Is it soon to die out at Pennsylvania, as many have been of late predicting ? It has not yet shown signs of so doing, we hope and pray that it may not, and we believe it will not. For what makes these four years the happiest years of our lives ? Not the work, however we may enjoy that, for that will always be with us. Not the play, for we played incessantly before we entered. But to leave our work or to leave our play at the call of the class, to struggle for her name in a bitter and unapplauded game, or in an impromptu battle- how much more has this meant to us! Something for which to "get together," and through four years to stay together, the class has supplied. And we saw this from the start and made the most of our stay, and we believe that every man who has the making of a college man within him will, on entering, see the same, and let no accident of class-room and instructor steal from him the friendships and the memories that class spirit can bring to him. 5 And now may we not be pardoned if we count the trials through which our class has brought us, and through which we have brought our class, worthy of a little paper and a little ink? No one else has lived exactly our life; no one else has felt just these troubles and just these pleasures. Perhaps then no one else will care to hear them recounted in our self-satisfied way. But we to whom they are real shall enjoy them, and this we can promise at least, that our pleasure in these reminiscences ends with a feeling not of self-importance, but of gratitude to the sources of them all-the Class, the College, the University.

We have lost many jolly fellows and loyal classmen. Some may have been too good to last, possibly a few did not last because they were not good enough, but most were forced away by circumstances beyond their control. Two went from our midst at the summons of death, James Cochran and Vanlear Murfin, men respected and loved by all who knew them; and our loss was a heavy one. They have gone from the Class Mortal to the Class Eternal, but they left a record that was manly and honorable and the mem- ory of them is one of our cherished possessions. The others left for various reasons; Earnest du Pont had a powder-mill and a lovely young woman, since known as Mrs. du Pont, waiting for him, and as he realized the somewhat uncertain and volatile nature of both these articles, decided to go down and take possession at the end of his Sophomore year. Jimmy Lindsay stuck it out for three years, but finding that his college work took too much time from golf practice, failed to turn up for the last round. Elwell quickly found that the Wharton School could not present problems worthy of an intellect of his calibre, and devoted himself to chess and the Law School. 50 Henry Hibbs and a few others were so enamored of being Freshmen that they decided to repeat the experience, but only one man deserted to the enemy. Charles Keen Taylor, after a checkered career between the Engineering and Arts Courses, found that he couldn't work off any more of his verse on the University publications, so he packed a carpet-bag full of rejected manuscripts and started for Cornell. But they would have none of him, and they sent the typhoid bugs after him so hard that he was glad to come back to his old Alma Mater. And then there was Fernandez, who went back to his Sunny South, and Marshall Morgan, who pulled so hard on the fall crew, that he took a year to recuperate. Drayton exchanged the bonds of good fellowship for those of wedlock, and our esteemed friend, Percy Swayne, after leading a prominent though somewhat checkered life among us, departed for his native heath in the Everglades of Florida. These are a few examples of the illustrious ones who have fallen by the wayside, and whose names you may read below. And we are sure that, despite their departure and absence from us, they still cherish in fond recollection the fact that they could at one time call themselves members in full standing of the Class of 1903.

HISTORY OF THE CLASS S1 O NOW that we have secured from the editors of the Class Record the sole right to dramatize their work and present it on the stage, it is only to be expected that following them we begin the pro- duction-melodrama or burlesque, as you will-almost four years back. It was all new to us when we came to chapel that Friday at ten, and guided by Providence, took our seats-and not those of the Sophs. We had never heard that opening speech of the Provost's, which grows dearer to us every year that we hear it. We had never listened to the upper-classmen singing with bared heads and confident voices, "You'll get all that's a-coming to you." We had never attended so important an event as the one hundred and fifty-ninth anniversary of the institution and of the Dean's 73 remark that rooms beginning with one hundred would be found upon the first floor, rooms beginning with two hundred would be found upon the second floor, rooms beginning with the floor and ending with the ceiling would be found scattered throughout the building and room for improvement would be found in all the faculty but Pomp and himself. Aftei' the speeches and the yells we were sent to various instructors, each of whom told us of a complete but to us unsatisfactory way of spending our money. They each emphasized the fact that work would begin on Monday. But on Monday we were thinking of the next day's hall rush-whether we would or wouldn't go in. It seemed so indecent to us Freshmen to run around in such lack of costume, with no dormitory windows full of ladies as at the bowl fight. So some of us went out and read the result of the scrap in the Bulletin, while the rest of us were inside fighting it out. With Bill Gardiner as leader we won two rushes in the corridor and then failed to dislodge the corner-man, so that the fight resulted in a draw. The Sophs tried little hazing in the Dorms, for their courteous reception, a treat to scrambled eggs, made them feel kindly towards us. As a matter of custom, they posted some giddy "procs," telling us what we might wear, smoke, eat and breathe while near the College. At once we were seized with a desire to wear the forbidden red and blue, in the shape of neckties, and we set a day for their appearance. Unfortunately we straggled in one by one, met the Sophs seven by seven, and the neckties did not survive. The sensation of the day was Bill Gardiner's fight, over by the Houston Club. Not being bold enough to cut, we sent a messenger down at the end of each hour to see whether Bill was still scrapping, and the answer always was "Yes"; until at last the tie dissolved like the one-hoss-shay, and Bill went down to play football for exercise. Soon after this we held a meeting to adopt a class pin. The Sophs came down the hall, making unpleasant noises as they came. We shut the door and held it, while Bill, who was now our president, said, "Fellows, here's a design by Schamberg, of our class. It's as near to being good as any. Will it do?" We all shouted "Sure," and started for the hall. We plowed through the Sophs to the other end of the corridor, gathered together and plowed back again. We see-sawed back and forth till the pivot of the see-saw was worn out. Then we gave a yell for the pivot, out of pure generosity, and went off to after- noon hours or to the chess-boards. The next day's Pennsylvanian announced that the object of the Sophs had been to stay where they were in the hall, and that 1902's victory had been overwhelming. That was before Laird acted as censor upon the Pennsylvanian s copy. 74 We tried to have a crew that fall and finally found a candidate for each oar. But we were handi- capped for lack of coaching, since the "Ben Franklin's" engines could not be geared low enough to stay behind us, and we had to learn by patterning after Faught and Dravo. Thanks to Tupper's steering, how- ever, the crew finished on the same day as the race, and they called a class meeting the next morning to vote themselves caps and sweaters. The banquet was held at Boothby's after Christmas. The Sophs did not molest us, for having had no Freshman banquet to speak of, they did not think we would attempt one. It was at this banquet that George Keller made a pun, and somebody, undoubtedly Al Brunker, laughed. Think of the difference if he hadn't laughed, or had sadly answered "Rats! Keller, you'll drive us to drink." Perhaps our four years would have been in this respect less painful. The fact that we had college duties all this time is worth recalling. The first of these duties was to go to chapel; for the authorities have found that if you force the Freshmen to go to chapel they will learn to love it, and will never cease to go when upper-classmen. The Provost used to come out about twice a week to follow us in our prayers; but Dr. Harper began to feel for Philadelphia money, and then the Dean had to conduct the exercises alone. In the class-room we were all in deadly earnest. Some were anxious to find out how to stay, and others to find out the easiest way to stay. Some were tossing pennies to see whether they loved chapel more, or Gibbons, and a few were making reputations upon which to live for three more years. When the mid-year results were posted, Cope, son of Jesse, led with eight D's. Everybody began to point out Cope to everybody else, and Deacon Yerkes, with his pitiful seven, tried in vain to find a silver lining for his cast of countenance. In March the bowl fight was announced. It was postponed on account of frozen grounds, postponed again on account of wet grounds, postponed several times more on various grounds, including a squabble over the rules and the fact that Metzger's lady friends were out of town, and finally was held on the twenty-second-the twenty-second of March, not the twenty-second attempt. All the men who were famous enough to escape the charge of "cold feet" stayed out, pleading orders, as usual, from Mike Mur- phy or Ward or Gibbons or some other of the professors. Kneedler, our bowl man, appeared in a red sweater. He was introduced to the Sophomore guards, who assured themselves by pinching him that he was real. When the whistle blew, Dave settled all doubts on this point by backing into our class, tearing off the red sweater to show a black one, and scooting around the end with his guards, into Spruce street. 75 Iii the second half our object was to obtain complete possession of the bowl, and as we were in the majority we agreed each to drag out a Sophomore and hold him down. By elementary mathematics it can be seen that this was sure to win. But the upper-classmen and Aleds, for whose joint benefit the lights are con- ducted, pulled us apart and threw us back into the heap, so that the Sophs kept enough fingers on the chopping dish to make the fight a draw. Just to show our liking for trouble we gathered on the Library steps the next day and posed for our class picture. But there was no trouble coming. A few Sophs gathered in the Architects' barracks and threw electric-light globes at us, but that was all. And we did not need these lights, for Gardiner was in the president's chair; and every hair in Bill's head was giving us three long rays, in spite of the fact that Hildebrand was two more years in planning that yell. Our baseball team that year was typical of 1903. All branches of industry have been represented on our ball teams-crew men, football men, lacrosse men and Greek tragedians; but if ever there was a ball player he hid his light under a bushel of errors. All the historian recorded in Freshman year was "Lost to Sophs." No doubt the score was painful. We noticed that Leary and Devlin took the first opportunity to leave the class. But on the track we squared accounts. Afetzgei' and De Armond took the dashes, and W. J. Smith sud- denly found himself a hurdler and high-jumper. But the desertion of Spoerl, the real athlete among the Archi- tects, left us weak in the distances. Finally the contest narrowed down to the hammer-throw, and then to third place in the hammer-throw. Each side tried to find a man who could heave the thing seventy feet at least. We called on "Loui" Clark and he failed. Then Bill Gardiner was sent for and he came on the run. But alas, he didn't know how. The hammer went up in the air and came down with a thud. Three thuds and the Sophs had won. Sixty-three and a quarter to sixty-two and three-quarters was the remark- able score. But we did away with the points which had been won for them by one Howell, who had left college when the Wharton School minimum was raised to ten hours, and we were winners-in something -at last. The last of our year's competitions, and certainly the best, was our spring crew's race at Pough- keepsie. Handicapped in age and strength, they were defeated by Wisconsin, but they pulled away from the yell-yell-yell, and were the first of Penn's Freshman crews to taste that pleasure. When we came back next fall, we eagerly took our places in chapel in the Sophomore seats, notic- ing that they were fewer in number and nearer to the Dean than those assigned the Freshmen. The Provost 76 had in his speech, this year, a new clause which pleased us immensely. Tn the passage which refers to Pennsylvania's future, he turned to the attentive Fresh and said, "The time will come when those who are sitting in these seats for the first time will be sensible"-but we took one glance at 1904 and saw that our Provost was hoping against hope. We had the time-honored fights to go through with, this year, but from the other point of view; and we invented a few of our own after we found what harmless amusement 1904 would give us. Of course the hall rush was a draw, that being one of the rules. After this there appeared a few red-and-blue neck- ties, which came off as easily as any smile but a Quaker Oats smile; and then on the Monday before Thanksgiving both classes went down to see the class football game. Franklin Field was so wet that the coaches would not let us play a game on it, but they said we might roll it with Sterner and Mitchell. First we had to rescue the red and blue bv stripping off the uniforms of the Freshman team. This took an hour, such is the Freshman's belief in his right to wear the colors. Next came the mud-bath treat- ment, after a short course of which Mitchell declared himself entirely cured. By sunset we had finished a job of which we had just cause to be proud; but soon we paid for it, for 1904 covered Spruce street with the most humiliating posters denouncing us as "yellow dogs," and we had to be seen consorting with Freshmen while the Freshmen scraped down the literature. The football game came our wav, seventeen to nothing, but the championship of the College we lost to Mr. Hare and 1901. Our Poughkeepsie crew went out almost intact and won the College championship. Tt was from this time that Hildebrand's mantel began to look like the stein counter at a jeweler's. We also broke into 'Varsity rowing in the spring, for six oarsmen and a coxswain won the "P" at Poughkeepsie, and Gar- diner and Eisenbrey sat in the shell which started the civilized world to squabbling as to whether the muscles of the human stomach could or couldn't. In the spring the assurance of the Freshmen broke out again, and they tried in broad daylight to have their class picture taken. But for the sake of art 1903 seized the Library steps and announced that if any picture were taken it would be ours. The Fresh tried to dissuade us. They tried to take us by the hand and lead us gentlv away. They led Frank West into an ornamental brick post, so gently that he went over to the Hospital and came back the next day with a pillow stuck to his head. The dissuading and the leading kept up for an hour. When it was over, no Freshman could be found who was willing to have his picture taken with the pieces of terra-cotta in his face and the collar-buttons down his neck, so 77 1903 and high art had triumphed. On the next attempt the Freshman president was so anxious to keep the plate-holder out of Sophomore hands that he neglected to have a picture taken before he began to run with it. How many times in all we broke up that Freshman picture, we didn't have time to count. Finally Bill Miller wrote and delivered a speech. After a pathetic reference to the photographer's charge of three dollars per fruitless trip, he burst out, "Why, you fellows know that five of you can break up this picture." We had noticed that already, but it was most courteous of 1904 to mention it, and we let the picture be taken. But a glance into 1901's Record will show how misguided was our sympathy. When the time for the bowl fight approached, the Fresh elected one of their twins for bowlman, and swore each other to such secrecy that it was two o'clock in the afternoon before we knew to a cer- tainty that Tweedledum, and not Tweedledee, was to be the "goat." Their plan was, of course, to run either brother off the field while we plunged the other into the pot. But on the morning of the fight we took one of the children for a country trip and their game was off. The Freshmen won the first half, though, and we drew the fight by having three hands on the bowl when the whistle blew. Fourteen men have modestly confessed to the ownership of those hands, but as they never make their confessions in bunches of more than three, they can always fix it gracefully on the basis of one hand apiece. The track and cricket games came our way easily enough, and with them the Dean's trophy, in which Brunker was clothed for the Senior picture. But the baseball game we turned over to the Fresh, to save their historian some pain in 1904. Cope and Diller and our authority, Langfeld, won the class debate, and then at the cremation we wound up our year in a blaze of glory. Arthur Hobson Quinn furnished the blaze and his "Pennsylvania Stories" the glory. They're mostly glory, those stories. The attend- ance at the cremation was very good, for there was no one there to get bad. The proceeds were used to pay for the match which lighted the fire. The opening of Junior year brought us face to face with the new registration cards, or with as much of them as we could face from one position. We had to walk down the hall to see the whole card, and after we had signed it enough we passed it into the office on rollers. The Arts men then tackled the group system, which allowed each man to choose something he knew he could pass; and then we were all assigned "advisers" from the Faculty, so that when we got into trouble with our Greek and Latin we could go to Goodspeed for advice, and if we wanted to drop our History we might ask Sch watt's permis- sion. The Dean went South to recover from the inventing of this scheme, but he left word for his type- writers to furnish plenty of "love to the boys," and we never felt lonely. 78 Our crew won both the College and University championships this year, but we lost to the Seniors at football. In the spring we played a close and exciting baseball game with the Seniors, the latter win- ning by eleven to nothing. Frank Slack's playing on third base caused great dissatisfaction with the way in which the Y. M. C. A. had taken to controlling class athletics. But the feature of our four years in sports was the cricket game at Germantown. Tom Cope, who had gone out to see the game, was called in to make the eleventh man. His idea of fielding was to sit down on the ball and wait for some one to come after it. But the game had to be delayed while we picked him up, so Percy .Brown bowled the Seniors out. Then Cope demanded batting practice, and developed such form that he carried his bat for "not out" and no runs. Class politics, which had started in the fall as soon as Keller and Cope came in from the farm, ended on the twenty-ninth of May in a "Rah-rah-ree" for Joel. As Keller remarked, the class had a stroke. The Bartram closed for the day, Tupper went out to think it over, and in the excitement Wetherill got married. The next fall found us all well aware that this was our last year, and determined to let college work interrupt us as little as possible. We took the rowing championship, of course, but sad to relate we had no baseball game to lose, and our record in this branch of sport was interrupted. Our greatest athletic advance was seen in the development of Al Brunker. Tn Freshman year he was a stripling, but recentlv he is said to have lifted a Dog House coffee cup, unaided and with one hand, from the counter to his lips. McCutcheon started in to run the Red and Blue, but found that it went hard without the "Love Ditties of T. Truxtun Hare." Deeter found time to attend the Assembly Ball, and to give society the oppor- tunity it demanded to lionize him. Harned managed the Glee Club, Irving managed the ball team, Tupper managed the crew, and we all of us managed to keep Fred Eckfeldt quiet. Mike Freeland, who had by this time been completelv naturalized, managed an undefeated hockey team. The only game he scheduled was with the Ogontz Ladies' Seminary, and Bill Gardiner canceled this when he heard that a prep school team had gone out and cut the ice. We had our usual representation of Coates, Kneedler, and Frazer, in the Mask and Wig, but the Greek and Latin men came out of their obscurity with a much cleverer skit entitled "Iphigenia, or Raised on Force." The sub-title was a special bit of etymology, by Lamberton. When Stallman pulled his sword and started after "Iphie," the audience shivered and turned in unison to the next page of the trot; but McClelland, as the 79 perox-eyed Athena, waved an injunction from the lighthouse and Virtue was It. The leading lady went to meet some Johnnies at the stage door, while Faught rose wildly in the ''roost" and called for a "Hoo-rah" from the throng of four college men around him. Further details will be found at the top of the red-and- black poster. Keller took charge of our spring fashions, and came back from Paris with nothing but black bonnets and shawls for Easter. We wore them one day an d then quit, all except Doc Wiley. He wore his because it hid the bulge in his pocket where his pipe and fuel were stowed away. Our honor elections were conducted on the st raightest system known-as straight, almost, as Scham- berg's signature--and Brunker, Keller, Whitmore and Slack won more than the house furnishings in winning. Laird's proposition to award as fifth honor a gold-tipped gas range was finally voted down. The chief feature of the Senior banquet, next to Tupper's services as roastmaster, was the Pro- vost's application of Roosevelt principles to Pennsylvania needs. The rival speeches on "The Ladies," by Wetherill in absentia, Childs, Adams and Harned, all evoked great applause. And so with these, with a thousand less and no doubt a thousand more important things, our four years have been spent. The time is almost here for the Provost to "present" us with a diploma, then tuck it under his arm and charge us twenty to take it home. And here we should like to breathe a prayer, of course, for the future-to wish that some at least of the individual biographies may be as worthy of attention as has been that of the class. But as Shakespeare used to murmur, "What's the use?" For that future of ours has all been settled, the Prophet has it down in black and white; and why hope, why paint a beautiful flowery landscape for Deeter to blow full of Reading smoke? CLASS POEM O that the gift to man were only given, To sound the chords that lie too deep for tears I, What sad, sweet melodies would rise to heaven, And echo down the reaches of the years ! But trite and hackneyed are the very phrases We frame, our deepest feelings to convey. What words can hope to measure half the phases That crowd life's little day ? The noiseless advent of a summer dawning,- The silent blooming of the early rose,- The speechless grief, the tearless eyes of mourning- The solemn stillness of the winter snows- All speak a language fraught with deeper meaning, Than aught that poet, aught that sage has said. Can sculptured tomb surpass the willow leaning Above the sacred dead ?C' Oft have I seen the wild duck southward winging, In silent, rapid, God-directed flight: And I have watched the loveliest flowers springing, Open in silence to the morning light. In nameless brooks the leaves of autumn falling, Silently down the current seaward go ; And oft has fancy heard the bluebird calling Amidst the silent snow. Yes, and the great blue heron westward flying,- The crested loon borne southward on the wing,- Snow-swirling northwinds through the forests sighing,- The rose-blown bowers where the elf bells ring,- The haze of autumn on the far hills resting,- All sing a parting, sadly sweet to me, As sings the dying swan, the billows breasting, Afar on summer sea. And thus, our parting can.be no less tender, Because our skill commands no worthier lay. How poorly would our studied phrases render The deep farewell our hearts in silence say. Deeds are the proof of grateful, loyal feeling; No need for wordy parting fraught with tears. We weep enough-come set our laughter pealing, To echo down the years. Perchance, in future years some thought returning, Will summon back the past as in a dream,- Will wake again the same old boyish yearning To feel the magic of the sweep-stirred stream : To know once more the deep, fierce exultation Of bending oar-of sweeping rhythmic stroke. To grasp the football-feel the mad pulsation, As the line swayed'and broke. To hear the pistol crack : to feel the gliding Of supple limbs around the level course, And up the home stretch, fiercely, blindly striding,- To hear the thunder of our slogan hoarse. And we will long to try the varied powers That woke our pride, in rostrum, field or hall. Yes, we will oftentimes recall those hours, For well we love them all. But when we think on these with manly yearning.- On college days and on the friends of yore, Will rise a question, with the past returning- What learned we in those days that are no more ? What is the broadest truth that wisdom brought us- The truth that strengthened as the seasons ran ? It is the truth our college friendships taught us- To know man's love for man. George Sherman Keller. PROPHECY OF THE CLASS 'But whether there be prophecies, they shall fail." EACH year there is chosen among us a prophet and a dreamer of dreams, and each year he fills a page of the Record with a hard-luck story. Lamen- tation is quite in accord with the tradition of prophecy, Jeremiah being a precedent, but the burden of the Prophet's cry is no longer that he finds his sub- jects stiff-necked and set in their evil ways; or that he is condemned to appear awkward when his words fail, for he knows no one will remember them; his woe in these days of scientific criticism is that he can not claim to annihilate time and space and project himself into the future. When inspiration is called superstition, what can a prophet do? Indeed some of our seers have been so perplexed to rend the veil that they have even sought in Camden one that hath a familiar spirit, others have had to eat their wives' biscuit to experience dreams, and others, with still greater self- sacrifice, have had recourse unto Eagan's. As I sought for some process with a scientific name, knowing that the ending "ism" is all that one requires to gain devoted credulity, I thought of hyp- notism and our own Professor Fullerton. I remembered how he had exhibited 86 De Schweinitz in a trance, and how he had made him see things as they are not and made us believe them true. Then I sought him out and told him that I would look into the future and see our class twenty years hence. "Nothing is simpler, Mr. Prophet," he said, "Make yourself comfortable in this easy chair, look at this shining dime. Gently, when your eyelids feel heavy close them. Now-now, you cannot open them. No, you cannot . . . Remember to forget that you are in 1903, you are in 1923, now open your eyes and tell us what you see." And this is the true record of it, set down in my own hand, and done into print at the little shop of Avil. I was standing in a group of students on the corner of Broad and Chestnut Streets watching the pretty ladies go by, when a lank man, with a little cap on the back of his head, stepped up to me and caught me by the buttonhole. "I am going to keep you just a minute. I'm Laird, superintendent of the Generating Department of the Suburban Gas Company. Have you heard that Graser has just published a book of reminiscences called "Leaves from a Reporter's Note Book"? The first chapter tells of his marriage.-Did I tell you about my brother-in-law's brother's little child? You know they have a typewriter in the office and she is always kidding my brother-in-law about my athletic attainments. Her father, old Calligan, said to my brother-in- law the other day that he did not understand why I never got-" I tore myself away by slipping out of my overcoat, for Laird was holding me so tightly I could not escape otherwise, and went to Coates' book store and publishing house for a copy of Graser. Opening it at random, I came across a press notice of a new Variorum Edition of the works of Walt Whitman, by Thomas B. Harned, Jr. The article went on to say that "The notes and annotations by the editor teem with pungent criticisms upon religion, and betray the attitude of a democrat with aristocratic associations. Mr. Hamed displays a love of literature and art which will surprise those who do not know the real man exist- ing beneath the careless exterior of good fellowship." Following this was an appreciation of Hepburn's "Seamy Side of Life," a book of personal observations upon "How to Make a World's Record on the Links," and "How to Beat the Sports at Their Own Games." One chapter of Graser was devoted to "Blu- menthal as I have found him." It began thus: "I interviewed Mr. Blumenthal immediately after the pub- lication of his 'Reflections upon Leibnitz and Schopenhauer.' He was seated in an easy chair, his long 87 black hair and swarthy complexion splendidly contrasting with the red leather upholstering; he spoke with an easy grace. " 'The atmosphere of America is impossible to me,' he said. 'Yes, I have added an appendix upon the errors and mistakes of the Faculty of the University of Pennsylvania. Simon Patten ? Oh, I disagree with him on everything; of course he is entitled to his opinion, but-' " My attention was attracted by a parade coming' up the street, I dropped the book and ran out to see it. In the front was my old classmate,\ Tomlinson, swinging a bandmaster's baton, then came a crowd of men surging and cheering around a barouche. In it was a stout, quasi-Napoleonic-looking man, his face wreathed in a complacent grin, and a lock of hair drawn down across his forehead. He bowed stiffly to the greetings of welcome, and said in a deep heroic voice, "Thank you, gentlemen." His followers were marching to the hymn "Onward, Christian Soldiers," and were carrying transparencies inscribed with the mottoes: "For Senator, Tom Cope." "What we need is a mathematician in politics." "The W. C. T. U. vote for us." "Down with the Gang." "For Pure Politics, vote for Tom Cope." "Down with the Gang." As the procession filed into the Academy of Music a rival faction came marching up the street. These men, all in silk stockings, followed a leader who seemed to draw them by pure personal magnetism. At the very movement of his little finger they would cheer in unison: Who are we? Who are we? We're not the gang, We're not the gang, We're the Benefactors of the State! Tupper! Tupper! Tupper! A man who seemed to be Frank Slack ascended the platform and told the audience that if they thought they were politicians they had better correct their judgment, and that while waiting for the presid- ing officer, Mr. Gates, to remember his appointment, Professor de Armond would divert them with a little sleight of hand. The Professor had hardly begun when a man sprang to his feet and harangued any who would listen. "I am France," he shouted. "Both you gangs are bad, you eat all the plums and leave nothing for us independents." 88 Before he could say any more, Ed. Paun cried: "I am delegated by the Bergdoll-Pabst-Wiirtzberger Company to invite you all across the street." The whole assembly made a bee-line for the door. I left the Academy and walked out Walnut Street; on the bridge I met Jack Frazer swinging along with a stylish young lady; Jack nodded pleasantly and pointed to two men across the street. They had just come out of a large factory, and at once I recognized one as the gracious president of the Paint Trust, capital $10,000,000,000, Mr. Samuel Price Wetherill, Jr.; the other was clad in the severe garb of a Paulist Father and could be no other than the Reverend Bishop of Kensington, Percy Brown. As I joined them Wetherill was saying: "But you should remember, my dear Bishop, that even for the clergy the Apostle declares marriage to be an honorable estate." We came to an impressive church building, which they said had been designed by Bickley (Diplome de Gouvemement Franqais). It was of steel and terra-cotta, each brick having burnt into it the mark: "Galloway. None other genuine." The mural decorations of the entrance court were by Morton Livingston Schamberg, R. A. On the right of the stairway were four beautiful Schamberg girls, typifying the four cardinal virtues, each painted from life and each model being a personal admirer of the artist. A great many visitors were gazing upon them and the remark ran through the crowd, "What would Art and the Punch Bowl do without Scham- berg ?" Within the hall was a conclave of the Philadelphia Ministerial Association. Presiding was the Moderator, the renowned lay preacher, Joel Henry Hildebrand, sometime athlete, physicist and saint. He arose to introduce the speaker. "Brethren, it gives me great pleasure to present a classmate of mine at College, a missionary returned from China, the great exponent of muscular religion, Brother Bill Gardiner." A man in Oriental costume, wearing a long red queue with the suspicion of a curl, then arose. "Fellows-I mean brethren-I'm mighty glad to be back again. You may think my dress is funny, but I'm simply doing what the Apostle Paul and Brtinker did, I'm being all things to all men. I-I don't know how I can tell you fellows the great work we're doing in our revival meetings-the other day we con- verted to the Y. M. C. A. a politician, Tupper. There's something in the atmosphere that sort of soaks religion into you-like a Turkish bath. You fellows here aren't doing what is right-you're too careless and 89 irreverent. I heard of one of my own class at Pennsylvania that puns in a sermon, Brother Keller, Rector Demeritus of St. John's in the Woods, why, they tell me that he said Adam and Eve were smitten with apple-plexy." Keller then mounted the platform, and gazing far into the heavens, melodiously began: "The poet has declared-[Selah]-that-[Selah]-on a green hill-" Gradually the silent portions of his discourse grew longer and the sentences farther apart, and the audience fell asleep waiting for the idea to be born. Then there bustled into the room a little man, holding his head and chest very erect, with a napkin tucked into his collar to keep it clean-it was Deacon Yerkes, A. B. [Central High], who cried: "Truth, I seek the Truth." I looked then among the drowsing heads fo: the silvered locks of my friend William Biggerstaff, but I could not find him, and I turned to Bishop Percy and I asked: "Is not Biggerstaff also among the clergy?" The Bishop suddenly grew stern and replied: " 'Why seek ye the living among the dead ?' " Here was broken my vision, for a laugh like gurgling streams fell from the lips of Brunker, and so ended the spell and this prophecy. 90 'Tis not a solemn elegy of parting, A doleful song of melancholy ring, That makes the tears to all our eyes come starting, And makes us see but gloom in everything ; 'Tis not a solemn, serious song disheartening The Ivy bard must sing. Nor must he choose a theme of glad thanksgiving For happy, pleasant days that now are past, For youthful years that well were worth the living And friendships formed that will forever last; Because, with all our joy, we've one misgiving- Those days have flown so fast. His song must be of varied, mingled feeling ; Our hearts are sad and glad alike to-day. O'er all our minds are recollections stealing Of happy months-October until May. And yet one thought our sadness is revealing They now have passed away. 91 But joy and sorrow come in all life's hours, And though each day some happy feature wears, 'Twould not be life, were sadness, too, not ours; For, as each cloud its silver lining bears, So every bed of beauteous, blooming flowers Has, mingled with it, tares. Our college days were full of joy and pleasure, For many a cheerful, careless hour we've passed ; Each one we have enjoyed beyond all measure, And now, no matter where our lots we cast, Our happy college years we all will treasure As long as life shall last. We'll see, in curling smoke, a merry vision Of Freshmen swimming on a wooden lake, When we were standing round, and, with derision, Gave stern commands that made the poor Fresh quake, While they obeyed each order with precision, For sweet tradition's sake. And now we plant the Ivy, everlasting, And may it always to these dear walls cling, To tell to all that whether feasting, fasting, Whatever Fate may bring us, our hearts sing Our love for Penn, while we aside are casting Thoughts of each other thing. 92 This plant will tell of many a boyish antic That we have played in happy college days; Deeds we have done that made professors frantic, When we had fights to win and Fresh to haze ; And though we've grown more grave and more pedantic, The memory of them stays. 'Twill tell of sterner hours in life's vocation, Where we have conquered, lost, and won again, Where each one's worth will win for each his station, Where nothing counts but push-or ** pull and then, When life is past, we'll win our coronation, If we have worked like men. But more than all, this vine will be a token Of something, though unseen, we all can see, Of something that we claim with pride unspoken Is ever ours, and ours alone will be, Of something we still love, though ties be broken- The Class of Nineteen-three.

