The Alumni Luncheon was held in the college dining room at 12.30. This year's graduating class was the guest of the alumni association at this occasion. Following the luncheon the alumni donned their varied-colored costumes and got in line for the parade. At 3.15 the parade started around Parrish. With bands blaring and friendships being renewed every minute the parade started for the athletic field where the class stunts were given and the prizes awarded. 1915 captured the prize for the best stunt and 1905 was awarded the banner for the best costumes. The prize for the person coming the longest distance went to Gilson Blake, 'l5, who came from Geneva, Switzerland. Following the stunts an alumni-Swarthmore vat;* sfty basibafl game was hehd.

SWARTHMORE BASEBALL TEAM SUBDUES ALUMNI BY SCORE OF 4 TO 3 Dellmuth and Richards Feature Attack With Homers— Pitching Good Swarthmore's baseball team added the finishing touches to a good season Saturday afternoon by taking over the Alumni by the narrow margin of 4 to 3. The game was limited to seven innings because of the late hour of starting, but ample action was furnished in the abbreviated session. After a fruitless first inning for both sides, Captain-elect Dellmuth administered a robust blow to one of McFeely's offerings, sending it over the bank in left field. The next scoring wu a personal contribution by Pete Richards. In the fourth inning he faced Cookenbach with a menacing air and sliced the ball far*up on the bank in right field, beating the swift relay to the plate by a small margin for a well-earned homer. The following inning saw a determined rally by the Qrads. Lippincott Jed off by unleashing a single. Snyder and Mc- Feely proved docile, but Hays crashed a two-base hit to score Lippincott with the tying run. Swarthmore retaliated without delay. Johnson rapped one to Adelman, and the first-sacker committed a blunder which put Johnson on first. McFeely was too wary with Schembs and he walked. Sipler then £ame through with his third straight single, putting over the winning runs. Alumni Luncheon and Parade Main Features of Alumni Day Swarthmore was thronged over the ' week-end with an enthusiastic crowd of alumni returning, for the annual alumni festivities. Every little gathering was discussing the old times. "Do you remember" could be heard from every old graduate's lips. In the early part of the afternoon the alumni entertained the senior class at a luncheon in Parrish Hall. Shortly following the luncheon the various classes that were holding special reunions gathered for the parade. Those classes holding reunions were 75, 80, 'B5, "90, '95, 'OO, 'O5, 'lO, 'l5, '2O, '25, *2B. In the evening several of the classes held reunion suppers. This year's graduating class was the guest of the Alumni association at a luncheon. Before the luncheon had ended several classes gave their old cheers. '97 gave the first cheer and was followed shortly after by a "Hurrah" from '95. Toastmaster J. Archer Turner, 'O5, opened the formal part of the program by calling the class rolls. Every class was represented from '75 on. A large birthday cake was presented to the class of 1880 and J. Russell Hayes recited a poem on the occasion. Nosegays were presented to the gathering of the class of 1875, the oldest class represented. After the calling of the rolls and the cheers by the classes the toastmaster welcomed the 1930 class into the alumni association. President Heward, '3O, thanked the president of Ahe alumni association and exthe wtsh-of thc ciAss that the/ to carry on as the classes that had gope before had done. President Aydelotte Speak* President Aydelotte was the first speaker and in opening he remarked that at every annual gathering of the alumni he felt something that he did not experience in any other gathering. He urged the returning alumni to look about them when they returned and see the changes that had been made. He mentioned among the improvements of the past year the new Clothier Memorial, the Edward Martin Biology plans, the plans for the new botanical garden and arboretum, the Benjamin West collection, etc. Morris Clotheir was then called upon and told how in the good old days all of the students were honors students. He spoke humorously abput the endowment campaign and of President Aydelotte's selection of a chairman. He said that the class of 1890, Swarthmore's class of doers, would stand back of the endowment drive and put it across. Professor t Paul Douglass was the concluding speaker. He spoke on the unemployment situation and the efforts that were being made to alleviate this condition of flexible unemployment. J. Archer Turner then adjourned the meeting, announcing that the parade would be held very shortly. Alumni Parade The Alumni Parade started from Parrish at 3.15 and had in its ranks representatives from all the classes that were having reunions. After the band came the class of 1875 riding in an old automobile. After the class of 1880 came the good old class of 1890. They were attired in caps and gowns i and had signs depicting the college life of their day. '95 had a good turn-out and its members carried a large boxlike banner with the words "Consilio et Animo." The class of 1910 was attired in bright smocks with straw hats. 1915 with a very large gathering presented a "Modernized Reading for Honors." Numerous signs told of the reading material of these would-be honors students. They had on gingham polkadot costumes with red hats. 1920 featured Amos and Andy with an entire colored assembly. The "Crumwooid Review" was the title of the 1925 skit. Moving-picture actors were quite obvious in their ranks, '2B, the youngest class having a reunion featured a Swarthmore-Haverford football game. A hurdy-gurdy and a women's jazz-bo band helped to spur the players on. RICHARD M. KAIN Who was awarded the Ivy Medal at the Commencement exercises this morning.

ANNOUNCEMENT OF CAMPAIGN RESULTS GIVEN AT EXERCISES THIS MORNING BY AYDELOTTE Emergency Alumni Committee Will Make Up Deficit Remaining After Two Weeks This Group of Alumni Has Played Important Part in Drive The 1930 endowment campaign, which will secure for Swarthmore another two millions of educational endowment and bring the total productive endowment of the college to seven and a half million dollars, was to a large extent due to President Aydelotte's efforts. He conceived the idea, following the successful campaign of last spring, of raising an additional sum and secured pledges totaling $1,825,000, conditional upon the raising of $175,000 more. This task an Emergency Alumni Committee, headed by Morris L. Clothier, '9O, as chairman, and Alan C. Valentine, "21, as executive secretary, is completing. Conditional Gifts Confident of the approbation of Swarthmore's educational policies in the higher educational circles, President Aydelotte began his task of securing additional endowment immediately following last year's drive. The Julius Rosenwald Foundation, in Chicago, donated $335,000 conditional upon the raising of a two million dollar sum. In addition, William Rosenwald personally pledged $15,000. Then the General Education Board, which had given $675,000 in the previous campaign, duplicated this amount with a similar gift. Edward S. Harkness added another $250,000 to his previous contribution. Another foundation pledged $150,000 for library endowment. The anonymous dVkroi who gave s3oo,uOb tact V.i'' the Biology Department in the nameot Dr. Edward Martin, 78, added $400,- 000 for the endowment of this department, plus an additional $200,000 for the building in which to carry on research activities. This last sum, however, could not be counted as educational endowment. $175,600 More Needed This brought the total to .$1,825,000, with $175,000 needed before June 30 to secure the conditional gifts. President Aydelotte had exhausted his list of donors and he gave over the raising of the additional amount to the alumni of the college as a challenge to their generosity and ability. Acting on his own initiative, Morris Clothier accepted the challenge and invited a large number of prominent alumni to serve with him on an Emergency Committee for the purpose of putting the drive over successfully. Over seventy alumni accepted and formed the committee which has handled the campaign this year. The district organization of last year's drive was revived and Alan Valentine again took his position of executive secretary to the general committee. A large share of the success of the campaign is due to his efforts. A short and intensive campaign was planned for the week of May 4-11, but at the'end of the week only one third of the required amount had been pledged. The committee then redoubled its efforts and worked hard with the aim of completing the amount before Commencement, and an additional plea for support on this basis was sent out to all the alumni. No attempt to canvass among the undergraduate body, which responded so well to last year's appeal, was made this year. Endowment for - Newton Book Prize One of Recent Subscriptions At the Commencement Exercises this morning, President Aydelotte announced that over $155,000 of the amount necessary to obtain the conditional gifts and secure for Swarthmore an additional two million of educational endowment had been pledged. He also stated that he has been assured by members of the Emergency Alumni Committee, which is in charge of the endowment campaign, that in the event that the remaining $20,- 000 were not pledged within two weeks the amount necessary to put the drive over the top would be made up among the members of the committee. Conditional Gifts Assured i, Thus the 1930 campaign for two million dollars of educational endowment is assured a successful completion, and there no longer remains the possibility that the $1,825,000 of gifts conditional upon the raising of the complete sum will be lost to the college. The terms under which these gifts were made allowed the college until June 30 ins which to raise the full amount and the completion of the drive by June 23, one week in advance, is now assured. A gift of $2500 by A. Edward Newton, prominent book collector, to serve as an endowment fund for an annual Newton Book Prize of $5O, re- V- n;* ton this year took over the Thayer JJbrary Contest, which lapsed due to the death of Mr. Thayer, and awarded the prizes. He then signified his intention of making the award annually and this past week endowed the award with the capitalization of its value so that it could be counted in the present endowment drive. This action of the Emergency Alumni Committee, in assuring $20,000 additional pledges within two weeks, makes the successful completion of this endowment drive possible and climaxes its steady efforts throughout the course of the drive to enable President Aydelotte to make the announcement of the drive's success from the Commencement platform. When President Aydelotte secured the conditional gifts Morris L. Clothier, acting on his own initiative, issued a request to a large number of alumni to join him in the formation of an Emergency Alumni Committee for the direction of the campaign. This committee, of which he served as chairman, secured splendid results, in view of the close proximity of this campaign to last year's similar effort, and this final pledge on the part of the committee, caps its generous efforts. DR. PAUL H. DOUGLAS AWARDED GUGGENHEIM FELLOWSHIP FOR 1930 Plans to Study Wage Movements in Europe 1900-30 Dr. Paul H. Douglas, professor of industrial relations at the University of Chicago, and director of the Swarthmore Institute of Unemployment at Swarthmore, has been appointed to one of the John Simon Guggenheim Memorial Fellowships according to a recent announcement made by the trustees of the Foundation.

