Villanova University - Belle Air Yearbook (Villanova, PA)

Text from Pages 1 - 360 of the 1943 volume:

The Belle Air of Nineteen Forty Three marks the completion of Villanova’s first one hundred years of existence. The College has, with reverence and awe, justly celebrated the memory of all the men who in the first century of her life have contributed so much to her well-being and development. She has thanked God for their labors and the fruition of their work in the Villanova of today. With the tradition of a century of toil and sacrifice behind her, she looks forward with joy and hope, and Trust in God, to a second hundred years, and hopes that she may in the future prove worthy of all the great men who have labored in her cause, and who have brought her to her present high station. IT is to THE VILLANOVA OF THE FUTURE that we dedicate this book, hoping that the men who guide her destinies today and tomorrow will deserve the same grateful judgment of history one hun- dred years hence that has been accorded to the old Augustinians who first changed Belle Air to Villanova. 1643 -1043 (Centennial ICcliti ion ANOVA NOVA • PENNS A formal Coat of Arms was designed and adopted for the Centennial celebration. Father Vrana undertook the work with the advice and help of Doctor Boniface Stratemaier, O.P., of the Catholic University, an expert in heraldry. It is an adaptation of the official seal of the Order of Saint Augustine, including in its symbolization the fact that Villanova is a Catholic College dedicated to Saint Thomas under the Patronage of Our Lady, and directed by the Augustinian Fathers. The entire Coat of Arms consists of two elements: (a) the basic shield, (b) the embellishments. The embellishments consist of four elements: the Motto, “Unitas, Veritas, Caritas”: the Laurels, adopted from the Seal of the Order, as supports; the Crest, which is the Cross; the enclosure, identifying the whole. The shield itself is an heraldic field, described tech' nically as follows: the field Argent (white), a cross Azure (blue), with four bezants thereon, and between these an open Book, its edges Or (gold), it pages inscribed “Tolle Lege, Tolle Lege.” The Blue and White are the College colors and the colors of our Mother of Good Counsel. The form of the cross is a sign of the Catholic Faith. The Bezants in gold stand for the Charity of Thomas of Villanova. The Book is a symbol of Learning. The phrase “Tolle Lege” (Take up and Read) indicates Saint Augustine, and his spiritual sons. Hence the final reading: A Catholic institution of learning directed by the Augustinians and dedicated to Thomas of Villanova under the patronage of our Mother of G(X)d Counsel. OUR COAT OF ARMS o 7S - 3 o ne H tin (I red Years FOR one hundred years the Augustinians have devoted themselves to developing young Gitlv olic men in all the phases of educational life. The ideals of education change from genera' tion to generation according to the demands of the times. The old Villanova began as a Liberal Arts College in compliance with the spirit of the early 19th century. In the course of the years many new departments have been added to its curriculum, and the tempo of college life has increased, so that the Villanova student might be as well prepared as any other student to meet the growing demands of modern civilization in America. The increase has of Noble Purpose been chiefly in the spheres of science and commerce. The requirements of physical development have not been neglected either. But, fundamental to the Villanova ideal is the principle of fashioning the Christian Gentleman. This for the past century, and for possible centuries to come, has been and will be the reason for Villa' nova. That is why the Chapel has always dominated the College landscape. It stands as a symbol of Villanova's devotion to the ideal of forming the Christian Gentleman, and as recognition of the fact that the one permanent element in all education is the formation of the student’s character according to the principles of Christ. 16 BOOK I Containing the highlights in pic' ture of Villanovas one hundred years from the days when she was a small school on a converted farmland through all the periods of her growth till the days of her Centennial.

A not immediately bright future is theirs to face, for Alma Mater has sent some and will send others to her country's call. c 11 t (111 a is ii m o i u OMING up the walk from the Pennsy station, the student is confronted by the towering figure of St. Augustine holding in his hand a heart, the symbol of Christian love. This flaming heart in the hand of Augustine sig' nifies the dominant element of his life and of the lives of his followers, the Augustinian Fathers of Villanova. Augustine was bom in Northern Africa (modem Tunisia) in 354. His mother, Monica, prompted him in his ch ldhood towards the teaching of Christ but his father, the pagan Patricius, offset that influence by handing the boy over to the secular schools for his education. His mother continued to send up persistent prayers for his soul’s safety. Only after Augustine had wandered through the mazes of Manicheeism — a materialistic superstition — were her prayers answered. In Milan in Italy he met the bishop of that city, Ambrose, and from him learned the true way of life. By constant study, his mother's prayers, and the help of Ambrose he was diverted from his unhappy and unholy life to the pure path of Chastity and Truth. Ardently he pursued his new found Ideal. Baptized by Ambrose, he began to become Augustine the Saint. Returned to Africa, he established in his native town the monastic life which still flourishes throughout the world. At the insistence of his bishop and the people of Hippo he was ordained Priest. After five years of teaching and preaching and example, he was elevated to the See of Hippo as Bishop of his own people. He ruled over his flock untiringly for thirty'four years until his death in 430. At his death the Vandal hordes were even at the gates of Hippo, and when they triumphantly scattered the African Church they also unwittingly scattered Augustine’s ideals throughout Europe. The monasticism which he founded in Africa was spread to France and Spain and Italy. It flourished there until united by Papal authority under one head in 1256. Then it spread to England and to Ireland, and from Ireland after the long course of centuries it passed over to America. The first Augustinians came to Philadelphia in 1796 and in 1842 established a country place as a prospective Motherhouse and College at Villanova. They brought with them to lovely Eastern Pennsylvania the same devotion to ideals of Truth and Love which Augustine himself exemplified in Africa so many centuries ago. And the burning heart of the statue at the head of Pennsy path is the symbol of that devotion. cCK omai ST. THOMAS was born in 1488, not at Villanova, as his name would indicate, but at Fuentellana, a village near Villanova (Villanueva) in Spain. He has been called Thomas of Villanova because of the custom of religious orders in Castile to name a person from the place where he received his early education. After his training at Villanova, he entered the University of Alcala at the age of six teen. At this celebrated university he received the master of arts and licentiate in theology and in 1514, at the age of twenty-six, he occupied the chair of arts, logic and theology in that university. His professional days were short, however, for in 1516 he sought entrance into the Augustinian Order at Salamanca. He professed his vows in 1517 and was ordained a priest in 1518. In the convent at Salamanca, he was given the class of Scholastic Philosophy and within a short time he received the added duty of preaching in many of the principal churches of Spain, among which was the church in Valladolid, the scat of the imperial Court and rcsi' dencc of the Emperor Charles V when on his visits from the Low Countries. It was in Valla- dolid that St. Thomas attracted the attention of the Emperor, who appointed him the Court preacher and one of his Councillors of State. St. Thomas rarely appeared at Court but his correspondence with the Emperor was voluminous. The Emperor highly valued the opinions of his learned preacher. In 1527 St. Thomas was elected Prior-Provincial of the Augustinians of Andalusia and Castile and in 1533 of Castile alone. While Prior- Provincial of Castile, one of his first acts was to send the first missionary Kind of Augustinians to America to establish houses of the Order in Mexico Although it was against his wishes, he was ordered by obedience to accept the bishopric of Valencia in 1544. His work in this See won him the titles of Father of the Poor, the Almsgiver and the Model of Bishops. Here we sec him as a true reformer and disciple of Christ. He fought against blo xlshed, divorce and immorality, abolished underground prisons, and rebuilt the general hospital of Valencia. He had the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass celebrated at early hours for the working classes, and he used his miraculous powers of healing the sick and the multiplication of food for them and for the poor. In the field of education he established two colleges, one for ecclesiastics and one for poor students. In 1555 he died after a short illness, just after finishing the celebration of Mass. After considering St. Thomas, the scholar, educator and reformer, it is not difficult to realize why the Augustinian forefathers in the United States dedicated their first province in the United States and their college to God under the patronage of St. Thomas. Through his zeal the Augus- ttnians first set foot in America, and after his example, the Augustinians avc continued to spread Christian learning by the particular means of educatton of the youth of America.

THE HIST TRY OF a nova The complete and authentic history of the first one hundred years of Villanova College has yet to he written. The account in this Year Book definitely is not it. Our record of the first one hundred years of life at our Alma Mater is altogether an informal one. What we have done has been to gather together what mate' rial we could, chiefly photographic, thrown it together, picked out what seemed to be to us the highlights from the viewpoint of student interest, put it into some semblance of chronological order, and presented it for the reader's benefit and, possibly, for his edification. The twin spires of Villanova's Chapel symbolize the eternal protection of God’s Providence over those works of man dedicated to His Honor and Glory. The same God has in His mysterious way wrought many wonders at old Belle Air. Only a comparative few will be found in the following pages; and never in man's time will they all be found and recorded. For God works in ways that will be known only when the records of Eternity are opened for the first time to the view of mere men. 1043 Soiled by the hand of limr, a draft of John Rudolph’� chased it. Only the Lancaster Turn Pike, the Railroad estate as it appeared when the Augustinian Father pur- and Spring Mill Road are recognizable today. The Period Before the Civil War When the Civil War came to an end, America's unity and security were established. Much the same might be said for Villanova, despite belying appear- anccs. Under the greatest of handicaps, Villanova had fought the good fight against hardship and bigotry and had come out on top. It had already, wc might say, definitely outlived the liabilities of institutional infancy and had amply fulfilled the fond hopes and wishes of its founding fathers. It was Father Patrick E. Moriarty, O.S.A., Com- missary General of the Augustinian Order in the United States, who, on October 31, 1841, purchased the college property (known till then as the Belle Air Estate) from its owner, John Rudolph, for the sum of $18,000. When we realize that it was not until January 5, 1842, that the Augustinians in the United States were civilly incorporated under the title of The Brothers of the Order of Hermits of St. Augustine, wc can sec that Villanova is to be closely identified with Augustinian beginnings in this country. For almost fifty years before the purchase of the Villanova site, the Augustinians had been variously active in parochial and missionary work in and about Philadelphia. But it was in close con- nection with their founding of Villanova that they, as a body, began to make their influence felt as a contribution to the general life of America. St. Augustine's, the first Augustinian foundation in Phil- adelphia, was soon to yield to Villanova the title of “mother-house of the Order of St. Augustine in the United States. Upon purchase of the Rudolph estate, plans were immediately put into effect to open a college, to be known as Villanova. There were only five Augus- tinian priests in this country at the time, so one of the Fathers went to Italy to obtain new recruits. At the same time, a Prospectus was issued to announce the fact that the college was to be opened to interest students, and to solicit pecuniary aid. Fr. John Possidcus O'Dwycr returned from Italy with two Americans: Fr. Ashe, a priest, and Rev. Mr. William Harnett, a subdcacon.

On August 28, 1843, the feast of St. Augustine, Fr. O Dwyer as first president celebrated Mass in the parlor of the former mansion, now a Chapel dedi- catcd to the honor of St. Thomas of Villanova, an Augustinian Saint. Classes opened on September 18th. There were seven students the first day. A few days later three more were added. This mere handful was Villa' nova s modest beginning. To assist the three Augustinians on the faculty were a secular priest, Fr. Bonduel, and two laymen, Mr. E. Ansley and Mr. J. Dalton. The subjects taught were English, mathematics, history, Latin, Greek, and modern languages. Chapel, refectory, kitchen, classrooms, and study hall were on the first floor of the main building. The faculty had its rooms on the second floor, while the floor above was fur nished with dormitories for the students, but things ouribhed so well that in a short time new buildings a to be erected to house the incoming students. Yet this prosperity was short lived. In 1844 a wave of anti-Catholicism swept over Philadelphia which finally resulted in the burning of St. Augus- tine s and whose blasts were even felt at Villanova. The Augustinians lost so much during these riots that ,t required all their energies to survive. The college was able to open in 1845, but due to increas- ing difficulties it was forced to close the following February 20th. Plans to reopen were begun immediately. Large aims vvere collected in America and Europe; the lames of bigotry burned low, and things were begin- ning to take on a brighter aspect.

The col- lege bell in the locust tree was recast from metal salvaged front the bell of St. Augustine’s Church which originally was used in the tower of Independence Hall—the predecessor to the Liberty Bell. The old college bell has been located at the Church of St. Nicholas of Tolentine, O.S.A., Flushing, Long Island, and was brought to Villanova for the Centennial Celebration. Villanova in 1872 was not a large place. To the right is the College building, completed in 1844. In the center is St. Rita's Hall, which had been the old Rudolph home, and to the left the chapel and gymnasium. In the fore- ground is the Lancaster Turnpike, then little more than a dirt road, along which the stagecoaches traveled. It was nevertheless an important thoroughfare, as it is today, for it led to Conestoga where the famous wagons were made. 'ST. DELAWARE COOKTY. ANNUAL COMMKNCKMENT, Tk. onatKrrt — ■ top V .

In the last Provincial Council held in Baltimore in May, 1849, Fr. O’Dwyer, by the most unanimous vote ever given by the Bishops, was elected to fill the Bishopric of Savannah.” Before consecration his health failed and he died in 1850 at the age of 34. Father William Harnett, Villanova’s second president, was a Philadelphian. He studied in Italy under the direction of Stephan Bcllesini, who has since been raised to Blessed. Fr. Harnett taught and officiated from 1843 to 1857. Father Ambrose Mullen, fourth president of the college.

The College Commencement Program for 1856, shown at left, is a cherished relic of Villanova’s earlier days. Apparently the procedure of commencement has changed very little through the decades. Musical recitals, student valedictories and the distribu- tion of diplomas and awards were the order of the day. REV. JOHN P. O’DWYER, O.S.A. REV. WILLIAM HARNETT, OAA.

At the end of the year the first public commencement was held, July 1, 1847. After the first reopening things once again looked prosperous. Three priests, newly arrived from Italy, were on the faculty. On March 10, 1848, Governor Francis Shunk signed “An act to incorporate the Augustinian College in the County of Delaware and the State of Pennsylvania,” thus giving Villanova its legal existence. Villanova had been founded not only to educate men for the various professions, but to perpetuate the Augustinian Order in the United States as well. Up to this time the candidates for the Order had been sent abroad for their education. Now they were to pursue their studies at home. On May 18, 1848, Mr. Charles Egan was received into the novitiate. No mistaking the popularity of the famous bowler” hat among this group of late nineteenth century students.

In his day he was by far the best known Catholic preacher along the Eastern seaboard. becoming the first member of the Order in America received at Villanova. It is a point to note that the Seminary has always been a distinct branch on the college. At the same time the college expanded. In April of 1848 a new building was begun and completed the following February at a cost of $11,958.74. That building is now the east wing of Alumni Hall. The “Catholic Instructor” of February 17, 1849, ran the following interesting advertisement: “The location of this college is remarkably healthy and pleasant; it is only ten miles from Philadelphia, from which it can be reached in an hour and a half by the Colombia Railroad or Lancaster Turnpike. The new building erected last summer is now completed; it contains six large classrooms, a hall for studies sixty by fifty feet and fifteen feet high, two dormitories of similar dimensions, with washrooms, playrooms, etc. Whether pupils pursue the general course of studies or confine themselves to particular branches will be left to the option of Parents or Guardians. The discipline of the college requires the study of the Catholic Catechism, and daily attendance at prayers and Mass; therefore Catholic patronage alone is solicited. . . .

Mrs. Shea had lived on the Belle Air estate, having been informally adopted as a child by the Rudolph family. The early use of postage stamps in this coun- try is evidenced in this letter, sent from George- town University to Father Harnett in 1865. At that time, the postofiice was at Henderson's, a country store in West Haverford. Campus life was somewhat different under the more stringent regulations of former days. One such rule forbade a student from receiving books, periodicals, or newspapers from his parents; an- other required him to provide his own knife, fork, dessert spoon, and napkin ring. ► . ffi.

During these days students rose at 5:30, classes were from 8:30 till noon, from 2:00 to 4:30, 5:00 to 6:00, and 7:00 to 8KX). They retired at 9:00. There were three periods set aside for prayer and four for recreation. Silence was enforced in wash' room, dormitory, refectory, and study hall. The life of the early Villanovans was certainly a strict one. Fr. O'Dwyer died in 1850. The number of men succeeding him in the presidency of Villanova be- tween that date and the Civil War were few indeed. And for reasons that will soon be mentioned. Fr. William Harnett temporarily succeeded Fr. O'Dwycr and himself was succeeded by Dr. Moriarty, who held office until 1855. In 1855 Fr. Harnett once again became president of Villanova. The first A.B. degree had been awarded in 1855, and now in 1857 Fr. Hamctt conferred the first M.A. But this moment of high achievement was also a moment of transition to said estate for the college. After the Commencement of 1857 hard times descended. The services of more priests were needed for the far-flung parishes of the Order; subjects of the college curriculum had to be multiplied, but there were not enough professors to teach them; times were hard and money was scarce. The Panic of '57 finally forced Villanova to close her doors a second time. During the years that intervened between the closing and opening of the college, the Fathers applied all 29 their energies in educating the clerics for the Order, and in serving the missions in Pennsylvania, New Jersey, and New York. The Fathers had hoped to resume classes at least within two years, but the uncertainty of the times caused by the Civil War and the lack of finances after the depression of '57 forced the college to remain closed for eight years. It was not until after the restoration of national peace in 1865 that Villa- nova once again opened her portals to admit students. With the energy of new life she came, saw into the future, and she conquered. After the Civil War The Rt. Rev. Thomas Galberry, O.S.A., succeeded Father Stanton in 1872, and remained in office until his eleva- tion to the Bishopric of Hartford, Conn., in 1876. During his administration, the new College building was com- pleted. After the Civil War, Villanova definitely built for the future. So much so, that, in 1917, the date which we have set as our limit, there was not existing on the campus a single building which stood as it was when the college resumed courses in 1865. The only build- ing which survived at all, in fact, was greatly altered in condition of existence. In 1875, as we shall men- tion, the building indicated (the principal college building since 1849) became the less prominent wing of an enlarged structure. In 1865, it had stood proudly forth as, by far, the largest of the three buildings directly devoted to college purposes at Villanova. In 1917, it was hardly recognisable in its insignificant position among the six large and beau- tiful college buildings. The above reckoning of build- ing, of course, in no wise includes the half dozen farm buildings which the college kept in use and good condition during the whole period of which we arc treating.

Ambrose Mullen, O.S.A., was the first president of Villanova after it was reopened in '65. Besides himself, there were on the faculty six priests, five young clerics and a lay alumnus. The curriculum was practically the same as that of '57. Commence- ments were resumed in 1867. The next president, Fr. Patrick A. Stanton, took office in 1869. It was he who gave Villanova its first gymnasium, a building 81 feet by 40 in size, and located a short distance west of what is now Alumni Hall. Because “a sound mind in a sound body is the Catholic ideal, athletics have always held a con- spicuous place on Villanova's program. There was always plenty of baseball, football, running, swim- ming, etc., to keep the students physically fit. There were, as well, non-athletic activities to provide an outlet for student talent. We find record of a Glee Club, an Altar Society, a Debating Society, a Dra- matic Society, etc. When the first catalogue was published in 1871, Upon the completion of the new College building, now Alumni Hall, in 1874, the former study hall wa fitted out for public assem- blies. It wa decorated with painting of Saint Augus- tine, Saint Monica, and Saint Thomas of Villanova. The Rev. John J. Fedigan, O.S.A., for whom our upper-class dormitory is named, became president in 1878; his two-year term was marked by many improvements. A full-length portrait of Father Fedigan, by Eakin, now hangs in Simpson Hall. The Rev. Thomas C. Middleton, O.S.A., was President of the College from 1876 to 1878. In addition to his other duties as Col- lege Librarian he found time to organize and serve as first President of the American Catho- lic Historical Society of Philadelphia.

Definite courses of study were offered including three years of preparatory work and a four year college course in the Arts, with provision for more extensive work in scientific and commercial subjects. Villanova was growing in stature. Fr. Thomas Galberry succeeded to the presidency in 1872. It was he who, in the following year, built the new wing of Alumni Hall to which we have already alluded. In the course of the same year, 1873, the same Thomas Galberry, by then the Most Reverend Bishop-elect of Hartford, formed Villa- novas Alumni Society. The next building construction undertaken at Villa- nova took place under the successive presidencies of Felix McCabe, an old college character, who was first employed by Villanova to do odd jobs about the campus in 1872. Having his picture taken was one of his pet delights. 33 Erection of the prevent chapel wav begun won after the Rev. Joteph A. Coleman, O.S.A., luccccded to the Previdency. Fr.

Bishop Ryan of Philadelphia blessed the edifice on July 3, 1887. Soon this chapel was to figure centrally in the solemnities which marked the golden jubilee of Villanova. On Sunday, July 2, 1893, Rt. Rev. Thomas McGovern, bishop of Harris- burg, celebrated Solemn Pontifical Mass and Vespers in the presence of a large number of people comprised of the faculty, students, relatives and friends who had gathered to commemorate and thank God for the success of fifty years. ________VI1V.I1, Cl line Wimp� - � an adequate college-hall, a small gymnasium and a small monastery. In the monastery were housed 16 priests, 10 professed clerics and 5 novice lay brothers. There were 90 students in all, 15 in the ecclesiastical and 75 in the collegiate department. It was Fr. Charles McEvoy who had the happy privilege of guiding the college during these jubilee days. Commencement programs featured addresses by students in foreign languages.

