History  of  the  Coat  of  Arms 

IN  choosing  the  armorial  bearings  for  Oglethorpe  University,  none  other 
than  the  famous  coat  of  arms  of  the  illustrious  General  Oglethorpe  was 
considered  and  adopted.  The  above  illustration  of  the  coat  of  arms  of 
General  Oglethorpe,  was  taken  from  an  old  book  in  the  Carnegie  Library  of 
Atlanta.  The  shield  consists  of  a  field  argent,  with  a  black  chevron  and 
three  boars'  heads,  two  heads  above  the  chevron  and  one  below.  It  is  sur- 
mounted by  a  larger  boar's  head,  with  a  green  twig  and  tusk  showing.  The 
motto  on  the  scroll  beneath  reads,  "Nescit  Cedere." 

The  original  coat  of  arms  has  remained  unchanged,  except  the  motto, 
"Nescit  Cedere,"  has  been  changed  to,  "Manu  Dei  Resurrexit."

My  Dedication 

By  Thornwell  Jacobs 


/ehovah,  God  of  Sabaoth,  to  Thee 

I  dedicate  the  labor  of  my  hands, 
I,  one  of  many  millions  of  all  lands, 

Pray,  bending,  Holy  Father,  at  Thy  knee. 

One  of  Thy  sculptors  lays  his  chisel  by 

And  searches  for  a  Master's  kindly  smile. 
From  Him  whose  guiding  hand  had  all  the  while 
Struck  every  blow  this  newest  tool  would  try. 

This  line  I  grave  that  all  who  read  may  know: 
Wherein  I  struck  for  that  whereof  I  dreamed. 

Thou  knowest.  Lord,  how  light  the  struggle  seemed, 
Aye,  Thou,  Whose  hand  alone  did  strike  the  blow. 

Of  some  I  heard:  "I  will  not!";  some,  "I  fear!" 
And  some  held  back  till  "Victory"  was  said, 

And  some  most  wisely  doubted  how  the  dead 
Could  ever  rise  from  out  her  sable  bier. 

So,  out  of  all  my  love  for  all  her  past, 
Out  of  my  deep  desire  for  what  should  be. 

There  came  this  wondrous  thing;  that  I  could  see. 
Yet  follow,  blind,  the  die  that  I  had  cast. 

But  surely  there  were  footprints  on  the  sand. 
And  everywhere  I  found  the  way  prepared 

By  Him  through  Whose  wise  whispers  I  had  dared 
To  hold  the  tool  He  fitted  to  my  hand. 

Ah,  Lord,  how  little  do  we  men  below 

Yet  understand  from  whence  Thy  footsteps  tread? 
Of  all  the  millioned  words  that  men  have  said 

What  one  reveals  the  whither  Thou  dost  go? 


Till  this  I  learned,  that  He  who  buildeth  well 
Is  greater  than  the  structure  that  He 

And  wiser  he  who  learns  that  Heaven  hears 
Than  all  the  wordy  wisdoms  letters  spell. 

For  once,  1,  helpless,  hung  upon  His  will. 
And  twice  1  waited,  hopeless,  for  His  word, 

Till,  lo,  the  wise  mulberry  leaves  were  stirred 
What  time  He  planned  His  promise  to  fulfill, 

]\Iy  mantle  for  my  God,  my  Oglethorpe, 
If  I  did  weave  thee  with  a  trembling  hand. 

The  virtue  of  Jehovah's  magic  wand, 
Lo,  this  the  shuttle  and  the  woof  and  w 

How  like  to  Him,  who,  walking,  dreamed  was  1, 
And  dreaming,  walked  beyond  some  Bethel' 

In  answer  to  the  angel's  kindly  tones 

That  bade  him  trust  their  ladder  to  the  sky! 

How  like  to  her  who  ventured  to  the  door 
Of  Persian  palace,  driven  and  afraid. 

Not  knowing  how  she  for  the  times  was  made 
To  wield  the  sceptre  that  she  trembled  o'er. 

How  like  to  him,  forthsummoned  as  he  bent 
Beneath  his  fig  tree,  musing  on  his  deed. 

To  marvel  when  he  learned  whereto  would  lead 
The  path  that  followed  where  his  Master  went 

Like  him  of  trembling  heart  who  fain  would  try 
To  tread  the  waters  of  a  stormy  sea. 

Amazed  that  waves  a  willing  path  could  be 
For  those  who  hear  the  whisper:     It  is  I. 

Aye,  like  to  him  who  trusting,  cast  his  net 
As  One  commanded  forth  into  the  deep. 

Wherein  the  Master  loves  and  yearnings  sleep. 
Wherewith  the  lines  that  lift  the  world  are  wet 


APOLOGIA 

IN  view  of  the  fact  that  the  fore- 
word to  a  college  annual  is  al- 
ways written  on  a  hackneyed, 
made  to  order  plan,  which  con- 
sists in  naming  the  obstacles  that 
have  been  encountered,  the  lack 
of  a  precedent,  the  enormity  of 
labor  expended  in  its  compilation 
and  the  hopes  for  its  success,  and 
in  view  of  the  further  fact  that 
the  Yamacraw  staff  is  anxious  for 
you  to  know  all  these  things,  but 
realizes  the  futility  of  getting  it 
read,  this  book  appears  without  a 
foreword.

Oglethorpe — An  Historical  Sketch 

ON  a  long,  low  ridge,  called  Midway,  near  Milledgeville,  Old  Ogle- 
thorpe grew  from  a  state  normal  training  school  into  an  historic 
university,  whose  renowned  halls  gave  Georgia  some  of  her  greatest 
men,  and  gave  the  world  our  own  Sidney  Lanier. 


Oglethorpe  College  was  formally  opened  in  1835  under  the  direction  of 
the  Synod  of  Georgia.  Princeton  College  had  been  growing  in  New  Jersey, 
and  was  largely  patronized  by  the  youth  of  the  entire  nation,  and  especially 
this  section  of  the  South.  Owing  to  the  long  distances,  which  must  be 
traveled  on  horseback,  it  was  suggested  that  a  college  similar  to  Princeton 
be  founded  in  the  South.  This  suggestion  materialized,  and  Oglethorpe 
College  was  the  outcome.  Old  Oglethorpe  was  the  first  denominational  insti- 
tution of  learning  to  be  founded  below  the  Virginia  line,  between  the  Atlantic 
and  Pacific,  and  we  justly  claim  that  she  was  the  mother  of  all  that  brilliant 
group  of  colleges  which  were  built  in  this  area. 

The  same  idea,  characteristic  of  the  New  Oglethorpe,  of  getting  men  of  the 
highest  educational  attainments  to  hold  professorships  is  revealed  by  such 
names'  as  the  following,  who  were  members  of  the  Oglethorpe  College 
Faculty:  Joseph  Le  Conte,  the  eminent  geologist;  James  Woodrow,  uncle  of 
President  Woodrow  Wilson,  Professor  of  Science;  Samuel  K.  Talmadge,  the 
brilliant  administrator,  and  many  others. 

The  facilities  of  Oglethorpe  College  were  as  good  as  could  be  had  at  that 
time.  The  main  building  was  considered  to  be  the  handsomest  in  the  South- 
east, and  "contained  the  finest  college  chapel  in  the  United  States,  not  except- 
ing Yale,  Harvard,  oi  Princeton." 


In  the  President's  office  today  may  be  seen  a  crayon  drawing  of  Sidney 
Lanier,  an  Oglethorpe  alumnus  of  world-wide  fame,  showing  him  when  he 
was  fifteen  years  old,  his  age  when  he  entered  college.  Hanging  beside  this 
picture  is  his  diploma,  bearing  the  name  of  the  then  president  of  Oglethorpe, 
Dr.  Samuel  K.  Talmadge.  We  do  not  hesitate  to  say  that  any  college  would 
pay  a  fabulous  sum  for  them,  if  the  honor  of  having  graduated  so  famous  a 
poet  could  be  included  in  the  bargain.    It  is  needless  to  say  that  we  value  the 


privilege  of  claiming  Lanier  as  one  of  our  alumni.  Some  day  there  will  be 
erected  on  the  Oglethorpe  campus  a  beautiful  memorial  building  to  him, 
our  foremost  and  most  distinguished  graduate. 

Shortly  after  the  graduation  of  Lanier,  the  Northern  and  Southern  States 
became  at  odds,  and  the  deplorable  Civil  War  followed.  Lanier  and  all  of 
his  college  comrades  who  could  qualify,  with  the  greater  number  of  the 
facuhy,  answered  the  call  of  the  South. 

Being  so  thoroughly  convinced  that  the  South  was  in  the  right,  and  so 
imbued  with  Southern  rights,  Oglethorpe  shut  its  doors;  her  student  body 
marched  away  to  meet  their  Northern  brothers.  Not  satisfied  with  furnish- 
ing all  of  her  available  man  power,  Oglethorpe  invested  her  funds  in  Con- 
federate bonds.  Her  beautiful  main  building  was  used  as  a  hospital  and 
barracks,  and  was  later  burned. 

An  effort  was  made  to  revive  the  institution  after  the  war,  but  the  dark 
days  of  the  reconstruction  and  the  insolvency  of  the  South  would  not  permit, 
and  after  a  couple  of  years  the  doors  were  closed  for  the  second  time.  But 
even  in  so  short  a  while  she  graduated  some  distinguished  men,  among  them 
a  governor  of  Georgia. 

Oglethorpe  died  at  Gettysburg,  where  she  meekly  bowed  to  the  victorious 
armies  of  our  brothers  of  the  North.  Old  Oglethorpe  lives  today  on  the 
pages  of  history  a  stainless  character,  determined  to  let  the  world  know  that 
she  was  true  to  the  principles  of  those  who  had  founded  her.  Of  all  the 
strong  colleges  on  the  American  continent,  Oglethorpe  alone  died  for  her 
ideal.  She  loved  the  lofty  conceptions  of  the  South.  And  this  spirit,  we  are 
proud  to  say,  has  been  inherited  by  the  Oglethorpe  of  today.  She  stands 
today,  like  the  impregnable  Gibraltar,  a  champion  for  right  and  justice  to 
all.  The  humblest  Freshman  is  given  the  same  consideration  as  the  highest 
officer.    Each  man  of  her  first  class  will  attest  that  fact. 

It  is  with  bowed  heads  that  we  recall  those  days  of  adversity,  when  Ogle- 
thorpe answered  the  call  of  the  stricken  South,  shut  the  doors  of  the  college, 
and  gave  freely  of  her  life  on  the  battle  fields.  Her  sacrifices  and  sorrows 
are  our  heritage,  and  today,  standing  in  the  full  dawn  of  her  renewed  youth, 


we  rejoice  with  our  Alma  Mater,  "whose  history  breathes  and  burns  in  legend 
and  in  story." 

Under  the  leadership  of  Dr.  Thornwell  Jacobs,  now  president  of  Ogle- 
thorpe University,  Old  Oglethorpe  was  resurrected.  Only  eight  years  have 
elapsed  since  he,  working  with  a  band  of  indefatigable  business  men  of 
Atlanta,  began  the  monumental  task  of  reviving  an  institution  which  had 
been  forgotten,  save  to  students  of  history.  The  resurrecting  process  was 
begun  in  the  face  of  the  greatest  war  in  which  man  has  ever  been  engaged. 
But  in  spite  of  financial  disaster  and  utter  turmoil,  Oglethorpe  has  forged 
ahead,  until  today  she  is  universally  and  favorably  known.  Her  subscrip- 
tions have  long  since  passed  the  million-dollar  mark. 


The  corner  stone  of  Oglethorpe  University  was  laid  on  January  21,  1916, 
with  her  truthful  and  triumphal  motto  engraven  upon  it:  "Manu  Dei 
Resurrexit."

\h 


As  good  fortune  would  have  it,  her  doors  opened  again,  this  the  third 
time  ("the  third  time  is  the  charm"),  in  September,  1916,  after  fifty  years  of 
rest  beneath  the  chairred  ruins  of  fratricidal  strife.  Her  first  magnificent 
building,  made  of  granite,  trimmed  in  limestone,  and  as  near  fire  proof  as 
human  skill  of  the  Twentieth  Century  could  make  it,  was  ready  to  welcome 
the  first  class  of  Oglethorpians.  A  Faculty,  every  member  of  which  held  the 
highest  degree  the  world  can  bestow  in  their  departments,  had  been  assembled. 

Following  the  first  building,  the  Board  of  Directors  have  made  plans  for 
erecting  fourteen  more  of  the  same  type.  As  Dr.  Jacobs  has  said,  "All  of 
this  has  been  done  in  the  midst  of  financial  distress  that  darkened  the  spirit 
of  the  whole  nation,  and  against  the  evil  influences  of  a  colossal  war,  which 
caused  the  very  joints  of  the  world  to  gape." 

The  resurrection  of  Oglethorpe  reads  like  a  romance.  Beginning  eight 
years  ago  with  a  subscription  of  $1,000,  Oglethorpe  soon  enlisted  the  sympa- 
thy and  friendship  of  a  great  number  of  liberal  Southern  patriots.  In  the 
President's  office  may  be  seen  today  several  huge  volumes  of  names,  each 
pledging  sums  ranging  from  fifty  cents  to  $50,000.  They  are  members  of  the 
immortal  Founders'  Club,  who  have  brought  Oglethorpe  thus  far,  and  who 


#1 


are  determined  to  stop  only  when  she  shall  have  equaled  in  true  greatness 
any  college,  anywhere.  All  of  these  names  are  to  be  compiled  into  one  great 
book;  the  name  of  this  book  is  to  be  the  Founders'  Book. 

The  contributions  from  founders  residing  outside  Atlanta  are  being 
separately  recorded,  to  be  used  in  establishing  memorial  professorships  or 
buildings  representing  each  Southern  State. 

In  this  short  sketch  of  Oglethorpe,  we  must  not  omit  that  most  potent 
force  and  staunch  friend.  The  Oglethorpe  Women's  Board,  the  purpose  of 
which  is  to  aid  the  University  in  every  wise  and  efficient  way.  They  have 
done  invaluable  work  for  Oglethorpe,  and  we  shall  always  have  a  deep  feel- 
ing of  appreciation  for  them. 

This  historical  sketch  could  be  carried  much  further.  Half  the  story  has 
not  been  told.  We  sincerely  hope  that  every  reader  of  The  Yamacraw,  who 
has  not  heard  the  interesting  and  wonderful  story  of  Oglethorpe  University, 
will  some  day  have  that  privilege.

