NINETEEN HUNDRED AND THIRTEEN OUaaa tyatm Alfred Newbery, Class Poet They may tell us that we're young yet, boys, The world awaits outside And songs we have not sung yet, boys, To humble all our pride. That we do not know life yet, boys, That this is only play; That we have seen no strife, yet, boys. Our valor to display. We answer thus their caution, boys, Admit their every word! That we've not had our portion, boys, As yet have drawn no sword. But we know also this, boys* Some failure all the time; That one man w T ins the race, boys, That everything can't rhyme. But we know also this, boys. And this our strength shall prove, The motto that we'll trust, is, boys, That youth can all things move! Whom gods love, is told, boys, Die young. And it is true, For they can ne'er grow old, boys, Their youth they e'er renew! Then let us be loved by gods, boys, And old we'll never be. Grey hairs we fight at odds, boys, Old hearts we'll never see. AMHERST COLLEGE CLASS BOOK We'll return though we be fewer, To this our youth's first love. And we'll find it a renewer, boys, Of happy skies above. And we'll pledge ourselves all over, boys, Our trial will then be near. And choking thoughts will hover, boys, Of friendships close and dear. Then they'll tell us that we're young still, boys, The world can wait outside. Songs will prove we're strong of lung still, boys, For with youth we'll e'er abide. Our student days are over, boys, Our time is drawing near. And choking thoughts do hover, boys, Of friendships close and dear. We have grown to know each other, boys, Our bonds are true and deep; Each to each a brother, boys, And so we pray to keep. NINETEEN HUNDRED AND THIRTEEN lanralaureate $?ntum President Meiklejohn to 1913 Members of the Class of 19 13 in Amherst College: I welcome you as players of the game, as members of the team, and now I ask you, "Are you ready?" Have you seen those fine and beautiful things in human experience which can compel your alle- giance; are you ready to separate out the true from the false, the good from the bad, the generous from the selfish, the beautiful from the ugly; can you read a good book and find satisfaction in the experience; can you talk with a friend and make the talk worth while; can you be alone and not be lonely and vacant of mind; are you sensitive to the wonders and possibilities of human experience and of the world within which that experience falls ; can you be fine but stalwart, gentle but relentless, enthusiastic but sensible, earnest but reasonable? And again are you able to endure? Will you, when once you set your teeth into a task, keep them clenched until the task is done or reason has seen some better bite to take? Can you be counted on by your fellows to do what you have given them reason to expect you will do ? Can you count on yourself to stand the strain when the time of trial comes? If you have in any measure achieved these qualities — the vision to see and the power to endure, then Amherst sends you out with confidence to play the human game. Keep clear your vision of the things that are best; keep strong your resolution to follow them to the end ; and as the days go by come back and tell us how the game goes on. _ 5 z ■ 2.2 6 40_»£ £ C ' ->- *■ C - -i » _ ■ -- n ' - --W-SCO : - -; ^hA Boa JL •-9 CD t3T3 « COOSCO t^O CCii005NNffi©OHiO©ON«0 i-h CO 00 MCO •"# CO r}H O i-H CD OS t>- 00 t- 1> J-k HH'mQ^iddcod^fe'ffidd^^oi^'o^fe ^CNC0t}HiOC0I>Q0OsO'-i00OSC> o n -Q So «,, eq'WrtcdcMW^ffi^pd^^'w^'^b^^;^ cj ^'^dwd^wd^^fe^'-s'i-s'fejHipq^cj^ ^5 CO _i i-i (M CO lO lO CO IC CO t> CO OS CO OS (M HN CD O $_» ^-I^^OLOCO Tt<(N(N(M>-Hl>(N05l>'-HlMCD^rt w» H«bi(MQ0CO O $£ 8 § "04 V H S ~ CO (-1 fc ' PH'feWjB'SQQ^w'fa>'^«d^§fflS'd w .^ drtd^oQh4fe'pqh4H^^HHp4d^rt^H-;pd - £ttt0r 5}0p College Hall, Saturday, February 15, 1913.

"Where the vanguard camps tonight The rear shall camp tomorrow!" The people are thinking new thoughts about themselves and their world. Nothing is steadfast or approved. In business and politics, in economics and statecraft, in everything everywhere we find doubt and uncertainty, bewilderment amounting often to confusion. What are the causes of this? There are many causes. Perhaps most obvious is an economic cause. In the unprecedented material advance of the past half century science and invention have increased our facility for the creation of wealth faster than we could learn to use it. As President Wilson has told us in his great inaugural: "The evil has come with the good and much fine gold has been corrupted. With riches has come inexcusable waste. We have squandered a great part of what we might have used. * * * We have been proud of our industrial achievements, but we have not * * * stopped thoughtfully enough to count the human cost. The groans and agony of it all have not yet reached our ears — the solemn moving undertone of life coming up out of the mines and factories and out of every home where the struggle has its intimate and familiar seat." The prophet's voice rings clear from the lips of our wisest leaders today as with Huxley they exclaim: "What profits it to the human Prometheus that he has stolen the fire of heaven to be his servant and that the spirits of the earth and air obey him, if the vulture of Pauperism is eternally to tear his vitals and keep him on the brink of destruction?" The modern seer, eye to eye with Lord Tennyson, echoes his burning and insistent