If you come here, he wrote, we shall be glad to do what we can for you. The class of nineteen nine has accepted four years of this very offer. VVe are now about to end our undergraduate days. As students of VVilliams we shall never return to college. In future years visits will wash out the footprints of time, and once again we will be boys together. The book has been published merely to serve as a reminder of the days that are no more, to freshen memories of these happy years, and to bind one and all more closely to the class of nineteen nine and to our common alma mater.

A ,f 1, V X XX WILLIAMS COLLEGE ONE HUNDRED YEARS AGO RESIDENT FITCH of Williams college, about one hun- dred years ago this Commencement, Wrote to a friend a letter which shows how little the ideals of this institution have changed to this date. It reads in part, Our ambition is to make good scholars rather than add to our number, and in this we mean not to be outdone by any college in New England. A glance at the entrance requirements and at the courses offered by the college in view of this is most interesting. In a certain sense VVilliams has been the originator of the present elective system. The student seeking admission in the very earliest days of the college had an option. The rule read, Each student who applies for admission must be able to accurately construe, read and parse to the satisfaction of the president and tutors, Virgil's 7Eneid, Tully's Orations, and the Evangelists in Greekg or, if he prefers to become acquainted with French, he must be able to read and pronounce with a tolerable degree of accuracy and fluency I-Iudson's French Scholar's Guide, Telemachus, or some other approved French author. The curriculum, which aimed to see Massachusetts become the Athens of America, intro- IO WILLIAMS COLLEGE CLASS BOOK duced the freshman to the study of the languages-English, Latin, Greek and French, although the latter was omitted for some time after 1799. This course of study was continued for the four years, and sophomore year the student indulged in geography, algebra, mensurations, arithmetic, conic sections and geometry. The following year he commenced the study of rhetoric and logic, as an introduction to the work of senior year-history, national law, ethics, civil polity, theology and metaphysics. In 1806 the grammar school was discontinued and there are many records of graduates of this institution refusing to enter the college and transferring to some sounder school of learning. One hundred years before the class of nineteen nine were seniors 117 students were registered at Williams college. There were seventeen freshmen, thirty-one sophomores, forty juniors and twenty-nine seniors. Eight states of the Union were 'repre- sented. The catalogue published in November, 1809, gives the list of the teaching force, consisting of the president, vice presi- dent and three tutors. On September 6, 1809, the Commence- ment procession marched through the archway in the middle of West college and proceeded up to the meetinghouse, standing in the Field Memorial park and constructed at the close of the last century as a result of the threat of the trustees of the college to hold the exercises in Pittsfield, if no suitable edifice were built in the town. There were thirteen orations, three dialogues and two disputations to be listened to. The people fiocked in from the surrounding villages for the events ofthe day. Venders of gingerbread were present with booths and we read that cider was not wanting, and it was not difficult to procure a stronger drink, so as the day wore on there was often a ludicrous mixture of the literary and what had little affiliation with it, The Valedictorian of the college, directly before appearing on the platform, had been dipped into the Green river by several of his classmates in an attempt to restore l1im to a presentable condition. In the year 1809, West and East were the only college build- ings. West, built in 1790, contained the library, studies, and on the south side of the second and third stories the chapel. A bell in the belfry was tolled for all meetings and the bclfryman, usually a student, dared leave his room at the foot of the tower WILLIAMS COLLEGE CLASS BOOK I1 only for recitations, meals and prayers, for fear of being kid- napped and thus causing a holiday. East, built in 1796, burned down in 1841 and replaced by the present building of one less floor, was not very much occupied at this time, containing but two recitation rooms in use. Christmas lake still existed on the old campus and close by this was the college spring, the source of all the water supply. The students from West, with their buckets in their hands, went through the meadows to fetch their daily water. The path they followed is now called Spring street. VVilliamstown was called NVest Hoosuch and in the histories of these times we often read of Graylock and the Taghonic moun- tains. No stage coach ever entered the town and the only quasi- public means of communication with the outside world were the three solitary messengers who rode into town about once a week on horseback, over the mountains from Troy, Pittsfield and Springfield. During the senior year of the class of eighteen nine three interesting actions were taken by the trustees. The faculty were authorized to give the students leave of absence from their rooms between 9 and IO P. M.: the faculty members were paid H3180 for supplying the pulpit thirty-six Sabbathsf and a committee was appointed to prevent the students' rooms from smoking. It is probable that the class of eighteen nine inaugurated Chip Day. The pL'll'pOSC of this holiday was to clean up the campus, but the holiday was later abolished when the students introduced hired labor for that purpose and used the holiday to leave town. In the spring and summer of 1808 the second student rebellion in the history of the college was promulgated. The sophomores, in an endeavor to prevent the reappointment of several of the instructors, petitioned the trustees for that purpose. Not more than a half a dozen upperclassmen were closely connected with this action. Upon the refusal of the trustees to take action, Professor Olds, of the department of Natural Philosophy and Mathematics. demanded a written apology from the students. President Fitch refused to sustain the professor, and in conse- quence found himself one morning to be the only member of the Williams faculty. A recess of four weeks was then found necessary to replenish the instructing force. 12 WILLIAMS COLLEGE CLASS BOOK A history of the college of one hundred years ago can scarcely close without at least mention of the individualities that in those days as undergraduates gave evidence of their future fame. The class of eighteen nine possessed the leaders of the great Haystack movement. 'The names of james Richards, Harvey Loomis and Samuel J. Mills as the founders of a world move- ment have found places in the history of the religions of the world. Ezra Fisk, a member of the same class, was later a trustee of the college for ten years after 1823, and was then offered the presidency of the College of Vermont. Three members of the faculty were men of marked ability. Professor Olds, a graduate of the class of eighteen one, men- tioned above in this article, was a tutor at VV illiams from 1803 to 1805 and was then made professor, which office he held until the time of the rebellion in 1808. Chester Dewey, an instructor for two years after 1808, graduated with high standing from VVilliams in 1806. In 1810, at the time of the installation of a new faculty, he was made full professor. He filled this office until 1827. I Ebenezer Fitch, the first president of Williams college, devoted himself with much fidelity and with no ordinary success, as may be seen by the fact that the number of graduates at Williaiiis during its first half century considerably surpassed the number of graduates at Yale during its first fifty years. As most of the early administrators and teachers at the college, he was a graduate of Yale. After twenty years of office President Fitch gave way to Zephaniah Swift Moore, a man of less years, the second president of the institution. In 1834 he died, and thirty years later his remains were deposited by the side of the elegant monument erected to his memory in tl1e college cemetery. Pro- fessor Dewey once said of President Fitch, He was a man of fine personal appearance, of rather courtly manners and digni- fied carriage, of the purest morals, of the most benevolent feel- ings and the most exemplary religious character. As an instruc- tor he had a high reputation. I-Ie was eminently a good man. In these few pages the editors have endeavored to recall the history of Williams college one hundred years ago. The charm of the early events is, to members of the institution, decidedly personal. The scantiest knowledge, however, of the history of 'WILLIAMS COLLEGE CLASS BOOK I3 the years when the class of eighteen nine was in college shows that 1909 is merely another point on the same stream and not :L point on another stream. The current has been sharp, defined. It has cut a marked path through the hills of history. With the same inherited effort to have the current deep, but in a narrow channel, the college continues into the future. - Q .7 Dis -W WM' X 135. 3' .

