To every true son of Villauova it should be a pleasure ami a journey of love to wander back into the beginnings of our beloved Alma Mater. Were we to go back a few years after the nineteenth century mark, there is no Villauova. It is Belle-Air. On October 13, 1801� , John Rudolph, a Catholic merchant of Philadelphia, bought a farm of one hundred acres from Jonathan Miller of Ilaverford township for $ 10,000. He afterwards enlarged his farm by four purchases from neighboring tracts of land. Rudolph was born in Philadelphia about 1700 and had served as a lieutenant in the Revolutionary war. When he bought this farm there was an uu finished building on it. fie completed it and then moved from town and in remembrance (it is said) of his father's native place, called our present VUlanova, Belle-Air. We, who are so blessed with conveniences in this day, will be surprised to learn that Mr. Rudolph drove every Sunday to Philadelphia to the near est Catholic Church. , The many details of the Belle-Air life we must pass over. Rudolph died March 30, 1838, and was buried at St. Mary's, Philadelphia. In 18 H, Belle-Air was put up for sale to take place Thursday, October It. I8H. The day before the one announced for the public sale, Belle Air was pur chased for $18,000 by Rev. .Uiguntim� Kyle, of St. Augustine's, and Dr. Moriarty, commissary of the province. On January 1812, title to Belle Air was granted to the Brothers of the Order of Hermits of St. Augustine. ' At this time there were only five Augustinians in the country: l)r. Moriarty, commissary; Fathers Kyle and O'Dwyer in Philadelphia; Father, Nicholas and James O'Donnell in Brooklyn. Father O Dwyer. in the Fall of 1812 or the Winter of 1813, was forced by reason of poor health to go abroad. In the Summer of 1813 lie returned much stronger and filled with enthusiasm for the great work lie had in mind. With him came Rev. Francis Ashe, a priest, and Rev. William Harnett, a deacon, who bad made their novitiate and studies in houses of the Order in Italv. 10 But what is to In done with the great farm of Helle-Air, now Augustin ian property? In the spring of 1848, Brothers Dennis Gallagher (Brother .John in religion) and Jeremiah Ryan were sent from St. Augustine's to open the house at Belle-Air. This faet is of interest because it marks the first residence of members of the order at our present Villanova. Tradition has it that Father O'Dwyer said mass in the parlor oratory and blessed the new monastery on St. Augustine's day, August 28, 1818.' He dedicated the new mission to St. Thomas of Villanova. Thereafter, Belle-Air passes away and we have ’illaiKK'd. On all Saints' Day, 181-8 Bro- thers Gallagher and McDonnell were received into the order under names of John and Thomas. Now is was necessary to put the new monastery on a anonieal basis. This was done at the request of Father Philip Angelueei. Vicar-General of the Order, by Pope Gregory XVI, in a brief issued December 22, 1818. The probable date of the opening of school is September 18, 1818. In the ( a holie, of Pittsburgh, it is stated, that “in 1818 the College began its career” and that thirteen youth opened the establishment. We, of Villanova 11)22, lind it rather hard to understand the sacrifices of comfort the boys of the infant school made. Until the erection of the chapel building in 1811, the students' lavatory was in Rudolph's old wagon- shed. A long wooden trough to hold the basins was set up along the far side of the shed: it was open in front. Water was procured from the pump some one hundred feet away. In the new College building (tin east wing of the Tolentino Academy) was completed and the students moved from the monastery. In the spring of 1841, thefirst prospectus of Villanova appeared in the ( ntholic Herald of Philadelphia. Villanova’s first scholastic year was an exciting one. The Augustinian church of St. Augustine in Philadelphia had been burned in tin Know- nothing Riots, and all the inmates of Villanova were in contsant fear of an attack on the College. F.very evening the boys were marched down the Lancaster Pike to Mrs. Rudolph's house to spend the night. That house still stands. It is a stone building on the south side of the Pike about a mile down and almost opposite where, until recently, the Roscmont toll- gate stood. Shortly after the lire in St. Augustine's, Dr. Moriartv and Father Kyle left for F.uropc and Father O’Dwyer became Superior of the Missions, which position he held till his death. May 24, 18- (). Father O'Dwyer's life was a very active one. He now made additions to the barn—two wings; one for corn, etc., the other for wagons and partly for a gymnasium. In May. Father O’Dwver laid the corner-stone for tin ll new church. On Sunday, September 1, 1844, the Feaat of Our Lady of Con solation, it was blessed and opened by Rt. Rev. Franci P Kcnrick. Ordi nary of the diocese. The main lia'l of this building served ns study hall for the pupils. On Saturday nights the desks were ranged against the wall and the place was made ready for the Sunday service. In this way. Father O'Dwyer passed his summer vacation of 1844. Classes opened as usual in September, 184L On Km her Saturday, Sep temher 21, 18ft, Bishop Kcnrick ordained Brother Harnett in St. John's Church, Philadelphia. When the new term opened February, 1845, Father O'Dwyer began to fee-1 a reaction after his indefatigable labors and the troubles of the past year. He had to erect a new church at St. Augustine's and conduct suits at law against the city of Philadelphia for the recent damages. Father Josoph O'Donnell gave up his mission on Long Island to Bishop Dubois Father Ashe was in delicate health (he died March 18, 181-8). Father Harnett, just ordained, was convalescing from a severe illness. These four, with Father Nicholas O'Donnell, were the only priests of the Order in tin- country. Under pressure of such circumstances. Father O'Dwyer decided that it would be best and, in fact, necessary to close school temporarily. On February 20 it was announced in the Catholic Hcrahl and on the same day Father O’Dwyer called the boys together and announced the closing. Thus after two years of struggling and laboring, during which time forty five young men had been in training, Villanova reluctantly closed her doors not to open again till the Fall of 184(1. During the Summer of 184 the Fathers decided to reopen. Sunday. September (i, 18 Mi. Villanova resumed her great work of Christian educa- tion with l ather () Dwyer, president, and Fathers Ashe and Harnett assist ing him. About a month later Father Kyle returned from Ireland. There were some lay professors engaged. The year was uneventful. On Wcdncs «lay, July 21, 1847, the closing exercises were held on tin- gr«-en—just north of the college building (now Tolentinc Academy). Rev. Janus O'Donnell presided and Mr. .1. I). Bryant read an essay on “Patriotism. This was Villa nova's first public commencement. Three clerics of the order, who had been in Italy in the fall .� f 1842. re turned early in September, 1847. They were F.dward M. Mullen. Deacon (lamed. 12 A one-story frame building, to serve as a lavatory, was erected at the northwest corner of the Chapel in 1817. The Fathers in the spring of 1818 petetioned the Legislature for a Char ter. On Friday, March 10 of that yearT Francis K. Sliunk, governor of the state, signed “an act to incorporate the Augustinian college of Villa- nova in the County of Delaware and the State of Pennsylvania.” The first' sail of the college was adopted on December •10, 1818— a Bible, cross, crozicr, cincture, and a flaming heart pierced with an arrow, without anv inscription. On May 18, 1818, Mr Charles F.gan. a native of Ireland, twenty-seven years of age, was received into the novitiate. He was the first cleric mn'icc at Villanova. Commencement of 1818 was held Wednesday, «hinc I!), on the green. There were at least a thousand present. Rev. Edward .1. Sourin gave out the premiums and addressed the audience. In this same year the Fathers began the erection of another college building. They planned to put up a wing only. It was begun in 1818 and finished by February, 1811). It was 88 by .'� .’5 feet and cost $'11,1)58.77. At the same time Father O’Dwyer hail a small one-storv stone building erected at tin railroad for a college station. At the closing exercises held Wednesday, July 18, 1811). President Father O’Dwver,, among other remarks, announced that the College was frce_ of debt. In the year 1811) to 1850, Father Harnett issued a Prospectus. The courses included: Creek, Latin, English, History, Geography, Mathe- matics. Rhetoric, Poetry, Natural and Moral Philosophy, and Chemistry. On the second floor of the wing a large and beautiful ball was opened for a library and reading room. It was open in free hours and all day on Sun- day. Each member paid $1.00 a year. In 1850, the Fathers with the ap- proval of Bishop Kcnriek. opened a manual labor school at Villanova for orphans over sixteen years of age from St. John's Orphan Asylum. But now the light that had burned so brilliantly and unremittingly was flickering. Father O’Dwyer’s health failed and he went to Mt. Hoj� near Baltimore. The chaplain in charge at the time was Rev. John A. Newmann, C. SS. R., afterwards the venerable Bishop of Philadelphia. He gave Father Stanton most edifying details of Father O’Dwyer’s last illness. The saintly man insisted on receiving the Holy Eucharist kneeling on the floor. He died Friday, May 21, 1850, at the age of thirty-six. Father William Harnett succeeded Father O'Dwyer in the presidency. About this time the college regulations were drawn up. We give a copy of them below. They show the strict military training of the Villanova boys of long ago. 13 Boys to rise at 5.30; Prayer at ; Mass at (5.30; Breakfast at 7.30 Recreation to 8.30; Studies to 12; F.xamcn at 12; Anicius and Dinner: Recreation to 2; College Regulations Studies to 4.30; Recreation to 5; Studies from 5-0; Spiritual Reading from 6-6.30; Angelus and Supper at 6.30; Recreation to 7: Studies from 7-8; Prayer to 8.30; Bed by 0. Silence in Refectory; Dormitory; Study Hall; Wash Room. Privations No liquor: No tobacco; No snuff; No ba«l conduct; No absence; No idleness; No negligence; No injustice. Rt. Rev. Francis P. Kenriek, on Sunday June 16, 1850, administered Confirmation to thirty-five |H-rsons; twentv-tliree were college students, six of whom made their first Comunion the same morning. This is the first time flic Sacrament was .«inferred at Yillanova. C ommencement was held on Wednesday, July 17. Bishop Kenriek presided. On December 17. 1850, Brothers Ambrose A. Mullen and Charles F.gau were ordained by Bishop fcnrick. In 1851, Commencement took place on July 16. The valedictory was by Master Charles O’Donnell. There was much advancement in 1852. The Monastery was enlarged by the addition of a stone building making in all 80 by 15. There was also erected for laundry and baking purposes, a large two-story house ( HI by 24 about one hundred yards cast of the barn). The commencement of 1852 was on Wednesday, July 14. The valedictory was by Francis Harper. The Fathers opened a theological department to candidates f«ir the secular priesthood, in 1853. Among the first applicants were Mr. Farren of Boston, Mass., and Mr. Stack of Pittsburgh, Pa. Dr. Moriartv taught the class in Sacred FJoqucncc. In 1853 ,'ommenccmcnt was held on tin- last Wednesday of June, and July commencements were abandoned. On commencement day. Wednesday, June 27, 1855, our College for the first time used the potccrs granted by the State to confer degrees. James 14 F. Dooley and Henry R. Alexander received Bachelorship of Arts. Two years later, Mr. Dooley received from Villanova the Mastership of Arts. Rt. Rev. Bishop Neuman,’C.SS., presided. In 1855-5(5 Father Harnett was president. Now the Fathers found it necessary to devote their efforts to the development of their missions. Therefore on commencement day, 1857, the hoys were assembled ami tin closing announced. College remained closed for eight years. In the fn'l of 1857, the Bishop of Philadelphia held a retreat at Villa - nova and, on All Saints' Day, conferred sacred orders on Brother Peter Crane. This was the first ordination at Villanova. In the spring of 18(55, a second clergy retreat was held at the College. In 18(55, the Fathers decided to re-open the College. In September classes were resumed with Father Ambrose A. Mullen as President. With him were associated Fathers Pacificus A. Nemo, Philip Ixxo, Francis M. Shecran, the new vice-president, and Thomas C. Middleton, members of the order recently arrived from Italy. Messrs. Michael O’Farrell, Timothy Donovan, Charles Marsden, John Dcvir, and Thomas Cullen were candi- dates for the order. The ecclesiastical department of Villanova was under the guidance of Father Father Ixxo was master of novices. With Father who in I8 ) received the doetorship, were allied during his sixteen years of regency in the studies, Father A ngostiw 1 ' nun� , Middleton, O'Farrell, Fleming, Naxxnreno Proposta, Joseph A. Locke, and Maurice M. Ryan. On Palm Sunday, 18(5(5, the Passion was sung at Villanova for tile first time. The chanters were Father Ixxo. .Vumu, Middleton. On Thurs- day, July 20, Father N smt was invested with the master’s cap and ring by Dr. .Moriarty, delegate of the general. This was the first time such n cere- mony took place in the province. In 18(5� , Father Stanton succeeded Father Ambrose Mullen as president of Villanova. His term was a very prosperous one. In 18(i{), a gymnasium was erected. It was a frame building 81 by M) and was fully equipped. Cndcr Father Stanton's administration, college catalogues were published tor the first time—1871. In 1871, water works were erected at the foot of Mt. Misery. The first jet of water reached college reservoir on Wednesday, December (5. Mt. Misery is, of course, known to all Augustinians and most of Villanova's old boys. The boys of today seem to be letting the old name die out. It is the- hill on the north side of the Pennsylvania Radroad Sta- tion, above the old spring-house. Some time in the early 'Ml’s not long after the Fathers had come into possession of Belle-Air, Dr. Moriarty, being y M f e I' V i r struck with the generally forlorn and com fort less look of things around the hill-top christened the place 'Mount Misery. Father Stanton, after three years in office, was succeeded by the cry Rev. Thomas Gal berry, as president. Under the new president, work began on the main wing of the college building (now rolcntine Academy) in tin year 1878. The first stone was laid in the trenches on Tuesday, April I. The cross-one hundred feet from the ground—was raised over the College on Thursday, September k Oil Tuesday, February 8, 1871, the building was occupied by teachers ami students. The building has a frontage of 171 feet. Now ther«! was better accommodation demanded for the Faithful. 1 he gymnasium was, therefore, dismantled and the hall fitted up for church purposes. Mass was said for the first tilin’, in the new gymnasium church on Sunday, July IK 1872. On Sunday, September 15. Hishop Wood blessed the building. A postoffice was opened in the new station at the foot of the college hill in 1872. Mail was delivered at Villanova for the first time on Wvdnes day, November (5, 1872. Cutler I’ather Galbcrry the Forty Hour was in itroduced at Villanova. On the eve of commencement, Tuesday, June 2i , 1875, the alumni met and with Father (ialbcrry. bishop-elect of Hartford, formed an alumni £5 Su iassociation. Father (ialbcrry left for Hartford, Conn., to tak - up his work f itL ns Bishop, Tuesday, May 7. 187(5. Father Thomas C. Middleton was clmseii oy president for the remainder of the term. At tin- commencement of 187(5, gold medals were given out for the first time. John K. Crowley was awarded a gohl medal for general excellence, and John J. Ryan one for mathematics. During the following year nothing of importance happened. 'Flic straight avenue leading down to the station was cut out and trees planted In the summer vacation of 187(5, Rev. John J. Fcdigan was elected president. During his two years � � f office many improvements were made. In 187I the fourth-story was added to the monastery and steam was in ro- dueed. In September, 1880, Father Fcdigan was transferred to Atlantic City and Father Joseph Coleman succeeded to the presidency. He was presi dent for six years and during that time Villanova made rapid strides for ward. At the commencement of 1881, Very Rev. James A. Corcoran. D.D., of Over brook Seminary, presided. Music was supplied bv the College Gleir Club. In the summer of 1881 the custom was introduced of chanting the Pnlsms at Vespers on Sundays !� v a double choir of clerics; one in the organ gallery and the other with the rest of the religious in the chancel. The Fathers now decided to build a new church. In 1883, the present Church of St. Thomas of Villanova was erected. It is a beautiful gothic structure, and an evidence of zeal and labors of these self-sacrificing men. The little oratory in the old monastery parlor was the first step; then came the Church of 1818, the Chapel of 1811, the Gymnasium Church of 1872, ami finally the beautiful structure standing at present. On Faster Thurs- day, March 29, 1888, ground for the new church was broken by Prior Cole- man. St. Mark’s Day, April 25, the first stone was laid in the trenches; Sunday afternoon. June 8, tin- Feast of Most Pure Heart of Mary, the cor- ner-stone of the new church was solemnly blessed and laid in place by lit. Rev. Jeremiah F. Shanahan, Bishop of Harrisburg. Dr. Stanton delivered the dedication oration. Sunday, November 28, 188 f, the cross on the front gable was blessed by V. Rev. Maurice A. Walsh, vicar of the diocese. The sermon was preach- ed by Rev. John P. Gilmore, (). S. A. Father Coleman who had been trans- ferred to Australia, completed the church. On Sunday, July 3, Most Rev. P. .1. Ryan of Philadelphia, blessed it. Rt. Rev. M. J. O’Farrel, of Trenton, gave the benediction sermon. Father Sheeran, for many years professor and vice-president, in 1885 received the degree of Bachelor of Sacred Theology and was elected presi- dent of Villanova. During 1889 while Father Blake was procurator, the old Rudolph barn was rebuilt. Mr. Durang drew up the plans. In the long vacation of 1890, V. Rev. Charles A. MeHvoy was elected president, with Rev. Richard A. Gleason as vice-president. The year after, Rt„ Rev. Lawrence A. Delury succeeded as vi e-president. The fiftieth anniversary of Villanova’s foundations occurred in 1892. At this time the community consisted of forty-five members, viz.—sixteen priests, ten professed clerics, five novice lay brothers, four postulants. The students were ninety; fifteen in the eclesiastieal ami seventy-five in the collegiate department. The golden jubilee was a great day for Villanova. The academic celebration took place on Wednesday. June 21, 1898. Many bishops and clergymen were present. Archbishop Ryan presided. The religious celebra- tion took place on Sunday, July 2, 1893. The Rt. Rev Thomas McGovern, Bishop of Harrisburg, celebrated Solemn Pontifical Mass and Vespers. 'Phis was the first lime such services took place in the history of Villanova. The jubilee sermon was preached by Rev. F. X. McGowan, O.S.A., rector of 17 i to.y C m. Ufh £an. 0.(UL •� St. Augustine’s, I.ansingburgh, N. V Most Kev. 1' .1. Ryan, Archbishop of Philadelphia, assisted at Vespers in the evening. Rev. (buries F. Kelly. D.D., of Towanda, Pa., an alumnus of 18 8, delivered an address on Chris tian Kduention. The Archbishop also spoke. Father MoKvoy was succeeded as president of illanova by Rev. I’ran eis .1. McShanc. At the provincial chapter July, 1 S! I-. l ather McShane was elected, a new hoar� ! f directors chosen, and tin faculty increased. Many improvements were made under the new president. I here was a not able advance in the scientific department in the way of new appliances and improved apparatus. In 18.0:� , Rev. L. A. Delury became president. During his administra tiou Yillanova made great strides, hi 1899 the present imposing structures (College and Monastery) were started. The work was finished and the buildings occupied in 1001. On June 28. 1901, they were blessed. The old Monastery was now made into a house for the postulants of the order, ami opened December 8. 1902, under the patronage of St. Rita of Cassia. The old College became an academy for younger boys -Tolcntine Academy. In 1905, Yillanova, realizing the need of men trained in the practical work of applied science, opened a school of technology and instituted courses in civil, electrical, ami mechanical engineering. The seventeen years of her labors in this field have shown conclusively that Yillanova did not overstep the bounds of her ability in undertaking to develop trained, efficient, tech nieal men to take their places among the leaders of industry. At the sixty eighth annual commencement June 15, 1909. Yillanova graduated her first engineers. Lewis Nixon, of New York, naval constructor and ship builder, delivered the address. The first graduates were John A. White, of Williams port. Pa.. hdward J. Kirsch of Roscmont, Pa., civil engineers; and John J Smith of Altoona, electrical engineer. Thursday, October 17, 1907, Rt. Rev. WiMiam A. Jones, (). S. A., consecrated the illanova church. Dr. Dclurcy was succeeded in 1910 bv Rev. Kdward (i. Dohan, S.T.I... O.S.A. On Januan 10, 1912. between two and three o'clock while the clerics w re at office in the monastery chapel, St. Rita’s Hall took fire and was almost totally destroyed. It was soon replaced by a new building. In 1912 the corner-stone was laid and the chapel was blessed on the feast of M. Augustine, August 28. During Father Dohan’s administration, the new college hall was opened. Many improvements were also made in the laboratories. A two-vear pre medical course was introduced. It is designed to meet the requirement, for 18 sioiinl Education of tin State of Pennsylvania. There is extensive work in Chemistry, Biology, and Physiology. On May h 1912, work was started on a new building for the Professed and the Novices of the order. It is a memorial to Bernard Corr. Father Delian was succeeded in 1917 by one whose name had been joined with Villanova's progress many years. Father Dean did not come to us a stranger. Since 189.’}. with the exception of three years, he has been continually associated with the College in one capacity or another. He has been Professor, Prefect of Studies, and Dean of the School of Technology. His ability as an orator, his attainments in the field of science and mathe- matics, his business ability and his understanding of boys, made his admin- istration a decided success. Toward the end of the year 1920, Father Dean suffered a physical collapse and was forced to tender his resignation as President. The follow- ing September Fr. Francis A Driscoll, who for seven years had been identi- fied with Villanova's work in the capacity of Vice-President succeeded Father Dean as President. During his administration Villanova has broadened and intensified her courses. The Engineering S.'hool has introduced all the various branches. A School of Business Administration has been inaugurated. The Pre- Medical Course has added another year, and the College has been placed on the list of Colleges approved bv the Association of Colleges and Univer- sities of the Middle States and Maryland. !dlr-Atr Board of Editors William A.

