Dedication of Fackenthal Laboratories 

Gift of B. F. Fackenthal, Jr., Sc.D. 

Address by Charles M~ Schwab, LL.D. 

The Fackenthal Laboratories building 

at Franklin and Marshall College, 

munificent gift of B. F. Fackenthal, 

•Jr., Sc.D., president of the Board of 

Trustees, was dedicated the morning 

of November 1, with an address by 

Charles JVr:. Schwab, LTJ.D., an old 

friend of Dr. Fackenthal and honorary 

alumnus of Franklin and Marshall 

College. 

This fireproof buildinO" of Georo'ian 

Colonial design, completely equipped 

with modern appliances, has been 

erected at a cost of $250,000. Located 

west of the Biesecker Gymnasium, 

it is devoted to the applied sciences 

of biology and chemistry. 

The donor, Dr. Facken.thal, of 

Riegelsville, Pa., retired ironmaster, 

has been a member of the Board of 

Trustees of the college for 30 years 

and its president since 1915. He endowed 

the department of biology 

"ome years ago and was given a testimonial 

dinner by the alumni of the 

college at the last commencement. 

The building was presented to the 

college by the donor and was accepted 

FACKENTHAL LABORATORIES

.., 

2 THE FRANKLIN AND MARSHALL ALUMNUS [Nov. 

CHARLES M. SCHWAB, LL.D. 

and dedicated by Dr. Henry H. 

Apple, the president. In addition to 

the interesting address by Dr. Oharles 

M. Schwab, greetings were expressed 

for the Eastern Synod, Reformed 

Ohurch in the U. S., by its president, 

Dr. Wm. F. De Long; and for the 

Association of Pennsylvania Oollege 

presidents, meeting in connection 

with this dedication, by ex-Gov. M. G. 

Brumbaugh, LL.D., president. Two 

honorary degrees were conferred, that 

of doctor of science upon John 

Markle, New York, who was unable 

to be present on account of illness; 

and doctor of letters upon Howard 

McOlanahan, of Philadelphia. 

In presenting the building, Dr. 

Fackenthal referred to his long association 

with the Board of Trustees of 

Franklin and Marshall and spoke of 

the deep impression made upon him 

by the gift of a similar building to 

Lafayette College by Jolin Markle, a 

trustee of that institution, in 1902. 

"Since that time," Dr. Fackenthal 

said, "it has been my dream to give 

a similar building to Franklin and 

Marshall Oollege. Now this dream 

has been realized, and I am happy 

to present this building to our institution. 

" 

In accepting the key from Dr. 

Fackenthal, President Henry H. 

Apple said, "Dr. Fackenthal, it is 

with a feeling of peculiar gratitude 

and joy that I accept this building in 

behalf of the Board of Trustees, the 

faculty, the students, the Alumni 

and, I may add, the friends of Franklin 

and Marshall Oollege-and it is 

with a keen sense of responsibility 

that I exercise the prerogative of the 

president of the college in naming 

and dedicating the 'Fackenthal Laboratories. 

' 

"Your gift has a three-fold significance: 

it adds a building and serves 

to enlarge the equipment of an educational 

institution; it provides for 

thorough work in the sciences of 

biology and chemistry which is essential 

for the instruction of youth and 

the training for leadership in this 

modern age; and, above all else, it 

reveals the generous heart which has 

actuated you in your eminently successful 

career in business, in literary 

pursuits, and in your rich service for 

human welfare. Your former service 

to this institution merited and secured 

our deepest admiration and commendation. 

Under your wise and careful 

guidance as president of the Board 

of rrrustees, the number of students 

increased from 187 to 734, the faculty 

from 13 to 44, the endowment 

from $170,000 to more than a million, 

with the addition of 7 buildings, and 

internal efficiency was correspondingly 

strengthened. In this new 

princely gift you touch the hidden 

springs of our hearts and excite such

4 'fHE FRANKLIN AND MARSHALL ALUMNUS [Nov. 

devotion and love that is more genuinely 

felt than can be adequately 

expressed in the words in which I 

sincerely thank you for it. 

"We now solcmnly dedicate the 

Fackenthal Laboratories, with most 

modern and complete equipment, for 

the purpose for which the building is 

designed-the study of the sciences, 

as a part of liberal education and in 

recognition of sound scholarship as a 

nquisite of an educated man and 

vital to his happiness and usefulness 

in life. In this act we dedicate ourselves 

and pledge a renewed obligation 

to the best that is in us in our 

service in this institution. This shall 

be a sacred trust to us and in our joy 

we pray the rich blessing of God upon 

you alld your welfare." 

Dr. Schwab made an address in 

which he presented a strong plea for 

sentiment in business. "Divest business 

of sentiment," he said, "and you 

cannot have a successful business. 

