' Published hy the Senior Class oi Vill THE 1941 ova College VUlanova, Pennsylvania I!UL11' IMS Tilli CATHOLIC IIIE.IL IIP LIFE FOR centuries, man has spent endless hours in searching his soul, studying nature and speculating on his own end. Countless books have been written, innumerable dissertations given, thousands of lives devoted to study, and frightful wars fought in varied attempts to attain or preserve a true con- cept of the creator and of man’s relation to Him and to other men. Reason alone is sufficient to enable an individual to learn of and to understand the spiritual relationship which links every man to God, as a Father. But to make certain that every man might more clearly and fully know and appreciate just what is meant by this divine kinship, Christ Himself came upon earth to teach men this truth through means in keeping with his nature. By combining in Himself both the nature of God and the nature of man. He gave a visible demonstration of the similarity of the divine and human nature. At the same time He gave man a rule of life, which if followed will lead man to eventual union with his Creator. Not in science, in economics, in false social theories do we find the correct principle of living, but rather must we look at ourselves as brothers and children of the same Father. Because the Senior Class of Villanova College is convinced that it is in this true concept of God and man that we find a solution for the evils so rampant in society, they have chosen to announce their entry into the world of affairs by reminding men to return to a mode of life founded on this principle of brotherly love. For this reason the 1941 Belle Air” portrays by word and in picture how Villanova College teaches the theory of the Fatherhood of God in class and fosters the practice of the proper concept of the Brotherhood of man in its collegiate life. IN DEDICATING the 1941 BELLE AIR we have in mind a group who, we feel, are ultimately more responsible for what we have received at Villanova than any others. True they have not administered to our spiritual, intellectual, or material needs. We have not been inspired by their lectures or influenced by their personalities, because we have not seen them or known them, except in the pages of Villanova’s history. But as we trace the growth and development of the College throughout its near-century of existence, we find that step by step they have laboriously built up what now exists for us as a Catholic educational institu- tion. Its campus and buildings are the monument to their energy and enterprise. It is to them that we owe Villanova, because were it not for them we would not have it. Their struggles and perseverance in the face of difficulties and discour- agement have borne fruit which has far outlasted their individual lives. Banded together in common cause for the greater glory of God, they chose to give rather than to receive, and we have been the beneficiaries of their efforts. So it is only fitting that we pay tribute to the deceased faculty members of Villanova by gratefully dedicating to them the 1941 BELLE AIR.

As our Father, He has a rightful I jurisdiction over us; His eternal interest in the affairs of man is manifested by continual help and protection afforded through the medium of divine providence and is not intended to be limited to laying down a rule of life and instituting the means whereby it may be followed. As our parent, God has established a mode of life which if followed will lead eventually back to Him. All men have as a Father the most perfect of Beings, and by reason of this divine Parenthood, have certain God-like characteristics which can be utilized only if men recognize their divine Parent and obey His authority. There is no right possessed by man by which he can become a law unto himself. There is no truth in the theory that man is only an animal. False materialistic ideologies have raised their serpentine heads from time to time, attempting to insinuate themselves against the course of the true faith. But to no permanent effect, for our spiritual nature, created as it has been by the Most Perfect Being, can be satisfied only with the realization of a spiritual destiny. To assure man the correct answer to the questions Whence have I come? and Where am I going?” Christ the Son of God became man and taught man life’s eternal truths, thus showing him the eternal way. The means established can be best understood and utilized by loving God as our Father and because of this love, desiring to live as He intended. AI IMPORTA IT I’Ll (E till AIIIIA I. 8 One of the older buildings on the campus, the chapel is located at a windy spot, but one nevertheless central and convenient. It adjoins the Monastery, and is easily accessible from all the resident halls. Besides being the center of all student religious functions, it is the parish church for the surrounding neighborhood, under the title of the Church of St. Thomas of Villanova. The chapel is the place where the student throughout his four years most frequently secs his colleagues assembled in one place, from opening Mass in Freshman year to baccalaureate. Mendel Hall was built in 1929 to replace College Hall, which was destroyed by fire. It is the central administrative building, and houses the business offices and offices of the President, Vice-President, Registrar, Procurator, and Chaplain. In addition it contains the deans’ offices, classrooms, and laboratories of the Schools of Arts, Science, and Engi- neering. The cast wing antedates the rest of Mendel, being a part of the old College Hall which escaped the fire. In it are located the dining hall, college store, and Freshman dormitory. m The training grounds for business theory, the Commerce and Finance build ing has a double distinction in being the newest building on the campus and the only one catering to the needs of a single school. It is situated near the cast limit of the grounds, facing Lancaster Pike. In addition to the usual lecture rooms this structure houses a spacious audito- rium with a modern, graduated seating arrangement. Likewise, it contains the offices of the business faculty and recrea- tion quarters for day students. If Alumni Hall could talk, it would relate many an interesting tale of the Villanova of another day. Its left wing stood for sixty years before any of the other present campus buildings were erected. During its long life Alumni has been put to a variety of uses. Once it housed the entire College. At a later period it was the Commerce and Finance Building. Today it serves as one of the two Freshman dormitories. Outmoded in style and out of harmony with its campus surroundings, it stands alone with a somewhat venerable appearance. When it comes to any form of intramural competition the two standout rivals, the friendly fight to the finish” protagonists are pereni- ally from Austin and Fedigan Halls. Both are reserved as homes for upperclassmen, each accommodating approximately one-hundred and fifty students. Austin’s rustic stone construction coupled with its beautifully land- scaped terrace make it a most attractive building. Its cast wing harbors the College library. Fedigan Hall borders on Spring Mill Road, the west boundary line of the Campus. Facing the administration building it is very handy to the dining hall, classrooms, and laboratories. TO THE I M'EIIII ISSHEI There are never any empty rooms in Simpson Hall. Ideal location, in a quiet corner of the campus and extra large, attractively furnished rooms make this one time fine private home the favorite place of residence at Villanova. The residents arc, of course, few, and this makes for a quiet and homelike atmosphere, not to be found in the larger halls. Several large rooms on the ground floor serve as comfortable meeting places for the various seminars and study clubs. Residents also have the unique advantage of a ping-pong room in the cellar.

The transition from the Belle-Air estate of merchant John Rudolph to a flourishing educational institution required capable leadership. Although bigotrous riots and other adverse circumstances twice caused the Fathers to close Villanova’s doors for a time, the end of the first twenty-five years saw this transi- tion well under way. Three presidents headed the College during this period: Father John P. O’Dwyer, O.S.A., later ap- pointed to the Bishopric of Savannah; Father Wil- liam Hartnett, O.S.A., who presided until 1857; and Father Ambrose Mullen, O.S.A. Classes began September 18, 1843; in December 1843, permission was received from Pope Gregory XVI to establish a novice-house; on March 10, 1848, Villanova received her charter from the Hon. Francis R. Shunk, state governor; and in 1867 her Silver Jubilee was celebrated. I ho Rudolph family, the ancestors of Villanova’ former owner, followed the old custom of recording important family events in their Bible. John Rudolph made Belle- Air his home from 1806 until his death in I8J8. Before the establishment of a mission church at Cobbs Creek in 1828, he used to drive to Philadelphia to Mass each Sunday. This indenture, drawn up between William Rudolph and a near-by farmer named Blackston, stated the terms of employment of the latter’s daughter as a domestic servant in the Rudolph Household. mm mi in 1x92 THE second quarter-century of Villanova's existence was a period of expansion. The school had survived two critical periods, in addition to the perils normally the lot of any endeavor in its infancy. It remained for her now only to become firmly estab- lished as an educational institution. From 1867 to 1892, her scope was broadened; her buildings were enlarged, her faculty was increased, and her enrollment had swelled. At the end of this period, her rank was recognized; she had made a name for herself. BUILDINGS During her second twenty-five years Villanova’s growth is measurable by the increase in the number, size, and facilities of her buildings, and by the improvements which were made in already existing struc- tures. At the beginning of this period, they were as ’’old-fashioned —to our eyes—as all buildings of that day were: lighted by This old Baptismal certificate shows that there was a Parish Church at the time and that the Sacraments were administered there. Mrs. Shea lived on the Belle Air estate, having been informally adopted as a child by the Rudolph family. Villanova in 1872 was not a large place. To the right is the College building, completed in 18-14. In the center is the Monastery, which had been the old Rudolph home, and to the left the chapel and gymnasium. In the foreground is the Lancaster Turnpike. Then little more than a dirt road, along which the stage- coaches traveled, it was nevertheless an important thoroughfare, just as it is today. rr THE llilltS kerosene lamps and tallow candles, and heated, for the most part, by coal and wood stoves. Chief source of water for stu- dents and faculty alike was an old hand pump, located at the north end of the present-day church. As time went on, however, these inconveniences were done away with. By 1872, steam heat had replaced the older modes in both College and Monastery, and campus-made gas was used for illumination. A new system of water-works was constructed in 1871. From a spring just south of County Road and across the railroad tracks, water was pumped—at first by wheel-pump, and later by hydraulic power—to a reservoir near the old col- lege building, and then relayed to tanks in the college and Mon- aster)� . The first new building erected after the Silver Jubilee was the gymnasium, a comparatively small frame structure located a short distance west of what is now Alumni Hall. It was well- equipped for athletic endeavors, and large enough to serve, until 1879, as parish church for the surrounding district. S x n after Father Calberry became president in 1872, con- struction of the long-dreamed-of college building was begun. The first stone of what is now the west wing of Alumni Hall was laid in April, 1873; the following September saw the Cross raised into position atop the cupola, 100 feet above the ground; and in February, 1874, the building was ready for occupancy by teachers and students. The Rev. Patrick Stanton, O.S.A., became President of Villa- nova in 1869, succeeding l-'ather Mullen. The new gymnasium and a waterworks were outstanding among the many improvements made during his administration. The first Villanova catalog was published in 1871 in Father Stanton's administration. The notes written upon the cover shown are those of Father Middleton, former President and Librarian of the college. To relatively small groups of men was given the task of edu- cating Villanova students during the early years. The college’s curriculum then included courses in English, Latin, Greek, French, German, philosophy, bookkeeping, music, and drawing. The early use of postage stamps in this country is evidenced in this letter, sent from Georgetown University to Father Farrell in 1865. At that time, the postoffice was at Hender- son's, a country store in West Haverford. The Rt. Rev. Thomas Galberry, O.S.A., succeeded Father Stanton in 1872, and remained in office until his elevation to the Bishopric of Hartford, Conn., in 1876. During his administration, the new College building was completed. This corner workshop was a far cry from our present modern laboratories. The equipment, however, used in the teaching of Physics, was up to date and adequate for the time. The first Bachelor of Science degree was granted in 1872. The interior view of the Chapel (left) shows the original main altar; when completed in 1887, the edifice contained a total of ses-en altars. In che arm-chairs and benches of the Reading Room, beneath the old-fash- ioned gas-lamps, former Villanovans caught up on their reading. Freshmen now use this space as a dormitory. Students did their home-work in a body and under supervision in the old Study Hall. Symbolic of Villanova’s spiritual stability is the crucifix, just like those in present-day classrooms. Five years later, in 1879, a fourth floor was added to the Monastery. After having been blessed by the Rev. Father Pro- vincial Neno, the new quarters were immediately occupied. On November 20 of the same year, the original Monastery grave- yard, on the site of the present Monastery, was also blessed by Father Neno. Crowning achievement of the period was the erection of the long-needed Chapel- that Chapel today symbolizes Villanova. On March 29, 1883, Father Coleman, who was Prior at the time, and the members of the Community broke ground for the edifice; on April 25, the first stone was laid in the trenches; and on June 3, the cornerstone was solemnly blessed and laid in place by Rt. Rev. Jeremiah F. Shanahan, Bishop of Harris- burg. The cross was blessed in 1884, and on July 3, 1S87, the completed Church was dedicated by Bishop Ryan of Philadel- phia. Mr. Edwin F. Durang was the architect. When the Augustinian Fathers had purchased the Belle- Air estate in 1842, they purchased many acres of fertile farm land, and, consequently, farm buildings as well. Of these, the old stone barn was the center. In 1889, this barn was rebuilt, largely through the efforts of Father Blake, then Procurator. The Rev. John J. Fedigan, O.S.A., for whom our upper-class dormi- tory is named, became president in 1878; his two-year term was marked by many improvements. A full-length portrait of Father Fcdigan, by Eakin, now hangs in Simpson Hall. Upon the completion of the new College building, now Alumni Hall, in 1874, the former study hall was fitted out for public assemblies. It was decorated with paintings of Saint Augustine, Saint Monica, and Saint Thomas of Villanova. Our predecessors on Villanova’s campus were rather a varied lot. At the time this picture was made, the college included what would today be called a prepara lory school. Students ranged in age from about twelve years upward. Their apparel is typical of the period: narrow-legged trousers, boots, and Little Lord Fauntlc' roy” hats. i mu The Rev. Thomas C. Middleton, O.S.A., was Pres- ident of the College from 1876 to 1878. In addition to his other duties he found time to organize and serve a first President of the American Catholic Historical Society of Philadelphia. TIIIIIII'Ii II T EXTRA-CURRICULAR The extra-curricular activities in which Villanovans of those days engaged, like those of today, were divisible into two types: the athletic and the non-athlctic. Baseball, walking, skating, swimming, hand ball, tree- climbing, marbles, hunting—all served to relieve the monotony of studies and helped the students to remain physically fit. The scene of most of these outdoor sports was for a time the field across Spring Mill Road and the railroad tracks. Later, when this proved inadequate, the site of the present campus was laid out, filled, and leveled. Skaters frequently used to hike over to Conshohocken to the Schuylkill river on cold winter days. Swimming was done in the school pond, which is now used for skating. At this period, baseball was the only sport which Vi 11anova engaged in against outside teams. That athletes of those days were well-qualified to uphold the name of Alma Mater is indi- cated by the fact that the lowest Villanova score on record for four seasons (1869-1872) was twenty-two runs. And on June 13, 1872, Villanova defeated the Radnor Farmers by the almost fabulous score of 103 to 9. The gymnasium, with its ten-pin alleys, trapezes, parallel bars, punching bag, etc., served to supplement these outdoor sports when the weather was inclement. And, of course, dom- inoes, backgammon, and checkers were perennial pastimes. Non-athletic activities were also extensive. There were the debating and dramatic societies, reorganized in 1871; and the various religious organizations—the Sodality of the Blessed Vir- gin Mary, a Total Abstinence Society, Saint Monicas Altar Society, and a Confraternity of the Sacred Heart of Jesus. A cornet band, organized in 1871 by Mr. Corrie, together with the Glee Club, provided outlet for student musical talent. Our now flourishing Alumni Association had its origin An outsanding material link between Villanova past and present is the College building, the west wing of which was completed in 1874. Now known as Alumni Hall, it originally housed the entire scholastic part of the college. After extensive revisions, it is now used as a freshman dormitory.

COLLEGE LIFE Life on our campus today is both similar to and different from campus life of fifty or seventy-five years ago. Materially, Villanova has changed, just as the times have changed. Spir- itually, however, she has remained much the same. Then, as now, students assisted at Mass in the sch x l Chapel, attended Retreat services, and assembled daily for the recitation of the Rosary and other prayers. And many present-day details of college life—sine qua non to us—held the same place for students of former days. Fast-moving and frequently controversial discussions—we call them bull sessions —were indulged in. There was the same mad scramble by latc-risers in the morning; and they too were confronted with rules about dormitory silence. When classes were held on Saint Patricks day, 1879, history reveals that there was a big hub bub about it. Villanovans have been “going down to the P. O. ever since 1872; it was in that year that a postoffice was opened in It was a great day for the Irish” when Villanova’s dramatic society put on a performance in the seventies and eighties. The group was reorganized in 1870, after the second reopening. Commencement programs in those days featured addresses by students in German and French, instrumental solos, and addresses by officials of the chool. In 1881 the Glee Club performed for the guests. Gold medals were first awarded in 1876— for General Excellence’ and Mathematics.” Erection of the present chapel was begun soon after the Rev. Joseph A. Coleman, O.S.A., succeeded to the Presidency. Fr. Coleman was Villanova’s chief executive for six years, until his transfer to Australia in 1887. H LL- tiUHNb r,‘ r c, iA'ic . Cr AJ°0lCTy '•y in .-«rrvcD i WHS GOLLBBN BAWN : ■ on.

Within a year the straightened, four-track Main Line of the railroad was opened: and the walk from the campus to the station, edged by the trees that now copiously shade it, was laid out in 1877. But there were other features of college life, accepted more or less as a matter of course by students of the seventies and eighties, which are altogether foreign to our experience. During the famous blizzard of ‘88, the College was snowbound for sev- eral days. The huge drifts so completely prevented vehicular traffic that Father Sheeran upon receiving a sick call late one evening, set out, lantern in hand, to walk over and through the piled-up snow to Bryn Mawr. Once, in October 1871, fire spread by flaming kerosene in the Monastery cellar threatened to destroy the buildings. Fac- ulty and students pitched in together, and after a four-hour battle succeeded in extinguishing the blaze. And so, in 1892, with the trials and triumphs of half a century behind her, Villanova reached her Golden Jubilee. Her second fifty years will be chronicled in the year-books of the two following classes in installments covering twenty-five years each, so that the complete story will have been presented when the Centennial year of 1943 arrives. For many years Vice-president of the College, the Rev. Francis M. Sheeran, O.S.A., became President in 1836. He had received his degree of Bachelor of Sacred Theology the year before. The baseball equipment used by our predecessors seems somewhat antiquated to us; nevertheless, it served the purpose. Most of the bats were home-made, and some of the earlier balls as well.

Villanova lost this hard-fought pitchers' duel, held May 16, 1872, to the Philadelphia Athletics, by a score of 51 to 30. Father Middleton notes that the forerunners of the present-day American League club were all profes- sionals. Nearby colleges, independent teams, and professional organizations were Villanova’s usual opponents in those times. Seldom were more than nine men used in an entire game, and the use of eight was common. - ' r i Base Ball Club. rumt l±: c Y . Mm 1 kEMAMKv _iP 3 • .

The sentences imposed—usually a number of lines of translation, or the loss of a privilege— were recorded for posterity in the jug-book,” time-honored collegiate institution. Most prevalent crimes were excess talking and similar misconduct. Smoking and going out of bounds were also penalized, as was the crude form of school-boy blackmail shown above (lower left).

Sheehan, O.S.A., is Provincial of the Order of Saint Augustine in the United States. Most people know the Order as the Augustinians. As Superior of this Society, Father Sheehan has official headquarters in the Monastery of Saint Thomas, here at Villanova, mother house of the American Province. Under the immediate jurisdiction of Father Sheehan are approxi- mately three-hundred priests, two hundred seminarians with their four study-houses, forty-live parishes, a mission band, eight high schools, and Villanova College. As Provincial, Father Sheehan visits all these institutions peri- odically, makes all appointments to positions in the Province, and in general has the care of the teaching and preaching activities for which the Order was founded. Forty nil Ills IIIItItII ASSOCIATES THE Board of Trustees is legally responsible for and cxer- cises general control over the College Administration, establishing the policies that Villanova will follow as a collegiate institution. Their influence extends into the field of finance wherein they give advice relative to the investment of capital. The number of board members is limited to seven by the college charter. Prominent laymen are included so that their experience, garnered from many years in business, may be utilised by the college. The Augustinian Provincial is ex-officio a member of the board and customarily its chairman. Regular monthly meetings are held. When a vacancy occurs the members themselves select the one to fill it. No new members were elected during the past year. THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES Very Rev. John T. Sheehan. O.S.A., J.C.D., S.T.B. Chairman of the Board Rev. Joseph M. Dougherty.

The intrusion of the Belle Air photographer affords a moment of relaxa- tion from the serious discussion of the particular business at hand. Fortyone Very Reverend Edward V. Stanford O.S.A., M.A., LL.D. The Very Reverend Edward V. Stanford, O.S.A., has been actively associated with Villanova since 1918, and has served as President for the past nine years. Ever prominent in educational circles, he is a past President of the Association of American Collettes. Father Stanford’s textbook on Descriptive Geometry and his treatise on the Problems of Mixed Marriage, one of many such pamphlets of which he is author, are both in use in the College at the present time. His recent speeches on conscription, favor- ing deferment of ail students, have won nation-wide notice. THE Board of Administration is Villanova's execu- tive body. Its members are selected by the Pro- vincial of the Augustinian Order and an advisory group, called the Board of Definitors. It is the President who gives the final approval of all executive and legislative matters. The Vice- President is also Dean of Men; it is his duty to en- force disciplinary regulations. Both Procurator and Controller arc concerned with limiting expenditures and counselling investments. The respective Deans of the four schools of the College have jurisdiction over the academic welfare of their students. Securing needed books for the Library and making them easily available to the students is the job of the Librarian. The Chaplain has the spiritual welfare of the students in his care. Chief among the many and varied duties of the Registrar is that of maintaining relations with the various High Schools. The Placement Director establishes contacts with alumni and with the business world in general in order to secure employment for graduates and to promote good will. i n ms Reading clockwise: Fr.

