C(.A6147G7 The Reverend Timothy Alden founder and first president of allegheny college William McKinley twenty-fifth president of the united states WILLIAM McKINLEY A son of Old Allegheny In September 1860, William McKinley accompanied by a boyhood chum, William M. Osborne, later consul-general at London, journeyed by stage from his home in Poland, Ohio, to Meadville, and entered Allegheny College, intending to com- plete the regular four years course of study. However, before he could resume his second year's work the Civil War came, and thereby abruptly ending his college training, as it did that ol many other young men, and at its close he entered upon the study of law without further college preparation. Through- out his busy career he manifested his loyalty and devotion to the college and several young men were directed to Allegheny through the influence of William McKinley. When Governor of Ohio, he returned to Allegheny to de- liver the commencement address in June 189 5, accom.panied by Mrs. McKinley. The degree of Doctor of Laws was con- ferred upon him, and he revisited old Bentley Hall where he had attended classes thirty-live yaers before. On September 25th, 1896, one hundred students and sev- eral of the faculty made a pilgrimage to his home in Canton to extend greetings in the midst of his campaign. They went by a special train that was gaily decorated with the college colors. Five years later, on that fateful September night when the tragic news came from Buffalo, President Crawford made his way to the old belfry in Bentley Hall, and in the stillness of the midnight hour, the tolling of the bell that forty years be- fore had summoned William McKinley, as a lad, to classes and chapel, solemnly announced to the anxious college and city the close of his earthly career.

PRESIDENT OF ALLEGHENY COLLEGE. 1921— ALLEGHENY COLLEGE As a college with one hundred five years of history back of it, Allegheny is in possession of a body of tradition which gives it a unique position among the colleges of this region. A large Alumni Association, showing increasing interest in the college and loyalty to its academic standards, gives the col- lege a position of great advantage in a large number of cen- ters of population which are sending students to college to- day. The success of Allegheny students in all vocations is a matter of pride to the old college. Allegheny has always held firmly to a definite educational aim and policy. There have been no periods of great d&pression, no times of spasmodic growth, but for one hundred five years the college has gone forward steadily increasing in power. The close of the first century of the college showed a total of assets of over two and one-half million dollars. The opening of the second century of the college witnesses the beginning of a strong effort to add a million and a quarter to the permanent re- sources of the institution. To this enterprise the trustees, the alumni, the student body and all the friends of Allegheny are giving their best efforts. With the successful accomplish- ment of this end the college will be firmly established in the very front rank of the best and most favorably known colleges of medium size of America. It is not the purpose to increase the enrollment of the student body for the present, but rather to increase the equipment and reinforce the teaching staff, and to build u.p more thoroughly the libraries and labora- tories of the college. ^y%/&^^ President. ^chiratcb to our logal alumiti, nnh tljs generous beuefactors of ^llegl|eu^ Ololkge Preface In gathering together the material for a handbooic of Alle- gheny College our purpose has not been to compile a history of the college, for that has already been done, but to gather together the main facts of interest, and to place them before the reader in such a way that they may be found quickly and conveniently; secondly, to present to the college, the alumni and the high school libraries, a source from which all ques- tions .pertaining to Allegheny College can be answered with clearness and satisfaction; thirdly, to give Allegheny College greater publicity. A considerable amount of the material for the book has been secured through the co-operation of members of the stu- dent body and the secretaries of the various organizations. In- valuable advice and assistance has been given by Miss Edith Rowley, '05, and Dr. Stanley S. Swartley. Prof. C. F. Ross and Dr. W. A. Elliott have given aid in authenticating the book. The assistance given by the alumni has been greatly appreciated, particularly that of Mr. Don M. Larrabee, of Wil- liamsport. Pa.

They were the first settlers of Crawford county, and the founders of the City of Meadville. On the next day a log hut was built. Some of the settlers moved on, but David Meade remained and with a few others, built a log block-house as a protection from the Indians. That fall, David and John Mead brought their fam- ilies from Northumberland. By the end of the century, the nucleus formed by David Mead and his companions had grown into a live village. In I8l5 Allegheny College was founded. By 1830 the population of Mead settlement had reached 1,104. By 1875, Meadville was joined to the outside world by a plank road, canal and railroad. Mills, factories, and business houses were established. Industry in general had increased by leaps and bounds. The population of the city had passed the 10,000 mark by 1890, and by 1920, it had increased to 15,000 in- habitants. Allegheny College had realized a more startling growth than the city. From a mere handful of students under Presi- dent Alden in 1820, it now numbers five hundred. The atti- tude of the townspeople toward the students has always been friendly and encouraging. Church receptions given at the opening of the fall term tend to draw even a closer bond be- tween the town and the college. The city now possesses seventeen churches of all denomina- tions, Allegheny College, the Meadville Theological School, the Meadville Commercial College, the Pennsylvania College of Music and a good public school system. From the very first, Meadville has possessed an unusually high percentage of citizens of scholarly attainments. It maintains a well equip.ped free public library, two daily ?.nd one weekly newspaper; two hospitals, the City Hospital and the Spencer Hospital (Roman Catholic); and an Odd Fel- lows Orphanage, supported by the Odd Fellows order. Two railroads, the Erie and the Bessemer serve the city and the i8 OLD ALLEGHENY Northwestern Electric Railway connects with the New York Central at Erie and the Pennsylvania at Linesville. The same trolley com-pany maintains the street railway system of the city. There are a number of good hotels, an opera house, several amusement houses, two national banks and a trust company, a new state armory, an excellent city water works, with artesian wells, a complete system of sewerage, electric and gas lighting and heating, and an unusually well equipped fire department. A business men's exchange and a Chamber of Commerce regulate the business interests. The city, long honored as the county seat of Crawford county, possesses one of the finest court houses in the state of Pennsylvania. The business men of the city are loyal supporters of the college and the college community generously patronizes Meadville merchants. Meadville is in many res-pects an ideal college town. ^ I Chronology of Allegheny College PART I "WTien I take the honor of a thing once, I am like your tailor's needle— I go through."— Ben Johnson We are told, the word "Allegheny" •• means "the great war path," in the language of the Seneca Indian. To the stu- dent of geography, and the American people generally, the word suggests a great river and river basin, tributary to the Mississippi; but to us, the sons and daughters of Allegheny College, it means something far more dear than any of these, it means. Alma Mater, the college we love, and to those who know of the struggle of the early founder, and the men who have slowly and patiently raised the college to its present pinnacle cf success, it is the embodiment of determination, courage, sacrifice, and love. 1815, June 20 — At a town meeting of citizens held at the old leg Court House in Meadville, and .presided over by Major Roger Alden, it was "Resolved, that an Association should be formed for the purpose of establishing a collegiate institution at Meadville to be called Allegheny College, of which Rev. Timothy Alden should be President, and Professor of Oriental Languages; and Rev. Robert Johnson should be Vice-president and Professor of Logic, Metaphysics, and Ethics". The seminary to be named "Allegheny College" after the Allegheny river which supplies such a broad and extensive valley with water. So it was that in the year of 181 5, Timothy Alden decided tc yield to his desires, his spirit of altruism, and his thirst for righteous adventure, and started for New York on February l5. A very circuitous route was necessary, through Virginia to Pittsburgh, from which point he made his way up the Alle- gheny and Venango rivers in a flat boat, landing at Meadville April 24, 181S. * The name was spelled "Alleghany" in the early years of the college. 20 OLD ALLEGHENY Timothy Alden was a graduate from Harvard University, likewise his father and grandfather. For some time after his graduation, he remained a resident graduate, at the same time keeping a school at Marblehead, where he kept up his minis- terial duties. He later became principal of private schools at Newark, N. J., Portsmouth, N. H., and New York City, being also assistant pastor of the Portsmouth Presbyterian church, and librarian of the Massachusetts Historical Society. Rever- end Alden gained considerable note as a linguist, and anti- quarian. He was closely associated throughout his life with Isaiah Thomas and William Bentley. When the call came to Reverend Alden to lead in the founding of the third college west of the Allegheny mountains, to surmount the dangers and overcome the ditllculties of the long troublesome journey, he did not hesitate. His object in coming, he said was to "devote his life to religion, literature, and science, and to found a college that should be a blessing to many yet unborn". Meadville seemed a very unsuitable place for such a pur- pose, with scarcely enough land cleared to supply the families of a few hundred inhabitants with a bare living. It was but a little village scattered among the trees of the wilderness. From the very first however, Meadville contained an unusually high percentage of men who were greatly interested in the progress of education. 1815, August 20 — At a meeting of the "Associators" held in the Meadville Academy, it was "Resolved, that Rev. Timothy Alden, President, should be authorized to solicit benefactions for the benefit of the institution". In pursuance of that object, he canvassed the states of Massachusetts, Rhode Island, New York, New Jersey and Pennsylvania. His success was marked — the first contribution on the list was a gift of ^30 from ex-President John Adams. In all, ^4,- 103.30 was raised. Of this amount $2,000 was in lands, $1,- 642.26 in books, and $461.04 in cash. In addition to this sum, $5,685 was raised in Meadville for the project. 1816, July 4 — The first freshmen class was to enter Alle- gheny College as "Probationers". July 6 — The first edition of the "Allegheny Magazine", OLD ALLEGHENY 21 published by Dr. Alden, made its appearance. In all, twelve numbers were published during 1816-17. 1817, March 24 — Allegheny College was incorporated by an Act of the Legislature of Pennsylvania, and a Board of Trustees composed of fifty members was appointed, of which the governor, chief justice, and attorney general of the state were members, the remainder being citizens of the counties of Crawford, Erie, Venango, Mercer, Butler, Beaver, Allegheny, Westmoreland, Dauphin, and Philadelphia, in Pennsylvania, and the states of Ohio, New Jersey and Massachusetts. May 26 — The Board of Trustees convened at Meadville, and organized and elected Roger Alden of Meadville as presi- dent of the Board. July 28 — Only three months after death of his wife, Eliza- beth Wormstead Alden, Rev. Alden was inaugurated president of the Faculty, and professor of the Oriental Languages, Ec- clesiastical History, and Theology, of Allegheny College. 1818, March 14 — Allegheny published its first advertise- ment. An extract from this advertisement quotes: Tuition ^16 a quarter; board, ^1.50 a week, or boarding, washing, lodging, and tuition at |130 a year. Of course, it is entirely out of place to offer a present day comparison. It will suffice to say that money is much more plentiful, and education more in demand. On the death of Dr. McKean, a trustee of the college, and a Harvard professor, in 18 18, William Bentley, the personal friend of Rev. Alden, was elected to fill the vacancy. In ac- cepting the honor, Dr. Bentley promised some of his books to Allegheny. A few months later he was called by death, and a wonderful gift was bestowed on the new college. An addition- al gift of five hundred volumes was given by Isaiah Thomas. In this way, the real foundation of Allegheny was laid. If it had not been for this wonderful library it is doubtful whether Allegheny College would ever have survived. It was the pride and inspiration of Timothy Alden, and it was that which drew the particular attention of the Methodist Conference; therein, lay the reason for the erecting of Bentley Hall — to provide a place for this invaluable library. Roger Alden now resigned as president of the Board of 22 OLD ALLEGHENY Trustees and the Hon. Jesse Moore was elected to till his place. (The name was changed from Associators in 1818.) 1819 — Patrick Farrelly, Esq., followed Mr. Moore as presi- dent of the Board. 1820, April 10 — At the annual meeting of the Board, it was resolved to erect a library and hall, to be named Bentley Hall. Samuel Lord, Esq., furnished live acres of ground as a site for the college, and proffered the use of his brick yard for nine months. Major Roger Alden succeeded Patrick Farrelly, Esq., as president of the Board of Trustees. As a supplement to the act "establishing Allegheny in the township of Mead and in the County of Crawford", Congress voted to pay to the order of the president of the trustees of Allegheny College the sum of fifteen hundred dollars to be ap- plied by them in erecting a suitable building for the said in- stitution. July 5 — The cornerstone of the first building of Allegheny College, Bentley Hall, was laid. It was a gala day in the small town and every one turned in to make the day an auspicious one. Under the cornerstone were deposited — a piece of Ply- mouth Rock, marble from Dido's Temple in Carthage, a piece of brick from the Tower of Babel, mortar from the tomb of Virgil, names of trustees and benefactors of Allegheny College, a membership list of the Masonic Lodge, and a silver plate with Latin inscription giving dates, officials of nation, state and col- lege, and a story of the event. Today Bentley Hall is noted for its perfect colonial style, and is considered second only in state architecture to that of Independence Hall, Philadelphia. The plans were made entirely by Timothy Alden. He v/as not a man especially trained in the science of architecture, but a man whose mind had been broadened and enriched by the study of literature, language, history, and science. Does not Bentley Hall stand today, as a symbol of the Allegheny system of edu- cation? The exercises ended with the third anniversary commence- ment. In 1829 the Beth Gimel Lamed Literary Society was or- ganized; the first student activity in Allegheny College, O L D A L L E C TI E N Y 23 1821 — A meagre appropriation of live tliousand dollars, to be paid in live installments, was granted Allgeheny College by tlie State legislature. July 4 — The first class to graduate from Allegheny College had only four members. They were, T. J. Fox Alden, David Derickson, Alexander M. White, and Robert W. Alden. Ora- tions were given in Latin, Hebrew, English, Greek, Syric, and German. The exercises took place in the brick meeting house. October 31 — By the will of the Honorable James Winthrop, of Cambridge, Allegheny received the greater part of his pri- vate library. This gift is no doubt one of the most valuable that has ever been received by the college. Mr. Wlnlhrop was a personal friend of Timothy Alden. 1822 — The Faculty of Allegheny College was as yet a rather uncertain quantity. Reverend Johnson had left Mead- ville. Reverend John Van Liew who served for a short time in 1821, had departed, David Derickson, '21, who had taught for a little over a year, was admitted to the local bar. Timothy Alden remained .president and faculty. A mathematical pro- fessorship was founded at this time, by the local Western Star Lodge of Masons. Eight hundred dollars was subscribed for the purpose. 1823, August — "The Catalogus Bibliothecae Collegii Alle- gheniensis", the ilrst catalogue of Allegheny College, contain- ing 139 pages was printed for distribution. 1824 — A roof was finally placed over Bentley Hall,- and work commenced on the interior. 1825 — John Reynolds succeeded Roger Alden as presi- dent of the Board of Trustees. 1827 — The State Legislature granted Allegheny, four thousand dollars, to be paid in four installments. Up until this time the Commonwealth had given six thousand five hun- dred dollars to the college. It was exceedingly hard to gain appropriations from the state for educational purposes and the little college situated so far west found it doubly so. During this year the idea of changing to a Methodist institution was considered but it was not until 183 3 that it was linally agreed upon. Work 01 Bentley Hall was resumed. David Dick was given 24 OLD ALLEGHENY the contract for finishing the east wing. But the college lacked support; it needed more substantial backing. A military school was suggested by Judge Shippen, who had succeeded John Reynolds as president of the Board of Trustees. 1829, April 27 — In spite of the opposition of President Alden, and after considerable correspondence, Mr. James McKay was secured as superintendent of the new military school. Fortunately the proposed plan was not successful, and the old system was resumed. Dr. Reynell Coates, M.D., of Philadelphia, was secured as professor of Natural Philosophy and Chemistry, and Rev. David McKinney was made professor of Mathematics, each re- ceiving a salary of two hundred dollars a year. Dr. Coates practiced medicine along with his academic duties and Rev. McKinney .preached in a country church. Both instructors resigned at the close of the year. 1830 — Joseph Morrison, Esq., became president of the Board of Trustees. November 20 — The Allegheny library was moved from the city Court House to Bentley Hall. 1831 — Following previous investigation a committee was sent by the Board of Trustees to the Methodist Session of the Pittsburgh Conference asking their patronage. August 2 — The resignation of Timothy Alden followed the action of the Board. During his sixteen years of faithful service, Mr. Alden had received no remuneration from the college. Upon his request, the Board estimated his services at thirty-two hundred dollars. The value of the foundation laid by Timothy Alden for Allegheny College is inestimable. He gave the best years of his life to the cause which he had founded and fostered. The remainder of his life he spent in teaching and preaching. In 1839 hi moved to the home of a daughter in Pittsburgh, dy- ing there a short time later, July 5. He was buried in the church yard at Sharpsburg, Pennsylvania. But the example set by Timothy Alden will live on for- ever and ever, as long as there is an Allegheny College. Every man graduated from Old Allegheny is a living monument to her first president. 1831-33 — College closed. OLD ALLEGHENY 25 PART II ''Example is a motive of very prevailing force on the action of men.'' — Rogers. 