Wzgem THE RECORD ,19 HE handicaps under which this years Record has labored are t overcome at last, and we are able to present to you, at this time, the Year Book of the 1920 Class. That it is far from perfect we acknowledge with humility, yet we insist that it is bigger and better than its predecessors, and is therefore well able to hold its place among the Annuals of larger and more pretentious universities than ours. We have tried to make it embody, in pictures and otherwise, the spirit of your school life, and if we have in your estimation reached that goal, you may see here Valparaiso University as you have helped to make it. The Board of Editors and Managers we wish to thank for their hearty co-operation, and also all students who contributed in making this book a suc- cess. Especially do we wish to thank the Athletic Manager for his heartfelt support. EDITOR. flf-:.e4f9 20 THE RECORD 19KB; To EDMUND W. CHAF F EE, BAC.

I am extremely proud of the Class of 1920, for you have done most commendable work, and well merit, I believe, the degrees which you receive. T he world you are going to enter when you leave this Institution will demonstrate to you more convincingly than any argument I might present, that your education is not completed, but has only begun. If you assume the responsibilities of the future with the same devotion and studious effOrt which you have exhibited while here, then I have no fear of your suecesseit is assured. I hope you will not forget your Alma Mater. Its success will be meaSe ured by your success; its future just as great as you make it. It is placing its confidence today in youesustain that confidence and keep faith with it in the future. I hope you will always feel that if I can help you at any time, it will give me real pleasure to be asked to do so. Valparaiso University, its Officers and Faculty, are just as interested in your future and in helping to bring about the attainment of the goal of your ambition as you are. HENRY KINSEY BROWN.

Society has reached its present status only as a result of human energy manifesting itself in a stern and prolonged cone Hict between a sense of duty and a love of privilege. When, in the breast of primitive man, this contest was silently waged, its effect was chiefly limited to the individual himself. But today it is not so. Now, the complexity of social life is so dominating that every single action works either for the good or for the bad of society. In this age every member of an organization, whatsoever be its nature, is to a cone siderable degree held answerable for the success of that organization. So interlocked are the relations of the Twentieth-Century man that even his per- sonal life, his conduct, his innermost desires, are highly inHuential in affecting his associates. Thus, however humble his station in life, he will linally Wield a tremendous power for weal or woe. If the responsibility of the man in the ranks is so heavy, how much greater must that of the leaders be. Upon them are fixed the eyes of all others, and upon them devolves the solemn duty of pointing out the right path to the higher and broader vistas of the soul. Theirs is no light task which can be shifted in a moment. They have taken upon themselves the graver obligations forever inseparable from such a position, and it is of the utmost importance that they realize the exacting accountability to which they will ultimately be held. And who are these leaders of men? They are you, Seniors, you who are presently to be succeeded by a Junior class which now stands ready to take up your work. It is well that it is so. Seniority, with its accompanying honors and privileges, is symbolized by this garment in which I am clothed. It signifies all the achievements, all the ideals, all the hopes, of this years graduating class. Since the time has come when it must be passed on to others, it is I who have been authorized to make the surrender. Here are gathered next years Seniors who will soon take our places. They must set, as we have tried to, a good example to lower classmen. And now I, the chosen representative of the class of 1920, remove this mantle from my shoulders, and with joy and congratulation hand it to you, who in the name of the class of 1921 stands ready to receive it. Henceforth the responsi- bility is with you. Respect the trust and discharge its obligations with earn- est, conscientious dignity. Nineteen W ' RECORD 9 bwu BENJAMIN F. WILLIAMS, A. M., Dean of the College of Liberal ATtS COLLEGE OF LIBERAL ARTS . e HE aim of a College of Liberal Arts, as opposed to that of the i ' various professional schools usually found in a university, is to impart a liberal education. Its purpose is not to lit for a partic- ular profession, but to give an adequate foundation for any profession, and more especially to develop the varied human faculties and to enrich life itself. The word llculture may be used to sum up its primary objective, and culture implies at least these elements: the power to think clearly, freely, sanely; the capacity to feel with quick sympathy the common human joys and sorrows; an alert sensitiveness to whatever is beau- tiful in nature or art; the moral qualities of justice, courage, honor; a refined graciousness in speech and manner. To this end of culture, the College tries to bring attractively before the student body the best products of the intellectual, spiritual and artistic achieve- ments of the race. These are to be found particularly in history, in philos- ophy, in mathematics, in the natural and social sciences, in the languages, in literature and the other fine arts. Obviously the range is too broad for any student to cover in a four years, college course, but an intelligent selection may be made which will be suited to individual inclinations. The thought of the College is, that by living thus in the atmosphere of ilthe best that has been known and thought in the world, one is enabled in some measure to join the iione great society alone on earth: The noble Living and the noble Dead. This humanistic ideal of education is admittedly traditional and has held sway for several hundred years. Recently, however, it has been sub- jected to ruthless and contemptuous criticism, and is generally thought to be on the defensive. And yet if it be true that education can mould a nation,s ideals, that it can shape the destiny of a world, one wonders if the new edu- cation, materialistic and efficient as it is, has been such a success after all. The twentieth century, legitimate heir of all the ages, has grasped with eager hand the rich stores of material blessings bequeathed it by the past, but has seemed all too ready to cast into the dust-heap the accumulated mental and spiritual wisdom of its forebears. And we look out upon a soul-sick world, a world that knows no peace; a world whose proudest nation, the most efficiently and practically educated of all, has fallen into the greatest depths of moral depravity; a world whose youngest and sturdiest nation is reeling like a drunken man in an orgy of extravagance and selfishness; a world unsettled, unhappy, almost hopeless. For such a condition culture does not claim to be a cure-all. But for those who can acquire it, it offers a respite from the sordidness of the pres Twenty-three W W455 THE RECORD 1951:: . ent, a chance to withdraw for a time from the struggle into the company of congenial souls, a place where the mind can refresh itself by communion with the best and noblest. The College of Liberal Arts does not promise you wealth, but a richer enjoyment of what you have; not a greater wage, but the ability to live clean and decent and happy lives, if need be, on a small one; not freedom from labor, but a heart and a mind which labor cannot besmirch; not a narrow specialization, but a broad sympathy with every manhs calling. And it claims that these things are worth while. Twen ty- f 0m W CHRISTIAN MILLER, A. 13.. Brodhead, Wis. Editor-in-Chief of Record Christian by name and by nature, this Haxen-haired descendant of Leif the Lucky? admits that the plains of Wiscon- sin are preferable to the mountains of Norway. His years at Valparaiso have been busy and fruitful. In spite of his 13.- bors as Managing Editor of the Torch and Editor-in-Chief of the Record, Miller, in the meantime, has taken a step farther than most of us have dared goehe has ugot married. JUANITA FRAGEMAN, A. 8., Pleasant Hill, Mo. Alpha Phi Delta Secretary Senior Class Juanita is a girl full of life, hope, and aspirations.f She has the ability to fix her eyes upon a goal and to work until she reacheseit. She never forgets to take time to be cheerful along the way. She has a winning personality which has secured for her a host of friends. HERMAN L. NEWSOM, A. B., LeRoy, W. Va. Class Orator Phi Delta Psi Fraternity Managing Editor, Record Herman is clever, insinuating, always showing the belle esprit, and active in societies, where his wit and harmless po- litical meneuvers, which outface detection, make him a leader. His untiring efforts in behalf of the Dixie Society have won for the society unparallelled footing, and for himself profound respect. He is inter- ested in economics and literature, in which his taste is a sure guide. His deep insight and admirable moral courage promise a rare future. Twenty-five W I523 THE RECORD ,1950 :54 b-WU . EZO -----A 3:: E RECORD W TH VERNOM COOPER, A. 8., Benton, Ky. Class Historian Asst. Dept. Editor, Record The value of a man is not in his skin, that we should touch him, say we of Vernom Cooper. Quiet and unassuming, yet forceful in character, fearless in his opinions, courageous in his principles, possessing a reHective mind, this philo- sophical son of Kentucky has naturally and rightly come to be a recognized in- Huencel among his class contemporaries. His sound judgment, deep insight, and ready mind are sure guides to success. RUBY McCULLOUGI-I, A. 13., Jefferson, Ind. Alpha Xi Epsilon Hereis to our Ruby, thoughtful, stu- dious, frank and sincere, yet one of the happiest girls of the class. Her scholar- ship and her unfeignedt interest have courted the sincere respect of her fellow classmates. She takes a keen delight in all literary works. Her quiet, noble, wo- manly qualities have not been passed by unnoticed in the months she has been with us. we wonder, however, whether our honored president of the senior class does not have a keener sense of appre- ciation. ALTON BOWMAN ALTFATHER, A. 13., Berlin, Pa. Alton, one of our quiet members of the senior class, who hails from the state of Friends, is diligent, given to serious think- ing, and aspires to the ministry. His geniality has drawn to his side many friends. That he can make of his life,s work a success there are strong reasons for us to believe. Twenty-six W MRS. THOMAS CARPENTER, A. 13., Valparaiso, Ind. Sigma Theta One of our stars! One wonders that such a small lacly can possess so much energy. IHer sweet and lovable disposi- tion is her great charm. She has won quite an enviable position for herself through her close application and fine mental powers. She is not only our class- mate, but she is also a very efhcient in- structor in science in our own school. She already has one license, so that her license to teach, when she leaves here, will' be no novelty. SIMON BENSON, A. 8., Milwaukee, Wis. Phi Delta Psi Benson has been a diligent worker among us ever since he came to Valpo in the fall of l9l3. He was track manager of the High School Department in l9l3- '14 and l9l4-,l5, and won the Brown Cup both years. For several years he was wrestling instructor for the llY . He has the degree Ph. C. from our Pharmacy De- partment and has made an enviable rec- ord for himself as a student chemist. MYRTLE JOHNSON, A. B., Joliet, Ill. Sigma Theta Myrtle Johnson is a girl who is loved by all who know her. She is the repre- sentative of the A. B. Class on the Student Council, and president of the Sigma Theta Sorority, in which she has earned for herself the sincere respect of her sorority sisters. She is demure of counte- nance and possesses an innocent manner. Her geniality leads one to think that life is all sunshine. Twenty-seven W GEORGE W. NEET, Pg. D., Dean of the School of Education GEORGE KEPLER, A. 3., LaCrange, Ind. President A. B. Class Georgie didnit much fancy the idea of following a plow through LaGrange County,s rich loam, so in 1912 he packed his iiPrince Albert and came to Valpo U. He has selected the educational field for his life work, and says he can see clear sailing ahead just as soon as his white linen nurse,, down Ft. Wayne-way is graduated. History being his major, here,s hoping dates will soon be a thing of the past with him. THELMA CARRARD, A. 8., Barlow, Fla. Alpha Phi Delta Member, Dixie Society A kingdom for a pound of chocolates! We wonder if we could ever detach the H? from the HC. L., if we all liked good things to eat as well as Thelma? Nevah-evah. But few have as sweet .and sunny a nature as she has. Florida? than what we call her, and she,s just as sunny as her sunny clime. She says she,s going to be an old maid school teacher, but judging from parlor parlances, week- end dances, and Sunday evening dinners, we doubt it. CHARLES E. KENNEY, A. 13., Clifty, W. Va. Circulation Manager Class Business Manager, Record Charles Kenney is a modern Apollo, a man skilled in various arts, and in handling school subjects no less than a plane; kind, gentle, energetic, of studious habits, and unassuming, though numbered among the best of his class. His motto is, Let thy neighbor praise thee, but not thyself. Twenty-m'ne THER T hirty ECORD I LEONA WILES, A. 8., Cicero, Incl. Leona Wiles is an earnest, conscientious student whose lovable and Christian char- acter has won her many admiring friends. She is instructor in Latin, and has pur- sued her educational course ever with a noble end in view. She is active in re- ligious work, in which her Zeal and her service have marked her for a leader. JAMES A. VICKERS, A. 13., Big Creek, W. Va. Someone has said, uGenius is ninety- nine per cent perspiration. James be- lieves it, and while he does not call him- self a genius, his fellow-students call him a good workman. Only the Eternal can tell which is more Valuable to his race, ' the many-talented, well-rounded man who fills his place well and merges individual ambitions into the interest of the group, or the one with the supreme over- mastering talent, called genius. LAURA McCOACH, A. 13., Buffalo, N. Y. Class Poet Laura is a pedagogue by profession. She has attained an enviable standing in her educational sphere. She is studious by nature and aspires to get the most out of her education. She is especially inter- ested in Spanish, and takes particular de- light in the company of Spanish instruc- tors. Laura will go back to the school- room equipped to secure a surer grip on the child-mind. k: ARTHUR V. JOHANSON, A. 13., Wheaten, Minn. Intellectually Arthur is the unworthy son of Bernard Shaw and the Modern Scientific Spirit. A theoretical convert to the philosophy of pessimism, but knowing it to be impracticable, he neither advoI cates nor lives it. He knows that man and society are growing stronger and more beautiful and he believes in the salvation of man through love, labor, and education. His future is as uncertain as his past, neither of which worry him in the least. He says we should enjoy to the utmost the only life of which we have any evi- dence. WANDA WIEDERHOFF DAVIS, A. B., Valparaiso, Ind. Wanda Davis quietly passed through four years of college life bearing all the characteristics of a refined, college-bred woman. As a student, she has won the admiration of her classmates by her clear- ness of thinking, her ability to master as subject, and her broad-mindedness. She is sincere, sympathetic, and possessed of a sweet and lovable disposition. Cupid has not permitted her to escape his arrows. EARL A. CAMPBELL, A. 13., Pulaski, Iowa Ah, here he is! Campbell, as he is known to all, hails from Missouri, where he received the greater part of his educa- tion. Always wishing for better things, he came to Valparaiso to finish his work. Through all his school life he has been prominent in athletics, winning fame in track, baseball, and football. His con- genial society makes his company most acceptable and wins for him many friends. Thirty-one W ivasszo THE RECORD 9 av, WILLIAM I. GODFREY, A. B.! Mt. Sterling, 0. Wm. Godfrey, a man experienced in the affairs of civic life, came to Valpo a few years back to supplement his knowl- edge of law with a knowledge of psycho- logical and philosophical ideals. His quiet air and reserved manner conceal his deeper set opinions and ideals. He says little in the classroom, but rather weighs the opinions of others. MYRTLE GODDARD, A. 13., Oconto Falls, Wis. Myrtle during her stay in Valparaiso has been a member of the Y. W. C. A. Cabinet, has helped to build up the stu- dent class of the Methodist Sunday School, and has had charge of the Lembke Song Service. In spite of her busy life she has had time to make a number of friends. Her modesty, her sincerity, her helpfulness to others make her a model for her associates. L. C. HOLLAND, A. 3., Atlanta, Ga. L. C., Lieutenant Colonel, that mili- tary man who has seen six years, service in both army and navy. He resigned his commission last fall to come back to us. By his gift of tongue he came back from his summer work as the recordebringing book salesman. Thirty-t'wo W D. K. HUBBARD, A. B.. Siloam Springs, Ark. D. K. is a man of strength of character who is always willing to aid in furthering the religious interests of the student body. He was president of the University Sun- day School Class at the Methodist Church, secretary of the Boys, Glee Club, and takes rare delight in expressing his thoughts in poetry. ESTHER ELIZABETH F AGER, A. 13., Reading, Pa. 'Class Editor, Record Member of Record Editing Board Like one of Shakespeare's women; kindly she, And with a manner beyond courtesy, is Esther. Winning, talented, literary, her animated conversation is a challenge. She has in her sociological studies an inclina- tion and capacity to scrutinize tradition. She loves horses and long walks. Thoreau is her delight. Her scholarship and her address insure her success in her chosen profession of teaching. SHUICHIRO SUGIAMA, A. B., Japan Sugiama has been with us for a year; but in that time he has exhibited a keen interest and delight in all his studies. He shows a fine sense of appreciation for the American college, which is evidenced by his presence with us, even though he has already graduated from a college in good standing in his native land. He admires American customs and ideals. He ex- pects to go back to Japan to bless his people with Western ideas. T hirty-three W3 REGINALD TRIPP, A. 3., Essex, Conn. isSir Reginald,n in spite of his title, dis- plays a quiet and unassuming manner. That he makes an exhaustive study of all his subjects, let no one doubt. His Yan- kee iiidearsh and his New England pride never fail to attract. Some day we hope to see this gallant son of iinobility', occu- pying a chair in one of our prominent Eastern colleges. JOSEPH R. KLUEH, A. B., Jasper, Ind. Where sound scholarship is found there also is Joe. His brilliant and con- tinued work in college is, indeed, highly commendable. In 1912 he received a B. S. from V. U. In I915 a Pg. B. followed here. In I919 Indiana State Normal gave him a Ph. B. Already an experienced teacher, he will finish his study of law, and then seek political fame in North Dakota. Thirty-four W CLASS HISTORY VERNOM COOPER WERHAPS the class historian should be class confessor. But to 1'. what priest I should confess our errata and follies, I know not. This is a skeptical age and we may choose to go out unabsolved and unshriven. Being official historian, I shall move warily here. I confess no crimes beyond the conventional, which means in positive terms we are quite respectable. - ilAnd how our audit stands who knows save heaven. Our teachers think they do, but after four years of assiduous study of the philosophy of getting by with it,' and persevering practice of its art, most of us would wager they know nothing about it. How often has each of us been called upon to translate only that portion we have studied! How often have those very problems we had especially prepared fallen to our lot! In those examinations in history and literature with what good luck had we looked up precisely the proper points! If it has not always been so, we were 9, ilHappy in that we were not over-happy. Then, t00, we have been tempted, I fear, beyond our strength, to meat sure our progress by so many hours credit. We have not always done a few more hours in what we liked best, but taken a few hours more as they were needed. Certainly as seniors casting about for something to make our bread and butter and also troubled about what Epictetus called iithe best and Inas- ter thing, the concern how to live? we do not feel overaspecialized! The class of l920 is made up of many who have suffered interruptions in their college work. Soldiers have returned only to find former friends again in their classes; and feel, though they scarcely anticipated it, that they are a part of the class. Girls, who were during the war ministering angels in many kinds of service, have returned to finish what weightier duties called them from. It is fitting that those who have been so engaged, she whose symw pathetic helpfulness has refreshed drooping spirits, he who bore long and toil- some marches, and he to whom it was given to survive the battle, all should be joined: in one year more of association and companionship. Associationethe give and take of discussion, those occasional evenings when we forgot parental admonitions, serving both as an excuse and an exam- ple; the wild and frenzied support of our team; the clamorous shouting; the clan of the university spirit; those tender friendships, the hope and ornament of our college days, sometimes turned into impossible romances, some blos- soming without the promise of fruit, others hidden and unacknowledged; the Senior Ball where the accomplished Pelham and the ,umble Uriah Heep, the bright and the stupid, muttered their incoherences and watched eloquent and lovely lips reply. Thus, gradually the warp and woof of our doings got itself woven. T hirty- fiv e w o . W ' If-;:;gf9 . THE RECORD 1952.... The class had its quiet members, and others of an activity approaching perturbation. Schemes were incubated, cabals formed, politics played, al- ways with suflicient propriety not to violate decency. If we sometimes pre- tended these matters were serious, they may at least have served to put us llin form . The members of the class were constant to principles, devoted to a high ideal of civic and heroic life and loyal in friendship. The simple annals of the outward events of student life may be briefly dismissed. But it is not a simple matter to deal adequately with the inward life. What Carlyle among us has come up from his Dumfriesshire, already pondering over his Everlasting Yea,,? What brooding spirit, which no educational system can measure, no system of credits can reward, has salutw ed himself and dared look at what he found within? What proud aspir- ing spirit like Shelley thinks llwe might be all We dream of, happy, high, majestical, and like Swinburne, ponders over uthe excellence of sincerity and strength? It is not, unfortunately, given the historian to record those rare moments in which we have been moved by a thirst for knowledge, or delighted by the infinite variety of classical imagery llWhich Hits athwart our musings,, and awakens an exquisite perception of its influences. We have exchanged, or rather, like rude savages, bartered the illusions of Freshmen for the disenchantments of Seniors. The clever trader has gone, and, wondering, suckled in a creed autumn we stand on the barren shore. How little does it matter! The deep mark of erosion will be erased as we, like boulders, are rolled on the shining shingly shore of worldly banality.

