Six  feet  two — 122  lbs. — accurate

bridge,  the  theatre,  and  baseball.  No 
passion  for  bathing.  When  he  be- 
came humanized  in  Soph  year,  we  saw 
that  he  was  a  true  sport.

MOUSA  JIRIUS  KALEEL 
"Mouser" 

Born  in  the  country  of  Bib.  Lit.  I, 
and  educated  in  L.  P.'s  native  state,  he 
should  have  been  redolent  of  the  "odot 
of  sanctity" — sometimes  he  was.  His 
nose-to-the-ground  football  playing  was 
a  joy  to  behold.  He  left  when  we 
didn't  expect  him  to  go  and  returned 
when  we  didn't  expect  him  to  come. 


EDWARD  WILLIAM  KLING 
"Bro" 
Alias  (in  Ardmore)  "Ed  Richard-

"Reds."  Starred  with  the  song  h  t 
"We're  from  Miss  Baldwin's."  We 
have  missed  his  contagious  laugh  and 
his  readiness  to  join  anything  and  we 
have  been  glad  to  have  him  visit  us, 
particularly  at  class  banquets.

aid  boxing  proclivities — in  beating  the 
"Big  Swede"  for  the  heavyweight  belt. 


HAVERFORD    COLLEGE 


LEONARD  V.  H.  THOMAS 

"Scare)]" 

All-around  athlete  iuid  society  man. 
Scarey's  affiliation  with  our  class  was 
but  fleeting.  Like  the  Record  of 
1914,  his  class  in  reality,  we  can  but 
wish  him  a  speedy  recovery  from  the 
distressing  malady  with  which  he  has 
been  afflicted. 


ADDISON  LLECH  BLISS 
"Addie" 

Big,  hearty,  carefree  and  funny 
Like  Minot,  he  came  to  us  from  Bos- 
ton and  Hahvad  for  one  year  only, 
but  while  he  was  here  he  was  a  per- 
petual joy  to  first  floor  South.  The

are  the  losers  by  hs   failing  to  return. 


FRANCIS  MINOT 

"Franlf" 

The  Adonis  of  the  Venus  and 
Adonis  Club.  The  Kupp;nheimer  and 
Arrow  Collar  companies  used  to  model 
I  heir  ads  on  Frank — handsome,  de- 
bonair, skeptical  and  possessed  of  an 
antipathy  for  Kelsey — "Don't  call 
ME  'class'."  For  a  fitting  eulogy  see 
his  erstwh'le  pupil,   Ed  Farr.

Weikel's  fellow-citizen,  first  wife,

Much  interested  in  the  bringing-up  of

"I've  known  a  lot  of  men  be'ave

1915  never  lost  a  son  she  more 
universally  regretted.  Deep  rooted  in 
the  two  short  years  when  sweat-shirted 
and  slippered  he  placidly  reclined  in 
our  midst,  the  memory  of  his  freely 
given  friendship  will  always  linger; — • 
a  true  symbol  of  "our  class  fraternity." 


GROVER  CLEVELAND  THEIS 
"Crover"    "Dutch" 

A  real  Wellmann — said  so  him- 
self. From  him  Eighth  Street  held  no 
secrets.  Familiar  with  the  stage 
entrance  and  the  wmgs  of  the 
"Gayety."  Tutor  and  preceptor  to 
North  Barclay.  Having  a  good  com- 
mand of  the  English  language  even  the 
Haverfordian  accepted  him — and  he  is 
now  "in  Journalism." 


G.  AUBRE^-  SOWELL 
"Aub"   "A-a-h  Sowell" 

A  priest  of  Aesculapius,  "Aub" 
came  from  the  labs  and  lecture  rooms 
of  Freshman  year  at  a  medical  college 
to  acquire  some  "general  culture"  at 
Haverford.  Silent,  but  very  reliable, 
he  went  into  class  fights  with  a  will. 
An  eloquent  lecturer  on  cadavers. 
Now  leading  his  class  at  Temple  Uni- 
versity Medical  School. 


SELIM  TOTAH 

"Selim" 

"He  left  us  not  so  long  ago. 
Carolling  with  a  will,  " 
and  it  was  no  new  departure,  for  all 
Soph  year  he  continuously  carolled. 
North  Barclay  remembers  it —  and 
says  it  was  not  musical.  Now  Selim 
carves  his  way  in  the  wide  world.  We 
follow  him  wishing  we  were  as  con- 
fident of  our  own  success.

FRESHMAN  YEAR

T  WAS  reported  at  Haverford  that  1915  with 
its  Assyrians,  Chinese,. Japanese,  Chafeinese. 
English,  Americans,  New  Englanders  and 
Jerry,  was  actually  to  enter.  Brows  were 
wrinkled  and  brains  were  wracked  in  search 
for  a  fitting  reception.  College  customs  were  rejuven- 
ated.    Hazing  was  abolished. 

An  advance  guard  of  "Hib"  Garrett,  Leiand  and  the 
Ardmore  Printing  Company  soon  confirmed  the  report.  Then  came  Locke,  the  massive,  with  a  beaming 
smile  and  a  football,  Jawn  G.,  with  his  tennis  trophies  and  a  box  of  Phillip  Morrises,  and  all  the  rest  of  the 
brilliant  array.  It  would  take  too  long  to  describe  the  whole  scintillating  procession,  each  one  different 
and  all  worthyof  attention.     Besides,  this  is  a  history  and  not  a  confession  of  intrinsic  merit  alone. 

In  the  chapter  "Fall"  of  each  class  history  th  ere  are  six  divisions.     One,  the  Cane  Rush ;  two. 


35 


NINETEEN    FIFTEEN    RECORD 


the  Freshman  Entertainment;  three,  four,  five  and  six,  Football.  The  Cane  Rush  is  a  Sophomoric 
amusement.  We  sported  with  1914  for  a  time  over  a  paltry  five  feet  of  lumber.  They  seemed  to 
want  it.  We  were  always  a  courteous  class,  so,  although  we  had  nearly  as  many  hands  on  the  cane 
as  they  did,  we  let  them  have  it  by  the  scant  margin  of  14  to  12.  They  seemed  grateful.  We  smiled 
and  turned  to  things  more  germane  to  our  lofty  natures. 

The  Entertainment  seemed  to  promise  well.  With  a  large  number  of  fellow  aesthetes  we  prom- 
enaded a  while  in  the  cool  of  the  evening,  appreciating  the  delicate  green  of  the  moon  and  drawing 
obvious  comparisons.  We  at  times  gave  vent  to  our  high  spirits  in  ebullient  song.  After  this  soul- 
ful proceeding  we  were  taken  indoors  and  served  a  collation  of  moderately  fresh  tomatoes  in  the 
sanctified  confines  of  the  Greek-frescoed   "old  collection  room." 

From  a  firm  conviction  of  our  physical  perfection — or  for  some  other  reason — the  assembled 
throng  demanded  that  we  appear  before  them  in  the  state  of  nudity  so  customary  with  Venus, 
Apollo  and  other  deities.  We  complied.  Jerry's  undeniable  perfections  prompted  long-drawn 
"a-a-ahs"  from  the  critiques — Fansler  becoming  especially  enthusiastic. 

Tales  and  songs  were  in  order  to  amuse  the  company.  "We  are  from  Baldwin's"  sung  in  a  voice 
hoarse  with  sentiment  won  thunderous  applause  for  the  sprightly  Kling.  Nitobe  proclaimed  with 
unblushing  candor  his  advent  from  "Hell,  sir."  He  ungraciously  refused  to  describe  the  place,  much 
to  the  disappointment  of  some  of  the  Sophs  who  wished  to  check  up  his  statements. 

In  the  vicinity  of  midnight  we  departed  the  hall  with  smiles  dripping  aquatically  from  our  vis- 
ages and  somebody's  clothes  draped  about  our  shivering  bodies.  A  lake  of  turbulent  water  and  frac- 
tured vegetables  lay  shimmering  in  the  moonlight  and  we  had  become  Haverfordians  by  all  the  rites 
of  baptism. 

Midway  in  the  year,  Mousa  Jirius  Kaleel,  having  glutted  himself  on  opposing  football  players, 
and  finding  the  curriculum  too  tame  for  his  savage  taste,  became  afflicted  with  the  wanderlust.  At 
the  nearest  approach  to  a  sob-party  that  our  merry  band  has  ever  had,  "Moose"  drew  upon  us  for 
our  entire  allowance.  After  a  lengthy  song-fest  and  cider  carousal  at  which  many  somber  farewell 
speeches  were  made,  the  Moose  and  1915  were  conceded  to  be  the  best  ever,  and  the  gnarled  warrior 
set  out  for  Boston  via  Palestine.  Moose  was  a  genius.  His  "come-back"  would  have  been  enough  to 
annihilate  Jesse  Willard. 

On  the  scrub,  Farr,  Levis  and  Pharo  played  an  honorable  season  and  for  one  year  at  least  1915 
was  not  accused  of  having  a  dearth  of  football  players.  Senior  year  with  Eddie  Farr  on  the  Var- 
sity as  our  only  player  was  still  far  ahead.

HAVERFORD    COLLEGE 


Internal  warfare  of  a  friendly  but  vigorous  sort  deprived  us  of  sleep  until  the  upper-classmen 
began  to  come  to  breakfast  in  a  bitter  mood.  Even  Morley's  cordial  "good-nights"  did  not  seem  to 
afford  them  the  proper  amount  of  wholesome  slumber.  North  Barclay,  topped  with  Sophomore  hats, 
would  make  noisy  midnight  onslaughts  on  South.  South  would  repel  the  invaders  and  in  the  small 
hours  of  the  morning  would  return  the  attack.  Tired  of  the  monotony  of  this,  after  a  few  sleepless 
nights  the  doughty  warriors  descended  twenty  strong  on  the  fold  of  the  Merionites.  The  six  or  seven 
inhabitants  of  this  studious  hall  were  scattered  but  not  defenseless.  Broken  locks  and  bent  bed-legs 
in  the  room  of  Felix  and  Monk  Pharo  bear  witness  to  the  efficiency  of  crunching  cinders  as  a  tocsin 
for  manful  combat.  A  bucket  of  water  and  the  wrath  of  our  future  Y.  M.  C.  A.  President  at  feeling 
the  cool  liquid  trickling  down  his  back  resulted  in  a  mashed  and  bloody  nose  for  Sowell.  "A-a-ah, 
Sowell,"  was  the  morning  greeting  for  the  Medico  during  several  weeks.  Two  attacks,  and  one 
invasion  of  a  Junior's  room  (which  wouldn't  have  mattered  much  if  the  Junior  had  not  been  the 
god-like  Church)  were  required  before  the  Merionites  rubbed  their  eyes  and  considered  a  I'eturn 
attack.  At  two  o'clock  one  morning,  Sowell  and 
the  Monk  woke  up  Morley,  "Pete"  Newell,  Jonah 
and  the  Parson.  Hallett  was  pulled  from  his  bed. 
The  terrible  Dane  was  nerved  to  the  attack  and 
the  raid  commenced.  The  fire-escape  as  a  means 
of  ingress,  a  careful  apportionment  of  victims  and 
a  firm  and  relentless  execution  of  plans  brought 
about  the  desired  result.  Sleeping  forms  were 
buried  under  beds.  Pugnacious  individuals  were 
left  recumbent  in  hallways,  bloody  noses  were 
atoned  for,  the  "Jarl"  gave  a  timid  tug  at  Karl's 
bed-clothes,  and  the  invaders  had  retired  before  the 
stunned  inhabitants  had  become  quite  aware  of  the 
course  of  events. 

North  Barclay  was  our  most  interesting  haul. 
The  sidling  form  of  "Jerry"  Hill  came  to  its  nightlv 
rest  here.  Saco  stroked  his  protesting  violin  much 
to  the  annoyment  of  the  contemplative  Hoopes  and 
the  unappreciative  Chetty.     He  even  drove  some  of

his  neighbors  to  drink  deeply  of  a  hair-raising  liquor  (bay-rum)  much  to  the  consternation  of  Durgin. 
"Bro"  Kling,  the  Rabelais  of  the  class,  kept  ennui  from  the  battered  door.  Mus-Tang  slept  the  opu- 
lent sleep  of  the  Oriental  with  a  combative  umbrella  within  easy  reach.  The  imprecations  which  he 
muttei-ed  in  his  sleep  hurt  no  feelings  since  they  were  couched  in  the  mystic  language  of  Confucius. 

"The  Count"  spun  endless  discourses  on  tnings  present 
and  things  to  come.  Among  other  things,  he  has  lately 
said  that  "Karl  was  at  college  a  good  deal  of  the  time 
Freshman  year."  "Hib"  Garrett  was  also  in  this  hall, 
and  Coleman's  modest  lispings  could  be  heard  at  times. 
On  the  third  floor  Levis  and  Locke  lived  in  monastic 
solitude.  The  Sophomores  seemed  to  take  to  these  im- 
mortals though  tney  did  black-ball  them  from  their 
society  at  the  first  of  the  year.  One  evening  they  were 
given  an  exciting  automobile  ride  by  these  gentlemen. 
Chetty  Carey  evolved  a  unique  way  of  travel  when  devoid 
of  funds  on  his  return  trip.  The  time  that  the  "Count" 
nearly  drowsed  off  into  his  long  sleep  because  of  a  brass 
ink-stand  hurled  by  the  irascible  Jerry  proved  that  the 
latter  was  not  always  merely  a  fugitive  shadow.  But 
his  "fugues"  were  speedy  when  they  happened.  Jerry  was  more  a  class  institution  than  a  member 
merely.  We  have  not  space  here  to  do  complete  justice  to  the  noble  creature  who  might  be  found 
wound  round  and  round  a  column  before  the  dining-room  door,  like  baby  ribbon  around  a  stick, 
whenever  we  went  to  replenish  our  material  stores.  Speaking  of  meat  and  drink,  what  could  be  a 
more  awful  warning  against  over-indulgence  in  the  same  than  Jawn  G.'s  "two-beer  hang  over"? 

One  of  our  chief  exhibitions  was  two  real  Harvard  students.  Minot  with  his  extreme  world- 
weariness  and  the  genial  Bliss  will  always  be  dear  to  the  hearts  of  many  of  our  members.  The 
"Venus  and  Adonis  Club"  with  its  letters  from  widows  worth  $40,000  and  Honus  Wagner  as  Secre- 
tary can  be  traced  to  the  inventive  minds  of  these  gentlemen,  as  well  as  many  another  jovial  prank

and   interesting  experiment.     Perhaps  a   more  extended  description  of  their  enterprises  would  be  too 
risque  for  this  sober  publication. 

Two  floors  above  their  heads  and  in  contradistinction  with  the  Venus  and  Adonis  Club  was  the 
Johnson  and  Boswell  Alliance.  Whipple  and  the  learned  Bowman  held  their  own  in  the  grim  realms 
of  knowledge.  Bowman  could  scarcely  restrain  his  passion  for  the  sweet  strains  of  Keats'  "Prome- 
theus Bound"  (as  sung  in  dulcet  tones  by  Votaw  before  his  try 
at  the  Glee  Club)  except  under  the  gentle  influence  of  Shakes- 
peare's "Evangeline."  South  Barclay  had  its  energetic  mo- 
ments. Bitter  fights  took  place  between  Cy  and  the  whole  sec- 
ond floor,  Weikel  and  "Watso"  occasionally  lending  their  aid. 
Cy  used  to  fight  an  iiatin-elle  until  a  broken  bottle  punctured  the 
velvet  pinkncss  of  his  skin  and  he  was  forced  to  clothe  himself — 
materially  hampering  the  efficiency  of  his  attacks.  Turner's 
bizarre  quarters  and  the  Turkish  odor  from  the  Tobe's  room 
when  Goph  had  taught  him  the  uses  of  the  cigarette  made  an 
intensely  exotic  atmosphere  on  the  second  floor.  Brinton  is  said 
to  have  improved  his  cricket  in  bowling  at  a  P.  A.  can.  Once  in 
a   while  there   was   studying.     Grover's   seminars   before   mid-      fc_ 

years  were,  however,  considered  to  uphold  the  major-weight  of      >i-" .  

this  side  of  college  life. 

In  Founders,  Dixie  Dunn  held  joint  sway  with  the  Lathem-Goddard  twins  of  sainted  memory. 
The  history  of  Merion  and  Founders  is  almost  inextricrible.  Founders  was  an  annex  of  the  former 
dormitory.  Felix  was  wont  to  ascend  to  its  eyrie  at  everv  period — to  leave  a  book,  borrow  some  rai- 
ment, or  to  deliver  an  unwontedly  brilliant  jewel  from  his  teeming  mind.  Jarl  Egolf  came,  too,  to 
hurl  the  latest  canto  of  the  vitriolic  "Dunciad"  at  the  quivering  Dunn,  or  listen  in  terrific  glee  to  the 
vaunting  strains  of  the  "Egolfiad."  Pete  Newell' s  yellow  shoes  graced  the  window  sill  often  and 
Sowell  would  at  times  consent  to  hold  the  company  spell-bound  with  his  vivid  descriptions  of  a 
"cadavar"  with  the  epidermis  removed.     Pharo  also  found   Flounders  an  excellent  place  from  which

to  observe  human  nature  at  its  sprightliest.  Maurice  Hewlett  does  not  belong  to  our  class.  But  he 
should  be  at  least  an  honorary  member.  The  report  is  that  Dixie  Dunn  found  his  "Forest  Lovers" 
in  a  retired  alcove  of  the  library.  From  then  until  the  end  of  the  year  no  one  else  could  find  it  there. 
Maulfrey,  the  Jarl,  and  Pete  laid  hands  upon  it  after  Dixie  had  done,  and  given  his  glowing  descrip- 
tion.    "Jonah"  could  scarcely  be  separated  from  it  in  time  to  leave  for  his  summer  vacation. 

In  baseball  we  carried  off  the  honors.  Sowell  won  us  the  championship  in  the  ninth  inning  of 
the  last  game  of  the  series.  He  knocked  out  a  three  bagger  with  the  game  a  tie,  scored  two  men, 
and  won  our  eternal  gratitude. 

Speaking  of  Sophomores   (we  weren't  but  we  might  have  been)    it  should  go  upon  record  that 

the  right  way  to  tame  these  individuals 
when  their  Sophomoreness  becomes  too 
acute  is  to  put  their  beds  up  a  tree,  fling 
their  bed-clothes  to  the  breeze  and  de- 
part—  (e.  g.,  "Unk"  Russell  and  his 
general  insolence  to  1915). 

The  ancient  Barker,  en  famille,  the 
spoon  feed  at  which  Van  Hollen,  who 
liad  superseded  Ellison  as  class  presi- 
dent, promoted  the  movement  which 
removed  a  certain  spicy  perquisite  of 
the  same — at  least  by  1915 — as  well  as 
the  cake-walk  and  Nitobe's  "Red  Lion 
Stock  Company" — all  this  happened  in 
our  fresh  and  verdant  year.  We  were 
an  ingenious  and  versatile  lot  and  our 
first  year  was  more  varied  and  colored 
than  it  would  appear  from  this  slight 
record.  But  it  did  come  to  an  end.  It 
had  that  in  common  with  the  freshman 
years  of  other  classes.

N  September  26,  1912,  all  roads  led  to  Haverford.  With  sand  or  pine-needles  still  in  the 
cuffs  of  our  trousers,  we  straggled  back,  not  "reluctantly  to  school"  but  with  a  Cheshire 
grin  and  a  howl  as  we  saw  some  familiar  figure  sauntering  across  the  campus.  The  "glad 
hand"  was  the  order  of  the  day.  Next  we  hounded  Harry  for  our  trunks  and  then— 
"Reinie,  you're  Moon,  aren't  you?  You  look  fairly  healthy— help  me  upstairs  with  this." 
Our  class  hats  had  lost  their  pristine  purity  but  they  were  the  symbols  of  authority  and  we  flaunted 
them  incessantly  in  the  eyes  of  1916 — providing  th  ere  was  nothing  still  due  on  them  to  "Yo." 

We  had  been  often  told  that  Soph  year  would  see  a  huge  depletion  in  our  ranks  and  we  were  an.\- 
ious  to  know  who  had  fallen  by  the  wayside.  But  only  four  failed  to  answer  the  roll— "Watso"  with- 
drew across  the  river  and  his  cheery  "Little  game,   Weik?"  was  heard  no  more  in  the  land;  Sowell  had 


NINETEEN    FIFTEEN    RECORD 


taken  up  the  study  of  medicine — soon  to  have  named  for  him  a  little  piccaninny  whose  arrival  into  this 
world  he  had  supervised;  Minot  and  Bliss  no  longer  taught  us  the  language  of  Boston — but  Theis  re- 
tained Frank's  isosceles  triangle  walk  and,  on  state  occasions,  his  accent.  But  to  solace  our  grief  at 
these  losses.  Fortune  dealt  nobly  with  us.  Kemp  Taylor  sagely  preferred  us  to  1914 ;  Dr.  Hall's  heart 
leaped  within  him — Vail  came  over  the  horizon,  the  reproachless  Elwood,  like  Kemp  destined  to  be 
a  class  president  and  winner  of  a  "Corp."  The  mighty  "Mouser"  was  joined  by  a  compatriot  from 
Palestine — Selim  Totah,  a  cheerful  spirit,  but,  according  to  Egolf,  an  exponent  of  somewhat  informal 
method  of  fighting.  By  the  way,  note  Egolf's  attitude  in  the 
Sophomore  picture.  Helveston,  deciding  that  indeed  "this  is  the 
life"  and  that  a  day  student  merely  exists,  took  up  his  abode  in 
South  in  the  closely  segregated  district  occupied  by  Hill,  Whipple 
and  Theis.  In  short,  1915  showed  an  unprecedented  capacity  for 
sticking  and  a  true  appreciation  of  Haverford. 

Our  class  has  always  had  a  penchant  for  short  story  writing 
and  this  has  not  been  better  evidenced  by  the  stories  that  were 
rife  concerning  our  adventures  of  the  summer.  Truth  is  ever 
stranger  than  fiction — and  a  "perfect  stranger"  to  some  of  our 
members.  But  among  the  noteworthy  incidents  for  which  we 
can  vouch  is  Jack's  invasion  of  a  convent  at  Chatres.  No  man 
but  Jack  has  ever  slept  there — even  if  he  did  have  to  sleep  with 
"the  cows  and  chickens"  in  the  stable.    Let  us  hastily  pass  over 

the  inconceivable  error  of  the  dear  old  lady  who,  in   the  peculiar  lighting  eff'ects  that  a  pocket  search- 
light gives,  mistook  the  "Count"  for  a  second  Tarquin! 

Keedle  called  a  class  meeting  and  Dodge,  Locke  and  Coley  were  the  Sandows  selected  to  hold 
the  cane  for  us.  The  reinies  looked  husky  so  we  decided  that  they  would  be  worth  beating.  When 
Murray  shot  off  the  gun,  our  triumvirate  shoved  the  stick  toward  us  and  the  rest  was  like  taking 
canary  seed  from  a  cuckoo  clock.  The  next  Weekly  had  the  heading — "Freshmen  Overwhelmingly 
Defeated."  Under  our  thoughtful  care,  the  best  in  the  reinies  was  brought  out  for  the  delectation 
of  the  multitudes  assembled  at  the  Freshman  Entertainment.     A  loyal   subject  of  the  king  gave  a

rendition  of  "Jolly  Yorkshire  Lads"  that  was  easily  the  sensation  of  the  evening.  A  carload  of 
tomatoes  was  brought  in  and  our  marksmanship  was  perfected  as  the  freshmen  endeavored  to  jump 
two  at  a  time  through  a  two  by  three  window.  As  a  result,  the  Old  Collection  room  looked  as  if  the 
German  army  had  been  vivisecting  Belgian  babies.  Whereupon  the  indefatigable  Oscar  reported  that 
the  cleaning-up  operations  had  taken  eleven  men  and  a  colored  lady  forty-two  hour.s — and  the  bill 
was  proportionate.     Anyhow   it  was  a  memorable  occasion — for  the  reinies. 

