Entered December 10, 1902, at Haverford, Pa., as Second Class Matter under Act of Congress of July 16, 1894 This is the first number of Volume IX of the Haver- ford College Bulletin. Hitherto it has been issued four or five times a year and has included the regular publi- cations of the College. We shall add to this three or four leaflets, of which this is the first, alternating with the larger issues. These are intended to give from an official source the more important College news and ideas. All of these eight numbers will be sent free to all mem- bers of the Haverford Union. This organization it is hoped will accomplish the purpose of bringing into closer association the various elements of College life—faculty, alumni, undergraduates. The building, thanks to the gen- erosity of Alfred Percival Smith, '84, is now completed and by the aid of Frederic H. Strawbridge, '87, and other friends is largely furnished. Its public opening was on Commencement Day. on the tenth of last June, when the alumni meeting was held there. The membership now amounts to about 250, a satisfactory beginning. But it is believed that many others will soon be added. Member- ship is of three sorts Active membership. $2.50 a year. Associate membership, $1.50 a year. Non-resident membership, $1.00 a year. Besides these there is life membership at $50, of which seventeen have taken advantage. Only active and life members take part in the government. The Treasurer is Dr. A. G. H. Spiers. Haverford. Pa. It is recognized that some of the members will be too distant to keep fully in touch with College doings, hence the free issuance to them of this periodical. The Union has received during the summer a gift of a fine oil painting of a Norway scene about six feet by four. The donor is Henry Pettit and is in memory of his friend, George Warder Bacon, '64, recently deceased. Mr. Smith has also largely furnished his end of the buildings with pictures and publications of great historic interest. Owing to the departure of Professor Jackson and the release for one year of Professors Pratt and Baker, there are three new men in the Faculty this year. Assistant Professor Albert H. Wilson comes to us from the Ala- bama Technical Institute, where he has been professor for five years. Prior to this he has been instructor in Princeton and graduate student of the University of Chicago. Among the services he will perform will be the effective reopening of our excellent Observatory. John Paul Givler in Biology is fresh from graduate study at Johns Hopkins, having previously taught in colleges in Minnesota and Kansas. Henry J. Cadbury, '03, in Greek, has been three years a teacher at Westtown School and as long a student of the Harvard Graduate School. Jonathan Force, A.B., of Columbia, is assistant in the Chem'cal Laboratory, and Alfred L. Atwood, A.B., of Amherst, is assistant in the Department of Physical Training. This last appointment is an addition to the teaching force and indicates an advance in our ideas in this field. At present he is coaching the football team, but the whole significance of his duties may not be immediately appar- ent. In many colleges, and the larger the college the greater the difficulty, the physical exercise is very violent for the teams and amounts to nothing for the others. During the football season a large portion of the stu- dents stands on the side lines and cheers the few players. This may be exhilarating, but is hardly serious enough for a boy of college age. It is proposed at llaverford to try to take advantage of our country location and small numbers and have many students physically engaged at reasonable hours. We hope this will be done, not by compulsion, but by the supply of equipment and other inducements in the shape of varied games adapted to different conditions. The object in view will be health and habits rather than match games. Dr. Babbitt will work out the system, which will necessarily be slow in attainment and Mr. Atwood is expected to be a valuable assistant. It is in reality to be the intimate correlation of games and physical training, an undertaking never fully developed in colleges and which Haverford has peculiar opportunities to bring about. The Freshman Class at the date of writing apparently numbers 44, and there are nine new admissions to the upper classes. The total number of students in College is about 150. The faculty contains eight professors regu- larly engaged in teaching, four associate professors, one lecturer, four instructors and three assistants. There are also a President, a Librarian, a Dean, a Registrar and a Superintendent, some of whom do not teach, making in all a force of twenty-two officials. The custom which the Facility has recently adopted of requiring that a stu- dent with a certain number of failures in examinations should take rank with the class below makes it difficult at present to give the numbers in the different classes. The year opens with the teaching force in good physical condition for work, except that Dean Palmer has had an accident in the Cambridge Laboratory, from which he fortunately escaped with only a temporary damage to his eyes, and Dr. Hancock has been suffering from a nervous breakdown from which he has largelv recovered. The question is often put to the President, "Why do you not stop hazing at Haverford?" The practice of recent years has been rather a folly than a danger, but it is something which is always peculiarly liable to abuse. The President would be glad to see it stopped, but it has been increasingly his policy to allow public sentiment to correct abuses rather than have the correction applied by disciplinary force from above. Nevertheless there are cases when a class finds itself through the operation of a tradition enforced by certain alumni and older under- graduates unable to do as it would wish to do, and a Faculty decree is welcome as a shield behind which to carry out its wishes. Signs are appearing which indi- cate that we are approaching this situation at Haverford. There are some valid excuses for hazing a few Fresh- men. No one wants the lowest class to act as if it was the principal factor in the College. But the remedy is out of all proportion to the offence, and can easily be superseded by a better one. The practice is disappearing each year from colleges. The movement will strike Haverford soon by one method or the other. The new Hall for Chemistry will probably be completed near New Year. The subscriptions from about three hundred contributors amount to over $40,000, which will nearly complete the bare building. Some $10,000 or $15,000 more will be needed to make a complete equip- ment, and then this department will be prepared for many years to come. Should any Haverfordian reading this feel drawn to extend further aid, the money may be sent to the Treasurer of the College, A. S. Wing, 409 Chest- nut street, Philadelphia. When the move is made into the new hall, the old chemical quarters can be used to increase the facilities for the physical and biological work. This will hardly be permanently a satisfactory arrangement, but will answer our conditions for the near future. The new hall will also supply a great need of the college in giving us a large room for recitations and lectures which will be available for other than scientific courses.