Father Albers plays an important part in determining the College’s sports program; as Moderator of the Student Council, he supervises all student organi- zations. Through these diversified functions the Vice- President is well known to every student on the campus. Every club, fraternity, team and dance receives the benefit of his experience and desire to make a success of anything that is Villanovan. Father Albers receives a copy of the ’40 Belle Air from its Editor, Ed Jonik, at the Belle Air Dinner. This affair is given annually by the yearbook editor for the staff members and a few guests, and is climaxed by the first official appearance of the book, a copy of which is given to everyone present.

F. locker room, who don't seem to be taking it very seriously. The Orientation Committee is supposed to see that the Fresh- men wear their regs, get the hello habit, and obey all Freshman and general campus regulations. In spite of periodic crack-downs, the trend for several years now has been increasing laxity in making the Frosh toe the mark. The man pays and pays. Whether it be on the deferred payment plan or in a lump sum, payment is a sine qua non” of admission to everything except free band concerts. Here Mr. J. L. Eichman, an alumnus, signs the check registering his second son at Villanova. Forty-six INITUI. LOYALTY lYlRST among the numerous processes through which |l an applicant must go before he becomes a full fledged college student, is that business-like procedure known as registration. Upperclassmen take it as just a routine check-up with dean, chaplain and business office—a day for renewing old friendships and “getting back into harness. To the freshman, however, it means something more; it is his formal introduction to the exciting mysteries of college life. Through the medium of personal guidance, registration attempts to help the student find his proper position within the curricula and adjust himself most advantage- ously to his studies. Interviews and aptitude tests reveal qualifications for the various courses and advice is given accordingly. In this way the neophyte collegian is orientated to his new program of studies in a way that is calculated to insure future success. Left: Father Albcr gives a Freshman his key and blanket order, at the same time calling to his attention the principal rules governing resident students. Center: Students wishing to make arrangements to pay their tuition on the deferred payment plan see Mr. Lawson. Right: Dr. Loef- flad, the College physician, gives a student the once over. A physical examination of every new student is required as part of the College Health program. Father Boyle talks to a student about his religious observances during the summer months, and makes suggestions for the coming year. This brief con- ference during the course of registration is a require- ment for both old and new students. Forty-seven RAINING momentum with time, the prestige of the lg Student Council has increased to the point where it now stands out as one of the leading campus organi' zations. Its membership consists of the three class presidents, the editors of the major publications, and elected repre- sentatives of each class and fraternity. In this way the students arc represented as individuals and also as social and intellectual groups. Student self-government is the primary purpose for which the Student Council was founded, under the theory that practice in the duties of responsibility and leadership should be included in a college education. The broad function of the Council is to coordinate student activities, and to act as intermediary between the administration and the student body. Its specific duties include supervising Class elections, voicing student opinion, promoting school spirit, especially through the medium of pep rallies, and judging the pre-Temple hall decoration contest. Since 1938 the Student Council has supplemented the Orientation Committee, its Vice-chairman serving as ex- officio chairman of that group. Forty-eight IJO ORGANIZATION figures more prominently in Villanova traditions than does the Orientation Com' mittee. Composed of selected Sophomores and the members of the Student Council, it is a representative student group well-qualified to accomplish the task of “orientating” incoming freshmen. This welcoming and guiding organization aids in the transformation of high school seniors into Villanova College Freshman. By acquainting the frosh with their new surroundings; by helping them to know their fellow- students, and by teaching them school songs and cheers, the “V.C.s speedily make them integral parts of Villanova life. Freshman regulations are strictly enforced by the committee and the traditional dink, tie and badge must be worn by the frosh during the period of probation lasting from Registration Day until Thanksgiving. The committee has the power to bar violators of these regu- lations from all extra-curricular activities and from class offices. White-capped, throughout the Orientation period, the “V.C. is usually the first Villanovan a frosh meets. His attitude, typical of the whole orientation program, is a purposeful, reasoned one, and has no place for the buffoonery of “publicity gag” hazing. The Orientation Committee has a definite service to perform; Villanova as a whole is better for its perform- ance.

In his dual capacity as Dean and as local director of education for national defense, he has fidl need for his effervescent energy. Fifty IfclVIDED as the College is into Schools, the Deans are the administrative officials |P with whom the individual student comes into most frequent contact. It is the Dean who advises him on his courses, keeps the record of his credits, and straightens out schedule difficulties. On the Dean's shoulders rests the responsibility of keeping up the standards of faculty, curriculum, and students. He must be able to distinguish between the sound and the unsound in new educational developments. These duties, together with a myriad of minor administrative details, are ably taken care of by the four men whose pictures appear on these pages.

IS IlOR students with ability in mathematics and mech- |1 anics, the engineering school provides ample opportu- nity for study and self-development. Having enrolled in this course the freshman finds himself embarking on four years of highly involved and technical work. Mornings spent in classrooms serve to provide the theoretical knowledge. Afternoons spent in laboratories assure a practical application of ideas found in the text. Villanova's engineering school takes measures to ef- fect the orientation of freshmen students within the curriculum. An extensive and valuable system of guidance is supplemented by a deep personal interest on the part of the faculty. Professional subjects never before en- countered such as Descriptive Geometry sometimes pre- sent a problem. Faculty advisors make certain that any such difficulty is solved to the satisfaction of all concerned. Basically, the freshman year is a broad training program designed to test the student's aptitude for engineering and to aid him in the selection of one particular field in which to concentrate his future efforts. At the outset of his sophomore year, the student finds himself beginning a program of intensive training designed to prepare him for work in some field of engin- eering which he has chosen as a result of the survey program in the preceding year. This year marks the initial concentration in the correlated subject of matter of some one field, with the material so intertwined and dove- tailed, as to produce a graduate with some specific abilities but not confined to too narrow a scope. Mechanical, Civil, Electrical and Chemical engineers have courses preparing them for their future professional status. Much time is spent in the sophomore year in drawing, which develops powers of visualization and which serves as a groundwork for later work in designing. Sixty-four BSE Left: The responsibility for keeping shop machines in repair rests upon the students using them. Top: Professor Amclotti teaches math, to the Engineers in their formative Freshman year. Bottom: Painstaking observations of physical phenomena such as the vibration of sound waves, centrifugal force, gravi- tation, etc., are made and recorded in the Physics lab. With mathematics being the fountain head of all engineering theory and practice, it follows that at this time adequate study of calculus should supplement the general background acquired during the first year. Courses incident to the four major fields complete the curriculum, and the sophomore lays the foundation for the next two years work. Courses in the third year provide for the accumu- lation of an impressive amount of theory applicable mainly to one major field but with enough common ground to allow for an understanding of the broad scope of engineering. Practical work is the key note of laboratory periods, which, together with periodic field trips, make for a genuine knowledge of everyday engineering. Problems in designing call for abilities previously developed and a synthesising of the knowledge acquired up to this point. Actual situations to be met later in industry are created. These things call for a working knowledge and application of the innumerable laws and theories com- prising the scientific heritage of man. Classroom work and homework assignments combine to form an imposing program of study, with laboratories as the proving ground. An endless array of machines and equipment give mute testimony to the amount of verification so vital in develop' ing practical ability. Having passed through the period of most concen- trated study, the senior engineer's curriculum broadens out again while at the same time further specialization along certain lines is continued. This year is intended to prepare the graduate to take his place in industry and so a foundation in business organization, in relation Sixty-five The spacious campus provides the Civil En- gineers with plenty of opportunity for prac- tice surveying.

Particular types of industries are the concern of many of the courses, A familiarity with actual situations in many engineering companies and projects is obtained through frequent field trips. Professional engineers give advice and counsel before periodic meetings of the several classes. Individual work in the matter of a thesis takes much time during the second semester and the successful completion of this assignment gives evidence of a working knowledge of engineering theory and practice acquired in four years. It is not enough for the student engineer to know theoretically how different kinds of machines work. He must get that first hand experience that involves going into the shop rolling up his sleeves, and getting his hands dirty. IN KEEPING with the recent trend toward highly specialized training in our Universities and Colleges, most of Villanova’s courses are of a vocational nature. The School of Arts and Philosophy, however, in addition to preparing a student for a state teacher's certificate, offers an array of cultural subjects which conform to the old principle of knowledge for its own sake. Its object is to educate the whole man, taking him as a thinking, spiritual being, not merely as a money-making automaton. Philosophy is the major study in the course leading to the degree of Bachelor of Arts. Next in importance come English and Social studies, with Latin, Modem Languages, the Physical Sciences, Mathematics. Fine Arts, and Economics completing the curriculum. Opposite pa e: An ideally balanced course. Liberal Arts acquaints one with both the highly speculative and the earthy” empirical. Mastery of the syllogism is a sine qua non” for the Arts student in hit four year study of philosophy. More concrete is the science of history with epochal maps to indicate the changes of the centuries. One of the distinct advantages to be ob- tained from the arts course is the possibility of covering numerous fields of study. Tra- ditionally the backbone of the arts course is the classics, with emphasis on culture. But to insure a well-rounded personality, arts students are encouraged to accumulate a number of credits in science. Formerly Bi- ology was the only course taken, but two years ago Father Burns, Dean of the Arts School, started a program intended to stimu- late interest in the other physical sciences. In this picture. Father Crawford gives in- structions in the operation of an X-ray machine, in conjunction with a course in Physics. Library research, becoming a more vital factor in modern education, drives these students from the playing field outdoors to the field of mental rack, seeking knowledge found between the musty covers of books, magazines and encyclopedias. Students in their research pursuit dust off the forgotten corners of the library seeking information to complete perhaps a paper in Biology, an engineering thesis, or an economic theory. Sixty-nine Smtaimd intercut—that seems to be the keynote of this student’s efforts. His apparent success is readily perceived, though his classmates arc still in their seats. This portrait of confidence is characteristic of the achievements of the students in the course of Speech Arts under the tutorship of Professor Anthony Frayne. Throughout the year each student in turn prepares speeches for presentation before critical classmates. Complimentary and destructive apprais- als of their fellow-speakers rapidly improves and enhances future deliveries. This reciprocal method is employed with a rigid sincerity which inevitably produces calm, well- mannered, and truly fine orators. The Freshman in Arts will find his studies consisting largely of an elaboration of his high school work, in addition to Logic and Epistemology, the groundwork for Scholastic Philosophy. In his Sophomore year. Metaphysics opens to him the strange new world of Philosophic speculation and begins to cut in his mind new channels of intellectual exploration. The study of Being in the abstract gives mental discipline of the finest type. Consultations of the works of great men helps impart a knowledge of the finest thoughts of the human mind. The study of Art and Music has by this time begun to develop some of the finer sensitivities characteristic of the polished gentle- man. Reasonable and practical proofs for the existence of God and Man's Free Will are the object of philosophic study during the third year in the Arts course. Ideals have been established by studying the contributions to civilization by outstanding men. At the same time stress has been placed upon the development of natural abilities of the student himself which may sow the seeds of success in any chosen field of endeavor. Emphasis upon the practical side of life is character' istic of the Senior year, since the student is reaching the stage where he will face life's problems directly. Ethics gives him a sound rational basis for his moral life. Sociology and Economics acquaint him with the complex problems that beset the people of a modern world in their struggle for a livelihood and happiness. History of Philosophy gives a panoramic view of the development of human thought through the ages, from the early Greeks to the present day. The value of the study of the Liberal Arts was concisely summarized by Cardinal Newman in The Idea of a University: In the case of most men it makes itself felt in good sense, sobriety of thought, reasonableness, candor, self- command, and steadiness of view ... In some it will have developed habits of business, powers of influencing others, and sagacity. In others it will elicit the talent of Seventy philosophical speculation and lead the mind forward to eminence in this or that intellectual department. In all it will be a faculty of entering with comparative ease into any subject of thought and of taking up with aptitude any science or profession. In the educational department of the Schtx)!, the general background in cultural subjects which should constitute a part of every teacher's equipment is acquired during the first two years, when the curriculum is very similar to that in the Arts School proper. This also serves the purpose of enabling the student to give thor- ough consideration to what his major will be. At this stage teaching aptitude tests and consultations with faculty members brings to light the presence or absence of real teaching ability. Numerous courses intended to impart a complete understanding of the practical side of teaching technique, together with studies in both a major and minor field, equip the student with the necessary prerequisites for a state teacher's certificate. Emphasis is not placed alone upon the theoretical side. The practical background of the faculty provides a reservoir of experience which any student may draw upon to supplement the informa- tion obtained in class. The close relationship which exists between students and faculty gives assurance of personal guidance. The crowning point in this four-year course is reached during the last half of the Senior year when an entire semester is devoted to practice teaching. Then it is that the student sees for himself the application of theory, and finds himself on the other side of the fence; con- fronted with the same problems which he himself has been causing teachers for sixteen years.

Prac- tice Teaching, the culmination of study for students in Education, occupies the entire second semester of the senior year. Lower: Practical is the word to describe much of the subject matter included in Education courses. Here Wayne Hughes submits a report to the class of an extensive examination of the guidance program at Radnor High School. Seventy-one H EC A USE of an inner urge to spend a life devoted to alleviating physical suffering or an inclination toward the rapidly expanding fields of scientific endeavor, a large proportion of freshmen enroll in the School of Science each year. Many aspire to medicine; others propose to supplement man's knowledge through research, and still others have the urge to he technicians. Before any of these dreams can be realized, arduous years must he spent in study. From the outset, chemistry, biology, physics and re- lated subjects form a filter through which the student's every thought must pass before it attains significance. The metamorphosis of an embryonic scientist is accom- panied by gruelling hours spent in laboratories. Manual dexterity vitally necessary for delicate operations and skillful bandaging, is first developed by arranging the equipment for experiment after experiment until it seems that every bit of knowledge man possesses regarding the sciences must be re-confirmed. The microscope is as essential to the pre-med as the test tube is to the chemical major. It is the medium through which he can study minute fundamental organisms. Without this instrument, biology would be a vague and most uncertain science, and the biologist would be such a kind of scientist. These students are engaged in what is known as a frac- tional distillation process in the Organic Chemistry lab. Liquid components having different boiling points are separated by boiling one off while the other remains. Note the bottle of concentrated acid in the foreground. This is much stronger than ordinary acid, and is capable of causing a severe burn. Scventy-tu’O Father Ludwig, an avid research worker, may be found in the biology laboratory at all hours, investigating some obscure microscopic species. Here hr is shown making up slides of a protozoan parasite. So vast a field is zoology that a scientist may easily spend an entire lifetime on a single species. Frequently the neophyte medico imagines himself curing some rare and terrible malady or discovering a new scientific principle that will change men's lives over- night. Neither of these goals may ever be realized, but the important thing for the moment is the assimilation of such principles as Boyle's law of gas expansion or the understanding of chemical reactions. Once past the initial stage of scientific inquiry, the hopeful pre-med or scientist is surprised to find that he will be able to engage in the interesting work of dis- section. He is given an odiferous and complicated mammal, the cat, and is soon buried in the intricacies of cat anatomy. Practical use for the groundwork in chemistry acquired during the previous year is found when the extraordinary possibilities extant in the realms of qualita- tive and quantitative analysis are first made known. By this time the sophomore has arrived at the diagnostic stage; he finds himself diagnosing a friend's ailment at the slightest provocation; by this time too, the intcrrela- Toft: The various parts of the cat must be learned in detail by students of Cat Anatomy. Here they study a d agram before going to work on the real thing.

Two approaches are made to the study of chemical substance by the Junior Scientist.

Third year subjects take on an even more technical aspect but ample provision is made for the securing of a broad education all important to a physician. Now the student finds that he can give others the benefit of his studies and investigations. The Mendel Bulletin, science quarterly, gives any student who desires an opportunity to report on the latest scientific development or to make known any theories of his own. Sciences distinctive of the medical profession form a major part of the third year curriculum. Now the wonderfully complex mechanism, the human body, is first studied intensively. With unruffled confidence the junior takes these studies in stride. He is getting used to being called Doc” and can already visualize changes wrought by new discoveries. S x n, almost too soon, the young man of science finds himself entering the last lap of his college course. Long since he has decided upon some definite niche for Thi silhouette of partner in the lab may very well symbolize the morning to dusk class schedule of the scienceman. His training is rigorous, but his sacrifices are necessary and appreciated by humanity. Seventy-four Preparation of microscopic slides and stains forms a part of the advanced training in Biology for pre- ttied students. Types of tissues arc studied according to the best known methods. himtclf in the wall science has built between sickness and health. Now is witnessed a still further intensi' fication and specialization in study while at the same time preparations are made for the practical problems One of the basic techniques which a pre-med course develops is facility in setting up complicated appara- tus. I.ater on in medical school, the students learn to detach themselves from these technicalities and to concentrate more on the reaction under observation. of life. Uppermost in the mind of pre-meds is the thought of gaining admission to medical school. This is the sword that hangs over the head of each one until nearly the end of his senior year. Its realization brings untold joy: failure in this respect necessitates a change of plans. The problems of a thesis helps prevent excessive concern about the future. If medicine or research are his goal, a bachelor's degree is scarcely the half way mark. If industry beckons, graduation will end his formal training. In any case, marked changes have been brought about in the naive youth of fours years Kick. True, none have even nearly exhausted the possibilities of scientific study, but all have come a long way from studying the amoeba. A mass of facts have been learned, understandings have been developed—now for their application! Father Hammond conducts class in Physiological Chem- istry, which deals with the organic compounds found in the human body. The listeners here are Senior Prc-Meds. The first two years of the Science course are devoted mostly to cultural and general scientific subjects. In Junior and Senior year, courses of a more specialized nature, like this one, are given. No sleeping hero. The Commerce and Finance man must be constantly on the alert to absorb the economic theory and business practice that are his daily diet, and which he hopes will develop him into a leader of the business world of tomorrow. IN THE complex maze of modern civilization, it is I increasingly evident that the key to success is speciali' zation. This is true not only in the technical fields of engineering and science but to an equal degree in the world of business. Realization of this fact both on the part of the administration and matriculating students has led to the rapid expansion of the personnel and curriculum of the business school. Augmenting the fundamental aim of creating a cub tured gentleman inspired with Christian ideals, the Commerce and finance curriculum has a twofold purpose. By training the student technically along business lines it prepares him to earn a living; by instilling into him an understanding and appreciation of political economy, it makes him better able to play his part as a citizen. To the newly enrolled freshman a general course of study compulsory to all is offered. This policy is fob lowed in order that those who desire to enter business La leccion para hoy Father Lorano get a Spanish claw off to a good start.

