In this Ruby we hare tried to show briefly the three ( narters of a century growth of I rsintis completed by the seventy-fifth graduation in Jane 1V45. because each year has thrust the roots deeper, spread them a little a ider. This fund: is dedicated not to a person but to every I rsinus student of the past, present and future for the students are the lifeblood of a college: they will strengthen the roots or cut them off. I rsinus College celebrates its 75th anniversary this year, the first class having entered in September. 1870. corporation was organized and the Directors held their first meeting in Philadelphia on February 10. I860. I hey selected the site which bad formerly been Todd's School. In 1848 Freeland Seminary bad replaced this school, and the Seminary was now incorporated into the College as a preparatory department. Idle College was named for Zacharias I rsinus, one of the followers of I Irich Zwingli. Sw iss reformer and founder of what came to be known as The Reformed Church in The 1 nited States. Zacharias I rsinus was one of the authors of the Heidelberg Catechism and a professor in the 1 nivcrsity of Heidelberg. Germany. cademie instruction was begun on September 6. 1870. in the seminary buildings, which are now known as Freeland and Stine Halls. However, the need for expansion led to the addition of Derr Hall in 1872. The enrollment was limited to men students until 1881. when women were admitted on equal conditions with men. A dormitory called Olevian Hall was used for the women students. This building stood on the site of the present Pfahler Hall of Science. The I rsinus School of Theology was opened in 1871. but was moved to Philadelphia in 1898. The Academy was discontinued in 1910. Since that time I rsinus lias been devoted exclusively to work at the college level. The Reverend John H. A. Bomberger was one of the founders of the College and became the first president in 1869. He wrote at that lime: “The institution owes its establishment to the liveh interest felt by its founders in tin advancement of education in the higher branches of learning, upon the basis of Christianity, and with chief regard to religious ends. W itbout the leadership of Dr. Bomberger and the constant devotion of bis followers, the College would not have survived. Following bis i Horn hergor Hull. death in 1890. financial assistance tendered by Robert Patterson of Philadelphia enabled the building of Bomberger Memorial Hall, which was completed in 1891. For the next three years Dr. George . illiard and Dr. Henry . Super, respectively, served as president, and it was I)r. Henry T. Spangler who introduced the group system of courses. For many years Bomberger Hall was the center of all academic activity including the science laboratories. The library was located in what are now rooms 6 and 7. 11 classrooms and offices were also located in Bomberger. Vdjoining Stine Hall were two tennis courts and an old barn which was used for storage. The gymnasium was located on the same site as the present one. but it was a long narrow structure entirely separated from the dressing room, a small building nearby. Since the founding of the college, extra-curricular activities have played an increasingly important part on the campus. The Zwinglian Literary Society was started a month after academic instruction began, and the SclialT laterals Society appeared three years later. The musical activities of these early years included Choir. Orchestra, and Glee (dub. In athletics, baseball was at first of major importance, but it later gave place to football. In 1897 the first Ri in was published and named in memory of Professor Samuel Vernon Ruby. The present college paper, the W kkki.y. was started in 1902. Dr. George L. Omwake. vice-president since 1909, became president in 1912. During the twenty-four years of his presidency the College experienced its greatest expansion. The dormitories were remodeled and a new dining room and kitchen were added in Freeland Hall. In 1922 the Miimni Memorial Library was erected as a tribute to the I rsinus students who served their country in World War I. The Eger Gateway was built in 1925 by George P. Eger of Reading, father of Sherman . Eger, M.D.. who graduated that year. In 1927 the present gymnasium was constructed by improving the old structure. Dressing rooms, offices, a gallery, and a stage were all included in the improvements. Previous to the erection of this stage, all dramatic activities were carried on in the chapel of Bomberger Hull. I he gymnasium was named in memory of Robert W. Thompson (1912) and George II. Gay (1918), noted athletes, both of whom died in their � � '“� • in k.� in 1Q9 the twin dormitories were built which hear the names of two benefactors of the College, Andrew R. Brodbeck and Cyrus H. K. Curtis. It was the lattei who in 1931 provided funds for the building of the Pfahler Hall of Science, which was named in 1944 in honor of George E. Pfahler. noted x-ray authority of Philadelphia. During Dr. Omwake s presidency the enrollment was almost doubled, the faculty was enlarged and the curriculum expanded, dded to all these improvements was the growing interest in extra-curricular activities. A women’s athletic program was begun during this period. Fraternities and sororities were officially recognized in 1929. The Lantern, the most recent publication, was begun in 1933. Because of illness President Omwake was compelled to retire and in 1936 Dr. Norman E. McClure, an alumnus and a member of the faculty, was elected to he seventh president of the College. During the college year of 1935-36 a committee of the faculty was appointed to administer the affairs of the (Hri inn Hull, a dormitory for girls uhich stood on thr stir of I’fuhlrr Hall of Science. « .4 sketch of women's dormitories uhich is under consideration as the next ftroup of huildinn to he erected. College. In 1937 a recreation room in Freeland was added. The Library now contains a museum on the second floor which houses the extensive collection given by Mr. J. Maxwell Shaw. At the present time there are nine women's dormitories situated off the campus. This year for the first time in the history of the College women students occupy Freeland. Derr, and Stine Halls. Plans are now being made for women to occupy Brodbeck Hall next fall. This is an outcome of the decreased men's enrollment caused by the war. To fill the student's need for a supply of books and other classroom necessities, the Supply Store had been established in a section of the boiler house. Two years ago a new and larger addition was built. The first summer session since World War I was held in 1942 in order that students might complete their college careers before entering the armed services. In July, 1943, the Navy 12 program began, and the unit now occupies Curtis and Brodbeck dormitories and uses the lower dining room as a “chow hall. ' Although many changes in curriculum and personnel have been brought about by this war, the fundamental factors which have assured the success of the College still remain, and will continue to bring successful advancement in the future. 7 H3TIIIV II 3 ft! tw.lfl rfl l JJ 1MI IN A3M III l oXa JO’) .tip fo U99Q « I HUMS II D II.IIUU II fo U 11.1(1 ii:mi:-M it.-iii i 1 i Nil I I IV 3 Hack rou : E.

