Ex Lil ris V. ) The Belle A.ir of Nineteen Forty . . . A N O V A V I L L � BELLE AIR TO THE FOUNDING FATHERS JN public acknowledgment of a debt that has been accumulating over a span of ninety-seven years, we affectionately dedicate the Belle Air of 1940 to the Augustinian Fathers who founded Villanova. It is our esteemed privilege to offer an expression of our deep appreciation of the intelligent foresight and patient sacrifices of these scholarly religious. Though she has by far surpassed their cherished dreams, it is to the founding Fathers that we owe our existence as a collegiate institution. By strong faith and fervent prayer they conquered difficulties which repeatedly confronted them; by their labors they produced an Alma Mater ever worthy of our love and honor. Guiding and directing these noble men in their efforts, as she has guided and directed the Sons of Saint Angustine for five centuries, was Mary, Queen of Heaven, under the title of Our Lady of Good Counsel. Upon gradua- tion, as the symbolical curtain in the drama of collegiate life slowly falls, we, the Class of 1940, unite in spirit with our founding Fathers and pledge our- selves to the sound advice of Pope Leo XIII, Children, follow her counsel.” Theme: The Catholic Ideal in Education 6-7 Dedication 8-9 Part I: The Place and the People 11 Theme: The Individual 12 The Campus 14-21 Villanova College from 1842 to 1867 22-31 The Administration 32-35 The Faculty 36-47 The Deans 48-49 The Schools 50-69 Registration Statistics 70 The Class of 1940 in Review 72-138 Student and Scholastic Leaders 139 The Classes 140-145 Merit Awards 146-147 The Making of a Villanovan 148-156 Part II: The Life and Action on the Campus 157 Theme: Society 158 Varsity Sports 160-187 150 Pound Football 188-189 Freshman Sports 190-191 Intra-Mural Program 192-209 Publications 210-215 Social 216-221 Organizations 222-242 ’Neath the Spires 243 Personal Index 252-258 THE PLACE d THE PEOPLE IHF. INDIVIDUAL JN a changing age when so many old loyalties have been thrust aside and new and pernicious theories arc wrecking the faith and morality of half the world, the Catholic Church points to her far- flung educational system as the only sure bulwark of humanity. Its function is not merely to teach formal religion alone but to impart Catholic Culture. It is concerned with the man and the spontaneous activity of his daily life. For Catholicism is not merely a rejection of evil; nor is it merely a doctrine of positive morality and of dogma; it is essentially and primarily a life—the new life of man, regenerated by Baptism, nourished and fortified by the other Sacraments. As members of the Church it is our duty to live the principles daily; as members of society we must exemplify them to our neighbors in every comer of the world. As products of Christian education, each of us must strive to be a true Christian, which Pope Pius XI defines as the supernatural man who thinks, judges and acts constantly and consistently in accordance with right reason, illumined by the super- natural light of the example and teaching of Christ; in other words, to use the current term, the true and finished man of character.” feofcfog no ” We� ' of the n0r,' � .,rd , mra e« off , The Campus Well might Villanova qualify as having the ideal college campus. Its two hundred-odd acres of natural beauty and architectural splendor are located in one of the country’s loveliest residential communities—a blend of urban conveniences and suburban seclusion.

MENDEL HALL Since 1929, when this extensive building replaced College Hall, it has provided accommodations for the schools of Arts, Science, and Engineering. It is the largest building on the cam- pus, housing the administration offices, dormitories, and resident dining hall, besides the classrooms of the various schools. •Sixteen Located at the east end of the campus is the Commerce and Finance School. The latest building to be constructed on the campus, it contains a spacious auditorium admirably fitted for lectures and debates. It also houses the business faculty offices. COM MERCE BUILDING Seventeen Tke D orms The three main dormitory buildings arc the home of the male seriousness and hilarity that are the major part of collegiate life- Beneath the silver dome of Alumni Hall the freshmen acclimate themselves to their new routine, while in its gymnasium the intra-mural battles arc waged. Austin Hall houses the majority of Commerce and Finance students owing to its proximity to that school. The library is located in its cast wing. Artsmen, Engineers, and Science students favor Fedigan Hall because of its nearness to their classrooms and laboratories. These halls vie with each other for the prized intra-mural diadem given for athletic excellence. ALUMNI HALL SIMPSON HALL Simpson Hall, named for its donor, William Simpson, is the most recently acquired of the college buildings. Built originally as a private dwelling, its spacious, home-like rooms and particu- larly secluded location make it the prize residence hall. On the first floor several large rooms have been completely furnished as lounge rooms which are used for the meetings of the seminars. Twenty Athletics at Villanova revolve around the field house, which is flanked by Goodreau Stadium and the baseball and football practice fields. Its interior contains a basketball floor, bleachers, poolroom and bowling alleys, swimming pool, and the various training rooms. In addition, a large stage is available for dramatic presentations and concerts; while at the same time the floor can easily be converted into a perfect setting for all campus dances. GYMNASIUM Twenty-one a 26 a x c 0 « Y Vr , A A A 4J ■S t rs A Ai Villanova College from 1842 to 1867 THE Order of Hermits of St. Augustine, more commonly known as the Augustinian Order, was founded about the year A. D. 387 by St. Augustine, Bishop of Hippo and illustrious Doctor of the Church. At the beginning of the thirteenth century, and even before, the widespread existence of Augustinian Hermits was an established fact. The Augustinians, the second English-speaking Order of Regulars to come to America, established their first permanent foundation on these shores in the eighteenth century. Fathers Matthew Carr and John Rossctcr of the Irish Province laid the foundation of the new province. The first church, opened in the year 1801 at Philadelphia was named St. Augustine's. Among those contributing to its erection was the President, George Washington. During a eulogy by Fr. Carr, in St. Augus- tine's Church, George Washington was for the first time designated, “The Father of his Country. The Fathers, turning their energies to education, established the St. Augustine's Academy in Philadelphia. But the young organization shortly had to he abandoned. They continued their mission labors, and kept on the alert for another opportunity to open an educational institution. During a visit to the country home of John Rudolph, Catholic merchant and gentleman. Father Moriartv, one of the fathers from Philadelphia, after saying Mass, happened to step out on the veranda. He was deeply impressed by the panoramic view of nature spread before him. Other visiting priests had the same thought. But nothing was done about it until a public announcement was made in 1841, three years after the death of Mr. Rudolph, that the Belle-Air estate was for sale. Rev. Thomas Kyle and Dr. Moriarty, commissary of the province, recognized it as just the spot for an establishment of the Order, and, on Wednesday, October 13, 1841, the day before the one announced for the public sale, Belle-Air was purchased by the Augustinians lor $18,000. Time has proved the excellent judgment of those early Fathers in their purchase.

A large two-story stone mansion and a spacious stone barn were the outstanding improvements. The farm was divided into fields of convenient size enclosed with good fencing. Above: The building in the center is the Academy erected in 1844 to house students. The Rudolph House to the left of the Academy and the stone barn to the right were included in the original purchase.

The college bell in the locust tree was recast from metal salvaged from the bell of St. Augustine’s Church which orig- inally was used in the tower of Independ- ence Hall—the predecessor to the Liberty Bell. The old college bell has been located at the Church of St. Nicholas of Tolentine. O.S.A., Flushing, Long Island, and will be brought to Villanova for the Centennial Celebration in 1943. Institution Is situated in a moat lthy and beautiful part of Delaware yt between the Lancaster Turnpike mud the Columbia Rail-Road, both of which past through its extensive grounds. The regular course of study requisite forgrad uation,comprises the Greek, Latin and English languages, History, Geogra, phy, the Mathematics, Logio, Rhetoric, Poetry, Natural and Moral Philosophy and Chemistry. When, however, the student is destined to commercial pursuits, or intended to pur- sue a particular profession, the course of instruction will be so modified as tq suit the wishes of Parents and Guardians. As instruction in the principles of the Catholic Religion, and a strict observance of the duties it enjoins, form a part of the system of education, Catholic patronage alone is solicited. The Collegiate year begins on the first Monday of September, and ends on the third Wednesday of July. — TER MS:— L L COLLEGE. County, Pa.

An announcement indicating develop- ment and organiza- tion after nine year of existence. Rev. John P. O'Dwycr, O.S.A., was the first presi- dent of Villanova. ... In the last Provincial Coun- cil held in Baltimore in May. 1849, Fr. O’Dwyer, by the most unanimous vote ever given by the Bishops, was elected to fill the Bishopric of Savannah.” Be- fore consecration his health failed and he died in 1850 at the age of 54. With the Mass said by Fr. O'Dwycr and dedication ceremonies of the 28th of August, 1845, Villanova, no longer to he known as Belle-Air, was launched on its religious and educational career. Classes were begun on September 18th. Seven students were enrolled on the first day. Within a few days three more were added. Such was the modest begin- ning of Villanova College. In the same year, Fr. Philip Angelucci. Vicar General of the order, in a petition to the then reigning Sovereign Pontiff, Pope Gregory XVI, supplicated His Holiness for leave to establish a novice-house of the Order at Villanova. By a brief issued on December 22, His Holiness acceded to the prayers of the Fathers and the new American Province became self-sufficient in the training of its members. During the troubled time of 1844, the infamous “Hogan Schism.” climaxing a period of anti-Catholicism in Phila- delphia, resulted in the burning of St. Augustine's Church and had its repercussions at Villanova. The brothers did sentry duty on the grounds while younger lads were housed during the nights away from the premises. A year of college passed amid frequent alarms. In consequence of the losses sustained during the riots, the members of the Order were compelled to close the college lately opened. With less than two years of chequered existence, its portals were closed until the Fall of 1S46. Twenty'five Some of (he Pioneering Father� associated with (he reopen- ing of Villanova in 1865.

Later Fr. Galberry became Bishop of Ffartford. Connecticut. Father William Harnett, Villa- nova's second president, was a Philadelphian. He studied in Italy under the direction of Stephen Belle- sini, who has since been raised to Blessed. Fr. Harnett taught and officiated from 1845 to 1857. First Reopening With the passing of the troubles in Philadelphia, the Fathers determined to reopen the college. Classes were resumed on September 6, 1846. At the close of the school term the first public commencement was held at Villanova. Such exercises had been held before, at the close of the first and second years of the college, but those were private affairs, consisting merely of the awarding of prizes. In the Spring of 1848, a petition was made to the Legislature of the State of Pennsylvania, asking for a charter for the college. On March 10, 1848, Hon. Francis R. Shunk, Governor of the State, signed “An act to incorporate the Augustinian College of Villanova, in the County of Delaware, and the State of Pennsylvania. It is interesting to note that between 1789 and 1850, thirty-eight Catholic Colleges for men were established in the United States. Eleven have survived as colleges or universities to the present time. Villanova was established for the dual purpose of educating candidates for the Church and for the world. Up to this year all cleric members of the province, with only one exception, had been sent to Europe to make their studies. Now they were to be kept at home to pursue their ecclesiastical course. Mr. Charles Egan, a native of Cork, Ireland, was received into the novitiate on May 18th of the year 1848, be- corning the first cleric novice at Villanova. Fr. Harnett, prior, was also novice-master. The ecclesiastical department has always been a distinct branch of the college. Gradual expansion was evident until 1857. The Fathers were helping to carry the nirden of attending the outlying missions of Pennsylvania, New Jersey, and New York. This was causing a shortage of men at the college. After long delibera- non, the Fathers concluded that the interests of the Catholic Church in America would he best served by closing the college department, and devoting their zeal and energies wholly to the missions. % a® WW; COMMK C0T3� T«. PE ;SCV ESt, J' -r w‘1'5 8 M O 1 Father Ambrose Mullen, third president of the college. Educated in Italy and ordained in Philadelphia, he served both as Prior and President from 1865 to 1869. The College Commencement Pro- gram for 1856, shown at left, is a cherished relic of Villanova � earlier days. Apparently the procedure of commencement has changed very lit- tle through the decades. Musical recitals, student valedictories and the distribution of diplomas and awards were the order of the day. Second Reopening The Fathers hoped that classes would he resumed at least within two years. For various reasons, chief of which were a lack of sufficient finances caused by the De- pression of '57 and the uncertain times of the Civil War, the college was not re- opened until 1865, upon the restoration of peace and after a suspension of eight years. Earlier studies were the traditional liberal arts courses. In a prospectus issued in 1850, the regular courses of studies at Villanova comprised Latin, Greek, English, history, geography, mathematics, logic, rhetoric, poetry, natural and moral philosophy, and chemistry. Modern languages were offered as special courses. With the resump- tion of class work in 1865 the course of studies remained much the same with the addition of bookkeeping and music. The next year, 1866, drawing was added. In 1866, M. Pierre Amu, a graduate of Heidelberg, was placed on the teaching staff. M. Amu remained at Villanova as professor of French and German for more than fifty years. Thus, in 1867, we arrive to the end of the first quarter century of Villanova's history. We leave to our successors the continuation of the history in detailed quarterly installments in order that the complete pictorial history will he available when the Centennial Year of 1943 arrives. Thanking God for the self-sacrifices and keen judgment of the early Fathers, we close this belated celebration of the Silver Jubilee.

The library was opened in a large and beautiful hall in the second story of the College Building. It was augmented by books from St. Augustine’s Church which was burned in the riots of 1844. Some of the books carried away during the lire arc being returned to Villanovj even to this day. Sports and other activities seem to have played an important part in the life of a Villanova stu- dent even from the very beginning of the college. Walking, hunting, swimming, skating, and base- hall were the favorite sports. Of these baseball and hiking were particularly popular. During season- able weather a baseball game was played every Sunday afternoon and during the other recreation periods. Every free day the entire student body was divided into three “crowds” for the purpose of hikes. Not a lad was excused, no matter what his plea, save sickness or lameness. Other favorite games were Hop, Step, and Jump; Hank-a-dea, Prisoners Base, Duck-on-Davy, and Tag. Foot races were among the tricks of speed, besides many sorts of jumping games, such as: pole vaulting, high jump, as well as broad and long. One of the prefects, afterwards a priest, was for many years the college champion, with a jump of twenty-two feet to his credit. Marbles too were among the many diversions that raised the spirits of the collegians dubbed, no doubt, at times, by hard class work. Seniors, at least some of them, were as fond of playing marbles as were the juniors. In addition to the sports activities, there were societies in which the students were occupied during their free time. Included among these societies were such organizations as the Sodality of the Blessed Virgin Mary, the Debating Society, the Dramatic, St. Augustine's Library Association, and the Cornet Band. The last mentioned was one of the first societies in the school and owed its origin to one of the early professors who was himself a skilled musician and noted for his ability as a clarinet player. Baseball wo popular at Villanova os early a 1867. This pajje from an old scorcbook, still extant, is the record of a Came between the Seminarians from St. Charles Borromco and a representative nine from Villanova. Father Mullen, then President of the College, was a rabid baseball fan and served as umpire in this as well as many other games. —— Baso Ball Club.

