The four-day celebration opened Saturday evening with the traditional commencement concert presented by the Seniors of the College Conservatory of Music. The program included numbers by the seven members of the senior class and is the climax to the students' studies at the Conservatory. Baccalaureate Services for the June graduating class were held at 10 :45 a. m. on Sunday, May 29th, at Grace Church. Rev. Basil R. Truscott, pastor of the First Methodist Church of Lomas de Zamora, Argentina, gave the address, his subject being, "You, the World, and God." Dr. Truscott cautioned the students to invest their talents wisely and well. He advised them to protect the talent of personality with good reading, good associations and clean living, and warned that licentiousness, carelessness and neglect are three deadly enemies of character. The speaker is a Morningside graduate of the class of 1920, and has done post-graduate work at (Continued on page three) OBSERVATORY IS GIFT TO MORNINGSIDE COLLEGE A unique Father's Day gift soon will make Sioux City the home of an observatory housing the largest telescope in Iowa. The observatory will be erected on the campus of Morningside College under terms of a trust fund established by Dr. Arch F. O'Donoghue of Sioux City in honor of his father, Dr. James H. O'Donoghue of Storm Lake. A 12-inch reflecting telescope will be mounted in a revolving turret in the ultramodern observatory. Special photographic and darkroom equipment will be used to record pictorially the story of the stars. There are only two other telescopes of size in Iowa. The largest, which boasts an 11-inch lens, is in use at the University of Iowa, Iowa City, Iowa. The other, at Drake University in Des Moines, measures only 8¼ inches. Construction of the observatory will mark "an epoch of expansion in science for Morningside College," Dr. Myron E. Graber, head of the department of physics, declared. 'The observatory and telescope, with equipment now possessed by the college, will make it possible to offer courses in astronomy, comparable to any in the state. We have, at present, two 4-inch reflecting telescope sextants and other optical equipment. Dr. Earl A. Roadman said the observatory will stand as a "living memorial" to Dr. O'Donoghue's father. It is evidence, he continued, "of the expanding program which aid and bequests are providing" for the college. (Continued on page three) Entered as second class matter July 1, 1944, at the post office at Sioux City, Iowa, under the act of August 24, 1912 - Published monthly from September to June, inclusive, by Morningside College �Page 2 JUNE, 1949 ALUMNUS OF THE MONTH Dr. Clarence Tucker Craig, '15, of the Yale University Divinity School has been elected dean of Drew Theological Seminary at a meeting of the Drew University board of trustees in New York City. He will also serve as professor of New Testament, the same chair which he holds at Yale. The appointment is effective September 1. The deanship of the 82-year-old Methodist seminary has been open since last July when Dr. Fred G. Holloway moved from that post to the Drew presidency. In the chair of New Testament, Dr. Craig will succeed Dr. J. Newt on Davies who is retiring next month after 30 years on the faculty. Dr. Craig was appointed to the Yale position in 1946 after serving for 18 years as professor of New Testament language and literature at the Oberlin Graduate School of Theology in Oberlin, Ohio. He is a member of the American Standard Bible Translation Committee. In 1946 he was educational representative in introducing the New Standard Version. He served as chairman of the committee editing Gospel Parallels, a synopsis based on this version. In the field of New Testament studies he has written several books and numerous articles. In preparation for the first assembly of the World Council of Churches in Amsterdam last summer, he served as chairman of the American Advisory Commit tee and vice-chairman of the General Commission dealing with The Universal Church in God's Design. He contributed a ch apter on New Testament doctrine to this volume. He is chairman of the American Theological Committee of the Faith and Order Commission. A native of Benton Harbor, Mich., Clarence was awarded his A. B. degree at Morningside College in 1915, the S. T. B. and Ph. D. degrees by Boston University. He has served these Methodist pastorates: Walpole, Mass., 1918-19; Clifton, Cincinnati, Ohio, 1922-26; Simpson, Brooklyn, N. Y., 1926-28. OBYE TO WAYNE Sioux City friends of "Chuck" Obye, '46, former Central High and Morningside College athlete and later an assistant coach at Morningside, will be interested to know that he has signed as head basketball coach at Wayne State Teacher s' College. Obye quit his job at Morning side a year ago to enroll at Iowa University to work for his master's degree, which he will have earned by the end of the summer term. With his affiliation at Wayne, "Chuck" will be on the other side of the fence now when Wayne and Morningside renew their rivalry. The Wildcats and Maroons annually meet in a home-and-home basketball series. SUMMER SCHOOL ENROLLMENT The registrar's office reported that 474 students are now actively enrolled and attending classes for the first five weeks' term summer session. These 474 men and women include 239 veterans and 65 new students and transfers. JONES NOMINATED CONSUL GENERAL J. Wesley Jones, ex'28, has been nominated by President Truman as a consul general of the United States. At present he is counselor to the United States embassy at Nanking, China. Wesley was at the United States consulate building in Nanking when the communists made their early morning "raid" in December, 1948, detaining all members of the consulate. After the fall of Nanking, the state department sent a message to Mr. Jones' mother in Sioux City, stating that members of the Nanking embassy were uninjured and that no harm was expected. After receiving a bachelor of arts degree from George Washington University in 1930, Wesley entered the state department service in January, 1931, serving as vice-consul in Saltillo, Mexico, for a year, as vice-consul at Calcutta for three years and later became vice-consul in Rome, Italy. In Nanking he has been foreign service officer and secretary in the diplomatic service. Approval of his nomination as consul general is expected to be a formality on the senate floor. Mr. Jones' wife and three children now are in Rome with Mrs. Jones' parents. She is the former Katherine del Valle, daughter of Lt. Gen. del Valle, commanding officer of the First marine division in the Pacific during the war. The three children, Peter, 9; Valentine, 6; and Frances, 4, are attending school in Rome. MORNINGSIDE GRADS WIN HONORS Adding not only to personal accomplishment but to Morningside's laurels are the assistantships granted to three June graduates from Morningside this spring. Two of the Sioux Cityans who have been granted assistantships at Pennsylvania State College, State College, Penn., are Kenneth Aalseth and William Yockey. The third, Leonard Foster, has been granted an assistantship at the University of Nebraska, Lincoln, Nebr. Mr. Aalseth will do research work in the field of vitamins while Mr. Yockey, who will also work in the general field of biochemistry, will specialize in nutrition for fowls. Mr. Foster, the recipient of several graduation honors, will do graduate work in history. All three, receivers of Bachelor of Science degrees, have been chosen for the assistantships because of their outstanding work at Morningside. Donald Kelsey of Hornick and Allen Brown of Council Bluffs, June graduates, have been appointed resident fellows at Syracuse University, Syracuse, N. Y. Mr. Kelsey's graduate studies will be in history and Mr. Brown's in magazine journalism and advertising. Both will be advisers to freshman men at the university. Mr. Kelsey, a member of the Tau Delta social fraternity, has been particularly active in musical affairs at Morningside. He has been student business manager for the college choir and has conducted a talent show at a theater here and a radio program. Richard and Jimmy Pickering, 18 months and 2½ year old sons of Mr. and Mrs. James R. Pickering (Winnifred Osbey, ex'44), who live in Lima, Peru. ON THE CAMPUS Miss Lynn Holland, Sioux City freshman, was chosen Sioux Queen at Morningside this spring. She was crowned at the senior farewell dance and presented with the first copy of the Sioux, college annual, by edit or Ann Barrett. Vaughn Monroe, famous singer and orchestra leader, chose the queen from photographs of coeds submitted to him. Dean Thomas E. Tweito was one of the speakers at the annual convention of the Iowa district of the Evangelical Lutheran Church which was held at Forest City. His topic was The Witness of the Church in Family Life. Robert Eldredge, senior and member of Alpha Tau Delta Fraternity, was elected president of the Morningside College Student Council. The Council is the student governing body of the school and is responsible for many activities during the year. JUNE, 1949 �Page 3 OBSERVATORY (Continued from page one) The senior O'Donoghue, who is still a practicing physician, will observe his 82nd birthday on July 8. He served as professor of chemistry at Morningside from 1889 to 1893, when it was known as the University of the Northwest. For many years he was a member of the board of trustees. In 1942, he received the honorary degree of doctor of science from the college. Two years later, his sons, Dr. Arch O'Donoghue and Dr. Donald O'Donoghue of Oklahoma City, received similar honorary degrees from Dr. Roadman. Plans call for the observatory to be constructed of brick with a stone facing around the entrance above which will be the inscription: "Dr. James H. O'Donoghue Observatory." A classroom and a darkroom will be on the first floor. A circular staircase will lead to the observatory turret. Reflectors may be used to throw the image of the stars on a screen for study. The importance of such study was stressed by Dr. Arch O'Donoghue. "The recent development in nuclear physics makes astronomy even more important to the graduate and undergraduate in understanding the physical structure of the universe," he asserted. "It is a great privilege and pleasure to present this telescope and observatory to Morningside College," he continued, adding that his father, "still retains great interest in the college and in watching it grow to its present enviable state." COMMENCEMENT (Continued from page one) Drew Seminary at Madison, New Jersey, and at Yale Divinity School, New Haven, Connecticut. He has spent the greater part of the last 30 years as a missionary to Argentina and currently is on leave.

Snyder of Storm Lake, a clarinet solo by Robert Lowry, professor of music in the conservatory, and a scripture reading by Rev. Arthur Rasmussen of Quimby, Ia. After the address the class of 1949 was presented by Dean T. E. Tweito to Dr. Roadman, who conferred the degrees. Dr. Roadman also announced special prizes and honors won by the class and conferred the honorary degrees. ALUMNI HEAR CONGRESSMAN DOLLIVER "Seniors about to be graduated from Morningside College are better equipped to work out the answers to urgent present day problems than seniors of other days," Representative James I. Dolliver, '15, of Fort Dodge, Ia., said Monday evening, May 30th, at the Morningsider dinner to the 300 guests attending. Jim reminisced on campus days, touched on current politics and world problems and mixed serious subjects with. humorous ones, as only a Dolliver can do. The colorful initiation of the seniors into the Tribe of the Sioux was directed by members in costume led by Prof. Paul MacCollin. A. R. Toothaker was high priest; Ira J. Gwinn, chief of the Sioux; Prof. Russell Eidsmoe, senior adviser, chief of the records, and Neal Bridenbaugh, president of the graduating class, young brave. Edgar McCracken gave an Indian war dance, and the new members received their headbands, each with a maroon feather. G. Earl Barks, treasurer of Living Endowment, alumni project for providing support to their Alma Mater, gave the yearly report. Dr. Roadman introduced college trustees and their wives, faculty members and visitors who were to be given honorary degrees. William Danforth, president of the alumni association, presided.

Mossman of Dallas, Tex. No one of the four living members of the class of 1899 was able to return to the campus to celebrate the 50th anniversary of his graduation from Morningside. W. Bruce Empey of Junction City, Ore., who is now retired after nearly 48 years in the Methodist ministry, sent his regrets at being unable to return for such a delightful experience. However, he expressed the hope that he and Mrs. Empey (Hattie M. Bartlett), who will celebrate her fiftieth anniversary next June, may return at that time. CLASS REUNIONS Class of '19 Attending the 30th reunion of the class of 1919 were Mrs. C. Lee Barks (Leone Lange) of Orange City, Ia.; Mrs. R. W. Griffith (Ruth Reid) of Avon, S. D.; and Mrs. C. A.

Present with their wives were Henry Kitchen of Galva, Ia.; George Neir of Remsen, Ia.; Everett Dodge of Hartley, Ia. All are busy farmers. Philip Thorton, a merchant at Storm Lake, Ia. and his wife, Ruth Miller, '30; Margaret DeWitt Smith of Rapid City S. D., and her husband, Earl Smith, a student at Morningside College. Margaret is a secretary in the Pennington County Health Clinic at Rapid City, and Hazel Surber Croston of Sioux City and her husband, Louis H. Croston, '30. Several who could not be present wrote letters telling of themselves and their families. Hugh D. Halley who teaches in Weirton, W. Virginia high school sent regrets. His wife is Hylma Prine, ex'32. Velda Rowlands Nanninga, Bigelow, Minn., sent a fine letter. We are sorry to learn that she was stricken with an illness ten years ago which left her a bedfast invalid. Her husband is pastor of the Methodist Church there. Anne Aalfs Schaff of Elmira, N. Y., whose husband is pastor of the First Methodist Church, wrote an interesting account of herself and family. Lois Hickman Adams sent a friendly greeting from Madison, Wisc., where her husband is the Actuary for the National Guardian Life Ins. Co. It was an enjoyable get together and we hope that all of these and many more may be present at the next reunion. Hazel Surber Croston, chairman Class of '34 Class reunions have always intrigued me just about as much as a week-old bus transfer, but then I've never been to one. Until May 30- that is. What a delightful readjustment was mine to make! (That hissing noise you hear is Florence Kingsbury saying, "I told you so." She had to brow beat me into going.) And what fun! We met in the barn and the class of '34 appropriated the soft chairs at the south end. (Since we graduated in the depression we seem to crave good upholstery). Myrtle Peterson, one of the new teachers at Riverview School in Sioux City; Adeline Hall Anderl, charming wife and mother of three little boys, and also chairman of our reunion; Fern Beck Kolling, mother of several little blondes, and I were the reception committee (the first ones there.) We received with open arms our Miss Morningside, Gleva Binger Hansen and her husband, Grant. Grant is librarian at Gustavus Adolphus College and seemed to know everyone. He's tall and blond - they're a striking couple. Peg and Harold Decker strode in looking no older than in 1934. Harold is director of choral music at Wichita University. They had news of lots of people we had not heard from so we were very busy during lunch. Peg was lovely in a little green bonnet, and at our fifteenth class reunion discourses proudly of a fourteen year old son! JUNE, 1949 �Page 5 Next time I hope some bachelors come! Verl Crow, chairman Class of '39 The class of '39 was well represented at our ten year reunion luncheon with nineteen members, four by marriage, and it was an additional pleasure to have genial "Senator" Elwood Olsen, '38, Morningside's Business Manager, at our table. The group included Clifford and Clara Louise (McBurney) Swanson; Marjorie Pritchard Houghton; Birdie Slothower; Henry Schunck; Agnes Carlin; Leonard and Dorothy (Nelson) Skalisky; Miriam (Hawthorn) Baker; Mary Stankiewicz; Al and Marian Buckingham; H. G. and Kitty Morrison; Helen (Pearson) McCracken; George and Marjorie (Primmer) Iseminger; Dave Brinkman; and Virginia Thomas. Agnes Carlin, with the Red Cross in disaster duty in Northwest Iowa, assisted in blizzard relief work in Nebraska last winter, and is now stationed in the Red Oak area, including Essex, Ia., where a tornado damaged farm places the day following the luncheon. We hope the Swansons suffered no damage to their home or property. Marjorie Houghton has been a music instructor in the high school and colleges at Sioux Falls, S. D. for the past five years. Helen McCracken and George Iseminger are contributing greatly to Sioux City's musical life; Helen is director of the Mothersingers, P. T. A. choral group which received "rave" notices on its final concert for the year; George is an instructor in music at East High School and directs the school's choir and that of Trinity Lutheran Church. Mary has been teaching in the high school at Orange City, Ia., and Birdie at Rapid City, S. D. One of Birdie's students this year was awarded an honorable mention for a book review by Scholastic Magazine and was one of the top 17 in the Atlantic Monthly high school short story contest. Birdie will combine academic work and vacation at Boulder, Colo., this summer. Recently transferred back to Sioux City from Omaha, Henry Schunck is with the Cudahy Packing Co. Dorothy Skalisky teaches at Washington school near her home here. We wish all foster children could live in as fine a home as Miram and Carl Baker at Moville are providing for their small son. Dave Brinkman visits Sioux City frequently. He is feeding cattle at Rolfe, Ia., and working with his father and a brother. Were very pleasantly surprised to have H. G. and Kitty drop in from Peterson, Ia., where they have been with the Morrison family and bring us news of Keene Roadman, Dale Rogers, and "Fritz" Hoffman. Another of the '39 athletes, "Buck", now director of athletics at Morningside, spoke briefly to the general luncheon group regarding the current campaign for funds for the new field house, the site of which we '39 women remember as the scene of our hockey and soccer sessions. Virginia Thomas is secretary to the general manager of Hart-Bartlett-Sturtevert Grain Co. in Sioux City, and is looking forward to a good summer for gladiolus and baseball. Greetings were sent to the reunion by Bill and Ruth (Thatcher) Clemens from Denver, Dorothy (Behrens) Brooks from Portland, Ore.; Kellogg Wells from Okinawa; and Ellabel Johnson, ex'39, from Spirit Lake, Ia. On the following day notes were received also from Miriam (Corkhill) Miller from Detroit and James Y. Vandersall from Pontiac, Mich., where he has been an Instrumental Supervisor and Instructor in the public schools for the past six years. We hope that before the next official reunion we can get together informally, perhaps at a picnic. Dorothy Skalisky has offered us her hospitality for such a gathering and we will depend on members of the class to set a date. Virginia Thomas, chairman Class of '44 Last but not least is the class of '44 who held their first five year reunion. "Hap" Hansen Springer of Battle Creek, Ia., still as peppy and vivacious as ever, rounded up several of her classmates for the luncheon, including Jane Garretson Tweden, housewife and mother, of Sioux Falls, S. D.; Gertrude L. Curtis, teaching in Sioux City; Mrs. Gene Scott (Joyce Roadman), mother of three adorable curly-headed boys who lives at the Sioux City Airbase, and Evelyn Madsen, Dr. Roadman's charming and efficient secretary. Hap's husband, Walter, who was a student at Morningside College in the days of the Army Air Corp's visitation, took time off from his clothing and cleaning business in Battle Creek to attend the reunion and renew acquaintances. SIOUX CITY COEDS ENJOY LIFE AT DORM Like thousands of other young women the four coeds pictured above are going away to college-but these clever girls manage to stay "home" at the same time. All residents of Sioux City, they are attending Morningside College and living at Lillian E. Dimmitt dormitory for women. Thus they enjoy the pleasures of dormitory life and still remain within a few miles of their parental homes, which they visit frequently. The students are, left to right, Miss Mae Kiessig, daughter of Mr. and and Mrs. Bert J. Kiessig, 3930 Monroe Street; Miss Virginia Harper, daughter of Mr. ('11) and Mrs. H. Clifford Harper, (Helen McDonald, '12), 1901 George Street; Miss Gayle Jean Hofstad, (Sioux City Sue), daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Meyer S. Hofs tad, 1316 Sixth Street; and Miss Jane Spielman, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. G. H. Spielman, 2711 Jones Street. �Page 6 JUNE, 1949 Mrs. Earl Spencer (Margaret Rorapaugh, ex'48) received a Bachelor of Education degree at State College, Pennsylvania on June 6th.

THE MORNINGSIDER JUNE, 1949 Vol. 7 No. 10 Morningside Graduates Largest Class In History Four Days of Commencement Activities Includes Speeches, Dinners, Recitals Commencement Week End, the traditional time for the return of alumni to the campus, opened Saturday, May 28th, and extended until Tuesday, May 31st. The four-day celebration opened Saturday evening with the traditional commencement concert presented by the Seniors of the College Conservatory of Music. The program included numbers by the seven members of the senior class and is the climax to the students' studies at the Conservatory. Baccalaureate Services for the June graduating class were held at 10 :45 a. m. on Sunday, May 29th, at Grace Church. Rev. Basil R. Truscott, pastor of the First Methodist Church of Lomas de Zamora, Argentina, gave the address, his subject being, "You, the World, and God." Dr. Truscott cautioned the students to invest their talents wisely and well. He advised them to protect the talent of personality with good reading, good associations and clean living, and warned that licentiousness, carelessness and neglect are three deadly enemies of character. The speaker is a Morningside graduate of the class of 1920, and has done post-graduate work at (Continued on page three) OBSERVATORY IS GIFT TO MORNINGSIDE COLLEGE A unique Father's Day gift soon will make Sioux City the home of an observatory housing the largest telescope in Iowa. The observatory will be erected on the campus of Morningside College under terms of a trust fund established by Dr. Arch F. O'Donoghue of Sioux City in honor of his father, Dr. James H. O'Donoghue of Storm Lake. A 12-inch reflecting telescope will be mounted in a revolving turret in the ultramodern observatory. Special photographic and darkroom equipment will be used to record pictorially the story of the stars. There are only two other telescopes of size in Iowa. The largest, which boasts an 11-inch lens, is in use at the University of Iowa, Iowa City, Iowa. The other, at Drake University in Des Moines, measures only 8¼ inches. Construction of the observatory will mark "an epoch of expansion in science for Morningside College," Dr. Myron E. Graber, head of the department of physics, declared. 'The observatory and telescope, with equipment now possessed by the college, will make it possible to offer courses in astronomy, comparable to any in the state. We have, at present, two 4-inch reflecting telescope sextants and other optical equipment. Dr. Earl A. Roadman said the observatory will stand as a "living memorial" to Dr. O'Donoghue's father. It is evidence, he continued, "of the expanding program which aid and bequests are providing" for the college.

He will also serve as professor of New Testament, the same chair which he holds at Yale. The appointment is effective September 1. The deanship of the 82-year-old Methodist seminary has been open since last July when Dr. Fred G. Holloway moved from that post to the Drew presidency. In the chair of New Testament, Dr. Craig will succeed Dr. J. Newt on Davies who is retiring next month after 30 years on the faculty. Dr. Craig was appointed to the Yale position in 1946 after serving for 18 years as professor of New Testament language and literature at the Oberlin Graduate School of Theology in Oberlin, Ohio. He is a member of the American Standard Bible Translation Committee. In 1946 he was educational representative in introducing the New Standard Version. He served as chairman of the committee editing Gospel Parallels, a synopsis based on this version. In the field of New Testament studies he has written several books and numerous articles. In preparation for the first assembly of the World Council of Churches in Amsterdam last summer, he served as chairman of the American Advisory Commit tee and vice-chairman of the General Commission dealing with The Universal Church in God's Design. He contributed a ch apter on New Testament doctrine to this volume. He is chairman of the American Theological Committee of the Faith and Order Commission. A native of Benton Harbor, Mich., Clarence was awarded his A. B. degree at Morningside College in 1915, the S. T. B. and Ph. D. degrees by Boston University. He has served these Methodist pastorates: Walpole, Mass., 1918-19; Clifton, Cincinnati, Ohio, 1922-26; Simpson, Brooklyn, N. Y., 1926-28. OBYE TO WAYNE Sioux City friends of "Chuck" Obye, '46, former Central High and Morningside College athlete and later an assistant coach at Morningside, will be interested to know that he has signed as head basketball coach at Wayne State Teacher s' College. Obye quit his job at Morning side a year ago to enroll at Iowa University to work for his master's degree, which he will have earned by the end of the summer term. With his affiliation at Wayne, "Chuck" will be on the other side of the fence now when Wayne and Morningside renew their rivalry. The Wildcats and Maroons annually meet in a home-and-home basketball series. SUMMER SCHOOL ENROLLMENT The registrar's office reported that 474 students are now actively enrolled and attending classes for the first five weeks' term summer session. These 474 men and women include 239 veterans and 65 new students and transfers. JONES NOMINATED CONSUL GENERAL J. Wesley Jones, ex'28, has been nominated by President Truman as a consul general of the United States. At present he is counselor to the United States embassy at Nanking, China. Wesley was at the United States consulate building in Nanking when the communists made their early morning "raid" in December, 1948, detaining all members of the consulate. After the fall of Nanking, the state department sent a message to Mr. Jones' mother in Sioux City, stating that members of the Nanking embassy were uninjured and that no harm was expected. After receiving a bachelor of arts degree from George Washington University in 1930, Wesley entered the state department service in January, 1931, serving as vice-consul in Saltillo, Mexico, for a year, as vice-consul at Calcutta for three years and later became vice-consul in Rome, Italy. In Nanking he has been foreign service officer and secretary in the diplomatic service. Approval of his nomination as consul general is expected to be a formality on the senate floor. Mr. Jones' wife and three children now are in Rome with Mrs. Jones' parents. She is the former Katherine del Valle, daughter of Lt. Gen. del Valle, commanding officer of the First marine division in the Pacific during the war. The three children, Peter, 9; Valentine, 6; and Frances, 4, are attending school in Rome. MORNINGSIDE GRADS WIN HONORS Adding not only to personal accomplishment but to Morningside's laurels are the assistantships granted to three June graduates from Morningside this spring. Two of the Sioux Cityans who have been granted assistantships at Pennsylvania State College, State College, Penn., are Kenneth Aalseth and William Yockey. The third, Leonard Foster, has been granted an assistantship at the University of Nebraska, Lincoln, Nebr. Mr. Aalseth will do research work in the field of vitamins while Mr. Yockey, who will also work in the general field of biochemistry, will specialize in nutrition for fowls. Mr. Foster, the recipient of several graduation honors, will do graduate work in history. All three, receivers of Bachelor of Science degrees, have been chosen for the assistantships because of their outstanding work at Morningside. Donald Kelsey of Hornick and Allen Brown of Council Bluffs, June graduates, have been appointed resident fellows at Syracuse University, Syracuse, N. Y. Mr. Kelsey's graduate studies will be in history and Mr. Brown's in magazine journalism and advertising. Both will be advisers to freshman men at the university.

He has been student business manager for the college choir and has conducted a talent show at a theater here and a radio program. Richard and Jimmy Pickering, 18 months and 2½ year old sons of Mr. and Mrs. James R. Pickering (Winnifred Osbey, ex'44), who live in Lima, Peru. ON THE CAMPUS Miss Lynn Holland, Sioux City freshman, was chosen Sioux Queen at Morningside this spring. She was crowned at the senior farewell dance and presented with the first copy of the Sioux, college annual, by edit or Ann Barrett. Vaughn Monroe, famous singer and orchestra leader, chose the queen from photographs of coeds submitted to him. Dean Thomas E. Tweito was one of the speakers at the annual convention of the Iowa district of the Evangelical Lutheran Church which was held at Forest City. His topic was The Witness of the Church in Family Life.

The Council is the student governing body of the school and is responsible for many activities during the year. JUNE, 1949 Page 3 OBSERVATORY (Continued from page one) The senior O'Donoghue, who is still a practicing physician, will observe his 82nd birthday on July 8. He served as professor of chemistry at Morningside from 1889 to 1893, when it was known as the University of the Northwest. For many years he was a member of the board of trustees. In 1942, he received the honorary degree of doctor of science from the college. Two years later, his sons, Dr. Arch O'Donoghue and Dr. Donald O'Donoghue of Oklahoma City, received similar honorary degrees from Dr. Roadman. Plans call for the observatory to be constructed of brick with a stone facing around the entrance above which will be the inscription: "Dr. James H. O'Donoghue Observatory." A classroom and a darkroom will be on the first floor. A circular staircase will lead to the observatory turret. Reflectors may be used to throw the image of the stars on a screen for study. The importance of such study was stressed by Dr. Arch O'Donoghue. "The recent development in nuclear physics makes astronomy even more important to the graduate and undergraduate in understanding the physical structure of the universe," he asserted. "It is a great privilege and pleasure to present this telescope and observatory to Morningside College," he continued, adding that his father, "still retains great interest in the college and in watching it grow to its present enviable state." COMMENCEMENT (Continued from page one) Drew Seminary at Madison, New Jersey, and at Yale Divinity School, New Haven, Connecticut. He has spent the greater part of the last 30 years as a missionary to Argentina and currently is on leave. Other activities Sunday were an afternoon musicale, presented by faculty members of the Morningside Conservatory of Music in Grace Church auditorium, and a lawn reception at the home of President and Mrs. Earl A. Roadman. Soloists for the musical program were Faith Foster Woodford, organist; Elizabeth MacCollin, soprano; Marian Van Der Maten, violinist, and Emery Stewart, baritone. Students, faculty, alumni and friends of Morningside College gathered at Grace Church at 10 :30 a. m. on Tuesday, May 31st, for the 55th Commencement exercises when 94 seniors, the largest graduating class in the history of the college received diplomas, bringing to 146 the total number of graduates in 1949. Preceding the service, members of the graduating class and faculty assembled at Main Hall and marched in academic robes across the campus to the church. Dr. Daniel Starch of New York City delivered the address, which is printed in this issue of the Morningsider. The services included a prayer by Rev. James T. Snyder of Storm Lake, a clarinet solo by Robert Lowry, professor of music in the conservatory, and a scripture reading by Rev. Arthur Rasmussen of Quimby, Ia. After the address the class of 1949 was presented by Dean T. E. Tweito to Dr. Roadman, who conferred the degrees. Dr. Roadman also announced special prizes and honors won by the class and conferred the honorary degrees. ALUMNI HEAR CONGRESSMAN DOLLIVER "Seniors about to be graduated from Morningside College are better equipped to work out the answers to urgent present day problems than seniors of other days," Representative James I. Dolliver, '15, of Fort Dodge, Ia., said Monday evening, May 30th, at the Morningsider dinner to the 300 guests attending. Jim reminisced on campus days, touched on current politics and world problems and mixed serious subjects with. humorous ones, as only a Dolliver can do. The colorful initiation of the seniors into the Tribe of the Sioux was directed by members in costume led by Prof. Paul MacCollin. A. R. Toothaker was high priest; Ira J. Gwinn, chief of the Sioux; Prof. Russell Eidsmoe, senior adviser, chief of the records, and Neal Bridenbaugh, president of the graduating class, young brave. Edgar McCracken gave an Indian war dance, and the new members received their headbands, each with a maroon feather. G. Earl Barks, treasurer of Living Endowment, alumni project for providing support to their Alma Mater, gave the yearly report. Dr. Roadman introduced college trustees and their wives, faculty members and visitors who were to be given honorary degrees. William Danforth, president of the alumni association, presided. Vera Hays Campbell, '38, was chairman of the dinner, assisted by Mildred Wikert Wallman, Genevieve Whittington Sloan, Mariellen Rifenbark Johnson, and Clara Bergmann Nelson. HONORARY DEGREES TO FOUR MORNINGSIDE ALUMNI Four Morningside Alumni were awarded honorary degrees during Morning.sides' 55th Commencement exercises. Dr. Daniel Starch, a graduate of Charles City College in 1903 and therefore of Morningside, who delivered the Commencement address, received a doctor of science degree, presented by J. F. Zimmerman, '11, of Charles City. Dr. Starch is known internationally as a psychologist and has been rated among the 100 starred scientists in American Men of Science. He has been recognized as one of the first to apply scientific methods to business problems. A noted author, Dr. Starch has written 12 books. Since 1927 he has been a regular contributor to the Encyclopedia Brittanica. The Reverend Basil R. Truscott, '20, who gave the Baccalaureate address, was presented to Dr. Roadman for a doctor of divinity degree by Dr. Nelson A. Price, vice president of Morningside College. Rev.

C. Lee Barks of Orange City, class of 1914, presided. Retired faculty members and alumni who were to receive honorary degrees were special guests. Those attending were members of the classes of 1909, 1914, 1919, 1924, 1929, 1934, 1939 and 1944. Special meetings were those of the class of 1909, celebrating their 40th anniversary, and the class of 1924, celebrating their 25th anniversary. Chairmen for the various class reunions were Miss Ethel Murray, 1909; Helen Giehm Barrett, 1914; Helen Meeks Hindman, 1919; Mr. and Mrs. Les Davis, 1924; Hazel Surber Crost on, 1929; Adeline Hall Anderl, 1934; Miss Virginia Thomas and Dorothy Nelson Skalisk y, 1939 and Lyla Hansen Springer, 1944. Zeta Sigma, Morningside's honorary scholastic fraternity, held formal initiation ceremonies at 4 p. m. Monday for graduating seniors eligible for the honor. The program was under the direction of Rev. Victor Schuldt of Sioux City, who is acting president of the group. Following the initiation the group heard an address by Hobart F. Mossman of Dallas, Tex. No one of the four living members of the class of 1899 was able to return to the campus to celebrate the 50th anniversary of his graduation from Morningside. W. Bruce Empey of Junction City, Ore., who is now retired after nearly 48 years in the Methodist ministry, sent his regrets at being unable to return for such a delightful experience. However, he expressed the hope that he and Mrs. Empey (Hattie M. Bartlett), who will celebrate her fiftieth anniversary next June, may return at that time. CLASS REUNIONS Class of '19 Attending the 30th reunion of the class of 1919 were Mrs. C. Lee Barks (Leone Lange) of Orange City, Ia.; Mrs. R. W. Griffith (Ruth Reid) of Avon, S. D.; and Mrs. C. A. Hindman (Helen Meeks) of Sioux City, who served as chairman. Elsie Savonell Forbes (Mrs. C. E.) wrote from Rockford, Ill., that she had been ill since Easter and still was unable to do housework. She lives on a small farm, has five children (a son, Bill, who graduated from high school in June) and four grandchildren. Helen Meeks Hindman, chairman Class of '24-'25 Reunion Although only a small number of the class of '24 were able to attend, a very enjoyable reunion was held on Alumni Day, May 30. There were sixteen present. Several interesting letters from members of the class were read. Those who sent greetings were: Paul Moody, now Professor of Zoology at the University of Vermont. Clark Scott, Ass't. Treas. and Secretary of Manning, Maxwell and Moore, Inc. in New York. Bob Dolliver, Pastor Bushwick Avenue Methodist Church in Brooklyn, New York. Dr. Paul McMaster, Orthopedic Surgeon in Los Angeles, Calif. Miss Ruth Miller, Librarian in St. Louis, Missouri. Mrs. Hillis Lory (Sarah Drury), Fairfax Station, Virginia.

Y.; Mrs. Leroy H. Rowse (Muriel DeWitt), Sioux City; Mrs. Gilbert Turkelson (Neva Coates), Sioux City; and Mr . and Mrs. Les Davis (Leota Bergeson), Sioux City. Les and Leota Bergeson Davis, chairmen Class '29 Eleven were present at the 1929 reunion luncheon table, six of them members of the 1929 class. Present with their wives were Henry Kitchen of Galva, Ia.; George Neir of Remsen, Ia.; Everett Dodge of Hartley, Ia. All are busy farmers. Philip Thorton, a merchant at Storm Lake, Ia. and his wife, Ruth Miller, '30; Margaret DeWitt Smith of Rapid City S. D., and her husband, Earl Smith, a student at Morningside College. Margaret is a secretary in the Pennington County Health Clinic at Rapid City, and Hazel Surber Croston of Sioux City and her husband, Louis H. Croston, '30. Several who could not be present wrote letters telling of themselves and their families. Hugh D. Halley who teaches in Weirton, W. Virginia high school sent regrets. His wife is Hylma Prine, ex'32. Velda Rowlands Nanninga, Bigelow, Minn., sent a fine letter. We are sorry to learn that she was stricken with an illness ten years ago which left her a bedfast invalid. Her husband is pastor of the Methodist Church there. Anne Aalfs Schaff of Elmira, N. Y., whose husband is pastor of the First Methodist Church, wrote an interesting account of herself and family. Lois Hickman Adams sent a friendly greeting from Madison, Wisc., where her husband is the Actuary for the National Guardian Life Ins. Co. It was an enjoyable get together and we hope that all of these and many more may be present at the next reunion. Hazel Surber Croston, chairman Class of '34 Class reunions have always intrigued me just about as much as a week-old bus transfer, but then I've never been to one. Until May 30- that is. What a delightful readjustment was mine to make! (That hissing noise you hear is Florence Kingsbury saying, "I told you so." She had to brow beat me into going.) And what fun! We met in the barn and the class of '34 appropriated the soft chairs at the south end. (Since we graduated in the depression we seem to crave good upholstery). Myrtle Peterson, one of the new teachers at Riverview School in Sioux City; Adeline Hall Anderl, charming wife and mother of three little boys, and also chairman of our reunion; Fern Beck Kolling, mother of several little blondes, and I were the reception committee (the first ones there.) We received with open arms our Miss Morningside, Gleva Binger Hansen and her husband, Grant. Grant is librarian at Gustavus Adolphus College and seemed to know everyone. He's tall and blond - they're a striking couple. Peg and Harold Decker strode in looking no older than in 1934. Harold is director of choral music at Wichita University. They had news of lots of people we had not heard from so we were very busy during lunch. Peg was lovely in a little green bonnet, and at our fifteenth class reunion discourses proudly of a fourteen year old son! JUNE, 1949 Page 5 Next time I hope some bachelors come! Verl Crow, chairman Class of '39 The class of '39 was well represented at our ten year reunion luncheon with nineteen members, four by marriage, and it was an additional pleasure to have genial "Senator" Elwood Olsen, '38, Morningside's Business Manager, at our table. The group included Clifford and Clara Louise (McBurney) Swanson; Marjorie Pritchard Houghton; Birdie Slothower; Henry Schunck; Agnes Carlin; Leonard and Dorothy (Nelson) Skalisky; Miriam (Hawthorn) Baker; Mary Stankiewicz; Al and Marian Buckingham; H. G. and Kitty Morrison; Helen (Pearson) McCracken; George and Marjorie (Primmer) Iseminger; Dave Brinkman; and Virginia Thomas. Agnes Carlin, with the Red Cross in disaster duty in Northwest Iowa, assisted in blizzard relief work in Nebraska last winter, and is now stationed in the Red Oak area, including Essex, Ia., where a tornado damaged farm places the day following the luncheon. We hope the Swansons suffered no damage to their home or property. Marjorie Houghton has been a music instructor in the high school and colleges at Sioux Falls, S. D. for the past five years. Helen McCracken and George Iseminger are contributing greatly to Sioux City's musical life; Helen is director of the Mothersingers, P. T. A. choral group which received "rave" notices on its final concert for the year; George is an instructor in music at East High School and directs the school's choir and that of Trinity Lutheran Church. Mary has been teaching in the high school at Orange City, Ia., and Birdie at Rapid City, S. D. One of Birdie's students this year was awarded an honorable mention for a book review by Scholastic Magazine and was one of the top 17 in the Atlantic Monthly high school short story contest. Birdie will combine academic work and vacation at Boulder, Colo., this summer. Recently transferred back to Sioux City from Omaha, Henry Schunck is with the Cudahy Packing Co. Dorothy Skalisky teaches at Washington school near her home here. We wish all foster children could live in as fine a home as Miram and Carl Baker at Moville are providing for their small son. Dave Brinkman visits Sioux City frequently. He is feeding cattle at Rolfe, Ia., and working with his father and a brother. Were very pleasantly surprised to have H. G. and Kitty drop in from Peterson, Ia., where they have been with the Morrison family and bring us news of Keene Roadman, Dale Rogers, and "Fritz" Hoffman. Another of the '39 athletes, "Buck", now director of athletics at Morningside, spoke briefly to the general luncheon group regarding the current campaign for funds for the new field house, the site of which we '39 women remember as the scene of our hockey and soccer sessions. Virginia Thomas is secretary to the general manager of Hart-Bartlett-Sturtevert Grain Co. in Sioux City, and is looking forward to a good summer for gladiolus and baseball. Greetings were sent to the reunion by Bill and Ruth (Thatcher) Clemens from Denver, Dorothy (Behrens) Brooks from Portland, Ore.; Kellogg Wells from Okinawa; and Ellabel Johnson, ex'39, from Spirit Lake, Ia. On the following day notes were received also from Miriam (Corkhill) Miller from Detroit and James Y. Vandersall from Pontiac, Mich., where he has been an Instrumental Supervisor and Instructor in the public schools for the past six years. We hope that before the next official reunion we can get together informally, perhaps at a picnic. Dorothy Skalisky has offered us her hospitality for such a gathering and we will depend on members of the class to set a date. Virginia Thomas, chairman Class of '44 Last but not least is the class of '44 who held their first five year reunion. "Hap" Hansen Springer of Battle Creek, Ia., still as peppy and vivacious as ever, rounded up several of her classmates for the luncheon, including Jane Garretson Tweden, housewife and mother, of Sioux Falls, S. D.; Gertrude L. Curtis, teaching in Sioux City; Mrs. Gene Scott (Joyce Roadman), mother of three adorable curly-headed boys who lives at the Sioux City Airbase, and Evelyn Madsen, Dr. Roadman's charming and efficient secretary. Hap's husband, Walter, who was a student at Morningside College in the days of the Army Air Corp's visitation, took time off from his clothing and cleaning business in Battle Creek to attend the reunion and renew acquaintances. SIOUX CITY COEDS ENJOY LIFE AT DORM Like thousands of other young women the four coeds pictured above are going away to college-but these clever girls manage to stay "home" at the same time. All residents of Sioux City, they are attending Morningside College and living at Lillian E. Dimmitt dormitory for women. Thus they enjoy the pleasures of dormitory life and still remain within a few miles of their parental homes, which they visit frequently. The students are, left to right, Miss Mae Kiessig, daughter of Mr. and and Mrs. Bert J. Kiessig, 3930 Monroe Street; Miss Virginia Harper, daughter of Mr. ('11) and Mrs. H. Clifford Harper, (Helen McDonald, '12), 1901 George Street; Miss Gayle Jean Hofstad, (Sioux City Sue), daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Meyer S.

The Sonata in B Flat Major which Mozart wrote for one of his many appearances with his sister was the opening selection. Also programmed were two Schubert compositions, contemporary works by Hindemith and Poulenc, and the Mother Goose Suite by Ravel, which has been popularized by orchestral transcription. JUNE, 1949 Page 7 IN MEMORIAM George W.

The periodical was published monthly from September to June. This edition was published in June of 1949. This edition includes a supplement containing the commencement address for that May's graduates by Dr. Daniel Starch. The supplement also includes a very short article about James Reistrup's recognition by Phi Mu Alpha Sinfonia in the Spring 1949 issue of their main publication, The Sinfonian, for his piano compositions. This appears to have been included in the supplement for spacing reasons. This supplement is item #369 in this database.

Combining the three classes of January, June and August, a total of 224 diplomas were awarded during 1949 by the college. Forty-five bachelor of science degrees, 25 bachelor of art degrees, seven bachelor's degree in music education and one bachelorate of music were awarded by Dr. Roadman during the August ceremonies at Grace Methodist church on the campus. Dr. Garfield D. Merner, distinguished San Francisco executive and educator, spoke on "The Intangibles." He told the graduating class that: "Intelligent service to his fellowman and his count ry should be the goal of every college graduate. The way to achieve this goal is to accentuate the intangibles-the cultural side of life from which a person may draw refreshment and stimulating enjoyment. Such things as good reading, travel, the joy of doing things for others, goodwill and the study of nature, music and art would enable a person to serve his fellowman and his country much more intelligently and would make this country greater than it already is." Dr. Merner is cofounder and vice president of five colleges and universities and on the board of three other colleges. After Dr. Merner's address the class was presented to Dr. Roadman by Dean Thomas E. Tweito. Summa cum laude honors went to William Down Wolle, magna cum laude honors to Miss Gladys Gary Logan of Sioux City, and Miss Edith Mae Fiderlick of Callender, Ia., received cum laude honors. A feature of the program was the presentation of the honorary degree of doctor of humane letters to Mrs. Louise Freese, staff writer for the Journal-Tribune publications, in recognition of her "achievements in both the fields of journalism and of community leadership." Those who received degree are: Bachelor of Arts: Dale Baker, Shirley Booz, Mary Lou Brand, James Brodie, Lyle Couture, George DeVries, Jr., Willis Dewey, William Dubes, Donald Fischer, Rich- 87 Coach George Allen scutinizes his 1949 football squad and hopes for a good season ahead. ard G.

Start right now to make plans to come back for Homecoming. It's going to be a big weekend at Morningside. There will be surprises and fun for every returning Morningsider.

To head its new Livestock Ma rketing Department, Morningside College has secured Professor R. C. Ashby who is recognized as one of the foremost authorities on Livestock Marketing in the United States. Dr. Ashby has served as a member of the Animal Husbandry Staff at Washington State and the Universities of Nebraska and Minnesota. In addition to his experience in teaching livestock marketing, Dr. Ashby has had much practical experience; he has served as a consultant for the Packers and Livestock Administration, U. S. Department of Agriculture and the Livestock Exchanges in Sioux City, St. Louis, and Chicago. He is a member of the Board of Directors of the St. Louis Stock Yards Company. Before coming to Morningside, Dr. Ashby was a professor of Livestock Marketing at the University of Illinois. Dr. E . Theodore Bauer, a professor in the sociology department at Iowa Wesleyan college, Mount Pleasant, since 1947, has accepted the position of depa rtment head and associate professor of the sociology department. He replaces Prof. H . B. Hawthorn, who was forced to resign because of poor health, but who will continue to teach the sociology course in the evening division. Dr. Bauer received the degree of bachelor of arts at Iowa Wesleyan in 1928 and a bachelor of divinity degree from Northwestern university in 1930. In 1935 he received a master of arts degree from Drake university and was awarded the degree of doctor of philosophy at the University of Iowa in June. Professor F . M. Semans, who has been serving as consultant biologist with the United States department of agriculture in Colima, Mexico, is the new head of the biology department. Prof. Semans will r eplace Dr. Roy M. Chatters, who has accepted a position in the biology department at Oklahoma A. and M. college, Stillwater, Okla. Prof. Chatters has been at Morning- side the last three years. A graduate of Ohio State university, Prof. Semans also attended Harvard university and Stone biological laboratory. He received his master's and doctor's degr ees from Ohio Stat e university. Before his services with t he department of agriculture, Prof. Semans taught biology and allied subjects in various colleges and universities. He has published several pamphlets on biological subjects. A graduate of Mankato State Teachers college and the University of Minnesota, Ayers McGrew has been employed as speech and debate instructor. Professor McGrew also has done graduate work in speech at Northwestern University, Evanston, Ill., and some graduate work for his master of arts and doctorate degrees at the Universit y of Minnesota. He has had experience in intercollegiate debate and for several years was the debate coach of Worthington, Minnesota high school which is known throughout the middle west for its excellent debate teams. McGrew is not only a speech man, however. While in college he minored in the political and social sciences and was active in college athletics. Miss Mary Elizabeth Bowne, instructor in physical education at Bradley university, Peoria, Ill., has accepted the position of director of physical education for women at Morningside. Miss Bowne is a graduate of Coe College, Cedar Rapids, Ia. receiving a bachelor of arts degree. She received a master of science degree from the University of Wisconsin at Madison, and now is preparing for the doctor's degree with a major in education and physical education.

Miss Shirley Booz, also a 1949 graduate, will assist Miss Bowne in the Women's Physical Education department. She will t each classes in modern dance, folk dancing and badminton. �SEP :TEMBER, REUNIONS CONTINUED FROM JUNE Charles City Reunion Miss Laura Fischer, beloved instructor of German at Morningside, who retired in June after fifty years of teaching, sponsored a reunion of former Charles City grads and students, honoring Dr. Daniel Starch of New York, a graduate of Charles City in 1903, who delivered the Commencement address. Charles Cityans who spent the luncheon hour reminiscing included: Dr. and Mrs. Daniel Starch, Mr. J. H. Zimmerman, Mr. and Mrs. W. A. Kasten, Ada Gehring, Mr. and Mrs. E.W. Gehring (Rosa Dodge), Miss Martha Fischer and Miss Laura Fischer. Misses Laura and Martha Fischer attended their fiftieth reunion at Carleton College in June. Eleven of the nineteen living members of their class were present. The Fischers are settled in their home at Houston, Minn. and, judging from their letters, are enjoying life among their old friends. Class of '09 Holds Reunion in Absentia The reunion program of commencement 1949 found members of the class of '09 in far away places, from China to Palestine. Consequently, with one exception, all were present in spirit. Letters were received from Elsie, Fred, Jennie, Jeanette, ldabelle, Clara and enjoyed by proxies Faith Woodford, '07, Genevieve Howard Hayes, '07, Mirah Mills, '08, Berthemia McCarthy, '06, Mabel Killam Maynard, '04, and Miss Dimmitt. We received no replies from Edwin, Ida, Zula, Percy, Stella Mae, Si, Mary Alice, Alvah, Julia, Martie, Mae, Jake and Blanch -where are you? Roll will be called again in 1954---although television may be perfected by that time, plan to come "home." We shall be expecting you! Ethel R. Murray, reporting P. S. I know it will be interesting to the class to learn that Idabelle Lewis received her invitation to the reunion in China and her reply was received. Ida is returning to the United States. REUNION OF CLASS OF 1914 The thirty-fifth reunion of the Class of 1914 was held in a large part of correspondence, in that five times as many members took part by letters and greetings as actually attended. In other words, four of us were present in body and twentysome in spirit! Some of these "spirits" came a long way, too-from California, from "back east," and "down south." Letters were written to thirty or more, members on the list given me by the Alumni Office. On that list are seven names followed by the word "deceased." For one there is no address-Florence Long (Mrs. F. F. McDonald). Answers came back from all but ten and of these, at least one 1949 wasn't reached because of a wrong address. Let me, here and now, add my plea to that of the Alumni Secretary-please notify her of any change of address! ... As the answers started to come in, I the "secretary" by decree, began thoroughly to enjoy my job. It was most interesting to compare the middle-aged writer with the person last seen in a cap and gown. Almost without ex c e pt i o n, though, changes in personality were so slight that it was impossible to believe that thirty five years had intervened. However, the "information" I had requested about their work and families, turned out to be largely about their children and their careers. The '14ers are justly proud of their childrenthe list of their scholarships, prizes, responsible positions, degrees, is most impressive. Disregarding the second generation, we can boast a little, also, being represented in Who's Who, in every profession, in science, and in business. The women are doing their share, with many activities outside their homes. Those who attended the luncheon in spirit only mustn't imagine that we four classmates: Lee Barks (who presided over the whole meeting), Earl Fullbrook, John Kolp and I, sat alone to do our reunioning. Members of the classes of 1913 and 1915 sat with us, besides some distinguished faculty members, including President Roadman, and Mrs. Roadman. Several of those who helped us reminisce were, Harry Chipman, ex'13, Florence Kingsbury, '13, Elsie Johnson Jones, '15, and my husband. Although she couldn't share in our talk of the past, Earl Fullbrook's charming wife was an appreciated addition to our group. Lee Bark's wife, Leone, sat with her own group, and John's wife wasn't present. The letters and greetings were passed about and enjoyedfrequently we forgot to eat. Our fortieth reunion is just around the corner, start planning it now! Helen Giehm Barrett Page 3 SPENDS SUMMER AS DELEGATE TO LABOR CONFERENCE IN EURO.P E . Keene Roadman ('39), who has been in the Department of Labor in Washington for seven and a half years, left for Geneva, Switzerland, on May 19 as a member of the U. S. delegation to the International Labor Conference. The International Labor Organization of the old League of Nations structure which survived the League and it is now a specialized agency of the United Nations. It is unique in international bodies in that it is made up of repr esentatives of government, employers, and workers of the member nations (which total 59 in all). Keene was a member of the governing body which met in conference May 27-June 6, and also of the full conference meeting June 6-July 2. He attended a week's conference July 4-10 of the U. S. Labor attaches assigned to foreign service posts in Europe-and also remained for the Economic and Social Council of the United Nations from July 10 to August 12. His wife, who was with him for the last six weeks, returned August 18th on the Queen Elizabeth. Keene accompanied Mr. Philip Kaiser, recently appointed Asst. Secretary of Labor, and who is the U. S. representative on the I. L. C. governing body, and former Director of the Office of International Labor Affairs. ANOTHER REUNION AT THE MENKES On August 7th Lester and Kitty Kolp Menke of Calumet were host and hostess to the third annual reunion of a group of Zet and Tau Delt alumni. Those in attendance were Gary and Millie Wallman; Elwood and Grace Olsen; Edgar and Helen McCracken and Lewis and Dureth Mahood, all of Sioux City; Bob and Kate Bennett of Hinton; John and Shirley Kolp of Manson; Earl and Vera Goodenow of Battle Creek; Elwood and Barbara Olerich and Dave Brinkman of Rolfe and Leonard and Mary Rader of Calumet. Don and Helen Leopold of Sioux City unexpectedly stayed home because of Helen's sudden appendectomy. This group of eleven couples are the parents of twenty-two future Morningsiders. Dave Brinkman has promised to serve as Godfather to all of these children. NEW PICNIC SPOT ON CAMPUS At their thirty-fifth reunion a year ago in June, members of the class of 1913 who were present at a breakfast in the home of Lottie Sanders Milligan, 10 24th Street, pledged funds for a fireplace to be erected on the campus so that college groups might have a spot nearby for picnics. The spacious fireplace built of stone, with wing benches on either side, was completed this summer by Mr. A. R. Toothaker, '03. It is located in an inviting corner of the grove just back of 'The Barn and fairly beckons picnickers to come and start a fire. It is the hope and wish of the Thirteeners that thi s spot with its picnic facilities will become a favorite recreation place for students. �Page 4 WEE MORNINGSIDERS Karen Lynn, born to Mr. ('38) and Mrs. Paul B.

IN 1949 MEMORIAM Morningsiders were shock ed when news came that Major General Vernon E. Prichard, ex'12, army public relations chief, had been killed in a cabin cruiser explosion in Washington, D. C. on July 10. The dockside blast occurred just as a picnic party of prominent Washingtonians was about to start down the Potomac river. Nine were aboard the commodious craft as it pulled away from the swank Corinthian Yacht club in southwest Washington a mile or so from the capital. The blast, of undetermined origin, came just after the craft slipped its moorings. Fire flashed through the expensive vessel, completely wrecking it. Yachtsmen speculated that gasoline fumes about the engine might have ignited. General Prichard was killed instantly, apparently by concussion. Vernon's body was recovered by former ambassador Anthony sides his wife, are a daughter, Carlotta; his mother, Mrs. Grace E. Prichard of Onawa; his brothers George, '13, E lbert, '19, of Onawa and Leslie, '34, an attorney at Emmettsburg, Ia. F uneral services were held in Washington, D. C. According to his wish, General Prichard's body was cremated and the ashes placed in a tomb at West Point where a monument to his memory will be erected. Mr. J ack Hollister, Vernon's football coach at Morningside, sent to the Alumni office a clipping concerning Vern, which came the morning of his death. The article, taken from the Chicago Tribune, stated that Maj. Gen. V. E. Prichard was to be the principal speaker at the closing session of the two day convention of the 1st armored division, which he commanded in Italy. 'The reunion was being held in the Congress Hotel in Chicago. Coach Hollister added that it was when Vern captained the team at Morningside that he led his team mates to a one touchdown victory over Ames; he went then to West Point and used plays, particularly the forward pass, to defeat the Navy for the first time in several years. Maj. Gen. Prichard served in both world wars, and had a distinguished military career. He was a graduate of the Army War college, Washington, D. C.; the two-year course of the command and general staff school, Fort Leavenworth, Kan., and the artillery school, Fort Sill, Okla. H e held a professorship in military science and tactics at Yale university and an instructorship at West Point. He served twice as an aid to commanding generals, once with Gen. Bundy in 1918 and later with Gen . Hugh A. Drum. MARR MARRIAGES J. Drexel Biddle, Jr., now on duty as an army colonel, who plunged back into the wreckage-strewn water, after helping Mrs. Biddle and Mrs. Prichard to safety. Mrs. Prichard escaped injury. After graduating from Onawa High School in 1908, Vernon attended Morningside College for two years where he became a football star, prior to ent ering West Point military academy. He completed his course at West Point in 1915. H e was an all-American football quarterback on the Army t eam in 1913 and was captain of the t eam in 1914.

M. 1949 was shown over last fall by many players during spring workouts and many men were switched to different positions which the coaching staff thought they could more capably fill. The squad has some excellent talent available but is lacking in depth, both in the backfield and line. The men are willing a nd the squad spirit is high, and any team with morale will be difficult to whip. Hard work and spirit, Allen believes, will overcome some of the handicaps caused by inexperience. Competition has been tough for starting positions and several lettermen may be ousted from their regular berths by aggressive reserves and newcomers. MAROONS OPEN SEASON WITH 20 TO O WIN OVER BUENA VISTA 1949 MAROON FOOTBALL PROSPECTS Nineteen returning lettermen form the nucleus about which football coaches George Allen and Bill Pritula are molding their 1949 squad. It will be the second year at Morningside for Allen and Pritula who brought the intricate "Michigan system" with them last fall. This system, which features the deceptive spinning fullback and multiple ball-handling, takes t wo or three years to learn but once mastered it can turn out to be one of the most devastating offenses to stop in modern football. Last fall Allen and Pritula came to Morningside without any advance knowledge of the material on hand and used practically a freshman varsity with as many as eight freshmen in the starting lineup. In addition to last season, the Maroons had six good weeks of intensive spring practice in which the offense was geared and polished for the rugged 11game schedule this fall. Much improvement Morningside unfolded a speedy, deceptive running attack at Storm Lake Saturday night, September 10, in a driving rainstorm to open the 1949 Iowa college football season with a 20 to 0 victory over the Buena Vista college Beavers. The Maroons utilized quick opening plays each time to push over their touchdowns. They picked up their first tally in the initial quarter when Oscar Jones, fleet footed negro fullback, raced 44 yards to score. The last play of the first half produced the Maroons' second touchdown. Triple-threat tailback Connie Gallahan plunged over from the two-yard line to climax a 34-yard drive after an exchange of punts. Callahan set up the touchdown with a 20-yard run. Again it was Callahan in the opening minutes of the third period after the Maroons recovered a fumb le in Beaver territory. On the next two plays he ran 27 yards to put the ball in position, then finished it off with a 15-yard dash for the score. Bob Hamblin, 195-pound center who Allee Gy mnasi um Nearing Completion Page 7 transferred from Flint junior college, Flint, Michigan, kicked the two points after the touchdowns. The Morningside forward wall presented a tight defense for the host school and prevent ed them from penetrating within the Maroon 30-yard line. The Maroons did not throw a single pass the entire evening, and netted 227 yards on the ground compared to 52 yards for the Beavers. MAROONS TURN BACK NORTH DAKOTA UNIVERSITY 12 TO 0 The Maroons ripped off long sustained drives in the second and fourth quarters Saturday night, September 17, to upset the highly favored North Dakota university Sioux at Grand Forks, N. D., to open the 1949 North Central conference race. Again it was speedster Oscar Jones and elusive Connie Callahan who teamed up to provide the offensive spark in both of the payoff marches. They shared touchdown honors. Most of the glory, however, could be credited to a charging line which kept the "Fighting Sioux" effectively bottled. The Maroons got away on their first touchdown drive when they took over the ball on their own 21-yard line as the first period ended to start a 79-yard push. Callahan raced around left end from the 7-yard line after a succession of plays f eaturing a 45-yard run by Jones. . Morningside's fourth period score came when the Maroons took the ball over on downs on their own 28-yard line, the deepest penetration the Sioux made during the evening, to start a 72-yard march. Jones completed the drive by skirting around his left end from the 9-yard marker. The Maroons, who rolled up 14 first downs to 8 for North Dakota, were threatening again as the final gun sounded after reserve end Leo Clark intercepted a Sioux aerial on the enemy 30-yard line. �Page 8 SEPTEMBER, 1949 Coral Swenson Robert VanderWilt, ex'49 June 11, East Side Lutheran Church Sioux F alls, South Dakota At home : Rock Rapids, Iowa Ruth Anne Ditzel, ex'51 John A.

THE MORNINGSIDER Vol. 8 SEPTEMBER, 1949 No. 1 1949 Homecoming Scheduled For October 7-8-9 LARGE CLASS GRA DUATES AT SUMMER COMMENCEMENT With the conferring of degrees on seniors at summer term commencement exercises on August 12, Morningside College completed graduation of the largest number of students in any one year in its history. Combining the three classes of January, June and August, a total of 224 diplomas were awarded during 1949 by the college. Forty-five bachelor of science degrees, 25 bachelor of art degrees, seven bachelor's degree in music education and one bachelorate of music were awarded by Dr. Roadman during the August ceremonies at Grace Methodist church on the campus. Dr. Garfield D. Merner, distinguished San Francisco executive and educator, spoke on "The Intangibles." He told the graduating class that: "Intelligent service to his fellowman and his count ry should be the goal of every college graduate. The way to achieve this goal is to accentuate the intangibles-the cultural side of life from which a person may draw refreshment and stimulating enjoyment. Such things as good reading, travel, the joy of doing things for others, goodwill and the study of nature, music and art would enable a person to serve his fellowman and his country much more intelligently and would make this country greater than it already is." Dr. Merner is cofounder and vice president of five colleges and universities and on the board of three other colleges. After Dr. Merner's address the class was presented to Dr. Roadman by Dean Thomas E. Tweito. Summa cum laude honors went to William Down Wolle, magna cum laude honors to Miss Gladys Gary Logan of Sioux City, and Miss Edith Mae Fiderlick of Callender, Ia., received cum laude honors. A feature of the program was the presentation of the honorary degree of doctor of humane letters to Mrs. Louise Freese, staff writer for the Journal-Tribune publications, in recognition of her "achievements in both the fields of journalism and of community leadership." Those who received degree are: Bachelor of Arts: Dale Baker, Shirley Booz, Mary Lou Brand, James Brodie, Lyle Couture, George DeVries, Jr., Willis Dewey, William Dubes, Donald Fischer, Rich- 87 Coach George Allen scutinizes his 1949 football squad and hopes for a good season ahead. ard G.

To head its new Livestock Ma rketing Department, Morningside College has secured Professor R. C. Ashby who is recognized as one of the foremost authorities on Livestock Marketing in the United States. Dr. Ashby has served as a member of the Animal Husbandry Staff at Washington State and the Universities of Nebraska and Minnesota. In addition to his experience in teaching livestock marketing, Dr. Ashby has had much practical experience; he has served as a consultant for the Packers and Livestock Administration, U. S. Department of Agriculture and the Livestock Exchanges in Sioux City, St. Louis, and Chicago. He is a member of the Board of Directors of the St. Louis Stock Yards Company. Before coming to Morningside, Dr. Ashby was a professor of Livestock Marketing at the University of Illinois. Dr. E . Theodore Bauer, a professor in the sociology department at Iowa Wesleyan college, Mount Pleasant, since 1947, has accepted the position of depa rtment head and associate professor of the sociology department. He replaces Prof. H . B. Hawthorn, who was forced to resign because of poor health, but who will continue to teach the sociology course in the evening division. Dr. Bauer received the degree of bachelor of arts at Iowa Wesleyan in 1928 and a bachelor of divinity degree from Northwestern university in 1930. In 1935 he received a master of arts degree from Drake university and was awarded the degree of doctor of philosophy at the University of Iowa in June. Professor F . M. Semans, who has been serving as consultant biologist with the United States department of agriculture in Colima, Mexico, is the new head of the biology department. Prof. Semans will r eplace Dr. Roy M. Chatters, who has accepted a position in the biology department at Oklahoma A. and M. college, Stillwater, Okla. Prof. Chatters has been at Morning- side the last three years. A graduate of Ohio State university, Prof. Semans also attended Harvard university and Stone biological laboratory. He received his master's and doctor's degr ees from Ohio Stat e university. Before his services with t he department of agriculture, Prof. Semans taught biology and allied subjects in various colleges and universities. He has published several pamphlets on biological subjects. A graduate of Mankato State Teachers college and the University of Minnesota, Ayers McGrew has been employed as speech and debate instructor. Professor McGrew also has done graduate work in speech at Northwestern University, Evanston, Ill., and some graduate work for his master of arts and doctorate degrees at the Universit y of Minnesota. He has had experience in intercollegiate debate and for several years was the debate coach of Worthington, Minnesota high school which is known throughout the middle west for its excellent debate teams. McGrew is not only a speech man, however. While in college he minored in the political and social sciences and was active in college athletics. Miss Mary Elizabeth Bowne, instructor in physical education at Bradley university, Peoria, Ill., has accepted the position of director of physical education for women at Morningside. Miss Bowne is a graduate of Coe College, Cedar Rapids, Ia. receiving a bachelor of arts degree. She received a master of science degree from the University of Wisconsin at Madison, and now is preparing for the doctor's degree with a major in education and physical education. She was instructor of physical education for nine years at Roosevelt high school in Cedar Rapids, director of physical education at St. Mary's college, Leavenworth, Kan., and for the last two years an instructor at Bra dley.

He also taught at Michigan State college in East Lansing and was in the music section of the copyright office of the Library of Congress for two years. He has received a bachelor of music degree from Michigan State college and a master of music degree from the Eastman school, University of Rochester, Rochester, N. Y. Professor Morrison will work with Dr. Knud Andersson of Bielefeld, Germany. Because of the difficulty of getting out of Germany, however, Dr. Andersson probably will not arrive in Sioux City for two or three months. Miss Charlotte Tagg, ex'46, new instructor in cello in the Conservatory, did h er under-graduate work at Morningside College and received her bachelor of music degr ee from Indiana University, Bloomington, Indiana. She completed her master of music degree in music literature with a major in. cello at Eastman School of Music, University of Rochester, Rochester, New ship. She studied cello with Luigi Silva.

Miss Shirley Booz, also a 1949 graduate, will assist Miss Bowne in the Women's Physical Education department. She will t each classes in modern dance, folk dancing and badminton. SEP :TEMBER, REUNIONS CONTINUED FROM JUNE Charles City Reunion Miss Laura Fischer, beloved instructor of German at Morningside, who retired in June after fifty years of teaching, sponsored a reunion of former Charles City grads and students, honoring Dr. Daniel Starch of New York, a graduate of Charles City in 1903, who delivered the Commencement address. Charles Cityans who spent the luncheon hour reminiscing included: Dr. and Mrs. Daniel Starch, Mr. J. H. Zimmerman, Mr. and Mrs. W. A. Kasten, Ada Gehring, Mr. and Mrs. E.W. Gehring (Rosa Dodge), Miss Martha Fischer and Miss Laura Fischer. Misses Laura and Martha Fischer attended their fiftieth reunion at Carleton College in June. Eleven of the nineteen living members of their class were present. The Fischers are settled in their home at Houston, Minn. and, judging from their letters, are enjoying life among their old friends. Class of '09 Holds Reunion in Absentia The reunion program of commencement 1949 found members of the class of '09 in far away places, from China to Palestine. Consequently, with one exception, all were present in spirit. Letters were received from Elsie, Fred, Jennie, Jeanette, ldabelle, Clara and enjoyed by proxies Faith Woodford, '07, Genevieve Howard Hayes, '07, Mirah Mills, '08, Berthemia McCarthy, '06, Mabel Killam Maynard, '04, and Miss Dimmitt. We received no replies from Edwin, Ida, Zula, Percy, Stella Mae, Si, Mary Alice, Alvah, Julia, Martie, Mae, Jake and Blanch -where are you? Roll will be called again in 1954---although television may be perfected by that time, plan to come "home." We shall be expecting you! Ethel R. Murray, reporting P. S. I know it will be interesting to the class to learn that Idabelle Lewis received her invitation to the reunion in China and her reply was received. Ida is returning to the United States. REUNION OF CLASS OF 1914 The thirty-fifth reunion of the Class of 1914 was held in a large part of correspondence, in that five times as many members took part by letters and greetings as actually attended. In other words, four of us were present in body and twentysome in spirit! Some of these "spirits" came a long way, too-from California, from "back east," and "down south." Letters were written to thirty or more, members on the list given me by the Alumni Office. On that list are seven names followed by the word "deceased." For one there is no address-Florence Long (Mrs. F. F. McDonald). Answers came back from all but ten and of these, at least one 1949 wasn't reached because of a wrong address. Let me, here and now, add my plea to that of the Alumni Secretary-please notify her of any change of address! ... As the answers started to come in, I the "secretary" by decree, began thoroughly to enjoy my job. It was most interesting to compare the middle-aged writer with the person last seen in a cap and gown. Almost without ex c e pt i o n, though, changes in personality were so slight that it was impossible to believe that thirty five years had intervened. However, the "information" I had requested about their work and families, turned out to be largely about their children and their careers. The '14ers are justly proud of their childrenthe list of their scholarships, prizes, responsible positions, degrees, is most impressive. Disregarding the second generation, we can boast a little, also, being represented in Who's Who, in every profession, in science, and in business. The women are doing their share, with many activities outside their homes. Those who attended the luncheon in spirit only mustn't imagine that we four classmates: Lee Barks (who presided over the whole meeting), Earl Fullbrook, John Kolp and I, sat alone to do our reunioning. Members of the classes of 1913 and 1915 sat with us, besides some distinguished faculty members, including President Roadman, and Mrs. Roadman. Several of those who helped us reminisce were, Harry Chipman, ex'13, Florence Kingsbury, '13, Elsie Johnson Jones, '15, and my husband. Although she couldn't share in our talk of the past, Earl Fullbrook's charming wife was an appreciated addition to our group. Lee Bark's wife, Leone, sat with her own group, and John's wife wasn't present. The letters and greetings were passed about and enjoyedfrequently we forgot to eat. Our fortieth reunion is just around the corner, start planning it now! Helen Giehm Barrett Page 3 SPENDS SUMMER AS DELEGATE TO LABOR CONFERENCE IN EURO.P E . Keene Roadman ('39), who has been in the Department of Labor in Washington for seven and a half years, left for Geneva, Switzerland, on May 19 as a member of the U. S. delegation to the International Labor Conference. The International Labor Organization of the old League of Nations structure which survived the League and it is now a specialized agency of the United Nations. It is unique in international bodies in that it is made up of repr esentatives of government, employers, and workers of the member nations (which total 59 in all). Keene was a member of the governing body which met in conference May 27-June 6, and also of the full conference meeting June 6-July 2. He attended a week's conference July 4-10 of the U. S. Labor attaches assigned to foreign service posts in Europe-and also remained for the Economic and Social Council of the United Nations from July 10 to August 12. His wife, who was with him for the last six weeks, returned August 18th on the Queen Elizabeth. Keene accompanied Mr. Philip Kaiser, recently appointed Asst. Secretary of Labor, and who is the U. S. representative on the I. L. C. governing body, and former Director of the Office of International Labor Affairs. ANOTHER REUNION AT THE MENKES On August 7th Lester and Kitty Kolp Menke of Calumet were host and hostess to the third annual reunion of a group of Zet and Tau Delt alumni. Those in attendance were Gary and Millie Wallman; Elwood and Grace Olsen; Edgar and Helen McCracken and Lewis and Dureth Mahood, all of Sioux City; Bob and Kate Bennett of Hinton; John and Shirley Kolp of Manson; Earl and Vera Goodenow of Battle Creek; Elwood and Barbara Olerich and Dave Brinkman of Rolfe and Leonard and Mary Rader of Calumet. Don and Helen Leopold of Sioux City unexpectedly stayed home because of Helen's sudden appendectomy. This group of eleven couples are the parents of twenty-two future Morningsiders. Dave Brinkman has promised to serve as Godfather to all of these children. NEW PICNIC SPOT ON CAMPUS At their thirty-fifth reunion a year ago in June, members of the class of 1913 who were present at a breakfast in the home of Lottie Sanders Milligan, 10 24th Street, pledged funds for a fireplace to be erected on the campus so that college groups might have a spot nearby for picnics. The spacious fireplace built of stone, with wing benches on either side, was completed this summer by Mr. A. R. Toothaker, '03. It is located in an inviting corner of the grove just back of 'The Barn and fairly beckons picnickers to come and start a fire. It is the hope and wish of the Thirteeners that thi s spot with its picnic facilities will become a favorite recreation place for students. Page 4 WEE MORNINGSIDERS Karen Lynn, born to Mr. ('38) and Mrs. Paul B.

IN 1949 MEMORIAM Morningsiders were shock ed when news came that Major General Vernon E. Prichard, ex'12, army public relations chief, had been killed in a cabin cruiser explosion in Washington, D. C. on July 10. The dockside blast occurred just as a picnic party of prominent Washingtonians was about to start down the Potomac river. Nine were aboard the commodious craft as it pulled away from the swank Corinthian Yacht club in southwest Washington a mile or so from the capital. The blast, of undetermined origin, came just after the craft slipped its moorings. Fire flashed through the expensive vessel, completely wrecking it. Yachtsmen speculated that gasoline fumes about the engine might have ignited. General Prichard was killed instantly, apparently by concussion. Vernon's body was recovered by former ambassador Anthony sides his wife, are a daughter, Carlotta; his mother, Mrs. Grace E. Prichard of Onawa; his brothers George, '13, E lbert, '19, of Onawa and Leslie, '34, an attorney at Emmettsburg, Ia. F uneral services were held in Washington, D. C. According to his wish, General Prichard's body was cremated and the ashes placed in a tomb at West Point where a monument to his memory will be erected. Mr. J ack Hollister, Vernon's football coach at Morningside, sent to the Alumni office a clipping concerning Vern, which came the morning of his death. The article, taken from the Chicago Tribune, stated that Maj. Gen. V. E. Prichard was to be the principal speaker at the closing session of the two day convention of the 1st armored division, which he commanded in Italy. 'The reunion was being held in the Congress Hotel in Chicago. Coach Hollister added that it was when Vern captained the team at Morningside that he led his team mates to a one touchdown victory over Ames; he went then to West Point and used plays, particularly the forward pass, to defeat the Navy for the first time in several years. Maj. Gen. Prichard served in both world wars, and had a distinguished military career. He was a graduate of the Army War college, Washington, D. C.; the two-year course of the command and general staff school, Fort Leavenworth, Kan., and the artillery school, Fort Sill, Okla. H e held a professorship in military science and tactics at Yale university and an instructorship at West Point. He served twice as an aid to commanding generals, once with Gen. Bundy in 1918 and later with Gen . Hugh A. Drum. MARR MARRIAGES J.

After graduating from Onawa High School in 1908, Vernon attended Morningside College for two years where he became a football star, prior to ent ering West Point military academy. He completed his course at West Point in 1915. H e was an all-American football quarterback on the Army t eam in 1913 and was captain of the t eam in 1914.

M. 1949 was shown over last fall by many players during spring workouts and many men were switched to different positions which the coaching staff thought they could more capably fill. The squad has some excellent talent available but is lacking in depth, both in the backfield and line. The men are willing a nd the squad spirit is high, and any team with morale will be difficult to whip. Hard work and spirit, Allen believes, will overcome some of the handicaps caused by inexperience. Competition has been tough for starting positions and several lettermen may be ousted from their regular berths by aggressive reserves and newcomers. MAROONS OPEN SEASON WITH 20 TO O WIN OVER BUENA VISTA 1949 MAROON FOOTBALL PROSPECTS Nineteen returning lettermen form the nucleus about which football coaches George Allen and Bill Pritula are molding their 1949 squad. It will be the second year at Morningside for Allen and Pritula who brought the intricate "Michigan system" with them last fall. This system, which features the deceptive spinning fullback and multiple ball-handling, takes t wo or three years to learn but once mastered it can turn out to be one of the most devastating offenses to stop in modern football. Last fall Allen and Pritula came to Morningside without any advance knowledge of the material on hand and used practically a freshman varsity with as many as eight freshmen in the starting lineup. In addition to last season, the Maroons had six good weeks of intensive spring practice in which the offense was geared and polished for the rugged 11game schedule this fall. Much improvement Morningside unfolded a speedy, deceptive running attack at Storm Lake Saturday night, September 10, in a driving rainstorm to open the 1949 Iowa college football season with a 20 to 0 victory over the Buena Vista college Beavers. The Maroons utilized quick opening plays each time to push over their touchdowns. They picked up their first tally in the initial quarter when Oscar Jones, fleet footed negro fullback, raced 44 yards to score. The last play of the first half produced the Maroons' second touchdown. Triple-threat tailback Connie Gallahan plunged over from the two-yard line to climax a 34-yard drive after an exchange of punts. Callahan set up the touchdown with a 20-yard run. Again it was Callahan in the opening minutes of the third period after the Maroons recovered a fumb le in Beaver territory. On the next two plays he ran 27 yards to put the ball in position, then finished it off with a 15-yard dash for the score. Bob Hamblin, 195-pound center who Allee Gy mnasi um Nearing Completion Page 7 transferred from Flint junior college, Flint, Michigan, kicked the two points after the touchdowns. The Morningside forward wall presented a tight defense for the host school and prevent ed them from penetrating within the Maroon 30-yard line. The Maroons did not throw a single pass the entire evening, and netted 227 yards on the ground compared to 52 yards for the Beavers. MAROONS TURN BACK NORTH DAKOTA UNIVERSITY 12 TO 0 The Maroons ripped off long sustained drives in the second and fourth quarters Saturday night, September 17, to upset the highly favored North Dakota university Sioux at Grand Forks, N. D., to open the 1949 North Central conference race. Again it was speedster Oscar Jones and elusive Connie Callahan who teamed up to provide the offensive spark in both of the payoff marches. They shared touchdown honors. Most of the glory, however, could be credited to a charging line which kept the "Fighting Sioux" effectively bottled. The Maroons got away on their first touchdown drive when they took over the ball on their own 21-yard line as the first period ended to start a 79-yard push. Callahan raced around left end from the 7-yard line after a succession of plays f eaturing a 45-yard run by Jones. . Morningside's fourth period score came when the Maroons took the ball over on downs on their own 28-yard line, the deepest penetration the Sioux made during the evening, to start a 72-yard march. Jones completed the drive by skirting around his left end from the 9-yard marker. The Maroons, who rolled up 14 first downs to 8 for North Dakota, were threatening again as the final gun sounded after reserve end Leo Clark intercepted a Sioux aerial on the enemy 30-yard line. Page 8 SEPTEMBER, 1949 Coral Swenson Robert VanderWilt, ex'49 June 11, East Side Lutheran Church Sioux F alls, South Dakota At home : Rock Rapids, Iowa Ruth Anne Ditzel, ex'51 John A.

One hundred and twenty six men were present to pay tribute to him on this occasion, and many more who were not able to be present sent written regrets which were read at the luncheon. Following the invocation by Dr. Roadman, Axel Beck of Elk Point, S. D., member of the famous football teams of 1917 and 1919, was introduced as toastmaster and master of ceremonies. Les Davis, '24, of Sioux City, introduced the members of the football team of 1919 who were present. Among those were Faye Rorapaugh, "Red" Day, Les Davis, Axel Beck and Percy Michaelson. Mr. Davis then read a newspaper announcement f the death of Turk o Eiffert, '17, St. Cloud, Minnesota, one of Morningside's star football players during his years in school. A few moments of silence were observed in memory of this former "M" man. The following "M" men were called on for short talks and reminiscences: Judge George Prichard, '13, Onawa, Iowa; Ed Pirwitz, '24, Madison, S. D.; Carroll Northrup, '20, Sioux City; Elmer Hansen, '30, Sioux Falls, S. D.; Ralph Bastian, '29, Ft. Dodge, Ia.; "Red" Williams, '29, Onawa, Ia.; "Pet e" Knudsen, '27, Bushton, Kans.; Bernard Feikema, '42, Hospers, Ia.; Horace Wulf, '19, Chicago, Ill.; and Percy Michaelson, '25, Fargo, N. D. Special honor was accorded those who played under Coach Saunderson from the time he began coaching Morningside football teams in 1912 until his retirement in 1942. Significantly enough, the dinner took place on the thirtieth anniversary of the 1919 season which saw the Maroons climax probably the greatest season in the history of the school by losing to Notre Dame's famed "Fighting Irish" 14 to 6. Wilson Clark, '17, Sioux City, on behalf of the "M" club presented "Saundy" with a gold wrist watch and a scroll containin g the signatures of all those present at the luncheon as well as the names of all the "M" men and friends who contributed t o the gifts. Mr. Clark also presented a gift Entered QUEEN MARJORIE A ll eyes are on the Homecoming Queen, Marjorie Walton, as she is crowned by Dr. Roadman in a ceremony at the intermission of the dance in Alumni Gym. Escort Floyd Lindgren looks on approvingly. of a silver service to "Saundy" for Mrs. Saunderson. Following the presentation of the g ifts and a short speech by "Saundy", talks were given by Al Buckingham, Director of Athletics, and by George Allen, Football Coach. To close the program, movies of the Morningside College--South Dakota State game were shown by Coach Allen. The members of the general committee in charge of the luncheon were: former basketball coach, Honie Rogers, '25, past athletic director, Les Davis, '24, present athletic director, Al Buckingham, '39 and F aye Rorapaugh, '21, Maroon t ackle on the Saunderson t eam of 1919. This committee, through the Morningsider, desires to thank a ll those who took part in the program and who assisted in the arrangements for the luncheon, as well as a ll those "M" men and others who contributed to the g ifts for Mr. and Mrs. Saunderson, and hopes that this account of the dinner will serve as an answer to their request for a r eport of the ba nquet. 'T he luncheon was a happy -event, greatly enjoyed by all who were present. Homecoming, with all its festivities and traditions, held sway on the Morningside campus for three beautiful fall days, October 7, 8 and 9. Although the celebration came only three weeks after the opening of school and preparations consequently had to be made at top speed, busy days and nights spent in making arrangements and completing floats found the students with everything in readiness to welcome home Morningside's former sons and daughters. A victory-hungry ba nd of Maroon warriors outfought a heavier Bison herd at Public School Stadium on Saturday evening, October 8, to win the first Homecoming game in twelve years. This victory over North Dakota State University was the third North Central Conference win this season for Coach George Allen's promising t eam and added the finishing touch to a memorable weekend. The dance in Alumni Gym at 8 :30 Friday evening opened the activities of the weekend. The Homecoming Queen, Miss Ma rjorie Walton, a senior and member -of Kappa Zeta Chi sorority, and h er attenda nts were crowned during the intermission by Dr. Roadman. Attending the Queen were Miss Anne Madison, daughter of Rev. and Mrs. John Madison (Anna Beard) both '16, of Sioux Falls; Miss Jayne Marie Soiseth and Miss Zell Scott and their escorts. Throughout the evening open house was held by the home economics · department in the A. W. Jones Science Hall and at the Barn. Led by the college band, the traditional parade, scheduled for 9 a . m. Saturday morning, started promptly on its march through the business section of downtown Sioux City while admiring spectators offered enthusiastic comments on the beauty and originality of the floats. The snappy East High band, midway in the parade, drew much applause. "Indians" on foot and horseback, in war paint and feathers, bringing home the North Dakota State "Bison," brought Alpha Tau Delta fraternity first prize in the parade competition. Popular street comment was that if "down easterners" had seen the howling "redmen," their suspicions concerning the hazards of western frontier life would have been confirmed.Second prize went to Gamma Iota Alpha as second class matter July 1, 1944, at the pos t office at Sioux City.

Imaginary water cascaded down grassy slopes in the float, Rev. Ralph E. Baker Morningside Springs and North Dakota Falls, which gave the third place award to Mu Pi Epsilon, honorary music fraternity. At noon, besides the special "M" Club luncheon honoring Jason M. Saunderson, sorority and fraternity luncheons were held. Kappa Pi Alpha sorority held their reunion at Green Gables, Alpha Sigma sorority and the Alpha Tau Delta fraternity at the Martin, Kappa Zeta Chi at the West and Phi Sigma at Toney's Homestead. The Gamma Iota Alpha fraternity held a breakfast at 10 :30 o'clock Saturday morning at Green Gables. Sororities and fraternities held open house during the afternoon at their respective houses and halls. Alumni dropped in at the Barn for a chat and cup of coffee with Miss Mirah Mills and Miss Ethel Murray acting as hostesses. The newly elected officers of the Alumni Association were installed at the annual business meeting held at 5:15 in the drawing room of Lillian E . Dimmitt Hall with William Danforth, retiring alumni president, presiding. A report on the progress of the "Fifty Year Committee" was given by David L. Wickens, '13, of Washington, D. C. Wm. C. Wolle reported on the progress of the Living Endowment Fund. Short talks by athletic director Al Buckingham, football coach George Allen and Dr. Roadman were enjoyed before the group adjourned to the dining room where a cafeteria dinner was served. Mrs. Harold Wright (Dorothy Jones, '42), a new member of the alumni executive committee, was general chairman of the dinner, assisted by Mrs. Ted Gilbert (Ardis Bergeson, '30), Mrs. Ralph Crary (Margaret Coleman, '26), Mrs. Howard Down (Alice Bushnell, '23), Mrs. Louis Croston (Hazel Surber, G.

Mr. H. W. Hartman, assistant director of admissions, who had been appointed emcee, reviewed the competition rules for the 10 participating organizations. Three songs were presented by each competing group, the Alma Mater and another school song being required. The choice of the third number was left to the performing group and the selections displayed originality and clever arrangements. The competition was close, with the freshman girls of Ishkoodah winning fi rst, Mu Phi placing second, and the faculty women taking third place. Prizes were provided by Dr. Roa dman and consisted of a trophy and cash awards. CLASSMATES GET TOGETHER On Sunday, September twenty-fifth, a reunion of several members of the class of 1939 and their families was held in the home of Mr. and Mrs. Carl Baker (Miriam Hawthorn, '39) and son, Kent, on the Hillside Turkey Farm near Moville. Those present included Mr. and Mrs. Allan McClain (Virginia Smith, '39) and daughters, Nancy and Linda of Lake Park; Miss Irene Anderson, '39, of Minneapolis, Minn.; Mr. and Mrs. Clifford Swanson ( Clara Louise McBurney, '39) and daughter, Barbara of Essex and Loyd Riedesel (husband of the late Bertha Conner Riedesel, '39) and children, Sydna, Lynn, and Reyna, of Glidden. This group has held a r eunion once or twice yearly since graduation. All of the g irls were members of Alpha Sigma sorority. With the exception of Irene Anderson, who is assistant supervisor of Visiting Nurses in Minneapolis, all now live on Iowa farms. �Page 4 STUDENTS BUILD OWN RADIO STATION A phase of speech department activities originally designed to train members of the class to speak on the r adio has developed into something far more pret entious at Morningside College. It h as resulted in a college radio studio, complete except for actual transmission facilities. Programs originating in the college studio now can be "piped" to a r egular transmitting station and go out over th e airwaves as "live" programs. Formerly all college broadcasts were m ade directly from the transmitting station studio, or were recorded in the college studio and reproduced as a "transcribed" program. One result of the innovation at the college is the organization of the College Hill Broadcasters, a group of students of the speech department and the class in drama tics. The Broadcasters p lan to produce a series of programs including dramas, children's programs and music. A biweekly sports broadcast, originating in the college studio is now b eing presented through a Sioux City station, KCOM. The equipment of the studio was construct ed by the students, the elect ronics portion of the work being designed by Arden Smith , assisted by Sterling St ewart, and Prof. Richa rd Flowers, h ead of t he speech department. Almost all sound effects are possible with the studio's equipment. A turntable or "sound wagon", complet e. with a supply of r ecords and m echanica l devices, makes possible a broad list of sound effects. The college r adio studio was constructed in a building at the r ear of the administration building, and consists of three rooms. One is t he broadcasting booth, which con tains microphones, sound effects facilities and oth er equipment. Another is a classroom equipped with loud speak ers connected with the broa dcasting booth by an inter communication syst em. Between these two rooms is a glass enclosed and sound insulated control room. Through the n ew facilities of the speech department, an opportunity is presented for students wh o are inter ested in a r adio car eer. Only 78 oth er colleges in the U nited States h ave comparable setups. The studio staff at the college radio station, made up entirely of students includes Jim Moody, coordinator of broadcasting ; J a ck Foxen, production manager; Bob Bollinger, script editor; George Brumbaugh, music director; and Charles Alexander, chief of publicity. Other students are st aff m embers under these chiefs. The sportscast er on the current sports program is Max Rawson. Boots Yarborough is script writer and J ack Foxen, producer. It is planned later to h ave college broa dcasts carried to loud speaker s stationed at various points on the campus- classrooms, dormitories and assembly rooms.

They posted their initial win over the Augustana College freshmen, coming out on the long end of a 12 to 7 battle at Sioux F alls, S. D., several weeks ago. The Morningside frosh scored their first touchdown midway in the second period when they took a short Wayne punt on the Wayne 45-yard line. A 44-yard pass play from Skip Cowan to Tony Levitto set up the first tally. Levitto snagged the ball on the 25 and was run out of bounds on the 1-yard line. Dick Wiek ert, Omaha, went off tackle on the next play to score. Wiekert's p lacekick for the extra point was also good. The Maroons scored again in the third period on a 25-yard reverse play by Levitto. A pass play from halfback Cowan to end J ohn Boice from the 40-yard line again set up the scoring situation. Wiek ert's kick for the extra point was blocked. The first varsity practice session of the 1949-50 basketball season began October 10 with practice drills sch eduled at 3 :30 p . m . each day. Lost from the top eight men of last year's varsity through graduation are regulars Howard Harmon, Henry Langstrat, and Bob Horsfall, and substitute Don Coome. However, the other four, Dick Wiedenfeld, Clayton Bristow, John Wiedenfeld, and Red Norris return, along with Basil Brock and Bob Downing from last season's varsity and Johnnie Williams, who played on the 1947-48 t eam. "These returnees," says Coach Buckingham, "should make a fin e nucleus which, when rounded out with r eturning junior varsity members and transfer students, will form a team that will give a good account of itself." Ox Held, sidelined last year due to a football injury, ·will be back in action. Bob Brock, Forrest McElmurray, Bill Lyle, Harold Adams, Jack Reardon, and Loren Moll from last year's junior varsity and two transfer students from junior colleges, Ray Berry and Doug Gresham, are expect ed to add depth to the squad. The North Central Conference is set up on a round-robin basis this year, playing six games at home and an equal number away. Minnesota University (Duluth Branch ), has been added t o the Maroon schedule. 'T he freshman basketball aspirants have b een working out on their own, a nd "looking good," sa ys Mr. Buckingham. "They h ave height, and some have a lot of ability." The Allee Gymnasium sh ould be r eady for the opening basketball game w ith Wayne State Teachers on November 26. Athletic Director Al Buckingham states that this does not m ean the building will be completely finished by then, h owever. The exact completion date has not been set, but t he floor and surrounding area is exrected t o be r eady for use. Folding bleach er s have been ordered and installation of them will begin around November first. , Plans have been ma de for a bask etball clinic during the day, fo llowed by the Wayne game in the evening . ALUMNI OFFICERS FOR 1949-50 Installed at the annua l business meeting on Saturday, October 8th, in the drawing room of Lillian E . Diimmitt Hall, were the newly elected officers of the A lumni Association. Former Morningsiders returned over 900 ballots from all parts of the United States with several coming from Alaska. Even with members from the class of 1900 through to the '49ers, recently admitted to the Tribe of the Sioux, participating and registering their choice for officers, the final results were in doubt until all ballots had been tabulated.

IN MEMORIAM Paul E iffer t P aul (Turk) Eiffert, a graduate of the class of 1917, died on September 28th of a heart attack at his home in Haven township near St. Cloud, Minn. Following his gr aduation from Morningside, where he had a brilliant athletic career, "Turk" played professional baseball for several years aft er which he settled on a farm home near St. Cloud. He was married to Mabel St ark on June 24, 1938 and she, a daugh ter, Faith, aged 9 and a son, Herman, ag ed 6, survive. We print the following t r ibute to Turk wh ich was published in the St. Cloud paper. And Turk Eiffert is Taken Out of the Lineup TooSome will remember h im as an umpire, others as a baseball player or as a conservationist, bird-lover and outdoorsman . . . But many will think of him for his witticisms, his clean, dry humor and his friendliness . . . One of his close friends, Walter Zapp, told me this: "Turk Eiffert was one of the f inest baseball players that ever played in Central Minnesota. His ability as a ball player was only exceeded by his fine character. I hunted with him for a number of years and to him a limit was a limit and shooting hours were shooting hours. How I wish there were more like him" . . . . Paul Eiffert, who died the other day, was known as Turk, and well known . . . As a young man, he was so good that Knute Rockne picked him as halfback on his small college All-American team-when All-American teams meant something .. . He was one of the three men at Morningside in Sioux City, who won four letters in one term-in football, basketball, track and baseball . . . That he was good there is no doubt . . . For six years he played with Class A clubs of the St. Louis Cardinals, and in 1921 he was in the big tent with the Cards . . . Later he went to the Michi- gan-Ontario league-returning here to play, manage and coach with some of the great est semi-pro and pro teams this city ever had prior to its affiliation with the Nort hern league . .. In 1936 he became affilliated with the Central Minnesot a Umpires association, and while operating the home farm with his brother, Dick, he became known for his integrity and ability as an official-being called out for the tough ones in City league softball as well as baseball. He loved the outdoors, and everything in it . . . He wouldn't shoot a doe, he kept records for years on the flight of birds . . . He knew all the plants native to the area . . . He was much interested in conservation of all kinds . . . For the last three years he has been chairman of the Sherburne county AAA program . . . But his humor still is his standout quality, and when people visit the home farm they'll probably continue to get a small chuckle mixed with a tear when they think of him . . . For near the entrance to his home he had t he little insignia: "Turk's Dugout". . . �OCTOBER, Page 7 1949 MAROONS NEAR TOP IN CONFERENCE COMPETITION With one loss to South Dakota State and a tie with South Dakota University, Morningside is closely edging Iowa Teachers and North Dakota State in the North Central Conference race. South Dakota State Morningside The Morningside Maroons fell victim to a second half surge and were defeated by the South Dakota State Jackrabbits by a score of 27 to 20 on September 24. The Maroons, riding the crest of a two game winning streak, had previously blasted Buena Vista by a score of 20 to O in a driving rain, and spilled the North Dakota Bison by a score of 12 to O in a thrilling upset victory. The game with State f eatured a battle of offenses all the way, with the Jackrabbits exhibiting a superb slight-of-hand performance off the "T", and the Maroon's displaying a powerful single wing that scored touchdowns on drives of 87 and 94 yards. The longest touchdown thrust of the Dakotans cover ed a distance of 67 yards. Faulty tackling was one of the strongest factors in the defeat of the Maroons as many of the Bunnies' gains came after tacklers had either missed or bounced off. The Maroons secondary stopped many plays throughout the game as the forward wall crumbled befor e the Jackrabbit attack. Maroon defensive stand-outs were Ed Nelson at tackle and Bob Hanson in the line backing spot. Offensively, Connie Callahan and Bruce Pickford were impressive. Morningside - Augustana An underdog Maroon eleven rose to brilliant heights Saturday, October 1, to upset the favored Vikings of Augustana by a score of 26 to 7. The close score of 13 to 7 at the half hardly told a true story, as the Maroon eleven viciously smashed the Vikings for long marches. Morningside outdowned the Vikings for the first half by a 9 to 3 margin, while rolling up approximately 180 yards by rushing to about 60 yards for the Augustana eleven. The game was rough and bitterly fought by the two teams, with an Augustana back being ejected for committing a personal foul of the two-fisted variety. The scoring stepped up in the fourth quarter as the Augie eleven crumbled under the crushing play of the Maroon attack. Scoring for the Maroons were Callahan, who accounted for two, and Jack Reardon and Wall y Piper with one touchdown ea ch. The second quarter furnished plenty of spectator excitement, as Callahan booted a 73-yard quick kick and the Vikings completed a pass play of 46 yards, setting up their only touchdown. The Maroons presented a strong defensive forward wall and a good pass defense, while the Vikings were outplayed throughout the game. Maroon Backs--Pickford, Hanson, Jones, Callahan--With Morningside - North Dakota State Sioux City Public Sch ool St a dium was the scene of mayhem two consecutive week s as a tough Maroon eleven threw two highly rated outfits for 39 to 20 and 34 t o 7 losses. The first of the t wo victories was at the expen se of a pon der ous North Dakot a State t eam which was battered unmer cifull y by the vicious att ack of t he Morningsiders. The Mar oon s h eld a convincing statistica l edge in all departments of play a s they outdowned the Bison 18 t o 9. NDS simply could n ot move against the Morningsiders' fas t-charging line, while t h e Maroon back s were having a fi eld day , picking up yardage at will. All of the Bison scoring occured during the fin al period, as they t allied for t hree touchd owns and seven of nine first downs. Morningside - Con cordia On Thursday, Oct ober 13, was staged a battle of two of t h e slick est offen ses seen in a long while at the st a dium. The Maroons were host t o a highly rat ed Concordia eleven in a Dad's night contest. The father s could have been nothing but pleased as their sons dum ped t h e slightly favored Minnesotans to the t une of 34 t o 7. Both outfits displayed smooth offen sive play, with the Morningsider s putt ing up the more p ow erful defen se. The Maroon s wer e again on the long end of st atistical count, outdowning the Cobbers 19 t o 11. This game featured two am azing goal line st ands, one by each t eam, but the Mar oon s again h ad the stuff t o beat down a ll resistance and emer ge on t op. a "Will to Win" Morningside - South Dakota Univei·sity Fighting a defen sive bat t le most of t h e w ay la st Saturday, Oct ober 22, the Maroon s just managed t o pull even with a Coyote t eam tha t was up for it s Dak ot a Day perf orm ance and cam e away with a 6-all t ie.

