President’s Message HE new science building loomed first as an ideal, then as an idea, and now ic is about to become a reality. The process by which this has been brought about has been most fascinating. Back of the original hope was the desite that this addition to the equipment of Ursinus might be the last word in laboratory construction. Consequently, the first step was to visit newly constructed science buildings, to study plans, and to seek counsel with those having expert knowledge and experience. From these we learned not only what to do but also what not to do. The notebook of Mr. Frank R. Watson, head of the architectural firm commissioned by the Directors of the College for this work, bears witness to many hours of consultation, examination and study before even a preliminary sketch of the building was made. Fully two years were devoted to perfecting the plans and drafting the specifications. This building will be 186 feet long, 96 feet deep, and 104 feet from the basement floor to the weather vane. It will have over 50,000 square feet of floor space and will house sixteen laboratories, eleven conference rooms, thirty-one service and supply rooms, seven class-rooms, lecture hall, library, director’s office with private laboratory, and two rooms for stenographers. At the base of the cupola will be a room for astronomy, opening on a roof-deck 45 feet square for observation purposes. The building will house all the work in biology, chemistry, physics, mathematics and astronomy. It is to be faced with Chestnut Hill stone and Indiana limestone. The walls will be backed with hard red brick and lined throughout with buff colored acid-proof brick. The internal construction is of steel and concrete. Beyond the building itself we have had constantly before us the vision of young scholars releasing their talents in the use of it and developing knowledge and skill that shall be of value to the world in the years to come. GEORGE L. OMWAKE Cyrus H. I . Curtis THE students of Ursinus hail with genuine affection the premier benefactor of our college. We are drawn to him not only because his generous support of this institution has contributed directly to the quality of instruction we here enjoy, but also because we see in him one whose career gives us hope, courage and inspiration, and whose character lifts us to high levels of thought and action. In presenting Mr. Curtis for honors eighteen years ago on the occasion of President Omwake’s inauguration, Mr. H. E. Paisley pointed out his great energy, industry and tact, his intellectual quality, lofty ideals and moral worth, his unparalled contribution to society in building up the home, and declared that his career signalizes in a remarkable way the possibility of combining in one’s life-purposes the ends of personal success and public welfare.” Consequently his life, as well as the fruits of his benefactions, sheds luster on Ursinus. Not only to us but to the generation of students who will follow us, the name of Cyrus H. K. Curtis will be one of endearment and encouragement. The Ruby 1931 THE aim of the 1931 Ruby is to present to the alumni and students of Ursinus College and to the public in general the approaching realization of the new science building soon to take its place on the Ursinus campus. To this purpose the 1931 Ruby has been developed in all its detail—both in an theme and in organization and content. The opening design on the fly leaf represents the predominate sciences in chronological order from left to right. First is an alchemist of the fifth century B. C. mixing ingredients with mortar and pestle. Next is a physicist of the fifth century A. D. representing the climax of the development of Greek science. To his right is shown a German chemist of the Renaissance period about 1500 A. D. The next figure is symbolic of medical research during the nineteenth century, and last is a scientist doing biological research on newest forms of microscopic organisms. Towering over all is the architect's conception of the new Ursinus Science Building within whose walls the most modern development and research work will be found. The titlc-p3gc panel represents materials of the various sciences and includes a drawing of the doorway of the new science building. The border panels of the double page spreads found in the opening section and in the main division pages also represent the development of science throughout the ages. Starting at the top left and reading downward we see represented: first, Galileo, the Italian astronomer of the sixteenth century; second, Lavoisier, a French chemist of the eighteenth century; and Franklin (1706-90) and his experiment with electricity. The figures on the right symbolize the more modern sciences viz., physics, applied chemistry, and applied electricity with the suggestion of the radio age into which we are developing. In the opening section we find a photograph of Mr. Cyrus H. K. Curtis, who is, as the President's message suggests, the premier benefactor of our college,” and through whose generosity the new science building has been realized. The main division pages contain photographs and write-ups of the alumni who have become prominent in the various fields of science and to whom the future Ursinus students may turn for inspiration. The subdivision pages contain a design of scientific suggestion which includes the name of the subdivision and the photograph of the individual most prominent in that activity. THE ALUMNI MEMORIAL LIBRARY Jfc twsssii f BOMBERGER MEMORIAL HALL fc«C -� •� w J i-Wti 11 THE DRIVEWAY TO THE GYMNASIUM Cock I The College P. Calvin Mensch, M.D., PuP. DR. MENSCH was born at Hilltown, Bucks County, June 13, 1864. His education began at Pennsburg in the public schools and continued through Pcrkiomcn Seminary and Ursinus College, from which he was graduated in June, 1887. In 1889 he received the degree of Doctor of Medicine from Bellevue Hospital Medical College and in 1891 the degree of Doctor of Philosophy from Grant University. After teaching at New Windsor College, Md., and serving as Dean of Claremont College in North Carolina, Dr. Mensch was called by Ursinus College to become the head of the newly created Department of Biology. In this position he served successfully until his untimely death, July 30, 1901, but 37 years of age. In both classroom and laboratory Dr. Mensch was very successful. He developed a meagre and beginning department into one of the best in the state, recognized by all the leading medical colleges in Pennsylvania. Successful as were his efforts as a teacher. Dr. Mensch’s labors did not end here. He was prominent as a man of science and is quoted as authority upon subjects of his special study and investigation. He was a member of the American Morphological Society, the Society of American Naturalists, and the Philadelphia Academy of Natural Sciences. His most important publication was a monograph on marine annelids entitled Stolonization of Auto-lytics Varians. To Dr. P. Calvin Mensch, '87, may be attributed the inspiration and development of the many under-graduates of his time who have since made the name of Ursinus famous by their accomplishments in modern science.

[43] The 1931 n U BY Campus Song When the shades of evening gather Ursinus students hie To the soft, greenswarded campus, For a time their books laid by; Anti the parting rifts of sunlight. As they linger soft and long. Shed a hallowed gleam of gladness On our merriment and song. Now the glees of old Ursinus Peal across the downy green. From Memorial to Olcvian Span the distance far between. And the walls of dear old Freeland The reverberations fling. From the East Wing to the Dog House, As our voices loudly ring. Then across the Perkiomen The chimings wing their flight, 'Fill beyond the far-flung hilltops They kiss Heaven's dome of light. Then as if they rued their boldness Come the trembling echoes back; Aud thus end the winged praises Of the Red, Old Gold, and Black. [44] Deck II The Classes J Robert Hearns Yerbes, Rr.D. THAT Dr. Robert M. Yerkes, '97 should find a place in this Science Building edition of the Ruby is especially appropriate for not only is he one of the most outstanding of Ursinus Alumni but he also participated largely in the founding of the Ruby, and served as editor-in-chief of the first issue in 1896. Dr. Yerkes was graduated from Ursinus College as valedictorian of the class of 1897 with the degrees of both A.B., and B.S. After continuing graduate work at Harvard in zoology, psychology, and philosophy, he received in 1902 the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in psychology. Thereupon he was appointed instructor in comparative psychology at Harvard and continued there as teacher and investigator until 1917. Between the years 1913 and 1917 he was psychologist in the Psychopathic Department of the Boston State Hospital. In 1917 he was called to the University of Minnesota to reorganize the Department of Psychology and direct the Psychological Laboratory. During the War he served continuously as member of the National Research Council, representing psychology, and as chief of the Division of Psychology, Office of the Surgeon General of the Army, in which capacity he directed the psychological examining in the Army. After discharge from the Army, he continued in Washington from 1919 to 1924 as chairman of the Division of Research Information in the National Research Council. With the organization of the Institute of Psychology of Yale University in 1924, he was appointed to a research professorship in that institution and has served there since 1929 as professor in charge of the Laboratory of Comparative Psychobiology. Ursinus College may feel proud that one of her sons has risen to so honored a position in the field of psychology and the present undergraduates for whom the facilities of the new science building are being provided may justly look to the accomplishments of Dr. Yerkes for inspiration and example.

So as everyone looks alike to him he calls them all George. Many times have we attempted to discover the source of a peculiar noise only to find that the center of attraction was none other than George. His Ah! Ah! Ah! could be produced to perfection and will always be remembered for its rather tragic results. George proved his worth an as accomplished and clever actor when he got the part of Dizzy in Disraeli. It took much careful work which was evidenced by his succcssf u 1 performance. Akx deserves much credit for his perseverance in surmounting the obstacles of a college career. As our Head Waiter he got plenty of practice making announcements which should stand him in good stead when making them from a pulpit. Alex” expects to enter the seminary after graduation.

That is the way the prophet Ursinus wrote in the year 1931 when he came to record the life of that elongated youth. It is a matter of fact that no one quite realizes George's size until he rises to recite, or talks. Then the observer marvels at the time consumed in the process. Nevertheless, anyone who ever saw George perform on the football field knows that when the occasion demands, George can move both swiftly and effectively. Allen is one of that great body of 1931 men who won varsity berths in their Sophomore year. As a guard George has fully lived up to the high expectations that were held of him then, and has earned his letters by his hard, fighting game. So much for the past. As for the future: from the experience he has gained in the used-car and parts business since coming to college, we should not be at all surprised to see George running a garage sometime in the near future—probably in partnership with Lentz.