The industrial leaders in America receive 

their greatest pleasure in life 

not from making money, but from being 

able to do something for their 

fellowmen. It is the ambition and 

striving for something that brings 

happiness, not the realization. Rather 

than have a memorial of stone or 

bronze when I am gone I would prefer 

to leave long lines of smoking 

pipes of steel mills." Mr. Schwab 

pled for humility in life, saying: 

"There is no real education that is 

not self-education. 'fhe college boy 

has an advantage over the boy without 

a college degree if he does not get 

an exaggerated opinion of his importance. 

" He continued: " Although 

I am a trustee of three great 

universities, it is in the small college 

that the boy not only gains knowledge 

but absorbs the spirit and the character 

of the faculty by intimate, personal 

contact." A warm tribute was 

paid by the speaker to his old friend, 

Dr. Fackenthal, for his perfect qualities 

and this generous gift to Franklin 

and Marshall. 

Hensel Hall; where the exercises 

were held, was filled to overflowing 

with trustees, faculty, students and 

friends of the college. Among those 

present were: Dr. Frank Fackenthal, 

secretary of Columbia University, 

and Jack McGee of the Alpha Portland 

Cement Company, Easton, Pa., 

nephews of Dr. Fackenthal; Mr. 

Archibald Johnston, vice-president of 

the Bethlehem Steel Corp., Mrs. 

Johnston, and Judge E. J. Fox, 

Easton, Pa., president of the Board 

of Trustees of Lafayette College. A 

luncheon for the guests, trustees and 

college presidents concluded the 

event. 

'1'he new building, which is 158 

feet long and 51 feet wide, consists 

of a basement and 3 floors. It takes 

the place of the Science Building, 

erected in 1903, and provides adequate 

scientific equipment for the 

growing body of over 700 students, 

especially in pre-medical work, in 

which the college has been quite successful. 

• The first floor, devoted to 

chemistry, contains a lecture room, 

class room, organic, qualitative and 

quantitative laboratories, a balance 

room and the office of Prof. H. H. 

Beck, head of the department. The 

ground floor has the inorganic and 

physical chemistry laboratory, together 

with private laboratories for 

special research; supply room and 

dark room. The department of biology 

is located on the second floor 

with an office for its head, Dr. Mitchel 

Carroll, and 5 large laboratoriesphysiology, 

microbiology, embryology 

and histology, anatomy, and general 

biology, with a vivarium and supply 

rooms. The third floor, which is to 

be used for storage, contains the mechanical 

equipment of the heating 

and ventilating system. The labora-

1929J THE FRANKLIN AND MARSHALL ALUMNUS 5 

tories are ventilated by means of exhaust 

fans regulated by automatic 

control of compressed air. They have 

cement floors, tiled walls, and contain 

laboratory tables of the latest design, 

each with complete equipment. The 

Fackenthal Laboratories were designed 

by Charles Z. Klauder, of 

Philadelphia, who supervised its erection 

by the builder, D. S. Warfel, of 

Lancaster. 

Hungarian Bishop Receives 

Honorary Degree at F. and M. 

Seventy Biological Instruments 

Given to Fackenthal Laboratories 

In addition to the ,endowment of the biological 

professorship and the gift of the 

magnificent laboratories building, Dr. B. F. 

Fackenthal, Jr., is also the donor of more 

than seventy pieces of equipment for the department 

of biology. 

This apparatus ranges from delicate measuring 

instruments to a large electrical refrigerator, 

in which organisms can be subjected 

to low temperatures, and includes especially 

a dark-field and a slit ultra-microscope not 

usually found outside of the largest institutions. 

Dr. Mitchell Carroll, head of the department 

of biology, enthusiastically asserts, 

"With this new equipment we can do anything 

any biological laboratory can do. The 

added apparatus will double our facilities." 

Included among the new pieees is a Leitz 

tri-microscopic combination of the research 

type. WIth a bright field microscope, a 

dark-field ultra-microscope and a slit ultramicroscope, 

organisms may bs subjected to 

the most thorough scrutiny. Twenty compound 

and twenty Busch camera lucidas have 

been given, adapted to the more elementary 

Freshmen and Sophomore work. 

Other articles 01' equipment given by Dr. 

Fackenthal are two autoclaves of the horizontal 

type j one Arnold sterilizer; two electric 

incubators; one water still and storage 

tank; one Spencer colloidin microtome; one

BISHOP LADIsLAus RAVASZ 

The honorary degree of Doctor of 

Laws was conferred upon Bishop 

Ladislaus Ravasz, pastor of the Calvin 

Square Church, Budapest, Hungary, 

October 3, in Hensel Hall. 

The academic procession of members 

of the college and Theological 

Seminary faculty, with thirty ministers 

of the Hungarian church in the 

U. S., preceded the exercises. The 

procession was led by President H. 

H. Apple and John Pelenyi, Hungarian 

Charge d'Affairs, of Washington, 

D. C. Dr. George W. Richards, 

president of the Theological Seminary, 

who had just returned from 

Europe, where he attended several 

international religious assemblages, 

made the principal address. 

