Founded in 1701, Yale marks its 250th birthday this year. The Yale Banner, in presenting a history of the University, has attempted to produce neither an exha ustive nor a pedantic work— the history of Yale woidd fill many volumes. Rather, the Banner has tried to catch the colorful essence of the past as it compares with the vital record of Yale today. The editors of Yale Banner Publications sincerely hope that they have realized their goal. THE 1951 YALE BANNER WITH VOL. CX • PRODUCED DURING 1951 II SUMMARY OF 250 YEARS OF YALE PAUL DRUMMOND RUST III Chairman JOHN CHALONER BORDEN JR. Business Manager JOHN L. GEISMAR Managing Editor [N NEW HAVEN • CONNECTICUT PRESIDENTS OF YESTERDAY Abraham Pierson (1701-1707) was first Rector of Ye Collegiate School of Con- necticut. Eighteen students graduated during his term in office. Timothy Cutler (1719-1722), third president of Yale, was forced to resign after so short a tenure of office because he became an Episcopalian. Elisha Williams (1726-1739) is the youngest man ever to have been chosen Yale ' s president. He was 31 at the time he took office. Naphtali Daggett (1766-1777) had definite ideas about governing the Col- lege, but was not always happy in the mode of administering . . . discipline. Ezra Stiles (1778-1795), Yale ' s seventh president, held office during the Revolu- tionary War, when Nathan Hale died for his country. Timothy Dwight (1795-1817) was de- scribed by a jealous contemporary as both the religious and political Pope of Connecticut . . . Jeremiah Day (1817-1846) directed Yale during the twenty-nine years of steady growth and development when the Divinity and Law Schools arose. Theodore Dwight Woolsey (1846- 1871), tenth president of Yale, saw the beginnings of the modem Yale campus with the erection of Farnara Hall. Noah Porter (1871-1886) witnessed the completion of Yale ' s first modern laboratory, continued growth of the library, an expanded athletic program. Timothy Dwight (1886-1899) was a grandson of the first President Dwight. He made the historic decision to tear down the Old Fence. Arthur Twining Hadley (1899-1921) cemented alumni relationships. He was respected for his progressive views con- cerning student and faculty freedom. James Rowland Angell (1921-1937) was the first non-graduate of Yale since the middle of the eighteenth century to become its president. Charles Seymour (1937-1950), Yale ' s fifteenth president, retired after guiding the University through the storm of World War II. Of Samuel Andrew (1707-1719), Yale ' s second president, and Thomas Clap (1740-1766), fifth president of Yale, there are no pictures or reproductions of any son remaining. Samuel Andrew was one of the principal founders of the University, and served for a short time as acting president of Hai-vard. The Church of Christ in Yale was organized while Thomas Clap was in office. DEDICATION President Griswold, on the faculty since 19J1, lectures to one of his last classes before his appointment is an- nounced at a press conference called by ex-President Charles Seymour (left). Timothy Dwight College cheered. Amidst a troubled and uncertain national scene, the editors of the 1951 Yale Banner, with every good wish for the future, respectfully dedicate this anniversary edition ALFRED WHITNEY GRISWOLD in his first year as Yale ' s 16th president. May he, Yale, and the country prosper in the years ahead. The President ' s children, Suxy, 11, Mary, 15, A. fVhit jr. 7, and Sally, 18, ivere jubilant, while President and Mrs Griswold received hearty congratulations.

This primitive sketch of the entire camfnts aplHared in 1786 YALE 1701-1951 Ten Ministers and Forty Books T WAS late in 1701 when ten of the principal ministers of Connecticut, from as many different towns, met for the purpose of sponsoring a new college. As a group they presented a number of books, popularly accepted as being forty, and under these humble conditions was a university born. I give these books for the founding of a college in this colony, each minister said, in effect, as he laid his books on the table. On October 9, 1701, an act for liberty to erect a collegiate school was ratified by the Colonial Assembly, who voted sixty poinids sterling in support of the collegiate school. Yale ' s First President NE MONTH LATER, the appointment of Reverend Abraham Pierson of Killingworth (now Clinton) as first rec- tor was announced. He had graduated from Harvard in 1688. After considerable controversy about the most suitable location for the col- lege, it was decided that Saybrook should be the site. But the Reverend Mr. Pierson ' s congregation temporarily resolved the dispute by insisting that he remain in Killingworth. The college, consisting only of his private home, was situated there until the death of Rector Pierson in 1707. Yale ' s First Student (j URiNG THOSE five ycars at Killing- worth, only thirteen students made use of their limited opportunities for educating themselves, and the future of the college was still quite questionable. Jacob Heminway, of East Haven, was the first student, studying alone with the rector until late in 1702, when seven more students joined him. The first commencement, however, was held in that same year, at Saybrook, when four men who had graduated from Harvard and a fifth who had been privately tutored received degrees of either Mas- ter or Bachelor of Arts. Residence of the ReiK Samuel Russell, in Branford, Conn., where Yale was founded The Move to New Haven (jT ' HY. Reverend Samuel Andrew be- came rector pro tempore after Rec- tor Pierson ' s death, and, in the years immediately following, the college ' s location and future were more indefi- nite than ever. The Rev. Andrew had been one of the principal foimders of Yale six years before. Finally, late in 1716, the trustees were induced by a large subscription from the citizens of New Haven to move to that location, and construction of the first college building was soon completed. It vas an architectural monstrosity of three stories, with dimensions of 170 feet in length and only 22 feet in depth. The building stood on College Street, about where Bingham Hall now stands.

Elihu Yale was born in Boston in 1648, but received his education and spent most of his life away from Amer- ica. As a governor in the East India Company he amased quite a sizable for- time, which he supplemented by marry- ing a wealthy widoAV. Prodded by Cotton Mather, colonial theologian and man of letters, and Jere- miah Dummer, a colonial agent, and other friends of the college, Elihu Yale made the college a gift of nine bales of goods, sold at auction in Boston for £562 12s. The gift, far surpassing any other received up to that date, greatly helped cement the position of the col- legiate school. blonial Antagonii iM ' osiTioN to the New Haven site was still quite vigorous, and removal of the library from Saybrook to the former city was forcibly opposed. Bridges were torn down and roads were blocked, but the books finally reached their destination, though almost one-quarter of the twelve himdred vol- imies and papers were lost in transit. Many of these have been recovered in subseqtient years. The Old Brick Row G??ONNECTicuT HALL, first building in the Old Brick Row, was completed in 1752. It still stands today, on the Old Campus, though it was called South Middle College for a large part of the time. Until the middle of the nineteenth century, the Old Brick Row, with [its] cin-ious aggregation of laboratory, mu- seum, and art gallery drawn up in its rear, represented the entire muster of . . . college buildings. The Administration N AGREEMENT in 1792, from which the college derived upwards of $40,000, resulted in the addition of the governor, the lieutenant-governor, and six senior state senators as Fellows or members of the Corporation of Yale. The Board of Trustees had formerly consisted of the successors of the original ten Congiegational ministers. In the early 1870s, the six senators were re- The Old Brick Row after 1870, with Connecticut Hall in the foreground !«li ■ : s«!3Sf«8H « S ' The second Sheffield Scientific School building, before ivings were added placed by six Alumni Fellows, all lay- men, elected by the alimini. The election of Arthur Twining Had- ley to the presidency in 1899 marked the first time that a layman had held that office, and James Rowland Angell, in 1921, became the first non-graduate of Vale in over 150 years to hold the office of president. Yale ' s first five presidents, or rectors, had been Har ' ard giaduates. Growth of the College ? ( 57 ' HROUGHOUT the nineteenth centtny, Yale began adding types of instruc- tion which led to degrees other than that of Bachelor of Arts. The School of Medicine was established in 1810, and instruction therein began in 1813. The Divinity School, the Law School, giad- uate courses in philosophy and the arts, the Yale Scientific School, and Schools of Fine Arts, Music, and Forestry were all established by 1900, but it was not initil 1887 that an act of the General .Assembly atuhorized the naine, Yale Uiiiversity. which had been in popular use throughout the century. The Insti- tute of Human Relations and other gradtiate schools have since been added. The Sheffield Scientific School ( 37 HE Yale Scientific School fotmd it- self practically penniless from the start. Into the financial breach stepped Joseph E. Sheffield, with gifts of over $175,000 in addition to plans for a permanent fiuid, in return for Avhich the Corporation voted to apply his name to the school. In 1861, the Sheffield Scien- tific School came into being. Sheff, as it was called, existed apart from Yale College until 1945, when it returned to its original function of teaching on the giaduate level, Avhile the scientific departments were attached to Yale College. Steps toward this goal had first been made in 1919, when a freshman year common to both the Scientific School and Yale College was instituted. Meanwhile, th e School of Engineering, made independent in 1932, continues as a separate entity. Yale College and SheflF ( T ' oR MANY YEARS, Students in the Sheffield School of Science frater- nized but little with those in Yale Col- lege. At first, Sheff had no dormitories of its own, so that all its undergraduates lived away from the campus. There had been only two himdred students in the Scientific School in 1878, while there were three times that many in Yale College. By 1913 there were 1100 students in Sheff, and only two hundred more than that in Yale College. With the advent of Sheff societies and fraternities, and under the influence of the greatly increased numbers in the Scientific School, both Yale College and Sheff eventually became far more sym- pathetically inclined towards one an- other. Sitting on the Fen( (J iTTiNG on the fence was a tradi- tional practice imtil the Old Fence was finally taken doAvn at the end of the last century. All classes but the fresh- man gathered at the Fence, which was situated at the corner of Chapel and College Streets, to talk, smoke, and while College room in a private house about 1890 away the early evening. Each class had a particular part of the Fence they knew as their own. Occasional efforts by the Administra- tion to substitute plank benches placed around the campus were unsuccessful, for the Fence never lost its magic mag- netism until its final demolition in the face of progress. Early Dress (X 1824, uniform dress Avas decreed by the college. Part of the order read: The coat to be a plain frock-coat, with a standing cape, the classes . . . distinguished by [varying numbers of] marks of braid on the cape of the coat ... Subdued color schemes were prescribed as well, but the laws soon proved impracticable and unworkable.

Other and tried to break through the other ' s lines. A decision determining the winner was usually controversial, if not impossible, at the battle ' s end. The object of the banger rush was for the sophomores to wrest a number of bangers— a type of cane— from the hands of the freshmen, who had been prohibited by tradi- tional sophomore edict from carrying bangers and from wearing stove-pipe hats until a certain time of year. These rushes took place sporadically after the first display of rage by the freshmen had been manifested. Freshman Rules ANY RULES existed which classified the freshman as inferior to his upperclass counterpart. It was 1804 be- fore freshmen were exempted from running errands for up- perclassmen, and in return for these sorts of indignities, the first-year men retaliated by painting their numerals on Avalks, fences, and the like. The hazing of freshmen by the sopho- more class, most of which took place during the first half of the first term, was carried on for many years. As late as 1920, freshmen were ordered not to roller skate or spin tops on the Campus; these privileges are reserved for Seniors. meeting met to celebrate Euclid ' s aca- deinic death and gloat over his corse. ' Preliminaries to the actual burial vere ' aried: red-hot iron pokers vere thrust throtigh the book ' s covers; the class trod upon the voltuiie to prove that Euclid had been gone over; they walked under the book to prove that he has been understood. The class would then march in solemn procession, with funeral torches. Sitting on the fence in front of South College in the J870 ' s e Burial of Euclid MO.NG vale ' s most colorful tradi- tions of old, The Burial of Eu- clid, dating back to the start of the nineteenth century, ranks high. The study of mathematics proved to be the Waterloo of many a sophomore, and at the undergraduate year ' s end a mass to the burial grotmd. Such items as Dirge by Asoph O More and Incan- tation by Hon. Sir Cumference can be foimd in the typical Class of 1857 pro- gram. Finally, about 1860, the custom died, ' the victim apparently of a reform movement aimed at its extravagances. Its loss was mourned. Hannibal Town and Gown i T ' AR MORE EXTRAVAGANT, and partic- ularly more regrettable, than any other chapter in Yale ' s history were the notorious Town and Gown mistuider- standings. The earliest official record of such trouble goes back to 1782, when a resi- dent of New Haven, a former graduate of the College, was subjected to indigni- ties under a pump by half a dozen un- dergraduates. The first real riot -tvas experienced in 1841, when a group of students playing football found themselves incapable of resisting the iwge of standing on a fire hose which lay across the held. The town ' s firemen, annoyed at the lack, of water, attempted to remove the students from their positions. Police c[uickly quelled the unrest, but that evening some of Yale ' s more adventurous stu- dents invaded the firehousc, cut the hose to bits, and created mild havoc. A Candy Sam settlement by the University prevented more repercussions from follo ' ing. In 1854, the most serious riot took place. A disturbance at the local theatre mushroomed into a mob scene, and when one Pat O ' Neill, a longshoreman, laid hold of a senior, John Sims, the lat- ter vas forced to draw a bowie knife and stab the tmlucky O ' Neill throtigh the heart. Yale ' s forces then ■iv ' ithdrew to re- main on the defensive, and thotigh one of the city ' s cannons was trained on the camptis, it failed to fire. Sims was subse- quently accjuitted by a jury. The last major riots on record are those which took place in 1919. It A as alleged that Yale men jeered soldiers re- turning to New Haven after World War I, and subsec]uent soap-box orations stirred the citizenry into a revengeful mood. After several days ' hostility, the disturbances subsided, and Town and Gown relationships have been as amica- ble as could be expected ever since. A Bit of G Gi AMPUS characters of all sorts have made Yale their base of opera- tions for many generations. Most colorful of all Yale ' s characters was the late nineteenth century ' s George Joseph Hannibal, L. W. Silliman, Es- quire, whose object in life was to deliver his stock of molasses candy into the inouths of Yale men, while delivering his own brand of native humor. His age: I ' m getting so old that I can re- member when East Rock, sah, was a mere pebble. Not wishing, even under the most superlative temptation, to interrupt the gentlemen in their studies, I beg to ask whether they are not moved to purchase a package of my old-fashioned, home- made molasses candy, Hannibal, as he was more simply called, would begin. Very often he would sell his candy, too, and then occasionally make a little extra something by betting an inexperienced freshman that the latter could not name the middle letter of the alphabet, or by arranging some other similar, safe wager. Candy Sam, another character of the later 1800 ' s, was a totally blind colored man who, in the days of paper currency, could feel the difference be- tween a fifty- and a five-cent note. He never forgave the Yale Conrant . . . for admitting to its columns a playful skit alleging his arrest for peeping into dormitory Avindows at night. There were others, but these are the men Avho were remembered longest. Academic Yale (J7 ' HE FIRST SCHOLARSHIP at Yale was founded in 1733 by Rev. George Berkeley, later Bishop of Cloyne. It was almost a century before another scholar- ship arrived on the scene, but after that time they were established in great num- bers. Applicants for admission to the fresh- man class were once far better grounded in the classics than they are today. The would-be freshman, less than fifty years ago, was expected to be examined on such subjects or books as the first three books of Xenophon ' s Anabasis, seven orations of Cicero, and the first twelve chapters (to the Passive Voice) of Arnold ' s Latin Prose Composition. On the graduate level, Yale was the first American university to confer the degree of Doctor of Philosophy.

The present Commons is in the background Military Training (j7 URiNG WORLD WAR I, Yale partially became a training camp for the armed services. Again, during World War II, Yale contributed its facilities and personnel to the war effort, so that over 20,000 men were trained. Military training in the Reserve Offi- cers Training Corps was first made pos- sible to Yale undergraduates in the 1860 ' s when Sheff received a land grant from the state of Connecticut, in return for which a professor of military science was permitted to join the Yale faculty. The ROTC program still exists at Yak- today, and its Naval counterpart is now also an active organization. University Expansion (j7 EVELOPMENT of the University ' s ex- ternal featiues has been pheno- menal throughout the past half-century, and only sizable gifts from generous philanthropists in addition to the faith- ful donations of coimtless aliniini have allowed many expansive changes. Frederick W. Vanderbilt, 1876, Ed- ward Harkness, 1897, and John Ster- ling, 1864, are the names of only a few of the men Avho have provided vast sums of money in order to perpetuate and improve this center of learning. The Coat of Arms (jT ' nY. ARMS of Yale University come from the design at the center of the seal which has been used since the early days of the college. The characters on the book form the words Urim and Thiunmin, names of an ancient de- vice used to ascertain the divine will. Written across an open book they sug- gest that the book contains divine oracles or revelations. In the Latin Old Testament they are translated doctrina et Veritas. For the Yale seal-legend the deviser of the seal retained the Veritas (truth), but substituted lux (light) for doctrina (learning). The seal is the property of the Presi- dent and Fellows of the University. It is used by them to authenticate signa- tures on documents and for other offi- cial purposes of the university as the Corporation ' s symbol of authority. The distinctive Yale decoration used by mem- bers and graduates of the university is not the seal but the coat of arms. , ' n Memory of Iril ,M£Nof YalE who. true l.o Her fradilions vo Their i.ivf5 ihai Freedom miOhl nol perish fr(im ihe Earth ■iomanno DoMiNrigis- Alumni War Memorial Alumni Organizations N ALUMNI BOARD was formed in 1904, its original adherents claim- ing that annual elections would provide a group representative of the alumni ' s true feelings. The Alumni Association, a separate organization, was first formed in 1827, though the first alumni reimion was probably that of the Class of 1821, held in 1824. The Cincinnati Yale Club, founded in 1864, is the oldest alumni organization extant, not only among Yale giaduates, but of any college or Harkness Tower seen from Hotel Taft, with Connecticut Hall in the foreground Alumni Dinner in June, 1909, welcomed back alumni from 1844 on university in the United States, and the alumni in general have proven staunch supporters of Yale, both financially and inspirationally. Because of the great number of men Yale has prepared for the presidency of other institutions of learning, a record unmatched by any other university, she is often called the mother of colleges. An Illustrious Alumni s FOR the other famous men of Yale, the ninnber -who deserve rec- ognition is astounding. So it is that this statement by another must suffice: If one could name ... all the grad- uates of Yale, he would find so great a list of men that it voidd form a roll of honor all its o vn.

So has the indi- vidual once he, too, has been able to say proudly, I am a Yale man. For if ... he does not grow stronger through the associations and subtle influences that surround him, it will not be be- cause Yale has not offered him what any right-minded young man is eager to have,— the opportvmity to make some- thing out of himself.