Originally the Belle Air Mansion, old Saint Rita’s, was used by the college from the beginning. In 1902, it was converted from a student dormitory into a preparatory school for Augustinian novices. In 1912, a little more than a century after it was built, S . Rita’s burned to the ground. Five suburban fire com- panies fought the blaze, which inflicted a loss to the col- lege of approximately $100,000. 43 Father Dohan, beloved of all who came under hi tutelage, wai President from 1910-1917, the last years of Villanova's third quarter century of growth. Science School and Summer School began under hit regime. The sixty-first annual Alumni Banquet held at th« Hotel Walton in Philadelphia and attended by a large number, brought the announcement that Mr. Bernard Corr had given the Augustinians $100,000 to build a new home for their seminarians. The insets show Father Geraghty, the then Provincial, and Mr. J. Stanley Smith, then Alumni President and now Trustee of the college. and, together with his successor as Librarian, Fr. Francis E. Tourscher, O.S.A., he represents to pos- terity the best in the Villanova tradition of learning. Fr. Fedigan is also more famous for what he did for Villanova apart from, rather than during, his presi- dency. It was the unstinted support given by him as Provincial Superior of the Augustinians, to the efforts of Fr. Delurey that guaranteed to Fr. Dclurcy the success which he realised. In 1889, Fr. Fedigan undertook the construction of two immense new buildings, College Hall and the Monastery (both since razed by fire in 1928 and 1932 respectively). At the time, some derided the project and dubbed it “Fedigan’s Folly. They believed that the college capacity thus provided would never be reached. But the wisdom of the act was amply proved in time. When the new buildings were com- pleted in 1902, the old monastery became a house for postulants of the Order, under the patronage of St. Rita of Cascia, and the old College-Building became an academy for boys. (St. Nicholas of Tolentine Academy, which department was transferred to Mai- ern at a later date, and is now known at the Mai- vern-Villanova Preparatory School.) Before 1900, Villanova may be said to have been an Arts school almost exclusively. Till then scien- tific branches had been taught, for the most part, as part of a general Arts curriculum. To keep pace with the national trend towards mechanization of industry and specialization in technical training. Villa- nova established various professional sch«x ls. As earl) as 1905, the School of Engineering was opened and included courses in Electrical. Civil and Mcchani- ca Engineering. In 1915, the Pre-Medical course uas introduced to meet the state's more exacting 'U.LAIOVA On May 4th, 1912, the ground for the new seminary was broken by Mr. Corr himself, who had provided the funds for its erection. On May 4th, 1914, the Apostolic Delegate from Washington, Archbishop Bon ano, dedicated the building just prior to the moving in of its occupants. The circle shows the laying of the corner- stone by Father Geraghty. Above is Father O’Donnell, Father Geraghty. Mr. Corr, and Father Vasey, later Provincial.

It was the A.S.T.C. (Army Student’s Train' ing Corps) and not a Navy conducted program that the college served at that time. In a spirit of patri- otism this loyal institution of learning was only too glad to be able to cooperate with the government according to its own nature and abilities, that is, in an academic capacity. At the time of the Civil War. of course, it was not functioning academically and we would hardly expect to learn that it was able to cooperate in any such way. But, at that very time, perhaps more than ever Villanova demonstrated the spirit that is behind all her doings ever animating them. During the Civil War, Villanova functioned as a hospital. Even in its own crippled state of existence it was doing all that it could, out of love for God, for country, and for all mankind. In 1918 Villanova looked more like a military bar- racks than a college. The days of the student were full ones from the shivering roll-call at reveille till the solemn taps at evening. It was during the tenure of the military that the influenza epidemic which gripped the East, came also to the College. Classes and military drill were suspended. The first floor of Corr Hall was turned into a hospital. The routine of carrying out military duties and caring for the numerous stricken fell to the exhausted hands of the few whom the dread disease passed by. But unceas- ing vigilance and efficiency on the part of nurses, Father Dean succeeded Father Dohan in 1917 and held office until 1920. An energetic teacher and renowned talker, he had a host of friends. Under his presidency was held the Diamond Jubilee celebration, enthusiastically attended but like the Centennial, clouded by wartime atmosphere. Vice-President of the U. S. under Woodrow Wilson, George Marshall came to Villanova to receive an honorary de- gree at the Diamond Jubilee Commence- ment in June 1918. He was the fourth high ranking government official so to honor Villanova by accepting her invita- tion to a degree, being preceded by two Presidents, Taft and Cleveland, and Su- preme Court Justice Gray, in the years gone by. Famous as the man who pleaded that the nation be given a good five cent cigar,” he impressed all at Villanova with his simple ways and his deeply religious address. He is pictured speaking here at the Commencement ceremony, with the old Monastery walls in the background. Troae Students today have a good idea of what it was like at Villa- nova during the last war. There was only this difference, the war was over in 18 months time, and its effect was just beginning to be felt when the Armistice occurred. One year after the declaration of war the College magazine listed the names of 202 Alumni in active service. Pictured below is the scene of the dedication of the service flag at that time. Today, the College Service flag numbers 1210 and the list is far from caught up with the actuality. The comparative difference in the two flags indicates not only the large growth in Villanova's student body in the last 25 years, but also the more exhaustive effects of the enlistments and draft. The S.A.T.C. (Student� ’ Army Training Corp) wu a feature of war time college life at Villanova until it ai disbanded on December 11, 1918. The students were not all old Villanova boys but were men sent to Villanova by the Army for further education and training as possible officers. Few of this type returned for the new year in 1919 after dispersal the month previous. What the lone sailor is doing in the group we can’t figure out. There was no more well known figure in the world at the time than the tall, ascetic Cardinal Mercier, champion of downtrodden Belgium. Nor was anyone more popular. He visited Villanova in the early Fall of the year 1919, and was received with great enthusiasm. He is pictured above addressing the gathering at the College flagpole just outside Mendel Hall. The uniformed men are from the college R.O.T.C. unit then in existence at the college.

Enthusiasm for the S.A.T.C. waned rapidly after the November Armistice. On December 11, 1918, the unit was disbanded and all men sent home for the Christmas vacation. On January 3rd of 1919 the boys, greatly reduced in number, returned to take up normal college life under the Presidency of Father Dean. An R.O.T.C. unit was formed and carried on for the rest of the year winding up with a six week period at Camp Lee. Virginia, after the June Com- mencement. The event which can be taken to mark the end of the first World War period is the visit of His Eminence Cardinal Merrier to the campus of Villa- nova. He was honored here as he had been every- where as the ideal Christian patriot, in the Fall of 1919. Father Dean's Presidency ended in 1920, and he was succeeded by the very popular Father Frank Below is a picture of a now disused entrance of the College. Relandscaping has made it part of the front lawn. In May of 1920 there was added to the cur- riculum, a course in Radio Operation. From then until 1925 interest in Radio grew en- thusiastic at the college and a Radio building (pictured here) was erected. Equipment was installed and antennae set up for broadcasting. The station was granted a license and registered call letters. Programs were carried on for a short while, but with the increased commer- cialization of this medium rendered the oper- ation of the station no longer advisable, and it was abandoned.

The day began with a Solemn High Mass, following which there was a march to the building where songs were sung and the dedication accomplished, the principal speaker being Father Fahey. The Dinner pictured above, followed, with speeches and songs under the toastmastership of Father Andrew Plunkett, ’98. Class games followed with interclass spirit at a fevered pitch. The day closed with a dance in the brand new gym that evening. It was sponsored by Mr. Ramon Arechabala of the Class of ’23. Pictured below is Alumni in the course of remodeling in its present stucco form. Father Frank Ducoll was President when it was completed and dedicated. Expenses were defrayed largely by Alumni, hence the name. Driscoll. Early in his term on October 28th, 1920, the old College building which was being remodeled in the time of Father Dean was reopened and dedi- cated to the Alumni. Their contributions had made the work possible. The day of dedication was a gala one ending with a banquet and a dance in the evening, and it may be taken to mark the beginning of Villanova s post war development. The growth of Villanova during the twenties is remarkable. That Villanova was able to keep pace with the economic expansion throughout the country during that decade is a great tribute not only to the men in charge at the time but equally to their prede- cessors who had made the expansion possible.

Late in January on a Sunday night about supper time, fire broke out on the top floor of the old college hall. Raging in- exorably all night it destroyed to the bottom the entire main wing and the west wing. No lives were lost though the prop- erty damage was immeasurable. It had pretty well burned itself out when this picture was taken. 55 Daytime revealed all the horrible extent of the conflagration which completely gutted the building a can be seen by these views which show •he stark skeletons of the walls alone remaining and they seared and blis- tered with the night’s inferno. Fire companies from around the area and from Philadelphia fought bravely and valiantly, but the freezing January weather had played havoc with the water system, and hindered the proper functioning of their equipment. The height of the blazing flames cast re- flection enough to draw spectators from twenty miles around. But there was httle disorder comparatively speaking. Innumerable friends came lo • «« mediate aid of the college and offered shelter temporarily to the now homeless students. Many of amc � � udems practically ex- hausted themselves rescuing valuable material from the burning building. The top picture shows the comparatively unharmed west wing of the burned building. Typical of the un- daunted spirit of Villanova at the time are the two work- men who can be seen putting on the temporary roof so that the floors beneath could be made habitable as soon a possible. Icicles from fire hose water still clings to the frozen walls and rubble lies half covered with snow. The lower picture shows the Villanova that had recov- ered like the fabled Phoenix from the ashes of her own destruction. Mendel Hall as it exists today is completed. Fedigan Hall also stands on the site of the old tennis courts, which have been landscaped across the Pike in front of the Church. The old Monastery is still standing much more gabled and externally ornate than the present one, with its chapel wing at the east end of the building. 57 The combined gymnasium and auditorium, now called the Field House, was opined formally on the night of April 1, 1932. Formal programs were issued for the occa- sion which presented the Belle Masque Players in a burlesque of Shakrspeare, the college Sym- phony Orchestra playing the inter- ludes, and the Villanovans playing for the Dance which followed. Above is pictured the stage cur- tain painted by Mr. and Mrs. Au- gustine Coan of New York. It shows St. Augustine as a young layman with friends. The Latin inscription reads: ''Leisure with- out reading, is Death. The south stands of the athletic field were built in 1927. Pictured at the bottom is a typical football crowd just before game time. In July 1932, with summer school in full swing, last period classes were disrupted by the frightened word that the Monastery was on fire. The alarm turned out to be a duplicate of that which announced the destruc- tion of the College in 1928. Starting in the upper floors the fire spread along the entire length of the building consuming its way downward to the ground floor, with great rapidity. All hands turned to, not so much to fight the fire as to save what they could from the build- ing. Fire companies from Philadelphia again responded and with their aid the local companies were able to keep destruction at a minimum and above all to save «he parish church which was imminently threatened. But the Monastery Chapel was burned beyond salvage. There was no serious injury or loss of life. lllUNOYA COLLEGE «O...UW' Hi � bov« student 1« entitled eeive credit In the ssoont of: ------------Oat DOLLAR....... on the College canpus. to re- BURSAR Qcriji'L LtynL faulty m 2 i t .■� A VilL9n� fl + •' 14 S § 9 S9999S999S99SSSSS The continual years of depression wound up with the famous bank holiday which put a tem- porary end to checks from home and nrcessitated the scrip technique (above).

Second Dean of the Engineering School was Carl Y phries who served Villanova loyally from 1908 till his d in 1918. Mr. Humphries, a non-Catholic, was belove all the numerous engineering students who came unde direction in his long tenure. Father Driscolls time the School of Commerce and Finance was established, and with that, the organ- isation of the curriculum was set up to function under four Deans, each in charge of a school. It was almost immediately necessary to provide more dormitory space, and so Austin Hall was begun. It was fin- ished in 1924. In 1924 the last of the old Prep School classes was graduated. Alumni Hall became a college dorm. In 1924 Father Driscoll's term as President ended. He was succeeded by Father Hickey who had long been associated with Villanova as a teacher and moderator and founder of the Summer School. His term however was brief. He was called to Rome to serve the international interests of the Augustinians as Assistant General of the Order. He was succeeded by Father Mortimer Sullivan who held office till the following June, when he too was called to the mid-west to further the work of consolidating newly acquired parishes there. In June 1926. Father James Griffin was appointed to the Presidency, by Father Herron the newly elected Provincial. The growth in popularity of intercollegiate sports characteristic of this period throughout the country, led to the building of the new football and baseball fields to the East of campus, and the erection of the CO A comparatively recent feature of Villanova life is the Annual Mother’s Day celebration, an in- formal reception held in May, usually in conjunction with Junior Week, for the purpose of introduc- ing Mothers of students to some- thing of campus life. It consisted in speeches of welcome from the student leaders, entertainment in the field house, a tour of the cam- pus facilities, luncheon, and Bene- diction in the Chapel. Students and Faculty cooperated to make the Mother’s one-day stay a pleas- ant one. South side of the stadium in 1927. Other plans for expansion were being considered when Divine Provi- dence took a hand and Villanova was visited with the disaster of fire in January 1928. The old College Hall with administration offices, classrooms, labora- tories, auditorium, and dormitory space was almost completely destroyed that winter night. The greater part of one wing only, was salvaged. Perhaps never in Villanova‘s long history did an event occur which showed to better advantage the true spirit of the Villanova man than did this occa- sion. With accommodations reduced to a primitive minimum, with crowded abnormal confusion sur- rounding their daily school life once so tranquil, the Villanova boys remained absolutely loyal. Not a stu- dent left the College. By dint of heroic rearrange- Junior Week always has been a time of great traditional celebra- tion at college. At Villanova the celebration has its own flavor. On the right arc some pictures of a recent Junior week, in 1939, held by the Class of ’40: Mass on Mon- day morning; Flag Raising; Tree Planting; Ivy Planting. The printed program is from the lush ’20’s, 1929 to be exact, when Jun- ior Week was at its height in elaborateness. jfuior Ulftk Cocnmittff .i«, i. � ••• Junior Prow Coamitttt King Committer r� o« � . •••• T— IMI« • •«MUt Committrr � Cant Hut JMairr Ball ant £ra Dantt yult Say Commmtt IU « penalisation Huai ittrt star Dantt VjKQurt Committee ry ! • Asm mot Courtier Mtt «■rpara rwn mcnt by the administration, and equally heroic and cheerful patience from the boys, not a single class hour was lost which had not been made up by June. Never to be forgotten cither, are the kindness and generosity of the numberless friends of Villanova who came immediately to her aid in her hour of prostration. His Eminence Cardinal Dougherty gra ciously gave permission for collections to be taken up in the Diocese for the benefit of the College, and a campaign for funds was energetically organized and prosecuted by the Fathers of the College and the Province. As a result. Villanova grew again out of the ashes a new and more glorious Villanova. On the site Of the destroyed building was erected the present Mendel Hall, with all its expensive laboratories, office space, and classrooms. The salvaged wing was roofed and repaired. This was done by 1929. In 1930 Fedigan Hall, a new dorm, was completed. In 1931 the Commerce and Finance building was finished, originally planned as merely a part of a unit. Further building not necessarily connected with the post'fire reconstruction, was carried on. The north side of the stadium was finished in 1929. The magnificent field house and stage (to replace the destroyed auditorium) was constructed next to the stadium, in 1932. A second great disaster visited the campus in the Summer of 1932. The Monastery was destroyed by fire. While student life was little affected by this The annual held day was a feature of Villanova life from way back. Class competition was its basis, and naiurally Sophomore-Freshman games were the keenest contested. This rivalry developed over the years into real physical contests and in the 20’s took the form of a tug- of-war across the pond. The last of the class struggles was held in 1937 when the then Frosh conquered the Sophs.

For more than ten year prior to hi appointment he had been a teacher in the Engineering school, and later. Chaplain. Problems of administration and organization have occupied most of his time of office; and he has been very actively associated with the larger national educational groups. As a reward for, or as recognition of extracurricular ac- tivity there was introduced in Father Stanford's time the Merit Award Certificate, which he is shown here presenting to a student at the annual meeting for that purpose. 64 More or less formal, the annual Faculty Dinner in the Autumn of each year, was introduced to the Villanova of today by Father Stanford. On this occasion, characterized by a lack of speechmaking, new members are formally in- troduced to the old, innovations are explained, admin- istrative changes announced, publications by faculty mem- bers congratulated. Faculty wives lend a grace to the occasion, not otherwise present at faculty get-togethers.

The growing library, once housed in the Monastery but since, moved to the East Wing of Austin Hall, has been an administrative problem for Father Stanford. More space had to be acquired, and recataloguing had to be begun. Dream of his administra- tion has been the building of an adequate library for the present and the future, and the dream seemed about to become a reality when the war put an end to the possibility of building. Under Father Falvey who became librarian upon the- death of Father Tourscher, the work of re- organization and expansion has gone steadily on until the whole library unit is fairly bursting the wall of lower Austin. fi7 ui — v o°i ■fl,U • “ ' I 1 ib-A Ao oMotuIcdtlur court cft� a rut ffOtUM RlttfAU OfINVf TilJtnrw r 0 M Lc,y •.i l� J Drlawarc County Police used to come weekly to the campus for lectures in police methods and administration given by visiting lecturers, using our classroom space for the purpose. blow, the daily life of the priest-teachers was com- pletely disrupted, and the financial blow resulting, coining on the heels of the recent college fire and the consequent reconstruction was well nigh heart- breaking. But the new Monastery was completed in 1934. In 1932, Father Griffin's term as President came to an end. He was succeeded by Father Stanford who is still in office. The burden of Father Stan- ford's regime has been to consolidate the gains of the previous years' almost miraculous growth. In the boom years between 1921 and 1932, the student body had increased from 309 to 1114; from '32 to '36 it dropped sharply to 701, reflecting in its decline the national economic disturbance. Since '37 the total has risen and has held itself around the 900-950 mark. It has been Father Stanford who has guided and steadied college administration through this pe- riod of decline and recovery, and it has been his one When the Jap raided Pearl Harbor in December ’41 they aUo wrote finis to normal college life. Preparations for girding collegians for the coming struggle were almost immediately begun. Physical Fitness courses were added to the schedule. Technical courses were expanded to meet the demands created by the increasing interest in such subjects. The accelerated program was resolved on and begun in June 1942, the second half term being shortened to end on May 19th. Draft Boards began to cut into the student enrollment, and enlistment promotion began among them for candidates in the varied branches of the Armed Services. To the Administration’s credit be it said that all the upheaval was accompanied with a minimum of chaos. resident Requests %reh0u tudent Cooperation nVe New i Conservation Plan - - to teW P Student , Nav In V-i r, Action. ram Allows T i.... —-—- - 1 tsew V-I Training Program Inaugura ted Bg College Jr '' .

Committees were formed to care for he detailed work, and suggestions were gone over. But ith the catastrophe of war in December of 1941, all thoughts of elaborateness were put aside. The event was too important to be postponed even by a war, so it was resolved to go on with a celebration which should be dig- nified yet comparatively simple. A centennial Mass in the Fall of the year was held, and it was followed in the Spring by an Academic Convocation, both very successfully carried out. Symbol of Villanova’s age was the old college bell which once in its career had hung in the State House of Philadelphia until it was replaced by the famous Liberty Bell and sold to the Augustinians of St. Augustine’s. tv-4 Cleric .ind laymen, old and young Alumni, the Catholic public of the Metropolitan area in general gathered at the Field House on September 20, 1942, to honor Villanova by giving thanks to God for her 100 years’ existence. The music of the Mass was sung by the Seminary choir of Augustinians from Washington and St. Mary’s. His Eminence the Cardinal. Archbishop of Philadelphia, was escorted to the altar by Papal knights. Typical of the time was the presence of uniformed Alumni, one of whom was a casualty from Bataan. The sermon was preached by Bishop O’Hara of Atlanta, Georgia, shown in the left corner with Father Stanford and Bishop I.eech of Harris- burg. Dinner afterwards to the clergy and officials was presided over by His Eminence. Below are some of the attendant Bishops (with birettas): Bishops Walsh of New- ark, McGuinrss of Raleigh, N.

In his regime there has been no major building operations: but there has been some accretion. Up to September '43. four private residences adjoining the campus have been added, one a gift from Mr. William Simpson, College Trustee. No matter what the future may bring, the crown- ing event of Father Stanford's tenure will have been the Centennial Year Celebration. It began fittingly with a Mass of Thanksgiving on September 20, 1942, celebrated by His Eminence, Cardinal Dougherty, in the presence of ten other prelates of the Church.

Every morning and afternoon, non-resident students stop by for a personal visit to the Blessed Sacrament in recog- nition of the same necessity of keeping in touch with the source of all things. College life begins officially for every Freshman with the opening Mass in his first year and the solemn address of the President on the duties of their college career. Col- lege life ends really for the Senior with the Solemn High Mass and Baccalaureate sermon of Graduation Day. During the years of college life, in the chapel is found the center of spiritual life. Early in the year there is the one day of recollection. Later, at midyears there b the three day retreat set aside from the routine of study for the consideration of the soul. Regularly in the eve- ning there are confessions in preparation for the weekly Mass early next morning. In the semi-darkness of the winter morning or in the soft sunlight of early spring, in the early gloom of the winter eve, or the lovely twilight of the late spring, the Villanova man can be seen hastening to the Chapel. � ■ The heavily foliaged green grassed camput on the opposite page contra� ! sharply with thr wintry barrenness of the colored pic- ture above.

The lively activity of its upper floors contrasts with the quiet and leisure of the lower levels and East wing where students pore over assignments in the Library. The largest campus building houses the ad- ministration offices, classrooms, laboratories for science and engineering work. The present structure was built in 1929 to replace the origi- nal and equally impressive building built in 1902 and totally ruined by the great fire of 1928. Mr. William Simpson, trustee and invaluable friend of the College, donated to Villanova this private resi- dence adjoining our land, facing I.ancatter Pike. Here some thirty lucky resident student enjoy a campus life much more intimate and cory than is possible in the larger dorms. Its parlors are used for informal study groups and seminar meet- ings.