The  Lupton  Gift 


THE  beautiful  building  given  to  Oglethorpe  by  Mr. 
and  Mrs.  J.  T.  Lupton,  of  Chattanooga,  Tennessee, 
will  contain  the  University's  library.  The  building 
is  now  in  process  of  construction.  It  will  be  built  of 
granite,  concrete  and  steel,  which  will  be  an  almost  fire 
proof  construction.  When  the  building  is  completed,  it 
will  be  one  of  the  finest  college  buildings  in  the  whole 
country.  The  gift,  which  was  given  in  memory  of  Mr. 
Lupton's  mother,  was  received  with  most  grateful  enthu- 
siasm by  the  Faculty  and  students  of  Oglethorpe,  because 
the  need  of  another  building  has  long  been  felt.

Board  of  Founders  of  the  University 


OGLETHORPE  UNIVERSITY  is  owned  and  con- 
trolled by  a  Board  of  Founders.  This  General 
Board  of  Founders  meets  once  each  year,  at  com- 
mencement time,  on  the  university  grounds  in  Atlanta,  to 
inspect  the  institution,  to  review  all  matters  of  large  im- 
portance in  the  life  of  the  University  and  to  give  directions 
to  the  Executive  Committee  which  is  elected  by  them,  and 
from  their  number,  and  which  will  look  after  the  details 
of  management  of  the  institution  between  the  meetings  of 
the  Board  of  Founders.  Each  member  of  the  Board  repre- 
sents a  gift  of  one  thousand  dollars  or  more  to  the  Uni- 
versity. 

Nothing  more  ideal  has  ever  been  proposed  in  the  man- 
agement of  an  institution.  It  is  already  in  operation  and 
its  perfect  practicability  is  largely  responsible  for  the 
marvelous  success  of  the  University. 


The  Oglethorpe  Women's  Board 

ONE  of  the  most  remarkable  gatherings,  even  in  this  city  of  remark- 
able gatherings,  was  the  assembling  of  approximately  two  hundred 
of  the  representative  women  of  the  city  of  Atlanta  at  the  home  of 
Mrs.  Thornwell  Jacobs,  November  25,  1916,  to  organize  a  Women's  Board 
for  Oglethorpe  University. 

The  purpose  of  the  Board  is  to  aid  the  University  in  every  wise  and 
efficient  way.  Already  more  than  three  hundred  of  the  finest  workers  and 
most  representative  women  of  the  city  have  joined  the  organization.  Their 
activities  are  directed  toward  the  support  and  development  of  Oglethorpe  in 
every  phase  of  its  growth  and  activities.  Each  of  the  ladies  is  assigned  to 
the  committee  on  which  she  feels  best  able  to  serve.  These  committees  cover 
the  various  departments  of  the  University. 

Officers  and  chairmen  of  the  various  committees  have  been  unanimously 
chosen  as  follows:

Oglethorpe's  First  Commencement 
Announcements 

OGLETHORPE'S  first  commencement  was  marked  by  a  series  of  sen- 
sational events  and  announcements.  At  the  banquet  preceding  the 
announcement  proper,  and  again  during  that  ceremony,  Dr.  Jacobs 
reported  that  the  University  for  the  first  time  was  out  of  debt,  that  it  had 
received  gifts  and  pledges  amounting  to  one  million  and  fifty  thousand  dol- 
lars, and  that  the  year  just  passed  had  witnessed  four  large  gifts  to  the  col- 
lege, fifty  thousand  dollars  for  a  stadium  from  Mr.  and  Mrs.  Harry  Hermance, 
a  gift  from  Dr.  Cheston  King  of  a  library  of  English  books  worth  about  twenty 
thousand  dollars,  a  gift  from  Mrs.  Lee  Ashcraft  of  band  instruments  worth 
one  thousand  dollars,  and  a  gift  of  about  twelve  hundred  dollars  from  the 
Oglethorpe  Women's  Board. 

The  new  stadium,  which  will  stand  near  Peachtree  Road,  south  of  the 
present  college  buildings,  will  be  the  finest  in  this  part  of  the  world,  and 
comparable  with  any  elsewhere. 

The  Cheston  King  Library  of  English  will  be  the  first  real  research  library 
to  be  established  south  of  Washington.  There  are  other  research  libraries, 
but  they  are  incomplete,  and  their  efficiency  lies  in  the  realm  of  future  hopes. 
Oglethorpe's  is  now  a  reality.  This  library  was  the  property  of  one  of  the 
most  distinguished  German  students  of  English,  the  late  Dr.  Victor  of  Mar- 
burg, in  Germany. 

The  band  instruments  given  by  Mrs.  Ashcraft  are  silver  plated,  and  up 
to  the  Oglethorpe  standard,  which  is  to  say  they  are  the  best  that  can  be 
procured. 

The  money  raised  by  the  Women's  Board  will  be  used  for  several  pur- 
poses, library,  campus  and  student  orchestra. 

Another  gift  of  a  year  ago  is  beginning  to  show  its  fruits  in  the  splendid 
blue-grey  granite  walls  of  Lupton  Hall,  the  second  of  the  permanent  univer- 
sity buildings,  now  about  half  finished. 

THE    COMMENCEMENT    CEREMONY 

One  of  the  most  beautiful  ceremonies  that  ever  marked  the  end  of  a  col- 
lege year  was  incorporated  into  the  church  service  at  the  Baptist  Tabernacle 
on  the  morning  of  Sunday,  June  sixth,  when  the  official  commencement  of 
Oglethorpe  took  place. 

The  first  degree  of  all  was  conferred  not  upon  a  student,  but  upon  a 
valiant  knight,  upon  a  gentleman  whose  father  was  a  trustee  of  the  old  Ogle- 
thorpe of  ante-bellum  days,  and  whose  uncle  was  there,  a  professor.  The 
gentleman  was  Woodrow  Wilson,  whose  gracious  letter  of  acknowledgment 
was  read  with  appropriate  remarks  by  Mr.  Edgar  Watkins,  Chairman  of  the 
Executive  Committee  of  Oglethorpe. 

Next  came  the  conferring  of  the  academic  degrees.  In  the  days  of  chiv- 
alry the  young  knight,  after  a  period  of  fasting,  bathed,  took  the  sacrament. 


^gMACRA^ 


and  then  kneeling  before  his  sovereign,  swore  to  protect  with  his  sword  the 
rights  of  the  helpless  and  those  who  could  not  defend  themselves.  The 
Oglethorpe  Seniors  took  no  oath  of  service,  but  Dr.  Vance,  in  a  powerful 
sermon  preceding  the  accolade,  pointed  out  the  old  truth,  ever  new,  that  a 
world  without  God  is  headed  for  disaster,  that  modern  society  needs  men 
who  cannot  do  without  God,  but  who  can  do,  when  necessity  demands,  with- 
out money  gains.  And  the  minds  of  the  audience,  flashing  ahead  of  Dr. 
Vance's  words,  added,  we  need  champions  to  defend  mankind  against  wrong, 
greed,  oppression,  avarice  and  political  cunning. 

Then,  as  education,  when  it  is  good  education  is  always  sacred,  the 
graduates  of  Oglethorpe,  in  caps  and  gowns,  came  to  the  pulpit  to  receive 
their  diplomas.  They  were  introduced,  the  graduates  in  the  humanities  by 
Dr.  Nicolassen,  those  in  literature  by  Dr.  Routh,  those  in  science  by  Dr. 
Sellers,  those  in  business  administration  by  Dr.  Libby  and  the  graduate 
students  who  had  attained  the  master's  degree  by  Dr.  Gaertner.  As  the 
President  handed  each  man  his  diploma,  the  man  kneeled  and  the  professor 
who  presented  him  threw  over  his  head  the  collegiate  hood. 

OTHER  HONORARY   DEGREES 

Honorary  degrees  in  divinity  were  conferred  upon  the  Rev.  Henry  D. 
Phillips  of  Sewanee  in  recognition  of  the  religion  of  General  Oglethorpe, 
who  was  himself  a  member  of  the  Church  of  England;  upon  the  Rev.  Clarence 
W.  Rouse  of  Newton,  New  Jersey,  in  recognition  of  the  Northern  Presbyterian 
Church,  and  of  the  fact  that  old  Oglethorpe  knew  no  Northern  and  Southern 
churches;  and  upon  the  Rev.  C.  I.  Stacey,  whose  connection  with  old  Ogle- 
thorpe forms  a  tie  binding  the  new  traditions  to  the  old  college. 

DISTINGUISHED    SPEAKERS 

The  sermon  preached  by  Dr.  Vance  of  Nashville,  President  of  the  Ogle- 
thorpe Board  of  Trustees,  was  one  of  the  most  eloquent  and  powerful  ever 
delivered  in  the  country.  Another  talk,  though  shorter  and  of  secular 
character,  made  a  mark  for  itself  in  the  annals  of  Oglethorpe,  the  ad- 
dress of  Mrs.  Harry  Hermance,  President  of  the  Women's  Board,  whose 
distinguished  and  graceful  personality  and  fresh,  inspiring  sentiments  will 
long  be  remembered  by  those  present. 

Other  distinguished  participants  in  the  ceremony  were  Rev.  Dr.  Flynn, 
who  won  the  official  representation  of  the  Presbytery  of  Atlanta,  Rev.  Dr. 
Ham,  pastor  of  the  Baptist  Tabernacle  and  Mr.  Sheldon,  city  organist  and 
organist  of  the  First  Presbyterian  Church  of  Atlanta,  who  with  Miss  Wood- 
berry  lead  the  music. 

The  Executive  Committee  of  the  Oglethorpe  Board  of  Trustees,  the  Exec- 
utive Committee  of  the  Women's  Board,  a  part  of  the  Faculty,  the  student 
underclassmen  and  other  officials  of  the  University,  occupied  the  choir  halls 
behind  the  pulpit  platform. 

Mr.  Warren  Maddox  of  the  Seniors  spoke  the  salutatory  address,  Mr.  Wil- 
liam Rhodes  Carlyle  the  valedictory.

Alma  Mater 


By  Thornwell  Jacobs 

Fair  Alma  Mater,  Oglethorpe, 

Thou  didst  for  others  die, 
And  now,  above  thy  broken  tomb. 

Thy  God  doth  lift  thee  high! 
For  He  doth  live  in  every  stone 

We  worthily  have  brought. 
And  He  doth  move  in  every  deed 
We  righteously  have  wrought. 

We  give  to  thee  our  lives  to  mold 

And  thou  to  us  dost  give 
Thy  life,  whose  pulse-beat  is  the  truth 

Wherein  we  ever  live. 
And  as  the  times  pass  o'er  our  heads 

In  this  we  shall  rejoice. 
That  we  may  never  drift  beyond 

The  memory  of  thy  voice. 

Fair  Alma  Mater,  Oglethorpe, 

Thou  didst  for  others  die. 
So  now  above  thy  broken  tomb 

Thy  Lord  uplifts  thee  high! 
To  all  thy  past  of  pain  and  toil. 

Thy  future's  brilliant  goal 
We  promise  loyalty  and  love; 

We  pledge  thee  heart  and  soul.

Senior  Class  History 


ITH  the  pious  devotion  of  "grown-ups"  of  our  Alma  Mater,  we, 
the  first  class  of  Oglethorpe,  greet  you! 

We  of  the  New  Oglethorpe  are  not  strangers  in  the  classic  his- 
tory of  the  South,  but  trace  our  proud  lineage  to  those  dauntless  men  of  the 
Old  South  who  gave  us  our  Alma  Mater,  and  to  whom  we  now  offer  our 
tribute  of  esteem  and  admiration. 

This  first  class,  with  the  exception  of  a  few  men,  began  their  labors  at 
Oglethorpe  in  September,  1916,  when  Oglethorpe  began  its  new  life  after 
a  lapse  of  fifty-one  years.  The  19th  of  September  found  sixty-nine  Fresh- 
men on  the  Oglethorpe  campus,  eagerly  seeking  the  Pierean  Spring.  To  this 
number  nine  Sophs  were  added  in  1917;  some  had  taken  the  "first  degree" 
at  other  colleges,  while  others  were  fortunate  enough  to  make  Dr.  "Nic" 
believe  that  they  had  done  sufficient  work  to  admit  them  to  the  Sophomore 
Class.  These  new  men  were,  H.  M.  Bonny,  J.  H.  Goff,  Jr.,  S.  I.  Golden,  W. 
Carlisle  Johnson,  N.  S.  McLeod,  J.  Render  Terrell,  Jr.,  I.  H.  Wender,  and 
J.  P.  Wilson.  In  1918  Oglethorpe  was  fortunate  enough  to  attract  the  atten- 
tion of  L.  N.  Turk,  Jr.,  who  came  to  us  from  Piedmont  College. 

The  proud  boast  of  this  first  Senior  Class  of  Oglethorpe  is  that  they  have 
never  bowed  their  heads  as  Freshmen  before  the  clippers  and  straps  of  a 
Sophomore;  we  began  our  days  at  Oglethorpe  when  there  were  no  such 
animals  here.  But  to  this  class  belongs  the  honor  of  initiating  the  first  gang 
of  Freshmen,  and  this  we  did  to  the  queen's  taste  in  September,  1917. 

When  1918  came,  and  we  found  ourselves  a  rung  higher  on  the  ladder  of 
college  life,  these  same  ruthless  fellows,  who  had  wielded  a  monarchical 
scepter  for  two  years,  found  that  they  were  compelled  to  surrender  their 
title  to  one  Lieutenant  Montgomery  G.  Potter,  an  eighteen-year-old  shave-tail, 
and  a  fellow  who  had  spent  only  one  year  in  college!  Imagine  the  crest 
fallen  appearance  of  these  one-time  monarchs  when  they  realized  that  they 
were  the  vassals  of  young  lieutenants.  But  this  state  of  affairs  was  terminated 
in  December,  1918,  when  the  S.  A.  T.  C.  disbanded.  January,  1919,  found 
us  all  back,  and  ready  to  resume  the  crown  we  had  been  forced  to  surrender. 

