This charter is ample for university purposes, as will be seen from the following clause defining the purposes and scope of the in- stitution : The objects and purposes contemplated by this act of incorporation are hereby declared to be, to establish, found and build up, maintain, sustain and perpetuate at or in the vicinity of Indianapolis, in the State of Indiana, an in- stitution of learning of the highest class, for the education of the youth of all parts of the United States, and especially the States of the Northwest; to es- tablish in said institution departments or colleges for the instruction of the students in every branch of liberal and professional education; to educate and prepare suitable teachers for the common schools of the country ; to teach and inculcate the Christian faith and Christian morality as taught in the Sa- cred Scriptures, discarding as uninspired and without authority all writings, formulas, creeds and articles of faith subsequent thereto : and for the promo- tion of the sciences and arts. This, the first definite step toward the realization of a Christian college was followed bv the erection of the old buildings on what is now College Avenue, in the city of Indianapolis. Instruction in the School of Liberal Arts began in November, 1855, and this has been the main field of the college work ever since. About 1873, citizens of Irvington ottered a campus of twenty-five acres and $150,000 for the erection of buildings, on condition that the Northwestern Christian University, as it was then called, should re- move to the suburb. The offer was accepted, and by the fall of 1875. the new buildings were in use. The following year the name was changed to Butler University, in honor of Ovid Butler, who had been the most generous donor. 15 - iticn of the Board of Directors on April 8. 1896, this name was changed to Butler College, since the scope of the work done did not vet warrant the name of university. hus through the vears. not many changes have come to Butler, but she has continued year after i her body of friends and loyal supporters. As a small college in a large city, there are many there is not that college spirit which makes of the student body a united whole and often brings a feeling which is narrow and sell-centered. Though this more narrow sort of loyalty is not prom- utler except in crises, yet Butler men and women all feel that larger inspiration towards higher lings and that feeling of love for fellow students and for the school which is the most perfect tribute. 16 Our Alumni To you we bare our heads as we send our Greeting, for in you lie our pride, our hope, our strength. The Cherishing Mother follows you. watches you, holds you. She looks for your interest and your help ; for your loyalty and your gratitude. She would have you remember : By their fruits ye shall know them : The leaves of the Tree are for the healing of the Na- tion. din iHrmoriam ' Tis sweet as year by year we lose Friends out of sight, in faith to muse How grows in Paradise our store. JOSEPH I. IRWIN AUGUST 13, 1910 PATRICK HENRY JAMESON OCTOBER 7, 1910 Bona Thompson Memorial Library ig equal in construction and (.-(1111111110111 to any in the State was erected during the leralitj of the late Mr. and Mrs. E. C. Thompson, in memory of their daughter, Bona graduate of Butler in the class of 1897. The building is constructed of Bedford k. and is of fireproof construction. It contains two commodious reading ' rooms, li- linar room. ' The hook-stack room, Idled with steel stacks, has a capacity of 60,000 ege library at presenl contains about 16,000 volumes, chosen with special reference to in addition to extensive Ides of valuable government reports and documents. Every 20 year there are added by purchase the latest and best works in the several departments. The encyclopedias, lexicons and other works of reference are numerous, and represent the best and most modern scholarship. By a special arrangement with the Indianapolis City Library Hoard, a free daily delivery of books from the city library to the College library has been established, so that students now have free and con- venient access to libraries aggregating not less than 160,000 volumes. Jn addition to this the State Library, containing 53,400 volumes and located in the State House, is open to students, who will find it valuable for special research. The reading room receives regularly the best publications, weeklies, monthlies and quarterlies of this country and Europe. The advantages of the library and reading room are open alike to all classes of students in the College.

