PREFACE
''Yale is a place for work." But there were lapses, too, as
we remember it, and the lapses are pleasant memories not to
be forgotten. The object of this l)ook is to photograph a few
of them for your enjoyment. Little attention has been given
to organized extra-curriculum activities, not for the purpose
of minimizing their importance, but because these other inci-
dents have greater power to keep alive pleasant memories.
When the members of the Class have become scattered, it is
hoped that these pages may help them to look liack upon Yale
and wish to become again undergraduates to be excluded from
the Graduates Club along with "Ladies and dogs."
One last word — do not be modest in supplying your secre-
tarv with facts about yourself.
To
James W. D. Ingersoll,
Guide aij^d Friend,
This Volume is Affectionately Dedicated
BY THE Class.

HISTOEY OF THE CLASS
• FRESH.A[AX YEAR
"Youth is the Heyday of Romanee.'" My task here is to
set down the history of Youth, the Infancy, of the Ch\ss of
lUKi. If the episodes of that time, as written here, seem a
bit unbelievable, lay it to the romance of youth.
Ours was the ''g-reatest" class that had ever entered Yale,
for it numbered 412. Old Alumni Hall had been torn down
against the day of our coming and Wright Hall erected in its
stead. The half of the class fortunate enough to gain admit-
tance to the palatial quarters of Wright accepted their lot
without a murmur and the rest were contented with dwelling
in "262 York" or within the recesses of Pierson, where one
soon learned to don a miner's cap and light on entering the
lower hall.
We found mutual friends in the Roseys, Cornelius and Klig,
and enemies in the army of solicitors which assaulted our doors
and tricked us into "signing up" for a hundred-and-one dif-
ferent things. It was not until the night of September 26,
however, that we realized that we were an entity — the Class
of 1916.
The marshals of the rush called "Xineteen-sixteen this way"
and, in time, some of the more daring of our classmates took
up the cry. The parade formed in front of Osborn and, with
the Second Regiment Band at its head, marched down College
Street to Elm and l>ack to the Campus, where the wrestling
HISTORY OF THE CLASS
niatchcs were held. Our own Dick Gnrlcy was aoclainiod
the champion of 1910 rights in the lightweight bout and was
pitted against George Ewung of 1915. Ewing obtained a fall.
Bull Roberts won from G. Gardner of 1915 and Bayne Denegre
threw Wes Oler in an exciting match in the hcav^"^vcig•ht
division.
The rush itself was the first ever held on the Campus, faculty
decree having brought that time-honored institution over from
York Street. The Class of 19 10 defended a goal formed by
two elms at the end of Connecticut, while the Sophomores
presented a formidable array before Durfee. The Sophomores
pursued a ''watchful waiting" policy while the Freshmen
went at top speed down the Campus, shouldering the push-ball
before them. The tussle which ensued w^as a memorable one,
especially for the men who got under the ball in the scramble.
The 1910 defense was adamant and, as a result of the dead-
lock w'hich ensued, 1915 set in motion a flank movement which
placed the push-ball in a prominent position on Dwaght Hall
steps, when the marshals called the rush a draw.
The cheering in Wright Court, after we had been assembled
by the Senior ''Y" men who acted as marshals, started a bit
haltingly, but by degrees assumed volume and the words came
with certainty. At last we felt that w^e knew the Yale cheer,
and the crowd — the first formal gathering of 1910 — broke up.
The Pierson contingent and Wright Hall men who ventured
off the campus had numerous exciting encounters with
''townies" armed with lead pipes and clubs, with the result
that many caps w'ere lost; and Bunny Burgess is reputed to
have sustained a broken nose when he attempted to recapture
his hat as it was disappearing down an alley.
It was a memoral)le night. Xineteeu hundred and sixteen
had been initiated into the ways of Yale. That night four
hundred and tw^elve members of our class went over again the
events of the rush ; the flaming torches w^hich lighted the center
of the closely packed ring around the wrestlers, the jostling,
pushing, panting crowd about the push-ball, the white "Y's"
on the blue sweaters of the marshals and the cheering in the
court after the celebration — impressions as vivid now as then.
FRESHMAN YEAR
Before Names were Made
To the Freshman who had come to Xew Haven with the idea
that his studies would be all that was required of him, Sep-
tember 27tli was a rude awakening. On that evening was
held the formal reception for 1910 in Dwight Hall. President
Hadley offered the metaphorical handshake and opportunities
for extra-curriculum activity were pointed out by an imposing
array of leaders and captains.
The reception itself, if the truth l)e known, was a trying
affair. Upperclassmen stood in the reception line and did their
best to make the guests feel at ease. The task was a difficult
one, for little cliques of awkwardly self-conscious Freshmen
gathered in spite of the best efforts of the hosts. Propinquity,
even intimacy was forced upon us, however, for the room soon
began to fill. When President Hadley finished speaking the
room was closely packed. By the time opportunities in track
had been discussed, the temperature of the room had reached
eighty and the close of the invitation to become members of
the Lit board saw a sturdy Freshman carried out in a faint.
A wild scramble for refreshments, which consisted of frank-
furters and ginger ale served in the basement, gave the reception
the finishing touch.
The following night we went over to a part of Xew Haven
we were beo-innino' to know as ''Sheft'-town" to witness the

Temple Street bridge and suffer the penalty of heing ])laeed on
probation, as their predecessors had been, but, as leaders for
such an enterprise were lacking, we returned disa])pointed.
Shortly following this, we had our first introduction to Xew
Haven society at a tea given by President and ]\lrs. Hadley.
Half of 191() went one day and half the next so that there
were few of us who missed being present at least once. One
nienil)er of the class attended on both occasions and was mor-
tified to find President Iladley's iiuuiorv of his first visit so
perfect that a second introduction was unnecessary.
Our football team was by now in the ]n-ocess of evolution,
and October saw the development of numy men who later
were to distinguish themselves on the 'varsity. Pi(^ ^^ Jiy?
Aleck Wilson, Otis Guernsey, Herman von Holt, ]>ull Roberts
and Eddie Hubbard were among the football stars who appeared
on the hori/on. Otis developcil an uucauuy sense of direc-
tion in his toe, with the result that he tied the game with
Princeton 1910 in the final minute of ])lay l>y a lO-yard drop
kick. Our team was undefeated until the tiual game iu wliich
the Harvard Freshmen ])eat us by a scor(^ of IS to 17.

a sweater. Johnny Fitzpatriek was another to ""make" tlit
Freshman eight. The fonr-oared erew was entirely nncon-
taminated l)y Shelf intlnenee. In the bow was Sam (iaillard,
wrestler and sing-le-senller. At Xo. ;> was Phil Schwartz,
whose high-erowned hat was later destined to bob in and out
in a Connectient orchard, where he led the life of the tradi-
tional country squire. At Xo. '1 was Charlie Dickey, the hockey
player, while at stroke was Heiny Hume, whose crimson thatch
made a port light quite unnecessary. The 101(5 representation
on the squad was completed l)y Warren liansom, who became
the pride of the "Ferry'' by virtue of his ability to consume
Beechnut gum.
October saw our class split in twain over the wcndd's series.
One half, led by Roly Vaughn, averred the lied Sox would
wipe the earth with the Giants, while Art Lane and his fol-
lowers insisted that the hub of the baseball world was Xew

track meet at the Field on October 17th, 1910 took the palm
with 4!t points, the Juniors lieing second with 381/. points.
Our first glimpse of the Whiffcupoofs came on XoV('Uil)er 9th
at the Brown game. Two days later we went to the gym and
practiced songs and cheers for the Princeton game. The fol-
lowing Saturday saw an exodns to Princeton, when Pumpelly
in the final minute of ]»lay made himself famous In- a ol-yard
drop kick, tying the score at (5 to 0.
On Xovember 23d, President Hadley and a score or more
of capped and gowned graduates outflanked the matutinal
h^inns of Dwight and the automobile klaxons from Elm Street
and made their voices sufficiently audible to dedicate formally
Wright Hall. At the close of the first term exams caught
some of us amidships, and with our number somewhat reduced
by a broadside from the Dean's Office, we proceeded full speed
ahead to our homes on December 19th.
The Christmas festivities over, February saw Gerty Hoffman
and Gaby Deslys come and go in rapid succession, the appear-
ance of the latter being notable for the fact that there was no
riot. Xewspapers of the morning of February IGtli had head-
lines, "Four Faint as Dean Brown Prays,'' an allusion to the
happenings in Woolsey during the morning chapel of the
previous day. Bed Rumelin soon after came into his own
and discovered a silver mine located in the telephone in the

proved eminently snccessful
for Red strnck a pay streak
of nickels, dimes and qnar-
ters. Eddie Ocumpaugh
had already qualified for
the honor he was to win
later as Yale's best dressed
man.
The approach of Washing-
ton's birthday was the signal
for the death knell of a Yale
tradition known as Washing-
ton's Birthday rush. At noon
of February 20th, the class of 1915 met and decided to stay
away from the rush. iSTevertheless it was our class that per-
formed the obsequies over this ancient custom for at 6.15
o'clock that evening 1916 met in solemn conclave in Osborn,
and, urged by some of Aleck Wilson's oratory, took the same
action.
March brought us an insight into the Dr. Jekyll and Mr.
Hyde existence of our contemporaries in Sheif through Gundel-
finger's "Ice Lens." About this time jSTaomi eloped from the
Old Eli with a Sheff Freshman and thus rid Yale of a tradi-
tional fraud. This "heroine-worship" was not confined to
Sheff, however, for Edna attracted huge crowds at the Studio,
where our class unfailingly maintained a watchful represen-
tation from 11 to 11.
With the first snowfall, the chaste profile of Wright began
to assume a dilapidated appearance, as sofa cushions replaced
window panes. Bills for repairs followed from the Bursar's
Office with alarming frequency.
Pierson gained an unsavory reputation with the Xew Haven
police. The balconies on the fifth floor were particularly

they reaclicd tlic tilth tloor tlie occnitants were "fast asleep."
Wild J.)ill Kckman and Herman von Holt were the leading
spirits in the Pierson uprisings. They "reaped the whirl-
wind" in the spring when the Dean's OtHce placed the entire
fifth floor on probation for attempting a return to the barbaric
])ractice of "bottle night."
All the electric lights in Wright Hall went out on the night
of ^larch 14tli. Heads were stuck out of windows and burning
papers were thrown out into the court and piled into a bonfire.
Someone appeared with a bass-drum and we had a procession
through Sheff-town and down Chapel Street.
Spring vacation of Freshman year was a welcome relief
from the exactions of scholastic endeavor. To those westerners
who returned home, it was particularly pleasant, for the Dayton
flood prevented their return on time and a special (lis])cnsation
from the Dean's Office excused the cuts. On our return we

Professor W. H. Taft was fittingly weleomed on April 1st
bv a hngli procession which accompanied the former-president
to Woolsev Hall, where he delivered a brief speech. Don Fitts
upheld the honor of 1916 by out-generalling" the Xew York
photographers. He crawled out on the coping of The Dining
Hall and obtained a remarkable photograph of the new Kent
Professor of Law making his maiden speech as a member of
the Yale faculty.
Romance entered our midst in A])ril. On the thirteenth the
Convict Slave ship tied up at the city wharf and a dozen-odd
stevedores, fittingly disguised as convicts and laden with the
perennial ball and chain, marched through the streets, guarded
by a man with a rifle. The imagination of 1910 was so stirred
by the sight that half the class, urged on by magazine offers
of "fabulous fortunes for fine film features," began writing
movie plays. Otts Wood and George Dovenmuehle came the
nearest of anyone to making money, George having seventy-
nine manuscripts, containing thirty times as many scenarios,
rejected.
The annual Spring Pegatta on Xew Haven harbor was fol-
lowed quickly by Omega Laml)da Chi and Tap Day. On
May 13th we were brought closely in touch with the latter
ceremony when we were called to a class meeting of 1916 and

(lil Porter and Archie McLeish effected the transfer of that
ancient collection of initials. The flow of wit and vei-biau'c,
excellent in themselves, gave a stimulus to introspection on the
part of members of 15)10 which had not been afforded since the
night of our rush. We had run the first lap of our college race.
Some had dro])ped by the wayside, others had achieved the
heights and yet every man, no matter what his deeds or mis-
deeds, had had a part in the history of Freslnnan year.