DR. JAMES R. ANGELL, YALE PRESIDENT, GIVES COMMENCEMENT ADDRESS Speaks to Seniors on "A Modem College And The Test of Its Success" President James R. Angell of Yale speaking at the Swarthmore College Commencement " today on the subject "A Modern College and the Test of Its Success," after describing some of the unusual advantages' enjoyed by students in colleges of the Swarthmore type, said to the members of the graduating class : "Now you will presently go out into what we are pleased to call 'active life'. Some of you will pursue scholarshipand a few of you will perhaps overtake her. Others will .sell bonds and life insurance, and build houses and railroads and radios, and others will teach and some will follow medicine, or the law, or theology, and some of you will find a career in matrimony—especially you young women—and, with a reasonable break in the luck, you will discover this career peculiarly rewarding and rather jealous in its demands on your allegience and intelligence. "In all these careers, you will be tested and your alma mater, following the well-established and somewhat immoral tradition of her kind, will speak highly of you and claim great credit for your training, it you achieve distinction, or even success; and .she will forget all about you if you fail, and attribute your collapse, if she take notice of you at all, to causes over which she will allege she had no control. We college folk like to dwell on our successes, but we rarely accept responsibility for our failures, and yet it is infrequent, indeed, that as good a case for college responsibility cannot be made out in the one instance as in the other. The fact, of course, is that we have only the most meagre and uncertain technique for determining just what contribution a college experience really makes in the training of a young person. We like to believe that it is important and often crucial, and probably we are correct; but, after all, convincing evidence about the matter is highly difficult to obtain. "Undoubtedly the rank and file regard as the true test of collegiate training the position which college graduates succeed in gaining in the world of affairs—and in a certain sense it is perhaps a fair test; but I'think it by no means crucial, I so far as concerns its bearing upon the peculiar type of college experience which you Swarthmorites have enjoyed, for men and women doubtless -for less well trained than you, and possibly less gifted. have succeeded brilliantly at times in all secular callings, both high and low. Any college training, or none, should occasionally produce these results. "For you. and for others coming from colleges with programs resembling that at Swarthmore, 1 believe that the real test will be whether or not, as the years j pass, you maintain in full vigor a genuine intellectual curiosity which you insist on satisfying with ever new forays upon the stores of accumulating knowledge, and also upon the disclosure of unflagging energy in continuing your active intellectual development. The college graduate, who having received a diploma, forthwith relapses into invertebrate and gelatinous intellectual quiescence is the) great indictment of the education given him, and this type is unhappily to be I counted by the thousands on the porches of our country clubs, on their golf links j and their tennis courts, in their swimming pools, and their tap rooms, to say 7 \ nothing of the purlieus of the stock; market and in the ranks of the professions. If you preserve and maintain something of the intellectual independ- j ence and initiative which the college has j stirred in you. you will have proved that | here at Swarthmore something has been j given which elsewhere is les.s often to ' be won. "It is then a wholly just proposal to!1 test the modern college by the quality and j permanency of the effects it produces J upon its graduates. But, while we may j reasonably look for them to achieve more I than their share of the successes in the world of affairs, the more critical test of j their preparation will be found in this enduring vitality of intellectual curiosity, this persistent allegiance to the ideals of mental growth, this unflagging interest in the world of ideas." COMMENCEMENT NEWS DOROTHY CANFIELD FISHER Well-known novelist who addressed new Phi Beta Kappa members Sunday evening. NEW MEMBERS OF PHI BETA KAPPA ADDRESSED BY DOROTHY C. FISHER Mother of Swarthmore Senior Delivers Annual Address Dorothy Canfield Fisher, mother of Sally Fisher, '3O, gave the annual Phi Beta Kappa address in Friends' Meeting House on Sunday evening and spoke on the dangers of wearing the "golden key." Dorothy Canfield Fisher is a well known novelist and has received degrees from Columbia and Ohio State University. She has pub, lished numerous books of which the I most recent are, "Why Stop Learning" and "Deepening the Stream." She has also written a great many short stories ; for the leading magazines. Mentions Dangers Mrs. Fisher in her talk alluded to the many external and internal dangers of being a Phi Beta Kappa and warned against becoming too intellectual, in the derogative sense of the word. She faced frankly the fact that many Americans, and not only the barbarian part of the people, consider the possession of Phi Beta Kappa as a doubtful honor, and regard the wearer of the golden keyas ynder suspicion till proved innocent of complacency or of pedantry. She ' thought that the young members of the fraternity should be forewarned of this suspicion and helped to understand it. It comes, in her opinion, from two factors, one, the natural frontier suspicion of any of the niceties of life, I which still to some extent characterizes our young country. But much more is it due to a recognition of a real danger inherent in any form of education, the danger that long-continued training may smother the creative instincts, that i long instruction in the use of the tools ' of intellectual life may make the learner forget that they are only tools, of value if used, but otherwise of no account.Those members of Phi Beta Kappa who are characterized as pedantic and overeducated are simply the few who have lost their way in the intellectual training shop and have never been able to find their way out into adult creative life. Their presence in the fraternity and the prejudice against them, is salutary to the young members as a warning not to mistake the real nature of intellectual life, not to consider that they have arrived when they are just readv to start. PRESIDENT AYDELOTTE SPEAKS TO ALUMNI AT LUNCHEON SATURDAY Tells of Many Features at College and of New Ideals The alumni luncheoh was nearly over. Classes had cheered and sung. Poems had been read, and honor done the class of '75. President Aydelotte rose and the alumni rose and applauded. Someone called for a yell and everyone cheered the man whom most of them have learned to know and admire. Last year when Tom Hallowell was asked to take charge of the undergraduate drive, he did the most sensible thing the president had ever known any boy to do in similar circumstances. He took several days to think the matter over and in that time he made a thorough survey of the college. He found just what the different departments were doing, what the equipment was and the general organization. Whether it was the training this survey gave him, or his own natural abilj ity, he made an excellent chairman of the drive. I should like, the president I said, for you to follow his example; I look around and see what the college | is doing. Features Of College One feature of the Clothier Memorial that is not at present on display is the big organ presented to the college jby Herbert Tily, in memory of his friendship for Isaac Clothier. The Ed! ward Martin Department of Biology Building is not yet in construction and probably will not be completed next commencement, but this is the first department to be endowed as it ought to be endowed. It will provide first rate undergraduate instruction with the inspiration of older folks working on research problems. Almost without knowing it, Swarthmore is building a « new kind of college, a college with a i research and a teaching unit in every department. ( Another feature that is hardly visible as yet is the arboretum given in memory of Arthur White Scott. This ' is to afford an outdoor laboratory for the department of botany and there- 5 fore be half scientific, half dedicated ' to the beauty of the college. Dr. Miller Praised The Sproul Observatory always has * been a research institution, and is more 1 so than ever this year since Dr. Miller z has been made a research professor, the first research professor in the college. But then, Dr. Miller is the first professor the college has treated as' lie should be treated. The new library is another experience awaiting those who have not yet seen it. The Benjamin West Society J has been lately formed, and this is also interesting, for Benjamin West's house stands oTi the campus. Altogether, we are striving for this' new college, a college of undergraduate ! learning and mature research. The alumni can help. "Your ideals are worth mere to us than your money." ; ALEXANDER MEIKLEJOHN Dr. Meiklejohn, director of the Wisconsin Experimental College, who delivered the Baccalaureate sermon yesterday.DR. MEIKLEJOHN GIVES BACCALAUREATE ADDRESS TO GRADUATING CLASS Father of Senior Justifies Failure in Sermon on Faith Dr. Alexander Meiklejohn, director of the experimental college of the University of Wisconsin and father of Kenneth Meiklejohn, '3O, delivered the Baccalaureate address to the class of 1930 in the Friends' Meeting House, Sunday, June 6. He spoke on faith, contrasting it with common sense, and declaring that from one viewpoint one lived life as a bargain, and from the other as a matter of choice. "Necessity of Failure" Dr. Meiklejohn, who has been prominent in American educational affairs for many years, pointed out the necessity of failure in life, and attacked the maxim of "making good" in any line. It is necessary to fail before true success can be achieved, he said, and with the insight of faith one can discern the true essentials of real success. $42,000 VOTED TOWARD OBSERVATORY FUND AT MEETING OF MANAGERS Board Takes No Action on W. S. G. A. Petition for Women's Smoking Room At a meeting of the Board of Managers held on Friday, June 6, it was voted to appropriate $42,000 toward a fund for rebuilding the observatory. In general, the actions taken concerned largely the approval of degrees and the authorization of various matters connected with repairs and improvements to the grounds and buildings of the college during the summer. No action was taken on the petition for a women's smoking room* presented by the Women's Student Government Association last March. Land Sold to High School Approval was given for the sale of a piece of land to the Swarthmore High School, from which the proceeds, $22,000, together with the $20,000 received from the borough in connection with the sale of ground for the railroad underpass, were appropriated as a $42,000 observatory fund. An agreement was also made with Book and Key for laying a sewer across their lot, and the officers' of the college were authorized to convey to the borough a slightly larger plot of ground for the underpass than had originally been agreed upon. COLLEGE RULING AGAINST CARS STRICTLY ENFORCED RECENTLY The ruling that no cars can be maintained by students on the Swarthmore campus or in the borough was strictly enforced last week when several seniors and juniors were suspended for violating the college ruling. Senior men were given permission to maintain and use cars from 5 P. M. on Tuesday, June 3, until after commencement provided they had the proper permission. The notice from the Dean's Office justifying the suspensions read "It has been decided by those in charge that a fair enforcement of the spirit of the rule against automobiles is impossible without dealing also at discretion with those who for various reasons are driving cars on the campus or in the borough." 2 SWARTHMORE PHOENIX—SWARTHMORE, JUNE 9, 1930 The Sign of "Quality' BREYER ICE CREAM CO.

The award of the Western Swarthmore Club for $7OO for 1930-31 was made to Charles R. Simmons, of the Central High School, Tulsa, Oklahoma.. Leaders In Classes The principal aim of the committee has been in securing the applicants with the best all-round development, with excellence in studies, sports, and extracurricular activities being considered. The upper classmen selected for the vacancies existing both had excellent scholastic ratings. Edwin Lutton has the exceptional record of having attained grades of A in every course he has taken at Swarthmore in the past two years. He was treasurer of his class, is editor of next year's Halcyon and is prominent in athletics. John B. Foster has a very high scholastic record in mathematics, philosophy and English during his freshman year at college, and has been a member of the Phoenix staff.

He has been president of the student council, a member of the dramatic club, and a player on the basketball and football teams. He expects to major in Economics at Swarthmore. After graduating as valedictorian of the 1928 class at the Nazareth Hall Military Academy, Paul Lunkenheimer has spent the past two years at the Episcopal Academy, where he is a leader in the 1930 class in scholastic and civic affairs. He has been a member of the Academy soccer and debating teams and has taken an active part in debating. Lunkenheimer looks forward to Honors Work in the Social Sciences and later to study law. John H. Prest, a scholastic leader in the Jenkintown High School will take a scientific course at Swarthmore, following science honors with a research career in view. He was editor of the high school paper, president of the science club and a member of the football, basketball and track teams. The most unusual open scholar of the entering group is Benjamin A. Russell of the Southwestern High School, of Detroit who he has been self-supporting since the death of his parents when he was eleven years old. He has worked nights while attending high school and has attained excellent grades and the high regard of his fellow students and teachers. Russell is particularly interested in mathematics, and science and expects to do honors work at Swarthmore in these fields. The winner of the Dudley Perkins Scholarship, Robert J. Cadigan, has been on the honor roll of the Mount Vernon High School during the past four years. He was active in extra-curricular activities of the school and was a member of the football team. At Swarthmore he will study in English or social science fields, looking forward either to the ministry or social service work. Charles R. Simmons, who won the Western Swarthmore Club Scholarship, will enter the Division of Engineering at Swarthmore after an excellent record in the Central High School of Tulsa, Oklahoma. A member of the National Honor Society, he served also as President of the Student Control Senate and was active in debating and dramatics. GEORGE ROOSEN STARS IN JUNIOR PRODUCTION "WILL SHAKESPEARE" Four Act Tragedy Successful as Commencement Play "Will Shakespeare," presented by the junior class on Friday and Saturday evening, June 6 and 7, showed excellent histrionic ability. The cast was well chosen and Marion Hall Hurray, '29, deserves much praise as coach. This is the first Commencement play to be given by the juniors. It has been customary for the seniors to have charge of the play, and last year the two upper classes shared in its production. George Roosen as the dreamy young writer and later as the sadder but greater playwright carried off high honors as Will Shakespeare. Kathryn Kerlin gave a very convincing and praiseworthy interpretation of Elizabeth, England's redhaired ruler. Elma Hurlock- took the part of Mary Fitton extremely well and gave a fine portrayal of this selfish, intense lady of the court. Plot Show* Tragedy The story is full of dramatic possibilities which the actors used to best advantage, and the difficult monologues and long speeches were excellently done. The plot itself, although perhaps not strictly historical, is a touching picture of the tragic life of the great dramatist. Will Shakespeare grows weary of his wife's pleading for love and tells her brutally that he does not love her. Anne Hathaway (Beatrice Beach) is sympathetically portrayed as a well meaning but blundering wife, totally unsuited for the ambitious Will. He, lured by the romantic tales of Henslowe (William Mc- Cune), goes off to London with the Strolling player and leaves his wife to the care of her wise old mother (Florence Hearne). At court Will falls under the fascinating witchery of Mary Fitton. She becomes the dark lady of his sonnets and inspired by her he writes his first great play, "Romeo and Juliet." On the opening night, ten years after leaving Stratford, he learns that his son whom he has never seen is dying, but the hours fly fast in Mary Fittons' company and he forgets until it is too late. His friend, the gallant Kit Marlowe (Clement Biddie), is sorry for him but does not know how to show his sympathy. Later Shakespeare finds Mary and Kit in each other's arms. The two men come to blows and Kit is killed. Imperious Elizabeth Well Done The Queen learns of the murder and banishes Mary from the court. Her imperious will and her undying love for England were excellently painted. She commands Shakespeare to write and fulfill his contract, and, finding the bitter dregs that Anne had tasted in Mary's sudden hatred, he begins "As You Like It." The supporting cast was good, although the strolling players were a bit stiff and unnatural. PAUL STRONG DELIVERS ANNUAL SENIOR IVY ORATION SUNDAY Gives Interpretation of College Life and Its Standardizing Effect Paul Strong, '3O, Ivy Orator, delivered the Ivy Oration last evening. He said in part: As we near the time when we, as a class, must leave the place where we have spent four pleasant and profitable years, it is particularly appropriate that we should pause for a few moments to consider just what these four years have meant to us and will mean to us in the future. Let us assume, at the outset, that we all entered college to receive what is commonly known as an "education." As freshmeu, we scarcely knew what form this thing called education was to assume. Had we taken the trouble to consult a dictionary on the matter we would have found the following definition*— "Education—noun—The systematic training of the mental and moral faculties; the rearing of animals." At present we are too close to the work we have just finished to see exactly what ts true significance to us will be The events which have occurred, the problems we have faced, are all piled directly before our eyes, as we look back, making it impossible for us to get a proper focus on them. We can obtain some conception of what our academic work will mean to us in the future by consulting those who have been away from school for some time. The majority of these will tell us mere fact-learning we have done will mean little or nothing to us as such. What, then, has been our gain, if any? It is the opinion of many educators that the greatest benefit we have reaped has been the training of our minds. That is, when we leave here our minds should be much more plastic and impressionable than those of high school or grade school graduates. Perhaps we can find some answer to this problem by following a young man through his college life. As a freshman, the student has many outside pressures brought to bear on him. In the classroom, in the dormitories, at social functions, in fact, in all phases of college life freshmen learn that this is not done at college, that that must be done; that this is correct and that is incorrect. Most normal young people do not wish to be looked upon askance because of their eccentricities and are very quick to jump on the band wagon and do what other people expect them to do. The freshman soon finds himself wondering about problems of various kinds, ranging all the way from the question, "It there a God?" to "What kind of necktie should I wear?" Right at this point is where the young man very often makes a mistake. Instead of sitting down and reasoning and thinking the thing out for himself he runs to a member of the faculty or a classmate and too often accepts what he's told as the truth without further investigation. Problems concerning the school, concerning religion, concerning social relationships, and the like, are dealt with, not as individuals, but as groups in the now-famous, "bull sessions." Conclusions are reached, traditions set down, rules, written and unwritten, are made which will meet the approval of the majority. A college student's conversation and interchange of ideas are almost exclusively with other college students. The molding of men and women into a more or less common type is a black spot on our present educational system, and the blame can scarcely be placed with the colleges. It is difficult, yes, impossible, to make young people think independently. The remedy lies with the students themselves, for they alone can force themselves to break away from conventionalities, within certain ranges, and make their minds seek original ideas and ideals. If the Class of 1930 could leave behind its heritage the warning to students that individuality and originality are necessary ingredients of a wellrounded, efficient personality, we would be doing a great service to our Alma Mater and to education in general, and by heeding our own warning we would be doing a great service to ourselves.