1833, July 17 — In res.ponse to an invitation from the Board of Trustees, the Pittsburgh Conference met in Mead- ville to inspect the property and equipment of Allegheny Col- lege. Bishop R. R. Roberts presided at the meeting. Martin Ruter, D.D., was proposed as president, Homer J. Clark, A.M., as vice-president, and Augustus Ruter as .professor. Dr. Martin Ruter was an ambitious, progressive, and com- petent leader of men. He was born in Charleston, Mass., in the year of 1785. His education was obtained chiefly through his own ambition and self-aid. At the age of sixteen he was made a preacher in the New York Conference. In 1804, he was stationed at Montreal as a missionary. In 1818, Mr. Ruter was elected as the first principal of the New Market, N. H., Academy of the New England Conference. His interest in the church and in education was always combined with the practical. His principal works as an author were, "A History of the Christian Church", and "A History of Martyrs", He was also the founder of the Western Methodist Book Concern, In 1828 he became president of Madison College, resigning in 1832 to accept a church in Pittsburgh. Then the Pittsburgh Conference called upon him to become the president of Alle- gheny College. Final arrangements were made for the transfer of the col- lege to the Methodist control, under the general supervision of the Pittsburgh Annual Conference. Vacancies in the Board of Trustees were filled by nominations from the Pitts- burgh Conference. Reverend J. S. Barris was chosen to raise ten thousand dollars to found the Roberts Professorship. Bishop Roberts was a great favorite among the people of the northwestern area. He was one of the early settlers, and circuit preachers, later holding important pastorates in the east. He was elected to the office of Bishop in 18 16, filling the .place left vacant by the death of Francis Asbury. August 12 — "A Prospectus of Allegheny College" was pre- 26 OLD ALLEGHENY pared by the Board cf Trustees. The non-sectarian principle of the college was set forth in it as follows: "The .public has been appraised by editorial notices in the public prints of this village, of the recent change which has taken place in the organization of Allegheny College. This institution is now under the patronage and general supervision of the Pittsburgh Annual Conference of the Methodist Episcopal Church. The changes, however, which the institution has undergone, to place it in its new relation to the .public, are not designed to effect in the slightest degree, the liberal principles of its original organization, recognized in its charter. Though under the patronage of a particular religious denomination, it is not intended to be sectarian. This character is utterly disavowed. The Board of Trustees, as before, is still composed of literary gentlemen of different religious persausions. No particular Theological views will be permitted to influence any of the decisions of the Board of Trustees; and from their knowledge of the character of the gentlemen composing the Faculty, the .public may be assured, that no such views will be mingled with the general course of instruction adopted in the in- stitution." The preparatory department of the college opened in Sep- tember and the collegiate department in November under the supervision of Vice-President Clark. Dr. Ruter did not as- sume immediate control, but visited the college on the open- ing day in September to give the inaugural address. October 7 — In order to lessen the ex.pense connected with a college education, the Board of Trustees decided to adopt the Manual Labor System. Aid was asked of the state, and after the usual amount of red tape, Allegheny College was granted 58,000, providing a similar amount should be raised by the college. This amount was to be paid in four equal installments. A committee of the Trustees, appointed to investigate the system, published a report on the above date. The purpose stated in th re.port was twofold, "to preserve the health and morals of students", and to give a better understanding through practical work on the farm and in the shop. The development of the system was traced from the time of Pytha- OLD ALLEGHENY 2."] goras to the establishment of the Maine Wesleyan Seminary, and the later Oneida Institute. The estimated cost totaled "a round sum of ^20,000". The advantage to the community was pointed out — in that scientific farming and stock raising would be demonstrated. A postscript to the report stated that forty-two acres of land had been bought on credit, mak- ing a total of fifty-two acres of land available with which to begin the work. 1834, June — Dr. Ruter accepted the active presidency of the college, at a salary of seven hundred dollars. Richard W. Louck, and W. H. Davis each received five hundred dollars, and composed the remaining faculty. September 25 — The tirst commencement of Allegheny College under the Methodist regime was held in the Mead- ville Court House. 1835 — Commencement exercises were held in the red brick Presbyterian church. Four Seniors were graduated with the bachelor degree, and Rev. Nathanial West and Rev. Thomas Compton received their masters degree. At the Pittsburgh Conference in 1835, it was decided to make an increased effort for greater funds for the support of Allegheny College. A second endowment to be named the Asbury Professorship was started, and more assistance was asked from the state. This time Allegheny received a grant of $25,000 out of a $200,000 appropriation for colleges. 1836, May 2 — The summer session opened with 89 stu- dents. Tuition for the twenty-two week term was $8.00 in the pre.paratory department, and $10.00 in the collegiate depart- ment. August 17 — Ninety Methodist preachers gathered at Bent- ley Hall under Bishop Soule, and organized the Erie Confer- ence. The Manual Labor System, which, it had been hoped, would bring such success to the college, had been a disappointment, and was largely abandoned. The general progress of the col- lege however was good. Three Faculty members had been added: James Reynolds, August W. Ruter, son of President Ruter, and William Burton. Professor Ruter remained at Alle- gheny for a short time, accepting a position at Indiana Uni- 28 OLD ALLEGHENY versity. Bentley Hall had been finally completed and the state was beginning to turn a more generous hand toward the college. 1837, March 28 — Rev Mathew Sim.pson, A.M., was ap- pointed professor of natural science. June 21 — A few years before, Dr. Ruter had given up the presidency of Madison College that he might devote his en- ergies to the ministry. Now that Allegheny seemed fairly on the road to success, he felt that he had fultlUed his mission, and in accordance with previous plans, Dr. Ruter resigned his office as president of Allegheny College, June 21, to accept his appointment as su.perintendent of the Methodist Mission in Texas. Five months from the time of his resignation at Allegheny he was working in the mission fields of Texas. His family had been left at Albany, Indiana, that they would not have to undergo the hardships of the frontier. For five months he worked incessantly, and plans were laid for a college at Ruter- ville, later to be South Western University. Overwork and exposure brought about his death on May 16, 1838. PART III "Zi is an instinct in our nature to follow the track lyointedi out l)y a few leaders.'' — Paris. 1837, June 21 — Upon receiving the resignation of Dr. Martin Ruter, the Board of Trustees elected Vice-President Homer J. Clark to be the third president of Allegheny College. Reverend Homer J. Clark was born at Mount Holly, Vt., in 1803. He was licensed as a preacher in the Ohio Conference when but a boy. In 1825 he left the ministry to work his way through Ohio University, and graduated with honors four years later. He refused an offer to become in- structor in the university and accepted an assistant pastorate in Pittsburgh, later becoming the traveling agent of Madison College. In 183 3, he was given his Masters degree by his Alma Mater, and in 183 7 he received the degree of Doctor of Divinity from Transylvania. In 183 3 he became .pastor of the Meadville Methodist Church, and vice-president of Allegheny College. OLD ALLEGHENY 29 The Faculty now consisted of Professor Matthew Simpson, vice-president, William M. Burton, instructor in Mathematics, and George W. Clark, '25, instructor of Greek and Latin Languages. September 18 — There were live members in the graduat- ing class. 1838 — Realizing the need of immediate financial assistance, on account of the slow payment of subscriptions, the Board petitioned the state for another appropriation. A grant of $1,000 a year, for ten years, was made to several colleges at this time, and Allegheny was numbered among them. An at- tempt to raise an additional $20,000 endowment failed. November 5 — A department of engineering was added to the curriculum. 1839 — Some faculty changes were necessitated by the resignation of Vice-President Matthew Simpson and Professor William Burton. Mr. R. T. P. Allen, from West Point, became instructor of road construction and engineering, and John Barker, of Genesee Wesleyan, became vice-president of the college. In spite of all that could be done the college continued to run in debt. It was proposed to turn one-half of the John Wesley Centenary Celebration Funds over to Allegheny, but nothing materialized. 1840 — A side light is thrown on these troublesome years by a written oath dated October 12, 1840, in which the stu- dents of Allegheny College attested their faith in the laws of the college and declared upon their honor, "that we do acquiesce therein, and will do the utmost of power to obey therein". The condition of the times had its effect upon the student life and discipline. Class attendance became lax, and the roll call was instituted. It seems that this method recom- mended by the Board of Trustees is not as binding today, as it was three-quarters of a century ago. The secretaries' notes given into the hands of the college by Charles A. Martin, of Greencastle, Ind., indicate a very effective .penalty. Pupils who did not make "public confession" were "severely flogged" and compelled to make good their misdemeanors. The letter of Mr. Martin read, "If you have any trouble with the matter 30 OLD ALLEGHENY of 'discipline' at Allegheny, I recommend the old method, noted under date of February 3, 1841". The scientific course leading to the degree of Bachelor of Science was introduced. 1841 — The attendance of this year totaled one hundred and hfty-seven, in the two departments. The Rev. Moses Crow, A.B., was principal of the preparatory department, and on the resignation of Professor Allen, Rev. Calvin Kingsley, '41, be- came professor of Mathematics, Rev. Charles A. Doering taught German, and Mons. Collier was secured to teach French. 1842 — The Unitarian Theological School was founded with Rev. R. P. Stebbins as its first -president. 1843-45 — The college was practically closed due to the financial stringency. In 1844, the state act of 1838 was discontinued, thus cut- ting off the yearly appropriation for Allegheny. A new plan was soon forthcoming from President Clark. It was to be called the "Perpetual Scholarship Plan". Cer- tificates of Scholarship were to be sold to the public at twenty- five dollars, to be gO(~)d forever in Allegheny College, or any other college under the patronage of the Pittsburgh-Erie Con- ference. One hundred thousand dollars was to be raised, the fund to be controlled by two Centenary Boards. The cam- •paign opened in September, 1844, and by July 30, 184 5, ninety thousand dollars had been pledged. Of this amount, sixty thousand was finally collected. An attempt was made to begin anew the Manual Labor System, but it, like the first at- tempt, never materialized. The college re-opened in 184 5, under the old system. It was proposed to open under the new plan the following year. Joseph Morrison, Esq., resigned as president of the Board oi Trustees, and the Hon. David Derickson was elected to succeed him. 1846, April 6 — Allegheny College opened under the new Perpetual Scholarship Plan. Contrary to expectations, only 150 students made application for admittance. Faculty changes this year were: Rev. George W. Clark, professor of Latin and Greek Languages and Classical Literature, was advanced to the vice-presidency. Jonathan Hammett, '39, accepted the OLD ALLEGHENY 3I Latin professorship, and Lorenzo D. Williams tilled the chair of Natural Sciences. 1847 — The year o-pened with a record attendance of over two hundred students. Ten students were given their degree at graduation, and T. J. Fox Alden was elected president of the first Allegheny College Alumni Association. November 20 — 111 health brought about the resignation of the third president of Allegheny College. After spending two years on a farm, Dr. Clark removed to Pittsburgh where he accepted a church pastorate. During the years 1852-56 he was editor of the Advocate. For several years he served as presiding elder, receiving a pension in 1864. His death oc- curred September 24, 1875, and he was buried near his home- stead in Ohio. December 2 — The Trustees voted to erect a new building. PART IV ''Rare benevole^ice, the minister of God-" — Carlyle. 1848, February 12 — Dr. John Barker was chosen as the fourth president of Allegheny College. Mr. Barker was born in Foggathrope, East Ridgeway, York- shire, England, March 17, 181 3. When he was three years old, his family moved to New York. In 183 2, he graduated from Geneva, now Hobart College, and in 1839 he came from Gene- see Wesleyan to Allegheny College, acting in the ca.pacity of vice-president. In 1846, he was called to Transylvania Uni- versity where he remained until the following year when he was recalled to Allegheny College to become its president. Both Transylvania and Washington and Jefferson honored him with the degree of Doctor of Divinity. 1849, October 30 — The attendance was increasing steadily, and a campaign was begun to raise money for the new build- ing, which was to be named Ruter Hall. 1850 — A record was established by a total attendance of over three hundred. Many, however, did not complete their course and graduation classes averaged between fifteen and twenty-five students. Action was begun to obtain a second college building, to 32 OLD ALLEGHENY be named Ruter Hall. The large attendance necessitated in- creased accommodations. As usual, the citizens of Meadville started the ball rolling with an initial subscription of twenty- five hundred dollars. The remainder was to be raised by pub- lishing a book of original sermons. The book contained thirty- two sermons contributed by prominent ministers of the patron- izing conferences. In May, the book was made ready for sale, and in two years time sixteen hundred dollars was secured. April 27 — Professor Hamnett opened a subscription list for funds to lay a plank walk from the Diamond to the Campus. 1852, April 27 — Work on the new building was well un- der way, and attendance continued to increase. Two hun- died and twenty-live students were enrolled and twenty of these were graduated. 1853, June — Fourteen students were graduated from the college, and plans were set on foot for the addition of a Bibli- cal department. 1854 — Thirteen thousand dollars of the intended fifteen thousand was subscribed toward the new Biblical chair. The largest donor was Allen Kramer, Esq., of Pittsburgh, and the new chair was named the Kramer Professorship of Hebrew and Biblical Literature. April 12 — Ruter Hall was finally completed. Dr. Cook of Pittsburgh, gave the dedicatory address on "Perfection". The number of graduates dropped to twelve at the commence- ment exercises in June. A few changes in the faculty again took place in 1854; vice president. Professor G. W. Clarke resigned, and Alexander Martin succeeded him; Calvin Kingsley became vice-president. 1855 — The courses in biblical study were first begun, 1856 — The first alumni gathering in the history of the col- lege took place at commencement. Nineteen graduates were given their diplomas. 1857 — The number of graduates increased to twenty-two. 1858 — In this year the number increased to twenty-eight, the largest graduating class up to that time. May 3 — The day was set aside by Dr. Barker, for the plant- ing of trees, and campus improvements. OLD ALLEGHENY 33 1860, February 25 — A mantle of gloom was thrown over the college caused by the sudden death of the president, Dr. Barker. He was survived by three children and his second wife. Although poor in earthly treasures, the true wealth of Dr. Barker was inestimable, so well had he garnered the love and esteem of his friends. Generosity was indeed his failing. Plans were made at once, to raise a fund with which to build the Barker Memorial Residence. In a very short time twelve hundred dollars was secured and a home was built for the Barker family. Dr. Williams was appointed to conduct the aflfairs of the college until a president could be chosen. PART V "Even in war, moral power is to physical as three parts out of four'' — Napoleon I. 1860, October — It was announced that the fifth presi- dent of Allegheny College would be Rev.

On the same day seventy-eight loyal Alleghen- ians responded to the call for volunteers. The college com- pany was organized: Ira Ayer, captain; Sion B Smith, first lieutenant; Oscar Henning, German instructor, second lieu- tenant, and George H. Norris, third lieutenant. The Meadville Volunteers had been formed with S. B. Dick, '58, ca.ptain; G. H. Bemus, first lieutenant, and T. R. Ken- nedy, '5 5, second lieutenant. 34 OLD ALLEGHENY April 26 — A flag was presented to the college company by the ladies of Meadville. May 2 — The Meadville Volunteers left for Camp Wilkins.

May 24 — Governor Curtin accepted the college company, later oflicially known as Company 1, 3 9th Regiment, lOth Re- serve, Pennsylvania Volunteers. On June 11, active duty orders were received and they left Meadville by boat, enroute for Camp Wright, near Pitts- burgh. A short time later they were mustered into the regu- lar army, and were assigned to the 3rd Brigade of the Army of the Potomac under Brig. Gen. E. O. C. Ord. Seiptember — Company I was not the only company in which Allegheny College was represented. Company B, of the "Fighting Eighteenth" numbered five Alleghenians in its ranks. They were later joined to the 3rd Division, Cavalry Corps, of the Army of the Potomac, under General E. S. Farns- worth, at the battle of Gettysburg. December 10 — Company I was tirst placed under fire at the battle of Dranesville. From that time on it took part in every battle of the Army of the Potomac except the battle of Chancelorsville. 1863, July 2 — Company I occupied the low ground be- tween Little Round Top and Round Top. Company B, with the 3rd Division Cavalry Corps, held Law's Infantry from supporting General Pickett's oflrensive. The invasion of northern territory by General Lee, brought the formation of Company K, and the enlistment of the 58th Regiment from the vicinity of Meadville. They were used in chasing the Confederates from Ohio, their enlistment expiring in three months. Company K of the l50th Regiment, P. V., enlisted from Crawford county, served for two years as bodyguard for Presi- dent Lincoln. 1864, June 11 — After three years of service, and nearly continuous action Company I was mustered out of service. OLD ALLEGHENY 35 During the war Company I had lost: killed and mortally wounded, 26; wounded, 36; died, 8; discharged for disabil- ity, 25. In this brief sketch of Old Allegheny, it is impossible to record the individual service and bravery of her .patriots who served in the Civil War. It will suffice to say that Allegheny is proud of her sons, for their service performed in the critical period of our national existence. 1865, April 9 — General Lee surrendered to General Grant at the Appomatox Court House, Virginia. Now that the war was over, attention was again turned to the academic life of the college. The scientific course was re- established, after years of neglect, mainly through the efforts of Jeremiah Tingley. At this time French and German were added to the classical curriculum and a professorship was es- tablished for modern languages. George T. Comfort was se- cured to till the chair. Culver Hall was erected at a cost of $30,000 through the generosity of Mr. Charles Culver of Oil City. The building was to be used as a dormitory and boarding house for men. Three buildings now graced the campus. In s.pite of the later unfortunate financial failure of Mr. Culver, he still stands as a loyal benefactor of Allegheny College. Through the activ- ity and persistence of Dr. Loomis, further donations were re- ceived and the college once more resumed its progressive trend. 1866 — Some financial aid came in the way of a donation from the Centenary Celebraticn of American Methodists. Dr. loomis was continually looking after the financial welfare of the college. Twenty thousand dollars was pledged through in- dividual donors.

