Aware of the many difficulties the emigrant has to encounter, owing to numerous stretches, void of either timber, grass or water, these notes were taken for the benefit of himself and friends, with the view of crossing again the present year. Believing, there- fore, that much of the suffering heretofore experienced in crossing the plains might be avoided, did the emigrant know each day where to pitch his tent the following evening, so as to have the .most eligible situation to procure the articles his wants demanded-- know where he is, and the progress made each day. These, and other reasons of a sim- ilar character, are deemed a sufficient apology, for laying this little work before the public. Numerous Guides of a like purport have been issued from the press, many of which are-quite imperfect, although the most of them have been found to be of great utility to the emigrant. To B. B. I-Iorn's, of Iowa, and Andrew Child's, of Wisconsin, I would refer, as having been of intrinsic worth to theilast ycar's emigrants. But as material changes have been made in the route since their issue, the author of this work, believing that a guide of more recent date than those alluded to, would better suit the wants of future emigration feels warranted in offering it to the public for what it is worth, making COUNCIL BLUFFS CITY, on the Mimouri river, the starting point. He would also apprise all emigrants crossing the Mississippi river above Quincy, that the natural road on the south side of the Des Moines river, is on a fine ridge, extending quite to the Missouri river, and is consequently the best route. Those crossing at Keo- kuk, Montrose, Fort Madison and Burlington, will find it to their advantage to cross the Des llfloines river on the bridge at Farmington, and intersect the divide road at Harmony Inn. The author has deemed it unnecessary to encumber his work with a superabun- dance of words, discussing the advantages and disadvantages of the different routes. He has marked the one be deems most eligible, and the one he would travel, were he to perform the journey again. Neither has he attempted to gloss his work with rhetorical flourishes, for the purpose of astonishing the natives. His object is to benefit the emi- grant rather than excite his admiration of things not serviceable to him on the route. I THE AUTHOR. Dral-eseille, Iowa, F ebruary, 185 3. I5 OUTFIT I will say in the commencement, that although the character of the trip may be greatly modified, yet it is a long and arduous journey, and one that requires a large amount of patience and perseverance to be laid in at the start. No fears need be enter- tained of laying in too much, as a good supply of both will be found to be indispensable articles. As to the manner of outfitting, in other respects, much difference of opinion pre- vails. In regard to stock, take none but No. 1 of- mature age, whether horses, mules or oxen. Either, with proper attention, will perform the trip. Cattle, though generally conceded to be slower, will perform the trip in about ninety days. They are safer and easier taken care of, and pay a better interest on the money invested in them-after arriving in California-than any other kind of stock. My plan of outfitting is as follows, with the supposed cost of each article an- nexed. The wagon should be what is called a two-horse wagon, well ironed, with a bed about ten feet in length, supplied with good bows and a double drill or osnaburg cover. Four yoke of good oxen, from five to eight years old. Such a team is sufficient for the transportation of four persons, with the following additional outfit, with which to leave the Nlissouri river. Time of leaving, first of May, or as soon as supplies for teams can be procured. Supposed cost of wagon and team ..... S5400-OO 400 pounds good flour in sacks ........ 10.00 250 ham and side bacon .... 20.00 200 corn meal .................. 2.00 100 hard biscuit or Boston crackers. . . 7.00 100 crushed sugar .............. 10.00 30 Rio coffee ..... 4.00 30 H4 rice ........ 2.00 30 white beans ... . .75 20 L. B. salt ..................... .25 75 dried apples or peaches ............. . 7.50 100 vinegar pickles, pepper and sundries. . . . I0.00 100 ' cooking utensils, etc ............... . 25.00 100 arms, ammunition and clothing .... . . 100.00 1535 pounds ...................................................... 35598.50 The above is a competent outfit for four persons. As little clothing should be taken as will be deemed absolutely necessary for the trip. The object should he to burden teams with nothing but what is indispensable. Fire arms may be found necessary for defense against the Indians, and a sufficient supply of ammunition should be laid in, as it will be needed in case of an attack. The journey should be pursued steadily, laying by only when immediate necessity requires. If horses are taken, they should be kept well shod. Take also some extra shoes, nails, shoeing hammer and rasp. Although not absolutely necessary, a few ox shoes may be found useful. Turpentine is good to re- move soreness from their hoofs, as well as to harden them. Take-say one-half gallon. An axe, saw, two or three augers, and a mowing scythe are tools sufficient. Have as little communication with Mr. Indian as possible. When you do encounter him, mani- 'fest the spirit of the true American, and you have nothing to fear. We now proceed to give the distance from point to point, beginning, as above re- marked, at Council Bluffs City, interspersing the same with suitable remarks.

At the Fort there is a good general store and several bakeries. Dry creek ......................................................... You now have the Black Hills to contend with-so called because of the dark appearance they present to the eye of the traveler, being covered with black pine trees. Road very heavy, and hard on cattle. Fish Run .................................... Good grazing all along this creek, and water fine. Lake Alkali .................................... . Saleratus Lake ................................ Independence Rock-a few rods to the left of the road. This name was given to the rock by some emigrants who arrived here on the Fourth of July.

F. M. DRAKE. 18 I'aI1CIlS Marion D173 6 gifs DARING pioneer, a dashing soldier and a leader of armed men, a ,kf, l4-A-'51,-ii far-seeing business man and financier, a successful builder and operator of railroads, the founder and generous patron of a uni- versity, the Governor of this great commonwealth-withal a philanthropist and Christian gentleman-such was the eminent X' citizen whose loss the State sustained when Francis Marion Drake on Friday. November 20, I903. obeyed Death's inevitable and irrevocable summons. General Drake's character and career were far from the ordinary, regarded from the point of view of his achievements, although looked at from the view point of the manner and conditions of his life, they were largely typical of the life and careers of the great majority of his fellow citizens. He was blessed with parents of stout and rugged character and high purposes who thoroughly inculcated the lessons of industry, thrift, courage and high-mindedness. His infancy and boyhood were passed on the frontier and his mind and character were moulded amidst the hardships and dangers of the ,pic-neer's life. Two journeys across the plains during the excitement of the gold discoveries, with Indian attacks and constant privationsg shipwreck in the Pacific on his way homeg these experiences early taught him many valuable lessons and developed his traits of character such as the power to do and command and to make generous and heroic sacrifices for the sake of others' welfare. He had hardly got started in business here in Iowa when Lincoln's call for volun- teers stirred his patriotic soul. linlisting as a private he steadily rose higher and higher in responsible commands by the sheer force of merit, by deeds and demonstrated ability to command-until a grievous wound cut short his active army service. He was a real soldier. Attention to duty, the faithful and successful performance of every sort of task assigned him characterized his conduct as well as courageous acts and daring deeds when the battle was on. It was this combination of qualities that won him his star. He had the true commanders eye for he was quick to search and see the enemy's weak pointg and there he aimed his blows quick and hard. His was not a Fabian policy. Once he knew his ground and his men it was forced marches and sudden onslaughts before his foes could collect their wits and their forces. Into business General Drake carried the same principles of action and his success was again equally eminent. He was not much given to talking. He studied his sur- roundings. He looked abroad into other states and perceived the nature of industrial developmentg and he was quick to discern the immense possibilities here in Iowa. But lie not only foresaw what probably would happen, he proceeded forthwith to make things happen and he entered upon his successful career as a projector, builder and oper- ator of railroads that now form so important a part of the vast network of arteries in our State and nation. From these and many other successful business ventures General Drake amassed a substantial fortune which in very large measure he devoted to philan- 19 thropy, to education and to his church. These objects of benevolence were his constant and chief delight. r He lived a quiet, unostentatious life at Centerville among the friends and neigh- bors of a life time. He never cared for the pomp and circumstance of wealth. He was modest and unobtrusive in his giving. It was with no suggestion or desire on his part that the educational institution that he founded at Des Moines was given his name. Although the chief donor to the University he never presumed on that fact in his rela t'ions with the faculty and the trustees-rather he seemed to have been made more reluc- tant to interpose his opinion lest more weight than usual would not unnaturally be ac- c erded them. An interesting instance of his modesty was his refusal to permit some of his friends to correct a perversion of the history of a battle he fought with marked success, whereof his superior officer took the credit although absent and had given directions that would have led to contrary results, and Drake's name was unmentioned in the dis- patches. But while General Drake was modest and unassuming he who presumed too much on his graciousness, he who mistook his desire to please for lack of decision, very soon awoke to the fact that there was a great deal of oak and iron in his constitution. He was Governor while he occupied the oflice of chief executive. On matters chiefly or who'ly political in character he consulted freely with his friends aml co-workersg but when a matter touched him he shouldered responsibility promptly and exercised power vigorously. He could not be whipped about by the varying winds and waves of :senti- ment. One day at the dinner table of a well-known citizen in an eastern Iowa city, some prominent Iowans fell into a lively discussion of the propriety of a then recent commu- tation of a death to a life sentence, by Governor Drake. He listened to the numerous unfavorable comments for some time in stern silenceg but finally hesuddenly blazed forth, bringing his clenched list down on the table with a bang that made the china jump-HI never believed in hanging boys and I never will. The discussion was ended. -Annals of Iowa. F. I. HERRIOTT. 20 QF Ns X M'x,, Nur P .IHA 'I I qv ll LQ Q., G W 1 Y., ' Q E1 . f ,taxi ' 5 ll il I f' A i ,.

CLARK, our new Professor of History, was born on a farm in Illinois in 1864. As a boy, he attended the public schools, and after finishing workin the grades, enrolled in an Illinois normal school. He soon began teaching, but resumed his college work again, and graduated from Eureka College in 1896. He then pursued graduate work,'took his master's degree and specialized in History and Sociology. He became a member of the faculty of Eureka College, and organized the Department of Pedagogy, and became associated in the Department of History. He was also an institute instructor of marked ability. He then did graduate work in the University of Chicago, specializing in History and Political Science. In 1900 he was made a member of the American Historical Association, a member of the Illinois Historical Society and of the State Commission on local historical societies. He accepted the position of Professor of History in Drake University in the fall of 1904. joHN DIEDRICH DAsEN1mocK, A. B., University of Nebraska, 1902. Born in the village of Etzhorn, Grand- duchy of Oldenburg, Germany, February 21, 1869. Attended the i'Volksschule until his thirteenth year, when he was brought to America, the family settling in Platte county, Nebraska. In 1895 he attended a Normal School, taught a country school the following winter, and in 1897 entered what is now the Lincoln Academv, of Lincoln, Nebraska. The following February he entered the University of Ne- braska, teaching a parochial school in the summer. Upon his graduation, June, 1902, he was honored by an appoint- ment to the position of Scholar finstructorl in the De- partment of German. In addition to this he was made instructor in German in his old alma mater, the Lincoln Academy. The year after this he filled the newly created position of teacher of Commercial German in the Omaha High School. While there he received a call to become professor of Modern Lan- guages at Drake University. MR. F I. MEIER was born in Bloomfield, Iowa, February 4, 1877. X He was educated in the Bloomfield Public Schools, and the Southern Iowa Normal of Bloomfield. After graduation in 1899 he became a member of the faculty, which position he held for two years. He took up public school work in 1901, but at the close of the first year decided to return to Normal School work, and again accepted a position as a U member of the faculty of the S. I. N. From the Normal School he went to the Chicago Business College, graduating in 1903, and came to , Drake in the fall of 1904 as assistant principal of the Commercial Department, and upon the resignation of Professor McGregor was given charge of the department.

Zvi? if-A The Book of tbe Cbronicles of 1906 ND behold it came to pass in the last days of the reign of Dean Shep- 9 Q A Q' ard, in the year of the election of President Bell, that the hosts l e NN, of 1906 did come up from their'villages and strong cities, and did K encamp in the city of the Dean. And the report of their might went up into the camp of his subjects, so that they were smitten with a great fear of the men of '06, and did cower and tremble in the dark recesses and corridors of their stronghold. And the name of this stronghold was called after a very great and good man-Drake University. And it was built of stone and of brick, and it was pierced with many windows, so that it was great and mighty to look upon. And the men of '06 were filled with awe when they did enter into it, so that they did submit to most humiliating treatment from the servants of the great Dean. For first there was taken from each one so much of his gold and treasures as did make him poor, and the coffers of the Dean were filled till they were full. And then did come their sisters and they also were siezed, and despoiled of their goods by the commanders of the great university, till that they were stricken sore with poverty, and did have but little in their moneysacks. And it came to pass after not many days that the chief men of the host did gather them together, and did collect them into a band, and chose those who should be leaders of them. For president they did elect one who was a Baker for them, and he was for the leader of the host, a great and mighty man of valor. And for a counselor and father they did take Professor Louis VVorthington Smith, and he is yet living, even unto this day. Now these leaders were wise and skillful in mind, and they did levy upon each of their followers a sum of money which all did pay. And all did straightway become bankrupt. And the men of '06 did look around, and behold 'they were strangers one unto the other. And the leaders did decree for to spread a great feast in the large and splendid metropolis, Valley Junction. And this they did, and when they had eaten and drunken they rose up to play. And when it was growing late, and the last car had come, they did return to the university, and behold they had lost not one from all their number. And they did rejoice with an exceeding great joy, so that the Sophomores would fain put cotton in their ears to remain asleep. Now, when not yet many days had passed, the members of 1905 had become so overbearing and boastful in their actions, that the heretofore peaceful members of the 06 class were driven to lay plans whereby the suppression of this evil might be accomp- lished. For which cause they did erect to maintain their honor, a Hag pole of many cubits in height, and to the top of this they raised the banner of gold and black that has been the pride and boast, yet notwithstanding, the fear of all the other classes of the Dean's servants even unto this day. For when the conquering Hag was raised, and the winds were Haunting it defiantly 42 over the heads of its outwitted enemies, the spirit of exceeding great bravery was aroused in the the breasts of the men of '06, and their mighty prowess was made known to their city by the utter rout of their enemies. The men of '05 were then put to sleep and have never since been sudiciently aroused to realize the fact. And for the sign of this, the underclassmen may yet discover the lower end of the pole firmly anchored in the campus before the asylum for the treatment of vocal disorders and phalangetic nervous- ness. 'Now after these things were the class of '06 and her brave followers left in peace and quiet, until the second year of the rule of President Bell, and they did rest from their battles, and did feast and bum, and sometimes for recreation, they composed themselves to study. And when the days of vacation were fully come they did all return to their fields and fallows for to hoe the corn, and dig the potatoes, and to develop new strength for the next campaign. an are -use are we wk are we -ue In the second year of the reign of Czar Bell, in the first month, and the Hrst day of the month came the army of '06 again to the Stronghold of Wisdom. And behold the hest was weakened by the great lessening ofnumbers, so that they were no more strong as in the first days of their assemblage together. And their friends of the first year did forsake them, for a great and mighty host of enemies did come up to camp against them. Yet were the men of '06 not disturbed in their spirit. For to show this to all they did decree to prepare a great feast in the home of one Paul Pinkerton, a warrior of the host. Now, when the enemies of '06 had heard of this they did assemble themselves before the doors of the house to see if they might be able to break up the bum, and did plot together to seize the feasters as they did come singly ,and to bear them captive away from the revel. Verily, how small is the wisdom of Freshmen, and how futile their plans. For behold, when they had seized and bound a large number, and were rejoicing in that they were victorious, suddenly there came out from the house five of the mighty men of the feasters, and did rush upon them, and sieze them, and struggle fiercely with them, so that they were fain compelled to call for aid, and they were un- able to guard those whom they had made prisoners, and the classmate sisters and co-eds did sally forth, armed with exceeding sharp weapons, as those who laid hands on them will tell, and they did free the prisoners of their bonds so that all did escape. But as for those five who did sally forth, they were at last bound, and carried away by the overpowering number of their enemies. But yet were they hailed as heroes, and lauded with praise in that they did foil the enemy in their attempt to break up the bum. And after this were the men of '07 content to be at peace with the men of '06, and they did feast with them, and rejoice in their friendship. Now when the days of the Christmas vacation were over, came the call of Ibsen unto them, the versatile class of 1906, by the mouth of him who was class father. And they heeded the call, and prepared themselves, and did announce themselves, that they would present the Pillars of Society. And the rumor thereof went abroad unto all the four corners of the city. And, behold, the talk thereof was great, and many did make ready to attend. For, when those who were to be the caste did come together and did rehearse their lines, it became evident unto all that the reputation and honor of this, the most capable and worthy class of all Czar Bell's subjects, was to be upheld and en- hanced, and yet greater homage would be bestowed by their associate students and friends. ' Now when the evening of the presentation was fully come, the people came with 43 one accord unto the auditorium of the great university, and they did assemble in com- panies of twenties and fifties and hundreds. And the words of the father came up to the caste, saying: Get ye yourselves quickly prepared, paint ye your faces that ye may be fair to look upon, dress ye in haste and get ye down to the stage which is in the auditorium. And the characters hearkened unto the word of their father, even so did Bernick, and Johann and Rorland and Hilmar, and Lona and Dina, and all the others, whosoever were in the play. Furthermore, when all were ready did the curtain go up, and the people, as many as were there, did see the Norwegians, and did rejoice in them. And they did enjoy the play, and were sad when it was finished. But Professor Davis did look with scorn upon the performance, because that he had not trained them, how- beit Professor Smith was glad, so that the actors were well satisfied. And many events of interest did occur, for Dean Bell did forget his dignity and smile, and Dean Howard was so filled with laughter that he did fall off his chair, and Redmond Saylor was com- pelled to catch him, lest he should fall to the fioor, and be unable to rise in his ecstasy. But Prcxy Bell was so sore in his heart that he had been betrayed into a relaxation of the immobility of his features, that he established a law whereby no class should ever henceforth present a play of any kind, except the grave and noble Seniors, who are too stiff and serious in mind to cause him to violate the noble austerity of his brow. And for yet further revenge he did extort from the class a marvelous and fabulous sum for to endow the university, and for an excuse for this evil thing which he did, he did pro- claim, The Sophomores have used a great amount of gas, which multiplied by three C3j would equal in value the number of dollars which he demanded. Howbcit the class were so well pleased with the success of their histrionic efforts that they did straightway decide to present another drama when they should become sufficiently old and decrepit as to hobble about in square caps and black gowns. In the last days of the second year of President Bell, it came to pass that the class of 1907 did again become envious of the reputation and renown of 1906, and did chal- lenge them to a contest of running, and leaping, and throwing of heavy weights. And the mighty men of '06 did accept, and did rejoice as strong lions for the fray. And of the events as they did come it is needless that we should speak here at length, for the ever victorious classmen of 1906 did again return to their tents in easy victory, so that their banner was yet unsullied by defeat. And as for their later history, you all do know of the high esteem and reverence in which the class is held by all who know concerning her. And her fame is great, so that it is known in all corners of the earth from whence cometh our body of students. And they are quiet and peaceful as doth become the most worthy class of all the czar's slaves. SELAH.