On the en suing kick off Connie Call ah an pulled in the ball and from behind his own goal line power ed his way beyond the mid-f ield strip, then suddenly veer ed to the sidelines a nd out- raced the last desper at e defenders. t o the goal line. It was a daz zling run ba ck of over 100 yar ds and probably was the play that bolst ered t h e Maroon spirit to stave off t h e numer ou s Dak ota advances that foll owed. The Mar oons missed t wo oth er game winning chances wh en a to o rushed field goal att empt failed as fi rst h alf seconds were r unning out, and wh en a thir d quarter pass fr om Callah an slipped out of Pickford's h and s aft er .a desperate off-balan ce attempt.

THE MORNINGSIDER OCTOBER, Vol. 8 1949 No. 2 • in "M" MEN HONOR "SAUNDY" One of the highlights of the homecoming festivities was the annual "M" club luncheon Saturday noon, Octoter 8th, at the Martin Hotel, held in honor of "Saundy" and in appreciation of his thirty years of coaching at Morningside. One hundred and twenty six men were present to pay tribute to him on this occasion, and many more who were not able to be present sent written regrets which were read at the luncheon. Following the invocation by Dr. Roadman, Axel Beck of Elk Point, S. D., member of the famous football teams of 1917 and 1919, was introduced as toastmaster and master of ceremonies. Les Davis, '24, of Sioux City, introduced the members of the football team of 1919 who were present. Among those were Faye Rorapaugh, "Red" Day, Les Davis, Axel Beck and Percy Michaelson. Mr. Davis then read a newspaper announcement f the death of Turk o Eiffert, '17, St. Cloud, Minnesota, one of Morningside's star football players during his years in school. A few moments of silence were observed in memory of this former "M" man. The following "M" men were called on for short talks and reminiscences: Judge George Prichard, '13, Onawa, Iowa; Ed Pirwitz, '24, Madison, S. D.; Carroll Northrup, '20, Sioux City; Elmer Hansen, '30, Sioux Falls, S. D.; Ralph Bastian, '29, Ft. Dodge, Ia.; "Red" Williams, '29, Onawa, Ia.; "Pet e" Knudsen, '27, Bushton, Kans.; Bernard Feikema, '42, Hospers, Ia.; Horace Wulf, '19, Chicago, Ill.; and Percy Michaelson, '25, Fargo, N. D. Special honor was accorded those who played under Coach Saunderson from the time he began coaching Morningside football teams in 1912 until his retirement in 1942. Significantly enough, the dinner took place on the thirtieth anniversary of the 1919 season which saw the Maroons climax probably the greatest season in the history of the school by losing to Notre Dame's famed "Fighting Irish" 14 to 6. Wilson Clark, '17, Sioux City, on behalf of the "M" club presented "Saundy" with a gold wrist watch and a scroll containin g the signatures of all those present at the luncheon as well as the names of all the "M" men and friends who contributed t o the gifts. Mr. Clark also presented a gift Entered QUEEN MARJORIE A ll eyes are on the Homecoming Queen, Marjorie Walton, as she is crowned by Dr. Roadman in a ceremony at the intermission of the dance in Alumni Gym. Escort Floyd Lindgren looks on approvingly. of a silver service to "Saundy" for Mrs. Saunderson. Following the presentation of the g ifts and a short speech by "Saundy", talks were given by Al Buckingham, Director of Athletics, and by George Allen, Football Coach. To close the program, movies of the Morningside College--South Dakota State game were shown by Coach Allen. The members of the general committee in charge of the luncheon were: former basketball coach, Honie Rogers, '25, past athletic director, Les Davis, '24, present athletic director, Al Buckingham, '39 and F aye Rorapaugh, '21, Maroon t ackle on the Saunderson t eam of 1919. This committee, through the Morningsider, desires to thank a ll those who took part in the program and who assisted in the arrangements for the luncheon, as well as a ll those "M" men and others who contributed to the g ifts for Mr. and Mrs. Saunderson, and hopes that this account of the dinner will serve as an answer to their request for a r eport of the ba nquet. 'T he luncheon was a happy -event, greatly enjoyed by all who were present. Homecoming, with all its festivities and traditions, held sway on the Morningside campus for three beautiful fall days, October 7, 8 and 9. Although the celebration came only three weeks after the opening of school and preparations consequently had to be made at top speed, busy days and nights spent in making arrangements and completing floats found the students with everything in readiness to welcome home Morningside's former sons and daughters. A victory-hungry ba nd of Maroon warriors outfought a heavier Bison herd at Public School Stadium on Saturday evening, October 8, to win the first Homecoming game in twelve years. This victory over North Dakota State University was the third North Central Conference win this season for Coach George Allen's promising t eam and added the finishing touch to a memorable weekend. The dance in Alumni Gym at 8 :30 Friday evening opened the activities of the weekend. The Homecoming Queen, Miss Ma rjorie Walton, a senior and member -of Kappa Zeta Chi sorority, and h er attenda nts were crowned during the intermission by Dr. Roadman. Attending the Queen were Miss Anne Madison, daughter of Rev. and Mrs. John Madison (Anna Beard) both '16, of Sioux Falls; Miss Jayne Marie Soiseth and Miss Zell Scott and their escorts. Throughout the evening open house was held by the home economics · department in the A. W. Jones Science Hall and at the Barn. Led by the college band, the traditional parade, scheduled for 9 a . m. Saturday morning, started promptly on its march through the business section of downtown Sioux City while admiring spectators offered enthusiastic comments on the beauty and originality of the floats. The snappy East High band, midway in the parade, drew much applause. "Indians" on foot and horseback, in war paint and feathers, bringing home the North Dakota State "Bison," brought Alpha Tau Delta fraternity first prize in the parade competition. Popular street comment was that if "down easterners" had seen the howling "redmen," their suspicions concerning the hazards of western frontier life would have been confirmed.Second prize went to Gamma Iota Alpha as second class matter July 1, 1944, at the pos t office at Sioux City. Iowa, under the act of August September to June, inclusive, by Morningside College (Continued on page 2) 24, 1912 - Published monthly from ' Page 2 OCTOBER , 1949 fraternity, whose float, Kickoff to Victory, portrayed a giant football resting on the toe of a giant shoe. Imaginary water cascaded down grassy slopes in the float, Rev. Ralph E. Baker Morningside Springs and North Dakota Falls, which gave the third place award to Mu Pi Epsilon, honorary music fraternity. At noon, besides the special "M" Club luncheon honoring Jason M. Saunderson, sorority and fraternity luncheons were held. Kappa Pi Alpha sorority held their reunion at Green Gables, Alpha Sigma sorority and the Alpha Tau Delta fraternity at the Martin, Kappa Zeta Chi at the West and Phi Sigma at Toney's Homestead. The Gamma Iota Alpha fraternity held a breakfast at 10 :30 o'clock Saturday morning at Green Gables. Sororities and fraternities held open house during the afternoon at their respective houses and halls. Alumni dropped in at the Barn for a chat and cup of coffee with Miss Mirah Mills and Miss Ethel Murray acting as hostesses. The newly elected officers of the Alumni Association were installed at the annual business meeting held at 5:15 in the drawing room of Lillian E . Dimmitt Hall with William Danforth, retiring alumni president, presiding. A report on the progress of the "Fifty Year Committee" was given by David L. Wickens, '13, of Washington, D. C. Wm. C. Wolle reported on the progress of the Living Endowment Fund. Short talks by athletic director Al Buckingham, football coach George Allen and Dr. Roadman were enjoyed before the group adjourned to the dining room where a cafeteria dinner was served. Mrs. Harold Wright (Dorothy Jones, '42), a new member of the alumni executive committee, was general chairman of the dinner, assisted by Mrs. Ted Gilbert (Ardis Bergeson, '30), Mrs. Ralph Crary (Margaret Coleman, '26), Mrs. Howard Down (Alice Bushnell, '23), Mrs. Louis Croston (Hazel Surber, G. I. A. Fraternity's "KICKOFF TO VICTORY" Alpha Tau Delta "BISON" Places Second Wins First Place '29), Mrs. George Iseminger (Marjorie Primmer, '39), Mrs. Al Buckingham (Marian Miller, ex'42) and Mrs. Robert Brooks (Lauretta King, '42) . Homecoming celebration ended on a religious note with a special church service Sunday morning at Grace Methodist church. Dr. Earl A. Roadman introduced the principal speaker, Rev. Ralph E . Baker, class of 1932, now pastor of the Methodist church at Spirit Lake, Iowa. Mrs. Baker, the former Chalice Moore, is also a Morningside graduate of the class of 1932. Rev . Mr. Baker emphasized three points in his sermon: what's wrong with the world, what are we going to do about it and Christ is the answer. The speaker also reminisced about his college days at Morningside and lauded the school for recent material improvements.

It h as resulted in a college radio studio, complete except for actual transmission facilities. Programs originating in the college studio now can be "piped" to a r egular transmitting station and go out over th e airwaves as "live" programs. Formerly all college broadcasts were m ade directly from the transmitting station studio, or were recorded in the college studio and reproduced as a "transcribed" program. One result of the innovation at the college is the organization of the College Hill Broadcasters, a group of students of the speech department and the class in drama tics. The Broadcasters p lan to produce a series of programs including dramas, children's programs and music. A biweekly sports broadcast, originating in the college studio is now b eing presented through a Sioux City station, KCOM. The equipment of the studio was construct ed by the students, the elect ronics portion of the work being designed by Arden Smith , assisted by Sterling St ewart, and Prof. Richa rd Flowers, h ead of t he speech department. Almost all sound effects are possible with the studio's equipment. A turntable or "sound wagon", complet e. with a supply of r ecords and m echanica l devices, makes possible a broad list of sound effects. The college r adio studio was constructed in a building at the r ear of the administration building, and consists of three rooms. One is t he broadcasting booth, which con tains microphones, sound effects facilities and oth er equipment. Another is a classroom equipped with loud speak ers connected with the broa dcasting booth by an inter communication syst em. Between these two rooms is a glass enclosed and sound insulated control room. Through the n ew facilities of the speech department, an opportunity is presented for students wh o are inter ested in a r adio car eer. Only 78 oth er colleges in the U nited States h ave comparable setups. The studio staff at the college radio station, made up entirely of students includes Jim Moody, coordinator of broadcasting ; J a ck Foxen, production manager; Bob Bollinger, script editor; George Brumbaugh, music director; and Charles Alexander, chief of publicity. Other students are st aff m embers under these chiefs. The sportscast er on the current sports program is Max Rawson. Boots Yarborough is script writer and J ack Foxen, producer. It is planned later to h ave college broa dcasts carried to loud speaker s stationed at various points on the campus- classrooms, dormitories and assembly rooms.

They posted their initial win over the Augustana College freshmen, coming out on the long end of a 12 to 7 battle at Sioux F alls, S. D., several weeks ago. The Morningside frosh scored their first touchdown midway in the second period when they took a short Wayne punt on the Wayne 45-yard line. A 44-yard pass play from Skip Cowan to Tony Levitto set up the first tally. Levitto snagged the ball on the 25 and was run out of bounds on the 1-yard line. Dick Wiek ert, Omaha, went off tackle on the next play to score. Wiekert's p lacekick for the extra point was also good. The Maroons scored again in the third period on a 25-yard reverse play by Levitto. A pass play from halfback Cowan to end J ohn Boice from the 40-yard line again set up the scoring situation. Wiek ert's kick for the extra point was blocked. The first varsity practice session of the 1949-50 basketball season began October 10 with practice drills sch eduled at 3 :30 p . m . each day. Lost from the top eight men of last year's varsity through graduation are regulars Howard Harmon, Henry Langstrat, and Bob Horsfall, and substitute Don Coome. However, the other four, Dick Wiedenfeld, Clayton Bristow, John Wiedenfeld, and Red Norris return, along with Basil Brock and Bob Downing from last season's varsity and Johnnie Williams, who played on the 1947-48 t eam. "These returnees," says Coach Buckingham, "should make a fin e nucleus which, when rounded out with r eturning junior varsity members and transfer students, will form a team that will give a good account of itself." Ox Held, sidelined last year due to a football injury, ·will be back in action. Bob Brock, Forrest McElmurray, Bill Lyle, Harold Adams, Jack Reardon, and Loren Moll from last year's junior varsity and two transfer students from junior colleges, Ray Berry and Doug Gresham, are expect ed to add depth to the squad. The North Central Conference is set up on a round-robin basis this year, playing six games at home and an equal number away. Minnesota University (Duluth Branch ), has been added t o the Maroon schedule. 'T he freshman basketball aspirants have b een working out on their own, a nd "looking good," sa ys Mr. Buckingham. "They h ave height, and some have a lot of ability." The Allee Gymnasium sh ould be r eady for the opening basketball game w ith Wayne State Teachers on November 26. Athletic Director Al Buckingham states that this does not m ean the building will be completely finished by then, h owever. The exact completion date has not been set, but t he floor and surrounding area is exrected t o be r eady for use. Folding bleach er s have been ordered and installation of them will begin around November first. , Plans have been ma de for a bask etball clinic during the day, fo llowed by the Wayne game in the evening . ALUMNI OFFICERS FOR 1949-50 Installed at the annua l business meeting on Saturday, October 8th, in the drawing room of Lillian E . Diimmitt Hall, were the newly elected officers of the A lumni Association. Former Morningsiders returned over 900 ballots from all parts of the United States with several coming from Alaska. Even with members from the class of 1900 through to the '49ers, recently admitted to the Tribe of the Sioux, participating and registering their choice for officers, the final results were in doubt until all ballots had been tabulated. Installed by Simeon Hickman, alumni trustee, were: (left to right) Darrel McEntaffer, '46, executive committee; Ira Gwinn, '22, r e-elected treasurer;, Park Moorhead, '22, alumni t rust ee; Helen Bottom, '33, r e-elected secr et a ry; George Iseminger, '40, president-elect; Hazel Surber Croston, '29, 2nd vice-president ; Wayne Menter, '31, presiden t ; Dorothy Jones Wright, '42, executive committee.

IN MEMORIAM Paul E iffer t P aul (Turk) Eiffert, a graduate of the class of 1917, died on September 28th of a heart attack at his home in Haven township near St. Cloud, Minn. Following his gr aduation from Morningside, where he had a brilliant athletic career, "Turk" played professional baseball for several years aft er which he settled on a farm home near St. Cloud. He was married to Mabel St ark on June 24, 1938 and she, a daugh ter, Faith, aged 9 and a son, Herman, ag ed 6, survive. We print the following t r ibute to Turk wh ich was published in the St. Cloud paper. And Turk Eiffert is Taken Out of the Lineup TooSome will remember h im as an umpire, others as a baseball player or as a conservationist, bird-lover and outdoorsman . . . But many will think of him for his witticisms, his clean, dry humor and his friendliness . . . One of his close friends, Walter Zapp, told me this: "Turk Eiffert was one of the f inest baseball players that ever played in Central Minnesota. His ability as a ball player was only exceeded by his fine character. I hunted with him for a number of years and to him a limit was a limit and shooting hours were shooting hours. How I wish there were more like him" . . . . Paul Eiffert, who died the other day, was known as Turk, and well known . . . As a young man, he was so good that Knute Rockne picked him as halfback on his small college All-American team-when All-American teams meant something .. . He was one of the three men at Morningside in Sioux City, who won four letters in one term-in football, basketball, track and baseball . . . That he was good there is no doubt . . . For six years he played with Class A clubs of the St. Louis Cardinals, and in 1921 he was in the big tent with the Cards . . . Later he went to the Michi- gan-Ontario league-returning here to play, manage and coach with some of the great est semi-pro and pro teams this city ever had prior to its affiliation with the Nort hern league . .. In 1936 he became affilliated with the Central Minnesot a Umpires association, and while operating the home farm with his brother, Dick, he became known for his integrity and ability as an official-being called out for the tough ones in City league softball as well as baseball. He loved the outdoors, and everything in it . . . He wouldn't shoot a doe, he kept records for years on the flight of birds . . . He knew all the plants native to the area . . . He was much interested in conservation of all kinds . . . For the last three years he has been chairman of the Sherburne county AAA program . . . But his humor still is his standout quality, and when people visit the home farm they'll probably continue to get a small chuckle mixed with a tear when they think of him . . . For near the entrance to his home he had t he little insignia: "Turk's Dugout". . . OCTOBER, Page 7 1949 MAROONS NEAR TOP IN CONFERENCE COMPETITION With one loss to South Dakota State and a tie with South Dakota University, Morningside is closely edging Iowa Teachers and North Dakota State in the North Central Conference race. South Dakota State Morningside The Morningside Maroons fell victim to a second half surge and were defeated by the South Dakota State Jackrabbits by a score of 27 to 20 on September 24. The Maroons, riding the crest of a two game winning streak, had previously blasted Buena Vista by a score of 20 to O in a driving rain, and spilled the North Dakota Bison by a score of 12 to O in a thrilling upset victory. The game with State f eatured a battle of offenses all the way, with the Jackrabbits exhibiting a superb slight-of-hand performance off the "T", and the Maroon's displaying a powerful single wing that scored touchdowns on drives of 87 and 94 yards. The longest touchdown thrust of the Dakotans cover ed a distance of 67 yards. Faulty tackling was one of the strongest factors in the defeat of the Maroons as many of the Bunnies' gains came after tacklers had either missed or bounced off. The Maroons secondary stopped many plays throughout the game as the forward wall crumbled befor e the Jackrabbit attack. Maroon defensive stand-outs were Ed Nelson at tackle and Bob Hanson in the line backing spot. Offensively, Connie Callahan and Bruce Pickford were impressive. Morningside - Augustana An underdog Maroon eleven rose to brilliant heights Saturday, October 1, to upset the favored Vikings of Augustana by a score of 26 to 7. The close score of 13 to 7 at the half hardly told a true story, as the Maroon eleven viciously smashed the Vikings for long marches. Morningside outdowned the Vikings for the first half by a 9 to 3 margin, while rolling up approximately 180 yards by rushing to about 60 yards for the Augustana eleven. The game was rough and bitterly fought by the two teams, with an Augustana back being ejected for committing a personal foul of the two-fisted variety. The scoring stepped up in the fourth quarter as the Augie eleven crumbled under the crushing play of the Maroon attack. Scoring for the Maroons were Callahan, who accounted for two, and Jack Reardon and Wall y Piper with one touchdown ea ch. The second quarter furnished plenty of spectator excitement, as Callahan booted a 73-yard quick kick and the Vikings completed a pass play of 46 yards, setting up their only touchdown. The Maroons presented a strong defensive forward wall and a good pass defense, while the Vikings were outplayed throughout the game. Maroon Backs--Pickford, Hanson, Jones, Callahan--With Morningside - North Dakota State Sioux City Public Sch ool St a dium was the scene of mayhem two consecutive week s as a tough Maroon eleven threw two highly rated outfits for 39 to 20 and 34 t o 7 losses. The first of the t wo victories was at the expen se of a pon der ous North Dakot a State t eam which was battered unmer cifull y by the vicious att ack of t he Morningsiders. The Mar oon s h eld a convincing statistica l edge in all departments of play a s they outdowned the Bison 18 t o 9. NDS simply could n ot move against the Morningsiders' fas t-charging line, while t h e Maroon back s were having a fi eld day , picking up yardage at will. All of the Bison scoring occured during the fin al period, as they t allied for t hree touchd owns and seven of nine first downs. Morningside - Con cordia On Thursday, Oct ober 13, was staged a battle of two of t h e slick est offen ses seen in a long while at the st a dium. The Maroons were host t o a highly rat ed Concordia eleven in a Dad's night contest. The father s could have been nothing but pleased as their sons dum ped t h e slightly favored Minnesotans to the t une of 34 t o 7. Both outfits displayed smooth offen sive play, with the Morningsider s putt ing up the more p ow erful defen se. The Maroon s wer e again on the long end of st atistical count, outdowning the Cobbers 19 t o 11. This game featured two am azing goal line st ands, one by each t eam, but the Mar oon s again h ad the stuff t o beat down a ll resistance and emer ge on t op. a "Will to Win" Morningside - South Dakota Univei·sity Fighting a defen sive bat t le most of t h e w ay la st Saturday, Oct ober 22, the Maroon s just managed t o pull even with a Coyote t eam tha t was up for it s Dak ot a Day perf orm ance and cam e away with a 6-all t ie. The Coyot es drew fir st blood as th ey p ounded over fo r their only t ouchdown in the latter stages of the first quarter. On the en suing kick off Connie Call ah an pulled in the ball and from behind his own goal line power ed his way beyond the mid-f ield strip, then suddenly veer ed to the sidelines a nd out- raced the last desper at e defenders. t o the goal line. It was a daz zling run ba ck of over 100 yar ds and probably was the play that bolst ered t h e Maroon spirit to stave off t h e numer ou s Dak ota advances that foll owed. The Mar oons missed t wo oth er game winning chances wh en a to o rushed field goal att empt failed as fi rst h alf seconds were r unning out, and wh en a thir d quarter pass fr om Callah an slipped out of Pickford's h and s aft er .a desperate off-balan ce attempt.

Hartman, Admission's Director, reports that the chances for exceeding last year's new student enrollment are exceedingly encouraging. As the Morningsider goes to press, last year's figure has already been reached. The Women's Residence Hall is nearing capacity occupancy with reservations coming in every day from out-of-town girls. Many returning veterans are seen around the halls making arrangements to return to school this year. The week of "New Student Days" will start the 1945-46 schedule September 17 with classes beginning on Thursday, September 20th.

More than a thousand families of Morningsiders are rejoicing that no more will their sons have to pilot the planes of death or navigate the underseas submarines, and no more will the beachheads of Tarawa, Saipan, or Okinawa engulf our beloved. The war is over, and a new chance is given to the world to outlaw and abandon the sins of the past whch have produced war The war is over, and new opportunities are everywhere available for every citizen of democracy to achieve the purposes of democratic living which through free speech, free press, and the free ballot, may give peace to the world. Morningside College is already welcoming returning veterans for. the reeducation which colleges recognize must be inaugurated. Four new faculty members holding doctor of philosophy degrees have been added. These include Dr. Loren T. Jones in the field of chemistry, Dr. A. P. Becker in the field of economics, Dr. Peter A. Bannon in the field of English, and Dr. C. R. Garland in the field of music. Professor John Magee in the field of philosophy and psychology will complete his work for the doctor's degree in another year. These new faces in addition to the faculty whom Morningsiders have come to know so well will launch the second half century of Morningside history. It is too early to report the number of veterans who will be enrolled. There were sixteen (including two Waves) during the past summer semester. The money has been pledged for a new science building, which will be built within a year if present plans can be realized And thus Morningside College is moving toward the sunrise position which she holds in Sioux City and from which she derives her name. -Pres. Earl A. Roadman. Fashion Note At the T. S. Martin Co. annual style show in August, Ellen Westergaard, '45, of Whiting, Iowa, was quite the sensation of the afternoon. Ellen was featured as Mademoiselle cover girl, wearing the red, white, and blue of the August issue and a sleek new hairdress with a part down the middle of the back and rolls, turned forward over both ears. Testing and Advisement Center Morningside College has been selected by the Veterans Bureau as one of the four schools in Iowa to serve as a Testing and Advisement Center for Veterans who are seeking training under the provisions of the Veterans Rehabilitation or of the "G. I." bill. The space on the first floor of the Main Hall formerly housing the Department of English has been reconditioned to provide a reception office, consultation and testing rooms. Mr. Homer Smothers, '26, and Mr. Harry Billiards, '23, have been selected by Mr. J. C. Johnson, Chief of Veterans Rehabilitation and Education in Iowa, to man the office. Mr. Smothers as consultant advisor will devote his full time to office work, Mr. Billiard will serve under Mr. Smothers as trainer. His duties will be principally field work among the men who are being trained at the various agencies cooperating with the Veterans Bureau in Northwest Iowa. A receptionist-clerk will complete the government staff. Mr. John Magee has been selected by President Earl A. Roadman to work for the college as a psychometrist for the Bureau. Mr. Magee will be assisted by two students as part time clerks. The office is being put in operation on September 10. The testing and advisement of veterans from approximately one-fifth of the state of Iowa will be done at this office. All veterans who have been discharged under disability who seek training to re-establish themselves in remunerative employment commonly known as Public Law No. 16 and those men who ask for training under Public Law No. 346 may ask for and receive testing and advisement as to the educational goal to be selected. Under this program tests are arranged for vocational interest. Mental and physical aptitude tests are given for the various trades and professions. Standardized tests are used. Advisement is made on the basis of these tests as to the type of training indicated and arrangement made with the cooperating training agency. Training may include college training at a general or professional level, business college, trade school, or training on the job. A careful supervision of the trainees by the training officer attempts to insure satisfactory progress. Veterans seeking educational benefits should first contact their local information office of the Veterans Bureau and there secure a Form 1950. This form together with an official copy of the service record is then sent to the Des Moines office. Here an official notice is prepared covering the training period available. This certificate of eligibility is then presented to the school or institution in which the individual plans to work. Those who are discharged under disability may be given a complete training for the profession indicated regardless of length of service. Those who wish training under the G. I. bill and who are less than twenty-six years of age and who have been in the service for a period of ninety days are given a year of training with additional time equal to the length of time of service provided the grade record is satisfactory. During the past year sixteen individuals were being trained at Morningside, divided among the various professional and preprofessional curricula: Pre-Engineering, Pre-Law, Teaching, Business, Secretarial training and Music. Summer Music Camp A full quota of music students from Iowa, Nebraska, South Dakota, and Minnesota, enrolled for the 17th season of the Lake Okoboji Summer Music Camp, on West Okoboji Lake, Iowa. Three weeks previous to the opening date a small cyclone visited the Camp Grounds, resulting in considerable damage to some of the buildings. Prof. Paul MacCollin, director of the camp, hastily assembled a crew of carpenters, plumbers, and helpers, who succeeded in putting everything back in order by the time students arrived. The Choral work done at the Camp was, as usual, under the direction ·of Prof. MacCollin; the Orchestra had a new Director this year, Mr. Bernard Nevin, of Lincoln, Nebr. That Mr. Nevin made a tremendous hit with the students was in evidence at every rehearsal ; enthusiastic response, and admiration for his skill and knowledge was a favorite topic of conversation. The highlights of the season's musical activities were the concerts given at the young peoples conference (Camp Methoji) and the Bible Conference. These concerts were reported as having reached an all time high in the history of the Camp. An unusually large number of piano students were enrolled this year, taxing the practice facilities to the limit, and keeping the piano faculty, headed by Prof. James Reistrup with Mrs. Ethel Kucinski, extremely busy. Mr. MacCollin was assisted in the choral classes by Mrs. Elizabeth MacCollin. Among the advanced students in attendance were Mrs. J. T. Brynteson nee Vernice Green, '34, Miss Ione Lease, '26, Miss Gladys Gary, ex '41, who assisted Mr. Nevin in the violin department, Mr. Durwood Griffin, '35, who taught woodwind and brass, and Miss Gertrude Bale, '37, who was house mother of the girls' dormitory. The Okoboji Summer Music Camp is affiliated with Morningside College. It has become increasingly popular through the years and is well known throughout the country as a proving ground for young musicians.

S. Navy, is stationed in Washington, D. C. His address is P. 0. Box 2601, Washington 13, D. C. Mr. Harvey Willson, former business manager at Morningside, has been appointed Director of the Government Center at Denver University School of Commerce. He has been head of the accounting department at the school since January 1. He is working on a college introductory accounting textbook to be published after careful testing of it in the classroom. Miss Marjorie Arkw right, former dietician, sailed July 7 from San Francisco to Honolulu where she will be director of food service at Punahou School in Honolulu. Miss Betty Jameson, former assistant dietician to Miss Arkwright, was married August 2 to Cpl. Paul Brown at Ann Arbor, Mich. Miss Minetta Miller, '40, of Denver, wrote that she had collaborated with Mr. Goodwin of her office in writing a booklet which won first prize in the national Public Utilities Advertising contest. They are now to write one about their Louisiana property. The naval air station at Ottumwa has announced the award of the silver star medal to Lt. (j. g.) John G. Felton former speech instructor, who is now stationed there since his return from service in the South Pacific. Lt. Felton received the award for action aboard the carrier Franklin. Major and Mrs. Bernie Scherer have a 10-lb son, Bernard James, Jr., born September 4, in Ft. Benning, Ga. Former coach at Morningside, Major Scherer is stationed at Ft. Benning as an instructor in the Officers Candidate Reserve Unit. Missing in Action Capt. Odell W,oods, ex '42, pilot of a B-29 bomber, and son of Mr. and Mrs. John Woods of Onawa, has been reporter missing since June 10 when his plane went down over Tokyo bay. Al.though the bomber encountered enemy opposition going into Tokyo, it continued on its way until its bombs had been dropped over the city. However, the plane was too badly damaged to reach its base on Guam, and 9 parachutes were seen descending over the bay. Two of these fliers are known to have been rescued. Capt. Woods, remembered as the clever drum major of the band while in college, was an instructor in Basic Training at Perrin Field, Tex as, and it was while he was stationed there that he married Dixie Ashburn, in November, 1943. He took pilot's training for a B-17 at Roswell, N. M., and later went to Pyote, Texas, for his training as pilot on a B-29. When he left the States on April 15, his crew flew directly to Guam, from which base it carried out its missions against Tokyo. CELEBRATE GOLDEN WEDDING Sunday, September 9, was the 50th wedding anniversary of Mr. and Mrs. H. J. Raun, 3830 Garretson Ave,, who have resided in Morningside since 1920. The celebration of their golden wedding began with a family dinner in the home of their son, Ernest, 2125 McDonald. Open house was held for friends and relatives from 3 to 6 o'clock in Grace Methodist church parlors. Over 200 friends signed the guest book. The three sons of' Mr. and Mrs. Raun, all graduates of Morningside, together with their families, who were able to be present for this happy occasion, included: Mr. Harold, (Hap) , ('20), and Mrs. Raun (Beatrice Spangler, ex '23) and children from Storm Lake, with the exception of their oldest son, Alan, who is in the army ; Mr., ('23), and Mrs. Ernest Raun and family of Sioux City, and Mr., ('31), and Mrs. Eldred Raun and family of Bayonne, N. Y. "Doc," as Mr. Raun is affectionately called by all his friends on the campus where he is custodian of the college buildings and grounds, is a familiar figure as he strides busily from one task to another, with the ever present ring of keys jangling on a chain. "Doc", a trouble shooter de luxe, is never too busy to. help anyone, student or professor, out of a dilemma. Troubles just naturally vanish when he comes to the rescue. "Doc" never forgets a former student or fails to greet his returning friends with a welcoming handclasp whenever they chance to meet. You say, " No one is indispensable?" I say "Doc" is! Morningsiders Released From Prison Camps At the present time all Morningsiders who were prisoners of war have been reported freed from Nazi prisons. These men include : Lt. Robert L. Frakes, ex '44; F/O Vernon E. Billman, ex '46 ; Sgt. Devon W. Hahn, '30; Lt. Robert W. Hakala, '40; Lt. Robert E. Jackson, ex '43 ; and Thomas J. McHale, ex '25. Of the four Morningsiders in Jap prison camps, two have recently been released. Rev. C. N. McMillan, Methodist minister at Primghar, has just been notified that his son, Pfc. Paul McMillan, ex '38, was freed on September 9 from a Jap prison camp and is on his way home. Inducted into the army in August, 1941, Paul sailed for Manila November 15. He was captured with the U. S. forces on Bataan, May 7, 1943, and transferred to the Isaki, Japan, prison camp in November of that year. Brig. Gen. Lewis C. Beebe, ex. '14, chief -of-staff to General Wainwright, who was captured and imprisoned with the general on Formosa when Corregidor fell is back home after more than three years in a Jap prison camp. Accompanying General Wainwright as witnesses of the Jap capitulation in Tokyo were the four members of his staff who had been his fellow prisoners. The general and his staff were accorded a hero's welcome in San Francisco, Washington, D. C., and New York City. But perhaps the royal welcome given Brig. Gen. Beebe by his "old home town" of Faribault, Minn., was the most appreciated of all. 'T he general arrived home in time to accept deliver y of a card he had written to Mrs. Beebe nearly a year ago, and to receive the distinguished service medal which had been presented to her in his behalf in November, 1942. No news has been received as yet of Lt. Wm. D. Rose, '36, a member of the army medical corps, imprisoned outside Tokyo, or of Cpl. Laurie J. Gillespie, ex '44, an engineer in the air corps, and a prisoner since Pearl Harbor. Six Morningsiders are still missing in action, and 34 have paid for our victory with their lives. �Page 4 SEPTEMBER, 1945 Summer School Commencement At Commencement exercises for 15 graduates Friday evening, August 24, at the Morningside Presbyterian Church, Professor Ira Gwinn, '22, addressed the class on "The Meaning of a Liberal Education". Among the items he stressed were a knowledge of the writings of great men, the ability to think clearly, a knowledge of social sciences and determination that selfishness, falsehood and greed must not run rampant to expand the ego of nations . . . . "The most powerful things in the world are ideas. They cannot be stopped by oppression, domination and force. The solution of situations leading to war requires the combined thinking of many minds, not the death of 10,000,000 men, and the determination that thinking shall and must be done . . . . I would have you accept as the meaning of a liberal education the future of society and the advance of human progress, its underlying girder being the fatherhood of God and the brotherhood of man." Of the graduates six received A. B. degrees and nine B. S. degrees. Verne Jacobs and Warren Moore, both apprentice seamen in the V-12 medical program, and F/O Clarence Voris received their debrees in absentia. Four were awarded two-year elementary teacher certificates. Twenty-one nurses from the Methodist and the Lutheran hospitals received certificates in basic science and 24 teachers received 12-week normal certificates. Wee Morningsiders Cpl.

Sioux City, Iowa Correction of Mailing Address Because of the fact that service men everywhere are on the move, either coming or going, or being discharged, addresses at this time are temporary to the nth degree. The Morningsider is withholding publication of the usual list of service addresses until next month when it is hoped that many men will be more permanently located. If you address is changed, do correct it in the service blank and mail immediately to the Alumni Office so that the Morningsider and alumni letters may reach you more promptly and easily. Class Notes Two Morningside graduates, Mariellen Rifenbark and Carol Hedeen, both '43, have joined the ranks of servicewomen as members of the American Red Cross. They have gone to the West Coast for overseas assignment. Dorothy Ann Olson, '40, has departed for Ithaca, N. Y., where she has accepted the position of social director at Cornell University. For the last two years Dorothy Ann has been director of the student union at the University of Texas at Austin. Dr. Joseph Naryka, '39, is an intern at the Edmundson Memorial Hospital in Council Bluffs, Iowa. (Class Notes Held Over Until October) �SEPTEMBER, 1945 Page 5 Former Maroons Comprise Coaching Staff With the addition of Mark McLarnan as the new football coach at Central High School, all public high schools in Sioux City are coached by Morningside men. Besides Mark at Central there is Les Davis, the genial mentor at East and Lowell Crippen at the up-and-coming suburban school of Leeds. Les Davis is the veteran of the Morningside men coaching in Sioux City. Les played a lot of fine football for the Maroons and for "Saundy" from 1920 through 1923, being an all-conference halfback his senior year. He was also a star catcher of the baseball team those same years. Graduating in 1924 Les coached at Webster City before coming to Sioux City East in 1927. His record at East has been outstanding. Besides coaching all sports at various times, Les is the athletic director, and during his time at East he is believed to be the only coach in Iowa that has won state championships in all three major sports, football, basketball and track. The 1945 East track team was state champion. At the present time Les is coaching the football and track teams at the Morning side high school. Lowell Crippen, '30, has been at Leeds for three years and in that time has brought that school along at a rapid pace athletically. From small schedules, Leeds now plays East, Central, LeMars, and Vermillion, and from the results of their games they are doing very well in this faster company. At Morningside "Crip" was an excellent quarterback on "Saundy's" football teams and was an all-conference guard on the Maroon basketball squad. Since graduation "Crip" has coached at Moville, Mapleton and Harlan before coming to Leeds. Mark McLarnan, the newest addition to the Sioux City coaching ranks, finished Morningside in 1931, after playing three years of football for "Saundy" and being chosen an all-conference end his senior year. Following graduation Mark coached at Orange City, Jefferson, Red Oak and Clinton before coming to Sioux City Central. At Central, Mark is following Lloyd Martin who was the coach at that school for 27 years. Mark has always had fine teams at the schools he coached and should continue to enjoy success at the Sioux City school. All three of these high school coach es were Phi Sigma fraternity brother s when in college. Previous to his induction into the army another ex-Maroon athlete coached in Sioux City. "Honie" Rogers, one of Morningside's athletic "greats" , coached basketball at his alma mat er. Honie's record at Morningside was the best of any basketball coach in the tough North Central conference during the time he coached that sport. "Honie" is expected to be released from the army at an early date. In the 31 years that J. M. "Saundy" Saunderson was the head of Morningside athletics he developed many men that have been very successful in the coaching field. The fact that all the Sioux City schools have Morningside men controlling their athletic programs at the present time certainly speak s very highly of Morningside, of "Saundy" and of the men that "Saundy" has developed. It is hoped that Morningside soon again will have the same fine athletic program that they used to enjoy and that new men and new coaches will again emerge from the Maroon institution to take their places among the many excellent coaches already in the field. Deaths Miss Grace Bagley, '23, who taught English at Central High Schoool in Sioux City for the past 18 years, died August 19 at the home of her sister, Mrs. Esther McDowell, after a two weeks' illness. Survivors are two sisters, Mrs. McDowell, and First Lt. June M. Bagley, ex '30, stationed at O'Reill y General Hospital, Springfield, Mo. Mrs. LeRoy Keckler, ex '10, died this summer at a hospital in Sioux City after a long heart illness. Rev. Mr. Keckler , a former Morningside student and Methodist minister in Nebraska, died in 1932. Survivors are a daughter, Leona (Mr s. W. D.Crabb, '40), and a grandson. As Morningsiders Gave Thanks As a fitting observance of V-J Day, a very interesting and profitable conference on the responsibilities of the victory was held in the College Chapel. The platform panel group consisted of President Roadman presiding, Drs. Graber, Hawthorne, and Tweito, and Professor Gwinn of the faculty, Mr. Charles Ferris and Mrs. Charles Dirr of the student body, Dr. W. R. Moore, and Major David Loepp, '11, from the community. The only distinction line between the panel group and the faculty, student and community friends group was the platform. Outstanding contributions were made by a number from the audience. Suggested questions which need to be answered in connection with American responsibility included: What is to be done to assure the returning soldier adequate employment? What does the atomic bomb mean for victory and for peace? What likelihood obtains concerning universal conscription for military training in America? What provision can be made for Japan's surplus population? Major David Loepp, former mayor of Sioux City, presented a splendid address upon the subject of his experiences in the Allied Military Government in Italy. Dr. Graber gave an illuminating description of the atomic bomb, with a conclusion agreeing with Dr. Becker that the possession of new and overwhelming military power is not a guarantee against war. �Page 6 SEPTEMBER, 1945 Service Notes Lt. Col. Walter L. Hurd, Jr., '40, has been commended for his part in the landings in the Scandinavian countries several days before official announcement of the end of the European war. His congratulations stated that his group of unarmed, unescorted craft flew repeatedly over hundreds of miles of the North Sea to disgorge Tommies who quickly stamped out all signs of resistance from the dazed nazi forces. The troops were followed up by a stream of supplies carried from England by Maj. Hurd's 349th troop carrier group of which he is operations officer. Lt. Col. Hurd is the Operations Officer of a group flying the giant transport airplanes of the 9th Troop Carrier Command. "A Trip to Malta" was the topic of a talk by Lowell C. Kindig at a meeting of the American Interprofessional institute at the Martin Hotel. Lowell recently returned to civilian life after more than three years in the navy. The trip he described in his talk took place in 1942 when he was in command of the gun crew on a merchant ship. Lt. (j. g.) Elwood H. Olsen, '38, veteran of 17 months service as a fighter director officer aboard a "baby flattop", is returning home on leave. Of the many Jap suicide planes to dive on formations with which his carrier was operating one crashed into the sea within 100 feet of the ship. Terrific gunfire was all that diverted the flaming Jap, Lt. Olsen asserted. Elwood was with the department of Justice in Washington, D. C., when he entered the service. Mrs. Olsen is the former Grace Taylor, '38, who lives in Sheldon with the Olsen's son, Ty, 3. 2nd Lt. Edmond J. Anderson, ex '41, was among the first Americans to enter Vienna as a member of General Mark W. Clark's United States Forces in Austria. Lt. Anderson, holder of the Legion of Merit, was commissioned in Florence, Italy, last April. In a letter to Dr. Roadman, Lt. Nick Carroll, '38, of the 146th AACS Sqd., Det. 30, writes that he is now on Majuro Island after seeing duty on Kwajalein and Tarawa. "Majuro", Nick states "escaped the fighting and large scale bombing , so is a much pleasanter place to live." He expresses hope that this school year will mark the beginning of a larger Morningside, but not greater, because it always has been great. Nick's latest motto is "Back to the sticks in '46." S. Sgt. Larry W. Curtis, ex '42, is currently assigned to the A. A.. F. redistribution station at the Santa Ana, Cal., air base after serving the last 10 months as a B-17 gunner with the Eighth Air Force. He has 30 combat missions to his credit. Capt. H. Milo Hall, '31, army chaplain; came this summer from Ft. Story, Va., for a short visit with his wife and family in the Virginia Apt. Another guest of the Halls was Sgt. Harold G. Anstrom, recently returned from England, who was spending a 30-day furlough with his wife, the former Ardis Hall, ex '42. 1st Lt. Richard A. Lechner, ex '46, is assigned to the redistribution station at Santa Ana army air base. He is a B-17 pilot in the Eighth Air Force with 32 combat missions to his credit. 2nd Lt. Ted Welton, ex '41, received his commission after his graduation from the officer candidate school at Carlisle Barracks, Pa. He was among a large group of enlisted men of the medical department who won their commissions in the medical administrative corps on the basis of merit and outstanding performance of duty. Lt. (j. g.) Gordon L. Taft, ex '43, who has served continuously on the submarine, U. S. Hammerhead, is spending a 30-day leave with his parents in Sioux City. The submarine entered San Francisco Bay recently, flying from its conning tower 10 Japanese flags, representing the four Jap warships and 15 Nip merchant ships sunk by its torpedoes. Pfc. Dale L. Wright, ex '46, is en-route home from Europe as one of a group of Eighth Armored Division men transferred into the "Santa Fe" division. Ensign Homer E.

Dr. Roadman, as I recall, is very much interested in Chinese colleges, and I've been able to visit two or three.

Testing and Advisement Center Morningside College has been selected by the Veterans Bureau as one of the four schools in Iowa to serve as a Testing and Advisement Center for Veterans who are seeking training under the provisions of the Veterans Rehabilitation or of the "G. I." bill. The space on the first floor of the Main Hall formerly housing the Department of English has been reconditioned to provide a reception office, consultation and testing rooms. Mr. Homer Smothers, '26, and Mr. Harry Billiards, '23, have been selected by Mr. J. C. Johnson, Chief of Veterans Rehabilitation and Education in Iowa, to man the office. Mr. Smothers as consultant advisor will devote his full time to office work, Mr. Billiard will serve under Mr. Smothers as trainer. His duties will be principally field work among the men who are being trained at the various agencies cooperating with the Veterans Bureau in Northwest Iowa. A receptionist-clerk will complete the government staff. Mr. John Magee has been selected by President Earl A. Roadman to work for the college as a psychometrist for the Bureau. Mr. Magee will be assisted by two students as part time clerks. The office is being put in operation on September 10. The testing and advisement of veterans from approximately one-fifth of the state of Iowa will be done at this office. All veterans who have been discharged under disability who seek training to re-establish themselves in remunerative employment commonly known as Public Law No. 16 and those men who ask for training under Public Law No. 346 may ask for and receive testing and advisement as to the educational goal to be selected. Under this program tests are arranged for vocational interest. Mental and physical aptitude tests are given for the various trades and professions. Standardized tests are used. Advisement is made on the basis of these tests as to the type of training indicated and arrangement made with the cooperating training agency. Training may include college training at a general or professional level, business college, trade school, or training on the job. A careful supervision of the trainees by the training officer attempts to insure satisfactory progress. Veterans seeking educational benefits should first contact their local information office of the Veterans Bureau and there secure a Form 1950. This form together with an official copy of the service record is then sent to the Des Moines office. Here an official notice is prepared covering the training period available. This certificate of eligibility is then presented to the school or institution in which the individual plans to work. Those who are discharged under disability may be given a complete training for the profession indicated regardless of length of service. Those who wish training under the G. I. bill and who are less than twenty-six years of age and who have been in the service for a period of ninety days are given a year of training with additional time equal to the length of time of service provided the grade record is satisfactory. During the past year sixteen individuals were being trained at Morningside, divided among the various professional and preprofessional curricula: Pre-Engineering, Pre-Law, Teaching, Business, Secretarial training and Music. Summer Music Camp A full quota of music students from Iowa, Nebraska, South Dakota, and Minnesota, enrolled for the 17th season of the Lake Okoboji Summer Music Camp, on West Okoboji Lake, Iowa. Three weeks previous to the opening date a small cyclone visited the Camp Grounds, resulting in considerable damage to some of the buildings. Prof. Paul MacCollin, director of the camp, hastily assembled a crew of carpenters, plumbers, and helpers, who succeeded in putting everything back in order by the time students arrived. The Choral work done at the Camp was, as usual, under the direction ·of Prof. MacCollin; the Orchestra had a new Director this year, Mr. Bernard Nevin, of Lincoln, Nebr. That Mr. Nevin made a tremendous hit with the students was in evidence at every rehearsal ; enthusiastic response, and admiration for his skill and knowledge was a favorite topic of conversation. The highlights of the season's musical activities were the concerts given at the young peoples conference (Camp Methoji) and the Bible Conference. These concerts were reported as having reached an all time high in the history of the Camp. An unusuall y large number of piano students were enrolled this year, taxing the practice facilities to the limit, and keeping the piano faculty, headed by Prof. James Reistrup with Mrs. Ethel Kucinski, extremely busy. Mr. MacCollin was assisted in the choral classes by Mrs. Elizabeth MacCollin. Among the advanced students in attendance were Mrs. J. T.

Odell W,oods, ex '42, pilot of a B-29 bomber, and son of Mr. and Mrs. John Woods of Onawa, has been reporter missing since June 10 when his plane went down over Tokyo bay. Al.though the bomber encountered enemy opposition going into Tokyo, it continued on its way until its bombs had been dropped over the city. However, the plane was too badly damaged to reach its base on Guam, and 9 parachutes were seen descending over the bay. Two of these fliers are known to have been rescued. Capt. Woods, remembered as the clever drum major of the band while in college, was an instructor in Basic Training at Perrin Field, Tex as, and it was while he was stationed there that he married Dixie Ashburn, in November, 1943. He took pilot's training for a B-17 at Roswell, N. M., and later went to Pyote, Texas, for his training as pilot on a B-29. When he left the States on April 15, his crew flew directly to Guam, from which base it carried out its missions against Tokyo. CELEBRATE GOLDEN WEDDING Sunday, September 9, was the 50th wedding anniversary of Mr. and Mrs. H. J. Raun, 3830 Garretson Ave,, who have resided in Morningside since 1920. The celebration of their golden wedding began with a family dinner in the home of their son, Ernest, 2125 McDonald. Open house was held for friends and relatives from 3 to 6 o'clock in Grace Methodist church parlors. Over 200 friends signed the guest book. The three sons of' Mr. and Mrs. Raun, all graduates of Morningside, together with their families, who were able to be present for this happy occasion, included: Mr. Harold, (Hap) , ('20), and Mrs. Raun (Beatrice Spangler, ex '23) and children from Storm Lake, with the exception of their oldest son, Alan, who is in the army ; Mr., ('23), and Mrs. Ernest Raun and family of Sioux City, and Mr., ('31), and Mrs. Eldred Raun and family of Bayonne, N. Y. "Doc," as Mr. Raun is affectionately called by all his friends on the campus where he is custodian of the college buildings and grounds, is a familiar figure as he strides busily from one task to another, with the ever present ring of keys jangling on a chain. "Doc", a trouble shooter de luxe, is never too busy to. help anyone, student or professor, out of a dilemma. Troubles just naturally vanish when he comes to the rescue. "Doc" never forgets a former student or fails to greet his returning friends with a welcoming handclasp whenever they chance to meet. You say, " No one is indispensable?" I say "Doc" is! Morningsiders Released From Prison Camps At the present time all Morningsiders who were prisoners of war have been reported freed from Nazi prisons. These men include : Lt. Robert L. Frakes, ex '44; F/O Vernon E. Billman, ex '46 ; Sgt. Devon W. Hahn, '30; Lt. Robert W. Hakala, '40; Lt. Robert E. Jackson, ex '43 ; and Thomas J. McHale, ex '25. Of the four Morningsiders in Jap prison camps, two have recently been released. Rev. C. N. McMillan, Methodist minister at Primghar, has just been notified that his son, Pfc. Paul McMillan, ex '38, was freed on September 9 from a Jap prison camp and is on his way home. Inducted into the army in August, 1941, Paul sailed for Manila November 15. He was captured with the U. S. forces on Bataan, May 7, 1943, and transferred to the Isaki, Japan, prison camp in November of that year. Brig. Gen. Lewis C. Beebe, ex. '14, chief -of-staff to General Wainwright, who was captured and imprisoned with the general on Formosa when Corregidor fell is back home after more than three years in a Jap prison camp. Accompanying General Wainwright as witnesses of the Jap capitulation in Tokyo were the four members of his staff who had been his fellow prisoners. The general and his staff were accorded a hero's welcome in San Francisco, Washington, D. C., and New York City. But perhaps the royal welcome given Brig. Gen. Beebe by his "old home town" of Faribault, Minn., was the most appreciated of all. 'T he general arrived home in time to accept deliver y of a card he had written to Mrs. Beebe nearly a year ago, and to receive the distinguished service medal which had been presented to her in his behalf in November, 1942. No news has been received as yet of Lt. Wm. D. Rose, '36, a member of the army medical corps, imprisoned outside Tokyo, or of Cpl. Laurie J. Gillespie, ex '44, an engineer in the air corps, and a prisoner since Pearl Harbor. Six Morningsiders are still missing in action, and 34 have paid for our victory with their lives. Page 4 SEPTEMBER, 1945 Summer School Commencement At Commencement exercises for 15 graduates Friday evening, August 24, at the Morningside Presbyterian Church, Professor Ira Gwinn, '22, addressed the class on "The Meaning of a Liberal Education". Among the items he stressed were a knowledge of the writings of great men, the ability to think clearly, a knowledge of social sciences and determination that selfishness, falsehood and greed must not run rampant to expand the ego of nations . . . . "The most powerful things in the world are ideas. They cannot be stopped by oppression, domination and force. The solution of situations leading to war requires the combined thinking of many minds, not the death of 10,000,000 men, and the determination that thinking shall and must be done . . . . I would have you accept as the meaning of a liberal education the future of society and the advance of human progress, its underlying girder being the fatherhood of God and the brotherhood of man." Of the graduates six received A. B. degrees and nine B. S. degrees. Verne Jacobs and Warren Moore, both apprentice seamen in the V-12 medical program, and F/O Clarence Voris received their debrees in absentia. Four were awarded two-year elementary teacher certificates. Twenty-one nurses from the Methodist and the Lutheran hospitals received certificates in basic science and 24 teachers received 12-week normal certificates. Wee Morningsiders Cpl.

Sioux City, Iowa Correction of Mailing Address Because of the fact that service men everywhere are on the move, either coming or going, or being discharged, addresses at this time are temporary to the nth degree. The Morningsider is withholding publication of the usual list of service addresses until next month when it is hoped that many men will be more permanently located. If you address is changed, do correct it in the service blank and mail immediately to the Alumni Office so that the Morningsider and alumni letters may reach you more promptly and easily. Class Notes Two Morningside graduates, Mariellen Rifenbark and Carol Hedeen, both '43, have joined the ranks of servicewomen as members of the American Red Cross. They have gone to the West Coast for overseas assignment. Dorothy Ann Olson, '40, has departed for Ithaca, N. Y., where she has accepted the position of social director at Cornell University. For the last two years Dorothy Ann has been director of the student union at the University of Texas at Austin. Dr. Joseph Naryka, '39, is an intern at the Edmundson Memorial Hospital in Council Bluffs, Iowa. (Class Notes Held Over Until October) SEPTEMBER, 1945 Page 5 Former Maroons Comprise Coaching Staff With the addition of Mark McLarnan as the new football coach at Central High School, all public high schools in Sioux City are coached by Morningside men. Besides Mark at Central there is Les Davis, the genial mentor at East and Lowell Crippen at the up-and-coming suburban school of Leeds. Les Davis is the veteran of the Morningside men coaching in Sioux City. Les played a lot of fine football for the Maroons and for "Saundy" from 1920 through 1923, being an all-conference halfback his senior year. He was also a star catcher of the baseball team those same years. Graduating in 1924 Les coached at Webster City before coming to Sioux City East in 1927. His record at East has been outstanding. Besides coaching all sports at various times, Les is the athletic director, and during his time at East he is believed to be the only coach in Iowa that has won state championships in all three major sports, football, basketball and track. The 1945 East track team was state champion. At the present time Les is coaching the football and track teams at the Morning side high school. Lowell Crippen, '30, has been at Leeds for three years and in that time has brought that school along at a rapid pace athletically. From small schedules, Leeds now plays East, Central, LeMars, and Vermillion, and from the results of their games they are doing very well in this faster company. At Morningside "Crip" was an excellent quarterback on "Saundy's" football teams and was an all-conference guard on the Maroon basketball squad. Since graduation "Crip" has coached at Moville, Mapleton and Harlan before coming to Leeds. Mark McLarnan, the newest addition to the Sioux City coaching ranks, finished Morningside in 1931, after playing three years of football for "Saundy" and being chosen an all-conference end his senior year. Following graduation Mark coached at Orange City, Jefferson, Red Oak and Clinton before coming to Sioux City Central. At Central, Mark is following Lloyd Martin who was the coach at that school for 27 years. Mark has always had fine teams at the schools he coached and should continue to enjoy success at the Sioux City school. All three of these high school coach es were Phi Sigma fraternity brother s when in college. Previous to his induction into the army another ex-Maroon athlete coached in Sioux City. "Honie" Rogers, one of Morningside's athletic "greats" , coached basketball at his alma mat er. Honie's record at Morningside was the best of any basketball coach in the tough North Central conference during the time he coached that sport. "Honie" is expected to be released from the army at an early date. In the 31 years that J. M. "Saundy" Saunderson was the head of Morningside athletics he developed many men that have been very successful in the coaching field. The fact that all the Sioux City schools have Morningside men controlling their athletic programs at the present time certainly speak s very highly of Morningside, of "Saundy" and of the men that "Saundy" has developed. It is hoped that Morningside soon again will have the same fine athletic program that they used to enjoy and that new men and new coaches will again emerge from the Maroon institution to take their places among the many excellent coaches already in the field. Deaths Miss Grace Bagley, '23, who taught English at Central High Schoool in Sioux City for the past 18 years, died August 19 at the home of her sister, Mrs. Esther McDowell, after a two weeks' illness. Survivors are two sisters, Mrs. McDowell, and First Lt. June M. Bagley, ex '30, stationed at O'Reill y General Hospital, Springfield, Mo. Mrs. LeRoy Keckler, ex '10, died this summer at a hospital in Sioux City after a long heart illness. Rev. Mr. Keckler , a former Morningside student and Methodist minister in Nebraska, died in 1932. Survivors are a daughter, Leona (Mr s. W. D.Crabb, '40), and a grandson. As Morningsiders Gave Thanks As a fitting observance of V-J Day, a very interesting and profitable conference on the responsibilities of the victory was held in the College Chapel. The platform panel group consisted of President Roadman presiding, Drs. Graber, Hawthorne, and Tweito, and Professor Gwinn of the faculty, Mr. Charles Ferris and Mrs. Charles Dirr of the student body, Dr. W. R. Moore, and Major David Loepp, '11, from the community. The only distinction line between the panel group and the faculty, student and community friends group was the platform. Outstanding contributions were made by a number from the audience. Suggested questions which need to be answered in connection with American responsibility included: What is to be done to assure the returning soldier adequate employment? What does the atomic bomb mean for victory and for peace? What likelihood obtains concerning universal conscription for military training in America? What provision can be made for Japan's surplus population? Major David Loepp, former mayor of Sioux City, presented a splendid address upon the subject of his experiences in the Allied Military Government in Italy. Dr. Graber gave an illuminating description of the atomic bomb, with a conclusion agreeing with Dr. Becker that the possession of new and overwhelming military power is not a guarantee against war. Page 6 SEPTEMBER, 1945 Service Notes Lt. Col. Walter L. Hurd, Jr., '40, has been commended for his part in the landings in the Scandinavian countries several days before official announcement of the end of the European war. His congratulations stated that his group of unarmed, unescorted craft flew repeatedly over hundreds of miles of the North Sea to disgorge Tommies who quickly stamped out all signs of resistance from the dazed nazi forces. The troops were followed up by a stream of supplies carried from England by Maj. Hurd's 349th troop carrier group of which he is operations officer. Lt. Col. Hurd is the Operations Officer of a group flying the giant transport airplanes of the 9th Troop Carrier Command. "A Trip to Malta" was the topic of a talk by Lowell C. Kindig at a meeting of the American Interprofessional institute at the Martin Hotel. Lowell recently returned to civilian life after more than three years in the navy. The trip he described in his talk took place in 1942 when he was in command of the gun crew on a merchant ship. Lt. (j. g.) Elwood H. Olsen, '38, veteran of 17 months service as a fighter director officer aboard a "baby flattop", is returning home on leave. Of the many Jap suicide planes to dive on formations with which his carrier was operating one crashed into the sea within 100 feet of the ship. Terrific gunfire was all that diverted the flaming Jap, Lt. Olsen asserted. Elwood was with the department of Justice in Washington, D. C., when he entered the service. Mrs. Olsen is the former Grace Taylor, '38, who lives in Sheldon with the Olsen's son, Ty, 3. 2nd Lt. Edmond J. Anderson, ex '41, was among the first Americans to enter Vienna as a member of General Mark W. Clark's United States Forces in Austria. Lt. Anderson, holder of the Legion of Merit, was commissioned in Florence, Italy, last April. In a letter to Dr. Roadman, Lt. Nick Carroll, '38, of the 146th AACS Sqd., Det. 30, writes that he is now on Majuro Island after seeing duty on Kwajalein and Tarawa. "Majuro", Nick states "escaped the fighting and large scale bombing , so is a much pleasanter place to live." He expresses hope that this school year will mark the beginning of a larger Morningside, but not greater, because it always has been great. Nick's latest motto is "Back to the sticks in '46." S. Sgt. Larry W. Curtis, ex '42, is currently assigned to the A. A.. F. redistribution station at the Santa Ana, Cal., air base after serving the last 10 months as a B-17 gunner with the Eighth Air Force. He has 30 combat missions to his credit. Capt. H. Milo Hall, '31, army chaplain; came this summer from Ft. Story, Va., for a short visit with his wife and family in the Virginia Apt. Another guest of the Halls was Sgt. Harold G. Anstrom, recently returned from England, who was spending a 30-day furlough with his wife, the former Ardis Hall, ex '42. 1st Lt. Richard A. Lechner, ex '46, is assigned to the redistribution station at Santa Ana army air base. He is a B-17 pilot in the Eighth Air Force with 32 combat missions to his credit. 2nd Lt. Ted Welton, ex '41, received his commission after his graduation from the officer candidate school at Carlisle Barracks, Pa. He was among a large group of enlisted men of the medical department who won their commissions in the medical administrative corps on the basis of merit and outstanding performance of duty. Lt. (j. g.) Gordon L. Taft, ex '43, who has served continuously on the submarine, U. S. Hammerhead, is spending a 30-day leave with his parents in Sioux City. The submarine entered San Francisco Bay recently, flying from its conning tower 10 Japanese flags, representing the four Jap warships and 15 Nip merchant ships sunk by its torpedoes. Pfc. Dale L. Wright, ex '46, is en-route home from Europe as one of a group of Eighth Armored Division men transferred into the "Santa Fe" division. Ensign Homer E. Garretson, '42, who has been serving aboard the destroyer, U. S. S. Sargent Bay, in the western Pacific, and who took part in two major engagements in that theater of operations, was a recent campus visitor. Pfc. Joe Lease, '42, has begun training as an aviation engineer of the A. A. F. at Geiger Field, Spokane, Wash. Lt. Warren G. Kuhler, ex '44, is a navigator flight-engineer on a B-29 at the A. A. B. at Clovis, New Mexico. T/ 5 Steve DeVries, ex '44, writes that he is in the Cagayen Valley on one of the Philippine Islands and that Pfc. Bill Easley, ex '44, is now in Manila. 1st Lt. Ted Stawicki, ex '45, U. S. M. bC. R., was shot in the head by a Jap sniper on Okinawa but made a rapid recovery in the hospital and was soon back in action. Howard Peterson, ex '46, and Bill Meacham, ex '46, received their commissions as 2nd lieutenants in the marine corps at Notre Dame this summer and have reported to New River, N. C.

Pullman's unit received a meritorious plaque for establishing the hospital in the face of enemy resistance. George went overseas June 1, 1943, and has seen service in Australia, New Guinea, and the Philippines. Sgt. William E. Stoddard, ex '44, who spent a 15-day furlough with his parents in Sioux City, has gone to Aberdeen, Md., where he is attending school. Lt. (j. g.) Bernie Feikma, '42, writes to Dr. Roadman from Richmond, Fla.: "Last Sunday we had a disastrous fire at Richmond. During the height of the hurricane, the huge hangars caved in and the falling timbers ignited the high octane gasoline in the planes and blimps. Three hangars, 1,000 feet by 350 feet, 366 planes, 25 airships, and 150 cars were destroyed by the fire. My car was in one of the hangars but fortunately I had it parked in the only corner that didn't burn." T/ Sgt. Clair L. Hunter, ex '44, a flight engineer on a B-24, completed 60 missions over all enemy territory in Europe except France. Clair is now at Langley Field, Va., working on planes. Lt. (j. g.)

It is in this detachment of the signal corps that the micro-film V-mails coming from and going to the States are enlarged and put through the processing machines with the resultant V-mail letters ready to be sent on their way. John is known as photo-mail chemist as his job consists of mixing the chemicals used in the processing department. From Chunking, China, Lt. Ted Whicher, ex '43, with the OSS SU Dt. 203 writes to Prof. Van Horne: "There was a huge victory celebration in Chunking yesterday. It beat everything I ever saw, and I think fully half of China's 400,000,000 people were there. You never saw such crowds in your life. There was a huge parade_ that must have lasted half the day. I got some very interesting. shots, and if they turn out decently, I'll be glad to show them to you when I get home. Dr. Roadman, as I recall, is very much interested in Chinese colleges, and I've been able to visit two or three. The conditions under which these students work are appalling: ramshackle buildings, with no windows, hard wooden benches, and just lousy facilities in general. In addition to that they are suppressed by the government as far as liberal thought (along certain lines) goes." 1st Lt. Samuel Bach, ex '43, and 2nd Lt. Joe A. Ringland, ex '45, pilots of the Air Transport Command, have just completed a course in the latest methods of "all weather" flying, which qualifies them for flying along the globe encircling routes covered by ATC planes or as an instructor who will tram other ATC pilots destined to carry men and supplies safely wherever they are needed. After two years' duty on the destroyer Lamson, Lt. Page J. Townley, ex '39, is stationed at the Pre-commissioning Training Center on Treasure Island, San Francisco. Lt. (j. g.)

The periodical was published monthly from September to June. This edition was published in September of 1945. This copy is substantially weakened along the center horizontal fold, which has been compounded by three-ring binder holes along the side of the leaves. The outside bifolio is torn along the vertical fold from the top to the first three-ring binder punch, and a tear from the bottom is also beginning to form. The inner bifolio is uneven; the fold is about 1/16th inch too far right and angled somewhat. This has produced extra edge wear on the right side of the bifolio (pages 5 & 6). Page 5 is very faded.

The mother of Ken Bengford, sidelined Maroon guard, was honored as the mother present having the most children. Mrs. Bengford has 13 children. Tours of the campus, during which the parents saw such recent additions as the Jones science hall and the nearly completed Allee fieldhouse, were conducted by students during the morning. The photogravure section of the Des Moines Register for Sunday, November 6, carried a number of pictures of students at Morningside College.

Although other luncheons required the attendance of many t eachers, twentytwo Morningsiders were able to be present at our reunion. In the absence of Dr. Roadman, Prof. Russell Eidsmoe, head of the education department, briefed the group on the program and activities on the campus. Officers elected for the corning year are Rev. Earl Josten, '26, president; Wilson Reynolds, '43, vice president and Miss Iris Anderson, '27, secretary. Tentative plans for an afternoon coffee hour instead of a lunch eon wer e made for next year.

Mrs. H ak ala, '45, is the former Lucile Pippett. " A lot has happened t he past yea r. I now am located in Hokkaido, J apan. We are 3 miles from Sappora on . Japan's northern most island. We h ave truly a nice camp and equal to anything found in the St a t es. My wife joined me in March. We have a fine apartment. This is truly a beautiful part of J apan at any time of the year. I arrived here last year, about January 5th, and entered into a winter wonderland. W e have fine skiing and winter sports which I enjoy. During the year we have any type of sports activity one would desire, from a fin e 18-hole golf course to a 60-horse stable. We get to travel about a bit, roads permitting. We have our auto here, which is quite handy. Don Halverson, a Sioux City boy, is also here in our r egiment; see him quite often . Lucile a nd I expect to return to the States sometime next year in April or May. I will have been gone about 2 1/2 years. The fir st year was r eally tough, being in K orea, but t his ha s been pretty near Stateside, our camp in J apan .

Through his 'Trinity high career and now for four seasons at Morningside, Connie has been dazzling football fans with his punting, passing and running. H e's a real triple-threat performer. You try to stop his passing and he'll run you ragged on his pet "hidden ball" bootleg. You set up a def ense to stop that and he'll rock you on your heels with a quick kick. Incidentally, he's a mast er at the art of quick kicking. Time after time this season he has booted the ball over the def ensive safety. Once he did it for 75 yards, the ball rolling dead on the enemy 1-yard line. Another time the punt went 67 yards and rolled dead on the 9-yard strip. Connie, Morningside's candidate for Little All-American honors, cracked the two thousand mark in total net yardage gained this season. Callahan amassed 227 yards against Quincy College Saturday night, November 19, to boost his g rand total to 2,006 yards for the season. In · the eleven games played by the Maroons this year, Connie has carried the ba ll 1,284 yards and passed for the r emaining 722. He hur led 103 aerials and completed 55 of them for an average of .544. His punting average has been among the nation's leaders; at the end of P age 3 19 49 the season it stands at 43.7 yards per boot. H e placed second in the North Central Conference individual scoring standings with 36 points, and in nonconference tilts he picked up an additional ten touchdowns to raise his total to 96 points for the year. Callahan was also a standout on defense. From the safety position, he intercepted several passes which he returned for considerable yardage. In the 660 minutes of football which were possible, Connie played 650. Connie played his last intercollegiate game Saturday and will graduate next June. He has won four letters in the grid sport and has participated in intercollegiate baseball. If Conni e gets "little all-America" recognition this year, the reaction can only be that the honor is well deserved. If he doesn't, you can blame for the most part, the more or less geographic isolation of the North Central Conference. OUR THANKS FOR YOUR DUES The response to the first general request for Alumni dues has been most encouraging. This is the first mailing that has been sent out to form er Morningsiders since before the war. During the past few years dues have been collected at the Commencemnt and Homecoming dinners with the same faithful alumni paying every year. The dollar contributions which are arriving da ily are boosting the somewhat depleted status of the treasury a s well as the morale of the office staff. LOYAL ALUM DONATES PRINTI NG SERVICES When Mr. ('11) and Mrs. H a l H. Hudson (Ha zel Shumaker, '13) of Titusville, Fla., paid a visit to the campus this fa ll , Hal very generously offered t o take ca re of any printing which might be needed in t he Alumni office in the print shop which he has in connection with the publishing of the Titusville-Star Advocate. As you a ll know, printing these days is an expensive item in any office budget, and having cards and other memoranda printed free of charge has been a r eal service. The Alumni office staf f wishes to express its appreciation to Ha l and Hazel for their help. CAGERS DRILL .F OR OPEN ING GAME The Maroons will start their strenuous cage season a t the Alumni gym Saturday, November 26th. The game will culminate an all day basketball clinic. Visiting team for t he occasion will be an always ro ugh Wayne State Teachers. The following Monday the Morningside cagers will play host to Westmar. The Maroons go on the road December 6th when they meet one of the nation's headline basketball teams in Hamline University. The following day the cagers r et urn for a home stand. Coach Buckingham states that if progress on the new fi eldhouse continues at its present rate. only the first two games will be played in the old gym with the remaining home schedule being played in the new field house. CONNIE ELUDES THE COYOTE PACK Connie Callahan, running back a Coyote kick from behind his own goal line, carries the ball for 102 yards for a Maroon touchdown in the Morningside-South Dakota game on October 22, played before a Homecoming crowd in Vermillion. This is the long·est run recorded in the annals of football history at Morningside. The battle ended in a 6-6 tie. �Page 4 EAST SIDE NEIGHBORS FETE MINISTER AND WIFE From Leon E. Hickman, '22, of Pittsburgh, comes the following 2 column article from the New York Times describing a t estimonial dinner in honor of Rev. ('17) and Mrs. Donald Walton, ( Bessie Reed, '21). Leon comments: "I attended the dinner and must report that I never saw anything quite like it. It was given b y the J ewish neighbors of Donald a nd Bessie Wa lton, and the keynote of the program was appreciation of the good neighborliness of the Waltons, regardless of race or creed. The dinner was given in one of the large J ewish r est aurants on the lower east side and at least 500 people, nearly all of them J ewish, paid $5 a piece to attend the dinner. There must have been 15 or 20 speakers, some of them Jewish Rabbis, others lay leaders of J ewish congregations and still others, men who had grown up in the neighborhood of DeWitt Memorial Church and had known and felt the impact of Donald Walton while growing up." The gilded frescoes and the enormous chandeliers t opped with ruby g lass in Saul Birns' Central P laza H all at 111 Second A venue on the lower East Side looked down last night on an extraordinary neighborhood t ribute t o a Protestant minister and his wif e. F ou r hundred East Side residents-pushcart peddlers, grocers, bakers, t a ilors, rabbis, tenement housewives, and their spouses, as well as men and women born in the neighborhood but risen to influentia l position-poured gifts on the couple and lavished affectionate t ribute upon them. The guests of honor were the Rev. Donald J. Walton of the old De Witt Memorial Church in Rivington Street between Cannon and Columbia Streets, and Mrs. Elizabeth Reed Walton, both from the Iowa corn country. They have been good neighbors with the East Side tenement dwellers for almost twenty-eight years. Tributes Come From the Heart No stuffy formal committee spoke the tribute. It gushed spontaneously from the hearts of people who ha d come to love t he two quiet Iowans through the long years. The dinner sponsors were Berkowit zes, Cohens, Greenbergs, Rosenbergs, Y er eshefskys, Epsteins, H ershkowitz-and many others. They had caused illuminated t estimonials to be drawn for the occasion. They had brought handsome luggage, a folding umbrella, an expensive wallet, a traveling kit, a fountain pen set- a ll for the Protestant minister. For Mrs. Walton they had fetched in the largest bouquet of American beauty roses one man could carry. T he speeches were brief and halting and one or two were edged with dia lect, but they were sincere and unrehearsed and their meaning was clear. The minist er and NOVEMBER, 1949 his wife were touched. The meal was a kosher meal-the East Side's t raditional stuffed goose-neck, dill pickles, pickled tomatoes, gefuelte fish with horse-radish and chicken soup with matzoth balls, but the minister and his wife h ave long been familiar with all these. Dr. Kenneth D. Miller, president of the New York Mission Society, which includes the De Witt Memorial Church among its many parishes in the city, sat with the other guests of honor. He received written t ributes to the Waltons from various church organizations, including one from Dr. Samuel McCrea Cavert, general secretary of the Federal Council of the Churches of Christ in America. It said: " I have long been a warm admirer of the work of Dr. Walton at De Witt Memorial Church. I shall be grateful if you will express my sense of gratitude to Dr. Walton for the devoted and ef fective Ch ristian service which he has rendered, and my best wishes for the future." The Waltons, both gray now, with two children, recalled what their parish was like wh en they came to it on May 9, 1922. H e was fresh from Princeton Seminary and had spent his boyhood on his father's farm at Hawarden,, .Iowa. E lizabeth Reed, born in Guthrie Center, Iowa, had met him at Morningside College in Sioux City, Ia. They were married in the East Side Church. The church had been built in 1881 when the lower East Side's population was chiefly German and Irish. When the Waltons came to it the red brick was a lready faded and the steeple's copper edging h ad greened with time. Virtually all their neighbors were Jewish families living in the crumbling t enements that hem the church in on all sides. Mrs. Walton remembered last night that " it was a little lonely a t first," for a girl from Iowa, but there was so much to do she soon got over homesickness. Robert, their son, now 16, and Mary, 15, were born in the parsonage. Gifts for the Children Mrs . Walton had studied Ger man and found it not unlike Yidish. She could understand her foreig n-born neighbors. They started leaving gifts at the parsonagegefuelte fish, napkins f illed with holiday pastries, strudels, dill pickles and pickled tomatoes from home vats, stuffed gooseneck. T he Waltons came to like these dishes. In 1926 the Waltons visited Palestine. They brought back little silken bags of soil - "dirt from the Holy Land," the neighbors called it -which relig ious J ews prize highly. When old Mrs. Roth died, the Wa ltons gave a bag of it to be placed in her coffin. One by one other oldsters ventured in to ask for similar gifts. The Waltons gave freely. Abe Geiba r, the paint store man down the block, gave the Walton children paints t o play with. At Christmas time bashful neighbors left boxes of candy and other gifts for the parsonage tree, or perfume, or little toys. When Mrs. Walton fell ill three years ago and needed a blood t ransfusi on, Max Weiner, a Rivington Street boy, joined with four friends to donate their blood. When the Wa ltons moved there, Rivington Street was crowded with old women who covered their heads with shawls or who wore the "sheitel," or wig, of the J ewish housewife. There is much less of this now, Mrs. Walton said, but she came to know the re ligious old ladies a nd they came to know her. When she got her M. A. at New York U niversity they left gifts at her house. The Waltons shop at neighborhood stores, among t he pushcarts, where they get double measure ; at Linderman and Berner's, at Hi and Al's, at Dashowitz's and Miner's. On Jewish holidays the bells of the old church sound, along with Hebrew music played through records and an amplifier. On Sundays the st eeple calls the Christian parishioners. New housing developments have broug ht more Christians back to the East Side. Dr. Walton ministers to worshipers who represent twenty-one nationalities. His elders include Chinese, Puerto Ricans, Italians, Germans, Indonesians and Russian, and church visitors preach in Spanish and Russian after Dr . Walton delivers his sermon in English. "The Waltons ?" said a couple flushed wit h eating at last night's testimonial dinner as t hey paused in their lusty intake. "There should only be more such people." Dr. Walton smiled on his neighbors ben·evolently. Dr . Miller smiled too, and shook his head. " I have never known anything quite like this t o happen before, certainly not in t his city," he said.

MUSIC CRITICS ACCLAIM CHICAGO CHORAL LEADER John Halloran, Morningside College graduate of '38, rapidly is achieving recognition in the music world as a choral conductor with his Chicago choir, the Choralists. Regarding his appearance in Grant park this past summer before 40,000 persons, Louis Palmer of the Chicago Sun Times said, "Mr. Halloran knows what he wants from his singers and gets it." In the two initial performances by this group, it was acclaimed by the music critics as "having no peer among local choruses" and that "such is the control, artistry and blending of voices present in their work that only superlatives seem fitting." Another reviewer stated that "this new group looks like the first word in Chicago's answer to the Robert Shaw choral," while another critic made a rebuttal speech in his column the following day saying "it seemed to m e that the last word is not out of their reach. Their imaginative and youthful leader, John Halloran, has trained them into a meticulously balanced ensemble that can sing with hobbyist's enthusiasm and professional polish combined." The Choralists are an a capella group, organized two years ago by Mr. Halloran and a small group of experienced singers who wanted to explore the fields of choral literature. Page 5 1949 From this nucleus sprang this group of 32 professional and student musicians about whom Felix Borowski wrote: "Only the warmest praise must be given to the singing, which was so admirable in tone quality and in artistic understanding that it is to be hoped that the Choralists will not again wait two years before they are heard anew." After graduation from Morningside, Jack taught in the public schools of Hawarden, Ia., and then received his master's degree in music from Northwestern University. He now resides in Evanston, Ill., and since 1945 has been active in Chicago radio, appearing on Club Time, A. B. C. hymn program, Mutual's Theater of the Air, and N. B. C.'s Music from the Heart of America, on which he is frequently heard as tenor soloist. For several years, he was a member of the Cadets, male quartet on the Breakfast Club, and now has his own quartet, the Songsmiths, which has been seen and heard recently on local radio and television programs. . Mr. Halloran this fall began his fourth season as director of the North Shore Choralsociety, and is tenor soloist at the Winnetka Congregational Church.

The Teachers, trailing until the last play of the first half on which a pass clicked for a touchdown and gave them a 14 to 10 lead, turned back the Maroons by a 30 to 10 margin. Morningside put up a dogged resistence during the first half but their defense wore out in the second half under the pounding of Teacher's powerful attack. Connie Callahan, whose evening's passing produced six completions for 113 yards, used his good right arm to tie the score for Morningside in the second period. In a 70 yard driv e, h e hit Darrell Haugen for 14 yards, then passed to him again, and Haugen lateralled to Bruce Pickford for a 37 yard gain. Fin ally on the Teacher 7, Callahan pegged on th e third down to Wally Piper in the flat who snared the pass on the 5 yard line and went over. The Maroons moved downfield again in the same p eriod but wilted on the Panther 5. On fourth down, Bob Hooks booted a fi eld goal from a difficult far -sighted angl e to give Morningside a 10 to 7 lead, its only advantage of the game. T eacher partisans said the first half defense was the best the Panthers h ad fac ed h er e all season. But the Tutors had a definite edge at the end. Their blocking began t o click and the tiring Morningsiders - lackin g full- scale replacements to check the tide-simply caved in when courage no longer could make up for physical exhaustion. MORNINGSIDE 21 - OMAHA 19 On Saturday afternoon, November 5th, the Maroons spoiled Omaha Dad's Day celebration by whipping the Indians 21 to 19 in a game featuring rough tactics by an overly aggressive Omaha t eam. The Maroons opened the scoring in the first quarter when Callah an raced 15 yards on his pet, hidden ball play. Hooks, who pl ayed brilliant ball throughout the game, kicked the first of his three conversions. The Indians, undismayed by Morningside's early threat, took the fo llowing kickoff and marched to a touchdown without once giving up the ball, but failed to convert leaving the score 7 to 6. Morningside received and in the next series of plays fumbled with Omaha recovering on the Maroon twenty. Minutes later the Indians blasted across the goal line and converted to go out in front 13 to 7. Later in the second quarter the Maroons completed a drive from their own 39 with Hooks smashing over and converting to end the first half scoring with Morningside ahead by a scor e of 14 to 13. Morningside dropped into a deep hole at the opening of the second half when the Indians r ecover ed a fumbl e on the Maroo n 18. After a tremendous goal line stand by the maroon and white suiters, Omaha passed for a touchdown. A conversion gave them a 19 to 14 lead. The Maroons later capitalized on a piece of luck when the Indians intercepted a Callahan pass, then lost the ball in t h e next series of downs on a fumble. Working brilliantly, the Morningside gridders uncorked a down field drive of 80 yards, with Callahan again scoring on the bootleg. Hook s converted to end the scoring with the Maroons out in front 21 to 19. MORNINGSIDE 26 - CENTRAL 7 The F lying Dutchmen from Pella, Ia., made a crash landing at Public School Stadium Saturday afternoon, November 12, when they wer e shot down by an a lert Morningside tribe, 26 to 7. Hooks st opped the first Central advance by intercepting a pass and r eturning it 25 yards to midfield. On the next series of pla ys the Maro on s scored on a 14 yard pass play from Callahan to Moll. Hooks kicked for the point and the Maroons led 7 to 0. Morningside again threatened late in the second period when Callahan connected on a pass to Piper on t he forty . Piper was fina ll y forced out on the 17 yard line, but the gun sounded before another play could be run. The Maroons scored again in the third quarter on a 36 yard line dri ve after Jones had made a punt return of 24 yards. Jones �NOVEMBER, finally scampered 18 yards to score on the next series of plays, making it 13 to 0. Again, early in the fourth quarter, a passing attack put the Morningside squad on the Dutchmen's 16. Piper passed to Callahan who raced 15 yards to scor e. Hooks booted the point making it 20 to 0. Cevrant, the Central ace, took the kick off on his own 15 and raced all the w.ay to the Maroon 16 before he was hauled down. Then in quick succession a pass was intercepted by Haugan, but the Dutchmen recove red the ball behind the goal on a last Maroon handoff attempt. They converted to make it 27 to 7. The Maroons garned their last six points on an 85 yard drive with Callahan pushing over the score, 26 to 7. Central was outdowned 15 to 9 in the contest and a lso lost out on yards passing when their vaunted aerial game failed to materialize. The Ma roons led in tot.al off ense 444 yards to 198 yards. Both sides completed 9 out of 23 pass attempts. Page 7 1949 Morningside drove 78 yards to the Quincy 3 in the third but Callahan lost five on a fumbl e and a fourth down pass failed . H owever, the Maroons were given new life when the Hawk's Bobby Brunette dropped the pass from center on fourth down. He was nailed on the Quincy 9 by a host of Maroons. Ossie Jones then ripped through center for 7, Callah an a dded 1 and J ones followed by slipping over for t he gametieing touchdown. Hooks again converted to throw the contest into a 14 to 14 stalemate with a minute and a ha lf left in the third. Prompt ret aliation came from the Quincy Hawks who scored another touchdown three minutes later by driving 60 yards in six plays. An intercepted Callahan pass picked off by Quincy's Belz set up the fin al score. It was the final game for six Maroons, Captain Bob Gregorvich, Alex Pelelo, Bruce Pickford, Don P reston, Len Styczynski and Connie Callahan. TUTORS TIE JACKRABBITS FOR NORTH CENTRAL CROWN By def eating the Coyotes of South Dakota University, 21-14, in an Armistice Day game at Vermillion, Iowa State Teachers won a share of the North Central Conference grid crown with South Dakota State.

The Maroons finish ed the season with a record of seven wins, three losses and one tie. Trailing by 14 points midway in the second period, the Maroons suddenly hit t heir stride with single ta llies in the second and third stanzas to knot the count at 14-all. Callahan started the ball rolling in the second by returning a Quincy kickoff 38 yards t o the Maroon 43. Len Styczynski a nd Bruce Pickford then handled the ma jor portion of the ball carrying by dri ving to the Hawks' 13yard line.

THE MORNINGSIDER Vol. 8 NOVEMBER, 1949 No. 3 COLLEGE EVENT FETES PARENTS REGISTER FEATURES MORNINGSIDE ALUMNI REPRESENT COLLEGE AT INAUGURATONS Parents day was celebrated Saturday, November 12th, on the Morningside College Campus, when more than 450 parents of students were guests of the college for campus tours, luncheon and an afternoon football game. Highlight of the day's program was the pigskin battle between Morningside's Maroons and Central College of Pella, Ia. The campus visitors helped the student body cheer the Morningside team on to a 26 to 7 victory over the Central team. More than 700 parents and students were served luncheon at Lillian E. Dimmitt Hall and the campus Barn Saturday noon. Dr. Earl A. Roadman, college president, introduced faculty members and singled out several of the visiting parents for special honor. Gordon Lockard of Provo, Utah, father of Mary Jo Lockard, was recognized as the parent who traveled the longest distance, 1,000 miles, for the day's festivities. Dr. and Mrs. C. R. Brewer of Early, Ia., were cited as the couple with the most children at Morningside. Their children are Barbara, Carol and Bob Brewer. The mother of Ken Bengford, sidelined Maroon guard, was honored as the mother present having the most children. Mrs. Bengford has 13 children. Tours of the campus, during which the parents saw such recent additions as the Jones science hall and the nearly completed Allee fieldhouse, were conducted by students during the morning. The photogravure section of the Des Moines Register for Sunday, November 6, carried a number of pictures of students at Morningside College. Mrs. Joseph Hopkins (Lou McCallum, '48) of New Wilmington, P.a. was the Morningside representative at the inauguration of W. W. Orr as the tenth president of Westminster College in New Wilmington, Pa. on October 14. A lett er to Dr. Roadman from Lyle L. Knudsen, '46, of Durham, N. C., states that he was present at the inauguration of Arthur Hollis Edens as the new president of Duke University on · October 21 as the representative from Morningside. Dr. Wm. Bruce Blackburn, '26, head of the psychology department at Marietta College at Marietta, Ohio, represented his Alma Mater on October 15 at the inaug uration of President Irvine as the new head of Marietta College.

DEBATERS WIN SEVEN FIRSTS AT SAMPSON Morningside's debat ers were rated highest in seven of eight debates in competition at the Simpson College preseasonal debate tournament at Indianola, Ia. Members of the squad were Bob Eidsmoe, Nelson Price and Georgia Dandos, all of Sioux City and Eleanor Mohr of Terrill, Ia. Eight Iowa colleges and 75 debaters participated in the tournament. FOREIGN STUDENTS GIVE WORLD FAIR An open house was held Sunday afternoon, November 6, in the student union building by members of the Cosmopolitan Club, whose membership of 38 includes 16 students from other lands who are enrolled in Sioux City colleges. The event is open to the public. On display were exhibits of handwork from various countries. A feature was foreign dancing and singing by students from other lands. The foreign born members of the club are from China, Malaya, Hawaii, Greece, Bolivia, Peru, Panama, Guatamala and Canada. The membership also includes Negroes, Indians and American born Japanese. The Morningside Cosmopolitan Club is a charter of Corda Fratres, the association of Cosmopolitan clubs of the United States. The local chapter was organized in 1926 and has been active since that time. Its purpose is to bring together persons of all nationalities for mutual benefit socially and intellectually and to stimulate international friendship. The officers of the club are Bernard R. H ensley, president; Charlene Stevens, vice president; Maurine Rathje, secretary, and Russell Rasmus, treasurer. Malcolm Katsurnato, of H awaii, is publicity director, and Clinton Burris, coll ege librarian, is adviser to the group. MORNINGSDERS MEET IN DES MOINES A Morningside reunion is held annually in Des Moines during the Iowa State Teachers Convention so that teachers in the Des Moines area and Morningsiders in the city can get together. This year a luncheon on Friday noon was enjoyed at the Standard Club, with Rolland and Mary Grefe, president and vice-president of the Des Moines alumni, in charge of arrangements. Although other luncheons required the attendance of many t eachers, twentytwo Morningsiders were able to be present at our reunion. In the absence of Dr. Roadman, Prof. Russell Eidsmoe, head of the education department, briefed the group on the program and activities on the campus. Officers elected for the corning year are Rev. Earl Josten, '26, president; Wilson Reynolds, '43, vice president and Miss Iris Anderson, '27, secretary. Tentative plans for an afternoon coffee hour instead of a lunch eon wer e made for next year.

Mrs. H ak ala, '45, is the former Lucile Pippett. " A lot has happened t he past yea r. I now am located in Hokkaido, J apan. We are 3 miles from Sappora on . Japan's northern most island. We h ave truly a nice camp and equal to anything found in the St a t es. My wife joined me in March. We have a fine apartment. This is truly a beautiful part of J apan at any time of the year. I arrived here last year, about January 5th, and entered into a winter wonderland. W e have fine skiing and winter sports which I enjoy. During the year we have any type of sports activity one would desire, from a fin e 18-hole golf course to a 60-horse stable. We get to travel about a bit, roads permitting. We have our auto here, which is quite handy. Don Halverson, a Sioux City boy, is also here in our r egiment; see him quite often . Lucile a nd I expect to return to the States sometime next year in April or May. I will have been gone about 2 1/2 years. The fir st year was r eally tough, being in K orea, but t his ha s been pretty near Stateside, our camp in J apan . The time goes swiftly, so fast one doesn't have enough time to do all one would like to do, as our work demands a re so gr eat." - Halfback Don Heller, (52) of Central was stopped cold in this play by Callahan ( 49) and Hohs ( 55) with Oscar Jones (43) coming up to lend a hand.

