FOREWORD f u HIS book is intended for the Class, the College and their friends. To those who are in that cate- gory, the faults of the book Will be outweighed by the virtue which it has and Will have 5 the virtue of picturing the individual efforts of loyal Williams men to better the College during their four-years' stay. In future years the Class Will not see the faults of this book When they pick it up to renew happy memories. It is given you, then, in full confidence that you Will be blind to its faults and deeply conscious of its beauties. t f N ?--6.1, . . -.. I I I I 1 I ll ' r i. Y I w V w ?

H. WINTER Treasurer: MASON HE Freshman year of the Class of Nineteen Eleven was one of ups and downs. To begin with, our Class was not one that gave promise of anything remarkable in the athletic line and the class of nineteen ten much overshadowed us in size, both physif cally and numerically. We managed to hold our own in the flag and sweater rushes but the baseball game went to the Sophomores after a hard struggle. The wonderful freedom of college life appealed to us, but we soon realized that we must find ourselves and that right early. As a class we were rather late in so doing, but here and there among us individuals began to follow the courses which have characterized them throughout the four years. 'We had two men on the nineteen seven Varsity football team, but one was prevented from taking part in the disastrous ll-0 game because of injuries. We lived through our first interclass basket- ball series somehow and then we succeeded to pattern our own Freshman schedule after that of the 1908 Varsity. We won most of our games and even took Andover into camp. The next big excitement was the Cane-time, and we feel with re- gret that it was the last of the good old mud-and-water rushes and yet are proud that we were one of the two last classes to par- ticipate in one of that kind, for we feel that both class and college spirit are stimulated to a great degree by such a rush. We did not get all the canes within the boundary but the spirit that we showed as a class for the first time made up in a large degree for the loss of part of the canes, and the Class showed its real worth and spirit by the way it stuck together and gave its rivals a royal fight that will long be remembered by all those who took part in the memorable Charityville scrap. Here it was that the Class seemed to have found itself. The closing of the hostilities came with the Burial of the Hatchet, and the outside people say that our Class had a larger proportion of our shirts intact than any pre- 10 WILLIAMS COLLEGE 1911 CLASS BOOK ceding class. Again the class spirit was line and the transparency battle at PreXie's hill was as much in our favor as such a one-sided affair can be. In track we had but one letter man during our Freshman year and boasted of but one in baseball also. The Class baseball tea.m, however, was one which we could be proud of, as they tied for the Championship and Would have won without doubt had another game been played to settle it. y As a whole, after attending the Banquet, our Freshman year most certainly assumed a roseate hue, but as a matter of fact it was one that we all look on with many happy thoughts and it is one of the sad things of a college man's life that so many good friends leave to enter business. During this whole year, but in the latter part especially, the spirit was more than could be asked, and we surely made the most of every opportunity that we had. ' JESSE DUDLEY PETERSON -.i,..1.

In a strange and unaccountable manner we realized soon after landing in Williamstown that we were in need of amuse- ment, and like other sophomore classes we turned to the freshmen as being best Htted for entertainers. Any such open and cordial reception as 1910 tendered us on our arrival Freshman year, was prevented by Faculty regulations, but we managed to have several frolics after dark when Shotgun Jarvis and other members of 1912 performed very acceptably for us by 'wrestling with Satan, playing strip-poker and carrying out the other time- honored hazing stunts and such new ones as our inventive geniuses could devise. What we did not do in the way of hazing was admirably attended to by Physician Barrett, and for the first few days of college it was a common sight to see some member of 1912 issuing forth from the Doctor's sanctum to make the rounds of Spring Street merchants in quest of Lifting Straps, Run- ning Oil, and A Key to the pitcher's box. The freshmen made bold to oppose us in a baseball series and track meet, in both of which the expected happened and over- whelming 1911 victories resulted. Those were the days before the introduction of the Tug-of-War and so after the last base- ball game we clashed with the freshmen in one of the old-time flagrushes. Of course a sophomore victory was the result. What other result could there have been when Battling Ogden stood raging in our front line? I do not need to record his harrowing deeds at that time, for the story of the terrible havoc and brutal slaughter wrought by him in the rnks of 1912 is indelibly written in our minds. In what had been heralded before the game as a sure football victory for the freshmen, we narrowly missed turning a tie game into a victory. m.....J THE CLASS, SOPHOMORE YEAR ,...,, -....,...,...1....,..1. -...,..,,-.-.-,..

WILLIAMS COLLEGE 1911 CLASS 'BOOK 13 After the Christmas vacation, jack Savage, the Prairie du Chien Flyer , and freshman class presidenlt, was detected several times in earnest conversation with the Hogan family, so we at Once suspected that the 1912 cane plans were being formulated. A long series of scouting expeditions over the surrounding country was at once entered upon by us, but besides causing considerable trouble and anxiety to the Williamstown agriculturalists, there were no results. At last Cane Week came. By a new regulation we were prevented from tying up or laying violenthands upon any member of 1912, and so our only course was a system of watch- ing. Vergil says that the recalling of past troubles is as great pleasure, and if this is true we shall have to record those long, cold, all-night watches on the lonely Williamstown roads as the greatest of delights. We all undoubtedly developed into excel- lent sentinels, but the height of watchfulness, the very acme of care and vigilance was reached by Dr. Greenballv Van Gorder and Scrapping Oakley, when on the morning of Cane Day, they held up a funeral procession on the North Bennington Road and made sure that it was not a carefully thought-out plan of the freshmen for transferring their canes. Then on Cane Night, Honest Frank Coan secured what was supposed to be sure dope by hiding under a couch and hearing Gil Morse ex- plain to a bunch of seniors that the canes were coming in across the golf links. Accordingly the barge with the reserve fighting. men, under the leadership of Jim Forgan, was hurried to the links and others were summoned from the outposts, so that finally we had a force together large enough to stop anything from a bundle of canes to an automobile. But as usual, the absolutely sure dope proved to be wrong, and the canes came in by another route. We had the satisfaction our Sophomore year of seeing Johnny Templeton turn out his second championship basketball team, and in baseball we saw the team wind up the season with five consecutive victories-a fitting end to the four years' services on the diamond of Captain Wadsworth and jimmy Young. Our Sophomore year was brought to a close by the final exams in June, and the banquet in Albany separated us to return the next year as upper-classmen. .

Oh! how we longed for weather cold enough to warrant our appearance in corduroys without causing paternal smiles among the grave old seniors . And had we not now reached that ,great epoch when our command f'Break it up! must inevitably be obeyed by underclassmen, even in times of the greatest excitement? Yes, we had arrived as jolly Juniors. We were now safe in a class of elective studies with no more iniquitous requirements of a cut- and-dried curriculum, When we returned from the summer vacation we missed a num- ber of the familiar faces. Not only had several of our classmates failed to resume their college work, but Professor Hewitt, Pro- fessor Spring and Rev. E. B. Parsons had retired from the active service of the institution, and the absence of these threemen, whom we -had learned to honor and respect, was keenly felt by us all. The first interest in the fall was, of course, in football. Under Dr. Newton's direction the material was rapidly rounded into shape and early promise of the team was realized in the season's results. Harvard defeated us only by the narrow margin of 8-6 and victories were secured over Cornell, Wesleyan and other colleges, a fitting climax being the 17-0 triumph. over Amherst on Weston Field. t 1 After the football season, interest centered around the inter- class basketball series, in which 1911 made a much better record than in previous years, but, by being twice defeated by a single point, lost the championship to the seniors. The Varsity five started inalmost at the point where they had left off at the triumphant close of -the previous season. The team was practically unchanged and went through the schedule of games without a defeat, winning for the fourth consecutive THE CLASS, JUNIOR YEAR WILLIAMS, COLLEGE 1911 CLASS Book 17 time the championship of New England and placing itself in 3 position to make a strong claim forthe intercollegiate cham- pionship. ' Williams also achieved success on the ice during this period, the hockey team defeating Princeton, champions of the intercollegiate league, and other fast sevens. During the early spring our Class entertained the College at a smoker, which proved one of the most enjoyable events of the year. In addition to the usual features a most successful innova- tion was a minstrel show presented by the Junior society, Fasces. After the joys of Easter we were deeply saddened and shocked to learn of the tragic drowning of Earle Piggott Kimball of New York City, which ,occurred during the vacation. Kimball had proved himself a faithful worker and a loyal friend, and his loss has been felt by both College and Class more deeply than words can express. I L The baseball season started in with a victory over Princeton, 2-0. Subsequent gamesjproved equally successful, Yale, Cornell, Wesleyan, Dartmouth and Amherst being successively, beaten. The only defeats were at the hands of Harvard and Amherst, and the championship of the colleges was conceded to Williams by most authorities. In interclass baseball 1911 again won the championship, mak- ing the third year in which the Class had failed to be surpassed in the sport. Well ahead of the appointed time the 1911 Gul appeared, and won immediate favor as one of the best annuals in years. Its art work, statistical records and general make-up were of the highest order. As a climax to the year's work the Class supper was held at the Hampton Hotel in Albany, and was greatly enjoyed by the few enthusiasts present. ' During the course of the year many improvements and changes were instituted. Currier Hall, with its commons, and the Alumni House were both opened, and various minor changes were made about the campus. The system of financing athletics by a tax based on room-rents went into effect that year for the first time. There were also various amendme nts made to the administrative rules. 18 WILLIAMS COLLEGE 1911 CLASS BOOK On the Whole, Junior year Was one of success and of progress, and again the theory was corroborated that the appearance of Halley's comet marks a great epoch-making period.

Vice President: NEWTON Treasurer: HEYWOOD O write up a history of Senior year at this early date is well-nigh impossible. We do not like to attempt it, for we can not believe that this, the last and best of our years at Williams, is so nearly at an end. It seems but a few days agoithat we returned to Williamstown to look over the freshman class and to attempt to realize our own new responsibilities as Seniors. We do not like to think that the goal of our strivings for the past four years is so near at hand. True, we have looked forward to this same goal with uneasiness and even with impatience at times, during our college course, wishing for that time when we would be thrown upon our own responsibility and would be given a chance to show our mettle inthe world of business. But now that it is so near, we hesitate. The expectation is better than the realization. y , p I But this Senior year has done much for us as individuals and as a class.: The serious responsibilities of our position as leaders in the College activities have given us much valuable experience and have made us better men. We have been drawn more and more closely together by the invisible bond of like interests and a common purpose, so that now as the time approaches for us to leave these surroundings which we have grown to love so dearly, we feel better fitted for the battles of life which lie before us, and more firmly united in the bond of Williams. It is not necessary here to dwell upon the different events of our Senior year. They are chronicled elsewhere in this volume under the heads of the various activities. One thing, however, should be mentioned in passing, that is the abolition of the under- class rushes. The creative genius and ingenuity of some of. our members was called upon and the result was an underclass tug- of-war, a push-ball' contest, and a series of canesprees, all of which have met with considerable success. The freshman peerade, THE CLASS, SENIOR YEAR . ,J WILLIAMS COLLEGE 1911 CLASS BOOK' 21 the HalloWe'en celebration, and other events included in the reg- ular program of senior year have passed by in the old Way. And now We are forced to realize that the time is nearly at hand when We must look back upon Senior year as We now look back upon the other years which We have spent here at Williams. Our College days Will soon be a reminiscence, instead of an anticipation as they were such a short time ago. . Our Ways are soon to part. We can no longer stand shoulder to shoulder and fight our battles together as We have done in the past. A new Way opens for each of us, and each must face the World alone. But as We go out from these surroundings, as We leave behind us the College which has fostered us and cared for us during our stay here, let each one of us remember that he bears With him a serious responsibility. We are college men. More than that, We are Wil.liams men, and the World expects more of us for that fact. For four ,years Williams has done its best for us. It is for us now to make good the obligations which We owe her, to do the very best that We can, and to give the verybest that We have,-to Williams. A JAMES D. LESTER S THE cLAss HAROLD STANARD ADAMS wo, Ad, Red Harold Stanard Adams, Theta Delta Chi, was born in Pitts- field, Mass., May 20, l888. ' His father is George S. Adams, president of the john S. Wolfe Co., a wholesale grain house. He prepared for college at the Pittsiield High School, but mod- estly disclaims any activity there. ' Since Wo has been in Billville he has been trying to see the funny side of things, to use his own words, and the Cow, thought his eyes so good that he has been one of those whom she has allowed to-,lead her to pastures new for the last three years. In spite of a sense of humor, Wo is a student, having taken two prizes in his Sophomore year. That he earned a Commencement appointment is sufficient proof of the statement in the preceding sentence. Freshman year Wo played on the College orchestra, and his artistictalents in another direction were shown by the fact that he understudied Harry Biggins as Imogene Parrott in ,Trelawney , and got away with it. But his main amuse- ment has been acting as stage manager for Cap and Bells, and incidentally for onepof the English Department plays. The A , ' Williamstown Opera House is as familiar to him as the Chem- l istry Lab, and as Wo has spe- w cialized in that department it is saying a good deal. Senior year r Wo was a member of the Fresh- man Parade and Hallowe'en Cel- ebration Committees, and his general reputation gave him the position of manager of this book. A habit of strolling about our peaceful 'campus behind a huge l and business-like corncob pipe obtained for him second place in the heavy smokers' depart- ment, and that nine men con- sider him the brightest man, while others hold him good- looking and well-dressed, shows ' that Wo is far from being a nonenity in the Class, for it is the dwell-known ,men who receive votes. 77 Address: 31 Henry Avenue, Pittsfield, Mass.

Anderson, was born on January 2, 1890, in Cambridge, Mass. He prepared for Wil- iiams at the Springfield High School, where he graduated in 1907. Most of Andy's time in Chapel has been spent holding down the identicalseat which he occupied Freshman year, not so much from a feeling of sentiment, however, as from a lack of ability to fool the Faculty. His roommate hints that since he gave up his Bible class at White Oaks several hearts are breaking. But breaks of another sort are Andy's favorites. He loves to march down Spring Street airing uncomplimentary remarks about cer- tain members of the Faculty, one of whom, as often as not, is walking right behind him. The cross-country runs have interest- ed him so much that he has often donned a suit and joined the group of hounds, and it is very seldom that he is not fairly up in the ranks when the tired run- ners sight the Gym. As a Math 9 shark, Andy has distinguished himself, though the factthat one of his diversions has been Swatch- ing others worki' would throw suspicion on the sources of his brilliancy. Andy has a good sen- sible view of life, is industrious, and has a saving sense of humor that will help him in his future occupation of teaching. F uture Occupation: Teaching.

Dr. George Andrews, his father, graduated from Williams with the Class of 1879, and in 1902 took a Ph. D. at Ohio Wesleyan. His brother, Llewellyn Andrews, was a member of 1906. Jigger came to Williams from Dalton High School, where he had been president of the class of 1907, and manager of the baseball team. ,Tigger claims that Williams runs in the family, but three members of the Class think that he never runs, for they voted for him for Laziest' Man. A more accurate knowledge of the object of their votes would probably reverse that decision. For although jigger has a lazy walk and a large, slow smile, combinedlwith a general deliberateness of action, his eyes belie him, and the fact that Jig has scrubbed for the Varsity baseball team for three years gives the lie direct to such imputations. The lazy man who can day after day give up those wonderfully warm spring after- noons to chasing baseballs for a hard-hitting Varsity does not exist. jigger has also won himself a name in Class baseball. Three years lingering about first I H+ base and right field made him captain of the 1911 champion- 1 ship team. His efforts in bas- I ketball were not so appreciated, but many a hot scrub game with I the score at the proverbial 19 to 19 tie has been won by a handy toss from Jigger. Con- tinual association with Cobb, the Class funny man, has given jig somewhat the appearance of a Cheshire cat. His first two years he roomed with Ty, and a good part of the Class is still at a loss to know whether he is still smiling at some of Fred's earlier humor, or in an- ' ticipation of the brilliant sallies still to come. jig, however, has a wit of his own, and his kindly manner and general optimistic outlook on life are, in all probabil- ity, the cause of his cheerfulness.