Treasurer (Hlaafl ifiatnry f T F IT wouldn’t be for the fellows here, you’d never see me around this place again, take it from me.” I heard this rather startling declara- tion not so long ago from one of our engineers who had the blues, or a Hunk,” or some other trifling incident. Though it was just a meaning- less outburst of feeling, it contained the germ of one of the biggest things of our college life. However rosy our comedians, scenario writers, and journalists picture a four-year vacation” at college, there are a great many things that are gulped down only because the fellows are with us. A good “crowd” carries us smoothly over the rough spots just as (they say) a good wife is the very best of antidotes for Despair in the journey through life. The bunch-spirit” is not the same as school-spirit, the latter is chief- ly dependent on things outside of the individual, while the former arises spontaneously out of the hearts of the fellows themselves. Two fellows en- tirely antagonistic to each other may be united in school spirit, but they are never united in the same crowd.” A strongly knit together band can build cities and move mountains; a few men bound together with the great- est ties of loyalty built Villanova, and the same spirit still haunts the build- ings it erected . After four years of life in the midst of a gang of regular fellows, and guided by Father Frank Driscoll (who is the best one of them all), the graduating class is about to go, each one a regular, honest-to-goodness he- man. It was the crowd that made things a pleasure, and it was the crowd that helped to blot out quickly the inevitable sorrows that must come in a four years crowded with incidents. The faces of the crowd will never leave our memories, even though we may never see them again. In 11)18, when the only correct shade for gentlemen was khaki, '22, the War-Babies” was born. Villanova impressed us more as a barracks than as an institution of learning. Classes and professors were only of sec- ondary importance, a prefect was a thing quite beyond our conception. Lieutenant A. 11. Scott, and his staff of lieutenants. Love, l.owrie. Brown, Fair, Nacc, and Blanchfield introduced to us the new word discipline, and the introduction was not a gentle one. The days were full ones, from the shivering roll-call in front of the Hag-pole at Reveille, to solemn Taps that Bugler Lyons sounded front the Bridge at night. In retrospect, it all seems wonderful, but at that time it was quite different. 25 '22 will never forget tlu lavs of tin ••flu.” Classes were xus| cndcd. and likewise all military formations, because all that were not ft dually .si« k were required for a thousand kinds of necessary detail work, (iuard Duty (at the gates with wooden jjiins). K. I , and hospital duty alternated so rapidly that we sometimes wished the ■flu might get us -just a little hit. Father Dean, Father Driscoll, and Lieutenant Scott were tireless in their attentions to the sick, and to all the mass of routine work connected with the establishment of a military post. The days they spent at the desk, and the nights they spent among the siek. (The very first ease of the epi dcmic here was discovered by Father Frank, who was the Prefect of Studies; in the dead of night In- carried in his own arms the stricken man from his room to the infirmary: tin- next morning he himself was vi.tim of tin- germ.) Mainly on aeount of their unceasing vigilance, the efficient work of the doctors and nurses, and the care that was taken to treat each ease on the np|x:nraiiee of the first symptom, there was only one death from more than a hundred eases. After tin Armistice, when there was no longer a probability of being summoned for active duty at the front, interest in military things gradually waned. As in other units, there were a great many who came, not to a col lego, but to a training camp. And with the prospect of an early discharge, their only thought was Discharge. Of course, the spirit was contagious, and even on the part of the officers, discipline grew 'ess exacting. On the last day. the only way the non-coms succeeded in getting the fellows out of bed was by sounding the fire-alarm. And the response was rather too slow for reality at that. Finally, on December I 1th, the Corps was officially disband ed, and everyone was allowed to go home until the after the Christmas lioli days. On the third of January we came back, this time to Villanovn College. It was then that the class was actually born into the collegiate world. Father Dean was now the Commandant; Father Driscoll and his staff of prefects new saw to it that we obeyed regulations. This new life seemed at first one of luxury indeed. There were no more reveilles, no more assignments to K. P. duty, no more making of beds, scrubbing of floors, room inspections for imaginary dirt,—the new order of things was almost unbelievable. 1 (trough the efforts of Father Dean and Lieutenant Seott, a unit of the Reserve Officers Training Corps ( R. (). T. C.) was instituted, and those who had found military life enjoyable were glad of continuing their educa tion in soldierly accomplishments. Lieutenant Seott remained with us as the (Xficcr-in-Charge. 20 The difference in administration was a marked one. The upper-class- men quickly took us in hand and put us through the various degrees of the Ancient ami Kternal Order of the Hobble Gobble. Any little bit of swell heudedness that might have survived army days was quickly discovered and taken out of us. Professors, classes, and religious exercises assumed a new importance in our life. Much had been missed during the months previous to Christmas, and it required busy .lecture hours and lots of preparation to make up before June what had been lost. The sections, of course, were not nearly as large as they had been, owing to the fact that comparatively few ol those who were here during the S. A. T. ('. had returned for the second term. Due to the earnestness of those who did come back, the judicious arrangement of schedules and the co-operation of fa uilty and student body, June found us exactly in that place where, we should have been after a normal year. 'Pile It. (). T. C. unit spent six weeks in training at Camp I.ee, Virginia, and those days will never be forgotten bv the ones who attended. The I 'nil brought them back to school sun browned, lean, and hard. Father Dean was still President, Father Harris, Prefect of Discipline, and Father Frank Driscoll, Vice-President and Prefect of Studies. During this year, Father Harris was transferred to North Trov, N. V., and Father Driscoll for the re- mainder of the year assumed his duties. 'Pile first event of importance in this, our Sophomore year was the visit of Cardinal Mercier. He was received here, with great ovations of welcome; the grounds were crowded with people from all the country around who came to see the great Cardinal: the two companies of the It. (). T. C, composed chiefly of the class of ’22, formed the Guard of Honor. 'Phe problem of introducing the Freshmen into college ranks properly and with fitting ceremony was as usual the particular task of the Sophomore C’lass, and it might he said that few' classes have ever had the privilege of managing in their infancy, a better class than ’23. (Even today, we look with pleasure on our work.) In the spring of our Sophomore Year was founded the Villanova Col- legi- Chapter of the American Association of Engineers. Phis organization was introduced into the school to provide a means of contact for our student engineers with the engineering world outside. And once more .June came, and vacation, and an a l too qui.-k September. 'Pile Finals of the Sophomore year had caused a high mortality; there were many vacant places at roM-call when we began our career as the Junior Class. It was just prior to our return that Father Driscoll had been chosen President of the College, Father O’Meara, Vice-President and Prefect of 27 Discipline, with l ather Grelis as the Prefeet of Studies. If the student |,o ly had been asked to cliocse its own College President, or had hern asked to select for itself a Prefect of Discipline, there is not the slightest doubt hut that the very same men would have been chosen. Father Frank had long before taken his pi ace in the long line of eops, firemen, presidents gen- erals and our other heroes; and Father O'Meara’s snide had from the very first moment won everyone of us as a friend, unconditionally. With this change in Administration, Villa nova’s phenomenal growth began. One of Father Driscoll s first nets, was to divide the college Into departments, placing at the bead of each, a Departmental Dean who was entirely responsible for the operation of his department. This one step was an enormous stride toward rapid expansion and a never before dreamed of efficiency. 'I’lie effects were apparent almost immediately. Father Grelis was created Dean of the Classical Department, Father Fink, Dean of tlu- Pre-Medical Department, and Professor Humphrey. Dean of the School of Technology, and all the energies of these men were bent toward systemati ing and organizing the work of their respective departments. A |� erfeet coordination of classes and schedules, and an almost complete elimination of those troublesome tilings known as conflicts” was an immediate result. Oil October 28, 1920, Alumni Hall was dedicated. 'Phis day marked the completion of a work that had engrossed the attention of the aiithori ties for many years past; there were many difficulties to be overcome, there were many obstacles to be surmounted, before “Finis could be written to the undertaking, but the same spirit that bad acquired Belle Air, the same spirit that had built Villanova, that same spirit of dare and do triumphed in the beautiful Alumni Hall. Its dedication was made one grand gala day. Not since before the war had there been such demonstrations of class spirit. The day was chosen for the annual Freshman-Sophomore Football game; the Alumni Banquet was given in the gymnasium that occupies the ground floor of the east wing: there was a Dance in the evening—the otherwise idle hours of the day were devoted to class fights. The Juniors, of course, were in all of it, and fared probably no better, and certainly no worse than the others. In May of this V ear, the Vi llano va College Council (2288) of the Knights of Columbus was established. The first three Degrees of the Order were conferred on a class of candidates composed exclusively of college men. during this month. The Third Degree is still spoken of in knight hood circles, and those who were admitted on that occasion have bail a rare good fortune. Perhaps no other single thing in the history of the College has had such an immediate and far reaching effect on College activities. 28 Tin- establishment of the eouiteil supplied a want that has long been felt, that is, the need of one great big organization including the wlio-’e college, and in which all students can meet as brothers, be they engineers, classicals, philosophers or pre-meds. The Knights of Columbus do not dominate Col lege activities, but they are evident in everything that is done, and where anything at all is lacking, the knights are there to supply the want. There was but one dark cloud in the clear sky of June, the resignation of Professor Howland. Professor Howland bad won a friend in every stud «•lit,—to '22, he had become a near idol. Mis departure caused a bitter grief, but the memories he left with us, and the ideals lie gave us will a1 ways be amongst our most sacred treasures. June «•nee more brought with it the dream of every spring-fevered youth,—Vacation, yes, and this the last. Hut there was no vacation for Villanova. One more innovation that the class of '22 had the distinction of witnessing is the Summer School. After we departed, nuns from all Orders and from al! parts of the country began to arrive to attend the Villanova Summer School. And the co-ed, the very thought of whom would have shocked Villanova a decade ago, found her way hither. This class indeed has witnessed miraculous transformations. During this summer also, the School of Business Administration was created. A course in Radio Operation was added to the curriculum with Mr. Rafferty, (). S. A. as instructor. Two recreation rooms were outfitted in the basement; the Machine Shop was completely remodeled; the Dynamo Laboratory was moved from the basement into the west wing of the college huihling where formerly had been the Gymnasium; the Photometry Labora- tory was moved to the room behind the Dynamo Lab., and the old Photometry Lab. was converted into a Photography Laboratory. The Physics Labora- tory was moved from the Main Floor to the Second Floor into what was formerly the Library. The Electrical Testing Laboratory was enlarged to fill the entire north side of the Main Floor. A new reception room was furnished on the Main Floor; the Library was moved to the Monastery where more space was available; the Study Hall was converted into a Drafting Room; and the old Drafting Rooms were mad into Chemical Laboratories. The old Chemical Laboratories on the Main Floor were added to the Assay- ing Laboratory. Special mention must be made of Mr. Rafferty who «levoted all his time during the summer to enlarging and improving the Radio station in preparation for the coming school term. The college building was com- pletely repainted, many of tin- class-rooms were remodeled, and a tile-floor was laid in the corridor of the Main Floor. All these things were going on while we were away «luring the summer vacation months,—when we returned 20 during the summer vacation months,--when wc returned in September it was difficult to rc.'ognixc the school ns the one we had left in June. AM these improvements speak eloquently of the energy of those who were re- sponsible for them. The tendencies are toward a greater Villanova. hut sometimes the advances are so rapid, the changes become quite startling. Finally, after a very brief summer we found ourselves again hack at Villanova. now dignified Seniors. What a vast difference it makes. For the first time the Jong school year appear too short. Just a few months of study, just a few examinations, and wc leave Villanova forever. Involun- tarily, wc sometimes think,—this is the last time I II do this, or, this is tin last time I'll witness that. No matter how much we dislike doing a thing, if we have grown accustomed to doing it, the last performance of that act always brings with it a feeling of regret. Soon we will go out to represent Villanova. A grave responsibility lies on uss Four years we s|K-nt under her fostering care, and just as our bodily growth proceeds by almost infinitesimal in rements of tissue, so we have been growing, not by large dose.s of lessons and much reading of text hooks, hut hv small additions of strength-fibres to our character to make us strong, to our wills to make us will to be just, and to our hearts to tuak us want to love God and Truth, and to our intellects to make us, not know ing, but wise. The year has passed all too rapidly, mid here we are at graduation. W c have learned much from each other, we have both given ami received, and when we part, we part each to the other a debtor. 1 he real history of the Class cannot be written on the pages of a printed book, but it is written on the hearts of all of us, nnd just as we study history to trace cause from effect, and for guidance in future problems, let us from the history of our brief life here together, draw our inspirations to guide us in the future. —Charles A. Bel 30 Iftatnrg nf Athlrtirs nf thr (Hass of '22 WHF.X we take a retrospect of tile activities of our class during flu last four years, well may we he proud of our members for their participation in athletics. Those men have brought credit not only upon our class, hut also on Villanova, which means so much to us who have spent our college days under her guiding hand. NYc realize that in whatever sport they participated, football, baseball or basketball, they fought for Villanova, first, last and always. Our Sophomore year was not without its struggles on the gridiron. The annual game between the Sophomores and Freshmen was bitter and hard fought on both sides. The result was a tie score, but we feel that we should have been ,-onceded a moral victory. As we gaze down the line of men in our class who have won the covet- ed V,” we glow with pride and satisfaction that our numbers were great. Hugh McGcehan, perhaps, the cleverest athlete at Villanova in many a day, captained the Varsity Football Team in 1920. He did it in a manner becoming a true son of Villanova and we wish on this occasion to extend to him our deepest appreciation for his splendid work. NYc give due credit to F.Imer M. Hcrtzler, who captained the Varsity Football the following season. F.Imer has won his letter both in baseball and football, having stood behind the plate in many a bitter struggle. Joseph McCarthy will not soon be forgotten for his four years work which was concluded with the cap- taining of the Varsity Football squad of '21. Many of our members includ- ing Marty McDonald, Paul McNamara and Harold blanchfieM have distin- guished themselves both on the gridiron and diamond. Marty's efforts were rewarded by his teammates when he was chosen to load the Varsity Paschali squad for the season of 22. James Kennedy has held the office of President of the Athletic Asso- ciation for the past two years, and under his guidance the Association has surged forward in its work. Howard Thornburv managed the Varsity basketball of '21 '22, the second season for this sport. William O'Leary, who has been so active in every activity of worth at the College held the position of Manager of the Varsity baseball Team of '22. All the members of the class of '22 hope that those members of athletic ability will take the same interest in the affairs of life that they did while at Villanova. May they pursue their professions and business careers with the same indomitable spirit, which so splendidly characterized their days at Villanova. 31 MARTIN JOSEPH MacDONALD Waterbury.