Dr. Hopkins was peculiarly the president of the class of nineteen hundred and nine. Under him it passed three years of its existence, and when on the twentieth of September, 1908, funeral services were held in the Thompson Memorial chapel, six members of the class bore his casket to its final resting place in the college cemetery. Dr. Hopkins was nobly endowed by nature, and his gifts were secured to the use of the world in which he moved, by long training and faithful service. Genial toward all, having a genuine concern for the well-being of those for whom he was in any way responsible, kindly in his consideration for others, gentle in dealing with those in distress, whether their misfor- tune came through unavoidable circumstances or through thoughtlessness and folly, he made himself beloved by all.

No, not quite here either, because Consumption hill was still ahead of us, and our dress suit cases were not yet reposing in the corner of a bare-walled and gloomy cell of Col- lege Hall. However, such burdens were soon disposed of, and with raincoats and umbrellas we set out to find what 'SHP' XfValden was able to produce. Having now secured the bare necessities for our future existence, getting settled became our next diversion-diversion, because it occupied spare moments from September 23 until at least February I. So far, so good, but in the morning we woke up to the fact that it was time to register, so with the help of a few upper- classmen and a very wise-looking' professor, we spent several hours in Hopkins 1-Iall, wondering if everything would really come out all right in the end. Things seemed now to be fairly started, and we went to our rooms after supper of this second day in VVilliamstown with firm resolves to start in right and get our lessons all prepared for the next day. Our resolutions may have been of the best, but we had hardly sat down to study when Lights out, Freshj' resounded from the throats of a howling mob outside. A moment later and the hall was filled with stamping feet and a chorus of fearful yells, and we did not know whether to run for the closet or skip under the bed. However, we did neither, for with the command to Open up, Fresh. we tremblingly unfastened the bolt of the door, and-the game was on. ' First impressions, however, are not always lasting and in the course of a few weeks we even began to realize that to do and say certain things would not call down upon our heads any ter- rible chastisement. By winning the baseball game with the sopho- mores, we added another peg to our confidence, and this followed 18 wlLLl,xMs CoLL1Ce16 CLASS Book up by a victory in the track meet filled our spirits with fire-and the air with smoke. Even our defeat in football was set down by a few ardent classmates as a moral victory, and we almost felt as if certain things which we had believed concerning sopho- mores were delusions of our infancy. lt was at about this time that we struck up an acquaintance with the man who makes all freshmen famous. -a hermit living in the Gym.'l by the name of Doctor Barrett, and from FRESHMAN BASEBALL TEAM hence our trips to the college carpenter-shop became frequent and famous. VVell, all of freshman year is not taken up in the First few months, although in the retrospect it may seem so, and we had better skip over the XVesleyan and Amherst football games of this, our freshman year. and pass on to more pleasant memories of the basketball and relay seasons. The basketball team of TQO6 was the first of a series of wonderful players and the game lost to Dartmouth, II to 9, was the sole defeat of the season on the home floor. In relay we defeated VVesleyan and Amherst in two WILLIAMS COLLEGIC CLASS BOOK I9 fast races. Christmas vacation came-and went, so did Mid- Yearsf' Then those broilsome days and anxious nights at the time of March I7. Brown, president of the class, Wfadsworth, Lichtenhein, I-Topkins, lloch and Cushing carried the canes across the line a few minutes before eleven, while the sophomores had come in drags to the depot, but turned OH in the wrong direction at that point. At this trying time, as throughout the year, llrown was an efficient leader for the class. VVhat a relief when FRESI-IMAN FOOTBALL TEAM that was over, the canes in, and the hatchet buried! lt was now that we felt like relaxing a little and seeing what new fields we could conquer, in .the form of North Ad., the Dean, Azh and other species of varying interest. Wie also remember with a shudder certain bloodthirsty individuals known as Managers, and our new radiator tops stood as memorials of many business- like upperclassmen. However, spring and its mud was soon upon us, bringing with it more hour tests, warnings and such like, together with the Easter vacation, which faded almost immediately into a pleasant dream. And then those lazy hot days in May, when we watched 20 NVILLIAMS COLLEGE CLASS BOOK jimmy and Dczzie out on the diamond. picking' up the hot ones, sliding to bases, or whacking' out liners. There are visions, too, of llonner sailing serenely around the track, and we still remember how he used to save his sprint. just one more shock-the final exams-and we were on our way to Troy, where With laugh and song We rolled along Beneath the starry dome, and when certain telegrams came from our thoughtful upper- classmcn, to us as sophomores, with a sudden start the truth dawned upon us that freshman year was over.

Every- thing looked the same about the old town, but we walked down Spring street with a new air of possession and a rather paternal sort of feeling towards those whose lowly position seemed now so far behind us. And we were more or less paternal, for we had to be, as hazing was under the bang but we can all of us remem- ber several little parties in which these young gentlemen who had so lately joined us very prominently Hgured- Evie Hazel- ton and his fire brigade and I-larry J0hnston's stern Whom have we here ?g', that so struck terror to the freshman heart. Tim, Westbrook was chosen to the highest office of the class and a fine leader he made. We all regret that he had to leave us when his term was over. Let us pass hurriedly over the tie baseball game with the freshmen and the track meet, the score of which is not mentioned in our annals, to those crisp autumn days when we strolled down to the field to watch practice, or walked out over the hills, or even, some of us, disregarding the enticements of a rural nature, took the car for Ad. and the pleasures of the big city. Some of us saw Harvard score on a blocked punt and a great many journeyed to Springfield to see a team, of which almost three- quarters were nineteen nine men, spring a great surprise on Dartmouth, we had to content ourselves with a tie where a victory was deservedly won. Then Colgate in a fine game was overwhelmed by the Purple, and Wesleyan fell not without some excitement, and finally as a climax, the unsatisfactory day when some three inches of mud and Hubbard saved Amherst from a defeat which all the muds and Hubbards .in the world could not have staved off the following fall. The football of the year ended auspiciously with our 5-0 victory over the Freshmen. 22 VVILLIAMS COLLEGE CLASS BOOK , VVe returned from the strenuous holidays for a well-deserved rest and to see from our crowded places in the Gym. the basket- ball team carry off another championship. The disappointment at Richard's Castle was no more of a one than every sopho- more class has had to experience. Baseball came with spring, and our chief diversion was to sit on the bleachers and watch Dez. and 'ijinf' work out a snappy double and whistle admiringly as Clyde lined it down to second. VVe saw among others, Yale, Amherst, Wesleyan and the southern champions, Alabama, lower their colors to the Purple, and followed with hilarity the devastation brought by the raid into the far West. NVe saw Gil, take four iirsts and a second in the Brown meet and repeat the performance at VVesleyan, bringing victory both times, and follow this by breaking the high-jump record in the Worcester intercollegiate. There is hardly space here to dilate on the great successes of the Prom. and the festivities of the Thirtieth, but it was better to us perhaps, for it was ours. Our last appearance together was in the familiar halls of the Richmond, which echoed loud with song and cheer and the How of silver-tonguecl orators, and we parted after giving a vocal treat to the sleeping city, to meet again the next fall in our new dignity of upperclassmen.