Gas and steam-heating replaced the oil lamps and candles, wood and coal stoves of the early days. A post office was opened at the new railroad station on the college grounds. Enrollment showed a marked increase. Extra- curricular activities developed. A beautiful Gothic Chapel became a travelers’ landmark. The decision in 1895 to undertake immense constructions was a happy turning point in its history. For with the beginning of the new century, the college became a new Villanova. Villanova Today Thirty ITUATED on the Main Line in beautiful, historic Delaware County is ViUanova College. There is no main street nor shopping center, in truth, no village of ViUanova. Rather, it is a suburban community, settled years ago in surroundings that manifest nature at its grandest. Its natural environment serves as a barrier to the noise and clamor of the outside world. Quiet and seclusion, so necessary for study to the large number of students, is one of its most desirable advantages. The campus, the fine buildings and the rolling terrain, is one of the show places of suburban Philadelphia. Thirty-one The Chairman and VERY REV. JOHN T. SHEEHAN. O.S.A., J.C.D., ST B. Chairman of the Board of Trustees TpHE responsibility of competent direction of the Board of Trustees hes in its Chairman. After receiving the degree of Doctor of Canon Law from the Appolinari College of Ecclesiastical Law in Rome, Father Sheehan engaged in parochial duties in the United States In June, 1938, he was elected to the important office of Provincial of the Augustinian Order in the United States, becoming its twelfth incumbent. So honored, he became, ex-officio, the Chair- man of the Board of Trustees. the Board of Trustees npHE “raison d'etre for the Board of Trustees is partially shown in its very title. It is a staff of seven highly capable men. representatives of both the religious and secular life, who shape Villanova's policies as an institution of learning, its position in national educational circles, and effect solutions to its problems of private financing. The Board is the nucleus in which all activities originate, and the phenomenal rise of the college in every field is indirectly due to it. As a functional body, it meets periodically throughout the year and acts upon pertinent resolutions set before it by the Adminis tration. After the demise of Father Tourscher, on January 30, 1939, Father Dougherty, the Dean of the Science School, was appointed Secretary of the Board. This was the only change in personnel of the Board during the past year. BOARD OF TRUSTEES Very Rev. John T. Sheehan, O.S.A., S.T.B.. J.C.D. Chairman of the Board Rev. Joseph M.

He was elected president of the Association of American Colleges in January, 1940. He has given much effort in the developing of the scholarship fund, having increased it substantially since his asceiv Mon to the presidency. The enlargement of the alumni association is one of his chief interests and time consumers. He makes many tours to these clubs to make them ever Villanova conscious. Deceiving many by his quiet demeanor, he is active in sports, is an excellent swimmer, and enjoys other sports with equal zest.

Has improved and expanded the curriculum by including experimental sciences and re-introducing Greek. An authority on history and writes plays as a hobby. JT IS these four deans who are directly responsible for Villanova s scholastic standing. Much has been accomplished under this quadruple leadership of com- petent authorities. Through their combined cflorts Villanova offers to its students curricula well rounded and balanced in every department of study. To the individual efforts of each dean, chosen not only for ability and scholarship but also for the aptitude which he has displayed in his particular field of learning, goes the credit for the progress and improvements of the different schools. From the upholding of th: educational traditions of the oldest school on the campus, to the forming of those of the newest school, the tasks of the various deans have differed greatly. But in every instance, their ceaseless work has brought the schools to the present high standing. Hcrc t c u urc Bioio isfs THE Science School at Villanova was established in 1914 as a branch of the Arts School. Until 1912 students desiring to enter the medical profession were required to have a general college education. However, in this year, the Council on Medical Educa- tu n of the American Medical Association increased the requirements s� � as to eliminate the incompetent members of the profession. With the enactment of these regulations, it became necessary for a student to have at least two years of pre-medical work in a recognized col- lege. By adding science subjects to those already included in the arts course Villanova gained recognition from the New York State Board of Regents, and also met the requirements of the various agencies recognized by the American Association of Medical Col- leges. and the Federal Federation of the State Boards of Medical Licensure. After gaining this recognition, growth in enrollment of students interested in medicine became so great that in 1916 a sep- arate school was opened for them. Rev. Ruellan P. Fink was ap- pointed Dean of this new school. Laboratories were built and thoroughly equipped and more advanced courses were added to the curriculum. Rev. Joseph M. Dougherty was appointed Dean in 1926. Expansion was halted temporarily by the fire of 1928 which almost totally destroyed the laboratory equipment. The moving spirit behind the rehabilitation of the Science School was Father Dougherty. His tireless efforts arc responsible for its continual development until its high ranking as one of the leading pre-medical schools in the country is now widely established. lather Dougherty, Dean of Science School, is explaining principiet of Immunology lo senior pre-mcdical student . The high tradition established by Ehrlich, Pasteur and MetchnikofF will be carried on when their long training is over and they enter the world to help their fcllowmcn. and Ch emists Above: Father Hammond, Professor of Organic and Physiological Chemistry, is explaining the use of lab- oratory equipment to science students. The untold dangers which lurk within the test-tubes of the organic chemist demand extreme care and caution. However, his background and experience in handling reagents have taught the student proper laboratory technique. TNCLUDED in the Science School curriculum is a weekly Forum. Its purpose is to keep the stu- dents informed upon the latest developments in current scientific thought. Qualified speakers from various fields of science give interesting discussions and answer questions concerning their specialized topics. The students themselves find an opportunity to discuss reports of their own research work in the pages of the Mendel Bulletin, a quarterly publica- tion of the Science men. Speakers, publications, language and philosophy courses help to balance their education even though concessions must be made to requirements of the science curriculum. Below: A microscope to the pre-med is like a slide rule to the engineer. Here a future doctor is taking his assigned microscope from the cabinets in the biology lab. Its constant use in the study of celts, bacteria, and protozoa makes him familiar with cellular structure— and the microscope. SCIENCE Left: Freshmen cake Biology which is the foundation for their future studies. The lab- oratory drawings and reports these students are compiling are based on the study of lower form of plant and animal life. I.ong white coats are the customary laboratory garb of the Villanova scientists to prevent acids, stains, and odors from injuring their clothes. Experi- ments in Qualitative and Quantitative Analysis necessitate the use of an assortment of corrosive chemicals, and the stains employed in the Histology laboratory are permanent. Fifty-two These pictures taken in the McKesson and Robhins Company pharmaceutical laboratories illustrate the close resemblance of professional laboratory work to the daily experiments performed in the Science School by the students. Bacterial cul- tures, sera, animals, stills, sensitive scales, biurets, microscopes and spectroscopes, are all at the disposal of the undergraduate in his laboratory work. The experience gained by use of such equipment adequately prepares the student for the future. Fifty-three Engineers build for the ‘World Chemical engineer polishing a metal specimen to obtain a mirror-like surface suitable for microscopic examination. V 7 ITH the beginning of the Engineering School in 1905, a course in Civil Engineering was offered to interested students. Under the direction of Rev. Dr. Lawrence A. DeLaurey, the department was successful from its inception. The following year. Electrical Engi- ncering was proved desirable. As the years went by. Mechanical and Chemical Engineering and courses for the degree of B.S. in Chemistry were added. In 1908, Carl T. Humphrey’ was appointed Dean of the School. Dean Humphrey guided the destinies of the engineers until his demise in 1958, when his duties were assumed by the present acting Dean, J. Stanley Morehouse. The Engineering School is one of the brightest stars in Villa- nova's firmament. Its courses demand a high degree of specialization. But inclusion of non technical and cultural subjects has provided well rounded curricula, producing a graduate who is broad in his point of view but precise in technical knowledge.

Below: Frank Pimpineila i checking up with Miss Kelly, the Dean’s secretary, about his language requirements. A modern language, for commercial and cultural purposes, is a requirement for a degree. Fifty-eight M INDFUL of the increasing complexities of the economic world, Villanova, in September, 1920, instituted a course in commercial science in the Arts School. Increasing numbers of students matriculating at the college and specializing in business courses necessitated larger accommodations. Accordingly, the present building was erected and was opened to students in May, 1951. Since 1922, Father Bartley has been the guiding light of the Commerce and Finance School. Its enrollment has in- creased year by year until it is now the largest school on the campus. Keeping abreast with keen competition the requirements for passing have been gradually increased, thus placing the school among the leaders in scholastic standing. Courses in Account- ing, Business Administration. Finance, Marketing, and Preparation for Law are offered the Commerce and Finance student. The school is dedicated to a three fold purpose; knowledge of business techniques to better prepare the student to earn a living; under- standing of significant changes in social, political, and economic life to make him a better citizen; and a love of truth, justice, and charity so that he may render service to God and his fcllowmen. Keen attention, deep concentration, and prolific notet are the only Open Sesame in a course like Statistic� . COMMERCE AND FINANCE 'TpHE future comptrollers of corporations auditing sets of books in the Account' ing Lab. All students take accounting during their first year. The lxx k$ they keep arc audited by those major mg in the subject. Desks, instead of the usual lecture- room arm chairs, are used to handle the voluminous work sheets and reports. In the Senior year C.P.A. prob- lems are given as a bridge between theory and profes- sional practice. Attendance in daun is carefully checked. Father Dunne i turning in an absentee list at the end of hi� religion class. Occasionally, Father Bartley reads out the marks in a classroom as a lavor to anxious students. The usual procedure is a personal interview. When the marks are ready, a long line forms outside his office and stu- dents enter one at a time. The expressions of thosp leaving the office give a clear indication of what ha been said during the interview. The grading system has been changed this year to conform with that of the other schools on the campus. Professor Henry, a grad- uate lawyer, teaches the fundamentals of Business and Real Estate I.aw. Here he explains a court con- struction on a pertinent question of the day to two seniors. A better grasp of theory by practice is obvious. Hete two students of Real Estate Law are working on a title search in the Zoning De- partment at City Hall An- nex. The clerk is explaining the use of sectional maps. In the five minute interval between classes, students usually take time out for a cigarette. During these brief respites, discussions range from politics to politicians, from socio-economic the- ories to just theories. Sixty-one Philosophy, Classics and Education NEARLY one hundred years have passed since the opening of Villanova College by the Augustiman Fathers. The close identity between the College and the Art School becomes apparent from the fact that it was not until 1905, over sixty years after the founding of Villanova, that any other course of studies was offered. Throughout the last century, the Arts School held fast to its classi- cal ideals and theories of education. At the close of the Nineteenth and the beginning of the present century there was a marked in- clination towards the acquiring of specialized or technical knowledge, and interest in the fine arts seemed to have suffered a relapse. Despite this questionable trend, the arts course remained steadfast, never deviating from its primary purpose, teaching men to think, and staunchly maintaining that the difficulties of the modern world are not to be solved by technical efficiency alone but also by reasoning. In 1936, the Arts and Philosophy School incorporated the depart- ment of Education under the direction of Dr. William H. McHugh. The close association between the two schools gives the future teach- ers the cultural benefits of the liberal arts as well as practical knowl- edge in education. Examination schedules, class rosters, and other notices pertaining to school life find their place on the main bulletin board in Mendel Hall, the hub of campus life. Merely by glancing at this board a student knows what is going on and where, and whether or not his presence is desired at the business office or the office of his dean. In his spare time the student may find relax- ation in the efficiently operated college library. The Amman is required to spend many hours doing research work in the library. The period- ical table assists him in keeping in touch with the affairs of the world. These periodicals are changed as frequently as new issues ap- pear. They arc chosen for their literary and factual value. In addition to magazines, some of the better newspapers are kept on file. When a student wishes a back issue, he may easily secure it by a request to the librarian. are th eir forte The benefit of the Art and Phil- osophy school are to be found in the wide variety of courses offered. To be truly cultured is to be possessed of a broad scope of knowledge. Biol- ogy is offered to the art student so that he may gain the scientific view- point. Each week two lecture period are conducted in which theory is dis- cussed and studied. The theory is given practical application through working experiment and use of the microscopes in laboratory periods. The use of motion pictures i rap- idly increasing in the field of educa- tion. In the course of Art Apprecia- tion, scenes of ancient type of architecture bring the student closer to the subject. The projection on the screen in this picture is an exam- ple of Egyptian Architecture. The study of dead languages was retarded by frenzied tech- nological advancement. Its inherent value, however, is again be- coming evident. The course in Greek, re-established by Fr. Kiley, is optional. Its popularity is encouraging. ARTS AND PHILOSOPHY As an aid in the study of the Sacraments in the Sophomore religion course, Fr. Vrana has entered the field of movie produc- tion. The scene above is the Baptismal ceremony in the Villanova Chapel. The picture shows the various ceremonies in complete detail while Fr. Vrana lectures. He not only supplies the running comment but is also responsible for production, direction, and pho- tography. However, he asked Fr. Kelly to administer the Sacrament. This impressionistic manner of study has proved to be efficient as well as popular. Top Right: A course in religion with Fr. McKee as instructor is a hectic race to keep up with his outlines. Doctrines and Ency- clicals provide a prolific source for reams of analytical abstracts. But this is well, for the matter is too important for mere casual study. Religious discipline coupled with appreciation of truth should bring to bear upon the problems of economic processes, of our social, political, and cultural maladjustments that type of training which will best be able to present intelligent solutions. Right: The Artsmen choosing books from the stacks, spend • ,m,c ,n • library. Numerous sources must be con- L da,a.‘° in research papers. Many students make the library their general headquarters in the compilation of their thesis in the latter half of the senior year. Sixty-four After the school day is ended the Arts student's work is only beginning. There are assignments to be prepared in philosophy, history, Latin, and public speaking. Besides volumes of written work, a great deal of burning the midnight oil such as this Soph is doing, is required to keep up with daily reading assignments. A course which brings much pleasure as well as benefit to the Artsman is the course in Speech Arts. The Freshman pictured below is delivering a speech, which he has carefully prepared and practiced beforehand, to the members of his class. His attentive audience is waiting to rip it apart, if possible. The director at the left is Professor Anthony Frayne, under whose able guidance the intricacies of debate and oratory are unravelled and presented to the student so that they become easy to learn. He convinces his stu- dents that there is nothing to fear in facing an audience—when you are well prepared. An Artsman at the end of his four years of study in speech arts has the ability and confidence of a well- rounded and polished orator. Sixty five The Seminary Father Deacy was appointed Prior of St. Mary’ Hall, succeeding Father Farrell, who died in March, 1939. Father Deacy v a transferred from Washington, D. C., where he was Master of Seminarians last year. Father Anderson is Sub-Prior of St. Mary’s Hall and Master of the Professed Seminarians. He has com- pleted his second year in this posi- tion, which corresponds to the Dean of Men in the College. ¥ N a quiet and secluded corner of the campus live the young men who someday Will take their places on the faculty of Villanova and other schools and in the parishes conducted by the Augustinian Order. These are the professed clerics, who, having completed their year of Novitiate and having received their temporary vows, come to Villanova to study the Classics and Philosophy and receive the degree of Bachelor of Arts. The scholastics lead a secluded life, kept apart from the world until ready to go forth in it to engage in their life work of teaching, preaching, and administering the sacraments. They practice the Rule of the Order in regular community, their house being a distinct priory. Their leaders in study and prayer are the Prior, Father Deacy, and the Master of Scholastics, Father Anderson. In the field of studies, special emphasis is placed on Scholastic Philosophy, the groundwork for the study of Theology. To live a well rounded life, the Seminarians have need for physical recreation in addition to their studies and devotions. They may frequently be seen in the field back of St. Mary’s Hall, playing touch football, basketball, or baseball, or on their way to and from the swimming pool down at the gym. Many of them take long walks through the surrounding countryside.