VILLANOVA TODAY Chairman The Board of Trustees is the corporate body legally respoiv sible for the college obligations. It exercises a general control over the establishment of broad general policies that the college follows. It decides on policies of the investment of capital and the founding of scholarship trust funds. Chairman of the board “ex officio at its regular meetings is the Provincial of the Order of Saint Augustine. The College President is also a member, as is the Procurator, and the Father Prior to the Monastery, because it is to these men that the Provincial has entrusted the immediate management of the College.

The curtained light of his office, still burning at mid- night, is familiar to every resident stu- dent who has checked in upstairs after an evening of relaxation. Father Stan- ford works late and rises early. A quiet, staid dignity marks the administration of Father Stanford's presidential duties. Yet he is easily accessible to any student who has a problem which comes under presidential surveillance. The conv parative calm and orderliness of the life of a student at Villanova during these trying war days at the College arc the result of the effectiveness of his ad- ministration, which has been characterized by a very close and informative contact with the student himself, and a corresponding trust by the student in his judg- ment and advice. The parents and guardians of the boys of Villanova he has kept currently informed by a scries of “War-Time Letters issued periodically from his desk. President of Villanova since 1932, he has since then brought the College to the very forefront of the edu- cational world. Past-President of the Association of American Colleges, he is serving now as a member of the Advisory Council to the War Manpower Com- mission whose special problem is the College boy. Father Stanford serves on that board chiefly as spokes- man for the small privately endowed college and espe- cially the Catholic college. 94 W«k-end permission for the residents, room changes, locker registration for the non-residents, laying down the law to the Student Council, awarding athletic prizes, at- tending social functions of the student organizations, all these are occasions for Vice-President's contact with the student. They make him the best known figure on the campus. The least desirable of all the administrative offices is the one held by Father McGuire . . . that of Dean of Men. As Dean he is responsible for the observance of discipline among the students, and the student, as all know, is perenially averse to restriction. Comparatively young, this Dean has a sympathetic grasp of the student outlook and student mentality. He also has a dignified sense of humor which helps smooth over many an unpleasant situation and tempers the administrations of corrective justice which it is his task to carry out. Father McGuire is also the Moderator of Athletics, in it' self a full time job. In conjunction with the Athletic Board he establishes and maintains our athletic policies, gives final “say-so” to schedule makers, supervises athletic personnel, accompanies the teams when they are on the road, oversees public relations. Combine these duties with those of the disciplinarian, and you have a perfect picture of a busy man. The Vice-President 95 VILLANOVA TODAY As straightforward as he is tall, and as efficient as his voice is deep. Father McQuade holds the newly-created office of Assistant to the President. He is serving now also as Liaison Officer between the College and the Armed Forces of the Nation. As such he takes under advisement programs for the training of the Reserve Corp students. All com' munications between the man in college at Villanova and the government come through him. A chief duty of his this year was the formulation and installation of the Physical Training program. With the cooperation of the Athletic Staff it has had great success. The smooth transition at Villanova from the usual two semester year to the three semester year has been in large part due to his energy for he was entrusted with re-arranging the curricula and balancing student hours and credits. With the retirement of Father Burns, he has also added to his duties that of Acting Dean of the School of Arts. Assistant to t lie FR. McQUADE FR. BURNS FR. DOUGHERTY DEAN MOREHOUSE These are so to speak, the Staff Officers of the College. Under the President they carry the office work, organisation detail, which is so essential to the conduct of a successful college. Scholastic matters arc taken care of by the Deans, the Registrar, and the Librarian; financial affairs arc handled by the Procurator and the Controller; Religious observances are seen to by the Chaplain. A very capable corps of secretaries takes care of the countless clerical details involved in this phase of Villanova’s life. FR. BARTLEY McMENAMIN FR. FALVEY President and the Administrators FR- GRIMES MR. BANMILLER MR. DEVER The Vili tinova Faculty Villanova has developed an enviable tradition over her one hundred years by her system of pedagogy. Her ideal has always been to secure the best available material for her teaching staff. From the numerically few men of the first year she has added and increased until today she numbers seventy-three members on full time in the regular sessions and one hundred fifty-three in the summer, extension, and part time branches. A happy combination of the lay teacher and the Priest of the Order first tcxik care of the educational needs. Later when the Summer school began and grew, teach- ing Sisters were also added and lay women. During the first two years, the teachers associated with Father O'Dwyer were seven in number : two priests, one cleric, a subdeacon, and two lay brothers, and two laymen. There were seven students in the first enrollment. Three other clerics, sent abroad in 1842, returned and took their places on the faculty in 1847. At the first Trustees meeting in May 1848, there were listed on the Faculty of the newly re-opened school four priests, two clerics, and two laymen. After the interval of the Civil War the Faculty numbered twelve: six priests, five clerics, and one layman—an Alumnus of the School. Among the priests there .was young Father Middleton just returned from his theo- logical studies in Italy. Father Middleton had been at Villanova since 1855, and except for the interval of study in Italy, he continued at Villanova until his death in 1923, a span of sixty-eight years. He was a VILLANOVA TODAY Some of the Pioneering Father associated with the re- opening of Villanova in 1865. Seated, Left to Right: Pacifico Neno, Loui Edge, William Harnett, Patrick Stan- ton. M.

Galberry became Bishop of Hartford, Connecticut. specialist in the field of early Catholic American his- tory. In his sixty-eight years he actually lived Villa- nova's history. In 1866 under the presidency of Father Mullen, there was added to the faculty Mons. Pierre Arnu, a graduate of Heidelburg and Geneva in Switzerland. M. Amu remained at the college for thirty years when he retired because of ill health. Other interesting members were added to the staff at this time, chiefly Charles Gaunt, M.D., who taught Physics and Chemistry, and Major Beatty, who con- ducted military exercises for one year only. Samuel K. Murdoch taught Oratory from 1881 until his death in 1891. At the time of the golden jubilee, the staff num- bered eleven priests, one cleric, five laymen. Three other clerics maintained discipline. This practice of having clerical students serve as prefects in the College obtained until 1929 when the task was given to the younger and more energetic of the priests themselves who still perform the function in the halls today. The catalogue for 1903-04 lists in the faculty: nine priests, two lay brothers, one cleric, eight laymen, and of all things, one laywoman who taught manual arts. The laymen included Messrs. Caboni, Hurley, Lawless, Mood, Reiner, Tadd, Tullcr, and Uhlc. This was under the Presidency of Father Dclurcy who greatly expanded the curriculum and laid the foundations of the Engineering school and the future Science school. The men were secured by him to care for the profes- sional subjects taught for the first time at Villanova. Six additional clerics are listed as disciplinarians. During the Presidency of Father Dohan the policy was adopted of sending the clerical members of the Province to the secular Universities to take advance courses and degrees to better equip the future priest teacher for instructing in scientific subjects hitherto taken care of almost exclusively by laymen. This policy was further developed by Father Vasey who as Provincial opened a house on the grounds of the Catholic University at Washington, D. C., where mem- bers could live and study while attending graduate classes at that sc hod. Laymen still have and it is to be supposed will con- tinue to have a prominent part in the teaching life at Villanova. The College remembers with special gratitude the long tenure and devotion of the careers of Dean Humphries, Doctor Magee, and especially the beloved Charlie McGeehan, one of her own, who not only taught engineering, but coached baseball and guided athletic policy as Graduate Manager. Among her present faculty Villanova numbers her own boys. First of these in tenure is Prof. Slavin of the Engi- neering school who was a student under Father Delurey. Then there are also Messrs. Bucche, Dris- coll, Gallen, Henry, Lamberti, and McClain. Dean Morehouse has been with the college and the Engi- neering school since 1921; Prof. Schaefer with the Ccf'F schod since 1922. Holder of the longest consecutive tenure among the priests on the present faculty is Father O'Leary. Fathers Kiley and Hammond knew the Villanova of the early century but were stationed for some years at other schools of the Province. Fathers Bartley, Grelis, and Stanford have been teaching since the early twenties, Father Dougherty since 1926. Every priest, with rare exceptions, has his collegiate education from Villanova. Most graduate work is done at Catholic University, though some have continued advanced work at University of Pennsylvania. There are priests also who have successfully taken degrees from the Gregorian in Rome, Wurzburg in Germany, Oxford in England, George Washington U., Columbia in New York, M.I.T., and Rcnsellacr Poly.

Wl� en, however, the student is destined to commercial pursuits, or intended to por- sae a particular profession, the course of instruction will be so modified as tq suit the wishes of Parents and Guardians. As instruction in the principles of the Catholic Religion, and a strict observance of tho duties it enjoins, form a part of the system of education, Catholic patronage aiooe is solicited. The Collegiate year begins on the firot SCHOOL OF ARTS For a long time after Villanova s first fifty years, the history of the school has been the history of her department of Arts. It would be a mistake to think of the departmental system such as we know extending much beyond the period—looking back' ward—of the nineteen twenties. In its beginnings Villanova was purely an Arts school. It was founded to continue the traditional Catholic view that educa' tion was the pursuit of culture and should consist in the study of the Liberal Arts, carried over from the medieval universities and aiming at the formation of the Catholic mind by putting a man in contact with all the best of the previous centuries. The old curriculum was based on the study of literature, mathematics, and philosophy. The litera' ture was Latin, Greek, and English. Thus we arc told that “there was Cicero and Virgil taught in the early days, and that “Master James Barr taught an advanced course in the classics. Great stress was laid on Oratory and Debate, and such cxtra-curricuiar activities as drama and music were much fostered. After reopening in 1865 we can see that French and German were added to the studies. Writing as an activity was given prominence toward the end of the century by the founding of a college magazine. There was a literary society formed too, for hearing papers read by members which they had written. The business of the meetings was to discuss these papers in round-table fashion. Until 1905 there was little further change in the Liberal Arts course. In that year the curricular was expanded to include the newer subjects of Economics, Sociology, and Pedagogy. When an Engineering school was opened in that same year, Villanova's de- partmental system began to take form, though it was some long time before it functioned independently of 1 c Prefect of Studies who since the school began had charge of all curricular administration. The last of 1 CfCr prcfects s dy was the popular Father How- •‘r relis, still active in the cause of teaching, who °n «.CtS cxtens‘on and summer school work among the Sisters. In the Belle Air of 1922 he is listed as Prefect of Studies; in the '24 year book he is Dean of the School of Arts. , AplC[ ’rC Father Grclis was succeeded at tr ugcnc Mauch, who later was succeeded Th chools The two pictures are a view of the old library and study hall in what is now Alumni Hall. The space is still there though divided up now into sleeping quarters. Note the hard wooden furniture of the Library especially. by Father John Burns. He in turn, just last February, upon being transferred to Saint Patrick’s in San Diego, was succeeded by Father Vincent McQuadc as Acting Dean. In 1924 four departments were functioning: Arts, Science, Business, and Engineering. With the spread of the need for teacher graduates, and the expansion of subjects in purely pedagogical fields, the Arts school was further divided, and a department of Education was created, uniting in it work previously carried on by both the Arts and the Business schools. So, what was basically the original college is now a mere onc-fifth of its administration, numerically very small. But it remains and always will remain, the means of the ideal of education founded as it is on the need for producing the cultured mind. ENGINEERING The Villanova scholastic catalogue for 1904 adver- tised the fact that applicants for the study of engi- neering would lie considered by the college authorities. This marked the opening of the first engineering school in a Catholic College in the East. In 1905 the actual courses were inaugurated because the college admin- istration, under Dr. Delurcy, wisely foresaw the ad- vance of technical education and wisely reached out to afford to Catholic boys a technical education under Catholic auspices, just as she had up to that time afforded Catholic boys a liberal education. The work was started under Professor Carpenter, a Lehigh graduate, assisted in mathematics by Father Dean. The school was an immediate success. For the first year under Prof. Carpenter only Civil Engi- neering was offered, but in the following year, en- couraged by the initial venture, courses in Electrical engineering were added, and the technological branch of the College was permanently on its way. In the year 1908 a third engineering branch—Me- chanical—was begun. Prof. Frederick Seely was its first director and he was assisted by Carl T. Humphrey who very soon took over the Deanship of the entire Engineering School. He remained at Villanova until his death. Prior to coming to Villanova he had been in the practical field and had taught at Harvard and M. I. T. In 1909 Villanova graduated her first engineers: John White and Edward Kirsch, Civils; John J. Smith, Electrical. To signalize the event the graduates were addressed by Lewis Nixon of New York, a naval con- struction engineer. Since that time Villanova has sent into the Engineering world a steady stream of competently trained men, a small number at first but ever increasing as her quality of instruction and facili- ties increased. In 1918 a Chemical Engineering branch was organized under the direction of Father Robert Fitzgerald O.S.A. who continued to guide it until his retirement in 1940. The school continued in its four main departments under the Deanship of Mr. Humphries until his death in 1938. He was succeeded in office by Mr. More- house who still continues. Mr. Morehouse has as his chief task the job of reorganizing a curriculum which during the course of the years had become somewhat unwieldly. His success in this task is well evidenced by the great increase in enrollment, by his 115 firm grip on all problems of administration in his department, and finally by his achieving the desired goal of having the school accredited in 1941 as ap- proved by the Engineers Council for Professional Development. SCHOOL OF SCIENCE With the advent of World War I in 1914, the beginning of a new epoch in professional training was marked. It was at this time that professional educa- tors adopted the plan of one year of premedical col- legiate education for prospective applicants to medical school; this established the first correlation between the professional schools and the colleges. As an outcome of this, provisions were made for the development of the pre-medical curriculum by Father Dohan in 1914. The technical studies of the science student were supplemented with an effort to gain an acquaintance with the classics, which the Augustinian Fathers were convinced were essential to insuring a well balanced education. The foresight of Father Dohan in this matter can well be appreciated because of the keen competition that eventually devel- oped in the field of medical education. At first, the laboratory facilities were meagre, but the resources at the command of Father Dohan were concentrated on obtaining capable instructors for the new science curriculum. Year by year, new courses were added in order to cope with swiftly changing requirements of the medical schools. In quick succession the one-year requirement was changed to two, then to three; and now it is prac- tically impossible for one to matriculate to a profes- sional school without a bachelor’s degree. During this period of changing requirements, under the direction of the Rev. Francis Driscoll, O.S.A., all of the courses in the School of Science were unreservedly commended and approved. Bachelor degrees were first awarded to students of the School of Science in June, 1924, two years after the appointment of Father Fink to the Deanship. The Rev. Joseph Dougherty, O.S.A., succeeded as Dean on the retirement of Father Fink in 1926, and continues to the present time as the Dean of the School of Science. The disastrous fire of 1928 occasioned the next epochal development in the School of Science. The The teaching of physical science is no twentieth century phenomenon at Villanova. The meagre equipment of this lab give a good idea of the amount of science thought adequate (perhaps rightly) in a nineteenth century Liberal Arts college. credit for this improvement is given to the Rev. James Griffin, O.S.A. Despite the crushing blow of the fire and the consequent financial burden, no expense was spared by Father Griffin in providing the best obtainable laboratory furniture and equipment, which remains to this day. It was in the Fall of 1933 that a program was drawn up to establish a curriculum for Nursing Education in conjunction with the School of Science. The fruits of the efforts of this long line of Augus- tinian Fathers in founding and bringing the School of Science to its present state of excellence are witnessed in the number of men who have successfully matric- ulated in medical schools throughout the United States and abroad. COMMERCE AND FINANCE The advance of commerce made necessary the preparation of young men for careers in that field. Accordingly, in 1920 there was added to the Arts curriculum certain subjects in the field of economics. Father George O'Meara the Vice President took charge of the curriculum in this field. It was no acci- dent but rather foresight that at the time a young priest of the Order Fr. Bartley was studying for the doctorate of philosophy in economics at Washington, D. C. In two years, time the interest of actual and pros- pective students was so great that it was necessary to place the entire field of the subject in a department by itself, divorced from the Arts curriculum. Father Bartley, recently returned from University study, and especially equipped for the work was given charge of its organization and administration as Dean of the School of Commerce and Finance. Sonte one with a sympathetic eye to history took this shot of old Men- del Hall in the process of erection at the turn of this century. The wooden scaffolding indicates the pe- riod before the reinforced concrete era. From 1902 till 1928 this was the College. Herein were the Adminis- trative offices, the auditorium, and gymnasium, the dining room, dormi- tories, class rooms, and laboratories. It was a pretty intimate life in those days. When the Preparatory Schtx l was transferred from the College grounds to Malvern, the C and F school moved its offices and files to the old Academy Build- ing, now called Alumni Hall. It had previously shared cramped space in pre-fire Mendel with the other three schools. Arts, Engineering, and Science. The enrollment expansion which caused the trans- fer of the Prep school to Malvern was due to great part to the number of students coming in who were anxious to avail themselves of this field of training. With the functioning of the school as a unit in itself this enrollment growth, assumed even larger propor- tions. At one time, this school adopted the policy of admitting students at mid-term, hut this policy was short lived. Also at one time it combined several education subjects with a view to producing teachers of business subjects. Though popular for a time this policy too has been discontinued. The education de- partment since 1937, functions now under the School of Arts. This youngest school grew apace with the general increase in college enrollments throughout the late twenties, and in the reconstruction period after the fire, it was decided by the authorities that it should be housed in its own building. So in 1930, plans were drawn up, and in May 1931 the building was completed. Its portion of the campus was at the far East end as explained by the fact that it was originally intended as one part of a quadrangle to comprise a Library, Dining Hall, and Engineering building. The destruction of the Monastery, put an end to these plans for it made its execution financially impossible. Great credit must be given to Fr. Bartley, who under the succeeding administrations practically from the school's inception has guided its destinies. It has never been the policy of the school, and its Bachelor of Science degree docs not stand for a merely tech- nical training in advanced phases of Business Admin- istration. Cultural subjects have major proportion in its curriculum. English, History, Modern Languages, and Philosophy, especially Logic have been required subjects. 117 Art and Philosophy Father Burnt � 11 made Dean of Art� in 19J5. He ha� ju t relinquished the potition to take up parochial dutie� . Gentle- manly above all other thing� , he represented the ideal Art man at well at guided hit education. __________ Visual Aid technique, greatly stressed in modern theories of education, is employed in the Art� school in the teaching of Art Appreciation, and Religion. The picture above is of a class in The Sacraments” watching the picturization of the administration of Baptism. Mathematics and physics occupy a Kood deal of the Amman’s school time, and he finds them as difficult a part of his life as the. Engineer does. He is quick to tell all scoffers that his class schedule is as hard as the hardest since it samples all schools. Informality is the rule in all Villanova classes but more so in the Arts school than elsewhere because of its limited enroll- ment. A seminar or discussion group attitude pervades each class hour. Below is a freshman Latin group relaxed and atten- tive, as Father Bresnahan discusses some point in the works of Cicero set for freshman study. 119 Quitr formidable in anyone'� curriculum are (he Religion Courses of Father McKee. Detailed and exhaustive in their analytical outlines they well repay the Artsman for the time spent on them, because they afford practical slants on religious elements in economic and industrial life. 1 Dr. McHugh above is pointing out the value of the application of a certain phase of the theory of Visual Aid to Education majors. Father Burns, below, was always a great advocate of map study as a very essential part of training in the apprecia- tion of the effect of geography on history. I These arc Arts student spending an afternoon in the Biology Laboratory. The :udy of the forms of life is required of all truly cultured men, and to this end, lower classmen in the Arts school devote a good deal of their time to lecture and lab work outlining the form of the amoeba, sectioning the earthworm or dissecting the frog. Father Dwyer carries the brunt of the Philosophy courses in which the Arts man majors. Introduction to philosophic methods is his course in I.ogic pictured in session, below. A tool” course for the rest of philosophy. Logic demand from the student a continuous contribution of activity in the form of frequent assignments attacking or upholding the validity of some forms of argument. The lime consuming element in the life of the Engi- neering «ludent ii work in the laboratory. The graduate engineer is no mere mechanic more highly «killed. He i a theorist with much practical knowledge. Theory come in class, practice in the lab. Greased stained overalls are as much a part of Engineering equipment as the highly- mystifying textbook. Freshmen begin their training in elementary wood and metal work shops, and seniors spend their final year in a mate of valves, gadgets, pipes which baffles the uninitiate from other departments. Dean Morehouse supervises the work of all four Engineering departments: Civil, Electrical. Mechanical, Chemical. He presides at the frequent faculty meeting where aims and achievement of students are considered. Engineering Costly and complicated machinery fills the entire base- ment of Mendel Hall. Hydraulic forces are harnessed, internal combustion controlled, electrical flows guided safely, on practically any weekday afternoon between one and six. While all this activity looking towards the harness- ing of natural power goes on below, life on the upper floors of Mendel continues unconcerned and nonchalant. Occa- sional backfires from acetylene torches, or a yell now and then front a careless handler of electric current or the excitement of a broken strap is usually all that mars the intensity of study in subterranean Mendel. Microphotographic technique is something comparatively recent in the engineering field. It is employed a good bit in the work of the metallurgist and has contributed much to the study of flaws developing under strain. 0707000101000001090907060307040000000200020201050705091002000001020200020201 The Chemical Engineer is quite a different man from the mere (as he regards it) Chemist who is a Bachelor of Science in Chemistry. He is preparing himself for an important place in the world of industry which with its present day emphasis on plastic material offers him in- numerable opportunities to display his capabilities as a designer of efficient production processes. Part of Villa- nova's present plans for expansion include the erection of a Chemical Engineering lab. The student teacher relationship is most important in the department of Engineering. To this end the College has been most zealous and unsparing to secure for her stu- dents the best available men. In her teachers she looks for not only advanced technical knowledge and classroom experience, but also for the human touch which makes a man vitally and personally interested in the capabilities of individual students who look to their instructors for prac- tical help as well as theoretical knowledge. The Engineer i� not studying to be a welder, but he must learn the elements of the very important process for his future work in designing. Recent developments in the field of armament produc- tion show that welding is more important now than ever before. School of Science One of the basic values of the pre-med course is that it imparts a sound familiarity early in the youthful Doctors' career with laboratory facilities and procedures. In the graduate field the student can concentrate on results and reactions rather than on mere technique. Father Dougherty’s tenure as Dean of the School of Science has been characterized by a strong desire to produce candidates for Medical school who will be not only skilled technicians and diagnosticians but who will be thoroughly human and sympathetic. His students regard him as ex- emplifying his own ideals. 126 Silhouetted again� ! the late afternoon sun, this student typifies conscientious application to his field of work. Devo- tion to one’s profession is a trait which the authorities prize above all others in this humanitarian branch of Science. Chcmo-therapy rapidly developing field of medicine is prepared for at Villanova by the many exacting courses in the branches of Chemistry. Organic and Inorganic Chem., Qualitative and Quanti- tative Analysis, Physiologic Chem., all consume many hours of the yearly schedule of lab weary pre-meds. But what with vitamins, the sulfa drugs, and things like the new pencillin, it's well worth the training. 127 Father Hammond always has that smile for his students of physiologic Chemistry. The maze of apparatus always awes the younger students in the early years of College and they find his courses formidable. Upperclassmen more familiar with the intricacies of advanced Chemistry derive great value from his methods and instruction. The long white coat worn in the lab by pre-med students is as familiar a sight along the third and fourth floors of Mendel Hall as the white jumpers of the engineer are in the basement of the same building. Stains from slide- making, stains from materials of chem labs, and plain gore from dissected specimens in the anatomy labs all help to make it very difficult to keep them decently clean for any long period. A student in the School of Science need not necessarily he preparing for either Medicine or Dentistry. The course offers fine opportunities to the embryonic I.ab technician. The equipment of the Villanova laboratories is the finest: microscopes, spectroscopes, microphotographic setups, bac- terial cultures, stills, sensitive scales, natural history speci- mens alive and stuffed, charts, sera, all the necessities for furthering the spirit of scientific research are at the dis- posal of the conscientious student. 1 9 4 3 129 Father Bartley, dean of the Commerce and Finance Building, is now accomplishing the difficult task of pre- paring his students for the numerous business and financial changes that arc sure to arise out of the present emer- gency. School of Commerce and Finance Informality plays a large part in the atmosphere of the Commerce School classes. Fr. Lozano is shown driving home a point in the Spanish Class, one of the most popular in this Building. From the picture it can be seen that there is an active interest in the subject. 130 1 J There i� always an active interest in the grades that are received in the Business Office. Upon receipt of notice on the Bulletin Board the student reports to this office and receives his marks from the Dean’s Secretary, Miss Kelly. All correspondence be- tween Mendel Hall and the Commerce and Finance Building is carried on through this office. The complexities of History are made more understand- able by the variety of maps used in this course. The vital importance of this subject is now being emphasized by numerous educators. Accounting i taught in this spacious room which is la rd out with special regard for the teaching of this sub- ject. Special desks are required for the work done on practice projects.