NEWSOM HEN these commencement exercises are ended today a new being i emerges from the shadow of the walls of this University. Filled with the best theories a college can offer, he comes forth from the scene of his intellectual prowess. Another era has opened be- fore him, and as we momentarily pause on the crest of this deli- cate bubble of existence it is eminently fitting that we should objectively dissect this creature, the college graduate of l920, the man who must soon assume the responsibility for our civilization. Who is he? Where does he stand? What is his mission? These are the questions which the present hour demands that he stop and answer; these are the instruments by means of which he is brought to a realization of the gravity of his position; these are the stimuli by which he is to elevate his fellow- men and at the same time carry himself forward. Yesterday this care-free youth first entered the halls of this University, untamed and hopeful. He had come from institutions that knew not the leveling process of the work into which he ventured here, and consequently he was aglow with a super-abundance of hope that admitted of no impossibilities, of no mischievous adversity. Thus, in view of these circumstances, it was but natural that his confidence in self should burst forth in a dazzling glare which threatened forever to dim all his better qualities. For him the future held a fortune limited only by the bounds of a vivid and powerful imagination. The secret of success, as he knew it, consisted chiefly of grand aspiration. But to- day he stands on the threshold of his chosen sphere, completely disillusioned, no longer vainly confident and scanning the pathway ahead through the de ceptive glasses of unalloyecl optimism. The rude, impulsive barbarism of that earlier period has had some of its rough, uncouth features polished off by the steady grind of these long years. Trying years they were; but he now sees that the price was well worth while. No longer does he regard himself as the central organ of mankind. Gradually he has become aware that there are others whose ability parallels his own. The wreath of victory will go to the worthiest; and at last he has grasped the broad truth that this is no time for blind fatuity and unwarranted selfeconficlence. It must forever remain to the credit of the University that into its bosom it received this man, a mistaken student, equipped him with an excellent standard of morals, and sent him forth aroused to a proper conception of his duties and privileges in the spirit of to- day. Look at him yonder as he hesitates a moment ere he plunges into the dizzy whirl of the world. Clancing behind'him he sees the blunders of early manhood, the periods squandered upon useless pleasures or devoted to mis- directed efforts which can profit him nothing in the raging waters of this Rubi- con. These moments are lost, irretrievably lost, and the realization of what Thirty-eight W heme THE RECORD bra b3. perhaps otherwise might have been, fills his soul with Dantean sadness such as the great Italian master felt as he journeyed through the circles of Hell. Only a little while ago that past was with him. He was in it. He felt its force. He pulsated with the possibilities it offered. But now it is gone. It is an ugly dreameno, worse; it is an unwholesome reality, and from its accus- ing finger he gladly turns to grapple with the unknown future. He under- stands the magnitude of the struggle, and he coolly asks himself what his justifi- cations are for rushing into the arena where doughty adherents of the Practi- cal are assailing those who would uphold the ideal, where the sinews of war are more highly prized than war itself, where commercialism threatens to blot out the liberal culture of our'fathers. Never before in the annals of man has the conflict been so desperate; never has this old! earth witnessed such a strug- gle in which emotion, sympathy, and love have been so completely supplanted by studied calculation and trained intellect. Certainly, of all the epochs of history wherein the powers of affection seem to have been overcome by reason alone, this of the Twentieth Century is the most fearful. And who will undertake to arrest this triumphant march of commercial- ism? He will, whom you see yonder. Formerly, men of promise had achieved position before reaching the years of this college man. And bearing in mind that at the age of twenty-tive Alexander was master of all Asia; that at twenty five Pitt the Younger was Prime Minister of England and the leading figure in the Empire; that at twenty-seven Bonaparte had swept the Austrians out of Italy, thereby winning his half-page of universal history; who at the same age today can hope to enter the lists for the first time and contend successfully with the present form of human accomplishments? The college graduate will. Deferent to the power of others but confident in his own strength, he offers himself to his fellow-citizens as one who appreciates the problems of the age, not a mere theorist; as one who has faith in the common sense of his fellows, not a cynic and a scorner; as a man who is glad of this opportunity to serve others, not a selfvcentered creature. This man is thoughtful, serious, and determined. He is the product evolved by years of preparation and hope. It is needless to recount the long, solitary hours he has devoted to his work. It will not be worth while to mention the ephemeral pleasures sacrificed when he might have joined gay companions at the festal board. It is not for us to dis cuss the elevating influences of prized friendship that he would have cherished had he not felt constrained to put that aside in order to be true to his first love- successful service. He is not blind to the office performed by secret conclaves, closed doors, and Pacts of London, but he bases his faith in the straightforward, unequivocal ethics of the age of Philip Sidney, and he hopes to maintain those ideals, even to prevail upon others to do likewise. This is his mission. Of you he demands but little. For those months when he was buried in musty volumes of learne ing he asks only that you give him an honest recognition of his efforts. F or the pleasures foregone and the friendships that he has been obliged to leave uncultivated, give him a sympathetic appreciation of his labors. During the T hirty-m'ne W1 lfiQmT 2:0: THE RECORD Isigv 1.1 .Wg years that are now but memories he has desired nothing beyond the welfare of the public; during the years which are to come he desires only that his past ambitions may be realized. To be left unhampered, to be encouraged by your love of justice and fair play, is all he seeks of you, and even then he asks it not for the sake of self, but for others. v Now, for the last time, as you watch him go forth from the guiding inllUw ence of this institution grant him that consideration, slight though it may be, for no American could suggest less; and you will see that the graduating stu- dent of l920 does not hesitate.

SERVICE LUCILE SMITH s ' OW that we have come to the time when we shall no longer walk the paths of life together, we begin to realize that there is a duty awaiting each one of us in the world beyond the pale of the college walls. We, as teachers, realize that ours is the duty of service. We, above all others, must dedicate ourselves to the full life of service. We dare not think only of our own ambitions. We cannot hold only our own ideals before our eyes. We must learn to know the ideals of others. We must discriminate between the right and the wrong, between the good and the bad, and then we must teach others to discriminate, also. We must dediy cate ourselves to the betterment of the individual, and through the individual to the betterment of the race. It is for us, the teachers, to improve the generations of the future. Upon our shoulders, in the broad sense, rests the spiritual, political, and social worlds of the future. We must serve mankind and the generations to come by serving first the present generation. The hope of the future is the child of today. Let us, as we go forth on our mission of service, hold the ideals, the hopes, and the aspirations of the world, as the torch to our footsteps. Let us not forget that the service of the teacher approaches the divine, no matter how humble the task may be. The Great Teacher never feared to perw form a task. His watchword was liSerVice. It is the watchword we must follow if our lives are to be successes, and our profession enhanced. Forty-se'ven W CLASS POEM CLYDE J.

At last I found my breath and almost screamed, IILueile Smith! for $1116 enough it was she, my old college mate. We spent the rest of the day Walking around the school and talking over old times. I was curious to : ow why Lucile had chosen this place, but she said that she was too late .u do missionary work 1n Africa since it was no longer a heathen country; fand that she tried China, but the place didnt appeal to her, for she had too niggany suitors among the American and English staffs, while here it is ply a recreation to watch the entirely different types of people. In act she combs her hair the Martian style. I think I shall try it. . She told me that a little over a year ago F.

When I heard him laugh and saw his brOwn eyes twinkle, I knew was my old classmate, Clyde Thompson. He certainly is winning fame ,here not only as a scientist, but also as a great literary man. When I keel him why he had sought out this place he gave just the reason I ex- ted, Martians haven,t learned the art of painting yet.,, He always did ,to give repartees of that sort.