THE COLLEGE PHARMACY 'Where Dainty Sandwiches Are Served'
---------- Page 4 ----------
Is College Worthwhile? Willi colleges all over the country graduating thousands of their members and particularly with Swarthmore conferring 118 decrees this morning the question arises "is colle.cc worthwhile?" Are the benefits received sufficient to warrant the spending of four years within the sheltered walls of a higher educational institution? Frankh we do not know the correct answer to these queries. To one who plans to enter a professional school there can he little doubt that a college education is worth while. To the others who have no future plans except the earning: of a living the answer to the question seems in doubt. College, particularly if similar to Swarthmore. increases tremendously the social education of the individual. No one can question that the student of a small, well-ordered, co-educational school receives a great deal of valuable aid in developing himself into a well-rounded individual. Rut is this sufficient to justify the spending of four years of time. We think not. If all that can be grained from college life is an increased social education, two or possibly three years at the most should be sufficient. In tact, if we must conclude that the social benefits are the only ones accruing from college life, i: would seem that there is something radically wrong with our educational organization. Some change should certainly be made in order that increased returns might be paid. Still it is not fair to college and particularly to Swarthmore to draw such a conclusion. We have here one of the most liberal educational systems in our country. Are its benefits simply to be catalogued under the heading of social development ? We admit that this phase is very important here. In fact to many it is the only hasis for remaining and it seems the only possible reward which they may secure. However, we also believe that Swarthmore offers opportunitv for intellectual education which should make attendance here worth while. Naturally many do not take advantage of the opportunity. Still it is here waiting: to make college life more than a country club with studies as a side diversion. W'e have the chance to pursue wcrrk of our liking very* intensively. W'e are allowed to dispense with many of the usual prerequisites and concentrate on fields in which we are given unprecedented freedom in the organization of the time during which we shall study. In fact the intellectual attainments which we secure from four years here are directly dependent on our interest and effort. In answer to the question as to the value of a college education we conclude that if four years at Swarthmore gives one merely a broader social education, the time is wasted. Such results could be secured more quickly and efficiently in some other way. But if college improves one intellectually in such a way that the world may be better understood and life more fullj* appreciated, the four years spent seem more than worth while. Cat at Swarthmore Since our last edition a new interpretation has been placed on the car rule and the Dean of Men has temporarily suspended several juniors and seniors for violating the rule. Under the new ruling Swarthmore students are not only forbidden to maintain auto| mobiles at the college and in the village but are warned that a fair enforcement of this regulation can only be secured by placing punishments on those who are, for various reasons, driving cars on | the campus and in the borough. The j enforcement of this regulation against driving cars is to be enforced, accord! ing to the announcement, at the discretion of the proper authorities. It seems to us that this new interpretation will work a great deal of injustice unless a large amount of discretion is., used in its enforcement. Frequently during the college year students drive cars belonging to others. It does not seem consistent with the rule on maintaining cars, issued by the Hoard of Managers, for the college authorities to punish students for this offense. Because of the probability of injustice in this connection, we advocate that the college officials return to the old interpretation of prohibiting the maintenance of ears, that is if any car rule is necessary at all. At present it seems doubtful to us whether any ruling against automobiles should be retained. We favor the least possible number of restrictions on college students because we believe that it an undergraduate abuses his privileges he shouhl be speedily dismissed. \Ye advocate this greater freedom particularly for upperclassmen on the basis that they are mature enough to \jontrol their conduct. It we add to this conception the difficulty of enforcing the present rule, there seems strong grounds for a serious consideration of the abandonment of the prohibition against ears. However if the rule is to remain, we advocate a strict enforcement of it and not the spasmodic penalties which the Dean of Men issued recently. It is a well known fact, with which the authorities must be familiar, that at the time the few men were suspended at least fifty cars were being maintained in the back of Wharton Hall and in the village. And yet the Dean only punished those whom he happened to see driving. This action to us seems hardly consistent. Perhaps the authorities do not have the time to thoroughly investigate the car conditions. If that is the case, we believe that complete unenforcement would be better than picking out a few violators who happen to come to their attention. As to next year, if the regulation still remains we urge a strict enforcement. However we hope that some arrangements may be made whereby the college will place the maintenance of cars at the discretion of the undergraduates. From our knowledge of Swarthmore students, we do not believe that they would abuse the privilege. The Women's Smoking Room In our last comment on the women's smoking room, we urged that it he established and particularly that the Board of Managers take some action on the petition at the June meeting. This meeting has been held and the report has been issued that no decision has been reached. This course was necessitated by the absence of the chairman of the reporting committee because of sickness. That this is a legitimate reason for delay cannot be denied. However to us the postponement of any action seems particularly unfortunate. Many will believe that the Board is dodging the issue and is waiting until the cause will become a dead one. In order to avoid this state of affairs, we urge that the authorities make either a favorable or an unfavorable decision at the earliest possible moment. Perhaps a special meeting could be held during the summer months. At the latest, a full report should be forthcoming at the fall meeting. We are still emphatically in favor of the establishment of a women's smoking room as long as the majority of the women favor this move. There seems no reason to doubt that they still do. We favor a favorable reply to the petition of the women. Particularly we ask some answer, whether affirmative or negative. from the Board at the earliest possible time. A Request, Alumni In accordance with the custom begun this year, the fourth Alumni Supplement is a special feature of this edition of the Phoenix- A special effort has been made this time to give recent news about a large number of alumni. Sketches of sixty-one alumnae and alumni, in widely diversified lines of endeavor, are included. The educational profession has been given special attention with a number of biographies of prominent educators. This has necessitated a great deal of careful research on the part of the members of the staff. All of the material is as recent and as correct as we can possibly make it. However, our work will be lightened and improved supplements next year will result if alumni will occasionally drop us a ncvys note which will be suitable for the alumni section. Recent happenings of interest to Swarthmoreans, achievements of other alumni, and, above all, /hort auto-biographical notes, will be of great aid and value to the staff. The last especially are greatly desired. We can be sure that such are correct, and they will not in any way be used as auto-biographical. We urge all alumni to cooperate with us by sending us such material so that the cus-r torn of Alumni Supplements, begun so auspiciously this year, can be continued in the future on an improved plane and with a widened scope. "campus comment" the phoenix is again in mourning. this time over the loss of the writer of our column, "campus comment." lie has already left college and rumor hath it that he plans to enter the holy honds of in atrimo n v this summer. we pledge ourselves to prevent this move. but if unsuccessful we shall try and unearth another genius. prav that the dean of men has seen tit to admit one. PERSONAL OPINION Editor's note:—The plans for the proposed Negro conference, as we understood them, called for a complete equality in social entertainment between the visiting black and white students. We maintain that such action ignores the essence of the race problem. Naturally therefore we oppose the Liberal club in this move. The Swarthmore Phoenix: 1 read the communication of the Liberal Club in regard to the proposed Negro Conference at Swarthmore, and your editorial approving the action of the Board of Managers, with keen interest. At one place in your editorial you say, "The Liberal Club would place the two groups side by side in social equality." It 1 asked a group of people, white or black or mixed, to come to my home to discuss some economic problem, a question of social equality is not involved. The character of those who come,—as well as their intelligence, are the only questions involved and these attributes are not a matter of color. But if 1 gave a reception and con fined my invitations to those of a certain social set, then the question of social equality is involved, because that is the test which I choose to apply to those whom I invite. Those who harbor a certain race prejudice hide constantly behind the specious argument of "social equality" when no such question is involved. I quote from the May 12th issue of "Time": "In 1924 Dr. Robert Nathaniel Dett was summoned by his home town, Niagara Falls, N. Y., to be its guest artist for the inauguration of the celebration of Music Week, at which time a chorus of one hundred voices, all white people, was placed at his disposal to interpret his compositions. He has the distinction of being the only colored man so honored." Suppose any white members of the choir should have refused to sing because they were placed on a "social equality" with the colored conductor? And yet such a position would have been just as resonable as for the Swarthmore Phoenix to say that they would not go into conference with a group of respectable, high-minded, educated Negroes, because to do so would involve "social equality." By the way, Dr. Dett, the leader of the Hampton Institute choir, now singing abroad, was invited to tea by Prime Minister Mac Donald at his official house, No. 10 Downing Street, where other members of the British Cabinet and their wives were present As an Alumnus of Swarthmore J regret exceedingly that the Board of Managers have declined to permit the Liberal Club of Swarthmore to hold such a Conference as was proposed at the College.Wrilliam E- Sweet, '9O. To the Editor of the Phoenix: I was very much interested in your recent editorial on the proposed Negro conference at Swarthmore, and Mr. Will Jones' commendation of it Both expressed admirably one attitude toward the subject If the attitude of the Phoenix is that of the college it is a service to the alumni to have it so expressed. However, if this is the genuine attitude of the college toward (he Negro problem, except as a purely academic question, I question whether Swarthmore can justly claim to be either liberal or cosmopolitan. Undoubtedly nsjr popple would to displeased by such a conference. I can only quote Dr. W. D. Weatberford, i both a keen student of the race question and a southern white man, in reply to *he question "What is our duty toward the Negro?" He said "It is my duty to do the next thing as I see it and trust those who come after me to have as much wisdom, as much Christian spirit, and as much sense of justice as I have..This I imagine is the feeling which actuated the Liberal Club however melodramatic their methods may or may not have been. And we must remember that it is much easier to be correct than courageous. All one can ask of Swarthmore is that she be honest. If she is to depart from the traditional pioneering of the Society of Friends, if this be not a contradiction of terms, let 113 be frank about it. Let us acknowledge that since we can offer no final solution we must discourage those who have the courage to take a next step. There can be 110 doubt that the conference would not have proved "worthwhile" from the standpoint of endowment subscriptions. But| among those thinking people who want to take the Negro question out of the realm of missionary endeavor and treat it as an economic and sociological problem I believe the college has lost an opportunity to distinguish itself. I have greatest respect for conservative people, and also for many of those who have not the courage to try their faith, but only when they frankly admit their position. Let us not say that Swarthmore is guided by Friendly, and therefore Christian, principles, unless her faith in them is corroborated by her works. Very truly yours, Marian Satterthwaite Scandrett Swarthmore, 1922. THIRD ISSUE OF YOUNG COLLEGE MAGAZINE IS EDITED BY NEW STAFF Plays, Stories and Book Reviews Feature Recent Number of Manuscript The Manuscript completed its first year of existence with the May issue which came out on the twenty-ninth of last month. This issue was run entirely by the freshman staff, and an effort was made to more fully carry out the original purposes of the magazine than has been done in the two previous numbers. The editorial outlined the policy of the magazine for next year. It shall have no edtorial policy "representative of any one person's particular interests. If the alitor has definite views, these shall be included in the Manuscript as a signed article on a parity with any other article published.'' Another interesting statement, in view of much that has been published this year, was to the effect that the editorial board does not expect to write "even a small percentage of the material." The organization of the staff and the dates of the issues of the Manuscript for next year were given; The leading article was "An Educational Proposal" by Julien Cornell, '3O. This was a discussion of some of the difficulties met in undergraduate instruction. The article itself contained no ideas startlingly original, but is valuable for.the type of thing it is considering. It shows constructive criticism—that which is most rare to find in undergraduate writing. The second article describes a charming adventure, "In' Quest for the Spoonbill" by C Brooke Worth, '3l. It contains beautiful descriptive writing and may well be rated among some of the best things published this year. A short Essay "On Boats", by Arabel Jaquette, '32, was written in much the same spirit and betrays, as did the other, a pure joy in the subject. "A Gallery of Teachers" by John Foster, '33, demonstrates what a teacher may be up against every day of his existence. Actually it is a sketch of personalities very evidently real and understood. "The Wreck Of The Hesperus" by Alan Howland, '3O, hardly does justice to the winner of first prize in the oneact play contest. The idea is quite good, but might have been a great deal betterexpressed. Molly Yard has written a review of the "Model League of Nations" held at Lafayette College this spring. This article should be of interest to anyone considering attending the league next year at Princeton. An interview with Professor Louis Cons, head of the French department, was the basis for "Notes on Student Life in France" written by Ruth Ernestine Cook, '33. It considers university life from scholastic, athletic, and recreational angles, and is interesting in comparison and contest to college life as we know it here at Swarthmore. "Winter Moonlight" is a long poem by Gillespie Evans, '33. Perhaps it is too long, for while it is strong in parts, it loses in coherency and beauty by being unpolished. It is well worth reading, and is being criticised against the other things Gillespie Evans has written rather than other poems exhibited this year. In an entirely different strain is the ballad of "The Walrus and The Carpenter" with apologies to Lewis Carroll. The endowment drive is its subject and certain phrases have come straight from "Alice" It shouldn't be missed by a prospective alum. "Question," a quatrain by Arabel Jaquette, '32, is powerful in its simplicity. "The Call of a Bugle" is a short sketch by Molly Yard, '33, Idling of an experience following the sound of a bugle. The last section of the magazine was devoted to four book reports with notes on the authors. FACULTY MAKES PLANS FOR VACATION; MANY TO TEACH SUMMER SCHOOL -♦» Hunt, Cons, Bagley, Fraser, and Others to Teach— Many Travel Swarfhmore"s faculty has already made most of its summer plans. Research, traveling, lecturing and teaching summer school will claim various professors during the hot months. Among the summer school teachers is Prof. Louis Cons, head of the Romance Languages Department, who will teach French in the Penn State French Insthute. Professor Everett L. Hunt will teach Backgrounds of Speech Training at the University of Colorado for five weeks and then round out his vacation in the mountains of the Southwest. John J. Matthews, Assistant Professor of Mechanical Engineering, plans to teach Foremanship Improvement (training for leadership) at the University of Louisville, Ky. R. C. Brooks is going to deliver an address on "Honors Courses in the Liberal Arts College" at an Institute on Higher Education for Women to be held at Alabama college, Montevallo, Alabama, June 19-21; and then two lectures on the same subject at Columbia University Summer School in New York, July 17 and 18. Also at Columbia will be Charles R. Bagley, who will teach in the French Department; Dr. Spiller will give two courses at Harvard on "English Critical Prose of the Nineteenth Century," and "American Literature of the Nineteenth Century," and Professor Herbert F. Fraser will conduct one of the courses in the Institute of International Relations to be held at Haverford June 9-21. Dr. Will Carson Ryan plans to teach in the School of Education at N. Y. U. Other Faculty Plana Among those not engaged in active teaching will be Ross W. Marriott, who plans to spend the summer in research work; Mrs. Eilene Galloway, who will pass her vacation in Washington, Chicago, Kansas City, St. Louis, and Columbus; George A. Bourdelais, Instructor in Engineering, who expects to visit different industrial plants dealing with engineering materials; and Lewis Fussell, Professor of Electrical Engineering, who plans to attend two conventions, the American Institute of Electrical Engineers at Toronto, and the Society for the Promotion of Engineering Education at Montreal, and then busy himself in his profession as an electrical engineer. Professor Michael Kovalenko will spend the first half of the summer in Europe, and the remainder of his vacation in Canada. PRESIDENT AYDELOTTE TO HELP ESTABUSH NEW GUGGENHEIM FELLOWSHIP Exchange Fellowships to be Arranged with Latin- * America President Aydelotte, Chairman of the Advisory Board, has been invited by the Guggenheim Trustees to spend a few weeks in South America this summer in order to advise them concerning the proposed Guggenheim Latin- American Fellowships. President Aydelotte will sail from New York on June 21 and will-return August 30, spending his time mainly in Argentine and Chile. He will go down the east coast directly to Buenos Aires and will return by the west coast and the Panama Canal. The first Guggenheim Latin-American were established in Mexico last year, and two scholars from Mexico will come to the United States in September, 1930. Four American Fellows have been appointed at the same time to study in different Latin- American countries. The Latin-American Exchange Fellowships are designed to promote a more intimate understanding between republics of North and South America through the closer relationship of scholastic and professional men in these countries. They will be. granted for independent research and also for training in the various professions, including engineering and teaching. Special" consideration will be given to applicants who desire to study political, social, or scientific problems which are common to the countries of Nortfi and South America. If these Exchange Fellowships are successful, the Trustees will consider extending them to other countries of Latin-America. Fellowships will be open to men and women, without distinction of race, color, or creed, married or unmarried. Since the establishment of the foundation by former United States Senator and Mrs. Guggenheim five years ago, 295 Fellowships have been awarded. The Fellowships are normally of the value of $2,500 a year. MARGARET GURNEY WINS ASSISTANTSHIP TO BROWN Margaret Gurney, '3O, has been awarded a non-teaching assistantship to Brown university for next year. Her work will consist chiefly in marking freshman papers. In addition to this work, she expects to carry about nine hours of study in preparation for her master's degree. She has received highest honors in the Division of Mathematics, Astronomy and Physics, was a candidate for the Lucretia Mott fellowship, and has bean elected to Phi Beta Kappa. She has also taken active part in extra-curricular activities, being a member of the chorus aad of her class basketball team, SWARTHMORE PHOENIX—SWARTHMORE, JUNE 9, 1930 Founded 1881 Swarthmore Phoenix Published Weekly by the students of Swarthmore College Robert E.

