Charles R. Eaglev, A.M., Litt.B., Assistant Projessor oj French. Blanche J. Poulleau Crawford, C.A.P., Instructor in French. Mercedes C. Iribas, Instructor in Spanish.
THE courses in the French Department are designed to afford a certain degree of literary culture, as Avell as to impart thorough training in the grammar and linguistics of the language. The fact that French is a living tongue is kept ever in view. For this reason but little English is used in the classroom. Free composition, dictation, memorizing, and conversation are required throughout the courses. Much attention is given to pronunciation, practical phonetics being taught in all courses, and the relations of modern French to classical, popular, and low Latin are brought often before the students.'
The courses in Spanish are arranged with a view to giving, as far as possible, a practical knowledge of this language, and also some idea of the modern literature in Spain.

L
THE elementary courses of study in this Department are designed primarily to equip the student with a working knowledge of the German language as a key to the treasures of German science, phi- losophy, and literature, and the more advanced courses are intended to impart a knowledge of the development of German literature and to foster appreciation of its masterpieces.
In the classroom, translation into English is discontinued as soon as possible and expressi\'e reading of the German text is substituted, and German is made the classroom language as early as possible. The idiomatic sentence and modern colloquial language form the basis of the work in composition. Reading and translation at sight are cul- tivated. The attainment of a correct literary understanding and of genuine appreciation of some of the best things in German literature is regarded as the highest aim.

Robert Parvin Strickler, Ph.D., Assistant Professor of Creek and Latin.
THE aim of the Department of Greek and Latin is primarily to create an appreciation of the masterpieces of Greek and Latin literature and to trace their influence upon modern thought and letters; attention is given to the political institutions of both Greece and Rome and their survival in present times, to philosophy and religion, to private and social life, and to art and literature as exemplified by existing remains in sculpture and painting and in private and public buildings.

THE work in the Department of History and International Re- lations is conducted by means of classroom lectures and library work, which are coordinated by the students in written outhnes and reports. The purpose of the Department is to afford training in the discriminating use of historic materials; to cultivate the historical and international habit of mind; and to develop a general knowledge of European, English, and United States history as a whole, together with a more detailed knowledge of certain great epochs, institutions, and personages in the history of western civilization.

ROBERT CLARKSON BROOKS, Ph.D.
Professor of
Political Science
THE primary aim of the Department of Political Science is to prepare students for intelligent and effective citizenship. To this end an effort is made to interpret the political hfe and movements of our time in city, state, and nation. Particular attention is given to criticisms of existing institutions and proposals for their reform. Governments and parties in the leading foreign nations of the world are considered not only because of their intrinsic importance, but also for the valuable suggestions they may yield for the solution of our American problems.
Though the courses in this Department are designed primarily to produce intelligent and effective citizenship, they also prove more immediately helpful to those who intend to enter politics, law, public service, journalism, business, or the teaching of civics. Students who expect to devote themselves to advanced study and research in Politi- cal Science are given the foundations for such work in the courses offered by this Department.

THOMAS KLIKGENBERG URDAHL, Ph.D. Projessor of
economics!
Claude C. Smith, A.B., LL.B., Instructor in Law. Gladys Louise Palmer, B.A., Assistant in Economics.
THE broadest purpose of the college instruction in Economics is to contribute to good citizenship by the cultivation of intelligent citizenship. The work in Economics is designed to prove useful to all students, especially those who intend to devote themselves to law, business, journaKsm, philanthropy, or public service. For those who wish to prepare for investigation or teaching in this field, the college instruction, with its looser personal relation between student and teacher, should provide suitable preparation for graduate study and research in larger institutions.
The courses in law are designed to give to the student an insight into legal reasoning and a general knowledge of the fundamental legal relations which govern our society. It is expected that these courses ^^ will serve as a helpful introduction to professional study
for those who aim to prepare themselves for the life of a lawyer; that those students who desire to equip themselves for active business life will be aided by an in- telligent study of principles which lie at the basis of commercial life; and that in the systematic study of the science of the law all will acquire not merely an under- standing of legal rules, but also an appreciation of their justice, wisdom, and harmony.
^tilo^opi)?
Elbert Russell, Ph.D., Lecturer in Biblical Literature.
THE object of this Department is to give an introduction to the principal rehgions and philosophies of the world and a more detailed study of a few of them. A second and equally important object is that of initiating and developing the habit of critical and independent thought.
The work is presented by means of lectures, recitations, discussions, and the preparation of themes. A small but carefully selected museum of religious curios, an excellent library, and several hundreds of lantern slides are available for teaching, together with the usual equipment of maps, charts, and pictures.
/
COURSES in the Department of Education are designed to meet the need of two distinct groups of students: those who, while not in- tending to teach, desire, as citizens and workers in other fields, to know something of the current conditions and problems of American education, and those who wish to prepare for teaching. The College has a Teachers' Appointment Committee, of which Professor Ryan is chairman. The Committee assists graduates of the college in securing teaching positions, and its services are available for earher graduates of the college as well as for members of the graduating class.
ALFRED MANSFIELD BROOKS, A.M. Professor of
Jf ine ^rts
THE purpose of the courses is to lead to and increase understanding of the Fine Arts. The work consists of illustrated lectures on the plastic and graphic arts — architecture, sculpture, painting — and the alHed arts, together with collateral reading and first-hand examination of objects of art. The principles of art and their application in master- pieces are studied not only with reference to the intrinsic value of the masterpieces but with a view to developing good taste, for it is by knowledge and memory of fine things only that power can be acquired to fix the standards by which to form such taste.

SPENCER TROTTER, M.D. Professor of

Samuel Copeland Palmer, Ph.D., Associate Professor of Biology.
THE courses in Biology are designed to give a broad view of the facts of life as part of a liberal education. The successful com- pletion of the several courses for the degree of A.B. is preparatory to the study of Advanced Biology, Medicine, Forestry, or of Agriculture. Students are thus enabled to enter the technical schools of the leading universities in the above named branches.
The courses are arranged so as to present a logical sequence through- out the four years of college work for students making Biology their major subject.
The requirements by the foremost medical schools of the country of two years' preparation in Biology is fulfilled by these courses in Swarthmore College. These courses likewise lead to the post-graduate work of the university.

Hermann Bernhard, Ph.D., Inslruclor in Chemistrv.
THE Department of Chemistry and Chemical Engineering does not aim to develop specialists in any particular branch of chemistry, but presents opportunities for a comprehensive general training in this science. The foundation obtained will enable the student to enter upon graduate work at leading universities or will serve as material assistance to those engaged in various technical pursuits. Elementary courses offered are of advantage for those preparing for the medical profession.
The new and commodious chemical laboratory, with its splendid equipment, lends every advantage to thorough and modern instruction in this Department.

Charles Garrett Thatcher, A.B., M.E., Assistant Professor of Mechani- cal Engineering. (Absent on leave.) Errol Weber Doebler, C.E., Instructor in Civil Engineering. Andrew Simpson, B.A., Instructor in Mechanical Engineering.
THE purpose of the courses in the Civil Engineering Department is to prepare the student in the more essential principles involved in construction and engineering work. The instruction is given both by lectures and recitations. In the drafting room, the field, the laboratory, and shop, the aim is to adapt the instruction to the indi- vidual needs of the student.
The success of an engineer has come more and more to depend upon his ability to meet men of education and culture on equal terms; hence, courses in liberal arts are carried throughout the four years in the belief that they will ultimately benefit the students. The technical
courses of study are arranged and conducted with the purpose of im- parting preparation for immediate usefulness in the office, drafting room, or field. Undergraduates are encouraged to engage in engineering work during the summer vacation.

THE work in this department is conducted both by lecture and laboratory instruction. The equipment of the electrical labora- tories is a source of particular pride, being unusually complete and well arranged, and comparing most favorably with that of the largest technical schools. While more stress is laid upon the power side of the electrical profession, leading to work with manufacturing or public service companies, courses are given in communication and graduates are found acceptable for work in telephone or radio lines.

THE Department in Mathematics is designed to meet the wants of students desiring later to do graduate work in the best uni- versities; to teach mathematics in the preparatory schools; to pursue engineering or other technical courses; to enter professions •^
requiring a knowledge of Mathematics, such as actuarial work and expert accounting.
In Astronomy, the teaching staff is at present devoting as much time as is consistent with their teaching duties to studies in stellar parallax with the twenty-four-inch telescope, and to photography with the nine-inch doublet. Results of departmental studies are published in the Sproul Observatory publications and in various scientific journals.

THE Department offers courses in general physics which cover the fundamental principles of the science in their relation to the other sciences and to general experience. Advanced courses are offered in special branches of the subject such that a student may obtain a comprehensive, though necessarily elementary, view of the domain of modern physics. The Department aims to prepare students through these courses for post-graduate study, for research work in industrial laboratories, or for the teaching of physics in secondary schools.

THE aim of the Department of Physical Education is to promote the general physical well-being of every student and to assist them to gain the hygienic, corrective, and educative effect of rightly regulated exercise. In order that this object may be better attained, and to assist the director in gaining a definite knowledge of the strength and weakness of the individual, a careful physical examination and medical inspection are required, which serve as a basis for the work.
Intercollegiate contests in various athletic and aquatic sports are conducted by the Athletic Association, but under the supervision of the Athletic Committee and the Director of Physical Education, who may at any time forbid any man entering a contest whose physical condition is not satisfactory.

To Our Alumni
To you, who in the past have learned To love the things which we enjoy,
We look with reverence and with pride — And for this cause our time employ.
In days gone by you've felt the thrill Of passing by these selfsame walls,
As now we feel on treading through
Old Swarthmore's gray and honored halls.
You've stood the test and forged ahead That we might come to fill your place.
And when we all have carried on
Some younger blood will end the race
M

We honor you for what you've done In present days and days of yore.
Striving to ever keep alive
The love and glory of Swarthmore.

ine S^varthlnore Alumni Association
ORGANIZED May 8, 1875, and incorporated January 16, 1882, the Alumni Asso- ciation extends membership to ail graduates of Swarthmore, irrespective of membership in the sectional alumni organizations.
The Alumni Association is most active during Commencement Week. Last June, the Association celebrated its Fifty-first Alumni Day, starting with the beautiful and impressive Lantern Parade, Friday night before Commencement, and continuing over the week-end. Various class reunions were held Saturday morning, and in the afternoon the "alums" forgot their dignity long enough to participate in the Class Parade, in which each class vied for honors. The events culminated in the annual dinner held Saturday evening.
The Annual Banquet gives the alumni an opportunity to express all the enthusiasm they have stored up for their Alma Mater throughout the year. It is usually held in January or February and is one of the greatest alumni events of the year. Anyone looking in upon the display of enthusiasm and good cheer that characterizes all these banquets could not but realize that Swarthmore's alumni are a concentrated force, working for their Alma Mater with all the energy that true affection can inspire.

The aA' estern S^varthmore CIud
THE Western Swarthmore Club was organized in 1904, just twenty years from the year this book appeared. Its greatest boast is that each year since 1906 it has sent a student to Swarthmore. Last year the Western Swarthmore Club Scholar- ship was changed from a one-year to a four-year scholarship. It is worth $700 annually and is awarded once every four years. The change in the scholarship was made so that it would not lose any prestige to the Open Scholarships. The Club meets quarterly and holds a biennial gathering in January.

The Club now numbers about eighteen men and women in its membership.

Virgil, called "Cicero" by Doc AUeman, is one of the mainstays of Coach Dunn's soccer team. Although a member of the 1925 Crum Creek Navy (also known as "Day Students," "Fly-by-Nights," etc.), "Birdie" has found time to spare from engineering for soccer since his Freshman year, and he is kicking goals in both.
Considering that he has spent several summers out on Chautauqua, Virgil really is a nice boy. He doesn't fuss the college women much, but he gets decidedly fussed if you mention certain members of the rare — we mean fair — sex in the village.

At any function, whether it be a basketball game, a dance, or even Collection, you can spot him just as close to his friend as he can possibly get. No, she isn't his girl — she's his notebook.
If he doesn't already; our striving young reporter should be earning a nice, big salary as advertising agent for the "Lefax" Note Book Company. Maybe "Ben" thinks it pays for itself, though, and we are even beginning to believe that it is a good plan to have such a close friend, especially if one wishes to remain true to a little twin back home.

To "peg" away; to "Peg" to talk.

May we introduce to you the associate editor of this book and a faithful "Phoenix" scribe. Master Vincent Butler? "Vine's" real field of endeavor, however, is off the campus. He is the most important member of the staff of the "Swarthmore News" in that he spends the most of the profits of the firm. This paper, however, has improved 100 per cent since he and two other Swarthmore Juniors have taken charge. In fact, it prospered so much that under the pretext of business necessity the editor bought a Dodge runabout. Alas, the day! Now he spends his study hours "dodging" around the countryside hunting for "news that is news," and it is always news to the professors when he has his lessons prepared.
Dates also take some of our sturdy "Vine's" time. Ask some of the Glee Clubbers what they thought of Maplewood women on the New York trip last February! When he is not busy with these many affairs, he will direct his energies toward managing the tennis team this year, and the Glee Club next year.

"Skipper" spent part of his early years before the mast on the Delaware, which accounts for his name. Every summer he goes to the Maine woods and gets back to nature with all the wild things up there, so when he returns to college he is quiet and unsophisticated. After a few months back at Swarthmore, "Skip" again appears as one of the true types of this wild young generation.
He is a man of but few words but of deeds multifold. In the winter he swims, and in the spring he imitates the antelope on the track. Some day, with the right kind of backing, "Skip" may become a great politician, but at present he is a little too honest and has too many reform ideas. However, his reputation is as white as his name is black, and no one can get anything on the "Skipper."

Likewise there came from Chester, in the fall of 1921, a young man known to the "Day Students" as "Chas."

And in that day he was declared chief minstrel, and was given a high seat in the "Day Students'" lunch- rooms. Having sailed the high seas and collected many funny stories and songs, it may never come to pass that he will fail to provoke merri- ment among his fellowmen.
But, alas, time came when "Chas" was stung by the radio bug. Straightway he joined the Wireless Club and expended much energy in the building of a station for his Alma Mater. In the latter days, "Chas" did develop into a "cake-muncher." The fair sex did command much of his time, and it became necessary to add flirting to hiscurricu- lum.

Lydia's middle name is Treasure, but that doesn't wholly account for her value around college. Lighthouses don't ring bells and shoot cannons to call attention to their shining — they just shine.
Lydia's like that — one of those rather quiet, retiring individuals who actually accomplish more in twenty-four hours than the rest of us do in twice that time. Despite such Edison-like concentration, she is quite ready for a good time as the youngest Freshman. "All work and no play" — quotes Lydia sagely.

Now all we mortals here at College, our minds intent on gaining knowledge, wlio dance upon our partner's feet and think a date's a thing to eat — we think that "Mike's" a child of wonder because her room is filled with plunder which she's acquired because she's had an Alpha Kappa Kappa lad. Now "Mike" was wearing Arnold's pin when she was first admitted in our College, but we always thought the whole affair would come to naught.
But now "Mike" wears a diamond ring — and isn't love a funny thing?

Modest and bashful, retiring and shy — no one ever accused "Robert the Third" of being that. He did retire once during his College career, however, when he left this place of toil to enter business at the end of his Sophomore year. But "Bobby" just couldn't stay away, so back he came to rejoin us in the midst of our third year.
Everyone was glad to see "Bobby" come back to College, and one of the Freshman girls was especially happy. Although small in stature, he is big in deeds, and he puts all of his five feet of energy into a job when he tackles it.