He is what we might call our “systematic American for it is his usual custom to resolve all his undertakings down to a system; ami his system usually works and produces results as is indicated by his enviable record in class achievement. Charlie took up his residence at Villanova at the beginning of the Student Army Training Corps and in the interim between then and now, he has been prominently associated with all activities of the class and college. No assign- ment was too difficult for him and Ids very presence on a committee was sufficient enough to insure the proper functioning of that body. He lias chosen to lie a civil engineer and we are certain that he has chosen wisely not merely on account of his ability (for he was always then when it came to wading through the intricacies of engineering) but more on account of bis affable and inherent good nature and the ease with which he makes friends. Perhaps the day students realized this latter quality and accordingly honored him by choosing his room as their rendezvous. The very fact that lie can look at the catenary curve which his lied assumes occasionally as a con- sequence of a snjK r-im|)osed load of lazy humanity, and smile, convinces us of his good nature. Then were rumors of a romance at one time in t'harlie’s career but we never were able to glean the details. All we know is that he used to be promiscuous by his absence on certain nights. We have even detected him on certain occasions staring into space with a wistful look on his face and have drawn our own conclusions. Whatever of pleasure and profit then is in college life, Charlie extracted, and we certainly regret parting from him. 1'nselfish, modest, and of inimitable personality that’s lie and by these qualities you shall know him. No truer pal, no more devoted classman, no liner gentleman is there among us. We’re proud of him and wish him success in anything he may aspire to—la it engineering, love or otherwise. 33 rr' Varsity Football.