Though  we  do  say  it,  this  first  class  of  Oglethorpe  is  going  down  on  the 
pages  of  history  in  indelible  ink  as  greater  than  any  ever  graduated  from  the 
Old  Oglethorpe,  or  that  will  ever  be  turned  out  by  the  New,  which  has  been 
"Manu  Dei  Resurrexit."  In  our  small  number  there  are  men  who  have  taken 
active  part  in  every  form  of  student  activity. 


il 


In  basketball  we  have  been  represented  by  seven  men.  We  have  sent  out 
upon  the  baseball  diamond  six  men,  and  we  have  furnished  the  gridiron  six 
men.  At  the  last  Georgia  Tech  Field  Meet,  in  which  several  colleges  partici- 
pated, our  "Peter"  de  Jarnette  ran  off  with  the  hundred-yard  dash  medal. 
This  is  the  athletic  side. 

"Bill"  Carlisle  has  represented  Oglethorpe  in  two  debates;  "Jesse"  James 
in  one.  There  are  three  members  of  the  Senior  Class  who  have  been  made 
instructors  at  Oglethorpe.  They  are:  E.  Carroll  James,  Jr.,  Chemistry  and 
Biology;  T.  Powell  Moye,  Spanish,  and  J.  Render  Terrell,  Jr.,  English  and 
German. 

We  regret  that  space  prohibits  our  giving  a  full  history  of  this,  Ogle- 
thorpe's first  class.  If  you  desire  to  hear  the  rest  of  the  story,  ask  any  of 
our  number  when  both  of  you  have  plenty  of  time. 

Now,  as  to  our  good  friends,  the  Juniors.  To  you,  the  second  graduating 
class  of  our  Alma  Mater,  we  would  bequeath  the  joy  of  walking  the  "straight 
and  narrow  paths,"  hewn  out  by  this  august  body.  Every  foot  of  her  soil  is 
dear  to  us,  and  we  would  lay  upon  your  capable  shoulders  the  pleasant  task, 
so  long  our  own,  of  fighting  her  battles,  and  making  her  history  "worthy  of 
the  past  and  prophetic  of  the  future." 

In  taking  our  leave,  we  would  recall  the  unfailing  bond  of  sympathy 
that  has  existed  between  students  and  Faculty.  Our  lives  have  been  sur-. 
rounded  by  high  and  lofty  influences,  that  will  be  like  "signal  fires  on  the 
highlands,  calling  our  heroic  hearts  to  duty." 

It  is  our  proud  boast  that  the  Oglethorpe  training  has  tended  to  cultivate 
an  honest  and  manly  character,  and  it  is  the  cherished  ambition  of  the  alumni 
to  serve  their  college  and  nation  as  men  of  worth  and  stainless  patriots. 

We  are  conscious  of  the  dignity  and  proud  attitude  which  Oglethorpe 
presents  to  the  world  through  the  wisdom  of  our  President  and  Faculty  and 
the  devotion  of  the  student  body. 

Lastly,  we  pay  grateful  homage  to  the  steadfast  friends  of  Oglethorpe, 
who  have  enshrined  themselves  in  our  memories  by  their  munificient  gifts. 
J.  Render  Terrell,  Jr.,  Historian. 


i 


We  recollect  with  tender  hearts 
The  times  we've  spent  with  thee, 

Like  him  who  sorrows  e'er  he  starts 
To  sail  life's  untried  sea. 

We  know  and  feel  thy  spirit  bright, 

As  far  apart  we  roam, 
Will  prove  to  us  a  beacon  light 

To  guide  our  barks  safe  home. 

With  purpose  fixed  and  steady  aim 

e'U  strive  to  weave  our  warp, 
Reflecting  honor  on  thy  name. 
Our  dear  old  Oglethorpe.

"Kid"  Bonny,  better  known  as  "Iron  Man,"  planted  his  number  9  on  the 
verdant  Oglethorpe  campus  in  the  good  year  1917.  Since  going  to  his  first 
class,  "Kid"  has  always  refused  to  let  his  work  disturb  his  slumbers,  but  he 
has  pulled  through  with  flying  colors  just  the  same.  We  don't  know  what 
"Kid's"  future  intentions  are,  but  we  are  willing  to  give  odds  that  he  will  make 
good;  and  we  bid  him  good-luck.

President  Athletic  Association,  1917-18. 

"Cap"  Boswell  is  a  rare  specimen;  we  do  not  look  upon  his  like  every 
day.  He  began  his  career  in  a  little  broad  place  in  the  road  by  the  name 
of  Greensboro,  but  the  lad  soon  outgrew  this  little  burg,  and  Oglethorpe, 
together  with  the  attractions  of  the  city,  brought  him  to  Atlanta  in  1916. 
"Cap"  came  to  Oglethorpe  via  Davidson.  The  only  man  to  ever  captain 
three  different  teams  while  at  Oglethorpe.

Assistant  Librarian,  1917;  President  Athletic  Association,  1918-19;  Pres-

Sergeant  in  S.  A.  T.  C;  Phi  Kappa  Delta  (Honorary) ;  Kappa  Alpha  Fra- 
ternity ;  Valedictorian. 

This  promising  fellow  is  a  product  of  Boys'  High  School.  While  there 
he  took  a  leading  part  in  all  school  activities,  and  at  Oglethorpe  he  has  done 
the  same.  Bill,  by  hard  work,  got  his  Oglethorpe  dip  in  three  years,  and 
while  his  comrades  were  still  hanging  over  books  for  Senior  credits,  he  was 
"proffing"  at  Columbia  Military  Institute.

Peter  migrated  to  Oglethorpe  from  Norcross,  Ga.,  in  September,  1917,  and 
since  that  time  has  been  a  valuable  man.  We  have  only  one  fault  to  find  with 
Peter,  and  that  is  that  he  insists  on  wearing  a  little,  terrapin-shaped  derby  on 
special  occasions.

If  an  ever-ready  tongue  will  get  one  where  he's  going,  this  brilliant  fel-

there.  We  say  this  because  if  you  are  lucky  enough  to  know  "Bull"  you  will 
find  that  he  has  a  reply  ready  for  any  question  that  you  might  ask.

Here  is  a  rare  combination.  Gaertner  has  succeeded  in  mixing  with  real, 
honest-to-God  study  all  sorts  of  pleasures:  a  real  ladies'  man,  a  good  sport 
and  a  hard  worker  is  he.  "Wop,"  by  good  luck  and  pluck,  succeeded  in 
ringing  up  a  B.S.  in  three  years  and  one  summer.

HOLDERNESS,  SIDNEY,  JR.,  "Sid" 

Carrollton,  Ga. 

Alpha  Omega  Club. 

One  cold  December  day — the  11th,  1899,  to  be  exact — "Sid"  Holderness, 
came  upon  this  transitory  stage.  Before  coming  to  Oglethorpe,  he  attended 
Carrollton  High  School,  but  the  gay  lights  of  Atlanta  wouldn't  let  him  stay 
there  long  enough  to  get  a  "dip,"  so  he  lit  a  rag  for  Oglethorpe  and  arrived 
here  in  time  to  sign  up  with  the  first  who  entered  in  1916.

"Jesse"  James  is  a  product  of  that  much-admired  old  state,  Virginia.  He 
first  blinked  his  blue  eyes  on  the  19th  of  September,  1898.  Having  had  the 
opportunity  of  knowing  all  the  Cox  College  girls,  you  would  think,  "Jesse" 
would  be  a  sure  enough  vamp,  but  he  isn't;  he  has  withstood  the  temptations. 
After  entering  Oglethorpe  with  advanced  standing,  he  received  his  degree 
and  wound  up  by  teaching  some  of  his  comrades.

This  handsome  boy  was  born  in  Atlanta  one  pretty  day,  April  16,  1899. 
Bill  entered  Boys'  High  School  in  1913.  The  next  school  which  drew  his 
attention  was  Oglethorpe;  he  came  to  us  in  September,  1917,  and  from  that 
time  proved  that  he  is  worth  having.  He  has  taken  a  part  in  every  activity. 
With  this  to  base  our  judgment  on,  we  predict  for  him  a  big  future.  Bill 
says  he  is  going  to  study  medicine,  and  if  he  does  we  will  bet  that  he  draws 
a  big  patronage  from  the  ladies.

fellow  is  he,  a  thorough  student,  a  good  mixer  and  a  top-notcher  in  basket- 
ball.   The  lady  who  gets  him  will  certainly  land  a  nice  one.

ness or  not,  but  we  are  inclined  to  think  that  it  did.  Despite  all  this,  how- 
ever, he  has  stuck  by  his  books  and  the  result  is  that  he  is  a  "walking

Of  course  you  have  seen  by  the  expression  on  this  fellow's  face,  that  he  is 
a  product  of  Boys'  High  School.  "Claud"  came  to  Oglethorpe  with  the  first. 
While  here  he  took  a  leading  part  in  all  sorts  of  activities.  We  are  also 
told  that  he  is  some  "ladies'  man,"  and  we  don't  doubt  it,  for  he  certainly  has 
a  way  of  making  you  like  him.

"Joe"  came  to  Oglethorpe  via  Locust  Grove  Institute,  where  he  did  every-

"Mortie"  came  to  Oglethorpe  in  1916,  but  left  school  in  1917  to  answer 
his  country's  call  to  arms.  He  was  a  lieutenant  in  the  118th  Field  Artillery 
of  the  Dixie  Division,  going  overseas  with  that  division.  He  was  later  an  in- 
structor at  the  Camp  Taylor  Field  Artillery  School,  and  afterwards  Intelli- 
gence Officer  at  Camp  Knox.  This  is  a  good  record  and  we  are  proud  of  him. 
Since  returning  to  the  University  in  1920,  he  has  taken  an  active  and  leading 
part  in  all  college  activities.

plays  given  by  the  Oglethorpe  Players,  "Charlie"  has  gotten  the  part  that 
required  the  most  kissing.  "Charlie"  should  go  on  the  stage.  He  would 
certainly  make  a  success,  for  with  the  pull  of  his  friends  on  the  Loew's

No,  he  isn't  a  dusky  redskin,  despite  the  fact  that  his  name  might  indicate 
such.  He  got  his  name  on  the  warpath  all  right,  by  leading  Oglethorpe's 
fighting  nine  to  victory  over  many  of  the  South's  best  teams.  He  came  to 
Oglethorpe,  from  Piedmont  College,  to  join  the  S.  A.  T.  C.  Fortunately,

always  brought  a  lot  of  fellows  along  with  him.  This  shows  that  Joe  has 
made  Oglethorpe  a  good  man.  However,  we  would  like  to  know  why  he

Senior  Class  Prophecy 


A  BODY  of  young  men,  twenty-eight  in  number,  constitute  the  first  class 
to  be  graduated  by  Oglethorpe  University.     Of  this  number,  each 
'and  every  single  man  shall  be  turned  and  twisted,  solemnized  and 
ridiculed  by  direful  fate. 

The  utterances  that  are  penned  as  follows,  have  been  carefully  adjusted, 
regulated  and  forestalled  by  those  impartial  creatures,  whose  time  is  spent 
in  forming  circumstances  for  mankind,  with  means  unfair  and  foul,  and  who 
are  themselves  oft  cursed  and  joked  by  believer  and  disbeliever. 

Much  stupefied  and  weary,  the  prophet,  who  hath  received  these  mock- 
eries, begins,  for  impatient  is  he  to  hold  in  silence,  what  through  vapor 
horror  he  has  learned. 

Much  time  with  the  Muses  have  I  spent. 
Little  assistance  to  me  they've  lent; 
The  lots  are  shaken  in  the  urn, 
Here's  how  they  fell  and  what  will  turn. 


Iron  Man  Bonny,  long-drawn,  lanky,  blandly  smiling,  good-natured,  and 
quiet.    You  are  too  slow,  fate  will  run  over  you  while  you  are  snoozing. 


"Judge"  J.  Render  Terrell,  Jr.  Although  "Judge"  can  boast  no  favors 
that  the  Muses  have  deigned  to  confer  upon  him  as  yet,  'tis  certain  he's  some- 
what in  love  with  them. 


"His  worth,  his  honor,  all  the  world  will  approve 
His  foes  will  much  fear  him  and  friends,  aye  love." 


Dame  Fortune  is  constant  only  in  her  own  fickleness,  and  the  long  list 
she  here  unfolds,  encounters  one  cool,  black-haired  youth  from  the  south 
of  the  state — Neill  McLeod.  "Mac"  is  a  great  fellow  and  from  his  industry 
we  know: 

That  the  pines  of  South  Georgia  will  tumble  and  fall. 

He'll  be  a  rich  man  or  chop  down  them  all.

"Order  is  Heaven's  first  law;  and  this  contest, 
Some  are  and  must  be  greater  than  the  rest. 
More  rich,  more  wise;  but  who  infers  from  hence. 
That  such  are  happier;  shocks  all  common  sense."

these  two:  Albus  Durham  and  Sidney  Holderness.  "God  made  them  for 
men,  we'll  let  'em  pass."  But  beware  ye  small  of  stature,  your  sizes  are  no 
guarantee  of  your  happiness. 


"Had  I  but  an  hour  to  live. 
This  little  hour  to  bliss  I'd  give." 


And  this  is  the  boast  of  Joe  Porter  Wilson,  who  will  be  president  of  some 
;  railway  company  'ere  long. 


Use  what  has  been  given  you  well.  The  prophecy  falls  upon  the  brow  of 
T.  Powell  Moye,  "Whose  very  foot  hath  music  in  it".  He  is  too  cunning  and 
may  give  the  mystic  the  slip,  blessed  as  he  is  with  power  of  mind,  whose  very 
hands  make  leaves  tremble. 


People  sometimes  praise  me, 
Though  I  must  own,  as  many  still, 
As  far  abuse  me. 


Robert  Moore.  Beware  the  sleepy  nature  of  Iron  Man  Bonny,  but  pray 
associate  with  those  upon  whom  nature  has  fully  bestowed  the  power  to  let 
no  wish  go  unheard,  and  you  will  imbibe  a  little  glibness  of  tongue.

Junior  Class  History 


S  we  approach  the  goal  toward  which  we  have  been  striving  for  the 
past  three  years,  let  us  glance  back  to  the  time  we  entered  college 
and  briefly  review  our  experiences  of  those  three  years. 

On  September  19,  1917,  a  memorable  day  for  all  of  us,  some  fifty  odd 
distracted  and  forlorn  bipeds  of  different  degrees  of  greenness,  arrived  at 
Oglethorpe  University  to  begin  their  journey  along  the  road  of  learning,  and 
soon  declared  themselves  loyal  students  of  that  great  institution  of  learning. 

