HEADLINING  the  Homecoming 
program  this  year  will  be  the 
football  classic  at  2:00  when  the 
Bisonmen  play  host  to  the  Temple 
Owls.  Preceding  this  in  the  morning 
and  on  Friday,  alumni  golfers  will 
again  be  given  the  opportunity  to 
compete  for  prizes  in  the  Annual 
Alumni  Golf  Tournament.  The  rules 
for  play  as  set  up  last  year  remain 
the  same:  individual  prizes  for  men 
and  women;  six  prizes  in  all:  for  nine 
hole  medal  score,  greatest  number  of 
bobs  (on  green  in  par)  and  jingles 
(one  putt  green).  No  green  fees  will 
be  required  of  alumni.  All,  regardless 
of  class,  degree,  or  residents  are  eli- 
gible. The  club  house  will  be  golfers 
headquarters  November  12  and  13; 
ample  dressing  rooms  will  be  open 
without  charge. 

The  Annual  Alumni  Dinner  and 
Dance  at  the  Women's  College  Din- 
ing Room  is  to  be  continued  in  full 
force  with  the  best  banquet -fare  that 
Mrs.  Sale  can  serve  up  for  alumni 
hungry  from  cheering  a  victorious 
eleven.  The  dance  will  again  feature 
the  swingable  rhythms  of  one  of  the 
number  of  orchestras  which  are  fa- 
vorites with  the  student  body. 

The  large  registration  board  which 
last  Homecoming  so  successfully 
tempted  alumni  in  putting  down  in 
black  and  white  their  names  and 
classes  will  be  an  added  attraction  of 
alumni  headquarters,  where  alumni 
will  also  be  given  Homecoming  Tags

President  s  Page 


Dear  Bucknellian : 

At  the  laying  of  the  corner-stone  of  the  new  gymnasium  on  September 
30th,  a  brief  message  from  each  of  the  ten  men  who  contributed  the  cost  of 
the  first  section  of  the  building  was  sealed  in  the  traditional  copper  box. 

These  brief  messages  reveal  the  Spirit  of  Bucknell  in  its  very  essence, 
so  I  quote  from  four  of  them : 

From  a  trustee  who  gave  $55,000,  "I  trust  that  many  youth  will  be 
stronger  and  finer  and  better".  From  a  trustee  who  gave  $25,000, 
"This  gift  is  inspired  by  my  love  for  Alma  Mater".  From  a  friend 
who  gave  $20,000,  "To  Bucknell  University  in  appreciation  of  its 
work  for  humanity."  And  from  another  trustee,  "God  bless  Bucknell 
and  her  youth". 

There  is  the  whole  range  of  the  Bucknell  idea  in  four  key  words:  Youth  ■ — 
Alma  Mater  —  Humanity  ■ —  God. 

We  are  grateful  indeed  to  these  unnamed  gentlemen  who  have  given 
Bucknell  its  first  section  of  our  longed-for  gymnasium,  and  we  are  grateful 
to  the  Chairman  of  the  New  Gymnasium  Committee,  Judge  J.  Warren  Davis, 
who  is  rendering  his  Alma  Mater  this  splendid  service. 

Now  comes  our  opportunity  to  create  a  new  program  of  physical  educa- 
tion and  health  for  our  women  students,  to  which  I  hope  our  alumnae  will 
give  their  support.  Tustin  Gymnasium  is  inadequate  for  800  young  men,  but 
it  can  be  made  a  very  satisfactory  gymnasium  for  only  half  that  number  of 
young  women.  It  is  our  plan  to  remodel  it,  inside  and  out,  for  the  use  of  our 
women  students,  and  to  give  Loomis  Field  to  them  for  their  out-door  sports, 
as  soon  as  the)  new  gymnasium  is  ready  for  the  men.  We  are  getting  esti- 
mates now  on  the  cost  of  the  remodelling.  The  cost  will  be  modest,  but  the 
values  that  will  accrue  to  the  educational  program  for  our  young  women  will 
be  out  of  all  proportion  to  the  cost.  I  hope  our  alumnae  will  interest  them- 
selves in  this  vastly  important  project. 

Home-Coming  Day  is  on  Saturday,  November  13th,  this  year  and  we 
shall  hope  to  see  a  great  many  of  you  in  Lewisburg  on  that  day.  As  part  of 
the  celebration  we  will  re-dedicate  Old  Main  Restored,  and  will  unveil  a 
tablet  to  the  donor  of  the  new  Central  Section.  This  should  be  a  most  happy 
Home-Coming  for  all.  We  invite  you  most  cordially  to  come  back  to  the 
College  on  the  Hill  on  November  13th. 

With  warm  regards, 

Yours  sincerely, 


Acting   President. 


OCTOBER,  1937 


Work  Formally  Begun 
On  New  Gymnasium 


IMPRESSIVE  corner-stone  laying  ceremonies 
held  Thursday  morning,  September  30th,  on 
North  Field  marked  the  formal  beginning  of 
construction  on  the  University's  new  $400,000  men's 
gymnasium. 

Sitting  under  a  bright  sun,  several  hundred  stu- 
dents and  faculty  members  attended  the  exercises, 
highlighted  by  a  radio  address  by  Judge  Kenesaw 
M.  Landis,  high  commissioner  of  organized  base- 
ball. Speaking  from  the  Chicago  studios  of  the 
National  Broadcasting  Company  over  the  Red  net- 
work, Judge  Landis  was  introduced  by  Vice-Presi- 
dent, R.   H.  Rivenburg. 

Paying  tribute  to  the  late  Christy  Mathewson 
'02,  Bucknell's  most  famous  alumnus  athlete,  Judge 
Landis  said,  "To  you,  assembled  on  the  campus 
of  Bucknell  University  ready  to  lay  the  corner- 
stone of  your  new  gymnasium,  accept  this  word  of 
gratitude  from  professional  baseball  for  having 
helped  to  train  a  great  national  hero  like  Christy 
Mathewson." 

Baseball's  high  commissioner  referred  to  Christy 
Mathewson  as  "a  noble  inspiration  and  influence 
in  the  lives  of  millions  of  boys  and  men  whose 
heroes  are  just  such  men  as  Christy  and  who  un- 
consciously strive  to  be  like  their  heroes.  May 
your  new  gymnasium  help  train  strong  bodies, 
clean  minds,  and  clean  hearts." 

Judge  Landis  concluded  his  talk  by  declaring, 
"President  Marts,  students  and  faculty  of  Bucknell. 
as  you  now  lay  the  cornerstone  of  your  new  gym- 
nasium, organized  baseball,  lovers  of  good  sports- 
manship, and  admirers  of  their  old  idol,  Christy 
Mathewson,  salute  you." 

JOHN  PLANT  SPEAKS 

John  D.  Plant,  for  more  than  a  decade  director 
of  physical  education,  who  spoke  preceding  the  am- 
plification of  Judge  Landis'  address,  described  phy-

sical  education  as  "at  its  best  the  outspoken  cham- 
pion of  play  for  its  own  sake." 

In  his  ten-minute  talk  Mr.  Plant  described  the 
only  successful  physical  education  program  as  being 
one  that  affects  the  physical,  mental,  moral,  and 
spiritual  natures  of  all  who  come  in  contact  with 
it. 

He  told  the  spectators  that  the  world  seems  to  be 
swinging  in  the  direction  of  the  American  ideal  of 
physical  education,  in  which  freedom  is  the  keynote. 

Dr.  Harvey  F.  Smith  '94,  Harrisburg  surgeon 
and  chairman  of  the  trustees'  committee  on  physical 
education  and  student  health,  officiated  at  the  cor- 
nerstone laying  ceremonies,  explaining  to  the  audi- 
ence concerning  items  of  historical  importance 
placed  in  the  cornerstone. 

Material  placed  in  the  cornerstone  included  a 
photograph  of  the  baseball  team  of  1870,  which, 
captained  by  Dr.  W.  C.  Bartol  72,  lost  only  one 
game  in  four  years ;  a  photograph  of  the  1891  foot- 
ball team,  a  record  of  42  important  football  victories, 
a  list  of  18  Bucknell  men  who  have  played  major 
league  baseball,  track  and  field,  basketball,  boxing, 
soccer,  and  tennis  records,  and  two  copies  of  the 
Bucknellian.  Dr.  Smith  read  messages  from  8  trus- 
tees and  2  friends  of  the  University  whose  genero- 
sity provided  the  funds  to  start  the  work. 

BUILDING  PROGRAM 

President    Marts    who    introduced    the    speakers 
from  the  campus  announced  that  the  new  gymna- 
sium is  expected  to  be  ready  for  use  at  the  begin-

Highlights  of  Cornerstone  Broadcast 


DEAN  RIVEN  BURG:  The  students  and  fac- 
ulty and  many  friends  of  Bucknell  University  at 
Lewisburg,  Pennsylvania,  are  gathered  at  this  mo- 
ment on  the  campus  of  the  College,  prepared  to  lay 
the  corner-stone  of  a  splendid  new  gymnasium 
which  is  to  be  erected  this  fall.  I  have  been  asked 
by  the  Board  of  Trustees  of  Bucknell  to  come  to 
Chicago  as  their  representative,  and  in  behalf  of 
Judge  John  Warren  Davis,  Chairman,  and  Mr.  Dan- 
iel C.  Roberts,  Honorary  Chairman,  to  invite  you 
to  send  a  message  on  this  occasion,  for  which  the 
National  Broadcasting  Company  has  graciously  pro- 
vided the  facilities. 

We  have  turned  to  you.  Judge  Landis,  for  such 
a  message,  because  you  are  the  acknowledged  leader 
and  high  Commissioner  of  organized  baseball,  the 
great  American  sport  and  recreation,  and  because 
from  Bucknell  University  came  perhaps  the  great- 
est figure  in  baseball  of  all  time  —  Christy  Mathew- 
son. 

Bucknell  has  two  outstanding  traditions  strik- 
ingly exemplified  by  three  men  who  have  made 
great  contributions  to  American  life.  The  intel- 
lectual tradition,  for  which  the  College  exists,  is 
exemplified  by  David  Jayne  Hill,  for  nine  years 
President  of  Bucknell,  for  eight  years  President  of 
the  University  of  Rochester.  Minister  Plenipoten- 
tiary to  Switzerland,  Ambassador  to  Germany,  and 
delegate  to  the  Second  Peace  Conference  at  The 
Hague  in  1907;  the  intellectual  tradition  at  Buck- 
nell is  also  exemplified  by  General  Tasker  Bliss,  a 
distinguished  scholar  who  read  Latin  and  Greek 
for  pleasure,  and  whose  knowledge,  ability  and 
judgment  were  so  esteemed  by  President  Woodrow 
Wilson  that  he  was  chosen  to  sit  with  the  Presi- 
dent in  the  great  Peace  Conference  at  Versailles. 
The  athletic  tradition,  also  an  honorable  one,  which 
we  are  emphasizing  today,  is  exemplified  by  Christy 
Mathewson,  who  as  a  fine  young  lad  entered  col- 
lege thirty-nine  years  ago  this  month  at  the  age  of 
eighteen,  who  loved  Bucknell,  and  who  would  be 
proud  and  happy  over  the  new  Bucknell  gymna- 
sium if  he  could  have  lived  to  take  part  in  this 
corner-stone  laying.  Christy  lies  buried  in  the 
Lewisburg  Cemetery  just  a  few  rods  from  where 
this  ceremony  is  now  taking  place  on  the  campus 
of  his  College. 

On  the  Christy  Mathewson  Gateway  to  the  Buck- 
nell Memorial  Stadium  there  is  a  bronze  tablet  with 
this  inscription : 

"Christopher  Mathewson 
Athlete  —  Soldier  —  Gentleman" 

It  is  our  hope  that  the  new  gymnasium  at  Bucknell, 
the  corner-stone  of  which  will  be  laid  within  a  few 
minutes,  will  help  to  train  thousands  of  other  young 
men  of  the  present  and  future  generations  in  the 
same  mold  of  moral  character,  intelligence,  bodily 
vigor  and  good  sportsmanship. 

We  are  grateful  to  you,  Judge  Landis,  for  taking 
part  in  this  ceremony  and  will  hear  with  apprecia- 
tion a  message  from  von. 

JUDGE  LANDIS : '  I  well  remember  the  Christy 


Mathewson  Gateway  at  the  Bucknell  Stadium  to 
which  you  have  referred,  for  I  was  present  on  the 
Bucknell  Campus  at  Lewisburg  some  vears  ago 
when  this  gateway  was  dedicated  as  a  Memorial  \o 
Matty.  In  behalf  of  Professional  Baseball  I  helped 
to  dedicate  a  tablet  on  that  gateway  on  which  we 
engraved  these  words :  "He  was  one  of  the  greatest 
figures  in  competitive  sport  of  all  time." 

Christy  Mathewson  deserves  this  tribute  because 
of  his  astounding  feat  as  a  pitcher  and  also  because 
of  his  sterling  character  and  his  fine  influence  over 
the  boys  of  the  Nation  who  idolized  him.  He  was 
a  credit  to  the  College  that  helped  to  train  him,  for 
he  had  brains  and  character  as  well  as  skill.  Johnny 
Evers  once  referred  to  his  intelligence  in  these 
words : 

"He  knew  exactly  what  you  couldn't  hit,  and  that 
was  all  you  had  to  hit  at,  for  he  could  throw  a  ball 
into  a  tin  cup  at  pitching  range." 

Perhaps  his  greatest  pitching  achievement  was 
in  the  1905  World  Series  when  he  pitched  three 
shut-out  games  within  five  days  against  the  hard- 
hitting Philadelphia  Athletics  of  Connie  Mack  and 
won  the  pennant  for  the  Giants. 

The  day  after  Christy  Mathewson  died  at  Sara- 
nac  Lake  in  1925,  Grantland  Rice  summed  up  his 
career  and  paid  him  a  tribute  in  words  which  I 
should  like  to  quote,  as  follows : 

"He  was  the  only  man  I  have  ever  known  who  in 
spirit  and  in  inspiration  was  greater  than  his  game. 
For  he  was  something  more  than  a  great  pitcher. 
He  was  one  of  those  rare  characters  who  appeal  to 
the  millions  through  a  magnetic  personality  attached 
to  clean   honesty  and  undying  loyalty  to  a  cause. 

"He  gripped  the  imagination  of  a  country  that 
held  a  hundred  million  people   and   held  this  grip

John  D.  Plant  as  He  Delivered  the  Principal 
Address  at  the  Dedicatory  Ceremonies 

with  a  firmer  hold  than  any  man  of  his  day  or  time. 
There  might  be  rumors  and  reports  concerning 
others,  but  here  was  one  man  who  was  clean  clear 
through. 

"There  had  been  many  mighty  pitchers.  But 
here  was  a  ball  player  with  ideals,  a  ball  player 
who  lifted  the  game  up  in  place  of  dragging  it  down. 
He  held  public  faith  in  dark  days  when  others  were 
trying  to  destroy  this  faith.  And  with  these  ideals 
he  was  not  walking  along  easy  paths.  Yet  his 
character  was  such  that  he  held  even  the  respect 
of  those  who  had  no  ideals  of  any  sort,  but  could 
still  pay  tribute  to  the  rugged  strength  of  one  who 
was  indifferent  to  any  mockery  or  taunts. 

"Mathewson  was  above  the  clamor  of  the  crowds. 
He  appreciated  the  crowds'  applause,  but  he  also 
knew  the  fickleness  of  fame.  From  the  day  he  first 
walked  upon  the  field  up  to  his  passing  he  set  his  eyes 
upon  a  certain  goal  along  the  road  of  honesty,  clean- 
ness, service  and  loyalty,  and  nothing  could  swerve 
him  from  the  path.  Others  have  been  idols  of  a 
city.  Here  was  a  nation-wide  idol  who  at  no  second 
of  his  career  ever  stepped  into  the  mire.  He  walked 
upon  clean  ground  from  his  first  public  appearance 
to  the  Pennsylvania  grave  that  will  hold  his  dust.'' 
To  you  assembled  on  the  Campus  at  Bucknell  Uni- 
versity ready  to  lay  the  corner-stone  of  your  new 
gymnasium,  accept  this  word  of  gratitude  from  pro- 
fessional baseball  for  having  helped  to  train  a  great 
national  hero  like  Christy  Mathewson.  He  has  been 
a  noble  inspiration  and  influence  in  the  lives  of  mil- 
lions of  boys  and  young  men  whose  heroes  are  just 
such  men  as  Christy,  and  who,  unconsciously,  strive 
to  be  like  their  heroes.  Would  that  American  life 
would  bring  us  more  heroes  like  that,  clean,  win- 
some, conquering.  May  your  new  gymnasium  help 
to  train  strong  bodies,  clean  minds  and  clean  hearts. 
President  Marts,  and  students  and  friends  of  Buck- 
nell, as  you  now  lay  the  corner-stone  of  your  new 
gymnasium,  organized  baseball  and  lovers  of  good 


sportsmanship    and    admirers     of    their    old    idol, 
Christy  Mathewson,  salute  you. 

DEAN  RIVENBURG:  We  are  deeply  grateful 
to  you,  Judge  Landis,  for  your  inspiring  message, 
which  has  been  heard  with  profit  by  the  hundreds 
of  students,  faculty,  and  friends  of  Bucknell,  who 
are  now  laying  the  corner-stone  of  its  splendid  new 
gymnasium  to  be  erected  this  year.  Your  message 
has  now  become  the  public  record,  to  be  preserved 
for  hundreds  of  years  in  the  corner-stone  of  that 
noble  building. 

Over  the  door  of  the  Cornell  University  gymna- 
sium there  was  framed  as  a  motto  a  striking  quo- 
tation from  Bacon : 

"He  who  sinks  his  vessel  by  overloading  it, 
though  it  be  with  gold  and  silver  and  precious 
stones,  will  give  his  owner  but  an  ill  account 
of  his  voyage." 
The  new  Bucknell  gymnasium,  surrounded  by  the 
splendid  playing  fields  of  the  University,  by  help- 
ing many  an  ardent,  overzealous  student  to  develop 
his    physique,    will    throughout    the    coming    years 
make  a  notable  contribution  toward  the  preserva- 
tion and  extension  of  the  intellectual  and  athletic 
traditions  of  Bucknell,  in  whose  behalf  I  thank  you.

OCTOBER,  1937 


Bisons  Tumble  Ursinus,  Lebanon  Valley,  21-0, 13-0 
Lose  a  Tough  One  To  Penn  State  14-20 


PLAYING  under  a  new  coaching  hierarchy  head- 
ed by  Al  Humphreys,  the  Bison  football  team 
has  provided  the  highlight  of  the  fall  sports 
parade  by  displaying  a  fight  and  dash  that  have 
agreeably  surprised  even  the  most  ardent  support- 
ers of  the  new  regime. 

As  they  pounded  out  convincing  victories  over 
Ursinus  and  Lebanon  Valley,  the  Bisons  blocked 
and  tackled  with  a  fervor  that  more  than  compen- 
sated for  any  technical  flaws  in  their  early  season 
play.  Strangely  enough,  this  same  spirit  has  been 
much  in  evidence  during  practice  sessions. 

It's  a  more  colorful  Bucknell  team  on  the  field  this 
year.  Coach  Humphreys  has  introduced  a  tricky 
new  shift  and  an  offense  which  places  more  empha- 
sis upon  the  "open"  game  than  has  been  the  case 
with  Bison  elevens  for  a  number  of  years.  Decep- 
tive reverses  and  passes  will  be  numbered  among 
the  Herd's  most  important  attacking  weapons  dur- 
ing the  remainder  of  the  season. 

Spearhead  of  this  attack,  which  will  be  seen  at 
home  for  the  next  time  on  Friday  night,  October 
15,  when  the  University  of  Miami,  Fla.,  Hurricanes 
visit  Lewisburg,  is  Lou  Tomasetti,  the  Old  Forge 
Express,  who  so  far  this  season  has  been  piling  up 
yardage  in  an  inspired  fashion. 

WATCH  TOMASETTI 

Tomasetti,  fleet  junior  halfback  who  won  a  start- 
ing berth  as  a  sophomore,  averaged  6'/2  yards  every 
time  he  carried  the  ball  against  Ursinus.  Then  a 
week  later  he  was  even  better,  averaging  7Yi  yards 
every  time  his  signal  was  called.  His  specialty  is 
slicing  off  tackle,  then  reversing  his  field  for  long 
gains. 

Aiding  and  abetting  Tomasetti's  efforts  is  this 
season's  sophomore  "sensation",  Frank  Funair,  of 
Walston,  Pa.,  who  has  scored  two  of  the  five  touch- 
downs made  by  the  Herd  in  their  first  two  games. 
His  48-yard  touchdown  dash  following  a  pass  in- 
terception was  the  most  exciting  play  of  the  victory 
over  Ursinus. 

Steading  influences  in  this  year's  team  are  the 
two  senior  co-captains,  Enio  Conti,  191-pound  tackle 
from  Brooklyn,  and  Herb  Bowman,  halfback  from 
Sherrill,  N.  Y.  In  early  season  frays  Bowman  was 
crowded  off  the  field  by  the  capable  work  of  juniors 
and  sophomores,  but  on  the  basis  of  the  stellar 
showing  he  made  in  the  Lebanon  Valley  game,  he 
will  probably  see  greater  service. 

Besides  Conti,  two  other  veterans,  Jack  Lynn, 
of  Kingston,  at  right  tackle,  and  Kurt  Manrodt,  of 
Newark,  N.  J.,  at  right  guard,  bolster  the  starting 
line.    Four  men  playing  their  first  season  of  varsity

football  comprise  the  remainder  of  the  line.  They 
are:  Harry  Wenner,  Philadelphia,  left  end;  Edgar 
Barron,  of  Youngwood,  Pa.,  left  guard;  Harold 
Pegg,  Wilkes-Barre,  center,  and  Hoover  Rhodes, 
Lewisburg,  right  end. 

Bill  Lane,  of  Philadelphia,  a  junior  who  is  the 
team's  most  consistent  punter,  is  the  starting 
quarterback,  with  Sid  Canarick,  of  Glen  Cove,  N.  Y., 
as  his  replacement.  With  Tomasetti  and  either 
Funair  or  Bowman  at  the  halfback  spots,  the  full- 
back billet  is  filled  by  either  sophomore  George 
Kiick  or  Junior  Marty  Quick. 

Replacements  are  far  from  three  deep  at  Bucknell 
this  year,  yet  Coach  Humphreys  has  capable  sub- 
stitutes for  virtually  every  position.  • 

THE  STATE  GAME 

Forced  to  rise  to  top  form  in  the  third  game  of 
the  season,  the  Bisons  fell  before  Penn  State's 
powerful  Nittany  Lions,  20-14,  but  only  after  giving 
a  Homecoming  Day  crowd  at  State  College  the 
scare  of  its  life.  Playing  on  rain-soaked  turf,  an 
inspired  Herd  compelled  the  Lions  to  come  from 
behind  twice,  once  in  the  waning  minutes  of  the 
game,  to  eke  out  the  victory. 

The  Penn  State  power  which  had  almost  beaten 
Cornell  was  present,  but  opposed  to  it  was  a  Buck- 
nell offense  that  provided  two  magnificent  touch- 
down thrusts.  State  scored  early  in  the  first  period, 
but  the  Bisons  quickly  retaliated  in  a  march  featured 
by  Tomasetti's  pass  to  Lane,  who  made  the  six- 
pointer  on  a  short  plunge.    The  Lions  went  ahead, 

13  to  7,  by  scoring  their  second  touchdown  in  the 
second  period. 

At  half-time,  many  in  the  crowd  were  convinced 
that  Humphrey's  team  had  shot  its  bolt,  was  a 
thoroughly  beaten  eleven,  since  it  lacked  the  re- 
serve strength  to  cope  with  State's  second  half 
rush.  They  were  jarred  from  their  seats  when  the 
Bisons  dominated  the  play  in  the  third  period  and 
then  deadlocked  the  score  early  in  the  final  canto 
after  Funair  recovered  a  fumble  on  the  25. 

Driving  toward  the  goal,  Bucknell  scored  when 
Jones  flicked  a  pass  to  Wenner.  George  Kiick  con- 
verted the  extra  point,  and  the  Bisons  were  ahead, 

14  to  13.  Trying  desperately  to  cling  to  this  meagre 
advantage  during  the  final  half  of  the  fourth  period, 
the  Bisons  fought  a  losing  battle  as  their  reserve 
strength  began  to  play  out.  Finally,  with  about  four 
minutes  left  to  play,  Jack  Patrick  circled  left  end 
for  the  winning  touchdown.

BUILDING   PROGRESS 

East  Wing  of  Old  Main  was 
completed  in  time  to  accommo- 
date the  arrival  of  freshmen  and 
upperclass  tenants.  The  first 
floor  of  this  wing  was  ready  for 
use  early  in  the  summer  when  a 
number  of  the  Administrative 
Offices  moved  into  their  new 
quarters.  Among  this  group  are 
Dean  of  Men,  Summer  Session 
and  Extension,  Engineering,  Pub- 
licity and  Athletic  Council,  Build- 
ing and  Grounds,  Christian  Asso- 
ciation, and  Alumni.  The  alumni 
headquarters  are  now  contained 
in  a  suite  of  three  rooms,  a  work 
room,  office  of  the  secretary,  and 
alumni  lounge.  Workmen  are 
rushing  construction  of  the  center 
section  and  anticipate  completion 
at  an  early  date.  The  ground 
floor  of  this  section  will  include 
offices  of  the  President  and  Dean, 
and  a  large  entrance  lobby.  In 
the  basement  will  be  a  complete 
postoffice  service  for  faculty 
members  and  students  living  on 
the  Hill ;  a  mailing  room,  dark 
room  for  developing  photographs, 
and  a  room  for  commuting  stu- 
dents. 

The  second  floor  will  be  de- 
voted to  student  activities  of  var- 
ious kinds,  and  will  include  rec- 
reation rooms,  while  the  third 
floor  of  the  center  section  provides 
dormitory  facilities  for  17  stu- 
dents. Each  wing  of  the  building 
provides  living  quarters  for  51 
students  on  the  second,  third, 
and  fourth  floors. 

The  interior  of  Harris  Hall  has 
been  completely  renovated,  with 
new  lighting,  woodwork,  painting 
and  plumbing.  In  West  College, 
showers  have  been  installed  on 
each  floor,  and  the  old  shower 
room  in  the  cellar  converted  for 
use  by  the  Economics  Depart- 
ment as  a  classroom. 

Rooms  on  the  ground  floor  of 
West  College  used  for  offices 
since  the  burning  of  Old  Main, 
and  prior  to  reconstruction,  have 
been  converted  into  classrooms  for 
use  of  the  Commerce  and  Finance 
Department. 

PEACHY  KLING 

Peachy  Kling  is  dead.  The  man 
who   cared   for   Bucknell  athletes 


both  as  a  trainer  and  as  a  prop- 
erty man  for  the  past  three  de- 
cades suffered  a  fatal  heart  at- 
tack early  in  August. 

George  "Peachy"  Kling  had 
long  been  linked  with  Bucknell 
athletic  history  having  come  to 
Lewisburg  in  1906  to  train  the 
athletic  teams  at  the  time  when 
"Doc"  Hoskins  was  head  coach. 
Kling  was  promoted  to  chief 
trainer  in  1910  and  served  in  this 
capacity   for  23   years   before   in- 


George   "Peachy"   Kling 

creasing  duties  of  the  position  and 
ill  health  forced  an  addition  to 
the  department.  He  served  many 
different  coaching  regimes  during 
his  long  tenure  with  the  Bisons 
and  many  hundreds  of  athletes 
came  to  know  and  respect  the 
soothing  touch  of  his  trained 
fingers.  He  is  survived  by  his 
widow  and  one  daughter  living  at 
home,  one  son,  and  his  father,  also 
of  Lewisburg. 

At  the  request  of  the  Kling 
family,  the  following  former  Bi- 
sonmen  acted  as  pallbearers : 
George  McGaughey  '35,  Tohnnie 
Sitarsky  '36,  Bob'  Pethick  '36, 
Jack  Filer  '37,  Ray  Green  '37,  and 
Mose  Quinn  '34. 

"Two  generations  of  students 
and  their  relatives  and  friends 
loved,  admired  and  respected 
"Peachy"  Kling,  not  for  his  high- 
sounding  title  or  college  degrees, 
for  he  had  none ;  not  for  his  gran- 
diose and  impressive  manner,  for 


he  was  the  soul  of  simplicity;  not 
for  his  claims  of  being  master 
mind,  for  he  achieved  whatever 
success  was  his  through  humble, 
unremitting  service.  His  homely 
philosophy,  his  wholesome  advice 
left  as  lasting  an  imprint  upon  the 
minds  of  the  athletes  among 
whom  he  worked  as  any  lessons 
learned  in  the  classroom."

OCTOBER,  1937 


DAVIS  HONORED 

Sixteen  former  students  and 
associates  of  Dr.  Nelson  F.  Davis, 
Professor  of  Biology  wrote  scien- 
tific articles  for  a  privately  printed 
testimonial  volume  published  in 
honor  of  Dr.  Davis'  65th  birth- 
day anniversary.  A  copy  of  the 
book  was  presented  to  Dr.  Davis, 
Tuesday  afternoon,  August  10,  at 
a  birthday  celebration  at  the  For- 
est Inn,  Eagles  Mere.  Forty-five 
former  students  and  friends  of  the 
professor,  who  has  been  a  member 
of  the  Bucknell  faculty  since  1898, 
were  present. 

Dr.  Heber  W.  Youngken  '09, 
of  the  Massachusetts  College  of 
Pharmacy,  was  chairman  of  the 
editorial  committee  for  the  birth- 
day volume,  which  was  printed  in 
Boston.  Dr.  J.  Herbert  Waite  '11, 
Professor  of  Ophthalmology  at 
Harvard  University,  also  was 
active  in  publishing  the  book,  and 
served  as  toastmaster  at  the  birth- 
day gathering.  The  book,  an 
artistically  printed  voume  of  124 
pages,  contains  articles  in  special 
scientific  fields  by  16  men,  as  well 
as  a  foreword  describing  the  high- 
lights of  Dr.  Davis'  life  and  his 
contributions  to  the  development 
of  Bucknell.  Dr.  Davis'  efforts 
made  possible  the  development  of 
a  strong  biological  department  at 
Bucknell,  the  foreword  points  out. 
Dr.  Davis  was  graduated  from 
Bucknell  with  a  Bachelor  of 
Science  degree  in  1895,  receiving 
a  Master  of  Science  diploma  a 
year  later.  In  1898,  he  became  an 
instructor  in  biology,  and  four 
years  later  was  made  a  professor. 
The  growth  of  Bucknell's  biology 
department  has  paralleled  his 
career. 

Virtually  all  the  men  who  con- 
tributed their  scientific  knolwedge 
to  the  birthday  volume  are  auth- 
orities in  some  specialized  field 
of  science.  The  16  authors  are:

year  of  professional  baseball." 


LINE  COACH 

The  appointment  of  S.  J.  "Bus"

CONVOCATION   SPEAKER 

Public  life  and  the  use  of  leisure 
time  are  two  fields  in  which  the 
trained  mind  can  find  scope  for 
its  activities,  Dr.  Guy  E.  Snavely, 
of  New  York  and  Birmingham, 
Ala.,  executive  secretary  of  the 
Association  of  American  Colleges, 
told  students  September  23  at  the 
annual  fall  convocation  of  the 
University. 

"Chance  favors  the  prepared 
mind,"  Dr.  Snavely,  who  is  presi- 
dent of  Birmingham  Southern 
College,  said.  "The  trained  mind 
is  ready  for  the  chance  when  it 
comes." 

The  noted  educator  deplored 
the  fact  that  college-trained  people 
take  little  interest  in  public  af- 
fairs, suggesting  that  the  edu- 
cated should  study  public  events, 
vote  regularly,  and  stand  for  of- 
fice if  they  discern  a  need  for  bet- 
ter administration. 

With  the  machine  as  their 
slave,  moderns  will  establish  a 
flourishing  civilization  if  leisure 
time  can  be  utilized  wisely,  Dr. 
Snavely  predicted.

Symposium    courses,    bringing    a 
dozen     outstanding    personalities 
to  the  campus  in  addition  to  the

was  divided  into  five  major  units, 
each    introduced    by    one    of    the 
men  named  above.   To  the  sympo- 
sium course  in  international  rela-

ington   University,    specialist    in 
Latin-American   affairs ;  and   Ed-

ington,  D.   C.   from   the   republic 
of  Mexico.

local  centers.  This  symposium, 
which  aims  to  acquaint  teachers

ciples and  techniques  of  guidance 
in  our  school  program,  has  already

Scranton,  Hazleton,  and  Harris- 
burg,  and  is  acceptable  in  partial 
fulfillment    of    requirements    for 


CHAPEL  SERIES 

Plans  for  a  new  chapel  series

1864 

Word  has  just  been  received  of  the 
death  of  Mrs.  John  Reilly  of  Over- 
brook  which  occurred  July  9.  Mrs. 
Reilly   was    the   former    Anna    Lloyd. 

1872 

John  H.  Wingert,  who  celebrated 
the  65th  anniversary  of  his  gradu- 
ation in  June,  died  September  13th  in 
the  Johns  Hopkins  Hospital,  Baltimore 
where  he  had  been  a  patient  for  the 
past  month.  His  death  was  caused  by 
a  complication  of  ailments.  At  the 
June  Commencement,  Mr.  Wingert, 
with  Dr.  William'  C.  Bartol  shared  the 
distinction  of  being  the  only  living 
members  of  the  University  Class  of 
'72.  Mr.  Wingert,  who  was  84,  was 
one  of  the  oldest  alumni  of  Bucknell 
and  of  Sigma  Chi.  He  taught  school 
for  a  period  of  35  years  in  the  schools 
of  Union  and  Northumberland  Coun- 
ties and  was  for  many  years  active 
in  local  politics,  having  served  one 
term   as    County    Commissioner. 

1877 

The  death  of  Clara  Ann  Beck  oc-

Miss  Beck  who  had  been  active  for 
many  years  in  historical  and  genea- 
logical circles  in  Montgomery  and 
Northampton  Counties  was  77.  She

Kin  of  George  Wolf,  Governor  of 
Pennsylvania,  1829-1835,"  and  wrote 
numerous  articles  and  pamphlets  on 
historical  subjects.  She  was  graduated 
from  the  Bucknell  Institute  at  the 
age  of  16,  being  the  youngest  stu- 
dent ever  to  receive  its  degree,  and 
received  a  special  invitation  to  at- 
tend the  recent  Commencement  events 
but  was  unable  to  make  the  trip  to

1899 

Dr.  Frank  J.  Rawlinson,  one  of 
China's  best-known  missionaries,  was 
one  of  8  Americans  and  Europeans 
killed  during  the  August  14  bombing 
of  Shanghai.     The  Christian  Century 


Dr.   Frank  J.   Rawlinson 

issue  of  August  25th  paid  the  follow- 
ing tribute  to  this  distinguished  Buck- 
nellian:  "He  was  a  scholar  in  no  re- 
spect inferior  to  Robert  Morrison  and 
Timothy  Richards  and  'other  giants  of 
the  old  days'  among  missionaries  in 
China,  but  Rawlinson's  scholarship 
was  of  the  sort  that  kept  him  in  close 
touch  with  the  life  of  the  Chinese  na- 
tion and  aware  of  and  informed  about 
her  problems.  His  article,  (China 
Opens  the  Door)  which  it  is  our  pri- 
vilege to  present  in  this  issue,  reveals 
the  fineness  of  his  sympathy  with  a 
struggling  people  and  the  firmness 
of  his  grasp  upon  the  service  which 
the  Christian  church  may  hope  to 
render  to  it.  When  the  Christian  Cen- 
tury first  set  up  its  staff  of  news 
correspondents,  it  turned  to  Frank 
Rawlinson  as  the   man  ideally  fitted 


to  be  its  representative  in  China,  and 
this  paper  suffers  a  direct  and  ir- 
remediable loss  in  his  death."  Life 
(August  30)  carried  the  following  ac- 
count of  Dr.  Rawlinson's  tragic  death: 
"Dr.  Rawlinson  had  reached  the  edge 
of  the  International  Settlement,  when 
one  bomb  fell  squarely  into  a  crowd 
of  Chinese  refugees.  He  stopped  his 
car,  stepped  out  just  as  another  bomb 
crashed  near  him.  He  was  killed  in- 
stantly. His  capable  wife,  Florence 
Lang  Rawlinson,  managed  to  drag 
his  body  back  into  the  car  and  drive 
to   the   morgue   before    she   collapsed. 

"Dr.  Rawlinson  had  been  a  keyman 
in  the  old  missionary  quarrel  over 
whether  to  give  China  Christianity 
straight  or  mixed.  Born  a  poor  Eng- 
lishman, educated  in  U.  S.  colleges, 
father  of  eight  by  two  wives,  he  ar- 
mired  Chinese  culture.  In  1914,  he 
became  editor  of  the  Chinese  Recorder 
in  Shanghai,  made  it  the  world's  best 
religious  magazine.  His  liberalism 
so  dismayed  his  own  Baptists  that 
they  asked  him  to  quit  the  editorship. 
He  quit  the  Baptists,  devoted  himself 
to  explaining  China  to  Christian  mis- 
sionaries as  well  as  explaining  Christ- 
ianity to  the  Chinese.  He  wrote  a 
simple  life  of  Christ  in  Chinese  and 
books  on  "Chinese  Ideas  of  the  Sup- 
reme Being."  He  felt  China  could 
take  Christianity  without  ceasing  to 
be   Chinese." 

Beside  his  wife,  he  is  survived  by 
3  daughters  and  five  sons,  one  of 
whom,  Alfred  H.  Rawlinson,  '29,  is 
also  a  graduate  of  Bucknell.

now  Vice-President  of  that  firm.  His 
present  activities  are  connected  with 
the  new  pulp  and  paper  mill  develop-

J.  Sanford  Davis  died  August  31 
following  an  operation  for  appendi- 
citis. His  wife,  Isabel,  and  two  child- 
ren, Marion,  wife  of  Dr.  Leslie  E.

the   energy   and   courtesy  with   which 


Dr.  Fries  as  Director  of  the  Institute 
had  conducted  its  second  session  on 
the  Michigan  Campus.  So  thoroughly 
successful  was  the  1937  session  that

joint  auspices  it  was  held,  voted 
to  continue  the  Institute  at  Michi-

lecturers  included  some  of  the  most 
distinguished  American  linguistic 
scholars.  Under  Dr.  Fries'  able  lead- 
ership the  Institute  has  come  to  oc-

REN20,  TEMPLE,  RETURNING    A      PUI 


Editors  Corner 

THE  seventeenth  Homecoming  Day 
dawned  wet  and  soggy.  It  will  go 
down  in  the  annals  of  the  local 
weather  bureau  as  a  super-saturated 
Saturday.  After  Old  Main  had  been 
rededicated,  as  if  by  p rearrangement, 
the  elements  relented  to  reward  the 
stouthearted  who  had  splashed  to 
Lewisburg  through  the  twenty-four 
hour  downpour. 

FOLLOWING  our  announcement  of 
the  Homecoming  Program  in  the 
last  issue,  an  elaborate  Homecom- 
ing Parade  was  arranged  and  staged 
by  a  representative  committee  of  Lew- 
isburg business  men  and  University 
officials.  Although  postponed  until  the 
evening  and  dampened  by  the  events 
of  the  day,  the  final  line-up  of  floats 
showed  nearly  40  salvaged  out  of  the 
75  entries.  Next  year  the  Parade 
promises  to  be  an  added  bright  spot 
of  the  day's  program. 

ALTHOUGH  the  attendance  at 
the  annual  Homecoming  Dinner 
was  slightly  diminished  by  the 
outside  influences,  the  enthusiasm  was 
unabated.  The  Glee  Club  as  usual 
gave  a  fine  accounting  with  the  intro- 
duction of  a  new  football  song,  "Go 
Bisons",  written  by  Cam  Rutledge 
'33,  a  former  Gleeman. 

ON  October  16,  the  first  meeting 
of  the  current  year  of  the  Of- 
ficers and  Executive  Committee 
of  the  Alumni  Association  was  called 
to  order  by  Dr.  Carl  Millward,  Presi- 
dent. Other  members  present  were 
the  Secretary  and  Treasurer  and  W. 
C.  Lowther  of  the  Executive  Commit- 
tee. The  proposal  was  presented  to 
share  the  net  profits  of  the  Alumni 
Ball  over  and  above  last  year's  net 
with  the  newly  organized  "B"  Club 
to  assist  them  in  laying  a  nest  egg 
for  the  purchase  of  "B"  sweaters  for 
qualified  wearers.  The  proposal  was 
referred  to  a  committee  consisting  of 
the  Graduate  Manager,  the  Director 
and  Assistant  Director  of  Physical 
Education,  and  the  Treasurer.  This 
Club  which  is  an  association  of  letter- 
men  has  as  its  objectives:  (1)  the 
placing  of  the  award  of  the  Varsity 
"B"  on  a  higher  plane  to  foster  school 
spirit  and  (2)  the  association  of  un- 
dergraduate and  graduate  members  in 
the  stimulation  of  the  quantity  of  ath- 
letic material  and  the  quality  of  var- 
sity athletics. 

IN  accordance  with  the  By-Laws  of 
the  Association,  the  following 
Alumni  Trustee  Nominating  Com- 
mittee was  appointed:  Julius  F.  See- 
bach,  '20,  Chairman.  Paul  E.  Fink,  '29, 
and  Mrs.  Carolyn  Hunt  Mahaffey  '25. 
The  Secretary  hereby  gives  notice 
that  this  committee  will  now  receive 
nominations  for  Alumni  Trustee,  nom- 
inations to  close  January  31  (Ar- 
ticle XIII,  Sec.  2.) 

THANKS  to  the  financial  interest 
taken  in  the  Alumni  Ball  by  the 
"B"  Club  through  undergraduate 
sales  promotion,  the  alumni  were 
treated  to  the  melodies  of  Woody  Her- 
man  and  his  orchestra,  NBC  and  re- 
cording favorites.  The  receipts  show- 
ed that  over  450  couples  approved  of 
the  selection.

Dear  Bucknellians: 

Christmas  is  a  holiday  which  centers  about  the  family;  which 
renews  our  affections  for  home  and  mother. 

At  this  Christmas  Season,  your  "other  mother"  —  Bucknell  — 
mother  of  your  youthful  aspirations  and  high  endeavors,  sends 
you  her  message  of  affection,  also. 

Your  Alma  Mater  "cares"  about  you;  rejoices  in  your 
achievements;  mourns  your  disappointments;  hopes  and  prays 
that  you  will  never  falter  in  your  quest  for  the  upper  levels  of 
living. 

May  you  and  yours  enjoy  a  Merry  Christmas  and  a  Happy 
New  Year. 


With  kind  regards, 


Yours  sincerely,

Acting  President 


DECEMBER,  1937 


A  Message  from  the  President 


Alumni  Cooperation  With  Bucknells  Freshman 
Admissions  Program  Is  Invited 


-Arnaud  C.  Marts 


"A1 


N  ever-normal  enrollment 
of  1200  resident  students" 
is  the  ideal  toward  which 
Bucknell's  Freshman  Admissions 
Program  aims.  This  is  the  full 
capacity  of  our  present  buildings ; 
—  our  class-rooms,  laboratories, 
dormitories,  and  library ;  and  this 
represents  a  full  teaching  load  for 
our  splendid  faculty.  Maximum 
educational  efficiency  can  be 
maintained  at  Bucknell  with  a 
constant  enrollment  of  this  size. 
Sharp  fluctuations,  either  up  or 
down,  from  this  level  are  extreme- 
ly costly. 

In  accordance  with  the  tradi- 
tional ratio  between  the  sexes  at 
Bucknell  of  two  men  students  to 
one  woman  student,  which  has 
helped  put  Bucknell  among  the 
two  or  three  outstanding  co-edu- 
cational liberal  arts  colleges  of 
the  East,  this  normal  enrollment 
of  1200  students  comprises  about 
800  men  and  about  400  women. 

In  terms  of  the  enrollment  of 
Freshmen,  this  ever-normal  total 
enrollment  of  1200  means  a  nor- 
mal freshman  class  each  year  of 
approximately  400  students  — 
about  267  freshmen  men  and 
about   133  freshmen  women. 


It  is  in  connection  with  the  en- 
listment of  a  well  selected  fresh- 
man class  of  about  400  that  the 
cooperation  of  alumni  and  stu- 
dents and  friends  is  invited.  They 
are  the  most  important  factor  in 
the  Freshman  Admissions  Pro- 
gram, for  70%  of  the  freshmen 
who  come  to  Bucknell  do  so  be- 
cause other  Buckneliians  have  ad- 
vised them  to  do  so. 


Our  Registrar,  H.  Walter 
Holter,  who  has  charge  of  Stu- 
dent Admissions,  has  appointed  a 
young  alumnus,  Lee  Francis  Ly- 
barger, Jr.,  Bucknell  1928,  as  Di- 
rector of  Admissions.  Mr.  Ly- 
barger  will  spend  his  entire  time 
this  year  in  the  field  working  with 
those  alumni  who  may  wish  a 
representative  of  the  College  to 
interview  certain  prospective 
freshmen  in  their  communities. 

APPOINTED 


Lee  Francis  Lybarger,  Jr.,  '28 
Director  of  Admissions 

A  Freshman  Admissions  Alum- 
ni Committee  is  being  organized 
in  each  county  in  Pennsylvania, 
New  Jersey,  New  York,  Delaware, 
and  in  other  important  centers, 
such  as  Baltimore,  Washington, 
Cleveland,  etc.  A  quota  for  Fresh- 
man Admissions  from  their  coun- 
ty will  be  given  each  such  Alum- 
ni Committee, 


Of  these  400  freshmen,  approx- 
imately 235  will  come  from  Penn- 
sylvania, approximately  80  will 
come  from  New  Jersey,  approxi- 
mately 75  will  come  from  New 
York  and  the  balance  from  other 
states. 


Will  you  send  in  immediately 
to  Mr.  Holter  the  names  of  pros- 
pective freshmen  of  your  acquaint- 
ance to  whom  Bucknell  literature 
can  be  sent?  Will  you  send  for 
Mr.  Lybarger  when  you  wish  a 
prospective  freshman  interviewed 
personally,  or  when  you  can  ar- 
range for  him  to  speak  in  your 
High  School?  He  is  one  of  the 
most  eloquent  speakers  and  de- 
baters who  has  graduated  from 
Bucknell  in  recent  years. 


Bucknell  especially  asks  her 
Alumni's  assistance  in  the  search 
for  "quality"  freshmen,  —  young 
men  and  women  with  those  qual- 
ities of  mind  and  personality,  and 
character  and  ambition,  and  self- 
reliance,  and  grit  that  lead  them 
to  appreciate  to  the  full  Buck- 
nell's opportunities.  "Such  youth 
are  the  future  leaders  of  the 
world,"  said  President  Harris,  and 
such  youth  we  long  to  serve  in 
the  College  on  the  Hill. 
*     *     * 

We  earnestly  invite  your  full 
cooperation  in  helping  in  this 
Freshman  Admissions  Program. 
If  you  will  help  us  maintain  "an 
ever-normal  enrollment  of  1200 
resident  students  at  Bucknell,"  of 
high  quality,  we  will  maintain  a 
standard  of  educational  efficiency 
of  which  you  will  be  increasingly 
proud. 


Central  Section  of 
Old  Main  Renamed 
Daniel  C.  Roberts 
Hall     »     » 


Bucknell  Benefactor  Visits  Campus 

for  First  Time 


Principals   in   Old   Main   Dedication 
President  Marts  Mr.  Roberts  Judge  Davis 


THE  central  portion  of  reconstructed  Old  Main 
will  henceforth  be  known  as  Daniel  C.  Roberts 
Hall,  Judge  J.  Warren  Davis,  acting  chairman 
of  the  Board  of  Trustees,  announced  during  the  im- 
pressive   dedicatory    ceremonies,    high-lighting    an 
overcast  Alumni  Homecoming  afternoon. 

At  the  same  ceremony  a  new  gift  of  $50,000  from 


Bronze  Plaque  Unveiled  to  Daniel  C.  Roberts 


Mr.  Roberts  toward  the  building  program  was  an- 
nounced by  Judge  Davis.  Earlier  benefactions  of 
the  Wilkes-Barre  philanthropist  had  included 
$100,000  toward  the  Old  Main  reconstruction  and 
$50,000  toward  the  fund  for  a  new  men's  gymnasium. 

A  bronze  plaque  to  Mr.  Roberts,  who  is  honorary 
chairman  of  the  Board  of  Trustees,  was  unveiled  in 
the  lobby  of  Old  Main  during  the  rededication. 

"This  is  sacred  ground,"  declared  Acting  Presi- 
dent Marts  in  opening  his  dedicatory  address,  "and 
we  make  it  more  sacred  in  the  performance  of  this 
duty."  He  then  recounted  the  history  of  Old  Main, 
from  the  time  when  a  committee  headed  by  Dr. 
Taylor,  Bucknell's  first  Acting  President,  staked 
out  the  outlines  of  the  original  building  in  the  snow 
nearly  90  years  ago,  to  the  time  when  the  central 
section  was  "utterly  destroyed"  and  the  wings  left 
as  "mere  hollow  shells"  by  the  fire  of  1932. 

Old  Main  was  designed  by  Thomas  U.  Walters 
"who  was  the  foremost  architect  of  America  of  his 
day.  It  was  he  who  designed  the  dome  of  our  na- 
tional capitol,  the  Congressional  Library  and  other 
important  buildings  in  Washington.  Mr.  Walters 
drew  the  design  for  this  building  and  gave  it  to  the 
College.  Soon,  this  great  structure  began  to  rise  as 
money  for  its  construction  was  subscribed.  When 
it  was  completed,  it  enjoyed  the  distinction  of  being 
the  largest  college  building  in  the  country,  and  was 
regarded  by  many  as  the  most  beautiful,"  President 
Marts  said. 

He  told  how  "a  modest  gentleman  in  Wilkes- 
Barre  was  quietly  watching  the  progress  of  the  re- 
construction and  was  shaping  his  plans  in  his  own 
mind,  plans  that  were  to  make  us  joyous  when  the 
time  came  for  him  to  announce  them. 

"The  acquisition  of  a  great  fortune  often  has  a 
most   unfortunate    effect    on    many   people.      Some

people  it  makes  hard  and  unkind.  Others  it  renders 
greedy  for  more  and  always  more.  Others  it  may 
make  proud  and  vain  and  haughty.  But  now  and 
then  men  acquire  great  fortunes  and  remain  as  mod- 
est, as  kindly,  as  generous,  as  sympathetic  as  they 
were  in  their  early  days  of  struggle.  Such  was  the 
effect  of  great  business  success  upon  him  whom 
we  honor  here  today,  Mr.  Daniel  C.  Roberts  of 
Wilkes-Barre.  It  was  he  who  quietly  watched  the 
progress  of  our  building  efforts  here,  and  it  was  he 
who,  out  of  the  sympathy  and  generosity  of  his 
great  heart,  gave  the  hundred  thousand  dollars 
which  was  needed  to  rebuild  this  Central  Section  of 
Old  Main.  To  Mr.  Roberts,  Bucknell  owes  this 
beautiful  and  lovely  building;  had  it  not  been  for 
his  gifts,  this  important  central  section  could  not 
have  been  rebuilt. 

"It  is  one  of  the  happiest  privileges  of  my  life  now, 
in  behalf  of  the  Board  of  Trustees,  the  Faculty,  to 
help  unveil  this  tablet  so  that  all  who  hereafter  pass 
this  way  may  read  this  inscription  upon  it. 

"Mr.  Roberts,  it  is  a  high  honor  which  comes  to 
few  men  to  have  such  words  inscribed  in  deathless 
bronze  and  hung  in  the  corridor  of  a  great  college. 
But  this  is  not  an  honor  conferred  upon  you  from 
the  outside.  It  is  an  honor  which  your  own  spirit 
and  your  acts  have  won  for  yourself.  And  it  is  an 
honor  which  will  be  engraved  not  only  upon  im- 
perishable bronze ;  it  will  be  engraved  upon  some- 
thing still  more  immortal,  —  the  hearts  of  youth, 
endless  lines  of  Bucknell  youth,  stretching  farther 
into  the  future  than  any  of  us  can  see  or  imagine. 

"Many  other  memorials  have  been  placed  in  rooms 
and  sections  of  the  two  wings  of  this  building.  Ad- 
ditional memorial  plates  will  be  put  in  place  —  to 
commemorate  gifts  of  other  trustees  and  alumni  and 


friends  of  Bucknell  ranging  in  amounts  from  one 
thousand  to  fifty  thousand  dollars  each.  Names 
dear  to  us  all  will  be  held  sacred  in  perpetuity  by 
these  plates  which  have  been  put  and  will  be  put 
upon  certain  doorways  in  these  wings. 

"With  all  our  hearts  we  thank  each  of  you  who 
have  helped  to  put  this  beautiful  building  back  into 
the  active  service  of  God  and  of  humanity. 

"And  now,  by  the  authority  vested  in  me  by  the 
act  of  the  Board  of  Trustees  of  Bucknell  University, 
I  declare  that  this  Central  Section  is  hereafter  to  be 
known  by  us  as  The  Daniel  C.  Roberts  Hall  and  I 
offer  to  you,  Mr.  Roberts,  the  deep  gratitude  of  all 
Bucknellians." 

Judge  J.  Warren  Davis,  chairman  of  the  Board  of 
Trustees  and  manager  of  the  campaign  for  building 
funds,  assisted  President  Marts  in  unveiling  the 
plaque.  Reading  from  the  inscription  on  the  tablet, 
Judge  Davis  described  the  Wilkes-Barre  man  as  "a 
business  man  of  outstanding  achievement,  a  friend 
of  ambitious  youth  and  a  generous  benefactor  of 
humanity." 

Those  present  at  the  ceremony  applauded  as  Mr. 
Roberts  arose  and  acknowledged  the  gratitude  which 
President  Marts  had  extended  him  in  behalf  of 
Bucknell. 

The  Reverend  Charles  Roush,  '09,  pastor  of  the 
church  Mr.  Roberts  attends  in  Wilkes-Barre,  made 
the  dedicatory  prayer. 

Preceding  the  ceremony,  The  Bucknell  Band 
played  familiar  Bucknell  songs.  A  double  quartet 
from  the  Girls'  Glee  Club  sang  "Invocation  to  Life" 
by  Charles  Gilbert  Spross,  and  an  arrangement  by 
Professor  Gies  of  "Fair  Bucknell"  by  Dr.  Bartol.

WILLIAM  EMMET  MARTIN 


LOVER  OF  BOOKS  AND  MEN— AN  APPRECIATION 

By  Prof.  Lewis  E.  Theiss,  '02 

Last  year  a  Friend  of  the  Library,  who  did  not  wish  his  name  mentioned,  forwarded  a  check 
for  fifty  dollars  for  the  purchase  of  the  latest  and  most  authoritative  books  in  the  field  of  so- 
ciology, logic  and  anthropology.  This  generous  and  unsolicited  gift  was  presented  as  a  memo- 
rial to  Dr.  Wm.  E.  Martin,  who  for  twenty-five  years  served  Bucknell  so  ably  as  professor  of 
sociology,  logic  and  anthropology. 

It  is  hoped  that  other  Friends  of  the  Library  as  well  as  former  students  and  friends  of  Pro- 
fessor Martin  will  add  substantial  gifts  of  books  or  money  this  year  to  this  initial  gift.  Certainly 
no  more  fitting  tribute  to  the  memory  of  Bucknell' s  gifted  librarian  could  possibly  be  made 
than  this,  for  Professor  Martin  loved  books  almost  as  much  as  he  loved  men.  Each  volume 
will  contain  an  appropriate  Friend  of  the  Library  bookplate,  giving  the  name  and  class  of  the 
donor.    All  books  thus  acquired  will  be  known  as  the  "Dr.  Wm.  E.  Martin  Collection." 

- — Norman  E.  Henry,  President,  Friends  of  the  Library. 


WHEN  the  frightful 
flood  of  1889  swept 
through  Western 
Pennsylvania,  damag- 
ing, weakening,  and  ut- 
terly destroying  bridge 
after  bridge  in  the  var- 
ious watercourses,  there 
was  one  bridge  that 
stood  like  the  Rock  of 
Gibraltar.  In  vain  the 
rushing  waters  tore  at 
its  foundations.  Fruit- 
lessly the  masses  of  de- 
bris battered  its  struc- 
ture. When  the  river 
had  subsided,  there 
stood  the  bridge,  un- 
harmed. 

It  was  a  Pennsylvania 
Railroad  bridge  over  the 
Kiskiminetas  River.  So 
impressed  by  the  quality 
of  this  structure  were 
the  P.  R.  R.  officials  that 
they  caused  a  bronze 
tablet  to  be  affixed  to  it. 
This  tablet,  after  telling 
the  tale  of  the  flood,  paid 
honor  to  the  builder  of 
the  bridge  —  that  ster- 
ling stone  mason,  John 
Martin.  It  was  his  ma- 
sonry that  stood  when 
the  masonry  in  other 
bridges   was  torn  apart. 

That  outstanding  mason,  John  Martin,  was  the 
father  of  the  late  William  Emmet  Martin,  for  many 
long  years  librarian  of  the  Bucknell  Library.  If  ever 
character  was  transmitted  by  heredity,  here  was  a 
case.  "Like  father,  like  son"  might  appropriately 
have  been  coined  in  relation  to  these  two  men.  And 
the  characteristic  that  was  so  strikingly  transmitted 
from  one  to  the  other  was  that  of  reliability,  de- 
pendability. 

John  Martin  labored  with  stone,  William  Emmet 
Martin  worked  with  books  and  human  beings.  So 
far  as  the  books  were  concerned,  he  had  little  to 


Dr.  Wm.  E.  Martin,  Professor  and  Librarian 


work  with.  He  directed 
the  Bucknell  Library  in 
a  day  when  the  student 
body  was  small,  money 
was  scarce,  and  purse 
strings  even  in  the  case 
of  a  college  were  cus- 
tomary tightly  drawn. 
Yet  somehow  he  got 
books  together,  often 
buying  them  with  his 
own  funds,  and  little  by 
little  he  expanded  and 
enriched  the  contents 
of  the  Bucknell  Library. 
His  official  title  was 
that  of  librarian,  but  re- 
ally, he  was  the  library. 
He  had  few  helpers,  and 
those  were  untrained 
student  assistants.  They 
knew  little  about  the 
books  they  passed  out 
to  their  fellow  students. 
Dr.  Martin  knew  every- 
thing about  them.  One 
had  only  to  say  to  him, 
"I  am  interested  in  such 
and  such  a  subject.  What 
material  is  there  on  it 
and  where  can  I  find 
it?"  and  in  the  twinkling 
of  an  eye,  Professor 
Martin  would  name  a 
string  of  books  bearing 
on  the  subject,  tell  what 
magazine  articles  dealt  with  it,  and  before  you  could 
fairly  list  the  sources  enumerated,  he  would  lay  the 
volumes  before  you.  Indeed,  one  often  suffered  from 
an  embarrassment  of  riches,  so  much  material  would 
he  place  in  one's  hands.  If  ever  a  librarian  knew 
what  was  in  the  books  under  his  control,  and  where 
to  place  his  finger  on  the  very  material  desired,  it 
was  William  Emmet  Martin. 

On  the  foundations  he  thus  erected,  the  present 
Bucknell  Library  has  grown.    And  with  its  growth 
in  literary  content  has  continued  that  selfsame  spirit

Notes  and  Comments 

Announce  Plans  for  Literary  Week-End  February  10-12 
To  Honor  Formal  Naming  of  Vaughan  Literature  Building 


The  unveiling  of  a  tablet  to  the  late  Dr.  Charles 
P.  Vaughan  in  the  Literature  Building  on  Thursday, 
February  10  will  feature  a  ceremony  during  which 
the  building  will  be  formally  renamed  the  Vaughan 
Literature  Building. 

In  honor  of  this  event,  February  10-12  has  been 
designated  a  "Literary  Week-End."  The  program 
will  include  a  special  convocation,  the  Annual  Meet- 
ing of  the  Bucknell  Society  of  Phi  Beta  Kappa,  and 
the  Annual  Dinner  of  the  Friends  of  the  Library  of 
Bucknell. 

A  feature  of  this  "Literary  Week-End"  will  be  an 
exhibition  of  books,  essays,  plays  and  poems  that 
have  been  published  by  Bucknellians.  All  Bucknel- 
lians,  who  have  had  such  material  published,  are 
urged  to  send  their  exhibits  to  the  Alumni  Office 
where  they  will  be  catalogued  and  arranged  for  dis- 
play during  the  "Literary  Week-End."  They  will 
be  returned  to  the  owners  afterward. 

COLLEGE  LIBRARIES  AND 

PHI  BETA  KAPPA 

Dr.  William  A.  Shimer  of  New  York,  the  national 
secretary  of  Phi  Beta  Kappa,  in  an  interview  which 
appeared  in  The  Pittsburgh  Sun-Telegraph  for  Oc- 
tober 17,  1937,  explained  that  the  standing  committee 
on  applications,  in  deciding  upon  the  qualifications 
of  any  college,  is  guided  by  these  criteria :  (a)  the 
standing  of  its  faculty,  (b)  the  quality  of  its  grad- 
uated students,  and  (c)  its  library  facilities. 


It  is  safe  to  assume  that  more  than  one  college 
has  failed  to  secure  a  chapter  of  Phi  Beta  Kappa  be- 
cause of  inadequate  library  facilities.  In  this  con- 
nection, Bucknell  can  point  with  pardonable  pride 
to  its  own  Library,  which  contains  66,000  volumes 
at  present,  while  more  than  three  thousand  items 
are  being  added  each  year  through  a  fixed  budget 
and  the  gifts  of  interested  alumni  and  the  Friends 
of  the  Library.  The  Bibliotheca  Bucnellensis,  which 
is  published  independently,  is  the  official  organ  of 
The  Friends  of  the  Bucknell  University  Library.  Its 
sole  purpose  is  to  promote  the  growth  and  expand 
the  resources  of  the  Library  so  that  it  may  meet  the 
constantly  increasing  demands  which  are  being 
made  upon  it  by  every  department  of  the  Univer- 
sity.   The  results  are  already  most  gratifying. 

MARY  J.  HARRAR  LOAN  COLLECTION 

OF  FIRST  EDITIONS 

The  first  installment  of  a  large  Loan  Collection  of 
First  Editions  and  other  rare  volumes  has  been  re- 
ceived by  the  Library  from  Miss  Mary  J.  Harrar, 
'26.  Miss  Harrar  has  made  an  initial  loan  of  one 
hundred  and  twenty-five  volumes  of  "firsts,"  largely 
of  contemporary  authors.  She  plans  to  add  to  the 
collection  from  time  to  time,  and  the  books  will  be 
held  in  trust  by  the  Bucknell  Library,  where  they 
will  be  treasured  and  exhibited  on  occasion.  They 
will  be  accessible,  however,  at  all  times  to  professors 
and  advanced  or  special  students  who  may  have  oc- 
casion to  consult  them.

Visiting  Engineers  in  Fall  Meeting  Approve  Important  Changes 


THE  Bucknell  Visiting  Engineers  Committee  met 
at  ten  o'clock  Saturday  morning,  November 
thirteenth.  Five  of  the  committee  were  present: 
Mr.  R.  B.  Derr,  '17,  of  the  Aluminum  Research  Lab- 
oratories, New  Kensington,  Pa. ;  Mr.  J.  C.  Hostetter, 
'08,  of  the  Hartford-Empire  Company,  Hartford, 
Conn. ;  Mr.  Calvin  Oberdorf,  '07,  in  Government 
service  in  Washington;  Mr.  J.  O.  Roser,  '11,  of  the 
General  Electric  Company  at  Pittsfield,  Mass. ;  and 
Mr.  F.  O.  Schnure,  '14,  Bethlehem  Steel  Company 
at  Sparrow's  Point,  Md.  President  Marts  extended 
greetings  to  the  visitors. 

Prof.  Richard  L.  Anthony,  who  has  succeeded 
Prof.  F.  E.  Burpee  as  chairman  of  the  Mechanical 
Engineering  Department,  described  the  changes  in 
the  Mechanical  Engineering'  curriculum  recently  ap- 
proved by  the  faculty.  In  general,  certain  specialized 
Senior  courses  were  replaced  by  others  of  broader 
scope,  in  recognition  of  the  fact  that  fundamentals 


must  be  emphasized  in  undergraduate  work.    The 
committee  expressed  their  approval  of  this  change. 

All  the  departments  outlined  changes  in  labora- 
tories and  equipment  as  well  as  plans  for  future  de- 
velopment. Preliminary  plans  for  the  completion  of 
the  Engineering  Building  were  discussed.  In  the 
original  plans  for  this  building  Chemical  Engineer- 
ing was  not  provided  for,  while  the  Physics  Depart- 
ment was  included.  These  plans  have  been  changed 
to  provide  space  for  Chemical  Engineering  in  the 
new  building,  but  not  to  include  the  Physics  Depart- 
ment. This  change  of  plan  requires  a  greater  area  of 
ground  floor  space  for  engineering  laboratory  equip- 
ment which  must  have  a  solid  foundation. 

Professor  Rhodes  described  the  new  plan  for  an 
ever-normal  enrollment  as  recently  formulated  by 
President  Marts.

The  BUCKNELL  ALUMNI  MONTHLY 


The  Student-Faculty  Congress 


-Philip  L.  Harriman,  Professor  of  Psychology 


The  Supervision  of  Student  Activities  at  Bucknell 

Reprinted  from  the  Journal  of  Higher  Education,  November,  1937 

EDITOR'S  NOTE:  This  is  the  first  in  a  series  of  articles  written  by  Bucknell  Faculty  members  to 
acquaint  alumni  with  recent  trends  in  Faculty-Student  relations.  Later  discussions  will  include 
"The  Student  Counseling  Program"  by  Dr.  Robert  L.  Sutherland,  Dean  of  Men,  and  "The 
Student  Church"  by  Prof.  Charles  M.  Bond  of  the  Department  of  Religion.  The  emphasis 
will  be  largely  upon  the  presentation  of  objectives  and  reports  of  progress. 


FOUR  years  ago  Bucknell  University  instituted 
a  Student-Faculty  Congress  to  have  supervision 
over  student  activities.  Consisting  of  eighteen 
students  and  twelve  faculty  members,  this  organi- 
zation has  met  over  thirty  times.  Special  meetings 
and  committees  have  been  assembled  many  more 
times  during  its  course  of  existence.  As  an  experi- 
ment in  a  democratic,  cooperative  control  of  student 
activities,  Bucknell  Student-Faculty  Congress  has 
made  an  interesting  record.  Still  in  the  tentative, 
experimental  stages,  the  plan  avoids,  on  the  one 
hand,  the  laissez  faire  system  hitherto  in  vogue  here 
and,  on  the  other,  a  dictatorial  oversight.  Four 
years  of  experience  with  this  plan  have  revealed 
certain  unfortunate  weaknesses  in  the  setup,  but 
have  also  been  most  encouraging. 

A  faculty  committee  made  a  careful  investigation 
of  all  student  activities,  apart  from  intercollegiate 
athletics  and  social  fraternities,  in  1931.  The  com- 
mittee found  a  complicated  maze  of  activities  func- 
tioning with  varying  degrees  of  efficiency.  A  few 
appeared  no  longer  to  meet  any  real  needs  whatso- 
ever, yet  they  perpetuated  themselves  by  yearly  in- 
itiations. Others  seemed  to  depend  wholly  upon  the 
enthusiasm  of  their  officers  and  at  times  to  emerge 
meteor-like  from  the  darkness  of  obscurity.  Some 
activity  groups,  owing  to  the  absence  of  integration, 
were  overcharged  by  dance  orchestras  or  by  print- 
ers, while  other  groups  were  given  special  prices. 
Although  a  college  officer  audited  the  account  books, 
there  was  no  control  over  expenditures.  Bills  ac- 
cumulating over  the  years  curtailed  the  expenditures 
of  oncoming  generations  of  students.  The  principal 
objections  to  the  former  laissez  faire  plan  were,  first, 
that  student  activities  were  not  co-ordinated ;  and, 
second,  that  these  activities  were  not  so  directed  as 
to  fit  in  with  the  whole  educational  program  of  the 
college. 

The  first  step  was  to  appoint  twelve  faculty  mem- 
bers to  serve  on  the  Congress  and  to  ask  the  stu- 
dents to  elect  eighteen  representatives  from  the 
dominant-interest  groups.  These  persons  made  up 
the  organization.  Both  a  student  and  a  faculty  ad- 
viser represented  each  of  the  following:  dramatics, 
debating,  publications,  intramural  athletics,  honor- 
ary and  professional  societies,  musical  groups,  lit- 
erary clubs,  religious  organizations,  and  citizenship. 
Students  represented  the  Panhellenic  and  the  inter- 
fraternity  councils,  the  nonfraternity  group,  dormi- 
tory men,  women's  student  government,  and  each 


of  the  classes.  The  sponsoring  of  business  manager- 
ship, the  promotion  of  social  activities  for  the  whole 
college,  and  student  government  were  given  to  three 
members  of  the  faculty.  Interest  groups,  rather  than 
a  large  number  of  specific  activities,  made  possible 
a  smaller  governing  body  and  helped  at  once  to  fa- 
cilitate an  integration  of  campus  life.  Under  musical 
groups,  for  example,  are  the  band,  the  glee  clubs, 
and  the  orchestra.  Publications  include  the  college 
newspaper,  a  handbook  for  new  students,  and  other 
similar  productions.  Rules  for  new  students  and 
other  student-imposed  regulations  come  under  citi- 
zenship. 

This  functional  grouping  in  terms  of  compatible 
interests  was  easily  accomplished.  Publicity  given 
to  the  survey  and  wide  solicitation  of  campus  opin- 
ion prepared  students  to  welcome  the  suggestion. 
In  the  survey,  however,  those  students  most  aggres- 
sive in  furnishing  data  were  often  actuated  by  real 
or  fancied  grievances  against  the  status  quo.  A  few 
of  their  recommendations,  eloquently  and  vocifer- 
ously phrased,  were  at  variance  with  consensus  of 
judgment.  Adoption  of  such  suggestions  made  a 
number  of  problems.  Hitherto,  for  instance,  class 
offices  had  been  coveted;  but  under  the  congres- 
sional plan  each  class  was  to  be  represented  by  a 
member  elected  solely  for  place  on  the  group.  In 
the  first  year,  therefore,  only  three  per  cent  of  the 
student  body  voted  in  class  elections  for  positions 
now  regarded  as  meaningless  honors.  At  the  present 
time  the  class  president  is  ex-officio  the  representa- 
tive to  the  Congress.  Another  suggestion  hastily 
adopted  was  to  accord  representation  to  these  inter- 
est groups,  regardless  of  the  number  of  students  in- 
volved in  them.  Debating,  consequently,  with  not 
more  than  thirty  students  included  in  its  activities, 
has  a  representative;  and  the  nonfraternity  group, 
including  almost  half  the  student  body,  likewise  has 
a  single  spokesman  on  the  Congress.  A  revision  of 
the  plan  to  give  fairer  representation  has  not  yet 
been  drawn  up. 

From  the  outset  the  most  useful  work  done  by  the 
Congress  has  been  the  establishment  of  control  over 
the  student  budget.  A  close  check  on  disbursements 
and  accounting  was  immediately  instituted.  Treas- 
urers of  activity  groups  obtain  approval  before  con- 
tracting financial  obligations  and  present  the  bills 
to  the  budget  adviser  for  payment.  No  funds  are 
handled  by  students.  The  Congress,  however,  does

DECEMBER,  1937 


Bucknell,  Temple  Deadlocked  0-0 
Basketball  Opener  Dec.  13 


--Bob  Streeter 


DIGGING  their  cleats  desperately  into  the 
morass  that  was  the  Memorial  Stadium  grid- 
iron, Al  Humphreys'  Bisons  ended  their  season 
on  Homecoming  Day,  November  13,  by  holding  a 
favored  Temple  team  to  a  scoreless  tie,  and  then 
looked  forward  to  a  1938  campaign  which  should 
find  them  prepared  to  make  an  advance  over  this 
year's  fifty-fifty  record. 

Of  the  eleven  regulars  who  fought  back  every 
thrust  made  by  Pop  Warner's  Owls,  only  two,  Co- 
Captains  Herb  Bowman,  Sherrill,  N.  Y.,  right 
halfback,  and  Enio  Conti,  Brooklyn,  N.  Y.,  left 
tackle,  are  expected  to  be  missing  when  the  train- 
ing grind  begins  next  September.  Only  eight  of 
this  year's  squadmen  were  seniors. 

Back  to  the  football  wars  next  autumn  will  storm 
Lou  Tomasetti,  Bill  Lane,  Marty  Quick,  Bill  Jones, 
Frank  Funair,  George  Kiick,  and  Sid  Canarick, 
seven  fine  backs.  Four  seasoned  ends,  four  tackles, 
four  guards,  and  two  centers  will  also  be  available, 
according  to  present  indications. 

The  depressing  note  in  an  otherwise  roseate  pic- 
ture is  the  sparseness  of  promising  material  on  its 
way  up  from  the  present  freshman  team,  which 
closed  its  season  without  winning  a  game.  How- 
ever, the  yearlings  earned  a  0-0  deadlock  with  Tem- 
ple and  will  supply  needed  reinforcements  at  sev- 
eral crucial  spots. 

Winding  up  the  season  with  a  flourish,  the  Thun- 
dering Herd  hit  its  peak  the  Saturday  before  Home- 
coming when  it  punched  out  a  20-7  victory  over 
Furman,  and  continued  the  pace  to  stalemate  a  Tem- 
ple eleven  which  is  still  seeking  its  initial  triumph 
over  Bucknell  since  Pop  Warner  came  to  the  Phil- 
adelphia college. 

The  treacherous  condition  of  the  playing  field, 
drenched  by  a  20-hour  rain  and  churned  into  a  quag- 
mire after  the  first  few  scrimmages,  prevented  both 
elevens  from  venturing  anything  but  the  simplest 
offensive  maneuvers. 

Each  team  had  only  one  golden  opportunity  to 
score  the  touchdown  which  would  have  given  it  the 
lead  in  the  Temple-Bucknell  series,  now  thoroughly 
deadlocked  with  three  wins  for  each  rival  and  five 
ties. 

Two  goal-line  fumbles,  the  first  by  Bucknell's  Lou 
Tomasetti  and  the  second  by  Temple's  Mike  Lukac, 
nullified  each  eleven's  scoring  chance. 

Midway  in  the  third  quarter  Baker,  Owl  quarter- 
back, back  to  punt  on  the  fourth  down,  fumbled  the 
s°ggy  ball  and  was  tackled  by  the  fast-charging 
Bison  forwards,  Bucknell  gaining  possession  one 
foot  from  the  goal  line.  Twice  Martin  Quick 
plunged  into  the  red  wall  of  Temple  linemen  and 
was  hurled  back.  On  third  down  Tomasetti  swept 
off  tackle,  and  as  he  was  tackled  on  the  goal  line, 
the  ball  slipped  from  his  arms  into  the  end  zone, 
where  Nichols  of  the  Owls  recovered  for  a  touch- 
back. 


Temple's  big  opening  came  in  the  fourth  quarter 
when  Renzo's  sensational  29-yard  punt  return 
launched  an  Owl  drive.  On  six  plays  the  Warner- 
men  moved  from  their  own  44-yard  line  to  the  Bison 
15,  where  Pappas'  fumble  was  a  temporary  setback. 

On  the  next  play,  however,  Funair  fumbled,  and 
Temple  regained  possession  on  the  nine-yard  line, 
first  down,  goal  to  go.  On  the  first  play  Lukac  cir- 
cled left  end  toward  the  goal  line,  but  as  he  was  hit 
on  the  two,  the  ball  popped  from  his  arms  clear  out 
of  the  end  zone  for  an  automatic  touchback. 

With  the  exception  of  these  two  "breaks,"  the 
game  was  evenly  contested,  the  Bisons  dominating 
the  action  in  the  second  and  third  quarters  and  the 
Owls  holding  an  edge  in  the  opening  and  closing 
periods.  The  long-distance  punting  of  Bucknell's 
Bill  Lane  and  Temple's  Johnny  Kovacevich,  both  of 
whom  lifted  the  wet  ball  in  kicks  that  averaged  near- 
ly 40  yards  from  the  line  of  scrimmage,  was  a  fea- 
ture of  the  contest. 

Throughout  their  eight  game  season,  during 
which  the  Bisons  won  three  games,  lost  three,  and 
tied  two,  Humphreys'  pupils  were  outclassed  only 
by  the  Villanova  Wildcats,  who  overpowered  Buck- 
nell, 21-0,  and  subsequently  finished  the  campaign 
undefeated. 

The  Bison  soccer  team,  captained  by  Ira  Fox,  of 
Narberth,  finished  on  the  black  side  of  the  ledger 
this  fall,  winning  four  games,  losing  three,  and  tie- 
ing  one.  The  booters  compiled  their  record  by  com- 
ing down  the  homestretch  at  top  speed,  defeating 
Lafayette,  University  of  Delaware,  and  Temple  in 
their  final  three  games. 

With  the  autumn  sports  out  of  the  way,  attention 
on  the  campus  is  now  being  directed  toward  pre- 
liminary drills  for  basketball  and  boxing,  the  two 
big  winter  sports. 

First  to  get  under  way,  the  basketball  season  will 
begin  December  13  at  home  against  Elizabethtown 
College,  with  Cornell  to  be  met  at  Ithaca,  N.  Y.,  the 
following  evening. 

Coach  Mai  Musser  faces  the  task  of  building  his 
quintet  around  a  nucleus  of  five  lettermen,  Harold 
Sager,  of  Smithton,  William  Foltz,  Connellsville, 
Robert  Summers  and  Joseph  Deegan,  both  of  Mil- 
ton, and  William  Lane,  Philadelphia. 

Three  lettermen,  Ray  Monahan,  Jack  Filer,  and 
Stuart  Smith,  have  been  lost  by  graduation  from 
last  year's  team,  which  won  nine  games  and  lost  six. 

Boxing  prospects  are  bright  this  year,  with  all 
but  one  of  last  year's  championship  squad  slated  to 
return.  Captain  Joe  Valentino,  conference  cham- 
pion at  the  165-pound  post,  was  the  only  one  of 
Coach  Joe  Reno's  charges  to  be  lost  by  graduation. 

Among  the  men  who  are  expected  to  make  the 

1938  boxing  squad  the  strongest  in  Bucknell  history 

are :    Bill   Androski,   of   Scranton,   conference   ruler 

at  135  pounds ;  Steve  Stephanou,  Norwich,  Conn.,

BALTIMORE 

October  11.  Fifteen  Baltimore  Alumni  were  present 
at  the  first  Fall  meeting  of  the  club,  which  was  held 
at  the  Rail  Grill. 

A  constitution,  which  had  been  drawn  up  prior  to 
this  meeting,  was  read  by  our  President,  J.  Fred 
Moore,  '22.  After  a  few  changes  were  made,  the 
constitution  was  adopted. 

We  offer  our  thanks  to  all  Sparrow's  Pointers  who 
have  taken  such  an  interest  in  these  meetings. 
November  8.    Once  more  there  were  fifteen  members 
present  at  our  meeting.    This  seems  to  be  the  set 
number  for  all  of  our  meetings  so  far. 

Our  November  meeting  was  a  purely  social  one. 
This  dinner  was  also  held  at  the  Rail  Grill.  We  have 
decided  to  have  all  meetings  here  for  the  sake  of 
convenience  to  everyone.  This  does  not,  however, 
include  one  yearly  meeting  that  is  to  be  held  at  the 
club  house  in  Sparrow's  Point. 

Th  purpose  of  this  meeting  was  the  making  of 
plans  to  return  to  Lewisburg  for  Homecoming. 
Many  of  us  are  planning  to  drive  up  for  the  game. 

ELEANOR  L.  BUCHHOLZ,  '31,  Secretary. 


LEWISBURG 

October  12.  The  four  meetings  of  the  Alumnae 
Club  are  always  enthusiastically  attended  and  en- 
joyed very  much  by  the  older  women  of  the  Sem- 
inary days,  the  "near-new"  alumnae  and  the  recent 
graduates. 

The  first  meeting  of  the  year  was  held  in  Larison 
Living  Room,  October  12th,  featuring  the  annual 
tureen  supper.  Mrs.  Ruth  Eisley  sang  two  numbers, 
"The  Old  Refrain"  and  "Autumn  Leaves." 

The  guest  speaker  was  Mrs.  J.  M.  Barris,  author- 
ess, who  spoke  on  "Joys  and  Trials  of  a  Writer." 

The  Christmas  meeting  to  be  held  December  14th 
will  be  in  charge  of  Mrs.  Ruth  Eisley  with  Mrs. 
Donald  Stillman  as  guest  pianist.  Mrs.  Mildred 
Gommer  Pursley,  '30,  will  give  a  reading. 

With  Mrs.  Lulu  Coe  Stolz,  the  local  alumnae 
club  promises  to  have  very  interesting  and  instruc- 
tive meetings  through  1937-38.

NEW  YORK 

October  19.  Fall  meetings  of  the  New  York  Alumni 
Association  started  with  an  evening  dinner  and 
meeting  at  the  Hotel  Winthrop  on  October  19th. 
This  was  a  stag  affair  and  26  Alumni  turned  out  for 
the  meeting.  Dr.  A.  C.  Marts,  President  of  the  Uni- 
versity, gave  a  very  comprehensive  and  interesting 
report  of  Bucknell  activities  and  the  meeting  was 


then  thrown  into  an  open  forum  at  which  members 
asked  Dr.  Marts  to  elaborate  on  various  phases  of 
Bucknell  life  and  growth. 

New  officers  of  the  Association  were  elected  con- 
sisting of  E.  A.  Snyder,  '11,  President,  William  F. 
Redcay,  '11,  Vice-President  and  Treasurer,  and 
Charles  T.  Farrow,  '26,  Secretary. 

Various  suggestions  wrere  made  for  activities  to 
be  considered  by  the  Association  during  the  coming 
year  and  as  a  result  of  a  very  enthusiastic  discus- 
sion and  suggestions  a  Planning  Committee  was  ap- 
pointed consisting  of  Edward  C.  Kunkle,  '97,  Chair- 
man, and  Julius  Seebach,  '20,  and  Campbell  Rut- 
ledge,  '33,  who  were  instructed  to  consider  all  the 
proposals  suggested  and  present  a  report  of  sug- 
gested activities  for  consideration  at  the  next  month- 
ly meeting.  This  report  was  presented  at  the  reg- 
ular monthly  meeting  held  at  the  Hotel  Wentworth 
on  the  evening  of  November  9ih.  Great  interest  was 
manifested  by  the  24  members  present  and  it  was 
voted  to  mimeograph  the  report  and  transmit  it  to 
the  male  members  of  the  New  York  Alumni  Asso- 
ciation prior  to  the  next  monthly  meeting  which  will 
be  held  on  December  14th  at  the  Hotel  Wentworth, 
59  West  46th  Street,  at  6 :30  P.M. 

The  New  York  Alumni  Association  is  holding  reg- 
ular monthly  stag  meetings  on  the  evening  of  the 
second  Tuesday  of  each  month.  They  are  planning 
to  hold  as  many  of  these  as  possible  at  the  Hotel 
Wentworth.  In  case  it  is  impossible  to  secure  a 
room  for  that  evening,  announcements  will  be  mail- 
ed to  the  Alumni  prior  to  the  meeting  as  to  the  exact 
meeting  place.  While  the  evening  meetings  so  far 
have  been  confined  to  the  men  Alumni,  it  was  sug- 
gested that  we  undertake  to  form  a  women's  Alum- 
nae group  to  hold  independent  monthly  meetings 
and  to  merge  the  women's  and  men's  meetings  for 
a  joint  social  gathering  sometime  in  February.  We 
believe  there  is  a  strong  need  for  a  women's  Alum- 
nae Association  and  an  opportunity  for  them  to  do 
much  constructive  work  for  the  University,  and  it 
was  suggested  that  the  President  advise  the  Alumni 
Secretary  to  take  this  under  consideration  and  at- 
tempt to  interest  some  of  the  New  York  women  in 
this  project.  The  officers  of  the  men's  Alumni  Asso- 
ciation will  be  glad  to  cooperate  with  any  of  the  wo- 
men who  would  undertake  the  formation  of  such  an 
association. 

The  Alumni  Association  discussed  football  affairs 
at  the  last  meeting  and  voted  unanimously  to  send 
a  letter  of  appreciation  to  Coach  Humphreys  and 
the  team  for  their  good  work  under  adverse  circum- 
stances during  the  past  season  and  to  tell  them  that 
the  New  York  Alumni  would  be  strongly  repre- 
sented at  the  Homecoming  game.  This  letter  was 
written  and  I  understand  that  numerous  encourag- 
ing telegrams  from  the  New  York  Alumni  were  sent 
to  Coach  Humphreys  prior  to  the  game. 

EDGAR  A.  SNYDER,  '11,  President.

TRENTON 

October  29.  The  Central  New  Jersey  Bucknell  Club 
held  a  dinner  meeting  in  Trenton  at  the  Cadwallader 
Tea  Room  on  October  29th.  For  the  first  affair  of 
this  type  that  has  been  held  by  this  club,  thirty-four 
members  responded  despite  the  fact  that  the  Col- 
lege Club  of  Trenton  held  an  affair  on  the  same 
evening.  Plans  discussed  at  this  meeting  were  to 
hold  meetings  of  this  type  in  the  future  either 
monthly  or  bi-monthly.  Homecoming  was  discussed 
and  several  members  planned  on  making  the  trip  to 
Lewisburg  on  November  13th.  The  club  was  fa- 
vored with  some  very  interesting  and  humorous  re- 
citals by  Mr.  J.  H.  Shoemaker  of  the  class  of  1908. 

The  ladies  of  the  Central  New  Jersey  Bucknell 
Club  are  planning  an  afternoon  bridge  December 
2nd  at  1 :30  P.  M.  at  the  home  of  Mrs.  H.  W.  Giffin, 
Cadwallader  Apartments,  Trenton,  N.  J. 

"To  members  of  Central  New  Jersey  Bucknell 
Club."  Keep  in  mind  the  dinner  meeting  to  be  held

6626  or  W.  J.  Irvin,  Trenton  3-2028. 

W.  J.  IRVIN,  '22,  President. 


READING 

October  30.  The  notes  of  "Dear  Bucknell,  oft  of 
thee  we're  thinking,"  alumni  and  friends  of  Reading 
sat  down  to  a  delightful  dinner  at  the  Wyomissing 
Club  to  make  merry.  And  that  is  exactly  what  we 
did.  Dr.  Grim,  the  President  was  a  most  attentive 
host,  chasing  away  all  formalities  and  making  every- 
one feel  very  much  at  home.  He  introduced  several 
visitors  from  the  campus,  Mr.  Charles  Morris  and 
Mr.  Walter  Holter. 

With  enthusiasm  born  of  the  defeat  of  the  after- 
noon, accompanied  with  that  never-say-die  spirit 
we     planned     our     campaign     to     put     Bucknell 


across  to  High  School  Seniors.  Entertaining  pros- 
pective college  students  at  our  "get  togethers"  and 
perchance  taking  them  back  to  the  dear  old  campus, 
having  interested  parents  with  us  to  sell  Bucknell 
to  them  and  giving  them  the  treat  of  hearing  Dr. 
Marts  are  just  a  few  of  our  plans  for  the  future 
spring  months. 

At  a  short  business  meeting  following  dinner, 
Morgan  Davies,  '26,  was  elected  President,  and  An- 
geline  Kissinger,  '22,  Secretary  for  the  ensuing  year. 
Just  in  case  someone  might  be  interested  in  know- 
ing who  the  people  in  Reading  are  who  still  thrill 
to  "Come  Bucknell  Warriors,  Hopes  are  on  you"  we 
are  including  our  guest  list : 

Dr.  David  G.  Grim,  '97,  and  Mrs.  Grim,  The  Rev. 
Dr.  Charles  E.  Roth,  Hon.  '28,  Dr.  Merrill  DeWire, 
'21,  and  Mrs.  DeWire,  Dr.  John  Eisenhauer,  '05,  and 
Mrs.  Eisenhauer,  Mrs.  J.  Turner  Moore,  Fred  Mc- 
Cormick  Moore,  '36,  Mr.  A.  Paul  Mosser,  '26,  and 
Mrs.  Mosser,  Mr.  John  Speicher  and  Mrs.  Speicher, 
'07,  Mrs.  Helen  Blakemore,  '08  Miss  Laura  Smith, 
'22,  Miss  Barbara  Houghton,  Miss  Elizabeth  Tur- 
ner, '24,  Miss  Angeline  Kissinger,  '22,  Paul  Weaver, 
'22,  J.  Singleton  Neisser,  Philip  Neisser,  '32,  Richard 
Doty,  Paul  Schmidt,  '25,  Howard  Fisher,  '13,  Karl 
Krug,  '22,  Charles  Morris,  *31,  H.  Walter  Holter,  '24. 
ANGELINE  KISSINGER,  '22,  Secretary. 


PHILADELPHIA  ALUMNAE 

The  Card  Party  and  business  meeting  which  was 
to  have  been  held  in  November  was  postponed  but 
we  are  expecting  to  have  it  on  Tuesday,  December 
7th,  at  Whitman's,  1626  Chestnut  Street.  We  are 
planning  a  business  meeting,  a  pleasant  social  eve- 
ning of  cards  and  other  games  followed  by  supper. 
The  proceeds  from  this  party  are  for  our  Scholar- 
ship Fund. 

The  Annual  luncheon  is  to  be  held  this  year  on 
Saturday,  February  12th.  Dr.  Daniel  Poling  has

ENGINEERS  MEET 

(Continued  from  page  7) 

The  committee  passed  two  resolutions : 
"Resolved,  that  the  Visiting  Engineers  Commit- 
tee is  in  hearty  accord  with  the  policy  of  'an 
ever-normal   enrollment   of    1200   resident   stu- 
dents' as  recently  proposed  by  President  Marts. 
"Resolved,  that  in  the  designs  for  the  comple- 
tion   of    the    Engineering    Building    provision 
should  be  made  for  a  total  enrollment  of  400 
engineering  students." 
The  committee  adjourned  to  the  Women's  College 
dining  room  and  enjoyed  an  excellent  luncheon.

and  his  death  was  quite  a  shock  to 
older  residents  of  the  community  who

Hsun  Chang  (Good  Harvester)  from 
the  Chinese  Republic. 

1907 
Referring  to  recent  experiments  of 
Dr.  J.  B.  Rhine  of  Duke  University, 
Dr.  Charles  F.  Potter  told  the  First 
Humanist  Society:  "Trained  tele- 
pathists  will  supplant  the  present  spy 
system.  Without  leaving  their  own 
country,  a  little  group  of  gifted  'es- 
pers'  will  be  able  to  discover  the  plans 
of  the  enemy's  strategists.  Since  the 
essence  of  success  in  war  is  secrecy, 
when  secrecy  is  destroyed,  war  will 
be  impossible."

structor at  the  Peddie  School. 

Dwite  H.  Schaffner  is  one  of  Buck- 
nell's  most  active  alumni  in  War  Vet- 
eran affairs.  In  June  of  this  year  he

vies  Airplane  Metal  Limb  Company, 
Philadelphia,  has  recently  returned 
from  the  Argentine  Republic  where  he 
opened  a  branch  of  his  company  in 
Buenos  Aires.  While  there  he  was 
interviewed  by  "La  Caceta"  for  an  ar- 
ticle describing  his  accomplishments. 
When  new  and  unusual  establishments 
are  introduced  in  the  Republic  and 
such  lend  themselves  to  the  helpful- 
ness of  the  physically  handicapped 
"La  Caceta"  immediately  sends  its 
staff  reporters  to  investigate.  Who- 
ever is  so  selected  for  a  full  page 
write-up  automatically  makes  the  Re- 
public of  Argentine's  "Who's  Who." 
Mr.  Davies  has  the  distinct  honor  of 
being  one  of  the  very  few  North 
Americans   sharing  this  honor.

Dr.  Lester  P.  Fowle,  University 
physician  and  assistant  professor  of 
Anatomy,  and  Dr.  R.  R.  Legault,  as- 
sistant professor  of  Chemistry,  have 
received  a  grant  of  $3,000  from  the 
John  and  Mary  R.  Markle  Foundation 
of  New  York  City  as  an  aid  toward 
their  research  on  the  problem  of  fun- 
gus diseases.  Fungus  diseases  of 
which  "athlete's  foot"  constitutes  a 
small  part,  have  commanded  the  at- 
tention of  Dr.  Fowle  for  some  time  in 
his  work  as  the  University  physician. 
Many  students  have  approached  him 
for  treatment  of  these  diseases.  He  is 
interested  in  the  possibility  of  induc- 
ing a  natural  immunity  to  the  patha- 
genic  fungi  not  in  the  development  of 
a  so-called  "cure"  for  "athlete's  foot." 
He  initiated  the  present  research  while 
his  colleague,  Dr.  Legault,  has  been 
cooperating  from  the  standpoint  of  the 
chemist.

Dr.  Fowle  accompanied  by  his  wife 
has  gone  to  Florida  where  the  former 
is  recuperating  from  a  severe  attack 
of  pneumonia.  He  had  been  a  patient 
at  the  Geisinger  Hospital,  Danville 
for  a  number  of  weeks.

The  BUCKNELL  ALUMNI  MONTHLY 


The  Student-Faculty  Congress 


(Continued  from  page  8) 

determine  each  year  the  proper  allocation  of  budget 
funds  to  each  of  the  approved  organizations.  Yearly, 
therefore,  every  student-activity  group  must  con- 
vince the  Congress  that  it  meets  a  genuine  campus 
need,  and  that  its  request  for  financial  support  is 
well  justified.  By  this  plan  moribund  groups  are 
starved  out  of  existence.  No  unpaid  bills  can  remain 
to  take  up  appropriations  for  subsequent  years.  Stu- 
dent managers  are  protected  from  the  wiles  of  high- 
pressure  salesmen.  The  budget  officer  is  able  to 
make  printers  and  orchestras  give  a  single,  fair  price 
when  students  desire  their  services.  This  control, 
though  apparently  somewhat  dictatorial,  has  met 
with  student  approval. 

The  policy-forming  activities  of  the  Congress  have 
been  a  disappointment  until  this  year.  Without  any 
clear  definition  of  purpose  or  of  authority,  the  group 
concerned  itself  with  many  trivialities  for  three 
years.  Much  time  was  devoted  to  debates  over  the 
type  of  watch  charm  which  should  be  purchased  to 
adorn  the  vests  of  representatives.  About  seventy  per 
cent  of  the  funds  the  Congress  allocated  to  itself 
went  for  these  ornaments.  This  year,  however,  the 
members  were  persuaded  to  rule  out  such  tangible 
recognition  of  their  services  to  the  college  communi- 
ty. Furthermore,  time  was  spent  in  discussing  leg- 
islation to  make  possible  the  passing  of  legislation, 
in  the  words  of  a  college  newspaper  editor.  Attend- 
ance at  the  meetings  dropped  markedly,  and  it  ap- 
peared that  the  entire  project  would  fail. 

The  reasons  for  the  initial  failure  were  three. 
First,  the  group  should  have  been  given  an  authori- 
tative definition  of  its  powers.  Quite  tardily,  such  a 
statement  has  been  approved  this  year.  Second,  the 
members  had  to  discover  for  themselves  what  poli- 
cies ought  to  be  encouraged  and  how  to  proceed. 
Faculty  leaders  might  have  saved  time  by  proposing 
certain  functions  for  discussion,  modification,  and 
approval.  Experience  has  indicated  that  students 
appreciate  assured  leadership  given  in  a  democratic 
spirit .  Third,  the  Congress  began  each  year  with  a 
wholly  new  set  of  members.  Now  there  is  provision 
for  continuing  a  fourth  of  the  membership  for  two 
years.  Each  new  Congress  hitherto  had  to  begin 
afresh  except  for  references  to  the  minutes  of  pre- 
ceding meetings  or  the  recollections  of  faculty  mem- 
bers. Since  the  plan  largely  succeeds  or  fails  depend- 
ing upon  the  type  of  student  membership,  it  is  pre- 
ferable to  continue  interested  members  for  at  least 
two  years. 

More  than  three  years  were  required  to  show  what 
powers  the  Congress  actually  wanted.    Then  a  fac- 


ulty member  exercised  leadership,  and,  with  a  com- 
mittee of  students,  drew  up  a  list  of  desired  powers. 
These  were  readily  granted  by  the  college  adminis- 
tration. Specifically,  the  Congress  now  has  the  fol- 
lowing authorizations :  to  prepare  the  allocation  of 
budget  funds,  amounting  to  about  twelve  thousand 
dollars,  with  the  cooperation  of  a  faculty  adviser; 
to  promote  a  better  campus  spirit ;  to  develop  a 
wholesome  social  program  for  the  whole  college ; 
to  develop  a  yearly  artist-course  program ;  to  super- 
vise student  elections ;  to  assist  in  bringing  out  a 
weekly  calendar  of  college  activities ;  and  to  sponsor 
a  spring  festival.  The  whole  program  of  student  ac- 
tivities would  now  be  functioning  much  better  if  the 
Congress  had  at  the  beginning  been  given  these 
powers.  A  clearly  formulated  agenda  is  indispens- 
able for  student  government  groups  which  change 
memberships  in  a  short  time.  Experience  has  also 
demonstrated  the  wisdom  of  having  representatives 
elected  in  the  spring  rather  than  at  the  beginning  of 
a  college  year.  This  procedure,  now  followed,  gives 
more  continuity  to  the  governing  body. 

The  defects  of  the  Bucknell  plan  are  four.  In  the 
first  place,  student  representation  is  unequally  dis- 
tributed among  the  various  interest  groups.  Second, 
at  the  outset  the  plan  involved  an  entirely  new  stu- 
dent membership  each  year.  Third,  the  purposes  to 
be  served  by  the  Congress  from  the  beginning  were 
perhaps  understood  by  its  founders,  but  they  were 
too  vaguely  expressed  to  guide  the  members.  Fourth, 
the  efficiency  of  the  organizations  is  dependent  upon 
the  abilities  of  student  representatives.  An  apathetic 
president,  or  a  few  members  with  a  touch  of  reform- 
atory paranoia,  vitiate  the  efficiency  of  the  group 
during  their  year  of  office.  Student  elections  leave 
much  to  chance,  campus  politics,  and  the  meretri- 
cious appeal  of  embryonic  politicians. 

The  advantages  of  the  plan  are  four.  First,  a  stu- 
dent-faculty governing  body  provides  for  the  co- 
ordination of  all  student  activities,  otherwise  a  cha- 
otic maze  of  conflicting  interests.  Second,  the  ad- 
ministration and  faculty  members  may  effect  pur- 
poseful changes  in  the  campus  life  by  working 
through  such  an  organization.  Third,  a  coherent  and 
continuous  plan  for  the  business  management  of 
student  activities  is  made  possible  by  this  setup. 
Fourth,  student  activities  are  brought  into  harmony 
with  the  whole  educational  purpose  of  the  college. 
In  some  measure,  the  classroom  teachings  may  be 
actualized  in  the  informal  campus  life  of  the  student 
body.  At  present  the  Bucknell  plan  of  a  Student- 
Faculty  Congress  is  a  hopeful  attempt  to  strive  for 
achievement  of  these  purposes. 


DR.  WM.  E.  MARTIN 

(Continued   from   page   6) 

of  helpful  service  that  was  so  characteristic  of  the  li- 
brary in  his  day.  No  structure  can  ever  be  better 
than  its  foundations ;  and  no  matter  how  large  or 
how  notable  the  Bucknell  Library  may  become,  it 
will  be  what  it  is  because  of  the  excellent  founda- 
tions that  this  outstanding  librarian  put  under  it. 

Some  one  has  said  that  a  man's  opinion  is  no  bet- 
ter than  his  information,  a  truth  that  should  be  self 
evident.  Similarly,  it  might  as  truthfully  be  said 
that  a  librarian's  ability  is  no  better  than  his  knowl- 
edge of  men.  As  one's  opinions  are  founded  upon 
his  information,  so  is  a  librarian's  helpfulness  based 
upon  his  acquaintance  with  his  fellows.  He  must 
know  their  characters,  their  mental  abilities,  their 
prejudices,  their  various  traits,  if  he  is  to  render 
maximum  assistance  to  the  searcher  after  truth.  He 
must  know  how  to  help  the  inquirer  find  the  truth. 
So  he  is,  per  force,  a  student  of  mankind. 

William  Emmet  Martin  was  primarily  a  student 
of  men  and  books.  He  gained  his  love  for  books  in 
school  and  college,  and  his  love  for  them  became  the 
ruling  passion  of  his  life.  Just  when  he  began  to 
study  men  it  is  difficult  to  say ;  but  immediately  after 
his  graduation  from  Bucknell  in  1871,  he  was  ap- 
pointed an  assistant  in  the  preparatory  department, 
and  in  1873  was  made  principal  of  the  Bucknell  Aca- 
demy. When  the  two  were  merged,  in  1878,  he  con- 
tinued as  principal  of  the  Academy,  continuing  in 
that  post  until  1894,  when  he  was  appointed  pro- 
fessor of  logic  and  anthropology  in  the  College.  In 
1902  he  was  professor  of  sociology.  Certainly,  in 
these  long  years  of  dealing  with  youth  he  could  not 
have  done  otherwise  than  study  men. 

Dr.  Martin  understood  well  that  you  can  lead  a 
horse  to  water  but  you  cannot  make  him  drink.  He 
knew  also  that  you  can  lead  men  to  learning  with- 
out being  able  to  compel  them  to  partake  of  it.  So 
his  method  was  that  of  education  through  person- 
ality. He  sought  to  embody  in  himself  the  ideals  of 
culture  and  knowledge  in  which  he  strove  to  interest 
others.  That  he  was  effective  is  amply  proved  by 
the  host  of  young  men  and  women  who  first 
glimpsed  the  meaning  of  the  word  "culture"  through 
his  eyes  and  found  it  eternally  attractive.

When  Dr.  Martin  died  in  1922,  at  the  age  of  74, 
the  Bucknell  Alumni  Monthly  said  of  him ;  "Dr. 
Martin  is  dead.  How  misleading  the  statement.  All 
those  who  knew  him  realize  its  falsity.  For  if  ever 
a  man  lived  in  the  spirit  which  perished  not,  it  was 
he.  Though  his  earthly  frame  be  vanished,  that 
spirit  shall  dwell  among  us  to  the  end."  Now,  fif- 
teen years  later,  that  spirit  is  still  with  us.  His  work 
will  continue  also.  Like  John  Martin's  bridge,  the 
structure  he  erected  stands  and  will  stand.  It  is 
both  the  realization  of  an  ideal,  and  a  monument  to 
the  man  who  made  it.

"FALL  IN  FOR  BUCK  NELL 


// 


The  Drummer  Boys  of  Bucknell  Beat  the  Long  Roll 


Bucknell  University,  a  coeducational  college  nearly 
a  century  old,  is  situated  on  the  Susquehanna  River 
in  the  beautiful  town  of  Lewisburg,  Pennsylvania, 
sixty  miles  north  of  Harrisburg,  the  state  capital. 

The  pictures  on  the  following  pages  reveal  some- 
thingofthe  spirit,  purpose  and  tradition  of  this  fine  old 
college.     You  too  may  want  to  "Fall  In"  for  Bucknell. 


You  glimpse  the  campus  of  Bucknell  from  the  veranda  of  the  Presi- 
dent's home.  Each  year  some  1,100,000  young  American  men  and 
women  are  in  a  college  career.  Bucknell  can  accommodate  only  1,200  of  them. 
Registration  at  Bucknell  is  restricted  to  about  800  men  and  400  women. 


The  aims  of  Bucknell 
are  high  —  archery  is 
a  symbol  as  well  as 
an  athletic  exercise. 


The  sunlit  shores  of 
the  Susquehanna  are 
seen  from  many  of 
Buckneirs  dormitory 
windows. 


Bucknell  at  Lewisburg,  Pa.  — Some  300  acres  set  apart  for  the  in- 
spiration and  development  of  ambitious  young  men  and  women  —  is  built 
upon  a  hill.  Its  paths  are  ways  to  finer  living.  To  it  come  students  from  sixteen 
states  and  several  foreign  countries.     Twenty-seven    religious    denominations    are

There  is  joy  in  life  at  Bucknell  —  an  informal  sing 
before  a  formal  party. 


Work  in  horticulture  at  Bucknell  has  national  standing.  Important 
new  strains  of  flowering  plants  have  been  developed  in  the  Greenhouse 
here   shown  and  the   experimental   gardens  of  Bucknell  University. 


Libraries  have  been  called  the  heart  of  a  college.      Here  is  the  heart 
of  Bucknell. 


Men  students  at  Bucknell  are  housed 
in  several  dormitories  —  Daniel  C. 
Roberts  Hall,  East  Wing  and  West 
Wing  of  Old  Main,  East  College  and 
West  College.  Below  is  a  portion  of 
East  Wing  and  Roberts  Hall.  Right,

Men's  Lounge  in  Old  Main. 


All  Freshmen  at  Bucknell  are  required  to  live  in  Dormitories  on  the  Campus. 


Old  Main,  once  the  largest  building  on  any  campus  in  America, 
houses  administration  offices,  men's  social-union  and  men's  living  quar- 
ters.    It  recently  has  been  restored  at  a  cost  of  $350,000.

nell's   celebrated   alumni   and   America's  greatest  baseball  player.

Women's  dormitories  are  situated  on  the  lower  campus  grouped  to-

mitories are  Larison  and  Harris  Halls,  Women's  Senior  Honor  House,  and  Buck- 
nell  Cottage. 


Coeds  may  live  in  single  or  double  rooms,  according  to  their  pref- 
erence. Each  of  the  women's  dormitories  has  a  chaperon  or  hostess  who 
looks  after  the  interests  of  the  girls  in  her  building.

The  Baptist  Church  at  Lewisburg  is  the  church-home  of  Bucknell 
University.  Its  lofty  spire  was  shingled  by  an  early  Bucknell  President

has  in  store  for  them  with  a  treasure  house  of  memories  that  neither  time 
nor  tide  can  take  away  from  them. 


BUCKNELL  UNIVERSITY  exists  for  young  men  and  women 
with  those  qualities  of  mind  and  personality  and  character 
and  ambition  and  self-reliance  that  lead  them  to  want  to 
grow,  and  to  achieve,  and  to  serve  mankind. 

To  them  Bucknell  offers  a  broad  Liberal  Arts  course,  and 
also  curricula  leading  to  the  degree  of  Bachelor  of  Science  in 
special  fields;  Biology,  Commerce  and  Finance,  Education, 
Chemical  Engineering,  Civil  Engineering,  Electrical  Engineering, 
and  Mechanical  Engineering.  In  all  its  academic  work,  Bucknell 
strives  to  achieve  the  dual  aims  of  specialized  training  and 
rich  cultural  education,  in  order  that  the  students'  professional 
and  vocational  careers  may  be  based  upon  deep  and  broad 
foundations. 

Bucknell  has  a  faculty  of  ninety-two  competent  teachers  pre- 
pared to  give  training  in  a  wide  variety  of  fields.  Many  are 
eminent  scholars;  all  are  men  and  women  of  high  intelligence 
and  character  who  maintain  a  personal,  human  interest  in  the 
students  they  teach. 

Bucknell's  standing  is  high.  It  is  approved  by  the  Associa- 
tion of  American  Universities  and  other  accrediting  agencies. 
Each  year  many  Bucknell  men  and  women  make  fine  records 
in  the  nation's  most  exacting  graduate  schools. 

Outside  the  classroom  are  diversified  activities  which  serve 
to  develop  personality.  In  addition  to  extracurricular  opportuni- 
ties in  athletics,  dramatics,  journalism,  debating,  and  other  in- 
terests, Bucknell  offers  a  broad  social  and  recreational  program 
directed  by  skilled  counsellors. 

Expenses  at  Bucknell  are  moderate.  Dormitory  rooms  are 
available  at  prices  scaled  to  suit  all  budgets,  while  tuition 
charges  are  also  reasonable. 

In  a  stimulating  and  unusual  environment,  where  river, 
mountain,  meadow  and  forest  meet,  Bucknell  challenges  you  to 
"fall  in"  for  the  long  march  toward  personal  fulfillment.

Mrs.  Vaughan  and  the  Memorial  Plaque

The  Vaughan  Literature  Building 
Dedicated  During  Literary  Week  End 


IN  a  beautifully  impressive  cere- 
mony held  on  Saturday  after- 
noon of  Literary  Week  End  in 
the  auditorium  of  the  new  liter- 
ature building,  that  structure  was 
formally  named  in  honor  of  Dr. 
Charles  P.  Vaughan,  late  chair- 
man of  the  Board  of  Trustees,  and 
solemnly  dedicated  to  its  purpose 
of  aiding  in  the  education  of 
American  youth.  Mrs.  Vaughan 
and  two  of  her  daughters,  Mrs. 
Harry  H.  Hellerman,  Jr.,  and 
Mrs.  William  D.  Watson,  Jr.  were 
present,  together  with  many  other 
distinguished  alumni  and  friends 
of  Bucknell. 

Dr.  Arnaud  C.  Marts,  now  act- 
ing president  of  Bucknell,  served 
as  chairman  of  the  meeting  and 
also  delivered  the  dedicatory  ad- 
dress. 

Mr.  Marts'  Speech 

"If  I  were  to  attempt  to  char- 
acterize Dr.  Vaughan  in  a  very  few 
words",  he  began,  "I  would  say: 
He  was  a  generous  man,  a  modest 
man,  and  a  man  of  great  power. 
Of  his  great  generosity  I  shall  not 
speak  in  detail,  for  his  very  mod- 
esty forbade  that.  Of  his  modesty, 
I  may  speak. 

"When  he  was  first  invited  to 
become  a  member  of  the  Board  of 
Trustees  of  Bucknell,  he  hesitated 
because  he  did  not  think  himself 
qualified  for  the  task. 

"We  who  had  the  privilege  of 
serving  with  him,  know  now  that 
it  was  this  very  modesty  which 
qualified  him  to  become  one  of  the 
three  or  four  greatest  trustees  of 
Bucknell's  long  line  of  splendid 
trusteeships. 

'Thy  modesty',  said  Field- 
ing,   'is    a    candle    to    thy    merit'. 

"And  Kipling  put  a  similar 
thought  in  these  words:  'Humble 
because  of  knowledge,  mighty  by 
sacrifice'. 

"We  who  sit  on  boards  are 
often  quite  loquacious.  Some  of 
us  on  the  Bucknell  Board  probably 
speak  too  frequently  and  at  over- 
length.  Dr.  Vaughan  spoke  very 
seldom  in  the  Board  meetings,  and 
when  he  did  speak  it  was  in  a  low 
voice  and  very  briefly.  But  every 
word,  quiet  though  it  was,  was 
heard,  and  heeded. 

'Men  of  few  words  are  the 
best  ones',  said  Shakespeare  in  King 
Henry  V,  and  again  in  King  Rich- 


ard, he  said:    'Truth  hath  a  quiet 
breast'. 

"So, I  do  not  say  'Dr.  Vaughan 
was  a  generous  man,  a  modest 
man,  but  a  man  of  great  power'. 
I  say  rather,  'Dr.  Vaughan  was  a 
generous  man,  a  modest  man,  and 
a  man  of  great  power'. 

"It  is  appropriate,  therefore, 
that  our  living  monument  to  him, 
our  beloved  leader  and  colleague, 
should  be  the  literature  building: 
that  his  name  should  be  linked 
immortally  at  the  college  he  loved 
and  served  so  nobly,  with  an  as- 
pect of  education  and  of  life  which 
preserves  inherently  the  very  quali- 
ties which  were  the  essence  of  his 
being. 

"Literature  —  the  quiet  flow 
of  man's  best  thoughts  and  in- 
sights from  generation  to  genera- 
tion; Literature  ■ —  the  deep  reser- 
voir of  mankind's  wisdom  accu- 
mulated and  treasured  from  the 
beginning  of  man's  cultural  life; 
Literature  — ■  the  cool,  silent  spring 
of  living  waters,  by  which  all  men 
live  who  truly  live. 

'They  had  no  poet',  said  Pope 
of  an  earlier  people,  'They  had  no 
poet,  and  they  died'. 
The  Vaughan  Literature  Building 
"It  is  supremely  appropriate 
that  Dr.  Vaughan's  name  should 
forevermore.  be  associated  here 
with  literature,  the  quiet  art. 

"It  is  equally  appropriate  that 
literature  should,  forevermore,  be 
associated  on  our  campus  with  Dr. 
Vaughan's  name.  Kindred  in 
depth,  in  modesty,  and  in  power. 
"And  now  it  becomes  my  plea- 
sure and  my  duty,  in  behalf  of  the 
Board  of  Trustees  of  Bucknell 
University  at  Lewisburg,  Pennsyl- 
vania, to  declare  that  hereafter  this 
beautiful  building  shall  be  known 
by  us  all  as  THE  VAUGHAN 
LITERATURE  BUILDING. 

"To  Mrs.  Vaughan,  and  to  the 
daughters  of  Dr.  and  Mrs.  Vau- 
ghan, Mrs.  Hellerman  and  Mrs. 
Watson,  all  three  of  whom  we  are 
proud  to  have  present  today,  and 
to  Mrs.  Ira  Vaughan  who  is  pre- 
vented by  illness  from  attending, 
I  extend  the  affection  and  gratitude 
and  deep  appreciation  of  Bucknell, 
and  of  all  who  love  this  college,  for 
the  share  each  of  these  ladies  has 
had  in  the  notable  service  which 
Dr.    Vaughan    rendered    Bucknell. 


"In  the  corridor  just  at  the  en- 
trance to  this  Auditorium  has  been 
placed  a  bronze  tablet  which  me- 
morializes Dr.  Vaughan  and  com- 
memorates the  naming  of  this 
building. 

"This  tablet  reads  as  follows: 
'One  hundred  years  from  now, 
the  main  campus  of  Bucknell  will 
be  out  here  at  what  is  now  the  far 
edge  of  the  campus.  This  build- 
ing, built  for  the  centuries,  the 
first  of  the  many  "buildings  to 
be"  will  be  here  ■ —  insofar  as  hu- 
man foresight  can  see  —  and  this 
tablet  of  imperishable  bronze  will 
still  be  in  its  place  preserving  the 
likeness  of  this  our  beloved  friend 
and  this  brief  intimation  of  his 
life  and  of  our  service'. 

"Let  us  also  preserve  this  mem- 
ory in  that  which  is  more  im- 
perishable than  bronze  ■ —  in  the 
living  tradition  of  a  great  college. 
Let  us  pass  down  from  generation 
to  generation  some  vital  sense  of 
the  warm  admiration  and  grati- 
tude which  we  feel  for  this  gentle- 
man who  means  so  much  to  Buck- 
nell of  today  and  of  tomorrow. 
Let  us  thus  keep  alive  —  as  bronze 
alone  cannot  do  —  the  memory 
of  Dr.  Charles  Parker  Vaughan, 
a  generous  man,  a  modest  man, 
and  a  man  of  great  power". 

During  the  ceremony,  a  picture 
of  the  bronze  memorial,  highly 
magnified,  was  thrown  upon  a 
screen  at  the  front  of  the  auditori- 
um, and  President  Marts  requested 
the  audience  to  participate  in  the 
dedication  by  reading  in  unison 
the  words  on  this  memorial  tablet. 

President  Emeritus  Emory  W. 
Hunt,  during  whose  administra- 
tion Dr.  Vaughan  became  a  mem- 
ber of  the  Board  of  Trustees,  told 
of  the  latter's  great  generosity  to 
the  college.  In  the  interim  be- 
tween the  resignation  of  Dr.  Hunt 
and  the  election  of  his  successor, 
Dr.  Homer  P.  Rainey,  Dr.  Vau- 
ghan served  as  acting  president. 
Thus  he  was  known  to  both  men 
intimately.  Dr.  Rainey,  in  whose 
administration  the  Vaughan  Lit- 
erature Building  was  erected,  spoke 
of  Dr.  Vaughan's  idealism  and 
far-seeing  vision.  The  Bucknell 
Girls'  Chorus,  led  by  Miss  Grace 
Jenkins,  sang  two  selections: 
"Wings",  and  "Invocation  to 
Life". 


Tht  BUCKNELL  ALUMNI  MONTHLY 


Bucknell's  Literary  Week  End 
Starts  a  New  Custom 


WITH  the  initiation  of  a 
Literary  Week  End.  Buck- 
nell  has  evidently  "started 
something."  Dr.  William  A. 
Shimer,  executive  secretary  of  Phi 
Beta  Kappa,  who  was  here  as  one 
of  the  week  end  speakers,  said  as 
much.  Commenting  upon  the  af- 
fair, in  one  of  his  talks,  he  re- 
marked: 'We  have  had  all  sorts 
of  week  ends  —  Homecomings, 
Spring  Festivals,  reunions,  and  so 
on,  and  now  comes  the  Literary 
Week  End.  It  appears  as  though 
Bucknell  has  really  hit  upon  some- 
thing new.  It  is  delightful  to  at- 
tend such  an  affair.  Such  a  gath- 
ering is  so  unusual.  Let  us  hope 
there  will  be  more  of  them." 

Dr.  Shimer's  wish  is  unquestion- 
ably echoed  by  hundreds  of  visi- 
tors and  students,  for  the  week- 
end program  brought  to  the  cam- 
pus several  choice  personalities, 
whom  it  was  truly  a  delight  to 
meet,  and  to  whom  well  pleased 
audiences  listened  with  keen  in- 
terest. 

If  variety  is  the  spice  it  is  said 
to  be,  then  Bucknell's  Literary 
Week  End  was  indeed  a  spicy  af- 
fair. It  began  on  Thursday  morn- 
ing, when,  at  the  usual  chapel 
hour.  Dr.  Huston  Peterson  of 
Columbia  University  and  Rutgers 
College,  talked  to  the  assembled 
student  body.  Dr.  Peterson  is 
also  director  of  the  People's  In- 
stitute of  New  York  City.  Antici- 
pating a  large  audience,  the  col- 
lege had  secured  the  use  of  the 
Methodist  church  auditorium,  and 
it  was  filled  to  capacity.  Dr. 
Peterson's  talk  on  "Good  Books 
and  Tired  Brains."  which  was  well 
spiced  with  wit  and  humor,  fairly 
delighting  the  audience.  President 
Marts  presided,  introducing  the 
speaker,  and  Professor  C.  Willard 
Smith  pronounced  the  invocation. 
The  academic  gowns  gave  just  the 
literary  touch  needed  to  complete 
the  occasion.  Professor  William 
McRae  and  the  Bucknell  chapel 
choir  added  greatly  to  the  meeting 
with  their  music. 

Dr.  George  Lyman  Kittredge, 
Gurney  Professor  of  English  Lit- 
erature Emeritus  of  Harvard  Uni- 
versity, outstanding  Shakespearean 


scholar,  talked  to  a  large  audience 
on  Thursday  evening  in  the  Lew- 
isburg  High  School  auditorium, 
discoursing  about  "The  Villains 
of  Shakespeare."  Professor  Wil- 
liam H.  Coleman,  of  the  Depart- 
ment of  English,  presided  and  in- 
troduced Dr.  Kittredge.  A  Buck- 
nell trio,  consisting  of  Instructor 
Charles  F.  Stickney,  violin,  Charles 
Henderson,  harpsichord,  and  Lois 
Brungart,  cello,  delighted  the  audi- 
ence with  their  rendition  of  ap- 
propriate old  English  melodies. 

Friday  afternoon  brought  to 
the  campus  Dr.  Frederick  A.  Pot- 
tle, Professor  of  English  Litera- 
ture at  Yale  University,  who  de- 
scribed to  an  interested  audience 
in  the  auditorium  of  the  Vaughan 
Literature  Building  the  finding  of 
a  recently-discovered  collection  of 
Boswell  papers  in  an  old  Boswell 
castle  in  Ireland,  and  acquainted 
his  hearers  with  the  contents  of 
those  papers.  Dr.  Pottle  is  known 
as  the  editor  of  Boswell's  "Journal 
of  a  Tour  to  the  Hebrides  with 
Samuel  Johnson,  LL.D."  and 
other  works  of  Boswell's.  Pro- 
fessor Harry  W.  Robbins.  of  the 
Department  of  English,  presided 
and  introduced  the  speaker.  Miss 
Lois  Chapin  sang  several  solos. 
She  was  accompanied  by  Miss 
Martha  Sears. 

Friday  evening  brought  a  most 
delightful    meeting   in   the   Lewis- 


burg  Baptist  church,  when  Dr. 
Shimer  discoursed  about  "Litera- 
ture and  Personality."  and  Miss 
Elsie  Singmaster,  famous  writer  of 
tales  of  the  Pennsylvania  Germans, 
read  her  own  story  "Thanksgiving 
is  not  Christmas,"  in  a  delight- 
ful manner,  which  fairly  capti- 
vated the  audience.  Preceding  her 
reading,  Miss  Singmaster  spoke 
briefly  about  the  Pennsylvania 
Germans,  pointing  out  the  remark- 
able part  they  had  played  in  the 
development  of  Pennsylvania  and 
other  States,  and  describing  de- 
lightfully some  of  the  racial  pe- 
culiarities of  speech  and  manner 
that  they  have  retained  to  this  day. 

Professor  Robert  L.  Sutherland 
presided  and  introduced  both 
speakers.  Mrs.  Ruth  Parker  played 
a  piano  solo,  and  Miss  Hazel 
Gravell  sang  two  selections. 

Saturday  noon  brought  a  de- 
lightful luncheon  of  the  Friends 
of  the  Bucknell  Library,  with  Mr. 
Norman  A.  Henry,  '05,  president 
of  the  group,  presiding.  Professor 
Eliza  J.  Martin,  Bucknell  libra- 
rian, reported  concerning  the  li- 
brary — its  present  equipment,  its 
needs,  and  plans  that  had  been 
made  for  it.  She  also  told  of  the 
books  that  had  been  contributed 
to  the  library  during  the  past  year 
by  members  of  the  group. 

Saturday  afternoon  saw  another 
meeting  in  the  Vaughan  Literature 


The  Friends  of  the  Library  Hold  a  Luncheon 


MARCH,  1938 


Building,  with  Mr.  Henry  also 
presiding,  and  the  speaker  being 
Mrs.  Mary  Agnes  Hamilton,  of 
England,  who  spoke  delightfully 
on   "Today's  Novelists." 

The  dedication  of  the  Yaughan 
Literature  Building,  the  crowning 
event  of  the  week-end,  has  been 
described  elsewhere.  It  occurred  at 
three  o'clock  on  Saturday  after- 
noon, following  Mrs.  Hamilton's 
talk,  and  brought  together  a  not- 
able group.  Immediately  after  the 
ceremony,  tea  was  served  in  the 
lounge  of  the  building,  in  honor  of 
Mrs.  Vaughan  and  her  daughters. 
Mrs.  Hellerman  and  Mrs.  Watson. 
Members  of  the  Department  of 
English  faculty  acted  as  hosts. 
Many  of  the  visitors  attended  the 
tea.  and  were  well  pleased  with 
the  arrangement  of  this  portion  of 
the  building,  as  professors'  offices, 
seminar  rooms,  the  library,  and 
other  portions  of  the  building 
were  thrown  open  for  inspection. 

Saturday  evening  saw  a  showing 
of  motion  pictures  in  the  Litera- 
ture auditorium,  which  has  recent- 
ly been  equipped  with  picture  pro- 
jection machines.  Leslie  Howard 
and  Norma  Shearer  were  shown  in 
two  presentations  of  the  screen 
version  of  "Romeo  and  Juliet." 

Student  church,  with  a  service 
in  the  Lutheran  church  auditori- 
um, on  Sunday  evening,  ended  the 
formal  program  for  the  week  end. 
The  speaker  was  Dr.  D.  Montfort 
Melchior.  who  has  taught  for 
many  years  in  the  Bucknell  sum- 
mer session,  and  who  gave  one  of 
his  characteristically  delightful 
talks  on  the  Bible.  Thus  ended 
Bucknell's  first  Literary  Week 
End. 

While  all  this  was  in  progress, 
however,  interested  visitors  and 
students  had  been  examining  the 
fascinating  literary  exhibits  as- 
sembled in  The  Yaughan  Litera- 
ture Building,  in  Roberts  Hall  in 
Old  Main,  and  in  the  Carnegie 
Library.  The  Roberts  Hall  ex- 
hibit consisted  of  150  photographs 
lent  by  the  Neiv  York.  Times,  that 
illustrated  the  history  of  the  print- 
ed word.  There  were  also  assem- 
bled here  the  1346  books  given  to 
the  library  during  the  past  year 
by  the  Friends  of  the  Library.  In 
the  Vaughan  Literature  Building 
were  shown  some  of  the  newer 
books  that  have  just  come  off  the 
press. 

The  crowning  exhibit,  however, 

for  Bucknellians.   was  that  in  the 

Carnegie  Library,  where  Professor 

Eliza  Martin  had  gathered  together

A  MESSAGE  FROM  THE  PRESIDENT 

Dear  Bucknellians: 

The  1938  Commencement  will  be  held  on  Saturday.  Sun- 
day, and  Monday.  June  11,  12,  and  13th.  I  hope  a  great  many 
of  you  will  find  it  possible  to  return  to  "the  college  on  the  hill" 
for  these  stimulating  exercises. 

This  year's  Commencement  season  will  be  especially  inter- 
esting because  the  formal  session  on  Monday  morning,  at  which 
the  addresses  will  be  delivered  and  the  degrees  awarded,  will  be 
held  in  the  new  Men's  Gymnasium,  now  in  process  of  construc- 
tion. Following  the  graduation  exercises,  the  Gymnasium  will 
be  dedicated  to  its  life-time  service  to  Bucknell  youth,  and  it  will 
be  given  its  name.    Come  and  take  part  in  this  gala  occasion. 

The  work  on  this  building  is  progressing  steadily.  A  few 
weeks  ago  when  we  came  to  a  crucial  decision  as  to  certain  very 
vital  questions  of  design,  equipment,  and  finish,  the  largest  con- 
tributor to  the  building  fund  sent  us  word  that  each  of  the 
questions  should  be  decided  in  favor  of  the  best  way  to  build  a 
gymnasium  regardless  of  cost.  With  his  message  he  sent  enough 
additional  funds  to  pay  the  increased  costs  which  follow  such 
decisions.  "I  want  the  Bucknell  Gymnasium  to  be  the  best  any- 
where," he  said,  and  that  is  what  it  is  to  be. 

Meanwhile  we  are  making  plans  to  renovate  Tustin  Gymna- 
sium for  the  use  of  our  women  students,  and  next  fall  the  physical 
education  facilities  for  our  women  will  be  as  much  improved  over 
their  present  facilities  as  will  be  the  men's  improved  over  their 
present  facilities. 

Following  the  completion  of  this  work,  we  hope  to  take  up 
the  erection  of  the  final  wing  of  the  Engineering  Building,  the 
present  wing  of  which  was  erected  in  1922.  The  Engineering 
Faculty  and  the  architect  are  hard  at  work  on  the  designs  for  this 
construction  and  generous  initial  gifts  have  already  been  received. 

In  spite  of  physical  changes  which  come  to  Bucknell  as  they 
must  come  to  all  growing  organisms,  the  spirit  of  your  Alma 
Mater  remains  unchanged,  —  the  spirit  of  high  endeavor  of  am- 
bitious youth,  of  unselfish  devotion  to  God  and  humanity.  Let 
us  keep  that  Bucknell  banner  afloat  wherever  a  Bucknellian  may  be. 

With   kindest   regards.

The  BUCKNELL  ALUMNI  MONTHLY 


Mrs.  Theiss  Finds  Interesting  Items 
Concerning  Bucknell  Writers 


WHEN  Shakespeare  said, 
"There  are  more  things  in 
Heaven  and  earth,  Horatio, 
than  are  dreamt  of  in  your  phil- 
osophy," he  was  right.  We  do 
not  have  to  go  far  to  find  some 
of  those  interesting  things.  In  fact, 
Dr.  Mary  Bartol  Theiss  turned 
up  a  lot  of  them  in  her  investiga- 
tion into  the  identity  of  Bucknell's 
writers,  of  whom  she  discovered 
more  than  300,  with  more  than 
1,200  volumes  to  their  credit. 

It  is  interesting  to  note  that 
from  the  very  beginning,  Bucknell 
has  had  writers  of  some  standing. 
Her  very  first  professor  of  litera- 
ture, Lucius  E.  Smith,  was  repre- 
sented in  Godey's  Lady's  Book 
with  the  poem  "To  a  Transplant- 
ed Tree."  That  poem  is  printed 
elsewhere  in  this  issue.  Godey's 
Lady's  Book  was  as  preeminent  a 
periodical  in  its  day  as  the  Satur- 
day Evening  Post  or  The  Atlantic 
Monthly  or  The  Ladies  Home 
Journal  is  today. 

Everett  T.  Tomlinson,  whom 
Bucknell  honored  in  1906  with  an 
LL.D..  was  the  author  of  more 
than  100  books  for  boys.  These 
were  stories  of  the  finest  type. 
They  were  practically  all  of  a  his- 
torical nature,  and  dealt  with  the 
Wars  of  the  Revolution,  of  1812, 
the  Civil  War,  and  the  struggles 
with  the  Indians.  Most  of  them 
were  set  in  his  own  native  South 
Jersey  country.  It  is  amazing  to 
find  that  every  one  of  these  books 
went  into  several  editions,  and  by 
1929  more  than  2,000,000  copies 
of  these  stories  had  been  issued.  In 
1911  Dr.  Tomlinson  became  exe- 
cutive director  of  the  Baptist  Board 
of  Ministers'  and  Missionaries' 
Benefits.  It  had  no  funds.  When 
he  resigned  in  1926,  the  organiza- 
tion had  an  endowment  of  $1,- 
800,000.  Evidently  Dr.  Tomlin- 
son was  as  unusual  as  an  executive 
as  he  was  as  an  author. 

Dr.  George  W.  Anderson, 
Bucknell's  second  professor,  was 
the  father  of  Miss  Ellen  Anderson, 
who  became  the  wife  of  General 
Tasker  Howard  Bliss,  ex-'73, 
chief  of  staff  of  the  U.  S.  Army 
during  the  World  War.  Their 
daughter  Eleanor,  a  Bryn  Mawr 
Ph.D.    in    geology,    married    Dr. 


Adolph  Knopf,  professor  of  geol- 
ogy at  Yale  University. 

James  Buchanan,  Pennsylva- 
nia's only  President,  was  a  mem- 
ber of  the  Board  of  Curators  of 
Bucknell  in  1851,  and  attended 
the  first  commencement  exercises 
on  the  top  floor  of  the  present 
Taylor  Hall.  The  minutes  of  the 
Board  of  Curators  show  that  he 
made  the  motion,  at  the  curators' 
meeting,  which  authorized  the  con- 
ferring of  bachelor's  degrees  upon 
our  first  graduating  class  — seven 
young  men. 

Dr.  Thomas  Fenner  Curtis,  pro- 
fessor of  theology,  1860-'63,  was 
expelled  from  the  Lewisburg  Bap- 
tist Church  because  he  wrote  a 
book  on  "The  human  element  in 
the  inspiration  of  the  Scriptures."

Frank  Earl  Herring,  '97,  author 
of  "At  the  Edge  of  Day,"  a  vol- 
ume of  verses,  and  other  writings, 
was  named  by  the  Montana  legis- 
lature and  credited  in  the  U.  S. 
Congress  as  the  first  nation-wide 
sponsor  of  "Mother's  Day." 

John  Price  Crozer,  for  19  years 
a  trustee  of  Bucknell,  was  born  in 
Delaware  County,  Pa.,  in  the 
house  in  which  Benjamin  West, 
America's  first  great  painter,  was 
born. 

Dr.  Ernest  M.  Gress.  '07,  who 
has  long  been  Pennsylvania  State 
botanist,  has  written  many  mono- 
graphs on  grasses  and  other  plants 
that  are  of  very  great  value. 

Dr.  George  G  Groff,  for  many 
years  professor  of  science  at  Buck- 
nell and  author  of  many  mono- 
graphs and  books,  was  called  by 
President  David  Jayne  Hill  "the 
father  of  coeducation  at  Bucknell." 
Dr.  Groff  fought  long  and  vali- 
antly to  have  women  admitted  to 
the  college  classes  before  that  end 
was  accomplished.  Dr.  Groff  was 
given  leave  of  absence  during  the 
Spanish-American  War,  when  he 
served  as  a  surgeon,  with  the  rank 
of  major,  in  the  U.  S.  army.  Sent 
to  Puerto  Rico,  he  cleaned  up  that 
island,  instituting  a  modern  sys- 
tem of  sanitation,  and  became  the 
actual  father  of  the  first  modern 
system  of  education  in  that  coun- 
try, although  the  position  of  first 


Commissioner  of  Education  later 
went  to  another  man. 

In  an  article  titled  "Authors 
Every  Boy  Should  Know,"  Good 
Housekeeping  prints  a  list  of  58 
writers  for  boys.  This  list  covers 
the  leading  English  and  American 
writers  for  boys,  of  all  time.  One 
of  the  authors  listed  is  Dr.  Lewis 
E.  Theiss.  '02,  professor  of  jour- 
nalism, who  is  the  author  of  near- 
ly thirty  books  for  boys,  and  hun- 
dreds of  magazine  articles. 

Dr.  Amos  S.  Hershey,  ex-'91, 
famous  as  a  teacher  and  writer  of 
history,  was  one  of  President 
Woodrow  Wilson's  advisers  at  the 
making  of  the  Treaty  of  Versailles. 
Another  of  his  advisers  was  Gen- 
eral Tasker  Howard  Bliss,  ex-'73. 

President  Justin  Rolph  Loomis, 
notable  as  an  early  world  traveler, 
was  the  author  of  the  first  text- 
books used  at  Bucknell  that  were 
written  by  a  Bucknell  man.  His 
two  volumes  on  anatomy,  physi- 
ology and  hygiene,  and  on  geol- 
ogy were  the  books.  They  were 
standard  texts  at  the  time  and 
were  widely  used.  It  was  Dr. 
Loomis  who  gave  several  thou- 
sand dollars  for  the  purpose  of 
cutting  back  the  shoulder  of  the 
hill  where  the  power  house  now 
stands  and  using  the  earth  and  rock 
to  fill  in  the  playing  field  later 
named  for  him.  It  was  he,  also, 
who  bought  the  ground  on  which 
stands  the  president's  house,  and 
who  built  the  original  structure 
there.  The  University  later  bought 
the  property  back,  and  the  house 
has  repeatedly  been  enlarged.  The 
property  was  transferred  to  the 
University  with  the  restriction  that 
no  vinous  or  spirituous  liquor 
should  ever  be  sold  on  the  plot. 

Dr.  Homer  P.  Rainey,  former 
president  of  Bucknell,  and  his  di- 
rector of  publicity.  Arthur  L. 
Brandon,  '27,  who  was  formerly 
publicity  director  for  Bucknell,  are 
the  co-authors  of  "How  Fare 
American  Youth?"  It  is  the  ini- 
tial report  to  the  American  Coun- 
cil on  Education  of  the  American 
Youth  Commission,  with  which 
both  are  now  connected. 

One  of  the  world's  most  famous 
hymn  writers  was  Dr.  Robert 
Lowry,  '54,  who  was  a  Bucknell 


MARCH,  1938 


professor  from  1869  to  1875.  His 
hymns  swept  the  country  and  his 
fame  spread  throughout  the  world. 
Upon  the  occasion  of  a  visit  to 
England,  he  was  received  with  tre- 
mendous ovations.  Song  books  he 
issued  were  sold  by  the  hundreds 
of  thousands.  Some  of  his  compo- 
sitions are:  "I  Need  Thee  Every 
Hour,"  "Shall  We  Gather  at  the 
River?"  "Where  is  My  Wandering 
Boy  Tonight?"  "Savior,  Thy  Dy- 
ing Love,"  etc.  Many  of  these 
hymns  were  written  in  the  house 
he  then  occupied  at  the  foot  of  the 
campus,  in  which  Dr.  William  C. 
Bartol  has  lived  for  the  past  half 
century  and   more. 

Another  famous  Bucknell  writ- 
er was  Dr.  Howard  Malcom, 
Bucknell's  first  president.  Sensing 
the  need  of  a  Bible  dictionary,  he 
wrote  one.  It  was  the  very  first 
such  text.  It  met  a  crying  need, 
and  the  book  sold  many  thousands 
of  copies.  Although  Dr.  Malcom 
received  a  royalty  of  only  four 
cents  a  copy,  he  was  able,  out  of 
the  proceeds,  to  build  the  lovely  old 
home  that  stood  where  now  the 
Kappa  Sigma  house  stands.  This 
home  was  of  course  the  first  pres- 
idential residence.  It  was  later  oc- 
cupied by  a  Bucknell  professor, 
and  still  later  by  a  Bucknell  fra- 
ternity. Dr.  Malcom  was  the 
author  of  1 3  books. 

Dr.  Lemuel  Moss,  for  three 
years  a  Bucknell  professor,  became 
the  secretary  of  the  Christian  Com- 
mission during  the  Civil  War. 
This  organization  was  the  fore- 
runner of  the  American  Red  Cross, 
and  served  soldiers  in  that  bloody 
struggle  as  its  successor  would  now 
do.  Dr.  Moss  wrote  a  very  notable 
report  on  the  work  of  that  com- 
mission. After  leaving  Bucknell, 
Dr.  Moss  served  as  president  of 
both  the  University  of  Indiana, 
and  the  old  University  of  Chicago. 

John  Gundy  Owens,  '87,  was  a 
pioneer  in  American  archeology. 
As  a  Harvard  graduate  fellow  he 
was  a  leading  member  of  an  early 
expedition  to  Yucatan,  to  study 
rhe  remains  of  the  old  Mayans.  He 
was  taken  ill  with  tropic  fever  and 
died  in  Copan.  He  was  a  younger 
hrother  of  Professor  William 
Gundy  Owens,  '80,  who  retired 
from  the  faculty  two  years  ago. 

George  Alexander  Peltz,  '57, 
D.D.  '79,  once  a  curator  of  Buck- 
nell, was  one  of  the  organizers  of 
the  original  Chautauqua  move- 
ment. He  was  the  first  editor  of 
The  Baptist  Teacher,  and  later  be- 


came assistant  editor  of  The  Sun- 
day School  Times. 

Major  William  Gray  Murdock, 
ex-'05,  was  in  charge  of  the  draft 
for  the  Commonwealth  of  Penn- 
sylvania,  during  the  World  War. 

Dr.  William  Robert  Williams, 
author  of  "Conservative  Principles 
in  our  Literature,"  and  other 
books,  and  lecturer  on  Baptist 
history,  was  a  charter  curator  of 
Bucknell  and  also  of  Madison, 
now  Colgate  University. 

In  1934  the  Harvard  University 
press  published  as  No.  42  of  Har- 
vard Economic  Studies,  Paul  Wal- 
lace Gates'  "Illinois  Central  Rail- 
road and  Its  Colonization  Work," 
an  interesting  study  of  Middle 
West  pioneering,  of  interest  to 
Union  County  as  many  hundreds 
of  early  settlers  in  Buffalo  Valley 
went  west  to  Freeport  and  Ste- 
phenson County,  Illinois. 

Frank  Alfred  Golder,  '98,  was 
perhaps  the  most  interesting  among 
all  our  alumni.  Born  near  Odessa, 
in  southern  Russia,  Golder  was 
brought  by  his  parents  to  America 
in  1880,  when  he  was  three  years 
of  age.  After  his  graduation  from 
Bucknell  he  taught  for  three  years 
in  Alaska,  on  a  lonely  island  set- 
tlement and  in  island  schools.  Re- 
turning, he  took  his  Ph.D.  in 
1907.  His  attention  and  interest 
now  centered  in  Alaska  and  in 
Russia.  He  became  interested  in 
the  study  of  Russian  expansion  on 
the  Pacific.  In  1914  the  Carnegie 
Institution  selected  him  to  investi- 
gate sources  for  the  study  of  Amer- 
ican history  in  Russian  archives. 
This  resulted  in  his  Guide  to  ma- 
terials for  the  study  of  American 
history  in  Russian  archives,  in 
1917.  He  was  so  fortunate  as  to 
secure  in  Russia  an  important  col- 
lection of  unpublished  letters  of 
John  Paul  Jones  concerning  the 
Russo-Turkish  war  1787-92, 
which  were  published  in  1927  by 
Doubleday.  He  published  Bering's 
Voyages,  in  two  volumes,   1922. 

He  was  a  member  of  Colonel 
House's  Inquiry  Commission  as  a 
specialist    in    Russian    affairs.       In 

1920  he  collected  in  eastern  Europe 
material  for  the  new  Hoover  War 
Library  at  Stanford  University.  In 

1921  he  became  a  member  of  the 
faculty  in  history  at  Stanford,  but 
continued  in  Europe  as  a  member 
of  Hoover's  Relief  Administration. 

During  the  Russian  revolution, 

he  rendered    invaluable    assistance 

to   hundreds   of   Russian   scholars, 

who  owe  him  their  life.     On  the

STUDENTS  ASK  MARTS  TO 
ACCEPT  PRESIDENCY 

Probably  unique  in  the  history 
of  American  colleges  was  the  pe- 
tition presented  by  the  student 
body  at  Bucknell  to  Acting  Presi- 
dent Marts  just  prior  to  the  Christ- 
mas vacation,  asking  him  to  con- 
sent to  become  the  permanent  head 
of  the  institution.  The  usual 
Thursday  chapel  was  in  session, 
in  the  Baptist  church  auditorium, 
when  Ambrose  Saricks,  a  senior 
student  from  Wilkes-Barre,  varied 
the  customary  procedure  in  chapel 
service,  by  walking  to  the  front  of 
the  auditorium  and,  in  a  few 
simple  and  appropriate  words,  pre- 
senting to  the  astonished  Acting 
President,  who  was  presiding,  a 
huge  petition  that  had  been  signed 
by  practically  every  one  of  the 
1200  students  at  Bucknell. 

This  petition  read  as  follows: 
"We,  the  undersigned  students  of 
Bucknell  University,  appreciating 
the  valuable  and  disinterested  ser- 
vice you  have  given  to  our  Univer- 
sity since  you  became  temporary 
president  in  October,  1935,  do 
most  earnestly,  but  respectfully, 
express  the  hope  that  you  will 
now  consent  to  accept  the  title  of 
President  of  Bucknell  University. 
We  believe  that  under  your  leader- 
ship the  progress  that  our  Univer- 
sity has  made  during  the  last  two 
years  will  continue  indefinitely. 
Therefore,  acting  as  we  believe  in 
the  best  interests  of  our  Alma 
Mater,  we  ask  you  to  accept  this 
petition  as  an  expression  of  our 
confidence  in  you  and  as  a  pledge 
to  you  of  our  loyal  support  in 
years  to  come." 

The  Bucknelhan  issued  imme- 
diately a  number  that  carried  a 
special  story  reciting  the  achieve- 
ments of  Dr.  Marts,  and  editorially 
repeating  the  request  embodied  in 
the  petition. 

The  Board  of  Trustees  has  also 
strongly  urged  Mr.  Marts  to  ac- 
cept the  presidency,  but  he  has 
given  no  indication  as  to  his  de- 
cision. He  has,  however,  consented 
to  remain  in  charge  for  another 
two-year  period.  The  faculty  has 
also  decisively  indicated  its  earnest 
wish  that  he  consent.  The  Alumni 
Monthly  takes  this  occasion  to 
add  its  voice,  most  emphatically, 
to  the  chorus  demanding  that  Ar- 
naud  C.  Marts  become  president  of 
Bucknell  University  in  fact  as  well 
as  in  name. 


The  BUCKNELL  ALUMNI  MONTHLY 


BUCKNELL'S   POETS 

SO  far  as  we  can  learn,  by  careful  investigation,  the  first  poem  written  by  a  Bucknellian,  which  gained 
recognition,  was  one  called  "To  a  Transplanted  Tree,"  by  Professor  Lucius  E.  Smith,  Bucknell's 
first  professor  of  literature,  1865-'68.  This  poem  was  published  in  Godey's  Lady's  Book,  that  very 
famous  early  American  periodical.     It  is  reproduced  in  the  pages  of  this  issue  of  the  Alumni  Monthly. 

Another  early  Bucknell  writer,  famous  as  America's  foremost  writer  on  international  law,  was  Dr. 
David  Jayne  Hill,  '74,  one  time  president  of  Bucknell,  who  achieved  such  an  outstanding  career  in  the 
realm  of  diplomacy.     As  early  as  the  days  when  he  was  a  student  he  produced  some  very  good  poems. 

Dr.  James  Mitchell  Stewart,  '76,  has  some  volumes  of  excellent  verse  to  his  credit.  Professor  Her- 
man H.  Home,  of  New  York  University  in  his  preface  to  one  of  these  volumes,  says  of  Dr.  Stewart: 
"The  author  is  by  vocation  a  physician,  by  avocation  a  poetic  artist."  His  volume  entitled  "Moods 
and  Musings,'  contains  many  very  touching  and  well-wrought  poems. 

Among  writers  of  a  later  day,  Mrs.  Branche  Bane  Kuder,  '04,  Mrs.  Ruth  Hammitt  Kauffman,  '06, 
and  Mrs.  Dorothy  Markham  Brown,  '23,  all  have  won  recognition  for  their  verses.  Elsewhere 
in  this  issue,  we  print  a  verse  of  Mrs.  Kauffman's  that  appeared  in  the  Circle  Magazine,  and  one  of 
Mrs.   Brown's  that  was  recently   featured  in  Good   Housekeeping. 

The  late  Miss  Alif  Stephens,  '04,  wrote  many  excellent  verses  for  children,  which  were  set  to 
music  by  her  sister,  Mrs.  Ruth  Stephens  Porter,  '05,   and  very  attractively  published  for  little  folks. 

Frank  A.  Mitchell,  ex-'03,  who  became  a  successful  Chicago  manufacturer,  produced  much  excellent 
verse  after  his  college  days.  Some  of  his  poems  were  collected  and  published  under  the  title  "War  Rhymes 
and  Peace  Poems.""  This  volume  went  through  two  editions,  which  is  unusual  for  books  of  poetry. 
His  verses  had  something  of  the  homely  philosophy   of  James  Whitcomb  Riley,  and  a  little  sparkle  all 

their  own.  . 

There  is  also  a  poem  from  Dr.  Wilfrid  H.  Crook,    associate   professor   of   sociology    at    our   Junior 

College  in  Wilkes-Barre. 

It  seems  highly  appropriate  that  in  this  particular  issue  of  the  Alumni  Monthly  some  of  the  work 
of  our  Bucknell  poets  should  be  presented.  We  are  able  to  publish  the  poems  printed  in  this  issue 
through  the  kind  permission  of  the  magazines  and  writers  owning  the  copyrights.  We  thank  both  the 
periodicals  and  the  authors  for  these  permissions. 

TO  A  TRANSPLANTED  TREE 
By  Lucius  E.   Smith 

Then  stretched  thy  branches  wide  and  high. 


Far  from  thy  native  mountain  side 

The  hands  of  man  have  planted  thee, 
Where,  rooting  deep  and  branching  wide, 

Full  many  an  hour  thou'st  sheltered  me. 
With   cautious  care  and  patient   toil 

They  drew  thee  from  thy  native  ground ; 
Now  nurtured  by  a  kindlier  soil. 

New  beauty  circles  thee  around. 

How  fiercely  every  fibre  clung 

To  the  dear  spot  that  gave  thee  birth — 
As  if,  though  tender  and  though  young, 

A  parcel  of  the  solid  earth! 
Yielding  at  length,  as  one  by  one 

Thy  ties  by  violence  were  parted, 
How  hung  thy  foliage  in  the  sun, 

Like  the  forlorn  and  broken-hearted! 

And  when  within  this  garden's  bound, 

A  happier  home,  a  brighter  scene 
For  thy  wild  mountain  stem  was  found, 

Why,  'mid  its  flowers  and  alleys  green, 
Why  didst  thou  droop,  so  sadly  pale? 

Wast  pining  for  the  purer  breeze 
That  waked  the  pine-grove's  evening  wail, 

And  danced  upon  the  waving  trees? 

Yet  short  thy  sadness; — Summer  showers, 

Her  morning  sun  and  evening  dew, 
Gave  fragrance  to  unnumbered  flowers, 

And  on  thy  tender  branches  threw 
A  glorious  and  unwonted  smile, 

Unknown  to  the  dark  forest  scene- 
Rewarding  thy  transplanter's  toil 

With  strength  renewed  and  freshened  green 


Then  deeper  delved  thy  roots  beneath. 
Till  strong,  the  whirlwinds  to  defy, 

And  dally  with  the  thunder's  breath: 
While  all  thy  fellows  one  by  one, 

The  hill-mates  of  thine  infancy, 
By  storm  or  woodman's  axe  o'erthrown. 

Like  withered  grass  have  shrunk  away. 

Often,  beneath  a  sultry  noon, 

Under  thy  thick,  green  canopy, 
The  memory  of  days  by-gone 

Is  mingled  with  my  thought  of  thee: 
I,  too,  am  a  transplanted  tree! 

Time,  Time  and  Death  have  come  to  sever 
From  the  low  roof  of  infancy, 

And  to  lead  me  from  its  door  forever! 

Lights  that  around  the  fireside  glowed, 

To  other  hearths  have  wandered  far — 
Or,  sinking  into  darkness,  strewed 

Their  ashes  on  the  hillside  there: 
And  there  the  green  and  velvet  sod 

Carpets  the  mound  above  their  dust, — 
But  changeless  as  the  truth  of  God 

Endures  the  memory  of  the  just! 

And  therefore  do  I  love  to  sit. 

All  the  bright  hours  of  sunny  days, 
In  calmness  at  thy  shaded   feet,  - 

While  every  breeze  that  round  thee  plays 
Murmurs  a  song  of  grateful  hope, 

And  trusts  in  Providential  love, 
That  watched  thee,  lest  one  leaf  should  droop 

When  taken  from  thy  native  grove.

THE  TEST  OF  AFFECTION 
by  David  Jayne  Hill 

(written  when  he  was  a  Bucknell  sophomore) 

'The  test  of  affection's  a  tear,"  wrote  he 
Who  sealed  up  the  fount  of  his  own ; 

But  what  is  the  crystal  drop  to  me, 
When  the  weeper's  heart  is  stone? 

When,  weary  with  watching,  the  worn  out  soul 

Is  buried  in  shadows  and  gloom, 
Soft  tears  have  no  magic  to  roll 
The  stone  away  from  the  tomb. 

'Tis  a  sterner  and  holier  test  of  love 

That  a  broken  spirit  will  crave; 
'Tis  a  grander  thing  to  look  above 

To  a  face  that's  bright  and  brave. 

Then  give  me  not  tears  when  my  heart  is  weak, 
For  of  these  I  shall  have  no  need; 

But  grant  me  the  boon  my  soul  shall  seek — 
The  test  of  affection's  a  deed! 


THE  WIFE 

by  Ruth  Hammitt  Kauffman 

Each  night  at  six,  lest  he  be  late, 
Here  at  the  door  I  wait  and  wait. 

Our  little  home,  to  us  a  shrine 

Where  every  breath  is  his  and  mine, 

Is  silent  and  intent  with  me 

To  hear  the  clicking  of  his  key, 

Which  opens,  in  the  twilight  dim, 

All  of  my  heart  and  soul  to  him. 

The  cloth  is  spread,  the  dinner  steams; 

I  wait  the  comrade  of  my  dreams. 

I  wait  to  catch  and  kiss  his  hands 

As  in  the  door  my  husband  stands: 

And  touch  and  stroke  his  tangled  hair, 

Smoothe  out  his  forehead's  frown  of  care, 

Caress  his  listless  lips  to  life 

And  whisper  he  is  with  his  wife. 

Tonight  will  all  —  I  —  love  be  late? 
Here  at  the  door  I  wait,  I  wait. 


WHEN  DAY  IS  DONE 

by  Frank  A.  Mitchell 

I  guess  it's  sort  of  natural  when  a  man  is  past  his  prime, 

And  edging  toward  the  borderland,  to  take  more  stock  of  Time. 

Its  market  value  kind  of  creeps  up  point  by  point  each  year, 

For  human  nature  prizes  most  the  things  that  disappear. 

And  when  we  have  a  plenty,  we  loll  in  our  easy  chair, 

And  take  for  granted  blessings  will  come  looking  for  us  there. 

A  lesson  we  all  have  to  learn — it  took  me  sixty  year — 
Is  that  the  things  we've  done  ourselves,  that  cost  us  pretty  dear 
In  time  and  hard,  soul-grindin'  work,  enrich  us  more  by  far 
Than  things  that  come  too  easy  like,  no  matter  what  they  are. 
Why,  every  sod  on  this  old  farm  is  irrigated  through 
With  the  sweat  of  years  of  labor,  and  plenty  of  it,  too. 

I  prize  it  as  I  prize  the  years  that  fence  it  all  around, 
Enclosing  memories  that  grow  on  every  foot  of  ground. 
The  apples  in  the  orchard,  they're  the  finest  anywhere, 
But  every  tree  means  more  to  me  because  I  put  it  there. 
And  Time — the  years  are  precious,  and  I  value  every  one, 
Not  as  a  gift,  but  a  reward,  by  hard-earned  labor  won. 


A  GROWING-UP   SON 
by  Dorothy  Markham  Brown,  '23 

Printed   by  permission  of  Good  Housekeeping 
*    *    *    * 

It  seems  such  a  little  while 

Since  he  was  playing  at  my  knee, 
And  when  I  spoke  to  him,  my  eyes 

Would  downward  turn  his  face  to  see. 
And  now,  in  just  a  few  short  years, 

(Oh  God,  how  short  the  years  can  be) 
My  eyes  must  upward  turn,  for  then 

He  will  be  looking  down  on  me. 

Dear  God,  if  in  the  years  gone  by 

I  have  been  in  some  measure  fit 
To  merit  childhood's  upturned  gaze, 

And  only  quail  a  little  bit, 
Please  help  me  in  the  coming  years 

A  nobler  woman  yet  to  be — 
That  when  his  eyes  must  downward  turn, 

His  soul  will  still  look  up  to  me. 


SCHOLAR  OR  SERVITOR?  —  A  CHALLENGE 
by   Wilfrid  J.   Crook 

He  came  to  me  in  quiet  perplexity 
Reluctant  to  expose  his  soul's  distress; 
Told  his  life's  aim,  of  real  nobility, 

Which  sudden  fate  now  forced  him  to  suppress. 

A  gentle  soul,  with  love  of  learning's  lore, 
Despising  oft  the  world's  unseemly  waste 

In  liquor  and  in  things  of  little  store; 

Now  bound  himself  to  serve  the  vulgar  taste 

He  sees  his  goal  fast  slipping  from  his  reach 

As  hopes  of  legal  calling  fade  away. 
Familial  duty  makes  increasing  breach 

In  college  plans,  which  yield  to  need  of  pay. 

To  tranquil  souls,  with  ample  wealth  endowed, 
This  tale  should  come  as  challenge  and  as  shame. 

They,  having  much,  to  share  it  should  be  proud, 
To  give  such  earnest  youths  a  chance  for  fame!

notable  assemblage  of  persons  who 
had  come  to  his  institution  to  in- 
itiate the  Federal-State  building 
project  there,  which  will  provide

More  than  300  members  of  Mr. 
Cranford's  congregation  gave  a  re- 
ception for  him  and  Miss  Young 
before  the  wedding.

William  R.   White,   '26 

William  R.  White,  '26,  State 
superintendent  of  banking  for  New 
York,  was  the  recipient  recently  of 
the  distinguished  service  award  key 
and  scroll  given  annually  by  the 
New  York  Young  Men's  Board 
of  Trade  to  a  young  man,  not 
more  than  35  years  old,  "who  has 
made  the  greatest  contribution  to 
the  community." 

Leaders  in  the  banking  field 
paid  tribute  to  Mr.  White  at  a 
luncheon  in  the  Bankers  Club, 
where  Joseph  A.  Broderick,  presi- 
dent of  the  East  River  Savings 
Bank,  conferred  the  award  for 
1937. 

Others  receiving  the  award  in 
recent  years  were  Lou  Gehrig, 
1936;  Thomas  E.  Dewey,  1935; 
and  Joseph  D.  McGoldrick,  1934. 

Henry  Bruere,  president  of  the 
Bowery  Savings  Bank,  attributed 
to  Mr.  White  "the  art  of  refrain- 
ing from  too  meticulous  interfer- 
ence." Mr.  White  not  only  under- 
stood "intricate  economy",  Mr. 
Bruere  said,  but  had  "a  distin- 
guished career"  in  performing  a 
public   service.

tablished by  Walter  Ruch,  ex-'34, 
after  he  left  the  editorship  of  The 
Bucknellian,  a  few  years  ago.  He 
was  succeeded  by  Hugh  Morrow, 
ex-'37,  who  now  is  replaced  by 
Mr.  King.  Both  Ruch  and  Mor- 
row are  now  members  of  the  edi- 
torial staff  of  the  Philadelphia  In-

FACULTY   NOTES

The  Saturday  Evening  Post  for 
March  1 2  prints  the  fascinating 
story  of  the  new  Burpee  Crown  of 
Gold  marigold.  The  article  is  writ- 
ten by  Frank  J.  Taylor,  as  told  to 
him  by  Mr.  David  Burpee,  presi- 
dent of  the  Burpee  Seed  Company. 
It  mentions  both  Professor  Wil- 
liam H.  Eyster,  '14,  and  Thomas 
Little,  '31,  who  played  a  part  in 
developing  this  now  famous  flow- 
er. 

Mr.  Burpee  is  the  donor  of  the 
Burpee  fellowship  in  genetics.  This 
fellowship  was  held  by  Mr.  Little. 
In  the  Bucknell  experimental  gar- 
dens Dr.  Eyster  and  Mr.  Little 
worked  out  principles  in  genetics 
that  Mr.  Burpee  applied  in  his  big 
seed  farms  in  the  production 
of  several  of  his  recent  spec- 
tacular creations  in  the  plant 
world.  After  leaving  Buck- 
nell, Mr.  Little  took  up  work  at 
the  California  plant  breeding  farm 
of  the  Burpees,  where  he  is  the 
chief  hybridizer. 


Dr.  Robert  L.  Sutherland,  pro- 
fessor  of  Sociology,    was   recently 
appointed  as  executive  secretary  of 
a  Research  Board  of  the  American 
Youth  Commission  to  conduct  an 
inquiry  into  the  effect  of  their  ra- 
cial status  upon  Negro  youths  in 
the    development    of    personality. 
The    appointment    was    made    by 
Dr.  Homer  P.  Rainey,  director  of 
the    Commission.       The    General 
Education     Board     has     allocated 
$110,000    to    finance    this   study. 
Professor  Sutherland  will  work 
under  an  advisory  committee  head- 
ed   by    Dr.    Will    W.    Alexander, 
farm  security  administrator  and  a 
member  of  the  Youth  Commission. 
During  the  past  two  years  this 
commission  has  investigated  many 
problems  of  modern  youth.    These 
investigations,    which    have    dealt 
with  young  folks  of  all  races,  have 
produced  much  material  as  to  many 
aspects  of  Negro  life,  but  have  as- 
sembled  no   information   concern- 
ing   the    inner    feelings    of    Negro 
boys   and    girls   in    regard   to   race 
matters.      It   is   considered  impor- 
tant to   ascertain   how  persons   of 
this  race  feel  in  racial  matters,  so 
that  any  desirable  educational  ad- 
justments for  them  may  be  recom- 
mended to  school  authorities. 


Prof.  W.  H.  Eyster.  '14 

After  seventeen  years  of  distin- 
guished service  at  Bucknell,  Mrs. 
Clara  Globe  Sale  has  just  retired 
from  her  position  as  dietitian  of 
the  Women's  College.  She  left 
Lewisburg  about  the  end  of  the 
year,  to  make  a  home  for  her  son, 
Dr.  George  Sale,  '31,  who  is  phy- 
sician in  the  Student  Health  Ser- 
vice at  the  University  of  Montana, 
at  Missoula. 

