Fortunate indeed, then, is the youth entering the Medical profession.‘ In this field of health service, he is offered an opportunity to devote a lifetime for the , benefit of humanity; and through a career of unselfish work he will be ever inspired by the plaudits of a grateful nation. School of Medicine MEDICAL SCHOOL ATTAINS HIGH STANDARDS Headed by one of the most capable groups of instructors ever gathered to- gether, and with ample facilities for lead- ing students into the latest word and deed of medical science, the University Medical School holds an enviable position as a pro- fessional institution. Located on the cam- pus of the University, the school prepares University men for the practice of scientific medicine; teaches him medical ethics and DR. WILLIAM S.

HEARD, Pmfemor of Medicine history so that he may fulfill his duty to the people and understand his obligations to his fellow practitioners; and leads him to an understanding of his responsibility in the support of proper standards and ideals of medicine. High on the hill in Pennsylvania Hall, the medical student re- ceives his first two years of instruction. Added to this is a well known University Medical Center which has grown in the past year by completion of the new Presby- terian Hospital, by addition of a new wing to the general University Hospital for use of the Medical School, and by the erection of a new Psychiatric Hospital‘ by the State under special grant on University owned ground with the agreement that the hos- pital will be used for teaching purposes. Further accommodation for the physicians- to—be is being made ready for next term in the rejuvenation of the old Mellon In- stitute. To these campus facilities are added the unexcelled quarters of the many Pittsburgh hospitals,iMercy, St. Francis, Allegheny General, Magee, Eye and Ear, Children's and the Tuberculosis League Hospital. Here the clinical teachings of the third and DR. CHARLES ZIEGLER, fourth years are carried out with the last Profextor of 0/zxtetrics word in medical equipment. 108 IN MEMORIAM 1870 ~ 1938 DR. RALEIGH RUSSELL HUGGINS DEAN OF THE SCHOOL OF MEDICINE The medical profession has had none more illustrious and de- voted to service than Dr. Raleigh Russell Huggins. Throughout his professional life Pittsburgh has been provided with his leadership as general practitioner, surgeon, medical educator and civic leader. His guidance as Medical Director and Chief of Gynecological Service has done much to carry the Elizabeth Steel Magee Memorial Hospital to the front rank among institutions of its kind in this country. He was a member of Alpha Omega Alpha, Sigma Xi, the American Association of Gynecologists, the American Medical As- sociation, the American College of Surgeons, and the American Association of Obstetricians, Gynecologists, and Abdominal Surgeons. Since his appointment as Dean in 1919, the University of Pitts- burgh School of Medicine has grown in the courage and persistence of his leadership so that there is now nearing completion on the campus a Medical Center the value and importance of which is beyond computation, the fruition of his hopes and visions. But another monument equally befitting his generous nature is the deep respect universally accorded him by his professional colleagues and the warm, abiding affection of his students. 109 HOSPITALS IN WHICH MEDICAL Magcc Hospital Tubcrclosis Hospital Children's Hospital 110 STUDENTS RECEIVE TRAINING Eye and Ear Hospital Mercy Hospital Falk Clinic 11] Introducing: The Meds Professionally speaking Asphyxia neoratorum Inverted T waves Hit me again P.

For Alpha Omega Alpha is the only honorary medical society of its kind in the United States and Canada. The standards and aims of the fraternity are high, and its members are selected from the higher part of the classes. The purposes of the society are, the promotion of high edu- cational standards and research in medical schools, the encouragement of a fine stand- ard of character and conduct among medi- cal students and graduates, and the recog- nition of outstanding attainment and achievement in scholarship and medical practice. Membership is based entirely upon scholarship and character. 113 Dr. William Webster Root at the College of Medicine of the University of Illinois in 1902, the fraternity has grown rapidly un- til today it has chapters in forty medical schools of the highest rank throughout the United States and Canada. The University chapter, Gamma, was established in 1916, largely through the efforts of Dr. C. C. Guthrie. Numbered among the members of the chapter are many of the most promi- nent physicians of Pittsburgh and its en- virons. The group's annual social function is a banquet which is attended by many alumni and at which an address is given by an outstanding member of the medical profession.

History has been richly endowed with the creations of these scientists, who keep eternal vigil endeavoring to preach the cloud of pain and suffering which shrouds the human race. Every nation pays hum- ble tribute to the men whose Work is the merciful alleviation of pain and the com- pounding of nature’s remedies. School of Pharmacy PHARMACY SCHOOL PREPARES STUDENTS FOR PROFESSIONAL SKILL The little red schoolhouse of story book tales still exists, and indeed is even a part of our own University. For it is in such a building located on the Blvd. of the Allies at Pride Street in which the School of Pharmacy is housed. Here the students are young men and women working, experi- menting, and perfecting their knowledge of remedial solvents. They are people be- ing equipped with the proper background for successful careers in the profession of Pharmacy. In this building there are lab- oratories for practical training and first- hand research; a library of about 3,875 volumes, which contain worthwhile and instructional material of special interest to Pharmacists; here, too, they have an asso- ciation that brings them in contact with the problems of the Pharmacist in the out- side world, as well as in closer contact with each other. Yet, there is a similarity to the red brick schoolhouse for this one has a garden, but no flowers are raised here. Instead, a great many species of medicinal Bomny DR. ALBERT F. JUDD, Profu- .r0r of Amzlytztal Chemistry 124 plants are grown, and the students are af- forded an opportunity to study oflicial drugs from the primary source to the medi- cinal remedy. And, as in books, the stu- dents have their play as well as their work. The American Pharmaceutical Association has a local student branch, directed entire- ly by students, which carries out a broad program of study and entertainment. Dur- ing the past year the association presented a series of lectures by outstanding men in the field of Pharmacy, several social affairs, and a most enjoyable dance at the Pines. Other social affairs sponsored by the so- rority and two fraternities of the school helped to relieve the burden of long hours of intensive study and laboratory work. Led by Dean C. Leonard O'Connell, the school has had a highly successful year. and climaxed its activities by taking an active part in the annual Pharmacy Con- ference which was held in Pittsburgh this year. DR.

CARR Members included in picture are: Haeckler, Glick, Wade, Carnahan, Gillespie, Karel, Michalec, Rosenberg, Kunz, Klein “Boston or else" has been the past year's motto for the girls of Lambda Kappa Sigma, women's pharmaceutical fraternity, because this summer their national conven- tion, which meets biennially, will take place in Boston. With Eva Rosenberg as the promoter, they have planned for a con- vention excursion and, through raffles, candy sales, and general economizing, have saved to make this goal a reality. Last fall, the Lambda Kappa Sigmas wasting no time in starting their years program, had a picnic in North Park on Registration Day. Later they celebrated their founder's day at a "Fall Frolic” in the Hotel Schenley. This, the Delta chap- ter of Lambda Kappa Sigma, was founded 126 at the University in 1918 by fifteen students. Five pledges were formally initiated on February the tvventy—eighth at a banquet in the club dining-room of the East Liberty YWCA. Favors for this affair were minia- ture dolls dressed in pastel shades. The group observed Hygeia Day in March by giving a tea. A medical mission- ary from China was the guest speaker. Junior and senior members of the soror- ity took a trip to Detroit this spring to visit the laboratories of the Parke Davis Company. Before closing their program for the school year, Lambda Kappa Sigma held two annual affairs, their Spring Swing in April and the traditional banquet for seniors late in May.

CLAUS Members included in picture are: Malloy, Bradel, Vandervort, Peel, Mack, McMillin Craven, Julian, Poust, Ryall, Bloor Robinson, Kealev, Jeffreys Among the many other good things that suffered from the depression were the members of Kappa Psi fraternity who were forced to give up their house and publica- tion of their monthly magazine, Tlae Mark. But that was way back when, and these pharmacy students haven’t been idle. Their first step toward reorganization is the reviving of The Mark, because they know that this will bring the alumni into step with the strong active chapter in remedying their “houseless" condition. The boys still find time away from their work and studies to have regular meetings and to remember their neophytes, pledged only from the upper third of each class, at the end of the first freshman semester. Their initiation week culminates in a rough initiation at South Park, and the 127 formal initiation banquets are held at Child's private dining room downtown. The local chapter, Beta Kappa of Kappa Psi, also leads in the lighter vein of school life and has several fine dances on their social calendar. Their fall dance was held at Bill Greens and even now the members are debating whether that club or a country club should be used for their Spring Formal. The local chapter is one of fifty- one chapters established at accredited pharmacy schools throughout the country. When, in 1925 the pharmacy and medical interests parted company, the fraternity suffered a serious blow. Now, in the 59th year of Kappa Psi, the graduate and active chapters are engaged in a unified effort to reestablish the brothers of scarlet and cadet gray into a firm, national organiza- tion. cSM1l0’U$ SCHOOL OF PHARMACY Philip J. ugustine Charles F.

In endeavoring to give a fuller meaning to this ideal, a most sig- nificant step has been the extension of higher learning through evening schools. As a result, the intellectual glories and practical benefits of a University training have been placed within the reach of those who otherwise would be unable to enjoy them. 132 Evening Division EVENING DIVISION EXPANDS ACADEMIC PROGRAM Miss Frances Beard Xecretdfiy af tbe Evening Divixian Thirty-five hundred students, men and women, some specializing in subjects re- lated to their vocations, others coming to satisfy avocational interests, all part time students have found increasing satisfaction in the program of the evening session. During the academic year more than two- hundred and fifty courses were included in the Division's program, with five univer- sity schools, the College, Graduate school, Business Administration, Engineering and 133 Mines, and Education participating. Fre- quently electives have been included in these courses that were not available in the day session. The excellent facilities of the day school were also made available to the members of the Evening Session, giving Pittsburgh students an unusual opportuni- ty for doing part time university work on an accredited basis. Coupled with the at- tractive schedule is a firm belief that a stu- dent has no right to feel that because he is unable to go to college by the full-time day route, he must miss the glamor of the extra- curricular life at college. Therefore the Evening Division has included a social pro- gram designed to reach the varied interests of the entire student body. Beside the many organizations and fraternities, the Evening Students’ Association fostered many features for the whole student body. The Commons Room aided greatly in the spirit of fellowship and unity, first as a setting for the Open House during the first few weeks of the school year, and again for the traditional carol singing at Christmas. Throughout the year members were at- tracted to the seasonal dances by cleverly entitled “Harvest Festival", “Snow Flake Hop", “Lion and Lamb Frolic", and “Spring Prom." The friendships engen- dered by this program add much to the attractive schedule of the Evening Students Division.

LUTHER Members included in picture are: Painter, Drake, Wirth, Headlev, Schauweker, Luther Gorrnan, Uphoff, Reed Only members in the American Institute of Banking can register for the AIB courses offered as a separate division in the School of Business Administration. Although AIB is predominantly an educational or- ganization, it has listed on its schedule forums, touts, a public relations program, a separate women’s club, and a social rogram. All of the forums were held at dinner meetings in the William Penn Hotel. Ad- dressing the first of the year's five forums, Mr. C. F. Zimmerman, secretary of the Pennsylvania Banker's Association, dis- cussed the 44 hour bill and its effect on banking. The next dinner-forum meeting featured a talk given by Mr. Philip A. Benson, first vice president of the American Bankers Association, in whose honor the dinner was given. Other outstanding speakers to address the AIB forum group 135 were: Honorable M. S. Szymczak, member of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System; Montefort Jones, assistant dean of the School of Business Administra- tion; and Lewis E. Pierson, chairman of the Board of Regents of the Graduate School of Banking. AIB carried on an extensive public rela- tions program by sending speakers out in the field to churches, clubs, and high schools, to educate the people on the func- tions of banking. Outstanding on the social calender was their formal dinner-dance held in the William Penn Hotel attracting members of AIB from all over the state. In addition, the AIB held four dances for the members and their families. The Women's Commit- tee had their own calendar made up of bridge parties, a spring style show, and a picnic to close the year.

This has only been one of the many interesting trips and speakers which have been scheduled by Kappa Alpha Psi this year. One of the members, who is working in the business under consideration, at- ranges these trips, not as sight—seeing tours, but for their informative value. Last year, trips were taken through Connelley Trade School, Carnegie-Illinois‘ new strip mill, and the Commonwealth Trust Co. Among the outstanding speakers to address the Alpha Kappa Psi's were Mr. Clinton S. Golden, regional director of the Steel Workers’ Organizing Committee, on “Leadership in Labor Unions"; and John 136 B. Nicklas, discussing “The Judiciary System." Featuring the Alpha Kappa Psi social program was the weekly Wednesday luncheon held in the downtown Y.M.C.A. At these affairs topics of the day were dis- cussed, the conversation being led by an unrevealed speaker, who conducted these discussion-lecture forums. Other social affairs on the program included a Men's Night with a buffet supper, floor show, and bridge at the Schenley Hotel, and a rushing party held in the lounge. Mr. john B. Nicklas, district councilor of Alpha Kappa Psi, was the principal speaker. This year's activity was brought to a close by two banquets, the first held in honor of Mr. C. C. Shepard, a founder of the local chapter, and his wife. DELTA MU DELTA Prmident . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . JOHN D. BROWN Secretary . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .LoU1sE C. TABOR Faculty Secretary-Trea.rurer MR. LLOYD MAHONY Members included in the picture are: Owens, Mahoney, Brown, Tabor, Romig Snowdon, Thompson, Hanna, Levey, De Villars, Chadwick After several years of striving toward a degree in the Evening School, some incen- tive is needed to encourage the students toward their far away goal. It is Delta Mu Delta’s purpose to supply this drive to the high ranking sophomore students with a scholastic average of at least 2.0 in the Evening Division of the school of Business Administration. While the honor bestowed upon the sophomore does not carry much social activity with it, the Delta Mu Delta fra- ternity sponsors numerous educational and professional programs. Meetings were held in the Cathedral and subjects for dis- cussion mainly centered around preparing 137 freshmen for membership in the organiza- tion. Letters were sent to the outstanding freshmen, who had not yet met the re- quirements entitling them to membership. These brought their attention to the purposes and high aims of the society in the hope that they would become eligible for membership in their sophomore year. In March, the fraternity met at a down- town restaurant in pursuance of its policy of choosing an outstanding local business executive to become an honorary member in Delta Mu Delta. This was followed by the annual banquet and initiation held at the Schenley Hotel at which the newly inducted members delivered a talk relating to their daily occupations.

All women in the school of Business Administration are invited to membership. This year, as in the past, a key was awarded to the woman in the school who excelled in scholarship and extra—curricular activities. This year's program of activity was headed by the annual National Convention held for four days in June at the Schenley 138 Members included in the picture are: Kittel, Thomas, Dean, Tabor, McGill Hofackcr, Bill, Schmidt, Butkieswicz Hotel. The social season was opened in October with a tea held in the Women's City Club at which the women in the school of Business Administration were entertained by Edna Hazlett, a Chartered Life Underwriter, who spoke on “Woman's Opportunity in the Insurance Field.” Before the year ended Phi Chi Theta was hostess to the women students at two more teas and at a Monte Carlo Whistwill. Other social activities of the Phi Chi Thetas included a Christmas party at one of the members’ home, a Spring luncheon, and the Spring Ramble. The most out- standing of these dinner affairs was the Founders Day Dinner held at Graystone Manor.

Women in Evening Session who wish to enjoy the fuller campus life belong to the Pitt Women’s Club. This organization is social in character, its main purpose being to bring together the women attending evening classes, and is open to all evening women students. Most prominent of the Pitt Women's Club activities is the lunch service that it sponsors, the proceeds of which are added to a scholarship fund. Two scholarships are offered each semester to two women in the club who have a high scholarship average and who are outstanding in school activities. This year, Pitt Women's Club, with the largest membership in its history, spon- sored many novel affairs. The social pro- 139 gram started in October with a Welcome Tea and was highlighted each successive month through June by an unusual affair. In November the club held a Thanksgiving party featuring table games and was fol- lowed in January by a Twelfth Night Party, held at the Schenley Hotel. Other outstanding social activities included a musical featuring the baritone voice of Mr. Lloyd Mahony, director of the Evening School, an April Fool’s party, an annual banquet at the College Club, and a Spring bridge held on the terrace garden of the Schenley Hotel. The activities for the year were concluded with a business meeting followed by a picnic and the induction of new oflicers. “EXTRA-CURRICULAR WORK" is the official title for this section; dance chairmen and their committee members, the staffs of the publica- tion, dramatic, and musical groups are all part of the “key” men in the University.

Tesh Samuel Werlinich Ann Whippo Franklin Widney Alex Willson STUDENT PROJECTS FULFILLED BY SFA By far the largest and most active organi- zation on campus, and the one whose poli- cies have had the greatest effect on student life is the Student Faculty Association. This group provides an opportunity for students and faculty members to work to- gether on common problems concerning the life of the student at the University. The assembly is composed of thirty stu- dents and ten faculty members, who deter- mine the policies for the campus, while several committees of interested and capa- ble students carry out the issues in many campus projects. This year the Association guided by a highly capable Executive Committee com- pleted one of the broadest programs since its inception in 1934. The weekly meet- ings of the Committee became indispensa- ble in acting upon the issues laid down by the Assembly in its monthly meeting, be- side making final selection of chairmen of the various student functions from the names recommended by the Appointments Committee. Early in the academic year, the organi- zation concerned itself with the many problems involved in moving the classes into the Cathedral of Learning. As a result of the efforts of the Parking and Traffic Committee chairmanned by Albert Kairys, Ruskin Field and the Schenley Plaza were opened to University students for parking. Again in regard to lunch room facilities, the Lounge and Lunchroom Committee came to a partial solution of the problem by securing the University Tuck Shop for students. 143 Added to the many solutions of student needs were the programs fostered by the Assembly. Included in the SFA sponsored programs were the student pep-assembly prior to the Pitt-Nebraska game, a student assembly in February when Chancellor Bowman addressed the group, the Demon- stration Block where one thousand stu- dents added greatly to the glamor of a suc- cessful football year. Regular semi-weekly meetings sponsored by the SFA Concert Hours Committee and SFA Forum Com- mittee brought such celebrities as john Jacob Niles to the campus providing un- excelled opportunities for personal and cultural growth in the form of musicales and lectures.

Among the duties of Men's Council is the administration of Men's Customs. The thirteen councilmen assisted by many campus leaders meet each freshman class at registration, and start them on a ten week program of counselors, orientation groups, and freshman meetings, so that they may orient the beginners in their new life. Senior tribunal with its dignified court ritual is the Men's Council way of ending the training period. Here one hundred outstanding freshmen are awarded special placques for particular progress made during their training. A second feature of the Men’s Council program is the Transfer Student's Smoker held at the beginning of each semester. Here upperclassmen, coming from other schools, are given a chance to make new friends and become acquainted with Pitt ways immediately. The Student Book Exchange is a new— and one of the best—projects under Men's Council direction. Until such work was begun, the lack of a central clearing point for used student texts was slow and expensive. 145 As a matter of interest, Men's Council is a unique organization particularly in its election methods. At the end of each year, the members themselves select half the junior and sophomore men to Council for the following term. Their claim is that such a system insures a continuation of policy, which cannot radically be changed by the appointment of other members at the regulation elections in May.

Once a month, the doors of Heinz House close for a WSGA Commission meeting, at which representatives of every organiza- tion in which women participate here on campus, meet and discuss activities prob- lems. Welcoming Freshmen into Pitt's campus life, WSGA sponsors “Mixer Dances" as one means of aiding the Freshman’s debut into social activities. Through Customs Committee, WSGA tests the Frosh‘s knowledge of University traditions in the Customs exams. After passing these tests, proud Freshies discard green armbands for jaunty blue and gold ones. The Unit Advisory Council of WSGA includes ten Freshman units and their upperclass ad- visors, while WSGA's Housing Board helps out of town Pittites find comfortable rooming facilities, and provides oppor- tunities for the newcomers to make friends 146 Preridem‘ . . . . . . . . . . .THYRSA AGNEss AMos Vzte—Pruiderzt . . . . . . .MARY JANE BEACHLER Secretary . i . . . . . . . . .MARY LEE NICHOLSON Trmmrer . . . . . . . . . .MARY JANE PATTERSON WOMEN 'S ACTIVITIES with their fellow strangers under the same roof. Women's Day Assembly is sponsored by WSGA in commemoration of the first women to enroll at the University of Pitts- burgh in 1895. This year's forty-third anniversary found the first two women graduates of Pitt, the Misses Margaret and Stella Stein present at the unveiling of their pictures, done in charcoal by a later graduate, Miss Esther Williams. WSGA's Scholar's Day Tea provides the oppor- tunity for the lucky tappees to honoraries and recipients of scholastic awards, to be congratulated by their fellow students in the Commons Room of the Cathedral. But Leader’s Institute winds up a heavy year of activities for WSGA. Gathered together in Heinz House, campus leaders chosen for the following year's activity oflices, meet together for guidance and valuable sug- gestions from their predecessors. Then WSGA closes house for the year, leaving a clean slate for next year’s activity leaders.

By means of dances held during the year, a large Student Loan Fund is maintained to aid in the payment of tuitions. The Loan Fund is added to after each dance, for the profits from them make up the Fund. Staging one formal and two infor- mal dances this season, the Association sets the admission low enough to allow even those with shoe-string pleasure budg- ets enjoy campus dances for no more than a dollar and a half. The CA is noted for its advertising originality. Stand-out in evoking enthusiasm for the year was its publicity for the annual Thanksgiving dance, paraphrasing a popular song, CA 147 cleverly advertised "Twilight and Tur- key", offering live gobblers as door prizes. Leaders of this year's dances were Ted Whitaker and Ray Light, president and vice-president respectively. Along with the twenty other members of the CA, all drawn from the College proper and equally representing each class, Whitaker and Light met several times each month to debate questions relating to the College. Not finding time to include the regular stu- dent assemblies usually sponsored by the CA, they worked with that excess energy on ticket sales for their dances, enlarging the Fund no little. Members of the College Association are elected at regular student elections each Spring, along with members of SFA and Men’s Council.

In the new Y.W. office on the ground floor of the Cathedral, presided over by new executive secretary, Mrs. Emmet C. Barr, Y members can be found any hour of the day, planning conferences and chatting about social events of the group. Starting out the year's activities at the Y.W. Hearth Ceremony held in Heinz House, freshman received their first introduction to the round of ac- tivities, which characterizes the Univer- sity’s Y.W. Grouped around Heinz House's open fireplace, frosh and upper- class women renew old and new acquaint- enship and start new ones, in the friendly give and take of informal conversation. This ceremony, patterned after a similar custom of ancient Rome, is the Y.W.'s way of including the newcomers in the Y pro- gram, thus making them feel at home, and at the same time, feel a part of the organ- ization itself. A Fall Friendship Fry, held in Schenley Park, further spreads this feel- ing of informality and participation in the 148 University’s activities. The Upperclass Clubs really form the nucleus of the Y.W. These mixed groups meet twice a month for supper meetings, discussing subjects ranging from "Marriage Preparation," to the “Japanese Boycott," their essential purpose being to further Y comradeships, and provide social opportunities for its members to enjoy good times together. In- quiry Forum, held every Monday noon of the year, encourages individual participa- tion in discussions of campus problems and national affairs, under the leadership of such speakers as Lieutenant Colonel W. E. B. Covell, Robert Kleeb, Howard Keater, and Lyman Hoover. Similarly, the Insti- tute of Public Affairs discuss local and na- tional affairs of public interest. Delegates to the various Intercollegiate Conferences such as the Middle Atlantic Regional Con- ference at Eagles Mere, bring back new ideas and suggestions from other campi to spur interest in Y members. The annual picnic in June, held this year at South Park, winds up Y.W.C.A.'s activities for the year, and Y members start out for vari- ous conferences from which to derive in- spiration for next year’s program.

The activities centered around a five point emphasis that included within it the major parts of the Association program. Committees on Public Affairs, Personal and Cultural Growth, Religious Emphasis, Social Ac- tivities, and Community Service organized within each of the upperclass clubs, were coordinated in a campus wide program. Under the guidance of these groups, the campus played host to many nationally known personalities. Early in the year Grace Loucks Elliot, reknowned lecturer on personal relationships addressed the members in two seminars. A religious em- phasis week in February was lead by Dr. Douglas Horton of Chicago University and other local leaders in a three day pro- gram on campus, looking to a renewal of the basic Christian concepts. Added to the outstanding programs pre- 149 sented by these committees, were the many features of the Y program that have be- come an integral part of campus life. In- quiry Forum continued its weekly forum meetings with authorities on dpublic ques- tions while the regular holi ay worship services were supplemented with five ex- ceptionally fine Lenten Services in the new Stephen Foster Memorial. The tradition- ally successful Freshman Camp provided almost two hundred freshmen and upper- classmen with a never-to-be-forgotten experience. Included in the many other off-campus retreats, conferences and study groups was the National Student Assembly at Miami University in Oxford, Ohio in which eight of the Y members joined with students from all over the world in estab- lishing the policies for Student Christian Organizations. The broad social program that found activity filling every week of the school year was completed with a picnic at South Park, but not before these energetic students had laid the tracks for next year's train of events.

