M., in the Union Auditorium, with the President, Charles J. Rhoads, '93, in the chair. It was carried that the roll call and the previously published minutes be omitted from the order of business. THE THOMAS WISTAR BROWN LIBRARY It was unanimously carried that the following minute be adopted by the Association with regard to changing the name of the College Library. The following, having received the cordial approval of President Sharpless, Professor Allen C. Thomas, '65, Librarian, and many other Alumni, will be submitted at the Annual Meeting: "Whereas, the late T. Wistar Brown, President of the Board of Managers of Haverford College, was for over half a century a continuous and most generous benefactor of the institution; and "Whereas, the present Library building was built in 1864 by members of this Association, and then named Alumni Hall; and "Whereas, large additions have been added to the building, principally through the generosity of T. Wistar Brown, and also large endowments have been given by him for the benefit of the Library: " Therefore, be it resolved by the Alumni Association of Haverford College (the Board of Managers concurring) that this building and its additions be named the 'Thom- as Wistar Brown Library'; that a suitable Memorial Tablet be placed therein, and also the best obtainable portrait of him be hung there." Upon the opening of Roberts Hall thirteen years ago, — — 6 HAVERFORD COLLEGE Alumni Hall automatically ceased to exist, the library absorbing the entire building and its extensions; and it has since been known as "The Library." REPORT OF THE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE Your Executive Committee respectfully reports as follows : The regular business of the Association has received careful attention from the committee and has been conducted, we hope, in a manner satisfactory to the Association. The Twenty-ninth Annual Dinner of the Association was held at the Bellevue-Stratford Hotel on Saturday evening, January 29th, 1916. It was attended by about two hundred persons, somewhat less than last year. The Association is indebted to the following speakers for addresses: President Sharpless; Dr. Charles Alexander Richmond, President Union College, Schenectady, New York; Dr. Walter Rauschenbusch, Professor of Church History, Rochester Theological Seminary, Rochester, New York. We have again to report a deficit on account of the dinner, as shown by the Treasurer's Report, of $146.40, and in this connection would call the attention of the Association to the Treasurer's Report and the need of further support from the body of Alumni to the finances of the Association. As was recommended by last year's committee, the Bellevue-Stratford has again been engaged for the last Saturday in January, 1917 (that is January 27th), and we recommend that next year's committee do the same for 1918. The arrangements for Alumni Day have been com- pleted by a special committee and it is hoped that — HAVERFORD COLLEGE improvement has been made in preparing and serving the supper and that the members of the Association will assist this effort by passing out of the dining-room where the supper is to be served as soon as they obtain their portions. Your secretary has recently communicated with the secretary of the New England Association, the New York Association, the Baltimore Association and the Chicago Association, from whom the attached reports of the activities of these associations have been obtained. The chairmen of all committees have been requested to prepare reports for this meeting. The deaths of the following matriculates have come to the notice of the secretary during the past year: Coleman L. Nicholson 1850. 1-16-1915 Alexander A. Richmond ex-1854 10-15-1915 Joseph R.

HAVERFORD SOCIETY OF MARYLAND FOR THE YEARS 1915-16 HEN the Society was organized more than a decade ago, the men responsible for the or- ganization had in mind two distinct purposes which the Society should attempt to fulfil. The first purpose was social. The proposed Society was to be a means of assembling all Haverfordians in the immediate vicinity for their own personal benefit and pleasure, with Haverford, its mutual friendships and memories, the background and binding force. The second purpose was that of furnishing a co-operative organization to make more effectual the spreading of the name of Haverford. These two purposes still subsist and the activities of the present year were suggested and pro- moted with a view to their continuance. The Society has served still another purpose which is both a by- product of, and an incentive for, the two first mentioned. This by-product is the keeping of the Alumni, old and young, in closer touch with the College. The annual dinner of the Society was held at the University Club in Baltimore on March 31st. There were some thirty-five persons present. The head- masters of two of Baltimore's preparatory schools, Mr. Eugene R. Smith, of the Park School, and Mr. Woodruff Marston, of the University School for Boys, attended the dinner and afterwards spoke to the members of the Society on educational topics. The fathers of several prospective Haverfordians had also been invited, and attended the dinner. Dr. Richard M. Gummere, of the College Faculty; Frank W. Cary, of the Senior Class, and Douglas Waples, '14, were the other speakers. The selection of the speakers and guests was made in obvious reference to the purposes of the Society. With Dr. Henry M. Thomas as toastmaster, the evening was HAVERFORD COLLEGE 9 conducted to the satisfaction of all who attended. The Baltimore quartette and a Stieff pianola were called upon to entertain the diners.

  • O. O. Mcintyre Broadway Populist 79
    o. o. mcintyre broadway populist e. I. huddleston Editors and publishers given to exploiting the nostalgia craze might consider resurrecting Odd (pronounced "Ud") Mcintyre, for his appeal would be broad. Many Americans under fifty would laugh at how his kitsch could enjoy the widespread acceptance it did; those over fifty would relish meeting an old acquaintance on a sentimental journey to yesteryear; and students of mass culture, regardless of age, would find clues in his enormous popularity to help explain a persistent naivete in those citizens Mencken characterized as the "booboisie" and who today go as middle America or the "new majority." In the two decades between World Wars Oscar Odd Mcintyre sus­ tained a formula with his 800-word column "New York Day by Day" that made him the highest paid and the "most widely enjoyed newspaper feature writer of his time," reaching (as a conservative estimate) over seven million readers daily and Sunday.1 Additionally, his monthly piece for Cosmopolitan ran from 1922 to his death in 1938, and his "best" columns and essays were gathered into four books in the 1920's and '30's. Warner Brothers even planned a movie based on his life, which his sudden death aborted.2 Amid the turbulence of the Jazz Age human interest reporting seemed to most editors the surest bet for building circulation amid tough competition, and columnists became national institutions. Among the leaders—Arthur Brisbane ("Today"), Franklin P. Adams ("The Conning Tower"), Christopher Morley ("Bowling Green"), Heywood Broun ("It Seems To Me")—Mcintyre occupied a prominent if not wholly deserved place.

  • Christopher Morley - Poems
    Classic Poetry Series Christopher Morley - poems - Publication Date: 2012 Publisher: Poemhunter.com - The World's Poetry Archive Christopher Morley(5 May 1890 – 28 March 1957) Christopher Morley was an American journalist, novelist, essayist and poet. He also produced stage productions for a few years and gave college lectures. <b>Biography</b> Christopher Morley was born in Haverford, Pennsylvania. His father, Frank Morley, was a mathematics professor at Haverford College; his mother, Lilian Janet Bird, was a poet and musician who provided Christopher with much of his later love for literature and poetry. In 1900 the family moved to Baltimore, Maryland. In 1906 Christopher entered Haverford College, graduating in 1910 as valedictorian. He then went to New College, Oxford, for three years on a Rhodes scholarship, studying modern history. In 1913 Morley completed his Oxford studies and moved to Garden City, New York. On 14 June 1914 he married Helen Booth Fairchild (with whom he would have four children). They first lived in Hempstead, and then in Queens Village. They then moved to Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, and in 1920 they made their final move, to a house they called "Green Escape" in Roslyn Estates, New York. They remained there for the rest of his life. In 1936 he built a cabin at the rear of the property (The Knothole), which he maintained as his writing study from then on. In 1951 Morley suffered a series of strokes, which greatly reduced his voluminous literary output. He died on Mar 28 1957 and was buried in the Roslyn Cemetery in Nassau County, New York.