It  was  with  pride,  indeed,  that  we  took  up  our  classroom  duties,  as  Ogle- 
thorpe's second  Freshman  Class,  and  it  will  be  with  pleasure  to  look  back  in 
after  years,  as  having  been  a  member  of  Oglethorpe's  student  body  during 
its  second  year  of  existence. 

The  history  of  our  Sophomore  year  is  a  unique  and  varied  one  in  the 
annals  of  the  college,  in  that  it  is  marked  by  the  rise  and  fall  of  the  Student's 
Army  Training  Corps  and  the  return  to  civilian  life.  We  worked  under 
many  difficulties  until  Christmas,  returned  in  January,  depleted  in  number, 
to  resume  our  weary  burdens,  and  worked  manfully  until  June,  when  Summer 
vacation  began.  Some  were  ambitious  enough  to  return  on  July  7th  to  at- 
tend summer  school,  while  the  remainder  of  the  class  spent  the  summer  in 
various  other  ways. 

With  the  opening  of  college  in  1919,  we  found  the  class  had  dwindled  to 
ten  men.  Those  who  returned  were  of  a  much  more  serious  nature  than  ever 
before,  and  they  began  to  realize  what  they  had,  apparently,  not  realized 
before;  namely,  how  little  they  really  did  know.  And  so,  with  the  deter- 
mination to  increase  their  knowledge,  they  plunged  earnestly  into  their 
studies. 

Thus,  through  varied  experiences  we  have  arrived  at  the  third  crossing 
in  the  pathway  of  our  college  life,  and  though  small  in  number,  we  warn 
the  student  body  of  Oglethorpe  to  "Stop,  Look  and  Listen,"  for  next  year 
you  will  hear  about,  see  and  feel  our  influence.

The  Sophomore  Class  History 

THE  real  beginning  of  the  Sophomore  Class  dates  back  to  nineteen 
hundred  and  eighteen,  the  days  of  the  Student's  Army  Training  Corps. 
Excepting  the  Fall  Term,  which  was  mostly  taken  up  in  military  drill, 
and  in  giving  experience  to  a  few  newly  appointed  lieutenants,  the  record  of 
the  Sophomore  Class  begins  with  the  opening  of  the  Winter  Term,  in  Janu- 
ary, nineteen  hundred  and  nineteen. 

It  was  then  that  we  Sophomores  assembled  at  Oglethorpe  to  enter  upon 
a  long,  perilous  journey  which  terminates  with  an  A.B.  degree.  From  the 
first  day  it  was  clear  that  an  unusual  bunch  of  Freshmen  had  arrived.-  We 
attended  exercises  and  partook  of  all  things  generally,  but  ever  being  espe- 
cially careful  to  see  that  our  importance  and  intelligence  was  at  all  times 
impressed  upon  the  upper-classmen,  and  the  Sophomores  in  particular.  Evi- 
dently we  must  have  pressed  too  hard,  for  the  upper-classmen  inaugurated 
an  emergency  court  before  which  many  a  helpless  Freshman  was  brought 
and  convicted.  With  our  pride  injured  a  bit,  we  began  to  sink  gradually 
into  obscurity,  and  at  the  same  time  effected  a  gradual  recovery  from  our 
drunken  conceitedness. 

We  have  a  remarkable  collection  of  characters  in  our  class  with  talents 
ranging  all  the  way  from  athletics  through  "Bullology,"  which  is  proving 
one  of  the  most  profitable  pursuits  of  the  present  time.  In  the  fields  of 
athletics  a  number  of  Sophomores  have  won  fame  and  glory.  Among  the 
first  on  deck  is  "Nut"  Chestnutt,  a  splendid  athlete,  and  also  our  distin- 
guished president:  and  Captain  Cecil  Lemon,  who  skillfully  guided  our  nine- 
teen-nineteen  football  team  to  victory.  Another  famous  athlete  to  whom  we 
owe  credit  is  Linton  Cooper,  better  known  as  "Coop  Cooper  from  Com- 
merce". "Cree"  Davenport,  "Foxy"  Knox,  and  Hugh  Turner  have  deserv- 
edly won  the  glory  and  praise  that  has  been  heaped  on  them  by  Oglethorpians 
and  others  who  have  recognized  their  ability.  There  is  valuable  material 
being  saved  for  the  future  and  the  ones  to  whom  it  is  entrusted  are  "Jule" 
Price  and  "Battle  Axe"  Walton.  It  is  almost  impossible  to  portray  the 
Sophomore  Class  and  to  depict  all  the  characteristics  of  its  members.  If 
you  could  only  know  the  studious  "Jamey"  Jameson,  Harold  Trimble,  with 
all  his  pomp  and  manner,  the  eccentric  Tom  Morgan,  Chas.  Newsom  and  his 
wit,  "Kid"  Sims'  sarcasm,  our  handsome  Elwyn  Gary,  who  is  a  devout  ad- 
herent to  the  lighter  side  of  life,  particularly  the  ladies;  the  critical  Mr. 
Burns,  the  grouchy  Roy  Conine,  the  well  meaning  Mr.  W.  C.  Hillhouse,  the 
good  natured  Paul  Agnew,  the  conscientious  Ernest  Moore,  the  good,  easy- 
going Kelly  Bitting,  and  all  the  rest  who  cannot  be  explained,  you  could 
begin  to  understand  the  Sophomore  Class. 

Turning  to  the  more  serious  part  of  college  life,  we  find  that  the  schol- 
astic record  of  this  ill-sorted  bunch  is  beyond  reproach.  It  is  one  to  be 
proud  of,  and  there  is  little  danger  of  it  being  surpassed  in  the  near  future. 
In  conclusion  we  feel  that  the  Sophomore  Class  is  a  part  of,  and  has 
become  indispensable  to  our  Alma  Mater,  and  when  the  opportunity  presents 
itself,  we  hope  that  we  may  reflect  honor  and  credit  on  her  as  our  duty  for 
the  preparation  and  protection  that  she  has  given  us.

Freshman  Class  History 


THE  Freshman  Class  came  into  existence  on  September  27,  1919,  when 
the  school  opened  for  the  1919-20  session.  On  November  15th  all 
the  students  registered  as  Freshman  were  called  together  for  the  pur- 
pose of  organizing  the  class.  Dr.  Libby  acted  as  chairman  until  Ashley 
Sellers  was  elected  president,  Ford  Little,  vice-president,  and  Miss  Martha 
Shover,  secretary  and  treasurer.  Unfortunately  though.  Sellers,  our  presi- 
dent, only  served  a  short  time  before  he  was  forced  to  quit  school.  Ford 
Little  then  became  president  of  the  class,  and  Wayne  Johnson  was  elected 
to  the  vice-president's  place. 

There  are  forty-one  members  of  the  Freshman  Class.  A  large  percentage 
of  them  have  chosen  to  take  the  commercial  course.  However,  many  of  them 
enrolled  as  A.B.  students  to  study  classics,  literature  and  science. 

In  all  the  various  activities  of  the  school,  some  member  of  the  class  has 
taken  a  prominent  part. 

R.  W.  Chance  was  unanimously  elected  by  the  student  body  as  the  dele- 
gate to  the  great  national  conference  of  college  students,  held  at  Des  Moines, 
Iowa,  during  January  of  1920.  Later  Chance  was  elected  president  of  the 
Y.  M.  C.  A.  for  the  1920-21  session.  Percy  Weeks,  who  holds  the  honor  of 
making  the  highest  marks  in  the  University,  was  elected  secretary  and 
treasurer.  Miss  Martha  and  Elise  Shover  and  Anne  Lewis  were  elected 
members  of  the  Oglethorpe  Players  Club.  Besides  these  we  are  represented 
in  the  orchestra  by  Chance,  Little  and  Rodriguez.  In  athletics  we  are  proud 
to  say  that  our  class  has  furnished  many  men  to  both  the  varsity  and  scrub 
football  teams.  Among  these  are  Johnson,  Smiley,  Morris,  Dickens,  Bussey 
and  Crawford. 

We  are  still  Freshmen  at  the  bottom  of  the  ladder,  but  we  are  coming, 
so  watch  the  Class  of  1923.

Student  Activities 


OGLETHORPE  UNIVERSITY  opened  her  doors  to  the  young  men  of 
the  South  in  September,  1916.  That  has  been  only  four  years  ago, 
and  in  this  brief  span  of  time  the  student  activities  of  Oglethorpe 
have  been  indeed  remarkable,  especially  her  athletic  record,  which  has  prob- 
ably been  the  most  brilliant  of  any  young  college  in  America. 

During  the  four  years  Oglethorpe  has  put  out  three  football  elevens, 
four  baseball  teams,  one  basketball  quintet  and  two  track  teams.  She  has 
also  staged  a  tennis  tournament  and  engaged  in  boxing,  taught  by  the  master 
hand  of  Hume  McDonald,  one  of  America's  foremost  instructors. 

Oglethorpe  has  made  great  success  in  her  athletic  endeavors,  and  today 
is  ranked  with  the  best  colleges  of  the  South. 

Oglethorpe  University  also  has  a  strong  dramatic  club,  and  for  four 
successive  years  has  given  a  play  at  the  Atlanta  Theatre,  which  have  brought 
niost  favorable  comment  from  all  sides. 

The  debating  teams  have  also  been  active  and  Oglethorpe  has  staged  two 
intercollegiate  debates,  one  with  Auburn  and  the  other  with  Mercer. 

A  college  weekly.  The  Petrel,  has  been  started,  after  overcoming  many 
obstacles. 

An  orchestra  and  band  are  other  features  of  student  activities.

The  Hermance    Stadium  Gift 

OGLETHORPE  was  the  recipient  of  a  most  liberal  donation  from  two 
of  her  most  ardent  admirers  and  benefactors  when  she  received 
$50,000  from  Mr.  and  Mrs.  Harry  P.  Hermance  for  the  erection  of 
an  athletic  stadium.  This  gift  was  first  announced  at  the  big  football  banquet 
held  in  December,  1919,  and  which  came  as  a  surprise  to  everyone.  Even 
the  President  knew  nothing  of  what  was  to  happen  that  night.  Several  months 
previous  to  our  bequest,  Mr.  Hermance  had  told  a  group  of  football  men  that 
he  had  an  ambition  to  help  Oglethorpe  raise  the  $50,000  for  a  stadium,  but 
it  never  occurred  to  any  of  them  that  he  and  Mrs.  Hermance  would  be  the 
donors.  The  students  passed  resolutions  requesting  the  Board  of  Directors  to 
name  the  stadium  Hermance  Field  in  honor  of  the  donors. 

The  construction  of  the  stadium  will  follow  the  architectural  policy  of 
Oglethorpe.  It  will  be  constructed  of  granite  as  are  all  the  other  buildings. 
Ultimately  we  plan  to  build  a  stadium  the  equal  of  any  in  the  East.  And  if, 
in  the  future,  we  find  as  dear  friends  as  our  above-named  benefactors,  the 
success  of  this  plan  is  certain.

Coach  Anderson 

IT  was  indeed  a  lucky  day  for  Oglethorpe  when  Coach  Frank  B.  Anderson 
decided  to  cast  his  lot  with  her.  It  took  a  brave  man  to  decide  on  such 
a  task,  for  the  school  was  in  its  infancy,  and  had  practically  no  athletic 
future  at  that  time.  But  that  is  just  the  kind  of  a  man  our  beloved  coach  is, 
always  ready  to  shoulder  any  burden  provided  Oglethorpe  was  the  cause. 

He  came  to  us  from  an  Atlanta  High  School  in  1917,  a  graduate  of  the 
University  of  Georgia,  where  he  made  a  baseball  record  paralleled  by  none. 
Since  his  connection  with  the  college  was  to  be  permanent,  the  Faculty  gave 
lim  the  position  of  athletic  director  and  coach  of  the  baseball,  football  and 
track  teams. 

From  material  which  seemed  valueless  Coach  Anderson  has  made  some 
wonderful  athletes.  Being  confronted  with  obstacles  which,  to  the  ordinary 
coach,  would  seem  impossible  to  overcome,  Anderson  has  bravely  faced  them, 
and  in  nearly  every  case  has  come  out  on  top.  Time  and  again  he  has  been 
complimented  on  the  showing  of  his  young  teams,  and  all  their  credit  be- 
longs to  him. 

When  it  comes  to  baseball  Frank  Anderson  is  the  leader  among  Southern 
college  coaches.  He  takes  his  hat  off  to  none.  He  has  always  studied  the 
game  from  every  angle,  and  played  it  fairly  and  success  has  been  his  reward. 
In  regard  to  the  other  sports  which  he  coaches,  he  does  not  profess  to  be  the 
best,  but  his  1919  showings  in  football,  and  1919  track  men  surely  give  him 
much  credit. 

He  is  the  boy's  pal,  a  boy  amongst  boys :  their  coach,  leader,  and  adviser. 
We  all  love  him  for  what  he  has  done  for  us,  and  admire  him  as  a  man  among 
men  for  the  difficult  tasks  he  has  so  worthily  accomplished.

Coach  Malone 

M  Coach  Anderson's  right  hand  man  in  football  for  the  past  two  sea- 
sons, as  assistant  coach  of  the  Petrels. 

One  becomes  immediately  attached  to  "Punk"  because  of  his  genial  per- 
sonality and  his  simple  ways.  He  is  a  friend  of  every  man,  even  down  to  the 
humblest  scrub. 

He  has  been  a  valuable  aid  to  Coach  Anderson,  especially  in  developing 
the  varsity  line  and  bringing  out  the  fighting  qualities  of  the  scrub  team. 
One  of  "Punk's"  heart-to-heart  talks  with  the  fellows  just  before  a  game  does 
more  good  than  a  barrel  of  nuxated  iron. 

"Punk"  formerly  played  with  the  University  of  Georgia,  where  he  made 
a  brilliant  football  record,  and  was  honored  with  an  All-Southern  position 
by  many  football  critics  of  the  South.