question: "Is it well that while we range with science, glory in the time, City children soak and blacken soul and sense in City slime? There among the glooming alleys Progress halts on palsied feet, Crime and hunger cast our maidens by the thousand on the street. There the master scrimps his sempstress of her daily bread, There a single sordid attic holds the living and the dead. There the smouldering fire of fever creeps across the rotten floor, And the crowded couch of incest in the warrens of the poor." 32 AMHERST COLLEGE CLASS BOOK Is this present social and economic order right and just? Is it permanent; or is it to be discarded as feudalism and slavery have been discarded? This is the supreme question behind and under- neath the changes of the hour. The contrasts of life grow yearly more marked. The chasm of social and economic inequality yawns like a bottomless pit to swallow up our boasted democracy. The rich oppress the poor and the poor curse the rich. Such seem to be the facts and on the lips of our preachers and statesmen and econo- mists they have served to cause disquietude. But unrest is not caused solely by the thinking or the talking of our leaders. All over the land the spirit of the masses has been kindled. Labor is refusing to bear in silence the burdens that keep growing heavier. The time for half-way measures, for compromises and make-shifts, for quibblings and shams is gone. The haggard, shame-faced social scheme of the survival of the fittest is doomed ; heartless economic determinism is discredited ; individualism in unlim- ited competition is damned. And labor is trying to tell capital that this is so. Following the example of capital, labor is organized, articulated, animated. Our history in years to come will be the story of the mighty contest between these two factions; our future state will combine the powers of both ; our future ideals of democracy will be the product of their common aims. The struggle is on. News comes daily from the battle line — now a strike, now a legislative battle, laws made and laws broken, boy- cotts, dynamitings, mob-uprisings, and here and there a veritable reign of terror when a tremor of fear and apprehension chills every heart. Confusion and doubt, passion and prejudice in all these conflicts dim and obscure our vision of the real cause at stake. The battle is not for laws and privileges, for documents and dollars. It is a spiritual warfare, not against flesh and blood, but against principali- ties and powers of conventional and institutional wrong and oppres- sion ; it is civilization against tyranny; once again, as at Gettysburg and Bull Run, it is freedom against slavery! We must not judge the struggle by its most extreme manifestations. It is perfectly true that the violence of bomb-throwing strikers, no less than the grim menace of protected monopoly is like the yell of pirates against the NINETEEN HUNDRED AND THIRTEEN 33 Declaration of Independence, the war cry of true patriotism must be the echo of that sublime pledge. But what, you ask, is our relation to all this? Let us see. The college is the training camp of the future. Today we are students, tomorrow T social and industrial workers or leaders. If we will but take it, we can have the leadership in this great conflict. And the world looks to us to take that leadership. Into our hands will come that defense of liberty and equality for which Washington fought and Lincoln died. What are we doing now to prepare for this solemn responsibility? How much reflection and study do we give, how much of our time, interests or energy do we dedicate to this cause? And yet when college is over and we plunge into the actual strug- gle of life how much time shall we have for deliberation and careful critical thinking? When soon our own business and domestic prob- lems loom before us, how clearly do you think we can see the larger facts in our nation's life? When our days are overfull of work and our nights all too short for needed rest, how are we to be capable of sustained calculating unprejudiced judgment? We have a remarkably fine perspective as we stand upon these hill tops in the morning light! This is the time for us to plan, to ponder and decide: now we have youths' enthusiasms, fresh hopes and high ambitions, generous ambitions and impressionable minds. Now is the accepted time for us to make our supreme decision — not primarily for life's work but of life's attitudes; to get our "Weltanschauung," our view of the world, upon which to base future thought and action. And yet what is the common answer to any such appeal? And w T hat is the common standard in the mind of many a college Senior who is casting about for future employment? What but dollars and cents? It is an insult to patriotism and a working of ideals when the American student asks first about any life work — "How much does it pay? How much can I get?" Get! He can get what he gives and if he gives his immortal soul the world will pay it back to him in dollars and cents. But w T hen "men's hearts wait upon us; men's lives hang in the balance ; when men's hopes call upon us to say what we shall do" who dares answer "I will make money, I will get power and influence, respectability and luxury, social standing and ease." Yet back of man's choice lies no greater, no higher motive. 