The College was then hardly more than a day-school. In the simple yellow stuccoed building on Ninth street we had three morning recitations and there our distinctive collegiate life ended. The change from that day to this has been great indeed, but I am clear in my mind that in some respects you have lost out of the college life that which it were better to have kept. Our sports were less violent than yours, and took up no such time as they now take from the more important matter of intellectual development. We had no football or races, or contests with other universities, but we played cricket, and played it well, too, and rowed on the river and sparred with the once famous Tom Barrett. Neither were we photographed in the daily papers alongside of "Rocky Ned" and the "Virginia Bantam." We had no game which necessitated the attendance of a physician. Our elders did, in those naughty days, on rare occasions indulge in this luxury, but that was when they intended to inflict personal injury. It is needless to insist on what we missed and what, in consequence, my generation failed to be and to do-it is sadly interesting to speculate on what we might have been-for by this time you must all be aware that without college athletics no nation can long survive. Who can doubt that the discipline of the foot- ball field must have been terribly missed at the "Bloody Angle" and on Cemetery Hill ? We played hard in 97 my college days, but we talked of our sports less than you do. On the other hand, we were enthusiastic concerning the rising literary lights of Tennyson and Carlyle and had, as 1 take it, a keener interest in the intellectual life of the world and of the college than exists to-day. You, I fear, care too little for your intellec- tual athletes, and certainly do not decorate or publicly honour them or portray them in your Class Records as you do the baseball teams. As I remember, we regarded our honour men with a certain veneration and took such interest in our society debates as I hope still exists within the sacred walls of my own Philo- mathean. There were other differences: I do not recall ever hearing of bets on our cricket matches. Per- haps, however, we may at times have been a little vicious. There were, in fact, certain personal remarks it was not wise to make unless you felt willing to take off your coat back of the college. Now-a-days the train- ing in athletics is said to make this vulgar resort needless and to encourage such amiability as did not exist in the less polished life of my college years. We had, in those days, five professors. Our Provost, a Reverend Doctor, was a terrible presence when our janitor, Mr. Dick, summoned us before the assembled faculty for some minor immorality, or possibly a fight. I remember, most of all, the Provost's nose, a regnant feature, which was such as every Provost ought to possess. Beyond that he was notable for his highly original interpretation of Shakespeare. As I never could do a sum in the rule of three, or conceive of letters as representing numbers, algebra resolved itself for me into x - the unknown quantity, and the veteran professor, Vethake, became the terror of my college life. He once confided to the Junior Class that disbelief in mathematical conclu- sions was a form of intellectual immorality. I remember to have been puzzled, but the good man, no doubt, "lisped in numbers" like the poet, and could not be made to believe that any one could be as complete a pauper in mathematics as I was. John Frazer, our professor both of Physics and Chemistry, was through and through as entirely a gentleman as it has ever been my good fortune to know. Many of us were on terms of easy good fellow- ship with him and were welcome to share the leisure hours of a very original and learned man, a com- petent athlete and one of the most fair-minded characters 1 have ever known. That delightful companion and ripe scholar, Professor Allen, is even yet remembered in the Uni- versity. He had the wish and the power to surround our classical studies with an atmosphere of joyous appreciation. Whether he better loved Horace or chess, I never learned. The same gift as concerns our English literature was what made Professor Henry Reed a revered memory for all who were able to feel the influence of that most gentle, true and learned man. To him T owe 98 my earliest perceptions of what pleasure was to be had in the large playground of English verse. He was quick to see who were warmed by the fire of his own enthusiasm and eager to lend them helpful aid. It is rather late to say to a graduating class that athletics have to-day too large a place in the life and talk of college men and that the intellectual athletes of your class, whom in future years you will delight to honour, will owe nothing to the fooball field or the racetrack. Athletic sports are meant, as I see them, to insure that the body shall be made and kept sound, enduringly sound, so as the better to enable men to meet the demands of our energetic life. A distinguished surgeon said to me last night that hundreds of men are to-day suffering and will continue more and more to suffer from the injuries received in football. If this be the result, are we not justified in asking that this attractive sport should be so modified as to free it from the unwholesome consequences which must affect the competency of many active lives? Yours, very truly, S. Weir Mitchell. 99 First Honor-ALBERT RIDGELY BRUNKER-Spoon Second Honor-GEORGE SHERMAN KELLER-Bowl Third Honor-WILLIAM WALLACE WHITMORE-Cane Fourth Honor-FRANK VAN HART SLACK-Spade 100 and science ALITTLE KNOWLEDGE ' . . ? 15 ADAN GEROUS THING. £ £ I 1 RESHMEN in Arts and Science will go to Dr. Child in room 217." And this was a task worthy rw of Freshmen, for as we left the chapel door 217 was right across the hall; but Pomp managed to direct most of us to other parts of the building, and we entered in rather straggling fashion. It was a dark room, but soon we had Bill Gardiner's sunlight by which to size one another up, and we were aided by the moonbeams 'round Al Brunker (here a mysterious remark of Keller's about "luny ever since" has been expunged by the chief editor, which is Al). The first to get busy was Faught, who with an air of "Allow me-my photograph" requested us to wait after the benediction to adopt a class yell of his composing. Percy Swayne's smile soon entered, followed by Percy, and then in came Tommy Harned, delayed half an hour by some difficulty in getting into his first pair of long trousers. Next Dr. Child came in, with a batch of assorted papers. These he laid aside, and started to tell us a rather doubtful story of which he said we reminded him-but Caldwell broke in, saying deferentially that he was very anxious to get to work. So the assorted papers were read, and each one told us of 101 some book which we must buy. We started for Leary's to buy them, and were buttonholed in turn by a little fellow in black, who asked which of us were first-honor men at the schools we came from, as he was very anxious to know whether anyone stood between him and Phi Beta Kappa. Monday morning we struck Gibbons. And one and all we struck him as asses, judging from his remarks to the upper sash in the window. Pie showed us how to get through a chapel roll (present, yes! absent, no!) in ten seconds, how to find SAH in Lewis' dictionary in five seconds more, and how to waste the rest of the hour in distinguishing between the sounds of "r" in "barbarous" and "barber shop." By April he saw in us "glimmerings of intelligence," and by the end of May admitted that if we could not think we were at least showing a sort of cogitation. ' From Gibbons' den we went over to the Department of History. Most of us went to Ames, who told us something to the effect that "he knew this book of his was worth only twenty-five cents, but he would have to charge a dollar in order not to rob Dr. Munro of his class." Those who went to Munro were tendered a book which he said he "knew was worth only twenty-six cents, but for which he would have to charge a dollar in order not to rob Dr. Ames of his class." They might have had the details of that swindle better arranged. History proved to be a thing no man could flunk, for we pumped it in at the last minute like hydrog'en into a rubber bag, and to stay there just as long-but high marks went only to those who could hand in a three-yard list of references read, in a handwriting that did not tremble from guilt. The rest of the Faculty fleeced us as soon as possible. Crawley sold us trigonometries-a new edi- tion, for the royalty was to be higher under the new contract, and as we had already bought the old edition, his profit was doubled. Quinn offered us an alluring red-and-blue bound volume which proved to be his Ph. D. thesis on "The Seven Standard Plots in Modern Juvenile Fiction." Then Schwatt offered us Fisher and Schwatt's Algebra, and we bought it because somebody told us-that Schwatt knows more mathe- matics than any man living except Fullerton, who knows there is no math to know. Those were the "good old times" when mathematics-"higher mathematics," as we Freshmen liked to call Progressions and Solid Geometry-were on the duty, and not on the free list; and we howled over this as all classes had done, debating the justice of the requirement so eloquently in "Chim Pansy" Alden's class that no decision could be rendered by the maiden in charge. But it was wonderful to see Hallett start to derive the theorem of the day from Raphael Ben Ezra's assumption, "I am," and get it half way down through the ages by the time the bell rang. Once he paused to ask, "Do you understand that point, Mr. Brown?" "Well, Doctor," Percy answered, "I thought I understood that before you began." Which 102 ambiguous remark brought an N at the end of the term. After we had flunked the course once and taken six months to cool off, apart from Hallett, our knowledge of math dwindled enough to let us pass the re-exam; and in some recess of that wonderful office of Josh's four precious units are filed for every man. Upstairs in the English Department we had no complaints to make. Weygandt twirled his watch- chain up the White Marsh Valley and back again, for the benefit of those who had never seen Germantown Junction, and we took up our role of critics with Faught's contention that "Poe had a colored tale." Child let us recite from Lounsbury for a term ; then he got us to fighting as to whether a bullfrog's croak is made up of verbs and nouns, and showed us in majuscule and minuscule why Q stands for "grasshopper." Those who kept their note-books in two colors of ink got D's. Nobody was ingenious enough to find a way of flunking. German, for those who took it, was a rest; and French was a holiday. Greek was a prep-school. But those of us who took the last were repaid, perhaps, by recognizing gamma when we saw it in the physi- cal laboratory last year, and by our knowledge of what Frank Slack was driving at this spring, down at the Academy. When we met for Sophomore year there were only two deserters. Eugene Johnson had found that coming from Camden was too great a handicap; and Johnny Rea, of the Quaker Oats smile, never came back from his Indiana home. We got into no great difficulties this year, because Langfeld was there to prompt us in what we didn't know, and to correct us in what we did know. We learned more about Gibbons this year, whether we learned anything more from him or not; and the interest he takes in his men outside the class-room earns him a right to stay with us. It was in his class that we became so expert at hunting, Kier providing the horses and all of us playing foxy. Bates was as smooth-running as ever. Tommy Harned passed the "Iphigenia" without having owned the book, and in the "Acharnians" we learned forty-seven Greek words for "blackguard." Perhaps Mr. Biggerstaff will explain. Every liberally educated man knows something about Physics, so Physics we had to absorb. McClel- lan was too rushed to teach us much, and besides, Goodspeed was always using the apparatus in a mysterious "class across the hall"; but our curiosity was aroused as to what Physics might be, and more than the usual number tried, later on, to find out. The Chemical Lab. was another novelty. Every Tuesday morn- ing Dr. Smith worked it out on the board in terms of one variable, and we thought we understood it; but Taggart couldn't follow it at all when we repeated it to him on Friday afternoons. His usual start was to 103 ask Hepburn a question, which Hepburn would answer. "Why! Mr. Hepburn, what a fool-thing to say! That's awful! You're the rankest attempt ever! You never saw that in any chemistry you didn't write yourself. Mr. McCutcheon, what's the answer?" "Same answer Hepburn gave." "What's that?" Mc- Cutcheon repeats it. "Well, now, I'll tell you. I was thinking of something else later on. I guess you're right, Mr. McCutcheon. That's good work, Mr. McCutcheon. I'll ask you another." But Hepburn was a forgiving cuss, and Taggart still lives and loves. Child met us with a new story this year-something about an East Indian "running amuck." We thought it pretty good; but when the whole English department, one man after the other, told us that story, we began to look it up in the "Academy." We had to read and "tear out" great bunches of essays that year, as well as five novels and "Hypatia" ; and not one of the authors we handled ever wrote again. We had to take notes at breakneck speed from Weygandt and Schelling, and then begin to read where they left off in the "Dictionary of National Biography." Our work in Composition consisted mostly of description. Bill France brought in a thrilling tale of midnight sport in Jersey. Weygandt thrilled beautifully, and began to ask about some matters of detail. France had to admit that the thing had never happened. "Oh! of course! I saw right away it was just a story you had picked up somewhere. What J mean is, how did you imagine that log to be placed?" Which speaks well for Bill's work with a pen. History and Mathematics were elective this year. This meant, we found, that we might take either. The point was that we had to take one. For Yerkes, the point was that he had to drop one. Conic sections drew the minority, but they were favored with the company of the architects, who worked with their hands and rested with their brains, and who could draw most perfect figures-or could have, they claimed, if they had ever been so rash as to go to the board. Space of n-dimensions was very exciting-sleep-exciting. How Sclauch would have marveled if he had been there to see the fourth-dimensional rat-traps and touch them with his fingers! How joyous it was to twist the axes through theta degrees! And how reverentially we deal with the alphabet now, lest we carelessly breathe a combination which Hallett would show splits up into linear factors! We suffered two more losses at the end of Sophomore year. Allen Baillie, the boy orator and cross- country runner, dropped out with typhoid fever, which affected his mind so that he entered Princeton in the fall; and James Emmott Caldwell, the man whose Charlie hat was the mascot of the Golf Club, left in disgust upon seeing us take examinations in our shirt-sleeves. 104 So far our work had been set before us; we had done it, not done it, or forgotten about it, and had come through the bi-annual formalities without losing our breath. But this summer the Dean sent his office corps to Europe, and they came back from Monte Carlo with a System. They played it on us as we came in, one by one, in September, and the System won. First it was cardboard, acres of cardboard. We spread it out in the hall and wrote our names as many times as we could remember them. Then we walked through the first floor of College Hall, leaving seven square inches in each room, paying two dollars and eighty-seven cents to the lady who said we owed it and four dollars and thirty-three cents more to the lady whom we couldn't resist, carefully explaining to the rest of the ladies how we happened to have written our names in the places which should have been left for theirs. After the names came numbers. We were each made to choose a number between one and sixteen, and on Monday we found that sixteen was the only blank. Who ever heard of a system like that, with the blank on the end of the row? Number one was found to mean Greek and Latin. So many had picked on one as the first number handy that a new man, McDaniel, had to come in to Gibbons's aid. Their theories fitted fairly well, consider- ing that the party of the second part was Gibbons, and all hands have practically settled on the translation "Roman" for "Romanus." Number nine meant History and Economics, sometimes spoken of as McMaster and Meade, always thought of as slumber and sleep. It is a great thing to be rock-a-byed by America's greatest historian, and we felt the honor, especially when we saw our carefully-written essays thrown on the scales and weighed, a milligram telling the tale of G or D. Meade's marking had something to do with the color of the ink; for Laird had a D for his first-term essay, and when he put on a new cover and handed it in again next term he received only a G. It must have been faded or soiled. Laird didn't press the point. Number eleven nobody chose. It would have meant Astronomy, and when anyone in our class sits with his eye glued to a lens for hours at a stretch you can wager that Anna Held is the star on the other end. So Charles and Eric had little to do for a year. We found science enough in ten, twelve, and fifteen- Physics and Math, Chemistry and Physics, Chemistry and Geology. Jones, T. C., found his affinity in Cal- culus (two of them in Senior year), where Hen Smith could find only infinity, and kept "doubting the reality" day after day. And every bit of skepticism counted, for Fisher had just two joys in life-to talk infinity and to see us work examples at the board-and we preferred the possible, even if it sounded improbable. 105 In the Chemical Lab, Jim Gillinder taught Qualitative Analysis. He gave the boys queer-looking solutions, and allowed them one guess as to what they were. There is just such a course at the Hash House, but there the guessing is unlimited. McCutcheon found more things in "Pureoxia" than Tomlinson could, but Tommy found a great many. Both ten and twelve met twice a week in the new Physical Lab to dream about "Sound" with Good- speed. This man is a genius at designing labs, but what we know about "Sound" we thank him for not taking from us. His sole legacy consisted of twenty-five differential equations; which he admitted we couldn't understand then, but which were beautiful examples of how by starting with nothing and assuming all things needful we could derive the sum of physical knowledge. Some day, he promised us, we would understand them, and bless the donor. They burned beautifully. At the time set for examination we got too noisy with "Jenkins up," and had to compromise on "Tit-tat-to" until he made up his mind to pass us. The next term we met Richards in a course on "Light." He talked pretty fast, and got through too soon, for then it was our turn, and we had no talker with us except Atlee, of 1902. Dicky's artificial butterflies were improvements on Nature, for they had the properties of the chameleon, but he wouldn't accept as an expla- nation the theory that he was a wizard. Spades were trumps, and we had to dig, although some of us couldn't dig anything but graves. Group fourteen was a short cut to an M. D., and Cranch, Friedman, and Bill Gardiner hit on this. Now and then they came around to College Hall to look us over, but generally we had to go to Franklin Field or the Schuylkill River to see anything more of Bill. All of us who had not drawn the blank had a few treatments to undergo, regardless of our numbers. One of these was Schelling. He knew just what we needed. He admitted that we were overworked. "What a college man needs," he would say, "is time to go off into the woods by himself, time to think, time to commune with his own soul at leisure and to learn to know himself. Allow me to remind you, gentlemen, that your forty-first theme is due on Thursday, and no one who has not passed in a quarter-ton of acceptable work can be admitted to the examination. And now to my subject. For Cowper I don't care a copper, but I-what is it, gentlemen? Oh, a pun! Did I? I beg your pardon, gentlemen. Unintentional, I assure you. It's beneath even your humble servant. But I refer to him merely because I feel sure that if you read him you will find him a most precious possession. The details I shall have to leave, as I find we have fallen considerably behind." Schelling conducted a seminar for those who needed the D, or those who, like Wendkos, once of Science and Tech, became infatuated and wanted to drop all and follow him. There was 106 a suspicious look of coincidence about his list of exemptions, first term, so Hildebrand took up the seminar in the second. That term there were no exemptions at all, which almost killed Joel; but he stood in on the set-out at the end, and was appeased. One other requirement, thank heaven, was Fullerton. The first term we proved the propositions in Jevons' Logic, memorizing some poetry of the Keller school beginning "Barbarous cellar-rent"; the next term we disproved those in Janet's Ethics. We never proved anything to take their places, but it was joy to see hot-air sluggers like Deeter and Cope forfeit their share of the gate-receipts and quit the game. Moreover, Fullerton's supply of stories stood second only to his supply of innuendoes. He had us all convinced, one day, that study, producing exhaustion and hence a shortening of life, was suicide; till Maginniss, a stray from a fold known as the Wharton School, volunteered that this could not be, because "1 don't think study really tires you." "Oh! yes it does," was Fullerton's answer. Then, leaning confidentially over the desk, "Try it, Mr. Maginniss, try it." But Maginniss was in the Wharton School. Outside of the class-room, we were represented this year by Cope and Deeter in successful debates, by Kellar and Gardiner in otherwise football games, and by Gardiner and Hildebrand on the crew; and we made up almost the whole of the class's wonderful College Champion cricket team. With the Engineers we conspired to elect from our number the infamous Hildebrand as Senior president, and Laird as historian; while Deeter, of the Political Purity Push, broke in and won the vice-presidency. Cope and Keller tied for the glory of being called Mark Hanna. In Senior year the System was changed, as we were thought to be "on." But this time the office corps played into our hands; for they demanded that we score sixty points, of which, according to their definition of a point, they had already forced us to score nearly fifty. Harned and Yerkes dropped to twelve hours a week, so as to get D's in all; Faught took so many that he had to cut some to get to the others; but most of us could say all year that the class-room was the least of our troubles. Praised be Harvard for inventing such a cinch! Our only shock was when we found that we couldn't drop a course at the end of the first term and score half the points for it. Percy Brown says that the profs are paid by the popularity of their courses, and their theatre-parties would have to go to the Standard if it were left at all comfortable for us to drop their work. Another new regulation for the support of the Faculty is the re-exam rule, by which each one after the first costs five dollars. Pomp tells us that the prof gets half of the fine, and as it is the prof who does the flunking there seems to be no excuse for any of them starving out. 107 There was another newcomer in the Latin department this year, a good-looking Westerner named Rolfe, who promises not to insist too strongly upon the sound of a in "mamma." The only other novelty was encountered in the Physical Lab-a double-convex mirror which came from Yale by way of Johns Hopkins, Missouri, Chicago and other agrarian institutions, and which seemed capable of reflecting knowledge from a deck of cards into the ear, rather than of absorbing and then emitting it. Hill took up cricket this year where Tom Cope left it the year before, and spent his time in the Expo- sition Building when he was not down at the Automat, playing the machines with Hen Smith. Cope and Deeter came down again with the oratorical fever, and Bob Moore caught it from them. Slack developed, as we had expected, into a perfect lady, and Stallman and McClelland played "Kingie" and "Queenie" in the same burlesque. Al Brunker did what he could to get out a "Record," and Laird sold countless tickets to the personal friends of all the other men on the committee. Hepburn broke into lacrosse, and Coates into track work, showing that even their arduous studies had become less exacting. And so our time was spent, almost anywhere except in College Hall. And now the end of the four years has come, and our little groups are to be still further subdivided- not, let us hope, into molecules solely and simply, as Hart would say, or into a vague formless substratum or stuff, as Fullerton might suggest-but into men who can make good what they said on their census blanks of the benefits they had received in College. And if we have any success at all in "delivering the goods," let us freely admit to ourselves, and tell the world at large, that the credit's due to Penn. THE Wharton School! My pen falters as I place that exclamation mark. It is impossible to describe that intangible, incorporeal "something" that pervades the eastern end of College Hall's second floor, and makes that section, like the Sunday North American, "different." It is like unto the fragrance of a flower, the aroma of tempting viands, or the bouquet of old wine-something that we can feel and enjoy, yet cannot fix upon the printed page. Not to all mortals, however, is it given to share in this ecstatic delight. There is a certain type of man specially designed by Nature to be a "Wharton School man," and to him only are disclosed the beauty and excellency of Wharton School life. To the ordinary piece of humanity, unattuned to this delicate har- mony, the Wharton School appears even as the other departments of College. There is a prevalent opinion amongst those, who know naught of the subject, that the Wharton School is a retreat for idlers. 110 Sad to relate, our well-beloved companion, G. W. Childs, has never attempted to dispel this illusion, but, on the contrary, has done much to give it the semblance of truth. For, verily, Childs is lazy. We hate to use this term, but no other word can fitly describe him. "What's the use of working, while father has good health ?" is the way that he expresses it. This is a philosophy for which the Wharton School dis- claims all responsibility. Of a somewhat similar character is Blystone, a worthy individual for whom life is one long holiday. Serene and complacent, smiling and satisfied, he bluffs his way along with little difficulty. "Work," he will say, "work, truly I have heard the word before, but what it is nor whence it comes I know not." We have stated that Wharton School men are different from other men and incidentally we have inti- mated that they were somewhat better. Whitmore does much to drive this fact in upon an unsuspecting public. Calm, cool, collected, with an easy grace and charm of manner that has set many a maiden's heart fluttering, Whitmore glides about making hits by his impressive manner. Verily, dignity is his long suit. Somewhat alike in manner is Gates. He joined the fold somewhere about the Junior year, coming up from ye quiet village of Swarthmore, where we are informed there is situated one college, of which Gates must not be taken as a fair example. Intensely musical is he, though he possesses none of the ear-marks of a musician. Indeed he is a comely youth, and to gaze upon him one would hardly believe that he is addicted to the pernicious habit of playing soft love-songs upon a mellow-toned mandolin, upon any old instrument from a Jew's-harp to a tenement-house piano-sometimes called an accordion. Tupper comes next upon our list: Tupper, the man of varied attainments-teller of wonderful tales; coxswain of victorious crews; kidder of Profs.; sharer in scrapes; ringleader in foolhardy enterprises-'tis indeed hard to grasp upon some salient feature of his versatile character and present it to our readers. Per- haps he has gained more popular notice in his role of cheer-leader than in any other capacity, and in describ- ing him in this we quote from a current periodical: "A cheer-leader is the man who stands in front of the crowd and causes the old grads to say, 'I wonder if I was ever like that.' " To offset the influence of Childs and Blystone and to give a tone of scholarship to our glorious band, there is a quartette of real students: Shoch, Diller, Huntzinger and Graser, who are living refutations of the charge of idleness made against the Wharton School. Let it be said here for the edification of our readers, that such accusations are usually promulgated by "sour-grape pickers" and the green-eyed monster, jealousy, serves as a nurse to suckle them and give a sickly strength. 