There he devoted himself to the study of chemistry so successfully that he became a laboratory assistant in that department. Juggling elements is one of his chief joys and he certainly has become adept in the art. Bob’s greatest pride and joy, however, was shown in the special interest which he began to take in Maples. For 'twas not long ere he became a regular visitor there and a certain young lady began to take a new interest in baseball. We also understand that Bob does not need to clean the dust out of his mailbox. Bob expects to continue his study of chemistry in graduate school and his classmates wish him real happiness and success, juggling elements in his chosen field of chemistry.

Baver has been a day student for four years and we only see him around the campus during the day time, but we are always assured of a good hearty fellow to meet when we come across Baver in the College room or on the campus. He is a good friend indeed when you have mathematics problems to solve or some problems concerning the opposite sex, for he is talented and experienced along these lines. Yet in spite of these strong factors Baver tells us his highest aspiration is to teach history. He does know his history, even the details Carter gives in his famous exams. If he teaches history as he seems to know it in the class room, his students will have to step. Good-luck Baver in your work, but never forget to give due credit to your tutors in college, Dr. White and Prof. Carter. [54] The 1 9 3 i I? U BY JOHN RUSSELL BENNER Souderton, Pa.

She has shown her interest in athletic activities by playing on the class hockey and basketball teams each year. She was also chosen as girls' track manager for the last two years and has served on the Women's Athletic Council. Ruth has specialized in classical studies and we think she may teach for a time.

You may be able to find a better football player but you can't find one who plays the game more squarely: perhaps you could find a man who jumps higher, or one who throws the discus a greater distance, and of course, you can find a better marathon artist, but you cannot find one who does these things more sincerely, or who prepares more conscientiously, or who derives more enjoyment therefrom. In addition to representing his college on the Cross Country and Track teams, George has been an enthusiastic member of the String Ensemble. He is a violinist of no mean ability and on more than one occasion his bow has brought forth music which was a welcome addition to our chapel service. We are not certain what George intends to do after graduation.

Early in his sophomore year Ray landed a regular place at the wing position and has held on to it through all kinds of competition ever since. In fact The Weekly generally ran this line all through football season: Coble played his usual consistent game at end, etc.” Hut Ray didn’t let his activities stop at football. He became one of the main cogs in the basketball machine, and joined up with his inseparable companion. Sterner, in forming a hard-fielding combination around second base. In addition, he has managed to have some substantial grades marked up to his credit in the Dean’s office. It is no wonder, then, that Ray has never found time to let any co-eds bother him very much, or to go to Monday morning classes.

Upon becoming a Senior, however. Dill was seized with a spell of gravity and moved upstairs. On spring afternoons the casual spectator can see Mr. Dennis, clothed for the occasion, darting to and fro in connection with the regular baseball practice.

Her knowledge of contemporary literature and drama spans a broad field while her ability to write modern thought in present day idiom is very commendable. She talks of history, art, and philosophy with twentieth century understanding. Could she more profitably use her time? Violet, you're bound to succeed! You need not fear the result!

Her own impersonations of the parts she herself creates as well as of other roles are very well done. We arc sure that persistence in this field will bring her much success.

Although full of wit and humor, she can be serious, too. Dramatics, playing hockey and basketball have occupied much of her time at Ursinus. However, the activity of study frequently marked a place on her calendar. Among the numerous contributions York has made to Ursinus, Lib ranks high. Although athletics have especially been benefitted by her coming to Ursinus she has also starred in dramatics. Humor plays a big role in Lib s life.

Warren is without a doubt one of the pillars of our class. As an executive he has demonstrated his ability to lead successfully through to the finish. In addition to maintaining a high standard of scholastic work Warren's interests were many. He played football, managed the basketball team in his senior year, and ran for his Alma Mater on the track team. He was also a successful actor and a debater with a mean line. With all these activities we may reasonably wonder how he got them all in. We understand that Warren anticipates entering law school after graduation.

Rooming for four years in that card-center, Derr, he has proved that it seldom pays to lead away from a king or bid on his partner. Jake has done more than play bridge, however. He early devoted his spare afternoons to track, and became one of Coach Veatch's mainstays on the Cross-country team. After running distance for two years, he acquired a peculiar fascination for hurdling, and succeeded, after many spills, in breaking the Patterson Field record. As magazine salesman, steel-worker, mail clerk, and beetle inspector, Hirt has knocked around quite a bit His curls are said to have left trembling hearts in half the towns in the East.

Dormitory life furnishes only the background for John's campus career. He early won his letter in football, and served as one of Van Why s assistants with the freshmen last fall. His skill in skipping over hurdles made him a consistent place-winner on the cinder-path, and his ability in this line had much to do with his election as captain of track for 1931. Among other things he has shown a fondness for the German language anil customs—which was only heightened by a summer's study in Heidelberg. John has not been inactive socially, either.

He has been equally successful as a track man, holding the Central Pennsylvania Conference record for the discus, as well as shot and discus records on various fields. Socially he has shown us the truth of the old saying that the bravest are the tenderest. Modest and always a gentleman, he is one of those who have helped to make 1951 great.

A figure-rises from his crouch behind the plate, walks calmly over toward the nervous hur-ler on the mound, speaks a few quiet words, and goes back to his position. He raises his glove, the pitcher’s arm comes down, the ball thuds in the mitt in time with the backswing of the third strike, and Bob Meekly has once more helped a troubled pitcher out of a bad spot. For Bob has been first-string varsity catcher since his Sophomore year, after catching a season for the Frosh, and one of his strong points has been his ability to handle pitchers. There is more to Bob, however, than his skill at the national pastime. He has always found time for his studies, and ranks high in the select group of Boswell and Bone. One of the oldest inhabitants of Brodbeck, the fights and frolics for which that dorm is noted have never been complete without Bob, and we know that his friends arc the happier for having known him.

Chemistry and Biology are Bob's fields and such specialization has kept him in the laboratories most of the time. He, nevertheless, seems to have become acquainted with most everyone. Though a participant in many of the extra-curricular activities, Bob has proved his abilities mainly in dramatics. His crowning achievement along these lines was in his portrayal of the hero in The Thirteenth Chair. Indeed. Bob is a typical college student —in both social and intellectual attainments, judging from his four years of college life with us, one is led to prophesy that he will bring honor to the class of '31. {115} The 1931 RUBY TIIKODORK ROOSKVELT MOORK Brcx ki.ini-, Pa.

When Dot first came to Ursinus our impressions of her were that she was quiet, reserved, and studious. She had to live down all of these and now she is entirely the opposite. At the end of the four years spent with her we must confess that Dot will be longest remembered for her hearty laugh anil her abundant store of jokes. Dot, however, is at her best in acting. Her interpretation of the dignified matron, Mrs. Crosby, in the Thirteenth Chair was most praiseworthy. Tho Dot” enjoys various moods she will be best remembered as jolly, when her thoughts are apt to turn to Lehigh, State, or University of Pennsylvania.

You gather that much from looking at her picture. Little Miss Muffet besides being a shining example of a charming personality is also a student. Sarty's classroom achievements have been outstanding since she came to Ursinus in her sophomore year. Her large collection of A s and B's stands for a great store of mental ability. Studies are not always foremost in her mind, however. Marion is just another frequenter of Rec” Hall. Although her step is always light and air)’, like the tripping of a fair)- she demonstrates one of her numerous abilities on the dance floor.

Always active, ambitious, and not too studious, Babs” has proved to be efficient in whatever she undertook. She has especially proved her industriousness and ability as chairman of the Women's Dormitory Committee judging from the results. Babs has made a host of friends here at Ursinus and her four years have been most happy and prosperous. May her future be as bright and gay, and whether she continues history or Johnnie the class of '31 wishes her all the luck in the world. MARY ELIZABETH TAYLOR Carlisle, Pa. West Philadelphia High School English Group; Literary Club: Music Club: Choir I, II, III. IV'; Glee Club; Class 11odey ; Hub) Staff. IN SPITE of Beth's” geniality and good fellowship with her classmates and friends, there is something in the remoteness of her smile and in her far-away glance occasionally that makes us feel that her thoughts are often very distant from Ursinus and campus activities. However, Beth has many interests here, many of which escape any but a close observer for she is unassuming and quiet—until you know her! Her musical talent, both vocal and instrumental, go hand in hand with unusual originality in writing. A hidden ability which she is inclined to deny is that of drawing at which she is also very clever. In fact her art helped to enliven many a class in Philosophy and Lit. And so when we attempt to enumerate all this young lady’s abilities and interests we realize the variety and extent of her activities and feel sure that her chosen career, whether literary or in some other field, will be worthwhile and worthy of Beth.