The training of young men for the priesthood has always been one of the important phases of Villa- nova's work. Originally the year Novitiate, four years of college, and four years of Theology were all spent here on the campus. In addition a pre- paratory school for postulants who had not yet finished High School was conducted in what is now St. Rita's Hall. Candidates for the secular priesthood were also accepted. As time went on, however, and both the College and the Order began to expand, it was necessary to move first one de- partment and then another to different locations. In 1923 the Augustinian Academy was established at Staten Island. N. Y., taking care of the postulants and preparatory students. Two years later the novices were transferred to our Mother of Good Counsel Novitiate at New Hamburg, near Pough- keepsie, N. Y., and starting in 1930 the Theologians were sent to the Augustinian College, an affiliate of Catholic University, Washington, D. C. At the present time only those students doing Collegiate and Philosophical work reside at Villanova. These men, who receive solemn perpetual vows at the end of their third year, arc on the average about mid- way toward their goal of the priesthood. Their everyday life is marked by silence, prayer, and recol- lection. They recite the Divine Office in common, thus enrichening their minds and hearts with the beauties of Church Liturgy. Weekly they re- ceive spiritual conferences from their Father Master, thus rounding out the spiritual side of their training and enabling them to become worthy sons of St. Augustine.

The pool is reserved for the exclusive use of the Seminarians two periods a week during the school year. St. Mary's Hall houses administration, dormitory and classroom facilities of the Seminary Department. In the east wing of this beautiful, castle-like building is a private chapel for Seminarians. Neither snow, nor rain, nor heat, stay these couriers from the brisk completion of their chosen rounds on the college walks in front of St. Mary’s Hall every afternoon. The Seminarians are the greatest walkers on the campus, often going on a hike miles long. The Summer and Part-Time Schools i OT only to the regular students and the seminarians alone does Villanova extend her educational facilities. Recent years have seen a constantly broadening scholastic program, designed to offer greater opportunities to a larger number of people. In 1916, the Extension School was established and two years later the Summer School held its first sessions. The Evening Session was added to the part-time sessions in 1928. Since 1934, the Even- ing Session has been held at the Hallahan High School in Philadelphia. After an existence of only twenty years, the Summer and Part-Time Schools boast a record of surprisingly rapid growth and progress. The remarkable thing about their growth is the fact that very little has been spent in advertising. The Schools enable sisters teaching in high schools to qualify for a college degree from a recog- nized institution, a requirement in the State of Pennsylvania. The competency of its staff, the quality of its instruction, and the low cost to the student have established the conviction in the minds of many that its prime purpose is to serve. Another important attrac- tion, especially to the evening students, is the arrangement of courses offered. A one, two, or three year schedule of courses is easily ar- ranged to fulfill the widely varying needs of working young men and women. Father Bartley, whose genius in ad- ministration and education is largely responsible for the steady develop- ment of the Summer and Part-Time Schools. The routine of Summer classes is pleasurably broken by short strolls in the shade of campus trees. Approxi- mately eighty percent of the students are members of religious orders teach- ing in schools in the Middle Atlantic States. Summer heat is completely forgot- ten as work gets under way in the Histology Laboratory where slides and and microscopes unveil the in- tricacies of all the tissues in the human body. Sisters find the sciences completely absorbing. Sixty-eight Right: Demonstration classes during the Summer have been found to be more bene- ficial than many other techniques designed to improve teaching. The first demonstra- tion classes for the second and third grades were set up during the Summer Session of 19 3. Classes in other elementary grades have been formed every year since that time. Here Miss Yaeger is conducting a seventh grade under actual classroom con- ditions. The hours spent in observation are followed by two weekly conferences with the demonstration teacher. Such observation and educational practise has proved an important aid in teacher preparation and teacher improvement.

The gangling youths have become stalwart men; untrained minds developed and broadened; spiritual ideals strengthened and enhanced; forever to be distinguished as Catholic college men. Possessing wide interests, deep sympathy and under- standing, they are ready and eager to serve their feliowmen, their nation and their God. Memories and experiences once enjoyed together in these common pursuits will be relived a thousand times in fond retrospection of the four fleeting years at Villanova. S E N I O R S THE CLASS of 1940 IN REVIEW The first appearance of the Class of 1940 as a group. Men from various sections of the As Frosh T J AULTED ambitions tempered with the trepida- tions quivering in every Freshman heart; such was our characteristic entrance into Villanova. Staggering under the load of baggage which ranged from clothes to golf clubs, we passed through the registration pro- cedure in a mental haze. If the New Deal had been granted a vote of confidence in '36, we certainly did not share in the country’s optimism. The tolerant command of Sophomore directors, and the orientation process was under way. Led through a bewildering maze of regs, rules and regulations, “Hello Habits, and various other practices common to the watchful upperclassmen, we emerged members of the Class of ’40 in vizored blue caps and black ties. Induction into the collegiate process was completed with our first classes, and the transition from high school to college was found disturbing. Assignments came with machine gun rapidity, and we divided our time between text books, Bryn Mawr, and the fresh- man football team. The latter was the personifica- tion of the spirit of the class, endeavoring day after day to scuttle the varsity team. The nucleus of another great Villanova team. Front Ron: Monaco, Rutccky, Casper, Chi- sick, Pereira, Cook, Bukofski. Second Row: Coach Jacobs, Murphy, Howlett, I.ochctto, Romanowski. Scvcnty-tic-o United States and from other countries became component part of Villanova. Personalities and achievements merged to produce a class whose accomplishments scaled the height . The rumblings of European unrest in Spain reached our ears as the lackadaisical Villanova Spring set in. hut such ominous signs went unheeded as we became cognizant of the nearby girls' schools and home tics noticeably weakened. The wonders of such adventures receded, however, in view of the political activities accompanying our first class election. The warriors of Tammany would have marveled at our breathless maneuvering, and class organization was accomplished with the election of Leon, Ertle, Bellew, and Cava- naugh. The social season reached its end with Tommy Dorsey at the Prom: the academic year with final exams; and we were homeward bound for a short while. Socialites tasted the fruits of the college program with the advent of the Sophomore Cotillion, and it became apparent that the Class of '40 had its share of social lions. That Fall was a busy season, what with cheering spiritedly at the football games, acclimating ourselves to Villanova life, and that event of events the Field Day. After annihilating the hapless Sopho- mores. we settled back with contented sighs of relief, and the mid-year exams rose up and engulfed us in their intensity. Nothing daunted, we regained our stride with a Frosh basketball team casting its shadow of future greatness by winning thirteen out of six- teen games. Two of the three defeats were administred by Temple, a fact filed away for future reference. Frosh Stars, like Lazorchak and Duzminski, became Varsity Aces. Left to Right: I.azorchak, Pash, Toth. Duzminski, Ertle, Armano, Rice, Sinnott, Paulk- ner. I.agerenberg. Seventy-three The Orientation Com- mittee with Charles Bar- rett as Chairman. Members of this committee are sig- nally honored by being en- trusted with the work of successfully completing the program of Freshman guid- ance. Sophs AKING our reappearance as soph omorcs was necessarily a ritual That demeanor of amused boredom plus the answer to all the world's ills was our heritage in this coming year and we guarded it jealously. We had emerged from our yearling cocoon, and inching into the campus spotlight was a major task. Fireside chats emanated from Washington and were rivaled only by the newly found fields of discussion which we thought were ours by virtue of an upperclassman’s position. The Sophomore Gestapo were much in evi- dence, turning their time and abilities to molding the Frosh, wearing white crew caps, and living up to the expectations demanded of an Orientation Committee. Physical violence not being a part of the program, Charles Barrett and his harassed committee became students of Freshman psychology. Constructive criticism was offered for the class recog- nised the herculean task that the oricn- Eugene Ertle, Vice-President, and Bill Leon, President, both of whom withdrew at the end of their Sophomore year; Bernard Bellow, Treasurer, who was re-elected for the Junior year; and Charles Cavanaugh, Secrc- ary, who later made history as Chairman of the Junior Prom. tators had undertaken; but the masses prevailed and our efforts met with mediocre success. Seventy-foil! Carrying on with tradition, we laid our plans for the two outstanding events. To the Frosh we owed a Field Day. but “the best laid plans aft gang aglcy, and that day dawned chill and dreary. Though the mud. rain-swelled pond, and the Frosh were much in evidence, the Sophomores were not. The few hardy Sophomores repelled the massed Frosh vengeance in a manner much akin to General Custer's heroic epi- sode. With clods of mud and derogatory shouts in our ears, with the inevitable dousing in the adjacent pond, with the wind chilling our bones and spirits, we retired from the field of battle covered with ignom- iny and very little clothing; leaving the freshmen to their newly found freedom. One other field of action was open to us, one that was at once laborious and pleasant. Our first venture into the social circles as a class, the Sophomore Cotillion. The chairmanship bestowed upon Bob O'Brien. We moved forward as a unit, aided and abetted by the capable guidance of Father Falvcy. The officers assumed important posi- tions on the committee, and Sophomores vied with Freshmen in the mad dash for dates. The usual dating bureau for Freshmen was established, and Earl Carroll Haggerty was explaining things for weeks afterwards. The Villanovans provided the music, the Sophomores produced the dance, and financially and socially we had come into our own. With conflicting feelings of boastful pride and certain misgivings, we made the net proceeds our initial substantial contribu- tion to the Class of '40 Scholarship Fund. Generosity and a sense of well-being prevailed. Recession, academic failures, altered plans have already taken their toll; but the survivors, still great in number and From this turmoil we emerged swaggering with the usual confidence and looking forward to the time when we could really prove our mettle. The signs were already with us, as athletics began to dominate the scene. On the gridiron we took our place with such talent as Howlett, Murphy, Di Filippo, Nowak, and others who were soon to ascend the firmament of Villanova football. Basketball was as much our forte with Duzminski and Lazorchak covering the floor with varsity aplomb and dispatch. So it went in all ac- tivities. as we entered campus organizations and util- ized the positions we received as stepping stones to the higher things that must he ours. Verily, they were the days that meant a host of dreams come true. Ex- perience and knowledge had to be blended into our development as collegians, and if we carried the world on our frowning brows, what Sophomore has not? We were magnanimous with those above and below us, we crossed the usual bridges, and regarded innova- tions in our lives with a slightly jaundiced eye. In the meantime, it was necessary to formulate our ideas for the coming year with our attendance at the Junior Prom with Hal Kemp. Swiftly we rushed to a climax with a politicians hey-day featuring the class elections. With the rich rewards of Junior year looming, the amateur Hagues wheedled, cajoled, and threatened, all of which led to the election of President Sinnott. Vice-President Waad, Secretary Fanning and Treas- urer Bcllew. A job well done, a year completed, its remembrance lore. zealous in spirit, assume (he mantle of Villanova men. The Sophomores take justifiable pride in being upperclassmen. StDtniyfw Lobbies and pressure in the political world have their counterparts in Junior Class elec- tions. The successful candidates exercise broad powers in appointing chairmen to numerous As Juniors Rounding the turn of our college years, the success of the first two augurs well for the shape of things to coine. . . . jl ACK to the academic wars wc came, looking for associates and delaying the familiar tedium of registration as long as possible. The case with which we slipped into the groove of campus life proved us vet- erans, and bull sessions were dominated by the officers of the Shovelers Brigade. Taking our places in the usual line after line at the lookstore. dining hall, and various other coiv gregating points with the customary boredom and appropriate remarks. The Munich con- ference was not half as important as the bal- ance sheet for Junior Week. Under President Sinnott's direction things happened swiftly. Frank Pimpinella and his staff began their wading through salesmen, correspondence, and the impatient queries of the ring-seekers, to achieve their end in a military ring worthy of a Junior's third digit. The months passed like a Paoli local as far as we were con- cerned, and we fretted and fumed. But ere long our shoulders were encased in the blazers that are a third-year dream, and Jerry Cas- sidy dismissed his committee with a sigh of relief. Junior Week, we are here . . . ready, willing, and able. Seventy-six committees such as Open House, Blazer Ball, Junior Prom, Dinner Dance and others. Cohesion in class affairs was clearly evident throughout our biggest social year.

With World War II in the offing, we respond to the call of our Alma Mater directing our minds through peaceful channels of learning. For four years Father Falvey has been the guiding hand, and the ideal moderator. From our first class activity to the last, his aid has been indispensable, for which he has our unbounded gratitude and esteem. As Seniors UICKLY and inexorably we were drawn into the vortex of our senior year. That dream that we had cherished from afar now seemed tomorrows reality, and with reality came the sober mien and manhood responsibility that was to be thrust upon eager shoulders. Retrospection was the order of the day, and as we attempted a panoramic view of our achievements, every sport and every activity was studded with the sparkling performances of the class of 1940. In football, we began the era of Villa- nova's invasion of the country's great teams, and emerged with but two defeats. A basketball team of championship calibre, and a strong nine on the diamond proved our versatility. All our endeavors reached their apex with a brilliant Belle Air Ball featuring Teagarden, of trombone fame. Truly we were building a life's foundation of scholastic and athletic achievement. Suddenly time had become of the essence, and sadly we took cognisance of a fleeting collegiate career. And just as suddenly the caissons were rolling in Europe, rumbling an overture to our entrance into the world of professions and business; screaming war headlines mak- ing our future unsettled and our past very dear. Nevertheless, we had built up a bulwark of personalities, escapades, friendships, and confidences, protecting us against the assault of the fates. Realization of what our graduation means throws a shadow over the brightest spirits; never again can we walk the campus with that spirit of camaraderie that enlivened our days and lent wings to the years. Solace comes only from the education that is invaluable, and the joy of living a life we loved. Eighty Intellectual, athletic, and social pursuits of our Senior year are climaxed by the Senior Week-end, with its Belle Air Ball and Dinner Dance. Commencement is nearly here!

