DEDlCATIOI\
The great scientist and benefactor of humanity,
Louis Pasteur, once said, "... say to yourself first,
what have I done for my instruction, and as you
gradually advance, ask 'what have I done for my
country' until the time comes when you may have the
immense happiness of thinking that you have con-
tributed in some way to the progress and good of
humanity."
Such a happiness and satisfaction must come to our
beloved Dr. James Freeman Sellers who has given the
better years of his life to the advancement of science
and humanity.
In all of his years of teaching "Uncle Jeff," as he
is affectionately known, has always been loved, re-
spected, and honored by all who have come in contact
with him.
We, the student body, hope that this dedication
may express, in a humble way, the honor and affection
which we hold for our beloved Dean.
FOREWORD
The planning and editing of an annual is always
V. tedious and thankless task. We have all worked
faithfully and have done the best we could to make
this annual live up to your expectations.
Ii in some future time, as you thumb through the
pages of this annual, it brings back fond memories
of your college days and your college associates we
will feel that our efforts have not been in vain. With
this thought in mind we submit this Yamacraw to
you hoping that you will always treasure it as an
authentic record of your college days.

THEME
Since the beginning of time man has worked,
earnestly, patiently, conscientiously, for the better-
ment of his environment and happiness of life.
In the advancement toward this goal science has
played a very important role. Much ignorance and
suffering have been destroyed and replaced by
science.
It is our hope that as you read through this book
the splendid drawings which depict the theme, the
progress of science, will cause you to pause and think
of the great gap that has been bridged between man
as he is and his goal by the untiring and ceaseless
efforts of those who have given their lives to the
betterment of mankind through the advancement
of science.

Tlie Preshloiit's Message
Each year in my Cosmic History class I have a
very special pri\ilege granted me, that of meeting
and knowing personally everj' one of the boys and
girls who are to be gi'aduated by the University in
May. I have noticed a very interesting thing about
these classes, that no two are alike and each has its
own personality, differing from the others just as
indi\'iduals do.
A number of times this year I have thought to
myself that the class of 1936 is one of the most in-
teresting of them all. There have been other classes
■«-ith a larger proportion of brilliant students. There
have been other classes with a larger number of de-
linquent students. But I thirik that your class has
this quality about it. that it is not only better than
the average but it has exhibited an interest in the
subject and a desire to master it which is very gratify-
ing to the teacher.
Now I think that these qualities are just those
which are going to make for success in your after
lives. In spite of the fact that there seem to be many
years behind you and much hard work, you are going
to find that you are just at the beginning of yom-
careers. You will learn much more in the future
than you have in the past. Life is the greatest of all
universities. I have both the faith and hope that you
have been so trained that you will not fail to pass its
examinations.
Heartily yours.

Fair Alma Mater, Oglethorpe,
Thou didst for others die,
And now above thv 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 mould
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.

Shortly after the opening of the University for the new school year,
active members of the four national fraternities on the campus — those
interested in the development of ciose relationship — gathered and for-
mulated plans for Oglethorpe's revised inter-fraternity council.
The purpose of the council, as stated in the constitution, leads to the
creation of harmony and co-operation among the fraternities on the Uni-
versity's campus, and to regulate rushing on the campus.

THE YAMACRAW — 1936
PAN HELLENIC COUNCIL
Sororities did not come to tlie campus of tlie University until 1920,
only a few years after co-education became a part of the program of the
Universitty. It was in 1920 that a group of girls banned themselves to-
gether under the name of Zeta Tau Sorority, which in 1930 became the
Alpha Tau Chapter of Kappa Delta, leading the way to the founding of
two other such organizations up to the present time.
Two years after the founding of Zeta Tau another female organi-
zation, Sigma Alpha Sorority, was established. And another two years
after its organization it became the Sigma Gamma Chapter of the Na-
tional Sorority, Chi Omega. The chapter was established in 1924.
The third and last sorority to come to the campus was Phi Kappa
Eta, a local which was organized in 1927. In 1930 it became the Chi
Chapter of Beta Phi Alpha, a National Sorority.
One of the most harmonious movements of the three Sororities took
place when a Pan-Hellenic Council was organized for the promotion of
closer relationship. The council has been very active this year.