Through his 'Trinity high career and now for four seasons at Morningside, Connie has been dazzling football fans with his punting, passing and running. H e's a real triple-threat performer. You try to stop his passing and he'll run you ragged on his pet "hidden ball" bootleg. You set up a def ense to stop that and he'll rock you on your heels with a quick kick. Incidentally, he's a mast er at the art of quick kicking. Time after time this season he has booted the ball over the def ensive safety. Once he did it for 75 yards, the ball rolling dead on the enemy 1-yard line. Another time the punt went 67 yards and rolled dead on the 9-yard strip. Connie, Morningside's candidate for Little All-American honors, cracked the two thousand mark in total net yardage gained this season. Callahan amassed 227 yards against Quincy College Saturday night, November 19, to boost his g rand total to 2,006 yards for the season. In · the eleven games played by the Maroons this year, Connie has carried the ba ll 1,284 yards and passed for the r emaining 722. He hur led 103 aerials and completed 55 of them for an average of .544. His punting average has been among the nation's leaders; at the end of P age 3 19 49 the season it stands at 43.7 yards per boot. H e placed second in the North Central Conference individual scoring standings with 36 points, and in nonconference tilts he picked up an additional ten touchdowns to raise his total to 96 points for the year. Callahan was also a standout on defense. From the safety position, he intercepted several passes which he returned for considerable yardage. In the 660 minutes of football which were possible, Connie played 650. Connie played his last intercollegiate game Saturday and will graduate next June. He has won four letters in the grid sport and has participated in intercollegiate baseball. If Conni e gets "little all-America" recognition this year, the reaction can only be that the honor is well deserved. If he doesn't, you can blame for the most part, the more or less geographic isolation of the North Central Conference. OUR THANKS FOR YOUR DUES The response to the first general request for Alumni dues has been most encouraging. This is the first mailing that has been sent out to form er Morningsiders since before the war. During the past few years dues have been collected at the Commencemnt and Homecoming dinners with the same faithful alumni paying every year. The dollar contributions which are arriving da ily are boosting the somewhat depleted status of the treasury a s well as the morale of the office staff. LOYAL ALUM DONATES PRINTI NG SERVICES When Mr. ('11) and Mrs. H a l H. Hudson (Ha zel Shumaker, '13) of Titusville, Fla., paid a visit to the campus this fa ll , Hal very generously offered t o take ca re of any printing which might be needed in t he Alumni office in the print shop which he has in connection with the publishing of the Titusville-Star Advocate. As you a ll know, printing these days is an expensive item in any office budget, and having cards and other memoranda printed free of charge has been a r eal service. The Alumni office staf f wishes to express its appreciation to Ha l and Hazel for their help. CAGERS DRILL .F OR OPEN ING GAME The Maroons will start their strenuous cage season a t the Alumni gym Saturday, November 26th. The game will culminate an all day basketball clinic. Visiting team for t he occasion will be an always ro ugh Wayne State Teachers. The following Monday the Morningside cagers will play host to Westmar. The Maroons go on the road December 6th when they meet one of the nation's headline basketball teams in Hamline University. The following day the cagers r et urn for a home stand. Coach Buckingham states that if progress on the new fi eldhouse continues at its present rate. only the first two games will be played in the old gym with the remaining home schedule being played in the new field house. CONNIE ELUDES THE COYOTE PACK Connie Callahan, running back a Coyote kick from behind his own goal line, carries the ball for 102 yards for a Maroon touchdown in the Morningside-South Dakota game on October 22, played before a Homecoming crowd in Vermillion. This is the long·est run recorded in the annals of football history at Morningside. The battle ended in a 6-6 tie. Page 4 EAST SIDE NEIGHBORS FETE MINISTER AND WIFE From Leon E. Hickman, '22, of Pittsburgh, comes the following 2 column article from the New York Times describing a t estimonial dinner in honor of Rev. ('17) and Mrs. Donald Walton, ( Bessie Reed, '21). Leon comments: "I attended the dinner and must report that I never saw anything quite like it. It was given b y the J ewish neighbors of Donald a nd Bessie Wa lton, and the keynote of the program was appreciation of the good neighborliness of the Waltons, regardless of race or creed. The dinner was given in one of the large J ewish r est aurants on the lower east side and at least 500 people, nearly all of them J ewish, paid $5 a piece to attend the dinner. There must have been 15 or 20 speakers, some of them Jewish Rabbis, others lay leaders of J ewish congregations and still others, men who had grown up in the neighborhood of DeWitt Memorial Church and had known and felt the impact of Donald Walton while growing up." The gilded frescoes and the enormous chandeliers t opped with ruby g lass in Saul Birns' Central P laza H all at 111 Second A venue on the lower East Side looked down last night on an extraordinary neighborhood t ribute t o a Protestant minister and his wif e. F ou r hundred East Side residents-pushcart peddlers, grocers, bakers, t a ilors, rabbis, tenement housewives, and their spouses, as well as men and women born in the neighborhood but risen to influentia l position-poured gifts on the couple and lavished affectionate t ribute upon them. The guests of honor were the Rev. Donald J. Walton of the old De Witt Memorial Church in Rivington Street between Cannon and Columbia Streets, and Mrs. Elizabeth Reed Walton, both from the Iowa corn country. They have been good neighbors with the East Side tenement dwellers for almost twenty-eight years. Tributes Come From the Heart No stuffy formal committee spoke the tribute. It gushed spontaneously from the hearts of people who ha d come to love t he two quiet Iowans through the long years. The dinner sponsors were Berkowit zes, Cohens, Greenbergs, Rosenbergs, Y er eshefskys, Epsteins, H ershkowitz-and many others. They had caused illuminated t estimonials to be drawn for the occasion. They had brought handsome luggage, a folding umbrella, an expensive wallet, a traveling kit, a fountain pen set- a ll for the Protestant minister. For Mrs. Walton they had fetched in the largest bouquet of American beauty roses one man could carry. T he speeches were brief and halting and one or two were edged with dia lect, but they were sincere and unrehearsed and their meaning was clear. The minist er and NOVEMBER, 1949 his wife were touched. The meal was a kosher meal-the East Side's t raditional stuffed goose-neck, dill pickles, pickled tomatoes, gefuelte fish with horse-radish and chicken soup with matzoth balls, but the minister and his wife h ave long been familiar with all these. Dr. Kenneth D. Miller, president of the New York Mission Society, which includes the De Witt Memorial Church among its many parishes in the city, sat with the other guests of honor. He received written t ributes to the Waltons from various church organizations, including one from Dr. Samuel McCrea Cavert, general secretary of the Federal Council of the Churches of Christ in America. It said: " I have long been a warm admirer of the work of Dr. Walton at De Witt Memorial Church. I shall be grateful if you will express my sense of gratitude to Dr. Walton for the devoted and ef fective Ch ristian service which he has rendered, and my best wishes for the future." The Waltons, both gray now, with two children, recalled what their parish was like wh en they came to it on May 9, 1922. H e was fresh from Princeton Seminary and had spent his boyhood on his father's farm at Hawarden,, .Iowa. E lizabeth Reed, born in Guthrie Center, Iowa, had met him at Morningside College in Sioux City, Ia. They were married in the East Side Church. The church had been built in 1881 when the lower East Side's population was chiefly German and Irish. When the Waltons came to it the red brick was a lready faded and the steeple's copper edging h ad greened with time. Virtually all their neighbors were Jewish families living in the crumbling t enements that hem the church in on all sides. Mrs. Walton remembered last night that " it was a little lonely a t first," for a girl from Iowa, but there was so much to do she soon got over homesickness. Robert, their son, now 16, and Mary, 15, were born in the parsonage. Gifts for the Children Mrs . Walton had studied Ger man and found it not unlike Yidish. She could understand her foreig n-born neighbors. They started leaving gifts at the parsonagegefuelte fish, napkins f illed with holiday pastries, strudels, dill pickles and pickled tomatoes from home vats, stuffed gooseneck. T he Waltons came to like these dishes. In 1926 the Waltons visited Palestine. They brought back little silken bags of soil - "dirt from the Holy Land," the neighbors called it -which relig ious J ews prize highly. When old Mrs. Roth died, the Wa ltons gave a bag of it to be placed in her coffin. One by one other oldsters ventured in to ask for similar gifts. The Waltons gave freely. Abe Geiba r, the paint store man down the block, gave the Walton children paints t o play with. At Christmas time bashful neighbors left boxes of candy and other gifts for the parsonage tree, or perfume, or little toys. When Mrs. Walton fell ill three years ago and needed a blood t ransfusi on, Max Weiner, a Rivington Street boy, joined with four friends to donate their blood. When the Wa ltons moved there, Rivington Street was crowded with old women who covered their heads with shawls or who wore the "sheitel," or wig, of the J ewish housewife. There is much less of this now, Mrs. Walton said, but she came to know the re ligious old ladies a nd they came to know her. When she got her M. A. at New York U niversity they left gifts at her house. The Waltons shop at neighborhood stores, among t he pushcarts, where they get double measure ; at Linderman and Berner's, at Hi and Al's, at Dashowitz's and Miner's. On Jewish holidays the bells of the old church sound, along with Hebrew music played through records and an amplifier. On Sundays the st eeple calls the Christian parishioners. New housing developments have broug ht more Christians back to the East Side. Dr. Walton ministers to worshipers who represent twenty-one nationalities. His elders include Chinese, Puerto Ricans, Italians, Germans, Indonesians and Russian, and church visitors preach in Spanish and Russian after Dr . Walton delivers his sermon in English. "The Waltons ?" said a couple flushed wit h eating at last night's testimonial dinner as t hey paused in their lusty intake. "There should only be more such people." Dr. Walton smiled on his neighbors ben·evolently. Dr . Miller smiled too, and shook his head. " I have never known anything quite like this t o happen before, certainly not in t his city," he said.

MUSIC CRITICS ACCLAIM CHICAGO CHORAL LEADER John Halloran, Morningside College graduate of '38, rapidly is achieving recognition in the music world as a choral conductor with his Chicago choir, the Choralists. Regarding his appearance in Grant park this past summer before 40,000 persons, Louis Palmer of the Chicago Sun Times said, "Mr. Halloran knows what he wants from his singers and gets it." In the two initial performances by this group, it was acclaimed by the music critics as "having no peer among local choruses" and that "such is the control, artistry and blending of voices present in their work that only superlatives seem fitting." Another reviewer stated that "this new group looks like the first word in Chicago's answer to the Robert Shaw choral," while another critic made a rebuttal speech in his column the following day saying "it seemed to m e that the last word is not out of their reach. Their imaginative and youthful leader, John Halloran, has trained them into a meticulously balanced ensemble that can sing with hobbyist's enthusiasm and professional polish combined." The Choralists are an a capella group, organized two years ago by Mr. Halloran and a small group of experienced singers who wanted to explore the fields of choral literature. Page 5 1949 From this nucleus sprang this group of 32 professional and student musicians about whom Felix Borowski wrote: "Only the warmest praise must be given to the singing, which was so admirable in tone quality and in artistic understanding that it is to be hoped that the Choralists will not again wait two years before they are heard anew." After graduation from Morningside, Jack taught in the public schools of Hawarden, Ia., and then received his master's degree in music from Northwestern University. He now resides in Evanston, Ill., and since 1945 has been active in Chicago radio, appearing on Club Time, A. B. C. hymn program, Mutual's Theater of the Air, and N. B. C.'s Music from the Heart of America, on which he is frequently heard as tenor soloist. For several years, he was a member of the Cadets, male quartet on the Breakfast Club, and now has his own quartet, the Songsmiths, which has been seen and heard recently on local radio and television programs. . Mr. Halloran this fall began his fourth season as director of the North Shore Choralsociety, and is tenor soloist at the Winnetka Congregational Church. IN MEMORIAM Word has been received at the alumni office that E. Elihu Shoemaker, 1915, died of cancer in May, 1949. Elihu's home was in Hermiston, Oregon. Mr. P. E. Fredendoll, '07, died July 5th in Hattiesburg, Miss. after a brief illness. He was at the time employed by the R.E.A. as pole inspector in the southeastern states. Word has come from Mr. A. B. Eckerson, formerly Frances Amthor, a student in the Normal School in 1906 and 1907, that her husband, an ex-student of the class of '07, passed away some time ago. Among his duties as accountant, h e had been secretary of an irrigation and domestic water servicein Bloomington. Since the death of her husband, Mrs. Eckerson has taken over his wo'r k.

The Teachers, trailing until the last play of the first half on which a pass clicked for a touchdown and gave them a 14 to 10 lead, turned back the Maroons by a 30 to 10 margin. Morningside put up a dogged resistence during the first half but their defense wore out in the second half under the pounding of Teacher's powerful attack. Connie Callahan, whose evening's passing produced six completions for 113 yards, used his good right arm to tie the score for Morningside in the second period. In a 70 yard driv e, h e hit Darrell Haugen for 14 yards, then passed to him again, and Haugen lateralled to Bruce Pickford for a 37 yard gain. Fin ally on the Teacher 7, Callahan pegged on th e third down to Wally Piper in the flat who snared the pass on the 5 yard line and went over. The Maroons moved downfield again in the same p eriod but wilted on the Panther 5. On fourth down, Bob Hooks booted a fi eld goal from a difficult far -sighted angl e to give Morningside a 10 to 7 lead, its only advantage of the game. T eacher partisans said the first half defense was the best the Panthers h ad fac ed h er e all season. But the Tutors had a definite edge at the end. Their blocking began t o click and the tiring Morningsiders - lackin g full- scale replacements to check the tide-simply caved in when courage no longer could make up for physical exhaustion. MORNINGSIDE 21 - OMAHA 19 On Saturday afternoon, November 5th, the Maroons spoiled Omaha Dad's Day celebration by whipping the Indians 21 to 19 in a game featuring rough tactics by an overly aggressive Omaha t eam. The Maroons opened the scoring in the first quarter when Callah an raced 15 yards on his pet, hidden ball play. Hooks, who pl ayed brilliant ball throughout the game, kicked the first of his three conversions. The Indians, undismayed by Morningside's early threat, took the fo llowing kickoff and marched to a touchdown without once giving up the ball, but failed to convert leaving the score 7 to 6. Morningside received and in the next series of plays fumbled with Omaha recovering on the Maroon twenty. Minutes later the Indians blasted across the goal line and converted to go out in front 13 to 7. Later in the second quarter the Maroons completed a drive from their own 39 with Hooks smashing over and converting to end the first half scoring with Morningside ahead by a scor e of 14 to 13. Morningside dropped into a deep hole at the opening of the second half when the Indians r ecover ed a fumbl e on the Maroo n 18. After a tremendous goal line stand by the maroon and white suiters, Omaha passed for a touchdown. A conversion gave them a 19 to 14 lead. The Maroons later capitalized on a piece of luck when the Indians intercepted a Callahan pass, then lost the ball in t h e next series of downs on a fumble. Working brilliantly, the Morningside gridders uncorked a down field drive of 80 yards, with Callahan again scoring on the bootleg. Hook s converted to end the scoring with the Maroons out in front 21 to 19. MORNINGSIDE 26 - CENTRAL 7 The F lying Dutchmen from Pella, Ia., made a crash landing at Public School Stadium Saturday afternoon, November 12, when they wer e shot down by an a lert Morningside tribe, 26 to 7. Hooks st opped the first Central advance by intercepting a pass and r eturning it 25 yards to midfield. On the next series of pla ys the Maro on s scored on a 14 yard pass play from Callahan to Moll. Hooks kicked for the point and the Maroons led 7 to 0. Morningside again threatened late in the second period when Callahan connected on a pass to Piper on t he forty . Piper was fina ll y forced out on the 17 yard line, but the gun sounded before another play could be run. The Maroons scored again in the third quarter on a 36 yard line dri ve after Jones had made a punt return of 24 yards. Jones NOVEMBER, finally scampered 18 yards to score on the next series of plays, making it 13 to 0. Again, early in the fourth quarter, a passing attack put the Morningside squad on the Dutchmen's 16. Piper passed to Callahan who raced 15 yards to scor e. Hooks booted the point making it 20 to 0. Cevrant, the Central ace, took the kick off on his own 15 and raced all the w.ay to the Maroon 16 before he was hauled down. Then in quick succession a pass was intercepted by Haugan, but the Dutchmen recove red the ball behind the goal on a last Maroon handoff attempt. They converted to make it 27 to 7. The Maroons garned their last six points on an 85 yard drive with Callahan pushing over the score, 26 to 7. Central was outdowned 15 to 9 in the contest and a lso lost out on yards passing when their vaunted aerial game failed to materialize. The Ma roons led in tot.al off ense 444 yards to 198 yards. Both sides completed 9 out of 23 pass attempts. Page 7 1949 Morningside drove 78 yards to the Quincy 3 in the third but Callahan lost five on a fumbl e and a fourth down pass failed . H owever, the Maroons were given new life when the Hawk's Bobby Brunette dropped the pass from center on fourth down. He was nailed on the Quincy 9 by a host of Maroons. Ossie Jones then ripped through center for 7, Callah an a dded 1 and J ones followed by slipping over for t he gametieing touchdown. Hooks again converted to throw the contest into a 14 to 14 stalemate with a minute and a ha lf left in the third. Prompt ret aliation came from the Quincy Hawks who scored another touchdown three minutes later by driving 60 yards in six plays. An intercepted Callahan pass picked off by Quincy's Belz set up the fin al score. It was the final game for six Maroons, Captain Bob Gregorvich, Alex Pelelo, Bruce Pickford, Don P reston, Len Styczynski and Connie Callahan. TUTORS TIE JACKRABBITS FOR NORTH CENTRAL CROWN By def eating the Coyotes of South Dakota University, 21-14, in an Armistice Day game at Vermillion, Iowa State Teachers won a share of the North Central Conference grid crown with South Dakota State.

The Maroons finish ed the season with a record of seven wins, three losses and one tie. Trailing by 14 points midway in the second period, the Maroons suddenly hit t heir stride with single ta llies in the second and third stanzas to knot the count at 14-all. Callahan started the ball rolling in the second by returning a Quincy kickoff 38 yards t o the Maroon 43. Len Styczynski a nd Bruce Pickford then handled the ma jor portion of the ball carrying by dri ving to the Hawks' 13yard line.

The Morningsider Volume 08, Number 03 was published for the month of November in 1949. The condition of this issue is fair. with a few minor concerns. The biggest of these is the crease along the middle of the pages, which suggests that the edition had been folded in half and stored that way. There are also three hole punches along the inner side of the pages, and this causes rips and tears along the holes. Other than some other minor rips and tears and folds, though, this issue is in great condition. Table Of Contents A list of subunits of the resource.

Allee gymnasium with a seating capacity of 5,000, was opened to the public for the first time Saturday, December 17, when the Maroons played host to the Falcons of River Falls (Wis.) State Teachers College in the first basketball game on the new maples. Pregame and halftime ceremonies were brief and simple. The doors of the new structure opened at 7 o'clock to admit the public while the Morningside College band played under the direction of Bob Lowry. A brief flag ceremony was held prior to the game and George Iseminger, '40, sang the national anthem. George M. Allee of Newell, whose gift of $32,000 was accepted as the naming contribution, presented the basketball to Clayton Bristow, who captained the Maroons for this game. Bristow turned the ball over to the officials and the two teams were introduced before the game began. At the intermission, Dr. Earl A. Roadman introduced to the public the building committee, athletic committee, State Senator C. S. VanEaton, Representative Charles B. Hoeven, city officials and other dignitaries present. Members of the various women's physical education classes performed and "Jerry" Foss of the men's physical education department put on a weight lifting demonstration. The Morningside College band and drum majorettes also performed. DEBATERS WIN AT CEDAR FALLS Morningside College debaters rang the bell in a two-day debate tournament at Iowa State Teachers College at Cedar Falls December 9 and 10, by capturing 11 of 12 debates. The tournament included competitive debate, extemporaneous speaking and discussions. It was entered by 124 debaters representing 19 colleges in six states. Morningside tied with Bradley University of Peoria, Ill., for top debate honors. Two Morningside two-man debate teams were undefeated in the competition. They included Nelson Price and Robert Eidsmoe; Georgia Dandos and Eleanor Mohr. Robert Eidsmoe was listed among the seven best speakers at the tournament. Prof. Ayers McGrew is the debate coach. NUMBER FOUR • IS MUSIC LOVERS ENJOY MESSIAH With the thirty-first presentation of Handel's Messiah under the baton of Prof. Paul MacCollin on Sunday evening, December 11, in Grace Methodist Church, Sioux City music lovers were reminded once again of the original meaning of Christmas. The combined efforts of 150 singers, representing the chapel choir, vesper choir, and the Grace Church choir, accompanied by members of the Sioux City Symphony and Elizabeth Beckman, organist, thrilled a receptive audience, smaller than usual, however, due to the ice-clad streets and inclement weather. Soloists were Elizabeth MacCollin, singing her twenty-fifth Messiah; Nadine Lindquist ('39) Flinders, of Rantoul, Ill., contralto; Donald Kelsey, '49, tenor, and Emery Stewart, '35, baritone. Mrs. Flinders formerly was an instructor in voice at North Texas State Teachers College, Denton, Texas, and at the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor. She studied under Conrad Bos at the Juilliard School of Music, New York City. While attending Eastman School of Music, Rochester, N. Y., where she received her master's degree in 1941, Mrs. Flinders was soloist with the Rochester civic orchestra. She played the role of Carmen in the Eastman Theater production of Bizet's opera, was prominent in radio broadcasts and was contralto soloist in presentations of Mendelssohn's Elijah. An interesting event in Nadine's music career was her appearance as contralto soloist in a Messiah presentation in Hibiya Hall, Toyko, where her husband, Dale J. Flinders, '39, a major in the airforce, was stationed for a time in World War II. Mr. Stewart is an instructor in voice at the Morningside Conservatory of Music and has won favor in several oratorio appearances here. For several seasons he has been baritone soloist with the touring Morningside College acapella Choir. Mr. Kelsey, a graduate of Morningside Conservatory, now is teaching music in Nebraska. He was heard frequently in concerts, theatrical and radio appearances in this area while attending college. Mr. Kelsey's quality had sweetness; Mrs. MacCollin's, a clarity emphasized by her Gala Affair meticulous technique; Mrs. Flinder's smoothness and coordination, and Mr. Stewart's flexibility, essential to the baritone score. They and the chorus sang devoutly, with some spots of special greatness, such as Mrs. MacCollin's restrained interpretation to the Recitative, There Were Shepherds; Mrs. Flinders' poignant, He Shall Feed His Flock; Mr. Kelsey's Recitative, He That Dwelleth in Heaven, and Mr. Stewart's Air, The People That Walked in Darkness. The chorus, too, manifested tone balance, resiliency and sincerity, attaining a brilliant finale in the Amen as well as spirit, in the Hallelujah chorus.

The formal dinner party Page 3 1949 Alice took graduate work in guidance at the University of Colorado. Mrs. Dawson's topic was "Its an Art". Among other things, Alice stated: "Anything we do, including the achievement of seemingly insignificant goals we set for ourselves, can be an art". The speaker drew such comparisons as those between Christian Dior, Parisian couturier, and "the 4-H girl with her homemade suit," and between Grandma Moses, American primitive artist, and "the winner of the recent community fund poster contest", and said that there is art in each instance. "There is art in little things: In presiding at a meeting, in playing basketball, in having fun and laughing and in making those three most difficult statements: Please, I'm Sorry and Thank You." Miss Helen Ann Bartram, president of Agora, presided at the dinner and introduced Mrs. Dawson and special guests who were Dr. and Mrs. Roadman, Miss Lillian E. Dimmitt, women members of the faculty and previous speakers at Leadership dinners. A musical program was presented by students of the Morningside conservatory of music.

This is the third time that a Morningside gridder has been so honored. Leon Johnson, '18, now deceased, first gained little Connie Callahan all-American recognition in 1919 after a season on the famous squad that forced Notre Dame to a hard-won victory. The award was made on the strength of his trem endous performance in this tilt. Steve Smilanich won similar honors from the guard position on the Maroon's 1940 squad. Probably rio other Maroon gridder has had the publicity that has showered Connie. His gridiron f eats surpassed many leading· players of national fame. Connie's most outstanding a chievem ent was the season's total yards, 2006, the second highest in the history of collegiate football. Other impressive statistics reveal that Connie pl ayed 650 minutes out of a possible 660 for the season.

The f eature game was played on even t erms the fir st nine minutes, the lead changing hands fiv e times, until Bob Brock dropped a long shot making it 10 to 9 and put the Morningsider s ahead to stay. John Wiedenfeld and Clayton Bristow teamed in the second quarter to give Morningside a 27 to 20 halftime advantage. The first eight minutes of the second half proved to be a replica of the opening minutes of th e game. The Wildcats matched the Maroons basket for basket, but Bristow, Doug Gresham and Bob Norris opened a drive which quickly provided a 13-point gap and as one time in the last period produced a 23-point lead, 61 to 38. Wayne cut the deficit by eight points in the last four minutes, playing against a reserve Morningside lineup . Norris received th e evening's individual scoring honors boasting 16 points, Bristow and Wiedenfeld counted for 13 and 11 respectively. Although playing only about 12 minutes, Gr esham n etted n in e points to turn in a noteworthy performance.

RIVER FALLS WIN GAME IN NEW GYM The nation 's most proficient point-getter in the history of basketball, Nate De Long, broke the shackles in the second half to lea d River Falls Teachers to a 56 to 43 victory over Morningside in the opening game at Allee gymnasium. The Falcon ace counted 24 points, bringing his all-time collegiate total to 2,253 points. It was a spinetingling ball game the first half, with Clayton Bristow outplaying his more famous rival by a wide margin. The Morningside ace collected his fourth personal foul rather early in the second, half however, and was unable to press De Long as closely as he had before that point. The littl e extra edge was all De Long needed. Big Nate foul ed out himself with eight minutes to go. Earlier Morningside had lost the services of Bob Norris for the same r eason. 'T he score was tied four times before J ohnny Williams put Morningside ahead for the first time, 11 to 10, on a long shot with 8 1/ 2 minutes played. T he Maroons, with Bristow, John Wiedenfe1d and finally Norris h andling the point-making chores, remained ahead until seconds before halftime when Harry Gibbs scored on a tip-in to tie the count at 27-all as the teams left the floor. Early in the second half Morningside h a d a 31 to 29 advantage but De Long took charge at this point and personally account ed for 15 of the Falcon's next 16 points, all coming while Morningside �DE CE MBER, starved on a skimpy di et of a single tip-in by Bristow. It was 53 to 33 with six minutes to go, a nd De Long out of the game. The Maroons roll ed in 10 points to the F a lcons' three in the remaining tim e, but the deficit was far too much to overcom e.

Six foot, three inch center, Clayton Bristow, again was the deciding margin. The flashy pivotman, tallest of the Morningside r egulars with ailing Dick Wiedenfeld, out, cut loose with six fi eld goals and canned seven of a dozen free throw att empts to nail down scoring honors for the evening with 19. The Wildcats made a fight of it for the first half, then f ell behind as the rangier Sioux Cityans grabbed the advantage the final 20 minutes. The lead changed hands several times befor e the Maroons moved into a 29 to 27 advantage 15 seconds before the intermission on a hook shot by Bristow. Bristow, aided by Loren Moll, Johnny Williams and John Wiedenfeld, continued to hit during the second half as the Maroons maintained their lead. ALUMNUS THANKS MORNINGSIDE COLLEGE In a letter t o Dr. Roadma n, Harry A. Chipman, ex'l3, of Spring Valley, Minn., expresses beautifully, sentiments which we are sure are those of a great many other Morningsider s. We quote from his letter: "We have just finish ed a bountiful Thanksgiving dinn er surrounded by family a nd friends, and I have been doing a bit of thinking-thinking about h ow good God has been to us. "Naturally we would like to be in better h ea lth. But aside from that we have been showered with an abundance of good things for which we are very grateful. And, as I count my blessings, I am never unmindful of that intangible something I got at Morningside and which influenced my life so gr eatly. As I look back upon that experience now, I have the feeling that my charact er and my whole outlook on life was pretty much det ermined right there on that campus. "In return for all this I paid the sum of $17.00 a semester. But how much was it really worth? How much has it been worth to m e and to the hundreds of young men and women who h ave been in my organization the past thirty-five years and who have looked to m e for guidance a nd leadership? Gayly wrapped gifts under the tree were placd there by the girls in Dimmitt Hall for needy children of the city. Charmaine Reed of Albion, Neb.; LaMoyne Messenger of Woodbine, Ia., and Mary Lo,u Gunderson of Bradgate, Ia., arrange the gifts before . arty time. p I say thi s unblushingly, because, as I have told you before, I did not carry away a whole lot of factual information from Morningside, but I did carry away some convictions about m oral character , decency, and the value of one's soul. Well, just try to calcul at e the amount of tuit ion that should be charged for that! CAMPUS VISITORS "What I am . trying to say is that this extra curricular, which do es not even appear in your catalogue, ·and for wh ich n o credits are r ecorded, is in fact a major subject at Morningside. And so, on this Thanksgiving day I want to express my g ratitude for the opportunity I had of a ttendin g Morningside Coll ege."

Hoeven of the Eighth Iowa district. It originally had been delivered before a house breakfast group July 28. Mr. Hoeven said that although the house has heard many fine speeches, Mr. Davenport's was "one of the finest dealing with a subject in which every person in America should be vitally interested." "This is my family creed," Mr. Davenport told the breakfast group: "I believe in the American family, 1949, because it fosters courtesy and understanding. "I believe in the American family, 1949, because it is the time capsule of devotion to democracy and the republican form of government. "I believe in the American family, 1949, because it maintains Christ's gift of th e fatherhood of God and the brotherhood of man. "I believe in the American family, 1949, because it is based on love." Mr. Hoeven reminded the congressmen that Mr. Davenport last year was awarded the title "father of the year" by the Washington Post." Samuel is assistant to the house coordinator of information. �Page 8 DE CE MBER, 1949 in Fort Dodge where she attended grade and high schools, and came to Sioux City first as a student at Morningside College. Happie was graduated from Morningside in 1923 and went on to the Kansas ·City National Training School for Christian Workers. She planned to become a deaconness. During this period she became ill. A forgotten accident of years before-a playmate had struck her with a hammock and she had been thrown backward on her head -asserted itself in the form of a loss of equilibrium, which eventually necessitated surgery. For awhile after that she worked from her Fort Dodge home a s a deaconness' assistant. Five years ago Miss Smith moved to Sioux City. Three years ago she found herself unable to walk alone. The Happie Holders and the chenille rugs have been her answer to two questions, what to do with her days and how to augment her income.

Allee gymnasium with a seating capacity of 5,000, was opened to the public for the first time Saturday, December 17, when the Maroons played host to the Falcons of River Falls (Wis.) State Teachers College in the first basketball game on the new maples. Pregame and halftime ceremonies were brief and simple. The doors of the new structure opened at 7 o'clock to admit the public while the Morningside College band played under the direction of Bob Lowry. A brief flag ceremony was held prior to the game and George Iseminger, '40, sang the national anthem. George M. Allee of Newell, whose gift of $32,000 was accepted as the naming contribution, presented the basketball to Clayton Bristow, who captained the Maroons for this game. Bristow turned the ball over to the officials and the two teams were introduced before the game began. At the intermission, Dr. Earl A. Roadman introduced to the public the building committee, athletic committee, State Senator C. S. VanEaton, Representative Charles B. Hoeven, city officials and other dignitaries present. Members of the various women's physical education classes performed and "Jerry" Foss of the men's physical education department put on a weight lifting demonstration. The Morningside College band and drum majorettes also performed. DEBATERS WIN AT CEDAR FALLS Morningside College debaters rang the bell in a two-day debate tournament at Iowa State Teachers College at Cedar Falls December 9 and 10, by capturing 11 of 12 debates. The tournament included competitive debate, extemporaneous speaking and discussions. It was entered by 124 debaters representing 19 colleges in six states. Morningside tied with Bradley University of Peoria, Ill., for top debate honors. Two Morningside two-man debate teams were undefeated in the competition. They included Nelson Price and Robert Eidsmoe; Georgia Dandos and Eleanor Mohr. Robert Eidsmoe was listed among the seven best speakers at the tournament. Prof. Ayers McGrew is the debate coach. NUMBER FOUR • IS MUSIC LOVERS ENJOY MESSIAH With the thirty-first presentation of Handel's Messiah under the baton of Prof. Paul MacCollin on Sunday evening, December 11, in Grace Methodist Church, Sioux City music lovers were reminded once again of the original meaning of Christmas. The combined efforts of 150 singers, representing the chapel choir, vesper choir, and the Grace Church choir, accompanied by members of the Sioux City Symphony and Elizabeth Beckman, organist, thrilled a receptive audience, smaller than usual, however, due to the ice-clad streets and inclement weather. Soloists were Elizabeth MacCollin, singing her twenty-fifth Messiah; Nadine Lindquist ('39) Flinders, of Rantoul, Ill., contralto; Donald Kelsey, '49, tenor, and Emery Stewart, '35, baritone. Mrs. Flinders formerly was an instructor in voice at North Texas State Teachers College, Denton, Texas, and at the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor. She studied under Conrad Bos at the Juilliard School of Music, New York City. While attending Eastman School of Music, Rochester, N. Y., where she received her master's degree in 1941, Mrs. Flinders was soloist with the Rochester civic orchestra. She played the role of Carmen in the Eastman Theater production of Bizet's opera, was prominent in radio broadcasts and was contralto soloist in presentations of Mendelssohn's Elijah. An interesting event in Nadine's music career was her appearance as contralto soloist in a Messiah presentation in Hibiya Hall, Toyko, where her husband, Dale J. Flinders, '39, a major in the airforce, was stationed for a time in World War II. Mr. Stewart is an instructor in voice at the Morningside Conservatory of Music and has won favor in several oratorio appearances here. For several seasons he has been baritone soloist with the touring Morningside College acapella Choir. Mr. Kelsey, a graduate of Morningside Conservatory, now is teaching music in Nebraska. He was heard frequently in concerts, theatrical and radio appearances in this area while attending college. Mr. Kelsey's quality had sweetness; Mrs. MacCollin's, a clarity emphasized by her Gala Affair meticulous technique; Mrs. Flinder's smoothness and coordination, and Mr. Stewart's flexibility, essential to the baritone score. They and the chorus sang devoutly, with some spots of special greatness, such as Mrs. MacCollin's restrained interpretation to the Recitative, There Were Shepherds; Mrs. Flinders' poignant, He Shall Feed His Flock; Mr. Kelsey's Recitative, He That Dwelleth in Heaven, and Mr. Stewart's Air, The People That Walked in Darkness. The chorus, too, manifested tone balance, resiliency and sincerity, attaining a brilliant finale in the Amen as well as spirit, in the Hallelujah chorus. SIG RHOS TO HA VE REUNION Virgil Williams, '31, writes from Wrangell, Alaska that several Sigma Theta Rho fraternity alums have started making plans for a reunion at Homecoming in October, 1950. All former Sig Rhos should take note and plan accordingly. YOUNG PIANIST PLAYS HERE Playing Ludwig von Beethoven's Emperor concerto for piano and orchestra, Jean Casadesus, renowned 22-year old pianist, was guest soloist in a concert with the Sioux City symphony orchestra, Leo Kucinski, conducting, December 12 at the Orpheum theater. The young artist, who bears a name in musical history, was born in Paris, July 7, 1927, the son of Robert and Gaby Casadesus, both noted pianists. He has won first prize medals in the Philadelphia Orchestra Youth contest (1946) and the International Concert at Geneva, Switzerland (1948). Mr. Casadesus has studied abroad, particularly with Nadia Boulanger, as well as in the states. The Sioux City Symphony accompanied the concerto and opened the concert with the "Overture to Iphigene" and "Aulide" by Gluck. The last half of the concert programmed some waltzes by Josef Strauss and "Fiddle Tunes" by a contemporary American composer, George McKay. The "Overture to Rienzi" by Wagner was the final number.

The formal dinner party Page 3 1949 Alice took graduate work in guidance at the University of Colorado. Mrs. Dawson's topic was "Its an Art". Among other things, Alice stated: "Anything we do, including the achievement of seemingly insignificant goals we set for ourselves, can be an art". The speaker drew such comparisons as those between Christian Dior, Parisian couturier, and "the 4-H girl with her homemade suit," and between Grandma Moses, American primitive artist, and "the winner of the recent community fund poster contest", and said that there is art in each instance. "There is art in little things: In presiding at a meeting, in playing basketball, in having fun and laughing and in making those three most difficult statements: Please, I'm Sorry and Thank You." Miss Helen Ann Bartram, president of Agora, presided at the dinner and introduced Mrs. Dawson and special guests who were Dr. and Mrs. Roadman, Miss Lillian E. Dimmitt, women members of the faculty and previous speakers at Leadership dinners. A musical program was presented by students of the Morningside conservatory of music.

This is the third time that a Morningside gridder has been so honored. Leon Johnson, '18, now deceased, first gained little Connie Callahan all-American recognition in 1919 after a season on the famous squad that forced Notre Dame to a hard-won victory. The award was made on the strength of his trem endous performance in this tilt. Steve Smilanich won similar honors from the guard position on the Maroon's 1940 squad. Probably rio other Maroon gridder has had the publicity that has showered Connie. His gridiron f eats surpassed many leading· players of national fame. Connie's most outstanding a chievem ent was the season's total yards, 2006, the second highest in the history of collegiate football. Other impressive statistics reveal that Connie pl ayed 650 minutes out of a possible 660 for the season. H e scored 96 points and was the nation's fourth best punter with a 43.7 yards per kick average. His passing percentage for the season was a neat .544 ' with 55 completions for 103 attempts. 1949 against each other in the first clinic game of the evening . An interesting sidelight of the clinic was that a ll the coaches, Francis Jones of Sioux Center, I val Outhouse of Moorhead, Chuck Obye of Wayne an d Al Buckingham of Morningside, plus all the officia ls Mark McLarnan, "Whitey" Rosenberi er, Lowell Crippen, and Fred Share were Morningside gradua t es. The f eature game was played on even t erms the fir st nine minutes, the lead changing hands fiv e times, until Bob Brock dropped a long shot making it 10 to 9 and put the Morningsider s ahead to stay. John Wiedenfeld and Clayton Bristow teamed in the second quarter to give Morningside a 27 to 20 halftime advantage. The first eight minutes of the second half proved to be a replica of the opening minutes of th e game. The Wildcats matched the Maroons basket for basket, but Bristow, Doug Gresham and Bob Norris opened a drive which quickly provided a 13-point gap and as one time in the last period produced a 23-point lead, 61 to 38. Wayne cut the deficit by eight points in the last four minutes, playing against a reserve Morningside lineup . Norris received th e evening's individual scoring honors boasting 16 points, Bristow and Wiedenfeld counted for 13 and 11 respectively. Although playing only about 12 minutes, Gr esham n etted n in e points to turn in a noteworthy performance.

RIVER FALLS WIN GAME IN NEW GYM The nation 's most proficient point-getter in the history of basketball, Nate De Long, broke the shackles in the second half to lea d River Falls Teachers to a 56 to 43 victory over Morningside in the opening game at Allee gymnasium. The Falcon ace counted 24 points, bringing his all-time collegiate total to 2,253 points. It was a spinetingling ball game the first half, with Clayton Bristow outplaying his more famous rival by a wide margin. The Morningside ace collected his fourth personal foul rather early in the second, half however, and was unable to press De Long as closely as he had before that point. The littl e extra edge was all De Long needed. Big Nate foul ed out himself with eight minutes to go. Earlier Morningside had lost the services of Bob Norris for the same r eason. 'T he score was tied four times before J ohnny Williams put Morningside ahead for the first time, 11 to 10, on a long shot with 8 1/ 2 minutes played. T he Maroons, with Bristow, John Wiedenfe1d and finally Norris h andling the point-making chores, remained ahead until seconds before halftime when Harry Gibbs scored on a tip-in to tie the count at 27-all as the teams left the floor. Early in the second half Morningside h a d a 31 to 29 advantage but De Long took charge at this point and personally account ed for 15 of the Falcon's next 16 points, all coming while Morningside DE CE MBER, starved on a skimpy di et of a single tip-in by Bristow.

Six foot, three inch center, Clayton Bristow, again was the deciding margin. The flashy pivotman, tallest of the Morningside r egulars with ailing Dick Wiedenfeld, out, cut loose with six fi eld goals and canned seven of a dozen free throw att empts to nail down scoring honors for the evening with 19. The Wildcats made a fight of it for the first half, then f ell behind as the rangier Sioux Cityans grabbed the advantage the final 20 minutes. The lead changed hands several times befor e the Maroons moved into a 29 to 27 advantage 15 seconds before the intermission on a hook shot by Bristow. Bristow, aided by Loren Moll, Johnny Williams and John Wiedenfeld, continued to hit during the second half as the Maroons maintained their lead. ALUMNUS THANKS MORNINGSIDE COLLEGE In a letter t o Dr. Roadma n, Harry A. Chipman, ex'l3, of Spring Valley, Minn., expresses beautifully, sentiments which we are sure are those of a great many other Morningsider s. We quote from his letter: "We have just finish ed a bountiful Thanksgiving dinn er surrounded by family a nd friends, and I have been doing a bit of thinking-thinking about h ow good God has been to us. "Naturally we would like to be in better h ea lth. But aside from that we have been showered with an abundance of good things for which we are very grateful. And, as I count my blessings, I am never unmindful of that intangible something I got at Morningside and which influenced my life so gr eatly. As I look back upon that experience now, I have the feeling that my charact er and my whole outlook on life was pretty much det ermined right there on that campus. "In return for all this I paid the sum of $17.00 a semester. But how much was it really worth? How much has it been worth to m e and to the hundreds of young men and women who h ave been in my organization the past thirty-five years and who have looked to m e for guidance a nd leadership? Gayly wrapped gifts under the tree were placd there by the girls in Dimmitt Hall for needy children of the city. Charmaine Reed of Albion, Neb.; LaMoyne Messenger of Woodbine, Ia., and Mary Lo,u Gunderson of Bradgate, Ia., arrange the gifts before . arty time. p I say thi s unblushingly, because, as I have told you before, I did not carry away a whole lot of factual information from Morningside, but I did carry away some convictions about m oral character , decency, and the value of one's soul. Well, just try to calcul at e the amount of tuit ion that should be charged for that! CAMPUS VISITORS "What I am . trying to say is that this extra curricular, which do es not even appear in your catalogue, ·and for wh ich n o credits are r ecorded, is in fact a major subject at Morningside. And so, on this Thanksgiving day I want to express my g ratitude for the opportunity I had of a ttendin g Morningside Coll ege."

Hoeven of the Eighth Iowa district. It originally had been delivered before a house breakfast group July 28. Mr. Hoeven said that although the house has heard many fine speeches, Mr. Davenport's was "one of the finest dealing with a subject in which every person in America should be vitally interested." "This is my family creed," Mr. Davenport told the breakfast group: "I believe in the American family, 1949, because it fosters courtesy and understanding. "I believe in the American family, 1949, because it is the time capsule of devotion to democracy and the republican form of government. "I believe in the American family, 1949, because it maintains Christ's gift of th e fatherhood of God and the brotherhood of man. "I believe in the American family, 1949, because it is based on love." Mr. Hoeven reminded the congressmen that Mr. Davenport last year was awarded the title "father of the year" by the Washington Post." Samuel is assistant to the house coordinator of information. Page 8 DE CE MBER, 1949 in Fort Dodge where she attended grade and high schools, and came to Sioux City first as a student at Morningside College. Happie was graduated from Morningside in 1923 and went on to the Kansas ·City National Training School for Christian Workers. She planned to become a deaconness. During this period she became ill. A forgotten accident of years before-a playmate had struck her with a hammock and she had been thrown backward on her head -asserted itself in the form of a loss of equilibrium, which eventually necessitated surgery. For awhile after that she worked from her Fort Dodge home a s a deaconness' assistant. Five years ago Miss Smith moved to Sioux City. Three years ago she found herself unable to walk alone. The Happie Holders and the chenille rugs have been her answer to two questions, what to do with her days and how to augment her income. Sold for a nominal price, they were offered with other articles made by Iowa handicapped persons, November 9, 10 and 11 at the Younker-Davidson store. Rev.

The Morningsider Volume 08, Number 04 was published for the month of December in 1949. The condition of this issue leaves something to be desired and it has seen much better days. One of the issues includes the crease in the middle of the pages, which indicates that it had once been folded in half, but then there is another one just below it that creates a ridge in the paper and makes some of the text hard to see. There are also multiples smudge marks that almost entirely obscure text, along with three hole punches along the inner side of the pages. There's also rips and tears on the pages and binding, and also more folds and such. Overall, the condition of this issue is good, but it does have its problems.

E. Church at Algona on Monday evening, February third. A very fine two-course dinner was served by the Women's Foreign Missionary Society. Following a brief social hour a business meeting was held with the Reverand W. H. Lease as chair man. Several talks were given by members of the company with the result that a proposed organization of Algona alumni and ex-students was perfect ed, Mrs. W. H. Lease being elect ed president of the group and Bertha Godfrey secretary.

Strain from Sioux City, Iowa; the Reverend Mr. Clifton of Burt, Iowa; and Mr. and Mrs. Harry White of Klemme, Iowa. An other meeting is planned for sometime early in the spring, when an effort will be made to bring in all of the former students and alumni of Morningside College for a dinner. The Des Moines Club A meeting of the Des Moines Morningside Club was held on January 30, when President Mossman and Dr. J. J. Bushnell were visitors in Des Moines. This club has an annual meeting and usually a picnic during the summer which is attended by a large group. Bertha Lamereaux, '25, is president of the Morningside Club in Des Moines and has been instrumental in working up a fine group there. Members of the Des Moines Morningside Club and their addresses are as follows: Mrs. Byron Boyd, 3007 Grand Avenue ; Margaret Ferguson, 4015 University Avenue ; Paul Freeburn, 2832 Battleboro; Mrs. C.

C., had a pleasant reunion dinner upon the occasion of President Mossman's visit to the capital city. This was only the second, meeting of the Washington group, but the members have found the event an occasion for wholesome exchange of past and present experience for Morningside students and faculty members of three decades. Those present at the dinner on January 16 were: Ralph Root, '01, Head of the Department of Mathematics, United States Naval Acadamy, and Mrs. Root; Dr. John R. Green, Professor of Physics at Morningside 1901-03, and Mrs. Green (Anna Hollingsworth), '05; Mrs. S. H.

Storm Lake Club The following account of the organization of the Storm Lake Morningside Club on February 6 was sent in by Jennie Skewis, secretary of the club. The dinner at was followed by of college days. Breaw of Sioux the Hotel Bradford speeches reminiscent The Reverend W. L. Rapids was capable master of ceremonies and introduced Dr. M. E. Graber, Miss Lillian Dimmitt, Dr. Bushnell, and President Mossman. Several others addressed the group. Dr. Mossman, as the last speaker, suggested that a permanent club be organized, and outlined the purpose and benefits of such an organization. The result was that an organization was effected with the Reverend W. L. Breaw, Sioux Rapids, president; Jennie Skewis, secretary; and a representative in each town. These representatives are as follows: Minnie Anderson, Alta; Edith Held, Marathon; W. L. Breaw, Sioux Rapids; Dorothy Mueller, Newell; Mrs. Frank Hinde, Early; the Reverend Mr. Rasmussen, Nemaha; Mrs. Douglas Woodruff, Storm Lake; Imogene Gilbert, Cherokee; Joe Lockin, Aurelia; Mrs. Harry Covey, Rembrandt; Emil Witter, Varina; and Bert Scharr, Truesdale. Owing to the fact that the date chosen for the meeting was somewhat unfortunate, there were only seventeen present. Those attending from Morningside College were President Frank E. Mossman, Dean Lillian Dimmitt, Dean Myron E. Graber, and Dr. J. J. Bushnell; from Storm Lake, Dr. and Mrs. O. M. Bond, Dr. and Mrs. J. H. O'Donoghue, Mr. and Mrs. Pitstick, Mrs. Douglas Woodruff, Charles Skewis, and the Misses Jennie Skewis, Opal Gaffey, and Ruth Zinn; and from Sioux Rapids the Reverend Mr. Breaw and Mrs. Breaw. This Storm Lake group looks forward with the hope that every Morningside College graduate and ex-student in its territory will become interested and help to make the meetings of the club occasions of great pleasure and benefit. 40 �THE ALUMNI NEWS LETTER February, 1930 Sheldon Club The Sheldon group of Morningsiders met in the home of Ben Riner and his wife on Tuesday evening, February 4, for a social time with Miss Lillian Dimmitt and A. B. Gehring as guests. A Sheldon Club was organized with F. H. Chandler as president and Dr. G. I. Noe as secretary. Dr. Noe says in his report, "A part of the evening was spent in telling about old times, and Miss Dimmitt could remember us and a good many facts about us-some rather embarrassing to us, but fun for the rest of the company. After an enjoyable evening refreshments were served by the Riners, and we all departed for our respective homes, hoping that we should have other such meetings and feeling ourselves in a closer contact with dear old Morningside College." The Morningside College life has been brought closer to the graduates and ex-students through this medium of Morningside Clubs, and we hope that more of them may be organized in other parts of the state. Fort Dodge Club The Fort Dodge Morningside Club organization followed an interesting meeting and discussion in the Riverside Church basement in Fort Dodge on January 10. A Maroon and White color scheme made a beautiful setting for the Morningside dinner, which was held for alumni and ex-students of the Fort Dodge territory. Following the dinner informal talks were given by various members of the group followed by a "Question Box" regarding the College and its activities. Following this a motion was made to organize a Morningside Club in Fort Dodge with the result that such a club was formed with John V. Madison as president, and Marguerite Held Benz as secretary. An executive committee was named by the group, which includes: John Kolp, Manson; Mrs. Earl Hicks, Rockwell City; Lloyd Scheerer, Gowrie; Elizabeth Oggel, Webster City; Winifred Share, Humboldt; Mrs. Wentz, Eagle Grove; Abe De Vaul, Rolfe; and Margaret MacIntosh of Livermore. The Club spirit is noted in this little greeting: "This newly organized club sends greetings to all other Morningside Clubs. We are all working for a Greater Morningside College." Those present at the organization of the Fort Dodge group were: Mrs. H. D. Africa, Marguerite Held Benz, John V. Madison, Mrs. John V. Madison, Mrs. Clair Sherwood, James I. Dolliver, Mrs. E. C. McDade, Margaret G. Dolliver, Bob Maher, Mrs. Bob Maher, Elizabeth Turner, Mrs. R. E. Heal, Mrs. Gertrude Martin, and Margaret Jordan, all of Fort Dodge; Earl Hicks, Mrs. Earl Hicks, D. C. McKinney, and Ruth McKinney, of Rockwell City; Ada Barkley, C. R. Reynolds, and Mrs. C. R. Reynolds of Farnhamville; and Elbert Sebern, Mrs. Elbert Sebern, John D. Kolp, Mrs. John D. Kolp, Roy Cox, and Mrs. Roy Cox of Manson. Representatives of the College who attended the Fort Dodge meeting were President Frank E. Mossman, Dean Lillian Dimmitt, Dr. J. J. Bushnell, and Lee R. Strain. Pictures of Okoboji Institute Prepared The following is of interest to the pastors of Epworth Leagues that have had delegations at the Epworth League Institute at the Methodist Camp in Spirit Lake: A group of sixty colored lantern slides has been prepared for the use of Epworth Leagues to help stimulate interest for attendance at the Institute this year. Most of the slides are either views of the Methodist Camp or of West Okoboji. There are included also several group pictures from the different years of the Institute. A part of the slides were sent out to the various leagues two years ago, but this set has been revised and several new scenes added so that the present collection of slides is not only larger but better than the former one. A lecture accompanies the set of slides and may be used or not as the pastor desires. The rental fee for the slides is $2.50 plus the postage to the next place of showing. This amount is easily raised by a collection at the time of showing. Pastors will find that showing the slides is a delightful way of presenting the Institute to their young people. Those interested should take the matter up with their leagues at once and reserve a date for showing the slides. Letters will be answered promptly and dates reserved in the order received. A second choice for a date should always be made in case the first date has been taken. remember-first come. first served. Address W. W. Witt, 1710 Morningside Avenue, Sioux City, Iowa. Spencer Club A large group of Morningside College alumni and ex-students met in the Tangney Hotel in Spencer on February 4 for a reunion and spent an enjoyable two hours together talking over times when one or another of them had placed a "bean shower" in the fourth floor and engaged in various other interesting affairs. Each member was called on by the chairman to tell his name, class, and occupation. This roll-call proved quite interesting to the group. Following several informal talks the group decided to organize a permanent club, which is called the Spencer Morningside Club. Archie Freeman was elected president and Nelle Cullen secretary. Representatives for each town were chosen as an executive committee. Those present at the dinner included: Edna Sheneberger, Henrietta Squaires, Nelle Cullen, Zelda Baldwin, Mrs. Torbert, Lila Stone. Lula Stone, Ruth Stone, Dale Norton, Harold Raun, Mrs. Harold Raun, Archie Freeman, Mrs. Archie Freeman, Claude Baldwin, Mr. and Mrs. Archie Tompkins, Dr. Clegg, Mrs. Fulton, President Frank E. Mossman, Dr. J. J. Bushnell, Dean M. E. Graber, and Lee R. Strain. The group plans to have an annual dinner together and a picnic during the summer. Minnesota U Club Professor J. W. Hoffmann, head of the Department of History, and Professor H. G. Campbell, head of the Department of Psychology, were guests at a luncheon given by a group of former Morningside College students at the University of Minnesota, on January 31. The professors were attending the International Congress at the University. The former Morningside College students who attended the luncheon were Edgar A. Schuler, an instructor in the University of Minnesota, Ruth V. Schuler, Burnell Koolish, Gus Vizas, Egerton Ballachey, Pablo V. Cabotaje, Godfredo Cabotaje, and Mr. and Mrs. Bert L. Tollard. The University of Minnesota maintains a central post-office for its students, acording to Professor Campbell, where all communications will reach these students. We are glad that Morningsiders attending the University of Minnesota still retain their love for Morningside College and hope that they will remain in constant touch with the College. �February, 1930 THE ALUMNI NEWS LETTER 41 With the passing of the basketball season, which ended with the game in Sioux City between South Dakota State College and Morningside College, the Sioux athletics have taken to the track and field for their sports diversion. The schedule for the season includes interesting track events, such as the annual Iowa Conference Indoor Meet, the Drake Relays, and the North Central Conference Track and Field event. A home meet is being planned by the coaches but just the method of running off the events is undecided. Several lettermen are returning for the track campaign, including members of the powerful relay team of last season, which last year gained several new records. Included in the lettermen are such runners as Captain Wayne Menter, ex-captain Elmer Hansen, Fletcher Kettle, and Clarence Bale. These four men compose the relay team which won first honors in the half-mile and mile relay events at Drake University and in the North Central Conference meet. Ted Johnson is a miler who will return for his last year in competition and should be a point winner in several of this year's events. Menter is the North Central 440 -yard champion as well as holder of the Iowa Conference Indoor record in the same event. Elmer Hansen holds the championship of the North Central in the halfmile event. Bale runs a fast quarter and should place, as he did last year, in several meets as an individual point-getter. Kettle specializes in the short dashes. Kingsbury hurls the javelin nearly as well as anyone in the conference, with the result that he places in practically every meet during the year. Several non-leter men are bidding for places on the varsity, including Jerry Gehrt, weight man; Herb Gotlob, weight man; Johnson, pole-vaulter and broad-jumper; Strong, dash man; Van Wyngarden, hurdler; and Mossman, dash man. Several outstanding men were lost by graduation, including Brinkman, pole-vaulter; Neir, high-jumper; Bartholomew, weight-man; and Williams, two-miler. The schedule issued by the Athletic Department of Morningside College for the 1930 season is as follows : March 29-Iowa Conference Meet Drake Fieldhouse. April 25-26-Drake Relays Des Moines, Iowa. May 3-Dakota Relays Sioux Falls, S. D. May 10-Annual Home Meet Sioux City, Iowa. May 17-South Dakota Dual Meet Sioux City, Iowa. May 24-Iowa Conference Meet Cedar Falls, Iowa. May 30-31- North Central Conference Meet Sioux City, Iowa. Morningside Relay Team Captain-elect Wayne Menter, Kansas City sprinter de luxe, received the honor of being captain of the 1930 edition of Sioux track men. Menter entered Morningside College in the fall of 1926 and won the 440-yard dash in his freshman year. During that time he has been a member of the four horsemen, the relay team that has never been equalled in Sioux history. Mentor is record holder of the 440- yard dash in both the North Central Conference and the Iowa Conference, besides holding the all-time record of 440-yard runners in Morningside College. Menter will be running his third year in the Maroon uniform. New records are in danger with all four members of the relay team back and two new men ready to take their part without damaging the time record. Ex-captain Elmer Hansen has established himself as one of the best track men ever to race across the Morningside College cinder path. During his four years in Morningside College, Hansen has established a new record for the half-mile. He has been a member first of the freshman realay team that won the North Central freshman mile relay; and then, as a member of the varsity relay teams, he aided in setting a new record at the Drake Relays in the half-mile relay in 1928. In 1929 the quartet of which he is a member won both the mile and the half-mile relay races. A new record was set in both events, this team being the only one to set two new records in one day at the relays. Hansen runs the half-mile as an individual race and runs on the two relay teams. �42 THE ALUMNI NEWS LETTER February, 1930 The Budget That Did Not Balance Estimated receipts for 1930-31 ----------------$185,800 Estimated disbursements --------------------- 198,821 Deficit ---------------------------------$ 13,021 Let's Balance This Budget Balancing the Budget The Scylla and Charybdis of College Financing While Ulysses and his mariners watched the rock Charybdis at the famous whirlpool on the Cicilian coast, the monster Scylla darted out her wicked head and seized six of the unfortunate sailors. Homer says that Ulysses was impotent to give them aid. The ancient world knew well the dilemma of Scylla and Charybdis. If you avoid the rock on the left side of the whirlpool of life, you are in imminent danger of being wrecked on the rock on the right side; an if you avoid the rock on the right you are wrecked on the rock on the left. An old-time lesson in college financing was experienced last week by the College Board of Trustees. It was again the dilemma of rocks Scylla and Charybdis. They faced the old dilemma that if you lower the expenses of operation the College to meet the income, you are apt to wreck the institution on the rock of inefficiency. At the present time the income is too small. If you maintain the high level of efficiency with the present operating epense, you incur indebtedness that you ought not, and must not, incur. In financing the College, this is the dilemma Scylla and Charybdis. The Board of Trustees found that when every corner had been cut, every budget pared to the limit, and every possible excess item eliminated, still the proposed budget for 1930-31 was $13,000 short of balancing. They naturally refused to vote a budget that carried with it a 13,000 deficit. In fact, the Board steadfastly refused to vote a budget that carried with it any deficit at all. To those inexperienced in the building of college budgets it would seem a simple matter to make ends meet. The naive method of the inexperienced always is: "You simply cut down expenses to meet the income," and "presto! change!" your budget is balanced. Unfortunately the balance is not struck so easily. There are two attacks to be made in trimming a college budget. You may begin at the property end, or you may begin at the personnel end of the budget. Below a certain point you cannot go with the property end trimming. You must have coal for instance, and the price of coal is a fixed matter. If you have coal, its price is about so much. Repairs for the heating plant are fairly uniform. When you have pared property expenditures to a certain point the only place left to cut down is the salaries of your faculty. This is the human end of the budget. Here at the human end of the budget you must remember that if you cut too deeply you impair the efficiency of your teaching staff. Your most desirable members are lured away. You can not build a first-class college out of a second-rate faculty. There are are limits past which you trim the human element at the peril of efficiency. Balancing the budget at the expense of the personnel of the faculty is often of doubtful wisdom. The College Trustees toiled two days in committees and Board Session. The difference between the irreducible minimum of expenditure and the income that could be estimated as safe and probable was $13,000. The proposed budget for 1930-31 was as follows: Estimated receipts including tuition and endowment income $185,800. Estimated disbursements including salaries, operation and maintenance of the physical plant $198,821. The deficit in such a budget would be $13,021. Late in the day President Mossman suggested that we adjourn to meet in 30 days and that in the meantime he be given the task of raising a Sustentation Fund of $13,000 per year for a period of three years. This would provide for the budget on the present high level of efficiency and still balance the income over against the expense of operating, and give the Trustees a chance to make other adjustments. He proposed five possible sources of income for a General Sustentation Fund; viz, Trustees -------------- $2,500 Faculty --------------- $1,000 Alumni and former students ----------------------- $2,500 Patrons --------------- $2,000 Sioux City ----------- $10,000 After deducting the overlapping in these several groups there will be $13,000 left. The Board accepted the President's suggestion and adjourned to meet March 26. Does anyone doubt that the President has a task on hand during these 30 days? Every friend of the College will want to come to his help. Instantly certain members of the Board said, "We will help." Some put down $100 per year, others smaller sums. Faculty members responded by pledging $1,000. They have already written up a considerable block of it. A number of patrons will give $100 per year for a three-year period. Some will suggest lesser amounts. The alumni and former student groups will not lag. They will pledge from their benevolence budget some $100 per year, some $50 per year, $25, $10, or $5. Everyone will do something. The Board adjourned "to meet in 30 days." The time is short. President Mossman has a big order given him by his Board. The writer of these lines has already signed a pledge like the one opposite. Come on in! Trim out this form. Fill it in and mail it now. Make your pledge payoble some time between September 1, and December 31, of each year. DO IT NOW! Yours for a balanced budget and a bigger and better Morningside J. J. Bushnell Dean of Extension February, 1930 �THE ALUMNI NEWS LETTER 43 LET'S BALANCE THE BUDGET! Feb. 26, 1930. To the Alumni and Former Students of Morningside College: My dear Friends: Your institution and mine is meeting a crisis in her history. The question is one of efficency. Shall we continue as a first-class college? The many hundreds of alumni and former students located in many different sections of our own country and countries of the world, under many different conditions, will read this common appeal. If immediate and concerted action, in whatever amount we feel ourselves able to give, is taken by each individual, it will help to meet this crisis. Each of the groups indicated is responding before the appeal has been made public. Many pledges have already come in. Let every Morningsider stand and be counted. Send, and send at once.

Price "'A college in a cornfield!' "The situation was clear enough, and his soul revolted from the irony of it all. Then the thought came, What if God should call you to this college? Would you be willing to come and build a college here?' He knelt down there in the cornfield and asked to be forgiven for his false pride. He promised the Lord that he would respond to the call of building a college even here, should that call come." So runs the incident in the life story of Bishop Wilson Seeley Lewis, a book recently issued from the Verstegen Press, Sioux City, Iowa, published by Morningside College, and written by Dr. Ida Belle Lewis of Hwa Nan College, Foochow, China. This biography has a fascinating subject, and it is peculiarly fortunate that the author is one who bears the intimate and sympathetic relationship of daughter to this teacher, organizer, college president, bishop of the Methodist Episcopal Church, missionary·, and leader and lover of men. The account follows him through all the different avenues of a diversified career; abounds in outstanding facts, apt illustrations, personal incident, and interesting episode; and presents in a complete and attractive form the entire life of this great and good man. The chapter "The Heart of a Father," with its vivid and touching home scenes; will reach the heart of every parent. The chapters revealing the early struggles, growth, and victories of Morningside College will strengthen and inspire all who continue in his labors for this institution of learning. The "Journeys in China" and "The Task" will throw light on the t oils and burdens of missionaries the world over, and imbue all the missionary-minded with renewed purpose and zeal "The Great Colleague" reveals the mighty copartnership of two souls in empire building for the Kingdom - Bishop Bashford and Bishop Lewis. "The New Morning" depicts the closing scenes of this great life. Chapter XI records the "Tribute of the Conference" to which he belonged, the Northwest Iowa Conference. Bishop Lewis was a man of prayer. From the time when as a child he lispingly repeated the words of his father, "O Lawd, pashy" [compassion], until the end of life, he prayed. Some of these prayers. have been included at the close of the biography and form indeed a fitting and beautiful ending to the book, revealing as they do the Source of energy and strength of his radiant and powerful life. Educators, missionaries, ministers, neighbors, and friends will all wish to own a personal copy of the biography Bishop Wilson Seeley Lewis.

A Maroon and White color scheme made a beautiful setting for the Morningside dinner, which was held for alumni and ex-students of the Fort Dodge territory.

Strain. Pictures of Okoboji Institute Prepared The following is of interest to the pastors of Epworth Leagues that have had delegations at the Epworth League Institute at the Methodist Camp in Spirit Lake: A group of sixty colored lantern slides has been prepared for the use of Epworth Leagues to help stimulate interest for attendance at the Institute this year. Most of the slides are either views of the Methodist Camp or of West Okoboji. There are included also several group pictures from the different years of the Institute. A part of the slides were sent out to the various leagues two years ago, but this set has been revised and several new scenes added so that the present collection of slides is not only larger but better than the former one. A lecture accompanies the set of slides and may be used or not as the pastor desires. The rental fee for the slides is $2.50 plus the postage to the next place of showing. This amount is easily raised by a collection at the time of showing. Pastors will find that showing the slides is a delightful way of presenting the Institute to their young people. Those interested should take the matter up with their leagues at once and reserve a date for showing the slides. Letters will be answered promptly and dates reserved in the order received. A second choice for a date should always be made in case the first date has been taken. remember-first come. first served. Address W. W. Witt, 1710 Morningside Avenue, Sioux City, Iowa. Spencer Club A large group of Morningside College alumni and ex-students met in the Tangney Hotel in Spencer on February 4 for a reunion and spent an enjoyable two hours together talking over times when one or another of them had placed a "bean shower" in the fourth floor and engaged in various other interesting affairs. Each member was called on by the chairman to tell his name, class, and occupation. This roll-call proved quite interesting to the group. Following several informal talks the group decided to organize a permanent club, which is called the Spencer Morningside Club. Archie Freeman was elected president and Nelle Cullen secretary. Representatives for each town were chosen as an executive committee. Those present at the dinner included: Edna Sheneberger, Henrietta Squaires, Nelle Cullen, Zelda Baldwin, Mrs. Torbert, Lila Stone. Lula Stone, Ruth Stone, Dale Norton, Harold Raun, Mrs. Harold Raun, Archie Freeman, Mrs. Archie Freeman, Claude Baldwin, Mr. and Mrs. Archie Tompkins, Dr. Clegg, Mrs. Fulton, President Frank E. Mossman, Dr. J. J. Bushnell, Dean M. E. Graber, and Lee R. Strain. The group plans to have an annual dinner together and a picnic during the summer. Minnesota U Club Professor J. W. Hoffmann, head of the Department of History, and Professor H. G. Campbell, head of the Department of Psychology, were guests at a luncheon given by a group of former Morningside College students at the University of Minnesota, on January 31. The professors were attending the International Congress at the University. The former Morningside College students who attended the luncheon were Edgar A. Schuler, an instructor in the University of Minnesota, Ruth V. Schuler, Burnell Koolish, Gus Vizas, Egerton Ballachey, Pablo V. Cabotaje, Godfredo Cabotaje, and Mr. and Mrs. Bert L. Tollard. The University of Minnesota maintains a central post-office for its students, acording to Professor Campbell, where all communications will reach these students. We are glad that Morningsiders attending the University of Minnesota still retain their love for Morningside College and hope that they will remain in constant touch with the College. February, 1930 THE ALUMNI NEWS LETTER 41 With the passing of the basketball season, which ended with the game in Sioux City between South Dakota State College and Morningside College, the Sioux athletics have taken to the track and field for their sports diversion. The schedule for the season includes interesting track events, such as the annual Iowa Conference Indoor Meet, the Drake Relays, and the North Central Conference Track and Field event. A home meet is being planned by the coaches but just the method of running off the events is undecided. Several lettermen are returning for the track campaign, including members of the powerful relay team of last season, which last year gained several new records. Included in the lettermen are such runners as Captain Wayne Menter, ex-captain Elmer Hansen, Fletcher Kettle, and Clarence Bale. These four men compose the relay team which won first honors in the half-mile and mile relay events at Drake University and in the North Central Conference meet. Ted Johnson is a miler who will return for his last year in competition and should be a point winner in several of this year's events. Menter is the North Central 440 -yard champion as well as holder of the Iowa Conference Indoor record in the same event. Elmer Hansen holds the championship of the North Central in the halfmile event. Bale runs a fast quarter and should place, as he did last year, in several meets as an individual point-getter. Kettle specializes in the short dashes. Kingsbury hurls the javelin nearly as well as anyone in the conference, with the result that he places in practically every meet during the year. Several non-leter men are bidding for places on the varsity, including Jerry Gehrt, weight man; Herb Gotlob, weight man; Johnson, pole-vaulter and broad-jumper; Strong, dash man; Van Wyngarden, hurdler; and Mossman, dash man. Several outstanding men were lost by graduation, including Brinkman, pole-vaulter; Neir, high-jumper; Bartholomew, weight-man; and Williams, two-miler. The schedule issued by the Athletic Department of Morningside College for the 1930 season is as follows : March 29-Iowa Conference Meet Drake Fieldhouse. April 25-26-Drake Relays Des Moines, Iowa. May 3-Dakota Relays Sioux Falls, S. D. May 10-Annual Home Meet Sioux City, Iowa. May 17-South Dakota Dual Meet Sioux City, Iowa. May 24-Iowa Conference Meet Cedar Falls, Iowa. May 30-31- North Central Conference Meet Sioux City, Iowa. Morningside Relay Team Captain-elect Wayne Menter, Kansas City sprinter de luxe, received the honor of being captain of the 1930 edition of Sioux track men. Menter entered Morningside College in the fall of 1926 and won the 440-yard dash in his freshman year. During that time he has been a member of the four horsemen, the relay team that has never been equalled in Sioux history. Mentor is record holder of the 440- yard dash in both the North Central Conference and the Iowa Conference, besides holding the all-time record of 440-yard runners in Morningside College. Menter will be running his third year in the Maroon uniform. New records are in danger with all four members of the relay team back and two new men ready to take their part without damaging the time record. Ex-captain Elmer Hansen has established himself as one of the best track men ever to race across the Morningside College cinder path. During his four years in Morningside College, Hansen has established a new record for the half-mile. He has been a member first of the freshman realay team that won the North Central freshman mile relay; and then, as a member of the varsity relay teams, he aided in setting a new record at the Drake Relays in the half-mile relay in 1928. In 1929 the quartet of which he is a member won both the mile and the half-mile relay races. A new record was set in both events, this team being the only one to set two new records in one day at the relays. Hansen runs the half-mile as an individual race and runs on the two relay teams. 42 THE ALUMNI NEWS LETTER February, 1930 The Budget That Did Not Balance Estimated receipts for 1930-31 ----------------$185,800 Estimated disbursements --------------------- 198,821 Deficit ---------------------------------$ 13,021 Let's Balance This Budget Balancing the Budget The Scylla and Charybdis of College Financing While Ulysses and his mariners watched the rock Charybdis at the famous whirlpool on the Cicilian coast, the monster Scylla darted out her wicked head and seized six of the unfortunate sailors. Homer says that Ulysses was impotent to give them aid. The ancient world knew well the dilemma of Scylla and Charybdis. If you avoid the rock on the left side of the whirlpool of life, you are in imminent danger of being wrecked on the rock on the right side; an if you avoid the rock on the right you are wrecked on the rock on the left. An old-time lesson in college financing was experienced last week by the College Board of Trustees. It was again the dilemma of rocks Scylla and Charybdis. They faced the old dilemma that if you lower the expenses of operation the College to meet the income, you are apt to wreck the institution on the rock of inefficiency. At the present time the income is too small. If you maintain the high level of efficiency with the present operating epense, you incur indebtedness that you ought not, and must not, incur. In financing the College, this is the dilemma Scylla and Charybdis. The Board of Trustees found that when every corner had been cut, every budget pared to the limit, and every possible excess item eliminated, still the proposed budget for 1930-31 was $13,000 short of balancing. They naturally refused to vote a budget that carried with it a 13,000 deficit. In fact, the Board steadfastly refused to vote a budget that carried with it any deficit at all. To those inexperienced in the building of college budgets it would seem a simple matter to make ends meet. The naive method of the inexperienced always is: "You simply cut down expenses to meet the income," and "presto! change!" your budget is balanced. Unfortunately the balance is not struck so easily. There are two attacks to be made in trimming a college budget. You may begin at the property end, or you may begin at the personnel end of the budget. Below a certain point you cannot go with the property end trimming. You must have coal for instance, and the price of coal is a fixed matter. If you have coal, its price is about so much. Repairs for the heating plant are fairly uniform. When you have pared property expenditures to a certain point the only place left to cut down is the salaries of your faculty. This is the human end of the budget. Here at the human end of the budget you must remember that if you cut too deeply you impair the efficiency of your teaching staff. Your most desirable members are lured away. You can not build a first-class college out of a second-rate faculty. There are are limits past which you trim the human element at the peril of efficiency. Balancing the budget at the expense of the personnel of the faculty is often of doubtful wisdom. The College Trustees toiled two days in committees and Board Session. The difference between the irreducible minimum of expenditure and the income that could be estimated as safe and probable was $13,000. The proposed budget for 1930-31 was as follows: Estimated receipts including tuition and endowment income $185,800. Estimated disbursements including salaries, operation and maintenance of the physical plant $198,821. The deficit in such a budget would be $13,021. Late in the day President Mossman suggested that we adjourn to meet in 30 days and that in the meantime he be given the task of raising a Sustentation Fund of $13,000 per year for a period of three years. This would provide for the budget on the present high level of efficiency and still balance the income over against the expense of operating, and give the Trustees a chance to make other adjustments. He proposed five possible sources of income for a General Sustentation Fund; viz, Trustees -------------- $2,500 Faculty --------------- $1,000 Alumni and former students ----------------------- $2,500 Patrons --------------- $2,000 Sioux City ----------- $10,000 After deducting the overlapping in these several groups there will be $13,000 left. The Board accepted the President's suggestion and adjourned to meet March 26. Does anyone doubt that the President has a task on hand during these 30 days? Every friend of the College will want to come to his help. Instantly certain members of the Board said, "We will help." Some put down $100 per year, others smaller sums. Faculty members responded by pledging $1,000. They have already written up a considerable block of it. A number of patrons will give $100 per year for a three-year period. Some will suggest lesser amounts. The alumni and former student groups will not lag. They will pledge from their benevolence budget some $100 per year, some $50 per year, $25, $10, or $5. Everyone will do something. The Board adjourned "to meet in 30 days." The time is short. President Mossman has a big order given him by his Board. The writer of these lines has already signed a pledge like the one opposite. Come on in! Trim out this form. Fill it in and mail it now. Make your pledge payoble some time between September 1, and December 31, of each year. DO IT NOW! Yours for a balanced budget and a bigger and better Morningside J. J. Bushnell Dean of Extension February, 1930 THE ALUMNI NEWS LETTER 43 LET'S BALANCE THE BUDGET! Feb. 26, 1930.

Price "'A college in a cornfield!' "The situation was clear enough, and his soul revolted from the irony of it all. Then the thought came, What if God should call you to this college? Would you be willing to come and build a college here?' He knelt down there in the cornfield and asked to be forgiven for his false pride. He promised the Lord that he would respond to the call of building a college even here, should that call come." So runs the incident in the life story of Bishop Wilson Seeley Lewis, a book recently issued from the Verstegen Press, Sioux City, Iowa, published by Morningside College, and written by Dr. Ida Belle Lewis of Hwa Nan College, Foochow, China. This biography has a fascinating subject, and it is peculiarly fortunate that the author is one who bears the intimate and sympathetic relationship of daughter to this teacher, organizer, college president, bishop of the Methodist Episcopal Church, missionary·, and leader and lover of men. The account follows him through all the different avenues of a diversified career; abounds in outstanding facts, apt illustrations, personal incident, and interesting episode; and presents in a complete and attractive form the entire life of this great and good man. The chapter "The Heart of a Father," with its vivid and touching home scenes; will reach the heart of every parent. The chapters revealing the early struggles, growth, and victories of Morningside College will strengthen and inspire all who continue in his labors for this institution of learning. The "Journeys in China" and "The Task" will throw light on the t oils and burdens of missionaries the world over, and imbue all the missionary-minded with renewed purpose and zeal "The Great Colleague" reveals the mighty copartnership of two souls in empire building for the Kingdom - Bishop Bashford and Bishop Lewis. "The New Morning" depicts the closing scenes of this great life. Chapter XI records the "Tribute of the Conference" to which he belonged, the Northwest Iowa Conference. Bishop Lewis was a man of prayer. From the time when as a child he lispingly repeated the words of his father, "O Lawd, pashy" [compassion], until the end of life, he prayed. Some of these prayers. have been included at the close of the biography and form indeed a fitting and beautiful ending to the book, revealing as they do the Source of energy and strength of his radiant and powerful life. Educators, missionaries, ministers, neighbors, and friends will all wish to own a personal copy of the biography Bishop Wilson Seeley Lewis.

Berkshire has worked up a very pretentious schedule and is meeting with very unusual success. Annette Greene is unfolding the secrets of Julius Caesar to her high school students in Pierson, Iowa. She also has several classes in English. Miss Lois Hickman, head of the Department of Public Speaking in Baylor University at Belton, Texas, visited her family in Sioux City during Christmas vacation. Miss Hickman took opportunity for an air trip to Belton, which was made in several hours less than by rail. Anne Aalfs has several classes in English, Latin, and Public Speaking in the Wakonda High School in Wakonda, South Dakota. Miss Aalfs plans to attend Columbia University next year to work on the degree of Master of Arts. Paul Brinkman, instructor and coach in the Avon, South Dakota, High School visits his alma mater several times during the year and reports very successful work in athletics during the fall and winter.

WE NEED ONE HUNDRED PER CENT COOPERATION Work on the Alumni Directory is well under way. At this time next month we hope to have arranged to have a copy in your possession. We want to express our appreciation of the splendid cooperation that those of you who promptly returned the information blanks have given us in this difficult piece of work. There are many addresses that we do not as yet have-m any have not returned the information blanks. Whether or not you pay your dollar it is essential that we have information concerning each one of you as we wish. We know that you, too, want this directory to be complete and accurate. If you have mislaid the information blank sent to you, send us your n ame, class to which you belong, present address, present occupation, and any other information you may wish to include. In order that you m ay realize, as we did upon the return of the information blanks, that there is a strong bond of loyalty among the ever-growing number of alumni and ex-students and to their Alma Mater we are printing a few of the additional remarks and information sent in to us. "I noticed the na me of Mabel Sia in the 'News Letter.' She was in school when I was." "I greatly enjoy the 'News Letter;' often recalls the good days long gone by. I .h ad a fine visit with several Morningside students and also saw Professor Garver at the Iowa picnic- a grand gathering of Iowa folks, 100,000 strong." "If ex-student means college my name does not belong in the directory. Morningside first gave me the vision of a college education. I am proud to be ev.e n an Academy graduate. I shall never forget the inspiration received from Dr. Lewis, Professor Van Horne, and many others." "I h ave often wished for just such a publication as the one which you propose, and will look for its appearance with much eagerness." "I attended Morningside College during the fall and winter months of 1901-02, enrolled in the Normal Department. I love the college." "I have enjoyed reading the Alumni 'News Letter' and shall be glad to receive the Alumni Directory. I think it is needed." "Alumni News is great. Let it grow." "This Alumni Directory, which should include all ex-students, will do more to weld the Alumni together than a nything else you could possibly do." "Nothing preventing, my boy will enter Morningside in 1934." "I think this is a splendid movement." "I favor this directory idea and think new ones should be issued every year or two. The Alumni 'News Letter' is always welcome and the most interesting part is the Alumni Notes." �Over three thou sand N e ws L etter s a r e sen t out each month.

Captain Means ended his collegiate basketball career in a most glorious manner. He scored nine field-goals besides playing a remarkable floor game. Bastian and Eberly, the other two seniors to pl ay their last game, also played well. The entire team starred. COLLEGE NOTES Sherwood Eddy, nationally known author, lecturer, and missionary worker, will be at Morningside college on March 30. Mr. Eddy is being brought to the college under the auspices of the college Y. M. C. A. He has done a great deal of good among college students and consequently he has become one of the bestloved of international student workers. * * * * * Brilliancy was the dominant characteristic exhibited in the piano recital of Cla ra Asmus in the Schmoller & Mueller h all Tuesday evening.

He was very highly regarded in his work here and produced many winnin g debate t eams. The team from Morningside that will oppose the team from the California school is to be composed of women. * * * * * After a dinner at the Y. W. C.

The purpose of the institute was to rediscover the true m eaning of Jesus' principles of life and to inspire those present to take to their home campuses along with these principles the incentive to earnestly apply them in practical every-day campus life. �Morningside College won its seventh consecutive debate when Max Kroloff and Gordon Larson, of Sioux City, won from Colorado College Monday evening on the Morningside platform. Morningside upheld the negative of the question, "Resolved, That the United States Should Cease to Protect by Armed Force Capital Invested in Foreign Lands Expect after Formal Declaration of War." Westley Curtis, of Colorado Springs, Colo., and James Keyser, of Salt Lake City, Utah, debated for Colorodo.

Thomas topped his college classmate, Sergeant Lauren C. McClaren, another member of the Howitzer company, by one point. Gov. John Hammill nominated Thomas. He is a member of the Phi Sigma fraternity. Thomas enlisted in the Howitzer company May 5, 1927. CLASS REUNIONS At this time of the year the word "commencement" suggests to the minds of the Alumni Committee the subject of class reunions. According to our plan, five classes are to hold reunions this year, the classes o,f 1923, 1918, 1913, 1908, and 1903. The class of 1903 have their plans well under way. We have heard them talking about this reunion for more than a year. The other classes will want to be at work soon. All of these classes had secretaries when they were seniors. We are sure that these persons will be glad to get in touch with the Alumni Committee of the Faculty, who are very willing to · elp h make arrangements for the reunions. Secretaries of these classes, please make yourselves known to Mirah Mills, chairman of the Alumni Committee. SMALL MID-YEAR GRADUATING CLASS Morningside College had two members in its mid-year graduation class this year. The two girls, Miss Mabel Nissen, of Iowa Falls, Iowa, and Miss Lillian Lindaman, of Wellsburg, Iowa, are both at their homes at present. �While at Morningside, Miss Nissen was president of the Zetalethean society. This fall she was president of the student governing body of the Dormitory. Miss Lindaman, who was active in Dormitory affairs, was a member of the Athenaeum society, as well as treasurer of Sigma Tau Delta, English literature fraternity. A VISIT TO ETON COLLEGE (Mrs. H. G. Campbell, wife of Professor Campbell, has been kind enough to write an article for the "News Letter" describing her visit to Eton College which I feel every "News" reader will enjoy. Both Professor and Mrs. Campbell have conducted the Morningside Tours for the past number of years.-Editor). Eton College, which is one of England's most famous schools for boys, lies about 25 miles west of London. From the terrace of Windsor Castle one has a fine view of the college buildings situated in a beautiful meadow on the River Thames. There are about 1100 boys in -attendance ea ch yea r, and a record of the attendance is checked up on school days through the classes, but we were there once on a hoiday, and then the roll is called at noon and at 5 o'clock in the evening. One of the masters stood up on a block in the center of the m a in Quad, and called each of the 1131 boys by name, whereupon said boy stepped forward, touched his hat, and responded, "Heah, suh." Those who had come in from cricket, or tennis, or from a row on the Thames were dressed in sport clothes, but those who had come from study, or from a walk in the park, presented an unusual appearance for a student group. The official garb of a n Eton student is a silk hat, a cutaway coat, or "spike tails" as they a re called there, provided he is 5 feet 4 inches tall, otherwise an Eton jacket, and all wear turnover collars of white. In English parlance, Eton is a public school, and the schools corresponding to our public schools are called board schools, or those that are supported by rates or taxes. The tuition and expense at Eton are about $1500 a year, and boys are admitted only by examination. One day on the train I met the Hon. Mrs. Dyson Laurie and her son, Walter, who had just finished his first year at Eton. His father had been a member of the English Parliament. I asked Mrs. Laurie when she registered her son for Eton. She asked what I meant by that. When I explained, she said, "Oh, you mean when did I put him down." She had put him down for Eton at 4 years of age, but because he was so old, she had also put him down for two other schools so that when he should be about 12 or 13 years of age he would be sure to get into one of the best public schools, preferably Eton, for this had been his father's school. Boys are frequently regi stered for these schools when only a few weeks old, for there are always very long waiting lists. The boys are · not allowed to smoke or play cards. If they fail to make their grades or keep up in scholarship, they are sent home. There is no time to bother with a boy who will not study, there are too many other boys waiting to get in. I asked Walter about his studies, and recreation, etc., a nd among other things he told me he was a fag for an older boy. He said I surely knew what that meant for it told all about it in Tom Brown's Schooldays. He told me he was in a house with a Master in charge, with 60 other boys, and was a fag for an upperclassman. He makes toast, boils eggs, runs errands, etc. When asked what would happen if �he should burn the toast, he said this older boy would switch him. I said I felt sure that an American schoolboy would never stand for that, but he replied it was good for them. I told him I knew why he said that; he knew he would be a senior some day, and then some lowerclassman would have to fag for him, and he admitted that was the case. The birch is used for punishment as in the old days, and once 80 boys were switched for some prank. Another story is told that some 20 boys were sent up to the head master, who is also a clergyman, for confirmation, and he birched one boy before he found out his mistake. The week we were there, three boys had really been punished in this way for some breach of the rules, and we were shown the switches behind the office door with which the deed had been done; also about 20 other switches not yet used, and there was a noticeable difference in the size and condition of the two kinds. The odest part of Eton College was erectd about 1525, and on classroom h as columns made from some of the ships of the Spanish Armada. Some of the old, original desks are here, about ten f eet in ,length, and the benches have no backs. Also the whipping block or bench is kept here. Many of the room s in the old part have wooden p anelling, and here the students used to carve their names. Among the distinguished Etonians are Chatham, Fox, Peel, Canning, Wellington, Shelley, Balfour, and others. The American names carved h ere a re Marshall Field, and Drexell. In the vestibule are carved some 7000 names, and in the h all are 10000 more. But there is an official carver these days, and if a boy wishes to have his n ame carved there, he must pay for it. We were told that 5000 Eton boys enlisted in the late war, and 1100 were killed. Boys can enter as low as the seventh grade, and finish about 17 or 18 years of age, or somewhere between our freshman and sophomore years in college. Classes begin at 7:30 A. M. and there a re three h alf holidays a week: Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday a fternoons. I asked W alter when school was out, a nd he did not know what I m eant, but after explaining, he said, "Oh, you mean when do we go away. We go away in July for eight weeks." He also did not know what was meant by "hookey" but when he did understand he told us they call it "dodging." The present Head Master is not an Eton m a n but comes from the G ramma r School at Shrewsbury, which is also a "public" school. On one of our visits a regatta was being held on the Thames between Shrewsbury and Eton rowers. We wondered what the Head Master would do that day, no matter which school won! Remember when you go to England and wish to visit a real public school you must ask for a Board School else you will be sent to visit Rugby, Harrow, and Eton, Mrs. H. G. Campbell, Conductor of The Morningside Tours. FACULTY NEWS Professor R. L. Welty, head of the department of history and political science at Morningside College, handed in his resignation to the board of trustees at their annual meeting. His resign ation will not take effect until the close of the current school year. �Professor Welty has accepted a position as assistant professor of history at Texas Christian University in Fort Worth, Texas. He will teach English and American history there. Professor Welty came to Morningside after completing his work for his doctor of philosophy degree at the University of Iowa.

The bride wore a dress of white georgette over baronet satin, a full len gth veil caught with a coronet of pearls, and carried a bouquet of roses. She was attended by her maid of honor and three bridesmaids. There was complete silence during the ceremony broken only by the crackling of the fire. The line of guests, whispering wishes for happiness in the ear of the bride and congratulating the groom, seemed almost endless.

WE NEED ONE HUNDRED PER CENT COOPERATION Work on the Alumni Directory is well under way. At this time next month we hope to have arranged to have a copy in your possession. We want to express our appreciation of the splendid cooperation that those of you who promptly returned the information blanks have given us in this difficult piece of work. There are many addresses that we do not as yet have-m any have not returned the information blanks. Whether or not you pay your dollar it is essential that we have information concerning each one of you as we wish. We know that you, too, want this directory to be complete and accurate. If you have mislaid the information blank sent to you, send us your n ame, class to which you belong, present address, present occupation, and any other information you may wish to include. In order that you m ay realize, as we did upon the return of the information blanks, that there is a strong bond of loyalty among the ever-growing number of alumni and ex-students and to their Alma Mater we are printing a few of the additional remarks and information sent in to us. "I noticed the na me of Mabel Sia in the 'News Letter.' She was in school when I was." "I greatly enjoy the 'News Letter;' often recalls the good days long gone by. I .h ad a fine visit with several Morningside students and also saw Professor Garver at the Iowa picnic- a grand gathering of Iowa folks, 100,000 strong." "If ex-student means college my name does not belong in the directory. Morningside first gave me the vision of a college education. I am proud to be ev.e n an Academy graduate. I shall never forget the inspiration received from Dr. Lewis, Professor Van Horne, and many others." "I h ave often wished for just such a publication as the one which you propose, and will look for its appearance with much eagerness." "I attended Morningside College during the fall and winter months of 1901-02, enrolled in the Normal Department. I love the college." "I have enjoyed reading the Alumni 'News Letter' and shall be glad to receive the Alumni Directory. I think it is needed." "Alumni News is great. Let it grow." "This Alumni Directory, which should include all ex-students, will do more to weld the Alumni together than a nything else you could possibly do." "Nothing preventing, my boy will enter Morningside in 1934." "I think this is a splendid movement." "I favor this directory idea and think new ones should be issued every year or two. The Alumni 'News Letter' is always welcome and the most interesting part is the Alumni Notes." Over three thou sand N e ws L etter s a r e sen t out each month.

Thomas topped his college classmate, Sergeant Lauren C. McClaren, another member of the Howitzer company, by one point. Gov. John Hammill nominated Thomas. He is a member of the Phi Sigma fraternity. Thomas enlisted in the Howitzer company May 5, 1927. CLASS REUNIONS At this time of the year the word "commencement" suggests to the minds of the Alumni Committee the subject of class reunions. According to our plan, five classes are to hold reunions this year, the classes o,f 1923, 1918, 1913, 1908, and 1903. The class of 1903 have their plans well under way. We have heard them talking about this reunion for more than a year. The other classes will want to be at work soon. All of these classes had secretaries when they were seniors. We are sure that these persons will be glad to get in touch with the Alumni Committee of the Faculty, who are very willing to · elp h make arrangements for the reunions. Secretaries of these classes, please make yourselves known to Mirah Mills, chairman of the Alumni Committee. SMALL MID-YEAR GRADUATING CLASS Morningside College had two members in its mid-year graduation class this year. The two girls, Miss Mabel Nissen, of Iowa Falls, Iowa, and Miss Lillian Lindaman, of Wellsburg, Iowa, are both at their homes at present. While at Morningside, Miss Nissen was president of the Zetalethean society. This fall she was president of the student governing body of the Dormitory. Miss Lindaman, who was active in Dormitory affairs, was a member of the Athenaeum society, as well as treasurer of Sigma Tau Delta, English literature fraternity. A VISIT TO ETON COLLEGE (Mrs. H. G. Campbell, wife of Professor Campbell, has been kind enough to write an article for the "News Letter" describing her visit to Eton College which I feel every "News" reader will enjoy. Both Professor and Mrs. Campbell have conducted the Morningside Tours for the past number of years.-Editor). Eton College, which is one of England's most famous schools for boys, lies about 25 miles west of London. From the terrace of Windsor Castle one has a fine view of the college buildings situated in a beautiful meadow on the River Thames. There are about 1100 boys in -attendance ea ch yea r, and a record of the attendance is checked up on school days through the classes, but we were there once on a hoiday, and then the roll is called at noon and at 5 o'clock in the evening. One of the masters stood up on a block in the center of the m a in Quad, and called each of the 1131 boys by name, whereupon said boy stepped forward, touched his hat, and responded, "Heah, suh." Those who had come in from cricket, or tennis, or from a row on the Thames were dressed in sport clothes, but those who had come from study, or from a walk in the park, presented an unusual appearance for a student group. The official garb of a n Eton student is a silk hat, a cutaway coat, or "spike tails" as they a re called there, provided he is 5 feet 4 inches tall, otherwise an Eton jacket, and all wear turnover collars of white. In English parlance, Eton is a public school, and the schools corresponding to our public schools are called board schools, or those that are supported by rates or taxes. The tuition and expense at Eton are about $1500 a year, and boys are admitted only by examination. One day on the train I met the Hon. Mrs. Dyson Laurie and her son, Walter, who had just finished his first year at Eton. His father had been a member of the English Parliament. I asked Mrs. Laurie when she registered her son for Eton. She asked what I meant by that. When I explained, she said, "Oh, you mean when did I put him down." She had put him down for Eton at 4 years of age, but because he was so old, she had also put him down for two other schools so that when he should be about 12 or 13 years of age he would be sure to get into one of the best public schools, preferably Eton, for this had been his father's school. Boys are frequently regi stered for these schools when only a few weeks old, for there are always very long waiting lists. The boys are · not allowed to smoke or play cards. If they fail to make their grades or keep up in scholarship, they are sent home. There is no time to bother with a boy who will not study, there are too many other boys waiting to get in. I asked Walter about his studies, and recreation, etc., a nd among other things he told me he was a fag for an older boy. He said I surely knew what that meant for it told all about it in Tom Brown's Schooldays. He told me he was in a house with a Master in charge, with 60 other boys, and was a fag for an upperclassman. He makes toast, boils eggs, runs errands, etc. When asked what would happen if he should burn the toast, he said this older boy would switch him. I said I felt sure that an American schoolboy would never stand for that, but he replied it was good for them. I told him I knew why he said that; he knew he would be a senior some day, and then some lowerclassman would have to fag for him, and he admitted that was the case. The birch is used for punishment as in the old days, and once 80 boys were switched for some prank. Another story is told that some 20 boys were sent up to the head master, who is also a clergyman, for confirmation, and he birched one boy before he found out his mistake. The week we were there, three boys had really been punished in this way for some breach of the rules, and we were shown the switches behind the office door with which the deed had been done; also about 20 other switches not yet used, and there was a noticeable difference in the size and condition of the two kinds. The odest part of Eton College was erectd about 1525, and on classroom h as columns made from some of the ships of the Spanish Armada. Some of the old, original desks are here, about ten f eet in ,length, and the benches have no backs. Also the whipping block or bench is kept here. Many of the room s in the old part have wooden p anelling, and here the students used to carve their names. Among the distinguished Etonians are Chatham, Fox, Peel, Canning, Wellington, Shelley, Balfour, and others. The American names carved h ere a re Marshall Field, and Drexell. In the vestibule are carved some 7000 names, and in the h all are 10000 more. But there is an official carver these days, and if a boy wishes to have his n ame carved there, he must pay for it. We were told that 5000 Eton boys enlisted in the late war, and 1100 were killed. Boys can enter as low as the seventh grade, and finish about 17 or 18 years of age, or somewhere between our freshman and sophomore years in college. Classes begin at 7:30 A. M. and there a re three h alf holidays a week: Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday a fternoons. I asked W alter when school was out, a nd he did not know what I m eant, but after explaining, he said, "Oh, you mean when do we go away. We go away in July for eight weeks." He also did not know what was meant by "hookey" but when he did understand he told us they call it "dodging." The present Head Master is not an Eton m a n but comes from the G ramma r School at Shrewsbury, which is also a "public" school. On one of our visits a regatta was being held on the Thames between Shrewsbury and Eton rowers. We wondered what the Head Master would do that day, no matter which school won! Remember when you go to England and wish to visit a real public school you must ask for a Board School else you will be sent to visit Rugby, Harrow, and Eton, Mrs. H. G. Campbell, Conductor of The Morningside Tours. FACULTY NEWS Professor R. L. Welty, head of the department of history and political science at Morningside College, handed in his resignation to the board of trustees at their annual meeting.

Before an altar of ferns and primroses the bridegroom awaited the coming of the bride. The bride wore a dress of white georgette over baronet satin, a full len gth veil caught with a coronet of pearls, and carried a bouquet of roses. She was attended by her maid of honor and three bridesmaids. There was complete silence during the ceremony broken only by the crackling of the fire. The line of guests, whispering wishes for happiness in the ear of the bride and congratulating the groom, seemed almost endless. After this came the important event for the girls of the dormitory: the bride threw he r bouquet and there was a mad, if dignified, scramble for it.