The first impression he made on his classmates was that he was a professor instead of a pupil. It could easily he seen he had experienced the weighty cares of this world. Serious yet pleasant and jovial his countenance overflowed with sunshine. Perhaps that accounts for his heavy I ward. With such outstanding features it certainly was hard to Iwlieve him. when he pro- claimed he was just eighteen and hud been such an active citizen of Buffalo. Just why Wilbert is saluted as “Duke” is quite a puzzle. The name may have been based on facts previous to his entrance at Yillanova, or it may have been the result of some instance which occurred since that memor- able date. At any rate it is a well known fact that the “Duke” held no small number of “Victor records before he came here and that bis “I'pright” air and “Grand polished manners were acquired selling pianos. Then again, the name “Duke” is always associated with an exceptionally well dressed ]H rson, hence a classmate wearing a derby hat and a light tweed suit just naturally falls into a Dukedom. “Duke always carries the natural position of Buffalo with him. Buffalo is the golden means between the East ami the wild and wooly West. When it is a question of athletics, however, the «wean on either side of Buffalo is the limit of his enthusiasm. If Kant's Theory of Time and Space were true, what victories the “Duke” would have won for Yillanova. His attendance at class has been perfect. The big problems of the day interest him greatly. When it is a ques- tion of the “Full dinner Pail” the Duke becomes a veritable William Jen- nings Bryan. In Knglish class he has acquired a reputation for his inter- pretation of Shakespeare. Sometimes he even out—Shakespeare's Shakespeare. Now that the time of parting is at hand, reluctantly do we release from our hearts the deep feeling there, which Wilbert has enkindled. We have found him always a firm friend and a kind classmate, one who by a witty word could turn sorrow into joy and make the most difficult task lightsome. .May- lie always lie as a silver lining among his fellowmen mill accomplish great things for them.

An earnest and consci- entious desire to learn all that is possible has caused Norton to become ex| crt in the art of asking questions. Ilis I don't see that.

Ilis nine years sjvent lien make him a valuable source of history, both past and present. Many amusing and interesting incidents can be recalled by this individual. Included among them is the time he attempted to set tire to the Academy building. Another time, because of a locked door barred his path. Art attempted to put his fist through it. For the latter incident, he received the title of The Terrible Tem|� cred Mr. Hang. Would that we could print what Piggy thinks of the authors of some of our text hooks, especially those which contain such expressions as the proof is left to the reader, or else, the proof is beyond the scope of this hook. Ilis Imlshevik tendencies have often aroused him to such an extent that he has assured us by all the gods that he will or will not do a certain thing, hut in the end, llort always comes across strong. This short sketch of Malone will Ik incomplete if mention of his weekly trips to Norristown were omitted. No matter what reason he gives for these journeys, the one thing we do know is that on one occasion, they were dis- continued for a space of three weeks, and in that time. Norton was afliictcd with the worst kind of blues. Arthur’s collegiate course will soon end, and we reluctantly part with him. Here’s hoping that when he returns to the coal regions, he will put into practice what he Inis learned at Yillanova, and as a result feel assured that his work will la- crowned with success. 57 WILLIAM ALOYSIUS O’LEARY Elizabeth, N.

His sincerity of action, his true and honest devotion to all that jM-rtains to the betterment of collegi life and education, his unquestionable loyalty and fidelity to his Alina Mater and his fellow students, and his un- quenchable humor and good will all combine in making us vividly realize that on the solemn day that we shall hear ‘the curfew tolls the knell of parting day we, the class of l!� J _ , arc bidding adieu to a loyal, a big-framed, big- hearted companion who will be well liked wherever he g«n s. and with whomso- ever he comes in contact. no Philadelphia, Pa.

Club of Villanova ¥ F onr wen to ask for Frederick Scitzinger onl a few of his intimate fellow students would realize that the inimitalde Fritz was being sought, for it is by this name that he is known and loved. Fritz ennie to Villanova with a smile and lusty lungs and four lonjr, and oftiines cruel, years have been unable to separate them from him. Ilis daily greetings to some of his friends could be heard for miles around. 1 his salutation, however, was reserved for a few of his chosen friends but the seo|H of his good nut tired smile included everybody s.i that now he is regarded as a sun' cure for the bines. Oftiines we will be seated in a class room for perhaps ten minutes and be well launched in the serious affairs of the day when the door creaks slightly, then o| cns slowly and a broad smile enters, followed by a nod and then Fritz. It is said that no stern faced l rof. can resist that combination, so Fritz takes his seat without admonition or repri- mand for his tardiness. Class is resumed and if an oral recitation is i norder, Fritz is iisualy prepared for the ordeal, but when it comes to writing, lie has a way all his own and sometimes he cannot even read it himself, for it looks like a series of Chinese laundry checks. Well. Fritz, we sincerely Iiojk that you retain your cheerfulness and hearty lungs for “Fifty More Years.” 61 JOHN JOSEPH SHEEHEY. JR ‘‘Doc” Crotch” Brooklyn. N. Y.