We. the class of group of freshmen learning the ropes at 45, were becoming well-acquainted with Price's mystery halls. Brad's peanut hotter cake, cinnamon buns at the Bakery, and the tradition of Glenwood Memorial. The gala frosh dinner-dance at the Valley Forge Hotel was very deceptive and temporarily removed the sting from the humiliation of pajama parades and green head-hands. ar was declared on Germany, Italy, and Japan that winter, and the administration at I rsinus straightened its laces. Pranks and pranksters were clamped down upon —but not before hidden alarm clocks disrupted chapel services, dining room silver sprouted overnight on sacred East campus, and Tyson was hung in effigy. i i It wasn't until we were sophomores that the male population began to dwindle. There was that never-to-be-forgotten morning when the whole student body climbed out of warm beds and went down to the station at 6:30 to give a royal sendoff to tin boys who were leaving. That year again we found ourselves sharing a stray spoon with live other people until the silverware was discovered in the coal yard. But changes came inevitably, leaving constant only the mystery balls—which remained as much a mystery as ever. In retrospect, our junior year was a record-breaking one. It started off with the entrenchment of the -12 along the IVrkiomen beach head. We benefited by an enlarged, renovated Supply Store; the football team upset Temple 10-6; at our Junior Prom we initiated the custom of selecting a Prom Queen; one of our classmates became the first girl to receive the sanction of the school on “claiming as before to continue her education at I rsinus after marriage proving that only tin invincible combination of love and war is strong enough to alter Ursinus tradition. Quite a number of our classmates speeded up to finish in '44; in turn twenty '46'ers moved in on us. International affairs have dwarfed campus activities this our senior year. Excitement over the appropriation by the girls of the boys’ dormitories, swimming team and track team victories, and black sedans have been forgotten as the nation mourns the death of President Roosevelt and welcomes the arrival of Victory in Europe day. But our joy in the day of partial victory is subdued by memories of our classmates who gave their lives in the early days of conflict and the hundreds of other I rsinus men who are still fighting. 1 r� HH IIAK1I M.

When the I nit arrived that first July, the men were billeted in Itrodheck. Freeland.

What a change to have to undergo regu-lation as to coining in. going out. marching to meals, and only week-end liberty! The boys are now located in Itrodheck and (lurlis Halls. The n-e of these two dormitories makes for more uniformity in platoon organization, drill and inspection. The boys that make up the quota are now either directly out of high school, transfers from previous training centers, or from the f leet. This quota has centered about the two hundred mark during all semesters. Many activities here at I rsiniis would have been impossible without the presence of the -12Vrs. I hey have made possible football games, basketball and haseliall games, and track victories. They have also contributed much to the (.urlaiu (.lull, the (lull and Key Society, and tin- Weekly. special activity of the -l2 which will lie greatly missed i- the Navy Itall each semester. to tin- i'■ i-ii� ii 11iih'iii Ot (III- l . rKu.nu ll In-al’li-licad. lilt oil mi tin- campus li.nl ever In-artl of strength test- nr compulsory cross rnnnlry running: nr morning rwrciw .