Those in the rear are not even going through the motions of taking notes. hut have inclinations along no particular lines may be given an opportunity to find their proper field. Class room hours are short but arc supplemented by long hours spent on homework, projects, and research. Accounting and economics are emphasized during the first year in order to give the students a firm founda- tion for the succeeding years to be spent in the study of business theories and their practical application. In the second year students select their major course of study. By appointed faculty representatives of each course, prospective members are acquainted with the par- ticular requirements which they will be expected to fulfill. They are further informed as to what specific lines of practical business the course is intended to prepare them. Modern languages, history, philosophy, literature, and other cultural subjects are also included. This method Father Mahoney'� classe� seldom end with the bell. He is so full of interesting stories culled from years of foreign travel that groups like this often stay to listen to him. OF TOIIIV Seventy-seven Statistics is probably the most talked about course in the Commerce School. Upperclassmen use it as a bogey man to scare the Freshmen, but nearly all of them eventually take it and Mr. Dougherty makes them like it. Index numbers, complicated formulae, weird graphs, are administered painlessly with a generous coating of Doc’s” dry humor, and anecdotes about life in the Marines and the trials and tribulations of high school teaching in the coal regions. Stat” students learn early that it pays to take plenty of notes and not to let those problems get ahead of you. serves a dual purpo:c: it provides a well-rounded curricu- lum and, while giving the student a start in one direction, prevents him from becoming so highly specialized along a certain line that it would be impossible to change to another major without the lo;s of an entire year. Junior year marks the beginning of more intensified specialization. Not only has the student now completed two years of business training, but during that time he has been given an opportunity to become familiar with the possible courses from which he must choose that most suited to his qualifications and desires. Courses arc offered in four major fields: accounting, finance, mark- eting, and preparation for law. The minority of the subjects are compulsory; the re- maining are elective, the choice being left to the discretion of the student backed by the willing guidance of the dean or members of the faculty. A study of theory necessarily constitutes a great proportion of the work but every effort is made to study the concrete business problems of the banks, insurance companies, and other such concerns—since it is such problems that will have to he faced by the student in later life. There remains for senior year the task of completely rounding out the whole educational program. Each course has its own particular goal. Those who have majored in accounting are prepared for the position of accountant, auditor, or comptroller— always of primary importance in any firm. The finance course stresses the monetary aspect of commerce—the relation of hanking to business, credit, and the structure of corporations from a financial stand- point. Here the future hankers, brokers, and insurance men receive their training. Marketing, dealing with the flow of goods to the con sumer, includes instruction in buying, selling, retailing, advertising, and managing. Seventy-eight Preparation for law is based on the standards set up by the best law schools. Because of the importance of economics and finance to the practicing lawyer today, it is felt that preliminary training in there fields proves most helpful. But these are merely the aims of the particular courses, with one of which each senior has become thoroughly familiar. Common to all four lines of study and par tieularly emphasized during the final year, is the concen- trated effort of the school to impress upon its graduates the stamp of collegiate culture. To basic economic studies have been added philosophy, literature, and social sciences: senior year strives to bind all these together—to present a unified picture of business, culture, and religion. The graduate of the School of Commerce and Finance, who has availed himself of the opportunities offered, is a cultured, well trained, highly specialized business man. Every year the Juniors taking Real Estate Law are required to make a title search. Each student is given the address of a property in Philadelphia, and must go to City Hall and look up the transactions whereby the deed has changed hands, to see whether the present owner has a clear title to it. Required study in the Commerce and Finance School is at least one year of accounting as a basic groundwork for business training. It is given a meaning for the student by placing emphasis on it as an instrument of management and a controlling force in the operation of industry, rather than as a dry collection of lifeless figures. Seventy-nine ItEHIND the ivy-covered walls of Saint Mary's, the li Seminarians peacefully pursue their studies. These arc the men who are to continue in the work which has been carried on so successfully for fifteen centuries by their predecessors. The Augustinian Order has been outstanding in fur- thcring the interest of the Catholic Church ever since its founding. It has been a force in world affairs not only through the establishment of churches and missions, but also through the maintenance of schools; its place in the history of education can scarcely be over-emphasised. Al- though beset at every turn, indeed as the Church itself has been, by persecution, intolerance, and bigotry, the Augustinian Order now has houses in every continent on the globe. The men who have brought all this about have been fearless, holy, and able men. Those who will continue in their footsteps must possess the same characteristics. As future priests, they must undergo that rigorous course of training always prerequisite to Ordination into the Ministry of God. As future teachers, they must have thorough knowledge in their chosen fields and know how best to impart that knowledge to others. In the training of men to live up to these ideals, Villa- nova's Seminar ' plays an important part. The Seminarians come to Villanova, the Mother-house of the Order in America, to complete their studies for the Bachelor of Arts degree. They live together in com- munity, after having solemnly professed the triple vows of Poverty, Chastity, and Obedience, as the rule of Saint Augustine dictates. In their studies here, particular emphasis is laid upon Scholastic Philosphy; they are. however, allowed to specialize in some chosen branch of study. Throughout their entire college course, the Seminarians absorb the Reciting Daily Office traditions of the institution which is preparing them for their life work—the school to which many of them will later devote their every effort. Villanova $ traditions be- come part of their lives; they in turn will become a vital force in the Villanova of tomorrow. Their lives are simple and regular, and at the same time very full. Although their studies are difficult and the professors exacting, ample time is devoted to physical recreation as well. Touch football, baseball, out-door basketball, swimming, skattng, tennis, and long walks help the Seminarians to maintain that bodily health which is essential to efficient mental activity. After graduation from Villanova, the Seminarians study Theology either at the Augustinian College of the Cath- olic University of America, in Washington, D. C., or at the Augustinian International College in Rome. Father Deacy, Prior, and Father Anderson, Master of Professed Scholastics, chat during a recreation period, a regular feature of every- day life in a religious community.

I1VERY summer about the first of July the Villanova jj campus undergoes a transformation. Replacing the collegians who have departed a month before, come a myriad of black, brown, and gray-robed nuns who make Villanova their abode for the following six weeks. The halls of Austin, Fedigan and Alumni assume a quiet, cloisterlike air, which contrasts with the noise and bustle of the College year. The Dining Hall, the Library, every corner of the campus is taken over by these new students. Not that Summer School is limited to nuns. Brothers and priests, as well as lay students, both men and women, take advantage of these part-time courses. Full-time stu- dents too who are short in their credits through changes in their courses or failures in their subjects, find them, need- less to say, a great boon. The primary purpose of the Summer School, as evi- denced by the enrollment itself, is to provide an oppor- tunity for teaching sisters to work for higher degrees during the only time which is available to them. The constantly rising standards of Catholic Education make this study necessary, and Villanova is fulfilling an im- portant function in the educational system of the Arch- diocese of Philadelphia by supplying the means for it. Inaugurated in 1918, the Summer School offers about one hundred courses in Biology, Chemistry, Physics, Mathematics, Languages, Education, Economics, and Philosophy. Under the deanship of The Rev. Joseph C. Bartley, O.S.A., the enrollment has steadily increased until it now surpasses that of the regular college. More than twenty-five orders of nuns arc represented in its lists, chiefly from the area north of the Mason-Dixon line and East of the Alleghenies. Since 1933 the demonstration class, where students are given a chance to observe the latest teaching methods carried out under actual classroom conditions, has featured the normal course. This, together with weekly conferences with the demonstration teacher, has proved of inestimable value in the preparation and improvement of teachers. Father Bartley's outstanding adminis- trative ability, efficiency, and vision have been important factors in the rapid growth and development of Villanova's Summer School as another facility for the spread of Catholic education. Eighty-two Circle, Left: In the hottest summer months, least conducive of any to study, the sisters, wearing cumbersome habits, come to school to better equip themselves as teachers during the rest of the year. Taking them as a group, they are the best of students. They bring interest and enthusiasm to both class and laboratory, take profuse notes, and perform out- side assignments with painstaking thoroughness. Right: Some of the sisters, such as this one shown viewing some minute organism through the microscope, display an unusual aptitude for the physical sciences. Every year more of them take courses in this field. Top: These nuns are a few of the many taking Biology and other scientific courses. From many different schools and representing various orders they come to better them- selves in the particular field of study which it is their life work to teach. It is becoming more and more common for high school teachers to take masters’ degrees, and Catholic schools must keep abreast of the trend. Bottom: A typical group of summer school applicants register in Father Bartley’s office under the guidance of Miss Kelly. Not all summer students are working for graduate degrees, but for those who are, the normal length of time required to complete their work is three years. Eight ythrec EIGHT IIIIIIIS 1 DAY - ■ PLUS During the ten minute free period allowed after the firs half of the two hour clauc , evening school Profs. Dougherty and Alessan- droni gather with several students in one of the informal discussions favored in pedagogical circles. Mr. Dougherty, on the extreme left, is also attached to the regular faculty of the Commerce and Finance School. In addition to the change in background . . . from a campus to a metropolitan setting . . . night classes differ in the arrangement of courses. Since each subject is held only one night a week, the syllabus must be so prepared that the equivalent of a week’s work is covered in that one period. Adeptness at charting a safe course through the maze of legality surrounding modern business is born at the nocturnal hour in the evening school. Tutored by Professor Alessandroni in both the sanctions and restrictions of Business Law, the students learn the legal channels in which commercial enter- prise must be conducted. Principles of law are made concrete by applying them repeatedly to specific cases. INCONSPICUOUS in the campus life of Villanova, yet comprising one of its most important educational functions are the Part-Time schools. The oldest of these is the Saturday School, founded in 1918 as a supplement to the Summer Sch x l. It embraces courses leading to degrees of Bachelor of Arts, Bachelor of Science in Education and Nursing, and Master of Arts. Courses in Languages, History, Sociology, Phil- osophy, Education, and Mathematics are held at Hallahan High School in Philadelphia, while the Sciences are given at Villanova where laboratory space is available. Need- less to say, this venture has proved a great convenience to nuns, priests, and brothers living in or near Philadel- phia, as well as lay people who wish to improve them- selves and who are unable to attend the summer sessions. In answer to the demands of modern business for more specialized training in Accounting and related subjects the Evening School was instituted in 1928. For six years it was held on the campus, but in 1934 it was moved to Hallahan, for the greater convenience of residents of Philadelphia. Its program of studies is intended for two Eightyfour Feeling .1 need for cultural training, or a desire for per- sonal achievement, many mature persons, long past the period of compulsory school attendance, enroll in night school courses. Some, seeking to develop a well-rounded personality, and to learn appreciation for the finer things of life, take lecture courses such as the one in Ethics pictured above. Others, seeking advancement in business, take courses like the one in accounting, shown at right. general classes of students: (1) those working for a diploma in Commerce and Finance, who must complete thirty-six credits, and attend classes at least two nights a week (2) special students taking courses for self-im- provement, or to supplement credits previously received toward an A.B. or B.S. in Economics degree. The Evening Session offers the same advantages to the lay students that the Summer School does to the teaching Sisters. The Saturday School offers to the Sisters the opportunity to continue their studies throughout the year. The charges made arc nominal, and no advertising is done or even any announcement of the sessions made outside of the Annual Bulletin. Yet they have been patronised every year to the full capacity of their facilities to ac- commodate students. At nine-thirty classes are over. For the e working people, that means the evening is gone, since they must be on the job fresh and alert the next morning. The sacrifice of night school involves more than the two or three evenings of class; homework must be done on the olf-nights. Yet the number of people seeking self-improvement through this medium con- tinues to grow. Eighty-five A GENTLEMAN 'C A SCHOLAR THE PRODUCTS OF FOUR INTRIGUING, I TO SHARE a man's musings, a man's memories, is to have a kinship with him of the most intimate nature. And it is in this class history that the typical Villanova Senior proffers such intimacy and his memories of four years to you. There he sits—curled cozily in a large, comfortable looking easy chair—his figure barely outlined in the half light of his room—eyes now closed, now searching the opposite wall for some elusive detail of the past—fuming pipe in hand—we listen—he muses: Here I sit, graduation only a few days away, and then I'm finished. It doesn't seem like four years at all, but I imagine the highway of life dwindles to a mere footpath upon looking back. We were all more than lucky to even be here. For nearly ten years we had been raised in the shadow of one of the worst financial depressions in history. But somehow or other we scraped together enough to take care of the first year, hoping that conditions would improve. Any way we looked at it, school seemed like the best place to be; for one thing there were no jobs available and we thought that further study might pave the way for a break.

I often think of wearing the “rcgs, the blue dink, black bow tie and badge—bothersome things then—dust covered reminders now of a year that changed boys to men, and high school ways to adult, collegiate mannerisms. Then there was the menacing roster for the first semester, a challenge that had to be accepted. At that time the Orientation Committee was the most important influence in our lives. We had to really bear down in the beginning to get a good start, but very shortly the Soph Cotillion served as an outlet for our social ambitions. 1 didn't miss a football game that year. How could I with the inimitable Clipper and his Wildcat Gridsters riding the crest of a wave of victories that made Villa- r.ova known throughout Sportland. Our freshmen teams guaranteed gratifying results in the future. When we returned home during that first Christmas vacation, we were perhaps just a little wiser and more sophisticated in December than we had been in September; numerous changes were already noticeable. Exams came with exasperating regularity and each time there was the expected mortality, but most of us sur- vived. With Spring and its accompanying feeling of lassitude, came our first class elections, political chicanery, whisper- ing campaigns and the results: Zealor, President; Dcasy, Vice-President; Flannery, Secretary' and Norton, Treas- urer, who were to work with Father Dunne, our Moder- ator. Quickly then come finals and the long summer va- cation so enviably a part of college life. Our return to school was far different from our arrival the year before. We had friends to greet and a sense of familiarity about the place that closely bordered on ownership. A long smouldering fire in Europe began to burst into flame, but we did not think too much of it at the time. It was our turn now to wear the white hats instead of McAloon, Vinci. Murphy, Bronnan, Morri . Yund, Zlonkewic , Collbcrt, Nugent. Jointly Remember your freshman year? What senior doesn’t. Newly made friends became inseparable companions. The regs served not only to brand us as frosh . but to bind us together as a class. The spacious campus which at first awed us with its beauty assumed the home like atmosphere which grew stronger each succeeding year. That pent up feeling of friendly rivalry with our big brothers, the sophs, was released with zest on that unforgettable field day. A cold soaking rain and knee deep mud served to stimulate rather than depress our already buoyant spirits.

Now it was our turn to give orders instead of taking them. We got right back in stride with the ease and facility developed only by experience. Following tradition, the class ran the Soph Cotillion as its first social venture. Dates were obtained from the neighboring schools for the uninitiated frosh and some clever sophs. Ed Eichman was maestro for the evening. Our classmates began to break into varsity line-ups and to establish themselves as safe bets as future directors in the extra curricular field.

Our entry was not without trepidations, on more than one score, not the least of which was the all too fresh memory of Britain's Libor Day entry into the war. Since we were long since accustomed to the many operations involved in starting a school year, much free time was available for a discussion of the game of dictators. We had been pointing to this year for a long time and now that it had come, our intention was to drink its pleasure to the last dregs. Autumn activities were taken in stride and not a dance or game was missed. Statistics proved that over a five year period the Wildcat footballers were among the nation's top ranking teams.

Those of us who “went steady were sorely tempted by the sister rings and the rest became extra cautious when the lady friend's ahs” hit high seize. Homework and assignments were already being done well in advance because it had been settled that nothing would interfere with the hilarity of Junior Week. The Belle Air Ball that year seemed almost like our own because of our intimacy with the seniors. Like the Light Brigade, we were surrounded on every side by this committee and that committee until it seemed that everybody was directing something. Blazers, the perennial envy of every upperclassman be came our next acquisition. Cliff Randolph found it quite a problem making shoulders look square and waist lines less noticeable. Jim Collins enjoyed Junior Week from his vantage point as general chairman. Murray Zealor was assigned the task of welcoming our mothers who were entertained by the lavish display featuring Open House, held in the field house under the direction of Fred Steller. Junior week meant, officially and otherwise, one con tinual round of social forays. Bill Appel saw to it that everything was in order for the Blazer Ball. This served as a tunc up for the real performance Friday night. Sartorial perfection and pent up energy really got us in the mood. Juniors looking as though they had just stepped out of Esquire, arms graced by exotically per- fumed charmers, siiiled forth on the sea of dreamy music.

Vacation was a welcome oasis in the burning sands of class work, but we left school that spring with the sobering thought that it was our last summer of freedom. Seriously and with firm resolution, we entered the homestretch, the senior year. Realizing that college life was fast waning, we intended to get the most out of everything. Thoughts of getting measured for academic gowns and mortars boards were supplanted by thoughts of getting measured for uniforms when Registration Day came in j; The inserts present the receptive moods of leader Van Alexander and vocalist Phyllis Kenny while above them the orchestra performs a specialty, then slows down to a dreamy waltz which makes for the second scene.

One Hundred Thirty JAMES MORAN Snatched from the very threshold of his Junior year, on September 21. 1939. A sinus infection was the cause of his untimely death. Having graduated from Camden Catholic High School, he attended Brown Prep and Drcxcl Institute before coming to Villanova. A student in mechanical engi- neering. his chief interest was aviation. His sociable disposition made large the number of friends who mourned his loss. 3n fflemoriam These things: a vacant chair in a lecture hail. That tree beneath whose shade the errant lad Was lured from class by Spring's nostalgic call. A tattered text, some notes, which once he had: These things, a missing voice from a college cheer. A lusty laugh, a quiet smile no more To grace the mitless pun of prof , are dear To us. locked fast behind our memory's door— These things, but what are they?

INTELLIGENT student interest in the manage' ment of the College must be met with some re' sponse or it will die out. One means of gratify' ing the natural desire on the part of students to ex' press their opinions is the annual President's Dinner to student leaders. A formal affair, it is held in Father Stanford's private office. The presidents of the classes and editors of the major publications are the usual ones invited, and during the course of the evening each is invited to speak his piece on what he thinks should be done to improve the functioning of the college. Father Stanford and Father Albers both reply, stating the viewpoint of the administra- tion concerning the matters under discussion, and offering suggestions for possible solution of the prob- lems to the greatest satisfaction of all concerned.

Father Sullivan serves as faculty advisor to the Class of 1941. Junior year, most active of the four, involves the greatest amount of responsibih ity for the moderator. SUMMER vacation jointed the parade of fleeting months, and while the conscription bill was being debated in Congress, the Class of '42 returned to Villanova as Juniors. The officers who had been elected to direct the activities of the class for this year were Howlett, Kirchncr, Gabuzda, and Melton, serving in the capacities of Presi- dent, Vice-President, Secretary, and Treasurer, respectively. Preparations for social events began with the first class meeting held early in Octo- ber. The ring committee, headed by Dick Gray, was immediately appointed in order that these traditional insignia might be had by Christmas. Weeks swiftly passed, the hardest of the four years, from a scholastic point of view, for many of the Juniors. In no time at all May arrived and with it Junior Week. Bill Hooper was General Chairman of the festivities. The traditional ceremonies of Mass, flag-raising, and planting of the ivy were followed by the entertainment of the Mothers, a customary feature of the first day of Junior Week. Open House was held, with an academic, scientific, and technical display lasting two days. On Wednesday evening was the Blazer Ball, an informal dance at which the Juniors turn out wearing their new coats, the badge of approaching seniorhood. The climax of the week was of course the Prom. Will Bradley and his orchestra headed a star-studded bill of attraction. The myriad details were handled by John Parson and his committee. Closing Junior Week, and with it the social activities of the Junior year, was the Dinner Dance, held at the Hotel Benjamin Franklin in Philadelphia. Vince Gordon was chairman of this affair. When it was over the Juniors realized with a pang that their third and most eventful year was about over. For all practical purposes, in respect to the time remaining to them at Villanova, they were now Seniors.

Melton and Gabuzda are both serving a second term in their respective offices.

As soon as the frosh had safely stowed all our trunks and various other gear away and the little matter of class schedules had been attended to, we forthwith plunged into the routine obligations of class and the pleasant duty of sponsoring our initial social endeavor at Villanova. The Sophomore Cotillion, directed by capable Jim Walsh, was one of the most successful in years, and we were able to donate a sizeable sum to our scholarship fund and look forward to even greater things next year. We settled down to existence as an organized class under our able officers, Tom Muraski, John Dougherty, Sam Canning, and John Quinn. At the close of the previous year, Fr. Maguire had been appointed faculty moderator with the task of counseling us during the next three years. The Centennial class gave good promise during the second year of becoming an outstanding class in Villanova history. Its representatives shone on every athletic team and in almost every other activity.

Mod- erator of Belle Masque, hr has also been chosen to guide the destinies of the Class of ’44. HURINCJ the first quarter of each school year the Freshman Class undergoes an apprenticeship pre- paring its members to become full-fledged Villanovans. One of the primary aims of the Orientation program is the development of school spirit, and the success of the efforts in this direction had its first public demonstra- tion when the Frosh turned out en masse at the first foot- ball game to cheer the team on to victory. Socially, athletically, and scholastically the Freshmen had a very successful year, as other pages will testify. Now, merged completely with the student body they have elected their class officers for next year and are well launched on their collegiate career.