There have l»eeii histories of
iniisic, of art, of nations and of
races, of revolutions and of
movements. Sneh tales as these
we have known hnt too well
in classroom and lecture hall.
They are old. old stories to our
tutored ears and havino- gained
our knowledge of them we have lost our interest. There is
one history, however, which cannot l)e classified except with
itself. It has to do neither with the throbbing of stringed
instruments in the night air nor the tap of chisel on marble.
It cannot deal with the whole of one nation or race for it is
concerned with fractions of many nations and many races. Xo
wild upheaval is recorded in its pages, it tells of no movement
set on foot to make tremble the walls of tradition. The History
of the Sophomore year of 19 10 is something new and strange,
something unheard of. It is the history of a flow. With the
spirits of youth — at least we hope it was youth — the class flowed
undisturbed from baccalaureate to commencement.
The day was Wednesday, the twenty-fourth of September.
In clusters of fives and sixes, birddike, they clung to the bars
of their newly acquired fence, and spoke knowingly of many
things, for once they had been grubs, but now they had cast off
their embryonic husks and emerged great gorgeous butterflies.
It was thus that the sons of 1916 returned at the beginning of
Sophomore year. The initial appearance w^as unpropitious.
The gods of chance turned their faces from us and we struggled
helpless against foreordained defeat. Of course it was mere
hard luck that we obtained only one decision of the three bouts
in wrestling, but in the rush we were unmitigatedly roasted.
We charged unopposed from Durfee to Connecticut and should
have been awarded the laurels of victory on the spot. The
marshals, however, were biased and made us charge again. The
Freshmen breathed an atmosphere of deceit from the Seniors

The decision went to the class of
r.nT.
Still, the misfortunes of our
first day were soon forgotten in
the rush of duties. Having
l)een worsted by the Freshmen
in brutal physical combat, we
contrived a diabolical revenge
and sent Carrington, Coleman,
Guernsey, Hadley, Tener, Tighe, Tittman and A. Wilson to
extend our welcome to them in Dwight Plall, after which
diplomatic stroke w^e considered them suthcientl}^ cowed and
proceeded forthwith to forget their existence.
The days passed merrily and in their due course. Hampton,
while the warm weather lasted, became deeply addicted to noc-
turnal rambles wherein he communed, we trust, with nature.
Caldwell developed a consuming interest in culture and could
be seem almost any day staggering out of the library with an
armful of choice and ancient books on damnonology or the art
of after-dinner speaking in the twelfth century. Apart from
this there was little that was distinctive in the class. But few
of us had become such individuals that we could brazenly
remain seated during the prayers in chapel, though, to be sure,
there were developing evident leanings towards such a state of
aifairs. Some joined strange organizations, thereby gathering
charms for their watch chains, and swearing eternal brother-
hood against the vagaries of the world. Others, divesting
themselves of all digTiity, acquired a true scientific craving,
and went in pursuit of the earthworm, blithely imitating the
pitter patter of rain drops and crawling on all fours about
the precincts of the campus. Almost any bright day brought
forth half a hundred crouching figures that tapped persist-
ently with the middle finger of the right hand, all for the keen

the earthworm when he crawled forth
to tiiid not rain<lroj)s, hut a blinding
sun. The lirst incident which dis-
turbed our rustic quiet was the elec-
tion of the Sophomore German com-
mittee. We met for the last time as
a class in Osborn, and after what
seemed like hours of fruitless ballot-
ting, expressed our choice. We chose
with perspicacity, we chose wnth an
eve to the delighting of the feminity
which was to grace our German, and
in the hands of Elmore Bostwick as
chairman, Don Shepard as floor manager, with Wes Oler, Gil
Porter and Alec Wilson composing the rest of the Committee,
we placed the honor of the class as an organization of fussers.
Throughout the first month of
the term the crew had been toil-
ing nnthanked and unnoticed
about the oily sewers of Xew
Haven harbor. Seth Low was
rowing bow and Johnny Fitz-
patrick iSTo. 6, Every morning
saw them depart w^ith empty
stomachs to sport with the cruel
weaves of the sound at that par-
ticularly witching hour of the
day when everyone who is think-
ing of going to bed has gone,
and those who are getting up
have not yet done so. The idea
seems to be that the early l)ird
can catch the worm. In this
case, however, the proverb was
faulty, for when they rowed at g q s.— Pkofessor Leipeb

October the worm refused to be cani»,'lit, and in spite of many
g-ame sprints Princeton won. A week later the first Adee with
Bunker, Mnnson, Hume, Gaillard and Pratt, and a few incon-
sequential upperclassmen defeated the iirst Dunhams who had
only three members of the class — Dickey, Ransom and Putnam.
About this time certain unmentionable Junior organizations
began to prove a fertile source of conversation about the class.
After two weeks of calling, forced conversation and free cigar-
ettes, a large crowd gathered on the corner of the campus nearest
Battell. Strange happenings took place behind the walls of the
Sophomore dormitories, while maniacs upon the stroke of seven
shrieked unintelligible ejaculations at ears that had become
chilled with fear. A little later on Calcium Light ISTight,
ninety-nine men of the Class of 1916, whose names have now
become obscured in the forward march of time, were enrolled
into live separate, rollicking brotherhoods.
Beneath this tinsel of recreation, however, as an undertone
to the shrill cry of the aesthete on discovering a latent feature
of beauty in Greek mythology and the hoarse croak of the
philosopher solving the riddle of his own little world, and try-
ing to apply his solution to the world at large, the football
team, doggedly, though not brilliantly, was struggling onward.
Finally, after its full share of ups and downs the team lined
up against Princeton, and much to the dismay of the newspaper
prophets, proceeded to outplay their opponents from start to
finish, on two occasions just missing breaking a tie of 3-3 by a
matter of inches. Otis Guernsey scored one goal. Alec Wilson
was the star of the hour, his work at quarterback ''was the

most brilliant exhibition of football of the afternoon." A week
later the team went down to defeat at the hands of Ham-ard
in spite of a game struggle. In the final squad our class was
represented bv Guernsey, Wilson and Hubl)ard, who won their
letters, and Miller, Maleom, Way, Roberts, Cowles and von
Holt.
The month of Xovember saw the Dramatic Association whip-
ping its actors into shape for the Christmas trip, and Kin Tener,
our manager, to be, calmly deciding momentous questions with
a simple '\ves" or "no.'' The presentation during the vaca-
tion was as usual a great success. In the cast 1916 was
represented by Rowland Wilson, whose acting was *'a very
subtle and convincing study."
Meanwhile, the rest of the world was becoming famous or
infamous as chance directed. Mudge, Elkin and Grant
developed remarkable histrionic abilities, and out of the full-
ness of their brains concocted a shadowgraph performance
which sent shivers of shame into the breasts of their classmates
and drove Dame Grundy, shrieking in hysteria forever from
the campus. The conception was hideous, the execution of
the piece fiendishly realistic.
Don Malcom and Bob Coleman, better known perhaps as
22
HISTORY OF THE CLASS
S. R. O.
Rob, were likewise seeking the limelight of fame. They had
been down town one evening and were returning arm in arm
and glowing internally with benefaction for mankind, towards
the campus. It is unknown to this day whether it was Don or
Rob that first brought forth the idea. At any rate, they both
deserve credit for the brilliance of their imaginations. Of
Chapel Street they constructed a green, grassy level field, of
the passersby they made great Harvard football warriors, each
with a ball which he was seeking to put across the bulldog's
goal line in the distance where Riker's marked the intersection
of Church Street. Don was a halfback and Rob an end. Rob
was the first to spring to fame. In a swooping dive that set
the imaginary stands screaming with delight, he tackled and
brought to earth an elderly Italian. Don followed with a
robust German. After that nationalities became indistinguish-
able, and it was onlv when the fallen figures numlx'red fortv

or more that Don remarked to Eol) on the lateness of the honr,
and they hastened into the sacred grounds of the campns where
none of the nnelite durst follow, just ninety feet ahead of the
leader of a hungry mob.
So the time rolled itself onward to the semi-annual examina-
tions, a feature new in the Yalensian calendar. After much
desperate ruffling of hair and muttering of curses we emerged
from one slough of despond. The faculty in a moment of gen-
erosity had decreed three days of freedom for the celebration of
the Promenade, and happy in the anticipation of the results of
this unwonted softness of heart we were enfolded deliciously
into the lap of silkiness and the whirl of feminine festivities.
On Washington's Birthday we continued in the path blazed
the year before by 191."), and refused to meet the Freshmen
in the usual vulgar rush in which we w^ere armed with canes.
Instead, as twilight was merging into dark and the long shadows
from Vanderbilt disappeared on the background of soft wet
snow of the campus, we crept forth from our habitations to
demolish the forces of the Freshmen. With aching fingers
we moulded balls of ice and hurled them at the windows of
Wright. In a moment all was chaos. For an hour war raged,
favor first leaning to one side, then to the other, but at the
last we emerged triumphant over the forces of 1917.

During the course of the winter, Hockey was given its place
amongst the most important of the minor sports by the buikling
of an artiticial ice rink, hut the team was handicapped for the
season by the lateness of its completion. In spite, therefore, of
the fact that Yale enjoyed the services of Aldrich, Sproul,

vard and Princeton. The swimming team, on the other hand,
enjoyed one of the most successful seasons in the history of
the League. Yale, with the aid of von Holt, Howe, Fitzpatrick
and Symington, won the championship.
In the field of letters our class shone as a star to men. In
the fall Horchow and Smith were added to the Xeirs board.
Towards the middle of the year, Iladley and Murphy argued
l>rillinutly with the best of the debaters. Lewis Bredin and
Clem Ripley made the Becord board in the very beginning of
the fall term, Downey and Buck were taken on in the spring.
Doc Walker, Curt Mnnson and Dave Hamilton astounded the
world and broke all records in their phenomenal struggle for
places on the board of the Yale Literary Magazine. The run
was neck and neck, while the remainder of an unusually large
field followed not far behind.
About this time George Haven had a birthday! Xow we
are well aware that birthdays are not such rare events in human
aft'airs that any one may be mentioned as an exceptional
occurrence. Xow and then we all have them. It is the natural

lifetime may be led to expect at least one twenty-first birthday.

