<^'HE inauguration of President Franklin Delano Roosevelt co- \ieIe incided with a time of unprecedented M economic emergency. Floiving out of this coincidence came the placing of an exceptional amount of power and au- NRA thority into his hands. President Roose- velt was regarded in the campaign pre- ceding the election as one outstanding in his love for all his fellow men and in his determination that no one. how- ever humble, should be overlooked in establishing the new order.
It is a great tribute to the life, char- acter and personality of our President that he has continued to abide in the confidence of the people, which he does by his deep sympathy and interest in humanity. His addresses to the Ameri- can public have been made with sim- plicity, full-blooded yet temperate and FOREWORD
poised—rooted in common sense but reaching upward to the nobilities of »=nl'=nl statesmanship. =nl-=nlcri| We have tried to show m the pages of this book something of the life and NRA character of this our greatest President. He IS pictured at momentous occasions
in his life. Because of this study, it is
hoped that you will see him as he is. a richly human personality. He seems to know everything. He is alert, alive and in love with life and people. No one
knows what it is in him that captures
the imagination: it is something we can neither define nor resist — something magnetic, mystical, marvelous. May we continue to trust him as he leads us for- ward. There is no name in all our country's history so loved as his today. All hail to Roosevelt, the man of the hour. To him be glory and honor! Frank Lee Jackson DEDICATION

[There are striking p.ir.illcl' in thf Presidential careers of Woodrow Wilson and Franklin D. Roosevelt, both in the con- ditions that brought about their elections and in the characters and motivating principles of the two men. The quotation given below is taken from an address made by President Roosevelt on Woodrow Wilson and his efforts for peace, before the Wilson Foundation in Washington, December 29. Coming from the President of the United States, this is a significant gesture and should be a powerful instrument for the peace visioned by Woodrow Wilson—Davidson's greatest alumnus.]
ary^HE imagination of the masses of world l<^ population was stirred, as never before, by President Wilson's gallant appeal to them— to those masses to — . banish future war. . . Through the League directly, or through its guiding motives indirectly, the states of the world have groped for- ward to find something better than the old way of composing their differences.
"Through all the centuries and down to the world conflict of 1914 to 1918. wars were made by governments. Woodrow Wilson challenged that ne- cessity. That challenge made the people who create and who change government think. They wondered with Woodrow Wilson whether the people them- selves could not some day prevent governments from making war.
"It is but an extension of the challenge of Wood- row Wilson for us to propose in this newer gen- eration that from now on war by governments shall be changed to peace by peoples." THE GOOD SAMARITAN
Roosevelt has alivays manifested a strong love
for humanity. This is shoivn in hts kmdhness
of manner which is an essential part of true
greatness. He abolished child labor forever ivtth
a stroke of his pen and is the defender of "The Forgotten Man." I

gural Address. March 4. 1^33. COLLEGE A History of Davidson College
"^'ND some seed fell upon good ground that sprang up and increased." So goes the parable of the sower and the seed. Davidson is the fruition of a small seed, sown the spring of 1835 by the energetic, liberty-loving, Scotch-Irish members of Concord Presbytery. "A Manual Labor School" was established by laying the cornerstone on April 7, 18 36, named for General William Davidson, a Revolutionary hero, "for the encourage- ment of liberal knowledge in languages, arts and sciences, and for diffusing the great advantages of education upon more general terms." Prospects for the success of the school were not bright, but the founders cherished a great dream, and into its realization, they determinedly put their time and money and March 1, 1837, had the gratification of seeing their achievement begin its life as an active college.
Sixty-five students were enrolled for the first term and the three professors engaged to n teach were well occupied. One of the three, Robert Hall Morrison, was selected to act as Presi- dent; and by his personal magnetism and excellence of oratory, contributed a great deal to the prestige of the young institution. Under his four years' administration, and the longer one which followed of Dr. Samuel Williamson, Davidson grew "in spirit" and the competence of its faculty and the remarkable scholastic work of its students began to win widespread recognition.
Since making possible an economical education had been one of the school's original purposes, a "manual labor system " had been installed and was expected to yield the necessary income. However, this failed because of its unpopularity with the students, and as a result, the early 1850's found a comparatively large number of students at Davidson in search of learning and a faculty capable of imparting it, but a college weighted down in debt and one whose very existence was threatened.
The year 185 6 marked the dawn of a new era for Davidson. Mr. Maxwell Chambers made a large bequest to the college and with part of it old "Chambers" was erected, the re- mainder being used as an endowment fund. New professors were added, more students arrived, I and depression disappeared from the campus. Through the efforts of Major D. H. Hill, later to become General Hill, an improved disciplinary system was established during this period and "a day of speaking" was inaugurated which is known today as "Junior Speaking."
With the installation of the next President, Dr. John Lycan Kirkpatrick. there also came the Civil War, which brought the affairs of Davidson to the lowest ebb in its history. Interest in the political campaign of 1860 had run high on the campus, and with the election of Lincoln, the resulting "rumors of war" created great excitement. In vain the faculty urged a spirit of calmness, and by the end of 1861, the student body had almost completely dispersed. In the words of a member of the sophomore class, "Fast and furious the tocsin of war
r^ i
Old Chambers
Page Sixteen sounded: fast and furious the students fled the college hall to stem the invader's march." Even some of the professors left, and in the fall of 1861, there were only twenty-nine students. In order to give employment to the four remaining professors, preparatory students were accepted, but their presence was most distinguished for the disorder it caused. Privations of every sort were necessary for the demands of the Confederate army, and although no degrees were awarded in 1865, the college can boast of never being closed and merely shortened its term until April of that year.
Almost miraculously. President Kirkpatrick was able to open college at the regular time. He appealed at once to the trustees for certain innovations and won their support, remaining in his position long enough to see the faculty almost doubled in number. His post had been difficult during the war but he held his ground admirably. Upon the foundations which Dr. Shearer set up. Dr. Henry Lewis Smith, his successor, began a period of further growth and '"• expansion. He was consumed with the ideal of a college of superior moral and spiritual quality capable of attracting the best youth of the South. One of his first steps was to promote a campaign of writing and speaking on the importance of a college education. Few presidents have shown the initiative, energy and versatility which characterized Dr. Smith. He was suc- cessful in raising funds for the college and before he finished his tenure of office, the college plant had been enlarged by the addition of five new buildings.
Thus the seventy-fifth anniversary, coming at the close of his administration, gave those interested in Davidson good reason to rejoice, not only because of all that had been accom- plished, but because of the brilliant prospects for the future. Dr. William J. Martin, the Pro- fessor of Chemistry, became the new President and the college continued to grow and prosper. The trials of another war period were survived and when a severer test came with the burning of "Old Chambers," before the flames had died away, the faculty and student body assembled around the old well and pledged themselves to carry on.
Expansion followed with the building of "New Chambers " in 1925, and the receipt of the Duke Endowment the next year. Dr. Martin retired in 1929 and Dr. Walter L. Lingle was secured to fill his place. The prosperity of the college at present, despite the difficult times, is eloquent testimonial of his faithful administration. He has continued to perpetuate the high ideals and noble traditions of the college and has won for her many staunch friends and admirers. His hands upheld by faculty and students, one can confidently predict even greater things for the future.
If one of the stalwart members of the original committee which met in session at old Prospect Church could return to the campus today, he would marvel at the changes which have taken place. Were he to remain on the campus to acquaint himself with the faculty, and sense something of the spirit of the student body, he would remark that the ideals involved in its founding were the same, only clothed in new raiment: that the seed had lived, and had brought forth fruit in abundance. _u_ n