Butler is in the midst of an effort towards greater development, an effort that has been inspired perhaps by two causes: first, the memory of the past, the desire to do our part in handing down the torch that has been so bright in other days; and second, by the increasing realization of the opportunity that lies before the College at present in certain special fields. Of the first of these causes little can be said. Elsewhere in this book the history of the College is given in some detail. From its history and from the men it has sent out into the world we know- what the spirit and aim of Butler have been, and how we should wish them to continue. But the College can hold its own only by advancing in the breadth and thoroughness of its general courses and in the develop- ment of special fields in which there is urgent need or unusual opportunity. And the desire for the College to take full advantage of such opportunities is the second of the two motives that are stimulating us to work for the Larger Butler. Several departments are especially in need of enlargement to meet new conditions. One of these, and one in which Butler, because of its location, has unique advantages among the colleges of the State, is the department of education. The courses in teachers ' training, when organized in a separate department, should draw students not only from all parts of the State, as is now the case, but from other States as well. The scientific work also require increased facilities. Enlarged laboratories are needed in chemistry and biology, and it is desired to establish a separate department of physics. Another line of work, one which has been important during the entire history of the College is in the School of .Ministerial Education. It is hoped to make this more than a denominational school, to make it a school broad enough to attract men of all denominations. An endeavor is now being made to establish a new chair in this department. A larger women ' s dormitory is needed, and an administration building containing an auditorium on the ground floor. In all these ways we wish to strengthen the College. The recent increase in the endowment is a help in that direction, but it has been mainly used in supporting existing work, and for this reason it is insufli- cient to carry oul any of the plans here mentioned. The achievement of the Larger Butler, or even a be- ginning of that ideal, depends on still further increase in the endowment. Half a million dollars more is needed, and for securing this ever}- student, every alumnue. every friend of Butler should plan and labor untirinsrlv.

When the wind has swept the skies And bank ' d the murky clouds in tumbled piles: And the rift in Heaven ' s blue. That softly glimmers through. I ' ve known to be their likeness when she smiles. I have even seen her hair In the golden ev ' ning air. When September ' s molten sunset turns to brown ; Then I ' ve felt her tender gaze. In the limpid purple haze. That nestles on the hill like thistle-down. And I ' ve sometimes seen her lips In the roses ' petal tips. Where the red melts into purple ' s deeper hue ; And her smiles that come and go. Like blood-drops on the snow. I have seen within the sun-kissed drops of dew. And I see her in my dreams : — To my longing heart it seems. She beckons me to come and meet her there : I ' ll reach my hand to grasp her Then just before I clasp her. She ' ll vanish back again into the air. So I ' ll search my whole long life. Re it naught but fruitless strife. And I ' ll find her in the World to which she ' s tied: And I ' ll not have fear of dying. When all around are crying, For she ' ll hold my hand in Heaven when I ' m dead. Tom E. Hibben, Jr. The Highway Robbers one of the coffee houses which characterized the reign of George IV there was seated a group n who were busily reading the latest notices on the bulletin; among whom might be seen the Irm. Jack and his companion, Sir Watts. The announcement in which they were particularly lis: Lady Diana Weston and the Lady Dorothy Roland will spend the day at Lady itry e-tate of Kenton, where they will gather May flowers. Suddenly Sir Watts rose and jj his friend ' s arm. he hurried out of the room. ck, cried he. when they were outside, do you realize that if the Lady Diana goes to Kenton 5S by the place where Colonel Drisccll has made all of his robberies answered Jack, and the Lady Dorothy will be with her. What shall we do. J ' ' y were talking the two men walked rapidly along the street until they came to their lodg- :: gs. Here they sat for some time in silence.

In the very midst of the battle Lad} - Dorothy ' s carriage drove up, containing the two ladies. When the two men saw- it they left off fighting, and dashing forward each drew forth a frightened and indignant Lady. Imagine the surprise of the two Ladies when the men had taken off their masks to find them none other than the Hon. Jack and Sir Watts. Far more imagine the surprise of these men upon seeing each othqr. They were so taken back that they lost all heart and neither dared to execute his plans. Instead, in much con- fusion, they offered excuses and entreaties without number, all of which were turned coldly aside. At last the two adventurers turned sadly back toward London, each cursing his ill omen fate, when the voice of Lady Diana hailed them : Since the danger from highway robbers is so apparent, we ' ll forgive you if you will escort us the rest of the way.

I love the wind that whispers in the eaves. That scarcely stirs the web the spider weaves; And gently solis among the iv leaves. I love the still sad breath of night, That plays among the lillies pale and white: And wraps itselt around with wierd moonlight. I love the wind in storm-clouds dressed. That whirls its angry course From east to west: That seeketh ever — findeth never — rest.