Y., May 21, 1890, the eldest of four children. His father, Jay Ferris Angevene, died in 1906 at Cornwall, N. Y. Angie had a varied career at the Highland and Poughkeepsie High Schools, where he was captain or a member of almost every team. As Angie was unmarried his first year, and confined himself to captaining the Class debating team, he was not very well known to his Class or to the College. His second year, however, he played on the Class football team, ran on the Class relay and trackteams, and made a VV on the Varsity relay. Since then he has contin- ually gained new honors. His first two years' activity made him a Varsity Debater, and finally Manager of the Debating Teams. Another form of his endeavors is shown by his own statement that losing out in the 'Record Competition' was the most un- pleasant event of his College course , but a slight compensation in the form of an election to the Gul Board was given him the next year. The Good Government Club and some of its committees have shared his spare moments, along with several other organiza- tions. As Superintendent of the c Braytonville Sunday School Sen- . ior year, he has stamped himself as a man interested in the deeper things of life. And one could hardly see Ange without ap- preciating this. He is earnest in all he does, and yet not at all sober. His roommates claim ' he has brains, and others in the Class also think so, for he received twelve votes for the man from the ranks of 1911 most likely to succeed. We all had a chance to hear his impassion- ed oratory in debates, but few can say to what heights Angie rose as a Democratic stump speaker. At any rate, if that opportunity was denied us, we have had many and better ones to know the man himself, and those who have taken advantage of them know a genial, purpose- ful man.

His father, John W. Bacher, died -two years later. Eddie prepared 'for college at Ware High School, Ware, Mass. Eddie says he has contributed to the Record ad infinitumf' As he made the Board Sophomore year, and was elected Associ- ate Editor and Editor-in-Chief successively, no one can gainsay his statementf Under him as chief, the Record has been very successfully guided, in spite of various stormy episodes, among which was Dr. N ewton's speech before the Amherst game, 1910. Eddie has a quiet disposition which places him in an ideal posi- tion for an editor. He has been interested in all College activ- ities, but largely from an editorial standpoint. Theqpolicy of the Record has evidenced this, and his editorials have always been temperate, yet showing, without ee the shadow of a doubt, where his convictions lay. He has been fair-minded, always giving both sides of every question judicial inspection before hazarding an opinion, but when his mind was made up, he has stuck to his guns. In the curriculum he has distinguished himself. Fresh- man year he was awarded Class Honors, and he is now the pos- sessor of a Phi Beta Kappa key. The Class appreciated this to some degree by giving him votes for Brightest Man, Most Scholar- l ly Man, and Most Energetic ' Man. He was also elected Class Historian.

His father, Boerne Bettrnan, who was a physician, died in Chicago in 1906. Ralph prepared for Williams at the Chicago University School and the University High School. Bett evidently thought he was built for a runner. His persis- tent efforts in the cross-country runs and the two-mile brought him no reward, and so his Junior year he turned to the lighter exercise of chess. In odd moments he and Walter Shaw managed the Gul in a very capable way. Bett was too good for this world, that is, he was too bright, forhe graduated in three years. At present he is following his father's footsteps, in the Medical Department at johns Hopkins University. Ralph says he cannot remember working much up here, and that his chief amusements were skiing and snow-shoeing, with an occasional trip into the mountains. Ralph is rather good- natured, with a ready laugh but always an eye to the serious side. Future Occupation: Medicine. Address: 12-14 State Street, Chicago, Ill.

He prepared for college at the Greenfleld High School. Ralph has spent four quiet years here, enjoying to the fullest extent the opportunities offered by the curriculum. 'He has been a member of the Philosophical Union his last two years, and this evinces a natural bent toward that portion of the curriculum in which he has specialized, Philosophy. He appears to the Class in the rather similar roles of Class Grind, Brightest, Meekest, and Most Scholarly Man. A Phi Beta Kappa key has rewarded his efforts as a student, and it is a well-deserved honor. Ralph says his chief diversions have been conversations and repose. Those who know him best say his conversation is 'worthy of a better name, and his manner itself is indicative of the last-named p y quality. Among his accomplish- ments he numbers a Rice Book , Prize and the Second Benedict - Prize in German, which has I 9 naturally led to membership in I Greenfield, Mass. l ' nn the Deutscher Verein.

His father was born in Munchweiler, Germany. Blute prepared for college at the Irving School, Tarrytown, N. Y. Although he came from the South, Blute took kindly to the New England winters and the sports that go with them. He has been seen on Stone Hill, mounted on skis which at Hrst were very unruly. Later, however, he mastered them so that his abil- ity to shoot down a hill and take a graceful fall at the bottom was really remarkable. As a -result he turned to snow-shoes, which afforded him fewer falls and more amusement. Golf has also occupied his time, and as his most pleasant event he records winning a handicap tournament from Hosford. A tendency to stutter has kept Blute rather quiet, but his roommates say he has an inexhaustible store of ' anecdotes and stories which do . not reach the rest of the Class. He was one who suffered under Mathematics 2 his Freshman year, in combination with French 1. Next year he was placed at the tender mercies of French 2. In view of this it is no small com- pliment to him that he is grad- uating without especial difhculty, for many a man has been mowed down by Second Year French alone. Aside from these courses, Mike has specialized in History and Economics, and as a result voted for Professor Droppers as Favorite Actor, along with many others of the Class. Room- ing with Corner, '12, gave him such an impression of that man's power as a poet that he voted him his favorite. ' Future Occupation: Business.

Herb prepared for Williams at Pratt Institute and Poly Prep, where he played baseball, basketball- and hockey, and was on the glee club and orchestra. , His first year here Herb made the Orchestra, and he has been a member ever since. Junior and Senior years he led it to more melodious efforts than- it had ever attained before. He also chanted with the Choir for four years, and his last year made the Glee Club. But Herb's talents in another direction were shown in the Amherst baseball game in the spring of 1910, when he made his letter, and again in the fall, when he played quarterback on tlllile Varsity Football team. He is, then, one of the three men in t e Class who hold two W's . Baseball and track numerals fell an easy prey to him in his Freshman and Sophomore years, and all this made the Class consider Herb one of its most versatile men, as well as one ofits best athletes. In spite of the time taken up by these activities, Herb has found time to run over to North Ad, and ' C' to loaf with a pipe for company. T Besides this, he has had the excep- tional privilege of playing basket- 1 s ball with the Faculty on Tues- day evenings during the wintell term, and this he records as his most amusing event. Those .of us who have pressed our noses up against .the cold glass Cthank Fortune for the man who broke the ground glass window and had it replaced with plainj heart- ily agree with Herb. There must have been some magical charm in Herb's playing, for 'the Faculty let him graduate at midyears of his Senior year, thus depriving the baseball team of a player who will be missed. Herb is energetic and business- like, though perhaps a little too self-conlident. Nevertheless he should make a good lawyer. Future Occupation: Law. Flatbush, N. Y.

Nine members of the Class mistook Hen's mild devotion to a good pipe and pleasant reveries as a sign that he was a fiend, and accordingly cast their votes for him as Class Chimney. Hen does not merit such abuse. His life here at Williams has shown him to be a true gentleman, clinging persistently to his own ideals, and largely tolerant of those held by others, no matter how oppo- site. Leal to his friends, Hen has won their admiration and praise. To the Class, however, these good qualities have not been so evident as they should, for Hen is very unobtrusive. His sole accomplishments have i been memberships in the Eco- nomics Club and the Deutscher Verein, but he has taken a great deal of interest in College activi- ties, and besides has made a name for himself as a scholar and a man. .

He is the son of Belvidere Brooks, General Manager of the Western Union Telegraph Com- pany. Pretzel prepared for Williams at the Horace Mann School, where he was on both the baseball and football teams. Pretzel is one of the Brooks trio that has helped make football history here at Williams. Bel, his older brother, was captain in 1909, and joe, the younger of the three, played on the same team. Pretzel scrubbed his first two years, playing against 1910 and 1912 on the Class team, and junior year had to sit in the stands and watch his brothers, for he had a bad knee. Senior year his efforts brought him a position as substitute tackle, and against Amherst he played a-game that he can remember in future years with satisfaction. As a pitcher, Pretzel showed up to good advantage Junior year, and it was largely - Y 2 ll 1 through his efforts that 1911 was i class champion. The Class looks to him for further successes in that line in the spring of Senior year. Freshman year Pretzel was one of the Cane Committee, and his exit from town the Fri- day before Cane Day was pictur- esque and exciting. A propen- sity for making humorous re- marks flxed him as toastmaster to the Junior-Banquet, where he was an unqualified success, at least in the minds of those who had time to listen. The neigh- boring hamlets have fascinated ,Pretzel more or less with their complex gaieties, and his short trips earned for him a Kappa Beta Phi Key. He is also a , member of -Golden Lion.

For three years he led the Class as Singing Leader, and so his last year he was naturally the College Leader. As an all-around ath- lete, Dick has shown his worth by winning the lst Lehman Cup in 1910. A terrible propensity to pun, a quiet humor, and a lot of energy put Dick on the Cow Board his Junior year. For four years golf has interested him so much that he made the team his first, played on it all four, and was captain his Senior year.

The English reading courses have taken a good deal of his time, and he is proud of the fact that he has taken eleven of the fourteen courses offered, for he characterizes them all as valuable and interesting.

Ray started trouble for himself Freshman year when he built an imitation conflagration in College Hall one evening after ves- pers. He produced the effect by lighting a red fire in the hall, and it was a very good joke to all save a certain gentleman whose temper was ruffled.

Ilt is a rather peculiar coincidence that the men who have been prominent in dramatics have also been the first married men in the class proper. Graves, '10, set the fashion and Bill followed. It may be due to the dramatic temperament. Bill married Miss Katharine Clary in the spring of 1910. Bill first appeared in dramatics as a maid in The Schoolmistressn, and as he won the Freshman Oratoricals, he was our March 17 speaker and reviled the Sophomores in choice language of the shopgirl, which was more suited to their intellects than any other dialect. Later he was toastmaster at the first banquet that 1911 enjoyed. His first modest part in The Sclioolmistressn led to others, and from playing as a serving-maid, he .

But fishing allured him every spring, and tennis also had its charms. ln the winter Bill was forced to one diversion, and for four years he has played bridge assiduously.

Sam prepared for Williams at the Albany Academy. g - As president of the Classical Society, Sam has reaped the re- ward of four years' hard work on Latin and Greek. Besides this scholarly attainment, the Geology Department can attest to his fondness for peat bogs, that masterful and comprehensive thesis on the Peat Deposits of Northern Berkshire being in a great part due to his efforts. But another and very important part of Sam's education has been received from the Albany damsels. Besides many Sunday evenings, ten daily letters are necessary. In summer golf and boating are his favorite amusements, but in winter the sonorous tintinnabulations of his cornet serve to en- liven the Berkshire Hall. Sam has not been a regular member of the College Orchestra because of the stress of letter-writing and classical meetings. During Freshman and Sophomore years the departments of German and French and the vaudeville shows at North Adams troubled his serenity, but now they have passed on, and he is living the simple life.

Flick prepared at the Williamstown High School, where he managed the football team, and was president of his class for two years. . Flick first made his appearance as a member of our ill-fated cane committee Freshman year. Though he had labored hard, his work was to a large degree lost, with two-thirds of our canes. Had it not been for parental influence, Flick would, in all prob- ability, have been a member of the Record Board. In debating, however, he has shown his greatest talents. His irst years he made preliminary trials in the Wesleyan debates, and after that, in Junior year, he was an. alternate in two debates and a member of the team that lost to Dart- mouth.

Flick was alternate for Fowle, '10, at the first meet- ing of the New England In- tercollegiate Oratorial League his Junior year, and Senior year carried on his shoulders the re- sponsibility of the presidency of that organization. As a result of all this, he is a member of A Delta Sigma Rho, the inter- collegiate debating society.

Eddie, ood Edwin Albert Fish, Sigma Phi, of Minneapolis, Minnesota, was born in that city on January 12, 1887. His father, Albert M. Fish, is of the firm of A. M. Fish and Co., grain dealers. Eddie prepared for college at the Hill School, where he was captain of the baseball team in 1906, the year he graduated. Eddie has had a varied college course. He entered Williams with 1910, but had to drop out and enter with 1911 at the Univer- sity of Minnesota. After studying there to good purpose, he re-entered Williams with 1911, and will graduate with us. For three years Eddie has amused himself by playing on the golf team, when he was not occupied, as he himself states, in sleeping. In the spring, Eddie has played baseball with his Class all four years. Infield and outfield are all alike to him, and as a hitter he has pulled out many a 7 close game. However, activities about College are not Eddie's only accomplishments. He is a member of Stryx, one of the 1910 class clubs, and he sports a Kappa Beta Phi key. It was also rumored that he ac- companied the Fleet as a stow- away on several trips. All this would indicate that Eddie has found more in his college course than the curriculum and college activities have to offer.

Monk, Welt, Fish john Welton Fisher, Jr., Phi Delta Theta, son of Dr. J. W. Fisher, Medical .Director of the Northwestern Mutual Life Insurance Co., was born in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, on February 13, 1889, the second of two children. Fish prepared for college at East Division High School, Milwaukee, and the Northwestern Military Academy, Highland Park, Illinois. Monk slaved for the Record his first two years, to the detriment of his curriculum work, and more than that, his health. This became increasingly evident when he was forced to go home during Freshman year because of illness, and after having made the Record Board, being an associate editor for two years, and managing editor for part of his Senior year, he was forced to resign. He was also one of those whom the 1911 Gul editor hounded to death Junior year. Monk was a member of the famous band organized by Wood, '10, but his musical talent has been displayed in a better light for four years on the orchestra, and for one year on the mandolin club as violin. - Welt can tell of experiences during a Christmas vacation spent in studying French 2 Cwhich, by the way, he passed after six trialsj, that surpass any of Dr. Cook's best make. Billville can be cold at times, and wild cats in the cellar are usual events, so that Fish feels qualihed to be an arctic explorer, especially when in search of food. Welton will manage the Class baseball team this spring, and thus is entitled to wear his numerals. He has been roused by promoters' talks and magazine articles into going into the fruit- raising business, and if he shows the same industry there that has characterized him in College, and will forget a little unnatural- ness of attitude, he must un- doubtedly make a success.

His father, a prominent lawyer hav- ing offices in Limerick, Dublin, and London, was killed in a taxicab accident on july 19, 1908. Frank prepared for college at a number of schools, among which are numbered Epworth College, Rhyl, North Wales, Queen Elizabeth Grammar School, Faversham, Kent, England 5 Mill Hill School, London, and the Deerheld Township High School, Highland Park, Illinois. Continuing his rather varied scholastic course, Frank attended Lake Forest College, Lake Forest, Illinois, with the class of 1911. He entered Williams from there in the fall of 1909. Here in College he has attacked the Philosophy and English Departments with great vigor. Having decided opinions of his own, no mean virtue nowadays, he has often raised his voice in dissen- tion on points where he differed from the instructor. A good pres- ence, a fair speaking voice, and a good speech won him the Hrst . prize in the Junior Moonlights. He has been here so short a time that his adaptation to college customs and his new classmatesis ratherto be admired. Senior year Frank served on a committee that determined the size and kind of caps that future generations of Fresh- men are to wear, to his own great delight, and their great disgust. Frank plans to enter the Union Theological Seminary next year. Future Occupation: Ministry. Address: Care of Mrs. H. P. Fitt, East Northfield, Mass.

Reggie prepared for college at the Friends Seminary in New York City, where he was editor of the school paper. Freshman year, Reggie's sole accomplishment, besides thrilling his classmates in Freshman Oratory with a deep and resonant voice, was to make the chess team. Sophomore year, that voice, with his brains, developed presumably by the chess if not the curric- ulum, put Reggie on the Class debating team, and won for him the first prize in Sophomore Moonlights. Then Reggie began to do things, and his efforts of previous years were recognized. He won Hrst and second prizes in the preliminary debates, and made the Varsity debating- teams in the Amherst-Wesleyan and Brown-Dartmouth Leagues. He was elected captain of the former, and president of the Adelphic Union his last year, and was elected to Delta Sigma Rho, l an intercollegiate debating fra- I ternity. During this time he - made the Lit Board, and acted as Chairman of the Good Govern- ment Club's Forestry Committee. In his literary efforts, Reggie has turned out some very excel- lent verse, and this talent was chiefly responsible for his elec- 1 tion to the Poet Laureateship of 1911. The Class also thinks him one of its most scholarly men., Reggie's voice is a good indicator of his character, for he is a deep and strong man with convictions and the ability to realize them in a great degree.