And yet it was but one year ago that we started in, none too gently, to break up rushes and watch with sarcastic looks the feeble attempts at hazing. We had no right to look sarcasti- cally-only the favored few, who had felt the clannny dankness of an enforced shower bath, could do that, and yet we all did look witheringly sarcastic. After the first few weeks, when the football season was fully under way, we all came to the realization that we had a crackerjack team to support, and in the joyousness of such an occurrence the jolly juniors lost their domineering attitude and, realizing that the eleven was composed chiefly of their classmates, they cheered it on to a bewildering victory over our erstwhile enemy, Amherst. The 1906 tie on Pratt Swamp had been broken in our favor and great was the rejoicing that the season had ended so gloriously. In basketball, although handicapped by the ineligibility of promising candidates at the start, Williaiiis won the New Eng- land Intercollegiate league championship by defeating Wesleyall in the most exciting game of our college course. None of us will forget, those two extra, periods with the shouting and dis- organized yells. ' Wliat a sigh of relief we all heaved when the whistle blew with the score 26-24 in our favor. The baseball team was moderately successful, in that three of the four games with Amherst were victories for Williams, and that Harvard and Princeton both went down to defeat. Nothing like the sixteen-inning victory of the year before over Dartmouth was present, for the extra inning game of the season was a seventeen-inning tie, 6 to 6, with Wesleyan. As for track, we always are sure of fifteen points at the New England Intercollegiate A. A. meet as long as nineteen nine remains in college, and it was due to these fifteen points that we were able in this year to defeat both Brown and Amherst. 24 XVILLIAMS COLLEGE CLASS BOOK 1'n'literary lines, the class added one more volume to the list of GIILY, which, representing the class that it does, is certainly the best we have seen. The Record could not have been what it was had it not been for the services of those members of our class who were preparing to conduct its precarious course in the following year, and of the Lit. and the Cow let us quote a would-be wit, who said, There are not two better monthlies published in VVilliams. The class series in basketball and baseball ended very fortu- nately-for the other three classes. But let us hasten over such trivial matters Cfor most of us will not soon forget those two glorious seasonsj to the serious discussion of what was accom- plished during our junior year. The jolly evenings spent at the four smokers will always! be rememberedg nor will it be forgotten that we were the first junior class to hear about QI will not say see,'j the canes being captured under the new limitsg that memorable reproduction of Doctor Faustus is another pro- gressive step indelibly fixed in our mindsg and the interclass singing contest which nineteen nine won so melodiously will certainly be remembered for ,having brought into existence one of the best songs of which Williams ever boasted. In short, much was accomplished which promoted the interests and ideals of the college, and in view of this fact we are prepared to take up the arduous duties which will be thrust upon us next year, when we cease being jolly and become grave. Then the college will obtain what it has been looking forward to for one hundred and fourteen years-the class of nineteen nine as seniors. G1Lu'13R'r L.

Every member of the class shrinks just a little from that jumping-off place only a short way ahead, for the let-down from the self-arrogated aristocracy of the senior to the humdrum of the breadwinner's life will be the severest kind of a jolt, even to the favored few of us who, upon graduation, slide into the fattest of jobs. But the memory of a successful senior year will go far to break the fall we are all soon to take. lt is not given to every class to make its final year the logical climax of a college course. Often there are hitches in the programme which serve to dull the roseate idealism of the last few months. But though the history of this last year may record some disappointgnents of one sort or another, those disappointments, instead of becoming embittering regrets, have merely served to teach us how to avoid the same blunders next time, and their importance fades away into insignilicance beside the successes which were actually ours. The few months just closing mark a period of decided transi- tion in the history of the college, of which the class of nineteen nine in particular has been keenly aware. Just as the memories of the first three years of our course are inseparably bound up with the warm affection we held for the late Dr. Hopkins, so our last year has been dominated by the personality of the new presi- dent, whose progressive ideals and energy are made manifest in changes which have already taken place in the college. We seniors, who go out from here within a very short time, realize that in the years soon to come all sorts of improvements will 26 NVILLIAMS COLLEGE CLASS BOOK take place in Wlilliams, and it is our very real regret that we cannot as undergraduates take more of a part in them all. But we have had a very fundamental share in the beginnings at least. WVhatever else we may have done, and these accomplishments are recorded elsewhere in this book, one thing stands out above them all-the establishment of a conference system between under- graduates and administrative officers, for the purpose of consul- tation on such questions as may need settlement. As leaders in college activities the members of nineteen nine have tried to do their best, and their success averages up with that of most other senior classes-here an improvement has been instituted, there the former standard has not been quite.reached. Such matters will be forgotten very shortly, but this establishment of more intimate relations with the administration we shall always remem- ber as the most lasting thing we did, even if it was accomplished below the surface, unnoticed by many. We may confidently say that by it we have set an example worth the handing down to the classes who are soon to take our place. This is the legacy we leave as we go away. Not very long ago, there was published a cartoon of a college senior, like any one of us, in academic robes, perched on- the top of a lofty column built of text-books, printed lectures, trots, athletic paraphernalia, playing-cards and many other odds and ends, umnentionable here, but all the same quite essential to the equipment of an up-to-date undergraduate. He sat there, this senior, receiving with proper dignity the plaudits of the Com- mencement crowd gathered at the -base of the column to acclaim him. But, in the midst of all his glory, the whole flimsy structure under him tottered and swayed far out over the edge of a steep precipice oh whose sunnnit it was built. Far below could be distinguished the figures of men engaged in the turmoil and struggle of real life, an ocean so stormy as to swallow up all but the skillful navigator. And the man in cap and gown, with his college education his pilot, and his sheepskin his passport, where in all that troubled sea will he find safe harbor? ERNEST H.