Worked in this place, and ever waging war Upon each ether, wasted all their strength. Vnd till at times from other schools there came Strong bands to harry Butler ' s chosen teams And carry honors to a hostile cam]). And so there grew a mighty discontent And woman here was ever more and mine And man was less and less, till ' 11 came. Then in the days when ' 11 first had come A doubt that had ever smouldered in the hearts « M upper classmen in the college world Flashed into dame and many rules were given To guide the Freshman. Who is he? , they asked That he should rule here, let him tight and show And prove himself a rival to his mate--. In peaceful calm, disdaining ways of war. ' 11 went his way. forebore to light Till, finally when his hostile neighbors still, Declared for war. he sent a warning note Painted on a wall, and tower and walk in green. Then in that place- began the reign of peace. Xo more the underclassmen were at war But only when a rival from afar Came to win honors and bring discontent Did all arise, and standing side by side Work for one object and one honor all. Stirred by the impulse that this class had wrought. These fair beginners of a nobler time. Thus passed the years. Much honor did they bring To noble ' 11, both on track and field. And in debate and in the scholar ' s realm. For he gave leaders to each noble cause. And so time passed. Some noble leaders went, To seek their fortunes in a larger world Of business, law, medicine, or art. And one. a gentle, noble maid is gone Her memory only, has been left to us. And now the time grows short, and soon ' 11, With one last gleam of splendor will have passed. Have gone to take its place as here it filled. The place which needed it in other days. With peace and joy behind and happy days, Which memory fills with thought of work well done ' 11 too will pass and going on From less to less, will vanish into light And the new sun will herald the new vear. 45 Juniors 1912 comes to the conclusion of its third year ' s work with a record for things accom- i 1 s fair to compare favorably with the proceedings of other class organizations of Butler. ambers of the class entered the college as Freshmen, with the opening of the school ■ have played an important part in the various activities of the school. nembers won distinction in a number of events during their Freshman days.

We are no longer compelled to sign up for certain subjects, but are considered mature enough to exercise our own judgment in choos- ing our own courses. From the Sophomore hill we look back upon the mad to yesterday and view the awkward Fresh- men with contempt, compare the Senior Grove of Daphne and say to ourselves. Better be a worm and feed on the Senior ' s notebook than be a Freshman king. To be a Sophomore tickles our anatomy. In the fall this Sophomore class elected the following officers : Everts Johns, president : Marv Brag° vice president; Louis Kirkhoff, treasurer; Elizabeth Baxter, secretary. The principal object of the Sophomore is to surpass all others and our great distinction this vear was received in athletics. Xerxes Silver was elected captain of the basketball team and Everts Johns captain of the track team. The events which have transpired during the past year are so numerous that we can only enumerate a few very briefly. In the fall a dance was given ostensibly to benefit the Lotus Club, but reallv to show off to advantage the persons taking part. Despite the fact that we failed to prove that the Sophomore class was to the rest of the college as all classes were to any one class, the affair was a great success. Let the good work continue. As we engage in retrospection and introspection upon attaining a sophomoralitv. we feel that But- ler is, next to Pose} ' county, the greatest place on earth. Many were the strange ideas with which we entered our Freshman year. We departed with stranger ones. And so the years are passing as years will. It is a glorious privilege to go to college — to be a Sophomore — to reach for the great ideals which college life holds dear And now. gentle reader, we ask your indulgence while we. in jest and earnestness, bring before you this evidence of our ability to portray the life which we. as toilers for the sheepskin, share in our beloved college. Freshman Class Popular sentiment, with something of the John ' J . McCutcheon idea, has represented the Freshman liege as a delightful midsummer nights dream. It is safe to inform the reader that even though e Freshman maintains a shoo-fly-don ' t-bother-me attitude he does not walk through his first year at Butler .in a path of roses. If any one doubts this statement he need only glance over the Freshman theme tablet to dispel the illusion. i  ur class officers for the year were elected shortly after the beginning of the fall term. They are: George Glendenning, president; John Stephenson, vice president; Lucy Hughes, secretary, and Robert Ki-cr. treasurer. Owing t the numerous general activities of college this year the Freshman class, which numbers eighty students, has been individually inactive. Kef. re the (lawn of the gay spring term, most of