THE UMASS STORY
Massachusetts Agricultural College in Its Sixth Year 186
THE RICH HERITAGE of a UNIVERSITY WHICH IS
■Serving the citizens of Massachusetts
■ Dedicating its energy to fulfilling its
responsibilities to the community, the state, the country, and the world
-Looking constantly to the future
"The story of this college is after all simply a story of men and women; audacious, imaginative, persistent in purpose, seeking a light. Their days have been great in themselves, but greater in promise. Their works have come down to us — a heritage, yes, but a challenge. Their story is ours."
Frank Prentice Rand
"Ense petit placidam sub libertate q uiten."
The end of a dream and the beginning of a project occurred simultaneously on April 29 in the year 1863. This day witnessed the appointment of 15 officials, including such men as Col. William S. Clark, Charles L. Flint, Levi Stockbridge, Henry L. French, and Nathan Durfee, selected to find a location for an agricultural college. The idea of an agricultural college was not new.
In 1792 The Massachusetts Society for Promoting Agriculture had been established. In 1814 the Commonwealth had appropriated an annual one-thousand dollars for experimental work and extension work.
In 1825 The New England Farmer had demanded a Massachusetts Agricultural College and Boston launched a campaign for funds.
The dream almost became a reality in 1848 when a bill to establish an agricultural college passed the Senate but failed to get through the House.
In 1856 the Legislature created the Massachusetts School of Agriculture only to have the charter lost during the Civil War
However, the creation of the Morrill Act of 1862 brought the situation to a head, allotting 360,000 acres to Massachusetts, one-tenth of which was to be used for an agricultural college, and two-thirds of the income from the other nine-tenths were to be used for the school. Now the actual work was ready to begin.
Lexington, Springfield, Northampton, and Amherst were ready to invest $75,000.00 each in competition in the enterprise. The site was to go to the community which put up the $75,000.00.
Incited by the late Edward Hitchcock, former President of Amherst College, President Stearns, Colonel Clark and Edward Dickinson of Amherst College convinced the Trustees that Amherst was the best location.
By 1865 Amherst voted $50,000.00 to add to the $25,000.00 already raised by Amherst College Trustees. Henry Flagg French was elected President and the campus farm was purchased; within a year French resigned.
In his place the Trustees elected Paul Ansel Chadbourne under whose administration the first three buildings were erected.
President Chadbourne, however, was stricken with tuberculosis and resigned in 1867. With still no enrollment, the Trustees met on August 7,1867, and elected Prof. William S. Clark of Amherst College as President of Massachusetts Agricultural College.
Along with Clark came Henry Hill Goodell as Professor of Gymnastics, Military Tactics, and French. In 1867 examinations were given in the five buildings which comprised the campus, and the first group of students was admitted at $36.00 tuition.
By the time the first commencement rolled around on July 18,1871, Clark had witnessed the enrollment of 166 students; the establishment of Q.T.V. and D.K.G. fraternities, the Washington Irving Literary Society, and the INDEX; a glee club, an orchestra, and a debating society; a raise in tuition to $54.00 and a $15,000.00 expenditure by the Trustees..
As an extra present to Clark and company, the M.A.C. boat crew won a regatta against Harvard and Brown three days after commencement.
Signs of progress were noticeable in the next few years; the noted Charles Anthony Goessman became the instructor of chemistry; Levi Stockbridge won recognition in both instruction and research in agriculture; an experiment station was established; and to the fraternity roster was added Phi Sigma Kappa. Yet in 1879, the year of Clark's resignation, near disaster befell the College when the Massachusetts government took on a policy of retrenchment-lowering of expenses.

The College had acquired a 132,000.00 deficit. The House voted that the State assume the deficit
but that the Trustees be responsible for any further deficits and that the Governor examine the College
and give a report for its continuance or discontinuance with the provision that its finances would be
separated from the Commonwealth Treasury.
Governor Talbot recommended that the College be incorporated into Amherst College since the College's
need for more money had not been appropriated by the State.
This idea was rejected by both colleges and M.A.C. survived.
There was a dire need of saving money.
The Trustees elected Charles L. Flint to serve as President without pay. Flint resigned in 1880 and
Stockbridge became President only to resign from that position in 1882.
That very year the College rejoiced at the return of Paul Ansel Chadbourne, Doctor of Medicine, Law and Divinity.
Under Chadbourne's administration. Governor Long Provided $4,999.00 for repairs and $5,000.00 for
a drill hall and created the Mass. Agricultural Experiment Station.
Tragedy struck in February 1883, when President Chadbourne passed away.
The INDEX said of him,
" We will not break the stillness of thy sleep.
Thou spirit rare;
Dreamless and blest after restless years,
Seeking to kindle souls with Heaven's light.
Lover of all things fair." In 1883 Governor Butler aided the late Chadbourne's bill for a building to contain a library and a chapel for the purpose of providing intellectual training along with practical training.
James Carruthers Greenough, succeeding Chadbourne as President, went to work fulfilling Chadbourne's plan to liberalize the course of study so that freshmen could elect a scientific-agricultural course or a scientific-literary course. Greenough also received funds to finish the President's house, to build the chapel-library, and to renovate North College.
Henry Hill Goodell became acting-President and succeeded Greenough in 1886. In 1894, he witnessed the largest graduating class to date. ..33-