111 Next is Lippincott-our good old college chum-Lippincott. The chief things about him are his shoulders. In the words of an esteemed contemporary, one T. B. Donaldson, they show what nine dollars and a skillful tailor can do. Then comes Pennypacker. He is the possessor of an excessively nervous manner, which becomes most noticeable and heart-rending during the season of examinations. With a careful diet and a fair amount of rest and exercise, it is hoped that he may overcome these little idiosyncrasies. In our Senior year we secured three new members, Munson, Hadley and Kruesi. Munson is noted for his constant desire to rip off chunks of lingua and with an intrusive manner force them upon the atten- tion of the lecturer. Kruesi is our legal light, and truly he is a bizarre figure as attired in black gown he hands down learned opinions on subjects of no importance, all the while wearing the smile which has become famous in modern literature,-the "smile that won't come off." Not only does this distinction of character applv to the men who constitute the Wharton School undergraduate body, but it is equally applicable to the Faculty. Gaze upon that list of immortals-all deserving tablets in the Hall of Fame-and doubt my statement if you can. At the very head stands our ancient friend, Dr. Simon Patten. Flere is the type of man to be a fitting example for youth to copy. Up from the farm at break of day, came he,-resolved to do or die. Upon considering the proposition, he figured out that dying, while taking less time, did not result in as great personal advantage as doing. Therefore he "did" and has been "didding" ever since. (The list of "done" ones is too long for publication.) With that winning smile which makes even a Freshman feel at ease, he won his way to enviable distinction, and now directs the destinies of those who enter the portals of the Wharton School. Next behold one Dr. Cleveland, he whose complexion rivals the sunset's brilliancy. Ah, that his intellect might keep companionship with those bright hues! Famed is he for producing unreasonable reasons, and replies that do not answer. 'Twas he who cast the apple of discord in our midst by publishing a work, "Funds and Their Uses," for there were some among us who verily did maintain right stoutly that this selfsame work possessed some points of merit. Valiantly we strove to show them the error of their ways, and, praise Allah, our efforts were not in vain, for now a beautiful unanimity of opinion respect- ing this book pervades the school. 112 Sharing the sanctum of Dr. Cleveland, smoking his cigars and using his stamps, is one Dr. Edward S. Meade, a man who has recently sprung into prominence as an advocate of dress reform. Meade is one of those noble-browed creatures of whom great things are expected even in their youth. His manner is one designed to strike terror to women, children and Freshmen. From his eyes come flashes as of lightning, -from his lips come foolish words. In interminable stream they flow, tumbling one over the other with an amazing celerity and lack of connection. Wonderful, truly wonderful, is this man whose knowledge of financial interests rivals that of J. P. Morgan, and whose acquaintance with the latest styles of dress for men is greater than that of Archie Markham. ■ Then there is our silver-tongued Emory R. Johnson. In dulcet tones, soft as a mother's lullaby or the gentle murmur of the south wind, he speaks of snorting, steaming locomotives. Vigorously does he combat the immoral and pernicious practice of riding on passes. "He spends his money free" and fain would have us do likewise. With frequent reference to "me and the Canal Commission," he discourses upon the commerce of the world, with an assurance that almost deceives us into believing that he speaks with authority. Truly a great man, who deals with great and mighty problems! Next comes Rowe-the wordy one. His soul is filled with the milk of human kindness, which occa- sional thunder-showers of wrath turn sour. He divulges such fundamental concepts as "white cats with blue eyes are deaf." "Law-how to make and break it," is his long suit. For two years he absented him- self from the Wharton School and was busy with legal questions down where the-no, not the Wiirz- burger flows-but down where Uncle Sam is developing in the simple and ignorant Porto Rican a desire for automobiles, telephones, Rowe-made law, and other indispensable adjuncts of modern civilization. And then comes Young-Dr. James T. Young. Oh, fortunate was he in being so labeled, for now, owing to the efforts of a cereal food company, his name is heralded throughout the length and breadth of the land. All hail, "Sunny Jim!" And, indeed, he is a sunny man, and the sunlight of his spirit glints and gleams upon the keen shafts of sarcasm with which he enlivens his excessively brilliant remarks. Extremely intellectual in appearance-particularly when freshly shaved-he secures the attention even of the most wayward, and pumps into all who will lend an ear, a forceful stream of hot air. Among the numerous courses of study open to the student in Finance and Economy, the following are particularly noteworthy: 113 Money and Credit-a study of the proper methods of dodging your creditors. Political Problems-or how to get next to the graft. Private Finance-a critical study of "get rich quick" schemes. Public Finance-a course on methods of escaping the payment of taxes. Municipal Institutions-or ballot-box stuffing considered as a fine art. Government Activity-a course on the monetary value of your vote. Foreign Policy as I have played it, by Dr. Scott. The Wharton School! Pre-eminent, distinct, unique; satisfying the thirst for knowledge and good- fellowship, it brings together in close communion men who appreciate its blessings and revere its tradi- tions. May every man who goes forth from it, bear with him the impress of its teachers, and may he add lustre to its renown and credit to him who founded it. THE, SCHOOL OF ARCHITECTURE FOUR years ago we, who have since stamped our fame upon the page of history, climbed the stony heights and stood before the portals of the sanctum of art, where the cold visage of Popsy's substitute received us with pitying smile. After appropriate greetings and the sad account of Prof. Laird's illness, he requested us to draw lots for space in the draft- ing room. By this fatal error the spirit of chance was inculcated into the class. It has influenced our entire career and rumor says that only by chance some graduated. Indeed it has been part of the daily routine. The first fellow to annex all the desirable photographs had a show in design. Spoerl and Willis were the first to become proficient grabbers, but were closely pressed by "Louie" Clark and Bill Smith. The latter by diligent practice tucked away bundles of pictures out of all proportion to their size and requirements. In the first year we associated with the "Co-eds" chaperoned by Sally, but their gentle influence was unheeded by the class. DeArmond did most to hasten our downfall. In the early days when we were easy he took advantage of our innocence to beguile us into evil. While the matching of pennies was not entirely new to the class, many of the lucrative devices introduced by the "Shark" were entirely unknown. He produced one color scheme wherewith he was 115 able to pay carfare to College for a week. Bickley with his practical mind determined to stand in with the bank, and Schamberg, after being fleeced to a small extent, tight- ened up and sought the position of croupier. When the bank had accumulated the wealth of the department the shop retired. Other games came into favor with the decline of this joint. Unlike the former, their purpose was the relief of the mind and not the pocket-book. Huger Elliot, the boy professor, ordered a cord of kindling wood for the department. This wood cut in convenient sizes was intended to render assistance by assisting in rendering. At the same time it was equally efficient as a set of ten-pins. In the latter role this lumber was so unstable that it caused annoyance in the Wharton School below. This led to its seizure and close confinement by Popsy. With their disappearance the presence of these blocks became indispensable in our daily labors. In spite of this need nothing but the solemnest swear- ing to be good would release them from the darkness of Tommy's junk room. As we were all capital swearers the blocks reappeared. With their return our course continued as of old; that is to say, all went well until Tommy put in his diurnal exercise on the broom and then our work was encrusted in a layer of ancient dust, which had been undergoing this daily agitation from time immemorial. Beside the daily removal of the more tangible refuse, Tommy was director of exhibits and head of the complaint department. This made him custodian of the electric lamps and altogether he was a much-worked and abused individual, in which opinion he will solemnly concur. As Freshman Architects we were not entirely devoted to gambling and the study of "rough house." On the first day of the session, Finger gave us a lesson in drawing straight lines. Had Dana remarked then, as he did some four years later, that we did not know the first principles of drawing, we might have believed him. With this lesson we became the proteges of Finger. To most of his pupils drawing lessons were an innovation, but as teaching was equally new to our professor we were mutu- ally considerate. Withal, he steered us safely over the Freshman course. During this year we had dropped two men by the wayside, but as neither had remained long enough to become part of the system, they have long passed into the immensity of the forgotten. One of the lost ones, Mays by name, left on the second 116 clay. We all regretted the resignation of this faint-hearted youth, except Scham- berg, who fell heir to his T-square. Derr was the second to desert the cause. He left to build a boathouse and probably fell into the river during the operation, as he was very careless. Besides these two, who might be said to dwell on the hazy border of the forgotten, there are other forgotten things which dwell deep in the interior, namely, Popsy's Five Orders as expounded in collaboration with Vignola and the Popsy combination. For a time their delicate proportions were regarded as an architectural creed. Experience has taught us that it was all a hoax and Clark in revenge has designed a few specimens which show how they really ought to be. When the Sophomore year arrived it brought with it so varied a list of duties that architecture had to take a back seat. Nevertheless, when Bill Smith noticed the Specials perspiring over a double-elephant edition of the Erectheum doorway, he thought it looked so easy that he started the notorious "white elephant'' rendering. The height of the third floor drafting-rooms afforded a fine outlook on the Library steps, where the Freshmen were wont to gather with the hope of having their picture taken. On such occasions it was our duty to hurl from the windows all the unattached furniture. Everything fell under this head but the desks, and they, being screwed to the floor, were spared. After one of these bombardments the remainder of the day was spent in collecting and sorting the residue deposited on the campus. It was thus our education progressed, and when not otherwise engaged Huger resumed operations on our intellect. At this time he endeavored to find a passage through the bony protection of our intelli- gence, in which to pour the elements of design, perspective, graphics and common sense. To accomplish the latter, while studying the subject of graphics, we would theoretically stand upon our heads, that the force of his remarks might be more readily comprehended. At the end of the year a position with Tiffany was offered him, which he accepted with the hope of getting a rest. As misfortunes never come singly, we suffered at this period the severe bereavement of Mr. Pilcher, who forsook us for the girls of Vassar. Pilcher had been purveyor to the class in Archaeology and inci- dentally in complex conversation. He lectured by the "catch as catch can" method and our notes showed plainly that we couldn't. But in other things the class was a marvel of ability and called forth the admira- tion of Dawson and Everett, who declared us the "loveliest" bunch of talent that had ever entered Pennsyl- 117 vania. When some of the fellows found their genius to be of so high an order, they retired from active practice to allow the class to catch up. They have been laying off ever since, but their inactivity now is merely the result of a bad habit. Successor to "Zoanon" Pilcher came Mr. Osborne, who has earned the reputation of the "whitest" man on the Faculty. In that capacity, and with the efficient assistance of the stenographer, he guards the treasures of the library. By nature he is one of those happy beings who, not expecting perfection, are not disappointed by the returns. The Junior year brought relief from academic work and gave us both the morning and afternoon hours for architecture. Thus relieved, we were able to sleep late and attend football practice in the after- noons, while the evenings being practically free from study enabled us to seek recreation from the day's work. "Alec" Adams moved to the Dormitories this year, so that he was able to stay in bed later and fix up his room before coming to College. This room was the most fixed place on the premises and furnished his daily excuse for lateness. Among the notable achievements of the year was the formation of the Heck Club. This was the fore- runner of the Purity League of the Senior year. The society received its inspiration from the immaculate vocabulary of our "white-winged Alec." His rashest expletive "Oh, Heck!" became the watchword of the society and anything stronger than this mild profanity was an outrage to the sanctity of the order and cost the indiscreet one the price of a cent. Like all the works of man, greed led to its downfall. The ultimate aim of the funds collected was the provision of a feed, so that each "cuss" began to stand for another cent's worth of cinnamon bun. We labored under great disadvantages during the Junior year. The drafting-room was not large enough to hold us all, for "Grouchy Teddy" Palmer and "Horsey" McTlvaine had joined the ranks. The lack of space and the limited supply of oxygen offered an opportunity for self-sacrifice, which Metzger and many others could not resist. These considerate fellows relieved the congestion by their absence. Also Owsley, of former fame, went to the bad. Another, "Dan" Brown by name, relieved us of his society by getting married, but this method was too severe to suit the rest of the crowd. "Rameses" Bickley kept the pace and always had time to spare. He worked on the theory that Palladio, Wren and other lights knew more about 118 architecture than he did. With this principle and a bit of tracing paper, Ramy solved the problem in shortest order. Schamberg, on the other hand, had little reverence for plates or photographs of classic art, but sought inspiration from Horticultural Hall, the Chemical Laboratory and the University Hospital buildings. With these three as prototypes, he solved anything from a cow-shed to a memorial. In his Punch Bozvl work he appealed to the spring and fall styles as portrayed by our fashionable tailors in their booklets. "Louie" Clark and "Scotty" De Armond serenely ignored precedent. The latter once obtained a mention on a design which the jury termed "American," but why they applied that name to such a "Can-Can" variety of art no one could guess. Many became enamored with the Concours publications for the solution of the problem, while some relied on the opinion of the majority. Galloway usually set to work cussing because the problem was not to his liking. "Per usual" "Alec" brought up the rear in a maze of indecision. With great effort the class remained intact and sallied forth in its Senior career. "Popsy" met us with open arms and a new system. The resignation of "Perk" left us without a critic. Our dear guardian confessed his inability to find anybody good enough for us, but said, that for the present he had acquired the generous assistance of Messrs. Davis and Hays, who would supervise our artistic flights for the time being. Then after a pleasing talk, "Popsy" led us to the second proposition. The class was to be separated that our estimable influence might permeate the entire depart- ment. A third innovation, and the star feature of the season, was the acquisition of criticism from the world's greatest lights. These "advantages" rendered us "the most fortunate students" in the business. So with a proper feeling of thanks- giving for these blessings we attacked the first problem. No kinks appeared in the system until our visiting critic hailed from another port and then the trains insisted on missing our critic. After a fortune had been spent on telegraphic despatches, "Popsy" gave up in despair and the problem met its timely end unhampered by criticism. Fable depicts the Senior as a serious personage, but not being at all super- stitious nor influenced in any way by precedent, we refused to act this role. De Armond alone showed heathen traits by his devout belief in chirognomy, spiritualism and many other "ognomies and isms." He tried to impose upon the class with frequent seances, when he would read our palms to suit his pleasure. Always seeking some new diversion, we systematized our complaints and in this way gave a continuous performance of "kicking" in "Popsy's" office. This constant complaining and catechizing bespoke an interest 119 m the work that befitted a Senior. Metzger was compelled to cultivate an interest in his work to a high degree. After the football season, "Popsy" cornered him in the glass case at the end of the hall and gave him some fatherly advice and direction. As a result of this confab, "Metz" worked day and night on the next problem, but as another fellow received "first mention," his ardor cooled and he made a sojourn to Bed- ford Springs, Pa. We mingled in this last year with the "Specials" who numbered among their collection a deal of vaudeville talent. Millis, a sort of a hyper-tenor, would frequently burst forth into song at which times our own dear Bill Smith would attempt a little close harmony with a wire-edge finish. Brady was another warbler, but his song was squelched to a great extent by an attack of typhoid fever which set him so hard at work for the remainder of his days that he seldom reached the "singing stage." Zortman added to the music of his fellows by accompaniment on the guitar, while his neighbor, Henry Ward, gave specialties on his phonographic larynx. McDonald, another member of the bunch, gained distinction by arousing the ire of Mr. Dana. "Mac's" innate Southern conceit deluded him into the idea that he could paint, which assumption Dana declared was entirely unsubstantiated by fact. Dana taught water-color ren- dering, but thought his principal duty was to take the conceit out of the class. This he did by a series of anecdotes of the way he used to do it. With our assistance, Tom Nolan taught us engineering. He made great progress in the course, for when an unfamiliar point arose one of the class enlight- ened him on the subject and the lecture proceeded. During these lullaby lectures most of the class "passed away" or sought employment to their fancy. Willis read the adorned and beautified "truth" in the North American. Spoerl wrote to his friend up the State. Most of the class preferred to continue their interrupted slum- bers of the early morning. "Alec," more sensible than the rest, stayed in bed. "Bill" Smith endeavored to exhibit an interest in the subject by taking notes, but as this diversion had become a habit i t required no mental effort. Some of the class avoided difficulty by coming three-quarters of an hour late and Tom finally came to the happy conclusion, that by postponing the roll-call until the last bell, he would not have to 120 flunk the class for over cutting. To sum up the work of this course we learned in all two things, namely, De Armond's "Protectus" Paint was the only salvation from ruin and, secondly, that contractors were thieves and their employees loafers. There were a few strenuous moments in this fourth year. These occurred in the last week of a problem, when the necessity of doing a little work became urgent. At such moments some of the members took dope. Willis would cultivate a fresh supply of "grouch" which lasted until it was time to take another lozenge. Tn this way he maintained an unbroken "grumpyness." "Louie" took to smoking a pipe because he thought it was professional. "Louie" and this pipe had a bad back draft and couldn't draw well. One evening he and the pipe had a "set-to," in which the former got a stomach blow and the pipe went out. Where it went to is a secret, for "Louie" has been hunting it ever since. At such times Bill Smith's dissipation reached a point where he talked of the merits of claret punch and became "bug house" when you men- tioned "Du Barry." The rashest of all our acts at these periods was the eating of "White House" ice cream. These frozen decoctions put a copper lining on all who partook of their cooling flavors. Only one sad and regrettable event marred the unbroken harmony of the four years. By chance one of the divisions cornered all the plates on monumental design. This caused such a case of "sour ball" in the other section that "Popsy" had to come to the rescue to avoid a clinch. Further trouble was averted by the arrival of the thesis design in which each fellow chose his subject. With different problems, we did not care to swipe from the same plate, so harmony was restored and love triumphed in the last moments of our expiring Colleg-e career. In former years it had been the custom to give five months to the thesis, but, as we had perfected the "slap in quick" method, five weeks were deemed sufficient. When this was finished we heard with a sigh of relief the crack of the tightly stretched paper as with the sharp cut of the knife it sprang free from the board. Yes, heard it with a sigh of relief and a shout of joy, but of joy not untinctured with regret, for our work was done at Pennsylvania and we were about to pass from a life which shall ever remain dear to our memory. 121 THE ARCHITECTURAL SOCIETY. THEAKHITECWRAL 30CIETP McIlvaihe ■ WE started the year with a deficit of five dollars and a membership of twelve, all deadheads. So, of course, at the first meeting we nominated the rest of the department, Sally and the co-eds excepted. Rammy strenuously objected and kept on nominating Queen Hatasy until we threw him out. Between this meeting and Christmas we held one hundred and fifty-two special, private, ordinary, monthly, disorderly, regular, and irregular meetings, at which we corrected the spelling and grammar of the minutes of the preceding meeting, nominating new men for membership and blackballing men previously nominated and kicking at the regular strictly intellectual feasts provided by the entertainment committee. During this time Owsley and Clark enlivened proceedings by fostering a movement for the establishment of an ice-water cooler on the third floor. Both spoke feelingly and with pathos of their thirst, but Alec objected -he had never experienced an early morning thirst and didn't believe they existed. At the next meeting in Rammy and Owsley's room, the entertainment committee acted with a single eye to its own delight and furnished two dozen bottles of beer and one box of Uneeda Biscuits. Clark headed the rescue party which was promptly organized for the relief of the overloaded committee. He says the nurse had on a purple wig and yellow eyes that night when she let him in. 123 But Nineteen-three marked a new and distinct advance in the endeavors of the Architectural Society; we feel that this year the society accomplished a great deal towards promoting good fellowship in the department. Our mid- winter department smoker was a great success-no one who was present will ever forget our notable show. The book was merely a truthful portrayal of the routine of the department-a guarantee of bubbling mirth. At this smoker, Popsey gave us a little hot air concerning the new instructor in design for next year, just by way of rubbing it into the poor cusses in 1903, who had to put up with any old instruction during their Senior year. Among other things the show proved that we had a few fellows' among us who were ideal visiting critics, much more ideal than the real thing. The show was such a success that the members of the Faculty requested the society to repeat it after Easter for the benefit of their wives and sweet- hearts. So on the evening of May 7 the original cast, with a few additions, pro- duced the show before a large and appreciative audience. Willis was the bright and shining light of this production, and completely captivated all the pretty girls in the audience. Clark won his bet on the pretty girl and then reported that he was too tight to treat her to soda on the way home. The members of the chorus were selected with a single eye to their inability to sing and dance. However, as Indians they were a great suc- cess regardless of the idea they had that it would be impossible for them to make big enough fools of themselves. Both "Panersy" and the lady member of the Junior Class got cold feet when it came to bringing Queen Hotasu to the show. "Josh" came to the show in order to see just how the members of the Arch. Faculty ran the course. At the latest report the author of our "Tommy Rot," "His Ionic Fluter" and Dolly are on probation, with Mr. Osborne as head of the department. 124 At the closing meeting of the year, we had a "jolly good" time at the T-Sq. Club. As usual the "tanks" in the society had more than they could drink, while the rest went dry. Truth was that there were three of the aforesaid tanks on the committee. Clark succeeded in proving himself a man (?) as usual by loading up strong. We left him trying to save the rest of the beer. We ended celebrating as all good Architects do. In Jail ??????? The Vj5itin<3 Cxitig 125 ENGINEERING ABOUT twenty-five innocent yearlings were captured by Pomp in the latter part of September, 1899. This collection were hunting the "lair of the Dook." Under his guidance we at last reached room 121. Here we were told what would be expected of us (don't think it was ever realized), how many hours we were to spend in preparing our work, etc., etc. We paid good attention while under his eye, but forgot it immediately on leaving the room. Next we were given slips which told us the equipment we would need. From the length of it, it was evident the Faculty were getting- a "rake-off." After this interview we severed connections with the "Dook"- except a few private meetings-until the Junior year. Next we visited "Bill" Easky, who told us something about surveying, all the while duck- ing imaginary objects. After this we went to the drawing-rooms and were met by a handsome J. P. J. Williams in a natty bicycle suit. Later we found him just as good as his looks. This, with some work with the Physics department and the "mathematical genius," Evans, and the lan- guages, worried us until the mid-years. After much worry we got 126 through, but the majority of us had to do some training to get off a few conditions. When the spring came we made delightful Saturday trips to the Flower Farm. Here we fell in with the "greatest ever" Willie Webb. "Willie" rode a wheel and wore the jauntiest yellow ochre bicycle suit and a funny little cap, which sat on a smile. Willie's figure was divine. On these trips the boys developed peculiar traits. "Tommy" Doyle was always wandering off, picking flowers, and soon earned the name "Flower Girl." Lucy Blythe, better known as "Cherub," became fascinated with the pigs and spent all his spare time with them. One day he got stuck there and couldn't come home with the crowd. Two shorties in the crowd-Freeman and Kneedler- were so small that they could not see through the instruments and were excused from this work. With this we worried through till the mid-years. Here was the rub. "Tommy" didn't think he could use a "pony" correctly; "Cherub," "Gunny" Munoz, the Smith twins, all couldn't sit next to "Bill" Leggo; "Dave" Kneedler and "Dicky" Mansfield didn't know enough to think it out; "Doriss" and "Gill" didn't know how they were to work their scheme of "Gill" doing the practical and Howard the theoretical part; "Buck" McDevitt, "Jinks" Poultney and "Shorty" couldn't read their own writing, so didn't dare to make cribs. The others, headed by "Ike" Kohn, were too lazy to make any "lest we forget's" and depended on the generosity of the class as a whole. Nobody seemed to realize the nearness of the final exams until they were upon us. Then some midnight oil was spent. These depleted our numbers sadly. Frederick Maximilian Von Sael, Fehr, and Feger entered the list of "has-beens." Stewart left us because of ill health and expected to return the following year. Thus, after entering with twenty-three we finished our first year four short of this number. The Soph year opened with many familiar faces missing from the crowd, and about half of those who managed to hang on were struggling under the burden of conditions. Some of the fellows acquired such a liking for these that they have never been without them and the finals only a few weeks off. Wake up! Probably the greatest contribution of this crowd to the glory of our glorious class in this year was the breaking up of the Fresh picture. They did it with a vengeance. Trust the "rough-housers"- "Buck," "Billy Bounce," "Shorty," "Gas Tank," " Eddie," "Gill" and "Jinks"-to get into a fight if there is one to be found. 