TOLL, Vice President The most bromidic criticism of college religious organizations is that whatever high purpose they may inspire fails to display itself in a sequel of conspicuously practical work. It is a ques- tion whether such objections are fairly made unless the post- collegiate career of the individual men affected are followed up. Fair or not, it has not been made of the Mill's Y. M. C. A. during I-Iorrax's presidency of the past year. During this time a great development in the line of work outside of the college itself has been made. Adams and North Adams have a considerable popu- lation of Italians and French and other foreigners who have no speaking knowledge of English. Experiments were made in offering to procure men to give lessons in English to workmen twice a week, and a steady spontaneous growth brought the num- ber of men who attended such classes to over two hundred. About forty of the men in college volunteered as teachers. Several entertaimnents among the foreign element, with speakers on patriotic subjects for the main numbers, brought out fifteen hundred different people. Fifty members of the college also conducted boys' clubs and schools with a total membership of over four hundred, and the pulpit of one church was occupied by two of the college men through the year. For the college itself, more special speakers have been procured by the Y. M. C. A. than in previous yearsg and in Bible study classes over half of the men in college enrolled. At the Class conferences, which have evolved in the last couple of years into a more or less new species, an average of nearly fifty men have appeared every week. The spiritual condition of a man is affected by his physical condition, associations are infiuenced in a similar unfortunate manner, and perhaps something of the flourishing condition of this association can betraced to the fact that Dodd has been the most successful financial agent that it has discovered in recent years. WILLIAMS COLLEGE CLASS BOOK 133 Compared with the few classes which have preceded it, nine- teen nine has had a large percentage of men who have been active in the association's work. As it is the first class to have a g'eneral secretary for the association in all of its four years, this proportion may be natural. It is also in part due to the fact that an extremely broad basis of membership has been maintained, and that its work has been undisturbed by the whirlwinds of theological technicalities. ' ITIICNRY W. TOLL LITERARY INTERESTS THE WILLIAMS RECORD Woou, Edilor-in-Chiqf MCCUEN, Illanagcr THE WILLIAMS LITERARY MONTHLY LooMIs, Edilor-in-C'hz'Ly Howla, Mavzagez' THE GULIELMENSIAN MYERS, Edilor-in-Chief RICHARDS, Illanagef' THE PURPLE COW Tom., Edilor-in-Chityf CARLISLE, Dmwav, Illanagers N its work along literary lines the class has not failed to keep to the high standard set by previous classes, and in some respects, at least, has succeeded in improving on them. This improvement has manifested itself chiefly along the line of out- ward appearance, in the style of type used, in the arrangement of material, and, in the case of the Lit., in the changes made on the cover. Both the members ofthe class on the Lit. board, Loomis and Toll, were elected to the board at the end of sophomore year. Loomis has been editor-in-chief during his senior year, and throughout that time has followed out-his own ideals-not always the 111OSlZ conservative-as to the management of the paper, ,in a thoroughly consistent manner. Early in this period the cover design was changed and a simple design by Friedley, ar-1910, embodying the college seal, was substituted for the one hitherto used. The size of the book has been altered. a change resulting 134 WILLIAMS COLLEGE CLASS BOOK in much more attractive proportions and in a more artistic appearance generally. A new style of type has also been adopted, considerably more pleasing in appearance, but rather more difficult to read than that formerly used. During his period of managership Loomis has adopted a policy of reform advocacy in which there has sometimes seemed to be lacking the note of full sympathy. His essay, In Criticism of Ourselves, in the October number, affords the most striking example of this policy, and shows most clearly the better as well as the poorer points in his treatment. Sanctum also has very often exhibited the same tendency in a much less striking degree. Aside from the editorial page, Loomis's contributions have been in the form of essays, poems and stories, among which his essays have played the most important part. In this latter field his essay on Lafcadio Hearn may be selected as typical of the appreciative manner in which he handles his subjects. Here, as in his other essays, he shows a careful preparation of his subject and a thorough knowledge of the matter which he treats. In story-writing Loomis has attempted least and has been least successful. His style seems a trifle heavy and he lacks the element so necessary to good story-writing, a strong sense of humor. His Urania Victrix, however, a story written in the manner of James Branch Cabell, in a style which does not demand light conversations or humorous touches, deserves men- tion for its carefully worked-up plot as well as for its diction. Here, as in The Gullible Ghost, another of his stories, the great length of the contributions would hinder most .readers from attempting them. Toll's contributions have been chiefly in the form of stories. He has shown in these, as a rule, a humorous, light style which is simple enough to seem entirely natural and spontaneous. At his worst, which probably means when he is busiest with other things, his work lacks this element of freshness and loses much of its charm. Even at his worst, however, he prevents the possibility of boring his readers by his sometimes almost startling brevity. His best stories are The Crested Queen-fisher and The Philanthropy ol Mr. McCarthy, both clever short stories in Toll's own most natural style. Both are typical of his writings also- in that both show his ability in representing clever and lively conversations. WILLIAMS COLLEGE CLASS BOOK 135 Howe served as manager of the Lit. during the iirst half of senior year, and, having completed the required number of hours for graduation, left at the expiration of that period. There have been six representatives of the class on the Record board. Of these Maclay was elected freshman year and Engel- hard, Ernst, Santry, VandeCarr and Wood were elected in their sophomore yeari Under the 1909 board a new policy of manage- ment has been adopted, an editor-in-chief and managing editor of equal rank being appointed in place of the former editor-in-chief. Wood has served as editor-in-chief during his senior year, and Maclay as managing editor during the same period. Under this management there has been an attempt to shift a larger amount of the work of publishing the paper over to the senior members of the board, and so relieve the managing editors somewhat. Aside from these reforms there have been a number of changes in the make-up of the paper. A new style of type has been adopted, a monotype machine has been installed in order that the paper might 'appear earlier fan innovation which has not been entirely successful in its purposej, and the arrangement of headlines and of reading matter generally has been much improved. Wood, who was elected to membership on the board in Decern- ber of 1906 and editor-in-chief in March of junior year, has held to no radical policy on the editorial page except possibly that of conservatism. His editorials throughout show a well-finished and polished style, and give evidence of a painstaking preparation which does not stop until the words best suited for'the subject matter have been selected. All during the period of his work on the board he has been an indefatigable worker for the paper, regardless of his other interests and even of his own health. Maclay was elected to the board on March 14, 1905, and made managing editor senior year. He also has shown consider- able ability at writing, especially in- his accounts of football games. He has had the general management of the freshman and sophomore competition for positions on the board during the last year, and has thus taken much of the burden of responsibility from the editor-in-chief. Ernst was elected to the board in January of sophomore year. He was given the management of the Alumni department and has proved 'a generally good man for the work. He assisted in get- 136 WILLIAMS COLLEGE CLASS Book ting the paper on the press junior year and was one of the senior members to take on some of the duties of the editor-in-chief during Wood's illness senior year. He also conducted the Press Bureau junior year. Engelhard has been a member of the board since February of sophomore year. He reported most of the baseball games junior year and also helped in getting the paper into print. Since that time he has worked for the paper at sporadic intervals. VandeCarr was elected to the board in March of sophomore year. His crisp, pungent style, as seen in his write-ups of events such as Halloween celebrations and college smokers, soon became familiar to the Record readers. In work of this sort he has shown himself to be an energetic writer, able to write in a pleasing manner. Santry was made a member of the board in March of sophomore year. As manager of the college hockey team he has reported most of the hockey 'games and has shown himself a good consistent worker for the paper. McCuen has been manager of the paper during senior year and has succeeded in enlarging the advertising section and keeping the paper on a sound financial