The Prayer
Of Oglethorpe University
FATHER OF WISDOM, MASTER OF THE SCHOOLS OF MEN, OF
THINE ALL-KNOWLEDGE GRANT ME THIS MY PRAYER: THAT
1 MAY BE WISE IN THEE. SINK THOU MY FOUNDATIONS
DEEP INTO THY BOSOM UNTIL THEV REST UPON THE VAST
ROCK OF THY COUNSEL. LIFT' THOU MY WALLS INTO THE
CLEAR EMPYREAN OF THY''' TRUTH. COVER ME WITH THE
WINGS THAT SHADOW FROM ALL HARM. LAY MY THRESH-
OLDS IN HONOR AND MY LINTELS IN LOVE. SET THOU MY
FLOORS IN THE CEMENT OF UNBREAKABLE FRIENDSHIP AND
MAY MY WINDOWS BE TRANSPARENT WITH HONESTY. LEAD
THOU UNTO ME, LORD GOD, THOSE WHOM THOU HAST AP-
POINTED TO BE MY CHILDREN, AND WHEN THEY SHALL
COME WHO WOULD LEARN OF ME THE WISDOM OF THE
YEARS, LET THE CRIMSON OF MY WINDOWS GLOW WITH
THE LIGHT OF THE WORLD. LET THEM SEE, 0 MY LORD,
HIM WHOM THOU HAST SHOWN ME; LET THEM HEAR HIM
WHOSE VOICE HAS WHISPERED TO ME AND LET THEM REACH
OUT THEIR HANDS AND TOUCH HIM WHO HAS GENTLY LED
ME UNTO THIS GOOD DAY. ROCK-RIBBED MAY I STAND FOR
THY TRUTH. LET THE STORMS OF EVIL BEAT ABOUT ME
IN VAIN. MAY I SAFELY SHELTER THOSE WHO COME UNTO
ME FROM THE WINDS OF ERROR. LET THE LIGHTNING THAT
LIES IN THE CLOUD OF IGNORANCE BREAK UPON MY HEAD
IN DESPAIR. MAY THE YOUNG AND THE PURE AND THE
CLEAN-HEARTED PUT THEIR TRUST SECURELY IN ME NOR
MAY ANY WHO COME TO MY HAXLS FOR GUIDANCE BE
SENT ASTRAY. LET THE BLUE ASHLARS OF MY BREAST
THRILL TO THE HAPPY SONGS OF THE TRUE-HEARTED AND
MAY THE VERY HEART OF MY CAMPUS SHOUT FOR JOY
AS IT FEELS THE TREAD OF THOSE WHO MARCH FOR GOD.
ALL THIS I PRAY THEE; AND YET THIS MORE: THAT THERE
MAY BE NO STAIN UPON MY STONES, FOREVER. AMEN.

The fall of Nineteen Hundred and Thirty-Five saw the resurrection
of the Oglethorpe Glee Club. The organization had existed for some
time previous to 1932, but that year it dissolved.
Sterling Lanier, the present director, was the man who did for the
University the great service of reorganizing a glee club.
In the autumn of 1933 the club was scarcely more than a quartet,
but Spring came with new material and much hard work brought forth
a group of fine male voices worthy to be called a Glee Club. Critics
Called "wonderful" this quick transformation of raw material into a
finished man's chorus.
A Glee Club for women was organized and directed by Mr. Lanier
in the fall of 1934, and the male and female clubs sang jointly in a num-
ber of songs in concerts.
The Glee Club of 1935-36 is also a mixed chorus, singing well known
songs by famous composers.

classed. In the first game the Petrels won 6-1. The ccore at the end of
tine second game was 12-2.
The Florida "Gators" came to Atlanta and were defeated by the
Petrels 9-7 in the first game. Ed Clements pitched the Petrels to an-
other win the next dav striking out thirteen men, the final s;ore being
5-3.
The Petrels then journeyed to Athens where they beat Georgia two
games, 6-0, 5-1.
The squad then left on a trip to Florida and on the way down, stop-
ped off at Cochran where thev played Middle Georgia College, the game
ending in a thirteen inning tie of 3-3.

Oglethorpe University
IIS TRADITION, AND IN ACHIEVEMENTS,
PRESENTS SOME REMARKABLE FACTS
1. The proportion of the members of her
faculty to be found in Who's Who in
America is larger than that of any
ether college or university in the Unit-
ed Statss.
2. The cosmopolitan nature of her faculty
is more marked than that' of any
"small college" in the United States,
this faculty having been drawn from
Maine to California.
3. The campus of the University is per-
haps the most remarlvable of any col-
lege in the south in that it' embraces
six hundred acres of woodland and
meadow, including an eighty-acre lake.
4. The buildings of the Universit'y are be-
yond doubt the handsomest in the state
of Georgia.
5. Oglethorpe University possesses the
only known contemporary portTaits of
General James Edward Oglethorpe,
the founder of Georgia, and one of
Sir John Percival, President of the
Board of Trustees which established
tha commonwealth.
6. Oglethorpe University is the only col-
lege for men in Georgia able to teach
pure science and pure religion without
intei'ferenca of ecclesiasl'ical or state
and city politicians.
7. Oglethorpe University can at present
boast that it is the only college or
university in the state of class "A"
standing, to be fully and legally in-
spected and accredited by the Board
of Education of the State of Georgia.
8. Oglethorpe University is the first and
at present the only university in the
world to adapt radio broadcasting,
fully and completely to the purpose
of education.
9. Oglethorpe University is t'he only col-
leg-e for men in the State of Georgia
which offers a complete course in Com-
mercial and Fine Art.
10. Oglethorpe University is the only col-
lege or university in Georgia to pos-
sess a complete set of college chimes.
11. Oglethorpe University is the only col-
lege or universit'y in the south and one
of the few in America which owns and
operates its own University Press.
12. Oglethorpe University has begun work
on what is believed to be the only col-
lege granite stadium in the United
States.
13. Oglethorpe University is believed I'd
possess a role of "honorary alumni
whose standing and achievements are
proportionately unequalled by any
small college in the United States, in-
cluding two presidents of the Unit'ed
States — Woodrow Wilson and Frank-
lin Delano Roosevelt.
14. The history of the old Oglethorpe
dates back to 1823. As a classical in-
stitution of learning her doors opened
in 1835 and she was thus the oldest
independent college or university be-
tween the Atlantic and Pacific oceans,
south of the Virginia line. Such names
33 Sidney Lanier, Samuel K. Tal-
madge, James Woodrow, Joseph Le-
Conte, Joseph R. Wilson, B. M. Pal-
mer and J. H. Thornwell are associat-
ed with her early history and make
he** memory glorious.