Mrs.  Sale  is  a  grand  niece  of 
the  man  who  invented  the  Japanese 
jinrikisha.  He  was  the  Rev.  Jona- 
than Goble,  an  early  American 
missionary  in  the  island  kingdom. 
The  only  conveyances  then  in  use 
were  clumsy  wheelbarrows,  which 
jolted  the  rider  terribly.  When 
Mr.  Goble's  wife  became  ill,  he 
drew  a  design  for  a  two-wheeled 
conveyance  with  shafts  that  could 
be  pulled  by  hand.  A  native  car- 
penter made  the  thing  for  him, 
and  the  jinrikisha  had  been  born. 
It  soon  became  immensely  popular 
all  over  the  Orient,  and  is  the  usual 
native  vehicle  seen  today  in  both 
Japan  and  China. 

Mrs.  Sale  herself  is  the  widow 
of  a  Baptist  minister.  After  his 
death  she  took  up  work  in  dietet- 
ics, and  served  as  dietician  in  sev- 
eral colleges  before  coming  to 
Bucknell.  Her  keen  mind,  un- 
usual ability,  and  delightful  per- 
sonality have  endeared  Mrs.  Sale 
to  a  great  number  of  Bucknellians. 
Her  daughter  Elizabeth,  as  well 
as  her  son,  is  a  Bucknell  graduate. 
She  was  a  member  of  the  Class  of 
1929. 


The  Bucknell  Who's  Who  in 
Education  is  available  to  alumni 
at  the  nominal  cost  of  25  cents. 
It  contains  biographies  of  more 
than  500  Bucknellians  now  in  the 
field  of  education  or  who  have 
served  in  this  field.  Since  its  pub- 
lication, a  number  of  letters  have 
arrived  telling  of  persons  whose 
biographies  are  missing.  These 
notes  are  much  valued,  since  it  is 
hoped  that  a  supplementary  edi- 
tion can  be  published  soon,  con- 
taining the  biography  of  every 
alumnus  who  will  take  the  time 
to  send  for  a  biography  blank. 
Mail  your  request  to  Frank  G. 
Davis,  '11,  Lewisburg.  Pa. 


"Fall  in  For  Bucknell"  is  the 
title  of  the  latest  publicity  bulletin 
issued  by  the  college.  It  is  a  40- 
page  booklet,  approximately  seven 
by  ten  inches  in  size.  In  keeping 
with  the  spirit  of  the  times,  this 
is  almost  entirely  a  pictorial  pre- 
sentation of  the  University.  In- 
troduced by  a  picture  of  drummer 
boys  from  the  Bucknell  band, 
(who  summon  readers  to  "fall  in 
line,"  for  Alma  Mater),  the  bro- 
chure pictures  forth  the  life  of  the 
campus. 

There  are  very  beautiful  photo- 
graphs of  some  of  the  memory- 
hallowed  campus  paths,  of  the  re- 
stored Old  Main,  the  Vaughan 
Literature  Building,  and  Bucknell 
Hall.  Characteristic  indoor  scenes 
—  dinner  time  in  the  women's 
dining  hall,  a  zoology  class  at 
work,  a  fraternity  house  dance,  and 
so  on  —  are  presented  with  amaz- 
ingly clear  detail  and  sharp  defi- 
nition. In  short,  practically  every 
phase  of  life  at  Bucknell  is  here 
faithfully  portrayed  by  photo- 
graphs. 

President  Marts  has  received 
many  congratulations  on  the  ex- 
cellence of  this  newest  attempt  to 
tell  the  world  about  Bucknell. 


Dr.  Walter  H.  Sauvain,  assist- 
ant professor  of  education,  has 
been  made  chairman  of  the  edi- 
torial committee  of  the  Bucknell 
Journal  of  Education.  He  has 
also  been  appointed  director  of  the 
Curriculum  Library  of  the  De- 
partment of  Education,  the  first 
to  be  established  in  the  State.

The  group  gave  suggestions  for 
the  year's  program.  It  was  agreed 
to  hold  at  least  one  formal  meet- 
ing —  perhaps  a  combined  din- 
ner and  dance. 

January  19  —  Twenty-one  Wash- 
ington Bucknellians  gathered  for 
their  second  meeting  of  the  school 
year  at  the  club  house  of  the

dinner,  Lee  Francis  Lybarger,  Jr.. 
'28,  the  new  Bucknell  Director  of 
Administration  entertained  the 
group  with  campus  motion  pic- 
tures and  a  talk  on  the  advantages 
Bucknell  offers  to  students.  He 
offered  to  repeat  the  talk  during 
the  week  of  February  21,  for  pros- 
pective Bucknellians  whom  the 
local  alumni  might  assemble. 

It  was  announced  that  Robert 
Housel,  '36,  has  moved  to  Har- 
risburg.  Kenneth  Miller,  '35,  was

place  on  the  program  committee. 
February  6-7  —  In  response  to 
many  requests  made  during  the 
past  two  years  by  the  Washing- 
ton Alumni,  the  Bucknell  Glee 
Club  has  finally  sung  here.  The 
club  gave  two  delightful  concerts, 
on  the  sixth  at  Central  High 
School,  and  on  the  seventh  at  the 
Calvary  Baptist  Church.  The  club 
presented  an  excellent  program, 
which  was  greatly  enjoyed  by  a 
large  gathering. 


February  3  —  Twenty-five  alum- 
ni and  friends  of  Bucknell  met  at 
Jackson's  Restaurant  to  open  a 
new  year  with  the  club's  new  presi- 
dent, Allen  Jones.  Future  meet- 
ings will  be  held  at  the  same  place 
the  first  Thursday  of  each  month, 
and  Mr.  Jones  asked  the  attend- 
ance captains  to  call  the  persons 
on  their  lists  prior  to  each  meeting. 
The  following  committee  chair- 
men were  appointed  by  the  presi- 
dent: Program,  Boyd  Sheddan;

ance, the  Rev.  Havard  Griffith; 
Constitution  and  By-Laws,  Joseph 
Nissley,  Esq. 

A  welcome  guest  at  the  dinner 
was  Francis  Lybarger,  Jr.,  Buck- 
nell Director  of  Admissions.  He 
said  that  the  purpose  of  the  plan 
he  is  directing  is  to  make  the  stu- 
dent body  at  Bucknell  more  se- 
lective, with  a  maximum  enroll- 
ment of  1200  students.  The  fresh- 
man class  next  fall  he  believes  will 
number  400,  and  consist  of  325 
men  and  75  women. 

Dr.  Harvey  Smith,  of  the  Board 
of  Trustees,  explained  football 
scholarships  from  a  trustee's  point 
of  view,  assuring  us  that  Bucknell 
will  always  have  a  reputable  foot- 
ball team,  even  if  it  is  not  of  cham- 
pionship calibre.  Dr.  Smith 
praised  President  Arnaud  C.  Marts 
highly,  and  asked  for  him  the 
whole-hearted  cooperation  of  all 
alumni. 

Tentative  plans  were  made  for 
a  club  dance  in  the  near  future. 
A  committee  composed  of  Edward 
Glover,  chairman,  Robert  Payne, 
and  Bruce  Butt  will  make  dance 
plans  to  be  presented  at  the  March 
meeting.

NEW  ENGLAND 

February  1 6  —  The  Bucknell  A- 
lumni  Association  of  New  En- 
gland held  its  annual  meeting  at 
the  Boston  Chamber  of  Commerce, 


MARCH,  1938 


11 


on  Wednesday  evening,  February 
16.  Fifty-two  were  present.  Sec- 
retary "Bill"  Willman,  '22,  of 
the  New  England  Association,  by 
statistical  argument  proved  that, 
with  all  of  its  enthusiasm,  the 
New  York  Association,  propor- 
tionately, must  take  second  place 
to  the  "Hubbers". 

From  Bucknell  came  Prof.  M. 
L.  Drum,  '02,  and  Lee  Francis 
Lybarger,  Jr.,  '28.  Discussing  the 
spirit  of  Bucknell,  as  main  speaker 
of  the  occasion,  Mr.  Lybarger 
showed  movies  of  Bucknell  which 
proved  particularly  attractive  to 
alumni  of  the  far  northeast  who 
have  not  been  back  to  college  in 
some  years.  On  at  least  one  pros- 
pective Bucknellian,  Mr.  Lybarger 
made  a  distinct  impression.  Other 
speakers  included  Chaplain  Reuben 
W.  Shrum,  '08,  who  with  his 
California  wife,  drove  up  from 
Newport,  and  Charles  N.  Bru- 
baker,  '11,  manufacturing  engi- 
neer of  the  General  Electric  Com- 
pany at  Pittsfield,  Mass. 

There  were  three  of  the  Owens 
family  present:  Albert  Waffle 
Owens,  09,  and  his  wife;  Mrs. 
Herbert  L.  Hayden  (Katherine 
Owens,  '23),  and  her  husband; 
Mrs.  Thomas  Fogarty  (Jeannette 
Owens,  '17),  and  Mr.  Fogarty. 
Three  Bucknellians  now  in  Har- 
vard Medical  School  were  in  at- 
tendance: William  P.  Boger,  Jr., 
'34;  John  Raker,  '37;  and  John 
G.  Sholl,  3rd,  '37. 

The  Rev.  John  Feaster,  '30. 
drove  down  from  Kennebunkport, 
Maine,  for  the  occasion,  as  did  the 
Rev.  and  Mrs.  Arthur  A.  Rouner. 
Mrs.  Rouner  was  Elizabeth  Ste- 
phens,  '18. 

Letters  were  received  from  a 
number  who  found  it  impossible 
to  come  to  Boston.  Writing  from 
Los  Angeles,  Calif.,  Mrs.  Leroy 
Stephens,  '87,  tells  of  her  active 
interest  in  the  Baptist  work  of  that 
area.  John  O.  L.  Roser,  '11,  of 
Pittsfield,  who  has  been  with  the 
General  Electric  since  graduation 
includes  the  following  paragraph: 

"I  have  a  family  of  five  child- 
ren —  two  of  them,  Jack,  '37, 
and  Jean,  '37,  have  been  to  Buck- 
nell; two  more  who,  I  hope,  will 
go  next  fall.  The  youngest  is  11. 
He  has  plenty  of  time  yet". 

Old  timers  will  be  delighted 
with  the  note  received  from  the 
Perrys  who  are  living  at  40  Web- 
ster St.,  Brookline,  Mass.  "Mrs. 
Perry  and  I  send  greetings.  We 
are  sorry  that  we  cannot  be  with 
you.     Mrs.  Perry  was  May  Ger- 


hart,  of  the  class  of  1877,  and  last 
year  was  the  sixtieth  anniversary 
of  her  graduation.  We  planned  to 
be  at  Commencement,  but  on  ac- 
count of  what  the  doctor  called 
an  over-tired  heart,  I  was  not  able 
to  make  the  trip.  My  class  was 
1878,  the  last  class  that  President 
Loomis  graduated.  I  have  had  a 
great  time  with  our  presidents.  I 
was  given  the  degree  of  A.B.  by 
President  Loomis,  A.M.  by  Presi- 
dent Hill,  Ph.D.  by  President  Har- 
ris, D.D.  by  President  Hunt." 
Signed  —  Joseph  E.  Perry,  '78. 

The  Rev.  Newton  C.  Fetter, 
'09,  presided.  The  following  offi- 
cers were  elected:  President,  H.  A. 
Larson,  '21,  Braintree,  Mass.; 
Vice  President,  Mrs.  Charles  W. 
Bond,  '20,  Wellesley  Hills;  and 
Secretary,  Wm.  C.  A.  Willman, 
'22,  of  the  Boston  Chamber  of 
Commerce.

ALLENTOWN 
February  18  —  A  meeting  of  the 
Lehigh  Valley  Bucknell  Alumni 
Association  was  held  on  February 
18  at  the  Hotel  Allen  in  Allen- 
town,  Pennsylvania,  with  30 
members  present.  Mr.  Lee  Francis 
Lybarger,  Jr.,  '28,  gave  a  very  in- 
teresting talk  and  showed  moving 
pictures  of  Bucknell  activities. 

We  expect  to  have  another 
meeting  the  latter  part  of  March 
to  elect  officers  for  the  ensuing 
year.

PHILADELPHIA 
February  23  —  Forty  Bucknell 
Alumni  from  Philadelphia  and 
vicinity  gathered  at  the  University 
Club,  16th  and  Locust  Sts.,  Phila- 
delphia, in  an  old-time  rally  and 
smoker,  on  February  23rd,  with 
Dr.  A.  C.  Marts,  acting  president 
of  Bucknell,  as  the  leading  speak- 
er of  the  occasion.  There  were 
present  from  among  the  alumni  of 
Philadelphia  and  vicinity,  Dr.  E. 
E.   Keiser,   '86,   one  of  the  older 


Bucknell  graduates;  Joseph  W. 
Henderson,  '08,  and  H.  Board- 
man  Hopper,  'of  the  Board  of 
Trustees;  and  a  number  of  Buck- 
nellians from  interior  Pennsylva- 
nia.   Romain  C.  Hassrick  presided. 

The  address  of  Dr.  Marts  was 
an  accounting  of  his  stewardship 
as  acting  president  of  the  Univer- 
sity. He  sketched  the  progress 
that  the  University  has  enjoyed  in 
the  field  of  higher  education  and 
reviewed  the  progressive  plans  for 
the  future.  He  said  that  the 
University  has  decided  it  will  ac- 
commodate 1200  students  accept- 
ably and  that  the  student  body 
would  be  limited  to  approximately 
that  number. 

The  meeting  was  in  the  nature 
of  a  reception  to  Dr.  Marts,  who 
enjoys  great  popularity  among  the 
alumni  in  the  Philadelphia  area. 
Dr.  A.  R.  Garner,  '99,  of  Norris- 
town,  the  only  other  speaker  of  the 
evening,  informed  the  alumni  as  to 
the  athletic  situation  at  Bucknell 
and  urged  them  to  support  the 
program  of  the  Athletic  Council. 

It  was  decided  that  the  next 
meeting  of  the  Alumni  will  be  an 
occasion  for  honoring  the  Hon. 
O.  B.  Dickinson,  '77,  judge  of 
the  Federal  Court  for  the  Eastern 
District  of  Pennsylvania,  one  of 
the  outstanding  sons  of  Bucknell. 
Romain  C.  Hassrick,  '06 

THE  SUMMER  SCHOOL 
Beside  the  usual  variety  of 
courses  in  economics,  engineering, 
academic  subjects  and  education, 
a  number  of  special  features  will 
be  offered  by  the  1938  Summer 
School.  Among  these  are  a  Con- 
ference on  International  Relations, 
one  on  The  New  Leisure,  and  a 
one-week  school  of  Parent  Educa- 
tion. The  last-named  is  being 
presented  in  cooperation  with  the 
National  and  Pennsylvania  Con- 
gresses of  Parents  and  Teachers. 


The  customary  class  reunions 
will  of  course  be  held  this  coming 
Commencement.  The  classes 
scheduled  for  reunions  are  those 
ending  in  "3's"  and  "8's",  such 
as  the  classes  of  1873,  1878,  1883, 
1  888,  and  so  on. 

Class  secretaries  are  urged  to 
communicate  with  the  members  of 
their  groups,  to  secure  as  large  an 
attendance  as  possible.  Registrar 
H.  W.  Holter  and  the  Alumni  Of- 
fice will  be  glad  to  cooperate  with 
any  or  all  returning  alumni.  Spe- 
cial programs  are  being  prepared 
for  Alumni  Day.

The  BUCKNELL  ALUMNI  MONTHLY 


THE  LITERARY  WEEK  END 
STARTS  A  NEW  CUSTOM 
(Continued  from  Page  2  ) 
as  much  as  possible  of  the  work  of 
Bucknell  authors.  In  preparation 
for  this  exhibit,  Dr.  Mary  Bartol 
Theiss  had  made  an  investigation 
that  occupied  several  weeks,  in  an 
effort  to  discover  the  identity  of 
every  Bucknellian  who  has  done 
any  literary  work  since  the  begin- 
ning of  the  college.  She  discovered 
more  than  300  authors  of  books 
and  additional  writers  for  peri- 
odicals. Their  combined  titles 
exceeded  1200.  These  were  the 
books  Miss  Martin  had  assembled, 
or  as  many  of  them  as  she  had 
been  able  to  secure,  for  they  had 
to  be  gathered  from  the  far  corners 
of  the  land. 

Among  the  outstanding  writers 
whose  work  was  on  display  were 
Dr.  David  Jayne  Hill,  once  presi- 
dent of  the  college,  a  foremost 
writer  on  international  law;  Dr. 
Robert  Lowry,  once  professor  of 
literature  here,  a  world-famous 
song  writer;  Dr.  Justin  R.  Loomis, 
another  former  president,  who 
wrote  some  notable  books  on  sci- 
ence; Dr.  Lewis  E.  Theiss,  present 
professor  of  journalism  at  Buck- 
nell, one  of  the  leading  American 
writers  for  boys;  Christopher 
Mathewson,  the  late  baseball 
pitcher,  who  also  wrote  a  number 
of  juveniles,   and  many  others. 

Faculty  contributions  to  maga- 
zines were  also  on  exhibition. 
Many  Bucknell  teachers  have  writ- 
ten articles  of  a  technical  or  semi- 
technical  nature  for  educational 
journals.  Dr.  George  A.  Ireland 
exhibited  several  of  his  technical 
monographs  that  have  been  pub- 
lished by  the  U.  S.  Government 
for  general  distribution.  Professor 
Lewis  E.  Theiss  displayed  articles 
in  forty  or  more  different  general 
magazines  and  Dr.  J.  Orin  Oly- 
phant  had  on  exhibition  some 
notable  articles  published  in  his- 
torical journals.  There  were  dif- 
ferent  articles   in   school   journals. 

Altogether,  the  entire  venture 
was  noteworthy.  It  was  a  ven- 
ture into  a  new  field.  Dedications 
we  have  had  before,  both  here  and 
elsewhere;  but  perhaps  never  was 
a  dedication  more  appropriately 
embellished  than  was  the  dedica- 
tion of  the  Vaughan  Literature 
Building  expanded  and  adorned  by 
this  truly  worth  while  and  inspir- 
ing week  end  devoted  to  literature. 
Assured  Bucknell  has  "started 
something." 


WITH  OUR  ATHLETES 

BASEBALL  will  be  continued 
as  an  intercollegiate  sport  at 
Bucknell,  it  has  been  decided 
by  the  Athletic  Council,  reversing 
an  earlier  decision  to  abandon  the 
game  because  of  inclement  weather 
and  lack  of  student  interest. 

Already  Coach  John  J.  Sitar- 
sky,  '36,  has  sent  his  charges 
through  indoor  drills  for  several 
weeks.  Beginning  indoor  practice 
early  in  February,  the  Bisons  were 
off  to  a  very  early  start. 

The  diamond  schedule  is  as  fol- 
lows: April  22,  Albright,  Lewis- 
burg;  April  25,  Gettysburg,  Lew- 
isburg;  May  3,  Lebanon  Valley, 
Annville;  May  4,  Bloomsburg  S. 
T.  C,  Lewisburg;  May  7,  Eliza- 
bethtown,  Lewisburg;  May  12, 
Lebanon  Valley,  Lewisburg;  May 
20,  Albright,  Reading:  May  21, 
Bloomsburg  S.  T.  C,  Blooms- 
burg: May  23,  Elizabethtown, 
Elizabethtown:  May  24,  Susque- 
hanna, Selinsgrove;  May  26,  Sus- 
quehanna, Lewisburg:  and  June  4. 
Penn  State,  State  College. 

Meanwhile,  the  varsity  track 
men  this  spring  will  engage  in  five 
dual  meets  and  two  tournaments. 
Coached  by  John  Plant,  the  track 
team  will  open  April  27  with  a 
home  meet  against  F.  and  M. 

Juniata  and  Lafayette  will  come 
to  Lewisburg  for  matches,  while 
the  Plantmen  will  go  on  the  road 
to  tackle  Dickinson  and  Susque- 
hanna. The  team  will  compete  in 
the  Penn  Relays  April  29  and  30 
and  the  Middle  Atlantics  at  Get- 
tysburg May  13  and  14. 

Winter  sports  are  scheduled  to 
conclude  this  month,  with  the 
basketball  team  driving  toward  a 
triumphant  finale  after  a  mediocre 
start.  Late  in  the  campaign  the 
Mussermen  built  up  a  six-game 
winning  streak,  and  entered  their 
final  two  games  with  a  record  of 
seven  victories  and  five  defeats. 

Coach  Joe  Reno's  boxers,  al- 
though champions  of  the  Eastern 
Inter-collegiate  Boxing  Conference, 
have  been  beset  by  a  series  of 
injuries  and  withdrawals  which 
have  destroyed  their  chances  of 
making  an  above-average  dual 
meet  record. 

However,  since  the  Bison  mitt- 
men  are  strongly  fortified  at  four 
positions,  they  have  a  chance  of 
again  winning  the  conference 
crown  on  March  18  and  19  at 
Morgantown,   W.   Va. 


MANY  INTERESTING  ITEMS 
ABOUT  B.  U.  WRITERS 

(Continued  from  Page  5) 

withdrawal  of  the  commission 
from  Russia,  he  returned  to  the 
United  States  and  was  appointed 
director  of  the  Hoover  War  Li- 
brary at  Stanford  and  professor  of 
history.    He  died  in  1929. 

Charles  Carpenter  Fries,  '09, 
faculty  'll-'20,  now  professor  of 
English  at  the  University  of  Mich- 
igan, displayed  portions  of  manu- 
scripts and  printed  pages  of  the 
new  English  dictionary,  the  com- 
pilation of  which  he  heads.  This 
dictionary  is  expected  to  be  as  im- 
portant as  the  Oxford  dictionary. 
Dr.  Leo  L.  Rockwell,  '07,  form- 
erly of  the  Bucknell  faculty,  also 
worked  on  these  volumes,  under 
Dr.  Fries'  direction. 

Dr.  David  Jayne  Hill,  known 
to  all  as  a  foremost  diplomat  and 
authority  on  international  law,  as 
a  young  man  wrote  the  second 
textbooks  written  by  a  Bucknel- 
lian that  were  used  at  Bucknell. 
These  were  his  "Elements  of 
Rhetoric  and  Composition"  and 
"Science  of  Rhetoric." 

Two  books  dealing  with  the 
Susquehanna  have  been  written  by 
Bucknellians.  Hiles  C.  Pardoe, 
'61,  wrote  for  the  Methodist  Book 
Company  "Up  the  Susquehanna." 
Lippincotts  published  "Legends  of 
the  Susquehanna,"  written  by 
Truman  H.  Purdy,  '58. 

Dr.  S.  Calvin  Smith,  '01,  a 
Philadelphia  heart  specialist,  has 
written  three  able  books  dealing 
with  the  heart.  They  are:  "Heart 
affections,  their  recognition  and 
treatment";  "Heart  records,  their 
interpretation  and  preparation"; 
and  "How  is  Your  Heart?"  These 
are  intimate  talks  on  the  preven- 
tion of  heart  disease  and  on  the 
care  of  an  already  damaged  heart. 

Bucknell  has  shown  rather  an 
unusual  record  for  a  small  college 
only  92  years  old,  in  the  matter 
of  fraternities.  Dr.  Robert  Lowry, 
'54,  in  1893  compiled  and  edited 
the  first  song  book  of  Phi  Kappa 
Psi.  William  C.  Gretzinger,  '89, 
our  first  registrar,  edited  the  Shield 
of  Phi  Kappa  Psi  from  1895-7. 
Mary  Bartol  compiled  the  first  and 
second  editions  of  the  Songs  of 
Pi  Beta  Phi.  and  compiled  the  sec- 
ond edition  of  the  general  cata- 
logue of  the  fraternity.  As  Mrs. 
Theiss  she  was  editor-in-chief  of 
the  Arrow  of  Pi   Beta  Phi   from 


MARCH,   19)8 


13 


1908-1912.  In  1911  Mrs.  Kate 
McLaughlin  Bourne  edited  the 
third  edition  of  the  general  cata- 
logue of  Pi  Beta  Phi.  Dr.  Elkanah 
B.  Hulley,  now  a  member  of  our 
Board  of  Trustees,  was  editor-in- 
chief  of  the  Phi  Gamma  Delta 
Quarterly  from  191 1  to  1917.  He 
also  compiled  and  edited  as  an  is- 
sue of  the  magazine  a  catalogue  of 
the  fraternity's  membership. 

A.  Donald  Gray,  '14,  who  has 
been  landscaping  the  campus,  pub- 
lished in  1935  at  the  insistence  of 
the  Saalfield  Publishing  Company, 
"Your  garden;  plan;  planting; 
care."  The  book  has  sold  widely, 
and  with  good  reason. 

Major  General  David  McMur- 
trie  Gregg,  ex-' 5 4,  stood  eighth  in 
his  class  at  West  Point,  1855.  He 
was  brevetted  major  general  of 
volunteers  August  1,  1864,  "for 
highly  meritorious  and  distin- 
guished conduct  throughout  the 
campaign,  particularly  in  the  re- 
connoissance  on  the  Charles  City 
Road,  Va."  He  has  written  the 
story  of  "The  second  cavalry  divi- 
sion of  the  army  of  the  Potomac 
in  the  Gettysburg  campaign."  He 
spent  his  later  years  in  Reading, 
Pa.,  where  his  statue  has  been 
erected  in  a  city  park. 

While  Dr.  Curtis  lived  in  Lew- 
isburg  he  occupied  the  house  now 
the  residence  of  Dr.  Wm.  C.  Bartol 
on  University  Avenue.  The  north 
side  of  the  house  still  has  its  wall 
peppered  with  short  black  leather 
straps  by  which  Dr.  Curtis  had 
trained  in  English  espalier  fashion 
an  apricot  tree  over  the  side  of  the 
house.  There  still  remain  in  the 
yard  two  southern  fringe  bushes 
which  he  planted. 

His  father-in-law,  Mr.  Rest 
Fenner,  of  London,  had  published 
much  of  Coleridge's  writings. 
These  original  manuscripts  had 
become  the  property  of  Dr.  Curtis 
at  the  time  he  lived  in  Lewisburg. 

He  was  an  abolitionist,  and  the 
barn  which  used  to  stand  on  his 
land  (the  foundations  are  still  vis- 
ible in  the  rear  of  the  Rivenburg 
home,  close  to  Bliss  alley  at  the 
railroad,  as  property  lines  were 
changed  after  the  Philadelphia  and 
Reading  Railroad  cut  its  way 
across  the  lower  campus) ,  was  used 
to  shelter  southern  negroes  as  a 
branch  of  the  famous  "under- 
ground railroad"  which  transport- 
ed by  night  and  sheltered  by  day, 
escaping  slaves. 


Ralph  Charles  Henry  Catterall, 
A.B.  '91,  was  professor  of  history 
at  Cornell  University  when  he  died 
in  1914.  His  "Second  Bank  of  the 
United  States,"  published  by  the 
University  of  Chicago  in  1903,  is 
still  an  authority  in  its  field,  At 
the  time  Catterall  took  his  Ph.D. 
at  the  University  of  Chicago,  the 
Chicago  chapter  of  Phi  Beta  Kappa 
had  a  regulation  that  any  person 
receiving  his  Ph.D.  summa  cum 
laude  was  initiated  into  Phi  Beta 
Kappa,  thus  earning,  not  merely 
being  eligible  to  election  to,  his 
key.  Catterall  is  the  only  Buck- 
nell graduate  known  to  have  been 
thus  honored. 

The  late  Dr.  William  Frear,  '81, 
and  faculty  '81 -'83.  for  so  many 
years  professor  of  chemistry  at 
Pennsylvania  State  College,  was  a 
member  of  the  Pure  Food  and 
Drugs  committee.  He  was  an  out- 
standing chemist. 

U.  S.  Senator  James  J.  Davis 
(Hon.  LL.D.  '24)  in  his  book 
"Iron  puddler;  my  life  in  the  roll- 
ing mills  and  what  came  of  it"  tells 
the  dramatic  story  of  his  life. 
When  he  was  in  Lewisburg  at  the 
Commencement  of  1924,  upon  the 
occasion  of  the  conferring  of  the 
honorary  degree  of  LL.D.,  he  said 
that  his  mother  from  her  little  sav- 
ings in  1846  had  contributed  to 
the  new  college  at  Lewisburg. 

Mrs.  Sara  Chamberlain  Eccles- 
ton,  Inst.  '58.  translated  into 
Spanish  for  Appleton's  some  early 
books  on  the  kindergarten.  She 
went  to  Buenos  Aires  in  the  late 
eighties  to  develop  kindergartens 
in  Argentina.  She  was  one  of  two 
outstanding  kindergarten  teachers 
selected  to  go  to  South  America, 
by  the  U.  S.  government,  at  the 
request  of  the  Argentine  govern- 
ment. 

The  Baptist  Encyclopaedia, 
published  in  1881,  and  still  the 
standard  source  book  for  Baptist 
history,  was  written  by  William 
Cathcart,  who  received  the  hon- 
orary degree  of  D.D.  in   1873. 

Bucknell  has  some  noteworthy 
grandchildren.  Marion  Reilly, 
who  was  dean  of  Bryn  Mawr 
College  from  1907  almost  to  the 
time  of  her  death  in  1928,  was  the 
youngest  child  and  only  daughter 
of  Congressman  John  Reilly  of 
Altoona  and  his  wife  Anna  -E. 
Lloyd,  Inst.  '64.  She  served  in 
Philadelphia  on  the  committee  of 
awards  for  Mr.  Edward  Bok,  and 
until    1927   was   president   of  the 


Philadelphia  branch  of  the  League 
of  Women  Voters. 

Elinor  Hoyt  Wylie,  the  poet, 
was  a  granddaughter  of  Governor 
Henry  M.  Hoyt  of  Pennsylvania, 
who  was  a  member  of  our  Board 
of  Curators  from  1879  to  1882. 
Dorothy  Johnstone  Baseler,  the 
Philadelphia  harpist,  is  the  daugh- 
ter of  Hettie  Henry  Johnston, 
Inst.  '65,  of  Cynwyd. 

Thomas  Ustick  Walter,  the  ar- 
chitect of  Old  Main  and  of  the 
Academy  Building,  now  called 
Taylor  Hall,  also  built  the  classi- 
cal Girard  College  building,  in 
Philadelphia,  and  the  wings  and 
dome  of  the  Capitol  at  Washing- 
ton. In  1846  he  published  his 
"Guide  to  Workers  in  Metal  and 
Stone,"  as  well  as  "Two  hundred 
designs  for  cottages  and  villas." 
Many  of  his  letters,  notebooks, 
sketchbooks,  and  drawings  are  now 
owned  by  Mrs.  C.H.Wegemann  of 
Baltimore,  who  also  inherited  his 
portrait  as  a  young  man,  painted 
by  John  Neagle.  The  College  of 
Architecture  of  Cornell  Univer- 
sity the  Library  of  Congress,  the 
office  of  the  architect  of  the  Capi- 
tol, the  office  of  public  buildings 
and  parks,  and  the  office  of  the 
supervising  architect  of  the  Treas- 
ury Department  contain  a  wealth 
of  his  material. 

The  Pennsylvania  Grit  of  Wil- 
liamsport  was  originated  late  in 
1 882  by  Henry  M.  Wolf,  Jr.,  '80, 
when  he  was  editor  of  the  daily 
Sun  and  Banner  of  Williamsport. 
From  1888  to  1891  William  W. 
Kelchner,  '86,  later  a  trustee  of 
Bucknell,  edited  the  early  volumes 
of  the  Pennsylvania  School  Jour- 
nal. 

Ruth  Sprague  Downs,  '98,  had 
an  interesting  exhibit  of  Braille. 
For  some  twenty  years  she  has 
been  doing  work  in  Braille  for  the 
American  Red  Cross.  Just  now 
she  has  been  transcribing  into 
Braille  advanced  mathematics  for 
a  blind  graduate  student  at  the 
University  of  Pennsylvania.  This 
work  involved  the  satisfactory  in- 
ventions of  mathematical  signs  and 
notations  in  Braille. 

These  items  constitute  but  a 
small  fraction  of  the  interesting 
material  unearthed  in  this  search 
for  Bucknell  writers.  In  many 
parts  of  the  world,  and  in  many 
fields  of  thought,  Bucknell  writers 
have  achieved.  We  can  well  be 
proud   of   them.

graduated  by  Bucknell  in  1935,  and  is 
now  doing  graduate  work  in  sociology  at 
the  University  of  Chicago. 

On  furlough  since  June.  1927,  Rev.

at  Shanghai  and  live  in  the  French  sec- 
tion of  the  International  Settlement.  Mr. 
Hylbert  received  word  recently  that  his 
home  was  damaged  when  a  bomb  fell  on 
his  property. 

1908 

Mrs.  W.  W.  Long,  the  former  Elsie 
Owens,  is  residing  at  939  S.  20th  St., 
Birmingham,    Ala. 

Dr.  John  C.  Hostetter,  vice  president 
in  charge  of  development  and  research  at 
the  Hartford-Empire  Glass  Company,  of 
Hartford,  Conn.,  was  a  recent  chapel 
speaker  at  Bucknell.  He  talked  about 
developments  in  the  field  of  science.  Dr. 
Hostetter  was  until  recently  an  official 
of  the  Corning  Glass  Works,  at  Corning, 
N.  Y.  The  200-inch  lens,  cast  there  for 
a  western  observatory,  was  made  under  his 
supervision.  It  is  the  largest  lens  in  the 
world. 

E.  Carroll  Condict.  to  whom  Bucknell 
gave  a  D.D.  a  few  years  ago,  is  back  in 
Burma  after  a  considerable  leave  of  ab- 
sence, spent  mostly  in  Lewisburg  where 
his  sons  were  attending  Bucknell.  One 
of  them  graduated  last  year.  Dr.  Condict 
says  that  he  is  not  really  an  educator, 
yet  he  confesses  that  for  more  than  25 
years  the  government  of  Burma  has  ad- 
dressed him  as  Superintendent  of  the 
A.B.M.  Chin  School,  at  Thayetmyo. 
His  school  has  eight  grades,  like  our  gram- 
mar schools.  It  is  co-ed  and  has  a  board- 
ing department.  There  are  150  stu- 
dents and  seven  qualified  teachers.  He 
began  with  29  students  and  three  teachers. 
Dr.  Condict's  record  in  the  mission  field 
has  been  an  admirable  one.  During  the 
World  War  he  played  an  interesting  part. 
Chin  troops  were  transported  to  the  bat- 
tlefields by  the  Allies,  but  nothing  could 
be  done  with  them  because  there  was  no 
one  at  hand  who  could  speak  their  lan- 
guage. Finally  Dr.  Condict  was  taken  to 
them,  and  he  straightened  out  all  difficul- 
ties,   as   he   spoke    their    language    readily.

surgeon,  died  recently  in  Philadelphia, 
where  for  many  years  he  had  lived  and 
served  as  surgeon  and  president  of  the 
Wills  Eye  and  Ear  Hospital.  He  was 
about   70  years  of  age. 

He  was  graduated  from  Bucknell  in 
1888.  Three  years  later  he  added  to 
his  A.B.  degree  that  of  A.M.,  also  from 
Bucknell.  And  in  193  2  his  Alma  Mater 
bestowed  upon  him  the  honorary  degree 
Sc.D.  Thus  he  was  one  of  the  few 
persons  who  held  three  degrees  from 
Bucknell.  In  addition,  he  held  the  degree 
M.D.,  which  he  earned  at  the  University 
of    Pennsylvania. 

Beginning  quite  early  to  specialize  in 
diseases  of  the  eye,  he  became  well  known 
as  an  eye  doctor,  and  eventually  was  one 
of  the  leading  eye  surgeons  and  doctors 
in  Philadelphia.  This  field  of  interest 
naturally  drew  him  into  close  relationship 
with  the  eye  hospital,  and  for  many  years 
he  was  chief  surgeon  there,  as  well  as 
president  of   the   organization. 

He  married  Miss  Lillian  Cook,  who 
preceded  him  in  death.  His  body  was 
interred  in  the  West  Laurel  Hill  Cemetery. 

WILLARD  M.  BUNNELL 

Willard  M.  Bunnell,  Esq.,  '97,  one 
of  Scranton's  best  known  citizens,  died 
on  February  4  at  his  home,  410  Clay 
Ave.,  Scranton,  after  suffering  a  para- 
lytic stroke  four  days  previously.  He  was 
64  years  old.  He  is  survived  by  his 
widow  and  two  sons. 

The  deceased  was  born  on  January  14, 
1874,  at  Dimock,  Susquehanna  County, 
Pa.  He  came  from  outstanding  New 
England  stock.  He  was  the  son  of  Wil- 
liam J.  Bunnell,  who  was  a  direct  de- 
escendant  of  William  Bunnell,  a  founder 
of  New  Haven.  Conn.,  in  163  9.  Mr. 
Bunnell's  father  was  for  many  years  edi- 
tor and  proprietor  of  the  Montrose  Rec- 
ord, the  leading  Susquehanna  County 
newspaper. 

Upon  his  graduation  from  Montrose 
High  School,  young  Bunnell  went  to 
Keystone  Academy,  and  later  entered  Buck- 
nell. He  at  once  became  a  leader,  and  all 
through  his  college  days  was  outstanding. 
A  member  of  Phi  Gamma  Delta  social 
fraternity,  he  became  class  president  in 
his  sophomore  year.  He  played  on  the 
baseball  team,  was  a  member  of  the  track 
team,  played  football  and  was  captain  of 
the  varsity,  and  was  student  director  of 
the  gymnasium.  In  music  he  was  like- 
wise outstanding,  for  he  possessed  a  very 
unusual  tenor  voice,  of  great  sweetness 
and  strength.  Indeed,  his  fine  singing 
ability  played  no  small  part  in  his  suc- 
cess in  life.  He  sang  in  the  Chapel  Choir 
and  the  Glee  Club,  and  was  the  leader 
of  the  latter  organization  by  the  time  he 
was  a  sophomore.  He  became  leader  of  the 
University  Band.  He  played  in  the  col- 
lege orchestra,  and  he  was  the  leading 
figure  and  editor  in  the  production  of  the 
first  Bucknell  song  book.  With  it  all 
he  was  a  good   student. 

In  business  life  he  was  just  as  success- 
ful as  he  had  been  in  college.  He  was 
one  of  the  organizers  of  the  Anthracite 
Trust  Company,  which  went  to  the  wall 
during    the    depression    of    19  29,    and    he 


19 


served  as  vice  president  of  the  organiza- 
tion. He  was  identified  with  many  other 
enterprises,  and  stood  high  as  a  lawyer. 
During  the  World  War  he  acted  as  Scran- 
ton  chairman  for  the  third  and  fourth 
Liberty  Loan  drives.  He  was  assistant 
manager  of  the  Lackawanna  County 
Victory  Loan  drive,  and  Red  Cross  chair- 
man   for   the    county. 

A  Democrat  in  politics,  he  was  elected 
prothonotary  of  Lackawanna  County  in 
1909.  In  1913  he  was  the  candidate 
for  the  mayoralty  on  the  first  nonpartisan 
ticket  ever  launched  in  Scranton.  but 
failed  to  win. 

He  was  connected  with  many  fraternal 
orders,  including  the  Masons,  the  Odd 
Fellows,  the  Elks,  Knights  of  Pythias, 
P.O.S.  of  A.,  Sons  of  America,  and  other 
societies.  He  was  the  first  vice  president 
of  the  Scranton  Kiwanis  Club,  and  was 
a  member  of  the  New  England  Society. 
He  was  a  member  of  the  Episcopal 
Church. 

MRS.  LUCY  BAILEY  HARRIS 

Mrs.  Lucy  Bailey  Harris,  widow  of 
the  late  Dr.  John  Howard  Harris,  for 
thirty  years  president  of  Bucknell  Uni- 
versity, died  on  January  26  at  the  home 
of  her  eldest  son,  Reese  Harris.  '03,  Scran- 
ton attorney,  and  former  member  of  the 
Board  of  Trustees.  Mrs.  Harris  was  al- 
most 80  years  of  age,  and  death  was  due 
to   the   infirmities   of   old   age. 

Following  the  funeral  services  in  her 
son's  home,  Mrs.  Harris  was  brought  to 
Lewisburg,  for  interment  in  the  family 
burial  plot  in  the  Lewisburg  cemetery. 
Through  the  courtesy  of  President  Marts, 
her  body  was  first  brought  to  the  presi- 
dential residence,  where  she  had  lived  and 
graciously  presided  for  so  many  years, 
and  where  scores  of  her  friends  came  to 
say  a  last  good  bye.  After  an  impressive 
service  there,  the  funeral  party  moved  on 
to  the  cemetery,  where  the  body  was  laid 
at  rest  beside  that  of  her  late  husband. 
The  pallbearers  were  six  of  her  own 
sons. 

Few  women  who  have  presided  in  the 
home  of  Bucknell's  president  have  won 
such  affectionate  regard  from  Bucknell 
supporters,  friends,  and  alumni  as  Mrs. 
Harris  won.  Gentle,  kindly,  intelligent, 
she  came  to  the  campus  with  her  husband 
from  the  Keystone  Academy,  where  he  had 
been  principal  before  he  became  president 
of  the  college.  Accustomed  to  students 
and  student  ways,  she  entered  heartily 
into  the  life  of  the  campus.  For  thirty 
years,  while  her  husband  was  president, 
and  for  five  years  more,  while  he  was 
still  teaching  here  after  retiring  from  the 
presidency.  Mrs.  Harris  lived  on  the 
campus,  in  friendly  touch  with  the  stu- 
dent body.  During  those  years  the  col- 
lege proper  grew  from  an  institution  of 
approximately  70  to  be  a  group  of  more 
than  700.  Thus  she  came  to  know  a  great 
army   of   Bucknellians. 

Mrs.  Harris  was  the  mother  of  eight 
sons,  seven  of  whom  are  living.  Dr. 
Harris  had,  in  addition,  two  other  child- 
ren by  a  former  wife.  They  are  Herbert 
Harris,  Esq.,  and  Dr.  Mary  Harris,  head 
of  the  Federal  Institution  for  Women  at 
Alderson.  W.  Va.  All  of  these  children 
were  graduated  from  Bucknell,  and  the 
family  is  still  represented  on  the  Board 
of  Trustees  by  Dr.    Mary   Harris. 

Dr.  Harris  was  not  only  president  of 
Bucknell,  but  was  also  an  alumnus,  for 
he  was  graduated  from  the  University  in 
1869,   when   he   was  still  very  youthful. 


Afrs.   Lucy   Bailey  Harris 


Harris  Hall,  one  of  the  dormitories  for 
women,  was  named  in  his  honor  by  the 
Board  of  Trustees.

past  thirty  years  medical  director  of  the 
Burn  Brae  Sanitarium,  in  Primos.  Pa.. 
died  recently  at  the  age  of  sixty- four. 

Dr.  Stanton  came  from  a  family  which 
was  closely  tied  to  Bucknell  University. 
Flis  elder  sister,  Mrs.  Evelyn  Stanton 
Gundy,  was  graduated  from  Bucknell  in 
1890,  being  the  fourth  woman  graduate 
of  the  college  and  the  first  woman  to 
whom  a  scholarship  prize  was  awarded. 
Seven  years  later  she  became  the  first  dean 
of  the  college  women,  retaining  that  po- 
sition until  1904  when  she  was  married 
to  Dr.  Charles  A.  Gundy.  '93.  Lewis- 
burg physician.  Two  brothers  and  an- 
other sister,  Mary,  '07.  now  married, 
who  became  preceptress  of  the  Institute, 
also  attended  Bucknell. 

Dr.  Stanton  came  to  Bucknell  from 
Keystone  Academy,  and  after  his  gradua- 
tion here  earned  his  medical  degree  at  the 
University  of  Pennsylvania.  After  fol- 
lowing a  general  practice  for  several 
years  he  built  up  a  private  sanitarium  of 
his  own. 


He  was  a  member  of  the  Philadelphia 
Zoological  Society,  the  Phi  Gamma  Delta 
social  fraternity,  the  Sons  of  the  War  of 
1812,  the  Philadelphia  Psychiatry  So- 
ciety, and  the  Rose  Tree  Hunt  Club.  He

ton, '0  2.  Cleveland  attorney,  and  his 
five  sons  and  two  daughters. 

GEORGE  E.  SCHILLING 

A  Bucknellian  who  not  only  made  a 
success  of  his  life,  but  who  also  made 
a  deep  impress  upon  his  community,  was 
George  E.  Schilling,  '00,  late  principal 
of  the  Bradford.  Pa..  Senior  High  School 
who  died  on  January  27  at  the  Bradford 
Hospital,  where  he  had  been  a  patient 
for  several  days.  He  had  been  ill  for  a 
year. 

Early  in  life  he  acquired  the  habit 
of  making  himself  felt.  Born  in  Cumber- 
land, Md.,  June  20,  1871.  he  passed 
through  the  grammar  school  to  the  Mt. 
Pleasant  Institute,  in  Western  Pennsylva- 
nian,  and  from  there  to  Bucknell  Univer- 
sity, where  he  covered  the  usual  four-year 


course  in  three  years,  being  graduated  in 
June,  1900.  Not  only  was  he  outstand- 
ing as  a  student  here,  but  he  was  also 
a  leader  in  college  music  circles.  He  sang 
in  the  Glee  Club,  was  leader  of  the  Man- 
dolin and  Guitar  Club,  played  in  the 
college  orchestra,  and  was  a  member  of 
the  chapel  choir.  He  served  as  a  reporter 
on  the  Orange  and  Blue  (now  The 
Bucknellian) ,  and  took  part  in  interclass 
track  sports.  He  was  a  member  of  the 
Kappa  Sigma  fraternity. 

Following  his  graduation,  he  attended 
Crozer  Theological  Seminary  for  one 
term.  He  had  some  experience  in  busi- 
ness. For  a  time  he  was  secretary  of  the 
Y.M.C.A.  at  Franklin.  Then  he  turned 
to  teaching  and  secured  a  position  on  the 
Franklin  High  School  faculty,  where  he 
taught  for  three  and  a  half  years.  Mean- 
time, he  took  up  advanced  work  at  Buck- 
nell,  and  in  1920  gained  his  Master  of 
Arts  degree  here.  At  once  he  became  prin- 
cipal of  the  Bradford  High  School,  which 
position  he  retained  to  the  day  of  his 
death,  making  a  deep  impression  on  both 
students  and   townsfolk  in   that   city. 

Perhaps  nothing  better  shows  the  af- 
fection in  which  he  was  held  than  two 
editorials  that  were  printed  in  the  Brad- 
ford Era  immediately  after  his  death. 
One,  written  by  a  high  school  student, 
and  published  under  the  title  "Lost — 
A  Friend,"  said,  in  part:  'A  more  broad- 
minded  person  never  lived.  Our  troubles 
at  school  became  mere  trifles  when  we 
were  in  his  presence  and  listened  to  his 
words  of  encouragement  and  guidance. 
Being  sent  to  the  office  for  some  form  of 
misconduct  ceased  to  be  a  thought  of 
entering  our  'chamber  of  torture'  because 
once  there  we  were  immediately  put  at 
ease.  He  heard  our  side  of  the  story, 
and  being  the  fair-minded  person  that 
he  was,  he  gave  us  a  fair  trial." 

The  newspaper  itself,  in  commenting 
editorially  upon  Mr.  Schilling's  death, 
remarked:  "During  his  eighteen  years  of 
loving  labor  in  this  city  in  the  profession 
which  he  preferred  above  all  others,  Mr. 
Schilling  won  the  unstinted  admiration 
and  respect  of  all  who  know  him  per- 
sonally, or  who  knew  of  his  work  in  the 
local  high  school.  .  .  .  His  advice  and 
counsel  were  constantly  sought,  not  only 
by  students,  whose  educational  destinies 
he  painstakingly  guided,  but  by  many 
more   mature  citizens   as   well." 

HORACE  B.  KING 
Horace  B.  King,  '08,  Harrisburg  cor- 
poration tax  lawyer,  died  on  January 
11,  in  the  Harrisburg  Hospital,  at  the 
age  of  54,  from  a  chronic  heart  ailment. 
He  is  survived  by  his  widow  and  six 
children,  one  of  whom,  Horace  B.  King, 
attended  Bucknell  for  a  while  and  has 
just  taken  over  the  Lewisburg  News 
agency. 

The  deceased  started  life  in  a  little 
farmhouse  at  King's  Corners,  near  East 
Smethport.  Pa.  Beginning  his  schooling 
in  a  typical  one-room  country  school, 
across  the  road  from  his  father's  home,  he 
pushed  on  to  the  Smethport  High  School, 
from  which  he  was  graduated  at  the  age 
of  15.  After  teaching  country  schools 
for  three  years  and  also  working  in  Smeth- 
port stores,  he  entered  Bucknell  in  the 
fall  of  1904.  In  three  years  he  had  se- 
cured practically  all  the  credits  he  needed 
for  graduation,  though  he  did  not  get 
his  degree  until  1098.  Meantime,  he  was 
working  in  the  Dickinson  Law  School, 
from  which  he  was  graduated  in  1910. 
He  was  a   member  of  the  varsity  baseball 


team  during  most  of  his  time  at  Bucknell. 

After  leaving  Dickinson,  Mr.  King 
joined  United  States  Senator  James  J. 
Davis  in  developing  the  Order  of  Moose 
throughout  the  country.  In  1915  he  was 
admitted  to  the  Dauphin  County  bar,  and 
with  Attorney  Edward  Barnitz  formed 
a  firm  for  the  practice  of  corporation  tax 
law. 

Not  long  after  leaving  Dickinson,  Mr. 
King  married  Miss  Rose  Vanderbilt  Mc- 
Kcehan,  of  Carlisle,  who  survives  him. 
In  1925  he  built  a  pretentious  house  on 
the  Harrisburg  waterfront.  Constructing 
a  tennis  court  on  his  grounds,  he  took  up 
the  game,  and  although  he  had  never 
played  previously,  he  speedily  became  an 
outstanding  player.  Mr.  King  was  a 
member  of  the  Market  Square  Presby- 
terian Church,  and  was  active  in  church 
work.

curing students  for  their  Alma  Mater,  and  will  be  pleased  at  the 
showing  that  incoming  students  have  been  making,  during  Freshman 
Week,  when  given  the  psychological  examination  urged  by  the 
American  Council  on  Education. 

According  to  a  report  on  scholastic  matters  at  Bucknell,  made 
to  the  Bucknell  Board  of  Trustees  last  December  by  Dean  R.  H. 
Rivenburg.  Bucknell  freshmen  have  made  a  very  striking  record, 
as  the  following  extract  from  that  report  shows:  "It  is  interesting 
and  gratifying  to  note  that  the  median  score  of  the  entire  19,600 
students  in  various  colleges  was  163.  whereas  the  median  score  of 
the  entire  Bucknell  freshman  class  was  183.  Of  these  333  Buck- 
nell freshmen,  61,  or  one-fifth,  stood  in  the  upper  10  per  cent  of 
these  19,600  students,  who  represented  133  colleges.  In  all  these 
colleges  only  one  student  made  a  score  higher  than  369  in  these 
American  Council  examinations.  In  the  entire  United  States  only 
13  students  made  grades  of  340  to  349.  Two  of  these  were  Buck- 
nell students.  Thirty-six  made  scores  of  330  to  339,  of  whom 
three  were  Bucknell  students.  Of  the  62  students  ranking  highest 
among  these  133  colleges,  Bucknell  has  five.  Of  the  116  students 
who  stood  highest  in  the  entire  United  States,  Bucknell  has  eight."

Meet  your  Classmates  Alumni  Day

^'S&IVRCB.^ 


BUCKNELL  UNIVERSITY'S  annual  Commen- 
cement on  Monday,  June  13.  will  make  his- 
tory in  a  very  special  sense  this  year.  Not  only 
will  it  mark  the  graduation  of  the  university's 
eighty-eighth  class  of  seniors  but.  as  an  added  fea- 
ture, will  include  the  naming  and  dedication  of  the 
new  gymnasium,  where  the  exercises  are  to  be  held. 
We  know  that  you  will  want  to  have  a  part  in 
this  happy  time  and  that  you  will  make  an  extra 
effort  to  return  to  the  campus  for  the  occasion. 

Beginning  with  the  Trustee-Faculty  Dinner  on 
Friday  evening,  June  10,  a  full  program  has  been 
planned  for  Commencement  week-end,  with  the 
gymnasium  dedication  as  the  climax.  To  add  to 
the  excitement,  the  Trustees  have  decided  to  keep 
secret  the  name  selected  for  the  gym  until  the  dedi- 
catory ceremony  actually  takes  place. 

DR.  GRAVES  TO  SPEAK 

The  Commencement  speaker  this  year  will  be  Dr. 
Frank  Pierrepont  Graves,  President  of  the  Univer- 
sity of  the  State  of  New  York  and  Commissioner 
of  Education,  an  outstanding  figure  in  the  educa- 
tional world.  His  address  alone  will  make  it  worth 
your  while  to  attend  Commencement. 

Alumni    Day    will    be    celebrated    Saturday,    June 


12,  with  fifteen  classes  scheduled  to  hold  reunions. 
The  success  of  last  year's  general  alumni  luncheon 
in  the  college  dining  hall  has  resulted  in  the  planning 
of  a  similar  affair  for  this  year,  when  reunion 
classes  will  have  their  own  tables. 

Other  important  events  listed  for  Saturday  in- 
clude the  meeting  of  the  Board  of  Trustees,  the  busi- 
ness meetings  of  the  Alumni  and  Alumnae  Associa- 
tions, a  music  recital,  band  concert,  fraternity  sym- 
posia, and  the  annual  Commencement  play,  "Hay 
Fever"   by  Noel  Coward. 

President  Arnaud  C.  Marts  will  make  the  Bacca- 
laureate address  in  the  Methodist  Church,  Sunday 
morning  and  will  entertain  at  the  President's  annual 
reception  in  the  afternoon.  Joseph  Haydn's  "The- 
resian  Mass"  has  been  chosen  as  the  oratorio  for  Sun- 
day evening. 

The  Commencement  procession  Monday  morning 
will  form  on  the  Women's  Quadrangle  and  will 
then  proceed  to  the  new  gymnasium  for  Bucknell's 
first  indoor  Commencement  in  recent  years,  when 
approximately  210  students  will  be  awarded  dip- 
lomas. The  Corporation  dinner  in  the  college  dining 
hall  will  follow  the  exercises. 

All  in  all,  it  will  be  a  glorious  week-end  —  So 
Come  Back  for  Commencement. 


President  Arnaud  C.  Marts 


Dear  Bucknellians: 

This  is  your  Alma  Mater's  official  invita- 
tion and  my  warm  personal  urging  to  attend 
the  88th  Annual  Commencement  exercises  of 
Bucknell  to  be  held 


JUNE    11

13,    1938. 

A  complete  program  of  events  is  printed 
herewith.  An  added  feature  this  year  will  be 
the  dedication  of  the  new  Gymnasium. 

It  is  an  inspiration  to  all  of  us  here  at  Lewis- 
burg,  faculty  and  students  alike,  to  see  large 
numbers  of  Alumni  return  for  the  ceremonies 
and  reunions  that  mark  the  culmination  of  the 
academic  year. 

Come   back,   all   who  can! 
With  kind  regards, 

Yours  sincerely,

SUMMER  SCHOOL  is  in  full  swing 
as  we  write.  More  than  550  stu- 
dents, the  largest  number  in  the 
history  of  the  summer  session,  are  en- 
rolled for  the  six-weeks'  course.  Dr. 
Frank  G.  Davis  is  again  directing  the  ses- 
sion. Commencement  is  scheduled  for 
Friday.  August  5.  with  President  Marts 
as  the  speaker. 


AND  by  the  way,  that  title  "Presi- 
dent" Marts  sounds  pretty  fine, 
doesn't  it?  Acting  President  Marts 
finally  yielded  to  the  combined  pleas  of 
alumni,  students,  faculty  members,  and 
trustees,  and  agreed  to  accept  the  presi- 
dency on  April  7.  The  University  is 
being  widely  congratulated  on  its  good 
fortune  in  persuading  Mr.  Marts  to  be- 
come its  permanent  leader.  To  alumni 
everywhere  the  announcement  came  as  ex- 
tremely welcome  news,  and  brought  to 
our  President  renewed  pledges  of  support 
from   students,    faculty,   and   alumni   alike. 


THE  Alumni  Luncheon  is  here  to  stay! 
We  refer,  of  course,  to  the  annual 
luncheon  of  the  Alumnae  and  Alum- 
ni Associations  held  in  the  college  dining 
hall  on  the  Saturday  of  Commencement 
week-end.  Introduced  last  year  as  an  ex- 
periment, the  luncheon  this  year  attracted 
more  alumni  than  could  be  accommodated 
in  the  dining  hall. 


WE  are  delighted  to  learn  that  the 
University  has  a  9  7-year  old  alum- 
na living  at  Hampton,  West  Vir- 
ginia. She  is  Mrs.  Harriet  Mason  Stevens. 
who  was  graduated  from  the  Institute  in 
the  class  of  1858  when  she  was  17  years 
old.  President  Marts  sent  her  a  special 
invitation  to  come  back  for  Commence- 
ment, but  her  health  would  not  permit. 
Mrs.  Stevens  is.  without  doubt,  our  old- 
est living  graduate.  To  her  we  send  con- 
gratulations  and   our   best   wishes. 


IT  won't  be  long  now.  Homecoming 
has  been  set  for  Saturday,  November 
19,  and  it  isn't  a  bit  too  early  to  start 
making  plans.  George  Washington  Uni- 
versity will  send  its  football  team  here 
to  do  battle  with  Coach  Humphreys' 
Bisons  in  the  Stadium,  and  then  there'll 
be  the  Homecoming  dinner  and  dance 
after  the  game.  Save  the  date  for  your 
Alma   Mater. 


THE  campus  has  never  been  more  beau- 
tiful than  it  is  just  now.  The  many 
plantings  and  shrubs  set  out  in  the 
past  year  or  so  are  finally  coming  into 
their  own,  and  the  results  of  many  weeks 
of  landscaping  are  everywhere  beginning 
to  be  evident.  The  Quadrangle  in  par- 
ticular is  an  especially  attractive  place  just 
now,  and  returning  alumni  are  loud  in 
their  praise  of  its  beauty.  It's  our  favorite 
spot,  and  if  you'll  excuse  us,  we'll  go 
out  ourselves  to  take  another  look.

DEDICATE  MEN'S  GYMNASIUM 
IN  COMMENCEMENT  CEREMONY 

BUILDING  NAMED  FOR  JUDGE  J.  WARREN  DA  VIS 


FOR  its  88th  annual  Commence- 
ment on  Monday,  June  13,  the 
University  offered  a  double- 
feature  attraction  which  drew  an 
audience  of  nearly  3.000  persons, 
the  largest  crowd  ever  present  at 
Bucknell's   graduation  exercises. 

The  awarding  of  degrees  to  214 
men  and  women  and  the  naming 
and  dedication  of  the  men's  new 
gymnasium  in  honor  of  John  War- 
ren Davis,  Judge  of  the  United 
States  Circuit  Court  of  Appeals 
and  newly-elected  Chairman  of  the 
Bucknell  Board  of  Trustees,  were 
the  highlights  of  the  exercises, 
which  were  held  in  the  gymna- 
sium. 

Name  Kept  Secret 

The  gymnasium  dedication,  of 
course,  provided  the  climax  for  the 
entire  program,  since  the  name  of 
the  person  for  whom  the  building 
was  to  be  named  had  been  care- 
fully kept  secret,  so  that  even 
Judge  Davis  himself  was  not  aware 
that  he  was  the  alumnus  whom  his 
Alma  Mater  had  chosen  to  honor. 

Arnaud  C.  Marts,  Bucknell 
President,  Daniel  C.  Roberts.  Hon- 
orary Chairman  of  the  Board  of 
Trustees,  and  Dr.  Harvey  F. 
Smith.  Chairman  of  the  Trustee 
Committee  on  Athletics  and  Phys- 
ical Education,  participated  in  the 
dedicatory  ceremony. 

Gift  of  12  Men 

President  Marts,  after  outlining 
briefly  the  history  of  the  gymna- 
sium, which  is  the  gift  to  Bucknell 
of  12  men,  ten  of  whom  are  Trus- 
tees of  the  University,  explained 
that  it  had  been  the  original  desire 
of  the  Trustees  and  of  eleven  of 
the  donors  of  the  gymnasium  to 
name  it  for  the  Trustee  whose  gen- 
erous gifts  had  initiated  the  enter- 
prise and  had  carried  it  through 
a  time  of  crisis,  —  Mr.  Roberts, 
but  that  Mr.  Roberts  had  requested 
that  this  should  not  be  done,  as 
he  felt  one  building  named  for  him 
(the  Daniel  C.  Roberts  Hall)  was 
enough. 

President  Marts  explained  that 
he  and  Mr.  Roberts  then  wished  to 


name  the  gymnasium  for  the  man 
who  had  worked  hardest  to  make 
it  possible,  and  that  it  had  been 
agreed  to  honor  the  Chairman  of 
the  Gymnasium  Building  Com- 
mittee. Judge  J.  Warren  Davis. 
He  stated  that  he  and  Mr.  Roberts 
had  not  dared  consult  Judge  Davis 
for  fear  of  his  veto.  Taken  com- 
pletely by  surprise,  Judge  Davis 
vigorously  protested  the  choice, 
saying  that  he  did  not  deserve  such 
great  recognition,  but  his  protests 
were  of  no  avail  as  the  President 
continued  his  address.  Dr.  Marts 
told  briefly  of  the  noted  jurist's 
years  of  service  to  Bucknell,  first 
as  a  Trustee,  then  as  Vice-Chair- 
man of  the  Board,  and  more  re- 
cently as  Chairman  of  the  Board, 
a  post  to  which  he  had  been  elected 
two  days  before.  He  paid  high 
tribute  to  Judge  Davis,  declaring 
that:  "As  a  student,  alumnus,  and 
trustee  his  loyalty  has  been  always 
instant  and  complete.  Never  has 
he  withheld  a  single  ounce  of  en- 
ergy in  bis  service  to  his  Alma 
Mater." 

President  Marts  and  Mr.  Ro- 
berts then  unveiled  the  memorial 
plaque  which  bears  this  inscrip- 
tion: 


"THE    DAVIS    GYMNASIUM 

NAMED  IN  HONOR  OF 

HON.    JOHN  WARREN  DAVIS, 

LL.D..  JUD. 

CHAIRMAN  OF  THE  BOARD  OF 
TRUSTEES  OF  BUCKNELL  UNI- 
VERSITY 

JUDGE  OF  THE  U.  S.  CIRCUIT 
COURT  OF  APPEALS 

The  aspiring  youth  in  hum- 
ble circumstances,  dreaming  of 
the  future,  found  in  Bucknell 
the  opportunity  he  coveted. 

The  successful  man  in  high 
place,  youthful  dreams  fulfilled, 
remembered  his  Alma  Mater  in 
unwavering   service. 

This  budding  will  forever 
perpetuate  his  spirit  and  encour- 
age all  aspiring  youths  to  emu- 
late his  example." 

Dr.  Harvey  F.  Smith,  speaking 
on  behalf  of  the  Board  of  Trus- 
tees, expressed  appreciation  for 
Judge  Davis's  efforts  to  turn  into 
reality  the  long-hoped-for  dream 
of  a  new  gymnasium  for  men. 

Judge  Davis,  when  he  was  fi- 
nally allowed  to  speak,  minimized 
his  part  in  the  undertaking  and  re- 
ferred specifically  to  the  men  whose 


"You  can't  do  this  to  me" ,  says  Judge  Davis,  as  President  Marts  and 
Mr.  Roberts  enjoy  the  surprise  of  the  Chairman  of  the  Board  of  Trus- 
tees when  he  learns  that  the  gymnasium  has  been  named  for  him. 


The  John  Warren  Davis  Gymnasium, 
Dedicated  at  Commencement,  June 
13,  will  give  Bucknell  one  of  the 
finest    sports    centers   in    the   East. 


JULY,   1938 


President  Marts  and  Dr.  Graves 
looking  very  pleased  about  some- 
thing, get  in  line  for  the  procession. 

generous  gifts  had  made  the  build- 
ing possible.  To.  Dr.  Marts,  Mr. 
Roberts,  and  the  other  Trustees 
who  had  concurred  in  the  choice 
of  the  name,  he  offered  his  deepest 
gratitude. 

Dr.  Graves  Makes  Address 

Dr.  Frank  Pierrepont  Graves, 
President  of  the  University  of  the 
State  of  New  York  and  Commis- 
sioner of  Education,  made  the 
Commencement  address,  speaking 
on  the  subject,  "An  Aristocracy 
of  Service." 

He  warned  his  listeners  that 
"even  the  most  gifted  youth  has 
no  natural  right  to  the  advantages 
of  a  college  education"  unless  he 
is  willing  to  serve  society.  "Even 
more  important  than  ability  is  the 
desire  and  will  to  accomplish  some- 
thing worthwhile  for  humanity 
and  civilization,"  he  declared,  urg- 
ing the  development  of  "an  aris- 
tocracy of  service"  as  an  educa- 
tional step  of  greater  importance 
than  the  creation  of  "an  aristocracy 
of  brains." 

Social  Service  Important 
Since  the  talented  youth  "is  not 
in  the  least  responsible  for  his  own 
great  ability,  the  only  justification 
for  his  receiving  opportunities  of 
which  others  have  been  deprived  is 
that  of  a  larger  return  to  society," 
he  explained.  "Indeed,  the  more 
highly  endowed  a  student  is,  the 
more  sensitive  should  he  be  ren- 
dered to  social  service." 

"Bucknell  should,  therefore, 
strive  to  select  its  students  wisely 
and,  in  addition,  train  them  defi- 
nitely for  the  service  of  society." 
"Only  in  this  way,"  he  concluded, 
"can  the  University  maintain  the 
repute  that  it  has  honestly  won 
through  the  years  as  the  creator  of 
high-minded  and  effective  leaders 
in  all  fields  of  civilized  effort." 


After  his  address  Dr.  Graves  was 
awarded  the  honorary  degree  of 
Doctor  of  Laws.  Honorary  de- 
grees were  conferred  upon  five  oth- 
er noted  Americans.  Bachelor's  de- 
grees were  awarded  to  190  stu- 
dents, Master's  degrees  to  17,  and 
a  Professional  degree  to  one  alum- 
nus, making  a  total  of  214  degrees 
in  all. 

Bachelor's  Degrees  for  190 

Of  the  190  Bachelor's  degrees 
awarded  by  President  Marts,  108 
went  to  Bachelor  of  Arts  and  82 
to  Bachelors  of  Science.  The  latter

AWARDED  TO  SIX  MEN 


President  Marts  and  the  six  men  upon  whom  Bucknell  conferred  honorary  degrees  at  Commencement 
obligingly  posed  for  their  photo  just  after  the  ceremony  in  the  gymnasium.  They  are,  from  left  to

Daniel  C.  Roberts,  L.L.D.;  Frank  Pierrepont  Graves,  LL.D.;  and  Norman  E.  Henry,  Pd.D. 


BUCKNELL  conferred  honorary  degrees  upon  six 
distinguished  Americans,  including  two  of  her 
alumni,  at  the  Commencement  exercises  June  13. 

The  men  thus  honored  were:  Angelo  Di  Domeni-

adelphia; Frederick  B.  Igler,  pastor  for  Baptist  stu- 
dents at  the  University  of  Pennsylvania;  Norman  E. 
Henry,  Latin  scholar  and  Pittsburgh  educator;  Frank 
P.  Graves,  the  Commencement  speaker;  and  Daniel

degree  of  Doctor  of  Pedagogy  upon  Mr.  Henry,  the 
degree  of  Doctor  of  Civil  Laws  upon  President  Beury. 
and  the  degree  of  Doctor  of  Laws  upon  Dr.  Graves

Mr.  Henry  was  graduated  from  Bucknell  in  the 
class  of  1905  and  the  Rev.  Igler  in  the  class  of  1912. 

Dr.  Marts,  in  conferring  the  degrees,  made  the  fol- 
lowing citations: 

ANGELO  DI  DOMENICA 

You  have  found  your  life  work  in  a  land  far  re- 
moved from  home,  but  you  have  always  been  at  home 
here  in  your  work,  for  you  have  been  a  laborer  in  the 
Kingdom  of  God  on  earth,  which  knows  no  boun- 
daries of  race  or  tongue  or  nationality. 

You  have  rendered  valiant  service  in  a  difficult  field 
to  the  brotherhood  of  unselfish  men  under  the  Father- 
hood of  a  loving  God;  we  at  Bucknell  are  interested 


in  that  brotherhood  and  we  count  it  a  privilege  to 
recognize  and  applaud  your  service  to  it. 

FREDERICK   BENTLEY   IGLER 

Fortunate  is  the  man  who  finds  his  life  work  in  a 
new  field  of  great  need  which  challenges  his  creative 
capacities  and  fulfills  his  deepest  desires. 

You  have  found  such  a  field,  in  which  you  have 
been  one  of  the  creative  pioneers,  the  field  of  minis- 
tering to  the  spiritual  needs  of  young  people  at  a  great 
secular  university. 

As  the  pastor  to  thousands  of  young  university 
students,  you  have  helped  to  keep  religion  at  the  cen- 
ter of  their  personalities,  and  thus  you  have  served  to 
synthesize  their  knowledge  into  wisdom,  to  fuse  the 
many  divergent  facts  they  learn  into  a  pattern  for 
happy,  useful  living. 

Alma  Mater  is  proud  of  you  and  is  happy  to  give 
this  public  recognition  to  your  life  and  service. 

NORMAN  ELWOOD  HENRY 
To  you,  a  good  book  is  something  precious;  to  be 
acquired  whenever  possible;  to  be  read  and  treasured; 
and  to  be  made  available  to  others  who  long  to  learn, 
to  grow,  and  to  achieve. 

As  organizer  and  president  of  the  Friends  of  the 
Bucknell  Library,  you  have  brought  to  our  collection 
by  gift  thousands  of  useful  books.  We  have  watched 
you  handle  these  books  with  an  understanding,  al- 
most a  tenderness,  which  has  added  to  our  own  re- 
spect for  books  and  to  our  own  determination  to 
make  a  great  library  the  very  heart  of  Bucknell. 


JULY,  1938 


For  your  personal  achievements  in  your  educational 
career  and  for  your  service  to  the  intellectual  vitality 
of  your  Alma  Mater,  we  take  pride  in  honoring  you 
today.  To  my  own  words,  I  add  the  word  of  Miss 
Martin,  our  beloved  librarian  who  is  prevented  by 
illness  from  being  here. 

CHARLES  E.  BEURY 

There  were  those  who  feared  that  when  the 
founder  of  Temple  University  should  die,  the  vitality 
of  his  unique  dream  and  creation  might  languish. 
But  this  fear  ceased  when  it  became  known  that  you 
were  willing  to  devote  your  great  talents  to  youth. 
You  have  brought  new  vitality  to  this  great  sister  in- 
stitution. Within  a  few  short  years  you  have 
strengthened  its  foundations  and  extended  its  use- 
fulness to  a  degree  that  seems  little  short  of  miracu- 
lous. 

We  beg  leave  to  pay  our  sincere  tribute  today  to 
Temple  University,  and  to  you,  its  president,  who 
symbolizes  in  your  life  those  qualities  of  intellect, 
of  integrity,  of  high  idealism  and  of  the  rare  capacity 
to  bring  important  things  to  pass,  which  we  think 
of  as  the  ideal  to  be  striven  for  by  educated  men  and 
women. 

FRANK  PIERREPONT  GRAVES 

We  have  looked  forward  to  this  day  when  we 
might  pay  you  this  sincere  tribute  in  appreciation  of 
what  you  are  and  of  what  you  have  achieved  in  the 
field  of  education. 

We  are  especially  proud  to  honor  you  because  of 
the  high  standards  of  integrity  which  you  have  estab- 
lished and  maintained  in  your  public  service. 

You  have  occupied  a  high  public  office  in  our  great- 
est State  for  17  years,  and  in  all  this  time  you  have 
performed  your  duties  on  the  high  plane  with  irre- 
proachable integrity  and  objectivity,  and  have  proved 


that  public  education  can  be  administered  as  a  science 
and  as  a  public  trust. 

In  recognition  of  your  life  and  of  your  services 
and  in  gratitude  for  what  you  have  done  so  unsel- 
fishly for  Bucknell,  we  honor  ourselves  by  taking  you 
into  our  family. 

DANIEL  C.  ROBERTS 

It  has  been  a  long,  long  journey  from  that  store, 
in  Northern  New  York  state  where  you  worked  as  a 
lad  at  your  first  job  for  $2.00  a  week,  to  this  plat- 
form where  you  now  stand  as  the  beloved  and  re- 
spected Honorary  Chairman  of  the  Board  of  Trus- 
tees of  this  great  College. 

You  have  spanned  that  long  distance  in  your  life- 
time because  you  possess  the  rare  qualities  of  intelli- 
gence, of  sound  common-sense,  of  industry,  of  brave 
initiative,  of  integrity  of  character. 

Your  achievements  are  an  inspiration  to  all  youths 
of  our  day,  and  we  would  welcome  this  opportunity 
to  honor  you  singly  for  the  purpose  of  inspiring  and 
encouraging  them,  but  we  have  a  still  deeper  desire 
to  honor  you,  for  you  possess  another  quality  which 
is  ever  more  rare  and  precious  than  those  which  I  have 
mentioned.  You  have  been  able  to  survive  your  suc- 
cess. 

Prosperity  too  often  destroys  men.  It  softens  their 
characters  and  hardens  their  hearts.  They  too  often 
make  garish  display  of  their  good  fortune  and  adorn 
themselves  with  too  many  outward  evidences  of  their 
prosperity. 

In  your  great  success,  you  have  retained  your  sim- 
ple tastes,  you  have  remained  modest  in  your  atti- 
tudes. 

For  this  supreme  achievement  we  admire  and  honor 
you  and  are  proud  now  to  take  you  into  our  Bucknell 
family  as  a  son  of  the  Alma  Mater  for  which  you 
have  done  more  than  any  other  living  man,  more 
indeed  than  any  other  man  who  has  ever  lived. 


MANY  GRADS  BACK  FOR  ALUMNI  DAY 


Alumni  Day  at  Commencement 
this  year  saw  more  alumni  back  on 
the  campus  than  at  any  previous 
Commencement  reunion.  Many  of 
them,  more  than  350  in  fact,  reg- 
istered at  alumni  headquarters  in 
Roberts  Hall,  and  many  more  who 
did  not  register  attended  their  class 
reunions  and  spent  the  week-end 
in  renewing  old  friendships. 

The  Alumni  Luncheon  for  all 
graduates,  regardless  of  date  of 
graduation,  which  was  inaugurated 
last  year,  proved  an  attractive 
drawing  card.  More  alumni  than 
could  possibly  be  served,  and  the 
dining  room  accommodates  nearly 
400,  showed  up  for  the  affair.  In 
addition,  three  of  the  classes  held 
their  luncheons  downtown,  1898 
at  the  Lewisburg  Inn,  1903  at  the 
Lewisburg  Club,  and  1908  at  the 
Hotel  Lewisburger. 

Miss  Carrie  Foresman,  '16, 
President  of  the  General  Alumnae 


Association,  presided  at  the  lunch- 
eon. After  a  short  musical  pro- 
gram by  the  Men's  Glee  Club,  she 
presented  the  two  principal  speak- 
ers, Dr.  Arnaud  C.  Marts  and  Dr. 
Carl  L.  Millward,  '06,  President  of 
the  General  Alumni  Association. 
She  also  called  upon  several  other 
guests,  including  Dr.  Homer  P. 
Rainey,  Judge  J.  Warren  Davis, 
and  Dean  R.  H.  Rivenburg,  all  of 
whom  responded  briefly. 

1888  Wins  Recognition 

Of  especial  interest  were  the 
brief  comments  made  by  some  of 
the  older  returning  alumni  intro- 
duced by  Miss  Foresman,  who 
called  upon  a  representative  from 
all  of  the  reunion  classes  for  a  word 
of  greeting  from  the  class.  Special 
recognition  was  paid  to  the  class 
of  1888,  represented  at  the  lunch- 
eon by  all  of  its  seven  surviving 
members. 


Mrs.  Harriet  Mason  Stevens,  I- 
'58,  of  Hampton,  Va.,  one  of 
Bucknell's  oldest  living  alumni, 
had  been  invited  by  President 
Marts  to  return  as  a  guest  of  honor 
at  Commencement.  Mrs.  Stevens, 
who  is  97  years  old,  could  not  at- 
tend, but  she  sent  her  greetings  to 
the  alumni  in  the  form  of  a  letter, 
which  was  read  at  the  luncheon  by 
Mrs.  Elizabeth  Bates  Hoffman,  I- 
'94,  whose  mother  was  a  classmate 
of  Mrs.  Stevens. 

Mrs.  Stevens,  who  makes  her 
home  with  her  daughter  at  Hamp- 
ton, is  the  widow  of  a  missionary 
to  Burma.  Seven  years  after  grad- 
uation from  the  Institute  in  1858 
at  the  age  of  17,  she  married  the 
Rev.  Edward  Oliver  Stevens  and 
went  with  him  to  Burma,  where 
they  spent  the  next  48  years.  Upon 
his  death  she  returned  to  this  coun- 
try in  1911  and  took  up  her  resi- 
dence at  Hampton. 


The  BUCKNELL  ALUMNI  MONTHLY 


THE 
PRESIDENT'S 


Dear  Bucknellians: 

Another  Commencement  has  come  and  gone;  190  seniors  have  received  their  degrees  and 
have  gone  on  into  their  further  careers  with  the  excellent  preparation  which  Bucknell  gives  to 
her  sons  and  daughters.  It  is  interesting  to  observe  the  large  percentage  of  them,  40  per  cent, 
who  are  planning  to  take  graduate  work  in  varied  fields  in  many  universities. 

We  are  proud  of  these  190  graduates  and  our  affectionate  hope  for  them  and  faith  in 
them  goes  out  to  each  of  them  wherever  they  may  be. 

The  Commencement  exercises,  held  in  the  new  gymnasium  will  be  long  remembered  by 
all  who  were  present.  There  were  many  events  of  interest  throughout  the  program:  —  there 
were  two  special  thrills  —  when  the  audience  arose  spontaneously  and  enthusiastically  to 
greet  Dr.  Daniel  C.  Roberts,  Honorary  Chairman  of  the  Board  of  Trustees  and  great  friend 
of  Bucknell,  when  the  honorary  degree  of  Doctor  of  Laws  was  conferred  upon  him;  and  when 
the  new  gymnasium  was  named  in  honor  of  Judge  John  Warren  Davis,  Chairman  of  the  Board 

of  Trustees,  loyal  and  hard-working  alumnus. 

Now  that  the  magnificent  Davis  Gym- 
nasium is  ready  for  the  use  of  our  men  stu- 
dents, we  are  renovating  and  remodeling  the 
Tustin  Gymnasium  and  Loomis  Field  for 
our  women  students,  so  our  physical  educa- 
tion program  may  be  strengthened  equally 
for  men  and  women  in  the  coming  year. 

Our  architect  is  now  consulting  actively 
with  our  Engineering  Faculty  and  others  in 
completing  the  design  and  specifications  for 
our  next  building  project,  which  will  be  the 
completion  of  our  Engineering  Building,  the 
first  wing  of  which  was  built  in  1922.     We 

hope  additional  funds  may  become  available  soon  so  that  construction  on  this  building  may  be 

started  in  the  near  future. 

Our  hearts  have  been  saddened  in  recent  months  by  the  loss  of  several  beloved  Bucknell- 
jans>  —  Mrs.  John  Howard  Harris,  President-Emeritus  Emory  W.  Hunt.  Dr.  Mary  Bartol 
Theiss,  Miss  Eliza  Martin,  and  several  alumni  known  to  all  older  Bucknellians.  We,  who 
remain,  feel  the  added  responsibility  for  maintaining  the  Bucknell  tradition  that  now  comes 
more  pointedly  upon  us  as  these  beloved  ones  are  removed  from  their  places  in  the  human 
chain  that  links  the  Bucknell  of  today  with  past  history  and  memory. 

Our  93rd  college  year  will  open  on  September  21st  and  it  appears  that  we  shall  have  an 
entering  freshman  class  of  choice  young  men  and  women  with  high  qualities  of  mind,  person- 
ality and  character.  Never  have  there  been  as  many  applications  for  admission  to  Bucknell 
at  this  date  in  July  as  there  are  this  year.  You  alumni,  who  are  constantly  telling  young  peo- 
ple and  their  parents  about  Bucknell,  are  responsible  in  no  small  degree  for  this  wide-spread 
desire  to  come  to  Bucknell,  and  we  are  grateful  to  you. 

The  faculty  and  administration  and  present  students  at  Bucknell  are  resolved  that  these 
new  students,  who  are  coming  to  Bucknell  with  high  hopes  and  expectations,  shall  find  here 
the  utmost   incentive  and  help  and   inspiration  to  grow,  to  achieve,  and  to  serve. 

With  kind  regards, 

Yours  sincerely,

FULL  PROGRAM  FEATURES 
COMMENCEMENT  WEEK-END 


THE  University's  88th  Com- 
mencement season  provided 
Bucknell  with  its  busiest 
week-end  of  the  year,  beginning 
with  the  annual  Trustee-Faculty 
dinner,  Friday  evening,  and  clos- 
ing as  usual  with  the  Corporation 
dinner  after  Commencement. 

This  year  the  Trustee-Faculty 
dinner  was  limited  to  the  Trus- 
tees and  to  one  faculty  member 
representing  each  department. 

Musical  events  played  an  im- 
portant part  in  the  three-day  pro- 
gram. They  included  a  student 
recital  and  an  open  air  concert  by 
the  Band  Saturday  afternoon,  a 
sacred  concert  by  the  Mixed  Chorus 
and  the  Men's  Glee  Club  Sunday 
afternoon,  and  the  traditional  ora- 
torio Sunday  evening.  This  year 
the  oratorio  was  Joseph  Haydn's 
"Theresian  Mass." 

Other  important  events  were  the 
annual  Commencement  play,  Noel 
Coward's  "Hay  Fever,"  given  Sat- 
urday evening,  and  the  President's 
reception  for  seniors  and  alumni  on 
Sunday   afternoon. 

President  Arnaud  C.  Marts  pre- 
sided at  the  Corporation  dinner, 
presenting  as  the  guests  of  honor 
the  six  men  who  had  just  been  a- 
warded  honorary  degrees,  and  call- 
ing upon  each  one  for  a  brief  talk. 
He  also  called  upon  Judge  J.  War- 
ren Davis,  Judge  Joseph  H.  Buf- 
fington  of  the  United  States  Cir- 
cuit Court  of  Appeals  at  Philadel- 
phia, and  upon  Attorney  James 
Harris  of  Scranton,  son  of  the  late 
John  Howard  Harris.,  former 
Bucknell  President. 

BOARD  OF  TRUSTEES 
ELECTS  DAVIS  CHAIRMAN 

Judge  J.  Warren  Davis  was 
elected  chairman  of  the  Board  of 
Trustees  of  Bucknell  University 
at  the  semi-annual  business  meet- 
ing of  that  body  held  in  the  Pres- 
ident's house  on  the  campus  Sat- 
urday morning,  June   11. 

Daniel  C.  Roberts  of  Wilkes- 
Barre  was  again  named  as  honorary 
chairman  and  Oliver  Decker  of 
Williamsport  and  Dayton  L. 
Ranck  of  Lewisburg  were  re- 
elected secretary  and  treasurer  re- 
spectively. 


NEW  TRUSTEE 


Michael  L.  Benedum,  President  of 
the  Benedum  Trees  Company, 
Pittsburgh,  who  was  elected  a 
Trustee  of  the  University. 

One  new  member  was  added  to 
the  Board.  He  is  Michael  L.  Bene- 
dum of  Pittsburgh,  president  of 
the  Benedum  Trees  Company. 
Three  trustees  were  re-elected  for 
five-year  terms.  They  are:  Judge 
Thomas  J.  Baldrige,  Hollidays- 
burg;  Joseph  W.  Henderson,  Phil- 
adelphia; and  Andrew  J.  Sordoni. 
Kingston. 


Most  important  action  taken  by 
the  Board  was  that  authorizing 
President  Marts  to  let  the  contracts 
for  the  remodeling  of  Tustin  Gym- 
nasium and  for  the  completion  of 
the  engineering  building,  as  soon 
as  the  necessary  funds  become 
available. 

DR.  MARTS  PREACHES 
BACCALAUREATE  SERMON 

Because  the  "turning  wheel"  of 
events  is  fairly  certain  to  bring  an 
eventual  change  for  the  better  in 
American  life,  college  graduates 
should  not  be  disheartened  by  the 
present-day  "mass  mood  of  deep 
pessimism  and  cynical  gloom,"  de- 
clared President  Arnaud  C.  Marts 
in  his  baccalaureate  sermon  to 
Bucknell  seniors. 

Speaking  in  the  Methodist 
Church,  where  the  exercises  were 
held  this  year,  Dr.  Marts  predicted 
the  return  of  fairly  normal  eco- 
nomic life  and  the  eventual  resto- 
ration of  peace  among  nations.  He 
assured  the  seniors  that  even  if 
stability  and  normal  life  fail  to 
return,  the  educated  man  or  wo- 
man will  find  the  supreme  value 
of  his  training,  "for  he  is  privileged 
to  store  up  a  wealth  of  inner  treas- 
ures on  which  he  may  nourish  his 
mind  and  spirit  when  the  outer 
world  turns  utterly  stale  and  dis- 
appointing." 


MEN'S  GYMNASIUM 


The  Davis  Memorial  Gymnasium,  when  completed,  will  be  a  group  of  several 
units.  The  gvmnasium  proper,  dedicated  at  Commencement,  constitutes  Unit  "A". 
It  contains  a  gymnasium  floor  140  feet  long  and  85  feet  wide.  On  the  sides  are 
balconies  containing  1600  permanent  seats.  Temporary  seats  for  over  2000  more 
can  be  placed  on  the  floor  when  the  gymnasium  is  used  for  an  auditorium.  Unit 
"A"  cost  about  $200,000. 

Unit  "B"  will  stand  in  front  of  Unit  "A"  and  will  contain  offices  for  the 
Physical  Education  staff,  class  rooms,  and  individual  corrective  exercise  gymna- 
sium, and  rooms  for  wrestling  and  boxing  instruction.  The  basement  of  Unit 
"B"    is   completed   and   contains   the   heating   plant   for   the   whole   structure.      Unit 

will  cost  about  $50,000. 

Unit  "C"  will  be  a  swimming  pool,  under  its  own  roof,  connecting  with  Unit 

and  standing  just  to  the  North  of  it.     This  will  cost  about  $100,000. 

Unit   "D"   will  be  a  balancing  wing  standing  to  the  South  of  Unit  "A"   and 

contain  hand-ball  courts,  squash  courts,  bowling  alleys,  and  other  sports. 
It  will  cost  about  $50,000. 

Unit  "E"  will  be  a  small  field  house,  a  forty-foot  extension  to  the  rear  of 
Unit  "A",  with  dirt  floor,  for  the  indoor  practice  of  outdoor  sports.  It  will  cost 
about  $30,000. 

There  are  no  present  plans  for  constructing  Units  "B".  "C".  "D",  and 
"E".     They  will  be  built  in  the  future  as  funds  are  given  for  that  purpose.

CLASS  REUNIONS 
IN  INFORMAL  REVIEW 

SILVER  ANNIVERSARY  FOR  13 

By   CHARLES  A.   FRYLING,   Reunion  Chairman 


Twenty-five  members  of  the 
Class  of  1913  with  their  families 
returned  to  the  remodeled  halls  of 
their  Alma  Mater  for  their  twenty- 
fifth  anniversary.  Class  headquar- 
ters were  established  in  the  music 
room  on  the  second  floor'  of  Ro- 
berts Hall.  All  morning  members 
and  their  families  kept  arriving 
from  far  and  near.  At  noon  an  in- 
formal reception  was  held  at  the 
Lewisburg  Club. 

Promptly  at  one  o'clock  mem- 
bers and  their  guests,  75  in  all, 
sat  down  to  lunch.  The  luncheon 
program  was  in  charge  of  general 
chairman  Charles  A.  Fryling.  Mu- 
sic was  presented  by  the  Irey  Trio 
of  Danville.  The  class  joined  in 
old  Bucknell  songs  lead  by  Jane 
Irey  Rees.  Instrumental  selections 
were  given  by  Glenn  Fryling  and 
David  Rees.  Letters  and  telegrams 
of  regret  from  absent  members  of 
the  class  were  read.  The  Rev. 
George  Haines  of  Wyoming  con- 
ducted a  short  memorial  service  for 
fourteen  deceased  members.    In  the 


absence  of  President  Middleton, 
who  was  detained  by  two  wed- 
dings. Leslie  Stout  acted  as  toast- 
master.  Informal  talks  were  made 
by  various  members  of  the  class 
including  the  Rev.  Richard  Bow- 
ling of  Norfolk,  Valedictorian  of 
the  class;  O.  V.  W.  Hawkins  of 
New  York  City;  Jane  Irey  Rees  of 
Danville,  and  Howard  Fisher  of 
Reading. 

MARTS  COMMENDS  CLASS 
The  outstanding  feature  of  the 
program  was  the  address  of  Presi- 
dent Marts  commending  the  Buck- 
nell alumni  in  general  for  their  re- 
newed interest  in  Bucknell  and 
their  hearty  cooperation  with  the 
Trustees  and  Faculty.  He  also 
commented  on  the  unique  distinc- 
tion of  the  class  of  1913  having 
three  of  its  members:  E.  M.  Rich- 
ards, Robert  Rooke  and  Berkeley 
Hastings  on  the  Bucknell  Board  of 
Trustees. 

Howard  Fisher  of  Reading  was 
elected  President  and  Baker  Barn- 
hardt,     of    Lewisburg,     Secretary- 


Treasurer-Reporter  to  prepare  for 
the  thirtieth  reunion,  five  years 
hence.  Following  the  luncheon, 
the  class  retired  to  Loomis  Field 
where  class  pictures  were  taken.

In  the  evening  the  members  of 
the  class  were  guests  of  the  Uni-

X)8  STARTS  FELLOWSHIP  FUND 


Thirty-nine  men  and  women 
met  at  the  Hotel  Lewisburger  for 
the  fortieth  reunion  of  the  class  of 
1908.  Of  this  number,  26  were 
graduates  and  the  others  were 
guests  of  their  husbands  or  wives. 
A  roll  call  of  the  entire  class  list 
was  a  feature  of  the  occasion,  with 
each    alumnus    contributing    some 


piece  of  information  about  him- 
self and  also  about  those  graduates 
who  could  not  be  present. 

The  class  voted  to  establish  a 
fund,  to  be  known  as  the  Fellow- 
ship Fund  of  1908,  to  aid  their 
less  fortunate  classmates.  Money 
for  this  purpose  was  contributed 
by  many  of  those  who  were  pres- 


ent and  the  fund  is  now  an  estab- 
lished fact. 

Since  this  class  had  its  last  re- 
union five  years  ago,  nine  of  its 
members  have  passed  on. 

During  the  business  meeting  the 
Rev.  Winfield  Scott  Booth  was 
elected  president  and  Dr.  Paul  G. 
Stolz  was  elected  secretary  and 
treasurer. 


'03  CELEBRATES  ITS  THIRTY-FIFTH 


By  W.   K.  RHODES,    Reunion  Chairman 


The  Class  of  1903  assembled  in 
the  Dining  Hall  of  the  Women's 
College  for  the  celebration  of  the 
thirty-fifth  anniversary  of  its 
graduation.  The  following  mem- 
bers of  the  class  with  their  guests 
were  in  attendance: 

Mr.  and  Mrs.  E.  L.  Taylor, 
Mrs.  Elva  Coleman  Herpel  and 
son,  Mr.  Merle  M.  Edwards,  Miss

Mrs.  Charles  H.  Brown  and  son, 
Dr.  Charles  A.  Lehman,  Mrs.  Eva 
Ginter  Filmore,  Mrs.  F.  E.  Burpee. 

The  class  members  of  the  im- 
mediate vicinity  were  greatly  de- 
lighted on  this  occasion  to  see  such 


a  goodly  number  of  their  class- 
mates present.  At  the  call  of  the 
presiding  officer  of  the  joint  meet- 
ing of  the  General  Association  of 
Alumni  and  Alumnae  immediate- 
ly following  the  luncheon,  W.  K. 
Rhodes  responded  very  briefly  in 
behalf  of  the  loyalty  and  devo- 
tion of  his  classmates  to  their  Alma 
Mater.

burg. 

ROY  MULKIE   TALKS 

Between  courses  our  President, 
Roy  Mulkie,  made  a  brief  address, 
following  which  an  article  from 
the  March,  '38  Alumni  Monthly 
was  read  about  one  of  our  class, 
Frank  Alfred  Golder  pronounced 
by  Mrs.  Theiss  "perhaps  the  most 
interesting  among  all  our  alumni," 
also  letters  from  Morris  C.  Van- 
Gundy  of  Houston,  Texas  and 
from  J.  T.  Anderson,  of  Balti- 
more. 

Just  finishing  dessert  we  were 
interrupted  by  the  official  photo- 
grapher and  from  the  accompany- 
see  what  the  years  have  done  to  us. 
(That  is  Charley  Koch  with  the 


ing  picture  all  absent  '98ers  can 
beard.  He  had  to  introduce  him- 
self to  us!  Who  would'  have 
thought  that  a  VanDyke  would 
prove  so  effectual  a  disguise!  Dis- 
tinguished in  appearance,  isn't  he? J 
THE  YEARS  REVIEWED 
After  the  photographer  had 
done  his  best  for  us,  we  returned 
to  thq  dining  room  and  had  our 
real  reunion.  Our  presiding  officer, 
Roy  Mulkie,  prompted  by  the  rest 
of  us,  rose  and  told  what  he  had 
been  doing  since  leaving  Bucknell, 
and  was  followed  in  turn  by  each 
class  brother  or  sister  as  he  called 
upon  them  round  the  table.  Each, 
sure  that  his  hearers  were  really  in- 
terested, responded,  giving  a  brief 
account  of  his  interests,  work,  and 
whereabout  since  '98. 

And  was  it  interesting?  To  us 
it  was  more  so  than  a  best  seller 
and  at  the  close  we'd  had  a  real 
reunion,  not  whoopee  or  hurrah 
for  '98,  but  what  have  I  done  and 
what  has  life  done  to  me  since  '98. 
We  found  it  thrilling,  and  felt  it 
was  the  best  class  reunion  we'd 
ever  attended. 

DOWN  MEMORY  LANE 
After  each  class  member  had 
spoken,  different  ones  of  those  who 
had  passed  on  were  mentioned  and 
talked  about  by  someone  who 
knew  —  Charlie  Clement  telling 
us  of  Dave  Elliott,  Charlie  Koch 
about  J    P.  Stober.    Reunion  a  sad 


time?  No,  it  was  wonderful,  but 
just  like  life,  sad  in  spots.  Of 
course,  living  absentees  were  dis- 
cussed as  well.  In  the  quiet  breezy 
coolness  of  that  long  dining  room 
our  minds  harked  back  to  an  event- 
ful day  in  '98  and  we  bridged  the 
years  with  almost  the  same  feeling 
"Can  this  be  truly  I?" 

Then  Mr.  Mulkie  called  upon 
Professor  Drum,  who  was  present, 
for  a  word  from  the  College,  and 
received  an  enthusiastic  report  of 
the  progress  at  Bucknell. 

To  the  absent  members  of  '98 
we  send  our  greetings  and  hope 
you  may  all  be  present  for  our 
50th.

The  Association  recommended 
that  Judge  Thomas  B.  Balridge, 
whose  term  as  Alumni  Trustee  ex- 
pired in  June,  be  re-elected  for  an- 
other five-year  term. 

The  Acting  Secretary  made  a 
report  of  the  work  of  the 
Alumni  Office  and  the  clubs  vis- 
ited during  the  past  year.  The 
Alumni  Clubs  visited  included: 
Allentown,  Harrisburg,  Philadel- 
phia, Pittsburgh,  New  York  City, 
Williamsport,  Baltimore,  South- 
ern New  Jersey,  Trenton,  Elmira, 
Washington,  D.  C,  Northern  New 
Jersey,  and  the  New  England 
Alumni  Club  at  Boston,  Mass. 

Treasurer  Dayton  L.  Ranck 
stated  that  he  had  no  financial  re- 
port to  make  inasmuch  as  the 
Alumni  Association  has  no  activity 
for  raising  funds  and  that  since 
no  dues  are  paid  by  the  members 
of  the  Association,  the  Alumni 
Office  has  been  financed  entirely  by 
the  budget  of  the  University,  and, 
therefore,  no  funds  are  handled  by 
the  Association.  Mr.  Ranck  also 
made  a  report  on  the  status  of  the 
Alumni  Loyalty  Trust  Funds, 
showing  a  fund  of  $10,213.40, 
from  which  loans  have  been  made 
to  students  totalling  $7,794.83, 
leaving  a  balance,  after  deducting 
expenses,  of  $2,389.74. 

The  following  Alumni  Clubs 
made  reports  of  their  activities: 


Williamsport  —  reported  by  G. 

Grant  Painter,  '1  7. 
Wilkes-Barre    —    reported     by

IX&tnlct  Qub& 


N.  Y.,  N.  J.  Alumni  Plan 

To  Start  Scholarships 

THE  Bucknell  Alumni  Associa- 
tions for  New  York  City  and 
Northern  New  Jersey  have 
once  more  demonstrated  their 
capacity  for  originating  and  carry- 
ing out  constructive  projects  to  aid 
their  Alma  Mater  by  undertaking 
to  establish  one  or  more  competi- 
tive scholarships  for  prospective 
students  in  the  areas  served  by 
these  two  organizations. 

Announcement  of  the  proposal 
was  contained  in  a  letter  mailed 
this  month  to  the  more  than  900 
alumni  residing  in  the  metropoli- 
tan area,  inviting  them  to  express 
their  views  on  the  plan  which  has 
been  developed  by  the  New  York 
Association.  A  folder  giving  full 
details  on  the  undertaking  set  forth 
by  the  club's  scholarship  commit- 
tee, headed  by  Edward  C.  Kunkle, 
'97,   was  enclosed  with  the  letter. 

Reasons  for  selection  of  this  pro- 
ject, as  outlined  by  the  committee, 
are: 

"Because  of  a  desire  to  increase 
the  number  of  Bucknell  scholar- 
ships for  undergraduates.  Alto- 
gether too  few  such  scholarships 
are  now  available.  Many  more 
are  needed  to  enable  girls  and  boys 
of  outstanding  promise,  but  with- 
out adequate  financial  resources,  to 
go  to  college  —  and  to  Bucknell 
in  particular. 

"To  give  opportunity  for  Buck- 
nellians  in  the  area  of  the  two  as- 
sociations to  give  effective  help  to 
their  Alma  Mater  at  the  point  of 
greatest  significance  in  helping 
Bucknell  to  practice  selectivity  on 
a  wider  scale  in  admitting  pros- 
pective undergraduates  to  the  Uni- 
versity." 

The  committee  hopes  to  begin 
with  the  establishment  with  one 
$300  scholarship  and  to  increase 
the  number  until  one  scholarship 
can  be  awarded  in  each  class,  the 
award  to  be  made  on  a  competitive 
basis  in  line  with  University  stand- 
ards. 

The  special  committee  appoint- 
ed by  the  New  York  Association 
to  foster  the  undertaking  includes, 
in  addition  to  Mr.  Kunkle,  the 
following  members:  Walter  J. 
Bower,  '18,  William  Gerken,  '33, 
Harland  A.  Trax,  '01,  Campbell 


Rutledge,  '33,  and  Paul  Schreiber, 
'12.  The  very  active  and  capable 
president  of  the  New  York  club 
is  Edgar  A.  Snyder,  '11, 

HARRISBURG 

Bucknell  Alumni  of  Harris- 
burg  have  enjoyed  two  very  in- 
teresting meetings  during  the 
past  months.  On  April  '.'  the 
guest  speaker  was  Coach  Hum- 
phreys who  brought  us  first  hand 
information  about  the  joy  that 
was  expressed  by  students  and  fac- 
ulty alike  when  the  news  of  Dr. 
Marts'  acceptance  of  the  presidency 
was  announced  in  chapel  that 
morning.  He  also  spoke,  of  course, 
of  Bucknell's  football  team  —  its 
prospects  for  the  coming  year  and 
the  possibilities  for  a  successful 
season  with  a  revised  schedule.  He 
related  many  interesting  stories  of 
incidents  which  occurred  during 
the  past  season  and  showed  and 
commented  upon  pictures  of  the 
Bucknell-Furman  game  which  was 
played   in   Greenville  last   fall. 

A  special  treat  at  the  meeting 
on  May  5  was  the  presence  of 
President  Arnaud  C.  Marts  and 
the  talk  which  he  made  concerning 
conditions  at  Bucknell.  He  was 
introduced  by  Dr.  Harvey  Smith, 
'94,  a  member  of  the  Board  of 
Trustees,  who  expressed  the  feel- 
ings of  the  club  as  well  as  his  own 
when  he  said  that  Bucknell  was 
indeed  fortunate  in  having  a  man 
of  the  calibre  of  Dr.  Marts  at  its 
head. 

President  Marts  spoke  of  the 
fine  progress  which  is  being  made 
with  the  building  program  at 
school  and  expressed  his  gratifica- 
tion at  the  receipt  of  an  additional 
gift  of  $100,000  which  enabled 
the  Trustees  to  build  the  gymna- 
sium in  such  a  fashion  that  it  will 
be  the  finest  in  the  state.  He  an- 
nounced that  $25,000  would  be 
spent  remodelling  Tustin  Gymna- 
sium for  the  use  of  the  women 
students,  and  the  Engineering 
Building  will  soon  be  enlarged. 
Dr.  Marts  mentioned  other  phases 
of  progress  at  Bucknell  and  urged 
all  alumni  to  be  present  at  the 
Commencement  exercises  which 
will  be  held  in  the  new  gymna- 
sium on  June  1  3th. 


Before  closing  the  meeting, 
President  Allen  Jones,  '25,  called 
upon  Mr.  Jacob  K.  Bowman, 
'11,  Mr.  Harvey  Bogar,  '01,  and 
Mr.  Joseph  Nissley,  '31,  to  make 
remarks  upon  some  phase  of  in- 
terest to  Bucknell  alumni  and 
friends. 

Janet  Blair  Bogar,  '33, 

Secretary. 

PITTSBURGH 

The  Western  Pennsylvania 
Alumni  Association  held  its  an- 
nual dinner  dance  Friday  eve- 
ning, March  11,  at  Penn  Lincoln 
Hotel,  Wilkinsburg.  One  hundred 
and  ten  Bucknellians  and  their 
guests  sat  down  to  dinner,  after 
which  our  Alumni  President, 
George  Henggi,  '26  introduced  the 
Toastmaster  for  the  evening,  John 
T.  Shirley,  '09.  Mr.  Shirley  had 
some  very  interesting  stories  to  tell, 
after  which  Clarence  Peters,  '15, 
presented  the  Western  Pennsylva- 
nia Football  Trophy  to  Captain 
James  Curran  of  Scott  High 
School  Football  Team,  winners  of 
1937  Class  AA  WPIAL  cham- 
pionship. Principal  Kirschner  and 
Coach  Snyder  of  Scott  High  School 
made  some  remarks. 

Our  Toastmaster  then  intro- 
duced the  honor  guest,  Dr.  Marts, 
who  gave  us  a  very  enlightening 
talk  on  the  activities  at  Bucknell 
and  the  progress  being  made  on 
the  building  program. 

After  Dr.  Marts'  talk  the  chair- 
man of  the  party,  George  Jones, 
'23,  had  Mr.  Lybarger,  '28  show 
motion  pictures  of  Bucknell,  and 
then  took  charge  of  the  dancing. 

The  party  broke  up  at  1:30  and 
all  reported  having  had  a  good 
time. 

S.  J.  Leezer,  '31, 
Secretary  and  Treasurer.

The  BUCKNELL  ALUMNI  MONTHLY 


Bison  Athletes  Make  Fine  Record 

With  37  Victories  in  7  Sports 


By  ROBERT  E.  STREETER.  '38 


.  -m .... 


H^rl>:^u  - 


Members  of  the  varsity  tennis  team  who  completed  an  undefeated  season, 
winning  1  1  straight  games,  are  shown  above.  They  are  ( left  to  right )  : 
Carroll  C.  Nesbit,  Ward  Gage.  Charles  V.  Dunham,  Manager;  Captain 
Samuel  M.  Nesbit,  Emmett  Steele,  George  R.  McCall,  and  George 
Campo. 


Making  their  finest  showing  in 
recent  years,  Bucknell's  varsity  ath- 
letes compiled  a  won-lost  percen- 
tage of  .627  during  the  academic 
year  which  ended  with  Commence- 
ment. 

The  Bisons,  competing  in  seven 
sports,  won  3  7  games  during  the 
year  against  22  defeats  and  three 
ties.  Boxing  was  the  only  sport 
with  a  won-lost  record  on  the 
wrong  side  of  the  ledger,  the 
Bison  mittmen  winning  only  two 
out  of  six  engagements. 

A  revival  of  the  winning  habit 
in  the  spring  sports  was  the  high- 
light of  the  year's  campaigning. 
Ordinarily,  Bison  teams  make 
their  best  records  in  the  fall  and 
winter  sports.  This  year,  the  sit- 
uation was  reversed,  as  the  tennis, 
baseball,  and  track  teams  contri- 
buted 20  of  the  37  victories. 

The  tennis  team  was  the  out- 
standing Bison  athletic  array  dur- 
ing the  year.  Coach  Floyd  Ballen- 
tine's  netters  won  1 1  straight 
matches  without  being  extended, 
ending  their  season  undefeated. 

The  second  longest  winning 
streak  during  the  year  was  a  seven- 
game  string  assembled  by  the  base- 


ball team  before  it  dropped  the 
finale  to  Penn  State,  9-0. 

Season's  records  for  Bucknell's 
seven  varsity  sports  are: 

Football:  won,  3;  lost,  3:  tied 
2. 

Soccer:  won,  4;  lost,  3:  tied,   1. 

Basketball:  won,  8:  lost,  6. 

Boxing:  won,   2;  lost,  4. 

Track:   won,  2:  lost,  2. 

Tennis:  won.    1  1  :   lost,  0. 

Baseball:   won,   7;   lost,  4. 


Summer  Session  Enrollment 
Largest  in  School  History 

The  annual  summer  session 
opened  on  Monday,  June  27,  with 
the  largest  enrollment  in  the  his- 
tory of  summer  courses  at  Buck- 
nell, 550  students  having  regis- 
tered for  the  six-weeks'  course.  Dr. 
Frank  G.  Davis,  who  is  directing 
the  session,  heads  a  faculty  of  48 
teachers  who  make  up  the  staff. 

Bucknell  is  conducting  two 
Demonstration  Schools  this  sum- 
mer for  student  teachers,  one  at 
Lewisburg  and  the  other  at  Mil- 
ton, with  more  than  500  boys  and 
girls  of  grade  school  age  enrolled. 
Sixty-five    student    teachers    from 


22   colleges   are   taking   the   course 
in  practice  teaching  this  year. 

Special  events  planned  for  the 
session  include  the  Second  Annual 
Institute  on  International  Affairs 
on  July  13  and  14,  a  conference 
on  leisure  time  activities  on  July 
27  and  28,  and  a  School  of  Parent 
Education  from  July   18  to  22. 


DISTRICT  CLUBS 

(Continued  from  Page  13) 

After  the  election  Judge  J. 
Warren  Davis  spoke  upon  the  pro- 
gress of  the  University,  particularly 
in  regard  to  the  financial  strides 
that  are  being  made  in  the  raising 
of  funds  for  new  dormitories,  a 
gymnasium  and  scientific  build- 
ings. Judge  Davis  is  probably  the 
most  widely  known  Bucknell 
alumnus  in  this  territory  and  is 
devoting  a  great  deal  of  his  time 
to  furthering  the  interests  of  the 
University.  He  pointed  out  that 
clubmen  should  submit  names  of 
prospective  students  to  the  Regis- 
trar of  the  University  for  contact 
purposes. 

The  outgoing  president  is  Wil- 
liam Irvin.  '22.

problems  lies  in  a  reversion  to  the 
humanitarian  philosophy  of  edu- 
cation —  moulding  of  the  whole 
man.  personality,  character,  con- 
duct and  spirit  as  well  as  intellect.

FROM  THE  FACULTY  FRONT 


Prof.  C.  A.  Lindeman  Retires 
Taught  Here  36  Years 

Professor  Charles  A.  Linde- 
mann,  '98,  more  familiarly  known 
to  thousands  of  Bucknellians  as 
"Lindy,"  has  been  forced  by  ill 
health  to  give  up  his  post  as  pro- 
fessor of  pure  mathematics  and 
has  retired  from  the  Bucknell  fac- 
ulty after  36  years  of  service  to 
his  Alma  Mater.  Professor  Linde- 
mann's  retirement  was  regretfully 
announced  by  President  Marts  in 
June. 

Known  to  Bucknellians  every- 
where through  his  long  connection 
with  the  University,  both  as  a  stu- 
dent and  as  a  teacher,  Dr.  Linde- 
mann  completed  this  year  a  teach- 
ing career  extending  over  a  period 
of  39  years.  He  was  graduated 
from  Bucknell  in  the  class  of  1898 
and  received  his  Master's  degree 
here  in  the  following  year.  After 
several  years  of  teaching,  he  joined 
the  Bucknell  faculty  in  1902  as 
instructor  in  mathematics.  In  1905 
he  was  made  assistant  professor  of 
mathematics  and  in  1907  professor 
of  pure  mathematics.  John  B. 
Stetson  University  paid  tribute  to 
his  ability  by  awarding  him  the 
honorary  degree  of  Doctor  of  Sci- 
ence. 

Held  Important  Post 

During  his  long  association  with 
Bucknell,  Professor  Lindemann 
has  held  numerous  important  of- 
fices. He  was  one  of  the  pioneers 
and  creators  of  the  Engineering 
School  and  chairman  of  the  com- 
mittee that  built  the  North  playing 
fields  and  did  the  preliminary  work 
on  the  stadium.  He  also  served 
for  a  number  of  years  as  secretary 
of  the  faculty. 

President  Marts,  in  commenting 
on  Professor  Lindemann's  retire- 
ment, expressed  deep  regret  that 
the  latter's  health  during  the  past 
three  years  had  been  such  that  Pro- 
fessor Lindemann  concluded  that 
he  should  retire  rather  than  com- 
plete the  40-year  teaching  pro- 
gram that  he  had  anticipated  for 
his  life  career. 

"He  has  been  one  of  the  great 
teachers  in  Bucknell  history,"  said 
Mr.  Marts,  "unique  in  his  capa- 
city to  impart  accurate  informa- 
tion to  students  and  in  his  ability 
to  inspire  them  to  hard,  effective 
effort  to  master  their  subjects. 


"As  he  retires  from  active  teach- 
ing we  hope  that  he  will  be  happy 
in  his  new  mode  of  life  and  that 
he  will  be  on  hand  to  greet  return- 
ing alumni  and  to  give  wise  coun- 
sel to  those  of  us  who  are  continu- 
ing in  the  service  of  Bucknell." 

It  is  expected  that  Professsor 
Lindemann  will  be  elected  profes- 
sor emeritus  of  mathematics  when 
the  Trustees  of  the  University  hold 
their  next  meeting  in  the  fall. 


ROBBDMS,  COLEMAN  PUBLISH 
TEXT  IN  WORLD  LITERATURE 

Western  World  Literature,  a 
unique  anthology  containing  464 
selections  from  190  authors  repre- 
senting the  whole  span  of  literature 
in  the  western  world  from  the  time 
of  Homer  to  the  present,  compiled 
by  two  Bucknell  professors,  Dr. 
H.  W.  Robbms  and  Dr.  W.  H. 
Coleman,  has  just  been  published 
by  Macmillan  Company. 

Dr.  Robbins  and  Dr.  Coleman 
were  invited  by  the  publishers  to 
prepare  the  book  on  the  basis  of 
their  experience  with  the  course 
in  World  Literature  which  they  de- 
veloped at  Bucknell.  It  will  fill 
a  long-felt  need  in  the  textbook 
field  and  will  undoubtedly  be 
adopted  by  many  of  the  colleges 
which  have  followed  Bucknell's 
lead  in  the  establishment  of  survey 
courses  in  world  literature. 

Western  World  Literature  has 
a  number  of  unusual  features,  one 
of  which  is  a  chronology  which  at- 
tempts to  correlate  literature  and 
history.  The  authors  have  sup- 
plied historical  data  for  the  period 
in  which  each  author  wrote,  in 
order  that  the  student  may  have  a 
better  understanding  of  the  writer 
and  his  times. 

Of  especial  interest  are  the  trans- 
lations made  by  Dr.  Robbins  from 
foreign  literature.  These  include 
works  in  Greek,  Latin,  and  Old 
French,  translated  by  Dr.  Robbins 
for  inclusion  in  this  text. 

President  Marts,  who  has  been 
deeply  interested  in  the  project, 
said:  "We  are  very  proud  of  these 
two  Bucknell  professors  who  have 
been  able  to  produce  this  important 
textbook.  Its  publication  marks 
an  important  milestone  in  the  de- 
velopment of  the  survey  courses  in 
which  Dr.  Rainey  pioneered  at 
Bucknell." 


FOUR  PROFESSORS  PROMOTED 

Four  faculty  promotions  were 
announced  by  Dean  R.  H.  Riven- 
burg  at  Commencement.  They  are 
as  follows:  Dr.  Ralph  E.  Page, 
from  associate  professor  to  profes- 
sor of  political  science:  Dr.  Alvin 
B.  Biscoe,  from  assistant  professor

ciate professor  to  professor  of  so- 
ciology; and  Dr.  William  T.  Mac- 
Creadie,  from  assistant  professor 
to  associate  professor  of  mathe- 
matics. 

STILLMAN  GETS  LEAVE

in  English,  has  been  granted  leave 
of  absence  for  next  year.  He  will 
study  for  his  Doctor's  degree  at  the

him  the  honorary  degree  of  Doctor 
of  Divinity  at  its  Commencement 
exercises  on  June  13.  Dr.  Bond 
was  one  of  six  noted  educators  and 
distinguished  men  who  were 
awarded  honorary  degrees  by  Col- 
gate this  year. 

STATE  CERTIFIES  KUNKEL 

Dr.  George  M.  Kunkel,  '19,  as- 
sistant professor  of  mechanical  en- 
gineering, has  recently  been  noti- 
fied of  his  certification  as  a  Pro- 
fessional Engineer  in  Pennsylva- 
nia, which  signifies  that  the  State 
considers  him  qualified  to  design 
and  direct  any  engineering  work  in 
his  field,  and  to  accept  responsi- 
bility for  its  safe  accomplishment. 
His  past  record  was  such  that  he 
was  excused  from  taking  the  exam- 
inations which  are  often  required. 

RICE  ENGAGES  IN  RESEARCH 

Dr.  John  W.  Rice,  professor  of 
bacteriology,  is  spending  the  sum- 
mer at  Lake  Seneca,  N.  Y.,  where 
he  is  engaged  in  special  research 
for  the  New  York  State  Agricul- 
tural Station  at  Geneva.  Dr.  Rice 
was  invited  by  Dr.  Breed,  chief 
of  the  bacteriological  division  of 
the  Station,  to  assist  in  research  in 
paper  containers,  a  field  in  which 
the  Bucknell  professor  has  already 
done  considerable  work.

The  BUCKNELL  ALUMNI  MONTHLY 


Noted  Leaders  Join  In  Tribute 

To  Dr.  E.  W.  Hunt,  President  Emeritus 


Noted  leaders  in  education,  re- 
ligion, and  foreign  mission  work 
gathered  in  the  First  Baptist 
Church  at  Lewisburg  on  May  23 
to  pay  final  tribute  to  their  es- 
teemed leader,  Dr.  Emory  W. 
Hunt,  Bucknell's  beloved  Presi- 
dent Emeritus,  whose  death  occur- 
red on  Friday,  May  20,  at  his 
home  in  Lewisburg. 

Dr.  Hunt,  who  retired  from  the 
presidency  of  Bucknell  in  1931, 
had  been  in  ill  health  for  several 
months.  In  mid-winter  he  suf- 
fered an  attack  of  pneumonia 
which  left  him  in  a  weakened  con- 
dition, so  that  his  death  was  not 
entirely  unexpected. 

The  same  beauty  and  simplicity 
which  had  marked  Dr.  Hunt's  life 
characterized  the  impressive  fun- 
eral services,  with  representatives 
from  the  institutions  and  organi- 
zations which  he  had  served  par- 
ticipating in  this  last  memorial. 

Dr.  Arnaud  C.  Marts,  speaking 
on  behalf  of  the  University,  prais- 
ed the  late  Bucknell  president  as 
"a  strong,  brave,  courageous,  gen- 
tle leader''  who  served  as  head  of 
the  University  during  "the  twelve 
most  difficult  years  of  its  history." 

"There  were  no  frontiers  to  the 
mind  of  Dr.  Hunt,"  said  Dr.  Jos- 
eph C.  Robbins,  representing  the 
Baptist  Foreign  Mission  Board. 
He  described  Dr.  Hunt's  influence 
upon  the  foreign  missions  move- 
ment, citing  his  work  in  establish- 
ing and  supporting  Shanghai  Uni- 
versity, West  China  University, 
and  Judson  College  in  Burma. 

"We  leave  him  greater  than  the 
world  suspects,  living  and  dying," 
said  Dr.  George  H.  Baker  of  the 
Baptist  Education  Board.  At  the 
time  of  his  death  Dr.  Hunt  was 
Chairman  of  this  Board. 

Dr.  James  H.  Franklin,  presi- 
dent of  Crozer  Theological  Semi- 
nary, praised  Dr.  Hunt  as  "a  dis- 
ciple of  the  meek  and  lowly 
Jesus."  "He  was  the  gentlest 
strong  man  I  ever  knew,"  he  ex- 
plained. 

Others  who  took  part  in  the 
services  were  Dr.  Avery  A.  Shaw, 
president  of  Denison  College, 
Granville,  Ohio,  which  Dr.  Hunt 
headed  for  more  than  a  decade,  Dr. 


Milton  G.  Evans,  former  president 
of  Crozer  Theological  Seminary, 
and  the  Rev.  James  B.  Ostergren. 
pastor  of  the  Baptist  Church  here. 
Members  of  the  faculty  who  at- 
tended in  a  body  wore  their  aca- 
demic robes  as  a  special  mark  of 
respect  for  their  former  leader.  Dr. 
Hunt's  body,  clad  in  his  academic 


The  Late  Emory   \V.   Hunt 

gown,  lay  in  state  in  the  church 
for  several  hours  preceding  the  ser- 
vices, which  were  followed  by 
burial   in  Lewisburg   Cemetery. 

Dr.  Hunt  was  born  in  East 
Clarence,  N.  Y.,  February  2.  1862, 
the  son  of  the  late  Rev.  and  Mrs. 
Harrison  P.  Hunt.  He  was  edu- 
cated at  the  University  of  Roch- 
ester, where  he  received  the  Bach- 
elor of  Arts  degree  in  1884.  He 
was  graduated  from  Crozer  Theo- 
logical Seminary,  Chester,  Pa.,  in 
1887.  Honorary  degrees  were  con- 
ferred on  him  by  the  University 
of  Rochester,  Hillsdale  College  in 
Michigan,  McMaster  College.  John 
B.  Stetson  College  in  Florida,  Den- 
ison University  in  Granville,  Ohio,

Prior  to  becoming  president  of 
Bucknell  University  he  was  presi- 
dent of  Denison  University  from 
1901   to   1913. 

Among  positions  held  by  Dr. 
Hunt  was  the  presidency  of  the 
Northern  Baptist  Convention,  the 


highest  honor  offered  by  the  Bap- 
tists of  the  north.  Dr.  Hunt  head- 
ed this  body  from  1910  to  1912. 
He  was  also  general  secretary  of 
the  American  Baptist  Foreign  Mis- 
sionary Society  from  1913  to 
1915.  Just  before  entering  the 
presidency  of  Bucknell  University 
he  was  pastor  of  the  First  Baptist 
Church  at  Newton  Centre,  Mass. 
He  was  pastor  of  prominent 
churches  in  Toledo  and  Boston 
before  he  was  president  of  Denison 
University. 

While  he  was  president  of  Buck- 
nell University,  beginning  June 
24,  1919,  and  continuing  until 
June  9,  1931,  five  buildings  and 
the  memorial  stadium  were  added 
to  the  college  campus.  Academic 
standards  were  maintained  and  ap- 
proved and  the  college  grew  in  size 
to  1,200  students,  with  800  per- 
sons in  the  extension  division. 

Dr.  Hunt  was  married  to  Miss 
Josephine  Kendrick  of  Rochester, 
N.  Y.,  in  1888.  Their  daughter, 
Miss  Helen  Hunt,  is  Dean  of  Wo- 
men in  Judson  College  in  Burma. 
Mrs.  Hunt  died  in  1890.  In  1892 
Dr.  Hunt  married  again,  taking  as 
his  wife  Miss  Elizabeth  Olney  of 
Walton,  Mass..  whose  death  oc- 
curred in  1932.  Two  daughters 
of  this  marriage  are  surviving. 
They  are:  Mrs.  Earl  Richards  of 
Columbus  and  Mrs.  William  Ma- 
haffey  of  Pittsburgh. 

Mary  Bartol  Theiss  '94 

Dies  of  Heart  Attack 

Dr.  Mary  Bartol  Theiss,  '94, 
who,  it  is  said,  knew  more  about 
Bucknell  than  any  other  indivi- 
dual, died  very  suddenly  of  a  heart 
attack  at  her  home  near  Muncy  on 
Saturday,  June  25,  ending  a  bril- 
liant career  characterized  by  re- 
markable versatility  and  activity. 
The  wife  of  Dr.  Lewis  E.  Theiss, 
Professor  of  Journalism  at  Buck- 
nell, she  was  known  to  thousands 
of  Bucknellians  for  her  loyal  and 
continuous  devotion  to  her  Alma 
Mater,  manifest  in  her  deep  in- 
terest in  every  project  promoting 
the  welfare  of  the  college  which 
she  loved  so  greatly. 

Mrs.  Theiss  was  born  at  Union 
Grove,   Wisconsin,   November    11,

1  875,  the  daughter  of  Dr.  William 
C.  and  Martha  Belle  Bartol.  and 
came  to  Lewisburg  in  1881  when 
her  father  became  a  member  of  the 
Bucknell  University  faculty.  She 
attended  Bucknell  Institute  and 
Bucknell  University,  and  was 
graduated  from  the  latter  with 
honors  in  1894.  She  received  her 
Master  of  Arts  degree  in  1895. 
and  then  accepted  the  Bennett  Fel- 
lowship at  the  University  of  Penn- 
sylvania, where  she  was  awarded 
a  Doctor  of  Philosophy  degree  in 
1899.  She  was  then  appointed 
head  of  the  department  of  ancient 
languages  at  Rockford  College. 
Rockford.  111. 

In  1903  she  married  Dr.  L.  E. 
Theiss,  who  was  then  on  the  edi- 
torial staff  of  the  iVea'  York  Sun. 
and  they  resided  in  New  York 
City  until  1912.  From  1914  to 
1924  they  resided  near  Muncy, 
where  they  were  occupied  with 
writing  books  and  articles  for 
leading  national  publications. 

Mrs.  Theiss,  a  writer  herself, 
contributed  numerous  articles  to 
leading  national  magazines,  and 
assisted  Dr.  Theiss  in  writing  the 
book,  "His  Big  Brother,"  and 
many  more  of  his  books.  As  a 
contributor  to  the  Alumni  Month- 
ly, she  was  an  authority  on  grad- 
uates of  the  University  who  have 
become  famous,  and  at  the  time  of 
her  death  was  writing  a  history 
of  the  Bucknell  Chapter  of  Pi  Beta 
Phi,  national  social  fraternity.  She 
was  one  of  the  founders  of  the 
Bucknell  chapter,  and  also  became 
its  first  president. 

So  varied  were  her  interests  that 
it  is  almost  impossible  to  enu- 
merate all  of  them. 

Mrs.  Theiss  was  active  in  many 
local  civic  and  social  organizations 
and  started  the  Girl  Scout  Move- 
ment in  Lewisburg.  She  was  a 
member  of  the  Shikelimo  Chapter 
of  the  D.  A.  R.,  the  Campus  Club, 
and  of  the  Susquehanna  Branch 
of  the  American  Association  of 
University  Women,  which  she  as- 
sisted in  organizing.  She  belonged 
to  Phi  Beta  Kappa,  national  hon-

Eliza  J.  Martin  Dies 

Librarian  for  15  Years 

Miss  Eliza  J.  Martin.  '00.  Li- 
brarian at  Bucknell  University  for 
the  past  15  years,  died  at  her  home 
in  Lewisburg  on  Friday,  July  8, 
after  a  brief  illness.  Her  death 
came  as  a  distinct  shock  to  the 
many  Bucknellians  who  had  come 
into  contact  with  her  interesting 
personality  as  a  student  and  later 
as  an  administrator  at  Bucknell. 
She  was  56  years  old. 

Miss  Martin's  family  had  long 
been  prominent  in  Bucknell  his- 
tory. Both  her  father  and  mother 
were  graduates  of  Bucknell.  Her 
mother.  who  was  Mary  E.  Brown, 
I-'62,   taught  for  several   years   in 


Eliza    J.  Martin.  '00 

the  Music  School  before  her  mar- 
riage and  her  father,  William  E. 
Martin,  '71,  was  connected  with 
the  University  for  nearly  half  a 
century,  first  as  teacher  and  later 
as  librarian. 

Miss  Martin  was  born  in  the 
academy  building,  when  her  fath- 
er was  principal  of  the  academy. 
In  those  days  members  of  the  fac- 
ulty occupied  the  same  quarters  as 
students.  She  was  graduated  from 
Bucknell  in  the  class  of  1900  and 
received  her  Master's  degree  from 
the  University  two  years  later. 

She  later  studied  for  a  brief 
period  at  the  University  of  Jena, 
the  University  of  Berlin,  Columbia 
University  and  the  New  York 
State  Library  School. 

She  came  to  Bucknell  as  Assist- 
ant Librarian  in  1921  and  was 
made  Librarian  the  following  year, 
holding  that  position  until  her 
death. 

For  many  years  she  took  an  ac- 
tive interest  in  alumni  affairs  and 
held  a  number  of  offices  in  local  or- 
ganizations. She  served  as  presi- 
dent of  the  Campus  Club  in  re- 
cent years.  Two  years  ago  she 
spent  some  time  in  China  and  up- 
on her  return  filled  numerous  lec- 
ture engagements. 


She  is  survived  by  one  brother, 
James  Brown  Martin,  '98,  of 
Nashville.  Tenn. 

Funeral  services  were  conducted 
in  the  First  Baptist  Church  at 
Lewisburg  and  burial  was  made 
in  the  Lewisburg  Cemetery.  Mem- 
bers of  the  faculty  at  Bucknell, 
deacons  of  the  Baptist  Church,  a 
number  of  alumni,  and  also  a  num- 
ber of  townspeople  were  honorary 
pallbearers.

THE  AMERICAN  MIND 
Reviewed  for  the  Alumni  Month- 
ly by  Allan  G.  Halline,  assistant 
professor  of  American  Litera- 
ture at  Bucknell. 
The  American  Mind.  Edited 
by  Harry  R.  Warfel,  '20,  Ralph 
H.  Gabriel,  and  Stanley  T.  Wil- 
liams. American  Book  Company. 
1937.  This  book  is  a  new  depar- 
ture in  anthologies  of  literature. 
Instead  of  including  selections  only 
from  the  standard  literary  figures 
of  America,  the  editors  have  chosen 
amply  but  discriminatingly  from 
the  writings  of  men  who  have  been 
outstanding  in  other  fields  of  in- 
tellectual endeavor:  religion,  phi- 
losophy, science,  politics,  econom- 
ics, and  sociology.  This  inclusion 
of  material  from  other  fields  of 
American  thought  enables  one  to 
understand  more  fully  the  intel- 
lectual development  of  the  nation 
and  enriches  his  reading  of  the  tra- 
ditional literary  figures.  Such  an 
approach  is  in  keeping  with  recent 
tendencies  in  American  criticism. 

Brief,  concise,  and  proportionate 
surveys  give  the  key  to  the  back- 
ground in  each  distinct  period  of 
American  thought,  and  informa- 
tive introductions,  with  selected 
bibliography,  provide  the  student 
with  a  helpful  approach  to  the 
various  figures  represented.  In  ad- 
dition, there  are  general  biblio- 
graphies at  the  end  of  the  volume, 
as  well  as  a  convenient  chronology 
which  arranges  the  historical  and 
literary  events  in  parallel  columns, 
thus  putting  in  outline  form  the 
general  theme  of  the  book. 

To  some  the  chief  fault  of  the 
book  will  be  the  briefness  and 
sketchiness  of  the  selections  which 
represent  a  few  of  the  writers.  No 
doubt  the  editors  would  answer 
to  this  that  one  of  their  interests 
was  breadth  in  the  inclusion  of 
authors,  and  also  that  they  were 
obliged  by  production  limitations 
to  omit  several  hundred  pages  they 
wished  to  include.

1871 

George  T.  Bailey,  one  of  Bucknell's 
oldest  alumni,  familiarly  known  as  "the 
grand  old  man  of  La  Plume",  celebrated 
his   90th  birthday   in   February. 

Mr.  Bailey,  who  is  a  brother  of  the 
late  Mrs.  John  Howard  Harris  whose 
death  occurred  this  year,  can  claim  one 
of  the  most  unusual  records  in  college 
circles,  for  he  has  served  "the  longest 
trusteeship  at  any  school,  college,  or  uni- 
versity in  the  United  States."  Mr.  Bailey 
became  a  trustee  at  Keystone  Academy, 
now  Scranton-Keystone  Junior  College, 
more  than  69  years  ago.  assuming  the  post 
shortly  after  the  death  of  his  father,  who 
had  been  one  of  the  founders  of  the 
school. 

At  90  Mr.  Bailey  is  still  an  active  man 
and  is  widely  known  for  his  remarkable 
memory  which  has  served  him  in  good 
stead  in  his  histories  of  Keystone  Acad- 
emy  and    other   local    institutions.

man  of  Duncannon.  Pa.,  died  at  his  home 
in  that  city  last  February,  following  an 
extended  illness.  Mr.  Duncan  was  a  pion- 
eer banker  at  Duncannon  and  was  inter- 
ested in  numerous  large  corporations.  He 
was  one  of  the  largest  stockholders  of  the 
Clark's  Ferry  Bridge  Company  and  was

Dr.  Mary  B.  Harris,  superintendent  of 
the  Federal  Industrial  Institution  for  Wo- 
men at  Alderson.  West  Virginia,  was  se- 
lected as  one  of  the  women  of  the  month 
in  a  magazine  article  by  Genevieve  For- 
bes Herrick  that  appeared  in  the  June 
Issue  of  "The  Country  Gentleman"  under 
the  title  of  "Women  in  the  News". 

After  outlining  the  remarkable  record 
made  by  prisoners  at  Alderson.  the  writer 
adds:  "For  years  I  had  heard  about  this 
remarkable  Mary  Harris.  I  knew  she  had 
been  graduated  with  honors  from  Bucknell 
University,  in  Pennsylvania,  where  her 
father  was  for  thirty  years  president.  I 
knew  she  was  a  Pi  Beta  Phi  sorority  sis- 
ter of  Grace  Coolidge  and  Carrie  Chapman 
Catt.     I  knew  she  was  a   musician,   a  lin- 


guist, and  a  numismatist.  Yes,  I  too 
had  to  run  to  the  dictionary  to  be  sure 
it  means  a  collector  of  rare  coins  and 
medals. 

"I  knew  that  she  went  into  penology 
almost  by  accident,  giving  up  the  teach- 
ing of  Latin  and  Greek,  when  her  college 
friend,  Dr.  Katherine  Bement  Davis,  per- 
suaded her  to  take,  just  temporarily,  the 
position  of  superintendent  of  the  Wo- 
men's   Workhouse   on    Blackwell's    Island. 

"But  I  had  never  met  her  until  she 
came  to  Washington  a  few  weeks  ago  to 
address  the  annual  meeting  of  the  Wo- 
men's Bar  Association,  almost  thirteen 
years  to  the  day.  from  the  time  she  had 
gone  down  to  Alderson,  West  Virginia, 
to  be  its  first  and  famous  superintendent."

William  E.  Renshaw  of  Idaho  Springs. 
Colorado,  was  killed  in  an  automobile 
accident  near  his  home  on  May  3  1 .  Wide- 
ly known  as  a  mining  man.  former  state 
senator,  and  former  member  of  the  state 
industrial  commission.  Mr.  Renshaw  had 
celebrated  his  78th  birthday  only  a  few 
days  before  the  accident  which  resulted 
in   his   death. 

A  native  of  Scranton,  Mr.  Renshaw 
went  West  while  still  in  his  early  thirties, 
determined  to  learn  the  gold  mining  busi-

Irvin  S.  Cobb,  internationally  known 
writer  and  commentator,  added  his  name 
to  the  long  list  of  men  who  regard  Christy 
Mathewson  as  "the  outstanding  player 
of  organized  baseball  for  all  time,"  when, 
in  a  recent  radio  broadcast,  he  picked 
Christy  as  the  greatest  baseball  star  the 
world  has   ever  known. 

In  a  letter  written  to  a  graduate  of  Key- 
stone Academy,  now  Scranton-Keystone 
Junior  College,  and  printed  in  a  recent 
issue  of  "The  Keystonian" ,  the  school's 
paper.  Mr.  Cobb  reviewed  the  remarks 
which  he  made  about  Mathewson  in  the 
course  of  his  broadcast.  Mathewson  at- 
tended Keystone  Academy  before  coming 
to   Bucknell. 

He  selected  Christy.  Cobb  said.  "Be 
cause  he  was  not  only  a  great  athlete  but 
a  great  gentleman.  Because  coming  into 
professional  baseball  at  a  time  when  the 
game  was  rougher  and  less  scrupulous  than 
it  is  today,  he  proved  that  a  youth  could 
give  to  his  team  all  that  he  had  of  skill 
and  wisdom  and  courage  without  sur- 
rendering his  sense  of  natural  honesty  or 
his  natural  dignity  or  his  natural  decency. 
Because  he  passed  on  in  his  prime  by  rea-

son  of  ailments  contracted  in  time  of  war 
while  bearing  his  country's  flag.  Be- 
cause his  record  remains  as  an  evergreen 
monument  to  his  memory  and  his  spirit — 
an  example,  in  sport  and  in  life  generally, 
to  the  boyhood  and  to  the  manhood  of 
this  nation.  Christy  Mathewson  is  dead 
and  in  his  grave — but  his  soul  goes  march- 
ing on!  Of  how  many  of  us  can  you 
say  the  same?"

Alumni  Monthly 


BUCKNEl-l- 

UNIVERSITY 


Vol.  XXIII 
No.  1 

Nov.  1938 


Editor  s  Corner 

BOWING  into  this  unfamiliar  corner, 
we're  shirking  that  old  editorial 
standby,  a  statement  of  policy,  ex- 
cept to  promise  a  continuation  of  the 
"Alumni  Monthly  for  Alumni"  emphasis. 
You  can  do  your  part  by  tossing  over- 
board that  becoming  modesty,  and  giving 
us  a  line  on  what  you've  been  doing.  Any 
ideas  or  comment  on  Monthly  features 
will  be  welcomed. 


SHOULD  a  new  Alumni  Directory  be 
published?  L.  Francis  Lybarger. 
Jr..  acting  alumni  secretary,  has  re- 
ceived many  inquiries  concerning  the  is- 
suance of  a  revised  directory.  So,  in  this 
issue  of  the  Monthly,  he's  conducting  a 
straw  poll  of  alumni  on  this  question.  If 
you're  interested  in  buying  a  directory 
supplying  the  up-to-the-minute  addresses 
of  your  classmates  and  friends,  check  the 
appropriate  response  on  the  business  reply 
card  inserted  at  the  rear  of  the  Monthly. 
Whether  you  favor  or  frown  upon  the 
proposal,  send  your  answer  to  Mr.  Ly- 
barger. The  most  recent  directory,  inci 
dentally,   was  published  in   1930. 


IT'S  almost  here!  "It",  of  course,  is 
Homecoming,  set  for  Saturday,  Novem- 
ber 19.  Elsewhere  in  these  pages  you'll 
find  a  handy  summary  of  Homecom- 
ing highlights.  It's  an  attractive  program, 
full  but  yet  not  too  crowded  to  rule  out 
those  informal  confabs  with  friends  you 
haven't  seen   since   "wav  back   when". 


IF  YOU  like  to  make  your  Homecoming 
plans  in  advance,  you  can  secure  tickets 
and    reservations    through    correspond- 
ence  with   the   alumni   secretary.     Full   in- 
formation  as  to   prices   will   be   found   in- 
side the  back  cover  of  the  Monthly. 


WITH  the  coming  of  fall,  district 
alumni  clubs  have  launched  an  ex- 
ceptionally active  season.  Each 
week  we're  receiving  enthusiastic  reports 
on  the  formation  of  new  groups  or  on 
the  flourishing  condition  of  the  established 
clubs.  If  you're  not  affiliated  with  a 
sectional  alumni  organization,  check  the 
club  list  on  this  page  and  make  arrange- 
ments to  be  on  hand  at  the  next  meeting. 


BUILDING  plans  have  continued  to 
dominate  the  campus  scene  since  the 
last  issue  of  the  Monthly.  Groun  I 
has  been  broken  for  the  two  wings  which 
will  complete  the  Engineering  Building, 
and  women  students  have  taken  over  re- 
modeled Tustin  Gymnasium.  Tennis 
courts  are  multiplying  rapidly,  and  Loom- 
is  Field  has  been  entirely  transformed  for 
coed  use.  You  who  return  only  for 
Homecoming  will  have  your  first  glimpse, 
too,  of  Davis  Gymnasium,  the  Number 
One  addition   during   the  year. 

Sep  you   at  Homecoming!

Varied  Homecoming 
Program  Arranged 


The  date:  NOVEMBER  19. 


The       place: 
CAMPUS. 


BUCKNELL'S 


The  event:  HOMECOMING. 

The  thing  to  do:  COME  TO 
LEWISBURG,  via  motor,  rail, 
air,  or  thumb. 

With  all  the  standard  attractions 
again  appearing  on  the  program, 
this  year's  Homecoming  will  offer 
the  added  feature  of  a  dance  in  the 
new  John  Warren  Davis  Gymna- 
sium. Held  previously  in  the  Wo- 
men's College  Dining  Hall,  this 
year's  Alumni  Ball  will  be  the  first 
dance  in  the  new  sports  center. 
Graduates  who  remember  ruefully 
the  wearing  effects  of  a  three-hour 
caper  on  the  Dining  Hall's  ada- 
mantine floor  will  hail  the  switch 
to  the  gymnasium. 

Headlining  the  program,  of 
course,  will  be  the  gridiron  battle 
at  2  o'clock  in  the  Memorial  Sta- 
dium between  Coach  Al  Hum- 
phreys' Bisons  and  the  Colonials 
of  George  Washington  University. 
Not  for  many  seasons  has  the 
Thundering  Herd  met  defeat  be- 
fore a  Homecoming  crowd,  and 
this  year's  team  will  be  out  to  pro- 
tect that  record  against  a  foe  which 
to  date  remains  unbeaten.  Since 
the  epidemic  of  injuries  that  struck 
the  Bisons  in  mid-season  is  ex- 
pected to  be  cleared  up  by  Novem- 
•ber  19,  the  Homecoming  battle 
looms  as  one  of  the  most  keenly- 
contested  of  the  campaign. 

The  formal  Homecoming  sched- 
ule will  get  under  way  at  10:15 
o'clock  Saturday  morning  when 
Bucknell's  soccermen  tangle  with 
Dickinson's  booters  on  one  of  the 
new  playing  fields  laid  out  this 
fall  in  the  vicinity  of  the  new  gym- 
nasium. Rebounding  from  an 
early-season  slump  by  defeating 
Western  Maryland  and  deadlock- 
ing Temple,  the  Orange  and  Blue 
soccer  team  should  provide  a  good 
show  for  alumni  who  arrive  dur- 
ing the  morning. 


Following  the  soccer  game 
alumni  will  have  an  opportunity 
to  chat  with  old  friends  and  to 
inspect  the  constantly-changing 
campus.  Then,  after  the  foot- 
ball contest  there  will  be  an- 
other lull  during  which  graduates 
can  reacquaint  themselves  with 
each  other  and  with  the  college. 
Both  Davis  Gymnasium  and  re- 
modelled Tustin  Gymnasium  will 
be  open  for  inspection  throughout 
the  day. 

PRESIDENT  TO  SPEAK 

At  6:45  o'clock  alumni  paths 
will  converge  on  the  Women's 
College  Dining  Hall,  where  the 
Alumni  Dinner  will  be  held.  Carl 
L.  Millward,  '06,  president  of  the 
General  Alumni  Association,  will 
act  as  toastmaster,  while  President 
Arnaud  C.  Marts  will  be  the  prin- 
cipal speaker.  Prominent  Univer- 
sity and  alumni  figures  will  be  in- 
troduced. There  will  be  a  restrain- 
ing valve  on  the  flow  of  oratory, 
with  alumni  fellowship  the  key- 
note of  the  occasion. 

Entertainment  will  be  provided 
by  Professor  Melvin  Le  Mon's  fine 
Men's  Glee  Club,  which  has  pre- 
pared a  Homecoming  program,  in- 
cluding a  Bucknell  medley  and  a 
number  of  alumni  specialties.  Tick- 
ets for  the  dinner  will  be  on  sale 
at  75  cents  apiece. 

After  the  dinner  ends,  the  group 
will  adjourn  to  the  Gymnasium, 
where  dancing  will  be  scheduled 
from  9  to  12  P.M.  Playing  for 
the  dance  will  be  Howard  Woods 
and  his  orchestra,  with  his  "Ce- 
leste" and  Glee  Club.  After  a  suc- 
cessful summer  and  fall  in  the  New 
York  metropolitan  area,  the  Woods 
band  will  play  the  Alumni  Ball 
engagement  before  migrating 
southward  to  spend  the  winter  at 
Georgia  and  Florida  resorts.  Solo- 
ists with  the  orchestra  are  Ralph 
Bennett  and  Woods  himself.  Dance 
tickets  are  priced  at  $1.50  per 
couple. 

Encouraged  by  the  success  of  last 
year's  Alumni  Ball,  which  marked 
the  resumption  of  the  policy  of  se- 
curing  outside   orchestras   to   play 


To  Hold  Alumni  Ball 
In  Davis  Gymnasium 

for  the  dance,  the  committee  signed 
the  Woods  group  in  the  belief 
they  will  duplicate  the  smashing 
hit  scored  in  1937  by  Woody  Her- 
man. Dress  for  both  the  dinner 
and  dance  will  be  informal. 

GOLF  TOURNEY  PLANNED 

Throughout  Friday  and  Satur- 
day of  Homecoming  week-end 
alumni  golfers  will  make  their 
headquarters  at  the  University  Golf 
Course,  where  the  annual  tourna- 
ment will  be  in  progress.  Greens 
fees  will  be  abolished  for  tourney 
entrants. 

The  top-ranking  alumni  golf- 
ers, men  and  women,  will  be  de- 
termined on  a  match  play  basis, 
Malcolm  Musser,  '18,  director  of 
the  tournament,  announces.  Con- 
testants will  report  their  scores  at 
the  completion  of  their  rounds,  and 
the  winner  and  runner-up  in  both 
men's  and  women's  divisions  will 
receive  awards  at  the  Alumni  Din- 
ner Saturday  evening. 

Roberts  Hall  Lobby  will  be  the 
registration  center  for  all  alumni, 
it  was  announced  by  L.  Francis 
Lybarger,  Jr.,  acting  alumni  secre- 
tary. 

For  advance  reservations  and 
tickets  for  all  Homecoming  events, 
consult  the  inside  of  the  rear  cover 
for  details.  These  may  be  secured 
through  correspondence  with  the 
alumni  secretary,  or,  in  the  case 
of  football  tickets,  by  ordering  di- 
rectly from  the  University  athletic 
office. 

Homecoming  pageantry,  always 
an  important  part  of  the  program, 
will  reach  a  high  peak  this  year. 
Larger  than  ever,  Bucknell's  80- 
piece  Band  is  practicing  overtime 
to  work  up  novel  maneuvers  and 
stunts  for  November  19.  Again 
this  year  the  Band  is  doubly  drum- 
majored,  with  Bernice  Henry,  '39, 
and  Walter  Biddle,  '41,  twirling 
the  batons.  Then,  too,  a  vigilant 
Student  Tribunal  has  shown  un- 
precedented ingenuity  in  plan- 
ning and  casting  the  Freshman 
Follies  of  1938,  a  free  Homecom- 
ing sideshow.

ground  breaking  exercises  for  the  two  new

Building.  Below  is  the  architect's  picture 
of  the  way  the  completed  structure  will

NOVEMBER,  1938 


Ground  Broken  For 
Engineering  Addition 


Cost  of  Two  Wings  Will  Be  $275,000 


ANOTHER  important  step  in 
the  University's  building 
program  was  taken  Sept.  29 
with  the  breaking  of  ground  for 
two  new  wings  to  be  added  to 
the  Engineering  Building  at  a  cost 
of  $275,000. 

A  gift  of  $100,000  by  a  donor 
whose  name  was  not  announced 
completed  the  sum  required  for  the 
construction.  Previous  benefac- 
tions totalling  $175,000  had  al- 
ready been  received. 

Pressing  an  electric  switch  which 
set  off  a  charge  of  dynamite  at  the 
site  of  the  new  building,  Dr. 
Charles  A.  Lindemann.  professor 
emeritus  of  mathematics  and  first 
teacher  of  engineering  subjects  at 
Bucknell,  had  an  important  role 
in  the  ground  breaking  ceremony. 

Features  of  the  exercises  were  a 
radio  address  by  Dr.  Albert  Ed- 
ward Wiggam.  noted  writer  on 
scientific  topics,  and  a  tribute  by 
Arnaud  C.  Marts,  Bucknell  pres- 
ident, to  the  men  who  pioneered 
in  engineering  at  the  University. 


TRIBUTE  TO  PIONEERS 

Dr.  Marts  outlined  the  develop- 
ment of  the  engineering  depart- 
ment, paying  special  tribute  to  five 
of  the  professors  out  of  whose 
courses  the  work  in  engineering 
grew.  They  include  four  profes- 
sors emeritus,  Dr.  William  C.  Bar- 
tol.  Dr.  William  G.  Owens,  Dr. 
Lindemann,  Dr.  Frank  E.  Burpee, 
and  Professor  Walter  K.  Rhodes, 
of  the  present  faculty.  He  also 
commended  the  contributions  of 
the  late  President  John  Howard 
Harris,  who  inaugurated  the  engi- 
neering courses,  and  the  late  Pres- 
ident Emory  W.  Hunt,  in  whose 
administration  the  present  wing  of 
the  Engineering  Building  was 
erected. 

Declaring  that  "the  function  of 
the  college  is  to  train  the  mind 
and  the  personality,  rather  than 
the  hand",  Dr.  Marts  emphasized 
the  growing  conviction  among 
leaders  in  the  engineering  profes- 
sion   that    engineering    courses    in 


college  should  not  be  too  pointed 
in  their  vocational  aim. 

In  his  address  Dr.  Wiggam  de- 
scribed "the  final  challenge  to  the 
engineer"  as  the  problem  "whether 
man  shall  control  science  or  science 
control  and  destroy  man".  He  was 
introduced  to  a  Mutual  Broadcast- 
ing System  radio  audience  by  Dr. 
R.  H.  Rivenburg,  dean  and  vice- 
president. 

Dr.  George  A.  Irland,  professor 
of  electrical  engineering,  described 
the  design  and  uses  of  the  new 
building. 

Construction  of  the  two  new 
wings  will  provide  twice  as  much 
additional  space  as  is  now  sup- 
plied by  the  present  wing,  and  will 
make  possible  the  housing  of  Buck- 
nell's  four  engineering  depart- 
ments, civil,  mechanical,  electrical, 
and  chemical,   in   one  structure. 

New  equipment  costing  $50,- 
000  will  be  installed  in  the  com- 
pleted building  for  the  four  engi- 
neering branches. 


All  Time  Record  Set 
In  Student  Enrolment 


SOARING  above  the  1,300 
mark  for  the  first  time  in  his- 
tory, the  University  student 
body  this  year  numbers  1,322  per- 
sons, Registrar  H.  W.  Holter  has 
announced. 

This  year's  enrolment  tops  last 
year's  total  by  87,  and  climaxes  a 
steady  growth  which  began  four 
years  ago. 

In  this  record-breaking  student 
body  there  are  375  freshmen,  314 
sophomores,  312  juniors,  and  277 
seniors. 

During  the  past  four  years  no 
incoming  freshman  class  has  fallen 
below  300  in  size,  and  a  successful 
effort  has  been  made,  through  the 
selective  admissions  program,  to 
maintain  high  standards  in  choos- 
ing students. 

STUDENTS  RANK  HIGH 

The  success  of  this  program  was 
evidenced  in  a  statement  made  by 


Dr.  Philip  L.  Harriman,  professor 
of  psychology,  who  pointed  out 
that  Bucknell  students  have  con- 
sistently ranked  above  the  national 
psychological  median  for  American 
college  students. 

This  year,  on  the  basis  of  scores 
made  in  psychological  tests  by 
6,500  freshmen  in  American  col- 
leges, it  was  found  that  60  per 
cent  of  the  Bucknell  students 
ranked  in  the  upper  3,250,  Dr. 
Harriman  said. 

Alumni  cooperation  has  played 
a  large  role  in  selecting  this  stu- 
dent body.  University  officials 
have  worked  closely  with  gradu- 
ates, who  have  in  many  cases 
served  as  a  link  between  the  col- 
lege and  incoming  students. 

The  Bucknell  Junior  College  at 
Wilkes-Barre  likewise  reports  the 
largest  total  enrolment  in  its  his- 
tory with  207  students  registered. 
Of  this  number,  107  are  freshmen. 


ALUMNI  EDUCATORS 
HAVE  CONFERENCE  ROLES 

THIRTY-SIX  alumni  played 
prominent  roles  in  the  Univer- 
sity's 13th  annual  Conference 
on  Education,  held  on  the  campus 
October  21  with  500  educators 
from  all  parts  of  Pennsylvania  in 
attendance. 

On  the  general  committee, 
headed  by  Frank  G.  Davis,  '11, 
were  also  John  H.  Eisenhauer,  '05, 
William  H.  Eyster,  '14,  Charles 
E.  Hilbish,  '09,  John  F.  Hummer, 
'08,  Carl  L.  Millward,  '06,  Ru- 
dolph Peterson,  '15,  R.  H.  Riven- 
burg, '99,  Leo  L.  Rockwell,  '07, 
Stanley  H.  Rolfe,  '09,  A.  M. 
Weaver,  '05,  and  John  A.  Young, 
'03. 

Dr.  Weaver,  superintendent  of 
the  Williamsport  schools,  also  pre- 
sented an  address  on  "Pupil  Ad- 
justment" at  a  general  session  of 
the  conference,  while  Henry  S. 
Jones,  A.M.,  '38,  superintendent 
of  the  Plymouth  schools,  presided 
at  another  general  session.

THE 


Dear  Bucknellians: 

Another  Homc-Coming  Day  is  nearly  here  and  I  invite  each  of  you  most 
cordially  to  return  on  that  day,  November  19th,  and  renew  your  friendships  with 
one  another  and  your  vows  to  Alma  Mater. 

Since  the  college  opened  in  September,  we  have  broken  ground  for  the  two 
final  wings  of  the  Engineering  Building,  the  first  wing  of  which  was  built  in  1922. 
These  additions  will  enable  us  to  bring  all  four  Engineering  Departments  under 
one  roof  and  to  give  each  Department  increased  space  and  much  additional  instruc- 
tional and  laboratory  equipment.  The  new  wings  will  be  ready  for  occupancy  in 
September,  1939.  They  will  cost  $275,000,  an  amount  which  has  been  given  by 
two  Trustees. 

We  have  also  rededicated  Tustin  Gymnasium  for  the  use  of  our  women  stu- 
dents, after  complete  renovation.  Tustin  Gymnasium  and  Loomis  Field  now  repre- 
sent   a    perfectly    splendid    physical    education  plant  for  our  435   women  students. 

The  women  held  an  open-house 
reception  for  the  men  in  Tustin 
at  the  dedication  in  order  that  the 
men  should  remember  it  as  it  is 
now,  rather  than  as  when  they 
"T)"D'niOTr>\T7l'N THfO  last  used  it.    Otherwise  they  might

sorry   f  or    the    girls    and    feeling 

__   _      ^  .J — ,  rather  superior  because  of  their  fine 

\j  A  (  L|  Davis  Gymnasium.     The  physical 

.L  ii\!7JJ  education  facilities  of  men  and  wo- 

men have  been  equally  improved, 
thanks  to  the  generosity  of  a  score 
of  Trustees  who  gave  well  over  $200,000  for  the  two  buildings.     We  might  reduce 
the  equal  improvement  to  this  equation — 

The  new  Davis  Gymnasium  for  Men:  Old  Tustin  Gymnasium:  the  new 
Tustin  Gymnasium  for  Women:  the  attic  of  Harris  Hall  which  the  wo- 
men formerly  called  their  Gymnasium. 

The  Campus  is  full  to  overflowing.  We  have  1,322  students  here  this  year  and 
were  obliged  to  refuse  applications  of  hundreds  more.  There  is  spirit,  enthusiasm, 
zest  for  life,  and  eagerness  to  learn  and  to  serve  which  one  fairly  feels  in  the  air. 
It  is  the  same  spirit  which  you  remember,  of  which  a  young  graduate  recently  wrote 
in  these  words: 

"When  we  meet  we  talk  with  shining  eyes  and  hushed  voices  of  the  good 
things  that  were  ours  .  .  .  great  evenings  of  music,  Cap  and  Dagger  first 
nights,  trees  full  of  sun  and  lawns  full  of  shadow,  academic  processions 
with  familiar  class-room  figures  looking  strangely  solemn  and  impres- 
sive .  .  ." 

This   is   your  Bucknell   which   you   love.     May  she  ever  be  true  to  you,  and  may 
you  be  ever  true  to  her  highest  hopes  for  you. 

Yours  sincerely,

Bison  Gridmen  Enter 
Second  Half  of  Season 


HALFWAY  through  their  stiff 
eight-game  schedule,  Coach 
Al  Humphrey's  embattled 
Bison  gridmen,  boasting  a  record 
of  three  victories  and  one  defeat, 
are  set  to  swing  into  their  final 
quartet  of  contests,  three  of  them 
with  teams  from  south  of  the  Ma- 
son and  Dixon  Line. 

Entering  the  second  half  of  their 
autumnal  activities,  the  Bisons 
have  only  a  single  blot  on  the  rec- 
ord —  a  26-0  loss  to  perennially- 
tough  Temple,  suffered  only  six 
days  after  the  Herd  handed  Penn 
State  a  14-0  setback  in  a  gruelling 
contest. 

Busy  days  lie  ahead  because,  as 
The  Alumni  Monthly  goes  to 
press,  three  of  Bucknell's  four  re- 
maining opponents  remain  in  the 
ranks  of  the  undefeated.  They  are 
George  Washington  University, 
Georgetown  University,  and  the 
University  of  Miami,  a  trio  of 
Southern  foes. 

Returning  alumni  will  watch 
the  Bisons  do  battle  with  George 
Washington's   powerful   Colonials 


in  the  Homecoming  encounter  No- 
vember 19.  Another  District  of 
Columbia  team,  Georgetown,  will 
be  met  Friday  night,  November  4, 
in  Washington,  while  late  in  No- 
vember the  Herd  will  journey  to 
Florida  for  a  Thanksgiving  Day 
game  with  the  University  of  Mi- 
ami's Hurricanes.  Albright  was 
scheduled  to  tangle  with  Bucknell 
October  29  in  Lewisburg. 

VETERAN  ELEVEN  ON   HAND 

Representing  Bucknell  this  year 
is  a  completely  seasoned  array. 
From  end  to  end  in  the  line  and 
at  all  the  backfield  spots,  veterans 
are  available.  However,  though  a 
capable  first  team  is  at  hand,  the 
problem  of  reserves  has  again 
arisen  to  plague  the  coaches. 

At  the  ends  are  Hoover  Rhodes, 
Lewisburg,  and  Harry  Wenner, 
Philadelphia,  while  the  starting 
tackles  have  been  Jack  Lynn, 
Kingston,  and  Frank  Pocius,  Riv- 
erside, N.  J.  Harry  Sitarsky, 
Rutherford.  N.  J.,  and  John 
Bovi.  Rome,  N.  Y.,  have  also  seen 

BISON  BACKFIELD 


much  service  at  the  tackle  posts. 
Joe  Grieco,  Jersey  Shore,  who  was 
out  most  of  last  season  with  a 
broken  collar  bone,  and  Kurt  Man- 
rodt,  Newark,  N.  J.,  have  been 
handling  the  guard  assignments. 
Harold  Pegg,  Wilkes-Barre,  has 
been  both  starting  and  starring  at 
center  for  the  second  consecutive 
season. 

In  the  backfield  Co-Captains 
Bill  Lane,  Philadelphia,  and  Lou 
Tomasetti,  Old  Forge,  have  been 
brilliant  performers  at  quarterback 
and  left  halfback,  respectively. 
George  Kiick,  Ephrata.  has  won 
a  starting  berth  at  fullback  by  his 
line-plunging  and  rugged  defensive 
work,  while  Frank  Funair,  Wals- 
ton,  and  Martin  Quick,  Philadel- 
phia, have  been  alternating  at  right 
halfback.  Another  ball-carrier 
who  sees  much  action  is  Bill  Jones, 
senior  halfback  from  Elyria,  Ohio. 

As  they  pounded  out  convinc- 
ing triumphs  over  Furman,  Gettys- 
burg, and  Penn  State,  the  smartly-

'Feminized'  Tustin 
Transferred  to  Women 


Coeds  enter  Tustin  Gymnasium,  remodelled  at  a  cost  of  $25,000  for  the  use  of  women  students,  and 
check  their  equipment  with  Miss  Sylvia  Derr,  left,  director  of  physical  education  for  women. 


TUSTIN  GYMNASIUM,  cen- 
ter of  men's  intercollegiate  ath- 
letics at  the  University  for 
nearly  half  a  century,  was  formally 
turned  over  to  the  women  students 
at  an  interesting  ceremony  on  Oc- 
tober 6. 

The  principal  speaker  was  Dr. 
Mary  M.  Wolfe,  '96,  superintend- 
ent of  the  Laurelton  State  Village 
and  a  member  of  the  Board  of 
Trustees,  who  outlined  the  history 
of  physical  education  for  women 
at  Bucknell. 

Undergoing  a  thoroughly  fem- 
inine face-lifting  during  the  sum- 
mer, Tustin  Gymnasium  now  pro- 
vides facilities  for  ping  pong, 
shuffle-board,  basketball,  badmin- 
ton, and  other  sports,  thus  afford- 
ing a  broadened  program  for  the 
girls. 

Loomis  Field,  too,  has  been  set 
aside  for  the  use  of  the  women  stu- 


dents. The  former  baseball  field 
has  given  way  to  four  new  tennis 
courts  and  two  hockey  playing 
areas. 

The  shift  was  made  possible  by 
the  completion  of  the  John  Warren 
Davis  Men's  Gymnasium,  as  well 
as  by  the  construction  of  addi- 
tional playing  fields  in  the  vicinity 
of  the  new  sports  center. 

A  feature  of  the  program  mark- 
ing the  "feminizing"  of  rugged  old 
Tustin  was  the  transferring  of  the 
gymnasium  keys  from  the  men  to 
the  women.  Martin  Maloney  '39, 
president  of  the  Student-Faculty 
Congress,  presented  the  keys  to 
Elizabeth  Osborne  '39,  who  ac- 
cepted them  in  behalf  of  the  Wo- 
men's Athletic  Association,  which 
she  heads. 

Originally  scheduled  for 
Loomis  Field,  the  exercises  were 
held  in  the  Baptist  Church  when 


heavy  rainfall  made  the  outdoor 
ceremony  impossible. 

