EUTROPHIAN CLUB. No, ma'am, that green structure over there on Summit avenue is neither pandemonium nor a boiler factory. It is Eutrophian Hall, the home of the Eutrophian Hall Club, and that awe-inspiring sound reminding one of a cross between a Sioux war dance and a Chinese New Year's celebra- tion is simply the external evidence that the Sum-funny orchestra is at its evening rehearsal. Oh, no, that other noise between pauses in the music is not the sound of hands clapping in applause. To him who knows, it means that some luckless Freshman is paying the penalty for tardiness in answer- ing the telephone. Under its first year of self-government, Eutrophian has prospered be- yond all expectation. Without greater expense than that of former years, the inmates have lived in increased comfort. The woodwork has been re- finished, rooms papered, and walls cleaned after every snow fall. The members take a deep interest in politics, and one of the most profitable features of life at the club has been a series of addresses on city politics by aspiring candidates. As a result the members have been abund- antly supplied with campaign material ranging from El Cabbageo Leafos to Tom Moores. The Eutrophian Boarding Club, an organization entirely distinct from the Hall Club, still continues under the same management. Big Chief Johnson continues as of yore to collect the board bills and purchase super- annuated mule in wholesale quantities. Charles Taylor Burnley has suc- cessfully filled the position of chief joker, with Oakley Tripp as understudy and probable successor. Another official worthy of mention is Tilly the nursemaid, who has managed the Freshmen table with consummate ability. f- rs 1' X f +EQ '15 1-, Q ' x 'ffl J xxx Q ,.. iii ff? q i K1- g, 4 X '- 1 -gi S' ' 2 il A as 'MW ' 5. y um .

EDXVARDS' HALL. President ...... .... N . K. Tully Vice President. . . . . .Lloyd Gilmore Secretary ..... ...... E d. Clark Steward. . . ..... Lloyd Gilmore Matron ..................,.......... Miss Anna Wolner Edwards' Hall is a four-story wooden building standing on the cam- pus, between the athletic field and the skating rink. It is of uncertain age, but of ancient appearance. In the basement there are a kitchen, a well filled store room, and two dining rooms accommodating forty boarders. The main floor has two rooms given over to the matron. The second iioor is inhabitated by four Preps, two Freshmen, and two Seniors. The fourth floor, called nigger heavenj' is without form and void. There is a tradition among the oldest of the present roomers that the four rooms of nigger heaven were once inhabited by living men. But that was before the time when man began to keep written records of what he thought and did, and now no trace of those former inhabitants can be found. How- ever, those rooms and all the others are rich in story. Edwards' Hall is the most venerable pile on the entire campus. Many preachers have come from its sheltering walls. It still is renowned for its hospitality, its cook- ing is good, its steward is efficient. New men come to it every fall, and remain with it to become old men the next fall. This is the way it keeps its boarders. It is an institution, while other more pretentious places are merely incidents. Men may come and men may go, But Edwards' Hall goes on forever. 109