For 1 e N King '06 reigned, aided and guided by the ablest counselors who X f were the learned and distinguished Lewis Worthington Smith and the wise and beloved Luther Sherman Ross. And it came to pass that this kingdom gained prominence and came to exceeding great Power. Around the palace and at a distance of ten leagues was built a wall with a height of many cubits. Without this wall was a moat of deadliest terror, called Red Tape. Only one gate admitted strangers within the kingdom although those who left it took one of two doorways. And it was true that those going through the one, were unnoticed and forgotten, but those who passed out of the second door were robed in long black garments and with honor their names were written upon scrolls of the empire. And behold the subjects of the Kingdom '06 were near the honor exit, and their rule was long and very po-werful. Within her palace dwelt her people, happy and contented. And one, by name Loren Atherton, was bugler and with trumpet tones and assurance daily inquired of Mars her progress and well being. The moon, dead and peopleless, could not thus lie reached and a race course must needs be built for the famous sprinter Jaggard who could thus bear daily tidings. The road was but half completed when an accident occurred and Elwyn Baker, a builder, because of his lofty ambitions and small stature, was sent up to repair the break and to this day, says tradition, he remains half-way 'twixt the earth and moon. Within the court each had his duties. Physicians three, attended the ailing. Sir Raleigh Snyder-for the fame of his namesake inspires him to even spread his coat before the feet of a lady 3 George Keeney an athlete, who passes the time perforce with a scrimmageg and lastly but not leastly, Charles Griffith, a goodly physician, but who wandereth away to a strange and alien country, where all the laughter is music and all the music is classic. ' And verily one arose who with solemn and grave demeanor, won all to respect, and his advice was given attention, by name he was known as Charles Clarke. Ably aiding the chief was one Edward Burrows, serious, sage, gladly giving his services to those who needed attention, a chemist and often consulted. Holding several strings of red tape but pleasing and busy all day in the ho-use of the chief was our Bessie Perrine, and another Clara Plummer who was dispenser by royal decree, of advice on all and every subject. A good maid and a student, liked by all and truly a person of standing. Q And it was discovered that in the house of the chosen, ruled three comely dames, In the cheery sunshine of the kitchen. And one Juno Baker, in truth, skillful and win- 53 ning in manner, plucked the Drakes and Ducks, for 'tis only practice that makes perfect and her deftness was past disputation. The others a more humble position but one not less useful, supplied, Allena Dowden the cake baker, for sweet things must needs be compounded, and Ella Slemmons, a court lady, descended each day to the kitchen and court taster became, as the king must needs eat only tested concoctions. One parson dispensed here his wisdom which was exceeded only by his stature, Roy Youtz, and also a writer was he at the palace. Three others with minds absorbed in great things, Ray Beauchamp, Elmer Mountain, and Lawrence Marshall, in a manner imperturable taught strange new doctrines to the heathen. And Newcomers, Forest lVIcCroskey, 'who from the ranks of '07 came to the House of Elden and David Kruidinier from a far-off nation, and Mrs. Morris, leaving her dearest possessions in another but friendly kingdom, entered gladly the service and all received hearty welcome These with others oft times gave attention, and oft times received inspiration from the two happiest in all the kingdom. The brave Marion Morrison and the fair and learned Leonta Starzinger gave practical demonstration of the great and grow- ing science of campustry and the lost art of mutual admiration. Outside of this charmed circle stood one, ornamental, Lloyd Conklin, tall and with willing heart he guarded the ladies' gallery, lest perchance some wolf in sheep's clothing might enter therein. And another Benjamin Winship versed in profound knowledge now forgotten, portrayed life to all for he was an artist. One more, a talker with opinions and resolutions. Gardner, a new comer was also heartily welcomed. Two working kindly together took account of all who entered and all who departed extending them welcome and bidding them farewell. Ada Pilmer and Leona Dowden were these, lightening the burdens and supervising the labors. Ladies of court were these others and ladies of wide reputation, Gertrude VVhite and Florence Munsell and Mildred Grabill. Honored were these but their fortunes were guarded by a fate not of 06. Ethel McFarland, a fourth court lady with others beside her, in a manner quiet but not unnoted bore up the banner of Drake and helped to make o6 a nation. Another unstable and Highty party eliminated by that far-off country of music was Regina Driscoll loved, however in -that great Kingdom of o6. Around the castle grew a wonderful rose garden, in it wandered alone, a beautiful tender of roses. Her name legend tells us, was Lettie Downing. She was sweet and friendly but rather too fond of devotion. Her heart in three lovely roses, enfolded and hidden, securely she handed to three noble princes. Two lived in foreign lands, and doomed by a fate that was stronger than love thrice divided, she wandered alone among roses. Only one helped tend the beautiful prison. Earl Sinclair, who a strength in the nation, stood by the charming maiden until at length, he too, by fate, was called to another nation. Thus in tradition is lost the story of woman's affection, for naught but tradition remains of the wonderful Kingdom of 'O6. Out through the honor exit where many had gone before them, passed the famous class that had dwelt in the beautiful palace. Scattered are they and gone. in this day of zooo. Gone but not forgotten is that wonderful Kingdom of '06. 54 THE MAIN BUILDING SENIDR vf I ,Q -X S, 4 ' :Ld -: A -Q ' ll X L - fb.: - - - --- if-no T. -- S ' 135- ...., E-f ,' 3 f '7f -5 s Ti I' 1 ' J W Ei Q H JI T' '- 4: 0 J 1-5.

' HE DELPHIC, the oflicial student publication of Drake University ' 'j' came into being in 1884, as a monthly periodical devoted to news 1 'i and literature. It continued as such until the fall of 1900, when 4, sq WK T :QU VD under the direction of Reson Jones, the newly elected editor, it was changed to a weekly and very much increased in capacity in ' order to keep pace with the demands of a growing school. In the fall of IQO3, Mr. S. Grundy Fisher, the newly elected editor for that year, devised the idea of changing the plan, and policy again, making the Delphic a semi-weekly newspaper instead of a periodical, and also publishing a monthly literary periodical, the Drake. This plan met with the hearty approval of all, and the following year was a success. The standing of Drake among other schools with reference to the press was maintained in a creditable manner. The present administration has followed the same plans but attempted to improve. The Delphic has been enlarged by increasing the size of the paper and reducing the size of the type until we can safely say that more news is published each week than in the average college daily, This conclusion has been reached by a close observation. Besides, The Drake has been continued, and we hope, has also been improved. Witl1ol1t boasting. we can safely say that Drake University has as good a press representation as any college in the state, and we hope to see a continuance of the good work in the years that are to follow.

Corresponding Secretary, Cl,lNToN LOCKHART. This association was organized at the beginning of 1904. Its purpose is twofold, first the raising of six hundred dollars for the support of a Drake student on the foreign field, second the promotion of missionary interest in the University. Our present representative is Charles S. Settlemeyer, who sailed for China Sep- tember 20, 1904. Through him Drake University is contributing to the solution of that world-problem--the vexed Eastern questiong his voice is counting one in the appeal to the great empire by the Yellow Sea, sadly pushing on toward the past, to turn about and take a place among the Christian nations of the world. It will be a glad day when, in coming years, Drake looks across the sea to the new China and says, VVe had a part. It will be a gladder day when men and women of China turn to- ward us and say, Drake's missionary told me. The present membership of the Missionary Association is 200. It should not cease to grow until every student in the University is an active partner in this enterprise. Surely it is not too much that we, out of our sufficient, give six hundred dollars to China's need. A Dare we from such, such great treasure withhold? lN'Ien count it a crime to rob rich ones of gold, Shall we, to baser self-seeking enticed, Keep from earth's poorest the riches of Christ? 70 i ffm 5, Cf' .-J... , U jg! xii. 4- -v .Z mi 1 aff 7 r ,QQ fx., ff Qi 1243 fsfi Egg, ffff' -Tx iff' 5 :rnmny i J Books and heir cquaintance Ilixtracts from a Lecture on The Frazier Collection, given in the University Library, March 1, 1905.1 F CULTURE is, as Matthew Arnold insisted, the acquainting -i 7 ourselves with the best that has been known and thought in the world, and thus with the history of the human spirit then M X assuredly must we accept the famous dictum of Thomas Carlyle that the true University is a collection of books, since in books lies the soul of the whole past time. In is characteristic of most of us, I suspect, to treat books, to think and to feel about books mole or less as we think and feel about persons. Unless we guard our- selves we judge books largely by appearances, by their physiognomy, or by their clothes. The handsome face, the attractive costume at once secure our favorable opinion. Thus the beautiful bound book, the handsome royal octave, the editions de luxe with their inzpressive pages of dcckle edge paper with wide margin, with their superb illustra- tions these we instinctively incline to esteem highly. We presume that they are espe- cially worthy of an acquaintance and cultivation. Possession of such implies familiarity with them, and thus gives us a sense of self-satisfaction if not exaltation, since such possession seems ipxo fnrlo to guarantee titles patent in the peeraze wherein we enjoy intimacy with the aristocrats of society and the immortals of literature. Conversely, your unassuming, matter-of-fact looking books, your books in plain black and brown 74 and drab, your books in cheap binding, in paper covers, in calico and gingham, so to SPCak, such we are prone to regard with indifference if not with disdain, as stale, flat, and unprofitable. But all is not gold that glitters. Clothes do not make the man. No more do fine bindings make your book. Your gilded octaves are as likely as not to be Vanities Of vanities. Indeed, in these days of linotype machines and promiscuous advertising your editions de luxe are likely to be delusions and snares. Your unpretentious volume, Of severe aspect, perhaps, on the other hand, even when broken, unkept, ragged may hide fine wit, strong character, one whose existence, though quiet and unobstrusive, contains much splendid achievement, of noble thinking, and heroic striving after better things. Behind a plain garb, too, one may find much reserve of power, much romance and pathos that once held men and women enthralled and oftentimes governments and nations. So with this demure little volume, broken, somewhat shabby, dingy, musty with age, most persons would give it but a contemptuous glance. Its cover title is exceed- lflgly prosaic, being simply Dodd's Thoughts. Surely not a title to conjure with, not one to disturb the peace of statesman. Onels first thought is that it must be some grotesque conceit. Not so, however. Its contents comprehend matters of grave con- cern, and if you have read your Boswell, you will know that the autnor of this little book had all London in a furore and even Olympus itself agog one hundred and fWCf1ty-eight years ago 5 and to save him from the gallows Doctor Johnson moved heaven and earth, but to no avail. The book's full title is Thoughts in Prison. In five parts. The Imprisonment, The Trial, The Retrospect. Futuritv. Public Punish- ment. By William Dodd, LL. D. To which are added miscellaneous pieces. The thoughts are given in a poetical narrative. They were composed in Newgate Prison, London, the author begins them on Sunday evening, eight o'clock, February 23, 1777. The edition lVIr. Frazier has presented us is the Odiorne's Edition, printed at Exeter, New Hampshire, 1794. The Reverend Dr. Williams Dodd was one time Prebendary of Brecon and chaplain in ordinary to his majesty, George III. He was, says Boswell, Celebrated as a very popular preacher, an encourager of charitable institutions, and author of a variety of works, chiefly theological. Having unhappily contracted expensive habits of living, partly occasioned bv licentiousness of manners. he in an evil hour, when pressed by want of money, and dreading an exposure of his circumstances, forged a bond by which he attempted to avail himself to support his credit, flattering himself with hopes that he might be able to repay its amount without being detected. The person, whose name he thus rashly and criminally presumed to falsify, was the Earl of Chesterfield, to whom he had been tutor, and who, he perhaps, in the warmth of his feelings, flattered himself would have generously paid the money in case of an alarm being taken, rather than suffer him to fall a victim to the dreadful consequences of violating the law against forgery, the most dangerous crime in a commercial country: but the unfortunate divine had the mortincation to find that he was mistaken. His noble pupil appeared against him, and he was capitally convicted. Through the intercession of the Countess of Harrington, Dr. Dodd enlisted the 5YII1pathy and influence of Doctor johnson. The great lexicographer, although near his three score and ten in age, aroused himself to tremendous activity on behalf of his unfortunate petitioner. He composed numerous addresses and appeals urging pardon Or the commutation of the culprit's sentence: and he so stirred his phlegmatic country- I 75 men that a monster petition, signed by 23,000 English men and women, was presented to his majesty's ministers, praying for mercy of the condemned divine. But the law officers of the crown were obdurate, and the proligate man suffered the full penalty for his misdeeds. He was hung at the famous hostelry at Tyburn, June 27, 1777. His death closed a career of brilliant promise but miserable conduct. His finale, while shocking to our present day notions, was the legitimate natural consummation of a life grossly forgetful of the everlasting laws of righteousness. This little volume gives us in poetical form the recreat clergyman's reflections anent his sad condition and sorry prospects. The critic will find little in its pages worthy of comparison with the best productions of his great contemporaries, Cowper, Goldsmith, or Grey, although the narrative is often impressive, and full of sage reflec- tions, highly seasoned with the flavor of real experience. But the chief value of the Thoughts is historical. His trial and death and these reflections, together with the mighty agitation of Doctor Johnson on his behalf unquestionably aided powerfully in the final abolition of capital punishment for such sordid offenses. Besides the im- portance attaching to this volume because of the part which the author's life had in the career of Doctor Johnson, this little book is of specific value to students of social science and penology. Its contents afford us not a little evidence from an eye witness of and participant in the prison life of England in the period just preceding the reform movement. It was written and published in the same year that John Howard gave to the world his epoch-making books, The State of the Prisons in England and Wales, etc. an as ne The learned and the wise differ today no less, perhaps, than did their predecessors in ancient times respecting education, its support, and method. The disputatious dis- ciple of the late Herbert Spencer may take exception to much in Mr. Arnold's defini- tion of culture. The ardent devotee of the physical sciences may doubt the worth of knowledge of things obsolete or moribund. But from whatever point of view we regard the subject, most will hold education to be chiefly preparation for life. If it is rational, if it is to be effective, education must imply such training or culture of body, mind and character as will enable men not only to meet the normal requirements of daily life and insure success in the struggle for existence, but to enjoy and enhance life. Now whether it be technical skill and knowledge that men desire, and must needs have, so as better to meet the immediate exigencies of life, or general culture that enlarges life and its enjoyment, books are of necessity among the chief prerequisites in education. Manual skill and clerical ability may be acquired, of course, by what we call practical experience. A tyro can secure a modicum of science by concrete studies in field, laboratory and museum. Assiduous application for years, plus a memory of great adhesive power, may no doubt result in great growth of mental ability and knowledge and moral strength, and insure advancement in life's positions and increase in wealth. Such results may be achieved with little or no book learning. But, mark you, such success is not because of a lack of books and knowledge of books, but in spite of such lack. If we insist upon sharp definitions much that has just been conceded is not possible-indeed, life itself is not possible without books. Books are not simply volumes encased in paper, or board, or leather binding covers. Tablets of bronze or stone or wood, rolls of papyrus are books, in fact any record of human thought, emotion or action is in essence a book. If thus comprehensive, our very 76 existence is clearly dependent upon books. Our life developes in the midst of a vast Complex of inter-relations. Communication from mind to mind must be assured and certainty of agreement guaranteed. Books are the chief records of human desireland action, and thus the chief modes of communication. Some ideas, some desires of man can be communicated by word of mouth 5 and not a few, of course, may be recollected by means of memory, but with the vast aggregate that make up life's content certainty and continuity of thought are only possible by means of the written record. In the infinite mazes of modern industry and commerce, property and its transfer rest upon the integrity of deeds and mortgages, checks and drafts, certificates and pass- books, stocks and bonds. These constitute the leaves of the record books that assure man of life and the means of happiness because they certify possessions and secure the fruits of toil and thought, M well as make possible world-wide exchanges of the products of man's labors and ingenuity. Communication with our fellows and with the world at ,large is, in such a civilization as ours, mainly by means of the printed Page. Our knowledge of man's multitudinous life would not be possible but for such labor-saving, time-saving modes of thought conveyance. Discoveries in science, in- ventions, and progress in the arts and manufactures could scarcely become common, but for hooks whereby accounts of them can now be read forthwith almost simul- taneously throughout the world. Our progress in civilization has been a process of building up. The present rests largely upon the results of man's endeavor in the past. But for books that recorded the nature and amount of his achievements, our present estate would be but little above that of the untutored savage. Man's memory could not receive or retain or transmit all experience. And tradition we know is a confused and confusing medium of communication. In short, man's knowledge of the past, so essential to wise action in the present, depends almost wholly upon books. It follows from these premises that science and the growth of science depend upon books that preserve accounts of the experience of the race. Science is that body of knowledge that shows us the laws of nature and of life. We can discern those laws usually only after diligent study of the phenomena of life. lt is a common delusion that science consists chiefly, if not wholly, of a knowledge of physical nature, and that the laws of science are discoverable only in fields or mines, in retorts or test tubes. But science comprehends the laws of the whole realm of nature which includes all phenomena whether psychic, ethical, economic, political, legal, religious, or astrono- mical, geological, chemical, or biological. Much knowledge can be gained in the museum or laboratory, but the great body of science lies corporate in books, whence Students must obtain it by diligent study of the records that demonstrate the sequences and co-existences of phenomena. With life and science thus dependent upon books, it becomes clear that education, which trains us for life, of necessity depends largely upon books as the sources of the knowledge out of which science evolves. We are thus brought to agreement with Matthew Arnold and Thomas Carlyle. If we would attain culture, we must familiarize ourselves with the best that has been known and said in the world and thus with the history of the human spirit, and our University wherein we can gain this knowledge and illumination is for the most part perforce 21 collection of books.