Introduced  by  President  Arnaud 
C.  Marts,  Dr.  Wolfe  described  the 
changes  which  have  been  made  in 
the  women's  athletic  program  since 
exercise  for  girls  was  first  pre- 
scribed in  1855. 

The  earliest  mention  of  regular 
gymnastics  and  calisthenics  ap- 
peared in  the  University  catalogue 
for  1861,  and  in  1864  the  cata- 
logue described  the  gymnastic  uni- 
form required  for  the  women,  who 
had  their  first  gymnasium  in  Lari- 
son  Hall,  later  transferring  to  Har- 
ris Hall. 

In  the  late  'eighties  Bucknell 
girls  began  to  play  tennis,  but  they 
took  no  part  in  the  bicycle  craze  of 
the  early  'nineties.  They  organized 
their  first  basketball  teams  in  1896.

35  Frosh  Follow 
Family  Tradition 


FAMILY  tradition  is  being  fol- 
lowed by  35  members  of  this 
year's  freshman  class  whose 
parents  attended  the  University.  In 
1 3  cases,  both  parents  were  stu- 
dents here,  while  for  22  other 
freshmen  either  the  father  or 
mother  is  a  Bucknellian. 

Heading  the  list  is  the  triple 
"legacy"  of  Mr.  and  Mrs.  Thomas 
B.  Williams,  both  '15,  who  have 
three  children  in  this  year's  fresh- 
man class.  Former  residents  of  St. 
Clair,  Pa.,  Mr.  and  Mrs.  Williams 
are  making  their  home  in  Lewis- 
burg  while  their  children  are  in 
college. 

Two  daughters  of  John  O. 
Roser,  '11,  of  Pittsfield,  Mass., 
also  entered  the  University  this 
fall,  while  the  remaining  alumni 
were  content  with  contributing  one 
person  to  the  freshman  class  of 
375.

District  Clubs 


OFFICERS  NAMED  BY 
METROPOLITAN  GROUP 

The  New  York  and  New  Jer- 
sey Alumni  Associations  held  a 
joint  dinner  meeting  on  Friday 
evening,  October  21,  at  the  Town 
Hall  Club  in  New  York  City. 
Ninety-five  men  and  women  alum- 
ni attended.  Dr.  William  G. 
Owens,  professor  emeritus  of 
chemistry,  who  was  born  on  the 
Bucknell  campus,  graduated  in  the 
class  of  1880  and  then  served  his 
Alma  Mater  as  teacher  and  profes- 
sor for  a  period  of  55  years,  was 
our  guest  speaker.  He  entertained 
us  with  a  description  of  many  in- 
timate and  interesting  experiences 
in  a  talk  entitled  "Glimpses  of  the 
Orient." 

Al  Humphreys,  our  popular 
football  coach,  was  also  able  to  be 
with  us.  He  gave  us  a  very  en- 
lightening description  of  the  year's 
past  activities  and  the  future  pros- 
pects of  our  Bisons,  and  showed 
excellent  pictures  of  the  Penn  State- 
Bucknell  game.  After  listening  to 
Al's  discussion,  the  Association 
voted  unanimously  to  send  Co- 
Captains  Lou  Tomasetti  and  Bill 
Lane  a  telegram,  voicing  our  ap- 
preciation of  their  coach,  them- 
selves, and  the  whole  team,  and 
pledging  continued  loyal  support 
and  encouragement. 

During  the  business  session  of 
the  joint  New  York  and  New  Jer- 
sey meeting  it  was  decided  to  re- 
name the  Association,  The  Metro- 
politan Alumni  Association,  and 
to  have  it  composed  of  two  groups 
with  two  sets  of  officers,  one  for 
the  New  York  division  and  one  for 
the  New  Jersey  division,  both  to 
work  cooperatively  for  the  best  in- 
terest of  Bucknell.  It  was  decided 
to  alternate  the  place  of  meetings 
between  New  York  and  New  Jer- 
sey and,  in  addition,  hold  several 
joint  meetings  during  the  year. 
Officers  for  both  the  New  York 
and  New  Jersey  divisions  were 
then  elected  as  follows:  For  New 
Jersey:  President,  W.  C.  Lowther, 
'14;  Vice-President,  H.  C.  Mac- 
Graw,  '23;  Secretary,  Mildred 
Cathers,  '10;  Treasurer,  W.  J. 
Bowers,  '18.  For  New  York: 
President,  E.  A.  Snyder,  '11;  Vice-

NEW  UNIVERSITY 
LIBRARIAN  NAMED 

THREE  new  faculty  members, 
one  of  them  a  transfer  from 
the  Junior  College  at  Wilkes- 
Barre,  began  their  duties  at  the 
University  with  the  beginning  of 
the  fall  term.  In  addition,  two 
new  teachers  were  added  to  the 
Junior  College  staff. 


Harold  W.  Hayden 

Harold  W.  Hayden,  superin- 
tendent of  departmental  libraries 
at  the  University  of  Iowa,  suc- 
ceeded the  late  Eliza  J.  Martin  as 
University  librarian.  He  is  a  grad- 
uate of  Nebraska  State  Teachers 
College  and  has  received  degrees  in 
library  science  from  the  Univer- 
sity of  Illinois  and  the  University 
of  Michigan,  where  he  studied  on 
a  Carnegie  Corporation  Fellow- 
ship. 

Miss  Suzanna  L.  Rohn,  of  Can- 
ton, Ohio,  has  joined  the  faculty 
as  an  instructor  in  physical  edu- 
cation for  women.  She  is  a  grad- 
uate of  Oberlin  College  and  has 
served  as  supervisor  of  physical 
education  in  the  schools  of  Kalis- 
pell,  Montana. 

Dr.  William  I.  Miller,  assistant 
professor  of  mathematics  at  the 
Junior  College,  has  come  to  Lewis- 
burg  to  fill  the  vacancy  caused  by 
the  retirement  of  Dr.  Charles  A. 
Lindemann.  He  was  succeeded  at 
Wilkes-Barre  by  Dr.  Arthur  Bern- 
hart,  formerly  head  of  the  depart- 
ment of  mathematics  and  physics 


at     Ottawa    University,    Ottawa, 
Kansas. 

Dr.  Stanley  Townsend,  of  the 
University  of  Illinois,  joined  the

Elwood  J.  Disque,  who  was 
granted  a  year's  leave  of  absence  to 
continue  his  graduate  study  at  the 
University  of  Pennsylvania. 

WILSON  PRESIDENT 
SPEAKS  AT  CONVOCATION 

DECLARING  that  "we  can  no 
more  isolate  the  United 
States  from  the  infections 
which  blight  other  important  parts 
of  the  world  than  we  can  isolate 
ourselves  from  influenza  if  it  is 
scourging  our  community",  Dr. 
Paul  S.  Havens,  president  of  Wil- 
son College,  spoke  at  convocation 
exercises  marking  the  official  open- 
ing of  the  University  for  its  93rd 
year. 

"We  Americans  are  peculiarly 
prone  to  be  tempted  by  the  im- 
pulse to  save  our  own  skins  and 
to  believe  that  we  can  do  so  no 
matter  what  happens  elsewhere," 
Dr.  Havens  said.  "We  may  as 
well  face  the  fact  that,  whether 
we  like  it  or  not,  isolation  is  im- 
possible. If  we  are  to  exist  at  all, 
common  sense  appeals  us  to  ask 
what  we  can  best  do  as  individuals 
to  contribute  to  sanity  amid  in- 
sanity, to  constructive  effort  in  a 
world  seemingly  bent  on  destruc- 
tion, to  order  amid  chaos." 

Awards  to  undergraduates  at 
the  convocation  were  the  follow- 
ing: William  T.  Grier  prize  for 
freshman  standing  highest  in 
Latin,  Eleanor  Frith,  '41;  George 
M.  Phillips  prize  for  freshman 
standing  highest  in  mathematics, 
Lesher  Mitchell,  '41;  Samuel  L. 
Ziegler  prize  for  member  of  the 
junior  class  showing  greatest  pro- 
ficiency in  English  composition 
and  literature,  Betty  Naumann, 
'39;  Ziegler  prize  for  freshman 
whose  examination  shows  greatest 
proficiency  in  elements  of  English 
composition,  Nancy.  McCullough, 
'42;  Pi  Mu  Epsilon  mathematics 
prize,  Adelaide  Delluva,  '39; 
Bucknell  prize  for  women,  given 
to  sophomore  for  proficiency  in 
English,  Betty  Eyler,  '40;  Buck- 
nell prize  for  freshman  woman 
making  advance  in  English,  Jane 
Smith,    '41,    and    Paul    G.    Stolz 


prize  for  excellence  in  voice,  Jeanne 
Barnes,  '39. 

TRIBUTE  TO  MISS  MARTIN 

A  tribute  to  the  late  Eliza  J. 
Martin,  '00,  former  University  li- 
brarian, written  by  Mabel  Grier 
Lesher,  '01,  is  the  leading  article 
in  the  October  issue  of  Bibliotheca 
Bucnellensis,  publication  of  the 
Friends   of   the   Bucknell   Library. 

After  describing  Miss  Martin's 
professional  career,  Mrs.  Lesher 
writes,  "She  viewed  her  position 
as  one  carrying  responsibility  and 
as  an  opportunity  to  aid  mankind. 
She  loved  life  and  she  loved  people 
of  all  ages  —  a  dynamic  person- 
ality, aggressive  yet  affectionate, 
thoughtful,  and  eager  to  be  of  ser- 
vice." 

Bibliotheca  Bucnellensis  also  an- 
nounces progress  in  the  creation  of 
a  memorial  book  fund  in  honor  of 
Miss  Martin's  father,  the  late  Pro- 
fessor William  E.  Martin,  '71,  in 
recognition  of  his  fifty  years  of 
service  to  Bucknell. 

STATE  HISTORIANS 
MEET  ON  CAMPUS 

The  University  was  host  Oc- 
tober 29  to  the  Pennsylvania  His- 
torical Association,  which  held  a 
luncheon  session  at  the  College 
Dining  Hall  following  a  motor 
trip  from  Williamsport,  scene  of 
the  historians'  annual  meeting. 

President  Arnaud  C.  Marts,  dis- 
cussing "An  Unexploited  Field  of 
History",  was  one  of  the  speakers 
at  the  campus  meeting.  Dr.  J.  Orin 
Oliphant,  associate  professor  of 
history,  presided  at  the  luncheon; 
he  also  served  as  program  chairman 
for  the  state  association. 

FATHERS'  BANQUET 
HELD  IN  GYMNASIUM 

Featuring  the  annual  Father's 
Day  observance,  a  banquet  was 
held  October  29  in  the  new  John 
Warren  Davis  Gymnasium.  With 
accommodations  for  900  persons, 
the  dinner  was  the  first  all-college 
event  to  be  held  in  the  Gymnasium 
since  Commencement. 

Other  highlights  of  the  Dad's 
Day  week-end  were  a  varsity  foot- 
ball game  with  Albright,  a  three- 
act  comedy,  "The  Bishop  Misbe- 
haves", by  Cap  and  Dagger,  and 
special  church  services.

IN  DAVIS  GYM 

A  basketball-boxing  double 
feature  attraction  is  being  planned 
for  Saturday  evening,  January  14, 
when  Davis  Gymnasium  will  be 
used  for  the  first  time  in  intercol- 
legiate competition. 

Mai  Musser's  cagers,  freed  from 
the  cramped  confines  of  the  Tustin 
bandbox,  will  battle  with  Amer- 
ican University,  of  Washington, 
D.  C,  in  the  basketball  end  of  the 
program. 

In  the  ring  the  opposition  will 
be  provided  by  West  Virginia's 
Mountaineers,  perennial  contend- 
ers for  the  Eastern  Intercollegiate 
Boxing  Conference  title,  who  have 
always  been  keen  rivals  of  Joe 
Reno's  Bison  punchers. 

Plans  are  underway  for  appro- 
priate ceremonies  marking  the  in- 
troduction of  varsity  competition 
in  the  news  sports  center.

FEMINIZED'  TUSTIN 
TRANSFERRED  TO  WOMEN 
(Continued  from  page   6) 

"While  the  athletic  field  is  not 
the  only  place  where  intelligence 
and  character  can  be  developed, 
and  the  importance  of  social  con- 
tacts must  not  be  overlooked,"  Dr. 
Wolfe  said,  "there  is  no  better 
place  for  their  development  than 
in  the  great  outdoors,  using  your 
heads  in  your  games,  vying  in  ri- 
valry with  your  fellow  students, 
striving  to  win,  but  using  consid- 
eration and  desiring  no  victory  un- 
less it  is  won  without  unfairness 
and  dishonesty  on  your  part." 


BISON  GRIDMEN  ENTER 
SECOND  HALF  OF  SEASON 
(Continued  from  page  5) 

drilled  Bucknell  football  men 
showed  a  versatile  and  powerful 
attack  coupled  with  a  stalwart  de- 
fense that  refused  to  budge  when 
the  pressure  was  turned  on. 

Launching  Bucknell's  fifty- 
sixth  season  by  meeting  Furman 
in  the  Memorial  Stadium,  the 
Thundering  Herd  romped  to  a  28- 
6  win  over  the  invaders  from 
South  Carolina.  Tomasetti,  who 
has  sparked  the  Bison  attack  the 
past  two  seasons,  crossed  the  goal- 
line  twice  and  threw  passes  to  Lane 
for  the  other  two  touchdowns. 

With  Tomasetti  again  showing 
the  way,  the  Orange  and  Blue  war- 
riors won  their  second  game  by 
crushing  a  stubborn  Gettysburg 
eleven,  27  to  14,  in  the  Stadium. 
Relying  on  a  ground  game  that 
gained  consistently,  the  Bisons 
rolled  up  a  total  of  21  first  downs 
to  the  Bullet's  9.  The  Old  Forge 
Express  tallied  two  six-pointers, 
while  Jones  and  Kiick  registered 
the  other  Bucknell  scores. 

BISONS  TOPPLE  STATE 

Against  Penn  State  on  the  third 
Saturday  of  the  campaign  the  Bi- 
son brigade  rose  to  early-season 
heights,  stunning  a  Homecoming 
crowd  of  13,000  at  State  College 
by  handing  the  favored  Nittany 
Lions  a  14-0  defeat.  Before  the 
game  was  three  minutes  old  Fu- 
nair    slipped    off    left    tackle    and 


raced  down  the  sideline  for  94 
yards  and  a  touchdown  that  gave 
the  Bisons  a  lead  they  never  lost. 

With  an  aroused  State  team 
fighting  desperately  to  score,  the 
Bisons  played  astute  defensive  ball 
to  protect  their  margin.  Midway 
in  the  final  period  Bucknell  capi- 
talized on  a  break  when  Kiick  in- 
tercepted a  Nittany  pass  and  ran 
to  the  State  30-yard  stripe.  Nine 
plays  later  the  Bisons  pushed  over 
the  touchdown  that  removed  all 
doubt  as  to  the  issue. 

Then,  with  the  Humphreys'- 
coached  team  riding  on  the  crest, 
came  a  disheartening  relapse.  An 
enraged  Temple  eleven,  smarting 
from  two  consecutive  defeats  at 
the  hands  of  Pitt  and  Texas 
Christian,  made  short  shrift  of  the 
Bison  winning  streak  by  overpow- 
ering the  Herd,  26  to  0,  in  a  night 
game  at  Temple  Stadium. 

Unable  to  rise  to  the  occasion 
two  weeks  in  a  row,  the  Bisons 
were  no  match  for  one  of  the 
strongest  Owl  elevens  in  recent 
years.  Pop  Warner's  men,  admit- 
tedly "pointing"  for  the  Bucknell 
fray,  scored  two  touchdowns  in 
the  first  quarter  and  two  more  in 
the  third  period.  Handicapped  by 
injuries  to  Tomasetti  and  Rhodes 
in  the  second  quarter,  Bucknell 
made  its  only  sizable  gains  via  the 
forward  passing  route. 

Meanwhile,  Coach  John  Sitar- 
sky's  freshman  team  opened  its 
season  by  holding  a  highly-re- 
garded Army  Plebe  eleven  to  a 
scoreless  tie.

BUCKNELL 

Alumni  Monthly 


Volume   XXIII 

No.  2 
January  1939 


Editor 's  Corner 


IF  you're  among  those  of  us  who  are 
still  drying  out  after  that  Homecom- 
ing deluge  two  months  ago.  you'll 
support  our  unofficial  move  to  have  the 
General  Alumni  Association,  when  it 
meets  in  June,  elect  a  special  Committee 
on  Climate  empowered  to  negotiate  a 
peace  at  any  price  with  the  weatherman, 
who  appears  to  have  a  grudge  against 
Bucknell.  Seriously,  though,  next  year's 
earlier  Homecoming,  with  a  little  help 
from  the  law  of  averages,  should  solve 
the   weather   problem   very   nicely. 


QUESTION  of  the  month  in  the  last 
issue  was:  Should  a  new  Alumni 
Directory  be  published?  Returns 
from  the  informal  straw  poll  among  alum- 
ni indicate  that  many  of  you  feel  the 
need  for  up-to-date  information  on  your 
college  friends,  so  L.  Francis  Lybarger. 
Jr..  acting  alumni  secretary,  is  going  a- 
head  with  plans  for  publication.  On  the 
rear  cover  of  the  Monthly  is  a  preview 
of  the  attractive  directory  which  will  be 
printed  if  alumni  interest  expressed  in 
orders  for  copies,  warrants  it.  "Your  Col- 
lege Friends",  a  streamlined  Alumni  Di- 
rectory, will  be  published  as  soon  as  its 
financial  budget  is  balanced  by  2,500 
orders  at  $1.00  per  copy.  1,250  orders 
at  $2.00  per  copy  or  by  contributions 
from  persons  interested  in  the  success  of 
the  project.  Don't  postpone  filling  out 
the  information  blank  which  will  give 
your  Alma  Mater  the  complete  story  on 
you  and  your  class-mates.

Bucknell  Alumni  Association.  The  March 
issue  of  the  Monthly  will  contain  a  bal- 
lot for  all  alumni  to  register  their  choices 
for  the  trusteeship.  At  present,  alumni 
representatives  on  the  Board  of  Trustees 
are  Thomas  J.  Baldridge,  '95,  Earl  M. 
Richards.  '13,  Harvey  F.  Smith,  '94, 
Berkeley  V.  Hastings.  '13.  Robert  L. 
Rooke,  '13,  Earl  A.  Morton,  '05,  Mary 
B.  Harris,  '93,  and  Harland  A.  Trax, 
'01.  Remember  that  the  nomination  dead- 
line is  March  1. 


WITH  the  second  semester  on  the 
horizon,  the  question  of  where  to 
acquire  a  college  education  is  go- 
ing to  come  up  soon  for  your  younger 
friends  who  are  high  school  seniors.  Why 
not  see  to  it  that  these  college-bound 
young  folk  have  a  chance  to  learn  what 
Bucknell  can  offer  them?  Bucknell  cred- 
its alumni  influence  with  bringing  it 
many  of  its  finest  students.  The  record 
is  worth  maintaining.  Incidentally,  with 
a  student  body  of  more  than  1,300.  and 
with  the  college  being  forced  to  turn 
away  applicants  every  year,  the  wisdom 
of  early  application  might  be  mentioned 
to  young  people  who  are  considering 
Bucknell   seriously.

From  Indian  Clubs 
To  Trap-Shooting 


Athletics   Week-End 
Dramatizes  Changes 


With  this  article  the  Alumni 
Monthly  begins  a  series  devoted  to 
chronicling  changes  which  have 
taken  place  during  the  years  in  fun- 
damental phases  of  college  life. 
Physical  education  has  been  chosen 
as  the  initial  topic,  since  both  men 
and  women  this  year  are  enjoying 
expanded  gymnasium  facilities. 


WITH  a  whirr  the  clay  disk 
catapaults  from  the  queer- 
looking  steel  gadget.  It 
soars  into  the  air,  outlined  against 
the  late  afternoon  sky,  until  sud- 
denly there  is  a  roar,  and  the  spin- 
ning black  circle  explodes  into  a 
thousand  fragments  of  baked  clay. 
The  scene  is  a  Bucknell  physical 
education  class,  streamlined  1938- 
39  model,  where  a  score  of  men  are 
learning  the  fundamentals  of  the 
manly  art  of  trap-shooting.  Al- 
most any  afternoon  in  early  win- 
ter, visitors  to  the  campus,  if  they 
stray  near  the  new  men's  gymna- 
sium, can  hear  the  sound  of  shot- 
gun-fire as  another  clay  pigeon 
bites  the  dust.

The  student  pictured  on  the 
front  cover  is  John  C.  Stevens. 
'41,  of  Camp  Hill.  Pa.,  who 
won  the  intramural  trap-shoot- 
ing contest  this  year. 

The  introduction  of  trap-shoot- 
ing into  the  "curriculum"  is  a 
symbol  of  the  change  that  has 
come  over  the  college  physical  edu- 
cation program  during  recent 
years.  In  general,  emphasis  has 
been  shifted  from  formalized  exer- 
cises and  calisthenics  to  activities 
which  are  likely  to  be  used  by  stu- 
dents during  their  post-college  life. 

This  evolution  in  physical  edu- 
cation aims  was  dramatically  il- 
lustrated this  month  during  a  Phy- 
sical Education,  Recreation,  and 
Athletic  Week-End  staged  in  con- 
nection with  the  first  intercollegi- 
ate competition  in  the  John  War- 
ren Davis  Gymnasium. 

Sponsored  by  the  men's  and  wo- 
men's physical  education  depart- 
ment, the  three-day  program  from 
January  1  2  to  14  included  a  dance 
recital,    demonstrations    of    Buck- 


nell's  athletic  program,  and  a  var- 
sity boxing-basketball  double- 
header. 

The  gala  week-end  opened 
Thursday  evening,,  January  12, 
with  a  performance  by  Doris  Hum- 
phrey, Charles  Weidman,  and 
their  dance  troupe.  President  Ar- 
naud  C.  Marts  spoke  during  the 
Friday  evening  program,  which 
also  included  a  student-faculty  in- 
door tennis  match. 

Saturday  afternoon  was  devoted 
to  recreational  demonstrations  of 
volleyball,  badminton,  shuffle- 
board,  and  folk  dancing,  with 
both  men  and  women  students 
participating.  Brief  addresses  were 
made  by  Miss  Sylvia  Derr  and 
John  D.  Plant,  directors  of  the 
women's  and  men's  programs,  re- 
spectively. The  week-end  came  to 
a  close  Saturday  night  as  West 
Virginia's,  boxers  and  American 
University's  cagers  clashed  with 
Bucknell. 

Contrast  today's  program  with 
the  exhibitions  held  in  Tustin 
Gymnasium  four  decades  ago.  Gym 
students  of  the  'nineties  offered 
demonstrations  featuring  a  wand 
drill,  horse  and  buck  work,  hori- 
zontal bars,  parallel  bars,  clubs, 
and  pyramids. 

In  1939,  although  calisthenics, 
formal  drills,  tumbling,  and  gym- 


nastics have  not  been  completely 
forgotten,  they  play  a  less  import- 
ant role.  Now  the  stress  is  laid 
upon  team  games  fostering  desir- 
able social  attitudes,  as  well  as  up- 
on individual  sports  which  lead 
the  student  to  worthwhile  leisure- 
time  activity. 

The  men's  curriculum  includes 
instruction  in  hunting  and  fish- 
ing, a  lesson  on  approved  fly- 
casting  technique,  golf,  and  ten- 
nis, in  addition  to  the  established 
team  games  of  soccer,  touch  foot- 
ball, basketball,  volleyball,  and 
baseball.  Likewise,  the  women's 
program  features  archery,  tennis, 
golf,  badminton,  dancing  —  all 
activities  with  a  carry-over  value 
in  later  life. 

Familiar  to  recent  graduates  are 
the  physical  education  theory  class- 
es, in  which  lecturers  well-versed 
in  various  sports  are  heard. 

These,  then,  are  the  elements  of 
Bucknell's  physical  education  pro- 
gram —  a  program  which,  in  the 
words  of  John  Plant,  "undertakes 
to  furnish  skilled  and  intelligent 
leadership  of  students  in  the  age- 
old  activities  of  the  human  race  ■ — 
activities  which  have  meaning  and 
significance;  those  which  allow 
for  mental  activity,  promote 
wholesome  self-expression  and  of- 
fer desirable  social  training  in  a 
democracy."

PRESIDENT'S 
PAGE 


Dear  Bucknellians: 

Your  Alma  Mater  is  in  the  midst  of  a  busy  and,  I  trust,  significant  year. 

One  of  the  unique  developments  here  this  year  is  an  earnest  endeavor  on  the  part  of 
students  and  faculty  to  develop  new  practical  techniques  for  student  participation  in  the  gov- 
ernment of  our  Campus  life.  We  have  an  unusually  capable  group  of  student  leaders  who  are 
willing  and  able  to  carry  the  responsibilities  of  self-government,  and  we  are  hopeful  that  this 
year's  leaders  will  set  patterns  of  student  government  which  will  give  added  value  to  the 
educational  process  at  Bucknell. 

Our  alumni  groups  in  many  centers  are  unusually  active  this  year  in  various  constructive 
endeavors  to  serve  their  Alma  Mater.  All  are  cooperating  effectively  with  our  Director  of  Stu- 
dent Admissions,  Francis  Lybarger,  and  several 
of  them  are  starting  scholarship  funds  with 
which  to  aid  promising  students  to  enter  Buck- 
nell from  their  respective  communities. 

Our  trustees  have  set  as  a  goal  for  themselves 
this  year  the  wiping  out  of  the  capital  indebt- 
edness   of   the    College.      This    consists    of    the 
unpaid    balance    still    due    on    the    cost    of    the 
Memorial   Stadium,    Hunt    Hall,    the   Women's 
Dining  Room,   the  Botany  Building,   the  Golf 
Club,    and    the    past    deficits    of    the    Athletic 
Council.     At  the  beginning  of  this  school  year 
this  debt  stood  at  $356,000.     During  the  past 
two    months,    a    committee    headed    by    Judge 
Davis   and   Dr.    Roberts   have    been    actively   at 
work  on  this  problem,    and  as  a  result  a  dozen 
trustees    and    a    loyal    alumnus,    not    a    trustee, 
have  made  gifts  to  Bucknell  totalling  $178,000, 
exactly   one-half   of   the   debt.      These   are   the 
same  men,  for  the  most  part,  who  have  given  so  generously  recently  toward  Old  Main,  Dan- 
iel C.  Roberts  Hall,  Davis  Gymnasium,  and  the  Engineering  Building.    All  Bucknellians  owe 
this  little  group  of  generous  friends  our  deepest  gratitude.     We  are  working  hopefully  to  the 
end  that  the  entire  debt  can  be  wiped  out  by  June.       Such    an    achievement    would    add    im- 
measureably  to  the  vitality  of  our  service  to  youth  here  at  Bucknell. 

The  board  of  Trustees  have  resolved  that,  as  soon  as  this  debt  is  cleared  off,  we  should 
undertake  to  erect  a  new  Library  Building.  We  are  looking  forward  with  eagerness  to  the 
day  when  we  can  launch  that  undertaking.  We  have  a  fine  collection  of  over  90,000  books 
and  bound  volumes  of  publications,  and  we  subscribe  to  nearly  600  magazines  and  periodicals. 
Our  library  staff  is  an  excellent  one,  consisting  of  six  trained  librarians,  with  degrees  from 
library  schools,  and  twenty-three  part-time  student  assistants.  But  our  present  Carnegie  Li- 
brary building  was  never  intended  to  house  90,000  volumes  or  to  serve  1,300  students. 
Last  summer  Professor  Burpee  built  a  mezzanine  floor  in  our  Carnegie  Library  which  pro- 
vided stack  space  for  23,000  additional  volumes  which  had  been  bundled  up  in  the  basement, 
most  of  them  inaccessible  to  students  because  there  was  no  shelf  space  for  them.  The  library 
staff  are  now  cataloguing  these  volumes  and  placing  them  on  the  new  shelves  on  the  mezza- 
nine floor.    These  present  volumes  will  completely  fill  these  additional  shelves. 

This  is  the  ultimate  possibility  of  expansion  of  our  present  library  capacity,  and  our 
next  move  must  be  to  provide  a  new  and  enlarged  building  to  enable  our  library  to  keep  pace 
with  the  requirements  upon  it.  A  fine  library  is  the  heart  of  a  modern  college,  and  we  are 
hoping  that  we  can  soon  give  Bucknell  a  "Heart ",  of  which  every  Bucknellian  will  be  su- 
premely proud. 


With  kindest  regards  to  each  and  all  of  you. 


Yours  sincerely, 


V/w^_^3z^ xr^K^ter 


And  the  rains  came  .  .  . 

But  several  hundred  alumni 
came,  too,  so  the  day  was  a  suc- 
cess. 

The  reference,  of  course,  is  to 
the  annual  Alumni  Homecoming 
held  November  19  in  a  setting 
which  blended  mire  and  mirth, 
rain  and  reminiscence,  sogginess 
and  story-swapping. 

Those  hardy  souls  who  disre- 
garded the  storm  signals  and  re- 
turned to  the  campus  salvaged  three 
noteworthy  experiences  from  the 
wet  week-end:  (1)  watched  the 
Bisons  conquer  George  Washing- 
ton University's  football  men  in  a 
dramatic  demonstration  showing 
the  superiority  of  mind  over  mud: 
(2)  attended  a  splendid  Home- 
coming dinner —  300  alumni  were 
there,  and  (3  )  danced  for  the  first 
time  in  the  new  John  Warren 
Davis  Gymnasium. 

HOMECOMING 
EARLIER  IN  1939 

Remembering  that  the  last  two 
Homecoming  Days  have  been 
marked  by  torrents  of  rain,  alumni 
cheered  when  it  was  announced  at 
the  banquet  that  the  1939  Home- 
coming will  be  held  nearly  a 
month  earlier.  The  date  —  get 
out  that  pencil  and  paper  —  will 
be  October  21.  The  football  op- 
ponent will  be  Georgetown,  which 
this  past  season  had  one  of  the  na- 
tion's few  undefeated  and  untied 
teams. 

1938s  Homecoming  opened 
auspiciously,  in  all  respects  except 
weather  conditions,  as  the  Buck- 
nell  soccer  team  coached  by  Merle 
Edwards,  03,  outfought  and  out- 
splashed  Dickinson.  3  to  0. 

Another  morning  highlight  was 
the  battle  between  freshmen  and 
sophomores  to  determine  whether 


the  first-year  men  should  retain 
"dinks''  and  black  ties  as  insignia 
of  their  inexperience.  The  embat- 
tled freshmen  won  a  tug-of-war, 
and  thus  gained  the  right  to  dis- 
card their  black  ties.  However,  the 
day's  honors  were  divided  when 
the  sophomores  succeeded  in  pro- 
tecting from  freshman  molestation 
a  "dink"  which  had  been  placed 
atop  a  greased  pole. 

During  the  afternoon,  interest 
centered  on  the  Memorial  Stadium, 
where  the  Bisons  staged  the  water 


Homecoming 
Highlights 


buffalo  act  so  successfully  that 
their  rivals  from  Washington.  D. 
C.,  failed  to  register  a  single  first 
down.  Bucknell  scored  a  touch- 
down early  in  the  game  when  Mar- 
tin Quick  skirted  left  end  for  19 
yards  to  climax  a  42-yard  march: 
then,  a  moment  later,  the  score 
went  to  9-0  as  the  alert  Herd  line 
charged  into  the  G.  W.  backfield 
to  force  a  safety  after  a  bad  pass 
from  center.  Willis  Jones  tallied 
the  second  touchdown  in  the  final 
period  after  Bucknell  recovered  a 
fumble  deep  in  George  Washington 
terrain. 

The  principal  speaker  at  the 
Alumni  Banquet,  held  in  the  Wo- 
men's College  Dining  Hall,  was 
President  Arnaud  C.  Marts,  who 
expressed  the  University's  apprecia- 
tion for  the  loyal  support  given  to 
it  by  the  alumni  during  the  past 
year.

'Mathewson  Day' 
In  Baseball  Jubilee 


CHRISTY  MATHEWSON 
Day  at  Cooperstown,  N.  Y., 
set  for  May  27  when  Buck- 
nell  plays  St.  Lawrence  Univer- 
sity, will  be  one  of  the  several  days 
dedicated  to  the  immortals  of  base- 
ball which  will  be  staged  as  pre- 
ludes to  "The  Cavalcade  of  Base- 
ball", now  on  the  calendar  for 
June    12  at  Cooperstown. 

The  official  dedication  of  the 
Baseball  Hall  of  Fame  and  Muse- 
um and  the  unveiling  of  the  me- 
morial plaque  to  the  great  men 
of  the  past  will  take  place  on  June 
12. 

Cooperstown,  however,  i?  only 
one  part  of  the  national  celebra- 
tion of  baseball's  great  birthday 
party.  The  centenary  is  being  di- 
rected by  the  National  Baseball 
Centennial  Commission,  Inc..  of 
New  York,  headed  by  Judge  Ken- 
esaw  Mountain  Landis  and  with 
Al  Stoughton,  '24,  as  secretary. 

Centennial  games  will  be  played 
all  during  the  year  —  and  not  on 
any  one  date  —  by  teams  in  the 
major  leagues,  minor  leagues,  semi- 
pro  associations,  and  amateur  clubs 
from  coast  to  coast.  Intercollegi- 
ate games  are  also  now  being  sched- 
uled by  the  leading  universities  and 
colleges,  generally  in  connection 
with  special  days  to  honor  not 
only  the  centennial  of  baseball 
but  also  prominent  alumni  who 
have  gone  from  their  respective 
Alma  Maters  into  national  promi- 
nence in  baseball.

An  interesting  Mathewson  con- 
nection with  Cooperstown  was  the 
recent  transfer  of  Dr.  Wilbur  S. 
Sheriff.  '28,  from  the  Baptist 
Church  at  Factoryville,  Pa.,  Mat-

Fame. 


Bucknell  Nine 
To  Take  Part 

A  bronze  bust  of  Mathewson 
will  be  unveiled  by  the  widow  of 
the  famed  pitcher  on  May  27.  the 
day  Bucknell  meets  St.  Lawrence 
at  Cooperstown.  Regarded  as  one 
of  the  finest  items  in  the  Baseball 
Museum  collection,  the  bust  was 
molded  in  plaster  by  Gertrude 
Boyle  Kanno,  who  died  in  San 
Francisco  August  16,  1937.  Be- 
fore modeling  Mathewson's  bust, 
she  spent  many  afternoons  at  base- 
ball parks  watching  him  play. 
Following  Mrs.  Kanno's  death  the 
bust,  after  much  research,  was  dis- 
covered and  a  bronze  casting  ob- 
tained by  the  museum.

Radio  Hymn  Sing 
Honors  Robert  Lowry 


75th  Anniversary 
Celebration  Held 


THE  memory  of  Dr.  Robert 
Lowry,  '54,  who  gave  the 
world  some  of  its  most  beloved 
gospel  hymns,  is  being  honored 
this  month  in  an  observance  ar- 
ranged by  his  Alma  Mater. 

Marking  the  75th  anniversary 
of  the  writing  by  Dr.  Lowry  of 
his  most  popular  hymn.  Shall  We 
Gather  at  the  River,  the  celebration 
includes  a  special  chapel  service, 
church  programs,  and  a  hymn  sing 
of  Lowry  compositions  over  a  na- 
tionwide radio  network. 

The  Bucknell  Mixed  Chorus, 
directed  by  Dr.  Paul  G.  Stolz,  is 
singing  Saturday  afternoon,  Jan- 
uary 21,  from  3  to  3:30  P.M.  over 
Radio  Station  WABC,  New  York, 
and  the  Columbia  Broadcasting 
System,  presenting  a  number  of 
Lowry  favorites. 

The  same  group  of  singers  is  ap- 
pearing in  chapel  Thursday  morn- 
ing, January  19,  at  11  A.M. 

CHURCHES  COOPERATE 

In  connection  with  the  anniver- 
sary, ministers  of  churches 
throughout  the  East  have  been  in- 
vited to  include  hymns  written  by 
Dr.  Lowry  in  their  musical  pro- 
grams for  Sunday,  January  22. 

The  man  to  whom  this  celebra- 
tion is  dedicated  was  the  author  of 
more  than  a  score  of  well-known 
hymns,  including  /  Need  Thee 
Every  Hour,  We're  Marching  to 
Zion,  and  All  the  Way  My  Savior 
Leads   Me.      Of   himself   he   said: 


Dr.  Robert  Lowry,  '54 

"My  brain  seems  to  be  a  sort  of 
spinning  wheel:  there  is  music  run- 
ning through  it  all  the  time." 

Born  in  Philadelphia  March  12, 
1826,  Lowry  entered  Bucknell  in 
1850  to  prepare  himself  for  the 
Christian  ministry.  He  was  grad- 
uated in  1854  with  the  Bachelor 
of  Arts  degree  and  with  the  highest 
honors  of  his  class. 

Ordained  to  the  ministry  during 
his  senior  year,  after  graduation  he 
served  as  pastor  of  the  First  Bap- 
tist Church,  West  Chester,  Pa. ; 
Bloomingdale  Baptist  Church, 
New  York  City,  and  the  Hanson 


Ranck  Says  College  Brings 
$600,000  Yearly  to  Town 


In  direct  expenditures  alone, 
Bucknell  University  annually 
brings  more  than  $600,000  to  the 
borough  of  Lewisburg,  Dayton  L. 
Ranck,  '16,  University  comptrol- 
ler, revealed  in  a  talk  to  members 
of  the  Lewisburg  Rotary  Club. 

"Although  local  business  firms 
and  town  leaders  have  always  con- 
sidered the  University  as  a  town 
asset  of  incalculable  value,"  the 
Lewisburg  Journal  commented, 
"the  rank  and  file  of  Lewisburg 
and  even  the  merchants  themselves 


have  never  realized  the  actual  mon- 
etary value  of  the  educational  in- 
stitution as  revealed  in  the  statis- 
tics presented  to  the  Rotary  Club 
by  Mr.  Ranck. 

"Comptroller  Ranck  told  the 
service  club  men  that  at  an  abso- 
lute minimum  this  annual  expen- 
diture (of  $600,000)  is  turned 
over  at  least  five  times  within  the 
community,  making  an  annual 
turn-over  in  the  borough  of  ap- 
proximately $3,000,000." 


Place   Baptist    Church,    Brooklyn, 
N.  Y. 

TAUGHT  AT  ALMA  MATER 

Accepting  a  call  from  his  Alma 
Mater  in  1869,  he  became  professor 
of  Belles-Lettres  in  the  University 
and  at  the  same  time  pastor  of  the 
Lewisburg  Baptist  Church.  After 
performing  this  double  work  for 
six  years,  he  retired  with  the  hon- 
orary degree  of  D.D.,  and  was  sub- 
sequently elected  Chancellor  of 
Bucknell.    He  died  in  1899. 

Shall  We  Gather  at  the  River, 
the  hymn  that  was  to  endear  Dr. 
Lowry  to  millions  throughout  the 
world,  was  composed  in  1864, 
while  the  writer  was  pastor  of  the 
Hanson  Place  Baptist  Church  in 
Brooklyn. 

The  immediate  popularity  of 
Shall  We  Gather  at  the  River  is  re- 
flected in  this  comment  by  the 
Christian  Herald: 

"In  the  spring  of  1865,  forty 
thousand  children  sang  this  hymn 
on  their  May  anniversary  parade 
and  in  their  churches.  Then  it 
went  everywhere.  It  was  sung  in 
conventions,  in  churches,  in  Sun- 
day schools,  and  at  the  bedside  of 
the  dying.  It  crossed  the  ocean  and 
became  known  in  Great  Britain 
and  on  the  Continent.  At  some  of 
the  most  distant  missionary  sta- 
tions of  Asia  it  was  translated  and 
sung.  It  found  its  way  to  the 
Sandwich  Islands  and  soon  encir- 
cled the  globe." 


MODEL  LEAGUE  TO  MEET 
ON  CAMPUS 

The  Model  League  Assembly  of 
the  Middle  Atlantic  states  will  con- 
vene on  the  Bucknell  campus  April 
13,  14,  and  15,  with  delegations 
from  30  Eastern  colleges  expected 
to  attend. 

Assignment  of  student  delega- 
tions to  present  the  views  of  differ- 
ent nations  has  already  been  an- 
nounced by  Lewis  Coren,  Bucknell 
senior  and  secretary-general  of  the 
Assembly.  Bucknell  will  represent 
Eire. 

More  than  200  college  students 
and  faculty  members  will  come  to 
Lewisburg  during  the  delibera- 
tions of  the  Assembly. 


The  BUCKNELL  ALUMNI  MONTHLY 


Cagers,  Boxers  Move 
Into  Davis  Gymnasium 


A  well-balanced  indoor  sports 
program  for  the  initial  sea- 
son in  the  new  John  Warren 
Davis  Gymnasium,  gradually  gain- 
ing momentum  this  month,  will 
reach  its  climax  March  17  and  18, 
when  the  eighth  annual  Eastern 
Intercollegiate  Boxing  Conference 
tournament  is  held  at  Bucknell. 

Several  of  the  East's  strongest 
ring  squads  will  come  to  Lewis- 
burg  for  the  tourney,  which  is  be- 
ing held  at  Bucknell  for  the  first 
time.  Completion  of  the  new  in- 
door sports  center  has  provided 
the  college  with  ample  facilities 
for  staging  the  event.  According 
to  present  plans,  the  semi-final 
round  will  be  held  Friday  evening, 
March  17,  with  the  finals  the  fol- 
lowing night. 

DOUBLE-HEADERS    SLATED 

Other  highlights  of  the  winter 
campaign  will  be  three  boxing- 
basketball  double-headers,  includ- 
ing the  twin  bill  on  January  14 
which  marked  the  beginning  of  in- 
tercollegiate competition  in  the 
gymnasium. 

Additional  bargain  attractions 
are  scheduled  for  February  24, 
when  Temple  and  Muhlenberg 
will  furnish  the  opposition  in  box- 
ing and  basketball,  respectively, 
and  for  March  3,  when  Western 
Maryland's  boxers  and  Elizabeth- 
town's  cagers  will  visit  the  campus. 

With  this  ambitious  program 
outlined,  both  the  basketball  and 
boxing  squads,  weakened  by  grad- 
uation losses,  face  a  difficult  strug- 
gle if  they  are  to  go  through  the 
season  with  successful  records. 

Seldom  in  Bucknell's  four  dec- 
ades of  basketball  have  the  season 
prospects  loomed  as  a  bigger  ques- 
tion mark  than  they  do  this  year. 
Embarking  on  a  15 -contest  sched- 
ule, the  Orange  and  Blue  passers 
will  present  a  lineup  in  which  ex- 
perienced men  will  be  definitely  in 
the  minority. 

Graduation  took  five  capable 
performers  from  the  squad  which 
won  eight  games  against  six  defeats 
last  season.  Among  this  quintet  of 
seniors  were  the  team's  three  high 
scorers,  Bill  Foltz,  Harold  Sager, 


and  Bob  Summers,  as  well  as  Joe 
Deegan  and  Leon  Kolanowski,  a 
pair  of  dependable  reserves. 

KIICK  LOST   TO  TEAM 

Then,  a  month  ago,  when  pre- 
season practice  had  been  under  way 
little  more  than  a  week,  misfor- 
tune struck  again.  George  Kiick, 
rugged  junior  guard  who  was  be- 
ing groomed  as  a  mainstay  of  the 
1939  five,  underwent  an  emergen- 
cy appendicitis  operation  which 
removed  him  from  action  for  the 
entire  campaign. 

With  Kiick  lost,  only  two  let- 
ter men  remain  as  a  nucleus  for 
this  year's  team.  They  are  Joe 
Diblin,  a  regular  guard  last  year, 
and  Bill  Lane,  who  substituted  at 
both  guard  and  forward.  Four 
other  holdovers  from  last  year's 
squad  —  Bill  Allen,  Glen  Eshel- 
man,  George  Lane,  and  Bob 
Smith  —  are  also  on  hand  this 
season. 

Faced  with  a  dearth  of  seasoned 
material.  Coach  Mai  Musser  has 
been  compelled  to  pin  his  hopes  on 


Ring  Tournament 
Here  This  Year 

sophomores.  Among  the  newcom- 
ers counted  upon  to  add  strength 
to  the  varsity  array  are  Joe  Buzas, 
a  reliable  guard  who  was  troubled 
by  an  ankle  injury  early  in  the 
winter;  Jack  Riley,  Bob  Nolan, 
George  Good,  Bill  Creveling, 
Ralph  Bush,  Ray  Armor,  Bill 
Crawford,  and  Bill  Johnson.  A 
senior,  Kenneth  Allen,  is  a  candi- 
date for  the  team  for  the  first  team. 

As  in  basketball,  so  in  boxing 
inexperience  is  the  factor  respon- 
sible for  most  of  the  furrows  in 
Coach  Joe  Reno's  brow.  The 
only  boxing  letter  men  are  Martin 
Quick,  conference  175-pound 
champion  the  past  two  years,  and 
Don  Walker,   145-pounder. 

However,  Reno  is  working  with 
a  squad  of  19  men,  and  Bison  ring 
fans  are  confidently  expecting  the 
mentor  to  produce  a  couple  of 
hand-tailored  champions  from 
raw,  untried  material.

METROPOLITAN 

Newark,  New  Jersey!  Essex 
House!  Seven  o'clock  on  the  even- 
ing of  December  2.  "The  room 
to  the  left  has  been  reserved  for 
Bucknell  alumni.  This  way, 
please."  And  we  found  ourselves 
in  the  midst  of  a  gay  and  friendly 
group  -  -  old  friends  and  new, 
alumni  of  Bucknell  and  their 
friends,  assembled  for  the  first  Jer- 
sey meeting  of  the  newly-  organ- 
ized Metropolitan  Bucknell  Alum- 
ni Association. 

After  a  social  hour,  W.  Cline 
Lowther,  '14,  newly-elected  presi- 
dent of  the  New  Jersey  division, 
called  the  meeting  to  order.  Sixty- 
one  were  present,  most  of  whom 
belonged  to  the  New  Jersey  di- 
vision. Bucknell  songs  during  din- 
ner set  the  stage  for  the  program, 
which  featured  Dr.  Robert  L. 
Sutherland,  dean  of  men  and  pro- 
fessor of  sociology. 

During  the  business  session  the 
president  outlined  the  year's  pro- 
gram. Coming  events  include  a 
Glee  Club  concert  in  New  York  in 
February,  a  meeting  in  New  Jersey 
March  3  with  younger  New  Jersey 
alumni  in  charge;  a  special  speaker 
meeting  in  New  Jersey  May  5,  and 
an  old-fashioned  picnic  in  New 
Jersey  sometime  in  June. 

The  executive  committee  has 
many  other  plans  —  a  placement 
bureau  for  graduates  is  already 
functioning  in  a  small  way  and 
promises  to  grow:  the  scholarship 
fund  is  increasing  and  scholarships 
will  soon  be  available. 

In  his  report  Dr.  E.  C.  Kunkle, 
'97,  chairman  of  the  scholarship 
committee  recommended  in  ac- 
cordance with  sentiment  expressed 
at  the  meeting  of  October  21  the 
membership  on  the  committee  be 
increased  to  nine,  at  least  two  of 
whom  shall  be  women.  He  an-

Commission  investigation  will  be 
nearing  the  end  of  its  fourth  year. 

At  Texas  the  former  Bucknell 
executive  will  succeed  Dr.  H.  Y. 
Benedict,  who  died  in  May,  1937. 
He  will  also  be  returning  to  his 
native  state. 

Dr.  Rainey  was  graduated  from 
Austin  College  at  Sherman,  Tex- 
as, in  1919  and  became  an  in- 
structor at  the  College  in  the  same 
year,  remaining  on  the  faculty  un- 
til 1922.  In  1923  he  obtained 
his  M.A.  degree  at  the  University 
of  Chicago  and  in  1924  the  Ph.D. 
from  the  same  institution.  LL.D.'s 
have  been  awarded  him  by  Austin 
College,  Dennison  University  and 
Washington  and  Jefferson  College. 

From  1924  to  1926  he  was  as- 
sociate professor  of  education  at 
the  University  of  Oregon,  after 
which  he  was  appointed  president 
of  Franklin  College  at  Franklin, 
Ind.  After  serving  there  for  four 
years,  he  became  president  of  Buck- 
nell.   He  is  42  years  old. 

During  his  four-year  tenure  at 
Bucknell,  Dr.  Rainey  played  an 
important  role  in  shaping  the  Uni- 
versity's curriculum  and  policies  in 
accord  with  modern  trends  in  high- 
er education.  While  he  was  presi- 
dent the  present  plan  of  two  years 
of  broad,  general  education,  fol- 
lowed by  two  years  of  specialized 
study,  was  introduced. 


SCHOLARSHIP  INCREASED 

The  Jennie  Sassaman  Robinson 
scholarship  fund  has  been  increased 
by  $1,000,  according  to  a  bequest 
revealed  when  the  will  of  the  late 
Mrs.  Jennie  S.  Robinson,  of  Ge- 
neva, N.  Y.,  was  admitted  to  pro- 
bate. The  scholarship  was  origin- 
ally established  to  aid  Milton  High 
School  graduates. 


WINGS  OVER  THE  PACIFIC 

Wings  Over  the  Pacific,  by 
Lewis  E.  Theiss,  '02.  W.  A.  Wilde 
Company,    Boston.    1938. 

With  this  volume  Dr.  Theiss 
continues  his  series  of  boys'  books 
which  represent  an  interesting 
union  of  exciting  adventure  and 
factual  information  concerning 
aviation.  Describing  a  diplomatic 
mission  carried  out  by  intrepid 
Ginger  Hale,  senior  pilot  of  Pan- 
American  Airways,  the  story  sets 
forth  the  entire  technique  of  trans- 
Pacific  flight,  with  descriptions  of 
the  great  clipper  ship,  the  island 
ports  en  route,  the  ocean,  its 
storms,  and  all  the  striking  char- 
acteristics of  a  flight  from  America 
to  the  Far  East. 

THE  PHILIPPINES 

Science  and  Modern  Progress  in 
the  Philippines,  by  Marshall  Lloyd 
Dunn  and  Gilbert  S.  Perez,  '07. 
Progressive  Schoolbooks,  Manila. 
1938. 

Another  picture  of  the  Far  East 
is  offered  in  this  book,  prepared 
to  give  Filipino  students  an  idea 
of  the  way  in  which  scientific 
methods  may  be  utilized  to  build 
a  "nobler  and  more  progressive 
civilization"  in  the  Philippine  Is- 
lands. Mr.  Perez,  who  has  a  son, 
Robert  C.  Perez,  '40,  at  Bucknell 
now,  is  superintendent  of  voca- 
tional education  for  the  Bureau  of 
Education,  with  headquarters  at 
Manila.  He  and  his  associate  have 
given  Filipino  children  a  handy 
guide  to  the  promise  modern  prog- 
ress holds  out  to  their  native  land. 
Especially  interesting  is  the  chapter 
on  "Living  Well  Together". 

ADULT  EDUCATION 

Adult  Education  Courses  of 
Study:  An  Appraisal,  by  Andrew 
Hendrickson,  '25,  Bureau  of  Pub- 
lications, Teachers  College,  Co- 
lumbia University,   1938. 

This  pamphlet,  the  first  of  a 
series  of  occasional  papers  to  be 
published  on  the  subject  by  Teach- 
ers College,  is  the  result  of  a  com- 
prehensive investigation  of  exist- 
ing curricula   for  adult  education. 


Mr.  Hendrickson,  head  of  the  Eng- 
lish department  of  Bogota,  N.  J., 
High  School,  has  been  granted 
leave  of  absence  from  February  1 
to  July  1  this  year,  to  complete 
work  for  a  Ph.D.  at  Columbia. 
His  booklet  points  out  the  need  for 
choosing  administrators  and  teach- 
ers in  adult  education  projects,  not 
on  traditional  bases,  but  on  the 
basis  of  their  aptitude  for  a  task 
which  requires  particular  qualifi- 
cations.

Association,  is  to  be  special  treasur- 
er of  the  fund.  He  made  a  plea 
for  immediate  contributions  and 
pledges  and  stated  that  with  an 
adequate  fund  it  is  the  aim  of  the 
committee  to  have  not  one  schol- 
arship student,  but  several  in  each 
class. 

With  seventy  active  members 
after  its  two  initial  meetings,  the 
Metropolitan  Association  hopes  to 
enroll  all  nine  hundred  alumni  in 
the  New  York  area  before  the  end

Year's  Gifts 
Total  $625,000 

Benefactions  to  Bucknell  dur- 
ing 1938  aggregated  $625,000, 
President  Arnaud  C.  Marts  said 
on  December  1 7  as  he  announced 
new  gifts  of  $175,000.  The  an- 
nouncement was  made  at  the  semi- 
annual meeting  of  the  Board  of 
Trustees  in  the  Bellevue-Stratford 
Hotel,  Philadelphia,  with  Judge 
J.  Warren  Davis,  '96,  chairman 
of  the  Board,  presiding. 

William  R.  White,  '26,  super- 
intendent of  banks  in  New  York 
state,  and  John  Langdon  Jones, 
of  the  University  of  Pennsylvania, 
were  elected  to  the  Board  of  Trus- 
tees for  four-year  terms  at  the  ses- 
sion. 

Mr.  White,  named  last  year  by 
the  New  York  Young  Men's 
Board  of  Trade  as  "New  York's 
Young  Man  of  the  Year",  was 
appointed  superintendent  of  banks 
in  January,  1936.  Aged  thirty- 
two  at  the  time,  he  was  the  young- 
est superintendent  to  take  office 
since  the  department  was  organized 
in  1851.  He  joined  the  banking 
department  as  assistant  counsel  in 
1930. 

Mr.  Jones,  who  teaches  Ro- 
mance languages  at  Penn,  is  well 
known  as  an  authority  on  Ameri- 
can  and  Pennsylvania  poetry. 

DEBT  CUT  IN  HALF 

The  recent  gifts  of  $175,000, 
all  made  within  the  six  weeks  pre- 
ceding the  December  meeting,  will 
be  "used  towards  retiring  the  Uni- 
versity's capital  indebtedness, 
which  was  incurred  from  1 0  to 
1 5  years  ago  for  the  purpose  of 
building  our  stadium,  a  women's 
dormitory,  and  other  college  build- 
ings", President  Marts  explained. 

"These  gifts  cut  Bucknell's  debt 
in  half  and  we  hope  to  cancel  the 
entire  debt  during  the  next  few 
months,"  he  said.  "When  that  is 
done,  we  shall  undertake  to  build 
a  new  library,  as  our  present  li- 
brary building  is  now  sadly  over- 
crowded by  our  collection  of  90,- 
000  volumes." 


NEW  TRUSTEES 


William  R.  White,  '26 

MEN  TO  HAVE 
DINING  ROOM 

A  college  dining  room  for  about 
fifty  men  will  be  opened  on  the 
campus  next  September,  University 
officials  have  announced.  Decision 
to  establish  the  new  service  for 
men  was  prompted  by  requests 
from  many  parents  of  entering 
freshmen  who  wish  to  know  in 
advance  that  their  sons  will  be 
privileged  to  take  their  meals  in  a 
dining  room  under  college  super- 
vision. 

Tha  new  men's  commons  will 
not  compete  with  fraternity  houses, 
but  will  be  planned  on  a  scale  to 
provide  for  only  forty  to  fifty  stu- 
dents, the  number  estimated  as 
necessary  to  meet  the  special  re- 
quests that  come  regularly  from 
parents. 


HONORS  WON 
BY  BUCKNELLIAN 

Winning  one  second  place  and 
three  thirds,  The  Bucknellian,  stu- 
dent weekly  newspaper,  made  a  fine 
showing  in  the  fall  competition  of 
the  Intercollegiate  Newspaper  As- 
sociation of  the  Middle  Atlantic 
states.  The  Bucknellian  was  the 
only  publication  with  a  circulation 
of  more  than  1,050  to  receive 
mention  in  all  four  categories  of 
judging.

MARTS  URGES  AMLUNI 
CHECK  SELF-EDUCATION 

Do  college  graduates  and  educa- 
tion part  company  at  Commence- 
ment? 

With  this  question  in  mind, 
President  Marts  has  invited  the 
men  and  women  who  received  di- 
plomas from  the  college  since  he 
became  its  head  three  years  ago  to 
evaluate  the  progress  of  their  self- 
education  since  they  left  the  cam- 
pus. 

In  a  letter  which  went  to  700 
graduates  in  the  classes  of  1936, 
1937,  and  1938,  Mr.  Marts  asked 
this  group  of  recent  alumni  to 
make  a  personal  check  on  the  ex- 
tent to  which  they  have  maintained 
during  their  post-college  years  the 
intellectual  interests  fostered  on  the 
campus. 

As  an  aid  to  self-education 
Bucknell's  president  has  offered  to 
send  to  each  recent  graduate,  as  a 
personal  gift,  a  copy  of  Dr.  Albert 
Edward  Wiggam's  book,  "The 
Marks  of  an  Educated  Man".  Dr. 
Wiggam,  noted  writer  on  scientific 
topics,  has  spoken  at  Bucknell 
twice  during  the  past  year. 

Two  hundred  twenty-five  alum- 
ni, accepting  Mr.  Marts'  offer,  have 
received  copies  of  the  book.

The  BUCKNELL  ALUMNI  MONTHLY 


Address  by  Warfel,  '20, 
Recalls  World  War  Days 


A  picture  of  "The  Lost  Gen- 
eration Twenty  Years 
Later"  was  presented  at  the 
University  chapel  service  Novem- 
ber 10,  in  an  Armistice  Day  ad- 
dress by  Harry  R.  Warfel,  '20, 
professor  of  English  at  the  Uni- 
versity of  Maryland. 

Recalling  the  hectic  days  when 
America's  entrance  into  the  World 
War  overturned  campus  routine, 
Dr.  Warfel  also  set  forth  the 
change  in  the  philosophy  of  youth 
wrought    by   the   War   experience. 

Immediately  after  the  United 
States  declared  war,  Dr.  Warfel 
said,  "Drums  beat  and  bugles 
called.  Khaki  uniforms  dotted 
the  campus.  A  dozen  or  more 
boys,  five  of  them  new  recruits, 
left  with  the  National  Guard 
troop.  Fifteen  men  organized  the 
Bucknell  Volunteer  Company  and 
began  to  drill  daily  on  the  campus 
Dr.  Llewellyn  Phillips  elec- 
trified us  with  an  address  on  'The 
Moral  Issues  of  President  Wilson's 
War  Message'. 

AMBULANCE  UNITS 
ORGANIZED 

"In  May,  1917,  thirty-five  stu- 
dents left  for  Fort  Niagara.    Later 


came  a  call  for  the  organization  of 
ambulance  units  for  service  with 
the  army  overseas.  Not  one  but 
two  such  units  were  formed,  SSU 
524  and  SSU  525.  In  the  library 
among  the  trophies  hangs  the  ba- 
ton containing  the  ribbons  and  the 
palm  of  the  French  Croix  de  Guer- 
re, symbolical  of  the  heroism  of 
Bucknellians  throughout  the  ser- 
vice   .  .  . 

"The  new  year  found  a  strag- 
gling few  back  at  college  The 
girls  knitted  sweaters,  rolled  band- 
ages, made  clothes  for  orphaned 
children.  Some  of  us,  led  by  Guy 
Payne  and  Professor  W.  G.  Ow- 
ens, worked  in  the  Milton  muni- 
tions factory  and  tried  to  carry  on 
in  classes,  too." 

After  describing  post-War  be- 
wilderment and  disillusionment, 
Dr.  Warfel  concluded,  "Today, 
therefore,  'The  Lost  Generation' 
deserves  the  adjective  largely  be- 
cause it  was  lost  and  has  found 
itself,  because  it  has  learned  that 
mere  idealism  on  the  one  hand  or 
mere  complaint  about  conditions 
on  the  other  will  get  us  absolutely 
nowhere." 


Father's  Association  Proves 
Active  at  University  this  Year 


In  active  cooperation  with  alum- 
ni groups  this  year  is  the  first 
Bucknell  Fathers'  Association,  cre- 
ated for  the  purpose  of  giving  the 
fathers  of  present  students  an  op- 
portunity to  become  acquainted 
with  each  other,  to  become  more 
intimately  informed  about  the  edu- 
cational work  and  campus  life  of 
the  University  and  to  collaborate 
with  the  University  in  making  the 
best  possible  atmosphere  for  the 
work  and  life  of  their  sons  and 
daughters. 

Organized  by  75  fathers  at  a 
special  luncheon  last  Fathers'  Day, 
the  Association  has  two  groups  of 
officers,  an  advisory  committee 
and  a  group  of  executive  officials. 
The  executive  leaders  are  Joseph 
D.  McKee,  Montclair,  N.  J.,  presi- 
dent; James  Tyson,  '11,  Phila- 
delphia, vice-president;  Charles  A. 
Fry  ling,  '13,  Sunbury,  secretary; 
Thomas  Wood,  '05,  Muncy,  treas- 
urer. 


Advisory  committee  members 
are  E.  A.  Snyder,  '11,  South  Or- 
ange, N.  J.:  Fred  O  Schnure,  '14, 
Sparrows  Point.  Md. :  Dr.  Walter 
F.  Wood,  Mickleton,  N.  J.;  Char- 
les F.  Askey,  Williamsport;  C.  H. 
Willich,  New  York  City;  Francis 
Lybarger  and  Robert  L.  Suther- 
land, of  Bucknell. 

Invitation  to  join  the  Associa- 
tion has  been  sent  to  the  fathers 
of  all  students,  and  there  has  been 
a  very  gratifying  response. 

Mr.  McKee,  president  of  the  As- 
sociation, visited  the  campus  Mon- 
day, January  9,  to  meet  with  of- 
ficers of  the  Lewisburg  area.  At 
that  meeting  arrangements  were 
made  for  the  appointment  of  spe- 
cial committees  to  cooperate  active- 
ly with  the  University  in  matters 
concerning  student  welfare,  to  in- 
crease the  membership  of  the 
group,  and  to  take  care  of  arrange- 
ments for  the  Fathers'  Day  Ban- 
quet. 


RETIREMENT  PENSION 
PLAN  ADOPTED 

At  the  beginning  of  the  second 
semester  the  Carnegie  system  of 
retirement  pensions  for  college 
teachers  will  go  into  operation  at 
Bucknell.  Participation  in  the 
plan  will  be  voluntary  for  the 
present  faculty,  but  will  be  com- 
pulsory for  future  teachers. 

Adoption  of  the  system  came  in 
response  to  a  request  from  mem- 
bers of  the  faculty  that  the  Board 
of  Trustees  authorize  a  joint  con- 
tributory plan  whereby  each  fac- 
ulty member  will  contribute  five 
per  cent  of  his  salary  every  month 
to  the  retirement  fund,  with  the 
University  supplying  a  like 
amount. 

The  plan  will  be  operated 
through  the  Teachers  Annuity  and 
Insurance  Association  of  America, 
an  organization  made  possible 
through  a  gift  of  $25,000,000  by 
Andrew  Carnegie.  Bucknell  is  the 
143th  leading  educational  institu- 
tion to  adopt  the  plan  since  the  As- 
sociation was  established  with  the 
aid  of  the  Carnegie  Foundation 
grant.

"From  the  Baptists  in  Massachusettts  he 
evoked  an  extraordinary  warmth  of  af- 
fectionate response  to  his  gracious  per- 
sonality. He  earned  and  enjoyed  the 
confidence  of  a  multitude  of  people.  We 
remember  both  his  wisdom  and  his  wit. 
He  brought  joy  with  him  wherever  he 
went.  He  enjoyed  his  religion  and  taught 
us   the   Christian    art    of    happiness."

A  pioneer  in  the  growing  force  of 
Bucknell  airplane  pilots  is  Frederick  S. 
Angstadt.  who  for  the  past  ten  years  has 
been  flying  air  mail  for  the  United  Air 
Lines.  On  the  Newark-Chicago  route  for 
seven  years,  he  has  been  assigned  to  the 
Chicago-Cheyenne  run  more  recently.  He 
has   flown   more   than    a    million    miles. 

Captain  Angstadt  —  he's  a  captain  of 
the  United  Air  Lines  and  also  of  the 
United  States  Marine  Corps  Reserve  — 
has  seen  many  changes  since  he  entered 
aviation.  "When  I  first  started,"  he 
writes,  "we  had  low-flying,  slow  planes 
and  many  times  cleared  the  giant  trees  of 
the  Bucknell  campus  by  only  hundreds  of 
feet;  later  on.  with  the  coming  of  higher- 
powered,  larger,  supercharged  planes,  we 
flew  higher  and  higher,  until  now  we  fly 
ten  or  twelve  thousand  feet  above  the 
ground." 

As  a  captain  on  one  of  the  twelve-ton 
"Mainliners"  used  by  United  on  its  Chi- 
cago-Cheyenne division,  Captain  Ang- 
stadt is  sure  that  he  occasionally  flies 
Bucknell  alumni,  and  says  he'll  be  happy 
to  make  their  acquaintance  when  they 
board  his  plane. 

Married  13  years.  Captain  and  Mrs. 
Angstadt  have  no  children.  His  address

port.   Chicago.    111.

A  workshop  dedicated  to  hand  metal  - 
craftsmanship,  particularly  metalwork  of 
Revolutionary  War  pattern,  has  been 
built  at  Iona.  N.  J. :  by  Donald  Streeter. 
There  he  and  his  younger  brother,  Guy, 
live,  and  work  with  the  forges  and  an- 
tique blacksmith's  tools  used  in  making 
early  American  hardware,  lighting  fix- 
tures, fireplace  irons,  and  decorative  metal- 
work. 

The  Streeters'  "smithy",  described  in 
a  feature  article  by  Allen  Will  Harris  in 
the  Philadelphia  Evening  Bulletin,  was  as 
nearly  handmade  as  possible.  "I  bought 
a  half-acre  of  forest  and  swamp,  planned 
a  replica  of  a  yesteryear  smithy  and  began 
building,"  Donald  Streeter  explained. 
For  the  workshop  the  brothers  used  cedar 
from  their  backyard,  window  frames  from 
a  150-year  old  Vineland  home,  hand- 
made nails,  old  sidewalk  bricks  for  the 
floors,    and    hand-blown    glass    windows. 

"Guy  and  I  will  make  nothing  that 
can  be  done  by  machine."  said  Donald, 
who  studied  at  the  Pennsylvania  Academy 
of  Fine  Arts  and  the  School  of  Industrial 
Art  after  leaving   Bucknell.

Editors  Corner 

DEMOCRACY  may  be  hard-pressed  in 
some  parts  of  the  world,  but  you 
can  still  do  your  bit  for  representa- 
tive government  by  marking  your  selec- 
tion for  Alumni  Trustees  on  the  ballot 
included  with  this  issue  of  the  Alumni 
Monthly  and  mailing  it  to  the  Alumni 
Trustee  Nomination  Committee.  Make 
the  most  of  your  alumni  citizenship  by 
helping  to  choose  the  persons  who  repre- 
sent you  on  the  Board  of  Trustees. 


HERE'S  a  hearty  hand  of  welcome  to 
two  comparative  youngsters  in  the 
family  of  those  working  for  the 
welfare  of  Bucknell.  Still  in  their  first 
year,  both  the  Mother's  and  Father's  As- 
sociations have  shown  genuine  devotion  to 
the  task  of  building  an  even  better  Buck- 
nell. At  the  moment  the  Mother's  Asso- 
ciation is  taking  the  lead  in  planning  the 
program  for  Mother's  Day,  May  1  2  to  14. 
At  its  January  executive  committee  ses- 
sion, the  Father's  Association  adopted  a 
program  of  action  that  would  do  credit 
to  any  federation  of  alumni.  We're  speak- 
ing for  all  alumni  when  we  express  our 
appreciation  for  the  interest  these  new 
groups  are  taking  in  Alma  Mater. 


UTTOUK C 

Y  lined  new  Alumni  Directory  which 
your  interest  will  help  to  guarantee, 
comes  closer  to  reality  with  the  arrival  of 
the  morning  mail  each  day  in  the  Alumni 
Office.  To  date  orders  representing  well 
over  a  thousand  dollars  have  been  received, 
together  with  scores  of  comments  hailing 
the  project.  Before  the  linotype  man  be- 
gins setting  the  up-to-date  information  on 
you  and  your  classmates,  however,  there 
must  be  2,500  advance  orders  at  one  dollar 
each,  1.250  orders  at  two  dollars  each,  or 
enough  individual  contributions  to  defray 
the  cost  of  publication.  Take  a  long  look 
at  the  preview  of  "Your  College  Friends" 
printed  on  the  back  cover  of  the  Alumni 
Monthly,  and  let  your  curiosity  be  your 
guide.  Incidentally,  if  you  haven't  yet 
filled  out  and  returned  the  information 
blank  which  provides  raw  material  for  the 
new  Directory,  interview  yourself  today 
and  send  us  the  data. 


WHILE  we're  in  a  bookish  mood, 
we'd  like  to  call  your  atten- 
tion to  a  special  alumni  offer  made 
by  1939  L' Agenda.  To  alumni  the  year- 
book will  be  sold  for  $3.50,  the  same 
price  as  that  which  students  are  assessed 
out  of  their  activities  fund.  In  return  for 
a  check  or  money  order  made  payable  to 
1939  L' Agenda,  a  yearbook  will  be  mailed 
to  your  home  on  or  about  May  15.  Oh. 
yes,  we  may  be  giving  away  trade  secrets, 
but  it's  whispered  that  this  year's  annual 
will  spring  something  new  in  the  way  of 
complete  campus  picture  coverage. 


IF  you're  like  us,  you'll  do  a  bit  of 
mental  mulling  after  you  read  Julius 
Seebach's  comments  on  the  value  of  a 
college  education.  (See  page  4.)  Taking 
his  cue  from  remarks  he  made  during  a 
recent  radio  symposium,  Mr.  Seebach  sets 
forth  his  views  as  to  the  worthwhileness 
of  college  for  a  person  working  in  the

Dear  Friends: 

It  is  time  again  to  think  about  Commencement,  and  I  invite 
each  of  you,  who  can  and  will,  to  return  to  the  exercises  this  June. 
Alumni  Day  will  be  Saturday,  June  10,  Baccalaureate  Day  will  be 
Sunday.  June  1 1,  and  Commencement  Day  falls  on  Monday,  June 

12. 

I  sincerely  hope  that  great  numbers  of  Bucknellians  will  return 
on  those  days  for  the  double  purposes  of  bringing  to  Alma  Mater 
the  infusion  of  new  vitality  and  stimulus  which  your  presence  on 
the  campus  means  to  us,  and  of  renewing  your  aspirations  toward 
nobler  living  which  the  College-on-the-Hill  always  awakens  in  the 
minds  and  spirits  of  her  sons  and  daughters. 

I  invite  you  also  to  the  Annual  Meeting  of  the  Bucknell 
Friends  of  the  Library  which  will  be  held  here  on  Saturday  noon. 
May  6.  The  only  requirement  for  membership  in  this  Bucknell  so- 
ciety is  that  you  love  books.  An  excellent  program  for  the  Annual 
Meeting  is  being  planned,  and  you  are  cordially  invited  to  attend. 

You  will  be  interested  to  know  that  recently  a  great  friend  of 
Bucknell,  when  he  learned  that  a  thousand  new  books  were  needed 
in  the  Bucknell  Junior  College  Library,  gave  a  check  for  the  purchase 
of  them  all  and  thus  in  one  generous  stroke  brought  the  Junior  Col- 
lege's collection  of  books  up  to  the  full  requirement  of  library 
standards. 

On  Saturday,  May  13.  our  women  students  will  present  their 
annual  Spring  Festival  and  will  crown  their  May  Queen.  Mother's 
Day  is  combined  with  the  program  of  that  week-end  and  we  are  ex- 
pecting hundreds  of  mothers  of  our  present  students  on  our  campus 
at  that  time.  I  invite  you,  also,  to  visit  Lewisburg  for  this  beautiful 
and  colorful  ceremony. 

With  kindest  regards, 

Yours  for  Bucknell,

'Where  Two  or 

Three 
Gather  Together 


e)     Time   for    discussion  at  the  C.  A.  recreation  center. 


This  is  the  second  in  a  series  of 
articles  chronicling  changes  which 
have  taken  place  during  the  years 
in  fundamental  phases  of  college 
life. 


EIGHTY-NINE  years  ago  this 
past  January  a  little  group  of 
serious-minded  students  gath- 
ered in  the  Academy  Building 
(now  Taylor  Hall)  of  the  Uni- 
versity at  Lewisburg  to  talk  over 
the  part  they  should  play  in  the 
religious  life  of  their  four-year-old 
college. 

Aware  that  the  University  owed 
its  very  existence  to  the  religious 
devotion  of  a  far-seeing  band  of 
Northumberland  Baptists,  these 
young  men  formally  joined  to- 
gether in  a  Society  for  Inquiry, 
Bucknell's  first  student  Christian 
organization.  This  was  on  Jan- 
uary 6,  1850,  and  since  that  day 
the  religious  spirit  has  provided  the 
one  continuous  thread  in  the  shift- 
ing tapestry  of  student  activities. 

Judged  by  present-day  stand- 
ards, the  work  of  the  early  Society 
for  Inquiry  does  not  seem  particu- 
larly dramatic,  as  it  is  recorded  in 
the  annals  of  the  period.  The 
members,  many  of  them  prepar- 
ing for  the  ministry,  carried  on 
much  correspondence  with  other 
colleges  and  with  missionaries.  One 
of  the  first  corresponding  secre- 
taries of  the  Society  was  Robert 
Lowry,  '54,  who  attained  fame 
as  a  hymn-writer. 

CHURCH-GOING   COMPULSORY 

The  task  of  maintaining  the 
proper  religious  atmosphere  on  the 
campus  was  not  left  to  the  devout 
members  of  the  Society  for  In- 
quiry. The  college  administration 
took  an  active,  almost  militant,  in- 
terest in  fostering  the  spiritual  wel- 
fare of  its  students.  In  the  early 
days  church  attendance  was  com- 
pulsory, and  students  paid  an  an- 
nual pew  rent  of  three  dollars. 
In  March,  1868,  Dr.  George  R. 
Bliss  baptized  59  student  converts 
in  the  Susquehanna  River.  About 
the  same  time  Phi  Kappa  Psi  fra- 


ternity replaced  its  regular  chapter 
session  with  a  prayer  meeting. 

With  this  heritage  it  is  not  sur- 
prising that  today  religion  remains 
a  dominant  student  interest  at 
Bucknell,  although  it  finds  its  out- 
let in  a  score  of  ways  far  different 
from  mass  conversions  and  com- 
pulsory church  attendance. 

Logically,  if  not  directly,  de- 
scended from  the  old  Society  for 
Inquiry  is  1939's  University 
Christian  Association,  formed  half 
a  dozen  years  ago  by  the  merger 
of  the  Y.  M.  C.  A.,  Y.  W.  C.  A., 
and  church  programs.  Known  on 
the  campus  as  the  "C.  A.",  this 
group  has  an  active  membership  of 
more  than  450,  and  serves  as  a 
hub  around  which  virtually  all 
Bucknell's  religious  activities  re- 
volve. 

FRESHMEN  ARE  AIDED 

Dedicated  to  developing  a  high 
character  of  campus  life,  as  well  as 
to  supplying  a  channel  for  spirit- 
ual growth,  the  C.  A.  sponsors 
Sunday  night  Student  Church  ser- 
vices with  outstanding  speakers, 
folk  dancing  parties,  forums  on 
contemporary  problems,  and  out- 
ings. It  helps  "break  in"  freshmen 
to  college  life  by  publishing  the 
Student  Handbook,  conducting  a 
Freshman  Camp  for  new  students 
prior  to  the  opening  of  college,  and 
organizing  a  Freshman  Supper 
Club. 


In  its  endeavor  to  enrich  campus 
life  through  wholesome  recreation- 
al opportunities,  the  Christian  As- 
sociation has  been  aided  in  the  last 
two  years  by  the  development  of  a 
28-acre  recreational  center  at  Co- 
wan, eight  miles  from  the  campus. 
Typical  scenes  at  the  Cowan  cen- 
ter, which  is  widely  used  for  out- 
ings, retreats,  and  conferences,  are 
pictured  on  this  page.  Eventually 
a  lodge  is  to  be  built  on  the  tract. 

Today's  Bucknell  students  do 
not  confine  the  work  of  their  reli- 
gious organizations  within  the 
boundaries  of  the  campus.  A  suave 
student  magician  makes  eggs  dis- 
appear to  the  amazement  of  a  gog- 
gle-eyed crowd  of  Lewisburg  chil- 
dren at  the  C.  A.'s  regular  Saturday 
morning  entertainment  for  town 
boys  and  girls.  Other  college  men 
and  women  gather  and  distribute 
used  clothing  for  the  needy,  and 
act  as  leaders  for  community  youth 
clubs  and  Scout  troops. 

Heading  this  broad  program  - 
and  a  dozen  other  important  activ- 
ities might  be  added  — ■  are  a  Stu- 
dent Executive  Committee  and  a 
Faculty  Advisory  Council.  T. 
Chubb  Condict,  son  of  the  Rev. 
E.  Carroll  Condict,  '08,  and 
brother  of  Clinton  A.  Condict. 
'37,  is  student  president  of  the 
Association.  Dr.  C.  H.  Richardson 
is  chairman  of  the  Advisory  Coun- 
cil, while  Forrest  D.  Brown  serves 
as  executive  secretary.

Seebach,  '20,  Speaks 
In  Radio  Forum

LX      perience  of  people  is  per- 
haps    the    greatest    thing 
that  remains  to  me  in  my  profes- 
sion from  my  college  years." 

The  speaker:  Julius  F.  Seebach, 
Jr.,  '20.  His  audience:  thousands 
of  radio  listeners  tuned  to  the  Uni- 
versity Life  symposium  of  the  Mu- 
tual Broadcasting  System  on  Sat- 
urday  afternoon,   February    11. 

Appearing  in  an  informal 
broadcast  "bull  -  session"  with 
Ralph  Johnston,  a  Bucknell  sen- 
ior, together  with  alumnus  and 
undergraduate  representatives  of 
Columbia  University  and  Wil- 
liams College,  Mr.  Seebach,  who  is 
director  of  program  operations  for 
station  WOR  of  the  Mutual 
Broadcasting  System,  provided  his 
own  answer  to  the  old  question. 
"Is  college  worth  while?" 

Removed  from  its  context  of 
running-fire  conversation,  Mr.  See- 
bach's  commentary  on  this  ques- 
tion, as  expanded  at  the  request 
of  the  Alumni  Monthly,  ran  some- 
thing like  this: 

"To  any  question  seeking  to 
discover  what  particular  use  my 
college  education  has  been  to  me  in 
professional  life,  I  am  obliged  to 
answer  rather  vaguely.  I  think 
this  must  always  be  the  case  ex- 
cept perhaps  in  the  engineering  and 
other  technical  courses.  I  took  the 
classical  course  of  the  kind  that 
has  practically  vanished  now.  In 
other  words,  my  A.B.  is  founded 
upon  Greek,  Latin,  modern  lan- 
guages, history,  and  an  absolute 
minimum  of  mathematics  and  scir 
ence.  Naturally  these  things  go  to 
form  a  background  of  general 
knowledge  and  an  interest  in  the 
Arts  rather  than  in  any  specific 
technique  or  profession. 

FOUND  JOKES  RECURRED 

"I  should  say  that  a  sometimes 
hard-won  experience  of  people  is 
perhaps  the  greatest  thing  that  re- 
mains to  me  in  my  profession  from 
my  college  years,  and  even  that  is 
mainly  in  furnishing  a  point  of 
reference.  For  example,  when  I 
went  into  the  Army,  I  found  cer- 
tain jokes  in  constant  use  with 
the  newcomers,  such  as  sending 
them  to  get  the  key  to  the  parade 
ground  or  a  bucket  of  reveille 
paint.      Later,   when   I   worked   in 


Julius  Seebach,  Jr..  '20 

shops,  I  found  men  sending  new- 
comers out  for  left-handed  monkey 
wrenches  or  sky  hooks,  and  re- 
alized that  each  different  kind  of 
work  has  its  classic  jokes  of  this 
kind.  I  was  able,  to  understand 
that  this  only  repeats  the  same  ten- 
dency that  causes  hazing  of  fresh- 
men in  college.  It  is  a  normal  and 
universal  habit  of  any  group  of 
men  bound  together  by  work  or 
association  to  try  each  newcomer 
to  find  out  what  are  the  limits  of 
his  patience  and  how  he  bears  him- 
self under  pressure. 

"Now  this  knowledge  in  itself 
is  perhaps  neither  profound  nor 
overwhelmingly  important.  Cer- 
tainly it  is  not  the  sum  total  of 
everything  that  one  can  learn  about 
people  in  college.  I  cite  it  only  as  a 
single  example  of  the  fact  that  one 
begins  to  learn  how  people  react 
as  individuals  on  their  own  re- 
sources during  their  college  years, 
and  that  a  person  with  a  memory 
and  the  power  of  analysis  can  ob- 
tain considerable  value  from  such 
observation,  even  though  at  the 
time  it  may  be  subconscious. 

TRAINING  IS  DIFFICULT 

"In  the  last  analysis,  I  believe 
that  it  is  very  difficult  to  train 
people  to  work  in  the  creative  arts 
by  means  of  college  courses,  and 
that  the  capacity  to  work  with 
ideas,  and  people  with  ideas,  comes 


almost  exclusively  from  within, 
rather  than  from  without.  This  is 
primarily  true  because  one  is  deal- 
ing not  with  hard  and  cold  facts, 
but  with  personalities:  an  interest 
and  curiosity  to  learn  their  ideas 
and  viewpoints  are  the  primary 
requisites.  And  then,  of  course, 
I  doubt  if  anyone  can  teach  judg- 
ment and  a  sense  of  proportion. 
These  are  not  factual,  they  are  not 
positive,  they  are  not  absolute.  I 
think  that  college  can  furnish  peo- 
ple with  these  qualifications  a 
chance  to  expand,  but  I  doubt  if 
anv  of  these  can  be  confined  within 
the  limits  of  course  or  of  a  text- 
book." 


During  his  broadcast  remarks 
Mr.  Seebach  also  reminisced  con- 
cerning the  changes  ex-soldiers 
found  at  Bucknell  when  they  re- 
turned from  the  War.  Prior  to  the 
War.  he  recalled,  the  most  im- 
portant social  event  of  the  year 
was  the  College  Girls'  Reception, 
at  which  there  was  no  dancing. 
"Upon  our  return  from  France." 
he  said,  "the  entire  viewpoint  as 
to  social  life  had  changed.  It  had 
assumed  the  form  which,  with 
some  modifications,  it  retains  until 
this  day." 


Before  entering  the  broadcasting 
field,  Mr.  Seebach  taught  French 
in  high  schools  at  Rochester,  N.  Y., 
and  Jersey  City,  N.  J.  In  Novem- 
ber. 1925,  he  joined  the  staff  of 
Station  WOR,  Newark,  as  an- 
nouncer. Becoming  affiliated  with 
the  Columbia  Broadcasting  Sys- 
tem in  1928  as  a  continuity  writer, 
he  was  made  program  director  of 
CBS  in  the  fall  of  that  year.  Two 
years  later  his  duties  were  enlarged, 
and  he  became  director  of  program 
operations.  In  June,  1935,  Mr. 
Seebach  returned  to  WOR  as  di- 
rector of  program  operations. 


(How  do  Mr.  Seebach s  com- 
ments on  the  value  of  a  college 
education  square  with  your  exper- 
ience in  your  profession?  The 
Alumni  Monthly  will  be  glad  to 
receive  and  to  publish  viewpoints 
on  that  question  from  Bucknell 
men  and  women  in  other  vocation- 
al fields. — Editor's  Note.)

Friends  of  the  Library 
To    Convene   May    6 


Author  and  Critic 
To  Give  Addresses 


Heartened  by  the  announcement 
that  a  new  Library  is  the  next  item 
on  Bucknell's  construction  pro- 
gram following  the  completion  of 
the  Engineering  Building,  the 
Friends  of  the  Bucknell  Library 
will  convene  in  Lewisburg  Satur- 
day. May  6.  for  their  third  annual 
meeting. 

Speakers  for  the  occasion  will  be 
Dr.  Harry  R.  Warfel.  '20.  author 
and  literary  historian,  and  Mrs. 
George  E.  Barnes,  of  Phil- 
adelphia, a  well-known  lecturer 
and  literary  critic. 

"All  alumni  and  lovers  of  books 
who  are  interested  in  a  bigger  and 
better  library  for  Bucknell  are  cor- 
dially invited  to  attend  this  lunch- 
eon-meeting." Norman  E.  Henry.

luncheon,  for  which  there  will  be 
a  charge  of  75  cents,  and  a  brief 
business  session.  Dr.  Warfel,  who 
is  now  teaching  at  the  University 
of  Maryland,  will  speak  on  "The 
Flavor  of  America",  basing  his  re- 
marks on  his  forth-coming  Amer- 
ican Local  Color  Stories.  Mrs. 
Barnes'  lecture  topic  will  be  "Cur- 
rent Books". 

Gradually  developing  into  an  in- 
creasingly valuable  adjunct  of  the 
University  Library,  the  Friends  of 
the  Library  issue  an  occasional 
publication,  Bibliqtheca  Bucnel- 
lensis.  edited  by  Mr.  Henry.  Dr. 
Robert  M.  Steele,  '08.  is  secretary- 
treasurer  of  the  organization,  and

Grow  Sugar  in  the  Parlor? 
Bucknell  Graduate  Tells  How 


Now  you  can  grow  your  own 
sugar  in  the  parlor  or  among  the 
window  plants,  according  to  a  re- 
cent discovery  by  a  Bucknell  alum- 
na specializing  in  the  field  of  plant 
physiology  who  reported  her  find- 
ings at  the  meeting  of  the  Ameri- 
can Association  for  the  Advance- 
ment of  Science  in  Richmond.  Ya. 

The  fact  that  a  variety  of  sugar 
can  be  developed  by  careful  cultiva- 
tion of  impatiens  sultana,  a  com- 
mon tropical  plant  better  known 
as  sultana,  periwinkle,  or  balsam. 
was  announced  by  Dr.  Miriam  G. 
Groner.  '31.  daughter  of  the  late 
Dr.  O.  S.  Groner.  professor  of 
chemistry  at  Bucknell. 

The  sweet  substance  which 
forms  on  the  plant  tastes  just  like 
the  granules  you  stir  into  your 
morning  coffee. 

In  the  past  the  sugar  possibilities 
of  the  plant  have  gone  unnoticed, 
because  insects,  rain,  or  even  dew 
have  removed  the  sugar  before  it 
was  fully  formed.    But  nurture  the 


plant  carefully,  and  a  sort  of 
sticky  sap  runs  to  the  under  side 
of  stems,  particularly  the  stems  of 
leaves. 

If  not  molested  these  drops  en- 
large and  turn  white,  as  shown  in 
the  accompanying  photograph.  If 
they  are  sheltered  from  dust,  the 
granules  are  clean.  Dr.  Groner's 
chemical  analysis  shows  that  they 
are  composed  of  sucrose,  a  form  of 
sugar,  with  a  good  possibility  that 
dextrose  may  also  be  present.  No 
bad  effects  from  eating  them  have 
been  found.  Production  of  this 
sugar  would  not  be  sufficient  to 
compete  with  the  commercial  pro- 
duct. 

Dr.  Groner's  plant  discovery 
was  widelv  publicized  throughout 
the  country  in  dispatches  by  How- 
ard W.  Lakeslee,  Associated  Press 
science  editor  and  other  newspaper- 
men covering  the  A.  A.  A.  S.  ses- 
sions. Dr.  Groner  modestly  dis- 
claims credit  for  the  discovery,  on 
which   she   worked   for   a   year    in 


GIFTS  ANNOUNCED 
Valuable  recent  additions  to  the 
Library,  as  reported  by  Bibliotheca 
Bucnellensis.  have  come  from 
Frank  W.  Dillon.  '98.  Dr.  F.  G. 
Ballentine.  '99.  E.  A.  Snyder.  '11. 
Julia  A.  Olney,  Rev.  Fred  B.  Igler, 
'12.  Henry  Wells.  Jr..  Thirza  M. 
Bromley.  '20.  and  the  late  Dr. 
Emory  W  Hunt,  and  Miss  Eliza 
J.  Martin. 

Another  benefaction  to  the  Li- 
brary has  been  made  by  Professor 
Frank  M.  Simpson.  '95,  who.  re- 
alizing that  the  Library  has  in- 
sufficient funds  for  reclaiming  un- 
bound magazines,  has  offered  to 
defray  the  cost  of  binding  50  vol- 
umes. Numerous  other  unbound 
series  of  periodicals  remain  in  the 
Library  storage  rooms. 

The  January  issue  of  the  Bibli- 
otheca was  made  possible  through 
a  gift  from  Louis  W.  Robey,  '04, 
assuring  money  for  the  publishing 
costs. 


This  photograph  of  impatiens 
sultana  shows  the  "sugar" 
formed  on  the  stems  of  the  plant 

Bucknell's  botany  and  chemistry 
laboratories:  her  only  comment  is 
that  she  is  "surprised  nobody  ever 
bothered  to  report-  on  sultana's 
sugar  potentialities  before." 


The  Battling  Bison 
No  Longer  Hibernates 


THERE  have  been  years  when 
Bucknell's  intercollegiate  ath- 
letic program  vanished  abrupt- 
ly, along  with  the  oak  foliage  and 
white  sport  shoes,  about  the  end  of 
November,  immediately  after  the 
annual  scoreless  tie  with  Temple. 
It's  true  that  the  Bisons  patri- 
otically entered  teams  in  basket- 
ball, boxing,  track,  baseball,  and 
tennis,  but  sports  followers  palpi- 
tating for  Orange  and  Blue  vic- 
tories stoically  resigned  themselves 
to  the  long  wait  until  Labor  Day. 
If  winter  comes,  they  consoled 
themselves  as  icy  gales  swept  the 
broad  Buffalo  Valley,  can  spring, 
summer  and  September  be  far  be- 
hind? 

Now,  however,  the  winter- 
spring  sports  picture  is  gradually 
becoming  a  rosier  one.  With  Davis 
Gymnasium  as  an  arena  for  indoor 
athletic  competition,  basketball  and 
boxing  will  have  an  opportunity 
to  take  their  place  as  front-rank 
sports.  Add  to  this  the  fact  that 
prospects  for  successful  spring  cam- 
paigns are  better  than  ever,  and 
you'll  see  that  the  battling  Bison 
is  a  year-round  animal,  instead  of 
a  perverse  beast  addicted  to 
lengthy  intervals  of  hibernation. 

FROSH  FIVE  CLICKS 

Talk  of  the  campus  during  the 
winter  months  has  been  the  tal- 
ented freshman  basketball  team.  In 
their  first  10  games  the  Bison  year- 
lings scored  445  points  to  276  for 
their  opponents,  and  apparently 
nothing  short  of  a  court  injunc- 
tion can  stop  them  from  annexing 
the  Northeastern  Pennsylvania 
League  championship. 

The  Baby  Bisons  have  bowed 
twice,  dropping  a  three-point  deci- 
sion to  Penn  State's  frosh  at  State 
College,  but  promptly  retaliating 
when  the  Nittany  Lion  Cubs  vis- 
ited Lewisburg.  Their  other  set- 
back was  at  the  hands  of  Dickin- 
son Junior  College  in  the  second 
game  of  the  season.  Sparkplugs  of 
the  frosh  five,  which  is  coached  by 
Johnny  Sitarsky,  '36,  are  Fred 
Fahringer,  Jr.,  son  of  Fred  Fahr- 
inger,  '15,  and  Edwin  Glass,  son 
of  C.  E.  Glass,  '16. 

Meanwhile,  May  Musser's  var- 
sity quintet,  after  losing  seven  out 
of    its    first    nine    games,    righted 


itself  by  snatching  six  triumphs 
in  two  weeks,  and  ended  the 
campaign  at  the  .500  mark. 
During  the  early  stages  of  the  sea- 
son the  Bison  varsity  was  handi- 
capped by  the  absence  of  George 
Kiick,  rugged  guard  and  one  of 
three  lettermen  on  the  squad,  who 
underwent  an  appendectomy  in  De- 
cember. With  Kiick's  return  to  ac- 
tion in  mid-February  the  team 
showed  what,  in  Coach  Musser's 
eyes,  appeared  to  be  50  per  cent 
improvement. 

Also  above  average  is  this  year's 
crop  of  boxers,  who  are  the  hosts 
at  the  Eastern  Intercollegiate  Box- 
ing Conference  tournament  in 
Lewisburg  March  17  and  18.  De- 
feated by  Penn  State  and  C.  C.  N. 
Y.,  the  Bison  belters  have  downed 
West  Virginia,  Temple,  and  West- 
ern Maryland,  and  gained  a  4-4 
tie  with  Lock  Haven  State  Teach- 
ers College.  Troubled  throughout 
the  year  by  a  constantly-changing 
lineup,  Coach  Joe  Reno  hopes  to

Sports  Revived 

present  his  strongest  array  of  the 
year  in  the  tourney. 

VETERANS  ON  HAND 

As  the  baseball,  track,  and  ten- 
nis men  begin  their  drills,  more 
than  the  average  quota  of  seasoned 
performers  is  on  hand.  Missing 
from  last  year's  nine,  which  won 
seven  and  lost  four  for  Bucknell's 
best  record  in  several  seasons,  are 
outfielder  Harold  Sager,  second 
baseman  John  Dill,  first  baseman 
Edward  Quinn,  and  pitcher  Herb 
Bowman.  Capable  replacements 
are  available  in  most  of  the  spots. 

The  tennis  team,  still  hoarding 
the  1  3 -match  victory  string  assem- 
bled by  last  year's  undefeated  out- 
fit, will  be  fortified  by  three  veter- 
ans, George  MacCall  and  Emmett 
Steele,  Numbers  One  and  Two,  re- 
spectively, and  Charles  Dunham, 
as  well  as  by  two  able  freshmen, 
Dan  Richardson  and  Bill  Carson. 
In    difficulty,    however,    the    1939

Four  Aged  Alumni 
Called    by    Death 


Civil  War  Veteran 
Succumbs  at  95 


TWO  men  and  two  women  who 
were  among  the  oldest  of 
Bucknell's  7,000  alumni  have 
died  since  the  beginning  of  the 
year.  Three  were  nonagenarians, 
while  the  fourth  was  87  years  old. 

Oldest  of  the  four  veteran  Buck- 
nellians  who  passed  on  within  a 
month's  time  was  John  B.  Cooke, 
'73,  aged  95,  of  Philadelphia,  be- 
lieved to  have  been  the  last  sur- 
viving Bucknell  Civil  War  veteran. 
He  died  January  14  at  his  home 
in  Philadelphia. 

Early  in  February  he  was  fol- 
lowed in  death  by  Mrs.  Martha 
E.  Wolfe,  I. '63,  of  Laurelton,  Pa., 
who  was  91  years  old;  Mrs. 
Charles  P.  Smith,  1/69,  of  West 
Pittston,  Pa.,  who  died  on  her 
87th  birthday  anniversary,  and 
Charles  E.  Sheppard,  ex-' 70,  of 
Bridgeton,  N.  J.,  who  was  92 
years  old  last  November. 

Mr.  Cooke  is  also  believed  to 
have  been  the  oldest  graduate  of 
the  college  proper,  although  Mrs. 
Harriet  Mason  Stevens,  aged  97, 
of  Hampton,  Va.,  still  has  more 
years  to  her  credit  than  any  other 
Bucknellian.  She  was  graduated 
from  the  Institute  in  1858. 

FORMER  ALUMNI  HEAD 

A  former  president  of  the  Buck- 
nell Alumni  Association,  Mr. 
Cooke  had  a  remarkable  career  as 
soldier,  clergyman,  and  lawyer.  In 
recognition  of  his  achievements,  the 
Class  of  1906  dedicated  to  him  its 
edition  of  L' Agenda,  the  Univer- 
sity yearbook. 

Born  in  Mt.  Vernon,  Ohio,  he 
enlisted  with  the  95th  Pennsylva- 
nia Zouaves,  6th  Corps,  in  1861  at 
the  outbreak  of  the  Civil  War,  and 
served  until  after  Lee's  surrender. 
Fighting  in  20  major  engagements, 
including  those  of  the  Peninsula, 
Antietam,  Chancellorsville,  Fred- 
ericksburg, Gettysburg,  the  Wilder- 
ness, Spottsylvania  Court  House, 
Cold  Harbor,  and  Petersburg,  Mr. 
Cooke  was  wounded  four  times 
during  the  war. 

At  Spottsylvania  Court  House 
on  May  12,  1864,  Mr.  Cooke 
fought  during  the  entire  eighteen 
hours  of  that  sanguinary  conflict 
at  the  famed  "Bloody  Angle,"  and 
received  a  slight  flesh  wound.  The 


John  B.  Cooke,  '73 

following  year,  during  the  Confed- 
erate retreat  from  Petersburg,  he 
was  again  wounded,  a  bullet  pass- 
ing through  his  ankle  as  he  at- 
tempted to  hold  up  his  regimental 
flag  when  the  color  bearer  was  shot 
down. 

The  war  over,  Mr.  Cooke  en- 
tered Bucknell,  receiving  his  A.B. 
degree   in    1873    and  his  A.M.   in 

1876.  After  being  graduated  from 
Crozer    Theological    Seminary    in 

1877,  he  served  for  nine  years  in 
the  Baptist  ministry,  first  in  Lima, 
Ohio,  and  later  in  Greeley,  Colo. 

Because  of  ill  health,  he  with- 
drew from  the  ministry  and  became 
superintendent  of  schools  in  Weld 
County,  Colorado.  Then  in  1901 
he  was  appointed  clerk  of  the  Su- 
preme Court  of  Colorado  and, 
after  taking  a  law  degree  at  the 
age  of  60,  was  admitted  to  practice 
in  both  state  and  federal  courts. 
Since  1904  Mr.  Cooke  had  made 
his  home  in  Philadelphia.  Surviv- 
ing are  his  widow,  the  former 
Helen  Naudain,  of  Middletown, 
Dela.,  two  daughters,  and  a  broth- 
er, Jerome,  of  Greeley,  Colo. 

CITED  BY  L' AGENDA 

The  first  63  years  of  Mr. 
Cooke's  life  were  epitomized  in  the 
following  dedicatory  note  pub- 
lished in  L' Agenda  of  1906: 


"Clerk  of  the  Supreme  Court  of 
the  State  of  Colorado;  President  of 
the  Alumni  Association  of  Buck- 
nell University:  for  more  than  a 
quarter  of  a  century  a  devoted 
friend  and  generous  contributor  to 
his  Alma  Mater;  a  soldier  who  en- 
dured the  hardships  and  perils  of 
field  and  camp  throughout  the  great 
Civil  War,  although  four  times 
wounded  and  stricken  down  in  de- 
fense of  the  stars  and  stripes,  yet 
he  remained  an  undaunted  soldier 
to  the  finish  of  the  war;  a  faithful 
minister  of  the  Gospel,  regretfully 
withdrawing  from  abundantly 
blessed  pulpit  labors  only  when 
cruelly  attacked  by  old  time  soldier 
wounds;  a  citizen  whose  busy  life 
is  worthy  of  praise  and  whose  ex- 
ample is  worthy  of  emulation." 

Mrs.  Wolfe,  who  attended 
Bucknell  10  years  before  Mr. 
Cooke,  was  the  oldest  member  of  a 
prominent  Bucknell  family.  She 
was  the  mother  of  Dr.  Mary 
Wolfe,  '96,  Joseph  M.  Wolfe, 
'89,  and  Mrs.  Martha  W. 
Kalp,  '05,  as  well  as  of  Katherine 
Wolfe,  I. '90,  who  died  in  1900. 

Five  years  after  her  graduation 
from  the  Institute  she  married  the 
late  Charles  S.  Wolfe,  later  State 
Senator  and  one-time  candidate  for 
Governor  of  Pennsylvania  on  the 
Prohibitionist  ticket.  Her  husband 
died  in  Harrisburg  in   1891. 

ACTIVE  IN  CIVIC  WORK 

A  pioneer  worker  in  many 
Union  County  and  Lewisburg 
civic  organizations,  Mrs.  Wolfe 
was  organizing  regent  of  the  Shike- 
limo  Chapter,  Daughters  of  the 
American  Revolution,  past  presi- 
dent of  the  Bucknell  Alumnae 
Club,  and  a  member  of  the  Lewis- 
burg Civic  Club,  Women's  Chris- 
tian Temperance  Union,  and  many 
church  groups. 

At  the  time  of  her  death  on  Feb- 
ruary 1  2  she  was  residing  with  her 
daughter,  Dr.  Mary  Wolfe,  who 
is  director  of  the  Laurelton  State 
Village,  west  of  Lewisburg. 

Mrs.  Smith,  who  attended  the 
Institute  half  a  dozen  years  after 
Mrs.  Wolfe,  died  February  1 1  in 
the  Pittston  Hospital,  where  she 
was  taken  after  suffering  an  injury

The  BUCKNELL  ALUMNI  MONTHLY 


District  Clubs 


METROPOLITAN 

On  January  6  at  the  Town  Hall 
Club  in  New  York  City,  66  mem- 
bers attended  a  dinner  meeting  for 
which  the  program  was  arranged 
by  a  younger  alumni  committee 
consisting  of  graduates  from  1930 
to  1938.  Jack  O'Donnell,  '37, 
and  Dick  Gilbert,  '36,  deserve  espe- 
cial credit  for  this  work.  Charles 
Gwynne,  '36.  again  was  our  effi- 
cient "orchestra"  at  the  piano, 
while  Red  Lowther.  '14.  led  us  in 
Bucknell  songs. 

The  Rev.  Edward  Kunkle,  '97, 
chairman  of  the  Scholarship  Com- 
mittee, reported  that  all  alumni  in 
our  area  have  received  a  letter  and 
literature  concerning  the  project 
with  an  invitation  in  the  form  of 
a  pledge  card  to  cooperate  in  this 
worthy  undertaking.  He  and  the 
Committee  feel  certain  that  suffi- 
cient response  and  support  will 
come  from  our  alumni  to  insure 
that  a  worthy  student  will  enter 
Bucknell  this  fall  from  this  area 
on  a  Metropolitan  Alumni  Schol- 
arship. 

In  response  to  a  request  by  Eu- 
gene Rohr,  '36,  for  more  active 
alumni  help  to  aid  graduates  in 
securing  positions,  the  chairman 
announced  that  Walter  P.  Leland. 
580  Fifth  Avenue,  had  been  re- 
tained by  the  University  to  assist 
our  graduates  both  in  vocational 
guidance  and  in  securing  positions, 
and  that  Mr.  Leland  would  be  glad 
to  see  any  of  our  graduates  by  ap- 
pointment. The  chairman  again 
requested  alumni  to  advise  him 
promptly  of  any  openings  coming 
to  their  attention,  so  that  he  could 
use  them  in  aiding  many  who  come 
to  him  for  employment  assistance. 

Jack  O'Donnell  then  introduced 
Carl  Cannon,  of  N.  B.  C,  who 
gave  an  interesting  address  on  tele- 
vision. After  the  address  Mr. 
Cannon  answered  questions  from 
the  floor  until  the  chairman  was 
forced  to  call  a  halt  because  of  the 
lateness  of  the  hour. 

The  next  meeting  on  Friday  eve- 
ning, February  10,  was  the  pre- 
sentation of  the  Bucknell  Glee 
Club  concert  by  the  combined  New 
York  and  New  Jersey  groups  of 
our  Association  at  the  Hotel  Mc- 
Alpin  ball  room.  Prior  to  the  con- 
cert the  66  members  of  the  Glee 
Club    and    about    3  5    alumni    en- 


joyed dinner  in  the  Marine  Grill 
of  the  McAlpin,  where  the  hotel 
orchestra  played  favorite  Bucknell 
songs  which  the  Glee  Club  and 
alumni  picked  up  and  sang  with 
gusto. 

In  spite  of  inclement  weather, 
more  than  425  alumni  and  guests 
attended  the  concert  and  were 
greeted  at  the  door  and  ushered  to 
their  seats  by  ten  women  graduates. 
Approximately  100  of  our  guests 
were  prospective  students  or  par- 
ents of  prospective  students.  The 
highlight  of  the  evening,  naturally, 
was  the  delightful  recital  offered 
by  the  Glee  Club  under  the  direc- 
tion of  Professor  Le  Mon.  After 
many  encores  the  concert  was 
brought  to  a  close  as  everyone 
present  joined  in  singing  the  Alma 
Mater. 

Interest  and  support  is  growing 
in  our  Metropolitan  Associations. 
To  date  106  of  our  alumni  have 
sent  in  their  $2.00  dues  for  the 
year  1938-39.  This  is  good  prog- 
ress but  still  a  very  low  percentage 
of  our  1,000  alumni.  If  support 
continues  to  grow  as  we  anticipate, 
we  hope  to  have  in  the  future  suffi- 
cient funds  to  increase  our  activi- 
ties and  to  help  out  many  of  the 
worthy  needs  of  Bucknell.

BALTIMORE 

The  Bucknell  University  Club 
of  Baltimore  held  a  dinner  meeting 
on  Monday,  January  30.  at  the 
Rail  Grill.  Among  the  23  persons 
at  the  dinner  were  three  prospective 
students  and  several  guests.  L. 
Francis  Lybarger,  Jr.,  showed 
motion  pictures  of  college  activities 
at  Bucknell  and  of  the  Bucknell- 
Penn  State  Game. 

President  J.  Fred  Moore,  '22, 
presided.  This  was  the  first  meet- 
ing of  the  second  year  of  our  or- 
ganized club,  and,  from  all  reports, 
we  expect  to  add  a  number  of  new 
members  to  our  list  this  year. 

We  were  pleased  to  have  Mrs. 
Charles  E.  Hay.  '83,  our  oldest 
member,  and  Raymond  A.  Kan- 
yuck,  '36,  our  youngest  member, 
present  at  this  meeting.

LEWISBURG 

More  than  7  5  members  and 
guests  enjoyed  the  program  pre- 
sented for  the  Bucknell  Alumnae 
Club  of  Lewisburg  when  that  or- 
ganization marked  its  annual  cele- 
bration of  Guest  Night  on  Tues- 
day, February  14.  with  a  one-act 
play  presented  by  the  Lewisburg 
Theatre  Guild  as  the  principal 
feature. 

Miss  Vera  Finkelstein  of  the 
Theatre  Guild  directed  the  pre- 
sentation of  "Ladies  in  Moon- 
light" with  a  cast  of  five  women, 
two  of  them  Bucknell  alumnae. 
Miss  Lulu  Miller,  '32,  and  Mrs. 
Clyde  Burgee.  '36.  The  play  was 
an  attractive  historical  sketch  por- 
traying the  true  personalities  of  the 
wives  of  five  famous  United  States 
Presidents.  Miss  Inez  Robison, 
'28,  sang  two  very  lovely  solos  to 
complete  one  of  the  most  enjoyable 
meetings  in  the  memory  of  club 
members.  Refreshments      were 

served  by  a  committee  headed  by 
Mrs.  Leiser  Johnson,  '33. 

In  a  short  business  meeting  pre- 
ceding the  play,  Mrs.  Earl  Moyer, 
'28,  club  president,  appointed  the 
following  committees  for  the  com-

MARCH,   1939 


Local  Notes 


Staff  Enlarged 
In  Engineering 

The  instructional  work  of 
Bucknell's  Engineering  depart- 
ments was  strengthened  at  the  be- 
ginning of  the  current  semester  by 
the  appointment  of  three  men  to 
the  departmental  staff. 

The  new  appointees  are  Harmar 
A.  Weeden,  of  Mt.  Vernon,  N.  Y., 
who  is  serving  as  an  instructor  in 
civil  engineering:  Clinton  C.  Hon- 
eywell, of  Cornell  University, 
named  as  a  laboratory  assistant  in 
electrical  engineering,  and  William 
J.  Crissman,  of  Williamsport,  Pa., 
engaged  as  a  machinist  under  the 
supervision  of  the  mechanical  engi- 
neering department. 

A  graduate  of  Cornell,  Weeden 
has  been  employed  by  the  Republic 
Steel  Corporation  in  Youngstown, 
Ohio.  Honeywell  has  been  a  re- 
search assistant  at  Cornell.  Criss- 
man was  employed  as  a  machinist 
by  the  Lycoming  Manufacturing 
Company  and  the  Darling  Valve 
Company  in  Williamsport. 

DIESEL  ENGINE  RECEIVED 

Gift  of  a  four-cylinder  75-horse- 
power  Diesel  engine  to  the  mechan- 
ical engineering  department  was 
announced  at  the  same  time  by 
President  Marts.  The  engine  is 
the  gift  of  John  M.  Wilson,  of 
Pittsburgh,  a  trustee  of  the  Uni- 
versity and  president  of  the  Na- 
tional Supply  Company. 

Dr.  Richard  L.  Anthony,  pro- 
fessor of  mechanical  engineering, 
also  announced  the  recent  acquisi- 
tion by  the  engineering  department 
of  a  new  1  50-horsepower  dynamo- 
meter to  be  used  for  running  effi- 
ciency and  power  tests. 

Although  a  number  of  changes 
in  the  design  of  the  new  Engineer- 
ing Building  have  caused  work  on 
that  structure  to  be  deferred  for 
several  months,  it  is  believed  that 
the  proposed  alterations  will  result 
in  maximum  usefulness  for  the 
completed  building.  According  to 
present  plans,  construction  will  be 
resumed  this  spring,  with  the 
building  ready  for  use  by  the  start 
of  the  second  semester  next  year. 


BUCKNELLIANS  SUPPORT 
EIGHT  CHINESE  STUDENTS      j 

Eight  Chinese  students  will  be 
enabled  to  attend  college  for  a  year, 
with  both  room  and  board  pro- 
vided, as  the  result  of  a  funds- 
raising  campaign  completed  by 
Bucknell  students.  Nine  hundred 
fifty  of  the  University's  1 .300  stu- 
dents aided  the  project. 

COLLEGE  ACQUIRES 
MEN'S  DINING  ROOM 

Bucknell  has  acquired  a  Lewis- 
burg  home  which  will  be  converted 
into  a  college-operated  dining  room 
to  accommodate  40  men  students. 
Located  at  321-323  South  Sixth 
Street,  the  property,  formerly 
owned  by  Miss  Anna  Judd.  '00, 
will  undergo  alterations  this  spring 
and  be  ready  for  use  in  the  fall. 

Decision  to  establish  the  new 
dining  room,  announced  several 
months  ago  by  University  officials, 
was  prompted  by  requests  from 
many  parents  of  entering  freshmen 
who  wish  to  know  in  advance  that 
their  sons  will  be  privileged  to  take 
their  meals  in  a  dining  room  under 
college  supervision. 

BUCKNELL  SUPPLIES 
STUDENT  SPEAKERS 

If  central  Pennsylvanians  want 
to  know  what's  happening  in 
China,  or  if  they  wonder  how 
difficult  it  is  to  earn  one's  way 
through  college,  all  they  need  do 
to  find  out  is  to  send  a  hurry  call 
to  Bucknell's  flourishing  Student 
Speakers  Bureau. 

Sponsored  by  the  public  speak- 
ing department,  the  bureau  has 
provided  speakers  and  entertainers 
for  countless  meetings  of  service 
clubs,  high  schools,  Parent-Teach- 
er Associations,  women's  clubs,  and 
other  groups. 

Student  speakers  are  not  talking 
from  mere  theoretical  knowledge. 
Dr.  Robert  T.  Oliver,  assistant 
professor  of  public  speaking,  points 
out.  For  instance,  the  bureau's  ex- 
pert on  the  Sino-Japanese  conflict 
is  Lloyd  Kimm.  a  native  of  Korea, 
while  the  student  who  speaks  on 
working  his  way  through  college 
has  virtually  supported  himself 
since  entering  Bucknell  three  years 
ago. 


Alumnae  Turn  to 
Home,  Schoolroom 

Home-making  and  teaching  con- 
tinue to  be  the  favored  occupations 
of  Bucknell's  women  graduates,  a 
survey  conducted  by  the  University 
among  alumnae  of  the  last  five 
years  indicates. 

More  than  a  score  of  vocations 
were  listed  by  the  264  women, 
representing  65  per  cent  of  the  girls 
graduated  from  19  34  to  1938, 
who  responded  to  the  question- 
naire. An  even  hundred  women 
are  teaching,  while  87  checked  the 
title  "housewife." 

Among  the  trends  noted  by  the 
study  over  a  five-year  period  was 
a  growing  interest  in  business  as  a 
career  for  women  graduates.  Of 
1  7  recent  alumnae  working  in  the 
field  of  business,  1 2  are  members 
of  the  classes  of  193  7  and  1938. 
Seven  members  of  last  June's  class 
are  taking  advanced  secretarial 
training. 

Other  occupations  reported  by 
the  graduates  include:  social  work. 
7:  laboratory  technician  or  nurse, 
10:  secretary  or  stenographer,  10: 
graduate  work,  12:  Y.  W.  C.  A. 
work,  2:  medical  school,  2:  librar- 
ian. 2:  professional  model,  news- 
paper work,  missionary,  art  gal- 
lery, research  chemist,  and  book 
salesman,    1  each. 

The  occupational  research  pro- 
ject was  part  of  a  larger  study  of 
Bucknell's  feminine  population 
which  showed  that  during  the  past 
five  years  the  number  of  coeds  spe- 
cializing in  Commerce  and  Finance 
and  Education  has  shown  a  marked 
increase. 

STUDENTS  ORGANIZE 
FLYING  CLUB 

Bucknell's  extracurricular  pro- 
gram went  ultra-modern  this 
month  with  the  organization  of  a 
Flying  Club  which  will  make  its 
headquarters  at  the  Sunbury  Air- 
port. 

John  R.  Auten,  of  Lewisburg, 
was  elected  president  of  the  club, 
which  includes  two  coeds  as  mem- 
bers.

New  Marigold  Created 
By  Dr.  W.  H.  Eyster,  '14 


A  new  variety  of  marigold  or- 
iginated in  Bucknell's  botanical 
laboratory  is  being  introduced  to 
the  general  public  this  spring. 
Representing  a  hybrid  between  the 
large  African  marigold  and  the 
deep  red  French  marigold,  the 
flower  was  created  on  a  laboratory 
scale  by  Dr.  William  H.  Eyster, 
professor  of  botany  at  Bucknell, 
and  has  been  developed  commer- 
cially by  the  W.  Atlee  Burpee 
Company,  of  Philadelphia. 

Described  as  the  Red  and  Gold 
Hybrid  Marigold,  the  new  bloom 
was  featured  in  a  preview  February 
28  in  the  Grand  Ballroom  of  the 
Waldorf-Astoria  Hotel.  New  York 
City.  On  March  6  it  was  intro- 
duced in  Philadelphia  at  the  Belle- 
vue-Stratford;  later  it  will  be  ex- 
hibited at  the  International  Flower 
Show. 

By  crossing  the  African  and 
French    species    of    marigold,    Dr. 


Eyster  secured  a  quantity  of  seed 
which,  after  further  development 
at  the  Burpee  Company's  Flora- 
dale,  Calif.,  farms,  yielded  a  flower 
growing  1\'i  to  3  inches  across, 
nearly  three  times  the  dimension  of 
the  little  French  marigold. 

The  Red  and  Gold  Hybrids  are 
the  earliest  of  all  marigolds,  as 
they  come  into  bloom  in  less  than 
eight  weeks  from  seed.  They  are 
profusely  blooming,  and  have  been 
known  to  blossom  for  seven 
months.  In  color  the  hybrids  vary 
from  almost  pure  golden-yellow  to 
bright  mahogany-scarlet,  while 
some  of  the  flowers  are  combina- 
tions of  red  and  gold. 

In  recognition  of  his  work  as  a 
creator  of  new  flowers,  Dr.  Eyster 
has  been  invited  to  address  the  In- 
ternational Congress  of  Genetics  at 
Edinburgh,  Scotland.  August  23- 
30.  1939. 


Recommends  Parents  Attend 
Regional  Alumni  Meetings 


A  recommendation  that  parents 
of  Bucknell  students  be  invited,  as 
a  general  practice,  to  attend  regional 
alumni  meetings  was  made  at  the 
last  executive  committee  session  of 
the  newly-organized  Father's  As- 
sociation. 

Already  the  Metropolitan 
Alumni  Association  has  invited  the 
parents  on  two  occasions,  and  sev- 
eral other  alumni  groups  have  also 
requested  copies  of  the  list  of  fath- 
ers and  mothers. 

In  a  greeting  to  the  Father's  As- 
sociation, Dr.  Carl  L.  Millward, 
'06,  president  of  the  General 
Alumni  Association,  welcomed  the 
group  into  the  "larger  circle  of  in- 
terested friends  of  Bucknell"  and 
urged  the  parents  to  attend  regional 
alumni  meetings. 

Among  other  recommendations 
drafted  by  the  executive  committee 
of  the  Father's  Association  were  the 
following: 

1.  That  a  committee  of  fathers 
be  appointed  to  work  with  the 
local  committee  in  planning  the 
next  Father's  Day  banquet. 

2.  That  President  Joseph  D. 
McKee's  generous  offer  be  accepted 
that  he  provide  a  silver  cup  which 
shall  be  given  to  that  fraternity  or 

residence  group  which  has  the  most 


attractive  house  decoration  on  next 
Father's  Day. 

3.  That  the  Father's  Associa- 
tion provide  an  inexpensive  prize 
to  be  awarded  between  the  halves 
of  the  Father's  Day  football  game 
to  that  freshman  who,  being  dis- 
ciplined by  the  Senior  Tribunal, 
appears  in  the  most  outlandish  cos- 
tume. 

4.  That  a  committee  of  fathers 
living  in  different  geographical  cen- 
ters be  appointed  for  the  combined 
purpose  of  carrying  to  the  com- 
munity important  news  of  Buck- 
nell and  of  assisting  President 
Marts  and  Bucknell's  field  repre- 
sentatives in  interesting  in  Buck- 
nell the  best  qualified  students  in 
local  high  schools. 


NEW  HONORARIES  FORMED 

Designed  to  foster  high  academic 
standards  among  new  students, 
chapters  of  honorary  fraternities 
for  freshman  men  and  women 
have  been  installed  at  Bucknell 
within  the  past  year. 

The  men's  group,  Phi  Eta  Sigma, 
made  its  appearance  on  the  campus 
two  months  ago,  while  the  soror- 
ity, Alpha  Lambda  Delta,  was  in- 
troduced late  last  year.  They  limit 
achieving  an   85   per  cent  average. 


The  BUCKNELL  ALUMNI  MONTHLY 

ALUMNA  FOUNDS 
NEW  SCHOLARSHIP 

A  $6,000  fund  to  provide 
scholarships  at  Bucknell  for  Lew- 
isburg  girls  was  provided  for  in 
the  will  of  Miss  Lillian  Beale, 
I. '84,  who  died  recently.  Miss 
Beale  also  received  a  baccalaureate 
degree  from  Bucknell  in  1905  and 
her  M.Litt.  three  years  later. 

According  to  the  terms  of  the 
bequest,  Bucknell  receives  an  out- 
right grant  of  $6,000  with  which 
to  establish  four  scholarships,  one 
to  be  awarded  each  year,  to  girl 
graduates  of  the  Lewisburg  High 
School.  The  awards  will  be  known 
as  the  Ella  and  Lillian  Beale 
Scholarships,  with  the  recipients  to 
be  selected  by  the  principal  and 
faculty  of  the  Lewisburg  High 
School. 

For  many  years  Miss  Beale  was 
a  school  teacher  in  Lewisburg. 

DR.  LOWRY'S  WIDOW 
COMMENTS  ON  HYMN  SING 

Among  the  most  interesting  of 
the  congratulatory  messages  was 
one  from  Mrs.  Robert  Lowry, 
widow  of  the  famed  hymn-writer, 
who  is  still  living  in  Plainfield, 
N.  J.  In  her  letter  Mrs.  Lowry  re- 
marked that  the  Bucknell  alumnus 
and  professor  had  always  consid- 
ered his  hymn-writing  as  a  side 
issue.  "Music  with  me  has  always 
been  an  efflorescence,  while  preach- 
ing has  been  my  fruitage,"  Dr. 
Lowry  once  said.  "I  would  rather 
preach  a  gospel  sermon  to  an  ap- 
preciative congregation,  than  write 
a  hymn." 

Scores  of  comments  from  alum- 
ni, churchmen,  and  musicians  have 
been  received  during  recent  weeks 
by  University  officials  who  ar- 
ranged and  presented  the  Robert 
Lowry  radio  hymn  sing  on  Jan- 
uary 21.

WHERE  ARE  1880*s 
MISSING  MEMORIALS? 

Where  are  the  missing  Memo- 
rials of  the  Class  of  1880? 

The  University  has  been  seeking 
an  answer  to  this  mystery  since  it 
became  known  that  the  memorial 
metal  plaques  originally  placed  on 
the  columns  of  Old  Main  disap- 
peared some  time  after  the  fire  in 
1932. 

Since  the  University  desires  to 
place  these  class  memorials  on  their 
old  locations  on  the  columns,  this 
is  an  appeal  to  members  of  the 
Class  of  1880,  or  to  alumni  in 
general,  for  information  concern- 
ing the  missing  circular  plaques. 

"If  anyone  has  knowledge  of 
their  whereabouts,  we  should  like 
to  have  them  returned,"  Treasurer 
D.  L.  Ranck,  '16,  said.  "Should 
anyone  know  of  a  photograph  that 
is  sufficiently  sharp  to  enable  us  to 
have  reproductions  made,  we 
should  like  to  have  the  photo- 
graph."

as  an  All-Alumni  ceremony.  In  addition  to  pro- 
viding the  excitement  on  the  campus  Saturday,  June 
10,  —  the  official  Alumni  Day,  ■ —  the  graduates 
will  be  featured  in  the  formal  Commencement  exer- 
cises Monday  morning,  June   12. 

Instead  of  an  address  by  a  single  speaker,  the  high- 
light of  the  graduation  ceremony  will  be  a  panel  dis- 
cussion on  "Values  of  a  College  Education,"  partici- 
pated in  by  three  Bucknell  alumni  under  the  chair- 
manship of  President  Arnaud  C.  Marts. 

The  three  speakers  who  will  present  in  conversa- 
tional manner  their  views  on  how  to  make  best  use 
of  a  college  education  will  be  Dr.  Chester  P.  Higby, 
'08,  professor  of  history  at  the  University  of  Wis- 
consin; Dr.  Stanley  P.  Davies,  '12,  president  of  the 
Family  Welfare  Association  of  America,  and  Dr. 
Edwin  E.  Aubrey,  '17,  professor  of  Christian  theol- 
ogy and  ethics  at  the  University  of  Chicago.

ALUMNI  GET-TOGETHER  PLANNED 

Another  innovation  on  this  year's  program  will 
be  an  Alumni  Social  Hour  at  3:15  o'clock  Saturday 
afternoon  in  Larison  Hall.  At  the  request  of  many 
graduates,  this  time  has  been  set  aside  to  give  alumni 
of  all  classes  a  chance  to  gather  socially. 

Thirteen  classes  are  scheduled  to  hold  reunions 
Saturday.  Many  of  them  will  have  special  tables  at 
the   general    alumni    luncheon,    which,    according    to 


Meet  Your  Classmates 

Commencement    Week-End 

June  10-11  and  12 


advance  indications,  will  be  more  successful  than 
ever.  The  usual  business  meetings  of  the  Alumnae 
and  Alumni  Associations  will  also  claim  interest  this 
year. 

Other  important  events  set  for  Saturday  include 
the  meeting  of  the  Board  of  Trustees,  a  musical  re- 
cital, band  concert,  fraternity  symposia,  and  the  an- 
nual Commencement  play,  "The  Torch  Bearers",  by 
George  Kelly. 

The  Baccalaureate  service  will  be  held  in  Davis 
Gymnasium  Sunday  morning,  with  President  Arnaud 
C.  Marts  as  the  speaker.  Mr.  Marts  will  also  enter- 
tain at  the  annual  President's  Reception  in  the  after- 
noon. Sound  motion  pictures  of  Bucknell  scenes  and 
activities  will  be  shown  three  times  Sunday  afternoon 
in  Bucknell  Hall.  Musical  programs  Sunday  will  in- 
clude a  chamber  and  vocal  music  recital  in  the  after- 
noon and  Beethoven's  oratorio,  "Missa  Solemnis", 
in  the  evening. 

Culminating  the  week-end,  the  Commencement 
ceremony  will  begin  at  9:30  o'clock  Monday  morn- 
ing in  Davis  Gymnasium.  Approximately  250  sen- 
iors are  scheduled  to  receive  diplomas  this  year.  The 
Corporation  dinner  in  the  college  dining  hall  will 
follow  the  exercises. 

Consult  the  complete  program  on  page  3  for  full 
details  as  to  times  and  places.  Even  in  that  skeleton- 
ized summary,  it  looks  like  a  grand  week-end  —  so 
we're  Calling  All  Alumni  to  Come  Back  for  Com- 
mencement.

BUCKNELL 

Alumni  Monthly 


Volume  XXIV 

No.  1 
October,    1939 


Editor  s  Corner 

ISN'T  there  an  old  saying  that  it's  bad 
luck  to  stay  home  on  the  21st  of  Oc- 
tober? Confidentially,  we  don't  know 
of  any  such  adage,  but  this  year  it  would 
bit  th;  proverbial  nail  right  on  its  pro- 
verbial bead,  because  October  21  is  your 
Alumni  Homecoming.  More  of  a  "must" 
event  every  year,  this  Homecoming  will 
be   a    really   big   shouldn't-be-missed   time. 


THE  weather  isn't  supposed  to  be  a 
good  topic  for  conversation,  editorially 
or  otherwise,  but  we  should  like  to 
repeat  our  assurances  that  every  effort  will 
be  made  to  prevent  rain  this  Homecom- 
ing, even  if  it  means  hiring  a  band  of 
Hopi  Indian  rainmakers  to  go  through 
their  ceremonials  backward.  After  all.  the 
big  day  this  year  is  in  October,  and  you 
all  remember  Helen  Hunt  Jackson's  poem 
—  you  probably  had  to  memorize  it  in 
the  third  grade  —  called  "October's 
Bright  Blue  Weather". 


TNCIDENTALLY.     the    Bison    on     the 
J_    cover  is   George   Kiick,    co-captain    and 
stellar  back  on   this  year's  eleven. 


REPUBLICANS  and  Democrats  aren't 
the  only  people  who  will  have  to  se- 
lect candidates  next  year.  This  is  an 
advance  reminder  that  nominations  for 
alumni  trustee  will  be  received  at  any 
time.  Names  of  candidates  should  be  pro- 
posed in  writing  to  the  Alumni  Trustee 
Nomination  Committee,  in  care  of  the 
Bucknell  Alumni  Association.  Ballots  will 
be  distributed  in  a  late  winter  issue  of 
the  Monthly. 


LAST  year's  nominations  called  forth 
spirited  voting,  and  when  the  bal- 
lots were  counted  Dr.  John  C.  Hos- 
tetter.  of  West  Hartford,  Conn.,  was  the 
new  alumni  trustee.  All  alumni  join  in 
congratulating  Dr.  Hostetter,  a  noted 
chemist  and  loyal  Bucknellian.  Another 
important  election  was  the  naming  of 
Edgar  A.  Snyder,  able  president  of  the 
New  York  Alumni  Association,  as  presi- 
dent of  the  General  Association  during 
the  Commencement  week-end  business 
session.  On  page  3  you  will  find  a  mes- 
sage from  the  new  president.  Mr.  Snyder 
succeeds  Dr.  Carl  L.  Millward.  Milton 
school  executive,  who  has  administered 
the  affairs  of  the  General  Association 
wisely  and  faithfully  for  the  past  several 
years. 


AS     a     pre-Homecoming     thought     we 
submit   the   following   from   a   letter 
written  to  President  Marts  by  Miss 
Dorothy   Kester,    '34,    head   of   the   speech 
department  at  Milligan  College: 

"I  spent  four  happy,  sturdy,  exciting 
years  in  Hunt  Hall,  learning  to  live  in  the 
tradition  of  Bucknell's  past,  and  no  doubt 
helping  to  create  her  present.  There  are 
some  things  I  can  never  forget  —  great 
evenings  of  music.  Cap  and  Dagger  first 
nights,  trees  full  of  sun  and  lawns  full  of 
shadows,  academic  processions  with  fa- 
miliar classroom  figures  looking  strangely 
solemn  and  impressive,  the  pleasant  fatigue 
of  Commencement  week.  This  letter  is  an 
expression  to  you  of  the  loyalty  and  af- 
fection Bucknell  inspires  in  her  students. 
When  we  meet  we  talk  with  shining  eyes 
and  hushed  voices  of  the  good  things 
that  were  ours."

See  You  October  21 
At  Gala  Homecoming 


Bisons  to  Clash 
With  Georgetown 


A  jampacked  program  and  the 
law  of  averages  are  expected  to 
combine  forces  on  October  2 1  to 
produce  the  biggest  and  best 
Alumni  Homecoming  celebration 
Bucknell  has  ever  held. 

Homecoming  1939  will  feature 
the  usual  potpourri  of  events  con- 
cocted to  suit  the  discriminating 
alumni  taste  —  football  game 
with  Georgetown,  informal  reun- 
ions, annual  dinner  and  dance,  to 
list  only  the  standout  attractions 
planned  by  an  alumni-conscious 
campus. 

As  for  the  law  of  averages,  it 
will  do  its  part  merely  by  seeing 
to  it  that  this  year's  Homecoming 
is  not  another  reunion  among  the 
raindrops,  as  the  last  two  have 
been.  The  Alumni  Monthly  was 
unable  to  contact  Professor  John 
S.  Gold,  '18,  for  an  authoritative 
statement  on  the  mathematics  of 
probability,  but  the  garden  variety 
of  instinct,  sometimes  known  as 
"poker  player's  hunch,"  indicates 
that  a  fair,  sunny  day  is  due  this 
year. 

However,  Alumni  officials  have 
tried  to  help  the  law  of  averages 
along  by  moving  the  Homecoming 
date  from  mid-November  to  Oc- 
tober 21.  As  you  all  remember, 
late  October  is  one  of  the  most 
pleasant  seasons  of  the  year  in 
Union  County.  If  all  these  pre- 
cautions fail  to  bring  unclouded 
skies  for  Homecoming,  it  will  be 
time  to  consider  proferring  an 
honorary  degree  to  the  Weather 
Man. 

CLOSE  BATTLE  LOOMS 

Focal  point  of  the  day's  activi- 
ties, of  course,  will  be  the  football 
game  with  Georgetown's  Hoyas 
at  two  o'clock  in  the  Memorial 
Stadium.  Undefeated  last  year  and 
reputed  to  be  just  as  strong  this 
season,  the  Washington,  D.  C.. 
eleven  will  provide  a  critical  test 
for  the  Bisons,  who  will  be  out  to 
extend  their  record  of  nine  straight 
Homecoming  victories. 

On  page  5  you  can  read  Coach 
Al  Humphrey's  estimate  of  the 
way  he  sizes  up  Bison  prospects 
this  fall,  but  in  the  Homecoming 
fray  you  can   count   on   only   one 


thing:  a  hammer-and-tongs  battle 
with  complete  disregard  for  past 
performances  and  future  hopes. 
Even  if  the  Bisons  run  into  unex- 
pected trouble  in  their  early-season 
duels,  they  will  be  very  much  in 
the  game  on  October  21. 

After  the  final  whistle  there  will 
be  plenty  of  time  for  reunions  with 
classmates  and  reminiscences  be- 
fore the  Alumni  Dinner  begins  at 
6:30  o'clock  in  the  Women's  Col- 
lege Dining  Hall.  Many  of  you 
will  be  interested  in  making  in- 
spection tours  of  the  rapidly- 
changing  campus,  looking  into 
the  newer  buildings  and  surveying 
the  progress  on  the  Engineering 
Building. 

The  dinner  itself  will  be  the 
usual  informal  affair,  with  the  em- 
phasis on  fellowship  rather  than 
on  a  lengthy  and  elaborate  pro- 
gram. Speakers  will  be  President 
Arnaud  C.  Marts  and  Edgar  A. 
Snyder,  of  South  Orange,  N.  J., 
the  newly-elected  president  of  the 
General  Alumni  Association,  who 
will  extend  greetings  to  the  alumni. 

GLEE  CLUB  TO  SING 

Entertainment  will  be  provided 
by  Bucknell's  70-voice  Men's  Glee 
Club,  under  the  direction  of  Pro- 
fessor Melvin  LeMon,  which  will 
introduce  some  of  the  numbers  in 
its  1939-40  repertoire,  in  addition 
to  singing  a  few  of  the  catchy  ar- 
rangements which  have  delighted 
alumni  in  the  past.  Tickets  for 
the  banquet  may  be  secured  for 
75  cents. 

Immediately  following  the  din- 
ner will  be  the  newest  fixture  on 


FATHER'S  DAY 

November  4  will  be  the  date 
this  year  of  the  Father's  Day 
observance,  which  will  feature 
a  varsity  football  game  between 
Bucknell  and  Western  Mary- 
land, a  banquet  in  the  Davis 
Gymnasium  and  a  luncheon 
meeting  of  the  Bucknell  Fath- 
er's Association. 

The  Father's  Association 
luncheon  will  be  held  in  the 
Women's  College  Dining  Room. 


the  Homecoming  program,  the 
Alumni  Ball  from  9  until  12  P. 
M.  in  the  Davis  Gymnasium.  Since 
it  has  taken  its  place  as  the  official 
starting-point  for  Bucknell's  social 
season,  the  Homecoming  dance  has 
gradually  assumed  greater  import- 
ance. Last  year,  as  the  first  dance 
in  the  new  men's  gymnasium,  it 
attracted  more  than  600  couples. 
Although  an  orchestra  has  not 
yet  been  definitely  booked,  the 
Homecoming  committee  is  nego- 
tiating to  secure  a  well-known  ra- 
dio band  which  will  compare  with 
the  Woody  Herman  and  Howard 
Woods  ensembles  of  the  past  two 
years.  The  festivities  will  be  avail- 
able to  all  Homecomers  at  the  price 
of  $1.50  per  couple. 

AND   THEN— PAGEANTRY 

Supplementing  the  formally- 
scheduled  events  will  be  all  the  cus- 
tomary pageantry  and  traditional 
antics  of  Homecoming  Day.  Al- 
though the  coat  of  shiny  aluminum 
paint  on  the  Water  Tower  appears 
to  have  blotted  out  one  Homecom- 
ing prank,  many  remain  to  divert 
undergraduates   and   alumni   alike. 

Already  the  Bucknell  Band  is 
polishing  new  maneuvers  for  its 
climatic  October  21  appearance. 
Like  Coach  Humphreys.  Director 
Le  Mon  has  a  grievous  replace- 
ment problem  caused  by  the  grad- 
uation of  Bernice  Henry.  '38, 
drum  major  par  excellence  for  the 
past  four  years.  But  the  band  will 
carry  on. 

Golf-minded  alumni,  both  men 
and  women,  should  bring  along 
the  clubs  for  the  annual  tourna- 
ment under  the  direction  of  Mal- 
colm E.   Musser,   '18. 

For  advance  reservations  of  any 
kind  —  football  seats,  rooms,  din- 
ner and  dance  tickets  —  write  the 
Alumni  Office.  And  when  you  ar- 
rive on  the  campus,  don't  forget 
to  register  at  alumni  headquarters 
which  will  be  established  in  the 
main  lobby  of  Daniel  C.  Roberts 
Hall. 

That's  the  calendar  for  1 939's 
Homecoming,  a  blend  of  football 
and  frivolity,  reunion  and  remi- 
niscence, dining  and  dancing.  For 
further  details,  come  and  see  for 
yourself.

September  15,   1939. 
Dear  Bucknellians: 

As  I  write  this,  members  of  Bucknell's  94th  Freshman  Class  are 
climbing  up  the  hill  you  love  so  well  to  enroll  as  Bucknellians.  It 
seems  to  be  an  excellent  class.  It  should  be,  for  our  Admissions 
Committee  has  had  a  record  number  of  applicants  from  which  to  se- 
lect this  class  of  1943.  Paid  applications  for  admission  were  received 
from  about  650  young  men  and  women,  half  of  whom  were  ad- 
mitted. Our  total  enrollment  is  at  full  capacity  again — about  1,300 
— and  we  trust  we  will  have  a  year  of  unusual  inspiration  and 
growth  for  each  of  these  splendid  young  men  and  women. 

Homecoming  this  year  will  be  on  Saturday,  October  21.  The 
autumn  beauty  of  Central  Pennsylvania  will  be  at  its  peak  at  that 
time.  I  invite  you  most  cordially  to  come  to  Alma  Mater  on  October 
21  and  to  make  the  1939  Homecoming  a  day  of  great  enjoyment. 

The  outbreak  of  the  war  in  Europe  is  a  fact  which  a  college 
cannot  ignore,  for  it  is  bound  to  have  a  profound  effect  upon  the 
thoughts  and  lives  of  our  young  people.  Some  of  them  are  already 
wondering  why  they  should  make  the  effort  to  grow  and  to  learn,  in 
the  face  of  what  may  lie  ahead  of  them.  Others  are  wondering  if  there 
is  any  use  in  hoping  and  planning  for  a  better  world. 

We  at  Bucknell  still  believe  with  all  our  hearts  in  the  better 
world  and  are  resolved  to  redouble  our  efforts  to  help  to  bring  it 
into  being.  It  is  quite  likely  that  the  leadership  for  that  better  world 
of  civilized  living  has  shifted  now,  permanently,  to  the  Western 
Hemisphere,  for  the  nations  of  Europe,  from  whom  we  have  hereto- 
fore drawn  our  cultural  and  spiritual  leadership,  are  stricken  and 
crippled.  Does  this  not  challenge  us.  in  this  western  world,  to  as- 
sume new  responsibilities  for  working  out  new  patterns  for  civilized 
life? 

The  better  world  must  be  a  world  of  intelligence,  of  moral  in- 
tegrity, of  Christian  brotherhood.  This  is  precisely  the  way  of  life 
which  Bucknell  has  always  taught.  Let  Bucknellians,  therefore,  at 
this  time  of  crisis  and  challenge,  lift  our  banner  still  higher  and  carry 
on  with  renewed  consecration  and  vigor. 

With  best  wishes  to  each  of  you, 

rv  Yours  cordially,

lUVML 


By  EDGAR  A.  SNYDER 
President,  General  Alumni  Association 


For  ninety-three  years  Bucknell  has  given  her  life  and  labors  to  you  and  to 
many  who  have  preceded  you.  Through  good  years  and  bad  years,  through 
times  of  want  and  seasons  of  plenty,  she  has  unflinchingly  stuck  to  her  task  of 
educating  men  and  women,  creating  in  them  enlightened  ideals  in  order  that 
their  own  lives  might  be  fuller  and  that  they  might  aid  in  making  this  good  old 
world  a  still  better  place  for  all  of  us.  What  you  and  I  received  from  her  can  in 
no  way  be  fully  repaid.  It  cannot  be  evaluated  in  worldly  measures  of  wealth. 
For  ninety-three  years  she  has  labored  and,  directly  or  indirectly,  poured  her 
own  life  blood  into  our  lives.  It  is  our  moral  obligation  and  duty  as  alumni 
and  former  students  to  see  to  it  that  she  loses  none  of  her  vitality.  We  can  ac- 
complish this  by  giving  back  to  her  some  portion  of  our  own  energy  and  there 
are  so  many,  many  ways  in  which  we  can  do  it.  If  we  Alumni  all  resolve  to  do 
at  least  one  good  thing  for  Bucknell  this  year  and  really  do  it,  think  of  the  great 
good  and  inspiration  that  will  materialize  from  such  mass  effect  of  over  8,000 
of  us. 

In  this  message  of  greeting  to  all  Alumni  of  Bucknell  this  year,  I  earnestly 
ask  for  your  continued  cooperation  and  support  in  the  work  of  the  General 
Alumni  Association  and  in  that  of  your  local  associations.  The  aid  and  in- 
spiration you  can  give  to  the  work  of  your  local  Alumni  Association  is  probably 
one  of  the  best  ways  in  which  you  can  help  Bucknell.  May  I  also  ask  that  each 
one  of  you  do  at  least  one  good  thing  for  Bucknell  this  year.  Every  one  can  find 
something  to  do,  commensurate  with  his  means,  that  will  help  grand  old  Buck- 
nell. There  are  hundreds  of  things  we  can  do,  many  of  them  not  connected  with 
money.  Rich  or  poor,  we  can  all  help.  If  you  need  suggestions,  your  Board  of 
Trustees,  your  President  or  your  Alumni  Association  officers  will  gladly  make 
them. 

Furthermore,  I  earnestly  solicit  your  suggestions  as  to  ways  and  means 
by  which  the  General  Alumni  Association  can  be  of  greater  service  to  Bucknell 
and  her  alumni.  In  our  local  district  alumni  club  meetings  we  frequently  re- 
ceive from  the  members  constructive  suggestions  for  worthwhile  new  undertak- 
ings or  for  making  our  work  more  effective.  As  president  of  your  General  Alum- 
ni Association  I  bespeak  your  similar  consideration  of  and  suggestions  for  mak- 
ing that  body  a  more  potent  and  effective  instrument,  in  consolidating  the  ef- 
forts of  all  the  local  associations,  in  originating  and  suggesting  new  activities 
to  the  local  associations,  and  in  improving  its  own  work  in  general  for  the 
greater  good  to  Bucknell.  Please  write  me  your  suggestions.  I  assure  vou  they 
will  be  given  careful  consideration  by  your  officers  and  presented  to  the  Asso- 
ciation for  action. 

Our  Board  of  Trustees,  our  fine  faculty  and  our  grand  President  are  doing 
a  splendid  work  at  Bucknell.  Let  us  not  just  sir  and  admire  and  feel  pleased, 
but  let  us  as  real  alumni,  look  around  and  find  something  we  can  do,  and  then — 
Ler's  Do  It!  Let  us  remember  that  it  is  the  Alumni  who  make  the  university 
either  great  or  small.     Let's  keep  on  making  ours  greater. 


The  BUC KNELL  ALUMNI  MONTHLY 


New  Alumni  Directory- 
Will  Appear  Soon 


The  complete  "low-down"  on 
all  Bucknell  alumni  will  become 
available  for  the  first  time  in  nine 
years  within;  the  next  few  weeks, 
when  "Your  College  Friends,"  the 
new  alumni  directory,  is  scheduled 
to  come  off  the"  press. 

Since  the  last  inventory  of 
Bucknell's  alumni  personnel  was 
taken  in  1930,  2,000  more  per- 
sons have  become  eligible  for  list- 
ing. In  addition  to  the  addresses 
and  vital  statistics  on  these  young- 
er alumni,  the  new  directory  will 
contain  up-to-the-minute  informa- 
tion on  the  more  than  5,000  men 
and  women  who  preceded  them  at 
Bucknell. 

For  the  past  five  months  an 
augmented  Alumni  Office  staff  has 
been  working  overtime  to  insure 
all  possible  accuracy  and  complete- 
ness in  this  thorough  round-up  of 
salient  facts  concerning  the  Buck- 
nell family.  Early  this  month  copy 
began  to  flow  to  the  printer,  and 
it  is  hoped  that  copies  will  be 
available  sometime  around  Home- 
coming. As  the  copies  are  printed, 
they  will  be  mailed  prepaid  to 
those  who  haive  made  payment  in 
cash  to  the  Alumni  Office. 

As  the  Alumni  Monthly  went 
to  press,  approximately  2,700  or- 
ders had  been  received  from  alumni 
eager  to  learn  the  who,  what  and 
where  about  their  classmates.  It 
is  expected  that  the  printing  will 
run  eventually  to  3,000  copies. 


MANY  "STRAYS"  FOUND 

In  the  work  of  corraling, 
through  the  mails,  7,000  Buck- 
nellians  for  purposes  of  registra- 
tion, the  Alumni  Office  also 
brought  into  the  herd  again  many 
"strays"  ■ —  persons  whose  ad- 
dresses, for  some  reason  or  other, 
had  been  unknown,  in  a  number 
of  cases  for  many  years.  By  circu- 
lating lists  of  "lost"  alumni  among 
the  various  district  club  members, 
the  directory  researchers  managed 
to  contact  many  of  the  missing. 
Their  addresses  and  biographies 
will  be  in  the  directory. 

No  drab  recital  of  names  and 
addresses,  "Your  College  Friends" 
will  be  an  artistically  arranged  and 
well  bound  volume,  prepared  to  be 
enjoyed  as  well  as  referred  to  for 
latest  addresses.  Memories  of  col- 
lege days  will  be  stirred  by  photo- 
graphs of  campus  scenes,  as  well 
as  by  the  names  of  undergraduate 
friends. 

Opening  with  a  foreword  by 
President  Marts,  the  directory  will 
feature  a  brief  history  of  Bucknell 
and  a  complete  listing  of  the  trus- 
tees, administration,  faculty  and 
Alumni  Council. 

CONVENIENT  REFERENCE 

The  statistical  data  which,  after 
all,  will  form  the  heart  of  the  di- 
rectory has  been  arranged  with  an 
eye  for  convenient  reference.  First 
will  come  an  alphabetical   tabula- 


A  coast-to-coast  broadcast  direct  from  the  Bucknell 
campus  over  the  Mutual  Broadcasting  System  network 
has  been  arranged  for  Thursday  morning,  October  5, 
from  11  to  11:30  o'clock,  Eastern  Standard  Time. 

Aired  from  the  weekly  college  chapel  in  the  Davis 
Gymnasium,  the  program  will  be  a  cross-section  of  col- 
lege life,  music,  dramatics  and  other  campus  activities 
will  be  represented  during  the  half  hour. 


3,000  Copies 
To  Be  Printed 

tion,  covering  the  following 
points:  full  name,  class,  degree  (if 
any)  ;  other  colleges  attended,  de- 
gree, year;  present  occupation, 
name  of  business  and  official  title; 
home  and  business  address.  Wo- 
men will  be  listed  under  both  sin- 
gle and  married  names. 

Supplementing  this  central  list- 
ing will  be  one  prepared  according 
to  classes  and  a  third  arranged  on 
a  geographical  basis,  according  to 
states  and  towns  throughout  the 
United  States  and  foreign  coun- 
tries. 

L.  Francis  Lybarger,  Jr.,  and 
his  aides  are  confident  the  publica- 
tion date  of  "Your  College 
Friends"  will  mark  the  start  of  the 
greatest  open  season  for  reminisc- 
ing in  recent  Bucknell  history. 


The  Problem  of  Religion,  by 
Charles  F.  McMann,  '94.  Bruce 
Humphries,  Inc.,  Boston,  1939. 

In  this  book  Dr.  McMann,  who 
retired  from  the  Baptist  ministry 
20  years  ago  after  25  years  of  ser- 
vice, attempts  to  investigate  the 
bases  of  that  force  in  human  life 
which  is  called  religion  —  how  it 
began  and  grew,  what  its  func- 
tions are  and  should  be. 

Dr.  McMann's  study,  subtitled 
"An  Objective  View,"  has  been 
prepared  through  a  scientific  in- 
quiry into  the  accepted  sources  of 
history,  science,  philosophy  and 
reason.  Writing  with  complete 
tolerance,  he  makes  clear  how  the 
moving  force  of  religion  originated 
and  developed. 

Citing  the  difficulties  under 
which  religion  is  laboring  in  many 
parts  of  the  world  today,  the  au- 
thor has  no  patience  with  such 
remedies  as  the  creation  of  new  sects 
or  inter-denominational  alliances. 
"A  great  change  is  needed  in  the 
character,  the  teachings,  the  organi- 
zation and  in  the  entire  modus 
operandi  of  religion,"  he  writes. 


OCTOBER,  1939 


The  Outlook  In  Football 


By  Al  Humphreys,  Head  Coach 


Making  predictions  about  our 
football  season  this  fall  is  just 
about  as  risky  a  business  as  an- 
nouncing that  you  know  which 
way  the  military  scrimmages 
over  in  Europe  are  going  to  turn 
out,  but  there  have  been  a  few 
things  which  stood  out  as  the 
boys  moved  through  their  pre- 
season practices. 

First  of  all,  we  have  a  number 
of  men  who  are  capable  of  provid- 
ing an  interesting  afternoon  for 
any  team  on  the  schedule.  Al- 
though we  lost  10  lettermen,  in- 
cluding six  regulars,  from  the 
1938  eleven,  we  still  have  a  handy 
nucleus  of  10  men  who  earned 
their  letters.  There  are  also  some 
valuable  men  coming  up  from 
last   year's   freshman   club. 

The  main  difficulty,  though,  is 
that  we  lack  depth  in  virtually 
every  position.  With  our  squad 
of  30,  we  can  place  dependable 
performers  at  each  post,  but  in 
present-day  football  it's  often  the 
calibre  of  the  second  or  even  third- 
string  reinforcements  which  counts. 

Forgetting  about  our  lack  of 
replacements  —  as  much  as  we 
can — ,  it  looks  as  if  the  first  team 
this  year  will  be  about  on  a  par 
with  the  1938  eleven,  which  won 
five  and  lost  three,  if  we  can  un- 
cover a  running  and  passing  back 
to  fill  the  shoes  of  Lou  Toma- 
setti. 

WILL  MISS  TOMASETTI 

To  fill  Tomasetti's  left  half- 
back post,  we've  been  experiment- 
ing with  both  George  Kiick,  our 
197-pound  fullback,  and  Frank 
Funair,  who  made  the  94-yard 
run  in  the  Penn  State  game  last 
fall.  If  Kiick  lands  the  job,  Fu- 
nair will  probably  stay  at  right 
halfback,  while  either  Frank  Ser- 
rao,  a  junior,  or  George  Boner,  a 
sophomore,  will  play  fullback. 
Our  most  experienced  candidate  for 
the  quarterback  berth  vacated  by 
Bill  Lane  is  Laverne  "Dukes" 
Dueger,  a  junior  who  played  good 
ball  in  the  Georgetown  game  last 
year  after  Lane  was  injured  in  the 
first  play  of  the  game. 

In  the  line  there  are  lettermen 
available  for  all  the  positions  ex- 
cept right  end,  where  two  sopho- 
mores, Willard  Gore  and  Ed  Glass, 
are  competing  for  the  assignment. 


At  the  other  wing   is  a  two-year 
veteran,   rugged  Harry  Wenner. 

The  holdover  tackles  are  Frank 
Pocius,  a  six-foot  one  220- 
pounder,  and  Harry  Sitarsky,  both 
of  whom  are  younger  brothers  of 
former  Bison  gridiron  stars.  At 
guard  three  lettermen  are  on  hand: 
John  Plewak,  so  aggressive  and 
fast  that  he  plays  first-string  ball 
despite  the  fact  he  weighs  only 
145  pounds:  Nicholas  Priore,  an- 
other comparatively  light  man  at 
170  pounds,  and  Joe  Grieco.  In 
the  center  of  the  line  we  have  Mike 
Pegg,  who  has  been  a  60-minute 
man  in  almost  every  contest  of  the 
past  two  campaigns. 

FOES  ARE  FORMIDABLE 

In  the  last  analysis,  the  success 
of  our  season  may  be  determined, 
not  by  what  we  do,  but  by  the 
strength  of  the  opposition.  At 
this  writing,  our  foemen  really 
look  formidable.  .  For  instance, 
Jim  Crowley,  the  Fordham  coach, 
predicts  that  Syracuse  and  Penn 
State  will  be  the  two  most  im- 
proved teams  in  the  East  this 
year.  Georgetown,  our  Homecom- 
ing rival,  went  through  undefeated 
last  year,  and  is  reputed  to  be  even 
more  powerful  this  fall.  Under  a 
new     and     hustling     coach,     Fred 


Swan,  Temple  should  be  tougher 
than  usual.  And  among  George 
Washington  Muhlenberg,  Gettys- 
burg, Albright  and  Western  Mary- 
land, we'll  find  no  pushovers. 

Facing  this  lineup,  we  are  for- 
tunate again  this  year  in  having 
co-captains  who  are  not  only  good 
football  players,  but  also  responsi- 
ble leaders.  They  are  Mike  Pegg 
and  George  Kiick,  a  pair  of  200- 
pound  stalwarts  who  remind  one 
of  the  old  Greek  legend  of  Damon 
and  Pythias. 

Mike  and  George  have  been 
buddies  on  and  off  the  gridiron 
for  the  past  three  seasons.  On  the 
playing  field  they  have  teamed  up 
to  give  us  a  rugged  line-backing 
duo,  Pegg  at  center  and  Kiick  at 
fullback.  Away  from  the  stadium 
they  have  been  roommates,  taking 
the  same  course  of  study  in  pre- 
paration   for   teaching   careers. 

The  brand  of  indomitable  spirit 
that  Pegg  and  Kiick  have  shown 
is  not  restricted  to  them  alone; 
other  men  on  the  squad  have  it, 
too.  And  that's  why  we  -may 
sometime  take  a  game  which,  on 
the  basis,  of  manpower  alone, 
we'd  have  no  right  to  win.  And 
that's  why  forecasting  a  football 
season  comes  under  the  heading  of 
"precarious    occupations".

Largest  Class  Graduated 
At  June  Commencement 


The  largest  number  of  persons 
ever  to  enter  Bucknell's  alumni 
ranks  at  one  time  received  diplo- 
mas June  12  at  the  89th  annual 
Commencement  exercises  in  Davis 
Gymnasium.  When  the  ceremony 
had  concluded,  the  alumni  body 
had  increased  by  247. 

Even  Commencement-seasoned 
old-timers  agreed  that  this  year's 
graduation  was  in  many  ways  the 
finest  ever  held  at  Bucknell.  With 
two  thousand  persons  looking  on 
in  the  brilliantly-decorated  gym- 
nasium, the  ceremony  was  a  fitting 
farewell  for  the  largest  senior  class 
in   history. 

It  was  an  all-alumni  Com- 
mencement, since  the  traditional 
address  was  replaced  by  a  panel 
discussion  on  "Values  of  a  College 
Education"  by  three  prominent 
alumni,  two  educators  and  a  social 
worker.  These  speakers  received 
honorary  degrees  during  the  exer- 
cises. 

In  the  discussion  Dr.  Edwin  E. 
Aubrey,  '17,  professor  of  Chris- 
tian theology  and  ethics  at  the 
University  of  Chicago;  Dr.  Stan- 
ley P.  Davies,  '12,  executive  di- 
rector of  New  York  City's  Com- 
munity Service  Society,  and  Dr. 
Chester  P.  Higby,  '08,  professor  of 
history  at  the  University  of  Wis- 
consin, answered  questions  put  to 
them  by  President  Arnaud  C. 
Marts. 

"Evaluate  every  person  whom 
you  meet  as  an  individual  in  his 
own  right,  avoiding  lazy  generali- 
zations,"  advised  Dr.   Davies. 

In  a  plea  for  the  formation  of  a 
philosophy  of  life,  Dr.  Aubrey 
declared,  "An  abandonment  of  co- 
ordinated thinking  paves  the  way 
for  fascism  and  revolution.  The 
man  or  woman  who  has  no  phi- 
losophy of  life  is  a  prey  to  every 
fad;  he  is  grist  for  the  mill  of  the 
next  demagogue  who  knows  where 
to  go  and  which  educated  fools 
to  use." 

Giving  hints  for  efforts  at  self- 
education,  Dr.  Higby  told  the 
post-college  student  "to  select 
books  carefully,  to  read  intelli- 
gently and  to  use  taste  and  dis- 
crimination. One  should  be  as 
careful  about  what  he  reads  as 
about  what  he  eats." 

Following  the  question-answer 
session  Bucknell  conferred  the  hon- 


orary degree  of  Doctor  of  Laws 
upon  Dr.  Higby  and  also  upon  Dr. 
Francis  B.  Haas,  president  of  the 
Bloomsburg,  Pa.,  State  Teachers 
College  since  1927.  Dr.  Davies  re- 
ceived the  degree  of  Doctor  of  Hu- 
mane Letters,  while  Dr.  Aubrey 
was  honored  with  the  Doctor  of 
Divinity  degree. 

ROBERTS  HONORED 

Another  highlight  of  the  gradu- 
ation ceremony  was  the  naming  of 
Dr.  Daniel  C.  Roberts,  Wilkes- 
Barre  philanthropist  and  honorary 
chairman  of  the  Board  of  Trustees, 
as  Bucknell's  "Man  of  the  Year." 

Describing  Dr.  Roberts  as  "an 
outstanding  leader  of  Bucknell's 
destiny,"  President  Marts  presented 
an  inscribed  wristwatch  to  him 
and  told  of  his  benefactions  during 
the  past  twelve  months  to  the  en- 
gineering building,  Junior  College, 
debt  reduction  and  new  library 
funds. 

In  addition  to  the  247  bacca- 
laureate and  four  honorary  de- 
grees, 23  Master's  degrees  were  also 
conferred.  Highest  student  honors 
went  to  Miss  Adelaide  Delluva, 
Bethlehem,  and  Robert  Griesemer, 
Reading,  who  received  their  Bach- 
elor of  Science  degrees  with  the  dis- 
tinction, "Summa  Cum  Laude." 
Three  academic  prizes  also  went 
to  Miss  Delluva. 

Commencement  was  the  climax 
of  a  crowded  week-end  that  opened 
with  a  Trustee-Faculty  dinner 
Friday  night  and  gained  full  mo- 
mentum Saturday  with  Alumni 
Day  festivities. 

HOSTETTER  ELECTED 

The  name  of  Bucknell's  new 
alumni  trustee  was  announced  Sat- 
urday morning  as  the  Board  as- 
sembled for  its  semi-annual  session. 
He  is  Dr.  John  C.  Hostetter,  '08. 
of  West  Hartford,  Conn.,  who 
was  elected  to  the  Board  through 
an  alumni  mail  ballot. 

Dr.  Hostetter  is  vice-president 
in  charge  of  research  and  develop- 
ment for  the  Hartford-Empire 
Company,  producers  of  glass-mak- 
ing machinery.  While  working  as 
director  of  development  and  re- 
search for  the  Corning  Glass  Com- 
pany, he  supervised  the  manufac- 
ture of  the  largest  of  all  telescope

At  the  same  time  Alfred  C. 
Howell,  of  New  York  City,  vice- 
president  of  the  Guaranty  Trust 
Company,  was  also  named  to  the 
Board.  He  is  president  of  the  An- 
nuity Fund  for  Congregational 
Ministers  and  the  Retirement  Fund 
for  Lay  Workers. 

450  AT  LUNCHEON 

Later  in  the  day  450  persons 
attended  the  annual  alumni  lunch- 
eon in  the  College  Dining  Hall. 
All  but  two  of  the  reunion  classes 
were  united  for  this  affair,  at  which 
the  principal  speaker  was  President 
Marts.  Other  speakers  included 
Dr.  Carl  L.  Millward,  of  Milton, 
retiring  president  of  the  General 
Alumni  Association,  and  L. 
Francis  Lybarger,  Jr.,  acting  alum- 
ni secretary.  Miss  Trennie  E. 
Eisley,  retiring  president  of  the 
General  Alumnae  Association,  was 
toastmistress. 

The  Alumni  Association,  at  its 
annual  business  meeting  shortly 
after  the  luncheon,  elected  as  its 
president  Edgar  A.  Snyder,  '11,  of 
South  Orange,  N.  J.  Andrew  R. 
Mathieson,  '20,  of  Pittsburgh,  was 
named  vice-president,  and  L.  F. 
Lybarger,  Jr.,  '28,  of  Mifflinburg, 
and  Dayton  L.  Ranck,  '16,  of 
Lewisburg,  were  re-elected  to  the 
posts  of  secretary  and  treasurer,  re- 
spectively. Dr.  Millward  was 
elected  to  the  executive  committee. 

New  president  of  the  General 
Alumnae  Association  will  be  Miss 
Nancy  L.  Griffith,  '31.  Other  offi- 
cers include:  Mrs.  M.  L.  Drum  '98, 
vice-president;  Mrs.  Fred  Zeller, 
'15,  recording  secretary;  Mrs.  Zel- 
man  Sleighter,  '31,  corresponding 
secretary  and  Miss  Catherine  Stahl, 
'22,  treasurer.  Mrs.  Elizabeth 
Bates  Hoffman,  '94,  and  Miss 
Mary  Kunkle,  '11,  were  elected  to 
the  Board  of  Managers. 