Behold, ladies and gentlemen, "Bud," the lady-killer. To look at him, you'd never put him down as a "he-vamp" — that is, judging from his innocent smile and child-like appearance. BUT — give him the moon, give him the girl, and his she's sure to be! And in spring-time the young man's fancy turns to the cinder path, and he abandons formal engage- ments to become the champion rug jumper of the College.
"Bud" comes from Coatesville, and has done his best to uphold the reputation of his home town during his College career. He is a well- known man around the campus, as all rooters follow his slender, sym- metrical, and syncopating figure, which arouses them to increased pep.

Fine Arts
Norris is fond of the sea and architecture and he combines them in a happy way by spending his summers along the Jersey coast and his winters in A.iVI. (Morning) Brooks's Art classes. He seems to make out well in both of his chosen fields, and if he continues to mix them he ought to be a shipbuilder. In addition, there is another kind of "boat" Norris is interested in. It is the old one he used to use between the college and the village, and it is easy to see that he has practiced his art on it.
Norris was formerly many things he is not now, showing he has a reversible nature. This is a virtue when one changes for the good, so he claims, for he was — formerly of Drexel, now of Swarthmore: formerly a day student, now a resident: and formerly an engineer, now an .architect. "He may change to the ministry yet!" remarked some co-ed, but we say, "No, not Norris."

"Jack" is our boy from Minnesota. Despite his Ortonville rearing, he seems to be doing fairly well in this eastern climate. Since coming to College he has become Dean Brewster's right-hand man. Anyone that wants a drag in that direction, just consult him.
Jack's interests seem to be principally along the Main Line. This may be one of the reasons why he isn't around College much of the time. He also has a little oriental maid whom he met last summer, fresh in his memory. Ask him about her.
Besides being a friend to the ladies, he is quite an accomplished musician, and he is responsible for the noise at the D.U. meetings. He misses rooming with his old friend "Scotty" a great deal. However, they are frequently seen together, going down to the Tea Room or heading for a train to take in the latest show in the city. "Jack" does know how to get around in this world quite well. He is an indispensable friend and companion on trips home in an unstable Ford. Ask any one of his fellow journeyers of last summer.

Kent is one of the social lions of Swarthmore, and woe unto any Daniel who ventures into his den with malicious intent. The chances are, however, that the den, which is on the first floor of C Section, will be vacant, except for a solitary roommate who will say that Kent has departed for New York and points beyond. His home is in Radnor, his heart in Port Chester, and what time is left he spends in Swarthmore. We have a hard time keeping track of Kent's girls, but he seems ready at any time to defend his choices against all comers, so we think he must have pretty good judgment.
While at College he occupies the seat of honor in Doc Hull's hall of learning on the third floor of Parrish. Kent is also a famous fox hunter and horseman. Whenever he gets sick (of College), he is wont to find his cure in the heat of the chase. In spite of all this, however, he is a jolly good fellow and manages to pull down a one-point average or better upon occasion.

Efficiency and talent are Spencer's strong points, not only scholasti- cally, academically, and athletically, but also socially, as it has been particularly noticed that "Spence" has taken up indoor sports. He holds the exceptional and original record of being the only man in Wharton who has a constitution strong enough to consume six week- day fussing dates and still be on deck for a Sunday "dromedars."

Roscoe calculates in his head and obtains better and more accurate results than a slide rule.
He is endowed with an unusual desire to see the "works" of any- thing that moves, and woe unto any alarm clock or other such imple- ment that falls into his nimble fingers. However, that is but a mark of the great inventor, and if he is not killed in any of his fierce duels, he will probably fulfil the predictions of his many friends and admirers.

"I'm sorry." That is "Si's" commonest expression. When he is not reciting poetry or inflicting quotations of ancient authors upon his fellow students, he is everlastingly doing something for which he is sorry. In selecting all that is fair and beautiful. West Chester could not have found a better one than "Si" to send to Swarthmore. His rosy cheeks and clear complexion have charmed the ladies to such an extent that he now has a mailing-list resembling that of a mail-order house.
Aside from swelling Uncle Sam's mail with love missiles, "Si" is a most active church worker. In fact, he has almost made it a profession. West Chester's moral welfare would suffer a great loss should our "Romeo" be required to reside at the college. Such could hardly be the case, for his domicile overlooks the Normal School, thus affording him great opportunities for the study of the opposite sex which he cherishes most dearly.

If you ever hear anybody "crabbing" in the halls about marks, or if a "hee-haw" rings in your ears, don't look around, because it is only Osier.
However, Howard employs the magnitude of his vocal cords for something else, and as a result every year finds him trying to reach the high notes for the Glee Club. Soccer and baseball take up some of his time, but usually when you want to find him, wander over to Parrish or out along the Crum and look for Miriam.

When you hear "Tell Me Why" being sung, you can bet your last dollar that "Joe" is right there, for that is his favorite hymn.
HOMER LEROY SHANTZ, Jr. Washington, D. C.
Biology
Homer of Grecian fame could sing of heroes and conquered cities, but he knew not such sweet music as Shantz extracts from his "sax." The Swarthmore Homer is one of the African Xylophone stranglers of the Glee Clubs, and the College orchestra (now known as the Garnet Serenaders). He has pretty nearly passed the practice stage of his; Freshman year, so that now when he rehearses in his room there is. enough tune to his maneuvers that the fellows next door can nearly study.
Homer was out for football during his first two years at Swarthmore,. but as Photographic Editor of this book, he spends his spare time this; year taking pictures. He also likes the co-eds very much, but when it comes to the College dances, he is more or less out of luck, as we generally find him seated near the piano tickling the keys of his queer piece of gilded plumbing.

"Bob" comes to us from some little place in the West, and if you should unwittingly remark that you are not acquainted with said village, you are immediately treated with a flow of orator\' which leaves j'ou in doubt as to the greatest city in the world, Paris, London, New York — or Council Bluffs.
Few see him for more than a moment at a time. He w ill be in the midst of a conversation, vanish like a desert breeze, and turn up a few- moments later with a "scoop" for the "Phoenix" or his infant prodigy, "The Swarthmore News." Not finding the College paper an outlet for his thoughts and ideas. Bob became a third owner in the town news sheet and is beginning to know the value of time. Studies? Oh, yes, of course. Now and then his roommates are stunned to see Bob poring over a book, but a search of the calendar reveals that examinations are nigh.
ANNA ELIZABETH SJOSTROM Glenside, Pa.
Latin
Honk! Honk! Clear the road for the lady in the Jewett! Her left hand calmly rests on the wheel. Her right hand clutches a Media "hot dog" without the onions. Her right foot is on the gas. Before, a soft purring sound; aft, a merciless and impenetrable cloud of dust, and from somewhere within, the indignant squawk of a klaxon.
Who is she? Anna Sjostrom! And she's driving Yacob — the Jewett sedan — over to Swarthmore to be educated. Yacob is reading for honors in gasoline. He makes twenty-seven miles on a gallon and can tear up the road at fifty per hour without batting a cylinder.
As for Anna, methinks she should rate a straight three-point average because she can do anything from drying out spark plugs and knocking varsity hockej- goals to playing the violin and reading the classics.

Material: About a yard and a half of the best quality goods; all wool and a yard wide; remarkably fine coloring.
Pattern: Vogue — size fourteen — the newest long and slender lines. Won't fit anybody else.
Occasion: Just the thing for classes — suitable and sensible. The striking color note at a tea. Most attractive for dances. May even be seen at gym classes. The proper thing for any occasion because it's both durable and modish.
GEORGE WILLIAM SPANGLER SwARTHMORE, Pa. Electrical Engineering
George is seldom seen except around Parrish, or on the soccer field during the season. Since he is living at home this year, we have missed the companionship that the village girls have gained. Last year George inhabited Wharton and could not spend as many evenings in "her" company as he desired. Hence his substitution in the ranks of the Asphaltum pounders. This change, however, must have benefited his studies, for he was champion "dumb-bell" last year and now he rivals Jack Donal.
His Chautauqua work is another field where he has gained a cham- pionship. It is related that last summer he did the work of three men and put up the "big top" single handed. This ability in plugging til! he gets what he goes after has characterized George's work on the campus, and as a result he will manage the 1924 soccer team.

FREDERICK HORATIO STARLING, Jr. Alden, Pa. Polilical Science
Although very quiet and unassuming, "Fred" always has a cheery response for anyone who hails him. He came to us in 1921 from the University of Pennsylvania and was soon acclimated to Swarthmore. He is the kind of fellow who would go out of his way to do another a good turn.
We don't know where this young man puts in most of his time, as we see very little of him around College, except when he is dodging in and out of classrooms and occasionally mingling with some of the residents of Parrish. But regardless of his inclination to disappear, those who know him claim he is "A Jolly Good Fellow."
ALFRED STIDHAM
Washington, D. C.
Political Science
Alfred Stidham is the business man of the College. Every night one finds him or one of his numerous assistants selling his light lunch and confectionery for the hard-earned dimes of the students. His greed even extends to the women's dorms where he has other helpers peddling his wares. It is rumored that he is furnishing the new Delta U Lodge with his earnings.
In order to gain more time for his business, "Al" entered the honors group. Whether this noble ideal was realized is doubtful, as he had to hire four more assistants after a month of working for honors. When not coining money, "Al" spends his time with debate, on the business end of the "Phoenix," or batting the elusive rubber on the tennis court. In his Freshman days our youthful hero was popular with the fairer sex, but after one memorable Hallowe'en night, when he rang the fire- bells in Parrish, "Al" has had to seek in vain for feminine kindness.

HOWARD KNEPLEY STRANG Philadelphia, Pa. Mechanical Ejigineering
It has been said many times, and taken for granted, that all small men are either conceited or peculiar. "Shorty" is not conceited, but he is a bit pecuhar. Normal fellows here at College usually do their study- ing between 7 and 11, but not so with "Shorty." He fools around and wastes time until 12 p.m., then gets on the books until about 3 cm. (good morning). He claims he doesn't know what is wrong with him, but he can always study best after midnight. Q.E.D. (the second point of the first sentence is proved).
However, lack of sleep does not prevent "Shorty" from coming across with the goods. He proves the rule that "good goods comes in little packages," for he usually tops a respectable average and is secretary of the Engineers' Club as well as manager of the lacrosse team.
JONATHAN KIRKBRIDE TAYLOR Round Hill, Va.
Biology
"Number, please?" comes a clear, young masculine voice with decided southern twang. It is no other than J. K. Taylor at his avoca- tion, listening in on the College gossip as one of Swarthmore's official telephone centrals. He is an efficient operator, for though only in the exchange one evening a week, he may at any other time be found operat- ing along his own lines. There is never any doubt, however, as to the connections which all lead to one terminal.
If you are in any doubt as to the meaning of the above, ask "J. K." — he won't tell you, but his conduct will indicate a general mental per- turbation due to a vision of Venus in his sky of life. Then ask Blair or any other source of reliable information and you will receive the full particulars of the "case" and may journey on your way with mind at rest.

"Rog" is a confirmed kicker around College, as any soccer ball will testify. He has been one of Coach Dunn's regulars since the first day he reported and is said to be the best goal-tender in the League. Roger claims that he keeps the Chemistry Department out of bankruptcy by paying breakage bills for the rest of the College. He ought to — he gets the A's.
Being a deep thinker as well as athlete, "Rog" requires lots of sleep. But that is natural with him, as he was brought up on it over on a Jersey farm. He doesn't say much around the campus, but he is doing his part in his quiet way. On soccer field or in classroom, he can be counted on to deliver his best.

There was a young lady named "Lib,"
And this story isn't a fib;
She broke out one day.
In a terrible way.
With beauty spots on every rib.
Somebody must have won a Public Ledger limping limeric contest ■with this bit of poetic genius. Yes, poor "Libby" was pathetically quarantined with that most plebeian of diseases — the measles. Cheerio, "Libby," say we, waxing PoUyannaish, at least thee had a temporary escape from Pennsylvania Business Law and the Sunday morning raisin muffins.
FRANCES ELIZABETH WAPLES

A social phenomenon — a girl in the flippant age who is really crazy about her older brother. Frances, typewriting a billet-doux to said brother by the "pick and touch" method far into the night, disturbed Miss Brewster's slumber, who blamed it all on Gladys Cisney — but that is another story.
Perhaps more of us would find more time to worship brothers if we lived in a town like Hammonton with a marriage court where you draw- lots for your husband, and thus give up the merry chase for the elusive male — which Shaw says is woman's only function in the natural world.

"Thank you so much. Miss Bronk (very politely), but I must finish this last two hundred pages of French History. Could I come in about half an hour instead? You see I w'ant to read an education assignment for next week before I go to bed tonight. I don't like to leave things until the last minute."
"Very well, my dear. Embrassez-moi, 7non enjant, and don't be too long. We must have a nice little chat en francais before it is time for your train. Your conversation is such an inspiration to a professor. Au revoir."
CARL JOSEPH WENZINGER Philadelphia, Pa. Mechanical Engineering
A shot in the quiet night — a scream — a clatter of running feet down the iron fire escape, and the success of Carl Wenzinger's College career was assured. Ever since last spring's hair-raising episode, the young hero has been greeted with the same show of awe and respect which would be shown "Buff'alo Bill" if he lived in Wharton.
"Wenz" is also noted as a wlelder of a nasty foil. Nearly any night he can be found with a bird-cage over his head forcing some unfortunate contestant into a corner at the point of one of his willowy swords.
Studies are the principal stumbling-block of "Wenz." Often this young engineer will definitely decide to leave college because of a. disgraceful two point four average. He ought to leave — he doesn't need the education.

"K" comes from Riverton — every Sunday evening. He became in- fected with the deadly Swarthmore malady, the week-end habit, in his Freshman year and has been unable to cure himself of it as yet, though he has tried all the specialists on this disease that Parrish can produce. Yes, "K" is a disciple of Humpton, being a very terror with the women — ask him. He is fertile soil for the shovels of the gold-digging females.
Upon meeting this young man one would think he is very bashful, since his face is always crimson. But after being with him for several years we have found that the blush does not come off — it is his natural color.
Nothing disturbs "K" quite so much as to be alone; he likes company and he likes plenty of it — hence the minus averages. But with all this he is a congenial fellow and is well liked throughout College, Parrish included.

Thirty seconds later, "Wynn" (thus famiharly known) gives an almost perfect recitation, sitting through the remainder of the class with a knowing twinkle in her eye. When the bell rings, she flies out with just time enough to collect Fritter and dash to the Tea-Room, before tearing to make the 1.29. "\Vynn" has all the qualifications of a good social secretary, as she takes and delivers her roommate's numerous phone messages. And this is merely a side issue to her owm extensive communications from Camden.

\\ hen "Tubby" first came to Swarthmore, she was a bit disconcerted by the hustle and bustle of this busy metropolis, but she soon became acclimated and rose from a minus average to (whisper it) almost three point. Likewise, she came forth from the rank and file of Frivolous Freshmen to assume the dignity of a member of Student Exec and Secretary of Somer^ille. She also acquired a most unusual formula for escaping gym. We have often thought it would be nice not to be bothered with any afternoon labor except six hours of Lab. \\ hen ye inquiring reporter meekly requested "Tubby" to elucidate as to how she accomplished these many wonders, quoth she, in the words of the well- known Collection speaker, "Climate."

Sigma Xi
Founded at Cornell Universily in 1886
Swarthmore College was greatly honored last spring by the installation of a chapter of Sigma Xi, the distinguished society for research, thus becoming the first small college in which a chapter has been estab- lished. The Society has the definite purpose of fostering original investigation in science, and offers to the scientific student encouragement and inspiration during the years of preparation by associate membership. Then, when he has demonstrated unusual talent for independent thinking, he will be taken into full member- ship.