T \\niy A Quips and Cranks?
Five minutes before the request to write this paragraph came. I had turned to Quips and Cranks of 19^1 to refresh my memory concerning a graduate of that year. A college president was inquiring about him as a possible pro- fessor. Quips and Cranks preserves more vividly than anything else the story of college life and of the individual student's life in college. Members of the faculty frequently use it in the practical way indicated above. In after years, the college graduate will find real joy in taking down his old copies of QuiPS AND Cranks and by their aid. living over again his happy college days and again associating in spirit with the finest friends he ever had.

Dunn President of Board of Trustees Greetings From the Trustees This greeting comes from the Trustees of Davidson College to all those who have the welfare of QuiPS AND CRANKS at heart. I have been a trustee of Davidson now for more than forty years and have had an opportunity to see Davidson grow in the love and esteem of her many friends who cherish her great traditions. QuiPS AND CRANKS is a worthy medium through which the optimistic spirit of Davidson is poured out. and in which the high standard of efficiency and the versatility of her activities arc revealed. A graduate who takes this book with him when he leaves the college has a constant reminder of what Davidson was like when he walked the campus as a student. President of Board of Trustees.

Ill 19 3 6 Lloyd Malcolm Grimes, Jr. Lewis Treadway Purnell Some form of student participation in control of college affairs is desirable because such organization approximates the democracy in which the student will live. It will consequently help to train him for citizenship. In most colleges the Freshman presents a serious problem. He is not accustomed to the tempo of college life and often makes mistakes which must be corrected. At Davidson it has been found by experience that the best way to handle Freshmen who have broken regulations is through a student court which sits in session. A judge is appointed by the Student Council and he is assisted by seven students selected from the three upper classes, who try the case brought up for discussion. Before the court was established in 1923. an upperdassman might become overbearing on a Freshman. However, under this system the case s brought before the court and the Freshman is given a chance to present his side of the case. The idea that the Court of Control is a dumping place for all disagreeable items concern- ng Freshmen is erroneous and should be corrected. The court does not sit in session just to discipline the Freshmen, but also to counsel and advise. The chief value of the court is that develops the students to handle such matters themselves and it makes them feel that they have a part in regulating the affairs of the college. They build up among themselves a senti- ment for law and order, and feel responsible when the rules or traditions of the college are violated. Page Thirty-two ^ ELM ROW Trees, the oldest ut friends.

How- ever, the alumni are so important to the college they ought to be represented in the yearbook if it is to be a complete record of the college's activity. Grier Martin, '32. the alumni secretary, has done some splendid work this year in keeping the graduates informed about the college and in turn helping to keep the college in touch with her alumni. There was a big Home-coming this year, held on October 21, and more than seven hundred alumni returned for the Home-coming exercises. In the GRiER Martin morning there was a Davidson-Duke Alumni Secretary cross country meet which Duke's south- ern conference champions won by 27- 28. After the track meet the alumni gathered in the college auditorium, where Dr. 'W. L. Lingle, President, welcomed the former students and in- troduced James C. Pfohl. the new direc- tor of music, and Grier Martin, alumni secretary. Dr. B. R. Lacy, Jr.. of Rich- mond. Va., president of the alumni as- sociation, also made a few remarks. At the noon hour, a banquet was given in honor of the alumni which was presided over by Joe B. Johnston of Barium Springs, who acted as toast- master. Among those present was Dr. W. J. Martin of Richmond, Va., presi- dent-emeritus of Davidson and first football coach of the college. The Duke- Davidson football game ended the Home-coming day festivities. The highlight of the year and an Dr. Bhn R. Lacv event all inter- President Alumni Association in which alumni were ested was the first Founders' Day, which Shakes hands with President Linglc at Home-coming. was celebrated on April 12. in com- Page Fifty memoration of the 97th anniversary of the founding of the college. It turned attention to the college's past history and reviewed the faith of those who founded it, and the loyalty and devotion of those who kept it alive through the years and the vision of those who look toward its future. Dr. Ben E. Geer, President of Furman University and personal friend and advisor of the late James B. Duke, was the guest speaker for the occasion. Dr. Geer was elected president of Furman last summer on the death of Dr. McGloughlin and is one of the outstanding educators of the South. He spoke on "Our Foundations" and discussed the past and future of the church college. He was introduced by Dr. Walter L. Lingle. In the afternoon, a concert was given by the Davidson band under tHe direction of Mr. Pfohl. Another feature of the day's program was a baseball game with Duke University which proved to be a thrilling contest, Davidson winning 5-4. Among the distinguished guests present for the day's celebration was Colonel E. L. Baxter Davidson, of Charlotte. President of Mecklenburg County Alumni Association and descendant of General William Lee Davidson, for whom the college was named. Colonel Davidson recently purchased some portraits of Woodrow Wilson and himself painted by Dr. Martin D. Hardin and presented them to the college. The celebration held on the hill was only a part of the program given in connection with Founders' Day. Alumni chapters all over the South met to celebrate the occasion on the following night and members of the faculty traveled to several nearby cities to speak at alumni dinners. The first issue of the Alumni Journal, edited by Grier Martin, has caused a great deal of favor- able comment. It contains in detailed form the plan outlined by Dr. Walter Lingle for obtaining money for the college. It is announced that seven million dollars is needed to be used in erecting buildings and for endowment purposes. The magazine contains other valuable information which should interest every loyal Davidson supporter. It is agreed that Founders' Day was a great cele- bration, but as someone said. "For the real thing in the way of celebrations, wait until the commemoration of the 100th anniversary." Col. E. L. Baxter Davidson, one isitors attending Founders' Day. Page Fifty-one A PROFOUND THINKER For the President, every phase of human ac- tivity is worthy of consideration. He is a de- vout reader and thinks things through, present- ing them in such a crystal-clear fashion that a little child can understand his meaning. He seems born to question and to seek out new truths.