Other  features  of  the  gala  Com- 
mencement week-end  were  the  bac- 
calaureate service  Sunday  morning 
and  the  presentation  of  Beethoven's 
"Missa  Solemnis"  Sunday  evening, 
both  in  the  Davis  Gymnasium.

was  the  topic  of  President  Marts' 
baccalaureate  address.

Matty'  Honored  During 
Baseball's  Centennial 


Main  Observance 
At  Cooperstown,  N.  Y. 


Throughout  Baseball's  Centen- 
nial Year,  which  is  now  drawing 
toward  its  close,  the  memory  of 
Christy  Mathewson,  '02,  one  of 
the  immortals  of  the  game,  has 
been  honored  in  countless  celebra- 
tions throughout  the  land. 

Wherever  fans  and  players  as- 
sembled to  review  the  100-year 
history  of  the  national  pastime, 
the  feats  of  the  great  "Big  Six" 
were  bound  to  play  a  part  in  the 
pageantry.  Heart  of  the  national 
observance  was  Cooperstown,  N. 
Y.,  the  cradle  of  baseball,  and  there 
on  May  11  the  population  of  the 
central  New  York  state  town,  to- 
gether with  hundreds  of  visitors, 
turned  out  to  mark  Christy 
Mathewson  Day. 

The  celebration  centered  around 
the  unveiling  by  Mrs.  Mathewson 
of  a  bust  of  the  famed  pitcher  in 
Cooperstown's  National  Baseball 
Museum,  a  neat  little  building  in 
which  the  relics  and  trophies  of 
the  game's  past  are  housed.  A 
work  of  the  late  Gertrude  Boyle 
Kanno,  the  bust  shows  Mathew- 
son's  face  as  it  might  have  ap- 
peared during  the  stress  of  a  World 
Series  encounter.  In  the  Museum 
it  will  stand  opposite  a  bust  of 
Major  General  Abner  Doubleday, 
who  is  credited  with  inventing  the 
game  of  baseball. 

Speaking  for  Factoryville,  Pa., 
and  Keystone  Academy,  which 
Mathewson  attended  before  com- 
ing to  Bucknell,  Byron  S.  Hollins- 
head,  A.  M.  '30,  president  of 
Scranton-Keystone  Junior  College, 
described  the  former  New  York 
Giant  hurler  as  a  "great  national 
hero  honored  for  what  he  was,  not 
for  technical  skill". 

Dr.  Laurens  Seelye,  president  of 
St.  Lawrence  University,  said  that 
Mathewson  was  "a  vindication  of 
our  love  of  sport".  The  Bucknell 
speaker  was  L.  Francis  Lybarger, 
Jr.,  acting  alumni  secretary,  who 
described  outstanding  events  in 
Mathewson's  career. 

Other  highlights  of  the  day  were 
a  parade,  as  well  as  an  attractive 
pageant  presented  by  400  Otsego 
County  Girl  Scouts. 

Presiding  at  the  ceremony  was 
the  Rev.  Wilbur   S.   Sheriff,    '28,

ville,  the  baseball  hero's  home 
town.  A  game  between  Scranton- 
Keystone  Junior  College  and  Buck- 
nell Junior  College  featured  this 
observance.  At  a  memorial  dinner 
at    Scranton-Keystone    the    toast- 


master    was    Major    A.    F.    Ders- 
himer,  '03. 

At  nearby  Sunbury  a  Baseball 
Centennial  program  included  a 
moonlight  tableau  showing 
Christy's  remarkable  "fadeaway" 
delivery. 


pastor  of  the  Cooperstown  Baptist 
Church. 

The  only  flaw  in  the  gala  pro- 
gram came  later  when  St.  Lawrence 
University's  baseball  men  handed 
Bucknell's  Bisons  a  9-5  setback  in 
a  contest  played  on  historic  Dou- 
bleday Field. 

TRIBUTE  BY  MARTS 

The  following  morning,  in  an 
address  at  the  Cooperstown  Baptist 
Church,  President  Arnaud  C. 
Marts  paid  a  final  tribute  to 
"Matty."  "His  influence  for  good 
upon  millions  of  boys  of  his  gen- 
eration is  still  a  vital  factor  in  the 
character  of  our  present  life  in 
America,"  President  Marts  de- 
clared. 

Another  "Mathewson  Day" 
was  celebrated  this  year  at  Factory- 


College  Acquires 
Martin  House 

A  Lewisburg  house  occupied  for 
more  than  40  years  by  a  family 
noted  in  Bucknell  history  has  been 
acquired  by  the  University,  which 
has  remodelled  it  for  use  as  an 
auxiliary  dormitory  for  women 
students. 

The  new  college  property  is  the 
Martin  house  on  St.  George  Street. 
It  was  the  residence  of  the  late 
Professor  and  Mrs.  William  E. 
Martin  and  their  daughter.  Profes- 
sor Eliza  J.  Martin,  '00,  late  li- 
brarian of  the  University,  who 
died  a  year  ago.  William  E.  Mar- 
tin was  a  Bucknell  graduate,  class 
of  1871,  while  Mrs.  Martin  was 
Institute  '62.

ELMIRA 

Coach  Albert  E.  Humphreys 
discussed  Bucknell's  football  pros- 
pects at  the  most  recent  meeting  of 
the  Elmira  Alumni  Club  at  the 
Hotel  Rathbun.  He  also  showed 
motion  pictures  of  several  Bucknell 
games. 

The  Bison  leader  was  introduced 
by  Coach  Carl  Snavely  of  Cornell, 
former  Bucknell  mentor,  who  pre- 
sented the  Big  Red  coaching  staff: 
Max  Reed,  '24,  line  coach;  Mose 
Quinn,  '34,  freshman  coach,  and 
George  K.  "Lefty"  James,  '30,  end 
coach. 

Lloyd  Trimmer,  '28,  Towanda 
High  School  coach  and  president 
of  the  Bradford  County  Bucknell 
Alumni  Association,  also  was 
among  the  speakers.  Sanford  L. 
Barcus,  '34,  president  of  the  Elmira 
alumni  chapter,  welcomed  the  70 
guests,  as  did  William  P.  Hurley, 
'27,  secretary. 

The  club  has  been  instrumental 
in  arranging  for  at  least  six  Elmira 
boys  to  enter  Bucknell  this  fall. 
The  next  meeting  of  the  organiza- 
tion is  scheduled  for  late  October. 

Present  officers  of  the  club,  in 
addition  to  Barcus  and  Hurley,  are 
Grover  Foresman,  '19,  vice-presi- 
dent, and  Anthony  Schwenkler, 
'21,  treasurer.  . 

METROPOLITAN 

Since  our  last  report  in  these 
pages  we  have  had  two  rousing 
meetings,  the  first  on  April  14  at 
Beekman  Towers  in  New  York 
City,  attended  by  55  alumni,  and 
the  second  on  June  10,  a  joint 
basket  picnic  at  Liberty  Corners, 
N.  J.,  attended  by   110  alumni. 

At  the  New  York  meeting  we 
listened  to  an  excellent  address  by 
William  R.  White,  '26,  commis- 
sioner of  banking  of  New  York 
state.  He  gave  us  an  intimate  and 
entertaining  glimpse  of  the  work 
of  bank  supervision.  We  were 
also  honored  by  the  presence  of 
Professor  Walter  S.  Harley,  '87, 
of  Brooklyn,  N.  Y.,  who  gave 
an  intimate  picture  of  the  Bucknell 
of  52  years  ago..  He  was  in  col- 
lege when  the  first  Bucknell  foot- 
ball game  was  played,  and  his 
class  was  the  first  in  which  women 
were  graduated. 

Rev.  Edward  C.  Kunkle,  '97, 
chairman  of  the  scholarship  com- 
mittee, reported  that  16  boys  and 


girls  had  applied  for  the  Metro- 
politan scholarship,  with  14  sched- 
uled to  take  the  examinations  on 
April  22.  Since  then  the  examina- 
tions have  been  held  and  a  young 
man  from  the  metropolitan  area 
has   received   the   scholarship. 

The  association  took  note  of  the 
anniversary  on  April  7  of  Dr. 
Marts'  appointment  as  full-time 
president  of  Bucknell,  expressing 
unanimous  appreciation  of  his  fine 
work  and  our  whole-hearted  sup- 
port in  all  his  undertakings. 

LEWISBURG  ALUMNAE 

Mrs.  Earle  L.  Moyer,  '28,  was 
re-elected  president  of  the  Alumnae 
Club  of  Lewisburg  at  the  final 
spring  meeting  of  the  group.  Other 
officers  named  were:  Mrs.  Paul  M. 
Showalter,  '33,  vice-president; 
Miss  Trennie  Eisley,  '31,  secre- 
tary; Mrs.  Elizabeth  Bates  Hoff- 
man,   '94,   treasurer. 

Officers  and  members  of  the  pro- 
gram and  social  committees  acted 
as  hostesses  at  the  alumni  get-to- 
gether Saturday  afternoon  of 
Commencement   week-end. 

Fall  activities  of  the  club  will 
begin  with  a  tureen  supper  on 
Tuesday  evening,  October   10. 

ROCHESTER 

Twenty-six  Bucknellians  and 
their  guests  attended  a  dinner  meet- 
ing at  the  University  of  Rochester 
Faculty  Club  on  June  1.  Through 
the  efforts  of  Mr.  Lybarger  we 
were  privileged  to  have  as  our 
guests  Dr.  and  Mrs.  Norman  H. 
Stewart.  Dr.  Stewart  gave  an  in- 
teresting talk  on  the  subject,  "Tak- 
ing the  Pulse  of  Bucknell." 

Plans  are  being  made  for  the 
first  fall  meeting  which  is  to  be 
held  shortly. 

ALEXANDER  ROLLER.  '21, 
Secretary. 

UNION  COUNTY 

Under  the  capable  leadership  of 
our  president,  Malcolm  Musser, 
the  Bucknell  University  Alumni 
Club  of  Union  County  has  been 
increasingly  active  during  the  past 
few  months.  An  executive  board 
meeting  was  held  at  the  Lewisburg 
Inn  on  May  29  to  arrange  for  a 
pre-Commencement  get-together  of 
club  members  at  a  dinner  meeting 
June  6  at  the  Hotel  Lewisburger. 

Dr.  Norman  H.  Stewart  was 
guest  speaker  at  the  meeting,  de- 


lighting the  67  members  and 
guests  with  a  discourse  on  "Taking 
the  Pulse  of  Bucknell." 

A  set  of  resolutions  was  read 
and  adopted  to  the  memory  of  the 
late  Christy  Mathewson  on  the 
hundredth  anniversary  of  baseball 
and  another  set  was  presented  fav- 
oring the  continuance  of  the  dia- 
mond sport  here  on  the  campus  at 
Bucknell. 

The  club  had  originally  planned 
to  hold  a  picnic  in  July  at  the 
Christian  Association  Recreation 
Cabin  at  Cowan,  but  upon 
learning  that  the  Summer  Ses- 
sion students  were  sponsoring 
a  huge  ox-roast  on  the  same 
date,  decided  to  cooperate  with 
that  group  and  become  better 
acquainted  with  summer  school 
students  and  faculty  members. 

With  the  date  yet  to  be  an- 
nounced, it  is  planned  to  hold  a 
pre-Homecoming  meeting  early  in 
October.  At  that  time  the  club 
will  celebrate  the  first  anniversary 
of  its  founding.  There  will  be  a 
business  session  and  election  of 
officers.  The  club  voted  to  assist 
the  Alumni  Secretary,  L.  Francis 
Lybarger,  and  his  committee,  in 
staging  the  second  annual  Home- 
coming dance  on  October  21  fol- 
lowing the  Bison  clash  with 
Georgetown. 

We'll  look  for  you  at  Home- 
coming! 

Florence  Utt  Focht,  '26, 

Secretary.

The  BUCKNELL  ALUMNI  MONTHLY 


College  Receives 
Five  Class  Gifts 

Five  classes  —  1899,  1914, 
1928,  1929  and  1939  —  have  re- 
cently presented  to  the  University- 
valuable  gifts  which  will  make 
possible  a  lighting  system  for  the 
Stadium  roadway,  a  new  scholar- 
ship, books  for  the  library,  a 
plaque  on  which  the  name  of 
Bucknell's  "Man  of  the  Year"  will 
be  inscribed  annually  and  a  por- 
trait of  President  Arnaud  C.  Marts. 

Members  of  the  Class  of  1928 
voted  to  provide  funds  for  illumi- 
nating tht  road  which  leads  from 
the  Sigma  Chi  house  to  the  Stadi- 
um and  Davis  Gymnasium.  The 
metal  standards  and  cables  pur- 
chased by  the  class  are  to  be  in 
place  this  fall.  As  part  of  the  gen- 
eral program  for  improving  this 
section  of  the  campus,  the  Univer- 
sity also  plans  to  construct  a  side- 
walk alongside  the  Stadium  lane. 

As  its  benefaction,  the  10-year 
reunion  Class  of  1929  turned  over 
its  memorial  fund,  which  had 
mounted  to  $2,100,  to  the  Uni- 
versity for  the  establishment  of  a 
scholarship. 

The  Class  of  1914,  meeting  in

stipulation  that  the  volumes 
should  be  added  to  the  foreign  lan- 
guage collections.  The  class  de- 
cided upon  this  appropriate  gift 
since  two  of  its  members  are  Dr.

300  Bucknellians  Entertained 
At  Estate  of  Rush  Kress,  '00 


Two  New  Records  Set 
By  Summer  School 

Two  new  records  were  set  by 
the  Bucknell  Summer  School 
which  ended  August  4.  The  en- 
rollment of  573  was  one  all-time 
high,  while  the  64  persons  upon 
whom  degrees  were  conferred  at 
the  August  convocation  formed  the 
largest  contingent  of  Summer  de- 
gree candidates  in  history. 

Master's  degrees  went  to  45  stu- 
dents at  the  end  of  the  six-week 
session,  and  19  men  and  women 
received  bachelor's  degrees. 


Three  hundred  Bucknellians 
were  entertained  for  supper  on  the 
evening  of  September  8  by  Rush 
H.  Kress,  '00,  at  his  beautiful  es- 
tate, Rcckhill,  at  Ossining-on-the- 
Hudson.  Mr.  Kress  entertained 
his  guests  in  a  large  tent  set  up  in 
his  gardens  for  the  occasion. 

Guests  of  honor  were  President 
Marts,  Judge  J.  Warren  Davis, 
from  the  trustees,  William  C. 
Walls,  Joseph  W.  Henderson, 
John  C.  Hosteler,  and  William 
R.  White,  and  four  members  of 
the  Bucknell  faculty  and  adminis- 
tration. Prof.  Benjamin  Griffith, 
Prof.  Frank  Burpee,  Prof.  Malcolm 
Musser,  and  L.  Francis  Lybarger, 
Jr.,  alumni  secretary.  Edgar  A. 
Snyder,  retiring  president  of  the 
New  York  Alumni  Association 
and  new  president  of  the  General 
Alumni  Association,   presided. 

Mr.  Marts  paid  tribute  to  the 
loyal  services  Mr.  Kress  has  ren- 
dered to  Bucknell  in  the  past  and 
especially  to  the  constant  assistance 
Mr.  Kress  has  given  to  his  admin- 
istration. He  said  that  he  and 
Judge  Davis  had  repeatedly  urged 
Mr.  Kress  to  accept  re-election  on 
Bucknell's  board  of  trustees,  but 
that  Mr.  Kress'  health  and  business 
activity  had  prevented  him  from 
accepting.  He  reported,  however, 
that  Mr.  Kress  had  agreed  to  serve 


on  the  Bucknell  Athletic  Council 
and  that  he  was  happy  to  announce 
the  election  of  Mr.  Kress  to  that 
important  council  for  a  period  of 
three  years. 

Judge  Davis,  Chairman  of  the 
Board  of  Trustees,  spoke  of  his 
great  pleasure  that  Mr.  Kress  had 
agreed  to  serve  in  this  capacity  and 
referred  to  him  as  an  alumnus  of 
outstanding  success,  calling  him 
"Bucknell's  Exhibit  A." 

Mr.  Kress  told  of  his  desire  to 
be  of  service  to  Bucknell  and  sug- 
gested that  all  Bucknellians  join  in 
an  effort  during  the  next  three  or 
four  years  to  wipe  out  the  accu- 
mulated deficit  of  the  Athletic 
Council  which  had  been  carried 
along  for  many  years,  now 
amounting  to  $37,000.  He  of- 
fered to  pay  off  one-third  of  this 
debt  if  others  would  join  him. 

During  the  program  those  pres- 
ent stood  in  silence  for  a  moment 
in  memory  of  President  Harris, 
President  Hunt,  Dr.  Swartz,  and 
other  great  Bucknellians  who  have 
passed  on. 

Officers  of  the  New  York  Alum- 
ni Association  for  the  coming  year 
were  elected  as  follows:  Julius  F. 
Seebach,  '20,  president;  Charles  T. 
Farrow,  '26,  vice-president;  Joseph 
D.  Dent,  '20,  treasurer;  and  Mary 
J.  Harrar,  '26,  secretary. 


1880' s  Memorial 
Returned  to  Old  Main 


the  columns  on  each  side  of  the 
entrance  to  Old  Main,  but  further 
investigation  has  disclosed  that 
there  was  only  one  memorial. 


The  missing  memorial  plaque  of 
the  Class  of  1880  is  back  in  place 
on  one  of  the  columns  of  Old 
Main. 

Shortly  after  the  March  Alumni 
Monthly  carried  a  story  telling  of 
the  disappearance  of  the  plaque, 
Treasurer  D.  L.  Ranck,  '16,  re- 
ceived a  package  containing  the 
circular  metal  disk  bearing  the 
motto,  "Post  Proelium  Praemi- 
um." 

The  plaque  was  returned  by  an 
alumnus  who  had  picked  it  up 
after  the  Old  Main  fire  in  1932, 
not  realizing  its  historical  value.  He 
was  glad  to  return  it  when  he 
learned,  through  the  Monthly,  that 
the  University  wanted  to  restore 
it  to  its  place  on  the  column. 

At  first  it  was  believed  that 
identical    plaques    were    affixed    to

of  Women's  Clubs  as  a  business 
luncheon.  A  committee  from  the 
association  headed  by  Mrs.  James

Hospital  September  12  in  prepara- 
tion for  the  annual  Christmas  seal

PRESIDEIirS  PAGE 


Dear  Bucknellians: 

On  February  5  th,  Bucknell  passed  its  94th  birthday.  We 
had  no  formal  celebration  for  the  college  was  on  a  half  holiday 
between  the  semesters,  but  many  of  us  remembered  the  day  with 
a  thought  of  appreciation  for  the  service  your  Alma  Mater  has 
rendered  to  civilization  in  its  long  span  of  years. 

There  are  four  matters  of  especial  interest  on  which  I  wish 
to  report  to  you  briefly  in  this  issue. 

First:     Three  trustees  have  given  us  $100,000  more  toward 

our  new  Library,  bringing  our  Library  Fund  now  to  a  total  of 

$150,000.      Thus,    we    are    making    rapid   progress    toward   our 

dream    of    a    beautiful    and    roomy    Library    which    we    hope 

will     be     built     in     the     not     too     distant     future     on     the 

plateau    between    the    Engineering    Building    and    the    Stadium. 

This  Library  will  contain  space  for  over  two  hundred  treasured  books  and  will  cost  about 

$3  50,000.     Reading  and  studying  should  take  on  new  dignity  and  zest  on  our  campus 

when  this  building  is  erected.    We  are  eternally  grateful  to  these  three  gentlemen. 

I  presume  I  should  not  mention  names,  but  you  doubtless  know,  without  my  saying 
so,  that  one  of  them  is  the  Honorary  Chairman  of  our  Board,  Dr.  Daniel  C.  Roberts. 
Though  he  has  been  confined  to  his  house  with  illness  for  many  weeks  this  winter,  he  has 
not  permitted  his  own  suffering  to  interfere  with  his  thoughtfulness  for  others  nor  with 
his  keen  interest  in  Bucknell.  We  are  proud  of  him,  and  of  his  spirit,  and  are  honored  at 
being  able  to  call  him  a  Bucknellian. 

Second:  The  contractors  are  rapidly  completing  the  Engineering  Building,  thanks 
again  very  largely  to  Dr.  Roberts,  and  it  will  be  ready  for  occupancy  this  summer.  As  a 
consequence,  three  of  our  four  Departments  of  Engineering  have  been  given  full  accredit- 
ment  by  the  Engineering  Council  for  Professional  Development,  and  the  fourth  Depart- 
ment doubtless  will  be  as  soon  as  it  actually  moves  into  its  new  laboratory.  This  new 
equipment  and  new  accreditment  have  brought  new  life  to  our  splendid  Engineering 
Faculty. 

Third:  The  Senate  of  Phi  Beta  Kappa  has  nominated  Bucknell  for  a  chapter  in  this 
honorary  fraternity.  This  nomination  goes  to  the  Council  of  the  United  Chapters  of  Phi 
Beta  Kappa  at  its  Triennial  Meeting  to  be  held  next  September.  It  is  customary  for  the 
Council  to  approve  the  Senate's  nominations.  This  is,  perhaps,  the  highest  recognition 
that  can  come  to  a  college  of  the  liberal  arts  and  sciences.  Of  over  1400  institutions  of 
higher  education  in  the  United  States,  only  132  have  Chapters  of  Phi  Beta  Kappa.  We 
are,  of  course,  gratified  and  stimulated  by  this  recognition  of  Bucknell. 

Finally:  For  the  first  time  in  several  years  we  are  planning  this  year  a  "Religion  in 
Life"  program  on  our  Campus  during  the  days  February  18  th  to  22  nd.  The  war  in 
Europe  has  brought  to  college  students  a  haunting  uncertainty,  a  deep  desire  to  take  hold 
of  some  fixed  and  eternal  value  in  life  to  which  they  can  cling  in  a  world  of  hate  and 
disorder.  I  hope  that  our  "Religion  in  Life"  program  will  help  many  of  our  young  men 
and  women  to  find  deep  and  abiding  foundations  on  which  they  can  build  lines  of 
strength  and  beauty. 

To  each  of  you,  Bucknellians,  Alma  Mater  sends  greetings  wherever  you  may  be, 
and  reminds  you  to  be  loyal  citizens  of  that  better  world-to-be  of  which  Bucknell  is  a 
small  section,  a  world  of  intelligence,  integrity,  and  brotherhood. 

Cordially  yours,

BUCKNELL 

Vol.  XXIV  No.  2  Alumni      Monthly  February,  1940 


Bucknell  Nominated 
For  Phi  Beta  Kappa 

CHRISTMAS  1939  brought  Bucknell  a  gift  which  she 
will  long  prize  —  nomination  into  the  United  chapters 
of  Phi  Beta  Kappa,  national  honorary  scholastic  so- 
ciety. President  Marts  announced  the  nomination  at  the 
annual  Christmas  party  which  was  given  by  the  Women's 
Student  Government  Association  for  the  faculty  and  mem- 
bers of  the  administration  on  Thursday,  December  14. 

In  a  telegram  received  that  morning  by  President  Marts, 
Dr.  Shimer,  secretary  of  the  organization  said,  "The  Senate 
voted  to  recommend  to  the  Council  next  September  that 
Bucknell  University  be  granted  a  chapter  in  Phi  Beta 
Kappa."  Nomination  was  accorded  to  Bucknell  and  eight 
other  colleges  and  universities  by  the  society's  Senate  at  the 
annual  meeting  in  the  Carnegie  Corporation  in  New  York 
City. 

As  was  explained,  nominations  are  tantamount  to  the 
final  election  by  the  tri-annual  meeting  of  the  council  of 
Phi  Beta  Kappa  at  San  Francisco  in  September. 

It  was  announced  by  the  Senate  that  this  was  one  of  the 
largest  groups  admitted  since  the  founding  of  the  organiza- 
tion in  1766.  The  colleges  and  universities  voted  approval 
were:  Albion  College,  Bucknell  University,  Catholic  Uni- 
versity of  America  in  Washington,  Elmira  College,  Mil- 
waukee-Downer College,  Wake  Forrest,  Wofford  College, 
University  of  Denver,  and  University  of  Wyoming. 

President  Marts  Speaks  on  Phi  Beta  Kappa  Program  $100,000  Given  for  New  Library 


On  Sunday  night,  November  12  th,  Dr.  Marts  and  five 
other  leading  college  presidents  spoke  on  the  "American 
Forum  of  the  Air,"  a  program  sponsored  by  the  United 
Chapters  of  Phi  Beta  Kappa  and  broadcast  over  WOR. 
The  forum  proposed  plans  for  the  continuation  of  peace  in 
the  United  States.  The  following  speakers  presented  their 
solutions  to  the  problem:  Dr.  John  J.  Tigert  of  the  Uni- 
versity of  Florida;  Dr.  Daniel  L.  Marsh  of  Boston  Univer- 
sity; Dr.  Arnaud  C.  Marts  of  Bucknell  University;  Dr. 
Gordon  K.  Chalmers  of  Kenyon  College,  Gambier,  O. ;  Dr. 
Franklin  W.  Johnson  of  Colby  College,  Waterville,  Me.; 
and  Dr.  .Thurston  J.  Davies  of  Colorado  College,  Colorado 
Springs,  Colo. 

According  to  that  Sunday  evening  analysis  of  present 
world  affairs,  this  war  will  have  to  be  one  for  the  United 
States  to  take  the  attitude  of  Give  and  not  Get.  To  pre- 
serve peace  the  general  American  public  will  have  to  take  a 
reduction  in  their  personal  incomes  and  not  have  a  greedy 
outlook  on  the  economic  situation. 

Dr.  Marts  was  convinced  that  we  could  not  take  steps 
immediately  to  effect  peace  but  that  the  best  way  to  pre- 
serve it  was  to  follow  a  few  simple  rules: 

1.  Keep  the  United  States  out  of  war. 

2.  Begin  a  movement  toward  world  cooperation. 

3.  Improve  the  democracy  in  the  United  States. 

4.  Place  religion  on  a  higher  plane. 

That  one  of  the  greatest  factors  toward  peace  and  neu- 
trality is  an  honest  and  open-minded  opinion  of  the  whole 
situation  was  the  agreement  of  the  speakers. 


President  Marts  recently  announced  that  he  had  received 
new  gifts  amounting  to  $100,000  which  are  to  be  added 
to  the  fund  for  building  the  new  library.  This  makes  the 
total  contributions  to  date  $150,000,  over  a  third  of  the 
$3  5  0,000  which  the  building  is  to  cost.  The  money  was 
donated  by  three  trustees  of  the  University  who  prefer  to 
remain  anonymous. 

The  new  library,  the  architect's  drawing  of  which  is 
shown  above,  will  be  the  center  point  and  heart  of  the 
Bucknell  campus  of  the  future.  It  will  stand  on  the  high 
plateau  between  the  Engineering  Building  and  the  Memo- 
rial Stadium,  facing  north.  The  building  itself  will  house 
well  over  200,000  volumes  and  will  have  a  seating  capacity 
which  totals  5  00. 

On  the  first  floor  will  be  the  Delivery  Desk  Hall,  this 
delivery  desk  being  in  control  of  the  card  catalogues  and 
adjacent  to  the  cataloguing  room.  All  services  which  neces- 
sitate any  noise  and  confusion  will  be  taken  care  of  on  the 
first  floor  so  that  the  second  floor  can  be  a  quiet,  retired  area 
for  reading  and  study.  Two  main  staircases  will  lead  to 
the  second  floor.  Between  them  will  be  the  large  Lounge 
Reading  Hall.  To  the  right  of  the  Lounge  will  be  the 
librarian's  office,  and  the  Periodical  Reference  and  Per- 
iodical Libraries.  Opening  off  the  lobby  to  the  left  of  the 
Lounge  will  be  the  Bucknell  History  and  Art  Room,  a 
curator's  office,  a  Museum,  a  Records  and  Print  Room,  and 
a  Treasure  Room. 


The  New  Engineering  Building 

By  GEORGE  A.  IRLAND,  '14 

Professor  of  Electrical  Engineering  and  Co-ordinator 
of  Engineering  Departments 


When  the  first  engineering  degree 
was  granted  by  Bucknell  back  in  190 J, 
the  engineering  department  offered 
only  one  course,  Civil  Engineering. 
Since  that  time,  like  the  engineering 
profession  itself,  our  curricula  have 
expanded  by  leaps  and  bounds.  One 
of  the  biggest  "bounds"  is  now  near- 
ing  completion  —  the  erection  of  the 
center  portion  and  new  wing  of  the 
engineering  building. 

During  these  thirty-five  years  of 
development,  three  other  engineering 
curricula  have  been  added,  the  first 
degree  in  Electrical  Engineering  being 
granted  in  1908,  Chemical  Engineer- 
ing five  years  later,  and  Mechanical 
Engineering  in  1914.  Altogether  we 
have  had  974  graduates. 

We  are  on  the  approved  list  of  engi- 
neering colleges  for  civil,  electrical, 
and  mechanical  engineering.  What 
does  being  on  the  accredited  list  mean? 
Well,  in  order  to  promote  the  profes- 
sional status  of  engineering,  seven  years 
ago  representatives  of  the  five  profes- 
sional engineering  societies,  the  So- 
ciety for  the  Promotion  of  Engineer- 
ing Education,  and  the  National 
Council  of  State  Boards  of  Engineer- 
ing Examiners  formed  an  Engineers' 
Council  for  Professional  Development. 
Later  this  Council  decided  that  it  was 
necessary  to  have  some  rating  of  the 


various  schools  which  offer  engineering 
courses.  An  accrediting  committee 
was  formed,  and  it  has  been  the  duty 
of  this  group  to  visit  and  inspect  all 
those  schools  which  apply  for  a  place 
on  the  approved  list.  Accrediting  is 
done  by  curricula  not  by  schools,  in 
other  words,  the  civil  engineering  cur- 
riculum of  one  school  may  be  accred- 
ited although  the  mechanical  and  elec- 
trical are  not.  As  of  October  193  8, 
678  curricula  had  been  submitted  to 
the  committee.  Of  these  499  have 
been  accredited  and  197  rejected.  Of 
the  1 5  5  schools  in  the  United  States 
which  grant  engineering  degrees,  136 
were  inspected.  112  passed  the  ex- 
aminations in  one  or  more  curricula. 
In  civil  engineering  13  5  were  sub- 
mitted, and  110  accredited.  In  elec- 
trical engineering  128  were  submitted, 
and  107  accredited.  In  mechanical 
engineering  123  were  submitted,  and 
102  accredited.  Bucknell  has  the  cur- 
ricula in  civil  engineering,  electrical 
engineering,  and  mechanical  engineer- 
ing accredited.  The  Engineers'  Coun- 
cil for  Professional  Development  does 
not  inspect  curricula  in  chemical  en- 
gineering. These  departments  are  ac- 
credited by  the  American  Institute  of 
Chemical  Engineers  and  the  E.  C.  P. 
D.  then  accepts  the  decision  of  the 
Institute    for    placing    them   on    their 


own  list  of  accredited  curricula.  This 
society  does  not  wish  to  visit  the 
campus  until  the  completion  of  our 
new  laboratories.  However,  at  that 
time  we  are  confidently  expecting  to 
be  placed  on  the  accredited  list  in  this 
field. 

The  new  portion  of  the  building  is 
scheduled  to  be  finished  by  April  15, 
and  the  alterations  in  the  present  wing 
will  be  completed  by  the  first  of  Sep- 
tember. By  the  opening  of  the  1940 
fall  term,  we  shall  have  tripled  the 
floor  space  of  the  present  engineering 
wing,  and  have  added  over  $50,000 
worth  of  new  equipment  in  the  labor- 
atories and  drawing  rooms. 

The  building  itself  is  of  fireproof 
construction  with  reinforced  concrete 
floors  and  terra  cotta  partitions.  Walls 
are  so  erected  that  the  partitions  may 
be  moved  without  requiring  any  essen- 
tial changes  in  the  construction  of  the 
building.

Donald  B.  Gillies  Elected  Trustee  FACULTY    NEWS 


Newest  member  of  the 
Bucknell  University  Board  of 
Trustees  is  Donald  B.  Gillies 
of  Cleveland,  Ohio,  vice- 
president  of  the  Republic 
Steel  Corporation,  who  was 
elected  to  the  Board  at  the 
semi-annual  meeting  of  that 
organization  held  in  Philadel- 
phia on  Saturday,  December 
16  th. 

Election  of  Mr.  Gillies,  as  an- 
nounced by  President  Marts, 
places  on  the  Board  one  of  the 
country's  foremost  mining 
engineers  and  the  president  of  the  American  Institute  of 
Mining  and  Metallurgical  Engineers.  A  graduate  of  the 
Michigan  College  of  Mining  and  Technology  at  Houghton, 
Michigan,  where  he  was  recently  awarded  the  degree  of 
Doctor  of  Engineering,  Mr.  Gillies  has  long  been  asso- 
ciated with  important  mining  interests  in  this  country 
and  Mexico. 

For  many  years  his  principal  interest  was  in  the  Corri- 
gan,  McKinney  Steel  Company  of  which  he  became  presi- 
dent. When  this  company  was  absorbed  by  Republic  Steel 
in  193  5,  Mr.  Gillies  was  made  vice-president  of  the  latter 
company. 

More  than  3  5  trustees  attended  the  meeting  in  the 
Bellevue-Stratford  Hotel  at  which  routine  business  was 
discussed.

Another  year  reaches  the  halfway  mark,  and  another 
link  is  forged  in  the  life  of  the  undergraduate.  This  past 
year  saw  some  four  hundred  young  people  enter  the  portals 
of  Bucknell  as  Freshmen.  In  the  spring  of  1943,  the  best 
of  that  number  will  walk  up  the  aisle  to  get  their  diplomas. 

Many  of  the  class  of  1940  look  ahead  to  the  spring  with 
heavy  hearts.  During  their  four  year  stay  at  Bucknell, 
a  great  many  things  have  come  to  pass.  Old  Main  has 
been  rebuilt;  the  new  Davis  gym  has  been  built;  the  re- 
mainder of  the  engineering  building  has  been  put  up;  and 
the  campaign  for  the  new  library  has  been  opened.  The 
classic  Bucknell  traditions  of  painting  the  water  tower  and 
the  water  parade  have  passed  into  oblivion. 

This  year's  Bucknell  social  season  is  just  well  underway. 
The  Sophomore  Cotillion  with  Les  Brown  is  just  another 
memory,  and  everyone  is  looking  forward  to  the  Junior 
prom  which  will  be  held  on  February  23  rd.  Tails,  tuxedos, 
and  evening  gowns  hold  sway  on  the  campus  every  Sat- 
urday night.  With  the  new  Davis  gym  available,  a  much 
larger  crowd  can  be  accommodated. 

Bucknell  play-goers  have  been  treated  to  two  fine  per- 
formances, HIGH  TOR  and  NIGHT  MUST  FALL.  The 
latter  play  with  superb  acting  was  the  best  play  seen  on  the 
Bucknell  stage  in  recent  years. 

Student  activity  for  the  first  semester  reached  a  new 
high,  and  already  the  calendar  for  second  semester  is 
jammed  to  the  limit  with  all  sorts  of  events.  The  students 
look  forward  to  a  very  busy  spring  which  includes  among 
other  things  —  Spring  Festival,  house  party,  the  Inter- 
collegiate boxing  finals,  another  Cap  and  Dagger  play,  and 
a  GOP  mock  model  national  convention,

Secretary  of  the  Faculty 

Some  of  the  recent  or  prospective  activities  of  members 
of  the  faculty  follow.  The  new  catalogue  lists  Professor 
Lawson  as  "Emeritus."  He  will  be  retired  at  the  end  of 
the  present  school  year.  Professor  Burgee  is  at  Johns  Hop- 
kins this  year  continuing  his  graduate  work.  Professor 
Nimkoff,  who  will  be  away  during  the  second  semester, 
accompanied  by  Mrs.  Nimkoff  will  spend  some  time  in 
Mexico  investigating  social  conditions,  and  will  then  go  to 
the  University  of  Southern  California  for  further  work. 
During  the  summer  he  will  teach  in  the  Summer  School 
of  the  University  of  Oregon. 

Dr.  McCrossen  addressed  the  State  College  chapter  of 
Phi  Beta  Kappa  at  their  annual  dinner  in  December.  The 
speaker  at  an  October  Sunday  Chapel  service  at  State  Col- 
lege was  Professor  Sutherland.  Articles  by  Professor  Oliver 
have  appeared  recently  in  Speech  Magazine,  Christian  Edu- 
cation, Education,  and  the  Bulletin  of  the  Debating  Asso- 
ciation of  Pennsylvania  Colleges.  Professor  Oliphant  has 
had  book  reviews  in  Church  History  and  Pennsylvania 
History. 

Professor  Robbins  was  the  official  representative  of  Buck- 
nell University  at  the  inauguration  on  December  9th  of 
Homer  P.  Rainey  as  president  of  the  University  of  Texas, 
and  with  Mrs.  Robbins  spent  several  days  in  and  around 
Mexico  City  and  attended  the  meeting  of  the  Modern 
Language  Association  at  New  Orleans  before  returning 
to  Lewisburg. 

President  Marts  has  been  frequently  quoted  in  news- 
papers and  magazines  since  he  stated  in  Philadelphia  on 
January  9th,  before  the  Methodist  Section  of  the  Associa- 
tion of  American  Colleges,  his  belief  that  the  private  col- 
lege is  not  going  to  disappear  but  will  continue  to  receive 
financial  support  and  to  hold  an  important  place  in  our 
educational  system.

Rush  Kress/00 

Entertains  Athletic 
Council 

Rush  Kress,  '00,  president  of  the 
Bucknell  University  Athletic  Council, 
entertained  the  council  members  and 
a  number  of  trustees  and  alumni  at 
dinner  in  the  Hotel  Wellington,  Phil- 
adelphia, on  Friday  evening,  December 
15  th. 

The  regular  meeting  of  the  Council, 
which  was  open  to  all  present,  fol- 
lowed the  dinner.  A.  R.  Mathieson, 
'2  0,  chairman  of  the  committee  on 
athletic  policy,  made  a  detailed  report 
compiled  from  questionnaires  returned 
by  interested  alumni.  The  Council 
completed  plans  to  raise  approximately 
$5  0,000  to  eliminate  the  debt  of  the 
Athletic  Council.  A  loyal  alumnus 
who  prefers  to  remain  anonymous  has 
agreed  to  pay  one-third  of  this  amount. 

This  plan  is  in  accord  with  President 
Marts'  program  of  "pay  as  you  go" 
in  the  operation  of  college  activities. 
Harald  E.  Kenseth,  '3  3,  has  been  em- 
ployed by  the  Council  to  assist  in  se- 
curing funds  to  pay  the  balance  of 
the  debt.  Steps  were  taken  to  form  a 
Bison  club  and  plans  will  be  completed 
in  June. 

SPORTS  REVIEW 

By  BILL  TOLAND,  '39 

Eight  Bucknell  University  athletic 
squads  compiled  an  aggregate  .577 
won-and-lost  average  for  the  1939 
sports  season,  a  final  check  on  the 
records  revealed  recently.  The  Bal- 
lentine-coached  tennis  team  produced 
the  best  individual  team  record,  win- 
ning 10  matches  and  losing  only  three. 

The  Bucknell  football  team,  1939 
edition,  finished  below  the  .5  00  mark 


Rush  H.   Kress,   '00 

for  the  first  time  since  1926.  Alto- 
gether, the  numerically-small  Bison 
football  squad  won  three  games  and 
lost  five. 

A  26-3  victory  over  powerful  Muh- 
lenberg College  featured  an  otherwise 
drab  season  for  the  Humphreys- 
coached  Bison  footballers.  Co-Cap- 
tains Kiick  and  Harold  Pegg,  plus  six 
other  seasoned  veterans,  will  graduate 
next  Spring. 

For  the  second  successive  season,  the 
Bucknell  baseball  team  finished  above 
the  .5  00  mark,  winning  eight  games 
and  dropping  five.  The  '39  boxing 
team  climaxed  a  successful  dual-meet 
campaign  by  annexing  the  Eastern  In- 
tercollegiate Boxing  Conference  team 
title. 

The  soccer,  track,  and  basketball 
teams  all  posted  .500  won-and-lost 
marks  for  the  recently  completed  '39 
season.  Altogether,  the  Bucknell 
sports  squads  won  41  contests  and  lost 
30  throughout  the  '39  season.

Greetings  to  all  Alumni: 

I  had  the  pleasure  of  seeing  some  of 
you  in  Washington,  Baltimore,  Car- 
lisle, and  Reading  during  December 
and  January.  At  Baltimore  the  squad 
was  supported  by  quite  an  alumni 
group  attending  the  game,  and  inci- 
dentally a  former  Bucknell  football 
captain  and  athlete,  Victor  Schmid, 
'12,  was  one  of  the  officials  in  the 
Baltimore  game.  "Vic"  has  been  offi- 
ciating basketball  for  years  and  is  an 
excellent  official.

The  State  win  was  the  first  Buck- 
nell basketball  victory  over  Penn 
State  in  a  quarter  of  a  century. 

You  will  observe  by  the  schedule 
that  we  are  entering  the  Eastern  Penn- 
sylvania Collegiate  League  this  year 
for  the  first  time.  The  other  League 
members  are  noted  annually  for  their 
strong  basketball  teams.  For  instance, 
last  year  Gettysburg  College,  the 
League  winner,  defeated  among  other 
teams  Navy  and  University  of  Penn- 
sylvania. Where  Bucknell  will  finish 
this  year  in  the  League  standing  I  can- 
not predict.  Years  of  coaching  have 
taught  me  that  basketball  is  unpre- 
dictable and  full  of  uncertainties. 

As  you  know,  when  the  human  ele- 
ment   enters    into    consideration    it    is 


Mai  Musser,  '18 

sometimes  difficult  to  measure  results 
accurately.  There  are  many  human 
and  intangible  factors  which  charac- 
terize successful  basketball  players  and 
yet  are  not  easy  to  estimate  in  exact 
quantity  or  dimension. 

Probably  some  of  you  will  be  able  to 
meet  us  at  one  or  more  of  our  remain- 
ing games.  We  may  look  terrible  the 
particular  night  you  see  us  play,  but 
we  cannot  help  but  think,  in  this 
present  time,  as  we  step  into  1940  with 
the  world  conditions  as  they  are,  that 
there  are  just  a  few  matters  in  this  life 
of  more  importance  than  winning  or 
losing  a  basketball  game.  So  we  at- 
tempt to  keep  in  mind  in  all  our  work 
that  an  education  through  the  phys- 
ical is  a  higher  type  of  education  and 
a  finer  goal  toward  which  to  aim  than 
just    an    educational    of    the    physical. 

And  in  the  last  analysis,  I  am  of 
course  concerned  with  when  these  men 
play,  where  they  play,  what  they  play, 
but      I      am      primarily      and      prin- 


cipally concerned  with  HOW  they 
play.  The  moment  we  begin  to 
reflect  upon  the  significance  of 
life  we  realize,  do  we  not,  that  quality 
is  vastly  more  important  than  dura- 
tion. Probably  it  is  true  that  quality 
is  the  greatest  lack  in  life.  This  lack 
marks  our  education,  our  business  life, 
our  ethics,  our  professional  standards, 
our  family  relationships,  and  our  reli- 
gion. This  is  one  reason  why  my 
supreme  emphasis  is  not  on  merely 
winning  or  losing  but  on  playing  each 
game  hard,  to  the  end,  and  always 
playing  it  clean. 

We  feel  that  when  we  play  this  way 
we  are  attempting  to  live  up  to  the 
"Bucknell  way  of  life,"  which  is,  in 
the  words  of  President  Marts,  "the 
way  of  intelligence,  of  integrity,  and 
of  brotherhood." 


NEW  BUCKNELL  MOVIE 

The  new  three-reel  sound  on 
film  motion  picture  of  Bucknell, 
in  color,  is  now  ready  for  showing 
to  alumni  clubs  and  high  schools. 
Possibly  the  college  preparatory 
group  in  your  local  high  school 
would  like  to  see  it!  If  you  can 
arrange  for  a  showing,  please 
write  to  the  Alumni  Office. 


1940  ENROLLMENT 

At  the  present  time  there  are  more 
applications  for  admission  to  Bucknell 
than  there  were  last  year,  or  two  years 
ago,  although  both  of  those  years  were 
record  ones  for  applications.  This  is 
just  a  suggestion  that  sons  and 
daughters  and  friends  should  file  their 
applications  early  to  be  assured  of 
admission  in  September.

American  Book  Company,  Boston, 
1939. 

As  John  Lothrop  Motley  is  properly 
placed  in  the  category  of  "literary" 
historians,  the  services  of  two  editors 
were  drafted  to  prepare  this  volume, 
one  from  the  field  of  history,  the 
other  from  the  field  of  American  lit- 
erature. To  Professor  Higby  was  as- 
signed the  responsibility  of  making  the 
selections  from  Motley's  three  major 
historical  works  and  of  writing  that 
portion  of  the  Introduction  which 
treats  of  Motley's  work  as  a  historian 
and  as  a  diplomat. 

In  the  long  introduction  to  his  writ- 
ings, Motley  is  explained  in  terms  of 
the  genetic  inter-relations  of  his  po- 
litical, social,  religious,  and  literary 
theories.  Written  with  the  purpose  of

Registration  in  Roberts  Hall  at  Homecoming. 


The  largest  Homecoming  crowd  in  several  years 
gathered  last  October  21st  to  celebrate  the  occasion 
and  renew  old  acquaintances.  A  day  packed  with 
entertainment  had  as  its  climax  the  annual  alumni 
banquet  and  dance. 

President  Marts  was  the  speaker  of  the  evening  at 
the  dinner  with  E.  A.  Snyder,  '11,  president  of  the 
General  Alumni  Association,  as  toastmaster.  Wil- 
liam C.  Walls  '73,  and  Dr.  Sam  Bolton,  '82,  were  the 
two  oldest  Bucknellians  present  and  were  introduced 
as  such  by  Mr.  Marts.  Mrs.  Chester  R.  Leaber,  nee

'98,  of  Houston,  Texas,  traveled  the  greatest  distance 
in  order  to  be  present.  Announcement  of  the  plac- 
ing of  the  lights  along  the  stadium  road,  a  gift  of  the 
class  of  '28,  was  made  by  Mr.  Marts.  The  Men's 
Glee  Club  sang  several  numbers. 

During  the  morning  the  annual  Homecoming 
parade  was  held,  with  Phi  Gamma  Delta  winning 
the  prize  for  the  best  fraternity  float.  The  cup 
awarded  by  the  Interfraternity  Council  for  the  best 
chapter  house  decorations  was  captured  by  Delta 
Sigma. 

In  the  afternoon  10,000  watched  Georgetown  de- 
feat a  scrappy  Bison  eleven  13  to  7.  Paul  Burton's 
Orchestra  played  for  the  dance  in  the  Davis  Gym- 
nasium which  followed  the  banquet.

NEW  YORK  METROPOLITAN 

Transported  by  the  magic  of  words 
to  the  old  campus  at  Lewisburg  again 
eighty-five  Bucknellians  thrilled  to 
memories  stirred  by  Dr.  Harry  R. 
Warfel  in  an  address  here  on  January 
12  th  to  the  Bucknell  Alumni  Club  of 
the  Metropolitan  area.  Dr.  Warfel, 
the  biographer  of  Noah  Webster, 
sometime  student  and  professor  at 
Bucknell  and  now  of  the  faculty  of 
the  University  of  Maryland,  spoke  of 
the  place  of  the  free,  small  college  in 
American  education  in  an  address  en- 
titled "What's  In  Your  Attic."  His 
plea  for  tolerance  of  new  ideas  and 
the  shaking  of  old  superstitions  from 
out  the  accumulation  of  junk  in  our 
mental  attics,  if  freedom  of  thought 
in  music,  art,  and  literature  are  to  sur- 
vive, moved  his  audience  to  thunderous 
applause  in  one  of  the  finest  alumni 
meetings  of  this  club  in  years. 

References  by  the  speaker  to  old 
Pennsylvania  Dutch  idioms,  familiar 
names  such  as  Montandon,  Mazeppa, 
and  Mifflinburg,  and  the  terrors  of 
"hazing  parties"  struck  resonant 
chords  in  his  audience.  An  especially 
sympathetic  listener  to  the  "Dutch" 
stories  was  alumnus  Paul  Althouse, 
Metropolitan  tenor.  Both  Althouse 
and  Warfel  are  natives  of  Reading,  Pa. 

Club  President  Julius  F.  Seebach, 
Jr.,  introduced  the  great  Wagnerian 
tenor  for  a  bow  with  the  promise  of 
some  songs  at  a  later  party.  Rev.  Ed- 
ward C.  Kunkle,  Chairman  of  the 
club's  scholarship  committee  gave  a 
brief  report  and  urged  for  more  can- 
didates for  committee  selection  this 
year. 

The  showing  of  the  superb  new  full 
color  sound  movies  of  Bucknell  by 
Alumni  Secretary  Lybarger  climaxed 
a  most  memorable  evening.  Exclama- 
tions of  delight  at  the  excellence  of 
the  pictures  were  voiced  on  every  side. 

Many  renewals  of  old  campus 
friendships  kept  the  record  crowd  "in 
session"  hours  after  the  formal  meet- 
ing had  been  adjourned.  Snatches  of 
overheard  conversations:  "Bill  Rine-

years  ago.

years  duration  ended  last  Sep- 
tember 16  when  Fedei'al  Judge  Oliver 
B.  Dickinson  died  in  the  Crozer  Hos- 
pital at  Chester  following  an  operation 
for  a  kidney  ailment.  Dickinson  had

tary College,  the  Chester  Y.  M.  C.  A.,

that  institution,  holding  that  position 
until  his  retirement  from  public  life 
in  1934.  Dr.  Evans  had  acted  as  a 
trustee  of  Bucknell  since  1909. 

Dr.  J.  H.  Franklin,  president  of 
Crozer  Theological  Seminary,  was  in

few  years  he  practiced  law  with  his

Dr.  Nelson  F.  Davis 


1888  E.  T.  Derr  of  Seattle,  Washing- 
ton, died  on  August  9,  according

received  from  her  niece,  Mar- 
garet W.  Van  Wyck,  I  89,  passed  away 
on  the  11th  of  July,  1939,  following  a 
long  illness. 

Clifford  A.  Rodenbaugh  died  at  the 
home  of  his  step-daughter  in  Green 
Lake,  Wisconsin,  early  in  December. 
Mr.  Rodenbaugh  was  a  native  of  Lew- 
isburg,  having  been  born  there  in 
June,   1868. 

1891  W.  Norman  Morris,  71,  promi- 
nent Philadelphia  attorney  and 
past  president  of  the  Manufacturers 
and  Bankers  Club,  died  in  the  Hahne- 
mann Hospital  early  in  September 
after  an  illness  of  about  two  weeks. 

For  nearly  a  half  century,  Mr.  Mor- 
ris took  an  active  part  in  civic  affairs 
in  Philadelphia  and  Germantown.  For 
several  years  he  was  treasurer  of  the 
Zoning  Federation  of  Philadelphia  and

Alumni  Secretary. 

1895  One  of  BucknelPs  oldest  pro- 
fessors and  staunchest  support- 
ers, Nelson  F.  Davis,  '95,  died  at  his 
home  in  Lewisburg  on  Saturday,  No- 
vember 11,  after  an  illness  of  several 
years.  Although  Dr.  Davis  had  been 
confined  to  his  home  for  nearly  a  year 
and  his  condition  had  been  regarded 
as  critical  for  two  weeks,  his  death 
came  as  a  shock  to  the  thousands  of 
Bucknellians  who  had  known  him  dur- 
ing his  43  years  of  teaching. 

Dr.  Davis  is  the  man  to  whom  much 
of  the  credit  must  be  given  for  build- 
ing at  Bucknell  a  nationally  famous 
biology  department.  Born  in  Seeley, 
N.  J.,  August  10,  1872,  Dr.  Davis  re- 
ceived his  early  education  in  the  pub- 
lic schools  of  New  Jersey.  He  pre- 
pared for  Bucknell  at  the  South  Jersey 
Institute  at  Bridgeton,  N.  J.,  and  en- 
tered the  University  in  1891.  His 
alma  mater  conferred  three  degrees 
upon    him:    Bachelor    of    Science    in 

1895,  Master  of  Science  in  1896,  and 
Doctor  of  Science  in  1902.  Beginning 
his    teaching    career    at    Bucknell    in 

1896,  he  served  first  as  an  instructor 
in  Organic  Science,  then  Assistant 
Professor  of  Biology,  and  since  1910, 
as  Professor  of  Biology  and  head  of 
the  Biology  Department. 


A  member  of  the  Presbyterian 
Church,  the  Sigma  Chi  fraternity,  and 
the  Masons,  he  also  belonged  to  nu- 
merous honorary  scientific  organiza- 
tions. 

He  is  survived  by  his  wife,  the 
former  Jessie  Palmer,  and  by  two 
children,  Nelson  P.  Davis,  Jr.,  '22,  of 
San  Mateo,  California,  and  Miss 
Prances  M.  Davis,  '25,  of  Swiftwater, 
Pa.

short  time.  Mr.  Guie  was  a  native  of 
Catawissa  and  while  at  Bucknell  was 
an  active  member  of  Sigma  Chi  fra- 
ternity.

from  several  universities  and  had 
filled  educational  positions  in  Mon-

informing  the  reader,  the  style  of  the 
book  is  such  that  it  also  entertains. 

The  Mountain  Road  by  Henry 
Sprague,  '97.     Hollywood,  Florida. 

In  this  short  collection  of  poems  the 
author  conveys  to  his  reader  the  fact 
that  he  has  found  through  the  small 
tasks  of  life  the  path  to  God.  A  life 
of  service  to  man  is  the  goal  which 
he  sets  for  himself. 
"God  manifests  Himself  within 
The  hearts  of  those  who  yearn 

The  Spirit  of  the  Christ  to  win, 
His  way  of  life  to  learn." 

Wings  Over  the  Andes  by  Lewis 
E.  Theiss,  '02.  W.  A.  Wilde  Company, 
Boston,  1939. 

The  latest  Ginger  Hale  story  lives 
up  to  its  predecessors  by  being  a  good 
adventure  yarn  in  addition  to  being 
educational,  a  combination  which  is 
seldom  found.  Descriptions  of  the 
places  Ginger  sees  as  he  "ferries"  an 
empty  plane  from  Seattle,  Washing- 
ton, to  Rio  de  Janerio,  Brazil,  and  the 
accurate  use  of  aviation  details  fur- 
nish information  to  the  reader  in  a 
pleasing,  sugar-coated  form.

the  Hampton  Institute,  Hampton  Vir- 
ginia. Mrs.  Stevens,  who  is  Bucknell's 
oldest  living  graduate,  was  formerly  a 
missionary  to  Burma,  India. 
1873  One  of  the  oldest  known  exist- 
ing copies  of  the  Lewisburg 
Journal  was  uncovered  last  fall  by 
William  C.  Walls,  veteran  Lewisburg 
banker,  who  found  it  stored  away  with 
a  number  of  other  old  possessions. 
The  copy  is  dated  Saturday,  September 
15,  1832,  the  time  when  the  paper  was 
being  published  by  its  founder,  Daniel 
Gottshall. 

1876  D.  J.  Dushane  has  changed  his 
address  to  208  South  28th  Ave- 
nue, Yakima,  Washington. 
1878  Mrs.  D.  E.  W.  Spratt,  the 
former  Dora  E.  Watrous,  is  now 
living  at  Conway  Road,  R.  F.  D.  6, 
Atlanta,  Georgia. 

1889  The  new  address  of  Mrs.  Kath- 
arine F.  Noll,  the  former  Kath- 
arine Follmer,  is  1316  New  Hampshire 
Avenue,  N.  W.,  Apt.  26,  Washington, 
D.  C. 

1890  Mrs.  Eveline  Gundy  of  Lewis- 
burg, the  former  Eveline  Stan- 
ton, fractured  her  right  leg  in  De- 
cember when  she  fell  in  her  home.  A 
few  days  after  Christmas  she  was  con- 
sidered sufficiently  improved  to  be  dis- 
charged from  the  Evangelical  Hospital 
where  she  had  been  taken  for  treat- 
ment. 

1892  Robert  Ripley,  noted  cartoonist, 
recently  featured  Dr.  A.  Wyant 
in  one  of  his  cartoons  when  it  was 
found  that  he  had  played  in  98  foot- 
ball games  while  in  school  and  never 
missed  a  moment  of  play.  Dr.  Wyant

Dr.  Mary  Wolfe,  superintendent 

of  the  Laurelton  State  Village,  told 
members  of  the  Mifflinburg  Twentieth 
Century  Club  at  its  November  meet- 
ing. Speaking  about  her  work  at  the 
Laurelton  Village,  she  pointed  out  the 
fact  that  the  training  and  system  of 
parole  in  force  made  it  possible  to  re- 
habilitate many  of  the  girls  sent  to 
the  institution. 

The  practice  of  helping  college  foot- 
ball players  pay  their  bills  received 
judicial  indorsement  when  Federal 
Judge  Albert  W.  Johnson,  in  a  congra- 
tulatory letter  to  Carl  Snavely,  praised 
the  system  of  subsidization  as  being  a 
boon  to  "many  poor  boys."  In  writing 
to  the  coach  of  the  unbeaten  Cornell 
team,  the  jurist  said,  "You  have 
reached  the  top  but  in  so  doing  you 
have  helped  hundreds  and  thousands 


of  others  to  reach  the  top  with  you." 
Judge  Johnson  stated  that  he  was  tak- 
ing this  opportunity  to  express  his  ap- 
preciation of  the  value  of  college  foot- 
ball: to  the  players,  to  the  college,  to 
the  public,  and  to  the  state. 

1897  On  November  13  and  14,  Dean

sistently ever  since. 

Mr.  Kerstetter  was  the  guest  of 
honor  at  a  banquet  given  him  by  his 
associates  in  the  post  office  the  evening

FATHER'S   ASSOCIATION 

Active  interest  in  campus  affairs  has 
been  shown  by  two  recent  decisions 
of  the  Father's  Association  announced 
by  President  James  Tyson,  '11,  of  Phil- 
adelphia. 

The  first  is  the  purchase  of  a  $50 
scholarship  cup  to  be  awarded  on  a 
semester  basis  to  the  men's  residence 
group  having  the  highest  average.  This 
cup  will  be  one  of  the  finest  in  com- 
petition on   the  Bucknell  campus. 

The  second  contribution  of  $75  will 
be  applied  toward  the  beginning  of  an 
Emergency  Loan  Fund  for  students. 
Small  amounts  can  be  secured  through 
the  Student  Counseling  office  for  thirty 
and  sixty  day  loans,  without  interest. 
From  time  to  time,  the  Father's  Asso- 
ciation hopes  to  add  additional  sums 
to  this  fund. 

The  Father's  Association  at  its  Exe- 
cutive Committee  meeting  in  Philadel- 
phia during  the  Christmas  holidays 
reached  these  decisions  and  made  many 
other  plans  for  the  work  during  the 
coming  year.  Within  a  short  time, 
Mr.  Tyson  will  announce  these  plans 
to  all  fathers  who  are  interested  in  the 
Association. 


NEW  ENGINEERING  BUILDING 

(Continued  from  page  2) 

Under  the  old  set-up  only  the  me- 
chanical and  civil  engineering  depart- 
ments were  housed  in  the  engineering 
building.  Moving  the  other  labora- 
tories will  provide  additional  space  for 
the  chemistry,  physics,  and  commerce 
and  finance  departments,  as  well  as 
center  all  the  branches  of  engineering 
under  one  roof. 

At  present  the  chemical  engineering 
laboratory  is  in  the  Chemistry  Build- 
ing. Under  the  new  set-up  part  of 
the  basement  and  main  floor  of  the 
new  wing  of  the  Engineering  Building 
will  be  occupied  by  the  laboratories  of 
the  Chemical  Engineering  Department. 
In  addition  to  that  space,  they  will 
have  metallurgic,  metallographic,  and 
project  laboratories  on  the  top  floor 
of  the  new  wing. 

The  mechanical  engineering  labora- 
tory and  shops  will  be  moved  from  the 
old  wing,  where  they  are  now,  to  the 
new  wing,  with  the  steam  and  internal 
combustion  laboratory  in  the  base- 
ment and  the  shop  on  the  main  floor. 
The  civil  engineering  laboratory  will 
utilize  some  of  the  space  which  it  now 
does  for  a  new  laboratory  in  soil  analy- 
sis and  a  cement  and  concrete  labora- 
tory. In  the  basement  of  the  center 
section,  civil  engineers  will  have  test- 
ing materials  and  hydraulics  labora- 
tories. 

The  electrical  engineering  laboratory 
will  be  moved  from  the  basement  of 
East  College  to  the  old  wing.  The 
machinery  laboratory  of  the  electrical 
engineers  will  be  in  the  basement,  with 
a  laboratory  for  communications,  elec- 
tronics, and  transients,  and  a  dark 
room  to  be  used  in  connection  with  it, 
on  the  main  floor.  A  small  calibration 
laboratory  will  also  be  located  on  the 
main  floor.  A  lecture  room  with  ad- 
joining preparation  room,  a  reading 
room,  offices,  class  room,  and  a  room 
for  short  wave  amateur  radio  will  com- 
plete the  set-up. 

SUNBURY  LUNCHEONS 

The  newest  undertaking  of  the  Sun- 
bury  Bucknell  Alumni  Club  is  to  hold 
a  luncheon  each  Monday  at  the  Hotel 
Edison  in  Sunbury.  The  meeting  lasts 
from  12:15  to  1:00  and  is  informal 
with  no  solicitations  or  speeches;  each 
person  orders  what  he  personally  wants 
to  eat. 

Seventeen  Bucknellians  were  present 
at  the  first  luncheon  which  was  held 
on  October  23  rd  and  since  then  the 
luncheons  have  been  well  attended.

REUNIONS  IN  JUNE 

All  indications  are  that  a  large  num- 
ber of  Bucknellians  are  going  to  re- 
turn to  the  campus  in  June  for  class 
reunions  and  the  commencement  week 
program. 

It  is  suggested  that  members  of  re- 
unioning  classes  respond  to  the  notices 
from  their  class  secretaries  and  assist 
in  making  the  reunions  a  big  success. 
The  following  classes  will  be  holding 
reunions  on  June  8,  1940:  1870,  1875, 
1880,  1885,  1890,  1895,  1900,  1905, 
1910,  1915,  1920,  1925,  1930,  and 
1935. 

Class  officers  in  charge  of  reunions 
should  write  to  the  Alumni  Office  for 
class  lists  and  assistance  in  making 
reservations  and  plans. 

NEW  DIRECTORY 
NEARING  COMPLETION 

Unexpected  difficulties  have  arisen 
in  the  editing  of  Your  College  Friends, 
the  new  alumni  directory,  and  it  has 
been  necessary  to  postpone  the  date  of 
publication.  The  final  page  proof  is 
now  being  corrected,  and  it  is  ex- 
pected that  the  book  will  be  ready  for 
distribution  in  a  short  time.  More 
than  2  500  copies  of  the  3  5  0-page  vol- 
ume have  been  ordered. 

GIVE  —  AND  SAVE 
It  is  reported  that  a  citizen  of 
Philadelphia  who  died  recently, 
left  an  estate  of  $93,000,000  and 
that  inheritance  and  estate  taxes 
cost  the  heirs  $35,000,000! 

Bucknellians  are  reminded  that 
there  is  no  tax  on  a  gift  to  Buck- 
nell  while  you  are  alive!  Nor  is 
there  any  Federal  Inheritance  tax 
on  a  bequest  to  Bucknell  in  your 
will. 

Moral:  Make  a  gift  or  bequest 
to  Bucknell  —  and  save  money!

Bucknell  will  close  its  94th  year  of  educational  service  with  the  Commencement  Exercises  to  be  held 
Monday  morning,  June  10th,  and  I  give  a  most  cordial  invitation  to  every  Bucknellian  to  attend.  The 
feature  of  the  Commencement  program  will  be  the  dedication  of  the  new  Engineering  Building.  This 
will  be  an  important  mile-stone  in  Bucknell's  long  history,  and  I  trust  many  Bucknellians  will  participate. 
We  are  hoping  the  two  donors  will  be  present. 

Some  months  ago,  when  we  turned  the  first  dirt  for  this  building,  Professor  Charles  A.  Lindemann 
touched  the  button  that  set  off  the  explosion.  Dr.  Lindemann  was  the  first  teacher  of  engineering  at 
Bucknell,  having  been  selected  by  President  Harris  to  inaugurate  the  courses  that  were  to  lead  to  our 
present   Engineering  Departments. 

On  Sunday,  April  28th,  Dr.  Lindemann  passed  away,  after  an  illness  of  several  months.  Bucknell 
mourns  his  passing  with  a  heart  full  of  gratitude  for  the  sound  standards  of  scientific  truth,  of  teaching, 
and  of  achievement  which  he  put  at  the  very  corner-stone  of  our  Engineering  education.  All  over  the 
world,  former  students  of  "Lindy"  are  thinking,  and  speaking  to  one  another,  of  the  lessons  of  life  which 
they  learned  from  him.     He  was  one  of  the  truly  great  teachers  of  his  generation. 

Bucknell  will  celebrate  its  100th  Anniversary  in  1946.  We  have  been  looking  forward  for  some 
vears  to  this  Centennial  Celebration,  and  now  that  we  have  turned  the  corner  of  the  1940  decade,  the 
100th  birthday  begins  to  loom  before  us  with  increasing  challenge.  We  are  hoping  that  many  Bucknellians 
will  show  a  special  zeal  in  strengthening  various  aspects  of  the  work  of  the  college  within  the  next  six 
years  so  that  when  the  100th  Anniversary  arrives,  we  will  be  able  to  celebrate  it  with  full  pride  and 
thanksgiving  for  the  achievements  of  Alma  Mater's  first  century  of  service  to  youth,  and  with  confi- 
dence in  her  future  service. 

Since  my  last  message  to  you,  a  trustee  of  Bucknell  has  sent  us  580,000  more  toward  our  new  Li- 
brary Building  Fund.  He  prefers  that  I  should  not  announce  his  name  publicly,  but  I  know  all  of  you 
join  me  in  sending  him  our  united  "God  Bless  You,"  from  the  very  depths  of  our  grateful  hearts. 

With  best  wishes  to  each  of  you  and  all  of  you,

A  SPECIAL  MESSAGE 

By  E.  A.  SNYDER,  '11 

President,  General  Alumni  Association 


WE  are  approaching  the  close  of 
another  scholastic  year  at  Buck- 
nell  —  a  year  crowned  with  epic 
achievements  that  fill  our  hearts  with 
pride  and  joy  for  Alma  Mater  and 
again  great  appreciation  for  our  worthy 
and  beloved  President  Arnaud  C. 
Marts  and  his  able  and  cooperative 
Board  of  Trustees.  The  achievements 
are  too  many  to  tell  about  in  this  short 
space  but  do  come  back  to  Com- 
mencement this  June  and  see  for  your- 
self and  hear  President  Marts  tell  you 
about  them.  I  am  sure  you  will  be 
glad  you  came. 

Increased  Alumni  Activities 

The  year  was  also  marked  by  most 
gratifying  increased  activities  of  most 
of  our  Alumni  Associations  each  of 
which  are  accomplishing  much  good 
for  Bucknell.  A  number  of  them  have 
been  supporting  already  established, 
and  others  establishing  new  Bucknell 
Scholarship  Funds  for  worthy  students 
from  their  areas.  More  and  more 
Alumni  are  thinking  and  acting  along 
the  lines  of  "What  can  we  do  to  help 
Bucknell?"  The  concrete  results  of 
such  activity  are  apparent  in  the  higher 
scholastic  caliber  of  our  new  enroll- 
ment of  students  and  the  marked  in- 
crease in  the  number  of  students  from 
areas  where  alumni  activity  is  great- 
est. Quite  a  few  new  Alumni  Asso- 
ciations with  the  help  and  guidance 
of  our  Alumni  Secretary,  Francis  Ly- 
barger,  Jr.,  have  been  organized  in 
localities  where  none  have  been  before. 
I  would  like  to  urge  that  many  more 
such  associations  be  formed.    Our  con- 


stitution requires  only  a  nucleus  of  six 
alumni  to  start  an  association  and  the 
Alumni  Office  at  Lewisburg  is  always 
ready  to  render  assistance  in  the  or- 
ganization of  such  groups  and  to  pre- 
pare and  mail  out  all  literature  and 
meeting  notices.  Still  another  achieve- 
ment of  the  year  was  the  reorganiza- 
tion of  the  Monthly.  The  previous  issue 
is  an  example  of  what  we  want  to 
make  it  ■ —  a  bigger,  newsier,  more 
colorful  magazine  with  more  alumni 
news. 

In  closing  let  me  again  bespeak  a 
large  attendance  of  Alumni  at  our 
annual  dinner  and  meeting  this  Com- 
mencement. Immediately  after  the 
dinner  we  will  hold  a  short  business 
session.  This  is  our  one  and  only  joint 
meeting  of  the  year  and  we  are  hop- 
ing for  a  large  attendance.  So  many 
interesting  and  worthwhile  activities 
are  being  carried  on  by  many  of  our 
associations  that  I  feel  sure  all  of  us 
can  profit  by  an  exchange  of  ideas. 
Furthermore,  there  will  be  an  annual 
report  of  our  Secretary  touching  on 
alumni  activities  during  the  year  which 
you  should  hear.  Also,  election  of  new 
officers  for  next  year  must  be  at- 
tended to.  All  of  you  who  return  for 
Commencement  please  attend  this 
short  but  very  necessary  business  ses- 
sion. If  you  have  the  welfare  of  Buck- 
nell at  heart  you  cannot  afford  to 
miss  it. 

Thank  you  for  your  loyal  support 
of  the  General  Alumni  Association 
during  the  past  year,  and  I'm  hoping  to 
see  you  all  at  Lewisburg  this  June. 


The  old   Susquehanna   hasn't   changed — come   see  for   yourself. 


You'll  get  a  thrill  when  you  travel  the 
paths    again! 


$80,000  MORE 
FOR  LIBRARY 

At  the  annual  Mother's  Ban- 
quet which  was  held  in  the 
Davis  Gymnasium  on  May  11th, 
President  Marts  announced  that 
he  had  received  recently  a  gift 
of  $80,000  toward  the  new  Li- 
brary. The  donor  was  a  gen- 
erous trustee  of  the  University 
who  prefers  to  remain  anony- 
mous. This  gift  brings  the  Li- 
brary Fund  to  $230,000;  it  is  es- 
timated that  $350,000  will  be 
necessary  to  build  and  equip 
the  proposed  structure. 


BUCKNELL  OBSERVES 
RELIGION  IN  LIFE  WEEK 

Alumni,  students,  and  faculty  cooperated  to  make  a 
success  of  BucknelPs  first  Religion  in  Life  Week  which  was 
held  February  18th  to  22nd. 

With  President  Arnaud  C.  Marts  as  general  chairman, 
the  Committee  of  150  planned  a  five-day  program  which 
included  addresses  by  outstanding  men  and  women,  forums, 
and   individual  informal   conferences. 

Four  types  of  leaders  were  secured,  representing  di- 
vergent interests  and  wide  experience.  There  were  those 
persons  who  were  primarily  speakers  and  forum  leaders, 
and  those  who  were  experts  in  the  field  of  promotional, 
administrative,  and  personal  counseling  activities  in  the 
college  student  world.  Eighteen  alumni  members  of  fra- 
ternities and  sororities  made  up  the  third  group,  and  grad- 
uate or  "near-graduate"  students  from  other  universities 
composed  the  fourth. 

Alumni  who  returned  to  the  campus  for  the  week  are 
as  follows:  Rev.  Frederick  B.  Igler,  '12,  Wilmer  Greulich, 
'34,  Edward  Myers,  '34,  Dr.  W.  C.  MacNaul,  '90,  Rev. 
Eric  Oesterle,  '16,  Thomas  B.  Richards,  '37,  Rev.  John  D. 
Fetter,  '13,  Vincent  Wayland,  '34,  Lieut.  C.  Irving  Car- 
penter, '27,  Rev.  Alfred  B.  Haas,  '3  3,  Dr.  Robert  M.  Lind- 
ner, '3  5,  Dr.  Malcolm  Mussina,  '24,  Dr.  Mary  Wolfe,  '96, 
Mrs.  Thelora  Smith  Musser,  '17,  Martha  Knights,  '37, 
Marjorie  Nicholls,  '3  8,  Mrs.  Emily  Devine  Kelly,  '21,  Inez 
Crossett,  '39,  and  Jeanne  Kurtz,  '3  8. 


Fathers  Award  Scholarship  Trophy 

At  the  Greek  Scholarship  Chapel  which  was  held  re- 
cently, Thomas  Wood,  '07,  presented  the  Father's  Asso- 
ciation Scholarship  Trophy  to  the  Kappa  Delta  Rho  fra- 
ternity for  attaining  the  highest  average  during  the  past 
semester.  A  second  trophy,  the  Pan-Hellenic  Women's 
Scholarship  Cup,  was  given  to  the  Alpha  Chi  Omega  soror- 
ity for  having  the  highest  average  among  the  sororities. 

Five  individual  awards  were  given  to  the  boys  in  school 
who  registered  the  most  improvement  in  their  work  this 
past  semester.  The  Phi  Gamma  Delta  and  Delta  Zeta 
pledge  groups  received  achievement  cups  for  the  highest 
pledge  averages.  Thomas  Richards,  '37,  a  student  at  the 
Colgate-Rochester  Divinity  School,  gave  the  chapel  address.

BUCKNELLIANS  DEBATE 
FOR  TELEVISOIN  AUDIENCE

audiences,  and  collegiate  travel  when  its  Varsity  Inter- 
collegiate Debate  Team  was  flown  to  New  York  to  present 
before  RCA  television  cameras  and  boom  microphones  the 
topic  of  "Emergency  Improvement  for  the  Dust  Bowl" 
against  the  challenged  "worthy  adversaries,"  the  negative, 
Columbia  University.  NBC  station  W2XBS  signed  on  the 
telegenic  orators  April  3rd  at  8:30  p.m. 

George  V.  Denny,  Jr.,  Director  of  America's  Town 
Hall,  served  as  chairman,  and  Lowell  Thomas  was  guest 
commentator.  Chief  check  pilot  of  Eastern  Air  Lines, 
Captain  F.  E.  Davis,  flew  Ray  Underwood,  '41,  and  John  J. 
McKenna,  Jr.,  '42,  with  their  coach,  Dr.  R.  T.  Oliver,  in  a 
special  Stinson  plane  to  New  York  where  they  were  guests 
of  Manager  R.  K.  Christenberry  at  the  Hotel  Astor. 

The  press  throughout  the  country  commented  upon  the 
debate's  import.  To  support  the  persuasive  speaking,  dia- 
grams, photos,  courtesy  of  Acme  Newspictures,  and  "cine- 
matic evidence"  were  broadcast.

at  the  March  8th  meeting  of  the  New  York  branch  of  the 
Metropolitan  Alumni  Association  which  was  held  at  the 
Wentworth  Hotel  in  New  York  City. 

In  addition  to  singing  a  number  of  songs  in  German  and 
English,  Mr.  Althouse  related  some  of  his  experiences  in 
connection  with  his  work  in  opera.  He  spoke  especially

dent, Julius  F.  Seebach,  Jr.,  presided.  Mr.  Seebach  an-

Professor  Lindemann,  '98 
Dies  In  Hospital 

Dr.  Charles  A.  Lindemann,  '98,  veteran  Bucknell  pro- 
fessor, died  in  the  Williamsport  Hospital  on  Sunday,  April 
28th.     He  had  been  in  poor  health  for  a  long  time. 

After  graduating  from  Bucknell  in  1898,  Professor 
Lindemann  continued  his  schooling  and  received  his  Mas- 
ter's degree  the  following  year.  He  returned  to  the  campus 
as  an  instructor  in  mathematics  in  1902  after  having 
taught  elsewhere  for  several  years.  In  1905  he  was  made 
assistant  professor  of  mathematics  and  in  1907  professor 
of  pure  mathematics.  John  B.  Stetson  University  paid 
tribute  to  his  ability  by  awarding  him  the  honorary  degree 
of  Doctor  of  Science  in  1927.  "Lindy,"  as  he  was  affec- 
tionately known  to  his  students,  was  forced  to  retire  in 
1938  because  of  ill  health. 

During  his  long  association  with  Bucknell,  Professor 
Lindemann  held  numerous  important  offices.  He  was  one 
of  the  pioneers  and  creators  of  the  Engineering  Department 
and  chairman  of  the  committee  that  built  the  North  play- 
ing fields  and  did  the  preliminary  work  on  the  stadium. 
He  also  served  for  a  number  of  years  as  secretary  of  the 
faculty. 

In  his  will,  Professor  Lindemann  stated  that  half  of  his 
estate,  or  $7500,  should  be  given  to  Bucknell.

<=UJeat   p^uckuellianA: 


We  are  just  about  to  start  the  new  academic  year,  as  I  write  this  message,  and  we 
are  anxious,  of  course,  to  see  our  incoming  freshmen,  and  to  renew  friendships  with  our 
older  returning  students. 

Never  within  our  memory  have  so  many  new  students  applied  for  admission  to 
Bucknell,  and  we  are  gratified  that  they  want  to  come  here  in  such  numbers.  We  have 
been  concerned  lest  some  of  our  twenty-one  year  old  men  students  might  not  return 
this  fall,  in  anticipation  of  the  draft,  but  we  have  urged  them  to  return  with  the  promise 
that  if  they  are  drafted  in  the  semester,  their  tuition  will  be  refunded  to  them.  Present 
indications  are  that  few,  if  any,  of  our  students  will  fail  to  return  because  of  the  draft. 

Certain  familiar  personalities  are  missing  from  the  campus  this  fall — Dean  Robert 
L.  Sutherland  who  has  accepted  a  position  at  the  University  of  Texas,  Dr.  George  B. 
Lawson  and  Mrs.  Jennie  Phillips  who  retire  at  the  age  limit,  and  others  who  have  served 
former  generations  of  Bucknellians.  We  miss  them,  and  send  them  our  deep  appreciation 
for  the  services  they  have  rendered  on  this  campus.  News  of  their  successors  is  given 
elsewhere  in  this  issue. 

Probably  the  most  significant  item  of  news  since  our  last  issue  is  the  Charter  of 
Phi  Beta  Kappa  which  was  voted  to  Bucknell  on  August  30  th.  The  details  of  this  story 
are  given  on  another  page  in  this  magazine.  I  wish  here  to  record  my  keen  personal 
pleasure  at  this  well-deserved  and  belated  recognition  of  Bucknell.  I  am  sure  each  of 
you  will  feel  just  a  bit  more  pride  in  your  Alma  Mater  in  consequence  of  this  action. 

Another  Homecoming  Day  will  soon  be  here.  Saturday,  November  2nd,  is  the  day. 
I  invite  you  to  come  back  to  Alma  Mater  on  that  day,  and  renew  your  friendships  and 
refreshen  your  memories  of  the  glad  days  of  college  years. 

With  kindest  regards, 


Yours  for  Bucknell,

Bucknell  Alumni  Monthly 


Vol.  XXV    No.  1 


October,  1940 


Bucknell    Elected 

To   Phi    Beta    Kappa 

With  Largest  Number  of  Votes 

President,  Miss  Marjorie  Nicolson,  Dean  of  Smith  College, 
will  preside  at  the  installation  exercises,  and  other  Senators 
will  take  part,  including  Dr.  Graves. 

Beginning  with  the  graduating  class  of  1941,  approxi- 
mately one-tenth  of  those  receiving  bachelor  of  arts  de- 
grees at  Bucknell  hereafter  will  be  eligible  for  election  to 
Phi  Beta  Kappa.  These  eligibles  will  also  include  some 
graduates  receiving  bachelor  of  science  degrees,  provided 
their  major  is  in  the  pure  sciences,  rather  than  in  the  sci- 
ences that  are  vocational  or  technical.  These  conditions 
of  membership  are  prescribed  by  the  United  Chapters. 

These  graduates  will  be  elected  by  vote  of  the  active 
members  of  the  Bucknell  chapter.  New  members  will  be 
considered  not  simply  because  of  high  grades,  but  also  from 
the  standpoint  of  cultural  interests  and  sound  character. 
"Grade-getting"  does  not  suffice  for  election  to  member- 
ship. There  was  a  time  when  all  eligible  alumni  could  be 
voted  retroactively  into  Phi  Beta  Kappa  upon  the  installa- 
tion of  a  new  chapter,  but  some  years  ago  the  United 
Chapters  passed  legislation  against  this  practice.  Retro- 
active election  to  Phi  Beta  Kappa  has  now  been  reduced 
to  a  minimum.  Only  alumni  who  have  been  out  of  college 
for  ten  years  or  more,  and  who  in,  addition  to  splendid 
records  while  in  college,  have  given  evidence  of  real 
achievements  in  cultural  fields  are  eligible  for  election,  and 
only  one  or  two  of  these  per  year  are  permitted. 

The  Phi  Beta  Kappas  now  on  the  Bucknell  faculty  who 
will  provide  the  nucleus  of  the  Bucknell  Chapter  are:  Pro- 
fessor Alvin  Biscoe,  Dickinson;  Dr.  Charles  M.  Bond,  Col- 
gate; Miss  Gladys  Calkins,  William  and  Mary;  Miss  Mary 
Hunt,  Denison;  Professor  V.  A.  McCrossen,  Dickinson;  Mr. 
William  McRae,  Oberlin;  Miss  Mildred  Martin,  University 
of  Illinois;  President  A.  C.  Marts,  Oberlin;  Professor  Meyer 
Nimkoff,  Boston  University;  Professor  J.  Orin  Oliphant, 
University  of  Washington;  Dr.  H.  W.  Robbins,  Brown 
University;  and  Dr.  David  Brown,  Williams  College. 

There  are  approximately  90,000  living  Phi  Beta  Kappas. 
Their  achievements  in  life  are  suggested  by  the  interesting 
fact  that,  while  there  is  only  one  Phi  Beta  Kappa  for  each 
15,000  persons  in  the  United  States,  yet  there  is  one 
Phi  Beta  Kappa  listed  in  Who's  Who  for  each  six  persons 
listed  there.  Among  living  Phi  Beta  Kappas  are  seven  of 
the  nine  members  of  the  Supreme  Court. 

The  national  offices  of  the  fraternity  are  in  New  York 
City  in  charge  of  Dr.  William  A.  Shimer,  now  a  member 
of  the  Bucknell  faculty.  From  this  office  go  out  many 
streams  of  influence  by  which  this  important  body  makes 
itself  felt  in  support  of  the  humanities  in  American  educa- 
tion, and  in  defense  of  that  intellectual  freedom  which  is 
being  destroyed  by  ignorant  and  "short-cutting"  statesmen 
in  many  parts  of  the  world. 

Bucknell  is  proud  to  be  able  to  offer  certain  of  its  future 
graduates  membership  and  fellowship  in  this  world-wide 
fraternity  of  distinguished  college  men  and  women. 


THE  United  Chapters  of  Phi  Beta  Kappa,  national  hon- 
orary scholastic  fraternity,  voted  a  charter  to  Bucknell 
University  at  their  Triennial  Council  held  in  San 
Francisco  on  August  30,  1940.  Bucknell  received  the 
largest  number  of  votes  of  any  of  the  nine  colleges  granted 
charters  at  this  Triennial  Council  meeting.  Representa- 
tives of  122  chapters  were  present  and  voting.  Of  this 
number,  eighty-three  affirmative  votes  were  necessary  to 
grant  a  charter.     Bucknell  received  118  votes. 

The  Phi  Beta  Kappa  key  is  perhaps  the  most  coveted 
recognition  for  scholarship  and  all-around  achievement  that 
is  granted  to  American  college  students.  And  the  posses- 
sion of  a  Phi  Beta  Kappa  Charter  is  one  of  the  most  prized 
accreditments  that  can  be  given  to  an  American  college. 
There  are  approximately  1700  institutions  of  higher  edu- 
cation in  the  United  States  of  which  669  are  colleges  and 
universities.  Of  this  number  only  141  have  been  granted 
chapters  of  Phi  Beta  Kappa.  Every  chapter  that  has  ever 
been  chartered  by  the  Phi  Beta  Kappa  in  its  164  years  of 
existence  is  still  active. 

Phi  Beta  Kappa  was  founded  in  1776  at  William,  and 
Mary  College  in  Virginia.  It  was  America's  first  Greek 
letter  secret  fraternity,  but  in  1831  it  relinquished  secrecy 
and  thus  ceased  to  be  a  rival  of  the  secret  social  fraternities 
that  began  to  be  organized  in  colleges  about  that  time. 
Following  1831,  Phi  Beta  Kappa  put  its  chief  emphasis 
upon  scholarship  and  upon  interest  in  cultural  and  intel- 
lectual values. 

The  motto  of  Phi  Beta  Kappa  is  comprised  of  three  Greek 
words,  whose  initial  letters  give  the  fraternity  its  name 
Philosophia  Biou  Kubernetes 

Translated,  these  words  mean  "Love  of  wisdom  the  helms- 
man of  life." 

About  one  hundred  colleges  apply  to  the  United  Chap- 
ters each  triennium  for  consideration  for  Charters  of  Phi 
Beta  Kappa.  Certain  ones  are  asked  to  submit  full  data 
in  regard  to  themselves,  and  members  of  the  Phi  Beta 
Kappa  Senate  are  delegated  to  visit  and  examine  these  ap- 
plicants. During  the  past  Triennium  in  which  Bucknell's 
application  has  been  before  the  Senate,  Dr.  Frank  P.  Graves, 
President  of  the  University  of  the  State  of  New  York  and 
Commissioner  of  Education  of  New  York  State,  was  the 
Phi  Beta  Kappa  senator  assigned  to  report  on  Bucknell, 
and  it  was  due,  in  no  small  degree,  to  his  favorable  and 
enthusiastic  reports  upon  the  quality  of  Bucknell's  educa- 
tion that  the  Charter  has  now  been  granted  to  us.  We  are 
also  indebted  greatly  to  Dr.  William  A.  Shimer,  Secretary 
of  the  United  Chapters,  who  has  visited  Bucknell  annually 
for  the  past  four  years  and  who  has  reported  most  favor- 
ably to  the  Senate  in  regard  to  Bucknell's  qualification 
for  the  Charter. 

The  Bucknell  Chapter  of  Phi  Beta  Kappa  will  be  offi- 
cially installed  by  the  officers  of  the  United  Chapters  at  a 
ceremony   which   is   to   be   held   on   November   7th.      The 


Dr.  William  A.  Shimer 
Joins  Bucknell  Faculty 


Blackstone  Studios,  N.  Y.C. 

Dr.  William  A.  Shimer 


Dr.  William  A.  Shimer  of  New 
York,  secretary  of  the  United  Chap- 
ters of  Phi  Beta  Kappa  and  editor 
of  The  American  Scholar,  has  as- 
sumed his  duties  as  John  Howard 
Harris  Professor  of  Philosophy  and 
Dean  of  the  Faculty. 

At  its  recent  meeting  in  San 
Francisco,  the  Twentieth  Triennial 
Council  of  Phi  Beta  Kappa  re- 
elected Dr.  Shimer  as  secretary,  an 
office  which  he  has  held  since  1931, 
and  confirmed  the  arrangement 
whereby  he  came  to  Bucknell.  His 
schedule  calls  for  him  to  spend  the 
first  four  days  of  each  week  at 
Bucknell  and  the  last  three  days  in  New  York. 

In  his  capacity  as  Dean  of  the  Faculty,  Dr.  Shimer  is 
able  to  bring  to  his  colleagues  on  the  faculty  the  advan- 
tages of  his  wide  observation  of  educational  techniques  in 
other  colleges.  As  secretary  of  Phi  Beta  Kappa,  he  is  in 
close  contact  with  the  140  superior  colleges  in  America 
which  have  been  granted  charters  of  this  top-ranking 
scholarship  fraternity. 

A  noted  scholar  and  educator,  Dr.  Shimer  comes  to 
Bucknell  with  a  most  unusual  record.  After  teaching  in 
the  rural  schools  of  West  Virginia  for  a  year,  he  attended 
Glenville  Normal  School  at  Glenville,  West  Virginia.  En- 
tering Harvard,  he  completed  the  regular  four-year  course 
in  three  years  and  was  graduated  with  honors.  He  then 
studied  in  the  Harvard  Divinity  School  and  at  the  Uni- 
versity of  Rochester. 

Returning  to  Harvard  for  graduate  study,  he  was 
awarded  his  Doctor  of  Philosophy  degree  in  1925.  He  was 
then  named  a  Harvard  Fellow  at  the  University  of  Paris, 
where  he  received  the  degree  of  Doctor  of  Laws  in   1926. 

In  the  course  of  his  studies  at  Harvard,  Dr.  Shimer  was 
awarded  numerous  scholarships  for  scholastic  excellence. 
His  election  to  Phi  Beta  Kappa  at  Harvard  occurred  while 
he  was  in  France  during  the  World  War.  He  was  appointed 
in  1926  to  the  faculty  of  Ohio  State  University  and  taught 
philosophy  there  until  1930,  when  he  went  to  New  York 
to  become  secretary  of  the  Foundation  for  Moral  Leader- 
ship. He  was  elected  secretary  of  Phi  Beta  Kappa  in  1931 
and  editor  of  The  American  Scholar  in  1932.  Since  193  5, 
he  has  also  edited  The  Key  Reporter,  a  quarterly  for  Phi 
Beta  Kappa  members. 

Dr.  Shimer  belongs  to  many  important  educational  or- 
ganizations, including  the  American  Philosophy  Associa- 
tion, the  American  Association  of  University  Professors, 
and  the  American  Academy  of  Political  and  Social  Science. 


He  is  married  and  the  father  of  two  children,  a  boy  and 
a  girl.

Homecoming  Day  Features 

Parade,  Bison  Club  Luncheon,  Football  Game, 
Alumni  Dinner  and  Dance 


AS  the  zero  hour  approaches  for  the  great  exodus  of 
Bucknell  Alumni  from  the  surrounding  country 
towards  their  beloved  center  of  educational  achieve- 
ment, plans  are  being  made  far  and  wide.  A  double  red 
circle  has  been  placed  around  November  2nd.  Telephone 
calls  and  letters  are  being  exchanged  as  preliminary  arrange- 
ments are  completed  for  a  real  alumni  celebration.  The 
old  college  is  feeling  the  repercussions  of  this  increased 
alumni  enthusiasm.  We  have  been  informed  by  proper 
authorities  that  even  the  old  oaks  are  showing  signs  of  a 
quickened  heart-beat  as  they  anticipate  the  sound  of  familiar 
voices  and  of  former  footsteps  up  the  hill. 

The  unusual  interest  in  Homecoming  this  year  has  re- 
sulted from  the  constant!}'  increasing  pride  of  Bucknellians 
everywhere  in  their  Alma  Mater.  They  long  to  return  to 
see  her  new  raiments  of  progress  as  well  as-  to  meet  old 
friends. 

The  night  before  Homecoming  will  be  devoted  to  long 
sessions  of  reminiscing  with  sparkling  stories  of  how  it  used 


Homecoming  Parade 

to  be  at  Bucknell.  We  can  hear  them  now:  "It's  great  to 
be  back!  The  old  place  is  still  the  same  even  though  some 
new  buildings  have  been  added!.  ..."  "Hello  Jack!  I 
haven't  seen  you  for  years,  remember  when  we  lived  in  419 
West  College?  .  How  about  the  time  you  were  asleep  in 
Prof.  's  class  and  he  called  on  you  for  the  phi- 
losophy of  Plato?"  And  the  tall  stories  become  taller  as 
constant  repetition  improves  the  imagination. 

Homecoming  Day  will  open  with  the  golden  rays  of  the 
sun  shining  over  the  quadrangle  as  it  prepares  the  Buck- 
nellians for  the  kind  of  Homecoming  weather  they  have 
been  dreaming  about  since  the  first  Homecoming. 

All  Bucknellians  should  go  to  Old  Main  to  register  and 
make  ticket  reservations  for  the  different  events.  There 
will  be  a  large  board  in  Old  Main  containing  the  names  of 
all  who  register,  listed  by  classes,  so  that  former  friends 
can  be  located. 

The  Athletic  Council  and  Bison  Club  will  be  entertained 
by  Mr.  Rush  H.  Kress,  '00,  in  the  morning.  The 
Athletic  Council  breakfast  will  be  at  eight  o'clock  at  the 
Lewisburg  Inn  followed  by  a  business  meeting.  The  busi- 
ness meeting  and  luncheon  of  the  Bison  Club  will  be  at 
11:30  at  the  Lewisburg  Inn. 


Alex  Bartha  and  his  Orchestra 

There  will  be  a  big  Homecoming  Parade  at  eleven  o'clock 
with  a  prize  to  be  awarded  for  the  best  fraternity  float. 
At  2:15  in  the  afternoon,  Bucknell's  thundering  herd 
will  ruffle  the  feathers  of  the  Temple  owls  in  the  Memorial 
Stadium.  The  Alumni  Dinner  will  be  held  in  the  Women's 
Dining  Hall  at  6:3  0  p.m.  President  Marts  will  be  the 
speaker  and  E.  A.  Snyder,  President  of  the  General  Alumni 
Association,  toastmaster.  The  Alumni  Dance  will  follow 
at  9:00  o'clock  in  the  Davis  Gymnasium  with  music  by 
Alex  Bartha  and  his  Orchestra,  an  outstanding  musical 
organization.  This  concludes  the  day  and  Bucknellians 
may  feel  slightly  tired  but  their  spirit  and  enthusiasm  for 
Bucknell  and  old  friends  will  have  reached  an  unanticipated 
height. 

On  Sunday  morning,  Dr.  Newton  C.  Fetter,  '09,  will  be 
the  speaker  at  an  All  College  Church  Service  in  the  Pres- 
byterian Church. 

The  Alumni  Office  would  welcome  the  opportunity  of 
assisting  you  in  completing  your  arrangements  for  Home- 
coming. We  can  reserve  tickets  for  the  Game,  the  Alumni 
Dinner,  the  Dance,  and  arrange  for  sleeping  accommoda- 
tions.

President  Marts  and  Seven  Honorary  Degree  Recipients 


AT  the  ninetieth  annual  commencement  exercises  which 
were  held  in  the  Davis  Gymnasium  on  June  10,  262 
seniors  received  their  bachelor's  degrees,  twenty- 
three  persons  received  advanced  degrees,  two  men  received 
professional  degrees,  and  seven  noted  Americans  were 
awarded  honorary  degrees  in  recognition  of  their  services 
to  humanity. 

Those  who  received  honorary  degrees,  shown  in  the  pic- 
ture above,  were  William  VanValzah  Hayes,  '88,  consult- 
ing physician  at  St.  John's  Hospital,  Yonkers,  N.  Y.;  Dr. 
George  S.  Stevenson,  '15,  New  York  City  psychiatrist: 
Irving  Berlin,  famous  song  writer;  Dr.  Marts,  Michael  L. 
Benedum,  noted  oil  engineer;  the  Rev.  Louis  J.  Velte,  '10, 
pastor  of  the  First  Baptist  Church,  Chester;  Dr.  Joseph 
W.  Barker,  dean  of  the  school  of  engineering  at  Columbia 
University;  and  Dr.  G.  Morris  Smith,  president  of  Susque- 
hanna University. 

The  largest  Alumni  Day  in  the  history  of  the  University 
was  held  on  Saturday,  June  8.  More  alumni  than  ever  be- 
fore  returned   to   the   campus,    bringing   with    them   their 


friends  and  families,  for  a  day  crowded  with  events.  At 
the  General  Alumni  Luncheon  which  was  held  in  the  Wo- 
men's Dining  Hall  at  noon,  Nancy  Griffith,  '31,  was  toast- 
mistress.  E.  A.  Snyder,  '11,  president  of  the  General 
Alumni  Association,  President  Arnaud  C.  Marts,  and  L. 
Francis  Lybarger,  Jr.,  '28,  Alumni  Secretary,  were  the 
speakers.  Mr.  Marts  presented  and  greeted  members  of 
the  reunioning  classes.  He  mentioned  that  a  committee 
composed  of  G.  Grant  Painter,  '17,  chairman;  Fred  O. 
Schnure,  '14,  Harold  Stuart,  '20,  Kenneth  Slifer,  '26,  Paul 
D.  Schreiber,  '17,  John  W.  Rice,  '14,  and  Frank  G.  Davis, 
'11,  had  been  named  to  formulate  and  bring  into  execution 
plans  for  the  selection  of  the  man  who  is  to  be  the  "Buck- 
nell  Man  of  the  Year"  at  the  1941  Commencement.  The 
class  of  1914  has  proposed  to  provide  and  give  to  the  Uni- 
versity a  bronze  plaque  upon  which  is  to  be  inscribed  each 
year  the  name  of  the  "Bucknell  Man  of  the  Year." 


1915  Reunion 


Fifty-Year  Class 

Members  of  the  Athletic  Council  attended  the  luncheon 
and  sat  together  at  a  special  table  provided  for  them. 

Class  reunions  were  well  attended.  Several  members 
of  the  fifty-year  class  returned  and  were  guests  of  honor 
for  the  commencement  period.  The  picture  above  shows 
William  C.  MacNaul,  Mrs.  C.  A.  Gundy,  nee  Eveline  J. 
Stanton,  and  Dr.  John  I.  Woodruff,  all  members  of  the 
class  of  1890.  Opposite  is  a  picture  which  was  taken  of  the 
class  of  1915  at  its  twenty-fifth  reunion. 


Daniel  C  Roberts 


By  Arnaud  C.  Marts 


A  FEW  years  ago,  Senator  Andrew 
J.  Sordoni,  a  Trustee  of  Buck- 
nell  University,  introduced 
Judge  Davis,  Chairman  of  the  Board, 
to  a  friend  and  neighbor  of  his,  Mr. 
Daniel  C.  Roberts,  with  these  words: 
"If  you  could  interest  Mr.  Roberts  in 
becoming  a  Trustee  of  Bucknell  Uni- 
versity it  would  be  a  great  thing  for 
Bucknell."  Later  he  introduced  him  to 
me  also,  and  from  these  beginnings 
Mr.  Roberts'  interest  in  Bucknell  Uni- 
versity grew  from  month  to  month, 
and  year  to  year.  Finally,  in  the  fall 
of  193  5,  he  agreed  to  serve  on  the 
Board  if  elected.  He  was  elected 
promptly  for  a  term  of  five  years,  and 
from  that  point  on  became  one  of  the 
most  loyal  and  useful  Trustees  whom 
this  college  has  ever  had.  His  five-year 
term  on  the  Board  would  have  expired 
at  the  last  annual  meeting  held  in 
Lewisburg  on  June  8,  1940,  and  on 
June  10  he  had  hoped  to  make  one  of 
his  infrequent  trips  to  the  campus  in 
connection  with  the  dedication  of  the 
new  Engineering  Building.  But  on  the 
Monday  prior,  his  tired  body  laid  down 
to  sleep  and  did  not  awaken. 

During  his  lifetime  it  was  impossible 
for  us  to  speak  publicly  of  Daniel  C. 
Roberts'  many  and  generous  gifts  to 
Bucknell,  for  he  was  a  very  modest 
man  who  did  not  like  to  hear  his  own 
praises  sung.  Now  that  his  ears  have 
been  sealed  by  gentle  death,  we  are 
free  to  speak  of  his  good  deeds  and  to 
let  all  Bucknellians  know  of  them. 

During  the  almost  five  years  in  which 
he  served  on  our  Board  of  Trustees, 
Daniel  Roberts  gave  Bucknell  more 
money  than  any  other  person,  living  or 
dead,  in  the  94-year  history  of  our 
beloved  college.  He  gave  the  funds 
for  Roberts  Hall;  a  large  proportion 
of   the   funds   for   the  Davis   Gymna- 


sium; ten-elevenths  of  the  cost  of  the 
new  Engineering  Building;  a  large  fund 
for  the  reduction  of  the  University's 
old  capital  debt;  generous  gifts  to  the 
Junior  College  at  Wilkes-Barre;  and  in 
addition  to  his  gifts  during  his  life- 
time, remembered  Bucknell  in  his  will. 
Of  all  his  many  gifts  to  Bucknell,  I 
think  the  ones  he  enjoyed  most  were 
his  most  recent  gifts  toward  the  fund 
with  which  we  hope  some  day  to  build 
a  new  library.  Although  he  was  not  a 
college-trained  man  himself,  he  intui- 
tively knew  how  vital  a  library  is  to 
the  life  and  service  of  a  college,  and 
was  very  anxious  that  Bucknell  should 
have  a  new  library  adequate  to  the 
needs  of  our  present  faculty  and  stu- 
dent body.  Had  he  lived  a  few  months 
longer  he  would  have  completed  the 
Library  Fund,  for  he  longed  to  see  the 
work  started  on  that  building  in  the 
fall  of  1940.  Now  others  must  finish 
this  task  he  started  so  generously. 

Daniel  C.  Roberts  was  born  in 
northern  New  York  State  at  the  little 
village  of  Felt's  Mill,  nine  miles  from 
Watertown,  N.  Y.,  in  August,  1858. 
He  left  his  father's  farm  in  his  teens 
and  got  a  job  as  a  clerk  in  a  general 
store  in  Watertown.  His  beginning 
wage  was  $3  a  week.  He  was  proud 
of  this  job,  and  when  he  got  a  raise  of 
fifty  cents  a  week  he  was  so  happy 
that  he  hired  a  livery  rig  for  a  dollar 
to  drive  out  to  his  father's  farm  and 
tell  him  the  good  news. 

There  were  other  clerks  in  this  same 
store  whose  names  have  become  na- 
tionally known  because  they  were  pi- 
oneers in  the  new  system  of  chain  mer- 
chandising, —  Frank  Woolworth, 
Charles  Woolworth,  and  Fred  Kirby. 
They  remembered  Daniel  Roberts'  abil- 
ity and  industry  in  his  work,  and  later 


they  took  him  into  the  great  system 
of  five  and  ten  cent  stores  they  had 
created.  He  became  an  important 
factor  in  the  F.  W.  Woolworth  Com- 
pany, which  he  served  as  an  officer  and 
executive  until  his  retirement  over 
twenty  years  ago. 

Daniel  C.  Roberts  helped,  to  a  de- 
gree no  other  man  has  ever  done,  to  put 
new  courage  and  confidence  into  the 
hearts  of  those  who  are  trying  to  gain 
recognition  for  Bucknell  as  one  of 
America's  great  little  colleges.  Each 
Bucknellian  owes  his  memory  a  tribute 
of  gratitude  and  appreciation  for  the 
long  strides  which  he  helped  Bucknell 
take  during  the  short  five  years  in 
which  he  served  on  our  Board.  In 
your  behalf,  I  have  on  more  than  one 
occasion  tried  to  express  to  him  the  ap- 
preciation we  all  have  felt  toward 
him.  It  was  characteristic  of  his  mod- 
esty that  he  would  always  reply  to  my 
expression  about  as  follows:  "Don't 
thank  me.  Bucknell  has  done  just  as 
much  for  me  in  giving  me  happiness 
and  satisfaction  as  I  have  done  for  it 
in  giving  money." 

We  have  lost  a  noble  friend,  and  I 
shall  remember  him  with  affectionate 
gratitude  all  the  rest  of  the  days  of 
my  life. 


The  Bison  Club  of  Bucknell 
Alumni  Organized 

New  Organization  Will  Give  Active  Cooperation 
to  Athletic  Council 

By  G.  Grant  Panitcr,  '17,  Secretary 


AFTER  many  preliminary  confer- 
ences covering  months  of  care- 
ful planning,  The  Bison  Club 
was  organized  officially  in  Lewisburg

The  general  purpose  of  this  organi- 
zation is  given  in  the  box  on  this  page. 
For  many  years  it  has  been  apparent 
that  there  was  desperate  need  for  some 
agency  to  fill  the  gap  existing  between 
the    Athletic    Council    and    Bucknell 
Alumni.     The  Bison  Club  was  organ- 
ized specifically  as  the  "gap  filler." 

A  survey  of  the  problems  confront- 
ing the  Athletic  Council  revealed  that 
the  first  and  immediate  undertaking 
of  The  Bison  Club  must  be  to  find  a 
means  of  paying  off  a  long  standing 
debt.  For  this  purpose  it  was  de- 
termined that  $5  0,000  had  to  be  raised, 
allowing  for  a  very  small  surplus.  For 
years  this  debt  has  been  a  severe  handi- 
cap to  the  Athletic  Council  and  has 
played  an  important  part  in  setting 
up  our  athletic  policies  and  schedules — 
with  both  of  which  many  Bucknell 
Alumni  have  shown  great  concern. 

This  debt  problem  will  be  solved, 
but  we  are  by  no  means  "over  the  hill" 
at  this  date.  Rush  H.  Kress,  '00,  a 
patron  and  benefactor  of  Bucknell  in 
many  ways,  provided  a  possible  solu- 


THE  PURPOSE 
OF  THE  BISON  CLUB 
"To  stimulate  interest  in  the  in- 
tercollegiate program  of  the  Uni- 
versity among  the  Alumni  and 
friends  of  Bucknell  and  to  secure 
from  them  active  support  and  aid 
in  its  further  development  and  in 
carrying  it  into  and  through  suc- 
cessful operation." 


tion,  by  offering  to  pay  one-third  of 
the  debt.  The  remaining  two-thirds 
of  the  indebtedness  is  to  be  raised  by 
the  Bison  Club.  This  generous  offer 
was  accepted  and  a  quiet  movement 
was  carried  out  in  the  Spring  of  1940 
among  Alumni  to  secure  subscriptions 
for  this  debt,  payable  over  a  three 
year  period. 

The  response  to  this  effort,  carried 
out  only  in  the  larger  Alumni  centers, 
was  most  encouraging,  as  reported  at 
the  June  meeting.  A  total  of  $38,932 
was  subscribed  ($8,000  paid  in  cash) 
by  a  Bison  Club  membership  of  140. 
Since  that  time  subscriptions  and 
memberships  have  been  increased,  but 
the  goal  line  has  not  yet  been  crossed. 

The  Bison  Club  aims  to  have  300 
members  by  Homecoming  and  500 
members  by  Commencement,  1941. 
Every  Bison  Club  member  is  asked  to 
secure  at  least  one  new  member,  as 
one  Bucknellian  to  another — this  plan 
has  been  tried  out  and  it  will  work. 
So  much  for  financial  plans. 

Already  the  club  has  representation 
on  the  Athletic  Council,  actively  in- 
terested in  meeting  problems,  in  which 
Alumni  can  be  helpful.  Committees 
are  working  now,  calling  attention  of 
proper  authorities  to  promising  ath- 
letes who  can  meet  our  scholastic 
standards.  Former  athletes,  over  a 
period  of  many  years,  have  been  con-

tacted   and   are   giving    their  support, 
in  spirit  and  financially. 

The  officers  of  The  Bison  Club 
would  like  every  interested  Alumnus 
to  become  a  member — now.  If  you  are 
concerned  about  athletics  at  Bucknell, 
in  securing  schedules  for  her  teams  in 
keeping  with  her  scholastic  standards 
and  the  size  of  her  student  body,  you 
should  be  a  member  of  The  Bison 
Club.  If  your  local  club  President 
cannot  give  you  complete  details, 
please  write  to  the  Alumni  Office  at 
Lewisburg. 

On  Homecoming  Day,  Saturday, 
November  2,  the  Bison  Club  will 
parade  with  other  organizations. 
Members  are  asked  to  report  at  the 
Lewisburg  High  School  at  10:45.  A 
meeting  and  luncheon  at  The  Lewis- 
burg Inn,  given  by  Mr.  Kress,  will 
follow  at  11:30.  Every  Bison  Club 
member  —  and  all  Alumni  interested 
in  becoming  Bison  Club  members  (we 
can  fix  up  your  eligibility  in  short 
order)    —  will   be  most  welcome. 

The  Bison  Club  has  made  definite 
progress  along  one  of  Bucknell's  most 
troubled  highways.  They  have  deter- 
mined where  they  want  to  go  and  how 
to  get  there.  And  beyond  a  doubt 
they  are  on  their  way  to  some  real 
accomplishments  for  Bucknell. 


A  MESSAGE  TO  THE  ALUMNI 

By  E.  A.  Snyder,  11, 

President,  General  Alumni  Association 


ONCE  more  Bucknell  is  opening  wide  her  welcoming 
doors  to  youth  and  starting  her  ninety-fifth  year 
of  instructing  them  in  the  way  of  life.  In  these 
grim  times  this  is  no  easy  task.  Dictatorial  might  in  a 
war-ravaged  world  has  assailed  our  fundamental  Christian 
ideals  with  terrific  force  and  often  seeming  success.  Its 
sneering  contempt  of  decency,  right  and  justice  in  our  way 
of  living  and  its  ideology  of  ruthless  force  has  unfortu- 
nately created  temporary  doubts  and  confused  thinking 
in  many  minds. 

To  dispel  such  devastating  doubts  and  to  instill  firmly 
the  conviction  that  truth,  decency,  Christian  justice  and 
moral  right  will  prevail  is  today's  firm  task  faced  by  all 
colleges.  Bucknell,  our  beloved  Alma  Mater,  with  her  able 
faculty  and  beloved  President  Arnaud  C.  Marts — than 
whom  there  is  no  finer — is  ready  and  eager  to  face  it.  Are 
we  Alumni  going  to  allow  her  to  face  it  alone  or  will  we 
rally  to  her  support?  Will  we  be  "talking"  or  "doing" 
Alumni?  There  are  so  many  ways  in  which  we  all  can  aid 
her  in  the  good  work.  Nothing  worthwhile  can  be  too 
trivial  to  be  helpful  or  too  big  to  be  most  advantageously 
utilized. 

All  assistance  to  Bucknell  in  any  of  her  activities  is  just 
so  much  extra  ammunition  that  will  be  used  in  her  fight 
against  the  world's  "isms"  founded  on  greed  and  might, 
and  will  help  to  replace  them  with  a  really  worth-while- 
"ism"  —  Americanism,  the  "ism"  of  freedom,  liberty,  and 
equality  based  on  decency  and  Christian  ideals. 

You  Alumni  of  Bucknell  are  doing  more  and  more  each 
year  for  her.  Alumni  activity  was  never  greater.  Let  us 
intensify  our  efforts  this  year.  Copies  of  the  minutes  of 
the  meeting  of  the  General  Alumni  Association  held  last 
June  in  Lewisburg  were  sent  to  the  presidents  of  the  thirty- 
six  local  alumni  associations  for  distribution.  Extra  copies 
are  available  at  the  Alumni  Office  and  will  gladly  be  mailed 
to  any  one  who  writes  in  for  them.  It  was  the  best  at- 
tended and  most  enthusiastic  business  meeting  of  the  Asso- 
ciation that  we  have  had  for  years.  We  hope  these  minutes 
will  be  helpful  and  suggestive  for  your  local  meetings.  Let 
us  make  them  bigger  and  better. 

I  hope  that  each  local  Alumni  Association  (as  many  did 
last  year)  will  decide  on  some  specific  project  for  the  good 
of  Bucknell  and  carry  it  through  to  a  successful  conclusion 
by  June.  Let  your  Alumni  Office  at  Lewisburg  and  the 
officers  of  your  General  Alumni  Association  help  you  make 
your  local  meetings  better  if  possible.  Call  on  them  for  aid 
and  suggestions.  They  will  appreciate  the  opportunity  of 
serving  you  and  Bucknell. 

Also,  let  us  keep  up  the  good  work  of  forming  more 
new  local  alumni  associations.  There  is  strength  in  numbers 
and  greater  strength  in  organized  effort.  It  is  not  a  difficult 
undertaking  to  start  a  new  active  association  or  to  keep  an 
old  one  enthusiastic.  Your  Alumni  Office  is  preparing  a 
handbook  for  Alumni  Club  Officers  which  we  believe  will 
be  helpful  along  these  lines.  Write  for  a  copy  if  you  feel 
the  urge  to  do  something  for  Bucknell.  Write  for  it  if  you 
don't — maybe  it  will  produce  the  urge. 

The  world  has  hurled  a  challenge  on  the  doorstep  of  all 
good  Americans.  Let  us  meet  it  by  doing  our  utmost  to 
support  the  three  things  that  can  defy  and  conquer  the 
challengers,  our  God,  our  Country,  and  our  Colleges.    Real 


Christianity,  true  Americanism  and  Education  in  real  living 
inculcated  in  our  youth  will  produce  the  men  and  women 
of  tomorrow  who  will  preserve  for  us  the  ideals  of  true 
democracy.  All  of  us  loyal  Bucknellians  owe  it  to  our- 
selves and  each  other  to  aid  this  work.  Let  us  aid  it  in  one 
good  way  by  working  for  one  of  the  big  things  in  our  life, 
our  Alma  Mater — Our  Bucknell.

On  cTke  Campus 


Dr.  Page  Named 
Dean  of  Men 


Ralph  E.    Page 

Dr.  Robert  L.  Sutherland  resigned 
during  the  summer  as  dean  of  men  and 
head  of  the  department  of  sociology, 
to  accept  an  important  post  at  the 
University  of  Texas.  Dr.  Ralph  E. 
Page,  professor  of  political  science,  a 
person  exceptionally  well  qualified,  has 
been  appointed  his  successor  as  Dean 
of  Men. 

On  September  1st,  Dr.  Sutherland 
became  Director  of  the  Hogg  Founda- 
tion and  professor  of  sociology  at  the 
University  of  Texas.  The  Hogg 
Foundation,  created  from  a  fund  of 
$2,5  00,000  in  the  estate  of  the  late 
Will  C.  Hogg,  Houston,  Texas,  philan- 
thropist, provides  for  a  wide  program 
of  mental  health  for  the  entire  state. 

By  going  to  Texas,  Dr.  Sutherland 
concluded  ten  years  of  service  on  the 
Bucknell  faculty. 

To  succeed  Dr.  Sutherland,  Presi- 
dent Marts  chose  a  faculty  member 
who  had  already  had  considerable  ex- 
perience in  student  activities  and  in 
student  guidance.  Dr.  Ralph  E.  Page 
is  a  native  of  Indiana  and  was  grad- 
uated from  Bluffton  College  at  Bluff- 
ton,  Ohio,  in  1926.  He  then  attended 
Syracuse  University,  receiving  from 
that  school  the  Master  of  Arts  degree 
and  later  the  Doctor  of  Philosophy  de- 
gree. From  1928  until  1930  he  was 
an  instructor  on  the  Syracuse  faculty. 

In  addition  to  his  teaching  duties 
at  Bucknell,  Dr.  Page  has  served  as 
adviser  to  several  important  student 
organizations.  In  1936  he  was  presi- 
dent of  the  Bucknell  Chapter  of  the 
American  Association  of  University 
Professors.

Trudging  footsteps  on  gravel  paths 
---  dinks  and  black  ties  —  freshmen 
wandering  about  like  lost  sheep, 
searching  for  new  class  rooms  —  foot- 
ball in  the  air  —  professors  smiling 
with  satisfaction  at  this  season's 
"bumper  crop"  of  scholastic  raw  ma- 
terial —  Bucknell  University  has 
started  her  ninety-fifth  year  of  aca- 
demic existence! 

This  is  truly  a  season  of  beginnings, 
when  campus  organizations  survey  and 
take  stock  of  their  resources,  making 
plans  for  activities  during  the  winter 
months,  when  professors  start  laying 
the  groundwork  for  semester  courses, 
when  the  college  bookstore  revels  in 
its  sale  of  new  tomes,  and  when  Mr. 
Joseph  College,  and  his  co-ed  sister 
Sue,  start  wearing  the  newness  from 
fall  ensembles  in  class  room,  sorority 
suite,  and  fraternity  "den". 

It  is  indeed  a  magnificent  beginning 
for  BucknelPs  "infants",  the  class  of 
'44.  The  vista  opening  before  their 
eyes  is  the  product  of  ninety-four  years 
of  academic  growth  and  expansion. 
The  new  wing  of  the  Engineering 
Building,  with  its  innovations  in  archi- 
tecture and  teaching  facilities,  is  hous- 
ing its  first  classes  this  fall.  This 
year's  freshmen  are  enjoying  an  en- 
larged and  more  complete  sports  pro- 
gram, because  the  erection  of  Davis 
Gymnasium  has  made  available  many 
new  recreation  facilities.  Freshman 
men  have  been  afforded  the  opportu- 
nity of  an  increased  spirit  of  fellow- 
ship, through  the  establishment  of  a 
Men's  Dining  Hall  by  the  University. 
Larison  Hall  has  been  converted  into 
a  dormitory  for  freshman  women  ex- 
clusively, in  order  that  the  first-year 
co-eds  may  share  a  community  of  in- 
terests. 

The  Homecoming  program  for 
this  year  promises  to  be  a  fine  keynote 
for  the  ushering  in  of  BucknelPs  win- 
ter social  activities.  Coach  Al  Hum- 
phreys' Bisons  meet  Temple  in  the 
Mathewson  Memorial  Stadium  Satur- 
day afternoon,  November  2.  Fraterni- 
ties and  sororities  are  planning 
hearty    receptions    for    their    alumni. 

Thus  has  Bucknell  University  made 
her  ninety-fifth  beginning,  one  which, 
at  the  outset,  is  filled  with  promise  of 
a  splendid  year. 


DR.  MEYER  COMES 
TO  BUCKNELL 

Dr.  Ernst  W.  Meyer,  well-known 
lecturer  on  international  relations  and 
a  member  of  the  faculty  of  Adelphia 
College,  has  been  named  to  the  faculty 
as  a  visiting  professor  for  the  present 
year. 

From  1931  until  1937,  Dr.  Meyer 
was  First  Secretary  of  the  German 
Embassy  in  Washington.  He  resigned 
from  that  position  in  May,  1937,  in 
protest  against  the  Nazis. 

One  of  the  leading  laymen  in  the 
Lutheran  Church  in  Germany,  Dr. 
Meyer,  during  the  past  two  years,  has 
lectured  widely  in  the  United  States 
under  the  auspices  of  the  Federal  Coun- 
cil of  Churches  of  Christ  in  America. 

At  Bucknell,  Dr.  Meyer  is  teaching 
courses  in  political  science,  economics, 
and  history. 


Mr.  F.  Albert  Matsen  was  named  to 
the  faculty  recently  as  an  instructor 
in  chemistry.

FOOTBALL  AND  PREPAREDNESS 

Develop  Men  Physically,  Mentally  and  Morally  for  War  and  for  Life 

By  A.  R.  E.  WYANT,  Ph.D.,  B.D.,  M.D. 

This  timely  address  on  football  was  published  nearly  twenty-five  years  ago 
after  Coach  Stagg  had  said,  "Andy,  you  have  it  all  there."  It  was  reprinted  in 
part  in  the  University  of  Chicago  Magazine  before  any  president  there  had  fool- 
ishly imagined  football  to  be  "a  major  handicap  to  education."  Believing  that 
lack  of  self-discipline  is  a  major  handicap  in  preserving  our  American  way  of 
life,  we  need  an  all-round  education,  physical,  mental  and  moral,  that  will  not 
fail  us  when  it  is  necessary  to  stand  up  and  take  it  on  the  chin;  for  the  depression 
following  a  second  world  war  is  likely  to  make  the  last  depression  look  like  "boom 
days." 

After  an  experience  of  ten  years  of  university  life,  four  years  as  a  teacher, 
fifteen  years  as  a  minister  and  over  thirty  years  as  a  Chicago  physician,  special- 
izing somewhat  in  versatility,  and  without  losing  a  day  of  work  or  play  from 
illness  or  injurv,  I  retired  with  the  abiding  conviction  that  what  I  learned  from 
intercollegiate  football  was  of  vital  importance  in  my  life's  success. 

To  a  younger  generation  who  may  be  called  upon  to  face  the  same  condi- 
tions or  even  worse  in  a  second  world  war,  I  raise  this  call  to  preparedness  in  words 
as  timely  as  if  written  only  yesterdav.     To  them  also  it  will  visualize  the  German 
menace  to  our  freedom  in  1917  as  well  as  today.

Keprint  from  Commencement  News,  June  20,  1917. 


The  Secretary  of  the  Bucknell  Alum- 
ni Association  (in  1917),  in  extending 
to  me  the  invitation  to  be  the  orator  of 
this  occasion,  suggested  that  I  discuss 
a  popular  subject  rather  than  give  an 
exhaustive  dissertation  on  some  schol- 
arly theme.  For  that  and  other  good 
and  sufficient  reasons,  I  gladly  accede 
to  the  request.  With  the  class  of  '92 
football  has  always  been  a  popular 
subject  since  as  freshmen  we  defeated 
the  combined  upper  classes  of  the  Uni- 
versity, and  practically  introduced 
football   at  Bucknell. 

Your  orator,  in  common  with  other 
members  of  his  class,  now  measures 
his  life  by  quarter-centuries;  and  as 
one  who  played  football  four  years 
here  and  three  years  at  the  Univer- 
sity of  Chicago,  against  representative 
teams  from  the  Atlantic  to  the  Pa- 
cific, he  can  speak  from  more  than 
the  average  experience.  During  these 
years  I  have  been  a  firm  believer  in 
the  game  as  a  means  of  developing 
not  only  the  body  but  also  the  mind 
and  character  for  greater  efficiency 
in  life,  thus  helping  to  realize  a  col- 
lege man's  ideal:  "Mens  Sana  in  Cor- 
pore  Sano."  And  in  view  of  the 
special  physical,  mental  and  moral  re- 
quirements needed  for  the  great  con- 
flict in  which  we  are  now  engaged,  I 
champion  football  as  a  valuable  means 
of   preparedness. 

Athletics  in  War  Time 

A  number  of  colleges  have  sus- 
pended all  their  athletic  contests  dur- 


ing the  war,  but  we  hope  that  ath- 
letics will  be  maintained  at  Bucknell, 
as  at  the  University  of  Chicago  where 
Coach  Stagg  has  declared  that  the 
best  means  of  getting  our  college  men 
into  shape  for  warfare  will  not  be  by 
mere  military  drill  and  tactical  man- 
euvers, but  also  by  steady  physical  de- 
velopment which  enables  them  to 
meet  the  rigor  of  modern  warfare. 
He  is  personally  no  less  interested  in 
the  preparedness  idea  than  its  warmest 
advocates  and  believes  that  our  coun- 
try's best  interests  will  be  served  not 
by  canceling  all  athletics,  but  by  en- 
listing a  much  larger  number  of  stu- 
dents in  intramural  games,  even  if 
intercollegiate  contests  are  suspended. 
Trench  fighting  demands  the  maxi- 
mum of  physical  strength,  ability  to 
withstand  the  severest  hardships  and 
stamina  in  the  face  of  gruelling  bod- 
ily discomforts.  For  modern  warfare 
what  discipline  is  better  than  that  of 
the  football  field  where  practically 
every  factor,  needed  on  the  battlefield, 
is  found?  At  Chicago  every  man  in 
competitive  athletics  is  now  engaged 
in  military  drill,  but  his  physical  con- 
ditioning, which  is  the  aim  of  ath- 
letics, is  a  matter  of  as  much  import- 
ance as  anything  else  in  connection 
with  his  preparation.  It  is  worthy  of 
note  that  in  Canadian  and  English 
training  camps  and  even  back  of  the 
lines  in  France  great  emphasis  is  laid 
on  football  and  other  athletic  con- 
tests between  squads,  companies,  regi- 


ments and  even  brigades  and  divisions; 
the  officers  also  taking  part  with  the 
men,  thereby  fostering  a  democratic 
spirit  in  the  army.  This  same  system 
of  athletics  will  surely  be  established 
in  our  great  American  training  camps. 
Football  gives  not  only  the  requisite 
physical  development  for  war,  but 
also  cultivates  those  qualities  of  char- 
acter that  make  a  good  soldier  and  are 
needed  in  the  army  of  this  nation. 

President  Wilson  has  recently  ex- 
pressed his  firm  conviction  that  ath- 
letic sports  should  be  maintained  in 
time  of  war,  saying:  "I  would  be  sin- 
cerely sorry  to  see  the  men  and  boys 
in  our  colleges  and  schools  give  up 
their  athletic  sports,  and  I  hope  most 
sincerely  that  the  normal  course  of 
college  sports  will  be  continued  as 
far  as  possible,  not  only  to  afford  a 
diversion  to  the  American  people  in 
the  days  to  come  when  we  shall  no 
doubt  have  our  share  of  mental  de- 
pression, but  as  a  real  contribution 
to  the  national  defense,  for  our  young 
men  must  be  made  physically  fit  in 
order  that  later  they  may  take  the 
place  of  those  who  are  now  of  mili- 
tary age  and  exhibit  the  vigor  and 
alertness  which  we  are  proud  to  be- 
lieve to  be  characteristic  of  our 
young  men." 

First,  however,  let  us  recognize  that 
there  are  those  who  are  as  rabid 
against  football  as  they  or  others  are 
against  war.  During  the  past  twenty- 
five  years  no  other  game  has  been  so

out suffering  from  any  serious  seasickness. 

While  the  ladies  visited,  the  men  played  softball,  vol- 
leyball, and  quoits.  The  shortstopping  of  senior  'Jack-' 
Duffy  was  something  for  the  younger  and  less  agile  mem- 
bers to  envy,  while  the  second  base  play  of  Guest  Ewing 
from  Lehigh  was  outstanding.

grill   to   the   satisfaction  of   all,   and   "Ken"   Murphy   and

G.  Edgar  Hoover  was  placed  at  its  head, 
Fallon  was  summoned  to  become  a  G- 
man.  Shortly  after  the  Lindbergh  kid- 
napping case  he  became  a  member  of  the 
FBI'S  famous  kidnap  squad  and  helped 
break  many  noted  cases,  among  them  the 
Weyerhauser   abduction. 

Word  has  been  received  of  the  death  of 
Miss  Ximena  E.  Brooks  at  the  home  of  her 
nephew  in  Endicott,  N.  Y.,  late  in  April. 

1928 

Lee  Fahringer,  a  lumber  dealer  in  Ber- 
wick, Pa.,  was  killed  in  June  when  the 
plane  in  which  he  was  flying  crashed  into 
a  hill  at  Heplerville,  ten  miles  from  the 
Berwick  Airport. 

The  cause  of  the  accident  was  not 
known.  Farmers  of  that  section  said  that 
the  motor  sounded  as  though  it  was  work- 
ing well  a  few  minutes  before  the  tragic 
plunge.  There  were  dual  controls  in  the 
ship,  and  it  is  not  known  whether  Mr. 
Fahringer  or  his  companion,  who  was  also 
killed,  was  piloting  the  ship  at  the  time 
of  the  crash. 

1936 

Depression  due  to  ill  health  and  in- 
ability to  continue  her  professional  work 
as  a  trained  nurse  led  to  the  suicide  of  Miss 
Dorothy  Foresman  of  Lewisburg  in  July. 
Miss  Foresman  killed  herself  by  firing  a 
bullet  into  her  mouth. 


Football  and   Preparedness       game    are    permanently    injured,    and 

President  Riley  declares:  "It  is  doubt- 
( Continued  from  page  9)  fu[  whether   any  member  0f   a   C0Hege 

popular  and  no  other  game  has  been  or  university  team  is  living  today  who 
so  severely  criticized,  condemned  and  nas  not  some  apparent  defect  or  some 
even   prohibited   in   a   number   of   col-      as  yet  unknown  weakness  due  to  the 


leges. 


Not  for  "Softies" 


Football  has  been  called  a  "prize- 
fight multiplied  by  eleven,"  "an  apol- 
ogy for  a  rough-and-tumble  fight," 
and  has  been  denounced  as  a  brutal, 
inhuman  practice  unfit  for  civilized 
man    to    countenance.       One    college 

president  has  said:  "Certainly  the  or-  RUgby*  g^inT'lias  "been  militarized  in 
dinary  prize-fight,  out  in  the  open,  America(  says  president  Wheeler  of

roughness     or     severe     strain     of     the 
game." 

Amateur  War 

And,  finally,  football  has  been 
damned  by  comparing  it  to  war. 
"Strictly  speaking,"  says  Dean  Shailer 
Matthews,  "football  is  not  a  game. 
It    is    amateur    war."       The    English 


,  egy  and  ethics  are  those  of  war.     Ex- 

ith  the  American  game  of  football    ;      president   Eliot    attributes    to    footbal

and  favorably  quotes  John  L.  Sullivan      ^  <-barb 

who   once   said:    "I   won't   mix   up   in 

no  football  business.     It's   too   rough.

President  Butler,  of  Columbia,  to 
prove  football  similar  to  the  gladia- 
torial contests,  in  its  baneful  effects 
upon  the  spectators  and  the  general 
public,  quotes  Seneca  who  said  near- 
ly nineteen  hundred  years  ago:  "Man 
who  ought  to  be  sacred  to  his  fel-

hibitions react  on  those  who  permit

The  thousands  that  gather  to  see 
our  great  intercollegiate  football  con- 
tests have  been  compared  to  the 
crowds  who  gather  to  see  the  Spanish 
bull-fights  or  the  multitudes  who  en- 
joyed    the     gladiatorial     contests     or 


fold  more  a   thing  of  hell. 

At  Times  Unsportsmanlike 

Unfortunately,  football  has  not  al- 
ways been  played  in  the  spirit  of  true 
sportsmanship,  and  lust  for  triumph 
at  any  cost  has  sometimes  led  to  un- 
fair,   dishonorable    and    brutal    tactics 


laughter  of  the  Christians  in  the  days      that    must    be    condemned    and    com 


of  pagan  Rome. 

A  few  years  ago  the  dean  of  our 
leading  divinity  school  said:  "Foot- 
ball today  is  a  social  obsession,  a  boy- 
killing,  education-prostituting  gladia- 
torial  sport.      It    teaches    virility    and 


pletely  eliminated  from  the  game.  No 
true  defender  of  the  game  has  any- 
thing but  condemnation  for  the  spirit 
of  a  Hun  either  in  football  or  war. 
Better  defeat  than  dishonor.  The 
apology    that    "military    necessity    de- 


courage^   but   so   does  war.      I   do   not  mands  it,"  is  but  the  devilish  philos-

soldiers  can't  go  through  a  village  without

After  having  been  in  State  service  for 
thirty-two  years,  Dr.  Mary  Wolfe,  Super- 
intendent of  the  Laurelton  State  Village, 
retired  from  that  position  on  September 
1st.  She  is  now  residing  at  her  home  on 
South   Third  Street  in  Lewisburg. 

Dr.  Wolfe  served  as  superintendent  of 
the  women's  ward  of  the  Norristown  State 
Hospital  for  eleven  years  before  being  ap- 
pointed to  take,  charge  of  the  Laurelton 
Village,  then  under  construction  in  Au- 
gust. 1914.  She  was  in  charge  of  early 
planning  and  evolved  the  design  on  which 
the  institution  was  constructed  and  addi- 
tions made.  Work  was  halted  for  a  time 
by  the  World  War,  and  Dr.  Wolfe  entered 
war  duty  as  a  physician  at  Muscle  Shoals. 

She  returned  to  Laurelton  in  1919  and 
supervised  the  completion  and  furnishing 
of  the  three  original  buildings.  The  first 
patient  was  received  onJanuary  2,  1920, 
and  Dr.  Wolfe  had  remained  as  superin- 
tendent since  that  time,  during  which  the 
population  increased  to  over  700  girls  and 
the  buildings  increased  to  nine  cottages,  a 
farm  colony,  laundry,  heat  plant  and 
kitchen,  all  in  service.  In  addition  she 
supervised  a  recent  expansion  program  dur- 
ing which  two  cottages,  a  hospital,  recrea- 
tion hall,  and  administration  building  were 
erected.  These  buildings  lack  furnishings, 
however,  and  are  not  in  use. 

Because  of  the  singular  nature  of  the 
Laurelton  Village,  it  was  largely  necessary 
for  Dr.  Wolfe  to  devise  her  own  system  of 
treatment  and  custody.  This  has  been  de- 
veloped to  the  point  that  furloughs  for 
inmates  of  the  institution  have  been  intro- 
duced in  recent  years,  and  the  work  of  re- 
clamation has  progressed  along  approved 
lines. 

Dr.  Wolfe  has  served  as  president  of  the 
American  Association  of  Mjntal  Deficiency 
and  has  been  active  in  other  national  med- 
ical societies.  She  has  been  identified  with

tion, the  W.  C.  T.  U..  the  Professional 
Women  of  Pennsylvania,  and  the  Pennsyl- 
vania Council  of  Republican  Women. 

After  receiving  her  A.B.  degree  from 
Bucknell  in  1896,  she  was  awarded  a  doc- 
tor's degree  by  the  University  of  Michi- 
gan. She  has  been  a  trustee  of  Bucknell 
since  1935.

Football  and  Preparedness 

(Continued  from  page  14) 
It  is  true  that  football,  like  war, 
if  not  regulated  by  the  higher  laws 
of  humanity,  may  give  opportunity 
for  the  exhibition  of  low  and  brutal 
instincts.  As  international  laws  have 
sought  to  mike  war  more  humane,  so 
intercollegiate  football  rules  have  been 
formulated    to   reduce   the   opportuni- 

34 


ties  for  foul-play  and  brutality  wheth- 
er accidental  or  deliberate;  to  make 
it  more  difficult  for  "dirty  playing" 
to  pass  undetected;  and  these  rules 
are  being  more  strictly  enforced  by  an 
increased  number  of  officials. 

The  most  conspicuous  charge  against 
football  is  that  it  is  intolerably  rough. 
Some  of  us  "old  timers"  have  lively 
recollections  of  the  days  of  the  "fly- 
ing wedge"  when  the  two  opposing 
teams  in  solid  phalanx  would  come 
together  with  a  crash  like  the  armies 
of  Gog  and  Magog.  But  the  so-called 
brutality  of  football  is  not  at  all  like 
the  barbarity  of  the  bull-fight  where 
a  dumb  brute  is  badgered  to  death. 
There  is  no  question  about  football 
being  a  violent  game,  and  it  has  doubt- 
less at  times  been  played  with  un- 
necessary fierceness.  It  is  not  wholly 
possible  in  vigorous  games  to  exclude 
the  danger  element.  The  greatest 
danger  of  physical  harm  comes  to  boys 
of  high  school  age  whose  bones  have 
grown  faster  than  their  muscles.  They 
are  apt  to  be  less  carefully  trained,  if 
trained  at  all,  and  are  inclined  to  be 
reckless.  There  is  no  doubt  that  foot- 
ball is  intolerably  rough  for  untrained 
and  unseasoned  school  boys. 

As  military  life  demands  a  prelim- 
inary medical  examination  showing 
physical  fitness,  so  no  student  should 
be  allowed  to  play  the  game  without 
having  passed  a  thorough  medical  ex- 
amination to  certify  fitness  in  every 
way.  And  as  no  soldier  in  modern 
warfare  is  allowed  to  go  to  the  front 
without  having  undergone  the  severest 
military  training,  so  no  student  should 
be  allowed  to  enter  a  severe  football 
contest  who  has  not  had  the  necessary 
preliminary  training  and  is  not  in  the 
pink  of  condition.  I  believe  that  it 
was  largely  due  to  fulfilling  these  two 
requirements  of  physical  fitness  and 
adequate  preliminary  training  that 
during  seven  years  I  played  through 
more  than  a  hundred  collegiate  and 
intercollegiate  contests  without  re- 
ceiving an  injury  sufficient  to  retire 
me  from  a  single  game.  I  have  written 
to  my  football  class-brothers  who  tes- 
tify that  even  primitive  football  was 
altogether  beneficial  to  them,  despite 
the  injuries  received.  Although  they 
were  serious  enough,  they  were  insig- 
nificant compared  with  the  mental  dis- 
cipline and  bodily  advantage. 

Objections  Exaggerated 

There  is  no  doubt  that  the  objec- 
tionable features  of  football  are  great- 
ly exaggerated  and  its  virtues  under- 
estimated. It  is  really  not  a  brutal 
nor  an  extremely  dangerous  game.  It 
is  dangerous  as  hunting,  mountain- 
climbing,    polo,    yachting,    swimming 


and  similar  exhilarating  sports,  calling 
for  high  exertion  and  some  risk,  are 
dangerous.  But  manly  sports  and 
games  of  that  type  are  wholesome  for 
our  civilization.  President  Faunce 
says:  "I  firmly  believe  that  we  ought 
to  have  one  'rough'  game  in  college, 
one  game  in  which  men  come  into 
personal    conflict    with    one    another." 

The  charge  of  frequent  serious  in- 
juries, leading  to  permanent  weakness- 
es which  prove  a  handicap  to  the  vic- 
tim in  later  life,  would  be  important 
and  almost  unanswerable,  if  it  could 
be  established.  But  the  subject  has 
again  and  again  been  investigated  and 
invariably  the  charge  has  been  proven 
untrue.  I  have  written  to  a  number 
of  Bucknell  and  Chicago  football  men 
and  have  not  heard  of  a  single  case 
where  football  has  hindered  a  man 
from  being  physically  what  he  might 
have  been,  had  he  never  entered  the 
game,  but  on  the  contrary  they  have 
testified  that  they  were  better  fitted 
for  life's  tasks.  Thanks  to  a  good 
physical  heredity  and  proper  hygiene, 
I  can  testify  that  during  the  past 
twenty-five  years,  I  have  not  missed 
a  single  day's  professional  engage- 
ments on  account  of  illness. 

The  president  of  Yale  said  in  1906 
that  football  was  not  only  not  an  ex- 
ceedingly dangerous  game,  as  played 
at  our  colleges,  but  the  least  dangerous 
of  our  more  important  sports,  and 
asserted  that  during  the  thirty  years 
that  they  had  played  American  Rugby 
football  at  Yale,  there  had  been  no 
death  and  to  the  best  of  his  knowledge 
no  grave  case  of  permanent  injury. 
Those  who  are  best  informed  tell  me 
that  the  same  statement  might  be  made 
concerning  football  at  Chicago  and 
Bucknell. 

Newspaper  Football 

If  reporters  were  held  to  more  ac- 
curate statements  of  facts  in  refer- 
ence to  accidents,  and  if  newspapers 
were  less  given  to  the  sensational 
"scare  headline"  habit,  the  public 
would  be  nearer  the  truth.  The  Sun- 
day papers  sometimes  have  left  the 
reader  wondering  whether  any  of  the 
pig-skin  warriors  would  survive  the 
campaign.  "Newspaper  football"  has 
always  been  a  most  deadly  sport,  but 
all  football  players  know  that  almost 
all  of  these  injuries  exist  only  in  the 
imagination  of  the  reporters. 

Impartial  investigations,  covering 
thousands  of  men  who  played  foot- 
ball in  our  leading  institutions  for  a 
score  of  years  bring  out  the  almost 
unanimous  opinion  that  the  game  had 
been  of  marked  benefit  to  them,  both 
in  the  way  of  general  physical  develop- 
ment and  of  mental  discipline,  and 
that  the  injuries  received  were  general- 


ly unimportant  and  far  outweighed 
by  the  benefits. 

It  requires  such  a  game  which  has 
the  element  of  danger  in  it  to  furnish 
opportunity  for  the  development  of 
courage  and  fortitude.  It  develops  a 
physical  manhood  which  is  very  desir- 
able and  is  conducive  to  courage  and 
the  spirit  that  would  disregard  safety 
and  abandon  one's  self  to  duty.  Ex- 
President  Roosevelt  said  at  a  Harvard 
Alumni  dinner:  "I  believe  in  out- 
door games  and  I  do  not  mind  in  the 
least  that  they  are  rough  games,  or 
that  those  who  take  part  in  them  are 
occasionally  injured.  I  have  no  sym- 
pathy whatever  with  the  overwrought 
sentimentality  which  would  keep  a 
young  man  in  cotton-wool,  and  I  have 
a  hearty  contempt  for  him  if  he 
counts  a  broken  arm  or  a  collar-bone 
as  of  serious  consequence  when  bal- 
anced against  the  chance  of  showing 
that  he  possesses  hardihood,  physical 
address  and  courage."  No  youth  with 
bone  and  muscle  and  red  blood  in  him, 
comes  to  his  own  without  somewhere 
and  somehow  a  chance  at  the  physical 
tryout  with  worthy  adversaries. 

Football  also  has  a  moral  value. 
Notwithstanding  all  that  has  been  said 
against  the  game,  we  believe  that  it 
has  a  spirit  worth  saving  to  our  Ameri- 
can student  life.  It  has  a  mission  that 
no  other  game  can  serve  so  well.  The 
good  secured  infinitely  surpasses  the 
harm  done.  It  is  not  a  mere  co-inci- 
dence that  the  old  drinking  and  ca- 
rousing of  a  generation  or  two  ago,  the 
smashing  of  windows  and  destruction 
of  property  and  hazing  characteristic 
of  that  time,  disappeared  from  col- 
lege life  with  the  development  of  foot- 
ball. The  critics  of  the  game  should 
remember  that  the  coming  in  of  ath- 
letics has  lessened  very  distinctly  cer- 
tain evil  tendencies  and  dangers  in 
college  life  by  serving  as  a  superb 
moral   safety-valve. 

Football  Develops  Character 

I  am  a  firm  believer  in  the  game 
because  it  is  so  virile  and  because  when 
properly  played  it  develops  so  many 
qualities  of  character  that  we  most 
admire.  What  we  want  to  develop 
morally  in  athletics  is  cleanness,  hon- 
esty, sport  and  fair-play.  The  trainer 
or  coach  should  be  made  to  feel  that 
high  moral  standards  and  the  spirit 
of  fair-play  are  more  important  than 
victory;  that  in  fact  anything  must 
be  sacrificed,  even  the  game  itself,  be- 
fore unfair  practices  are  either  encour- 
aged or  tolerated. 

I  believe  that  our  college  athletics 
should  be  under  the  direction  and  con- 
trol of  a  man  of  high  moral  standards, 
who  should  be  a  member  of  the  fac- 
ulty and  whose  special  training  along 

35 


practical,  scholastic  and  technical 
lines  is  as  thorough  as  that  of  any 
other  professor.  Such  is  the  arrange- 
ment at  the  University  of  Chicago 
where  "Old  Man"  Stagg  has  a  greater 
moral  influence  over  the  boys  than 
has  the  chaplain  of  the  University. 

It  is  a  game  fitted  to  develop  col- 
lege enthusiasm  and  loyalty  and  in- 
crease intercollegiate  sportsmanship, 
bringing  out  man's  best  individual 
traits  and  making  strong  bodies  and 
men.  But,  if  the  desire  to  win  is 
allowed  to  outrun  everything  else,  that 
tendency  will  be  in  its  moral  ruin.  A 
player  who  strikes  another  in  anger 
or  tries  to  "do  him  up"  is  a  disgrace 
to  his  college  and,  instead  of  being  ap- 
plauded, should  be  made  to  feel  the 
disgrace  by  his   fellow-students. 

Football  and  Self-Discipline 

More  than  any  other  game  football 
helps  to  develop  not  only  a  strong, 
healthy  body,  but  also  a  character  of 
courage,  fairness  and  self-control.  It 
was  well  said  at  a  Yale-Harvard  foot- 
ball dinner  that  if  violent  encounters 
on  the  football  field  do  lead  to  the 
temptation  of  brutality  and  foul-play, 
they  also  give  opportunities  for  re- 
sisting this  temptation,  and  conse- 
quently for  the  development  of  the 
highest  forms  of  courage  and  self- 
control. 

Football  has  been  vehemently  criti- 
cized because  it  is  a  "fighting  game," 
but  others  say  that  this  is  one  of  its 
chief  merits.  As  President  Hall,  of 
Clark  University,  has  said:  "An  able- 
bodied  young  man  who  cannot  fight 
physically  can  hardly  have  a  high  and 
true  sense  of  honor,  and  is  generally  a 
milksop,  a  lady-boy,  or  a  sneak.  He 
lacks  virility,  his  masculinity  does  not 
ring  true,  his  honesty  cannot  be  sound 
to  the  core.  Hence,  instead  of  eradi- 
cating this  instinct,  one  of  the  great- 
est problems  of  physical  and  moral 
pedagogy  is  rightly  to  temper  and 
direct  it."  H.  Addington  Bruce,  in 
writing  on  "The  Psychology  of  Foot- 
ball," declares  that  it  is  a  wonderful 
aid  to  self-revelation  and  to  self- 
mastery.  "It  does  tend,  as  some  critics 
have  sneeringly  declared,  to  bring  out 
any  underlying  meanness  there  may 
be  in  a  player;  but,  having  brought  it 
out,  it  tends  still  more  strongly  to  do 
away  with  it.  The  'tripper',  the  'slug- 
ger', the  unfair  player  of  any  sort,  is 
usually  despised  even  by  his  own  team- 
mates, to  whose  advantage  his  tactics 
would  naturally  redound,  and,  if  the 
coach  and  captain  are  the  right  kind, 
he  is  forced  pretty  quickly  either  to 
change  his  ways  or  get  off  the  team." 
Many  men  testify  to  the  help  received 
from  the  game  in  developing  self- 
control    and,    by    playing    the    game, 


have  made  themselves  men  worthy  to 
play  the  game. 

Football  and  Efficiency 

Football  develops  greater  efficiency 
for  any  vocation  in  life;  the  mental 
faculties  are  made  more  alert  by  those 
features  of  the  game  which  call  for 
quickness  of  perception  and  lightning- 
like decision.  It  cultivates  determina- 
tion, that  comprehensive  quality  called 
"pluck",  and  above  all,  powers  of 
reasoning  and  generalship.  Football  is 
a  science  as  truly  as  war.  It  has  been 
called  "the  most  scientific  game  in 
the  world."  To  win  a  game  of  foot- 
ball, the  most  intricate  plans  of  at- 
tack and  defense  must  be  employed. 
As  Mr.  Bruce  well  says:  "The  sudden- 
ness and  rapidity  with  which  plays 
may  be  varied,  the  necessity  of  being 
constantly  on  the  watch  to  anticipate 
some  shrewd  move  by  the  other  side, 
the  instant  and  resourceful  planning 
needed  to  remedy  an  unlooked-for 
weakness  in  defense,  make  assuredly 
for  the  development  of  just  those 
mental  traits  most  helpful  to  success 
not  only  on  the  footb.ill  field,  but  in 
the  larger  arena  of  the  world"  both  as 
citizen  and  soldier. 

Football  also  cultivates  attention 
and  obedience,  as  orders  must  be 
heard  and  obeyed  instantly.  The  quali- 
ties of  obedience  and  courage  are  two 
qualities  essential  to  the  highest  man- 


hood. It  has  been  well  said  that 
promptness  in  obedience  to  proper  au- 
thority and  courage  in  the  face  of 
imminent  danger  are  absolutely  indis- 
pensable to  the  highest  development 
and  preservation  of  our  Christian  civil- 
ization. 

Football  and  Team-Work 

And,  finally,  football  teaches  that 
most  valuable  lesson  of  "team-work;" 
that  while  no  one  by  his  own  unaided 
efforts,  however  brilliant,  can  win  the 
victory,  by  his  slackness  or  cowardice 
or  his  failure  to  co-operate  with  his 
fellows,  he  may  bring  defeat.  Quot- 
ing an  English  football  authority: 
"The  player  gets  some  elementary  con- 
ception of  the  salient  truth  that  the 
great  results  in  this  world  are  attained 
only  when  men  work  loyally  and 
heartily  together  for  the  attainment 
cf  a  common  end.  He  learns  also 
that  self-restraint  which  is  one  of  the 
three  virtues  which  lead  up  to  sover- 
eign power.  He  learns  pluck,  and  he 
learns  how  to  concentrate  his  efforts; 
he  learns,  above  all,  justice  to  an  ap- 
ponent,  and  that  the  essential  condi- 
tion of  corporate  action  is  the  strict 
adherence  to  law.  He  must  not  only 
play  up;  he  must  play  the  game. 

Athletics  and  the  War 

It  is  not  surprising  that  the  casu- 
alty lists  from  the  belligerent  coun- 
tries   of    Europe    contain    a    high    per- 


centage of  the  names  of  well-known 
athletes.  The  same  qualities,  that  lead 
a  man  to  dive  from  full  speed  in  a 
tackle,  are  among  the  qualities  which 
fit  him  for  high  deeds  when  he  is 
called  to  charge  across  the  greater 
gridiron  called  "no  man's  land,"  which 
lies  between  the  smoking  trenches  of 
Teutonic  and  allied  armies.  The  young 
men  of  America,  who  lead  all  the 
young  men  of  the  world  in  all-round 
athletic  distinction,  can  be  counted  on 
as  a  valuable  asset  to  their  country  in 
this  time  of  great  world  crisis.  Presi- 
dent Wilson  says:  "The  whole  nation 
must  be  a  team  in  which  each  man 
shall  play  the  part  for  which  he  is 
best  fitted." 

Football  holds  up  an  ideal  of  self- 
denial  and  self-control,  severe  toil  and 
indifference  to  fatigue,  obedience  to 
orders  and  absolute  physical  courage, 
quick  and  accurate  thinking  coinci- 
dent with  extreme  physical  effort,  des- 
perate determination  with  the  will  to 
win,  and  many  other  manly,  soldierly 
qualities.  The  fierceness  of  the  attack, 
the  obstinacy  of  the  defense  and  the 
intensity  of  the  struggle,  inspired  by 
loyalty  to  a  college  ideal  and  by  a 
feeling  close  akin  to  patriotism,  are 
but  an  earnest  of  that  indomitable 
spirit  that  will  assure  the  peace  of 
victory  in  our  supreme  struggle  for 
the  fundamentals  of  civilization,  when 
the  honor  of  our  flag  and  the  rights 
of  mankind  are  at  stake.

year  is  incorporated  in  the  design  of  the  ring.  Fraternity 
seals  may  be  added  to  the  stone. 

According  to  L.  G.  Balfour  Company,  that  concern  has 
in  its  possession  at  the  present  time  practically  all  the  stones 
of  this  type  in  the  United  States.  These  stones  are  im- 
ported and  are  not  available  at  any  price  at  the  present 
time.  They  have  decided  to  allow  their  prices  to  stand 
until  the  supply  is  exhausted  hoping  that  in  the  meantime 


the  situation  may  be  relieved.  However,  any  Bucknellian 
who  is  anticipating  buying  a  ring  would  do  well  to  do  so 
at  once.  Send  all  inquiries  and  orders  to  the  Alumni  Office; 
they  will  receive  immediate  consideration. 


Several  alumni  have  contributed  money  to  be  used 
in  helping  to  pay  for  this  issue  of  the  Alumni 
Monthly.    Their  generosity  is  greatly  appreciated.

Dear  Bucknellians: 

Your  Alma  Mater,  and  I  personally, 
send  you  sincere  greetings  for  a  Merry 
Christmas  and  a  Happy  New  Year. 

I  think  that  I  could  send  you  no  better 
message  than  to  repeat  the  recent  words 
of  a  college  student  whose  college  has 
been  bombed  frequently  this  year.  This 
young  man  at  Kwangsi  University  in 
China  said, 

"Even  though  we  shall  be  bombed  again  tomor- 
row, we  are  not  afraid!  A  better  world  must  come 
out  of  this,  and  we  are  eager  to  have  a  part  in  creat- 
ing it." 

We  are  not  afraid! 

Let  us  not  be  as  much  concerned  about  what  1941  may 
have  in  store  for  us,  as  we  are  concerned  about  what 
we  may  have  in  store  for  1941.  May  all  Bucknellians 
bring  to  1941  increased  courage,  and  faith,  and  loyalty 
to  the  Bucknell  Way  of  Life  —  the  way  of  intelligence, 
of  integrity,  and  of  brotherhood. 

With  kind  personal  regards.

ON  February  5,  ninety-five  years  ago,  a  charter 
was  granted  to  the  Northumberland  Baptist 
Association  giving  it  the  right  to  establish  a 
college  —  a  college  which  has  become  endeared  to 
us  as  Bucknell  University,  our  Alma  Mater.  We  may 
proudly  look  back  over  the  ninety-five  years  of  Buck- 
nell's  outstanding  history  and  note  the  steady  prog- 
ress she  has  made.  An  increase  in  student  enroll- 
ment from  22  to  1,3 IB;  the  introduction  of  new 
courses  and  the  development  of  a  distinguished 
faculty;  the  construction  of  new  buildings  and  the 
purchasing  of  modern  equipment  are  but  a  few  ex- 
amples of  Bucknell's  growth. 

ALUMNI  CLUBS  TO  JOIN  CELEBRATION 
Since  it  will  be  impossible  for  Bucknellians  from 
all  parts  of  the  country  to  gather  together  at  one 
particular  place  on  February  5,  1941,  Bucknell  Alum- 
ni Clubs  and  alumni  groups  are  urged  to  celebrate 
Bucknell's  Ninety-fifth  Anniversary  in  their  own  com- 
munities. The  Alumni  Office  will  assist  you  in  com- 
pleting plans  for  a  celebration  by  your  alumni 
group.  Join  Bucknellians  throughout  the  world  in 
commemorating  nearly  a  century  of  Bucknell's  glo- 
rious existence.

Ninety-five  years  ago,  along  these  shores  of  the  picturesque  Susquehanna 
River,  a  small  group  of  leaders  saw  their  tireless  efforts  rewarded  by  the 
establishment  of  the  University  at  Lewisburg.  With  its  founding  went  their 
hopes  and  prayers  that  it  would  gradually  increase  its  educational  opportuni- 
ties and  service  to  ambitious  young  men  and  young  women  and  some  day 
become  a  leading  institution  of  higher  learning.

Keeping  faith  with  the  founding  fathers,  Bucknell  University  has  steadily 
expanded  its  service  to  youth  during  the  past  ninety-five  years  and  has 
attained  a  position  of  prominence  as  one  of  the  leading  small  co-educational 
colleges  in  America.

Editor's  Note 

A  distinct  honor  has  come  to 
Bucknell  by  the  appointment  of 
our  beloved  President  to  the 
position  of  Director  of  the  newly 
created  Council  of  Defense  for 
Pennsylvania.  When  President 
Marts  was  requested  by  Gover- 
nor James  to  organize  and  direct 
the  work  of  the  Defense  Council 
for  Pennsylvania,  he  accepted  the 
appointment  because  of  its  pa- 
triotic nature.  Dr.  Marts  will 
continue  as  President  of  Buck- 
nell, returning  to  the  campus 
each  Thursday  to  perform  his 
administrative  duties.  He  has 
stated:  "I  shall  be  only  on  a  par- 
tial leave  for  a  few  months." 

The  Governor's  Office  in  an- 
nouncing the  appointment  of  Dr. 
Marts  to  the  Defense  Council 
issued  the  following  statement: 
"The  Board  of  Trustees  of 
Bucknell  University  and  the 
Board  of  Directors  of  Marts  and 
Lundy,  Inc.,  New  York  City, 
each  of  which  commands  one- 
half  of  Mr.  Marts'  time,  have 
agreed  that  he  should  render 
this  patriotic  service  for  a  few 
months  and  have  extended  him 
a  leave  of  absence  for  that  period 
except  for  certain  duties  which 
no  one  else  would  be  able  to  take 
over.  Both  Boards  have  stipu- 
lated that  he  return  to  his  regu- 
lar duties  just  as  soon  as  he  can 
get  the  work  of  the  Defense 
Council  organized  and  Governor 
James  feels  he  can  be  released 
without  injury  to  the  Defense 
Program." 


Commencement  time  will  soon  be  here,  —  June  7,  8,  and  9.  Are  you  planning  to 
come  back  at  that  time?  I  hope  so,  for  it  does  Bucknell  an  immense  amount  of  good  to 
know  that  her  sons  and  daughters  care  enough  about  her  to  gather  from  far  and  near 
on  this  important  annual  occasion. 

Have  you  seen  the  campus  in  recent  years  —  these  Three  Hundred  Acres  set  apart 
for  the  inspiration  and  guidance  of  youth?  Have  you  met  the  men  and  women  who  are 
now  teaching  the  Bucknell  Way  of  Life  —  successors  to  that  long  line  of  splendid 
teachers  known  to  older  Bucknellians?  Have  you  become  acquainted  with  the  students 
who  are  now  on  the  campus,  walking  the  paths  which  you  once  climbed? 

Come  back  whenever  you  can  and  keep  your  knowledge  of  Bucknell  fresh  and 
up-to-date.  I  particularly  invite  you  to  our  1941  Commencement. 

Did  you  read  a  few  weeks  ago  the  statement  by  Dr.  F.  P.  Keppel,  president  of  the 
Carnegie  Corporation,  which  has  done  so  much  for  American  colleges  and  universities, 
in  regard  to  the  future  of  our  nation's  private  colleges?  He  said,  in  effect,  that,  in  con- 
sequence of  present  trends  toward  a  new  economy  in  America,  some  of  our  private 
colleges  will  not  be  able  to  endure  and  will  be  weeded  out  in  the  years  ahead. 

Many  of  you  have  asked  me  if  I  agree  with  Dr.  Keppel,  and  what  bearing  this 
prophecy  may  have  upon  the  future  of  Bucknell.  I  do  agree  with  Dr.  Keppel.  We  have 
many  small  colleges  in  America  which  are  not  sufficiently  well  established,  or  located, 
or  accredited,  to  survive  the  economic  adjustments  and  the  academic  competition  which 
lie  ahead.  They  will  doubtless  be  weeded  out. 

But  as  to  the  bearing  which  this  prophecy  may  have  upon  the  future  of  your  Alma 
Mater,  my  reply  is  —  Bucknell  is  not  a  weed,  and  it  will  survive  the  most  difficult  days 
which  I  can  imagine.  It  will  not  only  survive,  but  it  will,  in  my  opinion,  grow  steadily 
in  power  and  effectiveness  and  prestige.  It  is  superbly  located,  splendidly  established, 
and  will,  I  believe,  be  a  permanent  factor  in  the  educational  and  spiritual  life  of  America. 

Put  your  ear  to  the  heart  of  Bucknell.  You  will  hear  and  feel  the  throb  of  vigorous 
life,  of  zest,  of  high  purpose  and  courage  for  the  task  of  fitting  the  minds  and  spirits  of 
Bucknell  youth  for  the  thrilling  new  world  which  they  will  soon  inherit. 

With  kindest  regards, 

Yours  sincerely,

Birthday  Cake — Ninety-Fifth  Charter  Day  Celebration- 
President  Marts  and  Toastmaster  O.  V.  W.  Hawkins 


Ninety-Fifth  Charter  Day  Celebrated 

President  Marts,  Admiral  Stark,  and  Mrs.  Harriman  Speak 
During  Broadcast;  Alumni  Clubs  Hold  Meetings 

ON  February  5,  Bucknell's  ninety-fifth  birthday  was 
celebrated  by  her  sons  and  daughters,  friends,  and 
distinguished  citizens  who  paid  tribute  to  her  glori- 
ous record.  Throughout  the  world,  wherever  Bucknellians 
happened  to  be,  their  thoughts  turned  toward  their  Alma 
Mater  and  the  valued  contributions  she  has  made  to  their 
lives.  They  paused  for  a  few  brief  moments  as  their  memo- 
ries recalled  days  spent  in  an  environment  of  work  and 
play,  filled  with  inspiration,  knowledge,  guidance,  and 
friendship  which  has  since  given  them  the  power  to  adjust 
themselves  to  success  and  adversity  as  they  constantly  re- 
tain an  ever  increasing  desire  of  service  to  man.  Proud  of 
her  past  and  filled  with  abounding  hope  for  her  future, 
they  joined  in  an  outstanding  and  distinctive  birthday 
celebration. 