Linonia and Brothers (iJT ' HE TWO EARLIEST Societies of which anything is known were Linonia, founded in 1753, and Brothers in Unity, established fifteen years later and pop- ularly called Brothers. Both organ izations were literary in nature. Cal liope, a society of southerners, remained strong until the Civil War. Though they maintained selective en- trance requirements for a while, Lino Ilia and Brothers soon began vying for superiority in numbers. The rivalry eventually became far too bitter, and from 1801 to 1830, the two societies chose alternate names of all entering students from an alphabetical list. Then the rivalry for numbers broke out once again, and each society presented a Statement of Fact ' to the freshmen in a large assembly hall, hoping to impress the uninitiated with one particular so- Old Delta Kappa Epsilon tomb, about 1900 ciety. The sophomore class soon devel- oped the habit of forcibly rushing the freshmen in order to keep them away from the meetings, though the frosh invariably entered to listen attentively to arguments offered by the society [ vhile] the sophomores threw beans at everyone but the speakers. . . . The Library ' s Gain s TIME WENT ON, Liuouia and Bro- thers became less and less impor- tant, until they finally dwindled away to nothing. Yet for years after, an initial L. or B. was prefixed to every name in the Banner or Pot Pourri to indi- cate membership in one of the societies, though no longer did anyone kno v or care which was his society. At one time, during the second quar- ter of the nineteenth century, an execu- tive position in one of these societies was the highest honor a man could achieve. Old Zeta Psi tomb in 1900 Later, these high offices vere filled by defatilt, and finally left vacant. An important contribution, none- theless, was the collection of upwards of twenty-five thousand books, which proved to be a valuable stipplement to the rapidly expanding college library. They were presented when the two societies disbanded in 1871. Today, Linonia and Brothers Library is the name of the general reading room in the imiversity library. Phi Beta Kappa T ITS HEIGHT, the class society sys- tem included societies for each of the four classes. These societies even- tually caused the demise of the open so- cieties of Linonia and Brothers. Phi Beta Kappa was the first secret so- ciety to find its way to the Yale campus. Established in 1776 at the College of William and Mary for the promotion i of literature and friendly intercourse among scholars, a charter for Alpha of Connecticut was granted to Yale in 1779. Within a few decades the secrecy of the society had vanished. Skull and Bones ;?KULL AND BONES, Originally printed Scull and Bone, was established in 1832 as a result of discontent with the manner of confering Phi Beta Kappa Tap Day (OT ' he ritual of Tap Day experienced many a change during its tedious evolution over the years. At first, senior society men went to the rooms of chosen juniors at midnight of a Thursday near the school year ' s close, and asked for their acceptance. Neutrals started following the group and getting in the way, however. A new plan directed one society sen- ' Hl es a ]to7iy ' into bk. Drawing from Ichabod Academicus, by two mid-nineteenth century graduates elections. Whatever its humble begin- nings may have been, its entrance onto the scene marked the inception of the senior society system of today. By 1870, there were two senior so- cieties which elected fifteen men each year. At that time, one-fourth of the senior class was included in their aver- age membership, and there were at least two more or less secret societies in each of the four classes. ior at a time to go to a junior s room m the early evening and ask him, Do you accept? But now, false alarms were raised, entry doors were barricaded, trip ropes Avere well-placed, and sure can- didates were tied or locked in their rooms, all of which served to interrupt calm proceedings. Consequently, beginning in 1881, an outdoor ceremony was held in front of Farnam Hall on the Old Campus; after Taking it easy 1914, it was held in Berkeley Oval; and since 1934, Branford Court has been the site of Tap Day. The Diggers (T CROLL AND KEY was established in 1841, and a third society, Spade and Grave, was formed about 1865, partially as a protest against Bones ' power poli- tics. The name of the newest society was suggested by the grave scene in Hamlet, wherein the digger tosses up the skull and bones with his spade, and was meant to indicate the hastening day of the eventual overthrow of Skull and Bones. The new society was at first called Bed and Broom by outsiders, but soon was known only by the title of Dig- gers. ' To give community and sweet- ness to the eating of sour grapes ' was even more notoriously than in the case of the original Keys men, the object for which the Diggers started their society. The object of much derision and scorn, the Diggers ceased operations in 1869. Greek-Letter Fraternities UNiOR, sophomore, and then fresh- C man societies, in that order, fol- lowed the birth of senior societies. Alpha Delta Phi was established at Yale four years after its founding at Hamilton College in 1832. The society was called Alpha Delt in other schools, but by some odd quirk was called Delta Phi at Yale. Other Greek letter junior fraternities followed on the heels of Delta Phi, and in time they strongly influenced elec- tions to all key positions in the college. Coalitions of and clandestine agree- ments between these societies proved the rule, not the exception, in undergrad- uate politics for a long period of time. Sophomore Societies (jT n FIRST sophomore society. Kappa Sigma Theta, seems to have made its appearance in 1838, with a freshman debating club very possibly serving as a nucleus. Rivals and offshoots of Sigma Theta, as it was popularly called, sprang up in the following years. Selection o fresh- men for their own societies plus their simultaneous selection by junior so- cieties caused conflicts within the sopho- more societies, and by the end of the century they were abolished. Freshman Societies OTH junior and sophomore societies pledged prominent freshmen early in their first year, and probably in order to help determine the forthcoming 40 St. Elmo, about 1890 n 1 ' 1 : ' :. The Cloister, now Book and Snake, about 1888 Old Alpha Delta Phi house, on Hillhouse Avenue Book and Bond house on Prospect Place. The society expired in 1935 big men did freshman societies arise This they did in 1840, with the forma- tion of Kappa Sigma Epsilon, known as Sigma Eps. At first, this was a select so ciety, but competition from new soci- eties soon made possession of the larg- est number of men the chief criterion of a successful society. Thus, no freshman was ever rejected, and each freshman was expected to join one of the societies. They were all pledged within a week after their arrival at Yale, and any fresh- man who was not pledged when he ar- rived was forced to listen to some of the biggest lies imaginable on behalf of one or another of the societies. Freshman societies became obsolete after half a century of activity. Neither rhey nor the sophomore societies had proven too worthwhile, and they de- tracted in some ways from the added camaraderie which could be developed in more intensified junior and senior society bonds. Sheflf Societies Cp IT WAS that the fraternities and senior societies of today developed. Almost parallel to but separate from that development was the birth of Sheff societies and fraternities. A function of Berzelius, first Sheff sen- ior society, at its inception in 1848, was the presentation of the Berzelius Prizes ' to members of the graduating class for excellence in different branches of science. Sheff ' s first Greek letter fraternity was Theta Xi, established in 1865, and by 1903 there were half a dozen such fra- ternities. These fraternities helped alle- viate the Scientific School ' s complete lack of dormitories which existed until the beginning of this century. Yale Col- lege fraternities were never used for residential purposes, however, for stu- dents in Yale College found suitable quarters in university dormitories and in private homes throughout New Haven. Down the hatch Honor Societies The Bully Club (JT ' n YALE CHAPTER of Sigma Xi, sci- entific honorary society, was estab- lished in 1895. Both Torch and Aure- lian Honor Societies were once exclu- sively Sheff institutions, arising just be- fore World War I, and became univer- sity societies only when Sheff and Yale College joined together in 1945. Calcium Light Night Parade — a ceremony iyi which junior society men were once chosen Presentation Day (;S) RESENTATiON DAY existed for well over a century, taking place about a week before commencement. Speeches, class poems, and orations were read, and prizes and scholarships were annotmced. The ]3osition of class orator was con- sidered the highest honor which a class could confer on one of its members, though some society politics were in- volved. The class poet was almost as im- portant a figure. These performances by the students began in the early 1800 ' s. Sweet Sadness t one time, leave-taking after Pres- entation Day was quite formal and j)ublic. It was held in front of South College t(jr a while, in the pre.sence of an lui- sympaihetic crowd of spectators — the female portion of which rather enjoyed the spectacle of seeing the yoimg men cry, and thought it rather ' fininy.

Thereafter, the largest and most mus- cidar man of each class was chosen as Bully, and in addition to leading his class physically, he presided o er class meetings and the like. As difficidties with the townsmen sub- sided, brawn came to be of less impor- tance, Avhile popularity took on ne v stature, and the most poptdar man in each class was elected Bully. Opposition to the term Bully arose about 1840, and after much heated con- troversy about changing the title to President, the group which held out for the latter term emerged xictorious. Fairly soon afterwards, the College decreed that there should be no class officers or organizations, and so Bullyism died out forever. [ The Junior Promenade ( 57 HE JUNIOR PROM of today has had a colorfid background. Lasting throughout most of the nine- teenth century was the Jimior Exhibi- tion, which was first held about 1800. Speeches on various topics Avere the order of the day. A burlesque of these ceremonies led to the rise of the Wooden Spoon Exhi- bition. Cambridge University had a tradition of presenting a wooden spoon to the man of lowest academic standing, and Avith this idea in mind, some Yale students soon gathered together a com- mittee of nine which they labeled C ocli I eaureati— those laureled with the spoon — led by a Coclileaureatiis. Secret performances specializing in buffoonery of all sorts, poking particidar fun at scholarly pursuits, vent on for some time, btit the meetings seemed so much fim that they were finally presented publicly. Having grou ' n to these proportions, the ceremony took on new dignity, and soon the most popular man in the class, amidst the flurry of society poli- tics, became the recipient of the Wooden Spoon. The Wooden Spoon Promenade vzs arranged to precede the Exhibition, and the two dates had great significance. Earlier in the cenutry, a Junior Prom- enade had been instituted, being held each year in February or March, but it was not long before the Wooden Spoon Promenade overshadowed the mid--(vin- ter affair. The prestige involved in acquiring the Wooden Spoon eventually became () erA heiming to the point where pop- ularity was sought at the expense of studies.. This fact became evident to the student body in the early 1870 ' s. and they consequently voted to abolish the practice. Both the Junior Prom and the Wooden Spoon Presentation remain, but very much unlike their original form. J. L. G.

MAGNIFICENT residential colleges of today are a far cry from the facilities which existed for the Yale man until very recently. Private homes, in Saybrook, Killing- worth, and other nearby towns provided the first shelter. In 1752, Connecticut Hall, first building in the famed Old Brick. Row, was completed. The second dormitory erected vas Union Hall, pop- ularly called South College, about forty years later, and for the following thirty years the Row expanded bit by bit. More dormitories, a chapel, and a divinity hall were among the chief addi- tions. The Commons System EHiND the Brick Row were situated an unimpressive collection of non- descript buildings. A college dining hall was erected in the 1780 ' s, and about forty years later the College Commons was moved into the Cabinet, another building behind the Row. The Commons system prevailed until the early 1800 ' s. All students of the col- lege Avere required to eat together and to help Avith various chores— as shelling The South Pump— 1860 Silhouette of the old Library, now Dwight Hall peas and peeling potatoes — whenever their assistance vas needed. The Trumbull Gallery, also behind the Row and later called the Treasury, was the first art gallery connected with a college in America. Eating Clubs ANY of the undergraduate body, incltiding the majority of fresh- men, roomed in private houses through- out the city during the nineteenth cen- tury. The students obtained their meals at eating clubs situated in rooms near their lodgings. Membership was voted to others by those already in the club. Various eating clubs gave themselves names which were often published in the Banner, with accompanying mem- bership lists. Among the titles printed were the Vultures, the Dyspeptics, and the Gastronomers. The Commons system was reinstituted in the 1880 ' s, its f miction being to pro- vide cheap but respectable food at a low cost, but the eating clubs continued in existence for some time after. e Good Old Dayi (:; RICES were lower in the good old days. Annual college room rents in 1870, for instance, varied from 1 12.50 to $50. Each room was heated by stove, and the price of coal depended upon the niunber of flights of stairs up which it was necessary to haul the fuel. A college ordinance of the nineteenth century read: Each man must build his own fire, trim his own lamps, and draw his own water at the college pump, or hydrant, or cistern, or basement sink. Though servants were sometimes hired to perform these tasks, the college dis- couraged the practice. By 1880, there were few bathrooms to be found, the only ones in existence be- ing located in the basement of the Gymnasium. Bigger and Better (JT ' WE. FIRST separate library at Yale was completed in the 1840 ' s, and by A sketch of Berkeley Oval 1870 there were over 100,000 books and pamphlets therein. A century earlier there had been a mere 3.000 books on hand, while today the library boasts of almost fotir million vokimes. Just after its completion in 1869, Farnam Hall, now an Old Campus dormitory, was referred to as a com- modious and elegant edifice. This building, compared to the barrack-like construction of the Old Brick Row, was indeed outstanding for its day. But since that date, the tmiversity ' s appearance has radically changed sev- eral times. Most recent innovation has been the college system, providing ten residential imits. The cornerstone for the Memorial Quadrangle, which later became Branford and Saybrook Col- leges, was laid in 1917; the college sys- tem did not go into effect until 1933; and Silliman College, latest of the col- leges, was completed just before World War II. Today, only freshmen live on the Old Campus. J. L.

Mendenhall ' s arrival as the new Master. Succeeding Mr. Hemingway at the opening of the school year, Professor Menden- hall found himself in charge of two large buildings and three himdred Vale men. Before him was the task of giving Berkeley something more than the reputation of being the most centrally located college. Mr. Mendenhall did a good job. In the fall, the tradition of college dances on big football weekends was continued— but some- thing more than Coca-Cola lurked in the Old Tennis Shoes punch. Everyone was given a chance to throw a party before the dance (even if it meant Al Moody asleep on the floor by six o ' clock). On Princeton weekend, Berkeley gave a dinner dance which was not only a good time but was a money-maker for Thomas C. Mimh nhail, Master the College social iiiiul. Many beer cans veie thrown, voices weie ellecl hoarse, and the nine o ' clock rule for ladies in the common room was all too strictly enforced. After the Thanksgiving weekend breather, Berkeley men began the long struggle that would culminate in mid-year exams. Attend- ance at Master ' s teas soared, Perrv O ' Neal wore out a new set of tires in a week, and the bridge game in 536 went on a twent -four hour schedule; Dave McKee played Benny Osterheimer and his Dirty Quintet ' s record of Oh, Promise Me thirty-seven times in succession. Lou Ruckgaber, used to dodging soccer balls in the varsity goal, tried the same routine with the draft by joining the Naval Reserve. Roy Grutman bought a nev; pair of white shoes, and Rocky Morris brought fame to Berkeley by becoming second potentate on the Junior Prom Committee. Several jjeople also studied. At Christmas, Miss Corothers puiiccl the coup of the year with a fabulous turkey din- ner that for once made us glad to be in the chow line. The Master ' s house echoed with the traditional noises of the beer-and-hymns party, and Christmas spirit rose to a concert pitch over a mysterious-looking punch served in entry A . ,Se eral members of the College swore that the saw .Santa o er the North Berkeley roof at two o ' clock that morning. The new year wafted in with cries of an- guish over the coming mid-year exams and imfinished term papers. Mr. Mendenhall gave a second round of beer parties, and the roads to Bennett, Wellesley, Vassar, and Smith were clogged with Berkelevites seeking fresh springs of wisdom. Exams came and went like the angel of death. Two on the fourth at Hialeah nirxrlc nniiiiiiii Dnv dl Berkeley When the longer days and shorter odds for escaping the draft announced the spring term ' s arrival, nianv Berkeley men adopted a policy of making hay while still in mufti. Bill Wright pressed for the construction of a skat- ing rink in the South Berkeley court, while Mike van Beiuen made valiant efforts to or- ganize a snowball fight between the students and the Fellows. Warm weather and a cool administration put a stop to this. Fewer people came to breakfast, and Frank Dufresne continued to clean up in the milk bar. March 9 brought the Junior Prom with the usual bird-dogging and subway-train dancing conditions. April and May were months of idyllic spring for some, but for others, they marked the da) of reckoning. Berkeley seniors struggled with visions of no degree when Commencement arrived. Juniors were thinking of who the knew on their draft boards. Berkeley became all leafy and green just like every other col- lege, and our squirrels— which no other college could possibly match— resumed their spring- time occupations. As the 1950-1951 school year ended. Mr. Mendenhall could look back on a College that did have more than just a central location. Berkeley and Mr. Mendenhall played a large part in all the Mitres ' li es— a part that won ' t be forgotten. —George B. Roberts jr.

IIH The Berkeley football team, league cliainl?ions. were unscored upon h any other College learn Athletics XlDMITTEDLY in the weaker ot the two leagues in football, Berkeley ran roughshod over six opponents inckuling two South League foes, racking up 137 points while holding the opposition scoreless. Employing the two-platoon system wherever possible, the offensive line of Allen, Ward, Treadway, Brennan. Malarkey, Coach Dufresne, and Nobil tore gaping holes in the defenses for the fleet and powerful corps of backs, led b Weller, NefF, Bob and Fred Dickson, and Captain Sandy Sulger. A powerfid defensive unit led by Colder and Grange effectively stopped enemy ball carriers and repeatedly dumped would-be passers for losses. They proved themselves to be at their best under pressine when, against Calhoun, the ball carrier raced to the Berkeley ten, being caught there from behind. On the next play the runner was hit hard enough to make him fiunbie, and licrkeley recovered. This was only one of many similar incidents. Thus the Mitres exerted their mastery bv gaitiing their third championship. The sea- son ended on a discordant note, however, as Eliot House, outweighing Berkele b as iiuu h as fift pounds per man in some positions, gained victory on a muddv field at Harvard, 27-0. The touch football team, although not the class of the league, nevertheless vastly im- proved its standing from the previous year, climbing from ninth place to a tie for third. Co-captained by Bennett and Shadek. they compiled a 6-3 record. Co-Captains Mcintosh and Tyler led a small but willing group of soccer players. The schedule of games every Monday and Thurs- day ruled out any hope of military and naval science students ' participation and, as a result, the team was hampered immeasurably by a dearth of reserves, sometimes lacking enough for a starting eleven. However, the tie for eighth place which they gained overlooks the scores— four gaines were lost by the margin of one goal. The fall tennis tournament was won bv Ernie Gibson, and the turnout of 21 players indicated bright prospects for the spring. There were 95 participants in fall athletics, approximately one-third of the College ' s total enroljiiunt. These men ase lierkelev a sec- ond place standing in o er-all competition, nine points behind the leaders. The basketball teams each won four early- season games and seemed on the way to rec- ords comparable to 1950, when the A squad garnered 14 straight and the B squad copped second place in its league. Incidentalh, the A squad ' s record was unparalleled in inter- college annals. Captain Bob Kemble had a scjuad ot ten men, any of whom was capable of scoring in double figures, while the B players were led by Captain Howie Bennett, Noyes, and Pease. The swimming team showed promise, aftei a fine start marred only by a 30-27 defeat at the hands of perennially powerfid Trumbull. Fred Dickson and Neil Merriam co-captained the mermen. Squash w-as hampered b) the graduation of all five starters, but, with Bob Demuth at the helm, they compiled a pleasing record. Handball, generally a weak spot in the Berkele) athletic picture, showed more prom- ise than in past years, while boxing and wrestling, generally powerful, were expected to provide the Mitre ' s important points. Hockey, lacking an experienced goalie, was the big cjuestion mark: one ictory was all the team could muster. —Francis E.

BRANFORD COLLEGE s THE TOWER version ot Going Home chimed through the Branford court- yard, the men of Branford suddenly realized that after listening to the bells ' ceaseless tolling throughout the year, they were finally hearing a message about to be realized. Spring was upon the Towermen, and the sun was shining in Branford, at least, if not in the world in general. After a final battle of wits with the faculty, the school year was drawing to a close. Whether they were going home or elsewhere, there was much that took place in 1950-1951 in Branford that its members would not forget for a long time to come. It all started back in September, when the Harkness Chimes began ringing their dubious promise. There were some who didn ' t return, who were already wearing unforeseen khaki, and there was a great possibility that the fad might spread. Nevertheless, almost everyone who was expected arrived in fairly good shape, with the exception of Dave Massie, who appeared about two weeks late mum- bling something about the Marine Reserve. These undertones symbolized the morass of confusion which gradually wore off as every- one got back in the rut of normalcy. With the coming of the football season, dates re- placed draft boards as a topic of conversation, and flushograms on the bulletin board were more to be feared than greetings from the President of the United States. Mort ' s busi- ness thrived, and the unforgettable cocktail parties sprouted in all sorts of places from Fridays through Sundays. The new television set donated by football Coach Herman Hickman drew Charlie Dau- kas to watch the fights, Bill Fischer to cheer on Tricky Dick, Rails Longman to view Norman S, Buck, Mailer bigger and better matmen, Ed Murray to watch Uncle Miltie, and customers to Doz Fields and the milk bar staff. Tom Daniel ' s Tower Bulletin appeared regulary at Chris ' s desk, as did Bob Murdock ' s pasted-up copies of Army propaganda. Ray Bright, Bob Brown, John Keene, and Clark McConnell became staunch supporters of bureaucracy by being elected to the Branford Coimcil. Colimibia weekend brought a dinner dance and the memorable Raccoon Club outing to the College. Club President Esterling appeared in the Wh sweater to get the afternoon underwav. while many of the athletes, after finding the one caged raccoon, transferred their talents to the Softball field. Others, less violent by nature, fixed their attention on the beer. Frank Efinger pitched a fifty-hitter for the winning side in a game which ended when Bob W ieczorowski knocked his date down with a line drive. Mossback Munson, given up for lost, finally emerged from the woods. The football season went on, gathering momentuin as it went, but with a few excep- tions it was the same as other football seasons. Those exceptions included oddities like Clark McConnell ' s appearance in the Branford sen- ior picture. The Princeton weekend brought with it a fall dance and a pre-dance debate between Seymour Fink and Tom Daniel to determine how low the crepe paper could be hung without entangling Pete Smith ' s head. I ' ! I f i m ' fi iHr ' ;Jv;- . t? ' A l - ' Byunlmd uiiliiin memorable day in a ivrabic year The dance itself was a huge success, after which there was little to look forward to but Thanksgiving. Luckily, Thanksgiving was onlv a few days away. The holiday brought a mild hurricane to Cambridge and the eastern sea- board in general, and when the sur ivors straggled back, the stories, particidarh I om Cooper ' s, grew and grew. After the football seasoir. there was nothing for people with mobile transportation— like George Gould — to do but stoiu lor new material at .Smith or Vassar, while the less explorator) started studying or flicking off, with a movie usually winning out. .Simdavs were marked by an exceptionally good meal or a trip to the Bucks ' for tea, at vhich affairs one could usualh coiuit on seeing [oe Mitinger. Christmas vacation finally came. The tradi- tional tree was decorated, after which every- one went home. They returned in January, sorely in need of rest and full of fantastic stories, and after Jim .Stotter undecorated the Christmas tree, e erybody settled down for mid-year exams. The second term got under wa with snow and classes, and the skiers started on their merry way toward the north lands, apparenth oblivious to the fact that some of them would soon have arms and legs in plaster casts. In the spirit of the season. Bill Felstiner and Harry Hyman finally figured out a way to con- vert their raccoon coats into skiing togs. Da e Crego, Johir W ' illiams, and Ed Burgard con- tinued the Blue Note concerts in the lounge, and Bill .Stone, chairman of the Junior Prom Committee, suddenly found himself with many new friends, all of whom wanted conrpli- mentary tickets to the Prom. Thus Branford. filled with the anguished moans of Ace Le- Gardeur, who was bemoaning the banning of New Orleans ' s Mardi Gras, converted to the winter season. The Prom passed, and Avith it the third er sutcesslul Branford ilante ol the year. With the onset of spring, a paradoxicalh feverish lethargy set in, and Bud Hill stepped up his quota of fourteen hours of sleep per week to sixteen. Harry Kaminer came up from the squash courts and joined Bill Cruikshank on the golf links. .Spring vacation came and went, and Branford ' s last fling of the year, the outdoor dance and outing at Pine Orchard, was just around the corner. Athletics XhE fall intercollege athletic season opened with an emphasis on football, with four members of 1949 ' s South League cham- pions forming the nucleus for early-season practice. Gone was the tricky V-fonnation and the backbone of the team, but the footballers buckled down to a serious building job. Operating out of the single-wing in the opener with TD, the team, very green but with definite possibilities, emerged with a 13-(1 ictorv. Agamst Davenport, the Branford defensive platoon more than made up for offensive lapses, as the Towermen gained a hard-fought scoreless deadlock. With the back- field showing steady improvement both in play execution and timing, Pierson and Say- brook w ' as vanquished. Tension and feeling ran high as JE formed a formidable threat to the title. Time after time, Branford found itself in a scoring position only to be stopped short, but, at long last, Branford partisans were rewarded by Austy Sayre ' s desperation catch which set up the game ' s only score. With the South League championship gained, Bran- ford prepared to meet powerfid Berkeley for the intercollege championship. In bitter cold, high hopes were dispelled as Branford suc- cumbed, 13-0. Standouts in the line included Boyle, Sayre, Woodbrige, Gries, Hyman, and Wieland, while Ott-Hansen, LeGardeur, John- son, Tompkins, and Jackson added depth with their hard-rinining ability. For the second stra ight year, the soccer team failed to taste victory; the loss of co-Captain Cory Sperry in an early-season contest ham- peied the hooters in their attempts to break into the win column. Branford scored three goals against thirty for their opponents, a tie with Silliman being the highlight of an other- wise dismal campaign. The touch team, led bv Norris, Melhado, McAdams, and con erted footballers Fischer, Boyle, and Wargo. finished with a paltry pair of victories, a somewhat poorer season than expected. The winter season found Coach Bill Fischer ' s fine basketball team a leading con- tender for the title. Effective backboard con- trol was exhibited by Brad Quackenbush and newcomer Pete Radidovic throughout the campaign. Set shot specialists Martin and Cane contributed many timely points, and these, coupled with the consummate playmaking of the Sage of Malverne, formed a well-coordin- ated tjuintet. The B team did not fare as well as their more talented brothers, but, compared with the past, the season was more -- Bob U ' icc-.n,,ni ' slii l r,lmit ' S to block Dill npliiincut in earh - ianoti aalhnll !i iiiir than successful. John Williams ' hockey sextet compiled only a passable record, despite such capable players as Crispell, Stevens, Sprague. Paradise, and Murphy. As in the fall, the brunt of point-gathering responsibilities fell on the shoulders of the major sports, with the others having mediocre to poor seasons. Potentially, the squash team looked better than anticipated, but, in general, the raccjuet- men had trouble getting out on match days. Handball talent was also lacking, and, with a team composed of beginners, the handballers were able to garner only a few victories. .Swimming was strong individually, but the team lacked depth. Standout preformers in- cluded Cooper, McW ' horter, and Timmins. As the balmy days of spring appeared, it was evident that a strong showing in crew and baseball was needed to salvage lost ground. Sophomore neophytes filled many of the positions vacated by graduated oarsmen. On the diamond also, newcomers aided in a rebuilding job, with Fischer and Longman being the experienced mainstays. Tne Softball team looked to decided improvement, as did the tennis team, led by fall toinnament- winner Dudley Coates. — .Armand LeG. ruelr TojK Hiaiifordile and Pienon man join hands in lcal for the ball: Bottom: Branford gains fourteen yards CALHOUN COLLEGE V ALHOUN! the home of hustle and bustle —where the great and near-great ate lunch together to decide the fate of the world in general and Yale in particidar. An activities college in an activities university. It was a small college, et there were those who publi- cized it. Nothing out of the ordinary featiucd the year ' s beginning. The ' Hoim commemorated, with untold thanks, the passing of the trolleys, although bad weather forced the beer drinkers out of the court into the dining room. ' Houn- men went out to the Bowl on .Saturday after- noons and saw a list of their Collegemates in the program that looked like a catalogue of the Trojan ships. In point of fact, theie were thirty-fJAe footballers in the dining hall. Their names, in toto. would nearly fill the allotted space Un this article: Calhoim was partic- idarly proud of Snake Senay. mastermind Stu Tisdale, and Baird Brittingham, who were given honorable mention for the All- East team at the end of the season, Salty Peters, who won the Mitchell Punting Tro- phy, and Charlie Yeager, who, appropriately enough, won the football managerial com- petition at the year ' s end. Calhoiua went to the usual post-game parties which had the usual effect on metabol- ism and the physiognomy of the court; the inhabitants of the Castle and the Penthouse group entertained lavishly, but most of the bacchanalian kudos went to Roy Gelpke, Johnny Sprague, George Egbert, and Jinx Ross for their Dartmouth blast. They boasted in their invitations, Indian Scjuaw Makes Law, Our Gin Breeds Sin, and, at least figuratively, lived up to their advertising. Hank Belin and his cohorts from the Social Committee woimd things up in magnificent fashion by producing excellent and prolonged entertainment in the form of dinner music and a dance on the Princeton weekend. Life was not all beer and skittles for Cal- houn men, howe er. The immutable laws of love and the United States Army caused some to make drastic revisions in their mode of exis- tence. Chuck Shepard, Bob Fitzgerald, and Skip Gifford all returned in September •nh new lights in their eyes and professional house- keepers on their arms. Dick Tilghman, Jack Lohnes, and Da e Welles took tenn-time breaks for maiital purposes, and Salty Peters soon trod the path of connubial bliss. Another group found perhaps a more im- personal bedfellow in the form of the armed forces. Harry Dimkelberger forsook a spark- ling scholastic career for the Marines in November. The Montezimian authorities also seduced Len Anderson and Lyle Hall, while Earl Salley left to go in the Na y via a stint in the Merchant Marines, and Dick Suvdam John C.