We will have no roll call of the immortals. And yet, perhaps, the particulars are better left unsaid. We who have lived through and felt at first hand the varied experiences of a college career do not need to have them chronicled. They will remain in our hearts, softened by an increasing perspective of years, and per- haps mellowed through the medium of a fond memory which counts only the happy hours. But who shall say that this is not the best way for college to be remembered? And as for those who are not members of the class of '34. their judgment of us will rather be made by our progress in the world of affairs. Our four years have been a period of growth. Our minds have been broadened to think more clearly, to judge more tolerantly, to see both sides of the questions which confront us. Our shoulders have been broadened to meet with success the responsibilities which college duties have laid upon them duties which in their turn are a preparation for larger responsibilities which life will call upon us to bear. Our hearts, we trust, have been strengthened to look upon life with a clear resolve to follow the right. Yet we hope that we have not taken all and given nothing. The college has meant much to us and has done much for us. We earnestly hope that the class of '34, in return, may be found to have added her part to the spirit which is the true Davidson. —J. A.

Weeks HISTORY ((//^UR class is the best of all possiblepossibli good classes!" is rhc way to write a class history I I according to custom. However, there is no truth in this statement: and the his- torian is not going to make extravagant claims. Anyway, this question of com- parative excellence is not very important. What is important is that the class of '35 realizes m its allegiance to itself as an entity, and that '35 live up to the standards which it has set during the last three years. These standards may be exemplified by listing briefly the major achievements of the class during the year. The class has completed its third year of good spirit and wide participation T. F. Wood H. F. MCPHAIL Page One Hundred Fourteen Ul The joys of bciinj ,i (an. and Pres.'Clect of studcn-t bod_ Summer school. in class and college affairs. The members deserve recognition for their activity in dramatics, athletics, debating, and in many cases academic standing. Those attaining the honor roll during last year were: Alderman, Bogart. Coit, Douglas. Neill, Powell, and Rhodes, In athletics, the Juniors have been particularly outstanding and the class of '35 has seven lettermen in varsity football: Hand, Hutchins. Mackorell, Morgan, Potter, Siewers and Wingfield. George Gullette won his cross-country "D, " In basketball there were four lettermen: Harris, captain of the team, Ross, Morgan and Yelverton. In wrestling. Charlie Fort, captain for 1934 and captain-elect for 1935. and Quartcrman won letters. Fred McPhail won his 193 3 track letter. In baseball during the 193 3 season, Mackorell, Morgan, Bumgarner and Harris won "D's" and "Shrimp" Morris, whose loss, owing to serious illness, the class has felt deeply, was to have been captain during this season. The gymnastic competition was won by Shirey, Certainly '35 has done its part in athletics. In debating wc have had two prominent men: Gordon "Skip" Brown and Bob Smith K. D. 'Weeks was president of the class; E. F. McPhail, vice-president, and C. C. Harris, secretary- treasurer. Perhaps other classes in the past and in the future will excel these activities, but one feels that '3 5 has established a record of which it may well be proud. The important thing is for the class to pursue this goal more ardently during the last year remaining. In every field the number of men who have taken part in various activities indicates the active interest of the class in extra-curricular as well as academic pursuits, and the successes of the Junior year promise even greater things for the future of 1935. —T.iF.

Richardson President W. C. Branton Vice-President R. H. Evans Secretary- Treasurer Mills Taylor Historian R. B. Richardson HISTORY SEPTEMBER 12, nineteen hundred and thirty-three, one hundred ONand ninety-eight promising young men entered the portals of Chambers Building to register as members of the class of '36. The first year was one of heavy laundries and numerous errands, but despite these necessary evils, the class came to be recognized and well known on the campus. Before the year was over. Freshman numerals were almost as plentiful as cut cards. These represented hard work done on the gridiron, cinder path, baseball diamond, and tennis courts. W. C. Branton R. H. EVANS Mills Taylor Page One Hundred Twenty-six W^4 At the end of the first semester, two of the members of the class made the honor roll. The Reporters' Club also bid a large group of first-year men in the spring elections and a number of students showed they were no slackers when it came to extra-curricular activities by taking an active part in all the functions of the college. When school reopened in the fall, the Freshmen of the preceding year had miraculously become learned Sophomores. Carrying out the custom of the class sponsoring an entertainment, the Sophomores gave a week-end party which was enthusiastically declared a great success by all those attending. The entertainment consisted of a set of three dances, music being furnished by Tommy Tucker and his "Californians." In the spring, the election of class officers was held. Those elected were: R. B. Richardson, president: W. C. Branton. vice-president: R. H. Evans, secretary-treasurer, and Mills Taylor, historian. These men have carried out their respective duties in an efficient manner, showing that they were equal to the occasion and that the class acted wisely in entrusting their confidence in these men. Someone has said that a good beginning leads to a bad ending, but we are inclined to disagree. Surely this cannot be said of such a class. We trust and sincerely hope that the laurels of the past will be just a beginning and that the class of '36 will press onward to new honors and achievements in the future. —Mills Taylor.

Thus, a religious atmosphere is definitely linked with a friendly feeling and fine spirit among associates. Such an atmosphere and spirit have been attributed to Davidson ever since it was founded. First, Davidson is a denominational school, but it is more definitely Christian than denominational. Second, the general character of a Davidson man is a prominent factor in adding to the lustre of the institution. Third, comes the role played by religious organizations on the campus. The Young .Men's Christian Association is foremost among these groups. Every Davidson student is a member of the College "Y" and as a result this organization comes in direct contact with them. A goodly number of students at Davidson have chosen the ministry as their life's work and because of this fac-'t there is a nucleus on the campus with which to build and mould religious thinkine. fil Y.

A well known layman in the church once said in regard to Christian service : "It grips men and all that is needed is wise guidance." This "wise guidance" might be said to sum up the functions of Davidson's religious life. This spiritual tone found on the campus, which is fostered and encouraged by the various organizations, is an integral part of the life of the college and something which Davidson men everywhere should be justly proud. ^.

Jack Williams. Jr.; Second Vice-President. G. H. Brown; Secretary, Hugh Hawkins; Treasurer. Rawling Pratt-Thomas; Debate Manager. R. H. Smith. Jr. I Tryouts for the team were held in November, and E. J. Humphrey. G. H. Brown. Rawl- ing Pratt-Thomas. R. H. Smith. Jr.. John Fitzgerald, and A. C. Stutts were selected for the varsity with alternates J. R. Harper and R. A. Cann. The entire squad was then divided into ! three teams to take the three trips planned, all of which debated the subject. Resolved: "That the powers of the President of the United States should be substantially increased as a settled policy." Brown and Pratt-Thomas, taking the negative, left on the southern trip on February 19. and debated "en route" the University of Georgia, University of Florida. University of Miami, r and College of Charleston. All were "non-decision" debates excepting the one at the College of Charleston, which the Davidson team won by an audience vote. On March 4. Smith and Stutts. on the affirmative, left for the western trip, which in- cluded one debate at Sewanee University and Centre College, and two at the University of Kentucky. Judges' decisions were awarded the opposing team at each of the three institutions, but Davidson won an audience decision in the second debate with the University of Kentucky. The northern trip, in which the Davidson team took the negative side, was made by Humphrey and Fitzgerald. They debated Washington and Lee University and were awarded the audience vote, and at Washington and Lee, the judges' decision. They also debated Rutgers University and Bucknell and lost to Rutgers but won over Buckncll. Home debates were held with Washington and Lee University, the University of Florida, and Wake Forest College. In the first of these. Brown and Pratt-Thomas won a judges' de- cision; in the second, the University of Florida defeated Smith and Stutts. and in the last. Humphrey and Fitzgerald lost an unusually close contest to Wake Forest. Dr. C. K. Brown of the economics department, generously offered his services as debate coach, and conducted regular classes for the team. Probably there is no one thing that Davidson needs more at present than a department of public speaking with someone in charge who could concentrate on this work and coach the debating team. Surely, there is no lack of talent.