V11; LI II111S � N EVERY college campus, every day, certain typical events transpire which arc an integral part of a collegian's experience. Every Villanovan has witnessed and lived these scenes a hundred times over until they have become an essential part of his college recollections. To supplement the faculties of fallible memory there is materially recorded on these pages characteristic happenings in common-place scenes familiar to every student of Villanova, resident or non-resident, freshman or senior. As the players enacting these daily roles. The Belle Air has selected individual men who have inculcated in their daily lives some of the ideals with which Villanova inspires her students. Both in the classroom and out, they have practiced what they have been taught; some have distinguished themselves because they have assimilated much of what Villanova has to offer. Others, not content with stopping there, have gone further and have given Villanova much of themselves. To announce these campus celebrities the regular staff of cheerleaders has put in an appearance. Here stand O’Donnell, Simpson, Koness, Smith and Green ready to swing megaphone to mouth and raise an uproar. If judgment is made from the stir they created at the football games of the past season, this group will very well handle the situation. In fact, they themselves deserve mention in this section. Consistency of effort denotes a strong willed reliable indi- vidual and compels admiration. Walt Brown has this quality to perfection. Every evening without fail Walt managed the library’s distributing desk, even when social events beckoned and personal work demanded attention. Though Chapel cuts are trivial matters to some fellows, not only does Hugh Boyle never miss an evening, but he’s there early, arranging for the service. Despite his position as President of the Sanctuary Society, no task is below or beyond him. Smiling Dick DiMarcantonio is a campus character of note for his sure-fire cure of morbidity. His grin is so contagious that everyone must succumb to it. However, Pie Shoppe Louie is steeled against Dickie’s charm and makes him pay up. Credit for unifying the Mendel Day-Students’ basketball team and making it a good one must go to Bob DePersio. Besides playing stellar ball himself, he also played a salesman- managerial role. He sold the difficult idea of playing inconvenient, night games to his confreres and then made it practical. One Hur.d •ed Thirty-nine mm N issin uni i s This Page: Joe Barnes eats, sleeps, and argues sports. Sports Editor of both the Belle Air and Villanovan.” he is also Irish—a fact frequently apparent in his uninhibited columns. Student Council Chairman Murray Zealor has obtained his education the hard way. A newspaper route and sundry other jobs combined with his extensive activities to annihilate any dull moment which threatened. Genial Jim Forkin's chief interests are socializing and basket- ball. He spared enough time from the former to become all intra-mural in the latter to make several honor rolls. Big George Coupe is a man about town. Affable, fun-loving, he turned serious to direct a colossal Junior Prom last year. Opposite Page, reading clockwise: Little Nick Basra scores again. This time it's not a Wildcat touchdown as the varsity football captain and unrecognized All- American but as the modest student. Here, an untimely phone call interrupts Nick’s shower. With a nation-wide choice of colleges his as the recipient of a Pennsylvania Railroad scholarship. Jack Skelly chose Villan- ova. Besides this unregretted tribute. Jack has given sincerity and genial fellowship to his alma mater. Charlie Dolan did a bit of legitimate wire-pulling at Villa- nova, substituting for the regular operator at times. A stolid individual, Charlie methodically plunges through all work with case. Walt Kelley has splashed his way into more headlines than any other Villanova swimmer. The growing recognition of this sport is largely due to Captain Walt's record-breaking perform- ances in individual competition. The chief of Austin's intral-mural firemen” can only be Dan Keating of basketball prowess. He sparked his teams to victory in nearly every sport and demonstrated administrative talents as 4I’s Junior Class Prexy. Wide-eyed, agile Tony Scelba is really a pep merchant who can supply that article on demand. In the past few years he has led fellow Fediganites to several Temple Game decoration crowns. The fellow more often behind the camera than before it is campus photographer, Gus” Mancuso. For four years he served the Villanovan excellent pictures and almost everyone else who required photography work. VAONVjniA ——■ This Page: Subde humor features Cliff Randolph's nature and stands him in good stead as he captains his varsity golfers over bunkers and sand-traps. As a clothing connoisseur, he managed 41’s blazer buy. With a center berth on the 150’s first team assured, self- sacrificing Bill Nihill elected rather to bolster one of the guard positions even though it meant learning new tactics and less actual playing. Gaining one degree is a large order, but having two behind one's name is a distinction. Hy Malkin has just added a Bachelor of Chemical Engineering to his Villanova degree of B.S. in Biology. Happy Bill Appel harmonizes with some of his boogie-woogie boys, trying to find the lost chord. Bill was a standout member of the quartet and really excels as a whistler. Opposite Page, reading eloekwise: At last May's annual convention of student chemists one was particularly outstanding. He was Frank Smith of the host college, Villanova. Frank presented a brilliant paper, adjudged the best of the conference. Rumor has it that John Pholcric smiles even in his sleep. At any rate, his waking hours are filled with constant horse-play which gives way only to class work and swimming. No matter class occasion, if decorations were required, Jim Jernee was given the job of supplying them. His masterpiece was done at the Senior Ball with his Southern veranda motif. Jim Donovan, Belle Masque President and unconfined master of rhetoric, makes one of his rare trips to the vending machine. But Jim is an orator and a steady honor man. Trenton's Jack Eldrachrr practices a few new tricks in baton twirling, not that he needs it. No goal-post was too high, no maneuver too intricate for Villanova’s drum-major. Band efficiency expert and Belle Air college editor, fiery- maned John Bader also upholds Wilmington and intervention- ism. He will argue for hours upon the position of a preposi- tional phrase. This Page: Frank Lombardo, most valuable” 150 pound footballer, fondle� the wri� t watch, token of hi ability and gift of the local alumni. Frank did not need thi to be far ahead of the times in all his activities. A versatile as they come, few are the activities in which Tom Moore doesn’t play a major part. Belle Air Editor-in-Chief. debating manager and Villanovan” columnist, he also swims with the varsity and plays 150 pound football, not to mention having a high scholastic rating. Varsity court co captain Paul Nugent, ever high on district scoring lists, stretches out for repair after a customarily brilliant performance. Unassuming in street clothes, he’s the spark in basketball togs. Familiar non-students on the campus are Marvin, he who rises with the sun to raise the colors, and Carl Wolf, professional photographer for the Belle Air, whose placid disposition makes him a favorite. Opposite Page, reading clockwise: Not particularly noted for nautical excellencies. Jack Gleeson. without conditioning practice, performed an amazing swimming feat. At the intra-mural meet he traveled 85 yards under water, thereby breaking the pool record. Dapper Art Somers has the golden quality of persuasion. During the Presidential campaign F. D. R. was favored with his powers as was the business end of the Belle Air throughout the year. In spite of many extra-curricular burdens, Jim Collins com- muted all the way from Wilmington for three years.

These certificates are given out only on the basis of real work done, which prevents joiners” from becoming attached to an organization for the sole purpose of receiving the award. In addition, the recipient's scholastic, disciplinary, and chapel record must be satisfactory. Merit Awards are given for varsity, minor, and intra mural sports, publications, musical organiza- tions, Debating, the Sanctuary Society, seminars, class offices and committees, and fraternity offices. By providing official and permanent recognition, not merely of participation in extra-curricular ac- tivities, but of a well rounded collegiate life, the Merit Award system encourages students to strive for the achievement of this ideal.

One Hundred Forty-eight SI) THAT PEACE AIAV RE Mill 1INCE all men have a common Father in God, it follows logically that they % possess the kinship of brothers. For that reason they should live with each J other and treat each other as they would blood relations. Justice, charity, and cooperation should be their guiding principles rather than injustice, hatred, and enmity. If the individuals who govern society and those who are governed would accept wholeheartedly this attitude toward their fellow men, society would have a wholesome constitution, free from the constant wrangling and bickering which accompanies a vicious attitude toward one’s neighbor. Those who possess authority have received it from God: those whose lot it is to obey, owe obedience to authority in God’s name. Just as the true basis of home life should be fraternal love, so likewise the universal family should live in peaceful cooperation. Society should be looked upon as really one big family, wih mutual instead of antagonistic interests. Blood- shed and poverty would be entirely foreign to such a society. An attitude of brotherhood necessarily presupposes a spiritual relationship over and above the material bond. Materialists deny this principle, and their attitude necessarily leads to the setting up of material values as the ultimate good. Hence the doctrines of might makes right’’ and the survival of the fittest.” Since all men have a common destiny, eventual union with their Father, their purpose should be to work together toward this common goal. As enemies, they can only prevent themselves and each other from ever reaching it. Best publicized of the seminars is that devoted to Music. In addition to such notices as these, reminders of the various programs are delivered weekly directly to the rooms of inter, ested students. To provide a background of understanding before records are played or recitals given, both Father Vrana and Doctor Haenisch present explanatory lectures. As a result, factual knowledge remains after the strains pass on. 1UST as the school which provides only technical, sal- .1 able, training has failed to do its job, so also the student who learns only what his class-room and textbook teach, has failed to derive full benefit from his education. Consequently, it is of vital importance that the stu- dent receive training which will give him a fuller knowledge of his chosen field, and which will also broaden his horizons in other, non-staple, fields. Toward this end, Seminars have been established. Less formal, and hence less formidable, than the class- room, these groups cover almost every type of collegi- ate endeavor. Mlusic Seminar The Music Seminar, one of the more largely attended organizations, aims at developing appreciation of music, rather than technical knowledge. Management by Father Vrana makes it efficient; lectures by Dr. Hae- nisch make it interesting. The main source of material is records, but at various intervals guest artists arc fea- tured. Some students attend for pleasure; some attend for study; some even attend for refreshments—All go away satisfied. A son sc of time and place, of vital necessity for this chang- ing world, is developed by the frequent consultation of maps and charts. Such visual aids are in accord with the best edu- cational theories. Sealed: Canfield, Hoffman Brown, Clancy, Dr. Hartman Kubler, Smith. Standing: Mee han, Walpole, Begley. McMa hon. Miller, Lukacs, Uric, Cal lahan, Anderson. CUSS IIIIPik Versatility and joviality are combined in the personality of Doc” Haenisch. The artist is rare among scientists, but this rotund chemist can tickle the keys with the best. After a long class day Dr. Haenisch donates his expertly versatile services to the weekly Music Seminar. Its members think of the music as moving but the talks of the Doc as quickening its power. History Seminar Through the History Seminar, students are able to voice the opinions on current topics and to sift the pro and con evidence on controversial matters. Firmly be- lieving in the theory that a thorough and appreciative understanding of the constitutional processes involved in the intricate functionings of democratic government and institutions is essential to good citizenship. Dr. Harold F. Hartman, moderator, arranged an extensive program most effective in the accomplishment of that particular objective. Specifically directed towards a knowledge of governmental proccsss and an intimate observation of current problems, the seminar accomplishes its purposes through the employment of the traditional American privileges of free discussion, and by attending authorita- tivc lectures delivered by experts in the various fields. Sealed: Fr. Donncllon, Di Giovanni, Fares, Tortoreco, Di Santo. Standing: Nelson, H.idficld, Daly, Gambcscia, R e d n c r, Mann, Ciatteo, Gigliotti, Salz- mann. I'IS II111) E U I F 0 It M1L I Til (I Si'll mu; International Relations Seminar Closely allied with this group, in subject matter at least, is the International Relations Club. Its purposes are to foster an interest in national and foreign affairs, to cultivate an understanding of current events, and, in general, to study the diplomatic policies of various gov- ernments. For such pursuits, the Club found an ex- cellent moderator in the Rev. Edward J. McCarthy, O.S.A. The main topic for discussion was our relations with South America. The reason for this choice was not a desire to minimize the importance of European affairs, but a desire to utilize fully Father McCarthy's special- ized knowledge of South American affairs. A small library composed largely of books contributed by the Carnegie Foundation aided in research. More than any other study club, this organization travelled to nearby colleges for intercollegiate forums. Language Seminars Two language clubs hold an important place among Villanova Seminars. The Spanish Club, directed by Rev. Lorenzo Lozano, O.S.A., claims the distinction of being the largest club on the campus; and the German Club with Rev. William Lunney, O.S.A., as moderator, engages in extensive intercollegiate activity. Members of the German Club with their guest from the College of Chestnut Hill are shown ju� t before the viewing of a film which featured the world famous Vienna Choir boys. In acquiring an insight into the age-old German culture, the organization makes all possible use of modern conveniences. Joint conferences invariably include the singing of Ger- man folk songs. Selection of the tunes is made in accord- ance with the season of the year. In this pre-Christmas session, the repertoire was chiefly composed of Christmas carols. Here again we find a session of the history seminar. Dr. Hart- man leads a discussion dealing with the decline of the revolu- tionary spirit in France. Definite measures are taken to find mod- ern counterparts for the various stages of historical development that have occurred in the past. As a residt. a deeper insight into the affairs of today is more likely to be developed. Many students are first at- tracted to the seminar because of their courses in constitutional law. Consequently, not a few of the discussions pertain to the activi- ties of our national government. Sociology Seminar Students of Sociology gain much from participation in the Sociology Seminar. Guided by the Rev. Vincent A. McQuade, O.S.A., this group meets bi-weekly to expand the knowledge which its members have gained in class. Attention this year was turned toward the practical application of Christian sociological prin- ciples to the political questions confronting the nation. Authoritative guest speakers were secured from time to time to lead the discussion. Research Seminar Almost in the nature of graduate work is the Re- search Seminar. The primary object of this group is to develop a scientific attitude on the part of the stu- dent. by means of research. Informal discussions on scientific subjects of interest both to new and advanced students are held under the guidance of Rev. James A. Donnellon, O.S.A., moderator of the seminar. The dis- cussions are developed into theses worked out from printed authorities and from laboratory research. The above organizations thus do their part to make it possible for students to receive benefits worth far more than the effort expended. Another purpose of the Club it to serve as a medium for social contacts. At the conclusion of the scheduled pro- gram. both groups revert to the native tongue and enjoy dancing, music, and refreshments—in American style. Entertainments of this nature, usually held every three months, encourage informality. Impromptu discussions are held by the member . Opinions and ideas are exchanged with particular reference to the lecture, film, or topic which has been the attraction of the evening. 1|A1N activity of Villanova’s Spanish Club is its an- III nual play, directed by Father Lorenzo Lozano, the 4 1 enthusiastic moderator, and presented in conjunC' tion with the Spanish Club of Immaculata College. Other activities include an annual dinner, an essay con- test, the showing of Spanish movies, and the learning of popular Spanish songs at weekly meetings. Officers are Joseph Scornavacci, President: Stephen Pritko, Vice-President: James Walsh, Secretary, and Arsenio Martinez, Treasurer. Left to right: McCall, Schubert, Collini, Fr.

Anxious to supplement knowledge and culture gleaned from textbooks and class- work, a small group of interested students meet weekly in comfortable Simpson Hall to exchange ideas found in the works of fa- vorite authors. Members endeavor to read at least one book for each meeting in order to provide material for discussion. Current popular volumes are not the only object of interest; it is the opinion that classics, which have long since proven their worth, should be a part of one's literary repertoire. A trip to the Haddon Craftsmen Printing Corporation during the year gave members an insight into the mechanics of book- making. Consideration of the cultural value of the German language and a study of the peoples and places where this tongue is spoken are the foremost objectives of the German Club. At the regular weekly meet- ings held under the direction of the faculty moderator. Father Lunney, emphasis is placed upon a knowledge of conversational German. Increased membership in the organization during the past year has considerably broad- ened the scope of activities. Meetings were arranged with similar clubs of other col- leges in the vicinity and German films, art, and music were studied. The purpose of Mu Alpha Theta, re- stricted to those students showing particular interest and ability in Mathematics, is the promotion of individual research. After being spurred on to advanced study by Pro- fessor Amelotti, the students bring the results of their research to the group for criticism and discussion. At various inter- val, guest speakers lecture on especially de- tailed and advanced topics. Conjunct meet- ings with similar organizations from local colleges provide particularly select sym- posiums. The Radio Club, a brand-new addition to the College’s extra-curricular program helps its members improve their microphone technique, chiefly by providing opportuni- ties for them to practice. At its frequent meetings, the group pre- sents imitation radio programs, gives and criticises radio speeches, and learns some- thing of the technicalities of microphone control and transcription as well. The Radio Club is aided by Rev. John J. Vrana, O. S. A., who originated the idea and now acts as Moderator. Members make use of equipment recently purchased by the school, the maintenance of which is in Father Vrana's care. E, ilii n m r n virrv w Direct contact with the problems of chemistry in the industrial and research worlds is provided by the Villanova Chemical Engineering Society. Under the supervision of Dr. Haenisch the program of activities is arranged each year. Fea- tured this year was the meeting of the Inter- collegiate Students' Chemical Association which convened at the college on April twenty-third. Other highlights of the program included trips to the Pennsylvania Salt Co., the Pennsylvania Sugar Co., anti the I.ewis White Lead Co. In- structive lectures were delivered by authorities like Dr. Molstad and Dr. Longmuir. In addition, several films were shown on recent achievements in chemical research. Attention to the practical aspects of electrical work in order to supplement the curricular theory is the chief occupation of the Villanova branch of the American Institute of Electrical Engineers. At bi-weekly meetings industrial films are shown and reports given by students on technical devel- opments in the Electrical Engineering field. This year the members visited the Philco Radio Co.’s plant, and viewed an exhibit of modern lighting systems at the Bellevue-Stratford Hotel. In addition they attended the National Convention of the A.I.E.E. in Philadelphia, and toward the end of the year the Convention of Student Chapters at the University of Pennsylvania. In a program that is improving annually both in size and calibre, the American Society of Civil Engineers this year included inspection tours to the Springfield Water Works, Radnor Sewage Disposal Plant, the Conowingo Dam, and other places of technical interest. In conjunction with the practical aspects of engineering our future transit gazers attended monthly dinners at the Engineers' Club of Phila- delphia. While idly smoking cigars and sipping a demi-tasse, they listened to talks given by some of the city’s leading engineers on current engineer- ing topics. At the local chapter meetings held bi-weekly, the students themselves delivered lectures and papers illustrated by slides. Broadening the technical outlook and providing opportunities for social contact are the primary objectives which the American Society of Mechan- ical Engineers seek for its members. Numerous lecturers addressed the organization at regularly scheduled conferences; among these were E. L. Hoppings and Charles Jones of the Philadelphia Electric Co. Actual construction methods were observed through the use of films illustrating the manufac- ture of planes and the building of the Golden Gate Bridge. Relationship with other schools was fostered by the Fall Smoker and Student Night held a; the Engineers’ Club in Philadelphia. The annual stu- dent convention was held this spring at Brooklyn Fill! ('LONGI II 1VIIS IIP FELLOWSHIP mYPICAL of the spirit of the engineering students is I their fraternity. Phi Kappa Pi, known to most members as “Phi Kap. Continuous active existence since 1907 has given it a tradition which sets it apart from the other Villanova fraternities. Cooperation and good organization have made it not only the most active frat, but also a power in campus politics. Opening event of its social calendar is the Fall Smoker, which serves as a reunion for the old members and as an introduction to the Freshmen, who are always present as guests. Cigars, cigarettes, a speech or two from the faculty members or from an alumnus, plus some refresh' ments, make up the usual routine of the smoker. This year a swing band composed only of fellow engineers high- lighted the occasion and added to the fun. Its dance, known as the Owl Hop, is one of the high- lights of the Autumn season for everyone at Villanova. Following this, the Frat conducts a midwinter initiation, at which new members are inducted in a humane manner by the substitution of highly scientific devices for the crude paddles of a bygone era. Final activity of the year is a Spring Dinner. Meetings arc held bi-monthly, and feature lectures by faculty, undergraduate, and guest speakers. These lec- tures foster interest not only in engineering subjects, but also in non-tcchnical subjects: music, art and sociology. • THE initials of three great Doctor-Saints -Luke, Cosmas, and Damian have provided the name for Villanova's honorary Pre-Medical fraternity. Lambda Kappa Delta. Banded together by the common goal of a future profes- sion, the members of the frat hold business meetings during lunch hour in order to plan bi-monthly informative get- togethers to which guest speakers are usually invited. L.K.D. is composed of selected Pre-Medical students in the Science School. This year a Board of Admissions headed by Joseph Camarda picked twenty-one candidates, mostly freshmen, from a total of forty-six applicants. After an initiation exceeded in severity only by that of Phi Kappa Pi, the hopeful future doctors, with their hands on the skull, symbol of the Medical profession, pledged themselves to uphold the ideals of the Brotherhood. An interested group caused the activities to move along at a good pace. The annual Fall Dance, always an out- standing event on the social calendar, this year went over successfully under the chairmanship of David Morse. In May the fraternity showed movies on scientific subjects which were distributed by the DuPont Co. L.K.D. aims always to keep standards of admission to membership at a high level. This years average of less than fifty percent of the candidates accepted shows that the standard is not falling off. Father Dougherty, dynamic Dean of the Science School, is likewise moderator of the Science School fraternity. ORGANIZED in 1939, Chi Epsilon Mu, honor fra- ternity of the Engineering School, has steadily increased in membership and influence during the three short years of its existence. This in spite of very rigorous ad- mission requirements. Its members hope that the fra- ternity will soon have sufficient enrollment to make pos- sible affiliation with a national engineering honor society. At an annual Spring banquet attended by the entire en- gineering faculty, new candidates from the junior and senior classes, nominated by a faculty board for their ex- ceptional scholastic records, are admitted, and keys dis- tributed. William Appel headed Chi Epsilon Mu during the past year. Vice-President was Raymond E. Vener. and Frank W. Smith served as Secretary and Treasurer. Seated: F. Smith, Vener, Appel, Mr. Oakcy.

Begrimed and bedraggled after their long drawn out initia- tion, these I..K.D. aspirants are finally allowed to take the oath which makes them full-fledged members of that fraternity.