ALUMNI SECTION LOUIS ROBINSON, 05, MAKES CRIME STUDY HOBBY A LIFE WORK Has Served On Several Commission Studying Penal Conditions EXPERT iiT FIELD Nearly everybody has a hobby. But for most people hobbies are simply a light diversion to be picked up when time hangs heavy on their hands, or there isn't anything else to do. For Dr. Louis Newton Robinson, 'OS, this is anathema. For he has a hobby that calls on him for continuous expenditure of time and money and effort—and he would consider himself but a poor specimen of a man if he didn't! His hobby is the study of crime and the treatment of offenders, and he gives to it a painstaking effort that few men expend even on their life work. For Dr. Robinson believes that every man should familiarize himself with at least one great social problem during his lifetime, and he himself feels well repaid by the greatly enlarged horizon of, his mental life, and by the many fine' contacts he has made in the course of his studies, for all he has given to his work. He is known all over the country as an expert on criminology and its allied subjects, and is deservedly proud of the fact that four governors of Pennsylvania have appointed him to investigating commissions on penal affairs of the Keystone State, and that he has been selected as a member of a subcommittee of the Hoover Law Enforcement commission and as a delegate from the United States to the International Prison Congress at Prague this summer. Practical Experience Dr. Robinson is not without practical experience in penal affairs, for he was chief probation officer of the Municipal Court of Philadelphia, 1918-21. This court handles all juvenile and domestic relations cases, and practically all the moral cases of the city of Philadelphia, and has criminal jurisdiction. Prior to holding this position, Dr. Robinson spent ten years at Swarthmore teaching in the economics department, 1908-18. He held fellowships from Swarthmore and Cornell, where he received his Ph.D. in 1911. His doctor s thesis for this degree was published in 1911, under the title of "The History and Organization of Criminal} Statistics, irt The United States, and* n still considered the most outstanding authority on criminology in this country. In 1921 he published his second book, "Penology in the United States," which grew out of the course in criminology which he gave at Swarthmore for several years. Directed Small Loan Survey Dr. Robinson directed the survey of the small loan business under the auspices of the Russell Sage foundation 1922-24. He was secretary of the Pennsylvania State Penal commission in 1913, and of the State Parole commission in 1925-27, and was also a member of the Pennsylvania Commission to Investigate the Prison System in 1917, and of the Crime commission,- 1927-29. Another of Dr. Robinson's activities is his position as chairman of the board of the Pennsylvania Committee on Penal Affairs, a private organization supported by private funds which is seeking to develop a better system of dealing with crime in the state. Jts bud- NEWS FROM ALUMNI CLUBS New York Swarthmore Club Foregoing: all of their special club functions for the time being, the New York Swarthmore club, led by its president, J. Stokes Carswell, is bending all efforts to help put the Endowment Drive over the top. A recent meeting of the Board of Governors, originally called to discuss a proposed spring get-together, was expanded into an endowment committee meeting, and the decision was made to concentrate on the drive for the time being. In February a dinner dance was held by the combined men's and women's clubs, and was such a pronounced success that another similar affair will undoubtedly be arranged for the near future. No other definite plans have been laid, with the exception of the annual election of officers and accompanying smoker which is to be held, as usual, on or about the first of December. Philadelphia Alumnae Club At the spring meeting of the Swarthmore Alumnae Club of Philadelphia, was held in Whittier House May 3, the officers for 1930-31 were elected as follows: President, Elizabeth Pollard Fetter, '25; Vice-President, Beatrice Victory Sautter, 'O7; Secretary, Caroline A. Lukens, '9B; Treasurer, Edith C. Bunting, Ex-'l2; Executive Committee, Jeannette Curtis Cons, 'O7, Esther M. Jenkins, 'l5, Esther A. Newcomer, 'l9, Ruth Verlenden Poky, 11, and Caroline Robison, '29. The Philadelphia Club has recently re-decorated the Swarthmore Room of the Philadelphia College club. With the New York Wcuren's club, it supports the Alumnae Scholarship. Philadelphia S warthmore Club At the May meeting of the Swarthmore Men's Club of Philadelphia, held in the Penn A. C., the following officers were elected : President, Robert I. Lamb, 'O3; Vice- President, Lewis Korn, '26; Secretary, Thomas H. Doyle, '10; Treasurer, George Davis, '27; Executive Committee, Charles C. Miller, ex'B6; Richard Peters Jr., ex'ol; George E. Broake, '2B; J. Archer Turner, 'O5; Edwin A. Lucas, 'l4; Edward M. Bassett, 'O5. The meetings will be resumed in October and be held the first Wednesday of the month for the rest of the year. All graduates and ex-students are invited to attend. Che* tar Swarthmore Club The Swarthmore club of Chester was formed last October to keep the alumni of Chester and vicinity in closer touch with the college and its activities. The club holds ils meetings every second Tuesday of the month at the Chester club, 511 Welsh Street, Cluster, where an average attendance of sixteen meet at luncheons. On several occasions the members were fortunate in having those in direct touch with the college, as well as some of tlie prominent alumni from the vicinity of Chester, speak to them. The club has as its officers J. Edward Clyde, '23, president; Tliomas McCabe, 17, vice-president: Guy W. Davis, '24, treasurer; and Lloyd Goman, '25, secretary.The members liave decided to abandon their regular meetings for the summer months uut plan to continue the organization again in the fall. LOUIS N. ROBINSON, '5 Who has achieved an important po tion in the field of criminology. FORMER STUDENTS WITH TURNER CONSTRUCTION CO. Specialize in Stadia and Large Building Construction A large number of Swarthmore graduates are members of the firm of the Turner Construction Co., one of the largest companies specializing in stadia and large building construction in the East. The company was formed in 1903 by a number of the Garnet alums and it has greatly prospered. It was a pioneer in the use of reinforced concrete for large building construction and gained its chief reputation through the slogan "Turner for concrete." Henry C. Turner, '93, father of Haines Turner, '3O, is president of the company. Other alumni in the firm are Wm. W. Turner, vice president, Charles Andrews, '99, vice president, T. Arthur Smith, 'OO, vice president, and J. Archer Turner, 'O5, irt chargt of the work of the Philadelphia office. Turner Construction One of the largest jobs erected by the Turner Company was the Army Base in Brooklyn, the largest building in the world at the time of its erection. Other work for which it received the commendation of the government were the barracks at Washington, D. C., erected in record time. Among the large stadia it has erected are Franklin Field, the Philadelphia Municipal stadium, and those of Pitt and Brown Universities. Last year it built a six mile bridge across the James river at Newport News, Va., the first bridge job it had undertaken, and finished it three months ahead of time and at a price considerably under the estimate. The General Motors building in New York City, the Provident Life Insurance building of Philadelphia, the new Strawbridge and Clothier fourteen story addition in Philadelphia and the new Chalfonte-Haddon Hall in Atlantic City are other important edifices which the Turner Construction Co. has erected. 1930 ALUMNI RECORD IN HANDS OF PRINTER The new Alumni Register for 1930 is now in the hands of the printer and will be ready for distribution sometime this summer. There will be several additions and improvements over previous issues, including a list of the Board of Managers and the faculty since the founding of the college. There will also be a list of the recipients of honorary degrees. The graduates and non-graduates will be arranged by classes, giving the degrees received by the graduates. These will also be given in a geographical list, arranged alphabetically according to state, town, and foreign country. In addition, the new register will include an alphabetical list of all graduates and non-graduates with their classes, and an alphabetical list of all students who attended the preparatory school, in existence from the beginning of the college to about 1890. ALUMNI PRESENT MANY BEAUTIFUL AND USEFUL GIFTS FOR CAMPUS Library Chimes, Observatory, Trees and Shrubs Gifts of Alumni A number of very fine and useful gifts from alumni and graduating classes help to beautify the Swarthmore campus. Several classes have given the college gifts of various kinds while individual alumni seem to have been even more liberal. Many of these gifts have been in the form of money, but some have been in the form of campus improvements. The Trotter biological laboratory and the library chimes were given to the college by Morris Clothier in the name of the class of 1890 and number among the largest donations to Swarthmore. The Class of 1894 presented the college with the trees along Wharton walk and the shrubbery along the railroad.* The Class of 1897 gave the oak trees around the Friends Meeting House and around the Alumni field. Gateways Class Gifts Three gateways around the campus have been donations of classes. The Class of 1889 donated the gateway near the Book and Key house, while the gate to Swarthmore Field is the gift of the Class of 1896, and the one to Alumni Field was given by the Class of 1916. The Sproul observatory was built by former Governor Sproul, '9l, and is one of the best equipped for any small college in the country. Joseph Wharton, member of the Board of Managers from 1870 to 1909 and President for twenty-four years, gave the college Wharton Hall. The girl's gymnasium is the gift of the life members of Somerville.Worth Hall Worth Hall was built by Sharp Worth, '73, and Will Worth, '76, in the memory of their father and mother. The Clothier family is building the Clothier Memorial in honor of Isaac Clothier, member of the Board of Managers for forty-eight years and life-long friend of the college. This is the latest gift to Swarthmore. Robert Pyle, '97, has presented the college with many trees and much of the shrubbery on the campus from time to time. Alumni and classes have made many other contributions to Swarthmore improvement, but most of them have been in the form of financial support.1905 HOLDS REUNION Many Prominent Alumni in 25 Year Class 'Two of the best known alumni of the class of 'O5, which is celebrating its twenty-fifth anniversary this year, are Dr. Phillip Hicks aaid Dr. Louis Robinson. Dr. Hicks is associate professor of English at Swarthmore, and created an enviable reputation for the dramatics department by conducting the classes in One-act play and play production. Dr. Robinson is an expert in criminology and is a lecturer at the college in that subject. One of the prominent women of 'O5 is Alice Paul, vice-president of the National Woman's party and general counsel for the Woman's Research foundation. Lydia Foulke Taylor, another alumna of 'O5, is now a member of the Swarthmore College Board of Managers. Robert Emory Sensenderfer is one of the editors of the Philadelphia Evening Bulletin. Joseph Archer Turner is general superintendent of the Turner Construction company. Edward Morris Bassett is vice-president of Work Company, contractors. Frederick Newlin Price is president of Ferargel, Inc., engineer of illumination and writer on art. He is a dealer in American paintings and sculpture. GiUon Blake, 'l5 Gilson Blake, 'l5, is now the United States consul at Geneva, Switzerland. Since he graduated from college, he has been connected with the consular service in British Guiana and at Ottawa, Canada. During the war he was an ensign in the U. S. N. R. F. COL. FRANK K. HYATT, '07 Who recently became President of the Pennsylvania Military Collage. WILLITS, 'll, EXPERT ON EMPLOYMENT PROBLEMS Began Industrial Research Dept. at U. of Pa. Joseph H. Willits, 'll, who is now professor of industry at the University of Pennsylvania, is an expert on labor and unemployment questions. After his graduation from Swarthmore, Professor Willits taught a class in European municipal governments at his Alma Mater. From 1912 to 1917 he was an instructor of geograpliy and industry at the University of Pennsylvania. He did graduate work at the University at the same time, and in 1912 received his Masters of Arts degree. In 1916 he was granted his Ph.D. degree in economics. In 1915 Dr. Willits was a member of Mayor Blankenberg's commission for the study of unemployment in the city of Philadelphia. It was at this time that lie helped start an association for the discussion of unemployment problems which today is known as the Philadelphia Personnel Association. When Djr Willits returned to the University of Pennsylvania several months later he started what was one of the earliest courses in industrial relations- Special War Stati*tic« During the war Professor Willits was in charge of labor matters at the Naval Aircraft factory, which built naval sea planes for war use. A scarcity of skilled labor and good executives made this problem a very serious one. After the armistice, Mr. Willits was for several months a consultant in industrial relations for the J. H. & C. K. l'.agle company, silk manufacturers. When Dr. Willits returned to the University of Pennsylvania he became assistant professor and head of his department. The following year he was made a full professor. Jn 1921 he started the Department of Industrial Research to which a number of the leading educational foundations have contributed. The purpose of this department is to organize for work in the social sciences and in business just on much the same basis as research in the physical sciences. 1 his department has cooperated in studies with a number of major industries. The department is now engaged in more than twenty studies, among them a study of the unemployment situation in Philadelphia.COL. FRANK HYATT, SWARTHMORE, 07, IS NEW P. M. C. PRESIDENT Succeeds To Petition Upon Death of Father, Chat. Hyatt CUMAXES LONG CAREER Upon the death of his father, President Charles C. Hyatt, Col. Frank K. Hyatt, Swarthmore 'O7, was recently elected to the Presidency of the Pennsylvania Military College by the Board of Trustees of that institution. This climaxed a long and noteworthy career with the college, which began immediately after he took his B.S. in Civil Engineering from Swarthmore in 1907. Col. Hyatt's tirst position at P. M. C. was that of Instructor in Mathematics and Cavalry. After a few years he was made head of the Mathematics department, and in 1916 he was made Vice- President and Treasurer of the college. This position he held until his recent election to the Presidency. Introduced Polo Under his leadership, the enrollment of the college was increased considerably, and he continued to teach cavalry and also act as Director of Athletics. About seven years ago he organized polo at the college, and this has since become the most successful sport at the school, the team meeting the representatives of large universities and invariably turning in commendable performances. The skill attained by the cadets in their cavalry training stands them in good stead in their endeavors on the polo field. Several courses in the curriculum have been brought up to a position of equality with those in any of the smaller colleges in the country. Under Col. Hyatt's direction, the courses in Chemistry, Engineering, Commerce, aiul Finance have all attained this position. Will Get Degree At the commencement this June, President Hyatt will be awerded an ICIY.D. by the college. The exercises are scheduled for the eighteenth of June this year. The Pennsylvania Military College has been developed almost solely under the direction of the Hyatt family. It had its beginnings in a small institution in Wilmington, Delaware, in 1821, and in 1853 the equipment was transferred to Theodore Jlyatt. Soon after he louk over the reins military instruction attained a prominent place in the activities nf the school, and it was recognized as a military school by the Governor of i 1 )elaware. At the time of the Civil War increasing needs for facilities prompted the removal of the school to a more advantageous location at West C hester, Pa. A charter was secured from the Pennsylvania Legislature, ami the institution was organized as the Pennsylvania Military Academy, with Col. Hyatt as President- M ove to Chester In 18CD5 another move was made, the I Academy being shitted to its present I location in Chester. It was not until two years later, however, that a group of Chester citizens organized as the Military Academy Stock Company and purchased land for the present site of the school. In 1882 a disastrous tire necessitated a temporary shift to Kidley Park, hut the present main building was j then erec,ted on the site ot the one which had been destroyed. In 18U2, in order that the name might properly signify that the Board of I rustices was invested with collegiate powers, the name was changed to the present | form, the Pennsylvania Military College. Many Swarthmore Alumni Are Honored By 'Who,s Who'Listing How many Swarthmore graduates are included in Who's Who, that large volume issued every two years which lists and gives the biographies of (living) American men and women who have accomplished some conspicuous achievement? Which class can lay claim to having the largest number of members listed in Who's Who? Phoenix Makes Study To answer those interesting questions, the Phoenix has made an examination of "the alumni record and compared it with Who's Who. While it does not claim that this analysis is absolutely accurate, it will give at least an idea of the number of Swarthmore graduates who have been adjudged distinguished in their particular line of endeavor by this impartial authority. The study was made from the Wlto's Who for 1928-29, and is subject to deaths that may have occurred since the book was published. A new edition of Who's Who is to appear in several months which is'likely to show a number of changes. Altogether thirty-three Swarthmore aluuuu are listed in Who's Who. Twenty»six classes are represented. The first is the class of 1875, and the latest 1919. The inclusion of members of more recent classes is remarkable lor the fact that young men rarely achieve some tiling noteworthy enough lo be listed in this volume. The class of holds the record with three members. The following ( lasses have two members each ; 1888, 188'J, 1890, 1801, 1905 and 1907.. The other eighteen classes have one member each in the book.