The  New  York  Bucknell  Metropolitan  Alumni  Associa- 
tion acted  as  host  for  its  Alma  Mater's  birthday  party  with 
a  gala  celebration  at  Hotel  Astor,  Times  Square,  New  York 
City.  From  this  "crossroads  of  the  world",  far  from  the 
old  campus  oaks,  originated  the  Bucknell  broadcast  de- 
signed primarily  to  give  all  youth  new  hope  and  inspira- 
tion. Amid  the  splendor  of  beautifully  decorated  ballrooms, 
Bucknellians  in  formal  dress  assembled  at  6:30  p.m.,  to 
join  in  real  fellowship.  A  delicious  seven-course  dinner  was 
served  to  approximately  three  hundred  alumni  and  guests. 
At  various  times  throughout  the  meal  selections  were  sung 
by  a  quartet  from  the  Bucknell  University  Men's  Glee  Club. 
Some  of  the  prominent  personages  present  were:  Dr.  Arnaud 
C.  Marts,  president  of  the  University;  Mrs.  J.  Borden 
Harriman,  United  States  Minister  to  Norway;  Prince  Hu- 
bertus  zu  Loewenstein,  lecturer  for  the  Carnegie  Endow- 
ment for  International  Peace;  Mr.  E.  A.  Snyder,  president 
of  the  General  Alumni  Association;  Mr.  Rush  H.  Kress, 
past  president  of  the  Athletic  Council  and  newly  elected 
president  of  the  Bison  Club;  Mr.  O.  V.  W.  Hawkins,  presi- 
dent of  the  New  York  Branch  of  the  Metropolitan  Alumni 
Association;  and  Mr.  M.  R.  Buffington,  president  of  the 
New  Jersey  Branch  of  the  Metropolitan  Association.  The 
Trenton  Alumni  Club,  of  which  Mr.  Harold  W.  Griffith 
is  president,  and  the  Monmouth  County  Alumni  Club,  of 
which  Mr.  William  M.  Lybarger  is  president,  attended  the 
New  York  celebration. 

Perhaps  the  most  impressive  part  of  the  banquet  was  the 
serving  of  the  final  course  with  fitting  ceremony.  While 
the  Bucknell  Glee  Club  sang,  a  huge  birthday  cake  deco- 
rated with  orange  and  blue  trimmings  was  carried  into  the 
banquet  hall  by  the  head  waiter  who  led  a  procession  of 
thirty  waiters  carrying  large  trays  on  which  were  placed 
dishes  of  molded  orange  and  blue  ice  cream  bearing  tiny 
lighted  candles.  As  the  waiters  encircled  the  room  and  then

moved  to  their  respective  tables,  the 
soft  glow  of  the  candles  seemed  to 
make  the  Bucknell  Spirit  burn  more 
brightly  than  ever  in  the  hearts  of 
alumni  and  friends. 

GLEE  CLUB  CONCERT  AND 
BROADCAST  AT  HOTEL  ASTOR 

At  8:45  p.m.,  those  who  attended 
the  banquet  adjourned  to  the  North 
Ballroom  where  they  joined  about  500 
prospective  students  and  other  alumni. 
Together  they  listened  to  a  concert 
given  by  the  Bucknell  University 
Men's  Glee  Club  which  was  making 
its  annual  tour  of  the  Atlantic  States, 
they  also  enjoyed  the  new  motion  pic- 
ture, "Going  to  Bucknell",  and  later 
listened  to  a  half-hour  radio  broadcast 
which     originated     from     that    room. 

When  introducing  the  Bucknell 
radio  program,  "What  America  Ex- 
pects of  Its  Youth  Today",  President 
Marts  explained  that  we  were  not  go-

ing  to  use  the  facilities  of  the  Mutual 
Broadcasting  System  for  "the  selfish 
purpose  of  glorifying  Bucknell",  but 
we  were  going  "to  use  our  time  in  an 
endeavor  to  render  a  broader  service 
to  all  American  youth  at  one  of  the 
most  crucial  moments  in  the  history  of  * 
our  Republic". 

President  Marts  said  that  he  is  not 
surprised  that  the  youth  of  today  are 
saying,  "We  are  all  mixed  up",  for 
those  of  college  age  "hnd  themselves 
living  in  a  world  almost  the  exact  op- 
posite from  the  world  which  they  had 
been  taught  all  their  short  lives  to  ex- 
pect". Therefore,  "our  youth  need 
counsel  at  this  bewildering  time  — 
they  need  it  and  they  seek  it". 

BucknelPs  president  then  introduced 
the  first  speaker,  Admiral  Harold  R. 
Stark,  Chief  of  the  United  States 
Naval  Operations,  who  spoke  from 
Washington,  D.  C,  where  the  Wash- 
ington Alumni  Club  acted  as  his  host. 
President  Marts  said,  "He  is  a  warm 
friend  of  Bucknell  .  .  .  He  is  a  warm- 
hearted friend  of  all  youth.  America  is 
fortunate  in  having  at  the  head  of  our 
Navy  an  officer  who  is  not  only  a 
genius  of  naval  strategy,  but  who  also 
understands  the  human  qualities  of  the 
men  and  boys  who  man  our  great  naval 
machine,  and  who  knows  that  their 
courage  and  spirit  are  the  real,  power 
of  the  great  American  Navy". 

The  following  is  a  summary  of  the 
radio  address  given  by  Admiral  Stark 
upon   the   occasion   of  the   celebration 


of  the  Ninety-Fifth  Anniversary  of 
Bucknell  University: 

"I  have  spent  most  of  my  life  at 
sea,  working  with  young  men  drawn 
from  the  length  and  breadth  of  our 
land.  For  these  young  men  the  Navy 
demands  the  best  in  materiel,  that  sci- 
ence, research,  and  mechanical  inge- 
nuity can  devise;  but  the  Navy  realizes 
that  even  more  important  than  ma- 
teriel, is  the  character  of  the  youth 
who  make  up  its  fighting  strength, 
where  discipline,  cheerful  obedience, 
intelligence,  sound  bodies  and  whole- 
some minds  are  essential  to  the  indi- 
vidual and  to  the  team  play  required. 

"Recent  history  gives  merciless 
proof  that  any  country  which  makes 
ready  ONLY  for  material  defense  is 
preparing  itself  for  defeat.  Hope  of 
security  also  demands  the  upbuilding 
of  national  character  into  more  heroic 
stature. 

"We  talk  much  of  our  material  pro- 
duction, of  bottle-necks,  strikes,  etc., 
—  We  have  need  also  to  check  up  on 
our  spiritual  progress  —  our  National 
character. 

"The  character  of  our  youth  is  the 
bed  rock  upon  which  the  Country 
must  build  for  the  future.  It  will  al- 
ways constitute  our  first  great  line  of 
defense. 

"Youth  is  a  time  for  ideals  and  if 
these  ideals  are  to  endure  they  must 
be  sound,  must  inspire  faith  and  alle- 
giance, must  command  loyalty.  If  they

Phi  Beta  Kappa  is 
Installed  at 
Bucknell 


ANOTHER  milestone  in  the  history  of  Bucknell  Uni- 
versity was  laid  when  a  chapter  of  Phi  Beta  Kappa, 
nationally  famous  scholastic  society,  was  formally 
established  on  November  7.  Seventeen  notable  Bucknel- 
lians  —  nine  alumni,  six  faculty  members,  one  undergrad- 
uate, and  one  trustee  —  were  initiated  into  the  newly  es- 
tablished chapter. 

The  formal  presentation  of  the  Charter  and  the  colorful 
installation  service  were  preceded  by  several  events.  In  the 
morning  at  11:00  o'clock,  a  special  chapel  service  was  held 
in  the  Davis  Gymnasium.  During  this  part  of  the  day's 
proceedings,  Miss  Marjorie  Nicolson,  president  of  the  Uni- 
ted Chapters  of  Phi  Beta  Kappa,  spoke  in  an  interesting 
manner  on  the  topic,  "Light,  Liberty,  and  Learning"  — 
the  three  so-called  objectives  of  those  who  are  interested  in 
furthering  scholasticism  in  the  world  of  today. 

Over  300  invited  guests  —  the  officers  of  the  fraternity, 
the  delegates  from  the  various  chapters  and  alumni  asso- 
ciations of  Phi  Beta  Kappa,  trustees,  faculty  members,  and 
special  friends  of  Bucknell  —  were  entertained  at  a  tea 
in  the  afternoon  and  a  formal  dinner  in  the  evening.  Dr. 
William  A.  Shimer,  dean  of  the  faculty  at  Bucknell  and 
national  secretary  of  the  United  Chapters  of  Phi  Beta 
Kappa,  served  as  toastmaster  during  the  dinner,  while  Miss 
Nicolson  and  Dr.  Arnaud  C.  Marts  were  the  principal 
speakers. 

The  events  of  the  whole  day  were  most  fittingly  brought 
to  a  climax  in  a  colorful  ceremony  in  Davis  Gymnasium 
on  the  evening  of  November  7.  Miss  Marjorie  H.  Nicolson, 
president  of  the  United  Chapters  of  Phi  Beta  Kappa  for 
this  triennial  year,  formally  presented  the  Charter  to  the 
Mu  Chapter  at  Bucknell  University,  and  Dr.  Frank  P. 
Graves,  former  president  of  the  University  of  the  State  of 
New  York  and  a  former  president  of  the  United  Chapters 
of  Phi  Beta  Kappa,  made  the  principal  address  at  the  in- 
stallation service.  Dr.  Graves  chose  as  the  topic  of  his  ad- 
dress, "A  Fossil  from  the  Tertiary". 

With  fitting  ceremony,  Phi  Beta  Kappa  keys  were  pre- 
sented by  Dr.  Arnaud  C.  Marts,  Chapter  and  University 
president,  to  the  seventeen  charter  members  who  represent 

Chapter  Installation    Ceremonies 


Miss  Nicholson  and  Dr.  Graves  at  Phi  Beta  Kappa  Installatior 

classes  from  1897  to  the  present  year,  1941.  Raymond  P. 
Underwood  of  Mount  Holly,  New  Jersey,  president  of  the 
Bucknell  student  body,  was  the  only  undergraduate  to  re- 
ceive Phi  Beta  Kappa  honors.  Six  Bucknell  faculty  mem- 
bers, Dr.  R.  H.  Rivenburg,  dean  and  vice-president  of  the 
University;  Dr.  Floyd  G.  Ballentine,  professor  of  Latin; 
Prof.  Frank  M.  Simpson,  professor  of  physics;  Dr.  W.  H. 
Coleman,  professor  of  English;  Dr.  N.  H.  Stewart,  pro- 
fessor of  zoology;  and  Dr.  G.  B.  Lawson,  professor  emeritus 
of  philosophy  received  Phi  Beta  Kappa  keys.  In  addition  to 
the  three  faculty  members  who  are  Bucknell  Alumni,  nine 
other  Bucknellians  were  selected  on  the  basis  of  high  scho- 
lastic attainments  while  in  school  and  unusual  achievements 
since  leaving  college  to  be  members  of  Mu  Chapter.  These 
alumni  are:  Dr.  Frank  Anderson,  Des  Moines,  Iowa,  execu- 
tive secretary  of  the  Iowa  Baptist  convention;  Mrs.  Edwin 
J.  Armstrong,  Yellow  Springs,  Ohio,  noted  educator;  Roy 
G.  Bostwick,  Pittsburgh,  Pennsylvania,  lawyer;  Dr.  Harold 
N.  Cole,  Cleveland,  Ohio,  physician  and  specialist;  Dr. 
Charles  C.  Fries,  Ann  Arbor,  Michigan,  professor  at  Uni- 
versity of  Michigan;  Reese  Harris,  Scranton,  Pennsylvania, 
lawyer  and  son  of  the  late  John  Howard  Harris;  Mrs.  Wil- 
liam I.  Mahaffey,  Pittsburgh,  Pennsylvania,  prominent  con- 
tralto and  daughter  of  the  late  Emory  W.  Hunt;  Mrs. 
L.  L.  Rockwell,  Hamilton,  N.  Y.,  author  of  children's 
books;  and  Miss  Sue  Weddell,  New  York,  executive  sec- 
retary of  the  Women's  Board  of  Foreign  Missions  for  the 
Reformed  Church. 

A  Bucknell  trustee,  Alfred  C.  Howell,  vice-president  of 
the  Guaranty  Trust  Company  of  New  York,  is  the  only 
one  of  the  seventeen  persons  elected  to  membership  in  Phi 
Beta  Kappa  who  did  not  attend  college.  When  speaking  of 
him,  President  Marts  declared  that  the  noted  banker  "is  a 
better  educated  man  by  his  own  efforts  than  are  many 
graduates  of  colleges  and  universities". 

Bucknell  is  indeed  proud  that  it  is  one  of  141  colleges 
throughout  the  country  which  has  a  Phi  Beta  Kappa  Chap- 
ter to  which  its  outstanding  alumni  and  undergraduates 
may  belong.

The  Bison  Club  Becomes 
An  Important  Alumni 
Organization 


By  G.  Grant  Painter,  '17 
Secretary,  Bison  Club 


The  Bison  Club  was  organized  ap- 
proximately a  year  ago  with  objects 
as  set  forth  in  the  proposed  Constitu- 
tion and  By-Laws  as  follows:  "to 
stimulate  interest  in  intercollegiate 
athletics  at  Bucknell  University  and 
to  increase  the  prestige  of  its  teams 
and  improve  their  relations  with  the 
teams  of  other  educational  institu- 
tions; to  aid  in  developing  the  char- 
acter and  skill  of  the  teams  and  their 
members  representing  Bucknell;  to 
foster  and  maintain  athletic  traditions 
at  Bucknell;  to  secure  for  the  alumni 
of  Bucknell  adequate  representation 
on  the  councils  that  guide  and  direct 
the  athletic  policy  at  Bucknell;  and 
to  provide  an  opportunity  for  the 
alumni  to  unify  their  support  of  ath- 
letics  at  Bucknell." 

Since  its  founding,  the  Bison  Club 
has  made  unusual  progress.  The  first 
meeting  of  the  Club  was  held  last 
spring  at  commencement  time.  This 
meeting  was  followed  by  a  meeting 
of  the  Club  at  Philadelphia  when  its 
members  and  the  members  of  the 
Athletic  Council,  together  with  the 
Trustees  and  alumni,  were  the  guests 
of  Mr.  Kress  at  the  Hotel  Wellington 
on  December  19,  1940.  Pictures  of 
this  meeting  are  shown  on  the  oppo- 
site page.  During  the  week-end  of 
March  22,  Mr.  Kress  again  entertained 
members  of  the  Athletic  Council, 
Bison  Club  officers  and  members,  and 
alumni  at  his  home,  "Rockhill",  Os- 
sining,  New  York,  at  which  time  the 
Athletic  Council  was  completely  re- 
organized and  a  new  Constitution  and 
By-Laws  were  adopted.  At  this  meet- 
ing Mr.  Kress  resigned  as  president  of 
the     Athletic     Council,     and     A.     R. 


Mathieson,  '20,  was  elected  to  succeed 
him.  Mr.  Kress  has  been  elected  presi- 
dent of  the  Bison  Club  to  succeed  the 
late  Boyd  L.  Newcomb,  '18,  whose 
untimely  death  has  been  mourned  by 
his  many  friends. 

The  first  activity  of  the  Bison  Club 
has  been  to  help  eliminate  the  debt  of 
the  Athletic  Council  which  amounts  to 
approximately  $5  0,000.  The  member- 
ship of  the  Bison  Club  has  already 
received  pledges  amounting  to  $40,- 
02  5.66.  Mr.  Kress  is  now  planning  to 
complete  this  activity  of  the  Club  by 
developing  a  new  program  to  raise  the 
balance  of  the  indebtedness.  This  is  to 
be  done  by  increasing  the  membership 
of  the  Bison  Club,  and  all  Bucknel- 
lians  who  are  interested  in  the  im- 
provement of  athletics  at  Bucknell, 
as  well  as  the  advancement  of  the  Uni- 
versity by  the  reduction  of  its  indebt- 
edness, are  urged  to  join. 

Women  are  taking  an  active  interest 
in  the  Bison  Club.  Several  alumnae  are 
wearing  the  Bison  Club  insignia.  Miss 
Emma  E.  Dillon,  '15,  prominent  Tren- 
ton lawyer  and  a  member  of  the  New 
Jersey  Bar  Association,  had  the  honor 
of  being  the  first  woman  member. 
Miss  Mary  Speece,  '18,  a  teacher  in  the 
Atlantic  City  High  School  and  secre- 
tary of  the  Bucknell  Alumni  Club  in 
that  city;  Dr.  Mary  M.  Wolfe,  '96,  of 
Lewisburg,  a  trustee  of  the  University; 
and  Mrs.  John  S.  Cregar,  nee  Dorothy 
Riker,  '28,  of  Westfield,  N.  J.,  are 
also  members  of  the  Bison  Club.  It  is 
hoped  that  more  Bucknell  alumnae 
will  be  attracted  to  this  organization 
and  become  affiliated  with  it. 

A  Constitution  and  By-Laws  for 
the  Bison  Club  have  been  prepared  by

to  the  Vice-President  of  the  United 
States  Steel  Corporation  of  Pittsburgh, 
is  the  newly  elected  president  of  the 
Athletic  Council.  Mr.  Mathieson  has 
served  Bucknell  in  many  ways  since 
his  graduation  in  1920.  Several  years 
ago  he  was  president  of  the  Bucknell 
Alumni  Club  of  Pittsburgh.  Last 
spring  he  was  re-elected  vice-president

Bucknell  University,  and,  before  the 
Athletic  Council  meeting  on  March 
22  at  "Rockhill",  Ossining,  New  York, 
Mr.  Mathieson  was  also  vice-president 
of  the  Athletic  Council.  As  president 
of  the  Council,  Mr.  Mathieson  will  be 
in  a  position  to  offer  further  service 
to  his  Alma  Mater.

Hawkins  is  chairman.  These  will  be 
submitted  for  adoption  at  the  meeting 
of  the  Bison  Club  to  be  held  on  Alum- 
ni Day,  Saturday,  June  7,  at  the  Hotel 
Lewisburger.  One  of  the  important 
matters  at  the  June  meeting  of  the 
Bison  Club  will  be  the  nomination  of 
six  members  to  the  Athletic  Council 
as  provided  in  the  new  Constitution 
'  and  By-Laws  of  the  Athletic  Council. 


A  breakfast  meeting  of  the 
Bison  Club  will  be  held  on  Sat- 
urday, June  7,  at  the  Hotel 
Lewisburger,  8:30  a.m. 


Mortar  Board  Installed 
at  Bucknell 


Another  significant  step  in  scholastic  achievement  at 
Bucknell  was  the  installation  of  a  chapter  of  Mortar  Board, 
national  women's  honorary  society,  on  February   16,  1941. 

All  the  present  members  of  C.  E.  A.,  the  local  honorary 
society  for  women,  were  initiated  into  the  new  chapter. 
These  members  include  eight  seniors:  Frances  Gilson,  pres- 
ident of  C.  E.  A.;  Louise  Brosius,  vice-president;  Virginia 
Engle,  secretary;  Jean  Hechler,  treasurer;  Margaret  Sym- 
ington, Dorothy  Outman,  Janet  Cristadora,  and  Dorothy 
Derr;  and  eight  former  members  of  the  local  group:  Mary 
Hanning  Zanarini,  '3  8,  Ruth  Leppart,  '40,  Bernice  Henry, 
'39,  Katherine  Webb,  '40,  Hazel  Jackson,  '37,  Mildred 
Wily  Cowperthwaite,  '36,  Elizabeth  Ann  Wray,  '37,  and 
Irene  Piszczek,  '37. 

Mrs.  Coleman  of  Lincoln,  Nebraska,  national  president 
of  the  society,  Miss  Myra  Hall  of  Washington,  sectional 
director,  Miss  Wohlfled  of  Philadelphia,  and  Mrs.  Arnaud 
C.  Marts,  who  was  made  an  honorary  member  of  the  Buck- 
nell chapter,  were  present  at  the  Mortar  Board  service, 
tea,  banquet,  and  initiation  ceremonies.  Bucknell  Univer- 
sity is  the  seventy-third  college  to  have  a  Mortar  Board 
chapter.

Physics  Department  Moves 
Into  New  Laboratories 


With  the  completion  of  the  Engineering  Building,  the 
Electrical  Engineering  Department  vacated  its  old  quarters 
in  the  south  end  of  the  basement  of  East  College,  leaving 
that  space  available  for  the  Physics  Department. 

Under  the  able  direction  of  Professor  Burpee,  the  plans 
proposed  by  Professor  W.  N.  Lowry  were  carried  out  to 
make  this  room  a  modern  laboratory  for  the  experimental 
work  in  first-year  physics.  Professor  Burpee  is  to  be  con- 
gratulated on  the  excellent  result  he  has  achieved,  which 
was  made  possible  through  the  effective  interest  of  Presi- 
dent Marts,  who  obtained  a  special  appropriation  to  finance 
the  work. 

Wooden  desks  were  built  on  both  sides  of  the  big, 
south  room,  affording  work  surfaces  on  top  with  apparatus 
storage  space  below.  New  service  lines  with  A.  C,  D.  C, 
air,  gas,  water,  and  drains  were  installed  around  the  walls, 
and  the  lighting  system  renovated.  The  old  iron  columns 
were  enclosed  with  wooden  paneling  and  have  proven  dis- 
tinct aids  for  mounting  equipment. 

The  shop  was  moved  to  the  northwest  corner  of  the 
building  and  the  old  apparatus  room  has  been  enlarged  with 
cupboards,  drawers,  and  shelves  built  in  to-  take  care  of 
equipment,  and  a  counter,  provided  with  a  large  dispensing 
window. 

The  class  room  was  enlarged  and  different  seats  were 
installed;  more  blackboard  space  was  made  available. 

The  steps  leading  to  the  dormitories  on  the  floors  above 
were  torn  out,  and  a  small  room  built,  which  provides  a 
place  for  some  advanced  work,  as  well  as  a  power  switch 
board  for  general  distribution  purposes  and  a  motor  gene- 
rator set. 

New   plaster  where   needed,   modern  heating  units,   and . 
paint  added  the  final   touches,   together  with  a   fine   con- 
crete entrance  on  the  south  end  of  the  building. 

The  photograph  shows  a  portion  of  the  former  E.  E. 
laboratory  now  known  as  "Room  P".  In  the  foreground 
on  a  table  is  shown  one  of  the  five  magnetometers  given 
to  the  Physics  Department  by  a  prominent  Chicago  alum- 
nus, Major  A.  Langsner,  who  has  made  several  contribu- 
tions of  equipment  to  the  Physics  Department. 

At  present  plans  are  being  proposed  to  complete  the 
operation  by  remodeling  the  old  rooms  on  the  north  end 
of  the  building.  When  this  is  achieved,  the  Physics  De- 
partment can  well  be  proud  of  its  improved  quarters. 


A  MESSAGE  TO  THE  ALUMNI 

By  E.  A.  Snyder,  '11, 

President,  General  Alumni  Association 


We  are  on  the  home  stretch  of 
Bucknell's  ninety-fifth  scholastic  year. 
Commencement  week  is  just  around 
the  corner  at  which  time  we  will  add 
several  hundred  more  alumni  to  our 
rolls.  Each  year  our  General  Alumni 
Association  is  growing  larger  and  more 
active  in  the  affairs  of  our  University. 
This  past  year  has  been  one  of  our 
most  active  alumni  periods.  Thirty- 
seven  local  alumni  clubs  have  held 
regular  and  frequent  meetings  from 
which  have  come  inspiration  and  tan- 
gible and  effective  aid  for  Alma  Mater. 
If  we  select  some  of  the  high  lights 
of  the  past  year's  alumni  activities,  we 
might  point  to  the  reorganization  and 
revitalization  of  our  Athletic  Council 
and  to  the  loyal  aid  of  those  alumni 
whose  cooperation  has  enabled  us  to 
wipe  out  a  large  part  of  the  enormous 
debt  that  for  years  has  been  handi- 
capping the  work  of  the  Council. 
Complete  liquidation  of  this  debt  is 
now  practically  assured.  A  Bison  Club 
of  alumni  and  friends  has  been  formed 
by  means  of  which  we  hope  to  solve 
many  of  our  past  athletic  problems. 
Aid  to  our  University  in  the  form  of 
needed  equipment  and  monetary  gifts 
has  come  from  many  of  the  alumni. 
All  of  these  and  other  accomplish- 
ments have  been  greatly  aided  by  the 
enthusiastic  activity  of  the  various 
local  clubs.  The  strength  of  our  Gen- 
eral Alumni  Association  is  almost  en- 
tirely dependent  on  the  strength  of 
these  local  clubs.  To  help  them  in  their 
organization  and  work,  an  Alumni 
Club  Officer's  Handbook  was  prepared 
this  year  by  our  secretary,  Mr.  Francis 
Lybarger,  Jr.,  and  copies  were  sent 
to  all  clubs. 

For  some  years  we  have  realized  that 
the  By-Laws  of  our  General  Alumni 
Association  are  out-moded.  Developed 
for  a  centralized  and  complex  organi- 
zation, these  By-Laws  fail  to  serve  our 
present  decentralized  activities  which 
are  producing  stronger  and  more  ac- 
tive local  clubs  with  greater  benefit 
to  Bucknell.  In  an  effort  to  bring  the 
By-Laws  in  line  with  our  present  con- 


ception of  most  effective  alumni  asso- 
ciation service,  a  committee  under  the 
chairmanship  of  Mr.  O.  V.  W.  Haw- 
kins was  appointed  to  prepare  a  sug- 
gested revision  of  them.  Elsewhere  in 
this  issue  you  will  find  this  proposed 
revision  with  an  introduction  explain- 
ing the  plan  of  organization.  If  you 
have  any  criticisms,  comments,  or  sug- 
gestions concerning  the  plan  of  the 
By-Laws,  please  mail  them  to  Mr. 
Hawkins  or  one  of  the  officers  of  the 
Association  before  May  10,  so  your 
committee  will  have  time  to  consider 
them  before  the  annual  meeting  in 
June  when  the  revised  By-Laws  will 
be  presented  for  adoption. 

May  I  also  call  attention  to  the 
ballot  for  Alumni  Trustee  found  in 
this  issue  of  the  Monthly.  Please  mark 
it  with  your  vote,  tear  it  out,  and  mail 
it  to  the  Alumni  Secretary.  Eight 
alumni  have  been  nominated  for  this 
important  office  and  deserve  your  con- 
sideration. Let  us  secure  a  large  total 
vote  for  this  important  office  and  make 
the  winner  feel  that  we  alumni  ex- 
pect real  service  from  our  representa- 
tive on  the  Board  of  Trustees. 

In  closing  may  I  express  my  sincere 
thanks  to  one  and  all  for  your  loyal 
help  and  support  during  the  past  two 
years.  Let  us  all  keep  pushing  Bucknell 
to  the  top.  The  old  adage  says  "There 
is  always  room  at  the  top",  and  Buck- 
nell must  never  be  crowded.

THE   NEW   PIONEERS.      By   Vera 
Cober  Rockwell,  '11.  Jacket  by  Mar- 
guerite  Rockwell,   '39.    Frontispiece 
by    Carol    Rockwell,    '37.    Boston: 
W.  A.  Wilde  Company,  1940.  $1.5  0. 
This    rapid-moving   story   for   teen- 
age boys  and  girls  recounts  the  experi- 
ences of  Red  Pennbury  and  Curt  Pow- 
ell in  organizing  a  junior  community 
against    sinister   opposition.    As   Junior 
Mayor    Curt    unites     the     youths     of 
Parketown    in    a    successful    organiza- 
tion which  demonstrates  that  the  Jun- 
ior Citizens  are  not  only  worthwhile, 
but  actually  necessary  for  the  best  in- 
terests   of    the    town.    Juvenile    delin- 
quency  is   no   longer  a  problem   when 
every    youngster   has   the   opportunity 
to  become  socially  useful  and  to  work 
profitably   at  interesting   tasks. 

Mrs.  Rockwell  has  dramatized  some 
of  the  ideas  of  Willi:  m  R.  George, 
founder  of  the  George  Junior  Repub- 
lics, whom  she  assisted  in  the  prepara- 
tion of  an  autobiography.  Yet  the 
author's  narrative  skill,  crisp  dialogue, 
and  thrilling  presentation  of  real-life 
incidents  and  problems  make  the  thesis 
implicit  in  the  events;  the  story  never 
lags.  It  will  stimulate  youngsters  and 
oldsters  alike  to  see  more  clearly  the 
proper  place  of  youth  in  community 
life.

BASKETBALL  1940-1941 

The  1940-1941  basketball  season  at  Bucknell  was  quite 
successful.  We  won  ten  and  lost  seven  games  and  finished 
in  a  tie  for  second  place  in  the  Eastern  Pennsylvania  Col- 
legiate League. 

Despite  a  slow  start,  touched  off  by  a  poor  demonstra- 
tion against  our  initial  1940-41  season  foe,  Penn  State,  the 
team  overcame  many  handicaps  and  continued  to  show 
vast  improvements  with  each  succeeding  game.  I  believe 
the  team  presented  its  best  court  game  of  the  campaign 
against  Albright  at  Reading.  The  factors  which  were  re- 
sponsible for  the  excellent  showing  of  the  quintet  in  the 
last  two  months  of  the  season  were,  in  my  estimation,  as 
follows:  (1)  better  backboard  play,  offensive  and  defen- 
sive, (2)  better  timing  of  offensive  plays,  (3)  improved 
defense,  and   (4)    better  team  play. 

Perhaps  the  most  important  reason  for  the  team's  im- 
proved court  work  following  Christmas  is  attributed  to  the 
generosity  of  some  members  of  the  Athletic  Council,  who 
also  made  it  possible  to  take  movies  of  several  of  our  home 
games  the  past  season.  The  movies  proved  a  decided  asset 
in  improving  individual  and  team  play  since  errors  un- 
perceived  through  customary  vision  were  easily  detected 
on  the  screen. 

Three  of  the  1940-41  basketball  squad  members  are 
sons  of  former  Bucknellians.  They  include  Fred  Fahringer, 
Jr.,  son  of  Freddie  Fahringer,  '15,  Janesville,  Wisconsin; 
Ed  Glass,  son  of  C.  E.  (Leo)  Glass,  '16,  Dormont;  and 
George  Haines,  Jr.,  the  team's  leading  scorer,  son  of  Rev. 
George  F.  Haines,  '13,  Clarion.  Other  varsity  courtmen 
are  Raymond  H.  Armor,  Ingram;  Albin  Baker,  Nanticoke; 
Kenneth  Baserman,  Johnstown;  Paul  Burke,  Coatesville; 
Joseph  Buzas,  Alpha,  N.  J.;  W.  J.  Culbertson,  York;  Jack 
Dedrick,  Roselle,  N.  J.;  John  McElhany,  Hershey;  and 
Robert  Nolan,  Trenton,  N.  J. 

Three  men  on  the  squad,  Armor,  Baserman,  and  Haines 
made  the  Dean's  List  in  February,  denoting  high  scholar- 
ship. 


BOXING  1941 

Bucknell's  boxers  did  a  lot  of  hard  punching  this  season, 
enough,  in  fact,  to  bring  them  to  the  end  of  one  of  the 
most  successful  seasons  enjoyed  by  an  Orange  and  Blue 
ring  crew. 

The  1941  season  record  read  like  this:  Won  two,  tied 
two,  and  lost  two. 

Despite  the  appearance  of  only  one  veteran  when  the  call 
was  issued  for  "leather-pushing"  candidates,  an  anxious 
group  of  novices  volunteered  to  do  all  they  could  to  win 
varsity  berths  with  the  Bucknell  battlers.  From  the  latter 
group  emerged  Frank  Garro  of  Philadelphia  who  com- 
pleted the  season  undefeated,  and  Marv  Gerla  of  Brooklyn, 
N.  Y.,  the  Bison's  new  "knockout"  king,  who  chalked  up 
five  technical  knockouts  during  the  campaign.  Garro  and 
Gerla  are  products  of  Bucknell's  intramural  boxing  tour- 
nament. Garro  entered  the  National  Collegiate  tournament 
at  Penn  State  in  March  and  lost  in  the  first  round  of  the 
matches. 

George  Boner  of  Gilberton,  veteran  Bucknell  heavy- 
weight, conquered  all  opponents  besides  annexing  two  deci- 
sions via  the  forfeit  route.  Boner  was  lost  to  the  squad  late 
in  the  season  when  circumstances  forced  him  to  leave 
school  for  the  second  semester.  With  one  remaining  dual-

weight chores  and  turned  in  a  victory. 

A  search  for  a  permanent  pugilist  for  the  175 -lb.  slot 
commenced  with  Marty  Neff  of  Red  Lion,  Pa.,  switched  to 
Walter  Wenrick  of  Royersford  and  Steve  Sokol  of  Johns- 
town, N.  Y.,  and  ended  with  Joe  Buzas,  all-around  athlete, 
handling  the  reins. 

Robert  Northrup  of  Canton  started  the  season  in  the 
127-lb.  class.  Captain  Art  Kleindienst  of  Maplewood,  N.  J., 
who  had  been  ill,  took  over  the  127-lb.  slot  upon  re- 
covery and  finished   the  campaign  with  two  victories. 

Norman  Emmert  of  Norristown  started  the  swinging 
for  the  Bisons  in  the  1 3  5  -lb.  berth  and  Earl  Grose  of  Beck- 
ley,  W.  Va.,  completed  the  assignment.  Emil  Kordish  of 
Winfield,  L.  I.,  N.  Y.,  facing  stiff  opposition  all  season, 
performed  yoeman  work  in  the  15  5  -lb.  division.

SPRING  SPORTS  1941 

A  stiff  14-  game  schedule,  a  half-dozen  veterans,  and 
an  equal  number  of  promising  freshman  and  sophomore 
ball  players  —  that's  the  baseball  picture  at  Bucknell  for 
1941. 

Coach  John  Sitarsky  must  bolster  his  pitching  staff  and 
find  replacements  for  '40  regulars  Captain  Jack  Kessler, 
first  sacker;  George  Kiick,  dependable  backstop;  Joe  Buzas, 
shortstop  and  pitcher,  who  has  joined  the  Norfolk  Club 
of  the  New  York  Yankees;  and  Gil  Hickie  and  Bill  Allen, 
outfielders. 

Among  the  Bison  veterans  who  will  form  the  nucleus 
for  the  '41  Bucknell  nine  are:  Harry  Reynolds,  Mt.  Ver- 
non, N.  Y.;  Willard  Ronk,  West  Chester;  Bob  Nolan, 
Trenton,  N.  J.;  John  Bachman,  Stroudsburg;  Stan  Bear, 
Newville;  Fay  Billings,  New  Hartford,  N.  Y.;  Harry 
Doenges,  Philadelphia;  and  Dean  Kearsh,  Hollis,  N.  Y.

form  a  varsity  crew  from  the  "cream  of  the  crop". 

The  situation  in  1941,  although  not  too  bright,  is  never- 
theless encouraging,  as  six  dual  meets  await  the  track  and 
field  aspirants.  Bucknell  will  also  enter  a  relay  team  at  the

do  this,  then  the  running  start  which 
youth  gets  in  its  teens  and  early  twen- 
ties will  serve  as  a  firm  foundation 
which  will  guide  them  aright  in  the 
confused  issues  of  the  present  day,  and 
the  tougher  days  ahead. 

"The  world  is  not  secure  any  more, 
in  anything.  Social  revolution,  and  in- 
dustrial revolution,  and  new  idealogies 
have  precipitated  vast  social  and  mili- 
tary convulsions  and  are  now  tearing 
the  old  world  to  pieces,  and  threaten- 
ing the  democratic  institutions  of  the 
Western  Hemisphere. 

"In  our  own  Country,  we  face  great 
uncertainties,  and  more  disturbing  dan- 
gers, than  ever  confronted  our  fathers. 
The  events  in  Europe  and  Asia  and 
Africa,  and  the  measures  for  security 
which  we  in  our  Republic  are  now 
taking,  will  affect,  in  one  way  or  an- 
other, the  life  of  every  person  alive 
today  in  this  Country. 

"No  one  can  tell  just  what  the  fu- 
ture holds.  But  it  must  be  plain  to  all 


of  us  that  in  these  times,  and  in  more 
critical  times  to  come,  every  American 
must  be  prepared  to  sacrifice  for  the 
common  good. 

"Some  undoubtedly  will  have  the 
privilege  and  the  honor  of  serving  our 
Country  in  arms.  All,  in  whatever 
work  engaged,  will  find  a  large  pro- 
portion of  their  energies  diverted,  di- 
rectly or  indirectly,  to  National,  rather 
than  to  individual  needs.  All  must 
hold  themselves  ready  to  meet  this 
changed  life  with  courage,  and  to  give 
the  best  that  is  in  them  for  our  Coun- 
try and  all  that  we  hold  dear. 

"In  times  like  these,  people  want 
something  to  hold  to,  something  that 
stands  firm  in  a  changing  world.  And, 
therefore,  I  am  going  to  ask  you  to 
think  about  character;  to  think  about 
the  age  old  fundamental  human  vir- 
tues of  courage,  loyalty,  perseverance, 
generosity,  sacrifice,  initiative,  enthus- 
iasm, the  Golden  Rule,  common  sense, 
and  hard  work.  These  are  the  ele- 
mental things  that  make  character. 
They  were  good  when  man  did  his 
fighting  with  bows  and  arrows.  They 
are  good  now,  in  the  vast  complexity 
of  modern  life. 

"We  live  in  the  machine  age  but 
if  all  the  power  plants  go  out,  and  all 
the  gadgets  cease  to  function,  we  will 
still  be  men  and  women,  and  it  is  char- 
acter upon  which  we  will  stand  or  fall. 

"If  we  are  to  expect  much  of  youth 
we  must  give  them  much  in  their  early 
training.  The  all  encompassing  great 
essential  is  character  and  if  our  youth 
have  that,  and  love  of  Country,  they 
will  give  what  America  expects,  that 
is,  continuance  and  security  of  those 
things  which  have  made  us  great  as  a 
nation,  and  which,  if  guarded,  will 
make  us  greater  —  and  preserve  our 
way  of  live. 

"Our  way  of  life  is  not  something 
static.  It  is  something  adaptable  to 
changing  conditions  as  time  goes  on. 
But,  its  foundation  of  freedom,  indi- 
vidual initiative,  equal  opportunity, 
freedom  of  speech,  the  Bill  of  Rights, 
the  obligation  of  the  individual,  self- 
discipline,  fair  play,  and  a  square  deal, 
are  as  important  now  as  when  our 
forefathers  fought  and  won  them  for 
us  in  1776. 

"Our  way  of  life  will  continue,  only 
if  our  youth  and  the  oncoming  genera- 
tions believe  in  it.  Therefore,  that  way 
of  life  must  be  the  beacon  light  whose 
path  shines  out  as  so  much  brighter, 
so  much  better  and  richer,  than  any 
other  way,  that  our  youth  will  be  will- 
ing to  give  their  all  to  see  that  it  en- 
dures.

dencies but  their  character  is  some-

Parents  Take  Advantage  of 
Bucknell  's  Prepayment  Plan 

Recognizing  the  need  for  financial 
foresight  by  parents  who  intend  to  give 
their  children  a  college  education, 
Bucknell  University  several  years  ago 
inaugurated  a  unique  Prepayment  Plan 
—  a  Plan  whereby  parents  may  prepare 
years  in  advance  for  the  future  ex- 
pense of  their  sons  and  daughters  by 
making  payments  from  time  to  time 
to  the  Treasurer  of  the  University. 

Since  this  Plan  has  been  in  existence, 
it  has  met  with  the  approval  of  both 
Bucknellians  and  the  general  public. 
Bucknell  has  been  a  pioneer  in  this 
work,  and  her  success  has  led  other 
colleges  to  follow  in  her  footsteps  in 
establishing  similar  plans.  This  new 
approach  to  the  old  problem  of  paying 
for  a  college  education  also  has  been 
adopted  by  many  parents  who  see  in  it 
an  opportunity  to  spread  over  a  longer 
period  of  time  what  would  ordinarily 
be  a  concentrated  four-year  financial 
burden.  One  enthusiastic  Bucknellian 
has  five  accounts,  one  for  each  of  his 
children.  The  deposit  in  each  case  is 
substantial.  Another  account  for  a 
fourth  generation  Bucknellian  has  been 
opened.  Accounts,  in  general,  range 
from  $1.00  to  over  $1,000.00. 

The  way  in  which  the  Prepayment 
Plan  operates  is  a  simple  one.  Parents 
may  enter  their  son  or  daughter  in  the 
Prepayment  Plan  at  any  age.  (Ac- 
counts for  children  only  a  few  months 
of  age  have  been  opened.)  Payments 
of  $1.00  and  up  may  be  made  at  times 
convenient  to  the  prepayor.  The  pre- 
payments are  invested  and  the  net 
earned  interest  is  credited  to  the  ac- 
count annually.  An  account  book  is 
given  to  the  parents  for  the  record  of 
payments  and  a  ledger  account  for  each 
child  is  kept  at  the  University.  When 
the  time  comes  for  the  child  to  enter 
college,  the  usual  entrance  require- 
ments are  in  force.  If  the  prepayor 
cannot  meet  the  requirements  or  does 
not  desire  to  enter  Bucknell,  the  entire 
account,  interest  included,  is  refunded. 

The  Bucknell  Prepayment  Plan,  if 
completely  followed,  will  guarantee 
future  Bucknell  students  a  college  edu- 
cation freed  from  the  usual  financial 
worries.  If  you  or  one  of  your  friends 
desires  further  information  concerning 
this  Plan,  or  if  you  wish  to  open  an 
account,  please  communicate  with  the 
Office  of  the  Treasurer,  Bucknell  Uni- 
versity, Lewisburg,  Pennsylvania.

thing  which  they  make  themselves  as 
they  go  along  —  and  it  is  by  their 
character  that  their  associates  will 
judge  them. 

"If,  in  their  bringing  up,  youth  are 
indulged  in  the  soft  ways  of  life  they 
will  ultimately  fail;  and  the  Nation 
with  them. 

"There  can  be  no  compromise  be- 
tween self-indulgence  and  self-pre- 
servation. 

"The  uncertainty,  the  insecurity  in 
the  world  today,  will  not  appear  so 
disturbing  to  the  present  generation 
as  to  the  older  one  because  youth  of 
the  present  day  are  being  brought  up 
in  its  atmosphere,  and  it  may  be  that 
they  are  fortunate. 

"Their  forefathers  won  the  things 
that  have  made  the  American  way  of 
life,  by  self-denial,  by  hard  work  in 
peace,  and  by  hard  fighting  in  war. 

"If  our  youth  have  the  traits  of 
character  I  have  touched  upon,  and  I 
have  an  abiding  faith  that  they  have — 
they  will  maintain  our  way  of  life  at 
all  costs. 

"They  may  be  proud  that  their  gen- 
eration has  the  opportunity  to  serve  in 
such  a  critical  period  in  the  world's 
history. 

"If  their  actions  are  directed  by 
courage,  armored  with  hope,  sustained 
by  determination,  enthusiasm,  and  the 
will  to  sacrifice  and  the  will  to  win, 
our  Country  will  have  nothing  to  fear 
from  any  enemy,  within  or  without, 
and  they  will  justify  their  lives  and 
their  heritage,  and  will  carry  forward. 

"In  the  successful  accomplishment  of 
difficult  tasks  youth  will  also  gain  the 
greatest  of  all  treasures,  —  that  inner 

12 


reward  that  comes  only  from  difficult 
tasks— 'WELL  DONE.'  " 

The  program  then  returned  to  New 
York  where  President  Marts  introduced 
the  second  speaker,  Mrs.  J.  Borden 
Harriman,  United  States  Minister  to 
Norway,  by  saying  that  she  "is  a 
charming  lady  who  has  the  rare  dis- 
tinction of  being  one  of  only  two  wo- 
men ever  appointed  to  the  high  diplo- 
matic post  of  American  Minister." 

Continuing  he  said,  "All  Americans 
are  proud  of  the  courage  and  high 
sense  of  duty  which  she  displayed  when 
the  Nazi  hordes  swept  over  Norway. 
Her  thrilling  experiences  in  that  na- 
tion give  special  value  to  her  remarks 
on  this  theme  'What  America  Ex- 
pects of  Its  Youth  Today'.  I  wish  I 
could  claim  Mrs.  Harriman  in  some 
way  as  a  Bucknellian.  But  I  can  claim 
her  as  a  wise  and  warm  friend  of  all 
youth". 

The  following  is  the  speech  which 
Mrs.  J.  Borden  Harriman  gave  over 
the  Mutual  Broadcasting  system  on 
the  evening  of  February  5,  1941: 

"Who  of  us  old  or  young  really 
knows  what  tomorrow  will  be  like? 
But  this,  we  who  are  older  have  come 
to  know  —  there  is  no  future  at  all 
for  those  who  expect  something  for 
nothing.  We  shall  get  what  we  give. 
We  must  make  our  own  luck,  and  win 
our  own  rewards.  We  must  win  our 
own  wars,  and  build  our  own  nation. 
We  must  work  for  our  country  as  we 
have  never  worked  before.  It  seems  to 
me  often  that  we  who  wanted  peace 
did  not  want  it  hard  enough,  not  as

95TH  CHARTER  DAY 

(Continued  from  page  12) 
hard    as    other    people    wanted    other 
things   badly  enough   to   make   a   war 
more  terrible   than   any  in  history   to 
gain  their  ends. 

"I  come  home  to  you  from  the 
North,  from  Norway.  In  Norway, 
Sweden,  Finland,  and  Denmark,  after 
a  long  life  in  many  other  places,  I 
came  to  a  fresh  experience  of  democ- 
racy, in  many  ways  more  social  even 
than  our  own  widespread  and  varied 
republic.  I  lived  among  the  people  who 
believed  in  work  and  in  peace,  who 
kept  their  bodies  young  with  sport  on 
land  and  sea,  who  respected  their  ar- 
tists as  they  did  their  governors,  who 
were  proud  of  how  widely  all  their 
benefits  were  shared.  But  Norway,  in 
the  midst  of  a  war  for  the  domination 
of  Europe  and  of  the  world,  was  not 
able,  for  all  its  friendly  past  and  des- 
perate wish  to  live  at  peace,  to  avoid 
invasion.  It  came  without  warning.  It 
was  an  invasion,  planned  by  an  enemy 
which  knew  Norway  better  in  many 
ways  than  it  knew  itself. 

"I  say  to  my  own  children,  and 
therefore,  I  say  to  all  young  people, — 
study  your  own  country  as  you  have 
never  studied  any  place  or  any  sub- 
ject before.  Keep  to  your  studies  until 
you  are  called  for  some  other  service. 
Study,  not  merely  Latin  and  literature 
and  geography  and  history,  but  study 
them  to  immediate  practical  ends. 
Learn  how  the  people  in  your  imme- 
diate neighborhood  earn  their  living, 
what  their  wages  are,  what  food  those 
wages  buy.  Study  what  will  happen  in 
the  community  when  young  men  go 
away  to  camp.  Find  out  who  must 
take  their  places,  and  how  families 
whose  young  men  are  drafted  can  get 
along  without  their  sons.  For  whoever 
is  called  to  the  colors,  those  who  are 
left  behind  must  carry  on  in  his  be- 
half. We  must  work  for  each  other; 
we  must  cooperate  to  see  that  none  are 
sacrificing  more  than  others.  That 
equality  of  opportunity  and  of  sacri- 
fice is  part  of  your  democracy.  But 
you  must  be  vigilant  and  keep  it  so. 

"Times  are  changing  faster  than  ever 
before.  And  the  world  we  know  has 
never  stood  still,  or  even  gone  back- 
ward, though  sometimes  it  seems  to 
have  done  so.  Keep  your  eyes  open. 
When  you  read  the  newspapers,  turn 
from  the  columns  which  show  the 
trend  of  the  world  and  note  how  they 
are  reflected  in  the  politics  of  your  own 
ward,  and  your  city,  or  even  in  your 
school.  No  one  who  keeps  his  eyes  open

By-Laws  of  Three  Alumni 
Bodies  Revised 


In  the  early  part  of  1938,  a  group 
of  the  members  of  the  Board  of  Trus- 
tees and  alumni,  recognizing  the  ad- 
visability and  necessity  of  greater 
alumni  interest  in  assisting  Dr.  Marts, 
and  particularly  in  relieving  him  of  as 
much  of  the  details  in  connection  with 
his  work  as  they  possibly  could,  started 
a  series  of  meetings  whereby  they  have 
worked  up  the  reorganization  of  the 
several  alumni   bodies. 

It  was  found  that  the  operating 
provisions  for  the  several  bodies  were 
not  functioning  satisfactorily  to  meet 
the  present  day  requirements,  there- 
fore, the  By-Laws  and  Rules  and  Reg- 
ulations of  the  Athletic  Council  were 
carefully  analyzed,  studied,  and 
through  the  efforts  of  Mr.  O.  V.  W. 
Hawkins,  '13,  with  the  assistance  of 
all  of  those  interested,  were  revised, 
and  later  approved  by  the  Board  of 
Trustees  in  their  meeting  of  December 
21,  1940. 

A  committee  of  alumni  under  the 
chairmanship  of  Mr.  O.  V.  W.  Haw- 
kins worked  with  Mr.  E.  A.  Snyder, 
president  of  the  General  Alumni  As- 
sociation, in  revising  the  By-Laws  of 
the  Association.  In  addition  to  Mr. 
Hawkins  the  committee  consisted  of: 

Dr.  Carl  L.  Millward,  '06,  Milton, 
Pa. 

Miss  Emma  E.  Dillon,  '15,  Trenton, 
N.  J. 


Mr.  Miller  A.  Johnson,  '20,  Lewis- 
burg,  Pa. 

Mr.  Preston  Davis,  '28,  Milton,  Pa. 
This  committee  has  done  a  commend- 
able piece  of  work.  The  new  By-Laws 
will  be  proposed  for  adoption  at  the 
June  meeting  of  the  General  Alumni 
Association. 

The  By-Laws  of  the  Bison  Club  were 
also  constructed  and  will  be  submitted 
to  the  meeting  of  the  Bison  Club  at 
Commencement  in  1941  for  their  ap- 
proval. 

Mr.  Boyd  Newcomb  passed  away  on 
March  1,  1941.  As  President  of  the 
Bison  Club,  he  was  one  of  our  capable 
alumni  and  had  been  deeply  interested 
in  fostering  a  greater  spirit  in  the  in- 
terest of  his  Alma  Mater;  his  loss  has 
been  deeply  felt  in  the  alumni  reor- 
ganization work. 

At  a  meeting  of  the  Athletic  Coun- 
cil and  representatives  of  the  Bison 
Club,  and  other  alumni,  in  New  York 
on  March  22,  1941,  Mr.  Andrew  R. 
Mathieson  was  elected  president  of  the 
Athletic  Council,  while  Mr.  Rush  H. 
Kress  was  elected  president  of  the  Bison 
Club  to  succeed  Mr.  Boyd  Newcomb; 
Mr.  W.  C.  Lowther  was  elected  vice- 
president. 

The  By-Laws  of  the  Athletic  Coun- 
cil and   the   Alumni  Association  were 


built  to  fit  in  with  the  By-Laws  of 
the  Bison  Club  so  that  there  would  be 
no  interference  of  any  one  with  the 
other  two  of  these  three  important 
Bucknell  alumni  bodies. 

The  reorganization  plans  were  care- 
fully worked  up  for  these  three  im- 
portant alumni  bodies  to  build  up  a 
strong,  virile  administration  set-up  of 
officers,  and  committees  to  make  possi- 
ble the  definite  consummation  of  well 
thought  out  efforts. 

The  New  York  Bucknell  Metro- 
politan Club,  from  the  dues  collected 
and  contributions  received  during 
1940,  made  a  contribution  of  $100.00 
to  the  Bucknell  Alumni  Office  for  its 
current  operation  expense  and  the  is- 
suing of  the  Alumni  Monthly;  at  a  re- 
cent meeting  the  New  York  Alumni 
Club  again  concluded  to  contribute, 
for  the  same  purpose,  from  the  New 
York  Alumni  Club  fund  during  the 
year  1941,  the  sum  of  $1,000.00.  This 
was  made  possible  through  the  gen- 
erous donation  of  a  loyal  member  of 
the  club. 

The  New  York  Metropolitan  Buck- 
nell Alumni  Club  will  hold  its  final 
spring  meeting  on  May  17,  1941,  at 
Rockhill,  Ossining,  New  York,  to

Dr.  Battel ,  '72 

1872 

Dr.  William  C.  Bartol,  professor 
emeritus  of  mathematics  and  astron- 
omy and  historian  of  Bucknell,  died 
at  the  Geisinger  Hospital  at  Danville 
on  October  31,  1940.  Dr.  Bartol  had 
been  affiliated  with  Bucknell  Univer- 
sity for  approximately  seventy-five 
years,  a  record  which  has  been  equaled 
by  no  other  individual  during  the  en- 
tire history  of  Bucknell. 

Dr.  Bartol  was  born  at  Huntingdon, 
November  24,  1847.  He  entered  the 
University  with  the  class  of  '71;  but, 
because  circumstances  made  it  neces- 
sary for  him  to  drop  out  of  college 
for  a  semester,  he  did  not  graduate 
until  1872.  During  his  undergraduate 
days  Dr.  Bartol  was  a  high  ranking 
student.  He  had  many  interests  other 
than  books,  however.  He  was  very 
active  in  college  literary,  journalistic, 
and  athletic  circles.  He  played  on  the 
college  baseball  team  and  was  captain 
for  a  while.  This  team  set  a  record 
which  no  Bucknell  team  has  equaled. 
During  a  period  of  four  years  it  lost 
only  one  game.  Dr.  Bartol  was  also 
a  member  of  Phi  Kappa  Psi,  Phi  Mu 
Alpha  of  Sinfonia,  Pi  Mu  Epsilon,  the 
American  Mathematie  Society,  and  the 
Mathematical  Association. 

After  Dr.  Bartol  was  graduated 
from  Bucknell,  he  taught  school  in 
Centre  Hall  and  in  Lime  Rock,  Con- 
necticut; Union  Grove,  Wisconsin;  and 
Mansfield,  Pennsylvania.  While  in 
Mansfield,  he  was  elected  head  of  the 
mathematics  department  of  the  state 
normal  school  there.  This  position  he 
held  until  he  was  made  head  of  the 
mathematics  department  at  Bucknell 
in  1881. 

As  a  professor  at  Bucknell  Univer- 
sity, Dr.  Bartol  not  only  very  capably 
carried  out  his  duties  as  head  of  the 
mathematics  department,  but  he  also 
served  as  head  of  the  engineering  de- 
partment which  was  built  up  during 
the  administration  of  John  Howard 
Harris.  He  also  developed  courses  in 
astronomy  and  was  director  of  the 
observatory.  Likewise,  he  was  instru- 
mental in  building  the  chemical  labora- 
tory, east  wing  of  Taylor  Hall,  and  the 
annex  of  the  central  unit  of  the  Wo- 
men's College. 

After  teaching  at  Bucknell  for  forty- 
six  years,  Dr.  Bartol  retired  as  pro- 


fessor emeritus.  He  did  not  cease 
serving  Bucknell,  however.  He  con- 
tinued his  duties  as  historian,  and  just 
a  short  time  before  his  death  he  was 
engaged  in  discovering  valuable  facts 
for  the  College  Centennial  in  1946. 
When  President  Marts  heard  of  his 
death,  he  said,  "Dr.  Bartol  was  a  living 
symbol  of  the  fine  ideals  for  which 
Bucknell  has  always  stood.  His  death 
will  remove  a  precious  element  from 
our  campus  life  which  no  one  can  ever 
replace". 

1879 

One  of  Bucknell's  oldest  alumnae, 
Mrs.  Clara  Hunter,  the  former  Clara 
A.  Emerick,  died  at  her  home  at  Hav- 
erford.  Mrs.  Hunter,  a  graduate  of 
the  Bucknell  Institute,  was  eighty 
years  of  age  and  was  the  widow  of  the 
late  Reverend  Wilmot  J.  Hunter,  form- 
er pastor  of  the  Quakertown  Baptist 
Church. 

1885 

Dr.  Joseph  Evans  Sagebeer,  lawyer 
and    minister,   died    on    December    19, 

1940,  at  his  home  in  Berw'yn,  Penn- 
sylvania. Dr.  Sagebeer  received  both 
an  A.B.  degree  and  an  A.M.  degree 
from  Bucknell  University,  he  studied 
at  the  Crozer  Theological  Seminary, 
and  received  his  Ph.D.  degree  from 
the  University  of  Pennsylvania.  In 
1888,  he  was  ordained  to  the  ministry 
at  the  First  Baptist  Church  in  Phila- 
delphia, where  he  was  made  assistant 
pastor.  After  serving  various  pastor- 
ates in  and  around  Philadelphia,  he  be- 
came pastor  of  the  Great  Valley  Bap- 
tist Church  where  he  remained  until 
1926.  In  1905,  he  was  admitted  to  the 
bar  and  from  that  time  on  he  prac- 
ticed law  in  Baptist  denominal  work. 

1892 

Bucknell  University  lost  another 
prominent  alumnus  when  Dr.  Elton 
S.  Corson,  a  medical  doctor  in  Bridge- 
ton,  New  Jersey,  died  at  the  Philadel- 
phia   Naval    Hospital    on    January    5, 

1941.  Dr.  Corson  was  a  graduate  of  the 
old  South  Jersey  Institute,  Bucknell 
University,  and  the  Medical  School  of 
the  University  of  Pennsylvania.  He 
was  for  many  years  a  medical  mis- 
sionary in  Burma.  When  the  United 
States  entered  the  World  War,  Dr. 
Corson  enlisted  in  the  Officers'  Medical 
Reserve  Corps  with  the  rank  of  lieu- 
tenant. He  was  one  of  the  recipients 
of  the  annual  award  made  by  the 
Shoemaker  Post  of  the  American  Le- 
gion which  was  awarded  him  "for  his 
charitable  work  in  connection  with  his 
profession  during  a  time  of  economic 
stress  for  many  people".  During  the 
past  thirty  years  he  was  connected 
with  the  Bridgeton  Hospital  where  he 
was  director  of  the  medical  staff  and 
a  practicing  physician.  Dr.  Corson  has 
been  acclaimed  as  "a  good  soldier,  a 
self-sacrificing  physician,  and  one  of 
God's  noblemen". 

Dr.  Corson  is  survived  by  his  wife 
and  one  daughter,  Mrs.  M.  K.  Mohler 
of  Cleveland,  Ohio. 

Emanuel  Edward  Pawling,  dean  of 
the  Snyder  County  Bar  Association 
and  a  director  of  the  Selinsgrove  First 
National  Bank,  died  at  Selinsgrove  in 

20 


November.    Internment   was    made    in 
Union  Cemetery. 

1895 

On  October  16,  1940,  Professor  Jo- 
seph C.  Carey  of  Collingdale,  Pa.,  died 
from  a  heart  attack  at  the  Fitzgerald 
Mercy  Hospital,  Philadelphia,  while  he 
was  preparing  to  leave  the  institution 
after  undergoing  a  major  operation 
four  weeks  before. 

Professor  Carey  was  sixty-five  years 
of  age  and  was  widely  known  because 
of  his  activity  in  the  educational  field. 
He  was  for  many  years  superintendent 
of  the  schools  at  Collingdale,  and  for 
many  years  was  principal  of  the  Dan- 
ville  High   School. 

Professor  Carey  was  graduated  from 
Bucknell  University  with  honors  and 
was  one  of  the  youngest  members  of 
his  class.  His  brothers  and  sisters  are 
all  graduates  of  Bucknell,  and  one  of 
his  sisters,  Miss  Anna  Carey,  was  for 
a  number  of  years  Dean  of  the  Wo- 
men's College  at  Bucknell.

1899 

After  being  ill  for  several  months, 
Cullen  Frazer  Shipman,  a  practicing 
attorney  at  the  bar  of  Northumber- 
land County  courts  for  the  past  thirty-

Attorney  Shipman  spent  most  of  his 
early  life  on  a  farm  in  Rockefeller

1905 

Bucknell  lost  one  of  its  most  de-

Pittsburgh,  Pa.,  and  president  of  The

Norman   Henry,   '05 


Dr.  Henry's  interest  in  writing, 
which  began  during  his  high  school 
days,  blossomed  into  the  co-authorship 
of  Latin  textbooks  and  the  writing  of 
articles  for  such  scholarly  journals  and 
magazines  as  Art  and  Archeology, 
Classical  Outlook.  Classical  Journal.

Henry,  Bucknell  lost  one  of  its  most 
noble  and  loyal  Bucknellians. 

He  left  a  bequest  of  $500  to  the  en- 
dowment fund  of  the  Bucknell  Uni- 
versity Library.

1910 

Word  has  been  received  from  Wash- 
ington that  Lynford  James  Haynes, 
Washington  businessman  and  former 
Federal  Government  employee,  died  at 
his  home  in  that  city.  Mr.  Haynes  was 
chief  of  publications  in  the  Agricul- 
ture Department  under  Secretary 
Henry  C.  Wallace.  In  1925,  he  resigned 
from  this  position  and  established  the 
Standard  Business  Service,  which  he 
maintained  until  his  death. 

The  death  of  George  B.  Schroyer,  a 
fifty-three  year  old  retired  Pennsyl- 
vania Railroad  trainmaster,  occurred 
as  the  result  of  a  heart  attack  while 
he  and  Mrs.  Schroyer  were  traveling 
by  car  to  Bellefonte  after  having  vis- 
ited their  son,  George,  Jr.,  a  sopho- 
more at  Pennsylvania  State  College. 

Mr.  Schroyer  was  one  of  Bucknell's 
outstanding  engineers.  Twenty-five 
years  ago  he  designed  and  wrote  for 
the  Pennsylvania  Railroad,  the  specifi- 
cations for  the  first  underground  mul- 
tiple duct  telephone  conduit  ever  con- 
structed in  the  United  States.  The 
conduit  extended  from  Paoli  to  Phila- 
delphia. Mr.  Schroyer  also  strung 
cables,  built  test  houses,  and,  during 
the  World  War,  was  in  charge  of  con- 

21 


struction  and  development  work  for 
the  railroad  company  in  the  New  York 
City  harbor  district.  He  built  the  large 
Grunville  yards,  float  bridges,  and 
submarine  facilities  at  Oak  Island  and 
Port  Newark,  N.  J.  At  the  conclusion 
of  the  war,  he  was  in  charge  of  all 
communication  facilities,  signals,  block 
stations,  and  train  dispatches  for  the 
Pennsylvania  Railroad  between  Wash- 
ington. D.  C,  and  Philadelphia.  At  the 
time  of  his  retirement  in  1939,  he  was 
trainmaster  in  the  general  manager's 
office,   Chicago  division. 

Mr.  Schroyer  loved  Bucknell  and 
took  a  great  interest  in  her  accom- 
plishments. He  took  an  active  part  in 
alumni  activities  and  was  a  member 
of  the  Bison  Club  of  Bucknell  Uni- 
versity. 

1912 

Mr.  Daniel  M.  Wise  of  Drexel  Hill, 
a  distinguished  Bucknell  alumnus,  died 
at  his  home  on  January  8,  1941.  Mr. 
Wise,  a  scientist,  is  especially  to  be 
remembered  for  the  important  re- 
search work  he  performed  for  the 
Carnegie  Foundation  several  years 
ago.  This  research,  concerned  with 
magnetism,  took  him  to  such  remote 
parts  of  the  world  as  Labrador,  South 
America,  and  Africa.  After  complet- 
ing this  assignment,  Mr.  Wise  became 
a  member  of  the  research  staff  of  the 
American  Telephone  and  Telegraph 
Company.

Jr.,  is  a  member  of  the  senior  class 
at  Bucknell.

thankful  to  say  I  still  have  that  privi- 
lege. It  will  be  a  sad  day  to  me  when 
I  cannot  do  so,  for  I  have  a  side  cor- 
respondence —  Burma  and  California 
and  England  and  France,  to  say  noth- 
ing of  locals.  I  am  much  interested 
with  all  that  I  see  about  Bucknell's 
president  andl  hope  that  college  is  go- 
ing to  have  a  precious  year  teaching 
and  guiding  the  many  young  people 
under  its  care".  Mrs.  Stevens  is  living 
with  her  daughter  at  Hampton  Insti-

In    the    January   3,    1941,    issue    of 
"The   Cranbury   Press"  the   following 
article    appeared    under    the    column 
headed  "Hightstown  Fifty  Years  Ago". 
"The  third  lecture  of  the  Peddie 
Institute  course  will  be  delivered 
on  Friday  evening,  January  6,  by 
Dr.    J.    H.    Harris,    president    of

1877 
A  telegram  addressed  to  the  late 
Judge  Dickinson  arrived  at  the  Fed- 
eral Court  on  December  13,  1940,  stat- 
ing that  a  delegation  of  Indians  would 
stop  there  on  their  way  to  Washing- 
ton to  express  their  gratitude  to  the 
white  man,  Judge  Dickinson,  who  had 
used  judicial  wisdom  when  dealing 
with  a  full-blood  Indian,  Paul  Diabo, 
thirteen  years  ago.  Diabo  had  been  in- 
dicted and  brought  to  trial  for  viola- 
tion of  the  immigration  laws,  but 
Judge  Dickinson  upheld  the  contention 
of  Bonnelly,  now  Judge  of  the  Mu- 
nicipal Court,  "that  the  Indian  was 
the  original  American  citizen,  a  con- 
tinental America,  who  needed  no  pass- 
port to  go  from  one  North  American 
nation  to  another".  This  decision  was 
to  the  Indian  a  recognition  of  citizen- 
ship which  he  had  not  forgotten.  The 
Indians,  however,  were  not  able  to  re- 
pay their  debt  as  they  desired,  for  the 
Judge  had  left  for  the  Happy  Hunt- 
ing  Grounds   on   September   16,   1939.

"England,  England,  there  she  stands, 
Pale  but  proud  and  bravely  grand, 
Grand  in  all  that  we  call  right 
Grant  it  may  be  also  might; 
May  the  heart  of  everyone 
Who  is  not  by  sin  undone 
Lift  clean  hands  and  fervent  pray 
For  her  victory  today. 
May  the  hand-clasp  of  the  West 
Carried  on  the  ocean's  crest, 
Form    the    bond    that    naught    can 

sever; 
Isle  of  England,  live  forever!"

After  experimenting  with  corn  for 
over  twenty  years,  Dr.  William  H. 
Eyster,  professor  of  botany  at  Buck- 
nell, developed  a  new  strain  of  hybrid 
corn  which  meets  the  physical  condi- 
tions in  Pennsylvania.  This  corn  which 
is  the  result  of  a  hybrid  of  two  in- 
breds  (Gigas  corn  inbred  for  over 
twenty  years  and  Reid's  Yellow  Dent 
corn  inbred  for  about  twelve  years) 
grows  to  an  average  of  ten  feet.  It 
can  be  identified  by  its  broad  leaves 
and  by  its  three  columns  which  con- 
tain two  ears  each.  A  deep  root  sys- 
tem, which  forms  a  reservoir  during 
wet  days  and  stores  it  for  future  use, 
enables  the  plant  to  resist  drought 
for  long  periods.

to  the  Italian-Greece  situation  after  he

the  similarity  between  Italian  tactics 
in  Ethiopia  and  the  present  push  into 
Greece.  However,  the  big  difference  is 
that  the  Greek  terrain  offers  far 
greater  obstacles  and  the  Greeks  are 
equipped  with  the  most  modern  ar- 
tillery and  rifles  in  the  world".

95TH  CHARTER  DAY

ever  slips  into  apathy.  So  much  goes 
on.  I  asked  an  old  gentleman  in  Oslo 
once  how  he  kept  so  young  and  he 
answered  me,  'Because  I  have  never 
shut  my  eyes  to  what  is  going  on  in 
the  world.  I  began  as  a  boy.  That  is 
why  I  am  as  interested  as  a  boy  to- 
day'. I  am  told  that  American  boys 
and  girls  are  careless,  more  interested 
in  themselves  than  in  the  world  or  the 
country,  or  their  families.  I  think  that 
we  all  have  been,  when  we  were  young, 
and  regretted  it  later.  So  I  would  ask 
them,  out  of  very  interest  in  them- 
selves, to  keep  awake,  to  see  what  is 
happening  to  their  families,  to  their 
country  and  to  the  world.  We  are  all 
in  the  same  boat.  If  old  people  cannot 
solve  the  problems  of  today,  there  will 
be  just  that  much  more  trouble  and 
conflict  for  youth  to  meet.  But  we 
elders  can  find  answers  more  readily  if 
we  know  that  the  youth  are  behind  us, 
depending  on  us,  to  make  the  present, 
as  we  depend  on  you  to  build  the  fu- 
ture. 

"America  is  not  perfect.  My  genera- 
tion knows  that.  But  it  is  ours,  and  it 
has  been  for  a  century  the  dream  of 
freedom  of  every  European.  We  must 
keep  it  so.  Its  streets  have  never  been 
paved  with  gold,  and  they  never  will 
be,  but  I  should  like  to  think  that 
even  for  the  democracies  in  the  north, 


we  should  stand  as  a  land  of  opportu- 
nity and  enthusiasm  and  riches.  By 
riches  I  mean  not  only  raw  materials, 
armies,  navies,  railroads,  ships,  and 
cities,  but  a  whole  people  full  of  good 
will  towards  the  world,  loyal  to  its 
own  flag  and  beautiful  continent,  ready 
to  work  to  educate  its  whole  people. 

"The  ancient  republic  of  Greece, 
the  modern  kingdom  of  Greece,  the 
ancient  empire  of  China,  the  modern 
and  war  torn  republic  of  Asia,  the 
United  States  of  America,  see  what 
we  have  in  common.  That  is  some- 
thing every  American  young  man 
should  study. 

"To  prepare  yourselves  for  the  times 
you  live  in  you  must  look  over  the 
whole  world  to  find  your  allies  in 
building  a  world  of  equality,  of  op- 
portunity for  all  classes  and  all  races, 
for  the  greater  part  of  mankind  will 
be  happiest  in  a  democratic  society. 
But  do  not  hope  to  have  your  democ- 
racy in  far  places,  or  worth  fighting 
for  elsewhere,  if  in  your  own  house, 
own  schools,  own  factories  and  shops, 
in  your  own  country  and  city,  you  do 
not  find  the  slogans  and  spirit  and  the 
daily  practice  of  helping  each  other 
and  keeping  your  eyes  open  to  know 
and  guard  not  only  your  own  advan- 
tage, but  the  common  interests  of 
mankind  in  justice  and  peace.  Remem- 
ber to  rejoice  and  be  happy  over  your 
blessings.  Hold  fast  to  your  ideals. 
Lift  up  your  eyes  to  the  hills  and  re- 

29 


alize   that   'Where   there   is  no   vision, 
the  people  perish'." 

The  radio  program  was  most  fitting- 
ly concluded  by  President  Marts  when 
he  said,  "May  I  sum  up  in  a  few  words 
the  attitude  and  conviction  which  is 
now  crystallizing  in  the  minds  of  these 
American  Youth  whom  I  happen  to 
know? 

"It  is  this  —  'We  want  a  better 
world  of  justice  and  peace  and  broth- 
erhood of  all  man,  and  some  day  we 
mean  to  have  it!  Just  now  evil  men 
and  evil  forces  are  blocking  the  way 
to  such  a  world.  Consequently,  we  ap- 
parently are  to  have  difficult  and  dan- 
gerous duties  before  us.  Whatever  sac- 
rifices Americans  must  make,  we  shall 
make;  whatever  we  have  to  do,  we 
shall  do,  as  best  we  can.  But  we  shall 
do  it  in  the  hope  and  in  the  name  of 
our  dream  for  a  better  world,  and  we 
shall  insist  that  after  this  turmoil  is 
ended,  as  it  must  be  some  day,  there 
must  come  another  vigorous  stride  for- 
ward toward  a  future  world  of  de- 
cency and  cooperation  which  will  con- 
form to  youthful  dreams  more  nearly 
than  any  world  which  mankind  has 
ever  yet  seen'. 

"Carry  on,  Bucknellians,  wherever 
you  are.  Remember  the  way  to  the 
better  world  is  what  we  call  the  Buck- 
nell Way  of  Life  —  the  way  of  in- 
telligence, integrity,  and  brotherhood. 
Be  true  to  it  —  always!"

Explanation  of  the  Proposed  By-Laws  of  the 
General  Alumni  Association 


THE  conduct  of  the  affairs  of   the  Association   has   undergone   such    a  radical  change  in  the  past  few  years  that  it  has  been  found  necessary 
to  work  out  a  new  plan  of  organization  to  take  full  advantage  of   the  promise  which  the  development  of  local  clubs  offers.  The  present  by- 
laws are  ill  adapted  for  such  a  program,  and  the  committee  appointed    to    consider    their    revision    has    recommended    their    repeal    and    the 
adoption  of  a  new  set  of  by-laws  as  the  simplest  way  of  bringing  about   the  needed  reorganization. 

The  organization  for  the  conduct  of  the  internal  affairs  of  the  association  under  the  proposed  new  by-laws  has  its  analogy  in  our  own 
Government.  The  Alumni  are  all  considered  members  of  the  great  empire  of  Bucknellians  spread  all  over  the  world.  On  account  of  their 
wide  distribution,  it  is  impossible  to  provide  for  them  a  direct  and  equal  voice  in  the  conduct  of  affairs  ;  hence  a  system  of  representation 
has  been  worked  out  with  the  local  club  as  the  unit.  The  whole  country  will  be  divided  into  districts,  and  each  district  will  be  assigned  to  a 
local  club  which  will  function  not  unlike  a  state.  Every  member  of  the  Association  will  also  be  a  member  of  the  local  club  to  which  has  been 
assigned  the  territory  where  he  resides.  Every  year  each  local  club  will  send  its  representative  to  Lewisburg  at  Commencement  time,  and 
there  the  representatives  will  meet  in  an  Assembly,  discuss  the  problems  of  Association,  and  dispatch  such  business  as  has  been  delegated  to 
them  by  the  By-Laws.  The  members  of  the  General  Association  will  also  meet  at  Lewisburg  each  year  and  transact  such  affairs  as  have  not 
been  delegated  to  the   Assembly.   The  Assembly   is   intended  to  be  the   deliberate  body. 

The  proposed  new  by-laws,  as  given  below,  contemplate  extending  the  pursuit  of  the  aims  and  purposes  of  the  General  Association 
through  the  medium  of  the  local  clubs  which  will  be  strengthened,  developed,  and  established  wherever  a  nucleus  of  the  Alumni  can  be  found. 
There  is  considered  to  be  an  incalculable  amount  of  good  will,  enthusiasm,  and  potential  service  for  Bucknell  among  its  Alumni  which  is 
going  to  waste.  It  is  intended  through  the  local  clubs  to  capitalize  this  by  providing  opportunities  for  and  furnishing  contacts  with  Alumni 
at  home  for  the  rendering  of  service  to  their  Alma  Mater.  The  program  contemplates  a  great  network  of  local  clubs  which  will  develop 
leaders  in  Bucknell  affairs  and  furnish  a  great  service  organization  available  tc  the  President  of  the  University,  the  Director  of  Admis- 
sions, the  Bison  Club,  the  Friends  of  the  Library,   and  other  organizations   serving  Bucknell. 

Respectfully  submitted  by

for  the    Committee. 


Please  take  notice  that  a  motion 
will  be  made  at  the  annual  meeting  of

This  Edition  of  The  Alumni  Monthly 

is  Enthusiastically 

Dedicated  to 

THE     BISON     CLUB 


A  virile  organization  of  loyal  friends 
and  alumni  pledged  to  support  Buck- 
nell  in  every  possible  manner. 


Best  wishes  for  success  as  the  Club 
undertakes  to  expand  its  membership 
during  October. 


President's  "Tage^ 


Q)ear  SBucknellians: 


We — you  and  your  Alma  Mater — will  need  each  other  this  year  more  than  we  have 
ever  needed  each  other  before,  perhaps.  The  months  that  lie  before  us  will  be  months 
of  testing. 

You  will  need  your  Alma  Mater.  You  will  be  strengthened  by  the  knowledge  that 
it  still  stands  on  its  beautiful  hill,  unswerving  in  its  age-long  devotion  to  truth  and  honor 
and  Christian  civilization.  In  the  midst  of  the  confusion  of  a  world  in  revolution,  it 
will  be  refreshing  to  you  to  know  that  Bucknell  keeps  her  faith  in  the  ever-lasting  intel- 
lectual and  cultural  and  spiritual  values. 

Your  Alma  Mater,  in  turn,  will  need  you  to  an  unusual  degree.  We  will  need  your 
understanding  of  the  problems  which  a  college  faces  in  these  times — the  problem  of  stable 
enrollment  under  the  operation  of  the  National  Selective  Service  Act;  the  problem  of 
current  financial  operations;  above  all  the  problem  of  leading  and  inspiring  13  00  young 
Bucknellians  to  keep  loyal  to  the  highest  ideals  of  work  and  life  and  conduct,  against 
the  temptations  of  the  deterioration  of  such  ideals  in  the  world  about  them. 

Let  us  close  up  our  ranks,  draw  closer  together  in  mutual  understanding  and  devo- 
tion, and  give  each  other  added  strength  and  courage  and  inspiration  for  the  months  that 
lie  ahead. 

Come  back  at  Homecoming  time,  and  at  other  times  when  you  can;  attend  the 
Bucknell  Club  meetings  in  your  own  communities;  join  one  or  more  of  the  alumni  service 
groups,  such  as  the  Bison  Club,  or  Friends  of  the  Library,  or  Religious  Work  Associates — 
and  call  on  us  whenever  we  can  be  of  service  to  you. 

Great  days  lie  ahead  of  us,  if  we  prove  ourselves  strong  and  courageous  enough  to 
withstand  and  overthrow  the  forces  of  ignorance  and  cruelty  which  precipitated  the 
present  world  revolution,  perhaps  the  most  violent  revolution  in  the  experience  of  man- 
kind. We  shall  have  another  chance,  then,  to  rebuild  our  world.  We  must  do  our  part 
to  try  to  make  it  a  world  patterned  after  the  Bucknell  Way  of  Life — the  way  of  intelli- 
gence, integrity,  and  Christian  brotherhood. 

Let  us  give  each  other  faith  and  courage  toward  that  goal. 

Cordially  yours,

Homecoming  October  18,  Features 
Bison  Club  Breakfast,  Parade, 
Football  Game,  Alumni  Dinner 
and  Dance 

HOMECOMING  is  in  the  air!  That  much  needed  fall 
tonic — that  injection  of  new  spirit  so  necessary  for 
hard  work  during  the  winter  can  be  secured  by 
meeting  old  friends  on  the  Bucknell  campus.  With  the 
possibility  of  the  usual  downpour  before  the  kick-off  at  the 
Homecoming  game  practically  eliminated,  why  not  call 
your  friends  and  tell  them  to  call  their  friends  and  all  of  you 
join  the  almost  endless  caravan  which  will  converge  on  the 
small  town  of  Lewisburg,  October  18. 

The  early  fall  is  the  ideal  time  to  return  to  the  campus, 
and  there  is  unanimous  agreement  among  Bucknellians 
everywhere  that  this  is  the  best  Homecoming  date  in  years. 
There  is  still  another  important  point  on  which  all  who  re- 
turn annually  are  in  complete  agreement — that  Home- 
coming at  Bucknell  is  one  of  the  outstanding  events  of  the 
year  and  the  one  probably  longest  remembered. 

As  the  campus  takes  on  its  fall  appearance  and  the  old 
oaks  get  their  coating  of  red  and  gold,  as  the  snappy  fall 
air  gives  one  new  zest,  it  is  in  order  to  make  a  prediction. 
Without  any  desire  to  be  too  optimistic,  but  with  complete 
reserve  and  appreciation  of  former  alumni  gatherings,  it  is 
safe  to  predict  that  October  IS  is  going  to  stand  out  as 
one  of  the  best  of  all  Homecomings.  Early  requests  for 
reservations  indicate  that  more  Bucknellians  than  ever  be- 
fore are  making  plans  to  come  back  this  year,  and  we  assume

Alumni  Day  Luncheon  icas  held  in  the  Women's  Dining  Hall. 

Many  Returned  for  Alumni  Day 

DID  you  return  to  the  Bucknell  campus  during  the  1941 
Commencement  Week-End  in  June?  If  you  didn't, 
you  missed  one  of  the  finest  week-ends  Bucknell  has 
experienced  during  the  ninety-five  years  of  its  existence. 
Alumni,  faculty,  members  of  the  administration,  students, 
and  even  old  Mr.  Weatherman  and  his  crew  contributed 
their  share  toward  making  the  week-end  a  successful  one. 

On  Saturday,  June  7,  alumni  festivities  were  in  full 
swing.  Hundreds  of  Bucknellians  and  cherished  friends 
of  Bucknell  wound  their  way  to  Lewisburg  to  attend  the 
various  activities  planned  in  their  behalf.  The  first  event 
of  the  day  was  the  Bison  Club  Breakfast  at  the  Hotel  Lew- 
isburger,  which  was  given  by  its  president,  Mr.  Rush  H. 
Kress.  This  was  attended  by  approximately  one  hundred 
and  sixty  men  and  women. 

After  the  Bison  Club  meeting  was  adjourned,  an  Ath- 
letic Council  meeting  was  held  in  the  Alumni  Office  and  a 
meeting  of  the  Board  of  Trustees  was  held  in  Larison  Hall. 
Those  alumni  who  were  not  members  of  either  of  these 
groups  enjoyed  walking  up  and  down  the  college  paths  or 
across  the  rolling  campus  recalling  memories  of  their  col- 
lege days.  During  this  particular  part  of  the  day,  Buck- 
nellians made  their  way  to  Roberts  Hall  to  register  at 
Alumni  Headquarters  and  to  see  how  many  of  their  class- 
mates had  returned  to  pay  homage  to  their  Alma  Mater. 

At  12:30  P.  M.  the  General  Alumni  and  Alumnae  Lunch- 
eon was  held  in  the  Women's  Dining  Hall.  Perhaps  to 
many  alumni  this  luncheon  was  the  most  important  part 
of  the  day's  proceedings,  for  at  this  time  they  were  best 
able  to  renew  old  friendships,  meet  former  teachers,  and 
join  in  telling  once  again  stories  of  the  days  they  spent  at 
Bucknell.

THE  BUCKNELL  ALUMNI  MONTHLY 

Published  monthly  during  the  college  year  by 

THE  GENERAL  ALUMNI  ASSOCIATION  OF  BUCKNELL  UNIVERSITY 

Entered  as  second-class  matter  December  30,  1930,  at  the  postoffice   at  Lewisburg,   Pa.,   under   the  Act  of  August   24,    1912.

BucknelTs  Chemistry 

Department  Received 

Recognition 

The  Chemistry  Department  at  Buck- 
nell  University  was  accredited  in  May 
by  the  American  Chemical  Society  in 
accordance  with  standards  set  by  the 
Committee  of  the  Professional  Train- 
ing of  Chemists.  The  academic  stand- 
ing of  the  Bucknell  Chemistry  Depart- 
ment was  thus  placed  in  the  upper  sev- 
en per  cent  of  all  universities  in  the 
country,  for  out  of  1,5  86  colleges  and 
universities  in  the  United  States,  only 
102  have  been  accredited. 

This  means  to  the  student  who  ma- 
jors in  chemistry  that  after  receiving 
his  degree  from  Bucknell  he  can  quali- 
fy as  a  professional  chemist  if  he  spends 
two  years  in  the  industry  or  in  gradu- 
ate school.  On  the  other  hand,  stu- 
dents who  attend  institutions  which 
are  not  accredited  are  required  to  com- 
plete five  years  of  additional  training 
after  graduation. 

In  addition  to  meeting  the  stand- 
ards set  by  the  accrediting  committee, 
the  Bucknell  Department  of  Chemistry 
also  has  a  chemistry  curriculum  which 
provides  electives  for  the  student  in 
either  of  two  major  fields  of  chemistry 
during  his  junior  year.  He  can  decide 
to  do  his  major  work  in  the  field  of  in- 
organic (physical)  chemistry  or  in  the 
field  of  organic  (biological)  chemis- 
try. An  unusual  opportunity  is  also 
provided  for  the  student  who  is  quali- 
fied to  do  a  research  problem  in  the 
field  of  his  major  interest.  If  he  fol- 
lows such  a  curriculum  while  at  Buck- 
nell he  is  then  qualified  for  a  position 
in  the  chemical  industries  or  for  gradu- 
ate study. 


Admiral  Stark  and  Five  Others 
Receive  Honorary  Degrees 

Bucknell  University  honored  six  dis- 
tinguished Americans— an  educator, 
an  engineer,  an  opera  singer,  a  business- 
man, a  clergyman,  and  a  United  States 
naval  officer  —  at  her  Ninety-First 
Commencement  exercises  on  June  9. 
All  of  these  men  were  chosen  because 
of  the  distinctive  service  they  have 
rendered  in  their  respective  fields. 

The  degree  of  Doctor  of  Laws  was 
conferred  upon  Admiral  Harold  R. 
Stark,  chief  of  the  United  States  naval 
operations  and  one  of  the  1941  Com- 
mencement speakers.  Admiral  Stark 
was  appointed  chief  of  naval  operations 
with  the  rank  of  Admiral  by  President 
Roosevelt  in  1939.  At  the  present 
time  Admiral  Stark  is  supervising  the 
operations  of  the  United  States  fleet 
and  is  participating  in  the  plans  for 
strengthening  our  National  defense. 

Christian  R.  Lindback,  president  of 
Abbott  Dairies,  Philadelphia,  and  a 
trustee  of  Bucknell,  also  received  the 
degree  of  Doctor  of  Laws.  One  of  Mr. 
Lindback's  many  worthwhile  contri- 
butions was  the  establishment  of  the 
Lindback  Foundation  fifteen  years  ago, 
which  made  it  possible  for  the  em- 
ployees of  Abbott  Dairies  and  their 
families  to  enjoy  social  security  long 
before  it  was  seriously  considered  by 
the  National  Government. 

Stanley  H.  Rolfe,  '09,  superinten- 
dent of  schools  of  Newark,  N.  J.,  was 
a  third  recipient  of  the  degree  of  Doc- 
tor of  Laws.  In  the  supervision  of 
Newark's  forty-nine  elementary 
schools,  five  junior  high  schools,  seven 
senior  high  schools,  and  many  special 
schools,  Dr.  Rolfe  has  been  exception- 
ally successful. 

The  degree  of  Doctor  of  Music  went 
to  Paul  S.  Althouse,  '12,  Metropolitan 
Opera  tenor.  When  bestowing  the  de- 
gree upon  Mr.  Althouse,  Dr.  Marts 
said,  "You  have  the  distinction  of  be- 
ing the  only  Bucknellian  who  has  ever 
(Continued  on  Page  IS) 


Bison  Club  President, 

Rush  H.  Kress,  '00 


Says: 


For  several  years  Bucknell  has 
faced  a  problem  of  paying  off  the 
indebtedness  that  has  remained  from 
the  stadium  project,  the  improve- 
ments made  to  the  campus  at  the 
time  of  the  erection  of  Hunt  Hall  and 
the  Women's  Dining  Hall,  and  the 
accumulated  deficit  of  the  Athletic 
Council.  President  Marts  has  all 
along  given  serious  thought  to  this 
problem,  and  in  1936  he  met  in  New 
York  with  a  group  of  trustees  and 
active  alumni  for  the  purpose  of  dis- 
cussing the  situation.  A  small  group 
prepared  the  preliminary  program, 
and  active  work  on  the  problem  was 
started  in  1938.  Naturally,  the  work 
required  many  meetings  and  probab- 
ly twenty-five  or  more  meetings  were 
held  during  the  months  that  followed 
with  forty  or  fifty  alumni  from  New 
York,  New  Jersey,  Connecticut,  and 
Pennsylvania  attending  one  or  more 
of  the  meetings. 

As  the  program  developed,  the  par- 
ticular group  mentioned  in  the  pre- 
ceding paragraph  became  interested 
in  the  Athletic  Council  debt  as  well 
as  the  general  problem  connected 
with  the  furtherance  of  athletics  at 
Bucknell.  Soon  the  general  program 
evolved  into  the  organization  of  the 
Bison  Club,  and,  as  the  idea  devel- 
oped, the  Club  pledged  itself  to  sup- 
port Bucknell  in  every  possible  man- 
ner. Its  membership  now  elects  six 
of  the  fifteen  members  of  the  Ath- 
letic Council,  thus  insuring  the  en- 
listment of  alumni  interest  and  sup- 
port. 

The  group  has  now  started  the 
work  of  expanding  the  Bison  Club 
membership  so  every  Bucknellian 
may  more  readily  be  able  to  furnish 
further  assistance  to  Dr.  Marts  and 
the  administration  for  the  vital  in- 
terests of  Bucknell. 

Under  the  capable  leadership  of 
Pep  Dawson,  we  are  seeking  a  total 
of  six  hundred  members  in  1941  and 
one  thousand  in  1942.  During  Oc- 
tober an  invitation  will  be  extended 
to  all  Bucknellians. 

The  annual  Bison  Club  Breakfast 
will  be  held  at  the  Hotel  Lewisburg- 
er  at  9:00  a.  m.  on  October  18,  which 
is  being  given  by  its  President  for  all 
present  and  prospective  members. 
Won't  you  join  us? 


New  Alumni  Trustee, 

John  T.  Shirley,  '09 


Says: 


Bucknell's  progress  and  the  quality 
of  her  service  to  undergraduates  and 
to  the  community  at  large  can  be 
measured  by  the  support  of  her 
alumni.  As  an  Alumni  Trustee,  it  is 
partly  my  job  to  present  to  the  Board 
of  Trustees  the  points  of  view  of 
Bucknell's  thousands  of  alumni  and 
to  cement  active  relations  between 
alumni  and  University  management. 

Recent  improvement  in  alumni  or- 
ganization and  founding  of  the  Bison 
Club  should  facilitate  co-operation 
and  advancement  of  alumni  and  Uni- 
versity management  and  give  alumni 
a  larger,  more  direct  interest  in  and 
responsibility  for  the  conduct  of  the 
University's  affairs. 

Since  Bucknell  is  not  a  heavily  en- 
dowed University  and  substantial 
gifts  can  be  expected  from  a  limited 
number  of  alumni  and  friends,  Buck- 
nell must  depend  in  part  on  average 
gifts  from  a  large  number  of  her  sons 
and  daughters.  Bison  Club  member- 
ship is  one  channel  through  which  a 
great  number  of  alumni  may  con- 
tribute annually. 

Equally  important  to  your  annual 
gift  through  the  Bison  Club  is  your 
generous  support  of  our  Club's  activi- 
ties. The  Club  has  assumed  the  re- 
sponsibility of  placing  our  athletics 
on  a  sound  basis.  Young  men  and 
women  are  alert  today,  more  than 
ever,  to  the  necessity  of  college  train- 
ing which  includes  physical  as  well 
as  moral,  social,  and  educational  de- 
velopment. We  believe  that  a  soundly 
organized  and  administered  program 
for  spiritual,  physical,  and  mental  de- 
velopment will  draw  the  highest  type 
student  to  Bucknell.  This  is  the  aim 
and  purpose  of  the  Bison  Club  mem- 
bers. 

As  a  Bucknellian  and  Alumni  Trus- 
tee, it  is  my  earnest  hope  that  every 
alumnus  and  alumna  will  join  the 
Bison  Club,  contribute  personally,  as 
well  as  financially,  and  derive  a  feel- 
ing of  satisfaction  that  our  obligation 
to  Bucknell  for  the  use  of  its  educa- 
tional advantages  extended  to  us  in 
years  gone  by  has  been  adequately 
discharged.  When  we  meet  at  Home- 
coming on  October  18,  let  us  look 
forward  to  a  healthy  growth  in  Bison 
Club     membership. 


Alumni  Activities  Should  Be  Increased 

This  Year 

By  W.  C.  Lowther,  '15,  Pres.  General  Alumni  Association 


With  European  war  lords  attempt- 
ing, through  fiendish  and  hellish  ca- 
tastrophic methods,  to  wipe  democra- 
cy from  the  face  of  the  earth,  it  is  ex- 
tremely fortunate  that  we  have  Dr. 
Marts  to  lead  us  as  we  open  for  our 
96th  year. 

As  I  take  over  the  presidency,  the 
General  Alumni  Association  and  our 
thirty-nine  sectional  clubs  scattered 
from  Coast  to  Coast  have  never  been 
in  a  more  prosperous  and  active  condi- 
tion. We  cannot  remain  stationary. 
We  must  progress  or  slip  backward. 
Let  us  all  now  resolve  to  work  just  a 
little  harder  and  lend  a  hand  where 
ever  we  are  needed  to  "Boost  Buck- 
nell." 

All  phases  of  alumni  work  are  mere- 
ly efforts  to  develop  good-will  among 
the  alumni  of  Bucknell  so  that  when 
the  University  is  passing  through  an 
emergency,  or  undertakes  a  project,  or 
acquires  an  ambition,  thousands  of 
alumni  will  so  sincerely  appreciate  the 
advantages  secured  to  them  from  this 
exposure  to  higher  education  that  they 
will  be  ready  to  come  to  her  support. 
It  matters  little  whether  this  support 
is  in  cash,  in  bequests,  in  a  higher  grade 
of  new  student,  in  equipment,  in  pub- 
licity or  just  plain  loyal  work. 

We  welcome  the  Class  of  1941  as 
alumni  and  hope  they  will  avail  them- 
selves the  privilege  of  affiliation  with 
one  of  the  local  alumni  groups.  You 
need  us,  and  we  need  you  to  help  us 
carry  on  the  work. 

Plan  now  to  come  back  for  Home- 
coming on  October  1 8  and  feel  the 
"Spirit  of  Bucknell"  and  see  the  Bisons 
in  action. 


Organize  An  Alumni  Ululi 

Bucknellians  living  in  areas  where 
there  are  no  alumni  clubs  can  organize 
one  provided  there  are  at  least  five 
Bucknellians  within  a  reasonable  ra- 
dius. An  Officer's  Handbook  can  be 
secured  by  writing  to  the  Alumni  Of- 
fice.

New  Officers  Elected  for 
Alumni  Association 

The  Board  of  Directors  elected  W. 
C.  Lowther,  '14,  president  of  the 
General  Alumni  Association.  Kenneth 
W.  Slifer,  '26,  elected  president  at  the 
June  meeting,  was  unable  to  accept  the 
position. 

Mr.  Lowther  is  the  first  president 
under  the  new  By-Laws.  He  succeeds 
E.  A.  Snyder,  '11,  under  whose  un- 
usual leadership  and  tireless  effort  the 
Association  has  made  outstanding 
progress.  Mr.  Lowther  is  exception- 
ally well  qualified  for  his  new  office. 

Other  officers  of  the  Association  are 
S.  L.  Seemann,  '17,  first  vice-president; 
Emma  E.  Dillon,  '15,  second  vice-pres- 
ident; Dayton  L.  Ranck,  '16,  treasur- 
er; and  L.  Francis  Lybarger,  Jr.,  '28, 
secretary.  The  membership  of  the 
new  Board  of  Directors  is  as  follows: 
W.  C.  Lowther,  '14;  S.  L.  Seemann, 
'17;  Emma  E.  Dillon,  '15;  Miller  A. 
Johnson,  '20;  Dr.  E.  W.  Pangburn,  '15; 
E.  A.  Snyder,  '1 1 ;  and  O.  V.  W.  Haw- 
kins, '13.  A  copy  of  the  new  By-Laws, 
adopted  at  the  June  meeting  with  only 
minor  changes,  was  printed  in  the  May 
issue  of  the  Alumni  Monthly. 


Were  In  the  Army  Now! 


By  Private  Bare  Cannon,  '39 

This  had  been  planned  as  a  pretty 
comprehensive  analysis  covering  all 
Bucknellians  known  to  be  in  the  ser- 
vice, and  giving  some  news  notes  about 
them.  However,  yours  truly,  while 
visiting  in  Washington  over  the  week 
end  from  Camp  Meade  was  taken  ill, 
and  landed  here  in  Walter  Reed.  Mean- 
while, interesting  replies  from  fellow 
Bucknellians  in  uniform  continue  to 
pile  up  at  camp,  and  having  no  way 
to  reach  them  I'll  have  to  report  from 
memory. 

First  off — upon  being  admitted  here, 
I  was  given  a  blood  test,  and  none 
other  than  Bucknellian  John  Quakers, 
'37,  a  lab  technician  in  the  army,  was 
to  do  the  test.  Next  morning  I  was 
awakened  with  a  shout  from  my  nurse 
who  turned  out  to  be  a  close  friend  in 
high  school  days  and  our  class  valedic- 
torian, whom  I  hadn't  seen  for  seven 
years.  It  was  beginning  to  seem  like 
old  home  week! 

Possibly  what  most  of  you  would 
like  to  know  is  how  the  boys  all  like 
it,  and  briefly,  it's  a  sad  note.  Even 
those  who  are  officers  or  who  are  slated 
to  be,  don't  seem  to  care  for  it,  and  to 
those  of  us  in  the  ranks,  the  thoughts 
of  two  and  a  half  years  of  it  seem 
unanimously  unbearable. 

Just  what  it  is  that  makes  it  so  un- 
pleasant is  hard  to  say,  because  in  each 
case  it  varies:  poor  food,  lack  of  prop- 
er medical  attention  (that  wouldn't 
apply  here  tho' — it's  excellent),  lack 
of  equipment,  lack  of  organization,  in- 
efficient officers,  and  general  confusion 
and  red  tape  all  come  in  for  their  share 
of  "beefing,"  but  I  think  the  college 
man  complains  chiefly  on  a  little  dif- 
ferent score. 

I've  heard  the  statement  made  that 
at  $21.00  and  $30.00  monthly  the  ma- 
jority of  the  army  men  will  be  at  the 
peak  of  their  earning  capacity  for  life, 
and  possibly  it's  true.  Certainly  it 
doesn't  apply  to  college  men  though; 
and  that's  the  big  rub.  Most  of  the 
men  were  born  during  the  last  war, 
spent  their  youth  in  the  depression 
which  followed,  and  then  when  the 
first  opportunity  to  earn  arose,  they 
were  thrust  into  the  army.  To  have 
the  time  more  than  doubled  after  most 
of  them  got  in  really  hurt,  and  they  all 
agree  that  chances  for  making  any- 
thing exist  only  now — that  the  depres- 
sion following  this  upheaval  will  make 
the  last  one  seem  like  boom  times  in 
comparison. 

Then  too,  college  men  are  pretty 
specifically  trained  for  definite  work 
and    interests,    and    though    the    army 


takes  decided  pains  to  ascertain  all 
this,  it  becomes  completely  disregard- 
ed when  they  place  the  men. 

To  top  it  all,  there  is  an  attitude  of 
boredom  which  the  type  of  work  gives 
birth  to  in  the  case  of  college  men  in 
the  service.  The  calibre  of  the  work 
done  is  infantile  in  nature,  and,  like  a 
convoy,  progress  is  measured  by  the 
slowest  individual,  so  at  times  the  mo- 
notony is  something  fierce. 

Had  an  interesting  letter  from  Har- 
old Frisoli,  '39,  former  art  editor  of 
L'Agenda,  who  was  drafted  from 
Newark  and  sent  to  Ft.  Dix,  N.  J. 
He's  in  the  52nd  Coast  Artillery,  and 
they  were  sent  to  the  new  defense  base 
in  Bermuda.  All  incoming  and  out- 
going Bermuda  mail  is  censored  by  the 
U.  S.  Army,  so  where  Hal  tried  to  tell 
me  what  his  duties  included,  it  was  cut 
right  out  of  the  letter,  as  was  the  name 
of  the  aircraft  carrier  upon  which 
Claude  Phillips,  '3  8,  now  flying  for  the 
navy,  is  stationed.  It  had  stopped 
there  in  Bermuda,  and  Hal  and  Claudie 
had  a  reunion  of  their  own.  The  lat- 
ter had  attended  Pensacola  following 
his  graduation. 

While  at  Camp  Lee,  Va.,  where  I 
was  at  the  reception  center  for  awhile, 
I  ran  into  Gerald  Wagner,  '40,  of  Mil- 
ton, who  had  been  drafted  and  was 
working  in  the  finance  section  there. 
They  wanted  to  keep  him  permanent- 
ly, but  he'd  have  had  to  enlist  for 
three  years  to  stay  there,  and  when  I 
saw  him  he  didn't  intend  to  do  that. 

Upon  arriving  at  Ft.  Meade,  I  was 
assigned  to  the  115th  Infantry,  a 
Maryland  National  Guard  regiment 
known  as  "Maryland's  Own."  I  dis- 
covered that  Carlysle  Evans,  '40,  was 
in  the  same  regiment,  and  though  we 
met  by  accident  in  the  canteen  one 
evening  and  had  a  nice  chat,  the  next 
time  I  went  to  look  him  up  he  was 
gone.  In  the  interim,  quite  a  few  men 
had  left  to  join  the  air  corps,  and  he 
may  have  been  one  of  them. 

At  the  reception  center  at  Ft. 
Meade  I  ran  into  Frank  Noll,  class  of 
'39,  and  he  was  being  sent  out  that  day 
to  Ft.  Eustis,  Va.  Bob  Seers,  also  '39, 
volunteered  prior  to  last  Christmas, 
and  was  located  at  Meade  for  a  time. 
He  is  now  a  sergeant  stationed  at  the 
reception  center  at  New  Cumberland, 
Pa.,  just  outside  of  Harrisburg. 

The  Phi  Gams  seem  to  have  gone 
en  masse  for  the  marines,  and  enrolled 
in  the  officers'  training  school  at  Quan- 
tico,  Va.  Bill  Lesher,  '37;  Don 
Druckemiller,  '38;  Bob  Wilt,  '40;  Tom 
Tosh,    '41,    and    Dick   Creveling,    '41. 


The  first  two  are  commissioned  by 
now.  Lee  ("Bud")  Ranck,  '41,  son 
of  Bucknell  treasurer,  D.  L.  Ranck, 
was  trying  to  make  the  grade  to  get 
into  this  group,  but  because  of  poor 
eyes  was  turned  down  in  Philadelphia 
and  Washington,  and  the  last  I  heard, 
he  was  trying  to  get  in  at  Pittsburgh. 
A  funny  one  happened  to  Larry 
Baiada  and  Emmitt  Steele,  both  ex  '41, 
who  dropped  out  at  the  end  of  their 
sophomore  year.  Unbeknown  to  the 
other,  each  tried  to  enter  the  air  corps, 
and  they  wound  up  out  in  Oklahoma 
as  room-mates!  As  time  went  on, 
they  both  missed  out  in  the  air  corps; 
Emmitt  because  he  lacked  "innate  fly- 
ing ability,"  and  Larry  through  diffi- 
culty with  math.  So  both  went  their 
individual  ways  again.  Larry  went 
home  to  New  Jersey  and  got  a  job, 
while  Emmitt  took  a  naval  reserve 
course  at  Northwestern,  and  came  out 
an  ensign.  He  is  now  stationed  in  Ha- 
waii with  wife  (nee  Fern  Raymond, 
ex  '41)  and  latest  addition,  Thomas 
Emmitt,  Jr.,  born  in  June. 

Imagine  Emmitt's  surprise  while 
watching  a  boat  anchor  in  the  harbor 
in  Hawaii  recently  to  see  leaning  over 
the  rail  waving  at  him  none  other  than 
ex-room-mate,  now  seaman  Lawrence 
Baiada! 

Edwin  Pawley,  ex  '42,  has  been 
drafted  and  put  in  with  the  regular 
army  at  Ft.  Meade.  The  last  I  heard 
he  was  in  Texas  on  maneuvers  with 
them. 

I  recently  had  a  letter  from  Lieu- 
tenant Sanford  Barcus,  '34,  who  is 
now  stationed  at  Fort  Bragg,  N.  O, 
with  Company  D,  67th  Quartermas- 
ter Battalion  (LM).  He  wrote  me 
just  after  returning  from  the  Fort 
Wagner  Motor  Transport  School,  De- 
troit, Michigan,  where  he  had  spent 
four  weeks  studying  at  the  Ford, 
Dodge,  Chevrolet  and  G.  M.  C.  fac- 
tories. His  courses  there  included  spe- 
cialized instruction  in  the  mechanics 
and  construction  of  the  vehicles  being 
built  for  the  U.  S.  Army. 

On  page  19  will  be  found  a  list  of 
men   recently   inducted   into   service. 

As  for  myself,  I've  hit  it  pretty 
lucky  as  far  as  interesting  work  goes. 
The  colonel  in  command  of  our  regi- 
ment decided  to  have  a  glee  club,  and 
accepted  my  offer  to  manage  it  as  a 
statement  that  I  could  direct  it!     All

Bucknellians  in  service  are  request- 
ed to  keep  the  Alumni  Office  in-

rank,  and  special  duties. 


Empire  State  Building 
New  York,  N.  Y. 

Dear  Alumnus: 

During  October  the  membership 
committee  of  the  BISON  CLUB 
will  offer  to  each  Bucknellian  an  op- 
portunity to  join  with  hundreds  of 
others  for  the  betterment  of  our 
University.  If  possible,  a  member 
of  the  committee  will  call  at  your 
office  or  your  home  to  discuss  the 
activities  of  the  Club.  If  personal 
contact  cannot  be  made,  we  hope 
that  we  will  hear  from  you  as  the 
result  of  our  appeal  in  this  issue  of 
the  Alumni  Monthly. 

Bucknell  is  currently  blessed  with 
a  most  capable  administration  of  its 
affairs.  If  you  and  I  wholehearted- 
ly support  this  management,  our 
college  need  have  no  fears  of  the 
future.  Without  our  help  the  prob- 
lems ahead  will  indeed  be  difficult. 

Our  1941  monetary  gifts  to 
Bucknell,  through  the  BISON 
CLUB,  will  immediately  be  en- 
hanced fifty  per  cent,  due  to  the 
generosity  of  our  Club  President 
who  has  offered  to  contribute  one 
dollar  for  each  two  dollars  given  by 
the  membership.  Let's  help  him  be 
exceedingly  generous! 

The  bison  is  distinctly  an  Amer- 
ican animal.  It  is  certainly  fitting 
that  this  club,  pledged  to  support 
Bucknell,  is  named  for  the  Ameri- 
can Bison;  it  is  distinctly  an  Amer- 
ican club  determined  to  help  con- 
tinue in  the  American  way  a  great 
American  institution.  Its  members 
recognize  that  individually  very 
few  will  be  able  to  build  a  monu- 
ment to  endure  the  centuries,  but 
collectively  they  can  help  build  one 
of  the  greatest  monuments — an  in- 
stitution where  future  generations 
will  learn  to  live  together  as  Ameri- 
cans. 

We  are  asking  you  to  place  a 
stone  in  such  an  edifice,  in  October 
— if  possible  before  Homecoming 
Day. 

Sincerely, 

C.  Preston  Dawson,  '24, 
Membership  Chairman  for  Men. 


Kress  Trophy  Is  Awarded  for  Outstanding 
Accomplishments 

By  Ralph  E.  Page,  Dean  of  Men 


For  several  years  the  fraternities  at 
Bucknell  have  been  competing  with 
each  other  for  a  variety  of  trophies. 
Each  of  these  awards  has  been  made 
for  excellence  in  some  particular  field 
of  endeavor,  academic  or  athletic. 

In  the  fall  of  1940,  Mr.  Rush  H. 
Kress,  '00,  one  of  the  outstanding 
friends  of  Bucknell,  suggested  a  new 
type  of  award.  The  Kress  trophy  is 
designed  to  recognize  the  general  con- 
tribution which  our  fraternities  are 
making  to  "the  Bucknell  Way  of 
Life." 

There  are  a  number  of  factors  which 
make  it  difficult  to  measure  contribu- 
tions of  this  sort  fairly.  One  of  the 
most  obvious  problems  results  from 
the  difference  in  size  between  the  va- 
rious chapters.  There  is  also  a  ten- 
dency on  the  part  of  some  groups  to 
specialize  in  some  particular  activity 
to  the  virtual  exclusion  of  all  others. 
This  seems  undesirable  in  that  it  tends 
to  make  the  interests  of  that  particu- 
lar group  lopsided. 

The  idea  which  underlies  the  Kress 
award  is  that  a  well-rounded  program 
of  activities  within  each  fraternity 
chapter  is  desirable.  Such  a  program 
makes  the  fraternities  a  really  signifi- 
cant part  of  BucknelPs  educational 
system.  Consequently,  the  fraternity 
whose  members  participate  most  ac- 
tively in  such  a  well-rounded  program 
has  made  a  valuable  contribution  to 
Bucknell. 

The  Interfraternity  Council  devot- 
ed a  great  deal  of  time  to  the  problem 
of  working  out  a  point  system  which 
would  make  it  possible  for  all  of  the 
chapters  to  compete  for  this  trophy  on 
an  equal  basis.  A  committee  of  the 
Council  worked  out  a  detailed  plan  for 
this  purpose,  and  their  proposal  was 
approved  by  the  entire  Council  at  its 
April  meeting. 

Generally  speaking,  this  point  sys- 
tem is  based  on  three  factors.  In  the 
first  place,  there  is  a  scale  of  values 
which  has  been  arbitrarily  established 
by  the  Interfraternity  Council  for  all 
student  activities.  These  values  have 
been  assigned  on  the  basis  of  the  rela- 
tive importance  of  each  activity  to  the 
school  and  its  students. 

In  the  second  place,  an  attempt  has 
been  made  to  evaluate  the  amount  of 


competition  involved  in  any  given  ac- 
tivity. For  example,  if  ten  men  are 
competing  for  ten  different  positions 
the  attainment  of  one  of  those  posi- 
tions is  not  difficult.  On  the  other 
hand,  if  those  same  ten  men  are  com- 
peting for  the  same  position,  the  per- 
son who  finally  wins  out  deserves  a 
great  deal  of  credit. 

Finally,  there  is  the  chapter  factor 
to  be  considered.  This  is  determined 
by  the  number  of  men  within  each 
chapter  who  participated  in  each  ac- 
tivity. If  five  men  or  less  participate 
this  factor  is  two.  If  six  or  more  take 
part  the  factor  is  four.  Any  chapter 
which  enters  a  full  team  in  any  activi- 
ty receives  a  chapter  factor  of  four. 

The  activities  of  the  University 
have  been  classified  under  four  major 
divisions.  These  divisions  are  athletics, 
scholarship,  extra-curricular  activities, 
and  honorary  societies.  Athletics, 
scholarship,  and  extra-curricular  ac- 
tivities are  each  arbitrarily  evaluated 
at  3  0%.  Honorary  societies  are  evalu- 
ated at  10%. 

On  the  basis  of  the  three  factors 
mentioned  above  every  chapter  re- 
ceives a  raw  score  for  its  participation 
in  each  activity.  The  chapter  having 
the  highest  raw  score  thereby  automat- 
ically acquires  the  appropriate  percent- 
age score.  For  example,  the  fraternity 
receiving  the  highest  raw  score  in  ath- 
letics will  be  immediately  credited  with 
30%.  Each  of  the  other  chapters  will 
receive  the  same  portion  of  30%  that 
their  respective  raw  scores  bear  to  the 
winning  raw  score.  The  total  percent- 
age points  gained  by  each  house  in  each 
of  the  four  divisions  will  then  be  to- 
taled, and  the  house  with  the  largest 
percentage  wins  the  Rush  Kress  Tro- 
phy. 

The  following  activities  are  consid- 
ered as  the  basis  for  the  award:  seven 
varsity  sports;  eight  intramural  sports; 
eleven  forms  of  individual  competition; 
scholarship;  eleven  types  of  extra-cur- 
ricular activity;  and  thirteen  honorary 
societies. 

When  the  Rush  Kress  Trophy  is 
awarded  at  the  Fall  Convocation,  the 
winning  fraternity  can  quite  properly 
give  it  a  prominent  place  in  the  chap- 
ter house.  Truly  it  will  indicate  dis- 
tinguished service  to  Bucknell. 


Football  Prognostications  for  1941 


By  Robert  Streeter,  '58 


If  a  seasoned  first  team  could  charge 
blithely  through  a  nine-game  schedule 
without  needing  substitutions,  Buck- 
nell's  Bisons  might  have  reason  to  look 
forward  to  this  fall's  campaigning 
with  considerable  aplomb — almost  con- 
fidence. 

But  football  being  the  gruelling 
game  it  is,  the  Thundering  Herd's  lack 
of  experienced  reserves  adds  a  warning 
footnote  to  any  statement  of  high 
hopes  that  Bison  followers  might  be 
tempted  to  issue.  Statistically,  here  is 
the  story:  of  the  3  3  men  now  prac- 
ticing in  the  Memorial  Stadium,  21  are 
sophomores. 

This  oversized  contingent  of  athletes 
who  have  yet  to  receive  their  baptism 
of  fire  in  intercollegiate  football  means 
that  almost  anything  can  happen  to 
the  Bucknell  eleven  this  fall.  Spurts 
of  incandescent  play  by  these  sopho- 
mores could  boost  the  Bisons  to  unex- 
pected heights.  On  the  other  hand,  in- 
experience and  immature  playing  judg- 
ment may  prove  a  strong  downward 
drag.  But  one  thing  is  certain,  a  squad 
with  two  sophomores  for  each  veteran 
won't  lack  dash,  spirit,  fight. 

Because  of  its  comparative  youth, 
the  Orange  and  Blue  squad  has  not  yet 
been  seriously  affected  by  the  draft. 
By  the  time  pre-season  drills  began  on 
September  4  only  two  Bisons  had  ex- 
changed their  moleskins  for  military 
uniforms.  They  are  Phil  Van  Sant, 
guard,  and  Howard  Lonergan,  tackle. 
However,  before  the  season  gets  un- 
der way,  others  may  follow,  among 
them  Steve  Sokol,  who  has  been 
groomed  for  the  Number  One  center 
job.  Several  of  the  most  valued  up- 
perclassmen  were  able  to  return  to  col- 
lege because  they  are  enrolled  in  en- 
gineering and  other  technical  courses. 

As  the  opener  with  Lebanon  Valley 
on  September  27  draws  near,  Hum- 
phreys and  his  aide,  Bus  Blum,  who  are 
entering  their  fifth  year  at  Bucknell, 
are  seeking  to  plug  gaps  left  by  the  de- 
parture of  13  lettermen,  including  six 
regulars.  These  half  dozen  vacancies 
are  at  center,  both  guards,  end,  full- 
back, and  quarterback. 

By  judiciously  shifting  the  eight  let- 
terwinning  holdovers  from  last  season, 
topnotch  veteran  contenders  have  been 
found  for  all  but  three  positions.  Crit- 
ical areas  in  the  rebuilding  of  the  team, 
as  they  appear  to  the  Bison  high  com- 
mand, will  be  at  center  and  fullback, 
where  the  melee  for  starting  assign- 
ments may  continue  indefinitely. 

As  things  stand  now,  the  line  posi- 
tions will  be  manned  by  veterans,  ex- 


cept for  right  tackle,  where  Sopho- 
more Walter  Szot  has  at  least  an  even 
chance  of  edging  out  Senior  Charles 
Nagel.  Fred  Kern,  a  stocky,  powerful 
senior,  will  be  back  at  the  other  tackle. 

At  end  Co-Captain  Willard  Gore 
and  Edwin  Glass  will  be  on  hand  again, 
with  Leonard  Miller,  a  newcomer,  ap- 
pearing to  be  the  ablest  -of  the  reserves. 
At  guard  Walter  Bennett  and  Bill  An- 
derson, who  served  as  relief  men  to 
Plewak  and  Priore  last  year,  will  prob- 
ably be  promoted  to  the  first-string 
chores.  Leading  candidates  at  center, 
besides  Sokol,  are  Paul  Burke,  a  squad- 
man  last  year,  and  Bill  Reichert,  a 
sophomore. 

The  shortage  of  seasoned  performers 
will  be  felt  more  seriously  in  the  back- 
field,  where  of  12  candidates  all  ex- 
cept three  are  sophomores.  Co-Cap- 
tain Melvin  Knupp  is  favored  to  con- 
tinue his  triple-threat  duties  at  left 
halfback,  Senior  Walt  Wenrick  looks 
like  a  sure  thing  for  quarterback,  and 
Junior  Chet  Podd  wants  to  be  the 
starting  fullback. 

Outstanding  among  the  sophomore 
backfield  talent  are  Jim  Reichert,  a 
197-pound  six-footer,  who  is  battling 
Podd  at  fullback,  and  three  speed 
merchants  who  are  squabbling  among 
themselves  at  right  halfback:  Frank 
DeAngelis,  Albert  Magagna,  and  Glenn 
Burkholder.  If  Humphreys  finds  it 
advisable  to  use  the  experienced  Knupp 
at  fullback,  a  versatile  sophomore,  Al- 
bert Kazary,  will  be  inserted  at  left 
halfback.  Two  other  newcomers,  Ed- 
ward McGowan  and  Paul  deBenedictis, 
will  be  capable  substitutes  for  Quar- 
terback Wenrick. 

The  Bison  coaches  hope  to  weld  this 
sophomore-studded  squad  into  an  ef- 
fective aggregation  in  time  for  the 
trio  of  "crucial"  games  with  Penn 
State,  Boston  University,  and  Temple 
which  follow  each  other  on  successive 
October  week-ends.  At  the  same  time 
they  are  expecting  nothing  but  trouble 
from  the  two  early-season  foes,  Leba- 
non Valley  and  Muhlenberg,  particu- 
larly the  latter. 

In  the  athletic  highlight  of  Home- 
coming on  October  18,  Boston  Univer- 
sity will  provide  the  sternest  kind  of 
test  for  the  Orange  and  Blue.  The 
much-improved  Terriers,  whose  foot- 
ball fortunes  have  been  in  the  ascen- 
dancy for  the  past  several  seasons,  last 
year  whipped  by  a  37-0  score  the  same 
Western  Maryland  team  which  held 
Bucknell  to  a  scoreless  deadlock.  Bos- 
ton University  also  fought  Boston  Col-

Dear  Alumna: 

Frequently,  I  have  heard  Buck- 
nell Women  express  a  warm  desire 
to  help  our  Alma  Mater.  Almost 
always  the  discussion  ends  on  a 
somewhat  sad  note — "but  anything 
I  can  do  is  so  small  that  it  seems 
immaterial."  To  you  women  who 
have  such  a  point  of  view,  the  Bison 
Club  will  have  a  strong  appeal. 

This  Club  has  been  formed  to 
unite  alumni  support  in  a  manner 
which  permits  each  of  us  to  become 
an  important  part  in  a  major  move- 
ment for  the  good  of  our  Universi- 
ty. It  gives  us  an  opportunity  to 
give  as  much  of  our  services  as  we 
desire,  and  to  give  a  small  amount 
of  our  substance  each  year. 

An  individual  gift  of  ten  dollars 
standing  alone  does  appear  small  and 
of  little  value  to  Bucknell,  but 
when  multiplied  by  a  thousand  or 
more,  we  can  visualize  a  huge  sum 
available  for  great  purposes.  Think 
of  the  startling  total  if  each  of  our 
nine  thousand  graduates  joined  in 
such  a  movement! 

Results  such  as  these  depend  en- 
tirely upon  you  as  an  individual, 
and  you  may  rightfully  feel  that 
your  individual  participation  has 
made  a  large  gift  to  Bucknell  pos- 
sible. 

When  a  Bison  Club  member  calls 

upon   you   in   October   to   tell   you 

about   this  great   movement,  please 

keep  in  mind  that  your  individual 

participation     is     vital — that     the 

chain  will  be  long  and  strong  only 

if   there   are  many  links,   and  that 

only   through  the   goodness  of   the 

individual  can  the  greater  good  be 

realized. 

Sincerely, 

Emma  E.  Dillon,  '15, 
Membership  Chairman  for  Women. 


Director  of  Athletics, 

Or.  B.  W.  Griffith.  '99 


Says: 


For  many  years  it  has  been  my 
pleasure  to  serve  on  the  Athletic 
Council  and  for  nearly  as  many  as 
Director  of  Athletics.  It  has  been  a 
most  interesting  job  but  sometimes  a 
trying  one.  When  some  team  had  an 
off  season.  I  was  frequently  asked  by 
alumni:  "Why  didn't  we  do  better?" 
"What's  wrong  with  Bucknell  ath- 
letics?" 

Well,  the  questions  were  not  easy 
to  answer.  One  cause  was.  of  course, 
lack  of  adequate  funds:  another,  lack 
of  adequate  manpower;  and  still  an- 
other, lack  of  proper  facilities.  Dur- 
ing the  past  several  years  facilities 
had  been  improved,  but  the  problems 
were  not  near  final  solution  until  the 
Bison  Club  was  conceived. 

The  most  important  phase  in  the 
development  and  successful  pursuit 
of  the  athletic  program  is  found  in 
two  words — "alumni  support."  Per- 
haps three  words  would  be  better — 
"organized  alumni  support."  The 
Bison  Club  brings  to  Bucknell  this 
most  essential  help.  With  groups  of 
interested  alumni  located  in  many 
communities,  with  these  groups 
pledged  to  support  our  athletic  ac- 
tivities, we  will  be  sent  able  young 
athletes  who  can  measure  up  to  our 
standards. 

It  is  my  hope  that  Bison  Club  mem- 
bers in  each  community  will  organize 
themselves  locally.  I  hope  they  will 
hold  meetings  periodically  and  make 
these  meetings  real  business  sessions 
in  which  they  will  discuss  the  prob- 
lem of  recruiting  students  for  Buck- 
nell. I'm  sure  that  such  a  local  group 
of  Bisons  would  know  many  of  the 
high  school  seniors  and  could  devise 
ways  of  becoming  acquainted  with 
others.  I'm  also  sure  that  by  com- 
ing together  for  such  discussions  each 
would  help  to  inspire  the  others  to 
take  action  and  approach  these  boys 
before  alumni  of  other  colleges  had 
persuaded  them  to  go  some  place 
other  than  Bucknell. 

The  good  that  can  come  to  Bucknell 
and  to  Bucknellians  through  the  help 
of  local  Bison  Club  groups  is  im- 
measurable. It  is  my  belief  that  hun- 
dreds of  alumni  have  been  awaiting 
this  opportunity  to  play  a  larger  part 
in  Bucknell  activities.

A  Message  to  the  Alumni 

By  E.  A.  Snyder,  11 
Past  President,  General  Alumni  Association 


During  the  past  six  years  of  active 
work  with  the  New  York  and  New 
Jersey  groups  of  the  Metropolitan 
Alumni  Associations  and  during  the 
past  two  years  as  President  of  the  Gen- 
eral Alumni  Association,  ample  oppor- 
tunity was  provided  for  me  to  observe 
the  good  things  that  alumni  have  ac- 
complished and  are  accomplishing  for 
Bucknell.  I  would  like  to  enumerate 
a  few  of  these  accomplishments. 

The  aid  rendered  our  Director  of 
Admissions  by  the  members  of  the 
thirty-eight  active  alumni  groups  has 
increased  the  number  of  applications 
for  admission  and  has  helped  to  raise 
the  scholarship  standard  of  our  matric- 
ulates. Increased  activity  of  our  local 
associations  in  the  number  of  their 
yearly  meetings,  with  more  worthwhile 
programs,  has  awakened  a  new  enthu- 
siasm in  a  large  group  of  alumni  to  do 
things  for  Bucknell.  The  increased 
interest  in  the  work  of  the  Athletic 
Council  and  the  constructive  results 
it  has  accomplished  during  the  past 
few  years,  the  formation  of  the  new 
Bison  Club  to  assist  the  Council  in 
solving  its  age-old  financial  problems, 
the  sponsorship  by  local  associations  of 
Bucknell  scholarships,  the  compiling 
and  adoption  of  new  By-Laws  to  gov- 
ern the  General  Association,  etc.,  have 
all  resulted  from  a  greater  alumni  in- 
terest and  enthusiasm.  Most  impor- 
tant of  all  is  that  there  has  been  devel- 
oped a  contagious,  greater  justifiable 
pride,  among  all  alumni,  in  the  accom- 
plishments of  Bucknell  and  its  gradu- 
ates. Many  non-Bucknell  men  and 
women  have  been  exposed  to  this  con- 
tagious enthusiasm  and  have  acquired 
the  same  laudable  disease. 

Yes,  Bucknell  has  profited  by  our 
interest,  our  enthusiasm,  and  our  work, 
but  there  are  so  many  more  things  we 
alumni    could    and    should    be    doing. 


Probably  the  most  pressing  of  these  is 
the  matter  of  financing  our  Bucknell 
Alumni  Monthly.  The  cost  of  prepar- 
ing and  mailing  one  issue  of  out- 
monthly  magazine  to  all  alumni  is  ap- 
proximately $950.00.  About  four  is- 
sues per  year  are  being  sent,  and  the 
University  has  assumed  the  entire  ex- 
pense. It  is  our  official  alumni  publica- 
tion; therefore,  we  alumni  should  take 
steps  to  assume  this  financial  obliga- 
tion. As  a  step  in  this  direction  each 
one  of  the  thirty-eight  local  alumni 
associations  could  decide  this  year  to 
donate  to  this  cause  a  sum  of  money 
proportionate  to  their  membership  by 
assessing  each  member  a  certain  fixed 
portion  of  their  local  dues.  This 
brings  to  our  attention  another  impor- 
tant matter;  namely,  that  of  the  ex- 
pense involved  in  sending  and  prepar- 
ing club  notices.  For  many  years  the 
Alumni  Office  at  Bucknell  has  been  as- 
suming the  expenses  of  preparing  and 
mailing  notices  of  meetings  of  the  lo- 
cal associations.  When  we  realize  that 
the  expenses  of  the  Alumni  Office,  in- 
cluding the  salaries  of  the  Alumni  Sec- 
retary and  his  staff,  are  paid  entirely 
by  the  University,  it  seems  an  imposi- 
tion to  also  ask  them  to  pay  expenses 
incurred  by  the  meeting  of  alumni 
clubs.  Could  not  all  local  associations 
collect  yearly  dues  and  apply  part  of 
the  proceeds  to  paying  the  expenses  of 
their  local  meetings  and  use  the  balance 
towards  the  publication  of  the  Alumni 
Monthly  or  some  other  worthy  project 
for  Bucknell? 

Bucknell  also  needs  a  vocational  di- 
rectory of  its  alumni.  The  directory 
entitled,  Your  College  Friends,  issued 
by  the  Alumni  Office  in  1940,  was  an 
excellent  and  worthwhile  accomplish- 
ment. We  now  need  a  directory  of 
our  graduates,  which  will  list  teachers; 
electrical,  chemical,  mechanical,  and 
civil  engineers;  commerce  and  finance 
graduates;  ministers;  and  other  occu- 
pational groups.  This  would  be  a  val- 
uable aid  to  the  establishment  of  a  co- 
ordinated placement  bureau.  One  of 
these  days  the  world  will  emerge  from 
its  present  chaotic  condition,  and 
Bucknell  graduates,  with  others,  will 
be  struggling  to  obtain  employment. 
We  should  have  an  active  Alumni 
Placement  Bureau  working  with  the 
University  Placement  Bureau,  and  a 
directory  of  this  kind  would  be  an  in- 
valuable aid. 

Finally,  Bucknell  will  be  100  years 
old  in  1946.  Will  our  General  Alum- 
ni Association  let  this  historic  occasion 


pass  without  presenting  its  Alma  Mater 
with  a  commensurate  Birthday  gift? 
We  have  over  9,000  alumni.  A  plan 
could  be  prepared  to  solicit  from  each 
one,  between  now  and  1946,  a  small  or 
large  contribution  to  a  birthday  fund. 
We  should  be  able  to  raise  a  sizable 
sum  in  this  manner.  Even  if  each 
alumnus  presented  but  one  dollar  each 
year  for  the  next  five  years,  we  could 
raise  $45,000.  Whatever  we  could 
raise  would  surely  provide  a  worth- 
while and  suitable  alumni  memorial  for 
the  occasion.  The  University  has  re- 
cently issued  a  bulletin  entitled  "Buck- 
nell Looks  Toward  Its  Centennial,"  in 
which  are  listed  many  things  our  Alma 
Mater  needs.  Why  should  not  our 
General  Alumni  Association,  for  this 
100th  year  gift,  provide  one  or  more 
of  these  needs  that  will  aid  her  in  her 
continued  service  to  our  sons  and 
daughters. 

There  seems  to  be  a  lot  of  "giving" 
in  this  message — giving  of  labor,  ser- 
vice, thought,  and  money — but  a  real 
alumnus  of  any  college  is  one  who  loves 
his  Alma  Mater;  and  the  measure  of  the 
deepness  of  that  love  is  the  amount  of 
thought,  labor,  service,  and  financial 
help  that  is  willingly  and  gratefully 
given.  We  cannot  measure  what  our 
Alma  Mater  so  unstintingly  gave  us. 
May  we  in  turn  be  unstinting  in  what 
we  give  to  her. 


Applications  This  Year  Exceeded 
All  Previous  Years 

Through  the  unusual  and  enthusias- 
tic support  the  alumni  and  friends  of 
Bucknell  have  given  the  Student  Ad- 
missions Program,  more  students  ap- 
plied for  admission  to  the  freshman 
class  this  year  than  in  any  other  year 
of  BucknelPs  history.  Also,  because 
of  an  anticipated  loss  of  men  students 
due  to  the  Selective  Service  System, 
more  students  have  been  admitted  than 
usual,  making  this  year's  freshman 
class  the  largest. 

Four  years  ago  President  Marts 
asked  the  co-operation  of  alumni  and 
requested  their  support  of  the  Student 
Admissions  Program  then  being  estab- 
lished. The  response  of  the  alumni 
has  been  so  unusual  that  applications 
have  increased  65%  during  the  four 
years.  The  larger  number  of  applica- 
tions makes  it  possible  for  Bucknell  to 
be  more  selective  in  the  admission  of 
students  and  to  constantly  improve  the 
general  standing  of  the  student  body.

that  you  too  are  setting  aside  this  date  to  join  the  others  in 
their  homeward  march  toward  the  college  they  love. 

The  Homecoming  Day  program  is  filled  with  events  to

night. The  Bison  Club  breakfast  will  be  held  at  Hotel 
Lewisburger  at  9:00  A.  M.  The  Alumni  Day  parade  will

the  best  attended  dances  of  the  college  year. 


Many  Returned  for  Alumni  Day 

(Continued  from  Page  2) 

Members  of  the  reunion  classes  who  were  present  met 
in  that  section  of  the  dining  hall  reserved  for  their  partic- 
ular class.  These  five  year  classes,  ranging  from  1891  to 
1936,  were  well  attended.  Eight  members  of  the  fifty- 
year  class — five  women  and  three  men — were  present.  They 
were  Mrs.  Samuel  Border,  nee  Mary  Rogers;  Mrs.  Susanna 
Stapleton  Brubaker;  Mrs.  D.  M.  Sampsell,  nee  Emma  Hy- 
man;  Mrs.  D.  A.  Solly,  nee  Mary  Kreamer;  Mrs.  Maze  Pell- 
man  Glover;  Dr.  George  E.  Fisher;  the  Rev.  Mr.  I.  S.  Han- 
kins;  and  the  Rev.  Mr.  Claude  G.  Langford.  These  persons 
received  special  recognition  and  the  five  alumnae  were  pre- 
sented with  pins.  Miss  Ida  Frick,  '76,  Mr.  Ira  D.  Mallery, 
'86,  and  Mrs.  Eugene  Fry,  nee  Mary  I.  Frear,  a  member  of 
the  class  of  1881,  were  also  honored. 

The  reunion  class  having  the  most  members  present  was 
the  class  of  1916,  which  celebrated  its  twenty-fifth  anni- 
versary. Approximately  thirty-five  members  and  a  large 
number  of  guests  met  on  the  sun-porch  adjoining  the  main 
dining  hall  and  had  a  very  successful  luncheon  meeting 
of  their  own.  Greetings  were  read  from — Cyrus  Follmer, 
Berlin,  Germany;  Col.  Burton  Lewis,  Honolulu,  Hawaii; 
Major  Henry  Wolf,  Fort  Leonard  Wood,  Missouri;  and 
Margaret  Waddell  Brandon,  Austin,  Texas — 1916  gradu- 
ates who  were  too  far  away  to  attend  their  class  reunion. 
Tribute  was  paid  to  those  members  of  the  class  who  had 
passed  away  during  the  past  year. 


New  Lights  Given  By  the 
Class  of  1940 

Bucknellians  returning  usually  observe  the  im- 
proved lighting  system  on  the  campus  and  express 
satisfaction  over  the  changes.  Light  standards 
have  been  installed  in  front  of  Old  Main.  As  you 
probably  will  recall,  that  part  of  the  campus  was 
very  dark  and  the  old  lights  were  inadequate.  Oth- 
er standards  have  been  placed  along  the  path  from 
the  Chemistry  Building  to  Old  Main.  The  instal- 
lation of  the  new  lights  was  made  possible  through 
a  gift  of  the  class  of  1940. 

Other  lights  had  been  installed  from  the  Sigma 
Chi  House  to  the  Men's  Gymnasium  through  a 
gift  of  the  class  of  1928. 

Class  gifts  such  as  these  are  greatly  appreciated 
and  help  to  complete  the  plans  for  a  general  beau- 
tification  of  the  campus  before  the  Centennial 
Celebration  in  1946.  It  has  been  suggested  that 
other  classes  desiring  to  make  gifts  should  consult 
with  officers  of  the  University  so  they  can  select 
a  needed  improvement. 


During     the     General     Alumni     and    Alumnae 
Luncheon  in  the  main  Dining  Hall,  a  special  pro- 
gram   consisting    of    greetings    from    Dr.    Arnaud 
C.  Marts,  Bucknell's  beloved  president;   greetings 
from  Mr.  E.  A.  Snyder,  1940-1941  president  of  the 
General  Alumni  Association;   greetings  from  Mr. 
L.  Francis  Lybarger,  Jr.,  alumni  secretary;  and  sev- 
eral selections  from  the  Men's  Glee  Club  Quartet. 
The  various  speakers  were  fittingly  introduced  by  Mrs.  M.  L. 
Drum,    '98,   toastmistress.     After  the  program   was   com- 
pleted, a  business  meeting  of  the  General  Alumni  Associa- 
tion  was  conducted  by  Mr.  E.  A.  Snyder,   '11,   at  which 
time  the  new  By-Laws  of  the  General  Alumni  Association 
were  adopted. 

Following  the  luncheon,  the  Assembly  of  the  General 
Alumni  Association  had  its  first  business  meeting,  and  at 
3  o'clock  a  social  hour  for  all  Bucknellians  was  held  in 
Larison  Hall  Living  Room.  Refreshments  were  served  by 
several  members  of  the  Alumnae  Association. 

In  the  evening  the  fraternity  and  sorority  symposia  were 
followed  by  Cap  and  Dagger's  presention  of  "Margin  for 
Error."  When  the  curtain  was  closed  at  the  end  of  the 
final  act,  Bucknell's  1941  Alumni  Day  activities  were 
brought  to  an  end.

We're  in  the  Army  Now 

(Continued  from  Page  5) 

protests  to  no  avail,  I'm  now  directing 
a  forty-voice  glee  club,  and  we've  been 
touring  all  over  the  state  of  Maryland 
for  the  last  month  giving  concerts. 
Each  time  I'm  introduced  as  a  musi- 
cian I  get  an  awful  urge  to  shout  the 
truth  so  those  who  may  know  me 
won't  feel  I'm  sailing  under  false  col- 
ors. I  did  take  a  firm  stand  (as  "firm" 
as  a  buck  private  can),  however,  when 
one  over-zealous  publicity  man  re- 
ferred to  me  as  a  former  glee  club  "in- 
structor" at  Bucknell!!!  Picture  that 
— me  hardly  able  to  tell  a  sharp  from 
a  flat.  They  always  add  that,  "for- 
merly of  Bucknell,  etc.,"  and  it  makes 
me  feel  mighty  proud.  Professor  Le- 
Mon  would  be  proud,  too,  if  he  could 
hear  us.  I've  got  'em  singing  the  same 
music  in  the  same  way  we  used  to,  and 
though  it's  not  as  good,  it's  plenty 
loud,  and  they  go  at  it  with  enthusi- 
asm. 

Dr.  Stolz  was  particularly  helpful 
in  sending  us  some  music,  and  offer- 
ing more  aid  if  we  needed  it. 

There's  quite  a  difference  in  doing  a 
series  of  concerts  on  the  straw-hat  cir- 
cuit as  part  of  the  army,  and  doing  all 
those  formal  evening  church  concerts 
in  college.  We  sing  to  huge  audiences 
sometimes  (ten  and  fifteen  thousand) 
so  I'm  glad  they've  been  outdoors  with 
some  distractions. 

Producer  Gene  Ford  heard  us  and 
has  decided  to  build  the  new  29th  Di- 
vision show,  "Snap  It  Up  Again," 
around  our  glee  club,  so  you  all  can 
see  there's  work  to  be  done.  Should 
you  hear  of  it  in  Baltimore,  Washing- 
ton, Norfolk  or  Richmond  in  Septem- 
ber, drop  in  and  see  us.  Meanwhile, 
to  most  of  you — Best  of  luck,  and  to 
the  rest — See  you  in  the  Army.

great     singers     aspire — an     established 
place  in  the  Metropolitan  Opera  Com- 
pany." 

To  Frederick  W.  Hankins,  chief  of 
motive  power  for  the  Pennsylvania 
Railroad  system  and  assistant  vice- 
president  of  the  Pennsylvania  Railroad, 
went  the  degree  of  Doctor  of  Science. 
"His  career  shows  the  remarkable  self- 
advancement  of  a  man  of  character, 
industry,  and  genius." 

The  sixth  recipient  of  an  honorary 
degree  was  the  Rev.  J.  Earle  Edwards, 
'10,  pastor  of  the  Queen's  Village,  N. 
Y.,  Baptist  Church.  When  bestowing 
the  degree  of  Doctor  of  Divinity  upon 
Mr.  Edwards,  President  Marts  said, 
"Bucknell  is  proud  that  you  chose  to 
dedicate  your  life  to  spiritual  aims  and 
is  grateful  for  the  service  one  of  her 
sons  has  rendered  to  God  and  to  hu- 
manity." 

In  the  picture  (Page  3)  the  six  hon- 
orary degree  recipients  are  standing

more  than  a  half,  before  succumbing 
to  a  last-minute  Eagle  flurry.  Virtu- 
ally the  same  team,  man  for  man,  will 
be  in  action  for  the  New  Englanders 
against  Bucknell. 

Speaking  of  schedules,  alumni  will 
be  interested  to  know  that  the  1942 
football  team  will  play  Rutgers,  La- 
fayette, and  Carnegie  Tech,  as  well  as 
the  usual  traditional  foes.  The  Home- 
coming game  will  be  with  Lafayette 
on  October  31.  As  a  matter  of  fact, 
an  attractive  array  of  Homecoming 
tilts  has  been  arranged  far  into  the  fu- 
ture. Here's  the  Homecoming  lineup: 
1943,  Lafayette  again;  1944,  Rutgers; 
1945,  Penn  State. 

These  future  engagements,  however, 
are  not  worrying  the  Bisons,  who  have 
only  one  preoccupation — the  season  of 
1941.

1888 

On  June  17,  1941,  Dr.  William  M. 
Woodward,  dean  of  doctors  at  the  Mc- 
Keesport  Hospital  and  a  member  of  the 
Institution's  staff  since  1896,  died  at  his 
home  in  McKeesport  after  an  illness  of 
three  weeks. 

Dr.  Woodward  was  recently  awarded 
a  medal  by  the  Pennsylvania  Medical 
Society  for  a  half-century  of  active  ser- 
vice as  a  physician.  He  was  a  member 
of  the  State  and  American  Medical  As- 
sociations and  the  Allegheny  County 
Medical  Society.  He  was  former  presi- 
dent of  the  McKeesport  Academy  of 
Medicine. 

A  large  group  of  friends  and  relatives 
paid  tribute  to  the  Rev.  George  W.  Hatch 
who  died  at  Bells  Landing,  Pa.,  on  July 
31.  1941.  After  being  graduated  from 
Bucknell  University,  Mr.  Hatch  con- 
tinued his  training  for  the  ministry  at 
Crozer  Theological  Seminary.  In  1888 
he  was  ordained  and  during  the  next 
fifty  years  ministered  throughout  East- 
ern Pennsylvania. 

John  Young  Sehreyer,  retired  Milton 
merchant,  passed  away  in  the  Jefferson 
Hospital,  Philadelphia,  on  July  23,  1941. 

Mr.  Sehreyer  was  born  on  October  17, 
1869.  He  received  his  early  education 
at  the  old  Milton  Academy  and  was 
graduated  from  Bucknell  University  in 
1888.  After  leaving  college,  he  was  af- 
filiated with  the  Milton  Iron  Company, 
but  later  he  entered  his  father's  mercan- 
tile business.  After  the  death  of  his 
father,  Mr.  Sehreyer  and  his  brother 
took  over  the  Sehreyer  Store  Company 
of  which  Mr.  Sehreyer  was  president 
until  it  went  out  of  business  several 
years  ago. 

1897 

Mrs.  Eleanor  Potter  Weirich,  talented 
vocalist  and  music  teacher,  died  on 
March  14,  1941,  at  Philadelphia,  as  the 
result  of  injuries  received  in  an  auto- 
mobile accident  on  January  24. 

Mrs.  Weirich  spent  the  early  part  of 
her  life  in  Southeastern  Pennsylvania. 
She  came  to  the  Bucknell  Institute  in 
1895  and  two  years  later  received  her 
diploma  from  the  School  of  Music.  Fol- 
lowing her  graduation,  she  accepted  a 
position  at  the  Perkiomen  School,  Penns- 
burg,  and  was  connected  with  this  school 
for  more  than  thirty  years. 

In  1900  she  became  the  wife  of  Prof. 
Charles  B.  Weirich,  and  for  many  years 
they  conducted  a  music  conservatory 
in    their    home.      They    specialized    in 


voice  and  piano.  During  Mrs.  Weirich's 
active  career,  she  assisted  many  talented 
persons,  and  some  of  her  students 
achieved  fame  as  vocalists.  The  most 
outstanding  one  is  Austin  Hughes,  tenor, 
who  achieved  membership  in  the  Metro- 
politan Opera  Company,  but  who  soon 
resigned  to  enter  the  field  of  sacred 
music.

in  Reading.  From  1900  to  1916  he  was 
employed  in  civil  service  work  at  Ma- 
nila, and  from  1917  to  1931  he  was  em-

1904 

Curtis  C.  Lesher,  judge  of  the  Seven- 
teenth Judicial  District,  died  on  July  5, 
1941,  as  the  result  of  a  cerebral  hemor- 
rhage which  he  suffered  while  at  the 
Geisinger  Hospital  where  he  had  been 
confined  for  three  weeks  preceding  his 
death.  Judge  Lesher  was  first  stricken 
while  he  was  returning  from  Mifflin- 
town  where  he  had  been  visiting  friends. 

After  Judge  Lesher  was  graduated 
from  Bucknell  University  in  1904,  he 
taught  school  in  Union  County,  Penn- 
sylvania, for  several  years  and  during 
that  time  read  law  at  the  office  of  Col. 
W.  R.  Follmer.  He  was  admitted  to  the 
Union  County  Bar  in  1910,  and  in  1915 
his  political  career  began  when  he  was 
elected  as  Union  County  District  At- 
torney. He  served  in  that  office  for 
four  successive  terms.  He  became  presi- 
dent judge  of  the  Seventeenth  Judicial 
District  in  1932  and  he  held  that  posi- 
tion until  his  death. 

In  addition  to  fulfilling  his  regular 
judicial  duties.  Judge  Lesher  also  loyal- 
ly served  the  community  in  which  he 
lived.  For  twelve  years  he  served  as 
president  of  the  Lewisburg  Gas  Com- 
pany and  as  a  member  of  the  board  of 
directors  of  that  firm.  He  was  also  a 
member  of  the  board  of  directors  of 
the  Lewisburg  National  Bank  for  eight- 

20 


een  years,  and  was  secretary  of  the  Lew- 
isburg Cemetery  Association.  He  be- 
longed to  the  Williamsport  Consistory, 
the  Odd  Fellows,  the  Union  County  Bar 
Association,  and  the  Royal  Arcanum 
lodge.  As  final  tributes  to  Judge  Lesher 
the  Union  County  Bar  Association  and 
the  House  of  Representatives  at  Harris- 
burg  each  adopted  a  resolution  in  his 
honor. 

1907 

Spencer  T.  Harris,  son  of  the  late  Dr. 
John  Howard  Harris,  died  very  suddenly 
on  March  10  as  a  result  of  a  heart  attack 
which  he  suffered  as  he  was  driving 
along  a  Philadelphia  street.  Apparently 
he  felt  the  attack  coming  on  while  driv- 
ing, for  he  steered  his  car  to  the  curb 
only  to  die  a  few  moments  later. 

Mr.  Harris  was  a  native  of  Lewisburg. 
He  received  three  degrees  at  Bucknell 
University — in  1907,  an  A.B.  degree;  in 
1908.  a  Master  of  Arts  degree;  and  in 
1912,  a  Master  of  Science  degree.  For 
the  past  four  years  he  had  been  a  resi- 
dent of  Centralia,  but  had  been  unem- 
ployed since  the  closing  of  the  Centralia 
Colliery  two  years  ago.  Interment  was 
made  in  the  local  cemetery. 

The  death  of  John  L.  Minor,  of  29  Six- 
teenth Avenue.  San  Matio,  California,

killed  near  Waco,  Texas,  when  their 
automobile  collided  head  on  with  a 
truck.  Mr.  Long,  formerly  a  resident  of 
Sunbury,  Pa.,  went  to  Bucknell  and  af- 
ter completing  a  four-year  course  was 
employed  by  the  Pennsylvania  Railroad. 
He  received  various  promotions  until  he 
was  advanced  to  the  position  of  division 
engineer  of  the  Fort  Wayne  division, 
in  Indiana,  five  years  ago. 

Mr.  Long  took  an  active  interest  in  the 
affairs  of  his  community.  He  was  a 
member  of  the  Fort  Wayne  Rotary  Club 
and  Country  Club.  He  was  affiliated 
with  Masonic  bodies  in  the  various 
cities  in  which  he  lived.

Three  1884  graduates— Mrs.  Margaret 
Kane  Petitte,  of  Los  Angeles;  Miss  Anne 
Williams,  of  Long  Beach.  California;  and 
Mrs.  Elizabeth  Griffin  Hare,  of  Pasadena 
— had  a  reunion  in  California  last  win- 
ter. 

1891 

Coincidence  again  played  a  strange 
trick  upon  two  human  beings.  After  a 
forty-year  separation  two  schoolmates, 
Mrs.  Edward  M.  Greene,  nee  Caroline 
K.  Wittenmyer,  and  Mrs.  Joseph  Clark, 
nee  Winifred  Patchin,  '95,  met  in  McAl- 
len,  Texas,  in  March.  During  the  past 
forty  years  they  have  both  lived  in 
Pennsylvania — the  former  in  Hunting- 
don; the  latter  in  Glen  Campbell,  just 
one  hundred  and  fifty  miles  apart— but 
2100  miles  away  from  their  native  state 
they  met  in  the  lobby  of  the  Casa  de 
Palmas  Hotel.  Mrs.  Greene  and  Mrs. 
Clark  had  been  students  together  for 
three  years  at  the  Bucknell  Institute 
but  had  lost  trace  of  each  other  until 
their  unexpected  meeting  several  months 
ago. 

1892 

On  December  30,  1940,  the  "Eri  Hul- 
bert  Wyant  Memorial  Fund"  was  for- 
mally established  by  Dr.  A.  R.  E.  Wyant 
in  memory  of  his  infant  son.  Dr.  Wyant 
contributed  two  initial  gifts  of  $500 
each  to  initiate  his  plan.  The  fund  is 
to  be  a  permanent  endowment  fund  of 
the  Young  Men's  Christian  Association, 
the  income  of  which  will  be  used  for 
such  purposes  as  Dr.  Wyant  may  desig- 
nate. 

Dr.  Wyant  has  long  been  identified 
with  the  work  of  the  Young  Men's  Chris- 
tian Association.  His  first  connection 
with  this  organization  was  while  he  was 
a  student  member  at  Bucknell.  When 
he  later  went  to  the  University  of  Chi- 
cago in  1892,  he  came  under  the  in- 
fluence of  the  student  Y.  M.  C.  A.  lead- 
ers of  that  day. 

Dr.  Wyant  was  not  only  active  in  the 
affairs  of  this  association,  but  he  was 
also  a  tennis  champion  and  captain  of 
the  football  team  at  the  University  of 
Chicago  in  1893.  He  was  cartooned  by 
Ripley  for  having  played  ninety-eight 
intercollegiate  games  at  Bucknell  and 
Chicago  without  missing  one  minute  of 
play. 

After  Dr.  Wyant's  graduation  from  the 
University  of  Chicago  with  honors,  he 
became  minister  of  the  Morgan  Park 
Baptist  Church.  While  in  college,  he 
had  taken  one  year  of  pre-medical  work 
and  was  so  much  interested  in  it  that 
he  finished  his  medical  studies  at  forty 
years  of  age  and  for  over  thirty  years 
has  been  a  successful  physician. 

1894 

At  the  annual  convention  of  the  Gen- 
eral Federation  of  Business  and  Profes- 
sional Women's  Clubs  in  Atlantic  City,

dent of  the  Federal  Institution  for  Wo- 
men at  Alderson,  West  Virginia,  was 
awarded  the  organization's  golden  scroll 
of  honor  for  being  America's  outstand- 
ing  woman   penologist.     Since   her   re- 


tirement as  superintendent  of  the  Fed- 
eral Institution,  Dr.  Harris  has  been  re- 
siding at  3  Market  Street,  Lewisburg, 
Pa.,  where  she  is  leading  a  quiet  life.

summa  cum  laude.  During  his  last  two 
and  a  half  years  at  college,  he  served 
as  a  minister  for  a  circuit  of  rural 
churches.  In  1904  he  received  his  Mas- 
ter of  Arts  degree  from  Bucknell,  and 
in  1906  he  was  graduated  from  Crozer 
Theological  Seminary  with  a  B.D.  de- 
gree. That  same  year  Dr.  Williams  ac- 
cepted the  pastorate  of  the  Alpha  Bap- 
tist Church  where  he  has  been  doing 
an  excellent  piece  of  work.  In  addi-

has  been  a  prolific  writer  of  discussion 
and  teaching  materials  and  is  the  author 
of  "Stars  of  the  Morning."

To  Friends  of 
Athletics: 


In  my  joint  capacity  as  Assistant 
Director  of  Athletics  and  Football 
Coach,  I  doubly  appreciate  the  ef- 
forts and  accomplishments  of  the 
Bison  Club. 

While  financial  support  of  the  ath- 
letic program  is  of  itself  important, 
there  is  another  function  of  the  Club 
which  to  a  football  coach  is  equally 
important  and  that  is  to  help  recruit 
good  men. 

Our  high  schools  and  preparatory 
schools  turn  out  yearly  hundreds  of 
athletes.  They  are  not,  of  course,  all 
potential  Bucknellians  for  many  can- 
not measure  up  to  our  scholastic  re- 
quirements. But  many  of  these  ath- 
letes are  good  students  who  serious- 
ly desire  a  college  education. 

How  can  I  find  such  men?  How 
can  I  meet  them  and  tell  them  why 
they  should  seek  a  degree  at  Buck- 
nell? That  is  a  major  problem,  and 
the  Bison  Club  offers  the  most  prac- 
tical answer — club  members  can  find 
these  boys  and  bring  me  in  touch 
with  them. 

Equally  important,  though,  is  your 
help  in  following  up  initial  contacts 
by  explaining  to  these  young  men 
in  your  home  communities  the  un- 
usual advantages  of  Bucknell.  As 
you  know,  we  are  not  interested  in 
the  football  man  whose  horizon  is 
bounded  by  the  limits  of  the  playing 
field.  The  type  of  player  we  want, 
the  man  who  will  be  an  asset  to  his 
college  in  all  ways,  can  best  be  con- 
vinced of  Bucknell's  merits  when 
they  are  presented  to  him  by  alumni 
like  you  whom  he  knows  and  re- 
spects. 

May  I  ask  you  who  are  members 
and  you  who  will  soon  become  mem- 
bers of  the  club  to  help  build  win- 
ning teams  at  Bucknell  by  putting 
me  in  touch  with  good  athletes  of 
high  intelligence  and  desirable  char- 
acter. 

Yours  for  healthy  sports, 

A.  E.  HUMPHREYS.

Church  of  Pennsauken,  N.  J.  Later  he 
was  called  to  become  a  home  missionary 
pastor  of  the  Hungarian  Baptist  Church 
of  West  Pullman.  Here  he  conducted 
services  in  two  languages.  Mr.  Kontz 
next  served  the  Baptist  denomination  in 
Chicago.  In  1937  he  was  called  to  the 
congregation  Lincoln  Park  pastorate 
where  he  has  encouraged  the  congre- 
gation to  make  Lincoln  Park  both  a 
strong  church  and  a  social  center.  Since 
his  coming,  the  attendance  and  interest 
has  increased  and  the  finances  of  the 
church  have  been  greatly  improved.  A 
valuable  service  was  accomplished  by 
the  church  recently  in  conducting  a  re- 
ligious census  of  Laurel  Homes,  a  neigh- 
boring housing  project.

To  all  Bucknellians — alumni,  trustees,  adminis-

wish  you  a  very  Merry  Christmas  and  a  Happy  and 
Prosperous  New  Year.  We  are  grateful  for  your 
loyal  support  and  cooperation  which  has  been  shown 
in  many  ways.  Your  constant  loyalty  has  helped  the 
College  we  love  rise  to  new  heights  in  its  service  to 
this  generation  of  young  Americans.  Let  us  keep 
Bucknell  moving  higher  and  higher  along  the  steep 
slopes  of  educational  achievement  so  it  will  reach  new 
and  unchartered  heights  by  1946,  its  centennial  year.

Greetings  from  tfje  $re£tbent 


Dear  Bucknellians: 

I  send  sincere  wishes  for  a  Merry  Christmas  and  a  Happy 
New  Year  to  each  of  you  from  your  Alma  Mater  and  from  me 
personally. 

You  and  I  are  participants  in  one  of  the  most  dramatic  mo- 
ments in  the  history  of  western  civilization.  Titanic  forces  are 
in  deadly  opposition,  and  the  fate  of  many  of  our  precious  cultural 
and  spiritual  values  seems  to  hang  in  the  balance.  It  was  for  such 
tests  of  strength  that  Bucknell  and  her  sister  colleges  were  created 
and  maintained.  The  men  and  women  of  America  whose  minds 
and  characters  and  spirits  have  been  trained  at  these  colleges 
should  now  take  the  lead  in  preserving  and  perpetuating  the 
ideals  of  Christian  civilization. 

May  all  Bucknellians  now  summon  all  of  the  intelligence  and 
nobility  of  character  which  they  may  have  acquired  on  this 
campus,  and  on  this  Christmas  rededicate  themselves  to  the  service 
of  God  and  humanity.  In  the  name  and  memory  of  those  teachers 
of  the  present  and  of  the  past  who  saw  in  you  the  hope  and  glory 
of  the  future  and  who  gave  themselves  to  your  instruction  and 
inspiration,  I  invite  you  now  to  measure  up  to  the  full  stature 
of  your  youthful  promise  and  to  battle  through  these  fateful 
days  with  courage  and  dignity  and  earnestness  and  unflinching 
faith  in  the  Christ  whose  birthday  we  now  celebrate. 

Bucknellians  have  been  trained  to  live  "on  the  side  of  the 
angels."  May  each  of  you  do  so  in  this  present  crisis,  and  in  the 
days  to  follow  when  a  new  world  must  be  created  on  the  wreck- 
age of  the  old. 

Cordially  yours, 


Q.k^iw."

Dear  Bucknellians: 

I  send  my  special  greetings  to  all  Bucknellians  now  in  the  active  service  of  the  Nation. 
We  cannot  know,  of  course,  at  any  given  time,  how  many  there  are,  or  who  and  where  they 
all  are.  But  we  do  know  that  the  number  is  substantial,  and  that  Bucknell  is  represented  in 
the  far  corners  of  the  earth.  I  have  received  letters  written  by  Bucknellians  from  places  of 
which  I  had  never  previously  heard. 

Wherever  you  are,  Bucknellians  in  service,  give  a  thought  now  and  then  to  the  College 
on  the  Hill,  and  draw  new  strength  and  courage  from  the  knowledge  that  ten  thousand  other 
members  of  the  Bucknell  family  will  be  proud  of  what  you  do  in  the  service  of  our  beloved 
Republic.  Remember  also  that  the  American  Way  of  Life  for  which  you  are  contending  is, 
at  its  best,  the  very  ideal  on  which  Bucknell  was  founded  and  built;  it  is  the  Bucknell  Way 
of  Life. 

Write  to  us  when  you  can,  and  resolve  to  come  back  to  Lewisburg  in  1946  and  help 
celebrate  your  Alma  Mater's  One  Hundredth  Birthday  in  a  world  of  freedom  and  peace. 

Announcement  of  this  year's  Commencement  program  is  made  elsewhere  in  this  issue. 
To  all  Bucknellians  I  add  my  personal  invitation  to  attend  the  Commencement  exercises  on 
Saturday,  May  23,  and  visit  Lewisburg  again  at  the  height  of  the  campus'  springtime  beauty. 

With  kindest  regards  to  each  of  you,

Bucknell  in  Wartime 

WHEN  the  dark  clouds  of  war  engulfed  our  Country, 
forcing  us  to  change  our  way  of  life  from  peacetime 
to  wartime,  a  tense  feeling  was  everywhere  on  the 
Bucknell  campus.  Excited  discussions  were  held  in  dormi- 
tories, in  fraternity  houses,  and  in  classes.  Students,  faculty, 
and  members  of  the  administration  were  suddenly  confronted 
with  a  stark  reality  that  the  United  States  was  at  war,  that 
its  territory  had  been  ruthlessly  attacked,  and  that  every  loyal 
American  would  be  needed  in  order  to  defeat  the  aggressor. 
Many  of  the  men  on  the  campus  wanted  to  enlist  immediately. 
The  calm  judgment  of  President  Marts  helped  to  keep  them  in 
college.  He  pointed  out  that  they  would  be  serving  their  Coun- 
try well  by  continuing  their  education  until  their  call  comes. 

Several  of  the  "old  timers"  briefly  reviewed  some  of  Buck- 
nell's  history  and  recalled  that  this  patriotic  fervor  which  was 
sweeping  the  campus  was  traditional  and  had  been  felt  by 
other  generations  of  Bucknellians  during  past  wars.  They  re- 
minded us  that  when  Gettysburg  was  attacked  the  students 
rallied  and  left  the  campus  to  fight  in  its  defense.  Many  re- 
called the  leadership  of  a  prominent  Bucknellian  in  World 
War  I,  General  Tasker  H.  Bliss,  '73,  who  was  Chief  of  Staff 
of  the  United  States  Army.  Others  cited  some  of  the  deeds 
of  valor  performed  by  loyal  sons  of  Bucknell  on  the  field  of 
battle  which  presented  a  glorious  record. 

In  a  few  weeks  the  place  which  Bucknell  was  to  take  in  the 
fight  for  international  freedom  and  justice  became  apparent.

Students  are  taking  Civilian  Defense  Courses  along  with  their 
regular  college  course 


In  modern  war  it  is  necessary  to  have  highly  trained  men  in 
the  armed  forces  and  in  defense  work.  Women,  too,  have 
assumed  an  important  role  in  war.  The  demand  for  college 
men  and  women  has  increased.  A  greater  need  has  developed 
for  engineers,  chemists,  physicists,  doctors,  research  assistants, 
nurses,  civilian  defense  workers,  and  others.  Since  time  was 
an  important  factor,  the  colleges  were  requested  to  aid  by 
shortening  their  college  courses.  Bucknell  responded  imme- 
diately by  developing  a  very  workable  accelerated  program 
which  has  been  carefully  planned  by  members  of  the  faculty 
and  administration. 

The  problem  of  giving  a  four-year  college  course  in  three 
years,  or  in  two  years  and  eight  months,  presented  a  great 
undertaking.  It  was  necessary  to  offer  a  June  term  of  twelve 
and  sixteen  weeks;  vacation  periods  had  to  be  reduced  in 
length  or  eliminated;  and  faculty  members  had  to  be  asked 
to  teach  all  year,  which  they  willingly  agreed  to  do.  Com- 
mencement was  advanced  to  May  23,  with  the  complete  com- 
mencement program  taking  only  twenty-four  hours  as  against 
three  days  in  previous  years.  The  Student-Faculty  Congress 
voted  to  reduce  extracurricular  activities  fifty  per  cent  so  stu- 
dents could  have  more  time  to  devote  to  their  class  work  and 
the  war  effort. 