Think how guilty you must feel for cutting classes- going to Philadelphia on Ruby business. Monkey business, that's what it was! Talking to him is easier than talking about him, for he's very well-known to us all. No remarks concerning his looks, his mental or sentimental qualities add significance to the story of a man so familiar to us. Tommy,” when you begin to teach, be easy on the little kids who come in late. Think how many mornings we should have gone without breakfast if we had waited for you to appear. Keep that full-throated laugh of yours ringing! We know you as carefree as Omar Khayyam. You shall always be boyish to us impulsive, winning, eager, smiling, sincere. [148] The 1931 nil BY GEORGE RAYMOND TODD Honey Brook, Fa. Albright College Chemistry-Biology Group. THIS budding young scientist is George Raymond Todd known to his friends as Toddie.” When you hear someone say holy buckets'' or by grab you know this young man is near and he never becomes more violent than these expressions suggest. Toddie hails from the little town of Honey Brook in Chester County. He came to Ursinus from Albright last year and while his activities on this campus have been limited he is full of the true Ursinus spirit and is always a staunch rooter for the school. Toddie has always been greatly interested in scientific studies and his keen analytical mind well fits him to teach that branch of knowledge. Toddie, your cheerfulness and earnest application to your work insure your success in whatever you may do and we all join in wishing you the best of luck. DAVID OSCAR TRAUGER Bedminster, Fa. Doylestown High School Mathematics Group: Class Treasurer, IV: Track and Cross Country Manager. IV: Debati Manager, IV: Y. M. C. A.; Secretary, III; Physics Journal Club, III, IV; Class Photographer; Ruby Staff. QUIET, unassuming and studious is Oscar. He is an expert along many lines, but we remember him best as the chap who seemed always to be carrying a camera around. As class photographer he turned in a first class job and, by the way, he develops his own negatives. He knows his stuff—this photographer! In mathematics and in physics Oscar sure has shown us how to do it. The slide rule method is the safe and sane way for him. No matter what happens he'll be able to calculate the problem through to the end accurately and successfully. Those of us who know Oscar can readily testify to his sterling qualities. He is always ready to perform his share of an assigned task with promptness and precision. We understand that Oscar expects to continue his study of physics in graduate school. With his excellent college career back of him we can predict for him only success. [150] ELEANOR C. USINGER Pitman, N. J. Pitman High School English Group: Weekly Staff, II. Ill: Associate Editor. II': Debating Club. III. 1V: Vice-President Literary Club. Ill: Student Council. IV: English Club, IV: Council on Social Activities, III: Athletic Council. Ill; Glee Club, I. II. TIT IN THIS case the E” of Eleanor might very fittingly stand for efficiency, as can be easily surmised by a glance at her many and varied campus activities. El is a familiar figure, rushing around, always in a hurry, and busy whether it be to a meeting, to the Weekly office, or to practice teaching. In fact she will agree that she has quite often been crazed” and very much ’’grieved.” Here is the young lady to whose judgment you appeal when in doubt as to what will probably be included in an exam or to decide some equally important question. And, too, there are those many noisy discussions which have characterized Maples and in which Eleanor usually takes a lead. [151] me 1931 GRACE WILLIAMS Lansdale, Pa. Lansdale High School English Croup; English Club. IV; Literjry Club; Debating Club; Varsity Debating. IV. LANSDALE'S contribution to the class of ’31 is a sweet, little miss who really is not a bit shy in spite of her reputation to the contrary, and who has added more than her share to Maple's noise and jollity. When in a serious frame of mind, Grace has been a very faithful student and has also worked hard in English Club and in debating in which she is very keenly interested. Grace’s plans, like many others in our class, is to take up a teacher s life next year and her earnestness and sincerity of purpose will surely balance her good sense of humor and fun-loving spirit. Lots of luck. Grace, and keep that good old Ursinus spirit with you! LESTER EARL WILLIAMS Philadelphia, Pa. Albright College Classical Croup. THIS dignified gentleman is none other than Lester Earl Williams. Lcs came to Ur-sinus last year from Albright where he had made an excellent record, but what was Albright's loss was Ursinus’ gain. Here at Ursinus he is keeping up the good work and to see his report is truly astonishing. It is as you would expect very nicely filled with A s. This is not all, for Lester has a delightful personality and has won for himself many friends on this campus. Of course Lester has lots of inspiration for his work as he goes home every weekend to look after certain church work. Por Lester expects to study for the Presbyterian ministry and is looking forward to Princeton Seminar)’ next year. [153] The 1931 BUBY MERLE LESLIE WILLIAMSON Allentown, Pa. Allentown High School English Group: English Club, IV; Literary Club, III. l ’: Dramatic Club, II. III. IV: Wet'll) Staff. H; Debating Club; Varsity Debating, IV; Student Council, II. Tsr THE roll of the 1931 busy-ladies and cain-raisers would be quite incomplete without Merle’s name in large print. She is just one of those jolly good sports whom you meet once in a long time and whose friendship is eagerly sought and cherished. In Merle, capability and personality go hand in hand. Everything that she has undertaken has been done enthusiastically and well, whether for work or for fun. Her path has not been an easy one for troubles have seemed to be ever present with her and only her cheerful self has kept her above ill health and despondency. Some of us will remember Merle for her never-failing energy, others will remember her as Maples' hall president and those who have been fortunate to know her intimately can not forget her sense of humor and her timely witticisms. As for musical ability, Merle has a little yodel all her own and Danny Boy is a very special favorite of her solos, sung only by special request. [154] MARION WILSON COATESVII.LE, Pa.

IV: Manager of Archery, III, IV; Manager May Day Pageant, III; Disraeli;” Trelauney of the W ells.” TST HAVE you ever seen a jolly girl with a perpetual smile and just short $'4 of pep and rascality? If not. meet Marion Wilson who for four years has been trying to live down her native town, Coatesvillc. Since Marion blew in on Collegevilles peace and quiet as a Freshman her friends will testify that there hasn't been a peaceful minute. To catch her in a moment of serious thought, however, gives one proof of the balance to her cheery disposition and ability to be a regular pal. She has engaged in many extra-curricular activities, including bridge. Marion has decided not to join the scramble for a teaching position and we hope that she will not only enjoy the Y. W. work which she plans to take up, but also escape the evils and dangers of New York City. The 1 931 n U BY RUTH WILT Phoknixviu.f, Pa. Phoenixville High School Hhtory-Social Sen net- Croup. A DAY student but well known on campus for her artistic ability, Ruth was always willing and ready to help boost with her beautiful and original art work in ad- vertising dances and other events. It Pays to Advertise” and it seems everyone found it paid to have Ruth advertise, for she made her posters so attractive in her various advertising campaigns for things on campus that everyone's interest was aroused. Ruth is taking up History and intends to teach it. we believe. Aided by such artistic genius as she possesses, Ruth should make a very successful history teacher if she follows the modern technique. [156] SARA JANE YEAKEL Perkasie, Pa. Perkasie High School Modern Language Croup; Curtain Club, II. III. IV; Trelawney of the I Veils;” Senior Rerue, III; Thirteenth Chair; May Queen Attendant, III. IS.’i' WHEN you think of dancing you think of ’Sally. Ease, grace and effortless motion she is the embodiment of these on the waxed floor. She carries that same gracefulness and charm into almost everything she does. She is not too serious nor too airy-minded; there is that moderation in her manner that Aristotle held to be the essence of all that is good and beautiful. With a personality like this Sally” would just have to be beautiful—and she is. You should have seen and heard her in The Thirteenth Chair.” This past summer Sally traveled in Europe where she made the natives admit, though they won’t give us credit for anything else, that there is nothing wrong with our American girls. Perhaps there is a little of the gypsy in her blood. At any rate, the young man with whom her interest seems chiefly to lie, has already earned for himself a reputation as a globe-trotter. And as Kipling says, The gypsy blood to the gypsy blood. . . .” [157] The 1931 RUBY Ex-Members of the Class of ’31 Elizabeth Albrecht Marion Hutchinson Martha Anders Howard Houser Barbara Baer John Ii.ko Charles Baum Dorothy Klingaman Josephine Berger Luke Kochenbf.rger Jerome Brussell Marian Kohn Ralph Buchanan Oliver Krapf Fulton Campiglio Hyman Malewitz Leonard Carey Earl Moore Adelaide Conover Abram Peters Fred Conover Eva Pierson Howard Creveling Edith Reiber Irene DiDonato Florence Roberts Frank Dughi George Rosen John Dykie Phii ip Rosen Rachael Evans Harry Royer Manley Fisher Kathryn Sampson William Flickinger Frances Schneider John Fox Jackson Shaw Donald Gerhard Roy Smith Theodore Gluck Dorothea Sterrett Paul Godshalk Marvin Thomas Charles Haas Charles Wilkinson Harry Hansell Vladimir Wislocky Norman Harris James Witt Harley Hunsicker Ignatius Weiringer The Class ef ’32 The 1931 RUBY Junior Class Officers President Vice-President Secretary Treasurer J.