get is approximately $30,000 a Deir. the largest of any similar group in the United States. It maintains an office in Pittsburgh with headquarters in Philadelphia, and has a paid, scientifically trained staff which from time to time puts out pamphlets and reports on state and local problems. Besides its state program, it has what is unique in the history of such organizations, a county program, for it believes that the difficulties of the state system could be cleared up if the counties would only do their part well. One of the interesting incidents of Dr. Robinson's career is the fact that when Clair Wilcox, at present Associate Professor of Economics at Swarthmore, was at the University of Pennsylvania, Dr. Robinson was given the authority to find a capable assistant to write the report of the State Parole Commission, of which he was secretary, and he found Dr. Wilcox. The report was accepted by Wilcox's major professors as his doctor's thesis. The two men have been close collaborators in the field of criminology ever since. SWARTHMORE ALUMNUS SUPERVISING WORK ON NEW CRUM CREEK DAM To Insure Constant Flow of Water J For Phila. Suburban District Thomas Hodges, 'O6, is at present engaged in supervising the construction of one of the largest earthen dams in the East, one which compares favorably in size with 'any in the country, the project being carried out at a section of the Cruni Creek situated half way between Media and Newton Square. Air. Hodges, who is the Resident Engineer representing the owners of the dam, the Phila- j delphia Suburban Water company, has j been working on the job since October, I and the final touches are due to be applied by April, 1931. The Crum Creek, which supplies the i water lor many Philadelphia suburbs, | is subject to seasonal irregularities which j create a problem for the water concern, ! and the purpose of this dam is to insure the constant flow of water the year around. There is no pressing need for j such a structure at this time, but it is being built with an eye to future demands for water. To Be Beauty Spot The whole project is one of extreme interest. When completed, it will be an outstanding beauty spot of Delaware county. A forty foot highway will extend across the top of the dam, which is an earthen structure with a concrete core-wall. A 300 foot spillway will add no little to the beauty of the spot. There will be a huge, oak leaf-shaped basin of water, covering an area of 400 acres, i The dam will be 2000 feet long and in wi dt h 400 feet at the base and 70 feet at the top. The dam will be luiilt to a height of 97 feet,'1 while (Do feet are completed at the present time. The dam is being built, according to Air. Hodges, with absolute safety in every respect, for collapse of any section of it would prove disastrous to the surrounding countryside, including Swarthmore. The concrete corewall. wich insures the stability of the huge earthen structure, is firmly imbedded in bed rock I by a string of closely placed grout holes, each twenty feet deep. In the center of the expanse of water there will be a lighthouse, with a keeper's dwelling rising to a height of ten feet alxwe the level of the highway running across the top of the dam. Four billion gallons of water will be impounded by the dam when it is completed, but it will necessarily take some time to fill the basin with water from the Crum. Two hundred days is the minimum time for the basin to be filled, while it may take longer, since there is no need for rushing the process. Will Regulate Flow of Crum Air. Hodges stated that it would lower the level of the water for a time in the section of the Crum which runs through Swarthmore. although it will not detract from the steady flow in any way. The purpose of the dam is merely to store up water for emergency use in keeping the Crum flowing evenly, and a pipe will be laid through the dam for use when water is not flowing over the picturesque spillway. The job, covering a large area, will cost in the neighborhood of two million dollars. Air. Hodges graduated from Swarthmore in 1906 and has been engaged in this kind of work ever since. Until this project he has been connected with the water supply department of the Pennsylvania Railroad, doing numerous similar jobs for that organization." He has specialized in reservoirs and dams, his work taking him over widely separated parts of the country. He has been engaged at various times in Seattle, in Alexico, in Santa Domingo, and in California. in addition to numerous eastern enterprises. The American Pipe and Construction Company is doing the construction work on this dam. Air. Hodges was connected with this same concern earlier in his career, at a time when many Swarthmore men were connected with the organization.He resides at Bala Cynwvd at present. He is married and has two children, a son six years old and a daughter who plans to enter Swarthmore in 1931. SITE OF DAM ACROSS CRUM Progress on construction of core wall on large earthen dam north of Swarthmore for which Thomas Hodges, 'O6, is Resident Engineer. EDWARD B.