FEBRUARY, 1943 Robert N. VanHorne Robert N. Van Horne, inspiring teacher of mathematics and practical philosophy, is without a doubt the best loved man at Morningside. His clear insig ht into the inner workings of human personality has endeared him to the thousands who have The commanding officer in charge of th e new aviation cadet program, Capt. Edward A. Kitzmiller, arrived from Randolph field, San Antonio, Texas. He explained that the courses at Morning side will be g iven as preparatory wo rk for preflight training schools. He said the program has been designed to eliminate the large number of "washouts" from advanced schools and that cadets who come to Morningside will be classified and put · into a phase of the air corps for which they are best suited befor e being sent on to the preflight schools. Assisting Capt. Kitzmiller will be Fi rst Lieut. Don F. Caffee, adjutant to the co mmandin g officer, and Second Lieuts. Leonard E. Cohen and J ohn H. Dilks , who will serve as tactical officers in charge of m ilitary discipline and drill. The aviation cadet s will be in uniform and housed at the Women's Residence H a lls which has been vacated recently by Mo rn ingside coeds who are being placed in homes near the campus. According to President Earl A . Roadman five classrooms in the main hall as well a s sororit y rooms on the third floor will he taken over by the cadets. The sororities will move into sorority h ou ses with house mothers. The coming of the cadets is causin g con siderable excitement and confusion, but with an estimated 75 boys who have been en rolled leaving for the armed services before the end of the month, the arrival of the army men will prove to be the lifeblood for the institution during the current crisis. That Morningside was chosen as one of a select group of colleges to aid in the training of these cadets speaks well fo r Morningside college and for the community. Thus another link has been forged in the chain of events bringing the war ever closer to our doorsteps. sat in his classes, worked at his blackboard, and led him on to talk of fields far removed from equations, sines and tangents, and the mysteries of intergrals and derivations. Geni al and sincere, with a philosophy of life expressed both in word and action, "Van" continues to mold the life of student generations. Who can forget the challenge of his "coyote" pep talks, the humor and philosophy of his talks at the Monument on Walkout Day or the inspiration of his "charge" to the seniors as, dressed in buckskin, paint and feathers, he adds a dramatic close to the years spent at Morningside.

As an addition to the wartime program which has been instituted at Morningside, the faculty board for the firs t time in the history of the school has adopted a physical education program in which students can earn a major. The new course has been formed by combining some of the subjects offered before and adding eight new subjects to the curriculum so that students can earn the 20 semester hours credit necessary fo r a major. Don Snyder, acting athletic director, and Miss Marie Liba, instructor in physical education for women, will have charge of a ll subjects offered. Dean George E. Hill explained that the credits earned in freshman and sophomore " gym" courses cannot be used to earn the major and that the biology and human anatomy and physiology subjects wer e r equired. He added that the incr eased demand for physical education · instructors, especially for women, was one of the principal reasons for the revision. Dr. Hill a lso said that the newly adopted prograrn conforms with the requirement standard set by the Board of Education examiners which issues all Iowa teaching certificates. Mr. Snyder's st atement before the Board was, "There are two reasons for s uch a program, the first being to meet the requirements of those who desire to maintain the best possible s tandard of physical fitness while in college and to dev elop ri ght habits and skill in caring for the human body. Secondly, it is for those who desire to teach h ealth and physical education or engage in recreational leadership." phasis week . It was introduced February 3 by Donald Wertz, student body president. The program has been worked out by the Religious Life committee which consists of both student and faculty representatives. The first speaker was Professor VanHorne, who spoke on "What Goes Into the Making Of a Man." Dr. Tweito spoke on "Keeping An Abiding Faith In An Upset World," and Mr. Gwinn spoke on "The Relationship of Science and Religion In My Beliefs."

The program which was divided into three sections was well chosen and the songs were of varied types. The entire audience sang the first number which was the national anthem and then the choir sang "Crucifixus", "Behold the Lamb of God" from "The Messiah," "It is a Good Thing to Give Thanks," and "O Savior, Throw the Heavens Wide." The second part started with "Song of Praise" followed by "In Excelsis Gloria" which was probably the one liked best by most of the audience. Mrs. MacCollin then sang a solo "Mary's Lullaby" and the second half finished with "The Bell." The third part was the cycle of Christ's life starting with "The Nativity," going on to Passion "Before the Crucifix" and then to Resurrection "Eastertide." The concert finished with "Wake, Awake" followed by the seven-fold "Amen." Prexy Says, "In Spite of Hitler" Mr. Hitler thought he could disrupt the Morningside College program. We simply concluded that we would not let him do so. We are doing several things a little differently, and in spite of him we are moving toward higher education. Following are things we are doing: 1-0ne girl spends three hours per day flattening tin cans. 2-Forty-five enlisted Air Corps Reserve students were called during the week of February 10-17, but 400 Air Cadets arrived the last of February. 3-The girls in the dormitory were moved to eight large houses. 4-Former dormitory residents are fed in the dormitory at different hours from the soldiers' mess. 5-Professor MacCollin is losing most of the bass and tenor voices from the A Capella choir but expects to find some excellent voices among the new war college men. 6-The President of the student body, Don Wertz, of Sioux City, reported at Omaha for the Air Force on Feb. 21. James Adams, also a senior from Sioux City and Vice-President, will complete the term. 7-Students are getting their lessons, perhaps not quite so well, but a great deal of hard work is being done. We have enough sugar; we have enough coffee; we are afraid of being short on butter. But we are certain that we are fortunate to live in the United States of America in spite of Hitler. Miss Benita Mossman, violin instructor in the Morningside College Conservatory of Music, is going overseas to help entertain lonesome, music loving American service men. Her appointment, by the American Red Cross, may take her to north Africa or the British Isles, or possibly to the orient. As a member of a Red Cross overseas division, she will have charge of musical entertainment at recreation centers back of the fighting lines, arranging concerts and musical shows and performing herself as a violin soloist. Miss Mossman left Sioux City Feb. 16, She will havetwo weeks of special training at Washington, D. C., then will depart for her undisclosed destination either by ship or plane. Although she regards her coming adventures as a "marvelous experience," Miss Mossman sees in her appointment a "real opportunity to serve" in the morale building branch of the armed services. Coming to Sioux City to replace Miss Mossman on the college conservatory faculty will be Rocco Pesile of the Newark Music School, Newark, N. J.

The Maroons lost to North Dakota U., 42 to 38, the first night and fell before North Dakota State, 50 to 39, the following evening which removed all hopes of a share of the title. Previously the Maroons had downed South Dakota State and Iowa Teachers while losing on. y to South Dakota Univerl sity. Tired from their strenuous northern trip the Morningsiders were upset by Western Union, 48 to 42, in their first February engagement. However, the Maroons roared back the following Saturday night to trounce Omaha, 49 to 21, as reserves played over half the game. Gaining revenge for an earlier defeat, Morningside humbled South Dakota, 55 to 44, the next weekend on the home court. Briggs and Held led the scoring with 15 and 14 points, respectively. Playing a "hot" Augustana quint four nights later the Maroons were edged out, 51 to 50, in a thrilling contest at Sioux Falls. Bob Held continued his torrid scoring by netting 23 tallies. Coach Don Snyder may have difficulty finishing the season as Loren Clark, Don Rhoades, Don Wertz, and Lamar Jones, were called into active duty for the Army Air Corps after the Augustana game. The roster at the present has only six cagers remaining. The Maroons closed the season by splitting with Omaha and Agustana. In a high scoring contest the Vikings made it two in a row over Morningside, 62 to 51. The following evening the Maroons dumped Omaha, 51 to 41, in a sloppy game. Bob Held connected on 42 points in the brace of contests to win loop scoring honors. Final statistics reveal Held connected on 75 field goals and 26 free throws in 11 loop contests for a grand total of 176 points. In comparison Schmidt, a sophomore of S. D.

Lee Lewis, former professor of chemitsry at Northwestern U niversity and inventor of the "lewisite" gas used extensively by allied armies during the World War, died in an Evanston, Illinois, hospital on January 19, 1943. Before coming to Northwestern University, where he was head of the department of chemistry from 1909 to 1924, he had served as an instructor at the University of Washington and at Morningside College. Mrs. Lewis is the former Myrtilla Cook, '05. Following are excerpts from a tribute to Mr. Lewis by Otto Eisenschiml, published in the February 10th "Chemical and Engineering News." "W. Lee Lewis, one of the finest men who ever lived, is no more. Lewis will always be remembered as a great scientist, but he was much more than that-he was a great man, a great teacher, a great friend. "In speaking of Lewis I can do no better than requote some lines I wrote about him a few months ago. "One chemist who achieved national fame during the war was Lee Lewis, then professor of chemistry at Northwestern University. He developed and perfected Lewisite, the deadliest of all poison gases known. It was never used in actual combat, but it is believed that the Germans knew of its existence, and that this hastened the Armistice. Lewis' friends could not decide which of these two facts gave him greater satisfaction. In later years, when Dr. Lewis recalled those days, he never mentioned Lewisite. He preferred to dwell on his fundamental contribution in the fields of organic arsenicals and sugars, on his efforts as a teacher and counselor of young people, or on his promotion of higher sanitation and more precise chemical methods in the packinghouse industry. "Lee Lewis would have made an equally enviable name for himself as a writer or public speaker. His choice of words was something at which I always marvelled, and his humor .... had that rare quality which makes friends instead of estranging them. "Lee Lewis was one of Nature's own works of art, and as such he will be remembered long after his many friends have followed him into eternity." �Page 4 February, 1943 Who's Who Among Morningside Alumni MORNINGSIDERS IN PRINT W.

IMPEACHMENT For 25 years I have been trying to t each American History students that Johnson was impeach ed. I must confess I haven't had complete success. Maybe your movie critic was one of my ex-students. At lea st, the following quotation from the Jan. 11 issue of Time: "Johnson .... who narrowly escaped impeachment by a righteous Congress" leads t o the suspicion that one of my students went East.

Dr. Seaver graduated at MorningsideCollege in 1902, majoring in biology under Professor R. B. Wylie. Then h e went t o the St ate University of Iowa to continue as a graduate student in botany under Professors MacBride and Shimek. Ther e he was given the deg r ee .of Ph. D. in 1912.

MORNINGSIDE COLLEGE BULLETIN MORNINGSIDER NEWS Vol. XXVI Morningside to Train Army Air Cadets Time and tide wait for no man and Morningside college officials are straining · under the full impact of the moving in of the army aviation cadets. FEBRUARY, 1943 Robert N. VanHorne Robert N. Van Horne, inspiring teacher of mathematics and practical philosophy, is without a doubt the best loved man at Morningside. His clear insig ht into the inner workings of human personality has endeared him to the thousands who have The commanding officer in charge of th e new aviation cadet program, Capt. Edward A. Kitzmiller, arrived from Randolph field, San Antonio, Texas. He explained that the courses at Morning side will be g iven as preparatory wo rk for preflight training schools. He said the program has been designed to eliminate the large number of "washouts" from advanced schools and that cadets who come to Morningside will be classified and put · into a phase of the air corps for which they are best suited befor e being sent on to the preflight schools. Assisting Capt. Kitzmiller will be Fi rst Lieut. Don F. Caffee, adjutant to the co mmandin g officer, and Second Lieuts. Leonard E. Cohen and J ohn H. Dilks , who will serve as tactical officers in charge of m ilitary discipline and drill. The aviation cadet s will be in uniform and housed at the Women's Residence H a lls which has been vacated recently by Mo rn ingside coeds who are being placed in homes near the campus. According to President Earl A . Roadman five classrooms in the main hall as well a s sororit y rooms on the third floor will he taken over by the cadets. The sororities will move into sorority h ou ses with house mothers. The coming of the cadets is causin g con siderable excitement and confusion, but with an estimated 75 boys who have been en rolled leaving for the armed services before the end of the month, the arrival of the army men will prove to be the lifeblood for the institution during the current crisis. That Morningside was chosen as one of a select group of colleges to aid in the training of these cadets speaks well fo r Morningside college and for the community. Thus another link has been forged in the chain of events bringing the war ever closer to our doorsteps. sat in his classes, worked at his blackboard, and led him on to talk of fields far removed from equations, sines and tangents, and the mysteries of intergrals and derivations. Geni al and sincere, with a philosophy of life expressed both in word and action, "Van" continues to mold the life of student generations. Who can forget the challenge of his "coyote" pep talks, the humor and philosophy of his talks at the Monument on Walkout Day or the inspiration of his "charge" to the seniors as, dressed in buckskin, paint and feathers, he adds a dramatic close to the years spent at Morningside. New Series of Speakers for Chapel A new se ries of speeches has been inaug·urated in the regular Wednesday chapel prog ram to replace the usual Religious Em- No. 4 COLLEGE ADDS MAJOR COURSE Twenty Hours of Physical Education Offered at Morningside. As an addition to the wartime program which has been instituted at Morningside, the faculty board for the firs t time in the history of the school has adopted a physical education program in which students can earn a major. The new course has been formed by combining some of the subjects offered before and adding eight new subjects to the curriculum so that students can earn the 20 semester hours credit necessary fo r a major. Don Snyder, acting athletic director, and Miss Marie Liba, instructor in physical education for women, will have charge of a ll subjects offered. Dean George E. Hill explained that the credits earned in freshman and sophomore " gym" courses cannot be used to earn the major and that the biology and human anatomy and physiology subjects wer e r equired. He added that the incr eased demand for physical education · instructors, especially for women, was one of the principal reasons for the revision. Dr. Hill a lso said that the newly adopted prograrn conforms with the requirement standard set by the Board of Education examiners which issues all Iowa teaching certificates. Mr. Snyder's st atement before the Board was, "There are two reasons for s uch a program, the first being to meet the requirements of those who desire to maintain the best possible s tandard of physical fitness while in college and to dev elop ri ght habits and skill in caring for the human body. Secondly, it is for those who desire to teach h ealth and physical education or engage in recreational leadership." phasis week . It was introduced February 3 by Donald Wertz, student body president. The program has been worked out by the Religious Life committee which consists of both student and faculty representatives. The first speaker was Professor VanHorne, who spoke on "What Goes Into the Making Of a Man." Dr. Tweito spoke on "Keeping An Abiding Faith In An Upset World," and Mr. Gwinn spoke on "The Relationship of Science and Religion In My Beliefs."

The program which was divided into three sections was well chosen and the songs were of varied types. The entire audience sang the first number which was the national anthem and then the choir sang "Crucifixus", "Behold the Lamb of God" from "The Messiah," "It is a Good Thing to Give Thanks," and "O Savior, Throw the Heavens Wide." The second part started with "Song of Praise" followed by "In Excelsis Gloria" which was probably the one liked best by most of the audience. Mrs. MacCollin then sang a solo "Mary's Lullaby" and the second half finished with "The Bell." The third part was the cycle of Christ's life starting with "The Nativity," going on to Passion "Before the Crucifix" and then to Resurrection "Eastertide." The concert finished with "Wake, Awake" followed by the seven-fold "Amen." Prexy Says, "In Spite of Hitler" Mr. Hitler thought he could disrupt the Morningside College program. We simply concluded that we would not let him do so. We are doing several things a little differently, and in spite of him we are moving toward higher education. Following are things we are doing: 1-0ne girl spends three hours per day flattening tin cans. 2-Forty-five enlisted Air Corps Reserve students were called during the week of February 10-17, but 400 Air Cadets arrived the last of February. 3-The girls in the dormitory were moved to eight large houses. 4-Former dormitory residents are fed in the dormitory at different hours from the soldiers' mess. 5-Professor MacCollin is losing most of the bass and tenor voices from the A Capella choir but expects to find some excellent voices among the new war college men. 6-The President of the student body, Don Wertz, of Sioux City, reported at Omaha for the Air Force on Feb. 21. James Adams, also a senior from Sioux City and Vice-President, will complete the term. 7-Students are getting their lessons, perhaps not quite so well, but a great deal of hard work is being done. We have enough sugar; we have enough coffee; we are afraid of being short on butter. But we are certain that we are fortunate to live in the United States of America in spite of Hitler. Miss Benita Mossman, violin instructor in the Morningside College Conservatory of Music, is going overseas to help entertain lonesome, music loving American service men. Her appointment, by the American Red Cross, may take her to north Africa or the British Isles, or possibly to the orient. As a member of a Red Cross overseas division, she will have charge of musical entertainment at recreation centers back of the fighting lines, arranging concerts and musical shows and performing herself as a violin soloist. Miss Mossman left Sioux City Feb. 16, She will havetwo weeks of special training at Washington, D. C., then will depart for her undisclosed destination either by ship or plane. Although she regards her coming adventures as a "marvelous experience," Miss Mossman sees in her appointment a "real opportunity to serve" in the morale building branch of the armed services. Coming to Sioux City to replace Miss Mossman on the college conservatory faculty will be Rocco Pesile of the Newark Music School, Newark, N. J. Mr. Pesile has been playing first violin in the New York Symhony Orchestra and is a composer. He also will take Miss Mossman's place as a principal in the Sioux City Symphony, Morningside Host to State Music Contest March 6 State auditions for the young artist a:nd student musician contest, sponsored by the Iowa Federation of Music clubs will be held March 6th at the Morningside College Conservatory of Music, according to an announcement by James Reistrup, college faculty member and chairman of the state contest. Winners in the state contests will be eligible to compete in national contests in Detroit in conjunction with the convention of the National Federation of Music Clubs. In the four divisions of the young artists four cash prizes of $1,000 each will be awarded to the winners. If war conditions warrant, winner in the piano classification will receive also a tour of Brazil with all expenses paid. NEW YORK NEWS At a College club luncheon in Mountain Lakes a few weeks ago a guest of the hostess proved to be a former Morningside student, Anna Marie Van Ingen Uhlig, ex '28, A delightful visit about old times and ATHLETICS Morningside's chances of winning the North Central basketball championship were thwarted on a trip into North Dakota January 29 and 30. The Maroons lost to North Dakota U., 42 to 38, the first night and fell before North Dakota State, 50 to 39, the following evening which removed all hopes of a share of the title. Previously the Maroons had downed South Dakota State and Iowa Teachers while losing on. y to South Dakota Univerl sity. Tired from their strenuous northern trip the Morningsiders were upset by Western Union, 48 to 42, in their first February engagement. However, the Maroons roared back the following Saturday night to trounce Omaha, 49 to 21, as reserves played over half the game. Gaining revenge for an earlier defeat, Morningside humbled South Dakota, 55 to 44, the next weekend on the home court. Briggs and Held led the scoring with 15 and 14 points, respectively. Playing a "hot" Augustana quint four nights later the Maroons were edged out, 51 to 50, in a thrilling contest at Sioux Falls. Bob Held continued his torrid scoring by netting 23 tallies. Coach Don Snyder may have difficulty finishing the season as Loren Clark, Don Rhoades, Don Wertz, and Lamar Jones, were called into active duty for the Army Air Corps after the Augustana game. The roster at the present has only six cagers remaining. The Maroons closed the season by splitting with Omaha and Agustana. In a high scoring contest the Vikings made it two in a row over Morningside, 62 to 51. The following evening the Maroons dumped Omaha, 51 to 41, in a sloppy game. Bob Held connected on 42 points in the brace of contests to win loop scoring honors. Final statistics reveal Held connected on 75 field goals and 26 free throws in 11 loop contests for a grand total of 176 points. In comparison Schmidt, a sophomore of S. D. State, sank 65 fielders and 42 gratis pitches for 172 points, only four tallies behind the Maroon ace. old friends followed. An impromptu Valentine dinner for the New York Morningsiders was attended by Rev. and Mrs. Robert Dolliver, '24, Miss Bernice Seaver, daughter of F. J.

Lee Lewis, former professor of chemitsry at Northwestern U niversity and inventor of the "lewisite" gas used extensively by allied armies during the World War, died in an Evanston, Illinois, hospital on January 19, 1943. Before coming to Northwestern University, where he was head of the department of chemistry from 1909 to 1924, he had served as an instructor at the University of Washington and at Morningside College. Mrs. Lewis is the former Myrtilla Cook, '05. Following are excerpts from a tribute to Mr. Lewis by Otto Eisenschiml, published in the February 10th "Chemical and Engineering News." "W. Lee Lewis, one of the finest men who ever lived, is no more. Lewis will always be remembered as a great scientist, but he was much more than that-he was a great man, a great teacher, a great friend. "In speaking of Lewis I can do no better than requote some lines I wrote about him a few months ago. "One chemist who achieved national fame during the war was Lee Lewis, then professor of chemistry at Northwestern University. He developed and perfected Lewisite, the deadliest of all poison gases known. It was never used in actual combat, but it is believed that the Germans knew of its existence, and that this hastened the Armistice. Lewis' friends could not decide which of these two facts gave him greater satisfaction. In later years, when Dr. Lewis recalled those days, he never mentioned Lewisite. He preferred to dwell on his fundamental contribution in the fields of organic arsenicals and sugars, on his efforts as a teacher and counselor of young people, or on his promotion of higher sanitation and more precise chemical methods in the packinghouse industry. "Lee Lewis would have made an equally enviable name for himself as a writer or public speaker. His choice of words was something at which I always marvelled, and his humor .... had that rare quality which makes friends instead of estranging them. "Lee Lewis was one of Nature's own works of art, and as such he will be remembered long after his many friends have followed him into eternity." Page 4 February, 1943 Who's Who Among Morningside Alumni MORNINGSIDERS IN PRINT W.

IMPEACHMENT For 25 years I have been trying to t each American History students that Johnson was impeach ed. I must confess I haven't had complete success. Maybe your movie critic was one of my ex-students. At lea st, the following quotation from the Jan. 11 issue of Time: "Johnson .... who narrowly escaped impeachment by a righteous Congress" leads t o the suspicion that one of my students went East. Mitchell P .

Dr. Seaver is Curator in the New York Botanical Garden and Managing -Editor of Mycologia, a magazine devoted t o the natural hist or y of the fungi. This new book was issued late in 1942 and is entitled "The Nort h American Cup-fungi." The pr esent edition includes the original edition issued in 1928, with the addition of about a hundred n ew pages and plates. Throughout all of his busy years Dr. Seaver has found some time to devot e to this obscure group of fung us plants, and now after many years his labors have borne fruit. Dr. Seaver graduated at MorningsideCollege in 1902, majoring in biology under Professor R. B. Wylie. Then h e went t o the St ate University of Iowa to continue as a graduate student in botany under Professors MacBride and Shimek. Ther e he was given the deg r ee .of Ph. D. in 1912. Morningside conferred the honorary Sc. D. in 1931. Dr .

While most midwestern colleges had announced such a plan some time ago, Morningside had hoped it would not be necessary to do this. However, the Navy's recent decision to refuse enlistment in the Navy V-1 to any boy who would not enter school prior to March 16, 1943, clinched the matter and on January 14th college officials announced the following plan: A high school student in his or her senior year may be admitted before graduation if recommended by his principal and given honorable release from high school. The college is glad to receive such applications but is engaging in no solicitation of them beyond making the opportunity known. To date so many students have enrolled for the entering freshman class at mid-year that there will probably be more than last year's record of twenty-two new freshmen. Interest in mid-year registration of freshmen is limited chiefly to boys, so far. Several new courses will appear in the second semester offering. An additional semester of current international relations, beginning college algebra, beginning college freshman English are among the courses of special interest . Other war courses continued from first semester include electronics and r adio, basic aviation, ordnance and gunnery. ATHLETIC DIRECTOR Staff Cassell, athletic director at Morningside since la st March, resigned his position January 1 to accept a commission in the United States Navy. Don Snyder, former Maroon athlete, replaced Cassell as dir ector of athletics and has full charge of Morningside sports. After winning five consecutive non-conference g ames, the Maroon cagers lost to the University of South Dakota five, 43 to 40, in their initial loop tilt but roared back the following weekend to upset the powerSouth Dakota State Jackrabbits, 62 to 41, with Bob Held pouring 32 · points through the net.

In August, a second class of 50 was organized and is now at work on the more advanced phases of the course. On J anuary 4, the third unit began the study of elementary electronics. Under the provisions of the Government, the institution provides training for qualified individuals to pass the examination for a second class radio operators' license. Another popular course has been "Industrial Safety" organized under the leadership of Dr. M. E. Graber and Prof. Mendal Miller.

McCurdy A memorial chapel is to be built in Chungking, China, after the war, to honor a Morningside College graduate, the late Rev. W. A. McCurdy, according to word received by Mrs. W. W. Brown, 3925 Orleans Avenue, Sioux City, Iowa. Word of this and other posthumous honors to be conferred on Rev. Mr. McCurdy came from Mrs. McCurdy, who also was graduated from Morningside College and who served for many years in Chinese missions with her husband. They saw some of the severest Japanese attacks, and great damage was done to their mission buildings. The memorial chapel is to be erected when the Institutional church at Chungking is reconstructed after the war. Recently Northwest University alumni in Chungking voted a contribution of $50,000 to the fund now being raised for the chapel. Mrs. McCurdy also told of learning, by radio, a message, that a mandate issued by Page 3 the Chinese national government praised Rev. McCurdy's "sincerity, benevolence and enthusiasm" in his work in Chungking and his courage in rescue work in enemy raids. Rev . Mr. McCurdy died in a New York hospital after having returned to the United States for an operation. Mrs. McCurdy and family expect to live in Syracuse, New York, where her son is to be a freshman at the University of Syracuse. Rev.

Dr. Roadman, the executive committee, and the Hickman committee have been searching for an all inclusive name that will include every Morningsider whether he had the opportunity to complete a four year course, or whether after one or two years, he completed his educational training in the University of Hard Knocks. The objectors to the term "alumni" think that it includes only four year graduates. Four year graduates find it difficult to recall how few of the people who enrolled as freshmen with them were fellow classmates four years later. The following names have been suggested: Alumni Morningside Alumni Morningsiders All-Morningsider Every Morningsider Tribe of the Sioux Morningside Sioux Here's a job for you! Send in your own suggestion or vote for one of the above. We want a name that designates a happy family of the "children" of alma mater. FACULTY CHRISTMAS MAIL BAG Professor W. M.

CHANGES IN THE ENLISTED RESERVES On December 17, 1942, the joint ArmyNavy board, planning for the use of College facilities, announced sweeping changes in the enlisted reserves for college men. Plans call for calling all reserve enlistees into active duty and then re-assigning many of them to continued college education in the various colleges selected for this purpose. While the colleges have not yet been chosen, it is understood that some 250 will be used. The Army Reserve men are to be called starting in February, the Navy Reserve men "at a date to be determined". If re-assigned to college training these men will be in uniform, and will be provided regular pay and subsistence. It is clear that many of the Army reserve men will be able to finish much, if not all, of the second semester and have been urged to register for the second semester by General Charles Grahl, head of the Iowa Selective Service in an address to the Morningside student body on January 4th.

MORNINGSIDE COLLEGE BULLETIN MORNINGSIDER NEWS Vol. XXVI SECOND SEMESTER PLANS The most radical change in plans for the second semester is the decision to admit certain high school seniors for mid-year registration who would normally graduate from high school in June. While most midwestern colleges had announced such a plan some time ago, Morningside had hoped it would not be necessary to do this. However, the Navy's recent decision to refuse enlistment in the Navy V-1 to any boy who would not enter school prior to March 16, 1943, clinched the matter and on January 14th college officials announced the following plan: A high school student in his or her senior year may be admitted before graduation if recommended by his principal and given honorable release from high school. The college is glad to receive such applications but is engaging in no solicitation of them beyond making the opportunity known. To date so many students have enrolled for the entering freshman class at mid-year that there will probably be more than last year's record of twenty-two new freshmen. Interest in mid-year registration of freshmen is limited chiefly to boys, so far. Several new courses will appear in the second semester offering. An additional semester of current international relations, beginning college algebra, beginning college freshman English are among the courses of special interest . Other war courses continued from first semester include electronics and r adio, basic aviation, ordnance and gunnery. ATHLETIC DIRECTOR Staff Cassell, athletic director at Morningside since la st March, resigned his position January 1 to accept a commission in the United States Navy. Don Snyder, former Maroon athlete, replaced Cassell as dir ector of athletics and has full charge of Morningside sports. After winning five consecutive non-conference g ames, the Maroon cagers lost to the University of South Dakota five, 43 to 40, in their initial loop tilt but roared back the following weekend to upset the powerSouth Dakota State Jackrabbits, 62 to 41, with Bob Held pouring 32 · points through the net.

They saw some of the severest Japanese attacks, and great damage was done to their mission buildings. The memorial chapel is to be erected when the Institutional church at Chungking is reconstructed after the war. Recently Northwest University alumni in Chungking voted a contribution of $50,000 to the fund now being raised for the chapel. Mrs. McCurdy also told of learning, by radio, a message, that a mandate issued by Page 3 the Chinese national government praised Rev. McCurdy's "sincerity, benevolence and enthusiasm" in his work in Chungking and his courage in rescue work in enemy raids. Rev .

Dr. Roadman, the executive committee, and the Hickman committee have been searching for an all inclusive name that will include every Morningsider whether he had the opportunity to complete a four year course, or whether after one or two years, he completed his educational training in the University of Hard Knocks.

Four year graduates find it difficult to recall how few of the people who enrolled as freshmen with them were fellow classmates four years later. The following names have been suggested: Alumni Morningside Alumni Morningsiders All-Morningsider Every Morningsider Tribe of the Sioux Morningside Sioux Here's a job for you!

Frank dwelt chiefly on new discoveries in the field of chemistry and, in a very practical manner, revealed that a much better world is in store for us after the war. Frank travels over the country, showing the youth of America what a bright future lies ahead of them and the College is proud of his work.

CHANGES IN THE ENLISTED RESERVES On December 17, 1942, the joint ArmyNavy board, planning for the use of College facilities, announced sweeping changes in the enlisted reserves for college men. Plans call for calling all reserve enlistees into active duty and then re-assigning many of them to continued college education in the various colleges selected for this purpose. While the colleges have not yet been chosen, it is understood that some 250 will be used. The Army Reserve men are to be called starting in February, the Navy Reserve men "at a date to be determined". If re-assigned to college training these men will be in uniform, and will be provided regular pay and subsistence. It is clear that many of the Army reserve men will be able to finish much, if not all, of the second semester and have been urged to register for the second semester by General Charles Grahl, head of the Iowa Selective Service in an address to the Morningside student body on January 4th. Navy reserve enlistments for boys not over 17 will remain open until March 15, 1943.

Directed by Dr. Russell Cooper, this study is a cooperative experiment for the improvement of teacher education in liberal arts colleges. Cooperating colleges set up a special committee of staff members to encourage research and improvement in the college curriculum. The committee for Morningside College is to he headed by Professor Ira J. Gwinn. Professor Gwinn is now in attendance at a special workshop for college people being held at the University of Minnesota. He is gathering information on certain problems outlined by the college committee and will return to the campus prepared to exercise leadership in improving our program of liberal arts training for teachers. Other members of the committee are Professor Lillian Dimmitt, Professor James Reistrup, Professor Mendal B. Miller, and Dean George E. Hill. ---M--- RESULT OF ALUMNI TRUSTEE ELECTION As a result of the balloting through the Morningsider, the committee announces the election of Ernest M. Raun, '23, and Ralph C. Prichard, '15 to the Board of Trustees of Morningside College. These trustees will serve for a three year term expiring in 1946. Morningsiders In Print First copies of Hillis Lory's latest book, Japan's Military Masters, published by the Viking Press, have arrived in Sioux City and are being read with interest by persons who knew the author as a schoolboy in Morningside and later as a student at Morningside College where he received his bachelor of arts degree in 1922. He received his master's degree at Columbia University. From 1925 to 1929 he served as a member of the faculty of Hokkaido Imperial University in Japan and since that time has devoted virtually all his time to lecturing and instructing both here and abroad. During that time he made several trips to Japan and other oriental countries and two complete trips around the world. He knows personally most of the important figures in far east political and military circles and frequently has discussed far eastern problems with them. Because of his extensive study and his long firsthand contact with oriental peoples, Dr. Lory is considered an authority on far eastern problems. Recognition of that fact is given by Joseph C. Grew, former United States ambassador to Japan, who wrote the foreword to this new book. Japan's Military Masters is clearly and interestingly written in a style that holds the reader's attention from beginning to end. It is predicted on the author's belief that the principal prerequisite to victory is "know your enemy." The author makes no pretense of giving sensational revelations, but those who read the volume are destined to experience the shattering of any illusions they may have that victory over Japan will be easy of accomplishment. The book explains in detail the organization of the Japanese army, its historical and religious background, its training, its leadership and its long preparation for war. Lory does not believe that Japan can be defeated by bombing expeditions alone. "Contrary to general opinion," he says, "Japanese resistance to large scale bombing can and will be most effective." "An appalling blunder in our thinking," says the author, "is the widespread belief that time is with us. On the contrary, time is with Japan . . . Japanese have the raw materials. They have the manpower that can be trained. We have no monopoly on mass production. Japan, even in conquered areas, is adapting it to her needs. Japan's most urgent need is time. That we must not give her." The Japanese, the author says, are prepared to accept everything except defeat. We can expect Japan to fight virtually until the last soldier is killed and her last ship is sunk. Japan's Military Masters is an interesting book and one that admirably fulfills its primary function-to "know your enemy." Mrs. Lory is the former Sarah Drury, '24, and 'their home is in Palo Alto, Calif. Mr. Lory has dedicated his book to his two small daughters who, he states, were no help to him in writing the book. If you have read the June 14 issue of Newsweek or June 21 issue of Time, no doubt you saw the account of a study made by Dean George E . Hill, professor of Educational Psychology, of the daily newspaper comic strips for the University of Chicago with the purpose of determining how comics might influence a child's vocabulary. As conscientious parents, you will be pleased to know that his findings indicate newspaper comics do not harm a child's vocabulary, but, in fact, may help him build vocabulary meanings. ---M--- CAMPUS ACTIVITIES Morningside College and community raised $125 for the support of Hwa Nan College in Foochow, China, during the week of May 16.

June, 1943 Page 3 Miss Loveland Some time in the 90's a girl, recently graduated from Smith College, joined the faculty of Epworth Seminary as teacher of English. The Principal at that time was Dr. Wilson Seeley Lewis, later President of Morningside College and Bishop of the Methodist Episcopal Church. The young lady in question was Miss Helen I. Loveland, Professor of English, Emerita, in Morningside College. Teachers at Epworth at that time were "handpicked" with the result that Dr. Lewis had gathered a faculty that would compare favorably with that of many small colleges of that day. in fact, certain courses were given college credit at standard midwestern colleges. Others on the Epworth faculty at that time were Miss Florence Fulton, known to Morningsiders as Mrs. Lewis, and Mr. William Dodge Lewis who was for many years editor of the John C. Winston publications and joint editor of the Winston English Dictionary. While Miss Loveland had come from the effete east she immediately adapted herself to the conditions of a mid-western preparatory school and soon became a favorite with the students. At that time she showed that sense of judgment, wisdom and liberality which characterized her throughout her career as a teacher. Many a student of that day owes much to Miss Loveland for the self-confidence, aspirations and ideals which she inspired. From Epworth Seminary Miss Loveland was called to the chair of English in Upper Iowa University. When Dr. Lewis became President of Morningside College he brought her from Upper Iowa to become head of the department of English. This position Miss Loveland held until her retirement from active teaching several years ago, interrupted only once when she took sabbatical leave for study at Oxford University, England. If the history of Morningside College were written, it would of necessity give a large place to Helen I. Loveland. She has always stood for high standards of scholarship and broad liberal culture. Her sympathetic understanding of the problems of young people and her noble ideals of character have done much to shape the lives of the students who have come under her instruction. She has lived for these students. The many hours of an always heavy teaching load were put in gladly for the College and for her students. Even now one of her greatest pleasures is to have an old Morningsider come to her home at 3607 Peters Avenue to call. That affection for her students was a great one and it still exists. "I'D LOVE TO LIVE IN LOVELAND" These were the words of a familiar ditty adopted as their own by the girls of "Loveland Cottage," "way back when" I first lived there. They became increasingly true as time went on; we really "loved" to live there. It was never a mere place to eat and sleep: there was a feeling of unity-almost of family solidarity - that seems to me unique. Why was this so? I have come to think the reasons were two-Miss Helen and Miss Elizabeth Loveland. Truly Christian gentlewomen, they manifested a personal interest in every one of us and soon gained a knowledge of our home and family backgrounds Was one of us timid? That one was drawn out and encouraged to contribute to the talk at table. Had another a toocutting wit? Ways could be found to sheath its edge. If haste (or hunger) made us forget our manners, a quizzical sidelong glance from Miss Helen who sat at the center of one side of the long table restrained us without drawing the attention of the r est. Good conversation on matters of interest to us all was the rule, enforced only by her adroit suggestion and skillful leading. About that table we met distinguish ed guests-bishops of the church, returned missionaries, Y. W. secretaries, and people who were accomplishing things in Sioux City. Equally welcome were our own relatives and friends. Miss Elizabeth was the guardian of our physical well-being. Her brisk and efficient management of the students (boys and girls), who helped themselves to education by helping her, insured that lawn and garden would be cared for, floors and furniture dusted and polished, dishes thoroughly washed and dried, and all of us well and promptly fed. More than one man and woman, now in positions of honor and responsibility, have Miss Elizabeth to thank for honest habits of work and the conviction that "getting by" is not good enough. Very frequently we went from breakfast to the living room where we stood to sing a few verses of favorite hymns and listen to a brief passage of Scripture. Or sometimes we recited favorite verses or joined in a familiar Psalm. Prayer followed, led sometimes by Miss Helen or one of our number: at other times sentence prayers from the group of unison prayers were used. No one was compelled to this exercise but few of us cared to absent ourselves, finding in it a source of strength as well as of unity. Holidays and birthdays were appropriately celebrated and we who had vacation time anniversaries might choose a day in the school year for our celebration. Great was the interest when the birthday cake went around the long table 'til claimed by the celebrant. An interesting custom had to do with favorite menus. Each of us submitted three, one for each meal; when they appeared on the table we claimed our own and sometimes came in for much good-natured "ribbing" for our peculiar tastes or strange combinations of dishes. For a number of years on February 22 (while the male population attended the Men's Banquet) the girls staged a colonial wedding. Elaborate preparations were made, and costumes evolved. "Old girls" living or teaching nearby, returned to share in the fun and enjoy the "Washington Dinner" complete with cherry pie and hatchets. Yes, we truly did "love to live in Loveland" under the beneficent care of the Lovelands, whom generations of "Lovelanders' rise up to call blessed. Anna Beard Madison, '16. ---M--- WITH OUR BOYS Lt.

Conference Record Two items of recent news will interest all Morningsiders. First, the annual collection for Morningside from the Northwest Iowa Conference of the Methodist Church leads the nation in per capita giving for church colleges. The record was reported in the June 3, 1943 issue of the Christian Advocate, which is the Methodist weekly with 250,000 readers (largest in Protestantism) . The following is a quotation from the story: "The pace for increased support for conference institutions is being set now by several Conferences. Northwest Iowa, which supports Morningside College, has the highest per capita record for giving to the current support of an educational institution. If the whole Church would follow the example set by the Methodists of this Conference, the giving from the Church would be $2,720,000, or a quarter of a million more than all of our colleges get now from their endowment investments." The second item concerns the success of the annual Sioux City spring drive for current support. The campaign for $30,000 dollars was more easily executed and with less effort than in previous years. A special feature inaugurating the solicitation was a gift guest luncheon by Mr. and Mrs. C. S. Van Eaton, of the O. P. Skaggs system, for one hundred and fifteen of the workers.] MARRIAGES Lainys Kitterman, '43, to Lawrence D. Boyer, a graduate of McPherson College, Kan., on June 3 in Kingsley.

The class group was invited, also, to attend the reception for seniors and friends given at 5 o'clock b y President and Mrs. Roadman at their residence on Garretson Avenue. On the following Monday morning the class group was entertained at breakfast at the home of Mr . and Mrs. M. F .

To the accompaniment of singing birds, the '03 group enjoyed recalling reminiscences of former days and Published monthly from September to June, inclusive, by Morningside College. Application for entry as second class matter is pending at Sioux City, Iowa. Page 2 June 1943 Page 2 in reading messages and letters from absent class members. These messages included an article published in a leading newspaper and written by Dr. Alexander G. Ruthven, '03, President of the University of Michigan, a letter from Mrs. Sophie Hieby Crane, '03, San Diego, Calif., and a note of appreciation of the illustrious '03 class, written by Dr. E . M. Buchner, Chicago, and read by his wife, Mrs. Pearl W. Buchner. At noon the class again was recognized at a special table at the alumni luncheon held at the Mayfair Hotel for all class reunions. In the evening at the annual Morningside College dinner, held this year in the dining room at Grace Church, the '03's contributed much hilarity and distinction by appearing in stovepipe hats, white gloves and carrying canes, a special feature of '03 days. They contributed an interesting part in the evening's program. At noon on Tuesday, after the Commencement exercises, the class was entertained at luncheon at the Scribbin's Tea Room, together with other distinguished Commencement visitors, as guests of President and Mrs. Roadman. The day closed with an informal picnic supper in the beautiful gardens of the Morningside Nursery where Mr. and Mrs. Ray Toothaker had invited friends and students, alumni and faculty members to visit and renew friendships of former days. "A wonderful inspiration" was the verdict of each class member as they parted, thanking Mr. and Mrs. Toothaker in appreciation of their efforts in planning and managing such a delightful and interesting program for the reunion of the class of '03. ---M--- College Selected for North Central Study Morningside College has recently been selected as a participating institution for the North Central Association study of teacher education. Directed by Dr. Russell Cooper, this study is a cooperative experiment for the improvement of teacher education in liberal arts colleges. Cooperating colleges set up a special committee of staff members to encourage research and improvement in the college curriculum. The committee for Morningside College is to he headed by Professor Ira J. Gwinn. Professor Gwinn is now in attendance at a special workshop for college people being held at the University of Minnesota. He is gathering information on certain problems outlined by the college committee and will return to the campus prepared to exercise leadership in improving our program of liberal arts training for teachers. Other members of the committee are Professor Lillian Dimmitt, Professor James Reistrup, Professor Mendal B. Miller, and Dean George E. Hill. ---M--- RESULT OF ALUMNI TRUSTEE ELECTION As a result of the balloting through the Morningsider, the committee announces the election of Ernest M. Raun, '23, and Ralph C. Prichard, '15 to the Board of Trustees of Morningside College. These trustees will serve for a three year term expiring in 1946. Morningsiders In Print First copies of Hillis Lory's latest book, Japan's Military Masters, published by the Viking Press, have arrived in Sioux City and are being read with interest by persons who knew the author as a schoolboy in Morningside and later as a student at Morningside College where he received his bachelor of arts degree in 1922. He received his master's degree at Columbia University. From 1925 to 1929 he served as a member of the faculty of Hokkaido Imperial University in Japan and since that time has devoted virtually all his time to lecturing and instructing both here and abroad. During that time he made several trips to Japan and other oriental countries and two complete trips around the world. He knows personally most of the important figures in far east political and military circles and frequently has discussed far eastern problems with them. Because of his extensive study and his long firsthand contact with oriental peoples, Dr. Lory is considered an authority on far eastern problems. Recognition of that fact is given by Joseph C. Grew, former United States ambassador to Japan, who wrote the foreword to this new book. Japan's Military Masters is clearly and interestingly written in a style that holds the reader's attention from beginning to end. It is predicted on the author's belief that the principal prerequisite to victory is "know your enemy." The author makes no pretense of giving sensational revelations, but those who read the volume are destined to experience the shattering of any illusions they may have that victory over Japan will be easy of accomplishment. The book explains in detail the organization of the Japanese army, its historical and religious background, its training, its leadership and its long preparation for war. Lory does not believe that Japan can be defeated by bombing expeditions alone. "Contrary to general opinion," he says, "Japanese resistance to large scale bombing can and will be most effective." "An appalling blunder in our thinking," says the author, "is the widespread belief that time is with us. On the contrary, time is with Japan . . . Japanese have the raw materials. They have the manpower that can be trained. We have no monopoly on mass production. Japan, even in conquered areas, is adapting it to her needs. Japan's most urgent need is time. That we must not give her." The Japanese, the author says, are prepared to accept everything except defeat. We can expect Japan to fight virtually until the last soldier is killed and her last ship is sunk. Japan's Military Masters is an interesting book and one that admirably fulfills its primary function-to "know your enemy." Mrs. Lory is the former Sarah Drury, '24, and 'their home is in Palo Alto, Calif. Mr. Lory has dedicated his book to his two small daughters who, he states, were no help to him in writing the book. If you have read the June 14 issue of Newsweek or June 21 issue of Time, no doubt you saw the account of a study made by Dean George E . Hill, professor of Educational Psychology, of the daily newspaper comic strips for the University of Chicago with the purpose of determining how comics might influence a child's vocabulary. As conscientious parents, you will be pleased to know that his findings indicate newspaper comics do not harm a child's vocabulary, but, in fact, may help him build vocabulary meanings. ---M--- CAMPUS ACTIVITIES Morningside College and community raised $125 for the support of Hwa Nan College in Foochow, China, during the week of May 16. Many Morningsiders will remember Lucy Wang, '21, who is president of Hwa Nan. Dr. and Mrs. E. E . Emme and Mr. and Mrs. C. E . Burris celebrated their silver wedding anniversaries jointly at an open house Sunday afternoon, May 6 in the Emme home, 3923 Peters Avenue. Prof. Leo Kucinski, for 15 years a member of the faculty of Morningside Conservatory and former director of Monahan Post Band and conductor of the Sioux City Symhony, has been commissioned a second lieutenant. Lieut. Kucinski is attending a special service training school at Washington and Lee University ,and will be assigned as a supervisor of music in one of the army's service commands at the completion of the course. Dr. J. E. Kirkpatrick, head of the Education Department, has been named a member of the Iowa Teachers' Association Executive Committee to fill an unfinished term. ---M--- Summer Session of '43 a War-Time Affair With an enrollment of 127 students, the 1943 Summer Session has gotten off to a flying start. The student body this summer is distinguished in two special ways: it is a very serious and determined group and it is heavily weighted with young people seeking to accelerate their college training. Seventeen-year-old boys have entered college for th first time this summer in much larger number than in the past. Regular students of the year '42-'43 have enrolled in larger than usual number. Staff members are, for the most part, the regular instructors of the past year. Miss Harriet Woods, of Clarinda Junior College, is returning as visiting professor of Geography. Professor Pritchard of the 81st C.D.T. faculty is helping out with the Physics instruction during Professor Gwinn's absence. ---M--- Co-Incidence Dr. William VanHorne, '36, son of Prof. and Mrs. R. N. VanHorne, and Dr. Jason L. Saunderson, Jr., '35, son of Coach and Mrs. J. M. Saunderson, who grew up side by side on Sioux Trail in Morningside, met unexpectedly for the first time in six years at the American Physics Convention at Pennsylvania State College at State College, Penn. William is head of the chemistry research laboratory at Pennsylvania State College, engaged in research work for Rohm and Haas of Philadelphia and Jason was attending the convention as a member of the Physics Research Dept. of the Dow Chemical Company in Midland, Michigan. June, 1943 Page 3 Miss Loveland Some time in the 90's a girl, recently graduated from Smith College, joined the faculty of Epworth Seminary as teacher of English. The Principal at that time was Dr. Wilson Seeley Lewis, later President of Morningside College and Bishop of the Methodist Episcopal Church. The young lady in question was Miss Helen I. Loveland, Professor of English, Emerita, in Morningside College. Teachers at Epworth at that time were "handpicked" with the result that Dr. Lewis had gathered a faculty that would compare favorably with that of many small colleges of that day. in fact, certain courses were given college credit at standard midwestern colleges. Others on the Epworth faculty at that time were Miss Florence Fulton, known to Morningsiders as Mrs. Lewis, and Mr. William Dodge Lewis who was for many years editor of the John C. Winston publications and joint editor of the Winston English Dictionary. While Miss Loveland had come from the effete east she immediately adapted herself to the conditions of a mid-western preparatory school and soon became a favorite with the students. At that time she showed that sense of judgment, wisdom and liberality which characterized her throughout her career as a teacher. Many a student of that day owes much to Miss Loveland for the self-confidence, aspirations and ideals which she inspired. From Epworth Seminary Miss Loveland was called to the chair of English in Upper Iowa University. When Dr. Lewis became President of Morningside College he brought her from Upper Iowa to become head of the department of English. This position Miss Loveland held until her retirement from active teaching several years ago, interrupted only once when she took sabbatical leave for study at Oxford University, England. If the history of Morningside College were written, it would of necessity give a large place to Helen I. Loveland. She has always stood for high standards of scholarship and broad liberal culture. Her sympathetic understanding of the problems of young people and her noble ideals of character have done much to shape the lives of the students who have come under her instruction. She has lived for these students. The many hours of an always heavy teaching load were put in gladly for the College and for her students. Even now one of her greatest pleasures is to have an old Morningsider come to her home at 3607 Peters Avenue to call. That affection for her students was a great one and it still exists. "I'D LOVE TO LIVE IN LOVELAND" These were the words of a familiar ditty adopted as their own by the girls of "Loveland Cottage," "way back when" I first lived there. They became increasingly true as time went on; we really "loved" to live there. It was never a mere place to eat and sleep: there was a feeling of unity-almost of family solidarity - that seems to me unique. Why was this so? I have come to think the reasons were two-Miss Helen and Miss Elizabeth Loveland. Truly Christian gentlewomen, they manifested a personal interest in every one of us and soon gained a knowledge of our home and family backgrounds Was one of us timid? That one was drawn out and encouraged to contribute to the talk at table. Had another a toocutting wit? Ways could be found to sheath its edge. If haste (or hunger) made us forget our manners, a quizzical sidelong glance from Miss Helen who sat at the center of one side of the long table restrained us without drawing the attention of the r est. Good conversation on matters of interest to us all was the rule, enforced only by her adroit suggestion and skillful leading. About that table we met distinguish ed guests-bishops of the church, returned missionaries, Y. W. secretaries, and people who were accomplishing things in Sioux City. Equally welcome were our own relatives and friends. Miss Elizabeth was the guardian of our physical well-being. Her brisk and efficient management of the students (boys and girls), who helped themselves to education by helping her, insured that lawn and garden would be cared for, floors and furniture dusted and polished, dishes thoroughly washed and dried, and all of us well and promptly fed. More than one man and woman, now in positions of honor and responsibility, have Miss Elizabeth to thank for honest habits of work and the conviction that "getting by" is not good enough. Very frequently we went from breakfast to the living room where we stood to sing a few verses of favorite hymns and listen to a brief passage of Scripture. Or sometimes we recited favorite verses or joined in a familiar Psalm. Prayer followed, led sometimes by Miss Helen or one of our number: at other times sentence prayers from the group of unison prayers were used. No one was compelled to this exercise but few of us cared to absent ourselves, finding in it a source of strength as well as of unity. Holidays and birthdays were appropriately celebrated and we who had vacation time anniversaries might choose a day in the school year for our celebration. Great was the interest when the birthday cake went around the long table 'til claimed by the celebrant. An interesting custom had to do with favorite menus. Each of us submitted three, one for each meal; when they appeared on the table we claimed our own and sometimes came in for much good-natured "ribbing" for our peculiar tastes or strange combinations of dishes. For a number of years on February 22 (while the male population attended the Men's Banquet) the girls staged a colonial wedding. Elaborate preparations were made, and costumes evolved. "Old girls" living or teaching nearby, returned to share in the fun and enjoy the "Washington Dinner" complete with cherry pie and hatchets. Yes, we truly did "love to live in Loveland" under the beneficent care of the Lovelands, whom generations of "Lovelanders' rise up to call blessed. Anna Beard Madison, '16. ---M--- WITH OUR BOYS Lt.

Y. 119 West 40th Street MORNINGSIDE COLLEGE CHOIR SERIES RELEASED As the result of Professor MacCollin's desire to have the Morningside College Choir represented in the field of published music, a set of new American choral works has been compiled and recently released through the interest and cooperation of J. Fischer and Brother, New York music publishers. The edition is known as the Morningside College Choir Series, selected and edited by Paul MacCollin, and it offers a variety of numbers particularly suited to high school and college singing groups. "The Series will be expanded steadily, and at present the following composers and their works are included: Dr. Wayne Barlow, of the Eastman School of Music, Rochaester, N. Y.; Madrigal for Bright Morning; Dr. Matthew N . Lundquist, Director of the Department of Music, Niagara University, Niagra Falls, N. Y.; Evening Song; Miss Frances MacCollin, Philadelphia com poser and lecturer: All My Heart This Night Rejoices; Dr. Leo Sowerby, Chicago composer, teacher and organist: God Who Made the Earth; and Thomas Canning, of the Morningside Conservatory of Music: Three Old Nursery Rhymes. Conference Record Two items of recent news will interest all Morningsiders. First, the annual collection for Morningside from the Northwest Iowa Conference of the Methodist Church leads the nation in per capita giving for church colleges. The record was reported in the June 3, 1943 issue of the Christian Advocate, which is the Methodist weekly with 250,000 readers (largest in Protestantism) . The following is a quotation from the story: "The pace for increased support for conference institutions is being set now by several Conferences. Northwest Iowa, which supports Morningside College, has the highest per capita record for giving to the current support of an educational institution. If the whole Church would follow the example set by the Methodists of this Conference, the giving from the Church would be $2,720,000, or a quarter of a million more than all of our colleges get now from their endowment investments." The second item concerns the success of the annual Sioux City spring drive for current support. The campaign for $30,000 dollars was more easily executed and with less effort than in previous years. A special feature inaugurating the solicitation was a gift guest luncheon by Mr. and Mrs. C. S. Van Eaton, of the O. P. Skaggs system, for one hundred and fifteen of the workers.] MARRIAGES Lainys Kitterman, '43, to Lawrence D. Boyer, a graduate of McPherson College, Kan., on June 3 in Kingsley.

Mahoney This fiftieth year for Morningside College should be the best , the finest, in her history. It is true, of course, that the war effort has materially reduced the number of regularly enrolled undergraduate men. The United States Army's cadets made up that reduction, however. We are fortunate that these boys are a fine group clean-cut, hard working, well disciplined. We have approximately two hundred fifty undergraduate women. The teaching staff is at full strength; the courses offered are more complete, more balanced than ever. Your alumni association, in co-operation with the faculty, the Fiftieth Year Committee, the Board of Trustees, and the undergraduates, plans a full program as part of the fiftieth year celebration. Your alumni bulletin will fully outline these plans as they develop. Homecoming Week-end is scheduled October 15, 16, and 17th. We are particularly anxious that everyone be present who can possibly do so. Preliminary surveys show us that we will have one of the finest groups of returning alumni we have had, and a full program of entertainment is planned. Make your plans now to be with us. This is MORNINGSIDE'S YEAR! ---M--- Blue Network Program Honors Morningside "Every Morningsider at his Radio" at a time corresponding to 12 noon, Central War Time, is the slogan for Homecoming this year. By this means each one may return in spirit to campus scenes and activities and have a part in the Homecoming festivities. "Wake Up America," a Blue Network broadcast, will originate from the Morningside Campus Sunday noon, October 17, from 12 to 12:45, Central War Time. The "Wake Up America" program will climax the Homecoming event. The subject to be discussed is "Can the Liberal Arts College be Revitalized?" The national educational leaders for t his program will be Dr. Howard L. Bevis, President of Ohio State University, Columbus, Ohio; Dr. Carter Davidson, President of Knox College, Galesburg, Illinois; Dr. William Peirce, Chairman of the Board of Trustees of the radio forum, "Wake Up America." A short statement regarding the progress of Morningside and greetings to Morningsiders everywhere will be given by Dr. Roadman. All Morningside radios will cry out to be privileged to carry this college program to Mornnigside friends. Dr. T. C. Stephens Thomas Calderwood Stephens, A. B., M. D., Professor of Biology, came to Morningside in 1906. Since that time he has introduced countless students to the fascinating life histories of the plants and animals among which we live. He has taught them, along with the facts, keenness of observation, attention to detail, exactness - in short, the essentials demanded by any science. Regularly, from Biology, the embryo scientists have eagerly enrolled in his other courses - embryology, histology, cryptogamic botany, ornithology. Whichever course they take they leave Dr. Stephens' laboratory with so thorough a basic training that successive steps in their professional courses come easily to them. Indeed, the list of scientists whom Dr. Stephens has started on their careers might be taken from "Who's Who." Whenever any one of the students who has penetrated the secrets of the "advanced lab," comes back to visit Morning side his first objective is to climb the south stairs, turn right, go round the book stacks, and meet Doctor Stephens' welcoming smile. the smile and the interest are as warm for the student who has turned h er scientific training to child care and canning as for the one who has attained high honor in a profession. The Doctor is a quiet man, unassuming . The students see him striding along, brief case in hand, looking a bit absent-minded, perhaps, and unless they enroll in Biology, they have no conception of the power and persistence there is in the man. He has devoted his life to science, and has inspired an amazing number of men and women, in these thirty-odd years of service, to notable achievements in his field. No man can do more. Doctor Stephens has spent most of his summers at the Iowa Lakeside Laboratory on Okoboji. Those of us fortunate enough to have worked there with him have an endless number of happy memories of the association. Through his interest in birds - the founding of the Sioux City Bird Club, contributions to scientific magazines, offices he has held in state and national scientific societies - he has made many friends, not only in this community but over Iowa and the whole United States. All these people have had their interest and enjoyment of nature increased many fold. Yet with all this to his credit, I think the Doctor is proud only of the achievement s of his students. Dr. George W. Dunn, '21, In Summer School Commencement Summer School Commencement was held Wednesday, August 25, in Grace Church, with 12 graduates receiving diplomas. Dr. George W. Dunn's subject was "Eyes that See the Invisible." Theodore Walensky had left for service in the Marines two days prior to the commencement date. His father, Mr. Grant Walensky, received his diploma for him. Ensign Clark Watkins, a boyhood friend of Stanley Munger, received Stanley's diploma. Ensign Watkins was on brief leave after having assisted in the Sicilian invasion landing. His ship had been employed in returning prisoners to the United States, which made possible his leave. Five of the graduates will teach. They are Bette Buell, Kingsley; Helen Eyres, Sioux City ; Harriett Kirby, George; Trula Gearas, Mar engo; Miles Tommer.aasen, Canton, S. Dak. Francis Brockman will enter Boston Theological School and Murphy Duncan will continue at his pastorate in Arthur, Iowa. Ann Holliday, of Sioux City, will engage in social work.

The two older girls, Kathryn and Louise, both graduates of Morningside, are married. John, Jr., is serving with the Seabees, while the two younger children are still at home. While his leaving will be a distinct loss to the community and to the Northwest Iowa Conference, he will be in a position to do even greater work, as the Sioux Falls charge is one of the largest in the Dakotas. ---M--- FRESHMEN ENROLL The opening of college this fall found Morningside ready to welcome a fine, enthusiastic group of freshmen. This class, numbering around one hundred, about 25 percent of which are boys, makes up in quality what it lacks in quantity. The traditional green caps are beginning to appear, plans for freshmen-sophomore day are in progress, and these new youngsters already seem to be very much a part of Morningside. It will be college as usual for all civilian students. �September, 1943 Page 3 CLASS NOTES Mrs. Harland Mossman, (Helen Wilson, '08 ) has been engaged in war service in the Navy department in Washington, D.

During the first year, which closed at Commencement, 1942, seventy-seven people had joined with you in an annual pledge of loyalty to Morningside College and her needs. The total amount subscribed in the first year was $1,600. During the second year, culminating at Commencement in June, 1943, 216 members had joined your ranks, with a total income to the College of $6,484.00. In addition to the employment of Mrs. Florence Montgomery Kingsbury as secretary, $1,000 has been used in the purchase of library books. Every alumnus and former student is proud of and happy for the inspiration which you and your committee have given to this work. Many have expressed gratitude that you have persisted in the effort to start this movement. I am frequently assured that it will grow and multipy many fold. Nothing increases success like success. Your success, to date, is a guarantee of an increasing momentum for the future. Most sincerely, Earl A. Roadman �September, 1943 Page 5 J. H. Lawrence Eberly Marian Green McClaren Daryl G.

CAMPBELL Morningside Alumni will be grieved to learn of the death of Mrs. Campbell, who passed away at her home on Wednesday morning Sept. 15. Her death is a great loss to the college, the community, and a great part of the world. Her interests were broad, her nature generous, and her spirit unconquerable. For 25 years before the outbreak of the present war, Mrs. Campbell conducted European tours. She had made 24 such tours and trips to South America, two to Hawaii and three to Alaska. The last trip to South America was made by air in 1940 and covered about 60,000 miles. She spoke five languages; English, French, German, Italian, and Spanish. Those comprising her tours came from every state in the union. These fellow tourists she liked to call her "family". She kept in touch with all by writing an annual letter which she termed her "family letter." She came, her friends said, to be regarded as a force in inter American relations between her native land and the nations she visited. She aided financially students enrolled at Morningside College, from China and South America. Among these are Emilio Arredondo of La Paz, Bolivia, now a student at Morningside. Another, Sofia Orejuela now a student at the University of Denver. She and her husband both served during the world war. He was with the Y.M.C.A., and she was a canteen hostess. She went to Germany with the army of occupation serving several months there. She contributed most generously to the cause of missions, education, and promotion of World Peace. Mrs. Campbell was a member of Grace Methodist Church, Chapter D X, P. E . O., the Quota Club, the Business and Professional Womens' Club, the Sioux City Woman's Club, Knife and Fork Club, American Association of University Women, Sorosis and Fortnightly Clubs. To all she gave enthusiastically of her time and ability. Mrs. Campbell was born August 4, 1871, in Early, la. She was a graduate of Cornell College at Mount Vernon, Ia., took postgraduate work at Cornell University at Ithaca, N . Y., and with her husband studied later in Heidelberg. Surviving are a sister, Mrs. Phil Wadell, of Villard, Minn.; a brother, William Reeder of Early; two nephews, Douglas Reeder of Longview, Wash.; and First Lieut. Bruce Reeder with a bomber command at Tampa, Fla. In Grace Church on Saturday afternoon a beautiful and fitting tribute to her remarkable life was paid by her pastor, Reverend Bean, and her body was laid to rest in Graceland Cemetery beside that of Professor Campbell. ORDER OF THE DAY PLAN TO ATTEND HOMECOMING AT MORNINGSIDE, OCTOBER 15, 16 and 17 Football Dropped at Morningside For the Duration Due to lack of eligible players and wartime transportation problems, Morningside College has definitely dropped football for the coming season. While local fans will no doubt be disappointed in not having the football games to attend, college officials are more than justified in omitting football for the duration. Members of the North Central Conference voted last spring in Minneapolis to drop the restrictions on players and all members have dropped football this fall. Some hopes were entertained here during the summer that sufficient players could be rounded up t o have a team, but the arrived forces took practically all available players, leaving less than twenty men from which to shape a team. The College has not abandoned athletics as it is conducting an active program this fall for all students who are physically fit. Unless war conditions prohibit, a full basketball schedule will be followed during the winter months. Homecoming will be held this year on Saturday, October 16th. Highlighting the activities will be a football game between the 81st College Training Detachment at Morningside and one from a unit of similar size stationed in the area. ---M--- DEATHS Mrs. H. R. Rigg (Ena Lillian Curry, '24) passed away in Long Beach, Califo.:mia, November 28, 1942. Services were held at Mottells' Chapel. Miss Ruth Whitlock, a member of the class of '34, passed away on July 6 in Sioux City, following an extended illness. She was born in Dana, Ind., and was graduated from Zionsville, Indiana, high school. After receiving her degree at Morningside, she attended Butler University and the University of Chicago. She was assistant registrar at the college until January, 1943, when she resigned her position because of ill health. Ruth was a member of Eastern Star and the Morningside Presbyterian Church, where services were conducted by her past or, Rev. W. R. Moore. �Page 6 September, 1943 Morningside College Will Open Extension Classes The Down Town Division of Morningside College opens Oct. 4 in the Commerce Building.

Kindig, '35, aboard a merchant ship which was under enemy attack 12 times, has been commended for "courage, endurance, and devotion to duty" by the assistant chief of naval personnel. The letter of commendation says in part: "This bureau has been informed of your outstanding service as officer in charge of the armed guard on board a United States merchant vessel on a protracted voyage on which you were away from the United States in excess of six months. "During this voyage this vessel was subjected to heavy enemy aerial and submarine attack. You led your men with valor to combat the enemy, and in official reports your gun crew is credited with the probable destruction of one enemy plane." The ship was one of four merchant vessels loaded with identical cargoes to run the axis gauntlet through the Mediterranean at a time when no allied vessel had passed safely through the sea for months. At present Lieut. and Mrs. Kindig (Esther White, '36), are living at Gulfport, Miss., where Lowell is an instructor in the Armed Guard School. Lieut. Ralph O. Brown, '41, has been decorated with the Air Medal, and cited for meritorius achievement while participating in an aerial flight over Talasea, New Britain, according to word received by Mrs. Brown, (Betty Lou Saunderson, ex '42). He was a member of the crew of a B-24 type aircraft engaged in an armed reconaissance mission when an enemy cargo vessel was sighted. Bombs were dropped and two direct hits were scored on the vessel, which sank within three minutes. This aircraft then continued on its flight and dropped the remaining bombs north of the Gasmata runway. Lt. Brown also shot down two zeros recently over New Britain.

Mahoney This fiftieth year for Morningside College should be the best , the finest, in her history. It is true, of course, that the war effort has materially reduced the number of regularly enrolled undergraduate men. The United States Army's cadets made up that reduction, however. We are fortunate that these boys are a fine group clean-cut, hard working, well disciplined. We have approximately two hundred fifty undergraduate women. The teaching staff is at full strength; the courses offered are more complete, more balanced than ever. Your alumni association, in co-operation with the faculty, the Fiftieth Year Committee, the Board of Trustees, and the undergraduates, plans a full program as part of the fiftieth year celebration. Your alumni bulletin will fully outline these plans as they develop. Homecoming Week-end is scheduled October 15, 16, and 17th. We are particularly anxious that everyone be present who can possibly do so. Preliminary surveys show us that we will have one of the finest groups of returning alumni we have had, and a full program of entertainment is planned. Make your plans now to be with us. This is MORNINGSIDE'S YEAR! ---M--- Blue Network Program Honors Morningside "Every Morningsider at his Radio" at a time corresponding to 12 noon, Central War Time, is the slogan for Homecoming this year. By this means each one may return in spirit to campus scenes and activities and have a part in the Homecoming festivities. "Wake Up America," a Blue Network broadcast, will originate from the Morningside Campus Sunday noon, October 17, from 12 to 12:45, Central War Time. The "Wake Up America" program will climax the Homecoming event. The subject to be discussed is "Can the Liberal Arts College be Revitalized?" The national educational leaders for t his program will be Dr. Howard L. Bevis, President of Ohio State University, Columbus, Ohio; Dr. Carter Davidson, President of Knox College, Galesburg, Illinois; Dr. William Peirce, Chairman of the Board of Trustees of the radio forum, "Wake Up America." A short statement regarding the progress of Morningside and greetings to Morningsiders everywhere will be given by Dr. Roadman. All Morningside radios will cry out to be privileged to carry this college program to Mornnigside friends. Dr. T. C. Stephens Thomas Calderwood Stephens, A. B., M. D., Professor of Biology, came to Morningside in 1906. Since that time he has introduced countless students to the fascinating life histories of the plants and animals among which we live. He has taught them, along with the facts, keenness of observation, attention to detail, exactness - in short, the essentials demanded by any science. Regularly, from Biology, the embryo scientists have eagerly enrolled in his other courses - embryology, histology, cryptogamic botany, ornithology. Whichever course they take they leave Dr. Stephens' laboratory with so thorough a basic training that successive steps in their professional courses come easily to them. Indeed, the list of scientists whom Dr. Stephens has started on their careers might be taken from "Who's Who." Whenever any one of the students who has penetrated the secrets of the "advanced lab," comes back to visit Morning side his first objective is to climb the south stairs, turn right, go round the book stacks, and meet Doctor Stephens' welcoming smile. the smile and the interest are as warm for the student who has turned h er scientific training to child care and canning as for the one who has attained high honor in a profession. The Doctor is a quiet man, unassuming . The students see him striding along, brief case in hand, looking a bit absent-minded, perhaps, and unless they enroll in Biology, they have no conception of the power and persistence there is in the man. He has devoted his life to science, and has inspired an amazing number of men and women, in these thirty-odd years of service, to notable achievements in his field. No man can do more. Doctor Stephens has spent most of his summers at the Iowa Lakeside Laboratory on Okoboji. Those of us fortunate enough to have worked there with him have an endless number of happy memories of the association. Through his interest in birds - the founding of the Sioux City Bird Club, contributions to scientific magazines, offices he has held in state and national scientific societies - he has made many friends, not only in this community but over Iowa and the whole United States. All these people have had their interest and enjoyment of nature increased many fold. Yet with all this to his credit, I think the Doctor is proud only of the achievement s of his students. Dr. George W. Dunn, '21, In Summer School Commencement Summer School Commencement was held Wednesday, August 25, in Grace Church, with 12 graduates receiving diplomas. Dr. George W. Dunn's subject was "Eyes that See the Invisible." Theodore Walensky had left for service in the Marines two days prior to the commencement date. His father, Mr. Grant Walensky, received his diploma for him. Ensign Clark Watkins, a boyhood friend of Stanley Munger, received Stanley's diploma. Ensign Watkins was on brief leave after having assisted in the Sicilian invasion landing. His ship had been employed in returning prisoners to the United States, which made possible his leave. Five of the graduates will teach. They are Bette Buell, Kingsley; Helen Eyres, Sioux City ; Harriett Kirby, George; Trula Gearas, Mar engo; Miles Tommer.aasen, Canton, S. Dak. Francis Brockman will enter Boston Theological School and Murphy Duncan will continue at his pastorate in Arthur, Iowa. Ann Holliday, of Sioux City, will engage in social work. Ruth Walker expects to be called into active duty in the WAVES soon. Three boys have entered the armed services. Stanley P. Manger, and Sibley B. Newman are in Officers' Training at the Midshipmen's School in Chicago; Theodore Walensky is stationed with the Marines at Farris Island, South Carolina. ---M--- $250,000 Campaign Fund Approved for Morningside A $250,000 campaign fund for Morningside College was approved Thursday by the Northwest Iowa conference at Fort Dodge, $100,000 to be spent for a new science building, $23,539.92 "for much needed improvements" and the remainder of the fund to retire indebtedness of $126,461.08.

In 1922 he received his bachelor of divinity degree from the Garrett Biblical Institute at Evanston, Illinois, and the following year his master's degree from Northwestern University. In 1924 he studied at the divinity school at the University of Chicago. Rev. and Mrs. Madison are the parents of five children, three girls and two boys. The two older girls, Kathryn and Louise, both graduates of Morningside, are married. John, Jr., is serving with the Seabees, while the two younger children are still at home. While his leaving will be a distinct loss to the community and to the Northwest Iowa Conference, he will be in a position to do even greater work, as the Sioux Falls charge is one of the largest in the Dakotas. ---M--- FRESHMEN ENROLL The opening of college this fall found Morningside ready to welcome a fine, enthusiastic group of freshmen. This class, numbering around one hundred, about 25 percent of which are boys, makes up in quality what it lacks in quantity. The traditional green caps are beginning to appear, plans for freshmen-sophomore day are in progress, and these new youngsters already seem to be very much a part of Morningside. It will be college as usual for all civilian students. September, 1943 Page 3 CLASS NOTES Mrs. Harland Mossman, (Helen Wilson, '08 ) has been engaged in war service in the Navy department in Washington, D.

During the first year, which closed at Commencement, 1942, seventy-seven people had joined with you in an annual pledge of loyalty to Morningside College and her needs. The total amount subscribed in the first year was $1,600. During the second year, culminating at Commencement in June, 1943, 216 members had joined your ranks, with a total income to the College of $6,484.00. In addition to the employment of Mrs. Florence Montgomery Kingsbury as secretary, $1,000 has been used in the purchase of library books. Every alumnus and former student is proud of and happy for the inspiration which you and your committee have given to this work. Many have expressed gratitude that you have persisted in the effort to start this movement. I am frequently assured that it will grow and multipy many fold. Nothing increases success like success. Your success, to date, is a guarantee of an increasing momentum for the future. Most sincerely, Earl A. Roadman September, 1943 Page 5 J. H. Lawrence Eberly Marian Green McClaren Daryl G.

CAMPBELL Morningside Alumni will be grieved to learn of the death of Mrs. Campbell, who passed away at her home on Wednesday morning Sept. 15. Her death is a great loss to the college, the community, and a great part of the world. Her interests were broad, her nature generous, and her spirit unconquerable. For 25 years before the outbreak of the present war, Mrs. Campbell conducted European tours. She had made 24 such tours and trips to South America, two to Hawaii and three to Alaska. The last trip to South America was made by air in 1940 and covered about 60,000 miles. She spoke five languages; English, French, German, Italian, and Spanish. Those comprising her tours came from every state in the union. These fellow tourists she liked to call her "family". She kept in touch with all by writing an annual letter which she termed her "family letter." She came, her friends said, to be regarded as a force in inter American relations between her native land and the nations she visited. She aided financially students enrolled at Morningside College, from China and South America. Among these are Emilio Arredondo of La Paz, Bolivia, now a student at Morningside. Another, Sofia Orejuela now a student at the University of Denver. She and her husband both served during the world war. He was with the Y.M.C.A., and she was a canteen hostess. She went to Germany with the army of occupation serving several months there. She contributed most generously to the cause of missions, education, and promotion of World Peace. Mrs. Campbell was a member of Grace Methodist Church, Chapter D X, P. E . O., the Quota Club, the Business and Professional Womens' Club, the Sioux City Woman's Club, Knife and Fork Club, American Association of University Women, Sorosis and Fortnightly Clubs. To all she gave enthusiastically of her time and ability. Mrs. Campbell was born August 4, 1871, in Early, la. She was a graduate of Cornell College at Mount Vernon, Ia., took postgraduate work at Cornell University at Ithaca, N . Y., and with her husband studied later in Heidelberg. Surviving are a sister, Mrs. Phil Wadell, of Villard, Minn.; a brother, William Reeder of Early; two nephews, Douglas Reeder of Longview, Wash.; and First Lieut. Bruce Reeder with a bomber command at Tampa, Fla. In Grace Church on Saturday afternoon a beautiful and fitting tribute to her remarkable life was paid by her pastor, Reverend Bean, and her body was laid to rest in Graceland Cemetery beside that of Professor Campbell. ORDER OF THE DAY PLAN TO ATTEND HOMECOMING AT MORNINGSIDE, OCTOBER 15, 16 and 17 Football Dropped at Morningside For the Duration Due to lack of eligible players and wartime transportation problems, Morningside College has definitely dropped football for the coming season. While local fans will no doubt be disappointed in not having the football games to attend, college officials are more than justified in omitting football for the duration. Members of the North Central Conference voted last spring in Minneapolis to drop the restrictions on players and all members have dropped football this fall. Some hopes were entertained here during the summer that sufficient players could be rounded up t o have a team, but the arrived forces took practically all available players, leaving less than twenty men from which to shape a team. The College has not abandoned athletics as it is conducting an active program this fall for all students who are physically fit. Unless war conditions prohibit, a full basketball schedule will be followed during the winter months. Homecoming will be held this year on Saturday, October 16th. Highlighting the activities will be a football game between the 81st College Training Detachment at Morningside and one from a unit of similar size stationed in the area. ---M--- DEATHS Mrs. H. R. Rigg (Ena Lillian Curry, '24) passed away in Long Beach, Califo.:mia, November 28, 1942. Services were held at Mottells' Chapel. Miss Ruth Whitlock, a member of the class of '34, passed away on July 6 in Sioux City, following an extended illness. She was born in Dana, Ind., and was graduated from Zionsville, Indiana, high school. After receiving her degree at Morningside, she attended Butler University and the University of Chicago. She was assistant registrar at the college until January, 1943, when she resigned her position because of ill health. Ruth was a member of Eastern Star and the Morningside Presbyterian Church, where services were conducted by her past or, Rev. W. R. Moore. Page 6 September, 1943 Morningside College Will Open Extension Classes The Down Town Division of Morningside College opens Oct. 4 in the Commerce Building.

Kindig, '35, aboard a merchant ship which was under enemy attack 12 times, has been commended for "courage, endurance, and devotion to duty" by the assistant chief of naval personnel. The letter of commendation says in part: "This bureau has been informed of your outstanding service as officer in charge of the armed guard on board a United States merchant vessel on a protracted voyage on which you were away from the United States in excess of six months. "During this voyage this vessel was subjected to heavy enemy aerial and submarine attack. You led your men with valor to combat the enemy, and in official reports your gun crew is credited with the probable destruction of one enemy plane." The ship was one of four merchant vessels loaded with identical cargoes to run the axis gauntlet through the Mediterranean at a time when no allied vessel had passed safely through the sea for months. At present Lieut. and Mrs. Kindig (Esther White, '36), are living at Gulfport, Miss., where Lowell is an instructor in the Armed Guard School. Lieut. Ralph O. Brown, '41, has been decorated with the Air Medal, and cited for meritorius achievement while participating in an aerial flight over Talasea, New Britain, according to word received by Mrs. Brown, (Betty Lou Saunderson, ex '42). He was a member of the crew of a B-24 type aircraft engaged in an armed reconaissance mission when an enemy cargo vessel was sighted. Bombs were dropped and two direct hits were scored on the vessel, which sank within three minutes. This aircraft then continued on its flight and dropped the remaining bombs north of the Gasmata runway. Lt. Brown also shot down two zeros recently over New Britain.

The United Anniversary Campaign will secure $250,000 for Morningside College as a Fiftieth Birthday gift and give $100,000 to the permanent funds of the Pension Fund of Northwest Iowa Methodist Ministers. The $250,000 to be raised will be used for retirement of the indebtedness of $126,461, $23,539 for repairs and improvements and $100,000 toward a new Science Hall. Organized t hrough the existing agencies of the church under the guidance of Bishop J . Ralph Magee and the four District Superintendents, the campaign will operate through the local churches with goals set up in each church on the basis of active membership. L. D. Snyder, Executive Director of the movement, is a prominent Methodist layman who has had experience in public work and who assumes leadership with the full cooperation of the Northwest Iowa Conference. Assisting Mr. Snyder will be V. V. Schuldt, Secretary, who has been Director of Admissions of Morningside College, and W. L. Breaw, of Humboldt, Treasurer. Other alumni serving on the Board of Directors are Parnell H. Mahoney, President of the Alumni Association, F. Earl Burgess, James I. Dolliver, John A. Farnham, Clif-· ford D. Jory, E rnest M. Raun, Lloyd H. Scheerer, Geor ge E . Scheider and Ronald Wilson. In announcing the Campaign, President Roadman pointed out to the Conference that the total amount of the drive is equal to less than the cost of one modern bomber and reminded his hearers that "we cannot have peace unless the people of America are willing to give more than one-tenth the amount they are now giving for the horrible ravages of war in the interests of peace", in the words of Lt. Colonel Horace F. Wulf '18, who is now in Fort Benning, Georgia. Following up this suggestion, Dean W. J . Scarborough proposed the slogan, "After the Bomber the Builder", which was adopted for the motto of the drive. ATTENTION ! All Morningsiders attending the Iowa State Teachers' Association in Des Moines, Nov. 4, 5 and 6 are invited to the Morningside dinner and reunion which will be h eld Friday evening at 5:30 at the ,Terrace Cafe. Please make reservations by Friday noon either with Dr. J. E. Kirkpatrick, Ft. Des Moines hotel or with Florence M. Kingsbury, Alumni Sec'y, at the Shrine Auditorium, or call the Terrace Cafe. Former Faculty Notes Faith Foster Woodford To come back to your Alma Mater to teach, to grow into maturity with old friends of youth still about one to help enjoy the new and to remember the good clays of old, t o live almost continuously in the open free landscape of the Morningside College environment, this has been Miss Faith Foster Woodford's pleasurable experience. True, she has lived in Europe during periods of study; sh e has travelled far and wide in her own country, but each journey out has ended in the privilege of returning to her old home under the blue Iowa sky. And Miss W.o odford would know how to appreciate beauty and color though used to it, to enjoy with never diminishing zest the unconscious translation of these bright influences into her contact with students. Starting with the piano as her major channel of musical expression, she has broadened into an ever increasing knowledge of the history of music. This latter experience of itself equips for the bringing to the student who is not specializing in music, a practical appreciation of music. And Miss Woodford can tell college students what's what in English; she will do it politely, tactfully, but firmly. Another interest of Miss Woodford's is the organ. At present she is Dean of the Sioux City Chapter of the American Guild of Organist s. With never diminishing patience she has helped to install and to carry on the local Phi Zeta Chapter of the National Musical Sorority, Mu Phi Epsilon, building in the young women with whom she has worked closely, a fine sense of social poise and responsibility for task s undertaken. In Ensign John Felton, who resigned as speech instructor to enter the navy last spring, has left for duty in the South Pacific, according to word received from Mrs. Felton. She and their two children are residing at 250 W. Lorain, Oberlin, Ohio. Lt. Leo Kucinski, former violin instructor in the Conservatory and conductor of the Monahan Post Band, has been assigned to service in the South Pacific. In a recent visit to his home in Sioux City, Lt. Kucinski gave a very enthusiastic report of his musical experience in the army. Discussing the opportumties the army offers musicians, Lt Kucinski said, "Soldiers can play in the fmest bands in the country. There are many outstanding musicians in the army, because we have a cross section of America. Concert artists have an opportunity to perform at any function. I have met many artists in the army who appeared with our orchestra here (Sioux City) and are continuing their work in the army. The army has the finest of swing bands, but it does not neglect classical music appreciation." Mrs. Richard Clayton has succeeded Miss Edwarda Metz as instructor in piano in the Morningside conservatory. Miss Metz has accepted a position in the conservatory of Mary Baldwin College in Staunton, W. Va. Mrs. Clayton graduated with honors from the Eastman School of Music where she held a teaching fellowship. She has also studied under Frank Sheridan at Juilliard. She is a member of Mu Phi Espsilon music fraternity and has taught in the College of Ozarks, West Liberty State Teachers' College and in Wheeling, W. Va. Lois Simons, former women's physical education instructor at Morningside, was commissioned an E nsign the last of September. She is stationed a t Hunter College, in the Wave Reserve. Everett Timm, in charge of the A.A.F. band at Galveston, Texas, has ben promoted to the rank of Corporal. Concert Course Opens The concert by the Sioux City Symphony orchestra, conducted by Henri Pensis, of the Morningside College Conservatory, and with I saac Stern, violinist, as the distinguished guest soloist, formally opened the concert series of the 1943-44 season on Monday evening, October 15. ·T he brilliant pe.rformance of the orchestra and of Mr. Stern evoked an enthusiastic ovation from the audience. short, Miss Woodford now enjoys living in her old home, enjoys having become a fellow worker with the faculty that taught her, and it m ay be said with certainty, that they enjoy her.

The chapel was the scene of the coronation of Miss Ferne Dunn, senior member of Kappa Zeta Chi sorority, with Miss Willo Jean Niemeyer and Miss Mary Ellen Snyder as her attendants. This year the escorts of the coeds were three student cadet officers. Miss Mariellen Rifenbark, last year's queen, presented her crown to Dr. Roadman, who in turn placed it upon the head of Miss Dunn.

Winner was Kappa Zeta Chi sorority, members of which appeared uniformly dressed in scarlet sweaters and black skirts. Judges were Professor James Reistrup, Miss Marcia McNee, and Dr. W. J. Scarborough. A faculty open house for alumni and students in the Student Union Room followed the coronation ceremonies. Saturday morning the Army Air Corps calisthenics drill proved of interest to many visitors. At noon the "M" Club luncheon was held at Bishop's cafeteria. Bill Danforth, '30, was in charge and a large number of "M" Club men took the opportunity to meet with their fellow members. Sorority luncheons for the alumnae were held. At two o'clock on Bass field, the members of women's physical education training �October, 1943 Page 3 Dean W. J. Scarborough, Rev. J. C. Buthman, Dr. Fred G. Clark, President Roadman, Dean M. E. Graber and Dean Alva Tolf The above picture was taken as Dr. Earl A. Roadman bestowed the honorary degree of Docto.r of Laws upon Fred G. Clark, general chairman of the Economic Foundation and Moderator of the "Wake Up America" broadcast in Grace Methodist Church. As a climax to the colorful festivities of the wartime Homecoming program, Morningside students and faculty were hosts to the "Wake Up America" broadcast over the Blue Network at 12:00 o'clock, Sunday, in Grace Methodist Church. The audience filled the church to capacity. The question, "Can the Liberal Arts College be Revitalized?", was discussed by Dr. Davidson, president of Knox College, Dr. Bevis, president of Ohio State University, and our own Dr. Roadman. Fred G. Clark, on whom an honorary Doctor of Laws degree was conferred by Morningside College at the church service preceding the program, is general chairman of the American Economic Foundation, and acted as moderator of the broadcast. The participants drew on their combined experience and training as they told of the important position which the liberal arts college has played in the development of our people, and of the place which it must fill in the future. The three educator s emphasized the part that the colleges are playing in our all-out war effort, as they told of the various war service groups which are utilizing the nation's classrooms to sharpen our fighting men for the present conflict. Dr. Clark expressed his delight over the fine attitude of the audience and the fact that he considered this to be one of the best "Wake Up America" programs ever sent over the air. The program was heard by Morningsiders in all parts of the United States, and many have expressed their pleasure over hearing such a wonderful program originating on the campus of their Alma Mater. Especially were they thrilled to hear Dr. Roadman's voice, his words ringing out clear-cut and decisive over the air, and making them feel as if they had really been participating in Homecoming. The broadcast gave Sioux City and Morningside College wide publicity throughout the nation and many people who wer e unaware that Morningside existed are now quite conscious that there is an up and coming liberal arts college in Sioux City. The dinner to honor the guests of the "Wake U p America" broadcast was held at the Mayfair Hotel at 2 o'clock. A group of 250 distinguished Sioux Cityans and members of the surrounding territory were guests of the college at a beautifully appointed dinner. The program, presided over by Dr. Roadman, included an invocation by George W. Dunn, '21, music by Elizabeth Newton MacCollin '39, and Greetings to "Wake U p America" by Dean M. E. Graber, Mr. David W. Stewart, and Mr. E. T. Flaherty, in behalf of the faculty, the Board of Trustees, and KSCJ radio station respectively. Dr. Fred G. Clark delivered a most interesting and informative address on "Radio Education". classes, under the direction of Miss Liba, physical education instructor, presented a calisthenics drill. Dressed in maroon and white gym suits, they made a pretty picture as they marched and executed their formations in perfect rhythm and timing . Two teams of cadets, one supported by the upper classmen and the other by the freshmen, provided excitement in a fast game of touch football. Highlighting the afternoon's prog ram were the precision drill and the r etreat ceremony presented by the cadets. A flight of 48 picked men executed difficult drill formations a lmost faultlessly under the command of Student Major McTiernan. For fift een minutes the flight entertained and amazed the spectators with every maneuver in the books. Retreat, always a striking ceremony, was particularly inspiring a s the entire detachment of cadet s paraded before the grandst and of students and friends to the martial music provided by the Post band. Reviewing the troops were the command- ing officer, Captain Kitzmiller, First Lt. Caffee, post a dujtant, and Lts. Cohen and Dilks, tactical officers. Captain Kitzmiller had as g uests beside him in the reviewing stand Dr. Earl Roadman and Mr. D. W. Stewart, President of the Board of Trustees. As a fitting close to the day's festivities, the annual Homecoming Dance was h eld in the gym which had been appropriately decorated for the occasion. Alumni, faculty, students, and cadets enjoyed the music provided by Don Oliver 's orchestra. �October, Page 4 THE HINTON "GANG" Many who attended Morningside between the years of 1921 and 1943 h ave been classmates of some of the young people who graduated from the Hinton High School. Very few schools of its size have sent as many students to Morningside as has this 1 9 4 3 '41, Joyce Held, '41, Donald Winter, ex '44, and Edith Harrison, ex '44. The group r egistering in September, 1942, really established a record when sixteen e nrolled for college work. This group included Lamar Jones, Robert Held, Roberta Held, Mary Louise Held, Dorothy Brown, Warren Held, Lois Held, John Helm, Wayne Held, Don Taylor, Harold Taylor, Jack Brehm, Gordon Winter, Thomas Held, Ruth Alice Held, and Darvin Hartman. Many of the young men listed above are in the Armed Forces of their countr y at present. Some of these who have not completed t heir college work will no doubt return when the war is over. Two of these young men, namely, Capt. Ralph Brown of the Army Air Corps, and Corporal Francis Jones of the Marine Corps, have been in the Southwest Pacific Area for more than a year. Recentl y Capt . Brown was decorated with th e Air Medal, and cited for meritor ius achievement while participating in an aerial flight over Talasea, New Britain. Corporal Francis Jones will be remembered as a former president of the student body, and for his work a s an all conference guard in basketball during his senior year. It is interesting to note that all the sons and daughters of Mr. and Mrs. C. L. Brown, and Mr. and Mrs. B. F. Held g raduated from the Hinton High School, and all have attended, or are attending Morningside. Those of the C. L. Brown family are: Marjorie, ex '36, Lillian, '39, Ralph '41, and Katherine, '42. Those of the B. F. H eld family, ten in number, are : Emma, ex '32, Howard, Hazel, Capt. Ralph 0. Brown high school. Records .r eveal that many of these young people made outstanding records in both their academic work and college activities. Margaret Held, of t he class of '22, h eads the long line of Hintonites who chose Morningside as their Alma Mater. She came to college in '04, but did not finish work for her degree until '22. Two younger brothers, Albert, an ex-student of the class of '08 and Walter, ex '16, followed her .

We present herewith a report of progress to date. There are many things which you can do for Morningside, and there are many things which Morningside can do for you. Primarily, the program is one to integrate the alumni more intimately into the life of the college. The appontment of Mrs. Kingsbury as Alumni Secretary was the most important step. The activities of her office have already increased alumni interest. The work of the Living Endowment has enlarged and improved the Alumni News Letter under the new title of THE MORNINGSIDER. Plans have been perfected to permit all a lumni to participate in the election of alumni trustees. This is an exceedingly important step, for it is emminently fitting tha t some share in the management of the institution should be entrusted to those loyal sons and daughters of Alma Mater who owe her so much. During the past year Ernest Raun, Ralph Prichard, and Harold Winter have been elected to the Board of Trustees of the College. Procedures have been set up to make the election of officers of the alumni association a project of the alumni group as a whole. In a ll these plans, the committee has had the continuous and enthusiastic cooperation of the faculty and administration of the college. The Living Endowment is fundamentally a program to promote closer association between the alumni and the college. Only incidentally is it a means of raising money. This program is a "grass-roots" movement. An indigenous movement of this kind has unlimited opportunity for growth and this growth is taking place. Last year, 77 of the alumm and ex-students signed up (subject to the right of withdrawal) in this program. This year the number has risen to 296. Last year cash received was $1,600. This year the amount was $6,484. Fundamentally, the Living Endowment represents a lifelong dedication to a purpose, an ideal, and a task. The whole idea of the Living Endowment depends on two important assumptions. The first of these is that there exists among the alunmi of Morningside a deep sense of loyalty to their Alma Mater, a profound feeling of obligation for what Morningside has done for them and has meant to them, a willingness to do somethmg to acknowledge and implement that loyalty and that feeling of obligation in concrete terms and a profound belief in Christian education as it is exemplified at their Alma Mater together with an acceptance of the type of idealism which is associated with the church-supported college. The second is that in the financing of the college of the future less reliance can be placed on the income from investments of large gifts made by wealthy donors, and more mustbe placed on the ability and willingness of alunmi to participate in the continuous program of financial support. The results of the first year exceeded expectations. The Living Endowment plan is being used in other institutions. Accurate comparisons are not available, but judging from repor ts of the growth of the plan in other schools. it would seem that Morningide alumm have responded better during the first two years than did those of other schools during the same per iod. This, of course, was to be expected. For reasons which it is not necessary to review here, it is probably true that Morningside meant more to us than most colleges mean to their students. Furthermore, Morningside men. and women are peculiarly able to appreciate their obligation, and want to do something about it. And, incidentally, Morningside alumni are economically better able than the average to back up their loyalty and sentiment with some form of financial support. In this program emphasis has been placed on the Living Endowment declarations, and we hope that the majority of the a lumni will see fit to place their support on the permanent basis implied by signing the Living Endowment pledge, for only if that is done can certain objectives of this program be achieved. For example, there is reason to believe that potential donors of fund s for new buildings will be tremendously impressed by the fact that the alumni of Morningside College are squarely behind their Alma Mater even to the extent of contributing substantially to her financial support. During recent years two large groups of alumni have participated annually in the life of Morningside, those who live in Sioux City, and those who are members of Methodist churches which comprise the Northwest Iowa Conference. The suppor t which was derived from these two sources has been an important factor in the financial program of the college. There was need, however, for an organization which would reach alumni who were beyond the confines of Sioux City and Northwest Iowa. This need resulted in the development of an "Eastern Alumni Committee" which prepared plans which eventually evolved into the Morningside Living Endowment. We present for your consideration three tabulations, the first of which was published in the September Morningsider. This gave a complete list of participants in the Morningside Alumni Living Endowment divided according to years of enrollment. We believe that you who were included preferred to see your names listed with those of your college generation. Plans for future growth of the Living Endowment contemplate considerable activity in terms of class groups. Ex-Students were listed as members of the classes in which they normally belonged. The second table presents certain statistical information about the various classes, and gives a basis for comparison between them. Because of the contributions of a considerable number of ex-students it is theoretically possible for a class to have a percentage of participation above 100.

This information is presented in two ways, the first column showing the value of the Living Endowment bond purchased, and the second showing the annual income from an investment of t hat particular size. Another way of expressing it would be to say that the second column shows the amount of the annual contribution, while the first shows the capitalized value of the contribution. The third column shows the number of persons participating on each of the levels indicated. The number of contributions shown in Table III will not correspond with the number of contributors in the other tables, because where husband and wife made a joint contribution, both names are listed under the classes, and both are carried on our Table III Value of Livin g Endowment Bonds Owned by Mornin gsiders, Income Received on them, and Number of Alumni Participa tin g on Each Level in 1942-43. $10,000 or more $500 or more 250-499 5,000- 9,999 200-249 4,000- 4,999 3,000-3,999 150- 199 2,000- 2,999' 100- 149 1,000-1,999 50- 99 900- 999 45- 49 40- 44 800- 899 700- 799 35- 39 1 0 0 0 9 5 0 0 1 0 1 2 1 5 13 2 7 3 �October, Page 6 30- 34 600- 699 500- 599 25- 29 400- 499 20- 24 300- 399 15- 19 200- 299 10- 14 Less than $200 Less than $10 Total Out of Sioux City $59,120 $2,956 Total In Sioux City $68,600 $3,528 1 20 5 4 28 23 97 12 7 7 10 15 15 124 records as contributors. The total for the second column of Table III is the total amount actually received, using the exact amounts as shown on our records. The figure at the bottom ofthe first column represents the capitalized value of the total amount received. Some day this war will end. Fighting will cease whenever our enemies capitulate, but that will not mark the winning of the war in the sense of a victory for the things for which we fight. That will remain to be done. Perhaps the foundation for that greater victory will be laid at a peace conference, but in a very real sense the winning of the kind of world which we want will be the t ask of many years. This victory will be won, not on battlefields, on the seas, or in the air, but in the hearts and minds of thoughtful, idealistic, Christian men and women. Morningside College has for the past half century occupied a prominent place in the forefront of higher education, training leadership for the world of yesterday, the world of today, and the world of tomorrow. The world of tomorrow, and of tomorrow's tomorrow will be desperately in need of trained, disciplined and visioned leadership. Will Morningside be strong and ready to continue its participation in the task? It depends on us. MORNINGSIDE COLLEGE ALU MNI LIVING ENDOWMENT COMMITTE E H arry E. Benz, '22 Athens, Ohio Clarence J .