One Hundred Thirty-seven I n M emorlam Somber sleep. In watchful deep. The dwelling place Of souls at rest. Has captured you— Eternal blest. Written by a Staff Member William J. Gilligak. Jr. Drowned July 28, 1939 at Beach Haven, New Jersey. Happening shortly after the also accidental death of his brother, it was a distinct shock to his parents and a deep loss to us. His presence at daily Mass has built a colossus that cannot be compared with the puny edifices of man. Gifted and talented in his own field, he showed an uncommon knowledge in music and the appreciation of it. The monument built for him will last long in the hearts of those who knew him. A. Louis Petril Former science student died on October 15, 1939. He lost no time at Villanova in making a name for himself scholastically and athletically. A brib liant student in the class, his reports displayed a profusion of A's. He participated in the science seminar for two years. As a member of the varsity track team in his Sophomore year, he showed much promise. The fatal illness was the cause of his withdrawal from school in his Junior year. Joseph C. Scully Died on October 23, 1938 as a result of injuries sus- tained in an automobile accident. He entered Villanova in 1936 from Wildwood High School. He led a well-balanced life and endeared himself to many. To have lived and to have made man know that you have lived, is a satisfaction desired by all men. Joseph Scully achieved this in the brief span allotted him. At the time of his death, he was a Junior in the Engineering School.

I 'HI: fifth annual President's Dinner to student leaders was held on February 25, 1940. Upon conclusion of the formal dinner, informal discussions waxed eloquent. Each of the six student leaders present first gave a talk upon some pressing problem or a desired improvement. Father Stanford, in turn, replied from the administration viewpoint. Then, the other students and Father Albers presented their opinions on the matter. By the time that cigar smoke became noticeable, many ideas had been aired. Some were dismissed by all as impractical, many were adopted for further action. It was a splendid testimonial to the leaders and another gesture for even better student'faculty relations.

Ballots were cast to elect men of ability to lead the class during its big year. After the final count was taken, Daniel J. Keating was announced to he the Junior Prcxy. William E. Deasy was entrusted with the Vice-Presidency; the duties of Secretary were given to Joseph B. darken: and James Forkin de- feated John Van Hook only after a second election for the position of Treasurer. At the beginning of so exemplary a year, the Juniors are en- titled to their mature and sophisticated air. They arc looking for- ward to the day when in the near future they will be the kingpins of the campus. But the future will come, lets enjoy the present. Early in September, the Ring Committee was formed headed by Frank Abbott. It seemed like only a few weeks passed when the Juniors returned to school after the Christmas holidays sporting the excellent jewelry that made them marked men. James Collins was appointed to the Chairmanship of Junior Week. His assistants were George Coupe as Chairman of the Promenade. Clifford Ran- dolph to arrange for the purchase of the blazers, and Murray Zealor to lead the activities of Mothers Day. Finally it arrives! The time which all Third Year Men look forward to and then never forget. That which they have sweated, worried, and fought to make a success. It is now time to don the full dress and enjoy the results of all this work. The Open House was the busy background. The Blazer Ball was an informal rehearsal for the swank Junior Prom. Mother’s Day permitted the Juniors to share the fun and made their mothers feel reassured. The Dinner Dance was a fitting conclusion to a full week. It was over all too soon, hut not forgotten. The Junior Week will be talked of by the Juniors until they are graduates and even after. The Junior Class was honored by outstanding men in every field of endeavor. In athletics, that dancing, will-o-the-wisp, Nick Basca, went to the heights on the gridiron. Paul Nugent, in his all around fine play with the court team, gave promise for his Senior year. Johnny Maher was the class pride on the cinder track. Scho- lastic work was not neglected, in which phase James Donovan and Andrea D Angelo were among the outstanding.

McKimmey............President Richard L. Gray..........Vice-President George E. Gabuzda.............Secretary Andrew J. Melton..............Treasurer yy ITH a feeling of security and nonchalance that only ex- perience can bring, the Sophomore Class returned to school to start the second quarter of their college careers. Gone was the feeling of inadequacy which often confronts Freshmen, when, they step from the familiar and rather turbulent environment of high sch(x ! into the more subdued, academic atmosphere of college. Regs are gone and the class is officially recognized in all sports and extra- curricula activities. At the end of the Freshman year, the Class of ”42 decided upon incumbents for class officcrships. Thomas McKimmey became Presi- dent; Richard Gray, Vice-President; George Gabuzda, Secretary; and Andrew Melton, Treasurer. On September 29, the Second Year Men began their social whirl with the traditional Sophomore Cotillion. Joseph McCabe and his capable committee handled things in a businesslike manner and as a result had a very successful affair. Sophomores were prominent in athletics, studies, and extra-curricula activities. In sports Richard C� rey and William Howlett were among the leaders. Two men who did much in various extra-curricula activities were Joseph McCabe and John Gallagher. Spring found the Sophomore well rounded and versed in many fields. The realization that they had completed the first half of the collegiate careers was a sobering thought. In their marked cooperation in all things which go to make up life at Villanova, the Class of 42 has done well. One Hundred Forty-two Acteo 86 Ehmcr 50 Kchoc 154 Mo wen Aiscnbrcy 6 Evans 21 Kelly.

Villanova College's merit system is now entering its sixth year of existence. The ‘'Merit Award of Villanova College is bestowed annually on students who are worthy of merit be- cause of their consistent and meritorious cooperation in extra-curricula activities and who also enjoy good scholastic, chapel, and disciplinary records. These certificates are given as an incentive and re- ward for student activity and scholarship. When the requirements arc fulfilled, there results a balanced curriculum of careful study and commendable extra- curricula activity. During the six years of its existence, much has been accomplished to warrant full praise and wide recognition of the award program. Last year forty-four organizations were listed as eligible to recommend students for the reception of Merit Awards. The assembly this May showed another increase in the number of student activities. Having so many means of receiving such an award has its advantages. It encourages all students of the various campus groups to look forward to tangible recognition for praiseworthy accomplishment. Careful consideration of the student's record is made before he is eligible to receive a Merit Award. Moder- ators of the activities prepare the first list of those who arc entitled to receive an award. This list is then sent to the Deans of the respective schools. If the student's academic record for the year places him in approximately the upper half of his class, the Dean then passes his name on to the Chaplain. The student must have a commendable chapel record. Finally, the list is sent to the Dean of Men who, after consultation with the Board of Counsellors, prepares the roster of those worthy of the Merit Award. In connection with the policy of granting awards, a particular commendation is bestowed by the McLaugh- lin Medal. This medal is presented at the annual com- mencement to the senior who has received the greatest number of Merit Awards during his four years at Villanova. The Deans' and Registrar's offices maintain a record of recipients of the awards. This data accompanies the transcript of credits to graduate schools and to employers seeking reference material concerning stu- dents. Educators and employers both are of the opinion that the well balanced student is the more capable and the more likely to succeed. Seniors receiving two or more Merit Awards dur- ing the entire four years. •o % c -2 .3 x 3 — H 8 £ j£ 3 0 «T k- n C a V Zc c UJ X £ 1 3 u 6 j 7. «0 y n a 3 ’3 V V X 6 i 1 3 C V E •5 V LU I 3 S •2 3 2 Bellew.

Part Two THE LIFE and ACTION ON THE CAMPUS SOCIETY AN is not an isolated individual in a social vacuum, but a social being destined to live and work out his salvation in association with his fellow beings. He is born into a family; he is admitted to the Church; he lives in a community; and is a citizen of the State. Christian truth and principles of conduct have been obscured by a world which has lost its sense of spiritual values. The family is under- mined by divorce; the community is disorganized by lawlessness; the state is harassed by war; the church is ridiculed by Godlessncss. The disregard for the value of human personality manifest in so many quarters of the earth is alarming. All thinking people protest against the forces of irreligion and party ideology. It is vital to cherish the principles of the Christian Ideal. In no other way can we attain security in family life, coherence and harmony in the community, freedom and justice in the state, glory and power in Christ forever. In an Apostolic Letter to an American University, Pope Pius XI said, Christian teaching alone, in its majestic integrity, can give full mean- ing and compelling motive to the demand for human rights and liber- ties because it alone gives worth and dignity to human personality.” Them Their t’ ” VER. the fence go Villanova's 1939 gridmen on the first day of Spring practice in preparation for the gruelling campaign that lies ahead.

A capacity crowd of 8,000 is jammed into Goodreau Stadium to witness the clash for Muhlenberg is far from being the usual opening day breather scheduled by many larger colleges. Some say they may even stop the Wildcats. The snappy red clad band from Allentown is the first to enter the stadium. Next comes Villanova’s band followed by a long line of freshmen marching two by two. It’s a great day for the Frosh, the first time that the Centennial class marches as a unit. The Frosh are seated, the flip of the coin, the kick-off and the game is under way. Time and again the powerful Muhlenberg line repulses Villanova advances. The Mules’ hard charging linemen hold the Cats power in check until late in the sec- ond period when a pass from Basca to Massei scores the season’s first pay-off. An- other Basca toss to Bchot in the fourth period nets a second touchdown. Basca makes both conversions. Future Wildcat opponents «should not be misled by the score, 14-0.

But. that's not the only reason they are 1: cat's opponent is none other than South Carolina University, whose 1938 tic with Villanova was the only blot on an otherwise perfect escutcheon. Villanova is out for revenge. The question is, “Will they get it? Playing well-nigh perfect football the Blue team astounds fans and experts alike by running, parsing, blocking and kicking its way to an overwhelming 40-0 victory. Tom McMahon leads the scoring parade with two touchdowns while Buz; Howlett, Gogolinski, Be hot, and Romanowski contribute one apiece for good measure. Basca. Howlett. Bchot, and Neri each kick a placement goal for an extra point. Not once do the Gamecocks threaten the 'Cat's goal line. “Clipper sends in the second, third and even the fourth team in an effort to hold down the score, but to no avail. In all, forty-one Villanova players parade on the gridiron. It is a badly ruffled Gamecock who limps his way back to Orangeburg, South Carolina, after feeling the claws of a Wildcat's revenge. The Main-Liners have gone undefeated in the last twenty-three games, one f the longest streaks in modern foot Kail history. Onr Hundred Sixty-three VILLANOV A 7 TEXAS A.

The Texas team seems to do everything right. Led by Big John Kimbrough, they bowl over Villanova by scoring 33 points in the first half. A beaten but de- termined Villanova team comes back in the second half to score against the Aggies and at the same time blank the Texans. But too late, the damage has been done. No Conquering Caesar was ever greeted with such acclaim as is the tired Wild- cat team which alights at Villanova Station after the Western debacle.

Auburn rolls up ten points and the Wildcats none. But in the second half an enraged Wildcat takes the field and drives toward the Tiger goal. Repeatedly the kicking of Dick McGowcn stymies the Blue attack. Finally, after several minutes of third quarter action, the injured Nick Basca rushes from the Villanova bench into the fray. With their “sparkplug present the Villanova machine rolls down the field and stops only when Johnny Gogolinski crosses the Auburn goal. The extra- point try meets success and the score stands 10-7 for the Dixie lads. Again the Wildcats plow into the shadow of victory late in the game but the staunch spirit of a great Auburn line was not reckoned with. Although the ‘Cats have a first down on the Auburn one-foot line and at one time move to the one-inch line, they are unable to score. Auburn takes the Kail on downs, gives the heartbroken Wildcats an automatic safety and ends the day as far as Villanova’s hopes are concerned. One Hundred Sixtyfive CAMPBELL MONACO CATO Coming Game Horn e - V ILLANOV A ARKANSAS ACK in Shibc Park, the Wildcats are out to redeem themselves against another Southwest Conference member, Arkansas, whose towering giants are the tallest and heaviest players in the country. 20,000 fans are present for the Homecoming Day encounter. Before the game and between halves the Razorbacks' snappy hand entertains with swing numbers and intricate marching formations. By far it is the best outfit of its kind ever to visit Philadelphia. Back and forth throughout the first half twenty-two men battle to a standstill. The crowd is waiting for something to happen—and it docs. Joe Behot takes the ball on an off-tackle slash, twists and squirms past the Arkansas secondary, galloping eighty-one yards for the game's only touchdown. The Razorbacks threaten time and again in the last quarter with long passes and runs deep into Blue territory. The Arkansas hind converges to the goal line and salaams. But Allah does not heed their prayer in the fading sunlight. Jubilant fans will remember a gallant Arkansas team which wasn't defeated until the shrill of the final whistle sounded. The conquest puts Villanova back into the spotlight in the national football ratings.

Wildcat and Owl finally clash at Temple Stadium on the eighteenth of November and as usual forget most of their football and settle down to a “knock down and drag ’em out” Kittle which almost shatters the nerves of the 25,000 spectators seated in the stands. Bruising blocks and vicious tackles are the order of the day as both teams settle Kick and play defensively, waiting for an opportunity for the kill. Not long after the opening whistle opportunity knocks at Villanovas doors and the Wildcat, famed for its opportunist tactics, cashes in for the first six points of the day.

The Wildcats score two sudden and flashy touchdowns, both on Basca pitches towards the end of the first half. Throughout the second session the Wildcats are on the defensive and only beautiful punts by Howlett and the fighting spirit of eleven determined Vilianova men prevents the Titans from coming out as victorious. The game, played in the Detroit Stadium, Michigan, was almost a counterpart of the 1938 battle as the Titans do everything but score more points than the Main- Liners, but points are what count in the final tabulation and Villanova’s claim to superiority over the mid-Westerncrs cannot be questioned. When the chips were down Clipper Smith's men prove their worth and come through in true Vilianova style. This is the fifth successive year that Vilianova won the annual clash by one touchdown.

After a sustained Blue march, Harry, the team captain for the game, skims over the goal on one of the few occasions that he carried the ball. Nick Basca, the Phoenixville flash, adds the extra point with a perfect kick from placement. The game was played in bitter, frigid weather and under leaden skies, which made passing very difficult. Nevertheless the Villanova attack was not stymied, and throughout the game the Blue continually threatened to run up the score. One Hundred Seventy-one I I � ' 4 0« o e' T?

Basketball TXEFENDING their Middle-Atlantic States intercollegiate basketball championship was the chief task of Coach A1 Severance's varsity court five the past year. Al- though the opportunity to defend the crown in the annual N.C.A.A. tournament did not present itself this year the record of the Villanova quintet furnishes a strong bid for Eastern supremacy, for the Wildcats waded through a heavy nineteen game schedule, losing only to Indiana and Baltimore. Coach Severance opened practice sessions early in September with several veterans from the '38-39 club and a host of aspiring sophomores striving for starting posts. Among the veterans were Duke” Duzminski, one of the leading courtmcn in the nation, Mike Lazorchak, Lloyd Rice, Bill Sinnott, Paul Nugent, and Chuck” Yund. Outstanding sophomore prospects included Fred Gerland, Dick Gray, and Ad Worth- ington. Practice sessions, made up mostly of intra-squad games, were carried on daily at the Field House until time for the opening game with Mount St. Mary's College on December 8th, a very early opening for college basketball. For his opening quintet Severance chose veterans Lazorchak and Rice at forwards, sophomore Fred Gerland at center, and veterans Duzminski and Yund at guards. However Gray. Sinnott, and Nugent also saw much action in the 43-17 conquest of an outclassed Mt. St. Mary's team. The following four days saw the Wildcats in action three times on the Field House hoards. Loyola, Wittenberg, and Washington College found the Villanovans a little t x tough and ran the Cat winning streak up to four. Western Maryland became victim number five and the mighty Green Wave” of Tulane University found itself a mere ripple on the Wildcats' floor and fell 63-27 in overwhelming defeat. Came December 28 and the awaited meeting with Indiana University, perennial mid-west court power and at the time at the top of the Big Ten” Conference standings.