The  instructional  and  administrative  procedures  were  com- 
pletely re-examined.  Some  of  the  courses  have  been  revised, 
new  ones  added,  and  others  tucked  away  for  the  duration. 
A  physical  fitness  program  has  been  established   for  all  stu-

A  Message  to  the  Alumni 

By  W.  C.  LOWTHER,  '14, 
President,  General  Alumni  Association

.  J~»   . 


rE  are  nearing  the  close 
of  one  of  the  most  suc- 
cessful years  in  the  his- 
tory of  the  General  Alumni 
Association.  This  has  been  due 
to  the  work  of  loyal  alumni  in 
every  section  of  the  country. 
Four  new  district  alumni  asso- 
ciations have  been  granted 
charters;  namely,  Western 
Massachusetts  at  Pittsfield; 
Connecticut  at  New  Haven; 
Lancaster  at  Lancaster;  and  the 
Capitol  District  at  Schenectady. 
These  clubs  did  not  just  happen,  they  represent  the  untiring 
efforts  of  many  Bucknellians  in  these  communities  and  our 
hats  are  off  to  them.  Already  the  fruits  of  their  labors  are 
seen  in  student  applications  and  in  many  other  ways.  In  other 
districts  the  clubs  have  been  very  active  and  the  attendance  at 
meetings  and  gatherings  has  been  from  25  to  400.  With  such 
a  body  working  toward  one  goal,  we  are  bound  to  succeed. 
It  has  been  my  privilege  to  attend  the  meetings  of  several  of 
the  clubs  this  year,  and  each  time  I  came  away  a  more  loyal 
Bucknellian  and  with  the  wish  that  I  could  visit  every  one  of 
our  forty-two  clubs. 

I  know  that  you  all  will  be  grieved  to  hear  that  your  ex- 
president,  E.  A.  Snyder,  has  been  confined  to  his  bed  by  illness 
since  last  November.  I  visit  him  at  the  hospital  at  every 
opportunity  and  often  call  on  him  for  counsel  and  advice 
regarding  alumni  affairs.  I  am  happy  to  say  that  he  is  im- 
proving and  expects  to  be  out  in  a  short  time  and  back  at 
Lewisburg  for  Commencement. 

The  war  is  changing  the  daily  life  of  each  and  every  one 
of  us  and  naturally  is  changing  things  on  the  campus  at  Lewis- 
burg. Courses  have  been  speeded  up;  new  courses  have  been 
added;  extracurricular  activities  have  been  cut  to  a  minimum; 
and,  of  course,  many  young  men  have  joined  the  various 
branches  of  the  service.  Ever  since  the  founding  of  Bucknell, 
almost  a  century  ago,  whenever  a  crisis  arose  you  found  Buck- 
nell men  and  women  in  the  front  ranks  in  the  service  of  their 
country,  and  we  will  not  fail  this  time.  War  or  no  war,  "The 
Bucknell  Way  of  Life,"  as  conceived  by  Dr.  Marts,  cannot  be 
set  aside  or  destroyed.  Your  Alma  Mater  needs  your  help  and 
co-operation  now  as  she  never  has  needed  it  before,  and  there 
are  many  ways  in  which  you  may  help  her.  If  you  know  any 
outstanding  prospective  students,  please  send  their  names  to 
the  Admissions  and  Alumni  Office  at  Bucknell.  Also,  send 
your  application  for  membership  in  the  Bison  Club  to  the 
Alumni  Secretary.     This  Club  is  doing  a  remarkable  job. 

Commencement  has  been  moved  up  to  May  23  and  all  the 
activities  have  been  crowded  into  a  twenty-four-hour  period. 
There  is  something  doing  every  minute,  and  I  am  sure  it  will 
be  well  worth  the  trip  to  Lewisburg  just  to  walk  up  the  Hill 
once  more,  greet  your  classmates,  and  revive  the  old  spirit. 

During  this  war  emergency  period,  let  us  all  keep  in  mind 
that  Victory  must  be  ours.

Alumni  Group  Organizes  the 
Bucknell  Religious  Life  Associates 

CHARLES  M,  BOND, 
Professor  of  Religion 

ON  Thursday  evening,  October  30,  forty  Bucknell  alumni 
and  friends  met  at  the  Lewisburg  Inn  in  order  to 
bring  about  one  of  the  most  significant  of  our  alumni 
organizations,  the  Bucknell  Religious  Life  Associates.  Presi- 
dent Marts  presided  over  the  dinner  meeting  in  his  gracious 
and  effective  manner.  Guests  came  from  New  York  City, 
Philadelphia,  Camden,  Harrisburg,  Jamestown,  Scranton, 
Wilkes-Barre,  Williamsport,  and  other  places  closer  to  Lewis- 
burg. 

The  establishment  of  the  Religious  Life  Associates  repre- 
sents a  long  growing  and  carefully  cultivated  process.  Buck- 
nell has  always  been  proud  of  her  religious  traditions  and  she 
has  religious  traditions  to  justify  her  pride.  Dr.  Robert  Lowry 
greatly  helped  to  lay  the  foundations  as  did  many  other  men 
and  women  too  numerous  to  mention.  President  John  H. 
Harris  and  President  Emory  W.  Hunt,  each  in  his  own  states- 
manlike way,  built  upon  that  foundation  a  structure  of  which 
Bucknellians  have  a  right  to  be  proud.  During  the  past  fif- 
teen years  our  program  of  religious  work  has  developed  to 
such  an  extent  that  Bucknell  is  now  referred  to  in  professional 
circles  as  one  of  the  places  where  a  healthy  religion  is  a  definite 
part  of  the  University  life.  This  is  due  to  many  factors;  the 
nature  of  our  students,  the  attitude  of  our  Faculty  and  Ad- 
ministration, the  staff  of  leaders  in  our  religious  program,  and 
the  example  and  personal  interest  of  President  Marts.  A 
member  of  a  great  denominational  board  recently  said,  "If  I 
should  want  to  have  a  young  man  thoroughly  trained  in  a 
laboratory  of  religion,  I  would  send  him  to  Bucknell  Uni- 
versity." 

Many  members  of  the  alumni  group  have  indicated  their 
interest  in  the  religious  life  of  the  University,  but  there  had 
not  been  an  avenue  provided  for  the  common  expression  or 
the  co-ordination  of  this  interest.  It  is  this  lack  that  the 
Religious  Life  Associates  undertakes  to  fill.  It  is  intended  to 
provide  a  channel  through  which  the  interest  of  our  alumni 
members  in  our  religious  program  can  be  expressed,  as  well  as 
a  means  for  the  stimulation  of  additional  interest.  The  hearty 
response  which  the  project  has  already  received  is  an  indica- 
tion of  the  real  concern  of  our  alumni  for  the  encouragement 
of  the  most  vital  and  adequate  religious  experience  of  our 
students. 

At  the  dinner  meeting  on  October  30,  after  members  of  the 
local  staff  had  been  introduced  and  had  reported  upon  the 
significant  things  happening  in  Chapel,  the  Department  of 
Religion,  and  the  Student  Christian  Association,  there  was  a 
lively  discussion  of  the  present  situation,  the  problems  which 
arise  from  it,  and  some  of  the  things  which  need  to  be  done 
about  it.  The  following  paragraphs  attempt  to  summarize 
this  discussion. 

At  least  seven  different  functions  were  pointed  out  as  con- 
stituting the  opportunities  and  responsibilities  for  service  which 
come  to  the  Religious  Life  Associates.  These  functions  are  self- 
explanatory  and  need  only  to  be  listed  here.  Ways  of  carry- 
ing them  out  might  well  be  discussed  in  alumni  gatherings  of 
various  sorts,  in  later  articles  in  the  Alumni  Monthly,  and 


The  Religious  Life  Associates  hold  an  organization  meeting 
at  the  Lewisburg  Inn 

in  correspondence  with  the  members  of  the  staff.     The  func- 
tions are  as  follows: 

1.  To  interest  young  people  from  our  best  Christian  homes 
in  coming  to  Bucknell, 

2.  To  develop  a  fuller  understanding  and  a  finer  attitude 
between  the  churches  and  the  University, 

3.  To  keep  in  touch  with  the  fraternities  and  sororities  in 
order  that  an  atmosphere  favorable  to  religious  ideas  and 
activities  may  be  built  up, 

4.  To  report  and  interpret  the  University  religious  life  and 
program  at  the  meetings  of  the  Alumni  Clubs, 

5.  To  send  in  suggestions  for  strengthening  and  enlarging 
the  program  of  religious  work, 

6.  To  help  to  secure  and  maintain  an  adequate  staff  and 
physical  equipment,  and 

7.  To  plan  for  the  writing  of  the  religious  history  of  the 
University  as  a  part  of  the  centennial  celebration. 

President  Marts  appointed  the  Reverend  Finley  Keech  of 
Harrisburg,  the  Reverend  William  D.  Golightly  of  Scranton, 
and  Dr.  A.  M.  Weaver  of  Williamsport  as  members  of  the 
Nominating  Committee.  Since  the  Sponsoring  Committee 
thought  these  three  gentlemen  to  be  such  excellent  "material" 
for  the  Executive  Committee,  a  good  deal  of  pressure  was 
brought  to  bear  upon  them  to  allow  their  names  to  be  placed 
in  nomination  as  members  of  the  Executive  Committee.  Their 
reluctance  to  comply  with  this  request  was  finally  overcome, 
and  their  names  along  with  those  of  Dr.  Mary  B.  Harris,  of 
Lewisburg;  Mrs.  Carolyn  H.  Mahaffey,  of  Pittsburgh;  and 
Mr.  Charles  W.  Potter,  of  Jersey  Shore,  were  placed  in  nomi- 
nation and  were  unanimously  elected. 

If  you  are  a  Bucknellian  and  are  interested  in  helping  ac- 
complish the  things  for  which  this  group  stands,  we  would 
be  glad  to  have  you  join  with  us.  There  are  no  dues  or  mem- 
bership fees.  Funds  will  have  to  be  secured  from  some  sources 
to  carry  on  the  growing  religious  program  of  the  University. 
We  can  get  those  funds,  if  we  have  the  hearty  co-operation  of 
an  interested  group  of  our  alumni.  You  are  encouraged  to 
write  to  the  author  of  this  article,  who  has  been  serving  as 
Chairman  of  the  Sponsoring  Committee,  telling  him  of  your 
interest  and  your  desire  to  identify  yourself  with  the  Bucknell 
Religious  Life  Associates.

The  New  Demie  House 

"DON"  SHOLL,  '42, 
Chapter  President 

UP  on  the  crest  of  "College  Hill,"  next  to  the  Engineer- 
ing Building  and  near  the  proposed  new  Library,  a 
construction  gang  is  hard  at  work  putting  the  finishing 
touches  on  Delta  Sigma's  new  550,000  fraternity  house. 
Meanwhile,  down  on  Brown  Street,  the  Demies  are  awaiting 
completion  of  the  house  in  temporary  quarters  provided  by 
the  University.  The  old  house  on  St.  George  Street  was  pur- 
chased by  the  administration,  given  a  "Burpee  treatment,"  and 
turned  over  to  a  group  of  freshman  girls. 

The  fraternity  goal  was  realized  early  in  July,  1941,  when 
the  Bucknell  Board  of  Trustees  decided  on  the  house  location 
and  approved  the  house  plans  prepared  by  Mr.  J.  Frederick 
Larson,  University  Architect.  The  ground  on  the  building 
site  was  ceremoniously  broken  by  a  delegation  of  Demie 
alumni  three  hours  after  the  decision  was  made  by  the  Board. 
John  McKinney,  builder  of  the  present  Phi  Psi  House  and  the 
new  Campus  Theatre,  was  awarded  the  contract,  and  work 
started  in  September. 

At  Homecoming,  200  alumni  and  friends  gathered  about 
the  southwest  corner  of  the  foundation  to  watch  President 
Arnaud  C.  Marts,  Founder  I.  A.  DeWitt,  '00,  and  Chapter 
President  "Don"  Sholl,  '42,  spread  cement  on  the  house  cor- 
nerstone. 

The  new  house  has  been  carefully  designed  to  harmonize 
with  the  architecture  of  the  University  buildings,  being  built 
of  the  same  "Bison"  Colonial  brick.  It  will  provide  modern 
living  facilities  for  twenty-four  men,  and  will  have  social  and 
dining  space  for  at  least  twenty-four  more. 

The  ground  floor  features  a  dining  room  which  normally 
seats  forty  men  but  which  can  be  opened  into  a  large  game 
room  by  sliding  doors  for  banquets  and  special  events.  On  the 
river  side  of  the  ground  floor,  a  glass  brick  enclosed,  semi- 
circular chapter  room  will  contain  two  rows  of  raised  seats 
around  the  president's  desk.  A  large  kitchen,  a  boiler  room, 
and  a  storage  room  are  also  provided  on  this  floor. 

A  living  room,  measuring  eighteen  feet  by  fifty-one  feet 
dominates  the  first  floor.  Interior  decoration  and  furniture 
arrangements  will  divide  this  big  room  into  three  natural  sec- 
tions. Opening  off  the  living  room  are  a  living  alcove,  a 
library,  a  card  room,  and  an  office  for  fraternity  records.  The 
western  entrance  from  the  new  campus  quadrangle  leads  into 
a  spacious  hall,  flanked  by  a  powder  room  on  the  left  with  a 
stairway  and  coat  room  on  the  right.  A  broad  porch,  with 
four  white  columns  reaching  to  the  roof,  commands  a  view  of 
the  river  and  Montour  toward  the  East. 

The  second  and  third  floors  are  a  radical  departure  from 
conventional  fraternity  house  layouts.  Mr.  Larson  has  divided 
each  floor  into  four  three-men  suites.  The  generous  sized 
study  rooms  have  adjoining  bedrooms  which  include  built-in 
wardrobes  and  two  double  decker  beds.  A  guest  room  is 
located  in  the  center  of  the  second  floor.  A  corresponding 
room  on  the  third  floor  is  set  aside  for  storage. 

According  to  the  present  schedule  the  new  home  of  the 
Demies  will  be  ready  to  move  into  by  late  Spring. 


Haines  Leads  Bucknell  Courtmen 

NINE  wins   and   an   equal  number  of  losses  during  the 
recent  campaign  is  the  record  which  tells  only  a  small 
part  of  the  season's  story  of  the  1942  Bucknell  varsity 
basketball  team. 

The  season's  history  is  prefaced  by  the  achievements  of 
George  Haines,  junior  forward,  who  brought  to  Bucknell  a 
position  on  the  Associated  Press  All-Pennsylvania  Five.  Haines 
received  the  second  highest  number  of  votes  in  a  poll  of 
coaches  and  officials  throughout  the  state. 

Haines  also  captured  the  Eastern  Pennsylvania  Collegiate 
Conference  scoring  crown  with  a  new  record  of  229  points  in 
12  contests.  He  also  established  a  new  single-game  scoring 
mark  of  37  points  during  the  season. 

Haines'  complete  scoring,  totaling  324  points  in  18  contests, 
placed  him  in  fourth  position  in  scoring  throughout  the  entire 
state. 

In  the  foul-shooting  division,  Haines'  record  for  the  1942 
campaign  stands  apart.  He  completed  90  out  of  110  free 
throws  and  during  the  campaign  ran  up  a  consecutive  number 
of  20  tosses  without  a  miss.

Those  Were  the  Good  Old  Days 
at  Bucknell! 


DR.  WILLIAM  G.  OWENS.  '$Q 


When  the  Editors  of  The  Bucknell 
Alumni  Monthly  recently  asked  me, 
"What  changes  have  taken  place  since 
you  came  to  the  campus?"  1  immedi- 
ately began  to  think  about  the  many 
years  that  have  come  and  gone  since  I 
arrived  at  the  "College  Farm"  three 
weeks  before  the  eighth  class  was  gradu- 
ated from  the  University  at  Lewisburg 
(1858),  as  Bucknell  was  then  called. 
I  could  vividly  see  the  "Bucknell  of  yes- 
terday" with  its  few  buildings  and  no 
modern  conveniences,  its  faculty  of  five 
and  small  student  body.  That  is  the 
Bucknell  which  I  have  watched  grow 
year  after  year;  that  is  the  Bucknell 
which  I  would  like  to  tell  you  about  for 
out  of  it  has  arisen  the  glorious  Bucknell 
University  of  1942. 

In  the  early  days  students  had  a  diffi- 
cult time  reaching  Lewisburg.  Those 
who  lived  in  and  around  Philadelphia 
came  by  one  of  two  routes.  They  could 
travel  by  train  to  Pottsville  and  then 
board  a  stagecoach  which  brought  them 
the  remaining  48  miles  to  Lewisburg; 
or  they  could  come  by  train  to  Harris- 
burg  where  a  packet  boat  towed  by  mule 
power  brought  them  up  the  Susquehanna 
Canal  to  the  cross  cut  leading  to  Lewis- 
burg. Here  they  were  met  by  a  carriage 
since  only  freight  boats  came  to  the 
Lewisburg  wharf.  Pittsburgh  students 
encountered  a  different  experience.  They 
came  by  canal  boats,  built  in  sections,  to 
Johnstown.  Here  the  sections  were 
placed  on  cars  which  were  drawn  up 
five  incline  planes  by  stationary  engines. 
The  cars  floated  across  the  mountains 
for  thirty-seven  miles  until  they  were 
lowered  into  the  Juniata  Canal  at  Holli- 
davsburg.  From  there  the  sections  were 
towed  to  the  "Junction,"  situated  eight- 
een miles  above  Harrisburg.  A  few  years 
later  when  the  Pennsylvania  Railroad 
was  completed,  students  took  the  9  p.  m. 
train  at  Pittsburgh  which  connected  with 
the  "one  and  one-half  p.  m."  packet  at 
the  "Junction."  The  next  morning  they 
reached  the  crosscut.  If  they  were  not 
met  there,  they  went  on  to  Milton  where 
they  could  secure  a  stagecoach  which  ran 
twice  daily  to  Lewisburg. 

The  dormitory  rooms  which  the  stu- 
dents occupied  did  not  have  any  of  the 


modern  conveniences  that  the  rooms  in 
Hunt  Hall,  Larison  Hall,  and  East  Col- 
lege have  today.  The  only  furnishings  in 
each  room  for  men  consisted  of  a  single 
iron  bedstead.  If  a  college  student  desired 
other  things  he  had  to  bring  them  from 
home  by  freight  boats  or  he  had  to  buy 
them  after  he  arrived  in  Lewisburg.  The 
male  students  usually  took  their  bed 
ticks  to  a  farm,  filled  them  with  clean 
wheat  straw,  and  carried  them  back  to 
their  rooms. 

In  addition  to  their  bedroom,  each 
student  shared  a  study  with  another  per- 
son. At  night  kerosene  lamps  were  used. 
Since  there  were  no  lights  in  the  halls 
or  on  the  campus,  except  one  lamp  in 
front  of  Old  Main  and  one  at  the  foot 
of  the  hill,  many  students  carried  fold- 
ing wax  candle  lanterns  in  their  coat 
pockets  which  they  would  use  when 
necessary.  There  was  no  running  water 
in  the  dormitories.  Therefore,  water 
was  forced  to  the  top  of  the  hill  from  a 
spring  below  the  foundry  (opposite 
Power  House)  until  someone  thought  it 
would  be  a  good  joke  to  cut  the  pipe. 
The  trustees'  reaction  was,  "Well,  if  you 
don't  want  the  water,  we  will  remove  the 
hydraulic  ram."  After  that  incident,  the 
boys  had  to  carry  the  water  up  the  hill 
in  buckets.  Drinking  water  was  also  car- 
ried to  the  Academy  (Taylor  Hall)  from 
a  spring  opposite  the  Sigma  Chi  House. 

The  college  curriculum  consisted  of 
thirty-six  required  subjects  and  the 
school  year  was  divided  into  three  terms. 
College  opened  each  morning  with  a 
chapel  program  at  ~ :  1 5  a.  m.  which  all 
faculty  members  and  students  attended. 
The  schedule  for  the  remaining  part  of 
the  day  was  as  follows: 

7:  30-  8:  30  a.  m.  Classes 

8:30-  9:00  a.m.  Time    to    visit    Post 
Office 

9:  00-11:  00  a.  m.  Study  Period 

11:  00-12:  00  m.  Classes 

1:  00-  2:  00  p.  m.  Dinner 

2:  00-  4:  00  p.  m.  Classes 

4:  00-  5:  00  p.m.  Study  Period 

7:  00-  9:  00  p.m.  Study  in  rooms 

10:  00  p.  m.  Lights  out 

Occasionally  professors  visited  the  va- 
rious  rooms  during  the  hours  7:  00  to 


Dr.  William  G.  Owens.  '80 

Dr.  William  G.  Owens  was 
born  in  1858  at  what  is  now  the 
"College  Farm."  He  attended  the 
Bucknell  Preparatory  School  be- 
fore entering  the  College  from 
which  he  was  graduated  in  1880. 
He  took  graduate  work  at  Har- 
vard University  and  the  Univer- 
sity of  Berlin,  Germany.  On 
March  18,  1880,  Dr.  Owens  be- 
came an  instructor  of  language 
and  science  at  the  Academy,  and 
in  1885  he  began  teaching  at  the 
College.  He  continued  his  teach- 
ing duties  at  Bucknell  until  1935 
when  he  retired.  Dr.  Owens  has 
been  on  the  campus  part  of  every 
year  during  his  entire  lifetime  ex- 
cept the  one  year  (1935-1936)  he 
spent  as  professor  of  Chemistry  at 
the  University  of  Shanghai. 

In  1885  Dr.  Owens  married  F. 
Jeannette  Waffle,  a  teacher  at  the 
Female  Institute.  Many  years  after 
the  College  admitted  women,  Mrs. 
Owens  decided  to  attend  the  Uni- 
versity and  in  1934  she  received 
her  degree.  Dr.  Owens  is  the 
father  of  four  children,  all  of 
whom  are  graduates  of  Bucknell. 
At  the  present  time  Dr.  Owens  is 
historian  of  the  University  and  in 
his  eighty-fourth  year  he  is  teach- 
ing a  class  in  physical  science  for 
one  of  his  colleagues  who  under- 
went an  operation.

Roy  G.  Bostwick,  '05,  Elected 
Chairman  of  Board  of  Trustees 

Rush  H.  Kress,  '00,  and  Ernest  M.  Overholt 
Elected  Trustees 


Roy  G.  Bostwick,  prominent  Pitts- 
burgh attorney,  was  elected  chairman  of 
the  Bucknell  University  Board  of  Trus- 
tees on  December  20,  1941.  Mr.  Bost- 
wick is  a  member  of  the  law  firm  of 
Thorp,  Bostwick,  Reed,  and  Armstrong 
in  Pittsburgh;  vice-president  and  direc- 
tor of  the  Wilkinsburg  Bank,  Wilkins- 
burg,  Pennsylvania,  and  holds  various 
other  positions  of  prominence  in  his 
community.  One  of  his  recent  honors 
has  been  his  appointment  to  the  Panel 
of  Arbitration  of  the  Motion  Picture 
Arbitration  System.  He  is  a  member  of 
the  Bucknell  Chapter  of  Phi  Beta  Kappa. 

Mr.  Bostwick  was  graduated  from 
Bucknell  in  1905  and  from  the  Univer- 
sity of  Pennsylvania  Law  School  in  1908. 
He  was  admitted  to  the  Pennsylvania 
Bar  after  graduation  and  since  then  has 
been  engaged  in  the  general  practice  of 
law  at  Pittsburgh. 

On  January  10,  1942,  the  Bucknell 
Trustees  in  the  Pittsburgh  area — George 
T.  Ladd,  Henry  A.  Roemer,  and  John  T. 
Shirley — were  hosts  at  a  luncheon  given 
in  honor  of  their  friend,  Roy  G.  Bost- 
wick, A.M.,  LL.B. 

In  addition  to  the  elevation  of  Mr. 
Bostwick  to  the  presidency  of  the  Board, 
two  new  members  were  elected  at  the 
December  meeting — Rush  H.  Kress,  vice- 
president  of  S.  H.  Kress  Company,  New 
York  City,  and  Ernest  McClellan  Over- 
holt,  of  Scottdale,  Pennsylvania.  Mr. 
Kress,  an  alumnus  of  Bucknell,  received 
his  degree  in  1900  with  the  distinction  of 
magna  cum  laude.  In  addition  to  his 
scholastic  achievements,  he  took  an  ac- 
tive part  in  student  activities  during  his 
college  days.  He  was  manager  of  the 
football  team,  business  manager  of 
U  Agenda,  and  served  on  the  staff  of  the 
Orange  and  Blue,  college  paper.  Mr. 
Kress  started  with  the  S.  H.  Kress  Com- 
pany in  1899.  In  spite  of  his  many 
business  responsibilities,  Mr.  Kress  has 
always  kept  in  close  touch  with  his 
Alma  Mater.  Each  year  he  presents  the 
Rush  Kress  Trophy  award  to  that  na- 
tional fraternity  at  Bucknell  which 
makes  the  greatest  contribution  to  the 
life  of  the  University.  For  several  years 
he  served  as  president  of  the  Athletic 
Association  and  is  now  president  of  the 

[6] 


Bison  Club.  Last  fall,  Mr.  Kress  was 
initiated  into  the  Bucknell  Chapter  of 
Phi  Beta  Kappa  because  of  his  outstand- 
ing college  records  and  his  achievements 
since  leaving  college. 

Mr.  Overholt  received  his  early  edu- 
cation at  the  East  Huntingdon  Town- 
ship Grade  School,  Westmoreland 
County,  Pennsylvania.  He  was  gradu- 
ated from  the  Mt.  Pleasant  Institute, 
also  known  as  the  Western  Pennsylvania 
Classical  and  Scientific  Institute  at  Mt. 
Pleasant,  Pennsylvania,  in  1902.  Two 
years  later  he  was  graduated  from  the 
Peterson  Business  College  at  Scottdale. 
After  completing  this  course,  Mr.  Over- 
holt began  working  for  the  Scottdale 
Printing  and  Publishing  Company.  He 
remained  here  only  a  few  months  for 
he  was  offered  a  position  in  the  First 
National  Bank  of  Scottdale.  He  is  now 
employed  as  manager  of  the  Securities 
Department  in  this  Bank.  Mr.  Over- 
holt is  also  a  graduate  of  the  standard 
course,   American   Institute   of  Banking. 

Bucknell-Metropolitan  As- 
sociation Gives  Financial 
Aid  to  Alumni  Office 

During  the  past  year  the  Bucknell- 
Metropolitan  Alumni  Association  has 
contributed  $1,500  towards  the  support 
of  the  Alumni  Office  and  the  publication 
of  the  Alumni  Monthly.  The  Club 
had  an  active  year  under  the  presidency 
of  Mr.  O.  V.  W.  Hawkins,  '13.  Meet- 
ings were  held  monthly,  alternating  be- 
tween New  York  and  New  Jersey.  One 
of  the  big  events  was  the  party  at  Rock- 
hill  when  Mr.  Rush  H.  Kress,  '00, 
acted  as  host  to  more  than  eight  hundred 
alumni  and  friends.  Another  outstand- 
ing event  was  the  Glee  Club  Concert 
which  it  sponsored  at  the  Woman's  Club 
at  Orange,  New  Jersey,  February  6,  1942, 
to  aid  the  Student  Admission's  program. 
More  than  five  hundred  alumni,  pros- 
pective students,  and  guests  were  pres- 
ent. As  the  present  school  term  draws 
to  a  close,  the  Metropolitan  Association 
is  planning  to  end  its  activities  until  fall, 
but  it  is  already  looking  forward  to  an- 
other year  when  it  can  be  of  service  to 
its  Alma  Mater.

The  Bucknell  Alumni 
Research  Founda- 
tion is  Chartered 


Another  alumni  organization  was  cre- 
ated when  a  group  of  local  alumni  in- 
cluding Attorney  Clair  Groover,  Lewis- 
burg;  Mr.  Berkeley  V.  Hastings,  Milton; 
Mr.  Dayton  L.  Ranck,  Dr.  John  W. 
Rice,  and  Dr.  R.  H.  Rivenburg,  mem- 
bers of  the  Bucknell  administration  and 
faculty,  were  granted  a  charter  in  the 
name  of  The  Bucknell  Alumni  Research 
Foundation,  a  non-profit  corporation. 
The  Foundation  has  as  its  principal  ob- 
jective the  promotion  and  utilization  of 
research  designed  to  enrich  life  by  the 
creation,  development,  production,  and 
marketing  of  new  foods  and  flowering 
plants  and  their  seeds  or  products.  In 
addition,  it  will  aim  to  promote  any 
other  scientific  or  socially  useful  research 
at  Bucknell,  and  to  utilize,  market,  and 
develop  its  products. 

At  the  organization  meeting  held  in 
January,  Berkeley  V.  Hastings  was 
elected  president;  Dr.  R.  H.  Rivenburg, 
vice-president;  Dayton  L.  Ranck,  secre- 
tary-treasurer. The  petitioners  for  the 
charter  are  serving  as  directors  of  the 
Foundation  for  a  two-year  period.  In 
the  future  directors  will  be  elected  by 
the  Board  of  Directors  of  the  General 
Alumni  Association.  They  will  serve 
without  pay  and  supervise  the  work  and 
management  of  the  business  of  the 
Foundation. 

The  first  project  of  the  Foundation 
has  been  the  marketing  of  hybrid  seed 
corn  which  has  been  developed  after 
twenty-three  years  of  research  by  Dr. 
William  H.  Eyster,  professor  of  botany 
at  Bucknell.  When  Dr.  Eyster  turned 
over  the  sale  of  the  seed  corn  to  the 
Foundation,  there  were  over  1,000  bush- 
els of  processed  corn  to  be  sold.  The 
demand  has  been  so  great  that  the  mem- 


Music  Department 
Needs  Your  Help! 

For  a  number  of  years,  through  no 
fault  but  the  familiar  handicap  of  lack 
of  funds,  the  School  of  Music  has  been 
laboring  under  the  disadvantages  of 
cramped  quarters  and  barely  adequate 
equipment.  This  equipment  includes  an 
excellent  entity  known  as  the  Carnegie 
Music  Set,  which  consists  of  books,  re- 
cordings, scores,  and  a  Capehart  phono- 
graph, and  in  connection  with  this,  the 
School  of  Music  sustained  a  severe  blow 
when  ninety-five  of  the  one  hundred  and 
twenty-six  volumes  of  recordings  were 
stolen  about  a  year  ago.  The  replacing 
of  the  number  of  records  which  this 
loss  represents  is  something  which  will 
only  be  possible  through  years  of  effort 
on  the  part  of  the  staff,  since  the  amount 
of  money  which  can  be  spent  for  such 
things  is  necessarily  limited. 

The  School  of  Music  is  planning  an 
extension  and  elaboration  of  its  aca- 
demic program  and  courses  at  such  a 
time  in  the  future  as  it  becomes  pos- 
sible, and  in  doing  so,  must  plan  far 
ahead.  In  connection  with  this  pro- 
gram, it  was  conceived  that  such  alumni, 
friends  of  music,  and  Bucknell  enthu- 
siasts who  have  in  their  possession  the 
type  of  instruments,  recordings,  music, 
and  books  on  music  for  which  they 
have  no  use  or  need,  would  be  able  to 
aid  the  cause  of  music  at  Bucknell  in 
a  way  more  or  less  painless  to  them- 
selves, by  contributing  them  to  the 
School  of  Music,  where  they  could  be 
put  to  active  use.  In  connection  with 
this,  it  might  not  be  out  of  place  to  say 
that  we  have  already  received  a  gift  of 
a  set  of  The  American  History  and 
Encyclopedia  of  Music  from  Mrs.  Kath- 
ryn  Spotts  Lauer,  '21,  and  the  Carnegie 
Library  was  favored  with  several  sets  of 
valuable  classics.  In  addition,  a  promi- 
nent Bucknellian  has  promised  his  large 
and  valuable  collection  of  music  and  lit- 
erature on  music  to  the  University  at 
some  future  date. 

Aside  from  the  need  of  good  record- 
ings, musical  scores  for  reference  (opera, 
oratorio,  cantata — anything  which  falls 
within  the  category  of  substantial  music 
for  chorus,  piano,  voice,  violin,  or  or- 
gan), the  School  will  find  use  particu- 
larly for  the  following  band  and  orches- 
tral   instruments:      trumpet,    trombone, 

bers  of  the  Foundation  believe  all  of  this 
corn  will  be  sold  without  any  difficulty.

Any  inquiries  may  be  addressed  to 
Dr.  Paul  G.  Stolz,  director  of  the

Philadelphia  Annual 
Spring  Soiree 

The  Philadelphia  Alumni  and  Alum- 
nae Clubs  will  hold  their  fourth  Annual 
Spring  Soiree  at  the  Merion  Cricket  Club, 
Haverford,  on  Saturday  evening,  May 
16,  1942.  Music  will  be  furnished  by 
The  Haverfordians,  and  admission  will 
be  Si. 00  a  person.  Any  profit  that  is 
made  this  year  will  go  into  Defense 
Bonds  which  will  be  put  into  the  Phila- 
delphia Alumnae  Scholarship  Fund. 

This  spring  dance  has  established  it- 
self as  one  of  the  highlights  of  the 
alumni  social  calendar.  Approximately 
three  to  four  hundred  Bucknellians  and 
their  friends  come  out  on  the  Saturday 
following  Mother's  Day  for  a  bit  of  fun, 
frolic,  and  Auld  Lang  Syne.  They  come 
dressed  for  a  ritzy  evening  and  prepared 
for  a  lot  of  fun.  You  are  invited  to 
come  and  bring  your  friends.  "The 
more  the  merrier"  as  the  old  saying  goes. 

If  you  wish  to  have  dinner  at  the 
Merion  Cricket  Club  on  May  16,  you 
may  make  arrangements  for  yourself 
and  your  party  through  the  assistant 
manager  of  the  Club,  Miss  Alfredine 
Demange.  This  is  a  special  courtesy  ex- 
tended to  Bucknellians  by  the  Club  and 
their  menu  is  good  and  comparatively 
reasonable. 


South  Americans  Like  the 
Bucknell  Movies 

Reports  from  the  State  Department  at 
Washington,  received  through  diplo- 
matic channels,  indicate  that  the  South 
Americans  like  the  Bucknell  Way  of 
Life.  Although  not  overly  enthusiastic 
about  coeducation,  they  seem  to  favor  it 
as  shown  at  Bucknell.  Last  year's  film, 
"Going  to  Bucknell,"  was  selected  by 
the  State  Department  to  be  used  in  their 
cultural  relations  program  in  order  to 
show  life  at  a  coeducational  college  in 
the  United  States.  It  is  being  used  in 
Chile.  This  year's  film,  "Days  in  Col- 
lege," has  been  selected  also  for  showing 
in  South  America.  A  duplicate  of  the 
film  has  been  forwarded  to  the  State 
Department  for  use  in  Argentina. 


The  Bison  Club  is  Booming! 


THERE  is  good  news  to  pass  along  to  members  and  to 
those  interested  in  the  work  of  the  Bison  Club — good 
news  for  Bucknell!  Last  October,  through  these  columns, 
in  a  series  of  articles  written  by  active  Bisons,  the  purposes 
of  this  Club  were  related  and  an  invitation  to  membership 
was  extended  to  all  alumni,  both  men  and  women.  City  Com- 
mittees went  to  work  to  tell  the  story  of  the  Club,  and,  through 
the  efforts  of  these  various  groups  of  workers,  Club  Member- 
ship has  been  increased  50%. 

During  many  of  the  years  which  have  passed,  the  athletic 
program  of  Bucknell  has  been  carried  out  at  a  financial  loss 
to  the  University.  A  program  which  would  offer  sufficient 
athletic  opportunities  to  students  and  one  which  would  appeal 
to  students  and  alumni  alike  just  could  not  be  produced 
within  the  revenues  returned  by  gate  receipts  and  similar 
sources  of  income.  The  result  was  that  deficits  were  accumu- 
lated from  year  to  year  until  a  sizable  debt  stood  against  the 
University. 

Interested  alumni  were  consulted  and  the  suggestion  of  cur- 
tailment of  the  program  was  followed  in  the  hope  of  putting 
athletics  on  a  profitable  basis.  The  results  were  not  satisfac- 
tory. Curtailment  of  the  program  did  not  solve  the  financial 
problem;  revenues  dropped  off  disproportionately  with  the 
curtailed  program.  Worse  still — alumni  interest  and  student 
interest  declined  to  a  marked  degree,  and  the  publicity  which 
comes  through  winning  teams  diminished  almost  to  the  zero 
point.  It  became  obvious  that  cutting  program  costs  did  not 
eliminate  deficits  and  that,  conversely,  a  full  and  satisfactory 
program  could  not  make  expenses.  This  dilemma  is  probably 
not  only  Bucknell's  but  that  of  any  other  small  university 
situated  away  from  the  metropolitan  centers  and  not  heavily 
endowed. 

Again  the  problem  was  presented  to  the  alumni  for  consid- 
eration. Small  groups  in  several  city  centers  were  asked  to 
study  the  situation  and  to  recommend  a  course  of  action. 
Naturally,  no  alumnus  could  recommend  that  we  give  up  par- 
ticipation in  interscholastic  sports,  for  such  action  would  set 
Bucknell  back  many  decades.  Young  people  want  competitive 
action  and  older  people  love  to  see  young,  healthy  men  and 
women  on  the  field  of  action.  The  only  possible  answer  was 
to  solicit  the  financial  support  of  the  alumni  to  an  extent 
which  would  permit  the  College  to  maintain  a  reasonable  and 
well  supervised  program. 

Out  of  this  necessity  came  the  Bison  Club.  The  Club  as- 
sumed as  its  original  responsibility  the  liquidation  of  the 
accumulated  debt  and  the  underwriting  of  yearly  deficits  by 
making  gifts  to  Bucknell.  When  the  Club  was  formed  less 
than  three  years  ago,  the  accumulated  debt  was  approximately 
$35,000.  It  appeared  that  a  yearly  deficit  of  approximately 
$6,000  would  be  incurred  if  an  adequate  (not  elaborate)  pro- 
gram were  established  and  continued.  The  founders  consid- 
ered the  job  of  liquidation  as  a  three-year  undertaking  which 
meant,  of  course,  that  it  would  be  necessary  for  the  Club  to 
raise  funds  in  excess  of  $50,000  over  a  three-year  period 
to  wipe  out  $35,000  of  accumulated  deficits  and  to  meet 
three  years  of  annual  deficit  at  the  rate  of  $6,000  each  year. 

This  ambitious  program,  undertaken  in  1940,  was  launched 
by  a  small  group  of  loyal  graduates  whose  names  should  be 
recorded  in  the  annals  of  Bucknell.     They  founded  the  Bison 


Club.  They  pledged  gifts  to  be  paid  over  a  three-year  period, 
and  they  called  on  others  to  join  forces  and  through  Bison 
Club  membership  add  their  gifts  to  relieve  the  University  of 
this  burden  of  debt. 

Slowly  the  Club  grew.  Many  generous  gifts  came  in 
through  this  activity.  One  founding  member  (now  our  Bison 
Club  President)  offered  to  contribute  a  dollar  for  each  two 
dollars  raised  by  the  Club  until  the  old  debt  was  paid  off. 
This  added  incentive,  gave  impetus  to  the  movement,  and 
from  small  beginnings  the  Club  grew  to  a  membership  of  two 
hundred  last  fall.  It  was  then  decided  to  ask  all  Bucknell 
men  and  women  to  become  sustaining  members  of  the  Bison 
Club  by  giving  the  University  not  less  than  ten  dollars  each 
year. 

During  the  first  two  months  of  our  membership  campaign, 
applications  averaged  better  than  one  each  day.  Then  came 
the  war,  and  our  committees  of  workers  found  themselves  in- 
volved with  new  important  problems.  Many  of  them  volun- 
teered for  war  work — some  threw  their  efforts  behind  the  drive 
for  the  sale  of  Defense  Bonds;  others  studied  to  be  air  raid 
wardens  or  first  aiders;  some  went  into  service.  But  the  work 
of  helping  Bucknell,  although  reduced  materially,  was  never 
entirely  dropped  and  on  March  1  membership  had  increased 
to  303.  More  than  thirty  thousand  dollars  of  the  desired 
fifty  thousand  was  subscribed  or  paid  in  by  December  31  of 
last  year. 

With  twenty  thousand  to  go,  the  job  which  remained  was 
still  a  big  one — almost  too  big  to  accomplish  during  this  last 
year  of  the  original  three-year  program.  And  then  came  the  big 
surprise  and  the  great  news  for  which  you  have  been  reading 
from  the  start  of  this  report.  We  learned  that  at  Christmas 
time  our  Club  President,  Rush  Kress,  '00,  had  quietly  advised 
the  Athletic  Council  that  he  would  personally  assume  the  bal- 
ance of  the  debt  and  through  his  generous  gift  the  first  major 
task  of  the  Bison  Club — the  liquidation  of  old  deficits — was 
completed. 

Again,  we  are  stimulated  to  new  action  by  our  President's 
kindness.  We  cannot  fail  in  our  endeavors  to  avoid  another 
accumulation  of  deficits — another  burden  of  debt  imposed  on 
the  University.  The  Bison  Club,  having  fulfilled  its  original 
purpose  must  now  plan  to  meet  its  pledged  future  purpose. 
We  must,  through  increased  membership  gifts  of  ten  dollars 
per  year,  offset  the  annual  loss  of  six  thousand  dollars  which 
will  be  incurred  by  our  necessary  athletic  program.  We  cannot 
depend  in  the  future  on  the  extra  generosity  of  a  few  men,  nor 
should  a  college  with  ten  thousand  living  alumni  wish  to  be  so 
dependent.  Many  can  share  this  expense  with  little  cost  to  each, 
and  this  is  the  manner  in  which  such  things  should  be  done. 

Under  present  conditions  proper  athletic  programs,  designed 
to  build  physical  strength  for  our  young  people  and  to  teach 
them  how  to  compete  cleanly  and  fairly,  are  more  desirable 
than  ever.  Bucknell  must  remain  attractive  to  those  who  plan 
to  enter  college,  and  the  Bison  Club  believes  that  a  sound  ath- 
letic program,  combined  with  our  high  standards  of  scholar- 
ship, will  keep  our  University  one  which  appeals  to  alert  and 
ambitious  youth. 

If  you  are  not  a  Bison,  we  invite  you  to  join  forces  with  us 
now  by  sending  your  gift  of  ten  dollars  to  the  Alumni  Office 
at  Lewisburg  and  requesting  membership  in  the  Bison  Club.

Dr.  Lewis  E.  Theiss,  '02,  author  of 
approximately  thirty  books  and  Buck- 
nell professor,  has  written  "Flying 
with  the  C.  A.  A.,"  which  recently  has 
been  published  by  W.  A.  Wilde  Co., 
Boston,  Massachusetts.  "Flying  with 
the  C.  A.  A."  is  a  story  of  two  youths, 
one  a  Bucknell  graduate,  who  entered 
the  Civil  Aeronautics  Authority  Fly- 
ing Course,  and  after  successfully 
completing  this  course  and  receiving 
further  instruction  from  P.  A.  A.  pi- 
lots and  an  instructor  of  Army  and 
Navy  flyers,  they  own  their  own  plane. 
During  their  flights  they  discover  evi- 
dence suggesting  sabotage  in  an  im- 
portant defense  project.  Throughout 
the  entire  book  we  see  two  lads  devot- 
ing their  time  and  efforts  for  their 
Country  and  toward  the  defense  work 
of  America.  The  story  has  much  de- 
tailed information  about  flight  instruc- 
tion, geography,  and  instrument  fly- 
ing. 

"American  Local-C  o  1  o  r  Stories," 
published  by  the  American  Book  Com- 
pany, 88  Lexington  Avenue,  New  York 
City,  ($3.50)  is  a  volume  of  sixty- 
three  stories  edited,  with  an  introduc- 
tion, by  Harry  R.  Warfel,  '20,  profes- 
sor of  English  at  the  University  of 
Maryland,  and  G.  Harrison  Orians, 
professor  of  American  Literature, 
University  of  Toledo.  These  stories 
of  local-color  fiction  represent  the 
works  of  thirty-eight  different  authors 
from  James  Hall  (1793-1868)  to  Zona 
Gale  (1873-1939),  and  portray  each 
of  the  main  geographical  sections  of 
the  United  States.  The  differences  in 
mode  of  thought,  in  traditions,  in  dia- 
lect that  set  apart  "the  New  Eng- 
lander  from  the  Southerner  and  from 
the  Westerner,  the  city  dweller  from 
the  farmer,  the  old  English  stock  from 
the  more  recent  immigrant"  are  well 
illustrated  by  these  stories. 

In  Volume  28,  number  5,  of  the 
Journal  of  the  American  Dental  Asso- 
ciation an  article  appeared  entitled, 
"Dentistry's  Contribution  to  Inter- 
American  Relations,"  by  Harry  H. 
Pierson,  '28.  In  that  article  Mr.  Pier- 
son  said  that  one  of  the  fundamentals 
in  the  development  of  closer  inter- 
American  relations  is  "the  mutual  rec- 
ognition that  each  culture  has  much 
to  receive  and  much  to  give.  The 
question  is,  therefore,  to  find  out  what 
aspects  of  the  culture  of  each  conti- 
nent have  developed  to  a  point  where 
they  can  be  shared  with  the  other,  and 
what  aspects  are  still  in  the  stage 
where  they  will  benefit  from  a  more 
advanced  experience."  Continuing  he 
said,  "There  will  be  no  disputing  the 
fact  that  there  is  one  field  in  which 
the  United  States  can  be  a  'giving' 
rather  than  a  'receiving'  nation,  and 
that  field  is  dentistry  in  all  its 
branches." 

Mr.  Pierson  pointed  out  in  his  ar- 
ticle that  there  are  several  ways  in 
which  dental  education  can  be  of  as- 
sistance to  the  Latin  American  coun- 
tries. These  are:  (1)  by  having  a 
program  of  fellowships  and  scholar- 
ships which  would  raise  dental  stand- 
ards throughout  the  continent;    (2)  by 


Those  Were  the  Good  Old 
Days  at  Bucknell 

(Continued  from  page  5.) 

Saturday  mornings  from  9:  00  to  12:  00 
the  literary  societies  met  for  speeches 
and  debates.  In  1880  the  first  Honor 
Course  was  offered.  (I  was  the  first  to 
take  it.)  About  this  same  time  the  elec- 
tive courses  were  beginning  to  be  offered 
at  Bucknell. 

Physical  education  was  not  given  the 
prominent  place  in  the  college  curricu- 
lum that  it  holds  today.  When  the 
river  dam  was  kept  in  repair  to  float 
canal  boats  to  the  crosscut,  there  was  a 
boat  club,  but  when  the  dam  went  out 
the  boat  club  went  along.  The  other 
equipment  for  exercise  consisted  of  a 
series  of  rings  suspended  from  a  cross 
log  back  of  Old  Main.  Hand  ball  was 
also  played  by  using  the  blank  wall  of 
West  Wing  before  Old  Main  was  built. 
Baseball  followed. 

Perhaps  the  most  startling  facts  to  be 
revealed  to  the  present  generation  are  in 
connection  with  college  expenses.  In 
1855,  when  the  University  was  just 
eleven  years  of  age,  tuition  at  the  college 
was  $30.00  per  year,  and  for  those  at- 
tending the  Academy  it  was  $20.00. 
Other  college  expenses  were  as  follows: 

Room  Rent — $7.50  per  year 

Furniture  (if  provided  by  the  Univer- 
sity )— $3.00 

Library  Fee— $2.00 

Boarding — $2.00  per  week 

Washing — $.25  per  week  (this  in- 
cluded collecting  the  laundry  and  re- 
turning it) 

Apart  from  the  College  which  was 
strictly  for  men,  there  was  the  Bucknell 
Female  Institute.  The  young  ladies 
were  housed  in  the  Buffalo  House  which 
was  located  half  a  mile  from  the 
campus,  diagonally  opposite  the  Court 
House.  It  was  "furnished  in  the  most 
suitable  manner  without  regard  to  cost." 
A    library   was   provided    for   the   girls. 


the  offering  of  assistance  to  worthy 
students  from  other  American  repub- 
lics and  from  United  States  who 
are  prevented  from  accepting  the  fel- 
lowships by  the  high  cost  of  travel ; 
(3)  by  establishing  short  courses  and 
so-called  "refresher"  courses  for  more 
mature  persons  who  wish  to  improve 
or  replenish  their  knowledge  of  spe- 
cialized subjects;  (4)  by  establishing 
traveling  clinics;  (5)  by  being  very 
hospitable  to  visiting  dentists;  (6)  by 
disseminating  scientific  information 
through  the  motion  picture  and  the 
printed  page. 

[10] 


Donations  were  "gladly  received;  novels, 
romances,  and  trashy  literature,  re- 
jected." 

When    Larison    Hall   was    completed, 
the    Female    Institute    was    moved    into 
this  new  building  situated  in  the  midst 
of  a  six-acre  grove  of  oak  trees  which 
was  surrounded   by   a   board   fence.     A 
garden  was  located  where  the  tulip  bed 
is    today.      The   principal    and    teachers 
lived   with   the   girls,   and   each   teacher 
was   "housemother"   in  her  hall.     Each 
week  one  teacher  was  appointed  to  ring 
the   bell    for   classes    and   to   take   those 
girls  to  town  who  needed  to  see  a  den- 
tist, doctor,  or  go  to  a  store.     Each  day 
all  the  girls  were  taken  for  a  walk.     At 
least  two  teachers  went  with  them,  one 
leading  the  procession  and  the  other  one, 
the  more  important  of  the  two,  follow- 
ing.    In  this  same  manner  they  marched 
to    church   twice   each    Sunday,    and    to 
prayer  meeting  on  Wednesday  evenings. 
No  callers  of  the  opposite  sex,  except 
brothers    and    near    relatives,    were    al- 
lowed  to   visit   the   girls,    save    for   one 
occasion.     That  was  the  annual  Soiree 
given  by  the  "middle  years."     The  boys 
could    come    to   this    affair,    which   was 
held  in  the  schoolroom,  if  they  were  in- 
vited.    Four  girls  seated  at  two  pianos 
furnished  the  music.     Essays  were  read 
by  the  "middle  year"  girls.     When  a  girl 
read   her  essay,   a   friend  or  two  would 
stand  beside  her  to  keep  up  her  morale. 
After   the   program  was  over,   the  girls 
and    boys   went   across   the   hall   to   the 
parlor  and  marched  around  the  room  in 
couples     forming     an     elongated     circle. 
They     then     indulged     in     conversation. 
When  conversation  lagged,  weather  and 
etc.  having  been  settled,  the  young  man 
passed  his  girl  over  to  his  friend,  or  if 
she  was  not  a  good  conversationalist,  to 
his  enemy. 

Yes,  those  were  the  good  old  days  at 
Bucknell — days  which  have  long  since 
passed  by.  Only  a  few  pictures,  books, 
alumni,  and  faculty  members  remain 
who  can  tell  us  of  the  "Bucknell  of  yes- 
terday." In  its  place  stands  the  "Bucknell 
of  today"  with  modern  equipment  and 
broad  curriculums  which  meet  the  chal- 
lenge of  a  complex  civilization  and  offer 
to  young  men  and  young  women  un- 
usual opportunities  for  leadership.  I 
am  certain  that  the  author  of  a  future 
article  like  this,  looking  back  over  a 
similar  period  of  eighty-four  years  from 
2026  A.  D.,  will  be  able  to  show  even 
greater  progress  for  Bucknell  than  it  has 
been  my  privilege  to  see.

ment Speaker 

This  year  Bucknell  University  will  be

Dr.  Sayre's  career  has  been  a  brilliant 
one.  He  has  held  many  educational  and 
governmental  positions.  From  1914  to 
1917  he  was  assistant  to  the  president  of 
Williams  College  and  was  instructor  in

Emeritus  Club  to  Be 
Organized 

An  Emeritus  Club  will  be  organized 
at  Bucknell  on  the  occasion  of  the  Fifti- 
eth Anniversary  of  the  Class  of  '92  on 
Alumni  Day,  May  23.  All  alumni  who 
attended  Bucknell  fifty  or  more  years 
ago  are  eligible  for  membership  and 
urged  to  be  present  at  the  General 
Alumni  Association  luncheon  to  receive 
their  certificates.  Each  year  at  com- 
mencement time  the  Emeritus  Club  will 
elect  its  own  officers  who  will  make  ar- 
rangements for  the  year's  activities  in 
service  and  enjoyment. 

Members  of  the  Class  of  '92  are  asked 
to  send  a  brief  autobiography  to  their

dents.  An  additional  hour  of  physical 
education  each  week  for  freshmen  and 
sophomores  has  been  added,  making  a 
total  of  three  hours;  and  physical  edu- 
cation will  be  required  for  juniors  and 
seniors  beginning  with  the  June  term. 
Men  are  being  given  an  opportunity  to 
take  semi-military  training  under  the 
direction  of  a  reserve  officer.  Students 
may  qualify  for  civilian  defense  work  by 
completing  the  defense  courses  now 
being  offered  and  may  wear  the  O.  C.  D. 
insignia.  The  defense  courses  include 
those  for  Fire  Watchers,  Auxiliary  Fire- 
men, Medical  Corps,  Nurses'  Aides,  First 
Aid,  Bomb  Squads,  Auxiliary  Police, 
Rescue  Squads,  and  Air  Raid  Wardens. 

Men  have  an  opportunity  of  securing 
commissions  with  the  armed  forces  by 
enlisting  while  in  college.  These  enlist- 
ments may  permit  them  to  finish  a  part 
or  all  of  their  college  course.  Defer- 
ments have  been  secured  mainly  for  en- 
gineering, chemistry,  physics,  and  bi- 
ology students.  Special  plans  for  enlist- 
ments are  provided  by  the  Marine  Corps 
Reserves;  Midshipman,  United  States 
Naval  Reserves;  Apprentice  Seaman; 
Aviation  Cadet;  and  Officers  Training 
School.  About  two  hundred  and  sixty- 
five  students  and  alumni  are  now  serv- 
ing with  the  armed  forces. 

Bucknell  students  may  learn  to  fly  and 
secure  their  civilian  pilots'  licenses 
through  the  Civil  Aeronautics  Authority. 
The  actual  flight  training  is  given  at  the 

[11] 


Danville  Airport  and  the  ground  work 
on  the  Bucknell  campus.  There  will  be 
three  or  more  training  periods  during 
the  year. 

The  accelerated  program  is  optional 
for  all  students  except  engineers.  Stu- 
dents enrolled  in  Liberal  Arts,  Biology, 
Physics,  Education,  and  Commerce  and 
Finance  may  complete  their  work  in 
three  years.  This  means  that  a  freshman 
entering  Bucknell  June  8,  1942,  can 
graduate  in  May,  1945.  Students  en- 
rolled in  Engineering  and  Chemistry  are 
able  to  complete  their  work  in  two  years 
and  eight  months.  Thus  an  engineering 
or  chemistry  student  entering  Bucknell 
in  June,  1942,  can  graduate  in  January, 
1945.  The  additional  cost  for  the  ac- 
celerated program  is  for  the  June  term. 
Freshmen  may  now  enter  Bucknell  in 
June,  September,  or  February. 

The  Bucknell  Summer  School  will  be 
conducted  as  usual,  except  that  in  con- 
junction with  the  regular  June  term,  it 
will  be  able  to  offer  more  courses  and 
greater  opportunities.  The  Summer 
School  will  be  divided  into  two  six- 
week  periods;  one  beginning  June  8, 
and  the  other  July  20.  Graduate  courses 
in  education  begin  on  June  15  and  con- 
tinue for  five  six-day  weeks. 

Bucknell  in  wartime  is  functioning 
with  renewed  spirit  and  energy.  Aside 
from  the  many  changes,  the  enrolment 
for  the  second  semester  is  the  largest  in 
the  history  of  the  University.  The  ap- 
plications for  admission  this  year  are 
comparable  to  previous  years.  In  fact, 
the  general  scholastic  standing  of  those 
applying  is  higher.  Bucknell's  all-out 
effort  during  the  National  Emergency  is 
achieving  results,  and  it  has  an  unusual 
incentive  to  "keep  'em  rolling"  with 
President  Marts  rendering  outstanding 
service  to  the  Nation  as  Director  of 
Pennsylvania  State  Council  for  Defense. 
With  the  loyal  support  of  her  alumni, 
Bucknell  can  meet  every  emergency,  al- 
ways using  her  influence  on  the  side  of 
religion,  justice,  and  freedom. 

Copies  of  the  new  booklet,  Meeting 
the  War  Emergency  at  Bucknell,  may  be 
secured  by  writing  to  the  Alumni  Office.

1876 

N.  Hoffman  Moore,  of  1041  Blue 
Avenue,  Zanesville,  Ohio,  died  on  De- 
cember 23  following  a  heart  attack. 
Mr.  Moore  was  born  on  May  12,  1854. 
In  1873  he  entered  Bucknell.  When 
he  returned  to  his  hometown,  he  as- 
sisted in  compiling-  a  county  atlas  and 
met  with  such  success  that  he  assisted 
in  preparing  similar  atlases  in  coun- 
ties of  Pennsylvania  and  New  York. 
After  completing  this  work,  he  en- 
tered the  employ  of  the  Brown  Manu- 
facturing Company  and  was  identified 
with  this  firm  for  sixty  years. 

In  addition  to  his  regular  work,  Mr. 
Moore  also  had  many  other  interests. 
He  was  one  of  the  founders  of  the 
Equitable  Savings  Bank  in  Zanesville 
and  was  one  of  the  subscribers  to  a 
fund  to  build  the  first  Fifth  Street 
bridge,  a  wooden  structure  costing 
$16,000.  Before  the  bridge  was  built 
most  of  the  Terrace  residents  were 
forced  to  use  the  "Y"  bridge  which 
took  them  about  a  mile  out  of  their 
way.  Mr.  Moore's  interest  in  high- 
way improvement  was  shown  shortly 
after  he  purchased  his  first  automo- 
bile in  1914,  when  he  conceived  the 
idea  of  painting  lines  on  public  high- 
ways. He  wrote  to  the  Secretary  of 
State  telling  him  about  his  plan.  It 
was  soon  adopted  and  put  into  gen- 
eral use.  It  was  not  until  a  few  years 
ago  that  Mr.  Moore  was  given  the 
credit  due  him  for  having  conceived 
such  an  idea. 

1880 

Mrs.  Edgar  D.  Faries,  nee  Eliza- 
beth Gerhart,  a  loyal  and  devoted 
alumna,  died  at  her  residence  at 
Chestnut  Hill,  Philadelphia,  Pennsyl- 
vania, on  November  19,  1941. 

Mrs.  Faries  was  born  in  Lewisburg 
and  went  to  the  Bucknell  Female  In- 
stitute. After  her  graduation,  she 
taught  art  there.  When  she  married 
Mr.  Edgar  D.  Faries,  they  moved  to 
Philadelphia  where  Mrs.  Faries  took 
an  active  part  in  the  affairs  of  her 
community.  For  several  years  she 
served  as  president  of  the  Philadel- 
phia Alumna;  Club.  Surviving  her 
are  her  husband,  prominent  Philadel- 
phia attorney,  three  daughters,  and 
four  sons. 

1886 

Mrs.  Annie  Bell  Evans  Coe  died  at 
the  home  of  her  daughter,  Mrs.  Paul 
G.  Stolz,  of  Lewisburg,  on  February 
27,  1942.  After  her  gi-aduation  from 
Bucknell  in  1886,  she  pursued  addi- 
tional training  at  the  Baptist  Insti- 
tute, Philadelphia,  and  then  went  as 
a  government  social  worker  to  Hope 
Indian  Reservation  near  Phoanix, 
Arizona. 

After  her  marriage  to  the  late  Pro- 
fessor Curtis  P.  Coe,  she  went  with 
her  husband  to  Wood  Island,  Kodiak, 
Alaska,  where  they  were  engaged  in 
educational  and  social  work  for  thir- 
teen years.  After  they  returned  to 
the  States,  they  lived  at  McMinnville, 


Dr.  Edward  C.  Kunkle,  '97 

toryville,  Pennsylvania,  where  Mr. 
Curtis  was  headmaster  of  Keystone 
Academy.  After  his  death,  Mrs.  Coe 
and  her  son,  Curtis,  took  charge  of 
the  School. 

1892 

The  death  of  Warren  L.  Kauffman 
occurred  on  January  25,  1942,  at  the 
Harrisburg  Hospital. 

1896 

On  December  21,  1941,  Dr.  Frederick 
W.  Brown  died  at  his  home  after  be- 
ing ill  for  about  a  year.  He  was 
sixty-eight  years  of  age. 

Dr.  Brown  will  be  remembered  at 
Bucknell  both  as  a  student  and  as  a 
teacher.  After  he  completed  his  un- 
dergraduate studies  in  1896,  he  at- 
tended the  University  of  Michigan 
where  he  received  degrees  both  in  law 
and  in  medicine.  Later  he  returned 
to  Bucknell  and  became  a  member  of 
the  faculty.  In  1903,  he  went  to 
Franklin  where  he  entered  upon  the 
practice  of  medicine  in  which  he  was 
engaged  for  approximately  thirty- 
seven  years. 

1897 

"Doctor  Edward  C.  Kunkle  has  left 
us.  About  his  daily  mission  on  one 
day,  he  departed  the  next.  He  showed 
us  a  good  way  to  go.  He  worked — 
and  he  died.  But  not  Doc.  Only  his 
body  died.  He  could  not  die.  Our 
Beloved  Chairman  of  the  Scholarship 
Fund  is  with  us  still.  His  spirit  is 
ours  forever. 

"A  Bucknellian  before  most  of  us 
in  the  Metropolitan  area,  Ed  went  to 
the  Academy  as  a  lad  and  then  fin- 
ished his  undergraduate  work  at  the 
University,  graduating  in  1897.  In 
1901  he  was  a  bachelor  of  Divinity 
of  the  University  of  Chicago  Divinity 
School. 

[16] 


"Following  graduation  .  .  .  Dr. 
Kunkle  was  Pastor  of  Baptist 
Churches  ...  in  Kenosha,  Wiscon- 
sin; Scottdale,  Pennsylvania;  Wilkes- 
Barre,  Pennsylvania,  and  West  Ches- 
ter, Pennsylvania.  In  the  World  War 
he  served  his  country  as  Chaplain 
with  the  forces  in  France.  Later  Dr. 
Kunkle,  who  received  his  doctor's  de- 
gree from  his  Alma  Mater,  led  the 
promotional  work  of  the  denomination 
with  headquarters  in  N.  Y.  C.  His 
field  was  the  Baptist  Churches  of  two 
Baptist  Association,  the  Southern 
New  York  and  Long  Island.  He  re- 
tired on  November  1,  1940. 

"Dr.  Kunkle  was  a  friend  of  man, 
of  no  matter  what  color  or  creed. 
His  kindly  face  and  sincere  soul  be- 
longed together  in  the  one  Christian 
personality.  To  know  Edward  Kunkle 
was  to  love  him. 

"We  of  the  alumni  mourn  his  loss. 
We  count  it  a  high  privilege  to  have 
fellowship  with  him.  We  need  a  mul- 
titude to  rise  up  to  follow  in  his  steps 
for  Bucknell  University  and  for  the 
Kingdom  of  God  on  earth." 

This  was  the  memorial  tribute  paid 
by  the  Metropolitan  Alumni  Associa- 
tion to  Dr.  Edward  C.  Kunkle  who 
passed  away  on  October  14,  1941.  He

In  the  October  16,  1941  issue  of 
The  Watchman-Examiner  an  article, 
"The  Church  of  My  Childhood,"  writ- 
ten by  Maud  E.  Hanna  Pitt,  wife 
of  Dr.   David  A.  Pitt,   '02,   appeared. 


In  this  article  she  tells  about  Ballston 
Spa,  New  York,  where  her  father,  Dr. 
William  T.  C.  Hanna,  was  pastor  of 
the  First  Baptist  Church  from  1880- 
1890.  When  Mrs.  Pitt  together  with 
her  husband  visited  this  church  on  the 
occasion  of  its  sesquicentennial  last 
July,  she  saw  again  the  scenes  of  her 
childhood  and  recalled  pleasant  mem- 
ories. Thus,  was  inspired  the  writing 
of  her  article.

Mr.  Rush  H.  Kress,  prominent  Buck- 
nell alumnus  and  vice-president  of

into  Phi  Beta  Kappa,  national  honor- 
ary scholastic  fraternity,  on  Home- 
coming Day,  October  18,  1941.  Mr. 
Kress  was  elected  to  membership  in 
the  fraternity  because  of  the  out- 
standing record  he  made  while  in  col- 
lege and  the  achievements  he  has  ac- 
complished since  graduation. 

1900 

On  the  evening  of  the  day  that 
Pearl  Harbor  was  bombed,  a  celebra- 
tion was  held  in  Fairbanks,  Alaska, 
commemorating  the  twentieth  anni- 
versary of  the  founding  of  the  Uni- 
versity of  Alaska  and  of  the  presi- 
dency of  Dr.  Charles  E.  Bunnell,  its 
first  president.  A  radio  broadcast 
from  Fairbanks,  at  the  time  of  the 
celebration,  said  in  part,  "During  the 
twenty  years  of  the  institution's  ex- 
istence, it  has  made  valuable  contri- 
butions in  the  field  of  scientific  re- 
search. Most  outstanding  perhaps  are 
the  archaeological  contributions  made 
by  the  Museum  Department,  which 
have  attracted  world-wide  recogni- 
tion. Noteworthy,  too,  is  the  recog- 
nition of  the  University  by  the  North- 
west Association  for  Professional  De- 
velopment, which  accredits  the  School 
of  Mines  and  the  Civil  Engineering 
Department  and  graduates  among  the 
major  engineering  societies  of  the 
United  States  and  Canada." 

Typical  of  the  growth  of  the  Uni- 
versity is  that  of  its  first  president, 
Dr.  Bunnell.  Upon  being  graduated 
from  Bucknell  University  in  1900 
with  first  honors,  he  went  to  Wood 
Island  and  then  to  Kodiak  Island, 
Alaska,  to  teach  in  a  mission  school. 
For  seven  years  he  taught  in  mission 
and  public  schools  and  then  he  gave 
up  teaching  for  the  practice  of  law. 

[19] 


He  became  judge  of  the  Fourth  Judi- 
cial Division  of  Alaska  on  appointment 
by  President  Wilson.  This  position  he 
resigned  in  1921  to  accept  the  pres- 
idency of  the  institution  he  now  heads. 
For  forty-two  years  he  has  held  this 
significant  place  in  the  life  and  cul- 
ture of  our  farthest  northern  terri- 
tory.  19Q2 

Fortieth   Anniversary — May   23,    1942

forty-four  and  one-half  years  in  pub- 
lic school  work.  Mr.  Snyder  taught 
school  six  years  before  entering  col- 
lege. After  graduation  he  was  super- 
vising principal  of  the  Berwick 
Schools  until  he  went  to  Slatington, 
Pennsylvania,  as  supervising  prin- 
cipal  of  the   schools   in  that  commu-

The  Chemical  Industry  Medal  for 
1941  was  presented  to  Dr.  Elmer  K. 
Bolton,  Bucknell  University  Trustee 
and  Chemical  Director  of  E.  I.  duPont 
de  Nemours  &  Co.,  at  a  joint  meeting 
of  the  American  Section  of  the  So- 
ciety of  Chemical  Industry,  the  New 
York  Section  of  the  American  Chem- 
ical Society,  and  the  New  York  Section 
of  the  American  Institute  of  Chemical 
Engineers  held  at  the  Chemists'  Club 
in  New  York  City  on  November  7. 

Dr.  Bolton  spoke  on  "The  Develop- 
ment of  Nylon"  and  revealed  that 
about  230  chemists  and  engineers 
were  engaged  at  one  time  or  another 
in  this  co-operative  effort.  He  as- 
serted that  nylon  yarn  is  the  first 
truly  synthetic  fiber,  and  has  a  closer 
similarity  in  both  constitution  and 
properties  to  silk  than  any  other  fiber. 
"For  the  first  time,"  he  said,  "the 
supremacy  of  silk  in  the  full-fash- 
ioned hosiery  industry  is  threatened." 

Dr.  Bolton  was  born  at  Philadel- 
phia and  was  graduated  from  Buck- 
nell University  with  a  Bachelor  of 
Arts  degree.  He  received  a  Master  of 
Arts  degree  and  a  Ph.D.  degree  from 


Harvard  University.  Under  the  Shel- 
don Fellowship  awarded  by  Harvard 
University,  Dr.  Bolton  did  post-doc- 
torate research  at  the  Kaiser  Wilhelm 
Institute  for  Chemists  in  Berlin.  In 
1915,  when  he  returned  from  Europe, 
he  entered  the  employ  of  the  duPont 
Company.  Since  1930  he  has  been 
Chemical  Director  of  this  Company, 
and  he  had  been  intimately  associated 
with  the  research  leading  to  the  de- 
velopment of  neoprene  and  nylon. 

Mrs.  Herbert  J.  Schoellkopf  (Helen 
E.  Sturr)  reported  that  her  address  is

In  the  January,  1942,  issue  of  The 
Reader's  Digest  an  article  entitled 
"Fitting  the  Worker  to  the  Job"  writ- 
ten by  Frank  F.  Taylor  told  about  the 
outstanding  work  Dr.  Doncaster  G. 
Humm,  psychologist  for  the  Los  An- 
geles public  schools,  has  done  in  in- 
dustrial psychology.  Mr.  Taylor  first 
mentioned  a  speech  Dr.  Humm  made 
in  1928  at  which  time  the  latter  said, 
"You  wouldn't  think  of  hiring  a  phys- 
ically handicapped  man  to  climb  tele- 
phone poles.  Mental  health  and  tem- 
perament are  just  as  important  in  in- 
dustry as  physical  fitness."  The  ex- 
periments which  Dr.  Humm  carried  on 
at  the  request  of  Guy  T.  Wadsworth, 
Jr.,  personnel  manager  of  the  Coast 
Counties  Gas  Company,  since  merged 
into  Pacific  Lighting,  brought  forth 
worth  while  results.  The  outgrowth 
of  the  experiment  was  the  Humm- 
Wadsworth  Temperament  Scale  and 
other  tests  which  have  since  been  en- 
dorsed by  the  employers  of  large 
groups  of  men  in  other  plants  and 
factories.  "Dr.  Humm  says  the  goal 
of  the  employee  selection  and  evalua- 
tion program  is  to  simplify  industrial 
relations  and  provide  happier  work- 
ing conditions." 

1910 

Mrs.  Nellie  Reed  Gatehouse,  wife 
of  William  H.  Gatehouse,  wrote  the 
following  poem  which  she  dedicated  to 
the  Class  of  1910  on  its  thirtieth  anni- 
versary : 

Thirty  Years  After 

'Twas  thirty  years  ago,  you  know, 
That  you  left  old  Bucknell, 

To  seek  your  fortune  in  the  world 
And  make  that  fortune  tell. 

The     Class     then     numbered     ninety 
some; 

A  few  have  passed  away; 
They've  left  behind  a  memory  bright, 

To  guide  you  on  your  way. 

You've    traveled    far    from    place    to 
place, 
In  search  for  gold  and  fame; 
But  through  the  years,  we  feel  that 
you 
Have  played  a  fair  straight  game. 


If  time  would  only  backward  turn, 
And  bring  the  days  of  yore, 

When   you  were  students  young  and 
gay. 
What  fun  you'd  have  in  store. 

If  you  could  only  climb  the  hill, 

And  to  the  classroom  go; 
To  meet  Professors,  girls  and  boys, 

Your  hearts  with  joy  would  glow. 

But  time  will  never  backward  turn, 

No  matter  what  or  when ; 
So  you  must  ever  be  content; 

All  hail  to  Nineteen  Ten.

For  the  duration  of  the  National  Emergency,  Bucknell  University  will  offer  an  opportunity  for  all  students  to 
take  their  college  work  in  a  shortened  period  of  time.  This  reduction  in  the  time  normally  required  for  the  com- 
pletion of  college  work  is  made  possible  by  adding  a  third  term  beginning  in  June  and  by  shortening  or  eliminating 

certain  vacation  periods.  The  standard  of  instruction  will 
be  the  same  as  for  the  regular  four-year  course.  The 
additional  expense  for  a  student  will  be  for  the  June 
term.  Students  not  desiring  to  take  the  accelerated  pro- 
gram may  take  the  regular  four-year  course.  Engineering 
students  are  required  to  take  the  shortened  course.

Dear  Bucknellian: 

For  the  first  time  in  twenty-four  years  Bucknell  begins 
its  Fall  Semester  with  America  at  War.  For  over  a  year — • 
since  long  before  Pearl  Harbor — Bucknell  has  been  mobi- 
lizing and  preparing  for  wartime  strength.  Hundreds  of 
Civilian  Defense  volunteers  have  been  enlisted  and  trained ; 
social  and  extra-curricular  activities  have  been  reduced ;  the 
accelerated  three-year  program  has  been  launched ;  physical 
education  has  been  made  compulsory  for  all  students;  new 
wartime  courses  have  been  introduced ;  near-by  citizens  have 
been  trained  for  war  industrial  jobs;  hundreds  of  men  stu- 
dents have  been  helped  to  enlist  in  the  military  or  naval 
reserve  corps  which  have  been  created  for  college  students. 
Bucknell  has  been  an  energetic  leader  among  American  col- 
leges in  dedicating  its  resources  to  the  Service  of  America. 

The  indication  is  that  the  colleges  of  America  will  be 
called  upon  by  our  National  leaders  to  gear  themselves  even 
more  closely  to  the  war  effort  during  the  college  year  which 
is  now  opening.  If  and  when  further  calls  come,  the  faculty 
and  trustees  and  students  of  Bucknell  will  respond  with 
energetic  co-operation. 

Hundreds  of  Bucknell's  recent  alumni  and  students  are 
now  in  uniform,  serving  here,  there,  almost  everywhere 
around  the  world  where  America  is  waging  battles  for  our 
way  of  life.  To  each  of  them  and  to  all  of  them,  I  send 
the  affectionate  greetings  of  Bucknell.  Keep  the  flag  flying 
high  and  come  back  to  us  when  the  war  is  over  to  receive 
our  praise  and  thanks. 

One  certain  thing  this  war  is  teaching  us  about  Bucknell. 
Here  on  the  Bucknell  campus  is  the  very  essence  of  the 
way  of  life  for  which  we  are  now  fighting.  Our  little 
Bucknell  world  of  intelligence,  of  honor,  of  self-discipline, 
of  friendliness,  of  idealism,  is  the  kind  of  life  which  would 
bless  any  part  of  the  world  which  would  embrace  it.  As  we 
observe  and  ponder  over  the  human  faults  and  attitudes  and 
greeds  which  have  brought  this  holocaust  to  mankind,  we 
realize  that  Bucknell  has  been  teaching  a  way  of  life  con- 
trary in  every  particular  to  the  ideas  and  ideals  of  those  who 
brought  this  war  on.  We  now  know  more  surely  than  ever 
before  that  Bucknell  is  a  precious  and  sacred  place  which  is 
a  living  earnest  of  the  better  world  which  all  civilized  man- 
kind shall  some  day  inherit. 

May  all  Bucknellians  fight  the  forces  of  evil  today,  and 
sustain  the  forces  of  civilization  in  all  the  days  ahead. 

Cordially  yours, 


Q.k.0^

Accelerated  Program   Functioning 
Successfully 

/T)  UCKNELL  opened  its  fall  term  with  a  capacity 
JLJ  enrollment.  All  dormitory  accommodations 
are  filled,  and  the  total  enrollment  is  1,309  students 
— 763  men  and  546  women.  Thus  in  spite  of  the 
present  situation  men  are  still  predominant  on  the 
campus.  Bucknell  is  also  providing  accommodations 
and  training  for  twenty  flying  cadets  for  the  Navy. 
The  number  of  students  in  college  probably  will  be 
greatly  affected  during  the  year  by  an  increasingly 
larger  number  of  men  students  being  called  into 
active  service  and  by  a  large  number  of  students 
graduating  in  February. 

The  Accelerated  Program  established  last  spring 
has  been  functioning  successfully.  More  than  555 
students  were  in  attendance  at  the  new  war  term  in 
June,  and  as  a  result  approximately  103  will  grad- 
uate in  February.  All  senior  engineers  will  graduate 
in  February. 

Four  hundred  and  twenty  freshmen,  carefully  se- 
lected from  a  large  group  of  applicants,  were  admit- 
ted to  Bucknell  this  fall.  This  fine  freshman  class 
resulted  from  the  loyal  co-operation  of  Bucknellians 
everywhere. 

When  the  Student  Admissions  Program  was  estab- 
lished five  years  ago  and  alumni  chairmen  were  ap- 
pointed in  Pennsylvania,  New  York,  and  New  Jersey, 
President  Marts  asked  all  alumni  to  give  the  program 
their  full  co-operation.  The  alumni  response  to  his 
request  has  resulted  in  a  large  number  of  applications 
each  year  from  a  very  desirable  group  of  young  men 
and  young  women.  Many  more  prospective  students 
have  applied  than  can  be  accommodated,  thus  mak- 
ing the  admission  of  students  highly  selective.  Today, 
in  the  midst  of  war,  the  need  for  further  alumni  co- 
operation is  greater  than  ever  before,  so  let's  keep 
the  Bucknell  flag  flying  higher  and  higher!

sions are  free  except  the  General  Session  on  Friday,

C7fOMECOMlNG  at  Bucknell  is  just  around  the 
k_J  \y  corner,  "so  pack  up  your  troubles  in  your  old 
kit  bag  and  smile,  smile,  smile."  Don't  let  an  empty 
gas  tank  or  rubberless  tires  prevent  you  from  seeing 
old  friends  and  classmates  "on  the  hill." 

Yes,  it  is  true  that  transportation  may  not  be  equal 
to  other  years,  but  it  should  be  remembered  that  the 
"old  grads"  returned  to  the  campus  even  before  gaso- 
line was  the  principal  propelling  force.  Trains, 
horses,  and  even  canal  boats  brought  Bucknellians 
to  the  campus  in  days  gone  by.  Today,  with  good 
train  and  bus  connections  to  Lewisburg,  transporta- 
tion facilities  are  much  better  than  they  were  before 
the  automobile  age — so  why  not  decide  to  visit  the 
campus  for  one  brief  day  and  enjoy  with  us  the  many 
events  which  have  been  planned. 

Homecoming  activities  will  begin  with  the  Bison 
Club  breakfast  at  the  Hotel  Lewisburger  at  9:00  a.  m. 
At  11:00  o'clock  the  Homecoming  Parade  will  pass 
in  review.  Football  will  be  highlighted  this  year 
when  Bucknell  clashes  on  the  gridiron  at  2:15  with 
her  former,  old-time  rival,  Lafayette.  This  is  the 
game  you  will  not  want  to  miss!     Another  of  the 


The  Homecoming  parade  will  march  down  Market  Street 


Attend  the  Alumni  Banquet  in  the  Women's  Dining  Hall 

principal  events  is  the  Alumni  Banquet,  to  which  all 
are  invited.  It  is  scheduled  for  6:00  p.  m.  in  the 
Women's  Dining  Hall.  Good  food  and  an  interest- 
ing, brief  program  await  you  there.  Last,  but  not 
least,  will  be  the  Alumni  Dance,  one  of  the  big  cam- 
pus dances  of  the  year,  at  8:30  o'clock  in  the  Davis 
Gymnasium  when  Jack  Kenney  and  his  orchestra  will 
provide  music  "the  way  you  like  it." 

If  you  need  any  assistance  in  making  your  plans 
for  returning  to  participate  in  Bucknell's  1942  Home- 
coming events,  on  October  31,  the  Alumni  Office 
will  be  glad  to  help  you.

TO  LOIRS'  LATEST  LOG 

U.  S.   to   India   and    Return 
By  Evelyn  McGann  Leaber,  '18 

C~>°HE  Leabers  departed,  kept  on  going  and  going, 
\_J  always  in  a  westerly  direction,  until  finally 
they  all  returned  again  to  the  same  spot  from  which 
they  had  started.  No  surprise  swims,  no  rescues,  no 
utilized  life  rafts,  no  horrible  adventures,  really 
nothing  but  pure,  unadulterated  good  luck  attended 
their  trippings.  Consequently,  they  have  many  pleas- 
ant experiences,  giggly  episodes,  and  narrow  escapes 
to  tell  their  friends  and  acquaintances.  But  if  you 
really  prefer  thrills,  the  Leabers  are  happy  to  say 
you  will  have  to  omit  them  and  listen  to  others; 
"Cy"  Follmer,  '15,  who  retained  his  slim  waistline 
at  a  luxurious  hotel  in  Germany  where  Crisco  on  a 
piece  of  bread  was  cause  for  a  celebration;  or  Sam 
Rickard,  '23,  and  Ada  Thomas  Rickard,  Music  '21, 
accompanied  by  their  four  sons,  who  courageously 
walked  into  India  from  Northern  Burma.  So  the 
Leabers  feel  extremely  fortunate  to  have  had  just 
lucky  skips  through  the  war-infested  world. 

Said  Leabers  consist  of  Chet,  '19,  Evelyn  McGann, 
'18,  and  daughter,  Patricia  Ann,  aged  13  years.  Chet 
left  Williamsport,  Pennsylvania,  Sunday,  Septem- 
ber 3,  1939,  the  day  war  was  declared  by  England. 
He  had  planned  to  go  to  India  on  an  Italian  boat 
across  the  Atlantic,  through  the  Mediterranean  Sea, 
Suez  Canal,  Red  Sea,  and  then  across  the  Arabian  Sea 
to  Bombay.  He  had  to  change  routes,  and  go  via 
the  Pacific.  He  set  sail  from  San  Francisco  on  the 
5.5.  Asama  Maru,  Japanese,  to  Penang,  and  from 
there  went  on  a  small  British  India  boat  to  Calcutta. 
Hongkong  or  the  5.5.  Terakuiii  Maru  proved  too 
much  for  Chet.  He  arrived  in  Calcutta  with  typhoid 
fever.  On  that  particular  trip  of  the  S.S.  Terakuiii 
Maru,  it  traveled  on  to  England,  hit  a  mine  just  off 
the  southwest  coast  and  went  to  the  bottom  of  the 
English  Channel,  one  month  after  Chet's  disembarka- 
tion. I  have  always  felt  that  if  the  Terakuni  carried 
typhoid  germs,  I  could  think  of  no  better  resting 
place.  Since  then,  I  have  found  other  good  reasons 
to  continue  to  think  the  resting  place  still  extremely 
appropriate. 

Just  to  try  to  keep  the  family  together  occasionally, 
Patricia  and  I  thought  we  would  enjoy  two  years  in 
India.  We  sailed,  therefore,  from  San  Francisco 
November  27,  1940,  on  the  5.5.  President  Harrison. 
We  visited  Pearl  Harbor,  Manila,  Singapore,  Penang, 
and  Colombo  en  route  and  landed  in  Bombay  on  Jan- 
uary 13,  1941.  There  Chet  met  us  and  accompanied 
us  1,500  miles  across  the  Indian  Peninsula  to  Cal- 
cutta. We  so  enjoyed  getting  back  there  and  visiting 
again  with  our  many  friends.  One  year  later,  our 
boat,  the  5.5.  President  Harrison,  disappeared  in

/LIEUTENANT  EDWARD  M. 
cb~>  MILLER,  '38,  son  of  Hugh  M. 
Miller,  Jr.,  and  Ruth  Murray  Miller,  of 
Upper  Darby,  Pennsylvania,  was  killed 
in  a  ground  accident  in  the  Far  Eastern 
Theater  of  Operations  on  June  5,  1942. 
He  was  the  first  Bucknellian  to  be  killed 
in  service  for  his  Country  in  World 
War  II.  Lieutenant  Miller  entered  the 
Army  Air  Corps  in  March,  1941.  Dur- 
ing his  training  for  a  commission,  he 
served  as  cadet  captain  and  was  also 
editor-in-chief  of  the  Pee-Tee,  publica- 
tion of  the  cadets  at  the  Dan  Aero  Tech, 
Albany,  Georgia.  He  was  married  to 
Miss  Frances  Myers  in  San  Francisco  on 
New  Year's  Eve,  1941,  two  weeks  be- 
fore he  was  sent  to  Australia. 

His  classmates  and  others  will  re- 
member him  at  Buck  n  ell  for  his 
qualities  of  leadership  and  his  fine  per- 
sonality. While  at  Bucknell,  he  was  art 
editor  of  L! Agenda  in  1938,  and  he 
painted  a  mural  on  the  walls  of  the 
Orange  and  Blue  Room  at  Hotel  Lewis- 
burger.  In  addition  to  being  known  for 
his  artistic  ability,  he  was  an  outstand- 
ing golfer.  Lieutenant  Miller  was  a 
member  of  Kappa  Sigma,  social  frater- 
nity, and  Pi  Delta  Epsilon,  honorary 
journalistic  fraternity.  He  was  also  a 
member  of  the  Men's  Glee  Club,  the 
Advertising  Club,  the  Commerce  and 
Finance  Club,  and  was  vice-president  of 
the  Art  Club. 

In  a  letter  written  to  Edward's  father, 
General  H.  H.  Arnold,  Lieutenant  Gen- 
eral, U.  S.  A.,  Commanding  General  of 
the  Army  Air  Forces,  praised  Lieutenant 
Miller's  ability  as  a  soldier  as  follows: 
"I  have  been  informed  of  the  fine  mili- 
tary record  which  Lieutenant  Miller 
made  overseas  and  of  the  high  regard 
in  which  he  was  held  by  all  with  whom 
he  served.  He  was  in  every  respect  a 
flying  officer  of  unusual  courage  and 
ability." 

Thus  a  gallant  and  loyal  Bucknellian 
gave  his  life  in  service  for  his  Country.

Dear  Mother  and  Dad  .  .  . 

This  is  sort  of  a  Red  Letter  day,  and  so  I  thought 
that  I  might  use  the  type  most  applicable  to  the  occa- 
sion. ...  It  seems  that  right  about  this  time  you 
owe  me  some  money  Pop  on  accounta  I  got  me  some 
"Nips"  to  decorate  the  walls  with  at  home.  .  .  . 
Saturday,  your  little  Eddie  was  on  alert  and  finally 
the  alarm  came  through  that  the  "Nips"  were  put- 
tin'  on  another  air  raid  ...  so  up  we  went  to  look 
for  them  .  .  .  and  did  we  find  'em  ...  so  many  that 
we  didn't  quite  know  what  to  do.  We  were  lucky 
enough  to  see  them  long  before  they  saw  us  so  that 
we  were  able  to  get  into  perfect  position  for  attack 
...  up  in  the  sun,  and  they  never  saw  us  until  we 
were  almost  on  top  of  them  and  by  that  time  it  was 
too  late  and  we  were  really  throwin'  the  lead  at  'em 
in  big  doses  .  .  .  they  started  smokin'  and  broke 
formation.  ...  I  picked  out  two  of  them  and  went 
after  them  .  .  .  blew  up  the  first  one  and  when  I 
was  gettin'  the  second  one  three  "Nip"  fighters  got 
on  my  tail  and  from  there  on  in  it  was  a  merry  "Rat 
Race."  .  .  .  They  put  three  holes  in  "Frannies'  "  tail, 
and  so  you  can  see  I  really  had  the  good  Lord  ridin' 
dual  with  me  .  .  .  but  I  finally  did  shake  them  or 
of  course  I  wouldn't  be  writin'  this  little  letter. 


Well,  you'd  think  that  this  would  be  enough,  for 
one  day,  but  not  me,  I  had  to  go  and  get  "cocky"  and 
this  is  where  the  story  really  begins.  I  came  back 
and  had  my  ship  gassed  up  and  filled  with  ammuni- 
tion and  while  they  were  doing  this  I  heard  that  there 
was  another  raid  going  on  over  another  area  .  .  . 
and  since  I  was  so  damn  cocky,  I  figured  that  I  would 
have  another  crack  at  them  and  there  was  where  I 
really  got  in  a  jam  'cause  I  went  off  to  look  for  them 
myself  and  got  myself  so  lost  that  I  didn't  know 
whether  I  was  in  Australia,  Timbuktu,  or  where 
.  .  .  and  believe  me  this  is  not  the  country  to  be 
gettin'  lost  in  because  you  very  seldom  come  back 
when  you  do. 

(Continued  on  page  15.) 


While  "Ed."  Miller  was  art 
editor  of  the  1938  V Agenda 
he  made  a  number  of  draw- 
ings to  illustrate  the  dif- 
ferent sections  of  the  book.

Dear  Bill: 

•  Your  letter  is  surely  appreciated.     It  has  been  at  least  five 
years  since  I  have  heard  directly  from  you  and  perhaps  a  year 
since  I  have  had  news  about  you.     I'm  glad  to  hear  all  is 
well  with  you  and  Louise  and  the  youngsters  and  that  you 
are  considering  a  more  direct  part  in  the  war  effort.     I'll 
gladly  get  the  information  you  have  requested  and  send  it 
along.   Hope  they  make  you  a  General. 

I  thought  you  knew  all  about  the  Bison  Club  and  its 
activities  but  apparently  neither  the  good  old  "grapevine" 
nor  the  columns  of  the  Alumni  Monthly  can  demand 
your  attention.     Some  day  take  an  hour  off  and  read  two 
issues  of  the  Monthly — October,  1941,  and  May,  1942. 
The  former  contains  about  a  dozen  interesting  items  by 
interesting  people,  telling  much  of  the  story.  The  latter 
carries  a  one-page  resume  of  the  Club's  accomplish- 
ments with  particular  emphasis  on  the  financial  angle 

You  have  asked  me  to  give  you  my  reasons  for 
joining  the  Club  and  working  for  its  success.    You 
have  a  right  to  be  surprised  when  you  find  a  busy  guy 
who  was  not  a  former  athlete  as  active  as  I  am  in 
the  Club's  affairs.    I'm  telling  you  my  reasons  with 
the  understanding  that  if  these  reasons  are  convinc- 
ing  to  you,  you  will  immediately  sign  the  enclosed 
application  for  membership  and  send  along  your 
$10  dues. 

1.  The  Bison  Club  has  liquidated  $50,000  of  the 
Bucknell  debt  during  the  past  three  years.  That's  worth 
$10  to  any  Bucknellian,  isn't  it? 

2.  The   contributions   of   the  Club   permit    Bucknell   to  maintain   a   reasonable   athletic 

program.  Yearly  deficits  were  fast  discouraging  an  adequate  program  of  athletics  until  the  B.C.  came 
along  to  lick  the  deficit.  To  do  this  part  of  the  job  comfortably  we  need  to  double  our  $10  member- 
ships.   We  want  600  members. 

3.  The  membership  is  constantly  alert  for  new  recruits  for  Bucknell,  provided  they  are  good  students  who 
can  make  good  grades. 

4.  The  Club  has  recaptured  for  Bucknell  the  interest  of  several  hundred  alumni.  This  is  true  in  my  own 
case.  Oh,  I  belonged  to  the  Alumni  Association  and  once  a  year  I  turned  out  for  a  meeting  but  that's 
about  as  far  as  it  went.  Now  I'm  giving  some  time  to  helping  the  college  and  I'm  getting  a  big  kick 
out  of  it. 

5.  The  Club  has  brought  together  many  men  with  common  interests  who  have  drifted  apart. 

6.  The  activities  of  the  Club  permit  each  member  to  feel  that  he  is  not  only  helping  his  Alma  Mater  but, 
by  so  doing,  he  is  helping  to  keep  alive  an  institution  typical  of  our  American  way  of  life  in  typical 
American  fashion — each  one  doing  a  small  part  of  a  big  job. 

I  have  heard  other  reasons  for  Club  membership  expressed  by  some  of  our  present  300  members  but 
the  above  are  sufficient  for  me  and  I  hope  they  will  be  for  you.  Nothing  would  please  me  more  than  to 
have  the  pleasure  of  adding  your  name  to  the  roster 

I'll  send  you  the  other  information  you  want  right  soon.     Meanwhile,  why  don't  you  send  me  your 

application  and  check.  ^       i  u    •-      •  i

By  W.  C.  Lowther,  '\U 
President,  General  Alumni  Association 

A  T  the  meeting  of  the  General  Alumni  Asso- 
_x/jt  ciation  at  Commencement  in  May,  your  Board 
of  Directors  re-elected  me  President  for  another 
year.  I  appreciate  the  honor  more  than  I  can  say 
and  thank  each  and  every  one  of  them  for  their  con- 
fidence, and  I  will  "carry  on"  to  the  best  of  my  abil- 
ity. Please  let  me  impress  upon  you  once  more  that 
your  officers  are  merely  your  representatives,  and  we 
are  here  to  serve  you.  If  you  have  any  suggestions 
for  the  good  of  Bucknell  or  your  Association,  please 
let  us  have  them  and  we  will  do  our  part  in  present- 
ing them  to  the  proper  authorities. 

Last  year  was  one  of  our  greatest  years  in  activities 
among  the  various  local  alumni  groups.  Four  new 
charters  were  granted  to  alumni  in  widely  scattered 
areas  and  their  work  has  already  been  felt  back  on 
"the  Hill."  Since  Commencement,  a  new  Alumni 
Association  was  formed  in  Denver,  Colorado,  and  a 
charter  will  be  presented  to  them  at  their  first  meet- 
ing this  fall.  When  Miss  Emma  Dillon,  one  of  our 
vice-presidents,  decided  that  she  would  attend  the 
convention  of  the  American  Bar  Association  in  Den- 
ver, she  contacted  our  Alumni  Secretary  and  told  him 
about  her  plan  of  forming  a  new  club.  He  liked  the 
idea  and  volunteered  to  assist  in  planning  the  meet- 
ing and  to  send  an  invitation  from  Miss  Dillon  to 
all  Bucknellians  in  that  area  inviting  them  to  have 
dinner  with  her. 

There  is  a  challenge  to  each  of  you  alumni.  What 
we  need  are  hundreds  more  like  Miss  Dillon.  What 
will  you  do  to  match  her  enthusiastic  work  for  old 
Bucknell?  We  need  a  live-wire  to  organize  groups 
in  Los  Angeles,  San  Francisco,  and  dozens  of  other 
cities. 


For  years  we  alumni  have  looked  forward  to  the 
fall  of  1942  when  the  entering  Freshman  class  would 
be  known  as  the  Class  of  1946  and  would  be  grad- 
uated in  Bucknell's  centennial  year.  Tentative  plans 
have  already  been  made  for  our  one  hundredth  cele- 
bration but  like  everything  else  they  have  been  laid 
away  for  the  duration.  Under  the  accelerated  pro- 
gram some  members  of  the  Class  of  1946  will  be 
graduated  in  1945,  while  others  will  have  entered 
the  various  services  of  their  country.  Therefore,  in- 
stead of  honoring  the  Class  of  1946  alone,  let  us 
hope  and  pray  that  the  war  will  be  over  for  our 
centennial  celebration  and  that  we  can  honor  all  the 
Bucknellians  who  are  so  ably  helping  to  preserve  our 
democratic  way  of  life  in  the  various  branches  of  the 
armed  forces. 

Homecoming  Day  is  set  for  Saturday,  October  31. 
One  of  the  events  will  be  the  football  game  with  the 
Bucknell  Bisons  being  hosts  to  the  Lafayette  Leop- 
ards. There  will  also  be  the  alumni  dinner  and  dance 
and  lots  of  other  events  and  attractions.  But  best  of 
all  you  will  meet  once  more  Mary,  Carrie,  and  Tom 
and  Dick  and  Harry  to  reminisce  and  relive  the  days 
you  all  spent  "On  the  Hill."  I  know  it  will  be  diffi- 
cult for  you  to  get  back  to  Lewisburg  under  the  pres- 
ent conditions  but  it  is  surely  worth  a  great  effort. 
Won't  you  please  try  to  be  "among  the  present." 

I  talked  to  "Pep"  Dawson,  the  President  of  the 
Bison  Club,  the  other  day,  and  he  told  me  they  have 
had  quite  an  increase  in  membership  during  the  past 
few  months  but  still  need  about  200  more  loyal  Buck- 
nellians to  join.  The  Bison  Club  is  really  doing  a 
remarkable  job,  so  come  to  the  Bison  Club  breakfast 
on  Homecoming  Day  and  hear  the  astounding  report 
in  full.  We  need  your  support.  Send  your  applica- 
tion to  the  Alumni  Office  today. 

JOIN  NOW 

Why  wait  longer? 

Make  the  Bison  Club  Stronger.

V\.  &bwa\b  IV.  PancoulH,  75 

/OAST  May  the  members  of  the  General  Alumni 
cr-m>  Association  elected  Dr.  Edward  W.  Pangburn, 
'15,  to  the  Board  of  Trustees  of  Bucknell  University. 
Dr.  Pangburn,  one  of  Philadelphia's  outstanding 
physicians  and  surgeons  and  recently  commissioned 
a  Lieutenant  Commander  in  the  United  States  Navy, 
has  loyally  served  Bucknell  for  many  years. 

His  interest  in  alumni  affairs  has  been  very  ap- 
parent. For  two  terms  he  held  the  office  of  president 
of  the  General  Alumni  Association,  and  at  the  pres- 
ent time  he  is  a  member  of  the  Board  of  Directors 
of  that  organization.  He  has  actively  supported  the 
affairs  of  the  Philadelphia  Alumni  Club  of  which  he 
is  a  member. 

Dr.  Pangburn  has  also  had  a  strong  interest  in 
athletics  at  Bucknell.  For  a  number  of  years  he  has 
been  a  member  of  the  Athletic  Council  and  has  been 
a  member  of  the  Bison  Club.  He  has  acted  as  physi- 
cian for  the  football  team,  accompanying  them  on 
their  trips  to  other  universities.  On  several  occasions, 
Dr.  Pangburn  has  also  presented  trophies  to  young 
men  at  Bucknell  for  athletic  competition.  * 

Thus  after  serving  his  Alma  Mater  in  various  ca- 
pacities since  his  college  days,  Dr.  Pangburn  is  now 
offering  assistance  to  her  as  a  member  of  the  Board 
of  Trustees. 


A  T  Commencement  on  May  23,  1942,  Professor 
^/J.  Frank  M.  Simpson  retired  after  forty-two 
years  of  teaching  service  at  Bucknell  University.  He 
is  now  Professor  of  Physics,  Emeritus. 

Professor  Simpson's  association  with  Bucknell  be- 
gan when  he  came  to  the  University  in  1891  as  a 
freshman.  He  received  a  Bachelor  of  Science  degree 
from  the  University  four  years  later  and  a  Master  of 
Science  degree  in  Biology  from  his  Alma  Mater  in 
1897.  Professor  Simpson  also  took  graduate  work 
in  biology  at  the  biological  laboratory  at  Cold  Spring 
Harbor,  New  York,  and  graduate  courses  in  physics 
at  Cornell  University,  Ithaca,  New  York. 

After  being  graduated  from  Bucknell,  he  taught 
Science  for  three  years  at  the  Hall  Institute,  Sharon, 
Pennsylvania,  and  for  two  years  at  the  Delaware 
Academy,  Delhi,  New  York,  resigning  to  accept  a 
position  in  the  Science  Department  of  the  Bucknell 
Academy.  In  1902,  he  was  appointed  to  the  Univer 
sity  faculty  as  an  Instructor  in  Drawing,  and  in  1903, 
he  became  Instructor  in  Physics  and  Drawing.  One 
year  later  Professor  Simpson  was  advanced  to  the 
rank  of  Assistant  Professor  of  Physics,  and  in  1907, 
to  Professor  of  Physics,  which  position  he  held  until 
he  retired  in  May. 

In  connection  with  his  work,  Professor  Simpson 
has  published  two  books — "Experimental  Physics,"  a 
text  for  students  taking  first-year  laboratory  work;

0NE  of  Bucknell's  brave  and  daring  warriors  is 
Flight  Commander  George  R.  Burgard,  '38, 
who  for  approximately  one  year  fought  in  China  as 
a  member  of  the  "Flying  Tigers."  Major  Burgard, 
as  he  was  known  to  the  Chinese  Army,  was  commis- 
sioned a  lieutenant  in  the  United  States  Army  Air 
Corps,  but  he  gave  up  his  rank  and  chose  instead  a 
life  of  unsurpassed  adventure  and  excitement  about 
which  most  of  us  have  read  but  few  of  us  have  been 
able  to  equal. 

After  the  "Flying  Tigers"  disbanded  on  July  3, 
Flight  Commander  Burgard  returned  to  the  United 
States.  In  commenting  about  some  of  his  many  ex- 
periences, he  said  that  the  Japanese  fliers  are  skillful 
and  daring  and  their  planes  are  well  equipped,  but 
the  pursuit  ships  of  the  A.V.G.  are  more  sturdy  and 
have  greater  firing  power.  "Japanese  aviators  ma- 
chine-gunning   airmen    parachuting    from    damaged 


planes  is  not  propaganda  talk.  They  got  my  best 
friend,  George  Chrisman,  that  way,"  he  stated. 

One  of  George  Burgard's  exciting  moments  was 
when  he  escaped  from  a  Japanese  airman  who  got 
on  the  tail  of  his  ship  as  he  was  returning  to  the 
base  with  ammunition  exhausted.  Burgard  said,  "A 
stream  of  bullets  shattered  my  instrument  panel  and 
that  was  the  first  I  knew  I  had  a  Jap  on  my  tail.  But 
my  P-40,  the  fastest  diving  plane  in  the  skies,  saved 
my  life.  I  went  into  a  dive,  doubled  and  twisted 
until  I  lost  the  Jap.  But  that  first  burst  of  bullets 
just  missed  me  by  a  hair's  breadth."  Another  time, 
Flight  Commander  Burgard's  plane  crashed  in  a  jun- 
gle where  he  wandered  around  for  about  an  hour 
until  he  finally  found  his  way  back  to  civilization. 

When  addressing  the  Rotary  Club  recently  in  his 
home  town,  Sunbury,  Pennsylvania,  Flight  Com- 
mander Burgard  stated  that  the  Europeans  in  the  Far 
East  had  lived  in  Oriental  splendor  before  the  war. 
When  the  city  of  Rangoon  was  evacuated,  the  Amer- 
ican fiehtine  force  remained  there  alone,  undisturbed 
except  for  the  regular  bombing  each  night  by  the 
Japs.  The  American  fighters  lived  in  the  magnificent 
houses  of  the  Europeans  where  they  found  food, 
clothing,  and  comfortable  sleeping  quarters.  After  it 
seemed  quite  evident  that  the  owners  would  not  come 
back,  Burgard  and  his  companions,  badly  in  need  of 
clothing,  put  on  garments  which  were  as  nearly  cor- 
rect in  size  as  possible.  When  they  reported  the  next 
day  for  duty,  each  man  appeared  in  a  different  type 
of  dress — evening  wear,  business  suits,  slacks,  and 
golf  knickers. 

For  his  outstanding  service  to  the  Chinese  Gov- 
ernment, George  Burgard  was  decorated  by  General 
Chiang  Kai-shek  in  person.  He  received  the  Chinese 
Distinguished  Flying  Cross,  which  is  also  known  as 
the  Order  of  the  Banner  of  the  Cloud,  a  medal  given 
to  all  fliers  who  fell  five  or  more  enemy  planes.  Buck- 
nell's "Flying  Tiger"  downed  a  total  of  fourteen 
planes. 

One  year  of  excitement,  however,  has  not  brought 
to  a  close  Flight  Commander  Burgard's  activities  as 
aviator.  He  now  has  a  position  with  the  American 
Export  Airlines  ferrying  planes  for  the  United  States 
Navy.

O'^TNHILE  Coach  "Al"  Humphreys  and  his  1942 
VjZ/  squad  of  stalwart  Bison  gridmen  shoot  their 
fingers  skyward  in  the  emblematic  "V  for  Victory" 
fashion,  every  turn  in  the  current  football  wars  will 
find  these  gentlemen  prepared  for  the  stiff  opposi- 
tion they  anticipate. 

For  anything  can  happen — as  it  usually  does  in 
football — and  Coach  Humphreys  is  not  counting  on 
any  miracles.  With  seven  out  of  nine  teams  which 
the  Bisons  face  this  fall  already  indicating  they  will 
use  freshmen  in  their  first-string  line-ups  and  with 
a  difficult  schedule  staring  them  in  the  face,  the 
Bisons  need  more  than  the  usual  amount  of  thunder 
and  jounce  to  meet  with  average  success. 

To  help  along  the  cause  Coach  "Al"  Humphreys 
has  assembled  one  of  the  largest,  yet  most  inexperi- 
enced squads,  in  his  six  years  at  Bucknell.  Of  the 
forty-three  candidates,  only  three  have  had  two  years 
of  varsity  experience,  seven  have  had  one  year  with 
the  squad  and  eighteen  played  with  the  freshman 
crew  last  year.  In  addition,  fifteen  yearlings  have 
been  invited  to  participate  in  the  pre-season  workouts 
and  may  see  action  if  their  prowess  warrants  their 
services  in  the  fall  campaign.  The  freshmen  will 
probably  not  make  the  first  team,  at  least  not  at  the 
start,  but  some  good  reserves  may  come  from  the 
group. 


With  emphasis  on  conditioning  tiffs  year  because 
of  the  war's  demand  for  the  physical  betterment  of 
American  youth,  Coach  Humphreys  hopes  to  add  to 
the  effort  by  whipping  the  boys  into  a  "winning 
frame  of  mind."  However,  the  Bison  mentor  and  his 
aides,  "Bus"  Blum  and  John  Sitarsky  are  faced  with 
the  difficult  assignment  of  melting  replacements  into 
varsity  form  along  the  forward  wall  and  in  three 
slots  in  the  backfield. 

Since  Walter  Szot  and  Tom  Rodgers,  youthful 
tackles  from  last  year,  received  more  than  an  over- 
dose of  service  in  their  initial  dive  into  college  foot- 
ball, the  situation  at  this  post  appears  hopeful.  Co- 
Captains  "Bill"  Anderson,  guard,  and  "Steve"  Sokol, 
center,  working  side  by  side  on  the  Herd's  wall,  will 
lend  experience  and  dash  to  the  workings  of  the  line. 
Leading  candidates  for  the  other  guard  berth  are 
Denton  Brown  and  William  Bontempi,  up  from  the 
sophomore  ranks  of  last  season.  Veteran  "Len"  Mil- 
ler will  be  at  one  of  the  wing  posts — with  Eugene 
Matthews  and  Ernest  Querino  the  main  candidates 
for  the  other  end  assignment. 

In  the  backfield  bivouac,  Chester  Podd  has  been 

moved  from  fullback  to  the  signal-calling  role  this 

season.     "Al"   Magagna,   seasoned   performer  with 

only  one  year  of  varsity  experience,  will  man  a  half-

Commander  Reuben  W.  Shrum,  '08, 
Assists  in  Divine  Services 

>^)OMMANDER  REUBEN  W.  SHRUM,  '08,  who 
\_J  became  a  chaplain  in  the  United  States  Navy 
during  World  War  I  and  who  will  complete  in  the 
near  future  twenty-five  years  of  service  with  the 
Navy,  is  on  duty  at  the  Jacksonville  Naval  Air  Sta- 
tion as  Senior  Chaplain. 

Commander  Shrum  has  seen  wide  service  afloat 
and  ashore.  After  World  War  I,  he  visited  twenty- 
eight  European  countries  as  chaplain  aboard  the 
U.S.S.  Pittsburgh.  During  the  Coolidge  Adminis- 
tration, he  was  chaplain  aboard  the  presidential 
yacht,  Mayflower.  He  has  also  served  at  the  Coast 
Guard  Academy  at  New  London,  Connecticut,  and 
aboard  the  U.S.S.  Saratoga,  Naval  Aircraft  Carrier. 

Last  fall  when  the  historic  meeting  between  Pres- 
ident Roosevelt  and  Prime  Minister  Winston 
Churchill  was  held  "somewhere  in  the  North  Atlan- 


tic," Commander  Shrum  had  the  distinction  of  assist- 
ing the  British  Chaplain  in  conducting  divine  services 
aboard  H.M.S.  Prince  of  Wales.

back  slot  and  take  his  turn  in  the  safety  berth.  Des- 
perately in  need  of  a  ball-throwing  artist,  Coach 
Humphreys  may  sieve  the  backfield  candidates  from 
the  1941  freshman  squad  to  fill  the  pass-tossing  posi- 
tion usually  lodged  at  the  other  halfback  post.  Two 
outstanding  fullback  candidates,  Chester  Johnson  and 
Ray  Tyler,  will  undoubtedly  provide  the  downfield 
zest  and  direct  power  for  the  Thundering  Herd. 

The  Bisons  expect  to  roll  into  high  gear  by  the 
time  the  Homecoming  clash  makes  its  appearance  on 
the  1942  schedule.  It  promises  to  be  an  outstanding 
classic;  for  Lafayette  is  the  attraction — one  of  those 
rivals  from  way  back  now  appearing  again  for  the 
first  time  since  1883.  "Hooks"  Mylin,  who  preceded 
Humphreys  at  Bucknell,  is  the  Lafayette  mentor  and 
will  be  treading  on  familiar  ground  when  he  brings 
his  Easton  collegians  here  for  the  Homecoming  clash.

Well,  to  make  a  long  story  shorter  ...  I  flew  for 
over  three  hundred  miles  without  seeing  a  sign  of 
civilization.  About  the  last  hundred  miles  of  which 
was  spent  in  prayer,  and  I  do  mean  prayer  .  .  .  and 
as  though  in  answer  to  that  prayer  I  found  a  little 
mission,  which  had  a  small  salt  lake  bed  about  five 
miles  through  the  bush  from  it  .  .  .  and  it  was  there 
that  I  put  "Frannie"  with  only  about  five  more  min- 
utes of  fuel  left.  .  .  .  When  I  landed,  the  wheels 
sunk  into  the  soft  sand  and  the  plane  went  up  on 
her  nose,  but  I  was  traveling  so  slow  when  she  went 
up  on  her  nose  that  the  only  damage  was  to  the 
"prop."  .  .  .  Anyway,  I  wasn't  too  worried  about 
the  plane  at  the  moment;  instead  I  struck  out  through 
the  jungle  for  the  mission  which  in  the  meantime 
had  sent  out  some  Aborigine  natives  to  find  me.  .  .  . 
When  I  finally  did  come  across  them,  they  just  scared 
the  livin'  daylights  right  out  of  me  because  they  are 
absolutely  the  wildest  lookin'  people  that  it  is  pos- 
sible to  imagine  .  .  .  but  they  could  speak  a  little 
English  that  the  missionaries  had  taught  them,  and 
was  Eddie  ever  relieved.  .  .  .  They  took  me  on  into 
the  mission  where  they  gave  me  water  and  food.  .  .  . 
This  was  one  of  the  most  amazing  experiences  that 
one  could  have.  These  natives,  although  they  are 
the  wildest  looking  people,  are  just  like  little  chil- 
dren and  are  really  a  sight  to  see.  They  are  like  some- 
thing you  would  see  in  the  National  Geographic. 
either  that  or  in  a  nightmare.  They  have  the  most 
horrible  tattoo  marks  all  over  their  bodies  and,  when 
they  are  in  the  "bush,"  wear  little  or  no  clothing 
although  when  they  are  around  the  mission  they  wear 
a  pair  or  shorts  or  a  loin  cloth.  .  .  .  When  I  first 
came  in,  they  thought  I  was  a  Jap  because  they  had 
never  seen  a  plane  like  mine  before,  and  as  a  result 
they  all  ran  into  the  jungle  in  various  directions  like 
that  proverbial  cat  that  always  seems  to  get  hit  in 
the  tail.  .  .  .  But  when  the  two  that  came  out  to  get 
me  let  them  know  that  I  was  friendly  they  all  came 
out  to  see  me,  with  all  the  curiosity  of  small  chil- 
dren .  .  .  gigglin'  and  laughin'  and  sayin'  hello  all 
in  one  breath.  .  .  .  They  had  never  seen  a  white  man 
as  tall  as  I  was  so  that  I  was  as  much  a  curiosity  to 
them  as  they  were  to  me.  .  .  . 

The  next  day  they  came  out  to  help  me  dig  Fran- 
nie out  of  the  sand,  and  I  was  able  to  get  some  pic- 
tures of  them  doing  this  which  I  hope  I  will  be  able 
to  keep.  .  .  .  Anyway  we  managed  to  dig  her  out 
with  the  native  boys  workin'  away  because  they 
seemed  to  feel  that  it  was  their  own  particular  prob- 
lem to  get  it  out.  .  .  .  They  brought  a  new  "prop" 
down  and  are  putting  it  on  now,  and  the  plane  that 
brought  down  the  prop  flew  me  back.  .  .  .  And  so 

[1 


here  I  am  on  alert  again  and  waiting  for  some  more 
"Nips."  .  .  . 

Well,  that  seems  to  be  about  all  the  news  there  is 
to  tell  for  the  present  and  it  should  be  able  to  get 
through  the  censors  O.K.  If  it  doesn't,  it  will  be 
something  more  for  me  to  tell  you  all  when  your 
little  boy  comes  sailin'  home.  ...  Be  good  my  loves, 
and  remember  always  that  I  love  you  both  very  much 
and  be  sure  to  take  care  of  yourselves  and  write  as 
much  as  possible,  because  although  I  haven't  received 
any  mail  in  all  these  months  sooner  or  later  it  will 
catch  up  to  me.  .  .  .  My  love  to  Bubs  and  Murray 
and  Margaret  and  Mary  .  .  .  and  give  little  Frances 
a  kiss  for  me  on  accounta  I  love  her  very  much.  .  .  . 

Lots  and  lots  of  love  and  a  bunch  of  hugs  an' 


Eddie. 


kisses.  .  .  .  Your  loving  son  .  .  .

The  Leabers'  Latest  Log 

(Continued  from  page  3.) 

Shanghai,  either  by  being  blown 
up  or  taken  over  by  the  Japanese. 
On  March  13,  1941,  Pat  started 
to  an  American  school  in  the  hills, 
northeast  of  Delhi.  She  traveled 
with  a  school  party  two  nights  and 
one  day  by  train  to  Dehra  Dun. 
From  there  she  climbed  twenty 
miles  to  5,500  feet  above  sea  level 
by  bus  to  a  landing  called  Kin 
Craig.  Then  by  foot  she  trudged 
three  miles  farther,  climbing  an- 
other 1,500  feet.  An  older  person 
would  prefer  traversing  these  same 
three  miles  in  a  dandy,  a  chair  car- 
ried by  four  coolies.  There  Pat 
found  Woodstock,  the  buildings 
perched  upon  knolls  where  a  knoll 
could  be  sufficiently  broadened  to 
accommodate  a  building.  She  dis- 
covered Sam,  Jr.,  John,  and  Don- 
ald Rickard  attending  the  same 
school.  Their  school  term  was 
from  March  until  November,  and 
then  they  had  their  so-called  "sum- 
mer holidays"  in  the  winter.  It  is 
something  to  have  four  future 
Bucknellians  together  in  a  school 
one  and  one-half  miles  up  in  the 
air,  but  even  more  so  to  have  them 
10,000  miles  from  home.

Broadcasts  Dramatize  the  War 
Emergency  Program 

In  order  to  tell  the  Nation  about  Buck- 
nell's  part  in  helping  America  win  the 
war,  a  series  of  broadcasts  are  being  pre- 
sented to  radio  audiences. 

From  the  banks  of  the  picturesque  Sus- 
quehanna River  at  Lewisburg,  Bucknell 
has  proclaimed  its  full  co-operation  with 
the  program  of  the  United  Nations  and 
has  pledged  itself  to  go  all-out  for  vic- 
tory. 

Bucknell's  President  —  the  Executive 
Director  of  the  Pennsylvania  State  Coun- 
cil for  Defense — its  students,  faculty,  and 
members  of  the  administration  are  doing 
all  within  their  power  to  aid  our  Gov- 
ernment in  the  war  effort  and  to  make 
the  Bucknell  campus  a  powerhouse  for 
democracy  and  civilization. 

The  first  broadcasts  in  the  series  have 
shown  how  the  optional  accelerated  col- 
lege program  makes  it  possible  for  stu- 
dents to  complete  their  work  in  three 
years  or  less ;  how  students  voluntarily 
reduced  extra-curricular  activities  fifty  per- 
cent in  order  to  devote  more  time  to  their 
studies  and  defense  courses;  and  how 
Bucknell  is  aiding  its  Community  with 
special  courses  in  engineering  and  chem- 
istry for  workers  in  defense  industries. 

The  first  broadcast  went  on  the  air 
from  the  studios  of  WOR,  New  York, 
and  the  second  originated  in  the  studios 
of  KYW,  Philadelphia,  and  was  carried 
by  wires  of  the  National  Broadcasting 
Company  to  Station  KDKA,  Pittsburgh. 
The  programs  were  produced  through  the 
co-operation  of  the  Bucknell  Radio  Work- 
shop. The  scripts  were  written  by  and 
the  broadcasts  were  under  the  direction 
of  Miss  Anita  Grannis  of  the  Edward  L. 
Wertheim  Agency,  New  York.  Students, 
faculty,  administrators,  and  alumni  par- 
ticipated in  the  broadcasts. 

The  next  broadcast,  "Inter-American 
Youth  for  Victory,"  will  be  held  on  Sat- 
urday October  17,  1942,  from  1:35  to 
2:00  p.  m.,  E.  W.  T.,  Station  WOR,  New- 
York,  and  will  be  carried  by  the  Mutual 
Broadcasting  System  from  coast  to  coast.

Mr.  Lotte,  a  native  of  Paterson  by 
birth,  received  his  college  education  at 
Bucknell.  During  World  War  I,  Mr. 
Lotte  served  in  France  as  a  captain. 
At  the  conclusion  of  the  war,  he  be- 
came associated  with  the  National  Silk- 
Dyeing  Company,  and  in  1922  toured 
France,  Germany,  and  Switzerland,  in- 
specting silk  plants.  In  1923  he  was 
made  a  member  of  the  board  of  direc- 
tors of  the  National  Silk-Dyeing  Com- 
pany, and  later  became  manager  of  its 
Dundee,  New  Jersey,  division.  In  1930 
he  became  president  of  the  Lotte 
Chemical  Company,  a  company  which 
supplies  chemicals  to  silk-dyeing  com- 
panies. 

Mr.  Lotte  was  well-known  in  his 
community  and  served  it  in  many  ways.

The  Leabers'  Latest  Log 

(Continued  from  page  14.) 

During  Pat's  holiday  in  December,  1941,  we  moved 
from  Calcutta  to  Bombay,  where  Chet  was  called  to 
do  some  special  work.  When  we  arrived  at  the 
blacked-out  station,  having  started  from  home  two 
hours  before  train  time,  we  found  the  floor  and  plat- 
forms literally  covered  with  humanity.  About  499,997 
others  were  leaving  Calcutta  at  the  same  time,  those 
others  thinking  Calcutta  might  be  pleasanter  viewed 
from  a  distance.  We  elbowed  and  tiptoed  through 
unusually  sparse  footspace.  Our  goal  was  to  get  on 
board  this  particular  Bombay  Mail  on  which  we  had 
reservations.  We  hoped  not  to  miss  it  as  thousands 
of  others  were  missing  trains.  We  finally  struggled 
through.  As  we  looked  back  through  the  car  win- 
dows, we  felt  extremely  sorry  for  the  mass  still  stand- 
ing, squatting,  sitting,  and  lying  on  the  platform, 
who  found  no  more  room  on  our  train  and  so  had 
to  wait  for  the  morrow. 

In  Bombay  we  found  a  delightful  flat  on  the  top 
floor  of  a  building  situated  on  the  crest  of  a  hill.  We 
enjoyed  the  sea  breeze  and  the  beautiful  panorama 
of  the  Arabian  Sea,  viewing  ten  miles  of  shore  and 
sea  expanse.  Suddenly  our  pleasure  was  curtailed  to 
fourteen  hours  out  of  every  twenty-four  hours.  We 
experienced  complete  blackout  from  dusk  to  dawn 
every  night.  The  Leabers  then  could  be  viewed  from 
ten  miles  out  at  sea.  Venetian  blinds,  curtains,  lined 
curtains,  dark  coverings  for  lamp  shades,  and  even- 
tually blackout  paper  on  each  window  finally  ob- 
scured our  light. 

In  February,  1942,  Singapore  was  falling,  Java  was 
threatened,  and  India  was  not  far  distant.  At  this 
moment,  two  of  our  largest  naval  transports  steamed 
into  Bombay  Harbor.  When  we  saw  "our  fleet  was 
in",  the  feeling  of  reassurance  was  most  comforting. 
The  American  flag  looked  mighty  fine.  The  Amer- 
ican transports  looked  mighty  big.  And  the  American 
Navy  looked  mighty  good. 

One  of  these  transports  was  ordered  directly  back 
to  a  port  in  the  U.  S.  A.  Our  American  Consulate 
then  informed  the  American  Colony  in  India  that 
there  were  officer  accommodations  for  three  hundred 
women  and  children  and  troop  accommodations  for 
many  men.  Pat  and  I  were  among  the  three  hundred 
women  and  children  who  had  to  make  up  their  minds 
quickly  and  pack  rapidly.  We  hoped  that  the  grey 
of  the  transport  would  look  like  the  sea,  the  guns 
would  look  formidable,  and  the  speed  would  be 
invincible. 

The  Arabian  Sea  and  Indian  Ocean  treated  us 
calmly,  but  the  heat  from  India,  Africa  and  the  equa- 
tor seemed  to  be  with  us  for  days.  As  we  approached 
the  Antarctic  Ocean,  we  still  had  calm  seas  but  de- 
lightful breezes.  We  were  most  desirous  to  see  South 


Africa,  but  no  one  had  any  visas.  We  did  a  great 
deal  of  audible  thinking  and  wishing.  Finally  our 
wishes  were  granted.  We  were  given  permits  to  go 
ashore.  We  read  our  permits — "Members  of  the 
crew."   We  surely  were  a  flossy  looking  Navy! 

We  found  the  South  Atlantic  calm  and  cool. 
Thank  goodness!  We  saw  very  few  ships.  Every 
ship  we  saw  made  our  hearts  sink  because  it  was  so 
difficult  to  distinguish  the  nationality.  The  ships  are 
all  painted  grey  and  have  no  flags  flying.  We  had 
the  same  sinking  feeling  when  we  saw  airplanes.  We 
were  told  by  our  crew  that  they  dreaded  "pineapples" 
from  planes  much  more  than  torpedoes  from  U-boats. 

The  North  Atlantic  was  rough  and  cold  and  grey 
and  gruesome.  Through  it  we  zig-zagged  success- 
fully. We  missed  foreign  and  hard  and  swift  ob- 
stacles merely  by  feet.  We  wished  it  would  stay  dark 
continuously.  We  hoped  the  moon  would  forget  to 
rise.  We  thought  the  Atlantic  Ocean  an  exceptionally 
long  ocean.  And  then  finally  about  eleven  o'clock 
one  morning  we  saw  land  on  the  starboard  side  of 
our  ship.  Wrong  side  or  right  side  land  was  in  view, 
after  sixteen  days  of  pushing  through  water  as  fast 
as  we  could.  After  a  half  hour,  our  navigator  came 
to  our  relief,  and  turned  the  bow  of  our  ship  toward 
the  northwest,  and  we  recognized  the  coast  of  New 
Jersey.  The  Statue  of  Liberty  stood  in  her  proper 
place  to  greet  us  formally.  The  Red  Cross  stood  on 
the  pier  to  greet  us  informally.  Lo  and  behold!  We 
discovered  then  that  we  were  refugees,  but  extremely 
happy  refugees.  Six  months  have  passed,  and  now 
this  third  ship  of  our  trips  has  been  badly  crippled 
by  fire.  One  month,  one  year,  six  months,  have  sepa- 
rated us  from  misfortune.   May  it  so  continue. 

On  July  13,  1942,  Chet  arrived  from  India  on  an 
Army  transport  with  1,450  others.  They  had  150 
Chinese  air  cadets  on  board  to  take  further  instruc- 
tions in  flying,  but,  to  Chet's  disappointment,  not  a 
laundryman  among  them.  Many  of  the  children  on 
the  ship  surprised  their  elders  by  getting  measles  at 
the  same  time,  to  keep  each  other  company.  The  pas- 
sengers stood  in  lines  for  food,  stood  beside  high 
tables  to  eat  the  food,  slept  in  tiers,  went  to  bed  at 
dusk  because  light  bulbs  had  been  removed,  and  exer- 
cised by  sitting  in  the  sun  to  look  healthy,  wealthy, 
and  wise  to  the  home  folk. 

After  having  said  "howdy"  to  us,  Chet  flew  by 
plane  August  14,  1942,  from  Miami  to  Panama  City, 
six  hours  away  from  Florida.  Air  mail  letters  take 
from  four  to  six  days  instead  of  four  to  six  weeks, 
as  from  India.  Chet  is  still  doing  the  same  thing, 
managing  a  branch  or  branches  of  The  National  City 
Bank  of  New  York,  hoping  that  wandering  Amer- 
icans may  be  safeguarded  financially.  At  present 
Patricia  and  I  are  not  among  the  wandering  Amer- 
icans. But  sand  is  again  seeping  into  our  shoes,  and 
it  may  be  that  at  some  not  too  distant  date,  we  shall 
be  emptying  that  sand  into  the  Panama  Canal.

ELECTRICAL  AND  RADIO  ENGINEERS  ARE  NEEDED 

BY  THE  NAVY 


Alumni  of  technical  schools  who  have  degrees  in 
either  electrical  or  radio  engineering  have  a  splendid 
opportunity  to  serve  the  Navy  in  an  uncrowded  field 
of  highly  specialized   activity. 

For  reasons  of  war  security  the  exact  nature  of  the 
work  cannot  be  divulged,  but  the  field  is  one  which 
promises  full  recognition  of  technical  ability  and  the 
opportunity  to  achieve  a  commissioned  rank  in  the  U.  S. 
Naval  Reserve  with  pay  up  to  $4,000  a  year. 

The  rapid  development  of  scientific  research — under 
the  impetus  of  war  and  the  determination  not  to  have 
"too  little"  or  be  "too  late" — has  opened  this  field  for 
men  under  40  who  can  meet  Navy  physical  require- 
ments and  who  have  the  necessary  educational  back- 
ground. 

Those  selected  for  the  special  work  will  be  given  six 
months  of  training,  three  months  at  Harvard  or  Bowdoin 
University  and  the  remaining  three  in  the  laboratories 
of  the  Massachusetts  Institute  of  Technology.  They  will 
then  be  assigned  to  staff  duty  with  the  Fleet  or  to 
specialized  positions  ashore. 


A  Navy  spokesman  in  discussing  the  program  said: 

"In  time  of  war,  under  pressure  of  war,  science  often 
makes  its  fastest  progress.  The  last  war  and  this  one 
have  brought  vast  advances  in  synthetics,  airplanes, 
automotive  transportation,  medicine  and  surgery,  to  list 
a  few. 

"The  same  is  true  of  radio  and  electrical  engineering. 
Some  of  the  most  successful  experimentation  in  those 
fields  has  been  done  through  Navy  channels  recently. 
It  has  blazed  the  way  to  developments  which  are  'the 
last  thing'   in  war  and,  prospectively,  in  peace. 

"Naturally,  details  cannot  be  disclosed,  but  there  is 
no  question  that  able  young  radio  and  electrical  engi-

BUCKNELL'S 

ONE  HUNDRETH 

BIRTHDAY 

GIFT 


Alumni,  trustees,  and  friends  of  Bucknell  are 

joining  in  a  united  effort  to  make  it  possible 

for   Bucknell  to    begin   her   second   century, 

February  5,  1946,  debt  free.

BUNNELL  COHTinUES  TO  LOOK  AHEAD 


C^^HAT  Bucknell  University  may  enter  its  second 
\S)  century  as  it  entered  its  first,  without  owing 
anyone  anything,  the  Board  of  Trustees  and  alumni 
leaders  have  initiated  a  special  project  designed  to 
establish  that  enviable  status.  It  is  their  hope  that 
the  One  Hundredth  Birthday  may  be  not  only  a  post- 
war birthday  but  a  post-debt  birthday  as  well,  and 
that  the  last  note  of  an  eighteen-year-old  encum- 
brance may  be  burned  on  February  5,  1946,  in  the 
one  hundredth  candle  of  the  Centennial  Birthday 
Cake. 

In  order  to  take  the  entire  alumni  body  into  their 
confidence  regarding  the  plans  for  this  project,  to  be 
known  as  The  One  Hundredth  Birthday  Gift,  we  are 
sending  you  this  special  issue  of  the  Monthly. 

The  objective  is  the  removal  of  the  last  portion 
of  Bucknell 's  capital  debt — $284,953.  New  college 
buildings  cannot  be  erected  in  present  years  but  the 
endowment  can  be  increased  and  debts  can  be  liqui- 
dated. These  war  years  present  the  challenge  to  wipe 
off  the  "depression-debt."  To  do  this  will  be  of  even 
more  value  than  to  increase  endowment,  and  will 
release  substantial  funds  now  slipping  away  in  in- 
terest payments.  In  the  competent  opinion  of  our 
trustees,  it  is  the  most  constructive  step  now  possible 
toward  setting  Bucknell's  financial  structure  in  order 
for  war  and  post-war  service. 

President  Marts'  unique  responsibilities  as  head  of 
the  Pennsylvania  Civilian  Defense  Program  make  it 
necessary  for  him  to  depend  more  largely  on  the 
alumni  leadership  at  large  in  the  achievement  of  this 
important  objective.     He   looks    to    us  to   carry  on 


and  to  assist  him  in  this  great  unified  effort.  This 
we  will  be  more  than  willing  and  glad  to  do. 
The  period  designated  for  the  organization  and 
completion  of  the  One  Hundredth  Birthday  Gift 
project  ends  roughly  with  July,  1943.  In  the  interest 
of  economy  and  efficiency  it  is  hoped  that  all  will 
play  the  game  to  that  end.  Pledges  are  being  made 
on  a  25-month  payment  basis,  so  that  all  pledges 
made  in  1943  will  mature  in  time  for  entire  payment 
of  the  fund  before  February  5,  1946. 

Alumni  Endorsement 

At  the  October  Homecoming  of  1942  the  Board 
of  Directors  of  the  General  Alumni  Association 
adopted  these  Resolutions: 

Whereas  the  One  Hundredth  Birthday  of  Buck- 
nell University  in  1946  is  approaching,  and 

Whereas  this  event  should  be  a  matter  of  great 
concern  to  all  friends  of  Bucknell  University,  and 

Whereas  the  celebration  must  be  measurably  con- 
ditioned by  circumstances  brought  about  by  the  pres- 
ent war,  and 

Whereas  the  Board  of  Trustees,  with  the  ap- 
proval of  President  Marts,  has  voted  in  favor  of  an 
all-out  effort  to  clear  up  the  present  indebtedness  of 
Bucknell  University,  in  the  sum  of  $284,953;    now, 

Be  It  Resolved  that  the  Board  of  Directors  of  the 
General  Alumni  Association  of  Bucknell  University 
endorse  the  action  of  the  Board  of  Trustees,  and 

Be  It  Resolved  Further  that  the  alumni  be  asked

WANT    to    tell    you    something    about    the 
preparations    we    are    making    here    on    the 
campus  to  celebrate  Bucknell's  100th  Birth- 
day, February  5,  1946. 

The  plans  for  Bucknell's  Centennial  Celebration 

started  seven  years  ago  when  we  celebrated  Bucknell's 

90th  Anniversary.    Many  of  you  will  remember  our  radio  broadcast  on  February  5,  1936,  when  Bucknell- 

ians  all  over  the  Nation  joined  in  listening  to  the  program,  and  the  engineering  department  made  the 

enormous  cake  with  90  candles  on  it. 

At  that  time  a  few  of  us  made  a  quiet  covenant  with  ourselves  that  we  would  do  everything  in  our 
power  to  enable  Bucknell  to  celebrate  its  100th  Anniversary  in  1946,  as  one  of  America's  greatest  small 
colleges;  that  we  would  build  so  well  on  the  foundation  laid  by  the  leaders  of  the  past  that  Bucknellians 
in  1946  could  shout  aloud  their  praises  of  Alma  Mater  on  her  100th  Birthday. 

Looking  toward  this  goal  for  the  100th  Anniversary,  we  have  made  some  progress;  many  campus 
improvements  have  been  made  already. 

Old  Main  was  rebuilt  at  a  cost  of  $314,000,  and  the  first  unit  of  the  Davis  Gymnasium  for  men  was 
built  at  a  cost  of  $200,000.  The  expenditures  for  old  Tustin  Gymnasium,  which  was  remodeled  for 
women,  were  $18,000.  The  service  building  was  erected  at  a  cost  of  $17,000,  and  the  two  wings  were 
added  to  the  engineering  building  at  a  cost  of  $300,000.  Other  miscellaneous  improvements  include  the 
building  of  the  Radio  Workshop  in  the  basement  of  Bucknell  Hall,  the  remodeling  of  the  Physics  lab- 
oratories, the  renovating  of  the  basement  of  the  Chemistry  Building,  and  the  creating  of  a  new  Psychology 
laboratory  in  the  basement  of  West  College. 

Every  dollar  which  this  Centennial  Building  program  cost  has  been  paid  by  money  given  by  trustees, 
alumni,  and  friends  of  Bucknell.  We  do  not  owe  a  cent  on  it.  It  had  been  our  hope  that  certain  other 
buildings  would  be  added  to  the  campus  prior  to  the  Centennial,  but  the  coming  of  the  war  has  made  it 
impossible  to  do  any  more  building  for  the  duration. 

The  buildings  we  hope  to  erect  after  present  conditions  have  changed  will  be  a  new  library,  an  audi- 
torium, a  science  building,  an  enlarged  music  building,  an  addition  to  the  Vaughan  Literature  Building,  the 
renovation  of  Bucknell  Hall  for  a  little  chapel  and  student  church,  a  social  science  building,  the  completion 
of  the  Davis  Gymnasium,  and  the  renovation  of  the  Carnegie  Library  for  use  as  a  student  activities  building. 

In  addition  to  the  physical  improvements  on  the  campus,  Bucknell  has  made  other  important  advances 
in  recent  years.  The  Carnegie  Pension  System  for  faculty  members  was  established  four  years  ago.  A  chap- 
ter of  Phi  Beta  Kappa  was  instituted  at  Bucknell  in  1940.  Bucknell's  enrollment  has  made  rapid  strides 
forward.  With  the  loyal  co-operation  of  alumni  and  friends  of  Bucknell  in  the  Student  Admissions  Pro- 
gram, we  have  been  operating  with  capacity  enrollments.  Even  this  year  when  enrollments  in  most  colleges 
are  below  the  normal,  Bucknell  opened  with  a  full  enrollment.  It  is  of  interest  to  note  that  a  recent  survey 
shows  that  during  the  last  ten  years  Bucknell  has  had  a  thirty-one  percent  increase  in  enrollment,  while 
the  average  for  the  whole  country  has  been  only  18  percent.  Because  of  the  large  number  of  applications 
for  admission,  it  has  been  possible  to  select  well  qualified  applicants.  Their  qualifications  are  best  illustrated 
by  the  fact  that  69  percent  of  the  students  entering  as  freshmen  graduate,  while  the  average  of  a  recent 
survey  of  colleges  generally  shows  that  only  29  percent  finish  their  college  course.

THE  HSIDfflT 


In  addition  to  the  student  enrollment  program,  all 
branches  of  engineering  have  been  fully  accredited; 
the  chemistry  course  has  been  accredited  also,  thus 
making  it  possible  for  students  to  become  professional 
chemists  after  two  years  in  the  industry  or  graduate 
school.  Other  important  changes  too  numerous  to 
mention  have  taken  place  at  Bucknell.  Step  by  step 
we   have    endeavored    to    take    Alma    Mater    toward    the    1946    goal    for    all    those    who    love    her. 

For  over  a  year — since  long  before  Pearl  Harbor — Bucknell  has  been  mobilizing  and  preparing  for 
wartime  strength.  Hundreds  of  Civilian  Defense  volunteers  have  been  enlisted  and  trained;  social  and 
extra-curricular  activities  have  been  reduced ;  the  accelerated  three-year  program  has  been  launched ;  physical 
education  has  been  made  compulsory  for  all  students ;  new  wartime  courses  have  been  introduced ;  nearby 
citizens  have  been  trained  for  war  industrial  jobs  by  our  engineering  faculty;  hundreds  of  men  students 
have  been  helped  to  enlist  in  the  military  or  naval  reserve  corps  which  have  been  created  for  college  stu- 
dents, and  we  are  giving  pre-flight  training  to  naval  fliers  sent  to  us  for  this  purpose.  Bucknell  has  been 
an  energetic  leader  among  American  colleges  in  dedicating  its  resources  to  the  service  of  America. 

These  changes  and  improvements  show  Bucknell's  ability  to  meet  situations  as  they  arise  and  to  be 
ready  for  the  future.  In  all  of  this  planning,  we  have,  from  the  beginning,  regarded  that  the  most  impor- 
tant means  of  strengthening  the  financial  status  of  Bucknell  is  the  paying  of  its  old  capital  debt.  We  have 
received  $170,000  in  the  last  four  years  from  the  trustees  towards  this  end.  That  is  a  goal  which  we  have 
pursued  and  can  pursue  in  these  times  when  new  buildings  are  impossible. 

We  have,  today,  a  residue  debt  which  amounts  to  approximately  $285,000.  It  has  burdened  us  for 
nearly  twenty  years,  chiefly  as  a  result  of  buildings,  such  as  the  Stadium,  Hunt  Hall,  and  the  Women's 
Dining  Room.  These  buildings  have  been  serving  Bucknell  well.  Had  not  the  famous  depression  of  recent 
memory  intervened,  they  would  have  been  paid  for.  We  have  paid  out  in  interest  alone  during  the  last 
fifteen  years  approximately  $249,000,  almost  as  much  as  the  total  present  indebtedness.  The  annual  interest 
is  even  yet  approximately  $15,000.  It  is  only  good  sound  business  policy  to  eliminate  this  indebtedness 
and  by  so  doing  we  will  strengthen  our  endowment  and  free  the  amount  we  are  spending  on  interest 
for  other  purposes. 

I  hope  that  you  will  do  all  within  your  power  to  help  make  Bucknell's  One  Hundredth  Birthday 
Celebration  a  memorable  occasion.  We  are  in  civilization's  greatest  war.  President  Roosevelt  has  called 
it  the  War  of  Survival.  We  are  fighting  literally  for  the  survival  of  freedom  and  justice  and  humanity. 

Bucknell  has  pledged  all  of  its  resources  to  our  beloved  Republic  in  its  fight  for  the  survival  for  free- 
dom and  democratic  civilization  throughout  the  world.  It  is  my  hope  that  when  our  centennial  is  celebrated 
in  1946,  it  may  be  said  of  Bucknell:  "That  campus  was  a  powerhouse,  a  dynamo  of  patriotic  service."  And 
it  is  my  hope  that  you  will  make  and  keep  Bucknell  more  and  more  powerful.

Mr.  Churchill  said,  "I  have  nothing  to  offer  but 
blood,  toil,  tears  and  sweat,  but  there  will  come  a 
better  day."  This  is  not  the  end  of  civilization  nor 
the  end  of  the  world,  but  behind  the  mists  of  the 
future  great  things  are  awaiting  mankind.  To  win 
them  the  world  must  be  free.  So  it  is  with  Bucknell, 
she  must  be  free,  free  of  debt,  and  when  the  mists 
lift  she  will  be  ready  to  march  forward.  We  must

President,    General   Alumni   Association 

yiS  I  write  this  message  to  you,  it  is  only  a  little 
^/j.  over  a  year  since  the  attack  on  Pearl  Harbor. 
One  year — it  seems  like  a  long  time  and  many  never- 
to-be-forgotten  events  have  happened  in  this  year. 
Now  multiply  that  elapse  of  time  by  one  hundred, 
and  you  will  realize  how  long  it  has  been  since  Old 
Bucknell  was  founded. 

We  are  planning  now  to  celebrate  the  One  Hun- 
dredth Birthday  in  1946  in  a  manner  most  fitting  to 
Alma  Mater.  I  think  that  the  outstanding  event  will 
be  the  birthday  gift  to  remove  the  debt  which  now 
burdens  the  University. 

Everyone  will  be  asked  to  help  and  many  will  be 
called  upon  to  devote  some  of  their  time  to  the 
effort.  Whatever  may  be  your  job,  let  us  all  enter 
into  it  with  that  "Old  Spirit"  so  that  the  future, 
more  than  ever,  will  exemplify  "The  Bucknell  Way 
of  Life."  Every  Bucknellian  and  friend  of  Bucknell 
will  want  to  have  a  share  in  this  gift  and  then  we 
can  all  raise  our  heads  with  pride  and  say,  "I  helped." 

It  is  said  that  the  willingness  to  sacrifice  brings  out 
the  spirit  of  men.  We  are  all  going  to  sacrifice.  Let 
every  Bucknellian  make  his  sacrifices  with  the  will- 
ingness that  will  build  optimism  in  his  heart.  With 
this  thought  before  us,  Bucknell  will  enter  her  sec- 
ond century  unafraid  of  the  future  and  determined 
to  make  it  even  more  glorious  than  the  past. 

Right  now  with  the  whole  world  in  chaos  the 
future  does  look   like  a  huge  question   mark,   and

to  pledge  100  percent  co-operation,  individually  and 
collectively,  in  work  and  in  giving,  to  achieve  the 
realization  of  this  objective  as  one  of  the  most  appro- 
priate gifts  to  Alma  Mater  on  the  occasion  of  her 
One  Hundredth  Birthday. 

Progress 

In  answer  to  this  significant  endorsement,  top- 
flight organization  leaders  have  responded  sponta- 
neously to  the  challenge  of  the  Trustees'  Committee. 
The  latter  consists  of  Roy  G.  Bostwick,  '05,  Alfred  C. 
Howell,  and  Christian  R.  Lindback.  Mr.  Bostwick  is 
also  general  chairman  of  the  campaign.  Edgar  A. 
Snyder,  '11,  and  Dr.  Mary  B.  Harris,  '94,  are  the 
national  alumni  co-chairmen.  Other  personnel  are 
listed  on  the  last  page. 

Generous  gifts  likewise  have  already  been  forth- 
coming, with  a  total  of  585,200  subscribed  to  date. 
President  Arnaud  C.  Marts  is  giving  all  the  time 
that  he  possibly  can  to  this  feature. 

Proposed  Organization 

Committees  are  rapidly  rounding  into  shape  to 
take  charge  of  geographical  areas,  districts,  and  zones 
under  their  respective  chairmen  and  team  captains. 
Most  of  the  chairmen  are  planning  Bucknell  dinners 
in  their  respective  centers,  to  which  all  Bucknellians 
who  are  grouped  in  the  corresponding  Bucknell  Club 
will  be  invited.  President  Marts  will  be  a  guest  of 
honor  at  these  dinners,  either  in  person  or  in  a  talk- 
ing picture.  There  will,  of  course,  be  no  solicitation 
of  gifts  at  these  functions.  Professor  Melvin  W. 
LeMon  has  collaborated  with  Mrs.  Lewis  E.  Theiss 
in  the  production  of  a  rollicking  theme  song  to  be 
sung  at  these  events. 

The  Pittsburgh  area  will  be  the  first  to  start,  in 
January,  with  the  New  York  and  New  England  areas 
set  for  February  and  March,  the  Philadelphia  and 
District  of  Columbia  areas  in  March  and  April,  with 
other  sections  coming  along  in  stride.

(T^L  UCKNELL  alumni  frequently  ask  what  effect 
JLD  the  war  and  its  problems  have  on  the  financing 
of  the  University,  and  it  may  be  in  order  to  review 
briefly  a  few  of  the  conditions  which  Bucknell  must 
face  during  these  war  days. 

First,  we  have  the  rationing  of  certain  foodstuffs 
and  materials  with  the  increasing  difficulties  in  ob- 
taining supplies  for  the  dining  halls  and  laboratories. 
Costs  have  increased  in  keeping  with  the  general 
price  level  throughout  the  country.  Thus  the  prob- 
lem of  budget  management  becomes  intensified. 

The  uncertainty  as  to  just  what  the  government's 
policy  will  be  in  reference  to  colleges  the  size  of 
Bucknell  is  causing  the  entire  staff  a  great  deal  of 
anxiety,  and  plans  are  being  made  from  day  to  day 
with  the  expectation  that  the  college  will  operate 
throughout  the  second  semester  of  this  year  in  a 
somewhat  nearly  normal  manner,  depending,  of 
course,  on  the  number  of  men  students  who  will 
withdraw  for  the  armed  service  and  the  number  of 
students  who  will  graduate  in  February.  This  fall 
Bucknell  was  one  of  a  few  colleges  to  open  with  a 
capacity  enrollment. 

While  we  are  accustomed  to  regard  Bucknell  as  a 
small  college,  yet,  from  the  standpoint  of  the  total

income  for  current  purposes,  the  college  has  moved 
into  the  realm  of  rather  substantial  figures.  Last  year 
the  current  income  totaled  51,002,239,  and  after  pay- 
ing all  current  operating  expenses,  and  setting  aside 
certain  proper  and  normal  reserves,  there  was  carried 
to  the  surplus  account  the  sum  of  $1,001.64 — not  a 
large  item  in  itself,  but  very  tangible  evidence  of 
operating  within  the  University  s  income. 

Bucknellians  generally  know  that  the  University  is 
financed  by  tuition  payments  by  students,  income 
from  endowment  investments,  and  gifts  from  its 
friends  and  patrons.  Bucknell  is  a  privately  endowed 
educational  institution  and  does  not  receive  any  pub- 
lic support,  i.  e..  from  the  state  or  federal  govern- 
ments, but,  as  stated  above,  is  dependent  upon  its 
student  body  and  its  friends  for  its  financial  resources. 

While  it  is  true  that  Bucknell  is  a  tax-exempt  in- 
stitution and  as  such  has  no  direct  tax  problems,  yet 
there  have  been  appearing  on  the  horizon  mam- 
things  in  connection  with  the  federal  government's 
taxing  policy  that  may  directly  or  indirectly  affect  the 
University.  For  months  there  raged  an  earnest  dis- 
cussion concerning  allowances  to  be  made  in  income 
tax  returns  for  gifts  to  educational  and  charitable 
institutions.  More  recently,  there  has  arisen  the  dis- 
cussion occasioned  by  a  directive  issued  by  Director 
of  Economic  Stabilization,  James  F.  Byrnes,  on  the 
general  subject  of  salaries  and  wages  and  the  pro- 
posed so-called  $25,000  salary  limitation.

National  Alumni  Chairman 

(f>°HE  campaign  to  give  Bucknell  a  worth-while 
C9  One  Hundredth  Birthday  Gift  is  one  of  the 
most  important  undertakings  by  the  alumni,  trustees, 
and  friends  of  Bucknell.  American  colleges  and  uni- 
versities are  now  passing  through  the  most  critical 
period  of  their  existence.  Probably  only  those  not 
burdened  by  large  debts  and  the  accompanying  "leech 
interest,"  or  those  fortunate  enough  to  be  heavily 
endowed  will  survive  the  reduction  in  operating  rev- 
enue caused  by  the  necessary  enlistment  of  our  young 
men  of  college  age  in  the  armed  forces  of  our  be- 
loved Country.  Bucknell  is  not  heavily  endowed  in 
a  monetary  way,  but  she  is  richly  endowed  with  over 
10,000  loyal  sons  and  daughters.  When  misfortune 
threatens  the  security  of  any  mother  in  her  maturing 
years,  her  loyal  sons  and  daughters  hasten  to  help 


Marts  &  Lundy,  Inc.,  have  released  Mr. 
J.  Douglass  Foster  to  direct  the  program  for 
Bucknell's  One  Hundredth  Birthday  Gift. 
We  are  fortunate  in  having  the  services  of 
one  of  the  most  experienced  and  successful 
representatives  of  this  outstanding  fund- 
raising  organization. 


her.  Mother  Bucknell  is  today  calling  to  her  loyal 
sons  and  daughters  to  give  her  additional  strength 
by  eliminating  her  debt  of  $285,000.  She  wants  to 
be  sure  that  during  the  uncertain  years  ahead  she 
is  strong  enough  to  meet  any  possible  changes  in 
her  present  plans.  Even  the  amount  paid  out  in 
interest  on  the  debt  is  worrying  her  a  great  deal  be- 
cause it  is  needed   for  other  and  bigger  purposes. 

As  in  the  case  of  other  mothers'  debts,  this  one  is 
not  actually  her  debt.  It  is  really  our  debt — an  alumni 
debt — because  Mother  Bucknell  contracted  it  during 
the  years  in  order  that  she  might  give  us  a  proper 
education.  When  we  were  younger  and  struggling  to 
make  ends  meet,  she  willingly  contracted  this  debt  so 
that  she  could  "put  us  through  college."  At  the 
most,  she  demanded  from  us  only  a  few  hundred 
dollars  a  semester.  Our  actual  payments  to  her  for 
the  facilities  of  the  University  and  the  guidance,  help, 
and  instruction  of  her  faculty  was  probably  not  much 
more  than  SI 500  for  four  years  of  college  educa- 
tion— at  the  most  approximately  $400  a  year.  Of 
course  Bucknell  could  not  give  us  all  she  did  for 
$400  and,  therefore,  she  had  to  contract  debts. 

And  now  that  the  Triumvirate  of  Destruction — 
Hitler,  Mussolini,  and  Hirohito — have  challenged 
our  America,  our  institutions,  our  colleges  and  uni- 
versities, saying,  "We  will  destroy  you  and  run  this 
world  as  we  see  fit,"  Mother  Bucknell  is  calling  to 
her  sons  and  daughters  saying,  "Did  you  children 
hear  what  they  said?  Help  me  pay  off  these  old 
debts  and  unfetter  my  limbs  so  I  can  charge  down  on 
those  shamming  hypocrites,  and  all  others  like  them, 
and  make  them  eat  their  words."  Bucknell  is  cer- 
tainly not  asking  us  for  more  than  we  can  and  should 
do.  We  must  hans  our  heads  in  shame  if  we  fail  her 
now.  Let's  be  honest  with  ourselves — really  honest. 
Let  us  figure  out,  if  we  can,  just  how  many  times 
since  leaving  Bucknell  we  have  earned  an  extra  $100 
that  we  could  not  and  would  not  have  earned  except 
for  what  Bucknell  did  for  us  to  increase  our  earning 
capacity.  Let  us  tell  ourselves  the  answer  to  that 
question  and  then  decide  to  donate  to  Bucknell,  who 
made  it  possible,  at  least  one  of  these  many  extra 
$100  we  earned. 

We  are  very  proud  of  Bucknell.  She  has  an  envi- 
able history,  a  record  of  great  accomplishments,  an 
outstanding  faculty,  a  Board  of  Trustees  second  to 
none  in  college  circles,  and  the  best  and  finest  college 
president  in  the  Country.  Now  let  us  turn  the  tables. 
Let  us  make  Bucknell  proud  of  her  alumni  and  give 
the  grand  old  lady  something  about  which  to  cheer 
on  her  One  Hundredth  Birthday.  Let's  wipe  out  that 
debt.  It  can  be  done  if  every  alumni  chairman, 
worker,  solicitor,  and  contributor  does  what  he  or 
she  really  can  do.   Let 's  go!

Salary  Limit   Law   Far-Reaching 

Now  on  the  surface,  it  might  seem  to  most  of  us 
Bucknellians  that  a  525,000  salary  limitation  would 
not  affect  us  personally  or  the  University,  but  a  little 
reflection  is  in  order  as  it  concerns  the  University. 
Bucknell  alumni  have  been  very  generous  in  piling 
up  throughout  the  years  a  considerable  number  of 
small  and  medium  sized  gifts  totaling  impressive 
figures.  Each  year,  in  addition,  there  have  come  to 
the  University  large  gifts  made  by  alumni  and  friends 
that  have  been  possible  because  the  donors  received 
large  incomes  and  could  donate  substantial  amounts 
to  this  institution  out  of  income  and  receive  proper 
allowances  on  income  tax  returns.

Sweeping  regulations  issued  October  27,  1942,  by 
Economic  Czar  Byrnes  fixed  basic  rules  for  freezing 
of  wages  and  salaries,  and  the  background  against 
which  War  Labor  Board  and  Commissioner  will  ad- 
minister wage  and  salary  control. 

Salaries  are  defined  as  remuneration  paid  on  a 
weekly,  monthly,  annual  or  comparable  basis.  Sal- 
aries include  bonuses,  gifts,  loans,  commissions,  fees; 
exclude  insurance  and  pension  benefits  in  a  reason- 
able amount. 

No  salary  may  be  paid  which,  after  reduction  by 
federal  (but  not  state)  income  taxes  will  exceed 
$25,000.  Special  consideration  is  given,  where  undue 
hardship  is  shown,  to  permit  continued  payments  of 
gifts  to  charitable  institutions,  and  payment  on  life 
insurance  premiums,  debts,  and  federal  income  taxes 
for  prior  taxable  years.  Where  employee  is  employed 
by  more  than  one  company,  total  salary  is  deter- 
mining factor. 

It  is  generally  admitted  that  under  this  new  direc- 
tive it  will  be  difficult  for  these  men,  however 
well  intentioned  they  may  be,  to  continue  their  large 
gifts  except  by  special  application  as  indicated  in  the 
previous  paragraph.  Indeed,  this  subject  has  been 
treated  as  a  matter  of  considerable  importance  by 
the  tax  service  organizations  and  financial  writers. 
Recently  the  Wall  Street  Journal  ran  a  series  of 
articles  giving  a  survey  by  one  of  its  staff  correspond- 
ents and  pointing  out  the  implications  of  the  direc- 
tive as  they  would  affect  educational  and  other 
privately  supported  institutions. 

Many  of  the  larger  colleges  have  been  calling  the 
attention  of  their  alumni  to  the  probable  loss  of  gifts 

[1 


to  their  colleges  as  a  result  of  the  new  policy  an- 
nounced by  the  government.  Provost  H.  W.  Peters, 
of  Cornell,  made  it  the  subject  of  a  special  article 
in  a  recent  issue  of  the  Cornell  Alumni  News,  and 
we  now  likewise  bring  it  to  the  attention  of  Buck- 
nellians. 

Act  May  Throttle  Gifts  to  Bucknell 

The  social  and  political  implications  of  the  $25,000 
salary  limitation  program  are  many  and  important. 
An  adequate  discussion  of  them  would  fill  many 
pages,  but  right  now  we  are  not  concerned  with  them. 
We  are  interested  primarily  in  the  possibilities  of 
large  and  small  gifts  to  Bucknell  University.  Any 
act  that  throttles  such  gifts  would  hamper  our  be- 
loved institution  in  many  ways.  Perhaps  we  are 
institutionally  selfish,  but  we  do  want  our  large 
donors  left  in  position  to  continue  their  benefactions 
to  Bucknell.  We  are  willing  to  let  the  income  tax 
return  with  its  provisions  for  the  higher  brackets, 
where  as  high  as  88%  of  the  income  is  returned  to 
the  government  in  taxes,  when  proper  allowances  are 
made  for  gifts,  take  care  of  the  economics  involved. 
That  is  a  taxation  based  on  the  well-known  principle 
of  "ability  to  pay"  and  not  limitation  of  salary  and 
the  practical  freezing  of  large  gifts. 

Need  To  Be  On  Alert 

Undoubtedly,  this  whole  subject  will  be  reviewed 
by  Congress  at  its  coming  session,  for  it  is  not  be- 
lieved that  our  congressmen  will  allow  a  directive  of 
this  nature  to  stand  on  the  books  without  a  real 
effort  to  adjust  it  in  line  with  our  democratic  prin- 
ciples. 

It  is  well  for  us  to  consider  how  this  action  will 
affect  not  only  our  Alma  Mater,  but  the  local  Church, 
the  Community  Chest,  the  Red  Cross,  the  U.S.O.  and 
other  philanthropic  organizations  in  communities  all 
over  this  broad  land,  and  to  make  some  distinction 
in  our  mind  between  the  government's  financing 
problems  and  policies  which  do  not  add  to  the  gov- 
ernment's revenue  but  are  only  regulatory. 


The  new  four-reel  sound  motion  picture 
in  color,  Bucknell  Marches  On,  has  just  been 
produced  and  will  be  shown  at  the  Centen- 
nial Gift  Meetings.  Bucknell  Marches  On 
shows  a  complete  cross  section  of  college  life 
in  wartime  and  how  one  of  America's  small 
coeducational  colleges  has  gone  all-out  for 
victory.

Clarke  Hinkle 


CLARKE  HIOKLf,  '32 

K/isiis  Csampus  as  a  x.ieutenant 
m  the   i(.  £>.  Goad  Quale) 

/<)LARKE  HINKLE,  '32,  former  Bucknell  foot- 
V_^  ball  star  well-known  to  football  fans  all  over 
the  United  States,  returned  to  the  campus  of  his  Alma 
Mater  last  month  as  a  Lieutenant  (junior  grade)  in 
the  United  States  Coast  Guard  Academy. 

After  ten  years  of  thrilling  and  unusual  experi- 
ences in  the  professional  football  world,  Hinkle  is 
now  serving  his  Country  by  seeking  recruits  for  the 
United  States  Coast  Guard  Academy.  He  is  visiting 
various  schools  and  colleges  along  the  eastern  sea- 
coast  and  wherever  he  goes — north,  south,  east  or 
west — men,  women,  and  up-and-coming  football 
players  will  remember  him  and  will  recall  reading 
such  headlines  as:  "Hinkle  Highest  Packer  Scorer," 
"Clarke  Hinkle  Named  on  Second  All-Star  Team," 
and  "Hinkle  Boots  Long  Goal  as  Packers  Win." 

Hinkle's  physical  prowess  is  shown  by  the  fact 
that  he  played  nineteen  years  of  football  without 
receiving  an  injury.  Because  of  his  outstanding  rec- 
ord, Clarke  Hinkle  has  been  acclaimed  by  both  critics 
and  sports  fans  as  one  of  the  greatest  of  professional 
football  players. 


Bucknell  Continues  to  Look  Ahead 

(Continued  from  page  6.) 

The  "Share" — $4.00  Per  Month 

The  sum  of  $284,953  can  be  raised  from  the 
equivalent  of  2,849  Bucknellians  giving  $100  each. 
Obviously  some  can  afford  more  and  some  less,  but 
the  Hundredth  Birthday  Committee  asks  everyone  to 
think  of  his  or  her  gift  in  terms  of  one  or  more 
Shares  of  $100  ($4.00  per  month  for  25  months). 
The  fact  that  this  sum  may  be  paid  over  so  long  a 
period  makes  it  possible  for  many  alumni  in  very 
modest  circumstances  to  buy  a  Share  in  the  Hun- 
dredth Birthday  Fund. 

Givers'  Names  on  One  Hundredth  Birthday 
Roster 

The  Centennial  History  of  Bucknell  is  now  being 
written  by  Dr.  Theiss  to  be  ready  for  the  1946  cele- 
bration. It  will  contain  a  One  Hundredth  Birthday 
Roster,  listing  the  names  of  all  donors  of  one  or 
more  of  the  one  hundred  dollar  Shares,  thus  honor- 
ing these  names  in  perpetuity. 

In  the  case  of  a  husband  and  wife  or  other  two 
persons  related  and  having  the  same  surname,  two 
names  may  be  imprinted  in  the  Roster  for  credit  for 
the  same  Share. 

Effects  of  the  War 

There  will  be  a  few,  with  pessimistically  inclined 
minds,  who  will  honestly  question  the  coming  status 
of  colleges,  and  even  of  Bucknell  University,  as  the 
exigencies  of  war  interfere  with  the  modes  of  living 
to  which  we  are  accustomed.  The  well  considered 
answer  to  these  people  is  that  Bucknell  is  certain  to 
continue  to  have  an  essential  responsibility  in  help- 
ing to  win  the  war  and,  most  certainly,  to  win  the 
peace. 

Bucknell  is  one  of  a  very  small  minority  of  col- 
leges which  this  fall  had  a  capacity  enrollment.  For 
years  we  have  had  a  great  over-abundance  of  appli- 
cations. True,  there  will  be  some  falling-off  in  num- 
bers, but  there  is  not  the  slightest  doubt  that  a 
mandate  for  service  will  continue  with  many  groups 
such  as  the  women  students,  younger  boys,  men  who 
are  ineligible  for  selective  service  requirements,  engi- 
neering and  pre-medical  students,  and,  finally,  with 
teen  age  service  men  who  will  be  sent  to  selected 
colleges  for  special  training. 

In  fact,  the  war  makes  more  important  any  project 
which  bolsters  this  University's  financial  ability  and 
capacity  for  continued  service.  In  the  clarity  of 
Bucknell's  sustained  vision,  we  can  see  nothing  but 
increased   opportunity   for  turning   out   enlightened 


(Continued  on  next  page.)

and  trained  leaders,  both  women  and  men,  for  the 
post-war,  world-reconstruction  years. 