She lived in Trenton, New Jersey, until her recent death. MANY CHILDREN OF FRIENDS AND ALUMNI IN CLASS OF '34 A goodly percentage of the incoming freshmen, according to the tentative lists of accepted applicants, are children of alumni or Friends. A total of seventy will matriculate next fall whose parents are Friends, and of this number fortyone are girls and twenty-nine boys. Sixteen boys and fifteen girls whose parents are Alumni of the college will be among the incoming class. Four boys and seven girls have parents who, while lDeing Alumni, are not Friends. Seven boys appear who either have at present or have had in the past, brothers in college, while two boast of sisters in the ranks of the college. Among the girls, there will be two who have or have had sisters and a like number with brothers whose names appear on the college lists. ALUMNAE DISTINGUISHED IN SUFFRAGE MOVEMENT Alice Paul, 'O5, Mabel Vernon, j 'O6, Women's Rights Workers Two Swarthmore alumnae, Alice Paul, 'O5, and Mabel Vernon, 06, have become prominent in the movement of the National Women's Party for "Equal Rights for Men and Women." In 1909 Miss Paul worked for Woman Suffrage in England under Mrs. Pankhurst, and on her return to America continued her work on behalf of the women of the United States. She founded the National Woman's Party to concentrate on gaining suffrage by Federal amendment. Now she is directing an "Equal Rights" campaign, and her latest achievement consists of a. Nationality Report in which she has assembled and commented on the nationality laws of over ninety countries. Mabel Vernon has also devoted herself to the cause of "Equal Rights" and is now the Executive Secretary of the National Woman's Party, which has its headquarters is Washington, D. C.

SWARTHMORE GRADUATES ARE PROMINENT IN MANY BRANCHES OF EDUCATION Large Number of Colleges Have Swarthmoreans on Faculty A number of Swarthmore graduates have taken a prominent role in the educational field. They are to be found in many varied lines of work, as well as in widely scattered institutions of learning.Some of these alumni are : William Marshall, 'BB William Marshall, 'BB, an entomologist of note, has contributed numerous papers on anatomy and embryology of insects to German and American zoological and entomological journals. He is associate professor of entomology at the University of Wisconsin. After graduating from Swarthmore, he studied biology at the University of Pennsylvania and later in Berlin. He received his Ph. D. in 1892 from the University of Leipzig. He became instructor of biology in 1893 and five years later was appointed assistant professor at Wisconsin, where he became associate professor in 1905. He is a member of the A. A. A. S., the American Society of Zoologists, the American Entomological Society and the Wisconsin Academy of Sciences. In addition to his work of teaching, he holds the position of director in the Marshall and Ilsley Bank of Milwaukee.Harry Benkert, 'Ol Harry Benkert, 'Ol, took his B. S. degree from Swarthmore in 1901, following it with a C. E. in 1904. He is living at the University club, State College, Pennsylvania, where he is assistant professor of civil- engineering at Penn State college. After graduating from Swarthmore he taughf' at Drexel before assuming his present position, being professor of civil engineering at the Philadelphia school. Edwin A. Cottrell, 'O7 Edwin Angell Cottrell, 'O7, is professor of political science at Stanford university. After receiving his bachelor of arts degree from Swarthmore, he was an instructor in political science at Pennsylvania State college, and assistant registrar there for several years. He taught at "Harvard, Wellesley and Brown, in the period 1911-16. He received his master of arts degree from Harvard in 1913.

He has been at Stanford since 1919, and has been the head of the political science department'since 1927. He has been a member of the city council, and from 1924-25 was mayor of Palo Alto, California which is President Hoover's home town, as well as the home of Stanford university. Professor Cottrell is a member of numerous political science organizations, as well as municipal and governmental research bureau.Egbert Miles, 'O7 Egbert Miles, 'O7, is another Swarthmore man who has taken a prominent place in the educational field. At present he is an associate professor of mathematics at Yale, having worked up steadily to that position since starting in as instructor. He graduated from Indiana before coming here to get his A. M. degree in 1907, and then returned to Chicago for a P. H. D. in 1910. Walter Frank Rittman, 'O8 Walter Frank Rittman, 'OB, is at present professor of commercial engineering and'head of* the department of commercial engineering at Carnegie Institute of Technology, Pittsburgh. In his long teaching career, he has consistenly followed an aim that is notably worth the effort. He says, "My particular interest in the field of engineering education is to distinctly broaden its scope. Engineering has been too narrow in its dealings primarily with integral signs and logarithm tables. I am trying to develop engineers who are human beings and better able to deal with their fellow humans, and also to know something of the relation of business to engineering." Professor Rittman .received his A. B. at Swarthmore in 1908, then his M, A. tn 1909, M. E. in 1911, and Chem. E. in 1917. He took his Ph. D. at Columbia in 1914. He has been at Carnegie Tech «ince 1921. He was consulting engineer ALEXANDER CUMMINS, '89 PRAISES SWARTHMORE'S EDUCATIONAL SYSTEM Reverend Cummins b Termed Gad-fly of Episcopal Church Dr. Alexander V. G. Cummins, 'B9, is rector of Christ church, Poughkeepsie, New York, arfd editor of "The Chronicle", the liberal monthly magazine of the Protestant Episcopal church. As a student at Swarthmore, he was a prominent member of his class and editor of the "Phoenix." In the May number of The Churchman, Alexander Cummins is called the Gad-fly of the Protestant Episcopal Church."He is the Gad-fly who keeps in a state of perpetual wakefulness a dear , old church that is always dozing off. He has a horror of ecclesiastical despotism, of oppression, and of the Romanization of the church." He is a born fighter and extremely democratic. Rev. Cummins is always urging for reform. Though he is not always right and at times unpopular, there are many who do more harm by their conservatism than one like Rev. Cummins does by being radical. "The persistent fighter for a great principle always suffers the ignominy of being regarded as a nuisance." The author sums up his article by saying that the church would be far poorer "if it were not for the wholesome stings of this redoubtable warrior." Speed Up the Educational Ship Dr. Cummins published an editorial in the May issue of the Chronicle in which he paid a high compliment to President Aydelotte and the educational system of Swarthmore College, at the same time that he criticised the modern college tendency to underestimate scholarship as compared to athletic and extra-curricular activities.

President Aydelotte Main Factor In Bringing Swarthmore Into Prominence The completion of Swarthmore's four million dollar endowment campaign will mark the highest point to date of the meteoric career of one of America's leading educators. From the time when he made touchdowns for Indiana's team to the present day when he is putting across touchdowns of another sort the career of President Frank Aydelotte has been a fast-moving, exciting one. The president of Swarthmore College for the past nine years, he is doing more than any other man toward putting Swarthmore on the educational map. Frank Aydelotte was born in Sullivan, Indiana, in 1880. He prepared for college at the Sullivan, Indiana, High School. He received his A.B. degree from Indiana university. In 1903 he did graduate work at Harvard, and received his A. M. from that institution. In 1905 President Aydelotte entered the University of Oxford as a Rhodes scholar from the State of Indiana, and he received the research degree of Bachelor of Letters there in 1908. He holds honorary degrees from four colleges, the University of Pennsylvania, the University of Pittsburgh, Oberlin, and Allegheny. Ever since he graduated from the University of Indiana, Dr. Aydelotte has been a teacher. He taught English one year at the Southwestern State Normal School at California, Pa., and returned to his Alma Mater as an instructor the next year. He taught two years at the Louisville, Ky., Boys' High School. Upon returning from Oxford in 1908 he became associate professor of English at the University of Indiana, a position which he held for seven years. From 1915 to 1921 he was pra: lessor of English at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. He has been president of Swarthmore college since 1921. Honors Courses Based on His Ideals In various books and articles he has written. Dr. Aydelotte has expressed his educational ideals. He advocates the teaching of English Literature and Composition primarily from the point of view of thought rather than of form. He is in favor of so altering the curriculum and examination system of American instiutions as to emphasize the thorough training of the best students instead of being content with the ! attempt to bring the whole student ' body of an institution up to a lower average. These ideals have been ex-1 pressed in the honors courses which Dr. Aydelotte has introduced and develop- 1 ed since lie has been president of Swarthmore. "I came to Swarthmore with the idea of making the college just as good as it possibly can be. I have done everything I could since to make the college first rate along every line. Our present and future plans are formed with that in mind. Our interest here at Swarthmore is quality rather than size, which I believe is the great need of American education," President Aydelotte said. He added that it was his belief that Swarthmore's work has had an influence on the nation as a whole in the past, and he hopes that this will continue to be true to an even greater extent. Discusses Swarthmore's Future "I am proud, but not satisfied with what has been accomplished here at Swarthmore," he went on. "Swarthmore's development has barely begun. There is a great future ahead "for both the students and the faculty." One of his particular interests, President Aydelotte said, was in the living conditions and the lives of the undergraduates. By increasing the beauty in architecture and natural surroundings on the campus he hopes to add to the attractiveness of life at Swarthmore. This will be accomplished by the Scott Arboretum. He hopes that it will be possible to furnish more adequate rooms, and dining quarters to accomplish this. An attractive and enjoyable social life is one of his aims, for. he says, this side of life is as important as the intellectuaJ side. President Aydelotte has a keen interest in athletics. Although he did not go out for sports before he entered college, he went out for the football team at Indiana, and made the team during his latter two years. He played right end. He was chosen by experts as a member of several allstate football teams. He also went out for track at college. When he was at Oxford he played rugby football on the Brasenoes college team. He rowed on this same college's crew. Coached Undefeated Football Team When he was a teacher at the Louisville Boys High School he coached the football team for two years. He is very proud of the fact that dunng the second year the team was not only unde- DR. FRANK AYDELOTTE feated, but was not scored on. He attributes this record to his policy of never overtraining, of thoroughness of training in simple formations, and the use of speed in defense and attack. President Aydelotte now takes his exercises in the form of golf. Besides his work for Swarthmore, President Aydelotte has a number of outside committees. He has been the American secretary to the Rhodes trustees since 1918. He is chairman of the educational advistory committee of the Guggenheim Memorial Foundation which annually grants fellowships for advanced research work in scholarly subjects and creative work in the fine arts. A high standard has been maintained by this foundation. Several holders of fellowships have received Nobel prizes, and two have written "Books of the Month." This summer President Aydelotte will go to South America to make preparations for the exchange of fellowships with South American countries. Last summer he made a trip to Mexico for the same purpose. Interested in Quakerism Since coming to Swarthmore, President Aydelotte has become very interested in the history and ideals of Quakerism. He has made7 a number of addresses on George Fox and other Quaker leaders. During the war President Aydelotte was National Director of the War Issues Course in the Committee on Education and Special Training of the War Department. He is a trustee of the Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching, of the Teachers' Insurance and Annuity Association, and of the World Peace Foundation. For seven years Dr. Aydelotte was editor of the American Oxonian, a quarterly published by the Alumni Association of American Rhodes Scholars. He has written more than seven books 011 Oxford life, on the teaching of college English, and on honors courses in American colleges. Who predicts a real future ahead for Swarthmore students and faculty. MORTAR BOARD ANNOUNCES ORIENTATION WEEK PLANS Plans for Orientation Week, September 14-17, have been announced by Mortar Board.

FIRST YEAR OF STUDY ON UNEMPLOYMENT PROBLEM IS PURELY PREPARATION Organizatioa Plans To Study Three Phases Of The Problem Paul Douglas, lately of the University of Chicago, in a recent interview explained that his first year's work here at Swarthmore on the question of unemployment had been primarily "to break the ground." He spent the year developing his plans and his organization for the future, for he said that he hoped the work would be permanent and that it would not be disbanded when prosperity returns. Work is Consultive He explained that his organization would deal not only with local problems but with those all over the country. The purpose of the studies is to be able to furnish a consulting bureau for manufacturers. At no time will they undertake any real executive work, or personally attempt to place any unemployed men. He describes his program with three catch words, the first one is Stabilization. His organization will study the ways, means, and methods by which they may smooth the production curve. They hope to take the pits and peaks out of the curve artd so alleviate seasonal and technological unemployment. The clothing industry is a notable ■example of rush work part of the year and. very little for the rest. He has been asked by one of the Cleveland Manufacturers' organizations to try and solve their problems. In many similar individual cases the organization will either help directly or send information. The second point of his plan is Placement. Dr. Douglas cited the tremendous inefficiency and waste in our employment agencies. At the present time thefP" is both a lack of coordination and duplication of effort. Under our present system there may be considerable unemployment in one town with plenty of jobs two hundred miles away, with no coordinated efforts on the part of these agencies. He would attempt to remedy the trouble by placing skilled men in charge of the agencies, men who were experts in the line rather than the present type of untrained men. The third feature of his study consists of Protection. This includes not only Workmen's Compensation for accidents and sickness but also Group Insurance, Old Age pensions and Unemployment Insurance. They will try to get the manufacturers to see the benefits of giving their employees these forms of protection. Paul H. Douglas Well Prepared Paul Howard Douglas stands high in the field of Industrial Relations. In 1918, after receiving his M.A. from Columbia, he worked in that line for the Emergency Fleet Corporation. He has been connected with the Economics departments of Reed college, the Universities of Washington and Chicago, and Amherst since he started teaching in 1916. In 1921 he wrote a book called, American Apprenticeship and Industrial Education. He is part author of The Worker in Modern Economic Society as well as his own book, Wages and the Family, which was published in 1925.