Instructor (rniv. of North Carolina). B.M. (Univ. of Michigan) "There's music in all things. " said Byron, but even the most skeptical must admit that it could have been none other than the Muse Euterpe herself, in the per- son of Director James C. Pfohl. who has effected such a miraculous change in the quality of music at David- son during the past year. The installation at the first of the year of a De- partment of Music under the direction of Mr. Pfohl was welcomed by the student body as most gratifying, and from the standpoint of both the development of Jamhs Christian Pfohl individual musicians and the cultivation of the mu- sical instinct of the student body. Mr. Pfohls work has been tremendously effective. Every phase of campus life, from chapel services to football games, has felt the touch of his genius. Mr. Pfohls achievements have not only included the renovation of old musical organ izations. but the creation of new ones, a concert band and a concert orchestra. The concert band, composed of forty-two pieces, has performed at chapel and has given two concerts at Davidson and one at Greensboro. Lenoir. Gastonia. Charlotte. Greer. Winston-Salem. Red Springs and Albemarle. The orchestra has also been active presenting programs at chapel, the Christmas Vespers, and one concert in conjunction with the Glee Club. The College R. O. T. C. Band has changed to such an extent that it is hardly recognized as the same organization. The improvement was hailed with delight last fall by students and alumni, and since that time it has added much to the effectiveness of the parades in the military department. Mr. J. C. Harper. Director of the famous Lenoir High School Band, said: "The Davidson band has come to be instead of one of the worst bands in the state to one of the best in the entire South." Page One Hundred Sixty-six Glee Club Fnst R The Glee Club and Varsity Quartet are other musical organizations which have taken on new life. The Glee Club, in addition to its numerous programs on the campus, has sung in Winston-Salem. Greensboro. Albemarle and Flora Macdonald College. Mr. Pfohl has extended the influence of the department by giving organ recitals himself and by inviting guest artists to appear at Davidson from time to time. Unquestionably, music is being given its rightful place at Davidson, and those who have watched its progress feel that the credit is largely due to the efforts of Mr. Pfohl. In con- cluding his work for the year. Mr. Pfohl made this statement. "It has been a pleasure to be connected with Davidson College in the capacity of Director of Music. The hearty support given by students and faculty alike have been encouraging. Nothing could have bsen accom- plished without this support. I am confident that Davidson has great possibilities in the field of music. Plans are now under way to develop and expand this newest of Davidson's depart- ments, and we will always try to meet the musical needs of the students and cultivate them in ' the best manner possible! b\,\llJHOXV OKI llEsl U.\ Page One Hundred Sixty'S3Ven ^ Red and Black Masquers (Dramatic) D.

At first it was thought 'Candida" would be too ambitious, but this made the players work all the harder, and the stage managers dragged out the proverbial scenery and gave it a new coat of paint, with the result that the production was of such high character that it was far from amateurish. The people in the village also took an active interest in the plays this year and have attended them in large numbers and asked for more. The next production scheduled The Dover Road." by A. A.

C. unit has ranked high among similar groups throughout the United States. A two-year hasic course is required of all students entering Davidson who are physically qualified. However, at the last meeting of the Board of Trustees, it was decided to make the course optional on condition that the parent file a written request with the registrar within ten days after school opens, asking to be excused. _ A number of students participate in the optional two years of study and camp. Ihe advanced course is voluntary, and those taking it receive a certain stipend wh ch provides many of them with spending money. Its popularity is evidenced by the fact that every year n lore applications are filed than can be accepted. Military trainin<; i^ strongly recommended because of the physical benefit to be derived from such a course as \\ ell as the training in discipline. The Davidson unit is under the able direction of Major John T. Rhett and a competent staff of army offi- cers. The Battalion has for a number of years received the highest rating awarded bv the War Department. The Davidson unit won the Proficiency Cup for general excellence at the 1933 camp held at Clemson College last summer in competition with students from twelve institutions located in four different states.

ATHLETICS . Athletics Captain N. G. Pritchett Director of Athletics A challenging thought is expressed in the " words, "If youth but knew: if age but could. If ir is difficult for age to understand and appreciate the attitude of youth, it should wisely be remembered that it is even more difficult for youth to understand and appreciate the view- point of age: the young have not yer climbed the hill far enough to enjoy a full perspective, for "youth shows but half" and not "the last of life for which the first was made." This brief premise is neither a defense of the explosive temperament of youth nor yet an apology for rhe conservatism of age. It is merely an expression of conviction that the experience that comes with age may be deepened and broad- ened through the exuberance of youth that re- quires some form of expression. I Time was when college professors deplored such uncultural tendencies as are revealed on Captain N. G. Pritchett autumn afternoons when eleven irresponsible students strive with might and main upon the athletic field to wrest a worthless pigskin from an equal number of visiting guests who are likewise so irresponsible that they enjoy this crude form of hospitality. How foolish, age might well think, for young gentlemen to waste potential genius and study-time in doing such an inane thing while their fellow students shout barbaric discords in vicarious encouragement. There is a far cry. however, between an intellectual votarist whose physical fires have subsided into calm retrospect as compared with the crusading spirit of the youngster whose demand for physical action is no less natural than the desire of his older counsellor for meditative complacency. It may be broadly stated, therefore, that college officials no longer deplore athletic partici- pation as merely another manifestation of "jazz-age insanity." but are more inclined to regard it as a wholesome means of utilizing normal youthful energy that demands an outlet. n XVtArfceSA^-itsdbtt Coaches Laird Unger JIcEv Page One Hundred Ninety-six Athletic Council E.

Football DAVIDSON 6—ELON The Wildcats opened an auspicious football season with a game against Elon. The Christians were by no means an easy mark, and it was not until the fourth quarter that the Wildcats were able to make a touchdown. Two sophomore backs. Paul Pittman and Ira Verble, maneuvered the pass that resulted in a score. DAVIDSON 0—CAROLINA 6 Davidson's eleven journeyed to Chapel Hill for their game with the Tar Heels which resulted in a close contest. The Wildcats displayed such spirit that it was not until the fourth quarter that Carolina was able to put over a touchdown. Davidson's line played an exceptionally good game. The outstanding players were Cap- tain Charlie Rives. A. J. Potter. Henry Cathey and Jim Morgan. DAVIDSON 28—WOFFORD 13 The wildcats fought their way to victory over the Wofford Terriers in one of the most thrilling encounters of the season. Wof- ford made a touchdown just following the kick-off. Later, Eb. Willson went around right end for 30 yards, and Mackorell and Wingfield placed the ball on Wofford's 2-yard line as the quarter ended. Wingfield carried the ball over and kicked the extra point, tying the score. Later Davidson got the ball and Willson made a touchdown. In the third quarter the Wildcats began an aerial at- tack, and Verble and Ravcnel made the other two touchdowns. Reading from the left up and Halfback; Mackobell.