Progress  in  other  current  fund-raising  efforts  indi- 
cates that  the  war  helps  as  much  as  it  hinders.  The 
emphasis  in  our  campaign  will  be  on  giving  war 
bonds  to  the  college. 

War  Bond  Gifts 

The  University  will  be  glad  to  accept  war  bonds 
(or  stamps)  as  payment  in  full  or  in  part  on  sub- 
scriptions. If  bonds  are  given  to  the  University  for 
such  purpose,  the  following  three  provisions  must 
be  observed: 

1.  The  bonds  must  be  in  Series  "F." 

2.  They  must  be  purchased  in  the  name  of  "Buck- 
nell  University,  a  corporation"  and  not  in  your 
own  name. 

3.  For  a  $25.00  bond  your  subscription  will  be 

credited  $19.00. 

For  a  $100.00  bond  your  subscription  will  be 
credited  $76.00. 

For  a  $1,000.00  bond  your  subscription  will  be 
credited  $760.00. 

These  are  the  amounts  (redemption  values)  which 
the  bonds  will  be  worth  to  the  University  three  years 
from  issue  date. 

Your  Share  in  This  Program 

To  you,  Bucknellians  and  friends,  Bucknell  now 
appeals  for  your  co-operation.  We  ask  you  to  accept 
your  assignment  in  the  work  that  is  to  be  done. 

The  campaign  is  well  planned,  well  led,  well  or- 
ganized. The  duties  of  each  committee  worker  will 
be  well  defined,  highly  important,  and  not  unduly 
burdensome. 

We  ask  you  to  come  in  with  conviction  and  enthu- 
siasm. 

Education  is  Bie  Business  and  Bie  Business  re- 
quires  large  resources.  We  will  look  to  you  to  accept 
this  challenge  in  a  big  way.  Many  alumni  can  give 
more  largely  now  than  for  many  years  past.  Every- 
one has  some  means  to  give  to  worthy  enterprises. 
All  you  have  to  do  is  to  realize  that  Bucknell  is  this 
year  the  MOST  worthy  of  all. 

Remember  that  every  share  of  $100  in  Bucknell 
is  an  investment  in  nobler  manhood  and  womanhood, 
truer  citizenship,  more  honest  character,  and  leader- 
ship trained  in  the  Bucknell  Way  of  Life.

Costs  Less  to  Give  Than  in   1941 

One  effect  of  income  tax  rates  in  the  1942  Revenue 
Act  was  that  the  Government  absorbed  a  larger  por- 
tion of  the  cost  of  contribution  so  that  the  net  cost 
to  the  giver  was  less  than  that  for  a  gift  of  the  same 
size  in  1941.  The  present  date  is  a  little  too  late  to 
point  this  out  except  in  the  expectation  that  the  same 
favorable  condition  may  apply  in  regard  to  gifts  made 
in  1943.  If  this  remains  true,  a  person  can  make 
larger  contributions  for  the  same  net  cost  to  himself. 

The    following    table,    prepared    by    Community 
Chests  and  Councils,  Inc.,  illustrates  the  point:

HURRAH  FOR  HELPING  BUCKNELL! 

Tune:  "Solomon  Lent" 
l. 
Come  all,  let's,  get  together  and  buy  a  Bucknell  Bond; 
We'll  stake  our  bets  on  Bucknell  of  whom  we  are  so  fond. 
As  once,  a  hundred  years  ago,  her  founders  raised  the  cash,. 
We'll  buy  a  share  in  Bucknell,  her  debt  we  then  will  smash. 

Chorus 
Hurrah!  for  helping  Bucknell.    Hurrah!  for  all  of  us. 
Hurrah!  for  giving  freely,  because  the  cause  is  just. 
Let's  buy  Bucknell  clear  out  of  debt,  a  hundred  at  a  throw; 
Let's  burn  the  notes  in  'forty-six,  our  gratitude  to  show. 

2. 
To  part  with  money  freely  we're  learning  every  day; 
The  Government  is  clever  at  taking  cash  away. 
There're  bonds  and  stamps  and  taxes,  and  everything  costs 

more, 
Why  not  give  bonds  to  Bucknell,  the  College  we  adore? 

3. 
Of  all  the  colleges  in  the  land  there's  none  more  fair  to  see 
Than  our  dear  College  on  the  hill  so  dear  to  memory. 
Let's  back  our  President,  face  the  debt,  the  money  we  will 

pay, 
It's  time  for  true  alumni  to  rise,  and  have  their  say.

LEWISBURG.  PENNA. 


April,   1943 


Dr.  Hu  Shih  to  Speak 
at  Commencement 


Dr.  Hu  Shih,  Chinese  ambassador 
to  the  United  States  from  1938  to  1942, 
will  give  the  Commencement  address 
at  Bucknell's  ninety-seventh  gradua- 
tion on  May  28. 

He  received  his  early  education  in 
China,  and  later  came  to  America  to 
study  at  Cornell.  After  his  gradua- 
tion in  1914,  he  studied  for  his  doc- 
tor's degree  at  Columbia  University. 
On  his  return  to  China,  Dr.  Hu 
Shih  became  associated  with  the  fac- 
ulty of  the  Peking  National  Univer- 
sity, and  has  been  doing  outstanding 
work  in  the  field  of  education  ever 
since. 

Before  December  7,  1941,  Dr.  Hu 
Shih  attempted  in  vain  to  warn  the 
United  States  of  the  approaching 
Japanese  attack,  and  has  always 
fought  against  any  type  of  appease- 
ment in  relation  to  Japan.  He  is  con- 
vinced that  Japan  is  unable  to  main- 
tain a  long  war,  and  that  after  the 
war  is  over  it  will  be  necessary  to 
form  some  type  of  international  gov- 
ernment to  insure  permanent  peace. 

It  has  been  rumored  in  Washing- 
ton, D.  C,  that  Gen.  Chiang  Kai-Shek 
will  .ssign  Dr.  Hu  Shih  to  an  import- 
ant post  upon  his  return  to  China. 


F.  G.  Davis,  '11, 

Takes  Lybarger  Post 


Frank  G.  Davis,  11,  has  assumed 
for  the  duration  the  functions  which 
have  been  performed  by  L.  Francis 
Lybarger,  Jr.,  '28,  for  the  past  several 
years.  Lybarger  was  Alumni  Secre- 
tary, Editor  of  the  Alumni  Monthly, 
and  Director  of  Admissions. 

Davis  has  been  Head  of  the  De- 
partment of  Education  since  1924,  and 
Director  of  the  Summer  School  and 
Extension  Program  for  the  past  eight 
years.  Dr.  Walter  H.  Sauvain  has  suc- 
ceeded to  the  latter  post  for  the  dur- 
ation and  Dr.  Davis  retains  his  po- 
sition as  Head  of  the  Department  of 
Education. 

The  new  Alumni  Secretary  invites 
suggestions  from  any  and  all  alumni 
on  how  the  work  may  be  kept  up  to 
the  high  standard  set  by  Mr.  Lybarg- 
er and  what  improvements  should  be 
made.  .The  office  functions  solely  for 
service  to  the  alumni  and  to  the  Uni- 
versity. 

It  is  hoped  that  during  the  wartime 
emergency,  local  Alumni  Clubs  will  be 
kept  alive  and  bring  together  as  fre- 
quently as  feasible  members  who  find 
it  convenient  to  attend. 

Heartiest  greetings  to  all  alumni  are 
extended  by  the  "duration"  secretary.

Who's  Who  In  America 

Recognizes  Bucknellians 


Roy  G.  Bostwick,  '05,  Pittsburgh, 
chairman  of  the  Bucknell  Board  of 
Trustees,  and  one  other  benefactor  of 
the  university  who  insists  on  remain- 
ing anonymous,  have  been  awarded 
"Who's  Who  in  America"  citations  for 
outstanding  service  and  philanthropy 
on  behalf  of  Bucknell,  it  was  an- 
nounced by  President  A.  C.  Marts, 
March  9th  at  the  One  Hundredth 
Birthday  Gift  alumni  dinner  in  New 
York. 


100th  Birthday  Gifts 
Rolling  in  for  Bucknell 


Hundreds  of  Bucknellian  subscrip- 
tions to  the  One  Hundredth  Birthday 
Gift  fund  had  swelled  the  total  paid 
and  pledged  to  $157,400  on  April  30, 
or  over  half  of  the  $285,000  needed  to 
erase  the  University's  capital  debt  be- 
fore 1946.  Of  the  total,  approximately 
$91,000  had  come  through  the  trustee 
special  gift  committee,  $20,500  from 
the  Pittsburgh  area;  $24,000  from  the 
New  York  area;  $18,600  from  the  Phil- 
adelphia area,  and  $3,300  from  the 
Washington-Baltimore  area.  A  num- 
ber of  subscriptions  of  one  or  more 
shares  have  been  sent  in  to  Treasurer 
Dayton  L.  Ranck,  '16,  from  scattered 
points  outside  of  the  organized  areas. 

The  number  of  Hundredth  Birth- 
day Gift  Roster  names  eligible  for  list-

President  Marts 

Greets  the  Alumni 


No  college  president  is  more  genu- 
inely concerned  for  the  welfare  of  the 
alumni,  and  none  is  more  highly 
esteemed  by  his  college  family  than 
is  President  Marts.  At  this  time 
when  he  is  giving  his  talents  so  com- 
pletely to  his  country,  we  are  not 
asking  him  to  write  his  usual  letter. 

He  has,  however,  authorized  the 
editor  to  extend  his  warmest  greet- 
ings to  you  and  to  assure  you  that  he 
will  be  thinking  at  Commencement 
time  of  the  hundreds  who  would  come 
back  to  Alma  Mater  as  usual  but  for 
the  crisis  through  which  our  country 
is  passing.  He  realizes  that  every 
alumnus  must  be  at  his  "battle  sta- 
tion", as  is  the  University,  which  has 
been  adjusted  completely  to  the  ser- 
vice of  the  Nation  in  wartime. 

He  appreciates  deeply  the  valiant 
service  being  rendered  by  Bucknell 
alumni  in  all  phases  of  the  war  ef- 
fort, and  recommends  for  all  "The 
Bucknell  Way  of  Life",  that  of  In- 
telligence, Integrity,  and  Brotherhood. 
Incidentally,  we  suspect  that  the 
world's  troubles  will  not  be  solved  un- 
til society  as  a  whole  adopts  "The 
Bucknell  Way  of  Life".

A  committee  of  Bucknellians  of

club  president,  Rev.  J.  H.  Flecken- 
stine,  '12,  is  making  active  prepara- 
tions for  participating  in  the  Birth- 
day program. 

District  and  area  quotas  assigned  by 
the  campaign  executive  committee 
have  been  announced  by  National 
Alumni  Chairman  Edgar  A.  Snyder, 
'11,  as  follows:  Pittsburgh,  $15,155; 
Uniontown,  $1,400;  Altoona,  $2,450; 
Johnstown,  $1,540;  total  area  quota, 
$20,545.  Connecticut,  $1,750;  New 
York  Metropolitan,  $29,050;  total  area 
quota,    $30,800. 

Philadelphia  Metropolitan,  $18,200; 
South  Jersey,  $8,750;  Trenton,  $3,675; 
Wilmington,  $1,925;  total  area  quota, 
$32,550. 

Allentown,  $2,800;  Harrisburg,  $6,- 
125;  Mt.  Carmel,  $2,730;  Reading,  $2,- 
870;  York,  $1,890;  total  area  quota, 
$16,415. 


Hazleton,  $2,450;  Scranton,  $6,300; 
Wilkes-Barre,  $11,550;  Williamsport, 
$9,450;  total  area  quota,  $29,750. 

Baltimore,  $1,750;  Washington,  $4,- 
200;  total  area  quota,  $5,950. 

Danville,  $1,575;  Lewisburg,  $20,000; 
Milton,  $5,425;  Sunbury,  $5,950;  total 
area  Quota,  $32,950. 

Mr.  Snyder  explained  that  these 
quotas  are  designed  to  raise  one-half 
of  the  $285,000  goal,  the  other  half 
being  expected  from  the  trustees' 
special  gift  committee.  The  quotas 
were  figured  by  using  a  common  fac- 
tor throughout  all  the  districts,  he 
said,  with  due  allowance  for  alumni 
living  at  considerable  distances  from 
the  district  enters.  The  Lewisburg 
quota  is  figured  with  regard  to  both 
alumni  and  other  citizens  as  prospec- 
tive givers. 

Although  many  districts  contain 
numerous  communities,  each  district 
was  named  after  the  town  holding  the 
largest  number  of  Bucknellians. 


The  Accelerated 
Program  Starts  July  5 

During  this  war,  as  in  every  other 
period  of  national  emergency,  all  of 
Bucknell's  facilities  have  been  placed 
at  the  disposal  of  our  government. 

Starting  July  5,  1943,  Bucknell  will 
operate  throughout  the  entire  year 
with  the  result  that  our  school  year 
will  consist  of  three  sixteen-week 
terms  instead  of  the  former  two  se- 
mesters. The  three  terms  for  the 
current  school  year  will  begin  July 
6,   November  1,  and  March  6. 

For  men  this  accelerated  program 
is  practically  compulsory  on  account 
of  the  government's  program  of  selec- 
tive service.  Furthermore,  most  col- 
lege men  are  anxious  to  speed  up 
their  programs  in  order  that  they 
may  sooner  contribute  to  the  Nation's 
"ail-out"  effort. 

For  the  college  woman,  however, 
the  accelerated  program  is  a  volun- 
tary matter.  While  acceleration  is 
recommended,  on  the  other  hand  she 
may  elect  to  attend  school  two  terms 
a  year  and  finish  in  four  years  instead 
of  in  the  shorter  period.

BUCKNELL 


<i 


Dear  Bucknellians: 

As  I  write  this,  the  administrative  officers  at  Bucknell 
are  working  at  top  speed  to  have  everything  in  readi- 
ness for  the  opening  of  the  July  1st  term,  or  seme- 
ter,  which  will  be  attended  by  600  Naval  trainees — 
young  men  in  training  for  service  in  the  Navy,  Ma- 
rines, and  Coast  Guard — which  will  be  attended 
also  by  500  young  men  and  women  in  civilian  status. 
All  the  men's  dormitories  have  been  refurnished 
with  double  decker  cots  for  the  Naval  trainees  and 
four  fraternity  houses  have  been  leased  by  the  col- 
lege as  emergency  dormitories  for  civilian  men  stu- 
dents. The  Women's  College  remains  unchanged 
and  will  continue  to  be  used  by  our  women  students, 
as  always.  A  Navy  Mess  Hall  has  been  built  on 
University  Avenue  at  the  corner  of  Malcolm  Place. 

Essentially,  Bucknell  will  go  on  as  before,  except 
that  600  of  her  students  will  be  in  Naval  uniform 
and  will  be  subject  to  military  discipline,  admin- 
istered by  a  "Ship's  Company"  composed  of  a  Com- 
manding Officer,  7  officers,  and  22  enlisted  men. 
Naval  trainees  and  civilian  students  will  attend 
classes  together,  all  studying  bona  fide  college  sub- 
jects. 

It  is  symbolic,  is  it  not,  of  your  Alma  Mater's  long 
reach  into  the  past  and  into  the  future  and  her  re- 
sponsiveness to  the  requirements  of  the  present. 
There  she  sits  on  the  beautiful  hill  top,  devoting 
every  ounce  of  her  loyalty  and  energy  to  the  present 
service  of  our  beloved  Republic,  and  at  the  same  time 
continuing  with  full  vigor  her  instruction  of  youth 
in  the  wisdom  of  the  ages  and  preparing  them  to 
serve  man  and  God  in  the  long  years  ahead. 

To  each  and  all  of  you  I  send  greetings,  and  to 
those  Bucknell  men  and  women  in  uniform,  I  send 
this  especially:    "God  bless  you,  each  and  all." 

Sincerely  yours,

C^°HE  effects  of  the  Second  World  War  were  evi- 
v_y  dent  in  this  year's  Commencement.  Only  104 
persons  received  baccalaureate  degrees,  102  having 
been  graduated  at  the  January  Commencement.  Miss 
Hope  Briggs  of  Forked  River,  New  Jersey,  earned 
top  honors,  being  graduated  magna  cum  laude.  Per- 
sons earning  cum  laude  honors  were  Robert  Herman 
Frantz,  Carl  Ferris  Overfield  Miller,  and  Paul  Anson 
Winter.  Seven  persons  received  the  master's  degree. 

Class  reunions,  having  been  discontinued  for  the 
duration,  were  not  held.  Skeleton  meetings  of  alum- 
nae and  alumni  associations  were  held  and  last  year's 
officers  were  continued  for  another  year. 

Four  members  of  the  Class  of  1893,  on  the  special 
invitation  of  the  president,  were  honored  guests  of 
the  University.  They  are  the  Reverend  E.  C.  Pauling, 
Miss  Flora  M.  Clymer,  Mrs.  G.  R.  Bigler,  and  Mrs. 
P.  A.  Vought. 


f~jfOR.  its  93rd  annual  Commencement  address,

of  international  renown,  Dr.  Hu  Shih,  Chinese  Am- 
bassador to  the  United  States  from  1938  to  1942. 
Dr.  Hu,  one  of  China's  most  distinguished  diplomats 
and  scholars,  came  to  this  country  as  a  Boxer  Indem- 
nity student.  He  won  degrees  from  Cornell  and  Co- 
lumbia Universities  and  holds  honorary  degrees  from 
some  fifteen  of  America's  leading  institutions  of 
learning. 

In  a  stimulating  address,  Dr.  Hu  told  his  Com- 
mencement audience  that  the  United  Nations  have  a 
better  chance  to  win  the  peace  this  time  than  they 
did  in  the  last  war.  He  declared  the  new  world  order 
"must  be  an  international  organization  based  upon 
the  principle  of  a  threat  of  overwhelming  power  to 
prevent  aggressive  wars.  It  must  be  able  to  com-

/£)  HOOSING  as  his  text  the  Coast  Guard  slogan, 
[_j  "You  have  to  go  out,  but  you  don't  have  to 
come  back,"  Bucknell's  President  brought  a  stirring 
challenge  to  courage  and  sacrifice  in  his  annual  bac- 
calaureate address  in  the  Beaver  Memorial  Meth- 
odist Church,  Thursday  evening,  May  27.  Picturing 
the  men  of  the  Coast  Guard  as  obeying  without  ques- 
tion their  sacrificial  slogan,  he  lashed  out  at  the 
smugness  and  indifference  of  the  American  people 
which  has  brought  us  to  the  position  where  we  are 
paying  with  hundreds  of  billions  of  dollars  and  mil- 
lions of  America's  finest  men. 

Speaking  to  the  Class  of  1943,  he  said,  "Can  you 
remember  1939  now  across  these  four  years?  It  is 
difficult  for  many  of  us  to  remember  back  into  Sep- 
tember, 1939,  because  of  all  that  has  happened  in  the 
interval.  We  shall  not  mourn  those  years,  however, 
for  they  were  years  of  which  we  as  a  nation  cannot 
be  proud;  years  which  thoughtful  Americans  regret 
and  deplore.  Would  that  we  might  have  a  chance 
to  live  them  over  again  and  correct  the  mistakes 
which  are  now  so  obvious  to  us. 

"I  recall  that  in  the  first  chapel  period  in  January, 
1940,  I  paid  my  respects  to  the  1930  decade  just 
closing,  as  the  'dirty  '30's,'  which  no  patriotic  citizen 
could  mourn.  Through  those  '30's,  which  in  '39 
brought  its  inevitable  climax  of  war,  we  in  America 
had  no  appreciation  for  the  Coast  Guard  slogan.  We 
were  living  smugly  and  dishonorably,  trying  to  pre- 
tend that  what  was  going  on  in  the  world  away  from 
our  shores  was  of  no  concern  to  us.  We  saw  Japan 
march  into  Manchuria  and  we  did  not  have  the  moral 
courage  to  stop  it.  We  saw  Italy  march  into  Ethiopia 
and  did  not  have  the  moral  courage  to  intervene. 
We  saw  Hitler  and  Mussolini  send  their  armed  forces 
into  Spain  (while  publicly  asserting  that  they  were 
not  doing  so)  and  we  did  not  have  the  courage  even 
to  sell  Spanish  Loyalists  the  few  planes  and  guns 
with  which  they  might  have  won  the  prelude  to  the 
World  War.  We  saw  Japan  march  into  China  and 
begin  to  murder  women  and  children  by  the  millions 
and  we  pretended  it  was  none  of  our  business.  In 
fact  we  proceeded  to  sell  to  Japan  at  a  large  profit 
all  the  oil  and  scrap  iron  they  needed  to  continue 
these  wanton  murders.  We  saw  Germany  make 
anschluss  with  prostrate  Austria  and  we  just  thought 
it  was  a  good  movie.  We  saw  Hitler  march  into 
Czechoslovakia  and  Serbia  and  Poland  and  Belgium 
and  Holland  and  Denmark  and  Norway  and  France 
and  Greece  and  Russia  and  each  new  tragedy  spelled 
humiliation  and  death  for  millions  of  human  beings. 
But  we  in  America  dug  our  heads  deeper  in  the 
sands  of  cowardice  and  selfishness  and  pretended  that 
all  these  things  were  no  business  of  ours. 

[2 


"We  saw  Hitler  kill  with  bombs  from  the  air 
50,000  old  men,  women  and  children  in  England, 
our  own  blood  cousins,  and  still  did  nothing  to  check 
or  punish  the  cruel  aggressors.  .  .  .  Our  slogan  be- 
came, 'You  don't  have  to  go  out,  unless  someone 
gives  you  a  guarantee  that  you  will  come  back,  plus 
a  bonus  and  retirement  with  pension  at  the  age  of  65.' 

"...  You  will  have  a  chance  to  create  a  better 
world  after  this  victory  has  been  won.  Make  the 
cornerstone  of  your  new  world — grit  instead  of  com- 
fort; courage  instead  of  selfishness;  honesty  instead 
of  rationalizing;    devotion  instead  of  self-pity. 

"Take  the  Coast  Guard  slogan  and  paraphrase  it 
as  follows: 

"  'You  must  give — you  don't  have  to  get' 

"  'You  must  save  others — you  don't  have  to  save  your- 
self.' 

"  'You  must  give  sympathy  and  aid  to  others — you  don't 
have  to  get  pity  for  yourself.' 

"  'You  must  serve  mankind — you  don't  have  to  be  re- 
warded.' " 

As  over  against  the  apathy  and  selfishness  of  the 
America  of  the  '30's,  Captain  Marts  set  the  heroic 
stand  of  General  Ivan  Panfilou  and  his  men,  who 
stopped  the  Germans  in  front  of  Moscow  but  gave 
their  lives;  the  Soviet  Marines  who  fought  to  the 
death  at  Sevastopol;  and  the  gallant  American  boys 
who  gave  their  lives  to  take  Hill  609  in  Tunisia. 
He  quoted  Drew  Middleton  in  his  classic  discussion

Of  EMUS  CLUB 


HE  Annual  Meeting  of  the  Bucknell  Emeritus 
Club  was  held  at  the  home  of  the  Secretary, 
May  27,  1943,  at  4:00  p.  m. 

President  Wyant,  '92,  of  Chicago,  Joseph  M. 
Wolfe  of  Lewisburg,  the  secretary,  and  the  new  mem- 
ber, Rev.  Flora  Clymer,  who  is  still  working  in 
Philadelphia,  were  present.  After  the  officers  were 
re-elected  the  secretary  reported  on  the  letters  he  had 
received  from  the  members  during  the  year. 

1858 — Mrs.  Harriet  Mason  Stevens,  Hampton,  Vir- 
ginia, our  oldest  member,  was  101  years  young  No- 
vember 11,  1942.  She  was  in  good  health  and  said, 
"The  first  100  years  are  the  hardest."  She  fell  in 
her  room  several  weeks  ago  but  broke  no  bones 
and  hopes  to  be  around  soon.  She  attributes  her 
longevity  "To  the  fact  I  had  something  besides  self 
to  occupy  my  mind,  also  to  my  daily  w:alks."  She 
worked  on  translations  of  the  Burmese  Bible  after 
she  returned  to  America,  when  her  husband  died. 
They  had  been  in  Burma  45  years. 

1875 — John  B.  Weston,  M.D.,  after  practicing  for 
some  years,  followed  ranching  for  a  while  and  set- 
tled at  Hamet,  California.  He  has  happy  memories 
of  the  University  at  Lewisburg. 

1878 — Miss  Sarah  B.  Barber  is  in  Lewisburg. 

1882 — Mrs.  Edna  Sarah  Dunning,  Douglasville, 
Pennsylvania,  was  driving  her  daughter  to  Com- 
mencement last  year  wmen  held  up  by  washouts.  They 
had  to  turn  back.    Perhaps  another  year. 

1882 — Miss  Laura  K.  Snyder,  Warren,  Pennsyl- 
vania, was  with  us  last  year.  It  was  good  to  see  her. 

1882 — Rev.  Benjamin  L.  Herr,  Homer,  New  York, 
had  many  happy  recollections  of  the  old  days. 

1882 — Angelette  Tilden  Courson,  Lancaster,  Texas, 
says,  "The  most  outstanding  memory  is  meeting  my 
husband,  Rev.  William  J.  Courson."  Since  his  death 
in  1938,  she  has  been  carrying  on  church  work. 

1884 — Miss  Annie  F.  Williams,  Long  Beach,  Cali- 
fornia, has  many  fond  recollections  of  home  and 
friends  in  Lewisburg. 

1884 — Miss  Elizabeth  Griffin,  Pasadena,  Califor- 
nia, sends  greetings  to  the  Club,  with  memories  of 
friends. 

1885 — Chella  Scott  Beale,  Chicago,  Illinois,  the 
first  woman  to  take  the  college  course  at  Bucknell, 
is  happy  for  the  training  she  received  here,  but  did 
not  feel  quite  able  for  the  trip. 

1887 — Dr.  J.  W.  A.  Young,  Chicago,  remembers 
the  days  in  physics,  and  our  travels  in  Paris  and 
London,  and  wishes  to  be  remembered  to  the  Club. 


Emeritus  Club  President,  Dr.  A.  R.  E.  Wyant 

1890 — Alice  Bush  Cole,  Los  Angeles,  California, 
is  still  using  her  music  by  teaching  classes  and  play- 
ing in  church.  She  recalls  the  times  when  the  Owenses 
lived  in  the  "Hully"  house. 

1890 — Carrie  Lloyd  Horter,  Haddonfield,  New 
Jersey,  is  sorry  she  cannot  be  here  to  become  a  charter 
member  and  is  almost  sorry  she  is  eligible.  She  is 
busy  in  their  new  home,  with  church  work  and  enter- 
taining two  granddaughters. 

1890 — Nellie  Irwin  Randies,  Salem,  New  York, 
speaks  of  many  of  the  old-timers  and  remembers  me 
especially  as  Sunday  school  teacher.  She  did  not  take 
chemistry.  She  and  her  husband,  five  children  and 
thirteen  grandchildren  celebrated  their  golden  wed- 
ding, January,  1942.   Enjoyed  seeing  Bucknell  films. 

1890 — Edith  Reber  Casswell,  Bloomsburg,  Penn- 
sylvania, has  traveled  and  had  many  experiences  of 
interest.  One  was  when  the  flood  of  '89  carried  the 
bridge  away.  She  is  now  interested  in  her  four 
"bright"  grandchildren. 

1890 — Anna  Sellers  Blackburn,  Lock  Haven,  Penn- 
sylvania, expected  to  be  present  but  did  not  arrive, 
perhaps  on  account  of  the  flood. 

1890 — John  J.  Woodruff,  Selinsgrove,  Pennsyl- 
vania, sends  greetings  to  the  "Old  Timers."  Com- 
mencement at  Susquehanna  kept  him  away. 

1890 — George  E.  Fisher,  Selinsgrove,  Pennsylva- 
nia, sends  greetings  to  "Dear  Old  Bucknell,"  but 
could  not  be  here  for  the  same  reason  as  Woodruff 
gave. 

1891 — Susanna   Stapleton   Brubaker,   Mifflinburg, 
Pennsylvania,  thinks  the  Emeritus  Club  a  fine  idea 
but  frail  health  prevents  her  presence.

PRESIDOIT  Of  R.  B.fl. 

C7f^\  HEN  Joseph  W.  Henderson  entered  Bucknell 
\SU  in  1904  he  was  fourteen  years  old,  the  age 
at  which  the  average  boy  is  entering  high  school. 
When  he  was  graduated  in  1908  at  eighteen,  he 
looked  his  age.  Indeed,  when  he  is  finally  elected 
president  of  the  American  Bar  Association  in  August 
of  this  year,  he  will  be  one  of  the  youngest  men  to 
occupy  that  enviable  position  in  the  history  of  the 
Association.  He  was  born  and  reared  in  Montgom- 
ery, Pennsylvania,  the  son  of  Samuel  B.  and  Jean 
Welles  Henderson.  He  prepared  for  college  at  the 
Bucknell  Academy.  After  graduating  from  Buck- 
nell he  entered  Harvard  Law  School,  receiving  the 
LL.B.  degree  in  1913,  the  year  he  received,  also,  the 
MA.  degree  from  Bucknell. 

Those  who  know  him  and  have  followed  his 
career  since  his  graduation  at  Bucknell  are  not  sur- 
prised at  his  rise  to  this  high  office  in  an  organiza- 
tion whose  membership  contains  32,000  lawyers  and 
associate  membership  150,000.  He  has  earned  this 
honor  by  his  consistent  growth  and  service  in  his  pro- 
fession. 

The  May,  1943,  issue  of  the  American  Bar  Asso- 
ciation journal  has  this  to  say  of  his  activities:  "Be- 
coming a  member  of  the  Association  in  1919,  Mr. 
Henderson  began  almost  immediately  to  attend  its 

[4 


meetings  and  to  take  an  active  interest  in  its  work. 
He  was  chairman  of  the  Membership  Committee  for 
Pennsylvania  in  1924-25,  member  of  the  Committee 
on  Admiralty  Law  in  1923-25  and  1929,  member  of 
various  Sections  and  Section  Committees,  Pennsyl- 
vania member  of  the  General  Council  in  1935,  State 
Delegate  from  Pennsylvania  1936-37,  member  of  the 
Board  of  Governors  1937-40,  and  Assembly  Delegate 
since  1940.  He  served  for  three  years  on  the  Budget 
Committee,  and  his  work  as  its  Chairman  did  much 
to  prepare  Association  finances  for  the  stresses  to 
which  they  have  lately  been  subjected.  He  is  a  mem- 
ber of  the  Association's  Committee  on  National  De- 
fense, now  known  as  the  Committee  on  War  Work; 
has  also  been  a  member  of  the  Council  of  the  Section 
on  Legal  Education  since  1940  and  is  now  its  vice- 
chairman.  At  the  recent  meeting  of  the  House  of 
Delegates,  he  gave  a  notably  constructive  report  on 
the  Custody  of  Alien  Property;  its  recommendations 
were  adopted  by  the  House. 

"Mr.  Henderson  has  also  been  active  in  the  Penn- 
sylvania Bar  Association  and  in  the  Philadelphia  Bar 
Association,  in  each  of  which  he  has  served  on  many 
important  committees,  and  has  been  chairman  of  the 
Board  of  Governors  of  the  latter  association.  He  is 
a  Presbyterian,  a  member  of  Phi  Kappa  Psi,  a  mem- 
ber of  the  executive  committee  of  the  Maritime  Law 
Association,  associate  Editor  of  American  Maritime 
Cases  since  1931,  and  is  also  a  member  of  the  council 
of  the  Harvard  Law  School  Association.  He  was 
decorated  as  an  Officer  and  Chevalier  of  the  Order  of 
Crown  of  Italy  for  legal  work  in  connection  with 
World  War  I. 

"Mr.  Henderson  enjoys  the  friendship  and  the 
confidence  of  the  leaders  and  workers  in  the  Ameri- 
can Bar  Association  throughout  the  United  States. 
Along  with  his  active  interest  in  the  lawyers'  effec- 
tive assistance  in  the  legal  problems  and  tasks  arising 
because  of  the  war,  his  concern  has  been  that  the 
American  Bar  Association  shall  be  of  the  greatest 
possible  usefulness,  along  practical  lines,  to  the 
average  practising  lawyer  in  his  work  for  his  clients 
and  his  community." 

He  has  been  a  member  of  the  firm  of  Rawle  and 
Henderson  since  1916  and  head  of  the  firm  since 
1930.  The  firm  has  represented  the  Italian  govern- 
ment in  eight  states  of  this  country.  He  has  carried 
on  legal  work  in  Argentina,  Brazil,  Chile,  and  Eng- 
land, and  has  handled  cases  of  considerable  legal 
bearing  before  the  United  States  Supreme  Court. 

Joe  has  been  active  in  the  affairs  of  Bucknell  and 
the  Alumni  Association.  He  has  been  president  and 
a  member  of  the  Board  of  Directors  of  the  General 
Alumni  Association.  He  is  a  member  of  the  Buck- 
nell Board  of  Trustees  and  at  the  meeting  on  May 
28,  1943,  was  elected  secretary  of  that  body.  He  is

BRIGflOi  GEHERflL 

/T)UCKNELL,  which  gave  General  Tasker  H. 
ID  Bliss,  World  War  I  Chief  of  Staff,  to  the 
nation,  now  comes  forward  with  another  regular 
army  general  in  the  person  of  Harold  N.  Gilbert, 
director  of  the  War  Department's  Office  of  Depend- 
ency Benefits  in  Newark,  New  Jersey. 

General  Gilbert  attended  Bucknell  during  1916-17 
in  the  School  of  Engineering.  As  a  result  of  his  grid- 
iron prowess  he  attained  considerable  distinction  in 
the  days  immediately  before  World  War  I,  as  the 
hard-hitting  center  on  the  Bison  varsity.  He  is  a 
member  of  the  Bucknell  chapter  of  Phi  Kappa  Psi. 

Soon  after  the  declaration  of  war  in  1917,  he  left 
the  campus  as  a  volunteer  and  was  sent  to  the  first 
officers'  Training  Camp  at  Fort  Niagara,  N.  Y.,  in 
company  with  a  number  of  other  Bucknellians.  Upon 
completion  of  the  course  he  was  commissioned  a 
second  lieutenant  of  infantry  and  assigned  to  a  com- 
bat unit.  He  remained  in  the  Regular  Army  after 
the  war  and  has  risen  through  the  various  commis- 
sioned grades  to  his  present  rank  of  brigadier  gen- 
eral. 

General  Gilbert  and  his  force  of  about  10,000  offi- 
cers and  civilian  employees  have  received  special 
commendation  from  Lt.  Gen.  Brehon  B.  Somervell 
and  many  other  high-ranking  Army  officials  for  their 

[6 


"splendid  achievement  ...  in  the  performance  of 
a  difficult  job."  Senator  Robert  R.  Reynolds  of  North 
Carolina,  Chairman  of  the  Military  Affairs  Commit- 
tee, inserted  a  letter  from  a  Washington  attorney  in 
an  April  issue  of  the  Congressional  Record  which 
praised  the  Office  of  Dependency  Benefits  for  setting 
an  outstanding  example  of  "efficiency  in  Govern- 
ment." 

General  Gilbert's  long  career  in  the  Army  includes 
many  colorful  assignments  which  have  carried  him 
to  all  parts  of  the  world.  And  in  their  performance 
he  has  earned  high  military  honors. 

Born  47  years  ago  in  Halifax,  Pennsylvania,  Gen- 
eral Gilbert  spent  his  boyhood  in  Williamsport, 
where  his  mother  still  lives.  His  interesting  career 
has  taken  him  to  China,  Japan,  the  Philippines, 
Hawaii,  Mexico,  Panama,  Canada,  France,  Germany, 
England  and  many  stations  in  the  United  States,  and 
has  brought  him  plenty  of  action,  excitement  and 
danger.  He  was  awarded  the  Distinguished  Service 
Cross  for  extraordinary  heroism  in  action  in  World 
War  I,  when,  exposed  to  heavy  machine  gun  and 
rifle  fire  and  under  enemy  observation,  he  crossed 
open  ground  less  than  75  yards  from  the  enemy  line 
and  saved  the  lives  of  wounded  comrades.  He  also 
received  the  Order  of  the  Purple  Heart  for  wounds 
received  in  action. 

His  big  job,  just  before  ODB,  was  reorganization 
of  the  Army's  Recruiting  Service  and  the  recruiting 
of  the  largest  peacetime  Army  and  Air  Force  in  the 
history  of  the  United  States.  Under  such  slogans  as 
"Keep  'Em  Flying,"  and  "Wings  Over  America,"' — 
phrases  coined  by  this  outstanding  administrator — 
and  by  the  extensive  use  of  the  first  mobile  recruiting 
stations  housed  in  completely  equipped  trailers,  he 
sold  the  advantages  of  training  and  an  Army  career 
to  dazzled  rookies  with  such  success  that  our  Regular 
Army  and  Air  Force  had  a  running  start  when  this 
war  finally  broke  upon  us.  That  job  earned  for  him 
the  award  of  the  Distinguished  Service  Medal  for 
exceptionally  meritorious  service  in  a  position  of 
great  responsibility  and  a  citation  from  the  Secretary 
of  War  for  "unusual  foresight,  excellent  judgment, 
and  resourcefulness  in  planning,  organizing  and  con- 
ducting with  conspicuous  success.  ..." 

Months  before  the  Servicemen's  Dependents  Al- 
lowance Act  of  1942  was  signed  by  the  President, 
General  Gilbert  planned  the  organization  to  handle 
the  avalanche  of  applications  that  would  follow. 
Today,  a  year  later,  there  are  3,376,204  active  family 
allowance  and  allotment-of-pay  accounts  on  the 
books  of  the  Office  of  Dependency  Benefits,  and 
ample  machinery  has  been  set  up  to  handle  the  ex- 
pected increase  in  request  for  family  allowances  and 
allotments-of-pay  to  soldiers'  dependents  which  will 
result  from  the  anticipated  induction  of  more  fathers 
and  childless  married  men  as  the  war  progresses. 


He  is  married  and  has  a  delightful  family  consist- 
ing of  his  wife,  the  former  Sara  Kathryn  Metzger, 
one  son,  Harold,  Jr.,  now  serving  with  the  Army's 
Armored  Force,  and  two  daughters,  Betty  Louise 
serving  with  the  Navy  Department,  and  Mary  Ellen 
serving  with  the  War  Production  Board. 

Other  Bucknellians  among  the  officers  at  the  ODB 
are  Captain  George  B.  Schuyler,  '21,  another  World 
War  veteran,  who  is  officer  in  charge  of  the  Public 
Relations  Section,  and  Lieut.  John  C.  Decker,  '36, 
assigned  to  the  Determinations  Branch. 


Captain  Marts  Sounds  Call  to  Graduating  Class 

(Continued  from  page  2.) 
of  that  occasion:  "The  Second  U.  S.  Corps  moves 
forward.  It  moves  because  Hill  609  fell  and  many 
a  good  man  with  it.  On  the  slopes  of  Hill  609  pop- 
pies blow  as  red  as  any  in  Flanders  and  among  them 
are  the  graves  of  Americans  who  died  as  bravely  and 
as  grandly  as  any  who  fell  at  Argonne,  at  Gettysburg, 
or  Bunker  Hill.  History  was  made  here  only  yester- 
day but  today  only  the  wind  blows  over  the  rich 
grass  and  ruffles  the  wheat.  And  there  is  silence  in 
the  graveyards  so  far  from  home." 

"To  the  boys  in  these  graves  you  owe  your  chance 
at  life  and  victory  and  a  better  world.  'They  had  to 
go  out,  but  they  did  not  have  to  come  back.' 

"It  will  not  be  an  easy  world — God  forbid.  It  will 
be  a  world  full  of  wounds  and  scars  to  be  healed; 
of  wrongs  to  be  righted;  of  suffering  to  be  assuaged; 
of  horrors  to  be  forgotten;  of  bitterness  to  be  sweet- 
ened. It  can  be  made  a  decent  world  only  if  you  shall 
serve  and  not  be  served,  save  and  not  be  saved.  I 
envy  you  your  life  in  it,  provided  you  become  citizens 
of  this  new  world  in  the  spirit  of  the  Coast  Guard, 
'You  have  to  go  out,  but  you  don't  have  to  come 
back.'  "

0  LIVER  J.  Decker,  '99,  died  in  the  Williamsport 
Hospital  on  May  17  from  complications  fol- 
lowing an  operation. 

In  the  passing  of  Mr.  Decker,  Bucknell  loses  one 
of  its  most  faithful  alumni.  He  was  the  first  editor 
of  the  Alumni  Monthly  and  was  president  of  the 
General  Alumni  Association.  For  25  years  he  was 
president  of  the  Williamsport  Bucknell  Club.  He 
was  elected  to  the  Bucknell  Board  of  Trustees  in 
1919  and  became  its  secretary  a  year  later,  holding 
this  position  until  his  death. 

Space  will  not  allow  the  listing  of  ail  the  civic, 
professional,  church,  and  fraternal  activities  in  which 
he  engaged  during  his  busy  career.  He  was  promi- 
nent and  active  as  a  lawyer,  a  Lutheran,  a  Mason, 
and  a  Kappa  Sigma,  having  been  national  president 
of  Kappa  Sigma  and  since  1933  historian  of  the  na- 
tional organization.  Of  his  civic  accomplishments, 
probably  his  greatest  interest  was  in  the  Williams- 
port Community  Concert  Association,  which  he  cre- 
ated. 

He  is  survived  by  his  wife  and  his  son,  Lieutenant 
John  C.  Decker,  3d.

Cy^HE  Navy  College  Training  Program  presents 
\S)  an  interesting  experiment  in  the  field  of  Amer- 
ican education.  Selected  young  men  who  have  been 
enlisted  in  the  Naval  Reserve  are  being  ordered  to 
duty  on  the  campuses  of  a  number  of  colleges  and 
universities  throughout  the  United  States.  The  only 
qualifications  required  of  these  men  are  the  degree 
of  physical  perfection  required  by  the  Navy,  "officer- 
like  qualities,"  and  the  demonstrated  ability  to  do 
college  work. 

Under  this  program  regular  college  instruction 
will  be  given  and  college  credit  may  be  obtained  by 
the  students  who  are  taking  the  training.  The  pro- 
gram will  be  offered  while  the  men  are  on  active 
duty,  under  military  discipline,  in  uniform,  and  re- 
ceiving pay. 

Bucknell  has  a  contract  with  the  Navy  to  furnish 
instruction,  housing,  messing  and  medical  service  for 
six  hundred  trainees.  Three  hundred  of  these  boys 
will  be  Marine  Corps  Reservists  and  the  remaining 
three  hundred  will  be  Navy  men.  Two  hundred 
thirty  of  the  six  hundred  will  be  given  instruction  in 
the  field  of  engineering,  fifty  will  be  pre-medical 
students  and  three  hundred  twenty  will  be  taking 
basic  training.  About  80  per  cent  of  the  group 
will  be  college  transfer  students  who  have  previously 
been  enlisted  in  the  V-l  or  V-7  branch  of  the  Naval 
Reserve.  The  remaining  one  hundred  twenty  will  be 
high  school  graduates  or  others  of  satisfactory  edu- 
cational qualification  who  were  selected  April  2  on 
the  basis  of  a  nation-wide  examination. 

The  V-l  and  V-7  students  will  be  allowed  to  con- 
tinue under  this  program  the  work  which  they  had 
started  previously.  The  beginning  V-l 2  trainees 
must  follow  a  prescribed  course  of  study  which  in- 
cludes during  the  first  year  mathematics,  English, 
history,  physics,  engineering  drawing,  descriptive 
geometry,  Naval  organization,  and  physical  training. 

After  having  completed  the  first  year's  work  a 
nation-wide  examination  will  be  given  to  all  of  these 
entering  V-l 2  students.  Those  who  qualify  may 
continue  their  training  in  those  fields  indicated  by 
their  individual  interests  and  demonstrated  ability. 

Former  V-l  and  V-7  students,  except  pre-medical, 
pre-dental,  and  specialized  engineering  students,  may 
complete  from  one  to  four  terms  in  addition  to  the 
training  they  have  already  taken. 

The  three  men's  dormitories  have  been  converted 
into  living  quarters  for  the  600  men  coming  to  Buck-

nell.  Offices  for  the  "Ship's  Company"  have  been 
established  in  the  six  rooms  surrounding  the  lounge 
on  the  second  floor  of  Roberts  Hall.  What  was  for- 
merly the  Sigma  Phi  Epsilon  fraternity  house  has 
been  purchased  by  the  University  and  has  been  re- 
modeled into  a  modern,  up-to-date  cafeteria  which 
will  permit  the  entire  group  to  be  served  within  an 
hour. 

Members  of  the  regular  staff  will  furnish  the  in- 
struction.  Several  specialists  have  been  furnished  by 
the  Navy  Department  to  assist  in  the  physical  train- 
ing program. 

One  hundred  and  seventy-two  Bucknellians  are 
enlisted  in  the  Marine  Corps  and  Naval  Reserves. 
It  is  expected  that  most,  if  not  all  of  this  group,  will 
be  ordered  back  to  the  campus. 

The  training  program  is  going  to  be  very  inten- 
sive. Reveille  will  be  at  5:  30  and  liberty  will  end 
at  10:  00  P.  M.  except  on  Saturday  and  Sunday.  Each 
student  will  be  required  to  carry  a  minimum  schedule 
of  19  hours,  including  physical  education.  One  hour 
of  military  drill  is  required  each  week. 

Strict  military  discipline  will  be  maintained  at  all 
times  in  order  that  the  training  program  will  not  re- 
flect discredit  on  the  Naval  Service. 

Trainees  may  participate  in  any  athletic  events  they 
desire  provided  that  such  participation  does  not  in- 
terfere with  their  educational  program.     The  gen- 


eral  purpose  of  the  entire  program  is  to  give  these 
trainees  a  complete  and  well-rounded  educational 
experience  which  will  make  it  possible  to  produce 
badly-needed  Navy  and  Marine  officers. 

Bucknell  has  entered  into  agreements  with  a  num- 
ber of  fraternities  to  lease  the  houses  of  these  fra- 
ternities for  the  housing  of  civilian  students.  Nor- 
mal fraternity  activities  may  be  carried  on  by  those 
fraternity  groups  now  on  the  campus  whether  they 
maintain  their  houses  or  not. 

With  approximately  500  women  students,  200 
civilian  men  and  600  trainees,  Bucknell  should  be 
able  to  maintain  its  normal  enrollment.  The  Uni- 
versity is  now  operating  on  a  full-time  basis.  Three 
sixteen-week  terms  will  be  offered  each  year.  Civilian 
students  can,  under  this  accelerated  program,  com- 
plete a  full  college  program  in  two  years  and  eight 
months. 

This  wartime  program  has  brought  about  a  num- 
ber of  changes  at  Bucknell.  The  University  is  glad 
to  make  these  required  modifications  in  the  interest 
of  the  national  welfare. 

Certain  non-essential  features  of  Bucknell's  peace- 
time college  program  are  "out"  for  the  duration. 
Long  vacations  have  been  abandoned.  Extra-curricu- 
lar activities  have  been  re-analyzed  and  those  having 
little  or  no  permanent  value  have  been  reduced  or 
eliminated.  Our  educational  program,  however,  is 
as  rich  and  full  as  it  has  ever  been.

By  Forrest  D.  Brown,  Secretary 

/T)Y  the  summer  of  1941  Bucknellians  were  al- 
jLJ  ready  moving  into  the  Armed  Forces  in  con- 
siderable numbers.  Christian  Association  leaders 
foresaw  that  within  a  few  months  most  of  their  male 
classmates  and  friends  would  be  there  too.  The 
Service  Council  was  set  up  in  September  under  the 
chairmanship  of  Jeanne  Haynes,  '43  and  Al  Ash- 
man, '43.  The  number  of  known  Bucknellians  in 
the  forces  at  that  time  numbered  about  150. 

The  special  services  set  up  at  that  time  have  been 
followed  ever  since,  with  two  exceptions.  At  first, 
published  lists  of  the  men  with  the  camp  addresses 
were  sent  to  all  the  fellows.  Candy  and  cookies 
were  made  by  the  women  students  and  sent  to  the 
camps.  The  continuing  work  includes  the  following: 

1.  An  up-to-date  mailing  list  for  what  now  in- 
cludes 1,500  men  and  women. 

2.  A  master  file  card  and  envelope  for  each  man 
or  woman  on  which  is  kept  a  record  of  his  camp 
movements,  promotions,  correspondence,  and  clip- 
pings pertaining  to  his  activities. 

3.  Panels  of  pictures  and  shoulder  insignia  from 
the  men  in  service  are  kept  on  display  in  the  Roberts 
Hall  Lobby.

Preparing  the  Bucknellian  for  Mailing 
to  Servicemen 


9] 


4.  The  Bucknellian  is  sent  weekly  to  some  800 
men  who  represent  the  classes  from  1940  onwards. 
Others  get  it  by  request. 

5.  A  monthly  packet  of  letters  is  sent  to  the  entire 
1,500.  These  letters  are  written  by  members  of  the 
student  body  and  faculty,  and  represent  a  close  tie 
with  Bucknellians  everywhere. 

6.  A  section  of  news  of  service  men  is  edited 
weekly  for  the  Bucknellian.  Through  the  courtesy 
of  the  Bucknellian  this  column  also  carries  many  of 
the  pictures. 

7.  Special  services  are  provided,  as  for  example 
furnishing  alumni  in  camp,  upon  request,  with  the 
names  of  other  alumni  in  their  vicinity,  or  with  the 
addresses  of  college  friends  with  whom  they  have 
lost  contact. 

That  these  services  from  "the  300  acres  set  apart" 
have  been  appreciated  there  is  abundant  evidence. 
Here  are  the  students  themselves  keeping  faith  with 
their  classmates  who  have  moved  out  ahead  of  them. 
A  committee  of  more  than  50  keeps  the  work  going. 
Many  of  those  who  worked  faithfully  on  the  campus 
end  last  year  are  on  the  receiving  end  this  year. 
Many  of  these  Bucknellians  were  pulled  from  class- 
rooms. We  hope  that  this  friendly  gesture  will 
bring  most  of  them  back  to  finish  their  work  for  de- 
grees and  full  participation  in  the  post-war  world. 

Some  sample  letters  follow:

from  Bucknell,   thanks  to  you  and  the  University

Dear  Bucknellians:  j 

Thanks  for  the  letters  from  the  Service  Council. 
It  really  made  me  feel  swell  to  know  that  you 
haven't  forgotten  us.  When  I  received  your  letters  I 
realized  that  after  all  this  is  worth  fighting  for.  En- 
closed you  will  find  an  emblem  of  the  tank  destroyers. 
The  T.  D.'s  were  formed  in  1941,  and  in  this  short 
time  they  have  become  one  of  the  fightingest  and 
most  important  units  of  modern  warfare. 

...  I  am  looking  forward  with  much  anticipa- 
tion to  the  day  I  can  return  to  our  campus  and  see 
all  of  my  old  friends.

Dr.  Arnaud  C.  Marts, 

Lewisburg,  Pennsylvania. 

(Union  Co.— U.  S.  A.) 

Dear  Dr.  Marts: 

Here  we  are  in  another  continent — about  5,000 
miles  from  the  States — yet  when  I  think  of  my  many 
friends  and  associates  over  there  it  makes  the  dis- 
tance seem  only  around  the  corner. 

After  two  rounds  as  Senior  Medical  Officer  on  one 
of  the  big  boys,  I  received  orders  to  my  present  as- 
signment on  the  active  front  in  North  Africa.  Cen- 
sorship forbids  any  discussion,  but  I  may  say  that  the 
duty  suits  me  to  a  T;  to  be  able  to  ease  the  suffering 
of  these  boys  and  to  occasionally  aid  in  saving  a  life 
makes  it  all  worthwhile. 

It  is  a  great  satisfaction  to  be  able  to  associate  with 
these  boys;  boys  like  our  students  at  Bucknell.  To 
date  I  have  met  14  Bucknell  men  in  Northwest  Af- 
rica and  at  sea;  we  are  unfortunately  not  permitted 
to  mention  names,  but  you  know  of  them  all.  Some 
are  in  the  Air  Corps,  some  in  the  Rangers,  Tank 
Corps,  Infantry,  Artillery — yes,  two  are  Command- 
ers; one  a  skipper  of  a  L.  S.  T. — three  are  Ensigns. 
Eight  of  the  14  I  knew  in  athletics  at  B.  U. — all  gave 
expression  of  deep  affection  for  the  old  school. 

With  kindest  regards  to  the  Bucknell  family.

Dear  Don: 

.  .  .  After  having  received  my  commission  at 
Aberdeen  in  January,  and  bouncing  around  for  a 
few  months,  I'm  finally  stationed  here,  and  set  up 
very  satisfactorily. 

As  for  the  Islands,  they're  still  pretty  Paradisical 
(is  there  such  a  word?)  in  spite  of  the  war.  Also  in 
spite  of  the  war:  I  learn  by  your  inclosures  that 
Bucknell  carries  on  its  usual  duties  and  services  and 
adds  new  ones.    That's  great  stuff  to  hear.

Dear  Bucknellians: 

.  .  .  On  February  2,  1943,  I  was  relieved  from 
assignment  to  the  76th  Division  at  Fort  Meade, 
Maryland,  and  assigned  on  cadre  to  a  newly  activated 
division  at  Ft.  Jackson,  S.  C. — a  section  of  the  coun- 
try which  should,  unquestionably,  be  returned  to  the 
southerners  or  Indians  who  were  instrumental  in 
making  their  whereabouts  known. 

...  I  am  enclosing  a  snapshot  and  a  sleeve  in- 
signia which  represents  the  "young  fighting  lions." 
I  trust  this  will  make  an  addition  to  the  number  of 
shoulder  patch  insignias  that  you  have  already  ac- 
cumulated. 

I  wish  you  would  be  so  kind  as  to  extend  my  per- 
sonal and  heartiest  regards  to  Dr.  Ralph  E.  Page, 
Dean  of  Men,  and  Dr.  Romeyn  H.  Rivenburg,  Dean 
of  the  University,  and  also  the  professors  whose 
friendship  I  shall  cherish  for  the  remaining  of  these 
hectic  days  of  war. 

With  personal  and  heartiest  regards  to  all  Buck- 
nellians participating  in  this  great  epic  of  war,  I  am 
sincerely  yours, 

Lou.

I  would  appreciate  it  very  much  indeed  if  you 
would  pass  along  my  very  good  regards  to  Profes- 
sors Matz,  Peterson,  Biscoe  and  Burgee.  They  may 
be  interested  to  know  that  much  which  they  taught 
me  some  years  ago  was  put  to  good  use  again  in  the 
early  part  of  April  when  I  attended  a  series  of  dis- 
cussions held  by  The  London  School  of  Economics 
at  Cambridge  University.  A  group  of  twenty-five 
Americans  were  selected  as  having  sufficient  back- 
ground in  economics  and  political  science  to  stand 
up  to  approximately  the  same  number  of  professors 
and  some  few  of  the  better  students  of  that  institu- 
tion. My  graduate  work  since  Bucknell  days  has 
been  a  means  of  keeping  me  in  touch  with  both  the 
fields  mentioned,  but  even  so  I  surprised  myself  at 
the  amount  of  economic  theory  I  had  retained  over 
the  past  seven  years.  The  discussions  covered  the 
possible  application  of  economic  truths  to  the  post- 
war situation.  I  wish  I  could  give  you  my  impres- 
sions of  the  value  of  the  kind  of  university  training 
given  over  here  and  the  outlook  which  these  aca- 


demic leaders  have  toward  the  U.  S.  role  in  peace 
time,  but  I  fear  that  must  be  deferred  until  I  next 
visit  Lewisburg,  which  will  be  almost  immediately 
as  I  see  my  own  country  again. 

There  are  any  number  of  the  faculty  I  should  like 
to  send  my  good  wishes;  all  I  can  do,  though,  is 
extend  my  regards  to  such  as  may  remember  me.

Dear  Bucknellians: 

I  completed  my  cadet  training  in  Meteorology  at 
N.  Y.  U.  on  May  10,  and  was  rewarded  by  a  com- 
mission and  an  assignment  to  Mitchel  Field,  Long 
Island,  New  York.  This  is  a  temporary  assignment 
(one  or  two  months)  for  me  to  pick  up  some  prac- 
tical knowledge  of  Army  administration  and  the 
operation  of  a  weather  station.  I  am  getting  plenty 
of  first-hand  experience — the  hard  way.  I  must  be 
able  to  think  fast  and  talk  fast  to  officers,  all  the  way 
up  to  Generals,  and  be  ready  for  any  conceivable 
question.  Unfortunately,  most  of  my  work  is  with 
restricted  information,  so  that,  much  as  I  would  like 
to,  I  can't  pass  on  any  juicy  bits  I  might  happen  upon. 

Best  wishes  to  my  friends  on  the  Hill  and  else- 
where. 

Sincerely,

A  letter  from  Ralph  H.  Moore,  '14,  to  the  Alumni 
Office  says: 

"I  received  a  very  interesting  letter  from  Pvt. 
Edgar  K.  Smith,  formerly  of  the  class  of  1942,  I  be- 
lieve. He  had  to  drop  out  of  school  because  of  the 
Army.  This  letter  came  from  New  Guinea,  and  I 
shall  give  you  some  parts  of  the  letter  which  I 
thought  might  be  interesting  for  the  Bucknellian,  as 
coming  from  a  Bucknellian  in  distant  lands.  Edgar 
writes: 

'The  Service  Council  sent  me  a  couple  of  copies 
of  the  Bucknellian  which  I  was  pleased  to  get.  I  have 
lost  contact  with  the  fellows  at  school  because  it  is 
not  easy  to  keep  up  with  correspondence.' 

..."  'There  are  some  tribes,  too,  who  aren't 
vegetarians  by  any  means,  but  those  natives  we  see 
are  friendly.  I  stumbled  into  a  native  village  the 
other  day  and  met  some  who  didn't  seem  so,  how- 
ever.    One  bushy-haired  savage  with  a  stick  in  his

S.  0.  t  C£L€BRHT€S 


0N  Saturday  evening,  May  15th,  some  fifty 
alumni,  plus  the  active  Chapter,  met  to  cele- 
brate the  50th  anniversary  of  the  Chapter  at  Buck- 
nell,  to  pay  tribute  to  Leroy  T.  Butler,  efficient  and 
loyal  advisor  for  most  of  those  50  years,  and  to  hear 
reports  from  members  of  the  Campaign  Committee 
charged  with  raising  funds  to  clear  the  mortgage. 

In  the  absence  of  President  Marts,  Dean  Ralph 
Page  felicitated  the  Chapter  on  its  fifty  years  at 
Bucknell  and  Mr.  O.  K.  Quivvy  of  Baltimore,  Past 
National  President  of  the  Fraternity,  reviewed  the 
history  and  ideals  of  S.  A.  E. 

To  climax  the  evening,  the  chairman  of  the  Cam- 
paign Committee  described  the  work  and  amid  abso- 
lute silence  and  intense  interest  announced  that  suffi- 
cient funds  were  in  hand  to  satisfy  the  mortgage. 
As  a  final  touch  Mr.  Butler  touched  a  lighted  match 
to  the  mortgage. 

To  memoralize  Mr.  Butler's  fine  work  for  the  Fra- 
ternity, a  beautiful  oil  painting  of  him  was  presented 
to  be  hung  in  the  Chapter  House. 

Notwithstanding  the  war's  toll  on  fraternity  mem- 
bership, the  Chapter  is  in  a  good  financial  position 
because  of  the  small  overhead  expense  needed  to 
carry  on. 

A  committee  was  appointed  to  offer  to  the  Univer- 
sity the  facilities  of  the  Chapter  House  for  use  during 
the  war.

r?TERNAL  GOD,  Almighty  Father  of  us  all, 
(3  Thou  that  down  through  all  the  years  hast  had 
mercy  and  compassion  on  all  that  serve  Thee,  hear 
our  prayer  as  we  meet  here. 

For  we  still  hold  that  firm  faith  our  fathers  held 
when  on  the  hills  and  in  the  groves  they  built  their 
structures  and  dedicated  them  to  Thee,  and  whose 
slender  spires  still  stand  pointing  like  fingers  toward 
the  Giver  of  all  good  and  perfect  gifts. 

One  hundred  years  ago,  O  God,  men  gathered  to- 
gether and  taking  council  with  Thee  selected  a  place 
on  a  hill  and  in  a  grove  where  young  men  and  young 
women  might  be  gathered  together  and  taught  those 
great  truths  that  alone  can  make  men  free.  Then, 
having  gathered  learning  and  knowledge,  that  they 
might  go  out  and  spread  it  through  all  the  world. 

And  now  we  are  gathered  here  together  after  a 
hundred  years,  loving  and  revering  Thee,  to  pay 
homage  to  our  Mother  of  Knowledge,  old  Bucknell, 
a  better,  a  stronger,  a  more  understanding  university 
through  the  seasoning  of  time. 

We  ask  Thy  Blessing  on  all  those  who  have  gone 
out  from  her  doors,  and  though  many  of  us  have 
grown  gray  under  the  flowing  years,  we  still  carry  in 
our  hearts  her  hopes,  her  enthusiasms,  her  illusion 
of  eternal  youth  undimmed  by  age  or  time. 

We  ask  Thy  Blessing  on  those  still  in  her  halls  of 
learning,  to  whom  she  gives  her  heart  and  shares  her 
vast  stores  of  knowledge,  to  make  them  better  than 
they  are. 

And  now  as  we  are  gathered  here  to  share  this 
bread  and  salt,  this  meat  and  drink,  so  may  we  share 
with  her  our  hopes,  our  aspirations,  our  substance, 
that  she  may  go  down  the  years  in  stately  dignity, 
safe  in  the  shining  armor  of  our  faith. 

For  we  come  to  Thee,  our  Father,  in  the  Name  of 
Our  Saviour,  Jesus  Christ,  Our  Lord.     Amen.

nose  seemed  to  want  to  know  what  I  was  doing  there. 
I  tried  to  explain  with  gestures.  Surrounded  by  jab- 
bering, chocolate-colored  ex-headhunters,  I  shuddered 
at  the  thought  that  they  could  forget  themselves  and 
revert  to  their  primitive  pastime.  However,  they 
were  friendly  and  hospitable  and  offered  me  food. 
I  refused,  not  trusting  their  soap  and  water  habits. 
Besides,  I  wasn't  hungry  after  looking  at  their  long, 
sharp  spears.'

DO  YOL 


REMEMBER? 


President  Ttlaits  Whites  to  SucknelUans 

Bucknell  President  Captain  Arnaud  C.  Marts  has  just  recently  addressed 
the  following  letter  to  some  two  thousand  Bucknellians  residing  in  sections  out- 
side the  main  concentration  centers  of  Bucknellian  strength.  It  states  the  case 
for  the  One  Hundredth  Birthday  Gift  and  for  capital  debt  liquidation. 


President's  Office, 
Bucknell  University 
Lewisburg,  Penna. 

I  wish  I  could  talk  to  you  personally.   I  wish  still  more  that  I  could 
be  in  10,000  places  at  once  and  talk  with  each  Bucknellian  personally. 

I  know  that,  no  matter  how  well  you  know  Bucknell,  you  would  enjoy 
hearing  about  the  new  evidence  which  develops  year  by  year,  and  almost 
month  by  month,  that  Bucknell  is  sound  academically,  that  her  students 
still  hold  high  ideals  and  that  her  alumni  are  making  a  splendid  record  in 
helping  to  win  both  the  war  and  the  peace. 

You  already  know  from  the  Alumni  Monthly  and  other  literature  why  I  am 
writing  to  you  now.   Our  college  leads  in  nearly  every  way  except  in  capi- 
tal funds.   In  this  respect,  we  still  need  to  progress. 

We  are  embarrassed  chiefly  with  a  capital  debt  of  $285,000,  in- 
herited from  the  past.   We  have  cut  it  down  from  nearly  twice  that  amount 
but  it  still  costs  us  many  thousands  a  year  in  interest.   These  dollars 
could  be  spent  more  profitably  for  academic  uses. 

We  are  out  to  liquidate  this  debt  before  Bucknell 's  One  Hundredth 
Birthday,  February  5th,  1946.   Two-thirds  of  it  is  pledged  now,  in  sub- 
scriptions payable  in  twenty-five  months.   Bucknellians  are  our  main  de- 
pendence.  For  economic  reasons  this  debt  should  be  paid  off  while  the 
National  income  is  up  at  present  levels. 

Post-war  rehabilitation  will  require  the  best  college-trained  lead- 
ership.  Bucknell  graduates  must  be  well  equipped  to  become  key  persons  in 
this  leadership. 

We  will  need  all  the  help  you  can  give  us,  whether  it  is  one,  two, 
three,  or  more  One  Hundredth  Birthday  Roster  Shares  of  $4.00  per  month  for 
25  months,  or  a  lesser  gift,  the  size  to  be  dictated  by  your  conscience  and 
your  financial  condition.   Gifts  of  any  amount  will  be  greatly  appre- 
ciated. We  can  use  them  all. 

Bucknell  has  been  so  engrossed  in  doing  her  work  that  she  has  not 
appealed  to  her  children  for  funds  yearly  as  do  most  colleges.  Now  we  have 
a  real  opportunity  to  repay  in  part  the  great  debt  we  owe  her. 

I  am  enclosing  a  card  which  I  trust  you  will  send  back  in  the  return 
envelope  with  a  message  of  cheer  and  a  pledge  for  the  amount  that  you  want 
to  budget  for  Bucknell  in  the  next  25  months. 

We  have  two-thirds  of  it  pledged,  and,  with  your  help,  we  hope  to 
come  down  the  home  stretch  in  July  with  the  full  $285,000  assured.  Your 
subscription  will  represent  one  of  several  thousand  Bucknellian  matches 
which  will  burn  these  notes  on  February  5,  1946. 

By  that  time  we  hope  the  war  will  be  won.  We  expect  to  be  in  a  new 
era.   Students  who  entered  last  fall  will  graduate  in  1946.   Let  us  help 
them  graduate  from  a  college  that  has  celebrated  her  One  Hundredth  Birth- 
day free  from  debt  ! 

Very  sincerely,

ARNAUD  C.  MARTS. 


fl  LETTER  fROfli  THE 
GIFT  CfldlPfllGfl  CHflUffll 


L 


To  the  Alumni: 

There  is,  in  Campaign  Manager  Doug  Foster's 
report  on  the  One  Hundredth  Birthday  Gift  project, 
an  encouraging  indication  of  success.  There  is  no 
doubt  about  the  ability  of  the  alumni  to  subscribe 
the  amount  of  their  quota.  Not  only  can  we  "go 
over  the  top,"  but  if  we  don't  we  must  hang  our 
heads  in  shame.  President  Marts  has  voiced  his  con- 
fidence that  the  Trustees  will  produce  the  amount  of 
their  quota.  Most  of  the  Trustees  are  not  even  Buck- 
nell  alumni.  They  have  never  received  from  Buck- 
nell  in  the  great  measure  that  we  alumni  have  but 
they  are  constantly  giving  to  Bucknell  their  time, 
their  labor  and  their  financial  support.  Will  we 
alumni  meet  that  challenge?  Our  love  and  loyalty 
for  Bucknell  will  not  permit  us  to  evade  it.  We  can 
produce  our  quota  and  we  need  not  give  "until  it 
hurts."  All  we  need  to  do  is  give  "until  we  feel 
good,"  because  then  we  will  have  given  to  the  point 
where  our  conscience  feels  good  and  assures  us  that 
we  have  given  in  a  measure  somewhat  equivalent  to 
what  Bucknell  gave  to  us. 

Just  a  word  to  the  Bucknellians  who,  in  spite  of 
the  hard  work  of  the  local  committees,  may  not  yet 
have  been  personally  solicited.  You  know  it's  hard 
in  these  days  of  restricted  gas,  tires,  and  all  forms  of 
transportation,  to  reach  everyone,  in  spite  of  our  good 
intentions  to  do  so.  I  have  a  message  of  cheer  for 
you  who  may  have  been  missed.  You  were  not  in- 
tentionally slighted!  And  you  have  the  privilege  to 
subscribe  right  now.  Just  write  to  the  Alumni  Office 
at  Bucknell  and  say,  "I  want  to  subscribe  a  share 
(or  two  or  three)  to  Bucknell's  Hundredth  Birthday 
Gift."  A  card  will  do.  If  you  give  your  correct 
address  you  will  receive  a  pledge  card  by  return  mail. 
I  assure  you  I  am  not  fooling.  Won't  you,  too,  help 
Bucknell?  You'll  be  helping  to  prevent  inflation  if 
you  assist  in  deflating  Bucknell's  debt.  Also  you'll 
have  that  glorious  feeling  of  having  helped  the  finest 
college  in  the  land.  Let  us  alumni  for  just  this  once 
change  the  first  line  of  Alma  Mater  and  sing,  "Dear 
Bucknell,  now  to  thee  we're  giving." 

Yours  for  a  Happy  Birthday, 

E.  A.  Snyder, 

National  Alumni  Chairman. 


flLUmni  SPED  HUNDREDTH 
BIRTHDfly  GIFT 

By  J.  Douglass  Foster 

CTTNITH  a  total  of  $184,196  subscribed  as  of 
\$U  June  17,  the  One  Hundredth  Birthday  Gift 
project  to  free  Bucknell  of  her  $285,000  capital  debt 
has  gained  tremendous  momentum  and  is  winging  its 
way  down  the  home  stretch  with  every  prospect  of 
final  success.  The  ultimate  objective  is  to  have  the 
necessary  cash  on  hand  by  February  5,  1946,  so  that 
the  note-burning  ceremony  planned  for  that  day  can 
be  a  significant  feature  of  the  great  Centennial  Cele- 
bration, Bucknell's  only  One  Hundredth  Birthday. 

Says  Trustee  Chairman  Roy  G.  Bostwick,  '05:  "No 
more  debt  will  be  incurred."  Says  President  Arnaud 
C.  Marts:  "Amen." 

The  debt  liquidation  campaign  has  been  paced 
down  the  field  by  two  fraternity  fund-raising  efforts, 
both  of  which  recently  achieved  their  goals.  The 
Sigma  Chi  alumni,  headed  by  Frank  S.  Townsend, 
'21,  have  provided  for  a  new  house,  while  the  Sigma 
Alpha  Epsilon  alumni,  led  by  James  A.  Tyson,  '11, 
have  burned  a  mortgage.  Edgar  A.  Snyder,  '11,  Na- 
tional Alumni  Chairman  of  the  One  Hundredth 
Birthday  Gift,  has  pointed  out  that  this  is  encourag- 
ing news  to  our  various  local  campaign  committees. 

As  of  June  17,  1,296  Bucknellians  had  subscribed 
toward  the  debt  removal.  Of  these,  621  were  named 
on  the  rapidly  growing  list  of  those  who  have  sub- 
scribed one  or  more  "Shares"  of  $100  each.  This  list 
will  be  printed  as  the  One  Hundredth  Birthday  Gift 
Roster  in  Professor  Lewis  Theiss'  "Centennial  His- 
tory of  Bucknell." 

Among  the  groups  who  have  gone  over  the  top  to 
date  on  their  quotas  are:  Western  Pennsylvania  area, 
Wesley  A.  Wolffe,  '11,  and  Mrs.  William  V.  Mahaf- 
fey,  '25,  co-chairmen;  Pittsburgh  district,  Clyde  P. 
Bailey,  '29,  and  Mrs.  T.  A.  O'Leary,  '12,  co-chair- 
men; Johnstown  district,  Robert  J.  Haberstroh,  '22, 
chairman,  and  Marlin  B.  Stephens,  '30,  co-chairman; 
Harrisburg  district,  Dr.  Harvey  F.  Smith,  '94,  Harvey 
S.  Bogar,  '01,  Bruce  E.  Butt,  '16,  Walter  B.  Shaw,  '23, 
Nelle  W.  Aumiller,  '21. 

Also  over  the  top  in  the  New  York  Metropolitan 
district  are:  the  Elizabeth  zone,  Anthony  Steinhilper, 
'05,  chairman;  the  Westchester  zone,  Harvey  D. 
Crawford,  '18,  chairman;  and  the  Nassau  zone,  Mr. 
and  Mrs.  Christian  G  Gerken,  '30,  co-chairmen. 

Also  the  York,  Pa.,  district,  headed  by  Reverend 
J.  H.  Fleckenstine,  '12,  and  Penrose  C.  Wallace,  '26, 
and  the  Germantown  zone,  John  C.  Johnson,  '04,

chairman,  exceeded  their  quota.  In  the  South  Jersey 
district,  headed  by  Kenneth  W.  Slifer,  '26,  and  Dr. 
Mabel  Grier  Lesher,  '01,  three  of  the  four  zones 
"made  the  grade,"  namely:  Bridgeton  zone,  L.  M. 
Kimball,  '23,  and  Mrs.  R.  N.  Chubb,  '19;  Wood- 
bury, W.  G.  Gehring,  '23,  and  J.  L.  Kohl,  Jr.,  '32; 
and  Salem  zone,  Kirby  Walls,  '29,  B.  O.  Ranck,  '18, 
and  Mrs.  T.  C.  Summerill,  '26. 

District  percentages  with  respect  to  quotas  were, 
on  June  17:  Pittsburgh,  105,  Uniontown,  70,  Al- 
toona,  60,  Johnstown,  161,  New  York  Metropolitan, 
79,  Philadelphia,  75,  Trenton,  60,  Wilmington,  80, 
Baltimore,  88,  Washington,  92,  South  Jersey,  85. 

Also  Harrisburg,  106,  York,  103,  Mount  Carmel, 
70,  Allentown,  66,  Reading,  61. 

Other  districts  were  in  process  of  organization 
when  this  was  written,  with  quotas  as  shown:  Scran- 
ton,  $6,300;  Wilkes-Barre,  $11,550;  Hazleton, 
$2,450;  Williamsport,  $9,450;  Danville,  $1,575; 
Sunbury,  $5,650;  Milton,  $5,950;  and  Union  Coun-

subscriptions  by  mail  from  various  sections  of  the 
country.  Interest  in  the  project  seems  very  keen, 
indeed. 

Responsibility  for  getting  the  $285,000  subscribed 
by  August  1  and  paid  before  1946  has  been  delegated 
in  half  to  the  Board  of  Trustees,  with  the  alumni 
body  in  general  being  asked  to  be  responsible  for  the 
second  half  of  $142,500.  As  of  June  17,  the  trustee 
quota  had  been  63  per  cent  subscribed  with  a  total 
of  $90,210,  while  the  general  alumni  quota  of 
$142,500  had  been  66  per  cent  pledged  or  paid  with 
a  total  of  $93,986.  The  grand  total  thus  was 
$184,196,  or  64  per  cent  of  the  $285,000  required. 

President  Arnaud  C.  Marts  said  last  week  that  he 
felt  confident  the  trustees  would  complete  their  share 
of  the  total  assignment  in  time  for  the  "note  burn- 
ing." He  pointed  out  again  that  the  interest  on  the 
debt  is  costing  the  University  many  thousands  a  year, 
and  that  this  annual  amount  will  do  a  great  deal  of 
good  when  it  can  be  applied  to  other  more  useful 
purposes. 

An  interesting  tribute  to  the  success  of  the  debt 

campaign  was  made  by  Jim  Tyson  at  the  Bucknell 

dinner  in  Harrisburg,   Tyson's   former  home.    Jim 

said:    "The  campaign  has  been  a  very  pleasant  and

By  Dr.  C.  M.  Bond 

C^°HE  Bucknell  Alumni  group  fostering  the  reli- 
\f)  gious  activities  on  the  campus  is  carrying  on 
a  quiet  but  effective  program.  On  Thursday,  March 
25,  Kenneth  Slifer,  '26,  President  of  the  Associates, 
made  a  stimulating  address  at  the  Bucknell  Chapel 
on  the  subject,  "Advertising  Religion."  A  luncheon 
meeting  of  the  Associates  was  held,  in  connection 
with  Mr.  Slifer's  visit  to  the  campus,  for  the  purpose 
of  reviewing  the  progress  of  the  organization  and  to 
shape  its  immediate  policies. 

Brief  reports  of  the  campus  religious  agencies  were 
made  by  Professor  Bond  and  Mr.  Forrest  Brown.  In 
these  reports  it  was  brought  out  that  the  College 
Chapel  continues  to  make  a  very  large  contribution 
to  the  religious  challenge  and  inspiration  of  the  stu- 
dents, and  that,  in  spite  of  the  wartime  dislocations, 
the  Student  Christian  Association  is  maintaining  a 
broad  program  of  service  to  and  training  of  many 
students  in  the  leadership  of  religious  and  welfare 
activities. 

One  interesting  development  in  the  work  of  the 
Religious  Life  Associates  is  to  be  found  in  the  con- 
tacts which  have  been  made  with  350  Student  Coun- 
selors in  churches  located  in  Pennsylvania,  New 
York,  and  New  Jersey.  Most  of  these  counselors  are 
in  Baptist  churches  but  the  contacts  are  not  limited 
to  the  churches  of  this  one  denomination.  The  plan 
calls  for  a  two-way  relationship.  Not  only  will  the 
counselors  be  able  to  inform  their  young  men  and 
women  about  Bucknell  University,  but  aiso  ministers 
will  be  encouraged  to  keep  in  touch  with  youth  from 

[36 


their  churches  who  are  studying  at  Bucknell.  It  will 
also  make  possible  a  closer  connection  between  the 
home  churches  and  those  persons  on  the  campus  who 
are  responsible  for  the  leadership  of  the  program  of 
religious  activities. 

The  charter  membership  of  the  Religious  Life 
Associates  is  still  open.  Any  Bucknellian  desiring  to 
be  identified  with  this  group  is  urged  to  write  to 
Mr.  Kenneth  W.  Slifer,  Ayer  Building,  Washington 
Square,  Philadelphia,  Pa.,  or  to  Professor  Charles  M. 
Bond  at  Lewisburg.  It  is  expected  that  by  November 
of  this  year  the  membership  will  be  well  over  three 
hundred. 

fRflMH  PLANS  SHIM  CHI 


(>°HE  Sigma  Chis  believe  that  the  time  to  pre- 
C_y  pare  for  peace  is  in  time  of  war.  As  the  result 
of  an  aggressive  campaign  among  their  Alumni, 
which  is  now  rapidly  drawing  to  a  close,  they  have 
a  hope  chest  filled  with  war  bonds,  cash  and  pledges 
which  they  are  going  to  spend  after  the  war  for  the 
erection  of  Sigma  Chi  Hall,  a  new  home  for  their 
Chapter,  which  we  are  given  to  understand  will  com- 
pare favorably  with  any  fraternity  house  now  at 
Bucknell.  The  University  has  invited  the  Sigma  Chis 
to  build  their  house  on  the  campus.  The  invitation  is 
likely  to  be  accepted  and  if  so  Sigma  Chi  Hall  will 
conform  to  the  dignified  architecture  of  the  college 
buildings,  be  built  to  endure  with  them,  and  be  lo- 
cated where  it  will  fit  in  with  the  ambitious  plans 
that  the  University's  architect  has  laid  out  for  the 
future  of  Bucknell. 

In   their   plans   the   Sigma   Chis   have   laid   great 
(Continued  on  inside  back  cover  page.) 


/y)ERSONS  who  have  not  been  in  touch  with 
J  Bucknell's  wartime  changes  may  still  be  expect- 
ing the  fall  semester  to  begin  in  September.  For  the 
duration  this  arrangement  is  out.  The  University  is 
now  running  on  a  three-semester  (or  term)  basis,  the 
terms  for  the  coming  year  beginning  July  5,  Novem- 
ber 6  and  March  6.  Most  men  students  will  attend 
college  the  entire  year.  Some  women  students  will 
prefer  to  attend  only  two  semesters,  as  before.  Those 
who  attend  only  two-thirds  of  a  year  may  select  any 
two  terms,  each  of  which  is  sixteen  weeks  in  length.

QlNCE  1926  the  Bucknell  Department  of  Educa- 
(2j  tion  has  held  each  autumn  a  conference  on  edu- 
cation, to  which  were  invited  Bucknell  students  and 
faculty  as  well  as  teachers  from  all  the  schools  in 
Central  Pennsylvania.  This  fall  the  conference  will 
be  strictly  a  Pan-American  affair.  Outstanding  spe- 
cialists in  Latin-American  education  will  discuss  with 
Pennsylvania  students  and  teachers  the  problems  and 
techniques  of  education  in  our  sister  republics. 

This  year  the  education  conference  will  be  com- 
bined with  an  all-university  affair  similar  to  that  held 
a  year  ago,  to  which  were  invited  college  students 
from  every  Latin-American  country,  as  well  as  many 
specialists  in  the  various  phases  of  life  in  these  coun- 
tries. The  affair  will  be  held  on  October  1.  2,  and  3. 
Alumni  are  cordially  invited  to  attend.

Installation  Banquet  of  Sigma  Delta  Pi 

THE  ALPHA  UPSILOn  CHAPTER 

Of  SIGfUfl  DELIA  PI 

/£7)N  January  15,  1943,  the  Spanish  Club  of  Buck- 
V_y  nell  University  was  granted  a  charter  to  become 
the  Alpha  Upsilon  chapter  of  Sigma  Delta  Pi,  the 
National  Honorary  Spanish  Fraternity.  There  were 
42  chapters  of  the  organization  among  the  colleges 
and  universities  of  the  United  States  but  no  college 
or  university  in  Pennsylvania  was  represented  in  the 
membership  of  the  fraternity.  Alpha  Upsilon  chap- 
ter of  Bucknell.  therefore,  became  the  43rd  chapter  of 
Sigma  Delta  Pi  and  the  first  chapter  in  Pennsylvania. 
On  February  14,  1943,  formal  installation  of  the 
chapter  and  initiation  of  12  active  members  and  3 
honorary  members  was  held  in  the  Lounge  of  the 
Vaughn  Literature  Building,  followed  by  a  banquet 
in  the  Orange  and  Blue  Room  of  the  Hotel  Lewis- 


burger. 

Sigma  Delta  Pi  is  an  honor  fraternity  whose  pur- 
pose is,  "to  foment  a  wider  knowledge  of  and  a 
greater  love  for  the  Hispanic  contributions  to  modern 
culture;  to  stimulate  a  greater  interest  therein  on  the 
part  of  our  students  in  colleges  and  universities  of 
the  United  States;  to  foster  friendly  relations  and 
the  cooperative  spirit  between  the  nations  of  His- 
panic speech;  and  to  reward  those  who  show  special 
attainments  and  interests." 

Alpha  Upsilon  chapter  has  held  biweekly  meetings 
at  the  home  of  the  sponsor,  Professor  F.  A.  Sprague, 
during  the  year,  where  students  had  the  opportunity 
to  converse,  sing,  play  games  in  Spanish,  listen  to 
Spanish  music,  or  take  part  in  or  witness  short  dra- 
matic dialogues  and  skits.  The  work  for  the  year 
1943  was  closed  by  the  presentation  of  a  one-act  play 
witnessed  by  the  majority  of  the  students  of  Spanish 
in  the  college  and  their  friends.

the  Clubi 


Z'T)  UCKNELL  Alumni  Clubs  are  comparable  to  the  rest  of  America.  While  they  have  not  been  able 
-L-J    to  meet  so  often  as  in  peace  time,  they  have  lost  none  of  their  enthusiasm  for  Bucknell  if  state- 
ments from  club  presidents  may  be  taken  as  the  criterion. 

Robert  K.  Bell,  '20,  president  of  the  Atlantic  City  Bucknell  Club,  tells  us  that  the  Army  has  prac- 
tically taken  over  the  city,  mentions  the  many  restrictions  that  prevent  travel,  and  closes  his  letter  as 
follows:   "This  is  not  in  any  way  an  indication  of  lack  of  interest,  but  simply  a  case  of  necessity." 

John  O.  L.  Roser,  '11,  president  of  the  Pittsfield,  Massachusetts,  Club,  says:  "Other  activities  and 
absence  of  interested  members  of  the  Pittsfield  Alumni  Club  have  prevented  any  meetings  of  our  group 
in  the  present  school  year. 

"We  feel  we  have  just  as  alive  an  alumni  group  as  if  we  were  holding  regular  meetings.  In  fact,  I 
think  all  of  the  members  will  think  more  of  the  organization  for  not  calling  on  them  at  this  time. 

"Fat  Snyder  has  gotten  me  a  little  excited  about  putting  the  urge  on  some  anniversary  subscriptions, 
and  something  will  probably  come  of  this  before   too  long." 

Ruth  Warfel,  '19,  secretary  of  the  Washington  Club,  reports  two  fine  meetings  this  year,  with  an 
attendance  of  fifty  at  the  February  affair.  Also,  she  reports  fine  times  at  the  get-togethers  in  connection 
with  their  successful  Hundredth  Birthday  Fund  Campaign. 

Walter  B.  Shaw,  '23,  Harrisburg  president,  reports  monthly  meetings  the  first  Thursday  of  each 
month.  At  the  April  meeting  twenty  were  present,  and  at  the  special  Birthday  Fund  meeting  on  May  27, 
seventy  persons  attended  an  enthusiastic  banquet,  where  more  than  a  third  of  the  quota  of  $6,100  was 
reported  subscribed  before  the  meeting.  Speakers  are  already  being  engaged  for  next  year's  meetings.  On 
September  2,  the  acting  Alumni  Secretary  will  speak  and  show  moving  pictures. 

The  Sunbury  Club  meets  weekly  at  the  Aldine  Hotel  for  lunch  at  12:00  o'clock  on  Monday.  All 
alumni  in  the  vicinity  are  cordially  invited  to  meet  with  the  group.  The  annual  banquet,  usually  held 
in  January  or  February,  was  postponed  this  year  in  anticipation  of  the  big  Birthday  banquet  tentatively 
set  for  Saturday,  July  31. 

J.  H.  Fleckenstine,  '12,  president  of  the  York  Bucknell  Club,  reports  fine  service  in  the  showing  of 
Bucknell  pictures.    He  reports,  also,  that  the  district  has  exceeded  its  goal  in  the  Birthday  Campaign. 

Lawrence  M.  Kimball,  '23,  president  of  Southern  New  Jersey  Alumni  Club,  reports  a  meeting,  fol- 
lowing the  big  Birthday  Dinner  in  Philadelphia  on  April  8,  for  election  of  officers.  An  excellent  list  of 
officers  promises  a  dinner  rally  in  the  early  fall. 

In  connection  with  reports  from  the  various  clubs  should  be  mentioned  the  numerous  enthusiastic 
banquets  which  are  a  part  of  the  Birthday  drive.  Meetings  have  been  held  or  are  being  held  in  Allen- 
town,  Altoona,  Baltimore,  Danville,  Harrisburg,  Hazleton,  Johnstown,  Lewisburg,  Milton,  Mount  Carmel, 
New  York  City,  Philadelphia,  Pittsburgh,  Reading,  Scranton,  Sunbury,  Trenton,  Uniontown,  Washington, 
Wilkes-Barre,  Williamsport,  Wilmington,  and  York.

Francis  F.  Reamer,  '21,  has  written,  saying  that  the  Bucknellians  want  a  charter  for  a  new  club  in 
Shamokin.  Shamokinites  have  always  belonged  to  the  Mount  Carmel  group,  but  numbers  and  unusual 
Bucknell  enthusiasm  have  led  them  to  request  a  charter  of  their  own.

CV/'OUR  association  has  recently  joined  the  "Col- 
JL  lege  Registration  Service."  This  is  a  new  di- 
vision of  the  Association  of  American  Colleges,  which 
has  set  up  some  40  centers  in  cities  located  near 
camps  where  our  men  and  women  in  the  service  are 
in  training.  These  Centers  are  now  established  all 
over  the  world  and  serve  as  a  meeting  place  for  col- 
lege boys  and  girls  who,  through  the  registration  sys- 
tem, come  in  contact  with  alumni  from  their  own 
college.  Bucknell  is  associated  with  120  of  the  lead- 
ing colleges  of  America  in  this  service. 

We  realize  that  it  is  becoming  more  and  more  diffi- 
cult for  the  local  alumni  associations  to  hold  regular 
meetings  but  it  is  more  important  than  ever  to  hold 
your  organization  together.  The  Harrisburg  Club 
has  done  an  outstanding  work  during  the  past  year 
with  a  meeting  every  month  with  many  prominent 
speakers  as  their  guests.  If  it  is  impossible  to  hold 
the  regular  dinner  meetings,  why  not  hold  group 
meetings  at  the  homes  of  various  alumni  and  sing 
the  old  Bucknell  songs  and  join  in  a  little  "Do  you 
remember?"  session. 

With  the  advent  of  the  Navy  Training  program 
on  our  campus,  it  is  a  wonderful  opportunity  for  the 
alumni,  faculty  and  others  to  make  each  and  every 
one  of  these  new  boys  feel  at  home  and  make  them 
a  real  part  of  Bucknell.  Let  us  "sell  'em  Bucknell." 
Then  when  they  leave  they  will  feel  that  they  are 
Bucknellians  and  they  will  be  boosters  for  B.  U.  and 
carry  good-will  to  the  four  corners  of  the  earth. 

Sincerely, 

W.  C.  Lowther, 

President,  General  Alumni  Assn.

(>^HE  College  Registration  Service,  with  head- 
er quarters  at  19  West  44th  Street,  New  York 
City,  has  provided  facilities  for  you  to  get  in  contact 
with  other  Bucknell  men  and  women. 

Go  to  the  Registration  Center  in  your  vicinity, 
register  and  then  look  over  the  list  of  registrants 
from  Alma  Mater. 

It  is  expected  that  one  or  more  Bucknellians  will 
take  the  lead  in  your  area,  and,  if  no  one  has  been 
assigned  to  that  function  in  your  center,  won't  you 
volunteer  or  suggest  names  of  others  in  the  area  who 
will  be  willing  to  take  the  initiative  in  getting  Buck- 
nell people  together. 

Bucknell  will  endeavor  to  keep  the  centers  sup- 
plied with  such  reading  matter  as  will  be  of  most  in- 
terest to  men  and  women  in  Service.  Suggestions  on 
this  will  be  thankfully  received  by  the  Alumni  Office.

10  ALL  fUM  BUDfllQi 


Lewisburg,  Pennsylvania,  June  10,  1943. 

f~~lF OR  several  years  I  have  been  working  on  the 
Jj  Centennial  Directory  with  almost  no  sugges- 
tions from  those  who  have  attended  Bucknell.  1  was 
surprised  at  the  lack  of  cooperation  for  I  have  known 
of  your  interest  in  our  Alma  Mater,  and  I  knew  you 
would  be  willing  to  comply  with  our  President's 
request  as  stated  in  the  attached  letter  to  you  from 
Dr.  Marts. 

Dear  Bucknellian:  March  10>  194°' 

We  have  appointed  Dr.  William  G.  Owens,  Professor  Emeritus 
of  Chemistry,  Bucknell  1S80,  as  chairman  of  a  committee  on  the 
Centennial  Alumni   Director)'  to  be  issued  in   1946. 

Won't  you  please  send  any  corrections  or  new  information,  in- 
cluding deaths,  that  you  may  have  about  Bucknellians  or  of  ac- 
quaintances to  Dr.  Owens,  for  his  use  in  making  the  Centennial 
Directory  the  most  comprehensive  and  accurate  Bucknell  has  ever 
issued. 

We  would  also  like,  in  connection  with  the  observance  of  the 
Centennial,  to  gather  all  pictures  of  the  early  days,  particularly  of 
members  of  the  faculty  and  other  pictures  of  general  interest.  If 
you  have  any  such  pictures  which  you  can  spare,  you  are  invited 
to  send  them  to  Dr.  Owens. 
Please  address  him: 

Dr.  William  G.  Owens, 

Chairman  of  the  Centennial  Directory  Committee, 
Bucknell  University, 
Lewisburg,  Pennsylvania. 
With  best  wishes, 

Yours  sincerely, 

Arnaud  C.  Marts. 

This  letter,  written  March  10,  1940,  was  to  have 
been  put  in  all  copies  of  "Your  College  Friends," 
issued  in  1940.  If  the  letter  was  not  in  your  copy, 
this  fact  explains  why  we  have  not  heard  from  you. 

If  you  have  pictures  of  instructors  or  scenes  of 
interest  that  you  no  longer  care  for,  kindly  send  them. 
Any  information  about  class,  Alma  Mater,  and 
friends  will  be  helpful.  If  you  wish,  we  will  copy 
them  and  return  the  originals. 

Kindly  let  us  hear  from  you  soon,  as  the  Centen- 
nial of  our  institution  will  shortly  be  celebrated. 
Yours  for  success, 

Wm.  G.  Owens.

Our  committees  have  enjoyed  performing  this  serv-

nellians than  we  have  ever  been  before." 

"I  want  you  to  point  out,  also,"  said  Jim,  "that 
by  giving  'A  Share'  you  may  not  be  giving  'Your 
Share.'  That  can  only  be  decided  by  the  size  of  the 
contribution  Bucknell  has  made  to  your  life  and  your 
fortune,  and  by  your  ability  to  pay  back  part  of  your 
obligation  to  Alma  Mater." 

The  executive  committee  of  Area  VII  met  on 
June  17  in  the  Orange  and  Blue  Room,  Hotel  Lewis- 
burger,  with  Area  Chairman  Professor  Frank  M. 
Simpson  and  enthusiastically  planned  the  "home" 
campaign.  Others  present  were:  Trustees  Berkeley 
V.  Hastings,  '13,  Dr.  Mary  Wolfe,  '96,  and  James  F. 
McClure,  '13.  Also  Harold  L.  Shimer,  '21,  Milton 
district  chairman,  and  Carl  L.  Millward,  '06,  co- 
chairman;  Philip  C.  Campbell,  '22,  Danville  chair- 
man, and  Willis  E.  Jones,  '39,  co-chairman;  Charles 
A.  Fryling,  '13,  Sunbury  district  chairman,  and  Lewis 
A.  Eyster,  '17,  co-chairman;  Kenneth  A.  Bidlack, 
'29,  representing  "West  County,"  and  Dayton  L. 
Ranck,  '16,  representing  the  University.  W.  J.  Bus- 
ser,  unavoidably  absent,  will  head  the  Union  County 
citizens  organization,  assisted  by  Harry  E.  Stein,  Mr. 
McClure,  Dr.  Wolfe  and  other  prominent  citizens. 

Dear  Alumnus: 

Within  the  past  year,  a  card  was  sent  to  you  ask- 
ing for  reports  on  address  changes,  accomplishments, 
promotions,  marriages,  births,  etc.  Hundreds  of 
these  have  been  returned  and  we  appreciate  your  fine 
cooperation. 

This  technique,  for  obvious  reasons,  cannot  be  re- 
peated frequently.  Therefore,  I  am  appealing  to 
you  to  keep  this  office  informed  by  letter  or  post  card 
of  every  newsworthy  thing  that  happens  to  you.  We 
are  anxious  to  keep  the  Alumni  Monthly  a  real 
news  magazine  of  interest  to  every  alumnus. 

If  you  were  looking  for  something  that  you  be- 
lieve should  have  appeared  in  this  number,  please  be 
patient.     Perhaps  it  will  appear  next  time. 

Ideas  for  the  improvement  of  the  Monthly  will 
be  gladly  received. 

Thank  you. 

Frank  G.  Davis,  '11, 
Acting  Alumni  Secretary.

LEWISBURG,  PENNA. 


September,   1943 


As  of  September  1,  the  One  Hundredth  Birthday  Gift  total  stood  at  $251,340.75,  with  $33,659.25 
to  raise  to  reach  the  $285,000  required.  Subscriptions  continue  to  come  in  daily  from  all  parts  of  the 
country. 

.  Further  subscriptions  should  be  mailed  to  Bucknell  Campaign,  Box  631,  Lewisburg,  Pa.     Payments

August  19,  1943 
To  Bucknellian  Workers  and  Givers: 

I  am  very  grateful  to  this  issue  for 
the  opportunity  to  congratulate  you 
on  the  big  job  which  Bucknellians  are 
doing  for  our  University,  both  as  giv- 
ers and  workers. 

To  date  you  have  produced  $251,340, 
including  Union  County's  $32,140, 
which  was  a  splendid  indication  of  the 
loyalty  of  the  County  for  the  "Uni- 
versity on  the  Hill". 

You  still  have  $33,659  to  produce  in 
order  to  attain  the  $285,000  which  will 
free  Bucknell  of  her  ball-and-chain 
inheritance.  I  am  certain  that  you 
will  do  the  job  for  President  Marts 
and  for  the  boys  and  girls  of  these 
and  future  years. 

I  want  to  add  my  personal  appre- 
ciation to  that  of  the  College  of  the 
splendid  production  of  the  entire  or- 
ganization of  over  600  "working  work- 
ers", and  particularly  to  General 
Chairman  Roy  G.  Bostwick,  '05,  and 
Alumni  Chairman  Edgar  A.  Snyder, 
'11,  whose  coats  have  been  off  con- 
tinuously throughout  the  many 
months  on  this  project.

"Church  of  the  Air" 
Features  Fahringer 

The  Rev.  Fred  Fahringer,  Sr.,  '15, 
chaplain  at  Fort  Oglethorpe,  Ga.,  will 
give  the  sermon  on  the  Columbia 
Broadcasting  System's  nationwide 
"Church  of  the  Air"  program  Sunday, 
September  19,  from  10:00  to  10:30 
A.  M.,  Eastern  War  Time. 

He  will  be  heard  by  special  request 
of  the  CBS  program  director  who 
heard  him  at  Fort  Oglethorpe  and  re- 
quested a  similar  service  for  the  Sep- 
tember 19  program,  which  will  be  in 
honor  of  the  WAC. 

No  doubt  two  men  in  the  armed 
forces  who  will  listen  with  interest 
are  "Johnnie",  '40,  star  actor,  and 
"Freddie",  '42,  equally  clever  in  ath- 
letics. 


Paul  Harding 


Harding  Wins 

notable  fllusic  Contest 


Paul  E.  Harding,  '23,  has  had  some 
difficulty  communicating  to  his  many 
friends  any  vivid  picture  of  just  how 
he  felt  when  a  voice  on  .the  telephone 
notified  him  that  he  had  topped  the 
field  in  a  big  music  appreciation  con- 
test and  had  been  awarded  the  first 
prize  of  $10,000.00.  "My  first  reaction," 
said  Mr.  Harding,  "was  a  feeling  of 
being  somewhat  stunned.  After  a  few 
days,  this  pradually  disappeared  and 
other  pleasant  feelings  replaced  it. 
The  principle  positive  reaction  was  a 
feeling  of  relief  from  debt." 

The  contest  in  which  he  participat- 
ed was  sponsored  by  the  Music  Appre- 
ciation Projects,  a  national  organiza- 
tion with  branches  in  the  principal 
cities  of  the  country.  There  were  35,- 
000  contestants.  Each  one  was  ex- 
pected to  solve  270  puzzles  of  the 
rebus  type  and  write  an  essay.    It  was

Congratulations  to  you  alumni  who 
so  loyally  and  unselfishly  have  con- 
tributed hard  work  and  subscriptions 
to  Bucknell's  Hundredth  Birthday 
Gift  fund.  You  now  have  the  great 
satisfaction  of  knowing  that  through 
your  efforts  and  sacrifices  the  full 
amount  of  the  General  Alumni  quota 
has  been  over  subscribed  by  eight  per 
cent.  We  who  had  faith  that  we  could 
do  this  and  then  did  it  were  always 
a  minority. 

Approximately  2,200  of  our  total 
alumni  group  of  about  9,600  perform- 
ed all  the  work  and  subscribed  all  the 
funds  to  raise  over  142,500,  which  was 
our  alumni  quota  of  the  debt.  Again 
we  prove  that  a  minority  is  a  potent, 
powerful  group  in  any  body,  politic 
or  civic.  Because  we  are  such  a  fine, 
effective  and  influential  group,  I  feel 
sure  that  many  more  alumni  will  want 
to  join  us!  We  are  somewhat  exclu- 
sive in  that  we  are  limited  to  a  min- 
ority membership  of  4,799— just  one 
less  than  half  the  number  of  total 
alumni — but  you  can  see  that  we 
have  room  for  about  2,599  more.  So 
why  not  hurry  and  join  us? 

It's  easy  to  join.  You  need  not 
even  bother  to  write  to  the  Alumni 
Office  for  a  pledge  card.  Just  take 
time  out  right  now  to  fill  out  a  check 
payable  to  Bucknell  University  for  any 
amount.  Ten  dollars,  twenty,  thir- 
ty, or  a  full  share — there  is  no  limita- 
tion either  low  or  high.  Or  simply 
write  a  letter  stating  how  much  you

THE  BUCKNELL  ALUMNI  MONTHLY 


September,  1943 


Football  Holds  Spotlight 
Luduuig  Assists  Sitarsky 


Sixty  years  ago  this  fall  Bucknell 
played  its  first  official  intercollegiate 
football  game,  and,  war  or  no  war, 
that  ancient  tradition  of  athletic  com- 
petition is  being  continued  this  fall. 
Football  will  remain  alive  at  Buck- 
nell in  1943  because  the  Navy  V-12 
training  program,  which  has  brought 
300  sailors  and  300  marines  to  the 
campus,  has  supplied  the  necessary 
manpower.  Of  the  50  men  on  the 
squad,  all  but  one  are  servicemen. 

Everything  is  new  at  Bucknell  this 
year — not  only  the  newly-installed 
V-12  training  unit,  but  also  the  coach- 
ing corps.  Head  Coach  Al  Humph- 
reys and  his  assistant,  S.  J.  (Bus) 
Blum,  who  led  the  Bisons  to  six  wins, 
two  losses  and  one  tie  in  1942,  are  now 
Navy  officers  at  the  Del  Monte,  Cal., 
pre-flight  school.  In  their  places  are 
John  J.  Sitarsky,  '36,  Bucknell's  first 
alumnus  coach  in  the  past  quarter- 
century,  and  his  aide,  Ellwood 
(Woody)  Ludwig,  one-time  University 
of  Pennsylvania  end,  who  has  been 
holding  the  gridiron  reins  at  Shamo- 
kin  High  School  the  past  four  sea- 
sons. 

It  will  not  be  a  complete  coaching 
turnover,  however,  because  as  fresh- 
man mentor  the  past  seven  years 
Sitarsky  has  learned  the  ropes  thor- 
oughly. He  has  had,  incidentally,  the 
experience  of  playing  under  his  last 
three  predecessors  as  Bucknell  coach 
— under  Al  Humphreys  at  Cook  Acad- 
emy, and  under  Carl  Snavely  and  E. 
E.  (Hooks)  Mylin  during  his  three 
playing  seasons  at   Bucknell. 

The  Bisons  will  probably  use  the 
same  system  of  play  as  they  employed 
last  year  under  Humphreys.  That  is, 
they  will  use  the  single-wing  and  T- 
formation  offenses,  changing  from  one 
to  the  other  as  the  situation  demands. 

Although  the  V-12  assignments 
have  brought  the  Thundering  Herd 
football  men  with  previous  experience 
at  nearly  a  score  of  colleges,  the  nu- 
cleus of  the  squad  is  likely  to  be  a 
little  group  of  five  lettermen  from 
last  year's  Bison  array.  They  are 
headed  by  the  co-captains,  Marine 
Private  Walter  Szot  and  Apprentice 
Seaman  Gene  Matthews,  who  play 
alongside  each  other  at  tackle  and 
end,  respectively. 

Other  lettermen  returning  from 
last  year's  eleven  include  three  sea- 
soned fullbacks:  Elting  (Red)  John- 
son, Carroll  Murray  and  Ray  Tyler. 
Then,  too,  Guards  Felix  Cristoforo 
and  Bill  Bontempi  and  Halfback  Ralph 
Grant  saw  considerable  service  with 
the  Bisons  a  year  ago. 

One  of  these  holdovers,  Johnson, 
was  the  Herd's  leading  scorer  in  1942, 
excelling  in  line-plunging  and  place- 
kicking.  Szot  was  acclaimed  by  Coach 
Humphreys  as  equal  to  the  best  col- 
legiate tackles  he  had  seen.  Rugged 
and  shrewd,  he  is  a  master  at  break- 
ing up  opponents'  plays. 

Temple  University  and  Manhattan 
College    have   supplied    sizeable    rein-

forcements  to  the  Bison  squad.  From 
Temple  have  come  Quarterback  Gene 
Hubka,  an  alert  field  general  and 
precision  passer;  Right  Halfback 
Louis  Buckwalter  and  End  Bill  John- 
ston. 

The  Manhattan  contingent  is  head- 
ed by  Jim  Worst,  the  Jaspers'  captain- 
elect  and  a  bang-up  end.  It  also  in- 
cludes Mike  Kostynick,  a  chunky  but 
slick  left  halfback,  End  Andy  Murphy 
and  Tackle  Henry  Furio. 

Other  front-running  varsity  con- 
tenders include  Center  Peter  Cal- 
cagno,  from  Panzer  College  in  New 
Jersey  which  specializes  in  producing 
physical  education  experts;  Kenneth 
Schuster,  195-pound  guard  from 
Hampden-Sydney;  Jerome  Schwartz, 
203-pound  guard  from  Alfred  College; 
Dick  Hoffman,  200-pound  left  half- 
back who  played  at  Indiana  State 
Teachers  College;  Joe  Brody,  end  from 
Pitt,  and  John  Hewson,  six-feet  six 
end  from  Muhlenberg. 

With  this  wealth  of  material,  how- 
ever, the  chief  drawback  has  been  the 
inability  of  the  Bison  coaches  to  work 
with  their  players  more  than  a  half 
hour  daily.  Most  of  the  players  are 
taking  engineering  or  technical 
courses  which  keep  them  in  class  or 
laboratory  until  5:30  P.  M.  Practice 
must  be  over  by  6:15,  which  means 
Sitarsky  and  Ludwig  are  pressed  for 
time.  Restrictions  placed  upon  the 
Navy  trainees  as  soon  as  they  fall  be- 
hind in  academic  work  have  also  cut 
down  the  size  of  the  squad  from  time 
to  time. 


CAMPAIGN  DIRECTOR 

I  Continued    from  Page    One) 

You  all  have  my  sincere  thanks  for 
the  heartiest  cooperation  and  most 
pleasant  relationships  in  my  experi- 
ence in  63  campaigns. 

Almost  everyone  "followed  pro- 
gram" and,  on  many  occasions,  im- 
proved on  it.  Your  winning  spirit 
carried  all  before  it. 

Subscriptions  are  coming  in  from 
all  sides.  One  to-day  said  "I  am  sorry 
it  can't  be  more.  God  bless  your  ef- 
forts". 

Let  us  rejoice  in  success  to  date 
and  let  us,  as  well,  realize  our  pecu- 
liar responsibility  for  complete  suc- 
cess. One  of  the  high  spots  has  been 
the  accumulation  o  f  subscriptions 
from  men  in  the  armed  services,  many 
of  which  were  sent  without  benefit 
of  solicitation. 

It  has  been  a  great  pleasure  to 
serve  you. 

Sincerely  yours,

Dear  Alumnus: 

On  the  inside  cover  of  the  last 
Alumni  Monthly  a  request  was  made 
by  President  Marts  that  pictures  and 
incidents  of  your  college  days  be  sent 
for  the  Birthday  Directory. 

Two  replies  have  been  received. 
One  offered  suggestions  for  the  di- 
rectory. The  other  contained  two 
pictures  and  several  incidents.  One,  in 
the  70's,  when  the  students  delighted 
in  ducking  each  other,  told  of  the  sur- 
prize a  staid  professor  had  when,  as 
he  entered  the  West  Wing  door,  he 
got  a  bucket  of  water  on  his  head. 
When  the  student  discovered  his  mis- 
take, he  also  was  surprised.  The  let- 
ter relating  this  incident  contained  a 
$100.00  check. 

Many  letters  have  been  received  in 
the  last  few  years  telling  of  the  af- 
fection old  students  feel  for  Bucknell. 
Would  you  like  to  see  Bucknell  folk- 
lore preserved?  Cooperation  proves 
loyalty.     Money  talks. 

Sincerely  yours,

Latin-American  Education 
at 


Alumni  living  within  commuting 
distance  from  Bucknell  will  save  their 
gasoline  coupons  this  month  for  an 
unusual  event.  On  October  first  they 
will  be  privileged  to  attend  the  annual 
Bucknell  Conference  on  Education. 
But  this  year  it  will  be  different.  It 
will  deal  strictly  with  education  in  the 
Latin-American  Nations.  This  year, 
as  always,  there  will  be  two  large 
general  sessions,  at  2:00  P.  M.  and 
7:45  P.  M.,  and  group  meetings  at 
4:00  P.  M.  However,  this  year  the 
group  meetings  will  be  reduced  to 
three  instead  of  the  dozen  or  more 
always  held  heretofore.  Elementary 
education,  secondary  education  and 
higher  education  will  be  the  subjects 
discussed. 

Speakers  already  engaged  as  this 
sheet  goes  to  press  are  Dr.  John  C. 
Patterson,  Specialist  in  Inter-Ameri- 
can Educational  Relations,  U.  S.  Office 
of  Education;  Dr.  Francisco  Cespides, 
Educational  Assistant,  Pan  American 
Union;  Margarida  Reno,  Portugese 
Translator,  U.  S.  Department  of  State; 
Dr.  Hubert  Herring,  Director,  Com- 
mittee on  Cultural  Relations  with  La- 
^tin-America;  and  Madame  Olga  Coel- 
ho,  celebrated  Brazilian  soprano  and 
guitarist.  A  number  of  additional  ed- 
ucational specialists  are  expected  to 
be  present. 

On  Saturday.  October  2,  a  number 
of  these  speakers  and  several  Latin- 
American  students  will  speak  in  Uni- 
versity classes.  Saturday  evening 
they  will  be  received  at  a  Latin- 
American  social  affair. 


PAUL  HARDING  WINS 

(Continued    from  Page    One) 

the  essay  which  won  the  contest,  since 
many  others  had  solved  all  the  puz- 
zles correctly.  Harding  says,  "I  am 
sorry  I  can't  credit  the  winning  es- 
say to  the  excellent  training  I  receiv- 
ed in  theme-writing  from  our  good 
friend,  Charlie  Fries,  but  I  am  afraid 
that  too  much  water  has  passed  over 
the  dam  since  that  time.  However,  I 
stilt  recall  how  I  sweat  over  those 
themes." 

Mr.  Harding  is  director  of  instru- 
mental music  in  the  Washington, 
Pennsylvania,  High  School.  Since 
leaving  Bucknell,  he  has  attended  the 
University  of  Cincinnati  and  the  Cin- 
cinnati College  of  Music.  He  has  also 
received  the  degree  of  Master  of 
Science  in  Education  from  Pennsyl- 
vania State  College.  He  has  taught 
at  Perm  State  Summer  Sessions,  or- 
ganized and  conducted  bands  and  or- 
chestras at  Washington  and  Jeffer- 
son College,  and  served  as  critic,  guest 
conductor,  and  judge  of  music  events 
in  the  southwestern  part  of  Pennsyl- 
vania. He  is  married  to  Ruth  A. 
Smith,  x  '24,  and  has  two  children, 
Ruth  Ann  and  Paul. 


College  Registration 

Service  Is  Discontinued 


Just  as  the  Bucknell  Alumni  were 
offering  to  assist  with  the  College  Re- 
gistration Service  in  response  to  the 
invitation  in  the  June  issue  of  the 
Alumni  Monthly  along  came  an  order 
that  the  'organization  be  disbanded 
because  of  possible  hazards  to  the 
security  of  our  Armed  Forces. 

Dr.  Guy  E.  Snavely,  Executive  Sec- 
retary of  the  Association  of  American 
Colleges,  writes: 

"College  Registration  Service  was 
launched  with  approval  of  high  rank- 
ing officials  of  the  War  Department. 
In  many  centers,  over  a  period  of 
months,  the  commanding  officers  ac- 
tively aided  the  establishment  of  the 
service.  But  a  few  weeks  ago  the 
commanding  officers  in  four  districts 
disapproved  of  the  service,  indicating 
that  the  College  Registration  Service 
might  give  aid  and  comfort  to  the 
enemy,  which  more  than  offset  the 
uplift  in  morale  given  the  men  in  the 
forces.  The  opposition  to  the  service 
developed  in  New  Orleans,  Norfolk, 
Denver,  and  Atlanta." 

Dr.  Snavely  communicated  with  the 
War  Department  and  found  the  high 
officials  holding  the  opinion  voiced  by 
the  commanding  officers  mentioned 
above.  Therefore,  the  Association  of 
American  Colleges  is  bowing  out  of 
the  picture  and  taking  the  College  Re- 
gistration Service  along.  The  idea 
seemed  good  to  alumni  secretaries, 
but  they  would  be  the  last  to  ask  for 
opportunities  for  service  if  thereby  the 
life  of  even  a  single  man  in  uniform 
might  be  jeopardized. 


V-12  Students 
Purchase  War  Bonds 


Because  they  have  achieved  a  100% 
record  in  setting  aside  money  from 
their  pay  for  the  purchase  of  war 
bonds,  the  Bucknell  University  Navy 
V-12  students  have  qualified  to  fly  the 
Commandant's  War  Bond  Pennant. 
Lieut.  Miles  Lilly  represented  the 
Commandant  of  the  Fourth  Naval 
District,  and  presented  the  pennant  to 
Lt.  Commander  J.  E.  Fleming,  com- 
manding officer  of  the  Bucknell  unit, 
while  the  600  sailors  and  marines 
stood  at  attention.  Bucknell's  V-12 
men  are  setting  aside  an  average  of 
28.3%  of  their  pay  for  the  purchase  of 
var  bonds. 

Ensign  Eleanor  Parry,  '42,  is  dis- 
bursing officer  for  the  Navy  V-12 
unit. 


Recognition 


A  late  letter  from  M.  Beatrice  Met- 
tler,  '25,  of  Bloomsburg  State  Teach- 
ers College,  asks  that  her  Birthday 
Gift  be  listed,  "In  memory  of  Dr. 
and   Mrs.  Charles  A.  Lindemann."

Harrisburg  Club 
Opens  Season  Sept.  2 

The  Harrisburg  Bucknell  Alumni 
Club  opened  the  season  with  a  rous- 
ing meeting  at  the  Y.M.C.A.  on  Thurs- 
day evening,  September  2.  President 
Walter  B.  Shaw  was  on  his  vacation 
but  had  made  complete  arrangements 
for  his  efficient  vice  president,  Frank- 
lin Figner,  '33,  to  manage  the  pro- 
gram. Frank  G.  Davis,  '11,  Acting 
Alumni  Secretary,  brought  a  message 
from  the  campus  and  showed  pictures 
of  the  1943  Lafayette  and  Gettysburg 
football  games,  both  of  which,  alumni 
will  recall,  were  Bucknell  Victories. 

The  club  is  starting  out  with  fine 
momentum  and  expects  to  have  an 
enthusiastic  meeting  the  first  Thurs- 
day of  every  month  throughout  the 
year. 


Association  of  Bucknell  Women  of 
Pittsburgh  held  first  meeting,  Septem-

tive of  Winfield,  Pennsylvania,  form- 
ally took  over  the  post  of  Principal  of 
the  William  Penn  High  School  re- 
cently. DeWire  has  been  a  tower  of 
strength  in  the  Birthday  Campaign  in 
the  Susquehanna  Valley,  speaking  at 
banquets  in  Williamsport,  Sunbury, 
Milton,  and  Harrisburg.

ident of  the  Irving  Trust  Company  of 
New  York  City.  He  formerly  held 
the  position  of  Assistant  Secretary. 
He  has  been  affiliated  with  the  com- 
pany in  its  Woolworth  Building  head- 
quarters since  the  summer  of  1928.  He 
has  been  an  officer  since  1939.

Have  You  Heard  This? 

Brigadier  General  Henry  C.  Wolfe, 
'16,  has  been  honored  recently  by  be- 
ing made  a  member  of  the  Legion  of 
Merit  for  the  outstanding  service  he 
rendered  in  landing  his  troops  sajfely 
in  Africa.  He  was  in  charge  of  a 
large  convoy  sailing  out  of  New  York 
for  Africa  in  the  spring.  At  present, 
he  is  in  the  Amphibian  Division  in  Af- 
rica.

On  page  46  of  Time  Magazine  for 
August  30,  1943,  is  the  following  para- 
graph: "The  man  who  had  the  un- 
enviable job  of  deciding  who  should 
and  who  should  not  get  penicillin  was 
Dr.  Chester  S.  Keefer,  of  Boston's 
Evans  Hospital.  He  is  chairman  of 
the  National  Research  Council's  com- 
mittee on  chemical  therapy,  to  which 
WPB  turned  over  the  rationing  of 
the  drug.  Because  it  is  especially  ef- 
fective in  treating  battle-wound  in- 
fections, most  of  the  meager  supply 
(amount:  a  military  secret)  goes  to 
the  armed  forces." 

Reference  was  made  to  the  mar- 
velous new  drug,  penicillin,  which  had 
been  potently  publicized  when  the 
New  York  Journal-American  persuad- 
ed a  WPB  official  to  release  enough 
of  the  remedy  to  save  the  life  of  a 
child  stricken  with  a  staphylococcus 
blood  infection. 

Dr.  Keefer  is  one  of  the  leading 
scientists  in  the  field  of  penicillin 
treatments.  Incidentally  he  is  a  grad- 
uate of  Bucknell  in  the  class  of  1918.

Reynolds  Packard,  '26,  has  been  ap- 
pointed as  United  Press  manager  for 
North  Africa.  He  is  to  re-open  the 
Rome  bureau  as  soon  as  possible.  He 
has  been  in  North  Africa,  helping  to 
direct  the  United  Press  coverage  of 
the  Sicilian  invasion.

Shelving  Promised  for 
Alumni  Publications 


For  a  number  of  years  the  Alumni 
Office  has  housed  a  library  of  books 
written  by  Bucknellians.  The  collec- 
tion is  incomplete  and  the  shelves  need 
to  be  replaced  by  better  ones.  Every 
alumnus  who  has  published  a  book  or 
pamphlet  during  the  past  decade  will 
confer  a  distinct  favor  on  the  Alumni 
Association  by  seeing  that  a  copy  is 
on  exhibit.  More  attractive  shelving 
has  been  promised  by  a  loyal  alumnus, 
Professor  Frank  E.  Burpee,  '01.

will  give  and  what  dates  you  will 
make  payment  and  mail  it  to  the  Cam- 
paign Office,  Box  631,  Lewisburg,  for 
the  Birthday  F'und.  It  is  your  appli- 
cation to  join  the  select  minority 
group  and  your  application  will  be  ap- 
proved. You  will  be  one  of  us  and 
you  will  be  very  welcome. 

Although  our  alumni  quota  is  sub- 
scribed, we  still  need  some  $34,000  or 
more,  or  340  Shares,  to  fully  cover 
the  entire  debt.  Surely  there  are  2,- 
599  more  alumni  who  can  afford  to 
invest  something  in  Bucknell.  Even 
Twenty-five  Dollars  from  each  of  2,- 
599  alumni  who  so  far  have  not  con- 
tributed will  more  than  complete  the 
fund  and  give  Mother  Bucknell  a  bit 
extra  to  invest  in  a  little  new  "finery" 
for  her  celebration. 

As  one  of  the  National  Alumni  Co- 
Chairman  for  the  campaign  may  I 
congratulate  you  on  behalf  of  Buck- 
nell for  a  job  done  but  may  I  also 
;ask  your  earnest  consideration  of  my 
plea"  for  continued  help  in  additional 
subscriptions  and  prompt  payment  of 
pledges  when  due  until  the  entire  debt 
has  been  liquidated.  Let's  make  cer-. 
tain  that  on  that  Birthday  celebration 
in  1946  we  will  witness  a  bonfire  of 
$285,000  worth  of  well-aged,  crinkly 
oaid  off  notes.  We  must  start  Buck- 
nell on  a  new  era  on  that  day,  free  of 
debt  ana  full  of  enthusiasm  and  en- 
ergy for  her  second  century  of  ser- 
vice.

BUCKNELL 


fnttwvwu,  (TV 


x.eite>i  riom  the  President 


November  12,  1943. 
Dear  Bucknellians: 

Another  semester  has  just  opened  with  the  largest  num- 
ber of  students  ever  on  the  campus  at  a  given  time — 1345.  It 
is  the  first  time  in  Bucknell's  history  that  a  semester  has 
opened  on  November  first.  Precedents  as  to  dates  and  num- 
bers are  being  broken,  but  the  traditional  Bucknell  spirit 
carries  on.  Civilian  students  and  Navy  and  Marine  trainees 
sit  side-by-side  in  the  classroom,  most  of  them  with  a  com- 
mon loyalty  and  enthusiasm  for  the  Bucknell  tradition. 

Thirteen  Bucknell  men  have  given  their  lives  thus  far  in  this  war.  Reports  of  Bucknell 
heroism  come  to  us  from  far  and  near.  The  record  which  Bucknellians  are  making  in  this 
war  will  be  no  less  honorable  than  the  record  of  patriotism  and  courage  which  previous 
Bucknell  generations  have  left  behind  on  our  campus. 

May  every  Bucknellian  do  his  or  her  utmost  in  the  service  of  America  during  this  war. 
And  may  every  Bucknellian,  also,  do  his  or  her  part  in  the  great  job  that  must  be  done  after 
victory,  in  establishing  sensible  and  effective  methods  of  international  cooperation  which  will 
bring  peace  to  mankind.  The  mind  and  spirit  of  our  generation  must  grapple  with  this 
supreme  problem. 

Use  the  mind  and  spirit  which  Bucknell  helped  to  develop  in  you — won't  you? — to  help 
poor  bewildered  and  frustrated  mankind  find  its  way  after  this  war  to  an  era  of  freedom  and 
peace  and  good  will! 

My  kindest  regards  to  each  and  all  of  you.

THE  GENERAL  ALUMNI  ASSOCIATION  OF  BUCKNELL  UNIVERSITY

/^T)  UCKNELLIANS  coming  back  to  the  campus  in 
J-J  November  of  this  year  see  the  same  old  place 
with  just  a  few  changes.  One  of  the  changes  is  that 
the  first  "semester,"  now  called  a  "term,"  began  on 
November  1.  At  that  time  the  football  season  was 
about  half  done  and  many  of  the  team  members  who 
played  early  in  the  season  were  leaving  for  other 
parts  and  new  ones  were  taking  their  places.  But  all 
this  is  treated  in  Bob  Streeter's  article.  One  interest- 
ing fact  might  be  that  the  Christmas  vacation  has 
been  cut  to  six  days. 

Of  course,  we  have  a  liberal  sprinkling  of  Navy 
and  Marine  Corps  uniforms  about  the  campus — 561 
of  them,  to  be  exact,  in  addition  to  those  of  the 
Ship's  Company.  The  V-12  program  has  ceased  to 
be  a  novelty.  At  first  the  snappy  step,  the  listening 
without  back  talk  when  a  tough  sergeant  told  a 
sailor  or  marine  his  faults  and  perhaps  reminded  him 
not  too  gently  to  stand  closer  to  his  —  —  razor 
the  next  time  he  shaved,  the  staying  in  at  night  for 
purposes  of  education — these  and  many  other  small 
items  made  things  seem  a  bit  strange.  But  people 
soon  get  used  to  the  novel  and  it  becomes  the  com- 
monplace. Relations  between  the  service  men  and 
the  civilians  are  cordial  and  the  staff  members  asso- 
ciate pleasantly  with  the  Bucknell  faculty.  If  anyone 
predicted  that  the  program  would  not  be  a  harmon- 
ious one,  he  is  due  for  a  second  guess. 

Highlight  of  the  V-12  residence  here  was  October 
23,  when  Admiral  Jacobs,  Chief  of  Naval  Personnel, 
reviewed  the  program  and  called  it  excellent.  Inter- 
esting and  educational  was  the  recent  address  by 
Lieutenant  Commander  Fleming  before  a  large  meet- 
ing of  the  Susquehanna  Valley  Association  of  Uni- 
versity Women,  when  he  discussed  the  tremendous 
growth  and  significance  of  the  U.  S.  Navy  and 
explained  the  V-12  program. 

The  impact  of  the  war  on  Bucknell's  attendance  is 
indicated  by  the  student  population  this  term,  which 
is  1345 — four  more  than  ever  attended  Bucknell  be- 
fore. Of  these,  561  are  V-12  trainees  and  the  re- 
mainder civilians — 578  women  and  206  men  not  in 
uniform.  Many  of  these  men  are  already  registered 
in  essential  courses  and  a  considerable  number  have 
not  yet  reached  the  age  of  18.  Student  activities, 
while  curtailed  to  some  degree,  are  going  on  as 
vigorously  as  could  be  expected  in  a  period  when 
winning  the  war  is  our  biggest  job.

A  REPLY  to  a  recent  communication  to  Dwite 
^/J-  Schaffner,  '15,  indicates  that  he  is  back  in  the 
Army,  located  in  Tennessee  at  the  state  headquarters 
of  the  Selective  Service  System.  It  is  an  interesting 
coincidence  that  Dwite  is  in  the  home  state  of  Ser- 
geant York,  the  great  World  War  I  hero,  for  he 
came  near  to  duplicating  York's  heroic  feat  during 
the  First  World  War. 

Schaffner  is  probably  best  remembered  as  the  only 
Bucknellian  who  was  awarded  the  Congressional 
Medal  of  Honor  and  the  Distinguished  Service  Cross 
in  the  last  war.  This  decoration  was  given  to  only 
93  of  the  millions  of  men  engaged  at  that  time.  The 
occasion  of  the  conferring  of  the  honor  is  remem- 
bered in  Akron,  Ohio,  where  he  was  a  practicing 
lawyer,  by  the  declaration  by  the  city  authorities  of 
a  half  holiday  in  celebration  of  the  event.  He  earned 
this  distinction  when,  as  a  captain  in  France,  he  cap- 
tured a  height  dominated  by  a  machine-gun  nest, 
which  he  took  almost  singlehanded,  killing  the  com- 
mander with  his  own  revolver  but  getting  invaluable 
strategic  information  from  him  before  his  demise. 

But  Schaffner  is  remembered  by  Bucknellians,  also, 
as  one  of  the  best  football  centers  ever  to  play  here, 
where  he  held  down  that  position  for  four  years, 
being  captain  one  year.  He  played  four  years  of 
basketball  and  was  captain  half  of  that  time.  In

Mrs.  Stevens  Today  and  in  1858 


BUCHIlfLL  flLUmnfl,  C£LEBfiflT€S  1 02nd 


WOVEMBER  24,  1943,  was  a  memorable  day 
for  Harriet  Mason  Stevens,  for  on  that  day 
she  became  102  years  old.  It  was  a  notable  day  for 
Bucknell,  too,  for  Mrs.  Stevens  is  a  woman  who  has 
brought  fame  to  Bucknell  as  its  oldest  alumnus  and 
also  as  one  who  performed  a  notable  literary  feat. 
As  a  child  and  during  her  forty-five  years  as  the  wife 
of  a  missionary  in  Burma,  she  learned  the  Burmese 
language.  That  is  something  that  would  naturally 
be  expected  of  her;  but  few  would  expect  a  mother 
of  seven  children  to  engage  in  the  translation  of  the 
Bible  into  Burmese.  This  project,  started  in  Burma, 
she  finished  after  her  return  to  America  in  1911-  In 
addition,  she  completed  a  voluminous  list  of  refer- 
ences in  Burmese.  Today  at  the  age  of  102,  she  reads 
at  least  a  chapter  daily  in  her  Burmese  translation. 
Harriet  Calista  Mason  was  born  in  Tavoy,  Burma, 
on  November  24,  1841.  She  came  to  Bucknell  from 
Newton  Center,  Massachusetts,  where  her  father  was

DEATH  CALLS  BELOVED  TRUSTEE 

0N  OCTOBER  3,  1943,  was  completed  the 
career  of  Dr.  George  T.  Ladd,  Bucknell  Trus- 
tee and  benefactor,  in  whose  honor  the  Bucknell 
Mechanical  Engineering  Department  has  been  named 
the  George  T.  Ladd  Department  of  Mechanical  En- 
gineering. In  announcing  the  naming  of  this  depart- 
ment, President  Arnaud  C.  Marts  said,  "We  are 
proud  to  have  our  engineering  instruction  at  Buck- 
nell associated  with  the  career  of  one  of  the  truly 
great  industrial  engineers  and  organizers  of  our  gen- 
eration. Mr.  Ladd's  extreme  personal  modesty  has 
prevented  a  general  appreciation  of  his  achievements 
in  our  modern  industrial  life.  It  is  our  hope  that  by 
associating  his  name  with  our  Department  of 
Mechanical  Engineering  a  small  fraction  of  the  pub- 
lic recognition  which  he  has  earned  will  be  directed 
toward  his  achievements  and,  if  this  association  will 
help  to  inspire  only  one  young  engineering  student  in 
each  generation  to  follow  his  example  in  scientific 
achievement,  the  result  will  be  a  very  great  service 
to  American  progress." 

Dr.  Ladd,  the  son  of  a  Congregational  minister, 
who  later  achieved  renown  as  a  professor  at  Yale 
and  the  writer  of  numerous  books,  started  life  with 
considerable  intellectual  and  cultural  momentum. 
He  was  graduated  from  the  Sheffield  Scientific 
School  at  Yale  in  1891,  and  received  the  degree  of 
Mechanical  Engineer  from  Cornell  University  in 
1895.  His  career  was  one  of  rapid  growth  in  a  num- 
ber of  organizations  and  for  the  last  fifteen  years  of 
his  life  he  had  been  President  and  General  Manager 
of  the  United  Engineering  and  Foundry  Company  of 
Pittsburgh.

DR.  CHESTER  SCOH  HEEFER/18, 

DOLES  001  PRECIOUS  PBIICILLIO 

(7°H£  September  issue  of  the  Alumni  Month- 
i^y  lv  contained  a  brief  statement  concerning  the 
work  Dr.  Chester  S.  Keefer  is  doing  in  connection 
with  the  astounding  drug,  penicillin.  We  quote  part 
of  that  statement:  "On  page  46  of  Time  Magazine 
for  August  30,  1943,  is  the  following  paragraph: 
'The  man  who  had  the  unenviable  job  of  deciding 
who  should  and  who  should  not  get  penicillin  was 
Dr.  Chester  S.  Keefer  of  Boston's  Evans  Hospital. 
He  is  chairman  of  the  National  Research  Council's 
committee  on  chemical  therapy,  to  which  WPB 
turned  over  the  rationing  of  the  drug.  Because  it  is 
especially  effective  in  treating  battle-wound  infec- 
tions, most  of  the  meager  supply  (amount  a  military 
secret)  goes  to  the  armed  forces.'  " 

Since  publication  of  the  above  statement,  Dr. 
Keefer  has  received  much  news  and  editorial  atten- 
tion for  his  notable  accomplishments  in  this  connec- 
tion. Therefore,  it  will  be  appropriate  for  the 
Alumni  to  know  something  of  his  attainments  since 
his  graduation  from  Bucknell.  They  will  be  men- 
tioned only  in  large  outline. 

Since  he  received  the  degree  of  M.D.  from  Johns 
Hopkins  in  1922,  he  has  held  many  important  posi- 
tions. Only  a  few  which  relate  to  his  teaching  ex- 
perience are  listed  below: 

1926-28,  Instructor  in  Medicine,  University  of  Chicago 
1928-30,  Associate     Professor     of     Medicine,     Peiping 

Union  Medical  College,  Peiping,  China 
1930-36,  Assistant  Professor  of  Medicine,  Harvard  Med- 
ical School 

1936-40,  Associate  Professor  of  Medicine,  Harvard  Med- 
ical School 

1940-  ,  Wade  Professor  of  Medicine,  Boston  Univer- 
sity School  of  Medicine 

1940-  ,  Director,  Robert  Dawson  Evans  Memorial, 
Massachusetts  Memorial  Hospital 

1940-  ,  Physician-in-Chief,  Massachusetts  Memorial 
Hospital 

1940-  ,  Consulting  Physician,  Thorndike  Memorial 
Laboratory,  Boston  City  Hospital. 

Space  does  not  permit  the  naming  of  the  eleven 
learned  medical  societies  of  which  he  is  a  member, 
nor  is  it  possible  to  name  the  27  important  appoint- 
ments in  addition  to  those  mentioned  above.  For  the 
same  reason  it  is  impossible  to  list  a  bibliography  of 
the  160  scientific  papers  he  has  published  since  he 
entered  the  profession  21  years  ago. 

Bucknell  and  the  Alumni  Association  are  proud 
that  a  Bucknellian  has  made  such  important  contri- 
butions to  the  welfare  of  his  fellow  men. 


ED  PUBH  fl  HERO  10  THE 


EDWARD  W.  PANGBURN,  '15,  is  48  years  old, 
{J)  the  age  when  men  are  expected  to  slow  up  on 
their  athletic  activities.  Furthermore,  since  graduat- 
ing from  medical  school  he  has  been  a  surgeon,  a 
job  which  requires  a  steady  nerve  but  does  not 
demand  strenuous  physical  exercise.  However,  Ed 
must  have  been  taking  systematic  preparation  for 
violent  activities  or  he  would  not  have  been  able  to 
speak  at  the  Bucknell  Convocation  on  November  10 
apparently  in  top  condition. 

The  basis  of  the  above  statement  is  the  fact  that 
during  the  invasion  activities  in  the  Mediterranean 
he  performed  a  feat  the  story  of  which  will  long  re- 
main in  the  archives  of  Bucknell  and  of  the  U.  S. 
Navy  as  a  tale  worth  telling.  While  at  mess  on  his 
ship,  word  came  that  two  paratroopers  had  landed 
some  miles  away  and  one  had  been  seriously  injured. 
The  other,  requisitioning  a  horse  from  a  native,  had 
come  to  the  beach  and  requested  medical  aid.  Dr. 
Pangburn  responded  to  the  call.  He  and  the  para- 
trooper, along  with  a  pharmacist's  mate,  boarded  a 
landing  barge  in  charge  of  a  coxswain  and  seven  sea- 
men. They  reached  a  spot  where  the  paratrooper 
could  point  out  the  location  of  his  buddy  but  they 
were  three  hundred  yards  from  the  shore  and  on 
account  of  the  size  of  the  barge  and  the  height  of 
the  waves  were  not  able  to  approach  any  closer. 
Thus  the  only  method  of  reaching  the  wounded  man 
was  by  swimming. 

Lieutenant  Commander  Pangburn,  the  paratrooper 


and  the  pharmacist's  mate  stripped  and  plunged  into 
the  rough  sea,  Dr.  Pangburn  holding  by  his  teeth  his 
medicine  case  weighing  a  half  dozen  pounds.  The 
going  was  tough  and  he  lost  track  of  the  pharmacist's 
mate.  The  paratrooper  sank  out  of  sight  and  Ed  had 
to  dive  twice  for  him  before  bringing  him  to  the  sur- 
face. Then,  with  the  exhausted  'trooper  clinging  to 
his  neck,  he  battled  his  way  to  the  shore  to  find  the 
pharmacist's  mate  already  lying  on  the  sand.  They 
lay  there  a  half  hour  to  recover  from  their  exhaustion 
and  then  hurried  to  the  spot  where  the  bruised  and 
bleeding  paratrooper  lay  in  severe  pain,  not  only  be- 
cause of  his  battered  condition  but  from  a  stran- 
gulated hernia.  Dr.  Pangburn  performed  an  emer- 
gency operation  without  benefit  of  anaesthetic  of  any 
kind,  laid  the  man  on  an  old  door  and  the  door  on 
the  back  of  a  mule,  and  sent  him  some  six  miles  to 
an  emergency  hospital  for  treatment.    He  recovered. 

Dr.  Pangburn  and  the  pharmacist's  mate  swam 
back  to  the  landing  barge.  An  hour  later  he  was 
seized  with  severe  abdominal  pains  and  was  rushed 
to  a  hospital.  It  was  thought  at  the  time  that  his 
heart  was  affected.  However,  after  a  month  in  the 
hospital  in  the  Mediterranean  area  and  another 
month  in  a  naval  hospital  in  the  United  States,  he 
was  sent  back  to  his  family  in  Philadelphia  appar- 
ently in  excellent  condition.  He  is  now  serving  in 
the  Philadelphia  Navy  Yard  and  expecting  orders 
any  day  to  go  back  to  the  front. 

Bucknell  rejoices  that  Ed  Pangburn  had  the  stam- 
ina to  survive  this  courageous  act.  He  is  one  of  her 
most  loyal  alumni.  He  is  donor  of  the  Pangburn 
Trophy  for  Excellence  in  Scholarship  among  the 
Fraternities.  Evidences  of  his  love  for  Bucknell 
would  make  too  long  a  list  to  set  down  here.  Suffice 
it  to  say  that  the  Alumni  elected  him  a  Bucknell 
Trustee  in  1942.  When  Old  Main  burned,  Ed  was 
President  of  the  General  Alumni  Association.  In  an 
Alumni  Monthly  of  that  time  we  have  discovered 
his  letter  to  the  Alumni  in  which  the  concluding 
paragraph  ran  as  follows:  "Ask  yourself  one  ques- 
tion: Am  I  a  credit  to  Bucknell?  Be  proud  of  your 
school;  live  so  she  will  be  proud  of  you."  Certainly 
Ed  Pangburn  has  followed  his  own  advice.

SUBJECT  Of  CHUMS' 


12, 

BULLETin 


PTANLEY  DA  VIES  is  the  subject  of  a  very 
QJ  pleasant  criticism  by  Clare  M.  Tousley,  editor 
of  the  Community  Service  Society  Bulletin.  In  an 
edition  not  O.K.'d  by  Dr.  Davies,  who  is  executive 
director  of  the  Society,  Miss  Tousley  tousles  her  hair 
rather  completely  in  her  discussion  of  what  the  So- 
ciety thinks  of  him.  The  occasion  of  the  special  edi- 
tion is  the  tenth  anniversary  of  his  assignment  to  this 
important  post. 

She  tells  of  his  birth  in  Philadelphia  in  1892  of 
Welsh  parentage,  of  his  careers  at  Bucknell  and  at 
Columbia  University.  Deeply  interested  in  sociology 
of  a  practical  nature,  a  top-grade  scholar  and  execu- 
tive of  high  caliber,  and  a  captain  in  the  First  World 
War,  he  began  his  career  with  the  State  Charities 
Aid  Association  as  director  of  the  State  Committee 
on  Mental  Hygiene.  In  1940  he  was  appointed  by 
Governor  Lehman  to  the  Governor's  Commission  on 
State  Hospital  Problems.  He  is  chairman  of  the 
Committee  on  Parole  and  Family  Care  of  that  Com- 
mission. 

Concerning  Dr.  Davies'  skill  as  an  administrator, 
Miss  Tousley  says  that  he  acts  on  facts  and  not  on 
impulse,  is  democratic  in  his  dealings  with  his  co- 
workers and  gives  full  credit  to  those  around  him. 
One  gathers  that  here  is  a  man  of  large  affairs,  who 
knows,  too,  the  problems  of  every  employee  of  his 
organization.

(77/~ARRY  WARFEL  has  gone  to  the  State  De- 
kJv  partment  in  Washington  in  charge  of  the 
books,  translations  and  libraries  abroad  of  the  Divi- 
sion of  Cultural  Relations  of  the  Department  of 
State.  His  unit  administers  to  other  American  Re- 
publics grants  of  books  to  the  value  of  $125,000  and 
libraries  in  Mexico  City,  Managua  (Nicaragua),  and 
Montevideo  (Uruguay),  and  a  program  by  which 
books  of  U.  S.  origin  are  translated  into  Spanish  and 
Portuguese  and  reciprocally  books  of  Latin  American 
origin  are  turned  into  English.  At  present  the  unit 
is  participating  in  the  China,  Near  East  and  Euro- 
pean programs.  He  serves  as  consultant  on  Amer- 
ican intellectual  progress,  particularly  as  reflected  in 
books  and  periodicals.  On  request,  the  unit  supplies 
materials  to  schools,  universities  and  individuals. 

Dr.  Warfel  is  exceptionally  well  fitted  to  admin- 
ister such  a  program.  Graduated  from  Bucknell  in 
1920,  with  degrees  of  A.B.  and  M.A.,  he  received  the 
M.A.  from  Columbia  in  1924.  He  spent  a  year  in 
graduate  work  in  the  University  of  North  Carolina 
in  1924-25  and  in  1932  received  his  Ph.D.  from 
Yale,  specializing  in  American  literature.  Out  of  his 
interest  in  Americana  have  come  his  book,  "Noah 
Webster,  Schoolmaster  to  America"  (1937),  hailed 
as  the  premier  book  on  this  noted  American;  "The 
American  Mind"  (1936),  written  in  collaboration 
with  S.  T.  Williams  of  Yale;  "American  Local  Color 
Stories"  (1942),  with  G.  H.  Orians;  and  "Of  the 
People"  (1942),  with  E.  W.  Manwaring.  In  addi- 
tion he  issued  three  small  books  in  this  same  period

HE  September  number  of  the  Alumni 
Monthly  carried  a  note  on  Brigadier  Gen- 
eral Wolfe's  outstanding  service  in  connection  with 
the  landing  of  troops  at  Oran.  We  note  here  a  few 
facts  about  this  prominent  Lewisburger  and  Buck- 
nellian. 

He  is  the  son  of  the  late  Charles  J.  and  Helen  M. 
Wolfe  and  was  born  in  Lewisburg  on  May  20,  1896. 
He  attended  the  Lewisburg  schools  and  graduated 
from  Bucknell  in  1916  in  the  department  of  elec- 
trical engineering.  Rising  from  private  to  captain  in 
the  First  World  War,  he  was  later  graduated  from 
the  Fort  Benning  School,  Columbia,  Georgia;  from 
the  Industrial  College,  Washington,  D.  C;  and 
from  the  General  Staff  School  at  Fort  Leavenworth, 
Kansas.  He  served  for  years  as  National  Guard  in- 
structor at  Spartansburg,  South  Carolina;  four  years 
at  Fort  Humphreys  (now  Fort  Belvoir),  Virginia,  as 
aide  to  the  commanding  officer;  and  four  years  with 
the  engineer  corps  that  built  the  famous  Fort  Peck 
Dam  in  Montana.  Here  he  planned  and  superin- 
tended the  building  of  the  huge  electric  power  plant 
now  in  operation.  He  served  two  and  one-half  years 
in  Hawaii  as  assistant  to  the  Department  Engineer 
under  General  Drum  at  Fort  Shafter  when  roads  for 
defense  were  being  planned.  For  his  work  there  he 
was  highly  commended  by  his  superior  officer.  He

/^T^R.  Francis  B.  Haas  was  recently  appointed  for 
-LJ  another  four-year  term  as  Pennsylvania  State 
Superintendent  of  Public  Instruction.  Dr.  Haas, 
who  was  Deputy  Superintendent  under  J.  George 
Becht  in  the  'twenties,  served  as  Superintendent  for 
two  years  following  the  latter's  death.  Appointed 
four  years  ago  by  Governor  James,  he  has  been  re- 
appointed by  Governor  Martin.  He  has  already 
served  longer  than  has  any  other  Superintendent 
since  Dr.  Nathan  C.  Schaeffer. 

Superintendent  Haas  has  a  long  and  distinguished 
record  in  the  field  of  public  education.  He  served  a 
dozen  years  as  president  of  the  Bloomsburg  State 
Teachers  College,  from  which  position  he  was  called 
to  the  State  Superintendency  in  1939-  During  the 
early  days  of  the  great  depression  he  was  elected 
president  of  the  State  Education  Association  and  was 
drafted  for  a  second  term,  the  first  person  to  be  so 
honored.  He  received  the  honorary  LL.D.  from 
Bucknell  in  1939.  His  son,  Francis  B.  Haas,  Jr.,  is 
a  freshman  at  Bucknell.

era  ROTCH  PRODUC€S 


xy\ENN-HYBRID  Corn,  developed  by  Dr.  Wil- 
^f  Iiam  H.  Eyster,  Bucknell  alumnus  and  inter- 
*s  nationally  known  geneticist  for  the  Bucknell 
Alumni  Research  Foundation,  is  rated  the  best  pro- 
ducing hybrid  corn  raised  in  the  state.  Its  growing 
popularity  is  due  to  its  superior  quality.  In  1941,  the 
first  year  of  the  Foundation's  activities,  750  bushels 
were  produced;  in  1942,  1,500  bushels.  This  year's 
crop  is  estimated  at  4,000  bushels.  Up-to-date,  de- 
mands for  the  seed  corn  have  exceeded  the  supply. 
The  accompanying  photograph  will  give  the  reader 
some  idea  of  the  appearance  of  the  corn.  A  much 
better  impression  can  be  obtained  by  those  privileged 
to  witness  the  exhibit  currently  on  display  in  the 
window  of  C.  Dreisbach's  Sons  new  hardware  store 
on  Market  Street  in  Lewisburg. 

While  only  the  trained  scientist  can  understand  all 
the  research  that  has  developed  this  product  over  the 
past  25  years,  even  the  unschooled  can  feast  his  eyes 
on  the  giant  ears  growing,  usually  two  on  a  stalk, 
whose  leaves  average  from  five  to  seven  inches  wide. 
Over  these  years  Dr.  Eyster  has  selected  hundreds  of 
pure  lines  of  native  Pennsylvania  corn  but  has  chosen 
for  Penn-Hybrid  only  a  few  combinations  which 
have  been  found  to  outyield  other  hybrids.  From 
such  pure  lines,  immune  to  common  diseases,  resist- 
ant to  drouth,  and  selected  by  Mother  Nature  in 
some  cases  from  the  days  of  William  Perm,  Penn- 
Hybrid  Corn  has  been  developed. 

It  is  only  about  nine  years  since  hybrid  corn  began 
to  be  produced  in  any  considerable  amount.  Today 
the  traveler  through  the  Middle  West  will  find  that 
the  best  farmers  use  hybrids  exclusively.  However, 
corn  is  a  crop  which  is  provincial  in  its  nature. 
Hybrid  corn  grown  in  Iowa  is  not  adapted  to  growth 
in  Pennsylvania.  Likewise,  corn  grown  in  the  south 
central  part  of  Pennsylvania  is  not  adapted  to  growth 
in  northern  Pennsylvania  and  the  adjoining  state  of 
New  York.  Therefore,  Dr.  Eyster  is  developing  a 
hybrid  corn  adapted  to  that  relatively  colder  climate. 
Some  preliminary  experiments  have  been  unusually 
successful.  It  is  a  bit  hard  to  visualize  the  possibil- 
ities in  such  a  project.  Putting  the  northern  tier  of 
Pennsylvania  and  New  York  State  into  the  corn- 
growing  area  by  means  of  a  carefully  developed  seed 
corn  of  high  quality  would  be  a  contribution  of  pro- 
portions to  the  solution  of  our  food  problem  now 
and  after  the  war,  when  we  shall  have  to  continue 
to  produce  food  for  many  other  lands. 

The  Bucknell  Alumni  Research  Foundation  is  a 
non-profit  organization.    In  other  words,  any  profit 

[8 


that  is  derived  from  the  production  and  sale  of  Penn- 
Hybrid  Corn  is  turned  back  into  the  Bucknell  treas- 
ury for  the  promotion  of  further  research  and  for  the 
further  development  of  our  Bucknell  educational 
program.

CLf  ARRY  WICKEY,  the  artist  who  was  brought 
k^/~V  to  the  campus  in  the  fall  of  1942  for  a  two- 
year  assignment  under  a  Carnegie  Foundation  grant, 
has  returned  to  the  campus  with  Mrs.  Wickey  for  his 
second  year,  after  a  summer  in  their  studio  at  Corn- 
wall-on-Hudson.  On  leaving  the  campus  May  10, 
Mr.  Wickey  presented  a  brief  report  on  his  activities 
through  the  past  year.  A  few  items  of  that  report 
follow. 

His  studio  in  the  Engineering  Building  was  open 
from  nine  to  twelve  and  two  to  four-thirty  each  day 
except  Sunday.  Each  day  an  average  of  twenty  stu- 
dents visited  the  studio  and  observed  him  in  all  the 
activities  involved  in  the  development  of  three  pieces 
of  sculpture. 

Friday  afternoon  of  each  week  was  set  aside  for 
demonstrations  in  the  techniques  of  etching,  drypoint, 
aquatint,  lithography,  armature  construction,  and 
plaster  casting.  Eighteen  of  these  demonstrations 
were  given  between  November  and  May. 

Four  exhibitions  of  original  works  of  art  were 
given  between  December  and  May.  The  opening 
exhibition  consisted  of  approximately  150  original 
works  by  Mr.  and  Mrs.  Wickey;  the  following  of 
originals  by  a  number  of  famous  American  artists. 

A  plan  was  worked  out  whereby  four  hundred 
original  graphic  works  were  offered  on  a  loan  basis

By  Robert  Streeter,  '38 

C7/7VTH  Alumnus  Johnny  Sitarsky,   '36,  at  the 

\\U  coaching  helm,  Bucknell's  football  team 
rallied  after  an  uneven  start  and  managed  to  per- 
form like  a  typical  Bison  eleven  in  this  most  uncer- 
tain of  all  gridiron  campaigns.  After  losing  four  out 
of  five  early-season  contests — to  Cornell,  Penn  State, 
Villanova,  and  surprisingly  strong  F.  and  M. — the 
Herd  finally  began  thundering  in  late  October  and 
stampeded  to  five  consecutive  triumphs  over  Tem- 
ple, Muhlenberg,  Lakehurst  Naval,  Case,  and  F.  and 
M.  Thus  the  season's  record  stands  at  six  victories, 
four  defeats. 

Molding  a  football  team  this  fall  was  like  stirring 
a  collegiate  melting  pot,  since  the  squad  was  com- 
posed of  Navy  V-12  trainees  from  more  than  a  score 
of  colleges.  In  the  starting  lineup  for  the  Cornell 
and  Penn  State  frays  were  four  Bucknell  men,  three 
from  Manhattan,  two  from  Temple,  and  one  each 
from  Panzer  and  Hampden-Sydney. 

To  make  the  season  that  much  more  hectic,  in  late 
October  Coach  Sitarsky  and  Trainer  Henry  N.  Peters, 
'39,  received  their  marching  orders  from  the  armed 
forces.  Accepted  for  Army  service,  the  affable 
Johnny  was  able  to  guide  his  charges  to  three  vic- 
tories during  his  three-week  post-induction  fur- 
lough; he  reported  for  active  duty  November  17. 

Aiding  Sitarsky  in  his  mansized  job  of  amalgamat- 
ing such  diverse  talent  into  a  hard-hitting  football 
machine  was  a  newcomer  to  the  Bison  athletic  scene, 
J.  Ellwood  (Woody)  Ludwig,  assistant  coach,  who 
took  over  as  head  mentor  when  Sitarsky  departed. 
Ludwig,  a  varsity  end  at  the  University  of  Pennsyl- 
vania, also  succeeded  Sitarsky  as  varsity  basketball 
coach. 

Capping  the  campaign  was  the  supercharged 
Bisons'  Thanksgiving  Day  triumph  over  a  previously 
undefeated  Franklin  and  Marshall  eleven  which  had 
been  mentioned  for  the  post-season  bowl  games. 
Striking  savagely  in  the  first  two  minutes  of  play,

Bucknell's  gridmen  had  a  14-0  lead  before  the  Dip- 
lomats knew  what  was  happening. 

The  first  two  times  Bucknellians  got  their 
hands  on  the  ball  the  Bisons  scored  touch- 
downs. Gene  Hubka  raced  back  90  yards  for 
a  touchdown  after  taking  the  opening  kick- 
off.  Then,  when  F.  and  M.  fumbled  on  the 
first  play  after  the  return  kickoff,  George 
Lefkandinos  immediately  circled  right  end 
for  20  yards  and  another  score. 

In  the  third  quarter  Hubka  ran  brilliantly 
on  a  31-yard  touchdown  trek  which  climaxed 
an  80-yard  Bison  drive.  Ahead,  21  to  0,  as 
the  fourth  quarter  began,  the  Thundering 
Herd  yielded  a  pair  of  last-minute  touch- 
downs on  a  desperate  Diplomat  aerial  as- 
sault, which  made  the  final  score  21-13. 

Standouts  for  the  team  all  fall  have  been 
a  pair  of  veteran  Bucknellians,  Marine  Pri- 
vate Walter  Szot,  co-captain  and  left  tackle, 
and  Apprentice  Seaman  Elting  (Red)  John- 
son, fullback.  Szot,  playing  alongside  the 
other  co-captain,  Apprentice  Seaman  Gene 
Matthews,  made  the  left  side  of  the  Orange 
and  Blue  line  virtually  impregnable.  Mat- 
thews, incidentally,  left  the  eleven  after  the  Captain  Szot,  All

Temple  game  when  he  was  transferred  to  another 

naval  station  for  further  training. 

Naval  Lieutenant  Al  Humphreys,  who 
coached  Szot  for  two  years  at  Bucknell,  re- 
gards the  Bison  co-captain  as  one  of  the  best 
tackles  he  has  ever  seen  on  any  football  field, 
and  Sitarsky  and  Ludwig  were  willing  to  con- 
cur in  that  opinion  after  watching  Szot  in  ac- 
tion this  fall.  "In  three  years  of  college  ball 
Szot  has  simply  never  been  outfought  or  out- 
foxed by  an  opposing  lineman,"  Sitarsky  said. 
Johnson,  meanwhile,  has  been  compiling 
one  of  the  best  ground-gaining  records  of 
any  Bison  back  since  the  days  of  Clarke  Hin- 
kle.  In  nine  games  he  lugged  the  leather  139 
times  for  a  total  gain  of  528  yards,  an  aver- 
age of  3-8  yards  per  try.  Curiously,  he  went 
six  games  without  scoring  a  touchdown, 
mainly  because  his  able  substitute,  Dick 
Hoffman,  happened  to  be  in  play  when  Buck- 
nell got  a  scoring  opportunity.  In  the  next 
three  tilts,  however,  Johnson  tallied  four 
touchdowns  and  three  extra  points  for  27 
points. 

Bucknell's  first  game  this  fall  was  a  teach- 
>isylvania  Tackle  er-meets-pupil    affair,    as    Sitarsky    led    the 


Bisons  to  Ithaca,  N.  Y.,  for  a  contest  with  the  Cor- 
nell eleven  tutored  by  his  onetime  coach,  Carl 
Snavely.  It  was  a  close  call  for  the  Snavelymen,  too, 
Cornell  winning,  7  to  6.  The  big  Bucknell  blow  in 
this  game  was  a  55-yard  passing  play  engineered  by 
two  refugees  from  Manhattan,  Mike  Kostynick 
throwing  to  End  Andy  Murphy.  In  the  dying  mo- 
ments of  play  another  ex-Manhattan  star,  Jim  Worst, 
almost  pulled  off  a  28-yard  field  goal  which  would 
have  won  the  game  for  Bucknell,  but  his  placement 
try  was  wide  by  eighteen  inches. 

Against  Penn  State  the  following  Saturday  the 
Bisons  had  a  chance  only  in  the  third  quarter,  when 
their  ground  attack  brought  them  to  the  Nittany 
Lions'  10-yard  line.  The  rest  of  the  way  the  Centre 
Countians  held  command,  with  flashy  Jack  Cas- 
tigliano  catching  a  pair  of  touchdown  passes  in  the 
end  zone,  to  make  the  margin  of  victory  14-0. 

Bucknellian  Alvin  F.  Julian's  Muhlenberg  eleven 
gave  the  Herd  a  bitter  battle  in  the  first  home  game 
of  the  campaign,  but  the  Sitarskymen  eked  out  a 
14-6  victory,  as  Johnson  gained  more  than  100  yards 
individually  by  rushing. 

With  their  Little  All-American  passer,  Doug 
Rehor,  putting  on  a  brilliant  display,  Franklin  and 
Marshall's  Diplomats  paid  their  first  visit  to  the 
Bucknell  campus  in  half  a  century  and  defeated  their 
hosts,  12  to  6.  Rehor  passed  the  Bison  defense  dizzy, 
with  towering  Bill  Iannicelli  his  favorite  receiver. 
Bucknell  scored  in  the  last  two  minutes  when  John 
Hewson,  six  feet,  six  inches  of  end,  snared  three 
straight  "desperation"  passes. 

On  a  rain-soaked  gridiron  in  Shibe  Park,  Philadel- 
phia, Bucknell  fought  all  the  way  before  losing  to 
Villanova,  12-8.  Momentarily  in  the  third  quarter 
the  Bisons  led,  8  to  6,  but  another  gifted  passer,  Al 
Postus,  led  the  Wildcats  to  a  fourth-quarter  touch- 
down which  erased  the  Lewisburgers'  lead. 

The  team  launched  its  four-game  winning  streak 

at  the  expense  of  Temple's  Owls,  who  were  nosed 

out,  7  to  6.   Trailing  by  a  touchdown  in  the  second 

half,  Bucknell  got  its  scoring  break  when  Szot  inter-

BISOn  CLUB  CARRIES  OH 

C.  Preston  ("Pep")  Dawson,  Past  President 

fT)  ISON  Club  activities  have  not  escaped  inter- 
jLJ  ference  by  the  war.  Much  that  we  normally 
do  and  much  that  we  had  planned  to  do  some 
months  ago  has  been  side-tracked.  For  example,  the 
Club  was  supposed  to  elect  new  officers  last  spring 
but  our  meeting  was  summarily  cancelled  at  the  re- 
quest of  Uncle  Sam.  As  a  result,  the  present  officers 
are  continuing  until  other  arrangements  can  be  made. 
Perhaps  we  shall  find  it  necessary  to  ballot  by  mail 
before  lone. 

Although  our  program  has  been  considerably 
altered,  the  Club  will  continue  to  serve  Bucknell 
effectively  during  the  war.  Fortunately  the  Navy  has 
not  suspended  competitive  athletics  at  the  colleges  it 
has  taken  over  and,  also  fortunately,  Bucknell  is  one 
of  those  colleges.  Athletics  are  very  much  alive  at 
Lewisburg.  Bison  Club  members  recently  received  a 
letter  from  Director  of  Athletics  "Benny"  Griffith  in 
which  they  learned  about  our  unusual  football  team 
and  schedule.  By  now  we  have  witnessed  this  un- 
usual team  in  action  (or  have  read  about  it) ,  and  we 
have  also  observed  an  unusual  feature  of  our  sched- 
ule— playing  the  same  team  twice  during  the  season. 
So  there  we  have  an  example  of  a  changed  program 
but  nevertheless  a  continuation  of  athletic  activities. 

It  is  not  planned  that  our  Club  will  engage  in  a 
major  campaign  for  new  membership  this  year.  We 
do  desire  some  growth,  for  when  a  club  stops  ex- 
panding it  falls  behind  in  membership  and  no  organ- 
ization can  do  a  good  job  under  such  circumstances. 
So  we  are  hoping  that  Bucknellians  who  have  not  yet 
become  affiliated  with  us  will  apply  for  membership 
now.  There  is  much  to  be  done  to  stabilize  and  im- 
prove athletics  and  the  only  practical  answer  is  a 
large  Bison  Club  membership  with  each  member 
making  his  small  contribution  in  money,  suggestions 
and  recruiting  of  new  students  for  Bucknell. 

Some  young  men  will  be  ready  for  college  before 
they  attain  draft  age.  These  should  be  found  and 
urged  to  start  their  college  careers.  Given  a  taste  of 
college  life  and  its  challenge  to  improve  one's  educa- 
tion, some  of  these  young  men  will  look  forward  to 
a  return  to  college  after  hostilities  have  ceased. 
Some  of  the  hundreds  of  fine  young  marines  and 
sailors  sent  to  Bucknell  by  the  government  for 
special  training  will  desire  to  return  to  college  after 
the  war  and  it  is  our  hope  that  to  them  college  will 
mean  Bucknell.  A  good  program  of  athletics  will 
help  persuade  these  active  righting  men  to  come  back 
to  us.  Strong,  active  young  men  desire  association 
with  strong,  active  and  progressive  instructors. 

Although  we  cannot  hold  large  meetings  during 
the  war,  there  is  no  reason  at  all  why  meetings  of 

[22 


local  groups  should  not  be  held.  Conversely  there  is 
every  reason  why  such  meetings  should  be  held  and 
I  urge  Bisons  in  every  city  to  get  together  frequently 
to  discuss  ideas  for  the  welfare  of  the  University  and 
the  Club.  In  New  York  Rush  Kress  has  taken  it 
upon  himself  for  several  years  to  sponsor  at  least 
two  meetings  a  year  of  the  Bison  Club  and  other 
Bucknell  groups.  Most  of  these  meetings  are  held  at 
his  home.  By  keeping  the  groups  comparatively 
small — fifteen  to  twenty  men — there  is  ample  oppor- 
tunity for  each  man  to  be  heard  if  he  has  suggestions 
to  make.  More  and  more  such  meetings  should  be 
taking  place  throughout  the  country.  The  best  sug- 
gestions come  from  such  group  thinking  and  plan- 
ning. I  hope  some  Bisons  in  each  city  will  take  the 
initiative  to  set  up  such  meetings. 