May — Allegheny was honored by the convening of the Board of Bishops of the Methodist Episcopal Church, in Ford Memorial Chapel. June 19 — The cornerstone of Cochran Hall was laid. Dr. William A. Elliott, professor of Greek languages and literature was made vice-president of the college, and Dr. O. P. Akers was given a full professorship in mathematics. 1908, April 18 — The remains of Timothy Alden were brought to Meadville from the Pine Creek Cemetery, and in- terred in Greendale Cemetery. This action was the result of a stirring senior oration given by F. L. La Bounty, '07, calling for greater res.pect and mere attention to the founder of Alle- gheny College. Founders' Day was established in the Allegheny Calendar as April 24. Mr. Durbin Home, after serving as president of the Board of Trustees for eight years, since 1900, now resigned and Mr. Frank A. Arter, of Cleveland, was elected pres'dent. 1909, April 11-13 — A three days holiday was declared by the college to celebrate the fiftieth anniversary of the sailing of Bishop James M. Thoburn as a missionary, to India. April 13 — The college and friends of Bishop Thoburn pre- sented him with a home and a gift of one thousand dollars in appreciation of his services. April 24 — Founders' Day was respectfully observed. Dr. Crawford was granted a leave cf absence from his arduous duties, and Prof. W. T. Dutton, became acting presi- dent. Due to financial trouble in the Erie Conference Centenary Board, President Crawford returned in haste. This trouble resulted in new arrangements. The Colonial Trust Company of Pittsburgh became the financial trustees of the college. An entirely new system was taken up. 1910, February 24 — At the meeting of the Board cf Trus- OLD ALLEGHENY 47 tees, President Crawford proposed the half million dollar en- dowment campaign and gained the approval of the board. February 28 — The president returned to Europe to com- •plete his leave of absence. Campus improvements and donations included: a new rustic bridge; the stcne wall on the south boundary of the campus given by Mrs. Cochran. Ten thousand dollars was pledged for the completion of the athletic held. Two very notable gifts toward the half million endow- ment came from the General Educational Board of New York, and from Mrs. Sara B. Cochran. They were each for one hun- dred thousand dollars, the gift of the Educational Board being provisional. April 24 — Founders' Day, was the date set for the com- pletion of the half million endowment. Mrs. Mary M. New- ton added forty thousand dollars to the two hundred thousand already subscribed and soon the finishing mark was wthin sight. With a little less than one month to go, one hundred thousand remained to be subscribed. That amount was forth- coming and at a little before midnight on April 24 the en- dowment was successfully completed. June 20 — The Civ'J War Memorial Boulder and Tablet was dedicated. "In memory of the men of Allegheny College who served their Country as Soldiers and Sailors of the Civil War." The rustic bridge was formally opened at the same time with an address by Dr. E. A. Smith. Alumni plans were formed for the Centennial Celebration in 191 5, and the completion of the endowment campaign. The matter of alumni re-presentation on the Board of Trus- tees came in for discussion, resulting in a change in the system of government, as follows: Instead of the Joint Board of Con- trol nominating the trustees, the Pittsburgh and Erie Confer- ences, and alumni each nominated eight. The Erie Confer- ence did not agree to the change until l9ii. The plan was formally adopted. The West Virginia and Eastern Ohio Con- ferences were to withdraw. Twenty-four trustees were to be elected for four years, six retiring every year, and twenty-three were jointly elected as life members. 48 OLD ALLEGHENY June — An added feature of the centennial program was to be the completion of an additional three hundred thousand dollars endowment campaign. Nearly one-third of this amount was secured, and fifty thousand dollars was pledged by the General Educational Board, when it was decided not to com- .plete the campaign due to the financial stringency of the times. Under the new system of election, twelve new trustees were elected to the board. The preparatory school was discontinued and the depart- ment of chemistry moved from Ruter to Alden Hall. October 5 — Montgomery Field was opened by Dr. Wat- son Savage, director of the Pittsburgh Athletic Association. Mr. J. F. Eberhart presented to the college, twenty-six acres of land on Park Avenue extension, to be used as a sec- ond athletic field. At the same time Mr. Eberhart donated more Chicago property, making a total of one hundred thou- sand dollars. 1911 — The attention of the college and her friends was constantly turned to the progress of the endowment campaign. Dr. Crawford, continually on the road, strove to maintain an average s'-bscription of $1000 a day. At this time, another .property donation, independent of the endowment campaign, and making his property gifts a total of $100,000, was received from Mr. John F. Eberhart, '53. 1912, January 4-5 — The annual conference of the presi- dents of Methodist Colleges and Universities was held at Alle- gheny. It was attended by delegates from forty institutions. At the semi-annual meeting of the Board of Trustees, Presi- dent Crawford reported $330,000, of the necessary $400,000 for the endowment fund, had been raised. March — A special meeting of the Board of Trustees was held to confer with President Crawford on ways and means for successfully completing the endowment campaign by April 24. Additional force was given to the drive in and about the Mead- ville and Pittsburgh vicinities. A balance of $114,000 re- mained to be raised. April 24 — The half million endowment fund was brought to a successful close. An enthusiastic .parade and student demon- stration announced the victory to the Meadville citizens. OLD ALLEGHENY 49 Three outstanding features of the campaign were pointed out by Dr. Crawford in his address to the student body. They were: first, the generous gift of Mrs. Sarah B. Cochran; sec- ond, the liberality of the citizens of Meadville; third, the sup- port of the student body. From in endowment of #140,000 in 1893, Allegheny had now reached the astounding figure of $1,025,000 which gave the college fifteenth place among the colleges of the country, in point of endowment. Too much credit cannot be given Dr. Crawford for having set Allegheny College at last on a sound financial footing. June 24 — The newly established summer school was opened. October 5 — Recitations were set aside for the formal open- ing and dedication of Montgomery Athletic Field. Allegheny is now possessed of one of the finest athletic fields in the state. 1913, January 9 — At the semi-annual meeting of the Board of Trustees, it was voted to limit the attendance of the college to four hundred, also to adopt the old original Allegheny seal. A co.py of this seal was discovered by Dr. Crawford, on the first diploma given to a graduate of Allegheny College, Timothy John Fox Alden, nephew of Timothy Alden, the founder. Attendance had increased from three hundred and twenty- two to four hundred. The need for greater accommodations was expressed in a plea to the General Educational Board, which resulted in a provisional fifty thousand dollar donation, on con- dition that the college raised one hundred and fifty thousand dollars in a limited time. The term fee was increased from seventy-five dollars to one hundred dollars. The year of I9l3 was marked by several noteworthy events: Allegheny was given membership in the Carnegie Edu- cational Foundation, the purpose of which is to provide for aged professors; the honorary fraternity of Delta Sigma Rho was installed. The commencement in June marked the nine- ty-eighth anniversary of the college, and the twentieth anni- versary of President Crawford's regime. He was granted a seven weeks' leave of absence during the fall term, which he and Mrs. Crawford s.pent in Europe. 1914, January — The Board of Trustees authorized the 50 OLD ALLEGHENY building of a new heating plant, and extensive campus im- provements. Plans were gotten under way for the centennial celebration. During the spring term the honor system was installed by student vote to take the place of Faculty supervision. The largest class ever graduated from Allegheny College received diplomas in June. The class of '14 numbered seventy-nine. September — Several changes had taken place in the Faculty in the past two years. Dr. Gilbert G. Benjamin, Dr. Robert S. Breed, and Dr. Irwin R. Beiler had resigned. Dr. Chester A. Darling became head of the biology department in place of Dr. Breed, and Prof. Charles E. Hammett was secured as physical director and coach of Athletics. In 19 1 4, Dr. Frederic G. Henke became acting .professor of philosophy and Dr. W. H. Wood, acting professor of English Bible. Other new members of the Faculty were: Dr. W. C. Heffener, Professors Robert C. Ward, Robert V. Conant, and Daniel H. G. Matthaei. Profes- sor Stanley S. Swartley, of the English department, Dr. O. P. Akers, of the department of mathematics, and Miss Edith Rowley, librarian, returned from leave of absence spent abroad. The sudden death cf Professor William Tenney Dutton, head of the department of Mathematics and Engineering, on March 19, I9l4, came as a sorrowful shock to the college, and the community. November — Campus improvements to the extent of twenty-five thousand dollars were begun, including the instal- lation of the new heating plant and drainage system. 1915, January 14 — One of the hardest blows which Alle- gheny College has had to bear, came when tire totally destroyed the Alden Hall of Chemistry, with a loss of fifteen thousand dollars. Insurance to the amount of ten thousand dollars was carried on the building. The Trustees at once voted one thousand dollars to be used in defraying the immediate needs in equipment, and the department resumed its work in Wil- cox Hall of Physics. January 29 — The Board of Trustees voted to expend one hundred and fifteen thousand dollars for a new chemistry building and equipment, and for the rebuilding of Alden Hall. OLD ALLEGHENY 5I Mr. Andrew Carnegie made the plan possible by a donation of forty thousand dollars, on condition that the Trustees should raise an additional twenty thousand. May 11 — Ground was broken for the Carnegie Hall of Chemistry. 1915, June — Dr. Jeremiah Tingley who served Allegheny so faithfully as head of the Science department during the years 1865-88, died at his heme in Pittsburgh. He was tit- tingly termed the "dean of Pennsylvania educators". June 19-24 — Plans for the celebration of the one hun- dredth anniversary of the founding of Allegheny College had long been under way. Numerous committees appointed since 1909, had been carefully completing their work. Urgent in- vitations had been sent to all Alumni, to return "for the great- est celebration in the history of Allegheny College". The Alumni Association, as their gift to the celebration, .planned to hold a pageant the like of which had never been surpassed in beauty and completeness. Professor George P. Baker, pro- fessor of Dramatic Literature in Harvard University, and the foremost of American Pageant Masters, had been secured to write and direct the pageant. He was assisted by P. F. Ren- iers, the music being arranged and conducted by Mr. Charles Roepper, of Boston. A stretch of ground directly in front of Bentley Hall was leveled and sodded for a stage in 19 14, in preparation for the celebration. For some time preceding the .presentation of the pageant. Professor Baker had been work- ing incessantly on the various parts. The personnel was made up chiefly of four hundred undergraduates, and young people of the community. E. M. Hickman, '16, took the part of Timothy Alden most acceptably. The pageant depicted the pioneer life at the time when George Washington made his first tri.p through northwestern Pennsylvania, the trials of the early founders of Meadville, the coming of Timothy Alden and the founding of Allegheny Col- lege, the transfer to Methodist control, and the subsequent steps of development through the Civil War Period. The years following the Civil War, up to, and including the year 1915, were represented by symbolic figures. The basis of the :52 OLD ALLEGHENY theme was derived from the Hebrew inscription on the old college seal, "The desert shall rejoice and blossom as the rose". Other interesting and very worthwhile features of the cen- tennial week were the presentation of an alumni register by Professor Ross, and the announcement that the Allegheny Col- lege history under the title of "Allegheny, a Century of Edu- cation", written by Dr. Ernest Ashton Smith, professor of History, had been completed and was in the hands of the printer. Following is an outline of the program of Centennial Ex- ercises: Saturday, June 19. Open House to Alumni. Sunday, June 20. Anniversary Sermon. A Missionary Conference, and Addresses.

February — The outbreak of the World War stirred up the old spirit of democracy in the hearts of Allegheny College Faculty and students, and the .possibility of the participation of their country, if Germany continued to transgress upon her trade rights, caused a letter to be sent to the Secretary of War, pledging the unanimous support of the Allegheny stu- dents and Faculty if war should be declared. April 6 — The United States of America declared war upon Germany and the Entente Powers. Dr. Guy E. Suavely, professor of Romance Language and Literature, and Registrar of the college, left to "do his bit" for his country. Dr. Suavely was made director of the Red Cross Society of live of the southern states. Professor C. E. Hammett became Registrar of the college. Many of the students left the college to serve their coun- try on the farm, and were given credit for the remainder of the college term. ■ ' In support of the national prohibition amendment of the United States, the Faculty and students voted to send a letter of a.pproval to President Wilson. A petition from the student body for military training in Allegheny, was approved by the Faculty and turned over to the Trustees for final action. OLD ALLEGHENY 55 Founders' Day, April 24, was celebrated with the usual spirit, and exercises. May — Fourteen students and alumni of Allegheny College enlisted in the Cleveland Base Hospital Corps which was the first from the United States to actually enter active service in France. By June 1, the enlistment roll of the college had passed the one hundred mark. Throughout the year Allegheny responded loyally to the call of her country. Funds were raised in sup.port of the Y. M. C. A., the Friendship campaign. Prison relief, Belgian re- lief. Liberty Loans, and other worthy causes. Enlistments continued and on December 18, President Crawford left Alle- gheny for a few months foreign service with the Y. M. C. A. Dr. Camden M. Cobern was appointed by the Board of Trus- tees to till the otlice of president during his absence. Arthur W. Thompson was elected president of the Board of Trustees to succeed Frank A. Arter. 1918, January — At a meeting of the College Presidents' Association of Pennsylvania, held in Harrisburg, a set of reso- lutions was made, to be carried out by every member of the association. The object was to reduce college expense to a minimum during the year. February 11 — Bentley Hall came very near being destroyed by a fire which broke out in the basement of the old build- ing. The prom.pt action of the student body, and the Mead- ville Fire Department saved the building, and little loss was sustained. On February 21, the Student Senate presented the college with a large service flag, the stars on the flag representing only men of the class of '17, or undergraduates, who had left the college to enter the service of their country. April 30 — Dr. Crawford returned to the United States, after serving four and one-half months with the Y. M. C. A. in France. He immediately assumed control of affairs and Dr. Cobern returned to his place in the faculty. Dr. Charles E. Hammett, physical director of the college, was granted a leave of absence for one year, or the duration of the war, in order that he might go to France, immediately after commencement, to instruct the soldiers in athletics. 56 OLD ALLEGHENY Professor George Hucker left Allegheny to take up gov- ernment work at the University of Nebraska. The chair of German was formally and emphatically abolished from the cur- riculum. A resolution was passed for the duration of the war, which .provided for the graduation of the students who had taken three years of the regular college course, and two sum- mer school courses. Professor C. F. Ross was made registrar of the college. The commencement exercises of this year marked the twenty-fifth year of Dr. Crawford's regime in Allegheny Col- lege, and the one hundred and third anniversary of her found- ing. November 11 — Armistice Day was celebrated by the col- lege with appropriate exercises, and an address by Professor C. E. Hammett. November 26 — By the order of the War Department every S. A. T. C. unit in the live hundred colleges and universities of the United States was ordered to disband. Demobilization was to be completed not later than December 21. The last man was discharged at Allegheny College on December 13. 1919, February — A service flag consisting of thirteen gold stars, was presented to the college by the student body, in memory of the thirteen men who had sacrificed their lives in order that German "Kultur" might be crushed forever. The freshmen enrollment for the second semester num- bered one hundred and eighty-eight, the largest class ever entered. Allegheny College was the first to be added to the Carnegie Foundation list of Associated Institutions under the new plan of Contributory Annuity. The Alumni Bi-Monthly, a periodical of Alumni news, was founded by Meadville Alumni. April 30 — Mr. Arthur W. Thompson, .president of the Board of Trustees, placed before the student body, a plan for the building of a new gymnasium. The plan was to raise forty thousand dollars, of which amount the student body was to raise ten thousand. May 17 — The first Junior Promenade in Allegheny College, OLD ALLEGHENY 57 was given in the gymnasium, and marked tlie beginning of a new social era. October 1 — Work was begun raising tlie necessary funds for the new building program, and the remodeling of Hulings Hall and tearing down of the old gymnasium was started. The cost of the new building was now estimated at seventy-five thousand dollars over the original estimate. The fall term opened with a larger enrollment than ever; attendance was limited to live hundred. The need for greater facilities was doubly emphasized. An influx of men from the service, together with the nation-wide realization of the value of a college education, accounts for the great increase of at- tendance. Social Service, Appreciation of Art, and Sociology were added to the already nearly com.plete curriculum. November 24 — Laying of the cornerstone of the new gym- nasium. A great number of Faculty changes took place during the year. Many new instructors were needed for the increasing attendance. They were as follows: C. F. Ross, A.M., Dean of Men, Registrar, and Bradley Professor of Latin Language and Literature. H. W. Church, A.B., A.M., Ph.D., professor of Romance Language and Literature. B. C. Rodick, A.B., A. M., acting professor of History and Political Science. H. W. Peck, A.B., A.M., Ph.D., acting professor of Eco- nomics. H. W. Gardiner, A.B., A.M., assistant professor of History and Political Science. K. F. Bascom, A.B., instructor in Biology and Geology. Gerald Barnes, A.B., assistant coach. S. L. Maxwell, A.B., S.T.B., secretary of the Y. M. C. A. and director of Religious Activities. 1920, January 15 — President Crawford tendered his resig- nation to the Board of Trustees, at the semi-annual meeting in Pittsburgh, to take eflfect June 30, 1920. Dr. William H. Crawford was elected president of Allegheny College July 26, 1893. He was formally inaugurated on the eighteenth of October, and continued in the service of the 58 OLD ALLEGHENY college for twenty-seven years. Under his supervision, seven new buildings were added, and the college was enlarged in many ways. He secured with the aid of the Alumni, a large endowment, and gained for Allegheny a prominent place among the foremost colleges of the country. President Crawford was a great financier. In I9l5, a beautiful centennial was conducted. At the end of 1920 he would have reached the age when, according to the standard set by the Carnegie Foundation for the advancement of teaching, college presi- dents, as well as college .professors are permitted to retire from active service, and give place to younger men. In answer to a petition from the student body, the Board granted five thousand dollars for the promotion of athletics. An additional five thousand for equipment, and ten thousand dollars was appropriated for an increase of professors' sal- aries, with the minimum fixed at three thousand dollars a year. The tuition fee was raised to two hundred dollars. May 5 — Dr. Camden M. Cobern, '76, after a short illness, died at Battle Creek Sanitarium. Dr. Cobern returned to Allegheny in 1906 to occupy the James M. Thoburn professor- ship of English Bible and Philosophy of Religion. He was a noted authority and author on Biblical, and Archaeological research work. During the late war Dr. Cobern served both at home and abroad with the Y. M. C. A. He was, no doubt, the most widely known man ever on the Faculty of Allegheny College. PART IX ''Education begins the gentleman, hut reading, good com- pany, and reflection finish him.'' — Locke. 1920, June — Dr. Fred W. Hixson, president of the Uni- versity of Chattanooga, was announced as the tenth president of Allegheny College. Dr. Hixson was born in Indiana in 187 5. His father was a Methodist minister. In 1899, Dr. Hixson graduated from De Pauw University. He was active in student activities and is a member of the Delta Kappa Epsilon, and Phi Beta Kappa fra- ternities. President Hixson received the degree of Doctor of Divinity from De Pauw University in 19 13, and the degree of OLD ALLEGHENY 59 Doctor of Laws from Dickinson College in 19 18. He has been active in the Masonic order, being a member of the Knights Templar. He is also a member of the University Senate of the Methodist Episcopal Church, a contributor to the church -press and a lecturer of note. Dr. W. H. Crawford, retiring president received the degree of LL.D., and was made president emeritus of the college. November 11 — Dr. Hixson was inaugurated president of Allegheny College. Sixty-two of America's leading colleges and universities were represented at the ceremonies. Gov- ernor William Cameron Sproul, of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, presented the congratulations of the state. In his inaugural address, President Hixson emphasized the need of a liberal Christian education, of quality, and of a pure mind. At a special meeting of the Board of Trustees, it was voted to begin a campaign for a million and a quarter dollars endow- ment. Work was at once started on formulating some definite plan. During the Christmas holidays a reception was tendered Dr. and Mrs. Fred W. Hixson, at the University Club of Pitts- burgh, and at that time .public announcement was made of the undertaking, which is to be known as "The Allegheny College Second Century" movement. A "Committee of 105" has been appointed to take charge of the campaign, with Arthur W. Thompson, president of the Board of Trustees of the college, as general chairman. The work will be under the direction of Dr. John W. Hancher, of New York City, who will be counsellor of finance to the com- mittee of 105. The endowment is to be applied to equipment, maintenance, improvements, departments of instruction, a-p- plied sciences, physical education and scholarships. Old Alle- gheny is indeed entering on a new era. Keeping pace with general progress of the college. Faculty changes for the year 1920-21 are as follows: Irwin R. Beiler, A.B., Ph.D., S.T.B., professor of English Bible and Philosophy of Religion. Lee D. McClean, A.B., A.M., professor of Economics and Business Administration. C. B. Coleman, A.B., B.D., Ph.