127 It was in the second term of this year that our lady-killing contingent received a most valuable addition in the personage of "Georgie." "Ike" and "Russ" were driven back to the tall timbers and have been there ever since. After the labors of the year we were sent away on a month's vacation to Harvey's Lake, to have a good time and incidentally do a little surveying. That month will, to all of us, be the ace of trumps in the whole deck of our lives. "Willie" had charge of the slaughter and took the Mrs. and a sewing machine along. This made the wise ones scratch their heads and say nothing. We hung up at Rhoades' Hotel, and what we did to that place was a plenty. The "watch dog" and "gray-beard loon" were so glad when it came time for us to leave that they would not hold our baggage for breakage and things stolen for fear that we might stay. Memories of the work and lunches still grate upon us. Those lunches-everything else but grub was found in them. "Willie" was foxy and sent "Bill" Easky out with lunch parties while he remained at the hotel with Mrs. Webb. The "Dock" paid us a visit and took one lunch with us, and funny to relate, he was able to breathe when the fall term started. "Gunny" had a birthday party while away with the crowd. He had an elaborate set-out sent out from Dennett's. The menu consisted of gasoline cake-that's light cake-and cake and cake. Quite extensive. After a week's time it was hard to tell who was in charge of the party, "Eddie" Justice, "Sooker Luce," or "Willie" and his staff. The two former were always butting in when not wanted. That's their weakness. During one of our Sunday rambles, the crowd came upon a look-out tower on the top of one of the highest hills, which promised an unsurpassed view. But when we tried to enter the building we found that the owner had had the audacity to lock it, just as if we did not have the right to go where we pleased. This enraged us so that we decided to take the place by storm and finally succeeded in getting in, after repeated 128 attacks upon the door with a fence-rail. After Howard Doriss got a few pictures we rambled some more and got back to the hotel in time for hash. The caretaker of the look-out was waiting for us, mad as a hornet. He threatened to have us all arrested and sent to jail for house-breaking. One evening while at supper, word was brought to us that the "County Sheriff" was waiting outside with a warrant for our arrest, and when we assembled on the porch we found the aforesaid sheriff, a gray- beard rube, at least seventy-five years old. To have rough-housed him would have been a shame and since the warrant bore the name of everybody in our party, we took it as a good joke and went peacefully about four miles over the country road to the Justice of the Peace. Here ensued one of the greatest criminal trials on record, in which our "Willie" did the Shields act and made the guilty appear innocent. And thus, although guilty, we escaped the humiliation, or honor, of being jailed. The memories of the last night will never die. Enough schemes could not be devised to make every- body's life miserable. The whole layout of the hotel was changed. Sleep-nobody got any and very few wanted it. Bowling contests were held in the halls and up and down the stairs, "Grouchy" and "Gray Beard" swore, Mrs. Webb moaned, "Willie" frothed at the mouth while "Bill" Easky gave imaginary orders to ditto students. The grand finale was held in the end room. Nightshirts and rough house were in order-after- ward everybody was out of order. When the racket became too loud, outside interference was in order. Of the fifteen fellows in the scrimmage, about three were visible to the naked eye. Out on the shutters, hang- ing by window-ledge, under beds, etc., was the majority. Then for a lecture from the white-robed angels ( ?). "Willie" led the procession, pressed closely by "Bill" Easky, "Grouchy" and "Gray Beard." Thus closes our most eventful year with fondest recollections and the one desire to take another trip with the gang to Harvey's Lake. Everybody turned up on deck the next year except "Billy" Paul, "Jinks" Poultney and the "Rev. Howard" Doriss. At this time '02 got enlargement of the heart and donated us "Croady." He of the "Pomp" variety, but no kin. We started in with his royal nibs the "Book" and for the first time some of the fellows were scared into a little work. "Willie" Webb was again in evidence. In the meantime we renewed our acquaintance with "Dicky" Richards in the Randal Morgan Lab- oratory of Physics, much to our sorrow. The mid-years woke us up from our happy dream, but we hit them with a flying wedge and pulled through without the loss of a man, although some were severely wounded in the conflict, nearly all receiv- ing a condition or so. "Ike" forged to the front in the lazy man's race, but he had worked at it during the summer. 129 Under Dr. Brown's pilotage we were run upon a rocky coast and made the acquaintance of Sphaler- ite, Bauxite, and all the other "ites." When it came time for the exams, "Russ" was out fussing as usual and sunk. Note-writing kept us busy until a month before the exams. The finals came in due time and we went up against them and only one of us bounced back. This loss was by far the greatest we had suffered yet, for we would not have swapped little "Shorty" Freeman for a dozen other men. Those of us who passed became dignified Seniors, but the next combination we had to beat was four months of hard work, which separated the bunch widely and brought many interesting incidents. "Willie" Leggo played the part of a life-saving fireman for one consecutive night at Cumberland, Md. "Dick" Mansfield found he could give the natural gas works a good run for the money, while Tom Doyle succeeded in convincing the landlady in the same town that he was Dutch and got his second piece of pie. At Altoona, "Georgie" met his affinity and now it is a sure thing. "Gill" and "Russ" worked the P. R. R. for free rides. "Ike" did the American Bridge except on Saturdays and Sundays, when he went to Atlantic City to see-well, what's the use ? everybody knows he left his pin on the other vest. And thus the summer passed, some of us work- ing, some wooing, many both, but we all reported for the last inning in the fall. Undoubtedly those who returned had made the time-worn resolution to cut out everything pertain- ing to play-and study. The fellows didn't seem to recognize the dignity of their positions. "Buck," after a summer in Norristown, was as crazy as ever; "Ike" was lazier than ever, if possible; "Dave" had another spasm of his grouch; and "Dick" still had time to kick. This propensity in the latter fellow became so noticeable that he was dubbed "Kicker" by the "Dook." This name became combined with his former one and he was known now as "Kicker Gas Bag." Again we met a man called "Jerry" who quizzed us on the doings of the steam engine. As it was his first year, he had a reputation to make, and as a consequence we were easy victims. After the mid-years our fellows took to sporting the cap and gown. What handy things they were in our laboratory, no dirt or grease could reach us and our clothes began to show the effects of the good treatment they had received. Our main difficulty was Astronomy under "Poppy Doo." Problems and quizzes galore were showered upon us and life made generally miserable. However, the end is near. By the time the Record is out the majority of our work will be over. That we are sorry to leave does not express our feelings. Friendships will be torn asunder and good fellows will part, some maybe never to 130 see one another again. It is rather hard to think of this, but is undoubtedly true. Immediately after Com- mencement we separate for all parts of the States, but we have one pleasant remembrance that we all can carry with us and that is the memory of the many pleasant hours spent with our own "Dock," Professor Edgar Marburg. 131 MECHANICAL, CHEMICAL AND ELECTRICAL ENGINEERS. MECHANICAL^ -'ELECTRICAL X* CHEMICAL ENGINEERING £ W^IRESHMEN in Mechanical and Electrical Engi- neering, to Prof. Spangler, in the Mechanical Engineering Laboratory at Thirty-fourth and Spruce streets." These words, from the lips of Dean Penniman, in chapel one September morning in the fall of 1899, should be looked upon as marking the opening of an important epoch in the history of the University. For this simple announcement marked the birth of that glorious and noble aggregation of genius and brilliancy ever afterwards known as the Engineers of 1903. Prior to this announcement, we had been simply lone individuals of a great class of Fresh- men, but these few sentences made us engineers. I do not suppose we were then aware of what this was to mean to us. 133 But there was a certain stir even then, in each heart, at thus being addressed for the first time, by the appella- tions of our courses. In due time, like all other Freshmen Engineers, we timidly inquired our way to that building which we afterwards were to know so well. Here we were all piloted, partly by signs, partly by Seniors and in spite of individuals calling themselves Sophomores, to a room on the second floor, by the door of which hung a sign emblazoned "Freshmen." And now, for the first time we were permitted to see in a body that eminent assemblage of ambition, ardor, authority, attraction and activity which we afterwards found ourselves to be. It was hard for us then to realize to what extent this group of budding minds would develop. Few, indeed, could have imagined what latent possibilities of athletic stars, mental celebrities, immortal wits or original inventors were concealed in that group of earnest youngsters then assembled for the first time. But five minutes had not elapsed before we began to feel that unseen and intangible influence of humor and brilliancy which pervades the atmosphere of the whole department. The irresistible twinkle in the corner of Mike Freeland's eye told us that here was one from whom we might expect nothing but laughter and wit. The rest of us had not half finished copying off our rosters and book-lists before the irrepressible Mike, with dear old Van Murfin, Bill Hughes and a few other kindred spirits, were busily engaged in con- structing flying-machines, trolley cars and locomotives, out of the wheels and gears of the models in the show-case. The business part being finished, we began to look around and endeavor to judge what manner of men these were with whom we were fated to associate. The nonchalant air of familiarity borne by Bain, Howard and Parvin showed us that they had been there before, and hence would be there again next year. Arthur Adamson's pearl waistcoat prophesied to us that the duties and cares of dress would prove too great for him to pursue the course of an Engineer. But the large majority showed, by their artistic manner of combining work and amusement, business and pleasure, that they were of a kind which would stay with us to the end. Charlie Gamble, Bill Houskeeper and Al Ludy already began to gravitate toward each other, impelled by that mysterious triangle of forces which knit them finally into the inseparable three-Faith, Hope and Charity. Bert Genay and Walt Simms found each other. Luburg, Murfin, Hughes and Freeland started joking. Cariss, Blair and Burroughs began to wonder why. Fischler, Flagler and Frazer began not to care. And with Beattie, Lewis, Wilkinson, Van Osten and Westwood to complete the list, we started in our Freshman year. 134 It would take a book the size of the whole Record to merely chronicle the important events of our four years of College work, only a few of our joys and sorrows, our triumphs and trials, can be recorded here. Probably the worst trial for Freshmen was the course in Descriptive Geometry. We certainly seemed to fail to comprehend the magnificent "mental training," for which this subject was devised. In Trigonometry, we allowed Hallett to ask us each day: "Ahem! Gentlemen, is there any difficulty with the lesson?" while in English, those whom Quinn did not ask to recite, learned much about the most comfortable way of sleeping in a class-room. Morris and McConnell conducted weekly conversational afternoons in the shop, during which we stood round in overalls, with tools in our hands, lest anyone should think we were not working. By the time Freshmen mid-years came around, we had learned what each man was most apt at, and the individual characteristics of our classmates began to show up more strongly. We learned of Adamson's and Burroughs' propensities for "fussing." Of Freeland's fondness for Irish bulls. Of Murfin's propensi- ties for weird whistling noises. Of Cariss' fondness for lady-like nails, and of all the little idiosyncrasies and individualities which are now so firmly associated with each name. The Chemical Engineers, Fred Eckfeldt and Mike Eisenbrey, who took a majority of their work with us, became identified with the department, and upon them devolved the responsibility of representing us in athletics. They went out together with Freeland and Westwood, at the first call for crew candidates. The two Mechanicals were rejected by Coach Ward, on account of their not having the necessary 140 pounds avoirdupois, but the Chemicals both got their numerals at Poughkeepsie, and for four years held up the honor of the department in 'Varsity crews at Annapolis, Ithaca, Henley and Poughkeepsie. Freeland, determined to find some field for his athletic prowess, and at lacrosse, in his Senior year managed the team through a successful season. In second term Freshman year, we met Dr. I. J. Schwatt. This genial gentleman presided over us in Higher Algebra, and discoursed to us for four hours a week upon the co-ed question, the weather, babies, sandwiches, clothing, the Provost, the Dean, "Albert, vat you call Pomp," chalk, piles of shot, and almost every other conceivable subject. When the occasion demanded, he would lecture on "infinite seriess" for an hour or less, winding up with, "Shentlemen, you are, you understand, all tarn vools, und you know no more matematics, you understand, than my little baby." "Eisenbrey, vy do you laugh, you schvell ?" "Loowees, you vill, you understand, go up to de market, und tell de man to send to Mrs. Schwatt a feesh." "Shat ap!" 135 But all this, too, is simply a part of every Engineer's course, and in due time we reached the end of the second term. We began our Sophomore year with ranks somewhat depleted, but with those who were left cemented together all the more firmly. Blair, Bain, Beattie, Howard, Parvin and Wilkinson had fallen by the wayside. But, on the other hand, Tunnell and Raine, having passed satisfactory examinations for admis- sion to 1903, were allowed to enter from the class above. John Shmookler, a genial soul from Birz, Russia, entered the ranks of the Chemical Engineers, together with M. A. Ross, who had been absent from 1902 on a year's leave of absence. We devoted the requisite amount of time to instructing the Freshmen in the cus- toms of the University and of our department, and spent a small portion of what time remained in preparing for our College work. As the terms went by, we found out more and more how unnecessary it was to do outside studying when we had the Reading Room at our disposal; and how impossible it was to study in the Reading Room, even if we did want to. This year, Morris transferred the scene of his conversaziones to the molding room on the fourth floor; and here, under his able tutelage, we played at making mud pies, and toyed with "jiggers," "sand-cores," "copes" and "drags." McConnell still held his afternoons in the shop, but we occasionally did a little work for him, just to keep the tools from getting rusty. We advanced from chipping and filing on a three-inch cast-iron block, to more interesting work with lathes, planer and milling machine. In our first term we met Dr. Fisher for four hours a week in Analytic Geometry, and in the second, he transferred his efforts toward endeavoring to give us some ideas on the subject of Calculus. His hours will be remembered by us for the attractive way in which he presented to us these knotty subjects. Raine and Tunnell began their now famous system of questions on all abstruse and theoretical subjects. "What would happen if there wasn't any gravitation?" and "If the asymptole cuts the parabola at infinity, could you see it if there was a fourth dimension?" And other questions of a similar character. We went for a couple of terms to Dr. Richards in Analytic Mechanics, and he instructed us ably in methods whereby we might in future life know how sharp a corner we could turn in an automobile without its tipping over, or know how many times a bird would turn over in the air, after being hit three inches from the left eyeball with a lukewarm six-and-three- quarter-ounce potato thrown by a man who made 78? in the strength test. In the Chemical Lab. we diluted water, and boiled vile, fizzy, sulphurous compounds, in order to find out what Jim Gillinder had put in our "unknowns." And if Jim forgot, or got two fellows' beakers mixed, it didn't make any difference. We 136 knew what was in them, even if he didn't. The bowl fight, the cremation and the Engineers' dance were all incidents of the year which we graced and adorned by our presence, but their description is not in order in this brief account. We began our Junior year with fewer changes in our ranks, but with considerable change in our work. Johnny Westwood, one of the brightest and best of comrades, had been forced to leave on account of the death of his father; and it was with a feeling of sorrow that we were compelled to go on without him. Joe Fischler was playing pool in the Houston Club "on leave of absence." C. K. Taylor, the musician of the crowd, betook himself to the Arts courses. The Mechanicals were reinforced by a massive hulk named Wille, from the wilds of Girard avenue, while the ranks of the Chemicals were strengthened by the addi- tion of J. Clarence Roberts and Cassius Hinds Watson, A. B., both former students of bygone classes. The scene of our activities now was almost wholly confined to the Engineering Building; the only out- side hours being those in Calculus and Analytic Mechanics. And now we began to truly appreciate the man who presided over our courses and directed our work. On coming into personal contact with Professor Spangler in the class-room, we began to understand him and his manner. Our former awe and fear of the important man who ruled us from behind his desk in the office, changed to a love and regard for the man who was so quick to help us with a problem on the board, and who was so genial and hearty with us in all our class-room work. The former titles of the "Professor" and the "Colonel" gradually softened down into our pet nickname "Pop," which, disrespectful as it may at first appear, has, I think, to us a meaning of more respect and reverent regard than any more formal title could ever bear. Through all our lives, T believe we will never look back except with pleasure, on that part of our College career which was so intimately con- nected with Professor Henry W. Spangler. The department work in Junior and Senior years is so closely connected as to be almost continuous. In our laboratory work, Mechanical and Electrical, Hydraulics, Mechanics, Boilers and Electrodynamics was much of real hard work which had to be done. Between, during, and around this work was sandwiched our play, and if there remains anything in the building which we didn't play with or play at, it lies beyond the powers of this historian to recall it. The Engineers' Club proved both amusing and interesting; at the end of Junior year, we put Charley Gamble at the head of it, and under his care it has recently put forth another sign of its strength, in the shape of a handsome membership badge. The competition for the design of this pin was keen and spirited, the patterns submitted ranging all the way from a complete model steam engine to a portrait of the Colonel. 137 Senior year, with all its activities and characteristics, is marked by two sad periods, which left gaps in our ranks which can never be filled. Early in the year, Vanlear Rodgers Murfin died in the University Hospital, from appendicitis. For the best part of four years he had been one of the brightest and most cheer- ful men in the class. His ready smile and warm heart had won him a place in our affections which has never been filled, and his absence from our ranks has been felt daily up till the time of graduation. Later on, John Francis Monaghan, a Post Senior in the Five- year course, died also. Most of his work had been done in our com- pany, and his loss was seriously felt by all who had come in contact with him. Of course the most important work of Senior year is Thesis. Here the individuality of each man got a chance to show itself, and the second term was not very old before we found Guy Luburg rending plates asunder by the force of his mighty arm; Van Osten burning up the Olsen machine with a withering glance of his fiery eye; Charley Gamble going into hysterics with a piece of iron; Joe Lewis swimming up and down the Eddy Currents, and Joe Burroughs taking the tem- perature of the coal-pile, to get the heating value of the fuel. Mike Freeland tried to ruin good lathe-tools, while Raine tried to telegraph without wires or a receiving station. Billy Houskeeper played with solutions to get their electrolytic resistances, while Al Ludy was finding by what angle he and his transformer lagged behind the rest of us. Last but not least, as a favor to the Faculty, are the Final Exami- nations. These are passed by most, from sheer force of habit, rather than from any particular efforts on the part of the student, and it is with feelings of regret that we at last take leave of the University, and par- ticularly the department, where we have spent four such happy years. 138 The Chemists- ON that memorable October day, four years ago, several embryo chemists were welcomed at the Har- rison Laboratory by the jovial smile and handshake of Dr. Smith. Just behind him stood his first assistant, Professor (Walter) Rogers, who directed us to the lecture room. About fifteen minutes later Bache rushed breathlessly in, with that grieved look, which seemed to say, "Why haven't you waited for me?" Soon we made the acquaintance of Dr. Shinn, who, in spite of occasional caustic (NaOH) remarks, proved to be an able and genial teacher. Before long we were installed in the laboratory, learning how to make holes in beakers and, incidentally, in our deposits. In consequence we made frequent visits to Dr. Conner, who inspired us with respect and reverence (for about two weeks). The monotony of routine was broken by a few explosions and by weekly demonstrations from Levy on "How to raise twins (crystals)." Alas, those happy Freshman days were soon over. The mid-years had come and passed, without causing any diminution in our ranks; but we were not all so fortunate in the finals. George Lavino was convinced (by the faculty) that chemistry was not his forte; so he left us to enter the business world. 139 in our Sophomore year we came under the watchful eye of "Jim" Gillinder, who did his best to impress us with what qualitative analysis he had remembered from his Sophomore year. During this term our ranks were augmented by the appearance of Geo. S. Schoch, A. B. (Susquehanna University), and Harvey Patton (Wilmington Kindergarten). Only too soon we had to write their obituaries. Unable to stand the hot pace set by Bache, they were forced in June to return to their Alma Maters for post-graduate courses. We must not forget to mention the entrance of Jack Frazer, who, after a brief trial of mechanical engineering, decided to pursue chemistry, the profession of his honored ancestor. We were indeed glad to wel- come one who has since proved himself such a "good fellow." It was during this year that we came into closer contact with Dr. Smith, with his lectures and "little quizzes," in which latter the marks ranged from two up. Before long "Blum dun it" (according to Gil- linder), but what he "dun" we are still unable to determine. We divided our time between gazing out of the hydrogen-sulphide room and guessing at what Gillinder had spilt into the "unknown" solutions which he distributed to us. Outside of the department there was little doing. We learned how to criticise books which some one else had read, and incidentally we wrote some effusive essays on such thrilling subjects as "The Exterior of a House." It was also during our second year that we first made the acquaintance of Dr. Amos Brown, with his beloved rocks and his weekly lectures on "Everything Else but Mineralogy." And so the time passed. Before long we were advanced, this time coming under the jovial Mr. Wal- lace, who always wore "the smile that won't come off." Oh, the brushing up on mathematics, especially arithmetic, and algebraic equations with one unknown. "Cosh" Drueding says he never realized how useful mathematics might be to a fellow. Some one says that a person can't do more than one thing at a time. Well, he should have seen our "Darling" West grinding chromite to an "impalpable powder," reading the newspaper, and keeping a watchful eye on the Spruce street pedestrians, meanwhile looking for something to do. He was real steam-heated. This year we again came under Dr. Shinn, who told us what Sadtler, Thorpe and a few others knew about technical chemistry. And then those weekly trips! Each one deserves an article in itself (at least Dr. Shinn thought so). Every week a crowd of "Indians" left the lab. to investigate the mysteries of paint works, oil works, gas works, and in fact everything that works; even including a brewery, where the yeast works. Alas, their efforts to make any of us work were futile. How Phillips swiped the soap, how Bache "hit a beer," how Frazer got a lime bath, how in general we all made fools of ourselves (according to the aforesaid Dr. Shinn) would take too long to relate. 140 Every week we visited the assay room, where we learned to chop wood, build fires, burn our fingers, play shuffle-boards, and in fact learned a little of almost every useful accomplishment. What studies in deshabille were there offered to the admiring gaze of the pedestrians! though not preserved by our artist, "'Doc" Wiley, who was too busy doing stunts, such as standing on one finger (with disastrous results). Here we were treated to a weekly boxing or wrestling match between "Sam" Ross and "Bert" Phillips, our two lightweights. There was seldom more than one round, since a "fall" on the cement floor usually meant a "knockout." Before we realized it we were dignified Seniors, with the privilege (?) of sitting in the appropriate place in chapel. We learned in the fall that Ernest Dupont had deserted us, to enter business, and, alas, as we have lately heard, to join the ranks of the Benedicts, thus doubling his chance of a "blowing up." We all expect to hear a "good report" from Ernest some day. During this last year we have been under the gentle guidance of Mr. Walter Taggart, instructor in organic chemistry, food analysis, gas analysis, water analysis, spectroscopy, polarimetry, glass blowing and trombone playing; all of which he is conscientiously trying to absorb from a huge stack of reference books, behind which he is daily ensconced. We all started in making preparations, aptly so-called, for there was seldom anything else but preparation (maximum yield = i per cent). It was here that the chemical engineers were at an advantage, setting up complicated apparatus, constructing pipe-lines, etc. Scarcely a day passed that "Mike" Eisenbrey was not heard dem- onstrating some new stunt, with all the mathematical and physical considerations attached thereto. Price Wetherill and Lindeman, while not exactly belonging to the "gang," were welcome companions during our Senior year. As the year advanced we became engaged on different kinds of work. "Electric Willy" spent several weeks in trying to catch the elusive ions; West in vain tried to "combust," while Phillips returned to the first experiment he ever performed, the analysis of milk. In connection with food analysis we soon had a small store of provisions, such as milk, butter (oleo), lard, sugar, molasses, flour, etc., with which the co-eds soon expect to start a cooking school in connection with the University restaurant. Of recitations we had few. Once a week we attended a class in theological chemistry, where Dr. Smith expounded on "The Book of Genesis, as proved by the solubilities of the arseno-phospho-vanadoso- tungsto-molybdates," or "Why we lost the Harvard game." Mr. White gave us weekly instructions on "Business Law," or how to do the other fellow. Then there were those classes of Mr. Frye in political 141 economy, where we Seniors, sad to say, wrought havoc with the morals and conduct of the innocent Fresh- men unwisely thrown into our midst. And thus have passed, quickly and pleasantly, the four happy years of our college course. As we look forward to the examinations, the Commencement, and then to our careers, our only hope is that our future employers may be as kind, as forbearing and as considerate as have been our teachers; in other words, that they shall be "men." 142 BESES Architecture Adams.-"A House for a Society of Architects."