Through debating and formal discussions, the Women's Debating team has carried topics of social and economic interest from Pitt to other college campi. At Leetsdale, Schenley and Allderdice High Schools, Pitt coeds held extension debates, discussing subjects of high school interest. Discuss- ing the “National Labor Relations Board," the Women's Debating team could be found this year holding extension debates at Ava- lon High School, North Side League of Women Voters, Women's Club of Turtle Creek, and the Bloomfield and Rodgers Parent-Teacher Association. Proving their ability not only on campus and in neighboring vicinities, the team toured such campi as Seton Hill, Gettys- burg, Bucknell, Ohio Wesleyan and A1- 150 TO DEBATE OR NOT TO DEBATE: THAT IS THE QUESTION legheny. Up on the last word in debating tactics, the Debating team broadcast over a local radio station in February, when they challenged Penn States’ Women's De- bating team. Any girl interested in the Women's Debating group may have a fair chance to prove her ability. Different girls are chosen for each debate, thus providing an opportunity for each girl to debate sev- eral times a year. But Women's Debating Association has not only given the campus a worthy reputation to boast of, but has been of real service to campus activity lead ers as well, by publishing a pamphlet known as “Pitt Pointers on Parliamentary Procedures." After its first appearance in activity circles, that booklet was destined to become an authority, present at all for- mal meetings, and considered the last word on meeting procedure. These ambitious debaters have not only benefited them- selves but have answered the prayer of every assembly chairman on campus!

Hitting a new high in the number of debates given, the terri- tory covered, and the schools met, the Freshman and Varsity teams debated four widely—i-anged subjects; compulsory arbi- tration for labor, unicameral legislature, industrial unionism, and an American League of Nations. Representative of the prominent schools met this past season are Southern California, Missouri, Stanford, North Carolina, Penn State, and Puerto Rico. The combined Freshmen and varsity men took part in seventy-seven debates, the University being fortified by the largest squad in years. The Debating Association employs all three types of debate~Stand- ard, Oregon, and Informal Discussion— and has so impressed judges and listeners that some of their arguments have been in- 151 Springer, Siegal McKenna, Fritzmeier, Lomas, Stark, Dizenfeld, Richman Michael, Aldisert, Hahn, Lieber, Robie, Mateer Ludwig, Wedner, Cannon. Harman, Janata Toig, Ackerman, Frankovich DEBATERS APPEAR BEFORE 15,000 PEOPLE DURING PAST YEAR cluded in nationally circulated debate handbooks. The team also succeeded in garnering for itself two choice invitations for radio debating. One debate took place over a local station; the other was at the special invitation of Doctor Bernard C. Clausen, and was aired over the well- known "Town Meeting of the Air." Debate audiences this year have included groups ranging from women's clubs and high school assemblies to business men's clubs and unemployed citizens’ leagues. Always seeking to better themselves by discovering faults in delivery and tech- nique, the debaters ask candid, anonymous criticism of their efforts. This season is generally conceded to have been the most successful in years. Not pursuing favorable decisions primarily, the Men's Debating Association has been re- warded by kindly audience reception, ex- cellent recommendations from recognized debate authorities.

Later in the winter, outings were held at Laurel Ridge, where W.A.A. members and Board went horseback riding, skiing, and held snow- ball fights. Evenings were spent grouped around the open fireplace, making plans for the coming year. Back to school, with the members of W.A.A. horseback riding, swimming, dancing, and playing most any game—— basketball, hockey, archery, golf, tennis, or soccer, while the women's tennis team of the University of Pittsburgh fared very well in com eting against Tech, Duquesne, P.C.W., an Mt. Mercy this year and now look for new fields to conquer. Sponsoring a coed—prom for the Fresh- man women in October, at the University Club, the president of W.A.A., Louise Baughman, furnished the freshmen with a Clever floor show, all school talent provid- ing the entertainment during the inter- mission. W.A.A. invited every woman on 152 campus to attend a regular Cabaret held at Heinz House, with the cabaret given in regular style~candles stuck in beer bottles, favors as paper hats and whistles, a special floor show composed of W.A.A. talent, and dancing to orchestra recordings. The traditional Christmas dinner, the Yuletide Feast, was served in true English Yuletide fashion—no forks, only candle light, pork and baked beans, and English pudding. Dinner began with the tradi- tional bringing in of the boat's head, fol- lowed by the carrying in of the yule log and a dance around the log. Page Roberta Webb and two cavorting clowns, Betty Murphy and Grace Bour, provided a hilarious costume dance for the feasters. W.A.A. play day for all women of the University was chairmanned by Mary A. Weidle, a swimming champ. Members of the association gave demonstrations in diving and swimming forms, followed by novelty races and recreational water games, in which all the bystanders participated. Closing their social program for the year, W.A.A. sponsored their annual Senior dinner, at which gifts were pre- sented to the most outstanding Senior members of the Class of '38.

Richardson Ernest Rose Sam Werlinich lone Williams “A MODERN UNIVERSITY,” ANNOUNCEMENT THEME Although the new University seal has been used since September it will be for- mally introduced in the Senior Class An- nouncement for 1938. The seal is centered on the cover of the twenty-seven page an- nouncement. Embossed in blue and gold the seal is drawn on a background of either white roan leather or bound cardboard. A blue leather thong binds the leather covered booklet and a blue tassel cord holds together the cardboard booklet. At the bottom of the cover, below the seal, burnished in gold leaf in old English type are the words, "The Class of 1938. " When the announcements appear they will verify chairman Bob Gerrity's report that it was to be one of the most attractive covers ever designed by a senior class. In its effort to edit a booklet that is truly different the 153 committee centered the announcement around the theme “A Modern University." Scattered throughout the booklet are four- teen illustrations of campus life. It was through the courtesy of the OWL that the most recent pictures of the Cathedral's arches, students lolling on the steps of Stephen Foster Memorial, or the walls of Lilly Court, or strolling across the cut to Heinz Chapel were shown in this year's announcements. The opening page bears an engraving of the Cathedral of Learning. Then comes a listing of Senior Week Events, Senior Committees, Olficers of Ad- ministration, and candidates for gradua- tion. Engraved on the last page is the Alma Mater with an underprint of the Foster Memorial. DEMONSTRATION BLOCK LEADERS DEMONSTRATION BLOCK LENDS COLOR TO FOOT- BALL GAMES An engineer working with a ruler and a graph—committee heads feverishly punch- ing colored thumb racks in wooden seats —Presto! Section 17 of the Stadium, with a seating Capacity of seven hundred, has been prepared as the new Pitt cheering section, the demonstration block! Dressed in their reversible blue and gold capes and caps, Pitt students appeared for the first time in a coérdinated formation at the Duquesne football game. Displaying colors corresponding to those painted upon thumb tacks stuck in each seat, and respond- ing to commands from the field transmitted by a public address system, they formed a huge gold “P" on a blue background.

Season ticket holders finally got a clear idea of what was happening in Section 17, however, when Pitt layed Carnegie Tech. The standard “P" aded into a Carnegie "C," then back into a “P" of reversed colors; a grinning Panther face appeared, then became a Scotty dog; and then a golden “P" on a blue background. The striking effects and variety of effects possible for this SFA brainchild were even more clearly demonstrated at the Nebraska game. At half time, thousands of inter- ested spectators neglected even the famous band maneuvers to watch the formation of “P's" and "N's" that flashed from blue to gold in a twinkling, and then slowly rolled back to their original color. Seem- ingly black magic produced an outline of the state of Pennsylvania, the Cathedral of Learning, spelled “P-I-T-T,"'and then, as a grand finale, drew a golden ear of corn nestled in its green husk.

Military excellence, regularity of attendance, and high scholastic standing demanded of all members, secure only the more capable men for the organization. Long hours of close order drill mark the performances with snap and precision. The Riflemen ably demonstrated their ability in a parade of eighty well-trained men before the crowd- ed stands at the Nebraska football game. Again at the annual Spring Festival Pa- rade, the Riflemen executed their platoon movements and silent drill in praiseworthy fashion. Although Pitt Rifles foster efficiency in military maneuvers primarily, their pro- gram for the past year has been well round- ed with social events. Early in December, one hundred and forty couples made their way to the annual military formal at the 155 Twentieth Century Club where in an in- spiring ritual, retiring Captain jack With- um and coed captain Irene Maroney turned over their responsibilities to Captain and President Albert Kairys and coed captain Mary Ruth Goodwin. On February 17th members of the organization spent the eve- ning at a formal banquet and initiation at Cathedral Mansions where thirty—four pledges were taken into the honorary. Louis Bearer, a Pitt Rifles alumnus, acted as toastmaster with Colonel John Lee Holcombe, Mr. Endicott A. Batchelder and Mr. Theodore A. Seidle as featured speakers. Throughout the year the uni- formed Riflemen were seen carrying out their duties as oflicial ushers at the many events in the new Stephen Foster Memo- rial. In May, the strain of annual inspec- tion was relieved by a picnic and dance for the new tappees. Such a program of train- ing and fellowship adds much to University life. MAY or September, what difference, it's the time for making new friends and for keeping the old. There’s no better place than the Heinz Chapel walks with their lamp posts and maple trees.

The Association, affiliated with the American Institute of Metallurgi- cal Mining Engineers, is composed of all the members of the Petroleum Engineering and Petroleum Geology divisions which comprise the Oil and Gas Department. At its weekly meetings, the organization pre- sents guest speakers who discuss problems of importance to the student of mining. Such subjects as the election of courses, placement of graduates, and the current activities of the world affecting the present and future of the Petroleum Industry are of chief interest. During the past year many prominent men of the Oil and Gas Industry have spoken to the group. Among these were Dr. L. C. Nettleton, Geophysicist of Gulf Research Corporation, who presented sev- eral interesting phases of geophysical ros- peering, and Mr. Crockett, head of? the Personnel and Education Department of Jones 8: Laughlin Steel Corporation, who in a series of illustrated lectures, discussed “What Kind of Men Industry Wants". Several discussions were led by students who presented their own experiences in the oil fields. Recognizing a need for better fellowship among the students of the department, the Association presented several social activi- ties during the year, outstanding of which was a smoker held at the Edgewood Com- munity Club. Under capable, intelligent leadership, the Oil and Gas Association has grown to a prominent place in the lives of the stu- dents of Petroleum Engineering.

Opening the affair with plenty of noise, the band lustily de- clared their approval of the whole thing at their band concert in Carnegie Hall. jammed in shoulder to shoulder, Pittites whooped up "Hail to Pitt” in concluding the afiair, and collecting both dates and their doo-dads, headed for the nearest exit ~and food. Next afternoon, slacks and sport jackets, surrounded snappy skirts and pert blouses, at the Spring Festival Sport Dance. Truly jam session in aspect, stags mobbed fair coeds, and snitched their ‘‘brothers' best gal with the utmost of glee—and had the time of their lives in the amazing good humor of Spring Festival spirit. Carnival Night—the height of riotous foolishness, the hum of constant chatter and nonsense exchanged, while couples drifted from booth to booth, spend- ing pennies and collecting gay souvenirs. Purple balloon clutched in one hand, kew- pie doll and bag of peanuts in the other, 158 we watched the turtle races, screaming encouragement to our pet—ten cent bet in the offing—as it ambled in the opposite direction from the winning spot. We lost, as expected, but gaiety unaffected, we moved on to the next event. Thursday’s track meet found track men and their fems all headed for the stadium, steaming up the hill in the highest of spirits, each con- fident that his house would win. Solemn “tapping ceremony" on Friday morning, R.O.T.C. Parade immediately afterwards, then Pittites thronged the streets for the Women's Fraternity Float Parade~f0l— lowed by the Men's Sweepstake races. Spring Festival Ball, Chairmanned by Steve Rooney, proved the most successful event of the week's festivities, novel decorations burlesquing the great loves of history-— and campus romances.

In this period an honest effort has been made to include within its pages a true portrayal of the student at the Univer- sity of Pittsburgh,~what he sees, what he does, and in general, those things which make his four years at Pitt a vital experi- ence many years after. To tell this story in the most effective manner, Editor Idella R. Rome, adapted a photographic theme With the greatest number of pictures ever included in an OWL. Scattered among the various pages of the book, illustrations of cameras, lenses, student photographers, and film form a continuous background for photos of cam- pus life. In this, the 1938 OWL is unique, the first to use an illustrated theme throughout the book. 162 THE 1938 OWL Candid Camera, Eh? Articles written in an informal and per- sonal style add to the interest of the book. Little attempt has been made to delve into the historic background of fraternities or the long traditions behind student activi- ties, but every effort has been expended to bring out these factors as exemplified in present student activity. The OwL this year has also been privileged to include within its senior section the 1938 graduates of all professional schools at the Univer- sity, as well as the many organizations functioning within the schools. Added to the many new layouts and descriptive phrases is a color scheme that provides a harmony symbolic of the pleas- ant connotations of University life in- cluded in the illustrations. Indeed every effort has been made to provide a true “Pictorial Record” of the University dur- ing 1937-38.- THE 1938 OWL Editor . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .IDELLA R.

CAMPUS Q -UK With its expressed policy of “providing a medium for student expression at the Uni- versity," the News, official student tri- weekly publication, began the 1937-38 volume with innovations in the form of the column “Headlines,” “behind the scenes" news reporting, and a number of campaigns which have since been adopted on other college campi. The most out- standing campaign of the year was the Wasserman test drive. In addition, the News made an issue of the use of Foster Memorial for student functions; probed the new Hagan athletic plan; supported S.F.A. in its request to the faculty for a course in Marriage and Home Making; challenged a long term leave of absence given to Dr. Brynjolf Hovde, associate pro- fessor of history; urged S.F.A. to grant a charter to the American Student Union; and helped to sponsor a tuberculin test campaign. 166 THE PITT NEWS Four O'clock Deadline! Definite proof of student support in such activities was seen in the results of the Wasserman test, in which approximately 2,000 students applied to the Student Health Service for the free tests. Among current problems raised and viewed by the News were the approval of Peace Council’s Anti-Japanese Boycott, and the inauguration of a series of campus polls on such subjects as athletic subsidiza- tion, government policy, unionism, and special carfare rates for students. N0 record of the history of the 1937 News would be complete without mention- ing Editor Leo Koeberlein and his staff. When a columnists analysis of the Mellon charitable trust fund was censored, the stu- dent staffs resigned. The story is only fur- ther proof of the News desire to print without censorship or interference, how- ever, and is as high a compliment to its integrity as can be found.

After three years of faithful service, worthy Seniors are tapped to this honor- ary, and during their last year at Pitt, serve as an inspir- ation to their aspiring undergraduate sisters. Serving as Senior Mentors to new freshman and with their experience to guide them, these upperclass women try to impart some of their enthusiasm to these newcomers, to help them orient themselves to campus activities, and to the general “newness" of university life. Mortar Board sponsors freshman scholarship, first by presenting an award to the freshman woman with the highest scholastic average, then by reading the freshmen women’s honor roll at Scholar’s Day. Giving practical application of the ideal business woman, Mortar Board presented a skit with members characterizing the various types of undergrads who usually apply for a job, in comparison with the perfect business type, as represented by Janet Wilson. Then campus was sprinkled with Mortar Board members, equipped with needle and thread, making the white col- lars used by women on their gowns at graduation. When honorary aides were needed for the Chancellor's Recep- tion, Mortar Board members were chosen because of their poise and graciousness. In November, Mortar Board held a rummage sale, coming through quite successfully, while Xmas vacation found them browsing together at a Slum- ber Party given by their president. With the aid of their advisors, Miss Rush, Miss McLaughlin, and Dr. Jamison, Pitt's Mortar Board do much toward integrating the work of women's activities at the University of Pittsburgh.

AYARS Perhaps the greatest honor bestowed upon a college man is membership in Omicron Delta Kappa, national honorary activities fraternity. Membership in Omicron Delta Kappa is open to outstanding Junior and Senior men who have attained special distinction in at least one of the following fields: scholarship, publications, ath- letic prowess, forsenic activities, and general campus leadership and influence. The active program of the campus O.D.K. circle is as distinctive in nature as the members who participate in it. The informal atmosphere of luncheons held every second week affords a splendid opportunity for intimate and friendly contact between twenty—one active members and four regularly attending members of the faculty. First on the O.D.K. list of events was the general tap- ping held in November. A novel system of tapping was employed whereby names of the new tappees were posted on a large O.D.K. key placed at the Fifth Avenue entrance to the Cathedral. December 8 marked the formal O.D.K. banquet held at the Faculty Club for the initiation of new members. All those attending wore blue buttonieres, a novel custom of long-standing popularity. This organization is planning to give to the University Library twenty—five dollars with which to buy books of interest to both faculty and students. Each year O.D.K. nominates a faculty committee to collaborate with the Dean of Men for the purpose of selecting the outstanding Senior of the year. A placque designating their selection is presented to him during Spring Festival Tap Day. Plans are being formulated to honor those University graduates who have won the Senior Award by carving their names in stone along the senior walk. 171 CWEN S Preridem‘ . . . . . . . . . . . . . .PRISCILLA WELDAY Vice-Prexident . . . . . . . . . . . . . .BETTY FAGAN Secretary . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .BET1'Y LANGGUTH Trmmrer . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .RUTH MANNS Cwens, proud of their Anglo-Saxon traditions which name them the Queens of the University, have gained this heritage through their qualities of fine leadership, willing service and high scholar- ship. Distinguished on campus by their colors of silver and garnet, and by their symbols, the crown and the scepter, Cwens try to pro- mote their standards among freshman and the other women of the University, and to be in every way, worthy of their name. It has become an annual custom for each group of Cwens to pub- lish a woman's directory and this year was no exception. A few weeks before Christmas, their little red book again appeared on campus, and a Cwen with her arms full of red books was a familiar sight. Publishing the directory was a tedious task, but by that time, the twenty-nine girls, who were tapped last May, had learned that being a Cwen meant being a worker. Their work began when they served as ushers at the Coronation breakfast last spring, since that time, they have served at the High Tea for Freshman women, the Chancellor's Reception, a Mortar Board dinner and an Alumnae luncheon. The Cwen-Druid Tea Dance this year held at Webster Hall is an annual project sponsored by both Cwens and Druids (Sophomore honorary fraternity for men). In December, Pitt Cwens were enter- tained by their sisters from Tech; and in March they in turn enter- tained the Tech girls. _ Tap Day found worthy freshmen women receiving Carnations fastened to a necklace of silver and garnet; then Cwens bid farewell to their active members at the Cwen formal banquet at which the tappees became the active Cwens of '39.

Fostering leadership, scholarship, and character in extra-curricular activities and academic studies, the Druids have become a popular group on our campus. Paramount among quali- fications for membership are outstanding work in two or more major activities and a quality point average of at least 1.25. First among the Druid social events was the annual smoker held September 22 in the Logan Armory. Here, Freshmen men were introduced into campus activities and soon learned the importance of a well-rounded col- lege career. Among the notable speakers of the evening were Dr. “jock" Sutherland, Druid alumnus, Dr. Vincent Lanfear, Dean of Men, and Carl B. Cass, who gave his ever popular version of “Casey at the Bat".

During the intermis- sion at the tea dance held February ninth, a single under- graduate, Albert Lasday, was tapped; also tapped as honorary members were Dr. Carroll R. Daugherty, Pro- fessor of Economics, and Dr. Charles G. King, Professor of Chemistry. Plans have been made for a general tapping of approxi- mately fifteen men to Druids in the spring when the pres- ent sophomore members Will become alumni. Following the general tapping, a formal initiation and dinner dance have also been planned.

Werlinich, Marquis, Cupelli, Engelman Where there are a great many pre-legal students on a campus, it is quite natural that they should organize. Such was the case in 1921 when the lawyers-to-be were quick to recognize the benefits that might be derived from an active organization that would bring them together with their mutual problems, and would give them a glimpse into their chosen profession. Thus John Marshall Club was organized under the name of that famous justice who made legal history on the bench of the United States Supreme Court. I The John Marshall Club started off the past year with a smoker at the “Y" Club Rooms early in November. Amid the smoke and the congenial atmosphere, three new members were tapped into the organization, and H. Warren Van Kirk addressed the group. This was the first in a series of interesting and valuable meetings held throughout the year. Professor B. Blackburn of the University Law School and faculty advisor to the Club spoke to them on the subject of “Law School,” giving ,%, the members a taste of what they might expect in that institution. Following this Leonard Boreman painted a picture of the “Problems of the Young Lawyer" and Daniel B. Dixon, a student in the Law School added “The Student's Idea of the Law School."

JOHN WITHUM All Cap and Gowners, from the ticket sellers and wardrobe men up to the “girls" and the managers aspire to this honorary organization, and after two years of meritorious work, they may be fortunate enough to be tapped. Aside from the production itself, the most important activity of the year was the Halloween Masquerade Ball held at the Twentieth Century Club on October 29. The club entertained the entire ’38 production at a smoker during March where a movie of last year’s show, “Trailer Hol", was reeled off. As is the tradition, the Undergraduate Club held a mammoth banquet after the curtain went down on the last show of “Pickets Please." Members of the Cap and Gown Graduate Club were the guests at this joint banquet. From the ranks of the club come the prominent con- tributors to the success of the Cap and Gown shows: the men who paint scenery, place properties, and apply make—up; the fellows who spend weeks in erfecting dance routines and in struggling with the act 0 behaving like ladies; and the composers of the annual hit lyrics and tunes. Tapping of deserving Pitt showmen was held three times this year. The club’s roster was strengthened at the Masquerade Ball, before the current show, and on Spring Tap Day. From this group, eligibles are selected for membership into the Graduate Club. 175 UPPERCLASSMEN and weary Freshmen book- laden from the library, rejoicing that classes are through for the day are caught lolling on the lawn while others rush up the Fifth Avenue walk, late for seventh hour, torn between the desires of spring and duty's stern call to the classroom.

JAMES RossELL Kappa Alpha Phi took the final step in the transition from a professional in commerce to a widely known active and up and coming social fraternity on the Pitt campus this past year. It has already made its mark along with larger activity chapters at the University. With a social calendar second to none, Kappa Alpha Phi entertained some twenty times throughout the year. Tea cups were lifted in tribute to mothers and fathers as they were entertained by their sons. A very swank for- mal closed each semester. In mid year rushing, Kappa Alpha Phi outrushed every fraternity on the campus with a total of eight pledges. Her basketball team swept everything before it to ascend the Intercollegiate-Interfraternity throne and placed high in the Intramural Tourney. Cap and Gown also selected outstanding Kappa Alpha Phi men for its production and cast members. In spite of an active social program, Kappa Alpha Phi still maintained its traditionally high scholastic rating. Kappa Alpha Phi was founded at Georgetown University in 1920 and the Gamma cha ter was installed here in 1924. The purposes as a pro essional fraternity in com- merce have been to perpetuate an association among stu- dents primarily interested in some field in commerce, and to maintain for the benefit of such students a closer rela- tionship that will better fit them for their chosen vocations. Members included in picture are: Angros, H. Phillips, Newlon, I.

Scholarship and campus activities together are the bases on which the award is made; it carries with it the highest commendation for outstanding work during the past four years, recognized by a national A professional honorary. Just as widely sought as its Senior Award is member- ship in the fraternity itself. Membership implies not only recognition as an outstanding mining man, but also insures participation and actual benefits in the form of practical lectures in the field of engineering which are given at their regular meetings. Miners eligible for admission into Sigma Gamma Epsilon are tapped twice yearly, at the end of the first semester and at Spring Tap Day.

