lili l---ill--J s lili Shakespeare Club The Shakespeare Literary Club was organized in 1879. On account of the records being lost, only four of the charter members are known. They are David lierr, Elmer W. Moore, R. j. Breckenridge, and Samuel Dodds. The literary success of the club has been a series of triumphs, which culminated in the winning of the beautiful loving cup in 1917. The cup was suitably engrav- ed this year and is a source of interest to all visitors as well as an emblem of pride to all club members. The beginning of the Fall term saw a number of old men back, who had been in the service of Uncle Sam. These, with the members of 1918-19, made a good nucleus with which to begin the year. A number of new men have been secured and they are proving to be good Shakespeares. Some excellent debates have been given this year. That the club has good men is shown by the fact that four of its members, D. C. Walters, C. F. Ware, Wayne Furman, and R. K. Beamer, made the lntercollegiate Debating Team. At the close of a successful year, we look back to the many happy hours spent in our club room, and to the fellowship that has been formedg and we regret that the year has passed so quickly. Many of our members graduate this year, and although we look with sorrow upon the parting from the friendships formed within our company, still, in the words of the song written by Dr. R. S. Calder, we are bound by Shakespeare Ties : Dear to our hearts today, dearer than lips can say, Dearest to as always, our Shakespeare ties. Coinrades together we, true friends in loyalty, Brothers in bonds, yet free, in Shakespeare ties. Loved every college hall, loved scenes on 11161'l107'jv',S walls, Loved niost and best of all, our Shakespeare ties. Her songs our soiils shall sing, her praise these walls shall ring, Ever faithful will we cling, to Shakespeare ties. llere truth and honor stay. here joy and love hold sway, Here drive dnll care away, from Shakespeare doors. To live, I.ife's highest art, fail not in any part, Sine Scientia, vita est 1nors. 114 ' l , lzzz im....ll-...laik 1:22

The publication of the journal llourishe.l until ISN. and was always a credit to the club. During the first ten years of the club's existence. meetings were held in the Old Recitation Building, but as the club grew and it was necessary to have greater accommodations. the meetin. s were held in the Administration building. .f tt the present time meetings are held each Monday evening ol' the regular college year. The business meeting is called at 6:30 P. Nl. and is followed by the open meeting at 7:30 P. M. Meetings are conducted according to Ree.l's Parlia- mentary Rules, and a thorough knowledge of Parliamentarism is obtained. During the war, the club was laboring under difficulties due to a small mem- bership, and consequently club was discontinued: but the past year has held greater success for the club. although the membership is not as large as formerly. ln the reminiscences of our college days, club fellowship. student socialibility. never to be forgotten, scenes are enacted. which ever and anon bring the Webster song to our lips: i ln the school fo which zee're loyal ,-'llrna Mater, dear 7'here's a club we all lore truly.