GARNET BALL PLAYERS HAVE GREAT SEASON WINNING EIGHT Defeat Haverford Twice, Amherst, Delaware, Hampden-Sydney, Stevens and Rutgers The 11'30 baseball team had one of the most successful seasons in Swarthmore's baseball annals when it won eight games, lost four and tied one. Two overwhelming victories over Haverford led the list of impressive wins. Other teams to bow to the Garnet were Amherst. Rutgers, Stevens, Hampden-Sydney, Delaware and Penn A. C. Swarthmore lost to Penn, Gettysburg, Dickinson and Ursinus and' tied the Army team. ® Coach Dunn's team gave a forecast of its successful season when it won its first game with Penn. A. C. by a 9 to 5 score. Burton and Cookenbach divided the pitching honors and Schembs and Sipler showed promise when they connected for home-runs. The second game was the start of a three-game losing streak when the Garnet lost successively to Penn, Gettysburg and Dickinson. The Penn bats hammered out a 17 to 3 victory, while the Garnet was getting four hits. In the Gettysburg game played at Gettysburg the Garnet was again held to four hits when Utz, the star Gettysburg pitcher, hurled a 5 to 0 shut-out. The next day the team journeyed to Carlisle and came out on the wrong end of a 4 to 3 score. In this game the Swarthmore bats were still silent, only four hits being chalked up. Of these four Johnson got two, a double and a single. Six Game Winning Streak The McCloskey-managed-men got back in the win column when rattling out eleven hits they defeated Stevens' 9 to c\ Cookenbach pitched a good game, getting ten strike-outs and allowing only seven hits. Schembs led the team in batting with three hits, one of them being a home run. Sipler and Christian also hit the ball hard, each getting a home run. In the next game the Garnet bats were still in form and Hampden-Sydney w as opt slugged 11 to 5. This game was very poorly played, the home team making eight errors and the visitors nine. Dellmuth. the first man up in the second, hit one over the left held bank and this was the start of a seven run rally. This put the game on ice and Burton just coasted along, never being in any danger. Amherst®, fresh from a 2to 0 win over Princeton was defeated in the next game 8 to 3. Cookenbach pitched another good game, only giving them seven hits. Christian and Cookenbach led the Garnet in batting with two hits each. The game was decided in the early innings when in the first the Garnet drove over three runs and in the second two. Dellmuth and Johnson al so played good ball. Delaware had been having a good season until they played the Garnet. They went home with a 10 to 3 defeat. Fifteen hits were garnered by the Swarthmore batsmen. Johnson and Dellmuth and Stetson hit home runs. Dawes, Johnson, .Schembs, Stetson, Redman and Burton got two bingles; apiece. Burton held Delaware well in j hand until the third inning, when they scored all their three runs. Haverford Downed Twice in Week Swarthmore defeated its traditional rivals in a game at Haverford 9 to 3. Cookenbach held Haverford at his mercy when he allowed only six hits, i In the eighth "Cooky" loosened up and Haverford scored their three runs. J SUMMARY Johnson led the offensive with a home run and a single. Sipler was credited with a triple and a pretty single. Rutgers was the sixth straight team to bow to the Garnet when they lost 11 to 7. Swarthmore got twelve hits, Dawes, Johnson, Schembs, Redman and Burton getting two each. Burton hit a home run in ,the eighth inning with two men on. In the fifth every man batted once and two men twice, the team getting six runs. After a three day rainy period the team traveled to Collegeville and lost to Ursinus 7 to 1. The team was completely off form and was not able to hit the ball at all. Place, the Ursinus pitcher, hurled a steady game. Young, MANAGER McCLOSKEY the center fielder, made two pretty catches, robbing Johnson of a home run. In the second Haverford game Swarthmore completely outclassed the other Quaker school. While the Garnet was piling up sixteen hits the Red and Black could only get four from Cookenbach. The final score was 13 to 2. Johnson led in" hitting with four hits, three singles and a double. In a big fifth inning seven runs crossed the plate for Swarthmore. The last of the inter-collegiate competition was with the Army team. The Garnet went to West Point and when rain forced the players from the field the score was 1 to 1. Burton pitched a cool game and in the nine innings gave only seven hits. The Garnet scored in the ninth on two hits and Army tied it up in their half on an error and a single.

The game was a pitcher's duel from the first inning until the end of the ninth when a heavy down-pour rained out the game. Burton, the Garnet twirler, allowed only seven hits and not a run until the end of the ninth inning. This run was made on an error and a hit. Schembs led Swarthmore in hitting with two singles. Swarthmore nearly had a run in the first. With one down, Christian*doubled but was forced out a minute later on Johnson's infield ball, came through with a single but with two on Sipler failed to connect. From then until the ninth there were no opportunities to score. Johnson, first man up in the ninth, connected for a double and Schembs drove him home with a single. The rally ended when Landry, the Army pitcher, fanned the next two men and McCracken fled to second. In the last of the ninth with the rain threatening the West Pointers pushed over a run. An error by the center-fielder and second baseman together with -a clean single tied the score and robbed the Garnet of a victory. Seniors Defeat Faculty The Faculty, fighting hard to uphold its reputation, Went down to al6to 6 defeat at the hands of the revengeful Seniors on May 27. The faculty featuring Dunn as pitcher, Walters as catcher, Mercer on first, Moore on second, Thatcher at short, Whitworth at third, and a sterling outfield of Anderson, Mathews and Wright was not able to hold the slugging seniors. In the third inning Stokes walked, Hammell singled, Henry Coles singled, McDiarmid flied out to Anderson, LeCron doubled, Strong walked, McCloskey singled and Marvin Coles singled, scoring five runs. In the fifth inning, which was the last, the seniors pounded in seven runs. Everyman on the team got a hit and Dunn's arm was coming up with every pitch. Thatcher's double, Mercer's hitting and head-first slides, Walter's base-running and throws to second were the features for the faculty. Mercer. half way between second and third went into a beautiful slide and came up where Henry Coles wasn't looking. In the fifth the desperate faculty made four runs. Thrfce hits, three walks and Anderson being hit by LeCron, the pitcher, contributed to the faculty's runmaking. HOCKEY SCHEDULE FOR 1930 Oct. 11—Swarthmore Club at Swarthmore.

SWARTHMORE TRACK MEN WIN THREE OUT OF FIVE MEETS Lose Close Meets to Haverford and Lehigh; Set New Record in One-Mile Relay A veteran Swarthmore track team, with only one letterman gone from the previous season met success in only three of the five meets, but had tough luck against both Lehigh and Haverford, losing both by the narrowest of margins. The former meet score was 64 to 62 while against Haverford, the Garnet went down to a 62 1/6 to 61 5/6 margin. A Swarthmore relay team set a new record of 3 minutes 27 seconds for the Class B. Middle Atlantic Mile Relay event to win easily. The college record for the 220 yard dash was tied by Poole in the Haverford meet when he ran the distance in seconds. Parrish tied the low hurdles mark by running the low hurdles in 25 seconds in the same meet. The main strength of the Garnet team lay in the sprinters with Alden and Poole amassing a large total of points in every meet. Captain Parrish captured firsts in every meet except one, and Biddle was also a consistent point winner throughout the ltKthe 440 yard dash Brown was frfsflh everV meet after the opener and his fbur years of collegiate competition with a) 50M/5 seconds quarter ii\the Middle Atlantics at Haverford. Gypach Mercer discovered a dependableHuUf miler in Willis, a freshman and Schopi runner. Willis came in fim in txery meet and equal- I led the freshmap record of 2 minutes 2 IYs seconds. Boyer was the best miler I and ran up a lot of Garnet points. Captain-elect Lippincott was the mainstay in the field events, winning the shot and discus events with regularity in the dual and triangular meets. Alstaetter in the shot and discus, Hicks, in the javelin, ; Tomassetti in the broad jump, Noyes in the broad jump, Stickney in the high jump, March in the pole vault, Walker in the low hurdles, Atkiss in the 440, and Booser in the two mile were the other letter winners. Season Summary The college cindermen .opened the 1930 : season with an easy triumph over Drexel and Delaware on April 15. Capturing ten firsts for a total of 79l/i points, the best Delaware could do was and | Drexel 'got third honors with Captain Parrish was the only dual winde6 of the afternoon with a first in both hurdle events. The" second win of the year was chalked up the following Saturday against the i Dickinson team in a one sided meet. I The final count was to The i heavy rains of the previous day made the track rather slow, but even so, the j Garnet track men ploughed through for 1 eleven out of fourteen first places. Two college records and one carnival ' record were broken by Swarthmore re! presentatives at the thirty sixth annual | Penn Relay carnival at Franklin Field. On Saturday afternoon a team composed jof Alden, Atkiss, Parrish and Brown, running in that order, established a New \ Penn mark of 3 minutes 27 seconds, clipping I¥s seconds off the old | record made by the Swarthmore relay team of 1925. TKis mark is also a new college record. In the Quarter Mile Relay Championship of America on Friday, the Garnet quartet also set a new i college record of 43 4/5 seconds, al- I though not winning the event, r Tng team j composed of Tomassetti, Brown, Poole i and Alden running in that order finished sixth in a field of nineteen, defeating . such teams as Penn and Colombia. The event' was won by Ohio State with George Simpson, the famous sprinter running anchor. ' The following Wednesday the Garnet cindermen lost a meet to the Lehigh teaqj 64 to 62. Although the home team captured eight out of fourteen firsts, the inability to take seconds and thirds was fatal. The visitors displayed their greatest strength in the field events. MANAGER EDEN Capturing nine out of fourteen first places, the track team vanquished the Johns Hopkins cindermen 68 to 58 in a dual meet at Homewood field, Baltimore, on Saturday, May 10. Captain Parrish was high scorer for Swarthmore, totaling ten points by winning both the high and low hurdle. In this meet Willis equalled the freshman record for the half mile. Haverford-Swarthmore Meet A closer track competition has never been witnessed in the history of Swarthmore-Haverford relations. Two evenly matched teams displayed their best in track and field events but at the end of the two hour duel it was Swarthmore who had lost out by Yz of a point. The consolation was that the CSttle Quakers had captured eight out of fourteen first places. The inability to take the majority of the others proved fatal. Poole and Captain Parrish equalled the college record in the 220 yard dash and low hurdles in that order. In both the dashes Swarthmore captured all three places. Morris, Haverford's star field man, captured firsts in the shot and discus. Swarthmore did not live up to predictions in, the M. A. S. C. A. A. capturing only seventeen points for seventh place. Parrish got second in both the high and low hurdles for high Garnet scorer while Alden breasted the tape in front in the 100 yard dash with Poole fifth, Biddle also placed fourth in the high hurdles. Next Year's Outlook Coach Mercer will lose most of the outstanding track men by graduation. Pairish, Alden, Poole, Brown, Boyer, Thomson will be missed next year. The coach will have to build up a new aggregation around the freshman from this years team. Manager of the 1930 track team which had a successful season.