He gave an historical resume of the 

several tides of immigration of Reformed 

Church coming to the United 

States, with special emphasis upon


that of the Hungarian Reformed of 

the past fifty years and their organization 

into congregations under the 

Reformed Church in the United 

States. Franklin and Marshall was 

instanced as the only institution of 

the country which has a chair of Hungarian 

language and literature. 

Many students of this race haye 

been educated here during the past 

ten years, including leaders in 

scholarship and athletics. Dr. Alex~ 

ander Toth, head of the Hungarian 

Department of Literature and Religion 

also spoke, counting this the 

greatest day of his life in the consummation 

of linking up the Hungarian 

Reformed Church with the 

college. 

Dean Howard n,. Omwake presented 

Bishop Ravasz for the degree, stating 

that he is thc outstanding figure of 

the Hungarian Reformed Church, 

head of the Cis-Danubian Synod, 

pastor of thc Calvin Square Church, 

Budapest, writer and editor, and a 

member of the leading literary and 

scientific societies of Hungary. A reception 

was later given to Bishop 

Ravasz in the home of Dr. and Mrs. 

Richards, and a silver loving cup was 

presented to him by the Hungarian 

ministers, and a ring of affection to 

Dr. Toth. Bishop Havasz delivered 

the Swander lVIemorial lectures at the 

'rheological Scminary, the week before 

he received his degree, on 

"Metatheology in the Light of Calvinism. 

" 

Hungarian Secretary of 

Education Visits College 

Dr. Julius Komis, who is state secretary 

in the ministry of education in Hungary, 

and professor of education and philosophy 

in the University of Budapest, was the guest

of Hungarian literature and language. 

A reception was held for him October 12, 

in the Diagnothian Hall, in order that faCUlty 

members of the college, academy and seminary 

might meet him.

143rd Year Opens With 

Increased Enrollment 

The 143rd year of Franklin and 

Marshall College began September 19, 

with an enrollment of 734 students 

and 44 faculty members, including 4 

new instructors. President Henry 

I-I. Apple, LL.D., made the opening 

address upon "Problems of Student 

Life, " having in mind especially the 

more than 250 new students. 

A pre-freshman week, beginning 

September 14, had initiated new students 

into their new surroundings 

and the old traditions of the college. 

It was held under the auspices of a 

committee of which Robert L. Foose, 

'31, president of Interfraternity 

Council, was the chairman. Other 

members were Berry B. Lethbridge, 

'31, president of the Student Senate, 

and Elias H. Philips, president of the 

"Y." Its program included morning 

and evening meetings, a Sunday 

morning service at the First Reformed 

Church, and a trolley trip and hike 

to Pequea under the guidance of Dr. 

H. Justin Roddy, curator of the 

museum. Among those who addressed 

the frosh were Prof. Paul M. 

Limbert, Ph.D., teacher of religion; 

Dean Howard L. Omwake; Alumni 

Secretary Robert J. Pilgram; Student

NEW INSTRUCTORS 

HARRY A. ALTENDERFER (CHEMISTRY) 

Secretary Harold J. Budd, and Dr. 

E. E. Kresge, professor of philosophy. 

In his address of welcome, Dr. 

Apple spoke of the problems of selfdiscipline, 

thinking, and turning 

scholarship into power, and declared 

that the problem of character formation 

is the one of deepest significance. 

"Here the student must deal 'with 

religion," he said. "It is not my 

purpose to discllss religion but to assert 

that the student must face it. 

'l'he strongest men in college and out 

of college stand for religious ideals. 

"Too often a man's religion is second 

hand-an heirloolll from the past 

and not an experience in the present. 

His beliefs are not what he has tested 

and found to be reliable, but what 

others have told him concerning their 

supposed truths, and some of these 

when tried lllay prove to be unreliable. 

The result is that when a man 

faces the facts of life, his supposed 

religion crumbles into ruin, and he 

fancies he has lost his religion. As 

a matter of fact, he has no religion 

to lose. 

"'fo this situation there are various 

reactions. Some do nothing. 'fhey 

read no books, consult no authorities, 

make no tests. The result is what 

might be expected, nothing. Others 

attempt to find reality by accepting 

the ancient creeds; but creeds are to 

religion what chemical formulae are 

to the substances in the laboratorymore 

or less accurate attempts to interpret 

the real experience themselves. 

H 2 0 may be a correct analysis 

of 'water, but it is not a glass of 

'yater. Others hope to find the life 

of which religion speaks by means of 

yarious ritual observance. These are

valuable if they grow out of and express 

and deepen religious life, but 

they may also become dead forms. 

Still others become Bolshevists and 

throw all religion overboard as excess 

baggage, only to discover that they 

have solved no problems and havc 

given up what countless thousands of 

wise and good men prized as a source 

of life and peace and power and joy. 