Its accomplishments have been many and it has held a high place both in tile social and sporting activities of the school. The o' ass of '28” showed its spirit of unity and eo operation from the time that they were first •fathered in a body, namely, upon the reception into the grand and exalted Order of “Hobble Gobble.” To this day that memor able night still lingers in the thought of all. According to College customs the f reshman had to wear their little b'ue and white skull caps. The class of ” '28 didn't take to this so a game of football was arranged in order to settle once and for all the supremacy of the two classes. The game was played December 8th, 11)1!), and it was the bitterest class struggle ever seen on the fair campus of Villanova. The battle waged up and down the fie.M throughout the game with neither team able to score. Both classes played clean, hard football and although the infirmary was occupied to a great e tent the next day no permanent injury occurred. The class of ’28” al- though unable to score, played a better brand of football and in the opinion of the entire student body won a moral vi lory. 'Phis marked the end of the b'ue and white skull cap. The men who played for the class of ” 28 on that day and won their numerals were: Wasilko, Ford, Jones, Duggan, l.uugli 1 i ii. Hyson, Burke, Stein. Lynch, Devine, Clark, Collins, MeNa'ly, and Vize. The team was coached by Rev. Francis A. Driscoll, O. S. A., now president of the college. Supremacy in football was not enough valor for the class of '28, so with the permission of the athletic Board, a basketball', team was formed and a fast schedule arranged. The team had great suc.'css in the floor game and it was the initial appearance of a Villanova College team on tin- floor. This! team met with such success that the following year basketball became a «7 major sport at Villanova. Much credit for the success in basket ball must lie given to the class of ’23” as may he evidenced hv the fact that three members of the Freshman basketball team made the varsity in 1922. These men were Loughlin, Gray and dones. The members of the class team were Gray, I.vncli, and Itiordun, forwards; Norman dones, center; Loughlin and Yize guards. I.aughlin and Gray are still mainstays of the Varsity basket- ball team. With the arrival of spring the class of “ 23 made their appearance on the diamond and a strong schedule was arranged by Manager Gerald Fagan. The team won all games played. Tile line-up of the baseball team was Ford, catcher; M. Lynch and Jones, pitchers; Cooke, first-base; Sullivan, second-base; Gray, short-stop; A. Lynch, third base; Clarke, I.aughlin and Vizc, outfielders. The fall of 1920 brought with it the return of the class of ’23,” now seasoned collegians. Tales of summer experiences were told and retold and the. beginning of the Sophomore year found the class more strongly united and with one principle, the betterment of Yillanova, first, last, and always. The incoming Freshmen were put through their paces upon tin ir recep- tion into the society of “Hobble Gobble, and owing to the extent of their initiation of the “Fresh were glad of the opportunity of wearing a skull cap. The usual Freshman-Sophomore football game was played with the Sophomores, the class of “ ’22” trouncing the Freshmen to the tune of 35-7. Hilly Ford and I.aughlin starred for “ ’23. The line-up for '23 was the same as the preceding year. In the early days of the Sophomore year, plans were made for the Annual Alumni Day at Villanova, and the gathering at that time promised to be the largest in the history of the college due in a large measure to the opening of Alumni Hal. I he day dawned with each class striving to enhance its merit ami to show to each Alumnus that college spirit at Villanova was especially in tense. Such an occasion proved to be the opportune moment for the class of 2.f to again show their uniqueness, bv causing an event, the plan for which had lain dormant in their minds for some time viz: a class fight, a thing practically unknown, but still one of those necessary evils which go towards inculcating and strengthening class unity—a doctrine which the class of ” 23 not only practiced but endeavored to preach. In line with the usual undertakings that marked the part played by the class of 23 during the day’s exercises, the fight was staged and brought to a strategic conclusion, and the end desired, was, wc belivc attained viz; 08 lo manifest to our diligent and active Alumni that with a few years their numbers would he considerably increased and strengthened with the kind of alumni that would tend to make for a bigger, better, tnd stronger VI 1.1.A NOVA. In the early Spring of ''’21” the class of ’2.'l” made its first social appearance at Villanova. The Sophomore Soiree proved to he the best event of tin- year. The proceeds were given to the athletic association. This donation proved to he the largest donation from any class in tin- his- tory «if the College. The big opportunity for the class of '2:1 to show its spirit and loyalty came on Commencement Day, June 10, 11)21, when a plaque was to be pre- sented to tin- class making the best showing on that occasion. The class of '23, led by President Matthew l.ynch, enterd into public demonstration with tin- same spirit it hail shown both socially and upon the athletic field, was awarded the plaque and in tin- opinion of the judges was justly deserving of the pri .e. This prize is now conspiciously placed in tin- main corridor of College Hal! and is the treasured prize of tin- Class of ‘23. The shield was publicly presented to Matthew l.ynch, as president of the class, by Rev. George O'Meara, vice-president of the college in Feb. 1922, and in his pre sentation speech he complimented the class of ’23 in glowing words for the great work it hail done since its arrival at Villanova. Shortly after the Christmas holidays the class of '2:) held their first real got together, at their monster smoker in tin- college auditorium. Father llranton was the guest of honor. The smoker was a huge success and tended to perfect a stronger union among the class. Father Brnnton proved to hi- a very talented guest, and entertainted with humorous anecdotes and well rendered selections. Solos were also rendered by John Hyson and Christopher McNally. The evening was voted one we.M spent and a rising vote of thanks was tendered to Father Hruntou for his courtesy in attend- ing the first gathering of the class of “ '23 as a unit and for the splendid entertainment he provided. The Junior Prom was held Friday, April 21, and it even surpassed the affair of the class in their Sophomore year. The College gymnasium was beautifully decorated under tile leadership of Charles H. I.aughlin, chairman, who was ably assisted by Herbert M. I.anglois, I.eo V. Devine, Phineas Vi� e and Charles H. MeClernan. Suitable favors were distributed amt an enjovable evening was bail by all. The members of the senior class were the guests of the class of “ ’23” for the evening.

Pouts were staged between Pickett vs. Finn, and I.aughlin vs. O Tcra, and, needless to say, it put some life” into the men who only cn gaged themselves as onlookers.

Class Day. The Class fight between the Sophomores and the Freshmen ensued and, for some time, it was an even fight till the undying and untiring zeal and perseverance of the Class of 1021, made the freshmen victors of the fight. We immediately discarded our Freshmen caps and took upon ourselves the dig nitv of Sophomores. When Villanova was honored by the presence of Cardinal Dougherty at the Commencement Exercises. the Class of I!121 made a wonderful display. Although the banner was not awarded to us. we were judged, by certain authorities who were onlookers, to have had an ingenious and unique dis play. Then the shaking of hands, as a token of farewell, took place and we wished one another the happiness of having the opportunity to be together at Villanova for our Sophomore year, and our wish came true (with the exception of a few members who did not return). Our sophomore year had come to pass. What joy filled Us no one can fully express, or as Byron put it. What I can ne’er express, yet cannot all conceal. The officers of the Sophomore class were: Paul McCloskcy...................................... President Andrew McCann.................................. Vice-President Walter Hiordan ..................................... Treasurer Charles Gaffney .................................... Secretary Francis Fleming ............................... S'g't.-at-Arms and the Sophomore Viligant Committee was composed of the following members of the class: William O'Donnell—Chairman Joseph Boyle Walter Hiordan The Varsity Letter-men of whom the Class of 1021 is justly proud and whom she claims to be her own, are men, and what is more, they are gentle- men, and by their demeanor they have won the esteem of their classmates. The Letter men are: Football 7ii Cratty Joseph Connolly Herman O’Brien Francis Pickett Basketball Karl Gray Francis Pickett, Captain Baseball Harold Meador Gustave Gomez I lermaii O’Brien John Ryan Sydney Sweeney John Ryan Sydney Sweeney A Smoker for the mem hers of the Sophomore class was held in the col- lege recreation room several days after the Ides of March. The eiass was well represented during the evening and the programme of entertainment far surpassed that of last year, and since the Class of 192t claims Tommy O'Malley, the boxer of no mean repute, as one of its members, boxing was a feature of the evening. The bouts were: O'Malley vs. Sweeney Cronin vs. Connolly Mel.an ii vs. Pickett Remarks were made by President MeCloskev, and Charles Gaffney, the Secretary, gave a short but interesting talk to the members of the class. Daniel Hughes showed great skill at the piano while Theodore O'Tcra and John Collins did the fiddling, with Robert Sullivan playing the banjo ukulele. O’Tcra is an accomplished violinist and amusement or entertain- ment is never lacking when Ted is around. Whalen. Hinchy, Pickett, and Cronin sang during the evening, and it is of t heir audience. Richard O'Brien took advantage of the opportunity afforded him, to exhibit his novelty dance, and was very successful. The dance was an in- genious one and it was original. Robert ( Reds) F.vans, the Stewed cut” Prof., gave a humorous speech entitled, A Dissertation on the Student Body. It was exceedingly humor inis, to say the least, since Robert himself was an outstanding example of the student which he attempted to portray. Theodore Rcimcl spoke on, A Dissertation on the Fluctuations of the Flappers.” Conway featured dur- ing the evening by giving an impersonation of an Ethiopian. The basketball victory of the Sophomores over the Freshmen to the tune of 27 to 21, is well worthy of note. The players on both teams played extraordinarily well, and the Freshmen team kept the Sophomores in the game until the final toot of the referee’s whistle. 77 The. line-up was ns follows: Sophomores Bittner...................

The dance was given amidst a pro- fusion of Orange and Black, the Class Colors, and a wonderful programme was arranged. The dance was a success and a credit to the Class of 1921. 7d (b 3Fr?flljmatt CElauis l tatory NI N !•, niontlis have elapsed since we descended upon X'illanova and asserted ourselves as Freshmen. Like the varied-colored leaves of Autumn we blew in, attired in various hues of gaudy colors, trick suits, knickers, and so forth. To the upper classmen some of us appeared arrogant and over-hearing, others cringing and submissive and we were soon compelled to suffer the ignominies of the Hobble Gobble. The hellish atroei tii-s which they perpetrated upon us rendered most of us meek and humble. After the humiliation of the Hobble Gobble and other incivilities and indignities accorded to us by the upper classmen, we remembered that old adage; In union there is strength. We banded ourselves under the capable leadership of John Finn, the football star, as our President. “Keels Livings- ton, was elected Vice-President: Gene Kennedy, Treasurer, and Thomas P. Fox, Secretary. Finn found it necessary to leave the school later, and Reds Livingston succeeded him to the Presidency, and Dan McLaughlin was elected Vice-President. Father O’Meara, vice-president of the college, addressed us at our first meeting, which honor we accepted as a unique manifestation of the high regard in which wo were held by him. We also regarded it further as an index of the very favorable impression which we created and sustained by our later activities. We modestly venture the statement that X'illanova has every reason to feel proud and elated over the noble class of ’25 which made its debut in the autumn of '21. XVe are a representative assemblage hailing from the four corners of the country, from the Canal Zone and Cuba as well. From the ex- treme southwest we have 'Fed O’Tcra, the lone star ranger from New Mexico. From the sunny south we have the honorable J. Tabb Fisher, while from the wilds of Maine and New Hampshire we have a large representation. The other isolated New F.ngland states are also represented and we are com- pelled, every day, to listen to people who gorget that there is an R in the Knglish alphabet and still believe that Boston is the Huh of the Cniver.se’ rather than the backwoods of New England. Many surprises were in store for these cultured New Englanders, chief among which was to find the supposed- to-be “uncouth coal 'crackers lar superior in culture and accomplishments. As n typical representative of the east we point to that Jersey mosquito “Tiny Hyan. From such a eoneoiir.se of people it is only natural that great things should evolve. Many of the college clubs owe their existence to the initiative of the 'Freshmen Class, such as the Jersey and the Anthracite ( luhs. I he tidings unintentionally reached our ears that we are the liveliest class that ever entered Villnnova. Far he it from us to throw bouquets at ourselves, or accept such flattery, but when confronted by facts which corroborate the statement we are modestly compelled to accept it as true. It is pointed out that last year Y’illanova enjoyed its most successful year in athletics. This we are eom| clled to believe was in a large measure due to tile athletes from the Freshmen Class. Kricg, a freshman, is the only man in the school who has starred, and reeived a letter in the three major sports. The freshman class have representatives in every major sport in the college, and many of these were first string men such as ( ratty, Grcely, ami Finn. The teams of the Inter-Fraternity League were also eomposed largely of freshmen. In the annual “Fresh. vs. Sophomore football game, we eon quered the Sophomores, and cvcngcd the ignominotis disgrace of the Hob- ble Gobble. It was a sail sight for the upp« r classmen to see the bodies of our friendly enemies, the men who had accorded Us such barbarous treat ment during our initiation, trampled low, and bleeding in the mud of Villa nova’s campus. Apart from the distinguished part which we played in atlih tics, we an- also unique in other respects. It is whis|K rcd that we are above the average freshman in scholarship, but since this is only hearsay, we will not deliberate upon it. M c also possess unique individuals and in many respects the .’lass re semblcs a side show. We have Peep Sheehan, the circus barker, present ing the freaks, monstrosities, and curiosities of the class. Yank Young fleish, the dog trainer, whose room is a kenne- and a refuge for all homeless canine. ( ornclius Hyan, the fat man, who weighs no more than six bund red ((� 00) pounds.