Members are selected from the highest men scholasti- cally in the junior and senior classes of the two schools with the qualities of practicality and sociability rating as top qualifications. Sigma Tau was elected on March 2, 1930, to full mem- bership in the association of College Honor Societies, thus becoming the seventh member of this association, and the first Honor Society to be admitted to member- ship since the organization of the association in 1925. The members of this association consider scholarship as the outstanding qualification and recognize that other factors must also be considered. The members of the organization are: Phi Beta Kappa, Sigma Xi, Phi Kappa Phi, Alpha Omega Alpha, Order of the Caif, Tau Beta Pi, Sigma Tau, and Omicron Delta Kappa. Sigma Tau is therefore recognized as one of the most important honor societies in the United States. Early each year, Sigma Tau awards medals to two sophomore engineering or mining students who have attained scholastic excellence during their first semester. Such occasions, as well as tapping ceremonies at the close of each semester and on Spring Tap Day, are high- lights in the lives of the engineers, for Sigma Tau rates as one of the first engineering honoraries.

Organized to spread intelligent and authoritative infor- mation concerning the military requirements of our country, this organization has become a campus power through its membership which includes the leaders of over five hundred R.O.T.C. men. Most of the ranking officers are included in its roster, which is made up of outstanding men in the advanced corps of the R.O.T.C. at the University. Aside from its military activity, Scabbard and Blade's social affairs are well known. Three formal dances a year are held: one in the fall, one in January, and the last in the spring. Official tapping ceremonies are conducted at the first two dances as well as at Tap Day Assembly. The final spring formal is reserved for election and installation of new oflicers. After each tapping, initiation of the new members begins. No story of Scabbard and Blade is complete without mention of this famous WeCk—the inspections, the drills, the guard details and the final “rough initia- tion" at South Park which must precede formal initia- tion. For the quality of its membership, its high position in campus affairs, and the acknowledged spirit of friendship and cooperation which it encourages, Scabbard and Blade deserves particular commendation. 179 BETA GAMMA SIGMA Preridem‘ . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .MONTFORT JONES Secretary-Treasurer . . . . . . LLOYD MAHONY The highest honor for a Bizad student is to make Beta Gamma Sigma, honorary business administration fra- ternity. Activities of this organization are limited to four dinner meetings a year celebrating the election and initiation of eligible candidates. Their yearly activity schedule is rather unique, a senior election early in the first semester and a junior election during the second semester, each election meeting preceded by a luncheon at the Schenley Hotel. Following the formal acceptance by the senior tap- pees, an initiation consisting only of the reading of the ritual and the presentation of keys and certificates is held. However, the year’s fun comes in after the junior initiation at a banquet given for the new members of both semesters. At this banquet assemble all the district alumni and the Bizad profs. Each initiate has to deliver a short speech on a subject relevant to finance, business, or the like; all speeches subject to the elders’ criticism. Perhaps the most noteworthy activity of Beta Gamma Sigma. is the awarding of a certificate of distinction to the highest ranking member of the Freshman class. Membership in this honorary is limited to those rank- ing highest scholastically among the first ten per cent of the senior class and to those among the first two per cent of the junior class.

Quite in keeping with their high requirements, they planned monthly programs this year, which would in- clude lectures given by faculty members of the various departments in the College. Dr. B. Hovde, of the History department, spoke on “Social History," while Dr. Samuel William explained to the group his concep- I tion of the term “culture." Dr. P. F. Jones, of the P English department chose "Languages” as his subject, and stressed the advantages of everyday application of clear, concise speech. Working with graduate students who aided him in the discovery of Vitamin C, Dr. C. G. King was well prepared to discuss Vitamins and their importance in our daily menu. By way of diversion from serious subjects, Dr. Johnson vividly described his own archaeological excavations while in Montana.

Not for its members were old Greek mottos. Instead, the letters forming its name were gotten from the initials of A the name of their faculty advisor, D. D. Lessenberry. A The Cathedral chapter was officially recognized by the University in 1935. It was organized to encourage and recognize scholarship among undergraduates in the field of commmercial education, to promote closer rela- tionships between the faculty, the student body, and teachers in schools in the Pittsburgh district, as well as foster a social spirit among its members. Since it was named the "Cathedral" chapter, the pins have distinctive silhouettes of the Cathedral of Learning as guards. This organization taps biennually in the fall and in the spring, with a 1.7 quality point average required as the minimum for entrance consideration. During the past year, the fraternity had Bishop Brown, head of the Retail Training Bureau, as guest speaker at a I R s - I luncheon in Cathedr.al.l\./Iansions. In March‘, springtap Prmdem ’ . ‘ .

Monthly dinner meetings draw this group together and part of the program is devoted to hearing a lecture on some topic of common interest. Choosing their speakers from the University faculty, and other prominent speakers in the vicinity, Sigma Kappa Phi members selected Dr. W. H. Shelton, head of modern language department, as the leader for the first meeting. He entertained the group with a novel account of the Nationality Rooms in the Cathedral, elaborating on the French Room in particular. November found Reverend Barry of Carnegie, describing to envious Sigma Kappas a glorious account of his trip to Europe. Dr. J. F. L. Raschen, of the modern language department, was featured speaker of the December meet- ing, and the group learned of the great German writer, Goethe, from Dr. Raschen’s illustrated lecture. January initiation presented the Sigma Kappas with seven new members chosen for their outstanding abilities in French, German, Latin or Spanish. Then William Coover enter- tained the entire membership with a delightful program of vocal selections in various languages. Dr. Johnson of the Classics Department contributed his share of the year's unusual program by discussing the Ancient non Indo-European languages of Asia Minor. April's warm weather found the Sigma Kappas heading an Open House at Heinz House, where each nationality group presented a skit. Each year on Scholars Day, Sigma Kappa Phi awards four scholarships to the four most outstanding seniors with foreign language majors; then again in spring, the fraternity taps outstanding foreign language students to their membership. 183 2:! Carrying on the spirit of its founders, Chi Rho Nu, honorary pre-medical fraternity has made the past year an exceptionally active one in celebration of the fifteenth anniversary of its founding. Since 1923 when the Chiron Club was first established on campus, this organization has attempted to sustain the first enthusiasm of the pre- medical student and to acquaint him with the various phases of medical training and professional life. Throughout the year a series of luncheons were given NU by prominent physicians. Among the outstanding speak- ers were Doctor Metzgar, head of the State Medical Board of Examiners, Doctor Chalfant and others. Led by President George E. Spencer and an active executive board, the group, realizing the greater benefits to be derived from personal contact with the medical environ- ment, planned several trips. The members were permitted to visit and inspect the Mayview Sanitarium, the new Allegheny General, and other hospitals. Special privi- Preridem‘ . . . . . . . . . . . . .GEORGE E.

WooDs1DE As the Cathedral of Learning has influenced the growth of the University, so has Kappa Phi Kappa in— fluenced the course of education. Kappa Phi Kappa is a professional education fraternity, the purpose of which is to promote the cause of education by encouraging men of sound moral character and recognized ability to en- gage in the study of its principles and problems. The fraternity is professional as well as honorary in scope—— professional because it invites to membership only men interested in education, and honorary because it chooses men who stand high scholastically. The national fraternity, consisting at present of forty- seven chapters throughout the nation, was founded in 1922. Tau Chapter at the University was established May 21, 1926, through the efforts of eighteen under- graduates and six members of the faculty. Admission into Kappa Phi Kappa is open only to men of good char- acter in the School of Education, who have met definite scholarship requirements. This year, as in other years, before the Spring and Fall initiations, a smoker was held to acquaint the neophytes with the members of the fraternity. Shortly after the smoker the organization held the initiation banquet- the most important affair of the year. Quite often during the year, guest speakers were invited to dinners and luncheons. These gatherings created among the broth- ers of the fraternity, the desire for social contact, scho- lastic achievement, and professional attainment. Plans have been fulfilled to hold an annual spring dance in May at which time, the newly elected oflicers are to be inducted into the chapter offices. Through the efforts of its members, Tau Chapter, like the Cathedral of Learning, is endeavoring to contribute to the growth of the University and to education in general. 185 CAMPUS STONE wall rendezvous in the brisk atmosphere of autumn, snatching last minute outdoor “cuts" before settling down to winter's routine, Spring jackets proving chilly in the clear cold sunlight filtering through the falling leaves, reluctant to exchange outdoor fun for stuffy classrooms. Members included in the picture are: Shore, Lieblich, Conner, Kovacs, Lehman, Stewart, Murray, Gorenstein, Brown Brennan, Roche, Hallock, Holmok, Lutz, Spanos Quite the “intelligentsia” of Pitt's literary circles, Quill Club has acquired quite a reputation for knowing the “ins and outs” of the writing game. Evidence of their writing skill can be found in the original manu- scripts which each member submits for criticism at their monthly meetings. The group then argues the pro's and cons of its literary value, while its author sits by in silence. Any student of the University may attend these meetings, and join with the rest of the members in the fun. This year's Quill Club members set a precedent in publishing the faurneymmz, a literary magazine, twice a year, instead of once a year as previously presented. Poems, short stories, feature articles—any literary con- tribution submitted by any University student, is con- sidered for this publication. This year's first semester ‘ journeyman even included a series of photographic selec- tions by Philip C. Elliott, of the Fine Arts Department.

Featured as the outstanding social meeting of the year the banquet was held at Cathedral Mansions this year, with Dr. M. R.

Each high school represented submitted a copy of their paper. For the best publication, a cup was awarded at the assembly which was held on Xylon Day, May the thirteenth. Each year, Xylon sponsors several forums which any woman working on University publications or interested in journalism may attend. This year two forums were held; the first in November, featuring Miss Maxine Christensen, who spoke on the subject of "Women’s Place in University Publications." Miss Christensen, as a Pitt graduate, is secretary to Robert X. Graham, head of the University News Service, and served on publica- tions while a student at the University. At the same forum, four new members were tapped- Miss Christensen (to honorary membership), Marion Conn, Dorothy Davis, and Charlotte Levy. These tap- pees were initiated later in the month at a supper meeting held at Heinz House, with graduate, Irene Matveak, as guest speaker. Former Pitt students now working in department store advertising, Misses Marjorie and Gertrude Reich, were the speakers for the second forum~the former a Xylon alumnae. All of the former prexics attended an alumnae home- coming banquet on March the ninth at which. a Xylon bulletin was distributed. After the Tap Day exercises, new tappees were intro- duced to the active members of the fraternity at an initiation banquet late in May, which concluded Xylon's activities for the year. 187 QUAX Preridenr . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .ERMA KOVALIK Vzfce-Pre.rz'dent . . . . . . . . .ZELDA GUTMACHER Secremry . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .BEss1E MARSHALL Trmmrer . . . . . . . . . .MARY JANE PATTERSON Originating in 1919 from a series of biology seminars, Quax today is an organization which combines true in- terest with research for women science majors. It is a far cry from the day when Thaw Hall served as the meet- ing place for Dr. Griffen’s lectures to the present meeting rooms of Quax in the Cathedral of Learning; so, too, has there been a great change in the prestige and reputation of this organization. On Scholar’s Day, when the presi- dent announces: "For Quax, women’s honorary science fraternity, I enter these names into the Book of Scholars," the new tappees feel that a real honor has been bestowed upon them. Membership in Quax is extended only to those who have a genuine interest in one of the sciences. This organization is unique in combining both the active and alumnae groups so that all members may con- tinually be informed. Too, the annual “project" of Quax is an extraordinary undertaking for an honorary. Each year, some subject—skin dermatology, this year—— is thoroughly studied. The work is not only interesting, but useful as well. It gives valuable information to the members, which they may find useful in applying for a job through the bureau started by the Alumnae—another worthwhile custom of the members of Quax. Members included in picture are: Marshall, Bondra, Gutmacher, Kovalik Fisher, Dr. Higbee, Joyce Bower, Theiss, Douglas 188 Although Pi Lambda Theta is an honorary educational fraternity for women in the University, who have fin- ished or are completing their practice teaching, they are not prevented from having some of the outstanding social events of the year. For their monthly dinner meetings all the members of Pi Lambda Theta show up, teachers from all over the county and embryo teachers still in school. Speakers such as Mr. Stanley Goldman and Dr. James Rule were guests at these meetings.

JENNY WATSON during the Christmas holidays, Pi Lambda Theta enter- tains Junior women in education. Not to be outdone by preceding years this Christmas they gave a play and party at the University Club and entertained about one hundred girls. Then, for active members they had a luncheon and musical program at teacher's institute. Twice a year, in June and January, Pi Lambda Theta, taps women who have proved outstanding scholastically and whom they feel they would like to have represent the teaching profession. Following the tapping comes tea and pledg- ing at the College Club. In May they combined with Phi Delta Kappa, men’s honorary educational fraternity, for an affair in Webster Hall. Approximately one hun- dred teachers throughout the Pittsburgh district are members of Pi Lambda Theta, and they have all upheld the aims of maintaining high standards of training and fellowship in the teaching profession. 189 rl i~ PITT PL CAP QGOWN firs GLEE CLUB WOMEN'S CHORAL UNIVERSITY CHIMES UNIVERSITY ORCHESTRA UNIVERSITY BAND PITT PLAYERS Members included in picture are: Shapiro, Hadas, Rabinovitz, Haught, Goodstein, Cass, Tracht, Schmidt, Rosenthal, Shafer, Loder Schlesinger, Rosenblum, Nelson, Kessler, Douglas, Williams, Moulton, Hoeveler, Hay Kunkel, Kachun, Reilly, Harmay, Frankel, Davis, Stark President . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .OScAR GOODSTEIN Vice-Prwiilent . . . . . . . . . . .HELEN AKERMAN Secretary . . . . . . . . . . . . . .BEVERLY CHILDRESS Treawrer . . . . . . . . . . . . .MEYER RABINOVITZ Hiytorian . . . . . . . . . . . . . .ELEANDR HAUGHT Director . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .CARL B.

This gave the Players an early chance to try out the new little theater of Stephen Foster Memorial. Then, even before final production of “Fresh Fields", Mr. Buell Whitehill, the new assistant director from West Virginia, had try outs for the familiar play “Ceiling Zero”. The technical staff furnished one of the best sets that has ever Oh, To Be a Leading Man! 193 been used for a school play. From the Pittsburgh airlines were borrowed helmets, suits, uniforms, parachutes, radio receiver, and transmitters. Everything on the stage was the “real thing", even to the air hostess’ caps. Perhaps it was the play, perhaps the leading lady, the set, or the matinee performance but anyway, “Ceil- ing Zero" had one of the best crowds in years. Not to let other organizations on campus get ahead of them, Pitt Players had a tea dance at the Schenley in March, and in true players fashion they entertained with their own talent, trios, piano solos, and impersonations. A new field was en- tered when a group of the players went down to KDKA and auditioned “The Two Orphans", and an old fashioned “melo- dramer". There weren’t any immediate results, but who knows=~Pitt Players may yet be giving a series of radio plays! As a climax to a successful season, the last production of Pitt Players was the popular “Accent on Youth", again given in Foster Memorial.

It also had one of the most realistic stage settings used at the University. By the use of borrowed equipment the “Ceiling Zero” set became the operations office of a transcontinental airline firm. Flying suits, goggles, parachutes, tele- phones and switchboards, teletype ma- chines and radio equipment were all used to copy exactly the office of the Newark, New Jersey airport. The Army Flying Contingent or the County Airport, the Pennsylvania Central Airlines, the Trans- continental and Western Airlines and the Bell Telephone Company all cooperated with Properties Manager, Ione Williams, in producing a realistic background for a well—eXecuted show. Peggy McGee and August Hoffman were the romantic leads, and Earl Riley played 195 the part of Dizzy Davis in this play which was so successful on the screen. jack Withum and Austin Hay, as Jack Lee and “Texas" Clark, gave a fine interpretation of the characters of the hardboiled, quick- thinking airport superintendent and the easy going southerner they respectively portrayed.

Written in a light, airy style, Frey/9 Fieldx is the story of a rich Australian family of low social standing, and a poor London family whose social rating is excellent. The clashing contrast of good and bad manners and the ridiculous situations aris- ing when a sophisticate and an average commonplace person meet, make Fresb Fields an adequate piece of writing. From the standpoint of good acting under skillful direction, Frexb Field; proved an equal success. Ione Williams and Helen Akerman were very effective as the English sisters, Lady Lilian and Lady Mary. William Hoeveler was well-cast in the other starring role as young Tim. The casting and coaching work was done by Carl Cass, assistant professor of English, who rates high commendation for the smooth job he performed in producing Frerb Field: for the audiences crowding Foster Memorial November 3 and 4, 1937.

Dictator Bellini and his Min- ister of Propaganda, Billy Snirk have found that the Treasury can no longer support the undeclared war-for-profit which they are waging against the neighboring kingdom, Holstein. Their only resource is to force the handsome prince Rodney to marry the old maid Queen of Holstein. Switched brides, strikes of the army, and the navy, international spies, women cabinet mem- bers, munitions plots and useless League of Nations meetings are all part of the plot which dodges through the six scenes to eventually circumvent the villian and smooth the way to a “and—they-lived- happily-ever-after-ending’ '. 197 Julianne and Her Prince Charming Picket; Plmxe is the production of two members of the class of 1938 Robert Saffron and Nick Spanos, their second major con- tribution to Cap and Gown.

Through melody after melody they follow these hands and as the program is ended the thrilled audience shouts a tre- mendous approval. Encore after encore is called, and then another concert of the Men's Glee Club is over. Reknowned as the oldest non-athletic activity on campus, the Glee Club has com- pleted its forty-eighth year of musical achievement at Pitt. In this time the in- creased acclaim rendered to the group each year has been justified by an increase in variety and quality of the organization's programs. Early in the year the formally attired songsters provided the musical background at the Chancellor's Reception. Then, during the week prior to the Christ- mas holidays, the grou appeared in the Commons Room to lea the student body in Caroling. Later, in the rich surround- ings of the new Foster Memorial, the Club presented its Annual Home Concert which aroused so much favorable comment from those who heard it. And, as its final ac- tivity, the group made its annual tour of the Eastern United States. Each program, better than the preceding one, the Glee Club is always striving for improvement, as much for the pleasure of it as for the pur- pose of holding concerts. Ranking among the ten leading college Glee clubs of the country, the Men's Glee club is definitely an attribute to the University.

For every Monday and Wednesday afternoons, the girls of this organization meet with their directoress, Mrs. Fred Lissfelt to practice for public appearances. Doing their share of making the Freshman feel at home, early in the fall, Women’s Choral combined with Women’s Debating Association and pro- vided a studio party, the Beaux Arts, to entertain the Frosh. Supplying the Univer- sity with music for all occasions Women's Choral sang at YWCA service, and on Easter and Thanksgiving programs, be- sides participating in Religious Emphasis Week. At Xmas time, they helped put the Yuletide spirit into the Commons Room, by Caroling there, together with the Men’s Glee Club.

But it's not all work and no play with these chorusters. Besides practices, they sing together at private dinner parties held several times during the semester. The first dinner at which they bid farewell to their former directoress, Mrs. Robert Ayars, was distinctly autumnal in atmos- phere, decorations and favors. At another, they tossed flulfy white snowballs about at a Snowball Party, while on Washington’s Birthday, red hatchets predominated as the decorations. Then on May 18, Women’s Choral members donned spring formals and attended their Spring Banquet, in celebration of the completion of a busy but successful year. UNIVERSITY CI-IIMES Mr. Russell Wickman, Univemity Organist Chimes Mark the Close of Class Hours As much a part of the Cathedral as the Gothic arches, our chimes mark the end of each class hour with dignified, subdued music- Installed during September, 1936, they have since become symbolic of the Cathedral—at once refined and quiet, yet as alive and insistent as the spirit of the students. Each of the chimes is made of five piano steel wires, whose vibra- tions when sounded are picked up electrically and then broadcast through R.C.A. speakers installed in each classroom. Class periods, all ending on the half hour, are closed by chimes in a combination of eight notes~the exactly reproduced tones of Westminster Cathed- ral's half hour chimes. Flooding the Commons Room with melody, the Cathedral organ, played by Russell Wickman, blends with the notes of the chimes twice daily. Fifteen minutes before the morning and the afternoon classes, Mr. Wickman, a composer in his own right, and the organist of Shadyside Presbyterian Church, begins a program of hymns which continues until classes convene. If you prefer organ music to swing music, make a point of waiting for Mr. Wickman. His place is at the console of the Hammond electric on the second floor directly above the main entrance, and the “music" comes out here “through the speakers in the elevator lobby on the third floor. 204 UNIVERSITY ORCHESTRA Recognized for its outstanding perform- ances rather than for its position as a cam- pus activity, the University Symphony Orchestra provides University men and women with a rare opportunity for train- ing and recreation. Through the untiring efforts of Mr. Theodore Finney and the faithful, conscientious work of the fifty members, a group of students with varied musical backgrounds have been molded into an orchestra whose efforts have been well received on many occasions. During the year, the group has found many occasions to move from its regular Thursday evening meetings into concert halls throughout Western Pennsylvania. In their many trips, they made concert ap- pearances at the Stowe Township High School Auditorium and before a large au- dience in Uniontown. On April 13, the University Symphony moved into the Stephen Foster Memorial for the annual I home concert. Soloists on this program 205 were Harry Goldby who played the Mozart Pianoforte Concerto in D Minor, and Mildred Gardner who received wide acclaim for her rendition of the Beethoven “Romanza" for violin and orchestra. The University Trio composed of Bob Brown, Harry Goldby, and Mildred Gard- ner, through their numerous appearances, have become an integral part of student activity at the University. Beside many off-campus performances the medodies of the trio were part of numerous assemblies in the Foster Memorial. The numerous behind-the-scenes tasks were faithfully executed this year by Stan- ley Ambrose and Clyde Courtwright man- ager and assistant manager, while Bob Flocken carried the responsibilities of or- chestra librarian. Thus fifty students found both pleasure and profitable training in working with the University Symphony Orchestra. We live in deeds, not years; in thoughts, not breaths; In feelings, not in figures on a dial. Life is but a means unto an end; that end, Beginning, mean, and end to all things——God. —PH1L11>JAMEs BAILEY Y/ac Ema’ of Life §$.+h—-fitfi-nut an..- x *‘ UNIVERSITY BAND OFFICERS Director . . . . . . . . . . . .THEODORE M.

During the past year this versatile aggre- gation of musicians has added many fea- tures to an already long list of accomplish- ment. The novelty and variety of their per- formances has been the talk of many thousands who have been fortunate enough to witness them. Starting with the sea- son's first football game, these one hundred and twenty men sent out a hearty “Hello” that was re-echoed throughout the season. Their intricate maneuvers were carried to New York for the Fordham game and to Morgantown, West Virginia, where ap- preciative audiences were lavish with their acclaim. Next, a classic rendition of the Big Apple brought the fans to their feet at the Pitt—Nebraska game, and, at the last home game, the marching season was climaxed with the appearance of one hundred and fifty uniformed bandsmen, the largest marching band ever placed in the field. 206 Not content to rest on its laurels from the football season, this organization went on to new conquests, carrying its spirited music to the Pitt—Penn State basketball game, and adding to the thrills of past performance by appearing on ice skates at the Pitt-Tech hockey game. The concert band of about fifty talented musicians received wide acclaim for its many splen- did performances both in the high schools of Allegheny County vicinity and on its annual tour from Erie north to Buffalo and back to the Annual Home Concert in Pittsburgh. The perfection displayed in executing the most complicated maneuvers and in earning their musical reputation attests not only to the ability of Major K. P. Flagg as drill coach, and of Mr. Theodore Finney as musical director, but also to the spirit with which the Pitt men have entered into the long hours of drill and practice necessary to such performances. Our hats are off to the Band~one of the outstanding representatives of life at Pitt. CLARINETS G. O. Ables A. Ackenheil J. Baldwin R. Bergemann P. Brinker T. Burger W. Dice R. Dorand H. Edgar D.