us by our wonderfully observing natures had learned that the campus had boundaries which distinguished it from Irvington. The campus, we discov- ered. ; bounded on the south by the C. H. D. tracks, on the west by a cement sidewalk, on the north by a row of young Christmas trees and a barbed wire fence, and on the east by the horizon. No smoking. ' [here are some things about the colloge that we do not like. The bells make us nervous, and we find the cinder paths much harder on our soles than the dust of country roads. But after all is said and done, there is noting quite like chapel period. To most of us it brings up memories of home when we used to en- tertain the minister at dinner. e are sincerely glad that the recreation period was abandoned during the winter term. We never t to do with our hands. After this ruling of the faculty had been made one of our classmates to his father that college life was just one heavenly thing after another. V c in the morn and liquid dew of youth are secretly treading in the upper classman ' s path which we hope will lead u- up from this present state of chaos. 48 The Art Department The atmosphere of a studio has an indescribable something- that is different from any other place. It stimulates or relaxes according to one ' s need. It is a place of inspiration and refreshment. So to any one that has ever shared the studio there is nothing- else that quite takes its place. It is one of the busiest, jolliest and most enthusiastic depart- ments of the college. And the high aspirations of the students are guarded by their competent teacher, Miss Taylor, who knows the ar- tistic temperament of the students and guides and directs them along the lines they most need help. The combination of original design, good color, and workmanship on truly beautiful pieces of china, have resulted in making the depart- ment a school of merit and the work has become known for its beautiful colors in dull blues, browns, yel- lows, and greens. Tuesdays and Wednesdays are given to the actual painting of the piece, but Fridays and Saturdays are outline days. The effort of the department to establish a strong school in design has been felt through- out the State, and Miss Taylor has working classes in Kokomo, Wabash and Anderson. These classes are doing the normal work and keep in touch with the school and its work, so the enrollment of students work- ing in this line numbers forty-seven who give at least ten hours per week to this study. The text-book used is The Theory of Pure Design, by Denman W. Ross of Harvard. A pleasant side of the studio life is the sociability and good fellowship that prevails. Impropmtu teas often close the afternoon ; many of the spreads are shared by outsiders, and to the visitor the southeast room of the third floor, presents unlimited possibilities for artistic expression in china, water-color, and black and white drawings. Mabel Long. 411 opowzmm Lotus Club In September, 1906, under the guidance of Miss Clara Mclntyre, a club was formed bv the Butler girls, which was, to some extent, patterned after the Idlers of Radcliffe. Its only avowed motive was to promote the social life and relationship. of all the Butler girls, in other words, to have a good time. Since that time the Lotus Club has lived and prospered. It owes. much of its success to the hearty interest and cooperation of the women members of the faculty and the wives of the professors. In 1907-08 Miss Allen became sponsor for the club and its president was Lucille Didlake (1908). In 1908-09 Miss Mclntyre was sponsor and the president Edna Cooper (1909), better known as the Progressive Prexy. The history of those years has been written in previous Drifts, as has the story of the year 1909-10, when Anna K. Murphy (1910) was president and Miss Graydon acted as ever-ready friend and advisor and by personal interest and work raised the organization to a better, firmer- position than it had ever occu- pied before. In 1910-11 the Club once more called upon Miss Allen to act as sponsor. The others of the execu- tive staff were Sidney E. Hecker ( 11), president; Flora M. Frick ( ' 11), vice president; Melissa Seward ( ' 12), secretary; Mattie Empson ( ' 12), treasurer, and Pearl Wolf ( ' 13), sophomore member. Each month the members have had parties, or musicales, sometimes planned by the committee, sometimes by special or class committees. A successful play was given by club members, who proved their ability to carry through anything, even a successful love affair, without the help of a man. But the Lotus Club does not always discriminate against men, even though it does not admit them to membership. Each term one meeting is open to gentlemen. In March they were invited to a musicale and reception in the Lotus Club room and in December the Lotus Club gave its first dance to which men were admitted. So enjoyable and well attended was this, the largest dance of the college year that the Club decided to make it an annual affair. With the coming of warm weather the Club moves out of doors and is planning a garden party on its sponsor ' s lawn and then a big picnic in the woods to close