basis. The members of the 1909 Gulielmensfiau board were Engelhard, Loomis, Myers, Toll and Wood as literary editors, with Bridgman and Royce as art editors. At its first meeting the board elected VV ood editor-in-chief and Richards was elected business manager. Because of Record work Wood resigned as editor-in-chief and Myers was elected in his place. The book was above the usual standard in general appearance, owing largely to the suggestions of Friedley, EIL'-IQIO. The jokes were of the usual mediocre quality, and there were perhaps less than the usual number of typographical errors in the book. Owing partly to delay in receiving cuts, and partly to unexplained dilatoriness on the part of the printers, the book appeared somewhat later than had been planned. The Purple C ow board had from the class of nineteen nine Toll as editor-in-chief, VandeCarr and Hammond-as members of the board, and Dewey and Carlisle as managers. Toll and Ham- mond were members of the board when the publication was first instituted, and VandeCarr was elected to the board the second year. The editorial page has seemed to border rather overmuch on the serious during the last year, but the quality of the contri- WILLIAMS COLLEGE CLASS BOOK T57 butions has been constantly improving and a good balance has been maintained between jokes of a local and those of a wider application. On the whole the paper has been improved con- siderably under the 1909 board, not only in point of material but also in that through the efforts of Dewey, mainly, it has been put on a sound financial basis. I i Ernst, Myers and Palmer served as editors on the 1907-08 Handbook, with Pike as managerg and Ernst and Maclay were editors on the 1908-09 board. Wood also contributed a map of Williamstown and vicinity for the 1907-08 Handbook. Ernst and VandeCarr published in 1908 a valuable book on Williams Statistics. It contained a complete list, as far as possible, of all intercollegiate contests in which Williams college has participated, including debating and all athletic activities. On the whole the work of the class along literary lines has been in no way inferior to that of former classes. While there may have been no particular geniuses in the class, there have been a large' number of men of ability who have been willing to work for the college and have succeeded in maintaining the high standard of its literary publications. F. M. Mvicns DEBATIN G HENRY WoLco'rT TOLL, Prcsidcmf. MARK W. MACLAV, Illamqgfer. While the present senior class has been in college the status of debating has materially improved. However, in the matter of support by large attendance at the debates, the interests have been in about as bad shape as ever. In spite of these difficulties, Williams has kept its position in both of the intercollegiate debating leagues, and indeed the formation of one of them was at the instigation of Williams. The first debates of the Brown- Dartmouth-Williams league were held in the early spring of freshman year, and the formation of the Amherst-VVesleyan- Williams league was also effected in 1906, although the first debates were not actually held until December of that year. These two leagues, making necessary four teams, constitute a schedule which has been thought by some to be too heavy. The debaters from the class of nineteen nine have supported such a 138 WILLIAMS COLLEGE CLASS BOOK schedule, however, and it therefore seems as though the two leagues were practical. In results for Williams, the past four years have shown an encouraging improvement. Freshman year, Williams lost two of the three debates held. The lowest ebb was reached sophomore year, when all the four debates of both leagues were lost. Then the improvement set in. Last year, the Williams debaters won against Amherst, but lost the other debatesg and this year they more than broke even in one league and the Brown-Dartmouth league resulted in a tie all arou11d. While both Amherst and Wesleyan won and lost the same as Williams in the younger league, Williams was slightly superior, inasmuch as it received four out of the nine judges' decisions rendered. L The debating interests of Williams have been supported by able and representative men from our class. Ernst and Toll are easily the most conspicuous, each having represented the college on five teams and serving as alternate once. Toll has been on at least one team all four years. Robb has four debates to his credit, and Dodd, Pike and Sayre have two each. Toll was the only representative of nineteen nine on the team which lost to Brown in 1906, while Sayre was alternate on the team which was victorious against Dartmouth on the same night. Last year, when Amherst was beaten in Williamstown by the unanimous vote of the judges, Ernst and Toll composed the Williams team. Last March's victory over the Brown talkers was due in no small measure to Robb, who closed the debate for Williams. Of the four speakers in the two debates of the Amherst-Wesleyan- Williams series last December, Ernst, Pike and Toll were seniors, and the two latter won a victory over Wesleyan at Williamstown by unanimous decision. V The two interclass debates in which nineteen nine took part resulted in an even breakg Ernst, Pike, and Robb fMaclay, alter- natej, winning freshman year against nineteen eight and Howe, Latson, and Palmer fMetzger, alternatej, losing to nineteen ten. Those who have carried the responsibility of debating for the past four years deserve credit for their unfailing devotion and industry in the interest of a cause which is rewarded poorly in porportion to the amount of time and energy required. Besides the interest of the undergraduates, the manager wishes to take WILLIAMS COLLEGE CLASS Book 139 this opportunity to speak of that of the alumnig and to thank, on behalf of the Adelphic Union, M1'. Lewis for his invaluable services as coach, and Damon E. Hall, Russell L. Tarbox and George F. Hurd for their great help as alumni representatives in the matter of selecting judges and deciding on questions ifor debate. MARK W. MACLAY DRAMATI CS EVERETT L. HAZELTON, President VERGIL P. KLINE, Business .Manager OSCAR M.WEs'rEN, Siage Manager JOSEPH O. HANSON, Business .Manager In dramatics nineteen nine has acquitted itself very creditably. This year, under the able coaching of Mr. George L. Sargent, the club prepared itself to try a new experiment in the college dra- matic line, the idea being to raise the general quality and tone of the Cap and Bells productions to a higher dramatic and literary level. 'Although the season is only half over, the good reception which each performance has had warrants us in saying that the attempt has proved successful. In place of the ordinary slap- bang variety of production which has been given by the club in previous years, President Hazelton has substituted two plays adapted from the French, which were very kindly translated by Assistant Professors Perry and Weston. The curtain-raiser was Bernard's The Man Who Knew French, which was very well received, owing to the comical interpretation of his lines by Everett Hazelton, who played the Star role. The second play was Moliere's classic, A Doctor in Spite of Himself, the real literary and dramatic value of which exceeds without doubt that of any play attempted by the club in previous years. Everett Hazelton so well demonstrated his dramatic ability in the parts taken by him in The Man from Mexico and The School Mistress that he was unanimously elected president of the club this year, and his excellent work and his Sincere belief in the new undertaking is accountable for its success. His dry humor and his comic attitudes have given us all many good laughs. A ' joe Hanson has not only shown his histrionic ability in thc role of a girl in My Friend from India and The School Mis- 140 WILLIAMS COLLEGE CLASS BOOK tress, but his make-up in these parts proved so effectivetthat many a true illusion was produced. The juvenile part of Cobden in The Man Who Knew French showed that Joe could essay the role of a male as well as a female, and if there were any doubts in our minds as to this, they weresoon dispelled when we viewed his interpretation of the nurse in A Doctor in Spite of Himself. john Carlisle showed excellent ability in playing feminine roles, and charmed us as a very winning and attractive girl. Allie Latson has been a very valuable asset to the club on account of his marked talent in imitating different dialects. We are all familiar with his Irish brogue of this year. Butch Engelhard was not elected to the club until senior year, but this year, in his role of the 'tough bellboy, he has easily proved himself worthy of the name of a pastmaster in the dramatic art. Marcus Richards made tl1e club junior year and took a rather hard part in The School Mistress very creditably. Beaumont Pennell gave promise of becoming one of our best girls, but he had to stop his dramatic work owing to illness. Tim West- brook and Louis Tifft 'complete our number of actors, but they are among our sometime members, both leaving at the end of sophomore year. One of the most noticeable features of the dramatic work of the college during the last two years has been that under the direction of the Department of English of the college. The pro- duction of Doctor Faustus junior year and The Jew of Malta senior year were truly ambitious undertakings and received the appreciation of the audiences in due measure. VIRGIL P. ICLINE MUSICAL ORGANIZATIONS GLEN CLUB MANDOT4IN CLUB CARL D. MA1'Z, Leader HAR1iY R. JOHNSTON, Leader, 1908, 1909 ll CHARLES B. HORMEL, Manager' Unfortunately the class of nineteen nine has not shone so markedly in musical lines