He was preceded at Williams by a brother, Sumner Ford, l908. Don prepared for college at the Adelphi Academy, Brook- lyn, where he was president of the senior class. Don in a moment of forgetfulness put down his avocations as tennis and bridge. From his splendid showing as. manager of Cap and Bells, one would think that he had not time to do much else but guard and watch over that organization. As a matter of fact, he has been on the W. C. A. Handbook Committee, com- peted for the Lit managership, and served as Chairman of the House Inspection Committee of the Good Government Club, and Chairman of the W. C. A. Finance Committee. This last is a- task for a man in itself . Don, however, has sauntered coolly through his college course, managing everything that he has been L called upon to do in the same level-headed, energetic manner. Cap and Bells has made more trips than ever before, due in some part to the cast, of course, but due also to Don's management. The Freshman trembled and paid up his W. C. A. dues at Don's approach. Don has also had the privilege of wearing the purple cap of the Deutscher Ve- rein, and this indication of his ability as a student was substan- tiated when he received a Com- mencement appointment. Never doing anything particularly me- teoric, but always steady and re- liable, capable and energetic, Don has displayed qualities that have ' won the admiration of all who know him.

Merrill Newcomb Gates, Gargoyle, Kappa Alpha, was born in Milwaukee, Wis., on june 27, 1890. His father, William Chaun- cey Gates, is with the Northwestern Mutual Life Insurance Co. Merrill, who now hails from Auburn, N. Y., prepared for college at the Academic High School of that town. Merrill has been so very busy during his college course that he very naturally states that Usleeping, or wanting toi' has been his chief diversion. As a member of the Record Board this state- ment is very vivid, and outsiders can only guess at the time spent in that office which should have been spent in bed. But when Merrill, in addition to the Record, also made the Cow his Fresh- man year, and was elected Editor-in-Chief his Senior year, and during this time served on several W. C. A. committees, took parts in Cap and Bells and English Department plays, was sec- retary of the Good Government Club, and president of the Eco- i nomics Club, time for such rec- I reation as he mentioned and the necessary attention to cur- riculum must have been very limited. Yet Merrill took the 1 First Benedict Prize in Mathe- matics his Sophomore year, and has always been considered a r shark by his less gifted class- mates. He has been a member of two Class Banquet Commit- tees, and rumor has it that he owed his 'election to his sleek, I well-fed look. He was also elect- ed a member of the Honor System and No-Deal Agreement Committees, and at the Class meeting was chosen our Ivy Crator.

He is now president of the VValter H. Wood Mowing and Reaping Machine Co. Dan prepared for college at the Adirondack-Florida School. Dan was fortunate in entering Williams from a travelling school which boasted no teams or organizations, for it left him free to decide upon his own line of activities without any previous prej- udice or prep school rep . Some hard work his Sophomore year won for him the control of the Musical Clubs, and he has wielded them quite successfully as assistant manager and manager. He was mildly attracted by his roommateis literary talents, and though never hoping to equal Pat, he had two stories accepted by the Lit. An occasional appearance in Billville, between trips to Hoosick Falls, won Danny sundry votes for Social Lion. His room- mate declares that Dan has spent more time on the B. 85 M. than any man in all this world, not even excluding train-men. Flying about as he does, he has picked up sleep and lessons on the run, between dances, suppers and so on, yet all who have found Dan at rest for a moment de- clare that the end of the minute led but to a desire for another minute, and an increased liking.

His father, Ferdinand Gilder- sleeve, is a merchant. Dick prepared for college at the Middle- town High School, where he played baseball and football. Dick was one of the first men in our Class to become known to the College body Freshman year, but as his Hrst move was to become ineligible, what 'football ability he had was lost. However, he played on the scrubs, and has continued to Fido so for three years. He was quarter back on our Freshman team, and as a general showed up to good purpose when -he drove the team up to 1910's very goal-posts. For three 1 years Dick has disported himself on the Class baseball diamond, and has been one of 1911's main- stays in the outfield. He thus has the right to wear numerals for both baseball and football, the former being trebly won. A mild interest in golf was trans- formed' to an active one when he was appointed manager. Dick is a member of Golden Lion. As he has had to battle with the curriculum, he has been under a handicap for four years, and now expects to take another semester to graduate. Dick cherishes an undying enmity against Wes- leyan, which is inexplicable ex- L cept for the fact that he comes from near Middletown. Future Occupation: A Unde- cided. Address: Gildersleeve, Conn.

Bob has been very persistent in his efforts to make good at basketball. Freshman year he went out and stayed out. Sopho- more year he repeated the history of the preceding year. Junior year his reward came, and he made the Class team and was sub- stitute forward on the 1910 championship ive. It was not until Senior year that Bob really found himself, and then, at left for- ward on the Varsity, he displayed some of the form of his predeces- sor in that position. Bob was too light for basketball, and it speaks well for his grit and pluck that he finally made good. As a side issue, Bob came out for the part of Mr Hopkinson I ' in the play of that name. He had already taken a part in 'CT he Schoolmis-tress , but his work there was not to be compared with that in Mr, Hopkinson . In the latter part, his character portrayal was accurate, and his acting always roused the audience to enthusiastic laughter. As a member of the 1911 Champion- ship Basketball Team, Bob has the right to wear his numerals.

Bill has managed to keep himself pretty well hidden for three years. His last year, though still holding aloof from the under classes, he has blossomed out before his classmates and they have found him to be a fellow worth knowing, a keen observer of men and their weaknesses, and a man whose irony is gentle yet to the point. Bill has a weakness for sleep, but he controls it so well that in the morning he is always among the first in chapel. It seems that by careful manipulation of his schedule he has avoided all first hour exercises when possible and thus ,takes his breakfast with keener appetite and greater A zest and in more leisurely fashion than is otherwise possible, after l Chapel.

Along with that several men also gave him their votes for Laziest Man and Class Chimney. john has dressed himself in a more highly civi- lized fashion than most of his classmates, and his aversion to cor- duroys and fondness for a sporty ulster and Hossy hat had a great deal to do with the heavy vote for the above-mentioned honor. H But john has also had the hab- it of prowling to North Adams, and as it is one of his principal diversions, there may be other foundations for the opinion that the Class advanced so strongly.

Chet entered College With a determination to graduate Without trouble, and immediately began to Work like a regular student. It took him fully a year to become interested outside the curric- ulum, though Freshman year he made the Cow and the Orchestra. It Was in his Sophomore year that the Heywood-Robinson team aroused a College smoker to enthusiastic laughter, and since then Chet has been before the College, not only on the stage for Cap and Bells in parts too numerous to mention, but also as a man active in other lines. The Musical Clubs decided that his drum was necessary to their success, and the Class has elected him to every possible committee, on most of which he has served as 1 chairman.

Junior year Chet managed the Class baseballteam,Was one of the Gul's art editors and at the end of the year he Was elected presi- dent of Cap and Bells. Chet- ter's popularity in the College ' and Class is shown by his elec- tion as a cheer leader, as a mem- ber of the' Class Day Committee, and also as Prophet on Prophet, and by the fact that he received votes for the most original, most popular, best dressed, and handsomest man in the Class.

Remy, who prepared for Williams at Poly Prep, is the oldest of three children. , Remy was one of the bunch whose efforts 'in our first year added to the well-deserved fame of College Hall. During those peril- ous days when 'rough-house was rife, he showed his presence of mind by blowing a bugle in the face of a cow that some kind friend was driving to pasture in Remy's room. The result was startling. The herdsman thought he was involved in a stampede on the western plains, while Remy felt like a knight of old, who by his single-handed valor, drove the enemy from his walls. As Remy's room looked like an arsenal, it was no surprise to learn that he was a hunter and as soon as he could locate the organization, a member of the Gun Club. He was one of those who was responsible A for the Chemistry Club, and when he was able to break away from his numerous diversions Cshooting, skiing, snow-shoeing, walking, skating. and readingj, he appeared at a Philologian meet- ing.

Jerry neglected to say whether it was at Ashville or some other school or college that he gained the knowledge necessary to enter with 1911 in Sophomore year. At any rate he had the necessary requirements, and then just to show how easy the curriculum really was, he graduated in two and a half years. This accomplish- ment is rather remarkable when it is noted that Jerry was not voted for as a Class grind or brightest man. It never occurred to anyone that the good-natured fellow whom everyone liked, that spent his time behind a pipe, pushing the billiard balls around the table in true professional style, was a brilliant student. Jerry was a member of the No-Deal Committee, of the Economics 1 Club and led the Ohio Club for two years.

As Gil came from the Wild and Woolly Westn it is rather surpris- ing to find him one of the quietest members ofthe Class., Perhaps this Was due to his own rather sensitive nature. It was not long before Gil overcame that, and though he is still unselfish and in every Way a gentleman, his habit of retiring into his shell has disappeared.

Van received votes for the Brightest Man in his Class, and deserves more than he got, the same might be said of the votes he received for Laziest Man.

Harry prepared for Williams at the Phillips Exeter Academy. A A Harry, to use a popular phrase, is our 'fpineapple of politeness, for in the Class vote for the most thorough gentleman he stands head and shoulders above the also-ransf' Our Freshman year he played on the Mandolin Club, but the real bent of his talents was brought to light when the .Class elected him its basketball manager. He was a playing manager, too, and for three years he has been a substitute forward on the Class team. But his real talent, as was hinted above, was the managing of teams. Sophomore year he was manager of the Class football team and later was elected to the office of assistant manager of the Varsity. Senior year Harry developed into one of the best managers that a Williams team has ever -had the 'good fortune to have.

Augie was a member of Nineteen Twelve his first year, but soon made such progress that even against his own will he found himself ranked with Nineteen Eleven. When he realized that he could graduate in three years he made the best of it and decided to do so. But this is rather unfair to Gus, for he is quiet and as he became a member of the Class in an unobtrusive manner, he has not become very well known and his good qualities have been largely overlooked. He managed the Nineteen Twelve Gul during his last year, and it is doubtless due to the Senior manager that it came out so well financially.

Jim prepared for college at the Saratoga Springs High School and Hopkins Grammar School. jim is an example of a man who made himself while in college. He came to Williams without a prep school record and soon showed everyone that he was to be one of the big men in our Class by making the Varsity track team our first year. A bare enumeration of his offices would show how well he fulfilled this promise, for he has been on the Class and Varsity relay and track teams for four years, holds the college record in the quarter-mile and was elected captain his last year. He made his numerals in football, served on our Smoker committee Sophomore year, and his last two years has been-vice-president and president of the Class and assistant manager and manager of the Record successively, as well as a College cheer leader for both terms, and last, but not least, one of our class marshalls. Freshman year and Senior year he won the Philadelphia Alum- A ni Cup and the Lehman Cup, - e respectively. In answer to the question about the W. C. A. work, he stated that he had roomed with Parker and Van Gorder. Surely that was enough, but he also has worked faith- fully for the Williamstown Boys' Club. The list of achievements above give an idea of what Jim has done, and indicate that he must have qualities that make him popular, and so it is only natural to find that he received other votes for Most Popular, the Man Who Had Done Most For Williams, Best-Natured Man, and Best Athlete, all of which he deserves, for Jim is 0116 of those kindly humorous men who will always gain their own ends but never at the ex ense of others p .

Unfortunately for Jack he sprained his ankle Freshman yea.r and so discouraged most of his ambitions in athletics, though rumors of havoc wrought by him in a game of basketball or foot- ball at the Hoosac School are always prevalent. A sprained ankle, however serious, cannot prevent a golf fiend from pur- suing the little white ball for very long, and Jack proved no ex- ception to the rule, for he made the golf team his last two years. But Jack has been famed in another line of activities, i. e., in literature. Two years a member of the Lit Board, and one year on the Gul elected him to the chairmanship of the former. He has raised the tone of the Month- ly not only by his own work but by the high standards he has set for others. His essays have always been charming and in- teresting, and no one would have reason to expect them from a man with a cap and pipe like Iack's. This literary work has not prevented him from becom- ing an adept at bridge, nor has the combination prevented him from doing good work in the curriculum and being actively interested in the College. A ten- dency to indiscriminate criti- cism that Jack has acquired, is not due so much to an un- happy disposition as to an active interest in things in general, and a sincere wish to better them wherever it is possible.

Mac received his preliminary education at the Collegiate School in New York. Photography has held strong attractions for Frost, and any day you come around, if he is not out snapping at some landscape, he will show you hundreds of films of clouds and trees, and then some more trees. Anything that calls him into the hills on long tramps appeals to Mac, and there are not many trails unknown to him in the Berkshire Hills. This also partly caused him to take up boys' club work during his Junior year. Frost periodically faces the footlights as a member of .the .Banjo Club, and his steady interest in the Club has helped greatlyiin keeping up the standard. The Scotch blood which flows through his veins, and of which Mac loves to tell, has given him an element of conservatism, which, coupled with an abundance of good-nature and dry wit, has made him a welcome friend to all who have come to know him.

His father is Edward P. Mason, in the piano business in New York. Mase spent six months in 1905 at Volkman, but the major part of his training for college was acquired at the Gunnery School, where he exercised mildly in baseball, basketball and track. The long String Cno pun intendedj of noms de plumes, together with the number of Class oflices held by Seth, indicate fully the warm place that he holds in the hearts of his classmates. Homer has won this admiration because of his continued efforts to help Williams in every possible way and because of his inexhaustible supply of good-nature, which incidentally won him the vote for the Best-Natured Man in the Class. Athletics have made large demands upon Greg's time. He has won his numerals in foot- O ball, basketball and track, and possesses both a track and foot- ball Varsity letter. Greg has also featured as a veritable tower of strength as substitute center on the Varsity basketball team for three years. As for Class offices, suffice it to say that Greg has served on nearly every com- mittee that we have ever elected, and for this reason, if no other, has been elected as Class Grafter. We will best remember Greg, however, not for the mere list of concrete things which he has accomplished in College, but rather for his loyalty to Wil- liams.

A pair of spectacled eyes peering out from under a thatch of black hair, and beneath that a very classical mind, describes the impression that the Class has of Mess. Though he had been two years in College he did not join us until Senior year. We know that he has taken a prize or two in Latin or Greek and that he is either a shark Qnaturally brilliantj or a grind. Most of us are inclined toward the former supposition. His r classical attain- ments have made 'm president of the club of that name, and if Angelus had his w y, the meetings of the society would be carried on in Greek or Latin or a jargon of both, for it is his delight to air his perfection in the dead lan- guages thus. He is a member of 1 the Lyceum of Natural History, but how much further his bent in that direction has carried him it is impossible for the Class to judge, for Mess walks largely by himself. Considering his qualities, it is not surprising to learn that Mess is going to study at Harvard next year. Future Occupation: Graduate Work at Harvard. Address: 433 N.

He prepared for college at the Pitts- field High School. I Four years of Varsity baseball and the captaincy, Class Day President, fi Phi Beta Kappa key, a Varsity debater, three years leader of the Mandolin Club as well as the election as the Most Popular Man in the Class will give some idea of the scope of Iack's aims and accomplishments during his college course. Our Fresh- man year the, way in which jack, at third base, nailed the hot ones and sent them humming over to first brought joy to Nine- teen Eleven and the College. Sophomore year, realizing his duty as president of probably the best Class in the country, Ab led all the college batters and set a new average for future generations to strive for. It was Ab who broke up the famous ten-inning game with Cornell, and it is Ab who is even now turning out a ball team that will be a credit to Williams. With Homer Mason, jack appeared in a sketch at our Senior smoker that rivalled those of the Hey- wood-Robinson team. As a Col- lege cheer leader Jack was famed for his pantomimic shadow-boX- ing. Although he is a devout worshipper of Physician Barrett, Ab does not resemble that worthy save at the times when he is imitating him, and jack will long be remembered, not only as a ball-player, but also as a scholar and a man.

Newt has been a consistent worker on the track from the time when, as an ineligible Freshman year, he won the mile at the Troy Armory Meet, through Sophomore and junior years up to Senior year when he ran on the fast Varsity relay team. It was in the spring of 1910 that Doc won a letter at the N. E. I. A. A., and no one deserved it more than he. Along another line he has been equally active. As a debater he has figured prominently on the Varsity team for the last' two years. In the Class, Newt has been popular, securing several offices which led to his election to the I Class Day Committee and as Class Orator, thus making him one of the two men of the Class to whom the Class voted two honors. He received votes for the Most Respected and Handsomest Man in the Class. The foregoing shows that Doc is a well-rounded man, but it does not show his genial self-confidence and pur- poseful ability.