The Legislature, in the same year, combined the Mass. State Agricultural Experiment Station and the
Hatch Experiment Station.
The College magazine carried the name AGGIE LIFE.
Undergraduates received the innovations of senior electives and exemptions from final exams for high
ranking students.
In the 1896 graduation, President Goodell awarded advanced degrees for the first time in the College's
history. This graduating class was also under a new system whereby students in Boston University
and M.A.C. could simultaneously receive bachelor's degrees from both institutions— a practice which
lasted until 1911.
Another important advancement in Goodell's term was the offering of graduate work.
He remained as President until 1905 and presided over a period which witnessed the first
Inter-Fraternity Conference, the establishment of the Student Senate, the replacement of terms by
semesters, the introduction of varsity basketball, the establishment of junior electives ,
the beginning of Phi Kappa Phi, and on the darker side, the death of the great Levi Stockbridge—
that influential Connecticut Valley farmer who had done so much for this institution with which he
had been associated for 42 years.
An interesting sidelight to note is the rise in importance and popularity of football on the college scene.
Especially interesting was the M.A.C. football record in 1901: The Aggies lost one game to Williams,
The other eight games resulted in the following scores:
Pittsfield 0
W esleyan 0
Tufts 0
W.P.I. 12
Springfield Q
Amherst 0
Mass. 11 Boston College 0 The year 1906 ushered in President Kenyon L. Butterfield, a man great in agriculture, to relieve Dr. William Penn Brooks who was acting President.
President Butterfield was to preside until 1924, except for certain periods in which Dr. James B. Paige and Edward Morgan Lewis took the duties of President.
President Butterfield went all out for organization and set up many projects which he fulfilled before the end of his term. Butterfield reorganized the Student Senate, giving it authority over undergraduate relations; he submitted an organized program for hazing; he engaged George F. Mills to serve as Dean and as head of the division of Humanities; he brought such men as Lewis, Hicks, and Machmer to the M.A.C. roster; he saw his $250,000.00 maintenance bill passed over the veto of Governor Foss; he worked on an Extension Service Program to extend agricultural education to farmers; he presided over the construction Alumni Field.
By 1916, there were 668 students, 72 instructors, a total staff of 175 and 275 courses of study. M.A.C. was the only college in the country concerned with agriculture exclusively.
As its scholastic outlets grew, so too did its social outlets. Theta Nu Epsilon, Kappa Gamma Phi, Theta Chi, Sigma Phi Epsilon, Lambda Chi Alpha, Kappa Epsilon, Alpha Sigma Phi and Delta Phi Gamma were added to the fraternity roster.
Butterfield's reign was marked by the introduction of High School Day, the formation of the debating team, the founding of the Roister Doisters, the change in name of the newspaper to the COLLEGIAN, the establishment of Adelphia and a sadder note — the passing away of the famous Goessman.
The same black cloud that hung over the rest of the world spread its billows over the United States in 1916 as we entered the first World War; 1304 Aggie boys donned uniforms. A Student Army Training Corps was established on campus. Some of the buildings were converted to barracks. In 1921, passersby stopped in front of the newly-constructed Memorial Hall and read,
"WE WILL KEEP FAITH WITH YOU WHO LIE ASLEEP" And if they were to go inside they could see a plaque with the names of 51 Aggie men who never returned from that war.
As the face of the campus was continually changing, so was the species of its inhabitants. A law in 1894 had given the President authority to establish courses for women students. This law proved to be very useful, for after the war years there was a terrific rise in women's enrollment. In 1919 Miss Edna Skinner became head of the Home Economics Department and Adviser to Women, and the first women's dormitory, Abigail Adams House, was erected.
Another important innovation during Butterfield's administration was the establishment of a two-year course in practical agriculture, the Stockbridge School of Agriculture.
East Experiment Station 1910
Butterfield's growing ambitions for the College and the State House's attempts to systematize the business
of the State were approaching head on.
Two important amendments to the State Constitution were passed;
One providing that no State funds would go to any institution that wasn't part of the public control and
the other providing that the General Court organize State activities into twenty departments.
After the passing of the first amendment, the College succeeded in dissolving itself as a corporation and in
having its maintenance provided for by the State.
Therefore, after the second amendment, the College was placed in the Department of Education.
Financial trouble brewed almost immediately between the State House and the Departments, the former
attempting to keep expenses low, the latter trying to increase their resources.
The relations between the College and the State government thickened with red tape. Unhappy because
of the situation, Butterfield resigned in 1924.
Dr. Lewis guided the College until 1927, continually arguing that the College could not be efficiently
administered by the Commission of Administration and Finance.
Somewhat of a victory was won in 1926 when acting-President Lewis and company petitioned the
General Court and Governor Fuller signed the bill which provided that nothing would stand in the way
to harm the powers of the Trustees of the College.
By the initiation of the new President in 1933, the In terfraternity Sing, Maroon Key, Homecoming Day and
departmental honors work had been established.
Alpha Gamma Rho, Sigma Beta Chi, Lambda Delta Nu, Alpha Lambda Mu,and Phi Zeta had been organized.
In February of 1933, President Hugh Potter Baker, who relieved President Thatcher, outlined his
policies for M.S.C., the change of name having come in 1931, after much agitation.
His aim for the College was to produce men and women equipped not only with specific education but also
with culture and understanding.
Baker believed that a College should aid the students by inciting enthusiasm; he expressed the importance of
keeping down expenses.
After the depression hit, Baker expressed his concern in that the College should aid in the problem of conserving
and developing natural resources and that the College equipment could be used in the fight against the
economic slump.
Despite the depression, the institution grew both physically and spiritually.
In 1933 Governor Ely submitted a bill to the N.R.A. program for a new library and boy's dormitory for the College.
In 1934 Goodell Library, named in honor of the late President, and Thatcher Hall, in honor of former
President Roscoe Thatcher who had died the preceding December, were completed.
The curriculum reflected depression effects: special Physical Education courses offered for recreational
and playground instruction; introduction of vocational courses in summer school curriculum to aid
unemployed; increased enrollment by many who couldn't afford privately-endowed institutions.
This last factor presented a problem due to limited facilities.
It was this early depression period which saw sororities move into houses of their own; the opening of the
Campus Store at North College; the establishment of Thursday morning convocations; and the publication
of Dr. Frank Prentice Rand's YESTERDAYS AT MASSACHUSETTS STATE COLLEGE to which we owe
a great deal in the writing of this history.
In his 1935 report. President Baker could list the following accomplishments:
1. Improvements in training and research.
2. Improved opportunities for study and extracurricular interests; more cultural opportunities.
3. Better student leadership and representation.
4. Campus used more for educational meetings of various organizations.
5. Recognized need for planning for increased student body.
6. Increased extension service.
Yet President Baker was worried; the College couldn't possibly take all those who wished to enroll, at
least not without physical additions and salary raises for the staff. Its being grouped with penal and
charitable State institutions, financial control was a handicap.
This fear of security was given a touch of sadness by the death of former President Kenyon Butterfield
on Nov. 26, 1935-
In this same year, an agitation movement was started to bring about a Bachelor of Arts degree. As this
would require a great change in program and possibly alienate groups with agricultural interests in the
College, President Baker didn't push for the degree at this time.
A look at the College in the years 1936 to 1939 can serve as an example of the modern advances made
by this institution.
In 1936 the Women's Athletic Field was dedicated--a representative symbol of how the status of co-eds
had risen.
All freshman men were living on campus for the first time and all students enjoyed the extensive
improvement of classrooms and labs.
The total of credits was reduced from 72 to 60, and the required courses of the first two years were liberalized.
The B.A. award was finally introduced; President Baker pxsinted out that the widening scope of the College
had been a good sign and that the liberalizing movement was legal enough in that the Morrill Act of 1862
hadn't stipulated that it was necessary for a state-supported school to be concerned with agriculture only.
A Campus Planning Council was organized to work on a building plan for the coEege— to provide a map for
the new building locations, including dormitories for the rising enrollment. (The undergraduate body reached
a high of 1208 in Sept. of 1939.)
An allotment of $63,000 was received for renovating South College; the State appropriated $55,000 to the
school for damage incurred due to the 1938 hurricane.
Two more dormitories— Lewis House and Butterfield House, which were completed respectively in 1940 and
1941— were started by the Alumni Building Corporation.
The founding of Isogon organization in 1940 ran parallel to the establishment of another organization of a
totally different nature. This organization was a committee created to make a study of facilities and
services which the College could offer in case the United States became involved in war.
Following this, a College Defense Council was set up.
Later, the College announced that it could accept a program of training civilian pilots and of giving
refresher courses to industrial workers.
These precautions were not futile; on the contrary, they were just the beginning steps in a long program,
for when the U.S. entered the Second World War, M.S.C. launched an all-out program of training and defense
Like all other institutions of American life, M.S.C. had to adapt itself to a new pattern of living due to the
wartime crisis.
Draper Hall in the days of dirt roads and horses
One big problem of the administration was to convince the male students that they should complete their
college education before entering the service; the students were told that everyone had a job in the war
effort and that theirs was right here at school.
A 12 week summer course was instituted to shorten the four year course to three; a training program was
set up including a required physical fitness course for all men, a campus air-raid program, and special
courses in map reading, first aid and public health.
An enlisted reserve program was organized; in 1944, 132 of these reservists were called.
Prof. Ralph A. Van Meter was appointed associate Dean to handle educational and administrative problems
arising from the arrival of U.S. Army cadets for five months of educational courses.
Dormitories were converted into military barracks; fraternity houses served as homes for undergraduate
women; the sororities remained intact (a few of them joined national affiliates during this period ).
Campus Community Chest, scrap metal drives, and bond appeals were organized; ration books were
given out to the students.
Less and less men entered the College; the women outnumbered the men 203 to 73 in the Sept., 1943
registration.
The Stockbridge Course was temporarily shortened to one year.
Commencement exercises were shortened to keep up with the wartime economy.
There were approximately 2700 faculty, students and alumni serving in the armed forces.
As the end of the war approached, the mental attitude of both faculty and student body reverted to college
living. Fraternity rushing was revived and in April of 1945 the Scrolls were organized.
The Alumni introduced a measure for more self-liquidating dormitories to meet the need of the returning
veterans, those on the G.I. Bill, civilians who had postponed their education, and the regular flow of students.
A new movement was in the making to change the name of the College to the University of Massachusetts.
The September registration of 1945 opened in an atmosphere of peace.
It was like a breath of fresh air for this institution which had survived the economic perils of a depression,
a hurricane and a world war.
The post-war era was marked by a renewal of old student organizations, the birth of new ones, and a
revival of sports and extra-curricular activities.
President Baker recognized the need for the extension of higher education at this time.
In 1946 a committee of leading educators set up a two year program at Fort Devens as a branch of Mass.
State College to provide for the overflow of veterans. This service ran until 1949.
After four semesters, the students transferred either to this school or, in some cases, to another college.
By 1947 agitation for a university status increased a great deal. Many veterans couldn't go to private
colleges and attended this College in search of engineering, business or B.A. degrees.
The extensive educational courses, the agitation by many in the eastern part of the state for a university
there and the fear that the College could become lax in effectiveness and organization due to the abundance
of new schools within the College led to a bill to change the status to a university.
Governor Bradford approved the bill on May 6, 1947 and M.S.C. became U. of M.
Because of ill health and advancing age. Baker retired in June.
In 1948, Ralph A. Van Meter was inaugurated President of the University after serving a term as acting Pres.
Van N.'eter saw in his term of office a tremendous growth in enrollment and in expansion of facilities.
Under the bi-partisan support of the State Legislature and Administration, the University prepared to meet
the rising student population (in 1949 there were 621 freshmen, in 1953 there were 1170).
Under Van N!eter's term, the positions of Dean of Horticulture and Agriculture and Dean of Nfen were
created; the new programs in Engineering and Forestry were accredited by professional concerns; a more
detailed guidance service including testing programs was introduced; a twelve-week summer session was
created to allow three-year education in compliance with possible manpower need due to the Korean War;
100 Commonwealth scholarships were established; graduate school was reorganized and enlarged; the
College of Arts and Sciences was authorized; aid to agriculture, homemaking, and youth problems were
carried on by the Extension Service; and a swarm of new classrooms, labs and cement-block dorms were
constructed.
In January 31, 1952 Dean William L. Machmer, who had served the University since President Butterfield
had invited him to the staff— a period of 42 years of service— retired; less than four months later he passed away.
A month before Machmer's death. President Van Meter was hospitalized due to a shock, and Provost Jean Paul
Mather took over to become President on May 11, 1954.
We can forever praise Torrey, Waugh, Machmer, Hicks and countless others deserving of praise; we can comment
on President Mather's fine administration and the work it has done; much more can be said as to history and
recent developments, yet each event in the past is but a stepping stone to the future.
Let us try to foresee that which the future promises for us and at the same time keep in mind that
overwhelming work and progress which has been accomplished in the past.
THE FUTURE
A stereotypical test in the field of psychoanalysis is that of the word association test in which a word is given to the subject under analysis, who, in turn, must state the first word that comes into his mind in association with the given word. The word "Mather" immediately brings to mind the word "progress". The progress of a university can take its course in various forms; physical, spiritual, and academic. President Mather and his administration are fulfilling the meaning of progress in all three forms: physically— through the building additions constructed for both academic and social purposes; spiritually— the installation of a snowball of forward movement amongst the faculty, an environment of future progress substantiated by the visible signs of that which has already been accomplished; academically— continual expansion and introduction of courses; increasing appropriations for science facilities and the development of specialized schools of the University; establishment of the School of Education, the School of Business Administration, the School of Nursing and the Division of Physical Education; a consistent development and replacement program for the College of Agriculture and the School of Home Economics; the improvement of the status of the faculty (the Freedom Bill and appropriation of $100,000 enable the creation of full professorships in a number necessary to establish 45% to 55% ratio of associate and full professors to assistant and instructor level positions and the hiring of professors at rates above the minimum which was established in the state schedule of salaries— this can be done independently eliminating dependence on State House red tape); the Barrington Reclassification Report provides for a salary increase of $1000; the total Barrington increase along with the Freedom Bill will put us on a level of competition with other educational institutions.
In terms of physical expansion, the 1956 Assembly of the Great and General Court of the Commonwealth allotted money for a Library addition, an R.O.T.C. Armory and Classroom Building, a Women's Physical Education Building, and preparation of plans for a Science Building.
There are plans for a $2,000,000 construction of low-rental apartments for assistant professors, instructors, and married students; for a new infirmary; acquisition of new lands; Engineering Shops and Drafting Rooms; all part of the Master Plan to facilitate the 10,000 student population predicted by 1965. An institution such as this must benefit those associated with it by not only internal improvements but also publicity in order to let the public know of its accomplishments, problems and ideals. The Freedom Bill and the Master Plan have brought a great deal of favorable attention to the institution and its problems.
At this present moment we are moving ahead on steps necessary to execute a contract with the I.C.A. Division of the State Department of the United States which will provide us with an expenditure of $175,000 per year for four years to cover a program of exchange for scientists and professors between the University of Massachusetts. This exchange program is a representation of our growing responsibility to the local public and the world.
We are fortunate to have a heads-up President whose aggressiveness is shown not only on this campus but in his devotion to education as a whole.

A recent trend in the field of education is the idea of establishing two-year community colleges to
supplement the present higher educational facilities and to help meet the recognized population problem.
President Mather is a member of a Legislative Commission organized to study the junior college problem.
He intends to work towards securing a larger legislative appropriation to establish a two-year commission
including private and public educators and legislative members, and to make a complete evaluation of the
entire' public higher educational program for the future.
His goal is to bring together the best possible minds and opinions from all sources for developing a
public policy broader than the accepted policy of expanding and developing the University.
Additional fiscal resources are needed for the continuation of the accepted expansion policy here as well
as any extension of higher educational facilities or increase in the amount of state aid to elementary
and secondary education.
In this period of progress and expansion, there will be many problems, yet the President realizes this and
feels that the solution of any problem lies in the creation of new problems.
Though some steps may falter or fail completely, the direction must be forward; we must work together as
a unified body.
We aren't attempting to destroy the past but to build for the future— old opinions do not necessarily have to be
changed, but should be re-examined.
Along with these theses, the Presidentguides his policies by six ideals:
1. The inestimable value of the individual.
2. The mystery of the human mind.
3. The significance of the communicative arts.
4. The contribution of science.
5. The transcendent power of man's ethical mind.
6. A treasury of faith.
"I have no ultimate faith in speed or gadgets but I have an everlasting faith in faith itself, particularly as it is exemplified in the works of a place as alive, and progressive, and intelligent as this campus and its people."— Jean Paul Mather

University of Massachusetts Amherst, Massachusetts
Dear Mr. Barnard:
May I extend my personal felicitations at this time to the administration, faculty, staff, and students of the University of Massachusetts.
Our State University throughout the years has grown in stature and scope and now ranks among the finest institutions of learning in the Commonwealth and the country.
In the years ahead, the University of Massachusetts I am sure will continue to provide its high calibre of educational service to our youth in developing their talents, abilities, and perspectives.
My best wishes to the entire staff for continued progress at the University and to the 7957 graduating body for success in their endeavors as business and professional men and women, as citizens, and as members of the alumni of the University of Massachusetts.

Coach Bob "Squeaky" Horn's Freshman Cross Country team ended its 1956 season with a strong record of
four wins and three defeats.
The Little Redman were paced all year by Jim Keelon and Dick Atkinson, two of the best varsity prospects
seen in the last few years.
The freshman first five was filled out by Bill Knowlton, Doug Burhoe and Ron Carlson who made the
harriers a well balanced club.
The season opened with a loss to Harvard at Franklin Park, but the Frosh bounced back to trip B.U. in a
triangular meet with U. Conn.
Atkinson finished first in the three school field.
Two more impressive wins were added against Amherst and Springfield with Jim Keelan taking both firsts
and Dick Atkinson taking both seconds.
A one point squeaker was lost to Mt. Herman in spite of another 1-2 performance by the two top Redmen.
The Frosh then placed eight in the New Englands at Franklin Park with Atkinson taking a ninth against
the top performers in the East.
A strong win over U.N.H. finished a very successful season for the Little Redmen.