'''rhe true reaction is a scientific 

one, and this I commend and urge 

upon you, namely, to make an honest 

test of religion for one's self. Those 

who make the experiment find it worth 

while. As Jesus is the supreme example 

of relig'ion at its highest and 

best, I advise you to study His life, 

learn His truths, and then see what 

happens when you live that life and 

put into practice His truths. It will 

crown life with the integrity of character 

that will make it "'orthy of confidence 

and abundantly rich in 

service. "

First Alumni Home-Coming 

The first Alumni Home-Coming, 

held the week-end of October 18-20, 

attracted hundreds of alumni to the 

college for the various events on the 

campus and at fraternity houses. 

While most of the visiting alumni 

came for the football game on Saturday, 

a number arrived Friday evening 

to take in all of the festivities. 

'fwo visitors were noted as the first 

arrivals, watching the football practice 

Friday afternoon, Rev. Charles 

E. "Stretch" Robb, '22, Tom's 

Brook, Va., and G. W. Kohler, '26, 

Freeland, Pa. Others came from 

every direction of the compass, probably 

the most distant being V. A. 

Barnhart, '02, Pittsburgh, Pa. A 

number of teachers and heads of educational 

institutions were present 'who 

cannot ordinarily attend the commencement 

exercises. 

Prominent alumni were among 

those who attended the opening 

smoker Friday evening after the 

Student Pep meeting at the Grand 

'fheatre. After a period of social 

enjoyment with cider and pretzels as 

refreshments, A. LeRoy Lightner, 

'04, New York, vice president of the 

Alumni Association, took the chair 

and introduced the following speakers: 

Sumner V. Hosterman, '98, District 

Attorney of Lancaster County; 

T. B. Appel, M.D., '89, trustee and 

secretary of health for Pennsylvania; 

Colonel Howard J. Benchoff, '98, 

head master of Massanutten Acadehy, 

Woodstock, Va.; Prof. Calvin A. 

Brown, '03, Merc.ersburg Academy 

(now a trustee) ; Dr. Joseph H. Apple, 

'85, president of Hood College, 

Frederick, Md., and Dr. E. M. Hartman, 

headmaster of Franklin and 

Marshall Academy, Lancaster, Pa. 

Alumni Secretary Pilgram also spoke 

and showed the latest reel of Franklin 

and Marshall movies, including 

a picture of the Penn-F. and M. 

game. 

The Alumni Association meeting, 

held at 10: 00 Saturday morning, was 

attended by almost as many alumni 

as come to the annual meeting. Vice 

President Lightner presided, and the 

meeting discussed plans for future 

celebrations of Home-Coming Day. 

Suggestions were made in regard to 

a college play, a party for wives of 

alumni, fraternity events and publicity, 

and it was generally agreed 

that the week-end of the game with 

Ursinus or Swarthmore should be 

chosen and that the smoker should be 

held earlier on Friday evening with 

Alumni Association meeting and 

buffet lunch in the Campus House on 

Saturday. 

The football game, fine weather and 

the unusual attendance of alumni 

made the 18-0 victory over Ursinus 

a delightful event on Saturday afternoon. 

An interested spectator was 

Don Cragin, '26, whose last minute 

drop kick won the Gettysburg game 

in 1922. 

Fraternity events featured Saturday, 

with the seventy-fifth anniversary 

dinner of Phi Kappa Sigma 

that evening in the Hotel Brunswick; 

Chi Phi open house, with many 

alumni irispecting the new building; 

Phi Kappa Psi holding a buffet 

luncheon with a reception for the 

alumni after the game; Phi Sigma 

Kappa giving a dinner and later a 

smoker; Lambda Chi Alpha holding 

a conclave of Pennsylvania and New 

Jersey Chapters with initiation; Phi 

Kappa 'l'au holding a dance Saturday 

evening; Sigma Pi with open 

house; Delta Sigma Phi celebrating 

its founding with a banquet; Sigma 

Delta Rho holding open house; Alpha 

Pi with an informal house dance Satm'day 

night. Over three hundred 

alumni of fraternities were noted as 

being present at the several houses.


[ BLUE AND WHITE ATHLETICS I 

Victorious Football Season 

A Credit to Poss Miller 

The football team, justifying the 

hopes of its supporters and the coaching 

of "Poss" Miller, opened the season 

by scoring upon Penn and won 

all but three games, against Penn, 

Lebanon Valley and Gettysburg. 

F. & M. VS. PENN, 7-14 

The beginning of this game, September 

28, was discouraging when 

Carlsten, Penn's back, made a 98 yard 

run on the kick off for a touchdown. 

However, Franklin and Marshall recovered 

and in the closing minutes of 

the first quarter made a touchdown 

after a 58 yard advance, Horst passing 

to Dorsey, who scored around 

right end. 'l'he tie score lasted until 

the third quarter when Penn through 

line plunges forced her way to a 

touchdown, F. & M. once holding for 

three downs, within the 5 yard line. 

Horst, quarterback, was the captain. 

This is the first score made by Franklin 

and Marshall against Penn for 

fourteen years. 