Bob  Nicholes  has  been  the  outstanding 
player  on  every  football  team  in  the  history  of 
Oglethorpe.  As  a  tackle  he  ranks  with  the 
best  in  the  South  and  had  he  been  playing  on 
a  college  with  more  reputation,  would  no 
doubt  have  made  all-Southern.  He  has  played 
every  minute  of  every  game  for  three  years 
at  right  tackle.  The  Florida  coach  saw  fit  to 
say  "there's  the  best  tackle  I  have  seen  this 
year."  He  is  a  big  aggressive  player,  weigh- 
ing 190  lbs.,  a  hard  charger  and  a  demon  on 
defense.  It  would  take  too  long  to  enumerate 
his  deeds,  so  suffice  it  to  say  that  he  has  earned 
a  place  in  Oglethorpe  history  which  future 
players  and  coaches  will  refer  to  when  telling 
about  the  "high  spots"  of  previous  glorious 
deeds. 

By  his  graduation  this  year  he  leaves  a  hole 
on  the  right  side  of  the  line  which  will  call 
for  a  mighty  man  to  fill. 

Vale,  Bob!  and  good  luck  to  you. 

Bob  is  twenty  years  old  and  was  captain  of 
the  1918  team.

William  C.  Johnson,  or  "Bill,"  as  he  is  most 
affectionately  known  by  all  Oglethorpe  men,  is 
a  man  and  athlete,  the  like  of  which  we  do 
not  see  often.  Bill  is  a  credit  to  any  college 
he  represents.  For  three  years  since  Ogle- 
thorpe started  football,  he  has  played  on  the 
team,  and  has  always  given  the  best  he  had. 
He  has  the  distinction  of  scoring  the  first 
touch-down  ever  made  by  an  Oglethorpe  man. 
In  addition  to  being  a  good  athlete.  Bill  has 
never  failed  to  stand  at  the  head  of  his  classes, 
proving  that  athletics  and  studies  will  mix  if 
handled  correctly.  Bill  Johnson  graduates,  but 
he  leaves  a  mark  future  Petrels  should  seek  to 
attain. 

Bill  is  an  Atlanta  boy,  twenty  years  old,  and 
weighs  160  lbs.

Linton  Cooper,  or  "Coop"  as  he  is  familiarly 
known,  plays  left  tackle  for  the  Petrels.  He 
has  played  two  years  on  the  team,  and  today 
stands  as  one  of  the  best  tackles  in  the  South. 
"Coop"  is  an  ideal  build  for  a  tackle;  tall, 
rangy  and  fast.  His  work  in  the  Citadel  game 
caused  the  Charleston  papers  to  say  he  was  the 
best  tackle  seen  in  that  city  during  the  season. 

Cooper  and  Nicholes  made  a  pair  of  tackles 
that  bore  the  brunt  of  the  Oglethorpe  defense 
and  penetrated  every  line. 

"Coop"  Cooper  hails  from  Commerce,  Ga., 
is  nineteen  years  old,  weighs  185  lbs.,  and  is 
alternate  captain  of  the  1920  team. 


Newton  "Chief"  Turk  is  a  good  football 
player,  but  has  not  been  allowed  to  show  his 
real  ability,  because  Coach  Anderson  did  not 
care  to  take  many  chances  with  his  great  pitch- 
ing arm.  Turk  is  an  all-Southern  pitcher,  and 
Oglethorpe  needed  him  more  for  baseball  than 
football.  However,  he  has  made  the  team  both 
years  since  entering  college,  and  will  be  missed 
when  graduation  causes  his  loss.  His  work 
against  Auburn  in  1918  stamped  him  as  a  real 
football  player. 

"Chief"  is  twenty-one  years  old,  and  weighs 
170  lbs. 


Hugh  Turner  has  been  the  regular  left  half- 
back of  the  Petrels  for  the  last  two  years. 
Hugh  came  from  Tech  High  School,  where  he 
had  a  brilliant  athletic  record.  He  is  a  good, 
dependable  man,  and  his  defensive  work  is 
above  par.  The  "little  man"  especially  showed 
class  in  the  game  with  Chattanooga. 

Hugh  is  only  nineteen,  and  scales  at  155.

Homer  C.  Chestnutt,  or  "Chess,"  has  held 
down  left-end  on  the  varsity  for  the  past  two 
seasons,  and  has  done  it  well.  "Chess"  is  a 
good  snatcher  of  forward  passes  and  his  goal 
kicking  is  excellent.  The  very  difficult  angle 
from  which  he  kicked  goal  after  the  touch- 
down in  the  Florida  game  will  never  be  for- 
gotten by  his  team  mates. 

"Chess"  is  from  Columbus,  Ga.,  weighs  150, 
and  is  twenty-one  years  old. 


Ernest  H.  Duffy  claims  Morrow,  Ga.,  as  his 
home  town.  He  has  been  a  lineman  for  the 
Petrels  for  the  past  two  years.  Duffy  had  no 
prep  school  experience,  but  by  hard  work  he 
clearly  earned  the  right  to  wear  the  varsity 
"O."  He  did  great  work  in  the  Camp  Gordon 
game  on  Thanksgiving  morning  in  1918. 

Ernest  is  twenty-one  years  old,  and  scales 
at  175. 


Robert  "Scrappy"  Moore  is  another  Petrel 
who  has  seen  service  with  Uncle  Sam.  In 
1917,  as  a  member  of  Oglethorpe's  first  foot- 
ball team,  "Scrappy"  was  a  mainstay  at  full- 
back. In  1918  he  was  in  the  nav)-,  but  the 
1919  season  found  him  back  in  college  where 
he  again  made  the  block  "O." 

Scrappy  is  twenty-three,  and  weighs  154.  He 
will  also  be  lost  by  graduation.

Ralph  "Dixie"  Reeves,  the  Petrels'  right-end, 
is  one  of  the  gamest  and  best  ends  that  ever 
stepped  on  a  gridiron.  His  work  during  the 
year  brought  favorable  comment  wherever 
Oglethorpe  played.  The  tackling  of  Reeves 
was  deadly,  and  in  the  Thanksgiving  game  with 
Florida  he  showed  what  real  "guts"  are. 

Dixie  is  twenty-two  years  old,  weighs  146, 
and  claims  Atlanta  and  Cartersville  as  home. 


Clifford  Sims,  or  just  "Kid,"  was  the  quar- 
ter-back of  the  1919  Petrels.  "Kid"  came  to  us 
in  1916  from  Gordon,  where  he  had  made  a 
great  rep.  After  pitching  on  the  first  baseball 
team,  Sims  answered  the  call  of  his  country 
and  served  in  France  two  years.  However,  he 
returned  in  the  fall  of  1919,  and  made  Coach 
Anderson  a  dependable  little  quarter-back,  and 
was  probably  the  best  blocker  on  the  team. 

"Kid"  calls  Richland,  Ga.,  home,  is  twenty- 
three  years  old,  and  scales  at  150.

Wayne  Johnson  bears  the  distinction  of 
coming  from  Easley,  S.  C.  Before  entering 
Oglethorpe,  he  was  a  lieutenant  in  the  S.  A. 
T.  C.  at  Yale.  This  did  not  keep  him  from 
coming  out  for  football  though,  and  before  the 
year  was  over  he  had  made  a  berth  on  the 
varsity  squad.  While  a  little  inexperienced  at 
the  game,  Johnson  shows  promise,  and  he  will 
surely  put  Easley  on  the  map  before  he  leaves 
Oglethorpe. 

Wayne  is  nineteen  years  old,  and  weighs  175. 


Robert  Collins  came  to  Oglethorpe  from  Car- 
tersville,  Ga.  He  had  never  played  football  be- 
fore, so  was  naturally  green  at  the  game.  How- 
ever, Collins  was  ambitious  and  faithful  to 
practice.  These  qualities,  together  with  his 
especially  his  feet,  caused  him  to  get 
in  many  games  at  a  guard  position. 

Robert  is  twenty-one,  and  weighs  185. 


N.  Meredith  de  Jainette,  commonly  known 
as  "Peter,"  was  manager  of  the  1919  Petrels. 
In  this  capacity  he  served  faithfully,  and  his 
efforts  were  always  for  the  best  interest  of 
Oglethorpe.  "Peter"  was  a  member  of  the  1917 
team,  but  was  too  light  for  the  later  teams. 
He  graduates  this  year  and  has  always  taken 
a  wholesome  interest  in  all  kinds  of  athletics. 

"Peter"  hails  from  Norcross,  Ga. 


Maiquis  Calmes,  the  youngest  of  the  Petrel 
gridiron  warriors,  has  always  had  ambition 
since  entering  Oglethorpe  to  make  his  letter. 
After  two  years  of  faithful  scrubbing,  he  has 
been  justly  rewarded  with  a  block  "O".  Mar- 
quis got  in  several  games  at  an  end  position, 
and  while  a  bit  inexperienced,  shows  promise 
for  the  future.    He  will  bear  watching  in  1920. 

Marquis  weighs  150,  and  is  only  seventeen. 


The  1919  Football  Team 

HE  1919  season  was  a  huge  success,  and  yet  it 
was  not  a  complete  success.     It  was  decidedly  the 
hardest  luck  season  that  any  Oglethorpe  athletic 
team  ever  experienced.     Not  from  the  standpoint  of  in- 
juries, however,  for  in  this  respect  the  Petrels  were  very 
fortunate. 

Games  were  almost  won  and  then  lost  with  the  play  of 
fate.  Many  times  the  Petrels  would  be  within  striking 
distance  of  the  opponent's  goal  where  a  touchdown  would 
mean  victory,  and  then  a  fumble  or  something  would 
happen.  Forward  passing  caused  Oglethorpe's  downfall 
in  several  games. 

The  team  was  also  handicapped  by  playing  every 
game,  except  the  one  with  Mercer  away  from  home,  and 
this  called  for  much  traveling.  The  Petrels  covered 
over  3,000  miles  during  the  season,  traveling  all  over 
the  South,  playing  in  Tennessee,  South  Carolina,  Georgia 
and  Florida.  While  Oglethorpe  lost  more  games  than 
she  won,  the  Petrels  made  a  lasting  impression  wherever 
they  appeared,  not  only  by  their  athletic  prowess,  but 
for  the  gentlemanly  way  in  which  they  conducted  them- 
selves at  all  times. 


Captain  Lemon 


The  season  opened  with  a  practice  game  with  the  heavy 
Fifth  Division  team  of  Camp  Gordon.  Overconfidence  and  lack  of  teamwork 
spelled  defeat  for  Oglethorpe. 

Next  came  the  first  college  game  of  the  year  when  Oglethorpe  met  Furman 
University  in  Greenville,  S.  C.  Here  again  poor  team  work,  aided  by  the 
mediocre  referee,  caused  defeat,  13  to  0.  The  work  of  Knox,  Cooper,  Reeves 
and  Captain  Lemon  featured. 

Then  followed  the  University  of  Chattanooga  in  that  city  to  whom  Ogle- 
thorpe handed  their  second  successive  defeat  by  a  score  of  19  to  0.  The 
Petrels  improved  considerably  over  their  play  in  the  Furman  game,  and 
Captain  Lemon,  Knox,  Turner,  Sims,  Collins,  Nicholes  and  Cooper  all  did 
good  work. 

The  game  with  Mercer  was  the  most  important,  from  an  Oglethorpe  stand- 
point, of  the  season.  Here  the  Petrels  were  to  play  their  only  home  game  of 
the  year  before  their  supporters.  What  would  they  do?  She  completely 
routed  the  Mercer  team  by  the  huge  score  of  73  to  0.  The  Baptists  never 
had  a  chance,  and  only  made  one  first  down  during  the  game.  To  mention 
any  particular  star  would  not  be  fair  to  the  others,  as  the  whole  team  played 
top-notch  ball,  and  Coach  Anderson  used  his  whole  team,  including  the 
scrubs,  before  the  game  ended. 

The  wonderful  showing  against  Mercer  put  added  enthusiasm  in  the 
Petrels,  and  they  determined  to  win  every  remaining  game  on  the  schedule. 


They  received  a  set-back,  however,  when  they  met  the  heavy  Maryville  Col- 
lege team,  at  Maryville,  Tenn.,  and  were  there  defeated  14  to  7.  The  ^vork 
of  Nicholes,  Sims,  Davenport  and  Knox  featured  for  Oglethorpe. 

Next  came  the  game  with  Sewanee,  at  Sewanee,  Tenn.,  which  was  the  real 
test  of  the  Oglethorpe  team.  Sewanee  won  21  to  0,  and  was  the  only  team 
to  really  outclass  the  Petrels  during  the  season.  However,  the  Petrels  once 
held  the  Tigers  for  four  straight  downs  on  their  two-foot  line.  The  work  of 
Reeves,  Knox  and  Cooper  in  this  game  was  brilliant. 

Then  followed  a  long  trip  on  which  the  C.  C.  A.  C.  was  played  in  Sa- 
vannah, and  the  Citadel  in  Charleston,  S.  C.  Oglethorpe  played  off  form 
and  lost  the  Savannah  game,  12  to  0.  The  defensive  work  of  Nicholes  fea- 
tured. The  Citadel  encounter  resulted  in  a  0 — 0  tie,  though  the  Petrels 
should  have  won  by  at  least  two  touchdowns.  In  the  fourth  quarter,  Citadel 
staged  a  great  rally,  after  being  completely  outclassed  the  first  three  periods, 
and  only  the  brilliant  defensive  work  of  Cooper,  Nicholes  and  Reeves  staved 
off  defeat.  Cooper  especially  did  good  work  in  backing  up  the  line  at  defen- 
sive center.  The  Charleston  papers  lauded  the  work  of  "Coop"  and  declared 
him  to  be  the  best  tackle  they  had  seen  that  season  in  Charleston. 

The  Thanksgiving  game  in  Gainesville,  Fla.,  with  the  University  of  Flor- 
ida proved  to  be  one  that  Oglethorpe  will  never  forget.  Outweighed  nearly 
20  pounds  to  the  man,  with  all  odds  against  them,  and  the  temperature  90 
degrees,  the  Petrels  went  into  play,  determined  to  fight.  The  hard  luck  team, 
as  stated  in  the  first  of  this  story,  was  never  more  in  evidence  than  in  this 
game.  Oglethorpe  completely  outplayed  the  'Caters  and  outclassed  them  in 
every  department  of  play,  yet  they  lost  14  to  7.  The  Petrels  made  more  first 
downs,  gained  more  yards,  and  kept  the  powerful  'Cater  team  on  the  defen- 
sive most  of  the  game.  However,  Fate  took  a  hand,  and  space  forbids  to  tell 
how  the  Petrels  were  "nosed"  out  of  a  victory. 

