Pennock is a well-known name to all graduates and undergraduates of the University. He entered college in the autumn of 1911 from the Hackley School.

For the years 1913 and 1914, he achieved a place on the All-America team. Pennock graduated in 1915, receiving his degree "cum laude" in Chemistry. For the six months following his graduation he was engaged in chemical research, working on a new process for chlorinating. He met his death...
...vard Regiment has contributed to the nation's service, and still it remains a hardy growth. In bringing each of its contributions to their maturity, it has gained, for its future direction and work, a corresponding sum of experience. The element of preserved continuity proved its value again this autumn when the officers in charge of the regiment faced a fresh task, after many of their "veterans" had been called to the colors, and when hundreds of entering freshmen had come up for training.

Though the five continents be swallowed up in war, and the Kaiser twist his embattled moustaches a thousand times a day with the fierce conceit of conquest, still football will go on. As long as there is one ball to boot, and one goal...
...keenness of the autumn is in the air. The haberdashers are showing their new suitings. The perennial college boys are going in to the musical comedy with the same abandon of cheerful laughter, of jingling silver, and of bright fall neckties. It might be that nothing is lacking, that the football games and the hockey games and the baseball games should make out the year. The old order changes, but it changes exceeding hard...