Most  Bucknellians  are  very  busy  during  these  war 
days.  Under  such  conditions,  unless  we  are  reminded 
and  urged  to  action,  we  might  forget  our  obligations 
to  Bucknell.  I  am  sure  that  each  member  of  the 
Bison  Club  will  answer  any  call  from  President 
Marts  to  help  keep  Bucknell  on  an  even  keel.  How- 
ever, our  President  is  not  likely  to  call  upon  us.  I 
suggest  voluntary  action  on  the  part  of  each  member. 
While  it  is  fresh  in  your  mind,  take  some  immediate 
action  for  the  good  of  our  University.  Get  a  new 
member  for  the  Bison  Club !  Pay  your  dues!  Sponsor 
a  meeting  of  Bucknellians  in  your  territory  to  dis- 
cuss college  affairs!  Spot  a  few  good  candidates  for 
admission  to  Bucknell !  There  is  much  to  be  done  in 
these  days  of  war  to  keep  our  peacetime  institutions 
and  customs  alive.

K^y  lishing  a  new  bulletin  covering  its  entire  pro- 
gram but  emphasizing  the  graduate  program  and 
giving  specific  requirements  for  administrative  and

Bucknell  Holds  First  October  Commencement 

(Continued  from  page  1.) 

Douglas  Ward  Passage  of  Rochester,  New  York. 
Fourteen  master's  degrees  were  conferred. 

The  one  honorary  doctorate  conferred  went  to 
Rear  Admiral  Randall  Jacobs,  Chief  of  Naval  Per- 
sonnel, a  native  of  Danville,  Pennsylvania.  In  intro- 
ducing him  as  the  Commencement  speaker,  President 
Marts  reminded  the  audience  that  although  Rear  Ad- 
miral Jacobs  was  reared  only  15  miles  from  Bucknell 
he  had  required  40  years  to  make  the  trip.  Rear 
Admiral  Jacobs  warned  his  listeners  that  unless  the 
United  States  maintains  armed  force  sufficient  to  win

OSCAR  Ullfl,  12,  BUILDS  "BIG 
IHCH"  PIPELI 

0SCAR  WOLFE  of  the  Class  of  1912  has  been 
doing  his  bit  for  the  war  effort  in  a  big  way. 
As  Chief  Engineer  of  the  War  Emergency  Pipelines, 
Inc.,  the  company  which  is  acting  as  agent  for  the 
United  States  Government  in  the  project,  he  has 
superintended  the  construction  of  the  "Big  Inch" 
pipeline,  consisting  of  two  parallel  lines,  one  24 
inches  in  diameter  and  the  other  20  inches  in  diam- 
eter. The  former  line  carries  crude  oil  and  the  latter 
gasoline,  kerosene  and  heating  oils.  The  pipelines 
are  approximately  1400  miles  in  length,  extending 
from  Texas  to  the  Atlantic  Coast  of  New  Jersey.  An 
indication  of  the  importance  of  the  project  is  the  fact 
that  300,000  barrels  of  crude  oil  are  pouring  into 
Philadelphia  and  New  York  refineries  every  day. 
The  significance  of  this  to  our  armed  forces  is  in- 
calculable. 

Ever  since  his  graduation,  Oscar  Wolfe  has  been 
connected  with  the  oil  industry.  In  1912  he  went  to 
Oil  City,  Pa.,  and  got  a  job  with  a  subsidiary  of  the 
Standard  Oil  Company,  which  was  engaged  in  trans- 
porting oil  through  pipelines.  Ever  since  then  he  has 
been  engaged  in  this  phase  of  the  industry.  From 
1917  to  1927  he  worked  in  the  oil  fields  of  Kentucky. 
In  1928  he  became  assistant  engineer  of  the  Texas 
Pipeline  Company  and  later  was  promoted  to  chief 
engineer.  In  this  position  his  department  constructed 
pipelines  costing  many  millions  of  dollars.  In  1933 
he  went  to  New  York  City  as  chief  engineer  of  the 
Texas  Company,  which  loaned  him  to  the  U.  S.  Gov- 
ernment without  charge  for  the  tremendous  job  he 
has  carried  out  with  such  amazing  dispatch. 

Those  who  were  in  Bucknell  in  1909  well  remem- 


ber the  tall  German  lad  just  off  the  boat  who  entered 
Bucknell  as  a  sophomore  and  soon  became  a  mem- 
ber of  the  Phi  Gamma  Delta  Fraternity.  His  speech 
was  a  bit  halting  but  his  heart  was  in  the  right  loca- 
tion and  his  ability  and  pleasing  personality  soon 
won  the  respect  of  his  classmates,  of  whom  the  writer 
was  one.  Our  biggest  problem  was  to  pronounce  the 
name  of  his  preparatory  school,  the  Grossherzogliche 
Oberrealschule,  Pforzheim,  Baden,  Deutschland. 

Mr.  Wolfe  was  called  back  to  Bucknell  a  few 
years  ago,  when  President  Marts  appointed  a  visit- 
ing committee  on  engineering.  This  committee,  of 
which  he  is  a  member,  has  cooperated  loyally  in 
bringing  to  Bucknell's  engineering  departments  the 
recognition  they  now  enjoy.  But  it  was  a  pleasure  for 
him  to  come  back  for  another  reason.  His  son, 
Anton  Oscar,  Junior,  was  a  student  here  at  that  time. 
He  was  graduated  in  the  Class  of  1939  and  is  now  in 
the  Armed  Forces.  Oscar  Junior's  mother  is  Lucy 
Loane  Wolfe  of  the  Class  of  1911  at  Allegheny  Col- 
lege. Mr.  Wolfe's  present  address  is  The  Enquirer 
Building,  Cincinnati,  Ohio.

TRIPLE  CITIES  ORGflZE 


£~><=>HE  Triple  Cities  (Binghamton,  Endicott  and 
\S)  Johnson  City,  New  York)  now  have  a  live 
Alumni  Club  that  is  full  of  enthusiasm  and  rarin'  to 
go.  It  has  accepted  as  its  project  for  the  year  the 
recruiting  of  a  group  of  first-rate  Bucknell  students 
from  that  area. 

The  club  grew  out  of  the  initiative  of  Harry  Sta- 
bler, X'23,  who  decided  that  the  Elmira  Club  was 
too  far  away,  particularly  in  this  period  of  rationed 
travel,  and  who  was  determined  that  Bucknell  should 
have  a  bigger  place  in  the  thinking  of  the  Triple 
Cities.  He  invited  the  Acting  Alumni  Secretary 
to  show  Bucknell  pictures  to  college  prospects  in  the 
high  schools  of  the  three  cities  and  called  a  meeting 
of  alumni  in  the  section  to  consider  organization  of 
a  club.  The  pictures  were  shown  on  November  22 
and  the  meeting  was  held  the  same  evening  at  the 
Arlington  Hotel  in  Binghamton.  Officers  elected 
were  President,  Harry  E.  Stabler,  X'23;  Vice-Pres- 
ident, Gordon  Goodyear,  '27;  Secretary,  Sam  W. 
Bernstein,  '34;  Treasurer,  James  T.  Converse,  '33; 
Executive  Committee,  Robert  Walker,  '44;  William 
Work,  '38;  and  Herbert  W.  Morreall,  '37.  Others 
present  at  the  meeting  were  Kendon  Foster,  X'23; 
Delbert  C.  Vaughn,  X'34;  Mrs.  Sam  Bernstein  (nee

ion 


Lt.  Wilson  W.  Woods 

Lieutenant  Wilson  W.  Woods, 
'41,  has  been  missing  in  action  since 
July  1,  1943,  in  the  South  Pacific.  He 
had  seen  action  at  Casablanca,  had 
come  home,  and  had  been  sent  to  the 
South  Pacific  in  December,  1942.  A 
letter  from  his  father,  Mr.  C.  M. 
Woods,  says,  "We  still  have  hopes 
that  he  will  show  up."

John  V.  Judge,  '38,  died  in  an  army 
camp  in  this  country  where  he  was  re- 
ceiving training  in  connection  with  the 
armed  forces.  His  death  occurred  on 
December  27,  1942. 

Before  his  induction  into  the  army, 
John  attended  Bucknell  Junior  College 
at  Wilkes-Barre,  then  transferred  to 
the  University,  where  he  graduated 
with  the  degree  of  Bachelor  of  Science 
in  Commerce  and  Finance. 


Lieutenant  Roy  F.  Good,  '44,  was 
killed  in  a  tragic  air  accident  near 
Meadville,  Penna.,  on  October  5,  1943. 
He  was  an  instructor  at  the  army  air 
training  school,  Allegheny  College, 
and  was  flying  with  a  cadet  in  a  train- 
ing plane.  Another  plane  left  the 
ground  at  approximately  the  same 
time,  and  the  two  planes  collided  at 
an  elevation  of  about  1,000  feet. 

Lieutenant  Good  enlisted  in  the 
civilian  pilot  training  corps  at  Buck- 
nell under  the  supervision  of  the  army 
air  corps.  He  went  on  to  take  ad- 
vanced training  and  received  the  as- 
signment as  a  flight  instructor  at 
Seneca  Flying  School,  Syracuse,  N.  Y. 
He  was  then  transferred  to  Fort  Meade 
Airport,  Meadville,  last  August. 

Instructor  Good  is  survived  by  his 
parents,  three  sisters  and  five  brothers, 
four  of  whom  are  in  the  service. 


Lt.  Roy  F.  Good 


Ensign  Theodore   A.   Brown  was 

lost  in  the  vicinity  of  the  Gilbert 
Islands  on  September  18.  He  had  been 
on  a  raid  and  shortly  after  his  return  a 
request  came  for  volunteers  to  photo- 
graph enemy  territory;  he  was  one 
who  went  out.  He  strayed  away  from 
the  group  and  although  contacted  by 
radio  could  not  be  found.  His  buddies 
are  confident  that  he  is  still  alive,  since 
the  enemy  had  been  wiped  out  in  that 
area. 


Lt.  Paul  Johnson 

Lieutenant  Paul  Johnson,  '36,  was 
killed  on  August  14  while  on  a  routine 
cross-country  flight  with  eight  other 
officers  from  MacDill  Field,  Tampa, 
Florida,  to  Kellogg  Field  at  Battle 
Creek,  Michigan.  Their  bomber  was 
caught  in  a  storm  over  the  mountains 
of  Kentucky  and  crashed,  killing  all  on 
board.  Dr.  Johnson  had  closed  his 
medical  practice  in  Montoursville,  Pa., 
on  November  15,  1942,  and  entered 
the  service  of  his  country.  He  leaves 
his  father  and  mother,  his  wife,  and  a 
daughter  three  and  a  half  years  old.

The  Rev.  and  Mrs.  J.  H.  Fleckenstine 
of  York,  formerly  of  Lewisburg,  have  an- 
nounced the  engagement  of  their  daughter, 
Betty,  '41,  to  Pfc.  Philip  H.  Minnich,  also 
of  York.  No  date  has  been  set  for  the 
wedding.  Betty  was  graduated  from  Lewis- 
burg High  School  as  valedictorian  of  the 
class  of  1936.  In  1941  she  received  the 
degree  of  Bachelor  of  Arts,  with  the  cita- 
tion of  summa  cum  laude,  from  Bucknell, 
where  she  was  a  member  of  Phi  Beta  Kap- 
pa. In  1942,  she  graduated  from  the  School 
of  Library  Science  of  Drexel  Institute  of 
Technology,  Philadelphia,  with  the  degree 
of  Bachelor  of  Science  in  Library  Science. 
Formerly  employed  in  the  reference  depart- 
ment of  the  Martin  Memorial  Library  in 
York,  Betty  is  now  technical  librarian  of 
the  research  laboratory  library  of  the  York 
Corporation. 

Ruth  McFarland  Glesk,  '29,  contributed 
this  bit  of  interesting  news.  It  seems  that 
her  two  brothers,  both  of  whom  attended 
Bucknell,  and  are  now  in  the  service,  had  a 
reunion  in  the  southwest  Pacific  after  not 
seeing  each  other  for  over  two  years.  Jack, 
John  Z.  McFarland,  III,  '35,  now  a  captain 
in  the  dental  corps,  was  at  Pearl  Harbor  at 
the  time  of  the  attack,  and  is  now  in  a 
more  active  combat  area.  James,  '41,  is 
now  a  1st  Lieutenant  in  the  air  corps  and 
flies  a  B24.  One  day  in  March,  Jack  re- 
ceived a  call  from  the  air  field  in  his  area 
to  find  that  it  was  Jim  who  had  landed 
there.  The  two  brothers  had  chow  together, 
and  Jack  shared  his  mail  with  Jim  who  had 
not   heard    from    home    in   several    months. 


Needless  to  say  it  was  a  very  happy  occa- 
sion for  the  two  brothers,  and  they  felt  that 
Fate  had  been  unusually  kind  in  allowing 
them  to  meet  some  thousands  of  miles  from 
home. 

Miss  Elizabeth  B.  Moyer,  of  Selinsgrove, 
Pa.,  and  Charles  R.  Eyer,  '40,  of  Buffalo, 
N.  Y.,  were  united  in  marriage  in  a  pretty 
summer  wedding.  The  bridegroom  was  at- 
tended by  his  brother,  Robert  C.  Eyer,  '33, 
Lewisburg,  as  best  man;  and  the  ushers 
were  Hoover  Rhodes,  '39,  Lewisburg,  and 
Donald  Fortner,  '40,  Lewisburg.  At  pres- 
ent Charles  is  employed  by  the  Curtiss 
Wright   Aeronautical   Company   at   Buffalo. 

Mr.  and  Mrs.  Allen  P.  Seiler,  '33,  are 
the  proud  parents  of  a  son  born  Sept.  6, 
1943.  Mr.  and  Mrs.  Seiler  reside  at  211 
Dauphin  St.,  Enola,  Pa. 

Mr.  and  Mrs.  Ernest  F.  Turner  announce 
the  marriage  of  their  daughter,  Rosemary 
Anne,  to  Jack  Frederick  Bailey,  '38,  Lt. 
(jg),  U.S.N.R.,  on  Saturday,  Oct.  16,  1943, 
at  Camp  Lejeune,  New  River,  N.  C. 

Nicholas  Palma,  M.D.,  '24,  has  been 
commissioned  Lieutenant  Commander  in  the 
U.S.N. R.,  and  reports  for  active  duty  De- 
cember 20,  1943,  at  Parris  Island,  S.  C. 

Announcement  has  been  received  of  the 
marriage  of  Ensign  Marion  G.  Phillips,  '43, 
to  Thomas  D.  Meyer,  '41,  Williamsport, 
Pa.  Mary  T.  Orso,  '43,  was  matron  of 
honor.  After  her  graduation  from  Buck- 
nell, the  bride  attended  Officers  Training 
School  at  Smith  College  and  received  her 
commission  as  an  ensign  in  the  WAVES 
last  June  and  is  now  stationed  in  Washing- 
ton. Mr.  Meyer,  a  graduate  of  Bucknell 
with  magna  cum  laude  honors,  is  in  the 
Naval  Research  Laboratories  in  Anacostia, 
D.  C. 

Dr.  John  Anderson,  '05,  ear,  nose  and 
throat  specialist,  passed  away  in  the  Alle- 
gheny General  Hospital  at  Pittsburgh,  where 
he  was  a  former  staff  member.  After  leav- 
ing Bucknell,  where  he  was  a  member  of 
the  Sigma  Chi  Fraternity,  he  attended  Yale 
University  and  the  University  of  Pittsburgh 
Medical  School.  To  an  older  generation 
Dr.  Anderson  was  a  well-known  athletic 
figure.  He  was  a  football  and  basketball 
star  of  the  first  grade,  playing  football  with 
Christy  Mathewson  and  Moose  McCormick 
while  at  Bucknell.  On  going  to  Pittsburgh, 
he  played  basketball  for  the  famous  South 
Side  club  of  the  period  which  knew  Harry 
Hough  and  others. 

Sgt.  Amos  B.  Cleckner,  '43,  and  Muriel 
L.  White,  both  of  Harrisburg,  were  united 
in  marriage  in  August,   1943,   in  that  city.

METROPOLITAN  ALUMNI  CLUB 
HOLDS  DECEMBER  MEETING 

The  Metropolitan  Alumni  Club  met 
in  Pal's  Cabin,  West  Orange,  N.  J., 
Friday  evening,  Dec.  3,  and  had  an  old- 
time  Bucknell  reunion.  Joe  Dent,  the 
president,  was  at  home  with  pneu- 
monia, but  had  recovered  sufficiently 
to  permit  Mrs.  Dent  to  attend  the 
meeting.  After  a  telegram  of  good 
wishes    had    been    sent    him,    Robert 


Heim,  '24,  opened  the  meeting.  Ed. 
Snyder,  '11,  national  chairman  of  the 
Hundredth  Birthday  Campaign,  re- 
ported progress,  eulogized  President 
Marts  for  his  leadership,  and  urged 
alumni  to  continue  "rolling  in  the  sub- 
scriptions" until  every  cent  of  indebt- 
edness is  paid. 

Chairman  Heim  then  called  on 
Frank  G.  Davis,  '11,  acting  alumni 
secretary,  Ralph  E.  Page,  dean  of  men, 


and  Captain  Paul  Miller  of  the  Buck- 
nell V-12  program.  Dr.  Davis  urged 
alumni  cooperation  in  the  admissions 
program,  Dean  Page  reviewed  the 
football  campaign,  particularly  the 
Thanksgiving  game,  and  Captain 
Miller  gave  an  interesting  and  in- 
formative story  of  the  work  of  the 
V-12  unit  on  the  Campus.  "Red" 
Lowther,  '12,  president  of  the  General 
Alumni  Association,  led  the  singing 
and  everyone  had  a  glorious  time.

/VLUMNI  who  are  desirous  of  assisting  in  the 
^/±  recruiting  of  a  high-grade  group  of  students 
for  Alma  Mater  need  to  know  what  types  of  students 
are  likely  to  be  accepted  if  they  apply.  Below  are  the 
requirements  as  listed  in  the  catalog: 

1.  Applicants  for  admission  to  the  College  must  be 
graduates  of  an  approved  four-year  secondary  school, 
or  graduates  of  an  approved  senior  high  school. 

2.  Applicants  will  be  admitted  to  the  College  on 
the  basis  of  individual  qualifications  to  do  college 
work  as  indicated  by  such  criteria  as  high  school 
grades,  rank  in  graduating  class,  principal's  rating,  in- 
telligence as  measured  by  a  good  intelligence  test, 
character,  personality,  and  qualities  of  leadership. 

More  specifically,  a  student  who  ranks  below  the 
upper  two-fifths  of  his  graduating  class  should 
hardly  expect  to  be  admitted  unless  he  has  some  par- 
ticularly good  reason  for  the  class  rank  and  other 
qualities  that  provide  considerable  promise  for  col- 
lege success.  In  fact,  a  very  large  percentage  of 
Bucknell  students  rank  in  the  upper  fifth  of  their 
high  school  classes. 

Alumni  will  note  that  no  specific  subjects*  are 
mentioned  for  college  entrance.  This  is  in  line  with 
the  findings  of  a  great  deal  of  research  during  the 
past  quarter  of  a  century,  which  had  indicated  that 
success  in  college  depends  not  on  the  specific  sub- 
jects a  student  has  taken  but  on  what  he  has  done 
with  those  he  has  taken.  Therefore,  it  is  possible  for 
a  high-grade  student  who  has  not  taken  the  tradi- 
tional college  preparatory  course  to  be  admitted  to 
Bucknell.  The  criteria  listed  in  No.  2  above  screen 
out  quite  successfully  those  who  will  not  succeed  in 
Bucknell.  Every  student  admitted  must  submit  de- 
tailed information  about  himself  and  further  infor- 
mation is  obtained  by  the  College  from  those  who 
know  intimately  his  record  and  personality  qualifica- 
tions. 


*A  few  exceptions  to  the  rule  of  no  specific  subject  requirements 
are  found  in  that: 

(a)  Engineering  students  must  have  had  V/z  years  of  algebra 
plus  plane  geometry;  solid  geometry  is  required  of  civil,  electrical 
and  mechanical  engineering  students.  A  course  in  solid  geometry 
is  offered  in  the  freshman  year  for  those  who  have  not  had  the 
subject  in  preparatory  school. 

(b)  Students  who  plan  to  take  the  Bachelor  of  Science  course 
(biology,  chemistry  or  physics)  and  those  majoring  in  mathematics 
are  required  to  have  at  least  V/2  years  of  algebra  and  plane 
geometry.  Students  taking  the  Bachelor  of  Science  in  Commerce 
and  Finance  are  required  to  have  at  least  \l/2  years  of  algebra.

Alumni  Publications 

/T~\NE  book  has  been  received  by  the  Alumni  Of- 
\_J  fice  since  the  request  in  the  September  Alumni 
Monthly.  This  is  "Trends  in  Public  School  Adult 
Education  in  Cities  of  the  United  States,  1929-1939," 
by  Andrew  Hendrickson,  '25,  of  Cleveland  College, 
Cleveland,  Ohio.  So  far  as  is  known,  this  little  book 
furnishes  the  most  recent  and  most  comprehensive 
information  concerning  the  development  of  this  new 
and  important  branch  of  education.  Sixty-one  cities 
cooperated  in  furnishing  information  dealing  with 
adult  education  practices  over  the  past  few  years. 
Dr.  Hendrickson  has  carefully  analyzed  this  infor- 
mation and  drawn  certain  significant  conclusions 
about  the  progress  and  future  of  public  school  adult 
education  in  our  nation's  cities.  Not  the  least  inter- 
esting part  of  the  work  is  the  appendix,  in  which  he 
reports  the  progress  being  made  and  the  provision 
for  adult  education  within  individual  cities.  There 
is  small  doubt  that  this  new  volume  will  be  widely 
read  by  people  interested  in  the  field  of  adult  edu- 
cation. 

Miss  Minnie  I.  Etzweiler,  T4,  who  wrote  "Then 
and  Now  in  Harrisburg"  under  the  name  of  Marion 
Inglewood,  has  written  another  book.  It  has  been 
published  by  Dorrance  and  Company  and  is  entitled, 
"Stories  From  the  Workingman's  Book."  Miss  Etz- 
weiler takes  stories  from  the  Bible  and  gives  her 
interpretation  of  what  they  mean.  A  former  member 
of  the  editorial  staff  of  The  Patriot  (Harrisburg, 
Pa.),  Miss  Etzweiler  is  now  living  in  California.

enjoying  his  first  and  only  furlough  from  his  work  as 
a  missionary  to  Burma.  She  was  graduated  from 
the  Bucknell  Female  Institute  in  June,  1858.  On 
September  5,  1865,  she  married  Reverend  Edward 
Oliver  Stevens.  Exactly  one  month  later  they  sailed 
for  Burma,  where  they  lived  and  worked  until  Rev- 
erend Stevens'  death  forty-five  years  later.  In  a  letter 
to  Dr.  William  G.  Owens  on  December  5,  1942,  she 
said,  "My  husband  was  a  missionary  to  the  Burmese 
and  labored  for  them  45  years.  Time  would  fail  me 
to  tell  of  our  interesting  experiences." 

Since  1930  Mrs.  Stevens  has  been  living  with  her 
daughter,  the  widow  of  a  former  president  of  Hamp- 
ton Institute  at  Hampton,  Virginia.  In  addition  to 
the  daily  reading  of  her  Burmese  Bible,  she  does  a 
great  deal  of  knitting  for  the  Armed  Forces,  takes 
a  daily  wralk,  and  writes  numerous  letters  in  a  very 
firm  hand  to  friends  in  America,  Asia  and  Europe. 
The  Alumni  Monthly  salutes  this  unusual  woman 
and  wishes  her  many  more  days  of  pleasure  and  use- 
fulness. 


Death  Calls  Beloved  Trustee 

(Continued  from  page  4.) 

Eneineerine  at  the  Bucknell  Commencement  on  May 
23,  1943,  Henry  A.  Roemer,  member  of  the  Bucknell 
Board  of  Trustees,  said  of  him,  "Mr.  Ladd  has  served 
and  is  serving  with  distinction  as  a  director  of  prom- 
inent, nationally  known  industrial,  financial,  trans- 
portation and  business  concerns — too  numerous  to 
mention.  He  is  an  active  and  energetic  leader  of 
civic  activities — a  director  of  hospitals  and  various 
charitable  institutions.  He  had  headed  many  indus- 
try associations.  He  is  a  Fellow  of  the  American 
Society  of  Mechanical  Engineers.  He  is  a  Member 
of  the  Advisory  Council  of  the  Pittsburgh  Ordnance 
District  and  a  member  of  the  Federal  Reserve  Board 
at  Cleveland,  Ohio.  He  is  President  of  the  Pitts- 
burgh Testing  Laboratory,  President  of  the  Pitts- 
burgh Diagnostic  Clinic,  a  Trustee  of  the  Carnegie 
Institute,  the  Carnegie  Institute  of  Technology,  and 
of  our  own  Bucknell.  He  served  as  a  Lieutenant 
Commander  of  the  Ordnance  Division  of  the  United 
States  Navy,  during  World  War  I,  and  is  now  devot- 
ing his  engineering  talents  and  organizing  ability  to 
the  production  of  vital  elements  of  war  in  the  pres- 
ent conflict." 

Bucknell  will  miss  his  kindly  advice  and  encour- 
agement, but  future  mechanical  engineers  will  re- 
member him  not  only  as  a  benefactor  but  as  a 
professional  leader  whose  example  it  will  be  well 
to  emulate.

while  doing  a  great  deal  of  lecturing  and  magazine 
writing. 

Harry  has  had  a  broad  experience  in  the  voca- 
tional field.  While  gathering  a  cum  laude  at  Buck- 
nell, he  had  time  to  lead  Cap  and  Dagger  and  the 
University  Band;  in  1923-24  he  was  Alumni  Secre- 
tary and  Director  of  Publicity.  He  taught  a  decade  or 
more  in  the  English  Department  at  Bucknell  and  was 
called  to  the  University  of  Maryland  in  1935.  Much 
of  his  work  here  has  been  the  direction  of  graduate 
students  in  the  field  of  English.  He  retains  his  con- 
nection with  Maryland  and  will  conduct  a  graduate 
seminar  along  with  the  duties  of  his  new  position. 
He  has  done  summer  lecturing  at  a  number  of  Amer- 
ican universities  and  during  1941  was  lecturer  on 
Contemporary  Literature  at  George  Washington 
University.  Warfel  is  married  to  Ruth  Farquhar,  '19, 
who  has  carried  the  heavy  wifely  burden  of  a  writing 
professor  and  has  been  recently  giving  full  time  as 
an  officer  in  the  National  Red  Cross.  They  live  at 
5601  42nd  Avenue,  Hyattsville,  Maryland.

(Continued  from  page  7.) 

spent  one  year  at  Fort  Leonard  Wood  under  General 
Ulysses  Grant  as  assistant  to  General  Noce. 

Later  he  assisted  in  training  the  first  Engineer 
Amphibians  for  invasion.  He  accompanied  his 
brigade  overseas  in  the  summer  of  1942  and  spent 
some  time  in  Scotland  and  England  in  preparation 
for  the  invasion  of  Africa.  Leaving  England  with  his 
convoy,  he  succeeded  in  landing  his  men  at  Oran 
after  a  three-day  battle.  During  the  past  year  he  has 
been  Supply  Officer  near  the  port  and  has  trained  the 
Amphibians  for  their  invasions  of  Sicily  and  Italy, 
working  practically  day  and  night  during  the  winter 
months  in  preparation  for  the  Sicilian  invasion. 
When  last  heard  from,  Brieadier  General  Wolfe  was 
still  in  Africa  at  Fifth  Army  headquarters,  awaiting 
orders  to  proceed  to  Italy.  It  may  be  guessed  that  he 
had  a  big  part  in  the  Italian  campaign. 

General  Wolfe  married  Mary  Tipton  Hicklin  of 
Tennessee  in  1937.  Mrs.  Wolfe  now  lives  in  Wash-

Back  home  again  after  three  Saturdays  on  the 
road,  the  Sitarskymen  outpointed  a  stubborn  Lake- 
hurst  Naval  team,  13  to  0.  Once  again  it  was  Hew- 
son, who  caught  an  aerial  from  Hubka,  who  regis- 
tered the  initial  touchdown.  Thrice  in  the  second 
quarter  the  Bison  line  held  the  Blimps  for  downs  in- 
side the  five-yard  stripe.  Johnson  added  the  clinching 
touchdown  in  the  fourth  quarter. 

Case's  Rough  Riders  threw  a  scare  into  Bucknell, 
but  the  Herd  racked  up  its  fourth  straight  conquest, 
19  to  13.  Case  scored  first  when  Halfback  Bill  Lund 
intercepted  a  Kostynick  pass  and  raced  85  yards 
down  the  sideline  for  a  touchdown.  In  the  second 
quarter  Johnson  tallied  two  touchdowns  for  the 
Bisons;  on  one  53-yard  touchdown  march  the  big 
redhead  carried  the  ball  every  inch  of  the  way.  The 
decisive  six-pointer  was  added  by  Hubka,  who 
sprinted  47  yards  for  a  score  early  in  the  final  period.

An  interesting  item  in  the  by-laws  of  the  club  is 
that  the  annual  dues  provide  for  a  subscription  to 
The  Bucknellian  for  each  member.  The  club  will 
meet  monthly,  the  next  meeting  being  January  10.

A  SERIES  of  five  conferences  on  human  values, 
^/~L  held  with  the  cooperation  of  youth  from  the 
different  regions  of  the  world,  has  been  instituted 
this  year  by  the  Bucknell  University  Christian  Asso- 
ciation. 

On  November  12,  13,  and  14  the  program  was  led 
by  five  delegates  from  Africa,  including  Miss  Dharis 
Martin,  whose  book,  "I  Know  Tunisia,"  is  a  best- 
seller; Mr.  Ako  Adjei,  a  journalist  of  the  Gold 
Coast;  and  Miss  Evelyn  Diggs  of  Liberia.  Of  the 
30  sessions,  25  were  held  as  a  part  of  the  classroom 
work. 

It  is  the  purpose  of  the  series  to  bring  to  the 
campus  youth  leaders  from  those  countries  and  areas 
of  the  world  where  American  leadership  is  already 
being  exercised  and  to  attempt  to  understand  the 
people  and  points  of  view.  This  basic  understanding 
is  needed  both  in  the  prosecution  of  the  war  and  in 
the  years  to  follow. 

A  conference  with  a  group  of  Latin  American  stu- 
dents was  held  in  October.  Other  areas  of  the  world 
to  be  represented  in  subsequent  conferences  will  be 
Southeast  Asia  in  January,  China  in  March,  with 
Europe  and  Russia  in  April. 

Both  students  and  faculty  members  have  been  en- 
thusiastic about  the  results  thus  far.  Emphasis  is  put 
on  the  informal  relationships  in  dorms  and  in 
campus  life.  Very  few  special  meetings  are  arranged. 
The  facilities  of  existing  meetings  are  utilized.  This 
program  at  Bucknell  this  year  is  unique  among  the 
colleges  and  is  being  watched  closely  by  other  col- 
leges and  agencies.  The  cooperation  of  many  gov- 
ernmental, church  and  private  agencies  has  been 
helpful. 


Perhaps  you'd  like  to  frame  the  cover  picture.  It  is  a 
view  over  the  men's  gymnasium  taken  from  the  flower 
garden  in  front  of  the  Vaughan  Literature  Building.  The

Basketball 

One  of  the  rangiest  and  fastest  Bison  basketball  teams 
in  recent  years  is  playing  a  13-game  schedule,  including 
contests  with  Penn  State,  Villanova,  Lehigh,  and  F.  and  M., 
during  the  winter  months. 

On  the  12-man  squad  are  five  men  towering  above  six 
feet,  two  inches.  They  are  topped  by  Centers  John  Hew- 
son,  6-6;  Paul  Goodwin,  6-5;  and  Bill  Hoeveler,  6-4. 
All  men  on  the  "A"  squad  are  Navy  or  Marine  trainees. 

Double  trouble  for  Bison  foes  will  be  provided  by  Dick 
and  Bob  Reash  of  Waterford,  Ohio,  identical  twins  who 
will  see  much  action  at  forward. 

Alumni  will  be  interested  to  know  that  the  first  game  of 


the  season   resulted 
29  to  26. 


a  victory  over  Penn   State;    score 

Lewisburg  Alumnae  Club  Elects  Officers 

Officers  of  the  Lewisburg  Alumnae  Club  were  elected  at 
a  dinner  meeting  recently  at  the  Lewisburg  Inn.  Mrs. 
Eugene  F.  Marsh  was  elected  president,  succeeding  Mrs. 
Pearl  Pursley.  Mrs.  Hayes  Person  was  chosen  secretary 
and  Miss  Mary  Thornton  treasurer.  The  club  decided  to 
meet  annually  in  October.  Mrs.  George  M.  Kunkle  was 
named  chairman  of  a  committee  to  plan  for  the  next  meet- 
ing. Mrs.  Earl  Moyer  and  Mrs.  A.  J.  Lauer  were  appointed 
members  of  the  committee. 

Reverend  L.  Elbert  Wilson,  pastor  of  the  Beaver  Memo- 
rial Methodist  Church,  was  the  guest  speaker  at  the  meeting. 
His  subject  was  "Edwin  Markham."  Reverend  Wilson 
knew  Markham  personally  and  had  visited  him  at  his  home 
on  Staten  Island.  The  speaker  played  several  records  of 
recitations  of  Markham's  poems,  including  his  famous 
"The  Man  With  the  Hoe."

The  War  and  Curriculum  Changes 

By  F.  G.  Davis 

At  its  December  meeting,  the  Bucknell  faculty  took 
an  important  step.  At  the  suggestion  of  Dr.  Harry  W. 
Robbins,  head  of  the  department  of  English,  the  faculty 
passed  unanimously  a  resolution  pledging  itself  to  begin 
and  carry  through  a  continuing  study  of  changes  needed  to 
keep  the  University's  service  to  its  students  in  line  with 

Many  mem- 


the  changing  times  and  their  attendant  needs 


bers  of  the  faculty  indicated  that  they  had  been  thinking 
on  these  problems  and  therefore  appreciated  the  opportunity 
to  take  united  action.  It  is  expected  that  intensive  curricu- 
lum study  will  hold  first  place  among  discussions  on  the 
campus  for  the  years  immediately  ahead. 

But  the  committees  to  be  appointed  will  not  be  plowing 
virgin  fields.  For  about  a  year  now  a  group  has  been 
studying  post-war  problems  in  monthly  meetings  at  each 
of  which  a  member  of  the  group  reports  on  some  problem 
of  international  relations.  While  the  group  has  not  been 
large,  its  deliberations  have  been  given  consideration  in  the 
college  press  and  evidently  both  faculty  and  students  have 
been  led  to  give  attention  to  these  pressing  problems. 

But  more  than  international  relations  will  occupy  the  col- 
lege's attention  tomorrow.  Unless  the  war  comes  to  a  sud- 
den close,  a  vast  number  of  young  men  are  coming  back  to 
college  bearing  deep  scars  of  battle.  And  not  all  of  these 
will  be  physical.  Many  a  boy  who  has  been  in  college 
before  and  many  a  one  who  is  planning  to  enter  college  at 
the  end  of  the  war,  will  come  back  less  stable  emotionally 
than  when  he  went  into  his  country's  service.  While  this 
emotional  condition  may  not  be  permanent,  it  will  be  neces- 
sary that  he  be  treated  sympathetically  and  intelligently 
while  he  is  making  his  important  adjustments.  These 
wounds,  both  physical  and  emotional,  will  make  necessary 
new  vocational  and  avocational  approaches  to  life.  What 
shall  the  college  do  about  it?  No  one  can  say  right  now 
except  that  the  college  must  maintain  a  flexible  mind  and 
engage  in  constant  research  and  study  of  the  problems  as 
they  arise.  The  faculty  must  admit  that  no  questions  have 
yet  been  fully  answered.     All  are  yet  to  be  answered. 

Women  coming  to  college  now  and  after  the  war  will 
have  a  considerably  different  future  facing  them.  Many  a 
girl  who  has  expected  to  marry  and  be  a  homekeeper  is 
going  to  have  to  prepare  for  some  other  vocations  for  fewer 
men  will  be  available  for  husbands  after  the  war.  The 
situation  will  approach  that  in  England  after  the  last  war. 
Therefore,  women  now  in  college  and  those  who  will  enter 
later  must  be  conditioned  both  vocationally  and  emotionally 
for  a  type  of  world  they  had  not  expected  to  face. 

The  tremendous  scientific  advances  of  the  war  period,  the 
shrinkage  of  the  world  due  to  radio  and  aviation  and  the 
attendant  need  for  international  cooperation,  these  are  some 
of  the  facts  the  Bucknell  faculty  must  take  into  considera- 
tion  in  planning  for  an  effective  Bucknell   of  tomorrow.

SOUTH  JERSEY  ALUMNI  CLUB 

Early  in  November  the  officers  and 
executive  committee  of  the  South  Jer- 
sey Alumni  Club  held  a  dinner  meet- 
ing to  formulate  plans  for  the  coming 
year.  Another  dinner  meeting  will  be 
held  on  May  5.  Lawrence  M.  Kim-

HARRISBURG  ALUMNI  CLUB 

This  year  the  Harrisburg  Alumni 
Club  is  planning  its  program  a  meet- 
ing or  two  in  advance  instead  of  mak- 
ing up  the  usual  yearly  schedule.  They 
are  fortunate  in  being  able  to  take  ad- 
vantage of  the  fact  that  the  Harrisburg 
Army  Air  Officers  Intelligence  School 
has  many  well  known  and  otherwise 
interesting  people  attending  classes  or 
on  the  staff,  and  have  thus  been  able 
to  acquire  speakers  from  that  source. 
At  the  November  4th  meeting  officers 
were  elected  and  movies  secured  from 
the  Visual-Aid  Library  of  Pennsyl- 
vania State  College  were  shown. 

WASHINGTON  ALUMNI  CLUB 

On  October  29  the  Washington 
Alumni  Club  held  its  first  meeting  of 
the  year  with  49  Bucknellians  sitting 


down  to  dinner.  Harry  R.  Warfel, 
'20,  who  presided,  paid  a  tribute  to 
George  Baldt,  '18,  who  died  during 
his  term  of  office  as  president  of  this 
club.  Captain-President  Marts  re- 
viewed events  on  the  Hill,  and  as 
usual  he  held  the  group  spellbound 
with  his  recital  of  the  progress  the 
University  is  making.  Newly-elected 
officers  are  William  James,  Jr.,  '39, 
President;  Robert  N.  Cook,  '33,  Vice- 
President;  and  Florence  E.  Parmley, 
'27,  Secretary-Treasurer. 

SHAMOKIN  ALUMNI  CLUB 

Shamokin  will  hold  a  meeting  on 
January  7  for  the  purpose  of  organ- 
izing a  Bucknell  Alumni  Club.  The

Greetings  to  the  Alumni: 

When  Roy  G.  Bostwick,  General  Chairman  of  the 
One  Hundredth  Birthday  Gift  Campaign,  made  a 
recent  report  it  showed  that  the  subscriptions  from 
the  Alumni  had  exceeded  the  quota  set  for  them. 
Since  Roy's  report,  94  persons  have  sent  in  contribu- 
tions, 50  of  those  subscriptions  being  $100  or  more. 
This  is  very  gratifying  and  I  hasten  to  offer  con- 
gratulations to  each  and  every  one  of  you.  You 
alumni  certainly  devoted  a  lot  of  time  and  energy  to 
the  campaign  and  it  was  only  through  your  efforts 
that  the  quota  was  exceeded.  Many  thanks.  This 
proves  once  more  that  we  all  think  of  Bucknell  not 
merely  as  an  educational  institution  but  as  a  real  part 
of  our  lives  and  so  closely  related  to  us  that  when  we 
are  asked  to  do  a  job  for  her  we  put  our  whole 
heart  and  soul  into  the  work. 

More  than  $30,000  are  still  to  be  raised,  and  it  is 
comforting  to  know  that  you  are  continuing  to  roll 
up  the  excess  over  your  quota. 

I  have  noted  numerous  newspaper  articles  about 
Bucknell  boys  in  the  service  who  have  done  heroic 
deeds,  and  many  of  them  have  been  cited  by  our 
Government.  I  have  also  received  a  large  number  of 
letters  from  boys  who  are  stationed  all  over  the 
world,  and  all  speak  of  their  meeting  some  other 
Bucknellian  in  that  far-away  corner  of  the  earth  and 
having  a  real  old-fashioned  "bull-session"  about  the 
"College  on  the  Hill."  They  tell  me  that  the  Uni- 
versity is  doing  a  magnificent  job  of  keeping  them 
informed  of  what  is  going  on  back  on  the  campus. 
What  a  glorious  Homecoming  we  shall  have  at 
Bucknell  when  they  are  all  back  home  once  more! 
Sincerely  yours, 
W.  C.  Lowther,  President, 
General  Alumni  Association.

Dear  Alumni: 

I  want  to  talk  with  you  for  a  few  minutes  about 
the  place  of  alumni  in  the  selective  admissions  pro- 
gram. 

Recently  I  wrote  to  a  number  of  outstanding 
private  colleges  in  the  East,  among  them  Harvard, 
Yale,  Dartmouth,  Brown,  Colgate,  Swarthmore,  Am- 
herst, and  Williams,  to  inquire  about  their  recruiting 
procedures.  All  replied  promptly  and  courteously 
with  about  the  information  I  expected,  to  wit,  that 
very  little  recruiting  is  done  other  than  that  by  alumni 
as  individuals  and  clubs.  In  some  cases  a  student  is 
not  admitted  until  he  has  been  recommended  by  the 
local  alumni  club.  One  institution  has  followed  for 
twenty  years  the  practice  of  having  prospective  stu- 
dents meet  with  alumni  interviewing  committees  in 
private  homes.  Another  relies  on  alumni  clubs  to 
keep  the  rolls  full.  Some  clubs  offer  local  scholar- 
ships and  attempt  to  secure  publicity  in  local  schools. 
Each  club  of  one  institution's  alumni  throughout  the 
country  has  a  scholarship  committee  which  answers 
questions  about  the  character  and  personal  record  the 
college  desires  to  investigate.  One  institution  does 
no  recruiting  but  sends  a  representative  to  interview 
persons  who  have  applied  for  admission.  This  same 
college  finds  alumni  very  helpful  in  recommending 
students  and  in  explaining  the  situation  to  disap- 
pointed students  who  might  have  been  accepted  if 
competition  for  admission  had  been  less  keen. 

The  Bucknell  recruiting  program  at  present  in- 
cludes, besides  alumni  activities,  sending  informa- 
tional materials  to  prospective  students,  sending  rep- 
resentatives to  so-called  "College  Nights,"  showing 
the  film,  "Bucknell  Marches  On,"  to  groups  of  col- 
lege preparatory  students  and  their  parents,  and  ar- 
ranging for  interviews  with  prospective  students  in 
the  larger  centers.  Wherever  possible  I  shall  be  glad 
to  bring  the  film,  "Bucknell  Marches  On,"  for  show- 
ing in  reasonably  large  schools  or  in  centers  where 
pupils  from  a  number  of  schools  may  come  together. 

Our  alumni  are  responsible  for  sending  many  stu- 
dents to  the  University,  and  the  number  is  increas- 
ing. We  believe  that  you  take  seriously  the  idea  that 
Bucknell,  after  all,  consists  of  trustees,  faculty,  stu- 
dents, and  alumni,  and  that  the  alumni  constitute  by 
far  the  largest  and  most  influential  group. 

It  is  not  the  intention  in  this  discussion  to  ask  you 
to  assume  all  responsibility  for  keeping  Bucknell's 
classrooms  filled.  Naturally,  that  must  rest  finally  in 
the  Office  of  the  Director  of  Admissions.  It  is 
proper,  however,  to  remind  you  that  Bucknell  travels 


in  the  best  company  among  private  colleges — institu- 
tions whose  alumni  are  proud  to  feel  that  Alma 
Mater  will  continue  to  grow  and  serve  only  through 
the  success,  the  interest,  and  the  enthusiastic  coop- 
eration of  her  children.  It  is  also  of  interest  to  tell 
you  that  our  applicants  each  year  greatly  exceed  the 
number  we  can  admit.  This  enables  us  to  select  our 
students  carefully. 

A  few  of  our  alumni  leaders  have  spoken  to  me 
about  the  possibilities  of  their  clubs'  entering  more 
actively  into  the  recruiting  program.  I  need  not  tell 
you  that  their  suggestions  were  appreciated.  We  be- 
lieve that  the  sending  of  a  fine  body  of  freshmen  to 
the  University  each  year  is  a  project  into  which  our 
entire  alumni  body  will  enter  with  enthusiasm. 
Bucknell  means  much  in  your  lives.  Therefore,  the 
constant  improvement  of  Alma  Mater  means  con- 
stant enrichment  of  the  lives  of  alumni.  Surely  you 
have  a  number  of  good  ideas  to  contribute  on  this 
subject.  Won't  you  let  me  have  them  by  return  mail. 

How  would  the  topic,  "Recruiting  a  Fine  Fresh- 
man Class  for  Bucknell,"  suit  you  for  discussion  at 
an  early  club  meeting?  Out  of  such  cooperative 
thinking  will  come  valuable  ideas.  Not  all  of  you, 
however,  are  able  to  attend  meetings  in  these  days  of 
travel  rationing.  Don't  let  this  fact  dull  your  en- 
thusiasm for  this  job.  Send  to  the  Admissions  Office 
names  and  addresses  of  young  people  whom  you 
would  be  proud  to  call  Bucknellians.  Naturally,  it 
will  be  hard  to  refuse  to  admit  a  student  who  knocks 
at  our  door  through  the  loyalty  and  devotion  of  an 
alumnus.  Therefore,  we  request  that,  before  making 
your  recommendation,  you  be  convinced  of  the  can- 
didate's high  intellectual  and  moral  caliber. 

If  you  believe  alumni  should  be  more  active  in 
sending  high-grade  students  to  Bucknell,  won't  you 
sit  down  at  once  and  write  your  suggestions. 

With  best  wishes  for  you  in  the  days  ahead,  I  am 
Sincerely  yours, 

Frank  G.  Davis, 
Acting  Alumni  Secretary  and 
Acting  Director  of  Admissions.

yf  NUMBER  of  you  are  in  the  habit  of  send-

to  Bucknellians.  It  is  a  fine  habit  and  we  hope  more 
will  fall  into  it.  We  scan  the  newspapers  which  we 
receive,  but  of  course  we  miss  a  lot  of  items  that  at 
least  one  alumnus  reads.    Thanks.

acies." While  these  young  people  have  entered  col- 
lege at  a  time  markedly  different  from  the  times  in 
which  their  parents  entered,  they  all  seem  to  be  im- 
bued with  the  same  old  spirit  of  loyalty  to  Bucknell. 
Perhaps  they  brought  it  with  them.

Dear  Bucknellians: 

In  March  I  appointed  three 
committees  of  the  Faculty  and  Ad- 
ministration to  make  recommenda- 
tions concerning  plans  which  we  will 
be  formulating  at  Bucknell  for  the 
post-war  years.  The  initial  meeting 
of  these  committees  was  held  in 
Washington  where  we  could  have 
the  counsel  and  guidance  of  three 
men  of  national  prominence  in  the 
educational  world.  A  report  of  this 
meeting  is  given  in  this  issue  of  the 
Alumni  Monthly. 

These  committees  have  gone  at 
their  appointed  work  with  energy 
and  zeal.  Preliminary  reports  have 
been  made  to  me,  and  the  next  steps 
are  being  considered  and  planned. 

In  these  plans  we  are  thinking 
in  the  first  instance  of  hundreds  of 
Bucknellians  now  in  war  service  who  will,  we  hope  and  believe,  return  to  their  Alma 
Mater  to  complete  their  college  educations  after  victory  has  been  won.  We  are  anxious 
that  they  shall  return  to  a  Bucknell  Campus  which  is  alive  to  their  educational  needs, 
and  prepared  to  help  them  resume  their  training  without  loss  of  time  or  motion. 

We  are  thinking,  also,  of  the  longer  years  ahead,  and  are  endeavoring  to  set  in 
motion  dynamic  plans  which  will  carry  Bucknell  forward  in  the  van  of  American  Col- 
leges,— always  true  to  the  Bucknell  tradition  which  is  one  of  your  richest  memories 
and  heritages. 

Best  wishes  to  you  all — wherever  each  of  you  may  be! 


Arnaud  C.  Marts.

/N  THE  first  late-February  commencement  in  the 
history  of  Bucknell,  G.  Willard  Smith.  President 
of  the  New  England  Mutual  Life  Insurance  Com- 
pany, spoke  to  the  70  graduates  on  the  subject,  "The 
Economic  Outlook  in  the  Post-War  World," 

The  speaker  emphasized  the  element  of  character 
in  the  solution  of  post-war  problems.  "We  have  the 
men,  the  weapons,  and  the  will  to  win  the  war.  but 
we  must  cultivate  the  tolerance,   the  unselfishness, 


and  the  understanding  to  win  the  peace.  When  I  say 
'peace,'  I  mean  not  only  the  enduring  peace  which  we 
hope  will  come  later  but  also  that  involved  period 
following  the  cessation  of  hostilities  when  each  na- 
tion will  try  to  strengthen  its  position  in  the  world 
picture." 

"In  our  new  economy,  competition  will  act  as  a 
spur  to  better  methods,  larger  production,  and 
cheaper  prices,"  he  declared.  "Business  leaders  know 
that  full  employment  must  be  a  post-war  goal.  They 
are  pledged  to  give  their  full  efforts  to  this  end." 

He  suggested  that  American  technical  advances 
might  "play  an  unselfish  part  in  the  reconstruction 
of  the  post-war  world  if  we  allow  other  countries  to

John  Maitland  Hopwi 


m  BUGKflQI  TRUSTEE  IS 


£/OHN  MAITLAND  HOPWOOD  was  elected 
qJ  a  trustee  of  Bucknell  University  at  the  Decem- 
ber meeting  of  the  Board  of  Trustees. 

Mr.  Hopwood  is  president  of  the  Hagan  Corpora- 
tion, Hall  Laboratories,  Inc.,  The  Buromin  Com- 
pany, Combustion  and  Chemical  Engineering  Cor- 
poration, and  Calgon,  Inc. — all  engaged  in  the  com- 
bustion and  chemical  engineering  field.  He  is  a  direc- 
tor of  the  Main  Aeronautics  Company  and  president 
of  the  Board  of  Trustees  of  Shadyside  Hospital. 

He  was  born  in  England  in  1883-  He  came  to 
America  when  a  young  man  and  became  a  natural- 
ized citizen.  His  first  job  was  with  a  Pennsylvania 
coal  mining  company  as  an  engineer  and  electrician, 
then  with  a  Pennsylvania  power  company  as  super- 
intendent of  construction.  About  twenty-five  years 
ago  he  started  in  business  for  himself  and  has  be- 
come an  outstanding  success. 

Mr.  Hopwood  is  particularly  adapted  to  the  new 
work  he  has  assumed  as  trustee  of  Bucknell.  He  is 
interested  in  young  people,  his  companies  giving 
much  time  and  money  to  the  development  of  young 
men  and  women  concerned  with  creative  work. 

His  home  is  at  58  Hoodridge  Drive,  Mount  Leb- 
anon, Pennsylvania.

(f~>°HE  occasional  alumnus  who  returns  to  the 
\_J  campus  today  sees  a  sight  that  rests  the  eyes. 
Between  the  Charles  P.  Vaughan  Literature  Build- 
ing and  the  quadrangle  there  is  an  array  of  forsythia 
in  ks  richest  coloring.  Every  campus  tree  seems  to 
feel  a  surge  of  life  and  the  tender  leaves  are  literally 
tumbling  out,  building  that  canopy  which  has  shel- 
tered so  many  youths  and  maidens  for  nearly  a  cen- 
tury. Skirting  those  spots  where  each  spring  Nature 
spreads  out  carpets  of  bluets,  men  are  beginning  to 
mow  the  hillsides — not  too  easy  a  job  with  the 
obstreperous  hand  machine,  but  the  results  are  grat- 
ifying. The  lawns  begin  to  resemble  the  deep  green 
carpets  which  you  sink  into  when  you  enter  "the  de- 
partment store  of  distinction."  In  the  early  evening, 
the  Hill  is  dotted  with  friendly  couples  for  the  too 
few  minutes  before  the  7:15  call  to  study.  On  sunny 
days  the  athletic  ground  in  front  of  old  Loomis  Gym 
accommodates  a  hundred  or  more  girls  at  a  time,  in 
their  blue  suits  and  white  sweaters,  playing  soft  ball, 
golf,  field  hockey,  tennis,  and  archery.  Out  beyond 
Seventh  Street  the  numerous  tennis  courts  are  oc- 
cupied. Men  are  busy  on  the  broad  playing  fields 
either  at  games  or  at  strenuous  physical  education 
activities.  A  few,  when  they  have  a  little  extra  time, 
are  to  be  seen  beating  the  elusive  small  white  ball 
around  the  golf  course. 

Three  times  a  day  the  Navy  and  Marine  trainees 
line  up  to  be  marched  down  the  Hill  to  "chow";  and 
they're  a  healthy  lot.  When  we  meet  numbers  of 
them  at  Guy's  between  9:30  and  10:00  P.M.,  they 
are  usually  buying  pint  bottles  of  chocolate  milk, 
freshly-made  sandwiches,  ice  cream,  or  other  foods 
right  in  vitamins.  Any  parent  who  may  worry  about 
how  "Son"  is  faring  physically  may  sleep  soundly. 
He's  doing  fine. 

Bucknell's  population  at  present  consists  of: 
Women,  556;    Civilians,  150;   Navy  V-12  Train- 
ees, 551. 

Of  the  V-12  group,  161  were  sent  from  the  fleet. 
Every  man  has  had  Navy  experience  from  10y2 
months  to  5l/>  years.  A  number  have  been  wounded; 
one  man  has  made  12  sorties  over  Germany;  another, 
one  of  the  officers,  served  on  Guadalcanal  for  2l/> 
years.  It  is  evident  that  this  group  has  had  some 
interesting  experiences.  Here  is  an  illustration, 
clipped  from  a  metropolitan  newspaper — and  it's 
authentic: 

Lewisburg,  Pa.,  April  3  (AP) — There's  a  new 
occupational  hazard  for  college  professors  these 
days. 

A  Bucknell  University  pedagogue  was  reading 
an  account  of  the  sinking  of  an  aircraft  carrier —

f 


^IGNAL  distinction  came  to  two  Bucknell  faculty 
Qj  members  recently.  Books  written  by  them  have 
been  chosen  by  the  Armed  Forces  Institute  for  use  in 
the  elaborate  educational  program  that  has  been  set 
up  for  men  in  service.  The  professors  involved  are 
Dr.  Meyer  F.  Nimkoff,  Head  of  the  Department  of 
Sociology,  and  Dr.  Clarence  H.  Richardson,  Head  of 
the  Department  of  Mathematics. 

Dr.  Nimkoff's  book,  "Sociology,"  by  Ogburn  and 
Nimkoff,  is  by  far  the  most  used  introductory  text- 
book in  sociology  in  the  country,  between  500  and 
600  colleges  and  universities  having  adopted  it.  The 
first  order  coming  from  the  Armed  Forces  Institute 
calls  for  25,000  copies.  Dr.  William  F.  Ogburn,  co- 
author of  the  book,  is  Head  of  the  Department  of 
Sociology  in  the  University  of  Chicago.  It  is  of  more 
than  passing  interest  that,  previous  to  the  publication 
of  this  unusual  book,  the  book  that  had  held  the 
position  of  leadership  for  several  years  was  one  of 
which  Dr.  Robert  L.  Sutherland,  then  head  of  the 
Bucknell  Department  of  Sociology,  was  the  senior 
author. 

Dr.  Richardson's  contribution  to  the  Armed  Forces 
educational  program  is  "Statistical  Analysis,"  first 
published  by  Harcourt,  Brace  and  Company  in  1934 
and  revised  in  1944.  The  book  is  widely  used 
throughout  the  country  and  has  had  the  honor  of 
being  chosen  as  the  basic  text  for  the  examination  in 
statistics  by  the  Actuarial  Society  of  America  and  the 
American  Institute  of  Actuaries.  While  the  usual 
procedure  is  for  the  Armed  Forces  Institute  to  revise 
books  so  chosen,  "Statistical  Analysis,"  as  well  as 
"Sociology,"  is  being  published  intact.  Dr.  Richard- 
son has  prepared,  at  the  request  of  Dr.  Spaulding's 


Dr.  Meyer  F.  Nimkoff 

organization,  an  "Assignment  List"  with  pedagogical 
suggestions  to  assist  the  instructors  who  will  use  the 
text.    The  first  order  is  for  15,000  copies. 

The  USAFI,  which  has  chosen  the  above  texts,  is 
an  organization  set  up  jointly  by  the  War  and  Navy 
Departments  and  the  American  Council  on  Educa- 
tion. It  is  headed  by  Dr.  Francis  T.  Spaulding,  Dean 
of  the  School  of  Education  of  Harvard  University. 
Its  chief  task  is  that  of  formulating  a  system  of  non- 
military  education  for  men  in  the  Armed  Forces,  both 
at  home  and  overseas.  "This  will  consist  principally 
of  instructional  material,  prepared  for  the  use  of  in- 
structors and  soldiers  and  aimed  primarily  at  increas- 
ing the  employability  of  the  individual  soldier. 
Schools  will  be  set  up  within  each  regiment  and 
manned  by  the  best  qualified  personnel." 

The  distinction  that  is  brought  to  Bucknell  by 
these  choices  is  not  lessened  by  the  fact  that  of  the 
more  than  1,500  colleges  in  the  country  only  a  very 
few  will  be  honored  by  as  much  as  one  selection. 
Significant,  also,  is  the  method  by  which  these  books 
were  selected.  In  order  that  the  choices  might  bear 
no  taint  of  favoritism,  the  books  were  chosen  by  vote 
of  large  numbers  of  professors  in  these  fields,  and  in 
any  subject  only  one  book  is  adopted.

^y/j.  only"  is  the  law.  But  even  this  barrier  is  be- 
ing broken  down,  and  the  Bucknell  woman  who  has 
done  most  to  assist  in  this  onslaught  is  Emma  Dillon, 
'15.  In  addition  to  being  a  successful  woman  lawyer, 
Miss  Dillon  has  been  active  in  the  American  Bar 
Association  and  the  New  Jersey  Bar  Association.  Of 
the  latter  she  has  been  secretary  for  the  past  decade. 

Born  in  Trenton  and  always  a  resident  there,  Miss 
Dillon  began  her  interest  in  public  affairs  while  a 
student  in  the  Trenton  High  School.  She  brought 
that  interest  with  her  to  Bucknell  and,  while  earn- 
ing a  Bachelor  of  Arts  degree,  took  all  the  law 
courses  available  during  a  brief  stay  of  slightly  over 
three  years,  graduating  magna  cum  laude  with  some 
additional  credits  toward  a  master's  degree.  After 
graduation  she  taught  school,  worked  in  the  account- 
ing department  of  the  Pennsylvania  Railroad  Repair 
Shops  at  Trenton,  and  shortly  became  chief  file  clerk. 
Since  this  work  required  technical  knowledge,  she 
went  out  into  the  shops  and  got  that  knowledge. 
From  this  position  she  was  chosen  head  of  the  Eng- 
lish Department  in  Rider  College.  Leaving  this  work 
because  of  a  throat  difficulty,  she  became  a  public 
stenographer.  Here  chance  associated  her  with  a 
lawyer,  who  encouraged  her  to  study  law.  She 
passed  the  New  Jersey  bar  examination  in  1926,  en- 
tered active  practice,  and  passed  the  counselor's  ex- 
amination in  1929- 

Miss  Dillon  has  been  active  on  a  number  of  com- 
mittees of  the  American  Bar  Association,  for  two 
years  having  been  chairman  of  the  Committee  of 


Secretaries  of  the  Bar  Activities  Section.  She  was  the 
third  woman  to  be  appointed  a  Special  Master  in 
Chancery  of  New  Jersey  (1935),  the  first  woman  to 
be  appointed  a  Supreme  Court  Commissioner 
(1936),  and  was  admitted  to  practice  before  the 
United  States  Supreme  Court  (1937). 

Miss  Dillon  was  instrumental  in  founding  the 
New  Jersey  State  Federation  of  Women's  Clubs, 
held  several  offices  in  it,  and  was  president  from 
1941  to  1943.  She  was  one  of  the  organizers  of  the 
Women's  State  Republican  Club  of  New  Jersey. 
She  has  been  and  is  active  in  Bucknell  Alumni  cir- 
cles, being  now  vice-president  of  the  Executive  Com- 
mittee. She  is  engaged  in  many  activities  of  a  com- 
munity and  welfare  nature.  Incidentally,  she  is  a 
busy  lawyer,  having  a  large  general  practice  includ- 
ing most  areas  except  criminal  law.  Her  offices  are 
in  the  Broad  Street  Bank  Building,  Trenton.

/NTEREST  in  Bucknell's  Prepayment  Plan, 
whereby  parents  may  ease  the  burden  of  their 
children's  college  bills  by  placing  on  deposit  at  the 
University  funds  earmarked  now  for  use  later  in  pay- 
ing the  costs  of  educating  their  sons  and  daughters, 
continues  to  grow  daily,  according  to  Dayton  L. 
Ranck,  Bucknell  treasurer. 

Mr.  Ranck  announced  that  during  the  past  year  an 
increasing  number  of  Bucknellians  have  opened  ac- 
counts for  their  children. 

For  the  benefit  of  those  who  missed  the  earlier 
announcements,  Mr.  Ranck  summarized  the  vital 
points  of  the  Prepayment  Plan  as  follows: 

1.  The  University  offers  to  receive  at  any  time 
amounts  of  any  size  to  be  held  as  prepayment  for  a 
student's  education. 

2.  Net  earned  interest  on  these  deposits  will  be 
credited  annually  to  the  depositor's  account. 

3.  Money  deposited  for  this  purpose  may  be  with- 
drawn in  the  event  that  the  student  finds  he  cannot 
come  to  Bucknell.  The  University  is,  of  course, 
under  no  obligation  to  admit  a  student  simply  be- 
cause his  tuition  has  been  prepaid. 

4.  Desirability  of  the  Plan  lies  mainly  in  the  fact 
that  deposits  may  be  made  at  any  time,  and  built  up 
gradually,  so  that  relatives  and  friends  of  future 
students  may  thus  ease  their  financial  burden  while 
these  students  are  in  college.

CROSSES  THE  ffllfllOR 

Lieutenant-Commander  Harold  P.  Hallock,  'x27,  sent  the 
Monthly  last  fall  an  interesting  diary  of  a  trip  to  the 
Southwest  Pacific.  The  entire  diary  is  an  interesting  one 
but  it  is  believed  that  the  Alumni  will  especially  enjoy  his 
description  of  the  ceremonies  connected  with  crossing  the 
equator. — Ed. 

eef~~7°INALLY,  we  have  crossed  the  line,  you 
x_/  snivelling  polliwogs.  Or  are  you?  What  a 
day!  The  shellbacks  made  us  wear  our  shirts  back- 
wards the  day  previously  so  we  would  be  discernible 
from  the  old  hands  and  that  they  might  plot  against 
those  who  were  not  in  favor.  At  0900  on  a  warm, 
cloudless  morning  the  mayhem  began.  First,  upon 
the  calling  of  your  name  you  would  confront  the 
court  consisting  of  a  judge  and  old  King  Neptune 
gaily  attired  in  rags  with  homemade  hempen  curls 
and  beard,  his  fair  ( ?)  queen,  and  the  royal  baby 
who,  in  this  case,  was  our  200-pound  toothless  cook, 
clad  only  with  a  diaper.  While  before  the  judge  a 
couple  of  attendants  started  working  on  your  pos- 
terior with  wicked  paddles  and  after  hearing  the 
charges  and  futilely  pleading  for  leniency  (that  was 
as  scarce  as  a  beefsteak),  you  would  be  paddled 
along  to  the  gallows  where  the  barber  performed 
wondrous  jobs — circles,  crosses,  complete  head- 
shaves,  or  just  random  snippings.  Then  with  a  wave 
of  his  hand  the  trip  was  pulled  on  the  chair  and  off 
you  went  into  the  royal  pool,  backwards  and  below 
about  ten  feet.  From  there  the  royal  doctor  admin- 
istered vile  pills,  bitter  mouth  washes,  and  other 
devilment.  The  despatchers  beat  you  from  there  to 
the  tunnel  of  love — sadistic  spot  that  was.  You 
crawled  past  six  butchers  who  walloped  you  along  to 
a  long  canvas  funnel  through  which  you  were  to 
wriggle  while  being  laid  upon  with  shillalahs.  Upon 
emergence  you  found  that  you  had  come  through 
flour,  grease,  lamp  black,  and  oil,  and  had  ground 
into  your  skin  (we  mostly  all  wore  shorts)  this  unat- 
tractive mess.  You  were  then  a  shellback — bruises, 
lacerations,  skinned  knees,  and  all.  It  took  days  to 
wash  the  evidences  away.  Of  course,  the  haircuts 
will  be  reminders  for  days." 


HOLE-IN-ONE 

Professor  Rex  Robinson  of  the  Speech  Depart- 
ment made  a  bole-in-one  on  the  Bucknell  Golf  Course 
recently,  the  second  in  the  history  of  the  course.

Amorita  Sesinger  Copeland 

BUMEL  Iff!  LEADS 


/^)H  AIRMAN  of  Salvage  of  the  American  Wom- 
\_j  en's  Volunteer  Services  for  Greater  New 
York."  That's  the  imposing  title  of  the  former 
Amorita  Sesinger,  '22,  Music  '26,  now  Mrs.  Charles 
E.  Copeland.  That  she  is  doing  her  job  efficiently  is 
the  belief  of  all  the  members  of  the  Metropolitan 
Alumni  Club,  who  heard  her  describe  her  work  at  the 
April  14  meeting.  Here  the  element  of  surprise  was 
dominant,  for  she  showed  samples  of  articles,  from 
demolition  bomb  cases  to  parachutes  capable  of  car- 
rying a  100-pound  weight,  made  entirely  of  paper. 
To  this  important  service,  which  she  does  on  a  volun- 
teer basis,  Mrs.  Copeland  brings  a  wealth  of  varied 
and  pertinent  experience.  She  heads  1,845  AWVS 
volunteers  through  the  medium  of  130  salvage  depots 
scattered  throughout  the  five  boroughs  of  New  York 
City.  In  addition  to  her  administrative  duties,  much 
of  her  time  is  given  to  the  delivery  of  public  ad- 
dresses on  the  subject  of  salvage,  both  from  platform 
and  radio,  and  her  work  brings  her  into  direct  con- 
tact with  the  War  Production  Board,  under  whose 
direction  all  the  salvage  projects  are  conducted. 

Immediately  after  Pearl  Harbor,  Mrs.  Copeland 
joined  the  organization  which  she  now  heads.  She 
looked  ahead  and  saw  what  an  important  place  sal- 
vage was  going  to  hold  in  this  war.  Perhaps  watch- 
ing the  Japanese  carting  off  the  remains  of  the  Sixth 
Avenue  Subway  may  have  emphasized  the  impres- 
sion. But  there  was  another  side  to  her  personal  pic- 
ture of  salvage — that  of  the  prevention  of  waste.

HOW  fRESMin  GIRLS  flfif 
OR1TED  IfllO  1  BUOfflEL 


In  order  that  Alumni  may  be  able  to  tell  prospective  girl 
students  what  they  may  expect  in  the  way  of  counseling 
help  when  they  come  to  Bucknell,  Mrs.  Dorothy  T.  Dyer, 
Dean  of  Women,  has  been  asked  to  write  a  statement  of 
the  counseling  program.  We  are  glad  to  present  this 
article. — Ed. 


(^~~T  OR  several  years  upperclass  women  have  been 
Jj  selected  to  help  with  the  adjustment  and 
counseling  of  the  freshman  women.  This  year  the 
following  girls  have  been  chosen  to  serve  for  the 
coming  summer  and  fall  terms:  Jean  Cober,  Lee 
Dillon,  Anne  Gerhard,  Elaine  Greene,  Margaret 
Gurnee,  Anne  Kloss,  Betty  Miller,  Karine  Nelson, 
Jacklyn  Novikoff,  Eutha  Richter,  Elizabeth  Scotch- 
mer,  Dorothy  Stolzenberg,  Ruthanne  Studebaker, 
Margaret  Thompson,  Adele  Weaver,  Gallena  Wise- 
haupt,  Norma  White,  and  Patricia  Whittan. 

Counselors  are  chosen  with  three  basic  things  in 
mind.  First,  they  must  have  already  demonstrated 
their  loyalty  to  the  attitudes  and  ideals  of  Bucknell 
through  their  campus  activities  and  citizenship;  sec- 
ond, they  must  be  sufficiently  interested  in  the  coun- 
seling program  to  make  time  in  their  schedules  for 
the  work;  and,  third,  they  must  be  girls  whose  per- 
sonality and  character  traits  are  such  that  freshmen 
will  react  favorably  to  them  and  rapport  can  be  easily 
established  and  maintained. 

The  work  of  the  counselors  begins  through  cor- 
respondence with  the  freshmen  before  they  arrive  on 
the  campus.  Letters  and  a  copy  of  "Notes  from  Your 
Counselor,"  a  summary  of  information  written  by 
the  counselor,  goes  to  each  new  girl  so  that  she  has 
already  found  a  student  friend  who  will  be  waiting 
for  her  when  she  arrives  on  the  campus.  The  coun- 
selors arrive  early  for  Freshman  Week,  meet  their 
counselees,  and  help  them  get  settled  and  acquainted. 
Since  1940  freshman  women  have  occupied  Larison 
Hall  and  several  of  the  smaller  houses.  A  student 
counselor  lives  with  her  group  of  counselees. 

With  the  starting  of  classes  the  work  of  the  coun- 
selor really  begins.  In  the  past,  several  all-freshman 
meetings  have  been  arranged  by  the  counselors  to 
acquaint  the  new  girls  with  the  Student  Government 
program,  "correctiquette,"  sorority  rushing,  etc. 
Smaller  informal  group  sessions  are  a  most  valuable 
part  of  the  program  where  girls  learn  that  most 
problems  are  not  unique  or  peculiar  to  them  alone. 


Mutual  sharing  of  ideas  and  solutions  to  problems 
helps  to  create  confidence,  fellowship,  and  good  ad- 
justment. 

The  counselors  realize  that  they  have  neither  the 
training  nor  the  experience  to  answer  all  the  ques- 
tions which  come  to  them.  They  must  know  to 
whom  to  refer  problems  which  are  complicated  and 
specialized.  Mrs.  Dyer,  Dean  of  Women,  works  very 
closely  with  the  counselors  as  a  group  and  as  individ- 
uals, helping  them  to  solve  the  problems  which 
arise  with  the  girls  assigned  to  them. 

Personal,  social,  and  study  problems  are  often 
easily  and  skillfully  handled  by  the  counselors  who 
are  close  to  the  situation.  Students  with  special  study 
problems  are  given  individual  help.  Often  a  talk 
with  the  professor  and  tutorial  help  are  sufficient  aid 
in  helping  to  direct  energy  and  ability  to  satisfactory 
achievement.  Interest,  personality,  and  aptitude  test- 
ing is  available  for  those  uncertain  in  vocational  aim 
and  in  need  of  discovering  more  about  their  abilities. 
The  student  counselor  directs  students  with  such 
problems  to  the  Dean  of  Women  and  the  academic 
advisor. 

The  girls  chosen  to  act  as  counselors  feel  that 
while  it  is  an  honor  to  be  selected  it  also  carries  very 
real  responsibilities.  Many  girls  have  said,  "Being  a 
counselor  is  the  most  rewarding  experience  I  have 
ever  had.  I  have  never  learned  so  much  about  peo- 
ple in  so  short  a  time."  In  many  cases  this  experience 
has  figured  directly  in  a  girl's  employment  oppor- 
tunity after  college.  Friendships  formed  between  the 
counselor  and  her  freshman  girls  usually  continue 
throughout  college  and  often  beyond,  thus  strength- 
ening the  Bucknell  ties.

ATLANTIC  CITY 

The  Atlantic  City  Club  is  marking 
time  until  the  Armed  Forces  release 
some  of  the  hotels  in  that  vicinity  and 
gasoline  restrictions  are  somewhat  re- 
laxed, since  most  of  the  members  have 
considerable  distances  to  drive.  The 
club  is  alive  and  chafing  at  the  bit. 
Robert  K.  Bell,  '20,  is  president. 

CHICAGO 

The  Chicago  Club  held  a  dinner  at 
the  Quadrangle  Club,  March  23.  Dr. 
H.  S.  Everitt,  '12,  presided.  Dr.  H.  L. 
Shattuck  of  the  Chicago  Historical  So- 
ciety, who  had  been  scheduled  to 
speak,  was  unable  to  be  present  on 
account  of  illness.  In  his  absence,  Dr. 
A.  R.  E.  Wyant  led  a  general  discus- 
sion on  historic  things  worth  keeping 
in  our  American  way  of  life.  Officers 
elected  were  Dr.  A.  R.  E.  Wyant,  '92, 
president,  and  Mrs.  Josephine  Han- 
kins  Wolfe,  '09,  secretary.  Another

area. 

HARRISBURG 

The  Harrisburg  Club  meets  regu- 
larly the  first  Thursday  of  each  month 
and  presents  an  interesting  program. 
The  Club  advertises  "No  dues,  no  in- 
itiations, no  voting  on  members.  Noth- 
ing but  interesting  dinner  meetings 
which  are  enjoyed  by  all."  At  the 
March  meeting  an  interesting  talk  on 
"Trees"  was  given  by  Mr.  William  E. 
Montgomery,  followed  by  a  question- 
and-answer  session.  Lieutenant  Arthur

The  Pittsburgh  Club  held  a  gala 
meeting  on  December  23.  Lt.  L.  Fran- 
cis Lybarger,  '28,  was  present  and 
spoke  to  the  group.  Edward  G.  Wil- 
liams, '25,  executive  in  the  advertising 
department  of  the  Gulf  Oil  Corpora- 
tion, presented  busts  of  the  late  John 


Howard  Harris  and  President  Marts  to

his  ability  in  modeling,  which  he  pur- 
sues as  an  avocation.  The  portrait 
busts  were  gratefully  received  and  in 
turn  presented  to  the  University.  Roy 
G.  Bostwick,  '05,  President  of  the 
Board  of  Trustees,  accepted  them  on 
behalf  of  Bucknell.

standing  Pittsburgh  industrialist  and 
business  leader,  elected  to  the  Board 
of  Trustees  in  December,  was  present- 
ed by  John  T.  Shirley,  'x09,  another 
member  of  the  board.  He  responded 
briefly  to  the  introduction. 

The  club  held  a  meeting  on  Feb-

SHAMOKIN 

The  Shamokin  group  which  had 
been  a  part  of  the  Mount  Carmel  Club, 
deciding  that  it  wished  to  be  more  ac- 
tive in  the  local  community,  met  on 
January  21,  1944,  and  organized  the 
Shamokin  Bucknell  Alumni  Club. 

Trennie  E.  Eisley,  '31,  Director  of 
Publicity  at  Bucknell,  "subbed"  for  the 
Acting  Alumni  Secretary,  who  was 
down  with  the  "flu."  She  gave  them  a 
vivid  picture  of  the  Bucknell  of  1944 
and  an  enjoyable  time  was  reported. 
Sixteen  persons  were  present,  an  excel- 
lent showing  for  these  days. 

F.  F.  Reamer,  '21,  who  had  arranged 
for  the  meeting,  was  elected  president;-

£7,T\HEN  the  Metropolitan  Alumni  Club  met  in 
\SU New  York  on  April  15,  it  heard  a  Bucknell- 
ian  who  has  grown  rapidly  into  a  position  of  out- 
standing importance  in  our  Armed  Services.  He  is 
Chaplain  (Colonel)  C.  Irving  Carpenter,  Chief  of 
Chaplains  for  the  U.  S.  Army  Air  Corps.  While 
Colonel  Carpenter  was  not  permitted  to  tell  much 
about  the  work  he  is  doing,  the  group  was  impressed 
with  the  tremendous  importance  of  this  service.  He 
led  them  to  believe  that  a  man  who  could  deliver 
such  a  ringing  message  on  the  problems  of  the  service 
in  which  he  was  engaged  must  be  able  to  inspire  the 
thousands  of  chaplains  under  his  direction.  He  does 
not  believe  that  there  is  any  great  religious  revival 
in  the  trenches.  He  does  see,  however,  the  many 
spiritual  and  moral  problems  the  men  are  facing  in 
the  service  and  the  equally  serious  ones  they  will  face 
when  they  return  to  civil  life.  He  pleaded  for  sym- 
pathetic understanding  on  the  part  of  the  home  folks 
toward  the  attitudes  which  the  boys  might  bring 
back  with  them. 

Colonel  Carpenter  was  graduated  from  Bucknell 
in  1927  with  the  degree  of  A.B.  He  went  to  Drew 
Seminary  for  his  theological  training,  receiving  the 
B.D.  degree  in  1931.  He  filled  pulpits  at  Rehoboth 
Beach,  Delaware,  and  Federalsburg,  Maryland.  He 
was  commissioned  a  chaplain  in  the  U.  S.  Army  in 
1936,  serving  at  Fort  H.  G.  Wright,  New  York; 
Fort  Randolph,  Canal  Zone;  and  Langley  Field, 
Virginia. 

He  has  had  extensive  training  and  experience  in

£T)  UCKNELLIANS  should  feel  especial  interest 
JlJ  in  the  news  dispatches  these  days  that  tell  of 
General  Joseph  Stilwell's  Chinese  Army  and  General 
Frank  Merrill's  American  Rangers,  which  are  slowly 
pushing  the  Japs  back  in  the  Burma  jungle  so  that 
the  Ledo  road  can  be  built  from  Assam  to  connect 
with  the  old  Burma  Road,  thus  opening  the  way  to 
get  more  war  materials  into  China  and  help  the  Chi- 
nese to  press  the  war  against  Japan;  for  in  this  very 
region  one  of  the  founders  of  Bucknell  University 
was  struggling  through  this  same  jungle  a  hundred 
years  ago,  enduring  hardships  fully  as  great  as  those 
faced  by  Wingate's  Chindits  in  this  present  war,  en- 
during captivity,  expecting  momentarily  to  be  killed, 
and  eventually  escaping  with  his  life  after  forcing 
his  way  seven  hundred  miles  up  the  Irrawaddy  River. 

He  was  descending  that  stream  in  a  boat  when 
captured  by  robbers.  Here  is  his  own  account  of  the 
incident.  "I  heard  some  of  the  balls  whiz  past  my 
ears,  others  struck  the  boat,  and  some  fell  in  the 
water.  The  discharge  of  the  volley  was  followed  by 
the  most  piercing  and  horrid  cries.  Before  I  had  suf- 
ficient time  to  recover  from  the  shock  of  their  fire, 
my  boat  was  surrounded  by  the  villainous  robbers 
and  more  than  seventy  spears  encircled  my  body.  I 
was  completely  encased  by  the  steel  points  touching 
me  .  .  .  they  immediately  commenced  stripping  me. 
They  took  my  hat  and  jacket  and  shoes  and  vest.  An 
armed  guard  of  several  men  was  placed  over  me 

Who  was  the  victim  ?  A  man  who  was  to  become 
one  of  Bucknell's  first  trustees.  He  was  one  of  the 
two  men  who  collected  the  initial  endowment  fund 
that  made  the  charter  valid  and  made  it  possible  for 
Bucknell  to  come  into  being.  His  name,  of  course, 
was  Eugenio  Kincaid.  He  was  the  "hero  mission- 
ary" of  the  Baptists. 

Dr.  Lewis  E.  Theiss,  '02,  who  is  writing  the  cen- 
tennial history  of  Bucknell,  has  uncovered  an  aston- 
ishing amount  of  fascinating  material  concerning  not 
only  this  amazing  individual  but  many  others  of  the 
founding  fathers  who  served  the  infant  institution 
with  a  devotion  that  today  seems  almost  impossible. 
Indeed,  as  Dr.  Theiss  shows  in  his  history,  the  cour- 
age and  fortitude  and  determination  displayed  by  the 
men  who  created  the  University  easily  matched  the 
same  qualities  shown  by  the  heroes  of  the  American 
Revolution,  which  had  been  fought  but  two  genera- 
tions before  these  pioneers  in  the  field  of  education 
conceived  and  created  our  beloved  Bucknell.

/y)LANS  are  now  practically  completed  for  the 
J  Bucknell  Summer  School.  There  will  be  a  six- 
teen-week session  in  the  academic  fields,  beginning 
July  3  and  closing  October  21.  This  is  basically  de- 
signed to  meet  the  needs  of  the  trainees  but  is  open 
to  civilian  students  desiring  to  take  the  courses 
offered. 

The  summer  session  for  teachers  and  principals 
in  the  field  of  education  will  get  under  way,  also,  on 
July  3.  It  will  consist  of  one  six-week  session  instead 
of  the  double  session  employed  the  past  two  years. 
As  a  feature  of  the  six-week  program  for  educators, 
Professor  F.  G.  Davis  will  head  a  Guidance  Work- 
shop which  will  train  guidance  workers  both  for 
public  school  posts  and  for  post-war  readjustment 

[18 


counselling  positions.  A  number  of  experts  in  the 
field  of  guidance  are  being  invited  to  assist  in  the 
Workshop. 

For  those  students  at  Bucknell  desiring  some  sum- 
mer work  but  not  wishing  to  come  the  entire  sixteen 
weeks  of  the  academic  session,  the  college  is  offer- 
ing a  limited  number  of  academic  courses  for  eight 
weeks,  starting  August  28.  The  course  in  practice 
teaching  will  begin  on  September  5  and  run  for  the 
months  of  September  and  October.  Students  plan- 
ning to  teach  will  devote  full  time  to  this  one  course 
for  the  eight  weeks. 

Students  interested  in  the  academic  offerings  of 
either  the  eight-  or  sixteen-week  summer  session 
should  communicate  with  Dean  R.  H.  Rivenburg. 
Professor  W.  H.  Sauvain  will  again  be  in  charge  of 
arrangements  for  the  six-week  summer  school  for 
teachers  and  administrators.

Lt.  Col.  John  M.  Snyder 

DR.  JOHO  DL  SnyOfR,  '30, 
UJIOS  IfflDI  Of  IRIT 

"/*~yOR  exceptionally  meritorious  conduct  in  the 

VJ/  performance  of  outstanding  services,"  Lieu- 
tenant Colonel  John  M.  Snyder,  '30,  has  received  the 
Legion  of  Merit  citation  from  headquarters  of  the 
North  African  Theatre  of  Operations. 

The  citation,  issued  by  command  of  General  Eisen- 
hower, pointed  out  that  Lieutenant  Colonel  Snyder, 
chief  of  surgical  service,  from  March  19,  1943,  to 
April  8,  1943,  "worked  unceasingly  at  the  operating 
table  until  exhausted  and  then  after  only  two  hours 
of  rest  would  continue  his  duties. 

"The  fidelity  to  his  task  and  the  calm  and  tenacious 
manner  in  which  he  performed  his  duties  were  a  fine 
example  and  an  inspiration  to  all  with  whom  he 
came  in  contact.  Lieutenant  Colonel  Snyder's  per- 
formance of  duties  exemplifies  the  highest  traditions 
of  military  service." 

The  period  covered  in  the  citation  included  the  bat- 
tles of  El  Guettar  and  Maknassy  when  the  hospital 
was  encamped  first  at  Feriana  and  then  at  Gafsa. 
During  the  El  Guettar  battle  the  hospital  took  care 
of  all  the  casualties.  It  was  supporting  four  Amer- 
ican divisions,  instead  of  one  for  which  it  was  in- 
tended, and  at  the  same  time  receiving  the  casualties 
from  Maknassy. 

Following  the  conclusion  of  the  Tunisian  campaign 
the  hospital  served  general  purposes  until  the  inva- 
sion of  Sicily.  The  hospital  remained  in  Sicily,  serv- 
ing as  an  evacuation  hospital,  until  the  latter  part 
of  November,  1943,  when  the  staff  returned  to  Eng- 
land to  await  further  assignment. 

(Continued  on  page  20.) 


CT^CVTH  a  big  assist  from  the  Navy  V-12  train- 

viZ/ing  program,  which  provides  most  of  the 
manpower,  Bucknell's  spring  sports  program  got  off 
to  an  auspicious  start  with  a  string  of  five  straight 
victories. 

Coach  "Woody"  Ludwig's  baseball  team  contrib- 
uted four  of  the  triumphs,  topping  Elizabethtown 
College,  Bloomsburg  State  Teachers,  Juniata,  and 
Pittsburgh,  while  Dr.  Floyd  Ballentine's  tennis  men 
opened  their  campaign  with  a  smashing  9-0  win  over 
Lehigh. 

A  slugging  attack  has  been  the  nine's  most  deadly 
weapon  this  season.  The  diamondmen  have  ham- 
mered out  at  least  a  dozen  hits  in  each  of  their  four 
contests.  They  humbled  Elizabethtown,  11-3;  had 
more  trouble  with  Bloomsburg's  V-12  team,  but  won. 
9-6;  slaughtered  Juniata,  17-3;  and  overpowered 
Pitt,  10-6. 

Every  man  on  the  baseball  squad  is  a  V-12  trainee, 
and  14  colleges  are  represented  by  the  17  players. 
The  victory  over  Pitt  was  marked  by  a  curious  irony 
when  John  Kelly,  who  pitched  for  the  Panthers  last 
season,  turned  the  tables  on  his  erstwhile  teammates 
this  year. 

In  addition  to  Kelly,  the  most  promising  pitchers 
are  Frank  Burns,  of  Harrisburg,  who  played  at  Buck- 
nell  as  a  civilian,  and  Herman  Bloom,  of  Philadel- 
phia, formerly  of  Temple.  Burns  has  also  been 
prominent  as  a  football  and  basketball  athlete. 

Behind  the  plate  the  first-string  receiver  is  Gene 
Hubka,  another  ex-Temple  man,  who  starred  in  the 
Bison  backfield  last  fall.  He  is  replaced  occasionally 
by  Carl  Nienstedt,  of  Wagner  College,  and  John 
Rzonca,  of  Massachusetts  State. 

The  starting  infield  includes  three  men  who  have 
already  made  their  mark  in  Bucknell  athletics.  They 
are  First-baseman  John  Hewson,  whose  six  feet,  six 
inches  of  height  provide  a  target  for  the  other  in- 
fielders;  Second-baseman  Bob  Reash,  whose  twin 
brother,  Dick,  plays  center  field;  and  Shortstop  Pete 
Day.  Hewson,  both  Reash  brothers,  and  Day  played 
varsity  basketball.  The  inner  cordon  is  completed  by 
Third-baseman  Bill  Namisniak,  a  Drexel  veteran. 

In  the  outfield  Center-fielder  Dick  Reash  is  flanked 
in  left  by  George  Lefkandinos,  another  football  and 
basketball  flash,  and  either  Rinaldo  Ridolfi  or  Dick 
Helmintoller  in  right. 

The  tennis  team  is  a  half-and-half  combination, 
composed  of  three  civilian  freshmen  and  three  train- 
ees. Frank  Haas  of  Harrisburg,  a  civilian,  is  the 
Number  One  man.  Other  frosh  racquet-wielders  are

/c)ALLED  to  Washington  by  President  Marts  for 
V.^  a  week-end  conference,  twelve  Bucknell  educa- 
tors had  the  pleasure  of  meeting  with  three  high- 
ranking  government  officials  not  long  ago  to  consider 
some  of  the  problems  facing  higher  education  in  the 
near  future.  The  governmental  officials  included  Dr. 
Joseph  W.  Barker,  assistant  to  the  Secretary  of  the 
Navy,  Colonel  John  M.  Andrews,  assistant  to  Gen- 
eral Lewis  Hershey,  and  Dr.  E.  V.  Hollis  of  the 
U.  S.  Office  of  Education. 

Dr.  Barker  stressed  particularly  the  task  of  the 
college  in  taking  men  who  have  been  carefully 
trained  to  kill  and  reawakening  in  them  an  interest 
in  liberal  and  scientific  subjects.  He  pointed  out  spe- 
cifically the  need  for  greater  faculty  understanding 
in  dealing  with  these  returning  veterans.  They  are 
likely  to  be  considerably  more  mature  than  present 
undergraduates  and  need  both  a  scholastic  and  a  per- 
sonal interest  if  successful  adjustment  is  to  be  made. 

According  to  Col.  Andrews,  something  like 
35,000,000  of  America's  citizens  will  be  obliged  to 
make  extensive  readjustments  in  their  lives  in  the 
year  following  the  close  of  the  war,  this  number  in- 
cluding both  those  now  in  the  Armed  Forces  and 
those  in  industries  likely  to  undergo  drastic  changes. 
He  anticipates  that  not  less  than  a  million  of  this 
number  will  desire  to  resume  their  educations.  Col. 
Andrews  stressed  the  point  that  colleges  should  be 
preparing  themselves  so  that  it  will  be  possible  for 
these  men  and  women  to  enter  college  at  any  time 
during  the  year,  rather  than  being  obliged  to  wait  for 
the  opening  of  the  usual  semesters. 

Dr.  Hollis  reported  on  the  post-war  planning  al- 
ready undertaken  by  the  U.  S.  Office  of  Education 
and  indicated  that  the  schools  of  our  country  will 
need  to  think  especially  in  terms  of  three  funda- 
mental issues  in  preparing  returning  service  men  for 
their  places  in  civilian  life.  These  three  were  as  fol- 
lows: the  relation  between  labor  and  management, 
the  education  of  the  average  college  student  so  that 
he  will  have  a  better  understanding  of  his  civic  re- 
sponsibilities, and  education  on  international  prob- 
lems and  race  relations. 

In  appointing  faculty  committees  to  carry  on  the 
task  of  preparation  for  the  difficult  times  ahead,  Pres- 
ident Marts  reminded  the  faculty  representatives  that 
Bucknell  expects  to  continue  to  be  a  college  of  about 
the  same  size  as  at  present  and  that  the  major  task 
of  the  school  will  be  to  give  the  finest  education  pos- 
sible to  the  1,300  young  men  and  women  who  are 
selected  and  qualified  to  take  advantage  of  the  offer- 
ings available  at  Bucknell.   Bucknell  will  make  such 

[20 


adjustments  in  curriculum  and  program  as  prove  nec- 
essary to  remain  abreast  of  changing  conditions. 

Three  faculty  committees  were  named.  Each  of 
them  was  given  the  responsibility  of  submitting  a 
report  of  its  recommendations  early  in  April.  The 
first  of  these  committees  was  a  group  consisting  of 
Dr.  Charles  M.  Bond,  Dr.  Norman  Stewart,  and  Dr. 
H.  W.  Robbins.  This  committee  was  given  the  task 
of  preparing  a  general  statement  as  to  the  post-war 
problem  relating  to  Bucknell.  The  second  committee 
consists  of  the  faculty  advisory  committee,  under  the 
leadership  of  Dr.  Philip  L.  Harriman.  This  commit- 
tee was  asked  to  prepare  a  statement  on  specific  steps 
to  be  taken  in  curricular  and  academic  adjustment. 
It  was  this  committee  which  took  the  initiative  orig- 
inally in  suggesting  a  study  of  the  whole  subject  of 
the  readjustment  period  following  the  conclusion  of 
hostilities.  A  third  committee  dealing  with  still  other 
aspects  consists  of  Dean  Ralph  E.  Page,  Treasurer 
Dayton  L.  Ranck,  Dean  Dorothy  T.  Dyer,  and  Dr. 
James  A.  Gathings.  This  group  was  requested  to 
draw  up  plans  concerning  the  readjustments  of  stu- 
dents returning  from  the  war,  as  well  as  concerning 
the  general  social  life  and  student  activities  on  the

attention  to  these  important  questions  at  this  stage 
will  result  in  less  confusion  and  better  coordination 
of  the  college  in  the  difficult  times  that  lie  ahead.

us  a  splendid  talk  on  'The  State  of 
Bucknell,'  which  we  all  enjoyed  very 
much."  The  club  asks  that  its  greetings 
be  sent  to  all  servicemen.  Paul 
Humphreys,  '28,  was  elected  president; 
Louis  Russo,  '33,  vice-president;  Eliz- 
abeth Hahn  Sprout,  '18,  secretary;  and 
Mrs.  Frances  A.  Murphey,  'x27,  treas- 
urer. The  trustees  elected  are  Harold

Of 


Dear  Bucknellians: 

Last  summer,  when  the  active  regional  meetings 
in  the  Hundredth  Birthday  Campaign  were  about 
closing,  I  wrote  you,  asking  for  the  loyal  support  of 
those  alumni  who  had  not  subscribed  up  to  that  time. 
Our  general  chairman,  Mr.  Roy  Bostwick,  and  our 
President,  Captain  Arnaud  Marts,  also  wrote  you 
similar  requests.  Nearly  200  more  of  you  have  re- 
sponded, half  of  you  with  full  shares  and  several 
with  founder's  subscriptions  of  $1,000  or  more.  Sev- 
eral hundred  have  completed  payments  on  subscrip- 
tions. That's  great!  Bucknell  appreciates  it.  It's 
going  to  mean  much  to  Bucknell  and  her  alumni  to 
have  this  grand  old  college  free  of  debt  when,  on 
February  5,  1946,  we  celebrate  her  Hundredth 
Birthday. 

About  2,400  of  our  10,000  alumni  have  responded 
and  about  $272,000  has  been  subscribed.  All  but 
$93,000  has  been  paid  in  and  today  Bucknell  does 
not  owe  a  cent  outside  of  Lewisburg.  The  Lewisburg 
banks  carry  the  entire  debt.  But  even  the  Lewisburg 
banks  must  have  interest,  and  the  interest  on  $93,000 
is  more  than  enough  to  pay  the  salary  of  one  pro- 
fessor. 

I  am  sure  we  can  wipe  out  this  debt  if  we  all 
stick  together  and  put  our  shoulders  to  the  wheel 
for  the  final  effort.  Twenty-four  per  cent  of  our 
alumni  have  nearly  wiped  it  out.  What  would  hap- 
pen if  every  one  who  can  afford  to  make  a  subscrip- 
tion of  any  she  would  do  his  best?  I  know  what  the 
result  would  be  and  I  think  you  do.  And  you  would 
hasten  a  great  day  for  Old  Bucknell. 

Yours  for  a  Happy  Birthday, 

E.  A.  Snyder,  '11, 
National  Alumni  Chairman.

BUCKHELLIfinS  S€RV€  THEIR  COUOTRy  Ifl  THE  RED  CROSS 


Margaret  Dougherty 


Edna  M.  Hutchinson 


Catherine  R.  Hughes 


Carol  Lee  Davis 


/N  a  letter  to  L.  Francis  Lybarger,  Joseph  B.  Lip- 
pincott,  'x27,  who  has  received  his  fourth  pro- 
motion, to  the  position  of  Regional  Field  Supervisor 
in  the  American  Red  Cross,  and  is  now  somewhere 
in  Africa,  gives  a  vivid  picture  of  the  work  and  the 
workers  in  this  great  organization.  He  says:  "They 
are  a  grand  group.  All  overseas  workers  with  Red 
Cross  have  volunteered  for  foreign  service  and  are 
doing  a  magnificent  work  rendering  a  much  needed 
service  to  members  of  our  Armed  Forces. 

"The  lives  of  the  workers  over  here  are  not  filled 
with  the  comforts  of  home  so  men  and  women,  alike, 
share  the  same  prevailing  hardships  and  accept  them 
as  a  normal  part  of  any  day — taking  these  in  their 
stride  with  a  matter-of-fact  attitude.  There  is  no 
grumbling  for  they  came  here  expecting  the  worst, 
hoping  for  the  best,  and  making  the  most  of  what 
there  is  to  be  had. 

"When  I  was  last  in  the  States  many  persons 
asked,  'What  hours  do  you  work?'  The  reply  to  that 
question  is,  'We  have  NO  hours!'  We  must  be  and 
we  are  available  twenty-four  hours  each  and  every 
day.  When  there  is  need  for  our  services  outside  our 
daily  routine,  whether  scheduled  or  unscheduled,  we 
are  prepared  to  render  those  services  at  any  hour  of 
the  day  or  night.  The  average  time  spent  on  duty  in 
any  one  day  by  Red  Cross  workers  over  here  ranges 
from  twelve  to  fourteen  hours. 

"The  American  public  can  well  feel  proud  for  its 
contribution  to  this  organization  and  the  good  work 
it  is  doing.  The  Field  Service  is  the  link  between  the 
soldier  and  'The  Folks  Back  Home'  and  every  facil- 
ity at  the  command  of  this  service  is  utilized  to  its 
fullest  extent  to  alleviate  the  troubled  minds  of  the 
men  who  are  in  the  fight  over  here,  for  a  soldier  with 
a  troubled  mind  is  of  no  use  to  himself  nor  to  the 
army  and  it  is  much  of  the  service  that  Red  Cross 

[28 


provides  through  the  generosity  of  the  American 
public  that  makes  it  possible  for  the  men  to  receive 
assistance  when  it  is  most  needed.  Commercial 
cables  are  not  available  for  use  in  this  area  and  it  is 
through  the  generosity  of  the  Army  Signal  Corps 
that  our  contacts  are  made  with  the  Red  Cross  Chap- 
ters at  home.  Neither  is  it  possible  for  these  men 
to  walk  to  a  Western  Union  Telegraph  Office  and 
send  a  telegram  nor  can  they  go  to  a  telephone  pay 
station,  lift  the  receiver,  deposit  coins,  and  say, 
'Hello,  Mom'  .  .  .  it  is  our  job  and  we  do  it  with 
as  much  speed  as  regulations  and  facilities  permit. 
The  Clubs  offer  various  types  of  clean  entertainment, 
sleeping  accommodations,  meals,  and  other  services 
too  numerous  to  mention  in  this  letter.  Our  Clubmo- 
biles  are  operating  in  locations  where  the  need  for 
doughnuts,  coffee,  cigarettes,  candy,  and  items  sol- 
diers like  so  well  is  considered  essential.  The  Hos- 
pital workers  carry  on  with  the  services  delegated  to 
that  branch  of  the  service  in  caring  for  the  needs  of 
the  sick  and  the  wounded.  They  read  to  those  who 
are  unable  to  read,  write  letters  for  those  who  are 
unable  to  write,  and  in  every  case  fulfill  each  request 
as  best  they  can  with  a  smile  and  a  cheery  word  to 
all." 

A  few  Bucknellians  have  been  reported  to  the 
Alumni  Monthly  by  the  American  Red  Cross. 
They  are  listed  below. 

Carol  Lee  Davis,  '38,  of  Lewisburg,  Pennsylvania, 
formerly  with  the  Office  of  War  Information  in  San 
Francisco,  enlisted  in  the  Red  Cross  service  in  the 
fall  of  1943  and  was  sent  overseas  in  December.  She 
is  located  somewhere  in  the  British  Isles  and  is  in 
charge  of  an  Aeroclub  serving  American  Air  Corps 
men  in  that  area. 

Margaret  Dougherty,  '33,  of  Punxsutawney,  Penn- 
sylvania, who  was  formerly  with  the  Department  of 


Public  Assistance  as  a  visitor  in  Jefferson  County,  is 
located  in  Australia  and  is  serving  as  a  Red  Cross 
caseworker. 

Bernice  Fisher  of  Deland.  Florida,  and  Selins- 
grove,  Pennsylvania,  began  Red  Cross  training  on 
April  10.  She  is  taking  a  six-week  course  in  the 
American  University,  Washington,  D.  C.  Miss 
Fisher  is  a  graduate  of  Stetson  University  and  re- 
ceived the  degree  of  Master  of  Arts  at  Bucknell  in 
1941.  She  has  been  counselor  and  teacher  of  dra- 
matics at  Camp  Nawakwa,  Biglerville,  Pennsylvania, 
and  until  her  enlistment  was  teaching  in  the  high 
school  at  Plainfield,  New  Jersey. 

Catherine  R.  Hughes,  '28,  of  Williamstown.  Penn- 
sylvania, has  arrived  in  England  to  serve  the  Armed 
Forces  as  a  Red  Cross  recreation  worker.  Previous 
to  her  enlistment  in  this  service  she  taught  in  Yea- 
don.  Pennsylvania,  public  schools.  After  leaving 
Bucknell  she  took  graduate  work  at  Pennsylvania 
State  College,  Temple  University,  and  the  University 
of  Pennsylvania. 

Edna  M.  Hutchinson,  '36,  of  Wilmington,  Del.,  is 
serving  as  an  American  Red  Cross  hospital  staff  aide 
in  England.  Before  her  Red  Cross  appointment,  she 
taught  at  Richard  Hudnut  School,  New7  York  City, 
and  was  head  of  the  girls  department  at  the  People's 
Settlement  House,  Wilmington.  She  took  graduate 
work  at  the  University  of  Pennsylvania. 

Mrs.  Copeland  Directs  Salvage 

(Continued  from  page  S.J 

Earlier,  when  she  held  the  AWVS  chairmanship  in 
the  Borough  of  Queens,  she  did  much  to  publicize 
the  problem  and  the  need.  By  her  waiting  and  speak- 
ing and  her  administrative  astuteness,  she  soon 
brought  Queens  to  the  top  among  New  York's  Bor- 
oughs. With  this  rich  experience,  her  appointment 
as  chairman  for  Greater  New  York  came  in  the  nat- 
ural turn  of  events. 

Throughout  her  life  Mrs.  Copeland  has  had  the 
habit  of  doing  the  unusual.  While  taking  a  juris- 
prudence course  at  Bucknell,  she  was  secretary  to  the 
registrar.  She  came  back  for  a  degree  in  Music. 
Following  her  graduation,  she  taught  school  two 
years,  was  secretary  to  leading  Philadelphia  and  New 
York  law  firms,  specialist-secretary  to  Miss  Anne 
Morgan  in  her  many  activities  and  projects,  among 
them  the  American  Women's  Association,  and 
Franco-American  Relief  work.  Her  connection  with 
Miss  Morgan  began  shortly  after  her  marriage,  when 
she  came  to  New  York. 

An  accomplished  lyric  soprano,  she  has  done  much 
concert  and  radio  work.  The  number  of  clubs  to 
which  she  belongs  and  in  which  she  is  active  is  too 
large  for  listing  here.  Her  home  is  at  8510  34th 
Avenue,  Jackson  Heights,  N.  Y. 


Bucknell  Today

as  an  example  of  clear  writing — when  he  was  in- 
terrupted  by  a  Navy  trainee. 

"But  that's  all  wrong,  sir!"  he  said.    "I  was 
there." 

The  V-12  unit  at  Bucknell  has  made  an  enviable 
record.  There  are  probably  several  reasons  for  its 
unusual  success.  Some  claim  it  is  because  every  man 
is  required  to  be  in  his  room  evenings  from  7:15  to 
9:30;  then  he  has  a  half-hour  free  but  must  be  in 
bed  by  10:00  o'clock.  Some  say  it  is  because  we 
have  such  a  superior  faculty  at  Bucknell,  and  still 
others  feel  that  most  of  the  credit  should  go  to  the 
Commanding  Officer,  Lieutenant-Commander  J.  E. 
Fleming,  and  his  staff.  There  are  those  who  attribute 
the  unusual  success  to  careful  selection  of  trainees. 
Perhaps  all  four  of  these  causes  combine  to  bring 
about  the  results  that  have  been  achieved.  Not  all 
the  outcomes  can  be  listed  on  paper,  but  it  is  signifi- 
cant that  not  a  single  Navy  or  Marine  trainee  has 
failed  his  examinations  for  entrance  to  officers  train- 
ing school.  This  fact  is  highlighted  when  we  are 
informed  that  the  reported  average  failure  is  20  per 
cent.  Onlv  last  week  the  dining  hall  service  at  Buck- 
nell was  rated  first  among  the  twelve  colleges  and 
universities  in  this  area.  We  salute  the  V-12  program.

share  in  our  scientific  achievements."  In  any  case, 
he  stated,  a  "scientific  frontier"  has  replaced  the 
"land  frontier"  of  the  old  West. 

Among  the  70  persons  receiving  diplomas  were 
four  graduate  students  and  a  man  and  his  wife.  Mr. 
and  Mrs.  Charles  Alfred  Strange  of  Milton,  Pa.  Ten 
received  the  degree  of  Bachelor  of  Science  in  Chem- 
ical Engineering,  four  in  Electrical  Engineering,  six 
in  Mechanical  Engineering  (one  mechanical  engineer 
was  a  young  woman,  Miss  Wilburda  Miriam  Mur- 
phy of  Philadelphia) ;  twenty-seven  received  the 
Bachelor  of  Arts  degree;  six,  the  Bachelor  of  Science; 
twelve,  the  Bachelor  of  Science  in  Commerce  and 
Finance;  and  one,  the  Bachelor  of  Science  in  Educa- 
tion. Persons  receiving  the  master's  degree  were 
June  Lohman  Bubb,  Master  of  Arts;  Willard  Arthur 
Christian,  Edith  Colligan  Hannis,  and  Andrew  Clem- 
ent McGowan,  Master  of  Science  in  Education. 

Daniel  Rupert  Ormanowski  of  Glen  Lyon  and  Ira

Greetings  to  the  Alumni: 

I  have  just  met  a  young  Bucknell  Alumnus  who  is 
home  for  a  few  weeks.  He  is  a  Navy  pilot  and  has 
completed  about  fifty  missions.  It  was  very  interest- 
ing to  hear  him  tell  of  meeting  Bucknell  boys  in 
every  corner  of  the  globe,  and  when  two  or  more 
boys  got  together  it  called  for  a  celebration  and  "bull 
session."  Also,  I  had  a  letter  from  one  of  our  boys 
located  in  Australia,  and  he  tells  of  having  dinner 
at  least  once  a  week  with  one  of  his  classmates.  They 
often  gather  in  a  couple  more  and  call  that  the 
"Alumni  Club"  meeting.  We  read  in  the  papers  of 
the  grand  jobs  that  the  boys  are  doing  and  the  other 
night  I  recognized  the  name  of  a  Bucknell  boy  whose 
exploits  were  being  dramatized  on  the  radio. 

We  all  long  for  the  peaceful  days  when  our  men 
and  women  will  be  back  home,  and  just  about  this 
time  of  year  we  shall  be  able  to  make  plans  to  return 
for  commencement  and  the  class  reunions  once  more. 

Several  of  the  alumni  clubs  are  doing  a  great  job 
and  holding  meetings  despite  warrime  restrictions. 
It  is  mainly  through  the  loyal  efforts  of  the  alumni 
in  sending  new  students  to  Bucknell  that  the  incom- 
ing classes  are  filled  to  capacity.  Let  us  not  relax  in 
our  efforts  for  one  minute.  The  administration  needs 
our  loyalty  and  support. 

W.  C.  Lowther,  President, 
General  Alumni  Association.

0UR  sincere  thanks  are  extended  to  the  many 
Alumni  who  have  co-operated  so  splendidly  in 
our  admissions  program.  Certainly  to  you  goes  a 
substantial  amount  of  the  credit  for  the  fact  that  as 
of  May  1  the  total  number  of  applications  for  ad- 
mission was  11  per  cent  higher  than  one  year  ago; 
the  number  of  applications  from  young  women  stood 
43  per  cent  higher  than  at  that  time. 

Among  the  services  rendered  by  Alumni  are  the 
following:  In  approximately  one  hundred  Pennsyl- 
vania localities  they  have  examined  lists  of  high 
school  seniors  and  indicated  their  judgments  as  to 
the  desirability  of  these  young  people  as  future 
Bucknellians.  In  one  locality  in  New  York  State  an 
Alumni  club  wrote  and  asked  for  the  names  of 
Bucknell  prospects  in  that  area  in  order  that  these 
might  be  invited  to  the  next  meeting  of  the  club. 
A  gratifying  number  of  loyal  Alumni  have  taken 
time  from  their  crowded  schedules  to  talk  to  prospec- 
tive students  about  Bucknell  and  have  written  to  the 
Admissions  Office,  making  suggestions  as  to  further 
procedure.  Almost  daily  letters  are  received  from 
Alumni,  recommending  young  persons  as  prospec- 
tive students.  Some  have  written  to  suggest  that  the 
Admissions  Office  get  in  touch  with  outstanding  per- 
sons in  their  communities  whose  influence  was  con- 
sidered desirable.  Two  Bucknellians  have  requested 
permission  to  show  the  sound  motion  picture  in 
color,  "Bucknell  Marches  On,"  to  high  school  stu- 
dents in  their  communities.  In  a  number  of  cases 
Alumnas  have  served  as  hostesses  to  prospective 
Bucknellians  at  "College  Nights"  staged  by  high 
schools. 

While  by  no  means  all  has  been  done  that  can  be 
done,  a  splendid  start  has  been  made  toward  an  ex- 
clusively Alumni-propelled  admissions  program.  As 
we  go  along,  new  techniques  for  selling  Bucknell 
will  evolve.  One  excellent  argument  for  attending 
Bucknell  is  the  fact  that  she  has  a  large  group  of 
loyal  Alumni  who  are  willing  to  spend  themselves 
and  their  substance  for  Alma  Mater.  But  back  of 
this  loyalty  is  the  fact  that  Bucknell  is  one  of  a  small 
group  of  outstanding  colleges  and  universities  which 
have  been  evaluated  by  the  highest  accrediting  or- 
ganizations and  given  complete  approval.  And  for 
this  fine  rating,  much  credit  is  due  to  our  president, 
Arnaud  C.  Marts,  who  has  not  only  brought  us  pros- 
perity and  national  recognition  but  has  emphasized 
the  "Bucknell  Way  of  Life" — that  of  "Intelligence, 
Integrity,  and  Brotherhood."

ASKS  FOR  HELP 

Dear  Bucknellian: 

In  order  to  get  the  BUCKNELL  CENTENNIAL 
ALUMNI  DIRECTORY  published  by  1946,  it  will 
be  necessary  for  the  committee  to  have  the  help  of 
all  former  Bucknell  students.  I  know  we  can  count 
on  you,  and  so  we  would  like  to  have  you  look 
through  your  copy  of  YOUR  COLLEGE  FRIENDS 
and  send  to  the  Alumni  Office  all  the  mistakes  that 
you  have  marked  or  that  you  now  notice. 

There  are  three  lists  which  may  need  revision: 

1.  The  alphabetical  list.    Look  for  mistakes  as  of 

the  present  time,  deaths  (the  Alumni  Office 
has  tried  to  note  all  deaths  but  in  many  cases 
there  is  doubt,  especially  from  1937  to  1944), 
changes  of  names  by  marriage  or  otherwise. 

2.  The  class  list.    Changes  of  names  in  classes. 

3.  The  geographical  list.    Changes  of  addresses. 
Your  committee  is  anxious  to  have  this  Directory 

as  nearly  perfect  as  possible  but  this  can  be  done 
only  with  your  full  cooperation.     Kindly  act  now 
while  you  have  this  job  on  your  mind. 
Yours  for  a  BETTER  BUCKNELL, 

William  G.  Owens,  '80, 

Chairman. 
We  are  trying  to  make  a  collection  of  all  pictures, 
programs,  and  other  material  of  the  olden  days  that 
it  would  be  of  interest  to  keep.  Now,  if  you  come 
across  such  material  in  spring  house  cleaning,  just 
send  it  along.  Programs  of  the  first  fifty  years  are 
especially  interesting.  W.  G.  O.

Dear  Bucknellians:

days    about    Bucknell's    post-war    pro- 
*vgw^^^  t&s  gram     and     are     making     plans     for 

strengthening   Alma   Mater   in  certain 

ways   after   the   resumption   of   peace-

up  fully  to  the  new  educational  oppor- 
i.^„%  tunities  which  we  believe  will  open  to 

the  strong  American  colleges  and  uni- 

,  _  versities    in    the    post-war    generation.

/  «/  will  be  neither  a  post-war  Bucknell  nor

^{§f  alumni  and   students  who  have  given 

their  lives  in  this  war.  We  know  of 
15  who  have  died.  We  wish  to  plan 
a  memorial  in  their  honor  which  will  be  particularly  beautiful  and  appropriate.  It 
has  been  suggested  that  we  plant  a  memorial  garden  and  grove  at  a  proper  location 
on  our  campus  where  nature  might  join  with  us  in  creating  a  half  acre  of  special  charm 
in  their  memory.  It  has  been  further  suggested  that  this  memorial  garden  be  estab- 
lished on  a  slope  which  would  provide  a  small  outdoor  amphitheatre  for  summer  vesper 
services.  Plans  along  these  lines  are  now  being  considered  by  the  Trustees'  Committee 
on  Buildings  and  Grounds. 

Comments  and  suggestions  from  the  alumni  would  be  welcomed  by  this  Committee. 
Dr.  Mary  Wolfe  of  Lewisburg  is  the  Chairman. 

Cordial  greetings  to  each  of  you  and  all  of  you.

£7DUCKNELL  UNIVERSITY  held  its  94th  an- 
JLJ  nual  June  Commencement  this  spring,  but 
the  time  was  one  of  the  few  elements  that  made  it 
akin  to  all  those  other  June  Commencements.  Be- 
cause of  war  conditions  most  Commencement  activi- 
ties were  eliminated.  The  academic  procession 
marched  from  the  Vaughan  Literature  Building 
down  the  sloping  hillside  to  the  Davis  Gymnasium, 
but  less  than  one-third  of  the  usual  number  of 
graduates  were  in  the  line.  There  were  new  faces 
among  the  faculty  in  their  gowns  and  colorful 
hoods,  as  some  fifteen  of  the  regular  staff  are  on 


leave  in  the  services  or  in  war  industry  and  scien- 
tific research.  However,  it  was  an  impressive  pro- 
cession that  mounted  the  steps  of  the  rostrum  to 
receive  the  earned  Bachelor  and  Master  of  Arts 
degrees  from  the  hand  of  Captain  Arnaud  C.  Marts. 
Honorary  degrees  were  bestowed  on  four  alumni 
who  had  achieved  distinction  in  as  many  different 
fields — law,  medicine,  humanitarian  service  and  re- 
ligion. 

Recipients  of  honorary  degrees  were:  Joseph  W. 
Henderson,  Philadelphia,  president  of  the  American 
Bar  Association,  Doctor  of  Civil  Law;  Dr.  Chester 
S.  Keefer,  Boston,  who  supervised  distribution  of 
penicillin  during  the  early  development  of  the  drug, 
Doctor  of  Science;  Roy  G.  Bostwick,  Pittsburgh, 
civic  leader  and  attorney,  Doctor  of  Laws;  the  Rev. 
A.  Herbert  Haslam,  Toledo,  Ohio,  Doctor  of  Di- 
vinity. (Continued  on  page  6.)

C^°HE  Bucknell  chapter  of  Phi  Beta  Kappa  hon- 
C_)ored  itself  by  making  Dr.  Mary  Belle  Harris, 
daughter  of  Dr.  John  Howard  Harris,  for  thirty 
years  president  of  Bucknell,  an  honorary  member. 
Dr.  Harris  had  the  unique  experience  of  becoming 
a  member  of  Phi  Beta  Kappa  on  the  fiftieth  anni- 
versary of  her  graduation  from  Alma  Mater. 

Bucknellians  hardly  need  be  told  that  Dr.  Harris 
was  the  first  woman  who  ever  was  head  of  a 
federal  prison.  She  organized  and  was  superin- 
tendent of  the  women's  prison  at  Alderson,  West 
Virginia,  for  fifteen  years  prior  to  her  retirement. 
At  the  golden  jubilee  celebration  of  the  General 
Federation  of  Women's  Clubs  in  Atlantic  City  on 
May  19,  1941,  Dr.  Harris  was  awarded  the  organ- 
ization's golden  scroll  of  honor  as  the  most  outstand- 
ing woman  of  the  day  in  the  science  of  penology. 
Her  book,  "I  Knew  Them  in  Prison,"  is  an  auto- 
biography in  which  she  describes  her  methods  with 
thousands  of  women  inmates  of  the  prison,  many 
of  whom  by  her  progressive  methods  she  was  able 
to  restore  to  useful  lives.  Her  great  work  at  Aider- 
son  was  not  that  of  an  inexperienced  person,  for 
she  was  in  charge  of  women  prisoners  at  Blackwell's 
Island  and  later  was  superintendent  of  the  Reform- 
atory for  Women  in  Clinton,  N.  J.  During  the 
First  World  War,  Dr.  Harris  served  the  Govern-

/N  AN  eloquent  and  timely  baccalaureate  address 
on  Friday  evening,  June  23,  Captain  Arnaud  C. 
Marts  projected  the  class  into  the  year  1970  and 
asked  them  if  we  are  to  be  in  another  great  world 
war  in  that  year  as  we  were  26  years  ago  and  as 
we  are  now.  He  laid  on  the  shoulders  of  the  edu- 
cated people  of  their  generation  the  responsibility 
for  conditions  then.  He  urged  speed  in  the  plan- 
ning of  some  kind  of  organization  which  will  pre- 
vent in  their  lifetime  the  blot  which  now  rests  on 
our  so-called  civilization.  "We  must  not  wait  to  be 
sure  that  we  have  created  the  perfect  international 
agency,"  he  said.  "We  must  make  the  start  now 
with  the  best  judgment  we  now  possess."  He  de- 
clared that  this  task  is  "the  supreme  issue  for  civi- 
lized mankind  in  the  next  half  century." 

He  drew  three  lessons  from  the  history  of  the  last 
26  years  which  will  have  definite  bearing  on  their 
individual  lives  during  an  equal  period  now  starting. 
1.  "You  will  not  avoid  World  War  No.  3  in  1970 
by  pretending  in  1966  that  it  is  none  of  your  busi- 
ness when  one  nation  attacks  another  in  this 
shrunken  little  world."  2.  "You  must  learn  to 
maintain  sufficient  military  and  naval  strength  in 
America  to  make  it  clear  to  warlike  nations  that 
World  War  No.  3  will  not  pay  off  for  them."  3. 
"We  must  create  and  establish  immediately  an  in- 
ternational agency  which  will  keep  the  peace  every- 
where throughout  the  world." 

The  speaker  said  that  the  effort  to  establish  an 
international  agency  to  keep  the  peace  is  a  "mag- 
nificent" issue  "which  summons  to  its  side  the  in- 
stinctive loyalty  and  creative  wits  and  devoted  spirits 
of  all  men  of  all  parties  and  nations  and  creeds, 
who  have  the  eyes  to  see  and  the  souls  to  compre- 
hend the  needs  and  hopes  of  all  civilized  mankind. 

"Civilization  moves  forward  slowly  and  ponder- 
ously," he  declared.  "The  mind,  spirit  and  con- 
science of  civilized  men,  slowly,  painfully,  hesitantly, 
push  back  the  dark,  foggy  curtains  of  ignorance,  of 
superstition,  of  meanness,  of  cruelty — groping  al- 
ways for  wider,  brighter  and  nobler  horizons  for  suc- 
ceeding generations." 

The  president  read  the  names  of  Bucknellians  who 
had  given  their  lives  or  are  missing  in  the  present 
war  and  proposed  a  memorial  garden  and  grove  in 
which  a  tree  should  be  planted  in  memory  of  every- 
one who  had  made  the  supreme  sacrifice.  This  gar- 
den and  grove,  he  said,  "might  be  set  over  on  the 
gentle  slope  leading  down  toward  the  Memorial

/r"7~}UCKNELL'S  Commencement  speaker  this 
JlJ  spring  was  a  Bucknellian  of  25  years  back 
who  has  traveled  far  in  the  field  of  theology  and 
education.  He  was  Edwin  Ewart  Aubrey,  new  presi- 
dent of  Crozer  Theological  Seminary,  and  his  ad- 
dress was  worthy  of  any  president  of  a  graduate 
school. 

Dr.  Aubrey  was  born  in  Glasgow,  Scotland,  came 
to  the  United  States  in  1913  and  was  naturalized  in 
1918.  He  was  graduated  from  Bucknell  in  1919 
with  highest  honors.  The  remainder  of  his  school- 
ing was  received  at  the  University  of  Chicago,  where 
he  received  the  M.A.  in  1921,  B.D.  in  1922  and 
Ph.D.  in  1926.  Bucknell  bestowed  on  him  the  hon- 
orary D.D.  in  1939- 

He  held  professorships  in  Union  Theological 
College,  Carleton  College,  Miami  University  and 
Vassar  College  before  going  to  the  University  of 
Chicago  in  1929  as  professor  of  Christian  theology 
and  ethics.  From  1933  to  his  election  to  the  Crozer 
presidency  in  1944,  he  was  chairman  of  the  Theo- 
logical Field  in  Chicago's  Divinity  School.  While 
there  he  played  a  large  part  in  the  developing  of  the 
new  curriculum  and  served  on  all  the  administra- 
tive committees. 

He  is  a  member  of  numerous  learned  societies 
and  has  written  several  books  in  the  field  of  religion. 


Among  his  productions  are  "Religion  and  the  Next 
Generation,"  1931;  "Present  Theological  Tenden- 
cies," 1936;  "Living  the  Christian  Faith,"  1939; 
and  "Man's  Search  for  Himself,"  1940.  He  has  con- 
tributed to  the  "Dictionary  of  American  Biography," 
is  book  review  editor  of  the  Journal  of  Religion  and 
the  new  editor  of  that  journal. 

Dr.  Aubrey  was  a  theological  consultant  at  the 
Oxford  Conference  in  1937  and  has  been  chairman 
of  the  Chicago  Ecumenical  Study  Group  since  1939. 
He  was  a  founder  of  the  Conference  on  Science, 
Philosophy  and  Religion,  and  is  chairman  of  the 
Chicago  (inter-faith)  Institute  for  Religious  Studies. 
He  is  a  consultant  on  religious  trends  to  the  Na- 
tional Board  of  the  Y.  W.  C.  A.  He  is  a  member 
of  the  National  Y.  W.  C.  A.  Committee  on  Spiritual 
Emphasis  and  of  the  important  Federal  Council 
Commissions:  On  a  Just  and  Durable  Peace,  and 
On  the  Churches  and  the  War.  He  is  active  in  the 
work  of  the  Round  Table  of  Jews  and  Christians. 
His  brother  is  the  General  Secretary  of  English  Bap- 
tists. 

Mrs.  Aubrey,  a  Vassar  graduate  with  a  master's 
degree  in  New  Testament  from  the  University  of 
Chicago,  is  a  woman  of  talent  and  a  leader  in  re- 
ligious work  as  well  as  in  national  social  and  politi- 
cal women's  organizations.  They  have  two  children, 
Nancy  and  Donald.

>EBEL  WITHOUT  CAUSE"  is  the  title  of 
a  book  just  published  by  Pvobert  Lindner, 
who  is  psychologist  at  the  Northeastern  Penitentiary. 
The  book  is  described  as  a  hypno-analysis  of  a 
criminal  psychopath  and  is  a  first-hand  account  of  a 
scientific  experiment.  Dr.  Lindner,  in  utilizing 
methods  of  psycho-analysis  and  hypnosis,  has  de- 
scribed crucial  episodes  and  base  character  factors 
in  the  life  of  a  youthful  criminal,  following  him 
from  earliest  infancy  through  a  law-breaking  boy- 
hood to  the  young  manhood  phase  in  a  penitentiary. 

Dr.  Lindner  received  his  doctor's  degree  from 
Cornell  University  in  1939-  He  is  married  to 
Eleanor  Johnson,  '34,  and  they  live  in  Lewisburg 
with  their  children,  Marged  and  Dan.

STUDENTS  at  Bucknell  since  the  turn  of  the

E.  Burpee,  for  many  years  professor  of  mechanical 
engineering  and  for  the  past  few  years  emeritus 
professor,  has  retired  from  active  service.  For  the 
past  39  years  he  had  been  superintendent  of  build- 
ings and  grounds.  In  1937,  with  the  expansion  of 
the  plant,  he  was  made  full-time  superintendent. 
Professor  Burpee,  who  holds  the  degree  of  Doctor 
of  Engineering  from  John  B.  Stetson  University,  has 
been  responsible  for  the  construction  of  many  im- 
portant Bucknell  buildings,  including  the  Carnegie 
Library,  East  College,  Hunt  Hall,  Harris  Hall,  the 
Botany  Building,  the  first  wing  of  the  Engineering 
Building,  the  wing  of  the  Chemistry  Building,  the 
Service  Buildine,  and  the  Women's  Dinintr  Room. 
He  remodeled  the  Baptist  Church  twice,  as  well  as 
Tustin  Gymnasium  and  the  Navy  Dining  Hall,  built 
the  S.  A.  E.  House,  and  superintended  the  building 
of  the  Memorial  Stadium. 

Professor  Burpee  was  for  several  years  chief  bur- 
gess of  the  Borough  of  Lewisburg.  He  was  presi- 
dent of  many  civic  organizations  and  active  in  a 
number  of  others. 

He  has  been  responsible  for  keeping  the  campus 
one  of  the  most  attractive  in  the  country.  He  loves 
flowers,  knows  them,  and  has  made  certain  spots, 
notably  the  quadrangle  between  the  Library  and  the 
Vaughan  Literature  Building,  a  joy  to  flower  lovers. 
Many  a  sick  person  has  been  sure  of  a  supply  of 
flowers  because  of  his  thoughtfulness,  and  many 
formal  occasions  at  the  University  have  had  more 
beautiful  settings  because  he  was  on  the  job. 

[6 


Dr.  Burpee  had  a  serious  operation  some  months 
ago  and  since  then  has  had  to  shift  most  of  his  re- 
sponsibilities to  other  shoulders.  On  his  retirement, 
the  work  of  superintending  the  plant  was  handed 
to  a  committee  consisting  of  Treasurer  Dayton  L. 
Ranck,  '16,  and  Professors  John  C.  Reed  and  George 
M.  Kunkel,  '19,  until  his  successor  can  be  chosen. 
His  friends  all  wish  for  him  many  years  of  well- 
earned  relaxation. 


June  Commencement 

(Continued  from  page  3-) 

A  fifth  Bucknell  alumnus,  Dr.  Edwin  E.  Aubrey, 
president-elect  of  Crozer  Theological  Seminary  at 
Chester,  delivered  the  Commencement  address,  call- 
ing for  a  kind  of  knowledge  which  will  lead  to 
action,  rather  than  to  cautious  skepticism  and  inde- 
cision. 

"The  fundamental  faith  of  the  democracy  for 
which  we  are  now  fighting  is  faith  in  the  power  of 
collective  knowledge  to  make  a  nation  wise,"  Dr. 
Aubrey  declared.  "This  is  a  faith  in  the  eventual 
triumph  of  wisdom  over  force,  and  the  courage  to 
live  this  faith  in  the  midst  of  panic  is  what  spells  the 
power  of  the  educated  person." 

Three  master's  diplomas  were  also  awarded.  One 
of  them  went  to  Miss  Esther  M.  Buss,  Allenwood, 
who  received  the  degree  of  Master  of  Arts.  Miss 
Buss  was  graduated  from  Bucknell  in  the  Class  of 
1943. 

Six  students  were  graduated  with  honors,  two  of 
them  with  the  distinction  of  Magna  Cum  Laude,  in- 
dicating that  they  had  received  A's  in  three-fourths 
of  their  courses. 

Top  ranking  students  are  Miss  Erma  L.  Sam- 
brook,  Troy,  and  Miss  Louise  Terrett,  Brandenberg, 
Montana. 

Four  students  were  graduated  with  the  distinction 
of  Cum  Laude,  indicating  that  they  had  received  A's 
in  one-half  of  their  courses.  They  are  Miss  Ruth 
Landau,  Danville;  Miss  Harriet  S.  Francke,  Hicks- 
ville,  N.  Y.;  Warren  A.  Kistler,  Wilkes- Barre; 
Seymour  Bernstein,  New  York,  N.  Y. 

Awarding  of  diplomas  was  followed  by  the  grant- 
ing of  honorary  degrees.  Dr.  Ralph  E.  Page,  pro- 
fessor of  political  science,  who  presented  Mr.  Hen- 
derson for  his  degree,  described  the  Philadelphian 
as  "a  wise  counselor,  a  brilliant  advocate,  a  gener- 
ous friend  of  education  and  an  outstanding  leader 
in  a  great  profession."  He  was  graduated  from 
Bucknell  in  1908  and  has  been  a  member  of  the

Dr.  Coit  Hokchst 


COII HOGCHST.  '07.  IS  PRAISED 


A  FEW  Bucknellians  have  known  that  Coit 
^/Jl.  Hoechst  letters  all  the  Bucknell  diplomas; 
we  have  known  him  as  a  leader  in  educational  af- 
fairs of  Pittsburgh  and  of  the  State  of  Pennsylvania; 
we  have  known  him  as  one  of  Bucknell's  most  ver- 
satile and  interesting  alumni;  but  we  are  probably 
unaware  of  the  wide  range  of  dynamic  living  this 
bundle  of  energy  has  encompassed  since  leaving 
Bucknell. 

A  good  picture  of  his  activities  was  painted  re- 
cently by  Ralph  Lewando  in  the  Pittsburgh  Press. 
We  quote  Mr.  Lewando  in  part:  "We  know  of  no 
one  who  exemplifies  so  completely  the  ideal  avoca- 
tional  musician  as  does  Dr.  Hoechst,  noted  educator, 
who  believes  that  'the  sincere  and  reasonably  well- 
trained  and  conscientious  amateur  can  and  should 
be  of  inestimable  service  to  the  music  profession  as 
a  layman.' 

"Dr.  Hoechst,  though  busied  with  the  demands 
of  educational  activity,  has  found  the  time  and 
energy  to  compose  eight  string  quartets,  a  piano 
quintet,  two  piano  trios  and  two  orchestral  suites, 
which  further  emphasize  his  top-ranking  here  as  the 
ideal  amateur  in  music.  His  hobbies  are  engrossing 
and  hand-lettering  of  diplomas,  illuminating  of 
hand-lettered  parchment  documents  and  albums. 
Since  1931  he  has  played  the  cello  in  a  string  quar- 
tet. And  to  cap  his  leisure  interest,  Dr.  Hoechst 
has  made  a  number  of  violins,  violas  and  cellos  that 
are  being  played  to  advantage."

Charles  A.  Kothe 


KOM,  x'34,  VOTED  TULSflS 

Of  1942-3 


/()HARLES  A.  KOTHE  was  recently  elected  pres- 
v_^  ident  of  the  Oklahoma  Junior  Chamber  of 
Commerce  and  voted  the  most  outstanding  man  in 
the  city  of  Tulsa — all  this  in  spite  of  the  fact  that  he 
has  been  kicking  around  on  this  mundane  planet 
only  since  1912.  Kothe  spent  three  years  at  Buck- 
nell  in  the  Class  of  1934,  then  moved  to  Tulsa  and 
received  his  B.A.  degree  from  the  University  of 
Tulsa.  He  entered  the  University  of  Oklahoma  Law 
School  and  distinguished  himself  as  literary  editor 
of  the  campus  humor  magazine,  as  a  member  of 
the  debating  team  and  by  being  elected  to  Phi  Delta 
Phi  and  the  Coif,  top-ranking  honor  societies  of  the 
law  school.  Incidentally,  he  worked  his  way  through 
the  school.  He  entered  private  law  practice  in  Tulsa, 
soon  was  called  to  the  legal  staff  of  the  Mid-Conti- 
nent Petroleum  Company,  and  is  now  chief  counsel 
of  the  Macnick  Company,  specializing  in  labor  re- 
lations. 

Kothe  is  active  in  community  affairs  and  is  super- 
intendent of  the  Young  People's  Department  of  the 
Second  Presbyterian  Church,  also  teaching  in  the  de- 
partment. He  is  married  to  Janet  Fleming,  with 
whom  he  took  a  honeymoon  trip  around  the  world, 
traveling  part  way  by  tramp  steamer  and  bicycling 
through  Europe  and  Asia. 


£T^vR.  JOHN  H.  EISENHAUER,  '05,  principal 
JlJ  of  the  Reading  High  School  for  the  past  eight 
years,  retired  from  active  service  August  1.  He  was 
engaged  in  public  school  work  until  1928,  when 
he  became  associate  professor  of  education  and  di- 
rector of  the  summer  school  at  Bucknell,  holding 
this  position  until  1933,  when  he  became  director  of 
the  Bucknell  Junior  College  at  Wilkes-Barre.  After 
three  years  there,  he  returned  to  Reading  as  high 
school  principal,  which  position  he  had  held  for  five 
years  before  coming  to  Bucknell  in  1928. 

He  was  active  in  civic  and  religious  organizations, 
having  been  president  of  the  Kiwanis  Club  in  Read- 
ing and  the  Lewisburg  Lions  Club.  From  1932  to 
1934  he  was  a  member  of  the  Executive  Council  of 
the  Reformed  Church  in  America  and  was  a  member 
of  the  general  council  of  the  church  after  its  merger 
with  the  Evangelical  Church. 

He  married  Alverna  Dersham  in  1906.  Their 
daughter,  Mrs.  Glenn  H.  Good,  lives  in  Lewisburg. 
Dr.  and  Mrs.  Eisenhauer  will  live  on  their  farm  in 
Union  County.

THE  GUIDflRCE  WORKSHOP 

(>^HE  Bucknell  Guidance  Workshop,  inaugurated 
\S)  in  1940,  is  having  a  very  successful  summer. 
Emphasis  is  being  placed  on  two  fields  of  guidance 
— training  of  school  counselors  and  training  of  coun- 
selors for  the  rehabilitation  and  readjustment  of 
returning  soldiers  and  persons  who  will  need  to 
transfer  from  war  industry  to  peacetime  pursuits. 
Dr.  Frank  G.  Davis  is  director  and  T.  Bayard  Beatty 
of  the  Radnor  High  School  at  Wayne,  Pa.,  is  as- 
sistant director.  In  addition,  nearly  a  dozen  experts 
are  serving  as  consultants. 


[s 


A  DEFINITE  honor  was  bestowed  on  Buck- 
^/jl  nell  University  when  it  was  assigned  by  the 
Department  of  State  approximately  twenty  Latin- 
American  college  graduates,  both  men  and  women, 
who  will  live  on  the  campus  and  will  speak  only 
English  for  eight  weeks,  under  the  tutelage  of  a 
picked  group  of  instructors.  Dr.  C.  Willard  Smith 
will  be  in  charge  of  the  school  and  will  be  assisted 
by  Miss  Agnes  Brady  of  the  Spanish  Department.  A 
number  of  other  professors  will  assist  in  the  project. 

This  is  the  only  school  of  its  type  in  the  Eastern 
States,  and  its  purpose  wrill  be  to  provide  an  indoc- 
trination course  into  American  customs  and  language 
for  those  Spanish-speaking  people  who  plan  to  con- 
tinue graduate  study  at  colleges  and  universities  in 
this  country.  The  course  will  provide  them  with  a 
better  command  of  English  before  they  begin  their 
graduate  studies. 

Dr.  Smith  has  gone  to  the  University  of  Michigan, 
where  he  will  study  methods  of  conducting  such  a 
house  under  Dr.  Charles  C.  Fries,  '09,  who  has  been 
engaged  in  this  work  at  Michigan  for  several  years. 
For  some  time  two  other  Bucknellians  also — Dr.  and 
Mrs.  Leo  L.  Rockwell,  '07  and  '11 — have  been  work- 
ing with  Dr.  Fries.  Harry  R.  Pierson,  '28,  of  the 
Bureau  of  Cultural  Relations  of  the  Department  of 
State  in  Washington,  has  assisted  in  arranging  the 
program. 

Alumni  will  be  glad  to  know  that  Bucknellians 
are  active  in  the  building  of  good  relations  between 
the  United  States  and  Latin  America.

demonstrations  of  etching,  lithography,  casting 
sculpture,  pressing  a  piece  mold  with  terra  cotta, 
and  firing  sculpture  in  terra  cotta.  A  number  of 
students  who  attended  the  demonstrations  produced 
original  works  of  art  in  the  mediums  that  were  dem- 
onstrated. Also,  one-man  exhibitions  of  art,  by  such 
noted  American  artists  as  Harry  Gottlieb,  Elizabeth

the  problems  connected  with  the  marriage  of  Ameri- 
can servicemen  and  English  girls.  After  a  clear- 
headed discussion  of  the  problems  involved,  Tom 
said,  "I  am  not  appealing  for  a  return  to  the  old 
days  of  'parental  control.'  I  am  asking,  however,  and 
this  cannot  be  put  too  strongly,  that  American  par- 
ents wake  up  to  the  fact  that  Johnny  now  needs  their 
advice  more  than  ever  before.  The  right  word  at 
the  right  time  will  make  or  break  him.  I've  seen  it

/ROOKING  back  over  a  highly  successful  year 
cf^m)  during  which  Navy  V-12  trainees  supplied 
most  of  the  manpower,  Bucknell  athletes  are  already 
preparing  for  the  campaigns  of  the  coming  months. 
Football  practice  is  now  underway,  since  it  began 
July  31.  The  program  will  be  similar  to  that  of 
1943-44:  for  the  fall,  football  and  soccer;  winter, 
basketball  and  perhaps  wrestling;  spring,  baseball 
and  tennis. 

The  football  schedule,  just  completed,  includes 
games  with  Cornell,  Penn  State,  Temple,  Villanova 
and  New  York  University.  Here's  the  way  it  lines  up:

,    N.    Y.    U. 

and 
C.  C.  N.  Y.,  are  the  sole  newcomers  on  the  schedule. 
C.  C.  N.  Y.  has  never  before  played  Bucknell  in 
football.  N.  Y.  U.  has  battled  the  Bisons  three  times, 
most  recently  in  1935,  when  the  Violets  outpointed 
the  Orange  and  Blue,  14  to  0. 

[10 


It  is  certain,  in  view  of  the  small  enrollment  of 
civilian  men,  that  the  team  will  be  composed  almost 
entirely  of  trainees.  It  will  be  a  new  team;  we 
shall  again  have  to  start  from  scratch.  Fully  25  of 
last  year's  squad  have  left  Bucknell.  Their  places 
will  be  filled  by  boys  coming  in  from  the  fleet  or 
the  high  schools.  Last  year  the  Bucknell  squad  in- 
cluded players  from  a  dozen  different  colleges,  many 
of  them  experienced  football  men.  Then  the  prob- 
lem was  to  weld  these  products  of  different  systems 
into  a  machine.  This  time  the  task  will  be  to  create 
a  team  out  of  unseasoned  material.  Which  is  the 
more  difficult  job?    That  remains  to  be  seen. 

Furthermore,  in  these  war  years,  the  football 
season  is  split  into  two  distinct  parts.  At  the  end 
of  October,  many  of  the  players  will  leave  Bucknell 
for  duties  elsewhere.  Their  places  will  have  to  be 
filled  by  men  who  entered  in  July.  These  men,  not 
allowed  to  take  part  in  intercollegiate  contests  dur- 
ing the  first  sixteen  weeks  of  their  training  period, 
will  be  eligible  to  play  at  the  end  of  October.  How- 
ever, they  will  have  to  be  trained.  The  coaches, 
therefore,  are  confronted  with  the  task  of  develop- 
ing two  teams  at  once,  the  two  to  be  merged  into 
the  varsity  of  the  second  half  of  the  season.  It  might 
be  pointed  out  that  all  this  resembles  the  old  ar- 
rangement of  varsity  and  freshman  teams,  except  for 
the  fact  that  eligibility  of  the  former  team  takes 
place  the  same  season. 

What  about  the  coaching  staff  that  is  to  cope  with 
this  rather  difficult  situation?  We  are  glad  to  re- 
port that  Woody  Ludwig  will  be  with  us  again.  It 
will  be  remembered  that  Woody  took  charge  last 
year  after  Johnny  Sitarsky  went  into  the  Army.  He 
finished  the  football  season  with  a  dazzling  victory 
over  F.  and  M.  His  basketball  team  won  nine  out 
of  twelve  games.  His  baseball  team  won  all  but 
two  games.  Woody  seems  to  be  a  winner.  Buck- 
nell fans  feel  confident  that  the  job  of  head  coach 
will  be  in  good  hands.  (Continued  on  page  23.)

A  letter  from  W.  C.  Lowther  was  received,  asking 
that  because  of  his  duties  as  president  of  the  Gen- 
eral Alumni  Association  he  be  relieved  of  the  re- 
sponsibility of  acting  as  first  vice-president  of  the 
Bison  Club.  His  resignation  was  accepted  with  re- 
gret, and  it  was  moved  that  the  position  be  filled 
at  Homecoming  time  by  nominations  to  be  brought 
in  by  the  nominating  committee. 

A  motion  was  carried  that  the  chair  be  authorized 
to  call  a  special  meeting  of  the  Bison  Club  at  the 
time  of  the  meeting  of  the  Athletic  Council  in  Phila- 
delphia in  the  fall.  William  Irvin  was  appointed 
chairman  and  was  authorized  to  name  his  own  com- 
mittee. 

The  Bucknell  summer  term  opened  July  3-  Of 
the  877  students,  563  are  Navy  V-12  trainees,  253 
are  men  and  women  undergraduates,  and  61  are 
teachers,  mainly  graduate  students  taking  summer 
courses. 

Eighty  of  the  undergraduates  are  beginning  fresh- 
men— 47  men  and  33  women.  The  November  be- 
ginning group  will  be  much  larger  and  the  propor- 
tion of  women  will  be  increased.

Board. 

Dr.  Chester  S.  Keefer,  Boston,  who  was  presented 
by  Dr.  N.  H.  Stewart,  professor  of  zoology,  served 
as  a  consultant  to  the  Office  of  Scientific  Research 
and  Development  when  plans  were  worked  out  for 
apportioning  the  meagre  supplies  of  penicillin.  All 
doctors  handling  cases  involving  the  use  of  the  drug 
were  required  to  submit  complete  medical  and  bac- 
teriological case-histories  to  Dr.  Keefer. 

Dr.  Keefer,  who  was  graduated  from  Bucknell  in 
1918,  is  Wade  Professor  of  Medicine  in  the  Boston 
University  School  of  Medicine  and  physician-in-chief 
of  Massachusetts  Memorial  Hospital. 

Roy  G.  Bostwick,  chairman  of  Bucknell's  Board 
of  Trustees  and  senior  partner  of  the  law  firm  of

"an  eminent  lawyer  and  a  distinguished  humani- 
tarian." He  was  presented  for  his  degree  by  Dr.  W. 
H.  Coleman,  professor  of  English. 

Graduated  from  Bucknell  in  the  Class  of  1905, 
Mr.  Bostwick  has  been  active  in  civic  and  humani- 
tarian affairs,  serving  as  chairman  of  the  blood  donor 
service  of  the  Pittsburgh  chapter  of  the  American 
Red  Cross,  president  of  the  Family  Society  of  Alle- 
gheny County  and  director  of  the  Public  Charities 
Association  of  Pennsylvania. 

The  Rev.  A.  Herbert  Haslam,  a  Bucknell  gradu- 
ate in  the  Class  of  1923,  was  honored  for  his 
"creative,  pioneering  religious  leadership"  and  his 
"Christian  statesmanship."  He  was  presented  for  the 
honorary  degree  by  Dr.  Charles  M.  Bond,  head  of 
Bucknell's  Religion  Department. 

The  Toledo  pastor  has  been  an  active  denomina- 
tional leader  as  secretary  of  the  board  of  managers

Metropolitan  Alumni  Club 

/y)AL'S  CABIN  in  West  Orange,  N.  J.,  was  the 
J  scene  on  June  16  of  the  third  big  get-together 
of  the  Metropolitan  Club.  More  than  60  persons 
were  in  attendance  and  everyone  had  a  good  time. 
"Red"  Lowther,  '14,  president  of  the  General 
Alumni  Association,  led  the  gang  in  singing  a  lot 
of  Bucknell  songs.  The  program  was  a  unique  one 
in  that  three  members  of  one  family  spoke.  Dr. 
Guido  Carl  Leo  Riemer,  '95,  former  head  of  the 
German  Department  of  Bucknell  and  respected  by 
many  alumni  for  his  scholarship  and  teaching  skill, 
was  the  main  speaker  of  the  evening.  His  wife, 
known  to  many  alumni  as  the  gracious  hostess  and 
successful  manager  of  a  kindergarten  of  six  chil- 
dren (all  her  own) ,  was  also  an  honored  guest  at 
the  affair. 

Robert  C.  Heim,  '24,  president  of  the  club,  in  in- 
troducing  Dr.    Riemer,    read    a    letter    from    Ralph 

Haller,   '08,  who  recounted   acting  with  Leo  Rock- 
ed 

well  under  Dr.  Riemer's  direction  in  a  play,  "Einer 
Muss  Heiraten."  Heim  told,  also,  of  the  escapade 
of  Hans  Riemer,  now  a  famous  criminologist,  who 
got  himself  convicted  and  put  in  jail  in  Kansas,  he 
and  Alf  Landon,  the  Governor  of  Kansas,  beine  the 
only  ones  who  knew  that  it  was  a  phony. 

After  reminiscing  on  old  times  at  Bucknell,  Dr. 
Riemer  read  a  paper  on  the  place  of  the  college 
graduate  in  the  civic  life  of  the  nation.  He  re- 
minded the  group  that  the  college  graduate,  having 
received  much,  owes  much  to  the  maintenance  of 
democracy.  Following  his  address  his  two  sons, 
Commander  Carl  Riemer  of  the  legal  department 

of  the  Coast  Guard,  and  Dr.  Huto  Riemer,   Buck- 
et ' 

nell  '29,  spoke  briefly. 

F.  G.  Davis,  '11,  acting  alumni  secretary,  re- 
counted some  of  the  accomplishments  of  Bucknell 
faculty  and  alumni. 

South  Jersey  Alumni  Club 

One  of  the  most  original  and  enjoyable  alumni 
meetings  of  the  year  was  staged  by  the  Bucknell 
Alumni  Club  of  Southern  New  Jersey,  of  which 
Lawrence  M.  Kimball,  '23,  is  president.    It  was  held 


on  June  8  and  about  50  were  present.  Kimball  had 
ordered  a  set  of  Bucknell  Glee  Club  recordings  and 
a  Bucknell  banner  as  prizes  for  a  contest  which  was 
planned.     We  quote  from  Kimball's  report: 

"The  records  arrived  in  perfect  condition 
and  Judge  Elmer  B.  Woods,  TO,  of  Pitman, 
won  these  as  our  first  prize  in  the  Bucknell 
Bingo  game.  Frances  Harris,  '27,  was  awarded 
the  banner  as  second  prize. 

"Our  program  included  a  short  play  by  mem- 
bers of  the  Woodbury  Sketch  Club,  entitled 
'Ring  on  Her  Finger,'  and  the  showing  of  snap- 
shots, brought  by  the  alumni,  by  means  of  a 
balopticon.  The  pictures  of  the  grads  back  in 
their  campus  days  brought  many  chuckles. 

"Dr.  E.  H.  Dutton,  '98,  gave  the  invocation, 
and  Mrs.  George  Gehring,  whose  husband  was 
in  the  Class  of  '23,  played  the  piano  for  the 
singing  of  Bucknell  songs.  The  Bucknell  Glee 
Club  entertained  during  the  dinner  by  way  of 
the  records. 

"We  were  happy  to  have  Jim  Tyson,  '11,  with 
us  as  a  representative  of  the  Philadelphia  Club. 
Betty  Robb,  '29,  acting  as  secretary,  read  the 
minutes. 

"Members  of  the  reception  committee  in- 
cluded George  W.  Mathieson,  '22,  John  Gurney 
Sholl,  TO,  Kirby  Walls,  '29,  Edna  Baker,  '22, 
and  George  Gehring,  '23. 

"The  following  members  of  the  executive 
committee  were  introduced:  Dr.  Mabel  G. 
Lesher,  '01,  Lawrence  Scotti,  '28,  Mrs.  Gertrude 
Dennis,  '39,  John  L.  Kohl,  '32,  and  Edwin  D. 
Robb,  '24. 

"The  program  was  in  charge  of  Kenneth  W. 
Slifer,  '26,  Caryl  D.  Slifer,  '27,  and  John  L. 
Kohl,  '32. 

"The  writer,  as  president  of  the  club,  pre- 
sided." 

It  is  not  often  that  a  club  announcement  of  a  meet- 
ing is  quoted.  We  make  an  exception  here  in  the 
hope  that  this  may  be  suggestive  to  clubs  that  wish 
to  rejuvenate  their  membership. 


RECEIVES  PURPLE  HEART 

Chaplain  Ward  E.  Gage,  '38,  U.  S.  Army,  was 
awarded  the  Purple  Heart  recently  following  action 
on  the  Anzio  beachhead.  Before  entering  service. 
Chaplain  Gage  was  head  dormitory  counselor  and 
graduate  assistant  in  religion  at  Bucknell.

SPOTLIGHT  BAND  VISITS  BUCKNELL 

The  Coca-Cola  Company,  honoring  the  Navy  V-12 
Unit,  brought  Prima's  Band  to  the  Davis  Gymnasium 
Saturday  evening,  June  3.  It  was  a  colorful  band 
with  a  rollicking  program  that  stayed  with  the  crowd 
for  two  hours  after  the  broadcast  was  over.

(A  brainstorm  of  Kenneth  W.  Slifer,  '26) 


Dear  Bucknellian  : 

Our  South  Jersey  Alumni  Club  used  to  have  two  meetings  a  year.  We've  cut  it  down  to  one  for 
the  duration.     But  we're  going  to  make  that  one  party  TWICE  as  much  fun! 

This  year's  reunion  will  be  a  big  dinner  in  the  recently  renovated  Woodbury  Country  Club — where 
the  food  is  so  good  that  it's  tough  to  find  an  open  evening.  In  fact,  we  ran  into  a  traffic  jam  after  the 
first  cards  were  mailed,  and  had  to  move  our  date  up  a  day  to  Thursday,  June  8. 

President  Larry  Kimball  will  throw  out  the  first  olive  at  7  P.  M.  sharp.  Genial  John  Proctor,  Club 
Steward,  presents  the  following  menu  for  your  approval  —  and  he's  so  sure  you'll  like  it  that  he  prom- 
ises your  money  back  promptly  if  you  don't  get  all  you  can  eat!  Olives,  celery,  fruit  cup,  roast  duck 
with  applesauce,  new  potatoes  with  cream  sauce,  new  lima  beans,  combination  salad,  rolls  with  plenty 
of  butter,  ice  cream,  cake  and  coffee.    (Forgive  this  informal  type  style.     We're  saving  paper.) 

As  another  wartime  innovation,  there  will  be  NO  SPEECHES— but  a  brief  and  breezy  program 
that  will  leave  you  time  to  talk  to  the  old  friends  you  don't  see  so  often  any  more.  We'll  have  an 
amusing  stunt  with  prizes,  a  one-act  comedy  by  four  members  of  the  Woodbury  Sketch  Club,  and  we'll 
project  on  a  screen  the  funniest  snapshots  you  can  find  in  your  Bucknell  scrapbook.  Pick  out  at  least 
two,  of  yourself  or  some  other  South  Jerseyite,  as  you  were  in  your  college  daze. 

This  once-a-year  bargain  blowout  is  all  yours  for  $2— and  no  ration  coupons.  Thursday  is  maid's 
night  out  (remember?)  so  make  it  your  night  out,  too.     Do  all  these  things  in  this  order: 

1.  Sign  the  enclosed  card  and  mail  it  now  before  you  forget. 

2.  Put  an  orange-and-blue  circle  around  June  8  on  your  calendar. 

3.  Broadcast  the  news  to  your  Bucknell  friends.     Address  lists  change  fast  these  days. 

4.  Make  up  a  car  pool  or  borrow  a  bus  ticket. 

5.  Bring  two  snapshots  to  be  screened  so  we  can  all  laugh  with  you! 

The  biggest  parties  we  ever  had  were  held  at  Woodbury.     Let's  repeat  on  June  8! 

Your  Officers  (all  of  'em).

Lewisburg,  Pa.  We  regret  that  we  cannot  insert  a  more  easily  removable  ballot.  Our  reason  for  not  doing 
so  is  that  the  Post  Office  regulations  will  not  permit  it. 

Important:    No  votes  will  be  counted  which  reach  the   Alumni   Office   later   than   August   25,    1944.

lege  to  vote  for  one  of  the  candidates.    Please  mail 
your  ballot  now. 

With  this  issue  The  Bucknell  Alumnus  makes 
its  bow.  By  the  unanimous  vote  of  the  Board  of 
Directors  the  name  of  the  old  Monthly  was  changed 
to  Alumnus.  We  think  it  more  clearly  indicates  the 
real  purpose  of  the  publication. 

Stories  of  citations  and  decorations  to  Bucknel- 
lians  in  the  fighting  forces  continue  to  pour  into  the 
Alumni  Office.  Stories  of  the  heroic  deeds  will  be 
published  just  as  soon  as  space  permits.  We  are  also 
limited  in  the  amount  of  newsprint  paper. 

Elsewhere  in  this  issue  you  will  see  the  account 
of  honorary  degrees  conferred  upon  outstanding 
Bucknellians  at  the  last  Commencement.  It  is  with 
pride  that  we  bow  in  their  honor. 

Sincerely  yours, 
W.  C.  Lowther,  President, 
General  Alumni  Association.

Dear  Bucknellians: 

Vote  for  Alumni  Trustee.  It  is  your  right  and 
privilege. 

At  the  suggestion  of  numerous  alumni  your  Board 
of  Directors  postponed  the  closing  date  for  nomi- 
nations for  alumni  trustee.  This  move  resulted  in 
an  unprecedented  number  of  names  submitted  to  the 
nominating  committee.  From  the  total  number  of 
fifteen  names  the  committee  chose  two  outstanding 
and  capable  alumni  as  candidates  for  the  office.  In 
our  democratic  way  of  life  it  is  your  right  and  privi-

(^7)eARL  HARBOR  came  to  all  of  us  as  a  tre- 
J  mendous  shock.  The  nation  was  mobilized 
for  all-out  prosecution  of  the  war.  At  the  call  of 
President  Marts,  Bucknell  reduced  extracurricular 
activities,  cancelled  all  but  the  bare  essentials  of 
Commencement  formalities  and  proceeded  to  work 
consistently  for  victory.  It  was  not  expected  that 
alumni  clubs  covering  a  wide  territory  and  requiring 
much  travel  would  hold  frequent  meetings.  It  was 
hoped  that  those  in  large  centers  where  transporta- 
tion is  not  a  problem  would  continue  their  programs 
with  all  the  enthusiasm  that  loyal  Bucknellians  regu- 
larly show.  This  has  been  true  with  clubs  in  New 
York  City,  Washington,  Pittsburgh,  Harrisburg,  Chi- 
cago, Trenton,  Binghamton,  Shamokin,  York,  Sun- 
bury,  Lewisburg  and  South  Jersey.  At  the  request 
of  Dr.  Henry  G.  W.  Smith  of  Detroit,  where  a  club 
has  not  yet  been  organized,  the  Alumni  Office  sent 
to  each  Bucknellian  in  the  area  a  list  of  names  and 
addresses  of  his  confreres.  It  was  hoped  that  a  num- 
ber of  alumni  in  the  Detroit  area  would  get  together, 
in  small  groups  at  least,  and  that  these  meetings 
would  lead  to  the  organization  of  a  Bucknell  Alumni 
Club  when  the  war  is  over  and  a  bit  of  relaxation 
is  possible.  The  Alumni  Office  will  gladly  coop- 
erate in  keeping  alumni  in  other  areas  apprised  of 
which  Bucknellians  are  in  the  locality. 

The  acting  secretary  attended  the  meetings  of  the 
American  Alumni  Council  in  Chicago  in  May  and 
was  interested  in  hearing  of  the  alumni  activities 
of  other  colleges.  He  was  a  bit  surprised  to  learn 
that  alumni  clubs  of  some  institutions  are  going 
stronger  than  ever.  It  is  hoped  that  wherever  pos- 
sible Bucknell  clubs  will  become  infused  with  that 
old  fire  and  make  the  coming  year  the  best  of  the 
wartime  period.

Ludwig  will  be  assisted  by  Russell  Wright,  who 
has  been  working  in  our  physical  education  depart- 
ment for  the  past  six  months.  Wright  is  a  seasoned 
athletic  man,  a  graduate  and  former  player  at  the 
University  of  West  Virginia,  and  a  successful  high 
school  coach. 

We  shall  probably  play  an  eight-game  schedule 
in  soccer.  Six  of  these  games  have  already  been  ar- 
ranged, as  follows:  Sept.  23,  Muhlenberg,  away; 
Oct.  7,  Penn  State,  away;  Oct.  14,  Bloomsburg  State 
Teachers,  home;  Oct.  28,  Bloomsburg  State  Teach- 
ers, away;  Nov.  11,  Muhlenberg,  home;  Nov.  15, 
Navy,  away. 


C^^HE  General  Alumni  Association  had  a  strictly 
\_J  skeleton  meeting  this  year  in  Larison  Hall  liv- 
ing room  on  Friday,  June  23,  at  4:00  p.  m.  The 
acting  secretary  was  in  the  chair,  and  the  business 
was  brief.  It  consisted  of  reelection  of  the  current 
officers  for  another  year  and  the  reelection  of  two 
members  of  the  Board  of  Directors — O.  V.  W. 
Hawkins,  '13,  and  Edgar  A.  Snyder,  '11 — for  an- 
other three-year  term.  A  motion  was  carried  that 
President  W.  C.  Lowther,  '14,  be  authorized  to  name 
the  committee  of  five  to  select  nominees  for  the 
alumni  trustee  vacancy  which  will  occur  in  June, 
1945. 

On  Saturday  at  3:00  p.m.  a  meeting  of  the  Board 
of  Directors  was  held  in  the  Alumni  Office.  Present 
were  O.  V.  W.  Hawkins,  '13,  Miller  A.  Johnson,  '20, 
William  Irvin,  '22,  Edgar  A.  Snyder,  '11,  and  Frank 
G.  Davis,  '11,  acting  alumni  secretary.  A  motion 
was  carried  unanimously  that  the  name  of  the 
Bucknell  Alumni  Monthly  be  changed  to  The  Buck- 
nell Alumnus.  A  motion  was  carried  that  the 
date  of  election  of  alumni  trustee  be  postponed  until 
the  December  meeting  of  the  Board  of  Trustees  of 
the  University  and  that  the  nominating  committee 
be  instructed  to  send  out  ballots  in  the  July  number 
of  The  Bucknell  Alumnus.  A  motion  was  car- 
ried that  President  Lowther  be  asked  to  instruct  his 
nominating  committee  to  have  their  selections  in  the 
hands  of  the  acting  secretary  not  later  than  July  15. 


Merle  Edwards,  one  of  our  veteran  coaches,  will 
be  in  charge  of  soccer.  The  team  a  year  ago  was 
composed  largely  of  civilian  students.  Here  again 
the  coach  will  have  to  build  a  new  team  and  will 
have  to  look  to  the  trainees  for  a  larger  percentage 
of  players. 

However,  if  the  newer  crop  of  trainees  approxi- 
mates the  athletic  talents  of  the  1943-44  group,  the 
Bucknell  record  will  need  no  apologies.  During  the 
year,  competing  in  six  sports,  the  Bisons  scored  32 
victories  against  15  defeats  and  two  ties,  for  a  won- 
lost  average  of  .681,  well  above  the  average. 

Highlighting  the  year's  achievements  was  the  base- 
ball team,  which  had  the  best  record  of  any  Bucknell 
nine  in  the  past  32  years.  Winning  10  games  in  12 
starts,  the  Bison  diamond  men  defeated  Pitt,  Penn 
State  and  Villanova,  among  others.  John  Kelly, 
lend-leased  from  Pitt  via  V-12,  was  the  star,  pitch- 
ing six  straight  victories  without  a  defeat;  he  shut 
out  both  Penn  State  and  Villanova.  Kelly's  control 
was  phenomenal;  in  more  than  60  innings  of 
hurling  he  issued  only  four  bases  on  balls.