YATES It follows, therefore, that the Class of 1920 has its history. To mention the events connected with the history of this class since its real beginning in 1915, when Lloyd A. McDonald started here to school, would include incidents in several countries across the deep blue. I think everyone is satisfied with what happened over there, so I will leave that to a more competent chronicler. In September, 1918, the dear old Science Hall was not occupied by a large number of prospective druggists or chemists; but since this was the expected case, it did not hinder the small number from going to work very diligently under the guiding hands of their able instructors, which made the beginning of this year a success regardless of the many difliculties. Here it is deemed appropriate to insert a tribute by Professor B. F. Williams to our ex-Dean, Professor George D. Timmons, whose life was an inspiration to all students of his classes, and whose death at Indianapolis, July 18, 1918, was lamented by all: A TRIBUTE By B. F. Williams IIOut of the fullness of the heartethe mouth is dumb. I should feel like writing it, were it not otherwise stated in Holy Writ. F or when the heart is most deeply touched, when the more mysterious, more sacred experiences of life are brought home to bus, language is so pitifully inadequate. Words seem clumsy, cold, and harsh. The roll of the organ, the tender cadence of song, the glory and awe of an approaching storm, the wistful quiet of onncoming, peaceful nightethese seem more fraught with the pathos of grief and the joy of hope than anything that tongue can say. Most of all when we see one we admired and loved go down into the Valley of the Shadow. do our feelings check and almost rebuke all utterance. Then it is that words fail, the voice falters, and what we would like to say seems choked at the source. 50 I feel as I try to write a word of tribute to my friend and colleague for so many years. I do not want to insult with conventional encomiums the memory of one who was so unconventional, so spontaneous, so genuine-as genuine as nature itself. I could not hope in a few lines, or in many lines, to limn so unique, vital, and magnetic a personality. Yet I knew him well, as well almost as any man ever comes to know another. And having known him so intimately, I should not want to paint him with a halo, for he was not a saint. Sixty-six W tar f. zo THE RECOR' rs by , . aureole would not have fitted him; but how his cheery smile and the peculv y twinkle of his soulvlillecl eye with a quick, spontaneous 'joke or an apt illus- ation behind it, did fit him! I cannot forget that smile or that twinkle, or at bubbling well of fun. Somewhere behind it all no doubt lay sadness, dis- intment, weariness; but seldom did they overcast the sunlight of his cheer, epress his noble heroism of humor. . uA scholar without pedantry, a chemist whose world was not limited to semical theories and formulae, a teacher of a difficult subject who made it so active that even dull students got some insight into its laws and its poetry, orker who never knew when to quit, a man with a heart big enough to feel e thrill of life intensely, its pathos, its heroism, its incongruitiese-such he : I as I try to set it down. Possibly, however, it was his amazing vitality yd capacity for work that used to impress me most. So strong was this im- ession, that he was the last man with whom I should have connected the idea death. Of his remarkable gifts as a teacher I am not well qualified to speak, I knew enough to be sure that he was a teacher born and made. He en- d his classroom with a quick step of confidence and animation. He loved eacheand to learn; and so it was that one would haveysought far before ing a more alert, conscientious, or inspiring teacher. And now that personality so rich and varied in its gifts, so strong and pful in its human relationships, is gone, and of what I should most wish to I have no word to utter. Why it had to be, what it all means,- lWhat hope of answer or redress, Behind the veil, behind the veil , - h questions are not for me. Easy for some, to me at least they are unane erable. 1 cannot ease the burden of your fears, Or make quick-coming death a little thing, Or bring again the pleasure of past years, Nor for my words shall ye forget your tears, Or hope again for aught that I can say., llAnd so in helpless reverence I close. It was a great privilege to know 3 h a man. His memory is an inspiration. His deathel cannot speak of it! llGood-bye, Dickegood-bye ! In December the winter term began, but in following out, to the best of ' r ability, the prescribed course planned by our highly esteemed Dean H. Wisner, who had succeeded Mr. TimmOns, it was found to be quite rm work. Mrs. A. T. Carpenter, the righthand bower of our Dean, ' bled equations and chemical formulae on the blackboard at the end of e downstairs laboratory, until the market price on crayon had woefully Huc- ated. The President of the University kicked about such enormous bills 1' crayon, and when Mrs. Carpenter heard of the complaint, she was very d indeed, for in her earnest desire to teach a group of half-witted students at they desired to learn, she never thought that she was extravagantt Sixty-seven 5-. Fmrvj-zgfzg THE RECORD W2, .... Well, Tom, Mrs. Carpentefs brandenew hubby, was away in the Navy, which was a benefit to us, for sometimes she would be staring into space, prob ably thinking of some of those horrid old lisubs sinking poor Tom's ship, while we would be getting a good rest, or fussing over a formula. In our dearly beloved class, known as Histological Pharmacognosy, we received an introduction to microscopes, other apparatus, and reagents, such as would equip a research laboratory in the Smithsonian Institute. After a careful study of starches and different kinds of tissue, we received a collection of sawdust, powdered bark, beans, etc., under names that seemed to us as Creek would to a seventh-grade pupil. Of course these materials were issued to us as ilunknowns , a word which will always sound horrid to all, and we were to find what drug belonged to such names. As it would be improper to give any more time to this now than we did then, I am sure I had better drift along to Newth,s Inorganic Chemistry. To say it was an awful subject ex- presses the opinion of the Pharmacists. Aside from the death of our highly esteemed Mr. Carl Spence, which occurred February 16, l9l9, and which brought a realization to every member, of the loss of the brightest student in the Pharmacy Class, the term ended with nothing more happening than one continuous grind of Pharmacy. Spring came, and we started what the teachers call a new term. At this time of the year it seems to be harder to be on time. The only way to get lipep,, into a bunch of Pharmacists in the springtime is the suggestion of an out-ofidoors meet of some kind, which is invariably resorted to and hailed with enthusiasm. We welcomed the annual trip of the Pharmacy Department to Detroit, . Michigan, and I am sure that in no other way could we have absorbed more knowledge along the lines of real Manufacturing Pharmacy than we gained. As for the fun, that alone would have made our trip profitable. And now came the time to begin work in our Botanical Garden back of the science building. This labor is always done under the instruction of stu- dents of former years in order that we may grow much of the raw material used in the analysis and in the preparation of finished products to be made by the students in our laboratories. On June 3, l9l 9, we held our class day picnic at Waverly Beach. One of the amusements of the day was a botanical trip through the Lake Michigan dunes, led by Professor Wisner. The whole trip was a series of real enjoye ments never to be forgotten. l One of the most important events of the term was a lecture at the Auditorium, by Dr. Henderson of Michigan University, given under the auspices of the Valparaiso Pharmaceutical Association. His subject was The New Discovery of America. Preceding the lecture, a banquet was held in honor of Dr. Henderson at Altruria Hall. The first term of the senior year started in September, l9l9, but it was more like a reunion of ex-students. The most interesting affair at the begin- ning of this term was the meeting between Julian Dabrowski and Archie McDonald, both of whom attended one of our A. E. F. schools in Beaune, Sixty-eight W France, where they had studied Chemistry. Well, they came to a good place to get polished up after their course abroad. Two others who had seen life abroad were Stanley Broderic and Chester Wood, supervisors of the same hospital, at different times, in Germany. They, of course, had to return here to school and brush up a little before becoming registered druggists in our good U. S. A. Often it was real interesting to watch the smile on Dean Wisnefs face when some former students, not expected, came into his office to register. He seemed as glad to have them back as they were to get back. In about a week we were settled clown to real work. It would have inspired most any - down-ancl-out student to see how some of the students of former years returned and went to work. Prof. Wisner assumed the responsibility of getting Chester Wood out to his seven-thirty classeas well as a few of the rest of usewhich he found to be a very difficult task. There was a Junior reception given by the Seniors, in the East Hall Cafe- teria. Several interesting papers were read, although eats, seemed to be the most important feature of the evening. It has been said, iilnvite a Pharmic to , a function and he will ask you, iAre there eats? which goes to prove that under normal conditions heats, are the necessary substance of his life. It is the unusual things that Mr. Cox refers to in his teaching of Theoreti: cal Pharmacy. But the thing that interested the class most was what caused . Mr. Cox to part with his beard. No one had courage enough to consult Mrs. Cox, who could probably have put us wise. At this juncture Shultz discovered a way to enter Altruria Hall through the cellar, while Webster persisted in ascending the fire-escape. The Winter term of l920 was the star term of the whole course. A large class assembled for real instruction, which Professors Wisner and Cox gladly gave. The students and teachers being much better acquainted and .the organization of the different societies and Athletic Associations being perv ,fected, made this a term of hard work with plenty of recreation to wind up with the end of each week in order that each succeeding week,s work might be started with a fresh mind. Swartz, Mr. Cox,s assistant in the manufacturing laboratory, was a good friend to all the boys, but he would not dispense any finished products-mwhen he knew it. He persisted in reducing our issue for making oleo-resins, soap linie .ment and other articles so that Professor Cox often came near having to use a microscope in order that he might give our ultimate product a fair inspection. . But after the inspection he was never so liberal with Als. The government Nmust have made him pay a war tax on each A he issued, judging from the way he cut down grades on account of a dirty bottle containing a hard-workecl- for product that was really clean. This was the term in which Jones, Keys, and Knudsori introduced a new course of Laboratoryology, which is a substitute in the winter for the summer course in Sagerology. Our new athletic manager, iiJeH Davis, who happens to be a very competent druggist when he gets his bunsen burner burning and S ix ty-m'ne W W--.--t Fx-njefzg'. THE RECORD gives. his feet propped up on the drawer, tried hard to put the Pharmics on top in athletics. Mr. Blome, the head pharmacist for Frederick Stearns and Company, met with the Pharmaceutical Association on January 16, and gave a lecture on Food and Drug Laws, including the Harrison Narcotic Law and the Anti- Alcoholic Laws from a pharmaceutical standpoint. Mr. Bill Spear, one of our etheachers, who with his faithful pliers banged our way through athletics and gave us distilled water to analyze, was to meet with the Pharmaceutical Association on Friday, January 30; but on account of illness in his family he could not come. This caused a great amount of regret among the Seniors. There were several other lectures secured by Dean Wisner, and Miss Vera Conover, secretary of the Pharmaceutical Association of the University. Fol- lowing this came a Pharmic social and dance at the Gym, a real enjoyment and a great success. Mr. ilezy, our Class President, is so interested in the Pharmaceutical meetings that he usually brings with him one of the iifair sex to help out in the attendance. Patton, after being given a job as assistant in the laboratory, moved his locker off to himself, which created conjecture as to whether it was to get away from Lloyd McDonald or Mr. Steifer, or whether he simply wished to get near his friend and laboratory assistant, Mr. Swartz. But this guessing was as nothing compared to the woe we experi- enced during our final examinations. Late in February Professor Wisner had a close connection with the iiHuf, and, judging from all the thinking it took to answer them, he must have made out the examination questions just after the connection. However, we all passed the ordeal in fairly good shape. During the Spring term we took our annual trip to Indianapolis. Then we labored again in our Botanical Garden along with our strenuous course of dispensing and final brushing up,, in order to go out into the world and hold up someone for a living. And at this point just a few words on Industrial Patriotism as it has been brought out by the Senior Pharmacy Class. It does not matter what we call it or in what manner of words these thoughts of the quiet majority, that is, the middle class, are expressed. The application umiolclle class is only a name and no longer has any reference to the financial standing of its individuals. We refer mainly to the salaried people who make up this hostethe clerk, the oflice man, the stenographer, the engineer, the chemist, the druggist or pharmacist, the professional man, and others whose income depends on mind work, in contrast to the laborer and the capitalist. Apparently the laborer refuses to think just at this time, and the capitalist is becoming accustomed to paying someone else to think for him. Through all this turmoil and industrial noise and through this nword talk of individuals with perverted ambitions, there has been very little complaint from the middle folks whose average income is far below that of the manual laborer who has profited on public funds as much as the capitalist. Why are these people silent? Not because their income is suffiv cient, nor yet because they do not desire the luxuries of life and a competency Seventy W1 hawpf A h: ' -gmw-t- .g. . g. THE RECORD 3:1,: declining yearSenot because of that do they labor patiently at their days k. It is because the quiet majority are well-balanced people, taught in . y a school to think, so that from the examples of the past they can see over ' horizon of the future. The doer knows that the reward surely comes in portion to the efforts exerted; that individual progress is in direct ratio to application; and that progress of society must be evolutionary, never revo- mnary; and he asks no wages unearned, while scorning paternalism. He is y at research work or other duties. It was Gladstone who said that if hard rk was not genius it was a mighty good substitute for it. Both factions iri these controversies may Well look toward the middle , , then, as living exponents of true Industrial Patriotism. Let them meet he middle point of View, so to express it, with soldiers on the job who have es front, facing the future achievements while realizing that there is no rd without labor. Therefore, ye Class of 1920, who have labored and worried and Imped alongeherek to your success. Seventy-one CLASS PROPHECY OLIN B. CULBRETSON N A gloomy night of 1938, after returning from work in the lab' i ' oratory, pondering over many things, I thought of my old friend, Mr. Knudsen, and seeking him out in his famous observatory, found him at his astrological work casting the horoscope for some new star from which he would be able to tell the past, present and future. As I entered he paused and announced that he had just discovered the star which disclosed the fate of the Class of 1920, and if I would listen he would give me a glimpse of it. Thus he proceeded: The star indicates that the Class as a whole is very brilliant and has had no equal in any class that has passed out of the Valparaiso School of Phar- macy. They have done rather unusual things, and have established such precedents as no other class has ever dared to do. He adjusted the horoscope for me and told me to look. So I did; but what was the first thing that was to be seen? Eddie Keys and Chester Wood were amusing the audience at the Lyric Theatre of New York, with an ori- ental dance that reminded me of the iiShimmie which was so popular in 1920. Sitting on the front seat were Mr. Sweeney and Mr. Thorne, who evidently were making a success of life, as indicated by their enjoyment of the efforts of their former classmates. The New York Gas Plant of Tarrytown was next to glide into View. It was in charge of Felix Czysz and his chief chemist, Mr. Dunay, who was instructing some graduate chemists from Harvard and Yale. Mr. Czysz was conversing with Professor Shoemaker, the instructor of Organic Chemistry at Columbia University, about the new coal-gas discovered by his research men. The American Pharmaceutical Association convention was then being held at Chicago. Several members of the class of 1920 were present. Mr. Dabrowski was giving a lecture on The Retail Drug Businessf, and on the success he was now having under his present method at F all River. Mr. Yates told of his discovery of a sure and quick way for the manufacture of emulsions. The last on the program was The Revision of the Pharmaco- poeia of 1940, by Dr. Greene of Chicago and Professor Patton of North western University. They had made several corrections in the Pharmacopoeia of I930. Ufle told me that Mathis, Rocky, Broderick, and MacDonald were lo- cated at Detroit. So I cast the horoscope to that city. Mathis and Rocky were in partnership in a wholesale drug store at Woodard Avenue. Broderick was the consulting chemist at the Packard Automobile Plant, and MacDonald was at the head of the Bacteriological Department of Park Davis and Com- pany. Just across the river from Detroit, Card was busy supervising the Ford Seventy-two W I 7W want at Windsor; and Vera, the wellyknown Class Secretary, was keeping 2 house in first-class condition. The hustling druggist, Lloyd McDonald, was located at Marion, Illi- .V He was so busy that he could not find time even to get married. In the mountainous region of Idaho, Jones and Carpenter were demon- ting that elite is worth living , both being married and dwelling happily the Blue Mountain Ranch. The raising of cattle and sheep was their main stry. When San Francisco appeared on the horoscope, I saw the store of cc and Company,,. Mr. Coffee was just then negotiating with Jeff v15, representative of Eli, Lilly and Company, for a large wholesale order. re Beasley also appeared. He entered the store to purchase his favorite When he left I followed him and saw him enter the office of IIBeasley Co., Stock Broker522. In the extreme southwestern part of New Mexico, I saw a prosperous- 2ng ranger, riding towards the ranch house. He looked very familiar and . he dismounted I saw that it was Webster. I glanced towards the door the house and saw Marie coming out to meet him. The question in my mind ether they were married was answered when I saw Charles, Jr., toddling er Marie. F arther south, at Mexico City, Ochoterena was a member of the Peace :23: :ference that was still trying to negotiate peace with the United States. The horoscope not being strong enough to locate the foreign lands, I was lble to discover Sabieski, Miskawiec, Rudzik, and Schlifer; but Uffe int 2 ed me that he had received a letter from Professor Wisner of Valparaiso Tversity, who stated in his communication that the hrst three were in Moscow 'u research work for their government; and that Schlifer was at Jerusalem ucing the manufacture and application of a stringent which he had out while at V.