Gone Kennedy, singing bar, bar Away (The safest place for a person with a voice like his). The inimitable J. Tadd Fischer in southern dances. Sul livan. the impersonator of profs. Frauds Moroney. the boy wonder from Philiipsburg, in songs. In the social realm, the freshman class was also very active. At the various class smokers held during the year, the above characters contributed to the merriment by the entertaining manner in which they demonstrated 8-i their unusual talents. Tlie Freshman Da nee was also a banner even! � f the season. In all the events of tin college, the enthusiastic spirit of the freshman class lias liehl the predominant note, and the success ot many of the en deavors of the college is largely attributed to us. In the ensuing years we hope to )K-rpetuate and magnify that noble spirit which we demonstrated in this, our tirst year at Villanova. We believe we have caught the spirit of Villanova. at least wc have found that Villanova means more to us than a beautiful campus and masses of greystone heaped high and moulded into spacious buildings by the skilful hands of labor. We feel an inexpres- sible something which for the lack of a better term we sho-M have to call. I .ON' K Foil VI 1.1. A NOVA. We hope that the glorious tilings which we have accomplished and the noble class spirit which we also modestly exemplified will be an incentive to the freshman class of next year. We earnestly desire that they will set a pace more worthy of emulation than the glorious strides which we have made for Villanova. 83 Jmithall (1921) Joseph A. McCarthy, Captain THE YEAR I92l will always stand out prominently in the history of Athletics at Yillanova as the year which marked the turning point in the trend of football activity. It was a year of organize tion, a year which was characterized by systematic training and develop- ment, careful and expert coaching, unselfish and enthusiastic support. In reviewing the season casually there stands out dominantly that lighting spirit of each and every member of the squad, that unquenchable d termin ation which was instilled into them from the outset by their brilliant coach, 85 Allii’ Miller. It is to him that all credit is due for the development of a splendidiv organized and efficient team, a team of which illanova and all her sons arc proud and tin members of which, we of 1922, do heartily con- gratulate. We can pay them no higher compliment than our recognition of them as men and true sons of Villanova, worthy of the best their Alma Mater can give. The task which confronted Allie Miller at the beginning of the sea- son was a difficult one. lie had a large number of candidates, of varying degrees of ability so that the outlook from this angle was promising. Im mediately he plunged into the work of separating the more capable from Un- less and in this phase of the work he showed that his judgment seldom erred. When the season was about a week old, three separate and distinct squads were being drilled in such things as they were found wanting. It was not very long before the squads began to show the results of efficient coaching, they had begun to take on form and their daily practices seemed to have become impregnated with Pep.” In this manner tin- training progressed until, on October the first, tin- first actual tryout was staged at Collcgcvillc against the Ursinus eleven. Whatever defects were possessed by the team became apparent in this contest; the good and bad points likewise came to the surface. The follow ing men were in this first line up: McCarthy, center; Pickett, left guard, (ireclv, left tackle; Krieg. right tackle; Hertzlcr, right end; Lynch, left end; Cronin, quarterback; Finn, right half-back; Hlanebficld. left half back; McGradv, full-back. Two field goals by Finn accounted for the only score of the game. McGradv consistently gained through the opposing line until forced to retire on ae ount of injury. McDonald filled his place well. The thing that stood out boldly in this game was the solidity of the line, two first downs constituting the results of the efforts of I’rsinus. This actual tryout of the team had demonstrated its weak points, find a noticeable improvement was evidenced the following Saturday at Chester, when the Varsity crushed the Pennsylvania Military College eleven, in a contest which proved the superiority of the well-coached Varsity. The work of the pony hackficld stood out in this, their second game. McGradv, Hlanehfield, linn. Cronin, consistently gained ground through line piling ing and off-tackle plays. The following week was spent in preparing intensively for the Ford ham match. It was an eager, expectant and slightly nervous squad, which journeyed to New York on the fifteenth of October. And in passing we might mention that that same squad left behind them a student body who were extremely eager and expectant and whose spirit was keyed to a high HG pile'll. I lio.se who witnessed this game were treated to all the thrills and ex ‘ding episodes of a hard fought content; they saw the Villanova squad thrice cross the goal line of their opponents, they saw a fighting team with all the grit and spirit possible, plunge through the Fordham defense time and again; and in the last quarter they saw a concurrence of happenings which was disappointing in the extreme. It was hardly to he expected with mod ern management and regulations. The game was allowed to proceed, how ever, after darkness had descended upon the field and as a result of this nil usual procedure several disputes arose which marred the remainder of the quarter. The Fordham aggregation laimed a touchdown which would have given them the better end of the score, but it was not allowed by the referee, (’ratty distinguished himself excellently in this game bv recovering fumbles. McCirody starred in the backfield. Tile spirit and grit of the squad was strikingly illustrated on tin- Mon dav following this game. Not a man failed to report for practice even though it was a positive hardship for some to perform their daily drills. The fourth consecutive victory was achieved at Washington, on the 22nd of October, when Catholic I’niversitv went down to defeat in a loosely played contest, featured by a punting duel between McGradv and Lynch of C. l Had the game not been marred by so many fumbles, Villanova would have scored heavily. As it was, the only touchdown of the day was accomplished by Finn in the last quarter, on a “fake” play from tin- .‘10 yard line. It must be said to the credit of Catholic L’niversity that they played well and succeed «■cl several times in effectively stopping the “pony backfield. It was not until the next week that the strength and organization of the Varsity brought notice to the team. Lebanon Valley was met and van- quished at the Stockade, Norristown, Fa., by the overwhelming score of H-7. Perhaps the presence of their fellow-students, perhaps other consid- erations were instrumental in putting so much fight into the team. At any rate, after Lebanon had scored their solitary touchdown, there never was any doubt as to the outcome. In the second period 28 points were scored by Miller’s proteges. In the last period, the first string men were withdrawn from the field and the remainder of the game was played by a squad entirely different from that whioll started the game. Mickey Hlanehfield starred fertile Varsity as did likewise F.d. McGradv, Cronin, and “Mickey O’Hricn. The Student body turned out en masse on this day and Norristown was enlivened temporarily after an injection of some Villanova pep.” A parade through the city was staged after the game. In the next game, that against the Army, the Varsity suffered the only defeat of tlu- season. It is to lx regretted that conditions were so unfavor able on the day of this match. Had the weather been different and the field dry, there is not the shadow of a doubt but that the team would have succeed- ed in withstanding the onslaught of the much heavier and better equipped Ary eleven. It was impossible, under the circumstances, for oura compara- tively light back field to get away quickly; the muddy field prevented the securing of a firm foothold so that the arsitv were obviously enmeshed in a net of disappointing circumstances. After the result of this game, it was natural to expect a shattered morale, a damaged spirit among the squad. Rather the opposite was apparent. The team recoiled from its setback quickly and on Saturday, November 5th, de- bated Gettysburg. I.'J-IO, at York, l a., before an assemblage of 5000. Krieg played excellently in this contest as did Cronin, Lynch, Finn, and Bl.anch- field. Gettysburg was the first to score by a goal from placement. Finn scored both touchdowns for Villanova. On Saturday, November 19th, the Canisius eleven was engaged at Huffalo. The game was fought to a scoreless tie in a sea of mud and in a steady downpour. It was one of the most bitterly fought contests ever wit- nessed in the Bison City. Darkness encircled the field while both teams were desperately attempting to score. Villanova had brought the ball as close to the opponents' goal as the one yard line, but was unable to score. Here again, the elements prevented the Varsity from exerting their normal strength. As a fitting climax to a practically ideal season, the Varsity crushed the husky mountaineers representing Mt. St. Mary's College at Villanova, on Thanksgiving Day. At the start of the game “Mickey'' O'Brien, evaded the opposing lads, and made a sensational run of sixty yards, scoring the only touchdown of the game. The game as a whole was a contest featured by a close struggle to secure first downs. 'Pile condition of the field, however, was such ns to render ground gaining difficult. 83 1921 Football Team Villanova's Fir� t Basketball Five 1921 Basket Hull Team Daskct iBall l;rank Pickett, Captain WI1KN coach “Mike” Saxe sounded his call for basketball candidates this year, the results were most encouraging. In addition to Cap- tain Pickett, Kyan, Gray, I.ougldin, and Sweeney, letter men of last year, Krieg, Franeella, Lynch, and Conway were retained. In the opening game of the season, the Varsity entertained Hahnemann Medical College, at Villanova, on December 17th. The game was fast and interesting, although the visitors were no match for the well coached Villa nova squad. The final score was .15-10. 02 The strong Catholic University live fell victims to the Blue and White combination at Villanova, on Tuesday, December 20th. The game was close lv contested by both teams and as a result many exciting long shots were registered. W hen the final whistle sounded, Villanova was on the long end of a 25-23 score. The Varsity journeyed to Weightman Hall, on January 7th. for its hardest struggle of the season. The l of l Tram which captured the Inter Collegiate title last season was practically intact, having the same five with the exception of Dan McXiehol. Villanova took the lead in the beginning, on Ryan's free throw, and in tin second half they were again leading. The enforcement of tin- personal foul rule eliminated Ryan and I.oughlin. thereby weakening the chances of the Varsity for victory. Villanova was beaten by hut four points. On January 1 1-th, after the brilliant showing against the I , of I’ quintet, the Varsity met Temple University five at Villanova, and were victorious. Villanova rolled up more points in tin- course of the first half than did Temple during the entire game. Captain Pickett with six field goals was the star of the evening, Griffin accounted for the few field goals credited to the Temple Quintet. A victory which was by no means earned was accorded to Georgetown University, on January 19th. at Washington. The battle was hard fought by tin Villanova hoys hut to no avail. Time after time fouls were called on the men for which the officials could give no satisfactory explanation. Ac cording to the consensus of opinion among the sport writers of the Capital the better team was not the winning team. At final time the score was 38-31. On January 2. th, tin- Varsity met and vanquished St. Joseph's College, at Villanova. The game was slow ami uninteresting except for a very short period before the close of the game, when Gray tallied twice from the field. This practically ended the game for it gave the Varsity a lead which St. Joe's could not overcome. The final score was 21-18. The Varsity started on the last lap of the schedule on Feb. 1st. The game was played with Ursinus at Collcgcville. Villanova won the game handily, 29-28. Krieg was the real star of the game; he counted five times from the field. Ryan hv his ability to throw from the fifteen foot mark, also kept Villanova in the scoring column. The third reversal of the season came on Feb. tth, when the Varsity journeyed to West Point. The cadets, confronted bv the defensive system of the Villanova squad, were for a time baffled. I.ate in the game they were able to solve this difficulty and rolled up quite a comfortable score. The Va-- 93 ah’ sitv shown! flashes of great skill at several stagex of tin game. but were mi able to over-come the Army's lend. In a return game with Temple University, at Philadelphia, on I'ch.llth, the Varsity was again victorious. Temple could not fathom the defense and consequently were unable to score from the field during the entire first half, and but twice during the second half. Pickett and Krieg were the bright spots of the game. LafFcrty due to his ability as a foul shooter managed to keep Temple in the score column. On Washington's birthday. Ursinus came to Villanova. 'Phis time they were beaten more decisively than in their first encounter with the Varsity. Ursinus was completely outclassed during the first half of tin game, but dur- ing the second half, due mainly to long shots, they managed to creep upon tin Varsity, and tin final score I shows clearly just how hard they fought In the course of the game every man on the Varsity scored at least once from the field. The annual basket ball game between the Varsity and the Alumpi was played in Alumni Nall, on Friday evening, February 17, I? 22. The older boys put forth a fine brand of basket ball, but their ambition overcame their physical condition and on several occasions they were for cd to call time. The wild” shooting of Charlie MeGuckin and Cliieh Mel.oughlin added much to the evening’s entertainment. In the final home game of the season, the Varsity nosed out the much heralded Lebanon Valley College quintet. This game was by far tin best staged on the home court. Lebanon's inability to solve tin Varsity defense made it necessary for them to resort to long shots. Many were spectacular and added much to tin excitement of the game. Score 88-82. In a return game with St. Joseph's on their court, March I Ith, 1922, our clever passing, accurate shooting quintet completely baffled tin Quaker City passers by tin score of 28-26. The outstanding features of this game were the machine like smoothness of Villanova’s team play and tin high scoring power of Jack Rvan, forward and foul shooter. With but eight minutes remaining to play, Karl Gray was injured and forced to leave the game. The team .seemed demoralized and within a few moments St. Joe’s rolled up fifteen points while Villanova was able to score only two. At this juncture Gray returned to the game and from then on it was all Villanova. The last game of the season was played on Mar. 8th, at Annvillc, against Lebanon alley C ollege. Only two of the letter men were in the line-up. The others due to illness did not even make the journey to Annvillc. The substitutes however played sterling basket ball and held the powerful Leban on team to a comparatively low score. 04 The .season past was most successful. The Varsity encountered some of the fastest College eleven in the Hast and were defeated on only three oe- eosions. With the present team intact, and the improvement of second string men, everything points to an even more successful season of { 1922 Baseball Squad IBasrbnU (1U22) 1 1 IF. 1922 Baseball squad made its official debut on March I Hh, when the initial call for candidate was sounded by Coach McGee han. About thirty prospective players reported for practice, includ- ing a few of last year’s veterans: Captain “Marty McDonald, A1 Hertzler. O'Donnell, Connolly, Cronin, Ryan, O'Brien, Sweeney and Meador. Tin- new aspirants are: Bradley, Clifford, Krieg, Minniek, Duggan, doling, Savre and John Dora. 97 .Jus! wliat the season will bring is rather difficult as a result of the loss oi some of last year’s Varsity, whose ahsenee will undoubtedly be keenly ti lt. The out field has lost Amby’’ Brennan and Frank Robinson who wi re not only consistent fielders, but also dependable sluggers. The infield has lost (ionic ., who had acquitted himself very favorably during the '20 and ’21 seasons. This season's pitching staff is composed of Sweeney and Mender, vet ernns of last year, Duggan, who made an excellent showing for Brooklyn Prep. last season, Minniek, who was one of the best pitchers in the Cntho'ic League last year, Sayre, of Hartford, Conn, and McLaren, who came to us from the Army this year. Captain McDonald will fill his regular position as catcher, and should occasion arise, Hcrt dcr, a veteran, Dora and Clifford will be ready to serve in that capacity. First-base is guarded by Tom O'DonncP.. whose improved hitting marks him as a valuable asset to the team. There is some competition as to who will hold down second base. The probable ehoi.-e is Bradley, who has won the commendation of the coach by his snappy fielding and hitting. Williams is tin- other competitor. Short step will be guarded by .Jack Ryan, a veteran, lie acquitted himseif very brilliantly at this position last year. Mickey O'Brien regular third baseman, was injured early in tin- season. At present his place is being filled by Dora, who adapted himself very readily to the position. The outfield is composed of new men with the exception of Connolly, who is guarding left field. .Jack's fleetness of foot has made him a depend able p’aver in this capacity, and it is very seldom that an error is recorded against him. Kricg and Ford are contending for «enter field ami they nre so equally mat-died that no prediction can be made as to the likely choie« I he e« ni|H‘titors for right field are Mit« hcll ami Clifford, formerly of George town.