Mr. Dougherty, Statistics teacher, has a way of impar.- ing knowledge along this highly complicated line which puts a shine on this misunderstood subject. Doc’ brings in many interesting side-lights that serve to lighten the subject matter. The Library Rev. Francis E. Tourschcr, O.S.A., succeeded Fr. Middleton «rho was first Librarian. After Fr. Tourscher’s death in 1919, Fr. Falvey became Librarian. The above is a view of the library reading room before its reorganisation. The purpose of the library, at that time, was to preserve books. The foundation of our library was laid during the period immediately following the Revolution, when, in 1796, St. Augus- tine's Church was constructed in Philadelphia. It is a matter of historical record that this church contained the best ecclesiasti- cal library in the country when it was destroyed by fire during the “Know-Nothing riots of 1844. The books that were gath- ered from these ruins were then added to Villanova's library which had been in operation for two years. Prior to 1924 the library had been in every building on the campus without ever receiving a permanent home. But since the erection, in that year, of a fireproof building, Austin Hall, the library has been housed in its East wing. The recataloging and reclassification of the entire collection according to the Library of Congress method was begun in 1934. With this reorganization came a period of development and expansion so that now the entire basement of Austin Hall is used by the library, and the overflow of 15,000 volumes is shelved in the basement of the Commerce and Finance Building. The library collection now contains 75,000 volumes of books Lower left: An illuminated manuscript of 21 leaves, dated December 20, 1528, addressed to Charles V, king of Spain and emperor of the Holy Roman Empire.

Some of the books were printed before Colum- bus discovered America. Among the treasures arc a copy of the Vulgate” edition of the Bible printed in 1482, the year before Martin Luther was bom, and two copies of the famous five language Dictionary or Vocabularium of Ambrose Calcpini, an Austin friar and lexicographer who died in 1511. One of these bears the impression of Paulus Manutius, a noted scholar and printer of the sixteenth century. Other rare items are il- luminated manuscripts on vellum and parchment written in the fourteenth and fifteenth centuries. Some of these are as valuable for their beauty as they arc for antiquity for they exhibit the harmonious blending of gold, green, blue and brown colors ap- plied by the monks in their scriptoria. The library' has many other interesting volumes, among them the recently acquired Joseph McGarrity collection of Irish- Amcrican literature.

THe Seminary Although Saint Mary’s Hall has been the home of the seminarian for not quite thirty years, it would be a mistake to infer from that fact that the semi' nary's part in the history of Villanova College is con- fined to that relatively short period of time. As a matter of fact, the seminary antedates Villanova by nearly half a century, and throughout her long and glorious existence the College has considered the ecclesiastical department a prime factor in developing a front-rank institution of higher learning. The first Letter of Foundation of the Augustinians in the United States, dated at Rome, August 27, 1796, provided for the establishment of a novitiate and study house at Saint Augustine's, Philadelphia. However, the Fathers of the Order were few and their work so pressing that these provisions could not be carried out. Because of the nature of their activity —Still largely missionary—opportunities for the prac- tice of religious discipline to the degree necessary in a seminary were lacking. Consequently, in 1797. Michael Hurley, the first candidate to the Order in this country, was sent to Italy for his novitiate and higher studies, returning as a priest in 1803. The same procedure with minor modifications was used for the students who followed. It was not until thirty years later that conditions of the Order in America and of educational facilities in general permitted the complete training in this country of aspirants to the Priesthood. The distinction of being the first Augus- tinian to receive all his ecclesiastical preparation on this side of the Atlantic belongs to Fr. James O'Don- nell. He entered the Novitiate at St. Augustine's on January 1, 1832, and was one of the first five stu- dents in the seminary established in Philadelphia by Bishop Kenriek in that year. Finishing his theological studies at Mt. St. Mary's, Emmetsburg, Maryland, he was ordained on January 13, 1837. When Villanova was established in 1843, the Brief of Foundation transferred the seminary from St. Augustine's to that site. The change was effected in 1S44 with the permission of the Ordinary, Bishop Kenriek. At Villanova the seminarians played an im- pressive role in the life of the infant college. They were important numerically, and some of the more advanced students frequently acted as instructors also.

It was on the site of the original Belle Air ’ mansion. Originally it was the Faculty house of the College and the Mother House of the Prov- ince, housing Novices, Postulants, and advanced clerical students for the Order.

Father McCabe U in hii fir� t term as Prior of St. Mary's, after a long career in parish work, chiefly in Chi- cago. He is an enthu- siastic gardener. of the college), was a member of the first faculty. Everybody lived in the Old Rudolph Farm House— faculty, students, and seminarians, the latter by a double right. The first cleric novice to be received at Villanova was Charles Augustine Egan, on May 18, 1848. The first ordination was that of Fr. Peter Crane on November 1, 1857. The most notable contribution of the seminary to the College came in the years 1857 to 1865. Through- out that period, while the doors of the institution were closed to lay students, the ecclesiastical depart- ment continued to function—and Villanova continu- ity was assured. The seminary has had several homes at Villanova. The first, as mentioned before, was the Rudolph mansion, which housed the seminarians from 1845 until 1901. In 1879 the old mansion was renovated and enlarged. A fourth story was added in order to provide room for all the seminarians and to insure the privacy necessary for religious observance. When the monastery was built, the old monastery was given over completely to the postulants, novices and pro- fessed clerics. In the following year, however, by order of the Provincial, Fr. Ceraghty, the old monastery was con- verted into a House of Postulants only, in order to provide for a hoped-for expansion in the number of vocations. Novices and professed clerics were moved into the 4th floor of the new monastery. The need for men was extremely great, but there were pro- portionately few candidates. It was felt that a separate House of Postulants where boys could receive their secondary education would provide the answer to the problem. It did, and soon the seminarians were obliged to go abroad for their higher studies because of lack of room at Villanova. This condition was merely temporary as a new study house was soon established. Through the generosity of Mr. Bernard Corr of Philadelphia, St. Mary's Hall was built in 1912. It was occupied in 1914 by the clerics (novices and pro- fessed) of the Province, the chapel being blessed by the Apostolic Delegate, Archbishop Bonsano, on the Feast of St. Monica (May 4, 1914). This arrangement continued for a few years, but once more the rapidly increasing number of aspirants to the Order demand- ed that a different disposition be made. Accordingly it was decided in 1919 to open a House of Theology at Washington, D. C., where the students could also attend classes at Catholic University. Progress in the new foundation was slow, and it was not until 1930 that all the theologians were transferred from Villa- nova to Washington. Further expansion took place when the House of Postulants was moved to Staten Island to the Augus- tinian Academy. In 1924 Mt. St. Rita's was built primarily and the postulants occupied it in 1926. The last class to make its novitiate at Villanova was that of 1924-25, for in 1925 the novitiate was transferred to a splendid site on the Hudson River near New Hamburg, Duchess County, New York. The Novice class of August, 1925, was the first to use the new foundation. The while habit i� no longer familiar lo Villanova students.

MEANEY Familiar to every College student arc the black-robed Seminarians walking the tree- shaded triangle between Corr Hall, the Grotto, and Alumni Hall, paired off and conversing in their pleasant fraternal way. Through all the years of the seminary's existence, the seminarian has remained essentially the same. The reason is not hard to find. When the Augustin' ians settled in America, the Order was already four- teen centuries old, and as a consequence of that long experience, seminary ideals had been long established and proven. While the passing years have brought modifications, no substantial changes have been wrought; so that in the seminarian of today one can see all his predecessors. At Villanova the seminarian is commonly called a First Row: left to right across both pages: Caniglia, Me- Closky, Nolan, Smith, Lynch, McDermott, Wclih, Cleary. Second Row: Olszewski, Hartman, Syvituki, Cain. Riley. Professed from the fact that he professes the three vows of poverty, chastity, and obedience. By virtue of his profession he has made himself a follower of Christ in a very special way, and his life is ordained to bring him into close and intimate union with God. His day begins with the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass and the reception of Holy Communion; at fixed in- tervals, together with his brethren, he recites the Divine Office in choir. After special prayers in honor of Mary, the Mother of Priests, comes night and the solemn Magnum Silentium. Phrlp . (R.I.P. July 10, 194} , To cani, Cameron.

A good deal of prayer «aid in common occupies the day of the students for the Order, here we see them gathered for the recitation of the daily Office, a prayer form as old as the Christian centuries. i But prayer is just one side of the Professed's life. There is the scholastic part as well, and he must meet all of Villanova's requirements for the degree of Bachelor of Arts. His academic curriculum is well adapted to fit him for specialisation later on in prepa- ration for labors in the field of secondary education. The crown of his curriculum is philosophy, the “handmaid of Theology” for a seminarian. It is axiomatic that work without relaxation defeats its own purpose, so the sports of the season have their place in the horarium of the day. Nearly all seminarians are enthusiastic participants in the typically American games of football and baseball, while tennis, swimming, ice-skating find their devo- tees too. Above all, the seminarian is an ardent “walker”, and every day groups can be seen leaving St. Mary's for a stroll through the countryside. In all its variety there is a particular unity in the seminarian's life. It is admirably suited for preparing him for his complex duties later on as either parish priest, educator, or missioner: and for securing to Villanova the faculty for her second hundred years.

Graduation Day for the summer school students means even more to the Sisters and Brothers and Priests than does the regular graduation to the regular student, for the degree is won by hard concentration in the time that can be wrrsted from their daily usual work. Summer The man’s world which is Villanova fades into the wom- an of God’s world in the summer. Blaring radios arc no more, boyish and noisy pranking disappears. In its place comes the quiet dignity of maturer study. Fraternizing « replaced by sororizing.” The Sisters have their own w y °f getting fun out of Summer School, and not the Irast of its pleasures is the association and companionship w h members of other communities engaged in their com- mon work. Sch ool Father Walter Rafter, first director of the Summer School, had the problem of initiating the curriculum to care for the first needs of the Sisters. Father Sparrow, above, succeeded Fr. Rafter in the first work of the Summer School. He relinquished his position because of the pressure of many other duties. Hot and long afternoons in the labs are no bargain for the heavily garbed Nuns. Common source of wonderment to lay stti- dents is the manner in which the Nuns manage to appear oblivious to the burdens of the day and the heats. Villanova's extension school work began in the scholastic year 1916 17, when Father Dohan, the then President, accepted from two nearby communities, the Sisters of the Immaculate Heart at Villa Maria, and the Sisters of Mercy at Morion, the invitation to con- duct college classes for Nuns at those convents. Father Dohan himself and Father Hickey took up the work at both places. During the summer of 1917, and during the scholastic year which followed classes were con- tinued at Villa Maria with the original staff now in- creased to four. Third and present Director of the Sister’ Summer School is Father Bartley. Hi chief objective ha always been to keep the curriculum abreast of the expanding needs of the Nuns whose job it is to conduct numerous schools at the pr.'mary and secondary level . Other communities soon requested that they too be permitted to participate in the benefits of this extension work, especially in view of the increasing State de- mands for teacher certification for all engaged in the grade and high school levels. And so, the college authorities, with some hesita- tion, decided to inaugurate in 1918 a summer school session on the campus to which any interested com- munity could send its members. The attendance and enthusiasm shown at this first campus Summer School was most gratifying and encouraging. Well over one Among the Communities represented in the Summer School are the following: Missionary Sisters of Third Order of St. Francis (Peekskill, N. Y.), Oblate Sister of Provi- dence. Sisters of the Holy Humility of Mary, Sisters of hundred were in attendance, representing a number of communities, some of whom were from outside the Diocese of Philadelphia. Since this time the Summer Session has been a regular phase of Villanova's educa- tional efforts. Courses first offered were chiefly in the field of Liberal Arts and Normal subjects in the field of Edu- cation, designed to meet the more pressing needs of the various groups in attendance. Fifteen teachers formed this first formal faculty. Here it is interesting to note that some of the original Younger Nun mu t pul in hour of practice teaching and observing the method of their more experienced � i - tcr . The first aim of the Summer course is to provide nell equipped teachers for the diocesan and community sponsored schools at the grammar and high school level . staff are still engaged in this summer school work, among them Father Bartley, the present Dean. Others arc Father Grelis, Father O'Leary, and till this past winter. Father Burns. Father Hickey is still on the campus and still vitally interested in the work, though called by duty to other and higher fields. At the conclusion of the first campus summer session, and again at the earnest request of the nuns, the Col- lege authorities decided to continue with follow up work by way of extension classes held at some central point in Philadelphia, on Saturdays during the school year. The World War intervened however, and it was not until the Autumn of 1919 that, through the encouragement of the Diocesan Superintendent of Schools, Father Joseph O'Hara, and his assistant, Father, now Bishop, Lamb, that regular Saturday courses were begun at Hallahan Girls' Catholic High School, in the city. In the years which followed the early beginnings, the work continued to grow. For a time after 1925 summer courses were given in Los Angeles, at the request of the Bishop of that Diocese. Branch schools have since been inaugurated at some of the larger convents where under Villanova supervision under- graduate subjects are taught to younger nuns by quali- Charity of St. Vincent dc Paul (Halifax), Sister of SS. Cyril and Methodius. Sister of the Third Order of St. Francis (Glen Riddle), Missionary Servants of the Most Blessed Trinity, Sister of St. Joseph (Philadelphia), Sisters tied graduates in their own communities. The enroll' ment in the summer and various extension groups has grown to the two thousand level, and during the 1941 - 1942 year the instructors numbered eighty-three. More than one thousand degrees have been awarded to sum- mer and part time students. In this total arc not in- cluded the teaching certificates granted which in the first years were very numerous. These figures show how God has blessed the work and prospered it. Its success, under God, is due to the fine cooperation, encouragement, and help in the solution of many problems, of the authorities of the Philadelphia Archdiocese, particularly to the present Superintendent of Schools, Monsignor Bonner, to whom Villanova will always remain very grateful. The work of the early years was naturally an un- familiar one. The organization first came under the direction of the Prefect of Studies. The need of a Dean soon became felt as the school grew, and Father Walter Rafter was appointed to hold that office Next came Father John Sparrow under whom the work con- tinued to expand. In 1932, the present Dean, Father Bartley, entered the Office and has held it ever since. Growth in numbers has been countcrpartcd by growth in curriculum. The Bachelor of Science degree with a major in Education stands now for the Normal certificate. But a great number stand for the Bachelor of Arts degree in the field of their major teaching subject: English, History, Modern Language. Philos- ophy. Others study for Science degrees in Chemistry, Biology, Physics, Mathematics. Courses in Library Science now lead to degrees in that field. The goal of most is the Master of Arts or the Master of Science award. The continually conscientious note taking of the Sisters is a constant source of amazement to the college boys. They never even bring a newspaper to class. of St. Joseph (Watertown. N. Y.l, Sisters. Servants of the of the Holy Child Jesus, Bernardine Sisters of the Third Immaculate Heart of Mary.

But this night school shot proves that we do have co-eds, though they con- fine themselves to Hallahan High in Philly. It comes as a surprise for the ordinary full time student at Villanova when he sees his Alma Mater listed in educational journals as a co-educational in- stitution. Certainly he sees during his time on the campus nothing of anything like co-ed life. Yet Villanova docs have real co-eds even if they have no part of the full time regular courses. In the Summer Schools Saturday Extension Classes and in the Night School, he will find them. The night school is unique among these three for while the Summer and Extension Schools were inaugurated to provide part-time education for nun teachers in the Dioocese From the fir t grade in gram- mar school to the spare time efforts of night school the blackboard is the focal point of explanation. Schools The informality of the Evening sessions can be easily seen from the above shot. No full time student would smoke a pipe in the corridor outside a classroom. classes though diminished continue, and Villanova hopes that she can keep on with them through these times until the day when normal life returns to the workaday world and the night school student once more avails himself or herself of a chance for educa tional advancement. Under Prof. Schaefer Evening School Accounting is just as thorough as it is in the regular sessions in the C and F school. of Philadelphia, and only accidentally afforded the lay- man or laywoman opportunity to obtain more school- ing, the Night School was begun precisely to give to those interested a chance to take advantage of op- portunities in education not otherwise available. Night School classes began in 1928 and for six years after were held on the campus. The original intent was to give instruction in Commerce and Finance subjects to those whose days were spent in that field of work. Classes were held two nights a week. In 1934 the classes were moved from the campus to Phila- delphia where they could be made available to a greater number, since they had proved their worth. Courses more strictly cultural were added to the cur- riculum upon the request of those bent on self im- provement in after work hours, so that besides the Commerce subjects, Psychology, Education, English, Philosophy, Ethics, Speech, Modern Language, and History are offered. The whole School is run on a very unassuming though efficient basis. No extensive advertising is done. Fees are modest. Classes are held three nights a week for three hours, seven to ten. Let up till the time of the present war emergency the enrollment had steadily increased. Since the hectic times of war at- tendance has naturally dropped off because of in- creased working hours in the day of this type of stu- dent or because of shifted hours which no longer leaves the early evening available for school.

This one is part of a government program to provide the Nation with more trained technicians in the production field, i. c. to provide short, intensive, practical courses in every phase of engineering at the collegiate level. Sponsored by the United States Office of Education, this type of instruction is offered as a War measure and goes under the name of “Engineering, Science, and Man- agement War Training. Fourteen Colleges in Eastern Pennsylvania were selected to supervise this training, of which Villanova was one. Most of the courses are part time and evening courses. They carry no college credit but arc certified Dean Morehouse was assigned the difficult job of administering the operation of the Defense School. He does it with his usual smooth efficiency. upon completion. Offered by Villanova were: Ele- ments of Engineering, Advanced Physical Metallurgy, Fundamentals of Radio and Electronics, Junior Engi- neering, Engineering Drawing as basic curriculum. Many other advanced subjects arc offered to those qualified. Classes are conducted three nights a week, three hours a night, usually, and the total time depending on the subject varies from sixteen to twenty-six weeks. All drawing room equipment, laboratory material, and tuition fees are supplied by the government. The student has to supply his own textbook. This branch of Villanova war activity is directed by Dean Morehouse. Sessions are held not only at Villa- nova, but in various high schools throughout the city. Pity the poor prof who finishes his exasperations of the regular periods in the day and then looks forward only to more of the same until ten at night, or later. Drawing long hours in the day time is bad enough especially during the long spring days; but imagine the tedium of trying it under the lights after a particularly tough day of regular work. We B ecome On May 30th, one week after graduation, the Com' manding Officer of the future Navy unit reported to the President and assumed office. On June 1st a working unit of the “ship's company “came aboard and the machinery for the establishment of the base was set in motion. Offices for the Navy personnel were set up on the first floor of Mendel Hall where the old Science Office and the Education Office had been. The old gym was turned into a “ship's store and supplies began to roll in regularly. By June 15th preparations were going full blast, additions to the company having arrived. College administrators, the college faculty, and the main tenance department were all working hand in glove to get ready for induction day July 1st. Fedigan Hall, Austin Hall, and Alumni Hall were to be turned over completely to the Navy and Marine students. Part of Mendel also was to be used. “Sick Bay was to be established in the new house recently j purchased, at the campus edge, down next to O'Dwyer Hall. Above: COMMANDER MILNER, U.S.N.