a most satisfactory and successful year. 51 52 The Young Women ' s Christian Association The leading religious organization among college women,, is in flourishing condition, including in its mem- bership almost every girl in school. The meetings are held each Wednesday from ten to ten-thirty, in the Philokurian Hall. Usually outside speakers, Y. W. C. A. secretaries, members of the State Board, and others especially interested in Y. W. C. A. work, address the girls, but the programs are varied by having the meetings occasionally conducted by the student members. The interest and attendance at the Bible and Mission classes conducted during the year were unusu- ally good. The Association strives to meet not only the strict!) ' religious needs of the girls, but to pro- mote the best possible social relations among them. At the national biennial convention of the Y. W. C. A., held in Indianapolis, April 19-24, 1911, es- pecial interest was shown by the Butler girls, who acted as a reception and information committees during the entire week, and as hostesses at the session and the reception held at the college on Saturday afternoon. 53 ■ection of the Student Young Men ' s Christian Association, with all its glorious possibilities lost heart-felt needs of college men, and of bringing into their lives that glad spirit ing which makes life worth living, is something to be looked forward to with the most E er since the beginning of the spring term the new administration has been serv- vved purpose of reviving all of those true ideals of pure and vigorous manhood and those of ice and enthusiastic attainment for which a student association should stand ■ e weekly religious services have taken on new life, the interest in them, and their help- iched a point equally as high, if not higher than at any time for three or four years. - who compose the cabinet, and who must be the nucleus of the whole movement, y to plan future work and to acquire the training which is absolutely necessary which have been had of that which can be accomplished. ; ers on the inner circle have laid a broad and solid foundation for the achieve- the Association activities may be steadily broadened and an organization built the life of every man in college with the result that each shall become better and happiness, thai each shall do Ids daily work more efficiently, and that each shall b pect. The Philokurean Society e Philokurean Literary Society is one of the oldest organizations of the college. It was founded Northwestern Christian University and maintained its existence in the new Butler Colle ie Philokurean Society was exclusively for the benefit of ministerial students, and n n were admitted. After continuing for several years with this purpose in view, a change was made in :r whereby it became known as a literary society and women were admitted to membership, ear of 1910- ' ll has been one of the most successful in the history of the Society. The discus- • topics of literary interest have been valuable to the members. Fifteen students have ie roll during this school year. The society observes three guest meetings during the year banquet and a picnic. 56 The Sandwich Club The Sandwich Club started as a loose organization in 1904, but has gradually developed into a well- organized body. At that time it was given its present name which hides the real nature and purpose of it, which is to secure young men for, and assist them in the work of the Christian ministry. The mem- bership is not entirely confined to ministers, but includes a few other students who link the organization with other worthy interests of the College. The present membership is about thirty-five. The meetings are held in the Club room in the College building on the second and fourth Friday evenings of each month. At that time a supper is served, after which a program is rendered either by a visitor or a member of the Club. 8 The Butler Collegian The Butler Collegian, the official organ of the College, is a weekly four- paged sheet published by the students, and is intended to report the news about school in a dignified yet newsy manner. The expenses of publishing the paper are met by proceeds from adver- tising and by an assessment of one dollar and a half per student, per year; this assessment being collected as part of the regular tuition. The staff of the paper is selected each June for the succeeding year by a faculty committee. The selection is based upon previous experience of the candidates, or upon the quality of work done in a try-out which may be held. The staff for 1910-11 was as follows: Benjamin H. Reach, editor-in-chief; Fred Schortemeier, assistant editor; Lee Moffett, Xell Reed, Gertrude Pruitt, Sidney Ernestine flecker, Flora Frick, Yida Ayres. Paul Kassebaum and Everts Johns. Ralph I ' .atton was business manager. The Chemistry Club y Club has maintained this year its record Eor interesting programs. Many phases have been treated in the papers read before the Club. Among these there were fordan, of the Indianapolis Water Company; Mr. A. D. Thorburn, of the Pitman-Meyers nber of papers prepared by members of the Club.