Xne Pnoenix
By George W. Stephenson, '24, Editor-in-ChieJ
ONE of the pleasurable duties that comes at the end of each college year is that of making in the "Halcyon" some definite record of the achievements and progress of "The Phoenix." Even when it is only possible to say that the staff has left the weekly in much the same condition they found it, the account is still one of progress, for the paper has become older by another year. However, when it is permitted to tell of innovations and improvements, new ideas and features, increased size and diversity of interests, then the tale is one worth repeating.
Taking over the sheet under adverse circumstances, the staff of Volume 43 has gradually brought "The Phoenix" around to a position from which it should be com- paratively simple for the succeeding editor and staff to carry on. After but two or three weeks in the hands of a new printer, last June, "The Phoenix" has been published regularly each Tuesday of this College year, and has been in the post office earlier than ever before. At the same time, a large debt, running into a few hundreds of dollars, has been consumed, and the present staff is leaving the paper in as good financial condition as it has been for a number of years.
For the last three years there has been evidenced an increase in the interest exhibited in journalism by the women of the student body. This has gone even further than was predicted in the "Halcyon" of last year, as may be shown by the fact that more than half of the fifty candidates from the Freshman class were women. With a staff that ran well over seventy in all, it was natural that methodical reductions were indicated, and the culling was done with an eye always to the subsequent good of "The Phoenix." The best of the candidates were saved, and the less satisfactory were dropped, with the result that the paper has showed a marked improvement in consistency, completeness, and general style. The credit for all this, of course, belongs in the greatest measure to the staff and those candidates who were retained.
Beginning with the fifth, there has been only one issue published which has been less than six pages. This increase in size has been necessary to accommodate two new departments, one for book and the other for play reviews, and the larger number of advertisements.
The cooperation and interest of "The Phoenix" Board has increased materially during the year, one of the notable evidences being the adoption of a definite constitution. The advice and encouragement, and the condemnation as well, have been received with appreciation. The Board has acted with the interests of both "The Phoenix" and of the College always at heart.
And last, but not least, should be mentioned the improvement shown in the circula- tion department. Alumni who have always before complained of the tardiness of "The Phoenix" have been receiving their copies from one to two days earlier than heretofore. This increase in speed has been due entirely to the manner in which the issues have been handled by the women in the circulation department.
So we leave "The Phoenix" — as good as before in most things, we hope; certainly better in some. Our fields of interest have broadened and our scope of activity has
increased, to the betterment of staff and "The Phoenix."

The Fortietn llalcyon
WHEN faced with the responsibihty of making a year book that would be entirely worthy of Swarthmore, the 1925 Staff decided that two phases of Halcyon-makmg could be impro\ed upon. The first was that there should be greater cooperation among the members of the Staff, and second, that the "Halcyon" should be put immediately upon a firm financial basis.
Now that the book is nearly completed, it can be truly said that each individual worked loyally and accepted responsibility for some part of the book. Financially, at the present time, the "Halcyon" is in a very healthy condition. A definite budget of expenditures was made and has not been ex- ceeded. The goal set for advertising has been reached. Now it is hoped that the Editorial Staff has done its work well enough so that the subscriptions expected by the Business Staff will be merited.

The Polity Club is not a departmental club. It is an organization, open to all the students of Swarthmore ■C^oilege, to promote open-minded discussion of social and political questions. With no doctrine of its own, it aims to be a forum in which all shades of opinion are presented by students and by outside speakers.
Among the outstanding speakers of the year were: Private Peat, who stripped war of its glory as "The Inexcusable Lie of the Centuries"; Dr. G. VV. Kirchwey and Mrs. Kate O'Hare, who revealed deplorable prison conditions; and Mr. Archibald Viekers, who, as a member of the National Industrial Conference Board, has contributed to the peaceful settlement of many industrial disputes.
The Polity Club is affiliated with the National Student Forum, through which it comes in contact with similar clubs in twenty other leading colleges and universities.

THE WHARTON CLUB Is an organization of all men who are not affiliated with Swarthmore fraternities. Throughout its two and a half years of existence, the Club, in accordance with its purposes, has aided new students in finding their places in the College, has brought about greater activit}^ on the part of its under- graduates, has urged and shown the advantages of greater participation in College life, has discussed College problems, crystallized the opinions of its members, and acted accordingly, as far as its powers would permit. It has endeavored to encourage non- fraternity alumni to return to their Alma Mater more frequently and to provide for their welcome and entertainment.
In order that these aims might be more fully realized, a number of definite steps have been taken during the past year, the foremost of which is the establishment of an alumni association. The Wharton Club Torch has been adopted as the emblem of the Club, but the wearing of it is limited to such members as have met certain specified requirements based on scholastic standing, service to the Club, and participation in College activities. The Club's present room in Wharton Hall has been fitted up and furnished to provide for the comfort and entertainment of the members, until such time as the Club shall occupy its proposed lodge among the College Cloisters.

GLEE AND INSTRUMENTAL CLUBS
UNDER the capable leadership of the new director, Judson D. Eldridge, and Manager Chester A. Zucker, '24, the Swarthmore Musical Clubs were able to complete a most successful season. Their programs were received everywhere with enthusiasm, and especially notable among them were the concerts at Atlantic City and at New York. At Atlantic City, the Clubs twice entertained audiences at the Chalfonte-Haddon Hall, and in New York at the Hotel Plaza, under the auspices of the Swarthmore Club of that city.
Performances were given at Millburn, Chester, and Swarthmore at the Women's Club, followed by the crowning event of the musical calendar, the combined concert with the Haverford College Glee and Instrumental Clubs in Collection Hall. The pro- gram of that evening was followed by a formal dance in the College dining-rooms, which was entirely successful in taking the place of the Prom of the previous year.

Glee Club
THE season of 1923-24 has been a most successful one for the Women's Glee Club. The annual Spring Concert was held April 11, in Parrish Hall, and an appreciative audience enjoyed a very well-rendered program. Among the numbers were the "Morning Hymn" by George Henschel, "The Song of the Shepherd Lehl" and the "Song of India," by N. Rimsky-Korsakow, and "The Spring Beauties" by George W. Chadwick. Miss Helen Kressley played several piano solos and the Club was assisted by Mr. Lucius Cole, formerly of the Philadelphia Orchestra, whose rendition of several violin numbers contributed to the interest of the program.
The Glee Club gave two numbers, the "Morning Hymn" and "The Spring Beauties" as part of the program of Somerville Day, April 12. A short concert was broadcast toward the end of the season.

Commenceinent Play
SO ENCHANTING and so elusive that it almost seemed like a dream come true, was the performance of "A Midsummer Night's Dream," the commence- ment play of the class of 1923. Sur- rounded by tall trees through which the breezes blew continually, and with countless fairies dancing on the stage before them, the audience was almost persuaded that it was back in Shakespeare's England.
George Myrick, in the role of "Bottom," the fat, old weaver the fairies change into an ass, played "The Perfect Fool" in a way to fully justify his long ears and make his conversations with "Flute," portrayed by Henry Howell, a classic comedy.
Elsie Brown, as "Helena," and Roselynd Atherholt, as "Hermia," were true Ehzabethan ladies through the many trials and triumphs of their fairy-taught love affairs. Anna Roberts, as "Titania, the Queen of the Fairies," and Robert Holmes, as the mischievous "Puck," held both sprites and mortals under their magic spell.
Directed by Brette Crapster Lucas, '15, and managed by Earl Thoenen, the entire production became a Swarthmore June Night worth dreaming over.

DRAMATICS at Swarthmore occupy a prominent position in the activities of the undergraduates. During the past j^ear all the efforts on Collection stage were well received, and the student body as a whole showed increased interest in the pro- ductions. The Little Theatre Club is an organization which fosters interest in amateur dramatics and tends to uphold the fine reputation the College has made along these Hnes. The major part of the theatrical productions staged on the campus are handled by this organization. The Club elects its members from students who have shown marked abihty in dramatic work.

Tke One-Act Plays
T'
'HE class in the One-Act Play inaugurated a new era of the "Curtain Theatre" with the pres- entation of a bill of five plays, carefully chosen and adequately staged. "Joint Owner's in Spain" gave EHzabeth White and Elizabeth Hamilton excellent opportunity for true characteri- zations of the unfortunate inmates of an old ladies' home. The play was excellently managed by Ehzabeth Pollard. "The Birthday Party," coached ll^^^l by Anne Hunt, showed careful handling of a large cast; and an interlude, bj' Edna St. Vincent Millay, called "Two Slatterns and a King," was presented under the direction of Catherine Wilson. Barrie's "Twelve Pound Look" was a good amateur effort on the part of the coach, Carolyn Krusen, and the cast, which included Inez Coulter as "Kate," Helen Kressley as "Lady Sims," and Frederick Musselman as "Sir Harry." The last and most effective play of this bill was "Spreading the News," an Irish play by Lady Gregory. Chester Zucker directed a large cast of character parts with unusual care. Alice Schrack as "Mrs. Fallon," Virginia Smith as "Mrs. Tarpey," and Edward Bartlett as "Barkley Fallon," will long be remembered.
The second group of One-Act Plays contained as an outstanding feature "The Marriage Proposal" by Anton Chekov. Edward Bartlett's sympathetic characterization must be noted, while credit is due to Chester Zucker for the unusually attractive stage setting. A fairy tale with a moral, under the enig- matic title "Six Who Pass While Lentils Boil," illustrated Elizabeth Pollard's conscientious train- ing of a large cast. A series of three short plays, entitled "Daily Bread," was coached by Anne Hunt and Catherine Wilson. Depicting respectively a fisherman's cottage, the home of a coal-miner, and the tenement room of a factory worker, they ex- pressed a sense of fatalism and futility. Marjorie Barclay as the demented factory girl was particularly

good while Inez Coulter and Lloyd Goman showed un- expected ability. The final play, "Columbine," was a fan- tastic relief with Elizabeth White in the role of the charm- ing maid.
The third program included four plays by celebrated authors, each representative of some phase of the Little Theatre Movement. "The Play- goers," by Pinero, a farce directed by Catherine Wilson, furnished uproarious amuse- ment in the spectacle of a well-meaning mistress patronized by her superior servants. Maeterhnck's "The Intruder" gained its effect through an artistic setting and the admirable acting of Livingston Blair. It was coached by Anne Hunt. EHzabeth Pollard scored the year's triumph in setting and costumes for "Followers" by Harold Brighouse. All the properties and dresses used were authentic of the period. The closing play, "The Dark Lady of the Sonnets," by George Bernard Shaw, showed the greatest under- standing of the underlying satire and the best interpretation of lines thus far. Marjorie Barclay as "Queen Elizabeth," and Edward Bartlett as "Shakespeare," sustained the comedy by the zest of their repartee. Carolyn Krusen was the coach.
In all the productions, much of the effectiveness of setting was due to lighting pro- vided by James Maffitt, and to the kindness of friends in lending properties. A survey of the year's presentations shows a greater diversity of type and further development in characterization than heretofore. The Little Theatre at Swarthmore continues to grow.

" The NV nite-rTeaded Boy
SPOILED boys are nothing in comparison with Horace Smith, '27, as a "White- Headed Boy." Nor is a fond mother, wrapped up in the welfare of her child, to be compared with "Mrs. Geoghan," in the person of Lucile Buchanan, '26.
About the "White-Headed Boy" — his trials, troubles, and tribulations — cluster a series of interesting characters. The Little Theatre Club showed excellent taste in picking the cast for their annual production, and each character made a good support for this singularly spoiled youth. He is Irish and his Irish family, his Irish friends, and Irish temperament are the attractive features of Lennox Robinson's comedy.
Alice Schrack, '24, as "Aunt Ellen," and Robert Graham, '26, in the character of Aunt Ellen's erstwhile doting swain, scored perhaps the biggest success of the evening. Holland Williamson, '24, as the elder brother, handles his very difficult role in good form. Clifford Barnes, '24, Alice Dickey, '26, Virginia Smith, '24, and Dorothy Evans, '24, were the sacrificing brothers and sisters, all weary of relinquishing their hopes and ambitions for "Denis." Isabelle Fritts, '24, excellently portrayed "Hanna," the inane servant girl and her toothlessness combined with straggling grey locks, to perfection. Ruth Gourley, '26, fiancee of young Denis, played a minor part with sincerity and individuality.
The Little Theatre Club may well be congratulated on its production of "The White- Headed Boy." The stage setting and lighting effects were realistically Irish, and the costuming helped to transport the actors into their proper clime.

SWARTHMORE, during the past year, has once more proved her leadership in forensic activities. The Debate Board has not only confined all of the debating done by its representatives to the open forum system, which was introduced into this country last j'ear by Oxford University, but it has also carried this system into the South and Middle West.
Debates, under the open forum system, are either won or lost according to the approval or disapproval of the audience at the termination of the debate. Swarthmore - has, however, made a change for the better in the Enghsh system by giving the members of the audience two duplicate numbered votes. One of them is cast upon entering the auditorium, and the other upon leaving. By this method the change in the opinions of the assembly can best be judged.
In spreading the open forum system of debating, the Garnet orators have completed the biggest schedule that Swarthmore has ever faced. After meeting Oxford University, in the second annual contest with the English debaters, Swarthmore met successively Rutgers, Princeton, Trinity, the triangle debate with Bucknell and Gettysburg, and completed the season with George Washington, Pittsburgh, and Ohio Wesleyan. The trip to Pittsburgh and Ohio Wesleyan was the longest one ever taken by any Garnet team.
The subject of the first two contests was based on the occupation of the Ruhr Valley. The possibility of abolishing paid coaches in college athletics was the subject of dis- cussion at Princeton. The remainder of the debates were divided between the questions limiting the powers of the Supreme Court and discussion of the World Court Plan.

Debate
FORENSIC activity among Swarthmore women has never before been of such vital interest. Teams featuring the new open forum style of debate have met with colleges at some distance from Philadelphia appearing for the first time on the Swarthmore schedule.
On February 29, Gladys Cisney, '24, Lucile Buchanan, '26, and Alice Dickey, '26, composed a team which debated New Jersey College for Women at Swarthmore on the question, "Resolved: That the present immigration law should be re-enacted." Catherine Garner, '24, and Catherine Fitzhugh, '24, met Temple University on March 7 on the question, "Resolved: That the United States should enter the World Court under Secretary Hughes' reservations."
March 14 and 15, Gladys Cisney and Catherine Garner represented Swarthmore at Syracuse and Cornell respectively on the same subject. The last debate of the season was with George Washington University on March 29 with Alice Dickey, '26, Dorothy Wagner, '26, and Marion Palmenberg, '27.
A Freshman team selected from eight candidates was composed of Margaret Lewis, Elizabeth Winchester, and Gertrude Whetzel. On February 15, this team met George School on the issue, "Resolved: That France should immediately withdraw her mihtary forces from the occupied Ruhr territory."

ANOTHER gay and festive, yet also solemn, Commencement Week marked the
/-\ graduation of the class of Nineteen Hundred Twenty-Three. Its close saw
the graduation of the initial group of Honor Students and the first year of the
Open Scholarships; it witnessed the beginning of the Fraternity Group plan of lodges.
The progress of the College in the past year, the hopes for its future, the spirit of the
alumni, and the seriousness and importance of the Seniors were the outstanding features
of the graduation.
On Class Day the festivities were opened by speeches and the humorous presenta- tion of gifts to its members, by the Senior class, in the afternoon. The customary lantern parade and the rendering of "Midsummer Night's Dream" by the graduating class featured the evening entertainment.