General Purpose This institution is a college, not a university. It does not undertake to lit the student to enter a profession without further technical study. In all departments of instruction the end sought is not specialization but thorough discipline and correct habits of observation and reflection. It is on this .prin- ciple that the curricula are based. Under the various groups about three-fourths of the subjects are prescribed. These studies are such as have been found to be best adapted to se- cure symmetrical development. A wide range of electives is offered, enabling the student to lay a foundation for subse- quent professional study. By a wise choice of electives a stu- dent may, in some cases, shorten by a year the time required to complete his professional course. The experience of the college proves that its graduates are enabled to distinguish themselves in various careers whenever they have added to their college training the special equipment for a profession. A large proportion of college graduates enter net upon pro- fessional but upon business life. The general principle above stated applies to them with as much force as to those who enter professions. A college training does not teach a man how to do business successfully, but it does .prepare him to do business rapidly, and to attain large success, if he has the requisite talent. Entrance Examinations Examinations for admission are held on Monday and Tues- day of Commencement Week, and on Monday and Tuesday preceding the opening of the first term. All examinations except those taken in Meadville are under direction of the College Entrance Examination Board, whose certificates are accepted in all subjects. 62 OLD ALLEGHENY In place of examination in studies required for admission to college, certificates will be accepted from approved first class high schools having a regular four year's course, for per- sons regularly graduating in such a course. Certificates will also be accepted in case of graduates of a three years' high school course, provided they pass entrance examination in not less than three additional units to their certificate. Special Students Persons desiring to pursue studies in the college are, as a rule, required to be prepared to enter the freshman class as candidates for one of the degrees. Under exceptional cir- cumstances, however, persons who are not candidates for a de- gree may be admitted as special students and allowed to pur- sue selected studies. Every such .person will be required to satisfy the Faculty that he is prepared to do with profit, the work which he selects. Each case will be decided on its own merits. The Adviser System Each student on entering chooses some member of the Faculty, who serves throughout the freshman year as a special counsellor on all matters in which the student finds the need of frank and friendly advice. The relation between adviser and student is intended to be perfectly fraternal, without restraint on either side. At the beginning of the sophomore year the professor under whom the student chooses to do his major work becomes the student's adviser for the remainder of the course. Honor System All college examinations and formal quizzes are conducted under an honor system, by which the presence of the instruc- tors in the room is dispensed with, and the student is placed on his honor. The following signed declaration is required to make the examination valid: "I hereby declare on my honor that I have neither given nor received aid in this ex- amination". All cases of sus.pected dishonesty are dealt with by the Student Honor Committee, who are authorized to decide on the question of guilt and to recommend to the Faculty that a OLD ALLEGHENY 63 senior, junior, or sophomore found guilty of a first offense, and a freshman found guilty of a second offense, be dismissed from college. Required Work For graduation in any Group, all work specified as re- quired must be complete, and additional subjects selected from the general list of electives sufficient to make a total of not less than one hundred twenty term hours. "Term hours" signifies one hour recitation weekly for one term of eighteen weeks. In the senior year a thesis is required. The regular number is sixteen recitations weekly, but the Registrar may assign seventeen or less than twelve hours' work without the approval of the Registration Committee. In no case will additional hours be allowed except on the basis of previous high grade work. Degrees The degree of Bachelor of Arts is conferred upon students who complete in a satisfactory manner the requirements un- der one of the A. B. Grou.ps. The degree of Bachelor of Science is conferred upon students who complete in a satis- factory manner any one of the Science Groups. Bachelors of Art of this college may pursue, in residence, work in not more than two distinct lines of study; and on the completion of a full year's work, including a satisfactory thesis, receive the degree of Master of Arts. The degree of Master of Science is conferred upon Bachel- ors of Science on the same conditions as the degree of Master of Arts is conferred upon Bachelors of Arts. Every person receiving a degree from the college pays a diploma fee of ten dollars. Aid to Students Self-Help — Young men help themselves in several ways. A considerable number of the present students are earning their expenses in whole or in part. Some are employed in light work connected with the college or the boarding clubs. Others find in town opportunities for work of various kinds. A few are serving churches in the neighborhood of Meadville. 64 OLD ALLEGHENY It is the policy of the college to help students to help them- selves. Graduation Honors Seniors who have had no grade less than A during their entire college course are awarded "summa cum laude". All other seniors who have had no grade less than B and have maintained an average of A are awarded "magna cum laude". All other seniors who have had no grade less than C and have maintained an average of 88 are awarded "cum laude". Class Honors In each class students who have had no grade less than B during the year and who have maintained an average of A are awarded "First Honors". Other students who have no grade less than B and have maintained an average of 88 are awarded "Second Honors". Endowments and Prizes Many Allegheny students receive financial a'd through a number of endowments made by alumni and benefactors of the college. The Lindley endowment, by the late Miss Lucy Lindley, of Meadville, provides for the interest on $10,000 to be given to aid students de.pendent upon their own resources. The Ballantyne Scholarship Fund, a $30,000 gift by Mrs. N. F. Ballantyne of Pittsburgh, in memory of her husband J. H. Ballantyne, the interest of which is to defray the expenses of needy students of the Pittsburgh Conference who are study- ing for the ministry. The George W. Wright Scholarship Fund, a gift of $1,000, the proceeds of which are to be used only by the representa- tive nominated by Mr. Wright. High School Scholarships of $100 each are given by the Board of Trustees to honor students of the high schools in the patronizing territory of the college. Educational Society Loans are given to students who are members of the Methodist Church, and who show premise of usefulness in some Christian activity. Athletic Scholarships will possibly be given in the very near OLD ALLEGHENY 65 future, to students who show marked ability in athletics, and who primarily are desirous of gaining an education at Allegheny College. The com.petition prizes of the college consist of the Wake- field Oration Prize of $50, the Philo-Franklin Oration, open to members of the Philo-Franklin Forum, the Heckel Prizes in Science of $3 5 and $\S, for the two best written scientillc theses, and the Ballinger Chemistry Prize of $25. College Fees All students pay a fee of $200 a year, one-half of which is payable at the opening of each term. This includes incidental, library and gymnasium fees. Additional fees are charged for laboratory work in the science courses. By vote of the students the following additional annual fees are collected by the treasurer, one-half at the beginning of each term: Athletics for Men $10.00 Athletics for Women 6.00 Debate and Oratory 1.00 College Publications 5.5o For this students receive free admission to all games and contests held under college auspices, and free subscriptions to all college publications, including the college annual. All college fees are due on the day of registration. No student is admitted to class until all fees are paid or satisfactorily arranged for. No fees are returned except in case of sickness. Living Expenses for Men The young men of the college board in Cochran Hall, in fraternity chapter houses, cr in private families. The cost of board in Cochran Hall is $240 a year. This rate is subject to change without notice. The cost in chapter houses and pri- vate families, is as a rule ten to twenty-live per cent more. One-half the room rent in Cochran Hall is due and payable at the opening of the first term and one-half at the opening of the second term. A deposit fee cf ten dollars is required when the room is reserved. This fee will be deducted from the second half-year's payment, but is not returnable in case 66 OLD ALLEGHENY the student leaves the college. The rate for rocnis varies from fifty to one hundred dollars a year for each student. All rooms are to be surrendered not later than noon on Monday of Com- mencement Week. Residents in the men's dormitories make a deposit of ^10 at the beginning of the year to cover damage to buildings. The unused portion is returned at the end of the year. The amount for board in Cochran Hall is due as follows: $60 at the opening of the year; $60 on the second Monday in November; $60 at the opening of the second term; $60 on the third Monday in April. If the student has a room- mate the necessary expenses for the year will fall within the following estimates: Low Liberal Term and laboratory fees ... $200.00 $240.00 Room rent, fuel, light 50.00 100.00 Table Board 240.00 270.00 Books 1 5.00 40.00 Total $505.00 $650.00 Expenses other than those enumerated depend largely upon the student's tastes and habits, and the college does not un- dertake to estimate them. For the items mentioned the fig- ures given are exact. Few students will have occasion for spending more. This, of course, does not include traveling or personal ex.penses. An economical student can live on $5 50 a year. A circular detailing the expense of living in Cochran Hall will be sent on request. For Women Allegheny College is a cc-educational institution. It en- deavors to give young women the highest educational advan- tages open to young men. Instruction is given in the same subjects and by the same professors; and young women have access to all departments of the college, and are eligible to all honors. For students desiring to combine music with college work, opportunity for excellent instruction is afforded in the Pennsylvania College of Music. Hulings Hall — Young women not living at home or with relatives are required to live in Hulings Hall, The constant OLD ALLEGHENY 6/ aim is to furnish here an ideal college home for young women, where they shall be surrounded with influences which promote true and cultured womanhood. The Hall is under the charge of the Dean of Women, whose influence as well as that of her competent assistants, is constantly felt in the social, moral, and religious development of the young women under her care. For the .proper maintenance of the Hall as a college home for young women, certain specific rules are essential; but it is the policy of the college to make only such regulations as will best protect the interests of those who reside in the dormi- tory. The rules governing the conduct of the young women of Hulings Hall were carefully drawn up by the administration of the college and the Dean of Women, and by action of Faculty were entrusted to the Student Government Association of the Hall, which assumes the responsibility of the observance of all rules and regulations. Thus under the guidance of the Dean of Women and the Executive Board of the Associr.iion, ihe young women of the Hall are given individual and community responsibility for their conduct in college life. A copy of the regulations for government of the Hall will be sent on re- quest. The residents of the dormitory maintain in the building the services of a resident trained nurse. This valuable ad- dition to the hall life has been justified by the better condi- tions for health and comfort afforded the young women. For this purpose an assessment of a five-dollar house fee is made payable at the beginning of the year. The rooms are furnished with single beds, mattresses, .pil- lows, chairs and table. Each resident supplies the following articles: Sheets, pillow cases, bed covering, towels, and napkins. The rates by the year including board, room, heat and lights, are ^33 5 for each student. This rate is subject to change without notice. The rooms are all double, so that two students occupy each room. In case a student desires to room alone, there is an additional charge of $So. Bills are payable in four installments as follows: ^100 at the opening 68 OLD ALLEGHENY of the year, $8 5 on the second Monday of November, $8 5 at the opening of the second term, and $65 on the third Monday in April. A deposit fee of $10.00 is required when a room is reserved. This fee is credited on the last payment of the year, but is not returnable in case the student leaves the college. Courses of Instruction — By Departments In this detailed description of the courses of instruction the number of "hours" refer to the number of hour recita- tions weekly. Each term is eighteen weeks in length. All courses are offered yearly, except as especially noted. Any elective course may be withdrawn if not chosen by at least four students. Two hours of laboratory work are counted as equivalent to one recitation hour. Art None of the courses in Art are technical. They are di- rected to the foundation of correct judgment regarding art objects and an acquaintance with the more notable monuments of the art of civilized people as an index to their character and ideals. The instruction is mainly by lecture but much reading is required as well as close study of art objects in the originals or in reproduction. Astronomy The courses in this department are designed to acquaint the student with the great world of life in its different forms, functions and uses. Considerable attention is given to details in observation and to a comparative study of forms, thereby training the student to observe accurately and to think clearly and logically. The economic aspects of the subjects are con- sidered with the view of .presenting some of the great problems in the applied biological sciences. A Biological Club exists for advanced students. In the meetings reviews of current literature or of research work of the student are presented. OLD ALLEGHENY 69 Chemistry The courses offered by this department are intended to have both a cultural and technical value. The work has been organized as the result cf an endeavor to acquaint the stu- dent with the general and special principles of the work, to familiarize the worker with accurate methods of experimenta- tion, to develop the ability to observe critically and accurately, and make correct inferences, and finally, to provide suitable preliminary training for independent research work. Economics and iBusiness Administration The courses in this department are open to those who have completed a year's work in history or political science. Particular attention is given to the study of the development of economic life and institutions, American conditions being specifically analyzed. Students are familiarized with the ac- cepted principles of economics, and they are given a practical acquaintance with the .problems of complex economic organi- zation. Encouragement is also offered to individual research, with a view to possible future specialization. The instruction in the several courses is conducted by means of lectures and assigned reading in journals, periodicals and government docu- ments. Papers on to.pics assigned for investigation and com- parative examination of various authorities are required at dif- ferent stages of the work. Throughout the work in economics its close relationship to history and political science is im- pressed upon the student, and the work in these subjects is closely coordinated. Course I is required for admission to any of the other courses in this de.partment. Education The aim of this department is to give elementary instruc- tion in pedagogy, with special reference to secondary educa- tion. The courses offered together with Philosophy 1, II, III, IV and V, give the students ample opportunity to meet in full the requirements of the educational code of Pennsylvania for the Provisional Certificate. 70 OLD ALLEGHENY English Bible The work in this department is intended to open to the student the rich stores of literature contained in the Bible; to familiarize him with the history of the Hebrew peo.ple, their civilization, and their influence on the world; and to lead to the critical study of the spirit and form of Hebrew literature as it is shown in the English version. The English Bible is studied as a great monument of our literature and as the source of our knowledge of one of the great civilizations of the world. The courses do not touch questions of doctrine or belief. English Language and Literature This department aims to cultivate straight thinking and facility of ex.pression; to acquaint the student with the vari- ous fields of English writing from a historical standpoint; and to develop a genuine taste for good literature and the ability to interpret it. The formal study of composition is undertaken in Course I, but in all courses attention is given to correct expression, both oral and written. French Language and Literature It is the aim of the courses in this subject to give to the student; (1) an accurate knowledge of the language of the present time boith as written and s.poken; (2) an apprecia- tion of the more important masterpieces of the literature pro- portionate to the knowledge of the language; and (3) a knowl- edge of the historical development of the literature. The work as outlined above is carried on by means of recitations, written exercises, and essays, lectures in French, and collateral reading. Emphasis is laid from the beginning upon the ability of the student to express himself directly in the language. With this end in view the work of the class room is conducted in French, and phonetic methods are em- ployed in order to give accuracy of pronouncation. Geology Including Geography, Mineralogy and Paleontology. Geology deals with the constitution and history of the earth and the character, history and relationships of the de- OLD ALLEGHENY yi veloping life upon it. It explains many of the natural phe- nomena at hand, or that one meets in travel, and calls forth careful observation and clear thinking. The courses are planned to give thorough training in the principles of the sub- ject and a sound basis for future industrial, economic, or .pro- fessional work in its various departments. Greek Language and Literature The aim of this department is to give the student a prac- tical acquaintance with Greek life and thought. This can be adequately gained only through a first hand knowledge of the literature. By accurate work in the first years of the study of the language the student can acquire the ability to read widely and independently. Students entering college without Greek may take Greek A, and be prepared to enter the later courses with a mini- mum loss of time. It is realized that some students have been denied the op- portunity to secure a mastery of the language who would be glad to have something of the inspiration that comes from contact with Greek culture and institutions. For such the courses of Greek art, Greek history, and Greek literature in translation are available. The department .possesses a carefully selected collection of casts of antique sculpture, a considerable number of Greek vase fragments, about a thousand photographs, and several hundred lantern slides. History The aims of this department are to give that knowledge of the facts and philosophy of history which belongs to a lib- eral education, to equip the student for more advanced work in the historical and social sciences, and to prepare the stu- dent for journalism or for the study of law. With these ends in view the courses are so arranged as to cover a wide field of study in a thorough and orderly manner. The evolution of Euro.pean civilization from its sources, the growth and influ- ence of Anglo-Saxon institutions, the development of the Mod- ern European nations and of the United States are the general themes of the work. Especial emphasis is laid upon the ':J2 OLD ALLEGHENY Renaissance and Reformation, the Frencli Revolutionary and Napoleonic eras, and the development of the great European powers from the Congress of Vienna to the present time. The settlement and ex.pansion of the American colonies and the social, economical, and political evolution of the United States are given careful and detailed study. History is presented as a real educative process and the close connection between history, political science, and economics is constantly kept in mind, the work in these three subjects being closely coordi- nated. The department has the appropriate library author- ities for the several courses, and source materials are used where available. The method of instruction is a combination of lectures and is required for admission to the succeeding courses. Italian Language and Literature This department offers two courses in which a thorough study of the grammar is made and a good reading knowledge is obtained. The first year is devoted to an intensive study of the grammar and the reading of easy modern texts. In the second year a study is made of the older Italian classics. Latin Language and Literature The courses in the Latin de.partment are intended to di- rect the student to a systematic study of the language and its development, to acquaint him through a varied reading of the best authors with the leading features of the literature, and to make him familiar with the main facts of Roman history, life, and civilization. Technical grammar and composition are studied only in so far as they contribute to the comprehension of the language. The department is well equipped with books, maps, and fac-similes of inscriptions and has a good collection of photographs, lantern slides, and antiquities for illustrative purposes. The instruction is given by means of recitations, supple- mented by lectures and, in advanced courses, by individual work. Mathematics The courses in this department are arranged with a view to develop in the student a certain degree of mathematical ma- OLD A L L E G II E N ^■ ;73 turity and to familiarize him with the subject matter and methods of mathematical work, as well as to provide for the more or less technical and traditional requirements in the dif- - ferent mathematical subjects. Philosophy The courses of the department are planned with the fol- lowing purpose: to bring about reflective views of human so- ciety and the world order; to establish an attitude toward life and its .problems that will make the individual an efficient fac- tor in promoting and conserving the welfare of his fellowmen; to lead the student to a better understanding of the laws of human nature, and to a critical study of himself; and to ac- quaint those desiring it with laboratory methods in psychology. The standpoint is in strict accord with the assured results of scientitic research. Facts are brought together from the various fields of science, and presented in such a way as to produce breadth of vision in the interpretation of natural and social phenomena. Physics This department otTers courses which contribute to gen- eral culture, and those which give training for technical work. They are presented by means of lectures with experimental demonstrations, combined with recitations and discussions of .problems. In addition the student performs experiments in the laboratory for the purpose of obtaining a practical knowl- edge of the fundamental laws and principles of science. Political Science The courses in this field are planned so that emphasis is laid upon the organization and functions of national, state, and local governments in the United States, with the two-fold purpose of .preparing students for the privileges and responsi- bilities of citizenship, and of familiarizing them with a con- crete example of government as a foundation for the more advanced theoretical work in the nature and functions of the state in general. These courses are devoted to government and modern political problems, and one course is offered on 74 OLD ALLEGHENY the general principles of political science. There are also courses in constitutional law and international law. Public Speaking The courses in .public spealcing are designed to train the student in the composition and delivery of the various forms of public address. So far as possible, the work is adjusted to 'the particular needs of the individual student. Spanish Language and Literature This department offers two courses in which a thorough study is made of the grammar. A good reading knowledge is obtained. Concurrent with the present trend of things, con- siderable attention is given the study of practical Spanish, in- cluding familiarization with commercial language. Attention is also given to conversational work. Surveying and Graphics The courses in surveying and graphics are based largely on the needs of the civil engineer and draughtsman. The work is scientific and yet thoroughly practical in its scope and methods. While these courses are provided for students tak- ing B. S. Group IV, they are