The most spectacular departure of all, how- ever, was that of Bill Ottley, alias Sunshine. who died as he had lived. Before Calhoun ' s oldest inhabitant graced the Army with his considerable physical presence, most of the College had remained in their cups for a week. And the cups were large. Elections were held for the Calhoun Coun- cil; at their close, it was found that Bill Lynch. Walt Robbins, Pete Cruikshank, Bill jVIcCand- less, Bruce O ' Brien, and Christy Emerson were chosen as leaders. Cub Harvey assumed double duty as president of the Council and chief bullwhipper of the aides. The Council acutely chose money as its chief concern, and set to work to euchre out of Calhoini men their hard-earned allowances. Cub, the chief solic- itor and sales talker, reported that the inhab- itants of one room became annoyed when they were approached for the third time in one week after having contributed to the beer fund and the Budget Drive. He was asked what it was that he wanted now— was it blood? He signed up three contributors to the Red Cross Blood Drive. The College ' s governing bod ilid not (on- fine itself to high finance, however; a contro- versial pronouncement was handed down in the fall making coats and ties mandatory for the evening meal. Loud and outraged opposi- tion inmiciliatelv was in evidence, as Cluuk Masters, Bill Wooten, Art Dowd, and Walt Clemens roared about the inalienable rights of free men. The Council ' s power was proven, however, when the foursome finally complied. Their neckwear, it may be said without fear of contradiction, made Miss Hansen ' s pro ince a brighter place. The workings of the minor power groups did not prove so spectacular. Professors Bergin and Silk plus undeigraduates Dick O ' Brien. Bob Moncreiff, Bob Fitzgerald, Ed Senay, and Bert Walker discussed in a five-to-one haze the needs of the library. Fitz was a hangover, having been so intrigued by the intellectual fruits of the committee the previous year that he refused to resign. Dick O ' Brien and Bill Lynch masterminded the lecture committee, which arranged for a series of Calhoun Panels on topical subjects. The attendance at the first discusion: the five panel members, Dr. and Mrs. Schroeder, and an luiidentified per- son from Davenport. The debaters, coached by Mr. Lindbeck and headed by Bill Moor- luail. and starring Bill Guest, Pete Gilling- ham. Dick O ' Brien, Slim Sliney, Bill Lynch, and Brute NLirshall. seemed headed for some profitable vocalizing. The trivia of daily life is perhaps more important, however, in any recollections of C allioiui. Everyone enjoyed visiting the Arena on hockey evenings and watching the Calhoim Sinith-Howe-Noble line operating, as well as Hounmcii hear rendition of tite ] ' hi e Slwe Sonalii ' Charley Howe, Frank Kittiedge. and Pete Cruikshank in the nets. The entire College will remember going down to the sidewalk cafe-ish milk bar which, under the insidious influence of Roy Gelpke, was invaded by TV, and discussing Carter Strickler ' s acti ities with the student body of the Nursing School. It was amusing to watch the sudden friendships struck up between Harr Scoble and Tom Jones, and Dick Strodel and Larry Berg when the former became a marker in their Poli .Sci course. The ' Houn mar elled at the activities of Johnny Robson, trying to stretch himself an eighth of an inch so that he could fulfill the Air Force requirements. One could not help but chuckle at Professor Nordmeyer ' s Christmas speech on how to give a Christmas speech, at the Christmas party, and then en- joyed the antics of a peculiarly Fitzgeraldian Santa. And ' Hounmen were happ with the more serious aspects of college life. Dr. and Mrs. Schroeder ' s open-door policy toward problems and their sympathetic interest in the Col lege ' s collective and individual existence under- scored College life. And when Amie Cogswell announced that he would give three awards to seniors who had contributed most to the College, it seemed to typify the community and communal spirit of Calhoiui, a great place to live. —Garrison McC.

Sophs Charlie Deen, Bob Parcel Is, and Woodsum were three more good reasons why the Senators emerged suc- cessfully from the hoop campaign. The B basketball outfit, coached and paced by John Sprague and Bill McCandless, formed a close- knit group which compiled a good record. Hockey Coach John Calhoun had Bill Douglass, Chuck Shepard, Garry the Cat Ellis, Bill Freeman, Hank Belin, and Dave Powell as a powerful nucleus aroimd which to build a hard-skating team. Chuck Masters, Walt Clemens, Art Dowd. and Frank Muller, exhibiting a splendid early record, were con- tenders for the intercollege handball crown, while Dick Kimball, Gordon Wright, and Luckv Lufkin carried the ' Houn ' s hopes in squash. Bill Duncan, Maiuice Wakeman, Dick Thompson, and Dick Strodel led the swim- mers in their quest for the swimming trophy. The spring sports program foimd Calhoun with a Softball team featuring the speed and control of Al Peters, the sharp fielding of Bill McCandless, and the power-hitting of Larry Berg and Stu Tisdale; Jack Alexander, John Eden, and John Robson sparked the baseball nine in their battle for the league crown. Back to inspire the other crewmen to greater heights were Pros Gifford, Ted Steele, and Dick Kimball. —William P.

Hybris means violation, outrage, or wantonness. Certainly this ancient stem is extinct in its application to the College. Davenport was, by its very essence, a place of peace and comfortable living. Of course, there were mild exceptions. No one will ever forget the instances of violation (a metal beer- keg bootlegged into a room for a party), out- rage (fire in the Lower Court that saw Mr. Merriman in his pajamas and a host of under- graduates cheering the firemen at 4 AM), and ; antonness. But, essentially, life moved at a continental rather than a Main .Street pace. Joe, Jim, and George guarded the front door, and Miss D. was honorary custodian of the back gate. Rouse and Pritchard handled a new milk bar complete with grill, sofas, and TV chamber. College social existence was just what old Mr. Harkness wanted when he gave Yale all that money: a unit life original in itself. This was not Calhoun with its con- tinual and maddening Yo-babes, ' nor was this frenzied .Silliman: this was merely D ' poit —good wine in a stone bottle. In the fall, the College went to the Hybrid football games and Mr. Merriman ' s evening get-togethers. These parties were a pleasure. Lou AViggin, Ben Holden, and Mrs. Merri- DwMI Ml RK1 1 N. .l rn ri man made e er one feel at ease as they de- voured salami, cheese, beer, milk, brownies, and the words of people never met before. (The great list of chow is to distinguish properly this commentary from that of a girls ' school yearbook.) Sometimes, when one of the teams was particularly victorious, they were given a party before supper built around martinis.

At night, as the Hybrid walked to dinner, the singing of the O ' s and B ' s was heard underneath the arch- ways. On one of these nights, Mike Pettee won the Emerson Tuttle Memorial .Scholar- ship. During the Vale-Princeton weekend, Doug McGill engineered a dance exotically or erotically called The Autumn Climax. They served alcohol and it was a success. The real climax of the autumn was the Christmas Party just before vacation. There were candles and wine, then brandy, and a reading by Chauncey Tinker. In the spring, the gradual emergence of paddle-ball with the first (and last) new shoots of grass; the sim-tan boys; the Carolina Week- end, with its Spanish moss and beach party in Madison, added to the generally lazy atmos- phere of the season. I hose who graduated would probably not remember that Bob Rouse was their chief aide, in charge of the bursary staff— probably because most don ' t understand that he was responsible for the seemingly unconscious dex- terity and smoothness of much of the daily life in Davenport. They might have remem- bered Jim Pritchard was the chief librarian mainly because he trapped them with an over- due book. If they were athletes, they did remember Tom Mackelfresh — D ' port ' s Bob Hall. The Hybrid Herald, ably edited by Warner Rosenthal, appeared when it had some notable news to report, and stood up more than well in comparison with the other college papers. In one of its issues it announced that there woidd be a new Pierson-Davenport football trophy; namely, a varnished turtle shell with the two college emblems and a place for future scores. Needless to say, the trophy himg in the dining room. .Speaking of shells, a new personality stuck its head into the Hybrid scene this year.

NDER THE ABLE HANDS of Ray AI bright and Bill Rule, the Davenport football team got off to a good start by dumping Trumbull, 7-0. Despite the highest expecta- tions occasioned by this victory, the team managed to compile a rather poor 2-1-2 record, for talent in the persons of co-Captains Hank Scott and Jerry Stamm, Byrd Brown, Bob Rivers, Jack Markle, Paul Spadone, and Bill Gahagan, was imable to put together a success- ful attack for the Hybrids. With a victory over Pierson, traditional rivals, the season was adjudged at least a partial success. Touch football started the season in high gear, as D ' port won its first two games against Trumbull and Calhoun, breaking a two-year losing streak. Credit for the fine season went to Harry Havemeyer. Pete Connick, and Dan Lackey. Other reliables were Dick De ine, Bill Ross, and Otis Hubbard. The soccer team, under the direction of Line Cornell, compiled a record similiar to that of the footballers, with three wins, three ties, and three losses. The playing coach showed the greatest scoring ability, but his efforts were ably abetted by those of John Mc- Donald, John Skavlem, Da e Eldredge, and John Morgan. In the early months of winter competition, the squash team showed signs of a latent power. The bulk of this strength lay in the strong arms of such accomplished racquet- men as Will Ross, Bill Hawes, Lou Lawrence, Dan Lackey, Stan Shepard, and Alan Dworsky. The swimming team exhibited tremendous early-season form and times. Serving as coach and organizer. Captain Bill Kitchel rounded up outstanding talent such as Jack Smith and Rollin Warner, The handball aggregation, made up of Martin Green, a fine player. Matt Walton, Bill Wright, and Bill Hartfiel, did not fare as well. The A team in basketball was a star- studded aggregation, biu never seemed able to coordinate their potential. Flashes of power were seen in such games as the Silliman con- test, when lanky Bill Evans tossed in a near- lecord 26-point total, and Rebel Jack May diunped in nine solid counters. Bo Polk, Jim Rvan, and Bill Edward also played well. The defending-champion hockey team showed signs of repeating their fine 1950 show- ing. Coach Otis Hubbard was aided by such hopefuls as John Quinn, Aid) Warner, Bob Dealy, Stan Shepard, and Frank Gardner. — J.

The fall term was ushered in with a grand bacchanalian beer blast to initiate the new sophomores properly. Credit must be given to Harry Henriques and his committee who did such a noteworthy job in making it easier for the sophomore neophytes to feel at home in their new environment. Then came the football weekends and the imported lovelies who found it impossible to get out of the college by the seven o ' clock curfew. The gay season reached its zenith with Andy Flues ' s and Pete Day ' s Princeton dance production. The ticket sale eclipsed all previ- ous records, but the capable Mr. F. did not see fit to declare dividends.

The fa- miliar cry of Big green spider machine crawl- ing over the field came ali e once more on the athletic fields. That 1950 spring drive netted JE two cham- pionships and two second places, to pull the Spiders into a solid second place for the year. Under the able leadership of Captain .Steve Evans, and spurred on by the barking of Andy Flues, the Jonathan Edwards crew broke the course record and also broke the Hanard- Yale jinx by defeating Eliot House of Har- vard by li , lengths on the West River Lagoon. Others of that historical crew who returned to try again included Taylor Overpeck, Pete Day, Harry Henricjues, and John Greene. The Softball team added another cup to the JE collection by coming back with eight Straight victories after dropping their opening game to Berkeley. This stretch drive included a 2-1 victory over the powerful Calhoim bats- men and a thrilling 12-9 victoi over Saybrook in the championship game which ended with a circus catch by Eric Smith. Outstanding throughout the season was the fielding of nothing-ball pitcher Joe Hoss and the sensa- tional batting of Captain Corky Smith. The end of the baseball .season found pitcher Brad Jones at the head of the batting list with a .526 average. JE also placed two others in the top ten, Dick Hart and George Babcock, but these were not enough to earn a higher place than sixth for the squad. The golf team placed second in the South League, and the tennis team, paced by roommates Ted Wood and Dave Maxwell, tied Calhoim for second. In s]3ite of the fact that five members of JE wer e playing varsity soccer, there were twenty gold charm winners as tlie scjuad defeated Trumbull in the plaNolf game. 2-1. for the chaiiipionsliii). and ended the season with a Spiderman finds ball too hot to handle 7-2-1 slate. The offensive scoring punch was led by Ted Wood, Eric Smith, and Bill Gow. The powerfid combination of co-Captains Dick Buchman and Cy Heard, along with some imbeliexable saves by goalie Ted Chit- tenden, made possible the six shutouts regis- tered during the season. Beau Gatch provided man ' good heads and long boots to fill the gap between these fullbacks and the line. Spirit, teamwork, and steady playing made possible this championship. The touch football team showed strength in beating second-place Silliman, 30-18, and in tying the championship TD squad, only to lose in the overtime, 30-32. A strong defense, led by Captain Lee Getz, Carl Drescher, Dick Beresford, and Nonn Hirsh, had many goal line stands that were later turned into JE scores. Fourth down and 13 to go for a first down — 16 for a touchdown. The Blue and Gold go back to pass— complete on the two, where a greenshirted Spider brings him down with a icious tackle. Two plays later, Branford scores the onlv Idiuiulown of the aine and Squash wns a popular iporl in Jonatlian Edwarch— courts were always crowded wins, 6-0. Vith that one play went the championship, and JE dropped all the way to fourth place in the close race in the South Football League. Championship hopes suffered a hard blow when Captain Harry Henriques was carried from the field in the opening game with a knee injury that sidelined him for the rest of the season. The smallest man on the line, Ralph Menapace, played with a vengeance that earned him a place on the all- star team. Other linemen who met face to face with a barrage of opponents many times included Spence Cone, Tobe Cottrell, Dave Webster, Bill Bradley, and Little Mountain Phil Swett. Spectacidar catches were made by the three glue-fingered ends, John Greene, Charlie Bradley, and Marty Shea. The entire small but hard-running backfield of Fred Barhoff, Coach George Graveson, George Bal)- cock, and John Stodghill were up for all-star nomination. The start of the winter season foimd }E in fourth place. The handball team continued its winning ways and, under Captain Dick Buchman, extended its winning streak. The snuash team was hard-hit b oradiiation and by ha ing three of its members mo e up to play varsity. The A basketball scjuad, loaded ith talent, developed rapidly imder Coach Tuck Redden. Dick Beresford assimied the coaching job in February as Tuck graduated at mid- year. The accurate shooting of Bob Rubin paced the Spiders and placed him high among league scorers: the deceptive passing and play- making ability of Al Soutar made him one of the most valuable members of the squad. The passing of Bob Grant, backboard work of Marty Shea, and hook shot artistry of Lenny Einnehmer rounded out the A squad. The B squad compiled a fair record, with Bigler and De ' is|3elaere as top scorers. The hard-luck swimming team had a hard time breaking its consecutive losing streak, but losses by one point and three points showed that there still was a chance. Ed Smith, Andv Flues, Boone Gross, Jerry Ralph, Gil Evans, and Fritz Tossberg were the backbone of a team that came up with some surprises. The hockey team improved steadily, with many new sophomores and a coterie of seasoned eterans. —David V. Hay 125 PIERSON COLLEGE A DEFINITION of Pieison as it existed in 1950-1951 would involve an academic discus- sion the conclusion of which would be of dubious value to anyone but the sociologists. The formation of such a definition would be particular) difficult because Pierson, like every other residential college, was completely a part of Yale as a whole. Some enjoy thinking that Pierson was more a part of Yale than other colleges, and these people could probably make a fairly strong case for their chauvinism. They would point to John Steadman, chair- man of the Neivs, or to Bob Spears, captain of the football team, to Dick Lemon, chair- man of the Record, to Tom McNamara, cap- tain of the hockey team, to ... in fact, they would probably bore you with their long- winded Who ' s Who. But they would have a case. And that Pierson does exist as a traditional source of effecti e contributors to Yale vitalitv is not imimpressive — if you want to be im- pressed. But Pierson existed not only as an integral part of the University, but also as a separate entity. It existed as a special social unit: although the members of the College may not have enjoyed the closeness of con- sanguinity, they found in Pierson all of the machinery conductive to fraternity.

Pierson ' s Gilbert and Sullivan production in the spring provided many men with a wholehearted diversion from the draft worries which were omnipresent. And Ryder ' s ambitious production of Yeomen of tlie Guard won for a few men considerable recog- nition as singers and actors. Widespread in- terest was shown in the production, especially as Pierson had sened in the fall as host to the D ' Oxly Carte Compairy and had met the people, primarily Marvin Green and Danyl Fancourt, who have made G S seem to be a pinnacle of western civilization. Those who were unimpressed by the Gilbert and Sullivan aspects of the company (if there were any) foimd sufficient consolation in frat- ernizing with the British ingenues after the party was over. One of the songsters enter- tained her date and others for a while in the snack bar, not by singing, but by attempting a tjuite American rendition of the jitterbug. Of the other programs of music, or discus- sion of the world situation, the concert of early American music, organized by Mr. Boat- wright. attracted most interest. The members of the College had little idea before the night of that concert that the common room had so much in common with Woolsey Hall. A harpsichord and an organ were imported, and the occasion expanded into a production of the SRO variety. Vliile the arrival of Robert Penn VV ' arren was a boon to the ent ire University, Pierson had a certain special interest in him, for he arrived as guest-Fellow of the College, in addi- tion to which half of the undergraduate mem- bers of his fiction-writing course were Pierson men. With WaiTen and three of the top Yale Lit men, including the chairman, John Had- Lefl: It ' s easy if you know which keys to hit; Right: . . . and the Spliinx ' s inscrutable smile ley, Pierson served, as it often has in the past, as a center tor creative writing at Vale. Among social events, the Christmas jjartv deserved special mention. The dining hall, decorated by a committee imder the elegant supervision of Mrs. Haight, looked better than ever, and a particularly witty Santa Claus Babbidge emptied his bag of gifts foi several people in the College. Peter Urnes, Pierson ' s Rhodes Scholar, received a tea cup as large as a chamber pot but infinitely more attractive, and Mrs. Joyner, Molly, Nick, and Andy were also among those to whom Santa Babbidge gave much-deserved gifts. In addi- tion to the spirited Christmas party and the splendid D ' Oyly Carte party, the usual beer parties and dances, supervised by Nimbo Enzer, assured the College members that the social fund had been well spent. Mr. Haight provided several new conven iences this year which improved Pierson life for many of the men; these included the dark room, the Falstaff room, the wood-work inii, shop, and new pool and billiard equipment. The Slave Quarters ' inhabitants continued their tradition of living in the grand style, and Pierson men in general felt that Pierson was the best college on the campus. Who can blame them? — James R. Copeland jr.