HERRIOTT. 72' G X? lg ref Q Jw ,ti X 1 ggflll Q ip? 5 1' Lf 'WK li A Few 6II1i1'1IlSC6I1CCS MINISCIQNCICS are usually encouraging and kind, though the mood which produces them should be avoided perhaps, when one is trying to get together an article for the annual of his old school. But itls a mood difficult to avoid. It is hard for a graduate to write anything for the student annual of his alma mater, and keep away from his mind thc images and faces of those who trod around college circles when he was an undergraduate, or to keep down the memories of the tumultuous violence of class bums, or the shadows and green of the glens. Can any Drake graduate keep away the memories of chapel where, among other places, he used to cause worry. Those meek members of the faculty, how resigned they did look. We could read in their faces a sentiment something like this: Well, the Lord put us here among you. WVe'll worry along somehow. As He has put us here, let us hope he will give us strength to bear out the remainder of our days and be persecuted. It cloesn't take long to be an old grad. And then the looking back begins. The way a man felt about graduating time was awful. Stephen getting stoned couldn't have felt much worse. Une's friends are all leaving, and he is coming back to be a 'part of the circle no more. It just seemed that all the sunshine and crimson, were crowded into the days just behind. He found himself looking back upon full days, when he and those about him had put their whole lusty selves into college matters, good or bad. About the next thing he did was to go around and take a look at all the places, which seemed a part of him. Then he went over to his room and hung his gown on a bedpost and put his cap on the back of a chair. He sat down and cocked his feet upon his study table. Per- haps thc table was more accustomed to his feet than his elbows. But he didn't think of that. He remembered that from his very early boyish hours he had heard about and had been dreaming of college days. And that now they were over. He sat there and remembered the times when he thought the Prof.'s were all in league against him. And then came back to him the time when Old Professor --- stopped him and talked pretty quietly to him. He knew at the time that it had done him a lot of good. It was a symyatl etic kind of a talk. He was told in a gentle kind of way, confidentially, something of the sentiment of the faculty toward him at the last meeting of this body. A good many of the instructors had signified their belief, that he was outliving his use- fulness at that school. He remembered distinctly the attitude of this old Prof. How sort of sympathetic he had been: how he had talked to him as one man would to an- otlter. He had never realized before how human a Prof. was, after all. There wasn't much difference between these two human beings as they talked. One was giv- ing adviceg the other needed it. One had revolutionary tendencies-was a sort of an opposer of authority and didn't believe in rulesg the other had been mellowd by the years, and gently made clear how necessary it is for one to learn to follow, before at- ' va tempting to lead. The one had gray beard and gray hairg the other had no beard, but Eperhaps plenty of hair. Each was of the tribe known as man, but they had a means of communication. Both were fundamentally sincere and earnest-good bases for under- standing and mutual helpfulness. Most graduates of Drake, perhaps, allow their minds occasionally to wander back, to one particular spot on this terrestial ball. Drake was a co-educational institution and that spot is Kirkwood. Please pardon me for making a personal reference here. I know tlfose who were at Drake a few years ago will bear me out in this. I was not COII- structed by Providence attractive to the weaker sex. Therefore I was never to De seen in Kirkwood with a lady. But invariably while strolling out toward that beautiful spot, to read my philosophy book, or to study rabbits or bumblebees, I have seen them. Not only two, but many parties of two, strolling along absolutely, absorbingly aflinitative, Participating in the comforts of human association. As Stevenson would say, Both young, he male and she female, the everlasting fountains of interestfl Being a lawyer, I cannot tell you how they were twoed. For conditions, which then gave promise of marital consummation, have failed to result in that relationship. And, inasmuch as some of the young fair young flowers which then elevated and decorated the sphere at Drake are now cheering the hearthstones of those who were ever strangers to Kirk- Wood, and whereas certain of the young men who knew every nook and cranny of this wild are paying gas bills and club dues for fair ones who never received from the bow- Cry shadows of Kirkwood ambrosia which nourished their affective natures, it behooves me, being a lawyer, to remain silent. For such a course might disturb certain domestic tranquilities. And out of disturbed domestic tranquilities often comes lucre for the lawyer. I cannot, therefore, tell you just in what company these persons appeared. For my motives might be misunderstood. But Virgil could have been seen there often. Calm, sedate and fair, Virgil certainly added picturesqueness to any scene. And jacob Shoemaker, with a sack of bananas attentive and comfo-rtable was a familiar object. Virgil at that date was a master of English and used it profusely. Jacob was a good listener. These represented two types of escorts. Joe Kies ought to have known every leaf in the glen. And, though Earl Smith was sly and went there when others were apt to be gone, he Wm nevertheless there. Fred Clarke and Doctor lklonilaw fre- quented the place and joe Sellards used to go tripping out there occasionally. But this article is not to be a chronicle of the idle things which happened before this present Junior clms came to the University. It is to be an attempt to give you some idea of the year when Drake first came into football prominence-of the day when she gained her own. It will try to give you some glimpse of the color and glory of that year. For in contrast to the years which had preceded it, 1898 was certainly a year of triumph. To begin with, Drake had never done much but get licked up until 1897. Pro- fessor Ross had always toiled. And then there were many students and managers be- fore this time who had toiled and done much. And much as they had done their efforts Were sort of lost sight of and gathered up into the preparation which must always pre- cede any great success. And this article is not to be an attempt to tell you of all those who had done much and are to be given great credit. Furniss Morton, Virgil White, Paul Jones, Channing Smith, Wendell Huston, Bruce Van Voorhis, Earl Smith, Rev. Lawrence, Clarence Pile, Dr. Monilaw, Joe Sellards and the lVIorrisson boys are only a few of those who made up their minds that Drake should have a creditable team in 1897. A good team had to come some time soon. There were too many determined Persons who had made up their minds to it. Grinnell, Ames and Iowa were older insti- 79 tutions and had been taking all the athletic honors in the state. And everybody began to feel that athletically Drake ought to rise to the level of these schools. Furniss Morton, or Furnace as he loved to be called, was a worthy leader to look after the necessary details of a football season. Furnace wasn't much of a debater, but he was elected football manager in the fall of '97. There was a nice bunch of debts in the treasury when Furnace took hold. There was no money to hire a coach, nor to make a guarantee for games. For patient labor, Furnace could have been risked against Job any time, and, though he was shy', on muscle, he was the equal of David as far as nerve was concerned. Furnace schemed around and secured some pecuniary substancef' He then made arrangements for games and hired Coach A. B. Potter, the great Northwestern hal fback. In 1897, Potter was able to stay with us only three weeks but he helped us wonderfully. VVe won most of our games and made a good showing against lowa and did fairly well against Grinnell. Potter was then hired to coach the team for the season of 1898. In that year Drake made a magnificent record. In the fall of 1898, when we went to Lincoln to play Nebraska, no one expected us to win. True, we had defeated Iowa, eighteen to five, but Nebraska was a different proposition. She had defeated Kansas, lflissouri and lklinnesota. Drake won from Nebraska by a touchdown and goal to a goal from the field. VV hen we got back to Des Moines the following llflonday morning, the noise which greeted us was something awful. YVe hadn't expected much of a reception for it was early in the morning. YVhcn we got off the train we thought the town was in a state of revolution. The fellows were grabbed and carried to the carriages. NVhom do you suppose hoisted me? Something grabbed me by the thigh. After being lifted skyward, I looked down and found myself on the shoulder of Professor Denny. And what made me feel bad was the fact that I hadn't been in the game at all. We 1'ode in carriages pulled by students to University Place. There our eloquence electrocuted the crowds for about two hours. From that time on our hope and determination was to defeat Grinnell upon Thanksgiving Day. Victory meant glory for everybody concerned and a place Drake had long hoped for. The feeling around University Place was intense. As the game drew nearer, the fellows on the team grew more determined and Professors and stu- dents watched the practice in that faithful silence which means confidence and hope. On the morning of the game a prayermeeting was held in Professor Crusinberry's room. Hugh Morrison led in prayer. O Lord, he said, bc with our boys today. Go easy there, I thought, and Joe Sellards gave me an awful kick. Be with our boys, he continued with an effort, not for our selfish purposes but that they may act as men. The sun shone clear and cold and snow was on the ground the afternoon of the game. The snow had been removed from the field but there were icy places on the gridiron. It was too cold for spectators to sit in the grandstand. Hay and straw were strewn on the sidelines and the people stood there. The famous scarlet and black of Grinnell was there and their famous spirit was present also. Rev. VValters was our yellmaster and the blue and white bunch livened up things some. Wheeler, the famous Grinnell center, had a bad habit of making drop kicks. So we were to try and keep him a good distance from the goal. Drake kicked off and Grinnell was soon forced to punt. Pierce, Grinnell's fullback, used excellent judgment and punted the ball so, that it came down on one of the icy places on the field. Grinnell got the ball and after a few attempts at gaining, Wheeler stepped back and made a beautiful drop kick,the ball going high over the bar, directly between the posts. It was not long before Grinnell again punted upon an icy place and recovered the ball. 80 VVheeler dropped another of those awful kicks and the score was ten to five in favor of W ' , 4 . Grinnell. I hat was agony. Drake scored a touchdown, but not long afterward, Burd, Grinnell's left end, got away for a long run and a touchdown, making the score 16 to 6. When there were about twelve minutes left to play something seemed to take hold of the Drake team. Though up to that time Drake had gained more ground than Grinnell, Wheeler's kicking had left us behind. Well, about that time, one of those waves of feeling which make men irresistible began to rise under our jersies. Too earn- est were our men, and too conscientious had been their preparation, for them to be de- nied. lfach man called up his last ounce of determination and reserve. And each knew that the others had done the same because of the iron look in their faces, the straining of limb and back and muscle and the deep irregular breathing. There was nothing that could stop that bunch of men. Gains of five, ten and twenty yards followed in rapid succession. At last with a mighty effort the ball was carried across. The rest of us stood back and watched Joe Sellards steady his trim little body and kick the goal, mak- ing the score I2 to 16. Another touchdown meant victory. We received the ball. I remember the ball was kicked off to me. I don't remember whether I prayed or swore while it was coming through the air. But they couldn't stop us. We tore off yard after yard. It was getting almost dark. Time was almost up. A fumble meant defeat. VVheeler from center was making lots of tackles out on our ends. We sent the inter- ference for a play toward tackle. Wheeler ran out to meet it. It was a delayed pass and Pell, withiall that magnificient power and speed of his, plunged through the opening at center VVheeler had been fooled into leaving, jumped and rushed over the hitherto un- conquerable Jack Lindslay in their backheld, and on for a touchdown. lt meant victory. The people ran over the field. They couldn't be controlled. What Profs. and preachers did awful as it was, may be excused. It was said that Dean Haggard-- . But it was never clearly proved. But the ride home in the bobsled, the crowds of yelling people, are clear in the minds of us all. Te be on a football team and help win for your college its first great record and to know that your friends are all rejoicing, is near heaven. That night when Sellards and I were preparing to put our aching bones. and weary stiff muscles on our cots, we were still talking it over. Joe's thighs and shoulders were scratched and bruised. One ankle was sprained. One eye was swollen and a place underneath it was already becoming black. He had a white bandage tied around one side of his head. NVe could hear students yelling outside and their footsteps echoing up and down the streets. How do you feel, Joe ? I asked. I couldn't' feel much better if I were an angel, he said. The teams Drake has since had have all been a credit to her. Since that time she has continually been in the front rank. From 1898 to 1904 she has ranked each year above at least one of the three colleges which, previous to that year, had always defeated her. Mr. Best was conscientious and capable. And a statement of what Dr. Monilaw has done for Drake athletics would fill a large volume. The Drake team acquitted itself more than creditably each time it has played in Ann Arbor. It made a distinctly favorable impression each time. The men seemed manly, both on and off the field. There was much favorable comment. It was quite noticeable. I say this impartially and because the facts bear me out. Mr. Martin Heston, who will coach the Drake team next year, is a superb leader, Drake's immediate football future looks bright to me. And in colleges where there is an increasing interest in football there is decreasing interest in billiard rooms and loafing ' 81 places. The President of Columbia made an investigation into the influence of football upon students and student life. He came to the conclusion that it had a distinctly manly influence upon student habits and had bettered and made more wholesome the tone of college life. The time is coming when trainloads of graduates and friends of Drake will hurry to the championship football game in Des llfloines. lt will be a gala day, a day for returning and rejoicing, as it is at Cambridge and Ann Arbor and New Haven. Gray- haired graduates will come back and loiter around the halls, and renew ties and cheer for the team. But the members of no team will feel happier than did the members of the 1898 team after that Thanksgiving game. Nor will victory ever be sweeter to any team than it was to us and to the students of that year. For it was then, for the first time, that Drake defeated not only Iowa and Grinnell, but won the championship of that strip of territory which lies between the Nlississippi River on the East and the Rocky Mountains on the West.