Dewey Hutchins inter- cepted a pass in the second quarter and raced 3 6 yards for the only touchdown of the afternoon. Hutchins spine-chilling gallop fol- lowed a slow first period in which the Wildcats held the upper hand. The Cadets rallied, but it was too late, and the third straight victory for the 'Cats over the Virginia foe was marked down in the records. DAVIDSON 7—DUKE 19 Before a Davidson Home-coming Day crowd of ten thousand, a powerful Duke team administered to the Wildcats the worst defeat they received all season. In the last quarter the Wildcats flashed a brilliant passing attack, and Johnny Mackorell received a 10-yard pass from George Wingfield on Duke's 20-yard line and sprinted the distance for a touchdown. Davidson literally stole Duke's thun- der the way they pounced on loose balls, took advantage of breaks, and smothered Duke punt receivers. DAVIDSON 6—N. C. STATE 6 An inspired North Carolina State Wolfpack came from behind in the third quarter to push over a touchdown against the Wildcats and gain a 6-6 deadlock. Johnny Mackorell, quarterback, threw the crowd into an uproar in the third quarter when he grabbed a State pass on Davidson's 15-yard line and ran 85 yards for a touch- down. The blocking was perfect, the Wildcats clipping two tackles as Mackorell ran the last five yards. Mackorell, Hutchins and Wing- Reading from the ri^ht Halfback: C. T. Fo Potter, Guard; Hand.

DAVIDSON 24—CITADEL 6 The Wildcats were in better condition at The Citadel game than at any other time of the season. The Bulldogs began with a rush of intricate attacks and reverses that gave them a touchdown. Wingfield scored the first Wildcat touchdown in the second period and Mackorell another on a broken field run of 74 yards, the high light of the game. Mackorell passed to Hutchins for the third in the fourth quarter, and another drive led by Baxter Yarborough, sophomore, was climaxed when Hutchins made the fourth and last touchdown. Charlie Quarterman, Citadel back, did some fine punt- ing and was the main spring of the Bulldog team. DAVIDSON 12—WILLIAM AND MARY 7 A slashing Wildcat attack was too much for William and Mary, and the Indians were forced to bow to Davidson. Twice George Wingfield and Johnny Mackorell led the attack, and both times Wmgfield crossed the Indian goal line, once in the first period and again in the third. The game started with Mackorell taking the kick- off and running through the whole Indian tribe 70 yards to the Braves' 25-yard line. After a pass and a penalty Wingfield pushed the ball over. In the third quarter both teams began passing, and the final score was made on a pass from Mackorell to Wmgfield. Reading from the left up and acruss: Ross. Tackle; H.^RRisox.

Outplayed at first, the Wildcats came back after the half and pushed over a touchdown in the third quarter and two in the fourth. The Deacons were first to score, and the half ended with the score 7-0. The Wild- cats were on Wake's 40-yard line when Mackorell received the ball from center and threw a 50-yard pass to Morgan who was across the goal line. The second touchdown came in the fourth quarter when Morgan blocked a Deacon punt and Charlie Fort covered the ball in the end zone. The 'Cats made another touchdown when Yarborough recovered a Deacon fumble and Mackorell crossed the goal line. The following kick-off, the Deacons began an 85-yard march down the field which netted them a second touchdown. This triumph gave the Wildcats third place in the Big Five standing and concluded a great season. THE WILDCAT SUMMARY, 1934 Davidson Elon Davidson Carolina Davidson WofFord Davidson V. M.

Good material was lacking, and this coupled with bad breaks partly accounts for only six victories out of nineteen contests. Courtney Ross took first place in individual scoring for the season with a total of 173 points. Charles Harris, captain of the Wildcats, followed with 144 points. After winning three out of four pre-season games, the Wildcats were defeated by the strong Carolina team 38 to 23, The Tar Heels ran up a 17-3 lead early in the game, and were leading 21-10 at the intermission. The Cats put up a scrappy fight but proved to be no match for the Carolinians. The Davidson quintet met Duke at Charlotte in their second game. The Blue Devils got off to an early lead, but the Wildcats came back and at the half Duke had a bare 20-18 edge on them. After the half, Davidson was leading 28-24 when their main defensive cog. Jim Morgan left the game on personal fouls. The result was 40 to 35 in favor of Duke. The Wildcats travelled to Hickory for the first victory of the season, defeating the Lenoir Rhyne Bears, 38-29, The first half the Wildcats made little headway, but during the second half they scored 26 points. Next: the Davidsonians met the N. C. State Red Terrors on their home court. It was ra a close game and at the end of the half the Wildcats were trailing by five points. Near the last of the quarter, play became more brisk, but the Cats were unable to overcome State and lost by a score of 29-3 2. Wake Forest's Demon Deacons took an early lead and although the Cats rallied in the last half, turned them back 34-25. The Davidson team staged several rallies but were unable to overcome the lead won by their opponents. On their northern invasion Davidson played games in Virginia. The Wildcats won from V. P. I. 32-28. but lost to the University of Virginia and William and Mary by the scores of 25-43 and 19-31 respectively. From Virginia the Wildcats travelled cast, journeying to Raleigh for return games with both N. C. State and Wake Forest. The Red Terrors severely trounced the Wildcats in the State game, scoring 50 points to Davidson's 2 6. The following night the Cats were again beaten by the Wake Forest Deacons, their opponents winning by 36-23, In the next home game the Wildcats defeated Lenoir Rhyne for the second time, scoring 31 points to the Bears' 24, After this victory the team journeyed to Durham to meet Duke, where they suffered defeat. The Blue Devils scored 5 7 points to Davidsons 26. Then the Wildcats continued to Chapel Hill and were again overcome by the Tar Heels. Carolina main- tained a consistent lead, winning 39-25. 5l!i Page Two Hundred Six Elon eked out a 35-34 victory over Davidson in the most thrilling game of the season. Davidson set the pace throughout until toward the last when some deadly sharp-shooting on the part of the Christians brought them victory. The 1934 season was closed with a defeat at the hands of Erskine. the score being 3 2-23. It was nip and tuck during the whole game, with the Flying Fleet taking the lead in the last few minutes of the play. This game ended the college basketball careers of Holland, guard, and Lafferty. forward. Bernardo. Harris. Morgan. Munroe. Ross, and Yelverton are all Juniors, while Johnson and Windham are both Sophomores. With seven of the squad to return next year and a brace of excellent material rising from the Freshman squad, Coach Laird expects to win back some of Davidson's fame in basketball circles. Letters were awarded to the following; Captain Harris. Yelverton, Ross, Lafferty, Holland, Windham, Morgan, and Smyre and White, managers.