Standing
William Footrick (Coach), Jerrad Gravel, Harold Barron, Bryan McCue, James Wrynn, Harold Glass The record of the freshman indoor track team was one win and two losses, but it does not give a very clear picture of the season.
One of their losses was to a strong Connecticut team by one point, and in their final meet they defeated the New Hampshire frosh by an overwhelming score of 51-43- The Little Redman also rewrote the UMass record books.
Jim Keelon was the boy mainly responsible for the need of a new record book, as he broke three freshman marks, in the 440, 600, and 880, in addition to teaming up with Carl Mayes, Bob O'Malley, and Bill Knowlton to crack the frosh mile relay record.
Leo Downey also shattered three records in his specialties, the weight events. The team enjoyed quite a bit of depth, having strong performers in all events.
In the short distances Gerry Gravel, Harry Glass, and Armand Sabourin were consistent scorers, while in mile Jim Wryenn and Dick Atkins en were a strong one-two punch. The frosh were strongest in the middle distances.
In addition to Keelon Mayes, O'Malley, Knowlton and Everett Brinson all picked up many valuable points during the season.
In the weights Downey dominated the field, as is evident from some of his record-breaking performances. With this strong group of freshmen, Coach Bill Footrick should be looking at the next three years with a gleam in his eye.

VARSITY CROSS COUNTRY
The 1956 edition of the Redmen cross-country team had possibilities of being one of the best in the University's History.
Coach Bill Footrick was looking forward to the promising group of sophomores that had made up his freshman New
England Championship team of last year plus a strong field of veterans.
However, a fine season became a disappointing one with a mediocre record of three and three.
Among the fin prospects from last year's undefeated freshman team was Eric Dahl, the former t cp freshman winner
in New England.

Coach Bill Footrick was looking forward to the promising group of sophomores that had made up his freshman New

However, a fine season became a disappointing one with a mediocre record of three and three.
Among the fine prospects from last year's undefeated freshman team was Eric Dahl, the former top freshman winner
in New England.
Sophs Don Medera and Richie Leonard also showed the potential to become top varsity runners.
The remainder of the team was composed of experienced juniors.
Lee Chisholm had just returned from the service, and this tireless competitor was to act as an unexpected bonus
package to Coach Footrick's harriers.
Tom Flynn, who shared co-captain honors with Lee, had been consistently in the first line finishers in his sophomore
year.
Rounding out the strong list of juniors were Dave Hjerpe and Pete Schwarz.
The season opened with a perfect score, first five finishers, in a win over Williams College 15-38. The team's consistent first man, Lee Chisholm, sparked this triumph with Don Medera ana Tom Flynn close behind. The second meet of the year proved a complete reversal with a loss to Harvard by a perfect score of 48-15. The Redmen then traveled to Connecticut to take part in a triangular meet with U.Conn and Boston University. The U Mass men beat the Terriers, but New England champion Steglety and company from UConn proved too strong for them.
The next UMass victim was Springfield College.
For the second time during the season it was by a perfect score of 15-44. One of the brighter aspects of the victory was the return of Pete Schwarz to action. The lanky junior was undefeated as a frosh, but had forsaken running for the season.
He agreed to return in an attempt to add late seas en scoring punch, and in his first meet Schwarz proved himself, finishing in a three way tie for first with Chishdm and Medera.
Leonard and Flynn filled in the fourth and fifth positions respectively before a Springfield runner could cross the finish line.
The Yankee Conference games were the first of the post season competition. Coach Footrick's proteges took a third behind UConn and last year's champions, Maine.
Until this point the Redmen had made a fine showing with three wins, two losses, and a third in the Yankee Conference games.
In the New Englands where they failed to finish five men and in their loss to a mediocre New Hampshire team they definitely let down.
Perhaps there may have been a difference if a leg injury hadn't slowed up Eric Dahal.
Except for the disappointment of the last two meets it was a very successful season, especially the "perfect score" victories over Williams and Springfield.
Probably the most encouraging aspect of the season is the fact that everyone will be returning. In addition to a year of seasoning a strong freshmen crop should turn UMass into one of the strongest cross- country teams in New England.

VARSITY SOCCER
The soccer team had the spirit but lacked the experience and finished the season with a record d 1 win, 4 losses, and
4 ties.
Despite their unimpressive record, the Briggsmen made a fine showing against all their opponents.
In their opening game of the season the UMass hooters were held to a 1-1 tie by Coast Guard.
Seconds after the starting whistle, last year's high scorer, Billy Burke, took up here he left off by tallying the first
goal of the game and the season.
UMass was the aggressor throughout the first half, and although constantly in Coast Guard territory, they couldn't
seem to get the ball into the nets.
The New Londoners looked sharp in the third period as they tied it up on a well-executed shot.
From then on it was a standstill, and the score remained tied at 1-1.
In their first home game of the season, the Redmen fought their way to another 1-1 tie against W.P.I.
From the opening gun both teams gave it their all, but it wasn't until the half was almost over that either team scored.
Mitch Feingold came out of nowhere and booted the ball past the bewildered W.P.I, goalie.
After the intermission the Redmen and their opponents took turns holding the ball in each other's zone.
In the last period W.P.I, capitalized on a penalty shot and evened the score.
This sent the game into two five-minute overtimes, but neither team was able to gain the advantage.
Hoping to break the tie jinx, the Redmen traveled to Williams to meet one of the strongest teams on the schedule.
The Briggsmen grabbed the lead early in the first period on a goal by Billy Burke.
Displaying the hustle and determination that seems to characterize all UMass soccer teams, our defense repelled
all attempts by Williams to even the score and left the field at halftime with a 1-0 lead.
It was a sad Homecoming at UMass for all the home teams including the soccer men.
Connecticut copped the tilt with goals to spare, 4-1.
Encouraged by an early score on a penalty shot, the visitors drove three more goals into the nets, while the Redmen
could only manage one.
After the intermission the Redmen came out looking like a new team and proceeded to score their first and only tally
with Co-Captain Lou McCarry booting it in.
From then on UConn controlled the ball until the game ended.
Facing one of the better soccer teams in New England, a crippled Redmen outfit dropped its fourth straight game
to Trinity 6-1.
With Lou McCarry and Dick Golas out for the season, the UMass hooters were no match for the powerful Bantams.
Trinity scored first in the second period and kept adding goals until the game ended with the score standing at 6-1.
The lone UMass score came when Ben Doherty received an offside kick and rammed it into the goal.
In their last home game of the season the Briggsmen came back strong to tie the University of Bridgeport 2-2 at
Alumni Field.
The visitors pulled out to a quick 2-0 lead, stifling all Redmen attempts to score.
It was on the strength of Ben Doherty's two second-half goals that the home team earned their, third tie of the
season.
The soccer men ended their win famine with a 4-1 victory over Clark.
For the first time all season the offense really got rolling.
Combining with the steady defense of Co-Captain Ned Bowler and Joe Moronne, the Briggsmen beat the
Worcesterites, scoring in every period but the first.
Clark scored first early in the game, but with the opening of the second period things took a new slant.
The Redmen front line kept the ball in the defender's territory, and Web Cutting broke the ice for the UMass club
on a shot that fooled the Clark goalie completely.
In the third period Billy Burke put the Redmen in front with a beautifully executed shot.
The scoring ended when Web Cutting, scoring his second goal of the day, wrapped it up for the Mass men.
For their last game of the season the Redmen traveled to Medford to meet a strong Tufts team.
The hooters went all out to end the season with a successful note and played a superb game.
However, fate was against them, and all they could manage was a 1-1 tie by virtue of Web Cutting's goal.
Despite the fact that his team experienced one of their worst seasons in many a year. Coach Briggs has the
highest hopes for next year's squad.
This has been an unusual year as far as quantity and quality of freshman material is concerned.
Add to this the twelve returning lettermen, and the future seems bright once again.

FROSH SOCCER
INTRAMURAL FOOTBALL
The 1956 football season was the start of a great year for intramurals.
Spirit and participation reached a new high, and competition was keener than ever.
At the end of regular season play Van Meter A and Lewis A were tied for first place in the dormitory league with
records of five wins and two ties.
This necessitated a playoff, and Van Meter A emerged the winner by a score of 20-0.
The game featured an exceptional amount of running, all three touchdowns being scored on end runs.
The fraternity league championship wasn't decided until the last week of the season.
Until TEP beat both SAE and LCA it was anyone's guess as to who would wear the fraternity crown.
TEP, a pre-season darkhorse, finished their schedule with only one loss.
Their lone defeat was an upset at the hands of AGR.
The season was full of upsets, but perhaps the biggest was AEPi's victory over LCA.
It came in the last game for both teams and pushed LCA out of third place.
In the independent league it was the Old Tads on top for the second straight year.
In that time they have never lost a game in regular season play.
The Old Tads then played Van Meter A, the dorm champs, for the right to meet TEP for the intramural championship.
They jumped out to a quick 7-0 Lead by virtue of an end run by Dick Coleman.
Both teams dug in, and the score was the same when the game ended.
It was a completely different story when the Old Tads met TEP in the championship game.
For the first time during the season the Old Tads were on the losing end.
Sparked by Skippy Elman and Maxie Reinstein, TEP overcame a 12-7 deficit to win by a score 22-12.
Until this year this would have been the last game, but something new had been added.
The intramural department arranged to have a game played between our champions and the champions from the
University of New Hampshire.
Theta Chi represented UNH, and the game was played before the largest intramural crowd of the season.
Both teams played like true champions, with the lead changing hands four times.
TEP led with three minutes remaining to be played, but the Wildcats were not to be denied the victory and
fought back to win by a score of 27-26.