It has for the past two years formed the best known musical organization of the College, as it has given many concerts in this city as well as neighboring ones. The Orchestra ie Orchestra is an enthusiastic organization of fourteen members, who represent the best mu- i the College. It is under the leadership of Mr. Doeppers, a member of the German House iv Orchestra, who has proved himself to be a director of exceptional ability. The Glee Club Club was also organized during this last year, and is an outgrowth of the Butler Quar- ctices, which are held regularly, continue to grow in both membership and interest and in a solid inundation for one of the best fields of our College activity. There are at it about thirt; bi rs who are under the leadership of Mr. Embody. Le Cercle Francais Mildred Kuhn, President. Katherine Brown, Vice-President. Mabel Felt. Secretary. Genevieve New, Treasurer. Louise Orcutt. Critic. Edith Habbe. Critic. Grace Thomas Helen Thompson Lucy Hughes Alma Bnschman Cornelia Thornton Charlotte Allen The Butler College French Club was organized February 23. 1911, and is one of the newest of the College organizations. It was founded for the purpose of gaining a familiarity with the French people and their language. At present the Club consists only of Freshmen, as it was thought best by the charter members to limit the membership, so that there might be some uniformity of the knowledge of French. Meetings are held on Wednesday of each week at the homes of the members, and the traits and customs of the French are discussed. A part of each meeting is given to conversation, and the mem- bers playfully assume that the} ' are les petites de France. A great deal of pleasure and much benefit has been derived from the Club and it is hoped that by next year, the members will be able to present a French play of real merit to the students of Butler. 7 £ m Li ml If 1 ■ M Jfl f par. m r , . ?

The purpose of this Club is to give only such modern produc- nized by dramatic critics. play of importance, The Best Laid Plans, was given in 1909, with marked success. The ' , two [days, The Sky Scrapper and Esmeralda, were given under the leadership of :hleppy. A decided improvement over the preceding year was noticeable. The success of the two plays was due principally to the fact that the members of the Club consisted mostly of those who had had experience the year before, and also to the fact that they had as a leader Mr. Schleppy, whose ability as director of staging and acting is w r ell known. This year the Club took up a more pretentious task in the production of For the Honor of the Col- lege, a spirited comedy. The play dealt with college life in a manner which was highly entertaining to the audience. The Club at present consists of seven members. Hugh Shields, president; Chester Marsh, business manager; Ben Keach, Xell Reed, Marguerite Hubbard. Ruth Henrdickson and Helen Reed. They, how- ever, were ably assisted by a number of other students, whose names appear in the cast below. Many of them are now eligible to membership, since they have taken part in the required number of productions. CAST OF CHARACTERS. For the Honor of the College.

The teams of that year won served their real purpose — to revive athletics mi a truly student basis. The ave m . re than fulfilled the hopes of the must optimistic Butlerite. the fact that Butler has never had over one hundred and fifty men enrolled at one i- has been gratifying, and can he accounted for only by the calibre and loyal .. ith the excellence of the coaches. In our coaches we have been especially had excellent records as college athletes, and a large part of our success has been - untiring devotion. A-ho have composed the teams, there has been one star of the first water — Cullen lized by all athletic critics as the best all-around athlete that has been produced It makes no difference what branch of athletics it may be, when Cully lized immediately as the best man on the field. He will always be remem- nates, and idolized by every loyal Butlerite. We ' re glad he has another 68 Football The football season of 1910 opened with practice on the first day of school. There were only six old men back, and two of them were ineligible, so that the coaches were facing the stupendous task of building a team out of practically raw material. And owing to the arrangement of the schedule they had to do it quick, for the Wabash game was only three weeks off. But there were a number of good former high school men on the squad and prospects were good for another championship team by the end of the season. On October first the team won a decisive victory over the team from Georgetown College. The game was played on Irwin field. While the game was marked by loose and ragged playing, it did not fail to interest the rooters, owing to the fact that it was the first exhibition of the new rules which the Indi- anapolis public had been permitted to witness. At no time, from the kickoff to the final .whistle was But- ler ' s goal in danger, as the Kentuckians got no nearer than the fifteen yard line. The one deplorable feature of the game was the injury of Captain Thomas. The absence of Cap tain Thomas from practise during the following week and from the game with Hanover seriously crippled the team. We were barely able to chalk up a