After trying most of the prep schools of the East, Oak thought he would take a chance at college and he liked the first one he struck so well that he stayed. He started Freshman year by being elected Class football manager, he also subbed onthe basketball and baseball teams and was on the ill-fated Cane Committee and played on the tennis team. Sophomore year he repeated hard, making Varsity catcher and being elected tennis captain, he also won the College tennis championship. In his second year he was on the Prom Committee and the Banquet Committee, as well as being vice-president of the Class, succeeding to the presidency in Junior year. His athletic work has been almost stopped during the last two years by a bad shoulder which frequently 'comes apart. His election as one of the Class marshals was popular and he figured largely in the Class elec- tions as a handsome, good- natured, athletic, social lion.

In Oggie's case, the Water fights of East College made him famous, and he certainly derived his name from his herculean stature. As a Freshman, Piggy amused the sophomores so much that they let him go after hearing his high school graduation piece, and it Was from this experience that the Kid got the idea of keeping quiet to avoid further trouble and later forgot that hazing had been abolished and that he, as a Senior, Would not be subject to it at any rate, for he has been very incon- spicuous.

Parker, a contractor. He spent the Hrst two years of his prepara- tion at the Proctor High School, and then attended the Central High School in Minneapolis from 1904 to 1906. It is an interesting and true fact that the answer which Fletcher gave to the question, What were your principal diversions? reveals the secret of the success of his college life. His answer to the above question was, Trying for things , and it is an es- tablished fact that no member of our Class has tried harder to do his part for the good cause of Williams than has Fletcher. From the time he entered College and joined the throng of Record candidates, until the close of his Senior year when he served as president of the largest college Good Government Club in this country, Fletcher's chief ambition has been to do things , and serve others. Not only on the athletic field as a sub, but as manager of the W. C. A. H aud- book, and later as vice-presi- dent of the Chiistian Associa- tion, he has shown a noble and enthusiastic spirit, always being willing to put himself out for others and fighting hard to make his own work a success. This splendid spirit of perseverance and unselfishness has won for him the admiration of us all and we will remember him as a hard worker, a Christian gentle- man, and the best kind of a friend.

Virgie prepared for college by spending one year at the Minerva Academy, Minerva, O., and for the rest of the time contented himself at the Medina High School. Virgie says he has held up the bass end of a quartette all four years at every Sunday School social between Bennington and Adams.

Four years on the Choir, however, have not passed so unnoticed. Musi- cal talent does not end Park's accomplishments. The English Department owes him many thanks for the excellent portrayal of parts in 4'The jew of Maltai' and Richard III . I.ogian-Technian has also fallen into his domain of activities, and Senior year he was on the No-Deal Agree- ment Committee and a member of the Philosophical Union.

He has played a mandolin on the Banjo and Mandolin Clubs for four and three years respectively and four years he has sung on the Choir and Crlee Clubs.

Pete has struggled against difficulties for .four years, though he has never complained save, for an occa- sional outburst against the Fac- ulty, to which We all are prone, and his successes have been due to hard Work in the face of these difficulties. In spite of the fact 1 that he has never been ineligible, he cannot graduate With the Class. He is a member of Kappa Beta Phi, Golden Lion, and Fasces.

He prepared for college at the Fort Wayne High School. Jim came East in the fall of 1907 to enter with us, but was refused admission because he had not fulfilled some small require- ments. He went to the University of Michigan and transferred back here the next year. As jim had played football at high school he came as a welcome aid to the little band of Sophomore warriors who were struggling in what proved to be a successful attempt to avert defeat at the hands of the freshmen. The nerve gained in that well-fought contest served him in good stead when he was chosen the first victim of the glider. His training as the lieutenant in the tower in Richard HI also gave him the correct military attitude in the face of danger. However, the 1 glider was not as fatal as was 1 supposed, so jim turned to pool, bobbing, skiing and theatre- going as more exciting diversions. He is occasionally seen with a book in his hand, and his belliger- i ent attitude toward Faculty and curriculum are well known. With Jim, grumbling is a fine art, and his efforts in that direction are humorous enough to take away any feeling of distaste which the perpetual knocker usually draws upon himself.

Phil prepared for college at the Kansas City High School and at the American School in Mexico City. , Phil gave a rather vague reason for traversing half the conti- nent in his search for knowledge, but is quite sure that he has made the right choice, for after having dropped out for one semester, he came back to us, evidently unable to stay away. He had enough college credit left to him to keep him in hopes of graduating with the Class, until the Dean cruelly told him that such an event would be impossible. Cree went to New York, saw a few shows, and inciden- tally passed ' a Physics exam- ination at Columbia which, when transferred, gave him the nec- essary credit here. Before Phil left at the end of Sophomore year, he had been elected as assistant manager of the Musical Clubs, but the big gap in his college course prevented him from taking part in College activities. He figured in the Class Vote as a sport and as one of the hand- somest as well as' best dressed men in the Class.

Lloyd prepared for college at the Boys' High School in Brooklyn and the Phillips Andover Academy. i As Robbie starts out by saying that he Was born in Brooklyn but could not help it and that his life has been spent under various hats, he must be given credit for being even more original and humorous than the Class supposed, for few recorded any humor on the first page of the questionnaire. Stud managed the Swimming Fish his Senior year, as he had succeeded in filling the arduous duties of the assistant the year before. It was on the vaudeville stage in the Heywood-Robinson Team that he made his World- Wide reputation, and three smokers have been enlivened by his songs and jokes. It was only to be expected that when he turned to more serious art, as represen- ted by Professor Gasleigh in Seven-Twenty-Eight of Cap and Bells fame that he would make the success that he did. Senior year his originality was employed on the Freshman Parade and the Senior HalloWe'en Celebration Committees, and later his above- mentioned appearances at College smokers put him on the Smoker Committee. He is also our Class Prophet and a member of Gol- den Lion and Kappa Beta Phi.

His father, Henry Shearman, is a retired paper manufacturer. He prepared for college at the Centenary Collegiate Institute, Hackettstown, N.

Had there been such a vote, Chappie would have had no opponents, for his three as- censions and his various aeronautical experiences have qualified him to try for a pilot's license. Our impressions of .Chappie up to Senior year were rather vague. As a class we knew him to be older than most of us, but beyond an occasional pleasant Hello, old chap , as we passed him on the street, or a glimpse of his ligure running along a country road with a steady stride that l looked as if it would last for- ever, we did not know him. Then suddenly he leaped into the limelight by making a record balloon trip with Leo Stevens, by organizing and leading the Aero Club, and by designing a new glider which was to be mounted on skis. He is a mem- ber of the United States Aero- nautical Reserve. This seems to mean that when all the other aeronauts are killed off, Chappie 1 will get a chance.

He is the eldest son of Theodore Starrett, the president of the firm of build- ers by that name. Bob prepared for Williains at the Collegiate School in New York, with the exception of his junior year, which was spent at the Yeates Institute at Lancaster, Pa. Stob concluded that the cinder path was for him a more. likely road to fame than the straight and narrow path of the W. C. A. Shaping his course with this end in view, he was entered in the 4110 in both of the interclass meets, winning his numerals in his Sophomore year, and he also ran in the interclass relays both the second and third years. His prominence in interclass track was sufficient to earn him a place on the Varsity team for the four years, and he wonhis letter by defeating Amherst in the dual meet in 1909, in a spectacular 440 which will never be for- gotten by any who were lucky enough to see it. But Bob's strong point has been as a finan- cier. He copped on to the as- sistant managership of the Lui in his Junior year, and since he has become full-fledged manager this year, he has been Hguring out his prohts nightly and mak- ing large investments.

Ken entered Williams from the Prospect Heights School of Brook- lyn, where he gave early evidence of literary ability by editing the school monthly, The Prospectus. Ken, having arrived within the classical confines of this insti- tution of learning, looked over the list of College activities and de- cided that literary and musical interests held the most attraction. Consequently, Ken went out for the Orchestra and has during the remainder of his course been a continued devotee of the muse of melody. He hasalso tried to prevent the periodic murder of the Sunday evening Amen forthe past two years, but has been out- numbered by the other members ofthe Choir. Kenis best efforts, however, havebeen centered in his work on the Record Board, 1 A and his work, after his election to the position of managing editor i in his Senior year, has done much l to bring the paper to its present A standard of excellence. The Kid participated in strenuous mental exercise over the problems which confronted the chess team Fresh- man year, took an active part in the far-famed debauches of the Deutscher Verein during the next two years, and during 1 the past year has served upon the Advisory Board of the Class- ical Sfociety.

In the fall of 1910 a fic- titious tailor from Boston brought suit against Ducky for the recov- ery of an equally fictitious Nor- folk jacket supposed to be in his possession. Closer investigation after two days of worry revealed the joke, and many in the Class had a laugh at Ducky's ex- pense. Though a member of the Mummy Club, Ducky is by no means a dead one, as those who took the Boston trip with the hockey team can testify. He is a member of the Photo Committee.

Van Gorder, in the real estate business with the Safe Deposit and Trust Company. Van prepared for Williams at the Central High School in Pittsburg, where he played on all the athletic teams he could find. Not content with this preparatory work Van jumped into athletics at Williams with his accustomed vigor. He has been a member of all the Class teams, and as a Freshman captained the Class baseball squad. Cutting circles on the ice has been Van's strong point and he has developed into one of the speediest for- wards that Williams has ever seen on the hockey rink, and was elected to captain the seven this season. Football made further demands upon Van's time, which, however, were rewarded with a letter in this year's Amherst game. The Doctor's ambitions have also caused him to descend briefly into the realms of drama and literature, but his main energy has been devoted to making the W. C. A. a potent factor in the life of ithe College. Acting first as treasurer, then as recording secretary, he has finally risen to the presidency, where his forceful' character and indomitable energy have caus- ed great strides to be made in the religious work of Williams. The respect in which Van is held by the Class is evidenced by the Class honors which have been awarded him during his course, by his election to Fasces and the Golden Lion, and by his being voted The .Man Who Has Done Most for Williams, the Most Energetic Man, and one of the two most respected men. The Doctor is a man whom any college would be sorry to lose, and Williams may well be proud of turning out men of Van's calibre. Future Occupation: Medicine.

His father, Arthur O yo e, B. Wetherell, is a physician. Wethy prepared for college at Worcester Academy, and at the Allen School, West Newton, Mass. Brynie has been prominent as a Class basketball player. A Inel- igibility has prevented him' from giving the College the benefit of his ability, but as he is to return next year, he will have another chance to show his mettle. That he was captain of the only cham- pionship basketballteam 1911 can boast, is a proof of the foregoing statement as to his ability. . Junior year Brynie also officiated at the massacres of the various classes who opposed us in baseball, and Senior year helwas a member of the committee who overlooked a more bloodthirsty series of battles, the cane contest. 1 Always cheerful, outspoken in his views, and inclined more towards pleas- ure than study, VVethy has 11' . spent a pleasant four years here in Billville. .

Y., was born in that city on August 9, 1889. His father, William K. West, died in 1902. Hub prepared for college at the Syracuse High School. Hub has never been recognized by his Class as an athlete, and perhaps with justice. However, if he had gone out Freshman year for the various teams for which hehas since striven so persistently, he might have had better success. It is a recognized fact that men who start to work Freshman year for class athletics, by that very fact gain a prior claim to recognition over the men who come out later. Hub found this especially true in our Class. It must not be imagined, however, that he was disgruntled bylhis lack of success. He cheerfully turned to other amusements and diver- sions, among, which letter-writing hgured prominently. This latter avocation gives grounds to the suspicion that Hub is a fusser. A quiet fellow, with a specula- tive turn of mind, Westy should make the persistence shown here in College count for something in business. Future Occupation: Business.

White, his father, is a contractor. Cliff prepared for college at the ,Lenox High School. ' Cliff is our meekest man. He is so quiet that he has always been seen and not heard, and some think that this applies to his three years on the AuXiliary.Choir. In his occasional appearances in that body he has hardly opened his mouth as wide as an ordinary mortal would in whispering, yet Cliff has a good tenor voice. He has spent many hours in the Gym, and has developed a marvel- lously accurate eye for throwing baskets, though he has never tried to put this acquirement to any use save in a scrub game now and then. A large part of the Class will be surprised to hear that 4 , f I Cliff has a slow wit concealed about him, which he displays to i great advantage when he is with his intimate friends.

He came among us from the Friends' School of Wash- ington, D. C. When the trumpet of Judgment Day is blown we doubt that Pat will move, he will take his pipe out of his mouth and talk it all over with the angel Gabriel, for he is a philosopher and is also considered one ofthe tired men of the Class. He radiates a dis- tinctly peaceful atmosphere, and is a charming host. He has taken no strenuous part in College activities, except to write for the Lit, which has during the past year been the richer for his humorous essays. He is a good deal of a French scholar, reading widely in that language, but not under the auspices of the French Department. He likes nothing better than a pipe and a talk over a little Hbon bockl' in a nearby city, and a most amusing com- panion he is. Pat's quiet and somewhat cynical sense of humor, I and his introspective grin, are well known to most of the Class. Future Occupation: Diplomat- ic service.

J., on August 4, 1889. His father, H. P.. Winter, is a banker with the firm of Winter Sc Smillie. Ernie prepared for college at the Lawrenceville School, where he was president of the school, and on the football, baseball, track and gym teams. ' Kid was rather uncommunicative Freshman year, yet in spite of that fact was elected Vice-President of the Class on his prep school reputation. He has justified that reputation most emphat- ically, however, by his work here in College, and has become in- creasingly popular with the Class, as is evidenced by the Class vote. He was chosen our Handsomest Man, and is held one of our best athletes. The French Department ' proved a stumbling-block to Kid, and he was ineligible the fall term of junior year. The spring of that year he played second base on the Varsity team, and as he has played on the football team the three years during 2 which he was eligible, he is one of the three ,men in our Class I who boast two Varsity letters. i Kid was at his best as a Varsity end Sophomore year, and few will, forget the heady, nervy game that he played against Dartmouth. Three years a mem- ber of the Mandolin Club, and one year on the Banjo Club, he has supplemented these ac- complishments by the writing of a Class song and constant piano playing. Under his elo- quent guidance the two under classes buried the war hatchet on March 17th.

Winter, who is also in Nineteen Eleven. He prepared for college at Newark Academy, Lawrenceville, and the Goff School, New York City. I Ty was given his nickname Freshman year by members of the Varsity baseball team, because they said his batting resembled that of a more famous player. He has been even less fortunate than his brother with regard to the curriculum, but during the various periods when he has been able to represent the College, has acted as captain of our Freshman football team, has played in one or two Varsity games, has been on the hockey team, and made most of the trips with the baseball team his Freshman and junior years. jowl has made a hit in the banjo-swinging act, but the music that he draws from his banjo in such violent solo work is hardly a fair criterion by which to judge his real talent. Four years on the Banjo Club attest to his skill and ability along that line. W'ith his brother, T y, sports a red cap and a Kappa Beta Phi key. Though overshadowed by Kid's athletic ability, Iowl is no whit less popular, and this popularity he owes to his own inherent good qualities. A Future Occupation: Unde- cided. .

In this second incarnation he has taken great delightiin History, his curriculum specialty, and English has also taken much ofhis time. For the last two years the Lit has been enlivened by his spritely criticisms of its contributors, and has been able to publish occasional flashes from his pen. He takes his amuse- ment chielly in winter walks, when most people are keeping the radiator warm, and in summer tennis, when less energetic souls are calling for another cold bottle. He knows most of the Faculty, and finds theminteresting friends as we all should. As a compan- A 1 ion he is unsurpassed, having a large fund of knowledge and being ever ready to draw upon it. He finds bridge worthy of many evenings, and plays a very . good game. Jollying is also much to his taste, and he revels in a foeman worthy of his steel.