Since the first women’s fraternity was established on this campus, thirty years ago, fraternal- ism has grown until the men are hard put to keep up with the higher standards women have set for them. Welcomed to the traditional Panhellenic Freshman Reception, the frosh made their debut into the friendly atmosphere of the women's fraternity world. Dressed in formal attire, upperclasswomen made them feel at home, then whisked them through the receiving line, introducing them to Betty Neubrand, Panhel prexy; Vivien Roberts, social chairman; and renewed their acquaintanceship with Miss Thyrsa W. Amos, Dean of Women, Miss Helen P. Rush and Miss Mary Frances McLaughlin, assistant deans of women. Panhel's fall rushing calendar permits one day of entertainment, so a tea usually beckons the rushee, where Corsages, group singing, and refreshments are in order. December witnesses the Interfraternity Sing, when each fraternity presents a “skit" in competition for the loving cup. Amidst a bewildering selection of Indian camp scenes, negro spiritualists, and art schools, Zeta Tau Alpha won for the second consecutive year. One of the Panhellenic mass meetings for fraternity 210 women featured a song contest, with the winning one to become the oflicial Panhellenic song. Extending hospitality to the transfers, Panhel sponsored an informal tea for them in the fall, thus helping them to make friends with the fraternity women of Pitt. In prepara- tion for spring rushing, which is an important period under the University’s policy of deferred rushing, Panhel, through its fraternity representatives explained the “ins and outs" of fraternity life to the frosh, in an effort to make their choices easier. Then rushing started, a three day round of formal banquets, kid parties, teas, and what not, when eligible rushees made their first appearance at women’s fraternity houses. Signs of Spring, brought signs of fraternity women giv- ing the campus “smoothies" some worried moments until they were asked to the annual Panhel Ball at the William Penn Hotel. With Vivien Roberts and her fiance leading the grand march, the others stepped in line to the usual “Hail to Pitt" chorus. Last year's calendar of Panhel events, was climaxed by the Interfraternity Float Parade. With comic strip titles as their theme, Little Abner, Tarzan, and the Katzenjammer Kids balanced on borrowed trucks, as they precariously passed by the judges’ stand and completed Panhel activities for the year.

Dashing off to the University of Akron, five Pitt ADPi's attended the installation of the new chapter Beta Tau, at Akron. Spending a glorious three days there, entertained at luncheons, teas and dinners by their new sisters, they also had the honor of meeting their national oflicers from the Pacific Coast. The other new chapter ADPi established at University of Macon, Mercer, Georgia, makes a total of fifty- seven chapters now in existence. More than one ADPi got “all stuck up" at the Taffy Pull given the actives by the pledges, in February, but that only added to the general gaiety and fun of the party. Another party, this time at Betty A1ston’s home, barely gave the ADPi's time to exclaim “the best time ever" before they were busy entertaining Mrs. Stanard, editor of the Adelphezm, the ADPi quarterly magazine. But the ADPi’s didn’t run any risks of being caught in the Xmas rush of dances and parties, by choosing early December for their dance at Legion Hall. Outstanding in fall rushing activities, the ADPi's received the largest number of pledges of any group on campus, adding six girls to their group. Numbering Choral's Vice-President, Helen Kulik, among their sisters, the ADPi’s boast another outstanding soror in Margie Kuhbach, Panhel representative and active Cwen. Prexy Annabel Bottlancler rates Delta Delta Lambda, despite her struggles with practice teaching. Definitely on the way up in campus affairs, the ADPi’s look forward to a snappy future.

Ruth Ruben, also a sophomore, (the sophomores seem to have a monopoly) took her marriage vows, then honeymooned in Florida, while Muriel Lowy announced her engagement in February. Opening the year's activities with a rummage sale in the East End district, the AEPhi's had a riotous time indeed with several of their customers. The most amusing was a junk dealer who was haggling for an old suit of clothes. The girls wouldn't go down a dime and he wouldn’t go up! But you have guessed it, his persistence finally won the day, and the price went down to his original offer——but it was fun! During January, the active and alumnae chapters gave a tea at the William Penn Hotel, in honor of the national honorary members, Mrs. Friend and Mrs. Hannah G. Solomon, while Mrs. Maroin one of the charter members of AEPhi from Barnard College, was also a guest of honor. Leah Hirsch, not only repre- senting the AEPhi’s in Panhel Council, and treasurer of that group, can also be found interviewing applicants for dance chairmanships on SFA appointments committee. AEPhi is also represented on the Pitt New! by Dorothy Davis as society editor and a member of Xylon. In November the AEPhi's gave a bridge at the Schenley Hotel to raise funds for the National AEPhi’s scholarship fund—used to help deserving refugee women get an American College education—and raised one hundred dollars. Xmas vacation found the AEPhi's “winter formal” at the William Penn Hotel. A cocktail before the dance was accompanied by an Escort Index for each couple, patterned on the Panther student Index, which caused a lot of razzing and good natured banter. 1 Members included in picture are: Israel, Neaman, Goldman, Rosenburg, Roth, Blumenfeld Kovacs, Simon, Davis, Barniker, M. Lowy, E. Lowy Gorenstein, Punsky, Broido, Hirsch, Rubenstein Benovitz, Ruben, Schein, Ziff 213 BETA PHI ALPHA The Beta Phi's are “right up there" in National Panhellenic affairs, and this year as Chairman of the National Panhellenic Convention, Beta Phi played hostess to the other representatives of the fraternity world, who collected from all over the country. All this happened in October, and Eta chapter was further honored by a visit from National Alumnae Secretary, Mrs. Vera Wolford, who stopped off at Pitt, while on her way home from the Convention. A rummage sale in November, proved something new and different to the Beta Phi’s, where they Certainly had some new experiences and showed surprising talent, for amateurs, in merchandising and selling. Busily collecting money for the Mary Gordon Holway Scholarship Fund, Beta Phi actives joined the Alumnae in sponsoring a benefit bridge, with great success reward- ing their efforts. The wintry months soon rolled around to the annual Christmas dance in December, this year held at the Dormont, New Century Club. Mary Quinn, chairman of the affair, soon set the right pace, by introducing “the Big Apple," which soon proved the main attraction of the evening. Fraternity activities finally winding up, spring weather caused Convention plans to occupy most of the Beta Phi’s thoughts, so prexy, jean Slack, and vice-president, Mary Quinn, collected their belongings and started out for Blue Ridge, North Carolina. They were particularly thrilled, for this year, they would not only renew acquaintances with other “sisters" from all parts of the United States, but they also would meet some of the 1909 co—eds who founded Beta Phi Alpha at the University of California in Berkeley. 214 Prerident . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

Home rushing rules, restrictions, and Panhel news are no mysteries to these representatives of the Pitt fraternity world. Much to their disgust, the Beta Sigs had to use artificial snow, and cotton snow balls as stage effects for their Christmas party, since Pittsburgh just didn't come through with the real thing—all this in honor of Beta Sig's redhead, Maryetta MacKenzie, who celebrated her twentieth birthday on Christmas Day. With the ass word, "Big Shots Only," muttered to a pledge (whose head suddenly appeared mm a package chute), actives entered the side door into a miniature Monte Carlo for their Valentine party this year. Receipts were raked in with a back scratch- er, and while worrying about the next bet, Beta Sigs sipped punch from frosty cock- tail glasses. By the end of the evening, all but three Beta Sigs clutched large I.O.U. 's, but Doris Bauer walked off with the evening’s prize—an Atlas Bank! Having worked up quite an appetite from this exhaustive betting, the Beta Sig gamblers then retired to easy chairs, and were served sundaes, tea, and cunning heart and diamond shaped cookies. Cheated all winter long of their sleigh party, because of the absence of snow, disappointed Beta Sigs still mourn the unexplored hills of New Kensington. But Beta Sigs haven't lost out on chocolates, since Ruth Belle Strothers presented them with the traditional five pounds, when announcing her engagement to Robert Fearon of Texas. Theater partying at the Nixon during the reign of Victarm Regina, starring Helen Hayes, the Beta Sigs then enjoyed themselves at the post-exam dance the Alumnae gave for them, that they're still hunting for another. Perhaps they’ll get another too~next year! Members included in picture are: Stump, Scott, Shipman, Rainey, Dimmick, St. john MacKenzie, Bauer, Kavanagh, Neubrand 215 NOT ONLY as instructors, Whose lectures and readings fill our days of college, but as friends and confidants whose help goes beyond the class- room, will we remember those to whom this section is dedicated. Members included in picture are: Piper, Vogel, Edwards, Legler, Latwas CHI OMEGA “Quality not quantity,” emphasizes the Chi Omega's at Pitt, and needless to say, that is what they get. No longer homeless, the Chi O’s are the happy possessors of a lovely apartment at 510 Neville Street, and most any day finds several Chi O's headed for that street, there to putter around, thrilled to pieces with their new home. Their fully equipped kitchen is still quite a novelty to them, and ever so often a Chi Omega turns up with a shiny new tea pot or a bright red coffee strainerfljust for the fun of it. Monday afternoon finds many a Chi Omega pouring over a cook book and turning out a perfect salad or a delicious batch of spaghetti. Cooking seems only a minor accomplishment compared with the other Chi Omega projects. Conforming to a national policy, local chapter, Phi Beta, each year awards a prize to the most deserving sociology student, selected by Dr. M. Elmer, head of the Sociology depart- ment. Further applauding Pitt students to greater efforts, the group also awards an economic prize to the student recommended by Dr. M. McKay of the Economics department. The Chi Omega’s carry on another national activity by presenting a gold medal every year to the woman in the United States who has contributed most to her field of work. Chi Omega has thus honored such outstanding personages as Frances Perkins, Dr. Alice Hamilton, and Katherine Cornell. But never be it said that the Chi Omega’s neglect their social calendar; first the Penn State Chi O’s were royally entertained in November following the Penn State game. Then celebrating the housewarming of their new apartment, Chi Omega's toasted marshmallows and popped corn, but there were more surprises in store for them as they drew toy autos, tool sets, and "cutie" dolls from the grab bag at their Xmas party. Chi Omega's lastly entertained Helen Gordon, Chi Omega from Knoxville, Tennessee, for a week, before closing the beloved apartment for the summer vacation.

Then, too, we find them “doub- lin' up" with PiKA’s—the prexies of both houses always seen together. Celebrating their fiftieth anniversary on Thanksgiving Eve, the Tri-Delts had plenty to be thank- ful for, and quite took the College Club over in their merry-making. Hallowe'en found them out “spoofin’ the spooks" at a hilarious masquerade party at their house. One couple really took the cake—Marion Conn dressed as a timid little ROTC lad~ her six-foot escort providing a hefty co-ed captain! Snow and blistering winds blew in the annual Tri-Delr otphan's party of December, with Sally Brunson doing the honors as old St. Nick—red suit, beard, sleigh bells and all—a jolly Santa indeed, who delighted twelve wistful youngsters with his marvelous gifts. But the William Penn was the background for the Winter Formal. Here, the girls’ shimmering satins and suave velvets, mingled with the black and white attire of their escorts under the soft lights of the Italian Room. Victrola dances at the house with buffet suppers served~luncheon for members twice a month—and occasional Sunday evening spreads at which some outside speaker usually presides furnish many opportunities for the Tri-Delts to have glorious times together. June will find the Tri-Delr Spring Formal held at the Shannopin Country Club, while the National Convention this year will be in Boston, birthplace of Delta Delta Delta. Members included in picture are: Richmond, Fogle, Silsby, Owens Roe, Dravo, McHenry, Millet, Ekstrom Handick, Curtis, Brunson, Allshouse Fisher, Conn, Fairall, Cleaver Members included in picture are: Gladstone, Fisher, Mehlman, Rosenthal, Perlow Siegel, Hiller DELTA PHI EPSILON Victory parties after every football game, started the D Phi E’s off on this year's social round with a bang, and they've had parties ever since, at least twice a month. Prexy, Marion Mehlman, entertained the chapter with several weekend parties at her home where the D Phi E sisters had some glorious times together. Winter nights found the D Phi E's theater bound, the Loew's Penn proving the main attraction and there, seated together with their escorts, exchanging wisecracks on the picture's deficiencies, the sorors spent many hilarious evenings of fun. Bill Green’s featured the D Phi E’s winter formal in December, the much publicized “surprise" favors turning out to be boxes of tiny multi-colored hard candies. St. Valentine’s day found them playing charades at their apartment, in true party spirit. These D Phi E's certainly get around, boasting four weddings and two blessed events in the past semester, while last year's Regina, Minerva Reiter, is engaged to be married. Funny how these fraternity girls go for the professional men—Florence Siegel with a secret passion for the medical profession, while Helen Ruth Gladstone has developed a sudden interest in dentistry. The D Phi E's have their share of the “intellegentia," with Florence Hiller as active comptroller for the '38 OWL. A “P. J. " party in October revealed the D Phi E's sauntering around their apartment in various states of attire, exchanging last minute gossip, and taking life easy, in the friendly atmosphere of sisterly banter. Honoring their senior graduates at a formal luncheon, D Phi E's presented them with lovely compacts, crested with the fraternity seal. National Convention time~and D Phi E's brushed up on their chapter's accomplishments before setting out for New York, to impress their out-of-town sisters.

September's meeting found prexy, Lucille Uptegraff, announcing a tea for Delta Zeta mothers at the apartment, followed soon by a Founder's Day Banquet, at which Miss Helen P. Rush, assistant Dean of Women at Pitt and an alumna Delta Zeta, spoke to the fraternity in the Blue Room of the William Penn. A visit from National Field Counsellor, Miss Augusta Piatte of Alabama, resulted in a series of dinners, luncheons, and teas to entertain that charming lady with the Southern drawl. Then Delta Zeta Mothers and Dads met and discussed “daughter and her problems” over the bridge tables at WilmaJackson's in December, while said daughters were enjoying Wednesday night "dates." Stand- ard meetings found each Delta Zeta checking up on her good and bad points, and asking sisterly advice in correcting the latter. The Delta Zeta Christmas party differed from the other frat celebrations, in that the Christmas exchange included gifts for Vest, Kentucky mountain social service project. Quite ingenious these Delta Zetas, who continued their policy of doing things differently, by holding their Christmas formal in an entirely new setting—the Jackson Hotel. January's first meeting found the Delta Zeta's selecting their resolutions for the New Yearfiamong them a promise to aid the Mothers with their dessert bridge held at the apartment in February. Having won honorable mention for their skit, “Love is Enough" in the Interfraternity Sing Contest, the Delta Zeta's are aiming even higher for next year, intent on making their lamp burn brighter than ever.

Tapped Co-ed Colonel of the ROTC, Thrysa Agness Amos also heads W.S.G.A. and rules campus activities with an iron hand. Entertained by the SAE's at a supper dance, the Theta’s worked 03 their social obligations by inviting them to a tea dance, their new radio- Victrola “subbing" for a swing band. Crawling through a window into the spooky cellar of the Theta house, visitors to the Hallowe'en party, screamed in terror as ghostly figures flitted by them, cold hands grasped their clothes, and clammy ropes brushed their faces, before they could gain the safety of the first floor. An alumnae party in November found the Thetas having their fortunes told by a young seer strangely resembling Judy George, while others of their group played bingo and bowling games. Christmas vacation brought more social affairs; first, a chapter party with Theta sisters exchanging fifty—cent gifts, and then the Mothers’ Club entertained their daughters, who again received presents—this time from Santa's huge red sock. A surprise visit from Grand Treasurer, Mrs. Athern, would have stumped most fraternities, but the Thetas carried off the situation very nicely by entertaining their visitor at a charming tea. Pajamas of every color, shape, and size smuggled into the Theta house announced the Slumber party in January with a bull session lasting all night, and several bridge games in process left the Theta’s with little time to sleep that night. The Senior luncheon winds up Theta activities for the year, and Theta delegates jaunt off to Convention, proud of their chapter's record for the year.

Marjory Watson foxed them all by marrying a New Yorker, and now posts her address from sunny Florida. October found tiny navy and light blue ribbons decorating gold Kappa keys, celebrating Founder's Day, while visitors to the pledge dance in November received quite a welcome as each couple was announced over the P. A. systems, accompanied by choice bits of identification. Xmas vacation brought another party, with Yuletide spirit filling the house with the spicy fragrance of pine and holly, topping it all with a lovely tree. Grouped around the tree in the candlelight, Kappa sisters exchanged gifts and crazy verses amid shouts of laughter, razzing and good natured quibbling. Then the Kappas caught the “Mothers’ Club Bug" floating around the campus in the best of fraternity circles, and giving a tea for their Mothers, urged organization for the “good of all concerned." It was most successful, and the Mothers gave a Benefit Bridge in March as their first project—and congrats for its success. Promoting good old Panhel spirit, the Kappas attended a dance given them by friendly Thetas—— then a sudden visit from Kappa’s National Field Secretary Marion Handy, put them all on their mettle. Came May, and talk centered about the Spring Formal held at the Field Club, 'til a busy year ended, and Kappa delegates packed their bags and dashed off to National Convention at Hot Springs, Virginia.

The day Duquesne bowed the knee to the Panthers, the Phi Mu's gathered at Ann McAfee's and had an informal spread; the next week found them dining formally at June Shaffer's. After the Notre Dame game, the King Edward was the setting for a Phi Mu party, while the next Saturday found them dancing at another soror's home. An Alumnae Bridge at which the actives served as aides, broke the Saturday monopoly temporarily, but the following week found a Phi Mu buffet supper dance, with several first string football heroes present to add atmosphere. Home for Christmas vacation, several Duke sisters and alumnae were entertained at a luncheon, where comparisons of schools fell fast and thick, each group loyal to their own, and no casualties reported. Webster Hall housed the Winter Formal, where Phi Mu’s and their sweethearts danced in the newly decorated Blue Room of the Hotel. February brought a Valentine party at the home of Dorothy Marshfield. Here a treasure hunt, limited to the boundaries of the house, started a riotous search for clues, until after the treasure was found, the weary searchers settled in easy chairs and played “Woo-Woo"—a new game which claims as the winner, the man who makes the best public proposal after three tries. Entertained at a dinner by Phi Mu patrons, Mr. and Mrs. Engelder, and a visit from National Rushing chairman, Miss Emma Bald Reed, put them on their toes for national inspection. Pledging over, the Phi Mu's tore the last sheet from the social calendar for the year, and closed the books {or three months of glorious vacation.

PAULA LEVINSON PHI SIGMA SIGMA Delighted with their new home in the King Edward Apartments, the Phi Sigs held their first ribbon services there in January. Receiving honorable mention for their “Cleopatra" skit in the Interfrat Sing Contest, the Phi Sigs adopted the idea from Emil Ludwig's book T/ae Nile; in keeping with the Sphinx head of their pin and the pyramid background of Egypt. February issue of their magazine T/ac Sphinx, scooped the OwL, featuring Phi Sig Idella Rome, editor of Pitt’s '38 OwL. Fall rushing cen- tered around a beautiful formal tea at the home of Phi Sig patroness, Mrs. Benjamin Neiman. All decorations were in Phi Sig colors, gold and blue, with candle light heightening the general effect of subdued color and soft shadows. The Alumnae Bridge was held in the Hotel Schenley Patio and Conservatory, with the actives serving as aides, and luscious baskets of fruit were distributed as prizes by Mollie Levy, chairman of the affair. Xmas week found the Phi Sigs and their heart throbs dancing to the smooth rhythm of Dick Stabile and his band at the Italian Terrace, celebrating the Phi Sig’s annual formal dinner dance. Spring rushing brought the traditional Sphinx Banquet, observed by chapters all over the country, and Iota chapter true to tradition, held theirs at the Concordia Club. Risking their necks at a skating party, the Phi Sigs offered the Lexington crowd plenty of laughs, as they staggered around the floor, many of them on skates for the first time since grade school days, but good naturedly taking the laughs, and throwing dignity to the winds. Spring Convention plans are in mid-air, the Phi Sigs undecided whether to celebrate their Silver Anniversary at Atlantic City or New York/our guess~is that May will find them lolling on the white sands of the seashore. Members included in picture are: Rosenthal, M. Levy, C.

Moving into their lovely new house on the corner of Devonshire and Center Avenue, the TPA's entertained their Mothers’ Club at a tea, and together mothers and actives worked out plans for the coming year. Winter snows suggested the Winter Formal, held at the Italian Terrace the Monday before Xmas*everyone still in suspense as to gifts, wondering what the boyfriend had brought them, and half sorry they hadn't exchanged so and so’s present. Then Xmas day an active Alumnae party was held at the house, everyone showing off their Xmas finery and exchanging 10 cent presents. During vacation TPA actives met in town to window shop and have lunch—see a show——meanwhile exchanging the latest tidbits of gossip and planning for the next social event. This turned out to be a party featuring Mr. Reizenstein, a glass blower, who entertained the group with demonstrations and explanations about his work, much to their interest and admira- tion. President of the Senior Class, TPA, Irene Maroney led the Heart Hop to success —a charming dance, a charming band, and—a charming girl. Friendly pals with Phi Kaps, most every dance finds members of the two frats “twosoming,” particularly during men’s rushing period. The Spring Formal in May wound up the TPA social calendar for the year, and set them packing shorts and swimming suits for summer camping at Ligonier. Preyizient . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

Excited Zetas crowded Stephen Foster thcatcr this winter to watch their prexy star, Ione Williams, shine in Pitt Players’ production “Fresh Fields." Adding this year's Interfraternity Sing Cup to its twin one last year, the Zeta mantel boasts quite a collection. In return for a dinner given the Thetas, ZTA's were entertained by the Kite wearers at a Kid Party, where both frat groups munched hot dogs and ice cream cones, while “big appling" to the sweet strains of the Theta's radio—victrola. Hallowe’en found the Zetas, shivering past clanking skeletons in dark corners, stumbling over a bloody corpse sprawled in the doorway and peering at each other through the dim candlelit rooms of their house. On a starlit night in November, ZTA's and their sweethearts bumped along highways on hay wagons, well bundled in blankets against the crisp night breezes, harmonizing Zeta songs, and finally winding up at a farmhouse where a chicken dinner and "every- thing that goes with it,” was served to the famished hayriders. Drawing closer the ties between active and alumnae Zetas, the Alumnae entertained their younger sisters at various teas and parties, while both chapters turned out “en masse" for the gala Winter Formal at the Churchill Valley Country Club. Bidding adieu to Senior graduates at their traditional Senior luncheon at the College Club, ZTA’s presented their departing sisters with quaint ZTA book-ends, then delved into plans for summer camp. The Spring Formal held at the Pittsburgh Field Club, climaxed the ZTA's social activities for the year. Then helping convention trotters on their way, the Zetas closed house for the summer, and departed, bound for vacation haunts. Members included in picture are: Custer, Goldsberry, V.

It is Interfraternity Council. Two representatives from each of the “thirteen” under the supervision of Robert R. Corley, Assistant to the Dean of Men, form this coordinating body. This year, fraternities entered IF com- petition with renewed vigor. Each wanted to be the first to win the giant bronze ALL- Points Cup and have their name inscribed on the first of its ten shields. Beginning this year, the trophy is awarded annually to the house amassing the highest number of points in interfraternity athletic and scholarship competition. With only half of the program com- pleted, no fraternity has won more than one first place. Helping to keep the Kappa Sigs near the front was their victory in the volleyball tourney. The Lambda Chis left the Delts holding the second place touch football cup, when they annexed the first place trophy for themselves. The Pi Lams came back in their old style to win the first semester scholarship race with a 1.68 226 average, and incidentally, more points to- ward the grand total. The last competitive cup awarded dur- ing the first semester went to the SAES for winning the Sing, which was held in con- junction with the very successful IF Yule- tide Dance, chairmanned by jack Sigmon. Highlighting the interfraternity social season, the IF Ball flew higher than ever on the tails of the thirteen fraternity—col- ored kites decorating the William Penn ballroom. Chairman Ray Nordstrom im- ported Paul Pendarvis' swaying rhythm, with gold pendant favors. IF Council expressed the opinion of the whole student body when it presented the Pitt Band with a cup in appreciation of its “loyalty and outstanding service to the University." Another progressive innovation was made by Interfraternity Council when it arranged for the fraternities to subscribe to the leading educational and topical fra- ternity magazines. Even more successful than in former years, the coordinating body of Interfra- ternity Council closes its 1937-1938, secure in the knowledge that this has been one of its most successful years.