The day’s schedule had to be expanded to run from 8:JO to 5:35 so that all sections could have instruction. Some classes were held at night.

Religious Societies The primary purpose for Villanova s existence as an educational institution is contained in school's advertisement that appeared in an Almanac for 1845. This institution, under the direction of clergymen of the Order of St. Augustine, has been established for the purpose of affording the Catholic community a means of giving their children a thorough Catholic education. This notice appears under the signature of Villanova's first President, the Very Rev. J. P. O'Dwycr, O.S.A. From the very beginning of Villa- nova's corporate existence she has realized her great responsibility of developing her students into staunch representative Catholic gentlemen. With a view to achieving this end a simple reli- gious program has always been fundamental to the curriculum. The religious opportunities offered on Campus are manifold. Realizing that Religious edu- cation is the most important of all forms of education, Villanova has devoted to it a minimum of two hours a week per student. Every Villanovan has the advan- tage of personal contact with the priest-professor of his choice to whom he may go for spiritual guidance. The crystallization of the office of College Chaplain is the result of a gradual development that began m 1923 with the Very Rev. Edward V. Stanford, O.S.A., as the first incumbent. Each week from Monday to Thursday inclusive. Evening Prayers arc held in the College Chapel at 6:35. These services arc not intended to supply or replace private prayers or devotions, but they arc “an official and public acknowledgment on the part of Villanova College of the reverence, respect, and devotion that is due to God our Creator. Evening Prayers in some form had always been held on Campus, but prior to 1924 prayers were had in the study halls of old College Hall (now Mendel) and in the corridors of resident halls immediately after the close of the night study period. According to a campus tradition of long standing the student body attends Mass on Thursday morning. Fully three- fourths of the students take advantage of the facilities offered at this weekly Mass to receive Holy Com- munion. In the collective judgment of the students, the Retreat is the greatest single force for betterment in Villanova's religious program. Until 1924 the Annual Retreat was held during the first three days of Holy Week. This tradition was broken the fol- lowing year and the Retreat was placed after the Mid-year examinations. This was supplemented by a Day of Recollection at the beginning of the scholas- tic year, usually on the Thursday before the First Friday of October. Chaplain for the Iasi two years. Fathers Grimes’ devotion to his job has already grown almost legend- ary. He carries on extensive correspond- ence with old boys” now in the service. Father Stanford, pictured above at Mass, made it his custom to address the student body solemnly at least once a year at the opening of the Fall term, to remind all students of their obligations to themselves and their parents to make the best of every opportunity that Villanova offered. The chaplain's work is more of personal contact and interview with student than in any group way. Twice a year however the students as a group as- semble for a retreat in which spiritual conditions in general are discussed by priests of the Augustinian Mission Band. The very central location of the Chapel symbolizes the fact that herein is the core of all Catholic life. Students drop in for a visit to the Lord of all at the beginning of the day’s work and at the end before boarding train or bus for home. TIie Seminars Informality in � tudy i the keynote of Seminar activity. Above � how Doctor Hartman using map and globe to get across some point of interest to his History Seminar. At one time this group was second in number only to the very popular Music group. A college education implies much more than at' tendance at class, completion of assigned work, and the passing of exams, even though these things be essential. Something more than mere routine must be added to the life of study if a college man is to reap the full benefit of his years of study. An extra interest in a subject of study should be inculcated cither because the subject is to form part of one’s life work, or merely because it may become a profitable hobby. To this end, there has been established at Villanova the Seminar. The word as used here has none of the meaning by which so much graduate work at Universities is designated. Rather it signifies some- thing quite informal, for which no scholastic credit is given, but which in the leisure hours of the evening or the late afternoon when routine is finished for the day, will afford the student that extra something by way of further information which can be gathered from joint association with others having the same interest; the meetings being guided and sponsored in- formally by some teacher who is willing to give a little extra time in recognition of this extra devotion on the part of the student. Seminar activity has been a recent addition to Vil' lanova s extra-curricular life. It has also been one of the first casualties of the War.

A peak in the activity was reached in the years ending 1940, 1941. Then they numbered ten and eleven respectively, and included International Rcla- tions, Spanish, German, Sociology, Biology, or Re- search, Mathematics, Radio or Speech, Drama, Physics, History, and Music. This year only the Science Seminar, German, and Spanish Clubs, and the Music Seminar survived. The German Club continued its program of movies and lectures on old pre-war Germany, the Spanish Club held its usual meetings and wound up its season with the annual award of the Cervantes Medal and its dinner and Songfest. The Science seminar directed by Father Donnellon had regular papers read and an occasional guest speaker. The Music Seminar once so popular with resident students had to be foregone but the lunch hour recitals for the Day students on Wednesdays, continued through the year guided by Dr. Haenisch. All sorts of means arc used to stimulate interest in the subject of seminar dis- cussion.

In the first editorial of the first formal publication by Villanova students we can read this paragraph: Wc arc in earnest, and heartily trust that when an- other fifty years. . . has decked Alma Mater’s brow with the Centennial crown of glory. . . they will find our College journal still existing not in its present state, but steadily advancing with an established and well merited reputation. This was written in 1893 upon the occasion of the first issue of the Villanovan. This first of Villanova’s publication was the forerunner of today's weekly newspaper, though the present form is a far cry from the original, which was a monthly issue and devoted to literary rather than journalistic efforts. The life of the first Villdnovtm continued for four years until July 1897. Sporadic attempts were made to revive it, but a really continuous publication was not forth- coming until the time just prior to the World War when through the inspiration of Father Hickey, pres- ent Assistant General of the Order it was revived in literary form. It lasted in that form until 1927. In October 1928 the issue became a weekly newspaper under Father Eugene Mauch. In 1932 it became tabloid under Father McKee and has remained such under the same moderator up till now. The founding and continued growth of the Engi- neering school led to the establishment of a second type of publication, a technological issue, first pub- lished in May 1913 and titled The Spark. This was succeeded after a lapse by “The Owl” a mimeo- graphed sheet put out by the engineering fraternity, Phi Kappa Pi, in 1925 under the direction of Father Stanford. It assumed its present magazine form in 1931 with Father Vrana present moderator in charge. Last year it began to be printed by offset process, the first College to be so done. 16S While ihc student body changes rapidly and traditions may in that way easily be clouded, a unity of continued ideals is secured in Villanova's publications by the function of the Faculty Moderator.

There was no Belle Air in 1923 but in '24 publication was resumed and has continued uninter- rupted since under the successive supervision of Fathers Hyson, Crawford, McCall, and the present moderator Father Falvey who took over in 1935. The Book had so expanded in scope that a comoderator was needed and in 1940 Father Sullivan joined with Father Falvey in guiding the students in their efforts at publishing. Youngest of the colleges' magazines is the Science School quarterly Mendel Bulletin. It is now in its 15th Volume. Established by Father Dougherty it has been continued by his inspiration as a means of motivating personal research among the pre-med stu- dents, and of familiarizing them with the methods and techniques of the profession journals. 1UU BULLETIN Urfrr M Below are some reproductions of earlier Villanova pub- lications, with the first Belle Air” staff in the lower left, and an early Villanovan” staff from the day when it was a literary quarterly, in the lower left.

What remained of the 1942 staff was able and willing, but almost as the year began in October fluctuations in personnel made progress difficult. One never knew whether editor or writer would be left in college from week to week. Then of course the acceleration of the scholastic program left just that much less time for the boys to put onto extracurricular stuff such as Kx k publishing. But the Modera- tors knew pretty well that the situation would be just as it was, yet nothing daunted they went ahead with plans. Help was not altogether lacking; Bob Lind did yeo- man work getting the photographic end of the Senior section cleaned up, no mean job in view of the fact that there were three sections, not the usual one, of gradu- ates. Nick Eni and Lou Esjxxsito did great work organizing and contacting the Business phase of the edition. Joe Carbine and Jim Mitchell worked practically till the day before they were called into the The photographic staff in conference.

Nevertheless the paper never missed an edition. One drastic innovation simply had to be brought in and that was to reduce the paper from an eight-page sheet to a four-page one. What suffered chiefly from this necessity was the Feature section, the Exchange column for instance, and the Faculty Comments. The news coverage remained about the same, though the sports volume had to be diminished also. Primary space had necessarily to be given to the precedent making events in Villanova life which were coming about as the full impact of war pressed upon the College. The number of cuts used weekly had to be reduced for two reasons: to make room for more news space, and to save photographic materials for the very essential shots, since bulbs, developer, sensitised paper, etc., all fell under the heading of restricted material. Friday night used to be the hectic night for the editorial staff in Room 119 Mendel; but with the in- crease in Saturday morning classes and the consequent necessity for preparation, final steps in putting mate- rial together usually took place on Saturday afternoon. This cut in deeply on some week-end holidays of the staff but they met the necessity with a grim spirit of loyalty, and drowned their regret for the missed good time in the noise of clattering typewriters, slamming doors, shouts for copy, and loud arguments. The Circulation department had a greatly increased burden this year and will have till the end of the War, for it is the policy of the paper to reach every known member of the Alumni who is in the Service whether Constant attention to the weekly activity has charac- terized Father McKee’s devotion to hi job as Villanovan Moderator. He determines the broad policy of his sheet, but places great confidence in student manage- ment of other detail . in the States or abroad, and it is up to this depart- ment not only to keep its files up to date but weekly to care for the mailing of individual copies to the entire file. One thing about the Vilhmowm has not changed: reader interest.

In honor of Gregor Mendel, the great Augustinian geneticist and father of the science of heredity, the Mendel Bulletin was founded. It is published quarterly and represents the scien- tific endeavors of the students of the School of Science to the publications of Villanova. The purpose of the quarterly is to stimulate extra curricular interest in the biological, chemical, and physical sciences for the pre-medical and pre-dental students. While the bulk of the material is contributed by the staff members, all science students arc invited and encouraged to submit articles in a scientific field of their choice. Through this publication, it is hoped that science students will become cognisant of the pertinent re- search work being conducted in the field of Medicine and its allied branches. Founded by Father Dougherty and continually fos- tered by his paternal interest, the magazine rates second to none in the field of student science publications. It is dedicated under the patronage of Our Mother of Good Counsel who is the Mother of all Augustinian scientists from Mendel himself down to the youngest Villanova freshman, and the publication itself is a challenge to those who believe that the Church is the enemy of scientific study. 174 Father Dougherty who interest in the Mendel Bulletin is only typical of his interest in every phase of the Science School’s excellence.

An Engineer, to hear one talk, never has the least moment for things other than study. It's a great won- der then how they find time to publish a thing as fine as the Villanova Engineer! This year the periodical continued the tradition of excellence established in other years, and this despite the more than usual handicaps of the past semesters. The Editor-in-Chicf this year was Robert Koob, a senior Chemical, and he was assisted by Fred Gem- gross and George Temple who were Business Man- ager and Managing Editor. Freshman Frank Solis was Circulation Manager. The magazine is published by the students of the Engineering School as a means of providing the most energetic of these youthful professional men with a medium of expression for any ideas they may have on things engineering, for interesting phenomena they may have come across in their study or their personal research, or for passing on to the brother technicians any new information they may have come across in their reading. It is almost strictly a “learned journal in the sense that its leading articles arc such as appeal only to those following the engineering profession. Numerous intricate and bewildering (to the lay-stu- dent) diagrams, formulae, charts, and sketches acconv pany the write-ups. The publication is not without its lighter moments, however, for some space is always allotted to the social doings of the brethren, the activities of Phi Kappa Pi, and there is always, too, a section of humor peculiar mostly, to the engineering mind.

X fsf y ,'i W4 J Dramatics Through Tlie Years The Belle Masque There has always been a strong tradition in drama- tics at Villanova. It dates back at least to the seven- ties of the last century1 and came into full flourish in the eighties and nineties. Plays were put on mostly in the College Hall, and as far as can be gathered were presentations of the popular works of the day, reflecting current taste. For instance, there is a pro- gram in the Library record of: Grand Entertainment by the Dramatic Society, Thursday, May 12th, 1SS7. Play Entitled The Collcn Bawn or the Bride of Garry Owen, by Dian Boucicault. The boys of that time were not behind the public taste for Boucicault was one of the days most famous writers. On December 21st of the next semester the club was putting on the boards Dark s the Hour Before Dawn, a thrilling Irish Drama by Edmund Falconer. Father Delurey as President took a special interest in stage presentations and under his regime the ac- tivity boomed. While the College Hall still was used for the less pretentious productions, some efforts were judged good enough in quality to be moved into the City for Philadelphia audiences. In 1896, again in 98 and in 1900 for instance there were presentations at the old Walnut Street Theatre which were accom- panied by much publicity. Julius Caesar and “Rich- elieu were among the presentations on these formal occasions. Minstrels were popular and continuous in the old College Hall up until 1910. Melodrama had its part too for there arc records for the presentation of the In the above rijthi is a scene from Vision as pul on in the new dc :royed Mendel auditorium.

More on the naive side was a some- thing called College Chums put on in 1908. At this time naturally the site of the presentations was the auditorium in the west wing of the then new Col- lege which remained the scene of production until it was burned down in 1928. Stage plays took on new life in the earliest twenties and every member of the college in those days will Below is the cast of Father Burns’ Destiny” with Father Burns in the back row.

A secondary feature of dramatic life in recent times was the one-act play contest staged in the fall of the year. Plays were student produced and directed. Below is a shot of rehearsal for one. remember such a famous production as the “Belle of the Campus and the varsity shows which followed it. Serious drama on practically a professional scale was rebegun under the inspiration of Father John Burns who was producer and author. His Vision” became well known over the East. Begun as a College offer- ing in the Mendel auditorium it ran at the height of its popularity for stands of a week or more. When it grew more well known it played during the Lenten season at the Metropolitan Opera House in Philadel- phia. It also had a season on the road playing in the New York area, the Coal Regions and in Boston. Father Bums also produced a Morality play Destiny and a pageant on Joan of Arc. =, w: o( Winterwt waj built bv k ' dlrcc,l°n of Fr 1 « Cnt,rc ♦ as rented it ,0 .f|| Tect f caM ™d it. aicutant. and Mr- Fra n ' • ’ Wh° 8«at al of MtUf When plans for the field house were being drawn up. Father Burns managed to have incorporated in them a new stage, completely professional in its out' lay. This is the stage as it is at Villanova today. Dramatic tradition was again coming to the fore of Villanova s extracurricular life, when the present war activity brought on a necessary curtailment. For since the erection of the new' stage the annual play was becoming a resurrected feature of the college calendar and growing more and more creditable each year. Mr. Jonas was first in charge, and he was fol- lowed by Mr. Fraync. An acoustic problem of im- mense proportions was first encountered but upon its being overcome, each successive play was more elaborate and worthy of the talent at hand. Riihi: Larry Farley, well known female impersonator, in 1927. With the production of Winterset school authorities gave permission to secure the dramatic services of jjirls from nearby Rosemont. Music Musical organization on a large scale is a new feature of Villanova life. Yet as far back as 1871 there was an extracurricular activity known as the Cornet Club directed by a Mr. Corrie, one of the faculty. No doubt, too, during the hey-day of the dramatic life at the turn of the century there was a college orchestra to play the interludes and surely it was student or- ganized music which accompanied the famous minstrel shows and the college Glee, when Father Delurcy was doing so much to promote these activities. Father Handran, whose work on the campus was respon- sible for the recent musical Renaissance between 1938 and 1942, has taken his enthusiastic talents to the Navy. Band uniforms changed frequently in the days of its firs: organization. At the top is the kind first worn when they played at football games. It was regarded by the boys as slightly too formal and was laid aside for the more collegiate and informal set pic- tures just above. Father Fink is part of this group. On the right is the type worn around 19 2, a semi-mili- tary compromise. The college band formed in 1924 to enliven student spirit at athletic events was a feature of the time ot Father Griffin and was the pet project of the Vice- president Father Fink. Their snappy uniforms were his pride and joy. At this period too, the dance band was coming into its own and has been ever since a well known campus activity. Under Father Stanford's tenure the Glee club ac- tivity became extensive and the combined recital with the girls from Rosemont was a thing of beauty which appealed to eye as well as ear. The Band too branched out into giving a Symphonic concert annually with the orchestra from Immaculata. Student enthusiasm for these affairs had reached something of a high de- gree when the Second World War curtailed the ac- tivity for the duration. The panel on the right shows sections of the talent in action during the Villanova-Roseniont Combined Glee Club recitals. Father Handran and Mother Paula spent many long hours pre- paring for this effort and the results always proved worthy. Choral work as usual was interspersed with solo and small group work and instrumental interludes. Below are some shots of past season’s symphonic presentation in combination with the girls’ orchestra from Immaculata College. A good deal of travelling back and forth between colleges was necessary to prepare for this event, and consequently it was one of the war’s first casualties among campus activities. V illanora With each year's experience the band becomes more and more adept. And no wonder for the boys in the band are a set devoted strictly to their own type of entertainment. Usually their only reward for the long hours of practice down on the Academy Field was a trip to New York for the Manhattan game. This year that feature was out, yet the fellows prac- ticed just as diligently and performed with just as much gusto. Their only reward was their sense of a thing well done and the satisfaction of knowing that they were contributing to Alma Mater something dis- tinctly their own. The appreciation of the student body could always be gauged by the lusty cheers which always greeted the Band on its appearance at the games, and the attention which was given to their maneuvers between the halves. It was the knowledge of this appreciation which stirred the boys on through the late Friday evening rehearsals. A great amount of color in the band is added by the drum major. This year we had a great one in John Scola whose gyrations and tw-irlings were the center of all eyes.

The boy had a bu y year thi time and among other thing took on themselves something entirely new: the promotion of the one formal dance of the year. This year more than ever the Student council held an important place in the official life at Villanova. For most organizations through which student activi- ties functioned were kept in a pretty fluid state as more and more of their personnel were called away from college life to the armed service of the country. Class organization was thrown into confusion, though not into chaos, by the accelerated school program which graduated three sections a year instead of the usual two, and which sent men from Sophomore to Junior, Junior to Senior, Freshman to Sophomore in overlapping sections. Student Orientation and the student social pro- gram had to be maintained nevertheless, and the re- arrangement fell to the lot of this one constantly stable organization, and to its Moderator the Dean of Men acting in place of the usual Class and Society modera- tors. The voice of the entire student body could still be very well heard by this means for each graduating section, each fraternity, each society, and each campus organization had its duly elected or appointed mem- ber to sit in and vote in the Student Council’s session with their Moderator.

One fea- ture had to be given up, and it made the season a little unique: there were not two sections of Beta Gamma activity, Varsity and Freshman. The two were com- bined into one for intra-club and intercollegiate com- petition. Another missing feature was the member- ship in the Philadelphia Forensic League which did not function this year. Of course a third lacking cle- ment was the automobile trips of past years. Gas rationing and tire rationing put an end to that. Yet the boys managed to carry on and some trips were made by train over week-ends, though not as many as in past years. The season opened early in October and ran until April. As usual in this activity, the schedule was arranged as the year went on and different teams were heard from or written to. The informality of schedule making has the great advantage of giving to all mem- bers a chance to compete; for matches are arranged either at home or away according to the availability of competitors. A match can be scheduled for Tuesday night, for instance, if three of our members are free Tuesday night. The main point of the whole activity is to provide men with an opportunity for airing their views before opponents any time those opponents are available. In past years, and this year as well, audience interest at the college was not at a very high level, but the activity thrives just the same. This year the club was fortunate in having for its moderator Father Coffey, newly arrived from Catholic University where he had majored in the Speech Arts. His great interest was an added spark to the en- thusiasm of the members. There were radio debates in Philadelphia with Penn and Swarthmorc. There were intraclub debates, well attended and appreciated before the Rotary Club of Norristown. There was a trip to Scranton to debate Mater Misericordia at Dallas, and a week-end in New York featured by an evening debate at New Rochelle. The biggest affair of the year was the closing event of the Beta Gamma schedule when members from the debate societies of Haverford, Bryn Mawr, and Immaculata, came as guests to discuss the inter-racial question in America, with Beta Gamma members, be- fore a large audience in the Mendel amphitheatre. The meeting was presided over by a guest chairwoman from Philadelphia, interested in the Negro problem, and the audience was allowed to challenge statements after the formal speeches were concluded. This successful even- ing closed a very successful year. A great deal of the club's success was due to the joint efforts of Will Gagen as Chairman of the Society, and Tom Sullivan as Secretary.