VAN GORDER Vice-President: FLETCHER D. PARKER UT of the turmoil of religious debate and the whirlwind of 1 theologicaltechnicalities that characterized a portion of the preceding year, the Christian Association emerged with a new name and a good written Constitution. The voice of the re- former had ceased, the spirit of the dissatisfied had found its rest, and only a peaceful future beckoned to our Class, so far as our religious life was concerned. We have always been considered from the Christian Associa- tion's 'point of view a strong religious class. By this I do not mean a fervent body of Pre-Darwinian pietists, but a class which as a whole has taken a great part in the Christian work ofthe College. It is an impossibility to makea resume of the actual amount of Christian work that 1911 has done each year since the Freshman reception of 1907, and it would be as fruitless an endeavor to try to analyze our own peculiar religious spirit, if it can be said indeed that each class possesses such a thing characteristic of itself. The only criterion that we can employ in estimating the religious life of a body of college men is the number of individuals that have taken an active part in Christian work, and judging by this stan- dard, we as a class stand first in the history of the Association. J Some of us have taught workingmen's classes in Adams, some have worked in Sunday Schools, others have taken charge of boys' clubs, and still others have conducted Bible classes. . To a few Of us, possibly these activities have meant little more than amuse- ment or passing away of time, but to most of us they have brought a happiness and satisfaction that can be obtained in no other way than by coming into close contact with the lives of other people less fortunate than ourselves. f In regard to the-Association work itself, I am glad to report that so far as statistics mean anything, the pastyear has been more successful than any of those preceding. 1910 gave the work a splendid start last year, and there was no reason why we this 1-2 L.: -- H ,M M., 5 l 1 l V i i 9 1 I 3 3 A x I l , 1 l li A Q-....,..,f..f..rw.--M A..- --1-. ...1 lr WILLIAMS COLLEGE 1911 CLASS BOOK 139 year should not surpass their record. As a matter of fact, the work has grown and improved in every line of activity, the classes of foreigners in Adams, Bennington and North Adams have swelled in numbers, three new classes of Poles and Germans have been organized, the Boy Scout movement has been established in three different boys' clubs, a new Sunday School has been started in Braytonville, the Bible class attendance has shown a consider- able increase over that of last year, and interest in mission study has been even greater than could be hoped for. A great many entertainments also have been given this year in near-by communities, and the Association has been extremely fortunate in having for this work the kind and unselfish services of many men from our Class. A But it would be useless to enumerate all the various lines of Christian activity thatmembers of the Class have been engaged in, for after all, these things affect more vitally the individuals themselves than the Class as a whole. Let us simply be grateful as a class for all of the opportunities of service that have come to us and be glad that we can hand down to posterity so fine a record. L And now our college days are over. To some of us they have been glorious ones, and to others they have been darkened by dis- appointments and sorrows. Some of us have passed through periods of religious doubts and others of us have yet to find ourselves in matters of Christian faith. Through struggles and temptations, through sunshine and through joy, we step out upon the threshold of the world's activity. As the years fade into memories, let us forget the differences, the hardships, and the disappointments, and may our inspiration for work and service in the world be the sweeter things of our life together! p ' ' GEORGE W.

Editor-in-Chief: Business Manager: FRANK SPEER COAN FLETCHER DOUGLAS PARKER In the literary branches of College activity the Class of 1911 has played its part With credit. To be sure there have been no Writers of dazzling brilliancy in our ranks, but it is seldom that such men can be expected. The conducting of the various pub- lications, has, hoWever, been distributed among seventeen ca- pable men, Who have succeeded in carrying their respective charges through a year of marked achievement and steady advance. When the first elections from the Class of 1911 to the editorial board of the Literary Monthly Were held in the spring of Sophomore year, Loomis and Woolsey Were chosen to membership. Loomis Was made managing editor soon after, and during the past year he has had charge of the magazine as chairman of the board. The essay has been his special field and in his critical Writings he has shOWn a genuine appreciation of literary merit and a nice sense of the aesthetics. Someyof his happiest Work has been in the series of condensed essays entitled, Epochs of Williams . The short story has also commanded his attention, and in this, as in his other types of Writing, are evident his vigorvand ease of style and rare command of Words. Woolsey has specialized With the short story, although he has also contributed some read- 142 s WILLIAMS COLLEGE 1911 CLASS BOOK able essays to the magazine. His stories have shown gradual improvement and are, almost without exception, interesting and rousing. In March, 1910, Forbes was made an editor of the Lit, and both before and after election has borne the brunt of the poetical work. His first contribution printed was a clever little story, but since then he has devoted himself entirely to poetry, with varying degrees of success. Such compositions as The Song of Jethro the Potter and T he Angel of the Unknown Brother show a simple vigor and directness, combined with a pleasing melody, that is delightful. Of those not members of the board, the most frequent and probably the most able con- tributor has been Windom. Choosing unpretentious subjects, he treats them with a lightness of touch and whimsicalhumor that make his stories and essays as readable as anything produced by the undergraduates. Other men have contributed occasion- ally, 'often with marked success, and the table of contents shows the names of Adams, Geer, I-Iale, and Van Gorder. The business management of the paper has been in the hands of Starrett. , The Record has been skillfully guided through the turmoils and controversies of the year by Bacher as editor-in-chief, sup- ported by Fisher and Sturges successively in the position of man- aging editor. The iirst man elected to the board was Fisher, shortly before Christmas vacation Sophomore year. After a short but active term as managing editor, he was compelled to resign from the board last Fall. Sturges, the second man to be elected, succeeded Fisher, and took. in charge the responsibilities and duties of the position, which he ably and effrciently executed. The next man to be taken on the board was Gates, and in the early part of March, Bacher and Coan were added to thebody of the scribes. Bacher was elected associate editor that spring, and March of his Junior year became editor-in-chief. In this capacity hehas sur- passed his admirers' fondest hopes and has conducted the affairs of the paper with a saneness and virility that cannot have failed to commend itself to all readers. Lester has been the business manager of the Record. Coeval with the Class of 1911 is the Purple C ow, which made its initial appearance in the fall of 1907. When the original edi- tors first looked about for some unsuspecting Freshman upon whom to shift a part of their burden, they got, hold of Gates and f 'rf' WILLIAMS COLLEGE 1911 CLASS BOOK 143 Heywood, the former as a pusher of the pen and the latter as a wielder of the brush. After being funny for three years they suc- ceeded to the offices of editor-in-chief and chief art editor respec- tively, in which capacities they helped the bovine along her ascent up the grassy slopes ofsuccess. In March of Sophomore year Adams started his official career as a fountain of humor by re- ceiving an election to the board, and a few months later Campbell's radiant countenance appeared in the circle of the wits. The im- provements that have been made in the paper were rendered pos- sible by the successful management of Burton. . Besides taking this part in the regular periodicals, we have pro- duced one publication distinctively our own-the 1911 Guliel- mensian. Hale was editor-in-chief of the volume, with Ange- vene, Fisher, Gates, and Loomis as assistants, Heywood and Hub- bell were art editors, and Bettman and Shaw acted as managers. The Gul appeared in the early spring of Junior year and was most favorably received. The cover and binding were excellent, the historical. and statistical matter. accurate and, where possible, interesting, the drawings and photographs artistically executed and well chosen. The 1911 Gul is a credit to the editors and to the Class. - The Christian Association Handbook affords even less oppor- tunityfor originality then the Gul, but on this the Nineteen Eleven men have worked faithfully and well. Last year Coan was chair- man of the committee on publication, of which Ford and F. D. Parker were also members.. For the preceding number the board included Garfield, Gates and Heywood, and Freshman year it numbered Gates among its members. F. D. Parker managed the book very successfully Sophomore year. I In looking through the past four volumes of the College pub- lications we may well be proud of the part 1911 has taken in their production. , MERRILL NEWCOMB GATES DEBATIN G A - President: R. D.

In the first series, Lamprecht and Forbes sent Amherst down to defeat at Williams- town and Wesleyan fell an easy victim to the envenomed onslaughts of Newton and Fallon. The second series showed, however, a complete reversal of form-probably due to the fact that the men were overtrained. Newton, Fallon and Garfield succumbed to the Dartmouth orators on the home floor and Forbes, Lamprecht and Angevene were out-talked at Providence. The extreme dull- ness of the question-woman's suffrage-had a great deal to do with the defeats. l , Senior year both series resulted inties. Forbes and .Newton lost to Amherst, while Fallon and Lamprecht outscored Wesleyan. Later in the year Mills and Garfield sent Brown home in mourning, but Fallon, Forbes and Angevene restocked the home crepe market by allowing Dartmouth to take their measure at Hanover. Williams led the league, however, by securing the votes of four judges to Brown's three and Dartmouth's two. Of the men on the teams, Fallon has shown the greatest inter- est. He has been out for the teams for four years and was the first 1911 man to win a place, being chosen alternate his Sophomore year. Lamprecht and Angevene have been candidates for three years, Garfield, Newton, and Forbes for two, and Mills for one year. Fallon and Forbes have been on four teams, Lamprecht and Newton on three. Forbes captained both teams his Senior year. The batting average of the young men, compiled from ac- curate statistics, is as follows: W L P.C. I Mills ' 1 0 .1000 Lamprecht 2 1 . 667 Fallon 2 2 .500 Garield 1 1 . 500 Newton 1 2 .334 Forbes ' 31 3 . 250 Angevene 0 2 .000 F ' In interclass debates, the teams have been onlymoderately Freshman year Angevene, successful, having lost both debates. Gates, Lamprecht and Phillips were awed into submission by the Sophomore bullies, and the next year Angevene, Forbes, Powers i A WILLIAMS COLLEGE 1911 CLASS BOOK g 145 and St. Denis were too gentlemanly to the freshmen and anowed the latter to bear away the laurel wreath in triumph. Forbes Served as president of the Adelphic Union his Senior year and ewton 'held down the office of first assistant president. The Logian-Technian has always claimed the breathless interest of the Class and has numbered among its officers such men as Cartwright, Coan, Eldredge, Mason, Mills, J. V. Parker and R. D. Sherman. The New England Oratorical League vaunts the name of Fallon at the top of its official letter head. So runs the debat- ing history of the Class of Nineteen Eleven. But the end is not yet. We shall hear more some day from that group of profound thinkers who are now in the .Van Vechten contest, solving great world problems at a half-hour's'notice. S I I I. B. ANGEVENE 9 DRAMATICS I 9 President: Chester D. Heywood M anager: Donald Ford Stage M anager: Harold S. Adams Since 1911 entered College, Cap and Bells has presented eight plays, in all of which the Class has been ably represented. Fresh- man year The Schoolmistressw was given. The next year the club gave two plays translated from the French, The ,Man Who Knew French and A Doctor in Spite of Himself, and in the spring of this year, The Importance of Being Ernestu was given. Junior year the club became more ambitious and put on Tre- lawney of the Wells and Everyman, followed by Mr, Hop- kinson for the May and June performances. This year Cap and Bells has given Seven Twenty Eight, which proved to be very popular. Throughout the year the club has been exceeding- ly active, giving nine performances, six of which have been staged away from Williamstown at Troy, Northampton, Brooklyn, Hudson, Binghamton and Poughkeepsie. Not only has 1911 given a number of star actors to the club but also has surpassed all the other classes in point of numbers, having fourteen members of the club, all of whom, with two ex- ceptions, have taken active parts in the plays. The members who have taken the leading roles are: Heywood, Dolph, Gilmore, andRobinson. Although Chet Heywood made his first appear- ance as John Worthington, Jr., in The Importance of Being l ! , , I. il . . il 1 146 WILLIAMS COLLEGE 1911 CLASS BOOK Ernest, it was not until later, when he took such character parts as O'Dwyer in Trelawney of the Wells, ' and the Earl of Addle- ton in Mr. Hopkinson' that we recognized his ability. In the last-named part he moved the audience to peals of laughter. At the end of junior year the club elected him president, and during this year he put so much enthusiasm into the work that a great deal of the success this year is due to him. This year Chet took the part of Launcelot Bargiss, which he Hlled with great skill. 1 Bill Dolph has appeared chiefly in feminine parts. He first played the role, of Jane Chipman in The Schoolmistressw. Sophomore year, Bill took the part of Lucinda in the Doctor in Spite of Himself . In Trelawney of the Wells , he ably portrayed the character of Avonia Bunn. He was cast as the Duchess of Braceborough' in Mr. Hopkinson . In every pro- duction, Bill played his part excellently. Gifted with considerable stage presence and gracefulness, he was able to overcome the diffi- culties of taking girls' parts, and by making such a good-looking girl he quite aroused the jealousy of many in the audience. Another one of our stars was Bob Gilmore, who so ably filled the part of Mr. Hopkinson, an interpretation which meant much for the success of the play. Gilmore was also cast as Mr. Saunders in The Schoolmistressw. - Senior year a new star appeared on the horizon in the shape of .Lloyd Robinson. In Seven Twenty Eight , he has acted the very difficult part of Professor Gasleigh. He has done this with such success that it is regretted by all that the club did not have his services in previous years. However, he has done so well this year that he must be considered as one of the leading actors in College. A A It is too bad that Harry Biggins was not in College this year as in previous years he was among the foremost on the Williams stage. Freshman year, Harry played the part of Miss Dyott, the chief feminine role in f'The Schoolmistressn. As Imogene Parrot he again showed his ability. ' Redford K. johnson has been one of our chief comedians. He took parts in Trelawney of the Wells and A Doctor In Spite of Himselfn, in both of which he made a distinct hit. Merrill N. Gates hasiilled minorparts creditably. 1 -':Ls-.1--.-L.-Fas,-..----1-fs. -f.--x-.v....N--,-.-,. ...-...-.-....... .7-...,. ii - ,, Y, Y Q, H , J WILLIAMS COLLEGE 1911 CLASS BOOK 147 The summary ofthe work of the Class in dramatics would not be complete without a word in Commendation of the work done by Harold Adams as stage manager.

Taking an active interest in the club, he has improved the staging Con- ditions of the productions far above those of previous years. DONALD FORD ,ln the spring of 1911 it occurred to Manager Ford that the annual English Department play might consolidate with Cap and Bells with great satisfaction to both organizations. After a consultation, the consolidation was officially brought about, and hereafter Cap and Bells will stage all of the College's dramatics productions and annually give one play chosen by and under the auspices of the English Department. I. TRACY HALE, JR. A MUs1cAL ORGANIZATIONS 1 A ABBOTT PAIGE MILLS DANFORTH GEER, JR. Leader Banjo Club Manager - Freshman year 1911 did not contribute any men to the Musical Association as far as the Glee Club is concerned. Hardwick, who later left College, Kissam, and Peterson,-however, were chosen to adorn the Mandolin Club, while Mills, jones, and the Winters were taken on for their ability to play the banjo. .Sophomore year Peterson began to sing on the Glee Club, and ,although not capable of the profound basso effects with which Tiny Page delighted the ear, has been a valuable songster, besides getting many a laugh from audiences by his expert evolutions of the scalp in the Phoney Phive . Leland and the Wisners were taken on the Mandolin Club, as Well as Heywood, whose work With the snare drum and the 'fdingle instruments put spirit into the se- lections. Macnee and Hemphill completed the 1911 personnel of the association with their sprightly twanging on the banjo. The following year several more of the Class swelled the num- bers of the association, 1911 contributing fifteen out of a total of forty. Mills led the Banjo Club in fine style, and has again this year. With jones and H. F. Winter he has formed a trio whose amazing skill in rendering tunes upon cavorting instruments 14:8 WILLIAMS COLLEGE 1911 CLASS BOOK has always won enthusiastic applause at concerts. 1911 has now even a larger representation, -numbering eighteen out of forty-two members of the Clubs. In the College quartette of smoker fame, 1911 shares the honors with 1912, Dodd and Gar- field singing respectivelysecond tenor and second bass. While not strictly musical, the work of Cobb in connection with the association ought not to be omitted. Ty's7' skillful and hu- morous performances have supplied a needed variety to the musical program and have added materially to the year's successful con- certs. ' Although the Committee on Administration has allowed but one trip, that to Northampton on December ninth, 1910, which required cuts, it has evinced a more lenient attitude with regard to concerts than has been the case for the past two years. The excellent performances of the Clubs, resulting from hard and constant practice, deserves recognition, and next year may they be allowed more trips. I , . p DANFORTH GEER, JR. FOOTBALL Captainf J. DUDLEY PETERSON M anager: HAROLD H. KISSAM When 1911 first came on the football Held, four years ago, it had to face a pretty hardproposition. Captain Elder had back, that fall, twelve veterans as a nucleus for his new team. So it was with a determination to displace some of-the regulars that our Class commenced work. Peterson soon found a place on the Varsity and his work in the Hrst year was more than creditable. His attack in the Wesleyan .game was particularly effective. He was considered one of the fastest backs on the gridiron, and his long runs in the Amherst game contributed much towards that memorable 26-6 victory. E. H. Winter acted as substitute throughout most of the season, and went into the Amherst game as full back in place of Robb. G. Mason substituted in several games. A. A. Gardner, on the Class team, displayed great foot- ball ability and gave promise of a place on the Varsity. He left College, however, at the end of Sophomore year, and went to Syra- cuse where he played on the freshman team. Sophomore year on the Varsity, we had the same two repre- sentatives, J. D. Peterson and E. H. Winter. Peterson played L... 3 QT..- . M.. - --V ,.--. --- .-.1---:vera-.aa 1...fa.... -2 .....-.a,.....,- ....,i....,.. -..,.....w.. A.. .-,,.