34 AMHERST COLLEGE CLASS BOOK Ten to one the man who makes that choice laughs at the church, a destructive critic, an ignorant judge, a lagging helper; looks at the teacher and on the schools with scornful pity; raises his eyebrows at honest lawyers; cares nothing about "dagos and wops"; sees only menace in labor unions, nonsense in socialism and pathetic innocence in the golden-rule business-man. What does he care that 55,000 human lives are the toll of modern industry in a single year! What if annually 2,000,000 poor human bodies are battered and maimed by the iron wheels of progress! If millions of men must work four- teen hours a day and seven days a week he cannot see that he is in any way affected. If iron hands are closing the doors of higher opportunity to the masses and government is vested in the privileged few and the favored many, does anything follow for him but to thank God he is not of the masses? You do not need your imagination to find a man who holds such views. He is to be found in every class-room, every dormitory, every fraternity house. He is a good fellow, personally likable, rea- sonable, well-disposed, clean-minded and sincere, lukewarm, to be sure, but by no means dead. A natural product of his time, he is blind from birth to many of the vital facts of life, constitutionally opposed to deep thinking, too comfortable to be very active, too happy to be alarmed by anything not obviously personal and immediate. Such men, my classmates, are the curse of our time; a worse obstacle to progress than pauperism ; more dangerous than the cor- rupt politician ; more numerous than the grafters ; sinners by omis- sion and criminals by negligence. We have laws to punish the care- lessness of those responsible for the laborer's body; but how ought we to deal with the neglect of intellectual leaders responsible for his mind ! What shall we say of the American college man who plans his future regardless of the needs of his country, the cause of humanity, and the Avill of God. What the age needs is that man who goes into business or any other calling primarily to serve his fellows, not to be served by them. The call to us — the class of 1913 — is for a real consecration to the ideals of justice and of service; for the Old and New Testament clothed in human mind and heart. Plainly then it is our duty to think of such things more now. If we do not we never shall — until shocked by some bitter experience NINETEEN HUNDRED AND THIRTEEN 35 of life. We have been chosen and set apart for this cause: that we may carry the standards and lead the forces of humanity in the new struggle for liberty. The way will open ; our path will be made plain, that we can believe if, setting our faces steadfastly toward the new day, we strive to bring into the world a new and better human brotherhood, a truer democracy, a more universal and lasting peace. Heeding the call of God in our souls, let us here highly resolve to consecrate ourselves anew to the welfare of mankind in whom He dwells. It is not for us to boast and dream of selfish triumph; it is ours to pray and dedicate. It is not for us to seek goods, but good ; not to be ministered unto but to minister. If we do these things we can be sure that by our having lived the world is brought a little nearer to "that far off divine event toward which the whole creation moves." 3fn HJemortam Paltfr Saatpty Sajoagljt ®Ijp (Elans 3* AMHERST COLLEGE CLASS BOOK HAROLD GATES ALLEN K© Harry is the kind of man that does not confine his efforts to one activity, but goes out to gain and give benefit in as many lines as possible. He has had his shoulder behind the 1913 wheel in Football, Baseball, Basketball and Track, and after four years of toil on the Varsity squad has deservedly won his "A." He was also a member of the Christian Association star chamber and is a veteran of three years tinkling on the mandolin club. Harry engaged in a last lap pursuit of the elusive Phi Beta Kappa key and finally connected. Nice work, Harry! Harry HERBERT CHARLES ALLEN AY Hub is one of the few men in the class who really know anything about the "encircling hills" of Am- herst. In pursuit of beast and bird he is a familiar figure as a hunter in company with Loomis and Morse. Senior year he imported a car from his native town, and the last part of his college course was punctuated by night and day auto trips. For four years Hub chant- ed hymns to us from behind the pulpit, and for the last two his sonorous basso helped to round out the Glee Club singing. He has shown a habitual weakness for Sun- day night trips over the Notch, and report has it that he is invariably successful in that line. Hub is of the slow and sure variety, the sort that gets what he is after in the right way. Hub NINETEEN HUNDRED AND THIRTEEN 39 GEOFFREY ATKINSON B®n No, gentlemen, this is not a bear, but only our Jeff. Beneath that rugged exterior is the best-humored funniest, wittiest man God almost ever made. Jeff wouldn't let you say so though, because another of his virtues is sincere modesty. Jeff came to us Junior year from Columbia, and it was not long be- fore his rolling style of navigation and his varied line of stories became well known around college. He has been a strong friend to many of us, and those who knew him well were not surprised when he con- nected with cum laude honors at commencement time. A keen de- light in adventure, an equally keen brain and a strong determination leave us guessing as to where Jeff