In the first Belle Air the class of 22 held a Sophomore Soiree, so class sponsored dances go hack to at least 1919, if not earlier for they speak of it as somewhat of a tradition already. If class sponsored dances existed then, Frat promoted affairs must have been going too, as regular things, just at the end of World War one. With the construction of Alumni Hall in its present form what is now the old gym was the site of all the affairs held on the campus. This continued until the fire when the gym became a chemical lab and campus held dances were out for the time. Both formal and informal dances were held there though most of the bigger formal affairs like the traditional Junior Prom and Senior Ball were held off the campus usually at some Philadelphia Hotel. The present field House affords an ideal site for all college dances, formal and informal of any size whatever. N'O more af- fairs except two Dinner Dances. Junior and Senior are held off the college grounds. The gym was opened with a dance and the need for acoustic treatment was seen immediately. When this problem was solved the place became second to none in facility for big affairs. Frat dances. Class dances, the Junior Tea Dansant, and the two big formals arc all held there. Crowds keep getting bigger and bigger at the formal Junior and Senior dances. Probably the biggest crowd of all time came to the Junior Prom in 1941 when the late John Parson was live-wire chairman. The gym lends itself to elaborate decoration if sufficient money is forthcoming for the purpose, for the size of the place takes a lot of covering. Pictured below are some shots of the Senior Prom of the Class of 1940, which used as a theme for its decorations a winter carnival idea. Note the treed background of the general dancing pic- C ■ There was a certain poignancy which sharpened the gay atmosphere ® ® 1 0f the Senior Ball this year. The date had to be changed to January because of impending graduation. The shadow of the call to arms cast itself over the occasion for many of the boys were subject to call at any time. It was felt that it would be better if the one formal dance of the year IS cl I I were sponsored by the Student Council rather than by the Senior Class alone, since for so many other than seniors it would be the last affair at College. Jacques Mauch headed the committees. Decorations were cared for by Gene Barry and the senior engineers. The orchestra was in great form and willing to please. Every one present had the time of his (or her) life. Intermission always finds friends in groups. In the center picture it Student Council Chair- man Mauch.

Quicker travel by rail involved some slight embarrassment as top- hat, tails, and formal frocks clashed with the sight of oil-smudged slacks and overalls on train and trolley. In format I There were two informal dances this year, during the regular year: one the usual Sophomore Cotillion held in the Fall; the other, an Inter-fraternity Dance held in the Spring. The purpose of the Fall Dance is to initiate the Freshman Class to Villanova's social life. Biggest job of the committee is to secure dates for the green frosh who, except for the few, are unac- quainted as yet along the Main Line. There is much phone calling between Villanova and the local Catholic girls colleges. Rose- mont, Immaculta, and Chestnut Hill, in the promotion of transportation and pairing off. A new feature of our social life this last year was the mid-summer hop, put on by the Student Council as a diversion from the tough work of the accelerated program which kept the boys going from June till late September. The spring dance served a double purpose: it took the place of the individual fraternity dances, and it substi- tuted, in some way, for the usual Formal Junior Prom which war time speed made inadvisable this year. At all three affaire music was furnished by the Villanovans under Tex Carucci which specialised in the type of music the boys like best whether for rug-cutting or dreaming. Bill Craven did a great job of putting this new affair over. I) ances Fratern1!1© At Villanova there is really none of the Fraternity life such a is known to exist at other colleges and universities. No argu- ments about the merits or defects of the fraternity system which rage in the publications and student meetings at those colleges occur in Villanova papers or at Villanova gatherings. The administration has settled long ago on dormitory life as the student s life at our place here on the Main Line under direct supervision of her own counsellors. There is then strictly speaking, no “hell-week, no frantic- pledging, no public hazing, though there are pledges and initiations, . s part of the Fraternity life. The basis for division among the frats at Villanova is not social but scholastic; that is, a frat here is a club whose members are taken from the same collegiate department. It exists to promote among those members a spirit of unity, mutual aid, and fellowship among those who have in common the pursuit of the same kind of knowl- edge They exist also as units through which the professor and the student can come to know one another much better than through the mere formal contact of classroom acquaintance. One of the best features of frat life at Villanova is this purely social fellowship fostered between teacher and student on a man-to-man basis. The reason for the frat at Villanova being what it is, the history of them at the college, follows chronologically the establishment of the different schools. The oldest Frat is the Epsilon Phi Theta, whose members come from the Arts school. It was founded in 1902 as the result of the efforts of Fathers Hickey and Corcoran. It began as a movement among the students for the priesthood, to promote further interest in studies and extra-curricular activities, chiefly ath- letics. debate and drama. Since 1902, the fortunes of Epsilon Phi Theta have varied, and its existence has not been continuous. Twice it has been revived. In the late twenties it was at its height in numerical membership, having almost 150 on its rolls. The second oldest fraternity is composed of members from the .-econd oldest school, the Engineering School. It was founded in the sch x 1 year 1907-08, two years after engineering courses were intro- duced to Villanova's curriculum. It his had, as far as can be dis- covered, a continuous existence since, and without implying any invidious comparisons, can be said to be the most continually vigorous of all the fraternities. In existence since 1915, Lambda Kappa Delta, the Science School Frat, is the third oldest, and not the least active. Always a large factor in promoting stu- dent activity, it has recently taken on even new life, with its renewed initiations and smoker, and its annual outdoor picnic. With the founding of the C. F. School in 1920. a fourth fraternity was soon organised, which around 1926 had grown to be quite a force on the campus. But it died out as a factor in student life around 1928, to be revived just recently. Naturally enough, this scholastic year, beginning in October, activity in the fraternities was considerably curtailed on account of the War and the accompany' ing accelerated program. Biggest change was due to the decision of the administration to reduce the annual dances to the number of three, one formal and two informal. The individual frat dances then were ruled out and in their places was substituted the one Inter- fraternity Dance held in the Spring of the year. The committee of arrangements for this dance was com- DELTA PI EPSILON—Firtl Row: E. Smith, Dillon, Friel, B. Mciueck. J. Meehan, J. Green, L. Block, J. Cahill, S. Chaplar. Second Row: C. Rei . L.

Membership in a fraternity at Villanova is based on not only the social aspects of a student’s personality but also a certain minimum scholastic record of attain ment. The usual time for the induction of new mem- bers from incoming Freshmen is after the Mid year exams, and only those arc eligible for membership who have creditably acquitted themselves of those tests.

There followed two sessions at the University of Pennsyl- vania as joint meetings of their chapter and ours. Regular monthly sessions were held at Villanova where student lectures were given, accompanied by motion picture illustrations. There was a radical change in the by-laws of the society when the officials deemed it necessary to admit to membership Freshman and Sophomore candidates. The rapid advancement in class standing because of the accelerated program, led to this innovation. A.I.Ch.E. The Institute had a very active year. Besides the usual monthly meetings with lectures by members, there were two very interesting guest lecturers: Dr. Othmer, of Brooklyn Poly Tech, who talked on Plas- tics from Wood Distillation Products ; and Dr. Mol- stadt, of the University of Pennsylvania, who spoke on Engineering Economics.” There were four field trips taken to: E.

VILLANOVA...through tlie The actual history of sports at Villanova goes back as far as the late 1860 5 with the baseball team repre- senting the College playing outside competition. For instance in 1872 we beat the Radnor Farmers 103-9. Maybe something like cricket was being played. We played the Philadelphia Athletics the same year, and lost 51-30. An annual schedule of baseball in the Spring has been a feature of Villanova life ever since. At the turn of the century, for instance, the teams were powerful, despite shoddy work afield. In 1903 we opened against the A’s who had Chief Bender on the mound. Both teams had one earned run, but we made six errors and lost the game 7-1. We lost eleven out of seventeen that year and five of the defeats were due to errors. In 1904 the college Athletic Association sponsored a play, Sire and Son, by Alexander Dumas, in order to defray expenses of a road trip. In 1905, Villanova fielded one of its most powerful teams, winning 19 out of 24 Many newspapers commented on the quasi- professional polish of those Wildcats. A southern trip in the early spring to warmer climate used to begin the season in those days. years on tlie field of sports Forever associated with baseball more modern his- tory is the immortal Charlie McGechan who played on great teams in his student days and coached many equally great ones in his long tenure. MeGeehan's spirit carries on in the tutelage of Doc Jacobs who played under Charlie from '23- 27. Football began in 1894 when the Blue fielded a team which played and won two games. From then until now we have, except for one lapse, put a team on the field, and though there have been some very good teams, and some superlatively good individual players, through the years interest in and excellence in football had not equalled that of baseball, until the time of Father Griffin's presidency 1926' 1932. A full season six game schedule was played in 1895, when we won four and lost two. The next year we played and beat Fordham—for us a great victory. The game lapsed then until 1903, when J. Fred Crolius was signed as the first football coach, and a football renaissance began. Even though our statistical record is nothing to brag about—from '03 till '11 we won On the opposite page and on this are shown box scores of the very early games in our baseball history and one of the early trams, exact year unknown. Intercollegiate competition was not the rule. What the games were like we would not care to say, for scores seem to us to have been fabulous. Pop Anson played here against us in 1872, and even in that early day an ex-collegiate boy was playing with the professionals against us. Errors seem to have been plentiful as runs were numerous. 19 and lost 31—spirit and enthusiasm was at a height probably never reached since. Villanova was definitely at that time a very small school; yet she met Navy, Princeton, Penn, Army, and the great Carlisle Indians regularly, won a couple of games from such opponents and always gave them a great underdog tussle. Moose McCormick, a great center in those days, was good enough against such opposition to be picked “All- American by a committee of 100 sportswriters and coaches of the East, the other ten players being strictly “Ivy League. No group picture of those days shows a squad of more than eighteen men, and some show only twelve. Few games were played at home.

He was followed by Tom St. Germaine in 1914. In 1915 Dutch Somers took over, and it was his first year team which startled the eastern football world by beating Army on Hallowe'en, 16' 13. The score of that game was actually closer than the play for the papers say we completely outplayed the Cadets, and baffled them with a varied attack—for- ward passes, laterals, reverses, and finally the winning The three trams pictured here from top to bottom are respectively the teams of 1896, 1907, and 1915, all of them pretty successful, especially the 1915 one which (we have Left is the beloved Charlie McGrehan as he appeared just prior to his death.

A decline in football fortunes set in the next year. Army beat us 69-0. A season in 1923 when we lost every game and failed to score a point, was the climax. The college authorities, looking for help sent out to Notre Dame and secured Harry Stuhldreher as a coach From there on, football once more was on the ascend- ancy. Harry was succeeded by Clipper Smith in 1936, and he held the coaching job until 1942. The results of lx)th men's efforts put us once more in the national sports limelight.

Field Day at the College consisted in interclass track competition, with prep and college boys vying with each other.

Its presence gave great impetus to the sport, hut it has always been overshadowed by baseball, and has undergone long eclipses. In Father Delurcy’s time an annual field day on Mendel Field attracted large crowds. But there was little inter- collegiate competition until the late twenties, when James Meredith, was hired as coach. A schedule with smaller colleges was followed out under his regime. He was succeeded by Harry Coates, and he by Bob Reagan. Track really became big time under our own Jumbo Elliot, '36, himself a nationally prominent 440 man in his college days. Under him we were ad- mitted to the IC4A and to participate by invitation in the larger winter meets held annually in the metropoli- tan districts. Basketball still in its infancy as a sport was played at Villanova in 1910, and it lasted at least until 1914. Reason for the decline was not the unpopularity of the game but rather lack of facilities to play. The old gym, small in itself, afforded a minimum of playing R. A.

An intercollegiate schedule was played in 1910 Penn and St. John's of Brooklyn being among the opponents, but our home floor was (to put it mildly) uninviting and competition with outside teams did not survive. But in 1920, with the building of the “new gym basketball was reintroduced and immediately be- came “big-time.” Under Mike Saxe in those days we met and defeated our share of the major Eastern teams, and many a blistering game was played in what is now the “small gym used only for intramurals.

The hockey team here shown played and practiced in the early 30’� at the Arena in Philadelphia, and competed in the short-lived league composed of college and amateur tram from the vicinity of Philadelphia. Boy from New England were most enthusiastic for the sport. Below is the last of our boxing trams, 1939. Highlights of their season was a trip to the University of Wisconsin to compete before 11,000 people, against that college. Coach Ray Gadsby, himself a well-known amateur fighter, is on the right. This U the team which competed in Clipper Smith's firit season as coach. It lost two {tames to our arch rivals, Bucknell and Temple, both by scores of 6-0. Invited to compete in a post-season came at Havana, Cuba, the boys went down there to play during the Christmas holidays. A scoreless tic with Auburn was the result. Playing conditions were not ideal chiefly on account of the heat, but the boys had a great time on the trip, especially enjoying the flight from Miami to Havana in a Pan-American Clipper. Minor sports flourished during the period beginning about 1925, when intercollegiate schedules began to be arranged in golf and tennis. Under Father Driscoll, boxing gained some prominence, and it continued until being dropped in 1939. Two of its most famous com- petitors were Tommy O'Malley 1924, and Tony Sala 1937, who became intercollegiate 175-lb. champion. In Father Griffin's time Ice Hockey held sway in the winter season for short time. Swimming came into minor prominence with the building of the p x l in 1932, and regular schedules were followed until this year. In Father Sanford's time lightweight or 150-lb. football was firmly set up when we were admitted to the E.I.F.A. league in competition with Cornell, Yale, Princeton, Penn, Rutgers, Lafayette. Our best season in this league was in 1940 when we won four and lost two. In all her history of major sports since baseball began in 1869, since football started in 1894, and basketball in 1921, the names of her stars have been almost legion. College men of today have unfortunately the unhappy faculty of thinking that no one equals in talent on the athletic field the boys of the last few years; but the truth is that the men of the late 19th and the early 20th century were just as good, and excelled under conditions far removed from the ideal set-ups under which todays men compete. Villanova has a great athletic standing today in the intercollegiate world; but such fame is not a new thing with her. She was a feared and respected opponent long ago. The basketball team of the 1938-39 season, wa one of Severance’s best, winning 19 out of 23. It was the last team to date to compete at Convention Hall in the double- headers there. Beaten only by Illinois, I.oyola of Chicago, DePaul of Chicago, and St. John’s of Brooklyn, we were at the end of the season selected by the N.C.A.A. to rep- resent the Middle Atlantic region. In the final of that playoff we lost to Ohio State 53-36. THE WILDCATS SCHEDULE They We Oct. 10...Manhattan Beach C.

With three former Alb Americans in their lineup, however, the Coast Guard aggregation begins to go places forward passing and they come up with another touchdown before the end of the half. The try for the extra point is good this time and Villanova is on the short end of a 13-7 count. Uncle Sam’s Boys Too (food After a mere three weeks of practice the Wildcats meet their first opponents, the Coast Guard team from Manhattan Beach, N. Y., on the night of October 10th, before 18,000 spectators in illuminated Shibc Park The Blue and White team starts cautiously, and before they awaken to the fact that they are in their first contest, the Coast Guard eleven completes a 38 yard aerial and leads Villanova, 6-0. The Main Liners strike back, however, and with AI Postus doing most of the ball carrying, score a moment after the second quarter begins; sophomore Lou Lopez goes off tackle for a touchdown. Konopka Coast Guard Jarina dumped heavily by Roy Erickson. I.eader of snappy CG band. A slap on (hr back for I.opez who hat just scored. The teams reappear on the field, and Villanova kicks off to the goal line. This doesn't retard the Manhat- tan Beach club for long. They arc in scoring position a few minutes later. Charlie Vaughn, the ex-Ten- ncssec All-American, who has been heaving deadly passes for the Guards all evening, throws another per- fect strike to his left wingman, Lavcrnc Astroth, who catches the ball on the eleven, and goes over for the third six-pointer. Behind 20-7, as a result of the conversion, the Cats” fight back determinedly, and succeed in shaking A1 Postus loose for a touchdown near the end of the game to make the final score 20-13. Although beaten, the Wildcats have been a great surprise to the followers. Statistics show that they have outrushed the Coast Guard aggregation by 48 yards. Their offense shows great promise, and indicates greater success in the future. A flood down in Richmond, Virginia, retards the Florida Gators for twenty-four hours, hut the South- erners Anally do arrive early Saturday morning; the contest takes place, a day late, in Shibc Park on Satur- day evening. The Gators make things look none too bright for the Wildcats in the opening minutes of play and the opposing line breaks through to block AI Postus' quick- kick, and to recover on our nine yard line. With the spirit which makes the Villanova athletic teams famous, however, the Gators arc repulsed on three attempts through the line for no gain. On the fourth down, the Southerners’ placement specialist enter the fray and kicks a field goal to put the Main Liners behind by three points. Villanova threatens their opponent's goal line a few minutes later, but they arc stopped deep in Florida territory, and the half ends with no further score. Clipper talks to the boys during the half, and in the middle of the third quarter their offense begins to click. With Postus, Smith and Zamlynski doing the carrying the Main Liners put the ball on the Florida 21. Here, the Gators arc penalised fifteen yards for holding and the ball down on the six yard line. Postus then goes to the one, and two plays later is over for a touchdown. Konopka's kick is wide, and Villanova is ahead 6-3. Play seesaws back and forth for the next ten min- utes, when Florida, in desperation, begins to pass. Our Johnny Dzitko, leaps high into the air, snares one of the forwards, and gets it to the opponent’s 31 before he is downed. Joe Pczelski then carries the Kali down the left side of the line for thirty yards to put the ball on the one. The home team is the victim of a tough break as the play is called Kick, and Villanova suffers a fifteen yard penalty. Not to be denied, the Wild- cats shake Zamlynski into the clear from the 46, two plays later, and he goes all the way over with five seconds remaining. The conversion is good and Villa- nova maintains its supremacy over the Gators 13-3. 213 Left: A long gain. Christman taking a pass from Postus, starts downficld with Steve Pritko in front of him.

Tli «11 Southern Jinx Again Traveling all the way to Montgomery, Alabama, the Wildcats enter the fray against the powerful Au- burn Plainsmen on the short end of the odds. Villa- nova kicks off, and scarcely a moment later, on the fourth play of the game, the Plainsmen shake their star halfback. Monk Gafford, loose around right end for fifty yards and a touchdown. Chateau's try for the extra point is good and we trail, 7-0. Villanova can do nothing when it receives the ball on the kick-off and is forced to kick. As the second quarter opens, Gafford again sparks a drive which ends with teammate Jim Reynolds plunging over from the four yard line. The extra point is again good and Auburn leads 14-0. Clipper Smith's boys begin the third period with all the earnestness of a team determined to go places. Fleet-footed Joe Pczclski tucks Chateau's kickoff under his arm on the 5, and goes to midfield stripe before he is stopped by a whole host of aggressive Plainsmen. George Smith follows this brilliant runback with a plunge through the center of Auburn's line to the 25. Another plunge puts the ball on the 15, but then a fumble gives the Kill to Auburn on the 20. They kick out of danger, and the determined Wildcats start Grorge Smith receive Uti minute order from the board of strategy before going back into the game. Clipper always substitutes frequently when the going is tough. 214 .«II over again. A pass and a sweep around right end puts the ball on the 7, but Auburn holds grimlv and another thrust is repulsed. Finally in the fourth quarter, we give the Auburn fans something to gasp about, as Postus, on a fake double reverse, fades back and rifles a thirty yard pass to the freshman end Milt Anderson who has sped un- noticed down the left sideline. Anderson runs the remaining twenty yards to the goal line. Although both Postus and Zamlynski intercept Au- burn aerials m the remaining minutes, the Wildcats can t get another drive started, and the whistle ends the game with the score 14-6 in favor of the Plains- men. Fir� t half goaMinc stand. Gildca and Zamfynski pile up a Jasper back on the seven yard line. Smith sits down comfortably near the Manhattan goal after snaring a pass from Postus. Much Better Than in ’41 Oops! A fumble; and alert center Art Alois recovers for Villanova in the shadow of our own goal. The game turned at this point and the Kelly Green threatened no more. With two defeats and a lone victory to their credit, the underdog Wildcats enter their next game deter' mined to upset Manhattan. More than that, they are seeking revenge over the team which upset them in New York last year. Fresh from a victory over the highly touted Duquesnc eleven, the Jaspers have com trol of the Kali for the first nine minutes of the then one-sided battle. Manhattan then got a first down on the 2 yard line and failed to put the Kail across the final stripe. A few minutes later they were on the seven, hut again they failed. Then the Wildcats started to roll. Midway in the second period, after a Manhattan field goal attempt is wide, AI Postus crashes off tackle and streaks seventy-nine yards down the sidelines for the first score of the game. Joe Pezelski’s try for the extra point is good, and Villanova leads, 7-0. As the second half opens the Cats give evidence that they are going to pick up where they left off in the second quarter. After an alert interception by Roy Ericson, a pass to Dzitko, and a thirteen yard gain by Pcselski. Postus fades to the Manhattan 30 and throws a perfect strike into the waiting arms of right end Milt Anderson in the end zone. A few minutes later, after a fifteen yard penalty set Manhattan back on its 14, a bad pass from center eludes the Jasper tailback and wide-awake Jim Harkins falls on the elusive pigskin in the end zone to give the Wildcats its third touchdown. Vinnic Carlesimo gets into the limelight in this pe- riod when he blocks his second kick of the game, and it is recovered in the end zone by Anderson to give Villanova a 25-0 lead. The whistle ends the contest and the happy Villa- nova rooters swarm on the field and congratulate the team that looked better that day than any Villanova team has in the past two years. Illllllllllllllilllllll I Offense in Hifjh Gear We meet a new opponent—the Cyclones of Iowa State come into Shibe Park on a damp Friday night to meet the high geared Wildcats. With a none too impressive record up to this point, the Westerners are not expected to give the team that heat Manhattan 32-0 too much trouble. A few minutes after the open- ing whistle, alert Bill Sullivan recovers a fumble on the Cyclones’ forty-two yard line. AI Postus fades back and hurls a twenty-five yard pass to Steve Pritko, who goes over standing up to put Villanova in the lead. Joe Pczclski puts a perfect placement between the uprights and the score is 7-0. But the Cyclones arc undaunted by this lightning like offensive thrust, and they strike back with vengeance. They go first to the Villanova 3 before they are re- pulsed. Pritko kicks out from the end zone and with beautiful downfield blocking. Royal Lohry, captain of the Iowa State eleven, brings the Kill back to the twelve yard line. This time the Staters arc not to be denied, and fullback Paul Darling plunges over from the one foot line. The versatile Mr. Darling also kicks the extra point and the score is tied 7-7. On the ensuing kickoff Postus brings the ball hack to the Villanova 25, and eleven plays later passes to Sullivan in the end zone for six more points. In the second period. Postus, seeing no receiver, takes the pigskin around left end and runs ten yards to another score. Halted on an early drive in the third period, the Main Liners, with Postus again pitching perfect strikes, reach the Iowa State 2, where A1 goes off right tackle for his second touchdown of the day. Blue and White substitutes enter the fray in the final quarter. Sophomore Tom McCarthy goes through the center of the Cyclone line for seventy-three and a touchdown, and Villanova is victorious 32-7.