With the tension of a winning streak snapped the Blue five returned to its cool, calm, easy play and took an outstanding Ohio University club in stride after the Buckeyes had swept through all competition on their eastern trip. First foreign” battle for the Wildcats came on January 10th against Lehigh University at Bethlehem. Pa. and resulted in Villanovas eighth victory. Albright fell before a Wildcat onslaught a week later. Pennsylvania Military College played host to the Blue and White on January 20th and absorbed the worst beating dealt out in the Philadelphia district in many years as the Villanova five, led by Duzminski s twenty-six points, beat out an 80-49 victory. Despite their spirit and fire the Chester Cadets were no match for their adversaries. Providence, Upsala, Western Maryland, and Wayncsburg College followed as Villanova victims. All were routine conquests except the last named, who enabled the Wildcats to show a spirit and ability that has never been surpassed on a college court. Led by big Bob Simmers and supporting an excellent record that included BASKETBALL wins over Carnegie Tech and the University of Pittsburgh the Waynesburg club came east on its first Philadelphia trip and immediately showed an amazing quantity of court ability. Catching the Wildcats unawares with a stunning display of scoring power the westerners rolled up a 29-12 half-time lead and it looked like “curtains ' for the Wildcats. But unassuming Bill Sinnott, substitute for three years, had not been reckoned with and with the opening of the second half Waynesburg found itself facing a new Villanova team ... a team that had no liking for the taste of the bitters of defeat. Thus it was that Sinnott set the fuse to blow up the Waynesburg ship. Yund hit the cords for eleven points, his greatest performance of the year and his teammates followed with enough second half tallies to change the 29-12 Waynes- burg lead to a 42-33 Villanova victory! A team that won't be, can't be! . . . nuff said. Assumption, Brown University, and Catholic University followed and helped add to the Villanova win column.

Always a leader in collegiate baseball in the East, Doc Jacobs, Villanova's impresario of diamond tactics, is faced with the task of pulling out of the bag another diamond winner, a consistent habit with him. Since the robust ex-Villanovan has taken over the baseball destinies, the Wildcats have forged to the top. It was Doc's lambasting batsmen who handed Hank Borowy his only pitching defeat in three years of twirling for the Fordham Ram. Borowy is now a member of the New York Yankees. This season Villanova will wade through a nineteen game schedule, somewhat shorter than last season's card. The calibre of competition is better. Among the teams to be faced are such baseball powers as Pennsylvania, Temple, Ursinus, C. C. N. Y.. Fordham and Manhattan, among others.

Joe Desmond, now a full fledged Baltimore Oriole, Bobby Bond, Francis Crawley, and hard hitting Lou Wannemacher have matriculated to the play for pay ranks in organized baseball. This year’s cast is replete with players who combine with their playing ability the hustle so true of former Villanova athletes. The brightest spot, believe it or not. is the mound staff. The hurling corps is composed of Connie O'Leary, Cliff Choquette, Connie Nicholas, Bob Pash, Andy Sisco, Bill Howlctt, and Jim Latanza. The first four mentioned arc slated for starting posts. Husky George Flood will handle the slants and steam pitches with John Murphy, Frank Moses, and A1 Skaff available for reserve duty behind the bat. The defensive net work of the infield will have a cross section of power in all lines, with positions three and four deep. Collaborating to make an air tight defense will be John Donoghue, a converted outfielder at the initial sack; Sophomore flash. Woody Reitmcier, at the keystone sack; Mike Lazorchak. senior shortstop, and new- comer Joe Yednock handling the hot ones coming his way at third base. The release of Nick Basca from spring football training has brightened the out field picture. Basca plays the outfield as well as he docs third base. Teaming with the Phocnixvillc Phantom will be veterans George Balmore and the slugging rebel, One Hundred Sevenlyninc $ Lloyd Rice, who is destined for the clean up slot in the hatting order. With such prospects available, little wonder that everybody is waiting for the opening games with powerful district rivals, Ursinus, Penn, and Temple, in that order.

As has been the usual custom for these past few years, Jumbo Elliott was on hand to greet his boys as they crossed the finish line, very often in first place. Diminutive Johnny Maher, Villanova's speed merchant supreme, once again attracted national attention. Not as successful as last season on the boards, Maher, nevertheless, managed to keep up with the rest of the field in the invitation sprints, crashing the final heats against the nation's standouts. He was also the anchor man of another great one mile relay team from Villanova, the other three members being Whitcy Urbelis, AI Shedloskey and Bill Guiteras. The winged foot boys started slowly, due to the lack of suitable indoor facilities on the campus. The best efforts of the Wildcats in the Madison Square Garden meets were close seconds in the relay events. It was down in the capital city at the Catholic University games that Villanova’s trick stock soared to a new high. Maher, not content with a win in the century sprint, stunned the large gathering by romping off with the feature sprint event of the program, the 50-yard Abbey Memorial Race. Bud Abbott, a high jumper, scaled the bar at six feet to carry off first place honors in that event. The mile relay quartette flashed their way to sweet victory over teams which had previously beaten them in early season meets. In keeping with the spirit of things at this meet, the Wildcats' freshman relay team breezed to victory over Scton Hall's yearlings, who had just created a new world's record at the A. A. U. champion- ships. These performances helped to make the past winter season one of the best ever enjoyed by Villanova track teams. Besides those already mentioned, outstanding individual performers were Bill Carey, in the hurdle events. Art Murphy, a veteran high jumper. Brad McManus, Fred Gerland. Tim Waad and Bill Duffy in the pole vault and weight departments. Duffy was the outstanding distance runner of the season. Encouraged by the success of the indoor season, Coach Jumbo Elliott has carded a formidable outdoor schedule for his track and field men. Besides entrance in the annual Penn Relays, A. O. H games, and the ever important N C 4 A meeting, dual meets have been arranged with such outstanding teams as the University of Pennsylvania, Franklin and Marshall College, and Rider College.

The tankmen again left in their wake a record worthy of the endeavors of a Villanova team. Under the tutelage of a new mentor, William Leahy, a former Wildcat swimming star himself, the Villanova swimming team entered a new season bent upon bringing further honor and success to the name of Villanova. With the appointment of William Leahy as coach, an innovation, by way of a novelty, in the annals of swimming history was inaugurated, since Ed Leahy, Bill’s brother, was elected to the captaincy of the squad. Thus it was that a brother combination guided the destinies of the Blue and White natators for the season. With Walt Kelley setting a stellar pace in the 50 and 100 yard freestyle events, as well as anchoring a fast 400 yard freestyle relay and the speedy and durable Bill Hooper adding his scoring ability in the 220 and 440 yard freestyle events, Villanova with her added array of aquacade artists went on to finish the season with three wins out of six starts against top-notch intercollegiate competition. Walt Kelley, national junior 50 yard free style champion, and Bill Hooper, former Mercersburg Prep star and holder of several prep school distance records arc both well known to the followers of Villanova s more popular indoor sport. Repeatedly they have proven themselves as the ace up the sleeve and furthered the reputation of Wildcat swimmers and have given the touch of spirit and success to the Villanova swimming team. The next Olympic games will possibly possess the names of those two.

University of Jennsylvania and Rider College of Trenton. The loss of Charles Timmins in the low-board diving tests proved to be a serious loss of points. The three defeats were y the narrowest margins but defeats that meant for a better balanced team in the following meets. Following the three setbacks the squad travelled to New York where they en- countered St. Francis of Brooklyn and splashed to a close victory over the Gothamites. Returning to their own battle grounds, the Wildcat natators facing Seton Hall College in their final meet, easily triumphed over the Jerseyites. In the latter meet, the 400 yard free style relay team, composed of Charles Barrett, Bill Hooper. Bob Koness and Walter Kelley, set a new pool and college record of 3:48.8 for the event, bettering by three seconds the old pool record formerly held by Penn State, and by seven seconds the college record held by last year's team composed of John Pholeric, Jim Burns. Charles Barrett and Walt Kelley. Graduation will take a heavy toll on Coach Leahy's team, five seniors of proven ability will be lost, namely; Captain Ed Leahy, speedy back stroker; Paul Fitrmaurice. breast stroker: Charlie Barrett, free style sprint man; Charlie Timmins, low board artist and John Lind, Manager of the Swimming team. However several replacements from the yearling squad will fit into Coach Leahy's plans.

It is designed for those who because of a heavy scholastic load do not have the time to engage in more lengthy and arduous practice, or lack the weight required for varsity competition. The 150’s are the only wearers of the Blue and White in the Ivy League, engaging such big name teams as Cornell, Penn, Yale, Princeton, Rutgers, and Lafayette. List fall, a gallant but unfortunate team represented Villanova in the Eastern Intercollegiate Lightweight League. Displaying all the fighting Spirit which typified the varsity Wildcats, they failed, however, to emulate the varsity team in victories produced, for the lightweights did not win a game. Despite this discouraging record, let us go deeper into the various games to see if there was any redeeming quality. Under the tutelage of Harvey Buck, ex- Villanova luminary, the little Wildcats opened the season against Cornell up in Ithaca way. There they began a scries of games, in all but one of which they saw an early lead dwindle and disappear. Although displaying good scoring punch in the first few minutes of play, they were unable to hold their lead and were over- whelmed in the second half when a powerful Red team ran up the score. In the second encounter of the season the improved Blues held a highly favored Princeton foe to a low score and even threw a scare into their opponents by pushing them over for a touchdown in the first two plays of the game. Rutgers had a difficult time in downing the Wildcats in the next contest, but finally pulled a 12-0 triumph out of the fire. This was the only game in which Villa nova failed to score.

A fine passing and running attack by both teams was the outstanding feature of this game. A last minute rally by the Villanova men had the spectators tense. Hoping to salvage something from a disastrous season Harvey Buck's charges went up to Easton to engage the Lafayette team. However, when the Blue team lost their passer Lattanza, who placed third in the league scoring, in the first few minutes of play, they were forced to be content with a straight running attack. They suc- cumbed to a Lafayette passing attack to lose by 25-12. Technically speaking, a weak pass defense destroyed all the good work of fine line play and a better than aver- age offense. But in all the games the Blue and White fought back courageously even after they had seen their hard-earned leads disappear and their best players hurt. This is their redeeming quality. Villanovans can be proud that their lightweight represen- tatives have exhibited this comeback spirit a typical Villanova spirit and a spirit which makes no defeat a disgrace. Jim Lattanza.

CONTINUING Villanova's splendid undefeated streak in freshman football, this year's team notched two vie tories to make a grand total of twenty-five consecutive undefeated games. This almost incredible record is ample proof of the coaching ability of “Doc Jacobs. The initial encounter was a night fray with St. Bene- dict's Prep at Newark. A sustained drive in the final quarter netted the only touchdown of the game scored by Biekewit: with a conversion by Chaplar. The Frosh showed an exceptionally strong defense and a brilliant passing at- tack. Every threat offered by the ''Saints was repulsed in short order. The next contest saw the N. Y. U. freshmen journey- ing down to the Main Line stadium and limping back to the Big City on the short end of a 27-6 count. The Kittens scored in every period of the game, completely crushing the Violets. Another game with Villanova's arch-rival, Temple, was scheduled as a night game. The Kittens were eagerly awaiting to make the count three out of four in this scries. Inclement weather caused the game's postponement several times until it was finally cancelled. This crop of yearlings is an aggressive group of pig- skin carriers and in a year or two will probably be making greater football history for the Blue and White. Above: Lineup of Villanova’s undefeated Kitten basketball squad in the usual order: Bill Wood, Sal Rosato, Tony Cal- andra, Mike Purzycki, Jack Stanton, Joe Casalc, and Bob Kelly. Despite a rough sched- ule the Frosh five had little trouble with any opponent. One Hundred Ninety Ii m e n Sports pJOT content to rest in the reflected glory of their varsity brethren Villa� nova's Frosh basketball team piled up the best athletic record on the campus during the '39-40 term, in addition to weathering Villanova’s longest athletic schedule. With conquests over such outstanding fives as Brown Prep., recog- nised as the cream of eastern prep-school circles, Lincoln Prep, Albright Frosh, Lukens, South Philadelphia Catholic, West Catholic, Salcsianum High, and many others the Kitten five waded through the lengthy season without incurring defeat. Crowning point of the Kitten campaign was a 54-48 win over Brown Prep at the Preppcrs own gym, their first loss in twenty years of play on the home floor. Previously in the season Brown had fallen before the Kittens at the Villanova gym. Prospects for next year’s varsity five include; Bill Wood, high-scorer. Art Spector, Bob Kelty, Joe Purzyki, and several others of like high calibre. Another bright hope for future Villanova varsity teams is held forth by the stellar performances of members of the Freshmen swimming team. The team enjoyed a banner campaign winning two out of three meets in an abbre- viated season. Winning over Valley Forge Military' Academy. North Phila- delphia Catholic High, and losing only to a strong University of Pennsyl- vania tank team. The Frosh showed potential varsity strength in such men as Green, Desmond, and Mauch.

One Hundred wetyonc t- INTRA-MURAL rJ1Q the great American public Villanova athletics are symbolized by powerful gridiron combinations which annually meet and defeat the nation's finest, by classy, smooth basketball teams which are recognized as among the best, and by baseball clubs that proud- ly boast of seventy-one years of glory-ridden activity. But here on the Main Line there is another form of sport, which, though it never makes the headlines nor is aired over the ether waves, is yet such an integral part of the Villanova athletic set-up that the whole system would lack a backbone without it. We refer, of course, to the Villanova Intra-murals. For it is through the intra-murals that the high-sounding phrase, “Athletics for All,” has become a reality. Since the organization of the I-M activities every Villanovan has been given, and takes, the opportunity to compete in organized sport. Physical prowess is a minor matter for the program extends through almost every possible form of sport. The set-up is so extensive that it has become recognized as a Villanova axiom: “Every man an athlete—and every athlete, a man!” Upper Left: Spectators, officials, and players sit together.