Last year, and the early part of this year, much interest has been manifested by the students along the lines of inter class bouts. This interest was fostered by the authorities at various times, boxers of note in Philadelphia, many of fact of inter national fame, have given exhibitions at illanova. Young Jack O'Brien of Philadelphia, who has met some of the best in tin- lightweight class, name'y Leonard, Tcndler, and Tiplitz. has given many exhibitions at school. Johnny Mealy, brother of tommy O Malloy, who has been fighting his way to the top, has delighted the students by his clever boxing, and there is no doubt in our minds that lie 100 is clever, and sonic day in tlu near future, we look to Johnny to give a good account of himself. I he illanova ( oun.-il of the Knights of Columhus has e |H nded no small etfort in securing bouts, for the School. The work has been adopted and furthered by the Council in no small degree, and by its splendid efforts, many happy hours have been arranged. We take this opportunity to express our deepest appreciation to the Council for its splendid spirit in this work. However, not content with class bouts, our early efforts have grown, and recently four of our boxing team were entered in the Middle Atlantic Amateur Association Bouts. A process of elimination was used, and the winners of the bouts were claimed champions. Those entered were: Paul l.ongua, light licaxy weight; (icorge Burns, featherweight; Tommy O'Mai ley, lightweight; and I1'rank Pickett, heavyweight. The bouts were held at Olympia A. A., Philadelphia, on March JSth, and Mar.-li .'50th. ViLla- uova was fortunate in having two champions. Tommy O'Malley, winning the lightweight championship, while Prank Pickett was awarded the heavy- weight title. Villanova was extremely fortunate in having such men re-pre- sent her in the roped arena, and we extend to them our appreciation. OJljnmaa (0'iflalli'H Thomas O’Malley, ISMS National Amateur boxing champion, lias r- cciitlv eonu into our midst as a member of the Junior Class. Tommy holds high honors as an amateur boxer. Tommy held the national amateur light weight championship in I!)IS, won in Boston bv defeating Arnold Thorn- berry, Pittsburgh district champion, and Sam M os berg. New York champion, who later won the world’s championship in the Olympics. In 1920 he was captain of the University of Pennsylvania boxing team, and won the Inter coJlcgiate lightweight championship without losing a single bout, stopping the majority of his opponents. While representing Yillanova at the Middle Atlantic Amateur Boxing Bouts, lie won the light-weight championship by a splendid knockout. We wish you luck. Tommy in the future, and hope you knock them all.

We have our frater nities, hut they an- rather department organizations, whose end is to hind together the members of a department, and to promote the work and tin in tcrests of that department. The Phi Kappa Pi of the Engineers, and the Epsilon Phi Theta of the Classical� are the o'dest organizations of the institution, antedating by many years, the others. The Phi Kappa Hi has much to he proud of, and it has many traditions to uphold. Its annals, tilled with achievements of the past, nppall the man newly elected to olHce,—it is a grave duty he assumes, to -ontinuc the work so as to hand down a less brilliant record to the succeeding generation of students. The initiantion of a large class of new men occurred at Easter. It is tin regulation of the society to admit only those engineering students who are in proven good standing. Those who survive the Freshman Mid-Year exams and re-exams, prove themselves eligible and are admitted to the fraternity shortly after. Following the initiation, as has been the custom, a banquet is given to them, just to soothe their shattered nerves, ami a'lay their aroused” spirits. The Phi Kappa Pi team representing the School of Technology, won the Inter-School Basketball1 League Championship. I he honor was a closely contested one; although the Engineers won every game but one, all the scores were close, ami the title was a well deserved one.