Hazing  at  Haverford  has  been  abolished — if  you  don't  believe  it  ask  at  the  office.  But  we  took 
pains  to  give  a  certain  modicum  of  spiritual  education  to  the  freshmen — giving  it  in  the  same  good- 
humored  spirit  with  which  we  had  received  ours  the  preceding  year.  But  there  was  a  leak  somewhere, 
and  the  class  found  itself  facing  disaster.  We  attended  a  conference  with  the  President.  Some 
punishment  appeared  to  be  certain — it  was  merely  a  question  of  quantity.  To  ascertain  this, 
"Levis,"  said  the  President,  "what  shall  I  do  with  thee?"  Levi  squirmed,  swallowed  three  times, 
and  gurgled,  "Excuse  me,"  collapsing  into  the  arms  of  his  admiring  classmates.  Somehow,  it  didn't 
seem  so  serious  after  that,  and  we  were  released  with  an  admonition. 

At  the  head  of  the  stairs  to  third  floor  North  was  a  huge  sign  bearing  the  legend  "Death  to 
Reinies" — and  not  a  freshman  ventured  into  the  jaws  of  death  till  after  Christmas.  Meekness  is 
admirable  in  freshmen.  Having  given  1916  a  fitting  welcome  to  our  midst,  we  turned  our  atten- 
tion to  football.  Locke,  Kaleel,  and  Levis  were  our  contributions  to  the  team  but  the  latter  injured 
his  leg  and  was  kept  out  of  most  of  the  games.  The  season  was  unfortunate,  particularly  the  Le- 
high game,  but  our  trip  to  South  Bethlehem  was  thoroughly  enjoyable.  As  usual  the  season  closed 
with  the  Soph-Fresh  game.  It  was  painful  but  It  was  far  from  scandalous.  Above  all  things,  1916 
is  a  football  class  (witness  their  brutal  26-0  defeat  of  1917).  Yet  our  team,  weakened  by  the  ab- 
sence of  Levis,  fought  them  to  a  standstill  during  three  quarters  of  the  game.  Toward  the  end  of 
the  first  half  they  got  the  ball  across  for  the  only  time.  Our  men  went  back  in  the  second  half  and 
played  hair-raising  football.  The  end  of  the  last  quarter  was  unforgetable.  We  made  first  down  after 
first  down;  Dods:e  tore  off  a  50-yard  run;  more  gains  and  the  ball  was  on  their  7-yard  line  and  then — 
the  whistle!     We  were  beaten  6  to  0,  but  "the  proper  spirit"  was  all  there.     The  team:

In  prophecy  of  the  skill  that  was  to  make  them  twice  the  college  Doubles  Champions,  Weikel  and 
Hallett  reached  the  final  round  of  the  fall  tournament. 

We  were  never  blessed  with  any  exceptionally  brilliant  football  players,  but  after  skimming  ofi 
one  good  team  we  could  still  put  a  sturdy  bunch  of  amateurs  on  the  field.  Wogglebug  football  is  par- 
ticularly our  forte.  First  the  Juniors  and  then  the  Seniors  bit  the  dust  and  we  won  the  first  of  our 
two  Wogglebug  Championships. 

With  the  close  of  football  season  the  sordid  round  of  gym  began  and  we  yearned  for  the  end  of 
the  third  quarter  that  was  to  emancipate  us — and  incidentally  leaked  out  the  door  by  dozens  while 
Lance  was  giving  instructions  in  the  cut  and  catch.  Van  Hollen  was  our  most  regular  representa- 
tive on  the  soccer  team  and  the  season  was  very  good.  In  the  Intercollegiates,  Harvard  alone  beat 
us  and  our  defeat  of  Penn  was  the  most  thrilling  soccer  we  have  seen. 

North  Barclay  was  the  stronghold  of  college  life  as  depicted  in  novels  and  comic  supplements. 
The  "I.  W.  W."  or  "I  Won't  Work"  Society  was  an  influential  fraternity  there.  The  names  of  the

was  too  busy  to  be  at  college  often  or  at  classes  even  and  with  him  Dean  Gummere  assiduously  con- 
ducted a  one-sided  correspondence.  Tobe  added  telegraph  to  his  list  of  periodic  fads.  An  oil  stove 
made  Megarge's  budoir  resemble  the  country  store  of  fiction  and  Hill  was  imported  from  South  to  play 
bridge.  "North"  ran  to  peculiar  decorating  effects — Jack's  and  Tobe's  Oriental  domicile,  the  red  bur- 
lap monstrosity  that  belonged  to  Ed  and  Bro ;  and  Doc's 
"Louvre"  were  the  most  striking  of  these.  The  padlock 
on  Leland's  and  Coley's  room  made  it  a  haven  for  such 
iniquitous  pursuits  as  "hearts"  and  "500,"  and  its  "harem 
room"  was  a  work  of  art.  Ed,  Tom,  Jim,  the  Count,  and 
Doc  celebrated  Lincoln's  birthday,  but  the  last  did  not 
answer  the  roll  at  the  close. 

One  of  the  most  popular  winter  sports  was  "supeing." 
Hubert  was  selected  from  a  crowd  of  fifty  and  made  a 
glorious  high  priest  in  "The  Jewels  of  the  Madonna." 
Cy,  in  "Macbeth,"  made  the  ghastly  error  of  carrying  a 
tree  (used  in  the  "Birnam  Wood"  scene)  into  the  wrong 
parade  and  fled  without  waiting  for  his  stipend. 

Keedle,  Tom,  Levi  and  Henry  contributed  hand- 
somely to  the  "Chase  Fund"  on  account  of  smoking  in  a  "Physical  Straining"  exam.  Ed.  Grossman  sold 
fourteen  tons  of  the  toothless  "Barking  Dog"  to  the  smokers  of  the  college.  Doc  and  Henry  conducted 
a  sociological  investigation  of  Atlantic  City  over  Easter.  After  an  all-night  session  with  diphtheria 
germs  as  uninvited  guests,  Chet,  scared  blue  as  were  the  others,  was  well  punctured  with  serum  injec- 
tions. One  of  our  most  notable  parties  was  given  in  the  roof  garden  by  Brink  and  Shaff — three  girls 
and  eight  men,  ably  chaperoned  by  Bill  Hare  and  Jack  Keough. 

In  the  Emerson  Medal  Contest,  Cy,  Tang  and  Ellison  wei-e  compelled  to  yield  to  Bill  Allen's  fiery 
appeal  for  the  teaching  of  "Sex  Hygiene  in  the  Kindergarten."  Probably  during  no  other  year  were 
our  classes  as  full  of  life.  Chem.  I  was  the  feature.  Dr.  Hall — "Harvey,  what  is  an  ore?"  Harvey 
— "close  the  door?"  Dr.  Hall — "Ellison,  what  have  I  in  this  dish?"  Jim  (drowsily) — "Did  you  say 
fish?"    Coley  and  Weik  were  so  much  amused  by  the  course  that  they   tried  it  again   two   years  later.

Latin  II  was  enlivened  as  usual  by  both  professors  and  students.  Dr.  Gummere — "Falconer,  'quis  fuit 
Dmnces?'  Cy — "Turnus  amavit  Laviniam!"  In  French,  Tang  was  guilty  of  many  glorious  solecisms, 
though  Bowie  ran  him  a  close  second. 

In  the  middle  of  April  occurred  the 
great  Whitall  fire,  and,  by  common  con- 
sent, the  hero  of  the  event  was  our  Hubert. 
In  no  small  amount  of  danger,  Sook  leaped 
about  in  the  flames,  smashed  all  the  ma- 
chinery and  plied  the  axe  with  a  ven- 
geance. Church  Longstreth's  explanation 
of  Hubert's  method  of  putting  out  the 
blaze  is  open  to  question.  Even  Jimmy 
Carpenter  went  insane  in  his  efforts  to 
save  the  library  and  used  language  not 
suited  to  a  Quaker  college. 

As  usual  the  Spring  was  idyllic  and 
"study"  was  a  word  heard  only  on  the  lips 
of  Bowman.  At  the  Spring  Opening  we 
starred.  With  the  lightest  team  on  the 
floor,  we  walked  away  with  the  tug  of  war. 
Brink  was  the  sensation  of  the  under- 
water swim — seven  lengths,  three  ahead 
of  his  nearest  competitor.  Junior  Night — Haverford's  only  social  event — saw  Hendricks  and  Leland  in 
"The  Importance  of  Being  Earnest."  Cricket,  tennis,  track,  not  to  mention  "dingle-ball"  and  French 
cricket,  held  our  attention.  The  Swarthmorons  were  beaten  in  tennis  and  track  and  Hallett  leaped  his 
way  to  an  "H."  Keedle,  Ed,  Coley,  and  Jim  played  on  the  first  cricket  team  and  were  chosen  for  the 
Canadian  trip.  Chetty  and  Bowie  were  on  the  second  team.  The  Soph-Fresh  game  was  a  massacre — 
153  to  80.    Brinton  scored  an  89  not  out.

The  last  epidemic  of  examinations  was  survived  and  we  stretched  ourselves  on  the  campus  and 
drowsily  watched  Bergdoll  sail  over.  Then  Class  Day  arrived  and  we  ate  ourselves  into  a  state  of  coma 
in  honor  of  the  departure  of  1913.  More  or  less  unwillingly,  we  packed,  nailed  up  our  closets  and 
strolled  down  to  the  station  wondering  if  the  summer  was  to  offer  us  such  delights  as  had  been  ours 
during  Sophomore  Year.

ITH  our  natural  dignity  in  complete  subjection  to  sheer  exuberance  of  spirit,  we  cheerfully 
approached  the  North  entrance  to  the  dining-room,  entirely  oblivious  of  Sangree  and  other 
timid  Seniors.  Here  a  shock  awaited  us.  Perched  on  the  rail,  his  birdlike  features  seamed 
with  the  myriad  responsibilities  of  his  position,  it  was  the  Count  who  first  brought  home 
the  realization  that  we  were  Juniors.     "Two  weeks  last  Saturday,"  he  replied  tersely,  when 

Tom  asked  how  long  he  had  been  back.     Slightly  oppressed  by  a  new  appreciation  of  our  merits,  we 

descended  en  masse  upon  the  newly  created  "Sanger  Fest." 

At  the  first  our  personnel  was  not  much  changed.     Totah  had  left  us  for  the  questionable  delights 

of  the  Aluminum  trade,  a  pastime  which  has  chafed   sorely   upon   more   than   one   of   our   members. 

"Scarey"   Thomas,   welcomed   from   1914,   gracefully  preened  his  auburn  plumage  till  several  eccentric

acts  convinced  all  comers  that  he  was  better  off  in  Baltimore.  Pete  Newell  had  finally  severed  hio 
affiliations,  though  next  year  we  saw  our  "little  friend  of  all  the  world"  an  embryo  osteopath  in  Phil- 
adelphia. Tang,  during  this  year  a  temporary  deserter  to  Wisconsin,  has  found  first  loves  to  be  best 
and  is  now  an  Ardmore-abiding  Senior,  with  landlady  and  bath-tub.     The  passing  year  made  other 

breaches.    Jimmy  found  the  pace  too  hot  and  retired  to 

Germania  to  recuperate,  re-entering  as  our  bequest  to 
1916.  Karl  joined  the  business  world.  That  greatest 
loss,  which  was  so  terrible  a  blow  to  all  of  us,  we  can 
only  mention.  A  more  adequate  remembrance  of  Hib- 
bard  is  elsewhere  in  our  Record. 

Our  choice  of  rooms  was  cosmopolitan.  South  and 
Merion  were  most  popular.  A  select  coterie  still  affirmed 
the  charms  of  North,  and  other  halls  were  well  repre- 
sented. Shaff  and  Brink  moved  out  of,  Emmett  and 
Whip  into,  the  attic,  and  in  these  remote  seclusions  were 
witness-rd  Jonah's  first  deviations  from  the  narrow  path, 
a  judicious  combination  of  the  "Droll  Tales"  and  Dixie's 
anecdotes  having  undone  all  the  ill  effects  of  Westtown. 
At  Merion  the  Monk  radiated  sunshine,  immured  amid 
pipes,  books.  Lance's  piano,  and  reams  of  Genial  Poetry. 
Don  and  Tobe  were  furthest  North  in  New  Lloyd.  Great 
scholastic  achievement  was  expected  from  this  seclusion, 
but  the  prophets  were  disappointed,  although  a  grade  of 
88 7f  was  announced  for  the  third  quarter.  Investiga- 
tion proved  that,  as  usual,  the  two  were  combining  their 
possessions. 

We  lost  no  time  in  examining  the  merits  and  defects 
of  our  various  electives.  Dr.  Gummer's  "Chaucer" 
attracted  many  and  Megarge  surprised  everyone,  him-

kcIj"  most  of  all,  by  knocking  down  a  cold  "A." 
Whispers  of  <l>.  H.  K.  were  rife,  but  Levi,  scorn- 
ing utilitarian  motives,  gracefully  relapsed  into 
more  consistent  grades.  A  small  and  select 
group  vainly  wrestled  with  the  irascible  doctor 
in  Chem.  II,  and  the  recording  angel  must  have 
a  whole  chapter  devoted  to  the  havoc  of  those 
"Red  Monday"  quizzes.  By  no  means  the  most 
remarkable  answer  was  the  ready  response  of 
Kemp  when  demanded  the  names  of  two  salts  of 
tin: — "Tin  Stannate,  and  Tin  Stannite,  Sir!" 
The  engineering  department  continued  to  attract 
some,  P.  R.,  Egolf,  and  the  Crosmans  being  most 
in  evidence.  Felix,  as  yet  blissfully  ignorant  of 
a  more  cultural  future,  gleefully  turned  door 
knobs  in  the  shop.     Breaking  into  song  at  this 

pursuit  one  day,  he  brought  Weaver  tearing  down   tidiii   the   third   lloor  ti 
in  the  machinery ! 

By  rights  we  should  have  won  the  Wogglebug  Championship  which,  with  our  Soph  and  Senior 
victories,  would  have  made  us  champions  all  three  years.  We  had  easily  defeated  1916  and  were 
playing  1914  for  the  title.  For  some  reason,  the  last  quarter  was  played  in  total  darkne.ss  and  dur- 
ing a  scrin;mage  Kelly  put  the  ball  under  his  jersey  and  crawled  down  the  sidelines  for  the  only 
touchdown.  The  game  went  on  with  Coley's  headguard  and  not  until  time  was  called  did  Kelly's 
shrieks  from  behind  the  goal  attract  attention.  That  the  referee  was  a  member  of  1914  has  been 
pointed  out,  but  we  have  never  felt  the  need  of  being  anything  but  generous — even  with  champion- 
ships at  stake. 

The  snow  fell  and  we  retired  to  pipe  and  book  with  weekly  sallies  upon  the  diversions  of  Phil- 
adelphia. Ed,  Tom,  Megarge,  and  Chetty  indulged  in  an  occasional  hand  and  Cy  turned  the  nose 
of    the    Civics    Club    toward    Prohibition    and    the  open   seas.     Even   the   Classicists   were   heard   of

through  the  famous  incident  of  the  overshoes; — going  to  a  meeting  at  Dr.  Baiter's  house,  Bowie  was 
much  delighted  by  Dunn's  arctics  on  Whipple's  feet.  After  the  meeting,  L.  G.  found  another  pair 
even  more  disreputable  and  held  them  above  his  head  shrieking  sarcastic  comments.  "Dick"  watched 
the  proceeding  with   an  aggrieved   expression — and   no  wonder,   for  the  maligned  footgear  was  his 

own !  On  learning  the  Bowie  was  inconsolable,  be- 
lieved the  sedulous  attentions  of  three  years  come  to 
naught,  and  even  refused  to  partake  of  tne  refreshments. 
We  had  been  back  from  the  Christmas  holidays  but 
a  short  time  before  two  changes  became  apparent.  Tne 
first,  not  universally  noticed,  but  none  the  less  poignant 
to  a  few  enthusiasts,  was  the  removal  of  the  Rathskeller 
to  make  room  for  the  Arcade  Building.  Neither  Soulas' 
nor  Lauber's  or  even  more  expensive  retreats  can  ever 
hope  to  vie  with  the  delights  afforded  by  the  subter- 
ranean mysteries  of  the  "Ratz."  The  other  metamor- 
phosis was  primarily  confined  to  the  Tobe  though  it 
quickly  radiated  to  all  who  came  in  contact  with  thai 
volatile  personality.  One  of  our  three  delegates  to  the 
Student  Volunteer  Convention  at  Kansas  City  during  the 
vacation,  Yo's  nature  seemed  to  have  undergone  a  posi- 
tive avatar — no  other  word  can  do  it  justice.  The  most 
immediate  result  was  the  famous  "Morning  Watch"  held 
before  breakfast  in  the  old  Y.  M.  C.  A.  room.  Tobe  and 
Loring  were  always  there,  P.  R.  and  Goph  sometimes. 
No  greater  testimony  to  Tobe's  enthusiasm  can  be  given 
than  the  fact  that  Gene  was  once  present.  The  second 
morning  the  alarm  clock  was  on  the  job  at  6  :30,  but  Gene 
failed  to  respond.  He  borrows  an  alarm  clock  when  he 
wants  to  rise  early  now.

The  perennial  Midyear  came,  saw,  and  was  ignominiously  conquered.  New  stars  blazed  forth 
upon  the  scholastic  firmament,  chief  among  them  bsing  Shaff,  who,  gently  cradled  amid  countless  hours 
of  Biology,  corralled  A's  in  a  way  that  made  George  and  Bowie  look  anxiously  to  their  laurels.  Dixie 
cursed  the  family  tie  which  had  drawn  him  into  Math.  III.,  turning  thence  only  to  pour  the  vials  of  in- 
vective upon  German  A  and  its  bristly  sponsor.  To  this  baleful  influence  are  traced  those  strange  rheu- 
matic twinges  which  assailed  T.  K.  about  this  time.  It  w'as  when  the  simplified  spelling  "bee"  was  par- 
ticularly rampant  in  Center  Barclay  and  the  preceding  bit  of  English  as  she  is  writ  was — we  blush  to 
admit — purloined  from  the  abode  of  Henery  Joal.  Whether  or  not  that  mild  and  melancholy  eye  was  ever 
cast  upon  the  recumbent  "stif"  is  very  problematical.  Poor  Henery  may  have  been  severely  taken  to 
task  about  those  shoes  and  trousers,  but  it  was  not  his  fault.  He  never  got  the  note  and  it  rests  today 
as  the  most  cherished  relic  in  the  scrap- 
book  of  the  present  compiler. 

The  wholly  delightful  interval  be- 
tween Midyear  and  Junior  Day  was  inter- 
esting though  marked  with  no  untoward 
incident.  Several  smokers,  enlivened  by 
the  martial  strains  of  Egg's  class  song, 
demonstrated  clearly  that  we  had  left  be- 
hind all  semblance  of  factions  and  were 
bound  together — North,  South,  Center, 
Merion  and  Lloyd — by  bonds  which  the 
passing  years  can  only  strengthen.  Tobe 
became  Editor-in-  Chief  of  the  "Haverfor- 
dian"  and  P'elix  was  also  numbered  among 
the  immortals.  Under  his  temporary 
leadership  as  president  the  class  stood 
solidly  behind  the  existing  honor  system, 
weathering  the  storm  in  a  way  which 
brought  forth  congratulations  from  Isaac.

Bowie  and  Jonah  joined  Kemp  as  our  qualified  gymnasts.  Goph  was  elected  soccer  captain.  Loring  be- 
came entrusted  with  the  difficult  task  of  assuring  oar  salvation,  and  after  the  tour  of  the  musical  clubt; 
to  Atlantic  City  (a  trip  about  which  the  Count  and  Keedle  tell  incredible  yarns)  Kemp  and  Hubert 
were  selected  in  the  twin  branches  of  harmony.  How  well  they  have  fulfilled  their  trust  is  shown  by 
the  unparalleled  success  of  the  clubs  this  year. 

Our  Junior  Banquet,  held  at  the  Hotel  Continental,  deserved  notice  both  for  its  success — "Mike" 
Bennett  was  our  guest  of  honor  and  "Aub"  Sowell  and  "Bro"  Kling  were  present  to  remind  us  of  old 
times — and  for  subsequent  adventures.  Starting  in  a  body,  we  soon  divided  into  congenial  groups  in 
quest,  by  no  means  fruitless,  of  amusement.  Of  Yo's  experience  at  the  back  door  of  the  "Troc"  and  of 
the  kaleidoscopic  splendor  of  the  Chorus  Girls'  Ball — to  the  inmost  recesses  of  which,  Yo,  Felix  and 
the  Count  penetrated — we  will  not  treat.  Of  the  trio,  two  made  the  12:15 — but  they  were  without 
Henry ! 

And  then  to  Junior  Night,  which  was  a  universally  acclaimed  success.  With  characteristic  enter- 
prise we  had  transferred  the  nucleus  of  festivities  from  the  Gymnasium  to  the  Dining  Room,  trans- 
formed to  another  Eden  by  the  skillful  artistry  of  Saco  and  his  minions.  In  the  Memorial  Garden,  Le- 
land  had  had  an  attractive  supper  prepared,  at  which  only  191.5  and  her  guests  were  present — a  dis- 
tinctively class  feature  which  did  much  to  enhance  the  evening's  success.  Henry,  too,  was  our  only  rep- 
resentative in  the  cast  of  "Engaged" — though  Paul  Hendricks  wielded  a  power  unseen  as  Stage  Man- 
ager and  Sam  Wagner  officiated  for  the  Cap  and  Bells  in  some  responsible  capacity,  exactly  what,  no 
one  has  been  able  to  discover.  Indeed  Sam  himself  is  distinctly  hazy  upon  this  point.  When  the  lights 
faded  on  a  very  wan  and  weary  class,  we  none  of  us  counted  our  mental  worries  and  physical  strains, 
so  more  than  compensated  were  they  by  a  Junior  Night  which,  at  the  least,  stands  head  and  shoulders 
above  any  we  can  remember. 

The  perfect  days  of  May  dreamed  by  in  a  placid  succession  of  enjoyment.  We  were  care-free 
hedonists  in  that  most  glorious  period  of  our  college  course — the  Spring  of  Junior  year.  From  Cope 
came  the  crisp  crack  of  ball  and  bat,  but  the  non-cricketers  rested  easy.  Were  not  Eddie,  and  Coley,  and 
Keedle  more  than  upholding  our  laurels  at  the  wickets  and  assuring  themselves  of  the  subsequent 
English  tour?  To  be  sure,  it  is  a  rara  avis  among  classes  that  can  claim  a  wicket-keep  like  Eddie  or 
such  a  bowler  as  Keedle.    And  then  there  was  that  superhuman  victory  over  1914.     The  nine  Gods  of

Tarquin  have  blazoned  for  eternal  glory  how  Brint,  going  in  first,  stuck  through  the  diabolic  bowling 
of  Stacker  Stokes  and  Captain  Garrigues  for  a  glorious  57,  not  out,  and  how  silent  Mac,  reliable  as  the 
Bank  of  England,  batting  last  man  with  four  runs  needed  for  a  tie,  calmly  blocked  for  four  overs  or  cut 
for  an  occasional  "one"  until  we  had  conquered ! 

On  Walton,  too,  we  were  in  the  limelight.  Shaff  heroically  trotted  gruelling  distances  and  George 
showed  amazing  prowess  as  a  high  jumper.  His  tie  for  second  at  the  Penn  relays  and  his  first  at  the 
Middle  States  with  a  leap  of  five  feet  eleven  must  be  recorded.     By  the  time  this  goes  to  press  we  are 

sure  George  will  have  completely 
fathometl  the  art  of  jumping!  He 
captains  the  team  this  year;  a 
worthy  leader. 

But  it  is  well  known  that  Spring 
stirs  budding  youth  to  other 
achievements  than  those  of  phys- 
ical prowess.  Toward  the  end  of 
May  came  Parson  Allen's  famous 
pilgrimage  to  Woodside.  All  that 
happened  has  never  been  revealed, 
but  it  is  known  that  Coy  Young, 
to  whom  we  must  attribute  P.  R.'s 
downfall,  was  busily  engaged  in 
making  the  impromptu  acquaint- 
ance of  two  of  the  gentler  sex  when 
Allen,  who  from  moral  or  diplo- 
matic reasons  had  remained  in  the 
background,  approaches  melodi- 
ously jingling  four  nickels  between 
his  hands  and  says  with  a  killing 
smile:     "Hello,  girls,  wanter  go  on  the  scenic?" 