The  work  of  Knox  proved  conclusively  that  he  ranks  with  the  best  backs 
of  the  South.  Walton,  Reeves,  Cooper,  Turner,  Chestnutt,  Captain  Lemon 
and  Sims  all  did  good  work.  E.  Moore,  playing  his  first  college  game,  did 
well. 

Bob  Nicholes,  at  right  tackle,  closed  his  Oglethorpe  football  career  in  a 
blaze  of  glory.  He  was  declared  by  the  Florida  coach  to  be  the  best  tackle 
he  had  seen  during  the  season.  His  work  was  easily  the  feature  of  the  game. 
Bob  has  played  in  every  football  game  for  the  past  three  years,  and  has  never 
missed  a  minute  from  the  line-up  in  any  game. 

Summing  up  the  year,  the  Petrels  made  such  a  great  showing  that  in  1920 
they  will  have  such  teams  as  Tech,  Georgia,  Sewanee  and  Florida  on  their 
schedule.  Due  credit  must  be  given  the  line  who  held  like  a  stone  wall  all 
season.  Only  two  touchdowns  were  made  through  the  Petrel  line  the  whole 
season.

1918  Football  Team 

URING  the  1918  season  Oglethorpe  was  blessed 
with  the  existence  of  the  S.  A.  T.  C,  which 
brought  about  three  hundred  boys  to  the  college. 
Coach  Anderson  and  Captain  Bob  Nicholes  determined  to 
take  full  advantage  of  the  greatly  increased  enrollment 
and  put  Oglethorpe  on  the  football  map  of  the  South. 
With  an  average  of  thirty  men  reporting  each  afternoon, 
it  was  much  more  encouraging  than  with  the  meager 
handful  that  was  out  in  1917.  Oglethorpe  opened  the 
season  on  the  local  campus  with  a  practice  game  by  de- 
feating Boys'  High  School  19  to  0  in  easy  fashion.  Next 
game  the  big  Camp  Gordon  team  was  played,  and  again 
Oglethorpe  was  outclassed  55  to  0,  largely  through  the 
brilliant  playing  of  the  famous  Everett  Strupper.  While 
the  hard  Camp  Gordon  game  "bunged"  the  team  up  con- 
siderably, the  Petrels  had  little  trouble  in  defeating  Tech 
High  School  21  to  0  in  a  practice  game. 

With  the  squad  still  in  a  crippled  condition.  Coach 
Anderson  took  the  men  to  Auburn  for  a  game  with  Mike 
Donahoo's  Plainsmen.  While  the  Petrels  were  decisively 
defeated,  58  to  0,  they  won  the  respect  of  everyone  who  saw  the  battle,  when 
in  the  last  minutes  of  the  game,  although  outweighed  and  crippled,  they  held 
the  heavy  Auburn  team  for  eight  consecutive  downs  on  their  one-foot  line. 
Captain  Nicholes,  Lemon  and  Turk  did  the  best  work  for  Oglethorpe. 

Next  came  a  game  with  the  heavy  Non-Com.  School  team  of  Camp  Gordon, 
which  Oglethorpe  lost  through  unfairness  of  the  officials,  13  to  6. 

Then  Dahlonega  was  played  on  the  local  campus,  where  the  Petrels  got 
ample  revenge  for  the  1917  defeat,  when  they  trounced  the  Mountaineers  28  to 
0  in  a  pouring  rain. 

Now  came  the  time  for  Oglethorpe  to  make  her  first  official  bow  to  the 
Atlanta  football  public,  when  she  played  the  University  of  Chattanooga  at 
Grant  Field.  The  Moccasins  came  down  for  a  practice  game,  but  left 
decisively  beaten  39  to  0,  being  able  to  make  only  one  first  down.  The 
entire  team  played  brilliantly,  but  Knox,  Lemon  and  Cooper  were  the  bright 
stars. 


Captain  Nicholes 


A  return  game  was  played  Thanksgiving  morning  with  the  Non-Coms.  of 
Camp  Gordon.  The  brilliant  Chattanooga  victory  had  caused  a  relax  in  the 
team,  and  with  four  regulars  out  of  the  line-up,  except  for  the  superhuman 
efforts  of  Captain  Nicholes  and  Lemon,  Oglethorpe  would  have  gone  down 
in  defeat.  The  Petrels  won  on  a  thrilling  last-minute  safety  by  a  score  of 
9  to  7. 

In  passing,  it  might  be  said  that  the  1918  team  did  put  the  Petrels  in  the 
football  limelight,  and  was  directly  responsible  for  the  hard  schedule 
arranged  for  1919.

1917  Football  Team 

o 


,  NE  morning,  early  in  October,  1917,  Mr.  Frank  B. 
]  Anderson   addressed   the  students   of   Oglethorpe 
concerning  the  possibility  of  Oglethorpe  attempt- 
ing to  put  out  a  football  team.     Could  she  do  it? 

It  was  already  late  to  start  practice,  only  about  seventy 
boys  were  in  college,  and  no  schedule  arranged.  It  was 
certainly  not  encouraging,  but  about  twenty  men  offered 
Coach  Anderson  their  support,  and  practice  started.  W.  J. 
Boswell  of  Greensboro,  was  elected  captain  of  the  first 
football  team. 

After  two  weeks  of  practice,  the  first  game  was  played 
with  the  Fifth  District  A.  &  M.  School  on  the  Oglethorpe 
campus,  which  resulted  in  a  victory  for  Oglethorpe  by  the 
score  of  18  to  0.  Bill  Johnson  had  the  honor  of  making 
the  first  touchdown  ever  made  by  an  Oglethorpe  man. 
Captain  Boswell,  Johnson,  Simpson,  and  Nicholes  fea- 
tured in  the  victory. 

The  second  game  was  played  against  the  great  Camp 
Gordon  team  that  had  Bob  McWhorter  and  Kirk  Newel 
in  their  line-up.     While  the  Petrels  fought  gamely,  they 
were  outclassed  53  to  0. 

The  third  and  last  game  was  played  in  Dahlonega  against  the  N.  G.  A. 
College,  where  Oglethorpe  was  defeated  18  to  0,  mainly  through  over-con- 
fidence. 

While  the  season  was  no  great  success,  it  was  the  start  of  Oglethorpe's 
football  teams  which  were  destined  to  rank  with  the  best  in  the  South.

NlCHOLES 

When  the  football  season  rolls  around, 
Some  loyal  fellow  can  be  found. 
Who  is  ready  to  die  and  do  his  best. 
That  his  Alma  Mater  may  mount  the  crest. 

The  season  has  not  made  much  advance. 
When  he  sees  that  he  has  not  a  chance 
To  make  the  team,  the  varsity,  that  season. 
But  he  is  out  fighting,  fighting  for  a  reason. 

And  this  is  the  reason  you  all  may  know: 
He's  fighting  that  glory  for  his  college  will  glow; 
He  knows  that  when  the  scrub  team  was  good. 
Just  that  much  higher  the  varsity  stood. 

Though  he  be  battered  and  torn  apart, 
Not  one  time  does  he  ever  lose  heart. 
And  by  many  he  is  often  called  a  dub, 
But  all  hail  to  the  ever  fighting  scrub.

1920  Baseball  Team 

f^*\  OACH  ANDERSON  was  determined  that  the  fourth 
i  baseball   team   of  Oglethorpe   University   should 

^■^  be  one  that  would  be  a  strong  contender  for  S.  I. 
A.  A.  honors.  The  record  to  date  has  been  impressive, 
but  the  team  has  just  begun  to  play  real  baseball  and 
before  the  season  ends  Oglethorpe  should  rank  with  the 
best  half  dozen  college  teams  of  the  South. 

In  Captain  Turk  and  Hope  the  Petrels  have  probably 

G'jB      the  best  college  battery  in  the  S.   I.  A.   A.     Turk  has 
\       W      pitched  five  college  games  to  date,  striking  out  fifty-five 
fi     >M       men   and   allowing   only   twenty-five   hits.      These   were 
|ffln       against  some  of  the  strongest  teams  in  the  South,  and 
^K        with  proper  support  he  no  doubt  would  have  won  all  his 
H         games.     As  a  catcher  Lucian   Hope   is  a  man   of  rare 
V         ability. 
^L  Getting  away  to  a  bad  start  Oglethorpe  lost  the  first 

three  games  of  the  season  to  Georgia  and  Auburn.  Then 
came  the  game  with  Georgia  Tech  which  surprised  every- 
one but  Coach  Anderson  and  his  fighting  men.  On  Saturday,  April  10th, 
Oglethorpe  defeated  Tech  5  to  1,  at  Grant  Field  before  a  crowd  of  about 
2,500  people.  Captain  Turk  held  the  hard-hitting  Jackets  at  his  mercy,  al- 
lowing only  two  clean  hits  and  striking  out  nine  men. 

The  whole  team  played  great  ball,  but  we  must  take  space  to  mention  the 
work  of  Hope,  Davenport,  Carlisle,  and  Willis,  who  aided  greatly  in  the 
victory. 

Mercer  was  played  a  thrilling  twelve-inning,  3  to  3  tie-game  at  Macon,  in 
which  Turk  deserved  an  easy  win. 

Oglethorpe  opened  the  South  Carolina  trip  with  a  4  to  1  victory  over 
Furman  at  Greenville,  Turk  again  being  master  of  the  situation. 

Rain  has  hampered  the  progress  of  the  Petrels,  causing  changes  in  the 
schedule.

1919  Baseball  Season 


THE  1919  baseball  season  was  the  best  that  Ogle- 
thorpe has  ever  experienced.     Seventeen  college 


\^J  A    games  were  played,  and  the  Petrels  made  a  good 

^j3L  impression   wherever    they    appeared.      Oglethorpe   met 

■^""^x  some  of  the  best  college  teams  in  the  South,  and  their 

record  shows  that  they  have  improved  wonderfully  in 
three  years. 

Three  men  in  particular  played  brilliantly  all  season 
and  were  the  mainstays  of  the  season.  These  were  Cap- 
tain "Snake"  Reynolds,  on  first;  Cecil  Lemon,  right  field, 
and  "Big  Chief"  Turk,  all-Southern  pitcher. 

Captain  Reynolds  proved  himself  to  be  about  the  best 
first  sacker  in  the  South,  and  batted  about  325 — easily 
the  best  batter  of  any  initial  guardian  around  these  parts. 

Lemon  was  a  first-class  outfielder,  and  a  strong  batter. 
Cecil  looked  good  to  hit  over  .350,  but  an  unexpected 
slump  just  at  the  close  of  the  season  brought  his  average 
down  to  .315. 

"Chief"  Turk  was  the  "find"  of  the  season,  and  his 
work  was  truly  remarkable.  With  proper  support  he 
would  have  won  nearly  every  game  he  pitched.  In  the 
ten  college  games  he  twirled,  "Chief"  compiled  a  grand 
total  of  110  strike-outs,  and  fifty-five  hits,  an  average  of 
eleven  strike-outs  a  game  and  less  than  six  hits.  For  his 
great  work  he  was  honored  on  several  all-Southern  picks. 

Oglethorpe  opened  the  season  in  Athens,  with  the  University  of  Georgia 
in  a  two-game  series.  The  first  game  Georgia  won  10  to  0,  when  Turk  was 
given  rotten  support  by  his  mates,  who  seemed  to  have  stage  fright.  How- 
ever, he  struck  out  ten  men  and  only  gave  up  seven  hits.  The  next  day  the 
Petrels  staged  a  grand  come-back,  with  Holbrook  pitching;  they  tied  Georgia 
2  to  2.    The  work  of  Chestnutt  was  great  in  this  series. 

Then  the  Petrels  took  a  trip  into  South  Carolina,  playing  five  games,  and 
winning  three.  In  the  first  game  with  Furman  at  Greenville,  Turk  held  the 
Hornets  in  check,  and  Oglethorpe  won  8  to  2.  Jack  Reed's  triple  with  the 
bases  loaded  was  the  feature  of  the  game.  Furman  turned  the  tables  the 
next  day,  and  won  9  to  0. 

From  Greenville,  the  Petrels  went  to  Clinton,  the  old  home  of  Dr.  Jacobs, 
to  meet  P.  C.  of  S.  C.  in  a  two-game  series.  Oglethorpe  won  the  first  game 
6  to  1,  and  Turk  fanned  eighteen  men.  The  next  day,  Turk  tried  an  iron-man 
stunt,  and  twirled  again.  He  had  the  Presbyterians  beaten  until  the  ninth 
inning,  when  a  critical  error  gave  Presbyterian  College  the  game,  4  to  3. 

Newberry  College  was  scheduled  for  the  next  day,  but  the  game  was 
rained  out.  Then  Oglethorpe  went  on  to  Columbia,  where  they  met  the 
Carolina  Game  Cocks.    It  was  a  beautiful  game,  and  for  eight  innings,  neither

side  scored.  In  the  ninth  inning.  Captain  Reynolds  singled,  took  second,  and 
scored  on  a  double  by  Nicholes,  who  was  sent  in  as  a  pinch  hitter.  This 
proved  to  be  the  only  run  of  the  game,  and  Oglethorpe  won,  1  to  0. 

On  this  trip,  Turk  made  a  record  that  few  college  pitchers  can  equal. 
"Chief"  pitched  four  games  in  six  days,  winning  three  of  the  four  and  striking 
out  fifty-six  men.  With  proper  support,  he  should  have  won  all  four  games, 
as  he  pitched  great  ball. 

After  the  South  Carolina  trip  came  a  two-game  series  in  Atlanta  with  the 
University  of  Alabama,  the  only  appearance  of  the  Petrels  at  home.  Though 
Oglethorpe  played  the  Crimson  much  closer  games  than  many  other  colleges, 
she  was  simply  outclassed,  and  lost  both  games,  6  to  2,  and  5  to  2.  Alabama 
finally  won  the  undisputed  championship  of  the  S.  I.  A.  A.,  losing  only  one 
game  the  entire  season. 

Then  followed  two  games  with  Auburn;  with  Turk  pitching  steady  ball, 
the  umpire  missed  several  close  ones,  and  Auburn  nosed  out  the  first  in  the 
ten-inning  game,  3  to  2.  The  Tigers  easily  won  the  second  game,  6  to  1.  The 
batting  of  Reynolds  and  Knox  featured. 

For  the  second  time  during  the  season,  the  Petrels  completely  blew  up  at 
Macon  when  they  were  routed  in  the  first  game  by  Mercer,  11  to  1.  How- 
ever, similar  to  the  Georgia  series,  Oglethorpe  staged  another  grand  come- 
back in  the  second  game,  and  would  have  won  except  for  the  marked  gener- 
osity of  the  umpire.    Mercer  won,  3  to  1. 