At graduation he received the degree of A.B. with honors in physics. One year later he returned to the college as Assistant in Chemistry and instructor in Mathematics and Physics. Leave of absence was granted him for the years 1909 11 and 1913 to pursue graduate work at the University of Chicago. The degree of Ph.D. cum Iaude was conferred in 1915. His doctor's thesis The Flow of Air Through Capillary Tubes has been described as one of the strongest experimental evidences for the Kinetic Theory of Gases that has been developed. Upon his return from the University in 1911 he was given charge of the Department of Physics and later in the vear advanced to the rank of Professor. In 1915 he resigned and went to the University of Oklahoma as Assistant Professor of Physics. In addition to the work of teaching he was acting head of the department for two years and of the State Bureau of Standards for one year. It was during his term as head of the Bureau that it secured from the State Legislature an appropriation for the purchase of equipment for State Standards and for testing. In 1919 he went to the United States Bureau of Standards at Washington, D. C., as Associate Physicist in the Inductance and Capacity Section of the Electrical Division. The following year he returned to the profession of teaching as head of the Department of Physics at the State University of Montana. In 1923 he returned to the east and is now at his old home in Chester County. Fraternities -S The 1931 UUBY k [ k ! k k k ► Inter-Fraternity Council WITH the rapid growth of fraternities at Ursinus, it became necessary to establish a council which would serve as a coordinating factor in bringing together the various fraternities. With this idea in mind, the Inter-Fraternity Council was organized last year. At that time little was accomplished except the routine work of organization. During the present year the council has extended its activities until it now is an essential part of the fraternity system. After the close of the past football season, the council sponsored a formal dance in honor of the members of the varsity foorball team. The dance was one of the social successes of the year and promises to be an annual affair. Perhaps the outstanding achievement of the Inter-Fraternity Council has been its first organized rushing season. The rushing activities thoroughly tested the rushing procedure outlined by the council. While many faults were found in the new program, they are being rapidly eliminated and the council is benefitting from its first rushing experience in planning its campaign for next year. To stimulate a spirit of friendly competition among the members of the various fraternities, promote higher scholastic achievements, and further the interest in intramural athletics, the council has interested itself in offering prizes to the fraternities ranking first in the basketball league and in scholastic standing. This recognition will be awarded for the first time during the present year. Members of the Inter-Fraternity Council: J. Russell Benner, President; J. Wilbur Applegate, Secretary; Wilbur D.

The Council is advised and assisted in its work by the Faculty Committee on Student Organizations composed of Or. Omwake, Or. McClure, and Or. Barnard. A rushing season was sponsored this year by the Council, during which time the sororities were permitted to rush desired candidates for their individual sororities, according to the rules set forth by the council. The rushing season for Freshmen women was conducted this year from February 4 to February 18. The membership of the Inter-Sorority Council consists of the presidents and vice presidents of the six sororities on the campus: Gertrude Lawton, President; Beatrice Lesser, Vivian Davies, Vice-President; Florence Black, Marion Wilson, Arietta Het-ler, Secretary-Treasurer; Rhona Lawrence, Ruth Beddow, Grace Lamon, Mary Garrett, Rebecca Price, Eleanor Mengcl.

As such it plays a very important part in activities for women. Through the co operation of each committee of the Association and the individuals much lias been done to further ideals and character as well as train for citizenship. As a representative of the student body the Council throughout the past year has aimed to deal fairly with cases in discipline as well as add constructively to already existing conditions. Many steps have been taken to make clearer the purpose and ideals of the organization as a representative body. These have been most successfully executed and the Association can sincerely boast of many strides toward an ever higher type of student. Covert, Steele. Alspach, Stibitz, Massey Thompson, Benner, Applegate, Krall, Hess, Snyder, Kuebler Men’s Student Government Association President Vice-President S ecretary • Treasurer Edwin H. Krai.i. Warren K. Hess J. Wilbur Applegate AS THE class of 1931 ends its college career, the Student Council ends its third year under the present constitution. This body is elective, composed of six members of the Senior class, four of the Junior class, two of the Sophomore, and one Freshman representative. The student body forms the General Assembly to which an appeal of any case may be carried if desired by a certain percentage of the students. On the Council are two faculty representatives who act as advisers. As stated in the preamble of the constitution, the Council has jurisdiction over all matters not academic in nature. It has been the desire of the faculty and of the Council to adhere strictly to this preamble and during the past year it has been done. The aims of the Council have been two: co-operation and constructiveness. By cooperation is meant that between the student and Council and between the Council and the administration. By constructiveness is meant exercising the punitive powers to a lesser degree and devoting energy to the upbuilding of the more positive phases of college life.

President Vice-President Secretary Treasurer Miriam Fissell Evelyn Henricks Helen Van Sciver Carolyn Ozias THIS year the Y. W. C. A. has accomplished much toward forwarding a spirit of fellowship on the Ursinus campus. Not only has it been a goal to create an evergrowing fellowship among Ursinusites but also friendly relations with the outside world. The weekly meetings of the organization arc conducted by students. At these meeting students themselves or outside speakers take charge of the service consisting for the most part of a devotional program. The Y. W. in conjunction with the Y.

The Y” fosters groups in which the men of the campus can meet without hesitancy as to their acadamic, fraternity or religious connections. 'Hie purpose of the Y is fourfold and is founded on a Christianity which has Christ as its vitalizing center. In a few words, the aim of the local Y is: to create, maintain and extend throughout the campus high standards of Christ-like character. With such a purpose in mind the ' Y arranged a program, some features of which were: The Freshman Reception, Hikes to Lost Lake, Christmas Candle-light Communion Service and the Week of Prayer. Thus the Y” seeks to promote good fellowship and understanding brotherhood in order that the students may find and achieve the best in college life. The 1 931 U U BY The Biology Club President Vice-President Secretary-Treasurer Vacuity Adviser T. Henry Dembinski Clarence S. Livingood Riiona E. Lawrence Professor Brownback T. Henry Dembinski, Pres. THE Biology Club during the past year has enjoyed one of the most successful years in its history. Under the capable guidance of its faculty adviser. Professor Brownback. it has done extensive work in the various fields of biology. Many informative and interesting papers were read by members at the meetings of the club which are held on the first and third Thursdays of each month. The club has also been instrumental in securing speakers in the various fields of biology to lecture at the meetings. The Physics Club President D. Oscar Trauger Vacuity Adviser Professor Klingaman 'T'HE Physics Club is one of the newest on the campus but this year has testified to its growing importance. It was organized in the fall of 1929 under the capable leadership of Professor Klingaman. Weekly meetings are held Thursday evenings at which papers and reports on a hundred and one topics of nature’s phenomena are read and discussed. It has nicely accomplished its purpose, that is, to promote a wider interest in physics and its practical applications. D. Oscar Trauger, Pres. [198] The International Relations Club PresiJent Gosta SCHUYLER Vice-President HARRIETTS DRYSDALE Secretary-Treasurer MAXWELL F,. KUEBLER THIS club is intended to familiarize the students concerning foreign events and to broaden their outlook on foreign politics. Each week meetings were held and different countries reported on after which an open forum of the entire membership would discuss the report. During the past year the club adopted the policy of inviting outside speakers to address the club on various topics. Of special mention was M. dc Linux, who brought an interesting talk to the whole school. The club in this way and in its other functions occupies an important place on the campus. Gosta Schuyler, Pres. The Webster Forensic Club President Vice-President Secretary Vacuity Adviser Maxwell E. Kijebler Albert B. Sciric a William S. Beddai.l Professor Carter THE purpose of this club is to train its members in the science of oratory and to promote clear thinking and effective speaking. The Webster Forensic Club might be called the training camp for the members of the debating team. It is at these meetings that they get their preliminary experience in speaking as well as in working out the question debated. Professor Carter is the faculty adviser and under his leadership has helped the club to a very enjoyable year in the fields of orator)’ and debate. [199] Maxwell E.