open as electives to all students. Chapel Exercises Chapel services are held each morning and all students are required to be present. Regular attendance on Sunday morn- ings at some church, selected by the student, or his parents, is also expected. Prayer meetings are held on Wednesday evenings of each week. The results are manifest in the quick- ening and strengthening of many in the religious life. The Young Men's Christian Association and the Young Women's Christian Association are active and efficient organ- izations. Bible study classes and a mission study class are well attended. The religious influence of the college is not in any sense sectarian, but Christian. On the rolls this year are represen- tatives from sixteen Christian denominations. OLD ALLEGHENY 75 Summer Session The Summer Session of Allegheny College will be held every week day for the six weeks. For each course two term hours credit will he given which will count toward a degree. For each entrance course one-half unit will be allowed, unless otherwise specified. The plan of the summer school is to give work that will meet primarily the needs of the three following classes of students: (l) teachers who may desire a better training for their work in the class room, or who are preparing to pass examinations required for the various teachers' certificates; (2) college students who may desire to obtain advance college credits or to remove conditions, and even high school students desiring to remove entrance conditions for admission to the college; (3) any person who may desire to enter the courses for the purpose of self-improvement. No requirements are necessary for admission, exce.pt that each professor will satisfy himself that the candidate is qualified to be admitted to his course. Instruction will be given for the most part by the heads of the various departments. The courses will include the languages, the sciences, mathematics, history, psychology, and education. A bulletin of the summer session detailing the various courses is published about A.pril l each year, and will be sent on application. Financial Status The wonderful financial development of Allegheny can only be understood by reading her history of the past century. In the past twenty-five years her endowment has jum-ped from a meagre ^10,000 to approximately $1,000,000. Her buildings, equipment, and general property have made marked increase. An approximate statement of the present financial standing of Allegheny College is as follows: Plant Assets — Campus $ 142,000 Buildings 680,000 76 OLD ALLEGHENY Library 60,000 Laboratories 21,000 Museum 100,000 Furniture 25,000 Total ^1,028,000 Endowment — Productive $ 950,482 Un.productive 100,000 Total Endowment $1,050,482 Tctal Assets 2,078,482 Total Expenditures 1919-1920 (in- cluding dining halls — not includ- ing building funds) Appromixate total expenditures $ 127,000 Note: — This estimate is based upon values in normal times. During the years 1920-21 5o percent should be added to above figures. PART II STUDENT LIFE AND ACTIVITY When we speak of Allegheny traditions, we think of the events which have happened in the .past and which have left their mark on the future. Student life at the present time does not differ greatly from student life in years gone by. The same pranks are played and if not the same pranks the same spirit prevails. The old political rivalry has long since died out. Many were the episodes connected with the rivalry between the sup- porters of the old Democratic and Whig parties, the Alleghen- ians and the Philo-Franklin members. Student opinion has gained expression in Allegheny since times before the Civil War. The method of expression has not always been of the best nor has the opinion expressed been of the wisest. Anonymous publications and pam.phlets have been issued since 185 5, in which, students, faculty, and town OLD ALLEGHENY "J"] folks have been ridiculed and roasted. Human nature seems to repeat itself, generation after generation, and yet, after read- ing a copy of the "Thunderbclt" of June 29, 1859, it is pos- sible to see considerable improvement in the conduct of the present day scholars. Of late years, the spirit has been ex- emplitled in a small pam.phlet called the "Pandora". A wise reader may unravel many unspoken truths in the expression of these usually worthless publications. The tlrst representative college publication to be issued was the Campus, in 18 76, the staff of which was composed of one member of each of the three up.per classes. The freshmen of the class of 1887 resenting their neglect, attempted and suc- ceeded to some extent, in offering competition to the Campus by the publication of the Owl. The management of the Campus is no longer a private undertaking, but is regulated by com- petition and student election. Fraternity "rings" are now, as before, important factors in these elections; a regrettable fea- ture. The publication of the Literary Monthly in 1896, took root from this hostility to fraternity control. Its further .pur- pose was to promote literary ability. Like the Campus its staff is chosen on the competitive basis. The Kaldron, pub- lished in 1908, followed the earlier and parent publication, "The Alleghenian", founded in 1889. Formerly this annual was controlled and published by the fraternities. However, it too, has come under the elective roll. "The Pregtonian", a publication of the Alden Preparatory School, was interest- ing, but like the school itself, short lived. There have been many literary societies in the past which have for the most part gone out of existence. The Allegheny Society was the first to be organized, in 1820. In 1834 the Philo-Franklin Society came into existence and still forges ahead. The Ossoli Society for women organized in 1870 and the Athenian in 1877 are no longer active. A wonderful development has taken place in athletics in the past thirty years. Military drill, the tlrst advancement along the line of physical training was soon superseded by the baseball epidemic in the sixties. In 1880 the first ath- letic association was founded and not until 1891 was the first baseball trip taken. After a long siege of neglect interest in 78 OLD ALLEGHENY baseball is once more reviving. Football was not in actual existence until 1899. It has been maintained steadily since that time. Basket ball, the stronghold in Allegheny athletics has since 1903 produced winning teams. Track teams came into existence with the early field meets. However, Allegheny could not at that time support four of the main branches of athletics and track was dropped, not to be taken up again until the failure of baseball. Our track teams have all been good winners. The social life of old Allegheny stands for the highest educational, social development of man. The numerous or- ganizations and the varied activities oflFer unlimited oppor- tunity for training. Annual Y. W. and Y. M. C. A. receptions for the freshman class oflfer an excellent opportunity to get acquainted. "Hello" day is a later innovation. It serves as an informal way of becoming acquainted among the students. Class rivalry is brought to a climax in the Washington Birth- day Banquet, in which each class endeavors to outstrip the others in friendly jests, songs, and costumes. The So.pho- more-Senior Banquet held in some nearby town is a never failing occurence and seldom do the chagrined Frosh and Juniors find the banqueters in time to stop their merriment. The possibilities for roughness on the occasion make it im- possible for the ladies to attend. Organ recitals. Glee club concerts, and especially arranged series of lectures are given in the college chapel. The John C. Sturtevant Memorial Foundation, a gift of ^5,000 for a lec- tureship foundation aids greatly in this line. College plays are given by both the men and the women of the college. The different organizations make things interesting by bringing prominent speakers before the student body. Oratorical con- tests are annual events. Fraternities and clubs hold their parties throughout the year always under faculty su.pervision. Of late years, danc- ing has been permitted. Never has a better social spirit pre- vailed in Allegheny than today. For the past three years the Junior Promenade has taken a leading place. The Saeger- town Inn and the Riverside of Cambridge oflFer excellent ad- vantages for small gatherings and party dinners. Commence- OLD ALLEGHENY 79 ment is accompanied witli tlie usual number of class reunions, receptions and addresses. At this time the fraternities hold their annual alumni banquets. Moving Up Day is the occasion a scene of a lively parade through the streets of Meadville, and of general merry making. The activities of the freshman and so'phomore classes are the soccer football game, obstacle race, tug-of-war, and tie-up. The winner is chosen by points. The poster scrap, held near the opening of college is now under student super- vision. This takes the place of the old-time poster posting on the buildings of the town. It is not unusual in this day, to see an unusually fresh "frosh" come to cha'pel on a bright morning, shorn of his hair. This practice will soon be aban- doned. A printed copy of "regulations" governing the fresh- man class is regularly distributed among newcomers, by the Student Senate, obedience being strictly enforced by the up- per classmen. CLUBS Classical Club The Classical Club, the first of the departmental clubs of Allegheny College, was established in 1897. The club has been, from the beginning, an organization primarily of stu- dents and most of the work has been done by undergraduates, with the advice and assistance of faculty members. The pur- pose of the club has been to promote a closer acquaintance and co-operation among its members and a greater devotion to sound scholarship. The nature of the club's activities jias been research and study of history, literature and art of Greece and Rome. Ty^pical subjects discussed in meetings are, "Pompeii of Today and Yesterday", "the Olympic Games" and "Demosthenes as an Orator". The club room, on the second floor of the Library, has been tastefully equipped with casts, pictures and book cases and is used by classical students of the upper classes At the beginning of this, its twenty-third year, the club is in flourishing condition, returning a full measure of profit and pleasure. 80 O L D A L L E G II E N Y The Quill Club The Quill Club was organized in the spring of 1899 with the double purpose of stimulating and censoring press corre- spondence in the interest of Allegheny College, and of en- couraging the productions of material for the two college pub- lications. Membership is strictly elective, being given for ap- .preciative literary ability. In 1908 the club took up its pres- ent quarters in the Library. One of the recent innovations of the Club has been the bringing to Allegheny of modern poets and literary leaders. Seumas MacManus, Vachel Lindsay, probably best known for his poem "The Congo", and Harriet Monroe, editor of "Poetry" and herself an excellent writer, have been the guests of the club and college. The club is now twenty-one years old and is celebrating its coming of age by adopting a new constitution that will strengthen its organization and make it an even more valuable factor in the life of the New Allegheny. Le Petit Salon "Le Petit Salon est assemble pour la .premiere fois le 30 Octobre, l9ll. On a elu les otiicers suivants: President, Mile. Ling; Secretaire, Mile. Peck; Treasurer, Mile. Prenatt." These few lines from the minutes of the first meeting of Le Petit Salon record the founding of one of the most interest- ing and active of the departmental clubs on the Hill. The club meets twice a month: the first meeting of the month is in a strict sense, the regular meeting of Le Petit Salon; the second meeting is held in conjunction with L' Alli- ance Francaise. Membership is limited to thirty students ma- joring, or especially interested in French. Each year, aside from the elaborate programs of the meet- ings, it is the policy of the Le Petit Salon to give a French play, to which the entire college is invited. These plays have never failed to arouse general college interest. Modern Problems Club For some time prior to 1912 students and instructors in the departments of History and Economics felt the need of a society whose meetings should be devoted primarily to dis- OLD ALLEGHENY 8l cussions upon topics of historical interest or of current polit- ical, economics, or social importance. This need resulted in the formation of the Modern Problems Club with twenty-one charter members. Membership is confined to men who are majoring in History or Economics, and to those prominent in some allied activity such as varsity debate. The usual prac- tice is only to elect men of the two u>pper classes or of grad- uate rank. Each fall a junior is elected chairman of the Program Com- mittee. The next year this man automatically becomes presi- dent of the club. Through its affiliation with the Internation- al Relations Club, the Modern Problems Club is able to secure fine material dealing with current subjects of public interest, and occasionally to bring speakers of note to address its meet- ings This branch of the Modern Problems Club is under the supervision of the vice-president. Meetings are held monthly, on the fourth Thursday even- ing. Every other meeting is a banquet, and in every meeting an effort is made to present such a program as may be of in- terest and of profit to the student in its bearing upon his life as a citizen. The Tingley Biology Club Among those clubs on the Hill which have justified their existence, and which have lived up to the high-sounding clauses in their constitutions, is the Tingley Biology Club, founded in 19 17. In order to give the members an actual chance to carry out the plans of the club, meetings are held every two weeks, instead of once a month as is the case with most of the departmental clubs. The first meetings of the month are devoted to a program on some phase of nature or scientific study. The second meet- ing of each month takes the form of a cross-country hike to some tpoint of interest in the Meadville district. On such oc- casions, specimens are collected for the college museum, and a study made of the plant and animal life which comes under observation. Attention is also paid to geological formations. Members are elected by ballot and are generally chosen from those students majoring in biology. 82 OLD ALLEGHENY The Thoburn Club In the year of our Lord one thousand nine hundred and seven, on the first Friday in October, the Thoburn Club was born. Its infancy began, not in surroundings which were im- pediments to its growth, but in the idealistic atmosphere creat- ed by such men as Dr. Camden M. Cobern, President Wm. H. Crawford and other influential men of the college. The club grew by leaps and bounds. C. A. Hastings was elected the first president. Dr. Cobern, who the year previous had been elected to the chair of English Bible, gave his help- ful support and the organization came rapidly to the front in college activities. The purpose of the club is to give to the embryo preacher, the missionary volunteer, the Y. M. C. A. worker an oppor- tunity to other helpful ideas which sooner or later can be .put into practice either at home or on the foreign field. This club also brings to the college every year a number of lecturers in such subjects as would naturally appeal to the young men who are interested in the moral and spiritual uplift of humanity. It works shoulder to shoulder with the Young Men's Chris- tian Association and is in close alliance with the Thoburn Chair of English Bible and Philosophy of Religion. Since nine- teen hundred and seven it has been a very strong force in the religious activities of the college. The Dutton Society of Applied Science The Dutton Society is composed of the instructors and students in the department of mathematics and surveying. Meetings are held every two weeks for the purpose of dis- cussing problems and current events in the field of applied science. Interesting technical papers are often .presented. Trips are m.ade quite frequently to scenes where construction work is going on in the vicinity of Meadville. All members hold membership in the American Association of Engineers, and it is planned to hold part of the meetings in connection with the local chapter of that organization. The Block A Club . One of the most important organizations in college and one to which every student desires to belong is the Block OLD ALLEGHENY 83 A Club. To this organization belong the men who have won their A's by upholding Allegheny's name on the gridiron, the basketball tloor or on the cinder path. The purpose of the Block A Club is to bring athletes closer together, socially and athletically; to co-O'perate with the authorities of the college in securing equipment; to en- courage men of athletic calibre to come to Allegheny; to foster a live athletic spirit in the college; and in general to take an ac- tive interest in all vital questions pertaining to athletics. The home of the club is naturally in the gymnasium where the trophy room has been set aside for the use of the mem- bers of the club. To wear a gold A in the lapel of his coat is therefore the dream of every freshman who enters Allegheny. Eaglesmere Club The organization of the Eaglesmere Club places Allegheny in line with the leading colleges and universities of Pennsyl- vania, Ohio, West Virginia, Delaware and Maryland, in sum- mer conference activity. The membership includes the girls who attend the East-Central Field Y. W. C. A. Conference at Eaglesmere Park. Twentieth Century Club For a long time a need was felt among Allegheny College women for promoting an interest in current events and mod- ern day problems. So in the spring of I9l6 a petition was .presented to the faculty of Allegheny College for permission to form a Current Events Club. The organization is somewhat similar to the Modern Prob- lems Club among the men. In the words of the constitution "the aim of the Twentieth Century Club shall be the promo- tion of an interest in, and an intimate knowledge of modern topics, such as present day literature, world politics, investi- gations in sciences and sociological problems". This organization which started with a great amount of enthusiasm and twenty-six members, of whom thirteen were charter members, has continued to grow until it now has a membership of forty. 84 OLD ALLEGHENY The Twentieth Century Club fills the purpose of its foun- ders when it gives to the women of Allegheny College train- ing in the expression of opinion u.pon modern and current subjects. The Masonic Club The Masonic Club was organized in the fall of 1919 by the college students who were members of the Masonic Order. All Masons who are students are eligible to membership and the faculty members are ex-ofiicio members. The objects of the club are to further the interests of Masonry among the student members and to bind them to ties of closer friendship. The club holds numerous social events during the year in the form of smokers and dancing .parties. It is an institution similar to those established in many of the larger schools of the country. Overseas Club Realizing that something should be done to penpetuate the memory of their comrades who fell on the battlefields of France, the overseas veterans of the World War who returned to college in the fall of I9l9 organized themselves into a group which became known as the Overseas Club of Allegheny College. In order to make the organization a permanent in- stitution in Allegheny, the club has drafted a plan, whereby after the college year 1920-1921, membership will be elective without reference to overseas service with the land or naval forces of the United States. Accordingly, the club decided to build, in the form of an open-air theatre, a memorial to the Allegheny men who "paid the price" for their country. The work has been placed in the hands of committees. It is intended that the memorial shall be completed by 1923. It will be located at the south- ern end of the cam.pus ravine. The club has taken its stand with the American Legion in promoting the national observation of Armistice Day. Socially, the club is energetic, efficient, and thorough. OLD ALLEGHENY 8$ MUSICAL AND DRAMATIC CLUBS Girls' Glee Club The first move for the organization of a Girls' Glee Club in Allegheny College occurred October 21, 1911, when the matter was brought before the girls by the president of the Student Senate. The purpose of the organization was to give concerts on various occasions. A committee appointed for the purpose, decided that tryouts should be given under the super- vision of a com.petent director, the girls to be chosen solely on merit. On November 25, the club was formed with an enrollment of fifty-five members. The constitution drawn up by the com- mittee was read and approved. The marked success of the first concert given at the Stone Church in May 4, 1912, assured the future success of the club. The success which proclaimed the initial appearance of the girls has remained with them. Two concerts have been given each year, one in the fall, and one in the spring. Here- tofore, the concerts have always consisted of selections by the club featured by solos, but this year, a change has been made in that an operetta was produced. This proved to be a suc- cessful innovation, and the precedent will probably be fol- lowed in the future. Men's Glee Club The Glee Club has always a most prominent place in the social, musical life of Allegheny College. Its constant en- deavor has been to represent the college in the best possible manner. The club has been composed of four parts, each part aver- aging five or six men. A reader chosen on the competition basis has always been a prime factor in the organization. The Mandolin and Guitar Clubs have aided in giving a diversified program. Two concerts are usually given at home. Tri.ps often cov- ering three and four days, are made within a radius of one hundred and fifty miles of Meadville. The repertoire of the club has been of the highest stand- 86 OLD ALLEGHENY ard, consisting of classical, secular, religious, humorous, negro and patriotic selections. Klee-O-Kleet Klee-0-KIeet, the young women's dramatic club, is a semi- secret, invitational society. The purpose of the club is to arouse and maintain dramatic interest among the women of the college, and to present one play each year. Competition for a part on the cast is open to all, but the membership of the society itself is limited to fifteen girls cf the senior and junior classes, who are re.presentative college girls, or noted for dramatic and managerial ability. Duzer Du Duzer Du is a semi-secret invitational organization, elec- tion to which is based on histrionic or managerial ability. The organization was founded in 1909 by nine members: Mr. W. G. Pixel, '10, was the first president. Since its or- ganization the club has produced ten plays, one each year. Due to the war, no plays were given in the years, 1917-18. The College Band An organization which takes a very prominent place in the life at Allegheny, is the College Band. It plays at all of the basket ball and football games, track meets, and college func- tions, and is always willing to lead the parades, and college demonstrations. Membership is open to all students, the .places on the band being filled by competition. Practices are held regularly and each player is compelled to keep up v/ith the work in every detail. The Mandolin Club One of the newest organizations on the Hill is the Man- dolin Club. In the years gone by, Allegheny has always taken a fore- most interest in music, her Glee Club has been of the best. She has had some very good Mandolin Clubs. However, this part of the musical life has never gained the desired perma- nency. OLD ALLEGHENY 87 The Mandolin Club of 1920-21 seems to have come to stay. Expert instruction is given the men who try out, mem- bership being based upon ability. St. Cecelia Club In the spring of 1919, a new musical club was formed at Allegheny. Its character was quite different from any other in that its members had to be vocal or instrumental soloists. The club was called the St. Cecelia Club in honor cf St. Ce- celia, the patron saint of music. The purpose of the club was to give concerts or musical he!.p whenever called upon. The membership was limited to fifteen and only juniors and sen- iors admitted. Its first concert was given in the spring of 1920 for the purpose of raising money for the Y. W. C. A. The outlook for the club is bright and it promises to be one of the most successful organizations in the college. ORGANIZATIONS The Women's Student Government The matter of securing discipline and good government in a student body has been quite simply solved at Allegheny Col- lege; for the establishment of the Women's Student Senate has proven a decided success. It is the purpose of the organization to foster and main- tain college customs and traditions, to govern the conduct of the women students (whenever it shall reflect upon the name of Allegheny), and to promote good relations between faculty and students. To this Women's Senate the college authorities intrust the management of all those matters concerning the conduct of the women students in their college life that are not strictly academic or that are not hereinafter exempt from such jurisdiction. The Men's Senate Soon after school opened in I9l6 certain men of the senior class drew up a constitution for a Senate. The con- 88 OLD ALLEGHENY stitution met the approval of the students and in the s.pring of I9l7 the faculty gave their approval. The constitution as adopted provided for a Senate of seven members four of whom were to be seniors, two juniors and one sophomore. The Senate was composed entirely of men since the women already had their own organization. In cases involving both the men and women of the college the two Sen- ates were to meet