THE rowing history of our class began in the fall of 1899, when eight candidates reported for the eight-oared crew. Who would have thought when gazing at the punitive bunch of undersized oarsmen, standing trembling at the boathouse, that this branch of sport was to be the most successful in our class ? "Large things are said to come from small beginnings." The class crews of 1903 have settled the truth of this statement beyond doubt, as from a crew of youngsters, suffering ignominious defeat, we have grown and developed into a boat-load of husky men, earning glorious victories. What cared the members of this first crew, if they were forced to cut a few lectures! Is there a man in the whole faculty, who could lecture to us in such beautiful, simple Anglo-Saxon, as Coach Ward? His invectives and sarcasm taught us more of forceful spoken discourse than a careful perusal of Genung. History and mythology were also to be had in any one of his inimitable stories. Of course our progress was slow at first. It was when we were first allowed to row all eight oars at a time, with a consequent depletion of the 145 CLASS CREW-SENIOR YEAR. crab supply in the Schuylkill, that Ward took to calling us the "Seidlitz Powder Crew." Although this was appropriate, we were offended, and said it would have been in far better form to call us the "side-wheel steamer." At last the day of the race came. By strenuous efforts we rowed up to the line against adverse wind and tide. At the word "go," we went-to pieces. By the grace and help of the aforementioned wind and tide, we were able to cross the line in time to see the other crews disappear over the horizon and to learn that we had not qualified for the finals. But although we did not possess the necessary strength and weight to win, we were finished oarsmen-at the finish. McCutcheon deserves mention cum laude. He rowed in perfect form and when in the middle of a "ten" he missed the water, he did not fall backward, but swung in perfect unison with the other men. It was no harder for him to pull his oar through the air than through the water. It was then that "Old Man Ward" said, "Why, he can't pull hard enough to pull a shad off a gridiron." But although our first effort on the water had not brought to the class any laurels of victory, we were destined for greater things. When we went on the machines in January, many immortals were added to our squad. Hildebrand, Eisenbrey, Gillaspy, Keller, Eckfeldt, Gardiner, and Tomlinson were in the squad and business began to pick up immediately. Bloch, Kier, Kelley and Tupper strove hard to uphold the prestige of the fall crew. Obviously, this was easy-there was no prestige. After a few months on the machines, learning the rudiments of rowing, we were taken onto the water. Bernard Bloch was elected captain, because he could tell the starboard from the port side of the shell, no matter in what direction it was pointed. The first day was cold and rough, and raised questions of doubt as to the fun of rowing on a crew. Gillaspy could not swim-therefore he rowed as well as he knew how. During these first few weeks Barry Kelley enlivened the squad by pleading with Ward to allow him to wear the new red mittens which his grandmother had thoughtfully knitted for him. Our Freshman crew, as well as our crews that followed it, was noted for its scrappy disposition. We would allow nothing to pass us on the river unless it could go faster than we could. The first week we beat three pieces of driftwood and the second Fresh crew, rowing with five men. Glory was in store for us. We were happy. Our first race came after a month's practice on the water. The Fairmounts, a crew of large, husky Irishmen fa combination hard to beat) was encountered, and, despite Bloch's crab, we were easy winners. The Annapolis crew was picked as follows: No. i, Bloch; No. 2, Keller; No. 3, Eckfeldt; No. 4, Gillaspy; No. 5, Gardiner; No. 6, Kier; No. 7, Eisenbrey; stroke, Hildebrand; coxswain, Tupper. It was 147 our first trip with the crews, and everything was new to us. It is not necessary to dwell upon the curious question of Kelley and the corsets. When the day of the race came we were on the line first, with fight sticking out all over us. When the referee asked, "Are you ready, Penn?" Tupper responded with, "Let her go!" and was greatly embarrassed to hear the "Aye, aye, sir!" from the Navy coxswain. The word was given. Hildebrand raised the stroke to forty, the stern four pulled and the bow men took in the slack. We quickly forged ahead, but could not stand the strain, and were forced to slow down. Annapolis gained, and nearing the finish we both spurted. Our men shut their eyes, all yelled and dug in their oars, and amidst great enthusiasm we crossed the line. When Kelley, who was one of the judges, announced "that me and the admiral give the race to the Navy by six feet," a member of our crew said, "Whew, if I had known they were so close I would have pulled harder." He will never say it again. We returned home undismayed by the defeat and determined to redeem ourselves. The men con- tinued to row in the same order, and were selected to row at Poughkeepsie, with Kelley and Tomlinson as substitutes. The days at the Bellevue Villa were happy ones, and fully repaid us for the hard work in prepara- tion for the race. It was here that we heard and reheard the stories of "Old Man Ward's" victories on the water. Every time we heard them we became enthusiastic. It was policy, and we played it. By the day of the race we had rounded into good form, and although we were the youngest and lightest crew at the line, we hoped to make up this handicap by our spirit and determination. Owing to a high wind our race was not started until eight o'clock in the evening. As a preliminary to whet the appetite of the spectators, our 'Varsity crew won over Wisconsin, Cornell, Columbia and Georgetown. After a little delay at the line we were off. Darkness was rapidly coming on. Wisconsin got the start and was never headed. Cornell came next, with our crew hard after her. Columbia was somewhere in the rear, trying to catch us. Our men worked together beautifully, but at the mile mark Cornell was ahead of us by a length and a half. We picked up the stroke and gradually cut down this lead. We had now entered the last half mile, and complete darkness had shut us off from the observation train. We still gained, and with a furious spurt crossed the line four feet ahead of Cornell. By this effort we were the first Pennsylvania Freshman crew to defeat Cornell, so, although we were not winners, we had sufficient consolation to bear up under the sorrow. The next fall our Sophomore crew went onto the water. Gardiner, Keller and Bloch had forsaken us for the football field, and Wetherill, Shoch and Tomlinson were selected to take their places. Hilde- 148 brand was chosen captain. This crew was the fastest on the river, and won every impromptu race rowed, but on the day of the first heat Tomlinson was taken sick, and a man who had never rowed was given his place. At the start we caught the water first and soon took the lead. Up to the last twenty strokes we were easy winners, but the pace was too hot for the new man, and we were forced to merely qualify for the finals, 'oi beating us by a few feet. After the heat we drew for boats, and unfortunately drew a starboard-rigged shell. It was, therefore, necessary for us to change the order of the crew and make our stroke change sides. We were still minus one man. Keller was pressed into service, and although he had not rowed since the spring before at Poughkeepsie, he rowed a magnificent race, 'oi D. and our crew immediately took the lead. The first half mile we had to row carefully and slowly, to learn to set up the new boat. By the time we had caught the swing 'oi D. had a lead of over a length. We then began to row in earnest, and at the end of the final spurt only lacked seven feet of being winners, 'oi C. followed us three lengths behind. By this race, although we lost the University championship, we won that of the College Department, 'oi C. claimed it in their Record, but the judges declared us champions, as the first race was a mere preliminary to the final. In Junior year Eisenbrey was elected captain. Wetherill was not out, and Jackson and Shisler were given seats in the shell. It is not necessary to dwell upon this race, as we won the University championship easily, defeating '04 C., who were the intercollegiate Freshmen champions. It suffices to say that our crew rowed in great form, were never headed, and crossed the line easy winners. Our Senior year found us again on the water with Eckfeldt as captain. Jackson had left the class and R. B. Smith took his place. Again the championship came to us by a goodly margin. The day following this race the College crew won the inter-department race. The crew was composed of six Senior oarsmen and a Senior coxswain and two men from the Junior boat. But our class has not only been successful in class races, but has also been prominent in supplying 'Varsity men. Our class has had more men entitled to wear the 'Varsity crew "P" than any class that has ever entered the University. The list of men is: Gardiner, Eisenbrey, Hildebrand, Eckfeldt, Shoch, Gil- laspy, Kier, Keller and Tupper. This ends the history of the rowing activity of the Class of 1903. Beginning under the most inau- spicious conditions, with material that gave no evidence of the excellence that was to distinguish it, our crews have fought valiantly and pluckily for the honor of the class. Their every effort has been nobler than the last, and they have brought numerous offerings of laurel to the crown of the Class of 1903. 149 CLASS FOOTBALL TEAM-SENIOR YEAR. CAPTAIN HARE'S call to candidates for 1903's Freshman football team was productive of an informal gathering on Franklin Field, under the shelter of the walls of the office and just inside the gate bearing that expressive motto, "No Admittance." Here Hedges, with that worried look of his, eyed us hopelessly and inquired concerning our past performances. Having found out to his dissatisfaction, and merely as a matter of form, what schools we came from and what positions we had played while at school, he announced in a grieved voice that practice would begin the next day at twelve o'clock and continue regularly at the usual dinner-hour. Tn the days that followed we learned, in the cases of "Heppy" and Ellis Ramsey, that Hedges was no respecter of size and that he was not deeply impressed by certain startling combinations of color. However, two or three of us had the temerity to call Jack Hedges by his first name and were thenceforth assured of our positions. George Lavino seemed to be about the only one of us who could punt or drop-kick and was good-looking to boot, so we elected him captain and a good one he made. On the old field we held weekly functions with the teams from the Episcopal Academy or the Central High School, which always resulted in our running up a score of five or six touchdowns in about twenty minutes. It was here that we first made the acquaintance of such men as Pepper, Townsend, Davis, Hendrie, Mike Bennett and little man Large. 151 During our Freshman year our hospital list was a large one. Early in the season, during a practice game, Folwell fell over a prostrate form and was laid up in the hospital with a badly contused thigh. Two days later, Keller celebrated our victory over Drexel in the first scheduled game by breaking his leg. Jim Shoch's services on the 'Varsity were appreciated to such an extent that he was laid off for the greater part of the season with a badly bruised leg. And George Lavino had the ligaments of his ankle torn in the game with the Harvard Freshmen. These statistics are not given for the benefit of fond mothers or trem- bling sweethearts, nor for anti-football societies. They serve, however as an explanation of the fact that 1902 did manage to beat us. Then, too, what is there in getting hurt, anyway, if you can't talk about it? The story of the ''wed-headed man" in the Harvard Freshman game needs no comment, and the Fall River trip brought much to the surface. When Berney Block took to the tall timbers they call goal posts with the ball safely under his arm and a most earnest expression of countenance, of course he was called back. Pennsylvania Freshman teams were not supposed to score when they went to Cambridge. The difficulty was solved by Jim Shoch's kicking a pretty goal from the field, which, of course, couldn't be called back. Later on, the spectators were treated to a rare sight. The long and short of the matter is that when Harvard's six-foot-four guard loped down the field for a touchdown, no one followed him but Ellis Ramsev, who legged it after him at an exact distance of two yards for the whole length of the field. The spectators speculated as to just how big a coffin should be ordered if the distance were materially diminished, but there was nothing doing in the undertaker's line-only another touchdown. We venture to affirm that no real game ever had such a story-book ending as our game with the Cornell Freshmen. The score stood, Cornell, 17; Pennsylvania, 16, and there were just thirty-four seconds to play, when the referee called out, "Are you reddy, Gardiner?" and (though Bill objects to the title) Metzger raised the ball from the kick-off well down the field. Cornell's right half-back tried to handle the ball on the fly, but juggled it and was forced to fall upon it behind his own goal. No less than four of our men claim the distinction of having held him down till the referee arrived on the scene and called it a safety. Cornell didn't kick and the score stood 18-17 in our favor with some four seconds to play. In Sophomore year, George Childs was elected captain. We were minus the services of Boice, DeArmond, Block, Cochran, Ramsey, Gardiner and Lavino, but we had signed Flagler, Harned, West, Whit- more, McDevitt, Gillaspy, Smith, Owsley, etc., to fill their places. We incidentally surprised Craig Mitchell, Hedges and a few more of them; trouncing the Fresh by the score of 17-0. Our hopes for the champion- 152 ship were squelched by 1901 making a solitary touchdown, though Sol Metzger in impotent wrath kicked Crowther, Jr.'s noble nose and broke that facial adornment. In Junior year the schedule prevented our playing our 'Varsity men and though Kneedler, Brunker and Blystone came out for the occasion, 1902 triumphed over us in the dying gasp of their glory. In Senior year with R. Biddle-Smith for captain and the services of H. A. Gardner we had visions of the championship and began well by burying 1904 in the mud. During the operation we smeared con- siderable mud on other persons as well as on our own. There is no doubt that we should have won our last game had the team which played been the best 1903 could have put in the field, but it is difficult to impress 'Varsity men with the importance of class games and luck was against us. Brunker made a brilliant run in returning a punt, which was by long odds the feature of the game and considering the condition of the field was most remarkable. You notice we don't say why no touchdown resulted. Concerning the individual achievements of our classmates on the gridiron, Brunker, Smith and Gardner have won their Penn's on the "Scrub." Keller, Metzger and Gardiner have won the 'Varsity P, the two latter having been elected captains of 'Varsity teams. We have taken our hard knocks and had our fun. We have tried all the formations ever invented in football. Some of us may even remember the West Point style. We have played on green turf, frozen clay and three inches of mud. We have had bones broken and feelings hurt. We have lost and we have won. Our unwritten motto has been, "All for the class," and we have done our level best. There is no romantic glamour about class football games-hard knocks, little honor, and no girls; but those of us who have played together have learned a thing or two about men and mud, and have acquired a store of pleasurable reminiscences. NINETEEN-THREE'S record on the baseball field has been one to be proud of-they always are. We hunt up an urchin every year and pay him a quarter to be proud of us; which saves you, gentle reader, from the eulogies you had to read in 1902's Record, and still worse, in the one before that. Now you all know that "baseball is our national game," according to "Charlie" Folwell. Tn our Freshman year, the Athletic Association veiled the sky with its usual cardboard blankets alleging that a trip to Harvard and another to Ithaca would await any Freshman found capable of playing ball. So out we came on the day appointed-Pennypacker, the male Venus ; Lavino, the handsome man with the curly locks; Ramsey, the Cardiff giant; Irving, the glove with the boy; Brunker, the forerunner of Sunny Jim; and a squad of others as bad or worse- each protesting that he knew there were no goal-posts used in this game, for he had been out once to see the Phillies play. Charlie Folwell had been out for the 'Varsity, and as Coach Irwin had seen that he was no good he appointed him to coach us. We practiced faithfully every week or so until, one day, Folwell heard about the custom of having a captain. He arranged it that only members of the team could vote, and as he chose the team, of course he was elected captain. George Lavino was elected manager, and thinking that we ought to have at least one game before we played the Sophs, he arranged a trip to Ursinus. When we reached there, we found the 154 place was teeming with co-eds. We couldn't see the baseball against any such background as that, and the Ursinus boys, who are hardened to it, saved us the trouble of running up a score. "Tommy" Harned muffed everything he could get his hands on out in left field and was finally taken out of the game by the captain, a thing that Tommy's pride has never recovered from. Jack Westwood also tried to catch and what he held was not worth talking about. They all hit his glove, but it seemed to be made of some substance not made to hold baseballs. After this we practiced for the Sophs. The Harvard-Cornell placards we were collecting as curiosi- ties, as a farmer might try to buy the three little shells for keepsakes. The 'Varsity let us have Leary and Devlin for pitchers, and we looked for a walkover. It came, or we might better say, it went. Leary and Devlin essayed to show that their reputations would stand lots of knocking, and the sound resembled the discharge of a Gatling gun. Pennypacker, at second, saved his fielding average by not doing any meddling, and Ramsey, who had always looked small to us, proved to have abnormally developed feet. What he did pick up, Folwell pursued from first. The final score-but we dare not. The placards became painful to our eyes, and we burned them. In Sophomore year we found that George Lavino had gone to work, and that Folwell was ineli- gible ; but nothing daunted-for they were no better than the rest of us-we elected Pennypacker captain and set to work. We soon found that he had developed a "glass arm" picking peaches in Delaware, so we elected Harned captain and made "Penny" manager. He took us to Ursinus again, for the girls were worth the loss of a game. He took us to Norristown by rail and then to Collegeville by trolley, arranging deftly that we should miss our car and wait an hour in longing-and Norristown. When we did reach Ursinus, the walloping was worse than that of the year before-the co-eds more luscious. But "Packer" did more than this. He arranged a game for us with the Wilmington High School, his beloved "Alma Mater." Only the umpire and "Charlie" Folwell prevented our winning this game. "Charlie" gave up the idea of playing in the outfield and decided to try first base. He managed to stop a throw now and then, but he was always so surprised over the fact that he would spend five or ten minutes fumbling among his feet to find the ball, thus allowing ample time for the runner to reach first. We even thought that we could lick the Fresh, especially as we borrowed Leary from the 'Varsity to pitch; but alas, Al Brunker tried catching flies in his stomach instead of in his mouth, and we lost the game. But Tommy Harned broke the college record by getting five strike-outs and five damns out of five times at bat-which is something for us all to applaud. 155 When the time came round in Junior year, Frank Leary had decided to study law, and Tommy Harned said he would be-content to rest on his laurels of the previous year. So our problem then was, to find a team to support our pitcher and to find a pitcher for our team to support. Everyone that had ever played football or rowed in the crew was given a chance. "Tom" Doyle decided that he was quite clever in the box, and Irving, our manager (we trained him for the 'Varsity managership) took him out to Chelten- ham with a team that needed exercise and got it. Ramsey was captain; and seeing that we were in danger of winning, he put in a substitute team and averted the disaster. Our record was still unsullied. The next day we met the Seniors. Frank Kier, in a black unfinished worsted, stroked the starboard side of the diamond, and stroked it the wrong way. Slack stood at the other corner and sang high-ball songs from the glee club. Nobody took more than one base on a grounder knocked to Frank. Percy Brown played second as the English played it, and shared with Irving the odium of making a hit. Toward the end of the game it looked as if we might score. Somebody in the grandstand tried a "Rah-rah-ree!" but was promptly ejected and our record was made. The limit had been reached. Yet we have a game-a game-to play this year, and sometimes we can't help wondering. There is no way of scoring negative runs, as Hallett does in Algebra, and so how can we improve over last year's record? Frank Kier has been practicing for first base in the Evening Bulletin, and Doyle has suggested to "Pop" Hill that perhaps improvement might be made over his own twirling of last year. We feel cer- tain that there is a surprise in store for the class and for baseball scorers all over the land. In conclusion, we would apologize for boasting as we have of our prowess. We have never defaulted a game, never quit, never won, never done anything else of which to be ashamed, and we will allow no rival claims save those of the Mask and Wig for the title of 1903's chef d'oeuvre. FOUR short years ago the phrase "supremacy on the track" was coined by the Class of Nineteen-three. To-day it is embodied in the vocabulary of every undergraduate in the University of Pennsylvania. How to describe Nineteen-three's track team, for it alone is responsible for the new phrase, to those so unfortunate as to never have seen it perform is indeed a puzzle. Briefly, it was a conglomer- ation of "would-be's," "has-been's," "never-was's" and "never-will- be's." In fact it occupied among class track teams an absolutely unique position, and the measure of success which it achieved dur- ing its comparatively brief career, for it lasted but two years, is also unique in that it has never been equaled. In our Freshman year, without a single man of 'Varsity material, indeed with nothing but a reputation (?), we met and vanquished the Class of Nineteen-two, Bill Howell and his dog. Thanks to the dog. Nineteen-three as a class owes a debt of grati- tude to that dog which has never been publicly acknowledged and can never be properly paid. Be it said to the shame of Nineteen-two that, although he won second place in the quarter-mile, he was never 157 granted their class numerals, while several less worthy flaunt them in his very face and he never growls. Their only excuse is that he had a handicap of four feet. But upon Metzger's gratitude the dog's claims are the greatest. The score of points was very close and the meet depended upon the quarter-mile race. According to all previous records, the majority of points in this event should go to Nineteen-two and the outcome seemed but a matter of time. Some one bet Metzger that he couldn't run a quarter of a mile, so in a moment of pique Metz entered the event. "Right here fortune came our way in the shape of Howell's bulldog. The race was about half over when the dog caught sight of his master running around the track behind Metz, and, thinking he was chas- ing him, started in to help. It looked, for a moment, as if there wouldn't be enough of Nineteen-three's track team left to count the points; hut a miracle happened. All eyes were glued on Metzger as he rounded the last turn, closely pursued by the dog. There was a strained expression on his face as he dug his toes into the cinder path with a force due to desperation. The two people in the grandstands came to their feet as a man. The old flag at the west end tugged wildly at the ropes, while the pole creaked and groaned under the strain. Could he make it? Suddenly an inspiration seized the class; gathering quickly in a bunch they gave a frenzied Nineteen-three class yell with three "cats!" on the end. The dog hesitated and was lost. His momentary indecision gave Metzger his chance; with a wild spurt he crossed the line, a terror-stricken winner, and a member of the 'Varsity Track Team. (See statistics under his name in Record.) It was in these Freshman games that William Jones Smith (alias Mysterious Billy) made his first appearance and succeeded in taking eighteen points, when the judges weren't looking, winning first in both hurdles and in the high jump. Bickley ran in the low hurdles and would have won first place had he not stopped to straighten the hurdles after him. He had some trouble with the last one, stubbed his toe, fell down, and limped in third. It has been given out on good authority that Metzger and DeArmond were more interested in winning from each other than from their opponents and that, although Metzger finished second in the hundred, he claimed the first prize for having defeated DeArmond. DeArmond reversed the case in the two-twenty. These two men ran a series of four events, with the result that each won two of the races. The track authorities endeavored to arrange a special event for them at the Mott Haven games, but work prevented the two stars from competing. It was an odd sight to see little "Loui" Clark running in the two-mile race, with the class numerals, Clark's goal, dangling, in front of his face, from the end of a stick which was tied to his head. "Loui" did the impossible and beat his numerals out for fourth place. 158 In our Sophomore year we defeated Nineteen-four as expected; Metzger being protested as "too good" for winning too many points. William Jones Smith was again on hand and contributed a bunch of points, tieing for first in the high jump and second in the low hurdles and broad jump. Some of the girls in the stand, the majority of whom had come with Smith, thought he should have been awarded the first prize in both events. But Nineteen- four protested they were so dazzled by the brightness of Smith's red shirt that they were unable to see the bar (an odd thing for any college man and especially for Nineteen-four), so the judges ruled in their favor. DeArmond, the "busted Penn Charter phenom," could do no better than first and second in the two- twenty and hundred, respectively. In the two-twenty, Pulaski protested that, owing to DeArmond's per- sistency in keeping in front of him, he was unable to win the race. However, the judges after a long and windy debate, decided that as long as DeArmond was in front at the finish the race belonged to him. Our Junior year found but a few men on the track. The athletic authorities did their best to induce Metzger and DeArmond to again compete, and for a while it looked as if they would succeed; but after a con- ference with the Dean, Metz and DeArmond quietly withdrew. The Dean didn't want Nineteen-three to have all the honors. We had no contests as a team this year, but the medals came just the same. Brunker picked one up in a sprint race whenever the handicap was large enough, and Smith in the hurdles whenever the "field" was small enough. Galloway felt it his duty as an architect to become a quarter-miler, and Baird went up in the air to everyone's delight. Our doings in Senior year were just about as harmless. No 'Varsity P's have come our way; no time- keepers have hesitated to announce our records. But we have "done the duty that lay nearest to us." As Freshmen we walloped the Sophs, and as Sophs we walloped the Fresh. And what more could we have brought to Nineteen-three than a walloping average of 1,000 for our college career? Let the class vote us all Morris chairs, and we will retire. 1 9 ° % DAAICE^ IT is with great fear and trembling that I take my quill in hand to try to rival the illustrious verbalism of the class which has just gone before us. Some say this class had no strong points. Let these sceptics but look over the Record of the Class of 1902 and they will be convinced that Naughty-two stands supreme, unrivaled in the art of exaggeration (not to speak too plainly). But be all this as it may, the Class of 1903 has had an unrivaled career in the whirl of gay society, and has set an example always to be admired, never to be equaled. On the night of Wednesday, December 19, 1900, the Houston Club was a veritable bee-hive of Philadelphia maidenhood, who, as soon as they arrived, clustered around the envied members of the committee and refused to dance with any but the elite. This made Metzger, who some of our readers may remember was then president of the class, so sad that after a momen- tary and vain effort to control his emotion he clambered up among the palms around the orchestra and pleaded with the girls to remember that he was president of the class and that, had it not been for his appointing it, the committee could never have existed. These few appropriate words had a most marvelous effect. After this he was not only the most popular man in the room, but even Wetherill, who, thanks to Metz's indifference to the suc- cess of the dance, had been appointed chairman, could not persuade one of the fairies to dance with him. After a time things took their normal course again and after "Sentimental Louis" gave up his monopoly of his pet corner of the Trophy Room, Eddy Beale suddenly realized that he would have to hurry home to breakfast, and thus the ball stopped rolling. The committe found the business so profitable that next year our graceful Eisenbrey, "of small and dainty feet," was besieged with offered bribes if he would appoint the old Sophomore committee to run the Junior "Ball." This he flatly refused to do, and a far inferior committee was appointed, this latter's only redeeming feature being that "Sentimental 160 Louis" was macle chairman. This gave him a much-desired opportunity to avoid having to dance with all the ladies at once, as he continually repulsed the disappointed ones with the statement that he must go below and count the dough. But on to the one great event in the history of the University, of which, gentle reader, we need hardly remind you, "The Ivy Ball." The social prestige of the class having, by this time, been thoroughly estab- lished, it only remained for our athlete and boy-wonder, Hildebrand, to appoint Jack Frazer chairman and the unprecedented success of the ball was assured. In time the eventful day came round, at five in the afternoon there was not a carriage disengaged. A special detail of policemen was sent to Horticultural Hall to protect the committeemen from the reporters, but when they got there the whole committee had disappeared and taken refuge in the bar of the "Walton" just across the street. Here a reporter later found our pious Tupper steering his battered ship from off the dangerous bar! One of the principal, and in fact the only drawback to the illustrious occasion was that "Mike" Eisenbrey insisted on walking around the floor, he called it dancing, with his lady friend balancing on his broad expanse of shoe leather. This, while interesting the spectators greatly, made it impossible for more than four other couples to be on the floor at the same time. On the whole, Nineteen Hundred and Three has done more than any other class toward giving its dance committees good food, good dances, good times and "pin money" to burn, for which all the bills were cheerfully and promptly paid by the ever-generous ladies of Philadelphia who "merely allow us to use their names as patronesses." 