The football team had already been practising for two weeks before the rest of the students returned to campus
for classes.
Spirit was running high in the Redmen camp, but lack of depth in the line posed a serious problem for Coach
Charlie O'Rouke
The team had thirteen lettermen returning, six in the backfield and seven in the forward wall.
Among backs Whalen, Noble, Wright, Mellen, Barous, and Bergquist were the power to explode at any moment.
Ingram, Dolan, and Allen were expected to spearhead the line.
O'Keefe, Miller, Spriggs, and MacRae were also counted upon to be important in a line that lacked both depth
and experience.
Despite the lack of reserves the Redmen still hoped to have a good season.
Then Lady Luck intervened.
Guard Bill Goodwin and back Dick Thompson were lost for the season with broken legs, and tackle Frank Spriggs
and halfback Dickie Wright were put out of action by knee injuries.
The loss of Goodwin and Spriggs was a serious blow to the thin Redmen line, since both were slated as starters.
In the first game of the season the highly spirited Redmen met A.I.C.
The game itself was a seesaw affair with the two teams battling to a 6-6 tie.
The men from Mass. drew first blood on a sensational 68-yard dash by Bob DeValle.
Charl'e Mellen's try for the extra point was blocked, and that was all the scoring done in the first half.
However, in the third quarter, the Aces stopped the UMass offense cold, and when they got the ball they began
their long march downfield.
They finally scored on a 15-yard pass play that caught the UMass club flatfooted.
Their try for the extra point was off to the right, and the score stood at 6-6.
Both teams dug in, and neither was able to push the ball across the goal line.
The Redmen traveled to Boston to meet the B.U. Terriers for the first time since 1892.
The Boston papers had picked the Terriers as a four touchdown favorite, but before the final whistle blew 13,000
fans had seen a determined UMass football team succumb to the B.U. eleven by a deceiving score of 19-6.
Midway through the first quarter the Redmen pushed down to the B.U. 40 yard line and Dickie Wright scooped in a
short pass and went the rest of the way for the game's first score.
The Terriers fought back and tied the score.
The ball kept changing hands for the majority of the third quarter.
Then the B.U. men exploded and added two more quick scores.
The Redmen fought back gallantly, but to no avail.
It was a record crowd that turned out to see our Saturday heroes face Connecticut on Homecoming Day, and it was a
record crowd that watched the home team suffer its worst defeat in its 77 year history.
It was a sad bunch of Umies that left Alumni Field after the final whistle with the score standing at 71-6.
Depth again played an important part in the defeat, as the Redmen were forced to keep using the same players
again and again against fresh Huskies.
The only bright spot for the Redmen was the TD pass from Tommy Whalen to John O'Keefe.
The Rhode Island Rams snapped out of a three game losing streak and extended the UMass losing streak to a like
number by downing the visiting UMies 34-13-
An indication of the final outcome of the game was seen when the Rams scored twice in the first quarter.
UMass struck back in the second period, traveling 72 yards for the score.
The drive was sparked by Tommy Whalen's passing and Bob Feiriane's receiving, with Dickie Wright banging
over for the TD.
The intermission didn't seem to cool down the Rams a bit, and they opened the third period with another score.
In the final stanza the Redmen went back on the war path again and climaxed a long drive with Charlie Mellen
shooting around end for the six-pointer.
Rhode Island closed out the scoring late in the fourth quarter, and that was it for the afternoon.
Despite the loss, there were some bright spots for the Redmen.
Roger Barous returned to action for the first time since the B.U. game, and sophomore Billy Maxwell proved
himself a fine passing quarterback.
It was Dad's Day at Alumni Field, and all the players' fathers turned out to watch their sons gain their first
victory of the season at the expense of Northeastern.
The Redmen jumped off to a quick lead in the first period when Charlie Mellen pitched a running pass to Dick
Wright for the initial score of the game.
A long drive from deep in their own territory enabled the Huskies to tie it up just as the half ended.
The Huskies controlled the ball almost exclusively during the second half, but they were never quite able to
reach pay dirt.
The visitors from Boston were forced to punt late in the fourth quarter, and Mellen took the ball on his own 15.
From there he eluded would-be tacklers and sprinted 85 yards for the TD that spelled victory for a determined
Redmen squad.
The win-hungry Redmen fought their way to a 26-19 victory over Vermont at Burlington.
The joy of victory was somewhat marred by an injury to Bill Goodwin that put him out of the lineup for the
remainder of the season.
The Cantamounts opened the game with a quick score, but the Redmen struck back as Tom Whalen hit Dave Ingram
with a 35-yard aerial for a score.
In the second period the Green Mountain lads pulled ahead on another TD.
The Redmen then took possession of the ball, and proceeded to tie the score on Charlie Mellen's run from the six.
He added the conversion, and UMies led by one point at the end of the first half.
The Redmen really caught fire in the third period and racked up two more tallies.
Both were on pass plays- one from Ronnie Blume to Dick Berquist and another from Whalen to Ingram.
The Cantamounts fought back, scoring in the last period; but it was too late, and the Redmen chalked up their
second win in a row.
Seeking their third consecutive win, the Redmen played host to Brandeis University at Alumni Field.
The day was designated as ROTC Day with all the cadets participating.
The first half witnessed the poorest showing of the team all season.
The Redmen failed to make a single first down, while the Judges poured on a series of scores.
Led by their ace quarterback Jim Stehlin, Brandeis rolled to a 32-0 lead.
UMass managed to salvage some prestige by digging in hard in the second half and pushing 14 points across the
scoreboard.
The UMass TD's were scored on passes from Whalen to Ingram and Barous respectively.
Another tally by Brandeis and the day's scoring ended.
The Redmen came to the end of another trail as they were clawed by the UNH Wildcats 28-7 in their last game of the
season.
UNH opened the scoring midway through the first period on a long aerial.
The Redmen started a long drive, and it looked like the UMass men were going to tie it up; but they ran out of gas,
and the score stood 7-0.
The Redmen opened the third period with an onside kick that they recovered themselves.
Then they turned on the heat, and Barous crashed over just seven plays later with Charlie Millen adding the extra
point to tie up the contest.
However, the last period the roof fell in on the weary Redmen, as the Wildcats scored three times.
The loss marked the end of the most rocky road that the Redmen have trod in several years.
They wound up the campaign with 2 wins, 5 losses, and 1 tie.
However, with the solution to the depth problem at hand in the person of fine frosh prospects, the often repeated
cry of "Wait till next year" rings loud and clear, and with justification.

FRESHMAN FOOTBALL
The 1956 freshman football team, undei the coaching of Hank Woronicz, compiled only a mediocre record of 2 wins
and 2 losses.
However, the team displayed an exceptional amount of spirit and potential varsity talent.
Plagued by the injury jinx right from the opening kickoff against Cheshire Academy, the Little Redmen lost three
of their starters for most of the game.
The frosh couldn't seem to get their offense rolling and went down to a strong Cheshire team 26-0.
A week later the UMass Frosh traveled to Worcester to meet Worcester Academy.
Led by the two scores of Tommy Brown, the frosh turned the game into a romp.
They proceeded to add two more scores, one by Sabourn and one by Kindred.
Final score: UMass 26. Worcester Academy 7.
Intheir first home game of the season the freshmen again proved themselves a strong eleven by downing the
Springfield understudies 27-6.
Scatback Sobourn was the outstanding player on the field, reeling off several long runs.
A third period spelled defeat for the UMass yearlings in their only Yankee Conference encounter against New Hampshire.
The game was a thriller right down to the final whistle with the lead changing hands four times.
Sabourn was again outstanding, as was Paul Magee, a stalwart on defense all season.
The majority of the freshman team are already looking forward to playing with the varsity next fall, and with their
competitive spirit, we'll probably be seeing a lot more of them next fall.
FRESHMAN SWIMMING
The Freshman swimming team under Coach Joe Rogers compiled only a mediocre record of two wins and two losses,
but produced a good array of future varsity material.
In their first meet the Frosh lost to Wesylan by a score of 45 to 30.
However, their next meet was quite a different story.
The Little Redmen took seven firsts in nine events en route to a 54-31 victory.
After a loss to Mt. Herman, the Frosh swam back into the win column.
For the second time this year they captured seven of nine firsts and downed Brandeis 47-27.
Both Charles Knight and John Hennigan finished first three times second once in four meets, and Thompson and
Williams also placed in every meet.
In diving, Bob Sharret was a standout performer taking three firsts and a second in the four meets.
These boys and some of the others should give Coach Rogers the depth necessary for a good swimming team.
U.Mass. Opp. Wesylyan 30 45
Worcester Jr. 54 31
Mt. Herman 27 50
Brandeis 47 27
VARSITY SWIMMING
Paced by Captain Clark Baldwin and Dick Ham, the Mermen posted a season's record of 6 wins, 2 losses and 1 tie. Squeaking by a highly-rated Coast Guard team, and tying a well-matched M.l.T. squad. Coach Joe Rogers' swimmers had one of the most successful seasons of all University Winter Sports.
Leading in the point department, graduating captain Clark Baldwin was a consistent scorer in the 220 and 100, while j unior Dick Ham lost only one race during the season.
A newcomer to the team, but another high scorer was Denny Carroll, a sophomore who swam the 5 0 and 100. Other consistent point-getters were Roger Morin, Bill O'Rourke, and Buzz Richardson who doubled on the diving board and wrestling mat.
Hampered by lack of depth, the Redmen had several close calls, and lost to a better-rounded UConn team toward the end of the season.
Coach Joe Rogers will be losing several seniors this year.
This is the last season for Clark Baldwin, Ralph Doe, Pete Stoler, Sid Goldberg, Bill O'Rourke, and Jim Beattie. Bob Gibbs, recently returned from military service also swam his final season.
This will leave plenty of openings for this years' frosh to fill, and Mermen will be counting on some frosh freestylers and butterfly men in hopes of having as a fine a season as this year. UMass. Opp.

Despite a season's record of only one win and seven losses, the 1957 season saw a steady improvement in the
caliber of the UMass matmen.
The standout performances of Captain Art Raposa, Phil Stowell, and Buzz Richardson give a good indication that
next year's squad will have just the right balance of experience and depth to develop a winning team.
Art Raposa, who finished his collegiate wrestling career with eight wins in eight matches, if the only graduating
member of this winning threesome.
Art, who had no pre-college wrestling experience, became the fine wrestler he is in just four seasons, finishing
this year with an undefeated slate.
Phil Stowell, a sophomore from Needham, was last year's freshman New England Champion.
This year he came into his own, winning seven out of his eight matches.
Along with Raposa he will give the Redmen a fine representation in the New England championships this spring.
Buzz Richardson, who had never wrestled until this season, developed into one of the top heavyweights in New
England.
After losing his first match. Buzz bounced back to win his last seven in a row.
The natural ability of this fine athlete really showed in his rapid progress from a novice to a standout performer
in only two short months.
This year's squad also boasted such men as Ray Marr, George Marcoulier, Roger Davis, Frank Allaire, Al Bendrosian,
Metro Kalafatis, Jim Rutledge, and Al Hoite.
Irv Labovitz, and Pete Montiminy, two other members of the varsity, were sidelined for the season because of injuries.
These two fellows should be back next year to help provide the needed depth the squad will require.
The freshman team will provide some good material for next year in the presence of Bill Harris and Wallace Gordon,
both of whom will wrestle in the New England's this spring.
Coach John Douglas, a fine wrestler in his own right, did an excellent job of putting together the team.
The coach feels that the experience gained this season, coupled with the development of many new boys will give
UMass a strong club for the '58 schedule.
Coach Douglas intends to give exhibitions and demonstrations of wrestling technique next year in order to build up
more student interest and support for the wrestling team.

Coach Steve Kosakowski's hockey team finished its third hockey season in much better style than its six and seven
record indicates.
Standing two and six at one point, the Redmen caught fire for four straight wins before bowing to Amherst in an
overtime period in the last game of the season.
Two of the losses were in overtime, another was to Eastern Small Colleges Champion, A.I.C., and still another
heartbreaker to a powerful Williams club by one goal.
Much of the credit for this year's team success goes to Captain Ronnie Lundgren and Jack Battis.
Both of these boys were brilliant in their three years of skating for the Redmen.
Lundgren was the tireless worker behind many of the goals this year, and Battis averaged fifty-six out of sixty in
every game at defense.
Goalie Gene Demaisselis, Paul Lynch, and Ron Pozo were also quite important in the puckster's attack.
Just before Christmas the Redmen were trounced by a championship A.l.C. team.
However, the team rebounded to whip Amherst College 4-1.
Phillips, Pozo, and Lundgren did the scoring against our cross town rivals.
Early in January the UMass club met a weak Wesleyan team and literally "skated" over them 11-2.
Lynch, with five goals, and Pozo, with one goal and five assists, were the big guns in the scoring attack.
A tough loss to New Hampshire in overtime was the next UMass battle.
Ron Pozo's two goals tied the game in the last period, and from there it was just a case of bad breaks.
Another one goal defeat followed at the hands of Williams, 3-2.
Coach Kosakowski's boys outplayed the Ephmen for the majority of the game, but they couldn't overcome the 2-0
deficit of the first two minutes.
Two weeks later a convincing 5-2 victory over Bowdoin was the start of a late season splurge.
It continued as the Redmen completely out-classed a Holy Cross team by a 2-0 score.
Paul Lynch picked up the scoring honors by driving home both tallies.
The next U.M. opponent was Tufts.
Rated one of the top teams in the East, Tufts went down before Pozo's overtime goal in a real thriller.
A long trip to Maine produced the Redmen's fourth win in eight days.
Bowdoin was the victim for the second time within a week.
A loss to Amherst in a finely played game slightly tarnished a fine season.
Paul Lynch, Ron Lundgren, and Ron Pozo were the offensive workhorses of the club, scoring over 40 goals between them.
Lundgren will be the only one graduating along with Battis; so next year the team is looking forward to an even better
season.