Werlinich, Cooper, Cannon Frost, Schrader, Hurst, Finkbeiner, Kunkel, Naric, Hepburn, Gregory It was early registration for the Delts last summer, when they signed up for their biennial convention quartered at the William Penn. The August weather was perfect for their summer night formals, stags, smokers, and down-river boat rides. The local "Delta Shelter" is the headquarters for the largest trophy collection on campus. Even so, there is still a favorable “Delt" market for more cups; but they will have to build an annex to their old cup case to house the newly won runner-up IF football and sing cups. Drinking glasses and cups were discarded for the good old pop bottle, when the Delts and Deltesses masqueraded for the “Bowery Ball," in February. This dance lacked the formality that made the Delt’s Spring Formal THE dance on the calendar. Private collections in the Delt house include two ODK keys swinging respectively from Johnny Glasser's and Sam Wer1inich's watch chains. Johnny earned his as prexy of Men’s Council and two years Bus Manager of Pitt's humor mag; while Sam works behind an old oak in the office across the way, as business exec of the OWL. Bill Kunkel, in addition to attending SFA meetings, helps Sam by signing up organi- zations for the OwL. The Delts have another Pzmtber plugger in circulation manager John Downie. The Pitt Band's strutting drum major, john Chelfey, is the Delt's high stepping prexy. During the Spring, John keeps his legs moving as a chorister in Cap and Gown. Another fast moving Delt, Ernie Holmok, is the OwL’s literary editor, while Naric and Holt, varsity pigskinners, join Bob Schrader, varsity swim- mer, and ROTC's Major John Tredennick in helping to set the Delts’ pace. 228 KAPPA SIGMA Preritlenr . . . . . . . . . . .ANDREw C.

Both Johnny Michelosen and Don Hensley will be hitting the line as Jock Sutherland's coaching assistants next year. As an undergraduate, Bulgy Michelosen was varsity quarterback for three years and this year was elected honorary captain of the country's number one team. In the fall his companion, Hensley, will be coaching the new crop of understudies at center. Andy Moffatt, otherwise known as the Kappa Sig Horatio Alger ran up the oflicial fraternity ladder from social chairman, to secretary, and then reigned as president of his Dithridge St. house. On Campus “Mousetrap" Moffatt is known as treasurer of IF Council, bus manager of the IF Ball, Cap and Gowner, and SFA social committeeman. The Kappa Sigs have as a brother the loveliest “lady" in C 8: G, Bill Hoevelet. Bill has completed his third year of footlight basking. Off season, Bill is an active Pitt Player, member of IF Council, Men’s Council, and does a bit of he—man’s work on the Pitt wrestling team. Most of the fellows thumbed their way to Penn State for their Annual District Conclave. In the inevitable conclave bull session the local boys told their distant brothers of how they copped the IF volleyball and basketball titles and how they won the runnerup cup in outdoor track. While the Conclave was a climax to the Kappa Sigs local Winter Formal, it was only a prelimi- nary to their biggest dance of all, the Spring Formal, a veddy veddy exclusive affair. The mothers of Kappa Sig have a fraternal order of their own and were instrumental in having the kitchen re-equipped and redecorated. 229 LAMBDA CHI ALPHA fit Pruidmt . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

Ralph Dorand, as house prexy, divides his time and rhythm between swinging on his clarinet in the band and swinging at the other man in the ring. The house's enthusiasm for the mitt sport was shown when Jack Schricker, Pitt boxing coach, was made an honorary member. Jimmy Watson exhibits some of the same rhythm beating a drum in the band. The boys got away to a good start by taking first place in touch football. Jerry Mann stood out as the best man on the field and ended up an All-Fraternity halfback. The social season of the hill toppers included two important dates—the Spring Formal, at Churchill Valley Country Club and the wedding of "Lil Abner” Daniell, last year's All—American brother. In the white collar activities we find Fred McCamic on the News staff with Clyde Haslet, forming the Lambda Chi delegation to IF Council. Haslet also repre- sented the fraternity at their National convention in Toronto, last summer. Among the Lambda Chi Alphas are John Thomas, a member of Sigma Tau and Sigma Gamma Epsilon, and Alex Willson, SFA, Druid, and upperclass councillor. Every meeting of Kappa Phi Kappa finds fraters Bob Cook and Ed Hefner answering roll call. The Lambda Chis are quite proud of the initiation into their secrets of John Sargent, the son of the Grand High Zeta of the fraternity. 230 PHI DELTA THETA President . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .CHARLEs WRIGHT Vice-President. . . . . . .BERNARD CASHDOLLAR Secretmy . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .WILLIAM JONES Trmmrer . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .ROBERT DANNIES Faculty Adviyer. . . .MR.

Chuck Wright was the prexy of fraternity presidents as head of IF Council. In addition, Chuck was “dictator” of his own house for a year. In February, when Ted Lyons took over the Phi Delt gavel, they were in the thick of IF competition. To make room on top of the bookcase for the newly annexed Scholar- ship and Indoor Track cups, Ted had to find another place for the runner-up trophy in Interfrat volley ball and the award they won last May in outdoor track. Letterman Bob Dannies, who starts the ball rolling brother Curly's way on the gridiron, helps to keep the Phi Delt ball rolling on campus. Beside being hailed as a brother in ODK, he is Vice-President and organizer of Men’s Council. Bernie Cashdollar, the proverbial campus smoothie, wears keys for membership on the Panther editorial board, representative in IF Council, and assemblyman in SFA. Other Phi Delt footballers in addition to Curly Stebbins, Pitt's crooning halfback, and “Fumbler" Dannies, are Chuck Fleming, Congo Fullerton, and Johnny Dickinson. Pitt’s one man dating bureau, Bill Herbert" Angel, who was the spark of Phi Delt's rushing season, did a little sparkling of his own in the Glee Club. In December, the Iota brothers were hosts for the annual Phi Delt Tri-Province convention, the guest of honor being Dean Hoffman, president over the national roster of 47,000 Phi Delts, the largest group of fraters in the country.

When the Panthers played football in Pittsburgh, the Phi Eps turned out en masse to sit with a thrilled- full stadium and get an extra thrill as frater Marshall Goldberg, undisputed All- American halfback, led Pitt to the national gridiron title. When the Panthers stalked in out-of-town fields, Lester Hamburg, who headed the house and also sat in on the SFA exec committee, packed the boys into his high powered Buick and followed the team, but travelling closest to Biggie on all these football trips was Harold Klein, outstanding sophomore guard. The Phi Eps also had a personal interest in another campus activity. That was frater Bud Mayer's very successful Junior Prom, whose Flower Ball theme gave Goldberg gardenias in January instead of the much discussed roses. Upholding the Phi Ep colors most effectively on the Cathedral's eighth floor was Herbie Rackoff, managing editor of the New: and the Voice of Pitt, broadcasting over radio station KQV. Rackoff handed over news copy to Al Lasday, who helped write the heads. One of the most vigorous workers around the refurnished Neville St. house was Jack Kotler, who found time to chairman IF athletics. Banqueted to the gills, Biggie Goldberg's most savory dinner taste came when Phi Epsilon Pi honored him at a huge Hotel Schenley testimonial banquet, to which leading sports enthusiasts were invited. 232 PHI GAMMA DELTA Preridmt . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .ROBERT D.

Their Wallingford Street mansion is luxuriously furnished with leather furniture from top to bottom and the den is really conducive to a fraternity round table. The Fijis certainly have covered ground this year, especially Dick Mason, captain of the track team, who, under the fine managership of Carl Ulrey, won the 100 and 220 yard IC4A track championships. Managing is a Phi Gam specialty—Bill Stirling “rates" as both the Fiji house overseer and manager of the swimming team. He takes a fraternal interest in the accomplishments of the water splashers' ace diver, Steve Rodnok. The man commuting bareheaded between the Cathedral and Foster Me- morial trying to get the official permish to hold dances in the latter building is another Phi Gam manager, Jim Davis business exec of Pitt's thespians. And as a Sophomore, Homer McClintock, the campus fashion plate, was a business manager, too, in charge of the ducats for the most successful Soph Hop. High pressured wrestlers Roofner and Ray Dimit make it safe for brother Chuck Dimit to carry the chapter funds around with him. For a while, when he was bus manager, Chuck needed their help in guard- ing the IF informal money. During the remainder of the year he carried on in IF Council as Vice—Prexy. Four big Fijis standing in a row are Glee Clubbers Ray Bender, Bob Aschom, John Danton, and John Werry, who was also in Cap and Gown as the masculine lead. The outstanding Fiji bachelor, ODKer Paul Jennings, looks after the incoming freshmen men as chairman of Men's Customs. 233 PHI KAPPA Prerident . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .ALBERT BARR Vice-Prerideizt . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .S.

Al Barr, who was the Phi Kap prexy for two years, has been a campus leader for just as long. Besides being the varsity football manager, “Spanky" was a two year gavel wielder of ODK, Vice-Prex of SFA, and for the fourth season Al’s chubby personality highlighted the Cap and Gown show. The Phi Kaps have two more ODK men, a fraternity high, in Jack Withum and Bill McKenna. A Lieutenant- Colonel in ROTC, Jack is also a Scabbard and Blader, a member of Pitt Players and Cap and Gown. Bill is active as manager of Doc Carlson's basketeers, a varsity tennis star, and an SFAer, in addition to wearing a Scabbard and Blade pin. Early in the fall the Phi Kaps redecorated their house. The new red and green leather living room furniture exemplifying the happy holiday spirit which exists in their fraternity. Among the Phi Kap actives there are thirteen varsity lettermen. Heading the list are footballers All-American Frank Souchak, also captain of the golf team, Dante Dalle Tezze, John Urban, and Pitt's sensational Sophomore halfback, Dandy Dick Cassiano. Pat Cusick was king for a night as chairman of the Soph Hop; while Dalle Tezze was Dictator for a week in "Pickers Please.” This year's Cap and Gown business manager was a Phi Kap too—Steve Rooney. But, the big apple of them all was Walt “Susie-que" Cavalier, a perennial shiner in Cap and Gown and Chairman of Pitt's truckingest Cap and Gown dance. With all of these ace dancers it is little wonder that the Phi Kap's Shannopin Country Club spring formal was the tops. 234 Pl KAPPA ALPHA {fl Pmrident . . . . . . . . . . .FRANK H. ENGEL, JR.

Leading the PiKA smoothies on campus and in the house is their prexy, Wes Thompson. Naturally the new floors made dancing in the house nicer than ever. With the soft dim light from the new indirect lighting fixtures cast on the recently papered blue and cream—colored walls, the frat took on the air of the Rainbow Room. One of the bright Lights in the PiKA house is Ray, who was vice- prexy of CA and inherited the position of production manager of Cap and Gown from his frater jack Spear, who resigned in favor of the footlights in the C 8; G chorus. The last evening of school before the Yuletide recess found the PiKAs gathered around a colored lighted Xmas tree, after a belt straining banquet, to exchange gifts and Mary Livingston poems. The brothers coming back after New Years were pleasantly surprised with a dance thrown by the PiKAlets (pledges) to the tunes of Benny Goodman and Hal Kemp, by courtesy of their new phonograph amplifying system. Chairman of more school dances last year than any other Pittite was CA's prexy Ted Whitaker. When Ted was not leading the destinies of the CA, he had his hands full directing Pitt’s 150 piece band. In the band following the beat of Ted's baton was frater and ODK man Frank Engel. In the PiKA house, though, the tables were turned; the house was Engel's castle, and he was “king." Welcoming the band when it gave an intermission exhibition at one of the hockey games was Taylor Brittain, the hockey teams ace puckster. 235 CHANCELLOR JOHN G. BOWMAN CHANCELLOR JOHN GABBERT BOWMAN The Class of 1938 cherishes among the fondest remembrances of its college life, an appreciation of the personality as well as the ideals of Chancellor John G. Bowman. We have been for- tunate indeed in being better able to sense the warm friendli- ness he radiates, while continuing to reap the benefits of his idealistic achievements. For, it is from those ideals that have sprung, not only our magnificent Cathedral, but a philosophy of life and education that has been to us the true goal of all learning. But what has served to endear. him more, to University students, have been intimate glimpses into his private life and carefree youth. How realistically every boy lived over again with him, the pranks of his college days which he told so de- lightfully at Assembly meetings. Groups of rabid candid cam- era “addicts" have found in him an enthusiastic associate, for among his prized possessions is a “dark" room, where he has spent many happy hours developing his own prints. He laugh- ingly admits to being, particularly, a “bug" on nature photog- raphy. There is something appealing about a man who will sit for hours, eagerly awaiting an opportunity to snap the pic- ture of a tiny field mouse, poking his timid nose out into the bright sunshine. Such heart warming anecdotes have brought Chancellor Bowman closer to every student where his sincerity and friend- ship may be fully appreciated. 20 PI LAMBDA PHI Preridcm‘ . . . . . . . . . . . .DAV1D O.

The year's most distin- guished Pi Lam guest was the country's leading labor lawyer and Nation Award winner, Arthur Garfield Hays, who was tendered a testimonial dinner by his Pi Lam brothers. According to the “Gamma Stigma," annual Pi Lam raz rag printed for their Westmoreland Country Club Spring Formal, the Pi Lams have some campus who’s who. Co-editors of the raz rag Dave Grossman, and Jack Sigmon contributed their share to the Pi Lam glory as varsity football manager and chairman of the Yuletide Festival, respectively. The Dithridge Street frat has a houseful of campus treasurers—Milt Hansburg of Men's Council, Harry Bash in CA, and Sammy White- man in Druids. Leading the Pi Lams isjay Reich who is bus mgr. of Pitt's tri-weekly. _]ay’s chief understudy, New; ad manager, Ed Horne moved into the Pi Lam house to take over the gavel as Rex. On the editorial board of the same pub, Lenny Levison, ace sports editor, is still talking about his broadcast from the Pitt—Notre Dame football game. Another Pi Lam Len, Lenny Broido, organized Pitt's very successful hockey team. On the OwL, Fady Frankel is in charge of circulation and Dan Lichten- stein is an editorial board member. Among other Pi Lams who went places this year yn are Druids Sam Whiteman and Dick Weiss, who had an attack of “that old feelin . 236 SIGMA ALPHA EPSILON Prerident . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .HARVEY VOGT Vz'ce—Prerz'dent. . . . . . . . . . .

By March, the boys were again singing a merry crescendo. Not only was the cup returned, but the lion-guarded house was quaking in its foundation after a whole week of silver anniversary celebration, featuring a banquet-dance. Yet the women's fraternities know the SAE's best for their excellent house dances. On eight different occasions the SAE's played host in honor of one of the campus sororities. At these affairs Ray Nordstrom was the all-round man, who later lead the IF ball and headed the SFA Appointments Committee. In addition, he is wearing keys from ODK, Sigma Tau, and Sigma Gamma Epsilon, and a varsity letter for his work as a Pitt harrier. The SAE’s have more lettermen including Frank Patrick, Henry Adams, and Al Lezouski. With the coming of winter Patrick and Adams changed their football togs for basketball shorts and played on the Senior Football Players team. At the beginning of the second semester thirty-four actives elected Tom Roberts as the new SAE president and Don joy as keeper of the treasury. Don, who is a dapper dresser, was a cartoonist for the Pam‘/oer and wrote song script during the last two years for Cap and Gown. At the close of this year the SAE's had 112 chapters, the largest number in any national fraternity. 237 SIGMA ALPHA MU Prexizlent . . . . . . . . . . . . . .BERNARD TRUMPER Secretary . . .

Wintner In September, the SAMs added the finishing touches to their modernly furnished house when they brightened up the front porch with a coat of yellow paint. But this has only been one of the many SAM accomplishments. The earnestness of their desire to win the IF Scholarship Cup was shown when they finished the first semester with a topping 1.66 average. The SAMs aren't quite satisfied; their goal is setting the all—time IF scholarship mark. While the Sammies spend a lot of time leafing texts, they still do many things to keep them in the campus eye. It isn't very hard to keep sight of Cap and Gowner and Sammie prex Jerry Black, whose (earth)quaking personality has also been a familiar figure around the shot-put pit and IF Council. Milt Hoffman, playing the queen in “Pickers Please," was another easy to see Cap and Gowner. Mirror surface is in abundance around the SAM house, especially with the addition of the bright surface runner-up Ping-Pong and Mushball Cups. Pitt's most similar twins, Vic and Joe Reiter, were largely responsible for the annexation of both cups. And mainly through the eflorts of Vic, Pitt now can boast of a very competent table—tennis team. In a house of scholars, social activity found a very ‘ prominent place. Many of the innovations at the Sammies June evening country club Spring Formal were Cleveland born; imported from the very novel and fast step- ping tea dances and formals on the crowded SAM's National Convention calendar. 238 SIGMA CHI Prexidem‘. . . . . . . . . . . . . . .WILLIAM F.

From appearances, no one would ever know that the Sigma Chis are the oldest national fraternity on campus; since the house resembles a furniture stores model room. The Sigma Chis claim that their novel study room arrangement is responsible for their fast climb up the fraternity scholarship ladder. Another bit of Sigma Chi flash was displayed one Saturday morning when brothers Cliff Allen and Bob Grant made the famed Dithridge St. dash to determine who was the house Mercury. But the real speedster was the nation's number one junior outboard motorboat star, Bob Heap. Pitt’s Astaire and Rogers duo, Larry Orr, another motorboat champ, and Joan Young highlighted last New Year's Eve floor show at the Schenley with a big "Big Apple." Other thespianic Sigma Chis include Pitt Players’ high flying lead in “Ceiling Zero," Earl Riley, and his co-pilot, Austin Hay. Student stadium goers know Earl as Pitt's head cheer leader; while, Sleepy Austin, far from a socialslite, stood out as the Glee Club’s leading warbler. The Sigma Chis displayed their “never say die" spirit by electing Republican Hoover to be president. Of course, his first name is not Herbert, but George. Among the fraters is George Clifton, who is a pole Vaulter in his own right on the varsity track team. Like Robinson Crusoe, the Sigma Chis have their man Friday, a varsity Panther puckster. The passionate glint in the Sigma Chis’ eyes when they sing their sweetheart song is inspired by their Sigma Chi sweetheart, Sonja Henie. 239 Tl-IETA CHI Pmrizlmt . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .THoMAs BRICKER Vice-Pre.ridmt . . . . . . . . . . . . . .D1XoN POTTER Secretary . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .ROBERT JONES Trm.rm'er . . . . . . . . . . . . . .ROBERT RANDOLPH Faculty Aduiyer. . . . .MR.

That same red sign might mark many of the fraternity contributions to the campus, too. For years the “High C" in Glee Club has worn a Theta Chi pin, and this year was no exception, for Tom Bricker, house prexy, carried on tradition by wielding the gavel as Glee Club president. Working with Bricker was Bill Wolfe, the Glee Club's manager and secretary of Theta Chi. Two members of this house are well-known to football fans: Bill Daddio, one the nation's finest football ends, and good-natured Johnny (Chick) Chickerneo, who has earned his varsity post as quarterback against the stiffest kind of opposition. Varsity backfielder Larry Peace also signed in as a pledge at the Dithridge Street house this year. Varsity “P" wearer, too, is Pete Bennett, Coach Carlson's ace high-jumper. I. C. 4A indoor champion in his sophomore year, Bennett will again be after the title this spring. This spring will find the entire house ready to defend a champion- ship, too. The coveted trophy for the sweepstakes, biggest event for fraternities in Spring Festival, went to that house in 1937, and, according to the Theta Chis, there’s an empty place on the mantel waiting the 1938 first place cup. 240 Sorors And F raters I bid “hearts" Close harmony Bull session “It can’: happen here" What could be sweeter “Posin' " 24] TO THOSE who have made the goal of all undergraduates, a Varsity “P," and to those who possess neither emblem nor insignia, but only the realization that they, by their efforts, have made the Varsity possible—to “P" men and “scrubs" alike, we dedicate this section of the OWL. ATHLETES ATHLETICS AT THE UNIVERSITY James Hagan Director of Athletics With the winning of eight titles by five of its teams, with the establishment of a new “simon pure” athletic code, and with the outbreak of sev- eral rumors in the football and basketball depart- ments, the University of Pittsburgh's 1937-38 ath- letic year can safely be called successful, dramatic, and spicy. Of the championship winning teams, Jock Suth- erland's footballers can be given first place, with three crowns. john McSorley’s first year hockey- ites come next with two honors, followed by the boxing, swimming and basketball squads of Jack Schricker, Pat Corr, and Dr. H. C. Carlson respec- tively, with one championship apiece. The Blue and Gold's football season was outstanding, not only to Pittsburgh fans, but to the entire United States as well. The leading papers in the country proclaimed the undefeated Sutherlanders “the most powerful bulk of football machinery during 1937" and then followed through by naming them mythi- cal National Champions. As branches of this Na- tional Championship, the Eastern Championship and City of Pittsburgh Championship were also granted the Panthers. Marshall Goldberg, junior left halfback from Elkins, W. Va., was named the champions’ champion, or in other words, almost country-wide unanimous selection for All-American rating. Displacing basketball as the second rank- ing sport to football, the hockey team defeated its league opponents, Tech and Duquesne, enough times to win the City and Eastern Championships. This year was the first that Pitt has been represented 244 on the hockey ice. Keeping up the traditional Pitt habit of winning championships, the swimmers captured the Eastern Championship, the boxers easily pointed their way to the Eastern Intercol- legiate Title, and the basketballers, despite a poor season in general, managed to just win the City of Pittsburgh Championship. All of this was rather usual. But when, early in February, the Board of Trustees handed down a “code for the conduct of athletics at the University of Pittsburgh," Pitt had something new. Briefly, the new program does two things. It codifies the eligibility rulings and, secondly, it sets up a new administrative body for the enforcement of that code. Under the first division, there are clauses which taboo all forms of recruiting, restrict prac- tice sessions to two hours daily, eliminate all direct subsidization, discourage any alumni help, and re- quire advancement in class by each athlete. Sev- eral regular members of the football squad were banned from spring training this year due to one or two of the above clauses. Administration of these rules has been put into the hands of a new governing agency, known as the Faculty Commit- tee on Athletic Policy, which replaces the old Council. If one were to tabulate the rumors re- garding Pitt Athletics for 1937-38, he’d probably have to set up a Series A, B, etc. and numerous subdivisions and then he might not have them all. Sports at Pitt this year were indeed successful, dramatic and spicy. THYRSA WEALTHEOW AMOS DEAN or WOMEN Since 1919 women's activities at Pitt have been under the capable and considerate direction of Dean Thyrsa W. Amos; and the University rejoices in the continuation of her splendid services. Energetic in the pursuit of her ideals, yet so genuinely coopera- tive in her relations with women students, she has truly been a guiding light, in the advancement of coeducational opportunities here at Pitt. Dean Amos has been fittingly prepared for her profession with a background rich in elements necessary to administrative education. She received her early degrees at the University of Kansas and it was at Columbia University where her extensive talents in the field of student direction came to the fore. At Pitt she has continued her invaluable assistance to University women down through the years. VINCENT WESLEY LANFEAR DEAN or MEN The personality of Dean Vincent W. Lanfear has become a tradition among Pitt students. His friendly guidance, accompanying warm smile and drawling voice, has been of immeasurable aid to boys confused by the intricacies of college life. His heartfelt interest and sympathy in student activity have given Pitt men a close personal con- tact with their University. Dean Lanfear was born and educated in Texas, but came to Columbia for his Ph.D. After brief stays at Columbia and Yale, Dr. Lanfear came to Pitt in 1925 as a professor in finance. He assumed the task of director of the Evening Division, and retained this post until his appointment as Dean of Men in 1933. DEAN THYRSA W. AMos DEAN VINCENT W. LANFEAR The Pitt Panther Official Mascot Coach “_]ock" Sutherland 46 ’37 PANTHER GRIDIRON SEASON TOPS HE triple-threat stars of 1937 are the Pitt Panthers. Picked almost unanimously as the foremost grid machine of the United States during the past season, Dr. jock Sutherland’s squad lived up to pre-season pre- dictions and accomplished what few championship- bound elevens have done in the past: won nine and tied one, during a ten game schedule representing the best in all parts of the country, over opponents, in each case, “shooting the works" to upset what they considered their toughest and most eminent foe of the year. As tokens of its ratings, the squad received the City of Pittsburgh and the Pittsburgh Chamber of Commerce trophies for the city title; the Lambert Trophy, for the second successive year, in honor of the sectional title; and the Dickinson trophy, presented by the Four Horse- men, for the mythical national championship. At the Conclusion of the pigskin term, the squad rejected a “feeler,” which was believed by many to be an intro- ductory flourish, to a second consecutive Rose Bowl bid for the Panthers. In addition, as a result of the fine season, Coach Sutherland's all-time grid record in his fourteen years at the University was brought up to 103 victories, 18 losses, and 11 ties. Furthermore, many individual stars of this aggregation placed on numerous “all" teams, chief of which was the naming of Tony Matisi, of Endicott, New York, and Marshall Goldberg, of Elkins, West Virginia, on the All—American Board's All—American eleven.