Peterson showed his best form at half back in the Dart- mouth game, which resulted in a 0-0 tie. In this game Quarter- back E. Williams, 1909, was injured and E. H. Winter proved a worthy substitute at quarter back. The following men played on the scrubs during that season: Bruce Brooks, G. Latimer, G. Mason. But the Amherst game bearing its 4-0 defeat was soon to come and dull the hearts of all. 1 j junior year, E. H. Winter was lost by Faculty restrictions and Peterson alone represented 1911, although G. Mason, G. W. Van Gorder' and M. Olcott rendered some valuable service both as substitutes on the Varsity and as members .of :that ever unappreciated second team. junior year the members of the second team from the Class were: G. O. Latimer, J. T. Hale, jr., E. M. Radway, F. H. Parker, H. F. Bohnet, M. Olcott, jr., and G. Mason. The football season of 1909 was one of the most successful the College has ever enjoyed. Harvard just barely managed to carry away a victory with an 8-6 score, and Cornell and Amherst were both met and defeated, the latter by a score of 17-0. It is with great pride that a member of the 1910 team can look back to his college days and reflect on the season-a hard one and a successful one. In great contrasttothe season of 1909 stands the season of 1910. Peterson was selected to captain the team Senior year. As far as the outlook on paper was concerned, the prospects for a rather successful season were bright, although eight men of the- 1910 team were lost by graduation, yet there were four positions to be filled. But when the men returned for early football practice the squad was without Matschke and Brooks and C. H. Rogers, who was a fast member of the backfield, having had two years of Varsity experience. Matschke, who was the mainstay of the line last year, left College to enter business. His consistent and aggressive work on both the attack and defence was a feature, and his loss was a great blow to the team this year. The loss of Brooks, '13, who fell into Faculty complications, was also deep- ly felt. With these reverses the season opened. The hard and consistent work of the scrubs for the past three years was not to go by unrewarded, however, for B. Brooks, I I 1 1 1 I 1 1 l l 1 1 1 1. l 1 17 li ' 1 11 1 I I 1 I 1 1 1 1 1 'l 1 I ! 1 1! ll 1 5 11 .1 1 1 1: l 1! . W1 11 1 11 150 WILLIAMS COLLEGE 1911 CLASS BOOK I. T. Hale, G. Mason and G. W. Van Gorder soon secured places on the Varsity. Captain Peterson received an injury in the New York University game, which kept him off the field for the rest of the season, and he was only able to appear at the kick off in the Amherst game. E. H. Winter joined the squad again Senior year, andphis i generalship throughout the season, on the whole, was good.' Beatty Stevens who won the punting contest last spring was with the squad this fall. His kicking, handling and running back of punts inthe Amherst game was particularly com- mendable. The work of G. .Mason in the line was valuable. G. Mason secured the loving cup offered to the man who had progressed most during the season. G. W. Van Gorder and J. T. Hale were both hard and consistent players, making the Varsity Senior year after three years of preliminary Work on the second team. W r The Varsity representatives from the Class Senior year were as follows: D. Peterson Cnear half backjg B. Stevens, r.h.b., B. Brooks, r.g. and .5 E. H. Winter, q.b., G. Mason, T. and C., J. T. Hale, le., Van Gorder, q.b. 5 H. F. Bohnet, l.h.b. The tie game played with Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute in the early season seemed like an omen foretelling the unsuccess- ful season to come, and an unsuccessful one it was when the team finally went down to defeat before Amherst by an 8-0 score. ' During our four years at.College the Class has seen two defeats at the hands of Amherst, and two victories. The two defeats were at Amherst, the two victories at Williamstown. It was the highest ambition of every member of 1911 to see Amherst beaten in football on her own field before the Class as a body was to break up and go out into the world, but in spite of the hard fight put up by the team this fall and in spite of the untiring efforts of Dr. S. B. Newton, who coached the team this season, it was not to happen. Our chance is over. In conclusion, our hearts go out to 1913 imploring that they may realize, when they become Seniors, that theirs is the next opportunity to administer upon Amherst a football defeat on her own field. 4 y A HAROLD HUNTER KISSAM W-N--1 - , 1. - V- ---..

MILLS M anager: CLIFFORD'HEMPHILL It is seldom that one class has the opportunity of witnessing such continued baseball prosperity throughout its college career as has 1911. For three consecutive years Williams has turned out teams which have figured most conspicuously in the colle- giate baseball world, and 1911 has contributed generously towards their success. Although Mills, playing a star game at third base, was the only man to make his W Freshman year, neverthe- less his consistent work in that important position of the infield showed that Williams would be in no need of a third baseman for several years to come. We contributed copiously, however, to that body of men which is always necessary for a winning team, and H. F. Winter, Dodd, Van Gorder, Oakley and Bohnet were among those who rendered their unselfish services for the benefit of the Varsity. Harvard and Princeton were defeated this year, and three of the four game series Cnever again to be experiencedj with Amherst were won handily. H The outlook for the 1909 team seemed exceedingly bright 5 seven veterans formed a nucleus for Coach Dowd to work upon. The team did not strike its gait until very late in the season, but finished up in whirlwind style with live significant victories. This year the versatility of Mills was shown by the creditable way with which he covered Hrst base, which position had been vacated by the graduation of Captain Harman. A most important factor of the season was the work of Mills with the bat. He at- tained the highest batting average of any college ball player, and his clever bunts brought in many needed runs for the Purple. Oakley won his W in the backstop position during this season and distinguished himself by his strong throwsto second and by his effective work with the stick. A treacherous shoulder, how- ever, has unfortunately kept him out of the game most of the time since then. I I Little need be said here of the 1910 team. It enjoyed one of the most successful seasons that a Williams team has ever ex- perienced and there was little hesitancy on the part of critics, and newspaper men in placing our 1910 Vfarsity at the top of the Eastern Intercollegiate Baseball ladder. Decisive victories over Yale, Princeton, Holy Cross, Amherst, Cornell, Dartmouth and I 1 1 1 1 1 i , . 1 -It 1 1 I.

H. Winter proving worthy running mates to Mills, whom we again find holding down the third sack. Brownis hard drives through second with men on bases came at most opportune times and clinched many other- wise doubtful victories. Bohnet played a sure game throughout the season and his work at the bat in the Amherst game was a feature. His graduation at mid-years will be severely felt. It is a significant fact that more men mad-e their baseball W Junior year than any other class .since our first appearance here. At the close of the 1910 season, Mills was elected captain for the en- suing year. ' -A .1 Another Championship team seems to be rounding into shape at present, and with a plentiful supply of promising Freshmen material there is no reason why last year's record should not be duplicated if not surpassed. Brown's loss at shortstop leaves a vacancy hard to be filled, but we can trust Captain Mills to find a worthy substitute, under his leadership we feel sure that a team of championship calibre will deserve our support during the last season of our career. . CLIFFORD HEMPHILL TRACK ' Captain: JAMES D. LESTER R. W. TAYLOR, Manager ' In the fall of 1907 when the Track 'candidates were called for the Underclass Meet, Campbell, 'Mason and Newton showed themselves to be material, and in the Interclass events held a week later, Lester took a first in the 880-yard run. These four men have formed the nucleus for our Track history and they have never failed to place, whether it be a dual with Amherst or an Intercollegiates at Brookline. y In the 1911-1912 Underclass Meet, Mason was entered in the three weight events and he took all three first places. Campbell gained an equal number of points inthe sprints, while Starrett, Lester and Newton took the honors in the 1140-yard dash, 880- yard run and the mile. -,-aya-...mf if 1--. -- --:--.1 .Y-. 1--.., ..... ,.., ......,- . .....-,, .,......-... ........,..-.......,..-A.f,..u,-Q WILLIAMS COLLEGE 1911 CLASS BOOK 153 At the Wesleyan dual meet- in 1910, Lester ran the prettiest quarter mile we have ever seen, and he broke the College record for that event, putting the figures down to 49 2-5 seconds. Jimmy began doing things when he secured a place on the Varsity relay his Freshman year, and since that time he has run with the quar- tette, captaining the team his Senior year. We have always been able to bank on him for points and he has placed all the way from Amherst to Brookline. . Newton has tried the distances since the Underclass events and besides winning the cross-country runs for three years, he has taken first places in the mile and two-mile by comfortable margins. We will always remember him as a strong, consistent runner, never failing to bring home points. In the dual -meet with Amherst our Sophomore year, Starrett took a first in the 440 and Coan led the way in the mile. Campbell has captained his Class relay team for four years and they would still be winning if the season could be kept up. Dick placed at the Boston lVIeet in 1910. and won the much, coveted W in the half-mile. What pleases us all the most is the relay team that Lester cap- tained his Senior year. We contributed three men to that quar- tette, and they won from Harvard at the Boston games, in the fastest time that a.Williams team has ever covered the course. Two weeks later they went to Troy and againthey made a new record when they defeated Wesleyan and Colgate in a three- cornered event. ROBERT WENDELL TAYLOR BASKETBALL ' Manager: Paul Dana Basketball is the one sport at Williams in which Williams has never failed to turn out a good team. This has been particu- larly true during 1911's career in College. The first three years we' won the New England Championship, and although we failed to secure it this year, the season Tas a whole was successful. Prac- tically all of the credit of this remarkable series of championships is due to the four members of the team from the 1910 class,,and 1911's part has been as a result a minor onej However, 1911 has had at least two men as substitutes each year, and Senior 154 WILLIAMS COLLEGE 1911 CLASS BOOK year one man played regularly on the team. Freshman year Mason and Oakley got into several games and won their BVVB . Sophomore and Junior years they were again substitutes, while Gilmore also substituted junior year. Senior year, with the four 1910 stars gone, practically a whole new team had to be developed. Gilmore, who showed great improvement, secured the position of left forward and played there throughout the season. He played a hard and fairly consistent game and scored the most baskets for the team during the season. Mason substituted at center in several games, but Oakley on account of an injury was unable to play- Wetherell played the whole of one game at guard and gave a good account of himself, but, unfortunately, the mid-years made him ineligible for the remainder of the season. Although 1911 has had so few Varsity men in basketball, it has supplied nearly all the members for the scrub team since Freshman year. A good scrub makes a good varsity team, and too much credit cannot be given to the many members of the 1911 Class who have at various, times composed the scrubs. The prospects for good teams in the near future are very bright, and 1911 leaves College with every omen favorable for the maintain- ing of Williams' former high standard in basketball. A PAUL DANA 1 HooKEY Captain: G. W. VAN .GORDER M anager: C. C. SWAN Although the hockey team had the advantage of thenew Weston Field Rink and weather conditions were favorable throughout, the season was not so successful as might have been expected from the recordof last year's team. There was a lack of first-class mate- rial, and illness and ineligibility necessitated many changes in the lineup. The men who finally composed the team played consistently the best games of which they were capable, and the fact that the team was unable to win the majority of its games should not be attributed to indifference or lack of spirit on the part of the players. The schedule was a difficult one, and out of the ten 'games ar- ranged, nine were played. Only two of these resulted in victories for the Purple, while the second game with Amherst ended in a tie. Almost all of the games were well played, and in many the result was in doubt until the last minute. 1 44 WILLIAMS COLLEGE 1911 CLASS BOOK 155 The season opened with a defeat of 6 to 3 at the hands of M. A. C., who later proved themselves to be one of the fastest teams in New England. In the next game with R. P. I., Williams com- pletely outclassed her opponents. by an ll-0 score. Princeton was played in New York during the holidays and won from us in the last minute of a fast and exciting game with a score of 3-2. The game scheduled with Trinity for january 111th had to be cancelled because of lack of ice. On slushy ice, which was less troublesome to our opponents than ourselves, we lost our first game to Amherst, 2-0. The next game was played with the Loudon Field Club in Albany, and although the Field Club had a lead of four goals after the first half, they won finally by only a 6 to 5 tally. The second game with the Field Club, played at Williams- town, resulted in an easy victory of 10-2 for the visitors. We next played M. I. T. at the Boston Arena, and received at their hands the worst defeat of the year, 12-3. In the next game, with Amherst at Amherst, the team played much better and the game resulted in a 1-1 tie, which four five-minute extra periods failed to break, The final game of the season played at West Point, ended with a Purple victory of 3-2. This year hockey took a more important place than ever' in intercollegiate sport. Our new rink and hockey house made it far more popular here than it ever has beenbefore, and the bleachers werecrowded at all the home games. The Class has always been well represented on the hockey team. Since Freshman year Van Gorder has been the fastest man on our forward line, and there have been few games in which he has not scored more than one goal. Senior year, as captain, Van led the team in the best way possible, and was its mainstay. Peterson also hasplayed during his whole course, as a substi- tute his Freshman year, and as point on the Varsity the last three years. Pete, although never a brilliant player, has worked hard and played a good, consistent game. Hemphill has been awarded his insignia for the last two years, playing last year as a substi- tute, and this year after Christmas as a Varsity wing. Cliff has worked and trained hard for theteam ever since he has been in College, and this year played a remarkably good game, VVinter came out for the team this year for the Hrst time, and made good. Gow played a good, steady game, shooting hard, and played wing 7:,.-Tait.: ...Q-.. :A . :'1-Ta.:-- f.-fffr:-eg-2-v 1.1-sw,-e-,......., ..,........ ...... . . - . 156 WILLIAMS COLLEGE 1911 CLASS BOOK on the Varsity until mid-years made him ineligible. Olcott has been a substitute on the team for the. last two years, and was awarded his insignia last year. Marv has played a good, steady game both at wing and cover point, and if it hadnnot been for his trouble with his eyes would have undoubtedly had a regular place. And now let me express a word of praise for former managers who have brought this fine sport into prominence at Williams, and the hope that next year the interest in it will increase as much again as it did this -year. ' , A CLINTON C. SWAN XSWIMMING ' Manager: LLOYD ROBINSON I In the season. of 1911 the swimming fish have enjoyed well- merited success. On February 11th, Amherst journeyed to the shores of the Williams tank and were defeated in accordance with tradition. On the 18th of the same month the team went to Providence and there succumbed to the superior speed of the Brown men. A few weeks later, however, at the Amherst-Brown-Wil- liams Triangular Meet held at Amherst, we turned the tables on the Brunonians and tied with Amherst for first place. In this meet Captain Doan broke the records for the two-twenty and four- forty yard swims, and the relay team set a new mark for future reference. Paul Dana, of the illustrious Class of 1911, was a mem- ber of this speedy quartette. It is to the untiring efforts of F. E. Bowker, '08, and of Cap- tain Doan that the success of the team is in a large measure due. At Bowker's suggestion, Mr. F. J. Ahearn was secured as coach for two weeks prior to the Amherst dual meet, and later in the season, Bowker presented three medals Cgold, silver and bronzej the competition for which was opento the entire College. Captain Doan won first place in this meet, thereby proving himself the best all-around swimmer in College. In recognition of his abil- ity as a leader and a swimmer, the team has re-elected Doan to the captaincy. A The limitation of its schedule to but three meets a year is a serious handicap to the development of the swimming team. However, it has won a permanent place on the roll of Williams athletic teams and has shown itself worthy of the support of the Ad WILLIAMS COLLEGE 1911 CLASS BOOK I 157 College at large. It is to be hoped that the future will see an in- creased schedule and the subsequent improvement and develop- ment which would be the inevitable result of contact with other colleges. I 7 LLOYD ROBINSON . GOLF I Captain: R. D. CAMPBELL M anager: R. GILDERSLEEVE' The golf season of 1909-10 was not a very successful one, as four of the five matches which were played resulted in defeats. Only six matches appeared on the schedule as compared with ten for the previous year. ' The first of these, with the Adams Country Club, was cancelled. The Albany Country Club was defeated by the score of 111-10. A three days' trip was taken to Rye, N. Y,, and Glen Cove, L. I. Williams was defeated by the Apa- wanis Country Club 10 1-2-6, by Princeton 6-3, by the Nassau Country Club 8-7, and also by the strong Yale team 9-6. The Intercollegiates were held in the fall at Manchester, Vt. Here Williams was beaten in every match by Princeton, although most of them were carried to the last green. In the individual matches, Standish was the only Williams player to qualify. He was defeated, however, in the first round by F. A. Martin of Dartmouth by one up in an extra hole match. Lack of familiar- ity with the course did not permit the team to do itself justice. Another match was played with the Albany Country Club, which resulted in a defeat for .Williams by the score of 17-12. Benning- ton, however, proved no match for us. V Although no definite schedule has been arranged for this spring, negotiations are under way for matches with Cornell, Dartmouth, Amherst, Princeton, Yale, and the Nassau Country Club. Of the 1911 men playing on the team, Campbell has played four years, while others who have played at various times are Fish, Loomis, Taylor. I - RICHARD GILDERSLEEVE . TENNIS P M anager: ALEXANDER C. HOOKER Nineteen Eleven has been well represented in tennis since the first of Freshman year. Two of her members have been captain, 158 WILLIAMS COLLEGE 1911 CLASS BOOK and one of these, Lawrence Oakley, has been the College champion for three years. Freshman year Roper was the first man of Nineteen Eleven to play on the Varsity, followed shortly by Oakley, who represented Williams with T. K. Thompson in the Intercollegiates at Long- wood. Sophomore year Oakley and Roper were the only veterans on the team, Oakley being captain. Under his leadership the team did itself justice, winning three matches and losing only the one with Amherst. Kuh, Roper and Benton represented Williams at Longwood but failed to score. Oakley at the time was playing baseball. 'Roper was elected captain for Junior year and on his failure to return to College, Benton, '10, was chosen. Last year the Varsity started a successful season by defeating the Faculty team 5-1 in the opening match. A victory over the Springfield Country Club followed with the same score, the Syracuse team proved an easy opponent, losing every match to Williams, Dartmouth, however, completely turned the tables and gave the Varsity their only defeat of the season. Trinity! like Syracuse, although putting up a good fight, failed to win a match, while Wesleyan was defeated by a score of 4-2. The season was crowned by a defeat of the Amherst team at Amherst by a score of 5-2, the only victory over our rival in tennis since Nine- teen Elevencame to College. i 1 Of the Nineteen Eleven men who have won their tennis insignia Oakley, has played every year a fast, consistent game, often bril- liant. We are counting a great deal on him in the coming season. Roper played a good game the two years that he was in College, and his loss has been felt considerably. Cobb and Hemphill made the team Junior year. Both played a steady and consistent, although not wholly brilliant, game. Q An increased interest has been shown since Nineteen Eleven have been in College, las indicated by the -large entry lists in the fall and spring tournaments. As an intercollegiate sport it is in- creasing in- popularity at Williams, and the schedule has gradually become more representative, including for the coming season matches with Cornell, Columbia, Dartmouth, Amherst, Wesleyan, and Trinity. With so hard a schedule the calibre of the team will be fully tested. Conger, '12, is captain, Oakley and Cobb, '11, complete the nucleus for the formation of this yearls team. Pro- vided Oakley does notreserve hisenergy for baseball, good re- sult-s may be hoped for duringthe coming season. ALEXANDER CAMPBELL HOOKER '.-.'ifE.iE51'.....