Pierson ' s athletic program got underway with fidl con- fidence in its ability to produce a fruitful season. In the past, autumn breezes had only served to cool the College ' s aspirations for sporting glory, for the final count had seen the Slaves occupying the unenviable ninth position in the fall standings for two consecu- tive years. However, the uncovering of a wealth of new talent, both competitive and advisory, enabled the football, soccer, and touch football teams to compile commendable records, the overall point totals placing Pier- son high up on the Tyng ladder. A fine start on the part of Pierson ' s winter athletes raised the hopes of the Black and Gold, and with prospects of strong spring aggregations, the outlook for a successful climax to the year ' s activities was indeed reassining. The football season began on an encour- aging note with the signing of popular Homer Babbidge to coach the 1950 squad. Coach Babbidge had but three returning lettemien (co-Captains Bill McCord and Fred Miller, and Joe Hyde) to work with, but the large turnout of new men enabled him to create a well-balanced unit with a powerful single-wing offense and a strong defense. Miller, Bill Howland. and sophomore Pete ' an Doren consistently provided the offensive pinich, while Plato Skouras and Frank Scott led the foi-ward wall in bottling up opposing backfield men. Outstanding in the line- backing department was Mike Gormley. The team triumphed in three out of five of its regular-season encounters, and then went on to finish the year with a 3-0 victory over Lowell House of Harvard, Van Doren ' s ac- curate toe providing the winning margin. Per- haps the outstanding factor in Pierson ' s success was its possession of a wealth of re- sc i e strength. The selection of all-star teams boie this out well, for Scott, Miller, Gormley, Skouras, McCord, Van Doren, Sandy Greer, and Nate Garrett all received recognition on post-.season honor ele ens, certainly a record of which to be proud. Despite a slow start and a lack of reserves, co-Captains Bill Moreland and Dick Bliss were able to lead their touch footballers to six wins in their last seven games and a third- place finish in the final standings. Don Blair, Gordie Davidson, and Art Stonehill all contri- buted standout performances in the Slaves ' strong stretch drive. An illustration of the acute manpower shortage was furnished by the situation which presented itself before the Branford game. The .Slaves were shy one man, but they soon discovered Ron Scharff, a Pier- sonite out to snap a few photographs, and pressed him into ser ice. Scharff scored a touchdown, and Pierson defeated the Tower- men by a 30-24 margin. Such tactics often completely befuddled Pierson ' s opponents. Most pleasant sinprise of the year was fur- nished by the soccermen. Captain Pat Kin- c aid ' s ascetically inclined hooters displayed a rigorous training program and fine spirits which enabled them to achieve success both during the game and between the halves. Kincaid and Charlie Stokes proved to be the most consistent scorers, while the fine field pla of Larry Kristiansen, Whit MacMillan, Dave Lawrence, Tony Schulte, John Cunning- ham, Co. combined to give the Sla es un- disputed possession of third place in the League. Coach Hobie Edmonds and his co-captains. Bud Dahl and Vic Hallberg. led their A basketball squad to a credi ble season, while Mike Suisman ' s B team compiled a fine record. In squash, the Slaves looked strong, with Captain Line Roden and Charlie Stokes showing the way, while on the handball courts Pat Kincaid and Dirk Gleysteen paced the team. Such stalwarts as John Steele, Nimbo Enzer, and newcomers Jim Prender- gast and Bill Albrecht made Pierson ' s natators strong contenders for loop honors. Coach John Ellsworth had a nucleus of four veterans (Jim Howard, Nellie Hooe, Steve Swisher, and Bill Howland) around which he hoped to build a top-flight unit of pucksters. Ralph Love, consistent winner of the Yale Boxing Trophy for three consecutive years, led the Slave boxers. —Michael Kravn. k jr.

And putting aside speculations ol World W ' ai 111, or con- cern with one ' s percentile lank, Sillinian, as usual, settled down to the old loutine: Col lege beer parties, big lootlall weekends, heeling WYBC, touch lootl)all in ilu- court, the fanatic bridge set, el nl. Doug Cummings, as a senioi cheerleadei, had an in at the YAA and procured weekK films of Vale football games for the College. An Stowers and Bob Tyson— co-chairmen of the Sounds-Off Committee— cooperated too, and lined Coach Hickman from tele ision foi his first public talk ol the ear, helore a jammed conmion looni. The most important social liuiction ol die lall season was the infamous Moslow Mule Party in 1846 Sillimangjad, thrown i) Clonev, Marshall, and Cardeiro lor their comrades among the students and faculty. The Daily Worker hadn ' t been invited (secretarial slip up), but it showed a great deal moie than passing interest in the meeting. Entry G saved up its energy lor the end of the football grind, having a real blow-out for the Princeton men. The pressine, in fact, blew out a bass-fiddle, several expensi e ladi- ators, and a small part of the student body. The hard-working Social Committee (headed by Gordon Hollingsworth and Norm Jenkins), which had held several informal dances duiing the fall, presented a great orchestra dance over this illustrious weekend too. In the best Silliman tradition, the work of the Student Coimcil, headed by Marshall, (ohn Guret, and Al Fox, was outstanding. This group introduced background music at dinner (over Kirk Bryan ' s dead body) and handled the anual scjuabbles between the lawn-lovers and the footballers. The Coimcil minutes, presented by Secretary Guret, w ere a bone of contention throughout Silliman, worth reading for their style and humor if not strictK lor their official content. The Salamandeis sLU i ed all crises, feeling sohent enough to go o er the top in the Budget Drive— handled ably by Dick Patton —and virile enough to lead the other colleges b lengths, with over eighty oluntary blood donors. This was largely due to the energetic service of Bruce Shore. Bill Strong was elected to the Jiuiior Prom Committee, succeeding one Ralph Stephan. Ralph represented Silliman on the Senior Council, and captained the varsity crew, but otherwise led a comparatively quiet life. One other singular honor accorded Silliman men was the annual award of the beauteous and prestige-laden Eeo Sachs Trophy to no lesser men than George Barrett and Joe Ryan. Despite athletic, e tracurricidar, and fra- ternit obligations, there was support of many activities wiiliiii the College, as in past ears.

Ihe Thank God It ' s Friday Club was reinstated, much to the detriment of Saturday classes. The non-athletic Prexies, who were reinforced by former grid star Clubfoot Downex, replayed every game on Saturday to the music of clinking glasses and the warm encouragement of some awed Vassarite or similar species. It was another memcjrable fail, li ing liom Sat- urday to Saturdax. Although TD slipped to a 4.7 girls per man ratio, the drop was hardly noticeable, and females abounded in the dining hall. The piano tinkled constanih in the lounge, but somebody at last thought to turn off the tele- vision, thus avoiding the e ening series of kiddie programs. Bob Denney and Bill Hays took it upon themsehesto see that the ancient institution of the ele en o ' clock beer did not fall by the wayside. A lliik vas still better than stuching, and an houi test xvas still a challenge to the gentleman. The Christmas seascjn brought the return of the I ' D players, xvho are defmitelv here to sta .

Cer- tainly the outstanding player on the squad was Johnny Little, who scored seven touch- downs himself, and passed for an astoiniding 41. Little ' s superb passing gave the Prexies such resounding scores as 60-6 over Calhoim and 60-12 against Trumbull. Other chores for the team were tinned in b . H Huiner and John Mitchell.

Despite the handball squad ' s two perennial members, Alf Hunter and John Little, the coiutmen enjoyed limited success. In boxing, the top TD pugilists were Jim Degnan and Chad Christine; the matmen were aided by Ted Hudson and Chuck Carl. Gaining five early-season victories, the natators bid fair to end high up in the standings. Vic Craig, Tim Smith, Ed Huling, and Lee Baker led the team to more than their share of triimiphs . TD expected to have a top-notch battery for the baseball season in Dick Barbour and Lany Krozel; softball holdovers included Les Frankenthal and Bob Fiske. With most of 1950 ' s crew gone, the Prexies woidd depend a great deal on such oarsmen as Rog Hull. TD ' s athletic success was due in large mea- sure to those who devoted their talents and time to helping the boys in several of the sports. To Don Aberg and Doug Miller for lootball and basketball, to Harry Lindh for soccer, to Jim Degnan for boxing, and Ted Hudson for wrestling, went TD ' s thanks for coaching jobs well done.

The woodwork smelled strongly of Oxydol and DDT, and the rooms obviously were as clean as they e er would be again. Some of the early arrivals were back for make-ups, some for football, others for the News, B.anner, and Record. while some, of course, came back early to make sure that they got the softest bed. Potty stood up, stretched, adjusted his belt, and set the clock ahead for another vear on the throne. In that first week there was an opening beer party, and when the beer was gone, so was the crowd— over to Mory ' s. Dana Whit- ing, the chief aide, did a superb job of touch- ing up Potty ' s makeup. So far. College life was relatively normal with one important ex- ception—the main topic of conversation was the draft and who would be called next. However, various rumors that flew around coidd be erified or rejected by Dr. Nick, who as General Hershev ' s adviser, was one of the few men on the camjius who really had the last word on a last-changing situation. And then the football season was upon us. with its aggregate of parties and females, females ami parties. The blast of the campus on Dartmouth weekend was the small party thrown at the world— which promptly threw it back at them— given by Hutchins, IDuffy. Stowell, Thompson, Aikens, and X ' irden. with Bill Gridley as Publicity Director. They told the Banner several days before the event that they wanted no photographs taken at the jjarty. Naturally, the Banner dispatched two flash-men to the scene of destruction, who subsequently received the Banner ' s Croix de Cuerre for their gallantry. On Princeton weekend, 1201 and IL ' OL ' . in conjunction with Williams and Andeison, ga e a pait that was a climax to all that had gone before and a standard for all that followed. Even Mrs. Taft, whose cheery motto, Seven days without food makes one week, cooperated in the venture by submit- ting some of her most cherished and revered formulas. The huge crowd flowed and spilled up the stairwells, and out in the cointyard. The party continued through forty gallons of John S. Nicholas, Master, and his wife lest the tiiiiuer-daiiee punch Left: ' Nealh the arclnray: Riglit: Xina cracked a funny Passions and loin calls honi joe. People lelt as their birthdays tame np. Speaking of birthdays, John Trumbull ' s natal day is always one of Trumbull ' s best holidays. Sherry is drunk to the old gentle- man ' s health, and Miss Taft reaches new heights of culinary endeavor. This year ' s cele- bration was particularly memorable because we had our first official glimpse of President Griswold, who gained the College ' s favor as a raconteur, even though Colcord insisted that he had heard the same jokes five years ago in Alabama. The climax of the fall season was cjuite naturally the annual Christmas party. The Christmas tree had been set up in the lounge, Toot Farr had almost been persuaded to play Santa, and dark suits were the order of the day. As the College enjoyed a special bill of fare and sang the old familiar carols in a room lit entirely by candlelight, even the most cynical were duly impressed. Exams, the fall Student Council, and several students all passed into obscurity in the winter months. Junior Prom and more Trumbull beer parties also came and went. Spring vaca- tion came, with some going to the shores of Bermuda, some to the resorts of Nassau, and some just plain going home. Then came the spring tei ' m, and New Haven was bearable again at least for five days a week. Came exams, and another year was gone.

The Tyng Cup became a more and more neb- ulous form, as it soon became obvious that some of the teams were not going to go into a majority of their games as favorites, but, even with a dull future, spirit remained high. The football team was divided imequallv between the bruisers and the briused, in pro- portion to the size and nastiness of their op- ponents. Tom Anderson captained a squad with real drive and spirit, though lacking in consistency. Abrams, Wilson, and Heist ran effectively, while Koessel, Livingston, Clark, Hamlin, Robin, and Chase carried the heav- iest defensive loads. The North League was tough, and the team was hamstrung by in- jinies incuncd in llu ' ii l ' iilii ittoi oxci .Silliman. The talented-toed soccer aggregation car- ried the championship race into a playoff with TD before dropping the title tilt. 2-1. Though the Bulls held the edge in ball-control, the exiting post-season contest residted in their downfall. Bill Gridley led Chambers, Smith, Jack, Sperling, Treadway. et al in a string of wins that was marred by only one lapse, against Calhoun, and two ties. The touch footballers managed to enjoy themselves, but failed to boast a great deal about their distinctive 0-9 record. The close ones that didn ' t count plagued the rosy dreams of Captain Newbery and his cohorts, including Stilwell, Selz, Grusky, and Pollock. TrumbuUians again pointed with pride to their well-rounded swimming team, but with giave misgivings. Many of the veterans of yesteryear had graduated, and the College contribution to the varsity was appalling. But Ral[jh Spencer, faced with the problem of re- building more on reputation than on sur iv- ing strength, managed to gather a team that continued Trumbidl ' s winning ways. Hutch- craft. Schiihz, Hughes, Nicoll, and Wright provided points when and where they were most needed. Both A ' and B basketball looked forward to improvement after slow starts in their winter campaigns, as Williams and Finlayson led the A scoring. The junior loop found an excellent coach in Al Robin, but could not score those ever neces- sary points, in spite of the efforts of Mc- Cauley, Potter, Chase, K oessel, and Zickl, who were especially noteworthy. Ice had come to stand in the College as a traditional symbol of all that was disastrous. In 1951, there was nothing to promise cessa- tion of the record (30-plus losses) before Herb Emanuelson sized up his squad. He found, to his delight that he could delegate some of his tasks to broad shoulders. Clark, Kilborne, .Stowell. and Watson led this reservoir of po- tential; the team was no power, but no push- oxer either. Handball, as well as swimming, required complete replacement. Out from under the wraps and the wonders of 1950 came Harvey, Free, Staszowski, and Swann to provide an- other successful season. Wrench, Hutchins, C;ridley, Duffy, and Marsh, mainstays of the Bidl squash team, spent most of the season getting tired and coming in second. The tournament and College ladder were active with resounding challenges adding up to depth and experience. Wilson and Abrams alone carried prior experience into the boxing ring, while in the welterweight class, Kipka stood out for his aggressive, hard-hitting punches. With warm weather just aiound the corner, the TrumbiUl spring teams expected, like the wisteria trees, fidl blooms. —Roy W. Banweli. jr.

The game preceded the time of traditional class rushes, described elsewhere, and was little more than a mob scene en- gaged in by two opposing classes. Because of its excessive and unneces- sary brutality, the game was abolished about 1860. Ten years later, the first traces of football as we know it today arose, and in 1872, Yale played its first intercollegiate football game — with Columbia. With twenty players on each team, Yale scored three goals against Columbia ' s none, to win the only game played in that first year. There was no points system of scoring until 1883, and it was 1912 before the present scor- ing system went into effect. An AU-Time Record Ol MJZ HAS HAD an even dozen unde- feated and untied teams, but two- thirds of these unblemished years were recorded before the turn of the century. An all-time defensive record which still stands today is Yale ' s feat of going through more than thirty games in the early 1890 ' s without being scored upon. Walter Camp ' s Contributions i: ale ' s list of AU-American players is probably longer than that of any other imiversity in America. Walter Camp, 1880, the father of football, himself a player and later Yale ' s hrst coach, nistituted AU-American selec- 1889 team, and won the honor in the following two years as weW. Frank Hin- key, from 1891 to 1894, and F. Gordon Brown, from 1897 to 1900, were the only Yale men ever to receive the honor in four conseciui e years. Later-day AU- Americans include Albie Booth, Clint Frank, Larry Kelley, and, in 1945, Paul Walker. The Changing Game EFORE 1881, there was no limit to the ntnnber of downs allowed the Walter Camp jr. scoring against Brown in 1913 tions in 1889, and continued to choose these ideal teams tmtil his death in 1925. Camp also revised the rtde book for four decades, and invented the ' tackle back formation, forerunner of the single-wingback formation. Since 1889, Yale has produced seventy-one Ail-Americans, over fifty of them appearing before World War I. Amos Alonzo Stagg, 1889, on the first AU-American team, still coaches today at Susquehanna College. William Pudge HeffeUinger was also on the team with the ball, and no set ntimber of yards to be gained. The ball changed hands often by frequent punting and attempted goals from the field. Players tried drop-kicks, usually while on the rtin, whenever they saw they would be tackled within field goal scoring dis- tance. But in 1881, Princeton decided not to kick btit to hold the ball indefinitely, its purpose being to force the game to end in a stalemate, which it did. Conse- (juently, in 1882, the rules committee The old Gymnasium of 1859 (above) served as a dining hall after 1892 until 1902, when it became the Psychol- ogy and A nthropology Building (Herrick Hall); the Gymna- sium of 1892-1932 (right) was situated on Elm Street be- tween High and York Streets; construction on the Payne Whit- ney Gymnasium went on in 1930 (below) These trophies of i| 188J indicate Yale ' s t growing athletic awareness in the last century s ' ? d ! i : iAia-3 ; :i0 if ;;, i decreed: If in four consecutive . . . do vns a team shall not have advanced the ball five yards nor lost ten yards they shall surrender the ball to their oppo- nents in the spot of the last down. After 1880, all teams were composed of eleven men. Battle Formations (jT WY. wEDGii, first used by Princeton (some say Williams) in 1884, be- came the standard opening play, as the kick-oft is today. In 1892, Harvard per- fected the Hying wedge, in which the offensive team in two sections converged just in front of the ball carrier and car- ried him forward on the strength of their tremendous momentiun. The play, foiuid to endanger life and limb, was outlawed several years later. Amos Alonzo Stagg, in the 1890 ' s, in- troduced a formation at Springfield which placed the ends slightly back of the line. Princeton adopted the forma- tion a few years later, the forerunner of r K tj ;- l The 1876 football team (above). Walter Camp is in the back row, third from left the double-wingback formation. George Woodruff, Yale guard of the 1890 ' s, invented the formation called guards back while coaching at Penn- sylvania. Its purpose was to provide the equivalent of six men in the backfield. A Spectator Sport y ANY other intricacies were added to the game in the following years, but with the exception of the forward pass, written into the rule book in 1906, the basic fundamentals of the first three decades of football can still be seen. In 1913, Yale hired its first paid coach, Howard H. Jones. Before that time, graduates of Yale, advised by Camp, had coached the team. It was Yale that constructed the first football stadium capable of seating a modern football crowd. Completed in 1914, Yale Bowl, one of the top fields in the country, seats just under 75,000. Though no longer one of the peren- nial powerhouses of American football, Yale can boast of having won three- quarters of its games throughout its illustrious football history. 1891 New Haven Yale 28 Wesleyan Brooklyn Yale 26 Crescent A.C.

The Yale Navy was established in 1851, and it served as a uniting organ- ization for the oarsmen of those days. Class races, particularly between jimiors and seniors, were held, and both 4-oared and 6-oared boats were used more com- monly than the 8-oared shell of today. Individual classes owned their own shells, and competition between them was fierce. The Yale launch at New London in 1890 The 1879, 6-oared crew Later, two boating clubs, Glyuna and Varuna, arose.

Harvard usually won at first— so often, in fact, that a sarcastic Lit writer suggested the following rules to be adhered to by the Elis: No man shall be chosen for the rac- ing crew who does not weigh over two hundred and fifty pounds and is not able to hold two poimds at arm ' s length for the space of five seconds. The crew shall be required to diet Indoor practice, about 1900 themselves on ra v beef and oat meal, for six weeks before the race. The stroke of the oars must be at the rate of twenty a second, and must take a sweep of six inches. The crew of the Yale boat must be allowed to look at the prize before it is a varded to Harvard. An Improved Style N 1872, Robert J. Cook, 76, visited England. What he brought back from that country vas a new conception of rowing which revolutionized the sport in America. The crew that he led in Springfield in 1873 was the laughing stock of the river until it won the race. Cook ' s new style consisted of slo v s veep strokes as opposed to the jerky, s vift strokes vhich had been in practice before. For twenty years. Cook coached the Yale crew with enviable results. New London and Gales Ferry were established as the site of Yale-Harvard dual meets in 1878. At first, the races were rowed after the school year had ended because the Administration frowned on the sport, but later the late- spring date came to be traditional. Baseball EFORE the middle 1860 ' s, some base- ball had been played at Yale, but not until that time did organized inter- collegiate competition begin. A difference of opinion exists as lo the date of Yale ' s first official game, but the autumn of 1865, Avhen the Blue played a team from Wesleyan called .Agallion, was probably when New A gymnastic group, about 1875 165 Ydlf Field, Yale ' s fust baseball stand, at the end of the last century The baseball team of 1874 Haven received its first taste of baseball. Yale won that first game, 39-13, and two others in that same year. Not until 18(W did Yale meet Harvard and Princeton. One Bounce is ' Out ' ( 7 ' OR THE FIRST two dccadcs or so of baseball, scoring was two or three times as high as it is today, and scores of 52-10, 24-21, and the like were not uncommon. Rules of the game were also strikingly different. Fly balls caught on one bounce put the batter out, and fielders and the catcher, too, rarely risked a fly catch if it were possible to evade it. Curve-ball pitching was not encoun- tered by Yale for ten years after the first game, bats were thicker, and the ball quite elastic. Strikes were called by the innpire only when he thought a batter was spending too much time at the plate. All these factors contributed to the high scoring mentioned above, in addition to the fact that fielding was definitely sec- ondary to hitting. Yale Field was completed in 1882, finally giving the university an official field on which to play. Undefeated teams were produced in 1865, 1867, 1917, and 1918, but in none of these seasons did Yale play more than eight games. Three Major Sports THER ATHLETICS arose at Yale at the end of the nineteenth century or during the present one. But it was foot- ball, crew, and baseball which first at- tracted Yale men and the nation in the field of sports, and those three sports still retain the importance attributed to them years ago. J.