together. The Men's Senate today super- vises elections, guards college traditions, enforces the honor system and co-operates with the Discipline Committee of the faculty in matters of student discipline. It is to the credit of the students of Allegheny themselves that the Senate has been so successful in all that it has undertaken. The Y. W. C. A. The Y. W. C. A. of Allegheny College is closely allied with the national organization. Similar to the latter, the Y. W. keeps in touch with every phase of life pertaining to the young women and endeavors to promote an unselfish, democratic, re- lationship among them. The work of the local Y. W. C. A. covers a broad field, capably handled by the various departments and committees. To keep in closer communication with the national Y. W. C. A. the conference committee sends delegates to the annual con- vention at Philadelphia, to the Eaglesmere Conference, and to such other conventions as may be called during the year. The high ideals of the Association and the co-operative spirit v/hich it encourages makes the Y. W. C. A. the most important organization in the college world. Its firm belief in the simplicity and honesty of human fellowship, and the enthusiasm with which it labors so unceasingly to maintain its ideals and to instill them into the minds and hearts of the new girls just entering college, render the Y. W. C. A. a most potent factor in the production of the new woman with her clear vision and her eagerness for helping humanity. The Student Volunteer Band The Student Volunteer Movement of North America is rep- resented in Allegheny College by the Student Volunteer Band. OLD ALLEGHENY 89 This organization is composed of a grou.p of men and women of the college who have definitely stated their intention to spend their lives as foreign missionaries. It is, of course, realized that many of the volunteers, for various reasons, never reach the field. However, every member enters, with that purpose in mind. The plan of the Student Volunteer Band in Allegheny College is to exalt Christian standards in college life, to study the needs and problems of mission lands, and to present to students the opportunity for useful Christian work. Thus op.portunity is given to both those who are members, and those who are not, to meet and study missionary work. The moral ideal of consecrated life service is constantly kept in mind. Y. M. C. A. In searching through the annals of Allegheny we find the first mention of the Young Men's Christian Association in 187 5. The catalogue for the year 1875-76 gives a brief sketch of the Y. M. C. A. and states its purpose as, "an active organization of the Christian young men of the college for purposes of personal improvement and direct assistance in religious meet- ings which may be held in the churches of the city or sur- rounding country". The Y. M. C. A. held its meetings first in Bentley Hall then in the oratory of the Chapel, after it was built, and later when Cochran Hall was built, moved to its present location. Neighborhood work was ra.pidly developed in the first few years. Services were held in the county jail every Sunday morning, Sunday Schools were started in the old frame build- ing in Valonia, and in the Reisinger school house at Baldwin street. In 1900 the Reisinger school was given up. The first Student Handbook was published by Dr. Elliott in 1890 and has been continued almost without interruption ever since. These handbooks are distributed free of charge to the incoming freshmen. The first meetings beginning in 1887 were held in the chapel and were for both men and women. They were led, for the most part, by members of the faculty. In 1897 or '98 the women started holding their own meetings and then in 1900, the faculty withdrew and the stu- dents have conducted their own services since that time. 90 OLD ALLEGHENY In 1919-20 the college employed a general secretary, the Reverend Samuel L. Maxwell, an alumnus of the college, and a chaplain in the navy. During that year the Y. M. C. A. en- joyed the most prosperous year of its existence. The Y fills a very important -place in the life of the school. It is the one place where all the men of the school may meet together on a common footing to discuss problems that con- cern them or the school and to have a jolly good time. The association meetings are not in any sense prayer meetings alone, but meetings at which all will feel free to talk and no one to be embarrassed in any way. At times professors are asked to take charge of the meetings, and in other instances well known business and professional men of the city or sur- rounding cities have given vocational talks. The social life of the college is contributed to by the Y in the annual Y. M.-Y. W. reception to the new students. This reception is given early in the school year. STUDENT PUBLICATIONS The Campus The one-hundredth anniversary of American Independence, 1876, is memorable in the journalistic life of Allegheny College as the date of the establishment of The Campus, the weekly news-paper of student life en the Hill. Every phase of college life is thoroughly aired in the columns of this breezy sheet. Although the immediate policy of The Campus varies from year to year, depending on the in- dividual policy of the editor, in its general policy, The Campus has never failed to give full support to all worthy student ac- tivities, and through its columns many changes and reforms have been advocated which have later been embodied in the conduct of the college. In short, it performs all the functions of a well edited and thoroughly organized college news.paper. Members of The Campus staff receive practical training in the fundamentals of newspaper work, and many former staff members have risen to journalistic prominence. Positions on the staff are on a competitive basis. OLD ALLEGHENY 9I The Kaldron To the class of '89 belongs the credit of starting this an- nual. Acting on the suggestion of William McNair, Jr., the class voted early in its junior year to be responsible for such a publication and entrusted the work to a board of edi- tors of whom McNair was chosen chairman. F. C. Howe and C. C. Laffer were two of the three business managers and among the other editors was W. A. Elliott. The book appeared in June '88 and made a real sensation in the then small col- lege world. It was bound in white and gold the class colors. The class of '90 followed the lead of their rivals and published their Kaldron in June 1889. For various reasons the tpublica- tion of such a book by the junior classes was not satisfactory and the work was taken up by the fraternities. A Board of Control, one member from each of the fraternities, elected the editorial and business staff. Gradually the support and co- operation of the non-fraternity students were sought and they were given representation on the board of editors. The 1906 Kaldron bears on its title page the words Compiled by a Board of Editors! published by the Fraternities. In 1910 a system was put into operation whereby those students who made an advance -payment on the Kaldron for the current year voted for members of an Electoral Board, which in turn chose the editors and the business managers. This system continued until replaced by the creation of the Publications Board having direction of the Kaldron, Campus, and Literary Monthly. Only once since June 1888 has the Kaldron failed to ap- pear about Commencement time. That was in the year, I9l7. This lapse was atoned for the following year, when a double volume was published. At intervals some system of censorship or faculty su'pervis- ion an advisory committee has been in effect but for the most part the book has been the result of unfettered student ex- pression and enterprise. With very few exceptions the editors have justified the confidence given them and have put out a book worthy of Old Allegheny. Literary Monthly. The Allegheny Literary Monthly was founded in October, 1896, in answer to the need of an organ to express and en- 92 OLD ALLEGHENY courage the literary production of the college. Its two-fold purpose as laid down in the tirst editorial, was the fostering of the literary ability of the students and maintenance of the in- terest of the alumni in their Alma Mater. The early volumes of the magazine contained many articles from the alumni. The poetry was commendable but there was a lack of fiction. The alumni feature has been largely abandoned in late years on account of a lack of support by the graduates; fiction of the short story ty-pe and humorous productions have been more and more encouraged. Before the adoption of the budget system for the college publication in 1920 the Monthly had an uphill struggle for existence; for this reason some cf the volumes were irregular in appearance and incomplete in number of issues, especially during the war years. With the budget system these causes of criticism should be removed and the greatly enlarged circula- tion has resulted in a marked increase of interest among the student body. The choice of editors is competitive and acts as an incentive to literary effort and encourages the journalistic talent of the college. The Student's Manual The Student's Manual, or, as it is familiarly known, The Freshman Bible, is a yearly handbook of Allegheny. A board appointed by the Y. M. C. A. and Y. W. C. A. issues the little book just before school opens for the fall term. It is given free to all new students. The book is paid for by advertise- ments. ORATORY AND DEBATE Oratorical Association The entire field of oratory and debate in Allegheny Col- lege is supported and controlled by the Oratorical Association of which every student is a member. The various forms of oratory and debate controlled by the association are the Philo- Franklin Forum, the Philo-Franklin Oratorical Contest, the Wakefield Oratorical Contest, the Intercollegiate Oratorical OLD ALLEGHENY 93 Contest, the Freshman-Sophomore Debate, the Intercollegiate Debates, and the Extemporaneous Speaking Contests. Philo-Franklin Forum The man who has a college education but can not make a speech is like a man who has a bank account but can not get a check cashed. It is the work of the Forum to "identify" the Allegheny man — to train him to speak in .public — so that he can take a leading place in his professional or commercial world. One of the phenomena of our modern American life is the multiplication of societies and associations with their annual conventions and conferences and their more frequent local meetings. There is probably not one trade, profession or in- dustry that does not have at least one such society or associa- tion, and the men who can speak at all is eagerly sought after to take a part in the proceedings. He at once becomes a leader among his associates. The news.papers have not re- duced the demand for public speakers but rather have multi- plied the size of the audiences, for those who do not hear the speech will read it in a newspaper the next morning or in the next number of the association's magazine. In one technical school the students in architecture are re- quired to study public speaking as well as design so that they can not only make good plans but also have them adopted. The Philo-Franklin Forum is the successor of the Philo- Franklin Literary Society which was founded in 183 4 "to realize the good, the true and the beautiful". (Kaldron 1890). The last notice given to the society by the Kaldron was in 1906. The first attention given to the Forum by the Kaldron was in 1908 where we find this brief mention (page 133): The Forum Under the efficient direction of Professor Brown the Forum promotes interest in debate and public address. A speaker presides over each succeeding meeting. The work of the Forum as now carried on centers about debate, extemporaneous speaking and parliamentary procedure; frequently the program provides for all three. The members 94 OLD ALLEGHENY may resolve themselves into congress or a legislature; then a would-be 'party leader introduces a measure; it is spiritedly de- bated by men previously selected by Dr. Swartley, after which extemporaneous speeches are made by those present; then if the opponents cf the measure are not too skillful in sidetrack- ing the measure by parliamentary methods it may be passed. Some meetings are given over entirely to a study of the Rules of Order. The first meeting of each year is open to all men; those wishing to become members may tile ap'plications for member- ship with the secretary any time after that. Intercollegiate Debating Intercollegiate debating at Allegheny dates from April 14, 1898, when Allegheny supported the negative side of the proposition "that Hawaii should be annexed to the United States". Bucknell University supported the affirmative and lost. The contest was held in the Court House under the auspices of the Baraca Union of the local Ba.ptist church. Allegheny now engages in at least cne intercollegiate de- bate each year. This has in recent years been in the form of a triangular debate generally with the University of Pitts- burg, and Wooster University. Each college has an atiirmative and a negative team; the affirmative team stays at home and the negative goes away; three debates are thus held simul- taneously at the three colleges. Washington and Jefferson College and Ohio University are frequent participants in the triangular debates. Allegheny's success in debating has been due in large part to the support given by Delta Sigma Rho, to the training given by the Philo-Franklin Forum, the Freshman-Sophomore De- bate, and to the special coaching given by the Faculty Ora- torical Committee. Wakefield Oratorical Contest Of the two oratorical contests held at Allegheny the Wake- field is generally considered the more important the prize be- ing larger (fifty dollars) and eligibility to -participate being limited to sophomores, juniors and seniors. The money for OLD ALLEGHENY 95 the prize has been given each year by James Alfred Wakefield, an alumnus of the college of the class of '90. About three weeks before the contest the eligible students submit orations to a committee of judges that select from among those sub- mitted the best six. These are then delivered on the night of the contest in Ford Memorial Chapel. The orations are about twelve minutes in length. The winner not only has won dis- tinction and a prize of considerable value but he also then has the privilege of representing the college in the Intercollegiate Oratorical Contest. Intercollegiate Oratorical Contest The first intercollegiate oratorical contest in which Alle- gheny participated was held at Chautauqua, New York, en July 27, 1888. Five colleges were entered against Allegheny but Frank A. Cattern won the prize of one hundred dollars; his subject was "American Feudalism". Dr. J. M. Buckley, editor of the New York Christian Advocate, presided. The Kaldron of 1890 gives a very gra.phic description how the Allegheny students who were present (there were several rows of them in one section of the auditorium) celebrated the victory by cheering the victor and then bearing him away in triumph. They took a steam yacht and sailed up and down the lake wildly cheering and astonishing the staid citizens on the shore who of course were not so intensely interested. Allegheny has had her share of victories but one at least deserves special men- tion. In 1902 Robert Freeman wen honor for himself and the college when he won the contest in Meadville against repre- sentatives from six other colleges. The association has included various colleges at different times but those that now participate are Colgate, University of Pittsburgh, Ohio Wesleyan University, University of Woo- ster and Allegheny College. Freshman-Sophomore Debate The annual debate between the freshmen and sophomores gives the under classmen a chance to show which class is superior when it comes to handling convincing arguments. It also develo'ps material for the varsity teams. The first debate between the under classmen was in the fall of I9l6. A ban- 96 OLD ALLEGHENY ner has been placed in the Library and each year the winning class has its numerals added to those of the .previous winners. Philo-Franklin Oratorical Contest The Philo-Franklin Oratorical Contest is held each spring sometime before the Wakefield Contest. Members of the Forum are eligible to compete. The two prizes of $\S and 510 are derived from funds given the Philo-Franklin Literary Society (1834-1890). Many men make their first appearance before a college audience when they appear in this contest. Recent Additions During the past year attention has been turned to the ex- tem.poraneous speaking contest. The contest for the men con- sisted of two parts; first, there were six declamations (pre- pared in advance), then extemporaneous speeches by six other men who had received notice of the subject only, an hour previous. The contest for the young women was conducted in a similar manner. ATHLETICS The Athletic Association Athletics in Allegheny College, are fostered and maintained by an organization known as the Allegheny College Athletic Association. This organization is composed of the students and faculty members, every student automatically becoming a member upon registration, and payment of the regular athletic fee. A card is issued to every student wh'.ch entitles him to admission to all athletic meets held during the year. The officers of the association consist of a president, sec- retary, treasurer, and a delegate-at-large. The .president and delegate-at-large are chcsen from the seniors, and the secre- tary from the juniors or seniors by a general college election of the men of the student body. The treasurer is a faculty member of the Athletic Committee and is elected by the Ath- letic Council. The Athletic Board, or what may be styled the executive council of the Athletic Association, has charge of the arrange- OLD ALLEGHENY 97 ment of schedules, control of finances and the general super- vision of the athletic policy of the school. It is composed of the faculty committee on athletics and gymnastics, together with the president, secretary, and delegate-at-large of the Ath- letic Association and the managers of the various parts. It is the duty of this board to carry out the provisions of the constitution of the Athletic Association, to approve all games and contracts, to award Block A's, to supervise the ex- penditure of the athletic funds and in general to exercise su.per- vision over the athletic interests of the college. Managers of all major sports are elected on competitive basis by a board for the Selection of Managers, composed of various members of the Athletic Council. Competitors are assigned various tasks during their period of trial and are finally selected for their efficiency, ability, conduct and spirit displayed. Captains of the athletic teams are elected by the members of the teams. All men who have partici.pated in half of the games of the last half of the season are eligible for vote for captain unless debarred by the Athletic Council for misconduct. Physical Training The object of this department is to promote health, insure the strength and secure the symmetrical development of the students. Physical measurements are taken upon entrance, and at other times throughout the college course. These determine the needs of the student and the training necessary for his welfare. Instead of the old system of class drill and exercise, a new system has been instituted. Games are now played by every one, similar to the varsity sports. The new and large gym- nasium has made this change possible. A certain amount of exercise will be required. The women are also given physical training in their gym- nasium in Hulings Hall. Rythmic ex.pression is taught by com- petent instructors. Basket ball and other indoor sports are carried on in a -program adapted to their needs. Competitive 98 OLD ALLEGHENY outdoor work, hikes, etc., are encouraged by the Girls' Ath- letic Club. The whole system is now under the direction of an athletic board who looks after the general athletic activity of the stu- dents and supervises the work of the especially trained coaches. The new ^100,000 appro.priation fcr athletics is expected to transform athletics at Allegheny College. Basket Ball Allegheny's basket ball teams have long been a source of pride to her students and graduates. Long before the floor game had developed into a national intercollegiate institution, Allegheny was winning consistent victories with independent teams representing the towns in the region surrounding Mead- ville. Then as the colleges and universities adopted the game as a major indoor sport, Allegheny forged to the front with the prowess which her teams had accomplished in develo.ping the game. With the opening of the college gymnasium in 1896, Allegheny began to establish her basket ball supremacy. The teams of '97, '00, '06 and '07 will long live in the memory of the older graduates; while the teams of I9l2 and I9l5 will be remembered by all as the best which have ever been produced of the college. With the opening of the ^100,000 gymnasium with its ex- cellent playing floor, the outlook for future teams is evceed- ingly bright. With the facilities aflforded them there is no rea- son why the students of old Allegheny may not be able to perpetuate her fame on the floor.

Lack of athletic material, shortness of the .playing season, and the com- petition with professional teams of the surrounding territory necessitated discontinuing this sport. However, student in- terest in the national game has guaranteed the maintainance of the sport as a branch of intra-mural athletics, and each spring regularly sees interclass or interfraternity tournaments on Montgomery Field, which affords a tlrst-class diamond. Al- though no official action has been taken in regard to rein- stating baseball as a major sport, student sentiment seems to point towards such action, and the course of a few years may see Allegheny again represented in collegiate baseball circles. Football Although adhering very strictly to amateur and collegiate eligibility regulations, Allegheny's football teams rank con- sistently among the best in the small college class. The an- nual meeting of the Gold and Blue with Carnegie Tech is al- ways looked forward to by the numerous Allegheny alumni of the Pittsburgh district, while the yearly "grudge clash" with Grove City is considered the football classic of northwestern Pennsylvania. In addition to these annual contests with neigh- boring schools, the annual game with Colgate, at Hamilton is watched by the school with intense interest. By means of this 100 OLD ALLEGHENY game Allegheny's football prowess can yearly be compared with the leading eastern teams. It is an accepted fact that Alle- gheny possesses the best college football tield in western Penn- sylvania. Montgomery Field, situated at the rear of the gym- nasium is complete in every respect for the accommodation of teams and spectators. With the advent of the new athletic policy with its larger appropriations, Allegheny's football outlook is exceedingly bright. With proper coaches and equi.pment, which are now furnished, Allegheny promises to occupy a most conspicuous place in college football. Football Record of the Past Twenty Years Year '99 .

Games OLD ALLEGHENY 101 Track and Tennis Springtime and early fall are not without their athletic ac- tivities. When baseball was given up in 191 5, Allegheny stepped forward with a llrst-class track team. A live interest had been dis.played in this branch of athletics and some very good and successful teams have competed for first collegiate honors in western Pennsylvania. Tennis, the sport which appeals to all live blooded college men, has been a factor in the spring term at Allegheny. Every fraternity has its own tennis court, and two good courts are maintained by the college for the use of the non-fraternity men. The girls are supplied with excellent courts in the rear of Hulings Hall. Matches are held with the leading colleges of western Pennsylvania, and Allegheny has always been at or near the top. Cross-Country Run The cross-country run is becoming a firmly established event in the fall season. A three-mile course is set; gold, silver and bronze prizes being given to the winners. Boxing and Wrestling As part of a well organized athletic program, boxing and wrestling have won a .prominent place among the men of the college. Every provision has been made by the athletic board for the furtherance of this sport; es'pecial rooms, with com- plete equipment, are maintained in the gymnasium, and thor- ough instruction is given to all men of the college who desire it. For training purposes, participants in these sports are carefully matched so that the odds shall be equal. The annual boxing and wrestling tournament is one of the big events of the college year. Aside from the tournament, there are numerous interclass and interfraternity matches which never fail to arouse interest. The sport was revived with intense interest after the World War, and has been stead- ily gaining in popularity. Bowling Four good bowling alleys are maintained by the college in the basement of Cochran Hall, for the use of the men students. 102 OLD ALLEGHENY Alleys for the girls are likewise maintained in the basement of Hulings Hall. Players are charged a mimimum amount to cover the current expense of upkeep and management. Each year, interfraternity tournaments are held. A live- ly interest is maintained through the -purse, and through the presentation of a trophy cup to the winning team. Winter Sports — Hockey Basket ball will not be the only athletic sport at Allegheny this winter. Not the least of many new things started in the old college during the year of 1920-21 is the advent of the skating rink and hockey held. Preparations have been made to flood a portion of Montgomery Field and all that is needed for a lively season of skating, is good zero weather. YELLS AND SONGS Rah! Rah! Rah! Rah! Rah! Rah! Rah! Rah!