Eighty-one W rmrvtngig'zp THE RECOLD' ?1 , CLASS HISTORY t HE MUSIC CLASS of Valparaiso University has always been in - the limelight, for the musicians cannot be kept in the back seats. Although the number of members is not as great as that of some other departments, still all the rest of the University is dependent upon the Music Department, because the life of any program, social or literary, depends upon good music by good musicians. ,. The F all Term of 1916 found two of our members, Alma Ullrich and Saturn Skoniecka, working hard to reach a certain goal. They had high school subjects to grind out as well as the theory of music. While they were ' doing high school work here, the other members of the class were either finish- ing their preparatory studies at home or taking a years vacation. The opening of the F all Term, 1917, brought three more members of the class to the Hill. Helen lVlcNiece, already well-known to Valpoites, bear gan her struggle with Harmony. Hazel Gray, of slightly more southernw elime, joined the group of keyatieklers and chirpers. From the Easteand not far from Oberlin College, with its wellvknown conservatorydcame W. P Neal, Professor 0. E. Weaver acting as the lode-stone in this case. The years work, although hard and at times discouraging, was passed through with; success shining forth on every hand. The Fall breezes of 1918, which felt very refreshing after the hot, dry summer months, gave new hopes to the toilers on the Road to Education. They also blewiin three new members. Florence Knapp, likewise of local fame, decided to become a more thorough musician; so she made friends with the keyboard. From the far south, Texas, came Blanche Gadberry to underw take the difficult task of mastering the keys. The plains of Illinois supplied the. third addition, in the person of Vesta Meyer, who believed that a mixture of' Public School Music and smiles would win the hearts of all children. This year, instead of registering in the Music Department at the beginning of the;- Fall Term, Mr. Neal enlisted in the S. A. T. C. But as military activities- were ended by the signing of the armistice, he was discharged from the service in time to get back for the Winter Term, and by taking extra work was able toi make up for lost time. Commencement day, 1919, found two of our members in the graduating class. Miss Gray secured a Teachers Certificate in Piano and Voice, and Mr. Neal his Public School Diploma. Last F all found everyone back at work. Even the two in last yearls class decided not to be satisfied with slight successes, but to press on to greater ae- complishments. One of the first things that attracted our attention was the face of a new member in the teaching corps, Professor J. Francis McGuire, Pianist. His smile was always scattering cheer along his way. The spirits of all were sad- dened, however, when Mr. Weaver decided, suddenly, to leave for a larger field. Mr. Roberts had returned from'his activities with the Y. M. C. A. in ' r; 1 Eighty-two W 11;...45 30 THE RECORD 9 av . P i L4 ti .1 a k foreign lands, so the vacancy was filled immediately. The Winter Term brought diseases and sickness. One of the unfortunate victims, Miss Leah Steed, our popular Violinist, who was to have been in this yearis class, is not able to be counted among our number. Scarlet fever, which kept her out of school for six weeks, made it impossible for her to finish the required amount of work. Such is the past of the 1920 Music Class. May a lavish fortune guide its future. Eighty-three W1 :45, THE RECORD W3 PROPHECY FLORENCE KNAPP vjNE day while pondering over my counterpoint in my study roem I fell asleep. A vision appeared. I was present at a conventlon in St. Louis in the year 1935. This convention was composed of faculty representatives 'from various cbnservatories of the coun- try. I was experiencing much pleasure in the privileges of being 3 present at this meeting. For several years I had wished that I might know where the members of the Music Class of 1920 were, and what fate had held in store for them. But - little did I think when I left Indiana to go to St. Louis that I would have the.- opportunity of meeting several of my old classmates from the Brown and Gold? Upon my arrival in St. Louis, I was met and escorted to one of the largest hotels by two ladies who were residents of that city. While driving from the i station, my most courteous and congenial escorts asked me from what school. I was a graduate. I took pride in saying that I claimed Valparaiso University as my Alma Mater. I Valparaiso University? one of them exclaimed. I have already met; two representatives who are graduates of the Valparaiso Conservatory of Music? And do you remember their names? I asked enthusiastically. uI believe the gentleman was Professor W. P. Neal of Boston, who is: Dean of the Conservatory there, and the lady was Miss McNiece, Professor of Piano at the Cincinnati Conservatory, she replied. What a coincidence! I exclaimed. nBoth were classmates of mine. in 1920. I must not fail to see them and have a talk with them. By this time, having reached the hotel, I left my kind escorts. My first; thought was to get myself ready for the reception which was to be given. that night in the parlors of the hotel; my next thought, to look for my old friends. At eight delock, as I entered the beautifully decorated parlors, the one person to attract my attention was a sweet-faced, slender woman of medium height. At that moment I entertained no idea of having met her before, but soon my curiosity became aroused by the manner in which she was looking at me. Suddenly it dawned upon me who it was, and I hastened toward her. Helen McNiece!H I exclaimed. She was even more surprised than 1, since she had not heard that I was to be present. The next moment a gentleman stepped up to us, whom we recognized as Paul Neal. The conversation which followed was the most interesting I had had in a long time. iiHere are three of the Class of 1920; but do you know what has become of any of the others? I asked. E ighty- f our Yep .g' A s - . nAMMQ: ,W ,m THE RECORD rs A23. IiWhen I was in Detroit last summer? said Helen, I called on Vesta Meyer tMrs. Rogersl. She is one of the leading society ladies of that city. Alma Ullrich has become a noted concert pianiste; I heard her in Chicago about a year ago. uWell, I certainly am pleased to hear that these two of our class have done so well, I said. III suppose you already know that Hazel Gray is Dean of Women at Valparaiso University now? N03, replied both my listeners. Yes, she has been holding that position for nearly two years and has enjoyed quite a success. She has succeeded in having the curfew rung at nine o,clock. You know it used to be ten. She followed the music profession for nearly ten years and did very well. She accepted this institutional work be- cause of the larger opportunities for public speaking. You know Hazel al- ways did like to have an audience to talk to. I also heard that Miss Gadberry had married a prominent lawyer of New York City. But what has become of Leah Steed and Saturn Skoniecka? I asked. uDidn,t you know,,, asked Neal, that Miss Steed has become very famous as a Violinist and spends part of her time teaching in the East, and the remainder in giving concerts? uIsn,t that fine! I exclaimed. nI always thought that Leah would be in the limelight some clay iIOh, by the way,,, interrupted Helen, about six months ago Saturn Skoniecka was in Cincinnati appearing as contralto soloist with the Minnev apolis Symphony. I was very much surprised because I had not heard from her for so long. She said she had been abroad several times in recent years, which accounted for my losing all trace of her.,, IIWell, this accounts for all of the Octave Class of 1920, doesn,t it?,, I asked. Just then my roommate tapped me on the shoulder and said, iiIt is four o,clock; don,t you go to counterpoint this hour? Eighty-five W f WZ-Lxsfzo THE RE; 00: RD' mg. mg. ----A FRANK R. THEROUX, C.

During several years, association with you I learned to know you as friends and fellow students, and consequently will miss you after your departure. The opportunities before you are varied and numerous. There are many branches of work in the engineering profession to choose from, and it is, no doubt, difficult for one to decide which is really best for him to follow. You may be advised that you should be a structural engineer, a highway engia neer, a sales engineer, etc., etc.; but Circumstances often govern the line of work into which an engineer enters. There are many new branches of engia neering open to the graduates of the Engineering Schools, and unless you have previously decided on the work which you intend to follow, this may make your choice more difficult. I do not believe that there is one and only one line of engineering work for which the majority of you are fitted. You have the fundamentals underlying all engineering work, and, I believe, with the proper applications of these principles all of you will be successful in any one of a number of branches of engineering endeavor. However, if you do have an inclination, or decide, to enter a certain branch of work, do not hesitate to start in a position that will be helpful to your experience, whatever the position may be, and despite the small salary offered. Too many graduates look for positions which bring the greatest imme- diate income. At present you find that each of you probably has several posi- tions to choose from. Remember that you are not accredited to assume large responsibilities until, you have proved your qualifications by practice. If you would make the most of your opportunities, your studies do not end on re ceiving your sheepskin. Your knowledge is a small part of what it should be a few years from now. It is hoped that you have been guided so that you may know and feel a desire for further study of every problem which con! fronts you. As you enter engineering organizations and become actively aSw sociated with engineers and engineering problems you will, no doubt, realize how your present knowledge is limited. In order to become leaders in your profession sacrifices must be made, faithful and honest service must be rendered always, and your work made a special study. Valpo graduates have always found themselves entirely prepared to com- pete successfully with the graduates of any other school, and have taken im- portant places in various branches of the Engineering Profession. I feel cone l'lant that this years Class will be a credit to the School, and you can be aSe sured that you are all wished a successful career in your chosen profession.

SILVER iROM the four corners of the globe did they come, each with a 5 firm resolution in his mind to obtain the necessary training and knowledge, and thereby be of greater service to himself, his nation, and the world at large. Many institutions of learning were bidding for their attendance, but none with an appeal so full of unselfish democracy and sincere fraternity as issued forth from good old Valparaiso University. Is it any wonder that they all gravitated hither? We arrived here in the fall of 191 7 and immediately set ourselves to work. We dabbled in chemistry, trigonometry, and descriptive geometry with the zeal and ardor peculiar to engineers. Like all successful builders who begin their construction work with tearing down to the foundation, we first splitthe infinite into infinitesimal parts, and finally reproduced the infinite from the summation of the minute inlinitesimals. Our real joy culminated with the beginning of surveying. We considered ourselves master engineers, and our inward joyewe were too modest to be ostentatiouSeknew no bounds. In the meantime we donned our garment of Sophomores. Graphic Statics was our next object of attack, and we certainly assailed it hard, from which we emerged victors as well as Juniors. Our strong point was Railroad Engineering. By plenty of fence climbing and berryapicking we succeeded in planting a railroad where none was known to prosper before. And it is largely due to our careful planning and the ideal layout of the road that the Valparaiso Connecting Railroad Company is entering its second year of service without accident or mishap and with no deficit in its fiscal reports. lThey all work very nicelyeon paperj Nor did our work go unrecognized, for upon the completion of the road we were given permission to afhx ilSenior to our names. And now we are a serious body of men. The world is just beginning to rebuild itself and is sadly in need of men with supreme courage, unblem- ished in character, and possessors of big ideas, men who can dream dreams which may come true. It is our good fortune to have been trained along these lines, and now it is our duty, as well as our privilege, to put to practical use the scientific knowledge stored up within us. Are we equal to our op- portunity, and will we make good? We will try our best. N ine ty-sev en W PTgsgleo THE RE'CO:ED W,19, CLASS PROPHECY N ESTOR N. VLACHos EN years ago when my late friend, Sir Oliver Lodge, made a ' friendly call to our home, he told me that my wife possessed many astral and psychic forces, and that some day she was going to develop into a powerful clairvoyant medium. Many a time, indeed, I experienced such spirit manifestations in my room as unexpected noises, playing on the piano, knocks at the doors at very late hours, sarcastic laughs, etc., etc., but only after three years of patient experimenting did I succeed in communicating with spirits of the higher planes, i. e., the spirits of Socrates, of Plato, of St. Louis and many others, all of whom gave me beautiful descriptions of the life beyond. Yesterday, however, on my return from a trip to Bagdad, where I was sent by the Sultan to measure the velocity of the How of the Tigris and Euphrates, my wife told me that her guardian angel appeared to her three times and that he wished to communicate a few things of immediate interest to me. I assured her that I would be glad to listen ' to said spirit, which was none other than that of Abdul-el-Rashid. Then I called up Mincho Karageorgefl, still a military attache of the Bulgarian Embassy, and asked if he would not like to have supper with us and sit at our seance. He said he had already planned to come before I had called, and he felt that the spirits had something to do with this for he had a strange desire to see me. Immediately after demivtasse was served, we sat at the little round table, where after a few words of prayer, my wife fell into a trance, turned her head ' slightly to me and began: In the name of the powerful Allah and his faithful Prophet, Mohammed, I come, the spirit of Abdul-eleRashid. Peace be unto you. For some time, good woman, I have wished to tell you what became of your hus- bands classmates, and I am glad to see Mincho here also. I labored long in order to make him come, and I am glad he is here. Now I shall tell you what became of each one of his classmates and what they are doing at this very min- ' ute.

E., 20 x W? 5 WE ride on the overland trains across the great desert stretches K t i -'?1 of the Far West we see occasional green spots amidst a riot of rich tints. There our glances linger with a sense of rest, for these green spots are desert farmSefresh cases, where under the spell of water, the soil is awakening from its centuries of slumber and is yielding up its stored wealth. We recall the song of the poet that a vein of romance runs through every form of human endeavor and that no life is so sordid, so prosaic, so wretched, but that it has sometime felt its gladsome touch. In the desert this vein of romance finds its chief essentials in courage, adventure, self-sacrifice, and daring. Here in these desert farms Man has been writing a compelling history upon the face of the dusty earth, for irrigae tion, with Midas,s touch, has changed the deserts frown into smiling vistas of verdure. Its solemn silence has been broken by the voices of countless happy people. It tells the story of Man,s return to the earth, and we realize that lllt is a grander achievement to expand the domain of civilization by water than by blood. Again we find ourselves traveling over miles and miles of excellent high- ways, gliding along as easily as though we were lazily reclining in a Pullman on one of the great limited trains. We pass innumerable swiftly moving trucks, passenger motor cars, and vehicles of every description, all traveling from place to place in comparative safety, for all of the highways are marked with danger signals, distance- and direction-markers, and every modern cone venience for facilitating travel. Now and then we pass through great cities, traveling always on these same excellent highways, whether they are of mac- adam, stone, asphalt, concrete or any of the numerous materials that form the good roadways of today. It is truly a twentieth-century marvel, this modern convenience of travel. Perhaps, now, we find ourselves in one of the great steel mills, watching long ingots plunge back and forth through the rolls in the rolling mill. Every time one of these ingots goes through between these mighty rolls we notice that it becomes longer and thinner, until at last it begins to look like a Haming red worm attempting to escape. It writhes and springs savagely at the rolls amid a shower of sparks, only a second later to be switched to another track, where again it springs away as if to escape its tormentors. But suddenly it is stopped. Two buzzing saws cut off its flaming ends amid a blaze of fireworks and a sudden shriek. It is then gripped by mighty steel hooks and Hung through a cold rolling-machine, where its surface is hardened. All that now remains to be done is to straighten it and drill holes in its ends, and behold, we have a finished rail before us. Its agony is over. Not a human hand has touched it since it entered the mill. This workshop is truly a marvelous place. It, too, seems to be invested with a spirit of romance. And this great industry One hundred one W Wu ::Af9.z;5 THE RECORD .1950 that provides us with steel rails, and steel trains to run upon them, steep ships, steel-framed skyscrapers, and implements in endless number, is a latteruclay miracle, quite as captivating as any episode out of the Arabian Nights. It in- spires us with a species of awe akin to that which one feels in the presence of the Parthenon, or the Pyramid of Cheops, or a Gothic cathedral. I And so, wherever we go, we see new and startling changes being enacted upon old Mother Earth. It all seems too stupendous to grasp. Huge sky- scrapers are being erected; colossal bridges are being constructed; and mighty , ships are being launched. Today densely populated cities, possessing almost unbelievable conveniences, stand where but a few score of years previous, it was thought that the extremity of our frontier had been reached. Beyond that thin line of civilization dwelt the Indians and prowling beasts of the great unknown wilderness. But at this present age there seems to be no frontier. It is a thing of the past. Apparently the maximum of construction has been reached, and still Man is pushing on and on. It seems as if some invisible being, some unseen power, some incomprehensible force has been instrumental in the accomplishment of these prodigious achievements. But it has not been the zealous act of a spontaneous genius. It is the. result of years of labor, hardship, sacrihce, and perseverance, by a small body of men, hitherto 'unkownethe Engineers. The life of the Engineer has been, and always will be, one of service and sacrifice. His influence has been felt on every part of the globe. He has been building and building with a H crew lean zeal. He is now afhliating with his feHOWyworkmen, bringing together' social service and welfare work, all for industrial efficiency and grander achievement. May his trust of building which he has assumed be rewarded by that highest commendation, Well done, thou good and faithful servant? Behold, he is coming into his own, embodying the modern conception of the Professional Engineer. Endowed as the creator of machines and the magical interpreter of their human significance, he is well qualified to increase the material rewards of human labor, and to organize industry for the more intelli- gent development of Man?

W...-..A s Q! l I i 3 l .4 E 1? i THE LAW DEPARTMENT 'fjHE Department of Law was instituted in 1879 under the name '1 Northern Indiana Law School, by the Hon. Mark L. DeMotte, who was for some years a member of Congress. From the first the school prospered under his leadership as Dean, and under the teaching of him and his associates in the faculty. During this period the relation of the school to the University was close, but semiein- dependent. The textebook method and the plan, then in vogue, of presenting one subject at a time to each of the two classes, was followed. The standard of admission was low, but the faculty and student body were filled with the spirit of work. A very large per cent of the graduates have become successful practitioners and scores have served as governors and members of the supreme courts of their states, and as senators and representatives in Congress. In 1907 the school became in the full sense a department of the University. Under the present management the law building has been remodeled, the library much en- larged, the requirements for admission gradually raised, the case method adopted, and the curriculum greatly enriched by the addition of many subjects of instruction. F or some years the attendance has been larger than that of any other law school in Indiana. Finally, in 1917, the course of study was raised to three years. Thus, this department is in better position than ever before for carrying out its great role in the educational world. One hundred five W ROBERT I.