II NDERRAl ED bv most of the experts. Coach Herman Hickman ' s 1950 football team compiled a laudable record of six wins and three losses. Built around a small nucleus of eteran campaigners plus a large contingent of talented sophomores, the team operated from regular and split-T formations and later Iroiii a sliort-pimt passing alignment. Alter bungling through a practice scrim- mage with Sijringricld. the Bulldogs collected themselves and, using a di ersifted and imag- inati e attack, routed the University of Con- necticut, 25-0, in the opener. Stu Tisdale guided the team at a touchdown-per-period pace, going over once himself and sending Ed Senay for two and Bob Spears for the other. The Snake was the day ' s hero, gaining 171 vards in thirteen attempts and scoring on breath-taking rims of 65 and 36 yards. The Blue tlefense encoimtcrcd little difficuli with i Rxnii r!h ' r [nr llic l i sU.I pl.r Alt Valpey ' s single-wing, and out-cliarged the Huskie primary during most of the game. In a beautifully coordinated display of awe some scoring power, the Elis walked all over Brown, 36-12. Line play was magnificeni as huge holes were forced open. Yale struck both on the ground and through the air; in the latter department, Tisdale and Ryan staired, the blond .senior setting up a pair of touch- downs and his competent undeistudy pitching to Quackenbush for the last score. In ground play, two scores were credited to Senay, and .Spears ' s up-the-iTiiddle thrusts hurt the Biuins badly as he also notched two touchdowns. In the defensive secondary, his pulverizing tackles quelled enemy attacks with clock- like regularity. Sophomore kicking specialist Johnny Bush also got in the act with three conversions and a .seventeen-yard field goal. Effectively throttling Fordham ' s Dick Do- heny, one of the leading aerial artists in the country, the Elis played good ball, posting a 21-14 decision over the Rams. The highlight i the game was |im R an ' s thrilling I? ar i kickoff runback in the second quarter, one of the finest bits of running seen all year. Though outgained both on the ground and through the air, the Bulldog defensive pl atoon again showed its strength, always stopping the Rams just outside of the danger zone. Tis- ilale ' s passing eclipsed that of the heralded Doheny, who was rushed at all times and often found himself buried under the ' alc line. The Blue cjuarterback received fine pro- tection, completing five out of se en passes in the first half and pitching to Ed VVoodsum for the initial score. Spears plunged for the third touchdown and Bush kicked all three place- ments. Sophomore Brock Martin, filling in for the injured Senay, pro ed to be one of the hardest runirers on the field, breaking away for several long gains. This defeat by Vale was the only one suffered by the Rams all season.

Rain, mud, and cold weather cut down Ijotli the gate and the Bidldogs ' effectiveness as the dropjjed their second of the year, 7-0, lo Dartmoutli. At the outset it looked as if tlte Blue were headed for an easy afternoon, chi ing from their 27 to the Green 48 before a penalty forced them to kick. At that point Dartmouth took possession, blasting through the line to the 19, where a Clayton pass sur- prised the Elis, being completed to the four. Tyler took it from there, and the Green had their margin of victory. A rock-ribbed de- fense characterized Daitmouth play, for they lield the Bulldogs well, allowing only about a hundred yards rushing and no pass comple- tions. The one bright spot of the day was the revelation of the punting ability of Al Peters. The big .senior averaged 41 yards per kick, surprising on a wet day, and far better than any other Eli had been able to do. Choosing a key moment, two days before the Princeton imbroglio, to express confidence in their massive coach, the Yale Athletic Asmi elation, with Bob Hall presiding, tendered ;i ten-year contract to Herman Hickman. It was a completely unprecedented move in Yale athletic history, and a fitting trust to one of the most popular and capable coaches ever installed at Y ' ale. Princeton pro ed simply too strong, win- ning by a 47-12 margin. Ranked eighth in the country, their single-wing offense was un- stoppable, their defense impenetrable. With- out doubt Yale was up for the game, but they coidd make only a few yards rushing, and their only effective weapon was Stu Tisdale ' s passing from the newly used short-punt forma- tion.

As the score indicates, two tallies were not nearU enough, though the Blue fought to the end, playing against Caldwell ' s first-string dining almost the entire game, while Yale ' s spirit and never-say-die combativeness kept the 60,000 fans cheering wildly. A 73-yard march, sparked by Tisdale ' s five consecutive comple- tions, culminating in a score, put Yale back in the game momentarily, but the Tigers roared back five minutes later to definitely crush any Blue aspirations. Undisputed Prince- ton star was Dick Kazmaier, who passed for three touchdowns and ran for another. With hurricane winds making it necessar) for the officials to hold the ball clown between plays, Yale defeated Harvard, 14-6, in an im- inspiring game. All the scoring took plate in the fourth cjuarter, with Senay and Spears going ovei for the Blue, and Warden for the Crimson. The tempest hampered Harxard ' s Carroll l.owenstein ' s passing, the Cantabs sticking close to the ground during the first half. .After the intermission, and a touchdown behind, the little junior hinled a pass into the teeth of the gale. Dave Varden gathered it in over his shoulder and scampered down the sidelines for Harvard ' s only score. Ground pla s dominated the Yale strategy, Spears averaging five yards per shot in thirty carries and Senay enjoying his best day in weeks, breaking away many times for dazzling runs and setting up ' ale ' s first coimter on a 33-yard beauty. Stais in their own right were few. Cajjtain- elect Bob Spears was a terror on defense and a consistent ground gainer. Shifty Ed Senay led the team in net yardage gained, finishing sexenth in the Eastern circuit. Walt Clemens, along with Joe Finnegan and Captain Brad Quackenbush, bulwarked the line for almost all of every game. Other players blended into a pattern of good football, which is the prime recjuisite for a winning season.

HOCKEY o, ' UTSCORING 1950 ' s sextet by a wide margin, the hockey team had an excellent sea- son, sporting a record of fifteen wins, two losses, and one tie. Murray Murdoch ' s charges finished second in the Pentagonal League and won the Big Three Championship. The Elis gave a good account of themselves in the opener, defeating the New York Ath- letic Club, 10-3, at Rye. Shay countered three times, and Pat Howe and Danny Lufkin twice. The return game proved to be a different story, however, as the . C put up torrid re- sistance and extended the Elis considerably before succumbing, 6-5. Yale ' s awesome scor- ing power then made itself felt in a 13-0 massacre of RPI. MacMillan came through with three goals, for the hat trick, and almost everyone else got into the act. Northeastern was the next to come a crop- (jer, Larry Noble ' s three goals leading the way to a 5-2 decision. The Alumni provided little competition as Yale pounded out a 16-2 vic- tory. McNamara and Lufkin each netted two, and Coach Murdoch cleared the bench earlv. The Eli win streak was stopped at five, a Pentagonal Champion Brown team beating them, 4-1. Pete Cruikshank stopped 38 shots, but the Bruins were sharper and faster, their attack coordinating beautifidly. Defenseman Bob Jones suppliecf the lone tally. At Han- over, the Bulldogs again had their troubles, and were held by Dartmouth to a 2-2 dead- lock. A combination of poor ice and sloppy refereeing made the difference. Yale could never get started, and frittered away a midti- tude of scoring chances. The upset of the year came at the expense of nationally ranked Boston University. An hysterical Arena crowd watched Yale match BU goal for goal. Again Cruikshank was a hero, kicking out 38 shots. Noble, Brown, Kittredge, McNamara, and Shay countered for Yale. The Bulldog defense was at its strongest, and the lines back-checked and attacked with superhuman persistence. Army and Colgate proved to be no competi- tion; the Black Knights were toppled, 8-1, and the Red Raiders folded. 13-0, as Mac- Back Row— Hilton (manager), Rigley (trainer).

No difficultv was incurred with Princeton, who ol)ligingly went down, 9-1, Dartmouth also w;is himibled by an extraordinary 12-2 count. At Boston, Yale met a fiery Harvard sextet which seemingly coidd do no wrong. Forcing at all tinres, they brought about the only shiuout defeat of the season, o erpower- ing the Blue, 4-0, and killing any NCAA possibilities. .American International C(jllege Avas turned back, 11-3, and in the season ' s last game, Har- ard was stepped on by a 5-1 count.

Coach Howard Hobson ' s 1950 basket- ball team started painfully, but picked up speed in mid-season and flashed through their last games in precise and seasoned style. Captained by Eddie McHugh, the roster in- cluded but one senior, and the regidars. almost entirely sophomores, deserved much credit, for they learned their lessons quickly and woimd up with an ever-improving club. The season ' s record was 14 wins and 13 losses, and the team was definitely an upset maker, rocking several highly ranked clubs when they least expected it. The opener with the New York Athletic Club proved that Yale was not particularly sharp, but the Blue still had enough to post a 66-52 victory. Amherst followed and was taken into camp, 77-54. Big guns for the Elis were John Weber and Dave Sears, who netted 20 and 25 points, respectively. Rutgers helped Yale to continue their ic- tory skein by going down, 70-40, but at this point the Blue mastery stopped short. Playing slipshod ball, Yale dropped a 52-47 decision to a cold Pennsylvania quintet. Next, Con- necticiu broke Yale ' s five-year supremacy in a wild 71-65 duel. Sears, with 25 points, and McHugh, with 17 spelled the difference be- tween complete annihilation and the rel- ative closeness which resulted. The holi day trip was far from a mern ' one, Yale winning only one out of five. Cornell proved the master at Ithaca, 62-45, and NYU ]5ummelled the Elis in the Garden, 82-64.

High-scoring Eddie McHugh led the ittors with 21 points.

Changeable defenses, freezes, and the Blue sharpshooting bewil- dered the fa ored Tigers, and although Princeton led for a while. Yale ' s speed and strategy soon deflated them. A 64-62 overtime loss to Fordhaiu did not cool off the Elis, and rebounding better than ever, they took Army ' s measure, 67-52. The Black Knights were never in the lead, as Yale was sharp and acciuate, and in constant con- trol of the backboards. Once again Yale lived up to their statistical record as the fouling- est team in .America, but the Cadets ga e up their share, ami the Bidldogs were ne er really in trouble. Undefeated Columbia easily made its power felt by a score of 79-49, but the Blue bounced back to trip BC, 64-59, in a rough, disorgan- ized game. Weber was high man with 19 points; Sears, McHugh, and Harding also hit for double figures. Next, Princeton avenged an earlier defeat by a 57-41 victory. Rolling up the largest point total of the vear. Yale submerged Trinity, 86-75. Jerry Labriola ' s return to a starting berth proved a success, since he led the scoring with 21 points. Obliging Dartmouth again was mea- sured, this time by a 62-49 margin. In over- time, Harvard clicked for six points to Yale ' s two. defeating them, 59-55. Following this. Vale registered their biggest upset of the year, winding up its home season in a blaze of glory with a decisive 69-56 victory over nation- ally-ranked Holy Cross. Stars were Labriola, high scorer with 27 points (the season ' s larg- est total), and McHugh, who contributed 18 points and shone defensively. The season closed on a winning note, Harvard going down, 72-70, in a torrid match. Bark roir—Hobion (coach }■ Wniicii.

Coach Johnny Skillman entered seven of his racquetmen in the New York University Club Invitation Tournament over Christmas, and sophomore Blair Minphy gained the finals, only to be defeated by Harvard ' s Henry Foster. Following the holidays, the team swamped Amherst at home, 8-1. The Bulldogs next invaded Annapolis and downed the Middies in a hard-fought match, 6-3. The return of Captain Bill Lynch failed to be quite enough for victory, as a strong team from Williams eked out a 5-4 win. Blair Murphy, playing in the number-one position, came through vic- toriousl), as did Bill Gahagan at six, Bob Sauers at seven, and Sandy Ewing at nine. Successive shutout wins over Fordham, 7-0, and Penn, 9-0, showed Yale power. Amiy was edged in a surprise 5-4 upset; Eli winners were Murphy, Lynch, Wood, Smith, and Gahagan. Wesleyan followed and was overwhelmed, 8-1. .Although three of the top four men met defeat, the Elis ' over-all strength made itself felt in a 6-3 victory over Princeton. Neither Dartmouth nor Trinity offered much competi- tion, 8-1 and 9-0 wins being registered over them. Har ard ' s luidefeated squash team virtuallv clinched the National Intercollegiate Championship when it downed visiting Yale, 7-2, in the last meet of the season.

Posting a record of six wins and five losses, the swordsmen boasted one of the best sabre teams in New England In the opener, Columijia proved too strong, and defeated Yale in a close contest. l. )-12. Navy handed Vale their second defeat, 10-11. Sabremen Karl Bakke and Hobie Edmonds took all three of their encounters, but the foil and epee teams could not hold the lead. The first win of the season came at the ex- pense of Rutgers, in a tense 14-13 duel. Joe Bodner and Tom Solan accounted for two points in the foils, and Henrv C.rav led the victorious epee team with three ictorics, while Captain Knobloih, KdiiioiuK, and Bakke swept the last three bonis. Against . rmy, both the sabre and foil teams lost close decisions, but sparked by Gray, with three wins, and Walzak, with two, the epee division pulled the match out of the fire, the final score being 14-13. Vale swarmed over Connecticut. 20-7. but I ' cnn rcxcrsed the situation, eking out a 14-13 win. In a tin tailed match, a 13-9 victory was registered over the Saltus Club, and CCNV followed their example by bowing, 17-10. faced by Solan with three wins, the swords- men downed Princeton, 15-12. in a highly exciting match.

A 30-2 win over Williams was sparked by amazing 13 and 11 goal totals by Baldwin and Hannah. George- town and Cornell fell by 23-3 and 12-9 scores, but an exhibition game with the alumni de- eloped into a 13-9 loss for the Blues. The first official loss of the year came against Princeton. 17-7, but Yale, paced by Jackson ' s five tallies, returned to winning ways, edging the Pittsfield Polo Club, 12-10. In the rematch, Princeton knocked Yale from the intercol- legate semi-finals in a 10-7 battle. Yale trounced Harvard 12-3, scoring honors going to Hannah, who had five tallies.

Captained by Nate Tufts, the team was strong in all four e ents. Although still not subsidized by the Vale Athletic Association, they practiced on - ' their own every weekend whenever snow conditions made it possible. In the Eastern Division Championships, held at Lyndonville, Vemiont, Yale finished a creditable second behind W illiams. Nate Tufts was high scorer, placing second in the jimip, third in the slalom, fourth in the cross- country-jump combined and the downhill- slalom combined. Frank Smith was the next high scorer, gaining a sixth in the cross- country-jump and eighth in the slalom.

Sergeant Wilde SPRING SPORTS-1950 BASEBALL IhE 1950 BASEBALL SEASON ■ s one ol contrasts, from major-league play to the most uncertain oi sandlot baseball. Ethan Allen ' s team was hot and cold, but when hot they were brilliant. So they looked on the south- ern trip, through the first half of the season, and in the first Princeton and Har ard games. By and large, the campaign was successful, the Elis finishing with a 14-13 record, not at all a true indication of their prowess. Cap- tain Dick Tettelbach led the hitters, and Johnny Little was the mainstay of the mound staff; defensively, Art Dowd was a standout at third base. Relief pitchers Sid Rosner and submarine artist Benny Klimczak turned in some very creditable work, and outfielders Snake Senay and Dick Cook came up with some timely hits and excellent fielding. Grimi- ney to Smith to Kreutzer functioned smoothly; Paul Riiss ' s backstopping was superlative, and his fine arm cut down many an unwary runner. Under the aegis of Coach Ethan Allen and Joe Rossomondo. the Blue started the south- ern trip with an auspicious 8-5 victory o e Duke. Paul Lambert blasted a 450-foot home run over the centerfield wall, but the e entual winning runs were scored only after consecu- ti e doubles b Ravnor and Tettelbach. The Johnny I.illlc cnn ' ing otic into mitt uf aitclirr I ' linl Rnss ns ]yilli,inn man mi ' sr . and nmjtiyt ' admirts J Blue dropped the second game of the series in a closely contested 4-2 decision. North Carolina proved to be excellent competition as a good crowd watched the Tarheels go down by 6-5 and 6-4 coimts. The Elis lost a close one to Richmond, 2-1, but, in a •ide- open game, pasted Fort Meade, 13-3. Inspired bv a 4-2 record over tough south- ern competition, the Bulldogs returned to post a 5-2 victory over Wesleyan, Lou Kreut- zer poling a tremendous home run. Against Fordham and highly touted Tom Casagrande, a close game resulted in a 4-3 loss, although the Rams foiurd John Little ' s pitching c|uite a mystery. Little also contributed two hit s to his cause, and drove in a run. Yale walked all over Springfield by a 14-5 count, and Dick Beresford ' s curve ball com- pletely bewildered Amherst as he racked up a 4-0 shutout, while Dick Cook smacked a two-run triple to account for most of the scor- ing. A real example of Yale power occurred in the Providence game, which resulted in a 14-4 victory for the Elis. Among the multi- tude of extra-base hits was Lambert ' s homer, his second of the year. A possible turning-point in the season was that unfortunate week in which a 6-2 loss to Colby, coupled with a subsequent 3-0 defeat by a powerful Holy Cross outfit, obviated any chance of Yale entering the district champion- ships. The Elis came back strongK the lollow- ing week, howe er. to edge Navy, 3-2. Little again was baffling on the mound, and behind him Gormley and Smith starred in the hitting department. The Columbia game followed, and they were taken into camp by the same score, Grumney getting the decisive blow. UConn pulled out a close one, 5-4, but had it not been for the sterling defensive play of Tettelbach, the score would have been much higher. In the next contest, the Elis blanked Dartmouth, 3-0, with Little and Gormley starring again. Losses of 13-7 and 8-2 to Army and Penn, respectively, pointed up a few de- fensive lapses, but what hampered the Blue most was the injury to Paul Russ in the earh innings of the Army game. The local semi-pro pride, the West Haven Sailors, pro ed too strong for the Blue, slash- ing out a 7-2 victory in a well-played game. Two weeks later, under the lights in Exhibi- tion Stadium, they repeated the ignomin in a ragged 10-1 decision. Poiirting for the Big Three Championship, Yale clowned Princeton, 2-1, in one of the best games of the year. A late-inning double by first-baseman Lou Kreutzer drove in the win- ning tally and gave Little a well-desened ictory, besting the Tiger ace, Rav Chirurgi. Cornell won a close one, 4-2, and, with a large Alinnni Dav crowd looking on in Tigertown, iiilii Paid Lambert stands and watches while teammate steals home during an early-season game Xm.

Against Harvard, surprise starter Bob Breckinridge turned in superlative pitching, and, backed up by an errorless defense, the left-hander eked out an exciting 2-1 victory. ■Such was not the case in the return match, however, as the Yale defense fell to pieces and the team absorbed a 17-3 shellacking. Little was knocked out of the box in the second inning without a ball being hit through the infield, and the parade of relief hurlers that followed accomplished no more, the onh bright light being an efTecti e thiee-inning clean-up bv sophomore Steve Moulton. Har ard ' s ha Godin, a starter for the Grim son for three years, was particularh sharp against the Blue. More than anything else, a lack of hitting hurt the 1950 nine, for their pitching was ex- ceedingly strong, and their fielding was more than adecjuate. Gaptain Tettelbach led in the hitting department with a respectable batting average, but most of the other players fell far below the optimistic expectations of Goach Allen and followers of the Eli nine. Of course, the constant shifting of players to unfamiliar positions coupled with the loss of an out- standing prospect, Eddie McHugh. contrii)- uted to the red side of the season ' s ledger. Despite the mediocre campaign, Yale baseball followers will miss such stellar performers as Tettelbach, Lambert, and Smith.

The exception proved to be the detriment to these ros) hopes, for throughout the fall training ses- sion, during the winter practice in the tanks, and in the early spring. Coach Walz at- tempted, with little success, to put together a smooth-rowing, imified boat, behind a cap- able, experienced stroke. Against Navy, in the initial race of the campaign, Walz used Don Cadle in the troublesome eight slot. The enigma appeared to be solved, for the Elis w ' on by open water over the two-mile distance in the time of 10:03, with the Middies clocked at 10:10. On the following Saturday, the Blackwell Cup Regatta, an occasion better remembered as Deibv Dav. was held with Penn and Colinn- bia. In the week before the race, howe er, Diik Russell, the regular number six oarsman. - • =- ,;ii M .4 PUl 3 contracted mononucleosis, which kept him from rowing for the remainder of the season. Meanwhile, Penn. beaten by the Elis at Pahn Beach, had improved sufficiently to finish a length ahead of the Blue. The times: Pcnn, 10:04.6; Yale, 10:10; Columbia, 10:25. Following this defeat, Walz determined to change the boatings of his varsity and JV ' s. The next week was one of extensive experi- mentation and practice, the object being to find a stroke with a good rhythm as well as a fast pull-through. The result of numerous trials was the succession of Greg Gates to the position of varsity stroke, with Don Jomo stroking the JV boat. The Eastern Association of Rowing Col- leges Regatta, known as the Eastern Sprints, was the testing groiuid for the new boatings. Here twelve shells raced under extremely adverse conditions of wind and course. Vale was seeded fourth, with Harvard favo red to win, but upset victor MIT finished strong, followed b the Can tabs. Yale was a poor sixth. The complete order of finish on the 2000-meter course was: MIT, Harvard, Prince- ton, Penn, Syracuse, Yale, Columbia, Navy, Coincll. ' isconsin, Bosk)n University, and Ruigfis.

All the crews left the stake boats with approximately a 33 beat. At first the Blue sprinted to the fore, but, at the half-mile mark, Cornell raised their stroke to a 36. pidl- ing into the lead.