Under a smiling sun and clear sky the alumni paraded to the baseball field where the class of 1913 took first prize with a clever radio skit; thus commenced all-important Alumni Day. The defeat of the Muhlenberg baseball nine and the Annual Alumni Dinner also received their full share of attention from the visitors and undergraduates.
Dr. Elbert Russell deHvered the Baccalaureate Sermon upon the subject, "A Certain Man." Just as twihght was falling, William A. Limberger gave the Ivy Oration after the traditional planting of the Ivy.
Commencement Day arrived at last. Honorary degrees were conferred upon three prominent alumni: David B. Rushmore, '94, Henry C. Turner, '93 and Edward B. Temple, '91, in the exercises held in the outdoor auditorium. Following this. Dr. Frederick Keppel spoke on the very timely subject, "A Life That Is Worth Living."
Preceding the presentation of A.B. degrees to the class of 1923, which closed the exercises, the Ivy Medal was awarded to Arthur Rawson, and Isabelle Fussell was the: recipient of the Oak Leaf Medal.

THE position of Swarthmore College in the scienti- fic world has been greatly enhanced and one more well-earned glory added to her name by the work of the Sproul Observatory Eclipse Expedi- tion during the summer of 1923. In the tiny village of Yerbanis, in Mexico, situated directly in the center of the path of totality, the greatest of nature's phenomena was observed, and results were obtained which sur- passed those of all the many other expeditions which observed the eclipse.
Dr. John A. Miller, the Director of the Sproul Observatory, headed the expedition, which was com- posed chiefly of Swarthmoreans. Ten of the little party of sixteen were connected with Swarthmore, and in- cluded Dr. and Mrs. Miller and their grandson; Dr. and Mrs. Ross W. Marriott and their daughter; Dr. Win- throp R. Wright, and three students. Earl Williams, '24, George Clothier,'26, and Bevan Sharpless,'26.
Such an expedition has never before been so com- pletely equipped, and in the world of science it is recognized as the greatest that has ever been organized. Ten lenses, some two- and some four-piece, enabled the expedition to take forty-two pictures on cameras that varied in focal length from sixty inches to sixty feet. Two movie cameras assured a complete record of every phase of the phenomenon, and two spectroscopes were used to analyze the ordinarily invisible stratas of the solar atmosphere. An interferometer was used to determine the composition of the sun's corona by means of inference bands, a process devised recently by Dr. Wright, of Swarthmore, which has never before been attempted.
Although the eclipse lasted for only three minutes, six weeks of labor in Mexico were spent in preparation by the eleven men of the party, and even this period

-was Just enough to assure that all was in readiness. A fifty-foot tower was erected for ihe large lens and a sixty-foot tube constructed from the top of the tower at a particular angle to the ground darkroom where the plates were exposed. Cement piers had to be laid, and two large Einstein cameras for confirming the Einstein theory had to be assem- bled, hoisted into position, adjusted, and carefully lined to keep out the Ught. Lenses worth thousands of dollars had to be installed, focused, and collinated, and a dozen smaller instruments constructed and set in place. Calculations of extreme exactitude were made, and trial plates were exposed.
During the last ten days, one rain after another was a constant cause of worriment, for even a single cloud at the time of the eclipse would mean failure. Weeks of labor

would have been for naught and much valuable scientific information lost. Unsettled weather conditions still prevailed, even on the morning of the eclipse, and numerous, clouds made chances of success look doubtful. Fortune favored the expedition for, although the results were marred to some extent by the passage of thin translucent clouds over the silhouetted moon, thej;^ disappeared in time to allow the astronomers to obtain, to a large extent, the desired results.
Just one hundred and eighty-nine seconds elapsed between the moment when the moon completely hid the sun from view until it reappeared. In this short lapse of time Dr. Miller and his associates made a contribution to science which will never be for- gotten and of which Swarthmore College will always be proud.

Silver Bay Conference
THE largest delegation that ever represented Swarth- more College attended the Annual Intercollegiate Y. M. C. A. Conference at Silver Bay, on Lake George, during the week of June 13-20. Swarthmore has been represented at the conference since 1919, usually by about three delegates, but last year a Silver Bay Fund, contributed by the Y. M. C. A., by alumni and friends of jyTv-iis/^ I : %i ■the College, enabled eight delegates to enjoy the benefits
^E' 4 frJ^ii^ of this annual gathering of college men.
^W' -4 »»«*'i:'ffl! Over four hundred men from about ninety colleges and
universities in the East met to discuss and solve problems
which have to be confronted on the various campuses.
Inspired by the wonderful natural surroundings at Silver
^ ' ' Bay and by stimulating talks by such prominent speakers
as Henry Sloan Coffin, A. Herbert Gray, Raymond Petty, Arthur Nash, Robert E.
Speer, Raymond Robbins, Roger Baldwin, and Harry Haines, these young men left
the conference with a new desire to accomplish things really worth while.
The Garnet representatives played a prominent part in the athletic activities, which included baseball and volley-ball games, a track and a swimming meet, and a tennis tournament. The singles championship in tennis was won by Hanson H. Hodge, '26, and the delegation contributed to the success of stunt night by some college songs and a clever rope act with Chester G. A. Zucker, '24, starring.
Those who attended the conference were Richmond P. Miller, '24, president; Chester G. A. Zucker, '24, vice-president; Marvin Y. Burr, '25, secretary; Benjamin R. Burdsall, '25, Edward A. Green, '24, K. Payne Martin, '24, Earl L. Williams, '24, and Hanson H. Hodge, '26.

"Oh, here's Peg! Now we have the whole crowd. We're recollecting. Peg! 'Halcyon' wants to hear about Eagles Mere. We don't know what to write, but it's fun remember-
ing!"
"We ought to tell them about Peg being so important and getting her mail with the executives and making Student Government laws" — from Ann.
"Sure, and how we got the best room in the hotel just because we had the President of Student Government of the Conference. How about the night we came in late and the Ohio girls spied on us!"
"I wish we could describe our singing in the dining-room. Betty always saying 'We have to show we're on the map.' Wasn't it awful. Four of us trying to sing 'Cornell may have her royal red' while those Pitt girls were bellowing their peppy songs."
"It was bad enough with the four of us, but you should have heard the three of us after you were laid up. It was even more pitiful."
"Weren't those Hood girls peaches? Do you ever hear from them? Wish we could have a reunion some time."
"I always felt that conference was a taste of college hfe without the study. The meetings were hke interesting classes and the afternoons were so free for fun."
"Gladys was the one that had the recreation! Breaking her knee at tennis! How about that trip home! Wasn't that a circus?"
"Ann swinging the red lantern while the brakeman and porter carried Gladys! And then a 'piggy-back' down the car."
"But about the 'Halcyon.' If we tell 'em nothing but the fun, they'll think we were great delegates."
"Well we really did get a lot of good out of it. It certainly was interesting to meet so many darhng girls, and the leaders were great."
"And the meetings, discussions, and lectures were surely worth while. I only wish we had more girls so we could have spread around a little."
"Well, what of the 'Halcyon' ? "

Athletics Past and Present
TO GIVE a fair and accurate review of the history of athletics at Swarthmore, doing justice to each branch, would fill a complete volume; however, in the short space afforded here, some idea of the gradual development, the popularity and the outstanding years, teams and men can be given in outline form.
Starting from the opening of College in 1869, the history of sport falls into several divisions. Up until about 1880, the importance of any organized athletics was not very great because the College was just getting on its feet. About the time of the adoption of an Athletic Constitution in 1882, various forms of athletic activity were being started and given impetus.
In the days when bicycle riding was an outstanding feature at the track meet, an article in "The Phoenix" for May of '82, says that "the bicyclers plowing through the mud presented a ludicrous spectacle" at one of the meets. At this time the two main sports were track and the old-style football which possessed none of the modern features of play, such as the forward pass. It was carried on in plain push-and-pull style on a larger field and with forty-five minute halves.
By the year '85 athletic activities had become well grounded. For the fourth suc- cessive year, the Freshman class had defeated the Haverford Freshmen in football. The class of '89, while still yearlings, also "beat Penn" 35-0 at the pigskin game. The Sophomore class played teams of other schools, too.
Not only did men's athletics play a prominent part in College life, but girls' tennis matches were established and run for the benefit of the co-eds, and later hockey, too, was brought in. The school paper at this time exhorted the students to get away from their lazy habits and improve Swarthmore sports. It also advocated class rowing teams on the Crum.
Allied class games were an important part of the sporting life. For example, the classes of '86 and '88 might be arrayed against the combination of '87 and '89 in one of the prevailing sports. Class hockey on the Crum was a favorite form of winter athletics.
Shortly after this time, handicap races in track received great interest. They were conducted in much the same way that Coach Tomlinson ran the handicap swimming meets the past season. A "Phoenix" for '95 reports that $100 was appropriated for procuring sweaters, jerseys, and stockings for uniforming the first squad football men and a permanent cheering committee of three was appointed.
Dr. J. K. Shell was the great director of Swarthmore sports who helped lay the founda- tion for their present sound basis. Up until the middle of the nineties, lacrosse had been played to get men in condition for track, but such good material was discovered that "Doc" Shell decided to institute it as a regular game at the College. As a result, the
[209]
SWAR^HMG)S:& "^aMl ""(ro'Di:i}Ep E
^^4HALCVON ^i^K»'TWENTY~FIVE m5
characteristic feature of this second period of athletics was begun for lacrosse and class teams were formed. Thus is the second step in Swarthmore's athletic development nearly completed: first, none or shght participation; second, interclass competition, broadly speaking; and then intercollegiate activities.
Roughly estimated, the dawn of the twentieth century marked the third step upward in Swarthmore's athletics, by increased participation in and more varied kinds of sports, especially intercollegiate. The year 1898 saw the first Col- lege lacrosse team, while five years later a basketball quintet sprang up and played several intercollegiate games. Baseball, completing the list of five major sports, had its origin in 1909.
During this period, football enjoyed great prosperity. In '98 the Garnet eleven won nine out of eleven games, maintaining an almost equally high average down to 1907, except for 1902. Cornell, Navy, and Penn were among the victims of Swarthmore onslaughts. Lacrosse, also at its glory, won the American intercollegiate championship in '04 and the United States Championship in '05.
There was presented to the College the Jeanes fund, which was the offer for a large donation, estimated in the millions, to be given the College if it would cease its inter- collegiate relations in athletics. The College, however, refused the donation and also declined to adopt the policy of dropping intercollegiate sports. Football was dropped during the year 1908 but resumed the following season.
Beginning with the second decade of the twentieth century, basketball and lacrosse again turned out some of the best teams in their history. From 1910-13 the lacrosse teams once more reached an apex in their development, winning the United States Championship, for the second time, in 1910. At the same time, the basketball five represented the Garnet on the court with distinction. In 1911 it won nine out of twelve games, losing once by only one point and twice by narrow margins. For eight successive years the Little Quaker courtmen defeated Penn in their annual clash.
A further era of expansion took place about 1912, after "Doc" Shell had left; "Doc" Palmer took up the duties of graduate manager, and two years later "Doc" Mercer assumed his duties as director of athletics. Though the net amount earned by football was only $100 in '12, soon larger profits began to accrue, so that football money was used to help support most of the minor sports. In 1923, the net profits of football reached $5,000 in spite of the fact that the equipment of each one of the eighty candidates cost about $40.
As basketball was acclaimed in greater style by the building of the Hall Gymnasium, so the erection of Sharpies Pool, a decade ago, aroused interest in swimming. This winter sport grew until the years '18 and '19, and no great advancement has taken place since. This past year, the installation of handicap swimming races has brought out a much
[210]
9k HAL CVQN fgl^^iai» 'TWENTY- FIVE ^9^^
larger squad than ever before, and it has uncovered and developed some swimmers of abiHty.
About 1915 the eligibihty rules were adopted, the Athletic Committee was formed, and the College began to join numerous leagues. The new outdoor athletic fields greatly aided in stimulating interest in athletic achievement. It is reported that when track was one of the two big sports at College, that the men practiced running on Chester Road, and that at one time a mile record was estabHshed there.
About seven years ago, soccer secured a foothold at Swarthmore, and for the past four or five years stiff schedules have been played; twice the league championship has been annexed by the Garnet hooters. Tennis, too, has exhibited a remarkable growth since its instigation, not many years ago. Last season's undefeated team was the cHmax of an upward struggle for recognition which was finally secured without the aid of a coach.
Nor has the great national sport been lacking in support. For the past two years the baseball nines have won about three-fourths of the contests in which they have engaged. Several graduates of diamond teams now play professional baseball and "Curly" Ogden, '11, has become a big-leaguer.
In selecting the outstanding athletes of College history, a host of luminaries present themselves. Dr. Walter Roberts, '90, was the iron man of track for his time. "Bill" Sproul, "Ed" Temple, both of '91, and J. Murray, '92, who played baseball and cap- tained football, were a group of famous athletes.
"Sam" Palmer, '95, won many a football game and showed his heels to many a competitor on the cinders in the "good old days." "Bob" Manley, '97, was one of the two Swarthmore students to place first in an intercollegiate track meet. "Bob" piloted his bicycle to first place in the two-mile ride.
"Archie" Turner, "Tom" Hall, and the "Roberts boys" were outstanding lacrosse men when the Indian game was at its height. "Bill" Krueger, '09, deserves credit as a notable track man who twice placed first at the intercollegiate meets in '07 and '08 by his remarkable shot-putting. "Fred" Donelly, '18, "Allie" Cornog, '19, "Bill" Kemp, '21, and "Jack" White, ex-'22, are four stars whose names shine in basketball, football, track, and soccer respectively for their distinguished ability in these fields.
"Pard" Larkin, "Fred" Geig, and "Les" Asplundh are men of more recent date who stand out for their work as three-letter men while in College. L. G. Bradford, '11, is the present holder of the half-mile run record; he was also a member of the Gillam- Lewis-Hess-Bradford relay team, coached by "Doc" Palmer, which established a College record of 3:28f for the mile. Many other shining lights on track, field, and court have ably upheld the reputation of their Alma Mater and it is to be regretted they cannot be mentioned here.
[211]

The present system of intra-mural and interclass games provide recreation and sport for many who would not otherwise get a chance to participate. And now that the Varsity teams in the five major and three minor sports are so well established, the College is taking another forward step in arranging games for the second or Junior Varsity and Freshman teams. Thus the authorities carry out the program of having as many students as possible participate in some athletic recreation. Last year 225 out of the 250 men at Swarthmore were members of some athletic squad, so that no sport has been developed to the exclusion of any members of the student body.
As in every well-balanced coeducational institution, women's athletics should keep pace with the men's, so at Swarthmore, baseball in the olden days, hockey, basketball, field events, swimming, tennis, gym, and May Day provide for the physical develop- ment of women. Perhaps too httle space has been herein devoted to the women. Though their athletics have not played such a large part pubhcly, it is every bit as important to the College.
With the present excellent equipment, the hope for a new gym and soccer field for the men and the commencement of a hockey field and tennis courts for the women, ath- letics will continue to play its part in developing well-rounded Swarthmore undergradu- ates as in the past. It is also expected that other trophies and honors, such as, at various times, the winning of three firsts and three seconds at the intercollegiate track meets, the acquiring of the Middle Atlantic States Track Cup, the defeating of Oxford, Eng- land, in lacrosse, and the victory over Temple in girls' basketball, may add to Swarthmore's fame and glory.