F. & M. VS. DICKINSON, 32-0 

The Blue and White under the 

leadership of Joe Schutt defeated 

Dickinson, October 5, on Williamson 

Field, 32-0. rrhe team played 

smoothly and scored in all but the last 

period, using about twenty-two players. 

This was the first conference 

game and Schutt, who captained, received 

a gold watch, presented by a 

fOllower of the team to the most valuable 

player in this game. 

F. & lVI. vs. LEBANON VALLEY, 0-6

second reverse of the season in a hard 

game, October 12, by a score of 6-0. 

The teams battled on even terms for 

three-quarters of the game until Lebanon 

Valley, coached by "Hook" 

Mylin, F. & M., '16, combined a reverse 

and lateral pass to take the ball 

across from the 4-yard line. Coach 

Miller's team was within 5 yards of 

scoring when the whistle blew at the 

end of the first half. "Hook" Mylin 

played on the F. & M. team which defeated 

Penn in 1914.

Carnegie Bulletin No. 23 

Surveys College Athletics 

The recently issued Bulletin No. 23 of the 

Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement 

of Teaching covers a survey of one hundred 

and twelve educational institutions in the 

U. S. and Canada, with reference to athletic 

conditions. It has been in preparation for 

the past three and one-half years, and finds 

only seventeen colleges guiltless of the charge 

of recruiting athletes, while twenty-eight are 

declared to be innocent of subsidizing student 

athletes. 

It is charged that one out of seven athletes 

receives compensation, and a "nationwide 

commel'ce in eligible athletes" is described 

in detail and condemned by the investigators. 

'l'he various methods mentioned that al'e 

used to enlist and SUppOIt athletes are 

familial' to most college men. They have 

been in vogue for a number of years and apply 

chiefly to football players. 

The report is excellent and all educators 

approve of the effort to better athletic conditions, 

which will probably improve under 

this publicity. 

A certain amonnt of injustice is apparent, 

however, in the fact that the investigation, 

at least at }~ranklin and Marshall, OCCUlTed 

foUl' years ago, and some of the conditions 

noted existing in previons years, have been 

changed. 

Franklin and Marshall is mentioned specifically 

as one of the schools where athletes 

are said to I'eceive tuition, board, room and 

fees without cash payments. It is also reported 

as one of the institutions in wrich 

fraternities provide fee board and lodging to 

athletics. A small subsidizing fund is also 

charged to be raised by alumni and business 

men at Franklin and Marshall. 

So far as is known, these conditions do 

not exist at Franklin and Marshall. Some 

students who are also athletes, receive studeut 

aid in the form of a concession on their 

contingent fees, but not the whole amount. 

This is provided for by the rules of the Easter~l 

College Athletic Conference which permIt 

only twenty-two receiving such aid to 

participate in football. 

Fraternities do not provide board and 

lodging for football players at Franklin and 

Marshall, as is evidenced by fact that the 

lattcr live in the Varsity Club House. If a 

"slush fund" is raised for our athletes it 

must be very small and decidedly under covel', 

for the college administration has no knowledge 

of it. 

"Student Aid" is given by the Board of 

T~ustees solely on the basis of financial need, 

WIth. the rigid requirement of scholastic 

qualI~catio~~. It is never given solely for 

athletIc abIlIty, although that is considered 

an asset in pcrsonality on the part of applicants 

just as much as that of ability in 

music 01' dcbate. Assist:mce is given also by 

working positions in the Library, the Laboratories 

and the Dean's office. Under all these 

conditions the requirements are identical. 

Sons of Ministers and Students for the Ministry 

are givon a concession of $100.00 a year 

without question. The collego is thus giving 

aid in one form 01' another to about one hundren 

and eighty students, most of whom could 

not secure a college education without this 

aid 

Ċareful investigation is Jnnde in each case 

to confu'm the need of financial assistance 

befOl'e the student is accepted. The members 

of the committee of the Board of Trustees 

are Ulen of integrity upon whose decision 

there can be no question of suspicion. The 

Committee consists of Charles F. Miller, 

Chairman; Fl'od. M. Biesecker, J. Wm. Bowman, 

Dr. Lee M. Erdman and Judge William 

H. Keller. 

The college is faithfully carrying out the 

provisions of the Eastern Collegiate Athletic 

Conference. It may be mentioned that delegates 

from Franklin and Marshall have 

sought to abolish 01' at least to reduce the 

number of athetes who may receive scholarship 

aid by the I'ules of the Conference, but 

thus far withotu success. 

Charles R. Apple Wins 

Hager Tennis Trophy 

Charles R. Apple, '30, defeated Ben Haseltine, 

'31, in the final round of the annual 

fall tennis tom'namont in straight sets, 8-6; 

6-3; 6-3, for the W. H. Hagel' Cup. 

Football Comment 

The" Old Grad" (Penn) in a recent issue 

of the Philadelphia Public Ledger admitted 

that" Franklin and Marshall is far superior 

to the average small-college elevens and congratulate 

their players and their coaches for 

their fine showing against Pennsylvania." 