AN ORGANIZATION originally established for students preparing for the Christian ministry, the Brotherhood of Saint Paul limits its membership to that group and functions with a view towards promoting a better understanding of the profession. At the first meeting of the scholastic year Rev. Franklin I. Sheeder read an instructive paper, The Educational Task of the Church,” outlining briefly the advance religious program of modern Protestantism. Inspiring as well as instructive. Prof. Sheeder brought much applause, a further tribute to his year's work at the University of Chicago. President John Henry Sando and Carl Vernon Tower, Ph D., faculty adviser, have co-operated to make this year more successful than the preceding ones. The Philosophy Club President Vice-President Secretary - Treasurer Chairman Mem. Comm. Maynard R. Hunter Betty Coombs Marianne Buck Violet Guydish THE purpose of the Philosophy Club, organized in 1930 by members on campus who realized the value of such a group, is to further an interest in philosophy anil to bring together and discuss various aspects and opinions on modern problems of life. Sponsored by Dr. Tower the club's activities thus far have proved very beneficial and of great value to the immediate members. New members are chosen by those in the club, the idea being to get different types and personalities. The success of the club, which is progressing, seems to be assured. Maynard R. Hunter, Pres. [200] 5 9 31 UU BY Ursinus Women’s Club THE Ursinus Women's Club aims to promote the interests of the college in general, but more especially to secure advantages for the young women. This organization began in June, 191 I, as the Women's Graduate Association as a result of a meeting of enthusiastic women graduates of Ursinus. Several years later the name of this association was changed to the Ursinus Women's Club so that it might include women other than graduates who are interested in the women of the college. The benefits received through the untiring efforts of this club have been numerous and varied. One of the most outstanding advantages for which the college was indebted to this organization was the maintenance of a physical director for women. Since the college lias assumed that responsibility the club now devotes its interests principally to enlarging the women's dormitory fund. This organization is definitely connected with our college and it includes active members from many places. Women’s Dormitory Activities WITH the breaking of ground on Founders' Day for the new science building and the consequent tearing down of Olevian Hall for girls, the women's dormitory activities received a new impetus. The drive was begun in 1927 by girls on the campus. Each succeeding year a Women's Dormitory Committee composed of one girl from each hall has sponsored various activities to increase the dormitory fund. In 1928 the Ursinus Women's Club added its support to this drive and thus provided an incentive for increased endeavor. Substantial gifts have also been given by boosters of the college. Because of the economic depression this year the activities of the Women's Dormitory Committee under Barbara M. Taylor, '31, have been necessarily limited. However, a successful rummage sale, breakfast, bridge party, and candy sale have been sponsored. The plans have already been secured for this new building and with continued efforts and co operation its erection should not be far distant.

A plan of complete reorganization, giving a broader representation and providing for a more efficient executive body, has been worked out and is now before the constituent organizations and the Faculty for approval. A study is also being made of the various student organizations from the financial side, with a view to putting these bodies on the soundest business basis possible. Prof. J. Lynn Barnard, Pres.

Hcinly, Hess The Junior Play THE Class of 1931 presented, as its play, The Thirteenth Chair, ' a startling murder story by Bayard Veiller, and the performance was repeated in October, 1930, on Fathers’ Day. Large audiences were thrilled by the superb acting which characterized both presentations, and the coaches. Miss Margaret F. Bookman ’22, and Dorothy Beck '30, were congratulated on their part in its success. The plot of the play is quite intricate. All three acts are laid in a living room of the home of Mr. and Mrs. Bruce Crosby (Albert Thompson and Dorothy Muldrew). whose son. Will Crosby (Robert Miller) has been congratulated upon his engagement to Miss O'Neill (Evelyn Grander). A certain Mr. Wales (Kenneth Alexander), however. believes Helen O'Neill to be the murderer of his best friend. To prove his charge he arranges a spiritual seance with Madame La Grange (Rebecca Price) who recognizes Helen as her own daughter, and refuses the name of the murderer. Complications ensue and the mystery continues, with suspicion pointing to different persons, until the final act of the play. In a last attempt, Madame La Grange proves Helen's innocence and discovers the real murderer to be Philip Mason (Stanley Omwake) who had committed two crimes. All things are finally solved and happiness ensues for the lovers. Other members of the cast who contributed to the success of the play were: Sally Yeakel, Ethel Strauss, Russell Benner, Elizabeth Heinly, Edwin Krall, Rhea Sell, Wilbur Stouffcr, Warren Hess, Maxwell Kuebler, and Theodore Moore. [214] Music U U BY The Men’s Glee Club Director Jkanette Douglas Hartenstine Manager John H. Sando Accompanist Alfred C. Alspach AFTER a year of inactivity the Men's Glee Club, revived with new interest and new members, began to work out its program for the season with real zest and spirit. In a short time the various positions were filled, with extra material ready in case of emergency. The programs of classical numbers, always rendered with a high degree of artistic excellence, were well received by appreciative audiences. The director, Jeannette Douglas Hartenstine, merits much commendation for the deep interest with which she supported the club and also for the true artistic style in which she led the club and interpreted the selections. The glee club made the usual number of trips, receiving an enthusiastic welcome wherever it went and upholding the standards of former years.

Mr. Horn, leader; Horn HE college band organized in 1927 had so depreciated by last year that soon after the opening of the present college year it was re organized with the Men s Student Council backing it. Hafer '31, and Moore '31, were appointed as business managers. The Council was fortunate in getting as leader Mr. Horn, of Collegeville, who had shown interest in previous years. Mr. Horn, who had previous experience in many forms of music, proved a capable leader and showed such faithfulness and interest that to him must be credited much of the success of this season. The band played at all home games and took several trips at which they were resplendent in their new uniforms. Especial mention must be made of Maynard Hunter '31, for his works as drum major, and of Hafer '31, and Moore '31, who as business managers made possible the new uniforms and the away trips.

Sturgis, has furnished music for the presentations of the Curtain Club and numerous other college functions. The organization played for the Sc ha If and the Junior class plays, the Founders’ Day tea, as well as many outside engagements. Much new music has been added to the repertoire during the course of the year. The String Ensemble is ready at any time to furnish chamber music of the highest quality. The membership includes: Dr. Sturgis, Violin; Stewart R. Baker, Violin; George Clark, Violin; Muriel Ingram. Violin; Betty N’east, Violin; Audrey Uniuh, Violin; John Clark, II Violin; Ray Williams, II Violin; T. Henry Dembinski, III Violin; Richard Schaeffer, III Violin; Alfred C. Alspach, Cello; Helen J.

It is composed entirely of students of Ursinus and is under the direction of William Springer '34. The orchestra has achieved an enviable reputation at campus functions as well as at outside engagements. The personnel of the orchestra consists of the following: William Springer, ’34, drum; Charlton Bonham, '34, trombone;Donald Brcisch, 34, trumpet; Allen Boyer, '34. saxophone; Arthur Fulton, ‘33, saxophone; George Hero, '33, piano; Edwin Gotwals, ’34, banjo.

Ai.spach THE Music Club is the one organization on the campus which gives those students who are musically inclined an opportunity to develop their musical abilities in putting on worthwhile programs of classical anil popular selections for the enjoyment of the members. The club meets once a month at which time programs of various types arc rendered. Vocal and instrumental numbers contributed by students receiving special instruction in the music department make up a large part of the programs. In addition to the regular monthly meetings the Music Club with a chorus of seventy-five voices rendered Mendelssohn's great oratorio Athalie, assisted by the Choral Society of Pottstown, under the direction of Jeanette Douglas Hartenstine. The Music Club should be commended for the successful way in which it presented this difficult but beautiful work. John H. Sando. President [220] Cock IV Athletics Cleveland Myers, Cu.D. Ursinus College may justly be proud of an alumnus who has become prominent in another field of psychology, Child Psychology. Dr. Myers came to Ursinus after graduating from the Cumberland Valle)’ Stale Normal School, Shippcnsburg, Pa. He was graduated from Ursinus College as valedictorian of the class of 1909, after which he continued his work at the University of Pennsylvania and then at Columbia from which he received the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in 1913. Dr. Myers served the position of professor of psychology and Social Sciences in Juniata College, 1912-14, of Professor of Psychology and Education in Brooklyn Training School for Teachers, 1914-18, and now is head of the Department of Psychology, Cleveland School of Education, and head of the Division of Parental Education, Cleveland College, Western Reserve University, Cleveland, Ohio. Dr. Myers has contributed to scientific journals about fifty researches and to national journals of education more than a hundred. He is associate editor of the Child Welfare Magazine, associate editor of the High School Teacher, and the author of the Modern Parent and Building Personality in the Child (1931). He has written numerous bulletins for the U. S. Bureau of Education. He has delivered addresses in about three-quarters of the states of the Union and has broadcast frequently over WLW and WTAM. His name is listed in Scientific Men of America. Who's Who in America, and Who's Who Among the authors of North America. These activities listed above are only a few of the many which testify to his active and useful career since he left Ursinus college. w Ifie 1 9 3i JQUJBY Ursinus Fight Song Fight Ursinus, fight Ursinus, Fight against the foe.

Kichline, G ach Eastern Collegiate Athletic Conference FIVE colleges of approximately the same size form the Eastern Pennsylvania Intercollegiate Athletic Conference, whose aim it is to promote good sportsmanship and clean amateur athletics among its members. These colleges are: Ursinus, Franklin and Marshall, Gettysburg, Muhlenberg, and Dickinson. Ursinus is represented at Conference meetings by Dr. Clawson and by R. C. Johnson, T6, Graduate Manager of Athletics. Other colleges have delegates of equal rank to carry on the duties of the organization. CONFERENCE FOOTBALL STANDING, 1930 Won Lost Tied Per Cent.