1923 Football Review
THE football season of 1923 will long stand out in Swarthmore grid history as not only one of the most successful but also the most sensational in recent years. It is not often that the ball is carried 104 yards for a touchdown, nor do we often find forward passes of 40 and 50 yards scoring points in the closing minutes of a game. Such flashes of the sensational and thrilling appear throughout this year's enviable record of steady, dependable playing.
Five games won, two lost, and one tied are the results of the past season. But this only tells a part of the story. The mighty stand made against Penn and the plucky fight against the Princeton Tiger, powerful and embittered by previous defeat, will long be remembered in the hearts of Garnet rooters. On the whole, the team, with seven veteran linemen playing, was the strongest defensive combination that Dr. Mercer has coached here at Swarthmore. The offense was admittedly not up to par at the outset, but in the Muhlenberg game and others later in the season, when the momentum had once started, the Garnet attack was overwhelming.
When we consider that the 1923 team faced as hard a schedule as any recent Swarthmore team has had to play, we can give it all the more credit for its achieve- ments. In many games the odds were against the Little Quakers, but not once did they fail to uphold the pride and honor of Swarthmore's name. Victories were tallied over Ursinus, Susquehanna, Muhlenberg, Stevens, and Haverford; Franklin and Mar- shall skipped away with a 6-6 tie; and the two defeats were suffered at the hands of

Pennsylvania and Princeton. Of all the games played, the tie with Frankhn and Mar- shall and the large score of the Princeton game alone disappointed the Garnet root- ers, for the playing against these two teams was not up to the mark set in the games with Penn and Muhlenberg.
This year, at last, a record-breaking turnout answered Coach Mercer's call for recruits, and an average squad of sixty-fne to seventy men reported for daily drill throughout the season. Following the system inaugurated last year, the men were divided into two squads. The first twenty-five men, comprising the Varsity squad, were under the instruction of Coach Mercer and Line Coach Ward. Frank Fitts, Assis- tant Physical Director, and \Mniam Kelly, both former Swarthmore grid men, handled the scrub teams.
These "fightin' scrubs," as they were called, developed into an efficient team before the close of the season. In their three scheduled games with prep schools in the vicinity, they showed not only determination and teamwork but an offense and defense which was exceptionally strong. At least, they could be counted on to give the Varsity a stiff battle any time they were called to do so.
Captain "Moose" Wilcox and his warriors opened the season with a close victory over Ursinus, 6-0. For three periods Allie Cornog's well-coached eleven, which had the previous Saturday held Columbia to two touchdowns, successfully baffled the Garnet attack. However, in the last quarter, "Ned" Wilcox, the outstanding star of the game, plunged through the heart of the Red and Black defense for eight yards and a touch- down. Evans' open field gains and Dotterer's punting were indications of the future strength of these men. 1218]

During the week that followed, hard work and grim preparations for the annual tattle at Franklin Field were completed. It was a game that will never be forgotten by the five thousand \oya.l Swarthmoreans who saw it. Evans' famous 104-yard run, which turned a Red and Blue touchdown into a Garnet score, Dotterer's drop kick, which gave Swarthmore the lead in the third period, and the courage and determination of every man that played, are only a few outstanding performances of the courageous Little Quakers on that day.
Penn won the game by a cleverlj^ executed pass in the third quarter which netted ihem a touchdown. It was a heartbreaking game to lose, for victory had been almost •certain for the first three quarters. The final score read 13-10, a true indication of the battle that took place before the forty thousand spectators who blackened the stands.
The inevitable slump which always follows the superhuman efforts put forth in a Penn game. was plainly evident when only nine points were scored against the weak Susquehanna team at Selinsgrove. A tight defensive game was able to hold the small gains of the offense and three drop-kicks from Dotterer's toe were the only scoring of the day.
Franklin and Marshall held Coach Mercer's men to a 6-6 tie in the Founders' Day game on October 27. "Pete" Richards, the yearling center, came into the limelight by scoring Swarthmore's points, when, on intercepting a pass in the closing minutes of the first half, he ran seventy yards for a touchdown. Franklin and Marshall was equally lucky in its touchdown which was scored as a result of obtaining a fumbled punt on the Garnet 40-yard line.

Quakers have had for several years. The pick of Old Nassau's men started the game and the Tiger was fighting to redeem its prestige which had previously suffered at the hands of Notre Dame and the Navy. Swarthmore fought gamely against the onslaught of their heavy opponents, but five times the pigskin was rushed across their goal-line. In the closing moments of the game, two passes, from Wilcox to Dotterer and to Evans, netted a first down on Princeton's 44-yard line. On the next play, Limberger raced down the field and received a long pass from Wilcox on the 10-yard fine, and, shaking off a Tiger tackier, stumbled across the goal-fine for Swarthmore's only points. The final score, 35-6, was, perhaps, a disappointment in some ways, but it maintained the Garnet record for never having been held scoreless by their stronger Jersey rivals.
This overwhelming defeat served to rouse the fighting spirit of the team, for it reached the peak of its off'ensive and defensive playing against the widely heralded Muhlenberg eleven, November 10, on Swarthmore Field. A fumble in the first quarter sent the Red and Gray into a 7-0 lead. This roused the Garnet fighting blood, and even before the Allentown supporters had quieted. Captain Wilcox and his mates were driving steadily down the field. A touchdown was scored in eight downs after the kick-off. This drive was consistently maintained for the rest of the game, and the final score, 32-7, was a satisfying revenge for last year's unexpected defeat. "Pete" Richards again starred on the defense, while "Ned" Wilcox, Evans, and Dotterer were prominent in the driving attack.
It was with the same fighting spirit that the Little Quakers handed Stevens a 21-0 trimming the week following, at Hoboken. Wilcox, the star Garnet fullback, scored all

three touchdowns and played a notable defensive game. The Garnet line was im- pregnable, and Stevens was unable to gain through straight football. However, the Hoboken team fought gamely, and this alone prevented Coach Mercer's men from roIHng. up a larger score.
Swarthmore spirit rose high in the week that followed, for Haverford has always proved itself a power to be respected. At least, it did this year, on November 24. Frantically and courageously the Red and Black warriors fought against a superior foe, but to no avail. The Main Liners were determined and, perhaps, the Garnet was over- confident, for, certainly Swarthmore did not gather the momentum of its two previous games. In the opening quarter, Dotterer's toe placed his seventh drop-kick between the goal-posts and later it was a 37-yard ofF-tackle run by Wilcox and a pass from the Garnet fullback to Evans that scored the first touchdown. The second half was rather slow, with neither team gaining much ground, until, in the last two seconds of the game, the most sensational play of all took place. On the last play, Wilcox recovered a bad pass from center and shaking off four Red and Black tacklers hurled the pigskin 55 yards — think of it — into the waiting arms of Korn, the fleet Garnet end, who dashed swiftly across the Orthodox goal-line just as the final whistle was blowing. Swarthmore won, 17-0; but not by half the predicted score. It was, however, a fair indication of the playing of the two teams. , ,,
The victory over Haverford marked the last game for only six of the twenty 1923 letter men. These six Seniors, though, are all veterans of two or more years, and they leave large vacancies, especially in the line. Captain Wilcox played a strong game at

tackle and proved himself a leader of few words but great deeds. Dotterer, whose steady, level-headed generalship guided the team through many difficulties, will be missed, not only at quarterback but also in the department of drop-kicking. Knauer, the 154-pound wild-cat of the line, and Shoemaker, a dependable guard, leave high marks to be reached by the new men. Long and Miller also played their last game, and will be greatly missed.
Despite these losses, there is a fine nucleus upon which to build for next year, with fourteen letter men returning. Evans and Wilcox, with the two freshmen, Sheller and Unger, have had Varsity experience in the backfield. Captain-elect Korn, Limberger, and Seymour are veteran ends, while Howard, Koehnline, Ogden, and Swope will ably fill the vacant line positions.

THE 1924 basketball season, from the viewpoint of games won and lost, was not a success, for out of fourteen the Garnet held the advantage in the scoring column only three times. But considered in the light of Swarthmore traditions, the team upheld the Garnet standards with a true fighting spirit — it did not weaken with defeat and in the end once more triumphed, as of old, over the Red and Black of Haverford.
The team's playing was not, on the whole, consistent. Poor form was often exhibited against mediocre teams, while, against those of high calibre, good passing, shooting, and teamwork were invariably displayed. An example of the latter was given at West Point where Swarthmore lost by 7 points to a team that had played together intact for three years and was ranked among the best in the country. Lehigh and New York University, with record-breaking quintets, also had a hard fight before they were able to snatch victory from the Garnet. In the Pennsylvania -game the team showed both brands of basketball. During the first half, Swarthmore carried the fight into the Red and Blue territory and led for fifteen minutes; then in the final period the passing was ragged, the shooting inaccurate, and as a result but 2 points were scored. Variations in the line-up seemed to have a reviving effect toward the middle of the season, but with this came the resulting lack of coordination.
Four letter men and three others who had seen Varsity service reported to Coach Kelchner at the beginning of the season, and, after two weeks of practice, Lebanon Valley was met at Swarthmore in the initial contest. The teamwork was poor and long shots were resorted to, the game ending 15-12 in favor of the visitors.
The balcony in the Hall Gymnasium was condemned after this contest, so that the Mary Lyon School gymnasium had to be obtained for the Princeton game to accommodate the large crowd. The game was fast, but the passing of the Orange and Black was too much for the Swarthmore quintet, and the contest ended in a 37-19 defeat for the Garnet. Captain Wood played well for Swarthmore, while Klaess and Cleaves were outstanding for Princeton.
Following this came the comparatively close defeat by the West Point cadets, 31-24. Franklin and Marshall next visited the Swarth- more court and was the first victim of the Garnet. The game was marked by exceptionally close guarding, and many long shots were attempted. Swarthmore's passing was the best shown in any game so far and greatly surpassed that of the Lancaster five, the final score being 20-13. Captain Wood and Evans starred for the Garnet.
After this came a long line of defeats in close succession. Villa Nova stopped off at Swarthmore and won by a 21-17 score. Then the Garnet quintet visited Lafayette and came back with a 33-12 defeat. Pennsylvania and Wesleyan both took the measure of the Little Quakers, 29-7 and 45-16 respectively.

The next game, with New York University, was played in the metropolis. Coach Kelchner's team went on the floor with a complete revision of Hne-up, and at the end of the first half held the long end of the score, 14-10. New York continued to trail through the second half but gradually cut down the lead obtained by the Garnet. With less than a minute to go, a basket from the middle of the floor broke the existing tie and gave the Purple passers the game, 27-23. Heimawitz played stellar ball for New York University, while Wood, Evans, and Keare showed up best for Swarthmore.
The Rutgers dribblers visited Swarthmore the following week and mainly through the eff"orts of Manck, their diminutive forward, won, 23-11. Then at Bethlehem the Little Quakers were defeated by Lehigh. The quintet that started the contest showed poor teamwork and the score stood 22-11 against the Garnet at the end of the half. New men were substituted in the second period and the game changed completely. Lehigh, with a team that lost only one game during the entire year, was outplayed and outscored by six points in this half, though the final score stood 44-39 in their favor. Weinstein was the outstanding player for Lehigh, while Shane and Swope excelled for Swarthmore.
A 25-19 defeat at the hands of Muhlenberg was the last of that long list lost by the Garnet. The next game with Delaware at Newark was fast and well played and the result, a Swarthmore victory. Delaware got off to an early lead, but the Little Quakers fought hard and were leading at the end of the half, 14-12. In the second period the playing was even harder than before, with the lead changing hands e^"ery few moments. The Garnet then ran up a 5-point margin with two minutes to go and successfully "froze" the ball until the end of the game, winning, 29-24. Williams played well for Delaware, while Bartlett and Grove were high scorers for Swarthmore.
The final game, with Haverford, was played in the Orthodox gymnasium, and was the closest and most fiercely contested either team had experienced during the entire

season. Gaining and gained upon, Coach Kelchner's five emerged victorious, 24-23, making it the second successive year for a victory to be wrested from our Red and Black rivals by a single point.
fT" Q ^ i Swarthmore obtained the lead in the first half through
jm i_ ■ field-goals by Bartlett and Shane and led throughout the
game. The wild passing of the Garnet kept their score low at first, but at half-time it stood, Swarthmore 15, Haverford 10. Both teams came back on the floor with
. _ renewed determination to fight for the elusive wreath of
\| \ victory. The Red and Black slowly cut down the lead
^^ *^ Swarthmore had built up in the first period until they were one point behind, with three minutes to go. Close guard- ing from then on prevented further scoring by both sides, and once again the Garnet of Swarthmore floated tri- umphantly over the Red and Black of her ancient rival. Captain Arnold was the mainstay of the Ha\erford five, while Bartlett scintillated for Swarthmore, with four baskets and a trio of fouls. In reviewing the season as a whole, it must be kept in mind that while the majority of the games ended disastrously for the Garnet, a large part of the defeats were inflicted by a narrow margin. And the season, while not in many respects successful, gave a large number of men experience in varsity games which should pave the way for a winning combination next year.
Of the players, Captain Wood deserves special mention for his hard and consistent playing and also for leading the team in the number of points scored. The other letter men, Shane, Bartlett, Evans, Reinhardsen, and Swope will be back for the 1925 season, and under the leadership of Captain-elect Shane, Swarthmore sport followers can safely look forward to the coming vear.

Baseball Review
THE GARNET baseball nine finished its 1923 season with an average equal to that of either of the New York pennant-winning teams. Nine out of the fourteen contests played w'ere chalked up as victories for Coach Kelchner's men, while the remain- ing five each went down as defeats by a lone talljf.
Victories over Haverford, Delaware, Gettysburg, and Al- bright were numbered among others to give Swarthmore a record equal to that of the year before, when "Curly" Ogden and George Earnshaw twirled for the team. The five letter men who reported for practice in the spring were Captain Alexander Esrey, Amos Dotterer, Samuel Hayes, Vincent Schneider, and Waldemar Wood. Not one of these veterans was a member of the twirling staff.
However, Coach Kelchner found adequate material for pitchers from the previous year's second-string men, Lippincott, Hinebaugh, Barr, and Carr, and "Tim" Ogden, a freshman, brother of "Curly." The other vacant positions in the line-up were also capably filled by last year's substitutes. The batting of the team was par excellence and strongly upheld the pitching staff, with five of the Garnet bat-wielders hitting above a .300 average.
Gettysburg invaded the Swarthmore diamond on April 20 for the opening contest and returned home on the small end of a 7-6 score, though leading the field until the eighth. Lippincott was selected to twirl the opener and his batting featured along with his ability to hold Gettysburg in critical places. Wood's single in the eighth brought in Captain Esrey with the winning tally, the latter having scored Schneider and Lippincott on a triple.
But, as IS often the case, a victory in the initial tilt of any season does not work out for the best interests of the team, and the next three games were chalked up as defeats for the Garnet. Lafayette, Lehigh, and West Point were credited with close victories by single point margins, though Captain Esrey's men played stellar baseball in each contest.
Carr started the game against the Eastonians and was holding them well in hand when he twisted his knee and was replaced by Hinebaugh. Ogden took the mound later in the contest. Trailing along toward the end of the game behind a three-run lead, the sluggers of the Garnet walloped Yeisley, the opposing pitcher, for two runs, and sent him to the bench. With one run to tie the score, one out, and Dotterer on third, Ogden hit a clout labeled several bases. Lafayette's center fielder, however, caught it, but Dotterer had then started for home. He reached the rubber plate safely,, but was called out by the umpire for having left third too soon, and Lafayette won.