LEWIS WORTHINGTON SMITH Brooklyn Eagle, flugzlst 29, 1904. 83 II emnrium The evil that men do lives after them. , The good is oft interred with their bones. So let it be with Caesar. Such is the philosophy presented by Mark Antony in his ora- tion over C:esar's body. Shakespeare attributes these words to Antony possibly with a purpose other than indicating his idea of the prevalent sentiment among the people. Whatever may have been the intention in Shakespeare's mind can any more deadening idea of life be conceived- than this-that our evil deeds will be remembered and will continue to exert their baleful influence while whatsoever good there may have been will die with us and will be put out of sight, out of remembrance in the grave with our bodies! A If this were true then joyless, black, would life be. Shade after shade would be added to the intensity of the darkness of human life until the blackness, the despair of deepest hell would be as a paradise. But is it true that only the evil usually lives and that the good dies? Is it Jacob the trickster we remember? Is it Aaron, the maker of the golden calf, we remember? David the adulterer, or lVIoses the murderer? We remember David the king-the man after God's own heart. We remember Moses the lawgiver, the deliverer of Israel. Peter denied the Master and then began to curse and to swear. -This fact has had little effect upon the thought and action of men. Peter went out and wept bitterly. This fact has strengthened many lives, has given cour- age to many men. Were the philosophy of Antony true, or that expressed in King Henry the Eighth, Men's evil manners live in brass, their virtues we write in waterf' there would be no incentive or reason for the virtuous life except one entirely selfish. The good done for others is of no effect. It is not permanent. Whatsoever errors we make or wrongs we commit are lasting. Let us get out of this world of evil as soon as possible so as to leave it not much worse for our having lived in it. Or let us be ambitious to lead lives to be remembered for the virulence of their vileness. The devil and his angels would rejoice to find such a hell. Pity the man creating such a world for himself. The evil men do may live after them but the good does not die an easy death-it buds forth and flourishes. No, life is not all evil and darkness. Goodness and joyous- ness may predominate. The Prince of the power of the air is subject to the Prince of Peace. The good men do lives after the evil is forgiven and forgotten. The memory of a life may become sweeter, purer until no taint lingers. It is easy to recall from the past the lives of some near us as a school-of some who were friends, some who were students, some trustees, some instructors and one chan- cellor. Their bodies are under the sod. Their dust is returning to the earth 'as it was. Their spirits returned unto God who gave them. Shall we search among their bones for the good of their lives and searching find nothing because it has ceased to be? Or, shall we search in the hearts of men? Is the evil of their lives flourishing, spreading wider and wider until the earth shall be encompassed? What evil was there in the life of Belle Bennett? Of Pap White? Of Doctor Hobbs? Of Doctor Everest? Of General Drake? Of Chancellor Carpenter? There was some I presume. What it was I do not know. On the other side of the world the life of Belle Bennett is bearing the fruits of the Spirit. Here and abroad the influence of the lives of many once among us, now resting from their labors, is not waningg is ever strengthening. As the years come and go that influence is being more and more refined as gold in the refiner's fire. We need not remember them with sadness. Why should we! When one gives his life daily for the cause of humanity, the cause of Christ, when one does his duty, what more need we ask. Rejoice in the work they did and in its fruition. God's blessing be upon the memory of the good of their lives, not His curse upon the evil. L. S. Ross. As Understood in the English Room T IS not wholly with a feeling of discomfort that I find myself called upon by the editor of the Quax for a presentation of the reasons W for studying English literature. I think that I shall take the lib- M, erty of changing the subject just a little and talking about culture. What is culture and how is it acquired? These are questions con- cerning which I fear that we leave the undergraduate very much at sea, while we furnish him the materials for culture, leaving him to shape them into that fruitage of his studies or not as best he can. Whether the boys and girls really Come to college for culture or not, might, perhaps, be debated, but it is so universally understood that that is what they should come for that we may let the question pass as unfortunately irrelevant. VVe can do no better than go back to Matthew Arnold for our definition. He tells us that culture is a knowledge of the best things that have been thought and said in the World. He meant appreciative knowledge, I suppose, or he may have assumed that ade- quate knowledge must be appreciative. Definitions are not often very informing, but we can afford to say this one over to ourselves every now and then as a safeguard against educational delusions. It is worth remarking that we must know many things as mere aids to culture, things the knowledge of which is not in itself culture any more than is the art of loafing gn the street corner in the expectation of making something turn up in that happy fash- ion. For instance, one must have studied chemistry a little, it seems to me, to have a satisfactory understanding of what Fiske has to say about the Cosmic Philosophyg but 50, foo, one must have gone through the grind of Latin declensions and conjugations to appreciate fully the refinements of speech in which any adequate philosophy presents itself to our common intelligence. Yet knowledge of the quantivalence of atoms, of the molecular arrangement of any conceivable number of organic compounds, of the affinities of the elements, knowledge of all the matters of fact that chemistry has to teach is not culture. So, too, knowledge of Latin inflections, of the development of NC' as a case ending, of the distinction between descriptive, partitive, and other genitives, knowledge of all the syntax that the Latin grammars offer is not culture. These things are like knowledge of the English tongue itself in being but means to an end. There is U0 spectacle more pitiful than that of the man who industriously mistakes means for ends and spends his life and his heart on the husks of things. Culture, then, is not mere scholarship. At the same time, there is no department of scholarship that does not give opportunity for the development of those best things fl10ught and said in the world the knowledge of which is culture. A scientific mind, Onflginal, daring, writes an Origin of Species or a' series of Lay Sermons, and the literature of the world is permanently the richer for such exposition of the eternal veri- ties. A mind essentially interested in the problem of human speech in its development 85 centuries ago in the regions about the Tigris and Euphrates reveals to the world a new conception of God's dealings with His children that no man thereafter can wholly disre- gard. A mind whose interests are largely in our social relationships expresses an ulti- mate conclusion from observation of life so important that it should be posted over every door leading to the halls of culture, the old Winchester motto, Manners maketh man. It seems quite impossible for me to pass this by without the further comment that it ought to be blazoned in shining letters before the eyes of the youth who brazenly face the august faculty on the platform during chapel with their jaws rejoicing almost audibly in a sufficient quantity of Beaman's best pepsin gum. Now, all these things have some relation to the importance of the study of English. This is now so well recognized that we may turn directly to the remons for it, leaving out some recently expressed opinions of high authorities that I should like wonderfully well to quote. In the first place, the reasonably correct use of his native tongue is the first mark of the gentleman who is to the manner born. One is always doubtful of the man who says I done or I have saw. Maurice Thompson once declared that one is justified in questioning the man who says 'fexquisiten with the accent on the second syllable rather than on the first. Such refinements are for the more exclusive circles of culture, but I am not sure that they are too severe. In a sense, the study of English literature is a direct study of the best things thought and said in the world as the study of no other subject is. Whether said by scientist or linguist, priest or reformer, patriot or poet, they become finally a part of literature, rather than a part of the science or the theology or the politics that gave them birth. Literature is the great conserver of a Darwin as well as a Gibbon, of a Jowett as well as a Burke. Moreover, English literature is the greatest literature that the world has yet developed, more mature, more diverse, richer than the Greek, fuller, finer, more perfect as art than the German, in subtlety and finish and varied richness of solid substance even so much as approached by none but the French in modern times. No one can master more than a small portion of its treasures of the best things thought and said in the world, but no one in a land where English is the spoken tongue who fails to make himself the possessor of what, judged in the light of our human limitations, may seem a reasonable store of its riches should presume to think that he has come to the culture that is the purpose of a liberal education. ' Lewis WoR'rmNoToN SMITH. 86 CAMPUSTRY Effects of College 'Work Upon ife Work ,- -, E - Q HAT a very large percentage of 'those who hold the leading political Q51 KJ , and industrial positions are college graduates and that this percent- ' ,X age is increasing very rapidly all over the country are evidence that those who have had the advantage of an education either force them- ! 54 qu selves to position and power or that the general public, recognizing superior capability, willingly entrusts its interests to them. Wlietlier either or both of these reasons combined account for the leadership of the college grad- uate, it is clear that college work carried to a fair degree of completion, at least, evolves an individual who is more able ordinarily to cope with life problems than the unedu- cated man of equal natural endowments. True education gives masterly control of L- -w lr so , mind and body, consequently the well educated person has steadier nerves., cooler judg- ment, keener foresight, broader vision, statelier presense, and truer sympathy because of his education. These qualities of self possession bear upon world affairs beyond comprehension. Owners of vast interests, financial and otherwise, are searching for men who, under most trying circumstances, will be able to steer their interests clear of difficulties and at the same time drive business to successful issues. Hence it is that trained and alert abil- ity masters position and has tremendous commercial value in these times when all partic- ipants in active life are constantly under the fire of the machine guns of fiercest compe- tition. Many of the completest victories are won rather by wise manoeuvering than by gallant charging. Splendid management becomes the key to success and the man who can be relied upon to take advantage of the existing circumstances and to utilize living opportunity commands attention and is immeasurably valuable. College work not only strengthens and re-enforces natural talent that will sustain one at such heights but en- riches and broadens life, thereby extending it to other circles than the one in which the daily round of duty takes the individuals. No one doubts nor denies that college curricula are faulty and often impractical. Neither will any one contend that university administration is without spot or blemish. Certainly we all agree that student life is far from ideal. Yet the ambitions aroused in the diligent student, the standards set for him to measure up to, the ideals of which lie receives visions, and the vigorous moral and religious principles instilled into his life during his college course, fortify him against the temptations that attack fiercely every person entrusted with great power or vast interests. The employing world has, through patience and long suffering, unmistakably and irrevocably decided to discharge the debauche and the quack. Great institutions have so much at stake and the public is becoming so guarded m to its interests and so cognizant of its rights that those? who offer themselves for places of responsibility must be capable men of unswcrving moral worth and unquestionable integrity. No one will undertake to deny for a moment that B8 the man who may be trusted most implicitly is he who has strong and vigorous faculties mastered by a well balanced mental, moral and spiritual nature and well fed by a healthy physique. Humanity hasn't need alone of greater intelligence and sounder integrity in the ranks of industry but it is in dire need of sympathy everywhere. The dominancy of selfishness and greed in business, social and political circles is indeed alarming. Surely true, well developed intelligence fosters the spirit of fairness. It insists upon the pro- tection of the weak and helpless and the recognition of their rights. It infuses courage and self respect in the individual. It makes many more influential, wealthy and cul- tured citizens but fewer millionaires in proportion. It is an equalizer of every form of inequality. VVe would not forget that college life develops a comradeship, rubs life against life, widens one's circle of friends until college students and alumni become one vast fraternity touching shoulder to shoulder around the whole earth. Some one has said that the march of armies may be stopped but you can never prevent the invasion of ideas. Our education draws us into communion and sympathy with the whole world forcing humanity to invent and construct appliances until the one half does know how the other half lives. In conclusion, collegework has a tendency to cause us to take life more leisurely and helps us to glean much more from itg it attunes our lives more fully to nature's songg it broadens our horizon and leads us into vaster fields of life laborg it embellishes and enriches the animal house for a fuller and completer indwelling of the spiritual tenantg it usually reveals and helps to develop the better self-the real and most worthy purpose of all life work. J. F. MITCHELI.. 89 7714: Autobiography of a Bowlder Bowlder am I. Born in the glacial ageg Wrapped in my stony bosom lies the tale Of ages gone, for I am older than The very hills themselves, and I have seen Three races thrive, where two have passed away, And all the beasts that haunt primeval wilds. Bowlder am I. I watched the forest grow Here on my native plain, and stood unchilled Beneath the northern winters-stark and lone, An outpost in an undiscovered world. Slowly the years went by. I watched, sometimes, From out the neighb'ring wood, a hungry wolf Would cower beneath my shelt'ring browg perchance An Indian leaned against my stony side, To take a surer aim. Like shades they passed, Nor e'er returned, and the dark forest crept Closer upon me, and the creeping vines Circled my face. Then came the long dark years Of deep'ning shade, until the ringing stroke Announced the woodman's axe. He cleared away My tangled veil and let the sunlight in, Day after day he toiled, and sometimes fought With savage beasts, and still more savage men, Till he had conquered. ' Then came other men, And in the lapse of years, a city crept Out from the forest's verge, and one lone spire Stood in the foreground. - Time had set its mark Of many centuries upon my face, And beds of moss for years had wrapped my base 5 But I was not to rest, there came a night Of strange adventure, when my heavy form Was torn by many hands from out its place, And I Wm borne, in slow and solemn state, To my new resting place, beneath the spire That I had watched so long. They gathered round Beneath the swaying trees, and then I learned My name and final resting place, henceforth To be a part of Drake, since my great age Deserved such dignity. From what they said 90 I knew the class of nineteen two had bro't Me hereg and then a woman spoke to me And called me Middlemarch. When they were gone Dark forms appeared that moved with cautious tread, Then drawing closer, whispered over me, And rubbed my sides with paintg and when the light Of morning came, I found upon my face In bold black lines, inscribed the words, 'O3. Perhaps at first I rested ill upon my grassy bed, For stones are patient things that age makes proud, Nor care to be disturbed: but after while They came to me, my friends, to sit and rest Upon my stony side--co-eds who talked Of lessons, and of other things, and men Who spoke of sports, but ev'rybody talked Of stiff exams, and dreaded Hunks and Profs Sometimes they came in single pairs, and spoke In accents low and tender, but my trust Is sacred and I cannot tell. Here I would rest, For 'tis a pleasant place among my friends. Bowlder am I. I listen while the bell In yonder friendly tow'r, with clear, strong voice proclaims a greater future, yet to be. -JAM ES GARFIELD PATRICK In the Furrow Let me follow in the furrow while you turn the black soil over, Let me breathe the smell of mother earth I have not known so long.

'l'hough I come each spring--returning to the same instinctive rapture, It could never be more wonderful a transport than todayg Let me follow in the furrow that my heart may so recapture The dreams that chased the swaIlow's flight and lost it far away.

Such as led my steps in boyhood when the plowman's path I trod. Here the corn shall lift its greenness while the rain-washed winds blow over Till it bears the wealth of summer where the dark stalks droop and swayg Let me follow in the furrow, every sense an idle rover, VVith dreams that chased the swallow's flight and lost it far away.

This hybrid progeny of a laudable ambition and a misguided effort is of age any- where between thirty and fifty years. He is usually a four-eyed personage, has humped shoulders and slouches along swinging his arms as though they were attached to his body with strap hinges. He is an intellectual being fin his own estimationj and his physical appearance concerns him not at all. Either by reason of having been severely bumped on the head in his youth, or of inherited insanity, he has determined that in order to accomplish great things in life he must spend the best part of his life in school. The insane asylums of this state are overflowing with patients to compare whose sanity with his would be an affront to their intelligence. And whatmdoes this misguided being know? Why, he is a learned man fin some thingsj. He can tell you the exact date whrii the favored people of Israel crossed thc Red Sea after the waters had been rolled hack, and just how deep the mud was in the crossing. He can tell you just where and when Moses struck the rock which gushed forth water and also, confidentially, That Moses got his feet wet, although there are authorities to the effect that when Moses saw what he had done he was so scared that he took to the tall timber and thus escaped a wetting. lfverything that happened prior to the year IOOO li. C. is an open book to our Methusula, but if asked to name the president of the United States today it is an even bet he could not do it. To compare the condition of this Methusula's mind with that of boozy old Rip of story, when he returned to his native village after twenty years sleep in the mountains would cause old Rip to rip the headstone off his grave. Rip was only twenty years out of date-our Methusula is Iwo llzaumnrl. VVhat purpose does this misguided Hthingl' expect to fulfill in this world? It has yet to be discovered. Buried beneath tons of ancient literature, musty as the volumes in which he lives, he is an outcast, doing absolutely nothing for the advancement of the world. He is a useless burden upon society.

MISS CHAPMAN Principal ol the School of Oratory ratory ami Debate HE SHADES of Demosthenes and Cicero have long hovered around 56651 our classic hallsglbut' shades arer entities too intangible to have a definite, unwavering influence. lhough in other years, our fame g'Q'9g 1923 has gone abroad, and our opponents have trembled, in these latter days, the only indication of that former glory is the unabated trem- I M'AQ4i' i bling of said opponents-a trembling that is, mayhap-extending homeward. Wlieri the gridiron is snow-bound, and the elements, hostile to athletic enthusiasts rage without the thoughts of our young heroes turn lightly to oratory and debate. Yet perhaps it is unfair to say L'lightly, because we can boast orators who have spent even years in preparation. Truly, we, being young in years, have kept a record high in oratory among the colleges of Iowa. However, in debate our ambitions have not soared so high. There are traditions of a series with llflonmouth in '98, ,QQ and 1900, when we retired in sorrowful defeat. Also, there was a club, called the Ott Debating Club, which had a short, fitful existence. Now, the Claytonian Debating Society, composed of an earnest and energetic body of our young men, who have organized with an eye to the future, is systematically working up the debating spirit of Drake. The Claytonians are men of the right libre, men who have been strong in the face of utter discouragementg the future years will bear witness to this fact, when the powers that they have set in motion have placed Drake in the rank to which she belongs in debate. If our debating glory is of the future only, we do not claim the same for oratory. Laurels have come to Drake in this line through those who have since proved to the world that they are among the strong. We have such names as Joseph Dyer, Leslie Morgan, C. F. Aldinger, Susan Keating Glaspell, NV. J. Lockhart, on our honor list. Nloreover, we do not doubt that the coming years will add other names, of which we may be proud. The outlook is bright for both oratory and debate, and we are not lacking in the material that will bring to pass our highest hopes. The believers in the future of Drake are only looking forward to the time when literary efforts and contests will be as staunchly upheld and as enthusiastically supported as are the efforts in the athletic department, in the present day.