Lancaster, as well as the student body, has 

backed up the team with fine support, several 

thousand going to Penn and many to Swarthmore 

and P. M. C. for the games there. The 

team has had good publicity, and bids fair 

to stand at the head of the Eastern Collegiate 

Athletic Conference when the season ends. 

The following players have participated 

in games: Ends, akes, ZeIner, SmokeI', 

Snyder, Hyland, Eden; tackles, Schutt, 

Fishel', Hoy, Konopka, White, Pontz, Briane, 

Neal, guards, Makos, Vorosmarti, Deodorian, 

Allen, Lawrence, Leinbach; cente.s, 

Mazloff, Pitman, Bash, Ranck; backs, Horst,

Director of Publicity 

George C. Crudden, Jl·., '31, who left college 

to enter newspaper work in Lancaster 

was appointed director of athletic publicity, 

by the athletic. council of the college last

His activity has been reflected in many 

articles on Franklin and Marshall's football 

team sent out by him during the Fall as he 

sends stories on Franklin and Marshall athletics 

to fifty-two papers in Pennsylvania 

and adjoining states. 

Director Crudden says: "If the alumni 

don't see Franklin and Marshall sport publicity 

in their papers, they should write to 

me in Cal'e of the college and I will take it 

up with the newspapers." 

Pan-Hellenic Dance 

The Interfl'aternity council has planned

met October 19, during the Alumni Home 

Coming, and laid plans for its 1929 activity. 

The annual gifts of the alumni will be

Our First Alumni Home-Coming 

The Alumni Home-Coming, as noted in the dcscriptive article, 'Tas a good 

beginning for this event but fell far short of its possibilities. 

A number of loyal alumni, including some prominent busy men, ,,"ere 

present from Friday evening to Saturday night but many more who should 

have been present did not put in an appearance. The number of those 

on the campus should have been trebled. 

Particularly noticeable was the absence of alumni of Lancaster city and 

county. This may have been due to their idea that the event was not for 

them, but for more distant sons of Franklin and Marshall. Their absence, 

however, was noted by visiting alumni, who could not understand why more 

Lancaster men werc not present at the smoker and Alumni Association 

meeting. 

Hereafter it will be well for our Lancaster alumni to realize that they 

are hosts of the event, and to show the spirit of hospitality in meeting the 

alumni who take the time and money to come from distant places to their 

Alma Mater. 

Many came only for the football game and were noted in the stands as 

Franklin and Marshall scored a decisive victory over its ancient rival, Ursinus. 

Three hundred were listed as attending and visiting their fraternity houses. 

The total must have been at least twice as large. The delightful weather 

helped a lot. . 

Fraternity chapters assisted in giving publicity to the Home-Coming by 

special letters to their alumni inviting them to dinners and smokers and this 

cooperation was much appreciated. 

Valuable suggestions were made at the alumni meeting for the arrangements 

of next year's Home-Coming, the date for which has been tentatively set 

as October 25, 1930, the day of the Franklin and Marshall-Muhlenberg game. 

Let us make this second annual Home-Coming a big success. 

Three Long Rays for "Poss" Miller 

At last the season of football success has come, and the man of the hour, 

"Poss" Miller, has- reached his goal. 

Alumni everywhere have been elated by the weekly newspaper story of 

victory for the Blue and White with the exception of only the first and third 

games. Penn's victory was discounted in advance by all but the most rabid 

fans; and over-confidence led to defeat by Lebanon Valley. 

However, we can"spot" these two games, with six other victories in the 

bag, including the three Conference games thus far played. Six wins out 

of nine games is the best record Franklin and Marshall has made for seven 

years.

1929] 'fHE FH.ANKLIN AND MARSHALL .ALUMNUS 17 

We give great credit to the skill and spirit of a fighting team, but the 

greatest meed of praise must go to our chunky, modest coach, "Poss" Miller, 

who has made it a winning team. His training and leadership have had 

their result in two seasons. He pulled us out of the slough of despond of the 

1926 season, when we did not win a game, to the present season of six victories 

and only three defeats. 

All honor to players and coaches, athletic council and alumni, and the 

staunchly-supporting student body-all factors in a successful season, and 

let us give three long rays for our own"Poss" Miller. 

College Helps Needy Students 

For some years, Franklin and Marshall has sought to aid students who 

have bee~ unable to pay the full cost of their ed-qcation. It has not been possible 

to rely upon scholarships because the college has no specific endowment. 

for this purpose, so that the Board of Trustees adopted a plan by which the 

concession has been granted to a number of deserving students of the release 

of a proportion of their contingent fee. 

Two years ago a committee of the Board of Trustees was appointed on 

student aid consisting of Charles F. Miller, chairman, J. Wm. Bowman, Rev. 

Lee.M. Erdman, D.D., '04, Fred W. Biesecker, Esq., '08, and Judge 'Vm. H. 