One hundred nine W ' ON THE ECONOMIC SITUATION HE war against German autocracy, against threatened invasion of ' foreign tyranny, against despotism, against militarism, was won; but, at a great sacrifice. Now we are on the verge of an impending revolution, the in- evitable consequence of the existing economic system. Ever since the first day that man can recollect, there has been a constant wage and strife for supremacy. ' With the progress of civilization from barbarism and savagery to its present state, the methods resorted to for the attainment of superiority and power, under the guise of legitimate pursuit of comfort and happiness, have varied with the perpetual change of political conditions. The ancient slave was bound to all the wishes of his master, who dom- inated the tribe. The serf, a modified form of a slave, was bound to the soil, had fixed domestic relations determined by his lord, and was privileged to par ticipate in the religious life of society. His circumstances, as well as the opine ions and sentiments of the time, inclined his tendency toward liberation. Out of liberation arose the first lineaments of the hierarchal constituv tion of modern industry, which characterizes our epoch. People are seeking to strengthen themselves by forming alliances, arrayed on the one side or the other of this great political question, eaching having his views antagonistic to the others, his economic interests in opposition, and his theories in conflict. The market in a tumult, with the laborers of the country seeking em ployment, striving to achieve their natural right of enjoyment as they can best acquire it by their labors, together with the demand for higher wages to meet with the increased cost of living, on the one hand; on the other, capital, consol- idated to the exclusion of trade competition, and its replacement by monopoly, with the means of production in the hands of a few, its natural traits and ten- dencies to control and adjust values and prices to its own standard. In an effort to keep pace with the evereascending prices of commodities of popular demand, the working classes have associated themselves into unions, a union for every trade, but all to a common purposeestriking for more pay and for shorter working hours. The employer is not meeting these unreasonable demands with contempt, nor with the attitude of resistance, but is tactfully complying with the wishes of the unions, throwing the additional expense into the lloverheadh for the cost of production, and placing a corresponding proportionate increase on the mar ket price of his product-and saying nothing in defense of his conduct. Why? Because his channels are limited. Because the press, the news- papers which would mould public sentiment, are controlled, either directly or indirectly, by politics and politicians who fear the overwhelming preponder- ance of the union vote, which is cast according to the dictates of union labor i leaders and strike agitators whose selfish motives and influence over employees are stimulated and maintained by their numerous unavailing promises. Their One hundred ten W linga'zo THE RECORD We n.3, WW-o editorial comments and news columns are so framed as most strongly to appeal to the masses. Some of this is true, some exaggerated nonsense, but the whole truth is never published in any one issue. We hear one side, but are too busy with our own affairs to investigate the truth of the other. N evertheless, we per- mit our sympathies to be ruled by error. Much of this is due to a large extent to the fact that labor is so much more efficiently organized in this country than is capital. On the average, dozens represent labor interests in every issue, to one on the side of capital, with the result that they score a triumph through their agency, and with the ultimate effect that they suffer the most. Their theories of equalizing the wage scale and permitting none but union members to work together is impracticable, is nothing less than the manifestation of their dominating spirit, which encumbers the manufacturer in the progress of his work. The reaction is bound to come, and the consuming public has to bear the burden. The people will eventually awaken to a full appreciation of the fact, the glaring fact, that the Vigorous offensive of labor gains no permanent glory. They may triumph temporarily until the position is again reversed. Something must be done to stabilize these conditions. And with the conn stantly expanding markets, the rapidly growing industries, the general pros- perity of the country, what is necessary and most desired is cooperation between labor and commerce, mutual understanding, and the establishment of harmony and conciliation. Men are equal in the sense that they have the same rights; but correspond- ing to those rights are certain obligations. To accept those rights and deny the duty is to discourage, rather than encourage and promote, thrift and industry. Are you educated American patriots who have a stake here in America, you American citizens of experience and learning, willing to submit your standard on a par with the alien Bolsheviki, who are composed mostly of the illiterate type, and usually identified with the lawless, Violent spirit of anarchy? But we have opened our gates to them who wanted to migrate to the land i of the free; they came upon our invitation and now compose a large part of our population. The country owes a duty to her eitizens-Americans firsteand that duty devolves upon the controlling element, the lawyer, the business man, and the political leaders of the country. Just as our forefathers came here before us and founded a new nation, we must adopt these immigrants, teach them American ideals and make good American citizens out of them. We must teach them to honor and respect Old Glory, that great Hag, the emblem of true democracy, the Hag that represents freedom, the Hag that represents the ten messages of thunder de- livered at Mt. Sinai, the philosophy of Socrates preached at the City of the Violet Crown, the pandects of Justinian, and the teachings of our great Savior of mankind.

One hundred twelve W lfvaEZ'O'f THE RECORD 1920B CLASS HISTORY k ROM all four corners of the globe we came to meet here, at this ' great institution of learning, to acquire knowledge of the rules of civil conduct, the pandects of Justinian, and the principles of the common law, which we treasure as our most precious possessions. Scarcely had the class been organized, in the early F all of I917, when we were informed that what was worth getting was worth work- ing for, and that it was beyond human possibility to expend too much time and effort to attain that knowledge which the dictates of our ambitions had led us to choose as the field of our profession. It became necessary that we invest a certain small sum of money in a number of bound volumes of the depository 0f the law-books, which we were enabled to do by first making the acquaintance of a certain prominent gene tleman with a highly inHated pneumatic abdomen. This man,s business is to deal in such things as books, and in consideration thereof, to extract from our safetyvpatent pocketebook, a certain small denomination of the accepted medium of wealth, say, approximately fifty United States dollars, in pay- ment for his kindness. There we learned the hrst principles of financial suc- cess. One step toward our goal. We then proceeded to memorize the fundamental basic principles of ele- mentary law and to juxtapose them with the prevailing modern rules or apply them to assigned hypothetical cases. Upon exhibiting signs of hu- man intelligence we were imposed upon with the extra duty of analyzing de- cided cases specially selected in sympathy with its subject matter for that purpose, and to report daily in the lower class room of the Law Building, and then and there, expound the law. It was certainly amazing to find so much variance in the interpretations of the law, some inconsistent, some r,epugnant others making close distinc- tions indulged 1n such technical niceties as are only familiar after years of experience. But how can you take offense at fair and impartial criticism and correction, or at being showed the modus operandi of legal principles? .1 We soon found some of our classmates becoming discouraged, and disappointed, others amused and interested, and a few indifferent with a sort of catch-aSacatchacan attitude. We exhausted every means conceivable in an effort to get set right. We sought the aid and advice of our honorable upper-classmen, but to little avail. Just then we were in the midst of a world,s disturbance, in that grave and august hour of national distress, when our country waged war against tyrannical despotism. Moved by the spirit of patriotism, loyalty, and of divine compassion for humanity, a majority of our male number left the class-room in order to join the ranks of American heroes. The class dwine dled in numbers until it had almost reached its vanishing point. ttHarmony, Industry and Determination was our class motto, ande we stood the acid test! One hundred thirteen W WEEWLK 20 THE R .W.-.A Scarcely had a few weeks passed when we began to feel the pressing weight of the political yoke urging a factional split. The political germ had wedged in its way, and through the coercion, persuasion, and the many forcible speeches employed by those who aspired to the honor of leading the class, andetheir competitors, we found ourselves drifting with the tide of fate. Much oratorical extravagance was displayed in their campaign for support, and many a freeeforeall battle ensued. But lawyers were lawyers, irrespective of political sentiment, or of what had passed, and when the call hlawyersh was sounded, a speedy response could always be depended upon, whether at midnight, morning, noon or evening. Departmental Clash, class rush, settlement of factional differences, or haZ' ing parties meant the same to us. Otherwise, resistance played a minor part in our life. . - t One hundred fourteen W1 Fugabgfzo THE: RzEC: ownnnme ON THE HIGH SEAS HE season in the Juvenile Court at Los Angeles, California, had ' ' been a busy one, and I, feeling the need of a complete change of climate, scenery, and general surroundings, decided to embark for the Hawaiian Islands for my vacation. But a few minutes had elapsed since the boat pulled away from the docks at San Francisco, leaving behind at the end of her wake the land which, as we sped on, gradually disappeared beneath the horizon. We were in mid-ocean when the sun began to set, its crimson rays reHecting a path of gold on the languid waters of the deep blue sea, with occasional recesses in the lazy Waves of the Pacific which rolled and beat against the sides of the boat. I had drawn my steamer rug closer about me, and settled down to enjoy the refreshing breeze, when a portly gentleman with a somewhat majestic walk, approached me, extending his hand and inquiring, iiIsn,t this Laura Ida Griffin? Yes? I answered, and at a glance recognized the clean cut features of Mr. Cook, my old time friend and classmate at Valparaiso. There he stood, a monument of good nature and prosperity. Of course, I first inquired about his achievements since leaving the dear old school, and whether he had kept in touch with the other boys of the class of 1920. He had much to say about law. Grum had married happily after posing as a woman-hater for years, and had located in Iowa where his great legal ability had won him fame. He is now an aspirant for the office of governor of the state, and as a can- didate on the Democratic ticket for this most honored position, his great pope ularity, his ability, and his genuine sincerity, justify him in hoping for success. Diefenderfer had returned to Montana and become an authority on Mining Laws. He had produced several creditable works on this new sub ject, and had completely outrivaled his innumerable predecessors who have stood foremost as living oracles of the law. His great accumulation of knowledge and wisdom won for him the honor of being called upon by the Supreme Court of the United States to render a legal opinion on the cone stitutionality of the Bone Dry Laws, which he gracefully exploded with but'Iittle effort. In speaking of himself Cook was extremely modest, but I gleaned from his closely guarded conversation, that he was the Chief Legal Advisor of the Hawaiian Sugar Company, with offices at New York, Chicago, San Francisco and Honolulu. He had been on one of his business trips, and was on his way back home when I met him. And it was a great comfort to be under the guidance of one so well acquainted with the islands, but it was not until we landed in Hawaii that I fully realized the enormous pres- tige of his position and the loyalty felt for him by those islanders. Gratifying, indeed, it is to know that the V. U. Law Class of 1920 had made up in quality for what they had lacked in quantity.

The Club members have be come popular on the Hill among the various organizations, because of their willingt cooperation in serving at functions of all kinds, with that efficiency Characteristic of the Home Economics girls. They have served The Fae ulty Club a series of banquets, one of which is pictured on the opposits page. In short we can modestly say that our organization is one of the chief social factors of the University. One hundred twenty-one W xwxx QNX ; A y RS' wk . 45 20 THE RECORD 19 k: ROLLO A. TALLCOTT, A. M., Dean of the School of Public Speaking 5.20: THE RECORD 5950 PUBLIC SPEAKING IN THE MODERN UNIVERSITY . HE. tendency of the modern university to make its curriculum of l more practical application to the actual problems of life, is 110' where more apparent than in the development of its Public Speake ing Department. The oldestyle llelocutionh too often consisted largely of verbosity and affectation. It is now being supplanted by a course of training in public speaking which supplies a real need of men and women of all professions. The object of this training is not only to make professional speakers, but even more, it aims to supplement the teachings of other departments of the University. A class in public speaking may, or may not, produce orators. It is certain to send out engineers, lawyers, doctors, and other professional men who can deliver their various messages effectively. Public speaking as taught in the modern university recognizes as its first principle that llright speaking depends upon right thinking? The student is taught that before he steps upon the platform he must have something worth saying. Moreover, he is taught that, in order to make his message worth while, he must arrange and word it clearly, correctly, and effectively. The study in this department is much more a study of how to think than of mere platform technique. This work necessitates a practical application of the prin- ciples of logic, psychology, science, sociology, and English. How can a stu- dent better learn the real significance of logic than through having his own argument shattered by the reasoning of an opposing debater; how better learn the application of psychology than by striving to move the intellects and symv pathies of judges and audiences; how better master the English language than by constant use of it before a critical class and instructor? Probably no other department in the University offers the student a better opportunity to gain a true sense of proportion. And, what is one of the most important things that any university can teach, he must learn to respect the opinions of others. A platform training, as given in the modern university, can hardly fail to make a student a more sober and a saner thinker. A college course in public speaking has some worth-while characteristics commonly thought of as belonging almost exclusively to athletics. Football has an important place in college life even aside from the Value of its physical training. A well-playecl game has a positive value to the student bodies and to the institutions represented. Portions of a public speaking training have all the elements of a game. A good debate is a game, an intensely interesting game. It has all the spirit of friendly controversy and, like football, teaches its followers to lose well and win modestly. In the enthusiasm and school spirit aroused, intercollegiate debates rival athletics. A university cannot bet ter advertise itself than by producing an able intercollegiate debating team. Although the Public Speaking Department draws the majoritv of its students from those who wish to increase their efficiency in other professions, yet this department does turn out a considerable number of speakers of pro- fesional calibre. The demand for good speakers is greater today than it had One hundred twenty-five W1 ??...Jmfai THE RECORD gogs been for many years prior to the war, for that struggle demonstrated the prao ticality of public speaking when a corps of trained speakers carried the mes- sages of the government to the people as no newspaper could have done. And every great cause, such as prohibition or woman suffrage, owes a large part of its success to public speakers. No department has its results tested more immediately and publicly than that of Public Speaking. Its very nature places it in the center of criticism. In some departments it may at times be possible for a student to bluff, to pre- tend to accomplish more than is actually the case. But in public speaking the one test is actual performance under conditions of reality. This guarantees the absolute practicality of the training. In this generation, when the tendency is to require of all institutions of learning a high standard in practical education, public speaking is coming to its own. More and more it finds its place in the curriculum of universities. One hundred twenty-six WP KZOTHER 'LULA AGNES HENDERsON, B. 0., Dierks, Ark.