She says in part, "This surely is the mystical India of myth and fable-plus the centuries of filth and smells that we didn't hear about! Ther e surely is color here-but it all see ms mixed up somehow with the dirt"The Ta j Mahal, which I h ave seen, is simply exquisite- especially by moonlight. It is truly a beautiful dream in marble and is set in lovely gardens. "I am in one of the most beautiful Red Cross clubs in this theatre of the war. You would delight in ·seeing the way the club is decorated. It is a ver y large one story af fair -brick-with grass roofing- like most building s in India. Inside it is beautifully done in sof t g r eens and oranges and tans. Chakras, (Indian boys ) scurry about- being good serv ants- which, according to their idea is finding a g ood corner and having a continuous siesta-squatting with knees drawn up in good Indian fashion. Our cant een is ver y a ctive in the club and ver y popular- with good food. "We are working a f ull r ecreational prog ram- ever ything for the pleasure and enjoyment of the soldier . ·T hey a r e so appreciative and ea ger to h elp in it. I'm surely enjoying it. "The Red Cross bought m e the nicest violin I could find in India. It isn 't too g ood but will make music which the boys seem to enjoy- in fact I'm playing much more than I am pr acticing . I'm g reatly handicapped by not having enough music though. W e have m any fine r ecords an d ever y other day h ave r egular hour s of g ood music (with prog r am notes) over the public a ddress syst em. Another feature is a weekly musical program--which is ver y popula r. Ther e is much t alent h er e. Just last night the first guitarist in Xavier Cugats orchestra played for three hours in t h e club lounge. There is one especially fine pianis t her e- t rained at Oberlin--and loads of jazz player s ! "My living quarters are in a hot el. My r ooms open right out into a colorful cou rtyard wh ich has in it p alm an d cocoanut t rees, monkeys, swimming pool, anyos ( two wheeled horse ca rts ) tinkling through the driveway, Indian women cut ting grass by h and, etc."My room s have very high ceiling s and, of cou r se, a r e well equipped with ceiling fan s, since 120° her e is n ot consider ed t o be the really hottest weather! Little house lizards run up and down the walls keeping them cleared of some of the millions of bugs and insects there are in India! There surely are innumerable things you can catch in India -not the least of which is a most uncomfortable heat rash. In fact, I spent the first week h ere in the hospital, but I'm very fit now. "The natives all go barefoot, of course and live so closely to the earth. It's colorful though and even though there is so much disease and poverty-they seem better able to cope with this kind of a life- for this surely is not a white man's country ! "There are so few American gir ls here - so of course we'r e ver y popular! Since dancing is one of the main pleasures here I'm about danced out most of the time! It's all great fun though and our army here needs it all." To Whom It May Concern The Alumni Office is anxious to have the Morningsider r each every a lumnus and exstudent of the College.

Falcon out of North Africa, writes that the best U.S.O. entertainment his unit has seen in North Africa was been under the direction of Mary Dolliver, '20, American Red Cross U.S.O. director. The parents of Sergeant Devon (Gus) Hahn, '40, a German prisoner of war, have received word from him that he has been issued new clothes by the Red Cross, and is in perfect health.

Dennery, in Childress, Texas, reports that she and Helen Weaver '42 are able to get together every few weeks and that Harriet Swanson Kennedy ex '43 spent a week as their guest while there to attend Gene's graduation at Mission, Texas. Nothing seems to get Morningside down; neither drought, nor depression, nor even war have succeeded in doing so! Perhaps, this is because resourceful men are at the helm and sturdy, independent, and enthusiastic students made up the crew! Nowadays, when so many of the smaller non-state supported colleges are having to fold up, or at least, seriously to curtail their activities and teaching schedules, curricula, etc, it is refreshing to know that one's Alma Mater has not only adequately adjusted herself to the times, but is actually making progress in spite of the war, by taking a large group of Air Corps Cadets under her wing. Former Maroons Write Fight South Pacific Disease In a letter to Dr. Roadman, Steve Kerzie, '42, student at Miami Beach, Florida, and former Maroon star athlete, writes: "Sur,day noon I turned on the radio and to my surprise heard a program from the chapel of Morningside College. It sure made me think of the wonderful days at Morningside and also the day I'll be able to come back. The program was very good, and it was swell to hear you. . "I have a week to go before graduation. I met Don Widler, '42, here. He is a drill sergeant and a darn good one. Hope Morningside has a basketball team this year." Within a short time Ensign Wilfred D. Crabb, '38, will be in the south Pacific battle areas fighting a greater menace to American soldiers than the Japanese. He has been assigned to malaria and epidemic control work for the Navy, the exact nature of his duties being a military secret. There will be little personal glory in his work as it is the unsung heroes who carry on the fight against one of the greatest dangers our soldiers have to face. · Ensign Crabb received his A. · M. from Morningside and Ph. D. from the U. of Iowa. Mrs. Crabb, (Leona Keckler, ex '40) and their son, Winston Douglas, will live with Mrs. Crabb's mother here in Morningside. In an appreciative letter to Prof. Van Horne, Ensign Bernie Feikema, '42, writes from somewhere in South America: "Since I left Morningside last fall, I've come in contact with many boys. I've competed with boys from many different schools--Notre Dame, Illinois, Michigan, Chicago, etc.-and I've always felt equal to any of them. I honestly believe that I received as good or better an education, both academically and physically, at Morningside College than I could have gotten at any other college or university in the mid-west. I certainly appreciate the opportunity of knowing and working with men like yourself, "Saundy", Dr. Roadman, Dr. Graber, etc. You men have done an awfully lot for many students. As time goes on, we realize this more and more." Vera Schuetz Walters, '33, Writes from California DEATHS Charles E. Harding, '05, died on September 17, 1943, at Cando, North Dakota. Mr. Harding was editor of "The Sun" at Church's Ferry from 1913 until last year, when he went to Cando as co-publisher and business manager of the "Record-Herald". Mrs. Harding, (Sadie VanHorne, ex '04) is a sister to Dr. R. N. VanHorne.

THE MORNINGSIDER Vol. 2 No. 2 OCTOBER, 1943 United Anniversary Campaign Plans Made A campaign by the Northwest Iowa Conference of the Methodist Church to raise $350,000 for Morningside College and the Retired Mmisters' Pension Fund got under way last week with t he naming of a Board of Directors and selection of the title and slogan for t he movement. The United Anniversary Campaign will secure $250,000 for Morningside College as a Fiftieth Birthday gift and give $100,000 to the permanent funds of the Pension Fund of Northwest Iowa Methodist Ministers. The $250,000 to be raised will be used for retirement of the indebtedness of $126,461, $23,539 for repairs and improvements and $100,000 toward a new Science Hall. Organized t hrough the existing agencies of the church under the guidance of Bishop J . Ralph Magee and the four District Superintendents, the campaign will operate through the local churches with goals set up in each church on the basis of active membership. L. D. Snyder, Executive Director of the movement, is a prominent Methodist layman who has had experience in public work and who assumes leadership with the full cooperation of the Northwest Iowa Conference. Assisting Mr. Snyder will be V. V. Schuldt, Secretary, who has been Director of Admissions of Morningside College, and W. L. Breaw, of Humboldt, Treasurer. Other alumni serving on the Board of Directors are Parnell H. Mahoney, President of the Alumni Association, F. Earl Burgess, James I. Dolliver, John A. Farnham, Clif-· ford D. Jory, E rnest M. Raun, Lloyd H. Scheerer, Geor ge E . Scheider and Ronald Wilson. In announcing the Campaign, President Roadman pointed out to the Conference that the total amount of the drive is equal to less than the cost of one modern bomber and reminded his hearers that "we cannot have peace unless the people of America are willing to give more than one-tenth the amount they are now giving for the horrible ravages of war in the interests of peace", in the words of Lt. Colonel Horace F. Wulf '18, who is now in Fort Benning, Georgia. Following up this suggestion, Dean W. J . Scarborough proposed the slogan, "After the Bomber the Builder", which was adopted for the motto of the drive. ATTENTION ! All Morningsiders attending the Iowa State Teachers' Association in Des Moines, Nov. 4, 5 and 6 are invited to the Morningside dinner and reunion which will be h eld Friday evening at 5:30 at the ,Terrace Cafe. Please make reservations by Friday noon either with Dr. J. E. Kirkpatrick, Ft. Des Moines hotel or with Florence M. Kingsbury, Alumni Sec'y, at the Shrine Auditorium, or call the Terrace Cafe. Former Faculty Notes Faith Foster Woodford To come back to your Alma Mater to teach, to grow into maturity with old friends of youth still about one to help enjoy the new and to remember the good clays of old, t o live almost continuously in the open free landscape of the Morningside College environment, this has been Miss Faith Foster Woodford's pleasurable experience. True, she has lived in Europe during periods of study; sh e has travelled far and wide in her own country, but each journey out has ended in the privilege of returning to her old home under the blue Iowa sky. And Miss W.o odford would know how to appreciate beauty and color though used to it, to enjoy with never diminishing zest the unconscious translation of these bright influences into her contact with students. Starting with the piano as her major channel of musical expression, she has broadened into an ever increasing knowledge of the history of music. This latter experience of itself equips for the bringing to the student who is not specializing in music, a practical appreciation of music. And Miss Woodford can tell college students what's what in English; she will do it politely, tactfully, but firmly. Another interest of Miss Woodford's is the organ. At present she is Dean of the Sioux City Chapter of the American Guild of Organist s. With never diminishing patience she has helped to install and to carry on the local Phi Zeta Chapter of the National Musical Sorority, Mu Phi Epsilon, building in the young women with whom she has worked closely, a fine sense of social poise and responsibility for task s undertaken. In Ensign John Felton, who resigned as speech instructor to enter the navy last spring, has left for duty in the South Pacific, according to word received from Mrs. Felton. She and their two children are residing at 250 W. Lorain, Oberlin, Ohio. Lt. Leo Kucinski, former violin instructor in the Conservatory and conductor of the Monahan Post Band, has been assigned to service in the South Pacific. In a recent visit to his home in Sioux City, Lt. Kucinski gave a very enthusiastic report of his musical experience in the army. Discussing the opportumties the army offers musicians, Lt Kucinski said, "Soldiers can play in the fmest bands in the country. There are many outstanding musicians in the army, because we have a cross section of America. Concert artists have an opportunity to perform at any function. I have met many artists in the army who appeared with our orchestra here (Sioux City) and are continuing their work in the army. The army has the finest of swing bands, but it does not neglect classical music appreciation." Mrs. Richard Clayton has succeeded Miss Edwarda Metz as instructor in piano in the Morningside conservatory. Miss Metz has accepted a position in the conservatory of Mary Baldwin College in Staunton, W. Va. Mrs. Clayton graduated with honors from the Eastman School of Music where she held a teaching fellowship. She has also studied under Frank Sheridan at Juilliard. She is a member of Mu Phi Espsilon music fraternity and has taught in the College of Ozarks, West Liberty State Teachers' College and in Wheeling, W. Va. Lois Simons, former women's physical education instructor at Morningside, was commissioned an E nsign the last of September. She is stationed a t Hunter College, in the Wave Reserve. Everett Timm, in charge of the A.A.F. band at Galveston, Texas, has ben promoted to the rank of Corporal. Concert Course Opens The concert by the Sioux City Symphony orchestra, conducted by Henri Pensis, of the Morningside College Conservatory, and with I saac Stern, violinist, as the distinguished guest soloist, formally opened the concert series of the 1943-44 season on Monday evening, October 15. ·T he brilliant pe.rformance of the orchestra and of Mr. Stern evoked an enthusiastic ovation from the audience. short, Miss Woodford now enjoys living in her old home, enjoys having become a fellow worker with the faculty that taught her, and it m ay be said with certainty, that they enjoy her.

Graber and Dean Alva Tolf The above picture was taken as Dr. Earl A. Roadman bestowed the honorary degree of Docto.r of Laws upon Fred G. Clark, general chairman of the Economic Foundation and Moderator of the "Wake Up America" broadcast in Grace Methodist Church. As a climax to the colorful festivities of the wartime Homecoming program, Morningside students and faculty were hosts to the "Wake Up America" broadcast over the Blue Network at 12:00 o'clock, Sunday, in Grace Methodist Church. The audience filled the church to capacity. The question, "Can the Liberal Arts College be Revitalized?", was discussed by Dr. Davidson, president of Knox College, Dr. Bevis, president of Ohio State University, and our own Dr. Roadman. Fred G. Clark, on whom an honorary Doctor of Laws degree was conferred by Morningside College at the church service preceding the program, is general chairman of the American Economic Foundation, and acted as moderator of the broadcast. The participants drew on their combined experience and training as they told of the important position which the liberal arts college has played in the development of our people, and of the place which it must fill in the future. The three educator s emphasized the part that the colleges are playing in our all-out war effort, as they told of the various war service groups which are utilizing the nation's classrooms to sharpen our fighting men for the present conflict. Dr. Clark expressed his delight over the fine attitude of the audience and the fact that he considered this to be one of the best "Wake Up America" programs ever sent over the air. The program was heard by Morningsiders in all parts of the United States, and many have expressed their pleasure over hearing such a wonderful program originating on the campus of their Alma Mater. Especially were they thrilled to hear Dr. Roadman's voice, his words ringing out clear-cut and decisive over the air, and making them feel as if they had really been participating in Homecoming. The broadcast gave Sioux City and Morningside College wide publicity throughout the nation and many people who wer e unaware that Morningside existed are now quite conscious that there is an up and coming liberal arts college in Sioux City. The dinner to honor the guests of the "Wake U p America" broadcast was held at the Mayfair Hotel at 2 o'clock. A group of 250 distinguished Sioux Cityans and members of the surrounding territory were guests of the college at a beautifully appointed dinner. The program, presided over by Dr. Roadman, included an invocation by George W. Dunn, '21, music by Elizabeth Newton MacCollin '39, and Greetings to "Wake U p America" by Dean M. E. Graber, Mr. David W. Stewart, and Mr. E. T. Flaherty, in behalf of the faculty, the Board of Trustees, and KSCJ radio station respectively. Dr. Fred G. Clark delivered a most interesting and informative address on "Radio Education". classes, under the direction of Miss Liba, physical education instructor, presented a calisthenics drill. Dressed in maroon and white gym suits, they made a pretty picture as they marched and executed their formations in perfect rhythm and timing . Two teams of cadets, one supported by the upper classmen and the other by the freshmen, provided excitement in a fast game of touch football. Highlighting the afternoon's prog ram were the precision drill and the r etreat ceremony presented by the cadets. A flight of 48 picked men executed difficult drill formations a lmost faultlessly under the command of Student Major McTiernan. For fift een minutes the flight entertained and amazed the spectators with every maneuver in the books. Retreat, always a striking ceremony, was particularly inspiring a s the entire detachment of cadet s paraded before the grandst and of students and friends to the martial music provided by the Post band. Reviewing the troops were the command- ing officer, Captain Kitzmiller, First Lt. Caffee, post a dujtant, and Lts. Cohen and Dilks, tactical officers. Captain Kitzmiller had as g uests beside him in the reviewing stand Dr. Earl Roadman and Mr. D. W. Stewart, President of the Board of Trustees. As a fitting close to the day's festivities, the annual Homecoming Dance was h eld in the gym which had been appropriately decorated for the occasion. Alumni, faculty, students, and cadets enjoyed the music provided by Don Oliver 's orchestra. October, Page 4 THE HINTON "GANG" Many who attended Morningside between the years of 1921 and 1943 h ave been classmates of some of the young people who graduated from the Hinton High School. Very few schools of its size have sent as many students to Morningside as has this 1 9 4 3 '41, Joyce Held, '41, Donald Winter, ex '44, and Edith Harrison, ex '44. The group r egistering in September, 1942, really established a record when sixteen e nrolled for college work. This group included Lamar Jones, Robert Held, Roberta Held, Mary Louise Held, Dorothy Brown, Warren Held, Lois Held, John Helm, Wayne Held, Don Taylor, Harold Taylor, Jack Brehm, Gordon Winter, Thomas Held, Ruth Alice Held, and Darvin Hartman. Many of the young men listed above are in the Armed Forces of their countr y at present. Some of these who have not completed t heir college work will no doubt return when the war is over. Two of these young men, namely, Capt. Ralph Brown of the Army Air Corps, and Corporal Francis Jones of the Marine Corps, have been in the Southwest Pacific Area for more than a year. Recentl y Capt . Brown was decorated with th e Air Medal, and cited for meritor ius achievement while participating in an aerial flight over Talasea, New Britain. Corporal Francis Jones will be remembered as a former president of the student body, and for his work a s an all conference guard in basketball during his senior year. It is interesting to note that all the sons and daughters of Mr. and Mrs. C. L. Brown, and Mr. and Mrs. B. F. Held g raduated from the Hinton High School, and all have attended, or are attending Morningside. Those of the C. L. Brown family are: Marjorie, ex '36, Lillian, '39, Ralph '41, and Katherine, '42. Those of the B. F. H eld family, ten in number, are : Emma, ex '32, Howard, Hazel, Capt. Ralph 0. Brown high school. Records .r eveal that many of these young people made outstanding records in both their academic work and college activities. Margaret Held, of t he class of '22, h eads the long line of Hintonites who chose Morningside as their Alma Mater. She came to college in '04, but did not finish work for her degree until '22. Two younger brothers, Albert, an ex-student of the class of '08 and Walter, ex '16, followed her .

We present herewith a report of progress to date. There are many things which you can do for Morningside, and there are many things which Morningside can do for you. Primarily, the program is one to integrate the alumni more intimately into the life of the college. The appontment of Mrs. Kingsbury as Alumni Secretary was the most important step. The activities of her office have already increased alumni interest. The work of the Living Endowment has enlarged and improved the Alumni News Letter under the new title of THE MORNINGSIDER. Plans have been perfected to permit all a lumni to participate in the election of alumni trustees. This is an exceedingly important step, for it is emminently fitting tha t some share in the management of the institution should be entrusted to those loyal sons and daughters of Alma Mater who owe her so much. During the past year Ernest Raun, Ralph Prichard, and Harold Winter have been elected to the Board of Trustees of the College. Procedures have been set up to make the election of officers of the alumni association a project of the alumni group as a whole. In a ll these plans, the committee has had the continuous and enthusiastic cooperation of the faculty and administration of the college. The Living Endowment is fundamentally a program to promote closer association between the alumni and the college. Only incidentally is it a means of raising money. This program is a "grass-roots" movement. An indigenous movement of this kind has unlimited opportunity for growth and this growth is taking place. Last year, 77 of the alumm and ex-students signed up (subject to the right of withdrawal) in this program. This year the number has risen to 296. Last year cash received was $1,600. This year the amount was $6,484. Fundamentally, the Living Endowment represents a lifelong dedication to a purpose, an ideal, and a task. The whole idea of the Living Endowment depends on two important assumptions. The first of these is that there exists among the alunmi of Morningside a deep sense of loyalty to their Alma Mater, a profound feeling of obligation for what Morningside has done for them and has meant to them, a willingness to do somethmg to acknowledge and implement that loyalty and that feeling of obligation in concrete terms and a profound belief in Christian education as it is exemplified at their Alma Mater together with an acceptance of the type of idealism which is associated with the church-supported college. The second is that in the financing of the college of the future less reliance can be placed on the income from investments of large gifts made by wealthy donors, and more mustbe placed on the ability and willingness of alunmi to participate in the continuous program of financial support. The results of the first year exceeded expectations. The Living Endowment plan is being used in other institutions. Accurate comparisons are not available, but judging from repor ts of the growth of the plan in other schools. it would seem that Morningide alumm have responded better during the first two years than did those of other schools during the same per iod. This, of course, was to be expected. For reasons which it is not necessary to review here, it is probably true that Morningside meant more to us than most colleges mean to their students. Furthermore, Morningside men. and women are peculiarly able to appreciate their obligation, and want to do something about it. And, incidentally, Morningside alumni are economically better able than the average to back up their loyalty and sentiment with some form of financial support. In this program emphasis has been placed on the Living Endowment declarations, and we hope that the majority of the a lumni will see fit to place their support on the permanent basis implied by signing the Living Endowment pledge, for only if that is done can certain objectives of this program be achieved. For example, there is reason to believe that potential donors of fund s for new buildings will be tremendously impressed by the fact that the alumni of Morningside College are squarely behind their Alma Mater even to the extent of contributing substantially to her financial support. During recent years two large groups of alumni have participated annually in the life of Morningside, those who live in Sioux City, and those who are members of Methodist churches which comprise the Northwest Iowa Conference. The suppor t which was derived from these two sources has been an important factor in the financial program of the college. There was need, however, for an organization which would reach alumni who were beyond the confines of Sioux City and Northwest Iowa. This need resulted in the development of an "Eastern Alumni Committee" which prepared plans which eventually evolved into the Morningside Living Endowment. We present for your consideration three tabulations, the first of which was published in the September Morningsider. This gave a complete list of participants in the Morningside Alumni Living Endowment divided according to years of enrollment. We believe that you who were included preferred to see your names listed with those of your college generation. Plans for future growth of the Living Endowment contemplate considerable activity in terms of class groups. Ex-Students were listed as members of the classes in which they normally belonged. The second table presents certain statistical information about the various classes, and gives a basis for comparison between them. Because of the contributions of a considerable number of ex-students it is theoretically possible for a class to have a percentage of participation above 100.

This information is presented in two ways, the first column showing the value of the Living Endowment bond purchased, and the second showing the annual income from an investment of t hat particular size. Another way of expressing it would be to say that the second column shows the amount of the annual contribution, while the first shows the capitalized value of the contribution. The third column shows the number of persons participating on each of the levels indicated. The number of contributions shown in Table III will not correspond with the number of contributors in the other tables, because where husband and wife made a joint contribution, both names are listed under the classes, and both are carried on our Table III Value of Livin g Endowment Bonds Owned by Mornin gsiders, Income Received on them, and Number of Alumni Participa tin g on Each Level in 1942-43. $10,000 or more $500 or more 250-499 5,000- 9,999 200-249 4,000- 4,999 3,000-3,999 150- 199 2,000- 2,999' 100- 149 1,000-1,999 50- 99 900- 999 45- 49 40- 44 800- 899 700- 799 35- 39 1 0 0 0 9 5 0 0 1 0 1 2 1 5 13 2 7 3 October, Page 6 30- 34 600- 699 500- 599 25- 29 400- 499 20- 24 300- 399 15- 19 200- 299 10- 14 Less than $200 Less than $10 Total Out of Sioux City $59,120 $2,956 Total In Sioux City $68,600 $3,528 1 20 5 4 28 23 97 12 7 7 10 15 15 124 records as contributors. The total for the second column of Table III is the total amount actually received, using the exact amounts as shown on our records. The figure at the bottom ofthe first column represents the capitalized value of the total amount received. Some day this war will end. Fighting will cease whenever our enemies capitulate, but that will not mark the winning of the war in the sense of a victory for the things for which we fight. That will remain to be done. Perhaps the foundation for that greater victory will be laid at a peace conference, but in a very real sense the winning of the kind of world which we want will be the t ask of many years. This victory will be won, not on battlefields, on the seas, or in the air, but in the hearts and minds of thoughtful, idealistic, Christian men and women. Morningside College has for the past half century occupied a prominent place in the forefront of higher education, training leadership for the world of yesterday, the world of today, and the world of tomorrow. The world of tomorrow, and of tomorrow's tomorrow will be desperately in need of trained, disciplined and visioned leadership. Will Morningside be strong and ready to continue its participation in the task? It depends on us. MORNINGSIDE COLLEGE ALU MNI LIVING ENDOWMENT COMMITTE E H arry E. Benz, '22 Athens, Ohio Clarence J .

She says in part, "This surely is the mystical India of myth and fable-plus the centuries of filth and smells that we didn't hear about! Ther e surely is color here-but it all see ms mixed up somehow with the dirt"The Ta j Mahal, which I h ave seen, is simply exquisite- especially by moonlight. It is truly a beautiful dream in marble and is set in lovely gardens. "I am in one of the most beautiful Red Cross clubs in this theatre of the war. You would delight in ·seeing the way the club is decorated. It is a ver y large one story af fair -brick-with grass roofing- like most building s in India. Inside it is beautifully done in sof t g r eens and oranges and tans. Chakras, (Indian boys ) scurry about- being good serv ants- which, according to their idea is finding a g ood corner and having a continuous siesta-squatting with knees drawn up in good Indian fashion. Our cant een is ver y a ctive in the club and ver y popular- with good food. "We are working a f ull r ecreational prog ram- ever ything for the pleasure and enjoyment of the soldier . ·T hey a r e so appreciative and ea ger to h elp in it. I'm surely enjoying it. "The Red Cross bought m e the nicest violin I could find in India. It isn 't too g ood but will make music which the boys seem to enjoy- in fact I'm playing much more than I am pr acticing . I'm g reatly handicapped by not having enough music though. W e have m any fine r ecords an d ever y other day h ave r egular hour s of g ood music (with prog r am notes) over the public a ddress syst em. Another feature is a weekly musical program--which is ver y popula r. Ther e is much t alent h er e. Just last night the first guitarist in Xavier Cugats orchestra played for three hours in t h e club lounge. There is one especially fine pianis t her e- t rained at Oberlin--and loads of jazz player s ! "My living quarters are in a hot el. My r ooms open right out into a colorful cou rtyard wh ich has in it p alm an d cocoanut t rees, monkeys, swimming pool, anyos ( two wheeled horse ca rts ) tinkling through the driveway, Indian women cut ting grass by h and, etc."My room s have very high ceiling s and, of cou r se, a r e well equipped with ceiling fan s, since 120° her e is n ot consider ed t o be the really hottest weather! Little house lizards run up and down the walls keeping them cleared of some of the millions of bugs and insects there are in India! There surely are innumerable things you can catch in India -not the least of which is a most uncomfortable heat rash. In fact, I spent the first week h ere in the hospital, but I'm very fit now. "The natives all go barefoot, of course and live so closely to the earth. It's colorful though and even though there is so much disease and poverty-they seem better able to cope with this kind of a life- for this surely is not a white man's country ! "There are so few American gir ls here - so of course we'r e ver y popular! Since dancing is one of the main pleasures here I'm about danced out most of the time! It's all great fun though and our army here needs it all." To Whom It May Concern The Alumni Office is anxious to have the Morningsider r each every a lumnus and exstudent of the College.

C. After a short furlough, Ted will be stationed at Camp Haan, Calif. Ensign Eugene Emme, '41, was among the honor graduates recently at the naval college for primary flight instructors at New Orleans. Formerly a civilian flight instructor, he will now train flight students at the naval air station at Dallas, Texas. Lt. Don Leopold, ex '42, flight commander at the Waco army air field, Texas, has been promoted to a captain's rank. Capt. Leopold and Helen (Anderson) Leopold reside at 2715 1/2 Columbus, Waco, Texas. Joe DeMaine, ex '42, serving with a Signal Corps unit attached to the Sixth Air Force in the Panama Canal Zone, is now technician, fifth grade, according to an announcement by Headquarters of an outlying Sixth Air Force Base. Gene Kennedy, '42, received his commission as second lieutenant in the Army Air Corps at Mission, Texas, early in October. After a brief visit with relatives and friends in Sioux City, Gene joined Mrs. Kennedy (Harriet Swanson) ex '43, in Chicago. From there Gene expected to be sent to Florida to join an overseas combat unit. Ensign Lewis Mahood, '41, aboard the U . S. S. Falcon out of North Africa, writes that the best U.S.O. entertainment his unit has seen in North Africa was been under the direction of Mary Dolliver, '20, American Red Cross U.S.O. director. The parents of Sergeant Devon (Gus) Hahn, '40, a German prisoner of war, have received word from him that he has been issued new clothes by the Red Cross, and is in perfect health. Golda Kane Moser, '22, was commissioned an ensign in the Waves at Mount Holyoke on June 1, 1943, and has been stationed at the Naval Operating Base at San Diego, Cal., since that time. Golda was for several years a teacher of Home Economics in the senior high schools at Los Angeles after taking graduate work at Ames, U. of Southern California, Santa Barbara State Teachers, and Columbia University. Sgt. Delos G. Hartwig, ex '42, a radio operator in the air forces at Hickam Field for the past ten months was injured in the crash of an army bomber in the vicinity of Pearl Harbor. The extent of his injuries is not known other than he suffered a concus- a 1943 sion and a few cuts. He wears a special cast. Gary C. Gall, ex '45, has been appointed a cadet company commander at the navy preflight school at Del Monte, Calif. · Cadet Dan Mills, ex '45, has completed his preflight school training at Del Monte, Cal., and now is taking his primary training at Hutchinson, Kansas. Navy V-12 students home from Ames this week on a five-day vacation between semesters include Paul Peterson, ex '47, Bob Ehorn, ex '47, Gilbert Haskins, ex '46, Bill Bottolfson, ex '46, Kenny Holmes, ex '46, John Wiedenfeld, ex '46, Bob Andrews, ex '46, Warren Kingsbury, ex '45, Vernon Kaspar, ex '46, and John Thompson, ex '46. Eugene Stiles, ex '46 is home between semesters from Maryville, Mo. Ensign Frances Jean Fowler '40, in a note telling of her marriage to A / C James L. Dennery, in Childress, Texas, reports that she and Helen Weaver '42 are able to get together every few weeks and that Harriet Swanson Kennedy ex '43 spent a week as their guest while there to attend Gene's graduation at Mission, Texas. Nothing seems to get Morningside down; neither drought, nor depression, nor even war have succeeded in doing so! Perhaps, this is because resourceful men are at the helm and sturdy, independent, and enthusiastic students made up the crew! Nowadays, when so many of the smaller non-state supported colleges are having to fold up, or at least, seriously to curtail their activities and teaching schedules, curricula, etc, it is refreshing to know that one's Alma Mater has not only adequately adjusted herself to the times, but is actually making progress in spite of the war, by taking a large group of Air Corps Cadets under her wing. Former Maroons Write Fight South Pacific Disease In a letter to Dr. Roadman, Steve Kerzie, '42, student at Miami Beach, Florida, and former Maroon star athlete, writes: "Sur,day noon I turned on the radio and to my surprise heard a program from the chapel of Morningside College. It sure made me think of the wonderful days at Morningside and also the day I'll be able to come back. The program was very good, and it was swell to hear you. . "I have a week to go before graduation. I met Don Widler, '42, here. He is a drill sergeant and a darn good one. Hope Morningside has a basketball team this year." Within a short time Ensign Wilfred D. Crabb, '38, will be in the south Pacific battle areas fighting a greater menace to American soldiers than the Japanese. He has been assigned to malaria and epidemic control work for the Navy, the exact nature of his duties being a military secret. There will be little personal glory in his work as it is the unsung heroes who carry on the fight against one of the greatest dangers our soldiers have to face. · Ensign Crabb received his A. · M. from Morningside and Ph. D. from the U. of Iowa. Mrs. Crabb, (Leona Keckler, ex '40) and their son, Winston Douglas, will live with Mrs. Crabb's mother here in Morningside. In an appreciative letter to Prof. Van Horne, Ensign Bernie Feikema, '42, writes from somewhere in South America: "Since I left Morningside last fall, I've come in contact with many boys. I've competed with boys from many different schools--Notre Dame, Illinois, Michigan, Chicago, etc.-and I've always felt equal to any of them. I honestly believe that I received as good or better an education, both academically and physically, at Morningside College than I could have gotten at any other college or university in the mid-west. I certainly appreciate the opportunity of knowing and working with men like yourself, "Saundy", Dr. Roadman, Dr. Graber, etc. You men have done an awfully lot for many students. As time goes on, we realize this more and more." Vera Schuetz Walters, '33, Writes from California DEATHS Charles E. Harding, '05, died on September 17, 1943, at Cando, North Dakota. Mr. Harding was editor of "The Sun" at Church's Ferry from 1913 until last year, when he went to Cando as co-publisher and business manager of the "Record-Herald". Mrs. Harding, (Sadie VanHorne, ex '04) is a sister to Dr. R. N. VanHorne.

The Morningsider Volume 02, Number 02 was published for the month of October in 1943. The condition of this issue is fair, with only minor concerns. The biggest of these is the crease in the middle of the page, which suggests that the edition had been folded in half and then kept that way for a while. Because of this crease, there are rips and tears along it and where the line meets the binding. there is slight discoloration of the paper, but not too much to do any harm. Other than that, the edition is fine, leaving it in good condition. Table Of Contents A list of subunits of the resource.

Morningside is not the only college faced with t his situation. The North Central Conference has been disbanded for the duration with the result that there will be no intercollegiate basketball. The call to service in the armed forces has depleted the manpower. There a r e not enough m en left in any of these schools who have the time, inter est, and ability to play basketball in competition with other colleges. The few boys in school who do have an interest in the sport may enter the recreationa l league but will not enjoy the full privileges of a r egular college team because the n umber of home games will be limited. The men permanently stationed at the 81st C. T. D. may organize into a recreation al league team. The aviation students have very little time for basketball, but they may or ganize to play a few games. The Alumni Gym, however, is in constant use with gir ls taking it over four hours a day for intra-mural sports. The cadets u se the gym five hours a day, which includes their physical training periods. The regular boys' physical education class meets at 7:30 every morning. Legendary Landmark Being Razed Barlow Hall soon will be no more and it is with a twinge of regret as of parting with an old friend that many of the older alumni and students learn that wreckers are demolishing this stately English manor house. As the dream of an Englishman of establishing a country home in the heart of an Iowa prairie, the mansion has stood in lonely grandeur overlooking highway 141 for more than sixt y years. The scene of man y festive parties and gay times, its spacious rooms and attic bring back happ y m emories. The hayrack rides to and from Barlow Hall as classes and societies held Hallowe'en parties and frolics in the attic, with more formal rush parties and dinners in the gracious living quarters with their romantic fireplaces and stained-glass windows are very special memories of many former students at Morningside. "Big Chief Heap Happy" President and Mrs. Roadman are rejoicing over the news of the arrival of a grandson, Charles Harvey, Jr., who was born Nov. 27th, in San Antonio, Texas, to Major and Mrs. Charles H. Roadman. Although this is the Roadman's sixth grandchild, Charles Harvey, Jr., is the first grandson. No. 3 Rehabilitation wo.rk to convert the old World War I barracks building on the campus, popularly known as "the barn", into a combined girls' dining hall and student union "will beg in as soon as possible", announced David Stewart, president of the college board of trust ees, after their semiannual meeting on November 3. Since the a r my took over the women's residence hall, the coeds have had the u se of the dormitor y dining room, but t his arrangement has been concluded. Pending completion of the dining room in "the barn", the college has arranged with restaurants to pr ovide for the ninety girls. Plans embody equipping and furnishing a women's dining room on the fir st floo r , with an immediate capacity for ninety, and a student center on the second floor. Much of the work will be done by college students, the women supervising the interior furnishing and decorating. Equipment and furnishings for the dining room and center will be largely from supplies at the college. Cadets Interested in Morningside History Laura C. Fischer With · anticipation and eagerness, Miss Fischer began to teach, when a mere girl. She must always have had a great desire to teach, for only a passion for her profession could have made successful those first eight years when she carried an almost unbelievably heavy load of Latin, Greek, and German at St. Paul's College, and also supervised the girl's dormitory or rather "Ladices Hall" as it was then called. Her love of learning and her desire to be of service to young people were then and are now predominant characteristics. Her church and her school-these have been her life. The Trustees of Charles City College saw all of this and gave her the opportunity to come to Charles City College where she continued to study and to teach young women, not only Latin, Greek, or German, but much about the business of living. Finally, Charles City College and Morningside College merged. Many of the Charles City teachers came to Morningside, among them Laura Fisch er, and it is here that the alumni and the faculty of this college have come to know h er, and to appreciate and love her, a s a teacher and a s a co-worker. Miss Fischer is a woman of a very sensitive nature, sensitive to all that is beautiful about her, to the birds that she spies in the spring in "North Ravine", and to the personalities in the classroom, each one of whom she studies and knows, and in whom she sees possibilities. She comments in her office as she grades papers, "Well, now, he does very well. I think he can make it." And she sees to it that he do es, and that he reaches the high standard which she always holds. Miss Fischer's friends give her miniatures The boys of the 81st College . Training Detachment who come to us from all over the country as aviation students have a keen interest in the history of Morningsjde. The War College instructors are often stopped in the middle of a recitation to answer the query of some student about Morningside's past and all seem eager to learn more about this college which they enjoy so much during their brief stay. Especially has the trophy case in the main hall, containing the proof of a glorious past in the field of sport, attracted their attention. The Drake Relay trophies, Dakota Relay trophies along with those of indoor meets and many others, all come in for their share of admiration. From Prof. Van Horne, they learn of the spirit and prowess of former football teams -the days when Morningside came close to beating Notre Dame in two games and South Dakota was a rival often humbled by the valiant Maroons. Perhaps, after the war, some of these boys will return to Morningside to fini sh the work which they have started here and become a part of Morningside's history. of animals of which she is very proud, especially of dogs and cats ("pussies" to her). Many of the alumni remember her collection of these little things, and her room filled with these and man y other artistic things which express Miss Fischer herself. At home she's usually at her desk planning her work, often going beyond her strength that she may do it well. The many may not know her, for she is of a r etiring disposition. Morningsiders who have had the privilege of being in her classes and of knowing her as a friend, have met a great spirit.

Haakinson, '26, recently promoted to Major, is serving as an assistant signal officer with Major General James H. Doolittle's air force in the European area. Edwin began his career as a newspaper man during his student days at Morningside when he worked nights as a reporter and sports writer for the Sioux City Tribune, until he was promoted to city editor and acting managing editor. Later he joined the Washington bureau of the Associated Press and continued his work as a reporter, until he entered active service in the army following Pearl Harbor. As an Associated Press reporter he worked under Edgar Hoover fo.r a year, and experiences he had in covering his activities proved most interesting. Likewise as special reporter for Henry Wallace, Ed received valuable training and became an ardent admirer of the Iowa agriculturist. However, his most enojyable work was the three years he spent as the Associated Press reporter in the senate, where there was never a dull moment. During all this time Edwin travelled extensively on diplomatic missions and investigations, some of these ventures taking him to foreign shores. After entering active service in the Air Corps as a 2nd Lt. and t aking training at Miami Beach, Fla., and Ft. Monmouth, N. J., he received the commission of Captain and returned to ser vice in Washington. Upon applying for overseas duty he was ordered to .r eport to Major General Doolittle in April, 1943, and although his former commander in Washington has urgently requested his return, Major Haakinson has remained at his post overseas. At Morningside Ed excelled in the many activities in which he participated, especially in the field of oratory, debate, and journalism.

A/ S Ray Simak, staff photographer of the 81st C. T. D., strapped himself in the plane and leaned out the open door of the cabin with his trusty camera to get this excellent view of the college and surrounding area. While the picture was being taken, the plane hit an air pocket and Instructor Davidson, who was doing the flying, ripped his head through the canvass top of the plane, according to Simak. Easily identified in the picture are the Conservatory of Music, the Alumni Gynasium and the Administration Building. Barely discernible are the Cadets taking P. T. on the field. This picture is printed through the courtesy of Lt. Cohen, in charge of ''The Dodo," the snappy publication of the 81st C. T. D. Shubert Alley CAMPUS BRIEFS The Collegiate Players, under the direction of Mrs. Orville Kraemer, head of the dramatics department, with an all-coed cast of nineteen women, produced the play, Shubert Alley, on October 19, in the college chapel. Miss Mary Niemeyer, of Hawarden, Iowa, sophomore daughter of Mr. and Mrs. William Niemeyer, (Ethel Ewer, '16) played the leading role. The highlight of health week, which is held annually in November, was the crowning of the health queen and king. Dean Scarborough crowned Lois Held, Hinton, Iowa, and Cadet Oliver Beckman, Elkhorn, W. Va., during the intermission of the dance held in the gymasium on Saturday night of health week. Joyce Roadman, Sioux City and Dawson Bray, Amarillo, Texas, were the attendants. Alumnae Zets Meet The alumnae Zetaletheans held their first fall meeting Friday evening, November 12, in the home of Misses Ruth and Helen Wedgwood. Twenty-three members were present. After the lovely informal dinner, Mrs. Louise Cairy Koch (ex '42) presided over a short business meeting. The rest of the evening was spent in catching up on the news and in playing bridge. All out-oftown alumnae are cordially invited to attend meetings whenever possible. The hostess for the January meeting is Jeanette Hartung Ro.rapaugh. International Students Day, dedicated to teachers and students in the service of their country all over the world, was observed with a program of special significance at the chapel hour on November 9. The flag salute, taps, and a two minute silent interval in reverence to the nine Morningside students killed in this war concluded the impressive service. Dr. J. E . Kirkpatrick, head of the education department, was re-elected for a threeyear term as executive committeeman at large at the State Teachers' Association meeting in Des Moines. Names of two Sioux Cityans, Professor T. C. Stephens, of Morningside, and W. C. Yeager, ex '32, principal of Whittier and Joy schools, are listed in the new 33rd annual edition of the Naturalist Directory.

Service Roll Ready Soon Work on a Service Roll which will be placed in the corridor of the Main Hall is prog.ressing but in order that the name of every Morningside alumnus, alumna and ex-student in service may be on the roll, we need your help. The Alumni Office has the names and addresses of six hundred men and women in service. If your name or the name of a friend whom you know in the service has not appeared on any of the five service rolls published so far in the Morningsider, you will be doing a service to yourself, your friend and us if you will mail the name and address to the alumni office. �November, Annual Reunion Dinner In Des Moines The get-together of Morningsiders in Des Moines and the surrounding territory which is planned -every year for Friday night during the State Teachers' Association meeting, was held this year in the Terrace Cafe on November 5th. · Although the attendance was not as large as some years, due to the fact that there were fewer t eachers able to attend the Association meeting than usual and many Des Moines Morningsiders had conflicting engagements, an enthusiastic meeting was enjoyed, with Dr. Roadman, Dr. J. E. Kirkpatrick, Miss Marcia McNee, and Mrs. Florence Kingsbury attending from the college. There are more than fifty Morningsiders residing in Des Moines and a number of new alumni and ex-students were located, who were anxious to be included in future Morningside reunions. Mrs. G. A. Royal (Florence Forsberg, ex '20), Mrs. Ben Hall (Harriet Fry, ex '14), and Miss Beth Hamnquist, ex '40, were appointed a committee to arrange for a meeting in January at which time a Morningside Club will be o.rganized.

Mr. Halloran is attending Northwestern university, where he is studying for a master's degree. Jack is a former music director of the Hawarden public schools. More Hintonites? Yes, indeed! Since publishing the first list of Morningsiders from Hinton, many more names have come to our attention. Although all these are not graduates of Hinton high school, they are natives of Hinton and as such should be included on the Hinton roll. The second installment of Hintonites will appear in an early issue.

"Rear Seat" Comment John W. Carey, in his column "The Rear Seat", comments on Mr. Waymack's agricultural experiences. An acre of wheat will feed more people than an acre given to grazing livestock; therefore the public must cut down its consumption of meat. An acre of potatoes will feed more people than an acre of wheat; therefore the public is urged to eat potatoes instead of bread.-W. W. W aymack, discussing the British agricultural situation in the London Outpost. Evidently Mr. Waymack has widened his agricultura l horizon. Oldtimers recall that as a student at Morningside college (190711) he was majoring in beans. Old timers will a lso recall in what connection the beans first made their appearance in the Morningside chapel. The success of the first experiment conducted by Mr. Waymack is attested to by the fact that the beans have since continued to make their annual appearance. Women In Service NineMorningside girls have graduated from Naval Reserve Midshipmen's School at Northhampton, Mass., between September, 1942 and September, 1943, as Women's Reserve Officers.

Elizabeth Melson, '32. Alice K. Morrison, '34. Golda Kane Moser, '22. Anna Mae Smith, '16. Mary Louise Smith, '33. Dorothy Johnson, '38. Marion Anderson Concert Thrills Audience The tremendous enthusiasm of the audience which filled the Orpheum theater to overflowing for the third number on the season's concert course sponsored by the Sioux City Civic Music Association acclaimed Marion Anderson as a worthy custodian of a great gift. Her program consisted of classic songs and negro spirituals; these and the concert by perhaps the greatest singer of our times, proved to be one never to be forgotten. DEATHS Mrs. Harriet A. Keeler Magee, wife of J. Ralph Magee, '04, Bishop of the Des Moines Area of the Methodist Church, died October 31, in the Iowa Methodist Hospital in Des Moines, Iowa. Mrs. Magee was a graduate of Iowa State Teachers College in Cedar Falls.

THE MORNINGSIDER Vol. 2 NOVEMBER, 1943 College Barn Being Rebuilt Basketball Dropped for Duration One of Morningside's top.ranking sports, bask etball, will be eliminated from the college activities this season due to the lack of manpower. Morningside is not the only college faced with t his situation. The North Central Conference has been disbanded for the duration with the result that there will be no intercollegiate basketball. The call to service in the armed forces has depleted the manpower. There a r e not enough m en left in any of these schools who have the time, inter est, and ability to play basketball in competition with other colleges. The few boys in school who do have an interest in the sport may enter the recreationa l league but will not enjoy the full privileges of a r egular college team because the n umber of home games will be limited. The men permanently stationed at the 81st C. T. D. may organize into a recreation al league team. The aviation students have very little time for basketball, but they may or ganize to play a few games. The Alumni Gym, however, is in constant use with gir ls taking it over four hours a day for intra-mural sports. The cadets u se the gym five hours a day, which includes their physical training periods. The regular boys' physical education class meets at 7:30 every morning. Legendary Landmark Being Razed Barlow Hall soon will be no more and it is with a twinge of regret as of parting with an old friend that many of the older alumni and students learn that wreckers are demolishing this stately English manor house. As the dream of an Englishman of establishing a country home in the heart of an Iowa prairie, the mansion has stood in lonely grandeur overlooking highway 141 for more than sixt y years. The scene of man y festive parties and gay times, its spacious rooms and attic bring back happ y m emories. The hayrack rides to and from Barlow Hall as classes and societies held Hallowe'en parties and frolics in the attic, with more formal rush parties and dinners in the gracious living quarters with their romantic fireplaces and stained-glass windows are very special memories of many former students at Morningside. "Big Chief Heap Happy" President and Mrs. Roadman are rejoicing over the news of the arrival of a grandson, Charles Harvey, Jr., who was born Nov. 27th, in San Antonio, Texas, to Major and Mrs. Charles H. Roadman. Although this is the Roadman's sixth grandchild, Charles Harvey, Jr., is the first grandson. No. 3 Rehabilitation wo.rk to convert the old World War I barracks building on the campus, popularly known as "the barn", into a combined girls' dining hall and student union "will beg in as soon as possible", announced David Stewart, president of the college board of trust ees, after their semiannual meeting on November 3. Since the a r my took over the women's residence hall, the coeds have had the u se of the dormitor y dining room, but t his arrangement has been concluded. Pending completion of the dining room in "the barn", the college has arranged with restaurants to pr ovide for the ninety girls. Plans embody equipping and furnishing a women's dining room on the fir st floo r , with an immediate capacity for ninety, and a student center on the second floor. Much of the work will be done by college students, the women supervising the interior furnishing and decorating. Equipment and furnishings for the dining room and center will be largely from supplies at the college. Cadets Interested in Morningside History Laura C. Fischer With · anticipation and eagerness, Miss Fischer began to teach, when a mere girl. She must always have had a great desire to teach, for only a passion for her profession could have made successful those first eight years when she carried an almost unbelievably heavy load of Latin, Greek, and German at St. Paul's College, and also supervised the girl's dormitory or rather "Ladices Hall" as it was then called. Her love of learning and her desire to be of service to young people were then and are now predominant characteristics. Her church and her school-these have been her life. The Trustees of Charles City College saw all of this and gave her the opportunity to come to Charles City College where she continued to study and to teach young women, not only Latin, Greek, or German, but much about the business of living. Finally, Charles City College and Morningside College merged. Many of the Charles City teachers came to Morningside, among them Laura Fisch er, and it is here that the alumni and the faculty of this college have come to know h er, and to appreciate and love her, a s a teacher and a s a co-worker. Miss Fischer is a woman of a very sensitive nature, sensitive to all that is beautiful about her, to the birds that she spies in the spring in "North Ravine", and to the personalities in the classroom, each one of whom she studies and knows, and in whom she sees possibilities. She comments in her office as she grades papers, "Well, now, he does very well. I think he can make it." And she sees to it that he do es, and that he reaches the high standard which she always holds. Miss Fischer's friends give her miniatures The boys of the 81st College . Training Detachment who come to us from all over the country as aviation students have a keen interest in the history of Morningsjde. The War College instructors are often stopped in the middle of a recitation to answer the query of some student about Morningside's past and all seem eager to learn more about this college which they enjoy so much during their brief stay. Especially has the trophy case in the main hall, containing the proof of a glorious past in the field of sport, attracted their attention. The Drake Relay trophies, Dakota Relay trophies along with those of indoor meets and many others, all come in for their share of admiration. From Prof. Van Horne, they learn of the spirit and prowess of former football teams -the days when Morningside came close to beating Notre Dame in two games and South Dakota was a rival often humbled by the valiant Maroons. Perhaps, after the war, some of these boys will return to Morningside to fini sh the work which they have started here and become a part of Morningside's history. of animals of which she is very proud, especially of dogs and cats ("pussies" to her). Many of the alumni remember her collection of these little things, and her room filled with these and man y other artistic things which express Miss Fischer herself. At home she's usually at her desk planning her work, often going beyond her strength that she may do it well. The many may not know her, for she is of a r etiring disposition. Morningsiders who have had the privilege of being in her classes and of knowing her as a friend, have met a great spirit.

Haakinson, '26, recently promoted to Major, is serving as an assistant signal officer with Major General James H. Doolittle's air force in the European area. Edwin began his career as a newspaper man during his student days at Morningside when he worked nights as a reporter and sports writer for the Sioux City Tribune, until he was promoted to city editor and acting managing editor. Later he joined the Washington bureau of the Associated Press and continued his work as a reporter, until he entered active service in the army following Pearl Harbor. As an Associated Press reporter he worked under Edgar Hoover fo.r a year, and experiences he had in covering his activities proved most interesting. Likewise as special reporter for Henry Wallace, Ed received valuable training and became an ardent admirer of the Iowa agriculturist. However, his most enojyable work was the three years he spent as the Associated Press reporter in the senate, where there was never a dull moment. During all this time Edwin travelled extensively on diplomatic missions and investigations, some of these ventures taking him to foreign shores. After entering active service in the Air Corps as a 2nd Lt. and t aking training at Miami Beach, Fla., and Ft. Monmouth, N. J., he received the commission of Captain and returned to ser vice in Washington. Upon applying for overseas duty he was ordered to .r eport to Major General Doolittle in April, 1943, and although his former commander in Washington has urgently requested his return, Major Haakinson has remained at his post overseas. At Morningside Ed excelled in the many activities in which he participated, especially in the field of oratory, debate, and journalism. He also captained the track team during his senior year and made his "M" in football. Mrs. Haakinson (Jean Robbins, '34) a former Sioux City resident, continues to reside in Washington, where she is a busy employee of the F. H. A. Miriam Adams, ex '46 Pvt.

Orville was as pleased as I. Of course, we talked of Morningside until the wee small hours." November, 1943 Page 3 Morningside College Alumni and Former • Students Ill Service Since space cioes not permit printing · a complete Ser vice Roll of graduates and former students at one time, we have listed in this issue t he names of those whose rank or address has been changed during the month and added names of new men in the Service.

A/ S Ray Simak, staff photographer of the 81st C. T. D., strapped himself in the plane and leaned out the open door of the cabin with his trusty camera to get this excellent view of the college and surrounding area. While the picture was being taken, the plane hit an air pocket and Instructor Davidson, who was doing the flying, ripped his head through the canvass top of the plane, according to Simak. Easily identified in the picture are the Conservatory of Music, the Alumni Gynasium and the Administration Building. Barely discernible are the Cadets taking P. T. on the field. This picture is printed through the courtesy of Lt. Cohen, in charge of ''The Dodo," the snappy publication of the 81st C. T. D. Shubert Alley CAMPUS BRIEFS The Collegiate Players, under the direction of Mrs. Orville Kraemer, head of the dramatics department, with an all-coed cast of nineteen women, produced the play, Shubert Alley, on October 19, in the college chapel. Miss Mary Niemeyer, of Hawarden, Iowa, sophomore daughter of Mr. and Mrs. William Niemeyer, (Ethel Ewer, '16) played the leading role. The highlight of health week, which is held annually in November, was the crowning of the health queen and king. Dean Scarborough crowned Lois Held, Hinton, Iowa, and Cadet Oliver Beckman, Elkhorn, W. Va., during the intermission of the dance held in the gymasium on Saturday night of health week. Joyce Roadman, Sioux City and Dawson Bray, Amarillo, Texas, were the attendants. Alumnae Zets Meet The alumnae Zetaletheans held their first fall meeting Friday evening, November 12, in the home of Misses Ruth and Helen Wedgwood. Twenty-three members were present. After the lovely informal dinner, Mrs. Louise Cairy Koch (ex '42) presided over a short business meeting. The rest of the evening was spent in catching up on the news and in playing bridge. All out-oftown alumnae are cordially invited to attend meetings whenever possible. The hostess for the January meeting is Jeanette Hartung Ro.rapaugh. International Students Day, dedicated to teachers and students in the service of their country all over the world, was observed with a program of special significance at the chapel hour on November 9. The flag salute, taps, and a two minute silent interval in reverence to the nine Morningside students killed in this war concluded the impressive service. Dr. J. E . Kirkpatrick, head of the education department, was re-elected for a threeyear term as executive committeeman at large at the State Teachers' Association meeting in Des Moines. Names of two Sioux Cityans, Professor T. C. Stephens, of Morningside, and W. C. Yeager, ex '32, principal of Whittier and Joy schools, are listed in the new 33rd annual edition of the Naturalist Directory. The directory provides names and addresses of all professional and amateur naturalists in North and South America. Service Roll Ready Soon Work on a Service Roll which will be placed in the corridor of the Main Hall is prog.ressing but in order that the name of every Morningside alumnus, alumna and ex-student in service may be on the roll, we need your help. The Alumni Office has the names and addresses of six hundred men and women in service. If your name or the name of a friend whom you know in the service has not appeared on any of the five service rolls published so far in the Morningsider, you will be doing a service to yourself, your friend and us if you will mail the name and address to the alumni office. November, Annual Reunion Dinner In Des Moines The get-together of Morningsiders in Des Moines and the surrounding territory which is planned -every year for Friday night during the State Teachers' Association meeting, was held this year in the Terrace Cafe on November 5th. · Although the attendance was not as large as some years, due to the fact that there were fewer t eachers able to attend the Association meeting than usual and many Des Moines Morningsiders had conflicting engagements, an enthusiastic meeting was enjoyed, with Dr. Roadman, Dr. J. E. Kirkpatrick, Miss Marcia McNee, and Mrs. Florence Kingsbury attending from the college. There are more than fifty Morningsiders residing in Des Moines and a number of new alumni and ex-students were located, who were anxious to be included in future Morningside reunions. Mrs. G. A. Royal (Florence Forsberg, ex '20), Mrs. Ben Hall (Harriet Fry, ex '14), and Miss Beth Hamnquist, ex '40, were appointed a committee to arrange for a meeting in January at which time a Morningside Club will be o.rganized. Former Singers Here on Chicago Radio Programs Jack and Virginia Crane Halloran, '38 and '39, who in private life are Mr. and Mrs. Jack Halloran, are adding radio distinctions in Chicago to the musical successes already won in Sioux City. Both have sung many times in the Grandview park bandshell. Mr. Halloran sings with a chorus of eight men on the Carnation milk radio program and also is first tenor in Cadets, a male quartet, heard on the National Farm and Home hour, the Breakfast Club and the Blue Frolic programs of the Blue network, of which KSCJ is an affiliate station.

Mr. Halloran is attending Northwestern university, where he is studying for a master's degree. Jack is a former music director of the Hawarden public schools. More Hintonites? Yes, indeed! Since publishing the first list of Morningsiders from Hinton, many more names have come to our attention. Although all these are not graduates of Hinton high school, they are natives of Hinton and as such should be included on the Hinton roll. The second installment of Hintonites will appear in an early issue.

"Rear Seat" Comment John W. Carey, in his column "The Rear Seat", comments on Mr. Waymack's agricultural experiences. An acre of wheat will feed more people than an acre given to grazing livestock; therefore the public must cut down its consumption of meat. An acre of potatoes will feed more people than an acre of wheat; therefore the public is urged to eat potatoes instead of bread.-W. W. W aymack, discussing the British agricultural situation in the London Outpost. Evidently Mr. Waymack has widened his agricultura l horizon. Oldtimers recall that as a student at Morningside college (190711) he was majoring in beans. Old timers will a lso recall in what connection the beans first made their appearance in the Morningside chapel. The success of the first experiment conducted by Mr. Waymack is attested to by the fact that the beans have since continued to make their annual appearance. Women In Service NineMorningside girls have graduated from Naval Reserve Midshipmen's School at Northhampton, Mass., between September, 1942 and September, 1943, as Women's Reserve Officers. They have been assigned to specialized training or active duty at shore stations in the United States. The list includes: Iris C. Ander son, '27. Yvonne Belson, ex '36. Frances Fowler Dennery, '40. Elizabeth Melson, '32. Alice K. Morrison, '34. Golda Kane Moser, '22. Anna Mae Smith, '16. Mary Louise Smith, '33. Dorothy Johnson, '38. Marion Anderson Concert Thrills Audience The tremendous enthusiasm of the audience which filled the Orpheum theater to overflowing for the third number on the season's concert course sponsored by the Sioux City Civic Music Association acclaimed Marion Anderson as a worthy custodian of a great gift. Her program consisted of classic songs and negro spirituals; these and the concert by perhaps the greatest singer of our times, proved to be one never to be forgotten. DEATHS Mrs. Harriet A. Keeler Magee, wife of J. Ralph Magee, '04, Bishop of the Des Moines Area of the Methodist Church, died October 31, in the Iowa Methodist Hospital in Des Moines, Iowa. Mrs. Magee was a graduate of Iowa State Teachers College in Cedar Falls.

The Morningsider Volume 02, Number 03 was published for the month of November in 1943. This issue is in fair condition with only a few minor concerns. The biggest of these is the crease in the middle of the pages, which suggests that the issue had been folded in half and then kept like that for a very long time. And because of this crease, there are rips and tears along both edges of it, and also discoloring of the pages along the crease (though no text is rendered illegible by this).

Students in his Romance Language classes have come to know more than foreign languages; they have come to know people. For Henry Kanthlener traveled abroad many times and could bring to his students an intimate picture of the character, habits, and life ·history of German, Frenchman, Spaniard, or Italian. Always a student as well as teacher, Henry, as his friends call him, has spent many summers in graduate study at Harvard University, Chicago University, University of Madrid, University of Dijon, National University of Mexico, and many others. The most recent were the University of Iowa in the summer of 1941 and the University of Wisconsin last summer.

A discriminating lover of fine music, he has been a constant source of encouragement, not only to those who promote civic music projects, but to music students as well. If you take a keen mind, a fine sense of humor, a lover of art in all its forms, and a warm interest in humanity, and put them all together, you have Henry Kanthlener. May he have many more years at Morningside, the College he has served so long and so well. Alumni Chorus Will Sing Again at Commencement Alumni members of the College Choir will again present their annual concert the evening of Baccalaureate Sunday, May 30. A cordial invitation is extended to all former students who have sung under Mr. MacCollin's direction to take part. This concert was inaugurated two years ago and was one of the most popular features of the Commencement program. The Alumni Chorus presents a fine concert, but more than that, they enjoy singing under Mr. Mac's direction and have a fine reunion among themselves. Rehearsals are being planned for Saturday and Sunday afternoons. Alumni and ex-students in and around Sioux City are urged to make a special effort this year to take part in the concert. Write Mr. MacCollin that you will be here for the musical. Published monthly from September to June, inclusive, by Morningside College. Application for entry as second class matter is pending at Sioux City, Iowa. �Page 2 College Announces Summer Plans May, 1943 is allowed· and the trainee receives pay for the time he puts in for this training.

Due to the complications caused by the war and transportation difficulties, many of those who live at a distance will have to forego a visit to the campus of their Alma Mater. But those of you in Sioux City are privileged and should attend the exercises of the week. In making plans for Commencement, remember that Decoration Day this year is being observed on Monday, May 31, which coincides with Alumni Day at Morningside. This double holiday should make it possible for many to attend who might otherwise not be able to do so. The classes planning reunions are those of '03, '13, '18, '23, '28, '33, and '38. Anyone who can attend the reunion of one of these groups, notify your chairman, who is as follows: '03 A. R. Toothaker, 4312 Orleans, Sioux City. '13 Marie Wood Green, 1029 South Paxton, Sioux City, '18 Vivian Down Wolle, 3301 Jennings, Sioux City. '23 Clara Back Graning, 3115 Summit, Sioux City. '28 Mrs. M. E. Graber, 3815 Garretson, Sioux City. '33 Helen Bottom, 1819 Nebraska St., Sioux City. '38 Sara L. VanHorne, 1501 Sioux Trail, Sioux City.

Such an outlook makes pleasanter r eading. But it should probably be kept in mind that the increase in many species of wildlife is the result of much laborious effort on the part of militant conservationists and that we can not even now afford to entirely relax our vigilance. * * * It was with a great deal of pleasure that friends of Mrs. Carl Baker (Miriam Hawthorne, '39) of Moville, Iowa, learned that her poem " The Advent," had been awarded first place in the Poetry Cont est sponsored by the Iowa Federation of Women's Clubs. Judge of the contest was Dr. Helen White of the University of Wisconson. Miriam was presented with a medal at the State Federation Convention in Des Moines on May 6th. We are happy to have a copy of the poem to print. THE ADVENT When I was young I thought You came Into a world of lambs and star, Into a world of shepherds, flocks, And wise men riding from afar. Long years must pass before I knew You came into a cold world, too. Students Discuss Topics of the Day Over KTRI Radio listeners in the vicinity of Morningside College are familiar with the Morningside Collegiate Radio Forum which has been on the air for 26 weeks. Dr. Thomas E . Tweito acts as its mode rat or and Ted Walensky is the student director of the radio panel. The purpose of the Colleg iat e Ra dio Forum is to give young people a chance to t est their knowledge and to gain radio experience. Every participant is subject to challenge by other members of the panel and by listeners. The second purpose of the pr og ram is to bring problems of national and international scope to the listeners in an educat ional and informative manner. No political views are expressed. The forum is open to participation by any student and faculty member. The forum has enjoyed a marked aptitude for picking vital topics to be discussed for the first time in this radio territory. Besides the KTRI broadcasts, the panel has made appearances before organi zations in the Sioux City area and plans are being made to visit towns in the Sioux City t rade t erritory. M orningsiders In Print Two year s ago the publication of "Wildlife Conservation" by Ira N. Gabrielson, '12, was received. Now it is our pleasure t o announce his fourth book, "Wildlife Refuges," just issued by the Macmillan Company in 1943. As Director of the Fish and Wildlife Service of the U. S. Department of Interior, Dr. Gabrielson has been in a position to secure recent and authoritative information on this subject. In the Intr oduction, the author states that he has vi sited all of the majo. national refuges except one. As a r compendium of facts concerning our wildlife refu ges, this work is the latest and most complete. Dr. Gabrielson writes with a facile pen, well t r ained by much experience. Let us illust rat e with this example: "The buffalo are but a memor y-kept alive in a number of carefull y guarded h erds. The waterfowl, along with many others of the wild folk, t raveled far down the path to extinction before the onward rush of the white men. Some, forc ed all the way, are the ghosts of a vanished heritage." In the writing of his book, Dr. Gabrielson has noticeably departed from the older style of pessimism and dire prediction. The t one throughout is hopefully narrative. It is a r ecord of achievement. One begins to feel that some of our native wildlife may, When I was young I thought You came With angels heralding Your birth, With heaven rent by glorious song And messages of peace for earth. Long years would go before I knew You came with harsh note sounding, too. When I was young I thought You came, A child, to live as Mary's son, A boy, t o play with wood and nails, And fashion toys as I have done. Long years had passed before I knew That wood and nails make crosses, too. -Miriam Hawthorne Baker * * * Lucile Vickers, '23, Librarian at East High School, has written an article entitled "Education for Living" which appeared in the April number of the Wilson Library Bulletin. Lucile says in part: "Boys and girls today are not r eading fiction; they are reading about aviation, chemistry, nutrition, and other things which the war has made prominent. It is the r esponsibility of adults to guide their reading into education for living to prepare them for the intensified problems of living after the war so that they will know how to live. Children need books that arouse a knowledge of all that the boys and girls might become and the ambition to work toward that ideal. The librarian is in a key position to guide them into reading avenues in biography, fic tion, and such subjects as health, personality, family life, vocations, and recreation, which will help the boys and girls when peace comes." �Page 4 May, Former Faculty News Mrs. Paul Handel (Ruth Miller, former speech and dramatics teacher, '36-'38), is working on her M.

He spent nine months in overseas duty with the 13th Marines under command of Gen. Smedley Butler in the first World War and for the past eleven months has been a machine gunner on a merchant ship in the southwest Pacific. Harold had many thrilling adventures to relate and when his leave is over, he expects to return to the west coast and try for another assignment on a merchant ship. Y Yeager, Walter G., ex '43, Ensign . Military Notes In a simple but impressive ceremony at the Sioux City Air Base, against a background of B-17s, under a bright blue sky, with officers and men at attention, the awards of the Silver Star and Order of the Purple Heart were posthumously presented t o Mr. and Mrs. L. H. Keightley, parents of Louis H . Keightley, Jr., ex '38, Sergeant in the Army Air Corps, who was killed in action on February 8, 1942. Sergeant Keightley was cited for gallantry in action on J anuary 16, 1942, when, as radio operator on a B-17E attacked by the Japanese, "his courage and attention to duty was in keeping with the finest traditions of the Army Air Forces." * * * The many friends of Devon "Gus" Hahn, '41, who was r eported missing in action in the previous issue of The Morningsider, will be, happy to know that he is alive and well. A short wave message from "Gus", Lieut. Col. Horace F. Wulf Lieut. Col. Horace F . Wulf, '36, at present serving as an executive officer of the 133 Infantry Regiment in the 34 Division in the African war theat er, is also a veteran of the First World War. He was to have graduated with the class of 1918 but left school in '17 to serve overseas with the Medical Corps of the 133rd Field Hospital Unit. Horace had been taking a pre-medic course in college with a view to entering the medical profession but was one of the many soldiers stricken in the epidemic of spinal meningitis in France before the close of the war, so was forced to give up his plans. However, he returned to Morningside and received his A. B. degree. During his college years he worked as a reporter for the Sioux City Tribune, later becoming advertising manager and city editor. He left Sioux City to become editor of the Daily Calumet in Chicago in 1938, COLLEGE TRANSCRIPTS FOR WAR SERVICE Morningside College wishes to give the most efficient a ssistance to graduates and former students needing college transcripts for military or other war-time service. Because we are receiving so many requests for such records at the present time it is necessary to take them up in the order of receipt. It is not always possible for us to send a record immediately upon receipt of the telegram or letter. We shall appreciate your cooperation in giving early notice of your need for a transcript. Also, it will save time if the specific service is indicated in the request so that we may know the necessary form of the record. Delays are sometimes caused by illegible handwriting, especially of signatures and addresses. --George E. Hill, Registrar being taken in as a partner later. Mr. Wulf became a major in the National Guard following the World war and was called back into service in February, 1941. After taking advanced training in a Battalion Commander Course at Fort Benning, he was planning and training instructor at Camp Claiborne before sailing on January 14, 1942, with the first A. E. F . contingent for Ireland. After being stationed in Ireland for a year, he was sent with troops to Africa where he has been in active service in Tunisia. Recently he was in command of a company which stormed and captured a town in the Tunisian area. Mrs. Wulf (Bernice Challman, '16) and son, Jerry, are here in Sioux City for the duration. The following is an excerpt from a letter to Rev. George Dunn, '21, written March 31, 1943. "At this writing it looks like the beginning of the end in Africa. My prayers go fo r a speedy conclusion of the whole sorry mess. Civilization has much to build as mankind licks his wounds for a couple of decades. We'll suffer many more inhibitions before and after it's over, but if this is the war to end international strife, no price is too dear. They may talk about courts of international justice, world police forces and formidable armies and navies for the democracies to sustain peace, but they'll never make it safe for the canary of peace to leave its cage until we start giving about a tenth as much to peace and the church as we toss to the mad dogs of war. Of course this is an African pr ospective, but civilization and political statesmen will have to take a different tack. Sincerely, Lt. Col. Horace F . Wulf Hqs 133 Inf. U . S. Army A.P.O. 34, New York �May, TRACK Dual - meets and tri - meets led the cinder-path events this year. At a meeting of the North Central Conference coaches at Minneapolis, Minnesota, it was decided to disband the North Central Conference track meet for the duration. Don Snyder, representative for Morningside at the meeting, ,made a bid for the cinder-path event. Morningside has been hit by service call s although there are a few men returning. The outstanding tracker is the assistant coach, M. 0. Hodges who hails from Baker University, Baldwin, Kansas. Hodges is a four sport letterman who is continuing his academic work here but will return to Baker in May to receive his degree. The assistant coach won a total of twelve letters while competing in football, baseball, basketball, and track. He is rated as all-Kansas Conference back for the last three seasons and in basketball he was an all-conference guard for two seasons. In his freshman year he won four major awards and is the only athlete to do this in the school's history. The Morningside College Maroons held two intra-squad meets consisting of a septathalon and an octathalon. The septahalon, consisting of seven events, was held on April 21 and 22 and was won by Bill Briggs who collected· 2,695 points. He won only one first in the meet which was the high jump. The octathalon, consisting of eight events was won by Bill Meacham. The first dual-meet of the season was held April 16 with Wayne State Teachers at the City Stadium.

Page 9 1943 Zeta Sigma Program Zeta Sigma, honoary scholastic fraternity, extends a cordial invitation to all alumni, trustees, and friends of Morningside to attend the annual address honoring candidates from the graduation class at 4:30 P. M., Monday, May 31. Rev. Myron C. Insko, of the class of '14, will be the speaker. The Student Union Room on third floor of Main Hall will be the scene of the meeting. Alumni member's of Zeta Sigma are urged to attend the initiation of the 1943 candidates in the Student Union Room at 3:15 P. M. The group will recess during the review on Bass Field and reconvene for the address. Victor V. Schuldt President of Zeta Sigma The Old Order Changeth One who has not been on the campus recently cannot visualize the changes that have followed the coming of the Army Air Corps. A new style for men has come to the campus. The casual campus clothes have been displaced by the trim Army uniforms. The carefree sauntering along college walks has yielded to the orderly military march. The small conversation of other days has been drowned in the rhythmic shouting of "hut, two, three, four, U. S. Air Corps" to the cadence of which the soldiers march to and from their classes. The singing of many verses and variations of the Army Air Corps song provides an interesting accompaniment to the marching feet. The public address system has been replaced by Army officers who shout their commands in no uncertain tones. Bass Field is in almost constant use. From morning 'til night some group of soldiers is taking vigorous calisthenics, playing some competitive game, running the obstacle course or undergoing military drill. Saturday afternoons the townsfolk turn out to see the entire group reviewed by the commanding officer. Color is added to this inspiring ceremony by the presence of a large military band. The instruments that have called us to make war upon the "Coyotes" are now used to build morale for the men who will keep our country free. The dining room of the Dorm is a beehive of activity from 5 A. M. 'til 10 P. M., when Taps are sounded. The most evident change is the displacement of the lettuce salad by copious amounts of meat and potatoes. There seems to be a .shortage of the traditional Army bean. The amount of food consumed in one day is a military secret. 'The one unmistakable reminder of the "good old days" is the spirit of warm Morningside cordiality which continues to pervade the atmosphere. This is one tradition that the war cannot change. Missing In Action Mr. and Mrs. Robert C. Sterling, 1814 W. 18th St., Sioux City, have been informed by the Adjutant General that their son, Jay Robert Sterling, ex '42, has been missing since May 1st in the European area.

Dunn, ex '44, a former baritone in the Conservatory of Music, was highly praised by the press of Dallas, Texas, where he sang recently in a twilight musical concert of the Dallas Federation of Music Clubs. Dale's voice was described as "a lyric baritone of smooth range and individual quality." Our Boys Write Us In a letter to Dr. Stephens, Calmon Levich, ex '44, in commenting on an address by Harry Hopkins reprinted in a recent Reader's Digest, strenuously objects to Mr. Hopkins' statement that everyone over the age of 18 attending an institution of higher learning should be in the .r eserves, the armed forces, or studying an occupation vital to the war effort. Cal says, "Many of us left school to help fight the war, thinking that a democratic educational system would remain at home, not only waiting for us but operating in our absence. We were convinced that unless some of those who stayed behind were privileged to study the workings of civilization there would be nothing awaiting our return. After all, we enlisted to protect the forms of life and education that would assure us that the destiny of our country would be in the hands of men of learning-men in whom the spirit of democracy and tolerance was being imbued by the institution we left. Opinions on education should be confined to educators who are qualified to have them. Mr. Hopkins would leave us a generation of automatons. We could well learn a lesson from the Chinese, who, in spite of years of ravage, have left the more promising of their youth in schools to assure the future of the country in peace time. It would, indeed, be an empty victory that saw those who were intelligent enough to seek learning regimented by Harry Hopkins. * * * Charles Seward, '39, wrote an enthusiastic a cco unt of an impromptu and informal reunion held by a group of former Morningsiders living in and around Evanston, Chicago. Chuck writes, "At the instigation of Willard Cunningham, '41, the group gathered at the Presbyterian Theological Seminary where Bob Caine, '42, and Bob Rae, '41, ably assisted by Bob Rae's wife Joyce, acted as hosts. Those attending from Garrett Biblical Institute were Willard and Mildred Cunningham, '41, Tony and Alice Gedwillo, and brother John, Tony and John being graduates of '42, and your correspondent. From the Ensign school on Navy Pier came Phil Baker, ex '43, who is about to begin two years of technical training at some college the Navy has comandeered for that purpose. The bunch poked its collective nose into the showpieces on the Presbyterian Campus, and afterwards finished off the evening with a lunch and discussion of affairs in general." * * * An interesting letter from John W. Skrable, '34, came to our office some time ago. The letter follows: Dear Editor: The February issue of the Bulletin with its mention of W. W . Waymack, '11, and Edwin Haakinson, '26, plus the recently started and pleasant custom of sending the Collegian Reporter to former editors of the paper have reminded me that I long ago told Dr. Roadman that I would sometime write on former Morningsiders who have joined the ranks of "the funny little men in the battered hats and baggy pants in the pressbox." Waymack's story was covered in the Bulletin and on Capt. Haakinson I can only add that he was city editor of the old Sioux City Tribune for several years before head· ing for Washington and the AP. In school with Haakinson was Marion Leslie Woodward ('25, I think) who started her career on the Des Moines Register and for years was official sobsister on the �May, aforementioned old, old Tribune. "Shorty", as far as I know, still is woman's editor of the Pittsburg (Pa.) Sun-Telegraph. After Leslie and Haakinson, came a hiatus in the production of ink-stained wretches until the drought and depression 30's. Then in rapid order came B. C. "Boo" Kindig, '32, who cubbed on the Tribune and, after time on a Des Moines labor paper and other stints, now is with the radio bureau of United Press in New York City; myself, also a cub on the Tribune and on the night sports desk of the Journal before I entered service; Vic Bovee, ex '34, now on the Journal desk, after time in Des Moines, Marshalltown and other spots; Howard Dobson, ex '35, now covering politics for the Associated Press at Albany, N.. Y., after service on Des Moines, Omaha, Lincoln and Sioux City papers. Following the brief epidemic of the early 30's, I know of no other alumni who became leg men or copy readers, except Nancy Mahood, ex '38, also mentioned in the February Bulletin. I've always been sure there was some significance in the Kindig, Bovee, Skrable, Dobson · renaissance of interest in journalism at Morningside but thus far it escapes me. We all were brethren in ATD and all managed to get ourselves into far too many scrapes. Sometimes I've thought that all the interviews we had with authorities caused us to decide we might as well get paid for that kind of work but I suppose the true meaning is much, much deeper than that. Maybe, I'll be able to figure it out after DOW (and six months). In the meantime, among other things, I'm putting out a fortnightly paper at the Coast Guard Base and Training Station, Government Island, Alameda, Calif., (a copy of the sheet is enclosed) which in service jardon makes me a "politician", and I received a lot of experience in politics on the campus, too. But I insist that I'm not a "feather merchant" because I didn't ship in with a rate and still do not have one. J . W. Skrable ('34) Sea 1c 106 New Administration Bldg. USCG Training Station Government Island Alameda, Calif. With Our Boys Lt. John Davis Thomson, '33, is in the U. S. Army and stationed at Randolph Field in Texas. There he is connected with the School of Aviation Medicine, with particular attention to High Altitude Physiology.

This testing is done by placing the men in large air tanks in which the air pressure is variable, and measured by altimeters, barometers, rate of climb indicators, etc. After gr·a duating from Morningside College in 1933, Lt. Thomson spent a year in graduate work at the University of Chicago, and obtained his Ph. D. at the State University of Iowa in 1937.

Students in his Romance Language classes have come to know more than foreign languages; they have come to know people. For Henry Kanthlener traveled abroad many times and could bring to his students an intimate picture of the character, habits, and life ·history of German, Frenchman, Spaniard, or Italian. Always a student as well as teacher, Henry, as his friends call him, has spent many summers in graduate study at Harvard University, Chicago University, University of Madrid, University of Dijon, National University of Mexico, and many others. The most recent were the University of Iowa in the summer of 1941 and the University of Wisconsin last summer.

A discriminating lover of fine music, he has been a constant source of encouragement, not only to those who promote civic music projects, but to music students as well. If you take a keen mind, a fine sense of humor, a lover of art in all its forms, and a warm interest in humanity, and put them all together, you have Henry Kanthlener. May he have many more years at Morningside, the College he has served so long and so well. Alumni Chorus Will Sing Again at Commencement Alumni members of the College Choir will again present their annual concert the evening of Baccalaureate Sunday, May 30. A cordial invitation is extended to all former students who have sung under Mr. MacCollin's direction to take part. This concert was inaugurated two years ago and was one of the most popular features of the Commencement program. The Alumni Chorus presents a fine concert, but more than that, they enjoy singing under Mr. Mac's direction and have a fine reunion among themselves. Rehearsals are being planned for Saturday and Sunday afternoons. Alumni and ex-students in and around Sioux City are urged to make a special effort this year to take part in the concert. Write Mr. MacCollin that you will be here for the musical. Published monthly from September to June, inclusive, by Morningside College.

Due to the complications caused by the war and transportation difficulties, many of those who live at a distance will have to forego a visit to the campus of their Alma Mater. But those of you in Sioux City are privileged and should attend the exercises of the week. In making plans for Commencement, remember that Decoration Day this year is being observed on Monday, May 31, which coincides with Alumni Day at Morningside. This double holiday should make it possible for many to attend who might otherwise not be able to do so. The classes planning reunions are those of '03, '13, '18, '23, '28, '33, and '38. Anyone who can attend the reunion of one of these groups, notify your chairman, who is as follows: '03 A. R. Toothaker, 4312 Orleans, Sioux City. '13 Marie Wood Green, 1029 South Paxton, Sioux City, '18 Vivian Down Wolle, 3301 Jennings, Sioux City. '23 Clara Back Graning, 3115 Summit, Sioux City. '28 Mrs. M. E. Graber, 3815 Garretson, Sioux City. '33 Helen Bottom, 1819 Nebraska St., Sioux City. '38 Sara L. VanHorne, 1501 Sioux Trail, Sioux City.

Such an outlook makes pleasanter r eading. But it should probably be kept in mind that the increase in many species of wildlife is the result of much laborious effort on the part of militant conservationists and that we can not even now afford to entirely relax our vigilance. * * * It was with a great deal of pleasure that friends of Mrs. Carl Baker (Miriam Hawthorne, '39) of Moville, Iowa, learned that her poem " The Advent," had been awarded first place in the Poetry Cont est sponsored by the Iowa Federation of Women's Clubs. Judge of the contest was Dr. Helen White of the University of Wisconson. Miriam was presented with a medal at the State Federation Convention in Des Moines on May 6th. We are happy to have a copy of the poem to print. THE ADVENT When I was young I thought You came Into a world of lambs and star, Into a world of shepherds, flocks, And wise men riding from afar. Long years must pass before I knew You came into a cold world, too. Students Discuss Topics of the Day Over KTRI Radio listeners in the vicinity of Morningside College are familiar with the Morningside Collegiate Radio Forum which has been on the air for 26 weeks. Dr. Thomas E . Tweito acts as its mode rat or and Ted Walensky is the student director of the radio panel. The purpose of the Colleg iat e Ra dio Forum is to give young people a chance to t est their knowledge and to gain radio experience. Every participant is subject to challenge by other members of the panel and by listeners. The second purpose of the pr og ram is to bring problems of national and international scope to the listeners in an educat ional and informative manner. No political views are expressed. The forum is open to participation by any student and faculty member. The forum has enjoyed a marked aptitude for picking vital topics to be discussed for the first time in this radio territory. Besides the KTRI broadcasts, the panel has made appearances before organi zations in the Sioux City area and plans are being made to visit towns in the Sioux City t rade t erritory. M orningsiders In Print Two year s ago the publication of "Wildlife Conservation" by Ira N. Gabrielson, '12, was received. Now it is our pleasure t o announce his fourth book, "Wildlife Refuges," just issued by the Macmillan Company in 1943. As Director of the Fish and Wildlife Service of the U. S. Department of Interior, Dr. Gabrielson has been in a position to secure recent and authoritative information on this subject. In the Intr oduction, the author states that he has vi sited all of the majo. national refuges except one. As a r compendium of facts concerning our wildlife refu ges, this work is the latest and most complete. Dr. Gabrielson writes with a facile pen, well t r ained by much experience. Let us illust rat e with this example: "The buffalo are but a memor y-kept alive in a number of carefull y guarded h erds. The waterfowl, along with many others of the wild folk, t raveled far down the path to extinction before the onward rush of the white men. Some, forc ed all the way, are the ghosts of a vanished heritage." In the writing of his book, Dr. Gabrielson has noticeably departed from the older style of pessimism and dire prediction. The t one throughout is hopefully narrative. It is a r ecord of achievement. One begins to feel that some of our native wildlife may, When I was young I thought You came With angels heralding Your birth, With heaven rent by glorious song And messages of peace for earth. Long years would go before I knew You came with harsh note sounding, too. When I was young I thought You came, A child, to live as Mary's son, A boy, t o play with wood and nails, And fashion toys as I have done. Long years had passed before I knew That wood and nails make crosses, too. -Miriam Hawthorne Baker * * * Lucile Vickers, '23, Librarian at East High School, has written an article entitled "Education for Living" which appeared in the April number of the Wilson Library Bulletin. Lucile says in part: "Boys and girls today are not r eading fiction; they are reading about aviation, chemistry, nutrition, and other things which the war has made prominent. It is the r esponsibility of adults to guide their reading into education for living to prepare them for the intensified problems of living after the war so that they will know how to live. Children need books that arouse a knowledge of all that the boys and girls might become and the ambition to work toward that ideal. The librarian is in a key position to guide them into reading avenues in biography, fic tion, and such subjects as health, personality, family life, vocations, and recreation, which will help the boys and girls when peace comes." Page 4 May, Former Faculty News Mrs. Paul Handel (Ruth Miller, former speech and dramatics teacher, '36-'38), is working on her M.

Y Yeager, Walter G., ex '43, Ensign . Military Notes In a simple but impressive ceremony at the Sioux City Air Base, against a background of B-17s, under a bright blue sky, with officers and men at attention, the awards of the Silver Star and Order of the Purple Heart were posthumously presented t o Mr. and Mrs. L. H. Keightley, parents of Louis H . Keightley, Jr., ex '38, Sergeant in the Army Air Corps, who was killed in action on February 8, 1942. Sergeant Keightley was cited for gallantry in action on J anuary 16, 1942, when, as radio operator on a B-17E attacked by the Japanese, "his courage and attention to duty was in keeping with the finest traditions of the Army Air Forces." * * * The many friends of Devon "Gus" Hahn, '41, who was r eported missing in action in the previous issue of The Morningsider, will be, happy to know that he is alive and well. A short wave message from "Gus", Lieut. Col. Horace F. Wulf Lieut. Col. Horace F . Wulf, '36, at present serving as an executive officer of the 133 Infantry Regiment in the 34 Division in the African war theat er, is also a veteran of the First World War. He was to have graduated with the class of 1918 but left school in '17 to serve overseas with the Medical Corps of the 133rd Field Hospital Unit. Horace had been taking a pre-medic course in college with a view to entering the medical profession but was one of the many soldiers stricken in the epidemic of spinal meningitis in France before the close of the war, so was forced to give up his plans. However, he returned to Morningside and received his A. B. degree. During his college years he worked as a reporter for the Sioux City Tribune, later becoming advertising manager and city editor. He left Sioux City to become editor of the Daily Calumet in Chicago in 1938, COLLEGE TRANSCRIPTS FOR WAR SERVICE Morningside College wishes to give the most efficient a ssistance to graduates and former students needing college transcripts for military or other war-time service. Because we are receiving so many requests for such records at the present time it is necessary to take them up in the order of receipt. It is not always possible for us to send a record immediately upon receipt of the telegram or letter. We shall appreciate your cooperation in giving early notice of your need for a transcript. Also, it will save time if the specific service is indicated in the request so that we may know the necessary form of the record. Delays are sometimes caused by illegible handwriting, especially of signatures and addresses. --George E. Hill, Registrar being taken in as a partner later. Mr. Wulf became a major in the National Guard following the World war and was called back into service in February, 1941. After taking advanced training in a Battalion Commander Course at Fort Benning, he was planning and training instructor at Camp Claiborne before sailing on January 14, 1942, with the first A. E. F . contingent for Ireland. After being stationed in Ireland for a year, he was sent with troops to Africa where he has been in active service in Tunisia. Recently he was in command of a company which stormed and captured a town in the Tunisian area. Mrs. Wulf (Bernice Challman, '16) and son, Jerry, are here in Sioux City for the duration. The following is an excerpt from a letter to Rev. George Dunn, '21, written March 31, 1943. "At this writing it looks like the beginning of the end in Africa. My prayers go fo r a speedy conclusion of the whole sorry mess. Civilization has much to build as mankind licks his wounds for a couple of decades. We'll suffer many more inhibitions before and after it's over, but if this is the war to end international strife, no price is too dear. They may talk about courts of international justice, world police forces and formidable armies and navies for the democracies to sustain peace, but they'll never make it safe for the canary of peace to leave its cage until we start giving about a tenth as much to peace and the church as we toss to the mad dogs of war. Of course this is an African pr ospective, but civilization and political statesmen will have to take a different tack. Sincerely, Lt. Col. Horace F . Wulf Hqs 133 Inf. U . S. Army A.P.O. 34, New York May, TRACK Dual - meets and tri - meets led the cinder-path events this year. At a meeting of the North Central Conference coaches at Minneapolis, Minnesota, it was decided to disband the North Central Conference track meet for the duration. Don Snyder, representative for Morningside at the meeting, ,made a bid for the cinder-path event. Morningside has been hit by service call s although there are a few men returning. The outstanding tracker is the assistant coach, M. 0. Hodges who hails from Baker University, Baldwin, Kansas. Hodges is a four sport letterman who is continuing his academic work here but will return to Baker in May to receive his degree. The assistant coach won a total of twelve letters while competing in football, baseball, basketball, and track. He is rated as all-Kansas Conference back for the last three seasons and in basketball he was an all-conference guard for two seasons. In his freshman year he won four major awards and is the only athlete to do this in the school's history. The Morningside College Maroons held two intra-squad meets consisting of a septathalon and an octathalon. The septahalon, consisting of seven events, was held on April 21 and 22 and was won by Bill Briggs who collected· 2,695 points. He won only one first in the meet which was the high jump. The octathalon, consisting of eight events was won by Bill Meacham. The first dual-meet of the season was held April 16 with Wayne State Teachers at the City Stadium. Wayne defeated the Maroons 78-58. Hodges was the high scorer in the field events tieing first with Bob· ier of Wayne in the pole-vault and the high jump. Hodges won first in the shotput and the discus throw and placed third in the javalin throw. Events in which Morningside won firsts were: 120-yard hurdles, Kingsbury; 880-yard run, Wright; two-mile run, Ehorn; mile relay, Briggs, Hopp, Lohry, and Wright; and the broad jump, Asprey. On May 6, a tri-meet was held at Omaha with Peru, Omaha and Morningside competing. Morningside emerged winner with 66 1/2 points. A return meet with Wayne was held there May 14. The Maroons avenged their earlier defeat by collecting 88 points to 48 for Wayne. Hodges, performing in his usual brilliant style, won individual honors with a total of 30 points. The tracksters who have been awarded their "M" this season are Gene Asprey, Bill Briggs, Bob Ehorn, Marvin Hodges, Bill Lohry, Warren Kingsbury, Bill Meacham and Dale Wright. Two Morningside Maroons placed on the all-conference basketball team this season. Bob Held, '44, now in the armed services, and Bill Briggs, '46, were awarded berths on the North Ceintral Conference roster. Page 9 1943 Zeta Sigma Program Zeta Sigma, honoary scholastic fraternity, extends a cordial invitation to all alumni, trustees, and friends of Morningside to attend the annual address honoring candidates from the graduation class at 4:30 P. M., Monday, May 31. Rev. Myron C. Insko, of the class of '14, will be the speaker. The Student Union Room on third floor of Main Hall will be the scene of the meeting. Alumni member's of Zeta Sigma are urged to attend the initiation of the 1943 candidates in the Student Union Room at 3:15 P. M. The group will recess during the review on Bass Field and reconvene for the address. Victor V. Schuldt President of Zeta Sigma The Old Order Changeth One who has not been on the campus recently cannot visualize the changes that have followed the coming of the Army Air Corps. A new style for men has come to the campus. The casual campus clothes have been displaced by the trim Army uniforms. The carefree sauntering along college walks has yielded to the orderly military march. The small conversation of other days has been drowned in the rhythmic shouting of "hut, two, three, four, U. S. Air Corps" to the cadence of which the soldiers march to and from their classes. The singing of many verses and variations of the Army Air Corps song provides an interesting accompaniment to the marching feet. The public address system has been replaced by Army officers who shout their commands in no uncertain tones. Bass Field is in almost constant use. From morning 'til night some group of soldiers is taking vigorous calisthenics, playing some competitive game, running the obstacle course or undergoing military drill. Saturday afternoons the townsfolk turn out to see the entire group reviewed by the commanding officer. Color is added to this inspiring ceremony by the presence of a large military band. The instruments that have called us to make war upon the "Coyotes" are now used to build morale for the men who will keep our country free. The dining room of the Dorm is a beehive of activity from 5 A. M. 'til 10 P. M., when Taps are sounded. The most evident change is the displacement of the lettuce salad by copious amounts of meat and potatoes. There seems to be a .shortage of the traditional Army bean. The amount of food consumed in one day is a military secret. 'The one unmistakable reminder of the "good old days" is the spirit of warm Morningside cordiality which continues to pervade the atmosphere. This is one tradition that the war cannot change. Missing In Action Mr. and Mrs. Robert C. Sterling, 1814 W. 18th St., Sioux City, have been informed by the Adjutant General that their son, Jay Robert Sterling, ex '42, has been missing since May 1st in the European area.

Madison of Sioux City, is one of the thirty contributors to a Methodist Lenten devotion book, "Power."