I Baseball Coach Laird faced the difficulty of rebuilding a baseball team this year as a nine of the 1933 championship team were lost through graduation. Taken as a whole the season was marked by only a moderate degree of success but con- sidering the disadvantages under which the genial coach worked, a fairly good team was turned out. Michigan State opened the season and defeated David- son 16 to 6. Coble started pitching for Davidson but was later replaced by =1 Jenkins, who finished the game. During the spring holidays the Wildcats played a series of games with dif- ferent Carolina colleges. The Tar Heels were first and led by their pitcher McKeithan, collected sixteen hits off Coble and Jenkins to win 15 to 4. Carolina defeated Davidson again in the second game 13 to 5. Davidson took the lead in the second inning when Bumgarner, Morgan, and Ravcncl started hitting, but Carolina came back in the third to hold a strong lead. Harris did most of the pitching with Richardson as relief pitcher. Johnny Mackorell led the hitting for Davidson in the fourth contest played against State. The Wolfpack got 1 7 hits off West and Coble while Davidson got only 7 safe blows. The final score was 11 to 4. However, in the second fray with State, Davidson evened things and showed some of the old championship form. Led by Captain Mock and with the pitching of Harris and Jenkins, the Wildcats collected 10 safeties to account for 9 runs to State's 8.

Mackorell furnished a thrilling climax in the last half of the ninth. With two out and two men on base Mack- orell made a triple and scored two runners which won the game for Davidson. 1 In the second game Duke defeated the Red and Black nine H to . Mays of Duke did some fine pitching for the Blue Devils and Harris and Richardson pitched for Davidson. Davidson bowed to Carolina again in their third contest. McKeithan, n Carolina pitcher, held the Wildcats in complete check and Carolina won 9-0. Wake Forest managed to eke out a victory over the Wildcats in their first game. Harris struck out five men and allowed only 1 1 hits, but in spite of that the Demon Deacons won 11 to 7. In the last home game, a fighting Wildcat team 1 again went down in defeat to Wake Forest 4 to . Jenkins pitched a good game but the opponents' hits were too well bunched and they made them count for their four runs. 16 15 n iJ^ F. M. Cochran, Cupiam W. M. Brown. Manager Track The Wildcat track team enjoyed an unusually good season this year, as good seasons go because Captain Pritchett always puts out good teams. This year they experienced four victories and one doubtful defeat as this resume was completed. The cindermen defeated Furman. the University of Richmond, V. P. I., WofFord. and a disputed contest with the University of Tennessee. If the scoring system recommended by the National Intercollegiate Athletic As- sociation had been used in the Tennessee meet which advises that points be given for three places and is not in favor of holding relays in such meets, the Cats would have won another victory. A trio of record-breaking stars have been chiefly responsible for these vic- tories. Captain Miller Cochran has twice this year broken his own records for fn the discus throw and shot put, which was 46 feet 9 inches for the shot put and for the discus 138 feet four and one-half inches. Evans, a sophomore, has been a reliable winner, making 43 points in three meets, and scoring 19 of the points made at V. P. I., which set a new record for their stadium. Earl Frazicr, another sophomore of cross country fame, ranks high in the scoring column and broke both records in the mile and two mile runs held by Brannon two years ago. Frazier's time for these events now stands at 4 min- utes 30.1 seconds for the mile and 9 minutes. S9.8 seconds for the two mile. Oakes and Gullette, both consistent placers in the distance runs, did some fine performing this year. ^ Page Two Hundred Ten SL&Jif. rotv (left Cochran, Pratt, Oakes, Armistead, !

VARSITY TRACK Duke University's track team managed to come from behind and tie the strong Davidson team. 6^-6 3. in their meet at Durham. Davidson had a three- point margin until the half mile, but Duke deadlocked the count by winning first and third places in this event. Judging by their past record as individual performers and by their team spirit, the Wildcats should make a good showing" in the State meet.

Manager Varsity Wrestling Attempting one of the most difficult schedules that a Davidson wrestling team has ever faced, the 1934 Wildcat grapplers were unable to win a single match against their five Southern Conference opponents. Washington and Lee, V. M. I.. V. P. I., Duke, and the University of North Carolina were met in succession. These were among the strongest teams in the Southern Conference: Davidson's failure to win from them is partly due to injuries sustained and the superior strength of their opponents. Captain Charles Fort, wrestling in the 155-pound class, won every one of his matches but one. Against V. M. I., Fort scored Davidson's only points, pinning his man early in the period. In the V. P. I. meet he gained a time decision over his opponent and in the Duke meet he again won his match by gaining a time advantage. In the meet with Carolina at Davidson, Fort was given another time decision. Harris, a Senior, finished the season with a win in the 118-pound class against V. P. I. Lawrence Quarterman, a Junior, did exceptionally well this season, win- ning two out of his five contests and tying a third. Leroy Blackwelder, a Sopho- more who occasionally stepped out of his weight and alternated with Hodgin, another Sophomore in the unlimited class, experienced a successful season, win- ra ning two of his matches. The Wildcats opened their season against Washington and Lee at Lex- ington, Va, The latter team was victorious by a score of 30 to 0. In this meet the Cats were unable to win a match, being hindered by the loss of two varsity wrestlers, Sprunt and Potter. Blackwelder was defeated in one of the most spectacular matches of the afternoon. The second match was with V. M. I. at Lexington. The Cadets defeated the Davidson grapplers 25 to 5. Captain Fort scored Davidson's only points by pinning his opponent. l^age Two Hundred Fourteen After the Christmas holidays, the matmen traveled up to Blacksburg to meet the V. P. I. Gobblers. The Techmen took five of the eight bouts and fought to a draw in the 165-pound class. Captain Fort was the only Wildcat to score a fall: however Harris, in the 1 18-pound class, gained a time decision and Quartcrman fought to a draw. The final score was Davidson 9' 2 and V. P. I. 2212. The Duke wrestlers defeated a fighting Wildcat team 19 to 11 at Dur- ham. Captain Fort won his match with a time decision as did Blackwclder in the unlimited class. Quartcrman pinned his man in 5;47. which was David- son's only victory by a fall. In the final meet of the season Davidson was defeated by the University of North Carolina wrestlers on the 'Cats' home mat by a score of 17 to 9. The closest match came when Taylor was defeated in an extra period by Cholsen (U. N. C.) in the 135-pound class. Captain Fort had little trouble conquering his opponent, holding the advantage nearly the entire time. Quar- tcrman and Blackwelder were also victorious. "Doc" Unger put a well-coached team on the mat in every meet. He was handicapped by a lack of experienced material, but the team nevertheless made a creditable showing in each match.