HISTORY OF THE CLASS
Hence the reader of this ac-

justify the mention of a natal
(lay simply because it is the
twenty-first, and has nothing
whatsoever to do with George
W'ashiniiron, Lincoln, or even
-Icauue D'Arc. At the begin-
ning of this tale, however, we
likened the history of Sopho-
more year to a ihtw and it is
necessary at least to try and
justify that simile. Hence
we say George Haven had a
liirthday.
Thus the days came, passed
and were forgotten. The
Xew York commuters re-
turned regularly on the milk
train. The Xew Haven
dancers wore out their i)umps upon the floors of the Lawn Club.
The rest of us attended the highest class moving picture shows
and the most elite vaudeville. Elm Street crossing was black
with slush and mud. Occasionally a ray of sunlight slanted
down on the pea-green domes of Phelps. Otherwise all was
murky. Tn the midst of this desolation we turned from our

^^'ith the end of the Promenade came the beginning of work
for the crews. Yale's coaching system had been revised and
wirh the incentive this otfcrcd an exceptionally large number
of candidates made their a})pearance. The tirst event to break
the rontine of training was the Spring Kegatta. The class crew,
composed of Ilnme, Sanderson, Mnnson, Stanffer, Dickey,
Shepard, Howe, Xewton and Pratt, went do^\^l to defeat before
the far heavier Junior boat, thongh they managed after a close
struggle to nose ont the Senior crew. Then in quick succession
came the Henley regatta at Philadelphia with Johnny Fitz-
patrick rowing six, and a week later the triangular regatta at
Ithaca against Cornell and Princeton, where 1010 was repre-
sented by Seth Low and Allan McLane. This marked the end
of the preliminary training and the beginning of the serious
work for the Harvard race in June.
Towards the middle of May, as a class, we clung to the
grilled fence of Berkeley Oval and watched a strange spectacle,
the most extraordinary perhaps that was ever seen there. Our

become imbued with the idea of reform, and sought to mitigate
the horrors of Tap Day by holding the celebration on the
Oval, away from the eyes of the curious world of the campus.
They succeeded in having themselves tapped in the place of
their choosing, and incidentally in receiving a glaring light
of publicity, the like of which had never before been known.
Meantime, Lyman, Tittman, Guernsey and E. R. Wilson
had been circulating secretively about the class, and thanks
to their efforts, in the very end of May the campus blossomed
into rejuvenated hilarity, and we met to celebrate the gaieties
of Omega Lambda Chi. Though the thought of examinations
was heavy upon us, for some at least the day was not a fruitless

From then on it proceeded with varying success. Things looked
bright for a triumphant termination of the season. Harvard
had been vancpiished conclusively, Yale and Princeton had one
more game to play. Then in the very last heart-breaking
moment, Princeton won with one lone hit.
The track team had been working with its usual spirit. The
spring meet promised much for the success of the later events
nor did the fulfillment in any way disappoint the promise.
In the big meets Yale was supreme. Princeton was defeated
by a score of 87 2-5 to 16 '4-5 with the aid of Ricketts, Cowles,
Oler, Hampton, Johnstone and Buck. In the Harvard meet
Ricketts, Oler, Johnstone and Hampton scored, helping to win
by a margin of GGl/o to 3Tl/o. The three last men won their

adjourned to our rooms and to the completion of the final
examinations.
This year, howeyer, was to mark our entry into the real

occasion. From the time of the Cornell disaster the crew had
been working amidst an atmosphere of questioning from the
college at large. There did not seem much more possibility
of defeating Haryard than there had been in the six preceding
years. It was, therefore, with the added thrill of unexpected-

JUXIOR YEAE
It was on the thirtieth of September that we gathered
together from far and near ; into the Oval we flocked from
the cactus forests of Texas and ukalele groves of Hawaii, from
the skyless canyons of j^ew York and the remote places of Xew
Haven. For the first time in our history we found ourselves
an architectural unit, set apart ; and there was only Tute
to watch over us. We felt ever so nmch more than a year
older and wiser when we realized that we were mere spectators
in the fistivities of the first night ; hut the other rites of the
starting of the year were the same : there were a few days of
handshaking and "have-a-good-time-ing" — (a never failing
source of material for the Becord) — a season of untangling
chairs from the tables and sorting pictures from rugs ; a time of
bafiling the best efforts of the Dean's office and the architects
of Osborn by rediscovering our courses for the year. Then
we were off as if the Summer vacation had been only a Sunday
jaunt. But there were a few changes: a few hitherto unseen
phenomena appeared among us such as the General's smile and
salute ; and some old faces were missing. Connie Woehler,
for instance, had left Yale to fight for Vaterland.
Whatever may have been the custom back in the days when
Freshmen paled at the prospect of examinations, ice surely did
not take our ease in Junior year. In fact, even before the vari-
ous preliminary rites above-mentioned took place, some of our
number were hard at work. Among the football braves, W^ilson,

von Holt, Guernsey, Taylor, Way, Roberts, Miller and Wash-
burn were conspicuous warriors, while Carrington, in his
capacity of Assistant !^Ianager, kept them properly clothed and
fed. The old wooden stands were senang their last term, and
in them we cheered and stamped and sang and shivered and
watched, while the team piled up seven victories out of eight
games. Then we followed to Princeton, whence we returned
to our Elms rejoicing, wearing in our hats tufts of Tiger fur
which the first three of the warriors above-mentioned had helped
to capture. Meanwhile the Bowl was nearing completion. It
was opened for the first time on the occasion of the Harvard
game, though fate decreed that the real christening be post-
poned until our Senior year. Alec Wilson's work was one of
the few bright spots of the game. In fact, his performance
throughout the year marked him as the unanimous choice for
the next captain, and also j)ut him on Walter Camp's third
All- American eleven.
Football was, par excellence, the ruling passion of the Fall
term. But we were represented by skilled and talented per-
formers in every act of the college vaudeville. Anyone who
watched the Fall regatta must have noticed, interspersed in the
three 'varsity boats, such expert oar-wielders as Seth Low, Bob
Munson, Dickey, Sanderson, Ransom and Hume, not to mention
the incomparable oyster-stake dodgers, IMcLane and Pratt.
Scant-clad Juniors could be seen of an afternoon clambering

Piatt, Gulliver and Young- were rewarded by finding places on
the University team in the Intoreolleiiiate run. "Whatever
tribulations the various glee club trials furnished to others they
had no terrors for Bostwick, Chappell, Black and Jessup. We
are not told what happened on the trip during the intervals
between the concerts (which opened the eyes and ears of the
citizens of Buffalo and points West) — but rumors have been
various. Vacations are not, however, within our province. On
the Mandolin Club, Clarke, Sid :\Iiller, F. D. Downey and
Tom Hapgood survived the final cut. In the subsequent elec-
tions Bostwick and ^liller were chosen leaders and Chappell
and Downey recorders of their respective arms of the service,
while it was decreed that Anderson should, in the future, look
up trains and secure lucre. Meanwhile, still others were fol-
lowing the lure of the footlights. To Larry Tighe it was all
one whether he inspired Xews heelers with awe or audiences
with admiration. Dave Hamilton broke so many hearts among
the student body that the Dean registered a solemn and secret
oath that he would give him but one more chance to charm.
''Whisky" Wilson was scarcely less captivating; while Harry
Crocker proved that our versatile class can turn out actors as
well as actresses. It is whispered abroad that a certain sea-
man was kidnapped from the navy and draughted into the
army, where he did noble service as a guardsman, armed with
a pike ; a low, but not a menial task. Our iutlueuce was mean-
while felt in the forensic world. In the Syracuse debate the
Yale victory was largely due to the heart-felt ai-guments and
passionate appeals with which Gardiner Murphy denounced
national prohibition. Early in the Fall term we found time
to visit the haunts of our boyhood; many were the stairs we
climbed and reclimbed in the Sophomore dormitories in search
of edifying conversations and Yale types ; many the memories
we revived and many were the appeals to Rosey and Xed Howe,
the Castor and Pollux of all good dopesters. The curriculum
itself was not devoid of excitement, intellectual and otherwise.

ice on the oval ; the sun-dial was no longer a frozen mockery ;
the gay earthworm answered the rap-rap of the facetious
Junior ; Ixoly Vaughn crept out of the baseball cage, and
went on to the field, in spite of the fact that he saw his shadow;
the spring term, and spring itself, had come ! AVith it came
the three-ringed circus of major sports. Xo sooner would we
be intent upon watching Wes Oler making ready to clear six
feet or so, than Pie's marvelous winding-up would rivet our
attention to the diamond; and, on one occasion we were just
comfortal>ly settled at a baseball game when we had to be up
and oif by jitney and trolley car to Lake Whitney to witness
the Spring regatta. It was on that day that our class crew
won handily from the sophomores ; but the officials objected
to the Tirpitzian policy put into effect by Howard Putnam,
and the race was rowed again, with a less satisfactory result.
It was then, too, that Sam Gaillard displayed an ability to
row with one eye over each shoulder, which captured for him
the Single Scull title, and, later on, enabled him to defeat
the Harvard disciple of this sport on the Charles. On that
day, too, did Seth Low (unhoped-for sight) appear in a full
beard ! But this triumph was somewhat dimmed, alas, owing
to the fact that he was bearded '"gregarious, in a herd" with
some seventeen other 'Varsity seamen. The account that the
crew a;ave of itself later on is too famous to need comment.

AGAIN
At Princeton, Cornell and Princeton acknowledged our naval
supremacy, — and anyone who saw Allan McLane at the finish
of the race on the Thames cannot be in any doubt as to the
outcome of the battle with Harvard. Seth Low and Allan
McLane, Bob Munson and Charlie Pratt were at their old posts
in the "varsity and second boats respectively. After the race
Low was unanimously added to our company of Captains, while
Dan Elkin removed the "Asst."' from his former title and
became manager.
In baseball the elevation of Pie's leg as he delivered curly
ones over the inside corner was a miracle that cost us many a
ride or walk to Yale field during that spring. It was something
we had to see. It was too, a sight for which opposing batters
paid heavily — especially those of Old Xassau. Another attrac-
tion at the field was the spectacle of Harry Crocker, in
assistant-managerial shirt-sleeves, chasing the foul-tips that
cleared the stands and bumped into the unknown beyond. Roily
Vaughn came back into form for the championship series ; and
it was such incidents as his three-bagger in the "lucky seventh"
of the Harvard game that made that series worth while.
To return to the other ring of the circus, where we left Wes
Oler about to start the high jump at six feet: this height was
enough to give him the event at Princeton ; whereupon, still
not content, he glanced at the broad-jump pit, said he thought
that he had recollections of having seen something of that kind
before, and straightway took a leap at right angles to his
usual direction which added another five points to Yale's score.
48
HISTORY OF THE CLASS
Class Team — 1915
Arkie Hampton scored in the same event; while Johnnv John-
stone in the pole vault and Ricketts in the hundred contributed
likewise to the downfall of Princeton. In the Harvard meet
our delegation substantially repeated its performance. Perhaps
the most notable feature of the season was Wes Oler's high
jump in the intercollegiates, in which he broke the intercol-
legiate record by clearing six feet, four and one-half inches.
He was chosen to lead the team for the next year.
Every good circus has its side shows, and this one offers no
exception. Imported direct from Scotland, behold our heroes
of the links — Sid Farnsworth, Dick Pierce and Ham Gard-
ner ; and the greatest of these is Ham Gardner. Watch him
as he waves his stick twice or thrice majestically around his
head, and Presto, gentlemen, he has won the University title
and makes off for fresh woods and golf-links new. But hark!
What signifies that flutter of wings and crying of birds in dis-
tress ? Yonder are our militarists, slaughtering clay pigeons
for the honor of the gun team ; and if a bird escapes the fusil-
lade of iSTeil Taylor it is sure to fall before one or the other
barrels of Sterl Halstead's well-aimed piece. In a uiore peaceful
frame of mind, many of our number were occupied at the tennis
courts, and Tom Hapgood made a place on the University team
in the Intercollegiates. ''Bull" Roberts and his company of

Lacrosse players introduced a sport that had passed awav from

While athletics flourished art, too, blossomed. The Drama
made its appearance among us, and we heard Thaos bellow
blank verse to picturesque (if not Kelleresque) primitive head-
hunters, where once Alec Wilson had shouted cryptic signals
to more modern warriors. Xear the end of the term — so near,
in fact, that many of us had already declared summer vacation —
the Campus was the scene of "Harold" ; Dave Hamilton so
transcended the expectations of even the Dean that the far
above-mentioned oath of the latter took effect in the form of a
much discussed edict which is, perhaps, treated under Senior
year. Hamilton was elected to succeed Tuttle as president of