Monilaw This young man is an engineer, a mechanic, a doctor and an athletic trainer and coach. It is under the latter heading that we introduce him to you here. Nevertheless, we feel justified in branching out somewhat, and in sketching him not alone as an athlete and athletic trainer but as a man, in all that the word signifies. You are accustomed, no doubt, to associating with athletic coaches a rather loose system of morality and a disinclination for steady, consistent work. But in these particulars Wm. J. Monilaw does not resemble the average coach. He is one, pre-eminently of high moral Icharacter. His regard for truth is profound-he is an exponent of honesty in its highest form, and he stands for purity and upright manhood. Sincere, friendly and warm hearted his influence upon the field and among the students is only for the good. No track or foot-ball man ever learned a bad habit from U Mon. Any ten- dency to immoral conduct among the athletes has always been discouraged by him, and his influence has been great. His '03 foot ball team was a winning team, in spite of the fact that he had never played the game or even coached a foot ball squad before. Lack of material for the '04 team made the outlook gloomy. However, Mon. did not quit. He proceeded exactly as though he had the best material in the world, and considering all the handicaps, developed an unusually strong and speedy team,--one which not only won the respect of Michigan, the best team in the west, but even put that famous school in a state of great apprehension as to what the out- come of the game would be. Every one knows what his track teams are, and it would be useless to descrike them. He is State Champion, as a track trainer and coach, without a doubt. Drake's success in track athletics is not due to the fact that more or better material comes to Drake than to other schools, but because over there in the shed, in the cold days of winter, and out there on the track in the warm days of spring, something is doing, and doing tirelessly, unceasingly. And that H doing is due to U Mon. His heart and soul are in his work, he gives his all to the bringing about of the desired result. He has for seven years been the moving, creating force in the Drake athletics, and Drake owes to him more than she has ever paid in dollars and cents. He has become a part of the University which the University could not well do without, and while he remains such, success will be ours. 104 Julius F. Bacon With a steadily growing interest in foot ball, and witl1 the squad rapidly increasing in numbers with each year, it was found necessary to employ a regular assistant coach for the sec- ond team. This position was filled for tl1e first time in the 'F'-A season of 1903 by Julius F. Bacon. Bacon had previously played on the 'Varsity, being a substitute in lQQ, and quarter- back in 1900 and 1901, occupying the position of captain in 1900. His foot ball training under Best, Dietz and Monilaw developed his knowledge of the game to the point XYllCI'C the Board deemed it advisable to re-employ him as assistant coach for the past season--that of 1904. His work has been satisfac- tory throughout. The 'Varsity will be stronger next year by the addition of men who come from the ranks of the scrubs, with the advantage of personal oversight and training. The objection that foot ball furnishes athletic opportunities for but a limited num- ber, loses its force when competent assistant coaches are employed to look after the wel- fare of the beginner. The scrubs of IQO4, were stronger than ever before in the history of Drake frzot ball. They furnished the 'Varsity with many hotly contested games, and several of the men woniplaces among the regulars, which they bid fair to hold for the coming season. An assistant coach is of secondary importance only to the head coach, and should be selected with the same care. The system has come to stay in Drake, and Drake foot ball will continue to greatly profit thereby.

IQO4 ,v We , PRESIDENT BELL KICKS OFF Dedication Drake Stadium. Drake vl. Iowa, October 8, l904 Tue Stadium HAT is this Drake Stadium? is the frequent question of our friends and, incidentally, our foes. Grover Cleveland would prob- VW ably designate it as the concrete resultant of an unparalleled series lj i i tl of insufferable situations. Drake would label it as a hole in the ground wherein has been sunk a precious lot of the filthy, together l N' xr with the mortal remains of Normal, Coe, Grinnell, et al. Ames and Iowa probably remember it as a white lined sepulchre in which uneasy, web-footed spirits of slaughtered Drake football teams await the day of coming vengeance. I, the meek historian pronounce it all these-and more. Drake had a football team Csometimesj, but where should she put it? There was an old woman, etc. No football field of her own. Nothing of the name even in Des lVIoines, except an antiquated rat trap owned and mismanaged by some near sighted highway gentlemen known as the Des Nloines Base Ball Club, who rented it out at 25 per cent of the gross receipts because Drake couldn't really pay any more, don't y' know. Affairs had reached a crisis. Success was impossible. Each year was a financial failure. A field of her own was Drake's first necessity. Mr. Norman Haskins, our honored friend, came forward with a donation of the ground. It was a sunken ravine overshadowed by precipitous bluffs, but it was hailed with great joy-and much fear. Nearly every person was of two opinions-that it was possible to convert the grounds into a football fieldg also that itwas impossible. But the Athletic Board and likewise the Board of Trustees were of the opinion that it had to be done whether it could be or not. All negotiations with Ali Baba and the Forty Thieves were immediately broken off, games were scheduled for the new grounds, finance committees were appointed, engi- neers employed, contracts for grading and construction let, and the word was sent forth that October 8, 1904, would find the Drake Stadium doing business at the new stand. It did. On that day the last scraper full of dirt was dumped, the last board hur- riedly nailed into place, the first white lines drawn, and amid the Haunting colors, the challenging yells, the music and the eager, tense atmosphere of contest, the Drake Stadium was formally dedicated, and the old gold of Iowa and the white and blue of Drake were mingling in the first battle. The sunken ravine had disappeared. The bluffs had disappeared. Mahomet had come to the mountain and had dumped it into the valley. Before the astonished eyes of the visitors was a great, natural amphitheatreg the gridiron, level as the Hoor, in the center, the sides rising twenty-five feet up to the street level. A quarter-mile track, graded sixteen feet high on one curve and cut thirty feet on the other, encircled the field and passed in front of an immense cement amphitheatre. This amphitheatre witha seating capacity of approximately 2,500 people, is a solid block of cement. It is built upon the side of the west bluff, which was cut in terraces to support the tiers of seats. It is 270 feet long. A row of forty boxes, also of solid cc- ment, extends along the entire distance in front. Behind the boxes is a broad aisle, and above this, with plenty of passage way between them, rise thirteen tiers of seats on a steep slant, affording an uninterrupted view of the field. The boxes are five feet above the level of the gridiron, and the topmost tier of seats, though twenty-five feet above the gridiron, is just on the street level. The people enter from above and walk down to the seats, thus reversing the usual process, and preventing the obstruction of tli'e view. The Stadium is drained by a sewer which passes diagonally beneath the gridiron, so that although far below the level of the surrounding territory, it is as dry as an upland lot. A tight woven wire fence six feet high surrounds the gridiron, preventing any one not authorized from coming upon the field, thus effectually disposing of an antique and dreadful nuisance. The side line standing room is elevated five feet. above the field, giving the spectator the inestimable advantage of looking down into the play. Perhaps the most remarkable feature of the Stadium is the fact that the view of every part of the gridiron from all parts of the amphitheatre and field is exceedingly good. This is accomplish-ed by two things-first, distance, second, elevation. The amphitheatre is built thirty-six feet from the side line. The depression of the field, to- gether with the exceptionally steep pitch of the amphitheatre, enables a spectator from any seat to obtain an excellent view of any part of the field. The remarkable spectacle of an enthusiastic crowd actually remaining seated throughout an exciting game of football was witnessed for the first time in Des Moines at the Drake Stadium. The ex- planation is exceedingly simple. Every person saw each play perfectly from a sittinsg posture. The Stadium is far from being fully completed. Considerable more grading is nec- essary to insure a clear view of all parts of the track from the present amphitheatre. The entire length of the track must be cindered, enabling the management to hold events immediately after a downpour of rain. The amphitheatre is to be extended, a similar one to be erected on the east side of the grounds, and a roof built over each. Dressing rooms must be provided, retaining walls erected and improvements of various sorts constructed. It is the policy of the Board that everything connected with the Stadium shall be of the best. No half way measures. No flimsy grandstands, no temporary buildings. It will take years of patient effort and the expenditure of many thousands of dollars bc- fore the great Stadium will be finally completed. Even in its unfinished condition, it is pronounced by all to be superior to any foot- ball field in the West. With the expenditure of the necessary time and money, it can be made the finest field in the world. Nature has already provided what no amount of money could duplicate. The natural amphitheatre is not only unique and striking in effect, but is of the greatest possible advantage in the arrangement and construction of seats. Drake is proud of the Stadium. It means much to her field and track athletics. It furnishes a place for the holding of athletic contests of all kinds, second to none in the country. lt is one of the places of public interest in Des Moines, from the scenic point of view. It is all that Mr. Cleveland and Drake, Ames, Iowa and the meek his- torian would pronounce it, and more. V. H. WHITE. . l 1 .xx- Review of the Season HE story of the past foot ball season is easily told. We were not the champions of our state, yet we had as good a team M we have ever had. With conditions as they existed at the opening of the school year, fewhad dared to hope that the team would come out with such EQ,g33'Aig:3Q E an excellent record, clearly outclassing every team in the state with the exception of the boys from Iowa City and Ames. Indeed, the task which presented itself to the coaches when the candidates first met was no small one. From our great team of 1903, the smashing ground gainers, Walters, Stewart and Skid- more were missing, the other strong line men, Burrows, Browning and Kirby were not' playing, Lyons, at end, was out of school because of sickness, and Clark, our hurdling fullback, was also gone. These men playing the responsible positions that they did, left vacancies that were hard to fill. There were no promising substitutes for the line positions, and while some of the new men were large and active, more were small and not proportionally fast, and all, in most instances, were of uncertain quality. The schedule, too, was the hardest ever undertaken by any Iowa school. The game with Iowa came early in the season, then Wisconsin and Michigan, the strongest team in the West, and the year closed with Ames on Thanksgiving. Early in the season the possibilities of the team became evident. Beyond all expec- tation the score at the close of the first half of the Iowa game was 0 to O. The new men were regulating themselves into a machine-like offense and a stone-wall defense. They were showing ground gaining ability of the Walters and Pell type. The defense was good and consistent all season. The offense was alternately brilliant and mediocre. The inability to do exactly the right thing at exactly the right time lost the two games of the year that we most desired to win. With but Jordan, Taylor and Main of last year's regulars playing, with but one practice game ,Drake met Iowa and was defeated 17 to 0, the score at the end of the 110 first half being o to O. With the championship of the state already lost the situation did not look very encouraging either to the outsider or to ourselves. But there was the true Drake spirit in the coaches, there the same spirit in the men, and with com- mendable grit after a crushing defeat at the hands of Wisconsin, the boys pulled to- gether, developed speed and team work and next week defeated Grinnell by a score of 67 to O. They gave a line exhibition of foot ball at Ann Arbor tl1e following week. The Jllirrhigan Daily says: For the second time this year lVIichigan has been scored on, but this time she has no excuse to offer. It was no fluke that enabled Drake to score, but simply Michigan's poor playing. The catastrophe happened in this wise: Burcham dropped back for a drop kick. Once before the Hawkeye had essayed the feat but Clark got through and blocked his kick. This time, however, Burcham proved that his reputation had not been gained under false pretenses. He sent the ball sailing between the goal posts, and the height of Drake's ambition had been reached. However, the score was not all Drake did to us. A clever tackle by Norcross and two swell ones by Nlagoffin were all that saved lVIichigan's goal line. Main sev- eral times got away for long runs and Kintz, the big fullback, smashed through the line repeatedly for good gains. When time was called Drake had the ball on Miclligan's twenty-yard line where Main had carried it by a fifteen-yard sprint around Garrells. It looked as though Drake might have scored a touchdown had not the timekeepers in- terferedf' Simpson was defeated 46 to 5 and the season was closed by defeating State Normal 26 to 6 five days before Thanksgiving, then to be defeated in the Ames game, by hard luck and inability to handle punts, a point of the game in which we had been strong in every other contest during the year. All admit that our boys played clever football on that day. The physical condition of the team was good, only three substitutes being made, while VVatson's team made seven. In almost! every feature of the, game Drake excelled, yet Ames won by a score of IQ to O. In the first half Drake carried the ball 120 yards against 78 for Ames. And in the second half Drake carried the ball 137 and Ames 126. The referee of the game said: Ames carried the ball less than I2 yards for her two touchdownsf' Nor was the carrying of tl1e hall the only point in which Drake excelled. Drake punted in the first half nine times, the ball going in all 289 yards or an average of 32 yards. Ames punted eleven times, the ball going 314 yards or an average of 28 yards. In the second half Drake punted eight times, a distance of 244 yards, averaging 303 yards to the punt, while Ames punted 67 yards in three trials, an average of 2233 yards. Looking back, the past season accomplished more for Drake than any year for a long time. The season opened with the poorest of prospects. Here the true Drake spirit began to show itself. Men and coaches realized that it was up to them. All went to work with a determination, and the season was closed with credit to the blue and white. The strongest second team we have ever had, good fellowship, and tl1c best of spirit was everywhere. The boys had the desire to win-the spirit of fighters-and next year they will win. HU1z1zRT U'l'1'lERB.fXCli. 111 eroes of the ri iron -PALAS This fellow is a German if he doesn't look it. Speaks English with fluency. When he calls a man a liar he does it as an expert linguist and with the same force that he bucks the line. He plays center but does not confine himself to that position. He may be seen tackling outside of end, breaking interference or any- where between the goal posts where the ball happens to lie. He likes to tackle, push or block, but most of all, to break an opponent's nose with his head. Likes to go on trips too, especially by way of Chicago. We have not yet learned whether or not she is a German. HOFFMAIL Alfred is also of Tuetonic stock. His ancestors guarded their land from the pounding sea with dikes. He guards his goal from the pounding line smashes with his own body. He plays next to Palas on the other side from Conaway and is there with the goods. He plays hard and never lies down. He also studies and has a private study fitted up in the gym. where he will not be bothered in his original research. Some people say he looks like Benjamin Franklin and we think it is true. The big D he wears on his sweater does not stand for Dutch but for Drake and our honorable guard has certainly SELF This is lovingly .lack. He plays tackle or end just as you please and has been known to play both at once. He is built stockily, and after the manner of one Sam- son. Interference that goes his way usually melts in a heap before it gets started. He is a jolly one. this jack, but he never feels just right unless his nose is broken. He takes law, or law takes him, we don't know which. The girls, here, don't cut much ice with him, but we often note a faraway look in his eyes and think he will get a life sen- tence after graduation. H2 .12?1Tl9.1i Plays left tackle and has never been known to let his studies interfere with his regular work. Plays fierce and looks like a Sioux Indian in the line. He attacked the pale faces with great valor and took several scalps. Wlren given the ball he goes around short end like a dog running a rabbit around a. stump. If three or four men tackle him, it makes no difference to Hap',-he goes on anyhow. One is reminded of a locomotive bucking a snow drift. He never goes with the girls, probably because they make him tired, but it may be, too, that he is mar- ried. I l l JORDAN This specimen of the genus homo is yet unsolved. Critics give him a high place in the foot ball world but they haven't yet figured him out. He is an enigma, and no one kno-ws what he will do next. He hits interference with his arms, legs, body and head. He plays end but drops back occasionally to punt a spiral with his left foot. He has also been known to play halfback. When he returns a punt one is reminded of a coyote running through a pack of hounds. He usually has a good time when the team spends a day in Chicago. He is a good fellow, a good jollier and a good feeder. We forgot to mention that he is captain of the team. 113 In l x .M tw Q H. I SHARNBERG Also of Tuetonic ancestry. Came over in IQOO His name is Willianr but he is known as Germ my Plays tackle, and is certainly good when it comes to tackling 1 i square meal. He comes from liverly, lou 1, and is the , very same who charged so hard against Michigun He l studies some and is enrolled in the College of Liber il Arts. He is loyal to his native section and nothing dis gusts him so much as High Dutch. He xx ears his sweater well and looks like Dan lVIcGugin. l l . i l i GILBERT This quiet, unassuming young doctor plays end. It isn't hard to find him in a scrimmage-if he doesn't wear a head gear. He dumps up the interference in a heart- breaking way and is one of the kind that keeps 'still and plays ball. He is proficient in every phase of the game, but his specialty is butting heads with Jewett on the prac- tice field. It is unsafe to say what he will do next year. We would like to see him in the line again but his mother may decide that he is ineligible. x QZLBY This rather lank and muscular citizen drifted into school quietly and unostentatiously. He looked like he had forgotten something and could not think what it was. But his facial expression is born of a serious view of life. We do not yet know whether he is a philosopher or an expert in higher mathematics, but we are sure he is some- thing. We discovered him on the gridiron one afternoon and have since been watching him do stunts at end posi- tion. We have seen interference stop in a heap behind the line and after disentangling itself we have noted Selby at the bottom of it. These oft-repeated stunts so brilliantly executed, proclaim him a fast end in days to come. TAYLOR This ever-dignified and unmoved gentleman plays quarter. He plays the position in the same way that he recites in the law school and waits on the table at the Davis restaurant-ever calm and self-possessed. If he does get excited at times it does not prevent him from seeing the ludicrous side of things and hollering pereat. He is one of the steady, dependable sort on and off the gridiron-has never been known to rest and is a friend that sticks. He has an eye to business and always makes his own way. He spends neither time nor money on girls but he will be married before long, just the same. 114 ligiigli This is Jeff, another one of our quarterbacks. He is naturally hilarious, but takes Christian Evidence as an antidote. Some people say he studies, others say he does not, at least, no one knows. He is a fast quarterback and a good field general, but his favorite stunt is singing gospel hymns in the hall of the Main Building. He is going to be a doctor and takes his degree in I9-. 4 . L. ... .-e..., ,...... .... Ja.: . ... MAIN This rather uncertain looking gentleman plays left half and great is his physical prowess. He is that fast halfback from Drake. If he gets away we calmly mark up another touchdown and watch the opposing team trail out over the field behind him. He beats the ball down the field on punts and lights on his man like an eagle swooping down from the sky. He tackles, sometimes, by the neck but preferably by the ears or hair. Like all con- scientious foot ball men he took law and though incidental to his regular work he devoted considerable time to it. He took his degree of Ph. D. last fall upon the comple- tion of the Stadium fence. BURCHAMQ This is one of our old stand-bys. He has played three years and has been honored by the position of cap- tain for next year. He is a clean, steady player, one of the kind that you like to watch, for he always plays real foot ball and never goes up in the air. A student of the game he puts his speed and nerve to best advantage and is always in the right place at the right time. He is a place kicker of distinction, too, having kicked a goal at Ann Arbor which gave the whole Michigan team heart failure. His pleasant Irish manner has won for him the name of l'Tim and his broad grin and big heart have made him a friend of all. 115 give it any credence. OLE This flaxen haired, blue eyed youth is directly de- scended from a viking king. He loves to ponder the tra- ditions handed down from the old Norsemen and his eyes Hash like light from the hammer of Thor when relating wild tales of the old North Seas. It grieves him.sore that the days of adventure are past and for slight consolation to his brave and strenuous soul he plays foot ball. He plays fullback and his love of romantic adventure and his pride in knightly achievement may be seen when he smites his opponent and turns grandly to the grand stand and receives graciously the thundering applause. A knight is he, a bold Norseman and a gentleman of true chivalry. With a health to old Scandinavia we hail the gallant Ole. hard to displace. I 16 WOODROW This 160-pound youngster plays left half He plays carefully and consistently He runs fast and low after the manner of a jungle tracker He can kick from place ment, too, and an opponents goal within forty yards of him is always in danger. He translates the fellows Latin for them when they get stuck and stars in mathematlcs also. They say that he was once seen with a girl but me have no reason for believing the statement and refuse to V HASBROOK -- .i, This good natured, friendly child of the gridiron also plays fullback. He likes to play football, but likes to shoot rabbits better. But for awhile he has laid aside his gun and has kindly given his whole time to us and the University. You can recognize him on the field because he is always drop kicking and about once a week he kicks a goal. Reared an agriculturist, he is great of body and limb, has a big appetite and foot Of kind disposition and gentle heart, he is every ready and willing to assist and serve. Give him another year and he will be a fixture ,MEEQQ This unmoved and imperturable gentleman is not a German professorg he is a foot ball man and plays guard. He's not so had either. He got to go to Michigan and being observing, he learned several things not taught in school. Unmoved and imperturable he is, as a rule, and his equanamity has never been shaken, except when he jumped off the freight train at Ann Arbor. I-Ie had a little hard luck while away and broke his glasses, but he is good natured and paid our bills at the restaurant while we were in Chicago. His sense of direction became some- what disturbed also and he did the town before finding the car at the La Salle Street Station. But he got home all right and we will keep an eye on him till next year when we will need him in the line. KEENEY This valiant youth plays end--it makes no difference which o-ne. He plays with might and main, runs on his heels and with the noise of a steam engine. He plays high, except when he gets his nose bumped and then he plays low. He hits his opponent like a saw log thrown at his knees, and devotes heart and soul to the game. We like his steadfastness of purpose, his strenuous spirit and his broad grin. CONAWAY There is one individual whose photograph does not appear. This is not because he is a sub or a poor player--quite the contrary. It is because no camera has yet been invented which is big enough to photograph him. He plays guard and plays as hard as he can. His name is Conawy. People call him Berry but he is a peach. The lVIichigan guard could not put him down so he fell down to show the Michigan man that it could be done. Oppos- ing teams find difficulty in displacing his 255 pounds from the line. When in Chicago, he sunburned the roof of his mouth looking at the Masonic Temple. He has only played foot ball one season. Keep your eye on him next year. H7 AT WISCONSIN AND MICHIGAN Vvilliam Martin Heston Comes to Drake University as head foot ball coach with perhaps the most sensational record of any man who has ever donned the mole-skin, and with four years of hard, persistent training under the invincible Yost, which means the best possible preparation that a man could have to fill the position of coach to a western foot ball team. Heston was born at Jefferson, Iowa, twenty-six years ago. Five years later his parents moved to Kansas, and soon to Grant's Pass, Oregon. He played his first foot ball on the team of the San Jose Normal School, one year at guard and one year at half back, being considered the best all-around man that institution ever developed. He entered the University of Michigan in 1901, and was placed at half back, a position which he has held during the past four years, occupying the position of captain in 1904. His playing throughout has been little less than phenomenal. He never missed a game on account of injuries. He was the most aggressive player on the Michigan teamg always in every play, both offensive and defensive, quick to seize every advantage offered, absolutely fearless, a hard man to tackle. and a still harder man to stop. He is strong, a fast starter, a good dodger, but always and pre-emi- nently a ground gainer and a fighter. Heston can run I00 yards in IO I-5 seconds, and 40 yards in record time, He is never headed back, but is always dodging and plunging toward the opponents' goal, using his arms and knees to ward off tacklers, and even shifting the ball when necessary. Detailed statistics show that in each of the past four foot ball seasons Heston gained more ground than any other two players in the country. His average gain was markedly higher than that of any other player. He has scored over eighty touch- downs for Michigan. or an average of over two a game, earning for himself the expressive sobriquet of Htouchdown Heston. In Michigan's big games he has made practically half of the gains made in straight foot ball. He is called upon twice as often as any other man on the team, and the proportion of the gains made by him increases with the strength of the opposing' team. Perhaps his most remarkable performance was in his last game, the Michigan- Chicago game at Ann Arbor, Michigan, November 12, 1904. Stagg, of Chicago, had developed a carefully planned special defense against Heston. In every play he was a marked man. An extra player was placed on the end he would attempt to run. In this game Heston responded to the challenge of his opponents and the hopes of his friends by carrying the ball in thirty-eight trials a distance of 240 yards, or an average of something over six yardsl As against HeSt0n's 240 yards, the rest of the Michigan team carried it 261 yards, or twenty-one yards more, while the entire Chicago team carried the ball II9 yards, or less than half as far as Heston carried it alone. H9 FOOT BALL ON AND OFF THE GKIDIRON i E KX 1 4' TRACK TEAM. I 04 HE fragrance of the rose is little appreciated by the florist and he 'i ' V I 'if' delivers to the customer the costliest American Beauty with no thought of its real worth. Thus it is with the student who reads RS ti 3 a chronicle of the events of the Drake track teams. There is such an unvaried recital in the articles that we come to read them as a matter of course, pay little heed to the facts contained and, stoic- -aff .m.7A'T.,.. Tia like, feel none of those sensations which cause the heart to beat quicker and the blood to How faster. Such is the inevitable result of the continuing success which, in thc past, has crowned the work of our track teams. Such was the atmosphere in which the track season of 1904 opened. Chapman was ineligible, Barnes was not in school, Young was overcrowded with work. Critics said we could not sustain such losses and still win the State Meet. The non-professional reader, by his silence, consented. The winter months wore on. Main became fast. Sleeper took on strength. New material gave promise of being point winners. The old shed with its many inconven- iences had again instilled into the men that indomitable courage which waxes strong by meeting obstacles and conquering them. The win spirit manifested itself. Our home meet gave the critics one more guess which they siezed with increased zeal. Here the last ohsequies of many a record were pronounced. We met Grinnell and won from her only to lose our meet to Ames two weeks later. Ames thanked us for her first dual victory and boasted that the state cup was within her grasp. There was many a slip 'twixt Ames and the cup, however. Our athletes slipped in for firsts, seconds and thirds till our fourth successive victory in the I. I. C. A. A. meet was recorded and the white Drake perched on the top rung of the Iowa athletic ladder. Let not the sweetness of victory diminish in proportion to the number of our suc- cesses. Let it not be necessary to contrast that sweetness with the bitterness of defeat to weigh its value. r i . . X-' RVN In .A ,I 5: ,1 1 l,fY-f sf, IL - -J 4, I ,J 5 N. .