The truth of this remark is borne out by a glance at the athletic record of the Class. Freshman year we had few first-rate athletes, and the showing made by the Class during that year could hardly be called more than mediocre. Sophomore and junior years, however, the wearers of the red and blue pushed themselves into prominence, until Senior -year found them just as prominent in athletics as any class that has ever' graduated from Williams, with a very few notable exceptions. Thus, the record of the Class in athletics is that of a gradual, consistent development, a record of which all Nineteen Eleven men may well be proud. W 0 FOOTBALLQ 0 1 Perhaps the only period in the athletic history of the Class over which 1911 men would willingly draw a veil, is the football season of Freshman year. It must be admitted that our Freshman team was hardly 'an organization calculated to make the natives sit up and take notice. Most of our gridiron warriors were light and inexperienced, and they did not exhibit much team work and co-operation until the second half of that awful contest with 1910. After tying the local high school youths in a no-score game, the painful battle of Lakeville, Conn., took place, in which our beloved team was roughly treated by the young men of ' Hotchkiss School. This game is worth noting, however, for in it Battling Gus Gardiner first came into prominence as a line smasher. More was heard of Gus later. In fact, one of the redeeming features of our 11-0 defeat at the hands Cor feetl of 1910 Cif there can be any redeeming features to an 11-0 defeatj was the way in which rough-and-ready Gus ripped up the sophomore line. 1910 scored their two touchdowns in the first ten minutes of play, before our men were .fully roused to the exigencies of the situation. The second half was all ours, but although the 1911 men cavorted ...n.Wr 1, Q, 4 1 J . SQ!

The absence of our inspiring leader, jesse Peterson, from the line up, is a good excuse, and is Worked for all it is Worth. 1 FRESHMAN FOOTBALL TEAM Sophomore year, with Trace'7 Hale at the helm, our doughty team gave a very good account of itself. TWO games with the Williamstown High School resulted in another no-score game and and 11-41 victory for the Sophomore band, this in spite of the fact that the mighty Pat Keefe Was in the High School back Heldg One of the saddest things of our college course was the exasper- ating Way in Which We failed to score on 1912 in the underclass game, While playing rings around the Freshmen throughout the contest.

The record of 1911 in interclass baseball is an enviable one, in fact the red and blue athletes have had greater success on the diamondthan the men of any other class that has O' been in College with 1911. 'Freshman year we were forced- to share first place with the sophomores, as the teams could not get together to play off the tie, but the two following years our team won the championship with ease. Doubtless the baseball season of Senior year will tell the same old story of 1911's superiority. In fact the only time we have not come out on top in baseball was the fall series with 19.10 our Freshman year. This 'fseriesn consisted of one game, and the Sophomores, with Templeton in the box, were victorious. They did not give us another chance at them until spring, and then our revenge was sweet. In October, 1908, a slaughter of innocents occurred when the pusillanimous pilltossers of 1912 had the presumption 'to oppose us on Weston field, We let them have one game as a consolation, but unmercifully walloped them in the other two. It was in these that one Oakley first appeared in the role of a slugger. No one who saw his manly form circling the bases on those two warm balmy afternoons in October will ever forget the ravishing sight. Our Lawrence was not the only hero, however, Pete, Doc Brown, Van Gorder, and Jigger Andrews, with that hypnotic smile,of his, to say nothing of the many other skillful wielders of the hickory, gave, some of the most marvelous exhibitions of inside ball that have ever been seen on Weston field.

In spite of that fact we have kept our light hidden under the proverbial bushel until some time after the in- ception of our college career. We allowed 1910 to walk away with the fall track meet by a score of----well, let's not mention it. Not until Gil Horrax issued a call for relay candidates did 1911 show her hand, and then one Jas Lester stepped forth from our ranks and secured a position on the fast 1908 relay team. About the same time our Class relay team defeated the Sophomores, setting a precedent that we have followed ever since, for 1911 has never lost a Class relay race. I In our Sophomore year we beatthe Freshmen by a good mar- gin in the annual fall underclass meet. Dick Campbell got away with both sprints, Lester took the half-mile event, and Starrett, Brown, Bohnet, Newton and Mason also won events. Newt was captain of this team and he certainly stepped some in that mile. As before stated, our relay team has won every race it has entered. TRACK NIIMERAL MEN I Campbell, captain Clj Lester .

Fresh- man year we failed to win 'a single, game in the interclass series, and then surprised everyone, including ourselves, by defeating Andover on their own Hoor. The writer had the good fortune to benone of the live that took Andover into camp, and will never forget that herculean struggle which marked an epoch in the history of the great indoor game. It was nip andtuck all the way, with the Williams youngsters ahead most of the time, until just before the whistle blew Dodd and Wetherell uncorked some startling shots and put the game on ice. When the score was announced-1911,.23 5 Andover, 15 5 a look of amazement and awe 166 V WILLIAMS COLLEGE 1911 CLASS BOOK appeared on the face of every member of our team. Kissam, our gallant playing manager, did himself proud by the luxurious way in which he treated the team on this trip. just to show that the Andover victory was not an accident, 1911 proceeded to clean up the other outside teams played, including the fast Troy Acad- emy five. A l The showing made by our team in the class series Sophomore year was an improvement over the year before, as we actually won a game. This was the last game of the series with 1910. Ray Dodd distinguished himself by throwing the winning basket in the extra period of play. Oakley, Hale, and Fighting Ed Radway all showed class on this team. , Junior year, led on by the valiant james Tracy Hale, our team nearly won the championship. Two defeats by 1910, both by the margin of one point, dished our pennant aspirations. Oakley, Radway and Hale were all picked for the interclass team by the record. Senior year we were not to be denied the championship for which we had striven so mightily during three seasons. Our triumphant march was interrupted only by a slight bump from 1913, when they took a sensational game from us by a narrow, margin. We came back and completely turned the tables in the second game with the Sophomores. Oakley and Wetherell won undying fameby their work in this series, and Piccadilly Bob Gilmore deserves great credit for his stellar performance at the critical times. Thus the basketball career of our Class, which had begun so inauspiciously, ended in a cloud of glory.

WILLIAMS COLLEGE 1911 CLASS BOOK 175 THE CURRICULUM EAs1EsT coURsE ' A Twentyfflve votes gave Philosophy 5 a decisivevigtofy in the Easiest Course Contest. Biology 1 is second, with sixteen votes, and Philosophy 9 is third with eight. Economics 1 and 2 each re- ceived seven votes. Philosophy 1, which received first place in last year's vote, secured but six. Philosophy 7 has five votes, Philosophy 3, Biology 4, and Physics 1, four each, Physics 2 and Geology 1, three, and Chemistry 1, Biology 2, English 12, and Meteorology, two apiece. Each of the following seemed easy to one man only: Astronomy 2, Mathematics 7, Hygiene, Phys- iology 2, Greek 6, French 3, Economics 4, Mathematics 2, Latin 1, Chemistry 6 and History 5. . - I , ' HARDEsT ooURsE I French 2, which received twenty votes last year, secures first place with thirty-six. Mathematics 1 is a poor second with eleven votes, and Mathematics 2 comes third with nine. English 3 has six votes, English 5 and Government 3 have five, and German 2, Mathematics 6, Philosophy 1 and French 4, three each. His- tory 1, French 1, English 12 and French 3B were each stumbling- blocks for two men, and one man remembers with sorrow each of the following: Government 5, Philosophy 6, German 1, Greek 1, German 3A, German 4A, German 4B, Philosophy 4, Latin 1 and English 14. . I MOST VALUABLE COURSE English 3, which dropped to second place in last year's vote, secures first honors this year with fourteen votes. English 5 is second with twelve votes, Economics 4 has eleven, Economics 1, nine, Oratory 1, six, English 2, five, Biology 1, four. Philosophy 1, History 6 and Chemistry 5 have three votes apiece. Phi- losophy 3 and 9, Mathematics 3 and Oratory 2 have each two admirers, and each of the following seems most valuable to one man: Government 1 and 2, Hygiene, Physics 1, Greek 3 and 4, English 1, Art 3 and Biology 3. H 1 FAvoR1TE coURsE I Eleven votes were sufficient to secure first place for English English 2 is a close second with ten votes, and Economics 4 1S 176 WILLIAMS COLLEGE 1911 CLASS BOOK next with nine. Economics 1 and Chemistry 5 are tied with six votes each, and English 15 and Mathematics 2 share the next ,hon- ors with four each, History 4, Philosophy 3 and 9, Chemistry 2 and Government 2 are each looked upon with favor by three men, and two votes were cast for each of the following: History 6, English 12, English 14, Biology 1 and Biology 3. Thirty-one courses each received the approval of one man. A BEST CONDUCTED DEPARTMENT . The department of Chemistry continues to hold first place, hav- ing received forty-one votes, a gain of live since last year. The English department is runner-up, with-ftwenty-eight votes, -and the department of Mathematics takes third honors with eleven votes. The departments of Latin, Astronomy and History are tied with four votes each, the departments of Government and Physics each have three, and the departments of Art and Eco- nomics received two each. One vote was cast for the Geology de- partment. WORST CONDUCTED DEPARTMENT ' The French department again takes irst place, this year with the overwhelming number of fifty-six votes. The Class seems to be no exception to the rule that men are ever ungrateful, for the department of Philosophy is second, with seventeen demerits. The German department, which was second in last year's vote, is third with seven. The department of Economics has five votes, and four men are unable to see any redeeming features in the Eng- lish department. Each of the following departments has incurred the disfavor of one man: Art, Government, Mathematics, Phys- iology, Astronomy, Geology and Physics.

Counting those votes as favorable, we have 53 in favor of its continuance and 50 against it. One man called it the Williams custom least worth preserv- ing. Required Sunday chapel had a less favorable vote, for only 26 are in favor of it, while 75' expressed themselves as desirous of seeing it abolished, in terms more or less strong. The opinions expressed as regards required chapel contained various sug- gestionsthat were too similar to print. A canvass of the Class would probably show a majority in favor of required daily chapel as a non-religious exercise and no compulsory attendance on Sunday5 that is, if we take the above as authoritative. ' I FACULTY AND STUDENT f The members of the Class, on an average, have 'visited six pro- fessors in their homes. The greatest number recorded by any man, if we exclude Eldredge who has visited them all Con busi- nessj, is twenty-six. Two men have paidlthat number of calls. The smallest number recorded is, as' usual, none. This distinc- tion is held by flve men, one of whom added the gratuitous infor- mation that he had visited as many as it was necessary to in order to enjoy his College course5 i.e., none! ,A WILLIAMS CUSTOM MOST WORTH PRESERVING In the eyes of 1911, the Cane Contest is the Williams Custom Most Worth Preserving, for it received 29 votes.

We have 67 smokers, only 19 of whom had not yielded to the seductive weed before entrance... A few remarks may be of interest. In answer to the question, Did you smoke before entering?

WinterD5 Why, indeed? CWoolseyj. The pipe is King for 1911, for 43 men consider it their favorite form of smoking. Cigarettes have seventeen votes, while only six men are rich enough to smoke cigars. One man, however, swears by three-for-a-dollar Panatellas! Still another smokes cuibebs, while a third declares that he derives all the benefits of smoking by watching others at the College smokers. The taste in tobacco is less varied than in previous years. Forty- three, men prefer Imperial Cube Cut to any other brand. Lucky Strike and Corner Cut CWall Street's delightb each soothe the palates of four men, while Bull' has the same effect on three. In the same class with Bull Durham is Craven's Mixture. A few individuals like the following: Other People's, Easy P1Cli11j17, The Fastest Burning, Latakia, Cornsilk, Birdseye Virginia, Handsome Dan, Piperheidsick, Cake Box and Old Gold. 182 WILLIAMS COLLEGE 1911 CLASS BOOK A . WILLIAMS AND THE MAN OF SMALL MEANS Fifty-nine men of the Class consider Williams a rich man's college and 38 declare that it is not. The two preceding classes voted as follows: 1910, afhrmative, 56555 negative, 335 1909, affirmative, 365 negative, 29. The following answers seem worthy of. notice: Yes, because the average man spends all the money he wants and has it to spend Uonesj 5, No fellow can stay rich long in this town5 try it and see CKempj5 In the sense that there are many rich men here, yes5 in the sense that money de- termines a man's standing, no CLamprechtj 5 There is no attraction here for men who want to show off their money QOakleyj5 There are no special chances for the poor,man5 besides, he has no oppor- tunity to earn anything U. V. ParkerD5 Yes, a walk up Main Street at Prom or House-party time shows that. But a poor man should not 'hesitate to come here for he is given a very good chance CPrestonj5 Yes, there is so much graft CPricej5' No. Have you ever tried to collect money? CWindomD. ,I 'Sixty-three men would not advise a man to try to work his way through Williams, four thought that it depended on the man, while twenty-eight thought that a man could work his way through without a great deal of hardship or trouble. Three men of the Class have entirely worked their way through College and three more have almost totally done so. Eleven men have partially worked their way through. Most of these men held scholarships and, with their aid, by such other work as waiting on the table, stenography, and so forth, were able to make both ends meet. 5 5 FINANCIAL STATISTICS , . From the 'answers of 94 men, the following statistics relative to the expenses of the four years of college have been compiled. The average expenditures of Freshman year are 8850.745 of Soph- omore year, 8832.985 of- Junior year, 8864.445 of Senior year, 887734. The average yearly expense is thus 885638. The greatest expenditures recorded for each of the four years are: Freshman year, 83,0005 Sophomore year, 82,400 5Junior year, 82,000 5 Senior year, two men have spent 82,000. The least expenses for each of these years: Freshman year, 82505 Sophomore year, 82605 Junior year, 8260 5 Senior year, 8260.