Dramat ; the long cloak of honest Steve Davenport fell
upon the shoulders of Kin Tener and reached almost to his
knees; while Baldv Allen was chosen to go before the com-
pany of maskers with trumpet and poster. This term saw
Johnny Johnstone safely installed as President of Dwight Hall ;
and the class exhibited its remarkalily keen powers of dis-
crimination in choosing Harry Ci'ocker winner of the Gordon
B rown Memor i al .
Having thus settled the weightier affairs of college life
let us take umbrellas, rain coats, and chainmail, and ven-
ture into the Oval. The reports that Tute kept a collapsi-
ble ark under his bed, ready for any sudden emergency, are
founded on reason, but seem to lack adequate substantia-
tion in. fact. Such foresight would have been commendable ;
for on one occasion the water hurled out of windows from
every receptacle from paper bags to uprooted bath-tubs would
have terrified Noah himself. The deluge attracted the atten-
tion of a crowd of interested citizens, until a neatly directed
Moran's box drove into their dampened heads the fact that
spectators spectated at their own risk. Bill Kallman's fire-
escape was always adorned with an assortment of crockery,
and it was a dry day that the sight-seeing American Express
Wagon rattled under his window undamaged by a cloudburst.
Red Burnett so mistrusted us that he would not ride around
the Oval without first donning oil-skins — a precaution which
on at least one occasion proved to be exceedingly well-taken.
The lawn-sprinkler proved to be a valuable asset to our domain.
Its uses were various ; perhaps its most unique application was
as concealed artillery. The details of the scheme were worked
out with great ingenuity — from the sprinkler hidden in the
hedge under the fence, to the final release of the distant kink
and the discomfiture of the unsuspecting victim, whose attitude
was not unlike that of a man who sits unawares on a beehive.
Some sports were transplanted from our former abodes on the
campus ; bicycle races, for instance, flourished among us again.
The bicycle record around the Oval was never committed to
the archives, and seems to have passed from the memory of
man. The only available tradition puts it at three broken spokes
JUNIOR YEAR 51
and a pair of bent handle bars, attributed to Closson. As
for power machines, the scars still worn by Xorm Finch and
Jess James proclaim these two the champion tandem-smashers-
into-Baker-electrics — a title which most of us will gi*ant without
protest.
Those who date the first military activity at Yale with our
Senior year are mistaken by several months. Why our king-
dom was invaded is still a question for future historians; but
invaded it was and with all the accessories of modern warfare,
including trenches. We mobilized. The military experts of
the class found a drum, two swords, guns, a horse pistol, Harry
Crocker and a pick-axe. Eaw material thronged to the standard
of Arkie Hampton, recruiting officer, and the army stormed
the trench. Private Booth fell on the parapet ; Field Marshal
Eckman was left impaled in the entanglement; but the trench
was won. It w^as real war; three six-inch guns — (from the
arsenal of the city department of street drains) — three six-inch
guns were captured ; and not the least realistic touch was the
special photographic staff of the Courant, Don Fitts and Walt
Freeman, follow^ing close upon the heels of the victors. Rumors
have been rampant concerning training in another branch of
the service. Bob Munson organized a naval force for the
express purpose of teaching Wash Porter the finer points
of sailing. It w^as Wash's debut, and was duly celebrated
with such effect that it took this child of Xeptune more time
than it should have to get back his "land legs" even after
the voyage was over. Another incident in the nautical branch
of the service was the feat of Commodore Gil Porter, who
managed to steer Frank's pet shell exactly between two chan-
nels, thereby giving his crew practice in leaving a sinking ship
in due order and cold water. The spectacle was thoroughly
enjoyed by the female element of the native population.
There must be clouds even on the brightest day; a history
must record the vices as well as the virtues of those within its
scope. It is with deepest regret that w^e heard of, and with
deeper regret (if possible) that we chronicle the case of Pro-
fessor Johnson vs. Smith — for nothing less reprehensible than
house-breakino' and theft of furniture. In vain did the defend-

aut ring' his private bell to summon aid from Woodbridge Hall.
But let us drown our sorrows by plunging headlong into Omega
Lambda Chi — "an alehoholiday," to quote the Xews, ''when
evervbody was the fool, and all were on the laughing side."
A Keystone comedy, the Johnson-Willard fight, Fred Stone,
and a Tug of war, were the events around which clustered deeds
of daring and hilarity which marked May eleventh with red
ink. An occasion of even greater mirth was the class party —
our first, — at the Taft a week later. The ''Spring Chicken"
cackled in anticipation ; even the black-edged announcement of a
per capita direct tax did not keep us from turning out to the Taft
to the last man. Even ''Art" was there — (last name unknown.
He was labelled simply, "Call me Art)" — "Art" whose winning
smile quite captivated the imported Mexican charmer, Madame
Hunyadi-Janos. Talent from all over the world — Hawaii,
famous Milwaukee, and lands unknown, gave us such a brilliant
entertainment that even the most nervous forgot Rosey's lists.
Who could mourn that he had not gone out for football instead
of chess, while the inimitable Pie Way was drawing on his
fund of shadowy stories i But after the party Rosey's signs
were again hanging to every door; and small groups gathered
and buzzed and melted away, only to gather once more. Then
Tap day came and went and left everything much as it had
been long before, except that we went without our hats. And
this was an outward and visible sign that Junior year was well
behind us — that we were about to enter, very soon, into the
last stage of our college course. We were eager to become
seniors — even though the road lay through final examina-
tions— ; and yet, it was perhaps with some feeling of regret
that we cast a look backward. For those were crowded
days, those spring days of Junior year. They were filled
with all the pleasures that go to make spring terms the best ;
but we had found new and broader interests than those we had
enjoyed in either of the two preceding years; we knew each
other better ; we knew Yale better.
The whole year w^as, perhaps, to many of us, the brightest
of any of the four. To all of us it must have been a full
year, a year worth living and worth remembering. Each of
JUNIOR YEAR
53
us lived it in his own particular way; each of us must have
his own peculiar memories of it — memories so fine-woven that a
pen can only tatter them in any vain attempt to set them
down. In view of this, to write anything like a true history
of Junior year is hopelessly impossible : there are as many his-
tories as there are men in the class. This account can pretend
to be only a delving here and there into the things that inter-
ested most of us. In one sense, it belongs to the class — is
everybody's; in a far truer sense it belongs to nobody, is no
man's. It is, at best, a sort of orphan history, taken from the
asylum of black-bound volumes of the News. It has served its
purpose if an occasional reader, glancing over its pages, is
thereby tempted to spend an idle moment or two reconstructing
in his mind another history,- — his own — of Junior year.

The summer before our last and brightest was itself unusual,
thanks to the people of the Pacific coast. Perhaps half the
class accepted the tempting invitation to improve their minds
on a transcontinental journey, and to look over the wonders of
the world assembled at its close. They returned with many
new friends and experiences. Some of them actually visited
the expositions, though the majority seems to have surveyed
them from a height like Xapoleon at Moscow. In the stories
of the returning pilgrims we have heard, — the less fortunate
of us, — about everything but these affairs, which we had child-
ishly supposed were the cause of the pilgrimage. We were
wrong; they were only the excuse. As to what they were the
excuse for. it is impossible to go into very gTeat detail. We
have heard of a snake dance joined in by the President around
the lobby of a leading San Francisco hotel: Chat-Taylor dis-
covered a new way of catching lagooms at Del Monte; W. E.
Proctor's daring and successful impersonation of Phelps Put-
nam forms a small chapter of a long story. The transcon-
tinental railways were as full of your classmates as the Friday
Milk ; their exploits could be published only, if at all, in twenty
or more volumes.
But while this history was being made, five of the boys were

and spiral puttees, in the service of the Ambulance Corps. The
]\Iunson brothers, Knight Cowles, Walter Hellier and Victor
Bush Caldwell were the gallant young chauffeurs. Curtis
developed a fondness for the French peasantry and has a pic-
ture to prove it. The rumor spread that Walter had been
blown up, Ford and all, by a German shell, but though a little
late in getting back, he appeared undamaged and unchanged,
except for his upper lip. In this connection Stew-art Bullivant's
luxuriant display, so aptly compared to the rear view of a
sprinkling cart, deserves mention. In such cases it is usually
hard to recognize the mustache ; this time, however, it was
Stew that was hard to find.
The rest of us returned more or less apologetically from
prosaic summers to settle dowm to the hardship of twelve hours
a week and Chapel. Senior year was on. A deep bellow, dis-
tinguishable from among the sweet piping of the other choristers
made it certain that Bill Kallman was back and in good form,
while later in the day an inspired tenor, in that well known
Bacchic strain of "drunk last night . . .," heard so often on
the road home from Mory's, left no question about Bos Bost-
wick's being among us, though he turned out on investigation
to be in the School of ]\[usic. The Dean sent cards to the

chosen, to the effect that he was still
doing business between the nsiial
hours ; in a day it was as though
we had never been to France or
Frisco or Fordjce.
The early football games were dis-
mal on the whole, but a certain
amount of comic relief was furnished
l)_v our cheerleaders, McLane, Proc-
tor, Elkin and Low, especially Seth,
whose introduction of Russian Ballet
figures into the final ''Yale" met with
great success. Pavlowa herself might
have been jealous. His wrist motion,
too, showed the previous education
of those members under Guy ]S^ick-
alls. Bos as song leader could not

Henney Keep, and was finally forced
to give up all l)ut the arm motion. He found it hard, later, to
lead a cheer with a ten-inch pipe in mouth. Then when the
Spring-field boys began turning hand springs and back flips
our humiliation M^as complete. It was suggested that Red
Elkin be taught to do these tricks, for our sake and that of
his figure, but he could not be persuaded.
J^ew footl)all songs came from Chappell, !N'orm Finch, Lewy

Princeton game as if it had been written for the occasion.
At the Brown Game the Whiffenpoofs enacted another solemn
allegory, in which F. M. Hampton rose far above his usual
level. Morgan Spiegle made an impatient corpse, coming to
life twice before any of the others.
During the fall the University had been invaded by a secret
society of enormous extent and power, known as the Ancient
and Honorable Order of the Little Yellow dogs. Dan Collier

enterprising agents of the Xew Haven dailies that this organi-
zation was a Yale and not a national affair, and that it had
for its purpose the idea of arousing football spirit during the
sad reverses of the season. Although it is absolutely impossible
to reveal the true nature of the society's aims, still it is safe
to deny any truth for this report. The latest census shows a
total of some eight thousand fifty-two dogs.
Xearly as surprising as this in its extent, was the enlistment
in the Yale Battery. Although the Battery is not strictly a
1910 affair, it deserves mention on account of the vital part
that some of our classmates took in its foundation and early
history. Morris Hadley, whose militarism would shock our
Bryanites and intellectual preparationists, might be held per-

are prominent for one reason
or another. One valuable
part of being a member that
has l)een realized by Curt
Munson and others, but not
ret given as one of the rea-
sons for the batterv. is the
convenience of the uniform
for masquerade affairs. The
Lawn Club looked several
times like the ball room of
an army post.
When the Princeton game
came along, after the dismal
weeks of the preliminary
season, there were plenty of us who refused to stake even our
hopes on the outcome : but Otis Guernsey's long range attack
on the Princeton goal. — from the fifty-four yard line. — altered
matters in an instant. Xobody would have been afraid to be
confident after the first quarter. Then when Pi scooped up
the neglected pigskin, and frolicked lightly across the line with
it like a playful lamb, there was no doubt alwut its l>eing
another hard luck story for Princeton.
Harvard may well be passed over quickly, noting only that
Bull Poberts and Chat-Taylor got their T"s. It was on the
night of the game that Bostwick. Haven. Anderson and Smith
became honoraiw members of the Pen and Pencil Club. Shortly
after the season the Riunhounds sprang into being, and played
several hard-fought and well-lost games. Captain Littlefield
directed the attack. Johnny Jcihustone won distinction at
quarterback. However, he is responsible for one of the
defeats. — in part, — on account of a ptmt which was received
by the Freshmen on the Eumhound two-yard line. It had
plenty of height, however, and the ends had no trotilde in get-
ting under it as soon as they saw it at all. Cap Higliee and Fat
Levy were the mainstays of the line, while Sam GaiHard played
a dashins eame at end. After Ira Washburn got into the spirit