Gus Dorais’ men have had two weeks’ rest and are ready for the Main Liners. The Titans strike quickly in the opening period when their line breaks through to tackle Steve Pritko in the end zone and score 2 points. Villanova then kicks from the twenty yard line. With “Tippy” Madarick, star halfback, doing most of the ballcarrying, the powerful Titans cross the Wildcat goal line a few minutes later. Hart kicks the extra point, and Detroit leads 9-0. Villanova can do nothing in the way of offense and is forced to kick repeatedly from inside its own forty yard line. The half ends with no further scoring. Villanova kicks off to open the second half, and after an exchange of kicks, Madarick again sparks an offensive which gets to the Wildcat eight yard line. Patiently waiting for the Wildcat offensive to get rolling, Villanova rooters arc disappointed time and time again as Postus and Co. seem to he having an off day. Nothing clicks. The team which looked so powerful in its two previous games looks destined for defeat on this mid'November afternoon. Villanova finally does start a drive late in the fourth quarter as Postus and Zamlynski team up for three first downs in succession. Postus then passes to Joe Koproski on the Detroit 32, hut the drive is stymied at that point as the referee’s whistle ends the game. Clipper goes across the field to congratulate his feh low Notre Dame Alumnus on his well deserved victory. A ditm.il showing at Detroit occasioned a re- study of techniques. Here you see the boys in the classroom ith Prof. Smith lecturing. Kulptnont Joe about to get smacked down by a headlong tackle just before the end of the first half. The game was a big disappointment after the showings previously. Off day” well evidenced by lack of blockers in this wide shot of the field. Leg muscles ripple as this Duquesne back— typical hard runner—starts through the Villa- nova line for an appreciable gain in the early third quarter. Flying leg block kept Steve Pritko from getting a shot at his man. Tliree Vear ‘Duke’ Supremacy 20,000 fans jam Shibe Park on the chilly November afternoon when the Dukes of Duquesne and the Wild- cats of Villanova meet. Neither team’s record is too impressive but this doesn’t take away from the fact that a game between these two clubs is always a thrill- ing one to watch. Villanova keeps the ball in Duquesne territory for most of the first period but is not able to penetrate the Duquesne 20. The second quarter show-s a sharp reversal of form, however, as the Dukes using their deceptive hokus-pokus to perfection, dominate the play. Highlighting this offensive barrage is the light- ning-like dash of Forrest Hall around right end for what eventually proved to be the only touchdown of the game. A substitute halfback. Hall receives the ball on a fake reverse and goes fifty-nine yards to the touch- down. Freshman center Art Alois blocks the extra point attempt and the Blue and White trails 6-0 at halftime. Though we try to end the two year reign of the Pittsburghers, the Wildcats find themselves impotent against the powerful Red and Black line, especially the twb tackles. Captain Joe Goode, halfback, and star punter of the Duquesne eleven continually puts us in the hole with long punts, two of which go out of bounds on the eleven and five yard lines, respectively, and another stops on the Wildcat one. For a brief moment in the final period Main Line rooters think Villanova is away for a touchdown when George Smith laterals to Johnny Dzitko, who gets in the clear only to slip and fall on the Duquesne 25. But the play is called back, anyhow. The referee rules that Smith was down before he latcraled to Dzitko and the Wildcats are forced to kick from their own 30. The game ends a moment later and Duquesne has conquered Villanova for the third consecutive year. I The boys who do handsprings and handclaps whether the going be tough or smooth.

Tlie Rally Student spirit is at fever pitch on the eve of the all- important Temple game, even though the hall decora- tions had to be cancelled because of the war. The band parades around Mendel Oval followed by a host of cheering students. Then, everyone goes to the gym where “Jake” Mauch, Student Council Chairman, con- ducts the evening’s activities. A letter of encourage- ment from Perry Lewis, Inquirer Sports Reporter, who has covered Villanova throughout the season is read, and then Fr. McGuire, popular Vice-President and Moderator of Athletics, makes a short speech. Next on the program is the principal speaker of the evening, Jordan Olivar, former grid luminary, and at present a very successful football coach at one of Philadelphia's leading high schools. After an address by Olivar the pent up spirit of the student body begins to show itself as the cry of Get the team up on the stage” is heard. The squad finally does go up on the platform, and AI Postus, George Smith, and Steve Pritko, the game captain of the Temple contest this fall, tell the students how they’re sure that Villanova will take Temple on the following afternoon. Coach Clipper Smith, speaking informally, tells how he thinks Villanova will win, and how he hopes that the squad will play as hard for Uncle Sam as they have for him this year, whether they win, lose, or draw against the Owls. Tlie Game Past records arc forgotten on this late November afternoon, as Philadelphia’s intra-city rivals come face to face once again. Game-Captain Steve Pritko wins the toss from Temple’s leader and elects to kick off. Six minutes after this opening kickoff, Roy Ericson, left guard of the Wildcat eleven, breaks through the Temple forward wall and blocks Jimmy Woodside’s punt. From the other guard post. Tommy Gildca, picks up the bouncing pigskin and crosses the Owl goal line for the first touchdown of the day. The try for the extra point is blocked by a charging Temple linesman, and Wildcat rooters, remembering last year’s one point defeat, fear that the missed extra point might prove fatal. Their fears are soon allayed a few minutes later when AI Postus, after passing to Joe Pezclski who gets to the Owl 13, goes off tackle for the second Villanova score. This time Gene Konopka’s kick is good and the Main Liners lead their Broad Street rivals 13-0. 219 Temple — PAST RECORDS TEMPLE VILLANOVA 0 1928 0 0 1929 15 7 1930 8 13 1931 7 0 1932 7 0 1933 24 22 .. 1934 0 14 1935 21 The pre-game formalities. Game captain Pritko meets the officials and the Temple captain. The bright sun makes it a little warm but otherwise the day is ideal. The Band salutes the rooters of Temple. The neat Stadium of Temple lends itself very nicely to the appreciation of spectacle, and many clever acts are put on by the Broad Street school to entertain The Blue and White shake Pezelski loose on an 80 yard gallop to a third touchdown after the second period begins, only to have the referee call the play Kick to the Temple 10, and penalize the Wildcats fif- teen yards from that point, for clipping. Nothing daunted, Pezelski and Smith reach the 3, and Smith goes over for Villanova's third touchdown. The extra point attempt is again successful, and the score is 20-0. Temple manages to get its bearings late in the same period, and on a tricky end around play that reaches the Cat 18. A slash off tackle by Sophomore Joe Ncjman running from a spread formation, gets the ball over. Temple's boot is good and the score is 20-7 as the half ends.

Storie of bitter rivalry between the two school are mostly imaginary. Temple’s V between the halves and our T” are more really characteristic. Temple's sophomore star, Indian Joe Nejman, hurdles Roy Ericson who is partially blocked out. George Smith comes up fast to pin Joe down finally. Surprising everyone with a continued offensive surge in the third quarter, the Owls reach the Wildcat’s 10 yard line on three different occasions, but cannot fur ther penetrate the Villanova defense. The fourth stanza is all Villanova. Pezelski runs the Temple defense dizzy but costly fumbles continually ruin further touchdown opportunities. Ziggie Zanv lynski snares a Temple aerial in the final seconds on his own 35, and races down the sidelines for what appears to be a fourth Wildcat touchdown, but is hit out of bounds on the 20 by the last Temple defender. Capt. Pritko proudly picks up the Kill, and leads his vie torious eleven off the field. The goal posts crash to earth in the background. An anxious moment as a Temple touchdown thrust fails.

Doc Jacobs and Father Sullivan, new coaches, gather on the gridiron with thirty-two spirited candidates, looking toward another 150 pound football season. The coaches have a difficult job ahead of them. Villanova's offensive hopes arc centered around Jack McManus, a speedy and shifty back, while on the line. Captain Joe Carbine is expected to bear the brunt of the defensive burden for the Kittens. Tony Paruta is at quarterback, George Famiglctti, converted guard, is playing center, and Jim Cahill is at fullback. These five are the only regulars returning to the lightweight eleven. Princeton comes down for the first time. They receive the opening kickoff and immediately drive to the Wildcat's six yard line. A straight buck through center gives the Orange and Black its initial tally a moment later. The extra point is good and the Tigers lead, 7-0. Standing: Fr.

The experienced Prince ton Lightweights go to town in the second half, and trounce the hapless home team, 44-0. The Lightweights are far from discouraged however, for there is another game two weeks away with Rut gers, and they make up their minds to regain the favor of the student body in that contest. Diligent practice in the next fortnight greatly improves the squad and spirit is running high, as the squad entrains for New Brunswick, N. J., to meet a favored Scarlet eleven. Jim Cahill is to hold down the tail back slot in this contest, as McManus is lost to the team. Rutgers wins the toss and decides to kick off. As the quarter draws to a close, Connolly, Rutgers’ back, kicks out of bounds on the Villanova own ten yard stripe. On the third Villanova play, with four yards to go for the first down, the Kill is centered over Cahill’s head and out of the end zone, as Rutgers draws first blood, to go ahead 2 0. The Cats now become very much aroused. Cahill takes the ball on the twenty and races it back to the forty yard line. Two strong side plunges net the Kit- tens seven yards. Then Cahill, taking the Kail from center, cuts off his own right tackle, dodges two men and races fifty-seven yards for a touchdown. Burns kicks the extra point and Villanova leads, 7-2. Rut- gers is impotent from that point on and the Blue and White aggregation is the victor. A week later the big Red of Cornell move into Villanova stadium. The Lightweights arc intent on making it two in a row. However, as the first half nears its end, Joe Williams, the hard running Cornell fullRtck, breaks loose to the four yard line. After a line buck fails, Williams carries the ball over on a spinner for what later proves to be the winning score The final game of the season is with Penn. Penn scores in the first quarter when the over-anxious Cats fumble on their own twenty-three yard line. Worth- ington, taking the Kail on a tricky reverse, scores on the fourth play. More attempts to kick the extra point but Joe Carbine breaks through and blocks the boot. In vain the Wildcats plug away at the tough Penn for- ward wall, giving everything to try to snatch a final victory. But the Kittens walk off the field defeated. A more willing group never played a 150 schedule. Lack of offensive experience hurt most. A touchdown and extra point in each of the last two games would have made it three and one instead of one and three for the season.

The Brooklyn game had promised to be one of the seasons best, until Brooklyn draft boards filled necessary quotas from the College's first ten men. Our streak is at eleven games when a high scoring, court-wise and aggressive Manhattan Beach Coast Guard team puts an end to it. Following up their defeat of us in football, they outlast our boys 71-56 in a free scoring shoot-thc-works thriller. Nothing daunted. Severance’s well coached squad bounces back to chalk up three wins in four days over the following week-end. Siena, Rider, and Scranton fall before the recovered power of the Blue and White five by comfortable margins. Bill Wood is hot in the Siena game getting 27 of his team’s 62 points. The new streak runs to five games when we repeat victories in return games with Loyola of Baltimore and Scranton away, 51-29, and 61-40. But gloom has settled on the squad.

Burns starts to drive through after passing to Wood. If the Brooklyn man in the center takes Burns, Woo-woo is all ready for his specialty, a back court set shot. the two teams can compete at full strength. But our boys can't put their hearts into the contest. It's a pretty hapless Villanova club that goes down for the second time in the season to a surprised Seton Hall team 39-29, and Bob Kelty himself had thirteen of the twenty-nine. The next morning the boys say good- bye to the three Army men who had done such great work in winning sixteen out of eighteen. The next three games do great credit to Severance and his reserves. Reynolds, Frascella, and Kodish do more than capably for the departed regulars. We heat Gettysburg again 71-51, smother the newly formed F. M. Air Cadets 46-22, and the season’s curtain comes down with a victory over Muhlenburg 50-40. The total ledger reads 19 to the good, and two in the red. Wood, absent from the three last games, is never- theless high man on the offense for the season with 221 points. Drizen has 211, Kelty 190.

Baseball Between the ordinary losses from graduation and the demands of Uncle Sam's Army, only three men arc left from among those who were letter men last year. This year is our seventy fourth in baseball and hopes for a good season arc pretty slim. Joe Koproski, slugging outfielder, Frank Chaplar, pitcher, and Bill Smith pitcher and outfielder are the returning letter men. After two weeks of workout indoors. Smith is called too by his draft board and departs leaving only memories of his .429 batting average behind him. The job of assembling a crack diamond outfit from ma- terial at hand is even harder. Things perk up a little however, after a few weeks of outdoor work when George Warner and Gene Adair, two unheralded prospects, team up to form a pretty good second base combination. Bill Sullivan, junior end on the football team, clinches third base by sheer willingness to learn, and AI Postus, another footballer, looks rather adequate at first after he is Knrelittt: Shahood, Warner, Mihalek, Burns, Pezelski, Carter. Sitting: Mr. Jacobs, McCarthy, Craikoski, Chaplar, Horan, I.afferty, Cxarnecki, Breen, Mamzic, Lopez, Brannigan. Standing: Boyd, Postus, Adair, Wcincrt, Koproski. Dzitko, Koerner, Corr, Sullivan. shifted from short to make room for Warner. Sophomore Joe Mihalek becomes a safe bet for the catching job. Joe Koproski is naturally in center, and the other outfield berths arc to be decided between Joe Pezelski, George Shahood, Lou Lopez, and John Dzitko. Frank Chaplar is the number one mounds- man. Untried Jim Laffcrty and Gene Weincrt are to relieve. The schedule will be brief because of early gradu- ation and curtailed transportation. Penn State with a good team is our first opponent and the game is at home. The Nittany Lions nose us out in twelve in- nings 3-2. Chaplar breaks his heart over the long route, pitching great ball, but goes down gamely at last the victim of two unearned runs, nobody's fault in particular, though we display as might be expected little hitting strength. On the following Saturday, Chaplar again takes the mound for the Blue and White, this time against Manhattan. Again he pitches a masterful game as he had against State, and this time we do a good hitting job and beat our rival from the Big Town 7-2. Seven days later we travel to New York for our annual May Day game with Fordham; the game is a disaster to us, 13-2. One scheduled game with Lehigh has been washed out at home, but we get a clear day to go up to Bethlehem to play the Engineers there. This time Red Lafferty the untried Freshman has himself a day, limits Lehigh to six hits and we wan 5-3. On the following Thursday we oppose Penn in town at River Field in another annual fixture. The Quakers are at the time leading the Intercollegiate League, but the Blue and White manages to down them 6-5. Chaplar is especially effective in the pinches. The season winds up with the next game when Muhlenburg comes down on May 15th. Lafferty is on the hill from beginning to the end going steadily and chalks up his second win in two starts 3-2. The two upper shots show Bill Sullivan, erstwhile foot- baller, doing his stuff on the diamond; he cuts nice and quare to send one down the line. Just below, he is seen pulling in to first base just a little too late despite his hustle. The third shot shows George Shahood scampering safely •f a little awkwardly back to first, just beating a snap throw. The bottom picture gives us the back of catcher Mihalek “ho, though no footballer, can put a very effective block on the home plate. Frank Chaplar running up, appreciates it. We thought that these pictures of the mile relay team’s victory in the class B” relay at the Penn meet were too good to forego even though the race was run in 1942. The team that ran was composed of three juniors and a senior and gave us great hopes of repeating in class A” in ’4J. But the demands of War Manpower Commission and the draft boards decided otherwise. On the extreme right is the start of the run with George Guida third from the right. f rack Jumbo Elliot, Alumnus coach, is one of the first to answer the Navy's call for Athletic Officers, and Dixie Dunbar, star quarter mile man, has enlisted in the Merchant Marine, so Villanova’s track team starts the season with prospects none too bright. Veteran Johnny DiCarlo is elected Captain of the squad and two weeks later is appointed by Father McGuire the Athletic Moderator to fill in as student Coach. So the boys under Johnny's direction and with oodles of enthusiasm and cooperation, start training in mid-October by running the campus cross-country course and holding trail sprints. After three months diligent training a quarter-mile quartette to run a mile relay throughout the winter season is selected. Its members are: George Guida, Dutch McCarthy, Bob O’Sullivan, and DiCarlo. They face their first test in the Millrosc games at Madison Square Garden on the night of February 6th, and score a surprisingly easy victor ' in the feature relay event defeating Holy Cross, Boston College, and Manhattan. Their time is the best of the evening, being two seconds faster than any other team in the other heats: 3.24.8. They bring home to the trophy room a nice loving cup. Two weeks later, in the New York A.C. games at the same Garden they run against Scton Hall and Georgetown and score a comparatively close win. They arc clocked in 3.23.1. Four days later a heavy blow falls on our seasons outlook, Coach and Captain DiCarlo is taken into the active list of the Army Enlisted Reserve. Senior Harry Keefrider who is normally a distance man, jumps into the gap, and takes over both functions of the departed Johnny. The following Saturday night this quartette goes to New York again to com pete in the National A.A.U. meet. The sudden change of personnel actually seems to have little effect as we maintain a front position, but on the Eighth Avc.. tum. Bob O Sullivan now running anchor, is jostled off stride and we have to be satisfied with a third. Scton Hall wins in the time: 3.23.3, which is not quite up to our recent time. In its fourth Big City appearance this time for the I.C. 4A games, we can do no better than third again as this time Fordham wins the event. But in the Knights of Columbus games which sees the Wildcat four in New York for the fifth time indoors, we re- gain winning form and turn the tables on Fordham Beating them by a good couple of yards. Between these races the boys had been down to the Catholic U games in Washington. Two weeks later they make a trip to the K of C games in Cleveland where this time Fordham again defeats us to wind up our in- door season. Transportation problems, and the uncertainty of team personnel, curtails the outdoor season pretty seriously. We run in a dual meet against Navy at Annapolis, where we are losers 88-38, being out- manned by the Middies. George Guida has a great day winning both the “100 and the “220 yard events. Dutch McCarthy wins the 880 and Bill 230 Second picture in the panel show Guida passing the baton to Bill Hooper after finishing fourth. Next panel shows Hooper finishing third and handing over to Bob O'Sullivan who churns around in good time to get into second place behind the leader from Syracuse. Dixie Dunbar’s start in the final lap looks pretty dynamic, and it was: he ran a 49.8 quarter and came in with a yard lead. Lillicnth.il takes the discus, but the Navy boys have too many second and thirds and too many men in the field events. Just two days before the Penn relays where we ex- pect to repeat our victory of last year. Bob O'Sullivan pulls up lame in a practice session. An examination reveals a severe strain. Our hopes thus dashed, we wind up a very poor eighth in the mile Relay. A Freshman quartette.

Guida in the mean- time has left school. So with a team comprised of Tom Kicly, Ed Fitzgerald. McCarthy, and Keefrider we finish a very good third in the mile Relay behind N.Y.U. and Georgetown. Running in that race is only one man of the original four, and their showing is a great tribute to Keefrider and the boys who fol- lowed him so loyally. Keefrider, Coleman, Guida, O'Sullivan. Missing from the picture are: Dutch McCarthy, quarter- miter, and Bill Lillienthal, weight man. Warm, sunny, summer days were ideal for out- door exercise. In rainy weather the classes were moved inside on the spacious gym floor. Something new was added to the dail) school life of the Villanovan in the first sum racr term in 1942. It became increasingly evi- dent that it was the job of every college tc prepare its student for a war time future not only mentally and spiritually, but physically as well. In May of ‘42, John B. Kelly, National Director of Physical Fitness, came to Villanova and addressed the boys on the necessity of being ready. The job of instituting a definite physical program was taken over by the Ath- letic staff headed by “Clipper” Smith. With an intense enthusiasm characteristic of him, and with equally characteristic thorough plan ning, Clipper took over, and using a basic cal- isthenics course for a start, soon had devised advanced methods of training which made the Villanova system a model for Eastern schools. Two periods a week were required of every student, not legitimately excused. The first twenty minutes of the time was spent in calis- The panel to the left illustrates the water hole jump after the run up the ramp.