SPRING SPORTS TEAMS BALANCE THIRT NEWLY FORMED GOLF TEAM WINS SIX, DROPS THREE AND TIES ONE Conquer Haverford, Lafayette Villanova and Delaware and Tie Penn The Swarthmore golf team has completed, with its final triumph over the Lansdowne Country Club forces, a highly successful season. During the course of the season the Garnet links representatives won six matches, dropped three, and tied one. The tie match was with Pennsylvania, wherein each team scored three points. Opening the season, Swarthmore put forward a lineup composed of the cocaptains, Bob Testwuide and Bill Kirsch, along with Pyle and Curtiss, the latter a freshman. This team, starting out by trimming Delaware by a six to nothing count, remained intact throughout the season, being augmented by the addition of Lewis and Donahower for some of the matches. After Delaware was tripped up, a well balanced Georgia Tech team visited Swarthmore as part of its itinerary in this region and defeated the Garnet shotsmen by a score of 5 to 1. All the matches were close in this encounter, Bill Kitsch scoring Swarthmore's lone point by winning his individual match. No match was decided by a large margin, and the score is not indicative of the relative strength of the two teams. Following this setback, Swarthmore handed out severe lacings to Lafayette and Franklin and Marshall, only to run into another stumbling block in Penn State, which team proved an unhospitable host, sending the invading Swarthmoreans back home bearing the stigma of a 5 to 1 reverse Haverford, the traditional foe, was next on the slate, and the Garnet swingers took deligh,t in belittling their opponents by a 6-3 verdict. Villanova was then repulsed by the decisive score of 8 to 1. Springhaven Country Club proved another nemesis, winning out by to V/z. The season was finished by the tie score with Penn and the impressive conquest at the expense of the Lansdowne aggregation. The prospects for a continuance of this winning play next spring are remarkably bright. Testwuide, Kirsch, Pyle, Curtiss, Lewis, and Donahower, the regular players this year, are all eligible for further competition, and ~"lChey should put up an even stronger front in 1931. GARNET LACROSSEMEN LOSE TO ST. JOHNS IN SEASON'S FINALE, 10-1 Second-Half Barrage of Goals Proves Too Much for Swart hmore The Garnet lacrossemen went down under a second-half barage of goals to lose the last game of the season to St. Johns by a 10-1 score, Saturday, May 24. St. Johns kept possession of the ball practically the entire game, and its failure to cash in a number of opportunities prevented the score from mounting up higher. McVaugh played a good game at goal and stopped a number of difficult shots, but the chief Garnet defect was in the midfield, especially the defense. The close defense played well, although the fact that the St. Johns offense kept the ball so much tired themoofuf by the second half, but the midfield defense continually lost the ball and showed a glaring inability to •clear the ball down to the close attack. Haviland scored the Garnet goal, during one of the few times that the close attack had the ball, on a pretty extraman play, receiving the ball from Gould. St. Johns Opens Scoring Wagner cleared the ball out nicely from center on the opening face-off but the St. Johns defense intercepted it. After McVaugh stopped several shots Carpenter, third defense, scored on a shot from the side, with only four "minutes of the half over. Two minutes later Gould came down the center, passed his man, and as Haviland's man came out to take him passed to Haviland, open, who scored the first and only Garnet goal. This tied the score at 1-1. Russell received two minutes for slashing, and his man scored the next goal after running around the goal and working a block play. Rushmore was substituted for Jones. No more scoring was done for a while, until near the end Pool, high scoring St. Johns home, worked the block play again after running around from behind the goal. This maCJe the half-time score 3-1. Swart hmore Demoralized Pool started the St. Johns scoring shortly after the beginning of the second period. Two minutes later Cornbrook, second defense, scored to bring the score to 5-1. This shot hit in the corner of the goal and was impossible to stop. From this time on, although Coach Strohbar substituted his entire squad, the Garnet played raggedly and couldn't get going. St. Johns scored its next five goals at regular intervals and almost at will, as the Garnet attack handled the ball only once or twice the whole "second half. Hoff, Cornbrook, Zeigler, McCarter and Pool accounted for the last five goals. LACROSSE MEN FACING DIFFICULT SCHEDULE WIN ONLY TWO GAMES RETIRING CAPTAINS Erratic Team Defeats Penn and Lafayette, Upset by Army, St. Johns and Lehigh The/1930 Garnet lacrosse team suffered a ratjper disastrous season, winning only two out of the nine contests in which it participated. The result of the season was rather surprising in view of the large number of former lettermen available, but the strength of the opposing teams was partially responsible for the poor season. Defeat Penn and Lafayette Penn and Lafayltte we're the two teams defeated by the Garnet, the Penn game being decided only in the last minute of play. Lehigh, Oxford-Cambridge, Yale, Johns Hopkins, Stevens, Army and St. John's triumphed over the Garnet during the course of the season A regular junior varsity schedule was played this year for the first time and a record of two wins and one defeat was hung up. Penn A. C. and Severn School were defeated and the Washington college varsity was the only team to defeat the jayvees. Benny Haviland and Captain Heward led the scoring with eight and seven goals, respectively, although Heward did not play in the Lafayette game because of his injured knee. Pike and Harlan each scored three goals, Gould and Passmore two apiece, and Russell and Wagner each accounted for one score. Keefer, captain-elect, and Mahon played well at the close defense positions, while Mc- Vaugh played a consistently good game at goal all season, stopping many difficult shots in every game. Lose First Four The first four games resulted in defeats. Lehigh was the first opponent on the schedule. The game was played away during spring vacation and resulted in a 4-2 win for Lehigh. The Brown and white held a 3-0 half time lead and although Heward and Haviland's goals allowed the Garnet to outscore its opponents in the .second half the rally started too late to be effective. CAPTAIN-ELECT KEEFER The strong Oxford-Cambridge team displayed superior teamwork and stickwork, having little diffifculty in scoring an 8-3 victory. The Garnet played one of its best games of the season in this game. The British team depended upon plays and skillful stick work rather than on a hard checking game and gave the best exhibition of lacrosse seen on Alumni field during the course of the season. Heward, Russell and Passmore scored the Swarthmore goals, all of which came in the second half. Yale completely outplayed the Garnet in „the first half to gain a 6-0 half time lead in the game .played at New Haven. The Strobahr men came back after the half to hold the EHs on even terms, Heward and Wagner each scoring. The Johns-Hopkins game was hard fought throughout, and although the Blue Jays gained a 2-0 lead in the first half the Garnet came back and tied the score in the second period. The two teams played on even terms a while and then toward the end Hopkins scored the two goals that gave them a 4-2 victory. Whitey Heward scored both Garnet goals. Defeat Penn Captain Heward's second goal of the afternoon when only a half-minute of play was left enabled the Garnet to break its losing streak and hand Penn a 5-4 defeat. Penn led at the helf, 2-1, but the Little Quakers took the lead at 3-2 shortly after the beginning of the Captain. Redman, Parish, Heward, and Hammell, who led their team, through difficult schedules thi» spring Who hopes to better this season's lacrosse record next year. SUMMARY second period. Two Penn goals took the lead which it held until within three minutes of the end. Pike scored then to tie the score and Heward came through with the winning goal. Haviland and Gould scored the other Swarthmore goaLs. A poorly played game at Hoboken resulted in a 2-1 victory for Stevens. None of the fire and spark of the Penn game was evidenced in this game. Stevens scored their goals in the first half and in the second half the Garnet rallied somewhat, but Gould's goal was the only score. Army handed the team its only shutout of the season at West point the next Saturday. The West Pointers had little trouble and used a large number of subs, winning 7-0. Lafayette Furnishes Second Victory Lafayette fell before the Garnet attack the next week, 11-3, the game being played at Swarthmore. The entire team seemed to function in an improved manner but the weakness of the Lafayette aggregation aided considerably in this. Haviland lead the scoring with five goals. Harlan garnered three, Pike two and Passmore one. Heward was kept out of this game by a knee injury he received at Army. The second half spurt of the powerful St. John's team allowed them to run up seven goals and increase a 3-1 halftime lead to a 10-1 victory. Haviland scored the only Garnet goal in this game. This defeat closed the rather disastrous season.FOUR SWARTHMOREANS ENTER TENNIS INTERCOLLEGIATES Four Swarthmore netmen will play in the annual Intercollegiates to be held the week of June 23 at the Merion Cricket Club, Haverford. They are Thomas Nicely, '3O, Hugh McDiarmid, '3O, Bertram Hammell, '3O, and Richard C. Bond, '3l. Nicely and Hammell will also play together in the doubles. One hundred and twenty entrants from colleges all over the country will participate in the tournament. T-he Intercollegiates were won two years ago by Julius Seligson who will play again this year. Bell, who won the tournament last year, has gone to Europe with the Davis Cup team and so will not be able to participate this year. SWARTHMORE ARCHERY TEAM WINS INTERCOLLEGIATE MEET The women's archery team placed first in an intercollegiate telegraphic archery meet held on May 17. The scores of the competing colleges were Swarthmore, 743, Connecticut, 729, and Tufts, 466. Connecticut College was in charge of the tournament. Alice Wardell, '3l, was captain and manager of the Garnet team. SPRING SPORTS PCT, COOKENBACH LEADS GARNET HITTERS; SCHEMBS SECOND Dealing a severe blow to the theory that pitchers are impotent batsmen, Johnny Cookenbach, stellar Swarthmore hurler, established himself as the leading batter on the team as well, pounding out an average of .363 for the season which recently closed. Immediately behind him came Bob Schembs, the hefty freshman star, who proved the most effective of the regular hitters by hitting for a mark of .362, a mere fraction of a point away from the pitcher's, standard. The race between the two was extremely close, with Cookenbach getting eight safeties in twenty-two attempts, and Schembs making seventeen safe blows out of forty-seven chances. Schembs, with his frequent extra-base clouts, was easily the more destructive of the two, but Cookenbach cannot be denied the distinction of leading the team in the averages. Closely behind this pair, Howard Johnson, senior first baseman, sported a mark of .333, followed by Christian with .279 and Captain Bob Redman with .270. VICTORIES OVER RUTGERS AND GETTYSBURG FINISH GARNET TENNIS SEASON Undefeated Tennis Team Makes Clean Sweep of Both Matches Swarthmore's undefeated tennis team concluded its season by victories oyer Gettysburg and Rutgers. The visiting Gettysburg courtmen were conquered, 9-0, on Thursday, May 22, and the Rutgers netmen suffered defeat by the same score at New Brunswick the following Saturday. This concluded the Garnet's season of thirteen victories. Gettysburg Succumbs The Gettysburg courtmen were easily overcome by the Garnet players in their last home performance. Captain Hammell's three set victory over Hood was one of the features of the match when after splitting even on the two first sets, the Garnet number one player overcame a four game lead in the deciding set to win, 6-4. The first doubles match was also hard fought with the Garnet combination finally defeating the crack Gettysburg team of Hood and Laucr, 11-9, 6-3. The remainder of the matches were much easier for Swarthmore with none of them going to more than the necessary two sets. Rutgers Win Ends Season The Swarthmore tennis team overwhelmed the Rutgers combination on the following Saturday, 9 to 0, to conclude the season. The new Brunswick representatives offered little opposi! tion to the visiting Quaker netmen and ! none of the matches went over two sets. Captain Hammell won from Nannes, his Rutgers opponent, 8-6, 6-1. Tom Nicely took his singles, 6-4, 6-2, and Hugh McDiarmid had an easy time to win 6-2, 6-3. Dick Bond remained un[ defeated in singles by overcoming his i man, 6-1, 8-6. Ted Lapham and Ted Lynn both won their singles, 6-2, 7-5, and | 6-2, 6-0. TENNIS TEAM SWEEPS ALL OF ITS THIRTEEN MATCHES Hammell, Nicely, McDiarmid, Bond, Lapham And Lynn Prove Winning Sextet The Swarthmore college tennis team has completed a most successful season with thirteen wins and no losses to its credit. The Garnet netmen dropped only thirteen matches during the entire season as opposed to the ninety-nine that they won. This year's schedule was probably as difficult as any that a Swarthmore team ha£ had in recent years and included many of the leading college tennis teams of this part of the country. Under the leadership of Captain Bert Hammell and the direction of Coach Faulkner, the Little Quaker -net aces went through Manager Lapham's sched- Dick Bond, Captain-elect, went the season undefeated while Nic Lynn had clean records till latC season. McDiarmid and Laph but few hard fought matches . many decisive victories to their credit. Start Season Well The Swarthinore netmen started their season well by capturing their first match from Delaware, 9-0, on April 11. On the following day they entertained the Temple players and came out ahead, 6-3. The next week a journey to West Point resulted in a 7-2 victory over Army, while a match was called off with New \.ork University because of wet courts. Two sweeping victories followed over Franklin and Marshall and Johns Hopkins when the Swarthmore courtment won all their matches. The Lehigh encounter was next on the schedule and it took a hard battle for the Little Quakers to emerge on the long end of a 7-2 score. The Seligson-Hammell match featured the day, when the Lehigh number one player won in two difficult sets. Several of the other matches were hard fought. The Garnet had an easier time against Ursinus and Haverford and chalked up two wins, 6-0 and 9-0. Another 7-2 victory resulted from the Cornell contest, with Bucknell being the second victim of that week, 7-0. Penn Match Hard The Penn match was the hardest oi the season and the score of 5-4 was the closest of the year. The Swarthmore captain lost to Lavine but the following four singles were Garnet points. Nicely. Bond and Lapham won in straight sets while Lynn was taking a defeat in like manner. McDiarmid had a much harder time and finally won a three set battle The doubles matches were hard with Penn taking two. The Little Quakei first doubles won, 6-2, 3-6, 6-3, on some very spirited playing by McDiarmid. Bond and Nicely lost in three sets, 8-6, 4-6, 6-1 and Lapham and Lynn dropped a two set decision. The season closed the following week with victories over Gettvsburg and Rutgers both bv scores of 9-0. MANAGER LAPHAM I ule in fine style. They overcame teams j from Delaware, Temple, Army, Frank; lin and Marshall, Johns Hopkins, Le-1 high, Ursinus, Haverford, Cornell, Buck-; nell, Penn, Gettysburg, and Rutgers.! Matches with Penn A. C. and N. Y. U. were cancelled because of weather conditions.First Doubles Stars The first doubles team of Captain Hammell and McDiarmid went through the season undefeated and conquered such doubles combinations as those of Lehigh,l Penn, Rutgers and Gettysburg. The, Penn doubles team of Lavine and Kar-1 don, who were indoor intercollegiate \ champions this last year, fell before the raquets of the Garnet aces in a three' set encounter. The Lehigh doubles team ' featuring Seligson, intercollegiate single champion, and the first doubles teams j of Rutgers, which had not beelTxlefeated during the season, and of Gettysburg, which had a string of twenty-three con- j secutiye victories in the last two years,' were also victims of-Hammell and Mc-j Diarmid. Captain Hammell lost but two singles during the season to Captain Seligson of j Lehigh, who has not been defeated in an intercollegiate tennis singles match, and Captain Lavine of Penn. Both matches were hard fought and Hammell's injured knee largely accounted for his 6-3, 6-4, setback at the hands of the Red and Blue leader. SUMMARY Playing manager whose racquet wielders were undefeated.