With Dame Fortune still unwilling to yield victory, Coach Kelchner's horse-hide chasers dropped a game to Lehigh in the tenth by a 3-2 score, and then duplicated by losing to Uncle Sam's Cadets 4-3 after a deadlock until the eighth. Lippincott hurled good ball for the Little Quakers, pitching the whole round at Lehigh and relieving Ogden in the fifth at West Point.
However, the Garnet fans were given a rise in spirits when their diamond-hoppers turned in a card with three successive wins for one week's work. The Swarthmore nine took the measure of Albright on the former's grounds, in a ten-inning struggle in which Lippincott's playing was outstanding. Though a little careless in the box, his team- mates gave him fine support, and, to return the favor, he clouted the horse-hide for a circuit run that scored Shane. Knapp continued the batting rally and won the game when he came in from third on Schneider's bunt.
Coach Kelchner chose Barr to pitch his first game for the Garnet against Delaware. Up until the eighth he allowed but four hits. He then became unsteady and was benched for Fix who gave way to Ogden. The game ended a decided victory for Swarthmore 8-5.
The following day the Garnet sluggers journeyed to Stevens where Captain Esrey showed "Babe" Ruth how to clout the ball. He sent two of the spheres to a resting-place over the fence and gleaned a single besides. Ogden twirled good ball until the eighth when Lippincott took the mound and made the final score read 7-5 in favor of Swarthmore.
And then came the annual clash with the Pennteamatthe Quaker City. Here the Gar- net started a ninth-inning rally that threw a scare into the Red and Blue camp. Lippincott and Yadusky were the opposing pitchers, and the Garnet star allowed but one more hit than his opponent. With the score three to nothing against them, the Little Quakers started out in the ninth to overcome the lead and duplicate the victory of the year before.
Wood drove a two-bagger, advanced on Esrey's fly, and scored on Knapp's hot triple to center. Baker scored Knapp on a single, and Shane drove into a double play, leaving the Red and Blue a one-run margin. [234]

The Little Quaker nine came back with a victory the following week when Lippincott hurled his team to a 10-5 win over Rutgers at New Brunswick. Dotterer, Wood, and Esrey did a lot of damage with the ash, and Lippincott poled another of his circuit clouts with two on base.
Ragged fielding largely contributed to the Garnet 7-8 setback at the hands of Frank- lin and Marshall in the next tilt. Barr, who hurled the first eight frames, was replaced by Ogden, but Swarthmore could not overcome the lead of the Blue and White with a two-run rally in the last inning.
Four victories in a row wound up a successful season for the Little Quaker bat- wielders. Pitching almost air-tight ball against Lebanon Valley on Alumni Field, Lippincott turned in a 5-3 victory. In this fracas there was a noticeable improvement in the Garnet pitching, hitting, and fielding.
Coach Kelchner's sluggers, in a batting rampage in the fourth and fifth frames, next chalked up a win over Ursinus on the home field by a 4-2 score. The freshman pitcher, Ogden, who replaced Hinebaugh in the fifth, allowed but five scattered hits the re- mainder of the struggle, and not a run was scored against him.
Came the annual classic with the followers of the Orthodox, in which the Red and Black tasted defeat to a 13-4 tune. The Garnet ace, Lippincott, blanked the Haverford team up to the eighth. In the sixth frame the Swarthmore ash grew hot while pounding out seven runs.
Alumni Day saw the wind-up of the baseball season when the Garnet romped over Muhlenberg in a 7-3 game. Lippincott allowed only six hits and fanned seven batsmen, while the bats of the Swarthmore players crashed the horse-hide many times.
With the final game came the graduation of several of the diamond heroes, and the loss of Captain Esrey at shortstop. Baker at first base, Schneider at the home plate, and Knapp in the field was a blow to the next year's team. But with a nucleus of six letter men, including the pitching ace, Lippincott, another banner season is assured for 1924.

ALTHOUGH Coach Mercer's cindermen won two /-\ out of four dual meets, the 1923 track season was hardly successful, owing to the defeat by Haverford in the biggest event on the card. Stevens and Delaware bowed to the Garnet, but Johns Hopkins, the 1923 Middle Atlantic States Champions, admin- istered a defeat to the Little Quaker athletes in the. first meet of the season.
Swarthmore was also represented in the Penn Relays, Middle Atlantic States Championships, and the Intercollegiates, but with little success. The main strength of the Garnet team was in the field events in the early part of the season, due largely to the indi- vidual prowess of Asplundh, but in the last meets the
large majority of the points were scored in the races. ,,
c- , i , r^ , • t Manager Nofer
Several oi the Garnet veterans scored consistently
throughout the season. Captain Spackman came through with firsts in the quarter-mile
against Delaware and Haverford. Asplundh was the highest individual scorer, winning
as high as four firsts in the Delaware meet. Thoenen improved in the sprints as the
season progressed and was at the top of his form in the Haverford meet when he captured
the 100- and 220-yard dashes, and came within one-fifth of a second of the college record
in the furlong. Captain-elect Hemmerly went through the entire schedule of dual meets
without a defeat in the half-mile. Shaw and Brunner also performed consistently in

jA. States Champions, at Baltimore, where the Garnet was allowed only
^Bg,' three first places, being beaten 79-33. Wilcox featured in his first
^^ college meet by winning the javelin throw, beating Asplundh, and
fd^^k coming within 2 feet of the freshman record. Asplundh failed to capture
^^^^^,^^^^ his usual number of points, but won the shot-put. Hemmerly ran the ^^^^p prettiest race of the day in the half-mile, winning by a full 15 yards.
"" The following week, Swarthmore entered a team in the Penn Relays,
at Philadelphia. Rumble, the fast Freshman quarter-miler, was tripped on the first turn of the start, and although he recovered and ran a plucky race, the handicap was too great and the team placed a close fifth.
In the first home meet of the season with Delaware, the team showed a vast improvement by winning 66-46. The Garnet won eight first places, four of which fell prey to Asplundh, who won the discus, shot, javelin, and high hurdles. Captain Spackman won the quarter-mile, and Hemmerly made his second w^n in the half-mile. Martin and Brunner took easy firsts, respectively, in the pole-vault and 2-mile, while Blair and Turner tied in the high jump.
Stevens proved a second easy victory on the home field. Asplundh was the high scorer with 18 points, and firsts by Brunner, Hemmerly, Shaw, and Thoenen, and ties for firsts by Blair and Martin, formed the nucleus of the Garnet's points in the 73-51 score.
In the Middle Atlantic States Championship meet, held at Allentown, Asplundh was the only point winner for the Garnet, securing third places in the javelin and shot-put. The season ended by a severe drubbing at the hands of Haverford, at Haverford. Although the times for the track events were the best of any dual meet of the season, and six firsts w^ere taken, the Garnet was defeated 73^-2-48^2. The competition in the field events may be judged by Asplundh's two third places. Redeeming features of the meet were victories by Captain Spackman m the 440- yard dash; by Thoenen in the 100- and 220-yard dashes; by Shaw in the 2-mile; by Hemmerly in the half-mile, and by Wilcox in the shot-put.

THE 1923 lacrosse season will be remembered as one of the most successful the Garnet has had in recent years. The comparison of games won and lost shows a total of four in each column, this being the best percentage realized since the season of 1912, when five games were won, one tied, and three lost. Through a schedule of hard games, Captain Willis led his men to second place in the Southern Division of the Intercollegiate Lacrosse League, with victories over Penn and Lehigh, losing only to Johns Hopkins, the leaders of the league.
The highhght of the season was the victory over the University of Pennsylvania at Frankhn Field, the first stick contest taken from the Red and Blue in three years. An extra ten-minute period was required before victory could be wrested from the Big Quakers. This win in itself was enough to give distinction to the Garnet twelve.
At the opening of the year, a total of forty men reported to Coach Jackson, Garnet lacrosse captain of 1922. Included in this squad were seven letter men and three sub- stitutes from the preceding season. After two weeks of hard work, a practice game was played with a team composed of Alumni and the result was a victory for the new Varsity. This game brought many defects to the attention of Coach Jackson that were corrected the following week in preparation for the game with Stevens. "Old Man Nature" stepped in here in the form of a spring blizzard and left the lacrosse field on the front campus covered with a foot of snow and slush — causing the cancellation of the contest.

Holmes Inside Home
The first scheduled game to be played was with Johns Hopkins at Baltimore. The contest was one-sided throughout and ended with the Garnet on the short end of an 11—1 score. There were many substitutions, due to poor stickwork. Holmes chalked up the only point for Swarthmore.
The next game, with the Army at West Point, also resulted in a bad defeat for the Garnet twelve. There was noticeable improvement in stickwork, the game being fast and not as one-sided as the 12-1 score would indicate. The ball was in Army territory a majority of the time, only an air-tight defense saving the Cadets. Howell at center made the single Garnet tally.
With the Lehigh game came a complete change in form. The playing both on attack and defense improved noticeably due to a week of concentrated practice. Holmes, at inside home, scored three Garnet goals while Miller came up the field from his defense position to score a fourth. The game ended in a 4-2 victory for Swarthmore.
In the Penn game, on Franklin Field, Coach Jackson's men showed the best teamwork of the season. The contest was marked by hard fighting on both sides, and the outcome was in doubt until the last whistle. Holmes scored the first goal for Swarthmore toward the middle of the opening half, and Korn added another a few minutes later. The Garnet in this half was impregnable, Miller's work being outstanding. A momentary weakening at the start of the second half let Penn score twice in rapid succession. The playing continued hard and fast, Howell finally breaking through for a score. With barely a minute to go, Penn evened the count. In the extra period then called the playing was

even faster and harder than before. Holmes scored the wnming tally in the last minute of play, the final score being 4-3 in favor of the Garnet.
Swarthmore continued her winning streak the following Saturday by a 6-0 win over Rutgers. The game was somewhat one-sided, the Swarthmore goal being threatened only twice during the entire contest. Korn and Holmes each tallied two of the points, while Clyde and Grim added the rest. Manager Kistler's work on the defense was notable.
Penn State was next met at Penn State and the Swarthmore twelve were forced to take defeat away with them. The final result was 5-2, Clyde and Holmes chalking up the Garnet scores.
The following week, in the game with St. Johns, at Swarthmore, a comeback was staged which gave the home team a 5-1 victor)'. The game was loosely played and the Garnet held a decided advantage throughout. In the second half. Coach Jackson made a number of substitutions, and as a result of this the score was kept at a comparatively low figure.
The next and last game of the season was played at Baltimore with the strong Mt. Washington Club. This team, made up entirely of former college stars, outplayed the Garnet throughout the contest as the final score of 13-1 indicates.
Some of the men deserve special mention for their season playing. Captain Willis was a tower of strength on the defense, and his hard and steady playing served as an incentive for the rest of the team. Ayars' work at goal was noticeable in every game.

THE 1923 Garnet Soccer eleven did not regain the championship of the Pennsylvania State Association Football League, lost for the first time in 1922, but third place in the League standing, with a record for the season of four victories, three defeats, and one tie game, stamp it as a hard-fighting, although inexperienced, aggregation.
Vacancies left by the graduation and failure to return of six stars from the 1922 team made prospects look dull at the start of the season, but the first game, a 1-0 reverse from Dartmouth, proved that Coach Dunn had moulded together a team of the same high caliber as in former years. A well-earned 4-0 victory over Haverford started the League season, but a 1-1 tie with Penn and a 1-0 defeat at Lehigh spoiled all first-place hopes. After dropping another game to Army by a one-goal margin, the season was ended in a whirlwind fashion with three victories over N. Y. U., Lafayette, and Navy. The last victory is especially noteworthy, for the following week Penn's intercollegiate champions were forced to bow to the Annapolis eleven.
Four goals, including the lone tally in the Navy contest, enabled Bartlett to lead the team in scoring, while Baird was a close second with three counters. Both of these men, although veteran backs, proved their versatility by ably filling the gaps left in the line at the start of the season. Captain Mode, holding down a backfield position for the fourth year, played brilliantly, and, along with Bartlett, was selected for the second straight season on the all-state eleven picked by the Lafayette coach. For the third season the goal position was well handled by Test, whose steady play prevented many an opponent's tally.
Edward Bartlett was elected to captain the 1924 team which, with eight veterans as a nucleus, should be one of the best in the Soccer history of Swarthmore.

Tne 1924 Svc^iminin^ Season
TO BUILD a team from two letter men, neither of whom were stars the previous season, from a discouragingly small squad of mediocre swimmers, and against what seemed an unsurmountabie lack of Interest, was the task that faced the swimming department at the beginning of the 1924 season. However, the services of Gilbert Tomlinson, a former Swarthmore speed artist, were secured to fill the vacancy left by former Coach Bernard. Slowly, due to the inspiring efforts of the coach, a team began to crystallize with a large store of "rookie" material on which to draw. The largest squad that has ever reported was in the water every afternoon, and a team was worked up which not only made a good showing against a strong schedule but which broke three of the College records.
Captain Martin was a tower of strength in the speed events, swimming the 50-yard, 100-yard, and 220-yard dashes, as well as holding anchor position on the relay team. He was high scorer for Swarthmore and proved to be an able and exacting Captain for the inexperienced team. At Williams and Wesleyan, he lowered the College records in the 40-yard and 220-yard dashes.
Captain-elect Kane showed up well in the 50-yard and 100-yard events throughout the season. Although this was his first year, it is hoped that he will be able to fill the vacancy left by Martin for next year.
In the diving division, the loss of Repp greatly weakened the team in the early meets, but Coach Tomlinson has developed in Norton a fancy diver who can easily uphold "Swarthmore in this event. In the dual meets, Norton took three firsts, and placed second in the Eastern Intercollegiate Meet.
Coale did well in the breast stroke. Creditable records were attained by Shoemaker, 'Gailey, and Parrish in the dashes. Stabler in the back stroke, and Best in the plunge. The relay team consisting of Shoemaker, Gailey, Kane, and Martin chopped a full second of the former College record. The season was a marked success, however, in creating College interest in swimming and in building a strong team for next year, not of the one-man variety but of several equally proficient swimmers.
Considering meets won and lost, the season was very poor, for the Garnet mermen took only one out of the eight meets entered.

Tennis Review
AS THE 1923 tennis season drew near, the prospects for an unusually good team /"A were very bright. Captain Linton, ex-Captain Baker, Manager Seltzer, and Pratt were letter men from the 1922 aggregation who had returned. Besides these veterans there were three Freshmen of great promise: Dudley, Junior Champion of Washington, D. C; Hodge, Junior Champion of Philadelphia; and Seymour, conqueror of the Junior Champion of St. Louis, and runner-up for the Junior Championship of Chicago for three successive years.
Competition for positions on the team was severe, and after Baker dropped tennis to cover first base on the baseball team, Linton, Seltzer, and the three Freshmen champions became the first five men on the team.
The schedule which followed may conservatively be considered one of the most difficult as well as the most successful in Swarthmore tennis history. Out of eleven matches played, the Garnet netmen came through undefeated, battling their way to nine victories and two tie matches. The Little Quakers had no individual star as good as Mercus, the undefeated champion of Lehigh, or as Carl Fisher, Intercollegiate Champion, but were able to make such a fine showing, owing to the fact that all the Garnet repre- -sentatives were about equal in ability and stood above the general college average.
The long string of victories started with the Army match at West Point. Things looked dark for the Garnet when Dudley, Linton, and Seltzer lost their singles matches, Lut Hodge and Seymour came through with wins in their singles matches, giving the Little Quakers a fighting chance. Heartened by the showing of the Freshmen, the Garnet racquet swingers staged a comeback that was characteristic of their play through- out the season and annexed both doubles, winning the match by 4-3. Darkness pro- hibited the playing of the doubles at Georgetown, but Dudley, Hodge, and Seymour won their singles matches and clinched a 3-2 victory.
The first matches on Wharton Courts, those with George Washington and Osteo- pathy, were both hard fought, and thrilled contestants and spectators alike. The Garnet racqueters took both matches by 4-3 scores. Swarthmoreans had an opportunity to see Carl Fisher, the present Intercollegiate Champion, in action, when he downed Seltzer in the singles.
The match at Lehigh was not completed, owing to darkness, and the contest was called with the score 3-3. Mercus, the Brown and White leader, displayed excellent tennis in beating Seltzer, and Beck won from Seymour, but Captain Linton, Hodge, and Dudley gave the Garnet a lead when they won their individual matches. The advantage was lost when Lehigh won the first doubles match, and the second doubles
253]
^^HALCVON «i^^fl|^ 'TWENTY- FrVE^95
match was called when the score stood 7-7. Lafayette proved easy the following day, being defeated by a 5-2 score.
The hardest match of the season was with the University of Michigan, two years champions of the "Big Ten." More desperate tennis has never been seen on the Wharton Courts. The match started about 3 o'clock in the afternoon and was not finished until after 7 o'clock. Captain Linton showed his best form of the season in gaining a win over Coulter in straight sets, 11-9, 7-9. Seltzer and Seymour were forced to drop their singles matches, but Dudley and Hodge again came through with victories. The first doubles match was won by Michigan, and with the contest tied at 3-3, the attention of the crowd was focused on Hodge and Seymour, the undefeated doubles combination. It took two sets for the yearling pair to prove their superiority over the Westerners, and Michigan was forced to bow in defeat for the first time in two years.
New York University and Delaware proved easy picking for the Garnet in the next two matches, victories by 7-0 counts being credited in the mounting list of wins.
By all previous records, Haverford was slated for a big fall before the onslaught of the powerful Hicksites, but in a match of disappointing caliber the Alain Liners rose ta tie the Garnet by a 3-3 count. The Red and Black players performed nobly, and although, the Swarthmoreans did not display their usual form and were handicapped by being; limited to a four-man team, the Orthodox representatives fully earned the tie.
The contest with Wesleyan was a fitting close to the season. The Middletown courts- men were rated among the best in New England, but the Little Quakers came back intO' form and won handily by 4 matches to 2. '
As a fitting reward for their excellent showing, the Athletic Council has awarded special Varsity letters to the members of the 1923 team, and specified that the letters should be garnet on a white sweater with garnet cuffs and two garnet stripes around the neck.