One hundred thirty W CLASS HISTORY ALMA ROSE CURTIS L. HE HISTORY of the Class of 1920 practically begins with the history of our new class-room, Thespian Hall. The war intere fered with our work in such a manner that none of our gradu- ates have been in the department three years in succession. We were astonished and delighted upon our return last Fall to find flour old room, Crescent Hall, united with Starr Hall and made over into a .miniature theatre, with office, dressing-rooms, stage equipment, etc. This, pery ixhaps, has been one of the big factors in producing the good work accomplished .ihis year. Our department grew rapidly with the increased attendance at the :University and our classes were enlarged by the enrollment of many students i om other departments. Our class itself is a study in character, since we have come from widely .,5eparated localities. Jack Pierce hails from the Golden Colorado and is typie gal of the western generosity, progressiveness and ability. He can debate, imw personate, or deliver an oration with equal Vigor. He possesses a talent for miusiness and expects to study Law. 7 Like a brisk breeze from the sunny Southland, Patti Brooks blew into our u partment last F all and announced her intention of taking elocution. Patti Forms from iiAkansas, and is planning to do lyceum work. Her pleasant .; v. ile and pleasing personality assure her a welcome anywhere. Lula Henderson was a valuable addition to our class this year. Eduw 7ted in the schools of her native state, West Virginia, and at Ouachita Cole e, Arkansas, she came to us in her senior year. She was elected our presi- t and has given much inspiration and enthusiasm to the class. The most innocent looking girl among us is Emogene McClendon, who 'ys that her home is in Texas, although she has never lived there. Emogene, spite of her big, solemn-looking eyes, is full of fun and enjoys good times much as anyone. She is a good reader and plans to do lyceum work this gear. 3 Jvivi-iaiwrg StiCk'tOVithCneSS and hard work are always valuable assets, and we aCe ' 'red both of them when Vera Coldstick came to Valparaiso from Bellaire, .. chigan, to join our ranks. F or two successive years Vera has been forced 'iiy influenza and scarlet fever to miss the Winter Term of school, but she ale Shays came back smiling. Vera is one of our star readers and we expect to great things of her some day. Evelyn Cieldseth is the most sisterly girl imaginable, from Cedarville, III- 'iuaois. She played the part of Petunia in Professor Pep, and has the care rarks of a great actress. But for the weakness of having big brothers,', .--velyn has few faults. She is kind, hard-working, and patient, and makes 'i ends with all she meets. One hundred thirty-one W ' ITQ-gfszo . THE RECORD 1930 Alma Curtis is one of Valparaisois natives and has been a devout mem- ber of the department. She studies hard, always acts nchildish and dreads the time when she will be too old to go to school. Kathryn Osgood is another of our southern sunbeams. F ull of life, jolly and fun-loving, she has taken a big place in our hearts. She is especially good in acting and pantomime, and is assured a successful future. Neil Smith is also a Hoosier and comes from Lowell. Neil possesses a great deal of talent and is perhaps the most interested in his work. He played principal parts in both our plays and intends to make acting his profession. We expect to hear great things of him and to be proud to boast that he, also, was a member of the Class of 1920. And there,s Hazel Deaton, uthe fairest maiden of us all,H who claims Silver Lake, Indiana, as her home. Hazel possesses a wealth of golden curls, which always makes her adorable whether she is playing the part of a yellow- headed little girl or a gay young widow. Her naive simplicity wins the hearts of everyone who knows her. , All during the year the class has been busy giving entertainments and doing experience work. After weeks of grinding rehearsals we sUccessfully produced iiProfessor Pep,, and 0, To Be Ernest in one of the down- town theatres. Members of the class have gone to the Cary Y. M. C. A. on week-ends and given an evenings entertainment of readings or little plays, such as The Happy Pair, The Independent Pair and The Marble Arch. Other members of the class have given entertainments at Knox. Lowell, Crown Point, and Lakeville, Indiana. We cannot give too much praise to Professor Tallcott, who for three years has so patiently and kindlyguided us through our work in Expression. By his hard labor in our behalf, his patience, kindness, and his eagerness to advise and help, he has endeared himself to all. We leave behind us the sincere hope that future students of Valparaiso University may gain even greater lessons from his teachings than did the Class of 1920. One hundred thirty- two W CLASS PROPHECY LULA HENDERSON ; I SAY unto you, Students of Valparaiso University, it hath been given to me as the chosen one of this great and good people, the B. 0. Class of 1920, to dream strange dreams, and to see strange visions of the glories of the years yet to be. Listen, all ye B. 0. Students, to the words of wisdom from the lips of your prophetess who now speaketh unto you what hath been revealed unto her, even as it hath been determined by the powers that be. When it was decreed that the future of the B. 0. Class of 1920 was to be given into the hands of this, your prophetess, to do with even as she liked, she felt like crying out in the language of the old prophet, Who am I, that the future of this great and glorious Class should depend upon me? But behold! even as the feeling of weakness and despair came over your prophetess, a voice in the air spoke to her in the manner of the sacred book, uHear ye my words? I looked, and lo! near my side stood the lovely spirit of prophecy, the Angel of Things to Come, and she with her mystic touch rolled back the curtain of the dim beyond from before my prophetic vision, and permitted me to gaze at will down the long avenue of Things Yet to Be. As she drew back the cure tain, she slowly pointed down the avenues of the strange land, saying: Look! Listen! Prophesy unto the B. 0. Class of 1920. I, your prophetess of the Public Speaking Department of Valparaiso University, speak to you in the words of John the Revealer, Blessed be he that readeth and they that hear the words of this prophecy, and keep those things which are written therein; for the time is at hand? As I looked into the land of the future I saw many people, and many strange sights. At first they were indistinct, or blurred, but as I gazed, the curtain grew thinner and my Vision clearer, and soon I could see things, even as if the curtain of intervening years had been rent in twain. ' As I stood silently gazing upon the mystic future I began to think of my ClaSS of 1920, and as I looked into a great theatre in New York City, where the audience was being held spellbound by a beautiful blond actress, the lead- ing lady in the great play, I recognized the successful performer as none other than my own lovely classmate, Hazel Deaton. I looked again, and I could see among the society circles of that far- ol'i, distant time, among those who were most fair to look upon, among even those bright and dazzling four hundred, one whom, even as I gazed, I recognized as our ever-happy classmate, Kathryn Osgood. And it came to pass that I also looked into professional circles, and in a large office among many men of many minds sat a prosperous lawyer, the youth who in our college days had been learned in debate, Jack Pierce. One hundred thirty-three Wm saw nggmo THE RECORD 1 g: And also I happened to find myself gazing upon a great western city. I As I looked into the city hall, I saw that the mayor was speaking to the citi- zens upon an important topic of the clay. I was attracted by the deep, soft, musical tones of the speaker,s voice, and I came nearer. Imagine my surprise when I recognized the mayor of that great city as my own everysympathetic classmate, Emogene McClendon. And it came to pass while I pondered all these things in my heart, the door of a home swung open before my Vision, and I found therein a household made happy by a wife and mother who had found the greatest ambition in the highest of all worldly vocations-the maker and keeper of the home. How surprised I was to behold my gentle and loving classmate, Alma R. Curtis. And even as I watched the home lights die away, sweet strains of music held my soul entranced by the beauty and perfection of their harmonies and I looked to know whence they came. Behold, I did find even as the queen of the world,s music, the same one who had furnished music for the Public Speak- ingr Department, our own darkeeyed Susan Dunlap. And behold, a change came over the spirit of my dream. After the en- trancing music I felt in my heart a strange and longing desire to see my old friends, Patti Brooks and Vera Coldstick, the only members of my class that I failed to find in the strange time. Before my wish could pass, I was suddenly conducted to a bacheloregirl apartment in a large foreign city, where the two sat by a huge fireplace, talking of the past. In listening to their conversation I learned that Vera by honest work and faithfulness to duty had reached her highest ambition; she was rec- ognized as the greatest actress in America, and was now spending a vacation in the foreign city with Patti, who was a noted reader of the lyceum stage, both in America and in Europe. My heart was stirred within me as I saw the vacant chair and noted the anxious glances of those bachelor classmates who waited for the coming of their prophetess to complete the charmed circle. Suddenly the veil was drawn over my eyes, shutting out the Things to Be, and I turned my eyes toward Things that Are, sure that, as Coming events cast their shadows before? only goodness and truth and prosperity shall follow all the clays that are to come to the fair and talented members of the B. 0..

There is a course for the grade and high school teachers, a course for the teachers who are specializing in art, and more advanced courses for those who are studying art for art,s sake. The teach- ers, course starts with the kindergarten work and trains for each of the grades, showing the teachers how to plan and arrange the work so that the pupils may acquire the most skill and benefit, and learn to appreciate good art. Those who are specializing in art go still deeper into the study. Their work includes, besides the above-mentioned courses, one in design, drawing, painting from still life, and cast work. During the summer months there is a class for outaof-door sketching. This is one of the most prominent and in- teresting features of the whole year. The class paints and sketches the fae miliar scenes about Valparaiso; and who among you would not rather have a painting than a photograph of the place where the best days of your life were spent? The class in china painting has made great progress this winter. The members all have become skilled artists and have painted many fine pieces. One hundred thirty-seven ' W :20 THE RECORD 19 2:; 19 0RD C E R ALPHA EPSILON HE name, Alpha Epsilon, marks the origin of fraternities in Valparaiso University. Back in llye olden times,,, when the very name fraternity was regarded with a suspicious, weird, and uncanny awe, the A. E. was Hourishing in a secret abode, and was as energetic and ardent in its fraternal sphere as is character- istic of it today. With firm determination and sincere devotion it lived through withose tempestuous periods when all about it was hostility. Dr. C. M. Cahill, of Chicago, a man whose hair is now gray, was the founder of the Alpha Epsilon Fraternity eighteen years ago. His patient zeal , and tactful ardor for the expanding and penetrating inHuence of the local welv fare of the organization has been continuous. His indomitable trust and una parallelled perseverance were rewarded in the official recognition of the fra- ternity last year, when President H. K. Brown attended the annual alumni fraternity banquet. Here both gentlemen gave toasts that have been placed in ithe archives of A. E. historyyanol the Alpha Epsilon fraternity won.a mOe t'mentous race with the hitherto universal animosity and adversity on the Hill. Space does not permit an extended perspective of the panorama of A. E. development. Suffice it to say that the criterion of the organization has been symbolical of that undaunted spiritof fraternal good-fellowship and genuine fidelity for the welfare of brothers. Every alumnus writes of his peerless trust and ardent enthusiasm for the perpetuation of the conservative standards t for which the organization has stood, and we may add that in their eighteen years of existence A. E. Alumni are represented in practically every spot on the globe. There has been no depreciation of admiration, or alienation toward the fraternity among the present brothers. Their lot, although not as diffi- cult as the one years ago, has been picturesque. The halcyon days of utter Lrsecrecy are no longer an hypothesis on the campus, and today we see A. E. men prominent in all student activities, and A. E. life manifesting those elements that are instrumental in the whole educational development of a students cola ' lege life.

PHI DELTA PSI X1 OMEGA HE Xi Omega Chapter of the Phi Delta Psi was organized in 1909, when a number of men who realized the benefits to be obtained from a fraternity, bound themselves together as Brothers. Other students who were prominent in scholastic and social ac- tivities, were taken into the organization, and today one will find its Alumni Brothers in every part of the world, as leaders in their individual professions. In 1918, when fraternities were recognized by the University authorities, and it became the duty of those which were old and tried to take a leading part in the various activities, Phi Delta Psi, one of the oldest and strongest, was ready to do its share. The members have been, and are, prominent in all the student activities. Some hold important positions in the various assol ciations of the University; others have shown their prowess in athletics; and still others are known as students of the first quality. They also number among their Brothers, as honorary members, professors and business men who are prominent in University activities. The athletic ability of this organization is shown by the fact that nine out of seventeen football letteramen, two of whom were selected as All-State men, and eight out of nine basketball letteramen were members of the Phi Delta Psi Fraternity. As Student Athletic Manager it has liDad Elliot, and as Assistant Athletic Manager and as Athletic Editor of the Torch,, there is W. J. Brennan. Many of the men who won the admiration of the student body on the gridiron and the basketball floor will be seen in action on the diamond and track this Spring. Others have been, and will be, seen gain- ing laurels intboxing and wrestling, and on the tennis courts. They had always been planning to have a place on WThe Hilln which they could call the home of the Phi Delta Psi. These plans and dreams were first realized as a fact when the Boyer property on College Avenue was rented and occupied. This, however, proved to be merely a stepping-stone to a fuller realization of the plans and hopes of former years; for hardly were they settled in this place when negotiations were commenced for obtaining a larger and more imposing house. These plans bore fruit, and the beginning of the Spring Term found them in possession of mlqhe Castle , at the corner of Garfield and Linwood Avenues. This is an ideal location for a Fraternity House, and all those who are connected with it can point to this place with pride and call it ilThe Home of the Phi Delta Psi Fraternity . The rooms are all comfortably furnished and the large reception chambers are ideal for entertaining. Phi Delta Psi has made its inHuence and worth felt since its recognition, and unquestionably it will always be looked upon as one of the leading fra- ternities of The Hillh.

Beginning with eleven charter members, the fraternity has grown to be a power for good in the social life of the College. One hundred per cent loyal to Valpo, Eta Beta Pi has supported athletics wholeeheartedly. Every member is a booster for his school. The first social event held by the fraternity was a marshmallow roast tNovember l5, 1919i . A fine program of reading was enjoyed around the campfire, while the marshmallows were roasting. The evening was a great success. On November twenty-fifth, the first fraternity banquet was held in the dining room at Domestic Science Hall. Twenty plates were laid and a talk was given by every person present. Registrar Morland gave a fine speech, as did Deans Winkler and Tallcott, and Father Mungovan. A telegram from President Brown expressing regret at his unavoidable absence was read by the toastmaster. The second social success of Eta Beta Pi had been scored. January second, nineteen-twenty, the fraternity held its iifirst informal danc- ing party at Altruria Hall, which was beautifully decorated in the society,s colors, blue and white. The fireplace was banked with streamers and the fra- ternity letters. In the center of the room a great sprig of mistletoe reminded the dancers of the season. The music was excellent. The punch, dreamy waltzesM- everything contributed to the enjoyment of the party. At midnight refresh- ments were served, and a half-hour later the strains of iiHome, Sweet Homeh ended the third triumph in the way of social events. Next came the sleighride. Bundled in blankets from head to foot, everyone cuddled down in the sleighs and defied the zero night. Songs and stories featured the ride. All were happy. At Chesterton the crowd raided a little lunchroorn and stripped it of everything which looked, tasted, or was suspected of being, edible. Then came the ride home, with the heavens fairly echoing the laughter and song. Smokers have been held at regular intervals during the winter. The fray ternity spirit has been strong at all times among the members. We have lost a few active brothers because of their leaving school, but new men have filled the gap, and our number has not been lessened. This has been our first year at Valpo. We are proud of our record of Clean social activities. One hundred forty-nine W E-Jtsg. THE RECORD 9th.

All were more or less opposed to forming a local organization, but that seemed to be the only thing to do. However, one of the group, being a passive member of the Theta Chapter of the Kappa Delta Pi, suggested that they organize a local fraternity and petition the Kappa Delta Pi to install a Chapter. With this in view, the Omricon Phi Theta Fraternity was organized, and a petition was sent to the Kappa Delta Pi. Long months passed and even the more optimistic members of the organization began to lose courage. Nevertheless, there was sufficient 7, evidence of long perseverance. The first petition might. be lost, but that little group of determined men would not be defeated. They were in the fight to win. Then the unexpected happened. A slightly favorable letter was received from the Kappa Delta Pi, and the slowly dying Hame of expectancy was re newed, only to die down as time passed by. By the middle of March, low ebb was reached, and it looked as though the Omicron Phi Theta had failed in its attempt. It was just a calm before a storm, for right in the midst of this situation the Omicron Phi Theta received notice of the acceptance of its petie tion by the Kappa Delta Pi. One week from the date the notice of accepte ance was received, an initiating team under the direction of the Theta Chapter of the Kappa Delta Pi arrived in Valparaiso. Within the next twentyefour hours the Xi Chapter of the Kappa Delta Pi Fraternity was formed from the members of the Omicron Phi Theta. The baby chapter has entered upon active operations with the idea of becoming a valuable asset to the Kappa Delta Pi Fraternity. The aim of the Xi Chapter is to be everything that an organization of its kind should be for the advancement of the institution within whose walls it operates.

The Sorority was in turn entertained at a dinner dance by the Phi Delta Psi. None of the members were in school in the fall of 1918. In the summer of I919 several of the girls returned, and old activities were resumed. There was a picnic at Sager,sr for the Phi Delta Psi, and a masquerade lawn party for the Alpha Epsilon. And the Phi Delta Psi gave a return party. The Sorority showed its loyalty to the school by a generous pledge td the Womenk Building Fund. During the year of ,19320 the Sorority entertained at a sleigh-ride and dance the Phi Delta Psi. They were entertained by the Alpha Epsilon at a theatre party and spread; A series of Saturday afternoon dances were given, which weer a new thing to Valparaiso, and very delightful. ' The Sorority has secured club rooms where the members may spend idle hours during the afternoon, resting or Visiting. Here it plans to give receptions for the girls of the University, and it hopes to broaden its influence and friendships. One hundred fifty-m'ne W I620: THE RECORD ,lshbT-JZ.

In planning its yearly pro gramme it has always held the welfare of the Alma Mater uppermost and has tried to plan activities which would be a benefit not only to the members of the sorority but to the student body at large. The dance at the gymnasium on August 2, 1919, given by the Sigma Theta Sororityxfor the benefit of the Womank Building Fund was a sue: cess both socially and financially. Everyone present pronounced it one of the best dances of the term, and the fund for the Womank Building was greatly increased. v On November 25, 1919, the students of the University were given an unusual treat at chapel. Doctor Hesteo Jenkins, a professor in the Constane tinople College for Women, gave an interesting and instructive talk on the work that is being done for the education of the women of the Near East. Dr. Jenkins made arrangements with the Sigma Theta Sorority to carry on a drive for funds for the College, which netted $1 19.25. On February 6, 1920, a Valentine dance for all the fraternities and sororities of the University was given at the gymnasium. . This was the first union of the GreekeLetter Societies, and everyone present considered it a marked success. It was under the auspices of the Sigma Theta Sorority that Miss Helen Bennett, chairman of the Illinois Womenk G. O. P. Organization gave a lecture in chapel.