He was possessed of a clear head, plenty E , , . ' .,,5.g1f,g -' of nerve, an average amount of avoirdupois, and speed galore. A good find, said Coach Best, and so he has proved. From a man absolutely green in athletics he has become the most popular man who ever donned a Drake uniform. This envied distinction is universally accorded him. Those whom he has defeated year after year' attribute this popularity to the fact that he first won our quarter mile races, then our hurdling events, then our relay races, then our hundred yard dashes and that he ever appeared the bright star in foot ball gear. Those men abound in green-eyed jealousy which prevents fairness of view. The true lover of manly sport will tell you that he loves Main because he was always gameg because when Main entered a race he had no fear of a half-hearted performance, be- cause Main never said Enough until the race was finishedg because no handicap ever daunted his courage or caused his determination to waverg because no task was so hard but that Main could do more when called upon. Those who have associated with him and know him look deeper than the surface. for all those have felt the effect of that primatively honest, whole-souled, 'warm heart which lies within the man. No man could sympathize more deeply with a loosing team-mate, no man could instill more courage in a new man, and no man had a truer word of genuine praise for a winner. Sleeper r A mere boy, he landed at Drake with his lungs filled with that pure li ' air of O'Brien County, which is so conducive to energy and endurance. But maturity and strength of muscles he still lacked and it took one whole year in which to build 'L frame and smevss commensurate with the natural energy 'I hat year we kneu nothing of Sleeper save on the home track D ,, ff and no one realized that a star performer was in our midst. In that year of jogging he builded better than he himself knew. The following fall he continued that strength-building exercise and in the spring we found a winner. At Grinnell he undoubtedly underwent one of the severest strains that could be imposed upon a 'fgreen man. After having run himself all in on the fifth lap of a two-mile race, believing it to be the finish he was compelled to run another third of a mile. This he did and won the race. Such nerve is a joy and blessing for- ever to the supporters of any man. In that race Sleeper won the confidence of trainer, supporters and of himself. From that day he never entered a single race but to win save once and that under anything but auspicious circumstances. I refer tothe Chicago meet where Sleeper showed a clean pair of heels to Chicago, Michigan, Minnesota, Cali- fornia, Northwestern. One man only breasted the tape before him. For the loss of such a man there is nothing but the deepest regret e'er escapes the lips of a loyal Drake. Exceptionally temperate in all habits he promised to make for himself and for Drake University a world-wide reputation as an athlete and as a man. l26 I B11I'Cl'1a.lT1 In casting around for a football captain for 1905, why should it be ' that all eyes and minds were directed upon one individual among a dozen? -- The answer may be found in several facts combined. To instill con- f , N' 'L 513' fidence and co-operation in a foot ball team you must have a man at the 2 ,, head who in himself is, first, a superior player and secondly, a man who can see another's faults and make them known to him in an unoffensive manner. To convince Drake students that Burcham is the former needs no argument. We have seen him in every department of the game with that same ease and self-forgetfulness which insures daring. He has an eagle eye for errors and a foot ball knowledge that tells him in the supr of th moment how to rectify those mistakes. Such a man should lead the Drake forces to many a victory. The mental, moral and physical courage of the man may well be held up as an example before the eyes of the 1905 foot ball squad and upon a worthier man the highest honor of captain could not be lodged. His pre-eminence in class room work is only another example of the man's true self. An athlete and a student combined or in more fitting terms a true athlete. Burcham came to Drake with an enviable high school record but unlike so many high school men he had not reached his maturity in athletics and it was fo-r Drake that his best efforts were to be spent. His ability as a foot ball man soon became felt and hc earned the position of fullback on the 'Varsity. Hard luck in the form of injuries has continually been his lot, but a steadier and more consistent player Drake has not had. A constant increase of speed, endurance and knowledge of the game made him during his Junior year our most valuable man. In track work Burcham has laid a foundation in the past years which will doubtless make him a star of the first magnitude in his two following years. ' Harry Thompson V Harry J. Thompson belongs to that class of people whom we can . justly call Drake products. Before coming to Drake Harry had received a common school education, but what has since proved equally beneficial, L 'HM he was also compelled, by circumstances we may. call either fortunate or 7 ' ' unfortunate, to learn how to make a living. Since his fourteenth year tif Harry has been dependent upon himself. Realizing that all men should have higher ideals than simply to sus- tain life and seized with a desire to taste of these better things he came to Drake to seek those blessings of which no man can ever be deprived. He came a youth who could adapt himself to any line of work, a youth who was frank, straightforward and willing to put his shoulder to any taskg a youth who proved faith- ful to every trust reposed in him. Such characteristics found response in the hearts of those with whom he associated and brought him continual employment. Those same qualities compelled success in the class room and placed him high in the estimation of professors. Upon the track team those same ideas oft lead him to rebuke a track-mate for not taking hold of athletics in a spirit of work rather than play. In addition to gaining a livelihood during his four years with us Harry has com- pleted a year's preparatory work, a year's collegiate work and two years of his law course. , , In athletics he has standing to his creditnot only a state record, several dual and home track records, but has risen from a mere nonentity in his first few attempts until in 1904 he washonored by the captaincy of a champion state track team, the highest gift at the disposal of our track athletes. That he is also a member of the Athletic Board speaks for his judgment and popularity. Results Home Meet '04 1 EVENT. FIRST PLACE.

Tennis in the University has seen rapid advancement the last two years. This is due to the fact that the Athletic Board has decided that we are no longer an orphan association but theirs by adoption. The new rules formulated whereby we can obtain the big D together with our admission to the State Tournament has given new spirit and meaning to this department of athletics. The review of last season is most encour- aging. In our intercollegiate tournaments in the state we lost but one first double match and a second single. The city inter-scholastic meet showed us at our best as one by one the four high schools and three sister colleges went down before our rackets. In the final spirited contest Shullenberger defeated Walmsley of Still College 6-2, 7-5, 6-2, win- ning the championship and the twenty-five dollar trophy cup. After a long fight Becker and Shullenberger won second in the doubles by a close score. In the autumn tourna- ment of the Tennis and Outing Club a long line of victories attests to our prowess. With all our old players back for the season of '05 and abundance of new material we hotpe to tell you of more trophies and a state cup the next time. l35 f 7 ' f x X L br s 1, 7 lg.

Drake came to me and I remain here simply to instruct her students in the dead philosophy of the past ages of my youth. PROFESSOR SHEPHERD. I heard from an indirect source that the girls at Drake were very fond of auburn hair, and as all the girls at home were sore at me, I decided to come here and have a good time. I confess I have geen grieviously disappointed as the girls do not seem to be attracted by my auburn locks as much as I had anticipated. BLAINIE Nici-roms. Dad watched me so close at home that I couldnlt tear around as much as I liked, and as I don't believe I was born to exert my muscular anatomy, I came to Drake to spend Dad's coin, jolly the girls, bluff the Profs and have a general good time. ' Yours for fun, TOMMY WATTS. Knowing that Professor Davis' estimate of literature would be infinitely detrimen- tal to anyone who desired to gain a true knowledge of the works of English writers, I came to Drake upon hearing of his employment, in order to be of service to the literar- 142 ially inclined, and to save the reputation of the University in the standing and scholar- ship of its graduates. For the success of my endeavor please notice the heretofore uu- surpassed scholarship of the class which graduates next year. , FA'rHER L. W. SMITH. My greatest ambition in life is to become an athlete. When l came to school years ago I couldn't run fast enough to get up a good sweat. Now l-can almost beat Dutch in a hundred, and I hope by the time l graduate that I will be able to break the tape with XVoodrow with an advantage of twenty yards handicap given me. lVIy long suit, though, is the shot put at 33' 7.749 . FRANK Ronny. P. S.-'lVish I had 'a D to wear. I was unselfish. Knowing what a benefit it would be for others to associate with me, how my example would inspire others, and that the Drake girls would be pleased with my company and would enjoy beholding my beautiful form and features, I came to Drake. , Dox C. NICCULLY. A great mind must have some channel for an outlet or overflow. It occurred to me that the professors in a great University would be fit subjects upon whom to let loose the rapid-fire battery of my questions and suggestions. Ergo, hier, bin ich. HARRY Mrrcmau.. When I heard what great success my elder sister had had here at Drake in the laudable occupation of getting as many heads to her credit as possible, I decided to try my hand at it, since such qualifications generally run in the family. I congratulate my- self that I have made a very good beginning. VELMA DOWNING. I am a married man. A married man must have so-me means of supporting a fam ily.

I thought it was the year 2256 A. D. and Frank Robey and myself were walking through an artificial grove listening to the mechanical birds singing in the tree tops as history tells us real birds used to do before ladies began wearing them on their hats. We were talking of the great men of past ages. Let me see,'l said Robey. Arthur Palas was a famous man. He lived near the opening of the twentieth century, didn't he ? Just then hfliles snored and woke me up. 1 can't see why XIV. hliles always has to snore, Therels Iflla Slemmons, Bessie hfIcClennahan and Clarence Rainwater who haven't snored as long as I've been in that class. And at this particular time Sinclair, Nlitchell, Prussia and Nlisses White, Clark and Drake were sleeping soundly and not uttering a sound, while hfIcClure, Ifdwards and Miss NVears were only doing so occa- sionally. x ---5.