Coach The 1 931 J2UBY Review of Season IN THE first game of the season, Lehigh defeated Ursinus, 12-0, in spite of a strong second-half rally which outgained Lehigh and gave Ursinus the margin in first downs. Such a showing merely indicated the strength which was to he revealed later in the season. Haverford came next, and was easily defeated by the Grizzlies, score 20 0. Haver-ford never approached the goal line and seemed baffled bv the tricky attack by the Ursinus men who varied straight football with surprising lateral passes and effective-forwards. The thrill of the day was Sterner s run in the third quarter, almost fifty yards, and a touchdown to cap it. Then Dickinson was given a decisive defeat, 19-7, in which the Bears made 21 first downs and gained nearly KM) yards from scrimmage. This game featured strong passing by Coach Kichline s men and was the first Conference victory of the year. An over-confident and much-boasted Franklin and Marshall team visited College-ville on the following Saturday. Finding unexpected resistance, Foss Miller's team became almost demoralized, and the Ursinus men, at their best for this most important game, rushed line and ends for three touchdowns, then added an extra point. The Lancastrian offensive of bucking was brilliant, but never became really dangerous. Thus were the Rose-s beaten, 19-0, in another Conference battle. The fourth successive victory was gained when Ursinus trounced Susquehanna. 21-0. Susquehanna was evidently no match for her winning opponents, and the entire game was marked by listless playing. The Bears then whipped Gettysburg, 13-0. Having won four games in succession, they made it five against the team which had beaten both Lehigh and Villanova earlier in the year. The Grizzly line, which held well all season, did excellent work in stopping all Gettysburg advances. 'Ibis battle gave the Ursinus eleven the Conference championship, and proved it one of the best football machines in small college ranks. Muhlenberg was a stumbling block for the Collegeville men, who lost by a single-point. The teams were evenly matched, and in the last quarter the Bears had Muhlenberg on the run, but there was not quite enough punch to put the ball across. The tale is told in one point after touchdown against two, making the score 13-14. Coach Kichline started his second team against a heavy Swarthmore machine. When the regulars went in they found the opposition of mud and weight enough to slow them down, but fighting through these difficulties, they scored in the third quarter, the game ending 6-0. Army had one of the best teams in the East this year. It is, therefore, no disgrace that the Ursinus gridders lost 18-0 to a heavier and faster team. The entire squad fought gamely against these great odds and revealed the same spirit in defeat as in victor)-, the continuance of which will mean many more successful seasons at Ursinus. Wilbur D. StouffcT, Mgr. [229] A A A GEORGE Me BATH Ursinus has had two great football teams in recent years 1927 and 1930. Captain Me Bath lead the latter through a difficult schedule to conference victory. Mac” is known far and wide for his splendid physique and his ability to smash opponent's plays before they are under way. and has been selected for several honorary all” teams. DONALD STERNER Don Sterner has often thrilled Ursinus fans with speedy dashes for long gains, and few who saw it will forget his spectacular touchdown against Havcrford. But here is a man whose versatility makes it possible for him to score without crossing the line. He has place-kicked many points after touchdowns. HARRY MILLER Captain-elect Miller found the end position tiresome, was shifted to the backfield. and became one of the highest scoring backs in the East. He is a wizard at broken field running, and with the co-operation of his team-mates is expected to bring I'rsinus victories in 1931. GEORGE ALLEN Here we have a husky lineman. A guard doesn't get much of football glory, especially a bashful guard like George Allen. We see him when he dashes through to stop an enemy play in the open, but scrimmage is different. Ask any of our backs for his recommendation. [230] KAY COBLE Ray was injured severely in a game two years ago. This did not prevent Ins return to football. He has put up a steady and dependable game at end during his entire career and in lighting through has demonstrated the spirit which carried the Bears to the goal in 1930. CHARLES DOTTERER Crsinus triple-threat man for 1930 was '■Spiegel Dot-tercr. He not only selected the plays but did much of the passing and punting for the Bear Club. I iis kicks outdistanced almost every team played and his accurate tosses, scooped in by the ends, netted long gains. BLAIR EGGE Blair plays on the end of the line. A pair of fleet legs, a supple torso, and hands that catch passes: these are an end's qualifications, and Egge has them. Not only has he stopped punt-catchers on the spot, but he has added to L'rsinus scores. WARREN HESS Another guard, another unsung hero is the theme of this paragraph. Warren Hess has had four years of hard knocks, four years of stopping interference with his body, clearing the way for clean tackles. Men like this arc in back of L'rsinus Conference championship. [231] 6' The 1 931 '13? EVERETT HUNTER Combine the control, speed, and deception of a left-handed pitcher with real football ability, and you have a dangerous man on any team. '■Skip” Hunter has the qualities and was a unit in the special delivery department of the famous Ursinus passing system. REF.SE si per Home town boy makes good! This we can say for Super. What is greater praise? Super is the typical small, light back who by sheer drive and agility becomes the opponents’ nightmare. He has surprised many big tackles with gains right through the hole they were supposed to be- filling. KERMIT BLACK Blackie” is a versatile football man. He is equally good at bucking or backing the line and has successfully filled positions at center and fullback. His accurate passing from center is supplemented by his ability to support the line on defense. Salute the Duke of Bucking 'em! CHARLES SOEDER Charlie” Soeder is seen helmetless, breathing audibly, half-crouched behind the line. The opposing quarterback snaps signals, the play— a hole—Sender filling it. and the man is down. Ursinus backers have seen this little drama acted so many times that they have come to expect it. [232] 7 he 1 931 Z}UBY GERALD SMEIGH Although Smeigh is light, lie is. in the coach's opinion, almost an ideal guard. Jerry has plenty of pep and is speedy enough to come out of the line for interference. It is notable that no team except Army gained much through the Ursinus line. JOHN JULO Put a man weighing about 160 pounds in the middle of the line and have him stop enemy crushers, and you have a hero. Julo! What he lacks in weight Julo certainly makes up in strength and punch. He always gets the jump on his opponent. HERBERT LEVIN Of course Mac will be missed! But with Levin to uphold the L rsinus tradition of strong tackles, we shall see what we shall see. During 1950 Herb played a steady if not brilliant game on defense, and used his weight effectively in opening up the line. We ask no more of any tackle. JAMES HERRON It is said that Jim Herron spends so much time writing hit the books” editorials for the Weekly that he hasn't time to practice football. But judging from his game, it wouldn't be a bad idea if more aspiring athletes followed the lanky lineman into journalism. R JJ B Cl. AIDI- LODGE '■Claude” was one of the substitute fullbacks who Could be depended upon to come in in an emergency and make his presence felt. He has that low driving run which crashes successfully even the hardest line. ALVIN' PAUL The coach's prayer for a long, rangy end was answered in Alvin Paul. Although he was injured early in the season. Paul played well in several games. He is especially remarkable for his speed, which carries him down under punts before the receiver can begin his run. JOHN EACHUS The senior ends are to be graduated. Why worry? Hachus and Paul, who had much experience this year, will naturally fill the positions. Hachus is another strong, rangy end who can be depended upon either to catch passes or stop an end run. WILBUR STOUFFER Every team and season to be successful needs a capable manager. Dink served that purpose exceptionally well and took care that his team always had the best of care and accommodations. The smoothness with which even the longest trips were run off testifies to that fact. Coach Manager John Van Why. Coach reshman Football J. B.

In the first place, the competition encountered this year was more difficult than during the past few years. Secondly, the seven games won represent a larger number of wins for this year's team than the combined victories during the two previous years. Finally, the nucleus for a successful team next year has been built up during the past season. The team opened the season at Princeton, losing a hard-fought contest to the Tigers. Two games at home with Haverford and Moravian followed anti resulted in victories for Ursinus. After the C hristmas holidays began a long losing streak which can be attributed largely to the superior type- of competition encountered as well as t« illness and injury of the players. During this losing streak games were lost to City College of New York. Long Island University, Montclair Athletic Club, Lafayette, Albright, Lebanon Valley, Dickinson, and Susquehanna. In a game at Swarthmore, Ursinus earned a one-point victory over the Quakers. A contest at Philadelphia with St. Joseph's resulted in a loss. The following week the Bears defeated Muhlenberg and Albright, but lost to Villanova. In a game with F. anil M., at Ursinus, the Bears won after a very hard battle. This contest was followed with a loss at Temple and a victory over Drexel at Ursinus in an extra period contest. At Lancaster, the Ursinus team was barely defeated by I:. and M. The final contest of the year with Temple at Ursinus was won by Temple after an extremely hard battle. A notable achievement of the team was the winning of five of the last ten contests played. Captain Don Sterner was the outstanding star and leading scorer of the team. Coble. Dotterer, and F.gge, formed with Sterner a Senior combination which will Ik- sorely missed next year. During their freshman year, these men served as the nucleus of a successful Frosh team. Since graduating to the varsity team during their sophomore-year. all of them have been mainstays on the team. Sterner featured with his scoring and all-around ability. Coble and Dotterer formed a guard combination which gave no end of trouble to opposing teams. Egge, a veteran at center as well as at guard, proved his ability at both positions. Lodge, sophomore co-forward with Sterner, was also a brilliant performer and ranked second in scoring ability. Miller, a junior, and Paul, a sophomore, shared honors at center. Diehl and Mohn were capable forward substitutes and Eachus, Simmers, and Srneigh were substitutes at the guard positions. Warren K.