Keller, '91, which committee approves applications for students aid on the 

basis of the establishment of financial need and the qualification of requisite 

scholarship. This committee grants aid according to the policy of the Board 

in the way of working positions, loans or concessions, not to exceed in any 

case the total amount of the contingent fee for the year. 

By action taken several years ago, sons of ministers and students for the 

ministry have received a concession of $100.00 on their contingent fee: assistants 

in the library, laboratories, and offices have also received allowances 

on their contingent fee. The number of such students receiving aid during 

the last college year was eighty-three, with an allowance of $15,950.00. Fees 

were paid by them in a total of $7,809. 

This year the number of students receiving concessions is one hundred 

and eighty, fifty-seven assisting in the library, laboratories and offices; eighty 

sons of ministers and students of the ministry, and forty-three other students 

receiving aid in the amount of an allowance of $29,985.00. Since there are 

no scholarship funds from which this allowance can be paid it must be deducted 

from the annual income of the college. This has been made possible 

only by a careful and economical administration of the college finances. 

The service thus far rendered to deserving students who could not otherwise 

secure an education is valuable and commendable. It could be increased 

if there were scholarship funds available for this purpose. 

The college holds a note of $2,500.00, payable after death, to be devoted 

to this cause, and at least one will has been drawn making provision for such 

scholarships. It is hoped that the existing need may result in gifts or bequests 

to establish a large fund, the interest of which may be devoted to this 

service each year.

this country when your fathers and mothers, 

()r your grand and great grand parents, went 

to school in the "little red schoolhouse" or

One of these days these books may fall into 

the hands of a vandal, and that will be the 

end of some valuable material. 

To prevent the destruction and loss of this 

source of information about Our early 

'schools, and in order to have additional 

sources for research in Education, a collection 

of old textboolis used in all kinds of

buy. Only the friends of the College, 

and their friends, can aid in supplying this 

need. 

When you 11ave finished reading this number 

of the ALUMNUS, please search through 

JOur book possessions, and inquire among 

your friends, for old texts that you want to 

present to the College for this collection. 

And when you have found these treasures, 

place a slip in each, telling wheTe, when and 

by whom each book was used. These facts 

will be placed on a bookplate which will be 

pasted in each book. 

Any old textbooks will be greatly appreciated.

28 THE FHANKLIN AND MAHSHALL ALUl\'[NUS [Nov. 

Alumnus Produces Play 

"Mountain Fury" on Broadway 

DAVID DAVIDSON, JR., '23 

David Davidson, Jr., honor graduate of 

1923, New York City, has written a play, 

"Mountain Fury" which was produced in 

Septcmber on Broadway by P. Dowd Acker· 

man, famous stage scenery painter. 

The play, fruition of eleven years of 

writing, is a folkl01'e tale of life in the 

Allegheny mountains based upon first hand 

obscrvation and study. In spite of its ex· 

cellence, it required months of effort and 

many interviews to have it produced. Miss 

Freda Fishbein who was agent for Elmer 

Rice and instrumental in se11ing this year's 

Pulitzer prize play, "Street Scene," was 

Mr. Davidson's representative in se11ing the 

play. Mr. Ackerman made his debut as a 

pl'oducer in this play anel' Barry ,Macollum, 

Dodson Mitche11 and Herbert Ashdon, J 1'., 

were in the cast. 

Bide Dudley of the New York Evening 

World made the fo11owing comment on the 

play. "The predominating virtue of the 

production of "Mountain Fury," which be· 

gan an engagement at the President Theatre 

(formel'1y the Totten) last night, is its act· 

ing; next comes its scenic effects and lastly 

the play. However, since the play supplies 

the foundation for the other two virtues, it 

can hardly be bad if they are good. And they 

are. Of its kind, it is one of the best 

dramas I have run across in many moons. 

Its kind is that of the Southern moun· 

tainous country with the hatred of clans. 

flaring up to interfere with the love of twOo 

young people reared on opposite sides of the 

community feud. The idea isn't new, nor 

are there any new twists in this play. But 

it has consistency and plausibility. If you 

like its type you wi11 be tremendously in· 

terested in "Mountian FUI'y." If you 

don't, you won't care for it. It is a com· 

plete, we11-oiled piece of theatricalism, but 

it is just what it is. 

David Davidson, Jr., the author, knows, 

his locale and his types. Being somewha t 

familiar with them myself, I can vouch for 

tlieir authenticity. Each character is admirably 

dl'3wn, both in its original conception 

and its portrayal. 

I am sure" Mountain Fury" would make· 

a great film, and just as certain that it wi1l 

become a popular stock bil!. How Broadway 

will accept it 1'emains to be seen. I 

have an idea there is a substantial audienc· 

for this play. It was received with genuine' 

interest.' , 

Unfortunately, the author sustained an attack 

of pleurisy dUl'ing the rehearsal of the 

play and was compeJ]ed to go to St. Joseph's 

Sanitorium, Ashe,-i1le, N. C., to recuperate. 