Captain Krusen Goal
THE old fighting Garnet spirit and crowds of loyal Garnet rooters pulled the 1923 Hoclcey team through a stiff six- game schedule. A change in regulations was made in which all games with preparatory schools were ruled out and Swarthmore met only college teams.
Eleanor Eoote, captain-elect for 1924, began her star playing in the opening contest with Ursinus and scored two briUiant goals which won a victory for Swarthmore. The following week, Swarth- more again encountered Ursinus, this time on their own field, where the worthy opponents surprised Coach Lanning's eleven, holding them to a 2-2 tie. The Garnet blazed into fame, however, when it triumphed over Temple University, a team that had not tasted defeat for three years.
The 4-1 victory over Penn celebrated the end of hockey history on Cunningham Field, where the excavations for the new Worth dormitories were to begin. Fate reversed on the following Thursday when the finished team-work and en- durance of the Bryn Mawr players won out with a 6-2 score. The return game with Temple, played on neutral ground in Riverton, was not so fortunate for the Garnet. The Swarthmore team showed the effects of insufficient practice and was forced to bow to the once vanquished foe.
"Soup" Krusen, who has played her last game for the Garnet, ably captained the 1923 team through a hard season, and to her goes the glory of saving many games for Swarthmore. Mary Miller, at right wing, will also leave a hole in the line difficult to fill.
Last summer, six of the Swarthmore girls enjoyed the privilege of a week's rigorous coaching by a capable Englishwoman at a real hockey camp. It is hoped that the whole team and all others interested will be able to attend this training-camp next year.
With only two players lost through graduation, many veterans, and much promising material, the 1924 season bids fair to be a success. It only remains for every Swarthmorean to keep capitalized the famous Garnet "PEP."

SWARTHMORE opened the season in New York with Adelphi. Handicapped by a practically new team, they lost to their opponents by a low 11-19 score. The sextet was forced to bow to Ursinus in a strenuous game, 24-36, but came into their own with Drexei Insitute when Virginia Brown and Katherine Mather ran up the score 38-18.
"Leap Year Day" proved a good omen for Swarthmore when the Garnet won a brilliant victorj* over the University of Pennsylvania, 21-16. May Parry entered the for- ward ranks with Virginia Brown and showed herself at home on the floor. On March 7, George Washington University came to Swarthmore on their biennial trip. They put up a stiff defense, but Coach Lanning's sextet piled up the score 32-18. Bryn Mawr proved invincible on their home floor. One highlight in the game, however, was the work of Jenkinson, a freshman, who substituted for Captain Herrmann.
The 1924 season ended with a whiz and a bang with Swarthmore defeating Temple, 29-26. The fast play, splendid teamwork, and excellent shooting gave the Garnet the pleasure of handing Temple her first defeat in sixty-five consecutive games.
Only one player will be lost through graduation this year. Captain Herrmann will be sadly missed at center, but she has to take her place the "highly" thought-of fresh- man, Alice Jenkinson. Virginia Brown, the speedy forward, Lydia Roberts, Anna Sjostrom, Elizabeth Pollard, and May Parry will all, fortunately, be with the Garnet next year. With such a nucleus Coach Lanning predicts a brilliant season for 1925.

The Juniors won the inter-class basketball banner after a series of exciting contests in which the Sophomores were runners-up. A new system was put into effect during the past season. Each class was represented by two teams. A victory for the first team counted 50 points while a win for the second team counted 30 points. The Freshmen forced the Seniors into last place when their total points entitled them to the third position.

(A BEDTIME STORY)
ONCT upon a time on a blacky black nite, little Jimmy Skunk wuz just skipping and trip- ping through the forest of Crum past the three trees — there, there, and there. His hart went thumpety-thump becaws he wuz so verry happy and he kepp singing inside of himself — under his breath. And pretty soon he came to Wharton Kastle, wich wuz all made out of sugar plums and shreaded weet. And he hid in the deep tall grass and sang with all his breath. Presuntly he herd a mity rawr and a big Long man rushed to the window of the sugar plum kastle. "I smell a skunk!" he showted. "So do I!" said his playmate, and "So do I!" cherped another playmate. "So do I!" murmered the babbling brook, and "Me too!" wispered the three trees — ^there, there, and there. Jimmy Skunk's hart went pitty-pat, and he blinked his eyes fast, and then he sighed — and oh, his sigh wuz worse than hiz singing. But Jimmy Skunk wuz a brave little boy and he stood verry still, breathing harder and harder and faster and faster. Then the big Long man with a big long stik and a big long yell came running with big long runs out of Wharton Kastle. Jimmy Skunk opened his eyes verry wide and he saw a kitty-kat just a little way off. And the big Long man rawred agen, and he razed hiz grate black stik and it went BANG, and mercy! where the kitty-kat had bin there wuzn't any kitty-kat at all. And then Jimmy Skunk laffed 'n lafFed 'n laffed, 'caws he had fooled the big Long man, and he skuttled home to tell hiz little brothers and sisters and hiz dere unkles and aunts all about the luvly funny place at Wharton Kastle that he had fownd for their Sunday picknick.

FUSSING A LA SWARTHMORE
He (making signs across the dining-room) : May I see you after dinner?
She (nodding imperceptibly) : I guess so. (She gets through dinner first and doesn't hke to stand down in the hall, so goes upstairs. He comes out and gets on the end of the shortest line to the telephone booths. Ten minutes later.)
He: Well, hello, how about coming downstairs?
She: All right, I'll be right down. The West steps.
He: Which is west?
She: Oh, dumb-bell, by the door into the new dining-room.
He: All right, hurry up. (Five minutes later — 7.15 — he is standing at the bottom of the steps with his elbows on the post. She is on the first step gazing fondly down into the depths of his brown eyes. Alas! she has no beads for him to play with! But there's a tassel on the end of her belt ; he can hold on to that. Now, everything's set to begin and it's only seventeen minutes after seven.)
He: How are you, anyway?
She: Same as I was after lunch. Get a new beginning, won't you?
He: Oh, don't say that! (earnestly and with all pretense of telling the truth). I really mean it!
She: All right, no feelings hurt. (Silence for 53 seconds.)
He : I read a good joke today.
She: Shoot!
He: "How come the Trustees ruled that students can't keep cars?" "More graft. They're going to start a 'Buy a Kiddie Kar' campaign and they've cornered the market." (Laughter — silence — 7.30 bell rings.)
He: How the time has flown (same old line)! I had lots to say and now there isn't time to say it. Oh, say! Going to the dance this Saturday?
She: No, I'm not.
He: Yes, you are! You're going with me!
She : All right, that's fine. Well, by-by, before Miss Lukens calls us down for over- fussing. (That's the signal to let go of the tassel, and after a few more good-bys, etc., it's finally settled. And since walking to the farthest end of the hall is the shortest way upstairs, that's the thing they do.)

THE CADUCEUS OF KAPPA SIGMA
THIS YEAR we have been fortunate in getting a group of good pledges, but they are very small in number. We do not like to make excuses, but we pledged only forty-eight men out of the Freshmen class. Yet if all the brothers could see them they would be very much satisfied in spite of the number. We have one man who would make five of one of the men the D. U.'s took this year.
All of these men are very versatile, but we will be able to get them out of this, then they can put all of their time into the main activities of the chapter, namely. Phi Beta Kappa and football.
The Chapter passed an amendment to the by-laws this year requiring all men to get a one- point average before being initiated. With this we hope to keep the Chapter average at the point where it was at mid -year. This requirement had hindered us somewhat in initiating our men, as we were able to initiate only two out of the forty-eight so far, but one of the brothers is now working in the Dean's office so we will have no trouble in that direction for the rest of this year.
We are very proud of the fact that one of the brothers in last year's class was awarded a Rhodes Scholarship to Oxford. The Phi Psi's do not have a thing on us now.
The old Chapter house was recently vacated and all the meetings are to be in the open air until the new house can be used. This is to be started soon; it is at the extreme end of the line of lodges — as far away as we can get from the other fraternities. All gifts from the Alumni for the house will be gratefully received, money especially. Kindly address to Kappa Sigma, Swarthmore College, Swarthmore, Pa.
THE SHIELD OF PHI KAPPA PSI
PENNSYLVANIA KAPPA wishes to announce the pledging of eight of the most promising sheiks in the Freshman class. Five of these new men have already been very successful in becoming the idols of the co-eds and should raise our rating with the fair sex to an even higher plane than that which we now hold. The other three Freshmen are coming along slowly but surely under the influence received from the discussions on Wednesday nights, and before they graduate should break the hearts of at least half a dozen of the prettiest girls.
A suggestion that a dancing teacher be hired to instruct the brothers before the regular meetings has been put into practice and most satisfactory results have been obtained. It was especially fortunate that we were able to secure one of the best dancing professors from New York, for the brothers are now always up-to-the-minute in the latest steps and are thus enabled to be even more charming to the young women.
The brothers all believe that a great deal of their success is due to the Alumni who have entertained us several times a week. There has been so much discussion over who is going to offer his home for the next dance that a prominent benefactor has offered to build a ballroom to be used exclusively by Kappa. In this way it is hoped that all future discord among the Alumni will be avoided.
Several of the Seniors have benefited greatly by their four years of Phi Psi training and are now arranging dates for the turning-point in their lives. All the brothers may look forward to invitations in the near future, just as soon as dates which do not conflict can be arranged.

THE QUARTERLY OF DELTA UPSILON
NINE of the nine pledges of the Swarthmore Chapter this year have Delta Upsilon Alumni for fathers. An amendment to the by-laws of this Chapter has been passed recently to the effect that a man must have a D. U. father before being eligible for membership. We would appreciate it very much if all the brothers would cooperate with us in this move and use their influence to have it passed. The big advantage of this can readily be seen for it will then be certain that all active members will be provided with tuxedos and the lodge will continue to receive its annual supply of furniture.
The hereditary instinct has been showing up in the new men already because they all handle lacrosse sticks like veterans. Each and every one of their fathers were lacrossers from way back so that the Swarthmore Chapter will be able to carry on as usual. This spring the entire Chapter has reported for practice and it is highly improbable but what some will make the squad. Black- board talks on lacrosse have been given in meeting for some time and are now incorporated as a part of the regular order of business.
The marriage of a prominent Alumnus recently took place and all of the brothers were there ready to kiss the bride. Lacrosse practice on this day was called off because only three men reported in uniform.
We would like to see as many visiting brothers as possible at our dances which are held the evening before each vacation in the College dining-room so that we can have the entire College to ourselves and run it as we damn please.
SIGNET OF PHI SIGMA KAPPA
PHI CHAPTER wishes to announce the initiation of Paul Whiteman, Sam Brown, George Madden, John Philip Sousa, Leopold Stokowski, Arthur Pryor, Pat Riley, and Frank Conway, all of the Class of 1927. We feel extremely fortunate in being able to take in eight such talented Freshmen, all of whom have an excellent chance of winning their letter in the College Orchestra.
Already plans for rushing are under way for next j'ear, and favorable replies have been received from Paderewski, Elman, Ted Weems, and Howard Lannin.
The Chapter this year is proud to say that seven-eighths of the brothers are majors in history. This department is the most advanced and wide-awake in the entire College. On account of the great difficult}- of the work in this department, it is to be expected that the scholastic average of the Chapter should not be as high as that of the other fraternities whose members are taking such snap courses as Engineering and Chemistry.
Our new lodge on the campus has been completed and proves to be more convenient than the houses owned by any of our rivals. Its position, at a stone's throw from the railroad, is very advantageous, but should this position prove unsatisfactory it would not be difficult to change the location. The brother making the highest average at the end of the year will be allowed to wear the lodge as a watch charm during the summer. In this way we hope to raise the general average of the Chapter.
In conclusion we wish to extend a hearty invitation to all the brothers to come to see us in our new lodge. Communicatipn should be made beforehand with the secretary, as not more than two can be accommodated at the same time.

THE SCROLL OF PHI DELTA THETA
THIS YEAR Pennsylvania Kappa Chapter was successful in pledging, as usual, the brightest members of the Freshman class. We have the distinction of being the only men's fraternity at Swarthmore that has initiated a girl. This was done because of her exceptional intel- lectual abihty and also because we believed her influence would make the brothers more gentle and refined. Already she is taking a leading part in College activities through her aptitude in housekeeping and the dying of silk scarfs.
There has been a movement fostered among the brothers for some time to expand to univer- sities in Sweden and Holland. Several representatives of the aforementioned countries are now active in the Chapter and this has given added impetus to the movement.
The fine spirit displayed in the great indoor sport of debating has been one of the features of our activities. Half of the Chapter has been on the squad and at every debate the remainder of the brothers turn out to vote for them and lend them their moral support.
Charts of the activities of the brothers are being drawn up by a well-known artist in prepa- ration for the next rushing season. We recommend this as an effective method of getting new men, provided the activities of the other fraternities are not made public.
We suggest to the Alumni that instead of practicing Walter Camp's daily dozen they should come out to the College and hike with us to our house. Guides leave on the hour from Wharton Hall.
THE KAPPA ALPHA THETA QUARTERLY
OH DEAR, oh dear, how much it bores, to carry on fraternal chores — repeating to you every time the same old story of our climb from out the old plebeian ranks (for which our dear Alums give thanks). On dignity our Chapter's run — it is the great thing we have won. In rushing we are quite aloof — each prospect must give ample proof — a family tree which never boughs to ought but blue blood "Brookwood" cows. We've given parties left and right to put the others out of sight, and we have a Sunday dancing class which enables us to always pass our many quizzes and exams — indeed the Chapter never crams. Our hockey team won every game and helped to bring us added fame.