will end up on this terrestrial ball. From present indications it will be on one of the high places. OTIS AVERILL AA$ Jeff Oats is the initial member of the taciturn twins from Flushing. He is one of those exceptional indi- viduals who regulate their utter- ance by the rule "Never speak un- less you have something worth while to say." We have found him as square in his dealings as his shoulders indicate. Strength records testify to the care he has taken of the physical man. He gave us proof of "stick-to-it-iveness" and loyalty on the football field last fall. To those privileged to know him well, he has shown a capacity for true friendship more of which we would covet for ourselves. Oats 4 o AMHERST COLLEGE CLASS BOOK Frank, Babbie, Pep FRANK LUSK BABBOTT, JR. AA3> If we had taken a vote as to the truest gentleman among us Frank would have been unanimously elect- ed. We did vote him the most good-natured man, but that is only part of it. He has a capacity for humor and sympathy which has made him the friend of every man in the class and most in college. Frank has worked hard for the class and college both on our swim- ming teams and as our cheer leader. It was in the latter position that he was best known senior year, and some of us learned a thing or two about courtesy to opposing teams when Frank was in command of the bleachers on Pratt field. Thoughtfulness for others and a habit of forgetting himself in all his acts should win him success in his career as a physician. CHARLES FIFIELD BAILEY AKE Cute, chubby and cherubic! Charles Fifield — Fifield being a sanctified family heirloom — has hopped and warbled his way into more or less prominence since he first infested the classic shades with us. There were various dance and social committees as would nat- urally fall to his lot. Then after a long, arduous chase of pop flies, plain flies and mere highballs, Monte became manager of Steve's ball team. During the winter he began a sizable collection of Ibsen, Shaw, Maeterlink, et cetera, and along with several other Bohemians sipped the cool Falernian and dis- sected Brieux on — hist — Sunday evenings. Thank the Lord Chas. F. is not a moss-backed stand-pat- ter. There is hope for Vermont yet. Monte, Fiji NINETEEN HUNDRED AND THIRTEEN 4i PRESTON ROGERS BASSETT AY Those of us who remember the heavy gymnastic stunts pulled off freshman year in North dorm with ruinous results to its much abused ceilings beneath will grant that Babe's progress toward the perfect grass-hopper has been long drawn out and along original lines. Each vear he has broken his record until finally he proved himself worthy of the "A" in the Intercollegiate meet this year, by jumping higher than himself. If he continues to clear obstructions with the ease and grace he developed in college he'll get the jump on most of us. Babt KENNETH BURWELL BECKWITH $A® The camera man has favored most of us, but this picture really doesn't give Beck his full due. He is better looking than that and has always been considered among the "ornamental" members of 1 9 1 3. Ken has been useful, too. Freshman year he played good ball on the 1913 baseball team and during the last two years he has worked on the Varsity squad. Beck also had a pretty good voice, which, combined with ability to play the traps, made him an addi- tion to the musical clubs at va- rious stages of his college course. Membership in the Cotillion club, artistic dancing, and the ability to room for two years with George Stone without becoming either a highbrow or an iconoclast are other achievements of Beck's career at Amherst. Ken, Beck 42 AMHERST COLLEGE CLASS BOOK HORACE POTTER BELDEN B©LT Beldie, Hod Horace never works — at least no one has ever caught him at it. From his famous poetic namesake Beldie inherits a few choice habits. It has not been discovered whether the former used perfumed soaps, but tastes in rich viands and Epicu- rean waters are common to both. And besides all this Hod consumes vast quantities of poetry, though not in the Latin to be sure. In oc- casional spells of activity this lisp- ing product of the Buckeye state found time to grace the Sophomore and Senior Hop committees. He has a quiet sense of humor that fits in well with his drawling delivery and languishing gait. CHAUNCEY BENEDICT *Y Chau nee, Benie "Ain't he just the grandest man!" But Benie rolled haughtily on his way; he has no use for girls at all. Furthermore he has led the life of a comparative saint in spite of obstacles such as rooming for three years with Connolly and Tilden. Scholastically Benie had his little ups and downs, one of Shorty's Botany courses being the cause of a particularly memorable downfall ; but Benie fooled them in the end. On the smooth, glistening surface of Pratt rink he was at his best, however, and many an attack- ing forward line found that Benie's "powerful build" was not all news- paper talk. Ere leaving this hand- some man we must also note his get-there spirit and his genial smile, attributes which should help him to encounter the exigencies of the future with success. NINETEEN HUNDRED AND THIRTEEN 43 harold McMillan bixby *y For a fat man — watch him rise — Bix is surely an active boy. He plays football, baseball, tennis, and floats the length of the tank. As president of the class for two years he has had to curb some of his natural propensities and to vent his spleen on the faculty by means of sundry