as in many others. On the Glee club it has had one member freshman year, two sophomore year, three WILLIAMS COLLEGE CLASS BOOK 141 junior year and four senior year-at least showing an annual improvement. The quartets, so numerous of late, are due in a great measure to the work of Matz, the leader of the Glee club for the last year, and the enjoyment derived from this institution at college smokers and elsewhere has been great. The work of the choir and tl1e marked improvement in the singing of the undergraduates at college meetings and athletic contests must be credited in part to the enterprise of nineteen nine, and particu- larly to the ability of Matz as a leader. Q The Mandolin club has been more popular with us and has had one, seven, five and six members of the class in it each of the years respectively. Under the leadership of Johnston for the last two years there has been a felicity of selections and success in adding color to the entertainments given. Joe Hanson has been another mainstay of that club, and these two have been the originators of the well-known quintet. Fowler, Swain and Rogers have been on the Banjo club, and here again Johnston and Swain have lent their abilities. But if nineteen nine cannot boast of a large representation in the clubs, she can nevertheless claim the victory of the first inter- class singing contest, inaugurated by the management of the associations in 1908. For this victory the large share of praise must be given to Brown for his song Our Mother, which won the prize for the best of the new songs. This competition plan has had a very good beginning and our earnest hopes are that it will continue as it has begun. In 'conclusion we wish to register our hopes that all the musical interests will continue to be of real interest and g'ive enjoyment, and that the coming years will bring their full quota of men of musical ability. CHARLES B. HORMIQL FOOTBALL GI1,1xEu'r L. MORSE, Caplain FRANK B. SAVRE, Manager In our freshman year, nineteen nine was ably represented on the varsity by Harter, who played throughout the season at left guard. The influence of the class was widely felt, moreover, in the hard work of many of its members upon the second eleven, I42 WILLIAMS COLLEGE CLASS BOOK whose efforts and perseverance had no small share in the develop- ment of the varsity teamg and that there was an abundance of promising football material was clearly shown in the class game with nineteen eight, in which the sophomores, with eight W men, were barely able to snatch a 6-o victory on a blocked kick. The season of our sophomore year marked a crisis in Williams football, of the last fall's team, seven men had left college or were unable to play, and entirely new conditions, brought about by radical changesin the rules, had to be met with a team com- posed largely of men inexperienced in varsity football. That seven members of nineteen nine CBrown, Gutterson, I-Iarter, Morse, Robb, Swain and Westbrookj were included in the final line-up, and that the team on which they played won a victory over Wesleyan and fought ties with Dartmouth and Amherst, shows how successfully the problem was met, and how largely the class aided in its solution. The next season, though marked with periods of weakness, ended gloriously, and the team that defeated Amherst 26-6 was probably the strongest one developed during our four years of college life. In this year, eight members of the class CBargfrede, Brown, Harter, Morse, Robb, Swain, Wadsworth and VVilliamsJ won the W, and their work was a heavy factor in the success of the team. In our senior year, seven men fl3argfrede, Brown, I-Iarter, Morse, Robb, Swain and Williamsj finished their work upon a Williams foot- ball team under the splendid leadership of Captain Morse. Though after the hard-fought' tie with the powerful Dartmouth eleven the season was marred by some erratic performances and ended in disappointment at Amherst, the team, and the senior members of the team, endeavored to maintain the Williams repu- tation for loyalty and determination and sportsmanship, and the work of Morse, both as captain and player, in the face of physical injuries and discouragement, is worthy to be remembered among the best athletic traditions of the college. - - CARROLL E.

Crzplaivz RICHARD HENDERSON EURICH, Manager No one admires a class that does not support the college teams through thick and thin, in success and failure, yet it is undenia- WILLIAMS COLLEGE CLASS BOOK 143 bly true that a team which wins from the best college teams in the country arouses enthusiasm for the game as nothing else can. For three seasons past we have cheered such a team from the VVeston Field bleachers. In the spring of freshman year the prospects seemed hopeless 3 only four regular men of the 1905 team were back, no experienced pitcher, and no material in the incoming class Cso the Gul. has recordedj. At this juncture Tom Dowd took hold, and with Captain Neild turned out a team that made baseball his- tory by defeating Harvard and Yale, by winning the Amherst series, and by taking Dartmouth into camp by a single score in the sixteenth inning of an almost errorless game. And what share in this did nineteen nine have? Why, from its ranks came those two kids that Old Man Neild had discovered and promptly taken under his fatherly care. The material on hand sophomore year seemed to promise a better team even than the memorable 1906 aggregation. But all signs fail in dry weather, or perhaps our hopes were set too high to be realized. At all events, we felt a little disappointedg still, surely, it was only the contrast which dulled in any degree the record of the IQO7 team. A successful trip carried the name and fame of Williams to Michigan C0-0, IO inningsj, Illinois CW. 2-Ill. 35, and Chicago CW. 4-C. zj. This year Wads- worth and Young again starred in the infield and ran the bases under Billy Lauder's coaching. ' With all the infield and two of the outfield back when the call for candidates came junior year, and Mr. Lauder to coach again, the college felt no fears for the outcome. Nor were they disap- pointed. Harvard was beaten 4-3, Princeton 7-2, and after an unfortunate exhibition against Amherst at WVilliamstown on Saturday of Commencement week, the team went down to Amherst the following Monday and finished the season and won the series with the prettiest game of the year. Besides Dez at second and Jimmy Young at short, nineteen nine had two other men, Lee Williams and Bob Sears, on the squad this year as substitute pitchers. lfVe can only conjecture what the record of senior year will be. The whole team has confidence in Tom Dowd, who is coaching this year. Wadsworth will have plenty of opportunity to use his I44 WILLIAMS COLLEGE CLASS BOOK inexhaustible energy in keeping the team up to top-notch form. VV ith eighteen games the schedule is necessarily a hard one, and admits of no slumps if the team is to make for itself a name fit to be written beside those of bygone VV illiams teams. With the departure of nineteen nine in June the college will lose not only Captain Wadsworth, who has played conspicuously at second base in every game since he has been in college, and Jimmy Young, who has been such a familiar figure at short stop in each game since his Hrst appearance freshman year, but also Williams, first substitute pitcher of last year. While nineteen nine has had but two representatives regularly on the baseball team, still the work of these two has been of the quality that counts. just as they have been inseparable in the past, so the writer feels confident that they will be this seasong that Jimmy will be back of Dez every minute, and that Dez will steady down and lead his team through the most successful season that the class of nineteen nine has yet seen. RICHARD H. EURICH TRACK G1Lnr:R'r HORRAX, Caplain W. H. Hocu, Mavzager Nineteen nine started its athletic career in the fall of 1905 when, in the annual sophomore-freshman track meet it defeated the men on nineteen eight by a total of 66y, to 5023 points. This wasthe first real athletic performance of the class and brought joy to their hearts by winning them the coveted privilege of smoking on the campus. In this meet, as in all others since, Gil, I-Iorrax has been the principal factor in determining the result. In the following spring nineteen nine again triumphed over nineteen eight in the class relay race, time 2 ZZIK. Other class relays have resulted in one more victory over nineteen eight and two defeats by nineteen ten. In all varsity contests nineteen nine has ever been proud of its star representative, Gil, I-Iorrax. From the time he entered college he has always been the mainstay of the track team, and has twice changed the N. E. I. A. A. record in the high jump, the last time to 5 feet HM inches. Doing his best always in competi- WILLIAMS COLLEGE CLASS BOOK 145 tion, courteous ever on field and track as in private life, he is generally held as an ideal Williams athlete, and we are truly proud of him. ln the high jump also Alec.l' Swain has done very good work for Williaiiis, and should go higher than ever this spring. ' A In Bonner, Cate and I-Iopkins nineteen nine has three excellent examples of men who have made themselves good athletes by persistent training and hard work. All three deserve great credit for their loyal spirit and the results that have been accomplished thereby. Hopkins has been a valuable man in dual meets and on the relay team, Cate was largely instrumental in winning the relay race against Amherst this year, and Bonner won a close second in the mile at Boston freshman year, despite the fact that he had saved his sprint. W WILLJAM