'Lemon' Revived
After 51 Years
The Lemon, a satirical maga
zine published anonymously and
without faculty supervision, last
week made its first successful ap
pearance in 51 years.
Campus police reportedly were
given orders to confiscate copies
because the magazine listed no
publisher as is allegedly required
by state law.
The revival was accompanied
by the flying of a "Lemon" flag—
a sheet with a painted lemon—
from the state flagpole in front
of Old Main a day before the pub
lication was issued.
An attempted revival of the
publication two years ago was
thwarted when borough police
confiscated most copies shortly
after they were distributed down

original Lemon appeared between
1906 and 1908.

• Salutatorian Valedictorian
South America's population has
increased 150 per cent in the last
50 years.
Part of this "explosion" has
been detonated, he said, by us, in
the form of medicines and medi
cal care administered by mis
sionaries and other humanitar
ians.
And we are doing little to help
support these millions of new
people, he said.
Forster was speaking not on
ly of their day-to-day necessi
ties, but also of their new needs
and desires brought on by their
brief glimpses of today's ma
terialistic economy with its at
tendant luxuries.
Forster's address was preceded
by the presentation of the Class
Gift and the awarding of class
honors.
John Bott and Joseph Patton,
co-chairmen of the Gift Commit
tee, presented to University Pres
ident Eric A. Walker the class
total gift of $2500 to be used for
the purchase of a collection of
contemporary American literature
for the Pattee Library. (See Class
Gift story, page 1.)
Frank Warner gave the Sal
utatory Address and Dorothy
Becker the Valedictory Ad
dress.
Warner spoke of the gap be
tween scientific and non-scien
tific pursuits and of the impor
tance of science to today's grad
uates; Miss Becker spoke on the
skills and new understanding
seniors will take away with them.
Women's honors were:
Mary Ann Gemmill, Class
Donor, who presented the other
women's awards; Ellen Dono

scholastic and leadership at
tainment; Eleanor Judy, , Slip

Poet, the award given to some
one of originality who has tra

class poem: and Janet Ours,
Mirror Girl, who is supposed
to look into the mirror of the
future at the seniors' futures.
Men's honors were:

Moran. Barrel Man, the award
which symbolizes the old cin
der scraps on campus and
which is given for excellence in
leader ship and scholarship:
Steve Garban, Cane Man, for
outstanding leader ship: and
Frederick Kerr, Pipe Man.
The Pipe Man award is an 'old
tradition. Its exact significance,
however, has been lost. Most be
lieve it is a symbol of the time
when the "peace-pipe" was
smoked by the formerly fueding
classes of the college. Now it is
a symbol of understanding and
friendship between the classes.
The tradition is that the Pipe
Man safeguard this friendship.