Two men have lost all the faith that they have everfhad, and to counterbalance these, two men confess conversion to Christianity since their arrival here four years ago. The number of men who follow each sect is as follows: Protestant Episcopal, 285' Congregational, 19 5 Presby- WILLIAMS COLLEGE 1911 CLASS BOOK 185 terian, 16, Unitarian, 6, Methodist, 53 Baptist, 53 Catholic, 23 Hebrew, Reformed Hebrew, Dutch Reform, Christian Science and Lutheran, each one. Seven men confess that they have never had a religious belief, and two intimate that they never will have one. The following are some of the peculiar sects followed: Roman-I-Iebrew-Atheism, Bohoism, Optimism, Agnosticism, Monotheism, Universalism, and Pop Russellism. One man is non-sectarian, three say that they are Christians, and one does not believe in Prohibition. y PoL1T1oAL ooNv1oT1oNs 1 , One man said that he had never been convicted. Therecent political upheaval is plainly evidenced by the increase in the Independent party, and the Insurgent Republicans appear for the first time in a Williams class book. The G. O. P. is still in the lead with 33 men. Next come the Independents, 26 strong, showing a sixfold increase over the members of that party in last year's Senior class. The Democrats also have a larger number of adherents, increasing from 7 to 15 in number. Professor., Droppers has a following of 6 men, which places his party ahead of the Insurgent Republicans, who number but four. Roosevelt trails his New Nationalism along next with 3 followers. Two men are as yet undecided, twoamen have no political views, and one man declares that he is a Protestant Episcopal Cthus mixing the Church and'Statej, while there is one mugwump and one anarchist in 1911. 186 WILLIAMS COLLEGE1911 CLASS BOOK CLASS FAVORITES z FAVORITE ACTOR ' ROFESSOR Garrett'Droppers, Ph.D., plays the leading role A among those who have fascinated 1911 with their acting. He received thirty-two votes for this honor. It may be of interest to record that this is the heaviest vote ever polled for a class favorite. Forbes Robertson also ran with twelve votes. Several others straggle along with three votes, after Jack Barrymore and Cobb, '11, who tied with four. They are: John Drew, William Hodge and E. H. Sothern. The following received two votes each: Heywood, '11, Kyrle Bellew, Willie Collier, Richard Mansfield, William Gillette and Robert Mantell. The common herd, with one vote each, follows: Roosevelt, David W arfleld, Van Cworder, '11, R. K. johnson, '11, Joe Jefferson, Donald Brian, Raymond Hitchcock, Willard, Loran Lewis, '13, Frank Daniels, Evie Hazel- ton, '10, Otis Skinner, Jack johnson Ccoloredl, William Sampson, Heywood-Robinson team, James K. Hackett, Robert Edson, Warner Oland, Henry Irving, Douglas Fairbanks, Albert Cheva- liere and Tom Lewis. A reward, of tenichapel cuts is offered to the man, who guesses what member of the Class voted for Keller, the Marvellous Magician. A x A FAVORITE ACTRESS How Maude Adams knew that we knew what Every Woman Knows we do not know, but she must have known, for she is Nine- teen Eleven's favorite actress with thirty votes. julia Sanderson has thirteen votes, which places her second, while the less favored sisters, Billie' Burke, julia Marlowe and Bill Dolph, '11, follow with five each. Ethel Barrymore, Sarah Bernhardt, Mabel Taliaferro, Christie 'MacDonald, Elsie Janis, Lauretta Taylor and Marie Doro received two votes from ardent admirers. The following have enchanted various members of the Class into casting ballots for them as their favorites: Eva T anguay, Lizzie Milham, Maxine Elliot, Louise Dressler, Elsie Ferguson, Violet Hemming, Isabelle D'Arnaud, Petite Tempest, 'Bessie McCoy, Mrs. Fiske, Helen Hale, T rentini, Jane Cowl, Lydia Pinkham, Margaret Anglin, Jessie Webster, and Ellen Terry. One man states rather 4 WILLIAMS COLLEGE 1911 CLASS BOOK 187 heatedly that he don,t keep themn, while another says, Sir, I am a gentlemanw. ' . t FAVORITE CHARACTERS IN HISTORY Abraham Lincoln is again the favorite character in history, and this year he received thirty-one votes, an increase of sixteen over last year., Napoleon is ten votes behind the martyred presi- dent, and then there is a drop to joan of Arc, Roosevelt, George Washington, the Beaver, Ephraim 'Williams, Julius Caesar, Jarvis, ex-'12, and Sophocles, who are tied with two votes apiece. There follows a motley crew with. one vote each: Noah, Sir Walter Raleigh, John Bascom, Richard the Third, William the Con- queror, Frederick the Great, Jesus Christ, Socrates, Collier, Sol7' Pratt, Robert E. Lee, Nathan Hale, Hannibal, The Man who made Hoosick Falls , Ananias,,Byron, Dr. Cook, Richard I, Sir William Wallace, Sir Francis Drake, Louis XIV, Cardinal Riche- lieu, Peter the Great Cnot referring to Peterson, 'l1j, Steve Brodie, Attila the Hun, Queen Elizabeth, and Bertha the Sewing Machine Girl. . - ' FAVORITE CHARACTER OF FICTION In the realm of literature the Class has wandered wide. jean Valjean is held highest by five votes, an increase of one over last year.

The following have two: Lem Peaselee, Henry Esmond, Colonel Newcome, Silas Marner, ,Tom Sawyer, Huck Finn, Dutchie Wahl, Robin Hood, The Virginian QOwen Wisterl, John Ridd, and Richard Carvel. A little fiction on the part of the voters is evident in the characters that polled but one vote, yet they are on the whole serious. They are: Eve, The Heroine, Stephen Brice, Charley Steele, Dennys, Black Prince, II4, Amyas Leigh, Nicholas Nickleby, Francois Villon, Cyranode Bergerac, The Dormouse, Mr. Pickwick, Richard III, Rip Van Winkle, Cynthia, J.

' FAVORITE POET' I For the third successive year Tennyson is Poet Laureateof the Senior Class. He ,received twenty-two votes, an increase over both 1909's and 1910's votes. Kipling, however, is close second with twenty votes. Burns, the universal Laureate of Love, received seven and is thus ranked third by the Class. Longfellow has dropped in estimation. when compared with last year, as he only received six votes. Forbes, '11, is close behind him with five. Browning, Byron and 'Shakespeare are tied for sixth place with four votes each. Wordsworth, Bryant and Poeeach received two votes, while the following are poetical only to the extent of one vote in the eyes of 1911's critics: Whittier, Scott, H. R. Corner, '12, Keats, Lamprecht, '11, Shelly, Chas. Barrett, jack Loomis, '11, Pat Windom, '11, Omar Khayam, Emerson, Gabriel, '13, Matthew Arnold, Robert Herrick, Henry Van Dyke, Holmes-, Milton, Confucius and Feathers., 1 p A r FAVORITE PROSE WRITERS is Kipling, whom 1911 voted second as its favorite poet, received twenty-three votes for favorite prose writer, and thus is easily first. Sir Walter Scott ranks second with a vote numbering twelve, while Stevenson is third with nine. Thackeray is fourth with seven votes, and is closely followed by Dickens with five and Poe with four. Hugo, Mark Twain, Robert W?f'Chambers and Church- ill each hold three members of the Class in thrall.

Phillips Oppenheim, Anthony Hope, Hardy, Father Cpay to the order of-D, and Her. 4 ' FAVORITE NOVEL It is peculiar to note that many men approve of a writer as their favorite and then vote for the work of another for their WILLIAMS COLLEGE 1911 CLASS BOOK 189 favorite novel. This accounts for the scattered vote given below, Lighter flction figures prominently, but that college men still read and value the Older or better class of notion is evident. Ivan- hoe, Lorna Doone and the Tale of Two Cities are tied for first place with six votes each. Vanity Fair with flve is a good second. The Three Musketeers, The Crisis, and Richard Carvel have four votes, while the Prisoner of Zenda, The Cloister and the Hearth, and David Copperfield follow closely with three votes each. Two votes were cast for each of the following: Les Miser- ables, The Little Shepherd of Kingdom Come, The Trail of the Lonesome Pine, Our ,Mutual Friend, Peter, and the-Light That Failed. Then the tastes of individual and more original men are as follows: The Beloved Vagabond, Life's Shop Window, The Rosary, Kenilworth, Tom Sawyer, Huck Finn, Anna Karenina, Sentimental Tommie, The Leopard's Spots, The Shepherd of the Hills, Ben Hur, Coniston, The Virginian, Silas Marner, Pendennis, The Duke's Secret, Bob, Son of Battle, Molly Makebelieve, The Wild Clive, The Greatest Wish in the World, The Count of Monte Cristo, The Newcomes, The Rise of Silas Lapham, joseph Andrews, Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, St. Ives, Treasure Island, The Scarlet Letter, At the Appointed Time, Told in the Hills, Pickwick Papers, Captains Courageous, The Wings of the Morn- ing, The Vicar of Wakefield, and the Barrier, Several jokers have slipped in as they often do, even at Washington. One vote was cast for each of the following: A Postal Card from Morton, Bertha the Sewing Machine Girl or a Stitch in Time Saves Nine, :Did She Fall or Was She Pushed? and I Want Marie. FAVORITE POEM The Ancient Mariner, with seven votes, is closely pushed for first place by the Idylls of the King, Evangeline and Crossing the Bar, with six votes each. Enoch Arden, On the Road to Mandalay, the Vampire, and the Rubaiyat each called forth three votes, while Dover Beach, The Ladies, Endymion, Gentleman Rankers, Kubla Khan, Gunga Din, and Cotter's Saturday Night were deemed the best in all literature by at least two men. The crit- ics of the Class hold forth as follows, one man declaring for each of the poems listed below: The Bridge of Sighs, The Princess, Biblical poetry, Gray's Elegy, The Lady of the Lake, Il Penseroso, 190 WILLIAMS COLLEGE 1911 CLASS BOOK The Hanging of the Crane, In a Gondola, Annabel Lee, Homer's Odyssey, Eve of St. Agnes, L'Envoi, I Have Taken My Fun Where I Found It, Rape of the Lock, A Code of Morals, The Charge of the Light Brigade, Ode to a Grecian Urn, Fra Lippo Lippi, Pros- pice, Hiawatha, Lycidas, -My Bonnie Lassie, Ivry, T hanatopsis, McAndrew's Hymn, The ' God of the Open Air, Old Ironsides, The Marshes of Glynn, The Children's Hour, Love CC.

S y FAVORITE PLAY What Every Woman Knows is the play above all plays for the Class of 1911, for it received eleven votes, which ranks it first. The Man From Home is second with seven votes and the Blue Bird flutters along in third place with live. Hamlet and Twelfth Night each figure with four votes. A diversified taste is evidenced as follows: 'Seven-Twenty-Eight Cthreej, The Arcadians, The Music Master, Faust, Dr. Faustus, The Easiest Way, The Passing of the Third Floor Back, Cyrano de Bergerac, The Merry Widow, The Merchant of Venice Ctwo apiecej, Ben Hur, Madame X, Macbeth, The Old Town, Why Girls Leave Home, The Doll's House, The Winter's Tale, The Importance of Being Ernest, Uncle Tom's Cabin, Beau Brummel, Much Ado about Nothing, The Fortune Hunter, The Midsummer Night's Dream, The Old Homestead, The Two Puddlefeet, East Lynn, Romeo and Juliet, Baby-in-the-Hole, King Lear, The Princess, The Taming of The Shrew, Alma, 'Where do You Live?

The New York Times justifies its reputation for steadiness by receiving twenty- four votes from 1911, the same numberthat 1910 cast for it. The rest of the vote follows: New York Sun CSD, New York Tribune CBD, Minneapolis Evening Journal Bean- ville Bugle, and Boston Transcript CZD. The following also rang New York Mail, Boston Post, Philadelphia Press, Portland Oregonian, Boston American, Auburn Citizen, Chicago Record- Herald, Ellensburg Morning Milk, New York Evening Globe, Williams Record, Baptiste Bottom Bugle, Berkshire Eagle, Lockport Union-Sun, Duluth News Tribune, New York Herald Sea Cliff Scream, Brooklyn Eagle, Pittsburg Gazette-Times and Washington Post. I Cl9D, Chicago Tribune 1 FAVORITE COLLEGE PUBLICATION As usual, The Record, with fifty votes, is first, but the Purple Cow has advanced in favor since last year, when she received a meagre seven votes, to twenty-one votes this year.. The Gul and Pepper each received five votes, leading us to infer that five men were responsible for the latter as there were five men on the GulBoard. The College Catalog delights two men, while the Class Book received a solitary vote, not from the editor, however. The Purple Bull, The Bi-Weekly Pain, You are requested to call at this office, etc., The Purple Calf, Milham's Weather Reports, and Eddie Dempsey's Monthly Accounts each received one vote, while one man declares his favorite is not published yet. I FAVORITE MAGAZINE I The vote for the favorite magazine stands as follows: Outlook and Life, 14, Cosmopolitan, 95 Everybody's, 75 The Saturday Evening Post, 55 Popular, Scribner's, Literary Eigest, Century, and World's Work, 4, Red Book, McClure's, Lit, Hampton's, Philistine, Police Gazette, Town and Country, and Atlantic Monthly, 2 3 Woman's Home Companion, N orth1'American Review, Scientific American, judge, Anybody's, Illustrated London News, Nick Carter's Weekly, Country Life in America, Strand, Review of Reviews, Vanity Fair, Harperls, Outing, Motor, and Sketch. .

I ' FAVORITE DRINK A skilled and experienced man in a white vest, behind a shin- ing row of glasses, would be staggered by the drinks' called for by the Class, especially as water, with twenty-one votes, comes first. Beer, the poor man's drink, comes in second with eleven votes, and then come the mixtures. Shades of all inebriates, what drinks are here! Champagne, 4, grape-juice and chocolate milk 35 milk, Sparkling Burgundy, Scotch high ball, Sandsprings, H2O, and short coffee malted milk with egg, 2, At least one in the Class is content to be served with the following: absinthe, rye high ball, aqua frappe, ginger ale high ball, ink, orangeade, a tub of suds, .Texas size, horse's neck, Adami's ale, whatever you -take, the same, orangeade with lime juice, one on Briggsie, it all depends on who's setting them up, Swedish punch, lone tree cocktail, Green River, evaporated milk, beer and codliver oil, malted milk, don't, claret lemonade, castor oil, Munschner, depends on the occasion, icambric tea, weak tea, whiskey, fudgenut Ca drink?D, bliss, ta glass of water with a violet in it, and gasoline with just a dash of H2S. u 1 FAVORITE COLLEGE 1911 reverted to the Williams stand-by and voted Princeton its favorite college with a total of thirty votes. Yale stands next with twenty-one, while Harvard comes along as usual with six- teen. Then Dartmouth with ten and Amherst and Cornell with five are the file closers.