Loy Kathleen Hodges : URING the twenty years preceding our entry into the World War, Valparaiso University boasted of many social organiza- tions within her walls; yet of all these, one, and one alone, stood out preeeminentethe Southern Society, made up of students coming from south of the Mason and Dixon Line. But the war brought a total collapse of every student activity. A tottering skeleton of the old Southern Society was resurrected during the summer term of 1919, but the leaders had been unable to place it upon a sound basis that would gain popular support. These gentlemen swept aside in their flrst political conflict withthe old students, on October 29, 19l9, and realizing that substantial control had forever slipped from them, in desperation grasped at the shadow by obtaining a charter from the Secretary of State, with themselves of officers. The true-blooded Southerners, nevertheless, de termined to have an organization thoroughly representative and free from all taint of low college politics, and acting upon this resolution, organized and adopted the name of The Dixie Sociey, which ultimately came to embrace 9070 of all students from the South. The old Society was no more. At the uDixie Banquet,, of December 5, 1919, in the parlors of the Methodist Church, they achieved a notable success. Among the elite two hundred and twenty present at the delightful occasion were Deans Williams, Powell and Winkler, who made excellent after-dinner speeches at what was pronounced the finest affair of the kind ever attempted in Valparaiso. Then at the Armory, on February 27th, 1920, came the Dixie Ball,,, which was widely acclaimed the best social event during the winter term. From nine dclock until one in the morning joy reigned supreme among the two hundred merryemakers gathered in that beautiful Hall. On the fifteenth of May the Society, two hundred strong, made an CXV cursion to Flint Lake, where they opened the season by a combined picnic and dance lasting all the afternoon and up until the hour of midnight. It was the gayest day Flint Lake has seen in many a year. Meanwhile occurred the greatest event in the life of the Society. On April 9, the Hon. Chas. H. Brough, Governor of Arkansas, and one of the dominant political figures of the South, accepted the Dixie invitation to make a special trip North to Visit and deliver an address before the townfolk and students on Americas Conquest of the World? For the greater part of the afternoon, all classes were out; the Auditorium was crowded as it has never been in late years; and the Hill was the center of suppressed enthusiasm and excitement as it welcomed the llMan From Arkansas?

How could it be dull for a moment, with a hundred and twenty active, lively and interesting college girls, all doing their utmost to crowd as much as possible into every hour of the day? Girls from the South here meet and learn to appreciate the charms of their sisters from the N orth. Girls from the East and West co-operate in planning the daily recreation in the reception room, and all join in the general discussions of work and play. On the whole it is a most busy and happy family. The organization of the House is effective and sufficiently flexible to be easily administered. There are two committees who have charge. The House Committee, which looks after the general comfort and well-being of all, and handles all matters of discipline except those which are serious enough to be passed on to the administrative oHicer of the University, is composed of six members. The chairman is named by the matron, and her position is the highest honor given by the Hall. She collects the house dues, and expends all money and directs the work of her committee, the members of which are elected by the residents. Only those who have lived at least one term in the Hall are eligible to serve on the two main committees. The chairman of the Social Committee is also named by the matron, and her position, too, is a gift of great honor. She with her committee, which is elected by the residents, directs the social affairs of the Hall. General enter- taining at the week ends and the special parties given once or twice each term are her particular care. These two committees work together and are rapidly moving towards a selfagovernment which is the goal of all college women. Every sorority and club has its representation here, so that it would be impossible to have a successful undertaking in any department of the University without the co-operation of the Altruria girls. In scholarship they rank very high. As office holders in every organiza- tion they are well represented, and as enthusiastic and loyal supporters of ath- letics they are unsurpassed. Yes, life at Valparaiso would indeed be dull without Altruria, and at the same time we can count upon the steady, loyal, uplifting, womanly quali- ties which are necessary to enrich life here or any place.

The Valparaiso Chapter was organized in 1916, 1 ;. x 51 and was granted a charter by the Board of Directors on April 8, 1918. A The Valparaiso Chapter is composed of engineering students who are regularly enrolled in the engineering course. A dance and banquet are usually given once a term. Lectures are given every two weeks by some of the count try,s foremost engineers. These lectures are on present-day engineering topics and are usually illustrated with slides and films, for the Chapter has recently purchased a movingapicture machine especially for lecture use. Through the efforts of Professor C. C. Brown, who is a member of the faculty and a certified member of this chapter, a library was opened in the Engineering Building. This library contains a large number of engineering books and magazines donated by Mr. Brown, and is free to all the stu- dents of the University. An enlarged picture of Professor Brown has been hung in the library by the Chapter, to show its appreciation of what he has d9ne for the Chapter and the engineers of the department. Recently, during a national campaign for membership, the increase of this Chapter was 8670. The total number of members for the Valparaiso Chapter is 61, and that for the entire Association is rapidly approaching the twenty thousand mark.

This was made possible by the arrival of our first Director of Physical Educa- tion, Dr. George E. Keogan. When he came upon the scene he was confronted by ob- stacles that would have made many a good man turn back, but he went at his task with a set determination that meant success. He had no field reaay upon which to stage his games, no athletic manager, no association, nothing but green material to work with. His first task was the selection of an Athletic Manager to assist him in his work. After much deliberation he chose Lawrence S. Elliott, better known as iiDad . Everyone who knows this gentleman will not doubt that it was a wise choice, for Elliott went at his work with a willingness that few could have equalled. Coach Keogan has faced many other difficulties, such as these, through- out the entire year, but he has met them all squarely and has overcome them. To him and the valiant men who have crowned our institution with success in its first year of athletics, is due the highest praice. Their names will always be retained in Valparaiso University,s H all of F ame. George E. Keogan,s phenomenal record for the past year at Valparaiso University is no exception to the successes he has attained during his ten years, coaching experience. Beginning as physical director at Charles City College he held the same position at Superior State College, St. Louis University, St. Thomas College and Allegheny College, whence he came to Valparaiso. During this period he has trained no less than half a dozen football teams, and the same number in baseball and basketball. Never yet has a season ended in which Keogan,s men have not made a percentage above 600. As a pioneer coach for Valparaiso, no better selection could have been made. This man,s excellent personality, his ability as a leader, and his happy faculty of putting a player where best suited have been highly instrumental in the University,s splendid success this season. The coach, who is an une Hinching advocate of straightforward sportsmanship, exhorts his men to play, not onlv hard and fast, but, above all, a clean and honest game. Through his labors the department of athletics has been placed on a satisfactory plane, and we feel confident in saying that within the span of another year, we believe Keogan will be lieutenant-general of one of the strongest football teams the Middle-West has ever seen. One hundred eighty-seven W 539 THE RECORD 9 b3. LAWRENCE S. ELLIOTT Student Athletic Manage? iiDadX, as he is known throughout Valpo, is rightly named. He has manifested his paternal spirit toward many a lonely boy and fair girl on their first trip to Valpo. He hails from New Alexandria, the section of Pennsylvania where the canaries sing bass. His pleasing personality and big heart win for him strong friends wherever he goes. In ml 7 he was a varsity basketball man. I919 found him ably' filling the position of Ath- letic Manager. His heavy school work and the pressing duties of management kept him from trying out with the teams. With the dawn of the l920 football and basketball seasons, however, he will be out working with the squad, and from present indications, we believe he will easily make the varsity team. Dad not only pays attention to ath- letics, but he is also a first-class Altruria man and a second Vernon Castle. His chief pastime is solving puzzles, and although he says it,s expensive, he enjoys the game. One hundred eighty-m'ne W i 'lrszjag THE RECORD .9 E . THOMAS DANDELET, Captain Dank happiest moments are when his face is covered with mud, and he is carrying the ball forward for Valpo. He played fullback on the squad during the entire season. The fans will long remember the way he ploughed through the opponents lines, and his play- ing had much to do with the success of Valpo's first season of football. He was chosen on the All-State Team last year, and we predict he will make the AllvAmerican Team within the next three years. DICK BRADLEY From the Air School of Physical Educa- tion, where he played varsity football, base- ball, and basketball, he came to Valpo in ,l9 to take up Manual Training. Bradley is an all-around athlete, and on the gridiron plays a whirlwind game. When he gets the ball he is sure to carry it forward for a gain. Al- though he had the misfortune to receive an injury early in the season, he came back strong during the latter part. We do not doubt he will prove a bulwark for Valpo,s next-year squad. One hundred nine ty KENNETH R. CONLEY llMoose,, played tackle on the squad, and his line work brought him a place on the All-State Team. Although he was unable to take part in the latter part of the season on account of injuries received at St. Louis, his neat manner of playing will always be re- membered. He will be with the squad again next year, and will do much to bring about the defeat of Harvard. RAY ADAMS Ray is an all-around athlete who holds a high record in taking forward passes and throwing the ball over the pan. He is a base- ball pitcher of the highest calibre, having easily bafHed Wisconsin. Ray attended St. Anthony High School, Idaho, and in l9l7 entered the University of Idaho. He took an important part in football, basketball, and baseball in both places. In 1919 he entered Valpo, and is working for an A. B. degree. He will prove himself a very valuable man both in scholastic and athletic affairs here.

In March he left to play hockey on the American team at the Olympic Games in Belgium. His early hockey experience with the St. Paul Amateur Athletic Club has won him an enviable record. Frank received his first training with the White Bear High School, where he starred in football, base- ball, and hockey. Valpo is ready to welcome him on his return to America. JOHN O. COOK John, who hails from Illinois, held down the position of left end on the football team in fine style. Although his winning ways make him very popular with the fair sex, we hope to see him still single when the sea- son opens next Fall. The splendid record he maintained during this, his initial season in football, makes us wonder what the future holds for him. One hundred m'ne ty-two WW RALPH KRIEBEL Dutch, as he is known, began his ath- letic career in the Perkiomen High School, where he played on the football team and ranked high on the broad jump.

He is a good-natured, open-hearted fellow, with but one weaknessegirls. Winter finds him in a corner in Altruria, and summer, at Sageris. EARL GOHEEN Earlyf, quiet and unassuming, is the vamp of the athletes. He received his pre- paratory training in White Bear High School and St. Thomas College, where he took a prominent part in athletics. He entered Val- paraiso niversity in I919 and took up Law. He was one of the most consistent players ever seen in action, and at all times his guarding was of the highest type.

Girs speedy work helped put Valpo high in the athletic world, and next year he ought to prove a mountain of strength on the squad. HARRY ALBE iiHarry, playing his first year of college football, was considered one of the best guards in the state. Possessing a powerful physique and a strong right arm for forward passes, he always played a hard game. That he enjoyed the game was evident from his peculiar laugh. Nothing pleased him better than to get into a suit and fight for old Valpo. After a year of steady, consistent service on the gridiron we know that Harry will be ready to hit them hard and low next fall. One hundred. nine ty-fqur W tszo THE RECORD I9 :3. ROSSMAN SAWYER A boy in years and a super-man in strength, can well be said of our big lineman, for somehow, notwithstanding his inexperi- ence as a football man, he certainly held the ground well on which he stood as right guard. i'Ross made a record hard to beat throughout the country. He was awarded a University football letter before he reached his eighteenth birthday; something which is very rare even in minor colleges. With an- other year behind him he will develop into one of the best linemen in the state. CECIL SWEARINGER Cecil, a product of Missouri, surely dem- onstrated the kick of the mule when he heaved a forward pass. At the beginning of the season his knowledge of the game helped wonderfully in the formation of the team. In his senior year at Springfield High School he was picked as all-State full-back. He is a player who does not know what the word fear means, since he loves to see them use their mitts in the ring as well as in the game. One hundred ninety-five ARTHUR ENGSTROM Arr surely has an ideal physique, which a man in the center of the line should pos- sess. By his grit and determination, along with his ability in twirlingn the pigskin, he developed into one of the best centers in the state. The lighting Swede,, never lost upep,, throughout the entire season, and only lost his temper once, in defense of one of his fellow-playmates. Art', will be with us three more seasons, and we do not doubt but that he will help bring a championship to our school next year. One hundred ninety-sz'x W CLARENCE HAAS Haas is a well-built lad from Lakewood, New Jersey. Although his thoughts and foot- steps are more often directed towards Altru- ria than to the athletic field, he, nevertheless, has had time to win letters in football, bas- ketball, and baseball. But, judging from the time spent in the two occupations, we pre- dict that he will get more than letters from Altruria. THE E GIBSON uGilf comes to us from Arizona, and is a well-built athlete. Although he was unable to take part in many games this year, he showed his making when he did get in. He will be on the gridiron again next year and we feel sure that he will then make a repu- tation for himself on next year,s squad.