Fewer fraternity men took part in basketball this year and consequently the number engaging in inter-fraternity competi tion fell from 354 last year to 343 this year. The number of students out for varsity competi- tion this year was exactly the same as the number out last year. Heath Whittle. '30, former track star here who has charge of the intra-mural program, stated that quite a few more students took part in spring sports, which were held out-of-doors, than 1 engaged last year. Lack of facilities and crowded con- ditions in the gym kept the number down to par in the indoor sports. FRESHMAN CROSS COUNTRY First Roiv (left to right): Peabody. ^uick, Dickson, Patterson.

Freshman Football There was a wealth of material on hand for the I reshman Football team this year but few of the players had much experience in actual competition. On this account the results of the season were rather disastrous. The Kittens tied Lces-McRae Junior College 6-6 in their first encounter when in the second quarter Armfield blocked a punt on Lees-McRae's 10-yard line. Peabody carried the ball over after two line plays. Davidson outplay.'d Lees-McRae except for some weak passing. The Kittens first met defeat at the hands of the North Carolina State Freshmen. The State aggregation was much heavier than Davidson and their powerful plays proved too much for the Wildkittens and they beat them 14-0. Captain Gracey was outstanding in the David son line while Peabody and Quick completed several nice passes The Plebes of V. P. L at Blacksburg were the next opponents of the Freshmen Again the first year men were defeated. Playing on a muddy field against a heavier team, the plucky Kittens were no match for the Plebes who won l?-0. In the game with the Wofford Freshmen, the Wildkittens avenged themselves for their losses. Davidson had a decided advantage from the start, but was unable to score during the first half. However, in the second period they scored five touchdowns and won by a score of 32-0. Almost the entire Freshman squad saw action in the second half. Corbin. Peabody and Quick were outstanding in the backfield. The final game of the season for the Freshmen was with Duke at Asheville. where they were defeated 3 2-0. The Blue Imps kept the ball in Davidson territory almost the whole time. When the Duke Freshmen were unable to mak; gains through the Kitten line, they took to the air and with efl^ective results. The Wildkittens were handicapped by a weak passing defense and unable to stop this attack. RESULTS David.son Davidson Davidson Davidson Davidson •iBhtl; COA. Freshman Basketball Winning twelve of their seventeen games, the Davidson Freshmen Basketball Team, coached by Bruce Peabody, had an excellent season. Coach Pcabody had good material with which to build a team, noteworthy among which were Captain C. C. Quick. Morris Peabody and Ken- neth Knorr. The Wildkittcns won their first game hy defeating Bclk's 37 to 17. In the second contest the Fr.eshmcn won over a Methodist team 40 to 28, but were beaten in the following game with Charlotte High School 29 to 20. The Kittens overcame Concord but lost again in a return game with Charlotte High. After this they won three games in a row from Fallston. P. C. Jr. College and Darlington but were defeated by McCallie 11 to 18. Making an eastern trip to Durham and Chapel Hill the Yearlings lost to the Duke Fresh- men but defeated Carolina 24 to 2 2. The Freshmen succeeded in winning four out of five of their final games of the season, defeating Salisbury and Lees-McRae but losing to Boiling Springs.

After this, Coach McEver revamped n the line-up and the team came back strong to win over Belmont 8-2. The weakest spot in the Freshman team was in the pitching staff.

The fraternities represented on the Council are: Beta Theta Pi, Pi Kappa Alpha. Kappa Alpha. Sigma Alpha Epsilon. Kappa Sigma, Pi Kappa Phi, Phi Gamma Delta. Theta Upsilon Omega, Phi Delta Theta, and Sigma Phi Epsilon. A lively rushing season began in early September and lasted for two weeks. During the week-end of September 22nd and 23rd, the various fra- ternities gave house parties at which time buffet suppers and entertainments of an informal nature were enjoyed. The end of rushing season found over a hundred new men pledged to the various lodges. Page Tivo Hundred Ticenty-eight Hunter All dances which were held were given under tlu' supervision of the Council. The first of these was presented the week-end of October 20th and 2 1 St in celebration of Home-coming Day. Many alumni returned for the festivities. There were two dances, a formal on Friday night and another on Saturday evening, both being held at the Charlotte Hotel with Nick Lancy and his orchestra furnishing the music. The Council sponsored another dance on November 1 1th with Scabbard and Blade, national honorary military fraternity, which was given the week- end of The Citadel football game. This is the first time that a dance was given by Scabbard and Blade and it will probably become an annual event. Archie Davis and his orchestra provided music for the occasion. Tommy Tucker and his Californians played for the Sophomore dances given the week-end of December 15th and 16th. Sophomore week-end proved to be one of the most delightful social affairs of the year. The committee in charge went to a lot of trouble and as a result the week-end was a great suc- cess, being well attended. The Mid-Winter dance featuring Emerson Gill and his famous band, was probably the most colorful event of the year. The Pan-Hellenic figure was led by Frederick L. Smyre, President of the Council, and the other Council mem- bers, fraternity presidents and their girls composed the list of others partici- pating. Many of the fraternities gave parties and banquets in connection with the week-end. The Juniors literally started the social ball rolling again March 23rd and 24th. A huge crystal ball was suspended in the middle of the spacious Armory- Auditorium and lights were allowed to play on it, producing a dazzling effect. Another unusual feature of this week-end was that on arriving each couple was given masques which they wore until intermission. Following the Easter vacation the Council sponsored the last of the series of dances for the year—the Bowery Ball. This is the big costume dance of the year and a holiday spirit prevails. Archie Davis and his orchestra played and many striking and attractive costumes were in evidence. This set of dances proved to be thoroughly enjoyable and officially marked the close of the social season. Page Two Hundred Twenty-ir.ne io l',-TllUMAS, I'lfSf.lfl R. X.

It was established in 1914 at Washington and Lee University, and took as its ideals recognition, inspiration, opportunity, and character. In 1917. the Delta Circle was established at Davidson. It has attained a high place in the eyes of tlie student body, and has come to exert considerable influence. It has served well as a clearing house for ideas—as leaders of all elements of the campus meet together with the faculty for discussion. One of its most important functions is the shaping of proper attitudes among the stu- dents, by the cooperative efforts of all brothers of Omicron Delta Kappa. Two "tap days" a year are held, at which bids are extended men who have been outstanding in scholarship, athletics, campus life, literary and forensic activities, and publications. Thus, Delta Circle brings together in one body for the general good of Davidson all leaders in the various forms of activities. Frederic Lewis Smyre has served as its able president for the year and W. M. Thompson as secretary and treasurer. The official publication of Omicron Delta Kappa is The Circle. a quarterly magazine. The badge of the fraternity is a key bearing the letters "O. D. K." between two bars enclosed in a circle with five stars on the upper h bar, date (1914) on the lower.