The  four  last  games  of  the  season  were  played  in  Birmingham  with  How- 
ard College  and  Birmingham  Southern.  Oglethorpe  won  the  first  Howard 
game,  1  to  0,  as  a  result  of  Davenport's  triple  and  Turk's  pitching.  "Chief" 
gave  up  only  one  hit;  Howard  won  the  second  game,  3  to  2. 

The  first  game  with  Birmingham  Southern  College,  Oglethorpe  won 
5  to  2,  and  Turk  pitched  a  no-hit  game.  He  received  ample  reward  for  his 
efforts  from  a  certain  good-looking  Birmingham  girl. 

The  last  game  was  pitched  by  "Claud"  Mason,  who  closed  his  career  as  a 
Petrel.  Mason  pitched  great  ball,  and  deserved  to  win  as  a  fitting  tribute  to 
his  splendid  athletic  record  at  Oglethorpe,  but  was  accorded  rotten  support, 
and  the  Petrels  lost,  4  to  3.    Thus  ended  the  1919  baseball  season. 

The  complete  record  follows: 

Georgia,  10    Oglethorpe,  0  Auburn,  3  Oglethorpe,  2

1918  Baseball  Team 


THE  season  of  1918  was  Oglethorpe's  first  real 
baseball  year,  for  it  was  not  until  this  year  that 
she  won  a  place  in  the  S.  I.  A.  A.  The  season 
and  also  that  year's  playing  was  featured  by  "Red" 
Wingo's  playing,  who  later  made  good  as  a  big-leaguer. 
"Red"  owes  much  of  his  later  success  to  the  training  of 
Coach  Anderson.  He  held  down  the  third  sack  for  most 
of  the  season.  Hope  was  all-Southern  material  this  year 
nd  won  the  hearts  of  all  baseball  fans  by  his  wonderful 
^vork. 

The  season  opened  with  Georgia  Tech.  This  was 
mostly  a  practice  game  in  which  the  Yellow  Jackets  de- 
feated the  Petrels  by  a  close  score.  After  Tech  came 
Davidson  College,  with  one  of  the  season's  best  teams. 
They  had  little  trouble  defeating  the  Oglethorpians,  who 
showed  they  lacked  "pep,"  and  were  a  little  green  at  the 
game. 

The  first  trip  of  the  season  was  to  Clemson  College, 
and  it  was  not  until  this  game  that  the  Petrels  really 
showed  that  they  could  play  ball.  Clemson  was  predi- 
cated to  be  the  S.  I.  A.  A.  champs,  and  on  their  own  "back  yard"  they  were 
sure  to  win.  But  everything  went  against  the  dope,  and  with  Mason's  good 
pitching  and  jam-up  support  from  his  team  mates,  the  Petrels  came  out  vic- 
tors by  the  score  of  3  to  2.  On  the  next  day  Clemson  won  by  the  count  of 
7  to  6. 

Then  came  the  great  team  from  Tennessee,  who  thought  they  could  crush 
the  Georgia  bunch.  But  they  were  mistaken,  for  the  Petrels  played  the 
game  of  their  life,  and  defeated  Vanderbilt  1  to  0,  in  one  of  the  prettiest 
games  of  the  season. 

The  next,  opened  with  Dahlonega,  and  much  to  our  disgust  we  let  the 
little  mountain  team  defeat  us  in  the  first  day's  game  4  to  2,  but  only  to  come 
back  strong  the  next  day  with  a  4  to  0  victory. 

It  was  now  Clemson's  chance  for  revenge,  and  she  took  advantage  of  it 
by  completely  routing  the  Petrels  in  two  games  at  Ponce  de  Leon  Park.  The 
Gold  and  Black  bunch  were  away  out  of  tune  and  played  like  "kids."  How- 
ever, they  succeeded  in  defeating  Dahlonega  at  Grant  Field,  4  to  1,  the  next 
week. 

Although  the  scores  were  against  us  in  most  cases,  the  reader  must  con- 
sider the  teams  we  played  that  year,  and  also  remember  it  was  the  Petrel's 
first  showing.

*  Deceased 


Red  Wingo,  1918 


AMONG  the  candidates  out  for  the  team  of  1918, 
was  seen  a  husky  lad  of  about  nineteen  years, 
■  wearing  a  New  York  uniform,  with  crimson  stock- 
ings. He  had  a  mighty  swing,  which  usually  met  some- 
thing more  substantial  than  the  air.  And  throw  a  base- 
ball— well,  it  took  our  first  baseman  fully  three  weeks 
before  his  hand  became  tough  enough  to  withstand  the 
streak  of  lightning.  This  red-headed  boy  was  none  other 
than  the  famous  "Red"  Wingo,  brother  to  the  big  Cin- 
cinnati catcher. 

"Red"  made  a  wonderful  showing  in  college  baseball, 

nhe  actually  set  things  afire.    His  ability  to  crack  the  ball 
for  several  bases  was  remarkable,  and  his  style  was  all 
that  could  be  asked  of  any  Southern  Leaguer. 
He  was  soon  a  member  of  Charlie  Frank's  crew,  and 
while  with  Atlanta  lead  the  team  in  batting.     You  just 
't  hold  a  good  man  down,  so  "Red"  next  went  to  the  big  league,  and  is 
now  making  good  with  the  Philadelphia  Athletics.

1917  Baseball  Team 


I      for  her  first  baseball  team.     This  was  the  first  year 


N  the  Spring   of   1917,   Oglethorpe  started   practice 


^BT  of  the  University's  existence,  and  although  the  ath- 

"  ^  letic  authorities  thought  best  for  Oglethorpe  not  to  at- 

tempt a  football  team  the  first  season,  it  was  decided  to 
make  a  stand  in  baseball. 

Six  college  games  were  played,  and  while  Oglethorpe 
did  not  win  a  game,  she  did  put  up  a  creditable  showing, 
considering  her  handicaps. 

Hugh  Ricks,  of  Thomasville,  Ga.,  who  played  short- 
H        ■  ''         stop,    was    elected    captain    of    Oglethorpe's    first    team. 

I   '        '*■  Other  members  included  Lucian  Hope,  "Snake"  Reynolds, 

^       |H  "Kid"  Sims,  "Cap"  Boswell,  Claud  Mason,  Bob  Nich- 

H        W  oles,  and  "Peter"  de  Jarnette.     Hope,  the  catcher,  was 

I        IL         ^^^  "find"  of  the  team. 

^       ^QiV  Frank  Anderson  was  appointed  coach  late  in  the  sea- 

Captain  Ricks  son,  and  immediately  began  to  lay  plans  for  the  1918 
team,  as  very  few  colleges  could  be  gotten  for  1917. 
However,  Tech,  Georgia,  and  Clemson  met  and  defeated  the  Petrels  by  the 
respective  scores  of  6  to  3,  7  to  0,  and  9  to  2.  A  Florida  trip  was  made, 
where  Palmer  College  won  three  games,  aided  by  league  athletes,  who  were 
in  training  at  De  Funiak  Springs.

OGLETHORPE  University  had  never  done 
very  much  in  the  line  of  track  work  until 
the  Spring  of  1919,  when  she  entered  her 
first  team  in  the  S.  I.  A.  A.  meet  held  at  Georgia 
Tech.  This  team  was  composed  of  six  men,  and 
all  of  them  did  credit  to  the  University,  for  they  did 
their  best.  But  to  one  do  we  especially  owe  much 
praise,  for  his  hard  and  steady  work,  and  finally 
for  winning  the  100-yard  dash  in  the  big  meet.  We 
refer  to  none  other  than  1920  track  Captain  Mere- 
dith de  Jarnette,  of  Norcross,  Ga. 


Tennis  Tournament 

OGLETHORPE'S  first  tennis  tournament  was  held  in  the  Spring  of 
1919,  and  proved  to  be  most  successful.  It  was  a  novelty,  for  it 
was  our  first.  However,  great  enthusiasm  was  shown  and  heated 
matches  were  pulled  off.  All  the  matches  were  watched  by  large  galleries  in 
spite  of  the  extremely  hot  weather  for  that  season  of  the  year.  Coach  Ander- 
son acted  as  referee.  After  the  drudgery  of  the  first  few  matches  was  over, 
the  tournament  proved  most  exciting,  both  in  the  doubles  and  in  the  singles. 

The  winners  were  not  hard  to  pick,  for  all  during  the  tournament  they 
played  a  wonderful  game,  easily  defeating  all  opponents.  It  was  not  until 
the  finales  that  they  encountered  any  great  difficulty  and  after  a  grueling 
match,  Lemon  and  Price  finally  defeated  their  opponents,  winning  the 
doubles  honors. 

The  singles  were  not  as  exciting  as  they  might  have  been,  for  few  of  the 
contestants  were  in  any  kind  of  condition.  Lemon  and  Price  again  had  to 
fight  it  out,  but  not  this  time  for  double  honors.  Price  fought  hard  but  was 
finally  snowed  under  by  the  champion  for  1919,  Cecil  Lemon.

THE  Boar's  Head  was  founded  at  Oglethorpe  in  January,  1920,  and 
was  the  first  honorary  club  to  be  organized.     Only  men  who  have 
been  prominent  and  successful  in  academic  life  and  school  activi- 
ties are   eligible.     Membership   is   also   limited   to   the  Junior   and   Senior 

The  title  of  the  organization  is  taken  from  the  coat  of  arms  of  Ogle- 
thorpe University,  a  boar's  head  being  a  prominent  feature  of  the  escutcheon. 
The  University  armorial  bearings  are  copied  after  that  of  General  James 
Oglethorpe's  family,  for  whom  our  University  is  named.

THE  Phi  Kappa  Delta  Fraternity  was  established  for  the  purpose  of 
having  in  the  University,  some  honorary  organization  which  selected 
its  members  for  their  scholastic  attainments.  The  fraternity  has  no 
secrets  and  no  initiations.  Membership  in  the  society  is  limited  to  twenty 
per  cent,  of  the  graduating  class.  Before  being  elected  as  a  member  of  the 
fraternity,  a  student  must  have  attained  a  fine  scholastic  record,  and  must  be 
a  man  of  integrity.  The  ultimate  purpose  of  the  society  is  to  have  a  chapter 
of  the  Phi  Beta  Kappa  Fraternity  installed  in  Oglethorpe.

Fraternity  History  of  Oglethorpe 

jATING  from  a  time  when  she  was  considered  first  among  the  institu- 
tions of  the  South,  Oglethorpe's  fraternity  history  is  divided  into 
three  periods. 

The  first  dates  from  the  establishment  of  chapters  in  1859  by  Beta  Theta 
Pi  and  Sigma  Alpha  Epsilon.  This  period  came  to  an  abrupt  end  in  1861, 
when  the  loyal  sons  of  Oglethorpe  marched  away  to  defend  the  Southland. 

The  second  period  was  a  brief  and  unfortunate  one.  It  dates  from  1870- 
73,  when  the  University  was  re-established  in  Atlanta,  only  to  fall  in  the 
general  crash  caused  by  the  financial  disaster  of  the  reconstruction  days. 
However,  the  fraternity  spirit  was  active  at  this  time  for  Kappa  Alpha,  fol- 
lowed by  Chi  Phi  and  Phi  Delta  Theta,  installed  chapters  in  the  school. 

The  third  period  dates  from  May  17,  1918,  when  Pi  Kappa  Phi  was  the 
first  fraternity  to  install  a  chapter  in  new  Oglethorpe.  This  was  followed 
by  Kappa  Alpha,  on  December  1,  1918,  who  revived  her  chapter  of  1871. 

Besides  Kappa  Alpha  and  Pi  Kappa  Phi,  there  are  two  local  clubs,  the 
Alpha  Lambda  and  the  Alpha  Omega.  All  of  these  have  prospered,  and 
they  have  aided  in  establishing  a  fraternal  spirit  that  bids  fair  to  make 
Oglethorpe  one  of  the  most  prominent  fraternity  schools  of  the  South.

The  Oglethorpe  Players 

THE  Oglethorpe  Players  Club  was  organized  in  the  fall  of  1916,  im- 
mediately after  the  opening  of  school,  with  Marion  Gaertner,  pres- 
ident; Chesley  Howard,  vice-president;  Joe  Murphy,  business  man- 
ager, and  Charles  Tidwell,  treasurer.  From  the  very  start,  the  Club  had  the 
very  highest  of  ideals  in  all  dramatic  lines,  and  not  one  time  have  they 
fallen  short.    Every  play  presented  has  been  one  well  worth  while. 

In  the  Spring  of  1917,  the  Players  Club  secured  the  services  of  Miss 
Carolyn  Cobb,  as  director,  and  it  has  been  through  her  persistent  efforts 
that  the  Club  has  attained  success. 

The  first  play  presented  by  the  Oglethorpe  Players  was  "You  Never  Can 
Tell,"  by  Bernard  Shaw,  given  during  the  Spring  of  1917,  and  it  met  with 
overwhelming  success  as  an  amateur  production. 


The  Cast  of  "You  Never  Can  Tell"  was: 

Valentine   Charles   Tidwell 

Dolly  Clandon  Elsie  Trippe 

Phil  Clandon  Fain  Thompson 
Mrs.  Clandon  Louise  Dourough

Gloria  Clandon  Maud  Barker  Cobb 
McComas  Joe  Murphy 

Mr.  Boone  -A..  H.  Hardy 

Waiter  Bryan  Burks 
Maid  Lucile  Wells 

During  the  Spring  of  1918  the  great  play  of  Zangwill,  "The  Melting  Pot," 
so  appropos  to  the  time,  was  presented  and  many  compliments  were  paid  the 
Club  by  dramatic  critics  of  the  city.  In  the  writeups  in  the  daily  papers, 
many  critics  compared  it  favorably  with  professional  shows.  Mr.  Israel 
Lefkoff  carried  off  the  banner  role  with  the  skill  and  ease  of  a  professional. 