Everyone seemed to feel confident that Coach Keogan itfwh was going to build up a machine that would equal anything in .' M this section. At the outset of the season the prospects were en- couraging, although the entire squad had to be picked from a body of green men, of whom only a few had had any experience, and that was limited to army and navy outfits during the war. Work started with a bang. Realizing that a great deal had to be learned by his men in a short time, the coach instituted a gruelling program from the first time that the squad assembled. Chalk talks at night after a strenuous session on the gridiron in the afternoon were common. The men soon caught the spirit of their leader, and worked hard and faithfully. Under ideal weather conditions and backed by the loyal students of the Hill, the team went into its initiatory battle against the Chicago Y. M. C. A. College, with a fighting spirit that is hard to beat. From the minute the first whistle blew, the Y. M. C. A. boys realized that they were up against an eleven that knew the game. And when the final call sounded, they were satisfied to leave the field with the short end of a 26 to 0 score. With one game to their credit, hope ran high, and on the following Sate urday when the fast Notre Dame Freshmen arrived, everyone felt assured of another victory. The team went into this contest with the same spirit they had entered the first game. Luck seemed to be against our men, for early in the contest the freshmen warriors made a Huke run for a touchdown. This was the only achievement of the kind during the game, and Valpo warriors tasted their first defeat by a total of 7 to 0. One week later the team representing the Great Lakes Naval Station journeyed here. The weather by this time was ideal for football, and the players were in excellent condition. Although the gobs but up a pretty battle they were hopelessly outclassed. F or long gains, V. Ufs sensational back-field ripped through the holes made by such linemen as Conley, Albe, and Sawyer, while the ends, Adams and Cook, spoiled every play attempted by the iigobs, before it got under way. The game ended with Valpo on the long end of a 33 to 0 score. Meanwhile, rumors had been coming to the ears of local enthusiasts re- garding the speedy team representing Transylvania College, and great inter- est was aroused. We met them. Early in the game the Kentuckians succeeded in kicking a field goal over the cross-bar for the only score made by either side in the first half. During the second half, V. U. warriors car ried the ball across the line for two touchdowns. The open field running of Frank Goheen, and the line plunging of Bradley and Dandelet featured the game. The contest ended with the Kentuckians on the short end to the extent of 12 to 3. Two hundred two W On Brown Day, before one of the largest crowds ever seen at Brown Field, the V. U. warriors downed the team representing Hanover College by the count of 54 to 0. In spite of the unevenness of the score, it was a thrilling contest. The pretty work clone by Conley, Earl Goheen, Dandelet, and Engstrom in breaking up every play attempted by the visitors, was a characteristic of the game. Cook again showed his ability when during the third quarter he took a pretty pass from Dandelet for forty yards and a touch down. The game ended with iiRabbit Corcoran carrying the ball titty yards through a broken field for a touchdown. By this time it seemed as if nothing could stop the wearers of the Brown and Gold, and when the team set out for St. Louis, everyone felt confident it would bring back victory. But the jinx seemed to have followed it, for when the V. U. warriors faced the line representing St. Louis University, the field was a sea of mud. Neither side was able to present a game. The team worked as it had never worked before, but it was unable to reach the St. Louis goal post. A Huke kick in the third quarter gave St. Louis her only score. The game ended 3 to 0 in favor of the enemy. During the contest Campbell suffered a broken ankle that put him out of commission for the rest of the season. In addition to this, our other casualties, among which were Brad- ley,s fractured ribs and Swearengefs fractured collar bone, left the team in bad shape, and a gloomy outlook faced our shattered veterans. With three first-string men, Conley, Bradley and Swearenger, on the sidelines, V. U. was again forced to taste defeat at the hands of Morningside College. But it was not without a fight that will long be remembered by those who witnessed the struggle. Cobk, Gilbert, and Dandelet did the star playing for Valpo, while Kriebel, who replaced Conley, put up a stubbord light. The. fray ended with Valpo on the little end of a 27 to 0 score. The game with Chicago Tech being cancelled, Coach Keogan worked hard getting the injured men back into uniform, and in preparing for the final test. On Thanksgiving Day the fast South Dakota team arrived. Much ine terest was aroused about this game, for the Coyotes had trimmed Morningv side, and everyone looked forward to a hot struggle. This was an occasion that will never be forgotten by those students and loyal alumni who returned for the iiFirst Annual HomeaComing Day. From the very outset of the game the V. U. warriors showed their training. Their line proved to be a stonewall through which the South Dakotans were unable to penetrate. Time after time our men plowed through the Coyotes, line, thereby enabling Dandelet, Gilbert, Bradley, and Frank Goheen to nail down solid gains that constituted a grand and glorious march for touchdowns. It was a pretty battle to witness, and the work of the sturdy fighters under the leadership of Captain iiDan,, will long be remembered. The season closed with Valpa- raiso winning by 12 to 0. Thus ended the game to which all others had led, the game to which all men had alluded as the crisis of the season and of our first essay into big atha Two hundred three W lifxgmtzo' THE RECORD 19E: g letics. Never yet had conditions been so serious, nor interest so great. How- ever, thanks to remarkable ability of Keogan, and especially to the untiring efforts of his briliant eleven, our players, by their excellent achievements on that eventful November day, engraved their names in words ineffaceable upon the annals of Valparaiso University. Two hundred four W prwgdbbb DICK BRADLEY, Captain uLook! Dick has the ball. This was the cry that was heard from the side-lines in the basketball games. For when he got the ball he was sure of a basket. And his good eye won for him a place on the All-State Basketball Team. We do not doubt that he will again get a place in the State Team next year. WALTER GILBERT The fans will long remember the man- ner in which Giltt foiled the Wabash guards in that memorable game. His speed and quick passing took the ball down to Valpols goal during every game. Besides being a star at basketball, he is a baseball artist of high calibre and covers third base like a big leaguer. ln l9l8 he was chosen to play ball with the All-Duluth Amateur Ball Team that toured Canada. Two hundred six W KENNETH R. CONLEY A winning smile backed by an even dis- position made Moosen a general favorite of the fans. uAtta Boy, Moose, was the usual cry of the routers. He held down the center position on the basketball team and was a whirlwind. His neat tmanner of dribbling down the floor always raised the score. As this is his first year at Valpo we look for him to make many more records during the next three years. THOMAS DANDELET uDann is a rather quiet fellow of genial nature, and is well-disposed towards his fel- lowmen. Though he prefers football to all athletics, he is a star in both basketball and track. During the entire basketball season he guarded Valpds goal-post, and the fans will never forget his excellent work when Valpo met Wabash. He captained the bas- ketball team in ,l6 and ,I7 at St. Thomas College, where he took out his preparatory work. Two hundred seven W lfszgszo THE RECORD 19 am EARL GOHEEN In basketball Earl occupied the guard posi- tion. When it came to holding a man down he was there, and if it was necessary he could take the ball across the floor, and with his keen eye raise the Valpo tally. Earl is a wonderful baseball player. His speed on the bases cannot be beaten, and it is very seldom that a ball get by him in the outer garden. HERBERT SCHWARTZ Herb hails from Minnesota, and al- though he pretends to be a woman-hater he sticks pretty close to Lembke Hall. He is a little fellow, but can make things move on the basketball court, and his fast work gained many points for Valpo. He is also a baseball man, and covers first base in fine style. This will be his last year with the University. We are eonhdent that he will soon be the owner of a large drug store. Two hundved eight E673 THE RECORD 1930 :Ahu-m-a WILLIAM F. BOOKWALTER This is Books, second year with the varsity basketball team, and although his heart was in Kentucky he managed to play a very fine grade of basketball. His long shots were always a feature of the game, as those who saw the Nebraska game well re- member. He will be with the team again next year, and we predict that his fast play- ing will gain many points for Valpo. CLARENCE HAAS Clarence is a splendid athlete, and his earn- est work has earned a place for him on the basketball team during the last two seasons. Fans will well remember how his good eye brought home victory in the game with Armour Institute. Two hundred nine W mwg. $219? THE Katmai; :9 h.- JEROME SCHULTZ Schultz is another athlete from Pennsyl- vania. And although he did not take part in many games, he made things Hy when he did get in. This year ends his athletic ca- reer with the UniVersity, for he is going away to dish out pills to the public. We have heard from several of his friends that Cupid is looping for him, and we wish him the best of success. BASKETBALL HILE the defeat of South Dakota was still fresh in the minds of all loyal Valpo students, Coach Keogan was transferring his enerv gies to developing a basketball team that could give just as good an account of itself as the football warriors had done. With men who had made previous records in preparatory schools and high schools, he began his work. Having Conley, Gilbert, Dandelet, Earl Goheen, Haas, and Bradley already in condition from their football season, he directed his steps to the development of other men. The opening contest was staged against iiPaW Pages veteran Maroons. The Chicago boys came down with four Victories to their credit, and with the intention of adding a fifth. However, they received the surprise of their lives. The wearers of the Brown and Gold went into the contest with a fixed cle- termination to win, and it was not until the last few minutes of the play, and by a call upon their reserve force, that the Windy City five were able to squeeze out a Victory. The score ended 22 to 13. The pretty defensive work of Coheen and Dandelet showed that they could break up plays on the basket ball court as well as on the gridiron, while the passtwork of Gilbert, Bradley and Haas kept the Visitors busy. On the following Tuesday night the La Porte Y. M. C. A. journeyed here, but only to taste defeat by the score of 55 to 9. In this contest Coach Keogan showed to the loyal supporters of the Brown and Cold that his ree serve force was also worthy of notice. In the second half he sent Bookwalter to replace Gilbert, Schwartz to replace Bradley, and Schultz to replace Haas. These men gave a good account of themselves and continued the scoring as easily as the others had. Coach Keogan then took his men to Bloomington, where they met the swift Indiana University quintette, and after a fierce struggle of clever passing and shooting from difficult angles, they again lost by the score of 24 to 15. Indiana obtained its lead during the first half, but throughout the second half they were outplayed on their own court. F ast work by Goheen and Dandelet kept the Indiana forwards from heavy scoring, while pretty baskets by Gilbert brought much applause from the spectators. On the following evening the wearers of the Brown and Cold had little difhculty in walking away with the Indiana Dentals at Indianapolis. Long shots by the V. U. outfit spelled defeat for the Dentals early in the game. Gilbert, Haas and Bradley walked away with the litooth-pullers' guards, while the six points scored by the Dentsh showed that the guard positions held by Goheen and Dandelet, and later by Bookwalter and Conley, were played in fine style. The count was 33 to 6. Next on the schedule came Armour Institute, which by a score of 28 to 20 also tasted defeat at the hands of the Brown and Gold. Conley played his first full basketball game, and showed that he was once more in condition after his recovery from football injuries. Two hundred eleven W1 :91?

Thus ended Valparaiso Universityhs successful basketball season. Out of twenty-two games played, fourteen went down as victories. The excellent reputation gained in football was also upheld in basketball. And to Coach h Keogan, Dandelet, Bradley, Conley, Haas, Coheen, Gilbert, Schwartz, t Bookwalter and Schultz is due the credit for this proud achievement. Memo- ries of these men will ever remain Vivid to those who saw Valparaiso suddenly f spring into the arena of intercollegiate basketball. Two hundred thirrteen W1 Ffaa'zo THE RECORD ms b; BASEBALL ' S SOON as Coach Keogan had finished his basketball schedule he began preparations for the baseball season. A large number of men volunteered for a tryyout, and it required the most careful discrimination in making the proper selection. Although at this writing the season is yet young, the team promises to make a record creditable to the proudest institution. Out of three games played, our men easily won two, and could have carried away the . other, had it not been scheduled at an unexpectedly early date. '5 The first encounter was with the Wisconsin nine, which represents one of E the iiBig Ten,,. Deeming it best to save themselves for later contests, Keogank outfit astonished the on-lookers by the easy manner in which it held the visitors to a 4 to 0 score against us. In this game the brilliant twirling done by Adams, as well as the swift pitching of Hanson and Benson, was an especial feature. Bradley, Gilbert, Conley, and Goheen held down their posid tions like veterans, and demonstrated that they were fully as skillful in baseball as they were in their earlier career on the gridiron and at basketball. E The second game was a oneasided affair in which our men routed Armour 1 Institute in an i I to 2 total. In this instance the pitching of Conley was a treat, '1; while the splendid work of Schwartz, Davis, Tree, and Robinson did much to it make Victory possible. It would be difficult to hnd better material than these four men, and the work they are doing is deserving of the utmost praise. Weft Davis, the product of half a dozen years of unsurpassed work on E the diamond, is absolutely essential to our organization, and the fame of his E baseball exploits is by no means limited to Valparaiso. Er Tree was the man Keogan sent for when he felt the need of an infallible catcher. He fits his position admirably, and none other could be more active or more accurate. iiBobby Robinson, the true type of Hawaiian imperturbability and 1 American pertinacity, is the man who rounds the V. U. nine into one com- E plete, perfectly-functioning whole. Bobby is there with the goods, and unless I E E E he has a crooked bat he never makes a single strike-out. It was by the skill of such men as these that on April 24 we completely vanquished the Lake Forest line-up, which was utterly unable to connect up with the ball as delivered by Adams. The result was 9 to 0. With such an auspicious opening to judge by, careful observers are aln ready predicting that our work this Spring on the diamond will even eclipse that phenomenal showing in football which takes us to the Stadium at Harvard, and brings old Yale to Brown Field.

It is expected that these meii will make ' a reputation for themselves in the meets to follow. The Team is under the careful direction of Dandelet. And with such men as Monahan, Gibson, Bowman, and iiCys in the spurts; with Coxy, Washburn, McMahon, Young, and Mitchell in the distance runs; with Gibson, Hamilton and Keene in the high jumps and hurdles; and with Visti, Lampa, and Faterlund handling the weights, no one doubts that they will do credit to their Alma Mater. These V athletes are all in the best of condition, and Dandelet predicts a winning team that will uphold unquestionably our excellent track standing of previous years. RECORD 19 km; szggag THE RECORD ,19 JESSIE L. DUNLAP Director of Physical Education for Women .- r:ng THE RECOR i lszob-Qvu. nga PHYSICAL EDUCATION FOR WOMEN s; IMULTANEOUS with the entrance of Valparaiso University into the fleld of intercollegiate athletics was the introduction of iiPhysical Education for Women, into the regular curriculum. Remarkable progress has been made and a great deal of interest manifested in the work. Miss Jessie Lois Dunlap was chosen as Physical Director for Women, and under her able supervision the women stw dents have taken a new interest in athletics. Miss Dunlap is well qualified for this position, having had a great deal of experience along this line. She re- ceived her B. S. degree from Lenox College, and has taken special work in Physical Education both at Northwestern University and at the Chicago Normal School of Physical Education. There was a splendid enrollment throughout the year, and the work was taken up with Vigor and enthusiasm. Because of the lack of equipment at the beginning of the year, there was considerable delay in getting the work started in a satisfactory manner. AH obstacles were overcome, however, and courses were given in Swedish and General Gymnastics, Military Tactics, Folk Dancing, and in other subjects included in the regular Normal Course. Light apparatus work with Indian clubs, dumb-bells and wands was another feature of the work oftered in the regular classes. Hiking, indoor baseball, lectures in tennis and hockey, and other games received special emphasis. The special class in Aesthetic Dancing was very popular, and the girls taking this branch of the training learned many graceful and artistic dances, chief among which was the iiDance of the Witches that was given at one of the annual Halloween entertainments. Perhaps, of most interest to the students as a whole were the public basketball games played between the iiBrown and iiCold,, teams. A large number of girls tried out for the teams, and keen rivalry was displayed through out the entire season. The successful aspirants to positions on the regular teams were as follows: BROWN GOLD J. Bowman, Captain and Center. C. De Luca, Captain and Center. J. Frageman, Forward. M. Thompson, Forward. V. Phegley, Forward. S. Billups, Forward. E. Strickland, Guard. H. Murray, Guard. L. Toms, Guard. H. Morse, Guard. D. Swisher, Guard. E. Schmidt, Guard. D. Merchant, Guard. E. Hayes, Guard.

B., Diwctor of Publications When in the fall of nineteen nineteen the bell in the 0101 College Buildd ing once more began its summons to the seekers of learning, many were the vicissitudes apparent to the former friends, tried and true, and those new- found. The habitat of the Commercials had been stuccoed into a pretty ediv lice; Thespian Hall, by superseding the Crescent and Star, had become the abode of the Expression- ists; a cafeteria had sprung up in East Hall; and Brown Field with a nascient name was populated with gridiron warriors. Numerous were the changes from the curriculum of the past, and the institution founded in eighteen hung dred seventyeflve had taken on a new life. Alterations of every kind were in order, and with them came a sort of an article that Valparaiso University had never known before in all its history; an Alumni Secretary. Here was a problem. An Alumni Association which had been existing in the hearts of all the adherents of their Alma Mater for many years had to by crystallized and put into some form binding in its Chara acter. And so on an inspiration, with only the guiding force of a dream, with the restless energy of ambitious proceedings furnishing the motive power, and with the hope that the message would strike deep to the souls of the graduates, a quarterly magazine was born. And then what to do for a name? One morning out of the clear blue sky came the one word which would fit with an exactness and with a nicety as no other appellationeThe Valumni. On the tenth week of each term this chronicle comes forth, telling of this former student here, and of that one who has made such a success there. Of course, it is replete with the present hapv penings and activities of the institution, and it of a necessity carries some bits of the story of the construction of the Brown and Gold. But, above all, it goes forth to those who are the exponents of their Alma Mater, as the tie which helps to bind them to their own Valparaiso University.

It is the bulletin board, the information bureau, the advertising medium, and the best means of publicity on the campus. The very heartethrobs of cola lege life are noticeable in the college paper. It reflects the ideals, the sorrows, the humors, the successes, and the failures of the student body. As well as having much to do with life in the school, it is also the means by which others know the college which it represents. They study it for ideas of the society, the athletics, and the general policy of the institution. From it they learn the work of the various departments, the news of general interest, ' and the progress toward those ideals for which the college or university stands. It is, therefore, important locally and generally. A liberal consideration of these facts leads to the conclusion that the ilRecord would not be complete unless some mention was made of The Torchh in acknowledgment of the splendid work done by its staff. During the last year of the war WThe Torch was not published. This was a long time for a school to be without a paper. It was so long that the majority of us had lost interest in the college journal. As a result it was equal to starting anew, when last autumn a temporary staff had the first numbers ready for the students as soon as they arrived. The splendid quality which has always been a characteristic was evident at the very start. This was due in a large measure to the hard work and untiring efforts of the former Editora in-Chief. Mr. Frank Thomas, and his efficient Managing Editor, Mr. Christian Miller. As soon as the Student Council met, a permanent staff was elected. From this time on the student body became more and more, indebted to Mr. Arthur F. Boyles, the present Editor-in-Chief, and to his able assistants, for the excela lent material in the well-lilled columns of llThe Torch. Of course, there is always a financial side to every enterprise, and a college paper is no exception. To Mr. R. E. Williams we owe a vote of thanks for piloting our paper safely through all financial difficulties. During the past year athletics have played a greater part in our activities than ever before. It was necessary to have them well written for WThe Torchf, For this duty we were exceedingly for- tunate in securing for Sporting Editor, Mr. W. J. Brennan, and for his as- sistant, Mr. R. F. Washburn. To them we express our sincere appreciation for the splendid manner in which athletics have been presented. The paper has never failed to appear on Friday of each week, and each time it has been placed where the students could get it and sent by mail to other places. F or this work we thank Mr. Virgil W.