It was just eight years ago that the Rev. E. B. McKee, O.S.A. took over the flimsy, half-organised mural set-up and transformed it into a system that is viewed with interest by leading universities of the country. For seven years Father McKee, a born sports-promoter, carried on his work single-handed, but at the beginning of this year with the set-up on the threshold of per- fection the pressure of other activities together with the vastness of the mural sports made it necessary for the Moderator to call in aid. That the choice for a Co-Moderator was a wise one is evident to all for the appointee. Father Dunne, is known and admired by every- student. At the present time the murals include competition in baseball, basketball, tennis, football, golf, swimming, boxing, wrestling, soft- ball, pool, billiards, and Amateur Night.

Notice the nat- ural scenery in the background which provides a beautiful setting for any form of athletics. Most touch football is played on Mendel Field. J N THE fall months touch football rules as the kingpin of intra' mural athletic activity Although there are no organized teams on the campus and no points are granted in the standings, the pop- ularity of this sport can easily be proved by observation of the Mendel and Austin athletic fields between classes and during the after- noons of any day of the week. In the afternoons, especially, there are always two or three games going on at each of these fields. This activity docs not limit itself to the students for the Fathers Paquette, McQuade, and Sullivan arc several of the Nick Bascas of the daily scrimmages. Its universal appeal to students is probably due to the fact that no special equipment is needed. The only requirements arc a little free time and the desire to carry the pigskin into that heaven known as touchdown-land. About the only difference between the rules of this and regular football is that touching the ball carrier is substituted for tackling and the ten yard gain for a first down is omitted in this game. Touch football, however, has not been actually placed on the list of intra-mural activities for this would tend to limit the number of play- ers. The playing of impromptu games has proved to lie more successful in this sport and has resulted in more active student participation. Fun and exercise have thus been placed as the keynote since the premium on winning has been eliminated. One Hundred T inetyfour J NTRA MURAL basketball at Villanova designated as the number one of indoor sports in the mural set-up is the hottest league on the campus. Representing the league are six teams of top-notch competitive calibre, who strive for the championship of mural diadem. Four dormitory squads along with two from the day students make up the background of the league. While the season is divided into two halves, the winners of each division meet in the final play offs for the ultimate championship. All games are subject to National Basketball rules and in this way, intra-mural basketball, with its host of excellent basketeers is known as the “little brother of Varsity basketball. Garbed in the basketball paraphernalia and in the setting of Alumni Hall’s gymnasium the courtsters of Mendel Hall and C. ii F. met in their debut last Fall to initiate the intra-mural season. Mendel Hall took the upper hand in the gruelling contest by the count of 41-36 after a sec-saw battle with action laid thick and fast. Follow- ing the opener Alumni Hall and Mendel Hall provided the contest in which the latter team barely won out over the Grcenies, 26-25, which proved the best-battled game of the first half and enabled the Mendelites to extend their win streak to two games. A few nights later the battle of the upper classmen between Austin Hall and Fedigan Hall saw the Gigolos tally five points in the final seconds of play to beat the Austin quintet, 33-28. The year previous Fedigan was crowned as the intra-mural champions, warding off the C. F.’s offensive play after they had won the second half play-offs. Staging a major upset in the second round the Mendel Residents, who fell before Alumni, came Rack and ad- ministered a surprising defeat to the Fcdiganites, the most feared foes in the league. Don McGurk. one of the C. flC F. Dayhops leading players, gives a little mid-game lecture to a team- mate, who let his man get away from him. McGurk is a typical I-M court- man. He also plays 150-pound football. Intra-mural sports often provide excellent material for the varsity teams. Lloyd Rice, star for- ward on Al Severance's varsity bas- ketball team, is a product of the intra-mural ranks, having played for Alumni at one time. His ability was recognized and he was invited to try out for the varsity. Ralph Terrciano, of the tennis varsity, attracted atten- ion by his showing in the intra-mural tournament two years ago. INTRA-MURALS Action «hots of various intra-mural basketball Rames. Notice the aggres- sive tactics of the ball-hawks. Par- ticularly famous for competitive spirit arc the FediRan-Austin and Austin-Alumni mcrtinRS. Even the hall moderators Ret wrapped up in the Rames and forget their dignity for the time being. All Rames are played in the spacious Alumni Hall gymnasium. The other Freshman quintet, the Greenies of Alumni inspired by their brother yearlings who upset the Fediganites, gained their momen- tum in the race and toppled the Mendel Day-Hops by a 28-13 score. This gave Alumni Hall top honors at the end of the initial week of competition. A three way tic developed for the second positions between Fedigan and the two Mendel teams with the lowly cellar positions being upheld by Austin Hall and Commerce and Finance students. Starting the third round of the league, the Austin dribblers, being slightly embarrassed by their defeats, encountered the first place Alumni squad. To their dismay they again ended in the short side of a 30-26 margin. This game was marked by several outbursts of cheering and friendly frays which only added to the fighting incentive of both teams. The gigolos from Fedigan followed on the double-header by redeeming their followers and defeating the C. F. commuters, 43-29. This win placed Fedigan only a step behind Alumni in the league race. Playing in inconsistent style contrasted to their great defeat of Fedigan, the Mendel Residents slipped back a notch in the runnings by dropping their encounter to the Mendel Day-Hops. Led by its high scoring ace, Dan Keating, Austin Hall finally went on the rebound and eked out a 29-27 victory over the Mendel One Hundred tynctysix Residents as Keating chalked up 18 points in the books. Mendel had a halftime lead of 16-10 but Keatings baskets put his team in the front where they held. At this stage of the race, pennant fever overtook the teams and the long awaited clash between Alumni and Fedigan became of great importance. Alumni's stars John McFadden and Duke King had their eyes in the basket and were set for Fedigan's best quintet, which included Connors, Forkin and Bochetto. The latter being chosen as the representative from Fedigan upon the All-star Intra-mural team. True to their form the Fedigan- ites after staging a sensational game of floorwork triumphed over Alumni's Greenies by the score of 20-18 on Jim Forkin’s Frank Merriwcll” finish. Following Alumni's upset, C. F., resolving to reinstate them- selves came through in style by defeating the two Mendel teams and placed their team in the win column. The following week saw Fedigan nose out Austin Hal! in the roughest game of the series. Seventeen fouls were committed in the night's doings. Infuriated by their defeat at the hands of Fedigan the Alumni frosh once more edged out the hard-luck Mendel Residents by a 27-25 triumph after Mendel valiantly fought to win through its two ace forwards, Martin and Malone. Entering into the final lap Austin edged out the C. F. boys in a wild and wooly game. More mural court action. Charlie Roach in the far left hot isn't really a fancy Dan. Father Dunne. Mod- erator of Alumni Hall, takes great pleasure in provoking arguments among the moderators and often jestingly accuses others of chisel- ing. He takes particular delight in razzing the effort of Father McKee’s Austin teams. Father Dunne’s cup of joy overflowed when Alumni won the boxing crown last winter. INTRA-MURALS Fcdigan also grabbed a close win from the Mendel Residents and the Mendel Day Hops nicked the former league pacers. Alumni Hall by a 23-21 count. Austin Hall now on its way upwards handed Alumni its third beating in as many games and thereby moved up ahead of Alumni in the race. Mendel Resident Hall avenged their former deteat by the Day- Hop rivals, licking them 36-26 to win their second consecutive game after their recent streak of bad luck. In their previous meeting the Fediganitcs had defeated the Greenies but in their second encounter the tables were reversed and the proud rulers of the court were humbled with McFaddcn of Ahimni leading the attack with 18 points. Austin Hall playing in their final games of the first half took on three opponents in one week losing the first fray to the Mendel Day-Hops with Danny Dalina leading the attack. But the next two were victories for the upperclassmen when they downed the C. li F. and Mendel Residents bringing their average to .500 for the first half. With the pennant within reach, Fedigan Hall had weak op- ponents to meet in order to clinch the title. The C. F. quintet and the Mendel commuters, who held the cellar positions all during the latter part of the campaign were easy foes for the Fediganitcs, thereby giving the Maroon team the intra-mural crown of Mural diadem for the first half. By complete surprise the Commerce and Finance men, who wound up upholding the cellar position, jumped into an early lead in the second half, aided by Don McGurk, who left the wars of the gridiron to return to the court. They copped the first two encounters while Alumni Hall split their two contests to place themselves in second position. Still striving for the championship Alumni administered C. F.'s initial defeat of the second compaign by trouncing them 42-32. The Greenies spurted to victory with Duke King's nineteen points. The six positions were stable as the close grew near with C. F. pacing the leaders. The victory by the Mendel Day-Hops over Fedigan enabled C. F. to automatically move into first place for the second half championship. This necessitated a play-off between the winners of the two halves and the tremendous punch of Fedigan enabled them to again repeat their victory of a year previous and gain the 1939-40 Basketball Championship. Amassing 186 points during the campaign, Dan Keating of Austin Hall led the league in scoring, while Alumni’s ace, Duke King, followed with 150 counters. Third place went to Frank Con- nors of Fedigan with 143 points. An All-Intra-mural Team was chosen consisting of, Joe Bochetto of Fedigan who made the team for his fourth year, Dan Keating of Austin who had been honored for his third year and Duke King of Alumni who gained the position for the first time. Art Martin of the Mendel Residents and Bob DePersio of the Mendel Day Hops gained the two remaining posts. The second team consists of John McFadden, Alumni; Dan Dalina, Mendel Day-Hops; Frank Connors, Fedigan; Don McGurk, C. 6 F.: Jim O’Brien. Mendel Residents and Jim Meehan, C. or F.

INTRA-MURALS ETAINING its high standing in the ranks of intra mural sports. Baseball was ushered into its fifth season with four battling halls waging their weapons of warfare, each set on capturing first place for the campus championship. The league with its four representatives, Austin, Mendel, Fcdigan and Alumni has its playing grounds on Mendel Field. Sunday is the day when each club pits its strongest combination against the other. As each Sunday goes by the action grows more intensifying and the crowds respond in increasing numbers. With the regulations estab- lished and the umpires placed along the lines of firing each game pos- sesses keen action highlighted by players who have outstanding ability in their respective positions. Last Spring, Fedigan Hall, Frank Castles Co. heaping top honors, captured the championship after battling all year against Austin's valiant nine. But this year the race will be more tightly woven with Austin Hall and Mendel Hall looming as possible leaders. Castles has departed from the Fcdiganites’ ranks, while Austin, with Steve Aisenbrey and Mendel, with Joe Malone, have the pitching strength, which, as always in the past, has decided the endurance of the clubs. New uniforms, from top to bottom, along with an additional supply of baseball paraphernalia will add color to the contests and thus place this sport into the top class of mural ball playing. Governed by their their mentors who scheme and act in the ways of big league managers, this year's league will be a fast and colorful promenade. As pre-season dope denoted, Austin Hall and Mendel Hall took their openers before a large crowd. Steve Aisenbrey, on the mound for the Austinites met their traditional rivals, Fedigan and Left: He's not really hurt but he likes the sympathy. There is always aid handy in case anyone might in- cur injury. Center: A lusty swing and a long hit for this slugger in an in- ter-hall game. Right: He’s got proof that he used to play baseball. Note the team name on the shirt he forgot to return to the former team. Just a baseball hero.” Baseball is the leading spring sport for the I-M group. � Tu-o Hundred i u ' USt ' scven ’nn'n affair. Austin triumphed by a 5-4 score. In the afternoon game, joe Malone hurled his nine to an amazing “•''1° v ctory in a game which lasted about three hours. John McGuire broke up the game in the seventh by singling home the winning run after Walt Nicora walked, stole second anil went to third on an error. The first three innings of the affair were score- less and then after both teams had tied up the count the outfielder climaxed the contest with his winning hit. The Mendcl-Alumni game was marked by some wild and wooly playing. Instead of a pitchers battle the game found itself one of those amusing slugfests combined with plenty of errors. Alumni scored their ten runs on five hits and admitted the other Freshman nine with twenty-three runs on twelve hits and eight errors. Alumni’s star Jack Geipe collected two hits, a triple and a single, and one walk in four times at bat. Lucas and Callahan did the twirling for Alumni. Mendel s hero for the day was Malone who struck out ten men of the sixteen who face him. He also fared well at bat with two hits. ALUMNI HALL Front row Gcipw, Munemokcr. Donnell . Mok ««. Collohon.

Right: The individual hall champions in a recent tourney line up for a posed shot before going to work at elim- inating each other. All tourney matches are played on the excellent courts overlooking Lancaster Pike. C? ECOND on Villanova’s extensive intra-mural program is its tennis tournament played on the College courts. The popu- larity of this sport was shown by the large enrollment in the tourna- ment this year. Eaeh hall and each day student team played an individual tourney of its own, and the winner was the one who represented his hall in the final contest with the victors from the other halls. These tournaments for the coveted honor of playing for the championship were very thrilling and closely contested. A fine array of talent was displayed, with the result that several of the contestants have been encouraged to try for the varsity squad. Bad weather conditions delayed the contests several times. The final match was held over for two weeks due to rain, and as a result the finals lacked the accuracy and fine array of shots which featured the semi- and quarter-final rounds. Ralph Terraciano of Austin Hall captured the title over the promising freshman star, George McFadden, of Alumni. Ralph, after beating down all opposition in Austin, triumphed over Bob Keeler of Fedigan Hall and Tom Chegin, Mendel Hall champion. After downing both these opponents he met McFadden, conqueror of Jerry Bek ot the Mendel day students, who had drawn a bye into the finals. After Georges loss in the finals the freshman hall had 7 points, beating out Fedigan for second place. With the intra-mural fervor growing stronger after Austin’s monopoly in the first places, the keenest of competition was expected in future events on the schedule. ¥■¥ IGH on the list of Villa nova's intramural schedule is th annual golf tournament open to all students of the Colley Th usual rivalry was present as some thirty odd players teed off it the Main Line Open Golf Club, each with high hopes of breaking the course's par or at least coming near it. These sand trap experts represented the six teams of the intra mural league. The golfers performed under the watchful eyes of the members of the varsity who arc constantly on the lookout for future Sammy Sneads and Byron Nelsons. Hotly following the fairways and oc- casionally the roughs, the boys rounded the final dog leg, replacing all divots, of course, then chipped on to the eighteenth green, two-putted, tipped their caddies, and turned in their cards. The result of this pleasant afternoon's sport was that Austin Hall's Joe Rozum took the championship with a card of 84. Joe was followed closely by his fellow Austinite, Jack Maher, who unfortun- ately just rolled into two of those hoo-doo water holes and lost two strokes to wind up with an 86. A tie developed for third place as another Austinite. Ernest Klappenback, holed out an 87 along with Marvin Mones of the Mendel day students. Using his niblick from behind a side bunker, Schwartz, also a Mendel day hop, blasted out onto the green and putted for an 88. In like manner, Jim Brown of Alumni Hall used his jigger from the edge of the fairway and then putted out for an 89. Although there wasn't any $10,000 purse for the winning dormi tory, Austin Hall received ten precious points to assume first place in the closely contested race for the intra mural championship and the privilege of holding the trophy for the coming year. Teed down in second place was the Mendel day hop team and under the third divot was Alumni Hall. The boys didn't break the club record or anything, but they did display a fairly good amount of talent which may bring any one of them to the National Open Championship.