"Linquenda  tellus  et  domiis  et  placens  uxor,"  we  once  chanted  in  Latin  II,  and  so,  with  Class  Day 
and  Commencement,  Junior  year  faded  into  the  never-to-be-forgotten  past.  To  the  assembled  families 
of  the  dear  departing,  Prexy  read  forth  the  various  honors  and  1915  held  far  more  than  her  fair  share. 
Bowie  and  George  both  won  the  signal  honor  of  'l>.B.  K.  So,  with  a  vague  presentiment  of  what  Com- 
mencement really  meant,  1915  clasped  hands  and  fled  away  amid  the  swiftly  falling  shadows.

ITH  President  Sharpless'  admonition  still  ringing  in  our  ears,  "o'er  moor  and  fen,  o'er  crag  and 
torrent"  swarmed  1915  to  the  trysting  place,  grimly  determined  to  show  our  worth  as  con- 
trollers of  the  college  destiny.  For  had  we  not  passed  through  two  of  the  Summers  which,  lo 
quote  our  Daisy  Dean,  "receive  us  boys  and  return  us  men?"  And,  though  doubting  the  appli- 
cation of  "the  first's  the  worse,  the  second's  the  same,"  we  were  ready  to  assign  our  last  year  together  to 
its  proper  rank. 

From  the  first  confused  supper  when  Don  Baird's  operatic  tenor  rang  clear  above  the  strains  of 
"Boys  Again  We  Are  Here,"  we  were  aware  of  new  and  potent  influences  in  our  midst.  Our  White 
Hopes  were  McCracken,  White,  Wain,  and  Webster,  while  from  an  inferior  class  Bye  and  Harvey  were 
preparing  to  make  the  leap  that  should  bring  them  distinction.  From  England's  bally  clim.e  carr.e  Coley, 
Keedle  and  Eddie  Crosman,  replete  with  wardrobe  and  war  anecdote,  burning  to  pex'petuate  our  cricket 
fame,  while  Jack  Gummere  eagerly  forsook  the  pitchfork,  and  our  own  George  shook  free  his  Titian  locks 
from  the  toils  of  Intercollefi:iate  tennis  to  lay  his  hand  upon  the  class  tiller.  Gi'over  Cleveland  had  de- 
parted for  Germania  and  Journalism. 

"First  things"  claimed  our  immediate  attention.     Coley  started  the  football  meeting  with  a  roar

that  grew  in  volume  till  that  eventful  day  when  the  victor's  mead,  so  opportunely  overflowing,  was 
snatched  from  our  lips.  Under  the  tuition  of  the  best  coach  ever  at  Haverford,  the  peerless  "Mike" 
Bennett,  our  men  were  molded  into  an  absolutely  harmonious  machine.  With  all  eyes  fixed  on  the 
Swarthmore  game,  college  spirit  was  everything  that  even  the  alumni  could  demand.  What  a  game 
that  was! — it  has  even  eclipsed  in  our  memory  the  great  day  when  F.  &  M.  bit  the  dust  of  their  own  field. 
On  the  defense,  our  line  was  the  sturdiest  of  stone  walls,  making  up  in  nerve  what  it  lacked  in  weight; 
on  the  offense  the  two  backfields  were  so  even  that  a  wholesale  nervous  prostration  threatened  both 
grand  stands.  True,  the  enemy  tied  the  score  in  the  last  few  minutes  and  went  home  in  high  glee,  but 
none  the  less  that  conflict  will  remain  indelibly  as  the  greatest  game  of  our  four  years.  And  next  year! 
Let  X  equal  exactly  the  same  team  ready  to  play  again ;  let  y  equal  another  year's  experience  under 
Mike  Bennett;  let  z  equal  the  potentialities  of  the  class  of  1919 — then,  .r-|-(/-|-z=what  score?  Quelle 
joie!    Congratulations,  Ed. 

In  this  season,  too,  P.  R.  fell  in  love,  and  Ed  Farr  initiated  the  disheartening  pursuit  of  the  pig- 
skin that  was  to  bring  him  near-wreaths  and 
crosses  and  finally  the  radiant  "H."  Megarge, 
too,  defied  his  jinx  till  it  laid  him  low  for  aye, 
while  Chet  felt  surge  within  him  the  untrammeled 
Wogglebug  spirit,  and  obeyed  its  call  like  a  true 
son  of  Haverford.  Meanwhile  Eddie  Crosman's 
lean  figure  could  be  seen  flitting  about  the  grid- 
iron with  the  nervous  activity  of  the  Manager. 
From  the  courts  the  progress  of  the  Bowie-Whip- 
Dixie-Jonah  foursome  was  evident  to  the  dis- 
tracted ear.  Don  framed  "News"  headlines  and 
issued  the  call  to  soccer.  To  vindicate  the  readi- 
ness of  1915's  response,  we  need  only  con  the 
names  of  Felix,  George,  Tobe,  Jack,  Shaff,  and 
Coley.  How  the  fortunes  of  war  wavered,  how

sounded,  and  how  the  "Watchful  Dummere"  guarded  the  goal  are  now  matters  of  history.  In  the  Inter- 
class  series  we  emerged  the  victors  by  a  safe  margin.  Tender  in  our  memory  is  "Get  the  Weikel!"  but 
he  could  not  be  got.  When  the  la.st  "dauntless"  third  team  game  was  over,  we  may  imagine  Gene 
breathed  a  sigh. 

In  Wogglebug  football,  too.  Captain  Chetty's  team  could  not  be  denied.  From  these  gory  contests 
George  survived  with  eyes  sufficiently  unimpaired  to  win  the  tennis  doubles  with  Weik,  while  Sam  stood 
by  and  calculated  the  expense  of  new  courts  and  backstops. 

In  the  waning  Fall  days  Haverford  gained  and  lost  by  the 
advent  of  the  Lubin  Company.  Only  on  our  Junior  Day  had  such 
a  galaxy  of  beauty  invaded  the  campus.  Cuts  were  taken  by  the 
dozen  and  Doc  Watson  held  forth  upon  blue-eyed  guinea  pigs  to 
a  class  composed  of  McNeill  and  Hallett.  All  activities  were  sus- 
pended in  favor  of  the  canned  drama.  Was  it  in  his  capacity 
as  Y.  M.  C.  A.  president  uplifting  histrionic  morals,  or  as  a  mem- 
ber of  the  Cap  and  Bells  that  "L.  P."  fell  from  grace  so  flagrant- 
ly? It  was  a  three  days'  wonder  and  then,  imperial  sanction 
being  withdrawn,  they  "folded  their  tents  like  the  Arabs"  and 
sought  pastures  new. 

Shaff  discovered  bugs.  Pal  Moore  bred  flies  with  pink  and 
green  orbs ;  Tweedy  came  and  went ;  the  musical  clubs  suffered 
at  Overbrook  ;  and  the  gym  escaped  destruction  by  a  margin  so 
narrow  that  Kemp  was  fain  to  weep.  Brink  entertained  himself 
in  Phil.  V  and  from  these  artistic  beginnings  we  may  thank  Doc 
Watson  for  the  "Merion  Menace,"  which  burst  upon  our  jaded 
senses  just  before  Christmas.  This  proved  to  be  no  sporadic 
growth,  but  one  well  connected  with  the  "pocketbook  nerve"  of 
the  undergraduates — to  such  an  extent  that  "Life"  is  reported  to 
have  bought  up  the  whole  volume  of  "Menaces"  and  "Scarlets" 
at  a  price  only  to  be  whispered  of,  and  Whip  tore  his  hair  lest  the 
artistic  fount  be  drained  ere  its  time. 
Meanwhile  the  Count,  true  to  Tom's  definition,  was  rarely  seen  when  not  in  a  hurry,  and  in  addition

to  many  trips  to  New  York,  condescended  to  instruct  us  all  in  the  gentle  art  of  ad-getting.  How  much 
of  this  was  wasted  on  irresolute  ears  n;ay  be  judged  from  the  story  of  one  of  us  who  cornered  the  man- 
ager of  an  Atlantic  City  hotel,  pleaded  fervently  with  him  for  ten  minutes  and  was  finally  greeted  with 
"Why,  I'm  sure  Haverford  must  be  a  very  nice  place,  and  your  Book  must  be  a  very  nice  sort  of  book, 
and  I'm  sure  I'd  give  you  an  ad — if  I  weren't  a  guest  here!" 

With  the  closing  in  of  winter,  the  "little  games"  spoken  of  so  fervently  by  Musty,  once  more  swing 
into  view,  but  were  forced  to  compete  with  Campus  Golf  for  pre-eminence  in  the  field  of  Winter 
Sports.  The  memoi-y  of  the  Count's  side-arm  delivery  and  the  rarrimi's  stealthy  ai)proach  must  re- 
main forever  green.  Musty  and  his  landlady  gave  us  a  feed 
at  which  George's  scruples  against  Ardmore  cider  were  irre- 
vocably demolished.  Paul  staged  a  screaming  Cap  and  Bells 
Try-out;  Ed  Farr  became  president  of  the  Baseball  Club; 
Jack  Gummere's  chatelaine  was  much  in  evidence,  and  the 
Founders  Club  gave  its  first  banquet. 

The  close  of  vacation  found  most  of  us  facing  the  grim 
i^alities  of  Senior  Thesis  and  Midyears.  Di.xie  redoubled  the 
i.itention  given  to  his  reptiles.  George  was  to  be  seen  almost 
nightly  in  Darkest  Philadelphia  listening  for  the  morning  song 
f,f  a  certain  species  of  bird,  while  Cyrus,  can  in  hand,  made 
the  round  of  the  campus  trees  and  prayed  for  the  Howing  of 
the  sap.  The  preponderance  of  9.3's  resulting  from  Midyears 
proved  as  never  before  1915's  scholastic  attainments  and 
forecast  a  multitude  of  keys. 

Meanwhile  Hubert's  solemn  guitar  continued  to  beat  out 
the  cadences  of  "Darkey's  Dream,"  and  191.5's  Glee  Club 
wrestled  with  the  intricacies  of  the  "Medley."     Praises  be  to

Dr.  Spiers  for  his  faith  in  these  dark  days!  Hubert's  "one-two-three,"  Saco's  "By  the  Sea"  and  Don's 
"eyes  of  bloo — oo"  were  the  high  spots.  The  Atlantic  City  trip  conjures  up  visions  of  Saco,  the  selsame 
sea,  and  the  lady  encountered  there. 

Elwood  was  now  forced  to  abandon  his  Fletcherized  lunch  in  favor  of  the  Class  Meeting,  where  he 
presided  with  dignity  and  vigor.  Tobe,  with  a  sentiment  touching  to  behold,  bade  his  "Haverfordian" 
Board  farewell,  while  Don  could  be  seen  in  the  "News"  office  figuring  profits  with  a  satisfied  smile. 
Saco  conducted  a  real  tour  to  hear  Billy  Sunday,  while  the  Egolphus  sped  away  to  the  strains  of  the 
Columbia.  Felix  was  summoned  to  the  S.  P.  C.  A.  on  a  charge  of  cruelty  to  dogs ;  Coley  called  on  the 
grass  widow  and  suffered  a  burglar  scare  in  common  with  the  Department  of  Mixed  Theology;  Harold 
played  an  active  part  in  the  Class  Tea,  and  Chetty  blushingly  announced  the  birth  of  Moses  G. 

In  the  gym  was  activity  indescribable.  Hubert  plunged  his  way  to  glory,  while  Bowie  became  mas- 
ter of  the  fly-away.  Jonah  spurred  the  refractory  steed  and  Kemp,  with  long  face,  eked  out  the  last  days 
of  a  blood-stained  career.  Tobe  proved  himself  a  good  angel  on  more  than  one  occasion — notably  that 
on  which  he  fed  Bowie  Chow  Main  till  2  A.  M. 


In  the  sheds  Keedle's  familiar  figure  was  seen 
diligently  bowling  and  prophesying  low  scores 
for  Penn,  while  George  emulated  the  early  bird 
and  issued  his  call  accordingly. 

The  last  and  best  class  banquet  was  enjoyed 
at  the  Merion  Golf  Club  with  perfect  concord 
and  the  Crosman  cousins  seated  diametrically 
opposite  each  other.  That  certain  of  us  slipped 
momentarily  from  grace  has  been  a  grief  to  us 
all,  though  they  give  us  to  understand  that  their 
sweet  young  lives  will  not  be  blighted  by  it. 

"And  then,  and  then  came  Spring" — Easter 
and  our  vacation  for  once  coinciding.  After 
that,  the  deluge — Ethics  theses  had  merely 
!?erved  to  remind  us  of  our  impending  doom —

the  Senior  thesis.  Dreaded  for  four  years,  it  was  upon  us.  Many  and  strange  were  the  subjects  we 
chose,  but  we  decided  to  profit  by  example  and  write  them  ourselves.  And  all  this  must  be  done  in  the 
greatest  season  of  the  year  and  in  our  last  college  year !  As  we  go  to  press  those  bitter-sweet  days  are 
dawning — sweet  in  the  pleasures  of  cricket,  track,  tennis  and  outdoor  loafing;  bitter  in  the  thought  that 
we  will  soon  have  run  our  course  and  know  those  delights  no  longer.  And  to  you  who  have  other  years 
before  you  here  we  offer  the  most  heartfelt  congratulations  as  we  regretfully  take  our  leave.

Litterati 


HE  Haverfordian.  founded  in  1877,  is  one  of  America's  oldest  college  magazines  and  is  Haverford's  most 
venerable  institution.  It  has  always  ranked  with  the  best  in  literary  quality,  but  like  all  such  publications 
it  has  been  somewhat  aloof  from  the  college  body.  This  is  the  problem  that  the  1913  editors  faced  and 
they  endeavored  to  meet  it  by  printing  ideas  and  facts  rather  than  sentiment  and  imagination,  and  by  includ- 
ing the  stage  and  music  in  its  pages,  as  well  as  literary  comments.  As  a  result  the  Haverfordian  was  more 
cosmopolitan  and  varied  in  its  interests  than  had  been  the  case  before. 

It  has  been  known  as  the  "1915  Monthly"  from  the  overwhelming  number  of  contributions  to  it  from  this  class. 
Pharo  and  Nitobe  made  the  Haverfordian  in  Freshman  year.  The  former  worked  on  the  Exchanges,  wrote  a  couple  of 
stories  and  some  essays.  But  his  forte  has  been  verse,  originally  of  a  "misty"  nature.  Nitobe  contributed  ten  short  stories, 
seven  articles  and  essays,  and  some  dozen  editorials  and  pastels.  His  subjects  have  been  political,  dramatic,  musical,  religious, 
aesthetic,  risqui-,  ethical  and  what  not.  His  titles  have  ranged  from  "Kansas  City  Convention"  and  "Friends  at  the  Front" 
to  "Brahms  at  a  Quarter"  and  "  fhe  Cabaret  Singer."      In  Senior  year  he  was  Editor-in-Chief. 

Kempton  Taylor  joined  the  Haverfordian  in  Sophomore  year  and  contributed  several  clever  and  individualistic  stories. 
His  most  valuable  work  was  the  emphasis  which  he  put  on  the  Alumni  Notes.  Van  Hollen  became  a  member  of  the 
Board  soon  after  Taylor  and  wrote  some  rather  chatty  essays  and  several  pieces  of  verse  which  attracted  unusual  at- 
tention. 

In  Junior  year,  Morley  won  the  Short  Story  Contest  and  since  his  election  to  the  Board  has  proved  to  be  of  the 
soundest  literary  merit.  He  won  the  second  Garrett  Memorial  Prize  for  verse  in  his  Junior  year  and  in  Senior  year  won 
the  Browning  Society  prize  for  undergraduate  verse. 

The  "College  Weekly"  was  founded  some  six  years  ago  and  for  ^ix  years  it  stood  still.  Then  in  1914-15  Van 
Hollen  was  elected  and  the  "Weekly"  had  a  new  birth.  It  was  re-christened  the  "Haverford  News."  Four  and  a  half 
columns  of  news  were  added  by  reducing  the  print.  its  whole  appearance  became  more  neat.  Every  activity  in  college 
has  been  adequately  covered  and  its  editorial  oolicy  has  been  for  the  best  interests  of  Haverford  and  has  been  con- 
structive. We  now  get  "All  the  News.  All  ihe  Time,  on  Time."  Mathematically  speaking. 
Van    Hollen  -j-  the    "Weekly"  =  "Ths    Haverford     News."

HAVERFORD    COLLEGE 


The  Musical  Clubs 


N  LAST  Class  Day,  when  we  saw  the  Seniors  smuggling  the  Glee  Club  in  to  lend  harmony  to  what  was 
termed  on  the  program  "Singing  on  the  Steps  by  the  Class,"  we  realized  the  pride  which  a  musical  class 
should   feel — and,  beyond  doubt,    1915   is  such  a  class. 

In  Freshman  year,  L.  P.  Crosman,  Allen,  Leiand  and  Falconer  survived  the  strenuous  "weeding-out"  of 
the  Glee  Club  Trials;  while  Brinton,  Crosman,  Howson  and  Shaffer  made  good  in  the  Mandolin  Club.  Egolf, 
according  to  the  vagaries  of  the  artistic  temperament,  was  a  member  at  times  and  at  times  was  not — but  when  he  was, 
the  critics  held  that  he  was  as  good  as  even  the  great  Bob  Locke.  During  this  year,  the  first  step  toward  resuming  entente 
cordiale  with   Swarthmore   was  taken   in   a  joint   concert   at   which  our   hostile  allies  were,  by  common  consent,   routed. 

The  following  year,  Hendricks  and  Taylor  also  added  to  our  prestige  in  the  Glee  Club  and  Allen  became  an  integral 
part  of  both  clubs.  The  posters  for  our  concert  at  Lehigh  were  entitled  "Music  Test"  and  the  Haverford  aggregation 
earned  an  "A." 

In  Junior  year,  Helveston,  Shaffer  and  Vail  joined  the  already  large  representation  from  1915  in  the  Glee  Club, 
which  Allen  led,  and  Turner  made  the  Mandolin.  The  Atlantic  City  and  Merchantville  trips  proved  more  than  enough 
amusement  to  compensate  for  the  long  evenings  of  practice. 

Our  Senior  year  saw  the  addition  of  Baird  and  McCracken  to  the  Glee  Club.  Taylor  and  Howson  were  the 
leaders  of  the  Glee  and  Mandolin  Clubs  respectively  and  probably  never  before  had  the  Haverford  musical  clubs  reach"  ' 
such  a  high  pitch  of  efficiency.  College  interest  has  been  strong  and  the  enthusiastic  rivalry  which  characterized  the  tria'- 
for  places  argues  continued  excellence  in   future  years.

^ 


HE  Class  of  1915  has  contributed  more  memljers  to  the  Capj  and  Bells  Club  than  any  other  class  since  the 
club  started.  During  our  hieshman  year  the  club  gave  two  perforrriances,  "The  Dark  Lady  of  the  Sonnets" 
and  "Le  Medecin  Malgrr  Lui"  in  which  W.  H.  Leland  and  L.  P.  Crosman  took  parts.  Both  were  elected 
at  the  Annual  Meeting  that  year,  and  the  latter  wa:,  made  Assistant  Treasurer  and  continued  in  that  office 
for  three  years. 

In  Sophomore  year  "The  Importance  of  Being  Earnest"  was  given  and  we  were  represented  by  the  two  men  of 
Freshman  year  and  also  by  P.  C.  Hendricks.  Hendricks,  Samuel  Wagner,  Jr.,  and  P.  R.  Allen  were  elected  during  this 
year. 

"Engaged"  was  the  play  given  by  the  Club  on  our  Junior  Night.  Leland  was  the  only  Junior  in  the  cast.  Leland 
and  Crosman  took  leading  parts  in  a  musical  parody  on  a  scene  from  "Romeo  and  Juliet"  written  by  G.  C.  Theis,  '15. 
During  both  Junior  and  Senior  years,  N.  B.  Coleman  showed  ability  as  a  manager  and  Wagner  was  active  in  genera! 
club  work.  M.  H.  Weikel  wrote  a  play  of  merit  and  was  elected  to  the  club  with  H.  A.  Howson,  and  K.  P.  A. 
Taylor. 

We  were  all  too  busy  to  take  part  in  the  dramatics  of  Senior  year  but  the  class  was  very  active  in  other  branches  of 
work   for  the  club   and   Hendricks  was  made  Vice   F'resident.

Athletics 


HANKS   to   the  coaching  of   "Mike"    Bennett,    our    light,    inexperienced    football 
team   was  pounded   into   a  well-trained    unit.      The    schedule   was    not    easy    and 
I  we  met  defeat  three  times  out  of  eight,  but  the  great  game  with  the  Swarthmorons, 

L  though  a  bitter  disappointment,  was   not    a   defeat.      The   scores:    Haverford   vs. 

Washington,   9-0;   N.   Y.   U.,   7-13;  Stevens,   38-0;   F.  &  M.,  0-14;   Hopkins, 
Swarthmore,    3-3.      In  the  class  series   the  Soph-Fresh  game  was  not  played  and   191) 
won  the  Wogglebug  Championship. 

The  gym  team  met  with  considerable  success  under  Captain  Taylor's  leadership.  Th- 
scores  ran  as  follows:  Haverford  vs.  Annapolis,  10-44;  Columbia,  37-17;  N.  Y.  U.,  33-21  ; 
Penn,   22-32.      Taylor,   Bowman  and  Votaw    were  the  contributions  from  our  class. 

In  soccer  it  seemed  to  be  as  unfortunate  a  year  for  us  as  it  was  an  exceptionally  good 
year  for  the  other  colleges.  Captain  Van  Hollen's  men  scored  as  follows:  Haverford  vs. 
Princeton,  I -I;  Cornell,  0-3;  Columbia,  0-4;  Harvard.  0-1;  Penn,  0-3;  Yale.  2-0.  In 
the  class  series.    1915  won  the  championship. 

During  the  winter,  Swarthmore  made  the  mistake  of  challenging  us  to  a  swimming  meet. 
Our  team,  hastily  made  up  for  the  occasion,  met  them  in  their  own  pool  and  crawled  to 
victory,  31-22. 

Captain  Hallett  called  out  his  track  men  early  in  the  Spring  and  he  and  Jack  Keough 
prophesy    that    Swarthmore   will    receive   a    more  thorough   defeat  than   that  of  two  years  ago 

The  cricket  team,  profit  no  by  their  expericr.ces  on  the  other  side,  promises  to  be  a 
record-breaker  and  Captain  Brinton  and  Manager  Taylor  have  arranged  a  "Cricket  Week" 
to  follow  the  close  of  college. 

For  the  first  time,  baseball  has  been  put  on  an  organized  footing,  a  club  has  been 
formed,   of  wh'ch    Farr   was  elected   President,    and  a  series  of  games  arranged.

NLY  when  the  good  ship  "Minnehaha"  had  dropped  her  pilot  and  the  shores  of  America  were  fading  in 
7"^^^  the  distance  did  the  boys  reahze  that  the  great  trip  was  really  on.  Some  of  the  more  progressive  spirits  had 
I  )  already  spotted  some  other  passengers  who  they  thought  could  help  in  passing  the  nine  days  which  must 
\^  Jy  elapse  before  England  was  reached  and  before  the  setting  of  the  sun  on  the  first  day  we  were  able  to  introduce 
the  rest  of  the  crowd.  (Too  great  thanks  cannot  be  given  to  Dr.  and  Mrs.  Barrett  in  this  connection.)  TTie 
next  day  was  largely  spent  in  getting  acclimated  and  the  morning  practice  on  the  forward  deck,  the  regular  deck  sports, 
and  other  sports  were  in  full  swing.  The  College  representatives  "cleaned  up"  in  most  of  the  deck  sports  in  the  two-day 
tournament.  After  dinner  each  evening  the  crowd  gathered  for  a  little  singing  and  such  paraphrases  as:  "Here's  to 
Captain  Claret  in  the  Minnehaha  Garret,"  we  amused  the  other  passengers  as  well  as  ourselves.  On  several  evenings  the 
moonlight  proved  too  much  for  one  or  two  and  Mr.  Cope  was  much  worried  by  their  absence.  There  was  no  sickness 
though   Coleman   and  Will  Webb  almost  succeeded  in  kidding  each  other  into  that  state. 