five to three victory at Hanover. The play was very loose and was marred by too frequent penalties and unfamiliarity with the new rules on the part of the officials. The next game was a slaughter. The Wabash Giants outclassed us and defeat for Butler was inevitable. Only two of the men who started the game for Butler were in at the close, and they were in no condition to play during the last quarter, but were kept in simply because all the other available men had been used. We who were in the game and saw at first hand the wonderful work of Captain Hop- kins and his men, have often speculated as to what the Wabash team would have done had they been allowed to finish the season. Butler schedule makers learned never to schedule a game with a strong- team at the beginning of the season. The scoretells the awful story : Wabash, forty-eight; Butler, nothing. In the first gridiron contest ever played between the two schools, Butler defeated Aloores Hill Col- lege 011 Irwin field en October twenty-first. Several of our men were out of the game on account of 69 ii the Wabash game. The game was further marred by a muddy field, but we managed to come off with the long end of an eighteen to nothing score. felt fairly satisfied with the result at Bloomington on October twenty-ninth, when Indi- ■er-ity defeated Butler thirty-three to nothing. The value of Captain Thomas to the team was it game. Indiana scored thirty-three points in the first half — then Cull}- entered the game and we held them scoreless in the second half. have often shown their ability to come back, but never so conclusively as the team castle ii November fifth. DePauw had a good team, and by their own statements before ' 1 t heat us by a good score. Their over-confidence was a large factor in our victory. erve all the praise fur they fought like demons through the whole game. Cully ' s punting il. averaging over fifty yards, and he won the game with a drop-kick in the last two minutes y. That was the only scoring done by either side. e Earlham game at Richmond, on November twelfth, we started off with a rush and made a minutes. But the Quakers came back strong, our team seemed to go all to pieces, and mteen to six. The defeat of Earlham by DePauw on the following Saturday tied up tmpionship pretty thoroughly, between Earlham, DePauw and Butler. t work during the next two weeks enabled us to pull down a nothing to nothing tie at ' urkcy Day. Miami was heavy in the line, and had a wonderful pair of half-backs. • hard-fought contest, and the spectators were well pleased with it, as the play was clean, and the officials were Captain Thomas at one end on the All-State eleven, and Batton at left guard im. Thomas was re-elected to lead the team, and with such a leader we can ' t lose. Basket-Bali the season of 1911 was on the whole successful, and certainly an improvement oyer us year. We emerged from the season second in the race for secondary honors. m opened very auspiciously in the Butler gymnasium on January sixth, with a victory over e game was unusually rough owing to the stubborn resistance of the Franklin men in their the so .re lew.

Our team showed first- ;tball at time-, but the team-work of Indiana ' s more experienced quintet was too much for our guard-. The final score: Indiana, forty-one. Butler, sixteen. next game was an easy victory for the Butler quintet. State Normal was defeated at Terre y twentieth, by the score of twenty-live to ten. Silvers and Judd were the shining lights ler. netting four and five field goals respectively. i defeated Butler in the next game at Crawfordsville on January twenty-seventh. The Butler •d a good game in the first half, holding the Wabash quintet ten to eight, but went to pieces in alf. Captain Thomas scored all of Butler ' s points. The final score was twenty-seven to eight. the next game was due to tough luck. We believe in taking a defeat as such, but nent is justified by the fact that the score showed a difference of only one point and that we later administered a decisive defeat to DePauw. ime with Wabash on February third, we at least succeeded in giving them a good If ended twelve to ten in our favor. It sure was a good game, fast, and spectacular how rough! The second session was our undoing. The final score was twenty-five to eighteen in favor of Wabash. Stat - Xormal on February tenth in our own gymnasium; the team did not display it had been showing in the previous games; We won easily thirty-six to fourteen. y on February twenty-first, the team was handicapped by the small Boor 72 and by the fact that the}- were playing under A. A. U. rules. Under these conditions the team played, a good game to hold Cincinnati eleven to fifteen. Kentucky University won from us on February twenty-third, at Lexington by a twenty-one to six- teen score. A badly crippled bunch of Butlerites met the Georgetown College team on February twenty-fourth, at Georgetown, Ky. The score was tied until the last two minutes of play, when the Kentuckians forged ahead and finally won out twenty-two to eighteen. We got sweet revenge on March third; in a fast game with DePauw, Butler started the scoring with a field goal by Silvers, and was in the lead throughout the entire game, winning twenty-five to eighteen. Our basketball team closed the season of 1911 on March sixteenth, by