And so it is that a certain group of Villanova's youth is served by the eldest of the old fraternal organ- isations, Epsilon Phi Theta, Fraternity of the School of Arts. Epsilon Phi Theta serves its members to a large portion of good fellowship, unity of projects, and com- munal scholastic aid. Because of natural limitations encompassing it, E.P.T.'s outward functions have not been overly impressive in number, but the underlying spirit of comradeship has been quite evident. October saw the new members initi- ated; early December the management of the Rosemont- Villanova Choral Concert; in March E.P.T. assisted at the presentation of the Immaculata-Villanova Symphonic Band: in May its annual formal dinner was given. Keys were procured for the Seniors of the Frat in the latter part of the year and the establishment of a free text book library service for the benefit of the brothers begun. One of the most important accomplishments of the year was the formation of plans for the re-inauguration of a Literary Magazine on the campus. KAPPA GAMMA SIGMA, organized in 1940, is the youngest chartered society on the campus. Its purpose is to disseminate a greater knowledge of physics among its members, and to give them an understanding and appreciation of physical concepts as they apply to modern civilization. Meetings are held weekly, and each meeting is given over to the consideration of an original research paper presented by a member of the organization. Under the guidance of the Rev. John H. Crawford, O.S.A., interest has not lagged. Officers for the past years were: Joseph Gambescia, President; John Bongiovanni, Vice-President; Harold Varani, Secretary; and George Weber, Treasurer. One Hundred Sixtytwo President George Flannery, with the paddle , aymbolic of all initiations, crossed over his head, reads the oath of mem- bership to the forty-five new candidates for Delta Pi Epsilon who have just successfully passed their trial by ordeal. Every year Phi Kappa Pi gives a smoker early in the fall to which all freshmen engineers are invited. Not the least of the attractions, as evidenced by this picture, are the refresh- ments.

In a short space of time it has come so rapidly to the fore among campus social groups, that this year it was one of the most enterprising bodies on the campus. In November the frat, at its first initiation, inducted forty-five new members. This stormy session with the initiation committee, several paddles, and a bottle of castor oil produced memories that have not yet been nor soon will be forgotten. The Financier’s Frolic,” an informal dance held in January was the social highlight of the frat’s season. In spite of snow and approaching exams, a large crowd attended and danced to the music of the Villanovans. As an inaugural affair it was a complete success. Late in the spring the second annual dinner was held, at which graduating members were presented with keys, and the retiring officers turned their duties over to the newly elected officials. The large enrollment in the business school assures the fraternity of a large and active membership in the future. One Hundred Sixty-three Father Falvcy will be long remembered for hi� sincere and all out” interest in the Belle Air. Each year his position becomes increasing' difficult because of past successes, but the manner in which he has stimulated continual progress assures even greater accom- plishments in the future. Recently appointed co-moderator of the Belle Air, Father Sullivan has been of invaluable aid to the success of the yearbook. The quality of the copy i due immeasurably to his knowledge of everything English. Habitually careful to avoid practical errors and to impound sound judgment, his wise counsel has been followed and will always be remembered. H ERE is the 1941 Belle Air Staff; the fellows who for a year have had as one of their main objectives in life the production of a yearbook that would not suffer by comparison with any such publication throughout the collegiate world. Theirs has been a difficult but an enjoyable and profitable task. Theirs has been an enviable but challenging heritage. Honors of the highest degree have come to the BELLE Air: All American. All Catholic, and the recently established Book of the Year Club award, given to the ten best college yearbooks in the country; tangible evi- dence of the satisfaction with which interested readers, and detached critics have viewed the Villanova Year Book. Faithful staff members, talented editors, energetic moderators, and the best available professional func- tionaries have spent numberless hours and have drunk dry the effervescent spring of their combined intelligences to give you a pictorial and verbal repre- sentation of life at Villanova College. For a year now, this book has been their baby to conceive, their seedling to nurture and their finished product to give you; your book to read, think about, laugh at, treasure for the memories it revives, and per- haps even to gripe about. During the year, few persons find cause to concern themselves with the yearbook because unlike other types of publications there is little of that drawing power known as glamour to attract a larger staff. Many and long arc ihc conferences editors have with the printer. It is during these sessions that numerous ideas subcqucntly found in yearbook are conceived. Here, Tom Moore, 1941 Belle Air editor, and Mr. William T. Cooke get together at the Clark Printing House. One Hundred Sixty four A yearbook is appropriately named, for the work ex- tend throughout the year. Staff meetings such as the ones pictured above with Art Somers, Business Manager, Joe Barnes. Sports Editor, Gordon Brosmcr, Copy Editor, and John Bader, College Editor, keep interest alive. Bill Way, Photography Editor, consults old yearbooks to avoid duplicating ideas. Inevitably the main bulk of the burden is born by a few. A gratifying number exert some effort but the natural course of events finds an easily numbered group who sec the thing through from beginning to end; meticulous John Bader; composedly capable Art Somers; prolific Joe Barnes; affable Bill Way; suave Gordon Brosmcr, self-sacrificing Jim Collins, and force- ful coordinator Tom Moore. These men have contributed the largest share but the others played a part no less important and indis- pensable. It is the hope of all that they have produced an everlasting record of their four years at Villanova; a source of satisfaction to all; a means of recalling treasured memories; a credit to their Alma Mater, the 1941 Belle Air.

It seems that nothing can be ac- complished in a journalistic headquarters unless there be a flurry of copy paper descending in a snowy whirl, inevitably to rest on the floor. The Villanovan has developed this professional touch to such a degree that one would think its 119 Mendel Hall office were made of paper machc. However, this mark of industry is not misleading, for the well-papered floor really results from much work. Concrete proof of the fruits of this work can be had by viewing the array of awards won by the Villanovan and prominently displayed in its office. Here hang more than a dozen framed certificates in testament to the weekly's typically high standards of collegiate journalism. Resulting from national competition, these include several All American ratings. First Class and All Catholic merits. Change of staff is made each January when all Seniors retire. Retiring Editor-in-Chief Jim Col- lins, here advises the new editor. Tom Doyle, and Sports Editor Bob Funabaahi on a point of make-up. But new staff or old, the boys always jam the Villanovan” office to await the paper’s delivery, and ads must be had, so Business Man- ager Jack Gallagher and Assistant Gene Smith go after them. A little matter of a Ph.D. thesis being due could not prevent Fr. McKee from chaperoning his Intra-mural league to greater achievements, his first love, the Villanovan,” from improving, and general Villanova from being refreshed by his geniality. His energy approaches perpetual motion and his basketball playing leonine gentle- ness. VILLAKOVAN By those who work in the shadow of its presses and by those who receive it before the print is yet dry, the Villanovan is also held in high esteem. For some fifty staff writers it provides a practical instrument for the development of a more sprightly and thorough style. The various departments of the paper (paralleling those of a big city's daily) are student managed and lend similar experience. In a word, the Villanot-an substitutes for a school of journalism on the Main Line campus. In order to put the eight-page edition on the street” a week's work is required. As soon as one number appears on Tuesday, assignments for the next arc posted. Thereupon, reporters delve into every possible crevice for news and continue to submit their efforts for publication until the Friday deadline. Over the week-end the editorial board polishes the raw material, performs the technical Musts of make-up and editing, and prepares for a Monday's session at the printer's. Tuesday the cycle begins anew. For those who love the smell of printer's ink it is an enjoyable job—lots of work but with many benefits, too, in contacts made and experience gained. While Villanova's weekly newspaper has a circula- tion of 3500 copies, it is naturally the undergraduates who arc the most avid readers of it. Their rush for the paper, their critical comments, and desire to have their pictures and names appear in it, attest to the established fact that Tuesday's lunch would not be the same without the Vilkmovan. The production line leading to the finished Villanovan” is a mighty busy one. In the central photo here one of the first stages is seen. The reporters punch out their copy with an eye to winning another journalistic award to add to the collection behind them. On the left, Tuesday's lunch line forgets food for the Villanovan,” while the circulation staff on the right prepares to post the paper to its J OOO-odd sub- scribers, lest they forget.

Of recent year the Engineer’s motto, as regards date of pub- lication, has been, better late than never. On all publications, it falls to the lot of the freshmen members to perforin the more menial tasks of typing and clerical work. These four workers on the Engineer are no exception to the rule. IN CONFORMITY with a trend, the Villanova I Engineer this year adopted a new editorial policy which places emphasis on striking pictures and brief informative captions. Seeking a method which would make the publication less technical and more appealing to the average student, Father Vrana, moderator, con- ccived the idea of an edition which would be primarily pictorial. Engineering subjects are still featured in addition to such extra-academic subjects as sports and alumni news, but the stories are for the most part in pictures rather than words. In addition to making the book more attractive and interesting, the new program eliminates the prob- lem of obtaining suitable written copy. Since the Engineer is produced solely by the efforts of the engineering students, too much difficulty was experi- enced in finding time for the lengthy research re- quired for an adequate treatment of the subjects considered. The magazine appears monthly; staff changes arc made in January to allow for the gradual initiation of i he new members. Editor-in-chief of the 1959-40 issues was Charles J. Schafer; those assisting him included Joseph Norton, Walter LaPorte, Francis Mambretti, and Donald Klein. Oue Hundred Sixty-eight MENDEL BULLETIN STAFF BOARD OF EDITORS STAFF M. Eugene Eichman.

Gambescia John F. McGee As moderator of the Mendel Bulletin, Father Dougherty directs the literary in addition to the academic pursuits of his science students. II AKING its appearance each scholastic quarter, the ill Mendel Bulletin represents the Science Schcxil among Villanova publications. Named for Father Gregor Mendel, the eminent Augustinian Geneticist, the magazine provides Science students with an opportunity for literary expression in their own field. Individual experiments, theses, and biographies of noteworthy scientists make up the bulk of the material, but popular appeal is added by etchings, cartoons, and an understandable style that attempts to eliminate scientific dryness. Scientific accuracy, Kith in thinking and in writing, is stressed. The popularity of the publication is increased by the fact that not only the staff members, but any Science student, may contribute to its pages. It is an added incentive to advanced research work for the student to know that his findings may receive public recognition in this way. The progress which the Mendel Bulletin has made during its thirteen years of existence is due largely to the personality and efforts of its moderator. Father Dougherty. Headquarters for the Mendel Bul- letin are in Fr. Dougherty's office where the staff members gather in their spare time to discuss editorial policies. Seated at the table making plans for their final issue of the pres- ent school term are: Eugene Eichman, editor, and Kenney, Goodman, Nel- son, Camarda, Gigliotti, and Ciatteo contributing to the discussion.

Pointed, pertinent, well chosen remarks serve to stimulate thought. Each issue finds expressed some- thing new, new in the sense that good and wholesome thoughts can never grow old. Non-resident students find it a particularly effective means of contact with their spiritual director because they do not attend daily chapel. The helpfulness of the publication can be best judged by the hopeful expectancy which precedes each issue. One Hundred Seventy Tint Row: Gray, Slack, Monroe, H.

Known as the Sanctuary Society, these men serve Mass and Benediction in accordance with prearranged schedules, take care of hymn cards, sell religious articles during retreats, and take up the Mission collection at the Student Mass on Sunday. The smooth functioning of the Society depends mostly upon the Secretary. It is he who keeps the membership roll, makes all appointments, and notifies each member when his turn is due. Tradi- tionally given to a Sophomore, the office was this year capably filled by Charles Callahan.

The desire for self assertion among his fellow's seems to be a part of every college man. Beta Gamma, Villanova’s debating society, refines and develops this urge, and transforms it into a thing of utmost value to the individual. For. the ability to think quickly and to express his thoughts clearly is of importance not only to the future lawyer or politician, but to the man in every walk of life. The debate schedule for 1940-41, one of the busiest in the society's history, provided ample opportunity for the development of this talent. With Father Robert M. Sullivan, O.S.A. as moderator and Thomas J. M«x re as president and manager, members of the squad of nine participated in a total of twenty-four debates, of which ten were held at home. Some of these were conducted according to the Oregon style, while others were orthodox; in addition, four radio debates were held. Teams made five overnight tours, and several shorter trips to nearby colleges. For the first time, Villanova was a member of the Philadelphia Forensic League. This automatically placed on the schedule critic- ally judged debates with Temple, Drexel, St. Joseph’s, University of Pennsylvania Evening School and the Charles Morris Price Forum. Interested audiences ranging from Immaculata's enthusi- astic two hundred to a scattered few (when there happened to be a home basketball game) always participated in round table discussions held after the debates. Mi� Marjorie Cooney, from Immaculata, talk in favor of Western Hemisphere alliance, a topic used in many college debates this year. The proposition was defined in various ways by the different debater u� ing it. Sealed: Satenstcin, McManus, Decry. Bonner. DeSimone. Walsh. Standing: Gar arella, Coll, Young, Conway, I.affan, Carbine, Connelly. Everywhere, of recent years, student interest in de- bating has been falling off. Those held with girls’ col- leges, however, as this picture indicates, have suffered from no lack of attendance. Early in the year, a program of intra-squad debates was worked out in preparation for the extensive activities to come. Members formed teams, held debates on various subjects, and then had their speeches criticised by Father Sullivan and by one another. When the round of inter- collegiate debates was begun, the notes, references and other material used by each group of debaters were placed on file for future use by the others. Upon this solid groundwork the debates were based. But there always was that last mad dash to the library, a hasty consultation of notes, before the final: “Mr. Chair- man, worthy opponents SCHEDULE Team Place St. Joseph's...................................Atlantic City •Price Foruin ...................................Philadelphia •Penn Evening............................................Home •Temple ...............................................Temple •Drcxel .................................................Home University of Pennsylvania .....................Station WF1L Swarthmorc ................................

In their familiar blue and white military dress uniforms the bandmen did their part to add that color and variety which have become a traditional feature of college football games. Under the direction of Mr. Teel, who was as- sisted by the ingenuity of individual band members, an unusual variety of half-time formations were worked out for greeting the visiting teams. In keep- ing with the tenor of the times, marches formed the greater part of the catalog of musical selections, although a few popular numbers were featured from time to time.

Her forty-two harmonizing voices provided splendid melody for many a music lover. The Reverend Ralph J. Handran, O.S.A., modera- tor and conductor, was chiefly responsible for the acquisition of an extensive repertoire which ranged from Brahms and Beethoven to Cole Porter. Public appearances were preceded by an extensive program of preparation. Tryouts initiated the weekly practice sessions directed in particular towards acquir- ing the ability to read music properly and a mastering of the intricacies of harmony in voice. Early commencement of rehearsals provided ample opportunity for attaining the two-fold goal of per- fection and variety which the organization sought in the numerous concerts given throughout the year. Sincere endeavor and inspired direction produced at last the finished product and blended the individual merits of chorus, quartet, and soloists into a com- posite, accomplished whole. The Society made its first appearance in combina- tion with the Rosemont College Chorus early in De- cember. This annual Concert, which included the melodious waltzes of Johann Straus, the intricate com- positions of Beethoven, and Palestrina's flowing polyph- ony, won the enthusiastic acclaim of many well-known music critics. The symmetrically arranged group in evening dress, softened by multi-colored spotlights, presented a picture which will not soon be forgotten. Outside engagements, in neighboring colleges and elsewhere, further added lustre to the Society's reputa- tion. Most distant of these was one presented in the latter part of April at Staten Island, New York, before the students of Notre Dame College. President William Appel, Vice-president Hugh Boyle, and Secretary Gerard Bclz were instrumental in carrying out the multiple duties involved in calling meetings, keeping attendance records, taking care of music, holding tryouts, and arranging for engagements One Hundred Seventy-six ROSEMONT GLEE CLUB Opposite Page: Third Row (Back), I.cfl to Right: Claire Kelley, Mary Rita Wiegand, Helen Ray, Ruth Mannion, Mary Flynn, Honey Rice, Edith Mozer, Anne .Morse, Pat Schwab, Mary Beth Skidd, Felice Kerrigan, Jacqueline Mclnerney, Barbara Casey, Gertrude O’Connel, Grace Leonard, Betty Byrne, Mary Ann Hannigan, Mary Louise Leahy, Eleanor Jane McCarthy.

Father Handran, the conducting direc- tor, can be credited with some clever strategy in get- ing the instrumentalists to practice. In preparation for the early Spring combined concert with girl players from Immaculata College, joint rehearsals were held weekly on the campus. This proved a great boon to attendance, the fellows being always on time and par- ticularly well groomed. The finished concert was a tribute to the ability of the members, and was very well received. It was decided to have the band play again at Open House in conjunction with the Junior Week activities.

II rTHIS past year was an important one in the history | of Belle Masque, perhaps the most important since the year of its beginning. The group was enlarged, and officers were appointed—James Donovan, Presi- dent, and John McGovern, Vice-President. As a requirement for membership, all interested students were asked to take part in some phase of the Drarn- ateurs Reception. This Reception, a program of student- directed one act plays, was used by Mr. Anthony Fraync, director of Belle Masque, to determine the capabilities of prospective members. The plays, di- rected by Frank Buckley, John McGovern, and Andrew Melton, uncovered much talent and stimulated much interest among the students. The proceeds of the Reception were used for a smoker, to induct Father Francis X. Boyle as moderator, who replaced Father Robert Sullivan, whose added duties as co-moderator of this annual prevented his continuing in his old capactiy. The showing of movies of past performances made the affair at once social and in- formative. The climax of the year's activities was the Belle Masque dinner. All who attended the gathering were ! satisfied with a full year's work well done. We can only hope for as successful a season next year. Frank Buckley calls for another practice of his show, but his directive tirades sticceed in catching only the attention of Jim Stack and John Burke.

The intriguing situation of the German consul being protected by Officer Moe Finklestcin was made even more interesting by careful injections of cynicism and satire. The involved international circumstances were treated lightly, hut not so lightly that they appeared unimportant. The play was a marvelous example of Miss Booth's technique. Two newcomers to the organization, Walter Smith and George Szucs, did remarkably well in their re- spective roles of consul and newspaper reporter. Vet- erans Bob McIntyre and Edward Eichman turned in exceptional performances as the American Feuhrer and the consul's secretary. James F. Donovan and Frank Buckley have done so well in past plays that their typically outstanding performances were taken for granted. The feminine roles were played by Misses Katherine Haley and Ellen McOwen, of Rosc- mont College. One Hundred Eighty Max, the Consul secretary, attempts to strangle his superior, but Otto Hoerst, the American Fuehrer, intervenes. Baumer had threatened to expose his secretary’s non-Aryan ancestry, leading to a heated quarrel between the two. Bob Dooley and his crew of carpenters, painters, and inen-of-all-work spent many hours like this. The set in its entirety was con- structed by these men; the only machine used was the electric saw shown here. No scene shifting was entailed in the staging of Margin for Error, but instead many weeks of work by the stage crew building this stationary set, which represented the interior of the Consul’s library. Many favorable comments were received on the finished job. The play itself, depending mainly on characterization, was a particularly difficult one for amateur actors. In making it a success, the cast, shown above, were a credit to Mr. Frayne’s casting and directing ability. Robert Dooley and his stage crew created a superb set. which satisfied even the expectations of Mr. An- thony Frayne, director. As Mr. Dooley made it beautiful, as Mr. Frayne made it well-acted, so Joseph McCabe and the business staff made it efficient. The audience was divided into two groups: Those who had seen past shows, and those who had never attended a Belle Masque production. The first group left contented, having gotten what they had expected. The second group left awed and enthusiastic, having gotten what they had hoped for. Sealed: Dooley, Burke.

Bill Way and Dick Monsacrt show how it’s done. Chairman Gordon Brosmer lets Bob Chester and the committee take over while he enjoys the fruits of his labors. At the present moment he doesn't appear too dissatisfied with life. M USIC, sweet and swing ... a magnificent roof garden setting, rivalling Hollywood's finest creations ... a glamorous queen and her glittering court . . . entertainers galore . . . happy dancing couples . . . the Junior Prom. Will Bradley's hand played the music; some sort of magic transformed the Field House into a roof garden; beauteous Gloria Spatola reigned as queen in regal pomp and splendor; from the land of Radio came the entertainers; and Villanova provided the happy couples. All too quickly the pleasant hours passed for the frolicking Villanovans and their dates, who, dancing to the compelling rhythms of the Kind, highlighted by Will Bradley's trombone and Freddy Slack's piano, laughed at the antics of drummer boy Ray McKinley, or snatched quiet moments in the shadows by the para- pet. Soon the closing theme heralded the end of Queen Gloria's reign; the laughing crowd drifted from the scene, taking with them the happy memories of a glorious evening, and the roof garden became once more the familiar Field House. Our thanks for a great time and a store of pleasant memories to John Parson, Ernie Klappcnkich, and all the committee. Pictured above is Bill Howlett wowing his date at the Junior Prom. Bill quickly learned that running class function requires a different technique than running a football. John Parson, energetic Prom chairman, and his date, sit one out with Professor and Mrs. Schaefer, while Vince Gordon, Dinner Dance Chairman, tell his companion about plans for the following night.