A high moral and intellectual standing is required to gain en- trance to any of the organizations. This standing is not only maintained by the students, hut also, is required by the ad- ministration. Social functions are supervised by a faculty committee, and permission for all fraternity parties must be had from this committee, before the party can be held. Rowdyism is prohibited in all fraternity houses. Very rigid house rules are maintained, and the fraternities of Alle- gheny College are of the highest ty.pe. Living expenses are normal. Penna. Beta Chapter of Phi Kappa Psi The Phi Kappa Psi fraternity was founded at Jefferson College, February 19, 185 2, by Charles P. T. Moore and Wil- liam H. Letterman. A warm friendship formed in the trying times of a fever epidemic ripened into the fraternal sentiment which led to the foundation of the fraternity. The fraternity is primarily social in its nature; it aims to stimulate and de- Phi Kappa Psi House OLD ALLEGHENY lOQ velop the hi^t,diest ty.pe icf manhood and to promote scholarship and high ideals through the media of its teachings and the fraternal contact between its members. Membership is lim- ited to those undergraduates in actual attendance at school where a chapter is located who do not belong to any organi- zation of similar character. There are now fcrty-six active chapters. In 185 5 the Penna. Beta Chapter was founded at Allegheny College; Mr. Thomas Rustin Kennedy after spend- ing two years in Allegheny transferred to Washington and Jefferson when he joined Phi Kappa Psi, later returning to found the local chapter. It was the first fraternity installed here. The charter members are Z. R. Bratt, J. F. McDowell, Nelson Green, W. B. Holt, O. S. Long, F. M. Gregg, Geo. W. JefTers, and W. D. Stevens. During the recent war with Germany the chapter under- went a severe strain. However, recovery was immediate and com.plete, and today Phi Kappa Psi stands ready and strong as ever. Pi Chapter of Phi Gamma Delta Pi Chapter of Phi Gamma Delta the second fraternity of Allegheny College founded in i860, by a group of students under the direction of Marcus Hotchkiss, '68, and J. B. Rein- holdt, '60. Their purpose was that of reform. The charter was secured in June i860, and installation took place immediately. H. L. Richmond, H. S. Johnsisn, R. S. Mclntire, J. B. Reinholdt, F. W. Hays, F. P. Ray, E. H. Hen- derson, and F. W. Broggins were initiated the first night. On the following night J. J. Henderson, R. C. Frey, Louis Hamil- ton, J. M. Wells, Frank Custard, Andrew Johnston, A. M. Wil- liams, and J. C. Smullen, classes '60-'64 were initiated. The place of installation was in the office building of H. L. Rich- mond. The first permanent chapter was in the Barton House. After many changes, suitable rooms were found in the Rich- mond Block where the cha.pter remained, 1881-88. In 1888, the first chapter home on the Hill was occupied, the present home of the president. In 1897, a new chapter home was erected at the corner of Park avenue and Loomis street. In 1903, the frame building at 553 Park avenue was purchased. no OLD ALLEGHENY Phi Gamma Delta House This socn became too small, and in I9i4, by the generosity cf the alumni, the present modern home was built. The initiates of Pi Chapter number 466, of these, 41 have been awarded Phi Beta Kappa. In July 1914, Pi Cha.pter was awarded the Cheney Efficiency Cup for the most efficient chap- ter of Phi Gamma Delta of the preceding year. Since its founding, it has had considerable influence in the national fra- ternity, and has been the mother of many other chapters. The years I9l8-l9 were strenuous ones. The chapter had net been tried so seriously since the outbreak of the Civil War. Out of over thirty men in the service all but one came back to visit us, or to enter school as active members. Ralph E. Graham, '18, U. S. aviator, was killed at Cametheis Field, Texas, whils in pursuit of duty. Alpha Chapter of Delta Tau Delta Delta Tau Delta Delta was founded at Bethany College, West Virginia, by Richard Alfred, Eugene Tarr, J. L. Hunt, J. C. Lowe, Henry Bell and Wm. R. Cunningham. An informal or- ganization was affected in the spring term of 1858, but the OLD ALLEGHENY III adoption of the motto, badge and constitution did not occur until February 1859. The parent chapter established several other chapters but owing to the war these soon ceased to exist. The Bethany chapter reorganized in 1865 and continued as the head chap- ter until 1874, when its charter was withdrawn and the ad- ministration of the affairs of the fraternity passed to Alpha cha.pter at Allegheny College, established in 1863. In 1883 the executive committee was appointed with full power of Delta Tau Delta House government and the present system of alumni supervision was installed. Alpha chapter has had a long struggle to exist as a chap- ter during the years from 1865 to 1890, but from the later date the alumni of the chapter, through the force of example and by strenuous effort, established the actives in a suitable house and the beginning of a successful career was glimpsed. The .present location was not obtained until l9lO when, through the generosity of the town alumni, the chapter came into full ownership of the old Dick mansion. From time to time various improvements have been made until at this date, 112 OLD ALLEGHENY 1920, the present valuation of the house and property amounts to ^40,000. The total membership of Alpha chapter is now 5 12 and among its .prominent alumni are listed the names of: Bishop Locke, Bishop Mitchell, Frederick Palmer, war correspondent, David Jameson, James Wakefield, Colonel Walker, Percy Cul- lum, Arthur Gill and many others. Penna Delta Chapter of Phi Delta Theta The fourth fraternity to gain recognition in Allegheny Col- lege was Pennsylvania Delta Chapter of Phi Delta Theta. The remarkable growth of the college after the Civil War had created a demand for another band of Greeks. With this end in view, a group of young men, under the leadership of Emery Alden Nelson, '79, petitioned the National Grand Chapter of Phi Delta Theta, then located at Lafayette College, Easton, Pa. The charter was granted May 8, 1879, to fifteen charter members, including the founders, E. A. Nelson, W. Bowser, C. W. Miner, A. D. Collins, J. A. Vance, and E. W. Peck. A short time after, on May 30, 1879, Brother J. A. Langfitt, of Wash- ington and Jefferson College, installed the chapter and in- Phi Delta Theta House OLD ALLEGHENY II3 itiated the tifteen charter members, the ceremony taking place in the Commercial Hotel, now the Lafayette. Meeting rooms were at first rented, the location changing from the Lafayette Hotel to the McHenry House, to the Phoe- nix Block and then to the Kitchen Block, where the cha.pter entertained the Alpha Province convention; then to 313 West College street. In 1895, the chapter was moved to Loomis street, and finally to its present home, 662 Highland avenue, in the spring of 1890. In 1902, the Phi Delts became the first fraternity to own its own property, and in 191 5, the mortgage papers were burned. Many improvements have since been made on the proiperty, amounting to several thousands of dol- lars, due to the loyalty of the alumni and trustees. During the recent war with Germany, the enrollment of the cha.pter was greatly depleted. A complete recovery has been made however, and now. Phi Delta Theta stands as it was before, ready to lead for a higher plane of manhood and Chris- tian development. Penna. Delta has initiated 33 5 men; 210 have received di- plomas, and 3 04 members are still living. Penna. Omega Chapter of Sigma Alpha Epsilon. The nucleus -of Pennsylvania Omega was a club formed in 1885 by four chums attending Allegheny. They organized under the name of C. O. V. The organization prospered and during the next two years came to occupy a prominent -place in the college life. During this period the need of a closer fellowship and fraternal spirit was pressed so strongly upon them that they finally decided to seek national affiliation. This decision culminated in the petitioning to S. A. E. for a charter in December, 1886. The charter was granted, and on March 5, 188 7, C. O. V. became Pennsylvania, Omega, S. A. E. The eleven charter members immediately started to make S. A. E. mean something in Allegheny College, and to make Penna. Omega mean something in S. A. E. In both of these endeavors, they, with their successors, have been at least creditably successful. Naturally they have had their stormy periods. They came in 1887 and in l9l7, but they recovered splendidly from the first, and were able in 1908 to .purchase 114 OLD ALLEGHENY Sigma Alpha Epsilon House the property now owned by the chapter. The stormy period of I9l7 to I9l9 was due to the activities of the members in the army and navy. Immediately upon the entrance of the United States into the World War, eight members of the chap- ter enlisted in the Base Hospital No. 4 unit and were among the first American soldiers in France. From that time until the armistics was signed, the members left at regular intervals to join the various branches of the service, so that in the fall of 19 1 7 only live men returned to school. Despite this severe handicap they were able to survive the trying .period and by the year 1919-20 were on a sound basis and exerting their strongest efforts towards the betterment of Allegheny. Phi Iota Chapter of Alpha Chi Rho. In the latter part of May, 1904, John R. Giblyn, George H Rowley, and Thomas K. Fornear, students of Allegheny Col- lege, conceived the idea of a society for the promotion of scholarship and true fraternal spirit among its members. Their plans did not fully mature until March of the following year, when a new organization known as Theta Delta Psi, was given faculty recognition. The charter members were as follows: OLD ALLEGHENY 115 John R. Biblyn, George H. Rowley, Thomas K, Fornear, W. B. Hotson, C. M. Hotson, A. A. Hoch, F. G. Smith, R. Parker Andrews, F. A. Hewit, and C. R. Dye. At first the young organization had quarters in the brick house at the corner of Park avenue and Locust street, from there to a large stone house, on Highland avenue, owned by Colonel Dick. Here they remained until 1909, at which time they moved to the house at 591 North Park avenue. From its earliest days, the policy of Alpha Chi Rho has been very conservative. Its members are characterized by Alpha Chi Kho House their loyalty, brotherly love, Christian s.pirit and their true intrinsic value. Since its institution in 1914, Phi Iota chapter has enjoyed a healthy growth. It weathered the storm incidental to the Great War and is today stronger than ever before. With ap- proximately one hundred members, and with absolutely no out- side aid, it has purchased the Hempstead residence at 660 North Main street, and has occupied it for a chapter home after making some improvements, all through individual pledges and within six years after the instituting of the chapter. Il6 OLD ALLEGHENY The Allegheny Club. In view of the ra.pid growth of Allegheny's student body the need for an organization to promote the welfare of the increasing number of non-fraternity men became urgent. In the fall of 19 19, the Allegheny Club was founded. The con- stitution was formulated with such broad principles and with an openness that at once dispelled any hint of its being a secret society. From the very beginning active steps were taken to encourage among the members a spirit of good fel- lowship and a loyalty to the ideals and traditions of Old Alle- gheny. In the spring of 1920 the use of Cochran Hall as a club house was obtained from the college authorities. The open- ing of the 1920-21 term found the Allegheny Club with an excellent organization, and a .permanent home. Though in itself the association is yet young, its forma- tion was the crystalization of ideas that were prompted by a long felt want. At present the club is bending every effort to the filling of this want. Not only does it offer a home to the non-fraternity man; it extends as well a welcome to the new AUeghenian who does not enter a Greek letter fraternity, and offers to guide h'.m to a better understanding and a fuller appreciation of the institution he attends. Beta Upsilon Beta Upsilon, the latest addition to the fraternity group at the college, received official faculty recognition on February 22d, 1920. The need of a new fraternity had been evident for several years. The older fraternities, limited in member- ship, had net been able to keep pace with the increasing en- rollment of the college, and many desirable men were being de- prived of the advantages of fraternity life. To meet this need, J. F. Bernard, L. A. Clough, M. S. Stewart, W. C. Thoburn, A. W. Beattie, G. R. Bushyager, R. H. Kelly, R. C. Limber, J. B. Proper, F. E. Smith, E. N. Emery, B. B. Mack and C. S. Thoburn, organized themselves, late in 1920, as a new fraternity. Beta Upsilon was chosen as the name of the new organization. A constitution was drawn u.p, setting forth the aims of the fraternity. A petition for recog- OLD ALLEGHENY 117 nition was submitted to the faculty, and a unanimous vote of approval was the result. The original fourteen men pledged eighteen men, who were initiated on March 7. Beta Upsilon has stepped into its place among the fra- ternities on the Hill, and is becoming a strong factor in the college life. It has ambitious plans for the future. Negotia- tions for the acquisition of a suitable fraternity house are un- der way. The insignia of the fraternity is a pentagonal .pin, bearing upon it the Greek letters of the fraternity, two stars and a dagger. ^ ii8 OLD ALLEGHENY SORORITIES Mu Chapter Kappa Alpha Theta In 1876 Austa Deiismore, one of the few girls then at- tending Allegheny College, went to Greencastle, Indiana. Dur- ing her abserce she was initiated into Kap.pa Alpha Theta. Feeling, on her return she had something worth passing on, she initiated Fell Albertson, Margaret Hartman and Carrie Wythe Williams. Throughout the year this sub rosa chapter existed in the hope that it would become tlrmly established. Kappa Alpha Theta Carrie Williams was the only Theta to return the following year. The first person to whom she mentioned fraternity dis- approved so strongly that she became disheartened and her efforts to establish a fraternity ceased. Five years later in the winter of 1881 in the "Bunce House" or "Snowflake" as the men nicknamed it, lived sixteen college girls, seven of whom called themselves the "Pleiades". Some of the senior members decided to apply for a charter of Kap.pa Alpha Theta. Realizing the value of younger girls to per- petuate the chapter, they invited four girls to join them. The anxiously awaited charter arrived June 8th. The girls with OLD ALLEGHENY 119 the exception of one initiated themselves, and chose one other girl to be their lirst initiate. This little group grew secretly until .one morning the fol- lowing winter all of the members ap.peared at breakfast wear- ing black and gold badges. Then storm clouds caused by groups of disapproving girls gathered but finally broke. The faculty, however, permitted the existence of Mu Chapter and the brother Greeks gladly welcomed her. In May, 1883, the girls were given the choice of any room on the fourth floor of Hulings Hall in which to live. Many happy times were spent in that room. In 1891 Mu was given a larger room, and in 1906, the Theta girls moved to their new two-room suite on the fourth floor of Hulings Hall. Gamma Rho Chapter of Kappa Kappa Gamma. There has been nothing of the spectacular in the life of Gamma Rho since its founding at Allegheny College in 1888. Its growth and development have been normal and consistent. Of its total enrollment of 23 3 over 7 5% have received their degrees, and of this number 20% have been elected into Phi Beta Kappa. Kappa Kappa Gamma 120 OLD ALLEGHENY One of the most important events in its life .occurred in 1908 when Gamma Rho entertained the fraternity at the Bien- nial Convention held in Meadville. At this convention almost every state in the union was represented by delegates sent from the various chapters. February 22, I9l9, found Gamma Rho officiating at the in- stallation of Gamma Epsilon chapter cf the University of Pitts- burgh. During the war the cha.pter played a most important part in helping the orphans of Bellevue-Meudon, a town which was supported by the national fraternity. Another worthy project of Kappa Kappa Gamma in which Gamma Rho has always been most heartily interested is the Student Aid Fund. Any deserving college WiOman may draw from this found of twenty-five thousand dollars ($25,000). Gamma Rho feels very proud to have been visited in the last four years by two of its charter members, Jessie Smith Trum.per and Bessie Putnam. These women with the Misses Kate and Mary Christy, and Carrie Frances Mount established Gamma Rho at Allegheny in February, 1888. The meetings were held at the home of Miss Jessie Smith until the chapter secured rooms on the fourth floor of Hulings Hall. Delta Chapter of Alpha Chi Omega Delta Chapter of Alpha Chi Omega was installed in Alle- gheny College January 29, l89l. Its founding dates friom the meeting of certain musical students in the Meadville Conserva- tory of Music which was atiiliated at that time with Allegheny College. Through the correspondence of the Misses Zannie Tate, and Elizabeth Tate of Meadville, with their cousin Miss Mary Satterheld, an Alpha Chi of Northwestern University, the local chapter was finally installed. On January 29, 1891, at the Tate home, Miss Satterfield, and Miss Price, from De Pauw University, initiated seven girls into Alpha Chi Omega. They were: Antoinette Snyder, (Mrs. Manley O. Brown), Fern Pickard, (Mrs. E. W. Stevens), Ruby Grick, (Mrs. Thaddeus Evans), May Tinker, (Mrs. Geo, F. Barr), May Breden, Zannie Tate, (Mrs. L. P. Osgood), Eliza- beth Tate, (Mrs. E. P. Wilson). OLD ALLEGHENY 121 Alpha Chi Omegra After the work of organization and installation came the greetings from the other Greeks and the college who wel- comed the new chapter at Chapel and later by teas and re- ceptions in rooms in the Conservatory building, occupying most of that time the entire third floor. In the fall of 1901, rooms were secured in the Mosier building on Chestnut street. Later the chapter moved to Highland avenue. Since the fall of 1908, it has occupied a beautiful suite of rooms in Hulings Hall. Kappa Chapter of Alpha Gamma Delta Kappa Chapter of Alpha Gamma Delta was installed in Allegheny College February 23, l9l2. Some eight years be- fore, in 1904, six undergraduate women had founded a local fraternity, Theta Sigma. It was from this local that Kappa chap- ter was formed. Upon its founding the local was at once wel- comed by the other fraternities. It soon became a factor in fraternity life. At first the meetings were held in the Library, but when the suites on the fourth floor of Hulings Hall were completed, the rooms were chosen which Alpha Gamma Delta now occupies. In 1910 negotiations were entered upon with Alpha Gamma Delta in regard to the granting of a charter. The 122 OLD ALLEGHENY similarity in many respects between the local and the na- tional fraternity was remarkable, and so, when Kappa Cha.pter of Alpha Gamma Delta was installed the change was not an Alpha Gamma Delta abrupt and revolutionary one. Since that time Kappa chapter has had a steady and consistent growth. The founders were: Edith Rowley, '05, Katharine A^lc- Alister, '06, Mabel E. Deane, '06, Florence L. Bates, '07, Wy- nona M. Baker, '08, and Lucy H. Wright, '08. Tallagewe. The Teutonia organization was founded in the years 1909 and 1910. Its purpose is to provide for the social life of the non-sorority girls of Allegheny College. It has brought them to work for a common interest and it has thereby en- riched their life. Among the chief aims of the organization has been high scholarship and high standards of life for young women. The .organization has had an average enrollment of from twenty-five to thirty girls each year and can boast the fact that in its short history of ten years it has sent out eigh- teen Phi Beta Kappa students. OLD ALLEGHENY 1 23 In the spring of 19 18, in accordance with other war ad- justments the name of the organization was changed to Tal- lagewe. Sigma Tau Sigma Shortly before the Christmas vacation in 1920 Sigma Tau Sigma after being lOfiicially recognized by the faculty, an- nounced itself a local sorority at Allegheny. For many months there had been great agitation for a new sorority on the Hill. The increased numbers of new girls, for whose social life the old sororities were unable to provide, brought home the immediate need of a new sorority. Conse- quently the following girls: Belle Bollinger, Marjorie Dean, Edna Kruse, Nancy Graham, Freida Schnell, Mildred Brown, Varene Collins, Wilhelmina Traum, Marguerite Brown, Mil- dred Brown, Charlotte Jelbart, Marjorie Lillie, Anna Redman, Clara Weller, Marion Einers, Kathryn Robins, Dorothy Schenck and Ruth Wood withdrew from Tallagewe, drafted a consti- tution, which was accepted by the faculty and reorganized under the name of Sigma Tau Sigma. However, Tallagewe with its rooms and furnishings, still remains as a non-sorority organization at Allegheny. # 124 0L° ALLEGHENY I HONORARY FRATERNITIES Phi Beta Kappa This society is tlie forerunner and in a sense the parent of all the numerous Greek letter fraternities. It was founded at William and Mary College in 17 76. In the early days it was much like the fraternity of today but in time it became a non- secret society of graduates elected to membership on the basis of scholarship and character. It now occupies a field wholly unique. In recent years it has become more famous and in- fluential than ever before. There are about one hundred chap- ters in the strongest and best known colleges and universities of the country. Allegheny stands fifty-fourth. The charter was granted in 1901 and the chapter formally instituted in February, 1902. In all 279 students and alumni have been elected to membership. From each graduating class not more than one-seventh the number of men and not more than one- seventh the number of women in the class may be elected to membership by the executive, composed of the Phi Beta Ka.p- pa men holding full professorships in the faculty. Under cer- tain conditions a limited number of eligibles may be chosen to membership at the beginning of the senior year. In recent years about twelve members of each graduating class have won the honor of an election. Occasionally some alumnus whose work since graduation has been of remarkable char- acter is elected to membership and still more rarely some dis- tinguished scholar is elected to honorary membership. But almost exclusively the membership is made up of men and women whose work during the four years has been of very high grade. The key worn as a badge of membership is a reproduction of an original badge devised nearly a hundred ?nd fifty years ago. The Phi Beta Kappa address has come to be one of the chief events of commencement week at Allegheny. In past years it has been given by such distinguished persons as H. W. Mabie, Professor Shorey, Talcott Williams, Ida M. Tarbell, Dean Haskins, Frederick Palmer. OLD ALLEGHENY I25 Alpha Chi Sigma The Alpha Chi Sigma fraternity was founded at the Uni- versity of Wisconsin in 1902 by a group of chemistry students whose aim was, to perpetuate an organization which would bring them closer together whereby they could .profit intel- lectually from one another, and to establish a bond of fellow- ship which would continue long after each of them left the university. Out of this local organization has grown a na- tional fraternity of high rank in a comparatively short time; there are now thirty-one active chapters throughout the coun- try. Phi chapter, installed at Allegheny in I9l3, being one of the youngest. New members are chosen from among the men of the tw,o upper classes who are majoring in the Chem- istry Department; members of undergraduate fraternities are eligible. The candidates are judged upon the merit of schol- arship and personality. Faculty recognition was given to the new fraternity in Allegheny as soon as its worth was known, and since that time it has become one of the strong- est 'Organizations of its kind in the school, and the ultimate aim of all men men students with chemistry before them as a life work. Delta Sigma Rho On A.pril 13, 1906, representatives from seven of the large universities of the middlewest met at Chicago in re- sponse to an idea conceived by Professors E. E. McDermott of Minnesota, and H. E. Gordon of Iowa. This meeting re- sulted in the organization of the society of Delta Sigma Rho, whose purpose is to encourage sincere and effective public speaking. There are now over fifty chapters of Delta Sigma Rho in the leading colleges and universities of America. Charters are granted only to such institutions as have for five years preceeding application partici.pated in at least one intercollegiate contest each year, showing a high grade of ef- ficiency in public speaking, and whose forensic contests are under faculty supervision. Membership in the society is re- stricted to those persons who have represented their college in .public speaking or in an intercollegiate contest. Delta Sig- ma Rho has no reason to be "anti-secret", but since it is strict- ly an honorary fraternity it is practically "non-secret". 