The  Cast  of  "The  Melting  Pot"  was  : 

David  Quixano  Israel  Lefkoff 

Mendel    Quixano Marion    Gaertner

Last  year,  under  the  guidance  of  William  Rhodes  Carlisle,  as  president, 
the  Oglethorpe  Players  enjoyed  its  most  successful  season.  The  play,  which 
was  "The  Magistrate,"  by  Pinero,  was  sponsored  by  the  Oglethorpe  Woman's 
Board,  and  due  to  the  untiring  efforts  of  this  Board,  a  full  house  greeted  the 


^g^y^MACRA^ 


actors  on  the  night  of  June  6.  Atlanta  papers  called  this  "the  cream  of  all 
amateur  productions,"  and  further  stated  that  "it  would  have  done  credit  to 
many  a  professional  company."  All  of  Atlanta  was  anxiously  awaiting  the 
next  production  from  this  group. 


The  Cast  of  "The  Magistrate"  was  as  follows:

The  Oglethorpe  Players  owe  a  great  deal  of  their  success  to  the  young 
ladies  who  have  so  ably  aided  them  in  their  casts  and  to  the  members  of  the 
Woman's  Board,  who  have  worked  untiringly  to  get  large  and  appreciative 
audiences  to  the  plays  presented.  The  members  of  the  Club  are  grateful  for 
these  services,  and  they  have  the  thanks  not  only  of  the  members,  but  of  the 
Faculty  and  student  body  as  well.

The  Orchestra 

THE  Oglethorpe  Orchestra  has  been  in  existence  for  two  years,  and  in 
that  time  they  have  made  several  appearances  in  public,  all  of  which 
have  reflected  favorably  on  the  members.    Their  efforts  were  recently 
rewarded  by  a  gift  of  $500  from  the  Women's  Board  of  the  University,  the 
money  to  be  used  in  the  purchase  of  more  instruments. 


The  personnel  of  the  orchestra  is 


J.  R.  Murphy,  Violin 
H.  C.  Trimble,  Violin 
Frank  Sims,  Flute 
R.  W.  Chance,  Drum 


Infirmary 


THE  University  maintains  at  all  times  in  the  build- 
ing an  infirmary,  with  a  graduate  nurse  in  attend- 
ance, for  the  prompt  treatment  of  accidents  and 
of  such  cases  of  sickness  as  may  occur.  By  this  means 
prolonged  and  serious  illness  can  often  be  prevented. 
During  the  recent  influenza  epidemic  vigorous  measures 
were  taken  at  once,  with  the  result  that,  while  there  were 
a  relatively  small  number  of  cases,  there  were  no  fatalities. 
There  is  a  University  physician  who  can  be  secured  on 
short  notice  when  his  services  are  needed. 

The  infirmary  was  established  during  the  S.  A.  T.  C. 
regime  at  Oglethorpe. 

Miss  Mary  Feebeck  is  at  present  in  charge  of  the  in- 
firmary, and  under  her  capable  management  practically  no 
sickness  has  befallen  the  Oglethorpians. 


The  Oglethorpe  Farm 


^HORTLY  after  the  opening  of  the  University,  the  school  authorities 
realized  the  impracticability  of  buying  all  farm  and  dairy  products 
from  retailers,  owing  to  the  high  prices. 

So,  in  the  Spring  of  1918,  a  dairy  was  installed  on  the  campus.  Through 
the  generosity  of  Dr.  Milton  N.  Armstrong,  it  was  started  by  the  donation 
of  a  pure-bred  Jersey  cow.  More  cows  were  rapidly  added,  until  the  dairy 
became  large  enough  to  furnish  the  school  with  all  milk  required  for  use  by 
the  students. 

Another  feature  of  the  farm,  which  is  nearly  as  important  as  the  dairy, 
is  the  truck  farm.  Nearly  all  of  the  vegetables  consumed  by  the  boarding 
students  are  raised  by  this  department. 

Besides  the  two  departments  named,  there  is  a  "Hog  Department."  This  is 
composed  of  forty  head  of  swine. 

The  poultry  department  is  as  yet  in  its  infancy.  However,  at  the  present 
time,  it  furnishes  the  Oglethorpians  with  about  eight  dozen  eggs  weekly. 

Beginning  with  approximately  six  acres  of  land,  the  Oglethorpe  farm  has 
grown  to  one  hundred  and  twenty-six  acres,  through  the  gifts  of  the  Silver 
Lake  Park  Co.  and  Mr.  Stewart,  one  of  Oglethorpe's  loyal  supporters.

The  Petrel 

THE  Petrel  was  founded  at  Oglethorpe  on  September  25,  1919,  by  R.  G. 
Nicholes,  assisted  by  N.  M.  de  Jarnette,  John  H.  Goff,  and  W.  C.  John- 
son.   As  the  University's  athletic  teams  are  called  the  stormy  Petrels, 
it  was  decided  to  adopt  this  name  for  the  college  paper. 

The  Petrel  appears  every  Friday,  published  by  the  students  of  Oglethorpe, 
who,  represented  by  the  editors,  control  the  paper's  policy. 

N.  M.  de  Jarnette,  as  managing  editor,  has  charge  of  the  finances  and  the 
arrangement  of  the  copy  for  the  press.  John  Goff,  with  W.  C.  Johnson,  act 
as  news  editors.  R.  G.  Nicholes,  who  is  the  athletic  editor  and  general 
manager,  has,  by  indefatigable  work,  been  the  mainstay  of  the  publication. 
It  was  only  by  his  untiring  efforts  that  the  paper  was  able  to  get  on  its  feet 
financially,  which  was  the  greatest  problem  encountered  in  its  founding. 
J.  R.  Terrell,  Jr.,  editorial  writer,  has  filled  his  position  well.  He  has 
made  many  valuable  suggestions  pertaining  to  the  different  phases  of  school 
life,  both  pro  and  con.  J.  H.  Burns  has  shown  ability  in  his  work.  His 
baseball  stories,  "Bench  Gossip,"  are  very  readable.  The  circulation  and 
exchange  work  have  been  ably  attended  to  by  F.  K.  Sims,  Jr.,  and  C.  S. 
Tidwel 


The  S.  A.  T.  C.  at  Oglethorpe 

FROM  October  1st  to  December  5th,  1918,  Uncle  Sam  had  charge  of 
the  Oglethorpians.  September  20th  found  about  400  men  on  the  Ogle- 
thorpe campus,  all  desiring  a  place  in  the  ranks.  But  owing  to  the 
limited  quarters,  only  250  of  that  number  were  enrolled.  Actual  training 
started  under  the  direction  of  Major  E.  T.  Winston  on  September  25th,  but 
the  men  received  no  compensation  for  their  work  until  after  October  1st, 
Congress  having  passed  certain  laws  to  that  effect. 

Immediately  after  the  induction  of  the  students,  three  lieutenants  were 
sent  to  Oglethorpe,  all  of  whom  were  graduates  of  Junior  Plattsburg.  They 
were:  Montgomery  G.  Potter,  who  was  made  company  commander  by  Major 
Winston;  Robert  G.  Goldsby,  administration  officer,  and  Ross  P.  Cox,  in- 
structor of  small  arms. 

Under  the  direction  of  these  officers,  the  Oglethorpe  men  learned  much 
about  warfare,  and  many  were  picked  for  training  camps  for  officers,  but 
owing  to  the  early  ending  of  the  war,  none  of  the  men  ever  adorned  them- 
selves with  shoulder  bars. 

The  Main  Building  was  not  spacious  enough  to  accommodate  all  the 
men,  so  fifty  tents  were  sent  in  by  Camp  Gordon,  which  served  as  temporary 
homes  for  the  men  until  the  Government  could  erect  proper  barracks. 

With  the  signing  of  the  armistice  on  November  11th,  the  fighting  spirit 
at  Oglethorpe  began  to  wane,  for  the  men  saw  that  a  trip  across  was  not  to 
come  their  way. 

Though  every  Oglethorpian  is  proud  of  having  been  in  the  service  of  his 
country,  all  were  glad  to  get  a  discharge  from  the  army  after  the  war  was 
over,  and  this  they  received  on  December  5th,  1918,  together  with  a  bit  of 
money,  each  man  being  paid  $30  a  month  and  his  $60  bonus.

The  Harold  King  Post  of  the   American  Legion 


THE  Harold  King  Post  of  the  American  Legion  was  organized  at  Ogle- 
thorpe University  in  January,  1920,  by  Morton  Nicholes,  formerly  a 
Lieutenant  of  Artillery  of  the  United  States  Army,  and  veteran  of 
overseas  service.  This  post  is  composed  of  former  S.  A.  T.  C.  and  ex-service 
men.  The  post  is  named  in  honor  of  Harold  King,  a  former  Oglethorpe 
student  who  lost  his  life  in  the  service.  It  is  a  rule  of  the  American  Legion 
that  a  post  of  the  Legion  can  be  named  for  no  living  person. 

The  post  has  adopted  a  constitution  which  is  modeled  after  the  State  and 
National  Constitution  of  the  American  Legion. 

The  Harold  King  Post  is  advocating  several  reforms.  It  is  taking  an 
active  part  in  American  Legion  work  in  Georgia.  A  contribution  was  made 
by  the  Harold  King  Post  to  a  fund  which  is  to  be  used  for  the  erection  of  a 
monument  on  the  site  of  the  First  Battle  of  the  Marne  in  commemoration  of 
the  victory  of  the  French  forces  there  in  1914.  This  monument  is  to  be  a 
gift  to  France  by  the  American  people.  It  will  stand  almost  in  sight  of  the 
graves  of  50,000  American  soldiers  who  died  there. 

The  following  men  are  officers  of  the  Harold  King  Post:  Walter  B. 
Jameson,  post  commander;  Frank  Simpson,  vice-commander;  E.  C.  James, 
Jr.,  post  adjutant;  J.  H.  Price,  finance  officer;  Herbert  Gilkeson,  historian; 
Dr.  A.  S.  Libby,  chaplain. 

Jameson,  a  veteran  of  foreign  service,  did  brilliant  work  with  the  Twenty- 
Sixth  Division.  He  was  overseas  eighteen  months,  and  was  a  sergeant  in  the 
Signal  Corps  of  that  Division.  He  was  engaged  in  all  battles  in  which  that 
Division  took  part.  The  other  men  are  ex-S.  A.  T.  C.  soldiers,  with  the  ex- 
ception of  Dr.  Libby,  who  was  a  Major  in  the  Intelligence  Department  of 
the  General  Staff  of  the  United  States  Army.  He  was  overseas  for  practically 
the  duration  of  the  war.

DR.  CHESTON  KING  GIVES  ENGLISH  LIBRARY  TO  OGLETHORPE, 
WORTH  TWENTY  THOUSAND  DOLLARS 

THE  Oglethorpe  Library  has  been  built  by  contributions  from  all  over 
the  country.  It  now  contains  something  over  eight  thousand  volumes, 
including  the  best  German  reference  library  in  the  South.  The 
Women's  Board  of  Oglethorpe  recently  contributed  a  sum  of  nearly  five 
hundred  dollars,  to  be  expended  by  the  librarian,  for  badly  needed  reference 
books.  The  library  has  been  under  the  charge  of  Miss  Elwyn  de  Graffenreid 
ever  since  Oglethorpe  opened  in  1916. 

Dr.  Cheston  King,  one  of  the  trustees  of  Oglethorpe,  has  presented  the 
University  with  a  magnificent  library  of  English  reference  books.  This 
library,  which  is  valued  at  about  $20,000,  will  be  known  as  "The  Cheston 
King  Library".  It  was  the  property  of  the  late  Dr.  Theodore  Victor  of 
Marburg,  Germany.  Dr.  Victor  was  one  of  the  most  distinguished  German 
students  of  English.  These  volumes  were  the  personal,  private  collection  of 
Dr.  Victor,  collected  during  his  life  time.  This  will  be  the  most  complete 
library  of  English  south  of  Washington.  By  means  of  this  library  it  will  be 
possible  to  carry  on  Ph.D.  in  English.  The  collection  consists  of  about  2,500 
bound  volumes  and  3,000  pamphlets.  This  addition  will  bring  the  nimiber 
of  books  in  the  library  up  to  about  10,000  volumes.  The  library  will  be 
housed  in  the  new  Oglethorpe  building,  Lupton  Hall,  the  gift  of  J.  T.  Lupton 
of  Chattanooga,  Tenn. 


IN  completing  this  volume 
thanks  should  be  rendered  to: 
Blosser- Williams  Co., Printers, 
C.  R.  Beckwith,  who  rendered 
valuable  assistance  in  securing 
advertisements;  Thurston  Hatcher 
Photographer,  and  Dr.  Thornwell 
Jacobs,  President  Oglethorpe

Have  you  bought  ties  that  were 
correct  style,  but  became  rumpled 
and  shapeless  after  a  few  wear- 
ings? 

Next  time  look  for  the  All  Star 
label.  It  is  your  assurance  of  long 
wear.  The  style  is  right  and  the 
shape  endures. 

Preferred  by  discriminating  men. 


T'HE  same  spirit  which  animates 
you  to  do  or  die  for  Oglethorpe 
incites    us    to    fight    for    Atlanta, 
Georgia,  and  Dixie. 


This  BANK  stands  for 
CHARACTER  and  is  a 
splendid  institution  for 
you  to  grow  up  with. 


Oglethorpe  University 

AND  THE  CITY 
OF  ATLANTA 


Offer  the  young  men  of  the  Nation  modern  educa- 
tional facilities  in  the  wholesome  and  inspiring  at- 
mosphere of  modern  thought  and  activity. 


THE    SCHOOLS 

Of  LIBERAL  ARTS,  SCIENCE,  LITERATURE 
and  JOURNALISM,  and  COMMERCE  are  open 
all  the  year  and  students  may  enter  at  the  begin- 
ning of  any  one  of  the  four  terms  as  follows  i 
September  24,  January  2,  April  1  and  July  6. 


LIFE    INSURANCE 

is  the  most  perfectly  developed  social 
program  (in  its  largest  meaning)  of 
modern  times. 

The  Courts  and  Legislatures  (State 
and  National)  permit  Life  Insurance 
Companies  to  make  contracts  with  their 
members  that  no  other  institution  is  per- 
mitted to  make. 

Do  you  know  the  reasons  why  this  is 
so? 

Do  you  know  that  the  opportunities 
for  the  finest  service  to  your  fellows  is 
possible  in  this  business  ? 

Do  you  know  large  rewards  and  dis- 
tinction accompany  the  successful  rep- 
resentatives   of   this    great   program  ? 

Its  chief  requirements  are  character, 
brains,    courage,    intelligence,    initiative. 

Don't  ignore  this  great  institution  in 
your  studies.