5LS ABOUT the middle of Freshman year our honored president, William G. Gardiner, being reminded that it was "up to him" to appoint a banquet committee, after long deliberation decided upon the follow- ing men to take charge of the affair: Godshalk (better known as "Goddy"), Ellis Ramsey, Price Wetherill, "Blink" Flagler, Boice, "Al" Brunker and "Tommy" Harned, chairman. Numerous meetings were held at the house of Price Wetherill, concerning which the greatest secrecy was observed. We came to the house one by one, keeping our "weather eye" out for any Sopho- mores. After the entire committee had assembled (we all attended the meetings this year-not knowing any better), the first thing on the pro- gramme was an hour's pool-playing, then followed a ten-minute meeting, after which "Tommy" Harned remained behind several hours consuming liquid refreshments "on" the Wetherill family. After much discussion and argument, we persuaded "Tommy" to give us a menu having some little solid food between the liquid parts, and we decided upon a date directly following the Christmas vacation, thus giving us a chance to make all our arrangements with the least chance of the affair reaching the ears of the one or two wide-awake men in 1902. Boothby's was chosen from a large list of competitors, and, by careful use of a rear entrance and the great watchfulness of Charles Percy Swayne, we managed to collect there without the loss of a single man. "Tommy," as chairman, had been unable to find a man good enough to suit him for toastmaster, so, with all due modesty, he assumed the position himself. After the regular "toasts" were over, every man in the room was called upon for a speech, we "got together" around the piano and sang the few College songs we 162 then knew, and last of all, Freshman like, paraded out to College and made a big noise to show everyone what big men we really were. In Sophomore year Frank Tupper was chosen chairman of the committee and the Lafayette was honored by our choice. "Mike" Eisenbrey was requested to act as toastmaster and "toasts" were responded to by our class team captains, Barrows on "Ladies" and "Avery" Dravo on his pets, "The Freshmen." Charlie Folwell gave us a hair-raising speech on "Our National Game of Baseball," during which the class could with the greatest difficulty suppress its emotion. Again, after the regular toasts, the majority of the class were asked to say a few words, and the usual array of agonizing efforts completed the success of the evening. Junior year is recognized by all classes as an off year. Brunker was appointed chairman of the com- mittee and, to assist him in the difficult task of making the affair a "howling" success, a committee consist- ing of all the notorious "loafers" in the class was appointed. "The Stratford" was selected, and, unable to stand such success, went out of the business immediately after our banquet was over. Sol Metzger, as toastmaster, kept things "moving" throughout the evening and toasts were responded to by "Mike" Eisen- brey on "The Class," Tupper "The Crew," Harned threw compliments and blessings at our baseball team, McDevitt reviewed the football season and "Tom" Cope told us about "Our Alma Mater." Our Senior banquet we determined to make the "best ever," as it was to be our last chance to shine upon such an occasion. "Bill" Hughes, henchman of our noble president, was rewarded for his labors by being appointed chairman, and the committee decided to allow Tupper to do some more talking and appointed him toastmaster. About eight-thirty o'clock we had all assembled at the "Flanders," and, pre- ceded by the Faculty, filed into the banquet room. From time to time numerous members went down stairs to discover the score of the Penn-Columbia baseball game, and we were all in a very happy mood when "Tup" arose to introduce Provost Harrison by a few pert remarks, for which he was "slapped" several times by that honorable gentleman during his speech on the politics of Pennsylvania as they influenced the Uni- versity. He was followed by Vice-Provost Edgar F. Smith, Dean Josiah H. Penniman, Professor Felix E. Schelling and Doctor William E. Lingelbach, all of whom gave speeches of the most interesting and enter- taining character. Hildebrand then spoke on "Our Illustrious Class," and it was impossible to select any one else in the class for the toast, "When we were Fresh," than Russel Biddle-Smith. Sol Metzger and "Bill" Gardiner responded to "In Togs on the Gridiron" and "A Glimpse from the Shell," while Wetherill failed to appear at the banquet to respond to his toast, "The Ladies, by One Who Knows." 163 After the Faculty had withdrawn, we all bunched up together and heard speeches from a number of men in the class, thus ending our last banquet together as undergraduates. There is no part of our College life that, in after years, will be remembered with more real pleasure than our class banquets. They were full of life and interest and, more than any other way, show the feel- ing of real good fellowship and consideration for each other's ideas that have made the past four years so pleasant to each and every one of us. WHEN College opened in the fall of 1900 there appeared on and about the campus an assignment of "fish" which was undoubtedly "just out of the water." Exactly how it came to be where it was and how it got there no one, as yet, has assumed the responsibility of explaining. There it was, however, and as prompt attention had necessarily to be given, the unwelcome and thankless task was detailed to the Class of 1903. It was found, upon closer investigation, that the assignment consisted of young fellows with exceedingly youthful faces and extraordinarily developed chests and heads, in some more so than in others, and to make this top- loftical crowd realize that their place was subservient to that of the other classes was what 1903 did in a most thorough and shipshape fashion. No set of formulated rules was adopted, each case receiving special and individual attention, to administer which it became necessary for us to make calls upon the subjects in their dormitory rooms. Usually, in their anxiety to play the perfect host, they promptly opened their doors and invited us to enter, upon our making known our desire for the same. After we were comfortably seated we proposed to be amused and have the host do it. "Legs" Irving, who always appropriated the softest seat in the place, invariably insisted upon playing "the little game of 'hotair' " as invented by "Legs," and as the Fresh had as much fun out of this as he had out of any other, everybody was agreeable. This form of amusement, not being exactly what the hitherto dignified Fresh most appreciated, called forth a protest from the victim, in language, while not as strong as it might be, 165 was a little too strenuous for ultra polite society, and right here is where "Al" Brunker promptly came to the front. As soon as "Al" heard any- thing stronger than Fudge, he would make a dive for the wash-stand and selecting a couple of speci- mens, from an assortment of half a dozen different kinds of soap, would present the same to the Fresh for mastication. No promise of future abstinence from bad language would satisfy "Brunk"; the soap had to be eaten and the mouth thoroughly scrubbed, or the show did not proceed. If Mr. Fresh hesitated, as he usually did, de Schweinitz, "Schweippes" for short, proceeded to make con- nections between a small piece of soft soap he always carried and Fresh anatomy. This settled all further hesitation, but not "Schweippes," who once having put in his oar, kept it there for the rest of the evening. His favorite stunt was to have the amusement producer make love to a poster, all kinds of which were always handy, and to hear that Dutchman coach the Fresh in soft speeches was a treat in itself. "Legs" said he had undeniable evidence that "Schweippes" had been taught the art by one of the young ladies from the Broad Street Theatre. Now and then we ran across a Colonel or a Major, from some unheard-of military academy, who had his commission tacked up on the most prominent place on the wall. When this happened, Dravo, who had earned the title of Colonel by his seeming knowl- edge of military tactics, was at once called into service, and the way he would put that.Fresh through the 166 setting-up exercises and the manual, toothpicks being used as guns, was something to make the victim walk straight for a month and swear that his commission could retire for a year. "Tup," our little coxswain, said that the sooner the Ward stroke was instilled in a Freshman the sooner he would be on the 'Varsity crew. Believing this and thinking himself about as able as anyone to coach a Freshman on how to row, he would call for a wash-basin and a couple of matches, then seating the Freshman in the basin and giving him the matches for oars, would coach until the rest of the crowd left. "Tup" never remained behind to continue the lesson. "Tommy" Harned's favorite amusement was to show Freshmen how to write all the news home to papa and make a small call for funds which could not be resisted. The following is one of the results of "Tommy's" able coaching: "31 Bodine. "Dear Pa.-I am a poor little Fresh from the city. I am having a hot time. I tried to put up posters last night, now I am under the bed with a mouth full of soap. I went up to a Sophomore's room. He offered to fight, and I dug out. Please increase my allowance from ten cents to twelve cents a month, as I am leading a sporting life. I carry matches often, and I am getting naughty. I certainly am tired of being 'Fresh.' I just asked for a drink of water, and Fil get milk. Hoping you will sympathize in my present ignorance. Please send me that twelve cents soon. I remain, "Your loving little son, "December 21, 1900, 1.10 A. M. "Winifred W. C ." The class found that there were a great many very fresh specimens that only put in an appearance during college hours which had to be attended to when the opportunity offered itself. One of these, who possessed a rotund appearance and nice rosy cheeks, was busily engaged one afternoon about six o'clock in pursuing a course he had elected in the Houston Club billiard rooms. It suddenly struck little "Billy" Paul that here was just what was needed to wipe a little of the dampness from the sidewalks leading to Franklin Field, where the wiper could get busy scratching off posters. Accordingly, "Billy" unfolded his plot to de Schweinitz, "Pete" Childs, McGinnis and Dravo, all of whom heartily agreed with him. About this time Mr. Rosy-Cheeks went out to the office to pay Clime tuition for another half-hour course, when he was approached by "Billy's" committee with a proposition to go down and scratch off posters from Franklin Field fences. The proposition not being accepted with the greatest avidity the "committee" pro- ceeded to slide the candidate down towards the Field. Fortunately the pavements were soaking wet and 167 the Freshman nice and round, so, despite his struggles, he arrived at the Harrison Lab. in very short order. Here he gave such a fine imitation (afterwards discovered) of fainting that it took two quarts of water applied to the back of his neck to revive him. At this point that august representative of the S. P. C. C. and the Faculty, the "Yard Cop," intervened, as he said, for humanity's sake, which deprived the Fresh of further tobogganing, much to his regret. The day on which the annual football game between the lower classes was scheduled, the process of reduction of inflated craniums was carried on on the wholesale plan. When the hour set for the game arrived, the field was in such a soggy condition that play was prohibited. Everywhere there were large pools of black, muddy water and when it was announced that there would be no game the reduction process commenced. In one place Dravo and de Schweinitz were busily removing Fresh from one side of the fence in front of the stands to the other, where there was a particularly large pool of collected rain. All candidates lit on their backs. In another place Hepburn was dealing out severe cuffs to four or five Fresh who were deter- mined to deprive him of his sweater, "Kid" Slack found somebody his size and immediately proceeded to divest him of the greater part of his raiment, even lazy "Beau" Kier managed to muster up enough energy to bump a few heads. And so it went on until the task assigned to us had been thoroughly and completely accomplished, and as evidence of our good work we have only to refer you to the present class which succeeds us in June. O1SMM THE Class of 1903 thinks that it has several just reasons to be proud of itself. First, its sons knew the Dean better than any class in years. Now let it be known that in the ordinary course of one's College life, one only gets a personal knowledge of the Dean when he is in dire trouble and is so hard put to it that he can think of no better way to end his misery, or (and this is the more usual way of making the acquaintance of the man, who styles himself our brotherly advisor) when the Dean sends for us to get us into trouble. So you see, in a general way, the word "Dean" is equivalent to "trouble," and to the Classes of 1902 and 1904 the words "trouble" and "1903" meant pretty much one and the same thing. As to our relations with these two obnoxious classes, had I a thou- sand such feeble tongues as my own, I could not worthily sing of the glorious victories and triumphs of our class. A whole Record could be written of our mighty deeds and still leave much unsaid. Who will ever forget that first Tuesday afternoon of our College life, when we gathered in the class-room and were given instructions by a couple of the Juniors for our first conflict with the Sophs. Then, for the first time, we became organized as a class and chose as our leader the auburn- haired Gardiner. Assisted by the doughty Metzger, the implacable Whit- more and the sturdy McDevitt, he led us to the end of the lower hall, where 169 we faced our foes for the first time. Not only were we able to withstand the onslaughts of our so-called superiors, but we could easily have done more, but owing to a long-established precedent at the University we were warned not to win, and respecting an old custom we were forced to make our first fight a draw. Time fails to tell of the numberless encounters of that fall, of how the Sophomores came to break up our first class-meeting and how thereafter we rushed them up and down the hall for an hour, until in sheer exhaustion they cried "enough." After weeks of endless scrimmages, they saw that nothing but dis- credit ever came from meddling with us, and wisely decided to let us alone. Then the time for the bowl fight came around, and "Dave" Kneedler was made the bowlman. We have heard a great deal of hot air about how Barnes, of 1902, would have kept Kneedler from getting over the fence if Dave had not received outside assistance. But according to bystanders who saw it, Barnes got in front of Kneedler, but Dave in his rage breathed hotly on Barnes and leaped the fence unimpeded. In the second half of this fight, ever mindful of custom, we were forced to allow the Sophomores to win. Of course the Pennsylvanian came out next day with large headlines, "The Fiercest Fight in Years," but this was done in order to sell the paper to the combatants. Now in the Class of 1902 there was a man, Carol E. Schaeffer by name, considered by many a great swimmer, by himself a wonder. His chief aim in life seemed to be to impress upon the Fresh just how impor- tant he was. But one day his bubble burst. This was on the occasion of the color fight. All the Freshmen wore red and blue ties to College, and as this was contrary to the mandates of the Sophomores they took it upon themselves to divest the Freshmen of them. Schaeffer's shapely form loomed up very prominently among the fighters. But someone suggested that the boy-wonder be set upon. Thus was the mighty Carol deprived of all his outer garments and compelled to go home in a barrel. A subscription list was started in order to repair his shattered wardrobe. In the fall of Sophomore year we went through the preliminary fights, the hall rush and the corner fights in true Sophomore style, losing the former and winning the latter. But our chief achievement was the perfect organization of a hazing system which has never been equaled. Some of the names might be disclosed, but the Dean and his syndicate, the Faculty Committee, are so bitter against the act that our diplomas might be withheld even at this late date. But it was a case of the Class of 1903 versus Taggart, Singer and the Dean's syndicate assisted by Detective "Cap." The cat-like Taggart succeeded in catching two of our members who were subjected to several "heart-to-hearts" with the Dean and a two-weeks leave from College. 170 A few fights of smaller nature were introduced by way of diversion, such as the fight before the Fresh-Soph football game and the fight on the steps of the Library. In the former Craig Mitchell, the giant guard of 1904's team, came from the grandstand amid the mighty applause of admiring lady friends only to be torn to pieces by the irrepressible Sophomores. In the second, Metzger was the star. He figured in a foot race and a fight. As the time for the bowl fight drew around a great deal of interest was evinced in the prospective bowlman. 1904 possessed twins, Diefendorf by name. They decided on one of them (which one, no one knows) for their bowlman. But someone of woman's temperament gave away the secret and one of the brothers was carried away and kept in confinement until the fight was over. Thus a very ingenious scheme was spoiled. The fight was very much the same as of yore, the first half going to the Freshmen and the second to our class. There were the usual fights on the side, one of which William Otto Miller figured in or rather disfigured in to a great extent. There were the usual torn clothes, naked youths and accidents of the bowl fights of old. This fight just about ended our fighting career. We are satisfied and pleased and certainly feel that the old adage of George Ade might be applied to us: "If you want a trial of speed, get a pacemaker/' 1903. ABOUT the middle of May, 1901, the whole of our college world was thrown into a whirl of excitement by the display of a poster announcing that there was soon to be given on Franklin Field one of the most stupendous undertakings for years. It was an undertak- ing because it was the Sophomore Cremation-it was stupendous because the Class of 1903 was giving it. Expectation was raised to fever heat and the anticipation of so much pleasure caused the upper-classmen to forget their studies. At last the day came-June 1, 1901. The advance sale was overwhelming, reach- ing to the number of 1,421 reserved seats. When the committee, consist- ing of Charlie Dravo, "Al" Brunker, Fred Eckfeldt, "Scotty" de Armond, Price Wetherill, Frank Tupper and "Mike" Eisenbrey, chairman, reached the field they found a line extending from the gate to Walnut street. But the crowd could not be held back. Unable to restrain themselves the line broke and climbed the fence. This is merely a small detail to show the anxiety of the crowd to get a seat to witness the production. At last, with a furious beating of drums and blaring of horns, the class entered, led by the Municipal Band. Roman candles, sky-rockets and red lights made such a hit that the people in the grandstand howled for very joy. The class were attired in the most magnificent costumes, some of which had been stolen by supes at the Grand Opera, the rest of which had been designed for the occasion by the Casino Opera Company. After a short delay the play started. The plot was simple and needs no explanation. The only thing to mar the whole affair was that the best and wittiest parts of the dialogue were drowned by the storm of applause with which the audience greeted each new spectacular effect or pleasing novelty. At last every one could see the crisis approaching. A miserable wreck of a man was dragged on the stage. As Arthur Hobson Quinn was recognized there was a silence. People were thinking things they SOPHOMORE CREMATION WTcIVNEKOl TICKETS OH SALE, HOVSTOH CLVE 172 should not say. In short, the trial was decided against Quinn, alias Hobson, in spite of his plea for clem- ency, on the ground of his "Pennsylvania Stories." This was the last straw. The judges had hoped to forget them, but here in the most solemn moment they were remembered. This overcame them and the sen- tence was to be "hanged by the neck until dead. Over a roasting fire" By a clever innovation the live Quinn was changed for a perfect effigy, without the crowd realizing it. The figure was taken to a huge bonfire thirty-one feet high and valued at $3.00 (the class had money to burn). The effect was so realistic that the women covered their faces with their hands and even strong men wept silent tears and restrained inward sobs. The black cap was drawn. The figure dropped through the trap and as the fire gathered headway and the flames shot upward the fiends of 1903 danced around with blood-congealing yells, which, mingled with the moans of the women, caused a most weird effect. At last the flames sank and only glowing embers remained. As the audience gazed on the grim spectacle of a figure hanged by the neck, there was an awful stillness. The class filed out followed by the committee. But still the audience sat, gazed and wondered. They were satisfied by the production, but wished to be satiated by the orgy. One by one they silently left, wend- ing their way home to sleep and dream of horrors of the XVI Century. An hour later there was no sound. Franklin Field was deserted. 173 CAST OF THE GREEK PLAY. ON the evenings of the twenty-eighth and twenty-ninth of April, in the year of our • Lord one thousand nine hundred and three, the loyal sons of Penn were stirred to their very depths with the thoughts of the renown the men of 1903 had already won for the University of Pennsylvania, and with the expectations of the greatest glory they were yet to present to their noble institution, by their achievements in Dra- matic Art; while the world at large was still suf- fering from that strenuous excitement caused by their admiration for, and their hopes for the brilliant results of, this coming event. For the master minds from all parts of the country were witnessing in the Academy of Music the wonder- ful and massive production, in Greek, of Euripides' greatest play, "Iphigenia Among the Taurians." Who can deny that this glory was won by the greatest wonder of the twentieth century-the Class of 1903? There may be some among our readers, even in the Faculty, who will question our claims, but when we have told you the whole story, in which is the truth and nothing but the truth, it will be quite evident who has done the work. And for our veracity we refer you to the Punch Bowl, who will gladly give you the desired information. The Academy was well filled with an appreciative audience at both representations. Many in the audiences were representatives of the IPHIGENIA AMONG THE TAURIANS UNIVERSITY OF PENNSYLVANIA 175 Greek Departments of the colleges from all over the country; others were laymen as regards Greek, but per- sons interested from various motives, all curious to see what sort of music, if any, there may have been in that much-talked-of ancient tongue. All went away charmed and enthusiastic; whether their expectations had been verified or not, the beauty of the scene, the vivacity of the acting under the direction of Dr. Lam- berton, and the exquisite music, written for the occasion by Dr. Clarke, took all captive. Every actor was at his best and even the chorus, the innocent amusement of Dr. Clarke's idle moments and the dream of fancy of Mr. Elwood Carpenter's busy hours, sang and danced with such expression and beauty, that those, yes, especially those, who understood not a word of Greek had to confess the play was an entire success. And it was a success, the greatest the University has ever achieved; so much so that it brought tears to the eyes of the sympathetic audience, when it happened to think what a loss the University would have to sus- tain, when the Class of 1903 should leave its halls. Of course you are saying that you have heard all this before. So you have. And you want to hear about some of the hitherto unpublished and no doubt most important facts ( ?) about the men behind the scenes. And these you shall certainly hear. No one knows exactly how it all came about, but apparently it was "Pomp" who suggested to the Greek Department of our Alma Mater, the idea of giving a Greek play. It wasn't Pomp's Grecian descent which prompted this suggestion, but one of those highly-colored ideas belonging only to him, which, when expressed to the proper University official, proved seed sown in good soil, and brought forth fruits meet for the forgiveness of the suggestion. You see it was this way. The costumes that had been in use by the actors who presented the "Acharnians" of Aristophanes about seventeen years ago, were carefully stored away on the third floor of College Hall. Now Pomp, who knew more about ancient Greek costume than any other professor in the University (we take the liberty of saying this, for he has often given Dr. Bates valuable information on that subject, as he has given all professors information on all subjects), got tired of seeing the old boxes sitting unused for so many years. So he started a rumor that the U. of P. had better give another play and use up some of its old stuff. "What's more," said he, "the Class of 1903 is soon going to git out of here, and if you want any kind of a respectable show, you had better let them fellers run it." The Greek Department realized the truth of this last statement, and it wasn't long before we heard bubbles abroad to the effect that there would certainly be a Greek play given next year. But before any play had been selected, Deacon Yerkes ventured to suggest to Dr. Lamberton that he thought the "Hip- 176 polytus" of Euripides was about as good a play as could be chosen, for he felt sure he could take the hero's part very well, and on the spot he displayed his dramatic ability by mounting a chair where he could be conveniently seen, and gesticulating in a most enthusiastic manner. He came away from room 214 that day with a god-like smile upon his serene countenance, fully confident that he was to take the role of Hip- polytus. When some few weeks later it gradually became known that "Iphigenia Among the Taurians" was to be presented, and that Slack and Miller were to take the leading parts, the Deacon was glad to go way back and sit down, since he declined to be ranked among the masses. The class meanwhile had held an extra meeting and had decided not to wear the old high tragic boot of the Greeks, and where would the Deacon be without them? The Record Committee requests that you do not tell anyone this secret, lest it come to the ears of papa or mamma, or even those of Ecclesia, whose feelings we would not hurt for all the world. Meanwhile things progressed. The cast having been chosen after several trials, the men set to work at once to memorize their lines. Active rehearsals were held from time to time, increasing in number and interest and quality until the play came off. I have already said the leading part was taken by Slack. Just how Slack got his role is not exactly known. Some say it was because of his rare musical talent, since the actors had to sing as well as the chorus (or better if possible). But none seem to have fathomed the true cause of Frankie's appointment. Have you ever seen Frankie retire for the night? Well, now, if you had, you would certainly agree with me in saying that it was all due to his beautiful and enticing feminine figure. Those shapely curves, outlining a body of remarkable grace, and that glorious face, beaming with ever placid smiles and crested with a mass of golden locks; and to crown it all, that benign expression on little Iphie's face, would certainly have brought peanuts from the gallery, even if the heroine had trampled upon her own train and tumbled over the footlights. It would have looked selfish on our part, if 1903 had taken all the places in the cast. So out of con- sideration we asked the Greek Department to pick out three good men from the Class of 1904, and we gave them some minor parts. It was very kind in Dr. Lamberton and Dr. Bates to do this, for otherwise we should have had a difficult task set us, hunting for good men in the Junior Class. However, the choice was fairly good. Bill Miller had some experience in that little affair known as the Mask and Wig. So he didn't make such a bad addition to the Greek cast when supported by Robins and Burns. We don't ask who Bill's 177 girl is. But how thankful we are for Bill, she wasn't at any of our rehearsals, to see those bear-like embraces of Iphigenia. Why, poor Iphie's ribs we.e dislocated on more than one occasion. The remaining places on the cast were filled bj '03 men. McClelland took the part of Athena and twenty-seven feet in the air declaimed his speech in to .es which caused strange remarks to flit about the gallery to the effect, "I wonder if she is a woman?" Moore, who took the part of Pylades, had an e :cellent chance to display his oratorical abilities and did it well. He was severely handicapped, however, b ?cause he was called Pill-la-des instead of Pie-la- des by his fellow-actors, upon the suggestion of Prof. Gibbons, whose new system of pronunciation is grad- ually becoming adopted by classical wits. Stallman, who took the part of King Thoas, invited all his country friends to see him make his debut. He took advantage of his opportunity to be king, as he never expected to be so near royalty again. It is with regret that we noted the absence of some of his friends from the performances, owing to the information published by a freethinker, that, since Thoas was a barbarian king, he would appear before the footlights in flesh-colored tights. We don't wonder in the least that they stayed away. Of course it goes without saying that '03 men led the chorus. The reason it was composed mostly of under-class men, is because they were the only ones who didn't have anything else to do. But they per- formed nobly, assisted by the Orpheus Club of Philadelphia, whose talent was very gratefully accepted. The only trouble they had in singing, was to refrain from breaking into "Hail! Pennsylvania!" whenever Dr. Smith appeared on the scene. They were well prepared to join in singing the grand old hymn, should the Vice-Provost ask them for it at the end of the play, but he didn't do it, much to the disappointment of all. Well, it was a success and we are all glad of it. "We are all good fellows," one of our instructors used to say, and what we have done, we have done not for ourselves, but for the honor and glory of Penn- sylvania, which is so dear to us all. To the public, to the trustees and officials of the University, to those we have mentioned as being closely connected with the play in its preparation, and finally to the students and Class of 1903 belongs the glory thus won. 178 LITTLE did the Mask and Wig authorities dream of the unprecedented prosperity and fame they would enjoy due to 1903, when we modestly wended our way one afternoon in the fall of 1899 to the threshold of No. 310 Quince street to answer the preliminary chorus call of that organi- zation. The play that year was "Ba, Baa, Black Sheep," a name, the modesty of which could only be exceeded by that of our- selves. Though our histrionic ability was appreciated by all with whom we came into contact, it was due to the fact that we were Freshmen that we had but one man to represent us, but, perhaps, when we consider the perfection with which our candi- date performed the intricate steps and gestures, we cannot but be satisfied. Lippincott was the lucky one upon whom the honor of representing us was bestowed. He was transformed by a little rouge and lingerie into a frivolous, frolicsome French bit of femininity. Whenever he was on the stage all the six-inch batteries of opera glasses were trained upon his dainty form and smiling countenance. All of us who saw him will never forget the credit he did the class by his "stunts." Inspired by our hit of the previous success, the next year saw four more of our sturdy sons respond to the notice for 179 MASK AND WIG CAST-"SIR ROBINSON CRUSOE." candidates for "Mr. Aguinaldo of Manila." That year Bill Hughes, Emmot Caldwell, "Skinny" Chamberlain, our Moorestown lily, and "Bill" Paul went down to perform Delsartian movements. "Bill" Paul, however, became too zealous and put the Mask and Wig ahead of his College work, which Marburg told him was a "very wrong thing to do," and four days before the dress rehearsal the combined efforts of Marburg and "Pop" Spangler kept Bill from going in the show. Still the other three toiled and labored at the rehearsals till they got into excellent shape for the ten days of the show. The first night of the play revealed to us that 1903 was still in the foreground, for when Bill Hughes, dressed up in a "dream" of a mauve dress, blonde wig, and a saucy little beauty-spot on her cheek, appeared on the stage, it was the signal for a tremendous outburst of applause that made the building fairly quake. Her sparkling vivacity and grace took all by storm. General silence prevailed in the house till Emmot Caldwell rushed forth from the scenes arrayed in the identical football togs he had worn in the Harvard-Penn game the previous fall. Here it was that those in the assembled throng who had not noticed the breadth of his shoulders and fine build generally on Frank- lin Field, could gaze upon him in the glare of the calcium lights from which he refused to move. Now they could really see this fine athlete and admire his remarkable stature. He had on his 'Varsity sweater, which proclaimed to the ignorant his athletic mettle. The next treat on the program was the appearance of Skinny Chamberlain, our six-foot-four wonder, and the only man in the class who could wear a collar over three inches and a half in height. He appeared as one of the guard of General de Bility, and Skinny's thoroughly military tenure and maneuvres won for him a soft spot in the hearts of his many lady friends present at each and every performance. Such was the representation of our class in 1901. The following year, having attained the dignity of Juniors, "Old King Cole" claimed our attention. That year we had but two to uphold the reputation we had established in the two preceding years-Mun- son, a distinct brunette, and Frazer, an exponent of the other type. In the first act Munson was one of the daring, dashing vivandieres at the court of Old King Cole, while "Pip" was a courtier, arrayed in a striking green coat and knee pants, yellow stockings, and a plumed hat. The second act saw Munson in a wonderful yellow creation with a hat to match-a flower girl-and such a one, too! Frazer here appeared as a nifty, nondescript nautical yachtsman and strutted about the stage like a veteran. Afterwards he appeared in the "Columbia ballet," lightly clad in a running shirt and rowing trousers, displaying his beautiful build. The Southern trip was uneventful as far as 1903 was concerned, save for the good example in behavior set by our representatives. 