winning an exciting, hard- fought game from Franklin, twenty-two to nineteen. A large factor in the game was the enthusiastic bunch of rooters which accompanied the team. This final game gave us second place in the race for secondary honors. Silvers was elected to lead the team next year, and bur prospects are exceptionally good as all of this year ' s team will be back; 74 Baseball Near the end of the winter term the Faculty passed a rule that will influence Butler athletics very much, for a rear or two at least. No man may take part in more than two branches of intercollegiate activity during any one term, nor more than three during any one year. For the spring term of 1911 this rule effected only Thomas and Silvers. Thomas elected to play tennis as his third activity during the year, which keeps him out of baseball and track. Silvers elected to play baseball, and was thus kept out of track. It is the general belief of the athletes that this rule is a very good one, as some of the men, particularly Thomas, have been overworked in thepast. John Cullen was secured to coach the baseball team. The season opened with practice on March 10th. Several of last year ' s varsity were out and some former high school men, among the latter were Garner, of Brownsburg; Bailey and Baker of M. T. H. S. ; Glendening and Lewis, of Shortridge. and Burkhardt, of Elwood. For the first time since athletics were reinstated, we have a good pitcher in Gar- ner, of Brownsburg. The first game was played with Franklin on Irwin field, and was lost by a 5 to 1 score. The team was not well organized and showed lack of team work. The second game of the season was against DePauw and was played at Greencastle on April 13th. The day may have been a hoodoo, but DePauw has a good team, and an excellent pitcher. The field was muddy and there was a drizzling rain to add to the gloom caused by the ragged playing. The game with Earlham on Irwin field was very satisfactory from a Butler standpoint. The Quak- ers started well, scoring one run in the first, and three in the second. Butler came back, however, in the next two, scoring six runs, and adding four in the sixth. Garner pitched a good game for Butler, getting five strikeouts during the sixth and seventh innings. ■May 5th we were permitted to witness a very exciting game on Irwin field. Danville Normal bowed to Butler to the tune of 7 to 6. The game was close throughout and the visitors tied the score in the first half of the ninth. Then Bailey drew a pass and was sent home when Lewis slammed out a two-base hit. The team is showing a better brand of baseball than any team that has represented Butler for four years. May it continue to do so ! 75 Track Team Butler was fortunate in procuring Carl Harris, a former Chicago University star, to coach the track team this year. lie un- derstood the work and certainly secured the best results possible from the men. The interclass meet was held on April 23, and proved to be somewhat of a welcome surprise in the fact that much better ma- terial was discovered in several of the events than was expected. The Sophomores won by the stellar work of Thomas, who regis- tered 22 points, taking individual honors. The Sophomores scored 46, the Seniors 38, and the Freshmen, 33. Kingsbury and Rob- erts, for the Seniors, secured 20 and 18 points respectively. Hunt led the Fresh- men with 9 pi lints. One of the surprises hi the afternoon was sprung by Hicks, when he took first in the 100-yard dash. Several good intercollegiate meets were scheduled and prospects were bright for a eood showing in all of them. 76 Tennis is the one sport in which Butler has led for several years, and with Thomas to represent us in singles, we should come out ahead again this year. miliary tournament was held on May 4t-h for the purpose of selecting the team.

A COLLEGE EPIC )i all the schools from East to West, Old Butler surely is the best ; Her sons are wise, her daughters fair, Her Faculty — don ' t make me swear. We have a proxy of renown- He wears a mustache and a frown; He grieveth sore, the bunch to can, Hut does his duty like a man. s ' W. after years of ups and downs, The Juniors wear their caps and gowns; We outward coff. but inward pray That we ' ll be there some future day. Within a shady winding path Of Irvington there fell the wrath Of Cully on a thug, who braved er and Ruff ' s life was saved. The Chemists and the Sandwich Club •Sail raised a great hubbub.

While football raged on Turkey Day Professor Green was far away ; We heard amidst the rooter ' s yells The echo of his wedding bells. The Kappas gave us all a shock — They lingered after 12 o ' clock. Two days ' vacation then they spent — The Phi Phis beat them one per cent.

Little John and pretty Mar-y ; Whether in school or whether in play, They always have something worthy to say. So that ' s why, on the honor day, They win a place and continue to stay. MISTAKEN ART.

A toast with brimming glass. And pledge to her a loyal love That shall not wane nor pass. Forever in our hearts shall lie The memory of her days, And while we live and hreathe, our tongues Shall ever sound her praise. So, Alma Alater. here ' s to thee A health, and homage true. And down through all the wailing years Our love shall be for you. And ulu-n into our twilight dreams There steals a thought of thee.