An interesting article in the Sunday Citize~ 

of Ashevi1le tells of the vicissitudes of the 

playwright in having his drama produced. 

M1'. Davidson was the valedict01'ian of his 

class and won the Wetzel medal for oratory 

in his Junior year. With his father, Dr. 

Davidson, he conducts the Blue Mountain 

Camps, every summer, near Stroudsburg, Pa.

1860, the son of a physician, the late 

Dr. Joseph Gibbons, of Bird-in 

Hand, Pa. Dr. Gibbons was a 

Quaker Abolitionist and assisted escaping 

slaves in the Underground 

Railway. The son, Daniel, entered 

college at thirteen and was a member 

of the Diagnothian Literary Society 

and of the Delta Tau Delta fraternity. 

After graduation, he apprenticed 

himself to learn the machinist 

trade with a Wilmington, Del., firm, 

although he never worked at the trade 

which he studied for five years. He 

studied law later at the University of 

Pensylvania, receiving the degree of 

LL.B. but did not practice. 

Then he went into newspaper work 

in Philadelphia and was the publisher 

of a Philadelphia paper for a time. 

Moving to Seattle, Wash., he was the 

associate editor of the Post-Intelligencer, 

afterwards with the Syracuse 

Post-Standard and Philadelphia 

Times, Ledger, Inqttirer, and Press. 

He was on the New York World and 

Commercial and afterwards associate 

editor of the B1'ooklyn and L. 1. Real 

Estate Review. In recent years, he 

has been in the employ of the Brooklyn 

Borough Real Estate department 

and had just been given a three 

months' vacation, on account of ill 

health. In connection with his writings, 

he was in the real estate business 

with an office at 373 Fulton Street, 

Brooklyn, N. Y. 

In 1928, Mr. Gibbons had a book 

published by the Macmillan Company, 

"God In Us," a presentation 

of the religious views of the Society 

of Friends. He was devoted to the 

political theory of free trade and was: 

engaged in writing a two volume 

work on this at the time of his death. 

For twenty-five years, he had been 

accumulating 30,000 newspaper and 

magazine clippings of more or less. 

permanent value which he had indexed 

under 1200 heads and sub-heads. 

and by his will gives to Franklin and 

Marshall. He was deeply interested 

in his Alma Mater, faithfully attending 

her commencements and also 

meetings of the New York Alumni 

Association. The latter group sent a 

floral tribute for his funeral which 

was held from the Old Meeting House 

of the Friends at Bird-in-Hand, Rev. 

Robert J. Pilgram, '98, Alumni Secretary, 

officiating. 

Mr. Gibbons had been a widower 

for many years and had no 

children. He was a brother of the 

late Marianna Gibbons Brubaker and 

a cousin of the late George H. Earle, 

Jr., Philadelphia financier, also a descendant 

of Thomas Earle, first presidential 

candidate of the old Liberty 

party in 1840, as recorded in the November, 

1928, Alumnus. He was a 

prolific writer and had an article in 

the "Contributors' Column" of the 

October Atlantic Monthly supplemental 

to the article on "King 

Street," by F. Lyman Windolph, '07, 

in a previous number. 

Mr. Gibbons was proud of the fact 

that he was a collateral descendant of 

Benjamin Franklin, the mother of 

Franklin, Abiah Folger being the 

great-great grandaunt of Gibbons. 

He was also descended from John 

Marshall. 

'78-George Calmes Pearson, son of 

George and Eleanor S. Pearson, was

1929] 


31 

2 months. He had been in failing 

health for a year, and suffered from a 

paralytic stroke less than a week before 

his death. 

Father and son were outstanding 

educators. The community in which 

they labored, has for at least two 

generations recognized them as real 

teachers, and many owe their college 

preparation, and educational training 

to them. 

George C. Pearson, with three 

others from this community matriculated 

at Franklin and Marshall 

College with the class of 1878. After 

graduation, he taught in the schools 

of the county, and about 1885 became 

the principal of the Hagerstown 

lligh School. From 1894 to 1900 

he served as superintendent of the 

schools of Washington County, Md. 

Later, he became identified with the 

Frick Manufacturing Company of 

Waynesboro, Pa. 

During the last score of years, he 

travelled extensively, making at least 

one trip abroad, and several trips to 

the West Indies, and throughout the 

United States. 

He was always fond of his books, 

while at home kept up his studies and 

occasionally tutored young men preparing 

for college or making up conditions. 

For a half century, he bore office in 

Christ Reformed Church, Cavetown, 

Md., and was frequently her representative 

to the church judiciaries. 

His deep interest in the educational 

and benevolent institutions was manifest 

in the contributions he made to 

them from time to time. All of an 

estate approximating $150,000, save 

$3,000, was bequeathed to church institutions. 

Mr. Pearson never married, and 

only distant relatives survive. 

His body was laid to rest in the 

cemetery for which he cared and 

~bored, near the church at Cavetown 

d., October 16, 1929.