181 The climax to our Mask and Wig career came, as might well be expected, in our Senior year, when the knowledge and learning we had acquired in our four years of College life served us to great advantage. With the utmost dignity, as became Seniors, we sauntered down to the Club House on Quince street in the bleak days of February and March to prepare for the arduous intricacies of "Sir Robinson Crusoe." Coates, Kneedler, Munson and Frazer signed articles with the club and the game was on. We attended rehearsals promptly and regularly-except Vernon Coates, who said to Charley Morgan that he considered it rather more than should be expected of a Senior-especially for one who had so much to do as himself. However, all difficulties were straightened out, and after many hours of toil and inconvenience we finally rounded into shape. Munson's hit of the previous year as a soubrette landed him again in the girls' chorus, but the rest of us were trained for strenuous life on the briny deep, as old tars. The success of "Sir Robinson Crusoe" was a certainty from the very rise of the curtain in the first act at the dress rehearsal, when the presence of our trio of old salts brought forth from the audience a roar of applause. Behold Coates, Kneedler and Frazer in blue bell-shaped sailor's pants (not trousers, this time), and white canvas jackets, sailors' collars and hats, leaning over the rail looking ahead abaft the starboard beam, trying to sight the nearest saloon on the horizon! When the "girls" appeared upon the scene, Munson as usual charmed the audience by his coquet- tish ways and smiles. Everything went beautifully! Coates had every now and then a tendency to go "across the way" to get a cup of Dennett's surpassing coffee to keep him up to the mark. To show our versatility, in the second act, we appeared in various guises. Munson was the centre of attraction, on the rise of the curtain, as a bewitching gold girl, brandishing a real golf club about his head, and trying to make everyone believe he was the real thing-Nineteen-three despises imitations. The "men" appeared first as automobilists with long red coats and white oil-cloth caps with a huge red pompon, which reminded everybody more or less-about one-third-of a pawnbroker's sign. They were next transformed into coons and executed a wonderful bunch of pedestrial contortions in "My Merry Maisie." Coates came up strong in this and per- formed his steps with an air of "a-bun-on." Munson next appeared in a dress of immaculate white in "The Pale Moonlight," which brought out his talent not only for singing and dancing, but also for a far greater accomplishment-whistling. The "Cafe Dance" brought in Coates, Kneedler and Frazer, in an entirely new role, i. e., waiters. Their work consisted of bringing in tables, chairs, etc., but far more important than this, serving drinks to the saucy "soubrettes Parisiennes" and beaux. The features of this part of the performance were "Ver- 182 non's" very French gesticulations, "Dave's" propensity for getting out of step on all possible occasions, and what somebody described as "Pip's" smile that won't come off. Taking it all in all, it is plain that without Nineteen-three the Mask and Wig could never have won the success its last four shows have given it. It must be noticed here that we always cast our lots in favor of the chorus. President McMichael's speech at the Saturday night performances for the last four years has each time made it clear that "this year the chorus has been better than ever before," thus officially announcing the benefit conferred on the club by the class of Nineteen-three. 183 (DM® THE fact that Nineteen Hundred and Three did not figure in the plays of the Cercle till Sophomore year is due, not as some cruel-hearted and narrow-minded people think, to the fact that we had not the ability; on the contrary, it is because of that genuine altruistic spirit in our class which ever prompted us not to push ourselves forward, but rather to allow an inferior standard of histrionic talent to be presented and to applaud it, rather than open the eyes of those who directed the production of "Le Medecin Malgre Lui." This retiring spirit of ours, together with the lack of any men from our class in the play, only formed a greater contrast in the merits of the plays in 1900 and 1901. This year the success of the play was for the first time assured and afterwards realized, due to the presence of one who executed with that rare Germantown pronunciation Moliere's con- ception of "Le Bourgeois Gentilhomme." It is, of course, need- less to say that we refer to the one and only James J. Lindsay. At the rehearsals for this production, Jim aroused the envy of everybody concerned, including the coaches, by the way he "got off" his lines. At times M. Vurpillot would put down his book for a moment and exclaim with enthusiastic gestures, "Vraiment, 184 c'est merveilleux!" This wonderful acquisition to the ranks of the actors inspired everyone and assured a great success. On the night of the performance every seat in the Century Drawing Room was taken and the cream of Philadelphia society present with the flower of its feminine beauty. The time drew near, the orches- tra played, the three taps sounded, and the curtain rose. The play progressed, but it could be plainly seen that the audience was not yet satisfied. This discontent prevailed for some time, but was finally dissipated when in a highly tragic scene a page strutted in amid the thundering acclaim of the onlookers. Jim had at last arrived! All were now happy. The Coquelin of Germantown took his honors meekly and merely smiled, with an occasional nod to his many lady friends who had managed to secure the first two rows of the "par- quet." His charming grace and exquisite pronunciation, together with his stunning appearance in a buff costume, silk stockings and a wig, won for him well-merited applause. Jim's success had been an eye-opener to our predecessors, and his being looked upon as a representa- tive member of our class caused him to be elected to the Cercle. Wetherill also signed articles at this time. On a bleak November day, anno collegianae vitae nostrae III, an announcement that a reading rehearsal for the French play would be held in the room of M. Vurpillot brought a number of us to the scene of action, ready for any emergency. Here it was that we made the acquaintance for the first time of one M. Morin, who afterwards figured prominently in assisting the coaching from the side-lines. It was an imposing scene. One by one we were handed a much-used little book and told to read while MM. Vurpillot and Morin stopped, looked and listened with awful earnestness, and diagnosed our cases as hopeless or unworthy of fur- ther consideration. After considerable sifting and filtering, two of Nineteen-three's sons remained-Weth- erill and Frazer. At this stage, M. Vurpillot directed them to read the play over and see which part each preferred. This was accordingly done, and at the next rehearsal Wetherill announced that he wanted one of the lover's parts-which one (there being two) he did not care! After more sifting, sorting and waste of time, the cast was chosen and Wetherill was given the part of Leandre, one of the lovers, and Frazer took the part of the other, Octave. As the rehearsals went on, AIM. Vurpillot and Morin, for all the world like Alphonse and Gaston, disagreed in the most excessively polite phrases and gestures as to their conceptions of the manner of executing different scenes in Moliere's "Les Fourberies de Scapin"; and had not this "politesse frangaise" ever dominated, nobody knows what might have happened. Still the general outcome of these skirmishes was that the ideas of "Vurpy" were carried out, while Morin, nine-tenths of whose con- versation was carried on by his hands and the remainder by his tongue, withdrew to the anterior portion of the room and sat down, only to return to the scene of action when another scene needed his amelioration. 185 Once in a while "Vurpy" would yield to Morin's ideas simply to stop him from making so many gestures. On these occasions M. Vurpillot would hesitate, shrug his shoulders in true French fashion, stretch out his hands like an expectant shoe-lace vendor, and, with an air of utter indifference, say "Tres bien, si vous voulez." Elated at this victory, Morin would suggest further improvements, when he would be promptly snubbed. One day near the time for the play, on coming to the rehearsals, which, by the way, we always attended most promptly and with a thorough knowledge of our lines, we found Morin in full charge, M. Vurpillot being absent. Morin, on being questioned as to "Vurpy's" whereabouts, blushed, and when he had somewhat recovered himself, made an explanation which, when we again saw "Vurpy" in a few days, led us all to convey to him our felicitations and congratulations!!! Morin, taking advantage of "Vurpy's" absence, immediately instituted a new course of procedure, and a great melee ensued when "Vurpy" saw some of the stunts we had been taught in his absence. However, to make a long story short, the play came off on January 26, at the Century Drawing Room, and the house was literally jammed. So great was the demand for seats that there was a line formed twenty-four hours before the sale actually began, and it made the Mask and Wig look like thirty cents, with the three rubbed out. The curtain rose and displayed a most extraordinary sight in the person of Frazer, fitted out in a pair of canary bloomers, from the bottom of which descended some dainty lingerie, setting off a wonderful pair of silk stockings. A cavalier's hat with a huge plume covered a light wig of curls falling to the shoulders, and a mustache completed the make-up. This spectacle having been disclosed, a rapid fire of syllables was poured out from the middle of the face, throwing the audience into consternation. But before the ammunition had quite given out, another figure--far more startling-made its appearance upon the stage. Enter S. Price Wetherill, Jr., with white stockings and blue knee-breeches. A hat somewhat similar to Frazer's was perched coquettishly on his head, but Wetherill's lady friends said afterwards that his was by far the handsomer. A brown mustache occupied the attention of one hand, while he had the other on the hilt of a sword in case of any disturbance (in the audience). The presence of these two lovers was a signal for such a burst of ejaculations, gestures and sounds that they held their hearers aghast. This fire and shot continued till the nervous systems of the audience were almost exhausted, when our actors finally consented to retire and allow somebody else to come on the stage. That year "Cavvy" Smith, Gonzalo Claudio Munoz, "Pip" Frazer and "Sol" Metzger were elected to membership, but before having become fully aware of the mysteries surrounding the Cercle, "Metz" handed in his resignation, owing to "the arduous duties connected with my work." Whether he meant by 186 this playing ping-pong up in the Architecture Department or running down under punts has never been known. The success of the play and acquisition of more Nineteen-three spirit now developed the Cercle wonderfully. After stVenuous efforts on our part to promote the importance and influence of the Cercle, a splendid room 25 x 40 feet was obtained in the bottom of College Hall. Here we found the remains of a depleted laboratory, which had been used by the Department of Physics. Three weeks found us installs in our new quarters. Among other things, we had painted in red, white and blue letters on the door, Cercle Francais," which gave an air of prestige to our Cercle. A gilded letter-box, giving to the outside public an idea of our great importance, was fastened to the door under the inscription, but we were often fooled when opening the box in hopes of finding a cheque from some kind friend, to find only the Algebra exercises of a Freshman returned and endorsed by Dr. Schwatt, "Wurk hard, old cuss!" In the fall of the last year of our College life, barely had the House Committee completed its work in arranging the rugs, pictures, etc., than the Cercle was attacked by a pirate crew in the form of the Depart- ment of Psychology, headed by a bold and daring leader, Prof. Witmer. Previous to the invasion of these savages-savages they are, for they cut up human beings and other animals and keep the entrails and brains -perfect peace had existed between ourselves and those who were pursuing psychological investigations in the room opposite. However, the savage tribe, opposed to peace and calm, determined to rout us, and held a solemn consultation. On the ides of January, having consulted the Fates whether or not an attack would be propitious, and having examined the entrails which they kept in jars, their chief, Witmer, announced that the Fates had decreed they should make an immediate attack. For seven days and seven nights we kept the marauders from within our sanctum! At the end of this time they sent certain envoys to a king friendly to them-Josiah, by name, who dwelt on the second floor-and bade him send reinforcements. After delibera- tion the king came with his "army" and, with the savage crew concentrated the attack on "Number 6," our fortress. We fought gallantly, but in time our gate was broken down and the invading army entered. One week after this, much to our disgust and horror, we found ourselves, at the invitation of the Department of Psychology, in what had been our room, rehearsing the plays, "La Grammaire" and "L'Avo- cat Pathelin." Countless jars were there, containing brains and entrails, with here and there boxes full of struggling frogs. Such were the unromantic surroundings in which we had to rehearse, such were the tortures to our sense of aestheticism! 187 In "La Grammaire" Nineteen-three did not have any representative, it being a play below the stand- ard requiring our talent. In "L'Avocat Pathelin," however, we had two, Coates who had, after much beg- ging on the part of "Vurpy," condescended to give his talent to the play, and Frazer, whose loving in "Les Fourberies de Scapin" had made such a hit. In virtue of his capabilities, Coates was given a role which consisted principally in acting like a sheep and whenever questioned saying "Bee!" Frazer contented him- self this year in cutting out loving and directing his attention to selling cloth, in the part of "Guillaume." With the exception of everybody's forgetting their lines now and then-merely for tradition's sake-the play went on beautifully. Such, then, has been the career of Nineteen-three in the Cercle Francais. We may have done it good, we may not have done it good, but whatever the outcome of our labors, we have endeavored to work for the benefit and advancement of this, one of the institutions of our Alma Mater. It is, at any rate, stronger than when we entered, and we should not be showing the true Record spirit if we did not claim "post hoc, ergo propter hoc." 188 The Pennsylvanian Vol. XlX.-No. 150 PHILADELPHIA, SATURDAY, APRIL 25, 1903.

CHAMP Event N'' Cpllep College Freshmen Win. The College Freshmen yesterday defeated the Sophomores in a close •ante for the Dean's Trophy. The •bowed weakness in hitting sides, but did •'biro ALTHOUGH the Class of 1903 has never been largely represented on the editorial staff of the Penn- sylvanian, that official organ of hot air, which is run at no time in particular, secured from the representatives of this remarkable class the inspiration which has enabled 1904 to sit back and take a rest. In Freshman year W. B. Galloway, of architectural fame, and G. H. Bickley, who has since been buried in the Punch Bowl's vault, started to make themselves famous by having their names printed at the head of the editorial column. It is said that the winning ways of the latter had much to do with the present financial success of this conservative journal. Later on Irving and Wolf thought the Wharton School ought to have a show, and, having plenty of idle moments in which to cover routes, they, too, j oined the ranks. Wolf lasted only a short while, but Irving decided that it was a great advantage to have the paper delivered free at his locker every morning, and used to spend the whole day sitting around the office, sending off all the extra copies he could find to admiring friends, so that they could see his name in print. 189 "THE PENNSYLVANIAN" BOARD. In Sophomore year, Israel, Tupper and Laird came on the board. The first-named thought that col- lege journalism would be a stepping-stone to something lucrative. He would insist upon the cultivation of a breezy, down-town style which horrified the older members of the board, who couldn't stand for any departure from the beaten track. As far as can be ascertained at the present time Tupper never did any- thing except to attend board meetings once in a while when an election was coming off. It was rumored during Junior year that he was seen near the Dean's office diligently writing something in a note-book, and for a moment it was thought that he was covering a route. Upon closer examination it was found that he was making a memorandum of some dance committee, of which he was to be chairman. Laird was the most conscientious of all the 1903 literary men. He had ideas which were decidedly novel and used to have long talks with members of the Faculty, the results of which were always announced in the next day's editorial. It is almost certain that Laird, with his long-distance talking capabilities, and Irving, with his keen business sense, were the originators of Faculty supervision, which during Junior year served to make the Pennsylvanian more conservative than ever as far as 1903 was concerned. It did not, however, prevent certain violent outbreaks of under-classmen, who thought that the "Muse of Elo- quence," if there be such a lady, had endowed them with unusual powers. Israel left the board at the end of Sophomore year, after having perpetrated his famous "Fowl Fight" and other examples of yellow journalism. Galloway gracefully retired the next fall, and no one will ever know just how many typographical errors were chalked up against him by the Faculty adviser, Dr. Arthur Hobson Quinn. G. W. McClelland joined the force at the beginning of Junior year. He lay low most of the year and it was impossible to tell what innate talent he possessed. He, Irving, and Laird used to go up to Avil's of an evening every now and then, and "Mac," being the goat, had to go out and buy the beer for the crowd. It was always possible to tell when this combination had been at work from the big "heads" which appeared the next morning--in the paper, of course, and Dr. Quinn had to cut classes to catch all the typographical errors. Once in a while Irving used to take a spurt and sit up nights on the .paper, especially when there was anything about him to be printed the next day. His style and expression were easily the most remarkable ever seen in the Pennsylvanian, but the stories which he wrote about baseball seemed to please the management and were undoubtedly the cause of his being chosen manager of the baseball team. 191 Late in Junior year it was up to 1903 to step up and take its turn in the box, but somehow Irving and Laird didn't have the rest of the board under proper control, and in spite of the undoubted worth of the two candidates for editor-in-chief, both failed to make good, and the position passed to a lower- classman. About this time all the 1903 representatives, except McClelland and Bickley, thought their use- fulness to the paper at an end and decided to resign. This was a very clever move on McClelland's part, for when the present college year opened it was found that he had secured enough pull with Bickley during the summer to be nominated for managing editor, a position which he filled until the strenuousness of the job was too much for him. W. E. Kruesi, late editor-in-chief of some paper or other at Union, decided to help the Pennsyl- vanian out during Senior year, and condescended to take a night now and then at the request of the board in meeting assembled. He also kindly took a prominent place in the annual board picture. Altogether 1903 did noble work on the board of the "official organ." That their efforts were unappre- ciated by the Faculty in general, and the English Department in particular, is undoubtedly true, but the great body of University men will long remember the steps taken by the representatives of this class toward making the aforesaid official organ a true up-to-date yellow journal. REDfaBLUE AS far as 1903 was concerned, the board of editors of the Red and Blue read like a list of patron- esses-most of them in absentia. The grand ,names of McCutcheon, Tupper, Brunker and Metzger were printed to give tone to University literature, although it must be said that McCutcheon often went back on his principles and did a little work. "Tom" made a very genial Senior editor and when he got out the old pipe and started a fire in the bottom of the bowl he was almost certain to have one thought and perhaps two. If it had not been for that pipe, the Red and Blue would probably have discontinued publi- cation. The reason for Tupper's being on the board was always kept a profound secret. There are rumors to 193 "THE RED AND BLUE" BOARD. the effect that he came to one or two board meetings and moved they adjourn, but further than that, there is no indication that he ever did anything-except, as has been said, to enrich the title page with that parlor- car name. This is not meant as a knock at Tupper, of course-it is only mentioned for the sake of accuracy. Brunker, perhaps, did a little more work than Tupper. He wrote a very amusing story of two hundred and seventeen words, relating how he went to sleep with his head on a radiator (not a lamp-post) and dreamed such a beautiful dream that all the exchanges spoke of it the next month. Then he wrote another one-an hilarious account of how a man played football and ran the wrong way. A Kansas City exchange, which had never heard the story before, said it was "splendid." After that "Al" withdrew-to give the others a chance. Metzger offered a few husky suggestions for cover designs, which were sprung upon an unsuspect- ing public. In order to choke him off, they bribed him by making him business manager, but when McCutcheon said "Work," Sol resigned. His place was taken by the founder of Munsey's Magazine who enjoys the distinction of being the only business manager who ever kept an account of the Red and Blue money. McCutcheon apparently chose a bad year to be Senior editor. There were very few literary lights in the College, and Tom was terribly pressed to find enough words to fill the issues. But with prose from the Junior Class and verse from the Law School, the Red and Blue managed to make a creditable showing. There were also covers from the Junior Class. Perhaps the most important thing the Red and Blue did during the year, at least from the Pennsyl- vanian's standpoint, was to call "Pomp" Alfred. The Pennsylvanian was informed that "Pomp's" name was Albert, and, accordingly, one night the man who was condemned to get out the Pennsylvanian for the next day, having run out of the usual brand of hot air, wrote a well-punctuated article on orthography, trying to say, in a sincere and earnest manner, that the janitor's name was Albert. The article was very interesting, but the editor made a mistake, for when the Pennsylvanian's representative consulted the Dean he found out, to his horror, that "Pomp's" name really was Alfred. But then you know the old saying about the weather forecast and the Pennsylvanian. The advertising of the Red and Blue was in the hands of the University Bureau for the Irritation of Printers and Discouragement of Advertising. This was an official concern which contracted to pay our printing bills in return for the receipts from the advertising. The arrangement was entirely in favor of the Bureau, but the Bureau could not make it pay, and as a result, the University publications were nearly 195 swamped. They managed to survive, however, and now the solid sentiment is "May the Advertising Bureau see the error of its ways and silently fade away." The men on the Red and Blue board will always look back to the paper with a great feeling of fondness. The little crack in the wall, which serves as the Red and Blue office, was a splendid place for the storage of hats and coats. Tupper also found it a good place to get out the hose and have a fire drill. McCutcheon, having never been in the office, perhaps cannot say whether he is fond of it or not. But to all of us it has pleasant memories. A college education at Pennsylvania is not complete without having been on the Red and Blue board. 196 ^nianwjs NUMEROUS, but futile, were the attempts to run a success- ful comic publication at Penn, until '03 entered into the whirl of University life. At once agitation was renewed towards another attempt. "At last," was whispered by University men, "we have the raw material to build upon, we have here the brains, the artistic ability, and the aesthetic temperament, that such a paper demands." And so the very year of '03's entrance, the Punch Bowl blossomed forth, made possible by the wonderful promise of '03's intellectual-looking sons. The Punch Bowl has always striven conscientiously to live up to its motto-that heroic sentiment of a fearless man-"Damn the torpedoes ! Go ahead !" Therein has lain the great success of the paper,-it has striven for what its editors deemed best, regard- less of the howlings of the multitude. But therein, too, has lain its greatest dangers. Some of the editors, with their unbounded enthusiasm and daring ingenuity, would have carried the paper so far beyond the channels of conservatism, that it must surely have been wrecked upon some reef in the unknown seas. As wit- ness the brilliancy of mind which induced a Punch Bowl editor to write a communication to the Pennsylvanian, severely criticis- ing the profanity of the said motto, and posing himself as an offended member of the clergy. As a result of which communica- 197 "THE PUNCH BOWL" BOARD. tion friends and enemies from all quarters joined forces in a crushing denunciation of the sentiments expressed. It was here that '03 did noble work. The artistic temperament has ever been known for its delicate perception of the balance and of the fitness of things, and here it toned down the flight of violent fancy and kept the balance of the paper true. And who needs ask in whom lay the artistic temperament who has seen the sons of '03-Scham- berg, Bickley, Bigger, Baird and Metzger-and compared their dreamy, spirituelle appearance with the prosaic bearing of the men of Arts and Law who made up the remainder of the board? Schamberg affected tortoise-shell nose-glasses; what greater proof that in him the artistic, aesthetic side completely over- whelmed and outbalanced the coarser fibres of his life! And as for Bigger!-Bigger's hair rarely appeared combed. Oh, my! These artists! To what heights do their delicate natures run! Bickley found his artistic temperament rather a burden, and assumed not only a heavy walk, but an equally heavy appearance. Make way! Here comes Bickley! For several years Baird and Metzger strove to suppress their inner yearnings for the ideal and posed as athletes; but to no avail, the temperament will out. And so at last they, too, openly and bravely, gave their services to the Punch Bowl. Galloway, Owsley, McDonald and Mcllvaine contributed clever sketches to the paper, but having all suffered from spring fever, they never strove to make the board, but contented themselves with intermittent effort. Taylor did noble work with love lyrics and sylvan whisperings, until fate called him temporarily from the University and hushed the silvery murmurings of his pen. Schamberg has been the mainstay of the Punch Bowl's artistic side ever since its founding and really made the paper possible in the early days of its existence. His girls (not all his, we trust, as we do not favor monopoly) have been the attraction of the paper. In the early days, something seemed missing unless Schamberg's name appeared on every page under some fascinating product of his pen. But his classmates, seeing him bearing the palm and the burden alone, came one by one to his assistance until '03 had five good men and true marring fine white paper with the wondrous creations of their pen and pencil. The Punch Bowl has steadily improved under their skilful work, until it now stands upon a plane so high, that the publications of other colleges, gazing through powerful glasses upon it, barely see it in the firmament afar. 199 i W*#V ** A'Wfh J*5C^^7^v -^i' SSW p£l|gt|®®«g yr^ theI&PcIa^ WHEN Nineteen-three entered College, debating was in a bad way. Michigan had been winning again and again, and it was only by graduate students that Pennsylvania could defeat Cornell. So we plunged right in. Paxson Deeter and Morris Wolf were chosen for the Cornell team, but just then Cornell decided to break off relations. They, however, found a job against the Sophomores and together with Allen Baillie and Robert Thomas Moore showed that Nineteen-three was the superior in talking, as in everything else. Moore and Baillie proved a valuable find. Moore held himself in reserve for Senior year, but Baillie at once demon- strated the impossibility of exhausting the air from a retort. There- upon he felt himself "called" to instruct the youth in Jersey, and to descant on questions theological. In Sophomore year, the rest of our debaters made their debut, but hardly had Langfeldt and Rosenberg come out when they followed Morris Wolf into the law. Thomas Darlington Cope and Henry Corneau Diller were the belles of the season. They have never since rung off. Tom has a mathematical mind, and Diller is endowed with a resonant voice and takes things in such dead earnestness that he impresses the judges. Of course we defeated the Freshmen. Mr. Hoag gave a course in public speaking and debate the next fall. We all elected it, all talked all the time, all took our punishment under Frank Slack's fine sarcasm, and, at our last meeting, showed our skill in after-dinner speaking, through the kindness of Mr. Hoag. Just to show that Nineteen-three was a match for a whole university, Penn sent against Columbia a team composed entirely of men from our class. "Jimmy" Young and a bevy of Morris Wolf's admirers went along to New York and started the applause. Columbia was predestined to defeat when our men were chosen. There was Cope, who is always substantial; Diller, who having been trained in discovering the connection between the different ideas grouped into one of Patten's paragraphs, could analyze any anom- aly; and Morris Wolf, surpassing the subtlety of the serpent. "He could distinguish, and divide A hair twixt south and southwest side." Paxson Deeter appeared in the Michigan debate. After much feminine inspiration and a number of dinners he was able to quote authorities in French and to detect the fallacy in Michigan's chart that 2 + 2-7. This was the first time Michigan had been defeated by any university in five years. It was her thirteenth debate. Then we all went into class politics. Tom Cope showed that he was even greater as a "boss" than as a debater. He could give aces and spades to Mark Hanna or Mat Quay. He so far forgot himself as to neglect his hours and loitered about Houston Club, Though fraught with all learning, yet straining his throat, To persuade Tom, Dick and Harry to give him a vote. Deeter promptly took sides against Cope, for the two could never agree on anything, while Diller maintained a dignified independent attitude. Mr. Hoag's training in persuasion must have stood them in good stead, for Tom had his candidate elected Senior president, and Pax had himself chosen to the vice-presi- denev. 