There  were  many  amusing  episodes  in  our  travels  through  England — the  chief  of  whicli  being  a  certain  occasion 
when  one  of  our  members  forgot  his  chemise  de  nuit.  He  was  somewhat  flustered  on  having  tea  served  at  seven  the  next 
morning.  The  "King's  Arms"  Hotel  could  relate  a  thrilling  tale  of  discovery  and  escape  which  would  read  like  a 
romance.  After  our  victory  at  Eton,  Mr.  Cope  created  no  little  amusement  by  throwing  his  hat  far  out  in  the  field 
and  then,  entering  the  pavilion,  was  seen  to  shake  his  fist  at  a  picture  of  one  of  their  venerable  cricketers  and  mutter: 
"I  have  been  waiting  twenty  years  for  this!"  Christy,  with  his  never- 
failing  good  nature  and  his  parties,  was  beloved  by  all,  both  masculine 
and  feminine,  and  he  just  about  owned  the  taxi-cab  business  while  we 
were  in  London.  Undoubtedly  we  should  have  won  more  matches 
but  on  looking  backward  we  have  nothing  to  regret  and  much  of  which 
to   be    proud. 

In  closing,  let  me  thank  once  more  those  two  gentlemen  who 
managed  our  trip  so  wisely  and  well  and  who  made  it  possible  for 
us  to  enjoy  a  summer  which  we  shall  never  forget.

De-de-de-daa-daa,  daa-de-de-de,  daa-de-de !  It's  "Parson"  at  the  wireless  again.  He  must  be  trying  to  relieve  his 
feeHngs  after  a  "chicken  rag"  at  Overbrook  or  with  one  of  Mother  Carey's  brood.  He  always  needs  relief  after  the 
awful  time  he  has  trying  to  keep  conversation  flowing  as  he  rocks  from  side  to  side  in  mental  anguish.  The  spark  has 
stopped  now  and  he  is  gazing  out  the  window  with  a  far-away  look.  Fair  Harold's  angular  linger  is  now  pointing  out 
a  circular  object  in  the  wondrous  array  of  electrical  contraptions  on  the  table  and  window-sill — "What's  that  for?"  P. 
R.'s  hands  now   come   into   action   and  while   they   are   making  uncertain  hyperbolas,   his  voice  makes  an  accompaniment — 

"That's  the  thing  to  sorter  make 
this  thing  go."  Apparently  un- 
derstanding himself,  he  ambles 
to  the  victrola  and  starts  "Cohan 
on  the  Telephone."  Pretty  soon 
he  becomes  dissatisfied  with  the 
way  it  IS  running  and  while  the 
machine  is  being  operated  ufxjn 
a  monologue  ensues.  "Gee,  the 
governor  thingumabob's  crooked

morrow— shop — say,  that  lathe 
never  will  get  done — um,  um — 
say,  isn't  Howson  funny  at  Man-

of  things  to  be  done — um,  (ob- 
serving the  shadow  of  his  chin 
on  the  desk) — say,  let's  take  a 
shave.  "  Here  we  hear  the  call 
—"Oh,  Allen!"  "Shoot  it,  I 
bet  that's  Doc  Babbitt  wanting 
me  to  drive  his  car  to  Westtown 
again."  Sure  enough,  it's  Jim-

trician,  singer   and   Prestonite.

DONALD  GALBRAITH  BAIRD 


"Don" 


Don  came  South  from  Lehigh  University  with  the  birds  at  the  beginning 
of  our  Senior  year.  Seeing  Haverford  and  recognizing  congenial  spirits,  h*- 
discontinued  his  southward  flight  and  has  sung  amongst  us  all  the  year.  Where- 
fore we  are  glad. 

Dr.  Spiers  predicted  an  unprecedented  success  for  the  Glee  Club  as  soon 
as  Donald  tried  out  for  the  same.  It  was  in  no  slight  measure  owing  to  Baird 
that  his  prophecy  was  fulfilled.  Not  only  can  Don  sing  in  many  tongues,  he 
can  also  eat  in  them.  For  a  while  he  ate  his  meals  in  Italian.  Then  the 
French  table  was  started.  He  has  been  eating  in  French  ever  since.  It  is 
true  that  for  a  week  he  looked  somewhat  emaciated,  but  his  health  soon  picked 
up — with   his   French. 

In  the  early  Fall,  this  one  and  that  asked,  "What  is  Baird  like?"  And 
this  one  and  that  was  answered,  "He  is  a  gentleman,  has  read  much  in  books, 
and  what  with  his  singing  and  his  company  we  are  well  pleased  with  him.  Go 
thou  and  get  to  know  him."

EDGAR  MILTON  BOWMAN 


"Be 


Few  of  us  can  forget  our  first  introduction  to  Bowie.  On  one  of  the  very  earliest  evenings  of  our  collegiate  career, 
when  we — WE — attired  as  September  Morn,  faced  the  derisive  howls  of  the  Freshman  Entertainment,  Bow  was  the  per- 
sonification of  Tyranny.  Armed  with  a  dirty  cloth  and  a  pail  of  water  he  exer- 
cised a  loo  enthusiastic  censorship  over  our  smiles.  Whisper  it,  friends — but 
"L.  G."  once  was  fresh.  Inconceivable  as  it  may  seem,  his  solicitous  comrades 
have  more  than  once  ridden  him  on  a  pole.  "Aw,  fellers,  these  are  my  best 
clothes."  Let  us  omit  his  hasty  words  of  wrath  as  he  brought  that  same  pole 
down  upon  the  head  of  Weikel. 

We  think  of  Bow  particularly  as  a  student.  What  a  figure  he  used  to  make 
in  Phil.  I. — one  foot  on  the  chair  in  front  of  him,  chest  thrown  out,  hands  folded 
Napoleon-fashion  behind  him,  as  he  gave,  word  for  word,  all  that  James  knew 
about  the  "fringe."  Prizes  were  as  meat  and  drink  to  him — Bib.  Lit.,  Math, 
and  the  Garrett  contributed  to  his  library — and  as  we  go  to  press  he  is  not  done 
yet — ipse  dixit.  In  Freshman  year  the  denizens  of  third  floor  South  would  listen 
breathlessly  to  his  heavy  tread  as  he  strode  down  the  corridor  toward  breakfast 
and  then  would  rush  to  his  room  and  copy  his  math  problems.      Many  thanks.  Bow. 

Bowie  is  the  most  popular  fellow  in  the  class — with  the  faculty.  When  a 
professor  says,  "TTiat  will  do  for  today,"  he  immediately  looks  at  Bow — for 
Edgar  invariably  rolls  up  to  give  teacher  an  apple  or  shyly  ask  a  question.  Louis 
delivers  Bow's  mail  in  Spitzie's  room,  for  our  embryo  professor  of  Romance 
Languages  is  as  much  a  fixture  there  as  the  familiar  and  disordered  round  table. 
Thanks  to  the  appreciation  he  receives  from  the  powers  that  be,  he  will  return  next 
year — to  be  a  sturdy  monument  to  1915  and  a  joy  to  the  heart  of  his  beloved 
preceptor.

WALTER  CARROLL  BRINTON  "Keedle" 

A  precious  heritage   from  Westtown,  Keedle  appeared  among  us  smilmg  and  revealing  his  gold  band.      The  gold  band, 
with  the  aid  of  six  classmates  and  a  tooth-brush,  was  eliminated  early  in  the  game,  but  the  smile  still  has  all  the  magnetism 

which  has  made  Keedle  one  of  the  best-liked  men  in  the  class. 

As  politician,  Keedle  has  ever  been  the  level-headed  spokesman  of  the  North 
Barclay  coterie.  His  conscientious  scruples  against  the  destruction  of  the  Fresh- 
man cake  were  our  mystery  and  our  admiration.  The  melancholy  ease  with  which 
he  garnered  cricket  laurels  has  placed  Keedle  on  the  pinnacle  of  fame.  Who  of 
us  will  not  cherish  the  vision  of  Keedle's  flat-footed  delivery,  and  who  of  us  so 
unfortunate  as  not  to  have  heard  the  ghastly  rattle  of  the  stumps  behind  us  and 
seen   Keedle's  kindly    face  before? 

Some  of  us  may  lament  his  phlegmatic  indifference  to  politics,  baseball  and 
Phil,  v.,  and  some  there  are  who  have  marveled  that  twenty-four  hour  toothache? 
have  cast  a  pall  over  a  brilliant  young  mind,  but  those  of  us  who  are  privileged 
to  know  the  Keedle  of  fireside  oratory,  musical  club  dances,  and  college  spirit — 
well,  tve  know!

This  scion  of  Southern  aristocracy,  along  with  John,  claims 
to  be  a  bred  in  the  bone  Haverfordian ;  along  with  Gummere, 
he  constitutes  another  excuse  for  our  existence.  He  is  tall,  broad- 
shouldered  and  debonair,  affecting  a  distinguished  walk  not  unlike 
the  walk  of  the  Dodo — its  chief  advantage  consists  in  getting  its 
user  over  the  ground  with  the  least  amount  of  effort.  Chetty 
early  showed  that  he  was  of  the  stuff  of  cavaliers  and  many  are 
the  fair  hearts  that  have  fallen  prey  to  his  melodious  neck  haber- 
dashery and  that  warm  Southern  drawl — which,  when  it  burst 
into  song,  was  absolutely  captivating. 

Chetty  is  of  the  old  school,  generous  to  a  fault  and  with  a 
sense  of  personal  honor  and  self-respect  which  he  has  in  no  way 
tarnished  while  at  college.  Who  will  ever  forget  Cheston  wob- 
bling into  class,  minus  socks,  shave  and  soap,  but  with  it  all  a 
serenity  and  calm  unruffled  by  things  mundane?  Gentlemen 
fhould  have  valets.  Chetty  and  the  faculty  are  on  easy  terms. 
With  the  President  he  has  had  a  long  controversy  as  to  the 
merits  and  demerits  of  the  cigarette.  Chetty  was  for  the  cigar- 
ette and  has  practised  what  he  preached.  The  controversy  ended 
in  smoke.  With  his  Uncle  Allen  Chetty  quaffs  a  friendly  cigar 
but  has  thus  far  failed  to  interest  him  in  either  auction  bridge 
or  poker.  Chetty's  great  opportunity  for  winning  the  favors  of 
his  Aunt  were  lost  when  he  failed  to  pay  his  respects  to  her  at 
the  Bryn  Mawr  deanery  on  Class  Banquet  night.  We  all  much 
regret  this — except  Chetty. 

Chetty  is  quite  a  lion  when  aroused  and  we  will  not  forget 
his  captaincy  of  the  Wogglebug  football  team  and  his  playing 
in  class  soccer  games.

When  Coley  reaches  Heaven  old  Gabriel  will  have  to  hump  some  to  keep  his  job,   for  when  it  comes  to  noise-making

when  il  comes  to  kidding,  Coley  can  guarantee  all 
degrees  of  misery  from  Job  to  Lazarus.  TTie 
biblical   simile  ends  at  that. 

Having  disposed  of  a  very  prominent  part  of 
Coley,  we  will  now  describe  some  much  more  im- 
portant parts.  Coley  is  a  whole-hearted,  good- 
natured  big  boy  who  wouldn't  harm  a  fly  (espe- 
cially since  he  could  make  any  self-respecting  fly 
much  more  miserable  by  some  such  remark  as — 
"Say,  Cull,  where  was  you  dragged  up?  ')  But 
the  worst  is  that  he  can  make  himself  quite  agree- 
able. Coley  has  also  one  violent  prejudice — 
against  all  Englishmen.  He  even  went  so  far  as 
to  refuse  to  bat  against  them  in  the  recent  cricket 
trip  to  England.  Yes,  he's  quite  an  athlete — he 
was  on  both  the  Varsity  soccer  and  cricket  teams. 

Coley's  magnificent  voice  and  handsome  ptT- 
sonality  won  for  him  the  position  of  Cheer  Leader 
In  Senior  year,  while  his  hard  headed  business 
methods  ran  the  musical  clubs  with  credit  both 
to  him  and  to  the  college. 

Now  that  we  understand  Coley,  we  see  under 
all  his  actions  a  frankness  and  honesty  which  is  a 
rarity  in  our  sophisticated  college  life.  His  supera- 
bundance of  energy  has  found  its  proper  channels 
and  we  no  longer  wonder  at  the  metamorphosis 
of  the  boy  from  Scranton  to  quite  a  "perfect  gen- 
tleman"— from  Haverford.

The  first  of  an  illustrious  line  of  round-headed  Crosmans

cousin  of — but  there,   recognition  is  sought  by  neither. 

The  progress  of  years  has  left  our  Eddie's  countenance 
undimmed  by  worldly  cares.  In  the  throes  of  recent  events  he 
showed  himself  to  possess  the  same  genial  philosophy  which  in 
Freshman  year  brought  him  wealth  as  a  "Barking  Dog"  agent, 
and  the  wrath  of  the  Dean  as  an  Epicurean  over-cutter.  Eddie's 
watchful  waiting  behind  the  stumps  has  resulted  in  disaster  for 
more  than  one  ambitious  batsman,  while  his  treatment  of  English 
bowling  is  said  to  have  been  disrespectful  to  a  degree. 

As  football  manager,  Eddie  was  the  first  to  operate  on  an

the  departure  of  Karl  put  a  crimp  in  his  understanding  of  Me-

LORING  PICKERING  CROSMAN 


"Sa 


Saco  is  a  distinclly  moral  man — as  Heaven  goes.  There  are  other  moral  men — as  the  world  goes.  Loring  is  like 
one  of  the  great  watersheds  of  Psychology,  oi  Ethics  class.  On  one  side  of  him  are  "the  booze-fighters,"  the  dancers, 
the  card-players,  the  light  and   frivolous.      On  the  other  side  are  the  Christians.      Saco  is  in  Maine. 

Entirely  unencumbered  with  any  debilitating  or  disturbing  habits,  with  his  principles  already  well-defined,  and  little 
of  the  "cussedness"  of  human  frailty  to  deter  him,  Saco  has  taken  part  in  a  tremendous  amount  of  activity  at  Haverford. 
His  cold-headed  business  ability  won  him  a  place  on  the  managerial  staff  of  the  "Haverfordian,"  his  executive  ability  placed 

him  in  the  controllmg  councils  of  nearly  every  college  activity.  His 
histrionic  talent  made  him  a  mainstay  of  the  "Cap  and  Bells."  His 
moral  worth  and  his  power  as  an  executive  put  into  his  hands  the 
destiny  of  the  Y.  M.  C.  A. 

The  undeviating  nature  of  his  progress  toward  glory  has  been 
a  "bone  in  the  craw"  to  many  poor  sinners.  He  had  l)een  so  out- 
rageously good  that  it  didn't  seem  right.  So  we  thought  until  he 
went  to  Atlantic  City  with  the  Glee  Club.  His  brazen  incursion 
into  an  unsuspecting  lady's  room,  under  the  cloak  of  a  pretended 
mistake,  opened  our  eyes.  We  saw  at  last  how  he  had  succeeded 
in  living  amongst  us.  Mr.  Hyde  had  shown  up,  and  Dr.  Jekyll's 
abstinence  from  wickedness  had  been  explamed.  He  is  now  trying 
to  win  back  his  reputation.  He  has  even  ceased  to  brood  over  the 
awful  hoax  he  played  upon  the  college  when  he  invited  it  to  hear 
his  friend  Mr.  Sunday,  and  then  turned  all  the  promised  seats  over 
to  a  bevy  of  other  friends  from  Bryn  Mawr. 

We  all  admire  Saco  m  spite  of  our  chaff,  and  admit  without  a 
quaver  that  he  "means  right."

"Dixie,"  "Professional  Southerner.' 


Our  last  Vice  President   is  a  very  quiet  and  retiring  sort    of    individual.      But    then    the    hardest    thing    to    find    is    a 
diamond.      He  who  climbs  to  the  roomy  eyrie  where  Dixie  sits  amidst  the  clouds  of  Whip's  tobacco  smoke  will  find  he  is 

amply  repaid  for  the  toil  of  the  ascent.  Dixie  will  talk  about 
snakes  if  he  is  asked,  but  lie  has  other  interests.  With  Felix, 
Whipple,  and  three  or  four  more,  he  had  "read  more  than  any  one 
else  in  the  class"  when  he  came  to  Haverford.  He  remembers  some 
of  his  reading   and  can  talk  as  a  cultured  Southerner  should. 

With  Morris,  Oscar  Wilde,  and  A.  E.  Housman,  Dixie  has 
left  a  record  of  his  sojourn  in  metrical  expression.  Can  the  world 
forget  his  readiness  to  go  "Hell's  whole  hot  length  away"  for  a 
pair  of  "gray  eyes"  in  Sophomore  year?  And  what  obscure  mortal 
has  not  thrilled  to  the  "Ballade  of  One  Way" — that  of  a  "maid 
with  a  man"?  Emmett's  middle  name  is  Reid.  With  the  pro- 
fessor of  that  name  he  has  managed  to  keep  the  mathematical  course 
in  a  fair  state  of  efficiency.  Under  the  disguise  of  a  "teaching 
fellow,"  Dixie  will  continue  to  apply  his  efforts  in  this  direction 
after  we,  as  a  class,  have  departed. 

The  Scientific  Society  owes  much  to  Dixie's  acquaintance  with 
the  tempter  of  Eve.  The  snake  has  imparted  some  of  its  wisdom 
concerning  things  biological  to  the  Southerner,  and  every  week  from 
his  seat  in  the  dining-room  he  arises  to  announce  that  the  society  is 
still  in  existence  and  holding  its  meetings. 

Dixie  plays  tennis.  It  is  not  as  an  athlete,  however,  but  as  an 
educated  gentleman  that  we  leave  him  at  Haverford  to  represent 
our  class.

If  the  career  of  any  one  of  us  has  resembled  that 
it  has  been  that  of  the  "Terrible  Dane."      Whether  he 


"Jarl,"  "Egg" 
of  a  comet  in  its  brilliant  and  regardless  course  through  (he  skies, 
is  a  troubadour  or  a  warrior  he  has  never  openly  acknowledged. 
This  much  we  know — he  might  have  been  a  troubador  if  he 
had  not  wished  to  be  a  warrior  and  to  devote  his  energy  to  the 
harassing  of  Dixie  and  to  the  hurling  of  invective.  Tliat  he  did 
not  remain  with  us  long  enough  to  afford  the  spectacle  of  a 
diploma  disdainfully  snatched  from  the  gentle  hand  of  Isaac  is 
a  disappointment.  He  would  have  taken  his  deserts  as  a  "Jarl" 
should. 

The  caustic  comment  of  his  wit  and  the  prolific  product  of 
his  pencil  enriched  Haverford's  only  satirical  magazine.  With 
Turner  he  tried  by  means  of  the  "Scarlet"  to  eliminate  the 
enforced  attendance  at  Thursday  meeting,  so  obnoxious  to  a  free 
soul.  Unfortunately  the  effort  failed  and  the  engine  of  reform 
was  turned  over  to  lower  classmen  for  the  worthier  purpose  of 
reforming  the  habits  of  Freshmen.  His  one  great  blow  for 
religious  freedom  having  been  in  vain,  and  the  restrictions  of 
the  class  room  galling  this  proud  spirit  even  more  than  meeting, 
the  Jarl  looked  abroad  with  eagle  eyes  ujxin  the  world.  Mid- 
way in  Senior  year  he  stood  before  Merion.  A  motorcycle  wa^ 
at  his  feet.  His  eyes  shone  in  demoniac  glee  through  the  glazed 
windows  of  his  goggles.  With  unconscious  ease  he  twiddled 
the  cap  of  his  gasoline  tank,  and  gazed  long  at  the  sky-line  over 
against  Barclay.  With  slow  and  firm  gravity  he  drew  out  hi« 
handkerchief — and  put  it  back.  He  drew  on  his  gloves. 
Sweeping  the  assembled  throng  of  three  with  a  disdainful  glance, 
he  put  one  foot  on  the  pedal  and  spurned  the  ground  with  th^ 
other.  Tlie  machine  moved,  wobbled  and  stood  still.  A  curse 
left  the  Jarl's  curline  lips.  Taking  a  small  instrument  from  his 
pocket  he  knelt  to  his  fellow  demon  of  the  road.  In  three 
minutes  he  remounted.  The  cycle  coughed.  Four  fingers  and 
a  thumb  were  in  close  proximity  to  a  distinguished  nose — and 
the  Jarl  had  gone.  The  throng  of  three  laughed,  shook  their 
heads  and  went  to  dinner.

and  goes  against  Penrose,  John  Barleycorn,  and  other  enemies

Montgomery  County,  with  Champlin,  McCracken,  and  occa- 
sionally President  Sharpless  "also  present,"  during  the  Winter, 
and  his  careful  tending  of  anaemic  nasturtiums  on  his  window- 
sill  in  the  early  Spring,  round  out  the  major  activities  of  the 
Falconer.  His  constant  and  commendable  piloting  of  the 
Civics  Club  amidst  the  deep  waters  of  Socialism,  Woman 
Suffrage,  Social  Work,  et  al.,  has  been  more  his  very  existence 
than  an  activity.  He  has  been  kind  enough  to  share  some  of 
his  vigorous  and  expurgated  English  with  newly  arrived  Ital- 
ians in  the  fens  of  Ardmore,  and  has  been  closely  connected 
with  every  movement  for  the  uplift  of  Haverford  or  of  the 
world  since  he  entered. 

Judging  from  the  fumigant  concerns  of  Cyrus,  we  should 
believe  his  intentions  to  be  world-wide  reform.  But  the 
gentle  life  of  a  country  patriarch  is  the  dominant  desire  of 
our  sturdy  giant-killer.  He  will  be  a  farmer — but  polygamy 
among  the  poultry  may  need  to  be  adjusted — no,  wiped  out ! 
Compromise  is  a  term  of  the  devil's.  Cyrus  will  make  a 
good  farmer.  He  has  the  physical  stamina  required  for  the 
job,  as  well  as  the  moral  strength  to  be  a  patriarch.  To  see 
the  energy  and  fire  with  which  he  plays  soccer  with  five  braces 
on  one  poor  damaged  knee,  is  to  realize  how  subordinate  and 
obedient  the  body  may  be  made.  Cyrus  is  capable  of  ruling 
himself,  as  well  as  of  ruling  the  world.  For  that  reason  do 
we  respect  him,  and  willingly  dub  him  "Cyrus  the  Great."

Harvard.      Ed   is   much   addicted   to   baseball,    golf,   the   National  game,  and  running  for  the  class  presidency.      He  is  the 

co-author  with  Eddie  Crosman  of  that  much-reviewed  hunt- 
ing story,  "The  Majestic  Trail  of  the  Blue  Arrow,"  and  was 
a  great  friend  of  the  Dutchman's,  from  which  combination 
many  new  tales  of  the  Arabian  Nights  emanated.  His  slice 
system  for  driving  is  as  yet  unanalyzable.  He  confesses  to 
the  enjoyment  of  two  cami>meeting  hymns  entitled  "Tlie  Old 
Zinc  Telegraph  Pole"  and  "Mrs.  Adrienne."  Being  the 
possessor  of  the  only  football  "H"  in  our  present  ranks,  we 
are  all  very  proud  of  him.  Ed  engages  actively  in  baseball 
but  has  once  stoop>ed  so  low  in  his  own  estimation  as  to  be 
persuaded  to  play  a  game  of  cricket.  He  stands  in  with 
Rufe  and  out  with  Prexy,  and,  with  Levis,  upholds  the 
honor  of  the  G.   O.   P.   in   Rayner's  History  Symposium. 

He  has  abandoned  his  former  carefree  life  with  the 
coming  of  Senior  year  and,  bowed  down  with  the  respon- 
sibilities of  the  Baseball  Association  and  the  track  manager- 
ship, we  only  catch  fleeting  glimpses  of  a  hard-working  Ed. 
But,  be  it  the  serious  or  gay  Mayor,  we  are  always  glad  to 
have  him  with  us  as  a  friend.  And  in  conclusion  we  must 
sadly  prophesy  for  his  future  occupation  that  of  a  political 
leader  back  in  his  native  swamp.

"Long  Jawn" — Mayor,    Board  of   Trade,   Local  Option  League,  Constabulary,  and   future  Pastor  of  dear  old  Bur-

,,- — -„.^^  smile   with   the   single   intent   of   making   these    four   college   years 

as  bright  as  they  are  generally  reputed  to  be.      To  the  reader  of 
•^^^^^ij^j'Sjl  destinies  Jack  is  an  open  book.      The  zeal  with  which  he  is  seen 

to  divest  himself  of  his  garments  in  favor  of  soccer  garb  while 
sprinting  from  Phil.  V.  to  Lloyd  Hall;  and  the  awful  solemnity 
with  which  he  shattered  the  tradition  of  years  by  lamenting  his

Yet  some  of  us  who  remember  the  sad  condition  of  Jack

minutes  from  Haverford  to  Burlington  on  Friday  afternoons,  his 
partiality  for  "Brook's  Bros.  Best,"  his  abomination  of  phi- 
losophy and  the  sciences,  and  above  all  his  eye  for  the  winsome

George    is   our   sole   exponent   of   red    hair   and   holiness.      He  has  high  ideals  and  lives  up  to  them  and  hop)es  to  clear 
six   feet   this  Spring.      Many  of   us  have  seen  him   as  he  take;  that  little  preliminary  hop  and  slides  over  the  handkerchief, 

arms  and  legs  a-flying.  But  get  up  some  April  morning  at  about 
4  A.  M.  and  go  with  Javi'ge  to  hear  the  birdies  sing.  The  cold 
grey  dawn  is  no  mythological  entity  to  Hallett.  He  hears  "the 
owl  scream  and  the  crickets  cry"  and  the  sleepy  little  sparrows 
waking  up  in  the  bushes.  "Oh.  Hew,"  says  he,  "there's  a 
chippy!"  Honi  soit,  etc.  Yet  he  has  been  known  to  smile  at 
jokes  which  were  dubious  to  say  the  least  and  at  Tang's  first 
party  he  quite  gave  way.  There  is  a  certain  story  about  Theis, 
Hallett,  and  the  Rathskeller  which  is,  alas,  no  more.  But  George 
says  he  only  ate  the  pretzels. 

Tliis  year  George  has  been  running  a  chicken  farm  in  Ard- 
more.  And  many  an  otherwise  staid  person  has  thereby  met 
his  downfall — Whipple's  sad  lapse,  Votaw's  wild  and  pathetic 
attempts,  and  the  discovery  of  Dixie's  long-lost  cousin,  are  all 
to  be  laid  at  Hallett's  door. 

If  only  George  would  go  in  for  Law  instead  of  Math., 
we  should  expect  his  head  to  furnish  one  of  the  "Beacon  Lights

HAROLD  WILLIAM  HELVESTON 


"Hell" 


Here  we  have  the  man  from  Jenkintown — the  only  original  "now  you  see  it  and  now  you  don't."  Here  today  and 
gone  tomorrow.  He  emerges  from  his  primeval  wilderness,  gets  seven  other  devils,  one  of  whom  White  is  which,  and 
,*"--'  retires  into  the  darkness.      Hell  used  to  dream  of  South  America  and  the  little 

senoritas.  He  even  went  so  far  as  to  get  a  letter  of  introduction  to  the  Bishop 
of  Brazil.  But  that  was  before  he  started  selling  things  to  the  unsuspecting 
aborigines  at  Haver  ford.  Now  he  is  firmly  convinced  that  the  "one  every 
second"  proverb  is  as  true  as  ever — and  keeps  his  clock  wound  up.  Argentina 
is  not  even   a  dream  now. 

Hell  is  a  man  with  a  past — he  and  Felix  and  Willow  Grove.  But  Felix 
is  "off  that  stuff"  and  our  lips  are  sealed.  Also  his  marital  relations  are  com- 
plex and  difficult  to  unravel — (I)  Wife  and  residence  in  Jenkintown.  (2) 
The  breakmg-away  period,  bachelor  quarters  in  South  Barclay.  (3)  Liaison 
'._^  with  a  young  blond,  nee  McKmstry.  (4)  Married  to  a  pious  spouse,  Elsie 
Crosman. 

Hell  is  another  of  the  "group,"  as  Doc  Watson  would  say,  who  proved 
that  man  is  not  prone  to  fly  upward  like  the  sparks.  He  and  Volaw  foileci 
each  other  to  their  hearts'  content  at  C.  E. — while  others — "but  that  is  another 
story." 

But  he  is  really  a  horticulturist.  The  prevalent  ditty  about  a  tulip  makes 
him  blush  and  he  is  thoroughly  able  to  explain  even  the  unnoticed  parts  of  the 
Lotos.  The  unfailing  good  humor  with  which  he  drinks  all  the  hot  water  is 
only  one  of  his  many  likeable  traits.  Always  ready  to  meet  smile  with  smile, 
good  humor  with  good  humor.  Hell  (proper)  will  as  soon  freeze  over  as 
Helveston.

TTie  Fountain  of  Youth  has  been  found.  Would  you  see  its

"Hen."  Would  you  know  its  location?  Enter  the  second  door 
on  the  left  of  third  floor  South.  Thither  Paul  wends  his  way, 
jug  in  hand,  every  fourteen  minutes  of  the  day.  "A  stein  on  the

same  Pierian  spring.  "P.  C."  didn't  lose  his  Corp.  till  Rogers 
took  a  swim  in  the  tank.      What  wonder? 

The  Cap  and  Bells  is  his  long  suit.  Behind  the  footlights  he 
shows  the  same  self-possession  that  Turner  displays  in  answering 
a  question  he  knows  nothing  about.  Nor  is  he  satisfied  to  be  our 
collegiate  John  Drew — as  assistant  manager  and  then  manager  he 
guided  that  club  with  a  firm  hand  and  kept  Spitzy  in  (he  way  he 
should   go. 

Hen  is  going  to  be  a  lawyer  and,  if  Govt.  III.  is  any  criterion, 
he  will  be  more  than  a  mere  lawyer.  Some  day,  gentle  reader, 
if  you  stray  from  the  straight  and  narrow,  he  will  glare  at  you 
from  his  lofty  desk  and  snap,  "What's  the  charge,  officer?"  If 
you  want  to  know  anything  about  Blackstone,  ask  Doc  Bolles — and 
he'll  ask  Hendricks. 

Paul  is  one  of  those  rather  frequent  animals  known  as  an 
"omnivorous  reader."  Excepting  tracts  on  "TTie  History  of 
Quakerism,"  the  library  cannot  compare  with  his  room.  "All  the 
latest  magazines"  are  arranged  in  orderly  rows.  If  you  find  a 
"Red  Book  "  under  the  cushion  of  his  chair,  you  mustn't  take 
that — he  hasn't  finished  it ;  but  as  for  those  on  his  table  it  is — 
"Sure!  Help  yourself  and  don't  bother  to  bring  em  back!" 
Beyond  a  doubt  Paul  is  to  be  numbered  among  our  public  bene- 
factors.

THOMAS  HOOPES.  JR. 


"Tom,"  "Hooper' 


Tom  came  into  our  midst  as  Chest  Wester's  representative  to  succeed  Wm.  Yarnall,  the  previous  pride  of  the 
town.      Tom's    fondness    for   his   native   town   may   be   deduced  from  the  way  in  which  he  daily  buries  himself  behind  a  copy 

of  the  "Hometown   Bugle.  " 

There  is  a  saying  that  some  choose  roommates,  some  refuse  room- 
mates and  some  have  roommates  thrust  upon  them.  Tom  was  blessed 
with  Jerry  Hill.  The  furniture  of  the  room  consisted  of  (  I  )  a  three- 
legged  couch,  (2)  a  chair,  (3)  a  table — and  has  since  been  known 
as  "Jerry's  Hell"  from  various  volcanic  eruptions  followed  by  a  crash 
of  glass,  a  long  form  sliding  gracefully  out  of  the  window  and  loping 
off  to  parts  unknown.  The  fact  that  his  "milk  of  human  kindness" 
did  not  sour  is  testimony  to  Tom's  kindly  disposition. 

He  was  one  of  the  small  class  who  were  much  interested  in 
Kelly's  astronomy  in  Sophomore  year  (for  details,  see  Jim  or  Dr.  Wil- 
son). His  favorite  sports  are  golf  and  fan-tan — and  the  perusal  of  an 
exciting  tale  entitled  "Wrapped  in  a  Turkish  Rug."  He  has  shown  a 
firm  determination  through  Senior  year  to  resist  temptation  in  all  forms 
and  was  most  unjustly  entangled  with  the  office  just  before  Easter,  but 
convicted  under  a  rtom  de  plume  (see  "Evening  Bulletin").  Although 
he  is  suspected  of  being  on  the  calling  list  of  the  W.  C.  Normal  School, 
sleuths  have  brought  back  no  other  reports  than  languishing  glances  cast 
from  dormitory  windows  towards  the  driver  of  "the  car." 

However,  Tom  is  a  conscientious  worker  and  a  dependable  one — 
attacking  theses  at  times  with  all  the  vigor  he  bestows  on  a  "Baby 
Dimple."  And  if  in  the  future  you  should  observe  someone  attached 
to  an  old  blue-and-coffee  colored  necktie  you  may  know  that  it  is  Tom 
— or  the  Janitor.

'Sook,"   "Hoob" 


Our  one  public  character — he  has  never  been  known  to  shun  the  limelight  and  the  blaze  of  glory  will  find  him  on  hand 
with  a   fire-extinguisher.      One  of  the  proudest  days  of  his  life  was  when  he  received  the  resolution  of  thanks  from  Engineer- 

mg  III.  "For  hurtmg,  harming  and  wilfully  maltreating  one 
lathe,  one  plane,  and  one  circular  saw."  He  has  been  heard 
to  state  that  the  one  thing  which  marred  his  pleasure  on  that  memor- 
able occasion  was  being  compelled  to  assist  Ike  in  explaining  to  every 
fireman  in  Ardmore  and  Bryn  Mawr  the  wherefore  of  "Why  in 
Hell  ain't  there  no  fire  plugs?"  But  he  had  his  reward — fame  was 
thrust  upon  him  by  all.  Even  the  sainted  Longstreth  made  him  the 
subject  of  an  epigram.  He  was  present  at  the  abortive  gvm  fire  and 
led  the  forlorn  hope  into  the  cellar  of  Barclay  "to  find  where  the 
smoke  was  coming  from."  The  mishap  at  the  fire  near  Haverford 
School,  where  he  made  connections  with  a  large  amount  of  elec- 
tricity by  trying  to  use  the  phone,  is  notorious.  The  Mandolin  Club 
would  have  lost  its  peerless  leader  there,  had  it  not  been  for  Knowl- 
ton,  the  best  pickled  Boy  Scout  in  America. 

Sook  has  not  hid  his  light  under  a  bushel.  He  went  to  Cooper- 
town  in  the  wake  of  the  Bailies  and  Holly  Parker.  His  fond 
and  paternal  management  of  Preston  has  been  much  admired.  It  is 
rumored  that  at  least  two  happy  couples  owe  their  happiness  to  him. 
Hoob  is  a  conscientious  lamb — e.  g.,  the  football  game  when  he 
pursued  the  referee  shouting  "I  did  it,  I  fouled  him!"  It  has  been 
said  that  he  is  so  apologetic  that  he  may  be  conceived  at  the  Pearly 
Gates  saying  to  Pete,  "Sorry,  old  man,  didn't  mean  to  disturb  you 
— I'll  try  the  other  place."  If  you  want  to  see  him  rave,  sav 
"Harlem."  Evidently  it  hits  him  where  he  lives.  But  if  in  trouble 
I  ;^— I              VTiM'  .'  ^°   '°    Howson    and   he   will    lay   everything   aside   and   do   his   best

WILLIAM  HENRY  LELAND  "Count,"   "Harry" 

Whirr!  Whiz!  Zip!  What  was  that  which  flashed  by  at  such  terrific  speed?     TTiat,  my  son,  was  the  Count.     Where 
is  he  going  in  such  a  fearful  hurry?      He  is  going  to  the  bathroom  to  get  a  drink  of  water.     Is  it  because  he  has  not  tasted 

water  in  a  long  while,  or  because  he  craves  water  inordinately? 
No,  my  son,  he  drinks  water  occasionally  as  do  other  mortals.  Why, 
then,  does  he  rush?  My  son,  nobody  knows.  Always  he  hurries, 
always  he  runs,  never  is  he  still.      Some  day  he  may  get  there. 

He  holds  the  rapid  fire  cut  record.  He  will  cut  with  equal  glee 
to  go  to  the  movies.  Grand  Opera  or  the  Gayety,  or  even  to  sit  in  a 
little  game  at  1 0  A.  M.  While  he  consistently  tips  Charlie  (of  the 
old  "Rat")  Vs,  he  practises  economy  by  walkmg  from  Overbrook  at 
least  once  a  week.  A  connoisseur  of  Havana  perfectos,  poultry  and 
ragtime,  he  is  never  seen  without  a  copy  of  Ellen  Key's  third  book  in 
his  hip  pocket — unless  the  pocket  is  otherwise  occupied.  We  all  know 
him  for  his  harmonious  tenor,  and  we  admire  his  faithful  doglike 
worship  of  Dr.  Kelsey — ah,  there  indeed  is  idolatry!  But  my  good- 
ness! you  should  see  him  disguised  as  an  elderly  female!  He  never 
said  so  himself,  but  we  are  morally  certain  that  the  Cap  and  Bells 
would  have   fallen  flat  without  him  in  more  than  one  case. 

Due  perhaps  to  a  sense  of  future  responsibility  or,  sh!  because  of 
that  little  picture  in  the  silver  frame,  he  threw  on  the  brakes  Senior 
year  and — that's  all  right,  calm  yourself,  we're  not  going  to  say  he 
studied  or  anything  foolish  like  that — undertook  the  stupendous  job 
of  engineering  this  Book  through  a  hard  times  year.  And  well  he  did 
his  work.  Guided  by  a  firm  conviction  of  the  ultimate  triumph  of 
Germany  in  the  war,  he  garnered  ads  by  the  bushel,  and  this  book 
which  you  hold  in  your  hands  is  mute  testimony  to  the  Count's  ability 
to  accomplish  anything  he  sets  out  to  do.

"Levi,"  "Megargee' 


In  Freshman  year  Levi  was  like  the  proverbial  "x"  about  which  he  was  so  fond  of  studying — in  fact  he  has  such  a 
liking  for  Math  in  general  and  Prof.  Reid  in  particular  that  he  has  devoted  much  of  his  time  to  this  science.  When  all 
other  recreations  failed,  he  was  one  of  two  who  could  rouse  Jrrry  from  a  lethargy  to  the  state  of  a  raging  inferno.  This 
sport  was  very  popular.     He  was  present  at  the  performance  of  "The  Miracle"  by  a  neighboring  Senior  in  that  year. 

He  possesses  a  very  flexible  face  which  he  uses  to  advantage  in  expressing  his  moods.  One  favorite  view  afforded 
when  arising   from  sleep  has  led  to  his  cognomen  of  "the  Wrath  of  Jahveh."      He  holds  the  class  record  as  the  possessor 

of  the  sloppiest  room  in  college — one  of  the  kind  through  which 
you  must  sap,  mine  and  excavate  to  find  your  way.  He  was  once 
interned  in  the  Infirmary  where  he  sought  to  amuse  himself  by 
throwing  his  crutches  through  the  glass  door!  Watch  Levis  and 
Miss  Hartwig  when  they  meet !  He  still  grieves  over  a  great 
loss  sustained  on  Chestnut  Street  during  Sophomore  year.  Bowie 
knows  something  of  this,  we  are  sure.  He  is  a  voracious  devourer 
of  the  best  literature,  which  he  divides  into  three  classes — (1) 
Current  Modern  Stuff — "Snappy  Stories,"  "Blue  Book,"  "Ginger 
Jar,"  etc.,  (2)  Middle  English  Mu=hy  Stuff — Donne,  Suckling, 
Lovelace,  etc.,  (3)  Great  French  Masters — Musset,  Balzac,  and 
De  Maupassant.  He  also  reads  the  agony  column  in  the 
"Bulletin"  which  leads  us  to  infer  that  he  has  been  blighted  in 
love.  His  vivid  coloring  on  hear:ng  certain  initials  would  confirm 
this,  although  he  is  generally  considered  an  ideal  bachelor.  His 
great  exertions  in  scholastic  duties  have  driven  him  to  dope — and 
his  daily  needs  now  call  for  "three  shots  of  Bromo."  The  high 
grades  which  he  pulls  with  little  exertion  can  only  be  the  results 
of  the  same  brilliant  mind  which  prenared  that  voluminous  Ec. 
report  on  his  future  trade — "Paper — Wall,  Cigarette,  News  and 
Otherwise."

As  Dr.  Pratt  used  to  say  in  Biology  VII.,  "Deus  creavil,  Linneus  dis-

wily  and  delusive  Falconer  and  like  him  he  fell  for  Doc  Watson  w^ith  a  dull 
and  sickening  thud.  But,  with  all  Mac's  debating  powers,  he  has  never  been 
able  to  brmg  himself  to  take  any  side  out  of  contrariness  and  the  joy  of  the 
game.  It  is  not  a  game  with  him,  it  is  deadly  earnest.  Who  but  Mac  would 
go  to  the  Gayety,  the  resort  of  all  sufferers  from  Wellschmerz,  and  on  his 
return  retail  all  the  horrible  details  to  those  assembled  in  Y.  M.  C.  A. 
Save  for  Lonng's  little  josh  at  the  Junior  Banquet,  Mac  is  our  only  Benedict. 
He  is  also  connected  with  Loring  by  the  link  of  the  Glee  Club.  His  songs 
have  delighted  Preston,  Manayunk  and  the  Merion  C.  C.  and  uncorked  the 
vials  of  Edgar's  wrath  at   1  1  :00  P.  M.

know  " — he  knows  it.  Sylvanus  Stall  and  Dr.  Hall  (not  Lyman  Beecher) 
are  twin  pillars  of  hs  library.  And  who  could  forget  Mac  as  Sherlock 
Holmes  when  he  unearth?d  the  great  White  Slave  and  Corrupter  of  Youth 
Plot,  which  was  stalking  abroad  under  the  guise  of  getting  subscriptions  to

on  traps  in  the  college  library,  namely,  •'Traps  for  the  Young,"  by  Anthony 
Comstock. 

But,  all  joking  aside,  we  feel  that  Mac  will  steer  clear  of  traps  himself

"Ma 


The  lost  sheep  who  reads  in  Meeting  realizes  full  well  that  "Long  Jawn"  Gummere  is  shaping  his  steps  to  l>e  a  follower 
of  the  Lord,  but  perhaps  it  is  not  generally  known  that  his  fellow  sufferer  in  Hebrew  A.  is  likewise  an  embryo  divine. 
This  is  because  Mac  is  a  very  quiet  fellow,  and  yet  if  every  man  could  find  as  good  company  v\ithin  his  skin  the  world  would 

set  no  premium  upon  hermits. 

Nevertheless  it  is  not  always  so.  Freshman 
Year  Mac  roomed  in  South.  So  did  "Bo"  How-

town,  etc.,  offer  explanation  for  the  transient  spells 
of  Fenianism  incarnate  which  still  sweep  occasion- 
ally over  Marion  and  the  Union.  When  Mac 
relaxes,  this  temperament  is  better  revealed.  There 
are  strident  shrieks  for  Cy,  together  they  hie  them 
to  the  gym  and  forthwith  engage  in  furious  pugi- 
listic contests.  Both  are  bantams,  but  what  of 
that?  "Little,  but  Oh,  My!"  said  somebody  of 
Napoleon.  Moreover,  who  in  '  I  5  will  ever  forget 
the  role  Mac  played  in  our  Junior  Cricket  and 
Senior  Soccer  games. 

TTiere  is  a  pretty  creek  called  the  Wissa- 
hickon,  and  there  is  a  canoe  on  it  of  wtiich  Mac 
is  part  owner,  and  that  he  is  the  proud  possessor  of 
a  tenor  voice  all  Merion  can  attest,  and  on  soft 
May  evenings  the  Hebrew  Grammar  and  the 
Platonic  Dialogues  mourn  undisturbed  seclusion 
and — but  why  continue?  "On  such  a  night"  do 
all  roads  lead  to  roam.  Besides  Mac  keeps  it  more 
or  less  secret. 

Indeed  in  our  class  there  is  no  man  held  in 
greater  esteem;  more  uniformly  resf>ected.  Con- 
scientious as  El  wood  recording  cuts;  thorough  as  the  Count  on  an  amateur  Vice  Commission;  steadfast  as  Megarge  in 
Freshman  Math;  refined  as  Tobe  when  dining  with  the  President. — all  these  attributes  and  many  more  belong  to  Mac.  A 
true  scholar  and  a  gentleman.

EDWIN  LAWTON  MOORE 


"Cap,"  "Fungo' 


"Well,  Lawton,  how  are  the  guinea  pigs?"  This  Priapus  of  (he  Bug.  Lab.  is  our  one  and  only  hairy  Ainu.  Tobe 
got  homesick  when  he  first  saw  him.  Lawton's  activities  are  many  and  they  cover  a  wide  range.  "I  make  such  a  motion," 
or  "Seven  No-Trumps."     This  is  only  a  bare  idea.     Shall  we  speak  of  his  Senior  mustache,  the  despair  of  Shaffer,  or  of 

the  time  when  Dr.  Pratt  nearly  had  him  arrested  for  stealing  the 
Bug.  Lab.  Library,  or  of  his  guinea  pigs  which  initiated  many  of  us 
into  the  mysteries  of  life  and  death?  Achilles,  Ethel,  Hector,  and 
Valeska — those  grand  old  names  are  but  memories  now,  having 
served  to  point  one  of  Babbitt's  lectures  or  adorn  an  innoculation 
cage  in  the  Chem.  Lab.  basement.  After  the  guinea  pigs,  Moore 
went  bugs — "47  bottles  a-hanging  on  the  wall."  But  all  these  are 
mere  trifles.  Moore  loves  the  cows  and  chickens.  The  Plymouth 
rock  IS  not  stern  to  him;  the  Leghorn  never  gores  Lawton;  and  the 
BufI  Orpington  has  never  rebuffed — all  right,  we'll  stop  there. 

But  if  the  guinea  pigs  were  chiefly  noted  for  inaction,  the  bugs 
were  not  thus  but  far  otherwise.  Shaff  announced  to  Moore  that 
he  was  a  grandfather  before  the  astonished  Pal  knew  that  the  first 
generation  had  seen  light.  Lawton  has  fallen  under  the  spell  of  the 
Babbitt  and  th.e  long  afternoons  of  Biology  V.  Lab.  have  been 
enlivened  by  graphic  descriptions  of  James'  lectures.  Only  the 
austere  Klock  has  refused  to  succumb  to  the  charm  of  these  Contes.

FELIX  MUSKETT  MORLEY  "Felix" 

On   Monday,   Tuesday,   Wednesday,  Thursday  and   Friday,   Felix  is  a  student.     On  Saturday  he  is  a  literateur.     On 

any  afternoon  of  these  days  he  holds  himself  ready  to  prove  that  he  is  no  "muff"   at   athletics.      On  Sunday  he   "swanks" 

up  a  hit  and  conducts  \.  M.  C.  A.      Then  on  Monday  he  begins  and  does  it  all  over  again.     So  he  manages  to  do  many 

thmgs  m  one  way — the  way  o 


man  who,  know- 
ing what  he  wants,  goes  and  gets  it.  In  this  way 
he  has  held  a  Corporation  scholarship,  and  won 
scholastic  prizes  by  work  of  the  five-day  period; 
has  won  literary  prizes  and  bedecked  the  "Haver- 
fordian"  through  Saturday's  labor;  and  by  the  toil 
of  his  afternoons  has  won  a  place  on  every  class 
team.  He  has  "swanked"  himself  in  the  class 
presidency  and  a  few  other  important  offices 
through  the  ability  which  on  Sunday  enables  him 
to  ease  the  Y.  M.  C.  A.  through  the  wide  seas  of 
the  spirit.  So  much  for  the  solid  basis  of  the  man 
with  the  "inimitable"  style. 

Felix  had  a  love  affair  last  February.  A 
tramp  steamer  sailed  up  the  Delaware  when  he  was 
riding  back  and  forth  on  the  Camden  ferry,  to 
be  near  the  water.  He  raved  and  languished 
alternately  until  he  found  a  way  of  easing  his  mind 
by  sailing  chips  in  Darby  Creek,  and  quoting  W. 
W.    Jacobs. 

For  one  who  knows  him,  Felix  furnishes 
an  inexhaustible  and  delightful  subject 
on  which  to  write.  But  we  will  suspend  the  dis- 
cussion till  he  IS  writen  up  in  the  "Bookman"  or 
elsewhere.  He  is  starting  on  a  promising  career, 
and  so  far  has  only  received  one  reiection  slip — 
and  that  was  from  the  "Atlantic  Monthly,"  so 
what  would  you?  By  winning  the  Browning 
Society  Prize,  Felix  has  justified  our  prophecies.

"Yo,"  "Tobe- 


The  misapplication  of  Kipling's  slogan,  "East  is  East  and   West   is   West"    is    one   of   Tobe's    grievances    when   in   a 
world-wide  mood.      Yet,   were  the  dictum  applied   to  two   hemispheres,   and  not  to  two  Indian  provinces,  Yo  would  prove 

its  fallacy.     East  and  West  met  a  beautiful  time  in  the  quondam  di- 
rector of  the  Haverfordian. 

The  day  drop[>ed  from  the  calendar  at  180"  W.  Longitude 
should  have  been  preserved  and  used  for  \  o's  birthday.  Oriental 
fantasy  and  Occidental  levity  lap  gently  together  in  the  speech  of 
Tobe — speech  as  liquid  and  beautiful  as  the  Pacific.  Like  the 
Pacific,  too,  Tobe's  speech  is  bitter.  It  is  bitter  with  the  salt  of 
human  wisdom.  It  is  bitter  to  him-  who  would  listen  and  not  go. 
To  start  a  "morning  watch,"  to  aid  the  Belgians,  to  carry  the  mes- 
sage of  Christ  to  foreign  lands,  to  have  a  "cup"  and  pipe  and 
L — s,  — are  some  of  the  termini  of  Yo's  finished  harangues.  To 
Yo's  enthusiasm  we  owe  heightened  appreciation  of  the  world  and 
the  little  gods  that  sit  above.  To  Yo's  despondencies — we  are  not 
admitted. 

To  those  who  think  of  our  "Japanese  school-boy"  in  his 
earlier  days,  "Quips  and  Cranks  and  wanton  Wiles"  are  plastered 
thickly  on  the  horizon  of  his  life,  and  the  envelof)e  of  his  spirit  is 
obscured  with  artificial  devices.  But  four  years'  sojourn  in  an 
observant  class  has  denied  to  our  cosmopolitan  member  the  freedom 
from  discovery  he  sought  for  his  prophetic  soul.  A  freedom  sought 
with  perhaps  a  hint  of  Oriental  impassiveness.  Tobe  has  come 
amongst  us  bringing  message  of  the  mystery  and  wonder  of  the 
East.  May  his  enthusiasm  go  with  him  in  carrying  greetings  and 
good  will  to  old  Japan.

"Monk,"  "Gene" 


That  neither  football  nor  literature  are  held  in  high  esteem  at  Westtown  merely  goes  to  show  that  for  all  men 
handicaps  are  not  obstacles.  It  was  no  common  progress  started  that  first  September  day  when  Gene  blushingly  asked 
"Mr."  Murray  if  he  might  play  football,  running  eight  weeks  later  to  a  triumphant  close  in  the  much  prized  football 
cup.  And  though  neither  Gene  nor  the  Cup  were  again  promment  in  this  sport  the  coincidence  was  nothing  more  than 
natural.  A  bad  knee  accounted  for  the  former.  We  had  said  bad  need  also  explained  the  cup's  demise  were  it  not 
the  onus  of  biographers  to  be  assumed  veracious.  The  other  field  of  endeavor  has  been  more  uniformly  conquered. 
Glance  through  the   four  last  volumes  of  the  Haverfordian, —  for  all  of  ihem  Gene  has  been  a  literary  arbiter — and  mark  the 

evolution  from  the  very  "tenuous"  verse  of  Fresh- 
man year  to  the  amorous  throbs  of  today's  accom- 
plished biblio[>hile. 

He  roomed  with  Felix  then.  Now  they  are

moving  the  college  library  to  Merion.  Miss 
Ineall's  chief  duty  is  tabulating  their  depredations 
with  constant  sheaves  of  notices,  and  if  you  waylay 
William  he  will  gladly  tell  of  "Mistah  Pharo  and 
his  liberry  cards." 

To  the  great  world  Gene  is  often  reticent. 
If  you  would  know  him  better,  droo  around  some 
winter  evening,  and  there  at  graceful  ease  before 
the  dying  embers  you  will  find  your  true

martyrdom  at  Leary's,  Le  Gallienne  and  Oscar 
Wilde  at  hand,  and  best  of  all  a  smile  on  his

Dr.  Pratt's  Cerberus — the  living  proof  that  it  pays  to  advertise —  see  Biological  Seminar  and  Central  High  School 
Club.  Both  of  these  are  products  of  his  fertile  brain.  Of  the  former  he  may  truly  say,  "Le  Seminar,  c'esl  moi."  This 
is  an  evolution  indeed  from  the  days  of  the  great  party  in  the  Center  Barclay  roof  garden.  It  is  said  that  Shaffer  provided  the 
girls,  Coleman  the  noise.  Turner  the  amusement,  and  Bill  Hare  and  company  also  ran.  An  enjoyable  time  was  had.  The 
year  after,  however,  Shafe  went  into  confinement  at  Merion.  The  results  of  this  have  been  quite  apparent.  <I>.  B.  K.,

Also,  Shafe  tickles  the  strings  in  the  Mandolin  Club

MAN    HOI   TANG 


"Musty."    "Man    Hoi' 


This  precise  business  man   from  Canton,   bearing  with  him   all   the   reserve  of  the   Middle   Kingdom    (he   doesn't  even 


remember   the  date  of  his  birthday),   became  one  of  u 


s  alter  a  preliminary  rub-down  in  the  Haverford  nursery.  We  had 
the  first  inklings  of  how  this  Chinese  puzzle  worked  at  the  Sopho- 
more entertainment  in  the  Cricket  pavilion.  There  the  Muse  of 
Song  suddenly  lit  on  Man  Hoi  like  a  dove  and  we  were  treated  to 
a  little  preliminary  speech  in  pidgeon  English,  and  then,  without 
more  ado,  he  opened  up  his  sampan  for  all  she  was  worth.  The 
song  waf  one  in  which  flowed  all  the  aspirations  of  the  Revolution; 
we  agreed  with  I  ang  that  it  was  most  appropriate  for  driving  out 
the  Manchus.  It  was  Dr.  Hancock,  however,  who  discovered  that 
1  ang's  real  purple  patch  lay  in  his  golden  tongue;  we  will  remember 
with  pride  his  eloquent  oration  in  the  annual  Oratorical  Contest.  In 
Soph  yeai  Tang  decided  that  since  he  had  to  be  a  "dam-d  Soph-o- 
more  '  he  might  as  well  take  the  whole  course  and  do  it  up  well, 
so  he  heroically  picked  out  third  floor.  North,  and  resigned  himself 
to  the  tendei  mercies  of  Levis  and  Kling.  These  gentle  tutors  had 
daily  sessions  with  him,  at  the  conclusion  of  which  they  would  play 
a  harmless  little  game.  At  first  Levis  and  Kling  would  play  Bull 
in  the  China  Shop,  then  Man  Hoi  would  take  a  turn  and  represent 
the  'V  oung  China  Movement  at  which  the  first  two  would  see  who 
could  sprint  down  the  hall  the  fastest.  Then  the  whole  hall  would 
play  wedding  and  shy  shoes  in  the  general  direction  of  the  Far 
East. 

"Alas!    for  the  rarity 

Of  Christian  charity 
Under  the  sun!" 
Tang  then  pulled  up  stakes  for  his  Junior  year,  which  he  spent 
in  the  West  and  in  England.  But  to  our  great  joy,  good  old 
Musty  came  back  in  Senior  year  and  quite  won  us  all  by  his  gen- 
tlemanliness,  his  generosity,  and  above  all  by  his  large  stock  of  good 
common  sense.

"Ke 


In  the  gym  one  afternoon  in  Sophomore  year,   Kemp,  working   on   the   bar,    repeatedly    tried   the   "giant"    and    failed. 
He  did  not  clench  his  lists,   grit  his  teeth  and  "register  determination"   as  he  should  according  to  all  dramatic  rules.      He 

laughed — "I  am  going  to  get  that  some  day."  This  was  typical  of 
Kemp  in  the  success  that  crowned  his  efforts  and  the  easy,  good-humored, 
but  none  the  less  efficient,  method  with  which  he  approached  his  goal. 
This  great  little  man  of  massive  shoulders  and  iron  will  has  moved  with 
unflinching  purpose  throughout  his  college  year,  winning  a  pre-eminent 
place  as  an  athlete,  scholar,  executive,  man  of  letters — and  as  a  gentleman. 

Kemp  joined  our  class  during  Sophomore  year  and  roomed  with  the 
occasional  Scary.  He  made  the  Glee  Club,  the  HaverforJian,  and  the 
gym  team.  By  Senior  year  he  was  the  captain  of  the  gym  team  and 
the  Glee  Club  leader;  but  his  most  valuable  work  was  as  a  link  between 
the  alumni  and  the  college,  through  the  medium  of  his  editorship  of  the 
Alumni  Bulletin.  Some  men  can  be  described  by  their  characteristics 
but  Kemp  cannot  be  described  without  mentioning  his  activities  for  he 
is  above  all  a  man  of  action.  Kemp  for  a  time  thought  of  being  a  jour- 
nalist, but  has  rather  chosen  a  medical  career,  for  which  his  thorough 
self-control  and  sound  judgment  decidedly  fit  him. 

We  have  only  one  regret  concerning  Kemp  and  that  is  that  we  did 
not  know  him  better.  But  those  of  us  who  have  gotten  under  the  some- 
what austere  shell  of  this  well-bred  little  superman  have  found  a  generous 
heart  and  a  warm  friend.

CHARLES  BRINKLEY  TURNER 


'Brink' 


Brinlcley  is  like  a  butterfly.  He  has  emerged  from  his  chrysalis  under  the  genial  sun  of  Haverford  days.  Even 
in  his  chrysalis  he  had  a  sort  of  glittering  individuality.  In  the  first  years  an  atmosphere  of  notebooks  full  of  sketches, 
amorous  epithets,  and  pungent  observations,  with  an  occasional  note  (if  the  content  were  humorous  enough)  enveloped 
him  in  the  class  room.  Outside  of  class  he  hid  behind  a  huge  calabash,  and  from  clouds  of  smoke  and  "comical  stuff" 
frankly  didn't  "give  a  damn."  But  he  would  sing  "Ho  Raj  O'Ram"  at  class  festivals  whenever  asked.  Junior  year, 
the  smoke  and   "stuff  "   began  to  clear  away,   and  Senior  year,    as   one   by   one   we   dropped   in   to   see   the   sketches   which 

were   to  adorn  our   "Record,"   we   found  we  were   glad  to   have 

known  him. 


The  only  thing  in  Brink  that  has  not  changed  is  his  satire. 
In  Senior  year  this  stram  of  his  nature,  mingled  with  the  instinct 
for  publicity  that  close  association  with  the  newspaper  world 
has  fostered,  burst  into  full  flower  in  the  "Scarlet."  He  founded 
this  storehouse  of  iconoclastic  wit  in  partnership  with  the  re- 
doubtable "Jarl,"  and  in  a  minute  the  whole  college  was  agog 
with  curiosity.  Many  a  time-honored  institution  rocked  for  a 
moment  on  its  base,  and  then,  winking  one  eye — if  such  a  thing 
be  possible,  sunk  back  agjun  into  an  undisturbed  slumber.  (For 
instance — Thursday   Meeting.) 

In  March,  Felix,  noticing  the  charming  air  of  consecration 
which  had  gradually  enveloped  the  pyerson  of  our  laughing  phi- 
losopher, urged  him  to  relieve  his  system  by  an  address  to  the 
Y.  M.  C.  A.  Brink  assented  like  a  flash.  The  "Round- 
heads" say  he  was  kidding.  The  "Cavaliers"  maintain  he  was 
not.  Brink  is  the  only  one  who  might  enlighten  the  curious, 
and  he  doesn't  know.  If  all  the  best  things  have  humor,  as  the 
best  people  do  (according  to  Rufus),  his  eulogy  of  Spring  and 
of  the  gradually   unfolding  grass-buds  was  of  the  best. 

But  do  not  think  Turner  is  all  laugh  or  smile.  He  can 
really  be  very  serious,  and  with  all  the  qualities  that  make  a 
good  friend  or  a  well-balanced  man  he  is  thoroughly  conversant.

WALTER  ELWOOD  VAIL 


"El,"  "Elwood" 


The   rapt   gravity  of  Socrates,   the  unalterable  wisdom  of    Aristotle,    the    marvelous    sanctity    of    Simon  Stylites,    the 

doubting  quest   for  truth  of  Descartes, — all  seem  enhanced  and  combined  when   we  ponder   the   individuality  of   President 

Vail.      Our  puny   pens  can  no  more  limn  his  virtues  than   Electra    Silicon    can    brighten    the    stars.      He    is.  Little    more 
can  be  said. 

He  came  among  us  Sophomore  year  and  began  by  conquermg 
space  in  the  broad  jump.  Junior  year  he  came  to  our  level  and 
played  Wogglebug.  Such  puerile  pursuits  soon  irked  his  mind. 
In  practice  one  day  he  sacrificed  a  leg  so  that  without  reproach 
he  might  abandon  mere  muscular  effort  and  devote  his  time  to  the 
contemplation  of  the  Good.  This  occupation  was  fruitful.  Chem- 
istry prizes,  and  Corporation  scholarships  were  given  him  by  the 
faculty  in  token  of  his  merit.  We  observed  his  ability  and  brought 
him  from  amongst  the  stars  to  sit  in  the  councils  of  the  Y.  M.  C. 
A.,  to  edit  its  Handbook,  and  to  apply  his  judgment  in  other  ways. 
In  our  class  meetings  Senior  year,  the  confusion  of  a  French  Revo- 
lution was  superseded  by  the  solemnity  of  a  Roman  Forum  when 
he  entered  the  Presidential  chair.  At  the  table  he  made  men  of 
a  group  of  thoughtless  boys.  In  the  Chem.  Lab.  he  made  problems 
seem   as   child's  play   and   solutions   to   be  open  books — to  him. 

But  Elwood  IS  not  all  wisdom,  judgment  and  gravity.  He 
is  a  large  part  appreciation.  One  of  his  friends  found  him  one  day 
raving  about  "harsh  skies"  and  "soft  water"  at  the  Art  Exhibit 
amid  the  sympathetic  suspirations  of  a  luminous  female.  And  who 
that  has  lived  in  .Vlerion  does  not  know  all  about  the  fact  that  "all 
your  hair  is  tangled  gold  upon  your  I-i-r-ish  br-how"  ?  There  is  a 
story  that  one  summer  in  a  small  county  to  the  west,  Elwood  nearly 
lost  his  life  by  drowning,  and  all  because  he  insisted  on  singing 
"John  Anderson,  My  Jo,  John"  while  in  the  act  of  swimming 
under  water.

Avalokitesvara  of  the  Buddhistic  pan'.heon  is  depicted  with  forty  hands  each  of  which  is  a  manifestation  of  her 
varied  powers.  Only  such  a  picture  would  do  justice  to  this  versatile  gentleman.  i  he  only  difference  is  that  Avalo- 
kitesvara IS  always  seated  upon  a  lotus  blnom,  whereas  Don  is  forever  on  the  go.  Goph  escaped  from  the  Quaker  Reform 
School  and  entered  our  class  with  a  ru=h,  armed  with  a  si.\-shooter,  a  Mexican  gambling  outfit,  a  box  of  cigarettes  and 
Roberts'  Rules  of  Order.      He  led  our  class  through  those  stormy  days  of  our  inception;   but   having  honorably   filled   the 

breach,  like  Garibaldi,  he  refused  all  honors  and  retired  to  a  period 
of  living.  He  turned  litterateur,  journalist,  athlete  and  showed  such 
signs  of  executive  ability  that  he  was  soon  loaded  with  responsi- 
bility. But  the  best  of  it  was  that  Goph  never  allowed  his  cares 
to  make  an  old  man  of  him.  Just  to  show  that  he  was  still  young, 
he  would  flunk  an  exam  or  two  (Greek  preferably)  and  go  off  to 
Chinatown   for  a  spree. 

In  Senior  year,  Goph  ran  the  soccer  team,  the  Student  Coun- 
cil, the  A.  A.,  the  tennis  campaign  and  Spalding's  Agency,  so  that 
to  his  other  accomplishments  we  add  that  of  a  Financier.  But  on 
the  whole  his  best  work  was  as  editor  of  the  A'eU's,  which  was 
practically  reborn  in  his  regime.  Goph  is  undoubtedly  a  star. 
But  like  those  sidereal  bodies,  he  moved  alone,  unconsciously  avoid- 
ing contact  with  equal  bodies,  but  gathering  about  him  a  few 
devoted  planets. 

But  the  best  of  Don's  social  conquests  were  reserved  for  fields 
abroad.  To  the  gentler  sex  he  was  most  generous  of  himself. 
How  he  ever  kept  his  cases  in  Maryland,  Philadelphia  and  Bryn 
Mawr  all  going  at  once  and  all  separate,  beats  even  the  Kaiser  in 
adroitness.  But  you  must  remember  that  Don  is  unusually  clear 
headed,  except  when  he  has  dined  in  New  \  ork  and  endeavors 
to  walk  out  to  college  in  the  wee  small  hours.  There  is  a  great 
future  in  store  for  Don;  he  will  succeed  because  he  has  the  brains, 
the  will  and  above  all  because  he  is  human.

"Jonah" 


Jonah  was  cast  up  on  our  shores  by  Westtown.  His  experiences  Biblical 
and  otherwise  should  have  taught  him  to  avoid  the  appearance  of  water,  but  all 
signs  fail  in  dry  time  and  Jonah  abode  by  the  pond  for  four  years.  Like  so  many 
of  Westtown's  best  and  brightest,  his  course  in  these  "low  grounds  of  sorrow" 
has  been  downward.  The  primrose  path  has  seldom  been  trod  by  larger  feet. 
Freshman  year,  Hewlett's  epicene  romance  attracted  his  untutored  eye.  Sopho- 
more year  is  a  blank.  Coincident  with  his  developing  taste  for  riding  he  fared 
further  afield  and  acquired  a  knowing  smile  when  one  spoke  of  Balzac.  In 
Senior  year  came  Y.  M.  C.  A.  and  C.  E. — that  invention  of  the  feminine 
population  of  Ardmore.  Next  the  dancing  around  bug  got  in  its  foul  work 
and  Votaw  got  the  heel  and  toe  disease  and  distracted  his  mind  at  tango  teas. 

We  draw  a  veil  over  this  sad  phase  of  our  hero's  character  and  turn  with 
delight  to  his  appreciative  attitude  in  Phil.  V.,  "the  row  before  the  last."  We 
have  all  seen  his  exhibition  of  bareback  riding,  as  Mme.  Votaw,  the  famous 
equestrienne.  The  reports  of  his  having  applied  to  "Jine  the  Cavalry"  are 
utterly  false.  Jonah  is  a  Friend  and  shows  no  desire  to  step  on  any  one's  neck. 
But  murder  will  out  and  Wogglebug  football  showed  up  an  unexpected  side 
of  his  nature.  At  table  he  assists  in  denouncing  certain  "spineless  inverte- 
brates" who  shall  be  nameless.  We  will  conclude  with  a  few  moments'  silent 
prayer  to  the  effect  that  the  Lord  wnll  continue  to  deliver  Jonah.

'  -       *"  isolate  self. 

Like  Tom.  the  other  delegate  from  West  Chester.  Sam  is  one 
of  our  several  "Class  Babies."  His  extreme  youth  made  him  an 
ideal  Freshman — meek,  unassuming  and  ever  ready  to  sit  in  rapt 
attention  at  the  feet  of  those  mighty  embodiments  of  cynical  ma- 
turity— Bliss  and  Minot.  Like  his  Pythias  he  laid  hold  of  the 
helm  of  the  Cap  and  Bells  where  his  characteristic  geniality  and 
readiness  to  work  made  him  one  to  be  relied  on. 

A  political  reform  wave  carried  him  into  the  position  of  tennis 
manager  and  "Lew"  turned  pale  when  Sam  went  on  the  warpath. 
In  his  consulship,  too.  the  congested  tennis  situation  at  Haverford 
took  on  a  brighter  aspect  and  as  we  go  to  press  it  appears  that  we 
are  to  be  blessed  with  backstops  that  will  stop  and  even  with  more 
courts !  Sam's  bete  noir  is  examinations.  According  to  Hen- 
dricks, he  will  recite  whole  pages  of  the  text-book  as  he  starts  for 
an  exam  but,  as  soon  as  the  detested  red  book  is  handed  to  him. 
everything  evaporates  and  he  begins  to  wonder  when  the  re-examina- 
tion schedule  will  be  posted.  Be  this  as  it  may.  not  even  the 
faculty  would  "judge  a  scholar's  worth"  solely  by  his  marks.      His 

kindliness   has  won   our   affection,    his   good   breeding  our   respect 

why  ask  more?

"Walloon' 


One  wonders  how  the  three  components  of  the  above  ever  got 
connected.  The  Walloon  says  that  after  much  research  he  has  dis- 
covered the  origin  of  "YVO."  It  was  the  title  of  an  English  monk 
in  the  seventh  century.  His  namesake  is  following  in  his  footsteps  in 
more  ways  than  one.  North  House  is  a  case  in  point.  There  are 
hints  of  ulterior  motive  but  no! — we  repel  the  base  insmuation.  Still 
from  North  House  to  Preston  is  a  long  way  to  travel  and  he  must 
have  had  some  one  to  show  him  the  road.  E.  Lawton  has  tales  to 
tell  of  Wain  as  the  protagonist  in  various  encounters  with  the  fair 
sex,  and  we  know  from  personal  experience  that  he  is  the  most 
ticklish  of  men. 

The  choice  between  astronomy  and  itinerant  preaching  is  in- 
deed a  most  difficult  one.  Not  unattractive,  either  of  them — there 
are  the  joys  of  tramping  through  the  country,  the  joy  of  finding 
what  lies  round  the  next  bend  of  the  road.  But  Yvo  will  probably 
handle  the  little  end  of  a  big  telescope  and  get  the  thrill  that  comes 
to  every

One  of  the  trio  of  Graces  who  emerged  from  Guilford  to  brighten  the

Cy  used  to  remark  in  Latin  I — "Ncscio."  However  that  may  be,  Bowie  has 
been  a  Nympholept  since  the  day  when  Webby  first  displayed  his  peg  top 
Irou  and  his  doliar-and-a-half  ($1.30)  cap.  It  took  Web  some  time  to 
get  acclimated.  "I  don't  know  what  to  make  out  of  thisyer  place,"  was  the 
burden  of  his  song.  But  Web  has  found  himself,  us  and  Haverford,  not  to 
mention  Phiiiy,  Woodbury,  and  the  Gayety.  The  night  when  the  gym  nearly 
burned  down,  he  put  on  his  famous  cap,  unrolled  the  chain  and  rope  fire  escape, 
threw  it  out  the  window  and  crawled  alter  it.  Thus  he  made  good  his  escap)e 
from   the  burning  buiidmg. 