Tony Anderson, Bill’s roommate, is on Father McGuire’s left, with his back to the camera. Tony was accompanied by Miss Gloria Spatola who was chosen as Villanova’s Junior Prom Queen. Father Sullivan, Junior Class moderator, seems gratified with the crowd and with the feeling of a difficult, but inter- esting job, completed. Will Bradley, himself a topnotch trombonist, directed the evening’s festivities. Hay McKinley, drummer par excellence, is shown in one of his in the groove” poses. Lynn Gardner, vocalist with Will Bradley, flashes one of her ever ready smiles. Bradley was heralded as a leader of the Boogie Woogic style, but the section of the crowd below reveals that the sweet” was mixed with the swing” (in very small doses). SOPH COTILLION With the largest attendance in its history, the Sopho- more Cotillion opened the Social year under the direction of a committee headed by Jim Walsh. Attractive decorations, the improved Villanovans and the hopeful expectancy of the frosh all contributed toward making the affair an undreamed of success. Although freshmen stags are permitted, none were to be seen due to the energy of the committee and the cooperation of neighboring girls colleges. L. K. D. DANCE Scalpels, microscopes and lab coats were put away early on the afternoon of October 18 to allow time for the usual sterilizing and polishing prior to a dance. In a few hours, an atmosphere reeking of formaldehyde was exchanged by one subtly permeated with Eau de Cologne and Evening in Paris. Future doctors limbered up to perform not surgical but terpsichorean operations, assisted by the indispensable I, k. I). ill DHL Hill'S feminine dance-room technicians. Music therapy by the Villanovans added the artistic touch and the week end following allowed ample time for a rest cure. OWL HOP Heat generated by several hundred moving bodies gliding with a minimum of friction about the plane surface of the field house floor was counteracted by the coolness of the evening at the annual engineers escapade. Theories of mechanics and physics were verified by the gyrations comprising the more popular dance steps. On this occasion, drawing a crowd was of more importance to the committee than a project in descriptive geometry. No longer an experiment, the Owl Hop is a catalyst serving to insure the social development of these most specialized of Villanova students. The strains of Good Night Ladies marked the completion of the customary schedule of fall dances. In addition to dancing, three traditional practices must be observed. The first is paying for the essential ticket of admittance. Next, the program just has to be had for noting dance exchanges and for a souvenir. During intermission cokes in the Blue Room arc the thing, and Tony Sacchetti, John McGovern with Jim Forkin observe the custom with their dates. One Hundred Eighty-six Informality and fraternal spirit — keynote Villanova’s series of fall dances. Initial social event of the year i the Sophomore Cotillion, which serves to whet the student’s social appetite. The dance is sponsored and conducted by the sophomore class, for two primary reasons: to Rive the class some workinR capital, and to introduce the froth to college life. The other dances in the Fall series are given by the several campus fraternities. Above: Dave Morse and friend enjoying the I.KD dance which he directed; Jim Forkin and date; and Jim Walsh, chairman of the Soph Cotillion, talking to his sister. The Villanovans, student or gani ed orchestra, provided easily dnneeabic rhythms for all the in- formal dances, from the Soph Cotillon to the Blazer Ball. Both smooth sweet and throbbing swing are in the books of this popular group. A NOVA TRAILING THE FIIIITI’ll,I,. THE COACHES Possessor of a radiant personality equaled by few men, Villanova’s Di- rector of Intercollegiate Athletics and head football coach, Maurice Clip- per Smith, has admittedly compiled an enviable record in his profession. However, it is not merely his coach- ing ability that has endeared the Clipper to all Villanova. Friendly and easily accessible to all. Smith is a counterpart of his great teacher, Knute Rockne. The true love he expresses for all that is Villanova has been re- turned time and time again in the ex- pcssion of- admiration by his fans and pupils. The Class of ‘41 salutes you, Clipper, and considers itself most fortunate in having known you. Front Row: Bchot, Piscionc, Jagod inski, Morgan. Basca, Danik, Kupecki, Bykcwicz, Smith, Chaplar.

C. team from Philadelphia in the sport's inaugural game. Football in those days was a far cry from the colorful, dazzling spectacle it is today. Crowds were slim and those hardy enough to follow the team faithfully usually gathered behind the offensive team for a first hand view of the proceedings. It was not at all unusual for the Wildcats to possess the ball at mid-field with the spectators not fifteen yards behind them in the center of the gridiron. From this unglamorous beginning football took a toehold on Villanova interest and before many years had flown by it had displaced baseball as the college's leading sport. Usual opponents of the Wildcats in the first decade included Ford ham, Pennsylvania, Navy, Manhattan, Catholic U. and others.

Villanova's football coaching stalf is often referred to as Clipper and the Vince,” with the Vince mean- ing Vincent J. McNally, Philadelphia born product of Notre Dame. Such reference is made because of the close association between Smith and Mc- Nally, which has made their relation- ship more of a team than the usual boss and assistant” combination. McNally is the silent half of the partnership, and due to his reticence it is necessary to know him in order to gain proper appreciation of his qualities. A former All-American at Notre Dame, Vince has turned down numerous attractive offer from large schools, preferring to remain with Villanova and the Clipper.” The past year saw a Villanova team that failed to uphold the winning traditions of its immediate predecessors. Yet it cannot be said that the team was a disappointment to those acquainted with the situation. Graduation had taken a heavy toll in experienced material and Coach Smith was left with a host of sophomoric material as the team’s nucleus. Nick Basca, a sensation since his first days at Villa- nova, was the lone fully experienced veteran, and he was backed by several juniors possessing a quantity of raw ability but deficient in experience under fire. So it was that miracles were not expected of Clipper and the Vince” by pre-season observers. V' -.ov, B yior V,II nov9 0 ° roit V s ov, 33 V,II no 0 r � plc V,,l o va - 6 14 13 r� TIIKV'IIIi OFF!

C. had thrown a scare into Villanova last night at Shibc Park by scoring a touchdown early in the first period, the Wildcats became very wild indeed and swarmed all over the outclassed cadets for eight touch- downs to win, 5J-I4. Fifteen thousand spectators were impressed by the all-around play of Clipper Smith's pupils after the ’Cats came to life following an unsteady start. Perry Lewis, Philadelphia Inquirer. I SATURDAY evening in October sets the background for Villanova s nocturnal debut in the world of football for 1940. Pennsylvania Military Colleges gallant Cadets from Chester, Pa. furnishes the opening test for “Clipper Smith’s men in Blue and surprises fifteen thousand fans by tossing a touchdown pass early in the game. Little P. M. C. leads the mighty Wildcat! But the lead is not for long as the Blue and White power starts to mow down weaker opposition and before long Villanova is the possessor of a wide lead despite the addition of another P. M. C. touchdown. The final score is 53-14—impressive as far as figures go but not to “Clipper,” “Vince, and “Doc ! Power is certainly an outstanding attribute of this 1940 edition, but that “certain something, possessed by Villanova squads of the past, is missing. Those looking for a top-ranking season seem doomed to disappointment. The Wildcats of 1940 have a long, hard trail to traverse before the final whistle blows. All the ingenuity of Smith and McNally will he called upon to keep the team from slipping to the wry depths. One Hundred N� nrfy-two HIGHLIGHTS I ED by Nick Basca and his sophomore substitute, Stan Eusko, the 'Cats j turn their second appearance of the young season into a 28-0 rout of the visitors from Florida University. A hard running, deadly punting, close battle is turned into a one-sided orgy in favor of the clicking 'Cats. Soph Steve Pritko, reserve end, picks the chilly evening for a startling individual performance and personally escorts twelve points into the Villa- nova score account—one by the receipt of a pass and number two by the thrilling process of snaring a loose 'Gator lateral. Sal Rosato and George Smith, two more sophomores, likewise inscribe their names in the touch- down column during the proceedings. Despite individual performances it is, however, a team victory, as every Villanova representative does his part well in subjugating the not-to-be-underrated foe from the everglades. Particularly is this fact apparent when the solo performances of some of the Florida lads is noted. Boasting an end, a tackle, and a guard, any of whom would find a welcome spot on any man’s football team the Southerners keep Villanova on its toes throughout the evening and it is only topnotch football by the Blue that makes the resultant rout any kind of a possibility. One unfortunate note is struck into the evening through the loss of the senior and lone experienced fullback, Pete Yankauskas, by a vicious leg injury. Philadelphia. Pa.. Oct. II—Villa- nova' stylish football team gave Flor- ida and artistic drubbing, 28-0, before 2J,000 in Shibr Park tonight. The Wildcats used the forward pass as their principal weapon, scoring two touchdowns and setting up another with smartly executed pass plays. Throughout the game Villanova outslicked and outmaneuvered the embattled enemy from the Palmetto belt, never giving the visitors a chance to figure in the game. Stanley Woodward, New York Herald-Tribune. to Tin; tilIIIII IN III! • • • HIGHLIGHTS San Antonio, Texat, Oct. i9.—Vil- lanova's golden dreams of football empire for 1940 were smashed into gray bits here tonight, as a tough Baylor University forward line handed the Wildcats something to remember the Alamo Stadium by, a 7-0 defeat. Slamming back no less than five Main Line first-half scoring threats with the same uncompromising effi- ciency their ancestors displayed in putting the business to an invader, the Texans came back to batter sixty yards to a last period touchdown and to take the well-known marbles. A crowd of 15,000 saw the game. Jim Gallagher, Philadelphia Record. Above: Assistant manager Lou Block helps Nick Basca freshen up a bit after Eusko took over Nick's back field duties in the second quarter. Basca played very little against Baylor, being somewhat ineffective, due to injuries. His absence hurt the 'Cats severely, especially when repeated scoring threats were halted in the first half. SAN ANTONIO, Texas, center of the great southwest and home of the famed Texas gridiron razzle-dazzlers is the setting for Villa- nova's first foreign engagement of the 'forty season. Texas hospi- tality is not all that it is cracked up to he despite the fact that the town of San Antonio, rabid Baylor hackers, welcomes the Wildcats in brilliant fashion: hut Baylor's Nattering Bruins refuse to he hospitable enough to let a hall game slip from their grasp and despite Villanova's frequent trips to Bruin territory the southwesterners refuse to budge when in danger and after slipping over a disputed touchdown late in the game they send Villanova hack home with the toast of the town and a 7-0 defeat ringing in its ears . . . the third Villanova defeat in four years, hut with that ponderous schedule ahead others seem to he in sight. Upon his arrival in Philadelphia Smith admits that much must he done; evidence has shown that the Wildcats lack the polish to make their raw ability effective. The acquisition of such polish doesn't seem possible in a single season. Should the ‘Cats build for the future? Left: Subs and regulars, some going in and some coming out, gather around during a lull in the game. Coach Smith believes firmly in quick substitutions when a player is not doing his best. He contends that a player not playing inspired football belongs on the bench. mi� ! HIGHLIGHTS Above: Quarterback Ton� Morgan is hustled to the ground by Detroit defenders in the shadow of his own goal despite attempts at aid by Joe Behot. Although Villanova was completely outplayed by the Detroit powerhouse they were never outdistanced and a few breaks the right way would have meant a Villanova win. Two Basca passes were earmarked for scores, but both were dropped in the open field. I SUNDAY afternoon in Shibe Park, with the largest crowd ever to 1 witness a Villanova game in attendance, is the setting for Villanova'$ II second defeat of the campaign as a powerful invader from Motor City, the famed University of Detroit Titans, meets the Blue for the tenth con- secutive year and for the first time in five years merges with the spoils of victory safely tucked away beneath a 10-0 score. A1 Ghesquierc and his Detroit aggregation of two “interchangeable teams spend an afternoon smashing records as the crushed 'Cats fail to emerge from a perplexing lethargy. It's the first time a Villanova team has lost two successive games since 1954 . . . and the first home game lost since 1954 . . . and the first defeat ever incurred in Shibe Park ... but all is not yet lost, and Villanova's Clipper Smith digs in to rebuild the ruins of his football forces . . . Can it be done? is the campus question. Campus folk ask the question. Clipper Smith answers by digging in and gathering his Wildcats together. Great teams have been moulded by this man Smith. Some will claim that he did so only with great material. That this year's material doesn't possess this attribute is evident, so it is with expectation that all look to the Clipper. What can the “miracle man of Villanova do now? Can he rebuild from ruins? And the Clipper just smiles . . . Philadelphia, Oet. 28,—Gloomy Gu Dorais, rarely known to smile, was in high glee as he left Philadel- phia last night after bowling over Clipper Smith for the first time in his coaching career. Detroit's 10-0 victory over Vil- nova at Shibe Park was a keen dis- appointment to Clipper and Vince McNally but the former admitted. They certainly pinned our ears back.” A1 Ghesquiere’s all-around play and two kicks, one a 11-yard field goal by substitute end Frank Hayes and a blocked punt, which led up to the only touchdown, just about ruined the Main Liners. Ross E. Kauffman, Evening Bulletin. Above: A little mix-up with Rosato carry- ing for Villanova. His aide in trying to ward off Detroiters is Bill Piscione. Detroit Uni- versity is a venerable Villanova foe and an- nually attracts a large crowd both here and in Detroit. In 1915 the teams met twice, once in each city, and each won one game. HIGHLIGHTS Philadelphia, Pa., Nov. 2.—Villa- nova’s struggle to crawl from the depths of the Detroit defeat moved more than a few notches upward last night as Kansas University was trimmed right handily at Shibe Park, 33-7. Performing before 14,890 shiver- ing fans and under a steady rain that handicapped the running and made ball-handling hazardous, the Wild- cats exploded with the first indication of offensive strength this season. Tommy Lovett, Philadelphia Ledger. Above: Mr. Rosato makes the grade! Sal is a sophomore and was rushed in as regular fullback after Pete Yankauskas was injured in the Florida game. The above touchdown was one of several made by Rosato during the season. He is a hard-hitting, pile-driving type of fullback, hard to stop and an all-around terror on the offense. 1 RENAISSANCE occurs under the guiding hand of the “Clipper I and the 'Cats find new life against Kansas University, Big Six Conference power, to pluck the Jayhawk’s feathers quite con- clusively by a 33-7 score . . . with eighteen first downs and four hundred and thirty-nine yards racked up in the statistics columns the superiority of the Blue can scarcely he doubted . . . Nick Basca, bearing up under injuries and playing inspired football as only an All-American can play it leads the way again as he personally accounts for two touchdowns and three extra points and is respon- sible for a huge percentage of the Wildcat's advances. Is there any wonder that Villanova supporters who haven't had a chance to cheer in several long weeks, are overjoyed at the new deal? The throng cheers wildly at “the kids who came back'' and applaud especially the work of Basca, center Ed Korisky, end Stan Stress, who made good on a slick end-around play to net one of the Villanova scores, Paul Stenn at tackle, and several others who performed yeoman work in the conquest. Right: Clipper greets Ed Collins as the latter leaves the ball game after a sterling performance. Smith never fails to congratulate a player leaving the field and immediately takes him into a conference to explain why he left. Collins was one of the outstanding linemen of the season as evidenced by his unanimous selection on All-Eastern elevens and recognition on All-American selections. MANHATTAN Belo� : Sieve Prilko, number twelve, rushes in to aid his teammate in capturing a Basca pass. Pritko's help was unnecessary, however, for the pass was caught despite the opposition of two Manhattan men. HIGHLIGHTS • New York, N. Y., Nov. 17.— Stop Nick Basca had been Manhattan's rallying cry all week, but the green- shirted local operatives couldn't make the action support the words yester- day. For the fully sixty minutes and the third year in a row this 165-pound Villanova halfback was the fly in the Riverdalr eleven’s ointment and the triple-pronged instrument in the Blue and White’s 13-6 triumph over the Jaspers at the Polo Grounds before a crowd of 10,000. f 1 OTHAM'S massive grey towers overlook the scene of what is to he ll Villanova s last triumphant appearance of the ‘forty season. The huge Polo Grounds sets the stage and frigid cold grips the area in un- yielding talons, hut Nick Basca and his mates ignore everything in getting down to the joh of winning this, the “must game of the season. Man- hattan's powerful Jaspers are the opponents in the annual tilt that grips even cold Father Knickerbocker in the passion of tradition. Despite Villanova‘s valiant stands, the Manhattans, led hy a huge Pole, Johnny Sapulski, draw first blood and jump to what appears to he a very comfortable 6-0 lead, for Villanova seems to be going nowhere fast. But Basca, as usual, is not to be thwarted, and in the second period he sizzles as no man has sizzled before in the metropolis. Early in the second session Nick hurls a lengthy and amazingly accurate pass to Lindy Kolenda in the end zone to tie the score and a moment later the extra point makes it 7-6 with the score heavy on the right side. Steve Pritko's nifty catch of another Basca barrage later in the same period makes it 13-6 and Villanova has again conquered New York! Toasted by New York's greats, including Villanova's “adopted alum- nus,” Major Bowes, the Wildcats at last feel the exhultation of merited victory. Perhaps this is the turning point all have awaited. Below: Villanova men close in on an enemy ball-carrier. Although his interference is primed the carrier didn't get very far. Stress (24), Nieman (68), and Murray (27) have furnished Villanova with an impregnable defense for the play. Stress made the tackle after Nieman and Murray smashed the inter- ference. The Wildcats’ defense was fairly good all season but the few slips of inexperience created disaster. Most of the linemen are back next year with the benefit of earned knowledge. Lewis Funke, New York Timet. ■ . HIGHLIGHTS • Villanovd, Pa., Nov, 12.—Villa- nova’s football supremacy over their beloved brethren from Temple Uni versity came to an abrupt ending last Saturday afternoon as a rejuvenated Owl eleven ran roughshod in their home stadium to a 28 0 conquest of the 'Cats before a crowd of some 20.000 fans. Beginning early in the initial period when the Temple eleven marched straight down the field, met stiff in- terruption on the three-yard line, were hurled back to the thirty, and countered with a thirty-yard field goal from the rather well-educated toe of one Sidney Beshunsky to rack up the first score of the day, the Owls were complete masters of all ceremonies. Temple’s victory was her first over Villanova since 1936 when the then Warner-coached Owls pounded the 'Cats for a 6-0 win. Temple still is very far behind in the thirteen-year series, with Villanova on the winning side eight times and one match hav- ing resulted in a scoreless deadlock. Saturday, however, was definitely all Temple and Temple was definitely all Andy Tomasic. Tomasic, a junior and a serious threat for next fall, was the whole show as he ripped the turf of Temple Stadium for a total indi- vidual gain of 140 yards in addition to completing nine out of ten passes for a total gain of ninety-four yards. He personally scored one touchdown, going over on the first play of the second quarter for the Owls' second score. In addition, one of Andy’s passes directly resulted in a Temple touchdown. Lone ray of Villanova sunshine was end Stan Stress, who played bang-up football all afternoon in making the greater percentage of his team’s tackles and doing a bruising job on the offense. Joe Barnes, The VilldnoYdtt. Above: A host of Temple men gang up on Nick Basca a few yards past the line of scrimmage. Note the white helmet of a Temple player outlining Basca with a halo. Nick was certainly Villanova’s angel all season with sensational play. He played gallantly through the Temple game despite numerous injuries and on leaving he was the recipient of a spontaneous crowd salute, both from Temple and Villanova. Next fall Nick will play big-league” professional ball with the Philadelphia team as the result of accepting one of the most attractive contracts ever advanced. TEMPLE Stadium, scene in former years of outstanding Villanova triumphs, becomes the dismal site of the most heart-rending loss of our 'forty season as the long stymied power of the traditional Broad Street foe becomes unleashed with all the fury of a hurricane upon bewildered Villanova. Andy Tomasic, as sensational a back as any ever to perform in this historic scries, matches his ability with that of Villanova's valiant but injury-ridden Nick Basca. The whole Temple team backs Tomasic in wondrous fashion but the sophomoric Villanova aggregation weakens in the face of a terrific Owl onslaught and darkness falls on a scoreboard reading: Temple 28, Villanova 0. In the true spirit of what on the surface appears to be a bitter, bloody rivalry Villanova players, physically battered and with the tears of defeat streaming down their sweaty faces, extend heartfelt congratulations to their conquerors. Villanova for three previous years had been overwhelming victors and Temple had stood their beating well, though reluctantly. Now it is Villanova s turn to drink of the bitters and they too show the sportsmanship which permeates this natural athletic rivalry. Go out and win and win as conclusively as you can, fight and fight as hard as you can but always remember . . . sportsmanship over all is the code of Villanova- Temple! One Hundred Ninety-eight THE SERIES Above: Temple's Andy Tomasic, whom all Villanova hope never to see again, rip of! another gain against the ’Cats. Tomasic was a terror throughout the game. At left i the Villanova section of the stadium with the band down front. Below is shown the much discussed argument after the referee refused to allow a Villanova touchdown. The ball seemed clearly over and Wildcats were indignant at the decision. This was one of the few time that usually calm Basca became enraged. 1928 Villanova 0 Temple 0 1929 Villanova 15 Temple 0 1930 Villanova 8 Temple 7 1931 Villanova 7 Temple 13 1932 Villanova 7 Temple 0 1933 Villanova 24 Temple 0 1934 Villanova 0 Temple 22 1935 Villanova 21 Temple 14 1936 Villanova 0 Temple 6 1937 Villanova 33 Temple 0 1938 Villanova 20 Temple 7 1939 Villanova 12 Temple 6 1940 Villanova 0 Temple 28 Villanova Won 8, Lost 4, Tied 1. One Hundred finely nine HIGHLIGHTS Philadelphia, Pa., Nov. 24.—Villa- nova' 1940 gridiron best was plenty good at Shibc Park yesterday, but not, sad to say, quite good enough to de- feat Dtiquesne University’s bruising grid crew. And so the Wildcats from the Main Line took it on the chin 14-10 after four of the roughest and toughest quarters of football seen around Phil- adelphia this fall. But though the ’Cat wasn’t good enough to win it was quite sufficient to give 15,000 Blue and White foot- ball fans their most tingly thrills of the year, as the battling men from the Main Line swarmed up from behind to tie, then go ahead of their favored rivals on the first play of the final quarter. Jim Gallagher, Philadelphia Record. Above: Duquesne’s Phil Aswcsh returns the opening kickoff for a nice yardage pickup. His pursuers are George Smith (26), Nick Basca (60) and Bill Piscione (58). Dtiquesne and Villanova will meet again next fall in Pittsburgh. At present the series stands even with each school having won once. Villanova’s victory was earned in 1922. Below: George Gonda holds the ball over the line to score Duquesne’s winning touchdown—just about! Gonda himself never got over but all that is necessary is to get the ball over. The play was disputed a little but the position of the referee makes it evident that he couldn't miss a correct call. IN THE revival of a short lived rivalry of Villa- nova's early football days the Wildcats meet Duquesne's once-beaten gridmen on the Saturday following the Blue's conquest of Manhattan. De- veloping quickly into a bruising battle of deadly blocks and earth-shaking tackles the game becomes satisfactory even to the most bloodthirsty fan. Neither 'Cat nor “Duke’’ will give an inch in the fray and highly favored Duqucsnc meets great diffi- culty in getting off to an earned 7-0 lead. Villanova, not to be outdone, relics upon classy football and puts the finishing touch upon a downficld onslaught with a Basca to Kolenda touchdown pass to make it 7-7. Gory, hard-hitting periods of play follow until a miraculous field goal from the toe of one Nick Basca makes it 10-7, and a Villanova victory looms on the horizon. But such is not to be, for the fight of the lads from western Pennsylvania equals that of our own Wildcats and with the aid of a scries of straight football gains and one beautiful “Houdini play the “Dukes'' take the lead again by a 14-10 score. A few more unfruitful plays and the Wild- cats have lost another—but honorably! HIGHLIGHTS Montgomery, Ala., Dec. 7.—A fighting Auburn Plainsmen team came front behind here Saturday afternoon to register two last-half touchdowns and turn almost certain defeat into victory. The Tigers defeated Villanova’s Wildcats in an intersectional game, li-10, before slightly more than 8000 fans. It was the combined efforts of the Auburns that enabled them to derail Clipper Smith’s hard-charging in- vaders, but it was no fault of Nick Basca's that the in-and-out Plainsmen marched off with the cake, its filling and icing. O. B. Keeler, Atlanta Journal. Above: Wherever the Wildcats go their fame has preceded them and a great reception is usually prepared. Here senior manager Dick Momaert accepts flowers tendered by girls (pretty nice!) from a high school in the host city. When Dick was accepting the presentation the Villanova players gathered around yelling, atta’boy Dick! . . . speech, speech! WIND of the trail come? for the Wildcats beneath the soggy 111 skies of Alabama and despite the result, an Auburn victory, A the boys in Blue conclusively redeem themselves for their disappointments of the early season. Playing inspired football and beating Auburn in everything except the score—a fact acknowledged by even the most solid southerner—the gridmen themselves are heartbroken: but not so arc their supporters, who have watched a mediocre team become a great team. Nick Basca is the toast of the south in recognition of his great performance and it is very difficult to convince the average Alabama fan that Nick isn't a southerner at heart. Only sad note of the day is the realisation that the darkness settling on Montgomery's Crampton Bowl settles for the last time upon the careers of seven seniors. Valete! Belo� : Joe Yednock, junior halfback and a cousin to Nick Basca receive one of Nick’s passes for the lone Villanova touch- down at Auburn. Yednock, Chief” to his mates, played almost a full game for the ’Cats for the first time. He put on a marvelous exhibition along with Basca and gave indications of holding down a regular post next fall.