of the game all signals but his were discarded. Although the
Rumhounds had an unsuccessful season, each hound enjoyed
himself, and it is hoped that there will be future generations,
even if class football never gets officially organized.
It was about this time that the class lost forever its beloved
member Charles Morgan Spiegle, getting in return Charley
Aldrich, who is not, as far as anyone can yet discover, any
particular improvement on his predecessor. The exchange was
made with due ceremony. The attic of the Pratt University
club was brightly lit ; on the table reposed a keg of beer ; Grant
in golf trousers, silk stockings and a cutaway announced, while
G. E. Porter and D. O. Stewart with Al between them formed
the receiving line. "The Duke is dead, long live the Duke" ;
Aldrich was received as though he had been with us always ;
a good time was had by all.
After this unusual episode, Larry Lloyd, Chuck Fagan and
Ira Washburn surprised us by becoming the owners of a spirited
piece of horseflesh, in return for the sum of ten dollars. This
price will no longer seem high when it is remembered that a
wagon was thrown in with the noble animal. They bought
him out of pity on finding him stuck in a snow drift, down-
hearted and disgusted with life, and not enjoying the good
SENIOR YEAR
65
opinion of liis master, who seemed anxious to get rid of him.
Thej expect to use Burgess, — for that is his name, — as a means
of conveyance to and from the baseball games. Larry, however,
says that he does not think he will be able to use Burgess in this
way on account of being on mark probation. By tying barrel
staves onto the wheels of Burgess's barouche the equipage was
adapted to the unusually hard winter. There were other pets
in the class during the year ; John McLennan had two love
birds, Sid Miller a canary, while Paul Phoenix and Dan Wil-
lard are said to have kept gold iish in an effort at homely cheer
in the college room. Bull Roberts tried enlivening things with
a kettle drum, which had to be stolen before relief was obtained
for the rest of the entry.
Just as life at Yale was beginning to drag Otis Guernsey
announced a special excursion to N^ew York, with himself as
local manager. I^o one who went will forget the party, — how
Harry Crocker got Caruso a chair, — how Aldrich and Grant
led the singing at supper, — and especially how it felt to find
a sleeper on the milk where an international slum had been
expected. It was without any doubt an historic occasion.
Then, almost before we had taken stock of the swift gliding-
associated with the college year, it was Christmas vacation.
The Dramat set out with an Ideal Husband, in which Nineteen
Sixteen was represented by three butlers, a dowager and one
gentleman, in the persons of Messrs. Lyman, Elkin, Wilson,
Enright (replaced by Longstreth), and Hamilton, respectively.

"The seasons come, the seasons go;
The earth is green or white with snow."
SENIOR YEAR 67
Bostwick and Henry Anderson took the Musical Chiles on a
southwesterly trip, while Bunny Burgess and his hockey team
went to Pittsburgh. It was there that an enthusiastic spectator,
leaning over the boards, did away with his tooth leaving the
cavity so noticeable on his return. The Yale audience was
criticized for its attitude at the Princeton games, but it never
did anything like that.
The lull before examinations seems to have been uneventful ;
at this time those who have not gone to the ant, go to the
tutor, and learn other ways to be wise. When the smoke of
battle cleared it was found that George Haven had repulsed
every counter attack of the authorities, and was our fourth
living graduate. This was duly celebrated with a party at
Mory's, — positively the last, — and followed the next week by
two more. George then began work in ^ew York.
At the Prom the class was well represented, both with and
without, in spite of the fact that Seth Low, Allan McLane, Bob
Munson, Cepe Smith and Louis Bredin went to the Adiron-
dacks on a health trip. Titty went with them, and gave lessons
in snow shoeing. A great many things happened during Prom
time, but it would be unfair in many ways to mention most
of them. The goal that Ira Washburn shot in the Dartmouth
Hockey game, in the third extra period, with all the girls watch-
ing, however, can be mentioned, and will be remembered up at
Tuttles, and other storehouses of Yale lore well into the next
century. He made it from a few feet in front of the Yale
goal, through the whole Dartmouth team. At the Prom itself,
Dod Cassard is said to have been prominent though the reasons
are withheld. When Montey Woolley arrived from Syracuse
with a sprained ankle, he was met at the station by members
of the Dramat in stovepipe hats, black whiskers and steel
spectacles, who removed him to College Street Hall in a wagon,
much to the amusement of Xew Haven and the Prom girls at
the Taft, who were charmed with the playfulness of the under-
graduate, and his picturesque ways, and undoubtedly were
jealous for not having been met in the usual way themselves.
Whether this ceremony was part of the advertising campaign
in which the Dramat and the Musical clubs fought hard and with
68 HISTORY OF THE CLASS
strategy for the dollars of Prom victims will never be known ;
anyhow the Dramat won in the struggle, either on this account,
or because its billboards were a few feet larger. The cut-
throat competition between these two organizations is one of
the unpleasant facts of the year, — like the Harvard Game and
the Eligibility Question, — and the Dramat parts, — which have
done enough damage wnthout being introduced here.
The students of Metaphysical Poetry enjoyed a metaphysical
banquet on the evening of the final Princeton hockey game,
and their enthusiasm has done a great deal for a word which
until lately has been under a cloud. It is not yet known in
the class at large what metaphysics are, but suspicion has been
allayed and curiosity aroused. The game afterward was per-
haps more primitive in its appeal, perhaps too primitive, l)ut
it met with general approval. Aldrich, who has been out for
the team since he decided to come to Yale from St. Paul's, got
in at last. If the official had knowm about Morg's history,
he might not have put him off for two minutes out of the three.
The game was a good sequel to the one in the bowl.
The Yale Country Club, with its fine squash courts, billiard
tables and bowling alleys, was welcomed heartily by the class.
One of the events of the year was a twenty-four hour bowling
match, in which Ham Gardner and Bill Wyer competed suc-
cessfully. Other members have spent very nearly that length
of time on the alleys, but will not admit it.
It had now come to the time for an established custom to
be observed. Gil Porter was seen telegraphing and telephoning
to points of interest along the Atlantic Coast, while Aldrich
and Burgess acquired a stealthy look which we remembered
having seen before. Arrangements were finally completed, and
the team started at nine-thirty Friday morning, this time for
Baltimore instead of Atlantic City. They all agree that taking
this year and last, this made a total eclipse.
Baseball practice started in the same spirit as usual in spite
of the difficulties; even Pie Way went in February. Captain
Oler was confident alx>ut the Track Team, which had better
winter conditions in the new track cage than any previous team,
but it looked as though they would never get out doors on

account of the snow which was three feet or so deep and fell
regularly two days out of three. Setli Low, Allan ]\rcLane,
Guy Xiekalls and Red Elkin started the Crew season with the
Crew Banquet, at which the doctrine of "fun and victory both"
was preached and practiced, and justly recommended to the
other sports.
These were some of the events of Senior year ; how the class
as a whole liked their last year is impossible to say. Each
man likes to express sentiment in his own way, and it is even
possible that there were those among us who felt little. But
the majority had moments in which they wondered how they
were going to do without the pleasures of athletics, friendship
and curiosity which are the meaning of Yale.

FIFTY YEAKS AGO AN^D -NOW
FIFTY YEAKS AGO AXD XOW
I have been asked to set down some of mv recollections of
college life during my undergraduate years, 1869 to '73.
The interval is not quite half a century but the contrast
between then and now is great as will be realized when I
mention that then football was unknown, the winner of the
DeForest Prize was a greater man in college estimation than
the Captain of the Crew (Manager there was none) and a
student was by law forbidden to be out of town over night
without special permission from his division officer. This
article of the Laws of Yale College was brought to my mind
recently when I chanced to visit the railway station on a Friday
afternoon at the height of the weekly ebullition whereby so
much of the froth of the undergraduate world is drawn off,
or levitates, to Xew York. I reckoned that as many students,
courteously so called, went down for this week end as formerly
in a year, and I recalled that I myself visited N^ew York in
term time but once during my four undergraduate years.
The body of laws referred to was a fairly liberal code, still
retaining some theological flavor and overburdened with minute
regulation of student-conduct, the residuum from the first
formal code drawn up by President Clap in 1745. The
original draft of these laws of 1715 is in the Archives of
the University. It is a manuscript of perhaps twenty pages
of rough paper, in a fair round hand and bound in a cover
74
HISTORY OF THE CLASS
Yale
formed of two sheets of a
school boy's copy book. It is
written in English but the
edition published for the use
of the students is in Latin.
It enumerates and punishes
sjx'citieally every conceivable
form of misconduct — begin-
ning- with denial of the in-
spiration of the Bible or any
part thereof and an attempt
on the life of the President
or a Tutor, punishable by ex-
pulsion, down through sword
play or practice with cudgels
and many minor misde-
meanors, as possession of
gambling implements (in-
cluding a backgammon board), failure to remove the hat within
the prescribed distance from a college officer, until we reach
absence from prayers punished by a fine of one penny. The
ban upon backgammon remained in force for a hundred years.
President Clap's laws ordained that the Beadle should
wait upon the President each morning soon after six of
the clock for orders for the ringing of the bell. In the
seventies it rang without presidential supervision to indicate
each successive item of our daily routine. We rose, prayed,
ate our meals and attended our recitations at 8, 11.30 and 5
by its clamorous command, and four times on Sunday it sum-
moned us — to prayers, that is, morning and afternoon chapel
and evening meeting, as also on Wednesday evening, the
evening service not being obligatory. The student who was
responsible for its punctual performance fifty-one times per
week and received for his services tuition and a room under
the bell, earned his pay. To the best of my recollection the
bell ringer failed in his duty but once in four years.
The elective system forced the bell out of business and put
the clock in its place — a striking improvement, — which has
FIFTY YEARS AGO AND NOW
75
not resulted in ''great irregularity on the part of the students
in respect to their meals" as an influential memher of the
faculty gravely predicted. So unsafe is it to prophesy.
This machine-like regularity of student life, symbolized by
the ringing of the bell, and its unity of purpose form the most
marked features of contrast to life on the campus to-day. The
flood of extra-curriculum activities had not overwhelmed us.
The classes which for many years had not varied much from
one hundred in number lived all together in the old brick row,
and lived there all the time as already intimated. They there-
fore knew each other well and liked or disliked each other
heartily. Most important influence of all, the whole class
studied the same subjects through almost the entire course. The
writer sat by the same man in class, who as it chanced had the
same name and surname, three times a day for nearly four years.
This unity in the classroom led to a competition in scholarship
which is now impossible and was then a great incentive to
study. Between the leading scholars of a class it often became
intense and it was watched by the rank and file in its daily
progress as men now watch athletic games from the bleachers.
By reflex influence it affected
the scholarship of the class
generally. It was not the
highest kind of a motive for
study, but it served a useful
purpose and did much to
vivify the somewhat barren
and lifeless course of study
to which we were confined.
The curriculum had be-
come too varied to admit of
the old custom of assigning
to a class a tutor who should
continue with it for four
years and teach everything
in course, but in many
branches instruction was not
given by specialists.