Tu-o Hundred Three I INTRA-MURALS ITILLANOVA'S annual Boxing and Wrestling Show familiar and traditional as other Villanova parades of Sports marked its dehut on the cold evening of March 4 at the Field House as some thousand antics of the ringside shouted and howled at fourteen bouts featuring pugilistic talent. The evenings highlight featured four rounds of boxing between Villanova and Seymour A. C. Six weeks marked the training period for the contestants, per- forming daily workouts under the supervision of Ray Gadsby, Athletic trainer and former Olympic boxing star and pointers were given by Bill Duffy and Eddie Kirk, members of Villanova s boxing team of the year past. Alumni Hall, champion of champions, garnered the most points for the night thereby repeating their title for the third consecutive year. Their battlers outpointed the powder-puffs of the other halls upon the campus. Second to Alumni was the team of Mendel Day- Hops who tallied seven counters, while Austin Hall received third place. The opening slugfest marked the return of Austin's battler Charlie Lozowski who won the nod over Dan Savini of Alumni in a three round tussle. George Bourus lost his fight to Frank Melo- grana. defending champion of Simpson Hall. Liberti got the decision over Tom Junker, while long-armed Bill Howlett repulsed modest Elk Murray in a battle of football heavyweights. Scotty Boyle slugged out a decision over Johnny Schreck. Ken Whisner and Hank Christman, two Alumni sluggers danced out three hilarious rounds to a draw. Steve Gasparovic and Jim Higgins waged a close battle with the nod finally going to Steve. Bill Nocco came back to out-point Tom Dunne in the lightweight division which clinched the title for Alumni Hall. The last intra mural event brought the best of leather twisters, two slinging heavyweights of the varsity football team, George Smith and Vince Carlesimo, who punched each other for a draw. In two wild bouts of Wrestling, one a draw and the other a decision, the fans worked themselves into a frenzy as two opponents carefully manipulated each other out of the ring. Tony Angel'' Anderson rugged guard of the turf and Ben Danik put on a wild exhibition of bone-crushing art while Ray Pescatore pinned Nick Petrillo. The varsity boxers engaged and outscorcd the Seymour A. C. in the final matches. Duffy, Mentzinger and Purzycki turned in wins for the Blue and White.

Fraternity, for the first time in its history, had to enlarge its bowling program to include two leagues. Both at the gym and at the Ardmore alleys, every Friday and Saturday afternoon found teams of bowling enthusiasts attempting to roll over their opposition and into the league lead. At the end of the season, the winning team of both divisions played-off for the frat championship. Dan Crossmire, in charge of the school's two alleys, told us there have been no “three-hundred” scores this season, but some of the better bowlers were getting closer each week to that goal of perfection. The pool-room, located in the left wing of the gym- nasium, is also under the supervision of Dan Crossmire. Five tables, kept in excellent condition, are at the stu- dents' disposal every afternoon. A few real “cue-artists” as well as a good number of novices keep this section of the Field House well populated. Despite the number of students taking part in this sport, no casualties have been reported to date. Lrfl: Wrestling action, sideshow of the Mural Boxing rvrnti.

Grouped around are several of the varsity swimmers. of the most thrilling events on the intra-mural program of the past year was the swimming meet. A large crowd of excited spectators thronged the observation platform of Villanova's swimming pool on the evening of December 6, to watch Fr. McKee's Austin natators defend the crown which they had won so easily the year before. Before the meet the Austinites were favored to retain the championship, but the competition was expected to be keener, with the untried Freshmen, as usual, supplying the “dark horse element. The eager and anxious crowd were first treated to an exhibition by the varsity swimmers who, of course, are ineligible for intra mural competition. Then the meet began. In the first event, the 50-yard free style, Melchor Gaston, of Fedigan, splashed to victory to retain the crown he had won the previous year, while swimming for Austin. This was but the first in a scries of hard-fought, speedy races which made the waters of the p x� l fairly churn as the program moved towards a thrilling and breath-taking climax. Jack Mauch, a Mendel Day Student, won the 100 yard free style. Green of Austin placed first in the fancy diving event. The medley relay was won by the Mendel Residents and the free-style relay by C. F. A point tabulation at this time showed that the Mendel Residents, Austin and C. Is: F. were Tno Hundred Six INTRA-MURALS hunched within five points of each other with scores of 24, 25 and 19 respectively. And there was hut one event left on the program! The crowd, sensing the Dick Merriwell situation, rose to its feet as this final event, the 50 yard breaststroke, began. There was a terrific din as the straining swimmers splashed through the foaming waters of the pool. The din increased as three swimmers from the two leading teams surged into the van. Then it was Desmond, of Mendel Residents pulling away and this speedy Freshman toppled mighty Austin from its throne as he submarined to victory, fully four yards in front of his closest opponent. As if to add insult to injury, Reilly of Mendel just edged out Lyons, who was valiantly trying to uphold the Austin prestige, for second place. Father McQuade, moderator of Mendel was proud and jubilant as he congratulated the heros; Father McKee was crestfallen; the crowd was going crazy; Freshmen were very happy and the upperclassmen seemed a little bit shamefaced as this very thrilling athletic event passed into history. The great interest manifested in this swimming meet this year bids fair to make it one of the most prominent events on the intra- mural program. It is fitting that this should be so for few sports, if any, are more beneficial to the student than swimming. It is to be hoped that still more Villanovans will participate in the future to make this meet once again the thrilling event that it was this year.

The Winter Scene that met the Seniors' eyes as they shrugged out of their wraps was worthy of a Ziegfield, done resplendently with snow-covered fir trees, frozen fountains, and warm fireplaces. Through it all ran the moaning of a trombone presided over by Teagarden of the blues, sixteen able assistants, and the bewitching Kitty Kallen, to lend words to the thoughts we were trying to express. An evening of enchantment, of pulsating music, the evening we sang our swan song in tails—for these pleasures Bob Wilderotter and his committee will ever have all the gratitude that is ours to bestow.

Two Hundred Seventeen The Junior Prom THE Junior Prom, traditionally perfect in setting, color, and dress, highlighted the week affectionately known as the Social Carousel. Soft lights and sweet music coupled with the decorative grandeur that was the Field House, wove a spell of delight over dancing couples that had its outlet in subdued gaiety. Tails and evening gowns flared and swirled to the wail of a trumpet and the cadenzas of orchestrated reeds; rendezvous were kept on the sidelines; and the ever- present laughing groups engrossed in chatter completed the scene that is emblematic of our Junior Prom. Spring lent her touch of flowers and sweet breezes; gladly we responded with careless hearts and dancing feet. But then nights like these are never endless, and the Kind swung into the knell of their theme, reminding us that another Prom had run its course, and another page was added to our book of memories. To George Coupe and his committee went our orchids for the splendid affair, and swiftly the May night enveloped us in its warmth. Op potile page: Top left: Dan Keating.

ORGANIZATIONS Student G overnment ORIENTATION COMMITTEE war?'1C,K0 phCKmOSt iSPOrtam K™pS °n the campus duri K rly part of the a nk ” 0r,cnta 'on Committee. Composed of the Student Council pluj, a carefully chosen group of Sophomores, its duty is to welcome the incoming Fresh- men and get them started on the right track. College life is a new and strange experience to the average Freshman, and he usually enters upon it with a certain amount of awe and fright. It is the task of the Committee to dispel these inhibitions and at the same time acquaint the new student with the traditions of the College, and give him helpful suggestions that will make his sojourn more pleasant and profitable. The Orientation program consists mainly of a series of meetings at which the Frosh are taught the College songs and yells, given their regs, and instructed in the Freshman rules. General Orientation instructions are also given. Then the Com- mittee continues to keep an eye on its charges, watching their progress, and if necessary, calling to their attention failings and mistakes.

THE STUDENT COUNCIL The Student Council was designed to provide a practical and workable method of bringing together the Student Body and the College administration. It is the official student spokesman when complaints, suggestions, or requests are to be made to the College authorities. It also conducts all student elections, student meetings, and assumes the direction of any student gathering whose purpose is the expression of loyalty, opinion, or sympathy. Since 1938 the Student Council has been a part of the Freshman Orientation Committee. The various classes are represented in the Council, and in addition the students are given representation as social and literary' groups by the inclusion of delegates from the fraternities and College publications. Thus first-hand experience in leadership, cooperation, and the workings of democracy and citizenship are afforded in a definite measure to every student in the College. It can truthfully be said, in fact, that this is one of the chief purposes for which the Student Council was founded.

Two Hundred Tuxntythree Religious Societies THE HOLY SAME SOCIETY The Holy Name Society at Villanova is dedicated to the cause of clean speech and especially to reverence for the Sacred Name of our Saviour. Unlike most parish Holy Name Societies, however, its activities are largely confined to those of a spirit- ual nature. The reason for this is that the members, being students on the same college campus, are already brought together as a group, and therefore do not need to resort to artificial means to achieve this end. Then, too, the various college activities amply take care of the social needs of the students, so that this responsibility does not devolve on the Holy Name Society as an organization. On the First Friday of each month, during the school year, the members of the Society as a group attend Mass and receive Holy Communion. This act is an inspiring, visible, testimonial of their high ideals. THE SANCTUARY SOCIETY The Sanctuary Society assists at all religious services at Villanova. Its members serve Holy Mass and Benediction and perform other duties about the chapel, such as caring for the hymn cards, setting up portable confessionals, and selling religious articles during retreats. Monthly meetings are presided over by President Charles Martin. Instructions are given on the liturgy and on some of the finer points of serving at the altar by the College Chaplain and moderator of the Sanctuary Society, the Rev. Joseph I. Boyle. O.S.A. A great share of responsibility rests upon the Secretary, who for the past year has been Richard Gray. It is his duty to make up schedules for servers, and to notify each man when his turn comes. It is a tradition of the Society that a priest shall never be left to say Mass without a server if a member is present in the congregation. THE CATHOLIC PRESS APOSTOLATE This group is made up of students who are interested in promoting the Catholic press on the campus, thus helping to fulfill one of the chief desires of Our Holy Father. Under the leadership of Bernard Crumb, President, the members take care of distributing religious posters and notices, and conduct a pamphlet rack at the rear of the Church. Another phase of their activity is the collection of all kinds of religious pamphlets, periodicals, and magazines which are sent to missions both at f home and abroad. In an average college year, the Catholic Press Apostolatc distributes about fourteen thousand copies of current Catholic publications to students at the college. At the Open House last year it displayed a large and interesting collection of various types of Catholic literature. The work of the organization is growing, and gives promise of even greater future success.

Tu-o Hundred Tu-entyfive 4 m Engineering Societies VILLANOVA CHEMICAL ENGINEERS SOCIETY In the few years of its existence the Villanova Chemical Society has equalled the accomplishments of its rival organisations. This year a well-balanced program .f observation trips was supplemented by active bi-monthly meetings. Trips included in- spections of the Lavino Company at Plymouth Meeting, Pa. and the Atlantic Refining Company in Philadelphia. At the meetings members of the faculty and students presented talks, followed by general discussion, on many subjects pertinent to chemistry. Metallurgy received special notice in these meetings. One meeting was particularly memorable for an illuminating talk by a representative of Bausch and Lomb Optical Company. AMERICAN SOCIETY OF CIVIL ENGINEERS In an effort to witness practical application of civil engineering, Villanova's chapter of the A.S.C.E. traveled as far as New York's Queens Tunnel and as near as Radnor's Activated Sludge Plant. Visits to a steel mill and a cement plant demon- strated the manufacture of the two materials most often used in the solution of civil engineering problems. Bi-monthly meetings were conducted in the form of seminars. Among other subjects the student members presented illustrated lectures on the West Side Elevated Highway, the Catskill water supply system, and Aerial Photography. AMERICAN INSTITUTE OF ELECTRICAL ENGINEERS This year Villanova's Electrical Engineers joined their fellow members throughout the country in celebrating the fiftieth anniversary of the founding of the A.i.E.E. The entire Villanova branch made a two-day trip to Scranton, Pa. in order to partici- pate in the Eastern District convention of the Institute. At the regular bi-monthly meetings of the local chapter student reports were made on subjects of a technical nature interesting to the members. In addition to this, the society sponsored the activities of the Electrical Engineering Department and provided enlightening inspect uni trips for the members. AMERICAN SOCIETY OF MECHANICAL ENGINEERS Mechanical engineering in its various phases was well illustrated by the functions of the student chapter of Mechanical Engineers. Members of the Villanova chapter participated in the society's annual convention, held in Philadelphia, and assisted at the technical sessions. Inspection trips were made to the Ford Motor Company at Chester, the Hydro-electric Plant at Conowingo, Maryland, and the Baldwin Locomo- tive Plant at Eddystonc. In addition lectures were delivered by the representatives of the Atlantic Refining Company and the Yale and Towne Manufacturing Company. At various times movies of technical processes were presented. Upper left: Villanova Chemical Society: Pint row: Nardi, Pctrclla, Madison. Malkin, Dr. Haenisch. Cierkowski, Maucicri.

Two Hundred Twcntyscven The College Band S THE band marches down the field, what collegiate heart does not thrill to the beat of the drums, the blare of the brass, and the sun burnishing the instruments to a golden glow? In rows of blue and white, Villanova's smartly clad unit makes its appearance with the tang of fall air. marching and counter-marching with snap precision born of long afternoons of drilling. The spirit and color that is a vital part of football stadia finds its moving outlet in the band, embellishing that movement with formations reflecting the ingenuity of director Teel. Most inspiring of all sights is the V” formation, and as the members doff their shakos as a prelude to our Alma Mater, all the rooters bask in the glory that this marching aggregation gathers as its due. Even in the enemy’s lair of Temple Stadium the band created a sensation with a set of swing tunes that could have done justice to the Dixieland Five and vied with the Templars in musically expressing the fight that was Villanova. The crowd was ours, the day was ours, and the band was our mouthpiece in crashing crescendos of martial victory marches.

Right: The accompanist, Tke Glee Club TTILLANOVA may not be a “College of Musical Knowledge,” but nevertheless th? “ varied groups of musical organisations that function throughout the college year present a wide variety of activities for those musically inclined. Accordingly, the program is admirably adapted to the needs of the students, so that the Kind, glee club, and dance orchestra can absorb the talents of every aspirant. The student orchestra offers opportunities to those musicians who find their out' let in swing, and through the school year it plays at all informal dances, besides filling outside engagements. The “Villanovans” are distinctive in arrangements, novelties, and a complete “book” of tunes. Rounding out this phase of extracurricular activity arc the symphonic band and glee club. The latter has thrilled its listeners in the past with its tonal qualities and fine presentation, presaging the worth of future concerts directed by Fr. Handran.