Dunn, ex '44, a former baritone in the Conservatory of Music, was highly praised by the press of Dallas, Texas, where he sang recently in a twilight musical concert of the Dallas Federation of Music Clubs. Dale's voice was described as "a lyric baritone of smooth range and individual quality." Our Boys Write Us In a letter to Dr. Stephens, Calmon Levich, ex '44, in commenting on an address by Harry Hopkins reprinted in a recent Reader's Digest, strenuously objects to Mr. Hopkins' statement that everyone over the age of 18 attending an institution of higher learning should be in the .r eserves, the armed forces, or studying an occupation vital to the war effort. Cal says, "Many of us left school to help fight the war, thinking that a democratic educational system would remain at home, not only waiting for us but operating in our absence. We were convinced that unless some of those who stayed behind were privileged to study the workings of civilization there would be nothing awaiting our return. After all, we enlisted to protect the forms of life and education that would assure us that the destiny of our country would be in the hands of men of learning-men in whom the spirit of democracy and tolerance was being imbued by the institution we left. Opinions on education should be confined to educators who are qualified to have them. Mr. Hopkins would leave us a generation of automatons. We could well learn a lesson from the Chinese, who, in spite of years of ravage, have left the more promising of their youth in schools to assure the future of the country in peace time. It would, indeed, be an empty victory that saw those who were intelligent enough to seek learning regimented by Harry Hopkins. * * * Charles Seward, '39, wrote an enthusiastic a cco unt of an impromptu and informal reunion held by a group of former Morningsiders living in and around Evanston, Chicago. Chuck writes, "At the instigation of Willard Cunningham, '41, the group gathered at the Presbyterian Theological Seminary where Bob Caine, '42, and Bob Rae, '41, ably assisted by Bob Rae's wife Joyce, acted as hosts. Those attending from Garrett Biblical Institute were Willard and Mildred Cunningham, '41, Tony and Alice Gedwillo, and brother John, Tony and John being graduates of '42, and your correspondent. From the Ensign school on Navy Pier came Phil Baker, ex '43, who is about to begin two years of technical training at some college the Navy has comandeered for that purpose. The bunch poked its collective nose into the showpieces on the Presbyterian Campus, and afterwards finished off the evening with a lunch and discussion of affairs in general." * * * An interesting letter from John W. Skrable, '34, came to our office some time ago. The letter follows: Dear Editor: The February issue of the Bulletin with its mention of W. W . Waymack, '11, and Edwin Haakinson, '26, plus the recently started and pleasant custom of sending the Collegian Reporter to former editors of the paper have reminded me that I long ago told Dr. Roadman that I would sometime write on former Morningsiders who have joined the ranks of "the funny little men in the battered hats and baggy pants in the pressbox." Waymack's story was covered in the Bulletin and on Capt. Haakinson I can only add that he was city editor of the old Sioux City Tribune for several years before head· ing for Washington and the AP. In school with Haakinson was Marion Leslie Woodward ('25, I think) who started her career on the Des Moines Register and for years was official sobsister on the May, aforementioned old, old Tribune. "Shorty", as far as I know, still is woman's editor of the Pittsburg (Pa.) Sun-Telegraph. After Leslie and Haakinson, came a hiatus in the production of ink-stained wretches until the drought and depression 30's. Then in rapid order came B. C. "Boo" Kindig, '32, who cubbed on the Tribune and, after time on a Des Moines labor paper and other stints, now is with the radio bureau of United Press in New York City; myself, also a cub on the Tribune and on the night sports desk of the Journal before I entered service; Vic Bovee, ex '34, now on the Journal desk, after time in Des Moines, Marshalltown and other spots; Howard Dobson, ex '35, now covering politics for the Associated Press at Albany, N.. Y., after service on Des Moines, Omaha, Lincoln and Sioux City papers. Following the brief epidemic of the early 30's, I know of no other alumni who became leg men or copy readers, except Nancy Mahood, ex '38, also mentioned in the February Bulletin. I've always been sure there was some significance in the Kindig, Bovee, Skrable, Dobson · renaissance of interest in journalism at Morningside but thus far it escapes me. We all were brethren in ATD and all managed to get ourselves into far too many scrapes. Sometimes I've thought that all the interviews we had with authorities caused us to decide we might as well get paid for that kind of work but I suppose the true meaning is much, much deeper than that. Maybe, I'll be able to figure it out after DOW (and six months). In the meantime, among other things, I'm putting out a fortnightly paper at the Coast Guard Base and Training Station, Government Island, Alameda, Calif., (a copy of the sheet is enclosed) which in service jardon makes me a "politician", and I received a lot of experience in politics on the campus, too. But I insist that I'm not a "feather merchant" because I didn't ship in with a rate and still do not have one. J . W. Skrable ('34) Sea 1c 106 New Administration Bldg.

The Morningsider Volume 01, Number 02 was published for the month of May in 1943. The condition of this issue is a bit worse for wear, and has many problems and concerns. First off, there is a crease in the middle of the issue, which indicates that it had been folded in half and then stored that way for a long time. Stemming from this crease, there are rips and tears on most of the pages along the line. There are also three hole punches in the left side of the issue, but these seem to do no harm other than the holes themselves. Some of the pages are ripped completely free of the binding, or are on their way to being free; most of them are torn along the binding and are barely hanging on. There are also several stains throughout the edition, but none of these obscure any text. Overall, this issue has seen better days and its condition is not good, but all the text and pictures are legible and easy to see, so it's not all that horrible.

Its weapons are not those of the armed services, yet, without its help, the efficient operation of our armed forces would not be possible. To relate in brief outline the nature of Morningside College's contribution will give some idea of the magnitude of her war effort. Man-Power. Probably the greatest contribution any college can make to the war effort is through the scores of young men and women who have received their training in the college and are now using it to benefit their country. Mornnigside is no exception. The commander of a gunboat in the Mediterranean, a missing flyer on Bataan, a battalion commander in North Africa-these and scores of others are Morningside men in action. In the airplane factories, the laboratories of chemical warfare, the women's service divisions and hundreds of other positions of service Morningsiders are playing their part. Obstacle-Training. To overcome physical obstacles through strength and endurance is the objective of wartime physical training. The obstacle course on Bass Field is the testing ground for an intensified conditioning program modelled along military lines. Reserve Enlistments. Responding to the government's plea for a reservoir of young men trained in college to become officer candidates, two-thirds of the men students of Morningside have enlisted in the reserves of the Army, Army Air Corps, Navy, and Marines. One hundred sixty-five boys have enlisted or are in the process of enlistment. The College has received repeated expressions of satisfaction from the armed services for its unusual promotion of these reserve enlistments. National Drives. Full cooperation in nation-wide drives to promote the war effort has been given by the College. The most spectacular of these efforts came at Homecoming time when the college faculty and students collected forty-five tons of scrap and paraded it down the streets of Sioux City in a "Scrap the Parade for a Parade of Scrap" home-coming celebration. Information Service. The War Information Center in the College library has collected hundreds of bulletins, books, clippings, and charts dealing with the war and post war problems. Sponsored by the W. P. A. and the College this service is free to the public. Special displays of material have been synchronized with the weekly College Forum radio program, every Wednesday night on K. S. C. J. New Courses. To meet war needs, technical courses in radio and electronics, ordnance and gunnery, aviation, industrial safety, as well as special courses in current international relations, the far east, the world crisis, and the like, have been added to the College curriculum. Ground School and Flight Training. Full-time (Continued on Page 2) New Plan Changes Election Procedures A special committee appointed by the Alumni Executive Committee is at work on plans whereby every Morningsider will participate in the alumni planning. Opportunity will be afforded for nominations at large for the several alumni offices. These nominations will be placed in the hands of the Executive Committee following the alumni meeting at Comfencement. Ballots will be prepared and mailed to each Morningsider in time for the annual election. The newly elected officers will be inaugurated at the annual Homecoming. CHRISTMAS, 1942 Jaunty "Merry Christmas" expressions like many other things are out for the "duration." By contrast, however, prayers and hopes for "Good will among men" are more deeply entrenched than ever in daily experience. Morningside College therefore sends Christmas greetings to her far flung alumni in the name of man's eternal dream for increasing "glory to God and good will among men." New York Notes By Dr. and Mrs. Walton On October 17th the New York Morningsiders had a luncheon at the Woodstock Hotel. Those present were Mr. and Mrs. Ralph Pierce, Rev. and Mrs. Robert Dolliver, Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Ott, Dr. and Mrs. Seaver and their daughter, and the Waltons. Frank Leamer, of the personnel department of Bell Telephone Laboratories, has moved to a new plant established by the Laboratories in New Jersey. Mrs. Eleanor McCurdy is working in the administrative office at Syracuse University. I believe she is assistant to the dean, has charge of the Student Loan Fund and has something to do with chapel arrangements. Her son is a freshman at Syracuse University and her daughter is in high school there. Last Sunday we had a delightful surprise in a visit by Dr. Harry Bigglestone, class of 1914, who is studying dermatology at Postgraduate Hospital in New York. We spent part of the afternoon talking about old Morningside friends. He married Ruth Rieke, also a Morningside graduate. They have three fine children. ---M--- ENROLLMENT TRENDS Anticipating a sharp reduction in enrollment for the fall semester, College officials found their predictions in error when registration time rolled around. Instead of a drop, the enrollment at Morningside took a substantial rise. Two hundred four freshmen, 136 sophomores, 90 juniors, and 51 seniors, for a total of 481 full time students, plus 136 part time college students, brought the total to 617 college students. However, only in the senior class does the number of girls in any class exceed the number of boys. Among the freshmen there are two boys for each girl. With two-thirds of the men in the reserves and a good many others in deferred classification for special war training, the male enrollment promises to remain fairly stable for the current year. What the next year holds, no one knows. But as one contemplates the sharp drops in enrollment in state institutions, running to 25 per cent average loss in teachers colleges, the situation in our liberal arts college is most encouraging. Published monthly from September to June, inclusive, by Morningside College. Entered February 13, 1911, at Sioux City, Iowa, as second class matter under Act of Congress, August 21, 1912. �Page 2 December, 1942 HOMECOMING --- WAR STYLE We wondered if we could have a Homecoming. We tried it and it turned out to be a great occasion. A brief sketch of the events outlining the event will recall it to Alumni who were present and describe it to the others. Homecoming Coronation The coronation took place Friday evening, October 9, at 8 :30 in the College auditorium. When the curtains were drawn, on a beautifully staged throne, Miss Morningside of 1941, Ruth Kingsbury, awaited the coming of Miss Morningside of 1942. The coronation march was played by the Conservatory string quartet. The Homecoming Queen, Miss Mariellen Rifenbark of Sioux City, was escorted to the stage by Sterling Logue, Presid.ent of the M Club. Her attendants, Gwen Downey and Vera Smith, were escorted by M Club members. Miss Kingsbury gave the crown to President Roadman who then placed it on the head of Miss Morningside of 1942. Following the program the annual Homecoming dance was held in the gymnasium. Scrap the Parade for a Parade of Scrap The Homecoming parade on Saturday morning was just that. Borrowed trucks and vehicles of all kinds were loaded down with nearly 50 tons of scrap metal which, after being paraded down town, was deposited at the city scrap heap by the Milwaukee depot. Faculty and students helped gather and there was great competition for biggest loads and most humorous floats . Airplanes from our flying school circled over the city during the parade. Open House for Alumni The social halls at Main Hall and the Dormitory were open for Alumni and friends to visit or rest Saturday afternoon before the final evening events. This seemed a welcome time for relaxation and visiting. The Banquet Was a Barbeque Instead of the customary Alumni banquet at the Dormitory, Alumni and students enjoyed a fine barbeque supper on Bass Field Saturday evening at 6 o'clock. A delightful evening and good food helped to make this informal lunch real fun. It was felt that because fewer Alumni than usual could come a barbeque could be easier planned and managed than a formal dinner. Our judgment was that everyone liked the idea. South Dakota State Again The Homecoming game was an evenly fought battle with the Jackrabbits of South Dakota State. They managed to make one field goal which ended the game with a 3 to 0 score against us. It was a good game to watch and Coach Cassell's squad with so many inexperienced players gave us all a good show. Alumni Reception Immediately after the game the Alumni enjoyed a reception and last visit together at the Dormitory. A short business meeting was conducted. Officers for the year were elected with Parnell Mahoney elected as President. Being on the Campus again this year with war conditions disrupting so much of normal life was a real privilege to all who could come. ---M--- NEW FACULTY War calls are a new factor bringing about several changes in faculty positions this year. Called to the Army in late summer, Glen "Honie" Rogers, has been succeeded in the physical education department by Don Snyder, '39. Mr. Snyder came from a similar position at Baker University and has taken charge of the intra-mural program, in addition to work as assistant coach and physical education instructor. He is assistant to Stafford Cassell, whose appointment as Director of Physical Education and Athletics was announced last spring. Miss Marie Liba, a graduate of Wittenberg College and the American College of Physical Education, is the new instructor in women's physical education. In the conservatory, Leo Kucinski's sudden call to the Army left an important place to fill. Mr. Henri Pensis, a native of Luxemburg, a musician of unusual experience and talent, has been named head of the Violin department. In addition he will direct the Sioux City and Lincoln symphonies and the Monahan Post Band. Miss Mable Fritz, '37, has been named instructor in wind instruments and director of the college band to succeed Everett Timm, who resigned to accept a position at Louisiana State University. Miss Lois Grammer, a graduate of the University of Nebraska and Northwestern University, has been named head of the School Music Department. Miss Dorothy Brown, a graduate of the University of Wisconsin, has been named acting dean of women and social director of the women's residence halls, to succeed Miss Pearson. Miss Brown comes with a fine background of experience in young people's work. Mrs. W. H. Seubert, of Sioux City, has been named part time instructor in English. The courses in secretarial work are being taught this year by Miss Ruth Whitlock, '34, Miss Marie Liba, and Mrs. W. G. Johnson, of Sioux City. Mr. O. B. Kramer of Ida Grove, Iowa, Mr. Lee Scott of Portland, Oregon, and Mr. Glen Bierman of Sioux City have been appointed as instructors in the ground school of the C. P. T. flight training school at Rickenbacker Field. MORNINGSIDE COLLEGE IN THE WAR EFFORT (Continued from Page 1) time Civilian Pilot Training for Army and Navy pilots, sponsored jointly by the College and the Graham Flight Service, now is training 76 pilots. Operated on a regular military basis at the Rickenbacker Field, this center has been rated the finest in this section of the country by the area coordinators. Service to Soldiers and Sailors. Cooperating fully with local U. S. O. officials, the College is helping to entertain and instruct soldiers and sailors on leave and those stationed at the Air Base south of the city. Musical and dramatic productions at the Base, provision of hostesses for U . S. O. functions, participation in church-sponsored activities, and many other services are being rendered. International Planning. What of the postwar world? This question is being given special attention through series of chapel programs, the faculty religious seminar, the International Relations Club, the Cosmopolitan Club, and the course program. These efforts, while not dramatic in nature, are building for a sure basis of international peace after the war. Devotion to the Liberal Tradition. To help preserve the great heritage of independent thought, rigorous study, and self-discipline is one of the College's most important contributions to its country in these times. There is no relaxing of requirements, even though the speed of preparation has been increased. The need for self-discipline as the only sure basis for freedom was never greater and the College was never more sure of its devotion to the fulfillment of this need. Enduring Faith. Morningside is a Christian college. It is building for a world based upon the brotherhood of man and the Fatherhood of God. The religious program of the College has been considerably vitalized by a new "Area-of-emphasis" approach. Each month is devoted to a concerted effort to emphasize a particular area of religious living. Race relations, religion and the war, the war and the family, etc., are areas of emphasis receiving attention. "MORNINGSIDE" thus spells service to our country and to her future. The colleges know that only through victory can their tradition of freedom be preserved, for they would be the first enslaved in a totalitarian world. The colleges also know that freedom can be lost even though the war is won, that selfishness, ignorance, greed, and worldliness can lose the peace. So the College is engaged in a two-front war: One front is on the battlefield, the other front is in the hearts and minds of men. ---M--- He Who Can Bottle Up a Little Sunshine for a Rainy Day Is a Corker ... �December, 1942 Page 3 Dr. M. E. Graber Receives Recognition as Aeronautics Authority National recognition for outstanding work in the field of aeronautics has been accorded to Dr. Myron E. Graber, Dean of Men and head .of the Physics and Engineering Departments at Morningside College. Dr. Graber is one of few men in this part of the country to be listed in Who's Who in Aviation. He has been called in for consultation by nationally known aviation authorities. Dr. Graber first became interested in aviation while he was an instructor in the Mathematics and Physics Departments of the University of Chicago in 1917 and 1918. "Actually, I had nothing to do with the course of aerodynamics which was offered at the University during the first world war," he says, "but I was closely associated with the professor in charge and took a great interest in the problems involved." College Wins Approval That interest has never been allowed to lag. Dr. Graber came to Morningside College in 1919 as instructor of physics and mathematics. Interest in aviation in the late 1920's led to the organization of a class in aeronautics and ground training for prospective pilots. In 1939, officers of the National Aeronautical society conducted a survey of 1,700 schools and colleges, which offered aeronautics as a part of the course of study and Morningside was among the 63 selected for approval. Under Dr. Graber's supervision, Morningside College was among the first in the country to offer the civilian pilot training course. The school was conducted in cooperation with E. L. Graham's flying service. Dr. Graber conducted the ground and pre-flight schools while actual flight training was under the supervision of Graham pilots. Dr. Graber's work has been so outstanding that he is listed in Who's Who in Aviation, a compilation of names of men active in the development of aviation, though not necessarily fliers. Engineers, teachers, designers and laboratory men are listed. He also has been called in for consultation by Kenneth Ebel, chief engineer for the Mairtin Aircraft Corporation, and he accompanied Mr. Ebel on a tour of inspection of the Martin plant at Omaha. New developments in plane design were discussed during the trip. Dr. Graber was born July 5, 1880, at Mount Eaton, Ohio, and was graduated from Heidelberg University in 1901. He was appointed to the teaching staff immediately as professor of physics and mathematics. Mr. Ebel attended one of his classes at Heidelberg. Classes under his supervision at Morningside include radio technology, ordnance, gunnery, navigation and astronomy (particularly as applied to celestial navigation in addition to the usual courses of physics and mathematics. Ground school classes are conducted both at the college and at Rickenbacker airport. Dr. Graber is married, but has no children. He is a member of .the American Mathematical Society, the American Physical Society, the American Association for the Advancement of Science, the Illuminating Society, and the American Professional Men. He lectured at Iowa and Chicago Universities in addition to his other work. - Reprinted from the Sioux City Journal ---M--- BIRTHS 1930 Mr. and Mrs. Ray Lindhart of Humboldt are the parents of a baby daughter born in July.

T. school, Prof. Ira Gwinn is now devoting his full time to his work in the Physics Department and as Administrative Secretary of the College. Two hundred ninety-four pairs of twins, ranging in ages from a few months to 76 years assembled at Morningside College for the recent Midwest Twin Convention sponsored by the Psychology Department. Primary purpose of the convention was to gather data on studies of the social development of twins being conducted by Dr. Earle E. Emme, head of the department. Morningside's religious and social program has recently received wide attention through articles appearing in national publications and written by Dean George E. Hill. "A College Chapel that 'Passes'" appeared in the June number of Christian Education while "Helping College Students Develop Social Sensitivity" appears in the November issue of Educational Outlook. Dr. J. E. Kirkpatrick, head of the Department of Education, is this semester teaching two sections of college Algebra, in addition to his regular Education courses. Heavy enrollments in Mathematics and the combination of sections in Education has made this possible. T. N. McClure, for several years business manager of the College, has relinquished that post for the time being to become Coordinator of the fight training program sponsored jointly by the College and the Graham Flight Service. Mr. McClure's place has been filled by Mr. Roy J. Sweet, field agent of the College. Miss Marcia McNee, Instructor in Education, is this semester devoting a portion of her time to the revision of alumni files. The local chapter of the A. A. U . P. is this year sponsoring a series of faculty luncheon discussions devoted to current war problems as they relate to the college. Under the leadership of Dr. T. C. Stephens, president, and Miss Laura Fischer, secretary, the group have heard discussions led by Dean Hill, Dean Graber, President Roadman, and Librarian Clinton Burris. Morningside is one of the colleges recently selected by the Methodist Church to participate in a study of the social backgrounds of students and alumni. Questionnaires are being distributed by Dr. E. E. Emme. After over twenty years as Registrar, Miss Ethel Murray has this fall relinquished that position and returned to full-time teaching in the History Department. The work of the Registrar's office has been combined with that of the office of the Dean of the College. Thursday and Friday, December 11 and 12 are the dates for the presentation of Paul Osborne's fantasy, "On Borrowed Time". Prof. John Felton's cast has been engaging in intensive work for the past two weeks in preparation. One of the three candidates for the office of President of the Iowa State Teachers Association this fall was Dr. J. E. Kirkpatrick, Professor of Education at the College. While the election finally went to Dean Paul Packer of S. U. I., the substantial and enthusiastic backing given Dr. Kirkpatrick was a fine tribute to his leadership in educational circles throughout the state. Page 4 �December, 1942 PRESIDENT ROADMAN REVIEWS PROGRESS The alumni of Morningside College will be happy to know the facts and figures concerning the College finances. 1. Full one hundred percent faculty payments have been resumed. 2. For the year 1941-1942, the current income exceeded the current expense by slightly over $10,000. 3. $45,000 of indebtedness was retired during the year 1941-1942. 4. A total of $240,000 of indebtedness has been retired over the past six-year period. 5. The present overall indebtedness is approximately $125,000, of which $112,000 is against the dormitory. 6. The program of advance which has as its goal more than a million and a half of added financial strength in the next ten-year period. It anticipates retirement of all indebtedness by June, 1944, which will be the 50th anniversary of the organization of Morningside College. Five years previous the University of the Northwest began the operations which merged into Morningside College in 1894. Every educational institution which enters the post-war period free of debt and with an increasing number of friends is assured of increasing strength, stability, and growth. ---M--- "Where Are The All-Morningsiders?" In the summer of 1939 Dr. and Mrs. Roadman and Miss Dimmitt took a western tour to visit alumni and former students of the college. The term, "All-Morningsiders", to include the entire group of alumni and former students, was an outgrowth of this trip. The term is now used to include any person who has spent at least two semesters here at Morningside College, partly to keep the very real enthusiasm of former students who have heard nothing directly from the campus for years and partly to draw them into closer contact in larger numbers. To do this a concerted effort to learn the addresses was necessary. No one had been able to give very comprehensive attention to the work, however, until the summer of 1942 when Miss Marcia McNee of the college faculty was hired for a month's intensive effort on the project. She is continuing this work in addition to her other work this semester, and is assisted by two student-workers, one the secretary in the Office of Admissions. The work is too incomplete as yet for statistical reports, but an approximate four thousand former students have been added to our files from the permanent record cards. The addresses of graduates were found and corrected to improve the general state of that file. Addresses for perhaps sixty per-cent of the former-student group have been located by means of much local telephoning and use of postal-cards to the last-known address of individuals. The work will continue to be pushed forward. Later some of you will be contacted for possible clues for individuals whom we fail to locate by these foregoing means. We appeal to you to send in the present addresses and other information concerning any former students you discover who are not now receiving our materials. Numbers of the alumni send in changes of address without special requests from us. We do appreciate this help very much. Consistent and persistent effort is necessary to keep alumni files up-to-date, and your help is gratefully received. Mistakes are inevitable, especially when clerical help does not know individuals personally. YOU can help us greatly. Thank you. ---M--- Morningside Athletics FOOTBALL The Maroons were tutored by Staff Cassell, new director of athletics who comes from American University of Washington, D. C. He was assisted by Don Snyder, former Morningside great who coached at Baker University last season, and Bernie Feikema, captain of last year's Maroon eleven. Staff Cassell, director of athletics and head grid mentor, graduated from American University in 1936 and has coached there since. Before coming to American University, Staff attended Dickinson Seminary, of Williamsport, Pennsylvania, where he won 21 letters, a record that is unchallenged today. He also has B. S. and M. S. degrees from Penn State College. A second member of the Maroon coaching staff is Don Snyder, a former Morningside athlete, who coached at Baker University last year. Coach Snyder attended the University of Illinois two years after winning all-conference recognition in basket ball at Morningside in 1937 and 1938. Bernie Feikema ,who was chosen all-conference end in 1940 and 1941 while playing with the Maroons, also assisted with the coaching duties. The Maroons lacked experienced and seasoning. Only six lettermen reported from the team of a year ago. Among the monogram winners returning were: Chuck Dirr, Orin Goodrich, Lowell Buchmiller, and Sterling Logue, all backs, Orlan Ott and Jim Strait in the forward wall. The squad was bolstered however by 30 candidates of no mean ability. In one tilt eight freshmen started in the lineup. The Maroons opened the season in grand style by trouncing Southern Normal 59 to 6 on the new city athletic field. Seven different gridders crossed the goal-line in the onslaught. The following week-end the Morningside eleven ran into much tougher competition at Grand Forks, North Dakota, as they lost their initial North Central loop tilt, 7 to 6, to North Dakota University after outplaying the Nodaks all the way. Gene Asprey scored the Maroon touchdown on a beautiful screen pass thrown by Chuck Obye off the V formation. South Dakota State whipped the Morningsiders 3 to 0 in the next game duplicating the score and play of 1941. Don Healy kicked a field goal for the Rabbits in the final quarter after the Maroons had thrown away two earlier scoring opportuniites. The next week-end the Coyotes of South Dakota took the Cassell-coached team, 26 to 6, at Vermillion in a game much closer than the score indicates. Iowa Teachers, cosharers of the league crown, stopped the Maroon gridders cold the following weekend at Cedar Falls by the same score 26 to 6. Morningside outplayed the Panthers the last half but to no avail. Returning to the home turf once more, the Maroons swamped Omaha University, 49 to 13, in their one league victory. The determined Morningside team scored almost at will against the Indians with several frosh leading the attack. North Dakota State came to Sioux City the following week and barely edged out the spirited Maroons, 13 to 7, in a hard fought game. Morningside closed the season Armistice Day at Sioux Falls against Augustana, that was one of the few unbeaten teams of the nation this year. Previous to the contest the Vikings were unscored upon in conference competition but the Maroons soon erased this record by crossing the goal-line twice in the first half to take a 27 to 13 decision. Proof of the Maroons spirit and strength was shown at the league coaches meeting when the North Central mentors chose three of the Morningside gridmen for the all-loop team. George Urbanis, frosh star, Larry Freeman, sophomore end, and Chuck Obye, junior back, received the high honor. Gene Asprey received honorable mention and lead the Maroon scorers with 36 tallies. The Maroons also outpointed their opponents this year running up one of the best offensive averages of recent years, nearly a 20 point per game average. BASKET BALL Coach Staff Cassell faced a tough assignment to build a basket ball quintet on par with last year's Maroon five which won runner-up honors in the North Central conference. Only three lettermen were on hand when the first hardcourt artists reported. (Continued on page 5) �December, 1942 Page 5 MORNINGSIDE ATHLETICS (Continued from page 4) Leading the group was Bob Held, all-conference forward of last season, and a versatile junior cager. Other monogram winners returning were Loren Clark, sharpshooting junior and Chuck Obye, a junior guard and one of the best athletes at Morningside this year. In addition to the three lettermen were Dusty Rhoades, rugged sophomore guard and Johnny Helm, 6 ft. 4-in. center from Hinton, completing the first Maroon five. Other outstanding candidates include freshmen Bill Briggs from Central and Tommy Green from East. Western Union opened the 17 game schedule of the Morningside quint on the local floor and lost to the high scoring Maroons, 59 to 37. Freshman Bill Briggs led the Morningside attack with 18 counters while Bob Held fired in 13 and played an outstanding floor game. Two days later the Maroons swamped Yankton, 44 to 26 on the Alumni court. Held dumped in 15 points to aid the Maroon cause. In the third game within one week the Morningside team went on a wild second half scoring spree to top the Sioux City Air Base, 57 to 34. Morningside will play 11 North Central tilts this season and have 10 home contests on the slate. ---M--- CLASS NOTES A reply from the invitation to Homecoming came from Dr. J. H. "Hank" Winterringer, Al. '13, which included the following note: "It will not be possible for me to be at the Homecoming, but will be there in my thoughts. Certainly would like to mingle with the old bunch once more. Time and distance make it impossible for the present. Dad has to stay home and fix them up, while the boys are away. One (Jack) is trying to keep them flying in the Air Corps. The other (Bill) is trying to keep the others from flying (Anti-Aircraft). They should make a good team, one providing the interference while the other carries the bombs. Here's hoping they make lots of yardage.

MORNINGSIDE COLLEGE BULLETIN MORNINGSIDER NEWS Vol. XXVI DECEMBER, 1942 No. 2 MORNINGSIDE COLLEGE IN THE WAR EFFORT The College is at war! Its weapons are not those of the armed services, yet, without its help, the efficient operation of our armed forces would not be possible. To relate in brief outline the nature of Morningside College's contribution will give some idea of the magnitude of her war effort. Man-Power. Probably the greatest contribution any college can make to the war effort is through the scores of young men and women who have received their training in the college and are now using it to benefit their country. Mornnigside is no exception. The commander of a gunboat in the Mediterranean, a missing flyer on Bataan, a battalion commander in North Africa-these and scores of others are Morningside men in action. In the airplane factories, the laboratories of chemical warfare, the women's service divisions and hundreds of other positions of service Morningsiders are playing their part. Obstacle-Training. To overcome physical obstacles through strength and endurance is the objective of wartime physical training. The obstacle course on Bass Field is the testing ground for an intensified conditioning program modelled along military lines. Reserve Enlistments. Responding to the government's plea for a reservoir of young men trained in college to become officer candidates, two-thirds of the men students of Morningside have enlisted in the reserves of the Army, Army Air Corps, Navy, and Marines. One hundred sixty-five boys have enlisted or are in the process of enlistment. The College has received repeated expressions of satisfaction from the armed services for its unusual promotion of these reserve enlistments. National Drives. Full cooperation in nation-wide drives to promote the war effort has been given by the College. The most spectacular of these efforts came at Homecoming time when the college faculty and students collected forty-five tons of scrap and paraded it down the streets of Sioux City in a "Scrap the Parade for a Parade of Scrap" home-coming celebration. Information Service. The War Information Center in the College library has collected hundreds of bulletins, books, clippings, and charts dealing with the war and post war problems. Sponsored by the W. P. A. and the College this service is free to the public. Special displays of material have been synchronized with the weekly College Forum radio program, every Wednesday night on K. S. C. J. New Courses. To meet war needs, technical courses in radio and electronics, ordnance and gunnery, aviation, industrial safety, as well as special courses in current international relations, the far east, the world crisis, and the like, have been added to the College curriculum. Ground School and Flight Training. Full-time (Continued on Page 2) New Plan Changes Election Procedures A special committee appointed by the Alumni Executive Committee is at work on plans whereby every Morningsider will participate in the alumni planning. Opportunity will be afforded for nominations at large for the several alumni offices. These nominations will be placed in the hands of the Executive Committee following the alumni meeting at Comfencement. Ballots will be prepared and mailed to each Morningsider in time for the annual election. The newly elected officers will be inaugurated at the annual Homecoming. CHRISTMAS, 1942 Jaunty "Merry Christmas" expressions like many other things are out for the "duration." By contrast, however, prayers and hopes for "Good will among men" are more deeply entrenched than ever in daily experience. Morningside College therefore sends Christmas greetings to her far flung alumni in the name of man's eternal dream for increasing "glory to God and good will among men." New York Notes By Dr. and Mrs. Walton On October 17th the New York Morningsiders had a luncheon at the Woodstock Hotel. Those present were Mr. and Mrs. Ralph Pierce, Rev. and Mrs. Robert Dolliver, Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Ott, Dr. and Mrs. Seaver and their daughter, and the Waltons. Frank Leamer, of the personnel department of Bell Telephone Laboratories, has moved to a new plant established by the Laboratories in New Jersey. Mrs. Eleanor McCurdy is working in the administrative office at Syracuse University. I believe she is assistant to the dean, has charge of the Student Loan Fund and has something to do with chapel arrangements. Her son is a freshman at Syracuse University and her daughter is in high school there. Last Sunday we had a delightful surprise in a visit by Dr. Harry Bigglestone, class of 1914, who is studying dermatology at Postgraduate Hospital in New York. We spent part of the afternoon talking about old Morningside friends. He married Ruth Rieke, also a Morningside graduate. They have three fine children. ---M--- ENROLLMENT TRENDS Anticipating a sharp reduction in enrollment for the fall semester, College officials found their predictions in error when registration time rolled around. Instead of a drop, the enrollment at Morningside took a substantial rise. Two hundred four freshmen, 136 sophomores, 90 juniors, and 51 seniors, for a total of 481 full time students, plus 136 part time college students, brought the total to 617 college students. However, only in the senior class does the number of girls in any class exceed the number of boys. Among the freshmen there are two boys for each girl. With two-thirds of the men in the reserves and a good many others in deferred classification for special war training, the male enrollment promises to remain fairly stable for the current year. What the next year holds, no one knows. But as one contemplates the sharp drops in enrollment in state institutions, running to 25 per cent average loss in teachers colleges, the situation in our liberal arts college is most encouraging. Published monthly from September to June, inclusive, by Morningside College. Entered February 13, 1911, at Sioux City, Iowa, as second class matter under Act of Congress, August 21, 1912. Page 2 December, 1942 HOMECOMING --- WAR STYLE We wondered if we could have a Homecoming. We tried it and it turned out to be a great occasion. A brief sketch of the events outlining the event will recall it to Alumni who were present and describe it to the others. Homecoming Coronation The coronation took place Friday evening, October 9, at 8 :30 in the College auditorium. When the curtains were drawn, on a beautifully staged throne, Miss Morningside of 1941, Ruth Kingsbury, awaited the coming of Miss Morningside of 1942. The coronation march was played by the Conservatory string quartet. The Homecoming Queen, Miss Mariellen Rifenbark of Sioux City, was escorted to the stage by Sterling Logue, Presid.ent of the M Club. Her attendants, Gwen Downey and Vera Smith, were escorted by M Club members. Miss Kingsbury gave the crown to President Roadman who then placed it on the head of Miss Morningside of 1942. Following the program the annual Homecoming dance was held in the gymnasium. Scrap the Parade for a Parade of Scrap The Homecoming parade on Saturday morning was just that. Borrowed trucks and vehicles of all kinds were loaded down with nearly 50 tons of scrap metal which, after being paraded down town, was deposited at the city scrap heap by the Milwaukee depot. Faculty and students helped gather and there was great competition for biggest loads and most humorous floats . Airplanes from our flying school circled over the city during the parade. Open House for Alumni The social halls at Main Hall and the Dormitory were open for Alumni and friends to visit or rest Saturday afternoon before the final evening events. This seemed a welcome time for relaxation and visiting. The Banquet Was a Barbeque Instead of the customary Alumni banquet at the Dormitory, Alumni and students enjoyed a fine barbeque supper on Bass Field Saturday evening at 6 o'clock. A delightful evening and good food helped to make this informal lunch real fun. It was felt that because fewer Alumni than usual could come a barbeque could be easier planned and managed than a formal dinner. Our judgment was that everyone liked the idea. South Dakota State Again The Homecoming game was an evenly fought battle with the Jackrabbits of South Dakota State. They managed to make one field goal which ended the game with a 3 to 0 score against us. It was a good game to watch and Coach Cassell's squad with so many inexperienced players gave us all a good show. Alumni Reception Immediately after the game the Alumni enjoyed a reception and last visit together at the Dormitory. A short business meeting was conducted. Officers for the year were elected with Parnell Mahoney elected as President. Being on the Campus again this year with war conditions disrupting so much of normal life was a real privilege to all who could come. ---M--- NEW FACULTY War calls are a new factor bringing about several changes in faculty positions this year. Called to the Army in late summer, Glen "Honie" Rogers, has been succeeded in the physical education department by Don Snyder, '39. Mr. Snyder came from a similar position at Baker University and has taken charge of the intra-mural program, in addition to work as assistant coach and physical education instructor. He is assistant to Stafford Cassell, whose appointment as Director of Physical Education and Athletics was announced last spring. Miss Marie Liba, a graduate of Wittenberg College and the American College of Physical Education, is the new instructor in women's physical education. In the conservatory, Leo Kucinski's sudden call to the Army left an important place to fill. Mr. Henri Pensis, a native of Luxemburg, a musician of unusual experience and talent, has been named head of the Violin department. In addition he will direct the Sioux City and Lincoln symphonies and the Monahan Post Band. Miss Mable Fritz, '37, has been named instructor in wind instruments and director of the college band to succeed Everett Timm, who resigned to accept a position at Louisiana State University. Miss Lois Grammer, a graduate of the University of Nebraska and Northwestern University, has been named head of the School Music Department. Miss Dorothy Brown, a graduate of the University of Wisconsin, has been named acting dean of women and social director of the women's residence halls, to succeed Miss Pearson. Miss Brown comes with a fine background of experience in young people's work. Mrs. W. H. Seubert, of Sioux City, has been named part time instructor in English. The courses in secretarial work are being taught this year by Miss Ruth Whitlock, '34, Miss Marie Liba, and Mrs. W. G. Johnson, of Sioux City. Mr. O. B. Kramer of Ida Grove, Iowa, Mr. Lee Scott of Portland, Oregon, and Mr. Glen Bierman of Sioux City have been appointed as instructors in the ground school of the C. P. T. flight training school at Rickenbacker Field. MORNINGSIDE COLLEGE IN THE WAR EFFORT (Continued from Page 1) time Civilian Pilot Training for Army and Navy pilots, sponsored jointly by the College and the Graham Flight Service, now is training 76 pilots. Operated on a regular military basis at the Rickenbacker Field, this center has been rated the finest in this section of the country by the area coordinators. Service to Soldiers and Sailors. Cooperating fully with local U. S. O. officials, the College is helping to entertain and instruct soldiers and sailors on leave and those stationed at the Air Base south of the city. Musical and dramatic productions at the Base, provision of hostesses for U . S. O. functions, participation in church-sponsored activities, and many other services are being rendered. International Planning. What of the postwar world? This question is being given special attention through series of chapel programs, the faculty religious seminar, the International Relations Club, the Cosmopolitan Club, and the course program. These efforts, while not dramatic in nature, are building for a sure basis of international peace after the war. Devotion to the Liberal Tradition. To help preserve the great heritage of independent thought, rigorous study, and self-discipline is one of the College's most important contributions to its country in these times. There is no relaxing of requirements, even though the speed of preparation has been increased. The need for self-discipline as the only sure basis for freedom was never greater and the College was never more sure of its devotion to the fulfillment of this need. Enduring Faith. Morningside is a Christian college. It is building for a world based upon the brotherhood of man and the Fatherhood of God. The religious program of the College has been considerably vitalized by a new "Area-of-emphasis" approach. Each month is devoted to a concerted effort to emphasize a particular area of religious living. Race relations, religion and the war, the war and the family, etc., are areas of emphasis receiving attention. "MORNINGSIDE" thus spells service to our country and to her future. The colleges know that only through victory can their tradition of freedom be preserved, for they would be the first enslaved in a totalitarian world. The colleges also know that freedom can be lost even though the war is won, that selfishness, ignorance, greed, and worldliness can lose the peace. So the College is engaged in a two-front war: One front is on the battlefield, the other front is in the hearts and minds of men. ---M--- He Who Can Bottle Up a Little Sunshine for a Rainy Day Is a Corker ... December, 1942 Page 3 Dr. M. E. Graber Receives Recognition as Aeronautics Authority National recognition for outstanding work in the field of aeronautics has been accorded to Dr. Myron E. Graber, Dean of Men and head .of the Physics and Engineering Departments at Morningside College. Dr. Graber is one of few men in this part of the country to be listed in Who's Who in Aviation. He has been called in for consultation by nationally known aviation authorities. Dr. Graber first became interested in aviation while he was an instructor in the Mathematics and Physics Departments of the University of Chicago in 1917 and 1918. "Actually, I had nothing to do with the course of aerodynamics which was offered at the University during the first world war," he says, "but I was closely associated with the professor in charge and took a great interest in the problems involved." College Wins Approval That interest has never been allowed to lag. Dr. Graber came to Morningside College in 1919 as instructor of physics and mathematics. Interest in aviation in the late 1920's led to the organization of a class in aeronautics and ground training for prospective pilots. In 1939, officers of the National Aeronautical society conducted a survey of 1,700 schools and colleges, which offered aeronautics as a part of the course of study and Morningside was among the 63 selected for approval. Under Dr. Graber's supervision, Morningside College was among the first in the country to offer the civilian pilot training course. The school was conducted in cooperation with E. L. Graham's flying service. Dr. Graber conducted the ground and pre-flight schools while actual flight training was under the supervision of Graham pilots. Dr. Graber's work has been so outstanding that he is listed in Who's Who in Aviation, a compilation of names of men active in the development of aviation, though not necessarily fliers. Engineers, teachers, designers and laboratory men are listed. He also has been called in for consultation by Kenneth Ebel, chief engineer for the Mairtin Aircraft Corporation, and he accompanied Mr. Ebel on a tour of inspection of the Martin plant at Omaha. New developments in plane design were discussed during the trip. Dr. Graber was born July 5, 1880, at Mount Eaton, Ohio, and was graduated from Heidelberg University in 1901. He was appointed to the teaching staff immediately as professor of physics and mathematics. Mr. Ebel attended one of his classes at Heidelberg.

T. school, Prof. Ira Gwinn is now devoting his full time to his work in the Physics Department and as Administrative Secretary of the College. Two hundred ninety-four pairs of twins, ranging in ages from a few months to 76 years assembled at Morningside College for the recent Midwest Twin Convention sponsored by the Psychology Department. Primary purpose of the convention was to gather data on studies of the social development of twins being conducted by Dr. Earle E. Emme, head of the department. Morningside's religious and social program has recently received wide attention through articles appearing in national publications and written by Dean George E. Hill. "A College Chapel that 'Passes'" appeared in the June number of Christian Education while "Helping College Students Develop Social Sensitivity" appears in the November issue of Educational Outlook. Dr. J. E. Kirkpatrick, head of the Department of Education, is this semester teaching two sections of college Algebra, in addition to his regular Education courses. Heavy enrollments in Mathematics and the combination of sections in Education has made this possible. T. N. McClure, for several years business manager of the College, has relinquished that post for the time being to become Coordinator of the fight training program sponsored jointly by the College and the Graham Flight Service. Mr. McClure's place has been filled by Mr. Roy J. Sweet, field agent of the College. Miss Marcia McNee, Instructor in Education, is this semester devoting a portion of her time to the revision of alumni files. The local chapter of the A. A. U . P. is this year sponsoring a series of faculty luncheon discussions devoted to current war problems as they relate to the college. Under the leadership of Dr. T. C. Stephens, president, and Miss Laura Fischer, secretary, the group have heard discussions led by Dean Hill, Dean Graber, President Roadman, and Librarian Clinton Burris. Morningside is one of the colleges recently selected by the Methodist Church to participate in a study of the social backgrounds of students and alumni. Questionnaires are being distributed by Dr. E. E. Emme. After over twenty years as Registrar, Miss Ethel Murray has this fall relinquished that position and returned to full-time teaching in the History Department. The work of the Registrar's office has been combined with that of the office of the Dean of the College. Thursday and Friday, December 11 and 12 are the dates for the presentation of Paul Osborne's fantasy, "On Borrowed Time". Prof. John Felton's cast has been engaging in intensive work for the past two weeks in preparation. One of the three candidates for the office of President of the Iowa State Teachers Association this fall was Dr. J. E. Kirkpatrick, Professor of Education at the College. While the election finally went to Dean Paul Packer of S. U. I., the substantial and enthusiastic backing given Dr. Kirkpatrick was a fine tribute to his leadership in educational circles throughout the state. Page 4 December, 1942 PRESIDENT ROADMAN REVIEWS PROGRESS The alumni of Morningside College will be happy to know the facts and figures concerning the College finances. 1. Full one hundred percent faculty payments have been resumed. 2. For the year 1941-1942, the current income exceeded the current expense by slightly over $10,000. 3. $45,000 of indebtedness was retired during the year 1941-1942. 4. A total of $240,000 of indebtedness has been retired over the past six-year period. 5. The present overall indebtedness is approximately $125,000, of which $112,000 is against the dormitory. 6. The program of advance which has as its goal more than a million and a half of added financial strength in the next ten-year period. It anticipates retirement of all indebtedness by June, 1944, which will be the 50th anniversary of the organization of Morningside College. Five years previous the University of the Northwest began the operations which merged into Morningside College in 1894. Every educational institution which enters the post-war period free of debt and with an increasing number of friends is assured of increasing strength, stability, and growth. ---M--- "Where Are The All-Morningsiders?" In the summer of 1939 Dr. and Mrs. Roadman and Miss Dimmitt took a western tour to visit alumni and former students of the college. The term, "All-Morningsiders", to include the entire group of alumni and former students, was an outgrowth of this trip. The term is now used to include any person who has spent at least two semesters here at Morningside College, partly to keep the very real enthusiasm of former students who have heard nothing directly from the campus for years and partly to draw them into closer contact in larger numbers. To do this a concerted effort to learn the addresses was necessary. No one had been able to give very comprehensive attention to the work, however, until the summer of 1942 when Miss Marcia McNee of the college faculty was hired for a month's intensive effort on the project. She is continuing this work in addition to her other work this semester, and is assisted by two student-workers, one the secretary in the Office of Admissions. The work is too incomplete as yet for statistical reports, but an approximate four thousand former students have been added to our files from the permanent record cards. The addresses of graduates were found and corrected to improve the general state of that file. Addresses for perhaps sixty per-cent of the former-student group have been located by means of much local telephoning and use of postal-cards to the last-known address of individuals. The work will continue to be pushed forward. Later some of you will be contacted for possible clues for individuals whom we fail to locate by these foregoing means. We appeal to you to send in the present addresses and other information concerning any former students you discover who are not now receiving our materials. Numbers of the alumni send in changes of address without special requests from us. We do appreciate this help very much. Consistent and persistent effort is necessary to keep alumni files up-to-date, and your help is gratefully received. Mistakes are inevitable, especially when clerical help does not know individuals personally. YOU can help us greatly. Thank you. ---M--- Morningside Athletics FOOTBALL The Maroons were tutored by Staff Cassell, new director of athletics who comes from American University of Washington, D. C. He was assisted by Don Snyder, former Morningside great who coached at Baker University last season, and Bernie Feikema, captain of last year's Maroon eleven. Staff Cassell, director of athletics and head grid mentor, graduated from American University in 1936 and has coached there since. Before coming to American University, Staff attended Dickinson Seminary, of Williamsport, Pennsylvania, where he won 21 letters, a record that is unchallenged today. He also has B. S. and M. S. degrees from Penn State College. A second member of the Maroon coaching staff is Don Snyder, a former Morningside athlete, who coached at Baker University last year. Coach Snyder attended the University of Illinois two years after winning all-conference recognition in basket ball at Morningside in 1937 and 1938. Bernie Feikema ,who was chosen all-conference end in 1940 and 1941 while playing with the Maroons, also assisted with the coaching duties. The Maroons lacked experienced and seasoning. Only six lettermen reported from the team of a year ago. Among the monogram winners returning were: Chuck Dirr, Orin Goodrich, Lowell Buchmiller, and Sterling Logue, all backs, Orlan Ott and Jim Strait in the forward wall. The squad was bolstered however by 30 candidates of no mean ability. In one tilt eight freshmen started in the lineup. The Maroons opened the season in grand style by trouncing Southern Normal 59 to 6 on the new city athletic field. Seven different gridders crossed the goal-line in the onslaught. The following week-end the Morningside eleven ran into much tougher competition at Grand Forks, North Dakota, as they lost their initial North Central loop tilt, 7 to 6, to North Dakota University after outplaying the Nodaks all the way. Gene Asprey scored the Maroon touchdown on a beautiful screen pass thrown by Chuck Obye off the V formation. South Dakota State whipped the Morningsiders 3 to 0 in the next game duplicating the score and play of 1941. Don Healy kicked a field goal for the Rabbits in the final quarter after the Maroons had thrown away two earlier scoring opportuniites. The next week-end the Coyotes of South Dakota took the Cassell-coached team, 26 to 6, at Vermillion in a game much closer than the score indicates. Iowa Teachers, cosharers of the league crown, stopped the Maroon gridders cold the following weekend at Cedar Falls by the same score 26 to 6. Morningside outplayed the Panthers the last half but to no avail. Returning to the home turf once more, the Maroons swamped Omaha University, 49 to 13, in their one league victory. The determined Morningside team scored almost at will against the Indians with several frosh leading the attack. North Dakota State came to Sioux City the following week and barely edged out the spirited Maroons, 13 to 7, in a hard fought game. Morningside closed the season Armistice Day at Sioux Falls against Augustana, that was one of the few unbeaten teams of the nation this year. Previous to the contest the Vikings were unscored upon in conference competition but the Maroons soon erased this record by crossing the goal-line twice in the first half to take a 27 to 13 decision. Proof of the Maroons spirit and strength was shown at the league coaches meeting when the North Central mentors chose three of the Morningside gridmen for the all-loop team. George Urbanis, frosh star, Larry Freeman, sophomore end, and Chuck Obye, junior back, received the high honor. Gene Asprey received honorable mention and lead the Maroon scorers with 36 tallies. The Maroons also outpointed their opponents this year running up one of the best offensive averages of recent years, nearly a 20 point per game average. BASKET BALL Coach Staff Cassell faced a tough assignment to build a basket ball quintet on par with last year's Maroon five which won runner-up honors in the North Central conference. Only three lettermen were on hand when the first hardcourt artists reported. (Continued on page 5) December, 1942 Page 5 MORNINGSIDE ATHLETICS (Continued from page 4) Leading the group was Bob Held, all-conference forward of last season, and a versatile junior cager. Other monogram winners returning were Loren Clark, sharpshooting junior and Chuck Obye, a junior guard and one of the best athletes at Morningside this year. In addition to the three lettermen were Dusty Rhoades, rugged sophomore guard and Johnny Helm, 6 ft. 4-in. center from Hinton, completing the first Maroon five. Other outstanding candidates include freshmen Bill Briggs from Central and Tommy Green from East. Western Union opened the 17 game schedule of the Morningside quint on the local floor and lost to the high scoring Maroons, 59 to 37. Freshman Bill Briggs led the Morningside attack with 18 counters while Bob Held fired in 13 and played an outstanding floor game. Two days later the Maroons swamped Yankton, 44 to 26 on the Alumni court. Held dumped in 15 points to aid the Maroon cause. In the third game within one week the Morningside team went on a wild second half scoring spree to top the Sioux City Air Base, 57 to 34. Morningside will play 11 North Central tilts this season and have 10 home contests on the slate. ---M--- CLASS NOTES A reply from the invitation to Homecoming came from Dr. J. H. "Hank" Winterringer, Al. '13, which included the following note: "It will not be possible for me to be at the Homecoming, but will be there in my thoughts. Certainly would like to mingle with the old bunch once more. Time and distance make it impossible for the present. Dad has to stay home and fix them up, while the boys are away. One (Jack) is trying to keep them flying in the Air Corps. The other (Bill) is trying to keep the others from flying (Anti-Aircraft). They should make a good team, one providing the interference while the other carries the bombs. Here's hoping they make lots of yardage.

The Morningside College Bulletin Volume 26, Number 02 was published for the month of December, 1942. This particular copy shows some minor production defects that have lead to some edge wear. The large 18 x 12 sheets that make up each bifolio were folded imperfectly, and so each individual leaf is slightly missized. The protruding 1/8th to 1/16th inch on the relevant side of each leaf have become somewhat crumpled and torn. Additionally, some past owner has inked in some suggested grammar corrections where the publication editors may have fallen short. Table Of Contents A list of subunits of the resource.

Cassell, comes from a most successful term as direct or of athletics at American University of Washington, D. C. Born in the mining region of Pennsylvania, Cassell, like a good many Pennsylvanians of note, worked as a breaker boy in the coal mines. He advanced from the lowly job to the position of coal inspector. He attended the Williamsport-Dickinson Seminary, received his bachelors degree from American University and his M.A. degree from Pennsylvania State College. As an undergraduate he won outstanding recognition in athletics, receiving the Menke Award as the student athletic of most value to his college. From graduation in 1936, until 1940, he was assistant coach at American University and was then made head coach. Mr. and Mrs. Cassell expect to arrive in Sioux City on May 15th. Since he will be here at Commencement time many alumni who return will have the opportunity of meeting Mr. Cassell at that time. Commencement Program---1942 Wednesday, May 20 8:00 P.

Virginia Thomas, President of Zeta Sigma ---M--- REPORT REVEALS COLLEGE PROGRESS What do faculty members do with their spare time? How many students have joined the armed services? What will the enrollment probably be next year ? These and other questions of interest to friends (Continued on Page 2) Published monthly from September to June inclusive by Morningside College. Entered February 13, 1911, at Sioux City, Iowa, as second class matter under Act of Congress, August 21, 1912. �May, 1942 Page 2 REPORT REVEALS COLLEGE PROGRESS (Continued from Page 1) of the College are discussed in the annual Educational Report presented to the Board of Trustees at their spring meeting May 5. This report, prepared by the Dean of the College with the help of various staff members is the annual summing-up of progress in the educational program of the College. Professors talk a lot-to the extent of 357 speeches off the campus during the past academic year. Also they are leaders in many organizations, holding offices and positions of leader ship in fifty-eight civic, professional, and religious organizations, some of them national in scope. The productive scholarship of the faculty is also evidenced by the twelve articles which they published this year in scholarly journals and by the three bulletins they wrote. One member of the staff has achieved wide recognition for her excellent illustrations for scientific books. Members of the faculty also completed or instituted sixteen studies of various problems connected with the work of the College during this year. Curriculum changes this year have already been reported from time to time. Most of these changes arise from war conditions. The extended summer session, the defense courses sponsored by the Physics department, the numerous war-time assemblies, the work of the Office of War Information-all are evidences of the determined war effort of the College. Enrollment next year will no doubt drop. How much, is hard to estimate. We plan on a freshman class as large as in the past, at least 200 students. The number of men in the upper classes will probably take a sharp drop. All in all, we estimate a 13 per cent drop in enrollment. Incidentally, concerted help from the alumni would help reduce that percentage a lot! Student guidance, religious life, student activities, assembly and chapel programs, library progress, educational news service, the educational aspects of the councelors program- you will really have to read the whole report to get the facts on these additional sections of this annual report. Copies are being sent to all the Board of Trustees members, the Counselors and the faculty. A limited number will be available to interested alumni. But the next time some tired looking college professor tells you he teaches " only" sixteen hours a week , don't forget the 357 speeches !! MORNINGSIDE MEN AND THE WAR EFFORT To get an over-all picture of the status of the men students of the College, a questionnaire was recently distributed and filled out by 212 of the men. The results are of interest, not only because they represent Morningside men, but also because they are probably quite typical of the status of college youth generally. Classified in Selective Service - Freshmen, Sophomores, Juniors, Seniors, All lA ------------------------------------- -- -- 2 3 5 lB ------------------------------------- -- 1 -- 1 2 2A ------------------------------------ -- -- 1 2 3 2B ------------------------------------ -- 1 -- 1 2 3 -------------------------------------- -- -- 1 1 2 4 -------------------------------------- 1 2 3 4 10 Uncertain ------------------------------ -- -- -- 1 1 Registered, questionnaire filled, not classified - -- 3 4 7 14 Registered, no questionnaire ----------------- 8 10 10 8 36 Enlisted and on deferred status-Navy V-7, Officers -- -- 1 4 5 Marine Officers --------------------------- -- 7 -- 1 8 Army Air Corps --------------------------- 2 2 -- -- 4 Not yet of draft age ------------------------- 78 35 6 1 120 Total ------------------------------------- 89 61 28 34 212 Of the men not yet of draft age 60 % will not reach twenty until the end of the next school year. The most striking fact here, is the small number of men below present senior classification who are now of draft age. Assuming the government will continue to urge college men to remain in school until called, there are really few men who should not continue school next year. Those faced with possible draft by next winter should certainly take advantage of the expanded summer session. The Office of War Information has been keeping the men well informed of all available military services, including the new Army Air Corps deferred class. THE ALUMNUS AND THE SCHOOL GRADUATE The College alumnus does as much as anyone to send students to his college or to drive them away. Time after time reports come of high school graduates going to colleges, including Morningside, because of what an alumnus said or did at the right time. Your college is judged by you. Morningside will need your help in securing new students more than ever right now. You can be the deciding factor for some fine boy or girl to come here this fall. Let Victor Schuldt, Director of Admissions, know about this boy or girl. You will find a greater satisfaction in accomplishing this than you dreamed you would for it will be helping to build Morningside and will also be sending some young friend to the College to which you owe so much. Let 's make it a slogan: "Each alumnus finds a new student." V. V. SCHULDT, Director of Admissions Date._______________ Dear Mr. Schuldt: I am recommending Morningside College to Name___________ Address____________ Interests ___________________________ and will be happy to assist in completing plans for his enrollment at Morningside. Name____________________ Address___________________ �May, 1942 Page 3 CAMPUS CLEAN UP The third annual Campus Clean-Up Day of the College was held Thursday, April 30 with a large percentage of the college students and faculty participating in the event. The 8:00 o'clock classes were held from 8:00 to 8:30 at which time all students assembled in the college assembly hall for instructions regarding campus clean-up activities. Ten student leaders were chosen, each selecting a group of ten or fifteen other students to be members of his group. Each group was assigned special duties on the campus during the day. Between forty and fifty trees were planted on the campus during the day including some replanting of trees that had died during the winter. Many additional bushes and shrub plants were also planted. The general plan is that after some of the trees which are now being planted attain some size; a number of the older trees which were badly damaged by the 1936 drought will be cut down. It is planned to continue this event each year, that soon the campus will be a beauty spot of the city. The planting of oak trees around the "spoon holder", the gift of the class of 1903, which was made several years ago and largely killed by the drought, has been replaced under the leadership of Ray Toothacher, a member of that class. ---M--- SUMMER COLLEGE PLANS BEING MADE Following the pattern instituted during the summer of 1941, plans are under way for another "Summer College" rather than just a "summer session" to be held on the campus during the summer of 1942. In the past many summer sessions have been considered as simply opportunities for study. The absence of the distracting influence of the social and extra-curricular activities, which frequently provides such serious competition during the regular school year, has in many cases resulted in a higher level of scholarship during the summer. However, there is much that can be gained which is worthwhile, in terms of personal development, loyalty and friendships, from the out-of-the classroom activities of the college, whether it is in session during the winter or during the summer. Because some summer students are never in attendance during the regular year, it was considered desirable to give them a chance to participate in some extra -class activities in addition to their classroom work so that they might feel t hat they are not just "going to school", but that they are actually Morningsiders. A number of new features were inaugurated in the 1941 summer college. Weekly convocations were held in the auditorium. Movies, addresses, and musical programs were among the offerings. Attendance was voluntary. Once a week a special afternoon feature was held. Three tours were made of the most interesting environmental attractions of Sioux City, including the social agencies, the recreational facilities and some of the industrial concerns. One week a swimming party was held. The traditional summer picnics were held, one each term, followed by soft ball games and other informal social activities. Three student organizations, the "Third-Termites", t he "A.G's", and the "Twenty and Two" (you figure out what the titles mean), were formed. A summer council consisting of representatives of the three organizations was organized and gave valuable assistance in planning the activities of the summer to meet the students' interest and needs. One of the projects of the summer council was the introduction of the "Summer School Scoop", a weekly mimeographed newspaper. Included in the first issue of each term was a directory of the summer students. A start was made in the direction of competition between groups in tennis, golf, softball and other sports. All of these activities helped in making the summer more enjoyable and profitable as well. The 1942 summer college will present an even more extensive program of activities. The editor of the Scoop has already been appointed and is making her plans. Some of the members of the council will be back and will be more ready to accept leadership in suggesting and promoting interesting activities. The curricular offering s have also been expanded to meet the present situation. The length of the session has been increased to twelve weeks to make an accelerated program possible for students who wish to complete their work in three year s, and be ready for military or other service a year earlier. New courses in line with present day world affairs include "Hist or y of the Far East", "Geography of Latin America", Ordinance and Gunnery", and "Aviation." To meet the needs of teachers needing to meet certificate renewal or reinstatement requirements, "refresher" courses, as well as the usual professional and academic courses, will be given. The offerings are designed to meet the needs of many different groups. If you know of someone who would profit from attendance at "Summer College" won't you suggest to him that he consider Morningside. (Perhaps the suggest ion might apply t o you yourself also.) We are certain that the 1942 Summer College at Morningside deserves your consideration and recommendation. Power Jive Nets Bond The Student Body and Faculty of Morningside College participated in a most outstanding all college event when the Power Jive was held in the gym on Friday, May 1st. Ticket sale proceeds were used to buy a war savings bond and enough was realized to purchase a $100 bond for the Student Council. A varied program was given throughout the evening with dancing, musical numbers, solo dances, card games and a refreshment bar. The gym was colorfully decorated in red, white and blue streamers with a large flag displayed waving in the breeze. There were four organizations on the campus who reported a 100 % ticket sale: Pre-Engineers, Alpha Sigma, Kappa Zeta Chi and Kappa Pi Alpha. ---M--- Conference Leader Dies Dr. O. M. Bond, former superintendent of the Sioux City District of the Northwest Iowa Conference of the Methodist Church from 1931 to 1938 when he retired, died on Thursday, April 30. The funeral was held on Saturday, May 1st, at the Grace Methodist Church in Sioux City. He attended Morningside College in 1893 and received an honorary degree from the institution in 1924. Rev. Bond was a member of the Board of Trustees of the college for many years and held a similar post with the Methodist Hospital since its beginning. He is survived by Mrs. Bond, three daughters, Mrs. J. J. McNally of Sibley, Iowa (Zelda '22), Mrs. F . D. Woodruff of El Paso, Texas, (Ruth '23), and Mrs. A. W. Vanderwilt of Milford (Helen '32), and one grandson, Robert Bond Vanderwilt of Milford. ---M--- Reistrup Compositions to Be Published Soon Prof. James Reistroup of the Piano Department at the Conservatory has composed a Fairy Tale Suite which is now on the press and will be published in the near future. This Fairy Tale is a very colorful translation into tone of the Hans Christian Andersen story, "The Adventures of Tommelise". Each piece is excellent for teaching purposes as well as for concert programs. 'The Suite consists of seven parts, six of which are ready for the press. . It has been suggested by the publisher that the field mouse and the mole parts are suitable for pantomime in the movies. The Suite has been named "The Tommelise". Page 4 �May, 1942 MORNINGSIDE TEACHERS IN DEMAND The Morningside Teacher Placement Committee reports a rushing season. Vacancies are being reported at an unprecedented rate. Previous to May 1, 406 vacancies had been reported. A comparison of this number with the total number of vacancies reported during previous seasons gives objective evidence not only of the possible shortage of teachers this year, but also, of the increasing demand for Morningside trained teachers and confidence in the recommendations of the Morningside Teacher Placement Committee. In 1936 the total number of vacancies reported throughout the entire season was only 236. Previous to 1941 there had never been as many as 500 vacancies reported in any single year. Last year the total number was 652 and in that year less than 400 were reported previous to July first. Actual placements are keeping pace with vacancies. At this date, May 12, eighteen have accepted contracts. As usual the conservatory graduates have been picked up first. Seven of the. ten future music teachers have been placed. The war (and Cupid) has made great inroads in the ranks of those available for teaching positions next year. Last September it appeared that there would be 59 of our students ready for teaching positions. Up to the present time fifteen have been withdrawn from this list on account of military service, marriage plans or other reasons. In order to meet the threatened shortage of teachers and at the same time maintain what standards we have been able to establish, the state department of public instruction has been urging former certificated teachers to consider returning to teaching positions if their situations would permit. If you are one of these former teachers who has recently quit the teaching profession on account of marriage or any other reason, and now find yourself in a position to accept a teaching assignment, you should consider the possibility of renewing or re-instating your certificate and registering as an available teacher. Refresher courses are offered in the summer college and the Teacher Placement Committee will be glad to assist you in your search for a position. ---M--- Margaret Dolliver Is In Iceland Through Garrett B.

Virginia Thomas, President of Zeta Sigma ---M--- REPORT REVEALS COLLEGE PROGRESS What do faculty members do with their spare time? How many students have joined the armed services? What will the enrollment probably be next year ? These and other questions of interest to friends (Continued on Page 2) Published monthly from September to June inclusive by Morningside College. Entered February 13, 1911, at Sioux City, Iowa, as second class matter under Act of Congress, August 21, 1912. May, 1942 Page 2 REPORT REVEALS COLLEGE PROGRESS (Continued from Page 1) of the College are discussed in the annual Educational Report presented to the Board of Trustees at their spring meeting May 5. This report, prepared by the Dean of the College with the help of various staff members is the annual summing-up of progress in the educational program of the College. Professors talk a lot-to the extent of 357 speeches off the campus during the past academic year. Also they are leaders in many organizations, holding offices and positions of leader ship in fifty-eight civic, professional, and religious organizations, some of them national in scope. The productive scholarship of the faculty is also evidenced by the twelve articles which they published this year in scholarly journals and by the three bulletins they wrote. One member of the staff has achieved wide recognition for her excellent illustrations for scientific books. Members of the faculty also completed or instituted sixteen studies of various problems connected with the work of the College during this year. Curriculum changes this year have already been reported from time to time. Most of these changes arise from war conditions. The extended summer session, the defense courses sponsored by the Physics department, the numerous war-time assemblies, the work of the Office of War Information-all are evidences of the determined war effort of the College. Enrollment next year will no doubt drop. How much, is hard to estimate. We plan on a freshman class as large as in the past, at least 200 students. The number of men in the upper classes will probably take a sharp drop. All in all, we estimate a 13 per cent drop in enrollment. Incidentally, concerted help from the alumni would help reduce that percentage a lot! Student guidance, religious life, student activities, assembly and chapel programs, library progress, educational news service, the educational aspects of the councelors program- you will really have to read the whole report to get the facts on these additional sections of this annual report. Copies are being sent to all the Board of Trustees members, the Counselors and the faculty. A limited number will be available to interested alumni. But the next time some tired looking college professor tells you he teaches " only" sixteen hours a week , don't forget the 357 speeches !! MORNINGSIDE MEN AND THE WAR EFFORT To get an over-all picture of the status of the men students of the College, a questionnaire was recently distributed and filled out by 212 of the men. The results are of interest, not only because they represent Morningside men, but also because they are probably quite typical of the status of college youth generally. Classified in Selective Service - Freshmen, Sophomores, Juniors, Seniors, All lA ------------------------------------- -- -- 2 3 5 lB ------------------------------------- -- 1 -- 1 2 2A ------------------------------------ -- -- 1 2 3 2B ------------------------------------ -- 1 -- 1 2 3 -------------------------------------- -- -- 1 1 2 4 -------------------------------------- 1 2 3 4 10 Uncertain ------------------------------ -- -- -- 1 1 Registered, questionnaire filled, not classified - -- 3 4 7 14 Registered, no questionnaire ----------------- 8 10 10 8 36 Enlisted and on deferred status-Navy V-7, Officers -- -- 1 4 5 Marine Officers --------------------------- -- 7 -- 1 8 Army Air Corps --------------------------- 2 2 -- -- 4 Not yet of draft age ------------------------- 78 35 6 1 120 Total ------------------------------------- 89 61 28 34 212 Of the men not yet of draft age 60 % will not reach twenty until the end of the next school year. The most striking fact here, is the small number of men below present senior classification who are now of draft age. Assuming the government will continue to urge college men to remain in school until called, there are really few men who should not continue school next year. Those faced with possible draft by next winter should certainly take advantage of the expanded summer session. The Office of War Information has been keeping the men well informed of all available military services, including the new Army Air Corps deferred class. THE ALUMNUS AND THE SCHOOL GRADUATE The College alumnus does as much as anyone to send students to his college or to drive them away. Time after time reports come of high school graduates going to colleges, including Morningside, because of what an alumnus said or did at the right time. Your college is judged by you. Morningside will need your help in securing new students more than ever right now. You can be the deciding factor for some fine boy or girl to come here this fall. Let Victor Schuldt, Director of Admissions, know about this boy or girl. You will find a greater satisfaction in accomplishing this than you dreamed you would for it will be helping to build Morningside and will also be sending some young friend to the College to which you owe so much. Let 's make it a slogan: "Each alumnus finds a new student." V. V. SCHULDT, Director of Admissions Date._______________ Dear Mr. Schuldt: I am recommending Morningside College to Name___________ Address____________ Interests ___________________________ and will be happy to assist in completing plans for his enrollment at Morningside. Name____________________ Address___________________ May, 1942 Page 3 CAMPUS CLEAN UP The third annual Campus Clean-Up Day of the College was held Thursday, April 30 with a large percentage of the college students and faculty participating in the event. The 8:00 o'clock classes were held from 8:00 to 8:30 at which time all students assembled in the college assembly hall for instructions regarding campus clean-up activities. Ten student leaders were chosen, each selecting a group of ten or fifteen other students to be members of his group. Each group was assigned special duties on the campus during the day. Between forty and fifty trees were planted on the campus during the day including some replanting of trees that had died during the winter. Many additional bushes and shrub plants were also planted. The general plan is that after some of the trees which are now being planted attain some size; a number of the older trees which were badly damaged by the 1936 drought will be cut down. It is planned to continue this event each year, that soon the campus will be a beauty spot of the city. The planting of oak trees around the "spoon holder", the gift of the class of 1903, which was made several years ago and largely killed by the drought, has been replaced under the leadership of Ray Toothacher, a member of that class. ---M--- SUMMER COLLEGE PLANS BEING MADE Following the pattern instituted during the summer of 1941, plans are under way for another "Summer College" rather than just a "summer session" to be held on the campus during the summer of 1942. In the past many summer sessions have been considered as simply opportunities for study. The absence of the distracting influence of the social and extra-curricular activities, which frequently provides such serious competition during the regular school year, has in many cases resulted in a higher level of scholarship during the summer. However, there is much that can be gained which is worthwhile, in terms of personal development, loyalty and friendships, from the out-of-the classroom activities of the college, whether it is in session during the winter or during the summer. Because some summer students are never in attendance during the regular year, it was considered desirable to give them a chance to participate in some extra -class activities in addition to their classroom work so that they might feel t hat they are not just "going to school", but that they are actually Morningsiders. A number of new features were inaugurated in the 1941 summer college. Weekly convocations were held in the auditorium. Movies, addresses, and musical programs were among the offerings. Attendance was voluntary. Once a week a special afternoon feature was held. Three tours were made of the most interesting environmental attractions of Sioux City, including the social agencies, the recreational facilities and some of the industrial concerns. One week a swimming party was held. The traditional summer picnics were held, one each term, followed by soft ball games and other informal social activities. Three student organizations, the "Third-Termites", t he "A.G's", and the "Twenty and Two" (you figure out what the titles mean), were formed. A summer council consisting of representatives of the three organizations was organized and gave valuable assistance in planning the activities of the summer to meet the students' interest and needs. One of the projects of the summer council was the introduction of the "Summer School Scoop", a weekly mimeographed newspaper. Included in the first issue of each term was a directory of the summer students. A start was made in the direction of competition between groups in tennis, golf, softball and other sports. All of these activities helped in making the summer more enjoyable and profitable as well. The 1942 summer college will present an even more extensive program of activities. The editor of the Scoop has already been appointed and is making her plans. Some of the members of the council will be back and will be more ready to accept leadership in suggesting and promoting interesting activities. The curricular offering s have also been expanded to meet the present situation. The length of the session has been increased to twelve weeks to make an accelerated program possible for students who wish to complete their work in three year s, and be ready for military or other service a year earlier. New courses in line with present day world affairs include "Hist or y of the Far East", "Geography of Latin America", Ordinance and Gunnery", and "Aviation." To meet the needs of teachers needing to meet certificate renewal or reinstatement requirements, "refresher" courses, as well as the usual professional and academic courses, will be given. The offerings are designed to meet the needs of many different groups. If you know of someone who would profit from attendance at "Summer College" won't you suggest to him that he consider Morningside. (Perhaps the suggest ion might apply t o you yourself also.) We are certain that the 1942 Summer College at Morningside deserves your consideration and recommendation. Power Jive Nets Bond The Student Body and Faculty of Morningside College participated in a most outstanding all college event when the Power Jive was held in the gym on Friday, May 1st. Ticket sale proceeds were used to buy a war savings bond and enough was realized to purchase a $100 bond for the Student Council. A varied program was given throughout the evening with dancing, musical numbers, solo dances, card games and a refreshment bar. The gym was colorfully decorated in red, white and blue streamers with a large flag displayed waving in the breeze. There were four organizations on the campus who reported a 100 % ticket sale: Pre-Engineers, Alpha Sigma, Kappa Zeta Chi and Kappa Pi Alpha. ---M--- Conference Leader Dies Dr. O. M.

This Fairy Tale is a very colorful translation into tone of the Hans Christian Andersen story, "The Adventures of Tommelise". Each piece is excellent for teaching purposes as well as for concert programs. 'The Suite consists of seven parts, six of which are ready for the press. . It has been suggested by the publisher that the field mouse and the mole parts are suitable for pantomime in the movies. The Suite has been named "The Tommelise".

Previous to May 1, 406 vacancies had been reported. A comparison of this number with the total number of vacancies reported during previous seasons gives objective evidence not only of the possible shortage of teachers this year, but also, of the increasing demand for Morningside trained teachers and confidence in the recommendations of the Morningside Teacher Placement Committee. In 1936 the total number of vacancies reported throughout the entire season was only 236. Previous to 1941 there had never been as many as 500 vacancies reported in any single year. Last year the total number was 652 and in that year less than 400 were reported previous to July first. Actual placements are keeping pace with vacancies. At this date, May 12, eighteen have accepted contracts. As usual the conservatory graduates have been picked up first. Seven of the. ten future music teachers have been placed. The war (and Cupid) has made great inroads in the ranks of those available for teaching positions next year. Last September it appeared that there would be 59 of our students ready for teaching positions. Up to the present time fifteen have been withdrawn from this list on account of military service, marriage plans or other reasons. In order to meet the threatened shortage of teachers and at the same time maintain what standards we have been able to establish, the state department of public instruction has been urging former certificated teachers to consider returning to teaching positions if their situations would permit. If you are one of these former teachers who has recently quit the teaching profession on account of marriage or any other reason, and now find yourself in a position to accept a teaching assignment, you should consider the possibility of renewing or re-instating your certificate and registering as an available teacher. Refresher courses are offered in the summer college and the Teacher Placement Committee will be glad to assist you in your search for a position. ---M--- Margaret Dolliver Is In Iceland Through Garrett B.

The week-end, crowded with traditional Homecoming activities, enhanced in a setting of three crisp, gorgeous autumn days which added to the gay, carefree mood of the crowd, will be remembered as one of the best Homecomings held at Morningside. Opening the festivities was the Homecoming dance at the new Tomba ballroom in downtown Sioux City, where 1,200 students, alumni, and faculty enjoyed dancing to the music of Mal Dunn's orchestra. The coronation ceremony this year was a departure from those of previous years, as the queen of Homecoming festivities always has been revealed to the student body at the pep rally Friday night in the chapel. During the intermission of the dance Dr. Earl A. Roadman had the pleasure of crowning his daughter, Katherine, as Homecoming Queen. Miss Beverly Rehnblom, last year's queen, presented the crown to Dr. Roadman who in turn bestowed it on Miss Morningside. She then presided officially over all events of the week-end. A senior sociology major, Katie, tall, slender, and regal appearing, is president of Kappa Zeta Chi sorority this fall. Attendants to the queen were Miss Connie Havighurst of Fort Dodge and Miss Barbara Schmidt of Battle Creek, both seniors. Parade Saturday morning at 10:30 Morningside students assembled at Fifth and Wall streets, where the parade started on schedule. The Morningside band, directed by Robert Lowry, '42, was at the head of the four-block long procession. The Homecoming Queen and her attendants rode in an open coupe behind the band, followed by cheer leaders. The array of floats was broken by the Boy Scout drum and Bugle corps. Other features of the parade included the antics of two characters dressed as clowns. A float designed as an airplane and titled "Victory Mission" won first place for Alpha Tau Delta fraternity. The second place went to the Conservatory of Music and third place to the Y. M. C. A. The three floats were displayed between halves of the football game. Luncheons Luncheons were held at downtown hotels at noon on Saturday. The "M" Club met at the Jackson hotel. Al Strozdas, '40, presided at the luncheon, which was attended by 50 former member s and students. Coach Les Davis, '24, outlined athletic aims for Morningside the next few years, and Dr. Earl Roadman told of plans for a new fieldhouse. Coaches Al Buckingham, '39, and Charles Obye, '46, were introduced, as were the two co-captains for the Homecoming game, Howard Peterson and Julius ("Butch") Shkurensky. Kappa Zeta Chi sorority met at the Mayfair, Kappa Pi Alpha at the Martin, and Alpha Sigma at the Warrior. Alpha Tau Delta fraternity held their reunion at the Green Gables. Alumni-Faculty Mixer Saturday, from 3 to 5 o'clock, at the Student Union in the Barn an alumni-faculty mixer was held. The purpose of it was to give the alumni an opportunity to get acquainted with new faculty members and to visit with old friends. The time was spent socially with refreshments, consisting of cider and doughnuts. The social hour will probably become an annual event since it was so well attended, especially by out-of-town alumni. Business Meeting and Homecoming Dinner At the annual business meeting held at 5:30 in the Women's Residence Hall, Harold Bollman, '35, retiring president of the Alumni Association, installed officers for the coming year. Two hundred alumni and faculty gathered in the dining room at 6:15 for dinner. Guests included the homecoming queen, her escort, the queen's attendants and their escorts, and Rev. Harvey Potthoff, '32, speaker for the Sunday morning service at Grace Church. Alice Hall Dawson, '27, was general chairman of the dinner , which was streamlined so that everyone might leave for the game at 7:30. Dr. Roadman introduced guests, new and old faculty, and college trustees who were present. Highlighting the Homecoming activities was the football game at 8 :00 at the Public School Stadium between the Morningside Maroons and their traditional rivals, the University of South Dakota Coyotes. The game was played before 6,000 fans, and ended in a 6-0 victory for the Coyotes. Following the game the crowd assembled at the north end of Bass field, where four tables had been set up t o dispense barbecued beef sandwiches and all the trimmings. Concluding the program was the annual Homecoming service at Grace Methodist Church on Sunday morning. Rev. Harvey H. Potthoff, '32, pastor of Christ Methodist Church at Denver, delivered t he sermon, entitled "Obedience t o the Unenforceable." Rev. Mr. Potthoff asserted that the inner urge to do, things voluntarily is the force which gets per sons ahead in life. Obedience to the unenforceable is obeying that urge. Faculty members participating in the service were Dr. Roadman, Miss Alva Tolf, Dean Tweito, Dr. Graber, and Dr. N. A. Price, vice president of the college. Rev. N. A. Price Is Named Vice President Rev. Nelson A . Price, pastor of the First Methodist Church at Algona the last four years and a former pastor of Whitfield Church here, was appointed vice president of Morningside College at the closing sessions of the Northwest Iowa Conference of the Methodist Church at Eagle Grove. The vice presidency is a new position at Morningside, the institution not having had a vice president since a similar position was held by the late Dr. F. W. Schneider. Vice P resident Price's duties will include promotional work formerly handled by Rev. R. H. Cox of Sioux City, who was appointed pastor of the Sac City Methodist Church. Rev. Mr. Price was pastor of Whitfield Church here from 1937 until 1942, when he went to Algona. ---M--- Annual Reunion to Be Held in Des Moines The Morningsider reunion held annually during the Iowa State Teacher s' Convention will be a t 6:30 P.

OCTOBER, 1946 �Page 3 Morningside Has Largest Staff in History Morningside College, which quietly has been going about its business of educating young men and women for more than 50 years, isn't quite the same old place this fall. For one thing, the college has experienced the greatest influx of new students in its history. For another, a long awaited building program is under way. Other ambitious undertakings either have been launched or are in the planning stage. The faculty is the largest in the school's history, with 65 members. Perhaps escaping notice in the postwar upheaval is the appointment of many new heads of departments, several of whom have succeeded men who have been department heads for many, many years and who, although continuing full time teaching schedules, are contemplating retirement when the present urgent need for experienced instructors has passed. Prof. Ernest W. Saunders Most recent newcomer to the staff is Prof. Ernest W. Saunders, head of the Bible department. Prof. Saunders, who holds theological degrees from Boston and Duke Universities, was pastor of Asbury Methodist Church at Providence, R. I., prior to coming here. C. E. Bowman, whose picture was printed in last month's issue, is a new assistant in the history department. A graduate of Augustana of Rock Island, Ill., Prof. Bowman received his M. A. at the University of Nebraska at Lincoln, where he had been awarded the Johnson fellowship . He spent the past summer working on his Ph. D. degree at the University of Nebraska. He specializes in American and European history. Prof. R. N. Miller Prof. R. N. Miller, formerly an instructor in social science and head of the division of the Social and Political Sciences in Emporia College, Emporia, Kan., for 26 years, is t he new head of the economics department. Prof. Miller received his B. S. fr om Illinois Wesleyan University; an M. A. from the University of Chicago; a B. D. from Garrett Biblical Institute, and a Litt. D. from Central College in Indiana. An ordained Presbyterian minister and a member of the Topeka Presbytery, Kansas, he served for 10 years as moderator of the Permanent Judicial Commission, Synod of Kansas. Prof. R. L. Flowers, Jr. Prof. R. L. Flowers, jr., is the new head of the speech and dramatics department. The story of his work before coming to Morningside appeared in the September issue of the Morningsider. Prof. John S. Winston Prof. John S. Winston, instructor in physics, received an A. B. degree from Cornell College, Mt. Vernon, Ia., and an M. A. from the University of Chicago. He taught metallurgy in the Illinois Institute of Technology, mathematics at Valparaiso University, and physics at the Biarritz American University. He was discharged from the army in January of 1946 after spending 39 months in the service. Mrs. Frances M. Winston Mrs. Frances M. Winston, assistant in biology, is a graduate of the University of Texas. After teaching biology in Port Arthur, Tex., she spent three and one-half year s as assistant chief inspector of optics and fire control instruments on the technical staff of the Chicago Ordnance District.

Wang, president of Hwa Nan College in Foochow, who arrived in this country recently to study the latest educational developments here and to rest from eight strenuous years of wartime teaching in her native land will speak at 10:45 at the chapel program in Grace Church on Thursday morning, November 7. Member of an illustrious family, Dr. Wang is the granddaughter of the renowned Chinese scholar, Weng Jun Keng, tutor to the Emperor Kwang Hsu. President since 1930 of Hwa Nan College, one of the Christian colleges in China and one of the two women's colleges of liberal arts in China today, Dr. Wang during the war years supervised the college's activities in Nanping, a city 140 miles north of Foochow, where students and faculty fled when the Japanese army advanced on Foochow. Although the campus in Foochow was completely wrecked, carefully placed equipment scattered, and 15,000 books lost, Dr. Wang courageously set to work to repair the buildings and collect the equipment immediately after V-J Day. By March, 1946, classes were started, and four months later the 1946 class of 25 was graduated. Brought up in central China, where her father was director-general of the Peking-Hankow railroad, Dr. Wang at an early age was sent to a mission school to learn English and western sciences. Then in 1913 she and her sister Emily entered the preparatory department of Hwa Nan College, where Dr. Wang remained until she completed her sophomore year. In 1919 she came to the United States for the first time and became a student at Morningside College, graduating in 1921. In 1935 her alma mater conferred on her the honorary degree of LL. D. The winning of a Barbour Scholarship for graduate study at the University of Michigan at Ann Arbor brought an M. A . degree from that university in 1923, and then Dr. Wang returned to China to teach chemistry at Amoy University. After one year there, she became head of the chemistry department at Hwa Nan College and three years later was appointed its dean. She was inaugurated president in 1930. In 1938 she and Emily were the two representatives from Fukien province at a conference at Kuling called by Mme. Chiang Kai-shek. During the war years Dr. Wang was on the executive committee of the women's war work in Fukien province, especially that relating to the care of the war orphan s in that area. Commenting on the work of Hwa Nan students, Dr. Wang declares that "to them the opportunity for service comes before remuneration for their work." "Their willingness to serve in rural districts on a sacrificial basis," she says, "has made our graduates in greater demand in all walks of life. Their service in the churches and in the Christian institutions has been considered a unique contribution to the Christian movement in China." Open house is being planned for Dr. Wang at 2:30 Thursday afterroon, November 7, at the Barn. It is hoped that many of Lucy's friends in Sioux City and the surrounding territory will be able to meet h er at this time. ---M--- Have you sent your change of address to the Alumni Office? Football at Morningside Plagued by the Goddess of Ill-Luck and Misfortune, Morningside has met with some unexpected reverses on the gridiron this fall. Opening up against Nebraska Wesleyan on the home field, the team had difficulty working as a unit, and as in all opening games, the ragged edges were prominent. The two teams were evenly matched and waged an aggressive battle before the final whistle blew. When the smoke cleared Morningside found itself on the low end of a 13-6 count. The second game took the team to Kansas and the Kansas Wesleyan. Here again misfortune and ill-luck forced the team to take a defeat. After a hard fought first half the team met with a series of reverses and this, coupled with a safety, gave Kansas a 9-7 victory. A second road engagement brought the squad into contact with the highly -touted North Dakota State eleven. North Dakota lived up to its reputation to give Morningside a stinging defeat to the tune of 32-7. Bill Annand scored Morningside's lone touchdown late in the game. Despite the score the team showed a great deal of improvement over the two previous games and gave promise of developing into a powerful aggregation. Morningside broke the jinx of the previous games by defeating Augustana, 13-0. The line, led by such stalwarts as Peterson and Haenfler, proved to be the deciding factor. They out-blocked, out-maneuvered, and out-guessed their· opponents, blocking four punts and setting, up the touchdowns. The entire team showed great power on offense and abundant strength on defense. Morningside celebrated its Homecoming and renewed an old rivalry with South Dakota University October 19th. Early in the game the squad showed the fire of the previous week but the breaks were against them and they were unable to score. It was not until late in the game that South Dakota after a sustained drive pushed over a touchdown. Following that, Morningside charged down to the Coyote goal-line only to lose the ball on an intercepted pass. Throughout the game Morningside displayed the advantage in both offense and defense, but was unable to muster the necessary reserve to win the game. 1945-46 CONTRIBUTORS TO THE LIVING ENDOWMENT FUND ( Continued from Page 4) '41 Arthur F.

Stern, '41, of Rochester, N. Y ., was in on the discovery and isolation of deltatocopherol, a member of the vitamin E family. Dr. Stern, who works in the research laboratory of the Distillation Products, Inc., at Rochester, presented the facts of the isolation of the new vitamin to the American Chemical Society in Chicago. The new vitamin is found in soybean oil, wheat germ, cottonseed and peanut oils, Dr. Stern said, and is useful in keeping fats from becoming rancid. It also supplements vitamin A and retains its activity when vitamin A fails. Max obtained an M. S. in organic chemistry at the University of Wisconsin and last year was awarded his Ph. D. degree there. SUMMER MUSIC CAMP High school and college music students from Iowa, Nebraska, Minnesota, North and South Dakota, Kansas, Missouri and Texas filled all the available accommodations at the Lake Okoboji Summer Music Camp during its eighteenth season, June 23 to August 4. The growth in popularity of this nationally known pioneer camp is shown by the fact that many applications had to be turned down. In limiting the number of students t he camp followed its original policy of maintaining a strictly "personal" camp, with emphasis upon individual instruction. Ever since its inception the camp has been affiliated with Morningside college, and a majority of the teaching staff is from the Morningside Conservatory. During the two sessions of the Northwest Iowa young people's "Camp Methoji," and the Bible Conference the camp choral and instrumental groups were augmented for public performances in the Methodist camp auditorium. Several concerts were given at Templar Park, and in addition to the regular evening student programs there were recitals by faculty members and, lectures by guest speakers. Students end teachers wishing to attend the camp next season should send in their names as early as possible for reservations. Sioux City Sue Has Scholarship to Morningside Miss Gayle Jean Hofstad, who won the title of Sioux City Sue two months ago and since that time has helped spread the fame of her home town from coast to coast, will become a co-ed at Morningside College at the beginning of the second semester. Invited to make an appearance at a student assembly program at Morningside, Miss Hofstad was astounded when State Representative Charles S. Van Eaton, acting in behalf of the college board of trustees, presented her a four-year scholarship valued at $1,000. "This is the nicest of the many nice things that have happened to me since I became Sioux City Sue," Miss Hofstad exclaimed. "I have often dreamed of going to college, but never thought my dreams would be realized." Sioux City Sue will take a liberal arts course with emphasis on dramatics and radio presentation.

Miss Greer-who is young and beautiful as well as a coloratura soprano of high degree-similarly contrasted the aria, "Oh Linger Not" from The Marriage of Figaro, by Mozart and the "Jewel Song" from Faust, by Gounod, with light operatic selections, adding a group of four songs with piano accompaniment. Victor Trucco, former conductor of the San Carlo Grand Opera Company, was the singer's excellent accompanist. The concert marked Mr. Kucinski's first appearance with the symphony since his overseas military service and the symphony this season is an orchestra of many new faces in a new arrangement of instruments. as opener, exploited an excellent balance of "Prelude, Choral and Fugue" by Bach, instrumental tone, with violins repeatedly setting themes for the brasses and woodwinds. Handels "Suite from Water Music" which followed featured strings and wind instruments in a charming succession of highly-contrasted dance themes. Alumnus Named Methodist Secretary Dr. Joseph H. Edge, former president of Dakota Wesleyan University, has been elected associate secretary of the general board of evangelism of the Methodist Church, with offices at Nashville, Tenn. In making the selection the general board said: "We want a man of maturity of judgment and experience, one who might know and analyze the trends of the church, not only nationally but around the world, in the decade ahead. We feel that Dr. Edge with his years of experience as a pastor, district superintendent and college president is eminently qualified for the position." Having gained national recognition in his work with youth during the early days of his ministry, Dr. Edge is well known in the church at large. For a number of years he has served as an officer in the general board of ministerial training of the church, and in 1944 was elected a member of the general board of education of the Methodist Church. Joe was graduated from Morningside College in 1913, and later received the honorary degree of D. D. from his alma mater. He took his graduate work at Boston University, receiving the degree of S. T. B. A year ago Boston University honored him with the degree of doctor of science in education. ---M--- Packard Wolle to New Position Packard Wolle, '40, chief of training for the veterans administration subregional office in Sioux City, has been appointed supervisor for business and sales training for a five-state area to include Iowa, Nebraska, South Dakota, North Dakota and Minnesota. Packard will be transferred to Minneapolis headquarters. His new duties will include surveying and supervising activities of training services in state headquarters and subregional offices. He was employed by the veterans administration here in February after having served in the south Pacific theater of war in the naval air corps. Morningside Welcomes Nearly 1,200 Students On the first day of registration week, two of the sophomore girls who had come to help with registration could be seen peeking through the doors of Grace Methodist Church at the welcoming assembly for new freshmen. As someone looked in their direction they quickly closed the doors and turned to face each other with startled eyes. "I don't believe it!" said one. "Neither do I," said the other, and opened the door to confirm what she had seen before. It was true. The church was completely filled, even to the choir loft, and people were actually standing. The registrar's office reports an approximate number of 1,120 students enrolled in Morningside, with a 70 per cent to 30 percent ratio in favor of the boys. When the fact that Morningside was crowded the last regular semester with an enrollment of 510 is considered, you can see why the girls were surprised. There is a different atmosphere, too. It seems strange not to know by name most of the students. One freshman, after wandering through the crowded halls for a considerable time, looking with dismay at the sea of strange faces, finally spied someone he knew, and began weaving his way through the mob toward him. He could be heard mumbling as he passed by, "At last! Someone I've seen someplace before." It's different having 120 students in one psychology class, and not even being able to get in to a chemistry class. It's different wondering whther those figures racing across the campus are hurrying to get a booth at Schwartz's or are only late for a class over Ben's store. It's different having Saturday classes, and two shifts for meals at the Dorm. But, that's only on the surface. There's still the same fun in yelling for your team to make a touchdown and jumping around like crazy when it does. There's still the same college spirit and loyalty, only it's better because there are more students to make it that way. No matter whom you ask, they're sure to say, "It's good to be back." �Mrs. W. Bruce Lindsay (Ila Eberly, ex '41) and children, Ronald and Constance, have gone to Fort Hamilton, N. Y., from where they will go to Darmstadt, Germany, to join Mrs. Lindsay's husband. Bruce, '41, is a first lieutenant in the army signal corps and is serving as a supply officer.

THE MORNINGSIDER Vol. 5 OCTOBER, 1946 No. 2 HOMECOMING . . . 1946 Alums Spend an Enjoyable Week-End Probably the largest group of alumni and Morningsiders ever to gather for Homecoming thronged the campus from the beginning of festivities on Friday evening, October 18, until after the service in Grace Church on Sunday morning, October 20. The week-end, crowded with traditional Homecoming activities, enhanced in a setting of three crisp, gorgeous autumn days which added to the gay, carefree mood of the crowd, will be remembered as one of the best Homecomings held at Morningside. Opening the festivities was the Homecoming dance at the new Tomba ballroom in downtown Sioux City, where 1,200 students, alumni, and faculty enjoyed dancing to the music of Mal Dunn's orchestra. The coronation ceremony this year was a departure from those of previous years, as the queen of Homecoming festivities always has been revealed to the student body at the pep rally Friday night in the chapel. During the intermission of the dance Dr. Earl A. Roadman had the pleasure of crowning his daughter, Katherine, as Homecoming Queen. Miss Beverly Rehnblom, last year's queen, presented the crown to Dr. Roadman who in turn bestowed it on Miss Morningside. She then presided officially over all events of the week-end. A senior sociology major, Katie, tall, slender, and regal appearing, is president of Kappa Zeta Chi sorority this fall. Attendants to the queen were Miss Connie Havighurst of Fort Dodge and Miss Barbara Schmidt of Battle Creek, both seniors. Parade Saturday morning at 10:30 Morningside students assembled at Fifth and Wall streets, where the parade started on schedule. The Morningside band, directed by Robert Lowry, '42, was at the head of the four-block long procession. The Homecoming Queen and her attendants rode in an open coupe behind the band, followed by cheer leaders. The array of floats was broken by the Boy Scout drum and Bugle corps. Other features of the parade included the antics of two characters dressed as clowns. A float designed as an airplane and titled "Victory Mission" won first place for Alpha Tau Delta fraternity. The second place went to the Conservatory of Music and third place to the Y. M. C. A. The three floats were displayed between halves of the football game. Luncheons Luncheons were held at downtown hotels at noon on Saturday. The "M" Club met at the Jackson hotel. Al Strozdas, '40, presided at the luncheon, which was attended by 50 former member s and students. Coach Les Davis, '24, outlined athletic aims for Morningside the next few years, and Dr. Earl Roadman told of plans for a new fieldhouse. Coaches Al Buckingham, '39, and Charles Obye, '46, were introduced, as were the two co-captains for the Homecoming game, Howard Peterson and Julius ("Butch") Shkurensky. Kappa Zeta Chi sorority met at the Mayfair, Kappa Pi Alpha at the Martin, and Alpha Sigma at the Warrior. Alpha Tau Delta fraternity held their reunion at the Green Gables. Alumni-Faculty Mixer Saturday, from 3 to 5 o'clock, at the Student Union in the Barn an alumni-faculty mixer was held. The purpose of it was to give the alumni an opportunity to get acquainted with new faculty members and to visit with old friends. The time was spent socially with refreshments, consisting of cider and doughnuts. The social hour will probably become an annual event since it was so well attended, especially by out-of-town alumni. Business Meeting and Homecoming Dinner At the annual business meeting held at 5:30 in the Women's Residence Hall, Harold Bollman, '35, retiring president of the Alumni Association, installed officers for the coming year. Two hundred alumni and faculty gathered in the dining room at 6:15 for dinner. Guests included the homecoming queen, her escort, the queen's attendants and their escorts, and Rev. Harvey Potthoff, '32, speaker for the Sunday morning service at Grace Church. Alice Hall Dawson, '27, was general chairman of the dinner , which was streamlined so that everyone might leave for the game at 7:30. Dr. Roadman introduced guests, new and old faculty, and college trustees who were present. Highlighting the Homecoming activities was the football game at 8 :00 at the Public School Stadium between the Morningside Maroons and their traditional rivals, the University of South Dakota Coyotes. The game was played before 6,000 fans, and ended in a 6-0 victory for the Coyotes. Following the game the crowd assembled at the north end of Bass field, where four tables had been set up t o dispense barbecued beef sandwiches and all the trimmings. Concluding the program was the annual Homecoming service at Grace Methodist Church on Sunday morning. Rev. Harvey H. Potthoff, '32, pastor of Christ Methodist Church at Denver, delivered t he sermon, entitled "Obedience t o the Unenforceable." Rev. Mr. Potthoff asserted that the inner urge to do, things voluntarily is the force which gets per sons ahead in life. Obedience to the unenforceable is obeying that urge. Faculty members participating in the service were Dr. Roadman, Miss Alva Tolf, Dean Tweito, Dr. Graber, and Dr. N. A. Price, vice president of the college. Rev. N. A. Price Is Named Vice President Rev. Nelson A . Price, pastor of the First Methodist Church at Algona the last four years and a former pastor of Whitfield Church here, was appointed vice president of Morningside College at the closing sessions of the Northwest Iowa Conference of the Methodist Church at Eagle Grove. The vice presidency is a new position at Morningside, the institution not having had a vice president since a similar position was held by the late Dr. F. W. Schneider. Vice P resident Price's duties will include promotional work formerly handled by Rev. R. H. Cox of Sioux City, who was appointed pastor of the Sac City Methodist Church. Rev. Mr. Price was pastor of Whitfield Church here from 1937 until 1942, when he went to Algona. ---M--- Annual Reunion to Be Held in Des Moines The Morningsider reunion held annually during the Iowa State Teacher s' Convention will be a t 6:30 P. M. on Friday evening, November 8, at the Goodner Uptown Restaurant, 42nd and University Avenue.