First Lehigh nosed out the Bears” by one point after Kichline's players had rallied to the lead in the ninth inning. With Karpinnen at top form, and allowing only two hits, Lafayette was routed, 12-0, in still wintry weather. The team showed good form and won easily. The Grizzlies” took an Easter trip through the South, only to be beaten by Davidson, and by the rain, which destroyed all possibility of games with Duke and Wake Forest. After such disappointments, the season got fully under way with wins over Franklin and Marshall and St. Joseph's. The victory over our esteemed and ancient rival was marked by fourteen hits for the Ursinus club, which played errorless baseball throughout. St. Joseph's suffered her third loss to Ursinus in two years in a game, the score of which will tell the entire story, 6-0. The team's next triumph was over Lebanon Valley, in which battle Captain Young, Sterner and Hunter each had a home run, and every member of the team made at least one hit. The first home game was with Swarth-more and the CoIIegeville team celebrated the occasion with a 7-1 victory. This was a real thriller, with two Ursinus home runs and sensational fielding. As an anti-climax Swarthmore sneaked in a run after two men were out in the ninth inning. Lebanon Valley again lost to Ursinus, this time 9-3, a record which indicates clearly the superiority of the home team. The season ended with Ursinus men making 20 hits to defeat Haverford, 10-2. On the pitching staff, Strine and Place both turned in good records for the season, and Karpinnen pitched one excellent game. Among the batteries. Captain Young and Sterner stood out, with averages near .500, but the hitting of the whole team was good, despite the loss of several games.

The Conference victory in cross country of 1928 need surely be mentioned nor indeed the fame of Gavin, Black, and McBath in their favorite events. Led by its coach, Ralph W. Veatch, the track squad has consistently raised the standard of its performance during the last few years. The interclass meet held annually in the Spring has shown constantly better records and larger entries. Last year this event was won, not without competition, by the representatives of 1931. During the 19.30 season Ursinus was defeated by Albright. 69-59; by Drexel, 82j 2 121 2; and by Franklin and Marshall 80-16. But in the Middle Atlantic States Collegiate Athletic Association meet, the Bears scored 7 points, enough to win over three colleges. Gavin tied for second place in the pole vault at the Penn Relays. His leap of twelve feet was made while competing against the best vaulters in the East. Ursinus also tied for second in the Central Pennsylvania Collegiate Track Conference meet, held at Gettysburg. Drexel and Susquehanna drew first with 36 points, Ursinus anti Albright second with 27l 2 points. Fifth place winner was Juniata with 27. only 9 below the leaders, all of which shows hot competition among well-matched teams. There are Class B results, but Class B records were equal to Class A records. Incidentally, Gavin set another pole vault mark and Captain Black was one of the high scorers of the day. Ursinus has been notably weak in the sprints and jumps, but this failing will be remedied with the coming Spring when at least two excellent men in these events will join the squad. The freshman team will send up other promising men to fill gaps in the varsity line-up, indicating a well-balanced and powerful combination for 1931.

For the girl who likes activity in its more vigorous forms there are hockey, basketball, and tennis teams. For the girl who seeks a less exhausing pastime there are hiking, archery, swimming, and track activities. This year brought to Ursinus College a new woman's athletic director. Miss Carrie L. Cureton, to take the place of Miss Helen Errett, who during the past four years had done an excellent service in building up a system of women's athletics at Ursinus. Miss Cureton found a large body of coeds eager to play and learn. As a result of her coaching, the Ursinus girls have had very successful seasons in all their sports. WOMEN'S ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION The Women's Athletic Association is composed of all women students who have received at least seventy-five points. The organization took a giant stride forward with the adoption of a constitution in which the point system is definitely set forth. By this system every sport receives recognition by points which vary according to the sport and the exact form of participation. It forms the basis of two awards, the Junior Blazer and the Honor Medal. The awards, presented at the end of the Junior year, were given to Anne Connor and Harriette Drysdale, respectively. The Junior Blazer was presented to Anne Connor for her outstanding work in all sports and for the respect and admiration she commanded The Honor Medal was presented to Harriette Drysdale whose outside activities were numerous and who followed closely as a candidate for the blazer.

Swarthmore, however, turned the tables by giving us a definite beating to the tune of 5-0. Drcxel was easily defeated 4 to 1 and in a return match with Beaver the Ursinus players were again successful. As this was only the second year of tennis as a major sport, the girls were justified in being proud of winning three out of four matches.

Having served Ursinus College in the Department of Chemistry for nearly thirty years, it is especially fitting that Dr. Beardwood be given a place of recognition in this issue of the Ruby. Dr. Beardwood received his early education in the public schools of Philadelphia, receiving the A.B. degree from Central High School at the age of seventeen. Five years later he received the degree, A.M., from the same institution. In 1891 he matriculated in medicine at the Medico Chirurgical College, under the pre-ceptorship of Prof. James M. Anders, now a director of Ursinus, and received the degree, M.D., there in 1894. After graduation he held a number of responsible positions, viz: Resident Physician at the Medico-Chirurgical Hospital, 1894-95; Lecturer on Anatomy at the Training School for Nurses, 1895-96; Instructor in Chemistry and Medical Physics, 1896-99; Lecturer on Clinical Chemistry, 1899-1900; Adjunct Professor of Chemistry and Lecturer on Toxicology, 1900-14; Professor of Chemistry and Toxicology, 1914-16. Dr. Beardwood w-as called to Ursinus College in 1903, at which time he accepted the chair of Chemistry, which he has held ever since. During his entire career at Ursinus, Dr. Beardwood has gained the respect and esteem of the entire student body, and especially that of the students whose privilege it was to come into contact with him and benefit by his instructions. As nearly a generation of faithful service to Ursinus College has rolled by, this Science Building edition of the Ruby is proud to pay due honor to Dr. Beardwood. Campus Life Junior Promenade 'T'HE Junior Promenade, which is annually a gala and festive occasion, was unforget-able for members of the class of '31. The gymnasium became for a few hours a transformed place of Japanese gaily and color, and the spirit of the large crowd attending was in harmony with the tasteful decorations, good music, lovely favors, and perfect weather. The unusual attractiveness of the elaborate decorations is hard to describe. An artificial low-hung ceiling of hemlock and vari-colored flowers, dragon panels and flowered boughs around the sides, decorated tables and stands, all contributed to its charm which was perfected in the beautiful pink flowered parasol lighting effects. Buck Weaver and his Reading band delighted the couples with their peppy syncopation and a most impressive march preceded the serving of refreshments when all participated in the Promenade, led by the Junior class president, Stanley Omwakc. The entire evening was perfect in every respect and was a huge success. Those guests whom the Juniors welcomed to the dance were Dr. and Mrs. Omwake, Rev. and Mrs. I.entz. Mr. and Mrs. Brownback, and Mr. and Mrs. Bone. Edwin H. Krall headed the committee in charge of the dance and was assisted by Rhea S. Sell, Grace E. Kendig, Ethel M. Strauss, Catherine M. Keplingcr, Barbara M. Taylor, J. Edwin H. Krall. chairman Russell Benner, Blair W. Egge, and John B. Lentz.

The author (and leading man) is none other than the popular Broadway idol, Carl Vernon Tower. It is hard to believe it, but this actor, like Milton Sills, was once a teacher of Psychology. Rumor lias it that the idea for this new skit came to him one day in class. One of the bright young students. Shifty Foose by name, was giving a report. He said a word which Professor Tower could not catch. Said Jacob: This is called an assault or sally. Carl Vernon: What?” Jacob: Sally.” C. V.: Spell it.” J.: S A L L Y. Then the light dawned with the dramatic force which was later to sweep New York audiences from their sophisticated feet and Carl Vernon Tower cried in melting tones of sweetness. Oh, Sally! James Lane rolls up his sleeve and goes a-hunting and let me tell you: That boy knows how fire to go. When he needs fresh are, no kimides seem to dare” his hade ; so, he goes as fire as the bridge. He knows what he wants— he's after a green one—one that will match or contrast with a green or red dress as a back-ground. Eureka! He's got one; he rolls it up and calls his shot. Snap! He lets fly, raises off his seat and with a keen optical exercise follows its parabola. Klunk! It dropped like a thunderbolt on the head of some unsuspecting student.