On Thursday, June 22, the combination race was held, boats inchided being composed of substitutes from the varsity, JV, and fresh- man crews. Haivard ' s depth prevailed, and the Crimson triumphed by an unconsoling five-length margin. The freshman encounter began Saturday ' s big regatta. Off to a fast start, the yearlings led at the mid-course position. In the home- stretch, the Cantabs pulled ahead and then went on to win by a length of open water. The JV crew, stroked by Don Cadle. shared a similar fate a half-hour later, the Crimson finishing barely one Icngtli in the lead of the fighting Elis. As the shades of night approached, the long- awaited varsity grind started. Pulling away from the crowd-filled shore, the Eli oarsmen knew that in this avenging Cantab eight they would meet one of the sternest tests of their mettle. At the starting line, Har ard, employ- ing a low 28 beat, jiunped into an early lead o er the 31-beat Elis. . t the half-mile marker, the Crimson had a one-length lead; at the half-way point, they led by a seemingly com- fortable two-length bidge. . s the rival shells |)assed the three-mile standard, the Johnnies boasted an awesome two-and-one-halflength uuugiii. It was here that Greg Gates, seeing iluu it was now do or die, took the stroke u]) lo a killing 56. though a full mile was yet remaining. The Blue had reduced Hanard ' s lead to less than one-half length, with only a (}uarter-mile left, in a courageous climax to their efforts. But the final times were: Har- vard, 21:36.4; Yale, 21:37.2, a margin of less ilian ten feet. THE 150; H, -ONORED b a trip to Englaiul aiul an invitation to compete in the Royal Henley Regatta, Coach Roy Rom ' s 1950 lightweight tiew turned in a record ot no losses and only one tie in intercollegiate competition, coupled with two losses to Kent School, one in this country and another in England. The season began with a dual race with the Kent oarsmen on the Housatonic. Kent ' s superb crew, which outweighed the 150 ' s by as much as 13 pounds per man, pro ed too pojverful and, in a record-breaking eliort, covered the course in 4:52, two seconds ahead ot the Blue. In the next encounter, the Blackwell Cup Regatta on Derby Day, Penn and Columbia lell to the smooth power of Captain Wally Sarran Co., with all of Yale ' s lightweight crews winning handily on the familiar course. The following week the 150 ' s met MIT, and triumphed by a full five lengths. In the Goldthwaite Cup Regatta, with Yale, Harvard, and Princeton competing, the vars- it and heshman lightweight crews emerged on top. In the |V race, a dead heat, seldom encountered in rowing, occurred between ale and Hanard. The E.ARC Regatta was held one week later on the Charles River in Boston, with Yale. Cornell, Penn, Harvard, Princeton, and MO competing and finishing in that order. Penn jumped to an early lead, but the Eli bantams came through to win in 6:52, twelve feet in front of Cornell. .Alter the races the entire scjuad presented Coach Rom with a broom, emblematic of a clean sweep. Cox Pat Noonan drove his charges through an extensi e two-week practice in New Lon- don befoie the lightweight oarsmen sailed for England. . t Henle they won their first two heats against English crews, but fell before Kent in the semifinals, as the prepsters went on to win the regatta.

Exhibiting an admirable record of twelve wins, marred by only a single defeat, the Elis gained undisputed possession of the New Eng- land intercollegiate championship and were recognized as one of the nation ' s top teams. Furthermore, they were .selected by the Eng- lish Lacrosse Union to tour England during the summer to play university, county, and all-star teams, for all ol which much credit is due to Coach Harkness. Inuring spring recess, the stickmen journ- eyed north for extensive practice and game experience. A nuinber of scrimmages with RPI aided as a general unifier and condi- tioner, and the first game of the season, with Union College, showed promise for Captain Lovejoy ' s team, as they garnered a 17-5 vic- tory. Penn was expected to be tough, but ihev. too, ]3ro ed absolutely no competition, as the Blue ' s sioiing pinuh took them iiuo camp, 22-0. In the last of the vacation con- tests, Adelphi was vanquished, 13-3. Excep- tional defensive play, as well as teamwork between the attackmen and midfieldmen, characterized this early period. Regular-season play found the Blue con- fident and experienced, definitely pointing loi the big games which woidd indicate their merit. Playing at Boston in what amounted to a double-header, Yale met Tufts and Mil on Friday and Saturday of the same weekend. Perhaps this type of scheduling was especially wise, for not only was Tufts defeated, 1-1-4. but MIT also went down to its most ignomin- ious defeat in years by a 25-0 count. Nearly e eryone in the Yale line-up scored. .Springfield gave the Elis a short struggle i)elore finally succumbing, 10-5, but the next opponent, Williams, proved to be the tough- est (ompetition to that date.

The long-awaited Navy game was the real test for the high-flying Blue, and it found the stickmen at their peak form in defense, tim- ing, and play-making. With Treadwell block- ing impossible shots, the defensive alignment of Lovejoy, Yellott, and Sayre turned back the constant Middle onslaught. The midfielders and attackmen coordinated beautifully, and the Elis found that they could do no wrong. Navy fought with the gameness and ability of her ever-powerful team, but discovered no escape from the fiery Blue attack. The final score was 5-1 in by far the best game of the season, riie Blues had little difficult) in rolling over Rutgers, 10-3, and, in the following meet- ing, took great pleasine in avenging them- selves for past indignities suffered at the hands of the Green of Dartmouth, With midfielders Warner, Timberman, and Folan, and attack- men Reeve, Smith, and Casey contributing fine play, they hiunbled the Big Green, il-7, in a hard-loiight game. Possessing an eleven-game vinning streak, Yale finally was forced to swallow the bitter pill of defeat, finding Princeton simply too strong for them. In a ragged, bruising struggle, the Tigers emerged on top, 9-5, in a contest that certainly was no disgrace for the Blue. Against Harvard, the Blue collapsed, play- ing not even a semblance of the lacrosse it had shown against Princeton the week before. Enough finesse was retained, however, to trip the Cantabs by three goals, 12-9. Over the sinnmer, Yale enjoyed a very successfid tour. Traveling throughout Eng- land, the Elis played Oxford, Cambridge, and divers English all-star groups, posting a credit- able record of nine wins and no losses while drawing good crowds all the way. Standouts in both national and international play weie Kin Yellot, elected AU-American, Larry Sayre, and Captain Win Lovejoy, comprising one of the ijest defenses in the country.

After a highly successful indoor season in which the onlv disapf ointment was a defeat in the IC4A ' s, the first outdoor meet was held April 8 in the Southern Relays at Birming- ham, Alabama. Although not participating as a team, the Elis still managed to amass more points than anv of the other entrants, including such teams as Oklahoma A M and Illinois.

Al- though a combination of bad breaks knocked them out of competition for Eastern Inter- collegiate honors, the linksmen were strong enough to earn the Big Three title, and were contenders for sectional honors until upset by Navy. Led by Captain Paul liridston and coatheil by Joe Sullivan. Yale effortlessly overcame Wesleyan by a 6-1 count in the first meeting of the ear. Little .Siena College became the next victim, 7-0. and the Uni ersities of ' ir- ginia and Massachusetts followed in the shut- out trend by scores of 5-0 and 7-0. The Huskies of UConn managed to eke out one win in seven matches, but failed to offer competition to the Elis; with this victory, the Blue an- nexed the unofficial state championship. In the initial half of the Eastern Intercol- legiate Championship competition, the Elis drew Princeton in the first round, and de- feated them, 5-2, in the closest match to that date. Herb Emanuelson was forced to go to the twentieth, and Line Roden to the twenty- second hole, before they were able to edge out their opponents. During this meeting, held in Salem, Massachusetts, Bridston fc Co. easily brought Columbia to heel by a 6-1 score, and clinched Big Three honors by humbling Harvard. 5-2. The following week the Intercollegiates vere continued at Princeton. Yale meeting Na y. Excellent ])lay was exhibited by the Blue, but the skilfull Middies were not to be denied, and a 5-2 score spelled the first Yale loss of the year. Even in defeat, Walt Robbins and Stu Brown played superlative golf, both extending their opponents before being re- tired in an extra-hole match. In the other, anticlimactic match of the weekend, the Blue encoimtered Cornell, besting them, 5-2, with comparative ease. On a weekday, with labs and other com- mitments weakening the team, a surprisingly well-balanced Holy Cross aggregation nosed out the Blue, 4-3. in a close contest.

T Piihlic itioiis of llif I ' lisl Christmas trip of the 1890 Glee Club ACTIVITIES OF YESTERDAY MONG PUBLICATIONS Still fuilCtion- ing today, Yale can boast of some exclusive firsts. The Yale Literary Magazine has the distinction of being the oldest college publication still in existence. Chi Delta Theta was first formed in 1821 as a secret society for juniors and seniors. The society encouraged liter- ary as distinguished from scholastic abil- ity, and included all the good writers of a particular class— usually about one- fourth the enrollment in all. Chi Delta died in the 1840 ' s, but in 1868 it Avas revived by the editors of the Lit, who decided to make it a society connected with the magazine. There were other less successful publi- cations which preceded the Lit. There was the Literary Cabinet of 1806, the Athanaeum of 1814, and several others, but only the Lit survived. The Banner Established in 1841, the Yale Ban- NER is the oldest college annual in America. It first came into being in pamphlet form in order to present the students ' side of one of their skirmishes with the local firemen, and its name is said to The 1908 Yale Record Board of Editors The pre-meds of 1901 have stemmed from the banner under which the students rallied. After print- ing four issues during the first year of publicat ion, and serving for a short time as a weekly paper, the Banner regularly appeared at the opening of every fall ses- sion until 1909. In 1909, the Banner merged with the Pot Pourri, a yearbook appearing later in the fall, founded in 1865. The Old Campus, containing freshman portraits and biographies, first appeared in 1939. The Banner originally consisted of lists of the various societies, and a cata- logue of the college. Eating clubs and miscellaneous organizations were added to the contents over the years, tmtil the Banner grew to its present size. Kappa Sigma Theta, a sophomore so- ciety, printed and distributed a bur- lesque of the Banner for about six years. Called the Yale Banger, its purpose was to eulogize Sigma Theta while poking fun at all other societies. The Chess Association of 1911 (jT ' HE Yale Courant was the uni- versity ' s first newspaper. It ap- peared in 1865, as a weekly. Two years later the name vas changed to the Col- lege Courant, and then back to the origi- nal again. Whatever its true title, the Courant, of a size equivalent to today ' s Nezes, experienced varied success until its death shortly before World War I. In 1878, the Yale Daily Neius, oldest college daily in America, was foiuided. Its original function was said to have been to serve as a vociferous weapon against Skull and Bones and senior soci- eties in general, in addition to tossing barbs at the factUty and students as well. Heelers, not so-named at first, were difficidt, if not impossible, to acquire, and the mark of a good News organizer was made if he could roimd up a fe v willing workers to riui errands for the Board. Within a decade, the publication began to gain the necessary prestige which it maintains today. The Yale Record was founded in 1872, and radio station WYBC did not come into being until 1941. Bright College Years C LASS HISTORIES Were first printed in the middle 1800 ' s. Before then, the exchange of senior portraits had come in- to practice. Daguerreotypes were first used, and not until 1850 were actual photographs taken. Individual senior histories were first compiled about ten years later, appear- ing in the Courant and the Ltl.

Class glee clubs existed almost as long, though no formal University glee club was formed until the early 1860 ' s. Uni- versity bands and orchestras were also active over a century ago. A Religious Past i JT ' he church of Christ in Yale Col- lege, established in 17r)7, remained Congregational until 1901, when it be- came non-sectarian. It was 1926 before voluntary daily chapel replaced com- pulsory chapel. The Christian Social Union, in 1880, was a forerunner of Dwight Hall, and less than ten years later Dwight Hall was dedicated. It is now situated in what was once the old library. The Thanksgiving Jubilee J J UCH of the dramatic activity of the college was sponsored by societies and fraternities tmtil aroinid the turn of this century. The university theatre was constructed only a (juarter of a century ago, while the Dramatic Association was formed as late as 1899. Diversions like the ' Thanksgiving Jubilee of the late 1800 ' s were engaged in by the luidergraduates. While the freshmen clamored at the main door of an a.ssembly hall, all those students in the know marched qtiietly through a rear door to their seats. The discovery by the freshmen that there Avere insufh- cient seats helped inspire a confused scene which included comic orations, one-act plays, and the like, presented amidst raticous audience reception. This Thanksgiving celebration had begim years before as a mild way to pass time for those student s who were tmable to get home for the holiday, and had later grown to grotesque proportions be- fore its eventual death, the chief cause of vhich Avas sheer weight of numbers.

Theirs was the memorable achieve- ment of a successful year. Staunch ruler of the red-lined cosmos, cool master of the Bartlettian phrase, sage con- noisseur of Sabine sauces— all this and much more contributed to the make-up of Chairman Garv Ellis. Very much a part of all the Board ' s experiences with the Neivs, very much a part of Yale, Ellis worked consistently beyond the demands of his job and earned unanimous respect both for the weight of his accomplish- ments and for himself as a person and a friend. Before the advent of the 1951 Board (in the days of another regime), one undergraduate was heard to tiun to his roommate and say, Gad! Where ' s the Neu ' s today? I won ' t know what to think! Such a man was doubtlessly not pleased with the editorial policy of 19, ' jO- 1951. Ellis, from the beginning, averted dogma (which he hated), and rather set forth opin- ions from which the reader was encouraged to draw his own conclusions. In this way he waged a year-long campaign against what he called Reader ' s Digest mediocrity of thought and action. And all the while, the business office was oozing localism born overtly in the depths of Pete Bancroft ' s savoir-faire. Efficiency charts, consinner polls, just about anything psvcho- logical sounding became the incentive signs for each money-making day. As office or- ganizer and master of the soulful chat, the business manager emerged on top of a very impressive verbal heap, but under it lav a ery sohent newspaper and the legacies vhicli stem from a smoothly-administered regime. Tracking personalities, a visitor would never lia e had much trouble finding ME Strong if he could find ' era first. Ellis having declined the rights of succession on the two-year tra- dition of maritally disposed chairmen, Strong added a very comely bit of Sweden to his usual accoutrement of typewriter and heelers ' whip. Between production of new head sheets and emotional prostrations over the hoped-foi effect of some revolutionary layout design, Denny proved himself professionally adept at that quick and accurate appraisal of news (and no news) which make a managing editor vortli his salt and the news cohmnis worth the sidjscription fee. Where the hell are the heelers? That caustic complaint will echo forever from the sports desk so determinedly haimted bv l.ee Griggs. As sports editor, Lee carried on the practices of his heeling days, pecking forth ream after ream of copy on every athletic diversion offered by Yale. As Benedict Kim- berley, the people ' s cherce, he was far from Ham nnd friends I ill. I ' olicy mictiug; Right: Hollywood, next itop loath to go out on a limb, or even to do a few last loops on a basketball hoop. And last, but not least, as the dedicated leader of the Cause of the Cough, he lea es behind him a host of rumpled shoulders and a memorable night on WYBC. Down among the supporting troops, one was sure to find Put Westerfiield and Harry Schumacher, both subverting their ambitions and affecting I don ' t really care till those days when Strong and Griggs went away. And if vou were willing to call the Neivs head quarters and could affcrd an occasional gram, you ' d probably be clued on the next job to be pidled by Pete Braestrup and his chain-smoking feature crew. What Ellis needs is organization! Such had been the campaign call of Bill Douglass who, as vice-chairman, soon became disillu- sioned by the weight of his appointed goal and lapsed into sad evenings with his colum- nists and cjuick-return business ventures in the outer world. Only one man was glad to see the deartli of heelers and. of com sc. he was r.cft: Prmtiral Srhiiol „ Joinualinii; Righl: Tin ' Memorial hoy The Chairman: he works . . . he j oys their careless confessor, Felt Gibbons, a worker with enough creativeness to put some life into what had heretofore been considered a fairly routine job. Especially in time ol crisis, that friendly genus known as senior editor emerged in its vital, though sometimes martyred, light. Tw ' o souls were lost in action. Bruce Mon- creiff bequeathed his extraordinary produc- tion ratio to the Army, and Freck Vreeland consigned his to woman, but only after badh upsetting the body of Vale offitialdom witli ;i Derby Day piece called StiaUhes. Fhen there were Bancroft ' s paranoic lieutenants, fake Swett, efler escent idol of the long- range set; Bill Witter, genial adman, swain to Cath , and pulsating nuistleman; and Hugh Patrick, inspired accountant, an is- land of intellect in a greenbacked sea.

Their lot was a bit ironic in view of the [act that it was they who gave the paper st le when the heeler-blighted journalists were feeling blue. This, in the names of only a few, was the year— a strange year, with a student body be- fuddled by the prospect of war, a faculty still faced by classes twice the normal size and still regarded by most as representatives of another world, and vagrant deans, plagued by recur- rent talk of honor in the classroom and in- flation in the budget. To the Neius, to Fran- cis, Miss Gorman, Miss Chernon, and to Ray Johnson goes the gratitude of the entire Board for those happ associations which made the time spent on the Xews both worth- while and enjoyable.

Allen found themselves surrounded by newly elected sophomores. Despite this rapid shift from eteran to neophyte, the writing traditions of the Lit were maintained. I he ear witnessed the rapid de clo|jment of the new writing talent of Rodney Dennis. Jim Copeland, Jack Mac. rthur, and Jim lommaney. Amongst this mass of new talent, the trained abilities of Ron Paidson and Cal 1 homas stood out. For the first time in many years, the maga- zine ran line cuts; here the fine hand of Den- ver Lindley and Paulson were often seen. The business board of the Lit was reborn luider the able management of Tom Con- nelly and Mouse Hodgkins. the aid of Burt Closson handling circulation and Sam Reicham chasing ads, die finances of the magazine were piu in a better state. Thus, inider the eye of Chairman John Hadlev, the Old Lady had a stable and pro- ducti e ear. . n effort was made to pidDlish all competent authors, many new names be- ing added to the roster of writers. In an attempt to more fairly represent the best of creatiAe writing on the Yale scene, the Board assembled the best short stories of English 77 and published them in May. Nineteen fiftv- 1951 marked another milestone on the long road of the Lit as she climbed step by step back to her old niche as one of the country ' s finest literai maua ines.

The Banner merely chuckled and, with a triumphant wave of the Rust wand, deftly reached up its other sleeve and produced Going Places, a guide to femi- nine pulchritude. Not content with this, Yale Banner Publications, more commonly called the I. G. Farben of Yale, climaxed the year with the publication of the most giandiose yearbook in the history of the Universit . This masterpiece, under the divine guidance of John Geismar, otherwise known as the Wag of Yale, commemorated the 230th anni- versary of Yale with a special historical section devoted to the development of Alma Mater over the vears. Yet none of this could have beeir accomplished without the superb manip- ulations of John Borden, Cotton King and photogenic business manager extraordinary. Tom Cooper, as bewildered by the Old Campus as many a newly-arrived freshman, managed to gather together enough pictures to equal the niunber of freshman names, and produced his masterpiece. And, though Larry Munson was the editor and each freshman received a copy gratis, where the Eli Book comes from and how it is put together re- mained a mystery. Far from a mystery, though, was the process by which the Tele- phone Directory came into being: George Craighead merely crossed out all non-Yalies in the New Haven telephone book, added a few embellishments, and there he had it. And what could be simpler than that, with the posible exception of Chick Schafer ' s pub- licity policv of no advertising is good advei- tising: or perhaps Chairman Paul Rust ' s system of running the Banner— let e ery man do what he wants and we ' ll see what we have at the end of the year.

In a more seiious vein, John Fiuth suc- ceeded in distributing innumerable Banners to countless undergraduates, and Tom Con- nelly produced a cjuestionnaire in ' 5- whicli cleverly avoided the question.