OCTOBER, 1946 Page 3 Morningside Has Largest Staff in History Morningside College, which quietly has been going about its business of educating young men and women for more than 50 years, isn't quite the same old place this fall. For one thing, the college has experienced the greatest influx of new students in its history. For another, a long awaited building program is under way. Other ambitious undertakings either have been launched or are in the planning stage. The faculty is the largest in the school's history, with 65 members. Perhaps escaping notice in the postwar upheaval is the appointment of many new heads of departments, several of whom have succeeded men who have been department heads for many, many years and who, although continuing full time teaching schedules, are contemplating retirement when the present urgent need for experienced instructors has passed. Prof. Ernest W. Saunders Most recent newcomer to the staff is Prof. Ernest W. Saunders, head of the Bible department. Prof. Saunders, who holds theological degrees from Boston and Duke Universities, was pastor of Asbury Methodist Church at Providence, R. I., prior to coming here. C. E. Bowman, whose picture was printed in last month's issue, is a new assistant in the history department. A graduate of Augustana of Rock Island, Ill., Prof. Bowman received his M. A. at the University of Nebraska at Lincoln, where he had been awarded the Johnson fellowship . He spent the past summer working on his Ph. D. degree at the University of Nebraska. He specializes in American and European history. Prof. R. N. Miller Prof. R. N. Miller, formerly an instructor in social science and head of the division of the Social and Political Sciences in Emporia College, Emporia, Kan., for 26 years, is t he new head of the economics department. Prof. Miller received his B. S. fr om Illinois Wesleyan University; an M. A. from the University of Chicago; a B. D. from Garrett Biblical Institute, and a Litt. D. from Central College in Indiana. An ordained Presbyterian minister and a member of the Topeka Presbytery, Kansas, he served for 10 years as moderator of the Permanent Judicial Commission, Synod of Kansas. Prof. R. L. Flowers, Jr. Prof. R. L. Flowers, jr., is the new head of the speech and dramatics department. The story of his work before coming to Morningside appeared in the September issue of the Morningsider. Prof. John S. Winston Prof. John S. Winston, instructor in physics, received an A. B. degree from Cornell College, Mt. Vernon, Ia., and an M. A. from the University of Chicago. He taught metallurgy in the Illinois Institute of Technology, mathematics at Valparaiso University, and physics at the Biarritz American University. He was discharged from the army in January of 1946 after spending 39 months in the service. Mrs. Frances M. Winston Mrs. Frances M. Winston, assistant in biology, is a graduate of the University of Texas. After teaching biology in Port Arthur, Tex., she spent three and one-half year s as assistant chief inspector of optics and fire control instruments on the technical staff of the Chicago Ordnance District.

Wang, president of Hwa Nan College in Foochow, who arrived in this country recently to study the latest educational developments here and to rest from eight strenuous years of wartime teaching in her native land will speak at 10:45 at the chapel program in Grace Church on Thursday morning, November 7. Member of an illustrious family, Dr. Wang is the granddaughter of the renowned Chinese scholar, Weng Jun Keng, tutor to the Emperor Kwang Hsu. President since 1930 of Hwa Nan College, one of the Christian colleges in China and one of the two women's colleges of liberal arts in China today, Dr. Wang during the war years supervised the college's activities in Nanping, a city 140 miles north of Foochow, where students and faculty fled when the Japanese army advanced on Foochow. Although the campus in Foochow was completely wrecked, carefully placed equipment scattered, and 15,000 books lost, Dr. Wang courageously set to work to repair the buildings and collect the equipment immediately after V-J Day. By March, 1946, classes were started, and four months later the 1946 class of 25 was graduated. Brought up in central China, where her father was director-general of the Peking-Hankow railroad, Dr. Wang at an early age was sent to a mission school to learn English and western sciences. Then in 1913 she and her sister Emily entered the preparatory department of Hwa Nan College, where Dr. Wang remained until she completed her sophomore year. In 1919 she came to the United States for the first time and became a student at Morningside College, graduating in 1921. In 1935 her alma mater conferred on her the honorary degree of LL. D. The winning of a Barbour Scholarship for graduate study at the University of Michigan at Ann Arbor brought an M. A . degree from that university in 1923, and then Dr. Wang returned to China to teach chemistry at Amoy University. After one year there, she became head of the chemistry department at Hwa Nan College and three years later was appointed its dean. She was inaugurated president in 1930. In 1938 she and Emily were the two representatives from Fukien province at a conference at Kuling called by Mme. Chiang Kai-shek. During the war years Dr. Wang was on the executive committee of the women's war work in Fukien province, especially that relating to the care of the war orphan s in that area. Commenting on the work of Hwa Nan students, Dr. Wang declares that "to them the opportunity for service comes before remuneration for their work." "Their willingness to serve in rural districts on a sacrificial basis," she says, "has made our graduates in greater demand in all walks of life. Their service in the churches and in the Christian institutions has been considered a unique contribution to the Christian movement in China." Open house is being planned for Dr. Wang at 2:30 Thursday afterroon, November 7, at the Barn. It is hoped that many of Lucy's friends in Sioux City and the surrounding territory will be able to meet h er at this time. ---M--- Have you sent your change of address to the Alumni Office? Football at Morningside Plagued by the Goddess of Ill-Luck and Misfortune, Morningside has met with some unexpected reverses on the gridiron this fall. Opening up against Nebraska Wesleyan on the home field, the team had difficulty working as a unit, and as in all opening games, the ragged edges were prominent. The two teams were evenly matched and waged an aggressive battle before the final whistle blew. When the smoke cleared Morningside found itself on the low end of a 13-6 count. The second game took the team to Kansas and the Kansas Wesleyan. Here again misfortune and ill-luck forced the team to take a defeat. After a hard fought first half the team met with a series of reverses and this, coupled with a safety, gave Kansas a 9-7 victory. A second road engagement brought the squad into contact with the highly -touted North Dakota State eleven. North Dakota lived up to its reputation to give Morningside a stinging defeat to the tune of 32-7. Bill Annand scored Morningside's lone touchdown late in the game. Despite the score the team showed a great deal of improvement over the two previous games and gave promise of developing into a powerful aggregation. Morningside broke the jinx of the previous games by defeating Augustana, 13-0. The line, led by such stalwarts as Peterson and Haenfler, proved to be the deciding factor. They out-blocked, out-maneuvered, and out-guessed their· opponents, blocking four punts and setting, up the touchdowns. The entire team showed great power on offense and abundant strength on defense. Morningside celebrated its Homecoming and renewed an old rivalry with South Dakota University October 19th. Early in the game the squad showed the fire of the previous week but the breaks were against them and they were unable to score. It was not until late in the game that South Dakota after a sustained drive pushed over a touchdown. Following that, Morningside charged down to the Coyote goal-line only to lose the ball on an intercepted pass. Throughout the game Morningside displayed the advantage in both offense and defense, but was unable to muster the necessary reserve to win the game. 1945-46 CONTRIBUTORS TO THE LIVING ENDOWMENT FUND ( Continued from Page 4) '41 Arthur F.

The new vitamin is found in soybean oil, wheat germ, cottonseed and peanut oils, Dr. Stern said, and is useful in keeping fats from becoming rancid. It also supplements vitamin A and retains its activity when vitamin A fails. Max obtained an M. S. in organic chemistry at the University of Wisconsin and last year was awarded his Ph. D. degree there. SUMMER MUSIC CAMP High school and college music students from Iowa, Nebraska, Minnesota, North and South Dakota, Kansas, Missouri and Texas filled all the available accommodations at the Lake Okoboji Summer Music Camp during its eighteenth season, June 23 to August 4. The growth in popularity of this nationally known pioneer camp is shown by the fact that many applications had to be turned down. In limiting the number of students t he camp followed its original policy of maintaining a strictly "personal" camp, with emphasis upon individual instruction. Ever since its inception the camp has been affiliated with Morningside college, and a majority of the teaching staff is from the Morningside Conservatory. During the two sessions of the Northwest Iowa young people's "Camp Methoji," and the Bible Conference the camp choral and instrumental groups were augmented for public performances in the Methodist camp auditorium. Several concerts were given at Templar Park, and in addition to the regular evening student programs there were recitals by faculty members and, lectures by guest speakers. Students end teachers wishing to attend the camp next season should send in their names as early as possible for reservations. Sioux City Sue Has Scholarship to Morningside Miss Gayle Jean Hofstad, who won the title of Sioux City Sue two months ago and since that time has helped spread the fame of her home town from coast to coast, will become a co-ed at Morningside College at the beginning of the second semester. Invited to make an appearance at a student assembly program at Morningside, Miss Hofstad was astounded when State Representative Charles S. Van Eaton, acting in behalf of the college board of trustees, presented her a four-year scholarship valued at $1,000. "This is the nicest of the many nice things that have happened to me since I became Sioux City Sue," Miss Hofstad exclaimed. "I have often dreamed of going to college, but never thought my dreams would be realized." Sioux City Sue will take a liberal arts course with emphasis on dramatics and radio presentation.

Cecil was an all-conference center in football while at Morningside. ---M--- Concert Season Opens The Sioux City Symphony Orchestra, conducted by Leo Kucinski and with gifted Frances Greer of the Metropolitan Opera Company as guest soloist, inaugurated a new concert season, Monday evening, October 21, at the Orpheum theater with a program that veered sharply from opening selections by Handel and Bach to a medley from Oklahoma as finale. Miss Greer-who is young and beautiful as well as a coloratura soprano of high degree-similarly contrasted the aria, "Oh Linger Not" from The Marriage of Figaro, by Mozart and the "Jewel Song" from Faust, by Gounod, with light operatic selections, adding a group of four songs with piano accompaniment. Victor Trucco, former conductor of the San Carlo Grand Opera Company, was the singer's excellent accompanist. The concert marked Mr. Kucinski's first appearance with the symphony since his overseas military service and the symphony this season is an orchestra of many new faces in a new arrangement of instruments. as opener, exploited an excellent balance of "Prelude, Choral and Fugue" by Bach, instrumental tone, with violins repeatedly setting themes for the brasses and woodwinds. Handels "Suite from Water Music" which followed featured strings and wind instruments in a charming succession of highly-contrasted dance themes. Alumnus Named Methodist Secretary Dr. Joseph H. Edge, former president of Dakota Wesleyan University, has been elected associate secretary of the general board of evangelism of the Methodist Church, with offices at Nashville, Tenn. In making the selection the general board said: "We want a man of maturity of judgment and experience, one who might know and analyze the trends of the church, not only nationally but around the world, in the decade ahead. We feel that Dr. Edge with his years of experience as a pastor, district superintendent and college president is eminently qualified for the position." Having gained national recognition in his work with youth during the early days of his ministry, Dr. Edge is well known in the church at large. For a number of years he has served as an officer in the general board of ministerial training of the church, and in 1944 was elected a member of the general board of education of the Methodist Church. Joe was graduated from Morningside College in 1913, and later received the honorary degree of D. D. from his alma mater. He took his graduate work at Boston University, receiving the degree of S. T. B. A year ago Boston University honored him with the degree of doctor of science in education. ---M--- Packard Wolle to New Position Packard Wolle, '40, chief of training for the veterans administration subregional office in Sioux City, has been appointed supervisor for business and sales training for a five-state area to include Iowa, Nebraska, South Dakota, North Dakota and Minnesota. Packard will be transferred to Minneapolis headquarters. His new duties will include surveying and supervising activities of training services in state headquarters and subregional offices. He was employed by the veterans administration here in February after having served in the south Pacific theater of war in the naval air corps. Morningside Welcomes Nearly 1,200 Students On the first day of registration week, two of the sophomore girls who had come to help with registration could be seen peeking through the doors of Grace Methodist Church at the welcoming assembly for new freshmen. As someone looked in their direction they quickly closed the doors and turned to face each other with startled eyes. "I don't believe it!" said one. "Neither do I," said the other, and opened the door to confirm what she had seen before. It was true. The church was completely filled, even to the choir loft, and people were actually standing. The registrar's office reports an approximate number of 1,120 students enrolled in Morningside, with a 70 per cent to 30 percent ratio in favor of the boys. When the fact that Morningside was crowded the last regular semester with an enrollment of 510 is considered, you can see why the girls were surprised. There is a different atmosphere, too. It seems strange not to know by name most of the students. One freshman, after wandering through the crowded halls for a considerable time, looking with dismay at the sea of strange faces, finally spied someone he knew, and began weaving his way through the mob toward him. He could be heard mumbling as he passed by, "At last! Someone I've seen someplace before." It's different having 120 students in one psychology class, and not even being able to get in to a chemistry class. It's different wondering whther those figures racing across the campus are hurrying to get a booth at Schwartz's or are only late for a class over Ben's store. It's different having Saturday classes, and two shifts for meals at the Dorm. But, that's only on the surface. There's still the same fun in yelling for your team to make a touchdown and jumping around like crazy when it does. There's still the same college spirit and loyalty, only it's better because there are more students to make it that way. No matter whom you ask, they're sure to say, "It's good to be back." Mrs. W. Bruce Lindsay (Ila Eberly, ex '41) and children, Ronald and Constance, have gone to Fort Hamilton, N. Y., from where they will go to Darmstadt, Germany, to join Mrs. Lindsay's husband. Bruce, '41, is a first lieutenant in the army signal corps and is serving as a supply officer.

S. College, First Term, Summer, '42 A recent questionnaire distributed among the summer students of Morningside reveals some interesting information. The total number of registrations is 140. One hundred two have attended Morningside previously, of them 87 have taken regular college work, 30 have taken summer courses, 10 have taken extension courses, 3 have taken normal training at Morningside. Six of the students have had no college credit before attending this summer; 20 have from 1-29 hours; 18 from 30-59; 20 from 60-89; 22 from 90-99; 14 have over 100 hours credit but do not have a degree while 13 have degrees. Some did not report on this item. During the past year 67 attended Morningside College (12 during the second semester only). Eighteen were in attendance at some other college or university, total of 13 institutions being represented. The greatest number, three, transferred from University of Nebraska. Grinnell, University of Iowa, and Iowa State College each contributed two. One each came from Universities of Cincinnati, Wisconsin, So. Dakota, and Chicago and from Briar Cliff, Trinity, Wayne State Teachers, Northwestern Jr. College and Compton Jr. College. Two freshmen have entered from Central High and two from East High, Sioux City. Thirty-four of the summer school students were teaching during the past year. Eleven were located in elementary schools in Sioux City, eleven in elementary grades out of Sioux City, eight in rural schools and four in high schools. Eight students were neither attending school nor t eaching. Twenty-three of the present summer student body attended the 1941 summer session of Morningside, 18 of them for the entire 10 weeks' session. The reasons for attending this summer are varied. Thirty-five reported that they were attending to accelerate their program so that they could complete their course earlier on account of present world conditions. Of these, five were not in attendance at Morningside last year and six attended Morningside last summer. Twelve entered college at mid-year and are taking summer work to catch up the one semester's work. Five are carrying a a part time schedule during the year and are making up the additional work during the summer. Six are taking courses to gain needed additional credit on account of having changed courses, having received unsatisfactory grades, etc. Thirty-one are taking courses primaril y to complete requirements for a teaching certificate or a degree. Thirteen are taking courses primarily to renew a teaching certificate and six are reinstating a teaching certificate that has expired. Five are taking summer work to enrich their course beyond that obtained during the regular four years while 10 report taking courses simply because they are interested in their content. Eleven state that they originally planned to complete their work in three years by attending summer school and they were not influenced by the present world situation. Eight did not divulge their reasons for attending. REUNIONS & REUNIONS Miss Dimmitt aptly termed the Reunion luncheon held on June 1st at the Mayfair as a Reunion of Reunions, a Reunion within a Reunion, Reunion of Classes, Reunion of Families, Reunion of Friends. Under the leadership of Professor Van Horne's committee, the classes of '02, '07, '12, '17, '22, '27, ' 32 and '37 held their reunions at separate tables. The program paid tribute to the work of the four alumni who were honored by the College in the granting of Honorary degrees on Tuesday. The recollections of school days and the deep appreciation of the place each had made for himself in the life of his community were the underlying currents of presentations and responses. Dr. Wm. Jepson was presented by Dr. T. C. Stephens, Dr. O'Donoghue by Miss Dimmitt, Rev. Don Walton by John Kolp, Dr. Ralph Root by Professor Robt. N. Van Horne, and Leon Hickman, commencement speaker, by Dr. Roadman. The genial warmth of "Gus" Quirin, toastmaster, added a fine note of fellowship which made all feel the pleasure of having a common love for Morningside College. No. 10 '22 PLANS FOR FUTUR.E The Class of '22 at its 20th anniversary was pleased to find that they had the largest reunion group. To add to the pleasure of meeting and seeing old friend s so widely scattered, was the common spirit that Morningside College for them symbolized in a very real way many of the ideals for which the allied nations are now fighting. The pleasures of enduring fri endships was very real to the fifteen members of the class. Under the leadership of Lloyd and Ruth Scheerer funds had been provided to rehabilitate the sundial, which has stood so mutely on the front lawn through the twenty years. It has now been moved to the Dormitory lawn and fittingly r ededicated by an appropriate ceremony to perretually by day or night assist in the proper timing of human events so that the glory and greatness of Morningside may ever increase. Returning Morningsiders will note by moonlight that cupid's arrow points directly to the heart of the Dormitory. The class of '22 will meet again in five years and through the medium of a Round Robin Letter keep in closer touch with each other. The class hereby sticks out its neck and challenges all comers to produce a greater returning group or to enjoy the meeting more richly. MISSING IN ACTION All Morningside students were saddened to hear that James Wagner, Ex '42, had been "reported missing in action" in the Phillippines. We quote from a letter received from his mother: "James was employed by Dr. J. J. Krall of Tyndall, So. Dak., after leaving Morningside, and then went to California in March, 1940, where he was employed by the Shell Oil Co. He enlisted in the army at Sioux Falls, So. Dak., on September 16, 1941, going to Fort Snelling, Minnesota. After two weeks, he was sent to Fort McDowell, Angel Island, California. He volunteered for duty in the Philippines, and sailed on October 27th, reaching Manila on November 20th, shortly before the war broke. Since then, we have had but one letter, dated February 15th, and reaching here March 31st. It had no address, and he could give no information. This was all we had received until the official notice came from the war department." Published monthly from September to June, inclusive, by Morningside College. Entered February 13, 1911, at Sioux City, Iowa, as second class matter under Act of Congress, August 21, 1912. �Page 2 LIVING ENDOWMENT The Morningside College Living Endowment Fund, of which Leon Hickman is Chairman, presented Morningside College with cash and pledges totaling $1,892.

COUNSELORS HONORED AT COMMENCEMENT The commissioning of the Counselors of Morningside College was a unique addition to the commencement program on June 2nd. In an impressive ceremony conducted by Mr. John Kolp, Vice President of the Board of Trustees, and President E. A. Roadman, thirty-six counselors were awarded their commissions and received the charge to the counselors. They were assisted by Mr. Carrol Smith and Dr. J. V. Madison of Sioux City. The remaining counselors who June, 1942 were prevented from attending by the press of business and difficulties of travel, have received their certificates of commission by mail. Following the commencement exercises, the counselors, their wives, recipients of honorary degrees, faculty, and board members, all joined in a luncheon at the Mayfair Hotel. Over one hundred attended. Speakers at the luncheon were Mr. Ernest Raun of Sioux City, chairman of the Counselors of the Sioux City district, Mr. Roy Snyder, of Humboldt, Chairman of the Counselors of the Fort Dodge District, Bishop J. Ralph Magee of Des Moines, Mr. Leon Hickman of Pittsburgh, President E. A. Roadman and the Reverend Walter Breaw of Humboldt, first Counselor to secure a $1,000 gift for the new program. Dean George E. Hill acted as toastmaster. The program was arranged by a committee headed by Prof. Mendal B. Miller. EVERYBODY TO VOTE IN OCTOBER Under the chairmanship of Wm. Wolle, '20, plans are being made for a wider participation in Morningside affairs by assisting in the annual election. A ballot will appear in the October issue of the News letter. The choice of regional and class representatives as well as the election of the executive committee and officers is being studied by the committee. Won't you help by sending ideas to Mr. Wolle, c/ o Buckwalter Co., Sioux City, Iowa. TRAINING OF NAVAL OFFICERS It is now evident to all that Amer ica has been blind to the terrible dangers threatened by the conspirators of Berlin, Rome and Tokio. There have been some among us who warned us; military and naval authorities who urged the need for greater defense preparation; but the blindfold skillfully and treacherously placed by the conspirators limited our defense efforts. I will not preach to you about the lesson we should learn, for I could not preach; I will not lecture you for I could not lecture. (In fact, I doubt if a democracy can ever learn this lesson.) But I wish to tell you something about the Navy. In peace time it is the business of the Navy to be always ready to fight; to be aware of the latest naval developments abroad, to maintain the best in material and the most adequately trained personnel. It requires five years to make a battleship and at least thirty-five years to train an admiral. A war must be fought largely with the navy that is ready (Continued on page 8) HARLAND L. MOSSMAN, A TRIBUTE We have brought him home to r est, h er e in the atmosphere of this college which was so dear to his heart, here in this sacred place where sleeps his father, his mother and his sister. We were boys together, and I enjoyed the enriching experience of intimate association with him throughout his lifetime. We were fellow-students in Mo.r ningside College which honored him with the degrees of Bachelor or Arts and Master of Arts, and later at Creighton University where he received his professional training and the degree of Bachelor of Laws. He had a passion for justice, and an instinctive aversion to the artifices and sophistries by which it is sometimes thwarted. Genuine, sincere, forthright, he was intolerant of sham and pretense, of hypocrisy and artificiality. , His sound scholarship and his excellent professional talents made him a powerful and effective advocate, a wise and prudent counselo.r . True to his convictions, actuated always by a high idealism, unswerving in his devotion to every cause which he believed to be just-and he would espouse no other-he commanded the r·espect of the judges of the courts and of his fellow-members of the bar. He kept his record clean, and held his standard high. He never "bent the hinges of the knee that gain might follow fawning". His was the stuff of which heroes are made. Stricken at age fifty with an incurable malady while he was still approaching the fullness of his powers, just as he about to come into the larger enjoyment of the fruits of worthy and high-minded effort, and to realize the rewards of fine professional attainment, for eight long years he carried on with fortitude and courage, with cheerfulness and good humor, and with no lack nor any loss of faith in the inherent goodness in the universe.

Hickman, '22 Address at Forty-ninth Annual Commencement, Morningside College, June 2, 1942, Grace Methodist Church. President Roadman, friends of Morningside College, members of the Class of 1942: Because this is such an important occasion in your lives and in the lives of your fathers and mothers, I deeply appreciate the honor of being invited to speak on this commencement program, the forty-ninth in the history of Morningside College. Once upon a time-oh, a great many years ago-I, too, was a member of a g raduating class at this college. We, too, had a commencement program. At leas t I think we did. My uncertainty stems from the fact that I cannot remember a word that the commencement speaker spoke, a single idea that he developed, or even the subject of his remarks. Frankly, I had to be prompted to remember his name. I get a certain cold comfort from the implications of these lapses of memory. They r elieve the tension and appear to assure me that if the commencement speaker does not take himself too seriously no one else will. At all events, I trust you will spare me the crowning ignominy heaped upon a well known speaker a few days ago at a commencement prog ram in the vicinity of Pittsburgh. The members of the graduating class of that college, listening with the rapt attention to which I have alluded, found time to run a pool on the length of the speaker's talk. If I were to t ell you tha t thirty-one minutes was the winning ticket, you would have such a good tip on this morning 's prog ram that it ought to forestall a r epetition of the incident. One of my classmates who is a Methodist minister and within the sound of my voice at this moment- I shall mention no names-has a .rather rational viewpoint on this problem of audience and speaker r elationships. He t ells me that he does not object if members of his congrega tion sleep during his sermons if only they drop off before h e starts to preach. That relieves him of all r esponsibility. I bring to this occasion m any memories of Morningside, all wholly pleasant. I g rew up in this community. I met my wife at Morningside College. I assume that there was p:recedent for such extra-curricula r activity before I discover ed it. At least John Kolp's remarks would tend to confirm that belief. It is barely possible that such things still happen. A picture on the societ y page of this morning's J ournal-Trib- une would indicate as much. I remember with warm affection those faculty members who labored most over me-Marsh, Campbell, and Schneider, of sacred memo.ry, Van Horne, Stephens, Dimmitt, and Mills, to mention only a few. I know you share with me a deep regret that one member of your faculty is closing his term of active duty today after thirty years of devoted and effective service. I refer to my friend of twenty-five years standing, that splendid man and inspired coach, Jason M. Saunderson, our own beloved "Saundy". I know we are one in wishing him years of health and happiness, relieved of the annual and sometimes troublesome chore of putting "South Dakota in the hole." Among the deep and abiding loyalties of life are those that center around one's college and one's schoolmates. On the first Tuesday of every June the hearts and thoughts of every person who has ever attended this institution return once more to this campus to wish for every member of the graduating class the very best that life may hold in the years that are ahead. The eyes of all your friends, and they are legion, are on the Class of 1942 with a particular intensity, because yours is destined to be an historic and heroic role. The next ten year s will mold the pattern of the world for the next century and well may det ermine America's role in world affairs for all t ime. The perils of the war will only be exceeded by the pitfalls of the peace ; and you will be in the thick of it all. Within the next twelve months member s of this class will perform their high duties a s citizens of this r epublic with the armed f or ces of our country in Australia, in China, in North Africa, in the British Isles, and in west ern E urope. And an equally heroic part will be performed by those members of this class who serve their country by unheralded duties on our f arms, in our factories, in our schools, and elsewhere. This will be particularly true of the women of this class, who will perform these high duties with .h ea rts anxious for their loved ones. Yours indeed, will be a role that will t est your mettle. But I do not bring you sympathy, because these high duties will call upon all that is best in your nature. Winst on Churchill did not r each his present st ature unt il E ngland's moment of di- Page 3 rest peril, nor the British people their true nobility until all was lost save honor. In the next ten years you will participate in three momentous decisions: ( 1) the determination of what nations are to survive this holocaust, (2) the determination of the nature of the economic security that America can work out for her citizens in the postwar years, and (3) the determination of the pattern of our postwar inter national relationships. I shall not dwell upon the first of these matters-the winning of the war-for the issue is crystal clear, the peril imminent, obvious and appreciated. This war will decide one simple and tremendous issue and no other: namely, what nations are to survive. In six months we have lost more soldiers than in any previous six months of our history. In that same six months we have lost more battles, more ships, more territory, more prestige, than in any similar period. Coast wise shipping has suffered prohibitive losses from submarines within sight of our shores. And yet I have confidence for a danger fully appreciated is half mastered. We shall fight the enemy with everything we have. We shall fight him in our homes, on our farms and in our factories. W e shall seek him out wherever he may be, on and under the seas, in the skies, in the Orient, in North Africa, and on the continent of Europe. And if we persevere, we and the twenty-six nations with whom we are allied, representing three-fourths of the world's populat ion, shall triumph in due season. It cannot be otherwise, for when t wo na tions seek to enslave the world the hand of ever y other living being is raised in self- defen se. But when we have won the wa r and established our right t o live, we shall ha ve settled absolutely nothing else. We and those united with us will have earned merely the r ight to r ebuild our own postwar economy and to rebuild a new set of inte rnational relationships. Perhaps you r ecall that during the Christmas recess of your junior year much of the Old City of London was razed by a series of deadly German a ttacks. The Inns of Cou rt, ancient cathedrals, and slums were dest r oyed in one indiscriminat e series of assault s. Ultimately those defending the city were able to bring the fires under control and wer e once more the master s of their city. But nothing r emained but ruins. The pattern of the Old City of London as it will exist after the war was in no wise disclosed by the extinguishment of the fires. Whether t he Old City of London, as it will exist t omorrow, will include Inns of Court, cathedrals, modern housing, or slums will depend entirely upon the use to which those who put out the fires put their opportunities. To bring the matter nearer home, it is as t hough t wo contending forces had battled �Page 4 for two or three years for control of Sioux City and at the close of the battle had leveled the buildings on this campus along with the rest of the city. The victor would acquire not a flourishing city but a shambles. The intelligence with which he rebuilt the city would determine whether the victory was more than Pyrrhic. So it will be with the victors who inherit a world with no peacetime economy and no international relationships except the expedient alliances of war.

We can resolve the complexmay r ead an enunciation of it in no less a ities over a period of centuries but unless document than the Atlantic Charter. we build the foundations now we shall have History should have taught both the no chance to work on the superstructure. As I see it, the fundamentals of a just and British Empire and the United States that intelligent and peaceful relationship be- their rule, benevolent though it may be, is tween nations are two: ( 1) a world of free only slightly more acceptable to alien peo- ples than German rule. We did not like British rule when we had it, and the British dominions have struggled long and effectively to obtain complete self-government and the acknowledged right of secession from the Empire. The Malayans, the Burmese and the Indians have added their voice of protest to the comparatively tolerant overlordship of the British. Peace in the Orient can be founded but little more securely on British rule than Japanese. But let us not be smug about the reaction of other peoples to British rule, for American rule finds no more acceptance than that of our English cousins. Our r elationships with our South and Central American neighbors and with Mexico were notoriously poor until we learned to treat them as free men and our equals. We did poorly with the Philippines despite all the education and the wealth that we lavished upon that country until our Congress recognized that status of those people as free men. The only enduring foundation upon which a postwar world can be built will be one based upon a free China, a free India, a free Russia and a free Europe. By freedom I do not mean a country formed in our own imagine, but rather one governed in whatever way and by whatever form is compatible with the consent of the governed. And let us ponder carefully before we deny to the Germans and the Japanese the status of a free people. It will be a great temptation to inflict upon both people a status of subjugation which their conduct so richly merits. But if such a status were to be inflicted on us, we should never rest until we had thrown it off. Would the Japanese and the Germans do less? I doubt it. If this war is to be a st ep toward a just and intelligent postwar world, the voice of America must speak out for a world of free men. Let us r enounce, as we have always r enounced, a career of imperialism for ourselves. If the postwar world needs policing, as we know it shall, let the seventyfive percent of the world which shall participate in winning the war do that policing in the same spir it of equality and fraternity which prevails while they are a t war . Professor Coss can analyze the chemical qualities of the blood of any animal and identify one from the other. The blood of the cow, the horse, the hog differs one from the other. It is not so with the blood of human beings. The scientist does not live who can identify the differences in the blood of the white man, the yellow man, the brown man, the red man and the black man, for there aren't any differences. The races of the world are equal, not merely chemically, but in the eyes of our Heavenly Father, who created them. This ought to be good doctrine at Morn- �June, 1942 ingside College, st eeped as it is in the tradition of Wilson Seeley Lewis, Stanley Carson, and some eighty other missionaries who have gone forth from this college n ot only to preach but to live the brotherhood of man. And an equally significant contribution has been made to Morningside by those students of Chinese birth who have graced nearly every student generation in this College. My wife and I have entertained in our home graduates of this college of Chinese birth, not in any spirit of condescension, but humbled and honored by the presence of these fine people in our home. The second fundamental of a just, intelligent and peaceful relationship between the nations is foreshadowed by the first. If we are to have a world of free people, it can only endure by recognizing that nations are not only independent but interdependent. Certainly one does not need to labor to a college audience the premise that the world is an economic unit or that national frontiers mean nothing to the airplane, the radio and the telephone or to medicine, art or literature. The world economy has outgrown fifty or sixty national political frontiers buttressed by protective tariffs and maintained in the spirit of a Chinese Wall or a Maginot Line. The vanishing rubber tires on the car in which you drove to this Commencement illustrate the point well enough. We failed to learn the lesson of the last war that the peoples of the world are truly interdependent, one upon the other. America's course was chartered by the cynical and embittered observation of Henry Cabot Lodge that "We asked for nothing and we got exactly what we asked for." Tired and disillusioned, America followed the path of isolation, of protective tariffs, of unilat eral disarmament, of embargoes, and of an abortive neutrality between the g reat issues that were rocketing the world to another war. As late as Dunkerque we were still pursuing this policy, selling our commodit ies to the highest bidder for cash on the barrel head. France pursued a similar policy and created for herself an imaginary world behind a Maginot Line, which in basic concept was the Chinese Wall all over again. And so it went throughout the world, fifty some nations fencing off their own little garden spot and acting in utter indifference to the problems of every other people ! History does n ot justify making nationalism a r elig ion or a fetish. Man's conception of geographical boundaries has ever been an expanding one. At one time men lived in caves, each a law unto himself . In due time the individual was subor dinated to the family, the family to the clan and the clans formed tribes the better to defend their pastures that extended from one range of hills to the n ext or to a river too deep to ford. Ultimately the rivers were bridged and as a consequence tribes confederated, and as confederation succeeded it was followed by states and finally by nations. The same inexorable logic that drove the tribe into a federation with its neighboring tribe across the river is driving all nations into a world-embracing confederation. American history affords a pattern of this development. When the thirteen original states were persuaded of Franklin's dictum that they must hang together or hang separately, they tried confederation. When confederation failed they had the good judgment to realize that failure grew out of the delegation of too few powers, not too many. The confederation was followed by a national union, vitalized by a delegation of k ey powers. The two most significant delegations of power were those over interstate commerce and over the Army and the Navy. The delegated power over interstate commerce gives you access to the steel production of Pittsburgh and brings to my table the produce of the Iowa farm. Can you even conceive of a political order within these United States that would permit armies to face each other on the borders of Iowa and Nebraska, or Iowa and South Dakota. And now the same inexorable logic which drove the American states to recognize their interdependence upon each other drives the nations of the world to delegate to a common international agency a large measure of control over such armies and navies as will be permitted to exist in the postwar world and to some international agency and authority to k eep open the channels of international trade. Unless we recognize our interdependence upon each other we will continue in the same old destructive pattern. We can and have ruined the sugar industr y of Cuba by a protective tariff, and foreign nations can and have ruined the foreign markets of the Unit ed States' agricultural and other pr oducts by protective tariffs of their own. Each nation attempts to help itself at t he expense of the other. Isn't it about time that we get as much sense as the old tribesmen at the .river's edge and r ealize that as long as we can both cross the river we had better reach an under standing? I r ealize t h at this is strong m edicine for America. We ar e more nearly self-sufficient than any other nation and the t emptation to try to go it alone is great. It will be easy to defeat, by differences over details, a program such as I have envisioned. We can not accomplish our ultimate objective overnight. We must be patient and longsighted. We must confine ourselves to fundamentals and start with a simple program on which most of u s can a gree. It Page 5 is an evolutionary process. The nations of the world must learn to walk together before they can run together. I share the fears and prejudices so common among us. And yet common sense tells us that the interdependence of nations is so obvious that a program of international cooperation in matters of trade and policing is both inevitable and desirable. Our frame of mind is not unlike that of the farmer who was being urged by a salesman to buy a book on agriculture for $2.98. When the farmer showed evidences of sales resistence, the salesman explained at length that the tome dwelt in detail on exactly how to plant, cultivate and harvest corn, wheat, oats, and, indeed, all the worthwhile crops. But the farmer was adamant, and when pressed for the r eason for his refusal to buy such a worthwhile book, said "You couldn't possibly interest m e in such a book. What you don't realize is that I alr eady know three times a s much about farming as I put into practice." Well, don't we all? We are the victims of our fears and prejudices. We worry about Russia and overlook entirely the fact t hat she was the str ongest of all advocates of collective security in the period between the two wars. When the war is over, our fears and prejudices will be buttressed by an inevitable rea ction. Again we shall be tried and disillusioned. Our national debt will be staggering and the argument will be strongly pressed that we should eliminate all commitments in any part of the world beyond our own shores. We yielded to these f eelings following the last war. We took the easy r oad; and it ended at P earl Harbor. We must not take it again. We must rise above our feelings, our prejudices and our fears and take the route that our reason t ells us must be t raveled. The great periods in American history have all been the hard ones. Call the roll and you find Valley Forge, the Constitutional Convention, the Civil War, to mention but a few. The easy road produces a Laval; the h ard road a Churchill. If America has the stamina and th e moral fibre to remember that in winning the war we do no more than establish our right to survive, that we have only put out the fire but have not r ebuilt the city; if America can withstand the heady wine of power and remember that the peoples of the world have the same yearning for free dom as do we and that all of the r aces of the world are entitled to be treated a s equals; if America can follow in the pathway charted by h er own thirteen original states and remember that interdependent nations must trade with one another and, perforce, renounce th e right to maintain �Page 6 whatever they choose of armed forces, the better to settle disputes between nations in whatever way best serves the purposes of the strongest; if America can chart such a course in the years immediately following this war and during the time when she will be under the greatest pressure to travel the easy road which seems to avoid these problems, she will have achieved her finest hour. This ought not to be a hard doctrine for an audience trained in the tradition of Morningside, a college that has sent scores of missionaries to the foreign field, a college that has numbered dozens of foreign students among her student body, a college that has Hwa Nan for a sister college. The relationship of Morningside College with the peoples of other lands is one of the golden pages in the history of this school. I have a trembling hope that America will lead the way in bringing about a world of free peoples, organized in recognition of the interdependence of one people upon another. If we can begin to walk that road, this war will not have been fought in vain. At a time like this I am reminded of the statement of the late Justice Oliver Wendell Holmes, who once said: "I think it not improbable that man, like the grub that prepares a chamber for the winged thing it never has seen but is to be-that man may have cosmic destinies that he does not understand." I have an unshakable faith that this is true and that our nation-indeed, that you and I-can contribute mightily to that destiny if we but will it so. My dream of an America fulfilling this high role was pictured to my mind the other evening as I was walking toward the west on one of the ridges that overlook my city. The sky was aflame with the golden hues of the setting sun. But as I watched the sun disappear over the horizon I began to see below the skyline, like a note of gloom, a pallid discord that came from little clusters of electric lights, to be seen, as the twilight deepened, first here, then there. I thought of the symbolism of the picture. The sun is sinking, and from these electric bulbs, clustered like little eggs, will come the new masters of the sky. It was like the day in which we are living. But, then, as I remembered the faith that I partly have expressed, faith in an America reborn in the crucible of this war, faith in an America whose acts will be measured not by its fears and its weaknesses, faith that the peoples of all the world are marching, however slowly, toward a destiny of freedom, equality and peace, faith in a universe of thought and purpose, I gazed after the sunset and above the electric lights, and there shown the stars! June, 1942 BESSIE REED WALTON SPEAKS AS A TRUE MORNINGSIDER It is difficult for me to express the great joy that it is for Don and me to be here with you. In fact, I can not imagine any ·occasion that could have made us more happy. It will be something to which we will look back with pleasure for the rest of our lives. Recently we heard Dr. and Mrs. Peale tell of an experience while assisting with the filming of Dr. Spence's life story, "One Foot In Heaven". Mrs. Peale said that they were a bit nervous about having dinner at the home of Frederick March, since a clergyman's ways might not be the ways of Hollywood. The Peales arrived and rang the March doorbell. They were greeted by a small boy dressed in pajamas, who said, "Good evening, Dr. and Mrs. Peale. I'm Tony March. I'm so glad you have come. Won't you come in?" Then heaving a great sigh of relief, he exclaimed, "Oh boy, am I glad that's over. I've been rehearsing that all afternoon". In this case, Mr. Obrecht, who was supposed to make this speech, did all the rehearsing, and I have the speech to make. I fully believe we are largely what circumstances make us. Don and I found ourselves very lonely in our great city of New York. As we were doing our work there in a parish of a quarter of a million people, there was not a familiar face - no Ray Toothaker or Leon Hickman-all strangers. There is no greater loneliness than that caused by the impact of strangers or foreigners who do not speak our language. In this situation we sought out our old Morningside friends, and have been meeting with them on the average of three times a year for almost twenty years. Bob Dolliver said that it is the best organization to which he has ever belonged, for all we do is eat and gossip. It is really amazing to know a Pi could be so nice when you have been a Zet, or how grand that tall football player is when you kept company with a minister while in Morningside. These fine friendships have been so wholesome and worthwhile all through these many years. While attending one of these meetings, Leon Hickman evolved the idea of an alumni organization which would stimulate a closer relationship between all alumni and the college. A committee was appointed to study the problem and endeavor to work out a plan to assist the college and stimulate a more active alumni agency. We hoped for a medium by which we could keep in close touch with Morningside. We wanted to know the intimate side of the college all through the year and not merely receive an annual letter telling about the college's financial needs. The committee was Leon Hickman, Harry Benz, David Wickens, Mrs. Nellie Carpenter Winter and myself. By means of many progressive meetings and voluminous correspondence during the past year, this All-Morningside Committee drew up plans which were mailed to all the alumni we could reach. At the present time we wish to report that we have $1,892.00 to give to the college. This is the gift of 73 persons and represents an endowment of $37,840.00. If each one of us 5,000 alumni could do even a little bit, we would help in so many ways to accomplish our common purpose. On Mother's Day our Mary came to me with a little gift she had made. In an apologetic tone she presented the gift with these words, "It isn't much, Mother, but I love you". Wouldn't it be grand if each one of us could send a little gift to Mother Morningside because we love her? COLLEGE HONORS FOUR ALUMNI Honorary Degrees A warded at Commencement One of the two surviving members of the Class of '91, first graduates of the institution, and the surviving member of the Class of '93 were among the four alumni honored as recipients of honorary degrees at the 1942 commencement. Dr. William Jepson, '91, noted surgeon and medical educator of Sioux City was awarded the LL. D., Dr. James H. O'Donoghue, '93, former faculty member of the University of the Northwest, surgeon, of Storm Lake, Iowa, was awarded the D. Sc. degree. A unique feature of Dr. O'Donoghue's presentation was that it was made by his son, Dr. Arch O'Donoghue, of Sioux City. Dr. Ralph E. Root, '05, Professor of mathematics and mechanics in the Postgraduate School of the United States Naval Academy received the degree of D. Sc. The Reverend Donald J. Walton, '17, for twentytwo years pastor of the DeWitt Memorial Church in New York City, and leader of an unusual mission center, was granted the D. D. degree. Dr. Jepson was presented for the degree by Dr. Prince Sawyer of Sioux City. Dr. Root was presented by Professor Robert N. VanHorne of the College. Rev. Walton was presented by his classmate, the Reverend Walter L. Breaw of Humboldt, Iowa. �June, 1942 WITH OUR BOYS will begin preliminary flight training at one of the naval reserve aviation bases.

We are inclined to think of the navy in terms of the sailing of ships and the firin g of guns. But, in fact, the navy is also a g reat educational institution. Naval officers are responsible for the training of enlisted men, and the officers themselves undergo training and education throughout their naval careers. Advancement from grade to grade requires rigid examinations, and, at most grades, prior selection. Eliminations occur all along the line, and no profession is more continuously "on its toes". No man is fit to be an admiral until he has won his way through all the lower grades, and experienced the problems of those· he commands. In peace time scholastic education in the navy, as you would think of education, is carried on at the Naval Academy, at the Postgraduate School, and at the War College. With the possible exception of West Point, the Naval Academy at Annapolis is more truly representative of the whole country than any other institution. Each cong ressman and senator appoints his quota from among his own constituents, and the President appoints a limited number, usually from the District of Columbia and from the sons of naval officers. These, tog ether with the enlisted men who qualify, limited to one hundred per year, constitute the student body. All take the same course, except that some take French, some German, and some Spanish. The course h a s ab out the same scholastic value as a four year engineering course, with a little less of theory and a little more of traning and di scipline, with some special naval matters replacing more general engineering . The r esult is a body of alert, self-reliant young men, well disciplined physically and mentally, each with a bachelor's degree and a commission as Ensign. After about six years at sea, the y oung officer, now a lieutenant (junior grade ) may apply for, and be ordered to, postgraduate instruction in some specialty-communications,' ordnance, aero logy , engineering, aeronautics, etc. This work is a dministered from the Postgradua te School at Annapolis, and much of the instruction is given there with buildings and faculty distinct from the Naval Academy, but arrangements are made for certain groups to take part or all of their advanced work at universities or t echnical schools. Perhaps from one fourth to one half of each class has postgraduate work for one o.r more years. It is an integ ral part of the naval training , and the student officer draws his pay regularly. Long before Pearl Harbor the movement toward a "two-ocean navy" required more officers than regular channels could provide. Reserve officers have been called in, and many college men and specialists have been given reserve commissions. All training programs have been greatly expanded. Doctors, dentists and chaplains, in peace time and in war, are commissioned from among qualified civilians, but most other officers are trained, in part, by the navy. Mathematics and fundam ental science a re an essential part in this training, and if the colleges would serve in this program they should turn out more young men prepared in these fundamentals . Editor's note-The fine quality of Dr. Roots' careful analysis impressed all who heard him. This speech on the Training of Naval Officers was a part of the reunion luncheon held Monday, June 1st at the Mayfair Hotel. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

College, First Term, Summer, '42 A recent questionnaire distributed among the summer students of Morningside reveals some interesting information. The total number of registrations is 140. One hundred two have attended Morningside previously, of them 87 have taken regular college work, 30 have taken summer courses, 10 have taken extension courses, 3 have taken normal training at Morningside. Six of the students have had no college credit before attending this summer; 20 have from 1-29 hours; 18 from 30-59; 20 from 60-89; 22 from 90-99; 14 have over 100 hours credit but do not have a degree while 13 have degrees. Some did not report on this item. During the past year 67 attended Morningside College (12 during the second semester only). Eighteen were in attendance at some other college or university, total of 13 institutions being represented. The greatest number, three, transferred from University of Nebraska. Grinnell, University of Iowa, and Iowa State College each contributed two. One each came from Universities of Cincinnati, Wisconsin, So. Dakota, and Chicago and from Briar Cliff, Trinity, Wayne State Teachers, Northwestern Jr. College and Compton Jr. College. Two freshmen have entered from Central High and two from East High, Sioux City. Thirty-four of the summer school students were teaching during the past year. Eleven were located in elementary schools in Sioux City, eleven in elementary grades out of Sioux City, eight in rural schools and four in high schools. Eight students were neither attending school nor t eaching. Twenty-three of the present summer student body attended the 1941 summer session of Morningside, 18 of them for the entire 10 weeks' session. The reasons for attending this summer are varied. Thirty-five reported that they were attending to accelerate their program so that they could complete their course earlier on account of present world conditions. Of these, five were not in attendance at Morningside last year and six attended Morningside last summer. Twelve entered college at mid-year and are taking summer work to catch up the one semester's work. Five are carrying a a part time schedule during the year and are making up the additional work during the summer. Six are taking courses to gain needed additional credit on account of having changed courses, having received unsatisfactory grades, etc. Thirty-one are taking courses primaril y to complete requirements for a teaching certificate or a degree. Thirteen are taking courses primarily to renew a teaching certificate and six are reinstating a teaching certificate that has expired. Five are taking summer work to enrich their course beyond that obtained during the regular four years while 10 report taking courses simply because they are interested in their content. Eleven state that they originally planned to complete their work in three years by attending summer school and they were not influenced by the present world situation. Eight did not divulge their reasons for attending. REUNIONS & REUNIONS Miss Dimmitt aptly termed the Reunion luncheon held on June 1st at the Mayfair as a Reunion of Reunions, a Reunion within a Reunion, Reunion of Classes, Reunion of Families, Reunion of Friends. Under the leadership of Professor Van Horne's committee, the classes of '02, '07, '12, '17, '22, '27, ' 32 and '37 held their reunions at separate tables. The program paid tribute to the work of the four alumni who were honored by the College in the granting of Honorary degrees on Tuesday. The recollections of school days and the deep appreciation of the place each had made for himself in the life of his community were the underlying currents of presentations and responses. Dr. Wm. Jepson was presented by Dr. T. C. Stephens, Dr. O'Donoghue by Miss Dimmitt, Rev. Don Walton by John Kolp, Dr. Ralph Root by Professor Robt. N. Van Horne, and Leon Hickman, commencement speaker, by Dr. Roadman. The genial warmth of "Gus" Quirin, toastmaster, added a fine note of fellowship which made all feel the pleasure of having a common love for Morningside College. No. 10 '22 PLANS FOR FUTUR.E The Class of '22 at its 20th anniversary was pleased to find that they had the largest reunion group. To add to the pleasure of meeting and seeing old friend s so widely scattered, was the common spirit that Morningside College for them symbolized in a very real way many of the ideals for which the allied nations are now fighting. The pleasures of enduring fri endships was very real to the fifteen members of the class. Under the leadership of Lloyd and Ruth Scheerer funds had been provided to rehabilitate the sundial, which has stood so mutely on the front lawn through the twenty years. It has now been moved to the Dormitory lawn and fittingly r ededicated by an appropriate ceremony to perretually by day or night assist in the proper timing of human events so that the glory and greatness of Morningside may ever increase. Returning Morningsiders will note by moonlight that cupid's arrow points directly to the heart of the Dormitory. The class of '22 will meet again in five years and through the medium of a Round Robin Letter keep in closer touch with each other. The class hereby sticks out its neck and challenges all comers to produce a greater returning group or to enjoy the meeting more richly. MISSING IN ACTION All Morningside students were saddened to hear that James Wagner, Ex '42, had been "reported missing in action" in the Phillippines. We quote from a letter received from his mother: "James was employed by Dr. J. J. Krall of Tyndall, So. Dak., after leaving Morningside, and then went to California in March, 1940, where he was employed by the Shell Oil Co. He enlisted in the army at Sioux Falls, So. Dak., on September 16, 1941, going to Fort Snelling, Minnesota. After two weeks, he was sent to Fort McDowell, Angel Island, California. He volunteered for duty in the Philippines, and sailed on October 27th, reaching Manila on November 20th, shortly before the war broke. Since then, we have had but one letter, dated February 15th, and reaching here March 31st. It had no address, and he could give no information. This was all we had received until the official notice came from the war department." Published monthly from September to June, inclusive, by Morningside College. Entered February 13, 1911, at Sioux City, Iowa, as second class matter under Act of Congress, August 21, 1912. Page 2 LIVING ENDOWMENT The Morningside College Living Endowment Fund, of which Leon Hickman is Chairman, presented Morningside College with cash and pledges totaling $1,892. These total cash contributions amount to the same a s $37,840 of 5% living endowment. The presentation was made to the College by Harry Benz of Athens, Ohio, who was also a member of the Alumni Committee. The following Morningsiders have made contributions: 1899 and 1939-E. C.

COUNSELORS HONORED AT COMMENCEMENT The commissioning of the Counselors of Morningside College was a unique addition to the commencement program on June 2nd. In an impressive ceremony conducted by Mr. John Kolp, Vice President of the Board of Trustees, and President E. A. Roadman, thirty-six counselors were awarded their commissions and received the charge to the counselors. They were assisted by Mr. Carrol Smith and Dr. J. V. Madison of Sioux City. The remaining counselors who June, 1942 were prevented from attending by the press of business and difficulties of travel, have received their certificates of commission by mail. Following the commencement exercises, the counselors, their wives, recipients of honorary degrees, faculty, and board members, all joined in a luncheon at the Mayfair Hotel. Over one hundred attended. Speakers at the luncheon were Mr. Ernest Raun of Sioux City, chairman of the Counselors of the Sioux City district, Mr. Roy Snyder, of Humboldt, Chairman of the Counselors of the Fort Dodge District, Bishop J. Ralph Magee of Des Moines, Mr. Leon Hickman of Pittsburgh, President E. A. Roadman and the Reverend Walter Breaw of Humboldt, first Counselor to secure a $1,000 gift for the new program. Dean George E. Hill acted as toastmaster. The program was arranged by a committee headed by Prof. Mendal B. Miller. EVERYBODY TO VOTE IN OCTOBER Under the chairmanship of Wm. Wolle, '20, plans are being made for a wider participation in Morningside affairs by assisting in the annual election. A ballot will appear in the October issue of the News letter. The choice of regional and class representatives as well as the election of the executive committee and officers is being studied by the committee. Won't you help by sending ideas to Mr. Wolle, c/ o Buckwalter Co., Sioux City, Iowa. TRAINING OF NAVAL OFFICERS It is now evident to all that Amer ica has been blind to the terrible dangers threatened by the conspirators of Berlin, Rome and Tokio. There have been some among us who warned us; military and naval authorities who urged the need for greater defense preparation; but the blindfold skillfully and treacherously placed by the conspirators limited our defense efforts. I will not preach to you about the lesson we should learn, for I could not preach; I will not lecture you for I could not lecture. (In fact, I doubt if a democracy can ever learn this lesson.) But I wish to tell you something about the Navy. In peace time it is the business of the Navy to be always ready to fight; to be aware of the latest naval developments abroad, to maintain the best in material and the most adequately trained personnel. It requires five years to make a battleship and at least thirty-five years to train an admiral. A war must be fought largely with the navy that is ready (Continued on page 8) HARLAND L. MOSSMAN, A TRIBUTE We have brought him home to r est, h er e in the atmosphere of this college which was so dear to his heart, here in this sacred place where sleeps his father, his mother and his sister. We were boys together, and I enjoyed the enriching experience of intimate association with him throughout his lifetime. We were fellow-students in Mo.r ningside College which honored him with the degrees of Bachelor or Arts and Master of Arts, and later at Creighton University where he received his professional training and the degree of Bachelor of Laws. He had a passion for justice, and an instinctive aversion to the artifices and sophistries by which it is sometimes thwarted. Genuine, sincere, forthright, he was intolerant of sham and pretense, of hypocrisy and artificiality. , His sound scholarship and his excellent professional talents made him a powerful and effective advocate, a wise and prudent counselo.r . True to his convictions, actuated always by a high idealism, unswerving in his devotion to every cause which he believed to be just-and he would espouse no other-he commanded the r·espect of the judges of the courts and of his fellow-members of the bar. He kept his record clean, and held his standard high. He never "bent the hinges of the knee that gain might follow fawning". His was the stuff of which heroes are made. Stricken at age fifty with an incurable malady while he was still approaching the fullness of his powers, just as he about to come into the larger enjoyment of the fruits of worthy and high-minded effort, and to realize the rewards of fine professional attainment, for eight long years he carried on with fortitude and courage, with cheerfulness and good humor, and with no lack nor any loss of faith in the inherent goodness in the universe. He was a man of honor, a delightful companion, a well-beloved friend. He did justly and he loved mercy and he walked humbly with his God. "Friendship binds the worlds togetherWorld over there, world over here, From earth to heaven is the tether That brings the earth and heaven near And makes them both a bit more dear. To all eternity he binds us; He links the planet and the star; H e rides ahead, the trail he finds us, And where h e is and where we are Will never seem again so far ." -Raymond G. Young Editor's note: The above tribute to Mr. Mossman was a part of the funeral service held in Grace Church on May 25. Internment was in Graceland Cemetery. Mr. Mossman's influence will be long felt among his classmates, friends and associates. June, 1942 America's Finest Hour By Leon E. Hickman, '22 Address at Forty-ninth Annual Commencement, Morningside College, June 2, 1942, Grace Methodist Church. President Roadman, friends of Morningside College, members of the Class of 1942: Because this is such an important occasion in your lives and in the lives of your fathers and mothers, I deeply appreciate the honor of being invited to speak on this commencement program, the forty-ninth in the history of Morningside College. Once upon a time-oh, a great many years ago-I, too, was a member of a g raduating class at this college. We, too, had a commencement program. At leas t I think we did. My uncertainty stems from the fact that I cannot remember a word that the commencement speaker spoke, a single idea that he developed, or even the subject of his remarks. Frankly, I had to be prompted to remember his name. I get a certain cold comfort from the implications of these lapses of memory. They r elieve the tension and appear to assure me that if the commencement speaker does not take himself too seriously no one else will. At all events, I trust you will spare me the crowning ignominy heaped upon a well known speaker a few days ago at a commencement prog ram in the vicinity of Pittsburgh. The members of the graduating class of that college, listening with the rapt attention to which I have alluded, found time to run a pool on the length of the speaker's talk. If I were to t ell you tha t thirty-one minutes was the winning ticket, you would have such a good tip on this morning 's prog ram that it ought to forestall a r epetition of the incident. One of my classmates who is a Methodist minister and within the sound of my voice at this moment- I shall mention no names-has a .rather rational viewpoint on this problem of audience and speaker r elationships. He t ells me that he does not object if members of his congrega tion sleep during his sermons if only they drop off before h e starts to preach. That relieves him of all r esponsibility. I bring to this occasion m any memories of Morningside, all wholly pleasant. I g rew up in this community. I met my wife at Morningside College. I assume that there was p:recedent for such extra-curricula r activity before I discover ed it. At least John Kolp's remarks would tend to confirm that belief. It is barely possible that such things still happen. A picture on the societ y page of this morning's J ournal-Trib- une would indicate as much. I remember with warm affection those faculty members who labored most over me-Marsh, Campbell, and Schneider, of sacred memo.ry, Van Horne, Stephens, Dimmitt, and Mills, to mention only a few. I know you share with me a deep regret that one member of your faculty is closing his term of active duty today after thirty years of devoted and effective service. I refer to my friend of twenty-five years standing, that splendid man and inspired coach, Jason M. Saunderson, our own beloved "Saundy". I know we are one in wishing him years of health and happiness, relieved of the annual and sometimes troublesome chore of putting "South Dakota in the hole." Among the deep and abiding loyalties of life are those that center around one's college and one's schoolmates. On the first Tuesday of every June the hearts and thoughts of every person who has ever attended this institution return once more to this campus to wish for every member of the graduating class the very best that life may hold in the years that are ahead. The eyes of all your friends, and they are legion, are on the Class of 1942 with a particular intensity, because yours is destined to be an historic and heroic role. The next ten year s will mold the pattern of the world for the next century and well may det ermine America's role in world affairs for all t ime. The perils of the war will only be exceeded by the pitfalls of the peace ; and you will be in the thick of it all. Within the next twelve months member s of this class will perform their high duties a s citizens of this r epublic with the armed f or ces of our country in Australia, in China, in North Africa, in the British Isles, and in west ern E urope. And an equally heroic part will be performed by those members of this class who serve their country by unheralded duties on our f arms, in our factories, in our schools, and elsewhere. This will be particularly true of the women of this class, who will perform these high duties with .h ea rts anxious for their loved ones. Yours indeed, will be a role that will t est your mettle. But I do not bring you sympathy, because these high duties will call upon all that is best in your nature. Winst on Churchill did not r each his present st ature unt il E ngland's moment of di- Page 3 rest peril, nor the British people their true nobility until all was lost save honor. In the next ten years you will participate in three momentous decisions: ( 1) the determination of what nations are to survive this holocaust, (2) the determination of the nature of the economic security that America can work out for her citizens in the postwar years, and (3) the determination of the pattern of our postwar inter national relationships. I shall not dwell upon the first of these matters-the winning of the war-for the issue is crystal clear, the peril imminent, obvious and appreciated. This war will decide one simple and tremendous issue and no other: namely, what nations are to survive. In six months we have lost more soldiers than in any previous six months of our history. In that same six months we have lost more battles, more ships, more territory, more prestige, than in any similar period. Coast wise shipping has suffered prohibitive losses from submarines within sight of our shores. And yet I have confidence for a danger fully appreciated is half mastered. We shall fight the enemy with everything we have. We shall fight him in our homes, on our farms and in our factories. W e shall seek him out wherever he may be, on and under the seas, in the skies, in the Orient, in North Africa, and on the continent of Europe. And if we persevere, we and the twenty-six nations with whom we are allied, representing three-fourths of the world's populat ion, shall triumph in due season. It cannot be otherwise, for when t wo na tions seek to enslave the world the hand of ever y other living being is raised in self- defen se. But when we have won the wa r and established our right t o live, we shall ha ve settled absolutely nothing else. We and those united with us will have earned merely the r ight to r ebuild our own postwar economy and to rebuild a new set of inte rnational relationships. Perhaps you r ecall that during the Christmas recess of your junior year much of the Old City of London was razed by a series of deadly German a ttacks. The Inns of Cou rt, ancient cathedrals, and slums were dest r oyed in one indiscriminat e series of assault s. Ultimately those defending the city were able to bring the fires under control and wer e once more the master s of their city. But nothing r emained but ruins. The pattern of the Old City of London as it will exist after the war was in no wise disclosed by the extinguishment of the fires. Whether t he Old City of London, as it will exist t omorrow, will include Inns of Court, cathedrals, modern housing, or slums will depend entirely upon the use to which those who put out the fires put their opportunities. To bring the matter nearer home, it is as t hough t wo contending forces had battled Page 4 for two or three years for control of Sioux City and at the close of the battle had leveled the buildings on this campus along with the rest of the city. The victor would acquire not a flourishing city but a shambles. The intelligence with which he rebuilt the city would determine whether the victory was more than Pyrrhic. So it will be with the victors who inherit a world with no peacetime economy and no international relationships except the expedient alliances of war.

We can resolve the complexmay r ead an enunciation of it in no less a ities over a period of centuries but unless document than the Atlantic Charter. we build the foundations now we shall have History should have taught both the no chance to work on the superstructure. As I see it, the fundamentals of a just and British Empire and the United States that intelligent and peaceful relationship be- their rule, benevolent though it may be, is tween nations are two: ( 1) a world of free only slightly more acceptable to alien peo- ples than German rule. We did not like British rule when we had it, and the British dominions have struggled long and effectively to obtain complete self-government and the acknowledged right of secession from the Empire. The Malayans, the Burmese and the Indians have added their voice of protest to the comparatively tolerant overlordship of the British. Peace in the Orient can be founded but little more securely on British rule than Japanese. But let us not be smug about the reaction of other peoples to British rule, for American rule finds no more acceptance than that of our English cousins. Our r elationships with our South and Central American neighbors and with Mexico were notoriously poor until we learned to treat them as free men and our equals. We did poorly with the Philippines despite all the education and the wealth that we lavished upon that country until our Congress recognized that status of those people as free men. The only enduring foundation upon which a postwar world can be built will be one based upon a free China, a free India, a free Russia and a free Europe. By freedom I do not mean a country formed in our own imagine, but rather one governed in whatever way and by whatever form is compatible with the consent of the governed. And let us ponder carefully before we deny to the Germans and the Japanese the status of a free people. It will be a great temptation to inflict upon both people a status of subjugation which their conduct so richly merits. But if such a status were to be inflicted on us, we should never rest until we had thrown it off. Would the Japanese and the Germans do less? I doubt it. If this war is to be a st ep toward a just and intelligent postwar world, the voice of America must speak out for a world of free men. Let us r enounce, as we have always r enounced, a career of imperialism for ourselves. If the postwar world needs policing, as we know it shall, let the seventyfive percent of the world which shall participate in winning the war do that policing in the same spir it of equality and fraternity which prevails while they are a t war . Professor Coss can analyze the chemical qualities of the blood of any animal and identify one from the other. The blood of the cow, the horse, the hog differs one from the other. It is not so with the blood of human beings. The scientist does not live who can identify the differences in the blood of the white man, the yellow man, the brown man, the red man and the black man, for there aren't any differences. The races of the world are equal, not merely chemically, but in the eyes of our Heavenly Father, who created them. This ought to be good doctrine at Morn- June, 1942 ingside College, st eeped as it is in the tradition of Wilson Seeley Lewis, Stanley Carson, and some eighty other missionaries who have gone forth from this college n ot only to preach but to live the brotherhood of man. And an equally significant contribution has been made to Morningside by those students of Chinese birth who have graced nearly every student generation in this College. My wife and I have entertained in our home graduates of this college of Chinese birth, not in any spirit of condescension, but humbled and honored by the presence of these fine people in our home. The second fundamental of a just, intelligent and peaceful relationship between the nations is foreshadowed by the first. If we are to have a world of free people, it can only endure by recognizing that nations are not only independent but interdependent. Certainly one does not need to labor to a college audience the premise that the world is an economic unit or that national frontiers mean nothing to the airplane, the radio and the telephone or to medicine, art or literature. The world economy has outgrown fifty or sixty national political frontiers buttressed by protective tariffs and maintained in the spirit of a Chinese Wall or a Maginot Line. The vanishing rubber tires on the car in which you drove to this Commencement illustrate the point well enough. We failed to learn the lesson of the last war that the peoples of the world are truly interdependent, one upon the other. America's course was chartered by the cynical and embittered observation of Henry Cabot Lodge that "We asked for nothing and we got exactly what we asked for." Tired and disillusioned, America followed the path of isolation, of protective tariffs, of unilat eral disarmament, of embargoes, and of an abortive neutrality between the g reat issues that were rocketing the world to another war. As late as Dunkerque we were still pursuing this policy, selling our commodit ies to the highest bidder for cash on the barrel head. France pursued a similar policy and created for herself an imaginary world behind a Maginot Line, which in basic concept was the Chinese Wall all over again. And so it went throughout the world, fifty some nations fencing off their own little garden spot and acting in utter indifference to the problems of every other people ! History does n ot justify making nationalism a r elig ion or a fetish. Man's conception of geographical boundaries has ever been an expanding one. At one time men lived in caves, each a law unto himself . In due time the individual was subor dinated to the family, the family to the clan and the clans formed tribes the better to defend their pastures that extended from one range of hills to the n ext or to a river too deep to ford. Ultimately the rivers were bridged and as a consequence tribes confederated, and as confederation succeeded it was followed by states and finally by nations. The same inexorable logic that drove the tribe into a federation with its neighboring tribe across the river is driving all nations into a world-embracing confederation. American history affords a pattern of this development. When the thirteen original states were persuaded of Franklin's dictum that they must hang together or hang separately, they tried confederation. When confederation failed they had the good judgment to realize that failure grew out of the delegation of too few powers, not too many. The confederation was followed by a national union, vitalized by a delegation of k ey powers. The two most significant delegations of power were those over interstate commerce and over the Army and the Navy. The delegated power over interstate commerce gives you access to the steel production of Pittsburgh and brings to my table the produce of the Iowa farm. Can you even conceive of a political order within these United States that would permit armies to face each other on the borders of Iowa and Nebraska, or Iowa and South Dakota. And now the same inexorable logic which drove the American states to recognize their interdependence upon each other drives the nations of the world to delegate to a common international agency a large measure of control over such armies and navies as will be permitted to exist in the postwar world and to some international agency and authority to k eep open the channels of international trade. Unless we recognize our interdependence upon each other we will continue in the same old destructive pattern. We can and have ruined the sugar industr y of Cuba by a protective tariff, and foreign nations can and have ruined the foreign markets of the Unit ed States' agricultural and other pr oducts by protective tariffs of their own. Each nation attempts to help itself at t he expense of the other. Isn't it about time that we get as much sense as the old tribesmen at the .river's edge and r ealize that as long as we can both cross the river we had better reach an under standing? I r ealize t h at this is strong m edicine for America. We ar e more nearly self-sufficient than any other nation and the t emptation to try to go it alone is great. It will be easy to defeat, by differences over details, a program such as I have envisioned. We can not accomplish our ultimate objective overnight. We must be patient and longsighted. We must confine ourselves to fundamentals and start with a simple program on which most of u s can a gree. It Page 5 is an evolutionary process. The nations of the world must learn to walk together before they can run together. I share the fears and prejudices so common among us. And yet common sense tells us that the interdependence of nations is so obvious that a program of international cooperation in matters of trade and policing is both inevitable and desirable. Our frame of mind is not unlike that of the farmer who was being urged by a salesman to buy a book on agriculture for $2.98. When the farmer showed evidences of sales resistence, the salesman explained at length that the tome dwelt in detail on exactly how to plant, cultivate and harvest corn, wheat, oats, and, indeed, all the worthwhile crops. But the farmer was adamant, and when pressed for the r eason for his refusal to buy such a worthwhile book, said "You couldn't possibly interest m e in such a book. What you don't realize is that I alr eady know three times a s much about farming as I put into practice." Well, don't we all? We are the victims of our fears and prejudices. We worry about Russia and overlook entirely the fact t hat she was the str ongest of all advocates of collective security in the period between the two wars. When the war is over, our fears and prejudices will be buttressed by an inevitable rea ction. Again we shall be tried and disillusioned. Our national debt will be staggering and the argument will be strongly pressed that we should eliminate all commitments in any part of the world beyond our own shores. We yielded to these f eelings following the last war. We took the easy r oad; and it ended at P earl Harbor. We must not take it again. We must rise above our feelings, our prejudices and our fears and take the route that our reason t ells us must be t raveled. The great periods in American history have all been the hard ones. Call the roll and you find Valley Forge, the Constitutional Convention, the Civil War, to mention but a few. The easy road produces a Laval; the h ard road a Churchill. If America has the stamina and th e moral fibre to remember that in winning the war we do no more than establish our right to survive, that we have only put out the fire but have not r ebuilt the city; if America can withstand the heady wine of power and remember that the peoples of the world have the same yearning for free dom as do we and that all of the r aces of the world are entitled to be treated a s equals; if America can follow in the pathway charted by h er own thirteen original states and remember that interdependent nations must trade with one another and, perforce, renounce th e right to maintain Page 6 whatever they choose of armed forces, the better to settle disputes between nations in whatever way best serves the purposes of the strongest; if America can chart such a course in the years immediately following this war and during the time when she will be under the greatest pressure to travel the easy road which seems to avoid these problems, she will have achieved her finest hour. This ought not to be a hard doctrine for an audience trained in the tradition of Morningside, a college that has sent scores of missionaries to the foreign field, a college that has numbered dozens of foreign students among her student body, a college that has Hwa Nan for a sister college. The relationship of Morningside College with the peoples of other lands is one of the golden pages in the history of this school. I have a trembling hope that America will lead the way in bringing about a world of free peoples, organized in recognition of the interdependence of one people upon another. If we can begin to walk that road, this war will not have been fought in vain. At a time like this I am reminded of the statement of the late Justice Oliver Wendell Holmes, who once said: "I think it not improbable that man, like the grub that prepares a chamber for the winged thing it never has seen but is to be-that man may have cosmic destinies that he does not understand." I have an unshakable faith that this is true and that our nation-indeed, that you and I-can contribute mightily to that destiny if we but will it so. My dream of an America fulfilling this high role was pictured to my mind the other evening as I was walking toward the west on one of the ridges that overlook my city. The sky was aflame with the golden hues of the setting sun. But as I watched the sun disappear over the horizon I began to see below the skyline, like a note of gloom, a pallid discord that came from little clusters of electric lights, to be seen, as the twilight deepened, first here, then there. I thought of the symbolism of the picture. The sun is sinking, and from these electric bulbs, clustered like little eggs, will come the new masters of the sky. It was like the day in which we are living. But, then, as I remembered the faith that I partly have expressed, faith in an America reborn in the crucible of this war, faith in an America whose acts will be measured not by its fears and its weaknesses, faith that the peoples of all the world are marching, however slowly, toward a destiny of freedom, equality and peace, faith in a universe of thought and purpose, I gazed after the sunset and above the electric lights, and there shown the stars! June, 1942 BESSIE REED WALTON SPEAKS AS A TRUE MORNINGSIDER It is difficult for me to express the great joy that it is for Don and me to be here with you. In fact, I can not imagine any ·occasion that could have made us more happy. It will be something to which we will look back with pleasure for the rest of our lives. Recently we heard Dr. and Mrs. Peale tell of an experience while assisting with the filming of Dr. Spence's life story, "One Foot In Heaven". Mrs. Peale said that they were a bit nervous about having dinner at the home of Frederick March, since a clergyman's ways might not be the ways of Hollywood. The Peales arrived and rang the March doorbell. They were greeted by a small boy dressed in pajamas, who said, "Good evening, Dr. and Mrs. Peale. I'm Tony March. I'm so glad you have come. Won't you come in?" Then heaving a great sigh of relief, he exclaimed, "Oh boy, am I glad that's over. I've been rehearsing that all afternoon". In this case, Mr. Obrecht, who was supposed to make this speech, did all the rehearsing, and I have the speech to make. I fully believe we are largely what circumstances make us. Don and I found ourselves very lonely in our great city of New York. As we were doing our work there in a parish of a quarter of a million people, there was not a familiar face - no Ray Toothaker or Leon Hickman-all strangers. There is no greater loneliness than that caused by the impact of strangers or foreigners who do not speak our language. In this situation we sought out our old Morningside friends, and have been meeting with them on the average of three times a year for almost twenty years. Bob Dolliver said that it is the best organization to which he has ever belonged, for all we do is eat and gossip. It is really amazing to know a Pi could be so nice when you have been a Zet, or how grand that tall football player is when you kept company with a minister while in Morningside. These fine friendships have been so wholesome and worthwhile all through these many years. While attending one of these meetings, Leon Hickman evolved the idea of an alumni organization which would stimulate a closer relationship between all alumni and the college. A committee was appointed to study the problem and endeavor to work out a plan to assist the college and stimulate a more active alumni agency. We hoped for a medium by which we could keep in close touch with Morningside. We wanted to know the intimate side of the college all through the year and not merely receive an annual letter telling about the college's financial needs. The committee was Leon Hickman, Harry Benz, David Wickens, Mrs. Nellie Carpenter Winter and myself. By means of many progressive meetings and voluminous correspondence during the past year, this All-Morningside Committee drew up plans which were mailed to all the alumni we could reach. At the present time we wish to report that we have $1,892.00 to give to the college. This is the gift of 73 persons and represents an endowment of $37,840.00. If each one of us 5,000 alumni could do even a little bit, we would help in so many ways to accomplish our common purpose. On Mother's Day our Mary came to me with a little gift she had made. In an apologetic tone she presented the gift with these words, "It isn't much, Mother, but I love you". Wouldn't it be grand if each one of us could send a little gift to Mother Morningside because we love her? COLLEGE HONORS FOUR ALUMNI Honorary Degrees A warded at Commencement One of the two surviving members of the Class of '91, first graduates of the institution, and the surviving member of the Class of '93 were among the four alumni honored as recipients of honorary degrees at the 1942 commencement. Dr. William Jepson, '91, noted surgeon and medical educator of Sioux City was awarded the LL. D., Dr. James H. O'Donoghue, '93, former faculty member of the University of the Northwest, surgeon, of Storm Lake, Iowa, was awarded the D. Sc. degree. A unique feature of Dr. O'Donoghue's presentation was that it was made by his son, Dr. Arch O'Donoghue, of Sioux City. Dr. Ralph E. Root, '05, Professor of mathematics and mechanics in the Postgraduate School of the United States Naval Academy received the degree of D. Sc. The Reverend Donald J. Walton, '17, for twentytwo years pastor of the DeWitt Memorial Church in New York City, and leader of an unusual mission center, was granted the D. D. degree. Dr. Jepson was presented for the degree by Dr. Prince Sawyer of Sioux City. Dr. Root was presented by Professor Robert N. VanHorne of the College. Rev. Walton was presented by his classmate, the Reverend Walter L. Breaw of Humboldt, Iowa. June, 1942 WITH OUR BOYS will begin preliminary flight training at one of the naval reserve aviation bases.

We are inclined to think of the navy in terms of the sailing of ships and the firin g of guns. But, in fact, the navy is also a g reat educational institution. Naval officers are responsible for the training of enlisted men, and the officers themselves undergo training and education throughout their naval careers. Advancement from grade to grade requires rigid examinations, and, at most grades, prior selection. Eliminations occur all along the line, and no profession is more continuously "on its toes". No man is fit to be an admiral until he has won his way through all the lower grades, and experienced the problems of those· he commands. In peace time scholastic education in the navy, as you would think of education, is carried on at the Naval Academy, at the Postgraduate School, and at the War College. With the possible exception of West Point, the Naval Academy at Annapolis is more truly representative of the whole country than any other institution. Each cong ressman and senator appoints his quota from among his own constituents, and the President appoints a limited number, usually from the District of Columbia and from the sons of naval officers. These, tog ether with the enlisted men who qualify, limited to one hundred per year, constitute the student body. All take the same course, except that some take French, some German, and some Spanish. The course h a s ab out the same scholastic value as a four year engineering course, with a little less of theory and a little more of traning and di scipline, with some special naval matters replacing more general engineering . The r esult is a body of alert, self-reliant young men, well disciplined physically and mentally, each with a bachelor's degree and a commission as Ensign. After about six years at sea, the y oung officer, now a lieutenant (junior grade ) may apply for, and be ordered to, postgraduate instruction in some specialty-communications,' ordnance, aero logy , engineering, aeronautics, etc. This work is a dministered from the Postgradua te School at Annapolis, and much of the instruction is given there with buildings and faculty distinct from the Naval Academy, but arrangements are made for certain groups to take part or all of their advanced work at universities or t echnical schools. Perhaps from one fourth to one half of each class has postgraduate work for one o.r more years. It is an integ ral part of the naval training , and the student officer draws his pay regularly. Long before Pearl Harbor the movement toward a "two-ocean navy" required more officers than regular channels could provide. Reserve officers have been called in, and many college men and specialists have been given reserve commissions. All training programs have been greatly expanded. Doctors, dentists and chaplains, in peace time and in war, are commissioned from among qualified civilians, but most other officers are trained, in part, by the navy. Mathematics and fundam ental science a re an essential part in this training, and if the colleges would serve in this program they should turn out more young men prepared in these fundamentals . Editor's note-The fine quality of Dr. Roots' careful analysis impressed all who heard him. This speech on the Training of Naval Officers was a part of the reunion luncheon held Monday, June 1st at the Mayfair Hotel.  Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

The Morningsider Volume 35, Number 05 was published for the month of January in 1942. The condition of this issue is not great, due to its problems and concerns. These include having been folded incorrectly, so the pages stick out wrong and aren't in a uniform order at all. Also, the binding is worn and torn in most places, along with rips and tears along the outside of the pages. There's also three crease lines on all the pages, suggesting it had been folded either into fourths or into half and then thirds. The issue is not well off, but it's still in fairly good condition.

The answer to this question is found in the organization of a group known as Morningside College Counselors. This group consists of the influential laymen living in Northwest Iowa. From this organization many suggestions will be given the college administration which will be of benefit in furthering the advance of the College, and in turn the counselors will become more familiar with Morningside College and its effect on the surrounding territory. This organization will consist of from 100 to 125 men. The ground work for the organization of this group was laid when during the week of January 5 one meeting was held in each district of the Northwest Iowa Conference. The organizing meetings were directed by various members of the Board of Trustees, faculty, and college administrative staff. Meetings were held in Primghar, Ft. Dodge, Algona, and Sioux City on successive nights. At these meetings, to which a number of counselor nominees had been invited, the district leaders were chosen who would organize the counselors in their own district. The men chosen at the meetings were: Primghar, Earl Burgess; Ft. Dodge, Roy Snyder; Algona, C. R. Schoby, and Sioux City, Ernest Raun. These men are working diligently to organize their subcommittees and to aid in the Morningside College Program of Advance. At each of these meetings the Morningside College Program of Advance was explained. The explanation included (a) the needs of the College, (b) plans of the College, and (c) plan of financing, At each meeting it was agreed that (a) the needs were evident, (b) the plan was feasible, and ( c) the financing was possible. After the organization of the district, the various divisions of the district will be organized so that the work will be spread evenly over the entire conference area. Meetings have already been held at Ida Grove, Moville, LeMars, Mapleton, and Sioux City. The plan is to hold additional organizing meetings throughout the month DR. SCHNEIDER DIES of February, thus, covering all of the twenty-four sub-districts of the conference. All in all it is felt that the steps thus far taken are big ones and certainly in the right direction. The death of Dr. F. W. Schneider occurred at East Lansing, Michigan, on December 18, 1941. Funeral services were held at East Lansing December 20 and the interment was at Berea, Ohio, on December 21. ALL OUT FOR VICTORY The members of the family and their many friends knew for some time that his health had failed. Nevertheless his death came as a great shock to all. Again, we try to give you the last whereabouts of former Morningsiders who are doing their duty for their country in army camps and in the air corps, etc. Walter Higby, '38, writes that he is now stationed with the 95th Bomb Squadron, Pendleton Field, Oregon. Joel Geister, ex '42, is now stationed with Class 42-C at Kelly Field, Texas. Jerry McCoy, Ex '43, is in training at Bakersfield, Calif. Leonard Nelson, '41, left on January 5th to join the Coast Artillery. Howard D. Noyd, '37, is an instructor in the Supply Clerks School at Fort F. E. Warren, Wyo. He also reports that Marlyn Pederson, '40, Donald Hileman, '37, and Max Allender, Ex '40, are also stationed at Fort F. E. Warren. Donovan Leopold, Ex '42, received his commission from Kelly Field on October 31st and is now an instructor at San Angelo, Texas. Odell Woods, Ex '42, is also stationed at San Angelo field as an instructor. No word has been received from Melvin McKnight, Ex '42, who was stationed at Nicholas Field, at Manilla. Walter Hurd, '40, was last heard from in a cablegram received by his parents. It said, "I am 0. K." That was all. No indication was given as to where he is. The last previous word from him had come from Guam before the outbreak of the war. Henry Schunck, '39, is at Fort Warren, Wyoming. Al Strozdas, '40, and Wayne Huff, '38, are in Officer's Training School at Ft. Bening, Ga. Marj Bock, '41, who is an army nurse has been transferred from Camp Robinson, Arkansas, to Jefferson Barracks, Missouri. It is not possible to state in words the loss humanity has suffered in the passing of this great man. He worked for the good of all and the number of his students at his funeral and their testimony express his greatness. Dr. Schneider had arranged the exercises for the services used at the funeral of Prof. H. G. Campbell. This program was used at East Lansing. Robert Van Horne Editor's Note: Professor Van Horne was selected by President Roadman to officially represent the college at the funeral. Dr. Schneider retired from active duties as Vice President of Morningside in June, 1936, and became Professor Emeritus of Bible and Religion. "M" CLUB PICTURES The "M" Club is very proud of their new room for which they have just purchased a trophy case. The team pictures which have formerly been crowded into the trophy cases of Main Hall have been placed in the "M" room. Here the visiting Alumni may see those faces familiar on the campus yesterday, which now inspire the present teams to uphold the traditions of Morningside. The Committee is looking for old pictures of former football, basket ball, and track teams to be placed in the trophy case and would appreciate anyone sending pictures for this purpose to Coach Rogers.

Do college educated men and women want to go back to school? D. L. Wickens, '13, thinks they do. On his recent visit to the campus Mr. Wickens discussed with members of the staff the possibility of an "Alumni College" during commencement week next June. Possible methods of organization and topics for discussion were mulled over. The choir reunion and Biology Club banquet of last June have been pointed to as activities of the sort that might be extended to other areas of college work. Would you like to go back to school for a day or two next June? What would you like to have discussed? What alumni do you think would be especially competent to lead or participate in stimulating discussions? Won't you send in your reactions? BE READY! A part of the Morningsider program will be the opportunity for each to have a voice in selecting the Officers of the Association and the Morningsider members on the Board of Trustees of the College. A nominating committee now at work will welcome suggestions. Comments regarding all phases of our program will be welcome. Letters should be addressed to Ira J. Gwinn, in care of Morningside College. The ballot for the 1942-43 election will be given in the next issue of the News Letter.

Morningside Graduates In Graduate Schools A recent study reporting the representation of colleges in graduate and professional schools of the United States* ranks Morningside College high among the colleges of its class. Three hundred thirtyseven accredited colleges and universities were compared as to the proportionate numbers of their 1940 enrollments who were enrolled in graduate schools. Morningside ranks 25th among all 337 institutions in the proportion of its graduates enrolled in graduate schools of theology to its current undergraduate enrollment. Morningside, when compared with the endowed colleges of over 500 students, ranks far above the average in .representation in all forms of graduate work combined. This is an enviable record. It is especially noteworthy in theology and general graduate work in the liberal arts. The extent to which we succeed in encouraging able students to take graduate work is one index of the intellectual vitality of the college. We have much to be proud of! *--B. W.

MORNINGSIDE COLLEGE BULLETIN ALUMNI NEWS Vol. XXXV JANUARY, 1942 No. 5 Counselors to Aid Program of Advance How can a stronger tie of acquaintship and understanding be had between the Morningside campus and Morningside territory? The answer to this question is found in the organization of a group known as Morningside College Counselors. This group consists of the influential laymen living in Northwest Iowa. From this organization many suggestions will be given the college administration which will be of benefit in furthering the advance of the College, and in turn the counselors will become more familiar with Morningside College and its effect on the surrounding territory. This organization will consist of from 100 to 125 men. The ground work for the organization of this group was laid when during the week of January 5 one meeting was held in each district of the Northwest Iowa Conference. The organizing meetings were directed by various members of the Board of Trustees, faculty, and college administrative staff. Meetings were held in Primghar, Ft. Dodge, Algona, and Sioux City on successive nights. At these meetings, to which a number of counselor nominees had been invited, the district leaders were chosen who would organize the counselors in their own district. The men chosen at the meetings were: Primghar, Earl Burgess; Ft. Dodge, Roy Snyder; Algona, C. R. Schoby, and Sioux City, Ernest Raun. These men are working diligently to organize their subcommittees and to aid in the Morningside College Program of Advance. At each of these meetings the Morningside College Program of Advance was explained. The explanation included (a) the needs of the College, (b) plans of the College, and (c) plan of financing, At each meeting it was agreed that (a) the needs were evident, (b) the plan was feasible, and ( c) the financing was possible. After the organization of the district, the various divisions of the district will be organized so that the work will be spread evenly over the entire conference area. Meetings have already been held at Ida Grove, Moville, LeMars, Mapleton, and Sioux City. The plan is to hold additional organizing meetings throughout the month DR. SCHNEIDER DIES of February, thus, covering all of the twenty-four sub-districts of the conference. All in all it is felt that the steps thus far taken are big ones and certainly in the right direction. The death of Dr. F. W. Schneider occurred at East Lansing, Michigan, on December 18, 1941. Funeral services were held at East Lansing December 20 and the interment was at Berea, Ohio, on December 21. ALL OUT FOR VICTORY The members of the family and their many friends knew for some time that his health had failed. Nevertheless his death came as a great shock to all. Again, we try to give you the last whereabouts of former Morningsiders who are doing their duty for their country in army camps and in the air corps, etc. Walter Higby, '38, writes that he is now stationed with the 95th Bomb Squadron, Pendleton Field, Oregon. Joel Geister, ex '42, is now stationed with Class 42-C at Kelly Field, Texas. Jerry McCoy, Ex '43, is in training at Bakersfield, Calif.

Al Strozdas, '40, and Wayne Huff, '38, are in Officer's Training School at Ft. Bening, Ga. Marj Bock, '41, who is an army nurse has been transferred from Camp Robinson, Arkansas, to Jefferson Barracks, Missouri. It is not possible to state in words the loss humanity has suffered in the passing of this great man. He worked for the good of all and the number of his students at his funeral and their testimony express his greatness. Dr. Schneider had arranged the exercises for the services used at the funeral of Prof. H. G. Campbell. This program was used at East Lansing. Robert Van Horne Editor's Note: Professor Van Horne was selected by President Roadman to officially represent the college at the funeral. Dr. Schneider retired from active duties as Vice President of Morningside in June, 1936, and became Professor Emeritus of Bible and Religion.

Do college educated men and women want to go back to school? D. L. Wickens, '13, thinks they do. On his recent visit to the campus Mr. Wickens discussed with members of the staff the possibility of an "Alumni College" during commencement week next June. Possible methods of organization and topics for discussion were mulled over. The choir reunion and Biology Club banquet of last June have been pointed to as activities of the sort that might be extended to other areas of college work. Would you like to go back to school for a day or two next June? What would you like to have discussed? What alumni do you think would be especially competent to lead or participate in stimulating discussions? Won't you send in your reactions? BE READY!

Morningside Graduates In Graduate Schools A recent study reporting the representation of colleges in graduate and professional schools of the United States* ranks Morningside College high among the colleges of its class. Three hundred thirtyseven accredited colleges and universities were compared as to the proportionate numbers of their 1940 enrollments who were enrolled in graduate schools. Morningside ranks 25th among all 337 institutions in the proportion of its graduates enrolled in graduate schools of theology to its current undergraduate enrollment. Morningside, when compared with the endowed colleges of over 500 students, ranks far above the average in .representation in all forms of graduate work combined. This is an enviable record. It is especially noteworthy in theology and general graduate work in the liberal arts. The extent to which we succeed in encouraging able students to take graduate work is one index of the intellectual vitality of the college. We have much to be proud of! *--B. W.