The UMass freshman basketball team finished the season with a 9-6 record after getting off to a strong start.
The frosh rolled over their first three opponents, Northeastern, Tufts, and Trinity, with Bob Eichorn carrying the brunt
of the scoring attack.
Their first setback came at the hands of Leicester Jr. College in a see-saw thrilling 91-89 game.
Mark Apsey, John Lynch, and Fan Gaudette shone in the pressure-packed affair.
One of the best games played by the frosh all year resulted in a loss to a red-hot Holy Cross team.
The Little Redmen matched the strong Crusader five point for point until a spurt late in the game gave Holy Cross a
94-80 victory.
Leo LeBlanc, Phil Athanas, Apsey, and Eichorn all played fine ball in the effort for a big upset.
Dave Ma Kenzie filled in well for Lynch who was burdened early in the game with four personal fouls.
During the last few weeks of the season, the team won four in a row over Rhode Island Amherst, A.I.C., and W.P.I.,
but these wins were sandwiched in by twin defeats to undefeated Connecticut.
Little Gaudette, who stands a mere 5 feet 4 inches, and Eichorn were the sparkplugs of the win streak.
Against Rhode Island, Gaudette's explosion in the last twelve minutes, during which time he poured in eighteen
points, brought UMass from a seven point deficit to a 74-56 win.
At Amherst it was Eichorn's 23 points and Gaudette's late foul shots that were the margin of a 65-63 verdict over
the neighboring Jeffs.
The Little Redmen continued on their merry way with an easy 74-67 win over A.l.C, as the deadly bombing of Bob
Hatch, LeBlanc, and Gaudette were too much for the Aces.
The frosh enjoyed their best offensive output of the season against W.P.I, when they completely overpowered the
Engineers from Worcester, 93-46.
Leading 38-34 at the half, the frosh literally annihilated their opponents after intermission time.
Eichorn came through with a 31 point performance, while Gerry Glynn, Hatch, and Gaudette played key roles in the romp.
Eichorn was the team's top point producer, tallying 252 points followed by Athanas, Gaudette, Apsey, LeBlanc, and
Lynch who were closely bunched together.
LeBlanc was the playmaker of the squad, while Eichorn, Lynch, Athanas, and Apsey gave the frosh a lot of board strength.
Hatch, Glynn, and Dick Green played good ball towards the end of the year, while Gaudette was spectacular in the late
season drive.

Robert Curran (Coach), Roland Dupre, Ned Larkin, Edmond Adamczyk, Stephen Dolby, William McLaughlin,
George Morin, Victor Paddock (Manager)
When the 1956-57 basketball season opened, there were two questions going through the minds of the University students.
One, could Coach Bob Curran build up this young inexperienced team to the heights of last year's record breaking club?
The team had only two returning lettermen- Jack Foley, the brilliant high scoring captain, and Johnny Edgar, the hard
fighting center.
The remainder of the roster was filled out by inexperienced juniors; Akerson, Dupre, Kollios, Morin, and untried sophomores:
Larkin, Adamczyk, Porter, Naedele, McLaughlin and Dolby.
The second question was: would Jack Foley break Bill Prevey's scoring mark of 836 points?
Needing only an average of eight points per game, it seemed almost a certainty.
The only real question was when.
To the surprise of everyone this young ball club broke away to six consecutive wins.
The season started away from home at the Northeastern Field House in Boston.
It was an easy win with Ned Larkin the scoring leader with 22 points and Jack Foley contributing 19-
For the second game, the squad traveled to Hartford, Connecticut, and a game with Trinity College.
The Redmen were hot and downed the Trinity team 85-74.
This time it was Foley with 21 points, and a new light in the U. of Mass. line-up, Don Akerson who added 17 points.
The sight then shifted to Medford and the Tufts Cage.
The Jumbos were absolutely no contest for the Curranmen and bowed 87-65-
The stage was now set for the first home game of the season.
The Reomen played host to the Terriers of Boston University,
and after trailing by two points at the half, the Western Mass.
boys put on a brilliant second half show to overcome the men
from Boston and win their fourth straight 76-62.
The scoring was evenly distributed among Akerson, Edgar,
Larkin, and Foley.
Following this triumph the club went on to defeat two more
rivals by beating Middlebury 87-66 and Brown 64-52 for their
fifth and sixth straight wins.
By virtue of this start, the Redmen were rated as one of the
top teams in New England.
Then came Holy Cross, and the start of a three game losing
streak.
The defeat to Holy Cross was one hard taken by the Redmen.
They played an outstanding game but could not match the
Crusaders' 111 point output.
The final score was 111-96 and UMass absorbed its first loss
in seven starts.
The Curranmen then traveled to Vermont, where the Catamounts handed the Redmen a 73-65 setback.
Still on the road, UMass lost, in a great second half splurge by Rhode Island- 71-63-
Don Akerson was high man, but it was Jack Foley who stole the show by breaking Bill Prevey's old school high scoring
mark of 836 points.
The Redmen fans now looked with anxious eyes at the future games wondering if Jack could reach the 1000 mark.
The Redmen then returned home and proceeded to trounce both New Hampshire and Williams before "hitting the road"
again to Springfield.
A great performance by outstanding sophomore Ned Larkin with 25 points was not enough to overcome the steady
Maroon attack.
The Redmen bowed 74-62, and then broke up the mid-semester "rest".
As the second semester got under way, the squad saw the loss of Dupre and Dolby, but gained newly eligible Dick Alman,
a returning serviceman.
The first game of the semester was a thriller, played to a full house at the cage.
The opposition was provided by the highly rated Eagles of Boston College.
The Redmen played an excellent game, but dropped a heart breaker in an overtime, 68-66.
Jack Foley hit for 10 points and went over the 900 point mark, with 10 games left to reach his goal of 1000 points.
The Redmen traveled to Storrs, Connecticut, to meet last year's Yankee Conference titleholders.
The men from Storrs were entirely too much as the Huskies, led by big men Schmidt and Cooper and small men Quinn
and Osborne were good for 79 points between them.
This was enough to offset the UMass team output of 71 points.
The final score was 97-71 as the Huskies won everything but the ball in a very one-sided game.
The Curranmen then returned home to face the Rams of Rhode Island for the second time.
This time there was fire in the eyes of the Redmen as they took the floor, vowing to avenge their early season loss
at Kingston.
Mass won it going away as Coach Bob Curran cleared the bench using all his players.
The final score was 87-61 with Foley and Adamczyk hitting for 22 and 20 points respectively.
In another away game at W^ltham the visitors met the highly ranked Judges cf Brandeis.
This was truly a magnificant team effort as the Redmen led by sophomore Akerson, Adamezyk, and Larkin upset the
Judges 80-69 and gained their most cherished triumph of the season.
Red Porter, the 6 foot 7 inch sophomore reserve, was outstanding off the boards and also added 9 points to the cause.
Brandeis was led by Rudy Finderson with 31 points, but it was Mass all the way, as they hit for more than 50% of
their shots.
At this point it seemed as though the UMass basketeers were playing their finest brand of ball, but once
more they hit a totally unprecedented slump starting at the Amherst cage.
The Lord Jeffs, enjoying one of their most successful seasons in recent years, displayed a puzzling
defense and a well balanced offense.
It was enough to defeat their cross town rivals 61-44.
The UMass quintet then faced Johnny Jones, and the Aces of AlC at the cage.
Although trailing at the half 34-33, the Aces put on a fast finish to down the Redmen 73-60.
Jones was magnificent for AIC as he rebounded like
a giant and scored almost at will.
For the Umies, it was junior George Morin who hustled
and battled all the way to lead the team scoring with
16 points, his highest output all season.
For the first time in two years Coach Curran was forced
to bench the slumping Jack Foley in an effort to get the
team back on its feet.
However, despite a sensational performance by Johnny
Edgar, the Redmen fell to W.P.I., 71-69, for their fourth
straight loss.
Edgar, contributed 22 points and rebounded marvelously.
The Umies were now 10-10 for the season, and people
were beginning to wonder if Jack Foley would snap out
of his slump and get into the magic circle of 1000 points.
However, the fans of the Redmen didn't have to wait long
for the smooth captain to break out of his slump.
UMass played host to UConn and once again the height
and speed of the Huskies was too much, as they defeated
the Redmen 90-77.
This clinched the Yankee Conference crown for them and they became the first team in the nation to earn a berth
in the NCAA tournament.
The Umies led by Foley with 22 points played one of their finest games of the season, but they just couldn't seem
to close the gap.
It was now time for the high point in Captain Jack Foley's career as he led the hardwooders to Durham, New
Hampshire, where they defeated the Wildcats of U.N.H. 89-69-
Foley entered the game with 995 points and scored 24 more; thus, becoming the first player in the University's
history to score a 1000 points or more.
Larkin and Porter were second and third in the scoring with 17 and l6 respectively.
Foley, the "Worcester Wonder" was presented with the game ball after the contest, and was carried from the floor
on the shoulders of his teammates.
The boys from Umieland then traveled to the Boston Garden and lost a toughie to Charley Twigg and Colby, 70-62.
Twigg scored 28 points and became the first Colby player to go over the 1000 pioint mark.
The loss evened the season's record at 11 wins, 11 losses.
On Saturday night March 2, the Redmen played host to the Black Bears of Maine.
It was not only the last game of the season, but also the last game that Captain Jack Foley would play in a
Massachusetts uniform.
The University thus honored the likeable Captain with "Jack Foley Night".
In pre-game ceremonies Foley was honored with a standing ovation from nearly 4000 fans, a fine tribute to the
popularity of Mr. Foley.
He was presented gifts from his fraternity brothers at Kappa Sigma, the athletic department, and his teammates.
Foley was a humble and appreciative young man as he stood before the microphone and extended his thanks to all.
The Redmen took the floor, and despite an cutstanding performance by Keith Mahoney who scored 39 points, defeated
a tough Maine quintet 88-82.
Five UMass players were in double figures but it was Johnny Edgar, also playing the last game of his college career,
who sparked the Umies to their twelfth and final win of the campaign.
Edgar scored 17 points and was a giant off the boards all night.
Following Edgar, there was Akerson with 16 points, Foley with 15, Adamezyk with 14 and Larkin with 12, to round
out the well-balanced Umie attack.
The basketball season may be over, but certainly it will be a long time bef ae the students or faculty will ever
forget the scoring feats of Jack Foley.
Another who won't be forgotten quickly was Johnny Edgar, who played the last few games of his career with a
broken nose.
He was the team's top rebounder, and as Coach Bob Curran said about next year: "It is very hard for a team to
lose its top scorer as well as its top rebounder and not feel it.
Those two were my only returning lettermen this year and I knew we would have to take our lumps, maybe not as many
as we did, but nevertheless we took them."
Coach Curran did a fine job with the team and next year with the gained experience of this year's young team, the
future could be very bright.
Only the 1957-58 season will tell.

The 1956-57 indoor track team had a very successful season under the fine coaching of Bill Footrick.
Led by Co-Captains Billy Burke and Joe Cardello the team compiled an impressive record of three wins and only one loss.
They also finished second in the B.A.A. Yankee Conference Relay.
The UMass runners got off to a fine start in the B.A.A. games held in early February.
A relay team composed of juniors Tom Flynn, Don Bamford, Lee Chisolm and Billy Burke took a second in the Yankee
Conference Relay, finishing only a few seconds behind the leader.
In their first dual meet of the season the Redmen scored a top heavy win O'er New Britain Teachers 65-30.
Co-Captain Joe Cardello set a new University record by heaving the thirty-five pound hammer 51 feet 7 inches.
Other firsts went to Schwarz in the 1000, Osborne in the high jump, Bailey in the short put, and Leverone in the hurdles.
Their first and only loss of the season came at the hands of a powerful Holy Cross team, 53-41.
Don Osborne was easily the outstanding performer of the day copping a first in the high jump, a second in the high
hurdles, and a third in the low hurdles.
The Redmen redeemed themselves in the next meet by swamping Connecticut 63-32.
In the" process the men from Mass took several firsts and eight seconds in eleven events.
Firsts went to Osborne, Walker, Leverone, Schwang, Bamford and the relay team.
The track men closed their highly successful season with a 51-43 victory over New Hampshire.
High Point getters for the Redmen were Bailey and Osborne, who each had a first and a second.
The team only loses two men because of graduation- Cardello and Ryder.
Coach Footrick expects to get some added help from the freshmen next year and says, "We'll have a well balanced team
with plenty of depth and should do even better than this year."