Lafferty Elbert Lane Willson Page Two Hundred Sixty-three Sigma Upsilon (Literary) i Founded at Scwanee College in 1906 Sigma Upsilon grew out of a federation of honorary literary groups in various colleges throughout the South. The Blue Pencil Chapter at Davidson was founded in 1915. Lyman Clardy has been the efficient president of this group during the past year. Meetings are held fortnightly, and this society is regarded as one of the most active honorary clubs on the campus. The Scarab is the official publication of the fraternity and appears quarterly. Membership into the club is confined primarily to lovers of literature and those who show particular ability along literary lines. Election of new men is held twice a year from the Sophomore, Junior and Senior classes. The colors of the fraternity arc dark green and old gold, and the flower is the jonquil. A literary person might be said to be one who has been granted freedom of expression in a wide sense and through books is able to frequent the greatest company, converse with philosophers, poets, scientists, historians, artists, and statesmen, and is alive to the thought and interests of his fellow-men. As Rus- kin has put it in "Sesame and Lilies," "do you ask to be the companion of nobles? Make yourself noble, and you shall be. Do you long for the con- versation of the wise.^ Learn to understand it, and you shall hear it." n Page Two Hundred Sixty-four VV. M. Thompson G. H.

The Davidson chapter was founded in 1923. The life of the local fraternity has been continuous since that date. Organization is modeled upon that of the United States Army, the various chapters being designated "companies." The Davidson unit is "B ' company. The national society is designated a division, composed of seven regiments, each containing 12 companies. Davidson is in the Sth regiment. The Scabbard and Blade is the official publication. The colors are red. white, and blue. The purpose of the local chapter is to raise the standard of military train- ing at Davidson and to unite in closer relationship the military department, to encourage and foster the development of tlie essential qualities of good and efficient officers, and to promote intimacy and good fellowship among its members. The qualities for membership do not rest on scholarship alone, but also on leadership, initiative, and character. Scabbard and Blade is particularly in- debted to its first honorary member. Col. Charles A. Curtis, U. S. Army, to whose suggestions, wisdom, counsel, and support in its early days, Scabbard and Blade owes a large measure of the success and rapid growth which have marked its progress. ilj Page Two Hundred Sixty-six HONORARY MEMBERS Frazer Hood Frank Lee Jackson John Wilson McConnell Harry McClellan Moffett Major John T.

It was founded in 1918 at Atlanta. Ga.. at a meeting of repre- sentatives from nine Southern colleges and universities. It's chapters became diffused throughout the country, and in 1920 its standards were revised so as to admit women as members, as well as men. The Phi Chapter was founded at Davidson in 1923 to succeed the old "Gavel and Forum Club," which had existed as a forensic organization for some years. Bids are issued twice a year to men who have shown exceptional ability and interest in public speaking on the campus. The debating team, literary societies, and Y. M. C. A. workers are represented. Meetings are held about once a month, which have proved valuable in stimulating interest in forensic development, both in regard to the individual members and to the student body. Speaking, both of a humorous and serious nature has comprised the programs, and it is hoped that Alpha Phi Epsilon will become even more active during the next year. The officers have been President.

Tuc I] International Relations Club (National and International Political Questions) 1 The International Relations Club was organized under the auspices of the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace in colleges and universities for the purpose of studying and discussing current problems and affairs of national and international importance. The local chapter at Davidson, established No- vember. 1914, has a membership of approximately thirty students and four faculty members. Meetings are held once a month and the programs this year have been unusually interesting and instructive. The officers for 1933-'34 are: L. W. Clardy. president: L. W. Pratt, vice-president: W, P. Sprunt. secretary-treasurer, and Dr. J. M. McConnell. faculty advisor. Dr. J. M. McConnell. Dr. T. W. Lingle and Professor Archi- i- bald Currie are charter members of the Davidson Chapter. The main purpose of the Carnegie Endowment in organizing the Inter- national Relations Club is to educate and enlighten public opinion. It is not to support any single view as to the best way to handle the conditions which prevail throughout the world, but rather to fix the attention of students on those underlying principles of international conduct, international law. and the organization which must be agreed upon if civilization is to remain peaceful. The activity of the Davidson club is shown by the fact that the conven- tion of the Southeastern Conference of the International Relations Club is to be held at the college in February of next year. Already plans have been made for an interesting program when Davidson plays host in 1935. 1 Page Two Hundred Seventy I HONORARY MEMBERS [J Cecil Kenneth Brown Thomas Wilson Lingle Archibald Currie Joseph Moore McConnell ACTIVE MEMBERS 19 3 4 Madison Armistead.

To begin with only those who take Greek or Latin are eligible for member- ship and second, only those who distinguish themselves in one or both of these languages is admitted into the charmed circle. At present there are forty-two ! chapters in the national organization, Alpha Nu being at Davidson. Interest in the classical languages has increased perceptibly during the past year. Dr. C. R. Harding, Professor of Greek at the college for more than forty 1 years, was retired by the Board of Trustees this year. The club owes a great 71 deal of its success to Dr. Harding for his interest and activity in the organi- zation since it was founded. Dr. Harding is in love with Greek and has succeeded in passing on some of his ardour for the classics to the undergraduates. Quite a number elect Greek each year, and several students are majoring in this study which is no mean accomplishment. The Nuntius is the publication of the fraternity. This publication is of a high order and is a worthy organ to represent the national organization. Several members of the Davidson chapter have held offices in the national organi- zation in the past due to their interest and activity in the fraternity. To some, the Gods are kind and they master Greek with case, but for others it is hard work and "the Greeks had a word for it." Page Two Hundred Seventy-two W. i\I. Thok W. T. Thomp G. H.

We offer you the services of a highly trained and efficient organization, which will aid you in the planning and compilation of your yearbook, thereby minimizing the worries and uncertainties incident to the publication of an annual. Correspondence Invited Acknowledgments In this, our final message, we wish to express our sincere thanks and deep appreciation to all those who are responsible for this year- book. While there are some imperfections, we feel that your loyalty justifies our saying that the publication is a success. It is a relief to know that our task is done, but with this relief there is mingled a tinge of sadness. No more interviews, no more night meetings, no more thrills that come when some little detail is completed. The staff is especially indebted to the following, who have been outstanding in the actual composition of the book: Messrs. W. J. Crichton, Jr.. and L. W. Hutchins. of the Observer Printing House, Charlotte. N. C; Everett Bierman. of the Charlotte Engraving Co.. and Kenneth W. Whitsett for his advice and suggestions; and also to the "college widows" of these men, who never know they have a husband when the annual season is on: H. Zamsky. of Zamsky Studios. Philadelphia, Pa., and Profs. J. M. Douglas. Sentelle, and t? Fleagle, Faculty Advisors. They have labored earnestly, sympa- thetically, and if it had not been for their mature judgment and wise counsel, this edition of QuiPS AND CRANKS would not have been possible. lo quote Shakespeare who puts it so admirably: There be some sports are painful, and their labor Delic/ht m them sets off ; some kinds of baseness Are nobly undergone and most poor matters Point to rich ends. This my mean task Would be as heavy to me as odious, but 1 The mistress luhich I serve quickens what's dead And makes my labours pleasures. 7! —"The Tempest." Jack Williams. Jr., Editor-in-Chief, B.