Xa - I Q. 55555 f --...Q A V x X Xl' I W X so Apologetics QQ' NE morning, force of circumstances C U being responsible for a late ' i' entrance to the Apologetics class, I sought out and secured a dilap- idated trio of chairs on the north edge of the room. The few I scraggling outposts of industry were flanked on the south by a vast align' regiment of buzzing or droning Apologists. Far to the front, care- fully poised on tilted chairs, sat Our Preacher Aggregation im- pressed with their own superiority of intellect and pityingly conscious of the uniformed L. A.'s. And to such a degree was their Christian charity expanded that they answered all questions pro and con and when necessary argued the indisputable and undisputed points. One in particular, Mitchell, who was anchored near the piano, asked and answered and asked again. Back of him was a particularly luminous Deadman, who in sheer timidity never knew exactly but I think-. Extremely near and dear to this one Cfor what Colorado cowboy does not court death, was John Booth recklessly but skillfully lassooing Lyman Edwards. The frantic victim at last securely tied with the curtain cord, he was tenderly bound to the chair back, where he continued to struggle until the Honorable Professor Lockhart turned his wandering glance upon him. Thinking this a favorable opportunity Marion Morrison, who was guarding lVIiss Starzinger while she prepared a Greek lesson, piped up with the familiar Did you call my name, Professor ? This query easily answered, Prof. again experimented with his question. Miss Bland, will you please answer. I'm not prepared this morning, came the familiar plea. Very well, Mr. lVIeyer will tell us, perhaps. If you please, I didn't understand the question, answered the aforesaid, bringing his chair to a position better adapted to attention. With an air of martyred patience, Shortridge Hardesty caught the pencil which he had been balancing for Frank Jefferson's amusement, and now divided his time between pinching Myer's cares and hanging his hat on the back of Miss Harmsen's chair. Even now with the lesson half over, Rosalie Michael hurried slowly into the room and sought out a chair near the front. The commotion had scarcely disturbed a quiet pair in the last row of seats. Witli an interested face Leona Dowden carefully covered a penny with her fingers and Edwin Burrows matched his last copper for the last time. g Can Mr. Burrows answer my question, asked the tireless Mr. Lockhart. I'm not prepared, Professorf' came the answer, although the eyes were not re- moved from his partner's fingers. The game ended abruptly and attention was turned to the sleeping Earl Sinclair and beside him to the fond couple, Walter Simpson and Mabel Koons. Having offered his hand and heart, the gentleman was now dutifully endowing the maiden with all his worldly possessions-half-corrected Delphic proof, pencils, pens, letters and one pair of scissors. ' The Professor had retreated to the Posted Corner and the question was an- swered in full. Then came the welcome, For our next meeting we will finish the remaining six pages of today's assignment and take four in advance. Is there any ques- tion any one should like to ask P Then as an afterthought, Miss Macomber, would you like to have your name changed ? and a very decided Yes, sir responded. In the speculative silence that followed, C. F. Wards' interested tones entreated, Please change mine too, Professor. Then fortunately the bell sounded, the sleeping were wakened, and the morning's trials were over. 145 7-be 6156.5 of' aan. Qhdehs-fendfyp 'W AM OF Ml 'THE ti m s N0 ' A ICS .

Arrived at the top I turned to the right and struggled through a throng of humanity, twisting and squirming in the defile that connects the Political Science room with the hall. Bursting out of this writhing mass I precipitated myself into the aforesaid Political Science room, climbed over three rows of chairs, and after knocking two obstreperous law students down, I triumphantly took a seat in the chair I had won. I sat thus but a moment, when John Self dropped a snou' ball down my back. I threw a book at him but missed. Then Julius Bacon stuck Reverend Wicks with a pin and Professor Herriott wrapped for order when I laughed aloud. Things became quiet for a few moments. Then Frank Jefferson pulled a chair from under some one in front of him and Prof. raised his voice to be heard above the tumult that followed. We quietcd down again and were still while Don lVIcCully told about Prafemrn- Jackson making a compr5m'-ise. Then a timid Freshman asked a question. No one could answer it but John Self and he rendered a decision with much dignity. The Prof. was just getting wild this hair was flying, his eyes bulging and his face Ham- ingj in telling about the political corruption in Rhode Island, when the gong sounded and I stampeded with the rest through the delile, down the stairs and out of the build- mg. - .. .. , f GH P All PL w if ,,.g i K g y . u . , . 1 5 l, - ' F' D Pl W --T-'-...f- I ,al ' l L ggi .g ig X I ' , F4 fin? -2+ 'M:' '1vN' fr' grgxfitigffem Tse?-if-he frnslg u,h'.

' GUARDING THE STADIUM ome Nonsense Rhymes There was a big Senior named Wall, Who could jump o'er a cross-bar so tall. When he started to drop ' He could turn a flip-Hop, And not have to hurry at all. A president whose name was Bell, In stopping class scraps did quite well, For, as ev'ryone sees, You may scrap all you please, But about it you never must tell. There was a sweet Senior named Koons, Who in life prays for very few boons Save one, it is said, And 'tis rumored she'll wed An editor, ere many moons. There was a professor named Veatch, Who Religion and Hebrew did teatch, When we came back this year, We found him not here And we guess he has gone out to preatch. There was a young lady named Conn, Who a capp and gownn lately did donn, She was very demure, And as sweet, I amm sure As ever a mann looked uponn. A trainer whose name's Monilaw, Takes material essentially raw. But converts it to stuff That puts up such a bluff , As a prize in the State Meet to draw. ,A Prof. who is often called Dan, Delights o'er the heavens to scan, With keen curiosity To find nebulosity Wherever he possibly can. A devoted young lady named Drake, To the heathen herself will betake, On a cannibal isle Some native will smile, And judge her a pretty fine bake. There was a fair maiden named Bland, Who much jollying never could stand, And so, my dear Phil, You had better keep still, Lest resentment to anger be fanned. There was a professor named Kirque, VV hose students were much prone to shirque. Ev'ry day was examine, Ev'ry night they must cramme, And thus he did get them to wirque. Said a handsome young fellow named Dooke I admire both your mien and your looke, But a caution Cdon't blame mel : Don't you ever tell Amy, For such thing she never would brooke. A charming young lady named Jones, Was quite cordial, as ev'ryone owns. She became registrar, And the last reports are She converses in cold business tones. There is a young Senior named Florence, W'ho holds men in charming abhorrence, But some future day They may all go away, And her tears may then fall in swift torrence. Doctor Lockhart remarked he desired Christian Evidences should be required, The Senior lamented When he heard it was granted, For whoever don't take it is fired. An editor's first name was Walter Being led, like a lamb, to the altar, He will probably say As she leads him away, I tho't I was through with this halter! A young preacher, whose hair is quite red, Just after his first sermon said: Tho' I feel quite replete I shall not be complete Till I manage somebody to wed. There is a great college named Drake, These lines I do write for her sake, On accounte of the jobbe, I may yette face a mobbe, But the chance I am willing to take. -JAMES GARIFIELD PATRICK.

D., who had just arrived for the summer, and as I was pondering deeply whether aesthetical feeling is a psychological phenomonem affectively adduced from the complex pleasure-pain phychoses which acts sympathetically with external stimuli applied to the end organs or not. I sat down on her left side and began to extract the white fluid from her mammary glands, when suddenly she 'hee-hawed' and 'histedl me fifteen feet over the garden fence. 'Yes, darn you,' said I, 'you're like one of those blamed foot ball referees-penalized me five yards for an off-side play.' U Library Etiquette Buy a ticket before you enter the Library. Never return your books on time. Never wear squeaky shoes nor in any manner disturb your neighbor's slumber. Don't ask for anything, hunt it up, the Librarian ean't locate anything. Always go behind the book cases to talk. Hold your committee meetings in the Library. Never utilize the steps from the Library to the Chapel. Do not expect to find the reference books or dictionaries. Do not wear loud clothes, silence is required. The Librarian is to furnish us books, not enterta.inment. . Don't let the books interfere with the regular society work. Forethought should always be exercised before the lights are turned on too sud- denly between the cases Use the trophies and cups for chafing dishes. Don't make eyes clear across the Library-sit at the same table. Don't study with your gentleman friend, the Librarian cannot do so. Don't make eyes at the Librarian when she is not behind a book case. Don't talk in the Library-the privilege is reserved for the Faculty. Entertain your friends in the Library. Be sure to study together. Don't let the Librarian see you carry off the books. It is impolite to show alarm when you hear mysterious rappings, it is only the Librarian tapping, gentle rapping on her oaken desk. -Tag ' 1' N ' VV - f' I . 6 r TANP5 LJ ' X 5 V, UWC - mmm Q mmf X f' '.l '.l'J!'l, SEBI Z .J nvrrm g nf' Q X - gai C5 ' . s 3 CV? rw C i gg ..-.1 NO MAIL Did You Ever Notice?

HOW TO SUCCEED IN POLITICS, OR A HISTORY OF rI1HE DELI'HIC ELECTIONE' By ROY BUMP. 161 '06 at hapel I like to go to Chapel and always sit with the same girl. She's afraid to talk above an undertone so I have to lean over sideways to hear what she says. Dean Haggard talked this morning, but I didn't hear a thing he said. Miss llowden seemed to like it, at least she clapped vigorously. Pearl Taylor butted in to our section and sat in front of me. I presume she wanted me to study her hig hat, which I did closely. Sometimes I stretched my head away to one side to see what was causing such a quiet spell among the Seniors. I never was able to find out. When some out-of-town preacher gets to f'hless Drake University, these noble 'teachers and students here assembledf' the powers get weak-kneed, and begin to bend while Dean Howard quits looking around the galleries and begins looking up an- other song. By this time the front row of the rostrum are about half seated so lid. Burrows and Griflith get good and ready and say the Amen, whereupon we know its time to sing No. 28 again. Raleigh Snyder, et veteran: are well pleased to hum the tune with the book upside down. Miss Starzinger fetal sing any old tune while Sinclair's section are not particu- lar about the words. We all are naturally religious and never talk duringprayer except in an undertone. Some of the more devout as, Miss Driscoll, lvliss Slemmons and Geo. Keeney, don't even do that, hut study their lessons instead. VVhen the Chapel speaker fails to appear President Bell talks, sometimes about concerted action. NVC cheer such talks vigorously. It would save time for President Bell to have a placard posted in Chapel reading: '08 regular daily class meeting at 4 P. M. in room IS. Their special meetings could he announced from the platforms. Youtz hasn't come to Chapel since cap and gown morning. We all march out in decency and in order, except the Faculty.

I believe in mind, the incarnation of greatness, the attainable wisdom, the dignity of the toga and the abiding quality of love. I believe that Drake University is on the verge of destruction owing to the gradua- tion of our class in June, and that if anything remains it will be because of what we have done and are doing. I believe in marriage and Heaven. I believe that the greatest thing in the world is love. JUNIOR. I believe that work exists, for instance, the Junior Annual. I believe in evolution-notice how we have changed since we were Freshies. I believe in the survival of the fittest, for have we not overcome all whom we have met in contest?

I believe that I know and that knowing all things worth knowing, there remains nothing for me to learn. I believe that having attained to all the dignity and greatness of Sophomore standing, I now have the prerogative of posing before the world and exclaiming: Be- hold, what genius hath produced from nothing. I believe that we are beyond the possibility of reproach or failure. I believe that the greatest thing in the world is greatness. FRESHMAN. , I believe that Prexy is Drake University and that Freeman is his assistant. I believe that I am, but what I am I know not, since the upper class man is every- thing. I fear that I am verdant and insignificant, but I have come here to become great. I believe that I shall some day become president of the United States or a Des Nfoines policeman or something. I believe that the greatest thing in the world is wisdom. Sayings of the Wise In seeking wisdom thou art wiseg in imagining thou hast attained, thou art a fool. DAVIS-Giving much finger pointed emphasis in oratory class: Gentlemen! Here is the point of the whole matter. Listen now! Heed my admonition! N ever use your forefnger in gesticulalion. It is not wisdom so to do. SMITH- 7'llf.S' is it. I dont care what others say about it. This is it. What, 164 don't you see it yet? Well, I declare! I fear that your English has been very much neglected-in early days. You will never be wise like me. DASENBROCK--iiT'h2Lt is very true. There is no royal road to learningf' I was not always as wise as now. I will tell you of my young days. Our folks were farmers, my name was John, when a boy. I was awfully tall orhlong, they called me long John for short. I once had a tall lady friend and when we would together walk the boys would say, Oh, Lord how long! You see we were very much acquainted with the Bible terms. I went with her'a short time only. I came to America still young and you see me here a-shining with the wise ones. I hope to stay with the wise. SHEPPERD-It appears to me from a point of reason zz priori, that the writer means, that real wisdom, as a state to be desired, could better be comprehended if there were a more explicit and determined consideration. I would at least say, on the surface, that all may readily grasp the problem, that the author here is most profound in his manner of discussing the applied term. I hope I have made this clear to all. You will, at least, recognize the topic before us for general discussion is wisdom. Bell souzzds for end of hour. HERRIOTT-It is no problem to me at all, being wise but I don't know a poor man. A poor man is one who is. He is because he deserves to be. There is no limit to his deserts. His being has limits. He deserves to die. He has no right to- live to be poor. l am anxious for more to be wise along these lines. CLARK-Yes. History is as old as the world. There are many kinds of history. I am a great historian. Dates and wars are my hobbies-especially wars. We have fre- quent wars. Yes, I remember all the great and notable wars of history, and am fully desirous that more may follow in my line of wisdom and even attain unto my high :standard of excellence. It is really great to be wise on historical facts. LOCKHART- '1IO delve into the dusty archives of the ancient, and to breathe the atmosphere of learned men, 4,000 years dead, is my joy and happiness in wisdom. There is no wisdom like unto this. To walk by the side and converse with Hamirabi f3,7OO B. CJ or lock arms for an early morning stroll with Assur Banapel 12,500 B. CJ and discuss the historical romance of Siglmh Pilezer or imbibe at first hand the real and vital friendship of a sympathetic mind is the highest fruits of wisdom--for wc can- not live in the future, that is denied us. We cannot even walk in the present, the way is so lonely, so we go back to the earliest days and live wholly absorbed in the life and customs of the times, completely closed to the ringing chorus of the 20th century calling lustily from strenuous lungs, Wake up, Arise, Stand DENNY--YOU can only be wise as you go. I feel that only the ancients, who are now dead, were Wise. Therefore I go with them. I-Iic-Haec-Hochl BARR-Greater wisdom has no man than this-that a man go and teach his fellow- man wisdom. I do that, therefore, I am wise. Watch me teach. KIRK--I am longing to make it known that I can show wisdom. Let us take it easy though-not too fast. - MOREHOUSE'-YES: you may figure on me every time. I can count on that my- self. I like the matter of addition the better because it not only subtracts from a man that, that he has not, but also adds to him what he will never have. To be wise is to count all the time on doing. KINNEY-SOmC day the world will preserve their thoughts and belongings, in the material that was Hrst the product of my gray matter. I know. I know, and after a few more experiments, others will also know they know.

The motive was in most instances a liking for the study of science as applied to practical use. No profes- sion is making faster progress at the present time than is medicine. Old dogmas and superstitions have been cast aside. The field for original research and investigation is unlimited. Equipment is constantly being added, entrance requirements raised, studies added to the course and instruc- tion made more thorough, thus making it possible for each class to reach a standard a little in advance of those preceding. VVe answered the roll call, twenty-six in number, in the basement laboratory of Science Hall one morning and there began the task of mastering the secrets of medical lore. We purchased several massive volumes, took a bone kindly furnished us from the anatomical department and struggled forward. Difficulties appeared in our path but these were met and overcome one at a time and many experiences, at the time trying and disagreeable appear in retrospect insignihcant or even amusing. Some early im- pressions will not soon be forgotten, for example, our first evening in the dissecting room, and some troubles with embryology and chemistry. The traditional sentiment against the medical student did not seem to be in evidence. Our days were busy ones and time passed pleasantly and rapidly. We absorbed the college spirit and Drake University had no more enthusiastic supporters in her various contests than were the lVIedics. Drawn together by a sense of common interest a strong class spirit was developed which feeling of good fellowship we strengthened by a series of social gatherings, held usually at the home of some one of our number residing in the city. So passed our Freshman year. After a summer's vacation we returned, numbers lessened but interest and enthusi- asm undiminished. The studies pursued were mainly a continuation and completion of those begun the preceding year. We gathered boldly around the altars of truth and absorbed the consignments of knowledge handed out to us in the original packages by the different instructors. Mistakes we still made but the fact that we were not now the least of those engaged in gathering unto ourselves a knowledge of medical science was a source of profound satisfaction to us. Our favorite place of rendezvous was the patho-logy laboratory and in some of the convocations held there matters of grave import were decided. Tfhe timid collegian or Freshman rash enough to invade our sacred domains often departed hurriedly without remaininglong enough to make his errand known. The approach of some hard exam. the preparation of those anatomical charts or the search for some particular elusive spores were among the troubles of those days. In the Junior year the scene changes. We are removed from the gentle inHuence of the classic suburb, University Place, and the association with the other students of the University-how lonesone they must fee'l out there now. Daily we associate with the Seniors gaining dignity and decorum thereby, hardened indeed would be that nature 169 on which such immaculate examples of propriety would exert no elevating influence. The instruction now takes on a more practical form. Lectures and dispensary work are given in the new Medical Building on Center Street. Our lecturers are the leading practitioners of the city and state, specialists in their respective branches, many of them grown old in the practice of the healing art. Mercy and lVlethodist Hospitals furnish an abundance of surgical material and the men operating before us are unsurpassed in the West. When we note the skill and technique gained by these masters of medicine and surgery through years of experience it is evident that long and painstaking effort is necessary if we would succeed. The free dispensary is gaining in popularity and proving to be of great benfit as a means of instruction. lVIore than a year mustipass before our history as a class will be complete. Yet we think it safe to predict that each member of the class of '06 will complete his school work in a manner creditable to himself and the institution that sends him forth. That each attain an unlimited success and that the Medical Department of Drake University continue to grow and prosper is our sincerest wish. Drake Medivcal Library HE STUDENTS of the two upper classes of the Medical depart- Gm ment, feeling the need of a library of medical texts and reference works, apart from the general library of the University, decided to ask the President and Faculty of the department for help in this direction. Accordingly the University volunteered to fit up the room intended for a library room at the medical building with cases and tables and to supply it with the best current medical journals-if the students would appoint a committee to solicit books from the different physicians in the city and 5.91, 'Nr' 1 . ,z .A A WV Alumni of the school. Jlllwi I 'ali X QXQA x Umff Q, lx 5 -f This committee was appointed and met with encourag- ing success in their canvass. A large number of the physi- cians of the city contributing their duplicate works on various subjects and others contributing money to purchase new texts. We now have on the shelves of our library a large, useful and very encouraging number of volumes of the texts and reference works most useful to the medical student. These are very greatly appreciated by the students as can be easily seen by the number who take advantage of them in their spare time. The committee on solicitation, of which Mr. Myers is chairman, however is still active and we hope in the near future to greatly add to the number of volumes we already possess. Mrs. Mary B. Hays has been elected Librarian and R. J. Luse her assistant. 170 ,ff-1:1 If' XVALTER N. MENDENHALI. RAYMOND J. LUSE H. DEY MYERS f-.... CHAS. NV.