The 1957 INDEX presents two major innovations from recent editions: a year-in-review done in pictures only
("Student Life"), and a section devoted to the story of the University of Massachusetts- its past and future
("The UMass Story").
The former is presented to give what we believe the University graduate wants- visual memories of college days.
(All the major events of the year are presented in writing in the "Clubs and Organization" section.)
The latter is offered to provide glimpses into the eventful past and promising future of the University in an
attempt to plant in the reader a deeper sense of pride in its accomplishments and a greater concern for its
increading resfxinsibilities.
The entire staff has worked diligently to provide for its fellow students a valuable momento of the
academic year '56-'57.
Our only qualm is that we could not, because of space limitations, present an even more extensive coverage.

This year the COLLEGIAN took a big step in growing with the University by extending its publication to three
times a week.
It had previously been published twice a week.
There is no doubt the COLLEGIAN serves the campus well by keeping students and faculty posted on major
events, both before and after they happen.
As the University's free and responsible press, the COLLEGIAN promotes worthy causes and activities, provides
the public with information about its University, offers a vehicle for the expression of student and faculty opinion,
presents and clarifies the goals and values of the University.
This newspaper also gives the opportunity to many students interested in newspapers to gain experience in that field.
The staff works hard to gain this experience, for it is no easy job to publish a newspaper three times a week!

This year, the Handbook underwent a complete revision and introduced many new features.
Sections of colored pages set off major informational groupings, a block indexing guide helps in locating subordinate
sections, and, for the first time, the calendar is expanded and produced on dull paper to facilitate writing.
The cover was re-designed to match the University catalog.
The Handbook fills a very important need on the campus as a reference volume for students and faculty alike.
It helps in the orientation of freshmen, who receive it before entering the University in the fall.
It is an invaluable aid to upperclassmen who find between its covers answers to most of their questions concerning
campus names, places and procedure.
Much of its information is found nowhere else and from this aspect alone, it is an invaluable aid.

The Freshman Directory, usually referred to as the "Mugbook", has, in its two years of existence, served as a
very adequate instrument for introducing freshmen to the upperclassmen of the University as well as to each other.
This magazine depends for its success upon the co-operation and interest of the incoming freshmen, who supply
their pictures for the book.
Sidney Goldberg may be credited with the fine job of editing this year's issue.
Many other schools have a similar publication made with pictures taken at registration.
Our method, made possible through work during the summer months, enables us to have the book completed by the
time students arrive on campus.
Copies are sold first to the freshmen.
The remaining copies are then sold to upperclassmen.

THE QUARTERLY, as in years gone by, has provided a medium through which University students can publish
their words and further their literary prowess by this encouragement.
One of the new features of this year has been a new page "Odds and Ends", where THE QUARTERLY staff
advises, thanks and pleads with the campus on matters regarding the publication of this magazine.
Also, this year THE QUARTERLY published a poem from a young boy in Helsinki, Finland.
This and other contributions from non-undergraduate members of the University body have helped to
distinguish this student publication.
In the future THE QUARTERLY plans to organize a creative writing group with the Literary Guild
Under the direction of Lorna Regolsky as editor-in-chief, George Putnam assistant editor, Tom Brennan as
make-up editor, and Joel Wolfson as the business manager, THE QUARTERLY is looking forward to
maintaining its reputation as a first-rate collegiate literary magazine.

Ya Hoo, our recently organized humor magazine, has been progressing by leaps and bounds.
Over the past three years the calibre of material has been improving and the magazine is more and more
popular among the University students.
There have been difficulties encountered in recruiting an adequate staff, a common obstacle that must be
overcome by new organizations on campus.
But it seems that growing pains are just about over.
This fall, their cartoonist produced a cover, depicting various members of the student body, which made the
whole student body stand up and shout hurrah!
In retrospect the past two years have been hectic ones for the University humor magazine, but since Ya-Hoo
has thus far successfully weathered all storms, it seems safe to predict that as long as the campus wants to
find relief in laughter, there will be a Ya-Hoo to afford that relief.

The Literary Society is a joint faculty-student administration group designed to encourage the creation, criticisn
and enjoyment of literature.
Last year, the Society was awarded a grant-in-aid from the National Association of Educational Broadcasters
in order to undertake a recording series of nine one-hour programs entitled "As Others Read Us: American
Fiction Abroad".
The Society holds weekly meetings at which a variety of topics are discussed.
Some of these included Amherst poet, Robert Francis, giving a reading of his poetry; Mr. Paul Roche,
instructor in classical languages at Smith, who gave a reading of his verse translation of "Antigone", and
Dr. Manfredi of the sociology department, who spoke on the difference between sociological tracts and novels.
The Society also brings guest lecturers to campus in co-operation with other organizations.
The Literary Society and the Fine Arts Council together sponsored the visit of poet Robert Frost.
The Society and the English Department also co-operated on the visit of Stewart Johnson, research editor of the
NEW YORKER.

As the oldest honorary society on this campus, Adelphia is nearing its half century of dedication.
Each year at the All-University Honors Convocation nine junior and ten senior men are tapped.
This honor recognizes men for their service to the University and men who have proven themselves capable of
great responsibilities.
Men of diverse interests bind themselves together to serve with devotion.
This year, Adelphia can truly be called an honorary society for the first time, for it has established a
scholastic requirement.
Now the members can add scholarship to the long list of merits which are the qualifications for membership.
Adelphia serves the University, beginning with commencement and continuing through the rallies, freshmen
talks, University convocations. Campus Varieties, International weekend and Honors Convocation.
They have enthusiasm to work for the improvement of our University and portray to others the proper attitude
and goals necessary for finer college and future life.

Senior women's honorary society exists to foster traditions of the school, to promote scholarship, intellectual
stimulation, service to the University, evaluation and criticism of campus institutions.
Members of Mortar Board are on many all-campus committees and in most phases of campus life.
Members are chosen at an impressive tapping ceremony each spring in recognition of high scholarship, faithful
service, and outstanding leadership.
This year. Mortar Board has published CO-EDIQUETTE, and held discussions in freshman dorms, both in the
interest of aiding freshmen in making the adjustment to campus life.
Working with Adelphia, senior men's honorary society, Mortar Board sponsors rallies, rally dances and campus
varieties.
This year, a sectional conference of Mortar Board was held at the University. Our Isogon chapter played host
to seven other Mortar Board chapters in the New England area.
Mortar Board is a society which inspires underclassmen and also serves the purpose of developing further the
fine qualities of scholarship, leadership, and service.

The Maroon Key is an honorary service organization founded at the University of Massachusetts in 1926 which
recognizes potential qualities of leadership in twenty-five men from the freshman class.
These men are chosen to assist in programs designed to strengthen all phases of student life.
The Key co-sponsors the orientation program of freshman week with the Scrolls, and acts as host for visiting
athletic teams.
This year, the Key began a managerial program in conjunction with the Physical Education Department,
designed to provide a sufficient number of managers for the athletic teams of the University.
Also begun this fall was the selling of freshman beanies in the men's dorms, which proved to be very successful.
The money from this was used for a scholarship which was presented to a deserving freshman at Honors Convocation.
New members are tapped by sophomore members at the University Honors Convocation in the spring.
These men are picked for the outstanding qualities they show as leaders in the freshman class.

The Scrolls, sophomore women's honor society, is without a doubt one of the busiest groups on campus.
Each spring at the annual All-University Honors Convocation, fifteen freshman women are chosen on the basis of
leadership, scholarship and fellowship to belong to this select group.
The first duty performed by the Scrolls is to help make the freshmen feel at home here.
Plans for freshman orientation are formed and carried out in conjunction with the Maroon Key.
Some of the other duties performed by the Scrolls are to help with registration, sponsor dances, help with
Christmas vespers, take charge of publicity for the Campus Chest Drive, serve refreshments at the Leaders'
Conference and to usher at convocations and graduation--quite a busy schedule.
In addition to all this service to the campus, the Scrolls exert a constant influence on the student body in
maintaining a spirit of co-operation, friendliness and scholastic endeavor.

The General Court of Justice is composed of two parts, the Men's and the Women's Judicial Boards.
As the Court, it is the primary purpose of these boards to render decisions on any constitutional questions which
may arise.
However, the Judiciary Boards normally function as separate bodies.
The Women's Judiciary is composed of five women chosen through popular election by the women students.
Members of Men's Judiciary are elected by the Student Senate.
Each board tries violations of the laws of the University, discusses and weighs all evidence, and gives decisions
which will best benefit the offender, the students and the University.
It is also the duty of the chief justice of the Men's Judiciary to administer the oath of office to new class officers,
senators, and other members of the Men's and Women's Judiciary.

The Women's Athletic Association has done much to provide an opportunity for participation in sports by college women.
They have sponsored a co-rec play day during freshman week, a women's athletic convocation, inter-collegiate play
days, and a dance-concert.
They also have sponsored a fine inter-mural sport competition in basketball, volleyball, badminton, tennis, hockey,
Softball and archery.
All University women are encouraged to participate in these sports and a good-humored rivalry exists among all the
dorms and sororities.
In addition, the Women's Athletic Association sponsors the Naiads, a group of girls interested in synchronized
swimming.
This year, the Naiads put on two excellent performances, one during winter carnival weekend and another during
the open house weekend, in the spring.
Not only do the girls show excellence in synchronized swimming, but their use of lighting and costumes does much to
enhance their performances.
Another organization that is sponsored by the Women's Athletic Association is the Modern Dance Club.
This group was organized to provide the talented students with an opportunity to develop advanced skills in the
field of dance and to participate in a dance performance.
It also provides the University with a vehicle of dance as an art form.
This year it put on a production during the open house weekend which was greatly admired by all who attended tor
the creative ability displayed by the dancers.

Under the supervision of their new coach, Mr. James Bosco, the cheerleaders have made their cheering
program a very colorful spectacle.
The addition of men cheerleaders to the squad has made possible gymnastic feats which were before unknown
to the campus.
They have also increaded their program to include home basketball games besides their regular appearances
at rallies and football games.
In their colorful and casual uniforms, the cheerleaders make a striking appearance, one that the University is
very proud of.

freshman participation in campus activities.
The Revelers began their program when the frosh arrived in the fall.
They help to make the adjustment of the freshmen to college life easier by their many planned activities, such as
the Freshman Inter-Dormitory Sing, the Frosh Picnic, Co-Rec Sports Day and the freshman activities night.
In addition to this, they act in an advisory capacity to the Frosh Inter-Dorm Council, Masquerade Ball, and class
meetings.
With their aid, the freshmen make a good beginning in campus life.
The Revelers indoctrinate them in campus activities and take a very potent part in making the freshmen feel at

It achieves its purpose by regular Friday evening services and Sunday night services.
It also offers non-credit courses in elementary and advanced Hebrew, Yiddish and Basic Belief of Judaism.
CHRISTIAN ASSOCIATION
The purpose of the Christian Association is to further the spirit of Christianity on the University lovel through
personal and corporate worship, through the study of materials that throw light on Christian faith, through social
action growing out of its faith and through promoting true Christian fellowship.
The Christian Association is made up of students from Protestant churches of all denominations.
An active fall program included talks by the Reverend David S. King and the Reverend Thayer Greene.
Christmas Vespers which were also sponsored by Christian Association were well attended by all students.
A Religious Embassy, conducted by Dr. Glenn Olds, was held in February.
Also in February the world famous evangelist, Billy Graham, was a guest of Christian Association.
These features, together with Bible Study, religious courses, work parties and social activities, accounted for
another successful year of Christian Association.