Games were diversified; softball, touch football, volleyball, basketball, pushball, and mass wrestling. The obstacle course consisted in a run around the inside perimeter of the stadium's cinder track, where the contestant was faced with a couple of low hurdles, an eight-foot wall to be scaled, a fifteen-foot fence to be climbed, a short ramp leading up to a twelve-foot jump over a water hole, the length of a felled pole to be run along at full speed and full balance, and a few other simpler diffi- culties, like the flying rope jump and the run- ning crawl and the overhand grapple. Time tests and team competition added zest to the grind. The boys moaned a lot (and some limped a lot) but really were quietly pleased with the diversion and sometimes amazed at the results of their own continual efforts.

Engraved on it are only three names: Austin Hall. Alumni Hall, and Mendel Hall. Alumni, first winners, have just this year managed to oust Austin. It has been in competition for eleven years. As noivintcrcollcgiatc student sport, intramurals have always had a big place in Villanova life. Nor is the organisation of this type of athletic activity for the student anything new on the campus. Interclass games go back at least to the early 1900‘s as old printed programs show on previous sport history pages. But mostly, contests were occasional. Throughout the twenties competition existed chiefly in the games of baseball, basketball, football, and ten- nis. In the early days it was baseball and track, and class was the basis for division into teams. Through' out the twenties, competition spread to the games of football, tennis, and basketball. The basis for divided rivalries were the fraternities and clubs. With the building of the stadium and the field house on the East end of the Campus, intramural sports re' ccived a big impetus, for these two facilities devoted chiefly though not exclusively to Varsity sport, left Mendel Field and the “old” gym free to the occasional participant in less severe games. When the Prep was moved to Malvern, another field was available in front of Austin Hall. And so, with greater facilities at hand, greater or' ganization was possible and necessary. The building of the Field House stimulated interest in swimming and boxing. The transfer of the old Green House and potato patch in back of Saint Mary's gave an impetus to golf. Long time enthu iast for the fortunes of Alumni is F ather Dunne (left). His biggest job was initiat- ing Freshmen into the seriousness of intramural rivalry, especially against Austin Hall. Fedigan Hall under Father Sullivan won two basketball championships in ’39 and ’40. Here is an old picture of him pressuring two temporarily benched stalwarts who don't look too impressed. The eight tennis courts above were built after the fire of 1928 when Fcdigan Hall was erected on the site of the old courts. They are the scene of much activity in the Autumn and Spring. On the right is a varsity tennis team of the not too distant past. The team is recruited from the best of those completing the annual intramural tournament and is coached and captained by the senior competitor. In the thirties, the competition was based on an inter-hall principle rather than on class or frat. A regular allotment of money for equipment was made available from the student activity fund. A modera- tor was appointed to supervise seasonal activity and arrange schedules. Today the program has a backbone of basketball and softball schedules which run through the winter and spring. Tennis and Golf are spring and fall sports, tennis runs in tournament form and golf in a one day medal competition. Swimming has a one night stand early in December; Boxing likewise in the mid-winter after a supervised period of training. Touch football has never been pursued with much seriousness. Track once very popular has been aban- doned because it demanded too rigid a training period. A candid camera fan sneaked thi one above of Father Dunne yelling impotently about a decision which went for Father McKee’� Austin team. The golf tournament used to be played at the Main Line course in Radnor. One day was reserved and regardless of weather it went through. The boys below are puzzling out a couple of stormy weather shots. The boys always did their own bag toting and flag holding, when they couldn’t afford to pay some enterpris- ing Freshman to do so. Play was always serious for Var- sity candidates came from the tournament. Summer twilight baseball was quite a success from the standpoint of student and Faculty interest. Fathers Kemme and Crawford applaud a good play, while on the bench Fathers McKee and Dunne (next to Jack Koval) have a more technical interest. Students particularly liked the casual campus atmosphere of the after supper contests, a nice relief after a hot day in a lab. Baseball In normal years Villanova students enthusiastically support a very well organized program of sports for all. This routine schedule of intramural competition in all kinds of athletics is aimed at taking care of the Villanovan who docs not have the time, inclination, or ability to take advantage of the Varsity and inter collegiate brand of physical contest. With the chang- ing seasons golf, tennis, touch football, basketball, swim- ming, boxing, softball, baseball, hold their various sway. Even in the non-athlctic field this inter-hall competition has place, because once a year under the intramural directors, boys get a chance to display what entertaining talent they had in the annual Amateur Night. The work of organizing this activity falls upon the willing and interested shoulders of Father McKee and Father Dunne, assisted by a picked committee of three students on N.Y.A. time The intramural program, most actively supported of all the extra-curricular, provides each competitor with full equipment and regular and regulated partici- pation in physical activity on a large scale which must necessarily be atforded on a campus where nearly a thousand active young men live together. Over five hundred fellows take active part in at least one of the sports, and it’s a rare boy who doesn't take at least a passive interest. In the twilight of a warm evening in late spring or summer residents adjourn practically in a body after Chapel to the playing field in back of Mendel Hall to witness a hotly disputed game between the hall teams. The program is one really by, for, and of the students, for officials of all games come from the student body. Each team has a faculty moderator whose greatest char- acteristic is loyalty to his gang and vociferous cham- pioning of their interest. A trophy is awarded each year to the hall which captures the biggest number of championships. Great interest attaches too to the selection of honorary All- Intramural Teams picked from the various competitors when a schedule is completed. The introduction this year of compulsory Physical Ed. is watched with some anxiety by the Intramural Committee. It is just possible that the fellows might 236 Panel below: lop left: Carmen Graziano, shortstop of the Intramural All Star nine, about to take a healthy cut at an offering from the Haverford pitcher.

The effect is just the opposite. The toning up process of the Phys. Ed. only gives the boys, and more of them, a greater zest for competition. With the advent of the first semester of the acccb erated program it is necessary to plan new athletic activities for those students who are continuing their studies during the summer months. A baseball team for outside intercollegiate competition is planned. Fathers McKee and Dunne, assisted by Fathers Kcmme and Coffey, take on the coaching job. After three weeks practice by the candidates, the squad bearing the name Intramural All Stars” is selected and these Villanovans prepare for their first game against Haver ford College. The contest takes place on the old Varsity diamond behind Mendel Hall. Frenchy DeBlois is on the mound for the Blue and White. In the first inning things don’t look any too good for us as the first ball pitched goes for a two bagger, and the runner scores on an error. Frcnchy bears down however and fans the next three batters. We pick up from there and score frequently in following innings with Joe Nunan and Stan Kazior hitting home runs.

Journeying to Swarthmore later the Stars arc blanked by John Ogden's boys 5-0, in a well played game even if we are woefully weak at the plate. A good deal of rainy weather sets in immediately, suitable rearrangements can't be made, exams are too quickly upon us so we call it a season. Return games with both colleges have to be cancelled. But as an innovation the team is a big success, and as long as the summer semester continues a part of Villanova life the Summer ball team will continue. No innovation but merely an extension, a summer softball league is organized. The usual four teams are fielded even though students are living in two dorms Four picked captains choose their own men and get the teams together. A full schedule is arranged in two halves, the championship to be decided by play off. Tony Paruta's Alumni Hall club wins the first half easily with a good record of fourteen and six. Joe Barry's Fediganites is second, four and a half games in Kick of the pacemakers. Austin and Mendel fol- low in that order. As the second half gets underway it's obvious that the first half champs will have no walkaway this time.

Basket ball A common scene in Intramural basket- ball, some one on .he floor. The games aren’t necessarily rough, but rivalry is intense and skill is second to aggressive- ness. It never gets to the point where the boys forget that it’s only sport and that all are Villanovans. John Quinn of Fedigan helps Bob Fittin and teammate Gene McGoldrick of Austin to regain their feet. enters the big series against the same Alumni team to decide the season championship. Barry is still in great form and Fedigan wins the title with consecutive victories 6-4 and 6-5. Father Sullivan's Dayhops are playing a more in formal schedule among four teams during the daily lunch period. They have a fireball pitcher in Tony DiLuigi. Backing him up with an All Dayhop aggre- gation they arrange for a World Scries cham- pionship for the entire College, against an All-Resident team. Twice Barry and DiLuigi hook up in hotly con- tested games, but twice the aggressive and experienced residents get to DiLuigi's speed in the late innings and beat the Commuters. The great season comes to a glorious end when Don Kellet brings out a championship Frat team from Penn and Joe Barry, backed up by an All Star club, shuts them out 3-0. ♦ • Basketball exceeds even soft Kail in popularity on the campus. The league is comprised of six teams, one each from the four resident halls, two from the non-resident groups, respectively: Mendel Dayhops and CcrF Dayhops. Usually the schedule begins in mid October, the first half running till Thanksgiving; the second half picks up in January and goes on until the beginning of March. This year the arrangement is accelerated so that it is entirely finished before the late Christmas vacation begins. Graduations in Janu- ary prompt the committee to this.

Since there is no Freshman team this year to play the preliminaries to the Varsity games, it is decided that for the pre-Christmas Varsity games some Intramural games will be played as pre liminary attractions. This public appearance gives an added stimulus to the competitors. After the holidays an All Star intramural team will take care of the Varsity prelims playing a schedule of outside competition. Austin Hall with a record of nine wins against only one loss edges out a fighting freshman group from Alumni for the first half title. Mendel Dayhops, defending champs, wind up third. Alumni, with five High school captains on its start ing team, really gets going in the second half and winds up undefeated. They won twelve straight including the two final games of the first half. Alumni enters the playoffs pretty much the favorite and they justify the choice. They win the first game too easily, 37' 14, leading at half time 16-4. Austin definitely is away off. Two nights later, they meet a£am, and this time Austin is up. Father Kemmc has his boys supercharged. They lead at the half 26 20. But in the second half, Father Dunne's “kids recap- ture their hard driving manner and with Bill Lowncy sparking them tie the score at 36-36 when the third period ends. Three times during the fourth quarter the lead changes, but aggressiveness pays off at the whistle and it's a justifiable cocky Alumni club which walks off the floor undisputed champs for 1942-43. They incidentally have won fourteen straight, and have well shattered the record of twelve set last year by Father Sullivan's Mendel Day team. This same Mendel team is the season’s mystery, for it is com- pletely intact from their championship year, yet can do no better than third in each half. As is the custom each year, an All-intramural team is chosen. Six men arc picked because of the close competition for the honorary berths. The play-off contestants dominate the selections. Alumni places Joe McGuincss, Bill Savage, and Jack Doran; while Austin is represented by John McFadden, Mike Chcppa, and Art Martin. Martin and McFadden are repeaters from previous seasons.

Our boys have great difficulty getting used to each others style, and go down in this first appear- ance 19-17. They recover from their chagrin four days later to beat a seasoned Penn R.O.T.C. quintet 31-27. Then they avenge the Malvern defeat by winning a return game 4 -30. They follow up with another victory this time over the Quigley A.C. of Philadel- phia 23-17.

Dating back in tradition to the old minstrel shows given by the boys of the early century. Amateur Night carries on as an outlet for that timeless urge of all College boys to strut their theatrical ability in a less serious way than through the regular channels of the serious and more strictly supervised dramatic forms. The fellow who sings loud in the shower, the lad who annoys all and sundry practicing incessantly on his Sax in the Hall while the other fellows are trying to catch a little off- hours sleep, the bull session mimic who can convulse his hearers with take-offs of his profs. College officials, fellow students, well known characters, the student with a yen for writing little skits,—all these get their chance in Amateur Night. Units of competition were the same as in the intramural sports league. Informality and spontaneity were the rule, and the audience was loudly critical when it was not just as loudly appreciative. Judges with critical charts awarded points and so adjudged the winner. Though simplicity of presentation was the rule, some amazingly good acts were put on and some pretty elaborate costumes made their ap- pearance. Best of all, it was an all-man produc- tion for an all-man audience. Entertainment on Amateur Night was of a varied °rt and the appeal was usually of an individual ! «. The fun of the evening was not as can In- gathered from the picture below, of a very subtle nature. ___ Vv«v� BoiSng Continuing its domination of the intramural Sports program, Alumni Hall retains by one point, the box- ing diadem by repeating its victory of last year, this time by a thin one point margin. The Frosh arc victors in three events, come off on the wrong end on two other encounters, to compile eight points. This is just enough to nose out the surprise entry of the night Mendel Dayhops who capture seven points. Leather slingers from Fedigan and Austin halls tally 6 and 5 points respectively. Altogether it is a night of good close competition. Something new is introduced to the regular program this year as music by the Villanovans provides enjoy- ment for the spectators between bouts. Officiating duties are handled by Basketball Coach A1 Severance, and the seconds for each contestant are Lou Lopez, and John Dzitko, who have trained all entries for their events. The evenings winners arc: Herb Lamb, Rog Lat- tanza, Ben Paradce, Dick Breen, Jim Cahill, Bill Bar- rett, George Veiling, Sam Mason. Losing competitors (some one always has to lose): Frank Nardi, Sam Ciriaco, Scotty Boyle, Frank Solis, Wally Breen, Jim Lamb, Hank Weldon, George Smith. In the two wrestling bouts, Jim Hill defeats Bill Koness, and in a comic bout, Gene Konopka gains a hollow decision over Giant Bill Lillianthal. First Row: Solis, H. Lamb, Nardi, J. Lamb, Cahill, VC'. Breen, R. Breen, Dzitko, Lopez. Second Row: Fr. McKee, Mausch, Mr. Severance, Weldon, Referee Ben Danik is distracted momentarily (by some heckler presumably) during the fast wrestling match which above shows Jim Hill and Bill Koness in the throes of some kind of an arm lock. This bou- was only a diversion for all the fistic action caught by the camera on the opposite page. Veiling, Hill, Paradte, Ciriaco, Lattanza, Konopka, Fr. Burke, Fr. Kcmmc, Danik. Third Row: Koness, Czaikoski, Horan, Lillianthal, Mc- Carthy, Mason, Whalen, Sullivan. With no Varsity swimming team representing Villanova this year the annual Intramural Swimming Tournament is graced with varsity performers as well as with regular interhall competitors. Austin Hall, the defending champ, is greatly weakened by the loss of the Hin brothers who have gone into the Service, and by Tom Dolan’s transfer to Fedigan, which Hall now looms as the favorite. The two freshmen halls arc question marks as usual, but one of them proves to have many top-flight swim- mers in its ranks, and when the meet is over Alumni Hall has added the swimming championship to its list of athletic accomplishments for the year Winning four of the seven events they pile up 49.5 points and edge out the favored Fcdiganitcs who manage to total 41.5. Austin, Mendel Residents, The pant-1 on the right shows on top the start of a second leg of a freestyle relay, with Father McKee and his assistants checking the official scoreboard meanwhile. Underneath is the beginning of the backstroke event, winner Ed Riley on the far end. Much partisanship is manifested during the hotly con- tested swimming events on Intramural night and the pool reverberates with indistinguishable yells of encouragement. Frank Desmond is shown here coming in far ahead of the field in his favorite breaststroke event. Mendel Day, and C F follow in that order. Gene MacFarland and George Veiling are the out' standing performers for the winning team, for be' tween them they gather two-thirds of the team points. MacFarland wins the 50-yard backstroke and the div- ing events. Veiling, though failing to get a first, places second in the breast stroke, and the free-style, both at fifty yards, and places third in the diving. They also swim legs in the relay events, medley and freestyle, where Alumni takes first. Former varsity tankman Bill Naylor stands out for second place. Fcdigan as he sprints the 50-yard free- style in 26.4 and then covers the 100-yard distance in 61.1 to walk off with both those events. Frank Desmond, breaststrokcr from the idle Var- sity, cops his specialty easily in the good time of 51.1. and proves he is in pretty fair shape by getting a second in the hundred-yard freestyle. The day-hop team scoring is negligible because of lack of entries. In ihc insol circlo is Gone McFarland who look iho evening � diving event rather easily. Hd Riley with the megaphone at arm’s length did a double job for the night serving as official announcer to the crowd and swimming in backstroke and freestyle events. The eager faces of the contestants shown here as they assemble for a pre-match picture is a good indication of the enthusiasm which characterizes the annual inter-hall meet. The spectators in the background are the early arrivals. Presenting the Villanova men of today, and the first men of Villanova's second century. A not imme- diately bright future is theirs to face, and Alma Mater has sent some and will send others to her country's call.

Enlistment in some service Reserve gave the boys some chance of continuing study until called to arms. Naval and Marine reservists were luckier than the Army enlistees, for on March 15th, 1943, the Army gave all reservists in college notice to active duty on April 5th. Naval and Marine students were not called until the following T Ii e Call to Arms July. Early that April morning, college life ended for many of the boys, some of whom were Seniors in their last semester. The boys took the bad bread with a smile as the accompanying pictures show, and after spending the night at the College, they left in a group early next morning for New Cumberland, Pa., sadly sent on their journey by Faculty and fellow students A Naval Air Corps Unit, comprised of Villanovans, with ihnr (lying Wildcat insignia.

Father McGuire became Vice-President and we lost him as Moderator, gaining Father McQuade in his place. Our big Junior year was clouded by the shadows of war, but we had Junior festivities anyhow. Bill Walpole was our President. Gene Smith got us our rings, George McFadden, our Blazers. Jimmy Walsh ran our second big class dance, the Junior Prom, and Les Brown played it for us. Joe Haggerty and John Quinn ran the Dinner Dance, with Ed Cubler as Honorary Chairman. It was the last real Junior Prom for the duration. Continued on next page Villanova's first group of Air Corps Reservists being sworn in, on February 24th, 194$. Aiding the induction was Corporal Joseph Barnes, ’41, on the picture’s right. Officers of the accelerated Class of '44 as Sophomores. Frank Quinn, Treasurer; Tom McQuade, President; Joe Daly, Vice- President; Bill Hennessy, Secretary. When the regular fall semester began in October of 42, a lot of the boys had already finished one term of Senior Year and were thinking of graduation in February. Quite a few other faces were missing be cause they had been called by Uncle Sam. Class activity was practically nil. There was to be only one formal dance and that was to take the place of Senior Ball and Junior Prom. The Student Council ran it under the aegis of our own Jacques Mauch. A good time was had by all but it was a little sad, for many of our own had already gotten notice that the Army Enlisted Reserve were to get ready, and the Air Corp Reserve likewise. Some would be graduating, others would have to leave their college work unfinished. The first section of 1943 seniors were graduated at Villanova’s first Winter Commencement. Early in March the Reserves were called up, and many Seniors who were hoping against hope, left. Our turn to leave in the regular way, came on May 23rd, and the Class of 43 passed into history. The Centennial was ended. In leisurely pre-war days the colorful procession of graduates to the gym was a long remembered part of com- mencement. With acceleration of scholastic curricula, the graduation ceremony had to be revised and shortened. The first winter commencement at Villanova of which we present a series of pictures here, was held in the College Chapel, combining the Baccalaureate ceremony with the giving of degrees. The graduates will never forget the stirring address of Rear-Admiral Monsignor Brady who spoke to them of the serious call to their country’s service.

The number of Villanova's priests who are in actual service with the armed forces bears little relation to the number who have asked their superiors if they could go. Three of last year's Faculty have been released from teaching to take up work as Chaplains in the Army or Navy. Father Dunne, still sadly missed, is with the Army; Fathers Handrail and O'- Donnell are in the Navy. So far there are twelve other Augustinians in the Service, all of them Villanova graduates. More will without doubt obtain leave of absence to serve, but few of these will be Villanova faculty members, for with the establishment of a V-12 unit at the College, they have become essential parts of the war program as teachers of future officers. A secondary but not unimportant phase of the war activity at Villanova has been the cultivation of the Victory Garden. Under the direction of Father McCabe of St. Mary's and Father Paquette of the College two large sec- tions of land were cultivated; one on the slope between St. Mary’s and the railroad; the other in back of the barn along Ithan Road. Other parts of our land were leased without charge to neighbors who wished to have their own plots. f ration, TU e e Assisting the Ad minis Reading clockwise: Secretarial Staff, E. Rowland, H.

Share the Car” means also share the breakdown to the boys who come and go in the luxury of private transporta- tion, no matter what the weather. Villanova’s Day Hop Not the least of factors in Villanova's collegiate life is the comparatively unpublieized day hop. Offi- cially he is known by the Administration as Non- resident. His daily life is something altogether dif- ferent from the resident’s, for he knows little of the calm, orderly life of convenient campus existence. His is a more hectic struggle for an education. No resident has experienced the frenzied fixing of a flat half way to school on a cold wintry morning, nor has he ridden to and from school ten or twenty miles daily with what seems hundreds of pounds of books on his lap. The resident has never scribbled a paper for a class assignment while travelling break- neck on a jolting trolley or bus: nor has he, after a late night, slept past his station on the Pennsy or P. fr V. He has never known as the day hop knows. the agony of being passed up by successive motorists while he is trying to thumb his way to a nine o'clock class or a five-thirty date. Maybe because he has so much trouble attending college, the day hop appreciates it more. Anyhow, he is a very active person in the extracurricular life. He has been: Editor of the Villdnorun. Editor of the Bkllk Air, Chairman of the Student Council, Presi- dent of Phi Kappa and Delta Pi Epsilon and Epsilon Phi Theta, Cheerleader, Class President, Prom Chair- man. He has organized a Bowling League, a touch football and softball league. He is above all unique in being an automatic member of that great organized and unofficcred club which holds its daily luncheon sessions down in the subterranean Pic Shop, and he can tell in one whiff what Louie is offering as the Day's Special. 329 4.

Maybe that's why we get along so well with particular editors and advisers. AN intelligent service endowed with a spirit of friend- ly cooperation has been the important factor in bring- ing Zamsky Studios to the position of LEADERSHIP in the school annual field. MAYBE that's why Villanova College turned to us for their photography in 1943. We hope you will turn to us soon and we invite your inquiry.