D. cLmm-gf on Infectious Dinan, and Child rcn. ' Diseases! Suppose every student of Drake University and every graduate for the past five years should die in 1905. If this supposition were a fact it would not be so terrible as the facts that are public but generally unknown which now follow: Two thousand Iowansdie annually of tuberculosis. Six thousand Iowans are now suffering with tuberculosis. Two thousand will die in 19055 two thousand will die in 19065 two thousand will die in 1907. For as averages go eaclrperson dying of tuberculosis, infects four other persons, one of whom is fatallylinfected. This endless chain can be seen leading back into the ages. One out of every ten deaths the world over is due to tuberculosis. There were less than fifteen hundred deaths the world over is due to tuberculosis. There were less than fifteen hundred deaths in Iowa in 1900 from small pox, scarlet fever, c1'oup, diphtheria, appendicitis, peritonitis and typhoid fever all together, while more than two thousand Iowans died of tuberculosis. Five hundred students and teachers in Iowa now have the disease, fivethousand Iowans at wage-earning age now have tuberculosis. Two thousand are young men and women between twenty and thirty. Five thousand are below forty. Ten thousand Iowans are sacrifices to this great white plague in the first five years of this new century. A penalty for ignorance in enlightened Iowa fand in proportion of deaths from consumption Iowa stands forty-fourth when compared with other states.D Such are the lamentable and discouraging facts. We would not have the heart to point out these awful truths if there were no way to stop this dreadful loss of life. But science has taught, or is teaching those who will learn that: 1. Tuberculosis is an infectious disease due always to the presence of a definite germ the bacillus tuberculosis. 2. Tuberculosis may affect any parts of the body but most frequently the lungs. 3. These germs multiply themselves while in the diseased organ with great rapidity. 4. The sputum fspitj of consumptives contain these germs in countless thousands. 5. This germ laden sputum is the cause of the spread of tuberculosis. fVarious state and city boards of health issue bulletins no spit, no consumption. 6. This sputum can be disinfected immediatedly by any one of various anti- septics. 7. That the ngvonsumptive who properly disinfects his sputum will not infect any other person, but that any consumptive who does not disinfect his sputum may give the disease to any one coming in frequent close contact with him or with objects that he has often handled or who occupies a room where such consumptive has lived. 8. Seldom or never is tuberculosis hereditary, but the spreading of tuberculosis 172 by C0ntaCt with a consumptive or his environment who is ignorant or careless in dis- infecting sputum has been often mistakenly attributed to heredity. , 9. The bacillus tuberculosis enters the body of its victim usually through the respiratory system, though it may enter by the digestive system or through wounds elsewhere. 10. That certain environments or conditions predispose to tuberculosis, among which are: Cal Insufficient ventilation and sunlight, particularly in sleeping rooms. fbj Alchoholism Cbecause it so greatly reduces resisting powerj. Cel Insufficient food, which fails to give good rich blood. fdj Other diseases, particularly pneu- monia, typhoid fever, measles, infiuenza, whooping cough and grip. Cel Prolonged excessive fatigue or exposure or any disease or condition that decreases normal power of blood to resist disease. II. Tuberculosis is preventable. If every consumptive would destroy sputum immediately upon coughing, tl1e disease would soon exist in history only. If other people could now know that every consumptive who does not properly disinfect his sputum is a constant menace, they would avoid him and his surroundings. 12. He who keeps himself in perfect health can successfully resist infection. 13. 'Tuberculosis is not only preventable, it is curable if properly treated in the early stages. 14. Tuberculosis can be properly treated in sanitoria in almost any climate or country. It is difficult to do it in any home, but is possible in many. 15. The modern and only successful treatment consists in early diagnosis, fresh air and good food in abundance, rest, regulated exercise, proper medication, constant supervision by competent physician and trained attendants, a common sense combination of rest cure, air cure, food cure, mind cure, medicine cure that attends to thc patient in every way. 16. The most important part of the treatment is early diagnosis. 17. Any cough not giving way to usual remedies in few weeks, any loss of strength or weight, not easily otherwise accounted for, any rapid heart beat with even- ing rise of temperature should be looked upon with suspicion, and immediate examina- tion by competent physicians should be made. 18 Tuberculosis is usually slow, chronic and persistent in its course and as it progresses it consumes bodily fat and with greater or less rapidity absorbs the strength and vitality of the patient. CThis is the reason it takes months for treatment and also accounts for the heavy expense that places proper treatment almost beyond possibility for hundreds of peoplej thus necessitating a state institution. 19. More than one hundred and sixty societies and institutes in the United States and Canada are now enlightening the people on the subject of tuberculosis. The United States Government maintains two sanitoria for the treatment of its tuberculous sailors and soldiers. Many states have erected sanitoria for the treatment of its tuberculous citizens. 20. Massachusetts being the first, 'having treated more than two thousand two hundred with one thousand five hundred recoveries. Germany has over one hundred sanitoria where ten thousand patients are treated with seven thousand recoveries. C'By recovery is meant where disease is arrested, patient returns to usual weight and strength and remains so for two years or more.J 21. The last general assembly of Iowa authorized the state board of control to investigate the prevalence of tuberculosis in the state. That report tabulated with 173 extreme care by Judge L. G.

ANE means sound, healthy. Insane means the opposite of sane. But C9 ,iff it is not customary to use either word in speaking of the condition of the organs in the body. An apple or a horse may be unsound, QQ but it is not proper to say that either is insane. Insanity is the generic term for all forms of mental derangement. By usage its application is restricted to conditions of the mind only. There are various abnormal manifestations of mind, most of them transient, which are not evidences of insanity. Insanity is defined as a disease of the brain, affecting the integrity of the mind. Insanity implies a change. A person must first bk sane before he can become insane. An idiot is not insane. He has no mind to lose. An imbecile is partially endowed. The few wits he has may get mixed. Consequently, some imbeciles, who attain to adult life, may require care in an asylum on account of disorderly conduct at home or in the poor-house. Although the relations of the mind to the brain are much better understood now than ever before, still they are very complicated and very mysterious. It is not strange that formerly deranged persons were supposed to be under the sway of demons 5 having 177 lost control of themselves, to act like mad men. The insane were also called lunatics, suspecting that the moon had somehow affected their minds. Psychology is the science of the mind. Psychiatry treats of unsound conditions of the mind, it is the science of insanity. Nowadays, especially in cities, in the prac- tice of medicine and surgery, we have various kinds of specialists. Those who treat diseases of the nervous system are called neurologistsg physicians who restrict their practice to cases of mental derangement are called alienists. In the 8th chapter of Matthew, we are told that the Great Physician not only cured cases of leprosy, but also of paralysis, and of fever and of insanity. He met two maniacs, living like tramps in the country of the Gurgesenes. They were restless, talkative and wild, not too demented to understand what was going on about them, but too unreasonable to work and to behave like other folks. They were uncontroll- able, and the terror of all who knew them. They realized that they were nuisances, therefore when they saw the Master, of whom they had heard, and His followers, they requested Him to send them into a herd of swine which were feeding some distance away, themselves knowing beforehand what the animals would ' be likely to do, and when these two insane men ran towards the herd of swine, they frightened these long-legged, slab-sided, wild creatures so that the whole herd ran together pell- mell down a steep bank and were drowned in the sea. The etymological meaning of epilepsy is to attack, to seize. This nervous disease was so named because the patient having it, suddenly and unexpectedly, while in apparent health and about his business as usual, becomes unconscious and helpless, and perhaps falls to the ground or to the floor, consequently is in great danger of being thus injured unless someone else is present to assist and to take care of him. In Iowa, there is one epileptic in each six hundred of the population. In a large proportion of all the cases, the disease begins before puberty. In the institution for feeble-minded children at Glenwood, more than one-fifth of the inmates are epilep- tics, and in the four state hospitals, sixty-five epileptics are annually admitted as insane. The county institutions, in Iowa, contain nearly a hundred epileptic persons, all of whom are more than fifteen years of age. If this disease is not cured promptly, the patient is likely to experience considerable mental disturbance for a few minutes or a few hours after each convulsion, and a gradual impairment of the mental faculties. An unfortunate of this kind is quite fully described in the 9th chapter of Mark. ,Goa A Cos cage' - lseoqif . S00 1A Gge'P- P050 CO' oo' f9oO0 O 'ooo Gdg 5 QQ Og e ooo ef 06 o 178 Anatomy Anatomy is a science peculiar to itself, its study demand- ing an intimate and comprehensive method. This peculiarity does not reside inf its nomenclature which though puzzling at first, is quickly understood, but lies in the fact that though its deep rooted principles are always the same,i the surface' details are always variable. It can only be analyzed and interpreted those who are not only willing to accept its variations, but who are constantly on the lookout for the same. No two anatomical specimens are the same, but in the variations themselves, we must find a harmony. The student who fails in this has much to learn. Nlany of these variations are segemental in character, so when once in a hundred times you find the levator-anguli- scapulae, having an extra slip of origin from the mastoid process of the temporal bone in addition to its ordinary attachment to the transverse processes of the first five cervical vertebrae, you must remember that the skull itself is only a modified vertebrae and the mastoid process only a modified transverse process. Now your problem becomes easy which at first seems so intricate. This variation in its origin to a point some three inches from its common origin is only a segmental variation of one degree. A hand on which we find six fingers is but an exaggeration o-f the principle of dicrotomization. The thumb itself is a shortened and opposed finger. Homologous organs may be indcntified one with another which at first sight would be considered diametrically opposite making them easy to understand in this relation but absolutely incomprehensible in any other. The human memory is too limited to retain all the anatomical variations. But our reasoning power is good enough to figure out every one and to recognize and explain unusual ones. Each is a problem in itself and can not be remembered. But if the principle that underlies the variations is understood it is no longer necessary to remember the former. Many who hope to become anatomists store up innumerable anatomical details without attempting to classify or to understand them. They are so engrossed with the detail that they fail to get the perspective of the study. They are too near sighted to see the anatomical vista that stretches out before them. I do not mean there is no detail memory work, for there is as much as one can master. The tactile is perhaps the most valuable of all senses to surgeons. For example, if he be operating in the abdomen his fingers must recognize structures as readily as would the eye. Structures that can not be brought into our line of vision must be seen by the fingers alone. Visual and tactile memory are trained in the dissecting room and on the living subject. Now we understand why many and extensive dis- sections are necessary. The Chinese commissioner of education at the St. Louis Fair was much surprised at the number of dissections presented by certain medical schools. ln China, only one body is allowed each year and that is dissected by the instructor in front df the class. This one body is not really dissected, but opened and inspected much after the manner of one of our post mortem examinations. The study of anatomy if followed according to good methods is entertaining and easy to understand. Conversely any course that is difficult and uninteresting is not properly presented. ln other words the work in anatomy is easy and not hard. A perfunctory spirit must never enter into the work. The monotonous older methods of lectures and quizzes are being relieved by original dissections by the student and frequent demonstrations of specimens, models and dissections before the class. Again we must never forget why we are studying anatomy. Not for anatomy itself although it becomes intensely interesting and practical, so that to every true student it is always the first and most important study in his medical course, and also one that is never to be laid aside. DR. P. GAD KITTERMAN. We Modern MacLure QC: F ALL the character sketches 'set forth by Dr. Watson in his famous 9 --fx A 4' hook, The Bonnie Brier Bush, none appeal to the heart of the 0 APS' A fl ., reader more than the one which portra 75 the self-sacrificing heroism WQ' J . . 5 . . RK f of Wllllnlll lVlac Lure of Drumtochty, and it seems but fitting kills that the medical student and modern practioner should analyze this character while pondering upon the much-transgressed rules of liusfilb medical ethics. The three most commendable attributes of lliac Lure's personality were honesty, Hdelity and courage, and I ask the reader what more could be required for a well- rounded character? Pick out a physician who is honest with God and man, who is faithful in his care of poor and rich, and who has the moral courage to do or to with- hold his hand, and you will have picked a William lVIac Lure who will not call a green apple colic appendicitis, who will be faithful to his needy patients, and who will he conscious of his professional limitations. Among the numerous notable episodes in the life of this old school physician, one or two, at least, are worthy of mention. Wlien Tammas' wife was taken ill, Mac Lure realized that his lack of surgical experience precluded the possibility of his per- forming a successful operation, so his moral courage caused him to pocket his personal feelings and send for the surgeon who was best qualified to do the work. Was this courage or lack of it? I leave the reader to judge. When the surgeon came, and the swollen river was reached, thenwhose courage failed, William lwac Lure's? No. Straight through the swirling tide he drove his faithful old horse, even though the surgeon at his side plead with him to turn back, and as a result of his courageous determination a woman's life was saved. Which ww the greater hero, he who held the knife or he whose thoughts were on the welfare of his patient? Are the virtues of William Mac Lure dead? Are all the physicians of today mercenary and grasping? No, not so. This is an age of even greater heroism. The Mac Lure of today is not the society physician, though he is not uncouth and gruff of speech, He is not the man who talks longest and loudest at the medical meetings and gets his name in the paper. He is not the man who is called out of church and the opera house. But he is the man who does not let the sun go down upon a duty undone which he was able to performg who does not harm his professional brother intentionally, by word or deedg who does not scoff at the power of the Great Physi- cian, even though his face may be seldom seen at church, and who has the interests of his patients at heart, even though they may require him to swallow his pride and turn the case over to another physician who has had more experiencein this particular type of disease than he. In closing, the writer wishes to say that even in this progressive age, honest, con- scientious physicians are at a premium. DR. FRANK A.

For various reasons some dropped from our ranks term by term, but little did we dream on going to our various homes for our summer vacation that the hand of death was so soon to snatch a loved class mate from our number. Witll great sorrow we heard of the untimely end of our friend and fellow-student who had been our close associate in class room work for two years. l,oweryl' as we all called him had a large generous heart which won him a host of friends in University Place where his home had been for the last six years. He had a bright, keen intellect and a retentive memory, qualifications so necessary for the study of medicine. As a student he ranked among the best in his class. 'lihere will ever linger in our memory the picture of his bright cheerful face, associated with a regret that a promising life should be ended so soon. -H, D.

The divine fitness of things was never proved more conclusively than by the Law class of 1906. For years the Iowa College of Law had been in sore need of a new home of its own where God's pure ai1' and sunshine would dare to penetrate further than the dirty, dingy windows. lfach year there were rumors, and false alarms of a new building. But the time had not yet arrived. As each succeeding Fresman class entered the school it im- mediately becanie the despair of the professors. It is said the Faculty even had thoughts of abandoning the school unless before long some brains were discovered in the student-body, fthe Faculty were not questionedj. Law appeared to be destined to become numbered among the lost arts unless something radical should happen. At last when the gloom and despair were the thickest the present Junior class enrolled. At the very first recitation in Blackstone a lad from lklissouri chewed off the first learned by heart and gave it word for word. The professor fainted for joy. Soon the news was spread about that at last a class had entered school worthy to ltave a new building. