Y greetings to the class of 1920 ami its friends! Your training this year
and next is no more significant tlian tliat of a few years ago but it seems
so : it is more apparent and you are more aware of it. Y^ou are securing
that training at the old Cornell.
Cornell has a peculiar place and distinct mission. First, it is a Col-
lege, in the division of labor l)et\veen Colleges and Universities, the
former aim for breadth, for the fundamentals, and the latter strive for
focus, for the specialties. Complementary, each necessary to th.e other, the Uni-
versity with technical efficiency and skill and professional or graduate preparation
for the vocation ui)[)crmost, atmospheres constantly with materialism, worthy, proi^ei-
and necessary; tlie College, in no way uirfitting but in a most essential manner pre-
paring for such training, atmospheres a man constantly with idealism aiul thereby
saves the world — including the Universities.
Colleges are charged then with ci'eating, propagating and maintaining personal
and national ideals as their peculiar service. Furnishing the teachers, or teachers of
teachers, for the High and I^nblic Schools, and furnishing the leading scholars for the
professional and technical institutions, they are privileged to snrcharge our wliole
national life Avith their cardinal juinciples and ideals.
Cornell has not failed in this duty. By her fruits she is known and by those
alone she must stand or fall. Her graduates and non-graduates have met heroically,
nobly, successfully the demands of peace and war. The service flag of ])eace has
been as large and closely filled as has the service ilag of war. Service is Cornell's
synonym ; leadership in service has been her pride and joy.
Y'our training is of tremendous significance for you face mighty issues and
titanic struggles. Materialism apparently ousted by the iilealism which finally
forced us into the war, has been sinking its talons deep into the national soul. Caji
we shake it off?
Eeconstruction will find us markedly better or worse. If we cannot translate
ami transmute the idealism of the war's causes, the idealism which welded us into
nationality, into the recoiistruction terms and peace conditions, materialism will
return se\enfold upon us, and we will have missed the Pentecost of our Calamity.
Y'^ou are called to a higher and more inclusive ideal — the service of mankind.
Y'our horizons have been extended; the field of service is no longer delimited; it is
no longer btnuided on the north, south, east and west. Y^ou are ser\'ants of civiliza-
tion, not of a mere kultur ; Professor La Horre of Louvain distinguishes the latter
as national and the former as international. For the new era, ushered in by the
bombs and bayonets, shells and gas of the world's worst war, you are summoned to
a keener insight and understanding, to broader and deeper foundations, and to a
wider knowledge and sympathy than any who have ])receded. Yon nmst be more to
do as much ; you must know more to be as learned.
So the war and reconstruction challenge you! Cornell believes in you! Cor-
nell stakes her reputation on you !

UCH has been said, and no doubt much more will be said, about the success or
failure of the Student Army Trainiiiii Corps. Those familiar with units in those
schools which were big enough in spirit, loyalty, and patriotism, to have grasped
at the outset the important idea behind the whole movement will have little but
words of praise for it : those le.ss fortunate who were connected witli schools,
the heads of which were unable, in this emergency faced by our Country, to give
up for the time being at least the exercise of their customary, and at times,
despotic power, in order to make the movement a success will have naught but ill to speak
of it. Owing to the serious epidemic of Spanish Influenza that came with its initial or-
ganization, seriously disrupting the work, along with the circumstance that it was an in-
novation requiring students to study under conditions wholly different from anything
they liad been accustomed to, together further with the fact tliat the plan was in operation
but such a short time, a fair trial of the system was not secured.
Considering the obstacles met and overcome, the S. A. T. C. at Cornell College was a
success, and had the plan continued for the remainder of the school year, it would liave
accomplished its mission in a manner that would have been completely satisfactory not
only to the War r>epartment. but to student and College.
The student who performed his duty as a member of the S. A. T C. performed his
duty as a soldier for his Government, and more cannot be said of any soldier than that
he performed his duty. Had the war continued for anotlier year, the Government would
have needed thousands of additional officers, and the War Department realizing the ad-
axrtages of a College or University education in tlie development of tliat self reliance
and initiative so necessary to make a successful army officer, determined tliat tlie young
men of College and University standing, could better serve their Government by carrying
on their scholastic work preparatory to entering an officers" training school ; the plan was
so worked out that every member of the S. A. T. C. witli a few exceptions in technical
lines, would have been in active service before the completion of the school .vear, a body
of them going out each three months. In time of need, all citizens are equally under obli-
gations to discharge the responsibilities of citizenship, and in the discharge of those duties,
it is incumbent upon them to serve wherever the Government feels they can be of great-
est service. All would have preferred the glory of actual combat. an(' to those who were
not permitted to meet the enemy face to face, the performance of their duty was the most
difficult.
In conclusion. I want to say a word personally about Cornell Collrge. I came here in
September of last year, before College opened, and I am frank to admit that my first im-
pressions were not the most favorable; but with the opening of the College, my feelings
underwent a decided change, and today there is perhaps a no more ardent Cornell booster
than myself ; next to my own Alma Mater, comes Cornell. Cornell students have every
right to feel proud of their College: and Cornell College has every right to feel proud of
its student body. I am glad that I have served with and for you, and I predict for this
school a future large and glorious, one even greater in its service and success than any
of us dream of at present. The future will be an age of service more than anything else,
and in this age, Cornell promises to take its place toward the top of the list.

Wliafs Jill tliis jai-iidnV The answer is; simple — it's the Cornell College
S. A. T. C. giiinii thni their daily military contortion.
The Cornell unit was organized on October 1st. 1!)1S, under the direction of
("apt. Walter L. Tooze, Jr. When the Captain arrived in Mt. Vernon he had no
f<irms or organization to work with. He went directly to the Chicago Zone
Supply Olficei-. secui'ed his material and was back on the ground with every de-
tail organized to go "over the top" on schedule. The "zero hour'" — Octol>er 1st. found 250
college boys taking the oath of allegiance to Uncle Sam, fired with the enthusiasm of the
supposed bloody future before them and ready for any fate tluit might l)efall them. The
first adventure befell them at once. It was mess — the first of a long succession of the best
stuff Uncle Sam ever fed a rookie. The memories of it — (Jh Boy !
Captain Tooze made an ideal Comnumding Officer. He was thorough. (|uick to act
and to accomplish. His strict discipline and manly qualities asserted themselves in the
impartial manner in which he conducted his cantonment. He knew just what to expect of
a man and usually achieved it. One thing outstandijig concerning ('apt. Tooze which i:i
truly remarkal)le is the harmony and co-operation that existed between himself and the
college authorities.
1st I. lent. Charles H. Obye was appointed Senior Military Instructor, which capacity
he tilled until 1st Lieut. William Saunders was transferred to this unit from Camp Dodge.
Enough cannot be said in telling of the marvelous things which these men accomplished
(n such a short time, (^ne needs only to point to the bunch of green "awkwards"' on
October 1st and then turn to the men departing on December 15th — every man worthy to
be called a soldier of the U. S. A. Both officers had personalities that would bring the
best results from men in a short time. We will not soon forget Obye's knock-out sarcasm,
and Saunders" "Don" Move !"
We did not see much of Lieut. Fulton on the drill held, for his duties as Adjutant
kept him busy with the company papers. We can thank him for the promptness in getting
the various papers to lieadiiuarters on time and getting the pay-rolls back so quickly.
Lieut. Mershon was the leader <if the 4th Platoon, and he sure was all for us. Whenever
he took the men to the gym for a workout he was a "good scout"' as well as a "Lieu.v."
Lieut. Lewis, an expert marksman. was not able to teach us his fine art of shooting. A
site had been selected near the Palisades for a range, but just then the Armistice spoiled
all the fun. Capt. Hunter of the Medical Department deserves much credit for his work.
He has handled more than six thousand cases in the army without the loss of a single
life. At one time one-third of the company was on the sick list on account of the "Flu,"
but he brot us all thru safe and sound. "Xuf scd.""
Every man of us stands by every officer and every private in the com])any. There
has been a liond of fellowship between us that we can never forget. The barracks and
Infirmary are enipt.v, the (juarantines and limits of the caminis are forgotten, and the
"Hwuu, two. three, hfour"" is silent. The unpleasant memory of inconveniences will slip
away — but never that old pull of the real fellowship.

To the OtTicers and Men of (.'ornell Codeiie S. A. T. ('.:
It is with dee]) regret that District Headquarters sees the deniohilization nf these
units which, had the war continued, were destined to become such important factors
in the future of tlie American army. We feel a particuhir interest in Cornell Col-
lege for the reason that the harmony and co-operation existing there has been most
noticeable and has reduced the work of headquarters to a minimum so far as siiper-
visidu was concerned.
The writer personally had occasion to visit your unit, and was much impressed
with the morale and military courtesy and discipline exhibited by the men. This
speaks well both for the officers and men, individually aiul collectively. Vou have
been soldiei's in the service of the Ignited States: you have done your duty a> sii!-

HE poets argue that iiothiDg is worth wliile unless it lias the presence of woman
to sanction it, and her personality to inspire and elevate it. Certainly these
poetic flights of fancy must hold true in regard to the feminine supporters of the
Cornell S. A. T. C. How much their splendid cooperation contributed to the suc-
cess of the Cornell student-soldier army can never be definitely ascertained, but
it is certain that their influence was one of the most potent factors in creating
and maintaining the morale of the organization.
From the very first they showed how completely they were with their soldier comrades
in spirit. The occasional dates so easily snatched on the campus at odd intervals were
some of the few bright spots in the rookies' first monotonous days of quarantiue. Soon
the "Flu" epidemic made its insignificant but nevertheless indefinitely prolonged attack.
Here the girls displayed their kindred spirit by voluntarily afflicting themselves with the
same spraying mixture meted out to the men. Some of the most loyal ones even went so
far as to contract symi)atlietic eases of the despised disease.
Then came the mutual rejoicing when quarantine restrictions were eventually lifted,
and infatuated couples during the few sweet hours of liberty could again wander at random
on moonlit evenings, far beyond the irksome restraints of the all too popular and populous
campus. When on a Sunday evening the rank and file of the company were confined to the
interior of the library for purposes of intellectual improvement, the rookies will never
forget how soothingly the gentle strains of female voices dispelled their army cares. The
courageous condiict of these gentle serenaders cannot be lauded too highly : not a single
private in the battalion would have dared to risk the wrath of his superiors by such a
breach of discipline as these undaunted singers so daringly perpetrated. On public occa-
sions likewise the fair co-eds exercised their vocal talents in demonstration of their
sympathetic spirit. Not a single instance can be cited where they did not unanimously
and enthusiastically respond to the marching songs and rollicking campaign lyrics so
vociferously harmonized by the khaki section at chapel assemblages.
But the occupants of the seats in the gallery of the chapel auditorium were not con-
tent merely to accompany the soldiers in their more joyous moods and leisure moments.
The staunch band of co-eds were determined to share in the more rigorous, stern realities
of the actual training and daily routine. They demanded a cadet company of the fairer
sex. and under the command of Captain Tooze, Lieutenant Obye. or any other officer who
could free himself from encumbering duties at their drill hour, they proceeded to master
the intricate details of the Infantry Drill Regulations. So rapid was their progress and
so efficient their organization that their fame spread over the entire state, and they be-
came noted as the Cornell Battalion of Death.
Here's to you, girls ! You have proven yourselves true comrades.

HEN a certain hopeful and promising
aggregation of prospective college
leaders, namely the class of 1920, erup-
ted upon the campus, it found Cornell
the peaceful, academic asylum of
youth, characteristic of the good old
days before the war. Those were the days
when the tug of war was an event — one in
which the class of 1920 was gloriously trium-
jihant — when interclass athletics were of tre-
mendous importance, and when society ban-
quets were still in existence. Then one could
eat bread and sugar at Bowman Hall and Her-
shey bars cost but five cents ! Yes, and Cornell
beat Coe in that year.
The roars of the great conflict were scarce-
ly audible ir. Cornell's scholaristic seclusion,
and were actually forgotten when the school
was gripped in the throes of the scarlet fever
epidemic. In the spring of that year, war, like
a mad locomotive, crashed into the peaceful
college life and shattered it into dazed frag-
T]B ^ ments. The class of 1920 entered their Sopho-
^ ■ more year with many men gone from their
ranks, as also from the ranks of the other
classes, while the remainder tried to hold to-
gether college life. Through the changed and
trying circumstances of a college career under
these conditions, the class of '20 pursued its
capal:)le way with uncomplaining efficiency. Itkept Cornell intact.
And now that peace has come again, the Junior class takes up the task of
restoring all things to normal. It has the right and privilege, as well as the
ability, to reconstruct college life, from the war-time to peace basis. Having
been here both before and during the transition period, it is best fitted to unite
the new elements with the old, and pass on to the two oncoming classes the
modified customs and standards of old Cornell. And the fact that Cornell has
profited by this chaotic and bewildering martial experience, rather than suf-
fered by it, is largely due to the integrity of the Junior class, who "saw it
through."

CoACir DOSEFF
Ivan Doseff, graduate of Chicago University and All-W'cstcrn tackle in
1907. has l)een the cornerstone of Cornell Athletics this year. In the face of
seemingly unsurmonntable difficnltics he developed a creditable football team
out of green freshmen material, with only two old men as a nucleus. He has
])ro\cd himself to be an admirable basketball coach and we arc certain that
he will <lisi)la\' the same ability in managing spring sport. We like you,
C oach, and hope _\ ()n nia_\- be with us next \'ear.

EKOKE the foniiing of the "C" Club, the athletic uien of Cornell had no
organization which would spur them on to uphold the honor of the school
and attain the highest efficiency in athletics.
Cornell, in the last few years has made great strides in athletic activ-
ities and one of the movements which marked progress was the organizing
of the "C" Club. Membership in tliis club is limited to those athletes who
have won a "C" in any one of the four major sports. The "C" men. as
they are called, meet the high scliool students who come here to compete in inter-
scholastic track meets and basketball tournaments. They extend to these men a hand
ot friendship, and impress on them the spii'it of clean sportsmanship which is of
the highest order at Cornell.
In spite of the disorganizing eifect of the war on liigh scliuols and colleges, the
"C" Club, with the loyal support of the student l)ody and members of the faculty,
carried to a success the second high school baski'tball tournament. One hundred
seventy men, representing seventeen schools I'esponded to our invitation to compete
for the three Silver Loving Cups offered as prizes. The students of Cornell College,
in their reception and entertainment of these guests again upheld the ti'aditions of
the old scliool for hospitality. The expression of appi-eciation given l)y these visit-
ors bespoke their gratitude, — and leads us to hope that many will be attracted here
for college training.
The "C" Club banquet is one of tlie social events of the yeai', and for a lady to
be invited by one of these hei'oes. who has fought many a battle to a victory, or even
a defeat, is an honor second to none in Corui'll ciivlcs.
Xot only have the Cornell men proved their (ighiing spirit on the athletic field,
but also in the training camp and on the battle fields of Fi'ance. Tlic ••(''■ Club is
greatly honored by having as members such magnificent men who have eidisted in
the great war, several of whom paid the supreme sacritice on the Altar of Democracy.
Such men as these places this Club on a solid foundation where its influence will give
the "C" men of future years a feelhig of I'esijonsilulity and an appreciation of clean
sportsmanship which will )jc ]»romincnt in all of their \ari('(l acliviiies.

OOKIXG back on the football season just past and considering the turbulent
events of the \var that were taking place in our national affairs just at this
time we can gladly say that we are justly proud of the men that repre-
sented Cornell on the gridiron. We are proud of the football men who
chose to serve our country at home and abroad and in serving it they glori-
fied Cornell and her spirit, by proving their worth and her pride in them.
The beginning of the season found Cornell with just one veteran, but a
good one and we were thankful for that. Several of the last year's Freshmen who
reported for practice made good and the new coming S. A. T. C. material, all first
year men, had a sprinkling of good men. From the start we found all college ac-
tivities, especially athletics, sacrificed for the greater cause, more so than in some
sister colleges, and we found our men battling against odds in the majority of our
games.
The opening game with Iowa was played in a wet, slop])y field; our men, greatly
outweighed, battled like veterans. Sanderson and Gowans at tackles working with
new guards and midget ends, proved their worth. Hennen, a Freshman, playing
center, did wonderful defensive work.
With one game gone and experience gained, our yearlings met Coe at Cedar
Rapids October 28th, and played them to a tie. With a veteran backfield and equally
experienced line, Coe was unable to score. The game showed a marked iuiprovenient
in our backfield.
In the Great Lakes game our men met men of experience, some of them
of national reputation. Outweighed by at least twenty pounds to the man, opposed
by giants, our ends and backfield midgets gritted their teeth and went to it. You
Cornellians, old and new, if you were on the sidelines watching that game you would
have felt proud. Just think ! Those Jackies, some ten thousand of them from all
over the states, wound up by yelling for Cornell. "You have got a gritty team" was
said time and time again.
Augustana played at Mount Vernon with a well balanced team, and defeated
Cornell the last few minutes of the game.
The second Coe game, played at Mount Vernon, proved to be a comedy of er-
rors. Three days before the game Cornell sent eight of her best men to Camp Pike
and Camp Grant. The absence of Hennen, Gowans, Hedges, Johnson, Curtis, and
Collard of the regulars, handed an easy victory to Coe.
But realizing that the weakness of the team was because of her national loyalty,
Cornell refuses to feel disappointed in the 1918 season.

r^^RIWO bundles of energy — sliriU whistle — silence — roar — thrill — what? Bas-
^J^M The season opened with four old uien reporting for practice, Sanderson,
Byerly, Hedges and Kidder. Hnrlburt, star forward of last year's Frosh
team was also out for the first call for candidates. Within a tew weeks
Kepler returned from an officers' training camp and at once got into action.
Captain Lemon finally received his H. D. from the Great Lakes and then
last year's prospects were all back but Hoadley.
The Basketball season of 1918-19 can be considered a success — winning 7' games
and losing 5. One of these by a one point margin. The first game was with the
Officers' team of Camp Dodge — Cornell being victorious by a 26-16 count. The
following week Des Moines was beaten 23-8, and Coe slipped a 26-25 defeat to Blue
and Gray.
The following week-end the team journeyed to Cedar Falls and Dubuque, tak-
ing both games, the first from the State Teachers' 25-23 and from Dubuque 23-17.
It was the Dubuque game that put Byerly out for the season with a bad knee.
The following week saw Grinnell succumb to a 31-16 tally, Imt a jinx seemed to
then strike, for three games were lost in quick succession — Simpson 37-19, Did^uque
22-17, and Iowa 23-6. To offset such disheartening circumstances, the team over-
came Simpson 26-21 and tromeling Grinnell came back with a 40-15 scalp under
their belt.
The last game — in Coe Gym — with 300- Cornellian rooters present, the Coeites
pushed a 29-23 defeat onto Cornell. This gave Coe a call for the State Champion-
ship and Cornell third or fourth place.
With the exception of Byerly the men came through the season in fine shape,
although Kidder played in the Coe game with a very bad ankle. Of the varsity
material for next year are Milholin, Ensign, Browning, Hogie, and Sones. Of the
old men, Byerly and Lemon are lost by graduation, and with Sanderson, Kepler,
Kidder, Hurlburt and Hedges left Coach Doseff bids fair to have a Conference
championship team for 1919-20.

1918 SaB^ball BtUBm
X lit] 7', Cornell took the state championship in baseball. In 1918 she lost
seven out of a possible eight games. From a point of victories, last year's
baseball season was a dismal failure; from a patriotic standpoint, it was a
war-time success and as such we can be dul}^ proud. Seemingly uiitimely
enlistments left the Cornell nine hopelessly crippled at the very outset of a
hard season.
When Sherm Finger sounded "First Call" for the 1918 baseball season,
nineteen men turned out for formation. Thirteen of these were rookies. The
other six, who had seen service, were Captain Cot Etter, Skin Grigsby, Jum Hoadley,
Scoop Hedges, Stub Hartwell, and EoUin Baird. It was hardly expected that Stub
would appear in spring sports on account of the ankle which he hurt during foot-
ball season but military necessity demanded his presence before the season had pro-
ceeded far.
None of the veterans who responded to that first roll call had aspirations for
honors in the mound position or behind the bat. Various and sundry Freshman
batteries appeared on the scene but none seemed to quite fill the need. ISTone of
them seemed to measure to the Byerly-Hughes combination of the previous year,
nor was any such battery found during the season. It finally resulted in the brunt
of the pitching falling on Lemon Avho was finally drafted into the game. Jimmie
Ballz worked out behind the bat, while Ditto and Less Moore assisted with the pill-
heaving.
The season was formally opened at Iowa on the tenth of April. It was here
that the first disaster came. It was 17 to 2. Jum Hoadley pounded out a homer
in the seventh, which was the surprise of the game.
Paffe Ninety-three
The first liame on the home pasture was also with Iowa, the next week. The
final loss was G to 3.
On the eighteenth, I)uhu(|ue took us on, 17 to 5.
A week later, the twenty-fifth, we went up to Cedar Rapids to see Coe. We
were in a terrihle condition. Cot and Jmn had enlisted in the tank service, and
Baird was on the Ijench. As a result Chambers, Sanderson, and Hart well went into
the game. The team seemed to take a ucav lease on life in spite of their misfor-
tunes, and came out on top in an extra inning. 11 to 10.
The next game was with Ames on April 27. and went their way 8 to 2. The first
five sessions at bat went to 0.
On the fourth of May. Coe was avenged for her former defeat — tunc 10 to 7.
CornelFs hits were scattered and all came at the wrong tiuie.
On the tenth we dropped one of the closest games of the season to Ames by a
score of 4 to 2.
The last game of the season was a third one with Coe and was sti'ged at Cedar
Rapids. It went to the up-river boys 11 to 4.
Thus the season ended : one victory, seven defeats : 36 runs for the home team
against 83 for the opponents.

The 1918 Track Season
("apt. S.mith
The track season of 191S began with but three veterans in the line-iip. They were
Torrance and K. Smith for the distance runs and Hehner for the hii^li .lump." How-
ever, under Sherm"s coaching a good track team com]iosed mostly of Freshmen, was de-
veloped in time for the Iowa meet. On April 14th Iowa brought one of the Viest teams she
has had in years, defeating Sherm's men 95 to 41. K. C. Smith won the half mile. Hurl-
burt led in the tiuarter for 400 yards, but lost. Lemon placed second in the high hurdles
and third in the low hurdles. In the field events Sanderson took the shot put, heaving
the pill 43 feet 9 inches and also took third place in the discuss.
The next event was the Drake Relays. Cornell sent a team composed of Torrance,
K. C. Smith, Browning and Hurlburt. They copped second place for the sixth time in as
many years.
Next came the animal home meet with its usual contriliution of dark horses from all
four classes. K. C. Smith had just left for the Army, leaving a place hard to fill. The
Freshmen showed real vinegar by walking olT with 91 points, leaving only 68 for the
other three classes. The Juniors insisted on having second place, while the Seniors and
Sophs tied for third. 0"Neil pulled down individual honors, scoring 25 points.
' 1? Conference meet (irinnell won first with 61 points, Cornell second with 38 and
Co^ ^iird with 36. O'Neil again showed up well, winning 14 points, placing second for in-
dividual honors. He won first in the shot-put and discuss, second in the high .jump and
fourth in the high hurdles. De la Rue came in third in the 100 yard dash. Torrance first
in the mile, Browning second in the half mile and Hurlburt fourth in the 440.
No team was entered in the State meet, because the men being mostly Freshmen, were
ineligible.
The last event of the season and the most successful was the Coe Dual meet at Cedar
Rapids on Saturday. May 25th. Going contrary to all predictions. Cornell Won easily
89 to 38. taking eleven firsts while Coe succeeded in placing more than one man in only
one event. Peisen of Cornell won individnal honors, capturing three firsts and one second,
totaling 18 points. He was first in the 100 and 220 yard dashes, first in the broad jump
and second in the discus.
Frentress of Coe was second as individual point winner with 11 points to his credit.
Browning won the mile and half mile, running two iiretty races. Hehner won the
higli hurdles and high jump. Burch the two mile race, and Sanderson the shot-put. O'Neil
got first in the discus, Hurlburt second in the 440 with Dee coming in for third. De la Rue
took third place in both dashes, Lawrence second in the low hurdles, and .Tolinson second
in the pole vault, reaching 10 feet.
Coj ^ -)ing the inroads made upon the ranks of the cinders pounders by army en-
listmeni /the track season of 1918 was on the whole a successful one.

Miss Hutchi.xso.n Miss Spuegix
Last November when ^lacLeod left her work at Cornell as head of the
Women's Physical Training Department, to enter war service, the girls enrolled in
gymnasium classes were sadly disappointed. ?ler strong personality and wholesome
influence were inspirations to them, incentives to be at tlieir best.
A competent successor was found in ^liss Hutchinson, who cjuickly won her
way in the hearts of the hundred and odd girls in the department, partly because
of her winning i)ersonality. })artly l)ecause oi' her lUKU'uiable pi-olieiency in the work.
Miss Spurgin who ably assisted Miss MacLeod for two years, continued her
teaching with Miss Hutchinson. The girls work persistently and cheerfully when
Miss Spurgin is coaching them on the baskctb;ill Hdor or teaching them in the daiu--

Women's Athletic Association
Two years ago last fall the Cornell Women's Athletic Association sprang into
being. It was organized to keep alive the enthusiastic spirit then being shown in
Women's Athletics. Membership is reserved for wearers of the "C's," these being
presented by the association in recognition of unusual ability in the physical train-
ing department. Athletic rules as well as awards are made by the body.
Every girl who plays on the courts, every girl who points her toe, every girl
who receives skinned elbows on the basketball floor, every girl who chases across the
field gritting her teeth as she swings the hockey stick — every single one of these
hitches her wagon to a "C,'' and aspiring such, works faithfully and happily at
these activities.

All Star Basketisall Team
The 1918 Basketball Season
An abundance of good material turned out for basketball in the Fall, so there
was strong competition for positions on the class teams. With two exceptions, the
old Junior team came back to uphold their honors as Seniors. This thev did in their
first game by giving the Juniors a trouncing to the time of ."i'^-lo.
The Sophomore-Freshman game M'as a real scrap, ending in a 10-8 defeat for
the Freshmen. The championship game was hard fought, but the superior team
work and basket shooting of the Seniors won the cup for them.

The Y. W. C. A.
"Eacli for all, and all for each," has been the motto of the Cornell V. ^\'. (". A.
for the last year. Eacli girl has felt that she is not only a ]iart of the local organ-
ization, bnt of the international Y. W. C. A. Xot only have the association Bihle
classes presented the call of the present world task, bnt there have been an unusually
large ni;niber of joint meetings with the Y. M. C. A., at which representatives of
the Centenary Movement spoke. Most important of all, in broadening the horizon
of every student, was the Centenary Convention held here, at which there were
delegates from the Methodist colleges of four states, Xehraska, South Dakota,
Minnesota, and Iowa. Thus, as the need of each country was more clearlv under-
stood, the heart of each girl has reached out to France and Bi'lgium, to India and
China.
But the Cornell girl has not only been thinking of future servit-e in foreign
countries. She has organized successful Kiglit Weeks Clubs; she has gone to
neighboring villages to share with -the High School girls there the insjiiration which
has conu' to her; she lias atteiuled tbc class organized for the study of tbe probleuis
of the social worker. She has learned that service l>egins here and now.
the eani|ius. tbe association has stood foi' the liesi kind nf good times. Be-
>i(les the annual reception for new girls held in i^iw man Hall parlor, there were
the all-stndent parties in which the ^'. W. ('. A. ami the W. S. (i. A. joined forces

What dues the ilhie Triangle stand fur at Cornell r There as everywhere, it
stanils for the trained heart, the tiained mind, the trained band, all devoted to the
.■service of Christ, the center of all.

The Y. M. C. A.
The Y. M. C. A. as a college institution was not conspicuous as such during
the first term of the present school year. The S. A. T. C. organization, which be-
numbed numerous regular college activities, was destructive to the work which
the Y. M. ordinarily undertakes at that time. Being at it was a branch of the
military service, it was administered by Secretary Harold A. Smith, who came here
from Camp Dodge. He furnished the men the necessary entertainment, established
the movies in the chapel, provided the pamphlets furnishd by the Army Y. M. C. A.,
and stood by the men in every way. An evidence of his good work is the fact that
the college deemed him necessary and retained him after the S. A. T. C. was
demobilized.
The second term opened with a gradually increasing number of the old men
returning. The Cabinet had been elected and early in the term the appointive
offices were filled. Plans were at once made to "carry on" in the same manner as
in former years. However, it was realized that the Y. M. must present a religious
program that was more real, more vital, and more genuine than had ever been at-
tempted before.
The regular Thursday night and the Sunday morning discussion groups have
been struggling to re-define and revitalize the type of Christianity the men live.
It was the earnest desire of those most interested in the Y. M. to have everv
man a member, and to give that member the advantages of group discussion, that
his vision might be broadened, that there might be a life purpose established, that
the same Christ spirit which is striving to exist between nations would exist on
Cornell's campus.

The Pep Club
The Pep Club since it first originated in tlic Fall of has been the chief
upholder of the true spirit that works for the best interests of Cornell. Always
working- under high pressure the Pep Club found it necessary to apply double pres-
sure this Fall and fill the places made vacant by war demands. The Club with
ranks filled once more and with the wholesome optimism and downright hard work
adequately fulfilled the needs of the football season by arranging mass meetings.
The return of the old members found the Pep Club full of the old time pep-
per as was amply shown by the New Year's Stunts which buried the tragedies of
the old year ancl propiiesied great things for the future by the marriagi' of Miss
Loyal Cornellian to Mr. Would-Be-Successful New Year.
The advent of the Student Council made the Pep Club a thing of the past.
At all times ready and willing to take u]) the suggestions offered to aid every ))ub-
lic benefit, and realizing the greater possibilities in the Student Council, the Peji
Club gladly made the supreme sacrifice and boosted for the Sttuleiit Council. The
Club celebrated the dishandment in an altogether fitting and in'opcr way bv a ban-
quet at the Montrose and box seats at the Majestic-.
The Pep Club will always be rcmcuibrrcd as the gencratdr of the I'ep which
brought into action tiie Coi-uell spirit — always working Inr a greater Cornell.

PiUlf On,- Iliiiuln-J-fifty-t'iiir
The W. S. G. A., organized two years ago under tlie name of the Women's
League, lias progressed notably this year. Every girl is a member, not only in fact,
but also in spirit. This spirit, which is that of the honor system represented by this
organization, has pervaded every corner of the campus, relieving the faculty of a
great deal of worry.
The big all-school Hallowe'en Party, held in the gymnasium, was the work of
the W. 8. G. A. In co-operation with the Y. M. C. A., they put on the Season's
party. On account of the late opening of school, tlie annual Pal picnic for all the
girls was postponed until spring. In tlie spring, too, comes the annual Girls" Grex.
Besides these festivities, the Association has been busy with matters of gov-
ernment. Bowman Hall is combined with the town districts for the first time this
year, and is governed by the same body. This system insures justice for all and
will prove a permanent part of the organization.
The ^Y. S. G. A. is known outside of Cornell circles. It has applied for mem-
bership in the Mid-Western Intercollegiate Association for Women's Self Govern-
ment. The president of our association was a guest at the annual meeting of the
Intercollegiate Association last year.

There has never been a year in the history of the Royal Purpel publication
when so many obstacles have opposed the Annual. The absence of Cornell's best
men, the al)rupt interriiption of the S. A. T. C, the abnormal prices charged for
material, the unrest and insecurity of every college organization — all have con-
spired to make the task next to insurmountable.
The Staff has been on the job from morning until night every day. It is due
chiefly to their concentration and consistency, even at the sacrifice of their own
interests that the 1920 Royal Purple has been made possible.
We wish to place the credit where it is due, and want to express our apprecia-
tion for their effective co-operation.

mot on Friday afternoon, Jainiary 17. to (li.-<cuss the i)ossihilities of foruiin.ij a local
(•liai)ter of the ("o-'^niopoiitan ("lub. The asseiuliiy was nnaninioiisly in favor of the idea,
and after due consideration proceeded to form thenisclvcs into sncli a cluli. elect officers
and ajijioint a constitution committee.
The first rci^iilar meetini; of the cluh was held I''ebruary 11. with an address by Dr.
Flint as a "curtain raiser." The club meets bi-monthly and considers t'iin?;s of an in-
ternational interest. Its motto is "World ("itizenship. ' A lively interest has been shown
in the club. It now has a nuMnbership of over sixty I'cprcscntin.ir the followiui: thii-teeu
coiudries: United States. Canada. I'liirland. France Russia. Xorwa,\-. .Ia]ian. China.
India. Chili. Holivia. I'anama and St. Thomas Islands.
The idea of a Cosmopolitan Club was oriirinated in the I'nixcrsity of Wisconsin about
sixteen years a.iro when tlu> forei.iiu students at that universit.\' formed such a club. The
idea spread to othei- colle.ires until it is now nation-wide, and has sent a representative
to the peace confei'cnce in I^urope.

The Student Council
-1*
For years Cornell has felt the need of an organization. whciUy representative of the
student body, which might more closely unite the students, voice tlieir opinions in the in-
terests of the school, and help promote that old traditional Cornell spirit. It was to meet
tliis need that tlie "Cornell Student Body" was created.
Four officers and sixteen Council Members were elected March 8. 191!). witli Rollin
Baird as President. In order to insure the election of more competent and mature leaders,
membership in the Council was taken oidy from the Junior and Senior classes — they being
better acquainted with botli tlie problems and traditions of tlie college tlian the Sophomore
and Freshman classes. Tlie Junior members will continue to hold office in the next
school year.
The duties of this Student Body though not yet clearly detined, shall be as varied as
are the interests in the school — touching upon athletics, debating, religion and vocational
conferences, in addition to the less favorable duty of exercising self-government.
It may even be possible that a friendly relationshii) with Coe he establislied in the dim
and distant future tlirough tliis group. The Student Council which achieves this desirable
end may rightly feel rewarded for its efforts, and .lustified in its existence by the accom-
plishment of this one thing.
Although the Council is just organized, the momentum already attained will bear wit-
ness to the success of this organization. The favor with which it has met, both in the
eyes of the students and the faculty, and the enthusiasm of its members present every hope
of it filling a large place in the future Cornell.

What a College Prof. Said About a Melon
'Twas in the autunin of 1!I1S. The air was becoming- terse with the eoming of
winter. The roads over the coiiiilry were in the very best of condition, and bicycles
I were much in common.
J The evening which the writer has in mind was bahny, and the air was tinged
' with the desire to do some foul, underminded wrong. A Professor residing within
I the city limits of Mt. Vernon, decided that he would risk his life and fortune in try-
j ing to commit some of tlie aforesaid deeds. Wliereupon he left the (luietude of Mt.
! Vernon, and sought refuge in the open country air to relieve liis pent-up feeling or
doing something rash and mean.
A watermehin patch was along the roadside. A farm house stood a few rods
( in tlie distance. Shall I take from tlie patch or shall I take from the farmhouse
' which stands a few rods in the distance y The latter method seemed to strike the
fancy of this college Professor so he ventured to the house, saw the biggest inrlon.
took the biggest melon, and departed.
A few minutes passed. The Professor was going down the road on his bicycle.
The farmer who resided in the farndiouse saw the Professor leave his yard with a
melon.- The farmer hastened after the Professor. The farmer overtook the Pro-
I fessor. Words were exchanged. The Professor who had been riding the bicycle
was very much embarrassed, and said that he could not be placed under arrest be-
cause he was a Professor in Cornell College. The farmer was very angry and de-
manded the college Professor should say something. Whereupon the Professor who
had been riding the bicycle, and who had seen the melon ])atch by he road-side, and
who had seeii the farmhouse and the melons in the yard, and who had ventured into
the farm-yard and had picked up a melon said — sed — sedately, paid the farmer $"^.T5,
I that he had received from teaching the young mvu of Cornell College, that thev
should taste not, handle not, nor toiich not.
Jokes The Faculty Have Made Famous

"Walla ! Walla ! The Monster-Menagerie — the magnificent, dazzling, spec-
tacular 23ortrayal of the climatic carniferons animals de la Universe. Each cage
exhibits tlie onhj living specimen in captivity — every species captured at monstrous
loss of life and expenditure of effort in the impenetrable jungles of the campus. Be-
hold ! Ladies and Gentlemen. Prepare your consciousness for eye-splitting, hair-
elevating, brain-staggering sights never yet encountered by even the most disillu-
sioned imagination of mortal man.

Xow here Ave are, most favored Ladies
and fortunate Gentlemen at the first of the
unbelievable inentalitv-reeling" exhibits. Your
eyes are even at this moment bulging forward
to meet the insurmountable, unattainable
over-topping Byerly species. 'Phis specimen
is a distant descendant from a brancli of the
giraff family. Even so one would never
guess this relation to the giraff from tlie fe-
male type you see before you.
\\\' pass now, dear general ])ublic, to the
next victim of amazement. Tliis specie's is
chaiacterized chiefly by the wildness of the
female in contrast to the male. It cost the
terrific sacrifice of the l)udding youthful lives
of three staunch, heroic nuirtyrs to ensnare
and fina'dy capture her for this exhibit. Af-
t;'r she was captured and carried ott'. how-
ever, it was all very simple — the male fol-
lowed devotedly by her side.
Arriving upon this sacred and inviolable
position of intelligent and strategic observa-
tion, gentle pursuer of knowledge, we sto])
with a])preciative interest. This is the well
known and justlv fauu)us C'hassell. This
species is noted for its delight in seclusive-
nes'^ far from the haunts of civilized man.
These aninutis are often found marooiu'd at
the Clilf ffouse with no boat after in ::?() at
night. Let us ])ass on ipiickly. for you see
tliev are becoming uncomfortably endiar-
rassed.

And now turning to tlie left and scrutin-
izing our glance in an "out-drop" around that
huge tent-pole, let me inveigle you to cogitate
upon this pin-headed (I mean Needle-
lieaded) Lahman specie. This is veritahly a
liandsome speciment, very mild, even-tem-
pered and ossimistic. The female has a con-
tinuous battle with others to keep possession
of her true mate.
And now our optics protrude in wide hor-
ror of astonishment at this next exhibit.
You probably have not been aware. Oh retro-
gressing geologists in the audience, that
there has ever been a monster of tliis mam-
moth size since the advent and departure of
the relicated Dinosauers of pre-historic ori-
gin. But this relative of the elephant family
was ac'tually discovered roaming the intrica-
cies of our campus underbrush. And do not
fail to note his l)old and open-to-tlie-public
proposal to the female.
Come closer. Oh, thou Essence of hi-
quisitiveness, you cannot disturb this beast.
He is the ever-growling unarousable Hogle.
Readv with the crowbar there, George
Wake him up. Pry him upon his feet into
living consciousness. Ah! only a receding
cavei-nous growl. You'll have to wait until
the next exhibit, Ladies.
By wav of introduction, Delvers into
Romance, let me state that in all the realm
of fairy tales. Arabian Xights or melodra-
matic movies, will you ever find an animal so
statelv, dignified and striking in appearance
as this Richmond type? Mirabile dictu,
thev very seldom grace the thoroughfares of
civilized mankind. They can generally be
discovered in the l)ack-])arlor of the Gor-nly
House.

it has been accoaiplished by the head of the
Lui lla. They say nothing cowers lieasts into
submission so effectively as fire.
Behold and see, unquenchable Pleasure-
seeker, this fierce-eyed D. D. (Dick and

served on moonlight nights pacing to and fro
between Bowman Hall and Prexy's home.
This is the last of the descendants of the
Aboi'iginees of the Colonial Period. They
will soon be extinct, so take one last fond
look.
And coming noM' to a mysterious closed
cage, you are standing in tense, awed, vibrat-
ing silence before the hundred and fifty dol-

struction of architecture decorated superbly
with diamonds and Egyptian Deitie.s, encom-
passes the Ever-Ready Livermore. Kn-
sbi'ouded in the vapors of mysteriousity, his
unceasing fiow of consistent fussing has
exuded day by day from time immemoi-ial in
the Cornell Forest.
And this — don"t bang on the ropes, chil-
dren — is the most steepeil in rippling, crackl-
inn' humor of any exhibit in the entire show,
'i'his is it — the monkey house. This one on
tlie liubt — neai'est us. is the true Darwinian
missing link. He is half man — half monkey.