Holding forth weekly under the guidance of Father Dunne and Dr. Hartman, representative students from the History and Government classes discuss such vital current questions as Peace and War, Neutrality, and Social and Economic Legislation. Usually, a member presents a paper on a subject of timely interest. DRAMA SEMINAR The past year has witnessed the birth of a new organisation on the campus, the Drama Seminar. Begun under the direction of Fr. Robert M. Sullivan, O.S.A., the seminar purposes to familiarise the student with trends in the modern stage, to give him an opportunity to study character interpretation. The activities of the group include play reading, the presentation of scenes or spots' from various plays, and the discussion of dramatic technique. THE SOCIOLOGY SEMINAR Under the direction of the Reverend Vincent A. McQuade, O.S.A., a seminar organised as an adjunct to the sociology classes meets every other week to discuss pressing current social problems. Among the questions discussed during the past year were anti-Semitism, labor and labor legislation, unionism and employer-employee relations, and the problem of lynching. In this manner the members are acquainted with the Christian principles involved in many of the present world conditions which as citizens they will have an opportunity to help remedy. INTERNATIONAL RELATIONS SEMINAR A consideration of international relations with regard to peace—the problems and solutions, viewed from a Catholic standpoint—is the principal object of the Inter- national Relations Seminar. The organization which functions under the leadership of Fr. William F. Lunney, O.S.A., is a member of several national and local peace groups. In their study of world problems the members make use of the pamphlets prepared by the Catholic Association For International Peace and the books which are supplied twice a year by the Carnegie Endowment For International Peace. Upper left: Topics of current interest, in politics and history, provide material for discussion.

Lower right: Political and cultural prob- lems of international importance, challenge these students to offer a solution. The ever growing maze of affairs, further com- plicated by recent military and economic developments, serve as lively subjects of discussion. Here arc Bongiovanni, D’An- gelo. Way and Collins, meeting to study the foreign situation. Tiro Hundred Thirty-two Seminars THE MUSIC SEMINAR The Music Seminar is among the most popular of all. Every week it has drawn a gathering that has filled most of the available space in Simpson Hall. During the first semester Father Vrana pre- sented a series of recordings of classical music, taken from the works of the great composers, and ac- companied by a short biographical sketch of each. The second semesters program has consisted chiefly of sound motion pictures showing the various groups of instruments that make up a symphony orchestra. THE PHILOSOPHY SEMINAR The Philosophy Seminar was organized last year in order to provide an opportunity for an informal discussion of Philosophical problems, and their re- lation to social and political questions. The thoughts of the greatest philosophers of ancient and modern times are analyzed. At the bi-weekly meetings each member submits a review of some work in which there is a general interest, and the others criticize his interpretation of it, or perhaps criticize the book itself or the author, and discuss the implications which it contains. Father Dwyer is moderator. THE RESEARCH SEMINAR To foster that curiosity among the students which is the foundation of all great work in scientific research is the purpose of the Research Seminar, under the direction of Father Donnellon. The accomplishment of this aim is sought in two ways: (1) papers arc delivered by workers in the active field of research, broadening the students' out- look by direct access to practical information, and (2) the members present reports on their own re- search problems encountered from time to time in the course of laboratory work. Top: An attentive «roup of music lover� listen to Dr. Haenisch give one of hi lecture-recitals at a meeting of the popular Music Seminar.

Ttvo Hundred Thirty-four Clubs THE GERMAN CLUB The primary purpose of the German Club is to study those phases of the life and language of a foreign country which cannot he treated in class because of the necessarily limited allotment of time and also to give the students an opportunity to become more fluently conversant in the language. Fr. Lunney, faculty moderator, hopes to further the aims of the organization by the use of the College's recently acquired recording machine and film pro- jeetor for which Father plans to obtain German records and films. THE MATHEMATICS CLUB The Mathematics Club, organized last year by Professor Emil Amelotti, is open to students who have completed the first half of their Freshman year, and have received a grade of A or have been specially recommended by their teachers. At the meetings the lives of famous Mathematicians are studied, and various methods of solving problems which have been encountered in class are analyzed. In order to bring the members closer together in a social way an annual banquet is held. The officers of the Club for the past year are: Vincent A. Gor- don. President; Nicholas Accto, Secretary; and Thomas Junker, Treasurer. THE SPANISH CLUB The Spanish Club was started to satisfy that curiosity which the study of the language excites, that is, to know more about Spain and Spanish speaking countries. Father Lorenzo Lozano, him- self a Spaniard, is the ideal moderator for the group. At the Open House the members presented a play entirely in Spanish. The Club is affiliated with the Columbia University Spanish Club, and each year the members compete for a medal given for the best essay on Cervantes. This year s officers are: President, Frank Quinones: Vice-President, Henry Martinez; Secretary. Joseph Scomovacchi: and Treasurer, Manuel Alsino. SPANISH CLUB Bottom: Spanish Club.

Schubert, D’Angelo, Joseph Bongiovanni, O'Connell, John Bongio- vanni. Two members were absent when the picture was scheduled to be taken. PHI KAPPA PI In the Fall of 1907, a score of students from the newly founded School of Engineering established what has since become the largest fraternal organisation on the campus. Adhering constantly to the original purposes of its founders the organi' ration has prospered and expanded through the years. While other organizations have been established only to fade out of existence, this fraternity immediately sprang into prominence and has remained in the limelight ever since. Phi Kappa Pi has been consistent in its successes and has never lacked resourceful leaders. These factors plus the enthusiasm of its members arc some of the reasons why it has continued to flourish while other organizations have felt the clutches of internal decay. This year has been no exception. The Traditional Owl Hop in the fall certainly lived up to all expectations. This brilliant affair was featured in the college Field House where perfectly attired couples danced to the sweet rhythms of our own Villanovans. Then, on November 16, the annual smoker was held in the Commerce and Finance auditorium. On February 5, a banquet helped over fifty new members forget the ordeal of initiation. Over two hundred members, faculty representatives, and guests partook of the evening’s festivities. In the late spring the Phi Kappa Pi Dinner Dance was held in a nearby country club at which the senior members received keys. Thus the social season closed, leaving the Engineers a host of memories and another brilliant page written in the fraternity's history. The following were the fraternity's officers: President, Harold Murphy; Vice- President, John Skelly; Treasurer, Frank Abbott; Secretary, Thomas Maley; Sergeant- at-Arms, Daniel Keating; Student Council, Walter Kelly.

EPSILON PHI THETA Brewing student interest in the Arts Schtx l finally came to a boil this year and effected a rejuvenation of the temporarily inactive Arts Fraternity, Epsilon Phi Theta This fraternity enjoys the unique distinction of being the oldest fraternal orgamza tion at Villanova. Dating back to the pre-war period in Villanova's history. Ep il n Phi Theta has been singularly outstanding for its ideals of hrotherlxxx] Gmtribu tions to the service during the World War so depleted the ranks of the organisation that it was disbanded but revived shortly thereafter. Members of Epsilon Phi Theta have been prominent and instrumental in the growth of tradition which can develop only in the course of time. It is only fitting that the Arts Sch x l which typifies most completely the ideals of higher education should be represented in the extra-curricula program by a lively and well organised group of members. The ideas for numerous activities of interest to Villanovans have had their germination and received their motivating force from Epsilon Phi Theta. Under the competent guidance of Father Dwyer, a full and well rounded program of activities was successfully conducted. Having completed the necessary formalities accompanying reorganization, the initiation of new members was held A Smoker and a Dinner, at which occasion senior members were presented with key.-, signifying the bonds of brotherhood, were highlights of the fraternity functions Officers for the year were; Joseph MacNamara, President: James Gill ins. Vice President; William Way, Treasurer; Thomas M x re, Secretary and Robert Wilde rotter. Student Council representative. LAMBDA KAPPA DELTA Paralleling the origin and rise of the Science School has been the development of the Lambda Kappa Delta fraternity. For twenty-five years the two have been linked together and during all these years it has taken the best of each class, the zealous students of biology, chemistry, anatomy et al . . . the doctors of tomorrow, and banded them into a congenial, harmonious unit. There are many factors to which we might attribute the fraternity's success, but perhaps the most plausible one is the fact that literally only the cream of the pre- medical crop are accepted as members. Not only must the pledgees have the approba- tion of the faculty but they must also undergo one of the most stringent initiations of any such organization on the campus. These initiations are the terror of every aspirant and one who has successfully passed this all-important test may feel reasonably certain that lie has already undergone the worst trial that will have to be borne in the interests of the fraternity. In its efforts to strengthen the ties of brotherhood between the members, the L.K.D. considers its social activities an indispensable aid. This year, for instance, under the presidency of Charles Martin '40, the fraternity sponsored the successful Fall Dance and culminated the year's activities in the Spring with a dinner. It is a farewell celebration tendered the senior members, as it is usually the last official function in which they engage as undergraduates in the fraternity.

CHI EPSILON MU Membership in this fraternity, formed in May, 1959. is the highest honor an engineering student can attain. Membership is limited to Junior and Senior students who have exhibited outstanding scholastic records throughout their college careers. Nominations for admission are made by a board of faculty members. In March, six new members, two Seniors and four Juniors, were admitted to the society, bringing the total membership to twelve. The initiation banquet in April was attended by the entire engineering faculty and a prominent guest speaker was presented. In May. a Senior trip to New York City's sewage disposal plant at Ward's Island was arranged and conducted by the fraternity. At present the fraternity is local, but lcx ks forward to affiliation with a national engineering honorary group. With the membership com- prising the intelligentsia of the Engineering School great things arc expected in the future from Villanova's only honor society. DELTA PI EPSILON The reorganization of the Delta Pi Epsilon fraternity in the Sch x l of Commerce and Finance fills a need that has been felt for several years. The fraternity aims to forge a closer bond of friendship among the business students during their stay at Villanova; to sponsor lectures by business men; and to hold social affairs that will be in keeping with the spirit of the fraternity. First appearing on the campus in 1920, the fraternity paralled the rise of the School of Commerce and Finance to a place of leadership among the country's foremost business schools under the guidance of the Dean, Father Bartley by becoming the largest and most influential body on the campus. But the student interest decreased and Delta Pi Epsilon became dormant until this year when George Flannery began to stir things up. In March the following officers were elected: President, Francis Connors: Vice-President, Edward Jonik; Secretary, George Flannery; Treasurer, John Brennan; Sergeant-at-Arms. Arthur Murphy; Student Council, James Brady. Two Hundred Thirty-nine Belle M a$q[lie presents THE TAVERN ■FOURTH in a scries of annual major productions, George M. Cohan's drama, “The Tavern, was rendered a smash hit at the Villanova Field House on April 17 and 21, 1940. This play marked a new high in dramatic enterprise at Villanova. The stellar performance of Belle Masque vet- eran, Robert O'Brien, in the leading role of the Vagabond was supplemented by veteran McNa- mara, and newcomers Cook, Buckley, McGovern, Burke, and Donovan. Imparting the necessary color to the difficult feminine roles were four talented actresses from the Jest and Jesture Club of Rosc- mont College. Under the guidance of Father Sullivan, Mod- erator of Belle Masque, the Stage Committee achieved perfection in producing a set which com- plemented the dramatic skill of the cast. Robert Dooley did yeoman work in construction. Director Frayne once again displayed his superb ability as a casting and production director; and his sincerity and engaging pleasantness endeared him to all the members of the cast.

Two Hundred Forty-one Debating BETA GAMMA LONG with their usual intercollegiate schedule, r ' Beta Gamma, Villanova s varsity debating society, completed the season by winning a radio debate with Penn. Intcrclass debates and “Town Meeting talks were conducted under the guidance of faculty moderator Professor Frayne and the do- bate council, which engendered student interest. FROSH DEBATERS rpHE Frosh debaters, unlike the varsity, confined their activities to intercollegiate contests and a few practice debates between the members of the society. Loring A. Jones, a Commerce student, was elected Manager of the society, and though ham- pered by lack of time, succeeded in arranging a full schedule which included traditional rivals.

The latter serves as a means of escape from the ordinary things of life and projects us into the world of imagination. The busy routine of academic life limits the amount of time available for leisurely reading but even the busiest student can spare a few moments occasionally to peruse a worth while story or book. It is with this thought in mind that 'J cath the Spires is published each week and posted on the various bulletin boards. Timely messages, brief and varied, thoughtful but not academic, intelligent though not ponderously intellectual, help to develop an awareness of things which might ordinarily escape attention. Tsjtfdth the Spires is a journalistic means adapted to the end of improving student speech, conduct, and morale. Helpful suggestions concerning religious obligations, thoughts to stimulate good fellowship, friendly warnings around exam time and an occasional constructive criticism form the messages imparted by this publication of the Chaplain's office. No one is above these gentle reminders and admonitions which the editor, Father Boyle, presents in such a quiet and unobtrusive manner. It assists the Chaplain in keeping in constant touch with the student body, particularly the non-residents who are unable to par- ticipate in the regular religious activities such as chapel attendance and weekly Mass on the campus. Arresting cartoons supplement the brief comments, helping to emphasise and portray the messages im- parted in an appropriately informal manner. His close contact with the students in the capacity of teacher, in addition to serving as Chaplain, enables Father Boyle to fully understand and appreciate their problems. Father Boyle, College Chaplain, writes and edits 'Neath the Spire . His tactful consideration of the prob- lems of young men has won the re- spect and admiration of his charges. NOTHING With this issue, we re- NEW vivo the spirit of THE MIRROR, but under a new name. NEATH THE SPIRES. The spirit of the old. we hope to carry on in the new. It is that spirit for which the “The Spires of Villanova stand. The spirit they have always meant to symbolize for every man who comes beneath them, and for every man who walks forth a son of Alma Mater. It is the spirit that is the very ideal of Villanova THE DEVELOP- MENT OF THE CATHOLIC GEN- TLEMAN. GET You were in earnest TO WORK on Registration Day. You were determined to make good this year. What about it! Arc you falling down on the job? Quarterly Exams are just around the corner. There is your job—prepara- tion for these and the rest of the year's exams. That means WORK. And WORK IS NOT PLAY. ENDURING It is said love makes LOVE the world go “round. We believe it can also be said love will be around when the world stops. Why? Because mankind has the love of a woman who inspires eternal love. She is the fairest, purest, grandest flower of womanhood. A woman whose influence has ever been a refining, elevating, ennobling one. Mary is indeed the grandest creature God ever made. KEEP FIT At the same time be sensible. There is sweat- ing to be done on the held or at the gym, if you expect to be in condition for labor at the books. Get a share of physical exercise daily. Never let a day pass without freshly airing tho e lungs. Schedule the day o that you get exercise and study at the proner times, then to bed at the reasonable hour.