drawings and remarks in the Four Leaf Clover, et al. He is also the official entertainer of the chaperones at the meetings of the Cotillion Club. Furthermore — and nearer to the point — Bix's sympathy is as broad as his waist band, and his generosity a few yards greater. pi ***• » L ^~* 1 A A Bix, Steamer ARTHUR HAZARD BOND X Behold the human dynamo. Bondy is not satisfied with the amount one can learn in Amherst. Each summer he finds pleasure in passing off advanced courses at M. I. T. Bondy is as systematic as a machine, turns out the lesson each day, oils up his slide rule, and gets ready for tomorrow. This was not enough for a day's work, however. Arthur found time to manage the Musical clubs and at- tend swimming practice regularly. He was often at a loss for amuse- ment when he found himself a week ahead in his work, dates for concerts straightened out and no practice to attend. But alas he has a weakness — a strange aversion for the opposite sex. We hand it to Arthur for his ability in the class room, business ability, and for being besides a good fellow. Bondy, Hortense 44 AMHERST COLLEGE CLASS BOOK WAYLAND HOYT BROWN *Y Brownie Brownie is one of the boys who had more pep than the rest of us and left our midst, diploma in hand, after three years. We are sorry that Brownie could not lin- ger in the enchanted isles for the fourth and best year of our course, but we appreciated him while he was at Amherst. Brownie was always a sticker. Besides staying with six or more courses each semester until Shorty had to hand out the coveted sheepskin ahead of time, Brownie stayed with the football squad as end and quarter until the fall of Junior year, when he got a crack that put him out of the game for good. He was al- ways a good fellow, quiet and sin- cere, and we wish him luck. ROBERT HENRY BROWNE X3> Browny, Pug "In case of doubt look wise and say nothing" is the doctor's maxim and Browny says, "Do it anyway." From that massive hat-rack has come forth action that bespeaks much serious thought. Any man who can collect class dues for two years, do it without much discourse and not get in wrong is a genius. Perseverance is his middle name. It has characterized his efforts in the class-room, his work for 19 13, and his work for the college. Four years' hard work on the football squad won him his "A." We're glad he got it. As our class mar- shal he has led us for two years. May he continue to be a leader in the affairs of the world. NINETEEN HUNDRED AND THIRTEEN 45 TIMOTHY JOSEPH BURNS Burnsie was one of the quietest members of the class and at the same time one of the busiest and liveliest. That is a pretty good recommendation to hand a man for a starter. But Burnsie has got it coming to him and more too. Any man who can go through col- lege with as high a stand as Burn- sie did, and make his own way absolutely unassisted by passing on pearls of knowledge to the youth of the high schools of the sur- rounding country, has a bow com- ing from 1913. Besides doing a lot of work Burnsie was always a good friend and a genial com- panion. We predict that the roll call twenty-five years hence will find him higher up than most of us. B urnsie FREDERICK LESLIE CADMAN B@n Words cannot do justice to the Doctor. Caddie is a large-footed, Cyrano-like, extremely humorous and good-natured stude, who works all night and smokes all day. He never has so much to do that he cannot sit and talk or play a few virtuoso cords on the piano for your edification. His wide experience on both sides of the pond, his boy- ish love of fun, his copious intellect, his big heart and genial smile make everyone his friend, and that Am- herst youth who has not heard Caddie cackle doesn't know what a real laugh sounds like. There are big things ahead of Les if he ap- plies the gifts nature has given him so generously, and we know that he will honor the Phi Beta Kappa key that he has tied to his watch chain. Caddie. Les 4 6 AMHERST COLLEGE CLASS BOOK HAROLD VAN YORK CALDWELL <£K* Van was our first choregus, ap- pointed by the sovereign power of 19 1 2 on the first Saturday of our college course. His success was so startling that he was never re- elected. He has always been iden- tifying himself with some such for- lorn hope and often with much solider success. He has written poetry for the Monthly, managed the Four Leaf Clover, exercised for the Heavy Gym Team and taken Utter's English courses. Men of forceful opinions and unusual pur- poses are rarely appreciated at full value in a small college, and per- haps Van has been one of these men. We have found good nature, determination and "pep" in his make-up, and believe he will come out on the top of the pile. Van, Cracko, Caldy LOUIS GOLDSBOROUGH CALDWELL AY Poet, follower of Kant, Bergson, etc., good fellow, player — violin, of course — Sunday School teacher and Phi Beta Kappa; Louie couldn't help the last. In the course of his perambulations in the classic shades he nonchalantly accu- mulated the highest average in the class. And, mirabile dlctu, it did not spoil him as a digestible and likable fellow. One of his side- lines was to direct The Monthly on its stately way. He looks to us like a corporation lawj^er in embryo and we believe he will make a good one. Louie NINETEEN HUNDRED AND THIRTEEN 47 CHAUNCEY PAUL CARTER AY Chaunce is another of the boys who slipped one over on us by graduating in three years. It takes