An unknown quantity previous to the first contest, because of the abandonment of the annual football camp, Dr. Sutherland's Panthers announced their intentions to football writers all over the country by counting nine touchdowns and five conversions with surprising dispatch for an early season test. First press notices of the year headlined “Dandy" Dick Cassiano, sophomore, who ran touchdowns four times on suc- cessive dashes of forty-eight, twenty-one, sixty—six, and forty-six yards, in addition to throwing completed passes twice in three attempts. Others who each tallied six-pointers included Stapulis, Goldberg, Peace, Patrick, and Dickinson. Merkovsky place-kicked extra points twice, while Daddio, Souchak, and Farkas each registered one conversion. The Blue and Golders ran “power plays” for four hundred and one 247 yards to their opponents four yards through scrim- magc. PITTSBURGH 20, WEST VIRGINIA O In contrast to their touchdown party the previous week, the Pitt Panthers were held to six points for three quarters before they were able to unload two Two placement kicks by Elmer Mercovsky, a touchdown by johnny Urban, and two by Curly Stebbins made the twenty- point total for the winners. quick fourth period touchdowns. Battling against what was reputedly the strongest team to represent W. V. U. in the last decade, Pitt went scoreless until late in the second half, when Urban cut back of left tackle to begin a thirty yard touchdown dash. Prodded by determined Mountain- eer offense, Pitt was forced to increase its lead. Result: two more touchdowns and another victory. PITTSBURGH 6, DUQUESNE O The Pitt footballers cut themselves a sweet piece of revenge pie on October 9. In a game which brought more satisfaction to the team, officials, and student body than any other contest during the season, Dr. Sutherland's gridders scored a great team victory over Duquesne, six to nothing, before sixty thousand divided rooters. Won under miserable, rainy condi- tions, the victory marked the first step toward the city title, and the return of some pride lost to the Hilltoppers last fall. Boasting the pre-game cry, “We'll stop Goldbergl", the Duquesne rooters and team were bewildered and likewise embarrassed when, carrying the ball for the first time, “Biggie” tore through right tackle, and sped 77 yards for the lone score of the game. Fumbling and faulty Center work, probably due to the unusual weather, slowed up both teams. Oddly enough, the game exactly duplicated weather and playing condi- tions of the year before, with the Pitt team winning by the same score by which it had once lost.

With thirty seconds remaining in the first half, Stebbins on the Ram five yard line, reversed to Goldberg, who ran off right tackle untouched for what the jammed Polo Ground assembly thought was the first score in three years of Smoky City and Forty- Second Street football. The referee ruled that Matisi was holding on the play; the score was nullified; the Sutherlands were penalized fifteen yards; and football experts throughout the country have had something to talk about ever since. A Fordham offensive which began early in the first quarter ended on the Pitt forty—three, but a fumble in the second period allowed Captain Druze to attempt a field goal from the twenty-five. It was low. The third quarter brought three more unsuccessful three- point attempts, two by Fordham from the ten and eight yard stripes respectively, and one by Bill Daddio from the Fordham twent_v—four. The Pitts ended with twice as many stick-movers as the Rose-Hillers, but no score in their only tie of the season. PITTSBURGH 21, WISCONSIN 0 Newspapers again used their “GOLDBERG STARS," twenty-point type on October 23 when the “Mad" Marshall twisted and drove for one hundred and twenty-five yards and two touchdowns through Harry Stuhldreher's Wisconsin team, as the Panthers won easily, twenty to nothing. The game marked the completion of the first half of the Pittites’ schedule, with Dr. Sutherland's boys still unscored upon. A Blue and Goldberg march of seventy—nine yards in the first period brought the initial touchdown, With “Biggie” getting loose on consecutive gains of one, six, five, twenty—nine, and a payoff tackle gallop of six yards. On the second play of the next half Marshall was off again by route of Wisconsin’s left tackle to the goal line sixty-four yards away. Late in this same period, Dick Cassiano, Goldberg's replacement, took a lateral pass from Frank Patrick and sprinted seventy- three yards through an open field for the third score. Daddio placekicked the three conversions. Pitt’s superiority was demonstrated in the final statistics showing three hundred and fifty-two yards from scrimmage against thirteen for the Badgers, with fourteen first downs to three. Just Another Saturday 2-19 PITTSBURGH Z5, CARNEGIE TECH 14 Winning for the nineteenth time in twenty—four tries, Pitt also annexed the city championship for 1937 by defeating Tech. The big Plaid team, however, was the first to score against Pitt in the current schedule . secondary proof, at least, showing that the brand of football they played was in line with the best traditions of the Pitt—Tech football feud. Frank Patrick plunged two yards for the first six points after Lezouski's block of Lee’s punt which Delich recovered, shortly after the opening kickoff. But a Scotty touchdown, result of a 21 yard aerial from Moroz to Kopcsak, and Kopcsak’s place kick conversion, gave the Techites a 7-6 advantage until 15 seconds remained in the half. At this point, Frank Souchak toed a perfect placement kick field goal from the 25, and all the Panther rooters were able to enjoy their hot dogs and coffee during intermission time because their favorite warriors were ahead, 9-7. Seven minutes after the third quarter kickoff, Patrick, Cassiano, and Stebbins had ploughed 80 yards for another six points, with Pat again receiving the point honors. Lee fell on a bad center pass back of his own goal line for a Pitt safety, and johnny Urban shot a long, hard one down the center to Ed Spotovich for another touchdown and the end of Blue and Gold scoring for the day. Tech tallied again in the closing minutes of play on two passes to Rosenthal for gains of 50 and 4 yards. FRANK PATRICK, Fullback DANTE DALLE TEzzE, Guard JOHN MICHELOSEN, Qzmrierbac/e TONY MATISI, Tat/ale 250 PITTSBURGH 21, NOTRE DAME 6 The Notre Dame and Pittsburgh football series ended with this game, but Notre Dame probably wishes now that the contract had terminated last fall. Elmer Layden’s Irish were just unfortunate enough to be the battlefield on which the Panther bombshell exploded this year, firing away 21 points in 11 minutes of the final period, after allowing the heirs of Rockne to enjoy themselves with a six-point lead. After a scoreless first half, Jack McCarthy caught the Pittsburghers off balance with a high heave down the center to Andy Pupulis, who pulled in the oval on the Pitt 30 and scarnpered off to the first touchdown. This was the button that turned on the Sutherland power plant, and what followed is being remembered by many as the greatest exhibition of football momen- tum ever generated in Pitt history. A pass, Goldberg to Hoffman, the longest complete pass that “Biggie” had ever thrown, set the stage for a Patrick line buck for a touchdown. The Pitt team moved 67 yards in seven line plays, with Stebbins reversing 26 yards for the second touchdown. After a Pitt kickoff, Stebbins intercepted a Notre Dame pass. In two plays, Gold- berg and Patrick drove 42 yards for the final touch- down. Souchak converted after each touchdown. PITTSBURGH 13, NEBRASKA 7 It was a Pittie. That is, it must have been for the Cornhuskers who came all the way from Lincoln, Nebraska, with no defeats and high aspirations for a national title, but who, nevertheless, went the way of all teams who had scored on Pitt first this fall. An overflow crowd of 71,000, necessitating field bleachers, watched the Golden Cat on one of its best days. Two great lines clawed at each other throughout the first half, with the Pitt forwards giving probably their outstanding performance of the year. A Pitt punt set the stage for some Nebraska razzle-dazzle and then touchdown. Stapulis booted from his own 14 to the enemy 40 where Harris Andrews caught it, ran towards the north sidelines, and slipped the ball to Jack Dodd, who was running the opposite direction. Dodd kept running for 60 yards and, after English converted, the Nebraskans went wild with champion- ship visions. But again, as in the previous week, this was merely a signal for the Pitt Juggernaut to roll. Frank Patrick bucked over the last yard for an 80 yard march, during which there were no passes. Souchak's conversion attempt hit the upright and the Blue and Gold had ten minutes left to get ahead. Aided by a Nebraska fumble, Stebbins, Cassiano, and Stapulis went 33 yards in three plays for a Pitt victory, with Stapulis scoring. PITTSBURGH 28, PENN STATE 7 The Pitt Powerhouse, deciding it would go easy on the nerves of its coach and the student body, went out and steamrollcred two first quarter touchdowns and two extra points, and then coasted through to a 28-7 victory over the finest Penn State team to visit the Stadium in a decade. In contrast to the previous three weeks of thrill touchdowns for victories, the Suther- landers sent Curly Stebbins over for a score early in the first quarter on the tail of a 55 yard march, and not many minutes later Marshall Goldberg scored after another 55 yard tear and wear. The second team in the next period for Cassiano to execute the nearest play of the contest, a 79 yard run for another touch- down, and the Pittites left the field at half time 20 points to the good. West Virginia Marshall scored once more in the fourth period after Sidney Alter had taken a pass for State's only points in the third frame. PITTSBURGH 10, DUKE O The 1937 Pittsburgh Panthers closed one of the out- standing grid chapters in the University’s history by converting two first-half fumbles into as many scores to win over Wallace Wade's Duke Blue Devils, 10-0, in a muddy, rain-drenched contest. Held out of Duke territory by Tipton's long- distance, bouncing punts, Pitt was repeatedly forced to run two or three plays and then send Frank Patrick back to boot. On the fourth of this rather monoto- nous series of punt exchanges, Honey Hackney fum- bled a Patrick punt on his own 20 yard line and Souchak recovered. Souchak, with Goldberg holding the ball, connected with a perfect three—point place- ment from the 23 yard line to give the Northerners a first quarter advantage. In an almost similar setup in the next period, but staged this time by the second team, Hackney, once more the victim, fumbled Bill Stapulis' kick on the Duke 14 and Ed Spotovich recovered for Pitt. Dandy Dick Cassiano cut through left tackle on the next play for the six-pointer and Souchak returned to the game to kick the goal. RED SCOTT, Guard BASKETBALL QUINTET CAP Pitt's 1937-38 basketball campaign, which was chiefly engineered by five seniors, was, in a relative way, lukewarm. There are no seasons within contemporary recol- lection that the Pittmen favored the debit column. In twenty—one contests, fourteen of them on foreign floors, the Blue and Gold hoopsters bowed twelve times and played to only nine happy endings. The only bright colors in this comparatively dis- mal picture of the court sport, which finds its final resting place in Coach Dr. H. Clifford Carlson's office in Falk Clinic, are the City League Chamipon— ship and the tie for third place, with Georgetown, in the Eastern Conference. Pitt played wobbly ball in their struggle to retain the City cup. Dr. Carlson, having had his famous “Win ’em all" ultimatum deflated during the early season Western jaunt, did away with his “figure- eight" floor style and inaugurated the “Elimina- tion Offense.” The new system never matured. Ion GARCIA, Center MYLES ZELEZNIK, Forward TURES RAGS RADVANSKY, Forumzrd CITY CHAMPIONSHIP Duquesne's five opened the City series at the Stadium and displayed plenty of fight, but fell before the true basket shooting of Myles Zeleznik, who was the Panther spark all season, 35-28. Tech's classy young cagers, favored to win the local title, gave the Oakland veterans a nervous and strenuous evening, but finally had to yield to the Pitt players’ better hoop eyes, 36 to 30. In the second half of the Pittsburgh race the Panthers were surprised by a much smoother click- ing Duquesne club than they had encountered earlier in the campaign. The quint from the Boule- vard of the Allies stormed the Pitt buckets for 39 points, while the Panthers were able to draw only within two marks of the Hilltoppers. This game was a scorcher all the way, reminiscent of the uncomfortably close tilts waged by these natural enemies in past years. Duke's win over Pitt threatened to shift the City League into a triple tie, since Carnegie was counted (Continued Next Page) B013 JOHNSON, Guard ED SPOTOVICH, Gzmm’ TEMPLE’ Pitt—Temple Basketball Fray BASKETBALL TEAM SCORES NINE VICTORIES on to humble the Cathedral courtmen in their scheduled meeting a few days later. But the un- expected happened in the Carnegie clash. The Panther basketeers, led by Captain Bob Johnson and Eddie Spotovich, played the smart, snappy type of ball Pitt teams are widely known for. Their spirited guarding and ambitious follow~up of every shot netted them a decisive victory over the Plaid, and, more important, the City crown. Considering the Pitt schedule, twenty-one games, fourteen of them away; and what went with it, one hard stretch coming during the mid-semester examinations, the installation of an undeveloped new system, and a scarcity of relief material, Dr. Carlson’s veterans did a good enough job. The Oakland athletes can sit back and enjoy some measure of satisfaction from non-league skirmishes, even though they did lose the majority of their 254 matches. They were at their best the nights they topped Syracuse and Northwestern, two of the nation’s leading quints, and only Notre Dame’s great court club set the Blue and Gold warriors back hard. In most of their defeats the Pitts missed the favored side of the score by only one, two, three and four points. Dr. H. C.

TIPPETTS DEAN OF THE SCHOOL OF BUSINESS ADMINISTRATION Although he has only been associated with the University since 1935, Dean Charles S. Tippetts has reached a place in the heart of his students that is an enviable one. This man with the ready smile and a cheery word combines those rare qualities of ex- ceptional ability and human understanding that has lent a touch of inspiration to his teaching and administrative career. Dean Tippett’s extensive experience has been gained from many sources. He took his A.B. de- gree at Princeton in 1916, served in an official ca- pacity overseas in 1918, and has held a professor- ship in economics at the University of Washington, Iowa, and Buffalo. Since his stay here he has been actively aligned with the Chamber of Commerce and the Federal Home Loan Bank of Pittsburgh. DEAN CHARLES S. T1ppETTs UNIVERSITY DEANS DEAN STANTON C. CRAWFORD STANTON C. CRAWFORD DEAN OF THE COLLEGE Dean Stanton C. Crawford embodies in his own personality and background, the very elements and purposes to be found in the school of which he is head. His interests and hobbies are flung widely into divergent fields. Academically he continues to pursue his studies in biology and zoology, and his literary contributions in these sciences command nationwide attention. But he endeavors to find time for his interesting, if irreconcilable, hobbies of Walking and ocean cruising. After receiving his Ph.D. at Pitt in 1926 he was appointed head of the Johnstown Center. In 1933 Dr. Crawford came to the University to serve as director of High School Relations and in 1936 took up his duties as Dean of the College. 22 TRACK TEAM SETS NEW RECORD Coach Carl Olson started his sixth year as track coach at Pitt with the outdoor IC4A championship to defend, sans some excellent graduate trackmen, and with Johnny Woodtufi’, Pitt's greatest track star, back to race for new world records. With a very tough indoor schedule through which to wade, Panther track prospects looked bleak. However, the rapid development of a group of sopho- more track stars, during the months of January and February, turned the track house and track training quarters into a brighter place. Second year men Frank Ohl, Al McKee, Al Ferrara,Johnny Bazyk, and Bud Hafer appeared to score points and ease the situa- tion. Ohl, McKee, and Ferrara teamed up with striding Johnny Woodruff to form a mile relay team, which is one of the best in the country and a constant threat to the world record. This quartet ran off with the four indoor mile relay titles; the IC4A, the Central Intetcollegiates, the Butler Relays, and the West Virginia Relays. In collecting these titles, the mile relayers had to beat the other top-notch quartets of the East, West, and Far Western uni- Versities. 236 Sophomores Johnny Bazyk and Bud Hafer handled the shot putt events. Hafer didn't compete in many indoor events, but Bazyk traveled with the team to capture a second place in the Butler Relays and a third at South Bend in the Central Inter- collegiate competition. In both instances Bazyk stacked up against world cham- pions. Frank Ohl and Al McKee left the mile quartet long enough to score points in other events. McKee is a quarter miler of great promise, and during the IC4A meet ran the 600 meters within 2 seconds of world record time. Ohl is the best broad jumper on the squad and doubles up to enter and usually place in the dash events. During the Central Intercollegiates, Butler Relays, and West Virginia Relays, Ohl cap- tured the broad jump event and placed in the clashes, Striding Johnny Woodrufi’ met trouble during January and February. His first time out, during the Millrose games, Johnny trailed home sixth in the half mile run, and track critics concluded that Wood- rufi‘ was not suited for indoor running. Johnny was not in top condition and spent the rest of January and all of February an- INDOOR TRACK STARS IN THE LIMELIGHT choring the relay team and keeping out of all other competition. However, in the Central Intercollegiates, the Connellsville flyer again toed the line and dashed off with the quarter and half mile runs, and repeated his half mile victory in the West Virginia Relay. Ken Ryden, ace high and low hurdler, wrenched a leg muscle and spent most of the indoor season on the sidelines waiting for the coming of spring and the outdoor season. And Pete Bennet, high jumper, spent the earlier part of the indoor season waiting for an injury to heal. Bennet re- entered competition with a win of the high jump during the Central Intercollegiates, was third in skimming over the bar in the Butler Relays, and again headed the class in the West Virginia Relays. Captain Edgar “Dick" Mason, Sprinter, found indoor running not to his liking. Mason shows to better advantage outdoors and spent most of the time working out the leg kinks for the outdoor season. Dick entered the West Virginia Relay and dashed away to a second place. Ed Routch, Frank Kristl, broad jumpers and dash men, George Clifton and George Dines, pole Vaulters, all were point getters and handy men in the meets. Thrice the team traveled to New York during the Indoor season for the Millrose games, N.Y.A.C. games, and IC4A, and each trip proved unhappy as far as team The Panthers started to hit a winning stride at the Cen- tral Intercollegiates and won second place from a field of fifteen strong western track teams. The following week Pitt again in- vaded the Mid-West for the Butler Relays and finished fifth beating out powerful squads from the Big Ten and surrounding territories. A second place in the West Virginia Relays wound up the indoor fes- tivities, and the Panther track team faced the outdoor season with a respectable in- door record and brilliant prospects for a gala outdoor season. results were concerned. 257 VARSITY BOXERS SCORE Punch that Bag SEASON ‘S RECORD Pitt . . . . . . . . . . . . . .7 W. 8:] . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

In the elimination heats on the day before the championship finals at West Virginia on March 19, the Pitt punchers won places for six representatives in the eight bouts to be staged the next day. As- sured of eighteen points by merely placing the men in the official bouts, and since no other squad had secured enough places to assure itself of over fifteen markers, the University of Pittsburgh was declared oflicial champions before the fights even started. But the Panthers did more than merely go through the motions the next day. Jed Curtzi and Ray Bombe boxed their way to point decisions, thereby annexing individual titles in the 145 and 155-pound classes, at the same time raising their teams total to twenty-two points. West Virginia, Bucknell, and Temple finished in a three-way tie for runner- up honors, each with thirteen points. Washington andjefferson College, the only other member school represented, was last with three points. Ralph Durand, Pitt's defending bantamweight champ, was eased out of his title in the elimination round by “Red” Glenn, of Temple. At an oflicial meeting held prior to the staging of the finals, Pitt's jimmy Hagan, director of ath- letics, was elected president of the Conference for the next year. In dual meet competition this year, the Panthers won three and lost four. Johnny Wargo, 135-pound beltet, won all seven bouts in his division, but lost his first contest to Stevie Stefanou, of Bucknell, in the championship finals. Now Take it Easy If the third time is the charm, then Pitt's wrestling team must be immune to it! In other words, for the third consecutive year, the Pitt Panther gets off his wrestling mat without having a Victory to show for his efforts. After coming up second best in dual meets for two years, Coach Ed Mazeski's gruntmen, captained by Rudy Tomarelli, were expecting to win at least one match this season. But the 1937-38 record shows losses to Franklin and Marshall, 32-O; Case, 19-9; Temple, 23-11; Kent State, Ohio, 28-O; Waynesburg, 24-8; and West Virginia, 34%-11/2. However, if one is looking for consola- tion, he finds it in comparing this year’s point scoring record and last year's. The Panthers totaled 29% points to their opponents’ 150% in six matches this sea- son, while their predecessors pointed only 28 to their foes’ 144 infiue meets last season. In addition to Tomarelli and Harry Roofner, Frank Kristufek, a sophomore, who is Senior A.M.A. champion, started for the matmen.

Prior to this meet at New Bruns- wick, the water Panthers had annexed the Eastern Intercollegiate title, in addition to running up a dual meet record of five wins and one loss. The Pittmen's toughest dual meet of the season came as the last one, after five suc- cessive victories, against National Inter- collegiate runnerup, Ohio State. Although score books record the meet as a lop-sided 60-15 Walkaway for the Ohioers, actually, competition in the individual contests was close. In most of the events, the boys had the judges scratching their heads to deter- mine a winner. Milt Lederstein, Pitt's chief hope for first places, failed to appear for competition, reporting a heavy cold and an injured foot. Pitt became Eastern Champions at the annual meet of the Eastern Intercollegiate Swimming Association in the Metropoli- tan Club pool on March 13. The Panthers On Your Mark 260 Happy Landings! scored forty points, followed by Rutgers, the pre-meet favorite, 25 points; Franklin and Marshall, 24; Western Reserve, 17; and Lehigh, N.Y.U., C.C.N.Y., and Car- negie Tech, each with a few points. The tankers’ dual meet record this year is definitely better than last season's, when the swimmers tallied a five-victory, three- loss rating. Corr's men's most convincing win this year came in the first meet, on January 29, against Slippery Rock, 54-O. SEASONS RECORD DUAL MEETS Pitt . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .54 Slippery Rock. . . . . .

The Blue and Gold hockey squad, giving Pitt a representative in the ice-skat- ing sport for the first time in this 1937-38 season, joined the veteran football, basketball, boxing, and swimming teams in the habit of winning a cham- pionship or two per year. The hockeyites became 1938 champions of the city of Pittsburgh and of the Eastern Division of the Ohio-Pennsylvania Inter- collegiate League. John McSorley, Notre Dame, coached the twelve-man squad, which played all its home games on the Duquesne Garden ice. After winning nine, losing three, and tying one in league and extra-league competition, the Blue and Golders qualified to meet Duquesne for the city and eastern title. Playing under the regulation that the team totaling the greater number of points in a two-game series would be declared winner, the Panthers lost the initial game to the Dukes, 1-0, but led by Captain Bob Schooley, who registered _ V all the tallies, came back to convincingly beat the Indoor Tennis Hilltoppers, 3-O. Hockey Match READY, AIM, FIRE Pitt's crack Rifle Team, attracting little attention from the average student, other than the noise it made while practicing at the Stadium, turned in a top-notch performance for the second consecutive year, under the direction of Captain D. M. Mitchell. Displaying their shooting ability in eleven meets from December 4 to March 26, the gunmen gained first places many times, over such competition as Lehigh, St. johns, johns Hopkins, Drexel, Penn- sylvania, Penn State, and other large universities and colleges. Last season the Panther riflemen tied Carnegie Tech and Cornell for first places in the Allegheny Intercollegiate League, won second place in a national rifle tournament conducted by a newspaper chain, and tied the University of California for fourth place in the shoulder-to—shoulder matches run off at Annapolis. Crack Riflemen 261 A WORLD OF SPORTS The ping of tennis rackets as white balls sail across tennis courts—the swish of bas- ketballs through hoops~the dull thud of stick against ball in a hockey game, char- acterize women's activities in the field of sports at Pitt. Athletics for women are optional; but if a student decides that she wishes to include sports in her activities, there are many opportunities available for her to do so. The Women's Athletic Association makes sports available for women students who want athletics as an extra-curricular activity. This year, in addition to its regu- lar meetings, this organization sponsored play-days at the gym and week-end out- ings at Laurel Ridge where the girls did everything from horse-back riding and hik- ing to fighting snowball battles, their choice of fun depending upon the season of the year. Bull /5 Eye Because they are not allowed to enter activities until their sophomore year, freshman women are not permitted to be- come members of the W.A.A. Sponsored for freshmen as a substitute for this asso- ciation is the sports unit whose activities are very similar to those of the W.A.A. This year as previously, the unit met at the Trees Gymnasium on Friday afternoons during the activities hour; and the girls played ping-pong, badminton, basketball, and volleyball. During the winter, a swim- ming party to which all the other units were invited was held at the gym. In May, the unit sponsored a play-day for all the units. Hockeyites Ix) O\ I\) — AND WOMEN For the girl who wishes to make physi- cal education part of her regular curricu- lum, the University has offered for many years an excellent course in this field. This course requires four years of sports. In her freshman year, the would-be phys. ed. takes the regular course in physical educa- tion offered to all freshman women so that she may become acquainted with the fun- damental rules of all sports. Games are discontinued during the soph- omore year while swimming, calisthenics, stunts, and social dancing are practiced for grace and poise. The women's and men’s classes are combined. It is not unusual to see a tall, burly football man and a slim young sophomore playing “London Bridges Falling Down.” The learning of such games is required so that these phys. eds. may know how to teach such games to children in elementary schools. Setting Up Exercises The girls are ready for special techniques and rules in all sports when they have reached their junior year. Both tap and social dancing become a part of their class work. By this time, they have learned how to swim and are passing their junior and senior life—saving tests. During their final year, physical education students spend part of their time practice teaching and the remainder in reviewing all sports, dances, games, calisthenics, and life- saving. At the end of her senior year, each phys. ed. possesses such grace and poise as to set an example of what clean living, exercise, and good health can accomplish and leaves school a far different girl from the awk- ward, young freshman who climbed the hill to the gym four years before.