The achievement of this year's team entitles it to greater praise, for with a dearth of outstanding material and a glamorous victory record to protect, the men of ‘41 embarked upon a treacherous season with predictions of defeat ringing in their ears. The record shows that the predictions were unheeded.

Similar conquests soon followed as the Blue marched on through Rider, Upsala, Albright, Wittenberg, and Loyola without too great exertion. All were the usual expected early season victories. Worthy of note in the early wins, however, was the fine work of Art Spector and Bill Woods. Both are sophomores and neither was expected to adapt himself to varsity ball. Inexperience soon was overcome by sheer ability as Art and Bill nestled in securely with veterans Paul Nugent and “Chuck Yund. Bob Kelty, another soph, also fitted into the ensemble smoothly to round out a live that far surpassed pre-season expectations. Seventh victory for the Wildcats came by a 41-31 score over Niagara University, previously unbeaten conquerors of C. C. N Y. Precision-like play by the Wildcats—unequaled previously in the season—stymied the Niagara attack and offensive work by Co-Cap- tains Nugent and Yund kept the Blue safely ahead.

Members of the Big Six Conference and rated highly, State failed to figure in any point in losing, 51-34. HIGHLIGHTS • Villanova’s firm officially sanctioned basketball team made its debut in 1921 when a Mike Saxe coached ag- gregation met and defeated Catholic University. This official squad super- seded its unsanctioned predecessors which had met some success in a few meetings with similar organizations of other colleges. Navy dealt the 'Cats their first defeat in the fourth game of the opening season after the Villanovans had marched victorious through Temple. St. Joseph’s and the afore- mentioned Catholic U. Incidentally St. Joe and Temple were defeated twice during the ’21 season. Seton Hall College, conquerors of the 'Cats in '41, turned the same trick in 1921. They arc the only '21 op- ponent still on the schedule. Since Mike Saxe, there have been only three other Blue coaches for bas- ketball. Johnny Rube Cashman suc- ceeded Saxe, and in turn was suc- ceeded by Doc” Jacobs. Present coach Al Severance took over in 1936, when pressure of freshman football and baseball made the job impossible for Doc.” Above: Art Spector, soph center, holds tight to the ball as a Kansas State player tries a few football tac- tics to stop the Blue’s mounting score.

Kneeling: John McFadden, Severance, Art Spector, Paul Nugent, Dick Gray, Charles Yund, and Barney McAloon. Detroit University, an outstanding mid-western five, made its first appearance in this section early in January. “Chuck Yund stood out during the night's proceedings and led the 'Cats to a decisive 49-57 win. The victory was Villanova s tenth straight. This win streak was dangerously put on the line shortly after when the Villanovans met Seton Hall, possessor of a long term vic- tory streak extending over two seasons and thirty-odd games. In their home gymnasium, jammed with well over 5000 fans, a new capacity attendance record, Seton Hall quickly capitalized on favor- ing factors and won by a twelve-point margin. Villanovan Bill W(x)d incurred a head injury early in the game and two 'Cats made an early exit on fouls. Idle for approximately two weeks the Blue next met Connecticut University and converted a 27-21 halftime lead into a 40-55 win. Second of the season's three losses was suffered at the hands of Washington and Jefferson College after a thrilling see-saw battle which finally resulted in a one-point victory for W. and J. Pre- viously Wake Forest and Carnegie Tech, had taken their places among the Villanova victims. In the season's finale a former Villa- novan. Jack Stanton, led Loyola of Chicago to a 58-52 win.

Bill Wood and Bob Kelly, other sophs on the varsity five, are equally adept and through sheer ability they overcame the big lack of experience obstacle. All three are bright prospects for the future. They should case the loss of Nugent and Yund this June. Above: A moment's action as Vil- lanova trims Kansas State. The mid- western five was one of several visitors to Villanova’s Field House during the Christmas vacation period. Others included Niagara University, Geneva, and Detroit. Next winter Severance plans an all-star array of opposition for the 'Cats. HIGHLIGHTS • Severance has been by far the most successful of Villanova court coaches. Since his first, the 1936-37, season A! has turned in one of the best eastern records. Under Severance the 'Cats have played 111 games of which 90 were Villanova wins. This five-year coach- ing record is unequaled in the Phila- delphia sector, as are several other Villanova team and individual marks. George Duzminski, greatest of Al’s products, still holds the district in- dividual scoring record, having com- piled 296 points in the 1937-38 season. Not to be outdone by its predeces- sors the most recent Blue five had a comfortable lead in the won and lost records over its district brethren and ranked highly among the state's fives. No outstanding individual was pro- duced this season for the simple rea- son that the team was a unit and attempts at stardom were forsaken in the interests of team success. Seniors on the '41 team included co-captains Yund and Nugent, Ernie Red Murphy, Len Kodenda, and Barney McAloon. Connie O'Leary ha� been Villanova � ace twirler for three leuoni. Thi year he capped a glorious career by pitching the Wildcat to an 8-0 victory over Fordhatn Uni- ver ity. Connie limited the Rams to four hits. H I G H 1.1 G H T S • Baseball is the oldest remaining Villanova sport having this year en- tered its seventy-fifth year of recog- nized intercollegiate existence. In the days of the sport’s beginning the 'Cats were as outstanding as they are today. In those antiquated days it was nothing at all for the ’Cats to win by such scores as 103-9, 86-12, etc. Foes of the early year would not be recognized today, except a few like La Salle, Haverford, Penn, and Drexel. Aged pictures of the early squads show prolific beard and a wide vari- ance in player's age . 1 SLOW windup—the pitch—the swing—and the miss—strike one! “Doc Jacobs presents his 1941 diamond studded Wildcats—the 75th year that a Villanova nine has pranced out on a field to battle the better teams of the East and come into the showers with a record that has made the men of the Main Line envied, respected, and feared the instant America's beloved shout is heard—Play Ball! Two marks are to be carried by the Jacobmcn this year: one is to complete the season with less than one defeat and so break the record of the 1940 squad: number two—beat Fordham's Ed Alex, dubbed the greatest pitcher in collegiate circles by Gotham writers. This team can and should do both, even though it will be a difficult task; Duke, Southern Seaboard champions in 1940, looms large; Boston Gillcgc is always tough, as is Providence; Williams with a homecoming crowd and the greatest pitcher in Purple history wants the bounty that goes with a Wildcat skin. TU’O Hundred Six Firtl row: Calandra, Balniore, Simonson. Rciimeier, Donofjhue, Thoma, Yednock, Casey, Skaf. Second row: Coach Jacobs, Chaplar, O’Leary, Kupccki, Nicholas, Malone, Wood. Howletf, Murphy, Dykes, Bykewicz, Lattanza. “Doc has five men to replace in his line-up—all around players such as Lloyd Rice, Boh Pash, George Flood, Mike Lazorchak and Cliff Choquette. The first four hit respectively .358; .450; .396; .338. Choquette, a little port-sidcr, went unbeaten last season while hanging up three wins. Question mark on the squad roster is the mound staff. Connie Nicholas and Connie O'Leary, brilliant seniors and winners of ten games last Spring, must nurse themselves carefully to approach past performances; Will Howlett, hig righthander, is asking for a starting berth; Bill WcxxJ and Frank Chaplar, sophomore fast ball artists, must be given attention and will make upperclassmen hustle; Jim Lattanza and Joe Malone will work relief. Rifllit: Johnny Murphy, one of three vanity catcher , is ready to take O’Leary’s toss. Murphy alternates be- hind the bat with Al Skaf and Ted Bykewicz. Murphy and Skaf are seniors.

In the outfield we find George Balmore a fix- ture in center flanked by Casey in left and either Simonsen or Kupccki in right—a hard hitting, fleetfooted quartet. April 7, Vermont University, winding up a five game Southern trip, stops in at the Main Line. A beautiful day a large crowd waits impatiently to see Wildcats go into action—they do not have long to wait. Two walks, a sacrifice, and Dan Casey smashes a single into right center scoring two runs. Connie Nicholas pitches masterful, shutout, two hit ball for six innings and then takes off the pressure and allows two runs. Doc reaches into his bag of baseball savvy and in the clutch, drove in two runs with a neat single.

That the season was still a suc- cessful one is a tribute to the coaching of James “Jumbo Elliott, one-time product of Villanova and holder of several middle-distance records that have held despite the tests of time. Success was by no means a miracle of the mo- ment. Actually it was the result of long, arduous hours of work. Practice is the backbone of track and unfortunately track practice happens to lie the most tiring and inglorious drill period in collegiate sport. Drills begin when school begins and continue every afternoon thereafter until a welcome summer arrives. And even then the cindermcn are expected to work and sweat to keep in correct condition. The product of this work, however, is usually evi- dent and those who worked hardest usually receive the lion's share of the spoils. So it was that when Villanova's untried and somewhat sophomoric mile relay team made its debut in indoor competition at the Seton Hall Invitation Meet at Jersey City, the work of Jim Elliott and his performers was not dis- pleasing. Competition was the cream of the eastern crop and victory was not expected of the Wildcats. That they finished in the money —third place—is a tribute to the men in Blue. A second in the Penn A. C. meet and third places in the New York A. C. and Catholic University meets kept the 'Cats up with the leaders. Tap: Varsity and Frosh runner� lake a few lips from Coach Jumbo ’ Elliott in developing ihe right starling position.

Above: Coach Elliott, with his sprint prides Johnny DiCarlo and Johnny Maher, shows how the coaching business is conducted. Elliott once ran for Villanova and his marks for the quarter and half mile distances still stand as college records. He is an excellent coach, as proven by the remarkable rise in Villanova track fortunes during the past several years, and a 100% Villanova man. The finish of the winter indoor campaign and the coming of fair weather has enabled the ‘Cats to pre- pare adequately for the most comprehensive outdoor program ever offered a Villanova cinder aggregation. A dual meet with the Temple University “arch- enemy” from Philadelphia's Broad Street is the high- light of the coming campaign and will definitely pro- vide the 'Cats with their most severe test. Catholic University and Albright College will also meet Villa- nova in dual tests along with the annual Franklin and Marshall engagement F. if M. is the only hold- over from the 1940 season. The 'Cats arc also en- tered in several open invitation meets, notably the Penn Relays, the Middle Atlantic A. A. meet, and the National A. A. U. affair. Kneeling: DiCarlo, Keefrider. Hooper, Jones, Healy, Carey. Standing: Coach Elliott, Yankauskas, Mauch, Maher, Pholeric, DiPetrillo, Manager Craven. For manpower to face the oncoming campaign Coach Elliott has had to draw heavily upon sopho- more and junior talent, which, though inexperienced, possesses quite a bit of natural ability, and the sched- ule, though imposing, is by no means insurmountable. Nucleus of the squad are four veterans and a trio of outstanding sophomores. The former includes Pete Yankauskas, Bill Hooper, Bud Jones, and Bill Carey. The sophomore leaders are Johnny DiCarlo, Harry Keetrider, and Stan Nazian. DiCarlo is a dashman and already holds the Middle Atlantic “220“ crown. Keefrider and Hooper will divide work in the distance runs, from the half-mile to the two mile jaunt. Nazian performs mainly in the hurdles, but is also an able high-jumper. Among the veterans Yankauskas is known for his feat in having smashed the college javelin record and is expected to eclipse his own record this spring. Bill Carey, debonair junior, will take part in the hurdles and dashes, while Bud Jones takes his bows in the high jump. Added to the veterans and outstanding sopho- mores is a host of untried candidates, from whose ranks must come the real backbone of the current team. Two Hundred Eleven ||ESPITE the efforts of Captain Walter Kelley, greatest swimmer to wear the Blue II and White, and his undefeated record, the Wildcat tankmen did not fare as well as they had in former seasons. However, the schedule did not furnish sufficient test of their abilities Difficulties in arranging meets and scheduling them on convenient dates forced the manager to limit the meets and space them far apart. The swimmers competed only three times and were thrice beaten. They opened the season early in January in the home pool against Rider College of Trenton, losing in a close encounter 39-36. Kelley and the Rider captain, Irwin Goodman, vied for honors. Each had two first places and one second place. For six weeks the tankmen practiced under Coach Leahy's tutelage, without the advantage of competition. Then they traveled to Lancaster, Pa., and absorbed a 47-29 beating at the hands of Franklin and Marshall College. The one consolation of the meet was the fine showing made by sophomore breast-stroker, Frank Desmond. In addition to aiding the medley relay team in victory, he won the 200-yard breaststroke in the fast time of 2.42.5 seconds. The time recorded by the medley team of Des- mond, John Maher, and Captain Kelley, 3.12.1 seconds, was one of the best perform- ances of any Wildcat trio. In the final meet with their perennial rivals, the University of Pennsylvania, the Blue and White were outmaneuvered and lost a heartbreakcr 39-36. Kelley again starred. This time he added to his string of records by creating a new mark in the 220. He negotiated the distance in 2.22.5. Walt now has possession of three of the four pool freestyle records. After the dual meet season Kelley continued to represent Villanova in open meets. He placed second in the 50-yard freestyle in the Eastern Intercollegiate Cham- pionships at Annapolis, the outcome of which was debated for fifteen minutes. Two weeks later Captain Kelley splashed his way into the national picture at East Lansing, Michigan. He finished fourth in the finals of the 50” in the National Intercollegiate Championships among such tankmen as Barker and Sharemet of Mich- igan, Prcw and Lumsden of Wayne University, and Johnson of Yale. So ended the college athletic career of one of Villanova s greats. With him went John Pholeric, frccstyler, Tom Moore, breaststroker, Paul Farnsworth, backstroker, and Bob Boudon, diver. With such men gone prospects for next season look none too bright. However, if Green, Rcilley, and Mauch shape up better, they along with Desmond, Koncss, and Maher should form the nucleus of a good club.

Coach Elliot found further strength in the prod- ucts of the annual trial tournament conducted early in April. Bob Casey, Frank Abbott, and freshman sur- prise Bill Walsh earned varsity positions through the posting of low scores in the all-college event. The future was not at all unfavorable. The spacious and beautiful Pennsylvania Country Club was the scene of this season’s golf activities. Located at Fraser, Pa., near Immaculata, this site pro- vided more inducivc facilities for the Villanovans than their former home greens at the course in Radnor. One noticeable result of the change was the large increase in interest on the campus, both from a playing and spec- tator viewpoint. The change also provided an oppor- tunity to keep several opponents on the schedule by removing date difficulties. Only change in the schedule from last year was the signing of Rider College to replace Penn. Tu-o Hundred Fourteen mi tui: 1:0ms Villanova SCHEDULE Opponents 0 Manhattan College 9 Delaware U.

With an ambitious schedule arranged it remains for the team to prove that tennis at Villanova deserves a higher position in the estimation of the College than last year’s record would lead one to conclude. Captain Ed Banagan, only senior on the team, will complete his third year of play under Varsity competi- tion. A fine, steady, seasoned player, Ed will handle the number one spot very nicely. Behind him competi- tion narrows down to six men. “Major Grey, David Daly, and Gerald Belz, juniors and varsity lettermen, will be forced to volley hard if they intend to hold their places against the best crop of sophomores to come up at Villanova in a number of years. George MacFadden, Chet Pajolek and Burt Collins are the three boys to watch—in their hands the success of the season lies. This squad feels that it will win, and such a spirit is half of any match. The schedule includes two new teams, George Wash- ington University and Catholic University. Two Hundred Fifteen Below: Immensely popular Tom Casper, former varsity guard, held the coaching reins this year and guided the team to its most successful season. Casper, who gradu- ated in 1940, won the complete confidence of his pupils at the season's outset and this, coupled with a natural coaching ability, brought about his success. When the one- fifty season was over Tom accepted the posi- tion of physical education instructor and track coach at Roman Catholic High School in Philadelphia. I.ater he also took over the football coaching job at the same school. A local boy, Tom lives in Radnor. OTORIOUSLY unsuccessful seasons since the inauguration of light weight football as a Villanova sport had placed the Wildcats definitely in the also-ran” bracket of the Eastern Intercollegiate League, and there was little that the 1940 team had to look forward to at the beginning of their season last fall. Campus interest had reached the depths and new candidates failed to give any indication of ade- quately filling gaping holes in the squad. No sport ever faced a blacker outlook at Villanova. Eleven days before the opening game cheerful, cherubic Tom Casper, former varsity star, came upon the scene as the lightweights new coach. With nary a glance at the squad Tom astounded all with the assertion, “We're going to be gtxxl.” Some snickered at this, others hid their disbelief. A few knew Tom Casper and believed. So it was that untried and unseasoned the fifties” made their bow against Princeton University and lost. A week later Pennsylvania downed the Blue. The I-told-you-so’s ran rampant. A week later Cornell University fell before the Nattering of a Blue team finally hitting its stride. On succeeding weekends Lafayette and Rutgers met the same fate. Crowning point of the season came in the final game against unbeaten Yale University, virtually a cinch for the league championship. Villanova, now definitely the best team in the loop, changed all this with a conclusive 14-0 victory over the Eli. Tom Casper and his Wildcats had arrived! Proud of her victories Villanova certainly is, but even more proud is she of the Yale comments after the game characterizing the 'Cats as not only the best and hardest-hitting team of the year, but also as the cleanest and most sportsmanlike! The renaissance of lightweight football has succeeded. Villanova in 1940, an expected push-over, will in 1941 reign the favorite!