Web  can  tell  a  lot  about  sleeping  accommodations  in  Broad  Street  Sta-

a  bad  egg.  He  has  also  been  in  the  waste  places  of  the  earth  and  tells  wild 
tales  of  Paint  Creek  and  Biuefields,  W.  Va.  He  is  one  of  the  few  people 
who  ever  disturbed  Weikel's  composure.  He  did  this  mighty  deed  by  in- 
quiring with  an  innocent  expression,  "Do  you  go  in  town  much?"  And  that 
was  hitting  Weikel  where  he  lives.  We  like  to  think  of  Web  winning  glory

"Mac,"  "Weik" 


Weikel  is  an  acquaintance  of  all  of  us;  many  of  us  feel  that  we  know  him;  but  those  who  know  him  best  wonder 
if  they  know  him  well.  Certain  it  is  that  he  baffled  analysis  for  two  years.  For  that  period  he  seemed  as  strictly 
unimpeachable  as  Hallett ;  his  saintliness  made  Anthony  Comstock  resemble  Gates  at  his  swiftest.  He  blushed  at  the 
mention  of  a  cigarette  and  grew  faint  at  the  dread  word  "beer."  But  even  in  those  distant  days  he  enjoyed  the  milder 
diversions  of  the  rest  of  us — he  was  the  presiding  deity  of  South's  innumerable  "500"  games  and  Chairman  of  the  Com- 
mittee on  Bowman.  In  athletics,  too,  he  has  made  a  place  for  himself — he  has  played  on  every  class  team;  made  the 
Varsity  track  team  in  Junior  year  and  twice  came  out  at  the    top  of  the  heap  in  the  doubles  tournaments. 

In  the  last  two  years  particularly  has  Mac  developed  his  personality.  Not  only  has  an  occasional  cigarette  profaned 
his  lips  but  this  blase  "cotillion  leader"  once  was  seen  smoking  a  clay  pipe!  All  the  hideous  aspects  of  the  famous 
"Episode  of  the  Westtown  Swimming  Pool"  must  remain  shrouded  in  mystery.  One  rule  he  sets  for  himself  above  all 
others — "if  you  don't  know  the  answer  to  a  question,  blufl  it  out  anyhow" — which  he  does  with  an  expression  of  per- 
fect innocence.  Wherefore  the  praenomen  of  "Baron."  But  lately  his  professional  cynicism  has  worn  away  and  his 
admiration  for  U.   P.  has  waned — notably  in  the  football  season  of   1914.      Enthralled  by  his  effervescent  humor,  his  little 

Dutch  roommate  and  familiar  spirit 
forgot  his  books  and  dropped  with 
loud  wails  to  fourth  place.  He  uncov- 
ered a  vein  of  music  and  the  Ca;>  and 
Bells  opened  its  arms  to  him.  Mac 
has  carefully  hid  his  light  and  sat  on 
the  bushel  but  he  has  not  been  able  to 
blind  us  to  his  talents.  We  who 
know — as  Theis  once  put  it — "how 
arbitrary  marks  are" — know  also  that 
there  is  a  measure  of  success  awaiting 
him  even  greater  than  that  which  he 
has  attained  among  us.

PAUL  KIMBALL  WHIPPLE 

On  shining  lights  in  other  classes  Spitzy  has  placed  reliance,  but  Whip  is  the  one  and  only  to  whom  he  avows 
dependency.  "It  would  be,  "Dunn,  traduisez!'"  says  Dixie,  recalling  distant  French  I  days,  "but  always,  'Monsieur 
Whipple,  est-ce  que  vous  liriez,  peut-etre?'  "  Even  L.  G.,  the  sine  qua  non  of  the  Romance  Department,  lives  in  constant 
terror  lest  Whip's  pointed  shafts  should  find  deficiencies  in  his  carefully  nurtured  panoply  of  erudition;  though  this,  of 
course,  does  not  imply  hostility.  Whip  without  Bowie,  as  Elwood  neatly  puts  it.  would  be  as  Johnson  without  Bosweli. 
With   Dixie,    they   make   a   worthy   trio    for   keeping  Haverford  actively  conscious  of  the  lustre  of    1915. 

Speaking  of   "15.   gentle   reader,    reminds   us   that   it   is   to  Whip  we  owe  this  final  expression  of  our  undergraduate  life. 
Minions  have  striven  manfully  indeed,  but  the  incisive  zeal  which  restrains  his  true  Byronic  weariness  of  soul  is  what  accounU 
for    our   small    measure   of   success. 
It    was    a    true    prophet    who    once 
wrote    that    "God    wrought    special 
miracles  by  the  hands  of  Paul.  " 

In  Phil.  V,  Whip  hearkens 
undisturbed  when  Rufe  firmly 
stresses  the  necessity  of  Ideals.  H? 
is  himself  doubly  supplied.  The 
one — but  by  now  this  is  an  accom- 
plished fact — is  to  sp)ort  the  elusive 
<1>  B  K  within  the  ample  recesses  of 
his  bosom.  The  other,  unattain 
able  as  true  ideals  should  be.  is  to 
beat  Mac  Weikel  a  single  set  of 
tennis.  But  these  are  ideals. 
Should  we  not  at  least  touch  upon 
that  completed  aspiration  for  the 
renovation  of  the  Ardmore  C.  E.. 
with  its  deadly  consequences  in  the 
hearts  of  fair  Ardmoriennes? 
Which  naturally  calls  to  mind 
that  classic  phrase: — "DON'T

story  w-e  would  be  tempted  to  reve 


the  origins  of  this  poignant  sentiment,

No,  he's  no  relation  to  William  Allen  and  he  doesn't  come  from  South  Carolina,  either, — you're  thinking  about 
Freddy.  White  stepped  into  the  shoes  of  the  great  Baxter  Richardson.  And  he  has  filled  them — not  that  we  would 
say  anything  about  Alph's  feet.  Perish  the  thought !  He  is  a  careless  soul  and  works  on  impulse  like  a  Ford.  He  is 
a  leading  supporter  of  Philly  shows  and  cannot  be  found  on  Saturday  nights.  He  has  fallen  under  the  spell  of  F.  B. 
Gummere  and  has  been   the  victim  of  the  proselyting  Helveston.      He   is    a   somewhat   shy   bird,    however,    and   seems   out 

of  place  anywhere  but  in  Founders. 
But  there  he  is  in  his  element  and 
"High,  Low,  Jack  and  the  Game" 
reign  supreme.  So  emboldened  has  he 
become  that  he  has  dared  to  add  a  fifth 
to  the  above  mentioned  immortal  four, 
to-wit,  the  Joker.  Also,  he  sings,  "Dar- 
ling, Let  Me  Tie  Your  Shoestring" — • 
a  truly  rural  ditty.  But  let  the  motto

The  best  place  to  see  Alph,  the

And  there  this  Spring,  he  and  Henley,

As  ibe  curtain  rises,  the  last  strokes  of  Founders'  Bell — the  second  one — are  heard  fading  alDajj.  The  scene  dis- 
closed is  the  large  math  room.  Dr.  Srvatsome  is  seated  behind  a  desk  Uttered  with  papers,  charts,  diagrams,  notebooks 
and  numberless  card  indices  with  the  tabulation  of  Tvhich  he  is  busil\)  engaged.  The  room  is  emptv  except  for  a  fere  of 
the  more  conscientious;  Taylor,  Wagner,  IVebsler,  and  Care])  being  conspicuous  among  these.  The  last  named  is  slon>lv 
turning  the  pages  of  his  notebook  endeavoring  to  determine  whether  or  not  he  has  brought  the  right  one.  As  Dr.  S.  rises 
to  call  the  roll,  the  majority  of  the  class  storm  into  the  room.  Having  gone  over  the  names,  he  reads  the  list  of  absentees, 
reads  it  again,  then  trvice  more  and  is  about  to  start  lecturing  U'hen  a  bic\)cle  bell  is  heard  and  Turner  strolls  noncha- 
lantly in. 

Dr.  S.  (ignoring  Brink's  companionable  nod) — "Gentlemen,  as  you  know,  the  object  of  this  course  is  to  come  down 
flat  footed  on  certain  Social  Maladjustments.  In  today's  lecture  it  is  my  purpose  to  come  across  to  the  group  with  the 
very  concrete  problem  of  Feeblemindedness.  Do  you  realize  that  in  this  country  (readmg  from  mdex  No.  7)  there  are 
200,000  pronouncedly  feebleminded,  of  whom  only  30,000  are  confined  in  institutions?  Even  taking  a  birdseye  view 
of  this  problem  it  is  evidently  time  to  draw  a  halt  and  prevent  the  Social  Stream  from  being  contaminated.  In  Virginia, 
for  instance, — none  of  you  gentlemen  are  from  Virginia,  I  believe, — they  have  put  all  their  energy  into  swatting  the  fly 
and  stamping  out  hog  cholera  and  have  no  law  for  domesticated  idiots.  The  results  are  evident."  (Dixie  strives  to 
rise  but  is  quickly  subdued  and  cast  under  the  bench  by  M'  hippie  and  Votaw.  Halletl  shakes  his  head  reprovingly  at 
the   latter.)

Dr.  S.  {failing  to  notice  an\^thing  beyond  the  usual  atmosphere  of  unrest.) — "You  can  thrash  out  this  problem  any 
way  you  will — when  there  are  250,000  undoubtedly  feebleminded  in  this  country,  and  only  20,000  of  them  in  confine- 
ment, somebody  is  asleep  at  the  switch.  Now  if  there  is  one  thing  I  want  to  get  over  to  this  group  in  terms  of  100% 
it  is  the  potentiality  of  the  Economic  Environment  in  the  realms  of  the  Ethnological,  Aesthetic,  and  Spiritual.  Probably 
very  few  of  you  gentlemen  realize  that  if  turnips  had  not  been  grown  in  Sweden,  Wordsworth  would  never  have  been  born."

rvhat  dazed.      Hallett  and  Loring  Crosman  nod  their  heads  approvingly.) 

Dr.  S. — "Such  evident  facts  are  highly  significant  in  our  study  of  Feeblemindedness.  By  the  census  of  the  U.  S. 
Bureau  of  Printing  and  Engraving  for  1850 — I  regret  that  I  have  been  unable  to  obtain  more  recent  figures —we  see  that 
there  are  today  300,000  feebleminded  in  this  country,  and  only  10,000  of  them  in  institutions.  The  onus  of  this  must 
rest  upon  the  machinations  of  the  Higher  Thimblerig  who  permits  the  doors  of  our  almshouses  to  swing  both  ways.  Now, 
I'll  call  for  volunteers  to  tell  me  why  the  Economic  Environment  as  evidenced  by  the  absence  of  windows  in  bathrooms 
should  have  led  to  these  very  significant  figures."  (Looking  around  triumphantl])  Dr.  S.  catches  sight  of  Taylor  Tvilh 
both  hands  snapping  vehemently,  the  left  having  jomed  its  mate,  raised  at  the  beginnmg  of  the  class.  He  nods  conde-

background  thoroughly — if  men  had  never  built  ships  America  would  probably  not  have  been  discovered"  (Dr.  S.  accepts

not  as  many  feebleminded  there  as  here." 

Dr.  S.  (pondering  this  deeply) — "Mr.  Nitobe,  that's  a  very  interesting  point  and  I'm  glad  you  brought  it  up.  Of 
course  I  am  speaking  of  feeblemindedness  in  its  100%  aspects,  which  perhaps  you  do  not  fully  realize.  I'm  very  sorry

the  lOO'r  aspect  and  I  must  say  it  seems  to  me  to  De  highly  logical  that  miners  should  be  the  ones  to  suffer  in  a  mine 
disaster."  (Appalling  silence  ensues,  broken  only  by  a  nasal  enconium  from  the  "Impatient  Philosopher"  of  the  bacl( 
rolp, — "Good  boy,   Edgar!") 

Dr.  S. — "I  should  be  glad  to  talk  this  (Xjint  over  with  you  after  the  hour.  Meanwhile  I  can  probably  make  my  point 
more  plain  by  means  of  this  chart."  (While  an  extensively  crayoned  sheet  is  being  conspicuously  mounted.  Falconer,  i»ho 
has  been  taking  down  every  p-rarl  rvilh  breathless  avidity,  seizes  his  opportunity.) 

Cy — "Pardon  me,  Dr.  Swatsome,  but  would  you  mind  repealing  those  figures  about   feeblemindedness?" 

Dr.  S. — "Certainly  not.  Falconer,  it  is  a  very  good  thing  to  drive  in  your  peg  at  this  place.  (Refers  to  various 
indices  but.  receiving  no  enlightenment,  mal(es  a  ferv  calculations  on  the  margin  of  a  "Survey." )  Falconer,  I'm  glad  you 
raised  this  significant  point  and  it  might  be  well  for  the  class  to  take  down  these  figures.  According  to  Dr.  Ayre's  inves- 
tigation of  the  South  Bethlehem  Textile  Turnverein  there  are  today  600,000  proved  feebleminded  in  this  country.  Of 
these  but   I  7,000  are  confined  in  institutions." 

Cy  (scribbling  frantically) — "Thank  you,  sir." 

Hubert  (aside  to  Sam  Wagner) — "That's  because  they  have  folding  doors  in  the  almshouses."  (Both  note  this 
significant  fact.) 

Dr.  S. — "I  want  to  round  out  this  discussion  by  gett'r.T  across  to  the  group  with  a  few  very  homely  truths.  For 
instance,  as  I  have  said  once  before,  man  is  not  as  prone  to  do  evil  as  sparks  are  to  fly  upwards.  Also  I  would  discuss  the 
Eugenic  possibilities  of  hereditary  sterilization  but  as  worked  out  in  feebleminded  rats  it  has  proved  a  complete  failure.  Of 
course   this   rather   floors   the   Lamarckian   theory,   does   it   not,    Mr.   Shaffer?" 

Shaff. — "Oh,  yes  indeed!  Because  of  the  recessively  duplex  mendelization  of  dominant  zygotes  Weismann  believed, 
and  I  have  proved,  that  acquired  characteristics  are  seldom   or  never  inherited."

Dr.  S. — "Exactly.  Mr.  Shaffer.  It  is  a  great  comfort  to  have  someone  here  who  has  studied  biology.  Now,  gen- 
tlemen, just  consider  this  chart  which  I  think  will  plainly  show  the  group  the  effects  of  our  laissez-faire  policy."  (L.  P. 
Crosman's  hand  is  raised,  the  owner  evidentlv  feeling  it  incumbent  on  the  Y.  M.  C.  A.  to  shorv  some  active  interest.  He 
receives  a  rather  weary  recognition.) 

Saco  (rather  deprccatinglv) — "Why,  er,  Dr.  Swatsome.  It's — er,  er — It's  been  so  long  smce  I — er — studied  French 
that  I'm  afraid  I — er — don't  quite  understand  what  you  mean  by — er — 'laissez-faire'  in  this  particular  connection."  (An 
elaborate  explanation  folloivs,  during  rvhich  the  class  stirs  uneasilv,  puts  an>ap  pencils  and  closes  notebooks.  Mac  Weil(el 
and  Coley  ostentatiously  unwind  their  Ingersolls.  L.  P.  sits  rigidly  attentive,  a  soft  halo  of  rapt  enlightenment  gradually 
suffusing  his  rugged  features.) 

Saco — "Oh,  I  see!  Then  it  has  the  usual  meaning  of  'laissez-faire'!!!"  (Unanimous  guffaw  in  which  Dr.  S. 
joins.  Whip,  helpless,  is  carried  from  the  room.  Bowie,  observing  his  condition,  joins  the  general  mirth  with  a  conscien- 
tious titter.) 

Dr.  S. — Well,  class,  (I  feel  I  know  you  too  well  to  call  you  gentlemen  any  longer) — I'm  afraid  we'll  have  to  stop 
here  today.  By  the  way  don't  pay  any  attention  to  that  chart.  I  see  from  my  notes  that  it  refers  to  neurotic  heredity  in 
epileptic  guinea  pigs  and  not  to  the  Mendelization  of  Andalusian  fowls  which  I  had  intended  to  discuss.  If  it  is  the 
intention  of  the  group  to  renew  their  subscriptions  to  the  "Survey"  I  must  be  told  before  next  Wednesday — otherwise  Mr. 
Chase  will  multiply  the  price  by  four  and  put  it  on  the  bill." 

The  class  files  thoughtfully  out.  Long  after  the  last  exit  and  as  the  curtain  rises  for  the  final  tableau.  Bowman  is  seen

HO 


HAVERFORD    COLLEGE 


The  Flounderers'  Society 


N   FRIDAY  ,  January  11,  eleven  Seniors  gathered   in   the   luxurious  apartments   nf    "the  Count"   on   the   third 

floor  of  South   Barclay.      In  the  center  of  the  room  the  old  guard  was  at  the  old  game.     Through  the  smoke 

which  lose  lazily  toward  the  ceiling,  the  pale  faces  of  Brink,  Hor.us,  the  Tobe,  Don,  Weik,  and  Moore  shone 

white   in   the   gloom.      Coley  was  invisible  but   audible.      I  he  chips  clinked  monotonously.     Tom  Hoopes  drew 

a  poor  hand  and  immediately,  observing  that  it  was   time   to  begin   the   meeting,   coralled   the   royal    family   and 

the  chips.      The  two  Eds,   Levi  and  the  Count  pushed  their  chairs  to  the  wall. 

"Fellows,"  began  Tom,  "this  is  one  of  the  most  serious  assemblies  that  has  ever  been  at  Haverford  and  I  think  it  only 
proper  that  we  should  open  with  a  brief  period  of  silence."  The  eleven  modest  Seniors  solemnly  bowed  their  heads  and  a 
sacred  silence,  loud  with  the  inspired  purpose  of  that  gathering,  hovered  visibly  over  them.  Don  mutilated  it  by  quoting 
in  scriptural  tones — "Of  making  many  books  there  is  no  end;  and  much  study  is  a  weariness  of  the  flesh."  With  earnest- 
ness, Tom  spoke  as  follows: 

"Most  of  you  know  the  purpose  of  this  meeting.  For  three  and  a  half  years,  we  have  watched  in  shameful  lethargy 
the  growing  menace  of  Scholarship  and  Efficiency.  For  three  and  a  half  years  the  Phi  Beta  Kappa  has  been  a  thorn  in  the 
flesh  and  its  flashing  keys  a  red  rag  to  our  gaze."  Coley  interrupted:  "I  move  we  confiscate  that  umbilicus  protector  of 
L.  G.  Bowman's.  Jeece,  it  makes  me  sore!"  Tom  grinned  and  continued:  "Within  the  past  few  months  we  have  seen 
the  birth  of  the  Founders'  Society.  The  situation  has  become  intolerable!  These  societies  are  crushing  out  the  very  vitality 
of  our  college.  Weik,  Levi,  Henry,  and  some  more  of  us  have  realized  its  peril  and  wish  to  present  for  your  consideration 
this  evening  a  plan  for  forming  a  new  society  which  will  be  the  salvation  and  glorification  of  Haverford."  (A  few  hand- 
claps. "Hear!  Hear!"  from  Farr.)  "At  first  we  will  probably  be  a  voice  in  the  wilderness  but  now  is  the  time  to  act." 
"That's  from  the  Bible."  mumbled  Levi. 

"The  eleven  fellows  who  have  assembled  are  men  who  have  succeeded  in  affixing  the  coveted  asterisk  to  their  names 
in  the  college  catalog  during  Junior  and  Senior  years.  It  is  our  duty  to  sacrifice  even  our  studies  in  this  unselfish  effort  to 
save  the  college.     We'd   like  to  hear  what  you  fellows  think   of  the  idea. 

Looking  unusually  sober,  Tom  took  his  seat.  No  one  spoke — the  cigarettes  burned  more  brightly  and  Ed  Crosman's 
pipe  gurgled  contentedly.  The  Count  was  moved  to  speech.  In  dazzling  neatness  he  stood  before  us,  swinging  slowly 
backwards  and  forwards  on  his  heels  and  toes.  Head  to  one  side  he  gazed  into  the  cloud  of  smoke  and  blinked  rapidly. 
Then  he   flicked   the   ashes    from   his  cigar   dramatically.      Brink  was  trying  in  feverish  haste  to  get  the  gesture  down  on  oaper. 

"Fellow  liberators,"  he  began,  "nothing  so  stirs  my  very  soul  as  shirking  under  an  ideal  whether  high  or  low.  I  move 
that  the  society  be  called  the  Flounderers'  Society.  Let  it  be  a  society  of  the  unsung  heroes  of  the  lower  half — of  those 
who  can  average  an  honorable  'E'  or'D'  and  who  are  not  afraid  to  flunk."    ("It  is  better  to  have  tried  and  flunked  than 


147 


NINETEEN    FIFTEEN    RECORD 


never  to  have  tried  at  all,"  stammered  Moore's  mustache.)      "Let  our  society  stand  in  every  way  for  Individuality  and  the 
expansion  of  the  Ego." 

"Stick  out  your  chest,  Honus,"  cried  Coiey. 

"Let  us  fight  to  the  last  man  with  Wogglebuggian  strength  against  the  present  effort  on  the  part  of  the  faculty  to  make 
a   Haverford  type — that   terrible  tendency  which  is  strangling   the  very  life  of  our  institution." 

Then  Honus  arose;  the  burden  of  the  Cap  and  Bells  made  him  list  to  port. 

"Fellows,"  said  he,  "I  think  the  society  should  have  a  pin.  I've  had  considerable  experience  in  selecting  pins  as  Chair- 
man of  the  Safety  Pin  Committee  of  the  Cap  and  Bells.  " 

"Excellent  idea,  something  circular  with  a  picture  of  the    cmder  track,"  suggested  Brink. 

"I   therefore   suggest,"   continued   Sam   undaunted,    "that    we  adopt  the  asterisk  as  the  symbol  of  our  society." 

"Say,  cull,  where  were  you  dragged  up?"  questioned  Coley. 

"Aw,  Coley,  that  isn't  funny." 

"SOME  comeback,"  said  Scranton. 

Yo  seized  the  floor  with  both  feet.  "Mr.  Chairman,  I  propose  that  the  pin  be  worn  modestly  on  the  back  of  the 
undershirt."  (Audible  approval.)  "And,  while  I  am  on  my  feet,  I  wish  to  set  forth  a  few  ideas  in  exotic  words  and  as 
cryptically  as  possible.  Sociologically  speaking,  I  would  urge  ihat  great  efforts  be  made  to  boycott  professors  who  insist 
upon  delivering  "bull"  seminars.     All  prospective  members  shcu'd  be  asked  to  take  German  A.  or  Greek  A." 

"I  wouldn't  take  German  A.  for  Kaiser  Bill  himself,"  mused  Coley. 

Ed  Crosman  rose  slowly.  "Mr.  Chairman,  I  th'.nk  we  should  carry  on  an  advertising  propaganda  work  amon^  ihe 
schools,  using  the  Gummere  Card  Catalogue  system.  And  perhaps  make  personal  trips  by  auto  to  some  of  the  nearby  in 
stitutions  of  learning." 

The  Count's   stickpin,   ring   and  hair   glistened   approval. 

It  sounded  like  sand  paper  but  it  was  Levi  passing  the  back  of  his  hand  over  his  mouth  in  order  to  open  it.  "I  move 
we  adjourn.     Whose  deal,  Ed?" 

"Just  a  second  Mr.  Chairman."  It  was  Weik,  the  silent  promoter  of  the  "Scarlet."  "I  think  we  ought  to  have  some 
honorary  members  just  for  form  if  nothing  else.  I  move  that  Minot,  Addie  Bliss,  Bro  Kling,  Scarey,  the  Egg,  Theis,  and 
Jim  Ellison  be  unanimously  elected  Honorary  Members." 

"Second  the  motion.     A  fine  bunch,"  said  Ed  Farr  in  a    fatherly  tone. 

"Fellows,  the  spirit  of  this  meeting  convinces  me  that  Beatty's  firstborn  will  meet  an  early  death  and  the  Phi  Beta 
Kappa  will  soon  be  treated  with  the  scorn  it  deserves.      Deal    me  five  aces,  Ed,  I  dare  you." 

The  cards  slid  to  the  table  from  Ed's  skilful  hands;  the  ch'ps  clicked  once  more,  the  bickering  began;  the  smoke 
thickened.     The  night  passed  out  and  a  new  day  dawned  for  Haverford.

HAVERFORD    COLLEGE 


(A  farce  in  one  act) 


Scene:  The  bacleriological  lab.  It  is  earlv  morning.  The  first  red  rays  of  a  Bunsen  burner  fall  upon  the  pale  cheel( 
of  Ellison,  who  yaivns,  stretches,  and  crawls  out  from  among  the  guinea  pigs.  Knowlton  is  seen  to  shiver  and  creep  closer 
to  the  while  mouse  that  shares  his  bed  with  him.  A  famt,  distant  rumble  as  of  a  giant  waltzing  on  a  tin  roof  is  heard  in 
the  direction  of  the  incubator.  This  gradually  increases  in  volume  until  a  deafening  roar  the  door  of  the  incubator  opens 
and  Choate  steps  daintily  out.  Wallfing  to  the  door  post  he  ranges  alongside  and  marks  the  spot  reached  by  the  top  of 
his  head.     Choate  (triumphantly) — "An  eighth  of  an  inch  more!     This  incubatin's  good  stuff!" 