During the Year 1937-38 CHARLES E. PRALL’ DEAN 017 THE SCHOOL OF EDUCATION The School of Education boasts a man possessing the vigor of youth and the experience of a matured educator in Dean Charles E. Prall. Dignity and confidence mark him as the capable administrator, and a vivid sense of humor has made him a genuine friend to those who seek his counsel. His interests range from an appreciation of symphonic music to admiration of Eddy Duchin's music. Dean Prall's career in the field of education has been a wide and thorough one. From 1912 to 1927 he served as Superintendent of four different school systems in Iowa. Before coming to the University in 1934 he was successively Professor of Educational DEAN CHARLES E. PRALL Research at the University of Arkansas and Dean of Education at Arkansas State University. A com- plete knowledge of his field has prompted him to contribute frequent treatises to educational journals dealing with problems of research and technique. UNIVERSITY DEANS LLOYD MAHONY J. LLOYD MAHONY DIRECTOR 017 THE EVENING DIVISION Since 1934, when Mr. Lloyd Mahony was ap- pointed Director, the Evening Division has added immeasureably to its original practical purposes. No small art of credit is, of course, due to the transfer 0 the location of evening classes to the quiet, inspiring surroundings of the Cathedral in April 1936. But more important has been the per- sonality and ideals of Mr. Mahony. He has striven continuously to create an atmosphere and a back- ground of appreciation that will create for his stu- dents a newer, fresher view of the world that a University should afford. Mr. Mahony studied at New York University, graduating from the School of Commerce in June 1923. After a brief stay as Research Fellow at the Guaranty Trust Company in New York. He came to the University as an instructor in Finance. For nine years, he served in the School of Business Ad- ministration. Then in 1934 he succeeded Dean Lanfear as the Director of the Evening Division, and has since fulfilled that duty with great success and distinction. 23 EVER UPWARD The Cathedral from an odd angle. PROGRESS OF THE UNIVERSITY “Ever upward . . . until education ex- pands above the clouds into the light of culture,” has been the object and trend of the University. During the past year Pitt has progressed educationally, adminis- tratively, and physically, in its endeavor to spread the light of the "candle" . . . scholarship . . . to its students and com- munity. Laying of the cornerstone marked the beginning of the interior completion of the Cathedral. The Commons Room, exempli- fying inspiration, acquired its full dignity with the addition of its mood——expressive furnishings, the wrought-iron grill work and chandeliers, and the Hammond organ. Flagstones forming the floor have been smoothed and treated to bring out and preserve their natural color. The inspiration of the Commons Room carries over into the Nationality class- roon:s with an appreciation of man's cultural contributions as they have devel- oped through the ages. In June, four of the rooms, the Swedish, Scottish, German, and Russian, representing national cultures from four different sections of the world, will be dedicated. The general atmosphere arising from the individual rooms shows that the appreciation of art is world—wide. 266 The Swedish Room was dedicated as Pi tts- burgh's part in the three-hundredth anni- versary of the landing of the Swedes in North America. With its painted walls and ceilings this classroom will tell the students of the dignity, gaity, reverence, Heinz Chapel spire framed by oak leaves. In the Alldred Room, the Women's Library, and the Law School classrooms, stu- dents find opportunity for study and relaxation. NATIONALITY ROOMS NEAR COMPLETION and humor, that lie in the depth of the Swedish character. Rugged individualism is expressed by the furnishings in the Scottish Room. Dignity and culture are shown by the carved coats of arms and inscribed quotations of Germany's greatest authors on the walnut panelled walls in the German Room. The spirit of youth going forth to fight evil is the message symbolized in the embroidered “vishivka" of St. George and the Dragon in the Russian Room. Continuing the idea of the nationality rooms is the Early American Room, opened last Spring on the third floor. Its low beamed Ceiling, with the secret bed- room chamber above, contrasted with the Gothic height of the Commons Room, fits in with the attempt to show the expansion of culture and learning through the ages. Unfinished classrooms surrounding the Commons Room on the first three floors, characterized by “Pompeiian red" brick, asbestos covered steam pipes, and galvan- ized iron ventilators, were prematurely put into active use. But these trivial hardships gave way to the realization that the stu- dents who only a few years ago sat in class with their overcoats on, shivering over their texts with the hope that some day Pitt would be a great University, are now close to realizing their dreams. An understanding of the true feeling of being educated “above the clouds," is found in the first lecture hall to be com- pleted in the Cathedral, Room 132. Its bright spaciousness creates a feeling of expansion and freedom, eliminating the cloistered sensation of conventionally ap- pointed classrooms. In this room education finds its true aesthetic environment. (Continued Next Page) R.O.T.C. and student ushers at Stephen Fos- ter Memorial. Presenting Mrs. K. Miller, Commons Room hostess.

NEW QUARTERS IN Another graphic interpretation of how the Cathedral will look when it is com- pleted is found in the seventh and nine- teenth floors, finished this year. The calm, cool. serenity of the indirectly lighted blue- gray halls and corridors of the Fine Arts Department give a feeling of educational security. It is a great change to the swift moving atmosphere of the nineteenth floor where the blue, orange, and yellow decora- tions radiate the professional efliciency of the new ofiices of the Research Bureau of Retail Training. Although unfinished, the twelfth floor is being occupied by the Dean of Women’s oflices, the women’s lounge, and the wom- en’s lunch room. The Dean's oflice was moved this year from Heinz House, the wooden structure which has been the center of women's activities since the World War. A general exodus of other departments and classes to the Cathedral took place. Alumni Hall, former classroom building, was completely vacated and remodeled to accommodate Pitt's expanding chemistry department. Some Business Administra- THE CATHEDRAL tion offices which had been in State Hall were transferred to the eighteenth floor of the Cathedral. The vacancies made by these two departments were filled by one of the University's most progressive schools, the School of Engineering. To complete the centralization of all of Pitt’s branches, the ofllces of the Bureau of Busi- ness Research, the only organization of its kind in Western Pennsylvania and one of the outstanding business bureaus in the country, were removed from the cramped environs of the old brick house next to Falk Clinic into new spacious quarters in the Cathedral. This year the University’s great Medical Center, including Pittsburgh’s largest hos- pitals, research laboratories, and clinics, is being enlarged by the addition of the new Western Pennsylvania Psychiatric Hos- pital. The land for the hospital was pre- sented by the University to the state. As the old Y Hut stood on this ground it was necessary to raze it. Almost overnight, the Hut was dismantled and the foundation for the new hospital completed. The con- tractors plan to have the building open for use by the turn of the decade. 268 Chem specials’ private Sl"()I‘C I‘OOII1 . Books on art are avail- able in the libraries. PLANS FOR CULTURAL CENTER MADE When the Hut was torn down, the Ath- letic oflices, which were quartered there, had to be removed to the main pavilion of the Stadium. To complete the Medical Center's progress for the current year, the old Bureau of Business Research Building was converted into a home for the Falk Clinic nurses. Stephen Collins Foster Memorial was dedicated and opened to the general public and the student body for plays, concerts, and social gatherings. Fitting a surprising amount into such a small building, the Foster Memorial contains a large audi- torium, stage, and the Foster Shrine and museum, oflices of the Tuesday Musical Club, and a large ballroom. The Old Mellon Institute building, emptied by the removal of the Institute to its world famous new granite structure opposite the Cathedral, has been remod- eled and will be shared jointly by the Schools of Dentistry and Medicine. To provide more conveniences for the students on campus, a Tuck Shop was opened on the ground floor. With the two lounges, the men's on the eighth floor and the women’s on the twelfth, the Tuck Shop provides three eating places for the Exhibits of fine etch- ings are displayed by students. Modernly equipped laboratories aid the young scientist. 269 students in the Cathedral. The Evening School lounge in Room 144 offers a lunch counter and smoking room for the evening students. Another student service has been installed this year with the opening of the immense locker room on the ground floor. Continuing the Cathedral campus’ meta- morphosis, this year saw the completion of Heinz Chapel, with the installation of the stained glass windows. Pointing up- ward to a height equivalent to half the Cathedral, the spire of the Chapel was strengthened before these sixty foot win- dows, the world's tallest stained glass windows to be made in one frame were installed. Materially aiding in the upward climb by the development of the physical plant, Pitt has administratively moved forward by the addition of a new officer to the University, Provost Rufus Fitzgerald, who came here from the University of Iowa. The Provost acts in the capacity of a coordinating oflicer between the different schools of the University. Pitt has applied educational progress to its activities this year. The University gained national recognition when it en- dorsed a olic of deem hasis on inter- P Y P (Continued next Page) NEVV UNIVERSITY SEAL ADOPTED scholastic athletics, placing Pitt among the few universities ranking intramural activities as part of the educational pro- gram. Another activity gaining national recog- nition in the field of education was the Pitt Newt, which early joined the United States Public Health Services educational campaign against syphilis.

During February the Phi Beta Kappa Reception was held, where outstanding students of the University were privileged to meet Dr. William A.

With the adoption of a new school seal, the flame of the lantern of learning shines as brightly in miniature as does the real light of learning in our University. Mrs. R. C.

From the moment he assumed his duties of dean in 1904, the Dental school has grown in size and eminence, being recognized annually as a “Class A” institution by the Dental Educational Council of America, since that body began its rat- ings in 1918. Dean Friesell has long been a national figure among dental authorities. He founded the Ameri- can College of Dentists in 1920 and has served on numerous state, national and international com- mittees on dental research. He has found time to contribute widely to dental literature. His per- DEAN H- EDMUND FRIESELL sonal library contains a great number of almost priceless volumes, some of which were exhibited at the Century of Progress in 1933-34 by the Ameri- can Dental Association. Dean Friesell received his D.D.S. from the Uni- versity of Pennsylvania in 1895, but returned to Pittsburgh to take his B.S. here at the University in 1913. He was honored by Marquette University with an L.L.D. in 1920 and by the University of Pittsburgh in 1930 with a Sc.D. degree. UNIVERSITY DEANS ELMER ALLEN HOLBROOK DEAN ELMER ALLEN HOLBROOK DEAN OF THE SCHOOLS OF ENGINEERING AND MINES To all engineers and miners at Pitt, Dr. Elmer A. Holbrook is not only a capable clean, but a “real guy" as well. In him his students have found the sympathy and insight of a character mellowed by many years of academic and technical experience. Born of hardy New England stock, he began his studies at Massachusetts Institute of Technology, and received his degree in 1904. He began his teach- ing career at Nova Scotia Technical College; he moved to the University of Illinois in 1913 and con- tinued there until the outbreak of the World War. Dean Holbrook served as mine superintendent in Montana and British Columbia, and in 1933 he acted as technical advisor on coal for the N.R.A. Despite his many duties as dean, Dr. Holbrook has found time to write more than one hundred articles on mining subjects and engineering education. 24 Traditions We tap to membership Cherchez la femme And they call it registration Alma Mater Long Live the Queen Finis 276 Additions It’s “March” Time Awards for the Frosh Beaux Arts Come meet our Chancellor Blue Carnations Warming up Heinz House 277 The Co-ed Cutting that 8:30 class No pink tooth brush, Joan?

Biddle Mr. and Mrs. Robert Corley Mr. and Mrs. Robert D. Ayars FROSH ENTER SOCIAL WHIRL The Freshman Dance~Frosh debut into Pitt social life—to the tune of Tom Gentry and His Royal Ambassadors. With Leonard Edge as their chairman, the committee got off to a good start by booking the William Penn Hotel for the night of December third. Perhaps that super publicity- sponsoring auditions for frosh talent did it. The fact remains, the Freshies’ dance drew the biggest crowd of the year. Even the Freshmen in all their confidence were surprised as they collected stubs, stubs, and more stubs at the door. Bucknell charm was imported for the occasion with Miss Virginia Strawn on Chairman Edge’s arm, as the leading couple on the floor. Intermission,~then the Frosh Entertainment. First, Jerry Eisner, No. 1 campus crooner proved his reputation, then Adele Yorio came through with an interpretation of Ezveryéoa/fy Sing that would have made Judy Garland look to her laurels if she had been present. Bill Vaughen concluded the pro- gram,—and we'll let you draw the conclusions when we say he now has the lead for Pitt's Cap and Gown Show! December still found “The Big Apple” leading all dances and true to tradition, some tireless Frosh shouted “In the middle," and the war was on. They peeled and quartered, trucked to and fro, Suzy-Qued in the corners, kicked high and low. Seniors sagged into armchairs, Juniors headed for the seats, even Sophomores gave upwbut the Frosh still continued their “Truck on down"! But even the Freshmen go to bed sometime, and still fresh as a daisy, they rushed the elevator, and grabbed hats and coats, cracked upper-classmen on the shoulders—confident in the knowledge of their dance's great success.

Dripping umbrellas shielding dainty feminine attire dashed madly into the William Penn lobby, their masculine owners then joining the damp procession to the already jammed checkroom. White ties straightened and small noses powdered, Soph Hop couples then headed for the main ballroom. Chairman Pat Cusick and attractive Betty Fagan greeted each dancer and presented him with a program-his fair partner, with the silver bracelet favor, crested with the Uni- versity’s new seal. Latecomers then joined the other dancers gliding around the floor to the smoothness of Charles Pallos’ music. Followed tangoes, waltzes, and rhumbas, but even Big Apple enthusiasts hastened to gather round the mike when Fred Waring and his Pennsylvanians dropped in for a few minutes between performances at the Stanley, to harmonize on “We’re Working Our Way Through College". Then for about a half hour the dance became a “pep” rally for the Nebraska-Pitt game the next day. First Fred Waring, then Suth- erland and Goldberg, were cheered by the hilarious dancers, (much to the disgust of the bonfire enthu- siasts on Ruskin field whose excitement, along with the fire had been put out by the rain D. Lights dim- med again—while dancers swayed tirelessly to the band's sweet rhythm, murmuring comments on the band's smoothness, Fred Waring’s surprise per- formance and of the great success of the dance in general. All too soon, one o’clock rolled around, most couples slowly circling the floor, humming “Good Night, Sweetheart“,—the last dance of the Members included in picture are: Stark, Friday, Hoeveler night. But a few wise dancers slipped from the crowd and sought the checkroom~snuggled into their wraps and were on their way to Childs, be- fore the mob charged the checkrooms. Seated com- fortably, they had the laugh on the other prom trotters who came dashing in later, vainly searching for tables; yet all unanimously agreed that the first formal of the year had proved one great big success.

LEONARD O'CoNNELL C. LEONARD O’CONNELL DEAN OF THE SCHOOL OF PHARMACY In Dean C. Leonard O'Connell, an inquisitive and idealistic mind has sought expression in many complex endeavors. His whole life has been per- meated with an altruistic desire to help others. It is not strange that he interests himself studying in the field of scholastic philosophy. His idealism has fostered a sense of civic pride and justice, that has prompted him to assume the chairmanship of the Board of Managers of the juvenile Detention Home. His pharmaceutical vocation is never neglected, however, he frequently contributes articles to pro- fessional and trade publications and acted as co- author of “Pharmaceutical ]uris—prudence," a re- cently published work. Dean O'ConneIl's background is particularly ap- pealing since he is a Pittsburgh boy, receiving his Ph.G., A.B., Phar.D. from the University of Pitts- burgh in 1912, 1916, and 1929 respectively. He served as president of the Pittsburgh Pharmaceuti- cal Association from 1929-1931 and is an active member of several groups in his profession.

Posters appeared on bulletin boards, stories crept into the News, and 'twas rumored a Tech gal had made the grade and would lead the dance. All rumors—no such thing, for January 14th found the “annual" Flower Ball in full swing. Corsages of every color, type and description, were there—fro1n which each of the fair sex was to make her choice. Then ball favors of silver corsage pins bearing the Pitt seal topped each one—quite the tops,—oh, but just Flower Ball style. Unique pro- grams, small minatures of “Life" magazine, en- titled "Life goes to the Prom”, were handed each couple. The first pages featured single cuts or Chairman Bud Mayer and his Tech flame Hilda Boreman, the cuts of Business Manager Bob Dan- nies, and his partner Bobbie O’Donnell. Through- out the program ran stories and pictures of the various Prom committees, making it truly different from the usual type. But the main ball room proved a triumph in decorations. Delighted dancers found the walls covered with smilax and wax and crepe paper roses in crimson and gold, rich chrysanthe- mums in bronze, lemon yellow and russet. The gleaming satins and the lush velvets of the feminine Members included in picture are: Thomas, Kunkel, Boreman, Mayer, O'Donnell, Dannies, Bell Kelly, McClain, Webb, Poole, Hilsenrath, Smith, Adams, Helfgott, Wassel, Light Heape, Reilly, Mathias, Griffith, Stark, Markey, Williams, Barry, Sipe 287 dancers contrasting with the smart black and white of their escorts attire, the faint scent of the decora- tions, proved a worthy background for Bob Cros- by’s swing band. The success of the dance exceeded even the committees expectations for they ran out of both favors and programs by the middle of the evening. Bob Crosby was probably glad of the shortage, for he was kept busy signing programs all evening. Long before the evening was over it was quite evident that Pitt's “traditional Flower Ball" was here to stay.

Once again Pitt's beauty brought forth the most popular of Pitt “eds" to make their dance the tops. Chairman, Vivien Roberts, produced her fiance, Dick Bell (graduate of Prince- ton) to lead the Ball with her and swing along to the melodious accompaniment of the band. All the campus “big-shots" and activity leaders were present—wherher in tux or formal—to help make the evening an extra special one in fraternity tradi- tions. Lucky Pitt males not only enjoyed a dance without flattening the old pocket book, but strolled the campus with wide open coats for the next week ~better able to sport the good looking silver tie clasps created with the Panhel seal, even Esquire might envy. With self—satisfied smirks on their faces, they took pity on their less fortunate broth- ers, who hadn't rated a Ball bid, and spun many a yarn of the splendiferous eveningebeautiful gals and swell-elegant favors. Again Pitt “fems" brought forth off-campus escorts, as sweet a collec- Viv's Fiance, Dick Bell, Who Led the Ball with Her, came on by Plane from Milwaukee tion of male handsomeness as any feminine heart could desire—causing many a Pitt male to brush up on his accomplishments, and look to his laurels. Loitering in the corners, while waiting for fair partners to powder pert noses, and arrange dishev- eled locks, Ball escorts unanimously decided those weeks of playing stooge had been well worth their while, and made solemn resolutions for next year's behavior! 289 sh%%%ld INTERFRATERNITY BALL C/mirman . , . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .RAYMOND NORDSTROM BuJine.r.r Mamzzger . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .ANDREw MOFFATT COMMITTEE Bernard Cashdollar Robert Heape John Chickerneo James Kennedy Dante Dalle-Tezze Mel Levine Walter Evans Bernard Michaels Robert Forsyth jack Spear Marshall Goldberg _]ohn G.

Thirteen kites rep- resenting the fraternities in IF Council greeted frat men and their gals as they entered the ballroom of the William Penn. Decorated with spring flowers and sporting the various Greek symbols, the kites were apparently supported by march winds, at least we couldn’t see what held them up! Cleverly (and invisibly) joined together, they were all at- tached to the all-point silver trophy,——subtle indi- cation of each fraternity’s do or die race for the coveted trophy. The spring-like atmosphere was further accentuated by the soft glow of the indirect lighting~spraying the pastel gowns of IF sweet- hearts with rose, turquoise, and golden lights, as they swung along to Paul Pendarvis’ “absolutely the tops” band, featuring Eddie Scope as violinist. Ray N ordstrom receives our vote for the ideal ch air- man; perfect setting, superb music, beautiful girl (Elaine Fitzwilson), and there was actually room to dance! No foolin', we were only stepped on five times during the evening—in fact, toward the end of the evening, we actually found ourselves sneak- ing up on people to jar them—just to reassure our- selves we were at a Pitt dance! As for that orchestra ~well, we could rave forever on that score. But judge for yourself; soft music found the dancers so enthralled they even passed up old friends as they smoothly circled to and fro—not speaking, just How About the Second Dance, Elaine? enjoying. Then fast music—and believe it or not- the seats looked absolutely forlorn they were so deserted; you could actually dance to the fast music, and swing those IF'ers certainly did. Around each feminine neck glittered a dainty gold necklace, the seal so cut that it caught the light in little sparkles as it moved—IF favors. jammed into the elevators after the dance, a representative of each of the 13 houses, held his precious kite under his arm- (much to the other occupants’ discomfort)—souve- nir of a perfect floor, a perfect orchestraga perfect dance, this IF Ball. 91 FINANCE Chairman . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .WILLIAM B.

You’Ve guessed it—Wayne King was the super attraction, with Val Garvin to help him out. We chiseled our ticket from a ROTC frat brother like everyone else, and together with most of Pitt’s student body (at least it seemed that many) charged the William Penn “en masse.” The at- tendants gave one look at the approaching forma- tion and ran for cover—eVen the elevator boys hid in their cages.

An extra peek in her Vanity, a casual smoothing of his hair, and they joined the stream headed for the main ball room and Wayne King. Greeted at the door by Chairman Joseph Sobkoviak and the charming Betty Teal, each couple re- ceived a gold and white program and an object mysteriously wrapped in white tissue paper—the favor. Of course we couldn’t wait to open ours, so held up the rest of the line While we investigated, and found—a dainty white oblong compact crested with the military department's golden seal. Tuck- ing it safely away in their escort's pockets, eager dancers pressed into the main ballroom and looked with dismay at the jam session milling about the floor. No one could dance, so we joined the others in shifting from one foot to the other, while ab- sorbing Wayne King's specialties. For a breathing spell, we wiggled our way to the door, thinking Val Garvin’s room would at least permit us to draw a breath—but vain hope, the same mob scene met us at the door. Discouraged, we joined a mil- lion or two others in the balconies, where we could really appreciate the band's smoothness. Heading the year's dance list for possessing the biggest name band, the Military Ball undoubtedly was a big success. But please next year's chairman—how about two floors, instead of just the entire seven- teenth floor to accommodate that crowd? 293 Betty Adams Betty Biron Marion Briney Jean Calyer Mary Annette Campbell Mary Case Dorothy Davis Alice Marie Day Patsy Dean Patricia Elmer Betty Feick Glenda Fitch Evelyn Goldsmith Patsy Griffith HEART HOP Chairman . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .IRENE MARONEY Bminerr Manager . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .EDITH BART Mary Jane Gross Ruth Hilsenrath Mary Kaufman Jane Key Grace Kovac Edith McCormick Florence Nydes Catherine Park Gene Pyle Ethel Shrom Margaret Sprecher Lenore Steele Jane Ulrich Ann Whippo Mary Grace Winnett CHAPERONES Dr. Dr. and Mrs. Manuel Elmer and Mrs. John Geise Members included in picture are: McCormick, Nydes, Shrom, Sprechcr, Whippo, Steele, Means, Case, Fogle, Bart, Maroney, Adams, Elmer, Winnett, Hilsenrath, Pyle, Gross, Briney, Campbell, Nugent, Griffith, Park, Ulrich, Culver, Day 294 COEDS IMPORT DATES FOR HEART HOP Plenty of Pitt males were "burned up” when Pitt co-eds imported dates for the Heart H0p—but remember that boys when you're date hunting for the next ball! Our congrats to Pat Elmer for the best decorations in Heart Hop traditions. Fluted crimson and white streamers criss-crossed the Schenley Ball Room, meeting in the center to form a huge red heart. Red hearts dotted the huge mir- rors on the wall, which reflected the rosy pink and sapphire blue lights from the corners. A peppy cupid poised for action on the white background of the orchestra drop, with multitudinous hearts covering the orchestra stands. Dainty co-eds in fluttering chiffons and nets flitting by on strong masculine arms, to the tune of Len Mahlvern's mel- odies. Couples sauntering through the hotel lobby, others resting in the armchairs of the Lounge dur- ing intermissions—waiting only for the first strains of the orchestra before flocking back to the dance floor. Typical scenes of the traditional Heart Hop —Pitt's opportunity for female beauties to do the asking—typical too for its astonishing number of handsome males, not usually decorating Pitt's dances! Irene Maroney, chairman of the affair, was es- corted by her captain, Jack With.um, adding the final touch to the Hop's perfection. Wandering “You Certainly Put Over This Hop, Irene.” into the corridor for a cup of ice water, we met all the fraternity sisters, and welcomed the chaperones before heading for the Box to meet further acquaint- ances. And there he was, holding up the Box, but he joined us while we sipped our fruit lemonades— related his tale of woe of being “stood up" by his best girl for an imported “high wide and good looker." We patted his hand, exchanged winks and once more headed for the mob scene, agreeing '38's Heart Hop beat all others by a mile, and feel- ing quite smug since we had helped rack up the decorations.