Trov Top left: Robby at the board; Top right: The latest neivs; Be- lou ' ; Wire uiork. and publicity 1 HE 1951 Board of WVBC were told that the station had only one tradition— continuous growth and impro enient— and they upheld it. The guiding spark ol enthusiasm was the vigorous leadership ot Chariman Dud Devine; ideas came from many sources, and in their execution the entire Board gained a sense of achievement. It was decided that the time had come when amateur broadcasting had to give way to a certain degree of professionalism. Emphasis had to be placed on entertaining the audience, not the studio announcers; the trend was towards efficiency and better work behind the scenes. A new organiza- tional set-up was worked out for closer coordination of the business aird continuitx departments, and cjualitx of commercials was improved. With these and other changes, the station got down to business. The program schedule, too, was im- proved, with the addition of new offerings like Sports Final, Simday Serenade. and Caribbean Crossroads. In view ol the increased demand for knowledge ot world events, additional newscasts were scheduled. Al Raubitschek brought forth Songs of the Troubadors, which later be- came Balladiana. with Syd Lamb ' s voice and guitar. .And, of course, there was the immortal Senegoid. For those desiring more tangible evidence of growth there were various physical im- provements. A new high-fidelity tape-recorder became the pride and joy of Bob Chambers; a new program operations board, much handier, though no less confusing than the old, made its appearance: a United Press teletype machine brought direct wire service to the voice of the campus; the pinchase of a tran- scription library added 6000 new selections to VVVBC ' s musical collection. Intense undergroiuid activity by inisung technical heroes enabled the station to extend its signal to the Law School, the first non- undergraduate institution so favored. Anil last, but not least, was the acquisition of Riik Brownell ' s fondest love, a brand new factory- made transmitter to replace the doddering hand-made job with its temperamental whimsicalities. Responsible for the funds that made pos- sible the expansion in ecjuipment was Bill Hays ' s Business Department. As controller of the pursestrings, Bill saw money come and go and imperturbably studied his sales and and expense graphs, while Sandy Liebschut and Howie Het ,ler made sure all-important funds kept coming. Ding Koehler ' s Ivy Net- work business office, located at WY ' BC, ended the year on a note of success. Filling up 82 hoins of air time per week was the job of Program Director Howie Eaton and APD ' s Jack May, Phil Colcord, and Da e Robinson. Added to the regular fare vere such special events as the two forums of the last half-century and the next, the imprece- dented two-hour progranr dealing with the Korean crisis, and the series on the diaft and the armed forces. Fhe News Division, imder Bert Fantacci and Al Raubitschek, garnered ten minutes ' worth of campus news per day, and added to its duties the publication of a house organ, The Intercom. Jack Timmons ' Sports Divi- sion supplied complete coverage of athletic events, adding even swimming to its repertoire of pla -by-play broadcasts. Basketball contests were led to local commercial stations on the ale Basketball Network. Mai Post ' s Con- tinuity Division supplied the stuff that sold the advertisers ' wares, and, imdaimted by the treacherous calumny of supervisors in their leports, turned out better commercials than ever. The Record Division, under the able direction of Bob Sheperdson, admirably carried out its responsiblity for many hours of musical air time, and continued to acquire new records rapidly. Under Bob Chambers, the Recording Division expanded rapidly, taking advantage of its great potentialities, not onlv by promoting better broadcasting, i)ut also in the field of producing records for public consiimptioir. Insuring smoothness of operation during the broadcast day, Don Freffeisen and Joe Schaefer, chief engineer and chief announcer, respectively, gave valu- al)le instruction and sometimes not so valu- able ratings in their two fields of endeavor. Riikey Brownell Avas the guiding ligiit Lefl: New and old chtiirinen: Middle: Ptirlv lime: Ri;j,lil: Biiuniss ncqiwiutances who led his Technical Department to contin- ued improvement of station facilities. Un- daunted h the loss of two of its members who heard the call to arms, the department contributed equalizers and a new cue system to the cause of better broadcasting. Aiding the signal ' s precarious joinney was the aim of much underground effort in the steam timnels. The Public Relations Department, spurred on by Syd Lamb, did its bit in publicizing station events and keeping tab on student listening habits. Newly promoted lines of en- deavor were history-writing and public senice: climaxing the latter effort was Rich Murray ' s sho v on the New Haven Green for the New Haven Community Chest. Audience Researchers, under Rod Lamm and Howie Galper, introduced a gigantic listener-prefer- ence poll. The station coidd not ha e sin vi ed withoiu the two functions so admirably perfomied by Vice-Chairman Tony Schulte — running the heeling comps and organizing entertainment.

VPICAL of the achievements of tfie 1951 Diamat Board was the first published picture of Elwood P. Dowd and his friend Harve), sliown above. Other high points of the year included tlie first Sunday matinees in Dramat history, a full-year schedule planned in ad- vance, and the reorganizatio n of the Fresh- man Dramatic Association. The year started with Brad Dillman and George Green doing a fine job on Shake- speare ' s Richard II. Ha ing removed serious thoughts from their minds (and the Engi- neering School members from the Board via General Warning), the Board turned to Derby Day and You Can ' t Take It With You. Slightly recovered from the shock of Derliy Day, and instead of studying for final exams, they prepared for the Cxjmmencement show, The Play ' s The Thing. Ray Alexander and Brad Dillman in the leading roles made it worthwhile to stay and sec the ]il;n. In the fall, Andy Patten, Ray Alexander, and Gordon Gould met together down in the theatre basement and put on Outward Bound on the Holy Cross weekend. Then that rabbit came to town. George Lewis as Elwood P. Dowd did his best to keep Harvey out of people ' s hair, but after all, what can you do to keep a six-foot white rabbit happy all the time? Ray Alexander and Gordon Ciould also helped to contain the animal, but the com- phiints were many. Jim Watson and Vince Heubel, the production managers, didn ' t like Harvey ' s nervous habit of kicking his hind leg through the doors and walls of the set. Pete Chapman was upset at the way he used the phone all day and thus caused the business de|3arlment to grind to a halt.

AVhen the complaints were brought up at a Board meeting, Howie Taylor would suggest that Har ey be fed a quarterkeg of beer every night. A discussion woidd follow. John Johnson would have a long talk with Harvey while trying to compose another song for his musical comedy. Kiss The Boys Good-Bye, based on the play by Clare Booth Luce; Bill Kelly would not commit himself, since he had just gotten off General Warning. Amidst the whole mess, the onl) serene person was the new director, Leo Lavendero. He and Harvey somehow got along, and without him the Dramat might ne er have pulled through.

He was ably assisted by Man- aging EdiiDi c n Kiniliall. Associate Editor Larry Hoinor, ;nul Business Manager Spence Struble, who in turn owed much to the efTorts of Harry Hatry, in charge of editorial matter; Gifford Hit ,, in charge of production; Brian Harvev, in promotion; and Phil Aronson, in circulation.

Hugo Beit, Bam ' Crown, John Robinson, and Sheldon Cohen. This board turned out monthly issues con- taining articles whose subject jiiatter included such topics as science fiction, biophysics, Yale ' s fishing expedition, child development, and engineering research. The Scientific thus con- tinued to maintain its editorial policy of recent years— to present a variety of scientific material written in non-technical language, with particular emphasis on the woik being clone at Vale and by faculty and graduates. The 1950-1951 Scientific also spcjnsored the hhli Annual Eastern Colleges Science Confer- ciue. I his conference was held at Vale during the Spiiu acation.

O INCE the reappeaiaiue of Et Veritus in 1948, the increasing interest in its editorial position and its articles has indicated that the magazine was already playing an important role in the undergraduate life here, and has established itself after three sionificant ears as a permanent and vital Vale publication. If Et Veritas, in years to come, continues to fill a definite need in undergraduate life, it may well be the forerunner of other such college magazines devoted to thought and criticism on religious and social questions.

Dohrmann The Yale Political Union IHE year 1950-1951, the sixteenth year in the life of the Yale Political Union, not only saw its continued increase in importance as a sounding-board for undergraduate politi- cal opinion, but was also marked by the ap- pearance before the Union of many outstand- ing guest speakers. Heading the Union during the spring term were John Marshall as president; Igor Sikor- sky, vice-president; Tom Nathan, secretary; and Richard Judge, treasurer. Party chair- men were Anthony . strachan of the Labor Party; Griffith Garland, Liberal Party; Ron- ald Emerine, Bull Moose Party; and Ra niond Price, Conser ati e Party. Astrachan resigned midway through the tciin, b eing rephKcd by Richard Bjoik. Highlighting tliis tiini were the appeai- ances of two senators from opposite sides of the political spectrum. Senator Homer E. Capehart attacked the Fair Deal as an un- warranted threat to individual liberty. He was answered, in part, by the junior senator from Minnesota, Hubert H. Hum|ihrey, who defended the administration health bill. At another of the meetings. Nationalist China was represented by its Consul General from New York, P. H. Chang, who ably argued against the lecognition of Communist China. The annual bantjuet was held in May, with Thomas H. Beck. Chairman of the Board of CdUiers, as guest speaker. . i the close of the spring teini. ne v officers were chosen for the fall. P. Griffith Garland assumed the Lhiion presidency. Other officers were Riiliaid Bjork. vice-president; Bruce Right: Hanoi R. Austin receives award for Distinguished Public Service from PU President P. Grif- fith Garland, as A ' . Roy Grutman watches; Below: Former Vice-Presi- dent Henry A. Wallace speaking Dohrmann, secretary; and Joseph Kutch. treasurer. Party chairmen were Pete Limt of the Labor Party; Jack Schmetterer, Liberal Party; James Wolf, Bull Moose Party; and Bruce Marshall, Conservative Party. The term opened with Pyo Wook Han. First Secretary of the Korean Embass , as guest speaker, advocating the unification of Korea imder Syngman Rhee. This proposal was defeated by a close vote. Next, Senator William Benton and Prescott Bush met in a debate in the Law School . uditorium. This meeting saw hundreds turned away from the door, as interest and enthusiasm ran high. William Henry Chamberlin, foreign cones- pondent, was featured at the next meeting, which saw the Union approve the reanna- ment of Western Germany. Henry Wallace appeared at the next meeting to speak on Rethinking .American Foreign Policy, and Constantin Fotitch, former Yugoslavian am- bassador to the LTnited States, who spoke against military aid to Tito, was the next guest speaker of the term. Arms aid passed, however, by a narrow margin. Warren R. . ustin, US Representative in the Security Council, was selected to receive the Union . ward for Distinguished Public Service. The term concluded with the traditional Gardner White Memorial Debate. Ambassa- dor Austin appeared in person to receive his citation, and Robert Wilder received an award as the most valuable member of the Union during the term for his work as chair- man of the Rules and Planning Committee. Lender Wilder ' s direction, this committee did extensive work on revising the Union ' s Con- stitution. THE CHURCH OF CHRIST IN YALE Undergraduate Deacons X. HE Church o£ Christ in Yale Universit represents the formal church function within the College community. Under the guidance of the Rev. Sidney Lovett, chaplain of the University, and the Rev. Burton A. MacLean, associate chaplain, the Church conducted the regular service each Sunday morning. In keep- ing with its interdenominational make-up. it was the policy of the Chinch to provide dif- ferent guest-preachers each Sunday. To the pulpit came men widely known as leaders of religious life and thought. The Undergraduate Board of Deacons were primarily concerned with the Church in its relation to the student body. The Student Deacons officiated as ushers on Sunday morn- ings and. at the Thursdav noondav ser ' ice held in Dwight Memorial Chapel, took part by reading the lesson and giving the address. The 1951 Board served as a calling committee for those freshmen who had signified a de- sire to become student members of the Church. Furthennore, the Undergraduate Board of Deacons was able to lend a helping hand to the Christian Mission, sponsored by Dwight Hall. It was through activities of this nature that much was accomplished in form- ing a closer relationship between the Church and Dwight Hall. Two primary elements of Christian activity at Yale, work and worship, were thus exemplified by both the 1951 Board of Undergraduate Deacons and the Church as a whole. This combination served to make 1950-1951 a banner Church vear. University Choir T HE University Choir resumed its singing at the Battell Chapel services on Sunday, Sep- tember 23. Each Sunday morning thereafter during the school year the choir participated in the regular sei ' vice, singing two anthems and lending hearty support to the hynnis. Fifty-six men, chosen from all schools of the University after highly selective voice trials, comprised the membership. Among the stu- dents were several who were formerly mem- bers of choral groups at Harvard, Princeton, Colimibia, the Naval Academy, Dartmouiii, and many other similar institutions. The choir maintained the highest possible standaid in its repertoire. The music sung represented a comprehensive survey of the best musi( of all significant periods, from late Gothic through the modern era. Special atten- tion was given to American music, drawing on the resources of Yale ' s famed Lowell Mason collection of church music. Psalm times and anthems used in the churches of se enteenth century New England were fre- quently siuig. On the first Sunday in Ma , the choir pre- sented a special service of music at the regu- lar morning worship. Six anthems were sung instead of the usual two. No other special ap|)earances were possible because of the crowded schedules of the members, although invitations were constantly received. Liuher Noss continued as director and organist; at the daily cha pel services, the music was diretted bv Frank Bozvan.

But to those men who took the time to participate in Dwight Hall activities during 1950-1951, the Christian As- sociation, headed by Charles Shepard, proved to be a live organization, filling a unique and necessary place in undergraduate life.

This committee providec such intellectual instruments as cells, home seminars, worship sei vices, and lectures. The Personal Relations Committee, under the chairmanship of Bob Kemble. attempted to bring into prominence difficult ipiestions hich confronted society. By working with the Dixwell Community House and promo- ting exchange visits, the Dixwell Interracial Groiqj sought to bring minority problems to the attention of the average Yale man. Per- haps the most satisfying activity of the year was that of the Christian Mission. Through the efforts of this committee, the Yale scene was permitted to hear the views of Reinhold Niebuhr. An innovation was the enjoyable Christmas Carol Sing on the steps of Dwight Hall. Dwight Hall made itself felt not only on the campus but also in the community at large. Some fifty Yale athletes lent their time and coaching ability to Boys ' Clubs and similar organizations. The Sponsorship Program, the Yale Hope Mission, and the Depiuations Committee all contributed to the betterment of the Ne v Ha en en ironment. The Inter-Church Council Dwight Hall cnlertnining visitors X. HE Inter-Church Council is composed of representatives of the Protestant religious groups on the Yale campus. These include Dwight Hall; Baptist Youth Fellowship; Berkeley Association; Congregational Sunday Evening Club; Lutheran Student Association; Methodist Wesley Foundation; Presbyterian Undergraduate Committee; and the Unitarian Student Association. The 1951 Inter-Church Council provided the channel for joint campus-wide activities and programs. Among the activities it spon- sored were joint meetings and programming on the Ecimienical Movement and the World Student Day of Prayer, spiritual-life retreats, and a study and discussion series. The coun- cil also studied the religious activities and spiritual needs on the campus in an effort to develop a more complete and integrated re- ligious program through its cooperating mem- b ers.

Attaining a final total of $38,080, the Drive failed to reach its §40,500 goal. Subsequent investigation of total enrollrnent in the Uni- versity revealed that a decrease had occurred. When the Committee had detennined the goal, they did not envision such a decrease. Charities supported included Yale-in-China, Yale Hope Mission, World Student Service Fund, Dwight Hall, United Negro College Fund, New Haven Community Chest, and the Grenfell Mission. The More Club X HE Saint Thomas More Club is devoted to the task of deepening the moral and de- votional sensibility of the Catholic under- graduate through an increased philosophical and theological understanding, that he might thereby leave Yale as vigorous religously as he is in secidar pmsuits. Dining 1950-1951, under the spiritual guid- ance of the Rev. Edwin O ' Brien, and the presidency of Thomas B. Ross, the More Club carried out an extensive program. Twice weekly, classes in apologetics and theology were held in the More House, where a well- stocked library of religious and philosophical works were at students ' disposal. A newsletter, describing the various activi- ties of the Club, was distributed each month to the entire Catholic popidation at Yale. George Adams served as editor of the Bul- letin during 1951. Thomas O ' Brien, vice- president, was highly successfid in the organi- zation of study groups, and Michael Pettee and Denis Newman capably served as secre- tary and coordinator, respectively.

Directed by Rabbi Joseph H. Gumbiner, the Yale Hillel Foundation is the center for Jewish religious, cultural, and social activity on the campus. Sabbath worship, followed by Oneg Shab- bat fellowship and discussion, was conducteii by the rabbi every Friday evening in Dwiglit Memorial Chapel. Students took part in these sen-ices, which featured guest speakers from time to time. High Holy Day services were also conducted in Dwight Chapel, while the Passover festi al was marked by a Seder cele- bration at the Woodbridge Country Club. During 1951. the Foimdation ' s worship ser- vices ere beaiuified bv the acc uisition of a Shofar, an Ark, and a Torah, the latter being one of those scrolls rescued from devastated Gemian synagogues. . series of Monday-night forums consti- tuted the major part of the cultural program. . t these forums, outstanding speakers both from within and from without the Uni ersity were presented. Four non-credit courses were offered by the foundation. Several dances, here and at Smith College, were well-attended: the Yale-Harvard-Prince- ton Colloquiiun was held at Princeton. . n Interfaith Series was conducted jointly with the AVesley Foundation, and an exchange of observers between the Hillel Cabinet and the Dwight Hall Worship and Study Committee was initiated.

Several of the projects with which the NSA at Yale has come to be identified made an early appear- ance and operated at full-swing throughout the year. The car pool, under the direction of Phil Didrikson, brought together ride-seek- ing and car-driving Yalemen, while Warner Rosenthal headed the Purchase Card system which provided substantial discoinits on ari- ous goods and services. In conjunction with the practice of adminis- tering cheap foreign travel, the . 1I-New Eng- land NSA Travel Information Meeting was held at Yale on December 10; Scott Halstead was in charge of the meeting. Vice-Chairman Dick Stern undertook the task of informing athletic rivals of the weekend activities in New Haven through a bulletin sent to the visiting school. The NSA Committee also dis- tributed maps and information sheets to Yale Students for the Harvard Weekend. One of the most important occasions in the Committee ' s history was the presentation of a United Nations flag to the University. Back rou ' —Hiirl. Diihihseii. C.lciiiix. Aiiloiioi ' irh.

Under the able tutelage of Director Rollin G. Osterweis, and with the friendly and help- ful presence of Professor John C. . dams, the Yale Debaters achie ed a successful record. The opening debate of the season was against the travelling British Universities ' team. Meeting the British on the subject of national health insurance, Reid Buckley and Jerry Butler successfully defended the nega- tive. In a packed hall, the debate with I ' rinceton on a humorous subject was repeated on the night before the game. Yale again won, as N. Roy Grutman, Bob Wieczorowski, and Ron Emerine pro ed that ' Tis better to ha e lo ed and lost, than never to have loved at all. The interesting topic of a new world or- ganization of non-conimiuiist nations, how- ever, presented some difficulty for the affimia- tive. The team of Butler, Bob Cobum, and Carl Bradley lost to Harvard in Cambridge, but John Steadman, Ed Meese, and Bob Cowell won in New Haven. In other home- and-home debates, the pattern was repeated. Against Amherst. Rusty Bullard. Bob Milli- kan. and Bob Tullis won in New Haven while the affirmative team of Jim Peterson, Herman Kohlmeyer. and Buckley lost. In the W es- leyan debate. Gordon Lindeen, Doug Unfug, and Bill Chasteen became the first team to win bv a unanimous decision. Later in the year were debates with Brown and Columbia, the traditional Triangulars, and the Boston Universitv and New England Regional Toinnanients.

Sedgieich !J The Yale University Band R .EPLETE with blue bla eis, gray llanncls. and white shoes, the Yale Band marched on to the grassy sward of Yale Bowl in late Sep- tember to begin one of its most successful vears. Under the aegis of Keith Wilson, the Band proved themselves an asset to both the pre-game rallies and the football games them- selves. Their activities Avere not limited to Yale Bowl, however, for the Band appeared as ac- companist to a carol group in front of Dwight Hall, at the annual formal concert in Woolsey Hall, and at the traditional Cross Campus Concerts in the late spring. Sections of the Band also provided musical interludes at Yale ' s basketball and hockey games. The Yale Band made two trips dining 1960-1951. One of these was to Cambridge, where the familiar songs of old Eli lent moral support to a winning Blue football team. The other trip took the Band to Bushnell Hall in Hartford for a pair of concerts spon- sored by the Hartford Board of Education. Even posterity was considered, for the Band made their lasting impression in a record albimi entitled Songs of Yale. This effort, coupled with the presentation of several con- certs over WYBC. added much to the stature of the Band. Keith Wilson was ably assisted by the offi- cers for 1950-1951, William Fischer, James Denyberry, and Paul Reagan, all of whom ex- pended a great deal of their time and energy to make the Band the success that it was. But it was Keith Wilson himself who made the Band one of the best in the nation. liilil! inw- Iriniii. Kimball. HlilK ' . kmiilii. Si Wcli ,y , . J.(i , it . . Muihta . Cuiniu. Wallace, Lan«lois.

The first performance of the year was a half-hour broadcast on the Monsanto Songs from New England Colleges Program on October 29, followed by appearances in Stam- ford, Connecticut and Plainfield, New Jersey, and joint concerts with Princeton, Harvard, and Smith. The annual Christmas trip took the Club through New York State for concerts in Garden City, Poughkeepsie, Albany, Syra- cuse, Rochester, and Buffalo. Highlight of the year was the spring tour ol the Caribbean. The Varsity sang ten c(jn lerts in Cuba. Jamaica, Haiti, San Domingo, Puerto Rico, and Miami. The Club also a|) peared in Waterbury, Connecticut, and W ' iiin Plains, New York, in adition to its traditional luuioi I ' loni and Conniuiu ciiuiu (oncerts. APOLLO GLEE CLUB The .Apollo Glee Club completed another successful season under the direction of Fenno Heath, its leader for the past few years. Open- ing its season with a joint concert with the Vassar Glee Club in Poughkeepsie on Decem- ber 2, the .Apollo went on to sing joint concerts with Albertus Magnus and Briarcliff. Other performances were given in Norwich, Connecticut, South Salem, New York, and Redding and Washington, Connectitut. FRESHMAN GLEE CLUB The Freshman Glee Club, led by .Arthur IiaiH . : as chosen in the fall from over two luuulicd candidates.

Since their founding in 1909, the W ' hiflenpoofs have con- tinued to live by this principle, striving al- ways to blend their squawks into the close harmonies of barber-shop and modem melo- dies. The Whiffs of 19. 3l, armed with a pitch- pipe and a fire engine of 1914 vintage, gathered together in September in Madison and Guillord for a veek of strenuous condi- tioning. They were soon heard on the Yale campus at various parties and dances, fol- lowed by excursions to Northampton, Pough- keepsie, and other New England resorts. The W ' hiffenpoofs performed on radio, television, and at most of the Glee Club concerts, be- sides appearing at numerous alumni and social functions throughout the East. . s the many pleasant Monday evenings spent at Mory ' s became a fond memory, the 1951 Whiffs entrusted to future black sheep the pleasant task of promoting good-fellow- ship and song.

The group, in 1951, marked over ten years of activity since it first provided the Orpheus while partaking of the Bacchus pro- ided by others, in itself an ingenious blend- ing of classical scholarship and practicality. Ranging from the more common north and southeastern engagements to cross-countiy trips and exploration of Nassau in the Ba- hamas and the Virgin Islands, the group has promoted the finest in music and wines on an increasingly hemispherical basis. Comple- mented with an ecjually strong educational jjrogiam lor the natives via TV and radio, the results awakened new hope in the an- cestral gods, and gave them activity other than the slumberous and despairing occupa- tion of comiting black sheep, frazzled and frenetic, futilely fighting an infinity of fences. Graduation cut deeply into the 1950 O ' s B ' s, but the 1951 aggregation rose to the chal- lenge and soon equalled and jiassed previous standards. And so the gods remain joUul, promising a happy haven to their ambassadors of the ambrosia and song of yore. Rack row—Claylon, MeiUoit, Coley, Powell, Haltcrsley, Breed: Front row—Moiillon.