IVithout  a  word  Ellison  and  Knowlton  have  turned  to  t!.eir  worl(.  Choate  places  a  mouse  in  the  whirling  machine 
and  turns  it  idly.  Suddenly  the  door  is  burst  open  and  Herb  Taylor  enters  wild-eyed.  Herb — "Five  minutes  to  make 
culture  tubes!" 

In  desperation  he  places  bouillon,  agar,  gelatine,  millf.  potatoes,  etc.,  in  a  large  iron  vessel  and  boils  it  over  a  quictf 
fire.  He  turns  away  for  a  moment,  and  Ellison,  with  quiet  determination,  drains  the  broth  at  a  single  draught,  then  resumes 
his  work.  Knowlton,  who  has  witnessed  the  treachery,  seizes  a  cover  glass  and  makes  for  him,  only  to  be  restrained  by 
Herb  and  Choate.  Knowhon  (sobbing) — "Wah !  Now  I'll  have  to  gel  breakfast  and  that'll  put  Jimmie  one-tenth  point 
ahead  of  me!" 

The  8:30  bell  rings.  Enter  Furies  and  K.  Taylor.  Taylor  removes  his  coat,  places  it  in  a  corner,  curls  up  on  it  and 
is  soon  asleep.

Faries  (pToducing  a  culture  lube  from  his  pocl^et) — "Ha!  Leprosy!     Want  to  smell  it?" 

The  rest  retreated  alarmed, — all  save  Choate,  who,  in  the  interests  of  science,  smears  a  little  of  the  culture  on  his 
nose.  For  upwards  of  half  an  hour  the  class  amuses  itself  at  the  expense  of  the  lab.'s  dumb  animals.  Suddenly  there  is 
a  quicif  step  on  the  gravel  path,  the  door  opens,  and  Dr.  Babbit,  clad  in  a  gr.p  overcoat,  with  a  felt  hat  pushed  far  bacl(  on 
his  head,  enters  precipitously.  The  six  worlfcrs  are  busy  at  their  worl(:  they  have  not  heard  him  enter,  so  fascinated  are 
they  by  the  great  Science  of  Bacteriology.  Knowlton  (peering  into  microscope) — "Ah!  here's  a  Prodigiosa  I  wish  Dr. 
Babbit  were  here  to  see  this."  (Turning  around  and  l(nocl(ing  Dr.  Babbit  off  his  feet.)  "Ah!  You  are  here!  Ha-ha!" 
Dr.  Babbit  (using  microscope) — "Yes,  that's  splendid!  Just  come  here,  class,  and  look  at  this  great  splendid  Prodigiosa 
that  Knowlton  has  isolated!" 

(The  class  crowds  obediently  around  the  microscope.)      Knowlton — "What   disease  does   Prodigiosa  cause.   Dr.    Bab- 
bit?"     Dr.   Babbit — "Er — ah — "      Knowlton — "Is  it  small-pox?"      Dr.    Babbit — "Why,  yes,   of  course."      Knowlton — 
"Who  discovered  it?"      Dr.   Babbit — "Eer — ah — " 
Knowlton — "Was   it   Jones?"      Dr.    Babbit — "Why,   yes,   of    course." 

At  this  point  Choate  breal(s  out  m  loud  guffaws  of  unrestrained  laufhler.  Choate — "Ho-ho!  Haw-haw!  There 
isn't  any  slide  under  the  microscope!"  , 

Painful  silence,  during  which  Knowlton  shifts  uneasily  from  one  foot  to  the  other  and  Ellison  tillers  audibly.  Dr. 
Babbit   (brusquely)  — "Now,  class,  please  take  seats  in  the  other  room." 

The  class  does  as  told.  Dr.  Babbit  removes  hat  and  coat  and  throws  them  on  Faries.  Dr.  Babbit  (assuming 
l(indly  attitude) — "We  have  today  the  interesting  study  of  hog-cholera.  Last  time  you  remember  K.  Taylor  gave  us  the 
report  on  Ehrlich  we  have  been  waiting  for  so  long.  We  saw  how  Ehrlich's  theory  embraced  a  general  sort  of  systematic 
condition  where  the  snarling  octopus-like  projections  of  the  toxipheric  portion  of  the  molecule  became  associated  with  the 
cavern-like  receptors  of  the  differential  polynuclear  or  large  mono-nuclear  leukocytes.  Now,  who  knows  anything  about  the 
Opsonic  Index?" 

No  answer  from  the  class,  though  Ellison  smiles  reassuringly.  Dr.  Babbit  (relieved) — "Then  we  won't  study  it. 
You  remember  also  last  time  Knight  told  us  about  the  hoof  and  mouth  disease.      Now  this  is  an   interesting  topic  because  it

HAVERFORD    COLLEGE 


is  a  frightful  general  sort  of  a  systemic  condition  which  we  have  all  around  us.  I  think  Knight  is  an  excellent  example  of 
hoof  and  mouth — "  Choale  (blushing)  —  "I  beg  your  pardon — "  Dr.  Babbit — "Ha-Ho!  I  should  say  I  think  Knight 
is  an  excellent  sort  of  investigator  of  hoof  and  mouth  disease,  because  the  first  move  of  the  health  authorities  at  the  outbreak 
of  an  epidemic  is  to  confine  all  chickens!  Ha-ha!  Bui  joking  aside  and  strictly  confidential, — I  haven't  fell  the  same 
about  eating  raw  meat  since  Ellison's  report  on  the  tape  worms.  Oh!  By  the  way,  Herb,  there  was  a  man  telephoned  the 
office  yesterday  and  said  he  didn't  want  any  more  dirty  Indians  sent  up  to  referee  his  games!  I  do  declare,  doesn't  it 
seem  funny — I've  often  wondered  that  people  can't  be  more  considerate  of  one  another.  Why,  the  very  gentility  of  coughing 
in  a  person's  face  should  make  an  appeal.  I  had  an  interesting  situation  brought  up  a  week  ago:  infection  due  to  dandruff; 
made  a  scraping  of  an  Italian  gentleman's  head — "  K.  Taylor — "He-he!"  Dr.  Babbit — "No,  it  wasn't  what  you  think 
it  was.  But  to  return  to  hog  cholera;  it  is  interesting  because  man  and  chickens  are  immune  to  it,  whereas  the  hog  is  im- 
mune to  snake  poison  and  the  negro  to  yellow  fever.  Now  isn't  that  an  interesting  general  relation?  Immunity,  you  see, 
is  a  relative  term,  and  we  must  distinguish  between  warm  and  cold  blooded  animals,  "^'ou  see  the  antibodies  float  about 
in  the  blood  serum  and  sensitive  bacteria  for  infection  by  the  phagocytes — blocks  up  like  a  dam  in  childhood's  play-time, 
associated  in  a  cess-pool  kind  of  a  condition  that  always  reminds  me  of  a  tire  puncture  in  Chinatown.  These  form  the 
opsonins.  What  are  the  opsonins,  Faries?"  Faries  (suddenly) — "You  just  told  us  we  should  WT-ry  about  opsonins." 
Dr.  Babbit  (unhurt) — "Did  I?  Well,  next  week  we  shall  make  a  trip  to  town.  Hew  many  of  the  class  would  like  to  go 
at  ten  o'clock?"  All  raise  hands.  Dr.  Babbit — "How  many  would  like  to  go  at  th'ee  o'clock?"  No  hands  are  raised. 
Dr.  Babbit — "Well  then,  that  settles  it.  We'll  go  at  three  o'clock."  (Herb  stares  wislfulh  out  of  the  mindon'.)  "Now 
I  wish  you'd  each  take  one  of  the  mice  and  subject  it  to  some  sort  of  a  general  sort  of  experimenting.  Why  don't  you, 
Ellison,  feed  it  cheese  with  some  of  the  streptococci  on  it  and  see  if  you  can  find  them  in  its  ear."  Ellison  (blushing) — "Do 
you  think  that  would  be  a  very  nice  place  to  look  for  them,  sir?"  Dr.  Babbit — "And  remember  what  I've  told  you  about 
cog  holera — I  mean,  ha-ha!  rog  golera — I  mean — Knight,  what  do  I  mean?"  Knight  (swallowing) — "Log  rolera!" 
Dr.  Babbit  (convulsed) — "Now  I  want  you  to  finish  up  whatever  work  of  a  general  routine  sort  you  may  have,  and  then 
that  will  do   for  today.      (Snatches  up  hat  and  coat  and  hurries  off.      It  is  now  9:05.)

The  Case  of  Bryn  Mawr  v.  Haverford  College 


TH    E  EVENING   BULLETIN 


FIRED  HAVERFORD  STUDENTS 


Six   Seniors   Suspended   for    Midnight 

Serenade  Near  Bryn  Mawr 

College  Dorms. 


Six  members  of  the  Senior  class  of 
Haverford  Collejje  were  suspended 
for  two  weelcs  for  singing'  not  wisely 
but  too  well  under  the  windows  of  the 
Bryn  Mawr  College  Dormitories  as 
the  conclusion  of  a  class  dinner.  The 
six  were  returning  from  the  Seniors' 
dinner  at  the  Merion  Cricket  Club  in 
an  automobile  after  midnight  on 
March  4.  Somebody  suggested  a  sere- 
nade and  the  machine  was  brought  to 
a  halt. 

The  next  morning  complaints  and 
communications  flew  between  Haver- 
ford and  Bryn  Mawr,  the  offenders 
were  lined  up  before  President  Sharp- 
less  of  Haverford  and,  after  a  sting- 
ing lecture,  were  sent  home  for  two 
weeks    of    penitence. 

The  Seniors  were  accused  of  driv- 
ing their  machine  at  high  speed 
through  the  Bryn  Mawr  campus. 
Even  President  Thomas  was  awak- 
ened by  the  noise,  according  to  infor- 
mation transmitted  to  President 
Sharpless.  Among  the  suspended  stu- 
dents were  E.  L.  Farr,  star  tackle  of 


the  football  team;  Thomas  Hooper, 
Edward  Megargee  Levis  of  German- 
town,  and  W.  H.  Leland. 

President  Sharpless  refused  to 
make  any  comment  on  the  matter  to- 
day and  everybody  at  the  office  of  M. 
Carey  Thomas,  president  of  Bryn 
Mawr,  said  that  there  was  nothing 
more  to  be  said.  It  is  known,  how- 
ever, that  the  official  complaint  to 
President  Sharpless  represented  that 
the  young  ladies  of  Bryn  Mawr  were 
awakened  by  the  racket  outside  and 
disturbed.  There  was  an  intimation 
that  the  singing  was  even  off  key. 

The  members  of  the  class  are  not 
yet  convinced  that  the  suspension  was 
justified.  It  is  a  question  that  hangs 
on  the  unalienable  right  of  college 
men  to  sing  college  songs  on  their 
way  home  from  class  gatherings. 
"We  only  sang  the  college  songs,"  one 
of  the  members  of  the  class  said  to- 
day. "We  wished  to  do  honor  and 
homage  to  Bryn  Mawr.  a  college  tbat 
we  hold  in  the  highest  esteem.  The 
report  that  we  drove  the  machine  on 
the  campus  isn't  true.  I  will  admit 
that  some  of  the  chaps  forgot  about 
the  time.  It  must  have  been  pretty 
late.  I  wasn't  there  but  I  got  a  com- 
plete account  of  what  happened.  It 
was  a  lark  and  nothing  more.  No 
damage  was  done  and  there  was  noth- 
ing improper — except,  of  course,  the 
hour."

Dear  Sir: 


The  Beanery 
March  5,  7  A.  M. 


Lawst  evening,  or  rather,  early  this  morning — at  least 
twenty  of  your  young  male  students  .set  foot  upon  these 
premises  entirely  overlooking  the  prominently  displayed 
sign  that  "No  trespassers  are  allowed  on  these 
grounds."  My  poor  dear  lambs  were  much  disturbed  by 
hilarious  shouting  and  uproarious  singing — much  to  the 
detriment  of  their  needed  beauty  sleep.  I  can  .scarcely 
imagine  that  you  would  condone  such  an  unpardonable 
and  unwarranted  breach  of  the  peace.  So  I  look  for  you 
to  have  them  immediately  taken  into  custody  for  arson, 
trespass  or  treason. 

Yours  truly, 

EMMA.

Dear  Mile: 

I  regretfully  perused  thy  letter  of  yester  morn — and  it 
is  with  great  reluctance  that  1  invoke  wrath  upon  these 
student  heads.  For  1  assure  you  1  have  never  had  a 
quieter,  more  studious  group  of  young  men  under  my 
charge  than  the  six  who  have  come  to  my  notice  as  having 
used  the  public  highway  through  thy  grounds  on  Sixth 
Day  morning.  Since,  however,  it  is  thy  desire  for  blood,  1 
will  grant  the  young  men  a  two  weeks'  vacation,  on  pay, 
with  cuts  excused.  Trusting  that  the  affair  is  closed,  1 
remain, 

Very    truly,

Dear   Sir: 

I  could  almost  forget  my  good  English  in  trying  to  ex- 
press to  you  my  indignation  at  the  slight  sentence  these 
malefactors  have  received  at  your  hands.  But  then,  upon 
reflection  I  remember  that  mere  man  ncrer  does  the  right 
thing  at  any  time.  So  1  publicly  wash  my  digital  extremi- 
ties of  the  whole  affair. 


TESTIMONY 
No.  1 — From  a  Bryn  Mawr  student,  class  of  1917. 

"Oh,  Charlie!  Were  you  in  that  party  of  songbirds 
that  flew  through  here  last  Thursday  night?  Do  you 
know — there  were  twelve  men  in  the  car  besides  the 
chauffeur.  Nancy  and  I  counted  them.  No,  it  was  a  big 
red  touring  car,  a  Fiat,  I  think.  It  just  went  around  and 
around  over  the  campus  at  least  a  dozen  times.  It  was 
terribly  exciting." 

(The  above  testimony  thrown  out,  as  the  car  happened 
to  be  a  poor  little  Ford  with  seven  occupants.) 

No.  2 — From  the  Bryn  Mawr  watchman. 

"Yis,  on  Thursday  night,  I  stopped  a  crowd  of  young 
gintlemin  a-going  through  the  campus  road.  The  one  in 
the  front  seat  near  me  said,  'We  want  to  get  to  Rosemont 
— which  road?  '  I  told  'em  the  first  road  tub  the  left,  but 
I  meant  the  first  real  road.  But  the  first  road  took  'em 
right  up  to  the  Deanery,  where  the  Head  Missus  stuck 
her  head  out  the  window  and  shoo-ed  at  'em.  But  they 
soon  left — and  the  songs  they  were  singing  were  right 
good,  especially  Tipperary."

The  library  at  five  o'clock  on  a  rainy  afternoon.  A//is  Sharpless  and  Miss  Bettlc  at  the  dcsl(.  Miss  Ingalls  in  the 
offing  examining  the  card  catalogue.  Students  occasionally  enter,  drape  their  coats  over  the  rail,  and  arc  sivalloTved  up  in 
various  alcoves.  There  is  little  other  disturbance.  A  gentle  but  continuous  paltering  Tvhich,  upon  investigation,  proves 
due  to  the  meanderings  of  Uncle  Allen  collecting  data  for  a  nerv  history  of  the  United  States.  Also,  every  noTV  and  then, 
plaintive  Tvails  from  an  entombed  Ifilten  rvho  seems  most  literally  "xvrapped  around  with  quiet  Quaker  spell,"  as  a  Swarth- 
more  bard  sang  in  the  "Haverfordian"  not  very  long  ago.  Enter  Bowman,  in  the  manner  that  March  proverbially  exits. 
Nobody  looks  up.  He  reopens  the  door  and  slams  it  viciously,  coughs  and  marches  to  the  desk.  Uncle  Allen  incon- 
tinently retreats  to  his  private  office,  locking  the  door  behind  him. 

Bowie — "Alright,  Miss  Sharpies,  you  can  go  now.  I'm  here.  Miss  Bettle,  did  you  get  those  'London  Friends' 
straightened  out  all  right?  Rufus  Jones  made  rather  a  mess  of  them  yesterday.  And  by  the  way.  Miss  Sharpless.  Dum 
was  three  minutes  late  in  opening  the  library  last  night.  Remember  that  in  paying  him.  won't  you?"  He  goes  to  thai 
strange  vehicle  which  is  used  for  returning  books  and,  loading  it  with  a  copy  of  the  "Literary  Digest,"  trundles  up  and 
down  the  main  aisle,  his  whole  figure  redolent  of  responsibdity  and  grim  determination.  Enter  Spilzy,  apparently  in 
haste.      He  makes  a  bee  line  for  Miss  Ingalls,  who  receives  him  placidly. 

Spitz — "Ah  Miss  Ingalls.  may  I — er. — ask  you  to  reserve  some — let  me  think — yesss — some  two  dozen  books  for 
French  III?  Any  books.  I'm  not  particular — except  that  they  had  better  be  French  books.  ^  e-ess.  I  think  they  must

taste.  Now  I  must  be  off,  I, — that  is,  I'm  just  swamped  with  work  y'know.  I  must  be  off  to  my  study  and.  ah,  and —

out  quite  oblivious  of  Bowie's  solicitous  eye.  At  the  door  he  pa."ics  Mr.  Collins  rvho  shambles  into  the  North  wing. 
listens  at  a  register  to  the  feline  complaints,  turns  off  the  heal  and  listens  again,  and  th'm  silently  glides  out,  viewing  all 
who  come  in  his  direct  line  of  vision  with  the  utter  hopelessness  of  a  German  philosopher.  For  a  few  moments  there  is 
comparative  quiet,  Bowie  having  retired  to  the  third  floor  of  the  stack  foom.  Enter  Brink  Turner.  He  surveys  the  prospect, 
nods  to  Miss  Ingalls  who  is  now  at  the  desk  ^"d  consults  a  memorandum. 

Brink — "I  want  Sin  and  Society,  The  Cit'V  of  Dreadful  \'ighl,  and  Sodom's  Social  Solution  in  Modern  Moral 
Movements.  Tliese  are  reserved  for  Phil.  V.  Doubtless  you  could  tell  that  by  the  titles."  Miss  Ingalls,  her  face  suffused 
to  a  most  becoming  hue,  hands  over  the  last  two  with  avert  d  head.      She  then  opens  a  drawer  and  consults  the  records. 

Miss  Ingalls- — Mr.  Turner.  Dr.  Cadbury  has  that  firs;  book.      In  fact  (with  a  charming  burst  of  candor)  he  has  had

wheelbarrow  in  which  they  hear  the  nightly  quota  of  hooks  to  Merion.  Without  delay  both  dash  for  the  laden  shelves  of

This  has  been  almost  accomplished,  and  the  building  is  all  but  denuded  of  humanity  when  the  door  again  opens, — this

HAVERFORD    COLLEGE 


An  Unpublished  "News"  Story 


T.  Crinkly  Burner  addressed  the  Y.  M.  C.  A.  on  Sunday  evening  on  women,  spring,  watches  and  bugs.  The  meeting 
was  largely  attended.  Great  enthusiasm  and  feeling  was  shown  by  the  congregation.  I  en  converts  hit  the  trail — it  is  now 
in  the  Infirmary  for  repairs.  Mr.  Burner  announced  "Old  Black  Joe"  as  the  opening  hymn,  but  evidently  had  some  doubts 
whether  Henry  (janitor,  colored)  was  in  the  building,  for  a  whispered  conversation  with  Rorly  resulted  in  the  singing  of 
"God  Save  the  King."  A  short  prayer  from  Closman  left  hardly  a  dry  eye  in  the  room  as  "Oh,  God!  Be  with  our 
speaker"   quavered  through  the  silence.      After  the  prayer.   Burner  began  immediately: 

"What  man  who  lives  in  Merion  these  Spring  days,  what  man  who  observes  even  the  bugs  and  beetles  flying  toward 
the  light,  hears  the  tender  rustle  of  the  grass  growing  toward  the  heavens,  sees  the  tender  buds  of  ivy  vines  peeping  in  his 
windows,  hears  the  tinkle  of  the  phone  bells,  thinks  on  his  pro.\imily  to  Bryn  Mawr,  watches  the  steadfastness  of  the 
dining-room  steps,  what  man,  I  say,  whose  soul  is  alive  to  these  influences,  doubts  that  he  has  a  soul?  What  man  who 
notices  all  this  does  not  feel  the  surge  of  the  infinite.  Fellows,  I  have  been  asked  to  talk  to  you.  I  bring  message  that 
Spring  is  here,  beautiful,  inspiring,  wonderful — a-a-h.  Spring!  But  though  Spring  is  here,  you  must  not  forget — you 
know  there  was  a  fellow  named  Jones.  He  worked  on  the  'Evening  Transcript,"  but  Til  touch  on  that  later.  At  present 
I  want  to  touch  on  girls. 

"You  know  there  are  a  lot  of  girls.  I  don't  want  to  talk  about  all  of  them.  Here  is  the  good  substantial  sort  who 
is  an  inspiration  to  a  man's  life.  The  kind  who  can  make  good  pies  and  dust  chairs — keep  the  house  in  order  you  know — 
and  make  pies.  Well,  anyway — that's  not  the  kind  of  girl  I  want  to  talk  about.  You  know  the  kind  I  mean.  They  go 
past  Merion.  They  live  in  Ardmore.  But  there  are  a  good  many  down  around  Preston,  too.  Some  of  them  live  around 
here  and  there's  a  sprinkling  around  Bryn  Mawr.  Well,  fellows,  you  know,  it  doesn't  pay  to  doll  around  with  these 
Hossies.      It  doesn't  pal;.'      (Dreamily.)      It's  nice,  though.      But  oh,   I  say,   fellows — it  doesn't  pay.      Cut  it  out. 

"Has  anyone  here  read  Elbert  Hubbard's  'Message  to  Garcia?'  Rorly?  Well, — you  know  this  fellow  Brink — 1 
mean  Jones,  who  reported  on  the  'Transcript.'  He  had  a  message  to  carry,  not  exactly  to  Garcia — but  to  carry,  you  know. 
Well,  he  got  the  street  and  number  wrong,  and  wasted  lots  of  time.  \'ou  know  fellows — always  get  your  street  and  num- 
ber right.  Because  if  you  don't,  you'll  waste  time.  The  modern  business  man  wants  efficient  workers.  He  doesn't  want 
any  time  wasted.      So  get  your  number  right. 

"Oh,  hell,  fellows,  reform.  You  know  you  can't  go  on  this  way.  Class-rooms  now.  If  you  can't  listen  to  your 
professors — well,  stay  away,  that's  all.  But  don't  overcut.  You'd  better  listen  to  the  professors,  I  guess.  But  keep  your 
watches  in  your  pockets.  I  know  I've  wasted  'years  looking  at  my  watches,  my  watch,  I  mean.  I  say,  Rorly,  what's  that 
snappy  hymn  you  wanted  to  close  with?  Oh,  yes!  Well,  fellows,  we'll  close  with  'Crossing  the  Bar'  (wiping  the 
back  of  his  hand  across  his  mouth) — sounds  good  doesn't  it!" 

Mr.  Burner  talked  on  many  other  topics,  old  clothes  men,  Bergdoll,  the  war,  and  Mormonism  but  space  forbids  an 
absolutely  verbatim  report  of  the  most  interesting  speech  that  Rorly  has  arranged  this  year.

would   be   content   lo  have  you   recall   the  words  of   Romeo: 
"I  do  remember  an  apothecrary, 
And    hereabouts    he    dwells" — 
But    Shakespeare's    description    of    the    shop,    in    the    same 
sentence,    does    not    apply    to    Haverford    Pharmacy. 


"And   in   his  seedy   shop   a    tortoise   hung. 
An  alligator  stuff'd,  and  other  skins 
Of  ill  shaped  fishes;   and  about  his  shelves 
A  beggarly   account  of  empty   boxes. 
Green  earthen  pots,  bladders  and  musty   s 
Remnants  of  packthread  and  old  cakes  of  ro!