VANDERHOOF, multi millionaire steel magnate, opened his left eye impatiently and fixed it on his diamond studded wrist watch. My word! said he fastidiously. He didn't go into detail about his word. That was all he said, just, My word! He was one of those strong, silent men and My word expressed his emotions quite amply. Everyone knew what he meant when he said it; at least, if they didn't know they made a sound which might mean either Yes, sir, or No, sir. and tried to look nonchalant. Did you call, sir? Said a squeaky voice emerging from the next room. It was the voice of his valet, Jacques. You wouldn't have known whose squeaky voice that was if I hadn't told you, hut Cyrus I). Vanderhoof knew. Jacques had been his servant for years and his was a dear and familiar voice to Cyrus D. Often had it chirped, Your bawth is ready, sir. Jacques meant the same thing we do when we say bath. but he had gone to the Finishing School for Elegant Valets and had attained high honors in the Private Squeaking Class. (The instructor’s name, by the way, was Carter; interesting little coincidence.) Yes, yes indeed. Jacques was dear to Cyrus I). Vanderhoof. Often had he called him, My faithful Jack,” (Jack was his nickname for Jacques), and then would press a nickel into the grateful palm of his valet. This time, however, he did not press the accustomed nickel into the usual grateful palm of Jack. On the contrary lie raised his right eye-lid fretfully and looked at his faithful servitor, tastefully attired in a bath towel with bed-room slippers to match. So chic! What is that ungodly noise?” roared the magnate. Like all strong, silent men Cyrus D. Vanderhoof could make a great deal of noise upon occasion. This, to him. was one of those occasions. Here it was, only six o'clock in the morning and he had been awakened by awful confusion. What good does it do me to conic to the old homestead for rest?” he thundered. At this shout his Kinde Olde Mother out in Ye Olde Barne dropped an Olde I'reshc Egge in alarm. What could be the matter with Si? He was stil Si to her. All his millions could not make her call his Cyrus. She started fearfully toward the house, stopping on the way in the stall of their good cow Bess. She placed her arms around the animal in a motherly fashion. She had often embraced Si just this way. Putting her wrinkled face close she looked deep into the kind a dumb eyes. You will stand by me, Bess, whatever happens, won t you?” Bess's only reply was to offer Mrs. Vanderhoof a bit of her cud, but the latter was already hobbling house-ward. My little Si. she whispered at intervals in a motherly fashion, blowing her nose on her comfortable apron. The 1 931 There, there, pretty fellows, she said tenderly to the flies which were waiting outside the kitchen door with their noses pressed wistfully against the screen. You could see they appreciated this kind word from Mrs. Vanderhoof, for they all followed her into the house without a word and settled affectionately on her ears. Puflingly the good dame ascended the stairs. I ain't so young as I once was,” she breathed to herself with what breath she had left. Of course that was quite evi- dent. but no one heard her so no one had to say the polite thing. As she reached Cyrus' door she paused a moment with her hand on her beating heart. What could have happened to her little Si? Hess would stand by her, she thought, as she bit her upper lip savagely. That was nervousness. Then she knocked with her gnarled fist on the old oaken door. Oh Si! Si!” Please call me Cyrus, Mother,” said her baby in fretful tones. Yes, Cyrus, said she, biting her lower lip. (That was nervousness, too.) Is anything the matter. Si? Cyrus! he roared. Yes. by jovc, something is the matter. What good does it do a man to slave for his millions and then come back to the old homestead to rest, only to be awakened at six o'clock in the morning by such disgraceful noise? What noise, Cyrus dear? said his old mother pinching herself so she would remember to say Cyrus. At this question she heard Cyrus jumping up and down on his feather bed in impotent fur)'. There was also a squeaky noise as he savagely twisted the ends of his mustache which needed waxing. Part of the squeaky noise was Jacques who was peeping out through the key hole at the old mother, and hiding behind his bath towel. 1'hat noise out in the barn-yard among the fowls. shouted Cyrus, when he could control his voice. Perhaps one of the kine has gotten loose and is running rampant,” he yelled, beating his head against the wall in fury. 1 will go and see. Si, tremblingly answered his mother. Cyrus! he shrieked, frothing at the mouth. Quick as a thought Mrs. Vanderhoof mounted the bannister and slid down. Do you like that? she asked the flies which were affectionately tickling her ears. As she rushed out into the yard the screen door banged behind her. What do you say? said the stern voice of her son from his window. Ex—excuse me, Cyrus, I didn't go for to bang it.” She sobbed, wiping her eyes on her cotton stockings. On, on to the barn. She must not stop. The noise in the hen-yard grew louder and louder. She plucked a cotton plant near by and stuffed it into her ears. Bess, what is it? she quavered to the cow, removing the cotton and listening. The 1 9 31 What has happened? Bui Bess did not answer. She could not. She was a dumb beast. She could only chew her cud. She chewed it. The old woman staggered on. As she reached the chicken yard she did not dart-look. Placing her lingers over her eyes she peeped through them. A look of horror o'er spread her wizened countenance. It could not be thus. Such pandemonium! She looked frantically around. Then throwing her apron over her head she rushed to Bessie. You must stand by me, beast. Bess stood by her. Back to the house she dragged herself, but she was the bearer of sad tidings. Cyrus by this time had bitten off one side of his bed in his anger and was chewing it with obvious enjoyment when she entered the room. Jacques hid behind his towel anti squeaked in perturbation. (He didn't know that was the matter with him.) What had happened? The old woman removed her apron from her head, blew her nose, rolled her eyes upward and as she fainted, screamed, One of our hens has mislaid an egg. The Bi ; Game at Ursinus MMA HOTZHNBLATTER was born in one of our small Pennsylvania towns. She had never been .1 pretty child, and as she grew up matters became worse, if possible. Her greatest beauty was her eyes, a deep brown in color, but unfortunately, these were slightly crossed. Besides this, she was not only slender; she could be called positively skinny, and her knees were able to pass each other only because they adopted the practice of reciprocity. She was, at first, always bright and cheery, however, and her hope was unfailing that Providence would send her a man. She never neglected one opportunity to be nice to the opposite sex.' she invited young gentlemen to her home. She cooked delicious meals for them because she had heard that that was one of the best and surest ways. They came, they saw, they ate, and they went—with apparently no binding romantic developments. She wondered why. She continued to wonder; in her beautiful brown crossed eyes there seems to be that eternal and dumb question: Why?- destined to be answered never. The questioning went on for years. She tried everything, including listerine; and of course she entered her name in all of the known matrimonial agencies. Several times these agencies led her to hope, but when the prospective bridegrooms came to interview her their stay was always brief. She was a painful spectacle to behold. Her coyness with conductors and policemen became a by-word. Finally the mayor called together the important men of the town. Something must be done about this, he said sternly, bringing his gavel down on the table with a bang! Everybody had much fear and respect for the mayor; they shuddered with dread. What to do! What to do! No one said a word. The clock ticked. A pin dropped, bounced into the air, and dropped again. At last someone ventured a suggestion. It was this: why should they not suggest to Emma that she enter her name in Ursinus College? It had always been said that this place was notable for its match-making. Miss Hotzenblattcr had almost given up hope. The committee which had been appointed to see her anil give this suggestion found her sitting on the front porch, or stoop, waiting for her knight to go by. She always thought in terms of medieval romance and chivalry and could picture him carrying her off on his milk-white steed to some castle of love. She would give a few maidenly shrieks of protest as he grasped her firmly around her slender waist and placed her before him on his fiery charger, but then away they would gallop. Galoop. galoop, galoop. The committee, with its timely suggestion to go to Ursinus had scarcely left before she began to pack. As she travelled to Collegeville the very wheels of the train seemed to be saying over and over: I'm going to find him now, I'm going to find him now!” But alas, dear readers, she didn't. Nay, each day she spent seemed harder to bear as she saw the loving couples strolling about sturdy oaks and clinging vines indeed! They sat in Bomberger, they met outside of the dining room, they went to the Rcc Hall together but still Emma walked alone. She tried to be cheery, but it became harder The I 931 every day. The whole campus seemed to be sinking, Ah, sweet mystery of life, at last called on the others only twice and on her three times. She had heard rumors that he for his classes after that but nothing further happened. She took the greatest pleasure in the morning chapel services because there, being placed m alphabetical order, she sat only two seats away from one of the young men of the college. She was allowed eight cuts, but took none, in hopes that this proximity in her high, nazel voice with great gusto, looking soulfully toward the Business Administration group. One day it seemed at last that fate was bringing things her way President Omwake arose and began a speech concerning the couples who carried on social activities in Bom-berger. Many successful matches have been made in this college, said the president pridefully. Emma brightened and straightened her boney frame to fix a still closer gaze of intelligent interest on the speaker. But he went on to say. Those matches which have blazed the best in later years are not those which flourished in Bomberger; so. go down along the Perk, go to Bum's Hollow or at least wait until you get to the Rec Hall. This was said sternly. The light of hope went from Emma Hotzenblatter's eyes. Would that we had a Shakespeare to portray herein some idea of what a tragic blow this was to her! No longer could she even sit and gaze wistfully at the couples in Bomberger. From that day she saw those who had formerly always been together, silting at opposite ends of the long rows with never a glance in each other's direction. Now there was no hope—Emma knew it. One dark night she went down to the Perkiomen, determined to drown her sorrows, but alas, the Perkiomen was frozen over, almost. She managed to chip her way into an icy grave and the black waters closed over her head—forever. They found her in the gray dawn and over her head placed the I've found you! But to Emma it was still a mystery. Most of her Freshman year had passed and the only hopeful sign she had had was that one day Professor Bretz was susceptible. Could he be taking a fancy to her? Emma dressed with unusual care- might lead to something. Imagine her loneliness on the days when he took his chapel cuts! Her favorite hymn was God send us men with hearts ablaze,” and she sang this following: [289] End Acknowledgments ''I''HI- Editor hereby wishes to express his gratitude, first, to the Staff by whose co-operation this publication has been made possible, and to Edward R.