111 the class before my own,
circumstances made it con-
venient to assioji the teaching
of Political Economy to the
senior professor of Latin, He
frankly avowed to the class
his lack of special knowledge
of the subject and conducted
the recitations for the most
part by asking questions
from the text book, with re-
sults like the following:
"Jones" (reading from the
book on the Effect of the
Malthusian Theory) "is
there then no remedy?"
Jones rises and responds
with fervor, also in the words
of the book, "Thank God ! There is !" and sits down.
In the following year Professor Sumner returned from study
in Europe to take the chair of Political Economy, then first
established, and we had the benefit of the early enthusiasm of
the greatest of Yale's teachers. His influence over us was
enormous. He did not convince men but he made them think.
I have seen men gather outside at the close of a lecture on
protection and shake their fists in each others' faces. Dean
Wright and Professor Beers also began their teaching with
our class to our great pleasure and profit.
In 1745 a student was examined for admission to college
on a considerable amount of Latin and a little Arithmetic.
Fifty years ago the number of required subjects and their
quantity were nearly as great as now, but the examination
was oral and not unduly stringent. A candidate entered
Alumni Hall informally and sat at an octagonal table, some
of which are still in use, and waited for an examiner to come
his way. If he happened to be kept busy he might finish in
half a dav.
FIFTY YEARS AGO AND NOW 77
The only entrance examinations that I remember anything
about are those in Latin Composition and the Analiasis. In
the former Professor Thacher put a copy of Arnold's Latin
Prose Composition before me opened at a certain page and told
me to look over the exercises on that page without turning
over the pages. He then turned to another candidate and when
he returned I said the prescribed sentences. In the Analiasis
I was examined by Professor Hadley. After a rather halting
translation he asked me several grammatical questions, the last
of which I was unable to answer. After waiting a reasonable
time he moved away. Just then an idea occurred to me and I
shouted the answer after him in a stentorian tone. He looked
back and smiled, and I have always believed that I thereby
escaped a condition.
Professor Hadley was a man of wide erudition and profound
scholarship. His mind was brilliant, clear cut and lucid. He
was an admirable teacher and his untimely death in 1871 was
an irreparable loss. In his funeral address President Porter
said that the Faculty would have had no hesitation in entrust-
ing to him at any time the teaching of any subject in the
curriculum.
In spite of the informality of entrance examinations condi-
tions were freely bestowed and they were an immediate and
heavy burden, for it was a rule that a student might not be
admitted to recitations until he had made up his conditions.
Special examinations were held weekly for removing conditions
and it was the middle of the fall term before the last of the
stragglers appeared in the class room. Thus those who most
needed to get a good start in college work were seriously and
often fatally handicapped.
Admission to college was not complete until the ceremony
of matriculation had been performed. When this took place or
of what it consisted I do not remember. The sole reminder
of it at present is the ''Matriculation Sermon'' delivered by
the President on the first Sunday of the college year. These
rambling reminiscences and loosely stated comparisons between
the past and the present might be continued indefinitely if space
78 HISTORY OF THE CLASS
permitted. Any one who cares to make such comparisons in
extensu can do so by reading ''Four Years at Yale" bj Lyman
H. Bagg of '69, published in '71.
Let me rather pass per caJtum from the alpha to the omega
of college life and say a word about Commencement. Then
as now it was a dignified and enjoyable function. The pro-
cession wended its way to Center Church through crowds much
admiring, as now, though it was not given to them to see the
pomp of caps and gowns or to thrill before the majesty of the
mace. At the church the ceremonies up to the conferring of
degrees w^ere conducted by the graduating class and were long
drawn out, beginning with the Latin Salutatory. During the
intermediate series of orations, philosophical and otherwise,
dispute, colloquies and the like, the assembled company wan-
dered in and out at will, seeking relief from the hot air of the
pew^s and the platform under the shade of the superb elms that
W'Cre the just pride of the city. The scene around the church
resembled a lawn party and is stamped on the memory of many
an old graduate, marred by no monument of ugliness like the
Hotel Taft. When the valedictorian got up the crowds poured
back and filled the house to suffocation, and then gladly
adjourned to dinner and speeches at Alumni Hall.
The Commencement function as at present conducted is
considered by good judges to be unsurpassed in dignity and
impress! veness by any ceremony in the country. Its perfection
of form and detail is due in great part to the administrative
genius of the lamented Professor John C. Schwab, University
Librarian. It serves the great purpose of impressing on the
minds of the graduating class as they enter into the fellowship of
the Alumni of the University a sense of the dignity and power
of that fellowship, and sends them out of their play time into
life with a realization of the value of their inheritance as sons
of Yale.
The tradition of the Alumni, faint and elusive to the under-
graduate, becomes definite when he receives his diploma, and
as years pass has a culminative effect that is very powerful.
To the undergraduate it is apt to be crystallized about some
FIFTY YEARS AGO AND NOW 79
notable class. At present this is no doubt the class of '78 in
which President Taft is the leading figure of a brilliant group
typifying the best in Yale. In the seventies it was the class
of '37, the only class that ever gave to the country a Chief
Justice of the Supreme Court, a Secretary of State and a
President. Chief Justice Morrison R. Waite possessed all the
substantial qualities that belong to the foremost judicial posi-
tion in the world. Secretary William M. Evarts had the most
acute legal mind of any lawyer of an epoch of great lawyers.
Samuel J. Tilden is the only man ever elected to the presi-
dency who has surrendered his title to the office from patriotic
motives.
Mr. Tilden was a bachelor but the children and grand-
children of Evarts and Waite are Alumni of Yale. Mr.
Evarts only of the three came frequently to ISTew Haven and
he for many years rarely missed a Commencement, where his
after-dinner speech was looked forward to as the crowning-
event, for he was a master of epigram and repartee and esteemed
the foremost wit as well as lawyer of his time. Among innu-
merable of his remembered sayings there may be cited his
remark, concerning the tradition of Washington having once
thrown a silver dollar across the Potomac, that "a dollar went
much further then than now'' ; and his reply when an attempt
was made to catch him napping at a dinner of the Harvard
Medical School by calling on him without previous notice to
speak of the coats of the stomach — that he was not prepared
''since it had been his habit when attending a Harvard dinner
to leave the coats of his stomach at home."
Mr. Tilden left college before graduation. He was a man
of gTcat wealth and there is the best authority for the state-
ment that he made Yale his residuary legatee. But during
the campaign in which he was the Democratic candidate for the
Presidency, ex-President Woolsey, who took no active part in
polities, published a letter in which he spoke of Mr. Tilden
as having ''sought the Presidency with uncommon anxiety."
The criticism offended Mr. Tilden and he changed his will,
giving the residuary estate, amounting to several millions, to

WALTER KARL EDWARD
ABEL, "Walt," was born in
Meriden, Conn., Angnst 10, 1892.
His father, Albert Abel, was
born in Sampolil, Germany, in
1852, came early in life to Meri-
den, where he is still living, and
is connected with the Charles
Parker Company. Abel's mother
was Pauline Patzlaflf, of Klein
Konarczin, Germany. There
were thirteen sons and daughters
in the family, of Avlioni six sons
and five daughters are living.
Walt prepared at a private
school, Concordia Gymnasium, at
Bronxville, N. Y. He received
college honors, first division, in
Freshman year, first division
honors in Junior year, and honorable mention, Lucius F. Robinson
Latin Prize. He is a member of the Deutscher Verein, and its
president during Senior year. He lived at home in Meriden dur-

JOHN CHRISTOPHER SCHWAB was a remarkable man.
He possessed in liigli degree a large number of different qualities
which are not often combined. He imited personal charm with
administrative efficiency, critical scholarship with judgment of
practical affairs, responsibility in the conduct of his own business
with interest in public service of every kind, scrupulous adherence
to principle with large tolerance of the feelings of others.
During his college course he had already given proof of his
worth. The Class of 1886, of which he was a member, contained
an unusual number of strong men, and he was recognized as one
of its leaders. He continued to show the same qualities of leader-
ship in his graduate study and in his work of instruction. His
book on The Confederate States of America has been pronounced
by James Ford Rhodes a model of how economic history ought
to be studied and written. But it was not until the time of the
bicentennial celebration that the world recognized his extraordi-
nary administrative power. Of the exercises on that occasion he
was given general charge. He perfonned the complex duties
incident to that trust in a way which commanded universal
admiration. Seldom, if ever, has so difficult a position been filled
in a way to satisfy every one so well.
A more permanent field for the exercise of his administrative
ability was found when he was called upon to succeed Addison
Van !N"ame in the headship of the Yale University Library. The
ten years during which Mr. Schwab held the office of Librarian
constituted a period of marked development in library administra-
tion, not only here but throughout the country; and in that develop-
ment Mr. Schwab took a leading part. Mr. Putnam, Librarian
of Congress, who probably had more to do with this work than
any other man, spoke with admiration of the manner in which
Mr. Schwab, coming into library administration without special
training, had Avithin three years placed himself at the head of his
profession.
But Mr. Schwab's activities were never confined within any one
line. Every enterprise for public betterment commanded his sup-

port. New Haven mourns him hardly less than Yale. In its
musical activities, in its charitable organizations, and in its efforts
for better government, he was ready to take his share and more
than his share.

interested in all of them.
His death came as a great shock to us all. It seemed incon-

In the midst of a stormy life, a life fraught wth hardships, yet
full of promise, HERBERT LEO LAWRENCE MACDONALD
was taken from us. So fearlessly did he meet all odds, so cheer-
fully did he look upon life in the midst of disappointments, that
few of us knew the battle he was waging. The vigor of his

all of us. His whole-hearted participation in athletics as well as
his brilliant, energetic work in the curriculum, have left upon the
minds of his classmates an impression that will not soon fade away.
We who have felt the spell of his buoyant spirit, and have seen

MISCELLAXY
XINETEEX-SIXTEEI^ AND THE WAR
Ambulaxce Service ix Fkance
In the summer of 1915 the dass was represented in the
greatest war of all history, by five members, Caldwell, Cowles,
Hellier, A. Munson, and C. Mnnson, volunteering for ambu-
lance work in France. That we were not more numerously
represented at so important an event is probably owing to the
fact that an indefinable something restrains us from crossing
the street to see Caesar if the roads be muddy. It is an old
tradition at Yale that the bull dog is hard to arouse. But let
that pass. Xineteen-thirty-two will probably see Yale decently
interested in history in the making — if the war lasts that long.
It is too much of a chestful to tell all about the war in one
breath. To call upon our classmates' letters written in the field
is a better mode of procedure, like throwing pictures upon a
screen, and far out-reaches in graphicness, the philosophizing
of an author. Besides, a man at a distance has a way of saying,
''War is hell'' with a sweeping inclusive gesture. The only
trouble with that is that war is only intense life after all, and
like life sometimes is hell and sometimes is not. Anyhow, we
feel more confidence in the words of a man who is actually in it.
France, after sitting up all night in a train from Bordeaux
to Paris : — "When morning finally dawned the country looked
beautiful, — little French fields all neatly kept, except very
occasionally here and there, — and all would have been just the
same as ever, had it not been for the soldiers. At every bridge
stood one or two silent men. All along the line were boxes or
hovels, some with men in them and some empty and at other
places the grass was pressed where one or two had bivouacked
the night."
A run for wounded to an artillery camp at the front : — ■
''Suddenly we turned out of the town and plunged into a
lonely pine forest, I sitting on the running board of the
Mercedes. Down the pine road we went, meeting occasionally
soldiers and officers, comino- from and going to the trenches.

Finally we came to a crossroads in the forest where a wagon
stood with a crowd of men about it. It was the Red Cross
wagon from the trenches, with the wonnded man in it. Right
there was the artillery camp. There were about twenty houses
in all, little undergrowing hovels, covered with logs and sand.
They had glass windows, real doors. Some had small gardens
in front and fences around them, and others had flowerpots in
the window frames. xVll the while the 'seventy-fives' were
firing, for it was late in the afternoon when they usually opened
up. They had walks laid out with rather artistic fences along
the sides made out of some wood which bent easily and looked
very much like that of which workbaskets are woven. Then
one of the men showed me, with great pride, a cage made out
of wire netting, with perches in it, in which they had about
six birds. There were two or three little cats about. A little
bewhiskered soldier in loose-fitting uniform and wobbly hat
which had seen months of service picked one of them up and
told me, without my asking, that its name was 'Sarah' and
it was his."
Then again : — "He went way out very near to the trenches
in an auto and lost the road and stopped. Then he heard rifle
bullets, singing and banging on the trees, and he thinks to
himself, thinks he, ' 'Twere better should I put me behind yon
large tree,' — which he did and proceeded to smoke tranquilly.
A soldier came along and told him his car was in full sight of
the Germans, and besides he was standing on the wrong side
of the tree."