brains and hard work to get through Amherst in three years — we're not saying what it takes to get by in four with. But besides putting away the courses Chaunce did several other things that went to make 1913's reputation at the college. In the first place he did some of the speediest swimming that has ever been pulled off in Pratt natatorium, and was elected captain of the swimmers at the end of Freshman year in conse- quence. Chaunce certainly could tear through the water. Then in the second place he ran one of the very finest Junior proms that was ever held at the college and one which will long be remembered by us. In the process he demonstrated that he was a good busi- ness man and we look to see this ability land him among the 191 3 millionaire's club (yet to be formed). Ch launce, Nick GEORGE EWING CLAPP What can a Class Book say about a quiet, retiring man of this sort? We have seen George in regular attendance at chapel and at class and now and again at the swimming pool, but have not got- ten as well acquainted with him as we ought. By residing in Hamp with several fair relatives not far away he has had it on most of us in that direction. George started out with 19 1 2 but decided to grad- uate with a good class, and we con- gratulate him on his sagacity and judgment. Geor. 48 AMHERST COLLEGE CLASS BOOK JOHN LOCKE COATES AA$ Jack. John Class basketball for four years has borne evidence of Jack's energy. The Student for a time, and the Sophomore and Senior Hop Com- nittees, have engaged him otherwise in college. Furthermore he has shown his metal as a scholar. We feel that he might hnve done more had he tried and agree that in life he will be successful. Confident, tactful and optimistic, John's smile has won him a welcome in the class. May the Good Cheer fol- low him all his life through. SAMUEL HENRY COBB X<£> Here is a man with an exterior that would grace any presidency except that of the Morris Chair Athletic Association — for inactivity is his soul's abhorrence. Samuel is more or less of a model youth, and is always in disgustingly good con- dition. He loped away with the interclass cross-country prize for three years, and then with the in- stincts of a gentleman stepped out Senior year to give somebody else a chance. The captaincy of the Track Team was a fitting culmina- tion to Sam's four years of hard, conscientious and successful en- deavor on the field. We make bold to assert that Sam has gotten as Sammy, Sam much out of college as any man in the class, if not more — for he has learned method. It makes us sick at heart to see the order, arrangement, and perfect routine of his behaviour. And he works — none harder. Sam belongs to the lead- ing lights of the college by virtue of a Scarab hat. A Cotilion Club pin graces his manly chest. Above all, his flashing smile has won him friends abroad and at home. We don't worry about Sammy, and our respect r.nd regard for him are sincere. NINETEEN HUNDRED AND THIRTEEN 49 FRANK SAMUEL COLLINS B@n Collins is big business and sys- tem on spindle shanks that look as though they'd cave in at any mo- ment. "Animated coat rack" is a good name for Frank's mortal frame, and its capacity for sliding through the water in submarine fashion has brought him the Am- herst record for the plunge, and a goodly number of points for the college as well. After proving his business ability as football man- ager, Frank turned his attention to the literary side of life, which with his athletic proclivities goes to show that he is pretty much of an all-round man. He works hard for what he gets and he has gotten some pretty good things, which he is going to use in helping Daddie Collins in the lumber business next year Frank, Irish Irish also has his eye on the dove-cote and we hereby recommend him as a ideal husband and father. BARTHOLOMEW JOSEPH Bart has been a pretty good- sized man around Amherst and has done a lot for the college in one capacity or another. He has been about everything from Captain of the Football team and Scarab to President of the Sphinx Club and left field on the Psi U baseball team. When Bart can persuade his feet from the railing of the front porch he goes after things hard. He can negotiate a Bib. Lit. theme or run a "440" — and do both in record time. He has worked hard for Amherst on field, track and Athletic Board, and he's been a good friend. From our knowledge of him he won't have to follow his interference in the business world very long, and when he does get a clear field, it will be good-bye Bart. CONNOLLY, JR. *Y Bart, Mose 50 AMHERST COLLEGE CLASS BOOK RAYMOND WITHERSPOON CROSS AArA This is Walt, one of our rough and ready boys: rough, so the un- derclassmen say, when on the bas- ketball floor; ready, we all know, for anything at any time. Ever since last year's Olio, Cutie has been hunting for a mystery to go with his Mona Lisa smile. Up to date no one has successfully solved the riddle of why Walter reformed ; although the curriculum has offered him no incentive to work, this reformation has shown us what Walt can do if he thinks it worth doing. He would have graduated in three years if the faculty had given him credit for consistent fussing and dancing. Walt, Kid, Cutie 52 AMHERST COLLEGE CLASS BOOK JOHN EDEN FARWELL ©AX John, sometime in his early youth, discovered that he wanted to be a lawyer, and has advanced toward this goal ever since. He lent his musical