This seems to be the Alumni slogan these days-and it is a fitting one for the program of Alumni advance contemplated in the newly organized Alumni committee headed by Leon Hickman. Right now the committee is writing to a host of Morning siders to enlist their support in an enlarged sponsoring committee for thi s Alumni movement. Ma ybe you h ave r eceived a letter from Mr. Hickman. Will you accept this cha llenging invitation ? Or will you be like the lady who said it was so much easier to pray for her organization t han it was to do something for it? Goodness knows, the committee and the college need your prayers! But the y also need your temporal support. Mr. Hickman and h is committ ee envisage a program of alumni relation to the college built along two very definite lines. First, an y alumni program must include all graduates and all former students of the college. ALL FOR MORNINGSIDE. We present The Roadman Family. Symbolic of family ties associated with the Christmas season and of those ideals for which we are at war. Standin g left t o right: Mr. Arthur Fishbeck, Mrs. Arthur Fishbeck (Pauline Roadman) from Manitowac, Wis.; Dr. J . P. Jones, Joyce Roadman, Dr. Charles Roadman of San Antonio, Texas; Katherine Roadman, Keene Roadman of Washington, D. C. Seated left to right: Dr. Roadman holding Lynn Louise Fishbeck , Mrs. John P. Jones (Earline Roadman) of Oakdale, La.; Mrs. Roadman holding Judy and Marcia Jones. MERRY CHRISTMAS From President Roadman As II begin this greeting to all Morning siders, m y first question is, to whom am I writing? I am quite overwhelmed in the realization that I am writing this to hosts of young men, privates and officers, in our newly formed army that is rapidly scattering to all our far flung stations. I am writing this to men and women who are bearing tremendous burdens of political, educational, religious and social leadership. I am writing to people who are startled because of the seeming contrast between Christmas carols and colossal carnage. Yet I realize that more than all of these phases of contrasting experiences of the moment, I am writing to people who have one area of memory which is so well ex, pressed by the letter which came to my desk this morning from one of our recent alumni in camp who says: "Please give my regards to my friends at MorningsideI guess I regard everyone at Morningside as a personal friend." That is the answer-I am writing people who hold friendship dear, to whom friendship remains as an anchor in the sto.rm, an oasis in the desert and a patch of sunshine amid all tears. Alfred Lunt and Lynn Fontanne presented "There Shall Be No Night" at the Orpheum in Sioux City on Monday, December 15th. "There Shall Be No Night" is quoted from Revelations 22 :5. My word in this greeting is that among college ties and friendships, there is no night. Second, this program must involve full and complete service by the college to its graduates and former students. MORNINGSIDE FOR ALL. That Mo.rningside College needs the continuous, constant intellectual, spiritual, and material support of all Morningsiders goes without saying. That the Morningsiders can gain much from a fuller service to them by the College is not so often recognized. A college is more than the current generation of faculty and students. A college is this plus the great host of former students, whose spiritual, intellectual, and material welfare the college continues to reinforce. In the January ALUMNI NEWS there will be another report on the progress of the ALL MORNINGSIDER committee. In the meantime there are many things that all Morningsiders can do to make their contribution to the greatest alumni program. First, those who live near enough can visit the college, attend college functions, participate in college events. Second, all Morningsiders can join the Alumni Association. Third, all Morningsiders can encourage ( Continued on Page 2) , Published monthly from September to June, inclusive, by Mornings ide College Entered F eb ruary 13, 1911, at Sioux City, Iowa. as second class matter under Act of Congress. August 21. 1912. �Page 2 December, 1941 ALL MORNINGSIDER (Continued from Page 1) worthy young people to attend Morningside. Let the mid-year high school graduates know that they can come to Mo.rningside in February and can get a full program of course work. Fourth, all Morningsiders can lend spiritual support to the College. On the campus there is in the making a great upsurge of spiritual power which can provide the motive and the energy for the development of a Morningside College of un-thought-of influence. Fifth, all Morningsiders can lend the college staff their counsel and advice in the development of the College Program. The obejctives, curriculum and activities of a college are best determined with alumni a ssistance. FORWARD MOVEMENT ENDORSED BY TRUSTEES AND CONFERENCE "I should like now to present an outline of the plan, resources, and personnel for the program of advance for Morningside College." With these words President Roadman placed before the Board of Trustees of the College and of the Northwest Iowa Conference of the Methodist Church in September a ten-year plan for building the Morningside of the Future. This program was uanimously and wholeheartedly endorsed and the first steps are being taken to get it under way. A study of the program which is printed below will show the reasons why this plan for the future can and will be accomplished. Our Morningside alumni will be anxious to study the program and then to ask, "Where Can I Fit In?" FORWARD MOVEMENT OF MORNINGSIDE COLLEGE: I. ADEQUATE PLANT (covering the needs of Morningside College for the next 10 years) A. Building needs 1. Science Hall-The first new unit for which we should work is a new science hall. a. Physics and aviation class rooms and laboratories now in the basement floor of Main Hall. b. Biology class room and laboratory on second floor and east side of Main Hall. c. Chemistry class room and laboratory in the basement of the gymnasium where swimming pool ought to have been. d. Home Economics, no program because of no space. 2. New field house for all physical education and athletic activities. Present gymnasium to be rehabilitated for library (the building is well adapted for library purposes). 3. Boys dorm - housing capacity not over sixty boys in the first unit. B. Financial needs 1. Buildings can only be begun when funds for the erection are on hand. 2. Expansion of program requires living or permanent endowment, which will provide at least $5,000 of income for each new building or added department. II. POSSIBILITIES OF RESOURCES . A. The Alumni group are working on a living endowment program of large significance. B. The Western half of Iowa has more wealth and only one college accredited by the North Central Association as contrasted with the Eastern half which has 12 church related colleges which are accredited. C. A study of the wealth of our territory by towns and counties is amazing. D. The duty of the Board of Trustees and the Administration is to organize and solicit to the very last of our possible resources for: 1. The need of buildings-estimated cost of $400,000. 2. Endowment and debt retirement. a. Living endowment, capitalization ---- $500,000 b. Cash ( 150 individuals to $1,000, etc.) -----$300,000 c. Estate notes -----$500,000 d. Insurance policies $150,000 e. Annuities (very carefully accepted) --$100,000 III. COOPERATIVE PERSONNEL A. Twenty-two subdistrict organizations of ministers, meeting every month, have been the major factor in increasing the Conference's annual contribution to Morningside from $3,800 to $15,000 a year. They have also been a vital factor in more than quadrupling the freshman girls enrollments in the dormitory. B. Laymen in the new church organization are eager for added activities. C. The Northwest Iowa Conference has one of the finest cooperative and closely knit personnel organi·z ations in the world! D. "Not failure but low aim is crime." This program has been enthusiastically approved by the Board of Trustees and an active program has been inaugurated by the trustee committee composed of Dr. John Madison, Dr. Earl Burgess, Lee Barks, Carrol Smith and Harry Norris. As you catch sight of the possibilities, the more this will grow on you. This is why it will succeed. Our Christian Colleges are more important now than ever. The world will need rebuilding. Knowledge and character must be the equipment of the men and women who do it. Morningside can be a greater beacon light in Northwest Iowa than ever before. Our alumni, our friends, and our Churches can help hy helping Morningside move forward. And to you will come again that question "Where Can I Fit In?" *ALL MORNINGSIDER COMMITTEE Bessie Reed Walton, '21 Rev. D. J. Walton, '17 *Other Members of Committee are Camera Shy. Dr. D. L. Wickens, '13 Mayme Hoyt Hickman, '24 �December, 1941 Page 3 BUCKOLZ MEMORIAL SERVICE BASKET BALL SEASON UNDER WAY Our part in this world war was brought closer to home to the Morningside students when a memorial service for Rollie Buckolz, Ex '40, was held on November 12th at the regular Wednesday chapel service in Grace Church on the campus. Rollie was killed July 30th while flying with the Royal Canadian Air Force in England. He had completed one year of training in the Canadian Air Force on June 1st and was home for a two weeks furlough before sailing from Halifax on June 17th. He landed in England on June 30th so was there for one month. Both he and his co-pilot were killed and they were buried together in North Coates Village cemetery. The Air Ministry has sent pictures of the burial service to his uncle, Mr. Frank Brodsky, of Rapid City, S. D. Several of the family were here for this service. Coach Glen R. ("Honie" ) Rogers opened basket ball workouts at Morningside this fall with only five lettermen reporting, but a host of sophomore material added a bit of lightness to an otherwise gloomy outlook. The Maroons lost two of their regular starters-Delbert ("Red") Langstaff, all-conference forward and Harold ("Buck") Deiters, rangy center of last season, but the sophomores have stepped in to fill their shoes. After opening music and prayers, Dean M. E. Graber spoke on "The Experience of Flying". Charles Clayton, Jr. who was with Rollie the two weeks he was home on furlough spoke on "A Friend". Prof. Van Horne, who was the last to .receive a letter from him, spoke on "A Faculty Friend". Les Pruehs, a student friend, read two poems Rollie had written. One, "Troubled Waters" had won a poetry contest sponsored by the college newspaper in 1938. The other poem was a part of a memorial book which was presented to Mrs. J. J. Bushnell by the college students after Dr. J. J. Bushnell's death. Dr. Roadman spoke on "Peace and Sacrifice". The service ended with the sounding of taps by Sgt. Devon Hahn, '40, of the 168th Infantry Band at Camp Claiborne, who was home on furlough. Last April, Rollie had sent as a gift to the college, a Royal Canadian Air Force flag and this flag was on the platform during the service. MINNEAPOLIS ALUMNI An All Morningsider gathering was held at the Y. M. C. A. in Minneapolis on Saturday, December 6th. Dr. Earl Roadman, President of the College, was present for this dinner event. It was planned by Wm. Kirchner, Fred Hoffman and Lisle Berkshire. The following Morningsiders were present: Carl Bachman, Don Ballentine, Fred Hoffman, Owen Engen, Ernest Jacobs, Mr. and Mrs. Lowell Kindig, Mr. and Mrs. Lisle Berkshire, Willard Kramer, E lden W. Kramer, Gladys Williams and Mr. and Mrs. Wm. Kirchner. Mrs. D. L. WICKENS and SON, David Elder. Mrs. Wickens is also an active committee member. IMPROMPTU MORNINGSIDE REUNION IN WASHINGTON, D. C. The following is taken from a letter received from H. G. Morrison, Jr. '39 who is now employed as a Placement Officer in the Personnel Branch of O.P.M.: "About two weeks ago we had a Morningside Reunion. Dale Rogers '39 and Garry Wallman '41 from Philadelphia started out and went to Baltimore, Md., where they contacted John Thrower '40, Howard Abbey, Ex '41, Maurice Scheider '41, and Harlan Dewell '40. They called me in Washington and said they were on their way. In the meantime, Eldon Peterson '36, who is in the army at Ft. Belvoir, Va., came in to see me. Before long we were all in my room at 2210 Pennsylvania Ave., Washington, D. C., talking about old times at Morningside. It certainly was swell. I also understand that there are several other Morningsiders up at Baltimore, one being Dick Wood, whom I accidently ran into last Saturday while in Baltimore. While speaking of Sioux City, yesterday I had the pleasure of witnessing one of the best football games of the nation, that of Notre Dame and Navy. And on the Notre Dame team was a Sioux City boy who made good at East High and was a frequent visitor to the Morningside gym. His n ame is Will Riordan. He played over half the game and did plenty 0. K. Tell Saundy I saw a couple of his plays used. Give my r egards to all the gang and to Miss Dimmitt." The Maroons breezed through their opening tilt with the Yankton Greyhounds, beating them 43 to 31, as Rogers used all of the players on his 15-man squad. Two sophomores-Gale Stevens from Sioux City at center and Bob Held, of Hinton, Iowa, at forward-were high point men in the game and warranted their assignments to starting berths in place of lettermen. In the second game, the Maroons faced the first real test of their strength, but grabbed an early lead and held it to defeat the Carleton College team of Northfield, Minn., 35 to 30. In the first meeting between the two schools last year, the Carls shaded the Maroons 36 to 34 on the Carleton floor. Again it was a sophomore player who led the Maroons. This time it was Loren Clark, a substitute forward from Sioux City Central. Clark played just a little more than a quarter of the game, but flipped in five one-handed push shots for 10 points and high scoring honors of the game. The Hastings College game offered little, opposition to the Maroons. An otherwise colorless game was high lighted by the brilliant floorwork of "Bobby" Held, sophomore forward. The final tally showed 5029 in favor of Morningside. With the new material that is now making its debut and such veterans as Glenn Adcock, Joe DeMaine, Wally Hanson, Steve Kerzie and Francis Jones still on the1 roster, the Maroons are looking to a more. successful season than they had last year. The Maroons will journey into Illinois to play tilts with t he Illinois State Normal team at Normal on December 16, and meet the Northern State Teachers quintet at DeKalb on the following night, before the Christmas r ecess. The team will open in the North Central conference loop on January 5 when they meet the perennially strong Iowa State Teacher s five on the Cedar Falls f loor. �Page 4 December, 1941 WM. McCURDY DIES Word has just come of the death of Wm. A. McCurdy, '14, which occurred on December 7th in the Nassau County Hospital at Mineola, Long Island. Mr. McCurdy left China last summer to return to this country for an emergency operation. His son James accompanied him home and his daughter Nancy is still on the way home. Mrs. Mc Curdy who will be remembered as Eleanor Winkleman, '16, flew from Chungking and was with him before his death. Mr. McCurdy was appointed a missionary to China in 1919 and was the builder of the Methodist Institutional Church. The church and .the McCurdy home were bombed last June 1st and destroyed. After the destruction of the church, Mr. McCurdy continued his activities in other parts of the Chinese city, but was forced by illness to return to this country. His missionary service was all in western China, where he had been superintendent of the Hoochow district, super·intendent of schools and missionary work. Funeral services were held in the chapel at 150 5th Ave., at the Meth odist headquarters. We are grateful to Mrs. Donald J. Walton, '21, (Bessie Reed) for the above information. In her letter she stat es that they attended the service and that there was a good representation of Morningsiders there. CLASS NOTES - 1902Mrs. Finetta Heller, Ex '09 and Dr. Fred J.

MERRY CHRISTMAS From President Roadman As II begin this greeting to all Morning siders, m y first question is, to whom am I writing? I am quite overwhelmed in the realization that I am writing this to hosts of young men, privates and officers, in our newly formed army that is rapidly scattering to all our far flung stations.

Third, all Morningsiders can encourage ( Continued on Page 2) , Published monthly from September to June, inclusive, by Mornings ide College Entered F eb ruary 13, 1911, at Sioux City, Iowa. as second class matter under Act of Congress. August 21. 1912. Page 2 December, 1941 ALL MORNINGSIDER (Continued from Page 1) worthy young people to attend Morningside. Let the mid-year high school graduates know that they can come to Mo.rningside in February and can get a full program of course work. Fourth, all Morningsiders can lend spiritual support to the College. On the campus there is in the making a great upsurge of spiritual power which can provide the motive and the energy for the development of a Morningside College of un-thought-of influence. Fifth, all Morningsiders can lend the college staff their counsel and advice in the development of the College Program. The obejctives, curriculum and activities of a college are best determined with alumni a ssistance. FORWARD MOVEMENT ENDORSED BY TRUSTEES AND CONFERENCE "I should like now to present an outline of the plan, resources, and personnel for the program of advance for Morningside College." With these words President Roadman placed before the Board of Trustees of the College and of the Northwest Iowa Conference of the Methodist Church in September a ten-year plan for building the Morningside of the Future. This program was uanimously and wholeheartedly endorsed and the first steps are being taken to get it under way. A study of the program which is printed below will show the reasons why this plan for the future can and will be accomplished. Our Morningside alumni will be anxious to study the program and then to ask, "Where Can I Fit In?" FORWARD MOVEMENT OF MORNINGSIDE COLLEGE: I. ADEQUATE PLANT (covering the needs of Morningside College for the next 10 years) A. Building needs 1. Science Hall-The first new unit for which we should work is a new science hall. a. Physics and aviation class rooms and laboratories now in the basement floor of Main Hall. b. Biology class room and laboratory on second floor and east side of Main Hall. c. Chemistry class room and laboratory in the basement of the gymnasium where swimming pool ought to have been. d. Home Economics, no program because of no space. 2. New field house for all physical education and athletic activities. Present gymnasium to be rehabilitated for library (the building is well adapted for library purposes). 3. Boys dorm - housing capacity not over sixty boys in the first unit. B. Financial needs 1. Buildings can only be begun when funds for the erection are on hand. 2. Expansion of program requires living or permanent endowment, which will provide at least $5,000 of income for each new building or added department. II. POSSIBILITIES OF RESOURCES . A. The Alumni group are working on a living endowment program of large significance. B. The Western half of Iowa has more wealth and only one college accredited by the North Central Association as contrasted with the Eastern half which has 12 church related colleges which are accredited. C. A study of the wealth of our territory by towns and counties is amazing. D. The duty of the Board of Trustees and the Administration is to organize and solicit to the very last of our possible resources for: 1. The need of buildings-estimated cost of $400,000. 2. Endowment and debt retirement. a. Living endowment, capitalization ---- $500,000 b. Cash ( 150 individuals to $1,000, etc.) -----$300,000 c. Estate notes -----$500,000 d. Insurance policies $150,000 e. Annuities (very carefully accepted) --$100,000 III. COOPERATIVE PERSONNEL A. Twenty-two subdistrict organizations of ministers, meeting every month, have been the major factor in increasing the Conference's annual contribution to Morningside from $3,800 to $15,000 a year. They have also been a vital factor in more than quadrupling the freshman girls enrollments in the dormitory. B. Laymen in the new church organization are eager for added activities. C. The Northwest Iowa Conference has one of the finest cooperative and closely knit personnel organi·z ations in the world! D. "Not failure but low aim is crime." This program has been enthusiastically approved by the Board of Trustees and an active program has been inaugurated by the trustee committee composed of Dr. John Madison, Dr. Earl Burgess, Lee Barks, Carrol Smith and Harry Norris. As you catch sight of the possibilities, the more this will grow on you. This is why it will succeed. Our Christian Colleges are more important now than ever. The world will need rebuilding. Knowledge and character must be the equipment of the men and women who do it. Morningside can be a greater beacon light in Northwest Iowa than ever before. Our alumni, our friends, and our Churches can help hy helping Morningside move forward. And to you will come again that question "Where Can I Fit In?" *ALL MORNINGSIDER COMMITTEE Bessie Reed Walton, '21 Rev. D. J. Walton, '17 *Other Members of Committee are Camera Shy. Dr. D. L.

Rollie was killed July 30th while flying with the Royal Canadian Air Force in England. He had completed one year of training in the Canadian Air Force on June 1st and was home for a two weeks furlough before sailing from Halifax on June 17th. He landed in England on June 30th so was there for one month. Both he and his co-pilot were killed and they were buried together in North Coates Village cemetery. The Air Ministry has sent pictures of the burial service to his uncle, Mr. Frank Brodsky, of Rapid City, S. D. Several of the family were here for this service. Coach Glen R. ("Honie" ) Rogers opened basket ball workouts at Morningside this fall with only five lettermen reporting, but a host of sophomore material added a bit of lightness to an otherwise gloomy outlook. The Maroons lost two of their regular starters-Delbert ("Red") Langstaff, all-conference forward and Harold ("Buck") Deiters, rangy center of last season, but the sophomores have stepped in to fill their shoes. After opening music and prayers, Dean M. E. Graber spoke on "The Experience of Flying". Charles Clayton, Jr. who was with Rollie the two weeks he was home on furlough spoke on "A Friend". Prof. Van Horne, who was the last to .receive a letter from him, spoke on "A Faculty Friend". Les Pruehs, a student friend, read two poems Rollie had written. One, "Troubled Waters" had won a poetry contest sponsored by the college newspaper in 1938. The other poem was a part of a memorial book which was presented to Mrs. J. J. Bushnell by the college students after Dr. J. J. Bushnell's death. Dr. Roadman spoke on "Peace and Sacrifice". The service ended with the sounding of taps by Sgt. Devon Hahn, '40, of the 168th Infantry Band at Camp Claiborne, who was home on furlough. Last April, Rollie had sent as a gift to the college, a Royal Canadian Air Force flag and this flag was on the platform during the service. MINNEAPOLIS ALUMNI An All Morningsider gathering was held at the Y. M. C. A. in Minneapolis on Saturday, December 6th. Dr. Earl Roadman, President of the College, was present for this dinner event. It was planned by Wm. Kirchner, Fred Hoffman and Lisle Berkshire. The following Morningsiders were present: Carl Bachman, Don Ballentine, Fred Hoffman, Owen Engen, Ernest Jacobs, Mr. and Mrs. Lowell Kindig, Mr. and Mrs. Lisle Berkshire, Willard Kramer, E lden W. Kramer, Gladys Williams and Mr. and Mrs. Wm. Kirchner. Mrs. D. L. WICKENS and SON, David Elder. Mrs. Wickens is also an active committee member. IMPROMPTU MORNINGSIDE REUNION IN WASHINGTON, D. C. The following is taken from a letter received from H. G. Morrison, Jr. '39 who is now employed as a Placement Officer in the Personnel Branch of O.P.M.: "About two weeks ago we had a Morningside Reunion. Dale Rogers '39 and Garry Wallman '41 from Philadelphia started out and went to Baltimore, Md., where they contacted John Thrower '40, Howard Abbey, Ex '41, Maurice Scheider '41, and Harlan Dewell '40. They called me in Washington and said they were on their way. In the meantime, Eldon Peterson '36, who is in the army at Ft. Belvoir, Va., came in to see me. Before long we were all in my room at 2210 Pennsylvania Ave., Washington, D. C., talking about old times at Morningside. It certainly was swell. I also understand that there are several other Morningsiders up at Baltimore, one being Dick Wood, whom I accidently ran into last Saturday while in Baltimore. While speaking of Sioux City, yesterday I had the pleasure of witnessing one of the best football games of the nation, that of Notre Dame and Navy. And on the Notre Dame team was a Sioux City boy who made good at East High and was a frequent visitor to the Morningside gym. His n ame is Will Riordan. He played over half the game and did plenty 0. K. Tell Saundy I saw a couple of his plays used. Give my r egards to all the gang and to Miss Dimmitt." The Maroons breezed through their opening tilt with the Yankton Greyhounds, beating them 43 to 31, as Rogers used all of the players on his 15-man squad. Two sophomores-Gale Stevens from Sioux City at center and Bob Held, of Hinton, Iowa, at forward-were high point men in the game and warranted their assignments to starting berths in place of lettermen. In the second game, the Maroons faced the first real test of their strength, but grabbed an early lead and held it to defeat the Carleton College team of Northfield, Minn., 35 to 30. In the first meeting between the two schools last year, the Carls shaded the Maroons 36 to 34 on the Carleton floor. Again it was a sophomore player who led the Maroons. This time it was Loren Clark, a substitute forward from Sioux City Central. Clark played just a little more than a quarter of the game, but flipped in five one-handed push shots for 10 points and high scoring honors of the game. The Hastings College game offered little, opposition to the Maroons. An otherwise colorless game was high lighted by the brilliant floorwork of "Bobby" Held, sophomore forward. The final tally showed 5029 in favor of Morningside. With the new material that is now making its debut and such veterans as Glenn Adcock, Joe DeMaine, Wally Hanson, Steve Kerzie and Francis Jones still on the1 roster, the Maroons are looking to a more. successful season than they had last year. The Maroons will journey into Illinois to play tilts with t he Illinois State Normal team at Normal on December 16, and meet the Northern State Teachers quintet at DeKalb on the following night, before the Christmas r ecess. The team will open in the North Central conference loop on January 5 when they meet the perennially strong Iowa State Teacher s five on the Cedar Falls f loor. Page 4 December, 1941 WM. McCURDY DIES Word has just come of the death of Wm. A. McCurdy, '14, which occurred on December 7th in the Nassau County Hospital at Mineola, Long Island. Mr. McCurdy left China last summer to return to this country for an emergency operation. His son James accompanied him home and his daughter Nancy is still on the way home. Mrs. Mc Curdy who will be remembered as Eleanor Winkleman, '16, flew from Chungking and was with him before his death. Mr. McCurdy was appointed a missionary to China in 1919 and was the builder of the Methodist Institutional Church. The church and .the McCurdy home were bombed last June 1st and destroyed. After the destruction of the church, Mr. McCurdy continued his activities in other parts of the Chinese city, but was forced by illness to return to this country. His missionary service was all in western China, where he had been superintendent of the Hoochow district, super·intendent of schools and missionary work. Funeral services were held in the chapel at 150 5th Ave., at the Meth odist headquarters. We are grateful to Mrs. Donald J. Walton, '21, (Bessie Reed) for the above information. In her letter she stat es that they attended the service and that there was a good representation of Morningsiders there. CLASS NOTES - 1902Mrs. Finetta Heller, Ex '09 and Dr. Fred J.

Kenneth Metcalf, '36, Speaker Special Music by Choir Dear Alumni Friends : Do you r emember your first enrollment days? They are just as interesting each year as they were when you came. Some freshmen come with such refreshing eagerness. Others are timid and fearful. Some obviously are more interested in r omance experience than Romance languages. Some have come because they wer e sent and others because nothing could keep them from corning. There is something new, fresh and intriguing about the opening of college each year I should not feel badly if I could make you fee l a little homesick fo r it a ll. Perhaps it's "longer than you think" since you were here. Count up the years and plan to come back soon. Come back for the h omecoming this year. Friends, football and faculty will welcome you . "Throughout life we h a ve the basic alternatives of either filing our clearest frien ds and finest experiences in a memory book or of keeping those contacts alive and current by regular cultivation and contacts." (Leon Hickman Correspondence) If you cannot come, write. Write about yourself, your wo.rk, your promotions, your children ( or grandchildren) . Write about Published monthly from Septembe r to Jun e, inclusive, your old student friends. Tell us of ones whom you know, but who may be lost to u s. Tell us not only of those who have graduated but also of all former students who may be near you. Write us about your change of address, your politics (whether changed or not). If a professor gave you a poor grade, write to him that you have forgiven him. Perhaps your success in life has made the professor worry about the grade he gave you.

Under the leadership of thirty-five upper-classmen, new students engaged in a week of induction activities. Opening with a Welcome Assembly, the week 's activities included placement tests, two parties, visits to faculty homes, religious services conducted by local churches and the Morningside College Christian Association, and registration. A notable feature of New Student Days is the whole-hearted assistance rendered by men and women of the upper classes in guiding the new students through the busy week . New Student Days constituted a real "baptism of fire" for the new dean of women and the new dean of the college. They both have survived and continue with their varied duties. George E. Hill, dean of the college, is a native of Michigan. He is a graduate of Albion College, has done graduate work at the University of Michigan and at Northwestern University where he received the Ph. D. degree in 1934. He has been a high school teacher in Michigan, assistant to the principal of New Trier High School, Winnetka, Illinois, professor of Education at Morningside College, at Illinois Normal University and at the University of Pennsylvania. His special field of interest is character education. Miss Phyllis A. Pearson, the new dean of women, is a native of Ohio, a graduate of Oberlin College, More recently she was selected for special training in personnel work at Syracuse University, where she served as resident adviser at a women's living center. She has also had graduate training in English. In addition to her duties as dean of women, Miss Pearson will teach courses in English and Journalism. COLLEGE CHAPEL NEW- TWO M. S. PROFESSORS LY RENOVATED HONORED BY IOWA ACADEMY OF SCIENCE Through the generosity of Mr. A. W. Jones of Cherokee, Iowa, the Chapel in Main Hall is in the process of its first re-decoration in a great many years. The walls and woodwork were repainted and varnished and the light fixtures re-modeled in time for the opening assembly of the school year. New drapes and shades are ordered .and should be up any day. A new lecturn and two stage chairs, the gift of the Class of 1941, have been installed. The seats will soon be reconditioned. A new cyclorama will be installed at the rear of the stage. The stage curtain, gift of the Class of 1926, is to be re-dyed. Mr. Jones, a former student at Morningside, has personally supervised the redocorating. Everyone who has seen these changes has been delighted with the improvement. At its annual meeting in April, the Iowa Academy of Science was addressed by two Morningside professors and made substantial grants to assist them with research work Dr. T. C. Stephens, Professor of Biology received a grant in recognition of his research on fresh water and land moluska at the Iowa Lakeside Laboratories at Lake Okoboji. Dr. E. E. Emme, Professor of Psychology, received a grant in recognition of his research work on the psychology of superstition. Dr. Stephens is a past president of the Academy and Dr. Emme a member of the executive committee and chairman of the resolutions committee. . . . M ... NEW FACULTY MEMBERS REPRESENT VARIED INTERESTS Among the new faculty members who assumed their positions with the opening of school are to be found a great variety of hobbies and special interests. John D. Garwood, instructor in Economics, makes income taxation his special interest. The new physical education instructor, Miss Lois A. Simons, has made girl scout . camp counselling her hobby. Richard Clayton, of the Conservatory staff, has made radio his hobby and vocation. Helping to improve the quality of public school music teaching is the chief interest of Miss Margaret T. Thomas, also of the Conservatory staff. Mr. Garwood is a graduate of Wayne State Teachers College and the University of Wissonsin. Miss Simons, a native of Minnesota, is a graduate of the Winona State Teachers College and Wellesley College. A graduate of Iowa State Teachers College, Miss Thomas did her graduate work at Cclumbia University. Mr. Clayton, in addition to extensive private instruction on the cello, is a graduaate of Michigan State College. Two new members of the staff are well known to many alumni. Dr. Stanley Carson, '04 and '20, for many years a missionary in China, has returned to Morningside to teach courses in Religion. Mrs. Ethel Coomer Bolton, '37, is the new assistant to the Director of Admissions. �Page 3 September, 1941 WITH THE SERVICE The "folks back home" at Morningside are anxious to keep in touch with the boys in the various Army camps and stations throughout the country from Virginia to California. Some of the boys have written interesting letters directly to the College and excerpts from them will be printed at a later date.

FOOTBALL PROSPECTS GOOD rivals from Vermillion, South Dakota University, at Sioux City on the night of Saturday, October 18. Football drills at Morningside College opened this fall with 12 lettermen returning and 10 non-letter-winning players and sophomores to complete the squad. The Maroons lost 5 of the stellar freshmen of last year, and this put a damper on the 1941 hopes for a while, but the remaining players showed such good form during the early practices that Head Coach Jason M. Saunderson's worries were soon eased. This, incidentally, will be Coach Saunderson's thirtieth year at Morningside. ,The Maroons won their homecoming game from Omaha U last year, 10 to 7, but suffered their worst trouncing of the season when the Coyotes beat them 26 to 6. The Maroons will be out to avenge last year's loss and the losses of other recent years on the football field, when the two teams meet this year, and with the losses that the Coyotes have had this season and the gains that the Maroons now have, the tilt should be a thriller. With only three weeks to prepare for the season opener with MacAlester, the Maroons settled down to strenuous workouts twice a day for the first two weeks, and by the end of the third week, the team was in shape for the opening game. LIBRARIAN ASSUMES DUTIES IN NEWLY DECORATED LIBRARY .. -. M . . . The dopesters figured Morningside to beat MacAlester by three points, but the Maroons upset all predictions when they opened up with a powerful offensive and piled up 31 to 6 victory over the Scots. Several sophomores making their debut in varsity ball, played outstanding ball. Charles Dirr, Orin Goodrich, Charles Obye, Julius Shkurensky and Bob Hammond nosed out lettermen for starting positions and played a game worthy of starters. Dirr, who calls signals from halfback, scored three touchdowns, and the other two touchdowns were scored by the Junior College transfers, Steve Gerzie and Elmendo Rossi. Several injuries occurred in the opening game but Coach Saunderson does not feel that any of them are serious enough to bench any players for any length of time, and is viewing the coming conference games in an optimistic light. From this point, it looks as if the Maroons are sure to raise their standing in the conference this year. The Maroons, however, have a tough schedule ahead of them. Following the conference opener with North Dakota State, the Maroons play Gustavus Adolphus, winner of the Minnesota College conference championship last year, and then meet the Iowa State Teachers Panthers, winners of the North Central Conference title last year. With this lineup it is easy to see that the Maroons will have no rest period before their homecoming game with the perennial When Clinton E.

A recent letter from Mrs. Bessie Reed Walton, a member of the committee, reports convalescence from serious illness. * * * * SMITH, BUCHANAN & INGERSOLL Attorneys At Law Union Trust Building Pittsburgh, Pa. March 21, 1941 Dr. Earl A. Roadman, President, Morningside College, Sioux City, Iowa. Dear Mr. Roadman: Mayme and I hope that you or preferably you and your wife can be in Pittsburgh at an early date. In the meantime I will mention some of the things that are on my mind so that you may help me in my thinking if you find time for correspondence. I have given considerable study to the data submitted to the trustees under the -date of March 12. I _ was impressed both with the financial progress that has been made and the presentation of the material. I was particularly pleased with the situation at the dormitory where it looks as though real progress is being made . . . . . Harry Benz and I have had one meeting and extended correspondence over the alumni end of the picture and both of us have given considerable thought to the matter between times. My contacts with the rest of the committee are imminent and will be pushed vigorously, but as a preliminary to them I want to make sure that my thinking is in accord with yours Very truly yours, Leon E. Hickman * * SMITH BUCHANAN & INGERSOLL Attorneys At Law Union Trust Building Pittsburgh, Pa. May 29, 1941. Dr. Earl A. Roadman, President, Morningside College, Sioux City, Iowa. Dear Mr. Roadman: The new Alumni News Bulletin reached me yesterday and I read it from cover to cover last evening with a great deal of pleasure. I think it is the answer to our problem . If we could put out a Bulletin of this excellence every four.· or five week s during the coming year, I think it would afford us just the vehicle we are looking for. Far from anticipating the work of our committee, I think the comments in the Bulletin were very helpful and make much easier whatever program we try to put over. With my very best regard I am, Sincerely, Leon E. Hickman OHIO UNIVERSITY COLLEGE OF EDUCATION Athens, Ohio June 12, 1941 Mr. Leon Hickman, Buchanan & Ingersoll, Union Trust Building, Pittsburgh, P ennsylvania. c/ o Smith, Dear Leon: Over a week ago I prepared the first draft of a letter to you and then laid it aside and have not gotten back to it. I shall select some of the ideas which it contained and add others. First, we were most happy to have you folks here over the weekend. We trust that this can be made an annual event, or perhaps it can happen even oftener than that. Plan on it for some future time, at any rate. As we agreed and as you mentioned in your letter to Dr. Roadman our committee is somewhat handicapped by its chronological homogeneity. There really ought to be someone from about every student generation involved in the matter of securing the initial financial momentum which we wanted. This would give the advantage of personal acquaintanceship to more of our letters. I have been thinking a good deal about the proposed sponsoring committee which we talked about. I shall be very much interested in Dr. Roadman's reaction to this. We all have a tendency to be overimpressed with the validity of our own mental processes, but the more I think of this idea the better I like it. I have been going through the directory, and I think a list of names could be assembled which would pack a punch. Getting the possessors of those names to act in this capacity is another matter. My original idea was that we should have a rather long list, to impress by its sheer length. Maybe a short list, with Morningside's principal "point · with pride" sons and daughters would be more effective .. Cordially yours, Harry. THE UNION CENTRAL LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY Cincinnati June 13, 1941 Mr. Leon Hickman, c/ o Smith, Buchanan & Ingersoll, Union Trust Building, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. Dear Leon: We have received at our house during the past four weeks, two long and interesting letters from you. I say we, because while they were adddressed to Nellie, they were read over the dining room table, and all of its contents discussed. Since that time, we have talked over at great length plans for raising money through the ex-students and alumni of Morningside (you will notice we put the ex-students there first, as we fall in that classification) . . At your invitation, I spent some time looking over the chapter on life insurance, and must further discuss the matter with our Underwriting Department and our Actuarial Department, as in the years past, we used to put out a College Endowment Contract, and still have a number o:f them in our books, although we no longer seek this type of business. So, I am going to give you my impressions first on th.is particular part · of the program. There seem to be a lot of pros and a lot of cons on the insurance plan. Probably the greatest difficulty occurs in not having a well formulated plan to start with, in the first place, and in the second place, failing to realize that the plan itself will not be effective as an instrument of raising money for the College for a great number of years. I believe the best you can possibly hope for is a twenty year span before the thing really begins to feel its greatest effectiveness. It has its advantage, however, in that it is a plan, in the first place, and in the second place, someone can make a little money out of selling these students, and it puts an aggressive job on somebody else to go out and help raise the money, and third, it sort of puts an obligation on the fellow who signs up, to carry through on the payment of the policy. This tends to create in him a habit of sending something to the College year by year. Of course, its disadvantage is that a man as he leaves college feels pretty poor, and starts his payments at a very low mark, and later on he may prosper and feel that this is the entire contribution that he should make on the plan. This, however, I believe is offset by getting a great many people to contribute on the plan who under normal conditions would not contribute. There are, of course, a great many schemes that can be used in this insurance �Page 5 September, 1941 business, and it would be wise if some one or two individuals from your Committee could be appointed if you cared to follow out this idea ,and let them develop the thing as they see fit. Certainly, any plan for carrying an insurance program provides for insuring a majority of the graduating class and getting them to make their original and then keeping all policies alive, even if the individuals themselves do fall clown later on. This has always been vital because later on they may be in a position to pick the thing up again and carry it on to completion and mature the contract on its orig inal basis. Carefully handled and well planned out, I think the idea has a lot of merit. It requires, however, a strong determination on somebody's part to see that the plan is very definitely developed, and not a lot of screwball ideas working with the thing or a lot of promotions by somebody who has no interest but to make some money on the sales. A careful selection of the company each year and a careful underwriter is all part of the program. I think you would probably find in your li st of alumni, some good life insurance men back in Sioux City who could be called upon to develop this particular plan. I am thinkin g of a fellow like Scott Burpee, who is now General Agent for the Northwestern Mutual in Sioux City, and possibly others who are there close to the College. that is twenty years hence, As I say, when a nice sum would be rolling in from a graduating class of fifty, each purchasing a $500 policy. If there is any additional information you may want on insurance, don't hesitate to write me and I will do what I can to check up the same for you. Now, as to the outlook on the balance of the program as we see it here. Certainly, we are 100 '% • behind the idea, but I am inclined to believe that our enthusiasm does run away with our judgment on the possibilities. We checked the figures very carefully in the book you sent us and I believe that we have come to the conclusion that a well thought-out, carefully carried-out campaign over a period of years, might eventually get your group to about 25 % of them giving gifts each year. We have no way of knowing how many people there are eligible to give, but we have assumed that the top would probably be around 4,000 alumni and ex-students, so that this program eventually would include approximately 1,000 people, if developed up to the very top point. Then, again, the average gift that would come from such a group. I am inclined to believe that an average gift somewhere between $12.00 and $18.00 would come pretty close to hitting thi s group of people. To be conservative on this figure and use the $12.00 rate, it m eans that eventually you probably could get about $12,000 a year. I would say that this is an expectancy of ten years of education. Of course, this should mount rapidly if you use the insurance plan at the end of twenty years, because the contribution of each graduating class coming in at that time would equal to or better this factor plus all of the additional contributions, and should by that time, swell the percentage of folks giving, to quite . a substantial amount .... Now, the next thi ng that lies ahead is getting behind this thing on a promotional basis. Since it must be done mostly by mail, and little by personal contact, it means that a very clever and continuous program must be presented to these people. First, I think you are right in giving consideration to keeping them posted on the news at Morningside ... 0 I can see the possibilities of using The Collegian Reporter once a month during the school year to carry an alumni edition or alumni section, picking up the news for the past three weeks, and repeating it, such as football scores and events around the old campus, and then carrying on quite a substantial story of the various alumni, what they are doing anad how things are going. This would probably begin to stimulate interest back in college and amongst the alumni that we have long lost tract of. Secondly, you would have to per-feet your organization as you suggested, either by a class organization or by a locality organization, or possibly a combined idea of using both the class and the locality where you have sufficient folks in the locality to organize, and where you have a group pretty widely scattered, let the officials in the class or the committee of a certain class appeal to these people . . . . I ran across the alumni secretary for Hendricks College, a small college in Arkan·sas, and this young fellow is really aggressively out after money and doing a mighty good job on getting his alumni to help him out. He had worked out a bond idea that I thought was quite clever, and which I believe could be developed a little better and really put on as a real promotion scheme. This is a thing that I believe would appeal more to people than pledge cards pledging money. I think we are all scared of those things. The idea being that one of the reasons why they have to go out for money is the fact that the endowment has suffered considerably because of a lowering of interest rates, and that the other asset that the college has is the alumni group that graduated from that college. Too often, however, this alumni group does not help the income of the college after they are away, and that the college is going to make it possible for them to be part of the endowment toward the school. Now, it would be grand if every alumnus could send them a check for $1,000 or $500 and the coll ege could put this money to work, and earn 5 % on the same, and on a $500 contribution, therefore, make $25.00 a year to add to the expense money of the college. But obviously, most of our people are too poor to make this kind of contribution, so why not ask them for the interest on this money and make it as a gift to the endowment going for Morningside College. He would receive his bond, possibly in a nice little glass frame, and on the bottom part of the bond, instead of coupons to be clipped off, each year that he made his contributions , he would receive a little gum receipt to stick on this bond, showing that he matures the bond as he goes along. It is possible to make an appeal to the men to give the interest on a $500 or a $1,000 bond much easier than it would be to give a contribution of $10, $15, or $20, and have no idea behind it . . . . Maybe our thinking is pretty much out of line, and after we get a chance to visit with you, we can gear our whole idea together and proceed to work in harmony with whatever promotion plans you may have. You can rest assured that we are interested and willing to do our share .... If-there is anything that can be done immediately, kindly let us know and we'll be glad to follow through on an ything tl1 a t you have. Sincerely yours, Harold Winter * * SMITH, BUCHANAN, SCOTT & INGERSOLL 1025 Union Trust Building Pittsburgh, Pa. June 19, 1941 Mr. Harold P. Winter, 3028 Victoria Boulevard, Cincinnati, Ohio. Dear Harold: I was delighted to get your letter of June 13, not only because it was from you, but because it contained such a fine diagnos is of the Morningside situation and so many helpful suggestions. I am sending excerpts from the letter to Dr. Roadman and other members of the committee in order to elicit their reactions to it. The very best thing about your letter is that we get two committee members for the price of one, and I can assure you that all the help you both can give will be gratefully received, not only by the college, but �Page 6 by me. I think we have something very real and worth while afoot and I am most anxious that we proceed with both imagination and realism to a goal that makes a permanent contribution not only to the life of the college but to its ex-students and alumni. I do not think we fully realize how much we can do for ourselves while helping the college. Throughout life we have the basic alternatives of either filing our dearest friends and finest experiences in a memory book or of keeping those contacts alive and current by regular cultivation and contacts. The latter alternative is the hard one but it is only the only one worth while. Getting back to the college, I am interested in hearing more about the possibilities of an insurance program for each graduating class, this to supplement our own alumni activities. I realize that we are not pioneering with this insurance idea and for that reason I think we ought to find out all we can about how it is worked out elsewhere. The fact that your company no longer seeks such business is some indication that it is not easy to keep such a program alive. On the other hand, it does not seem to me to be impossible and the benefits are substantial. Not only will the college begin to realize a permanent source of income some twenty years hence, but it will have_ inculcated in those participating in the insurance plan a continuing interest in and responsibility for Morningside. There is force in your comment that many who would contribute to such an insurance program would not make any other gift to the college while they were paying on their policies. However, that would not always be true and there would be a tendency the other way in the very fact of continuing interest in the ccllege. Furthermore, a study of alumni contributions during the administration of Dr. Roadman leads me to believe that the alumni who would give a s much as $500 to the college in their first twenty years out of school are few and far between. I share your feeling that it is fundamental that the program have a good underwriter each year. I think it should be passed around among several companies and their representatives, both in order to get the benefit of any ideas and in order to minimize any resentment that might be built upon the theory that someone was enjoying a monopoly ... . Turning to the alumni fund, I personally am in complete agreement with your fe eling that a simple contribution to the institution is a far sounder program to promote than a sponsorship of first one thing and then another at the college. However, I am sure that there are those who have definite interests in a narrow phase of the work which is all out of proportion to their interest in the entire program of the coll ege. September, 1941 Perhaps those people can be taken care of by permitting one of several alternative designations for those who prefer some specific project to a general sponsorship of the entire program. Your million-dollar idea is a good one and I would like to see us explore its possibilities fully. If your friend from Henricks College would let us have a copy of the bond that he issues I think it would help clarify our thinking. If we worked on any such idea both the bond and the publicity would have to make it perfectly clear that one purchasing the bond was not in the effect making a pledge of an .amount of money equal to the face of the bond. If we can overcome what I fear may be a difficult.y along that line, the rest of the idea strikes me as the most imaginative presentation of t.he prgram that I have heard of. Not only does it build up the pride of the contributor, but it sells him on the fundamental idea behind the program, namely, that a sustained annual contribution by the alumni will do the work of twenty or twenty-five times that much money in an endowment found. Will you be kind enough to let me have any further details that are in your mind or that you can get from Hendrick College about this bond program. In the meantime we will see how the others react to it. I hope that we can get the committee together, at least in sections, on the occasion of Dr. and Mrs. Roadman's trip with Miss Dimmitt through the East. Sincerely, Leon E. Hickman * * * * DAVID L. WICKENS Washington, D. C. 726 Jackson Place N. W. August 14, 1941 Mr. Leon Hickman, c/ o Smith, Buchanan & Ingersoll, Union Trust Building, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. Dear Mr. Hickman: I received your April letter concerning a program for an alumni finance committee; also a copy of the volume, "An Alumni Fund Survey," and after taking time to consider both I prepared to reply. Before sending you my reactions, other letters arrived ;and I have been much interested in them while I have continued to give further consideration to the whole enterprise with which the committee is concerned. It is encouraging to note the interest displayed in this matter by yourself and the others, and I share the hope and belief that worthwhile results can be achieved. I am in complete agreement concerning the desirability of the general objective, and I shall join in whatever efforts promise to be effective. Events of recent years have clearly indicated the need of unrestricted schools of higher learning not dependent on and not influenced by public appropriation. It seems to me that Morningside has now reached sufficient maturity so that the alumni should henceforth assume a continuing responsibility for a significant part of the school's finances. Furthermore, I belive that the present is a favorable time to inaugurate such an enterprise as the depression recedes and prosperity rises, and also, fortunately, as normal crop conditions return to the western part of Morningside's territory. I concur in your view that the problem should be thoroughly studied and that recommendations should be carefully drawn after a consensus is reached. Probably we ought also to contemplate continued study of the matter even after the active program is launched. On accasional meeting may be desirable. I appreciated your statement of the present financial condition of the college, with its attendant information. I shall welcon any further detail on income and expense if you can conveniently furnish it, since we shall want to know all angles of the problem. Probably the specific objective to be set from time to time can be readily agreed upon after consultation within the committee and with the college authorities. I am also of the opinion that it would be well to encourage the alumni to mention their preferences. Aside from meeting current essential needs, I am inclined to pay off the debts first. The dormitory bonds may be had now at a discount, whereas if we are successful in our financing efforts the price of these obligations may be expected to rise. Of course the tax feature is another important consideration. I agree that the enterprise should be developed and presented as a continuing long1·ange undertaking, and that the general participation of alumni, including all former students, on some scale, should be emphasized. I believe that M'orningside alumni and former students are a loyal group, reflecting earlier experience as members of a loyal student body, and I believe the alumni fund idea will elicit loyal support , Regardless of our alumni funds plans, everyone will welcome any such visit by Dr. Roadman or Miss Dimmitt as you mention as possible this next fall. I recipro- �September, 1941 cate your desire to get better acquainted, and, as indicated above, I shall welcome an y opportunity at which th at may be possible. I believe I remember Mr s. Hick m a n as a student at Morningside, and I shall be obliged if you will convey m y respects to her. I n ow ex pect tha t I shall be m aking a t r ip west in about a week, and if possible I shall s top at Pittsburg h t o see y ou persona ll y. Sincer ely yours, David L.

Dear Mr. Roadman: In repl y to your letter of Septembe r 10, I am workin g on this schedule: I am presentlyrafting a committee r epor t fo r subd mission to th e committee when Mr. Benz returns t o Athens, which will be n ext week. I expect a report satisfactory to t h e entire committee will be a g reed upon, signed and in y our hands by October 1. Therea f ter , the responsibility for promotional work, the preparataion a nd distribution of liter ature and the actual solicitation of alumrii will fall almost entir el y upon whomever you desi gnate t o handle matter s in Sioux Cit y. The committee would like to be k ept advised of developments in as much detail as can be managed, but its further participation , aside from an a dvisory r ole, involves onl y two additional steps: ( 1) the selection of a sponsoring g r oup of alumni, which I have put in Mr. Benz' hands to wo rk out a nd should be complet ed well before the campaign can start, a nd (2) th e actual solicitation of about one hundred alumni by the committee for the purpose of obta ining substantial financial support for the init ia l campaign. It would help our appeal under headings (1) and (2) if there were some a vailable literature describing our project which could be enclosed with our letters. I think we should have our sponsori ng alumni select ed and their acceptances secured during the month of October. We could then have stationery and perhaps other literature prepared in soliciting the one hundred most promising alumni sometime in November .. I would apprecia t e your r eaction t o my letter of ea rly A ug u st in which I passed along several suggest ions m a de by Mr. Benz, inclu ding ( 1 ) a redefinition of an alumnus, ( 2) a student fee to co ver a n alumni life membership and incidentally to finance alumni act ivit ies, an d ( 3 ) some pla n for letting the alumni elect certain trustees, or at least nomina t e them fo r electi ng b y a lumni ball oting, so that we could mak e t he point that th e alumni had privileges a s well as fina ncia l obligation s.

Kenneth Metcalf, '36, Speaker Special Music by Choir Dear Alumni Friends : Do you r emember your first enrollment days? They are just as interesting each year as they were when you came. Some freshmen come with such refreshing eagerness. Others are timid and fearful. Some obviously are more interested in r omance experience than Romance languages. Some have come because they wer e sent and others because nothing could keep them from corning. There is something new, fresh and intriguing about the opening of college each year I should not feel badly if I could make you fee l a little homesick fo r it a ll. Perhaps it's "longer than you think" since you were here. Count up the years and plan to come back soon. Come back for the h omecoming this year. Friends, football and faculty will welcome you . "Throughout life we h a ve the basic alternatives of either filing our clearest frien ds and finest experiences in a memory book or of keeping those contacts alive and current by regular cultivation and contacts." (Leon Hickman Correspondence) If you cannot come, write. Write about yourself, your wo.rk, your promotions, your children ( or grandchildren) . Write about Published monthly from Septembe r to Jun e, inclusive, your old student friends. Tell us of ones whom you know, but who may be lost to u s. Tell us not only of those who have graduated but also of all former students who may be near you. Write us about your change of address, your politics (whether changed or not). If a professor gave you a poor grade, write to him that you have forgiven him. Perhaps your success in life has made the professor worry about the grade he gave you.

Under the leadership of thirty-five upper-classmen, new students engaged in a week of induction activities. Opening with a Welcome Assembly, the week 's activities included placement tests, two parties, visits to faculty homes, religious services conducted by local churches and the Morningside College Christian Association, and registration. A notable feature of New Student Days is the whole-hearted assistance rendered by men and women of the upper classes in guiding the new students through the busy week . New Student Days constituted a real "baptism of fire" for the new dean of women and the new dean of the college. They both have survived and continue with their varied duties. George E. Hill, dean of the college, is a native of Michigan. He is a graduate of Albion College, has done graduate work at the University of Michigan and at Northwestern University where he received the Ph. D. degree in 1934. He has been a high school teacher in Michigan, assistant to the principal of New Trier High School, Winnetka, Illinois, professor of Education at Morningside College, at Illinois Normal University and at the University of Pennsylvania. His special field of interest is character education. Miss Phyllis A. Pearson, the new dean of women, is a native of Ohio, a graduate of Oberlin College, More recently she was selected for special training in personnel work at Syracuse University, where she served as resident adviser at a women's living center. She has also had graduate training in English. In addition to her duties as dean of women, Miss Pearson will teach courses in English and Journalism. COLLEGE CHAPEL NEW- TWO M. S. PROFESSORS LY RENOVATED HONORED BY IOWA ACADEMY OF SCIENCE Through the generosity of Mr. A. W. Jones of Cherokee, Iowa, the Chapel in Main Hall is in the process of its first re-decoration in a great many years. The walls and woodwork were repainted and varnished and the light fixtures re-modeled in time for the opening assembly of the school year. New drapes and shades are ordered .and should be up any day. A new lecturn and two stage chairs, the gift of the Class of 1941, have been installed. The seats will soon be reconditioned. A new cyclorama will be installed at the rear of the stage. The stage curtain, gift of the Class of 1926, is to be re-dyed. Mr. Jones, a former student at Morningside, has personally supervised the redocorating. Everyone who has seen these changes has been delighted with the improvement. At its annual meeting in April, the Iowa Academy of Science was addressed by two Morningside professors and made substantial grants to assist them with research work Dr. T. C. Stephens, Professor of Biology received a grant in recognition of his research on fresh water and land moluska at the Iowa Lakeside Laboratories at Lake Okoboji. Dr. E. E. Emme, Professor of Psychology, received a grant in recognition of his research work on the psychology of superstition. Dr. Stephens is a past president of the Academy and Dr. Emme a member of the executive committee and chairman of the resolutions committee. . . . M ... NEW FACULTY MEMBERS REPRESENT VARIED INTERESTS Among the new faculty members who assumed their positions with the opening of school are to be found a great variety of hobbies and special interests. John D. Garwood, instructor in Economics, makes income taxation his special interest. The new physical education instructor, Miss Lois A. Simons, has made girl scout . camp counselling her hobby. Richard Clayton, of the Conservatory staff, has made radio his hobby and vocation. Helping to improve the quality of public school music teaching is the chief interest of Miss Margaret T. Thomas, also of the Conservatory staff. Mr. Garwood is a graduate of Wayne State Teachers College and the University of Wissonsin. Miss Simons, a native of Minnesota, is a graduate of the Winona State Teachers College and Wellesley College. A graduate of Iowa State Teachers College, Miss Thomas did her graduate work at Cclumbia University. Mr. Clayton, in addition to extensive private instruction on the cello, is a graduaate of Michigan State College. Two new members of the staff are well known to many alumni. Dr. Stanley Carson, '04 and '20, for many years a missionary in China, has returned to Morningside to teach courses in Religion. Mrs. Ethel Coomer Bolton, '37, is the new assistant to the Director of Admissions. Page 3 September, 1941 WITH THE SERVICE The "folks back home" at Morningside are anxious to keep in touch with the boys in the various Army camps and stations throughout the country from Virginia to California.

FOOTBALL PROSPECTS GOOD rivals from Vermillion, South Dakota University, at Sioux City on the night of Saturday, October 18. Football drills at Morningside College opened this fall with 12 lettermen returning and 10 non-letter-winning players and sophomores to complete the squad. The Maroons lost 5 of the stellar freshmen of last year, and this put a damper on the 1941 hopes for a while, but the remaining players showed such good form during the early practices that Head Coach Jason M. Saunderson's worries were soon eased. This, incidentally, will be Coach Saunderson's thirtieth year at Morningside. ,The Maroons won their homecoming game from Omaha U last year, 10 to 7, but suffered their worst trouncing of the season when the Coyotes beat them 26 to 6. The Maroons will be out to avenge last year's loss and the losses of other recent years on the football field, when the two teams meet this year, and with the losses that the Coyotes have had this season and the gains that the Maroons now have, the tilt should be a thriller. With only three weeks to prepare for the season opener with MacAlester, the Maroons settled down to strenuous workouts twice a day for the first two weeks, and by the end of the third week, the team was in shape for the opening game. LIBRARIAN ASSUMES DUTIES IN NEWLY DECORATED LIBRARY .. -. M . . . The dopesters figured Morningside to beat MacAlester by three points, but the Maroons upset all predictions when they opened up with a powerful offensive and piled up 31 to 6 victory over the Scots. Several sophomores making their debut in varsity ball, played outstanding ball. Charles Dirr, Orin Goodrich, Charles Obye, Julius Shkurensky and Bob Hammond nosed out lettermen for starting positions and played a game worthy of starters. Dirr, who calls signals from halfback, scored three touchdowns, and the other two touchdowns were scored by the Junior College transfers, Steve Gerzie and Elmendo Rossi. Several injuries occurred in the opening game but Coach Saunderson does not feel that any of them are serious enough to bench any players for any length of time, and is viewing the coming conference games in an optimistic light. From this point, it looks as if the Maroons are sure to raise their standing in the conference this year. The Maroons, however, have a tough schedule ahead of them. Following the conference opener with North Dakota State, the Maroons play Gustavus Adolphus, winner of the Minnesota College conference championship last year, and then meet the Iowa State Teachers Panthers, winners of the North Central Conference title last year. With this lineup it is easy to see that the Maroons will have no rest period before their homecoming game with the perennial When Clinton E. Burris of the University of Chicago Library arrived to assume the head libarianship he may well have been pleasantly surprised at the appearance of the library. The walls and ceiling shine with the new luster of a complete refinishing. Mr. Burris brings a wealth of varied experience to his position. A graduate of Otterbein College and the United Brethren Seminary of Dayton, Ohio, he has served as principal of a school in China, grade school supervisor in Chicago, and instructor in the University of Chicago. For the past eleven years Mr. Burris has been associated with the library of the Department of Education at the University of Chicago. The Burris' have a son, David, a sophomore at Morningside. September, 1941 Page 4 FROM ALUMNI TO ALUMNI The following quotations have been taken from the correspondence of an alumni committee appointed by Dr. Roadman in November, 1940, and selected from the East- · ern area because of proximity of residence and greater ease of committee get-together. A recent letter from Mrs. Bessie Reed Walton, a member of the committee, reports convalescence from serious illness. * * * * SMITH, BUCHANAN & INGERSOLL Attorneys At Law Union Trust Building Pittsburgh, Pa. March 21, 1941 Dr. Earl A. Roadman, President, Morningside College, Sioux City, Iowa. Dear Mr. Roadman: Mayme and I hope that you or preferably you and your wife can be in Pittsburgh at an early date. In the meantime I will mention some of the things that are on my mind so that you may help me in my thinking if you find time for correspondence. I have given considerable study to the data submitted to the trustees under the -date of March 12. I _ was impressed both with the financial progress that has been made and the presentation of the material. I was particularly pleased with the situation at the dormitory where it looks as though real progress is being made . . . . . Harry Benz and I have had one meeting and extended correspondence over the alumni end of the picture and both of us have given considerable thought to the matter between times. My contacts with the rest of the committee are imminent and will be pushed vigorously, but as a preliminary to them I want to make sure that my thinking is in accord with yours Very truly yours, Leon E. Hickman * * SMITH BUCHANAN & INGERSOLL Attorneys At Law Union Trust Building Pittsburgh, Pa. May 29, 1941. Dr. Earl A. Roadman, President, Morningside College, Sioux City, Iowa. Dear Mr. Roadman: The new Alumni News Bulletin reached me yesterday and I read it from cover to cover last evening with a great deal of pleasure. I think it is the answer to our problem . If we could put out a Bulletin of this excellence every four.· or five week s during the coming year, I think it would afford us just the vehicle we are looking for. Far from anticipating the work of our committee, I think the comments in the Bulletin were very helpful and make much easier whatever program we try to put over. With my very best regard I am, Sincerely, Leon E. Hickman OHIO UNIVERSITY COLLEGE OF EDUCATION Athens, Ohio June 12, 1941 Mr. Leon Hickman, Buchanan & Ingersoll, Union Trust Building, Pittsburgh, P ennsylvania. c/ o Smith, Dear Leon: Over a week ago I prepared the first draft of a letter to you and then laid it aside and have not gotten back to it. I shall select some of the ideas which it contained and add others. First, we were most happy to have you folks here over the weekend. We trust that this can be made an annual event, or perhaps it can happen even oftener than that. Plan on it for some future time, at any rate. As we agreed and as you mentioned in your letter to Dr. Roadman our committee is somewhat handicapped by its chronological homogeneity. There really ought to be someone from about every student generation involved in the matter of securing the initial financial momentum which we wanted. This would give the advantage of personal acquaintanceship to more of our letters. I have been thinking a good deal about the proposed sponsoring committee which we talked about. I shall be very much interested in Dr. Roadman's reaction to this. We all have a tendency to be overimpressed with the validity of our own mental processes, but the more I think of this idea the better I like it. I have been going through the directory, and I think a list of names could be assembled which would pack a punch. Getting the possessors of those names to act in this capacity is another matter. My original idea was that we should have a rather long list, to impress by its sheer length. Maybe a short list, with Morningside's principal "point · with pride" sons and daughters would be more effective .. Cordially yours, Harry. THE UNION CENTRAL LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY Cincinnati June 13, 1941 Mr. Leon Hickman, c/ o Smith, Buchanan & Ingersoll, Union Trust Building, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. Dear Leon: We have received at our house during the past four weeks, two long and interesting letters from you. I say we, because while they were adddressed to Nellie, they were read over the dining room table, and all of its contents discussed. Since that time, we have talked over at great length plans for raising money through the ex-students and alumni of Morningside (you will notice we put the ex-students there first, as we fall in that classification) . . At your invitation, I spent some time looking over the chapter on life insurance, and must further discuss the matter with our Underwriting Department and our Actuarial Department, as in the years past, we used to put out a College Endowment Contract, and still have a number o:f them in our books, although we no longer seek this type of business. So, I am going to give you my impressions first on th.is particular part · of the program. There seem to be a lot of pros and a lot of cons on the insurance plan. Probably the greatest difficulty occurs in not having a well formulated plan to start with, in the first place, and in the second place, failing to realize that the plan itself will not be effective as an instrument of raising money for the College for a great number of years. I believe the best you can possibly hope for is a twenty year span before the thing really begins to feel its greatest effectiveness. It has its advantage, however, in that it is a plan, in the first place, and in the second place, someone can make a little money out of selling these students, and it puts an aggressive job on somebody else to go out and help raise the money, and third, it sort of puts an obligation on the fellow who signs up, to carry through on the payment of the policy. This tends to create in him a habit of sending something to the College year by year. Of course, its disadvantage is that a man as he leaves college feels pretty poor, and starts his payments at a very low mark, and later on he may prosper and feel that this is the entire contribution that he should make on the plan. This, however, I believe is offset by getting a great many people to contribute on the plan who under normal conditions would not contribute. There are, of course, a great many schemes that can be used in this insurance Page 5 September, 1941 business, and it would be wise if some one or two individuals from your Committee could be appointed if you cared to follow out this idea ,and let them develop the thing as they see fit. Certainly, any plan for carrying an insurance program provides for insuring a majority of the graduating class and getting them to make their original and then keeping all policies alive, even if the individuals themselves do fall clown later on. This has always been vital because later on they may be in a position to pick the thing up again and carry it on to completion and mature the contract on its orig inal basis. Carefully handled and well planned out, I think the idea has a lot of merit. It requires, however, a strong determination on somebody's part to see that the plan is very definitely developed, and not a lot of screwball ideas working with the thing or a lot of promotions by somebody who has no interest but to make some money on the sales. A careful selection of the company each year and a careful underwriter is all part of the program. I think you would probably find in your li st of alumni, some good life insurance men back in Sioux City who could be called upon to develop this particular plan. I am thinkin g of a fellow like Scott Burpee, who is now General Agent for the Northwestern Mutual in Sioux City, and possibly others who are there close to the College. that is twenty years hence, As I say, when a nice sum would be rolling in from a graduating class of fifty, each purchasing a $500 policy. If there is any additional information you may want on insurance, don't hesitate to write me and I will do what I can to check up the same for you. Now, as to the outlook on the balance of the program as we see it here. Certainly, we are 100 '% • behind the idea, but I am inclined to believe that our enthusiasm does run away with our judgment on the possibilities. We checked the figures very carefully in the book you sent us and I believe that we have come to the conclusion that a well thought-out, carefully carried-out campaign over a period of years, might eventually get your group to about 25 % of them giving gifts each year. We have no way of knowing how many people there are eligible to give, but we have assumed that the top would probably be around 4,000 alumni and ex-students, so that this program eventually would include approximately 1,000 people, if developed up to the very top point. Then, again, the average gift that would come from such a group. I am inclined to believe that an average gift somewhere between $12.00 and $18.00 would come pretty close to hitting thi s group of people. To be conservative on this figure and use the $12.00 rate, it m eans that eventually you probably could get about $12,000 a year. I would say that this is an expectancy of ten years of education. Of course, this should mount rapidly if you use the insurance plan at the end of twenty years, because the contribution of each graduating class coming in at that time would equal to or better this factor plus all of the additional contributions, and should by that time, swell the percentage of folks giving, to quite . a substantial amount .... Now, the next thi ng that lies ahead is getting behind this thing on a promotional basis. Since it must be done mostly by mail, and little by personal contact, it means that a very clever and continuous program must be presented to these people. First, I think you are right in giving consideration to keeping them posted on the news at Morningside ... 0 I can see the possibilities of using The Collegian Reporter once a month during the school year to carry an alumni edition or alumni section, picking up the news for the past three weeks, and repeating it, such as football scores and events around the old campus, and then carrying on quite a substantial story of the various alumni, what they are doing anad how things are going. This would probably begin to stimulate interest back in college and amongst the alumni that we have long lost tract of. Secondly, you would have to per-feet your organization as you suggested, either by a class organization or by a locality organization, or possibly a combined idea of using both the class and the locality where you have sufficient folks in the locality to organize, and where you have a group pretty widely scattered, let the officials in the class or the committee of a certain class appeal to these people . . . . I ran across the alumni secretary for Hendricks College, a small college in Arkan·sas, and this young fellow is really aggressively out after money and doing a mighty good job on getting his alumni to help him out. He had worked out a bond idea that I thought was quite clever, and which I believe could be developed a little better and really put on as a real promotion scheme. This is a thing that I believe would appeal more to people than pledge cards pledging money. I think we are all scared of those things. The idea being that one of the reasons why they have to go out for money is the fact that the endowment has suffered considerably because of a lowering of interest rates, and that the other asset that the college has is the alumni group that graduated from that college. Too often, however, this alumni group does not help the income of the college after they are away, and that the college is going to make it possible for them to be part of the endowment toward the school. Now, it would be grand if every alumnus could send them a check for $1,000 or $500 and the coll ege could put this money to work, and earn 5 % on the same, and on a $500 contribution, therefore, make $25.00 a year to add to the expense money of the college. But obviously, most of our people are too poor to make this kind of contribution, so why not ask them for the interest on this money and make it as a gift to the endowment going for Morningside College. He would receive his bond, possibly in a nice little glass frame, and on the bottom part of the bond, instead of coupons to be clipped off, each year that he made his contributions , he would receive a little gum receipt to stick on this bond, showing that he matures the bond as he goes along. It is possible to make an appeal to the men to give the interest on a $500 or a $1,000 bond much easier than it would be to give a contribution of $10, $15, or $20, and have no idea behind it . . . . Maybe our thinking is pretty much out of line, and after we get a chance to visit with you, we can gear our whole idea together and proceed to work in harmony with whatever promotion plans you may have. You can rest assured that we are interested and willing to do our share .... If-there is anything that can be done immediately, kindly let us know and we'll be glad to follow through on an ything tl1 a t you have. Sincerely yours, Harold Winter * * SMITH, BUCHANAN, SCOTT & INGERSOLL 1025 Union Trust Building Pittsburgh, Pa. June 19, 1941 Mr. Harold P. Winter, 3028 Victoria Boulevard, Cincinnati, Ohio. Dear Harold: I was delighted to get your letter of June 13, not only because it was from you, but because it contained such a fine diagnos is of the Morningside situation and so many helpful suggestions. I am sending excerpts from the letter to Dr. Roadman and other members of the committee in order to elicit their reactions to it. The very best thing about your letter is that we get two committee members for the price of one, and I can assure you that all the help you both can give will be gratefully received, not only by the college, but Page 6 by me. I think we have something very real and worth while afoot and I am most anxious that we proceed with both imagination and realism to a goal that makes a permanent contribution not only to the life of the college but to its ex-students and alumni. I do not think we fully realize how much we can do for ourselves while helping the college. Throughout life we have the basic alternatives of either filing our dearest friends and finest experiences in a memory book or of keeping those contacts alive and current by regular cultivation and contacts. The latter alternative is the hard one but it is only the only one worth while. Getting back to the college, I am interested in hearing more about the possibilities of an insurance program for each graduating class, this to supplement our own alumni activities. I realize that we are not pioneering with this insurance idea and for that reason I think we ought to find out all we can about how it is worked out elsewhere. The fact that your company no longer seeks such business is some indication that it is not easy to keep such a program alive. On the other hand, it does not seem to me to be impossible and the benefits are substantial. Not only will the college begin to realize a permanent source of income some twenty years hence, but it will have_ inculcated in those participating in the insurance plan a continuing interest in and responsibility for Morningside. There is force in your comment that many who would contribute to such an insurance program would not make any other gift to the college while they were paying on their policies. However, that would not always be true and there would be a tendency the other way in the very fact of continuing interest in the ccllege. Furthermore, a study of alumni contributions during the administration of Dr. Roadman leads me to believe that the alumni who would give a s much as $500 to the college in their first twenty years out of school are few and far between. I share your feeling that it is fundamental that the program have a good underwriter each year. I think it should be passed around among several companies and their representatives, both in order to get the benefit of any ideas and in order to minimize any resentment that might be built upon the theory that someone was enjoying a monopoly ... . Turning to the alumni fund, I personally am in complete agreement with your fe eling that a simple contribution to the institution is a far sounder program to promote than a sponsorship of first one thing and then another at the college. However, I am sure that there are those who have definite interests in a narrow phase of the work which is all out of proportion to their interest in the entire program of the coll ege. September, 1941 Perhaps those people can be taken care of by permitting one of several alternative designations for those who prefer some specific project to a general sponsorship of the entire program. Your million-dollar idea is a good one and I would like to see us explore its possibilities fully. If your friend from Henricks College would let us have a copy of the bond that he issues I think it would help clarify our thinking. If we worked on any such idea both the bond and the publicity would have to make it perfectly clear that one purchasing the bond was not in the effect making a pledge of an .amount of money equal to the face of the bond. If we can overcome what I fear may be a difficult.y along that line, the rest of the idea strikes me as the most imaginative presentation of t.he prgram that I have heard of. Not only does it build up the pride of the contributor, but it sells him on the fundamental idea behind the program, namely, that a sustained annual contribution by the alumni will do the work of twenty or twenty-five times that much money in an endowment found. Will you be kind enough to let me have any further details that are in your mind or that you can get from Hendrick College about this bond program. In the meantime we will see how the others react to it. I hope that we can get the committee together, at least in sections, on the occasion of Dr. and Mrs. Roadman's trip with Miss Dimmitt through the East. Sincerely, Leon E. Hickman * * * * DAVID L. WICKENS Washington, D. C. 726 Jackson Place N. W. August 14, 1941 Mr. Leon Hickman, c/ o Smith, Buchanan & Ingersoll, Union Trust Building, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. Dear Mr. Hickman: I received your April letter concerning a program for an alumni finance committee; also a copy of the volume, "An Alumni Fund Survey," and after taking time to consider both I prepared to reply. Before sending you my reactions, other letters arrived ;and I have been much interested in them while I have continued to give further consideration to the whole enterprise with which the committee is concerned. It is encouraging to note the interest displayed in this matter by yourself and the others, and I share the hope and belief that worthwhile results can be achieved. I am in complete agreement concerning the desirability of the general objective, and I shall join in whatever efforts promise to be effective. Events of recent years have clearly indicated the need of unrestricted schools of higher learning not dependent on and not influenced by public appropriation. It seems to me that Morningside has now reached sufficient maturity so that the alumni should henceforth assume a continuing responsibility for a significant part of the school's finances. Furthermore, I belive that the present is a favorable time to inaugurate such an enterprise as the depression recedes and prosperity rises, and also, fortunately, as normal crop conditions return to the western part of Morningside's territory. I concur in your view that the problem should be thoroughly studied and that recommendations should be carefully drawn after a consensus is reached. Probably we ought also to contemplate continued study of the matter even after the active program is launched. On accasional meeting may be desirable. I appreciated your statement of the present financial condition of the college, with its attendant information. I shall welcon any further detail on income and expense if you can conveniently furnish it, since we shall want to know all angles of the problem. Probably the specific objective to be set from time to time can be readily agreed upon after consultation within the committee and with the college authorities. I am also of the opinion that it would be well to encourage the alumni to mention their preferences. Aside from meeting current essential needs, I am inclined to pay off the debts first. The dormitory bonds may be had now at a discount, whereas if we are successful in our financing efforts the price of these obligations may be expected to rise. Of course the tax feature is another important consideration. I agree that the enterprise should be developed and presented as a continuing long1·ange undertaking, and that the general participation of alumni, including all former students, on some scale, should be emphasized. I believe that M'orningside alumni and former students are a loyal group, reflecting earlier experience as members of a loyal student body, and I believe the alumni fund idea will elicit loyal support , Regardless of our alumni funds plans, everyone will welcome any such visit by Dr. Roadman or Miss Dimmitt as you mention as possible this next fall. I recipro- September, 1941 cate your desire to get better acquainted, and, as indicated above, I shall welcome an y opportunity at which th at may be possible. I believe I remember Mr s. Hick m a n as a student at Morningside, and I shall be obliged if you will convey m y respects to her. I n ow ex pect tha t I shall be m aking a t r ip west in about a week, and if possible I shall s top at Pittsburg h t o see y ou persona ll y. Sincer ely yours, David L.

R oadm an, President, Morningside College, Sioux City, Iowa. Dear Mr. Roadman: In repl y to your letter of Septembe r 10, I am workin g on this schedule: I am presentlyrafting a committee r epor t fo r subd mission to th e committee when Mr. Benz returns t o Athens, which will be n ext week. I expect a report satisfactory to t h e entire committee will be a g reed upon, signed and in y our hands by October 1. Therea f ter , the responsibility for promotional work, the preparataion a nd distribution of liter ature and the actual solicitation of alumrii will fall almost entir el y upon whomever you desi gnate t o handle matter s in Sioux Cit y. The committee would like to be k ept advised of developments in as much detail as can be managed, but its further participation , aside from an a dvisory r ole, involves onl y two additional steps: ( 1) the selection of a sponsoring g r oup of alumni, which I have put in Mr. Benz' hands to wo rk out a nd should be complet ed well before the campaign can start, a nd (2) th e actual solicitation of about one hundred alumni by the committee for the purpose of obta ining substantial financial support for the init ia l campaign. It would help our appeal under headings (1) and (2) if there were some a vailable literature describing our project which could be enclosed with our letters. I think we should have our sponsori ng alumni select ed and their acceptances secured during the month of October. We could then have stationery and perhaps other literature prepared in soliciting the one hundred most promising alumni sometime in November .. I would apprecia t e your r eaction t o my letter of ea rly A ug u st in which I passed along several suggest ions m a de by Mr. Benz, inclu ding ( 1 ) a redefinition of an alumnus, ( 2) a student fee to co ver a n alumni life membership and incidentally to finance alumni act ivit ies, an d ( 3 ) some pla n for letting the alumni elect certain trustees, or at least nomina t e them fo r electi ng b y a lumni ball oting, so that we could mak e t he point that th e alumni had privileges a s well as fina ncia l obligation s. If you were receptive to any of t hose suggesti ons, I th. nk it i probable that t h e co mmittee woul d like to r ecommend th em fo r con sideration a t some futur e time. Har old Winter will be in Pittsburgh on eit her Oct ober 3 or 4 and he a nd Mr. Benz an d I a nd our fami lies will probably get t ogeth er in Athens some time in October . . Sincerel y, Leon E .

In addition to the present buildings set realistically in their correct dimension on the green background there is shown in white the proposed new buildings: A field house, west of the Conservatory, a Science Hall in front of the present "Barn" and a men's dormitory facing on Garretson Avenue. With this arrangement the present gymnasium is to be re-modeled into a Library building. The model is the work of Phillip Sandburg, a student from Evanston, Illinois. "The Future---Limited Only By Our Imagination" These words should be lettered in gold above Dr. Roadman's office door. They are the battle cry of this energetic builder of a bigger and better Morningside. Northwest Iowa Methodism and the business and professional men of Sioux City have joined hands in an united effort to make our college grow. Last year $40,000 was raised for the balancing of the 1939-40 Budget and the budget was balanced. The same achievement is assured for this year. In addition outside funds have been raised to retire approximately $30,000 of old indebtedness. These figures mean but one thing, Morningside is alive and Morningside is growing. There yet remains another force which is growing, the Alumni, 2,500 strong, scattered across the world can exert a tremendous influence to help Dr. Roadman and his splendid corps of workers. "How" did you say? 1. Have you a daughter or a son, a niece or a nephew -- perhaps the child of a friend, who is ready for college? The same fine idealism that guided the Morningside of your day is building for finer and better citizens. Write Mr. V. V. Schuldt today regarding an application for admission. 2. Do you know of persons of means who could be interested in putting their money in the finest investment they can make for the future of society? Help in the education of youth -- write Dr. Roadman today regarding the details. 3. Would $25,000 annually help Morningside grow?- Ten dollars a year from each alumnus is but a small interest to pay on your increased value as a College graduate -- 2,500 Alumni could raise $100,000 in four years-Write Dr. Roadman or Leon Hickman, Chairman of the Alumni Committee, Union Trust Bldg., Pittsburg, Penn., of your vision -- How far can you see? MORNINGSIDE IS YOUR COLLEGE -- WHAT ARE YOUR DREAMS? �Page 3 May, 1941 Information for Alumni Office (Tear Out and Mail At Once) You are urged to fill out all pertinent data and return this Blank to the Alumni Office at once.

Carroll Writes of Alumni Meeting In New York On January 11, 1941, Dr. and Mrs. Earl A. Roadman were host and hostess at a fellowship dinner for Morningside Alumni at the Prince George Hotel in New York City. After enjoying a delicious chicken dinner, and the renewing of old friendships and the making of new acquaintances in the alumni circle, each one was called upon by Dr. Roadman to tell about some incident or experience that happened during our college days at Morningside. As we listened to these narratives in which there was humor, joy, and sometimes a note of sadness, one could not help but feel that we were back on Morningside Campus, in her class rooms, and again sharing and enjoying the fellowship of both professors and students. This dinner helped to bring to our minds a new sense of how deeply Morningside College had affected our lives in our own personal outlook and purpose. No finer illustration of this could be found anywhere than in this situation: Robert H . Dolliver is pastor of John St. Methodist Church, the oldest Methodist Church in the United States, and located in the heart of the financial district of New York City. Gordon R. Larhson is pastor of Henry Street United Church, located just east of the Bowery. Henry Street United Church was recently formed by the union of the Presbyterian Church of Sea and Land and the Baptist Mariner's Temple, both of which were steeped in traditions dating back to Colonial days. Next in line is Donald J. Walton, who shepherds the congregations of DeWitt Memorial Church on Rivington Street and the Emmanuel Church on 6th Street. This parish has the l argest Slavic group in New York. Here is a new government housing project, known as the Vladeck Apartments, where 5,950 persons live in 24 modern buildings on an 18-acre plot. The Lower East side of New York is of the outstanding missionary fields of United States. Under-privileged people ing here come from all nations. And three pastors who lead the work of Protestant Church in this needy area Morningside College graduates. one the livthe the are At the close of the banquet program it was the hope of each one there that such an occasion could be an annual affair. The following persons attended the dinner: Mr. and Mrs. Ralph Pierce, Mr. Leon Hickman, Mr. Eldred Raun, Mr. and Mrs. Russell Hammond, Mr. and Mrs. J. Ross Adams, Mr. Fletcher Pollock, Mr. Lee Horney, Rev. and · Mrs. Asbury Stromberg, Mr. Frank Leamer, Mr. Ralph Mahlum, Rev. and Mrs. Donald J. Walton, Dr. Arthur G. Carroll, Mr. Thomas Moon, Mr. and Mrs. Willard H. Bowker, Reverend Robert Dolliver, Dr. and Mrs. Earl A. Roadman, Mr. Wm. Ennenga, Reverend Palches and Mrs. Porter. Biology Club Honors Commencement Speaker The Biology Department is honoring an old graduate, Dr. Ira N. Gabrielson, at a luncheon to be held at Hotel Mayfair, June 2, at 1:00 P . M. Dr. Gabrielson, who is Director of the Fish and Wildlife Service, Department of Interior, Washington, D. C., will be the principal speaker at this luncheon, to which all present and former major and minor biology students are being invited. Word has recently been received that Dr. Fred J. Seaver, '02, Curator of the New York Botanical Gardens and also Editor of Mycologia, is planning to attend. It is hoped that a number of other distinguished graduates will be able to be present. The Biology Club, one of the most progressive clubs at Morningside, is sponsoring this event and insures its success. Conservatory Alumna Is Authoress It is not so often that the Morningside Conservatory graduates enter the writing profession. However, Ruth E . French, Class of '15, has had numerous articles published of recent years. In the February, 1941, issue of The Etude appears her latest article on "Lord Byron In Romantic Music". In the May, 1940, issue of The Etude is an article on "Baseball Memorizing". She has had a total of eighteen articles published within the last fourteen years. These articles appeared in The Etude, Musical Courier, The Classmate, The Weekly Unity · and the Adult Student. Miss French graduated with an A.B. from Morningside College and then from the New England Conservatory in Boston. In 1935 she received an M. Mus. from Northwestern University. She was a former pupil of Professor James Reistrup and has studied with Heinrich Gebhard and Arthur M. Curry of Boston, Mass. Her thesis was written on "The Influence of Byron on Romantic Music". The Voice of 2,500 Alumni Of interest to many former Morningsiders an despecially members of the Northwest Iowa Conference is the following letter from Reverend Albert Burton Gilbert of the Class of 1903, Reverend Gilbert is now a retired minister living at 311 Del Rey Avenue, Pasadena, California. Dear President Roadman: I am enclosing a check for fifty dollars for my Alma Mater to be placed in any fund where you think best. I wish it were more and I hope to be able later on to add to it. It is always a happy thought that I am an alumnus of Morningside College. Neither words nor dollars can in any sense adequately convey to you the cultural, social and intellectual benefits I have received from Morningside. One of the greatest thrills of my life was the receiving of a Doctor of Divinity degree ten years ago next month. That was an occasion of rare privilege to be on the campus once again and to mingle with former fellow students and the professors. Northwest Iowa Conference was my first Conference where I served for thirteen years. In making my little contribution to the college I am mindful of a duty I owe to that conference. Northwest Iowa Conference has been a heroic giver, for fifty years and more, to our college and I am happy now to have had a part in helping the college in its crises while a member of the conference. We are all hoping that the college will be able to maintain its high place in Northwest Iowa during the uncertain months ahead of us. Christianity and democracy must be kept alive at all costs. Please give my regards to Miss Dimmitt. With best regards to you and to your staff of professors, I am, Sincerely yours, A. B. Gilbert. Baccalaureate Choir Elaborate plans are now being made for an alumni choir concert to be held on the evening of June 1, Baccalaureate Sunday. Instead of having a complete choral program presented by the Morningside Chapel Choir, the choir alumni will join the present college choristers in several musical selections. This will give opportunity for all former choir singers to rid their throats of that rusty feeling and again sing under the able baton of Professor Mac. �Page 6 Among the Faculty Dr. Paul E. Johnson is the author of numerous artides which have appeared recently in different publications. Among these is the article "The Questions College Boys Ask" which appeared in the issue of the Christian Advocate for March 16, 1941. The 1941 edition of "Who's Who in American Education" includes the names of the following faculty members: Dr. Paul E. Johnson, Dr. E. E . Emme, Dr. J. E. Kirkpatrick, Marcia McNee and Mrs. Hazel E. Carter. Outstanding among musical aggregations in this territory is the Sioux Cityan orchestra conducted by Everett Timm. This orchestra broadcasts from KSCJ. They were organized in the summer of 1939 by Mr. Timm and became a staff orchestra that same fall. Members of the Sioux Cityans are Everett Timm, '36, present faculty member of the college who plays the flute and conducts; Gordon Kinney, present faculty member and cellist; James Vandersall, '36, violinist; Douglas Reeder, '37, violinist; Robert Brooks, bass and trombone ; Gus Hahn, cornetist and Robert Lowry, clarinetist. The last three named are present students at the college. Since Gus Hahn has been inducted into the army Oliver Mogck a senior this year is taking his place. Pierce Wall the pianist is the remaining member of the orchestra. These boys would appreciate heating from their fellow Morningsiders who live within range of the station to know if their program is satisfactory. At the installation dinner of the Sioux City Quota Club on Thursday, January 30, Miss Lillian Dimmitt, dean emeritus of Morningside College, was given an honorary life membership. Dr. Hazel Larson conferred the honor with words of praise for Miss Dimmitt-charter member-by saying she was "one of the finest women God ever made". Former students will be interested in the letter received from Professor Donald S. Warning now of Evanston, Illinois, in which he say that "we are the proud parents of a baby girl born on St. Patrick's Day. Both the baby and Mrs. Warning are fine". Morningside students are suddenly aware that we have another member of the faculty with us. Professor and Mrs. Ira Gwinn are the proud parents of a baby boy, Thomas Wallace, born on April 18, 1941. Mr. Gwinn now has one more boy to "engineer" around. Two of our Morningside faculty have attained a new rank. If you will note in the Class of 1961, Professor Coss and Coach Saunderson are now classified in the "grandfather" roles. May, 1941 Morningside Is Your College-You Can Help Her Grow! The following letter evidences some of the real Morningside spirit which we know all of our alumni feel. "There has been no notice of dues sent to me previously and therefore I have neglected to send any for the previous years. Consequently I am sending four dollars now hoping to make up for the past three years and the current year. I regret that I am unable to send more". This letter was received in reply to the notice of alumni dues just sent. Many of our alumni feel that they would like to do more. All gifts do not have to be of the material nature. We all do not have extra cash to send to the school as much as we would like to. However, we can help spread the feeling of a bigger and better Morningside wherever we are living. We can make the community conscious of the school of which we are proud and which helped us so much. We can help' our Admissions Office hear of students from our community who should be contacted as prospective students. Above all, we can help keep our alumni o·r ganization alive and interesting by reporting any news of our fellow members' activities, as well as our own. Class News -1911Mr. Lancelot S.

Published mon thly from September to June, in clusive, by Morningside College. Entered February 13, 1911, at Sioux City, Iowa, as second class matter under Act of Congress, August 21, 1912. Page 2 May, 1941 THE MORNINGSIDE OF TOMORROW The above scale model was on displly in the Mezzanine floor of the Martin hotel during the 1941 College Campaign in Sioux City. In addition to the present buildings set realistically in their correct dimension on the green background there is shown in white the proposed new buildings: A field house, west of the Conservatory, a Science Hall in front of the present "Barn" and a men's dormitory facing on Garretson Avenue. With this arrangement the present gymnasium is to be re-modeled into a Library building. The model is the work of Phillip Sandburg, a student from Evanston, Illinois. "The Future---Limited Only By Our Imagination" These words should be lettered in gold above Dr. Roadman's office door. They are the battle cry of this energetic builder of a bigger and better Morningside. Northwest Iowa Methodism and the business and professional men of Sioux City have joined hands in an united effort to make our college grow. Last year $40,000 was raised for the balancing of the 1939-40 Budget and the budget was balanced. The same achievement is assured for this year. In addition outside funds have been raised to retire approximately $30,000 of old indebtedness. These figures mean but one thing, Morningside is alive and Morningside is growing. There yet remains another force which is growing, the Alumni, 2,500 strong, scattered across the world can exert a tremendous influence to help Dr. Roadman and his splendid corps of workers. "How" did you say? 1. Have you a daughter or a son, a niece or a nephew -- perhaps the child of a friend, who is ready for college? The same fine idealism that guided the Morningside of your day is building for finer and better citizens. Write Mr. V. V. Schuldt today regarding an application for admission. 2. Do you know of persons of means who could be interested in putting their money in the finest investment they can make for the future of society? Help in the education of youth -- write Dr. Roadman today regarding the details. 3. Would $25,000 annually help Morningside grow?- Ten dollars a year from each alumnus is but a small interest to pay on your increased value as a College graduate -- 2,500 Alumni could raise $100,000 in four years-Write Dr. Roadman or Leon Hickman, Chairman of the Alumni Committee, Union Trust Bldg., Pittsburg, Penn., of your vision -- How far can you see?

Carroll Writes of Alumni Meeting In New York On January 11, 1941, Dr. and Mrs. Earl A. Roadman were host and hostess at a fellowship dinner for Morningside Alumni at the Prince George Hotel in New York City. After enjoying a delicious chicken dinner, and the renewing of old friendships and the making of new acquaintances in the alumni circle, each one was called upon by Dr. Roadman to tell about some incident or experience that happened during our college days at Morningside. As we listened to these narratives in which there was humor, joy, and sometimes a note of sadness, one could not help but feel that we were back on Morningside Campus, in her class rooms, and again sharing and enjoying the fellowship of both professors and students. This dinner helped to bring to our minds a new sense of how deeply Morningside College had affected our lives in our own personal outlook and purpose. No finer illustration of this could be found anywhere than in this situation: Robert H . Dolliver is pastor of John St. Methodist Church, the oldest Methodist Church in the United States, and located in the heart of the financial district of New York City. Gordon R. Larhson is pastor of Henry Street United Church, located just east of the Bowery. Henry Street United Church was recently formed by the union of the Presbyterian Church of Sea and Land and the Baptist Mariner's Temple, both of which were steeped in traditions dating back to Colonial days. Next in line is Donald J. Walton, who shepherds the congregations of DeWitt Memorial Church on Rivington Street and the Emmanuel Church on 6th Street. This parish has the l argest Slavic group in New York. Here is a new government housing project, known as the Vladeck Apartments, where 5,950 persons live in 24 modern buildings on an 18-acre plot. The Lower East side of New York is of the outstanding missionary fields of United States. Under-privileged people ing here come from all nations. And three pastors who lead the work of Protestant Church in this needy area Morningside College graduates. one the livthe the are At the close of the banquet program it was the hope of each one there that such an occasion could be an annual affair. The following persons attended the dinner: Mr. and Mrs. Ralph Pierce, Mr. Leon Hickman, Mr. Eldred Raun, Mr. and Mrs. Russell Hammond, Mr. and Mrs. J. Ross Adams, Mr. Fletcher Pollock, Mr. Lee Horney, Rev. and · Mrs. Asbury Stromberg, Mr. Frank Leamer, Mr. Ralph Mahlum, Rev. and Mrs. Donald J. Walton, Dr. Arthur G. Carroll, Mr. Thomas Moon, Mr. and Mrs. Willard H. Bowker, Reverend Robert Dolliver, Dr. and Mrs. Earl A. Roadman, Mr. Wm. Ennenga, Reverend Palches and Mrs. Porter. Biology Club Honors Commencement Speaker The Biology Department is honoring an old graduate, Dr. Ira N. Gabrielson, at a luncheon to be held at Hotel Mayfair, June 2, at 1:00 P . M. Dr. Gabrielson, who is Director of the Fish and Wildlife Service, Department of Interior, Washington, D. C., will be the principal speaker at this luncheon, to which all present and former major and minor biology students are being invited. Word has recently been received that Dr. Fred J. Seaver, '02, Curator of the New York Botanical Gardens and also Editor of Mycologia, is planning to attend. It is hoped that a number of other distinguished graduates will be able to be present. The Biology Club, one of the most progressive clubs at Morningside, is sponsoring this event and insures its success. Conservatory Alumna Is Authoress It is not so often that the Morningside Conservatory graduates enter the writing profession. However, Ruth E . French, Class of '15, has had numerous articles published of recent years. In the February, 1941, issue of The Etude appears her latest article on "Lord Byron In Romantic Music". In the May, 1940, issue of The Etude is an article on "Baseball Memorizing". She has had a total of eighteen articles published within the last fourteen years. These articles appeared in The Etude, Musical Courier, The Classmate, The Weekly Unity · and the Adult Student. Miss French graduated with an A.B. from Morningside College and then from the New England Conservatory in Boston. In 1935 she received an M. Mus. from Northwestern University. She was a former pupil of Professor James Reistrup and has studied with Heinrich Gebhard and Arthur M. Curry of Boston, Mass. Her thesis was written on "The Influence of Byron on Romantic Music". The Voice of 2,500 Alumni Of interest to many former Morningsiders an despecially members of the Northwest Iowa Conference is the following letter from Reverend Albert Burton Gilbert of the Class of 1903, Reverend Gilbert is now a retired minister living at 311 Del Rey Avenue, Pasadena, California. Dear President Roadman: I am enclosing a check for fifty dollars for my Alma Mater to be placed in any fund where you think best. I wish it were more and I hope to be able later on to add to it. It is always a happy thought that I am an alumnus of Morningside College. Neither words nor dollars can in any sense adequately convey to you the cultural, social and intellectual benefits I have received from Morningside. One of the greatest thrills of my life was the receiving of a Doctor of Divinity degree ten years ago next month. That was an occasion of rare privilege to be on the campus once again and to mingle with former fellow students and the professors. Northwest Iowa Conference was my first Conference where I served for thirteen years. In making my little contribution to the college I am mindful of a duty I owe to that conference. Northwest Iowa Conference has been a heroic giver, for fifty years and more, to our college and I am happy now to have had a part in helping the college in its crises while a member of the conference. We are all hoping that the college will be able to maintain its high place in Northwest Iowa during the uncertain months ahead of us. Christianity and democracy must be kept alive at all costs. Please give my regards to Miss Dimmitt. With best regards to you and to your staff of professors, I am, Sincerely yours, A. B. Gilbert. Baccalaureate Choir Elaborate plans are now being made for an alumni choir concert to be held on the evening of June 1, Baccalaureate Sunday. Instead of having a complete choral program presented by the Morningside Chapel Choir, the choir alumni will join the present college choristers in several musical selections. This will give opportunity for all former choir singers to rid their throats of that rusty feeling and again sing under the able baton of Professor Mac. Page 6 Among the Faculty Dr. Paul E. Johnson is the author of numerous artides which have appeared recently in different publications. Among these is the article "The Questions College Boys Ask" which appeared in the issue of the Christian Advocate for March 16, 1941. The 1941 edition of "Who's Who in American Education" includes the names of the following faculty members: Dr. Paul E. Johnson, Dr. E. E . Emme, Dr. J. E. Kirkpatrick, Marcia McNee and Mrs. Hazel E. Carter. Outstanding among musical aggregations in this territory is the Sioux Cityan orchestra conducted by Everett Timm. This orchestra broadcasts from KSCJ. They were organized in the summer of 1939 by Mr. Timm and became a staff orchestra that same fall. Members of the Sioux Cityans are Everett Timm, '36, present faculty member of the college who plays the flute and conducts; Gordon Kinney, present faculty member and cellist; James Vandersall, '36, violinist; Douglas Reeder, '37, violinist; Robert Brooks, bass and trombone ; Gus Hahn, cornetist and Robert Lowry, clarinetist. The last three named are present students at the college. Since Gus Hahn has been inducted into the army Oliver Mogck a senior this year is taking his place. Pierce Wall the pianist is the remaining member of the orchestra. These boys would appreciate heating from their fellow Morningsiders who live within range of the station to know if their program is satisfactory. At the installation dinner of the Sioux City Quota Club on Thursday, January 30, Miss Lillian Dimmitt, dean emeritus of Morningside College, was given an honorary life membership. Dr. Hazel Larson conferred the honor with words of praise for Miss Dimmitt-charter member-by saying she was "one of the finest women God ever made". Former students will be interested in the letter received from Professor Donald S. Warning now of Evanston, Illinois, in which he say that "we are the proud parents of a baby girl born on St. Patrick's Day. Both the baby and Mrs. Warning are fine". Morningside students are suddenly aware that we have another member of the faculty with us. Professor and Mrs. Ira Gwinn are the proud parents of a baby boy, Thomas Wallace, born on April 18, 1941. Mr. Gwinn now has one more boy to "engineer" around. Two of our Morningside faculty have attained a new rank. If you will note in the Class of 1961, Professor Coss and Coach Saunderson are now classified in the "grandfather" roles. May, 1941 Morningside Is Your College-You Can Help Her Grow! The following letter evidences some of the real Morningside spirit which we know all of our alumni feel. "There has been no notice of dues sent to me previously and therefore I have neglected to send any for the previous years. Consequently I am sending four dollars now hoping to make up for the past three years and the current year. I regret that I am unable to send more". This letter was received in reply to the notice of alumni dues just sent. Many of our alumni feel that they would like to do more. All gifts do not have to be of the material nature. We all do not have extra cash to send to the school as much as we would like to. However, we can help spread the feeling of a bigger and better Morningside wherever we are living. We can make the community conscious of the school of which we are proud and which helped us so much. We can help' our Admissions Office hear of students from our community who should be contacted as prospective students. Above all, we can help keep our alumni o·r ganization alive and interesting by reporting any news of our fellow members' activities, as well as our own. Class News -1911Mr. Lancelot S.

Title A name given to the resource Morningsider: Volume 34, Number 09 (1941-05) Subject The topic of the resource Universities and colleges--Alumni and alumnae College publications Source A related resource from which the described resource is derived Archives (3rd Floor) Description An account of the resource The Morningsider was a monthly newsletter that Morningside College sent to Alumni to keep them informed about what was happening on campus and in the lives of other alumni. The Morningsider Volume 34, Number 09 was published for the month of May in 1941. The condition of this issue is not bad, but also not good. There is a crease in the middle of the pages suggesting that it had been folded in half and then kept in that position for a long time. Most of the pages are also not held together by any binding--most are loose because where the pages joined, they ripped apart. There is also scattered rips and creases and folds, along with the fraying of the last page along the top. This issue is not in its best condition, but all of the text is legible and the pictures identifiable.