H. Hocn BASKETBALL I L. M. HALL, ftlanager In no sport has Williams college been so consistently success- ful as in basketball. While we have been in college there have been three championship teams and one team, that of our sopho- more year, when we were very near to the championship. That Williams can turn out such teams even. when the prospects at the start of the seasons are far from encouraging is the result of the remarkable confidence which precedence gives to any organ- ization. To the successes of the past nineteen nine has con- tributed but a small measure. During freshman year Crawford showed his ability but for a short time. Sophomore year no member of the class was on the varsity five. Junior year Horrax at center and Johnston at guard contributed to the strength of the team, which won the New. England Intercollegiate champion- ship, and senior year I-lorrax was the sole member of the class to play on the team, which won every game on the schedule except the first contest of the season, that against M. I. T. To tell in detail the records of the basketball teams of Williams college is needless, for this, the winter sport of Williams, has established the greatest list of continuous victories the college has ever seen in any sport. ' LEVANT M. HALL 146 WILLIAMS COLLEGE CLASS 11001: TENNIS HOWARD S. Doon, Jllamzgcr Tennis at Williams tends to occupy an increasingly large place among the athletic interests of the college, if one can judge by the prosperity of the association, which numbers nearly one-half the college in its membership. To meet the increased demands a fourth college court has been built and will be ready at the open- ing of the season. It is further proposed to hold an interfrater- nity tennis tournament in addition to the usual singles and doubles tournaments this spring. The season last year was a most successful one. Defeated ,by the faculty in the First match, but one further defeat was suffered, that at Amherst, by the score of four matches to two. Brown and Union were completely outclassed and in these contests the Williams representatives won every match played. The best matches played were those with Dartmouth and Cornell. In the contest with Dartmouth the result was a tie, the Green securing three singles matches while Williams scored in one singles and the two doubles matches. The Cornell match, played at Prom. time, brought out the best tennis of the year and was won by Williams three matches to two. In the New England Inter- collegiates Williams secured two places in the semi-finals of the singles, but was unable to advance a man to the finals. In the finals of the doubles Captain Thompson and Oakley lost to Wes- leyan, but secured a half point toward the permanent champion- ship cup, in the contest for which Williams leads with six and one-half of the necessary eight points. - The season of 1908-1909 started with the National Intercol- legiates at Philadelphia, where the VVilliams representatives, Cap- tain Oakley and Kuh, after winning their first matches, lost to superior players in the second round. The -usual fal-l tennis tournament was successfully run off, the entry list being the largest in the history of the college. The outlook for this spring is very good, as but one place on the team remains to be filled, and of the abundance of material in the junior and freshman classes it should not be difficult to find a good man. i HCOWARD S. Donn NVILLIAMS COLLEGE CLASS BOOK I47 GOLF W. P. BUTTRICK, Illamzger The golf team last spring showed its true worth by defeating such teams as Princeton IO-8, Yale 11-I, and tieing the strong Nassau Country team 5-5, which is composed of some of the highest ranked golfers in the cou11try. This was probably the best showing ever made by a VVillian1s golf team. The fall season opened with bright prospects, but closedlwith not as good a record as had been expected. In spite of the loss of Allen and Lynde by graduation, there still remained four of the members of the victorious team of the spring. Williaiiis resigned from the New England Golf association in order to be eligible to play in the tournament of the Intercollegiate Golf association, of which 1eag'ue she has been a member for the last three years, but has -never sent a team to the tournaments. Witllotit the ser- vices of Dunning, '10, one of the best golfers in college, we were beaten by IrIarvard 8-I in this first tournament. It was unfor- tunate that wc drew this strong team as an opponent at the start, for it was a strange course to our players, whereas it was the home course of the I-Iarvard golfers. Other matches during the season have bee11 a victory over Adams 26-0, and a defeat by Albany SM-5. Matches for this coming spring have been scheduled with Adams, R. P. I., Albany, Columbia Apawamis, Princeton, Nassau, Yale and possibly Dartmouth. . Nineteen nine is well represented on the team by A. Lichtens hein, J. Matless and Wooclfiii, all of whom are good golfers and who will be missed next fall by the team. ' W. P. BUTTRICK HOCKEY C. F. BROWN, C'!lflf!l1'7I A. J. SANTRV, Jllanqgw' The past hockey season may be called a fairly successful one, when the standard of the teams which Williaxiis met this year is compared with that of teams played in former seasons. Of the twelve games scheduled eight were played, four resulting in 148 WILLIAMS COLLEGE CLASS BOOK victories for the Purple. Throughout the seasonthe team was greatly handicapped by lack of practice, and owing to this fact was prevented from playing the game of which it was capable if it had had proper chance for development. The first game, with Princeton, was played in New York City during the Christmas holidays, resulting in a victory for the Orange and Black by a 5-2 score. Princeton had already played three games, her team being well developed, but, nevertheless, the contest was close and exciting, especially in the first half. With no practice since this game, R. P. I. was met at the close of the vacation and defeated the varsity 644. In the next game, Williams was decisively beaten by Harvard in the second half, after playing evenly with the Crimson in the first period. The Dartmouth team, which defeated Yale and Princeton this season a11d secured second place in the Intercollegiate League, was victorious, 3-2, over Williams in a game in which the Purple team played hockey fully equal to that displayed by the Hanover men, victory only going to the Green in the last minute of play. The first victory was scored over Cornell, the Ithacan men being completely overwhelmed by the strong game of the VV illiams team. the latter winning by an 8-I score. M. I. T., a team which had defeated Dartmouth, next lost to Williams, and the season closed with two decisive victories over Amherst, the scores being 6-o, and 6-I. In hockey the class has always been well represented. Fresh- man year we had four men on the team, Brown, Jenkins, Mayer, and Wilcox, and of these Brown and jenkins have played on every team since. Williams ably filled this year the position of coverpoint left open by the graduation of Dewey Brown in 1908, while Buttrick has substituted at. goal for the past two seasons. h Though nineteen nine's graduation will leave three positions on the team to be filled, the prospects for a good rink next year are bright, and the means, which have always been lacking in the past, for developing new men should help to make up for the loss suffered by the graduation of Brown, Jenkins and Williams. ARTHUR I. SANTRY WILLIAMS COLLEGE CLASS BOOK 149 SWIMMING H. HARVEY PIKE, Mafzager CHARLES D. WADSWORTH, Caplain, 1907 The second year of swimming as a recognized sport at Williams has shown a great increase in interest, progress as regards the schedule, and more efficient work from the standpoint of training and practice. Throughout the season there have been a dozen men out regularly for practice. Under the able direction of Gould, 1910, captain for the last season, tl1e squad has been kept interested and coached to the best of amateur ability in the various events. VV ith only three members of last year's team to start the season with, several men of first-class ability have been developed. The members of nineteen nine who have competed in the meets during the year are: I-Iarter, who established a new record for the Amherst tank in the plunge for distance at sixty-three feetg VVadsw0i'th, captain of the team of 1907, and Pike and von VVitzleben. ' The schedule has included two meets with Amherst, one with Yale, an open handicap meet and a meet for a cup presented by Bowker, 1908, captain of last year's team. The first meet, with Yale at Williamstown, resulted in a victory for the visiting team, but when it is realized that the Yale representatives composed a team of championship rank the score of'54 to I8 is creditable. The first Amherst meet in Williamstown was a victory for Williams. The score of 442 to 262 showed the real strength of the team. The final intercollegiate meet at Amherst was scheduled to be between Brown, Amherst and Williams, but upon the forfeiture by Brown the two other colleges conducted a dual meet. The result was a 'victory for Amherst by the score of 52 to 20. The contests with Amherst showed clearly the need of a definite system of developing swimming at Williams. To take the place of this system of development two open meets, competed in by many of the undergraduates, served as a partial remedy, but the results as far as the matter of competition is concerned will not appear until next year. If the progress of the past three years continues in the future, there is little doubt but that swimming will be recognized as an important winter sport. H.