ability to the man- dolin ticklers in his early college career, but rinding that such college honors were but vanity, he has since devoted his spare time to the devel- opment of his natural cleverness in writing short stories and poetry, and in fireside philosophy and Con- stitutional Law. Jack pulled a heavy vote for Class Chimney, and deserved more than he got. If the filthy weed does not get the better of him, he may land on the Supreme bench some day. Jack, Farrell RAYMOND JAMES FITZSIMMONS ®AX "Tralalala, tralalala, tralalala," — with crescending, heart-break- ing innosation — In again by all that's Holy(oke). Yes, this good-looking, curty-haired youth is our Tuffie. And he can sing too despite what his best friends say. For several years he has lent his vocal accomplishments to soft- en the aggregation of strains per- petrated by the Glee Club, and Senior year he was one of Bob Hamilton's star quartet in "The Taming of the Shrew." Fitz's ready wit and unlimited nerve have put him on friendly terms with most of the faculty as well as with all the rest of us. He could tell stories with Lanky — going some — or discuss poetry with Andrews, and went down to split a grape with Billy Cowles on occasion. He'll succeed in spite of us. Tuffie, Fitz NINETEEN HUNDRED AND THIRTEEN 53 FRANCIS TIMOTHY GILLIGAN SAP "Where the river Shannon flows" is Frank's favorite song. It is to be sung slowly with a great deal of feeling, and in any key which happens to suggest itself. Don't disparage the Emerald Isle in Frank's presence or be prepared to take the consequences. Be equal- ly careful to cast no slur on Holy- ke, Massachusetts. "I know the city well, sir, and while it has cer- tain disadvantages it is the greatest city on earth." Frank came here from Holy Cross as a Sophomore. He ran in the cross-country one year and placed for 19 13 in the S. H. Williams Meet. Gillie was after an education and he worked hard for it — two places where he had it on many of us. He is capa- Tim, Gillie ble of some real humor on occasion and is a true friend. HORATIO GATES GLEN, JR. *Y What, an athlete? Yes, Mad- am; he . could throw "the bull" farther than any man in college. That's why they elected him Edi- tor-in-chief of the Amherst Stu- dent. He was a good man for the job, too. Anyone who can send one of the brothers up to answer for him in class in order that he may write an editorial against that infamous practice is a genius and has our hearty approval. We are also forced to admit that there were brains behind some of those editorials and not a little wit on occasion. Glen's old team-mate, Richards, was responsible for much of the latter, but BeeVee would have his little joke, too. And who was it whose fertile brain was behind the weighty (?) decisions of Scarab? Who, after long and profitless debate between Leiper, Stilwell and Merrill with occasional sarcastic utterance from Richards, rose, cigar in hand, and smacked the elusive nail squarely on the head, with a deftness that would have won commendation from Prexy himself? Well, all this was our BeeVee. BeeV eev ee 54 AMHERST COLLEGE CLASS BOOK PAUL FRANCIS GOOD Paul When Paul blew in from the west in the fall of 1909 we knew we had a student on our hands trom the crack of the gun. He got a good start too — no joke to that — and when Junior year came around landed among 1913's finest in Phi Beta Kappa. He worked hard for it and deserved all he got. At the same time he was al- ways a pleasant companion, and his overallowance of brains helped not a few of the rest of us over the hard places. Paul is a hustler and a good mixer. He ought to make good in every sense of the word. THEODORE AINSWORTH GREENE AAA® College to our German Prince was a pretty continuous battle from start to finish. Through four foot- ball seasons Fritz fought hard for Amherst down on Pratt field, and when spring came around he w r as on hand working to get his 190 pounds of brawn behind hammer, shot and discus in proper form. And all the time Fritz was battling to keep himself in college scholasti- cally and financially. Always smiling, he has a combination of good nature and determination which nothing can down. He is known and respected by every member of the faculty — more than most of us can say. We're as proud of him for graduating as of any member of 1913, and that's saying a good deal. Jeff , Fritz, Dutch, Prince WILLIAM GALLOWAY HAMILTON A® Yes, gentlemen, this is one of the few good things that ever ori- ginated with the class of 19 12. We hesitated about allowing this dark haired Apollo to enter the annals of 19 13, but finally decided that he might be rather an orna- mental addition. Perry is one of these men that the girls designate as tall, dark and handsome! He is a firm believer in the conserva- tion of energy except where foot- ball and baseball are concerned. Prout got out of bed at Pratt college one day last fall and walk- ed down to see if Coach Hobbs would let him play in the game that afternoon. Yes, he just hates football. A terror with the ladies, one of the fastest ends that Amherst ever had, and a damn good boy w T hen vou know him — that's the Chief. Prout, Perry, Chief 74 AMHERST COLLEGE CLASS BOOK JAMES ROBERT QUILL Jimmy has been prominent in our Class Baseball, Football and Basketball teams and has enjoyed reflected athletic glory from his association with Mike Madden. Close shaves are Jimmy's special