Senate operations, an integral part of modern self-government in a growing university. ...
The Senate has also been active in supporting worthwhile student activities and promoting projects for the better- ment of the University community. , i ,, . • r^ i, j „ „ „,k„. The Senate has sponsored the Debating Society, International Weekend, University Open House and many other
worthwhile projects. , . „„„„,
As usual the Senate Finance Committee ensured that Student Tax money was wisely spent and gave encouragement
to all student groups to undertake quality programs. .
The Student Services committee worked all year toward improving student working conditions, investigating a sound
system of student identification and urging maintenance of a high standard of service in University dining hails.
A problem of major concern to the Senate this year has been the relationship of the Student Union to the overall
campus picture.
The Senate has worked for smooth integration of the Student Union into campus life.
Senators have also served on many University committees, a fact which enables student voice to be given to
problems of all-University Concern.
The place of student government at the University remains secure and ever ready to expand its horizons to
grow with the Massachusetts of the future.

The broadcasting association of the University of Massachusetts, better known on campus as WMUA, is governed
now by a joint student-faculty board.
They produce more than 1800 hours of broadcasting each school year and have served to train many students
in the different phases cf radio work.
Recently WMUA has outdone itself in providing varied programs of interest to all.
They broadcast athletic events taking place both at home and away, world and national news coverage from United
Press, and the popular "Dancing In The Cark" program which provides music for Saturday night dancing.
These are a few examples of the projects they undertake, and the high caliber of programs which they present
regularly.
This year they have added the University hockey games to their long list of programs and they have continued
their policy of keeping the University posted by a fine presentation of election results on election night.
WMUA definitely achieves its goals of providing experience in radio for interested students, providing
entertainment and information to the campus, and promoting the University in the surrounding communities.

Kappa Omicron Chapter of Alpha Phi Omega is an excellent illustration of service on our campus.
The boys in the blue hats with the yellow letters are everywhere and anywhere things have to be done.
A short list of their activities includes, first of all, helping with freshman orientation and registration.
They also conduct lost-and-found at all campus athletic events and information booths at all major
functions on campus.
They hold the U.M.O.C. contest, proceeds of which go to some worthy cause, run the Books-for-Asia
drive, and magazine drives for veterans' hospitals.
Men in this fraternity have dedicated themselves to perform useful service on our campus and to develop
the leadership abilities of their brothers, all in the true spirit of brotherhood.
They achieve their purpose well, for the men in Alpha Phi Omega willingly serve whenever they are needed
and their fraternity is a true asset to the University.

Increasing audiences each year indicate that the Concert Association is fulfilling its obligations in serving social and artistic needs of the campus and of interested persons in the vicinity.
They have presented some outstanding artists this year which include: Jan Peerce, Boston Pops Orchestra, Tucson Boys Choir, Lily Pons and Philadelphia Orchestra. All of these concerts were a huge success, filling the Cage to capacity. The Concert Association has been increasing- ly successful in presenting programs of in- terest to the University population. The students appreciate fully the opportunities they are given, through the efforts of the Concert Association, to attend fine concerts right on our own campus.

THE STATESMEN have been reactivated by a group of interested singers who ex- pect to formulate a pattern which will be imitated in succeeding years. The chief motivation of the organization is not only to sing the regularly accepted songs presented by a college octet, but also to build a wider repertoire. Their appearances on the campus have been highly praised by the whole University population.
Some of their more popular selections in- clude: "Day-0", "Bermuda Buggy Ride", "Daddy, Get Your Baby Out of Jail", and "Blue Moon".
The Statesmen, besides their appearances on campus, have entertained many small groups in western Massachusetts. In this way they serve as effective good- will men for our University. With determination and intense preparation, this organization can become the first concert octet in the history of the University of Massachusetts.

The International Club helps to promote fellowship among the students of the various nations represented on
this campus.
At many of the meetings, there were official representatives from other nations as speakers.
It sponsored a dance at Halloween to which were invited students from Smith, Mount Holyoke and Amherst Colleges.
One particularly interesting program which it sponsored consisted of an international banquet which was held in the
spring.
The foreign students prepared typical foods from various countries around the world.
This worthy organization through its fine work on a small scale helps to contribute to world-wide understanding
and peace.
Its contribution to our campus is one of great importance to a University of our size.
This club does much to create a feeling of fellowship among the many people here who are far from home and are
trying to adapt themselves to a new and strange way of life.

The principle of student self-rule has been extended to include the formation of policy governing the new center of
campus activity the Student Union.
This past year a pioneer group of nine students joined with three faculty members in the joint board which was
given the responsibility of preparing for the addition of the Student Union to the life of the University.
Among the many tasks undertaken were the opening of the Union for Winter Carnival, formation of policy for Union
operations, and structuring of Union governing operation.
These difficult and comprehensive tasks were carried out in a spirit of eager co-operation and avid interest.
A system has been established by which the Student Union Board of Governors will head a highly developed
bureaucratic system of student committees to which the actual program operation of the building will be assigned.

The Debating Society is one of the more recent organizations on campus, with this the first full year during which
it has been active.
In the fall, in conjunction with the Young Republicans Club and the Young Democrats Club, it sponsored a
Republican-Democrat debate.
Also, it conducted a mock-election on campus previous to the presidential election.
This mock-election did a fine job of measuring campus opinion concerning the impending election.
The Society has also participated in intercollegiate debates at Harvard, Dartmouth, and M.l.T.
They have also held many campus discussions and debates.
The Debating Society has done a fine job already in representing the University on other campuses and will
doubtless continue to do so.
ROISTER DOISTERS
Providing interested University students with the
opportunity to participate in all phases of the theatre
arts is the goal of the Roister Doisters, one of the
oldest extra curricular activities on campus.
Roister Doister has maintained its high standard of
theatre skills in widely differing types of
production.
This year the group presented "The Crucible" by
Arthur Miller.
The play was about the witchcraft craze at Salem,
Massachusetts in the 1790's.
This year they again sponsored the inter-class
play competition which was completely student
organized and directed.
This spring they presented "Tiger at the Gate" by
Jean Giraudoux.
This successful performance was repeated at
commencement .
Although its stated purpose is to foster knowledge
in all phases of the theatre, Roister Doisters has
done an excellent job of entertaining the campus
community as a sideline.
CHORALE
The University Chorale this year continued to spread its reputation for fine singing and varied programs. During the season 1956-57, the Chorale presented its usual varied program.
In addition, its program contained a complete Bach cantata, "Unto Us a Son is Born"; a motet by Mendelssohn, "Hear My Prayer"; some of the mystical songs by Vaughn-Williams; the "Alto Rhapsody" by Brahms.
This year the chorale made its annual trip between semesters which spreads good will toward the University throughout the state.
They also sang at the horticulture show, the Governor's Inauguration in Springfield and the dedication of the new Student Union.
The University Chorale is especially fortunate this year in having some excellent and promising soloists. As usual, the members of the University Chorale assist the Operetta Guild in providing competent singing- actors for its annual production.
The University Chorale in association with the Operetta Guild made it possible for the Opera Workshop to begin its activities with financial assistance and technical advice.
DAMES CLUB
In 1952, Mrs. Jean Mather organized the Dames Club, a very necessary organization on campus.
Its members are students' wives who are united to promote culture and a spirit of friendliness among
themselves.
They hold monthly meetings and their program shows a list of varied events.
Their year started off with a reception at the Mathers for old and new members.
In the fall, they had a hayride, at Christmas, a party for the children, and a dinner dance in February.
In addition, they held a cake sale to help the Polio Drive and they participate in open house by having
a cafeteria for hungry visitors.
In addition, the club sponsors smaller interest groups which meet weekly.
These interests include sewing, sports, drama, bridge, cake -decorating and sports.
UNIVERSITY FILM SOCIETY
The University Film Society is a student-faculty committee, members of which are chosen by the English and
foreign language departments on campus.
Each semester this committee presents to the campus a program of foreign and American films which are selected
for their excellence and general interest.
The films are shown mostly on Sunday afternoons and evenings, but the committee plans its programs so that
they will not conflict with other campus events.
The society is to be congratulated for making available to the University a number of varied and enjoyable
films which the student can afford to attend.
INTERNATIONAL RELATIONS CLUB
The International Relations Club was organized to further the recognition and understanding of international affairs. It holds monthly meetings, open to all who are interested, at which lectures on various nations and their complexities are presented.
Its list of speakers include Mr. Carl Lowenstein of Amherst College speaking on the Middle East, Mr. John Marcum of Colgate speaking on French North Africa, Mr. Sidney Monas of Amherst College speaking on Soviet Russia and Hull Winslow of the Near East College Association speaking on the English and American approach. In addition to this, the Club sponsored a trip to the United Nations at New York where the group was given a guided tour through the buildings and an opportunity to view the General Assembly in action. It also assists in the international weekend, an all-campus event.
OPERETTA GUILD
The Operetta Guild has been advancing in popularity in leaps and bounds in the past few years.
Its fine performances deserve this recognition, for the Guild's members are hard workers and do their best each
year to present a flawless production.
This year's performance was "Paint Your Wagon" by Lerner and Loewe, just one of the many hit shows by
these authors.
"Brigadoon" which was produced by the Guild in 1951 and the current Broadway hit, "My Fair Lady", are two
of their more recent shows.
Since this show depicts the era of the Gold Rush, all the male members of the cast grew beards this year and
created a fad on the campus.
The colorful pageantry of the fandango dancers and the dusty miners made this year's show with all new talent
one of the Guild's best.
In addition to its many performances on campus, the Operetta Guild travels to near-by towns where its
performance is sponsored by the alumni association there.
The proceeds of these programs goes toward scholarships for deserving University students.
FINE ARTS COUNCIL
The Fine Arts Council is a faculty-student committee headed by Clarence Shute of the Philosophy department.
The Council presents a program which attempts to cover all the fine arts, music, dance, philosophy and
other aesthetic fields of interest.
Its programs are devised to please the varied tastes of our large college community.
It publicizes its programs in Amherst and vicinity and at the neighboring colleges.
Its program this year had included Professor William H. Darr of Amherst College speaking on "The Matter and
Spirit of Painting", a program of chamber music presented by the faculty members of the Music Department at
Smith College, Geoffroy Atkinson of Amherst College whose topic was "Developing Taste in the French
Renaissance".
Besides this it sponsored the showing of two Print Collections from Bowdoin College and did much in helping
with the presentation of the Arts Festival in the spring.
SQUARE DANCE CLUB
The Square Dance Club provides a recreational outlet for students interested in square dance.
They meet each week for square dancing in Bowditch Lodge.
They also sponsor an all-campus square dance each semester.
In addition to this, they send a demonstration group to the Intercollegiate Folk Festival.
The members of the group provide their own music and many orchestrations of country music.
In both country music and square dance this organization is a vehicle for entertainment to many students
on campus.
OUTING CLUB
The Outing Club provides an outlet on campus to people interested in gaining experience and further rugged
outdoor life.
It sponsors hikes along the Mt. Tom Range and the Metacomet Trail, and mountain climbs up Mt. Greylock
and Mt. Ascutney.
Some of the more experienced members this year made a winter climb up Mt. Washington.
They also visit such caves as Edon's Cave in Great Harrington and Bashful Lady Cave in Connecticut.
The club participates in outings with similar clubs from colleges in this area.
They co-sponsored a square dance at Mt. Holyoke College and a sugaring-off party in the spring.
Meetings are held once a month to plan trips and conduct business.
New members are welcomed and given whatever instruction is necessary for survival.
INTER-DORM COUNCIL
The Inter-dorm Council sponsors an event providing entertainment and recreation for freshmen.
The usual event is a dance in one of the dormitories preceded by a movie.
During the basketball season, it held Open Houses after the games at which music was provided for dancing,
and coffee and cookies were provided for refreshment.
Some of the movies are so popular that they must be shown at Bowker rather than in the dormitories^
In May the council sponsored a freshman picnic which was a huge success.