TAB of '21 '22 proved to be replete with activities, in tin- early history of the Lambda Kappa Delta. At the institution which was held in the early Tall, nearly fifty new members were admitted. 'Pile orientation of membership was accompanied by the introduction of the new members into the se ret and sacred rites of the Order. Knthusiasm was manifested throughout the performance of the ceremony. With the lapse of a short time, the athVtic ability ol many of the new members was displayed, as was evidenced by tin- creditable showing of the football Jteam under tin- able management of .fames Dcrwin. Before tin football season had drawn to a close, the basketball quintet had acquired the unity of team work that accounted for their later success. Coach I.yueli always put forth a fast five from the following candidates: Dempsey, Bittner, Lawler, Crowley, McCann. Shea, l.avev, Williams. Me N el is, and Daugherty. The successful career on the basket ball floor instilled greater en thusiasm for the baseball nine which made its appearance at the first sign of Spring. Coach McNamara faced the great problem of choosing nine men from about thirty five spirited devotees. The results s)H‘ak well for our coach, and furnish conclusive evidence that the Lambda Kappa Delta nth letic powers will be long remembered in the annals of Villanova history. The track and tennis teams were equally favored, the former under Coach Dignam, the latter under the guidance of Coach Shay. Alumni Hall, appropriately decorated for the occasion in the Society's colors of Red and Black, was the scene of the Dance held January 22nd. which instance afforded unique entertainment to the multitudinous joy seekers, and furnished a phrasing novelty to the devotees of tin I erpsiehor can Art in the form of a Paul Jones. The untiring efforts of Chairman 117 Shay, ably assisted by James Purcell, Richard O'Rricn, Henson Hittucr, and Kdward Dianam insured the success of the Dance. The society’s Club Rooms were formally opened near the close of the second semester. The solemnity of the occasion was marked by a banquet given in honor of the graduating members of the Pre-Medical School. Presi- dent Dempsey presented to the society a handsome Victrola’in behalf of the members entering upon their advanced medical studies. The comedy “A Million in It,” was staged by the Dramatic Club of the society, and proved a verv entertaining, and laugh-prodliving performance on the part of the members ill attendance. liu knights of (Enlumlmo FROM the very first traces of civilization, there are seen, here and there, efforts on the part of various pcojdc to form themselves into distinet units of society. Whenever a number of individuals find themselves with the same ambitions, the same ideals, enduring the same hardships, or making the same sacrifices, their tendency has been toward centralization, and to bind themselves together by a common tie. It was this tendency, together with an effort to render pecuniary aid to a gricf-strick en widow, that lead to the formation of the first council of America’s frater nal organization, the well named, “Flower of the Church, the Knights of Columbus. It was tin latter part of tin nineteenth century that eleven men, four of whom are still living, made application for, and received a Charter from the State of Connecticut. This small, apparently insignificant unity «f society grew steadily and with rapid strides, until it expanded into what we see today of this great Order—eight hundred thousand men bound to gethcr with the same praise worthy ideals and principles which gave rise to the small unit of society of which they are now a part. The function of the Knights of Columbus is to form a unit of society for those who would be actively engaged in the service of Church and State, even as the great patron of tile Order, Christopher Columbus. It is the community of those who would practi.i practical charity. The motto of our Alma Mater is Veritas, Unitas, Caritas’’-—Truth, Unity, Charity. Mere , then, are two great institutions having in com- mon the same ideals' and same principles following along parallel lines of endeavor. With these facts in view, it was deemed fitting that these two exponents of Christian principle, should join hands to the end that one might aid and support the other, and efforts were made to accomplish this in tin- form of having a Council of the K. of C., established here at Villanova. These efforts were crowned with success ami on the night of June 1th the First and Second Degrees were excntplficd to about sixty-five students of Villanova. On Sunday afternoon. June 7. 1921, these efforts were culmin- ated when Villanova College Council No. 2288 was offi.ially instituted. This was on the occasion of the exemplification of the Third Degree In- District Deputy Lenny. District Deputy of the seventeenth district of Pennsylvania, of which district this council is a member. This occasion ISO vV was further graced l� y tin presence of tin Supremi Knight of the Orcle . Sir .lames (. Flaherty. In the conferring of the Major Degree, District Deputy Lenny was ably assisted by tile members of the Philadelphia Degree Team. If their work can be gauged by the voiced sentiments of the sev'eral hundred s|� eetators, and the candidates themselves it was a pronounced success. A. I pou the institution of the Council, the following officers were elected, (•rand Knight, (has. II. McGechan; Deputy («rand Knight. Harold K. Blanchficld; Warden, Ear! Southcc; Financial Secretary, John S. Sweeney. Recording Secretary, James M. Kennedy: Chaplain. Rev. Fating A. Dris coll, O. S. A.; ChanecMpr and Lecturer, Rev. G. A. O'Meara, (). S. A.: Treasurer. Rev. .1. K. Hyson, (). S. A.; Trustees, Joseph A. McCarthy, Rev. .1. A. Sparrow O. S. A.. Rev. J. S. O’Leary, O. S. A.; Advocate, James Pur cell; Inside Ouard, Charles Loughliu; Outside Guard, Frank Pickett. The probability that a Council would he a benefit to the College soon became a fact. As for the remaining question as to whether the College- lias been beneficial to the order, we will leave others to answer in their graeiousness. For the former we will say that the Council through the meet ings and other functions have provided the nc essary diversion not only for the members, but for the entire student body. The first social function, con- ducted on an elaborate scale was in the form of a Dinner-Dance. This was a pronounced success and all indications are that it will he an annual event. In the conducting of this function we were encouraged by the presence of such hosts and hostesses as Mr. and Mrs. James K, Flaherty, Mr. and Mrs. Charles 1). McAvov, of Norristown;. Mr. and Mrs. M. F. Quinn, of Over- hrook, and Prof, and Mrs. John S. Sweeney. The Council has not yet reached its first anniversary, but like tin order itself it has made rapid strides. It has a membership of about 150, and a large class ready for the third degree. By the time the Villanova College Council has reached its second anniversary, the hopes are that the student hodv will be 100 per cent. K. of C. What the future holds for our Council, we are not able to sav. If the ability and energetic efforts of our officers can be taken as a means of gauging the success of the Council, it bids fair to b come one of the foremost Councils in the state. That it will continue to make the same rapid strides as it did in its first year is the desire of our every member. J. 121 — Lawrence Club Hauimtrr (Hub Officers Joseph A.

MeXalley Nicholas Young Frederick Griffin Thomas McCarthy James Walsh James Griffin Charles Mitchell IT HAS often been a question of dispute whether the name of this body is The Villanova Club of Lawrence or The Lawrence Club of Villa nova, —the solution is probably the only correct one. When at Villanova, it is the Lawrence Club of Villanova, and when at Lawrence, it is the Villanova Club of Lawrence. The tenacity with which its members hang together has been the secret envy and tile dis pleasure of others ever since the first two Lawrence men arrived here. There has probably never been here a group of fellows with greater loyalty to each other, and with a more sinceri devotion to their Alma Mater. And the Villanova Club of Lawrence is for good reason, an object of jealousy to the Yale Club, and the Harvard Cub, and the Princeton Club, and the Clubs of other large colleges. Its effective campaign (not a planned one, but one that is continually operative from the love for Villanova, and pride for Villanova, of its members) of boosting Villanova is readily evident from a perusal of the register of the college. In 1918 there were six listed from Lawrence; today there are twenty-five, and inference, based on preliminary symptoms, is that next September there will be a further increase in the expansion rate.” It has grown to be the custom of the Club to give a Dance at Lawrence during the Christmas Holidays. The practice was inaugurated in 1920 123 wlirn tlii' affair, though it was tin very first of its kind, was quite tin- equal of tin- most lirilliaiit event of the season; in 1921, it by far on (classed all tile others in every detail. The nature of next year’s xueccss ean easily be anticipated. As a result of these activities in Lawrence, Yillanova has been given the prominence she so well deserves. It is had policy, we are always taught, “to hide the light under a bushel”— it is sometimes difficult, how- ever, to bring forth the light. This task has been, and is being successfully performed by the Y’illanova Club of Lawrence, not by a lot of talk and noise, but by the action and the lives of its members. , At Villanova, the club always joined whole-souled in the college ac- tivities. Its members are always in evidence on committees, its united help is always appreciably felt in the various enterprises, its representatives arc winning their laurels on the athletic field. Lor the last two seasons, its members have captained our Varsity football team. To a man tin arc Knights of Columbus. The Club is doing much to help Yillanova, it wants to do more, and it is striving to its utmost abilities, to do it. The past is good, the present is the best possible, and the future—well, let us hope that dreams come true. President Nice-President Secretary Treasurer OFFICERS ... .1. .1. Hawaii H. «I. Eisenman i .... C. A. He.’ . . d. P. Donovan IN MAN 1920, the illanovn College Chapter of tile American Associa- tion f Engineers was inaugurated. The A. A. K. is a national orpin ization of Engineers composed of men from every field of engineering;. Its ideals are to promote the welfare of the engineer and to advance the ethics of the profession. The college chapter affords a means of contact for the student with the practicing man. While the work of tin- National body is national in scope, and while its interests are centered wherever and in whatever way there is an interest of the engineer, the activities of the Col- lege Chapter necessarily cannot he so broad. Its o| cr.ations are confined mostly to business meetings, discussions of technical topics, an occasional smoker or a theatre party. Contact with National Headquarters is alforded hv monthly or sjuvial circulars and bulletins from them to us, and reports from the college chapter to them. One of the accomplishments of the national body during the past year was the passage of Engineer's License Laws in almost every state of the Cnion; another was the securing of pro|K r compensation for engineers in the Federal service. It is continually exerting its influence to have Engineers appointed to engineering positions in Federal, State, and Muni- cipal work. It has directed its forces to tin- prevention of extravagant advertising of correspondence courses, an evil which has been practiced by an unfortunately large number of our magazines. It has established a National Employment Bureau for Engineers; the aim is to provide a kind «• I clearing house for engineers, to provide a means for noting the pulse of the market; and to provide a transference of supply at one point to tin- demand at another. Bv the information in regard to building conditions in parts of the country much unnecessary movement of men in search of em- ployment has been saved. The A. A. E. has become a vital force in tin- profession, and its recog- nition of tin- fact that the future engineers can best be reached while they are still at college, stamps it as all organization with a definite object, and the foresight required to reach it.

In the near future we hope to arrange schedules with distant stations to relay traffic. Those wishing to cooperate may write us. Address all communications to the Secretary, ViPanova College Radio Club, Villa- nova, Pa. m I Sramatirs Dramatics Viiianova have proffrrNSwl rapidly and we find tlirm taking a prominent place with the other activities of tin- collegi. Through the untiring effort of Father O’Meara, a Dramatic ('lull was organized four years ago. which had for its purpose the continuing of the work of producing plays. In order that the students might become in- terested, a puldic speaking class was organized. The work of this class met with such so ec-s tlint a series of entertainments were planned for the stu- dents. The first attempt of the duh came in the form of the drama Riche- lieu. Preparations and rehearsals were progressing favorably, and an ad- mirable east bad been selected, when the work had to be abandoned be- cause of the illness of Father O'Meara. The Club could net be deterred from its work, however, and the next season the Tenth Annual Minstrel Show was presented in the College Auditorium. Like all previous enter tainuieiits of this sort, it was an unqualified success. The chorus of twenty inn'e voices was well chosen and gained favorable comment from the audi- ence, which pa -ked the auditorium. The end men were at their best and kept the audience in good humor throughout the entire performance. The Yiilanova Jazz Hand consisting of Messers. Duffy, Jones, l.oeke, Delabarra and F.merton, furnished excellent orchestration for the vocal selections, and the dance numbers which followed the Minstrel presentation.

Too much praise cannot he given to Director Fink and the members of the play, because it was pre seated in an admirable fashion. The comedy was humorous throughout, and we shall not soon forget those who took the female parks. Bi.U Cronin, as Doris, the heroine, played the role almost as well as a professional. We now recall Bat Ward, whose limbs had to be padded, and everything would have been splendid bail not the pads sJjpjK’d. However, tin presentn lion was the best offered in recent yars. Those who took the leading parts were: Howard M. Thornburv, Wil- liam l Cronin, John J. McGuire, Richard J. O'Brien, Picrpont Kaufman, Karl Kaufman, T. Kevin Reeves, Charles J. M.-Clernan, Francis Carrol Pick- ett, George A Crawley and Joseph R. Dooley. t;i 132 133 Compliments of ..the... Sophomore Class Compliments of ..the..