Rang- ing down through the adminis- trative management from the Chancellor and the Provost through the schools, activities finally center in the departments, each of which represents a par- ticular field of study. The depart- ments, however, are not the definite division of knowledge in- to specific fields, for many depart- ments are inter~dependent, and many are in turn subdivided in interest and activity. As a result, certain departments fall into natural groupings, and these groupings provide the fun- damental divisions of knowledge; the social sciences, the natural sciences, and the humanities, are all represented in the average course required for graduation.

Everyone including the newest of new Cwens to the oldest of old O.D.K.'s were swingin' and posin’ at Steve Rooney's "spring swing". The Continental Room of the Hotel Schenley was the scene of the Spring Festival festivities and gay red, blue, and green lanterns lighted the outdoor terrace for dancers. Convenient dark nooks and corners on the Schen- ley lawn added to the attractions for the socialites. In the shadow of the Cathedral, tappees celebrated the climax of the week's activities by offering con- gratulations to each other and receiving them from other BM&WOC, big men and women on campus. All the Phi Kaps were there in best bib and tucker to help Brother Steve put the affair over and you can be sure they did. Lovely Rita Catherman reigned as queen of the evening with Chairman Rooney as king for the night. Romance was in the air and Spring Festival enthusiasts took advantage of their one and only’s weak moments. This was “the" evening for the coeds to show off their Easter bonnets and spring frocks, while the male l\Iay I Help You With Your Coat, Rita? (Must Be Spring Fever, Rooney) element managed to look like models from the fashion plates of E.rqui1‘e. Bright nosegays added that certain something to the coeds’ outfits with violets predominating as the favorite posies. Committee members worked feverishly arrang- ing the decorations so that everything would be "spring festivalish" and a real spring atmosphere was achieved. 297 A WORLD APART . . . a university, shaping the lives of impressionistic youths.

The physics department, under the direction of Doctor Oswald Blackwood, and the mathematics department, un- der the fine leadership of Mr. K. D. Swartzel, have been doing more than their share in keeping Pitt at the top in all the sciences. Seldom recognized as such, but also a part of the University's natural science department, the Allegheny Observatory is among the foremost astronomical re- search institutions. Under the leadership of Doctors Frank jot- dan and Keivin Burns, the Ob- servatory is constantly mapping more of the sky with its thirty- inch photographic refractor, the largest of its type in the world. In the field of languages, Pitt's English department under Mr. Percival Hunt, has earned the reputation of having one of the 28 best Freshman English courses to be found in the country. The Modern Language Department, under Doctor Whitford H. Shel- ton, includes French, German, Spanish and Italian. Lately installed in lavish stu- dios on the seventh floor of the Cathedral, the Fine Arts Depart- ment does work which is entirely in keeping with its physical en- vironment. Mr. Walter Hovey has been doing laudable work as acting head of this department. The work of the music depart- ment, under Mr. Theodore Finney has been given generous praise and encouragement by music critics. Recitals, concerts and music at University gatherings is the best evidence of the proficiency and popularity of the Glee Club, the band and the orchestra.

PITTSBURGH Iohnstown Youngstown R A D1 0 316 a light bulb worth pennies 0 0 0 apparatus TO MAKE a thing as it is 111ade just now, and to keep on making it the same way, is not specially difficult. But no matter what you buy—a light bulb worth pennies or x-ray apparatus—you expect it to be just a little better each year, to get a little more for your money, greater value. We are not standing still. If we did, we'd die of dry-rot. 0 But there are always cross-roads and detours, particularly in a fairly new science where every step is an explo- ration. To get back each time on the road heading forward takes experience, resources, courage. Which is the reason why Westing- house makes x-ray equipment. 0 Having those essential qualifica- tions, it would not be true to the confidence you place in it, if Westinghouse did not put them to work to find ways of making x-ray apparatus better each year, which gives you more for your money, greater value. And in doing so, to help you serve the sick better, to be of greater value to your community and to contribute more to the health of America. Westinghouse X-liay Company, Inc., Long Island City, N.

The doctor can ask his own questions, and make his own decision about using the product, but not only has he saved himself a vast amount of time but he has derived the benefit of a fearless, expert, fact-finding body whose sole purpose is to protect him and his patient. No one physician, even if he were qualified, could afford to devote so much time and study to every new product. His Council renders this service for him, freely. Nowhere else in the world is there a group that performs the functions so ably served by the Council on Pharmacy and Chemistry and the Council on Foods. Mead Johnson & Company cooperates with both Councils, not because we have to but because! we want to. Our detail men can always answer you, “Yes, this Mead Product is Council-Accepted."

OMMENCEMENT DAY will be one of the proudest moments in your life. For on this day you will stand on the threshold of a new career and dedicate your life’s work to a noble and humanitarian cause . . . the practice of dentistry. Another proud moment will be when you open your first office and welcome your first patients. And here is the moment when your professional reputation will be established. Even before you have an opportunity to say, “Open wide, please,” these “first” patients will be forming definite opinions about you . . . opinions that will be based on two things . . . First, the appearance of your ofiice and secondly, your Personality and outward expression of faith in your chosen Profession. With 87% of “first impressions” being lasting ones, it is important therefore that you give careful considera- tion to your oflice surroundings, especially your operating room equipment. Patients expect and demand modern dentistry in clean, modern surroundings today, and most of them will seek out dentists who can measure up to these requirements. So, don't run the risk of condemning your practice to mediocrity or failure when it is so easy to “set the stage” for a successful career with the equipment that has helped so many young dentists off to a successful start. WEBER Equipment is modernly designed and built to give lifetime service and satisfaction, yet priced so as to be within the limits of even the most modest equipment budget. There is a Weber Equipment assembly to meet every Purse and Purpose. WEBER Equipment is sold, guaranteed and serviced by selected, “first-line” dealers everywhere.

WILLIAM ROOT Head of the Department af P53/chology aha’ Graduate Dean Heading a list of departments known collectively as the Hu- manities is Sociology. This divi- sion of the University, under the direction of Doctor M. C. Elmer, has been of great service to the community by frequently working in conjunction with the Pitts- burgh Chamber of Commerce when any sort of census or other ofhcial survey was made. The graduate courses in Sociology work go hand in hand with the Buhl Foundation, for the better- ment of Pittsburgh life. Another highly important section of the Humanities are the courses in Psy- chology. Experimental work done here by the advanced stu- DR. OMAR C. HELD Arrirtant Dean of the College dents under Doctors Florence Tea- garden and William Root in the study of reactions of children to various stimuli has achieved na- tional recognition. The depart- ment conducts Psychology Forums for all those taking the courses. The History Department under the direction of Doctor John Geise, has been making rapid prog- ress during the past year, in keep- ing with the general trend in all divisions of the University. The fields of Economics and Political science are highly important be- cause of their investigation of the various governmental changes taking place the world over. Sponsoring the bureau of Business Research, at the University are the departments of Accounting, Commercial Education, and Busi- ness Law. The bureau is constant- ly watching the business level and trading activity in this locality in an attempt to assist the business houses with their problems. Achieving wider recognition than the University of which they are a part, the members of our faculty have earned not only the respect of noted educators in simi- lar fields all over the nation, but the high regard of their own stu- dents as well. Their character, integrity and high ideals are as much a part of their reputation to us as their greatest academic achievements. 29 DR.

I i l Nearly all colleges and universities en- courage the development of active alumni organizations, for they know the value of alumni good will and support. The need for close and understanding co-operation between an educational institution and its graduates has been demonstrated so often and in so many ways that, viewed objec- tively, the cultivation of effective alumni relations is just good business. It is good business, too, for the alumni because they benefit accordingly if their constructive ef- forts contribute to the development of the school and increase its prestige. A college degree is no better than the institution that grants that degree. The General Alumni Association is an GENERAL ALUMNI In the Front Row at the Smoker are: Chancellor John G. Bowman, Holgar Johnson, Member of the Board of Trustees, Evening Division Director. and J. Lloyd Mahony, organization—and the only organization— that represents more than 20,000 graduates of the various schools of the University. The object of the Association, as stated in its constitution, is “to promote the welfare and interests of the University of Pitts- burgh and its alumni, to foster close co- operation between alumni and the Univer- sity, and to support and advance the cause of higher education. The Association keeps its members in- formed about University and alumni af- fairs; it promotes the friendships and asso- ciations of student days; it seeks to protect the interests of the University and of its faculty, students, and alumni. The Asso- ciation, with more than 4,000 members, Homecoming Smoker at Hotel Schenley Ballroom 32 ASSOCIATION NORMAN MACLEOD Prexidenr has become a powerful, constructive civic force. Members of the General Alumni Asso- ciation automatically become members of the Constituent alumni association repre- senting the school from which they were graduated. There are nine such constituent associations—Alumnae, Business Adminis- tration, The College, Dentistry, Education and Graduate, Engineering and Mines, Law, Medicine, and Pharmacy. The governing body of the General Alumni Association is Alumni Council. The Council consists of three elected dele- gates from each of the constituent associa- tions, elected delegates from qualified Pitt Clubs, and the elected ofiicers of the Gen- eral Alumni Association. Members of the Alumni Council are appointed to one or more of the following committees: Ways and means, finance, alumni publications, program, relations with undergraduates, alumni education, membership, publicity, alumni fund, executive, constitution and by-laws, alumni headquarters, relations with constituent associations andclubs, and alumni homecoming.

SAUNDERS In populous centers Pitt Clubs are char- tered by Alumni Council to hold regular meetings and to work in the interest of the University. The oldest of these Clubs was formed in 1914. Clubs are now active or are in the process of organization in Beaver County, Blair County, Chicago, Connells— ville, Erie, Harrisburg, Indiana County, Lackawanna County, Lehigh Valley, Mc- Kean County, McKeesport, Mercer, New jersey, New York, Philadelphia, Southern California, Westmoreland County, and Youngstown. The Association sponsors a number of social events, including the Homecoming Smoker, the Charter Day Ball, and the Alumni Day program during Commence- ment Week. The constituent school asso- ciations have their own programs and meet frequently during the year. The oflfical publication of the General Alumni Association, the Alumni Review, an illustrated news magazine, is published nine times a year. The Men’s Placement Bureau co-operates with the Alumni Association in placing alumni in touch with prospective em- ployers. \ At the Banquet Beginning the Alumni Membership Campaign Miss McLaughlin and Miss Rush, assistant deans of women, chatting in the Commons Room. Perched high on Alumni hillside, for eighteen years, Heinz House has been the center of all women's activities at Pitt. The attractive offices of the Dean of Women were formerly found here, together with a spacious kitchen and reception room, ruled over by the much beloved Mrs. Foster. In 1938 the offices of the Dean of Women moved to the twelfth floor of the Cathedral of Learn- ing. Yet Heinz House still represents the real atmosphere of Pitt to the daughters of the Uni- versity, for here, grouped around the huge fireplace —sipping tea and munching cookies—true friend- ships are made and confidences exchanged. Dean Thyrsa W. Amos successfully personalizes education for every woman of the University— from the bewildered freshman to the distinctive senior/by providing opportunities for each girl to develop her personality through a variety of new experiences. Miss Amos was the first to introduce the freshman mentor system now adopted by many other colleges, which orients the freshman girl to the “newness” of Pitt. Under the guidance of a senior woman's personal knowledge and experience the newcomer learns to acquire poise and dignity. Dean Amos shares the responsibility and work of the department with her competent assistants, Miss Helen Pool Rush and Miss Mary Frances McLaugh- lin. Miss Rush supervises the extra-curricular activities for women, while Miss McLaughlin deals largely with part time employment and housing. 34 PERSONNEL OFFICE OF THE DEAN or WOMEN Seated in front of the Heinz House fireplace are Miss Scott and Miss Quill, receptionists of the office of the Dean of Women. Welcoming all students to Heinz House, staff aides, Miss Jane Scott and Miss Grace Quil, arrange all appointments with staff members and are in charge of the secretarial work of the office. The entire stafl” strives to round out the education of each woman of the University so that, as each graduate receives her degree, she may set out upon her career, serene in the knowledge that she is adequately prepared both intellectually and socially to face the problems of life. problems; he is attentive and sympathetic toward new ambitions, and is ever ready to give advice to his students. His assistants, Mr. Theodore Biddle and Mr. Robert Corley, may be found early and late guiding the student activities with certain and untiring hands. Mr. Biddle’s time is taken in super- vising the work of the OwL, Cap and Gown, Men's Glee Club, Demonstration Block, and other campus activities. Meanwhile, Mr. Corley looks after men’s housing and the destinies of the thirteen Greek fraternities. The Men's Customs Program, OFFICE which has been greatly expanded under his capable supervision, is a well-rounded method of orienting Freshmen men to their new University environment. DEAN OF MEN Recently added to 8095 staff, Mr. E. B. Williams occupies an important place as the director of the Student Placement Bureau. Through this office, engineers, bizads, and students of the college meet prospective employers and make excellent contacts for positions after graduation. Behind the scenes of the Dean of Men’s oflice, Miss Alice Beatty, Mrs. Cubbison and Miss Thelma Harrison continue to dispose of the routine work. Their cordial greeting makes all newcomers welcome, and has established the office as a source of friendly cooperation to the University. OF THE Aiding Dean Lanfear are Mr. Williams, Mr. Corley, and Mr. Biddle, who are pictured in conference. Miss Harrison, Miss Beatty, and Mrs. Cubbison are the ideal secretaries in the oflice of the Dean of Men. Pitt men never hesitate at the door marked "809 Oflice of the Dean of Men,” for here they have found a group of friends who are understanding and helpful. in every kind of difficulty. Planning and coordinating the many functions that lend color and meaning to the training of Pitt men makes the oflice the hub of student activity. Notwithstanding the demands of his own heavy schedule, Dean Vincent W. Lanfear makes himself available to Pitt men. He is anxious to hear their r'-1'nr -j r;r "-: -t'-$ ~p -~ n,--Yr r-tf C FOUR YEARS of work in labs, over texts of physics, chemistry and economics, four years of fraternities, proms and meetings complete the tradition of the class of 1938.

Just Frosh Dazed by the confusion of their first few months at Pitt, two frosh of the class of '38 got off in a corner one day and began to com- pare notes. Freshman Jack proudly exhibited his bronze panther pin, proof that he had passed his orientation exam. In turn, Fresh- man Jill flaunted her gold and blue armband, having finally discarded the green one. Eager- ly explaining the mysteries of freshman camp, the boy went on to describe the banquet given the freshman men. Not to be outdone, the freshman girl vividly described her experience of being introduced to Pitt’s campus by Pa Pitt at the Lantern Night ceremony. Classes changed—so hastily exchanging goodbyes, they raced off to different classes. Through- out the year, Jack and Jill met and compared notes until one day, they sought the usual corner, and noting each others pledge pins, were soon in the midst of a hilarious exchange of rushing experiences. Snickering at the remembrance, Jack described his astonish- ment at the sudden transformation of superior upperclassmen into all around good fellows who slapped one on the back and urged ac- ceptance of their invitation to lunch at the house. Jill recalled her rushing, four hectic days of fun—then carelessly reminded the boy that hers was the first freshman class to walk off with the much coveted interclass sing cup. Hastily changing the subject, Jack reminded her that they would soon be answering the roll call as nonchalant sophomores. Tapped to Cwens, sophomore honorary, Jill attended the tea dances with Jack, now proud wearer of the Druid skull and dagger. An aide for the Cwen High Tea for freshman women, Jill found herself wondering if she had ever been as naive, but forgot this, completely absorbed in inveigling Jack into trusting her with his tux for the Co-ed Prom. Safely pinned into her borrowed male attire, Jill escorted her freshman “date" to the affair with all the usual masculine flourishes. Meanwhile Jack struggled with his ROTC uniform, managed to pass drill, and actually was tapped to Pitt Rifles—at last able to supply Jill with those fascinating gold Pitt pins for which she was continually hinting. Jack and Jill dabbled in all three publications— the Owl, the Pin‘ Newt, and the Pam‘/aer—and thus managed to get in on the Publications Banquet, there receiving their full share of puns and wise cracks. Participating in the political jam session preceding spring elections, Jack and Jill were both elected to SFA and found themselves on the Appointments Committee. As light hearted Juniors, gaily parked behind booth counters during Carnival Night, Jack and Jill entered into the Spring Festival spirit. On Play Day, first Jill screamed encouragement from the sidelines while Jack pedalled madly down the hill in the sweepstakes—then he in turn applauded Jill as her exhibit passed in the fraternity float parade. In charge of the traditional Emerald Luncheon for Junior women, Jill bustled busily about preparing for a capacity crowd, all the time mentally gloating over Jack that her class was the first to boast a woman cloairmaa of the Junior Prom. A few weeks before summer vacation, squeezed in beside Jack at Spring Tapping Ceremony, Jill sat shivering with 39 Active Juniors excitement as she watched the awarding of the Junior Spoon. But the real thrill came when Jack was tapped ODK while Jill was chosen Mortar Board. As Jack and Jill started for home, a final glimpse of the Cathedral reminded them that next fall they would be dignified Seniors. Back from Engineers Camp, Jack collected Jill and started for Senior registration and their last year at Pitt. Strange to say, neither felt a bit more serious than they had as giddy Freshmen, but well concealed this under Senior sophistication. Activi- ties now left no time for brooding;Jack was chosen Captain of his Battery, with Jill smartly swinging her blue and gold cape as she marched beside him at drill, his Co-ed Captain. Semester exams over, Jack and Jill watched the ceremony of crowning the Senior Queen, then tramped down to the Cathedral to collect their OwL, debating who had made Hall of Fame. Seizing the book eagerly, they exclaimed in delight for there they Were, the pictured images of Jack and Jill smiling at each other from opposite pages. Graduation——clutching close her own diploma, Jill swallowed furiously at the lump in her throat as she watched Jack receive his; yet a few minutes later, cap and gowns jauntily disarranged, they breezed down Stadium Hill, the Jacks and Jills of the class of ’38.

HARKINS Members included in picture are: Brown, Moore, Harkins, Schechter, Archer, Ratowsky The “Dents" have always been known as the most unified and loyal school on campus, and this enviable reputation is due in great part to the lnterfraternity Coun- cil. The group is composed of six members representing the three Dental fraternities ~Psi Omega, Delta Sigma Delta, and Alpha Omega. The Council meets at regu- lar intervals to further amiable relations among the three organizations, and par- ticularly to set up rushing rules which functioned to everyone’s satisfaction this year. The Council sponsored the first dance of the year just before Christmas vacation. Fred Archer, John Harkins and Simpson Schechter served as co-chairman of the affair which was held at the William Penn 73 Hotel with Len Mahlvern supplying the music. It was a typical Dental success, highlighted by the rare experience of hav- ing some engineers in the crowd. The customary spirited tournaments on the basketball court and bowling allies, held sway throughout the year. The practice started last year of honor- ing a member of the faculty, when Dr. T. F. McBride was chosen, will be continued this year when the annual banquet is held in May. Those men who received keys this year were: Simpson Schechter—Alpha Omega; Fred Archer—Delta Sigma Delta; Oren Mo0re~Delta Sigma Delta; William Ra- towsky—Alpha Omega; and Ralph Berk- heimer~—Psi Omega. DENTAL RAYS The students, past and present, of the School of Dentistry have developed their official publication, Dental Rd}/J, into a literary bond between undergraduates and Alumni. The old grads derive a great deal of enjoyment from the enthusiasm of the young “Dents" while the students them- selves can benefit from the advice and expe- rience of the alumni. The student editor for the past year was E. Ernest Rose, Jr., who also fulfills the duties of President of S.F.A. The publication is helpful not only in fostering an optimistic outlook in the Dental profession, but in serving as an educational medium for the latest develop- ments and discoveries in the field of Dental Research. Dental Ray; provides a common meeting ground for scattered graduates and Members included in P,-Cmrc arc: many a warm friendship is kept alive Fleishman, Rose through its news columns. Gafinc-V’ widncy Flecker The editors have made it a practice to select some important element of dental practice each year, and to treat it thor- oughly for the benefit and education of all its readers.

WISE Members included in picture are: Silverman, Ratowsky, Schechter, Block, Lichter Davis, Bernstein, Polk, Rossner, Feldman Banqueting seems to be the favorite Alpha Omega activity, judging from the number of times these Dents donned bibs and tuckers and made the headlines. Prominent men honored at banquets this year by the fraternity were Dr. Isadore Hirshfield and Dr. Sidney Sorriss. Both, members of Alpha Omega, gave clinics to the Dental Society and have achieved repu- tations as philanthropists. Early in October, the local group was host to the Supreme National Council of Alpha Omega. The affair, a banquet and meeting, was held at the William Penn Hotel. According to Simpson Schecter, presi- dent of the local AO's, his trip as repre- 75 sentative to the National Convention in Chicago, was indeed worthwhile. Closing the AO social season was the annual Spring Formal at the William Penn Hotel. Dr. Issac Schower of Chicago made the trip East to be guest speaker at this affair held during May. The Omicron Chapter of Alpha Omega was established on the campus eighteen years ago by a group of local dentists headed by Dr. Albert 1. Wise, present Praetor of the chapter. The aims of the Alpha Omegas are to foster social recreation, to sponsor profes- sional and intellectual achievement, and to make college dental training a signifi- cant force in the lives of graduates.

LAWSON Not to be outdone by the other fraterni- ties from Dent Hill, the Delta Sigs are plan- ning a mammoth Spring Formal, to be held early in June at a Pittsburgh Country Club. Perhaps their most important event of the last year was the Alumni Banquet held last December. Delta Sig alumni from miles around tacked up their “out to lunch" signs and hurried to Hotel Roose- velt where their actives were hosts for the evening. Athletics take a large part of the Delta Sig's time during the year. Under the sponsorship of the Dental I-F Council, volleyball, basketball, football, and bowl- ing come and go with the seasons. 76 Delta Sigma Delta, a national profes- sional dental fraternity, dates back to 1882 where the first chapter, Alpha, was found- ed at the University of Michigan. The local chapter, Sigma, settled on campus in 1903 with twelve charter members. Today Delta Sigma Delta has risen to the top in the dental world. The aim of the frater- nity is to hold high the standards of den- tistry by inculcating in the minds of dental students and of dental practitioners a spirit of fraternal cooperation towards scientific, ethical, and professional progress. A poli- cy of the local group is to provide personal relationships with practising dentists of Western Pennsylvania, thus providing valuable practical contacts for the future. 5:’ 36k&t3§15LC 77 PSI OMEGA The Dents are noted for their activity and liveliness and the Psi Omega boys, by no means, lack these qualities. Although a national professional dental fraternity, Psi Omega ranks its Spring Formal as the top place in the year’s activity list. Usually held at a Pittsburgh country club, the fellows throw off their white coats and lay aside their drills en masse when the month of May comes around. Leading the trek to the Formal this year is John Harkins, Grand Master of the fraternity. Harkins, a member of the Dental Student Council, will, according to his dent brothers, import a girl from Washington. Grand Mzzrter . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . ,JOHN F.

Secretly suspected of being a married man is Bob Gerrety, pole Vaulter deluxe and chairman of Senior Announcements committee. Holding down a couple more presi- dencies for the house is Charles Davis, senior class head and Dental Student Coun- cil prexy. Psi Omega, which aims to promote the social qualities and abilities of its members as well as to contribute to the general advancement of the dental profession, has the distinction of being the oldest of the dental fraternities on the campus. 78 :2».A.- Tuna’.-2: 1*? _ u ova 5 «guns. 79 Fred Archer John D.