There has not been a class within the last ten years which has given to the athletics of its Alma Mater so many men as has nineteen nine. Practically all the men in the class who pretend to be athletes are of the first order-men whose prowess would be a credit to any college-and as a result of this, almost all of the athletes of the class have been debarred from participating in interclass con- tests because of their exceptional ability. Hence nineteen nine has been handicapped in class competition because the other classes have had men representing them who, while they were not good enough for the varsity, were yet better than the men in nineteen nine who did not pretend to have ability. Nineteen nine has always gone into class athletics for the pure sport of the game, rather than with the idea to win at any cost. Yet even with this heavy drain upon it for varsity material, nineteen nine is so wel.l balanced that out of the eighty odd men who graduate, forty-seven of them have taken part in some form of class athletics. FOOTBALL Well may nineteen nine be proud of its record in football. Freshman year the team played a schedule of four outside games, running up thirty-five pointsnto their opponents' fifteen. The team defeated Hoosick Falls H. S. and Troy H. S., I8-O and I7-0, respectivelyg tied Williamstown H. S., o-0, and lost to Hotchkiss, I5-O. In this latter game the midget VVadsworth distinguished himself by the way he handled Coy, now Yale's All-American captain. It was in one of these games also that Gil Morse, then probably the most awkward man in the world, made his first touchdown and laid the foundation for his brilliant varsity career. lfVhen Captain Gutterson led his men onto the field for the final and most important game of the year, that with our friends of nineteen eight, our team was opposed by an eleven on which eight varsity men were playing, while WILLIAMS COLLEGE CLASS BOOK 153 I-leiny Harter was the only varsity man we had. All of us remember how our team fought, and how they outrushed and outpunted their opponents, and the result is best given in the headlines of that most impartial of sheets-the Record- Luck Gives,Victory, Sophomores Outplayecl, Defeat 1909 6-0 on a Blocked Punt. Sophomore year, with Wadsworth captain, our team adminis- tered a crushing defeat to nineteen ten. It was during this game that the lion roared for the first time. The muddy condition of the field was' all that prevented the team from running up a big score, as it was, we were satisfied with 5-o, as nineteen ten never approached nearer than within sixty yards of our goal. The nineteen nine backfield, composed of Wadsworth, Robb, Westbrook and Brown, worked together beautifully. Who will ever forget the way noble George Engelhard plucked a forward pass out of the ether, and skillfully eluded all the men who were not within fifty yards of him, to be finally brought to earth after a thrilling run of ten yards? Or who of us will ever forget how our captain, seeing that we were fast approaching our opponents' goal, put in one substitute after another to save the day ?--and save it they did. Thus closes the football career of our class. Ten men of nineteen nine won their W's on the gridiron, and their work for the class was just as faithful as for the varsity.

The first test of our ability in this line we met nobly, the rapacious sopho- mores falling before our .might and the curves of Jolly Rogers to the tune of 5-3 in the annual fall game of freshman year. In the spring we beat nineteen six and nineteen eight, but lost the championship of the series to nineteen seven. Mary Green captained this team, and Bob Sears, as slab artist, held the strike-out record of the season, whiffing eight men in one game. Next fall as sophomores, we outplayed nineteen ten in a 4--4 game, which the upper-classmen stopped just as We were about to win. The keystone kids, jim and Dez., helped out in this game with some fancy battery work. Nineteen seven again won the regular class series in the spring and we finished in a triple tie for second place. The last game of the season with nineteen ten was the most exciting class game ever played on VVeston Field. The contest went into extra innings with the score I-I, but in the last half of the seventh inning Mickey MacDougall slammed out a double-sacker that brought home the berries. On consulting the score book it was discovered that Bohn Sears, who captained the team, had broken all records by striking out ten men, allowing no hits, and permitting only four men to reach first base. Junior year, with Harry Royce captain, the team was handi- capped by the loss of Sears, who went to the varsity, and as a result we finished in a tie for third place with nineteen eight. We are looking to senior year with great confidence in our nine. Also we are looking forward with the most pleasant anticipa- tions, because even though we do not Win every time, it is cer- tainly fine sport to watch our heroes in action. Every man handles himself like a ballplayer until the ball comes near him. The graceful Engelhard has been known to take a throw down to second on the top of his head, and Bill Menard, our veteran shortstop, has very often good-humoredly thrown the ball yards WILLIAMS COLLEGE CLASS BOOK 155 over Cal. ' W'oodruff's head, much to the latter's joy and con- tentment. Faithful Fritz Bargfrede and Wild William Hoch have been our mainstays behind the bat.

Fresh- man year nineteen nine beat nineteen eight's fast teanrby the score 66M--5oK3, thus giving us the privilege of smoking' on the street. Horrax won four firsts and a third. Nineteen nine slammed in the high jump and scored at least three points in every event. Sophomore year the football coaches would not let our weight men leave football practice to compete in the meet, and we were forced to give twenty-seven points to the freshmen, thus allowing them to win by the score of 69--48. In this meet Captain I-Iorrax outdid himself and scored six firsts. In class relay nineteen nine won its race two years and lost it twice. We defeated nineteen eightwith ease both freshman and junior years, and lost to nineteen ten sophomore and senior years through hard luck on the corners. Last year the custom of 156 WILLIAMS COLLEGE -CLASS BooK awarding numerals to the winning team was started. Horrax was the only man to run in every race of the four years.

' Alecf' Swain was- captain-manager-player sophomore year, and perhaps it was because he had too much responsibility that wc could only tie for last place with nineteen eight. We lost to the freshmen in a very exciting overtime game by the score of 22-IQ.

Nineteen nine won four games, two from nineteen eight and two from nineteen eleven, but lost both games to nineteen ten after another sensational contest in which we were defeated 18-16.