Another writes: — "I have gotten rather to like cigarettes —
French ones. It is a sure sign that I am becoming degenerate."
And from the same letter : — "I like night calls as everything
is so picturesque : trench lights flaring up along the distant
trenches, and a man on a stretcher transferred from a two-
wheeled horse wagon, floored with straw, by the light of a
lantern, to the automobile."
The following is a gripping anecdote which developed uncon-
sciously in the pages of a rather rambling letter : — "I walked
along a sort of trench out on the back of a bank to the cellar
of the church, and then up into it. Tt was pretty much nothing
but busted bricks. Every time we heard a shell singing over-
head, I believe we all wished we were 'ter hum.' The first
one that went over me, I'll swear, I held my breath from when
I first heard it singing till it l)nrst. Then after the first half
dozen, we settled down, though we never lost interest or
yawned .... Back of the church there was a barricade of
cobble stones piled high across the street. The wounded men
all looked pretty pale in the afternoon sun, but their artillery
companions of the battery where they had been wounded
crowded around them and said, 'Good-bye, my Comrade.'
Then the wounded men, who were on stretchers slung under
sort of steel push carts, smiled and said, 'Good-bye, my Com-
rade.' Two of them died later at the operating hospital."
From another letter: — "I really feel that we are doing a
great deal of good here, and the soldiers we bring in certainly
appreciate it. I tried to hold one man from bumping around
so much on the rough road. He was practically dying, but
he said, 'Xe vous derangez pas, ^Monsieur.' ''
Then from a diary :
"Sept. 15. Pont-a-Moun
Big bombardment of the "Pont" yesterday afternoon;
incendiary shells and shrapnel. Town set fire to in two places
and only one person killed. An aeroplane bomb landed within
thirty feet of Lovell but luckily didn't go off. It seems funny
that we should go on living here as usual, eating and sleeping,
and watch Taubes and Aviatiks flv about directlv over us. Often

the French and Boche machines are up over the town at the
same time, but they seem to take good care not to get close to
one another — as Jean Iluffer says, 'They understand aviation
too welL' The sky is of course full of shrapnel and when the
setting sun tints the cotton-like puffs of smoke pink and shines
on the planes, it is a remarkable sight.
This morning at five or earlier I had a call to Monteauville
and Clos Bois, an 'officer.' That is really the best time of
the day here, nice and cool — one must wear coat and gloves
driving ; the valleys and hollows filled with mist and the forest-
crested hills standing around. The French seem to realize the
beauty of it, for they are all up — peasants about the villages
and ouvriers (territorials) going up to the Bois le Pretre. The
American Ambulance is the only thing that eats petit dejeuner
as late as seven o'clock.
Sept. 20. P-a-M.
Talked with a telephonist to-day whose job it is to listen to
the German telephones. They are grounded with a bayonet,
as are the French also. But the French have a system or
apparatus much like a wireless receiver, whereby they can hear
through the ground the conversation on the German wires. I
don't understand it, so can't explain it. Often the voices are
not very clear, but at times they are quite so. By this method
one knows when the Germans are going to attack and where,
which section is promptly shelled by the 75's, which rather
dampens the ardour of the attack."
NINETEEN-SIXTEEN AND THE WAR
319
Soon after Christmas two more members, Bostwick and
Hoiipt, sailed for France, but so far news from them has been
scanty. Later, perhaps, there will be more. For a young
graduate just setting out into the vicissitudes of the world the
war is invaluable, if only for the philosophy of the French
"poilu." Whenever anything goes hopelessly wrong, ''C'est
la Guerre," he says, and leaves it at that. It saves so much
time and definitely settles the question. A thing like that
might be of use in after life. He who can say it never will
lie of service to him, is indeed fortunate, — but that is neither
here nor there, — Vive la France !

COIsTKAD WOEHLER
This sentiment of the ambulance volunteers is not endorsed
by every member of the Class. One man, in particular, is
actively engaged against la France. At the beginning of the
war Conrad Woehler, better known as '^X^omiie," ''Count," was
in his home in Dresden, Saxony. Finishing Sophomore year,
he had sailed for Germany, expecting to spend the summer
with his family, whom he had not seen in eight years, and to
return in September. He had
no sooner arrived in the country
than w^ar was declared and he
found himself inv^olved in it.
Many letters have been re-
ceived from him since he first
volunteered for service and in
all he has remembered his class-
mates and his two years at Yale
w^ith the fondest memories, in
spite of the life he has gone
through. The first word was
received September 4, 1914, be-
ing brought over by an Ameri-
can. He starts off: "Perhaps

the last letter from me, as I must go to war, as have all
my brothers here. I do it gladly, yet sadly." Fortunately
this was not the last letter from Connie and he has survived
nearly two years of actual service. He saw his first fighting
in October, 1914, before Rheims, a letter dated February 2,
1915, beginning: "I have been in the trenches at Rheims
since October 21. I am a volunteer of the Second Company,
13th Regiment of Saxon Jager. Please greet all my friends
and professors most heartily. Assure them that I think of
them very often." In another letter that same month he
described more in detail the bombproofs and the daily life in
the trenches. ''Since our battalion has been reenforced the
individual soldier needs to serve on watch only 4-6 hours a
day. He then works a coitple of hours on the earthworks, and
the rest of the time one can read, sleep and eat (the main
things). You get a 'bomb' appetite in spite of the bombs
and shells. I can picture what you are doing now. 'Let's go
to the movies — Hellno !' I would only too well like to say:
'Here's hoping I may be able to again.' " Connie's New Haven
education and good nature have not forsaken him.
During the summer of 1915 it was thought he had been
killed, as a letter was returned to this country unopened with
the following written across : "Auf Felds der Ehre gefallen."
This was contradicted when word came from him direct. He
had been shifted to the Eastern front and had taken part in
the Russian campaign against Warsaw, being later confined to
the rest camp in Posen. In the fall he returned to the fighting
NINETEEX-SIXTEEX AXD THE WAR 321
in France. During' Senior year letters have l)een less frequent.
He has been on several furloughs, either l)eeause wounded or
sick, which he has evidently been prevented from stating.
Because unable to take part in actual fighting, he spent part
of the winter drilling recruits in the interior of Germany.
Early in the spring he again joined his regiment.
Enlisting as a private, Connie had risen to the rank of Vice-
feldwebel, which corresponds to a second sergeant, l>y ^lay,
1915. Soon after this he wrote for his college record, which
he needed to show in order to advance as an officer in the
German army. Connie is the only member of the class who
has been in actual service in the war. He has done his duty
as he saw it. The battalion with which he is connected has
several times distinguished itself and been mentioned for
special service and bravery. Yet he has always hoped to be
able to return and finish his course at Yale. The contrast
between the war there and life here can hardly be realized
and he looks to the latter as the pleasantest part of the past
and a hope for the future. Xo better greeting to the class
can be found than Connie's words in a recent letter : "Please
remember me to all the good fellows who have thought of me,
assure them that I very often think of them and the dear
Yale Campus."