THE PI PHI ARROW
PENNSYLVANIA Alpha of old Pi Beta Phi sends ten new shining arrows soaring to the sky. We walked off with the Freshmen, the others got the rest — but ours are all undoubtedly the very, very best. We soon reserved the Walton roof for their initiation — but somehow our Alumnae disapproved this reservation. So we put it off and put it off, the Freshmen's marks ne'er faltered. But now they're really true Pi Phis, our scholastic aims have altered. The arrow's surely missed the marks — alas, its head points down — but our bridge team's nifty floor-work will yet win us the crown. On April twelfth our Chapter dashed to Washington, D. C, where honored Sister Coolidge gave us a White House tea. One Chapter athlete left us when Chic last year departed, and Kitty now, the other one, along like paths has started. Our Emily is not far behind and then there's Jerry, too. Perhaps there's hope for all of us, so we're by no means blue.
THE KEY OF KAPPA KAPPA GAMMA
WE MEANT to write you long ago and tell about our tale of woe. If you think, perhaps, you could donate a nickel, it would sure be great. You see, we bought a beauteous rug and now each member's turning slug, and the Chapter's in a fever chill to try and pay the awful bill. But in other ways — oh, never fear! — we've had a most successful year. We're represented all about — poor Polly is just all worn out putting "Kappa" on the fields and winning "Kappa" swimming shields. Our Y. W. Cabinet keeps us straight, and in spare time we run. Debate. With Sister Jones head of Exec, we never have to break our neck. We get permission any nite and penalties are always light.
THE ANCHORA OF DELTA GAMMA
OUR CHAPTER'S been rushing the worst way this year — we got several Freshmen, each one is a dear. As Athletes we're losing our usual rep — but we've still got the singers and usual pep. Sisters Lanning and Gourley — the department of gym — let us take overcuts at the least little whim. Our three honor students make our average soar high — to be clever not dumb we all of us try. We decided that rummage sales are rather trite, so we wore our old clothes and we all looked a sight when poor Raggedy Ann we tried hard to outshine, but even the clothes could not spoil our mean line.

THE ELEUSIS OF CHI OMEGA
OUR CHAPTER'S just been working so very hard of late, and not a single Fresiiman has gone without a date, to dances at our College where the men are just too sweet, and we rank on such occasions as Society elite. In picking out our Freshmen we don't require a lot — if they're any good at bridge games we're Johnny-on-the-spot. We know you'll be delighted that our scholarship is high — no doubt due to Sister Miller who with Dudley at her side, and Brother "Doc" and Sidney are waxing pretty bright — at the Libe they save a table and park there every night. Our social dates are plenteous and we always try to rate a member who can manage to get a bid to State. Of lavish entertaining we're leading in the race — a trip to Phila- delphia or a iride with Sister Grace. In making up our budget of expenses for next fall, there's one important item that is sure to help us all. We're so anxious for September so our rushing may begin, for we're going to promise Freshmen a fur coat with every pin.
THE PHI MU AGLAIA
THERE were just eleven of us when we started in the year. But we worked real hard at rushing, so that now there is no fear that all of our nine pledges will prove anything but fine — with the biggest in the College, its an awfully hopeful sign. We want girls that are amusing, who can sling a learned line — but when we can't get those girls, we take the other kind. W^e won a new distinction when our Junior sister Dot eloped with Eddie Repp and had to leave us on the spot. It was even more exciting than last j'ear's Chi O case. And ours was so spectacular we've surely won the race. Our newly furnished Chapter room beats others bj' a mile with somber walls and shaded lights we surelj- are in stj-le. Our great big Vic was Anna's gift, the car is Anna's too; so we "rush" them round the countryside and give them gum to chew.

LIVINGSTON LORD BLAIR
Did you ever hear my name murmured by the co-eds —
Tales of the way that I haunted the stag-lines —
Tales of the knockouts I took to the dances? —
They thought that just because I was blase
I must be intellectual.
Women fell for me —
Men glared at me —
But once I asked a girl to go to a dance
And she turned me down — because —
She didn't want to go with me
And I passed out.

Breaking my neck, stopping the speaker,

Swarthmore, Pa., January 20, 1924 Dtar Mother:
Oh, Mother dear, I simply must tell you. We have the most adorable French teacher here who is perfectly marvelous to me. Of course, in class he treats me just as anyone else, but I can see at times peeping from under his tranquil repose that — oh, I can't explain it. He's just too sweet for words.
About once a month he has an afternoon tea at his apartment and has never once failed to include me in the attendants. He's the darlingest host and serves the most delicious cinnamon toast and cambric tea. And after the food has been passed and the dishes cleared away, he shows us things that he has collected while abroad. You see, he was a Rhodes Scholar, and was in jolly old England several years, where he un- doubtedly learned his hearty hospitality.
He has the most thrilling pictures of foreign lands! He's very modest, but I just know that he's a wonderful athlete, for when he comes to pictures of any athletic event he passes hurriedly over it as if he were embarrassed.
He's just enchanting. Mother dear, and he has the sweetest disposition — you don't know! I'm sending you his picture because I do want you to know how perfectly precious he is. I used to hate French with Miss Bronk, but it's funny — I love it more every day. I'm thinking seriously of reading for honors, ma chere.
Heaps of love,
Peggy.

A CONVERSATION BETWEEN THE BOOTH BROTHERS
MIKE AND IKE— THEY LOOK ALIKE
Ike (the left-hand telephone booth as the clock pointed to 10): Migosh! This has been a strenuous day. I always did hate Saturday.
Mike (shutting ins door on Howard Thompson who had been trying to get Kennett Square all evening) : Me too! and this has been worse than usual!
Ike: And I have a deuce of a headache. It's awfully hard wearing Don Dudley's hat all day. It's much too small. And why on earth "Bobby" Howarth left his books on me ail week — altliough they did come in awfully handy for "Woody" tonight when he used them to stand on in order to reach the telephone. He called up every hall in Parrish trying to get a date, and when he finally found somebody under four feet Amy cut him off.
Mike: But did you see "Doc" Hinebaugh and "Sid" Pollick both inside of me tonight? I nearly exploded. Never have I been under such a strain. I had to have a man come up and put my lid on straight afterward. It was almost as crooked as the Teapot Dome.
Ike: Anyway that couldn't have been any worse than the Democratic meeting I held this noon. They had to adjourn to a classroom though, because there wasn't room for both of them. You see, "Brooksie" and "Orrick" couldn't talk without using their hands. And the hot air they spilled nearly melted my glass eye.
Mike: And speaking of glass eyes, I nearly broke my left one looking out the window at "Bobby" Burton and "Bill" this afternoon. "Bill" didn't even bother to help her up the steps. They must be almost married.
Ike: Yes, but they've got nothing on the Dudley's. I do think that Student Conduct was rather inconsiderate to social privilege "Betty." "Don" stayed in here a whole half hour tonight
talking to her. I nearly suffocated, it got so hot. If I had any voice of my own, instead of just letting Amy talk for me, I'd have had it stopped. Any- way my line's not as good as it was at the beginning of the year.
Mike: I ask you, Ike, do you think it's decent for "Pacer" to call up "Tommy" Taylor as much as she does? The book of etiquette says she shouldn't.
Ike: Gosh, I don't know! Sometimes I wonder what this College is coming to. Some of the conversations I hear! Remember how "Lee" Pugh talked to her family? Children never used to talk that way.
Mike: But Ike, we always have Amy. She's
voice. "W HAT Do I KAve.

PUBLIC OPINION
To the Editor of "The Phoenix."
Dear Sir: Recently I observed in your publication that your Board of Managers had passed a ruling to the effect that no student should in the future l:eep an automobile on the college campus.
Now, dear sir, it seems to me that such an action was both foolish and unnecessary. In the first place, any student that would trust a respectable car on the rocky roads of Swarthmore campus is either foolish, insane, or indifferent. Really, in my short visit to your campus I experienced one of the most miserable ten minutes of my life in traveling from the east gate to Wharton Hall.
In another sense, it was an extremely selfish attitude that your Board took, for although it is very evident that their soft-cushioned, cushion-springed Fierce Sparrows would not notice the hills and valleys that characterize your Swarthmore roads, those hills and valleys are very noticeable when traveling in the car of one of those unthought of underlings, (the students and their friends).
It might be a good way of keeping your students away from the outside world, but I doubt it, for to my mind they don't stand much of a chance of getting away safe over such roads under any consideration.
In conclusion, I would merely offer the suggestion to your Board of Managers that in their future decisions, if they cannot think of anything to decide that will benefit the College, they meet for the sake of meeting, call the roll, adjourn the meeting, and call it a day.
Yours for better roads,
C. M. Scatter.

A TYPICAL FACULTY MEETING
Prexy raps streni^pusly for order.
"Owinell can I conduct this 'ere meetin' if there ain't paid me no attention whilst I preside? What am I — third assistant to the soup-strainer in yon kitchen that I should get such rudish treatment as this?"
With apparent reluctance the turmoil subsides — dwindles into nothingness — a moment of silence.
"Well? W'ell? Wot's the delay? I gotta hustle, son, and get to me golluf," snaps J. Russell, spatting a wad of "Chmax" cut plug into the nearest spittoon. "Gotta meet the missus at — " looks at watch " — oh, what the hell, let her wait!"
Prexy solemnly calls the roll. The routine business is solemnly opened and completed whilst the assembly slumbers. Then —
"Anybody got any kicks comin'?"
A quavering voice arises from the rear of the room.
"Might I have just a word?" Marriot faces the circle of hostile glances nervously. "I was just going to say — that is, what I mean is — that I thought I would inquire if any of you worthy propagators of culture could — er — would be able to advise me as to the most — er — let us say, adequate — means of restraining unrulj' pupils. I am so troubled with disorder and rudeness in my classes! One morning last week — I blush with shame! — three Freshmen told me I didn't have the sense of a three-year-old child. When I manfully asserted myself they told me to go soak my head in oil and then the entire class paraded out. And, colleagues, the sad part is that none have come to class since then, and I dare not give them cuts for fear of displeasing them!"
"Lookut here, Ross, old man, do you want to know the most satisfactory way of running your classes? How to keep scholastic averages in your department way above those of other depart- ments? The secret is PROCTORS!" Hull triumphantly waves a resplendent red bandana. "Yes, indeed, PROCTORS!"
"Al" Brooks towers over the circle of intellectuals. "Youse guys don't know no more about runnin' a class dan some dumb benny from de East Side! What youse ought t'do is assert yer- selves — ASSERT yerselves!" He folds his arms above his massive chest. "When dey gits sassy, give 'em a little beef, some strong-arm stuff! Dat gits 'em!"
There is a chorus of indignant outcries. Alleman rises to the occasion and deplores the brutality of little "Brooksy." "Alas, sir! Thee will never gain the results by such methods, my dear Alfred. Does thee not realize that a little personal attention, a friendly chat now and then, a invitation to tea, establishes a most cooperative relationship between professor and student?"
"Poppycock! All poppycock!" snaps Bagley, instructor of French — between times. "A most rotten idea, I calls it! First thing you know, 'Ally,' they'll be crying 'favorites'. No, sir-e-e-e! Treat 'em all alike. Keep them in their proper places. Don't let 'em think for a minute any one has a bigger and better drag than any other!"
Disturbance in the rear causes faculty to turn around and behold "Sonny" Comrie and "Bobby" Middiemore interrupted in the act of sneaking out together by the entrance of Dean

Brewster. The guilty couple stand awkwardly in tiie range of a dozen pairs of eyes, then simul- taneously bolt for the door.
"Dear me!" murmurs R. C. "Brooksy," giggling in delight. "I bet I know — they're going for a ride in 'Bobby's' new Rolls-Ruff." A rattle, bang, squeak — much disturbance as the huge machine dashes by the window.
Order restored gradually. Miss Brewster rises to speak. "Friends," she begins, gently, smiling and speaking slowly and distinctly, "I have a most delightful announcement to make. The administration has decided to grant admission to women on the basis of good looks, social activity, and reputation. In so doing we feel it to be for the best interests of the College as a whole and individually."
Angry frowns and muttered dissent on the part of Hicks, Bagley, and Hudson.
More silence.
"We might as well get going!" yells Dean Walters, between munches on a nice, big, ripe, juicy lemon. "If there ain't no more business, let's beat it!"
"You've all heard the motion — those in favor kindly so signify by saying 'aye'," splutters Prexy, wakened from a sound sluriiber by a kick on the shins. He rubs his eyes and appears startled, for all he can see is a circle of empty chairs and a scramble down the hall. "I wish someone'd knock some sense into their ivory domes," he mutters, bitterly. "Lord! — the whistlin' and yellin' after quiet hour has started ain't nothin' less than a disgrace!" Peers down the hall. "Well, I'll be — if there ain't Urdahl and Bronk fussin'!"
Slouches back into chair and falls into sonorous slumber.
Innocent Frosh: I went auto-riding with a strange young man last night. Did I do wrong? Experienced Soph: Probably.

Grim-faced, he clutched his fishing Kane in his Nuckols, but he could not Sevmour than a Burr at his Foote. "]\'asser Mather with me?" he thought. Suddenly from out of the Brown Wood came the King, the Best Mayer in the country. "Feehrer not, sir, I shall not Hurtt you. I am bringing Holmes the Bacon." He had in his Lap-ham. Nicely Dun-ham, too! The Wee-maii started Sniffen the Aire(5) of the Limberger and Hanburger. "What Price is it?" he asked. "Come on, Bo-dine with me. The Price is three Nickles." The tears Rush to the Wbite-haired man's eyes. "Why do I A/ern'« this? I'm not A6e/Z to repay your Serz'ice. Let A/e-Zic/c the plate."

THE NIGHT-OWL
Duke: Does your room-mate Humpton like to go out evenings? Spence: I really don't know; he doesn't come in until too late to go out.
GUYS WE ALL LOVE (?)
The poor fish who lets a swinging door slam in our face.
The cuckoo that pushes his head in the way just as we are about to get that pink letter from the mail-box during the mad rush.
The artist, who, just as we are about to see through that difficult astronomical problem, ambles over from Parrish whistling "Dream Daddy" as loud and mournfully as possible.
The crook who tactfully asks, "Do you have a card?" when the I SCREAM SPECIAL comes around.
The guy who says disgustedly when asked about his average, "Oh, I only got a two-pointer."
The waiter, or waitress, who goes out to the kitchen with an empty butter plate, leaving empty bread plate, milk and water pitchers to await other solitary trips.
The gloom who when he reads this stuff says, "Yeah, I hoid that before!"

The right gift for any occasion
Jryralin
No matter whether for birthday, graduation, wedding, or other anni- versary there is no gift more certain to be appreciated than a set of PYRALIN Toiletware. So beautiful, and yet so useful, it is certain to bring treasured memories of the giver in years to come.
PYRALIN can be obtained in ivory, amber, or shell colors, or in beautiful two-tone effects. You can have either the popular Du Barry, the exquisite La Belle, or the striking new Nemours pattern, according to your taste. You can either buy a complete set or start with just a few pieces, which can be added to in years to come.
PYRALIN is sold in the leading stores everywhere. Be sure you get the genuine — the name stamped on every piece is j'our protection.

HE real mission of the College Class Book is to provide for each graduate a perma- nent record of all that was good in the
"happiest days of life"
It is a completed album of those friends of memory who will never, never grow old — and therefore the pathway back to youth.
Custom has now firmly established the publication, yearly, of a Class Book in nearly every school and col- lege in the land. As the worth of the earlier Class Books becomes more and more evident to their owners, the urge to make bigger, finer and more complete books becomes stronger in the younger college folk.
Thus, today, we find among the biggest and best executed examples of the Designers', Engravers' and Printers' arts, the Class Books of America's great educational institutions.
The Collegiate SeSion of our organization has helped to build some of the very fineS of these books. Complete sympathy with the real purposes of the Class 'Book and genuine appreciation of college sentiments and traditions form the groundwork Upon which we have built this section of our business