The season opened with an impressive win over St. Benedict s Prep, a leading eastern eleven. The game was played under arc lights at Newark, N. J., and a huge crowd was present to witness the 7-0 Kitten win. Even more fruitful was the next Frosh venture, another arc light affair. Temple University s crack ’44 eleven provided the party of the second part as the Kittens battled their way to a decisive 20'7 conquest. In the third and final set-to N. Y. U. was trounced, 12-0, in New York on the eve of the varsity game with Manhattan. Individual performances by the frosh personnel provided a preview of future varsity elevens, and the preview was by no means disappointing. Ranking star of the squad was Joe Pczelski, New York Military Academy product of Ray Stoviak a former ’Cat star. Halfback Pczelski provided the spark for Villanova’s wins and is definitely varsity material. Others who caught the eye favorably include Lou DePalo and Bill Sullivan, both ends, Dick Baraldi, a rough-and-tough center and hacks Jack Dzitko, Zyg Zamlynski, and Gabe Mosca.

The Kitten’s fifteen wins of 1940-41 ran the unbeaten streak for freshman to thirty-four straight! Realizing that the average high school five is no match for an outstanding college freshman team. Coach A1 Severance arranged a schedule composed of powerful club fives and the few top school quintets. Even this turned out to be no obstacle to the Kittens. They waded quite easily through such teams as Malvern Prep, Sphas Reserves, Conshohockcn, Lincoln Prep, Albright Frosh, Passon, and a list of others equally imposing. To compile such a record there must be outstanding material. The Kittens of last season had just this, for individually and collectively they garnered the reputation of being the outstanding college freshman team in the East. Such is their ability that they are expected to move en masse into varsity slots next winter. Leading the pack is little “Reds Klotz, as smooth and smart 3 courtman as any that has ever stepped on a Villanova court! Klotz is backed up by a host of stellar stars who are so equally good that picking a definite first five is impossible.

V AR removed from the fanfare of intercollegiate sport r i$ Villanova’s intramural program, one of the most extensive in the nation. Comprising almost every sport from informal, unorganized, touch football sessions to a highly coordinated, professionally-run basketball league. The system this year was under the guidance of moderator Father Dunne. Father Dunne has tem- porarily succeeded Father McKee, energetic reorganizer of the program and its moderator for nine years. Sole requirement for intramural participation is regis- tration as a Villanova student. This broadness of scope makes it possible for every student to take an active part in athletics, with the result that almost every Villanova man is an athlete in some shape or form. Most I M sports are organized on a team basis with the various residence halls and day-hop clubs competing. Compiler of the best records during the year receives due recognition in the form of a beautiful trophy donated by the Villdnormt. For the past several years Austin Hall has taken the laurels over its foes and this year the Firemen seem destined to repeat.

Hampered by poor weather the progress of eliminations was slow, but the eventual outcome was never in doubt. George McFadden, now a varsity mainstay, had advanced to the semifinals in the fall of 1939 and ruled an odds-on-favorite to take the college championship in his second attempt. McFadden, an Austin Hall sophomore, fought his way to his Hall championship through tough competi' tion from Burt Collins, Chet Pajolek, and Duke King. In the quarterfinals of the college play-offs McFadden downed George Szucs, Mendel crownholder, while Will Gagen of Alumni Hall was knocking off Fedigan's Charlie Schaumann. Gagen failed to give McFadden much trouble in the semi-finals and the latter took the Resident Student’s crown by winning, 6-1, 6-2. In the finals McFadden met Bill Carey, dayhop ruler, and again won easily in two sets by identical 6-1 scores. Carey, winner of the C. (s' F. school eliminations, had advanced to the finals by trouncing Art G nnor, Arts dayhop, and Joe Shinners, an Engineer. The annual Golf tourney, scheduled for October, began in that month, but repeated delays due to in- clement weather disheartened the directors so it was decided to defer the event until this spring. Early March snowstorms again deferred activity but in a few weeks the boys finally got underway at the Pennsyl- vania Country Club course. As in the tennis tourney, deciding a winner in the links affair was none too difficult after the results of Bill Carey, dayhop champ, get off a fast serve to Art Connor, shown at extreme right. Carey played in the finals after defeating all the dayhop contenders. In the center is Charley Schatiman, of f-edigan, who was eliminated in the quarter-finals. The eliminations take place within the ranks of dayhops and residents separately, and then the champions of each group play off for the intra-mural crown. ii i ii i ii tih: Above, left: I-M ««ram starts off the annual tourna- ment at the Pennsylvania Country Club. Center: A trio of frosh entrants discuss their game . Right: The puzzle is to find the ball. the first few rounds were turned in. Bill Walsh, a versatile and unheralded Mendel Hall freshman, amazed the veterans with an unusual show of ability and waltzed his way to victory despite the presence of an unusually capable entry list. Third sport on the roster is touch football, which is at its heighth of popularity during the fall months. The sport is purposely unorganized because experience has shown that more find it enjoyable that way. Teams Duffers galore are to be found in the intra-college com- petition. but their presence is balanced by the fact that many a varsity prospect moves into the limelight during the tourney. are of the “pick-up” variety, usually hastily assembled immediately after lunch so that play may be com- pleted before afternoon classes begin. Many games are also played in late afternoon on Mendel and Austin Fields. Engineers seem to take to the sport more than other students but rare is the Villanovan who has not spent at least one afternoon chasing the pigskin. No standings are kept of the respective teams and at least twenty claimants to the college “title” can easily be found.

Above: The crip front tec to cup continues with wading through hazards and pursuit of the ball until finally suc- cess is met on the green. Maybe these frosh will be pros some day. Playing accommodations for the intramuralists are superb at the Pennsylvania Country Club. The course is one of the finest in this district. In addition the boys can use the campus practice course. Basketball is by far the most popular and most hotly-contested for the intramuralists. The past season opened on October 15. much earlier than any varsity five would think of opening, and lasted until March 4th five months of topnotch activity! Father McKee's Austin Hall team started slow but quickly revived after a hot pep injection and slaughtered the rest of the league to win the first half championship. The Firemen won eight games and lost two during the campaign. Lone defeats were suffered at the hands of the two dayhop fives, Mendel and the crack Commerce school aggregation. The latter team took second place with sewn wins stacked high against three losses. Fedigan Hall took third, followed closely by the Mendel Resi- dents. The hapless Mendel Dayhops and Alumnis Grecnies found the going tough and finished in the cellar. Below: The Engineer� scrimmage between classes without bothering to remove their shop coveralls.

A different hue was cast on the second half when a rejuvenated Fedigan Hall five capitalized on upsets throughout the league and swept on to the champion- ship, winning seven and losing three battles. Mendel Residents skyrocketed to the runner-up position, fol- lowed by a fast-slipping Austin representation. C. F.'s 1940 champions fell to pieces, despite the pres- ence of all-veteran material, and finished in fourth place. Again Alumni and the Mendel Days brought up the rear.

Setting out immediately to retain the title they had won in the 1940 playoffs with the C. F. five Fedigan fired its high, hard one in the opener and nosed out Austin, 40-39. The game, one of the most thrilling battles ever waged in Alumni Gym, was close all the way and the final seconds decided Fedi- gan’s triumph.

Austin spent the last half in attempt- ing to overcome the deficit and finally Dan Keating did the trick with a long, looping goal late in the game to tic it up at 34-all. Fedigan took the lead again on Jim Forkin’s foul, only to lose it again as Jack Quinn pulled Austin ahead. Wild and wooly play ensued with Fedigan sinking five more free throws to Austin’s three and thus win with a one-point margin. Keating and Martin brought Austin into the series in the second game by dominating the play for forty minutes to win out, 41-25. The contest was the most one-sided of the series. Fedigan walked off with the crown in the last and rubber game, 39-26, as Austin cracked. Both teams played poor ball and fouls were prolific during the evening. Austin Hall, for the second consecutive year, splashed its way to a decisive victory in the annual swimming meet held early in December, compiling a total of 36 points. Four of last year's promising freshmen stars proved the mainstay of Father McKee’s victorious team as each of these mermen garnered first places in their respective events. They were Bill Naylor, Ed Riley, Frank Desmond, and John Green. INTRA-MURAL BASKETBALL RESULTS Team Austin Won Lost Percentage .650 Fedigan C ci F Mendel R Alumni Mendel D.

The All-Stars played the Freshman team late in the season in a special game as a preliminary to a varsity game at the Field House. Above: The intramural Swim Meet entrants gather for the cameraman. Note the large number of entries. Annually the meet is well-attended and is one of the highlights of the year in intramurals. In most years the varsity team draws heavily upon talent uncovered in the mural meet. After making the varsity a student is barred from further intramural competition in that sport. Bill Naylor copped the opening event when he out- stroked Jim Breen, of Mendel, in the 50-yard free style in 27.4 seconds. One of the most brilliant performances of the eve- ning was the victory of Ed Riley in the 100-yard free style, in the swift time of 1 -.00.8. darken, of Fedigan, placed second in this event, with Schappert, of Alumni, a close third. Frank Desmond butter-{lied his way to an easy victory to retain the title in the event which he won last year. As a member of the varsity team this year “Dcs was a sure winner in the breast stroke and was sent to the Intercollcgiates at Annapolis. So it was no small wonder that he heat Leo Hin, of Austin, and Bill Fenton, of Mendel, easily. The fancy diving crown rested once more on the head of John Green, now a member of the varsity. He com- piled 72 points to give him a 12-point advantage over Bob Boudon, also of Austin. Gildea, of Alumni, was third with 52 points. In the only event not won by Austin, Steve Vogel of Fedigan placed first in the 50-yard backstroke. This enabled Fedigan to take second place in the meet with 13 points. Alumni took third with 7, Mendel fourth with 4, and C. F. fifth with 3 points. . A new pool record was established by John Glccson, Fcdiganite, when he covered 216 feet swimming under water. Like touch football, pool and bowling thrive as intra- mural sports by being left alone. No schedules or re- sults are kept, and no teams arc organised, except in the closed Phi Kappa Pi Engineers' league. Despite this the pool room and bowling alleys are usually crowded from the noon opening hour until closing time. During the past scholastic year the recreation rooms at the Field House have been capably managed by two (Continued on page 235) rr JC1 H Ij U Ij 9 II CATS LIRE Above: An Austin entrant makes good in the dive, one of the most difficult events on the program.

The hall winning this event usually walks (or swims) off with the champion- ship. A short intermission between events while times are checked provides respite for the contestants. No student is allowed to compete unless in good health at time of entry. THE TEMPLE RALLY l|OST spirited of fall campus events is the Pre'Templc III Game decoration contest. Fcdigan this year won the Connelly Plaque, annual award of the affair, by transforming their dormitory into the Fcdigan Music Hall, presenting the Villanova Hit Parade, and amplifying the day's hit recordings during the ccle- hration.

At Villanova, the non-athletic event which best gives vent to this rivalry is the annual Amateur Night. Reminiscent of the days of vaudeville was 1940 s frolic; yet no vaudeville actor ever played to a more critical audience than did the per- formers on this occasion—heckling fellow-col- legians out for a laugh at anyone's expense. Winners of top honors were Austin Hall’s troupe. They presented a wax museum after hours—in which statues of past notables came to life and put on a variety show, complete with dancing and singing. The Commerce men were second with a humorous minstrel show, while Alumni's interpretation of a typically hectic day in their dormitory won third place. Mendel Hall transported its audience to Stone Age days, and earned fourth place by presenting Temple-Villanova rivalry as the cave-men might have seen it. Above: members of Alumni’s troupe presenting their satire dealing with certain of their favorite faculty members. Below: John Parson, announcing the show given by the C. and F. Day-Hops.

Bill Epifanio and Johnny Murphy. Between them they worked out several innovations in the con- duct of the pool and bowling activities. A few tourneys were held during the year when interested students requested them. Capable management by Epifanio and Murphy ran all such activity off smoothly. During the summer previous to this year the bowling alleys were reconditioned, putting them in excellent shape for the current year. Another inv provement has been the availability of pin boys at a small cost to offset the previous complaint due to lack of such service. The Phi Kappa Pi League, closest thing to organized intramural bowling, was organized two years ago by members of the engineering fraternity. Since organiza- tion it has thrived, due partly to excellent management and partly to the highly-aroused interest of the technical men—which in itself is somewhat miraculous. Teams in the league operate under such mysterious and perplexing (to us laymen) names as “S. B. Hams,” 11VII Atom Smashers, Pioneers, Poodelers, et al. Games are played both at the Field House alleys and in Ardmore, due to the large number of bowlers making it impossible to operate at one site. Usually Saturday is the day for competition but furtive practice takes place all week in preparation, for it seems to be quite disgraceful for such high-and mighty aggregations as the “S. B. Hams” to lose to lesser lights. What the Engineers have started seems to be a highlight of the future for next year leagues are planned by Lambda Kappa Delta and Delta Pi Epsilon fraternities. The renowned Marquis of Queensbcrry must cer- tainly have turned over in his grave on the night of Monday, March 3 last. At least he wouldn't have been on speaking terms with Villanova men the next day, for the boys had certainly taken his favorite sport (they call it “racket these days) over the hurdles in a hectic night of action.

Villanova’s Eighth Annual Intramural Boxing show was the official title of the affair, hut “slaughter of the innocents” would have been better for Austin Hall's battling upperclassmen battered their way to a convincing team victory as the defending champions. Father Dunne’s Alumni Hall frosh, met a stiff uppercut that relegated them to third place for the first time in four years. Three years previously Alumni had taken the crown. Individual satellites of the evening included Jim Magee, frosh footballer, and Hank Christman in a bruising draw battle; Fred Kaczinski, winner by a Two Hundred Thirty-six T. K. O. over Con McGinley; Charley Lozowski, who scourged Nat DePetrillo in a private feud ; Bill Fenton, new light heavy king; Paul Dowd, conqueror of Bill Nocco for the latter's first loss in three years; Buzz” Mowen, retainer of the welterweight crown; and Jim Hobbs, who pinned Roy Cacciatore in the lone wrestling match. In addition Logan Phillips and Jack Farad put on a three round farce as a comedy insert in the night's proceedings. Tommy Loughran, Ray Gadsby, and Bill Duffy did the officiating as guests of the night. With the advent of spring hardball takes its place on the intramural schedule, and softball follows as soon as Daylight Saving Time makes it possible to play the games after dinner. Like basketball these sports are on a highly organized basis with schedules drawn up far in advance of the season's opener. The resident halls clash at regular baseball every Sunday morning and ; I Ii II T L Ii I Ii I Ii afternoon, while the softball games are played every evening after chapel. Dayhops do not compete as yet. but attempts arc being made to provide for them next Spring, so that the entire intramural league may func- tion as a unit. Good pitching is often seen, but more often the games turn into healthy slugfests with hits galore. Austin was handicapped this year by the loss of her star hurler, Steve Aiscnbrey, who moved across campus to Fedigan. Aisenbrcy is famed for having pitched a no-hitter in 1940, which was quite a feat in this Sluggers' league.” Panel at left: Softball scenn during intramural contests on Mendel Field.

Slaughter, stand while listening. tf I jrn It RAN DISHING the slogans, “Quid Pro Ouo” and “Something That Will Endure,” |) Villanova's national Alumni body of its own initiative began a drive for a new library last Spring. After appraising the need of such a building on the campus, the Alumni quickly began to move. A decorative committee was appointed, a program adopted, and soliciting by class agents begun. The intention is to raise a minimum of $40,000 to furnish the badly-needed library. All former students of Villanova- somc six thousand individuals—are being contacted by specially appointed agents of their own classes. Contributions may lie made in the form of a pledge to be redeemed within a year. If present plans materialize, the new building will rise in time to witness Villanova's Centennial Celebration. Tentative plans of the proposed structure have been drawn up, as shown, by architect-alumnus, Alfred Panepinto. RISING OUT OF THE MISTS FOR THE CENTENNIAL the lessiii of viujvm i I N KEEPING with the secular spirit of the times, modern education has empha- I sized the consideration of only material values. Many who arc aghast at the turn of world events do not realize that the seeds of calamity are being sown right in this country by the methods of training our youth. It is a fact that non-sectarian education in the United States does little to counteract the forces of materialism and utilitarianism which are sweeping the world. It may, for reasons of self-interest, oppose their manifestations in some countries, but it docs not attack them on fundamental grounds. Catholic education alone is left to carry the standard of absolute Christian ethics, without which there can be no solid foundation for peace and security. Although the principles of Christianity arc not being observed in the world at large, at least they will never disappear com- pletely while the Catholic Church and Catholic education flourish. Entering as we are upon a world of dark and foreboding visage, we can at least have the consolation of knowing that we have been inculcated with those principles upon which alone the hope of civilization rests. This knowledge affords us a degree of confidence which will give us something to cling to when the pillars of Society totter and sway. Evolution of the letters of our alphabet from the Phoenician of 3200 years ago to the present Phoenician of 1300 B.C. Greek of 700 B.C. Roman of 50 B.C. Figure 1. A A Aleph = an Ox Alpha Ah £b % B Beth = a house Beta Bay Figure 3. f 1 r c Gimel = a camel Gamma Kay OUR alphabet came into being ages ago. Credit for its origin is given to the Phoenicians, who formed letters or symbols representative of what was important in their daily life and activi- ties. The first letter. A, represented food, Alcf,” an ox or rather the horns of an ox. It was made by two diagonal strokes with the apex at the bottom and crossed in the middle with a line representing the yoke. Through use, and the desire for speed in writing, this mark evolved finally by way of the Greeks and Romans to its present formation. (See figure 1.) The letter B followed in the same way. After food came shelter, the Phoenician symbol being representative of Beth,” a house. (Sec figure 2.) Transportation was next in importance. The third letter, C, being representative of the head and neck of a Gimel” or camel. (See figure 3.) Doors, windows, hooks, fences, hands, palms, whips, water, fish, eyes, mouth, head, and teeth followed and were symbolized by marks. The marks in turn forming the beginnings of our alphabet. All of them the product of man’s imagination, the gift of God. So today we are the heirs and assigns of all that has gone before in the way of alphabet designing and redesigning. This annual, the product of the imaginative minds of the Staff, assisted by the highly skilled artisans of the Clark Printing House, Inc., is representative of the high excellence that can be attained in this character of work, when the tools at hand arc understanding applied. The ability to bring the necessary labor and materials together to accomplish this result comes from long experience, and we offer every Staff the benefit of our years of cumulative knowledge and service gained in producing high-grade school and college annuals.

To Rev. Daniel P. Falvey, O.S.A., our moderator, for his heartfelt interest and ready counsel which was equaled only by his kindness and amiability. To Rev. Robert M. Sullivan, O.S.A., our co-moderator, for his constant advice dealing with the technicalities of composition, the value of which can be esti- mated only by comparing his suggestions with our own initial attempts. To William T. Cooke and W. Harry Corson of the Clark Printing House, Inc., for their expert advice, so freely given, and their personal assistance, frequently at the cost of considerable inconvenience. To Carl Wolf, of Zamsky Studios, whose geniality and professional skill made up for our own shortcomings and will be a monument to the spirit he puts into his work. And to Miss Ann McCarthy of Zamsky Studios, whose generosity was indicative of her personal interest. To the Lot Photo-Engraving Co. for the facility with which they made their usually fine engravings. To the administration, faculty, student body and all others who so cheerfully cooperated in the myriad of bothersome details which accompany the taking of pictures. To the various members of the secretarial staff of the college for their readi- ness in supplying essential information. To Photo Crafters, Henry Mancuso, the Villanova Engineer, the L.K.D., Villanovan and the Alumni Club of New York for the use of several photo- graphs. To the Deans and faculty of our respective schools for being so considerate in making it possible for us to attend to a thousand and one jobs, the inevit- able accompaniment of editing a yearbook, and to go to school at the same time. To the staff, for their ready response and their honest attempts to do their very best. To our advertisers, who have chosen to give evidence of their faith in Villa- nova College and the Belle Air, by assisting in making it a financial success. To Rev. Thomas Roland, O.S.A., for his valuable assistance in obtaining material for the College History. And to all others who in any way have assisted either by direct action or their ready advice and moral support. THOMAS J. MOORE, Editor-In-Chief.