THE YALE AETILLERY
I
During the army camps held at Plattsburg this summer, the
attention of men attending from Yale was naturally drawn to
the lack of all military training at this University. 'Not only
had the men attending the camps from the Western universi-
ties had previous opportunities for military work, but such
opportunities were to be found in the East as well. Thus
Harvard had a battery made up almost entirely of her own
men. Enquiries were made as to what form of training in col-
leges was most favored by the army, and it was learned that
by far our greatest need was in field artillery. Prior to this
some of the students at the camp had suggested a Yale cavalry
troop, but after talking it over with the officers at Plattsburg,
particularly Major-General Leonard Wood, all agreed on artil-
lery work as the form to be introduced at Yale. Consequently
a movement was set on foot after the return to college and
enough men for four batteries enlisted within a few days.
At present the batteries have as large an enrollment as is
possible under the existing state law, so that there are men
on the waiting list who drill with the batteries, but who cannot
be enlisted. It is expected that next year the Connecticut
legislature will vote an increase in the militia strength of the
State, so that the batteries can be recruited up to full strength.
As it is, they average about 120 men each, and the total number
of students enlisted, including those in the medical corps, is
approximately 500.
These batteries are part of the Connecticut National Guard,
and are designated "A," '^B," ''C," and "D." Together
with the existing batteries at Branford (battery "E") and
Stamford (battery "F") they form the Tenth Regiment of
Militia Eield Artillery.
As in any militia service, enlistment is for three years, but
men who leave college before the expiration of their service
THE YALE ARTILLERY 323
will be mustered out for non-residence, unless they continue
to reside in the vicinity, when they will be required to complete
their three years of service. An opportunity is offered for
men to place their names upon a reserve list after finishing
their service, and from these men the batteries will be recruited
to war strength (171 men each) in the event of hostilities.
Funds for an armory have been partially guaranteed by
graduates interested in the work.
The extreme importance of field artillery has been shown
more clearly than ever by the present European war. Whether
fighting against an enemy intrenched or unintrenched, shrapnel
fire is necessary to prepare the way for an attack, and to cover
the attack while it is under way. On the defensive it is equally
important in stopping the enemy's advance. Yet our army at
present is short of field guns, and lacks enough trained men
fully to man even the guns it does possess. In case of war our
first need would be more trained artillery. When we add to
this the fact that artillery, more than infantry or cavalry,
requires a high degree of intelligence among the personnel, we
see that our colleges have here a gi-eat chance to be of service
to the country.
Morris Hadley
II
The army camps held at Plattsburg during the summer
of 1915 aroused a storm of dissatisfaction with conditions at
Yale in the breasts of the martial delegates from Xew Haven.
They saw men from Western colleges easily surpass them on
the imaginary field of battle because of previous training. This
could have been endured had it not been discovered that at
Harvard there was a regiment of infantry composed almost
entirely of her own hirelings. This was the last straw — Yale
must don the uniform.
The first outward manifestation of Yale's military spirit
was called forth l)y the Mexican trouble, which took the form
of several sporadic but none the less zealous outbursts and
culminated in a parade inspired by pistol shots of a few
incendiaries on the Oval. Beating on impromptu cymbals and
324 HISTORY OF THE CLASS
shouting vociferously, this procession had advanced to the resi-
dences of Secretarv Stokes, and Professors Taft and Phelps,
where they demanded speeches. The need of organization was
evidenced by the fact that the exact nature of these gatherings
was not clear even to the participants themselves, who one
moment enthusiastically echoed General Sherman's famous
remark and the next shouted with as much fervor, "We want
war." This outburst was severely stigmatized by the Journal-
Courier and subsequently by publications from "Maine to
California" as jingoism.
However, here was the fuel. All that was necessary was the
spark. JSTineteen-sixteen possessed two efficient sparks in the
persons of Morris Hadley and Stew Bullivant. The officers at
Plattsburg, particularly Major-General Wood, all agreed that
the artillery was that branch of the service which it would be
most advisable to join. There were several reasons. The
European War was proving conclusively the growing impor-
tance of artillery ; the United States army hardly possessed
enough men to man its guns and, lastly, this branch was in
need of a higher degree of intelligence than the others. The
"sparks" assured the officers that Yale was the place to look
for this quality.
Preparations began early in October with several articles in
the News. It was planned to have one battery consisting of
133 men and five officers. However, when 950 men had signed
a]iplication blanks, this arrangement was seen to be inadequate.
Hereupon the Government stepped into the breach and author-
ized the enlistment of four batteries.
The time for enlistment came and the floor of the Gym pre-
sented an unusual sight. Seated at tables, stools and various
machines of torture, the novitiates struggled with yards of
enlistment blanks. The Inquisition of the physical examina-
tion followed, but it soon became evident that Herculean
qualities were not insisted upon.
As a result, four batteries, averaging 120 men each, were
enlisted as a part of the Connecticut i^ational Guard. Together
with the medical corps, about 500 men were enrolled under
the command of Robert M. Danford, a lieutenant of the regular
326 HISTORY OF THE CLASS
army, and ranking as major commanding the Tenth Connect-
icut Field Artillery.
Drills were next in order, adding at least one hour and a
half to the schedule of every man. The basic principles of
"counting off" were explained and soon the Cage reechoed
with "One, two, three, four," bellowed or piped in seven
different octaves, i^^ed Howe helped things along by clearly
demonstrating how not to right-about-face. Art Lane proved
of invaluable service to the men in his section ; they soon dis-
covered that, to keep in step they simply had to ]ye at variance
with him.
The demand for uniforms was met, and, a few weeks after
measuring, a series of forced marches was made to the equip-
ment station in Welch. During these maneuvers the columns
were subjected to a severe fusillade of fire from the heights
of surrounding dormitories, consisting of commands varying
from "Halt" to "Don't fire till you see the whites of their
eyes." Several darkly hinted that the French system of uni-
forms of one size for short men and one for tall men was to
be adopted. Their hopes were dashed to the ground by the
appearance of the strangely costumed forms of Lloyd Bissell
and Kin Tener, who loomed up as sacrifices to longitude. Bill
Bowden resembled a needle removed to the nth power, and the
officers sighed that they could not have an army composed of
such difficult targets. However, in view of the numbers accou-
tered it was agreed that the tailor had done fairly well and
that it was a relief to the eyes to have the long lines of drab
interspersed with a coat or pair of trousers of different hue.
The manners of the officers were aped in order to acquire the
true military carriage. When not at attention it was discovered
that it was "en regie" to saunter with hands in the hip pockets
and hat inclined at an angle of forty-five degrees.
Soon after the demerit system was introduced; Sergeant
Cropper took his post with notebook and pencil, and woe to
him who shifted his hat or hitched his belt ! Battery "C"
took a severe fall from grace on one occasion and some say it
could scarcely be blamed. The circumstances were as follows :
Stew Bullivant, while changing the command of a section.
THE YALE ARTILLERY 327
suffered a relapse, and. iniaiiiiiing- himself at a far different
gathering, announced that "Corporal D would take the
place of Brother S y." Sergeant Cropper had to sharpen
his pencil twice.
Yale's political system, more labyrinthine than the most
ingenious minion of Tammany could ever devise, was presently
given an opportunity to prove its worth at the election of
officers. The returns showed that seven '10 men had received
the necessary support from their constituents. Stew Bullivant,
Reg Field, Morris Hadley, General Kimberley, Cal Littlefield,
Charlie Xeave and Dus Sanderson were those chosen. Morris
Hadley was appointed to the position of Acting Adjutant and
Mel Cary was made Quartermaster and Commissary Sergeant.
Wig-wagging was introduced and the batteries gave all the
appearance of learning how to fly while they interpreted the
movements of Sergeant Cropper as he balanced himself in a
perilous position on a caisson. It is hoped that those who
will have to translate the messages sent by Yale wigwaggers
will be able to speak all languages. The batteries at the
present writing have made considerable headway ; as many
as two men in a line frequently have their arms in the same
position.
Choice of occupation was given between serving guns, driv-
ing, or special detail service. Many chose to serve a gun instead
of a horse but the sound of ''equitation" proved to be a great
drawing-card. An announcement that an Aero Corps was to
be organized was received with much enthusiasm, especially
by those residing in the heights of fifth-floor regions, for whom
great altitude had no terrors.
The hospital service provided an outlet for those who claimed
to be more humanely minded. About sixteen, mostly sons of
'16, enrolled, and Hop Perry was given the operating imple-
ments of leadership. The mysteries of carrying dead and
wounded were explained, and thereafter those who would volun-
teer as corpses were at a premium and the mercy of their
roommates. Dull thuds liegan to echo from room to room as
the bodies of "dead" men, possessed of an uncanny limpness,
slipped from the embrace of their would-be rescuers.
328
HISTORY OF THE CLASS
Announcements to the effect that there would be an encamp-
ment at Tobyhanna, Pa., after Commencement were made from
time to time. In all probability '16 will be well represented,
as there are many who regard the two dollars per day wage
as a considerable increase over their expected earnings in such
trades as stone-breaking or brick-laying.
It seems inadvisable in closing this account to add that the
Yale Artillery will always be found where the ammunition is
thickest, as this trite remark is usually interpreted in a very
unflattering manner. However, in the case of a Bridgeport
riot it is not inapplicable and in this light it is hoped that the
reader will regard it.

THE FABLE OF THE QUEER BIRD AXD THE
SEis^IOR STATISTICS
Chapter I
Once upon a time there was a Queer Bird. Pie wasn't a
Yale Type at all. He had been Sent to Xew Haven by a Fond
Parent who had once met a Yale Man and had been impressed
by his Sterling Seven Point Qualities. Guy (for such was the
Q. B's. name) was a Nice Boy, and very Good to his mother,
but he just Didn't Fit at College. He had the most Remark-
able Ideas. He believed that he had come to College to Get an
Education. This of course might have been Overcome in Time,
but Guy had other Strange j^otions equally Ridiculous. He
would do the Strangest Things, such as Going over to the
Library, even when he didn't have an Essay to Write. And
he used to Read Books which were not Required. Of course
his Classmates soon Found this Out and Tried to Stop It.
They showed him that if he wanted to Make Good, he would
have to Work for Yale. They pointed to various "Big Men"
who were Busy as the Deuce Running Something or Other. And
they took Guy with them to various Rooms and Eating Joints
in order that he might Broaden himself by finding out what
the class was Thinking about. But although Guy Learned that
Charlie Chaplin got Fifty Thousand Dollars a Week, and that
Edna was Married, and that Francis X. Bushman was at the
Globe, he didn't seem to Evince
much Interest, and in fact re-
fused to submit any more to the
Broadening Influence of Con-
temporary Conversation. He
was Hopeless. He played on
the Soccer Team because he
felt that Athletics were a
Means and not an End, which
shows how Queer he really was.
His favorite poem was not Double-crossing the Bar
332 HISTORY OF THE CLASS
'^Crossing; the Bar," nor his favorite novel "Henrv Esmond."
He was Peculiar enough not to think that there was Something
Wrong with Yale because the Football Team had Lost. He
got an Education but it wasn't a Hell of a Lot of Fun ; Guy
was often as Low as a Snake.
Chapter II
But Guy was no Boob. After he graduated he went into
Business and in Ten Years had amassed a Huge Fortune. He
was one of the leaders in his City. His fellowmen had Some-
how gotten over the Idea that he was Queer, and were Always
Glad to See Him. He had even been Elected to the Elks.
One day his Family Doctor came to him and whispered that
his Better Half would soon present him with an Heir, and Guy
was Pleased as Punch, for he had always wanted a Son. But
then and there he determined that the Boy should Enjoj his
College Life and not go through the Misery that he had Suffered.
He took down his Class Book and Looked Up the Class Statis-
tics, for he thought that by So Doing he could find out Much
about How to Be Happy Although an Undergraduate.
The First Thing he looked at was the ''Most Valuable Thing
You Have Obtained from Your College Career." There were
Many Different Answers. One answered ''Independence,"
another "Concentration." Many of them said that "Acquaint-
ances" and "Friendships" were the most Valuable Things.
Other answers were "How To Take Disappointments,"
"Breadth," "Intellect," "Appreciation of Literature," "Poise,"
"Discipline," "Self-Confidence," "An Ideal of Public Service,"
"Sense of Proportion," "Self-Knowledge," "Mental Labor,"
"Destruction of Most Cherished Beliefs," "Character," "A
Knowledge of the Value of Work," "Insight," "A Respect
for the Man with Knowledge," "A Loss of Religious Denomi-
nation with a Consequent Gain in Faith," "A Basis for Under-
standing Present Day Conditions."
Guy next looked at the "Things Which You Most Regret
About Your College Course," for he Knew That Here he should
get some Valuable Hints about what his Son Should Kot Do.
The Answers were Varied. Some said "Failure to Go Out for
STATISTICS 333
Things," "Lack of Friends," "That T Came T(30 Yonng,"
"■Limitations Imposed bv Finances." Other answers were,
"LUeness,"' "Poor Courses," "Xot Having Studied," "Failure
to Stand for a Principle," "Superficial Relations to ^fen,"
"Hypersensitivity," "Failure to Participate in Athletics,"
"Failure to Go to Library," "Failure to Room with Class,"
"Hours Failed," "Wasted Time," "That the Course is Only
Four Years Long," "Failure to be an Honor ^Man," "Four
Football Defeats by Harvard," "Compelled to Commute,"
"Spending Too Much Time with Xew Haven People," "En-
forced Relations with Battell Chapel." One man regretted
Kothing, while the Chief Regret of Another was "A Trip to
Bridgeport."
Guy, Being Very Well Off Financially, decided that He would
Celebrate the Coming Birth of his Heir by Making a Gift to his
Alma Mater. He therefore again turned to his Class Statistics,
concerning "Yale's Greatest Xeed." Here he found Diverse
Answers, among them being the following: "Endowment,"
"A Football System," "Instructors," "Personal Christianity,"
"Dormitories," "A Xew Museum," "A Xew Library," "A
Sense of Unity by Means of More Dormitories," "An Awaken-
ing from the Present Attitude of Self-Satisfaction," "A Fight-
ing Spirit," "More Cooperation between the Faculty and the
Students," "]\[ore Social Meetings of the Student Body,"
"More Respect for Radicalism," "More Tennis Courts," "A
Branch of Public Life to Supply with Men," "Graduate
Athletic Control," "The Welding of Academic and Sheif,"
"A Union."
Glancing down the Page, Guy's Eye fell upon the "Sugges-
tions for an Increased Interest in Scholarship." Some of These
were the following: "Place Emphasis on Learning Rather
than on Marks," "Exam Exemption," "Greater Mingling of
Instructors and Pupils," "Better Instructors," "More Pro-
fessors with Personality," "More Attention to Individualism,"
"Increasing Social Recognition for Scholarship," "Better
Freshman and Sophomore Courses," "Lower Phi Beta Kappa
Requirements," "Smaller Classes," "Better Freshman Faculty,"
"Less Mental Discipline in First Two Years,'' "^Monthly List

of Marks," "'Fewer Two O'clock Classes," ''More Prizes and
Scholarships," ''More Elizabethan Clubs," ''Removal of Sci-
entific Attitude of Mind," "Some Reward for Those Just
Missing Phi Beta Kappa," "Have Professors Mark the Papers."
One cynic answered "Impossible in America."
]^ow Guy wanted to be sure that his Offspring chose Yale
instead of Some Other College, so he Glanced at the "Reasons
for Coming to Yale" in order to Get the Dope. Most of the
answers were "Relatives" or "Friends." Other answers were
"Reputation as The ISTational American College," "Democracy,"
"Yale's Ideas Stood for a Vigorous Type of American Man-
hood," "Proximity," "Spirit," "Athletic Reputation," "Ease
of Self-Support," "Sanity of Atmosphere," "Environment,"
"Compulsory Chapel," "Having Seen the Disastrous Effect
of Harvard on Several Close Friends," "Desire to Play on
Yale Team," "Course of Study," "Tradition for Grit," "Fight-
ing Qualities," "Sportsmanship," "President Hadley."
"IsTow," said Guy, "I have All the Dope. My Boy will
Surely Enjoy his College Life much more than I did. I shall
Bring Him Up According to these Statistics."
Just then the Family Doctor Beckoned Guy to Come and See
the Latest Arrival.
It was a Girl.
There is no Moral.