WOMEN'S DORMS
As usual, life in the women's dorms has been varied, and as usual, each year is busier than the preceding one.
ABBEY
The Abbey, this year filled to absolute capacity, has been the scene of many pleasant experiences for both the fresh- man and upperclass women who live there.
This year the Abbey was also the home of Nina Cordonnes, a graduate student from South America.
The highlight of the Christmas season was the Mistletoe Ball, in which the freshman women played host to the boys from Lewis.
ARNOLD HOUSE
Residents of Arnold House have been kept busy with their classes and extra-curricular activities as well as
the active social and intellectual program in the dorm.
A few of the activities enjoyed by "Arnoldites" are; Saturday night dances, open houses, T.V. popcorn
parties, dorm breakfasts, corridor parties, and many holiday parties.
The holiday parties include such as one for Halloween, a Christmas dance with Baker dorm and a
Valentine party.
However, all activity was not in the social line.
A series of cultural teas presented talks in the fields of music, art, and history.
CRABTREE HOUSE
Last, but by no means least among freshman dorms is Crabtree House.
Their year started with getting acquainted teas, dances and open houses.
A system of Sunday morning breakfasts was initiated.
October brought a traditional Halloween party to residents of this house.
A dorm Christmas party was a must, as was a Christmas formal with Thatcher.
Second semester brought more dances and floor suppers.
The final function of the dorm was to plan a House Buffet Supper which was enjoyed by one and all.
HAMLIN HOUSE
Hamlin House, one of our upperclass women's dorms, has been bustling with activities all year long.
A special project, new and very successful this year, has been the cultural coffee hours presented by the
girls in each corridor.
One particularly interesting one was entitled "Government Is Your Business", and Mr. Stapleton from
Holyoke was Hamlin's guest.
Another very enjoyable coffee hour was an Afterdinner Music Hour.
Hamlin's social activities have also been outstanding.
Along with the very successful and traditional Christmas and Halloween parties, Hamlin has introduced
a friendly affair called "Old Hamlinites Greeting New Hamlinites."
In addition, residents of Hamlin were hostesses for a very fine Veteran's Dance and assisted the
Steward's Club by presenting a buffet supper after the Military Ball.
The year came to a grand close with the Senior Farewell Supper in May.
KNOWLTON HOUSE
Knowltonites started off this year with a series of "Open Houses" held by each floor on alternating nights, thus affording an opportunity for each girl to become acquainted with her dorm-mates. Also in the fall, Knowlton House was the scene of the Red Cross Blood Bank according to custom. A new type of leisure time activity was initiated with the appearance of a television set in the Main lounge.
Since its arrival, the set has provided many enjoyable hours for residents and their guests. Holiday parties were highlights of the year as was the presence of Tresia Munoz, a student from Chile.
LEACH HOUSE
Leach House, which incorporates within its borders "La Maison Francaise", provides the campus with a bit of a cosmopolitan air. The group of girls which makes up "The French House" are French majors and theirs is an ex- periment in living as do the French. Intellectual and cultural enrichment were pro- vided through a series of "fire-side-chats", classical music hours, and dormitory discussions. The main lounge was the scene, in October, of a tea given in honor of Mrs. Leach, for whom the dormitory was named.
And, as a good will project. Leach House resi- dents provided a Christmas dinner and gifts for a D.P. family.
All in all, it has been an extremely busy year for residents of women's dormitories.

MEN'S DORMS
Activity in the Men's dorms this year has been constant and varied.
BAKER
Life at Baker House has been very interesting for its members. An active program of dances has been enjoyed by all. One of the highlights of the year was winning second place in the annual Homecoming Float Parade a just reward for many hours of planning and building an excel- lent float.
CHAD BOURNE
Chadbourne, too, has been a busy dorm this year.
Besides sponsoring a program of movies and dances for its residents, Chadbourne was also the scene
of an active sports program.
Participation in basketball, football and softball provided recreation for many.
Another interesting feature of this dorm was the installation of an intercommunication system this fall.
GREENOUGH
The men of Greenough have sponsored a program this year which has proved to be interesting and
satisfying to its inhabitants.
An intramural sports program is one of the most popular here.
To balance this a series of dorm dances and movies has also claimed recognition.
And, in the spring, the annual Greenough spring picnic was well received by all.
LEWIS
The past year has been a highly successful one for Lewis House.
The men here started off the year with a bang by placing First in the interdorm sing in the fall.
Next, Lewis House was winner of the Homecoming Float Parade.
This was a busy weekend.
Lewis also held a very successful Homecoming Dance.
Then, the highlight of the Christmas season was the Mistletoe Ball which was held with the girls
from the Abbey.
The rest of the year was just as well filled with dances and intramural sports.
MIDDLESEX
Middlesex is the home of the two-year male students on campus.
They too have enjoyed along with their many studies an active year in dorm participation. Some of the most enjoyable events have been exchange parties with freshman girls' dorms, intramural football and basketball games, dorm parties and winter-long County Circle ping pong tournament.
THATCHER
The freshman men of Thatcher House started their program this year with the Freshman
Interdormitory Sing.
Shortly after this a dance was held which was well attended.
Music was provided for the dance by a new Hi-Fi set.
A Halloween party was held for residents of Thatcher and was greatly enjoyed by alL
Just prior to Christmas vacation the annual Christmas Dance was held with the girls
from Crabtree.
Other events for the year included a house Christmas party, a St. Patrick's Day party and
the annual dorm banquet in the spring.
Another much enjoyed project was the newspaper which is put out by Thatcher.
Five issues of the paper were published during the year and were well received by all.
VAN METER
Van Meter's intention is to establish "a system of house government and organization". A system which enhances greatly the harmonously relationship between the governed and those governing.
This was well accomplished thru the dorm program of intramural activities and campus functions, the movies and other programs held within the dorm.
MARRIED STUDENTS
County Circle or as it is better known, Federal Circle, is home to the 60 families going through school as married students.
Within the two buildings making up this community, Hampshire and Suffolk Houses, diapers mix with textbooks, baby powder with slide rules, and housekeeping with term papers. In spite of all the complications, the men find it a rewarding and success- ful journey through UMieland.
Many of the students at County Circle are veterans, completing their education by benefit of Uncle Sam and some are not veterans but students who married early and still want to finish and receive their degree.
Surprising as it may seem, life in these dorms or apartments is not as detached from the rest of the campus as might seem at a glance.
The married students are represented on practically all the Varsity teams, baseball, foot- ball, soccer and many others.
We have Engineers, Lib Arts majors, Phys. Ed. majors and Wildlife majors. The wives too, find college life quite interesting and rewarding.
The biggest social activity facing the wives on this campus is the Dames Club. (See "Dames Club")
The children, even though many are too young to appreciate
their surroundings, seem to have just as much fun as their
parents.
The Dames Club initiated a play school for the young ones
which is in session five days a week all through the school
year.
And of course Christmas time is a big affair with Chic
(Santa Claus) Hamel always having a bag full of presents
for the wee ones.
Every so often some one has a birthday and of course the
whole floor is invited to share the ice cream, cake and
goodies.
The kids are having a wonderful time growing up on a college campus where their fathers,
and sometimes even their mothers, are earning their college degrees.
However, the main reason why mother and father and baby are here is for father to finish
his education.
Dad seems to have a swell time on campus and misses none of the social life.
His time is divided between studying, caring for baby and working.
At the cinder blocks, all dads are chief cooks and bottle washers.
Time is still found for merry times however.
Many are still active in fraternities.
House parties are common affairs with one, two or three families sharing a TV set.
While the rest of the campus is home for the holidays, the county circle comes to life.
Christmas, New Year, birthdays, anniversaries are all good excuses for parties.
And sometimes, the residents don't even need a reason.
Going through school as a married student is a wonderful
experience.
And actually the life is not much different from that of the
typical student or coed.
Every spring the wives of the graduating seniors receive
their degrees in an impressive ceremony at the President's
garden.
The degree is a P.H.T. (Pushing Hubby Through).
All of the wives earn it.
Don't run out and get married just to live at the County
Circle the waiting list had hundreds of names on it.
COMMUTERS
Commuters are the people found in Mem Hall, or were found in Mem Hall.
The first semester of this year they paid their last respects to that hallowed,
but worn out hall.
They have vacated that building for the new Student Union where their
increasing numbers have more room to spread.
Besides enjoying the new facilities and more glamorous environment of the
Union the commuters are becomming more interested and involved in campus
comings and goings.
They are represented in the Roister Bolsters, the Collegian, the Handbook
and many other campus organizations.
More and more of them are joining sororities and fraternities and spending
many extra hours on campus working in Greek events.
As the largest organized group on campus the commuters have formed a
club.
During first semester they sponsored a very successfu Ihayride dance and
Christmas party.
In the spring semester, they held a record hop followed up by their annual
commuters' picnic.
Although at the beginning of the semester many of the commuters missed the
familiar Mem Hall, it didn't take them long to get used to the Union where
they are very much at home.

INTER-FRATERNITY COUNCIL
The Inter-fraternity Council got off to an early start this year with its annual Workshop which is held each fall
before classes begin.
This year two of the main topics were rushing and communal buying.
As always the Inter-fraternity was very competitive and enthusiasm ran high throughout the year long program.
A new rushing program was intiated this year which delayed pledging until the beginning of second semester.
At that time 194 freshmen men pledged the house of their choice.
The council also took a stand on the discrimination issue.
It was strongly urged that the houses do their utmost to eliminate any discrimination clauses in their constitutions.
The council also placed an emphasis on scholarship and their efforts were fruitful in that direction because the
fraternities had a better overall scholastic average this year than they did last year.
The Inter-fraternity Council also awarded its annual scholarship at the Honors Convocation in the spring.
This scholarship is awarded annually to the Junior who has an average of 2.5 or higher for the previous semester.
One of the largest activities of the Council during the course of the year is formulating plans for Greek Week.
This year, in addition to the skits, sings and ball a banquet was held in the Student Union.
To fill any spare time available the Council sponsored a Blood Drive in conjunction with the Panhellenic Council,
parties at the fraternities for orphans, and collecting for the Heart Fund Drive in Amherst.
All in all it was a busy and rewarding year for all involved.
PANHELLENIC COUNCIL
A (^ <^ (^
The Panhellenic Council aims towards promoting understanding and co-operation among the sororities in all
aspects of campus life.
This year under the leadership of Mary-Lou Parker, President of "Panhell", this organization has made great
strides towards the clarification of rushing rules, and the revision of the Panhellenic Constitution.
The group also successfully established the tradition of the Panhellenic "Mum" sale at the Homecoming
football game.
Their other work projects have included the joint responsibility of soliciting for the blood bank with the
Inter-fraternity Council, and the organization of the inter-sorority sing.
On the social level "Panhell" sponsored in every area of the state, summer teas for the incoming freshmen,
followed by a campus tea in the fall.
The annual Spring Workshop which is open to all sorority members provides an excellent opportunity for an
exchange of ideas and has become an invaluable institution in unifying and strengthening the organization.

/ think it was the freedom of "being yourself" and of using the talents, the training, and the inspiration of your OWN time of living that the philosopher Ruskin must have been talking about when he said, "The greatest value in life is life itself."
The freedom of your own personality and ability is a very real and positive thing. It depends to some extent on your formal education, on your mastery of facts and ideas of the past and present. But this very mastery is what gives you the freedom of "being yourself." Because