  • 2012 a Record to Commemorate the Seventy–Fifth Anniversary of the Club
    WOODVILLE DISTRICT CRICKET CLUB 1937 – 2012 A RECORD TO COMMEMORATE THE SEVENTY–FIFTH ANNIVERSARY OF THE CLUB INTRODUCTION In September, 2012 the Woodville District Cricket Club celebrated its seventy-fifth anniversary. This publication includes references to the early Woodville Cricket Club first formed in 1874, and a history relating to the establishment of the Club in 1937 and its progress to admission to the South Australian Cricket Association District Cricket Competition. I have drawn on two publications that I have previously produced: - June, 1976 titled “ History of the Woodville District Cricket Club Inc. 1937-1976 “ prepared in conjunction with the centenary celebrations of the City of Woodville (1), and - September, 2009 - “Woodville District Cricket Club- Performances, Statistics and Other Club Records: 1937/1938 - 2008/2009” (2). The 75th anniversary has provided the opportunity to consolidate Club records. As a consequence this publication includes a comprehensive record of office holders, the significant achievements and performances of players along with other statistical details of Club performances. Parts II-VI includes these records and represents a collection established, added to, and maintained since 1973. The records and statistics do track the path of history. In some instances the date of creating the particular record is shown. What is produced in relation to player performances and State representation do not include the separate State and A Grade One Day and Twenty20 competitions. The contribution that many individuals have made to the establishment and performance of the Club, and its enduring existence over its 75 year history can, to some extent, be measured by what is recorded in the various parts of this publication.

  • 1896 Australian Team for 18 Runs Long After Details Are Forgotten
    Saturday 4 January, page 7: CRICKET “Wisden” this year quite maintains its good name as the standard record of the game. Cricketers invariably look for a fresh feature to introduce them to the analysis of the previous summer’s work; and, although the present volume contains no such heated controversy as “throwing in first-class cricket,” dealt with in the last annual, those who follow the great national pastime will find something of which the true cricketer never tires of hearing – the genius of W G Grace. In a year made famous by the champion’s completion of his hundred hundreds the editor of “Wisden” found his special subject almost imperative, and called in the aid, in the way of contributions, of Lord Harris, the president of the Marylebone Club, and Mr A G Steel. Both given their reminiscences of the greatest of players, and both will e read with interest. But one would have liked them longer. Mr Steel writes cricket almost as well as he played it, and more might well have been acceptable from the gentleman who helped to give the cricket volume of “Badminton” its great popularity. Mr Steel describes Dr Grace’s style of batting, and in closing his chapter pays the following tribute: - “There have been some who for a short period have given reason for the belief that his position as champion batsman was being dangerously assailed. I allude to such names as W L Murdoch, A Shrewsbury and A E Stoddart. That belief was, however, fleeting. W G Grace has proved his batting to be immensely superior to every other cricketer.” Lord Harris believes that W.G.’s later style of batting is quite different from what it was between 1870 and 1880, and explains in what way.

  • A HISTORY of CLUB CRICKET in COUNTY DURHAM Chapter One
    A HISTORY OF CLUB CRICKET IN COUNTY DURHAM Chapter One..........The eighteenth century In the beginning The first recorded cricket match in Durham was at Raby Castle in 1751. It was five years after the Duke of Cumberland and bayoneted Redcoats slogged through the county’s mud on their way to the Battle of Culloden. Defoe’s account of his travels through Great Britain had not long been published. Defoe found nothing remarkable in Darlington or Chester-le-Street except “dirt” but was impressed by Lumley Castle and acknowledged Lumley coal the best in the country. He thought Durham a “compact neatly contriv’d city” where clergy lived “in all the splendour and magnificence imaginable”. Durham cathedral and Saint Cuthbert’s remains were a shrine for pilgrims but the city was a vulnerable haven riding on a cut-throat sea. The poor lived in slums; the populace was prey to vagabonds, footpads and highwaymen. The Bishop of Durham bewailed “the scorn of religion”. His flock scratched a living on the land or burrowed beneath it for lead and coal; their leisure centred upon drinking and blood sports like cock-fighting. In 1742 John Wesley came across a village “inhabited by colliers only, and as such had been always in the first rank for savage ignorance, and wickedness of every kind. Their grand assembly used to be on the Lord’s Day on which men, women and children met together to dance, fight, curse, and swear, and play chuck-ball, span farthing, or whatever came to hand.” Somehow, sometime the game of cricket took root in these parts.