126 OLD ALLEGHENY Allegheny College chapter was instituted in I9l3 with charter members, and has followed the policy of electing to membership only students who have reached junior rank. Women are eligible as well as men, and it is to be hoped that in the near future the oratorical activities of the young women of Allegheny will take on an intercollegiate nature. The Gavel, the regular publication of Delta Sigma Rho, is devoted to fraternity notes of interest and to articles dealing with forensic activities in various American colleges and uni- versities. Origfinal College Seal OLD ALLEGHENY 127 III Buildings and Campus PART I The college campus contains sixteen acres on the north edge of town nearly a mile from the business section, at an elevation of two hundred feet above French creek and twelve hundred and fifty feet above the sea. It is abundantly shaded by numerous varieties of trees, many of them planted by stu- dents nearly a century ago. The ravine which passes through the campus and the situation overlooking the town and valley for miles below, give a natural beauty hardly surpassed. The grounds are well provided with cement walks, and both grounds and buildings are kept in an attractive and sanitary condition. The heating plant, situated in the upper ravine, supplies steam heat to all the college buildings. It is adequate to the needs of the college. The Log: Court House in which Allegheny was founded June 20, 1815 128 OLD ALLEGHENY Bentley Hall and '"Hand of Knowledgre' Bentley Hall Bentley Hall bears the name of the Rev. William Bentley, D.D., of Salem, Massachusetts, who gave his valuable library to the college. The cornerstone was laid in 1820. It con- sists of a central three-story building with tower, and two wings with massive .pillars. The building contains the ad- ministration otlices of the college and recitation and lecture rooms. The third floor is devoted to the halls of the Philo- Franklin Forum and musical societies. OLD ALLEGHENY 129 Ruter Hall, and Ford Memorial Chapel on the left Ruter Hall Ruter Hall, which bears the name of the Rev. Martin Ruter, D.D., the second president of the college, is a sub- stantial brick building, erected in 185 5, chiefly by the citizens of Meadville. On the first floor is the geological museum of the college. On the second floor are recitation rooms, a draw- ing room, an instrument room, and an office, used by the de- partment of Mathematics and Surveying. The third floor, oc- cupied by the department of Philosophy and Education, con- tains a lecture room, two laboratories, two offices, and a store room. I30 OLD ALLEGHENY iMM^ Culver Hall Culver Hall Culver Hall, erected in 1865 — burned in 1882, was the gift of Charles Culver, "an oil operator at Reno, Pa. The building was a three story frame structure, with accom- modations for one hundred students. It was valued at thirty thousand dollars. OLD ALLEGHENY 13' Old Huling-s Hall from the front, and "Hand of Knowledgfe" in foreground Hulings Hall Hillings Hall, a four story brick building, is in its present enlarged form an almost ideal home for the one hundred fifty young women whom it accommodates. The original edifice, ninety-four by one hundred-four feet, was erected in 1881, by Marcus Hulings and the citizens of Meadville. In 1906 the gymnasium and a number of rooms were added and the large addition built in 1920-21 completes the plan. The building is well heated from the central plant, lighted by electricity and is provided with fire escapes. It has been almost entirely refurnished since 19 19 and has hardwood floors throughout. The middle wing contains the beautiful new living room, gymnasium and loggia on the first floor. The fourth floor contains five suites of fraternity rooms and the so- 132 OLD ALLEGHENY ciety rooms, a new inllrmary, and the Y. W. C. A. rooms. In the basement are baths and dressing rooms for the gymnas- ium, the director's room, bowling alleys, and a laundry for the use of the young women. In the new north wing is a beautiful dining room which will accommodate two hundred persons. A standard elevator connects all the floors conveniently. The new kitchens in the rear are fitted with modern ap.pliances operated by electricity. The main entrance to the building is on Park Avenue where a porte-cochere is located. The parlors, living room and loggia, together with the gymnasium, make a spacious and beautiful area for large social affairs. The quiet elegance and harmonious coloring of the decorations and furnishings of the public rooms provide a background for the cultured home life provided for the young women of the college. is OLD ALLEGHENY 133 Wilcox Hall of Science Wilcox HeJI of Science Wilcox Hall of Science, named for Mr. and Mrs. Robert- son Wilcox, of Girard, Pa., is a modern brick building built in 1892 for the department of Physics. It contains an amphi- theater lecture-room, seating one hundred students, physical laboratories, and a basement workshop. There are ten work- ing rooms. In the construction of the building special care was taken to .provide abundant light. 134 OLD ALLEGI[EXY Ford Memorial Chapel Ford Memorial Chapel Ford Memorial Chapel was erected in 1901-2 through the generosity of Captain John B. Ford, of Creighton, Pa., in mem- ory of his wife. It is of rock-faced Cleveland sandstone, in Gothic Romanesque style, with a spacious auditorium seating fcur hundred tifty, besides a gallery seating one hundred fifty, and an oratory seating one hundred tifty. The rich stained glass windows and the harmonious interior appointments add much to the stateliness of the building. The chapel is provided with a splendid pi.pe organ, the gift of the granddaughters of Captain Ford, Mrs. J. A. Ballan- tyne and Misses Nellie and Stella Ford, who contributed ^6,000 for this purpose. The organ was designed by Mr. W. L. Mayer, of Pittsburgh, and was built by the late Julius Neef, of Phila- delphia. It has three manuals and 1,920 pipes, and is sup- plied with the best devices of great modern organs. OLD ALLEGHENY 135 Newton Observatory Newton Observatory Newton Observatory, completed in 1901, was made pos- sible by the gift of Mrs. Mary M. Newton, of Batavia, Illinois, in memory of her husband, Captain D. C. Newton, once a stu- dent in the college. It is a roclc-faced building of tine archi- tectural appearance, containing in addition to the observing room, a transit room, a com.puting room, and the director's office. 136 OLD ALLEGHENY Reis Library, and the "Seven Sisters" in the foreground The Library The Library building, the gift of W. E. Reis, '69, was com- pleted in 1902. It provided a suitable home for the books which made the college famous even in its early days. The building, which occupies the most commanding situation on the cam.pus is eighty-live by seventy-four feet. It is construc- ted of vitrified brick with terra-cotta trimmings, in Italian Renaissance style. It has a two story stack room with a capacity of sixty thousand volumes and many of the seminar rooms are also used for books. An octagonal reading room with an artistic glass ceiling opens from the vestibule. A reference room, a periodical room, office and cloak rooms are on the first floor. The second floor is occupied with seminar and department study rooms and a faculty room. The inter- OLD ALLEGHENY 137 ior is finely tlnished and the walls are adorned with several good paintings. The Library building is the center of the club and department activities outside of the scientific departments which have their own collections of books; these for greater convenience, are housed in the se.parate buildings and each de- partment holds its club meetings in its own building. To the original collections there is a steadily increasing accession of the best reference and general literature. The ^periodical list is exceptionally good for a college of this size and the fact that the Library is a depository for state and na- tional documents adds to its power of service. Bentley '1 hrougli the Trees 138 OLD ALLEGHENY Cochran Hall from North of Ruter Cochran Hall By the generous gift of Mrs. Sarah B. Cochran of Dawson, Pa., provision has been made for a college commons for young men. The building is constructed of brick, with light terra cotta trimmings and tile roof. The architecture is of the Ital- ian villa style with simple dignified lines, making the building as a whole, the most imposing of the entire college grou.p. The building contains on the first floor a reception hall, a main din- ing room, and large lounging rooms for general purposes. The second floor is devoted to students' studies, sleeping rooms and baths, and to a guests' suite. The building is a rallying center fcr the young men of the college. In addition to the dining rooms and dormitory, there are Y. M. C. A. rooms, assembly, reading and social rooms, an oflice and cloak room. Four bowling alleys and shuffle board spaces contribute to recreation. OLD ALLEGHENY 139 Heating Plant Lake George, 1888. Later filL-d in and the present site of the Heating i'lant 140 OLD ALLEGHENY Alden Hall of Biology Alden Hall Since the erection of this building in I9l5 it has been re- built and greatly enlarged into a modern two-story structure for the department of Biology and Geology. Constructed of gray vitrified brick and terra cotta and roofed with red Span- ish tile, it forms an imposing building sixty feet wide by one hundred twenty feet long, with the main entrance on George street. The spacious halls lined with cases for the display of biological specimens, the rough sand finish of the walls, and the stained oak woodwork and furnishings produce a most pleasing interior. The building is divided on the first floor into a large lec- ture room in the east end, a library, a professor's office, two private laboratories, and four advanced laboratories, two store rooms, an office, and a vivarium. The basement contains six rooms which are used by the department for aquaria, work shop, store rooms, etc. The building is exceptionally well- lighted and is equipped with tables, lockers and apparatus. OLD ALLEGHENY 141 Carnegfie Hall of Chemistry Carnegie Hall of Chemistry Carnegie Hall is the latest addition to the group of college buildings and is devoted entirely to the use of the department of Chemistry. The erection of the building was made possible by a gift of ^40,000 by Mr. Andrew Carnegie. This contri- bution was made with the understanding, however, that the trustees of the college add ^10,000 to this sum for the build- ing and, furthermore, that an additional sum of ^20,000 be laised for the purpose of .providing a definite income for the maintainence of the building. The trustees not .only met the terms of the gift but immediately appropriated a generous sum to be used for the purchase of adequate equipment of the laboratories. With the completion of this building late in the year of l9lS, the college came into possession of a $70,000 plant for chemistry, not including the equipment, which will amount to approximately $20,000. The building is constructed of buff tapestry brick with artificial stone trimmings, in the Italian villa style. The roof is of red Spanish tile. The interior structure is of pressed steel entirely. Owing to the fact that it was deemed advisable for hygienic purposes to substitute heavy four-inch wooden 142 OLD ALLEGHENY floors for cement, it is necessary to describe the building as of "slow-burning construction". There are 24 rooms in the building. All these rooms have been equipped as otfices for members of the instructing staff, or as laboratories for the general courses in chemistry and for research work. The building is sup.plied with electricity, both A. C. and D. C, high pressure steam for operating steam baths, and with satisfactory ventilating hoods and laboratories. The Ravine From the Ravine OLD ALLEGHENY 143 The New Gymnasium The Gymnasium The new Gymnasium was completed in the fall of 1921. Athletics had shown such an unusual advance that it became essential to have increased accommodations and modern equip- ment. The building is constructed of native stone and red brick. It is similar to the old gymnasium, with greater ca.pac- ity, and th addition of a rear wing. The improvements were made at an expense of over $100,000. Outstanding features of the new building are: first, the floor, 60 feet by 90 feet in the clear, with wide balcony and running track; second, the swimming pool, 22 feet by 60 feet; its greatest depth is eight feet. The sides and bottom are of white tile, light being supplied by large windows with south- ern exposure. Third, the team rooms, with terrazzo floors, marble lined showers, six-foot steel lockers, rubbing down tables and emergency equipment. Provisions are also made for a director's office, examination room, trophy and Block "A" Club room, lockers and private shower baths for officials, and a room for boxing and wrestling. 144 OLD ALLEGHENY Trophy Room Basketball Floor (90x60) Swimming: Pool (60x22) OLD ALLEGHENY 145 THE NEW RULINGS HALL Hulings Hall from Park Avenue The Lounging: Room 146 OLD ALLEGHENY Reception Rooms Dining: Room Loggia OLD ALLEGHENY 147 Entrance to Monty-omcry Athktic Field ^^ f^ mr, ^ r ^ f!* n ^ ^ "^ V The Football Team, 1920 148 OLD ALLEGHENY Circle of Pines Planted by the Class of 73 — one tree for each member Chemistry Building: and Observatory from North Main Street OLD ALLEGHENY 149 ON A WINTER DAY Looking Toward the East Wing: of Bentley Ravine and Rustic Bridge 150 OLD ALLEGHENY o fc.

C. at Allegheny 260 l68 OLD ALLEGHENY PART III YOUR ALLEGHENY A recent number of the Boston Transcript publishes a sig- nificant review by Henry T. Claus, of the year's academic output. Several facts in the article stand out with some prom- inence. By far the greatest numerical growth in student at- atendance in the last decade has been in the state colleges and publicly supported institutions; technical and "bread and but- ter" courses are relatively increasing; the number of Bachelors of Arts as compared with those receiving other degrees in de- creasing. It will be of interest to readers of The Tribune-Republi- can to know in what light this review of the decade .places Allegheny. In the first place it is gratifying that Allegheny is included in a tabulation of the 4 7 leading colleges and uni- versities of America. An examination of the tabulated rec- ords contained in the article shows that while most of the East- ern colleges which are not primarily technical schools have either gained very slightly in number of graduates (Bryn Mawr, Rutgers and Swartmore), or have not gained at all (Am- herst and Harvard). Allegheny shows an increase of 50 per cent, in the decade. In fact, including technical schools and state institutions, only 13 have a higher percentage of gain. It is recognized that a material increase of attendance in a college may be due to the introduction of new departments, cr to serious modifications of the curriculum. Allegheny has merely developed the departments of 10 years ago, and has maintained its policy of progressive conservatism, and the concentration of emphasis on the cultural function of a college, while the .percentage of graduates receiving the Bachelor of Arts degree in a list of 23 colleges is only an average of 24 per cent., Allegheny has a proportion of nearly 80 per cent. This shows that the increased attendance is not due to any great change in the ideals of education. This tabulated comparison, coming as it does on the heels of the recent flattering reports of the General Educational Board and the National Department of Education, which have both subjected the college to a searching examination, not only financially, but scholastically, will be a source of gratification OLD ALLEGHENY 169 to the alumni and friends of Allegheny. And the best of it is, that this growth has been experienced without great resources: for, as the report indicates, compared with state institutions with heavy endowments and a.ppropriations, Allegheny, even with its newly added half-million, is far from being a rich col- lege. It all goes to show what a place there is in the American system of education for a college of this type. From Tribune- Republican of August 8, 1912. CONSTITUTION OF THE ALUMNI ASSOCIATION Article I The Association shall be called the General Alumni Associa- tion of Allegheny College. Article II The object of this association is to arouse the intelligent interest and wise enthusiasm of the alumni in all that concerns the welfare of the College and to co-operate with the College authorities in securing the pros.perity and success of the college. Article III All graduates of Allegheny College shall be eligible to ac- tice membership in the association.

The president and four other members of the association shall be chosen at the annual meeting. All presi- dents of local Alumni Associations of Allegheny College, if eligible to membership in this association, shall be ex-ot^lcio directors of this association, and shall be listed as vice presi- 170 OLD ALLEGHENY dents in the order of the establishment of their respective associations. The secretaries of local Alumni Associations of Allegheny College, if eligible to membershi-p in this association, shall be ex-otficio directors of this association. Five directors shall constitute a quorum of the board. Section 3. The directors shall choose a secretary-treas- urer from the membership of the association. This officer shall become ex-officio a director, if not already such. No member of the Board of Trustees or of the Faculty of the college shall be elected secretary-treasurer. The directors are authorized to pay from the funds of the association such compensation to the secretary-treasurer as may be agreed upon. Section 4. It shall be the duty of the directors to inaugur- ate and further all measures contemplated by this constitution; to make arrangements for the annual meeting and dinner; to have charge of the finances of the association; to have direc- tion of the plans for the election of Alumni trustees; to keep records of all business meetings and of all financial transac- tions and report the same to the annual meeting of the Asso- ciation. They shall have authority to appoint from their own members or from the membership of the association such com- mittees as they deem necessary to promote the objects of the association. Section 5. The secretary-treasurer shall have charge of all funds of the association and shall expend them for such purposes as may be authorized by the directors. At least five atlirmative votes shall be necessary to authorize expendi- tures. PLAN FOR THE SELECTION OF ALUMNI TRUSTEES OF ALLEGHENY COLLEGE, MEADVILLE, PA. 1. No one shall be eligible to serve as Alumni trustee ex- cept a graduate of Allegheny College of not less than l5 years standing. All graduates of Allegheny College who have paid their yearly dues, and are, therefore, in "good standing" with the General Alumni Association, shall be entitled to nominate OLD ALLEGHENY I7I and vote for Alumni trustees at any election after one com- mencement has elapsed succeeding their graduation. The an- nual fee in the General Alumni Association, the payment of which shall be a prerequisite to voting at any election, shall be $\, and must be paid before the closing of the .polls as herein- after provided. 2. Directors of the Alumni Association shall elect a secre- tary of the Alumni, who shall also act as treasurer, and they shall fix his term of service and compensation, which shall be paid from the annual dues collected. The secretary-treasurer shall have charge of the enrollment of the alumni. No member ci the Faculty, or of the Board of Trustees, shall be eligible to act as secretary-treasurer. And no member of the Faculty shall be eligible to election as Alumni trustee. 3. In January of each year the secretary shall issue a call for the nomination of candidates to be voted for at the next election. Nominations must be signed and forwarded to the secretary before the tlrst of April, on which day nominations shall close. Only those who have been nominated by at least 10 graduates shall be candidates for positions on the Board of Trustees. On or before the first day of May of each year the secretary shall send to every enrolled graduate an official ballot with directions how to mark the same, and a return en- velope marked "Confidential," and addressed to the secretary. The official ballot shall contain the names and addresses of all the candidates for such trusteeship, with date of gradua- tion of each, his employment since that time, and his present occu.pation. The directors of the General Alumni Association shall devise such a form of ballot as shall preserve the secrecy of the voting and make it easy and effective. With the official ballot the secretary shall also enclose a notice of the annual meeting of the Alumni to be held during the following Com- mencement week, together with the text of any proposed amendments to this plan, which may have been duly and regu- larly submitted to him. An enrolled graduate who has lost or failed to receive the original official ballot sent to him shall be entitled to receive a duplicate ballot upon written applica- tion to the secretary. 4. The annual selection for Alumni trustees shall take 1 72 OLD ALLEGHENY place in Meadville, Pa., on the Monday of Commencement week, and the polls shall close at 6 .p. m. of that day. The Alumni secretary, a member of the Faculty, and a member of the Board of Trustees, to be appointed by their respective bodies, shall act as tellers and have entire charge of the elec- tion. The tellers shall act by a majority; and in case of the absence or disability of any teller, the president of the college shall name a substitute or substitutes to till any vacancy so existing. Electors may cast their ballots in person or by mail; and all ballots received by the secretary shall be held by him unopened until after the closing of the polls, when they shall be delivered to the tellers. The secretary shall furnish the tellers an alphabetical list of all alumni in "good standing" as per Section 1 of this -plan. No ballots shall be considered ex- cept those received from members who have the right to vote. The tellers before entering upon their duties shall take an oath that they will conduct the election fairly and will not reveal to any one how any elector has voted. 5. Immediately after the closing of the polls the tellers shall proceed to open the ballots, complete the count of the vote, and certify in writing to the Board of Trustees the name of the candidate or candidates receiving the highest number of votes, and also the number of votes by each candidate, and the returns of the election shall be posted conspicuously by the secretary. A list of all persons voting at each election shall be ke.pt on tile by the secretary for the inspection of any of the Alumni electorate. At any election there shall be chosen a sufficient number of Alumni trustees to till up the full quota to which the Alumni are then entitled, and the candidate or candidates having received the highest number of votes shall be declared by the tellers to be the choice of the Alumni for the existing vacancy or vacancies. The drawing of lots shall be resorted to to break a tie. 6. Any vacancy occurring among the Alumni trustees by death, resignation, or otherwise, shall be tilled at the next elec- tion in the same manner as heretofore prescribed. 7. This plan for the election of Alumni trustees may be changed or modified subject to the approval of the Board of Trustees at any regular annual meeting of the General Alumni OLD ALLEGHENY 1 73 Association held during Commencement week, by a three- fourths vote of the "good standing" alumni present provided the said change, or mcditlcation in writing, shall be tiled with the secretarytreasurer at least 90 days before the said annual meeting, and the text of the proposed change or modification shall have been mailed to the enrolled graduates, as provided in Section 3 of this .plan. Respectfully submitted, J. W. SMITH, '60, GEO. H. LAMB, '85, E. P. CULLUM, '82, W. A. ELLIOTT, '89, E. L. MATTERN, '90, Committee. Two important amendments to the plan for the selection of Alumni trustees were passed at the annual meeting of the General Alumni Association in June 1914 and were ratified by the Board of Trustees of the college at their semi-annual meet- ing in January 191 5. First, It was voted that all references to a fee as a pre- requisite to voting be stricken out. Second, The polls shall clcse at two p. m. on Wednesday of Commencement week instead of six p. m. on Monday. <^^ 1 74 OLD ALLEGHENY OFFICERS OF THE COLLEGE Presidents of the Faculty Accessus.