201 In our last year we monopolized all debating, controlling the Student Committee and having a majority of the speakers on each team. Paxson Deeter and Harry Diller were selected for the Cornell team, and went to Ithaca with a five- by-ten-foot chart, Dr. Young, and Tom Cope. The chart was to make Deeter's speech intelligible; Dr. Young was sent as diplomat and to respond to the toast, "The Victors"; while Cope was financial manager and watch-dog of the committee's money. Tom did his duty. Once a day he allowed the team a pint bottle of Apollinaris, and refused to honor the orders for drinks from the two men who said they were afraid of typhoid. But what was saved here had to be spent to repair the chairs upon which Tom had seated himself. Pennsylvania won the decision, unanimously on the first ballot, but' the victory was by no means assured until the rebuttal speeches, when it occurred to our men that really they might to win. It was a "Penn- sylvania second half." Deeter took a bracing suck from a lemon, Diller hurled, eloquence at Cornell, and Barrett's grandfatherly way stole the hearts of the audience. Of the eight candidates for the Frazier debating prize, four were from our class. But none of us could land any money. Deeter lost by quoting Blackstone to a Law School man who had "seen it first," and Cope by telling snake stories to Deeter, who had seen them oftenest. In April occurred the Virginia debate. This is memorable as the exception to the series of victories, unbroken since Nin eteen-three came upon the platform, and for the penetration displayed by the critics after it was all over. It was revealed at the autopsy that Virginia won by superior tactics, while Penn had dis- tinguished herself in speaking brightly and clearly. Cope surpassed himself and Moore showed he was cut out for more than occupying a pulpit, but all this was of no avail against the Virginian, descendant of four generations of commodores, who rammed us amidsh'ps, kept us occupied in stuffing up the hole, while he blandly raked us fore and aft. Nineteen-three graduates with the record of being the strongest class in debate within the memory of Pomp. Moore and Wolf, each were on one intercollegiate, and Cope, Diller and Deeter, each on two. We have defeated our class rivals, and Columbia, Michigan and Cornell, but we shall not stop; those of us who will return next fall are ready to clear the Virginia score and keep the name of Nineteen-three on the programs for several more years. 202 F HILQ NINETY years ago! That was even before "Ned" Wood was known in Philo. Yet in that far distant year thirteen loyal sons of Penn brought forth in our fair college the Philo- mathean Society. Now as '03 bids farewell to Pennsylvania, Philo approaches the ninetieth anniversary of her foundation. Great have been the men whom Philo has nurtured; profes- sional men, of course, doctors, lawyers, ministers, professors and "Corny" Weygandt. But Philo's sons have not remained content to tread the "cool, sequestered vales of life." Their names have been heralded in the realms of both "fame and fortune." Judges learned in the law, United States Senators, members of the Cabinet, find their names enrolled in the halls of Philo. Laird has spread the rumor that the eloquence, the rounded periods and the apt quotations in foreign tongues, so often heard in the Legislature at Harrisburg and Phila- delphia's Council Chambers, are but echoes of the mighty debates in Philo twenty and thirty years ago. But the past is dead and to it be all the additional glory which Zelo can ascribe. Philo of the present is superior even to Philo of the past. With the advent of the Class of 1903 there occurred in Philo such an influex of genius, brains, eloquence and wit, that all records were broken. The principals only can reveal the story. Pomp affirms without hesitation that Edward Cope Wood once entered college. We were inclined to doubt it at first, for when we began one by one to be initiated into Philo, Ned was already there, an old-timer. 203 THE PHILOMATHEAN SOCIETY. Adams, Brown, Stallman, Lewis and Laird joined Philo very early in their career. Laird, who accepts with Calvinistic fidelity the injunction to spread the truth unto all nations, immediately assumed the obligation of making the name and fame of Philo known "e'en from the centre to the utmost pole." By Junior year "Deacon" Yerkes was convinced that he could spend one night a week in other pur- suits than the preparation of Scripture lessons and excursions to Willow Grove for his class of young ladies in Sunday School. With his advent the moral tone of Philo increased by leaps and bounds. Under his censorious eye no vice was hidden and no sham remained unexposed. Free of charge he unraveled the past, discerned the present and foretold the future. When it had been fully decided that Cope was old enough to live in the Dormitories and to stay out at night, he, too, joined Philo. At his first appearance he began to talk. Two years he continued, and according to latest reports is talking still. As his ability to emit hot air increased, so did his weight. At the end of two years his weight had increased from one hundred and forty to one hundred and sixty, and the amount of hot air he could emit per second from five to ten cubic feet. William Jones Smith next rode the goat. He tried to convince us, two weeks after his first appear- ance, that "The Influence of Beauty has been to Refine Love." None of us either denied or accepted the proposition, as we knew nothing about love. Yerkes looked down upon it as worldly and unfit for contemplation. There has always been a doubt in Philo as to what "Bill" really meant. Not even "Alec" Adams, our accepted authority on all questions of love and femininity, has been able to dissolve the mystery. As of old did all the roads lead to Rome, and as at present do all the arrows point to Snellenburg's, so did all our years in Philo culminate in our farewell night. Laird was in the chair, with a gavel in one hand and Roberts' Rules in the other, with that smile upon his countenance, which won't come off. Ned Wood was appointed a committee of one to find the constitution, presumption being that he had hidden it. Committee reported progress and was retired. Percy James Brown then with episcopal grace told us of "When We Were Freshmen, or 'Tis Four Years Since, for Most of Us, Reflections and Meditations." The "Deacon" failed to appear when he was called. It was rumored later that his Sunday School class was meeting that night to plan a trip to Willow Grove on the opening day. He sent, however, an essay, entitled "Propensities of Balaam's Fool." It was full of pungent wit and fine sarcasm. Although it seemed that the Deacon was aiming a parting shot at the follies of his enemies, the general opinion was that the article smacked of autobiography. 205 The debate was on a political question, of course, for Cope had framed it. He and Wood battled for twenty minutes to show that the State should have a hand in the management of the University. Lewis, single-handed, not only carried the negative, but also by reason of his fund of apt stories established to the satisfaction of the society that he had a wide acquaintance among the ladies. Stallman was also scheduled on the negative, but he was that night putting on the finishing touches in the flirtation with Athena in the Greek play. The goddess charmed him and he failed to appear. When in the play he threw into his lines the music of the ancient cadence and strode the stage with all the majesty of a barbarian king, Philo was proud of him. It was noticed that Lewis, Brown and Cope quietly sneaked out of the hall, while Bill Smith was heard to creep up the stairs from the Architectural Department. He and Adams were down there keep- ing each other awake over a problem by occasional whacks over each other's head with a T-square. A hen the crowd investigated what was happening, an ice-cream can was found half empty, while Cope's girth measure seemed to be above the normal. However, there was enough left to stop temporarily the clamor of the mob. After politics, the Mask and Wig, and the whereabouts of the constitution had been touched upon, '03 bade farewell to Philo. We have been with Philo four years. We have represented Philo in the chair, on the teams and in every meeting. For the future we join in wishing Philo many palmy days. 206 THE part that 1903 has played in Zelo has been chiefly that of the film in a moving-picture machine. We have came; and alas! we have went. We have often wished that we could sit back, as men of other classes did, and watch our classmates enter one by one, rise in one short year (if it took so long) to a dizzy height of fame and to an ability to settle once for all every world problem save Fullerton and his disk; and then pass out to rest on their laurels and save the rest of their dues. Consider the case of Lippincott, how he entered early and fought late, till one day he found in the Catalogue that it wasn't required-and vanished. No Wharton School man with a trace of conscience could do work that wasn't required. Frank Slack also toiled up to that fourth floor room-which the Dean hadn't mentioned because he was drowned out while on the three hundreds-but left us after a few of our uncomplimentary remarks and waited for his chance in the Greek Play, where they would allow him to break 207 THE ZELOSOPHIC SOCIETY. into song when his speaking voice gave out. The introduction of the word "grouch" into everyday speech began with Zelo, and was due to Slack's attitude on all the subjects discussed in his presence. Tomlinson is also said to have been with us once. At any rate he appears in our picture of three years ago. But he soon saw that the cushioned chair would never be his, and he went off disgruntled to wield a gavel of his own upon the serpentines and mica schists of the Crum Creek valley. Clark and Ross were exceptions to the rule, for they stayed with us for two full years. But even they wandered off in Senior year. Ross betrayed his Ciceronian to his Epicurean nature, and went off to the riotous board of Sigma Xi. "Loui" started up a beauty show, and all who attended agreed that the fifty cents was well invested indeed. Friedman left us early, and so did Moore-yes, many more. To see them all you must compare our four successive pictures, for no memory could retain the list. And now abide Diller, Diller, and Diller, and the greatest of these is Diller. The reporter asks, "Who will speak for Zelo?" and the answer is "Diller." The Freshman asks, "What is Zelo?" and the answer is "Diller." As Cope is Philo, so Diller is Zelo, and nothing in the University's history has been more touching than a meeting of the Debate Committee, when these two would throw aside their rivalries, grasp each other's hands, and burst into tears of affection, each on the other's shoulder. Cope did so far forget himself as to sneer at our Diller's form on the winning team at Cornell; but Zelo is magnanimous, and refrains from mocking Tom's own form, realizing that what the Hash House has put together man may not put asunder. Our last debate with Philo resulted in a draw. The judges admitted that we put up arguments which Philo did not touch, but they said Philo drew the contest on their form. The judges were all noticeably robust gentlemen. Now we are leaving Zelo's hall, and the questions naturally arise: "What have we done for her? What has she done for us?" Our numbers were so few that perhaps we have not done much, though two men on University debating teams is a good representation, and all to Zelo's honor. If we have kept up the interest in the society among the classes which followed us, so that she will grow and improve, then the faithfulness of a few has not been wasted. The second question is not to be answered yet. We believe that Zelo gives its members shrewdness, impartiality, self-confidence, and experience with men, which must be all to their advantage, and we hope that our future shall justify us in impressing upon our successors the motto, "Alere Flammam." 209 THE TRiUmPH « HASH WE have been told that American superiority is but the natural result of combining the best elements of the Old World. Likewise, we are disposed to believe the world- famed American hash is a triumph in combining the best aliments of the kitchen. Thrice daily has this fearful and wonderful concoction of lamb, ram and ham restored the vigor of our athletes and bright- ened the wits of our scholars. Who so unsuspecting as a hungry Freshman? One o'clock on that first Black Friday of our College career found us far from home, and hungry. "Jackie" Westwood, "Danny" Luckenbill, "Tommy" Cope and "Royden Keith" Yerkes hunted up the little lunch which mother had put up for "her darling boy." Pax Deeter, who could use only the front door to College Hall, spied Heuser's and soon was filling up with bananas, while waiting for his abstemious order of dry toast and tea. Opposite sat Tommy Doyle in wild-eyed amazement at the precocious Freshman. Tommy Hamed, Ed Paun and Blystone, finding the brand of Schuylkill supplied in the basement of College Hall too flat, made a bee-line for Eagan's to get a free lunch. The continuous march to the Hospital was started by Bill Smith and Al Brunker, after they took their first lunch at the cafe in the basement of the Houston Club. It is said that Dr. Smith watches over this place to see that nothing digestible is sold there. Percy Brown, Billy Biggerstaff and Schamberg joined the merry throng of co-eds and stenographers in 210 the procession from College Hall to the Bakery, there to partake of pies and cakes served by a charming wait- ress. Oysters are known to be good food and some to get them when they so desired took their meals at Dirty Dan's, but none now survive to tell the tale of the hash served there. The vast majority of the uninitiated found their way into Ma Lipton's "Dining Palace"-in the Catalogue called the University Commons, but in vulgar parlance, the "Hash House." They knew not that the kitchen door was in close proximity to the Hospital for dogs and horses and they failed to notice that it was but a step from the front door to the Hospital, the dissecting room and the Anatomical Museum. What cared they? Hunger was gnawing at their vitals. After Spoerl had engulfed three poached eggs and two plates of bread, his spirits were sufficiently revived to start a vigorous case on May Lipton, the clerk. Laird, ever on the lookout for news, spotted him and spread a story which developed rapidly into a scandal. When we returned from our summer vacations we discovered on Woodland avenue the Dog Cart, run by Ed Landrigan, where meals could be had as early as 6 a. m., so Percy Brown declares, and as late as 3 a. m., according to Willis, who never sleeps. This Cart was the Mecca of all those who took easy courses and so slept late, and there were dispensed such ordinary indigestibles as Manhattans and Trilbies. The Hash House was "under new management" and sample menus of what was to be served (for a few weeks) at $3.50 per week were posted where they would attract the Fresh and beguile all others to try again at the Hash Foundry. Many responded and the place was full, until the able management of Mr. Mahon was unable to supply the trade and the grub descended to Cornbeef hash, Irish stew and fried pota- toes daily. At this point the Hash House Committee, through the energetic George Keller who took an occasional meal as a test and Hildebrand and Bill Gardiner who had never been in the place protested to "the powers that were," but without result and the exodus began for some small boarding house, where our $3.50 secured the best the land afforded. In Junior year the "new management" of the Hash House was A. Pearson Clime, of the Houston Club. His promises were many and his samples fair, so great numbers of our classmen once more took the risk. There as usual was Laird, the argus-eyed reporter, who made one think of the ancient stage direction, "Enter Rumor, painted full of tongues," whose budget of news and scandal was awaited each evening with feverish expectancy by the elect. The learned Cope is not to be forgotten, the silver-tongued orator, melli- fluous Nestor of the supper table, whose erudition was only equaled by his capacity for pie and milk. 211 There, too, was the gentle Alec, whose mind turned much to thoughts of religion and a certain mixed mandolin club concerning which organization we were able to learn but little. Also the two insep- arables, Spoerl and Willis, steadfast as the constellations of heaven in each other's orbits, Smith, the oars- man and athlete of international fame and a candidate for king's fool or the funniest man, and unnumbered others of note and consequence who now and then drifted into the charmed circle. It was at the evening meal that the 'mirth rose highest. Then at the magic touch of Al Brunker bread floated impressively in the air and sought a resting place within the magic boundaries of Keller's table. The next day the dessert would be bread pudding. Pax Deeter organized a table, too, for political purposes, but the members soon saw through the game, as Deeter did all the talking. They had a custom every meal called "Elevating the Host," during which the table rose two feet in protest. It must be acknowledged that mine host Clime was up in the air every time it occurred, for it fell again with a dull and sickening thud like the fall of the Sunday news- paper on the front porch. The agile Ma'cellus no longer skipped about like a gamboling hippopotamus and his steps dragged wearily and slow as the menu shrank from three meats to one and that tasted as if it had been out all night. When we returned for the last lap (at the fountain of learning) we found that Ed's Hurry-up Wagon was off its wheels and had taken such a brace that the counter easily held the heaviest coffee cup that had ever been in use. The place was painted white and on the windows in letters of white appeared "The White House Cafe." But this name was "no go" with those who had to eat the grub and the "Dog" will long be remembered. A Department of English was its chief attraction and we were "eddicated" each day with such models as "poach two on," "spoons out," and "hash brown." The request of a little girl for a box of ice cream brought from Ed's vocabulary "five of ice cream on a Homer." The size of Ed's small ice creams was another attraction which filled his toadstools every night after theatre hours. It is known that Hildebrand and Eckfeldt ate their breakfast there because of the "oatmeal that mother used to make." The receipt of $1.10 worth for $1.00 was an inducement that persuaded many to eat at the Dog, or the Kiosk on Thirty-seventh street. These places were keen competitors in dispensing the fried egg sandwich, the choco- late eclair and the huckleberry pie. Possibly it was at the Kiosk that "Brunker's Smile" developed so quickly when fed on Quaker Oats. During the absence of Frank Slack and Bill Gardiner at Northfield, Dr. Smith ousted the Christian Association from its rooms in the Houston Club and transferred "the Cafe" from the stuffy hole in the 212 basement to this benign atmosphere. On holy ground we hoped for better things, but though the quantity increased with much display the quality remained constant. Cold croquettes couchant and cinnamon buns rampant still occupied their quarters. Gillaspy, McDevitt, "Dave" Kneedler, "Indian" Croasdale, Munoz and Justice always attended in a body and their six little coffee cakes sitting in a row followed by the six ice creams reminded one of the scene from the "Silver Slipper." No doubt the Punch Bozvl is indebted to the dyspepsia of one of this sextette for the lines: Once a sly man met a pie man At the Houston Club; Said the sly man to the pie man, "Drop that awful grub." Said the pie man to the sly man, "That's a source of wealth. First we fill 'em, then we kill 'em- D- the Board of Health!" Altogether during our four happy years at Penn we have partaken in greatest degree of the delectable dish called "hash." 'They may have called it Hamburg steak or beef croquettes, lamb stew or chicken salad, but it was always hash. "Tell me what you eat and I will tell you what you are," says the biscuit-box. The answer to both is hash, for we have had to "eat it to live." Far be it from me to say that anyone "lives to eat" at Pennsylvania dining-rooms.

Who is the handsomest man in 1903? Whitmore won easily by a classic profile and soulful eyes. Kier came second with a composed countenance. Croasdale followed with a deep olive complexion and a face of mystery. 2. Who thinks he is? Gates won by a huge majority over Hildebrand and Schamberg. There is no necessity of entering into discussion for the reason of this large vote. 3. Who has done most for the University? Tupper received first place, haying worked hard and very successfully to instill life and spirit into men by his work as cheer-leader. Gardiner took second place by his work on the water and the foot- ball field. 4. Who has done the most for the class? Keller was elected and deserved the place. Tupper followed. 5. Who is the best athlete in 1903? Gardiner walked away with the vote because of his football, crew and hockey career. Metzger and Eisenbrey tied for second place. 6. Who thinks he is? On this vote the class was evenly divided. S. H. Ross, H. Hepburn and R. B. Smith tied for first place. II 7. Who is the greatest genius? Schamberg easily won this by his success in illustrating. Eisenbrey follows because he not only rowed on the 'Varsity crew, but won scholastic honors in the hardest course in College. 8. Who is the most energetic? Wetherill started at a hard pace and quickly took the lead. Tupper worked hard, but the flesh was weak and he finished second. Brunker followed close after and captured third money. 9. Who is the most versatile? De Armond romped in an easy winner, doing sleight-of-hand tricks, playing the piano, singing, and pretending to work all at the same time. Tupper follows, beating Eisenbrey out by a few feet. 10. Who is the best-built man? Whitmore, with broad shoulders, sturdy legs and thick chest, had no trouble in beating out the ballot. Metzger, with a Grecian build, beat out Gardiner, who has a distinctly Dutch figure. 11. Who is the best tailor-built man? Schamberg captured first place and won a suit o f clothes from his tailor. Lippincott, Gates and Coates tied for second place. The engineers are at present working on the possibility of putting three cubic feet of padding on thirty-four-inch shoulders. 12. Who is the greasiest grind? Few votes were cast for this question, as the grinds were not known to the Wharton School men. Barker, the Arts and Science prodigy, won five points by capturing first place. Yerkes, our widow's mite, followed hard after. 13. Who thinks he is the best student? It was only right that a Wharton School man should think he is the best student, as he will never be anything but a poor imitation. Munson, with a strenuous manner and an overworked appearance, easily led. Blythe, the Engineer, ran a good race and finished second. III 14- Who is the sportiest? Tupper won by a flower in his buttonhole and a light vest. Schamberg followed with an ice cream suit and black-rimmed glasses. One vote was cast for Miss Lorenz. This was supposed to come from Eisenbrey. 15. Who thinks he is? Tommy Harned, with a swagger and a Truxtun Hare walk, distanced all competitors. Schamberg, though defeated for the fourteenth question, came second without any exertion. 16. Who is the most religions? Few of the class qualified for the finals, but the Y. M. C. A. cornered the vote and elected Keller for first place. Although Gardiner and Hildebrand tried hard for the honor and voted for them- selves, they were forced to run a dead heat for second place. 17. Who is the bummest politician? "Cope wins by four lengths" was announced. His campaign for Hildebrand and his control over the "Gang" easily won him the nicknames of "Mark Hanna" and "Matt Quay." Tupper came sec- ond, but was not bum enough for first place. 18. Who is the happiest? Flagler won by a smile over Brunker with a gurgle. 19. Who is the saddest? Jonathan Jones. 20. Who is the under-rated man? Laird won this because he is. This question drew a large field of contestants; every man but four voted for himself. IV 2i. Who thinks he is? In order to be consistent with question above, every man received a vote. 22. Who is the biggest bluffer? Every department entered a man for this battle royal. After the first round only Tupper and Coates were left. Tupper easily bluffed Coates and scared him from the ring. The Wharton School pre-eminent again. 23. Who is the "wittiest? De Armond won by his "Ramble" verses and T ommy Harned by his speeches at class suppers. 24. Who is the worst grouch? Dravo, by his consistent kicking and perpetual discontent about the behavior of Freshmen in par- ticular and everything in general, broke the tape an easy winner. McCutcheon was half a lap behind, but received second medal. 25. Who is the freshest? Faught had a cinch owing to his book-agent familiarity. Sam Ross nearly captured first place, but failed at the finish. 26. Who is the most conceited? Metzger was not in the running until the past year, but his football training stood him in good stead and he was handed the laurel. Hildebrand was a possibility last year, but lost in the finals. 27. Who is the most awkward? Hepburn stumbled across the line first. Eisenbrey's feet became mixed, but he recovered himself and beat out Tomlinson, who stepped on his own hands. V 28. Who is the worst knocker? Dravo gets the five points. Slack and Kneedie r, two members of the "Anvil Chorus," lost because they could not make a noticeable impression with their hammers on the callous skin of the class. 29. Who is the zvorst gossip? Laird has worked in a gas factory and was the most eligible candidate. The other competitors stopped at the end of the first lap. 30. Who is the biggest boot-licker? The Engineers voted solid for Blythe and pulled him through ahead of the rest of the competitors, who were closely bunched. 31. Who is the biggest fusser? Gates won the place by displaying sweet-scented, violet-colored feminine missives. Eisenbrey and Tupper qualified. 32. Who is the most cheerful liar? Tupper leads again with marvelous tales. Harned and Spoerl ran a dead heat for second place. The other entries were not considered cheerful enough. 33. Who is the laziest? The race was long and tiresome. At dark no contestant had appeared, but Kier, walking in his sleep, cut across the track and won first. Whitmore, Walker and Childs were found asleep on the grass and tossed up for places. 34. Were you ever in love? A little over 60 per cent of the class confessed to past foolishness. Some members of class did not know the symptoms; the men who voted no were given votes as most cheerful liars. VI 35- Do you intend to marry? This question seemed to receive the greatest consideration. After consulting various newspaper files containing Roosevelt's Race Suicide Theory, 63 per cent of the class answered in the affirmative, 15 per cent joined in a mighty outburst against matrimony in any guise or form, the rest seemed doubtful or discouraged and are trusting to Fate. Ten to three that Fate gives them the small end of the deal. 36. How long do you intend to put it off? "Until bachelors' tax bill is passed." "Until I can find a father-in-law to afford the luxury." "Until I graduate, at least." 37. What would you most like to have? "I wish I had just fifty million dollars." "Hetty Green for a wife." "Twins." "Another year at College." "Rest." "Mortgage on the moon, or a game preserve in the happy hunting grounds." 38. Why are you glad you are in 1903? "Because it is thoroughly Pennsylvanian." "Because it has led the College for three years." "Because I have had a chance to lick 1902 and 1904." "Because we stick together." "Because it has worked for the good of the College." 39. What is your favorite book? The mercenary tendency of the Wharton School again showed itself. They voted unanimously for a full pocket-book. The idea of a check-book did not appeal to many, as, although every man owned one, it was worth nothing. "Dare-Devil Dick, the Dashing Desperado of the Double Divide." seemed popular with some. VII 40. What is your favorite play? The Mask and Wig burlesques easily headed the list. "Du Barry" appealed to a certain few. "The Visiting Critic" received three votes from the members of the cast. "McFadden's Row of Flats" pulled two votes. These were supposed to come from "Mike" Freeland and Tommy Doyle. 41. What is your favorite drink? Votes very much scattered. Water and milk backed by Y. M. C. A. won out. Wiirtzburger pulled a place, closely pushed by rye high ball. 42. What is your favorite food? The tastes of the class vary greatly, and range from sausage to terrapin. It was impossible to com- pile this vote. 43. What is your favorite smoke? Fifty-seven of the class smoke tobacco, the rest get behind the fence or the barn and smoke corn- silk and cubebs. The pipe took the lead as a soother of woes, followed by the languid cigarette. 44. Who is your favorite actor or actress? Maude Adams captured the first place, closely followed by Mansfield. Mrs. Leslie Carter attracted a great many votes. Three proxies were received to be cast for anyone except de Armond, Free- land and Eisenbrey. 45. What is your favorite girl's name? This question is most ambiguous, so difficulty was experienced in getting an accurate count. Helen, Margaret, Dorothy and Marjorie followed in the given order. Thirty-six different names were sent in. ^£ari$$a was a name that had much attraction for some. 46. What is your idea of happiness? "Good health and plenty of money." "Sleep." "Holding four aces in a game with three suckers." VIII 47- What is your idea of misery? "No money and big debts." "Nine o'clock hour the day after a dance." 48. What part of your College course have you most enjoyed? "When the bell rings at end of lecture." "Summer vacations." "Lunch hour." "Football season." 49. How have you spent your vacations? Majority of the class have perspired, large per cent have loafed, fussed and fooled away the time. Some have studied (very few). Altogether the class has had a good time. 50. What is the greatest achievement of your College course? "Being an eye-witness and survivor of Penn-Princeton baseball game in 1903." "Handing in the same essay to same professor three times in succession and receiving a higher mark each time," says Harned. 51. What sort of a girl do you like best? 1. Brunette. 2. Blonde. 3. Venus de Milo. 4. Straight front. 5. H2O2 Blonde. The ideal girl seemed to be a mixture of blonde and brunette, between five and six feet tall, weighing from one hundred to two hundred pounds and combining the figures of Dutch and Grecian maidens. 52. Have you ever been suspended? Many are called and few are chosen. Irving and Tupper were rusticated for a few weeks and are entitled to mount the stage as the only members of the class who have felt the wrath of the Academic Council.