The Spizzwinks (?) of 1951 certainly had a good time, and their listeners fared as well. All nine of the singing Spizzwinks (?) sang in the Yale Glee Club: Dick Mason, Sam Carter, Kon Matthaei, and Diiane Thomas, in fact, were the four Glee Club soloists. Even the non-singing manager, Pete Gillingham. made the Apollo. He did write a nice letter, too, when he got around to it, and his crutches lent a nice touch the time the group sang in the V ' assar Chapel, the Gothic welkin of which was found to be com- pletely latticed with red-leaded struc tural steel. The usual round of women ' s colleges was not neglected, as X ' ellesley, Mount Holvoke, Smith, Bennett, and the rest, including the above-mentioned Poughkeepsie institution, will testify. Yale fraternity and college dances, as well as beer parties aiul alimini dinners throughout the year, pro ed to be consistently enjoyable. The Spizzwinks (?) sang as a group on Glee Club tours to the West Coast and the Caribbean, and in New Haven before all sorts of organizations, from the Gridiron Club at the Towne House to Tau Beta Pi, cloistered high in the engineering labs. But it was some of the other engagements that proved to be the real gems, like the Monster Rally to be held for a worthy charity in New Haven ' s biggest movie theater, for which the sponsors neglected to send out some 3000 tickets: the group joined forces with the German Band and stopped traffic on Church Street. Then there was the great evening in New- York with the Campfire Club— a rugged group of big-game hunters, appearances on televi- sion programs at frecjuent intervals, and much, much more.

Gone were the days of the immortal Bull, Lind- bergh, and our beloved Mr. Schlitz, and the rest. But before they were gone completely there was the memorable weekend at Litch- field, and, with the help of an echo chamber, the old songs were put on wax for posterity. The three sui-viving members faced the futiue with trepidation. The discovery that Sam Babbitt, one of the founding fathers, was in Korea instead of New Haven was a bitter blow, but when such stalwarts as John The Toe Bush and Crooner Keresey were recruited, the Baker ' s Dozen started off the new year with a spirited aggregation. The innovation of a non-singing manager. Dick Leahy (chief mixmaster), was beneficial to both morale and organization in these com- plex times: for willi the afhcnt of spcrializa tion and the two-platoon system, the all- roimd, 60-minute ' manager-singer-arranger disappeared. During the fall, the traditional harmonies slowly deteriorated under the detemiined in- fluence of Mad Dick Peaslee and Send Me, Pete Westermann, the new arrangers, but, despite these unhealthy influences, the new group began to materialize rapidly. Besides numerous engagements at fraternity and college dances, the outstanding events 1)1 tlie fall season were an amazingly suc- c essful attempt at mixed choral singing with the Vassar Night Owls, a rather wet re- union at Smith, and the Princeton weekend reiuiion with the old grads. The Baker ' s Dozen hailed the new era of tlie motlern with mixed feelings, but the futiue looked bright: there would always he time for a little harbetshop liaiinom dining Basic Lrainin . Craighill, Mill. The Augmented Seven u. ' NLIKE an oc;il aggregation since the Neandertlial Nine Minus One, the Aug- mented Se en ne er presumed to any musi- cal proficiency or popular appeal. Its incep- tion was the result of an incident which occurred ever-so-long ago when four gay and carefree Yalies, allying their forces in an ef- fort to make their way home from Mory ' s, suddenly realized that they were the source of some rathei raucous, bacchanalian endeavors at a rendition of Aura Lee. They deter- mined then and there to augment their ranks to an octet, . ttci a long and careful search, four conscripts, dissatisfied with their musi- cal environment, were found. They quieth extricated themselves from the morass and be- came the nucleus of a new singing group, to wit, the Augmented Seven. After their first public performance when, due to the lack of a pitchpipe and blind faith in the perfect tone of their leader, Stew An- drews. the [ailed ignominiouslv. the group attempted innumerable comebacks. These consisted in a ast variety of fiascoes, not the least memorable of which resulted in their being banned from Mount Holyoke. Though they prided themselves on being the sole octet on the Yale campus with only eight members, the group was once obliged to render an ex- tensive program of old favorites, bar room ditties, madrigals, and assorted hymns with the fairly limited quartet of two first-tenors and a pair of second-basses. Nevertheless, such groups as the .Association of Deaf Mutes and the Ladies Aid Society of America were, in their own words, respectively, ugh-uh and enchanted. This was a good indication that, after all, the talents of the Augmented Seven had achie ed some sort of recognition. After a beer- and song-filled year, the 1950-1951 edition of the Augmented .Seven had certainly left their mark on the Yale scene.

Golden, Hallou ' eH, Tarbell ASCE T, HE PURPOSE of the Yale Student Chap- ter of the American Society of Civil Engineers is to familiarize the civil engineering stu- dent with the varied branches and activities of the profession. This aim was accomplished by presenting speakers from diverse fields at the Chapter ' s meetings, and a marked en- couragement of questions from and discussion among the interested members. During 1950-1951, the consulting engineer was represented by Elwyn Seeyle and Dr. Jacob Feld. Theodore R. Higgins spoke of the acti ities of the American Institute of Steel Construction, and Professor Hardy Cross. Strathcona Professor of Civil Engineering, gave his views as a facidty member. The place of the engineer in public service was set forth by Joseph Barnett of the Bureau of Public Roads, and William Wise of the Connecti- cut State Water Commission. Ole Singstad, a former director of the ASCE, presented a learned discomse on his specialty, timnel con- struction. One of the highlights of the ear was the 1950 meeting of the Northeastern Conference of Student Chapters. Some 150 representatives of fourteen engineering colleges attended the two-day session. Principal speaker was Wil- liam Cox, former ConnecticiU Highway Com- missioner and Yale professor. Another high- light was the combined meeting of the Yale student chapters of the professional societies; the . SCE chapter presented as their contribu- tory speaker Major General Leslie Groves, ho presented one of the most interesting talks of the entire year. General Groves spoke on his wide range of experiences with the famous atomic energy Manhattan Project. 273 YMJi Ammmm I ALE AVIATION took off with full power as its membership rose to over sixty mem- bers. Smith College, deciding that pilots were most attractive, treated the club to lunch and laughs at their home airport. Next on the calendar were an air meet in Great Barring- ton, and a weekend at the Coonamessett Sky Ranch on the Cape featuring dates and beer. Vale won the meet as President Alan Slifka took the bombing events. Johnny Villianis started to use the Cessna to commute to Vas- sar, and Treasurer Jim Cooper began to find a wealth of material for his There I was series. Skies from Maine to the Rockies were pierced by Yale Aviation planes after Vice- President Fred Davis supenised the installa- tion of a new engine, propellor, and a pri- mary set of blind instnnuents. During the fall, the flight team lost a close |)ractice meet, but took a well-deser ed sec- ond place in the Association of Northeastern College Flying Clubs ' annual meet. ' I ' hanks to tiie exceptional cjuality of instruction and maintenance, Yale Aviation has now flown ovei 400,000 miles with a spotless safety rec- ord, an adiiexement to be envied.

That the luiinitiated members of the Cinema were able to produce, as a ait accompli, their first dramatic film will long stand at the head of movie miracles. Al- though the movie adaptation of a Chaucerian tale had many obvious weaknesses, it was felt by all that its appearance marked a milestone. Now that trained personnel were collected together, it was hoped that future productions woidd be significant contributions. Other firsts in the organization ' s acti ities were established: there was the attempt to establish an unprecedented popcorn aisle in .Strathcona Hall, and the spring term saw an energetic experiment with a double series of feature films. As in the past, Cinema film jjrograms were selected with an eye to a bal- ance of the best comedies, mysteries, drama. and film art available on l( )-millimeter film. The year saw such standouts as Alexander Nexisky, Camille, Great Expectations, as well as many others, brought to the Yale audience. The incieased burden of the longer film series was carried by the officers. Chairman Scott Halstead handled booking: Phil Keeler, piojection manager, Mike Bennett, and Mike Kagan handled the technical end of the show- i ngs. The long and varied tasks of produc- tion were carried out in a spirit of coopera- tion by all the members, as Bob Keeler handled the director ' s exacting task with Ijoundless energy. The successful completion ol the Cinema ' s first film was due in large pai t to the generous loan of a great deal of aluable etjuipment by Al Fox, the head cam- era man.

Also gone were the famous rubber-mask line, and in their place stood only a nucleus of beer-swollen veterans and some promising rookies. Fiom tins group had to be com- pounded a team strong enough to face thirty- one various commitments in almost every city of major importance on the Atlantic seaboard. These ice-bound counterparts of the Har- lem Globe Trotters opened their title defense before a packed house in Norwalk ' s famed Crystal Ice Palace against an aggressive Choate sextet. Howe er, early in the game the Cougar sharpshooters found the range and coasted home on the long end of a 2. i-() score. Following this, the Cougars were next found in the .Springfield Coliseum where, despite short periods and lax officiating, they man- aged to salvage a last-iriinute 2-2 draw with the Amherst varsity on a blistering backhand by Fearless Fiske thirteen seconds before the final claxon. Of note was the play u|) lorwaid ol ' .Miul hooks Dwight, Nelly Hooe, Fearless Fiske, Flawless Shepard, Lucky Fidkin, Mac Woodhouse, Blades ' Barnes, and Rod Howard, while the Blue line wa held by Hooker Emanuelson, .Skinhead McLaren, Pinky Roome, Ush Bening- ton, Black Jack Warner, and Zuzu Ga- hagan.

LOOK BACK ai the veai I950-19.t1 reveals that one word summed up the general feeling ot the Class of ' 54— insecurity. Few knew what the war would mean to the pursuit of their Yale careers, and an air of uncer- tainty marked the year quite strongly. Yet, above this doubt, the normalcy of any other freshman year prevailed. Fifty-four ' s arrival was marked bv the u sual Have you brought )oim yet? plus the general confusion and bewilderment usualh caused by any new surroundings. When fresh- men began to find their classrooms without the inevitable Eli Book map and had bought an occasional book, the tension eased some- what, and the. days started to take on more comprehensible patterns. The first football weekend came, and life for the freshman seemed to take on a new meaning. In order to assure the yearlings of a more complete and interesting education, informal dances were held at Smith, Vassar, and Connecticut College in October— paving the way for fuller extracurricular activities. These diversions, however, were soon to catch up with a few erring freshinen in the form of gloomy surprises when mid-term grades were announced. For most, though, calculus, physics, and philosophy took on a vague meaning behind their respective in- tellectual Iron Curtains. This set pattern of life was broken, to the relief of all, by the Christmas holidays and the usual series of parties and pleasant sedatives for hard work. Upon their return in the new year to recu- perate, the freshmen found themselves, for the first time, confronted with dreaded temi examinations. Intended work advanced to a feverish pitch, while even actual work accom- ]ilishc(l increased, and there was more than Throunli Plielps Gale come three inr l:frs III Ihc cla s of iiinrlccv lllt -l one member o[ the class who douijled his ( hances of getting by. When it was all over, though, aside from the few wlio decided they were destined to major in freshman courses, most members of the class found they were better off than they expected, and the general picture of the Old Campus was brighter. . s usual, what interfered most with schol- arly pursuits, besides best girls, next-best girls, and any girls, was sports. Many freshmen turned out for football and soccer in the fall, basketball, hockey, and swimming in the win- ter, and crew and baseball in the spring. Perhaps the teams were not spectacular, but neither were they poor. Most had a season of more wins than losses, achieved to a great extent through hard work and a maximum of spirit. At tlie beginning ol March tame the big social fiuiction of the year, the Freshman Prom. Held in Voolse Hall, the dance turned out to be a gala affair, as did the whole expensive weekend. With . pril came the first touch of spring weather as well as a touch of the accompanying fever. .Although there was some doubt on the part of all as to just how many would return to New- Haven in the fol- lowing year, the spirit of the class managed to hold up under the strain of ever-existing uncertainty, and three more years of Yale, if not soon, then at least eventually, were looked forward to by all.

Alter only twelve practice sessions, the year- lings took the (iekl against a polished Andover eleven. Vith plays taped on their wrists, the Elis battled in vain to stem the powerful attack of the prepsters. and finally succumbed, 12-0. On the ue i Saiuulax, the Ireshmen fared better, as they took to the ainvays against Rutgers. Doug Treat and Jerry Jones starred in the groimd attack, both making long runs to set up two of the Yale touchdowns. Joe Fortunato jjased twice to Jones for tallies, while Tieat went o er for the third, and the final score read Yale. 18— Rutgers, 6. Continuing their winning ways against Columbia, the Yalemen stowed away an easy ictory, 18-7. By virtue of an excellent de- fensive game, the Blue never had to worry about the Lions ' attack, and the Bidlpups ' offensive clicked smoothly, showing Yale at its best. On the following .Satinday, howe er, a heavy Holy Cross line cleared the way for an early score, and the yearlings never coidd make up the deficit. The powerful aggrega- tion from Worcester scored three times in the first half and once again in the second to dump the cubs, 26-16. In a slippery contest, marked by bitter and sloppy play, the Brown freshmen whipped the Elis, 12-0. Yale outgained Brown but coidd not get into scoring territory, consistenth losing the ball on fimibles. One w-eek later, against Dartmouth, the freshmen held the smooth Indians until well into the fmirlli i|narter. bin iluii a ImMJ tali ended the Blue ' s hojics.

Doug Treat, Ed Mollox, and Barry Seymour brought the ball to the Princeton l7- ar(l line. Ralston skirted his left end from theie ioi the touchdown, tving the score at 7-7. But Princeton came back in the second period with two more counters to break the hearts of the Bullpups. Thereafter it was all Princeton, and the Tigers triumphed, 25-7. As the Harvard game approached, tension mounted, for the Bullpups realized that when one plays Harvard, the past season is forgot- ten, and only the Han-ard game matters. Hampered by a bad case of Harvard-game jitters, the Elis soon found themselves with their backs to the goal line. Harvard scored, but the Blue came back with a vengeance. Bill Prentiss crashed through the Johnny for- ward wall to nab a redshirted back for a safety. Then Yale ' s running attack, featuring Jerry Jones and [im Ralston, took over. Aher a forty-yard drive, Ed Mollov handed off to Barry Seymour who threw to end Frank Smith for one score. Later, Harry Benninghoff gathered in the pigskin for the final touch- down of the afternoon.

Vet this showing was not at all indicati e of the team, for in its four previous engagements, it garnered two out of three dual meets and captured the Big Three cro vn. Fordham was the first team to be met, and the Rams managed to eke out a slim victory. 27-29. the only loss suffered by the cubs on their home grounds.

Rnberis Soccer IWO SUCCESSIVE VICTORIES o ci Hopkins Grammar and Wilbur Cross High School featured the opening of the freshman soccer team ' s season. Hopkins succumbed by a 4-1 coimt, while Vilbur Cross was shut out, 3-0. In their next meeting, however, the Elis tasted defeat at the hands of a highly touted Exeter scjuad. The game was extremely even, and it was not imtil Exeter capitalized on a penalty kick at the end of the third period that the scoreless tie was broken. This proved to be the only tally of the game, giving Exeter a 1-0 victory. Cheshire Academy managed to stave off the aggressive play of the Eli line in the second half, and thus gained a tie with the Bullpups in the following contest. Wesleyan was next on the Yale schedule, and they scored a 1-0 victory over the Blue. Following this defeat, the Blue came through with a thrilling 2-1 trium])h () ci the Uni ersity of Connecticut. Captain [ohn Rose and Jack Davy scored in the closing minutes to overcome an early UConn lead. Dartmoiuh smothered the Elis, 4-1, in their first Ivy League match. Despite unfavorable soccer weather, fine Indian teamwork over- whelmed the yearlings. Contests with New England College and Arnold College followed. The Blue swept both these contests. 2-0, and, 3-0, respectively. The cubs wound up their season with the traditional Princeton and Harvard games. Princeton wasted no time by scoring twice in the first period and going on to win, 3-2. Undaunted bv this defeat, Yale scored a re- sounding 3-1 triumph over the Cantabs. Nick Ne ille and In- Doxsee scored the final two goals, while Bill Hutchinson and John Brown played their best games of the season. Back roic—Iiechhold, Everett. Cunning mm.

Dick Glowacki and Jay Dishnow hit the range from the starting buzzer, and kept up the pace throughout the game. Frank Demcak. fresh from the gridiron, lent a helping hand, as the team successfully laimched the 1950-1951 campaign. In their second game, the Blue quintet met tougher competition, as an aggressive Riugers club matched them basket for basket right up to the end of the contest, only to return home in defeat when a late Eli basket settled the game, 55-53. The third start, against the Flatbush Boys ' Club, ended in another victory for ' ale. 73-67, but on the following Vednes- da . the yearlings dropped a tough one to Connecticut, 72-56. After the Christmas layoff, a refreshed team came back from their vacation to beat the Brown five, 76-48, and two days later, having lost none of their drive, they won over Trin- ity School, 43-29. After a first half character- ized by wild passing and poor shooting, the Yale squad tightened up, and with the help of Captain Disfinow, .Spente Schnaitter, and Blair LeRoy, pulled away from the New Y ' orkers.

A few days later, in their game with Brown, the yearlings, ex- hibiting superior stick-handling and a tight defense, again came out on top. But in their third start, the freshmen lost to a smooth- working St. Paul ' s team, 5-1, being outplayed until the last period. The 1951 freshman si|uail was selected from one of the largest turnouts in many years after considerable intramural practice and screening; both Coaches Murdock and Mc- Neil figured in the determination of the scjuad. Leigh Quinn, from Andover, and Cap- tain Wally Kilrea, as well as Robinson and Stanley, all helped spark the team to a fairh successful season. Their record augurs well for future varsity fortunes. C OACH JOHNNY SKILLMAN began the year b predicting, I thing that the team will do lairiv well this season, but they need a lot more matdi play experience. His prophecy tinned out to be fairly accurate; he had al- lead) seen Jim Laughlin, fresh from Brooks, take the heshman tournament. On FcbruarN 10. in the Payne Whitney C; ni, the earlings took a three-team meet against Choate School and Episcopal Acad- emy. Dave Workman ran into a little siitf competition as number-one man in both matches, but his teammates, Jim Laughlin, Gil Grosvenor, Gerry Pettit, and Barry Sey- moiu- made up the difference quite easily with loin wins against both teams. One can easily predict that the fine show- ing of the cubs bodes ' ell for the continued success of Yale scjuash.

The yearlings followed this victory with a good sea- son, defeating, among others, the Penn fresh- men, 22-6. Outstanding were Captain Bill Downey, a product of Choate ' s grappling team, in the 167-pound class, Ed Abdelnoor. Dick Polich, and Bob Mead. Mead, from Morristown, New Jersey, had never wrestled before coming to Yale, Polich was captain of the wrestling team at Morton High School in Lyons, Illinois, and Abdelnoor, at 147 pounds, was co-captain of the Poly Prep wrestlers in Brooklyn. Also on the team were Jack White, Pim Epler, Sten Carlson, and hea yweight Hap Golden. John O ' Donnell served as freshman coach, assisted by John Evans, a graduate student. Fencing Ty HE ERESHM. N tencing team swung into action against Columbia after more than three months of practice under the guidance of Coach Al Grasson, but succumbed, 20-7, to the talented fencers from Morningside Heights. Grasson described his team as consisting mainly of inexperienced swordsmen who might well develop in time. He attributed the latter to the fact that most of the boys pos- sessed good coordination as a result of pre- vious athletic training, and are thus able to learn the techniques of fencing rapidly. Out- standing fencer on the team was Dawson Shoemaker, who learned his fencing under Coach Grasson ' s brother-in-law. George Ja- coby, George Spaeth, and Art Hartwell all helped to bolster the team during the gener- ally successful year. Back row— Fluty (manager), Rosen hiatt, WilUams, Hartwell, Padegs. Dear.

South Middle (Bingham and Welch Halls), as a result of their splendid showing in hockey competition. The Postman sextet was ahead of the winners of the football title, South Middle. Maintaining good to excellent records in A and B basketball, swimming, and squash, South Middle edged into a lead posi- tion. Their first-place deadlock in basketball and swimming, second place in B basket- ball, and third in squash, boded fair to make them eventual winners. North, although tied for first place in A basketball, and undisputed leaders in the scjuash matches, lost groimd because of low- ranking swimming and B basketball. 1 he top unit in B basketball. North Mid- dle (Farnam and Lawrance Halls), was plagued by ties lor fointh place iir squash and swimming, plus a hapless cellar position in A basketball. This record, added to their poor showing in touch and hockey, placed the imit in an extremely discoiuaging last place. The South teams (Vanderbilt and McClel- lan) w ere favored to take the swimming crown and second place in the squash league. Their basketball unit and their unimpressive hockey results, however, relegated the strug- gling imit to third place.

' Thirty-six years ago a surprised and pleased motorist climbed back into his automobile. He was holding a road-map in his hand. It had been given to him by a Gidt filling station man. It was the first time any such aid had been offered a traveler. It was the first evidence of an interest in the motorist that was to change filling stations to service stations. Pioneers of service in the truest sense, Gulf was among the first to realize that it 1901 pUUy 19S1 PETROLEUM ■- PRODUCTS J was possible to build up a friendly, personal relationship with the motorist . . . based on consideration lor the motorist ' s welfare. This spirit has persisted and grown with the years. Today it inspires the entire Ciulf organization through all its dealings with the public. There are now more than thirty-tour thousand Gulf service stations in the Gidf marketing territory. Their owners and operators are not merely salesmen. They are hosts of the highway, courteous and com- petent. Thev are helping, serving, and ad- vising millions of motorists on the road every day. Vox Gulf believes that the price of success is service. And through service, Gu!l has won not only success, but the lo :ilr and respect of the American public.