line however. He stayed in Hunt Block one year too long, and his jinx got him in the shape of a night-shirt eviction this spring, worse than any "Ould Ireland" ever saw, when fire destroyed the historic "gold coast." Jimmy is a good sport, one of our most genial spirits, and we wish him all luck on his way to the bar (legal). immv RUSSELL BRUCE RANKIN $A© Russ is another of the boys who started out with 19 12 but who saw the error of his ways in time to graduate with 19 13. He has been in probably more scholastic difficulties and gotten out of them again than any man in the class or in 1 9 12 for that matter. He is an artist at playing the mando- lin and in company with George Scatchard has brought mingled de- light and misery to more than one hang-out. Russ was best known, however, as the cleverest member of the Heavy Gym team on which he has been a star per- former off and on during his col- lege course, that is whenever the faculty would let him. Eligible 01 not Russ has held the title of College Gymnast ever since we can remember. Always maintain- ing a quiet and unassuming bearing, Russ has been ever ready to join in with the rest of the boys, and by the way — he's another who's booked to make trouble for Merrill. Rus NINETEEN HUNDRED AND THIRTEEN 75 IRVING EDWARD RICHARD AKE "I'm a bold bad man and a des- perado." Wouldn't think it to look at him, would you ? No ; that was just one of his little say- ings and doesn't signify much as to his real character. The last time we saw Dick in action was on the Grove stage at our com- mencement, when he delivered a How of humorous discourse found in another part of this book. Dur- ing his college course Dick was one of those hard-working crim- inals who got out The Student and Senior year was Managing Editor of that sheet. He was al- ways a good man to have around when you wanted to laugh ; some of his scintillations will be found in this book, for which he is in part to blame. Dick is to enter newspaper work. He was a star reporter while in college and should make good in the big leagues. Dick GAIN ROBINSON XK* The star of our shambling states- man from Syracuse is still in the ascendant. A unique Olio, the de- bating team, the Monthly, the Christian Association and the Com- mittees have shown us a bit of Lew's capacity for work. Nor have his courses been slighted. Lew has earned the distinction of the man giving the greatest promise of suc- cess in life. He is gifted with a bi^ heart and a personality to back it up. But we are not drawing a picture of a saint, for best of all the deacon combines a saving sense of humor with a broad-mindedness that makes him a welcome addition to any gathering. Deacon, Lew, Lazarus 8o AMHERST COLLEGE CLASS BOOK BRUCE NEGUS STIMETS Bruce Bruce has probably inhabited Pratt gymnasium more than any other member of the class. Fresh- man and Sophomore years the hun- dred-pound weight and other ap- paratus had a strong fascination for him, and as a consequence he ranks among the strongest men in the class. For the last two years squash and handball have occupied his attention, and an occasional jog with the Cross-country team. With an athletic record of this sort and a record of all the Math and Physics courses that were ever heard of around Amherst, he is expected to make a suc- cess as an engineer — whether civil, mechanical or merely an automo- bile chauffeur. ALBERT LOUIS STIRN *Y Al, Ach Looie Softly, sweetly and serenely, en- cumbered with a large pair of overshoes and an umbrella, two books under his arm, his brain busy busting holes in Bergson, Ach Looie is on his early morning trip to the library, where he will spend the day. This strict application to those grains of wisdom scat- tered in the books and the almost utter neglect of those hunks scat- tered elsewhere, have made us see too little of Al. We dare say that on the showdown he could write a few books of his own. For the rest he prefers to do the laborious tasks, such as compiling the class statistics. This love of work and persistent application "argufy" well for Ach Looie. NINETEEN HUNDRED AND THIRTEEN 81 GEORGE LESTER STONE 3>A® We had a hard time to secure this likeness of George's earthly lineaments. 'Tis but a snap shot taken in one of the few brief mo- ments when we were able to entice George down from the transcen- dental world, where he preferred to spend most of his time. He always claimed to be an iconoclast — whatever that is. We refused to notice him when he began to talk like that. We simply knew that he was a profound student of philosophy and literature. He was as well an expert artist with the violin, fiddling on the musical clubs and the dramatic cast at various stages of his sojourn in Amherst. Besides being a high- brow and evolving ideas that never saw light before, George could be extremely humorous on occasion and was a mighty good fellow. George, Stonny NELSON STONE K© For two years Nel has jogged over the dusty roads around Am- herst with the 19 1 3 Cross-Country team, helping that star aggrega- tion to continue as college champs. He has taken quite a fancy to cur- riculum work, too. In fact he likes it so much that he is going to take a course in "Tech" now that Amherst has given him her share. As a good boy who is will- ing to do anything for a friend we will have to go some to beat Nel, and such a character ought to go far in bringing him success as an engineer.
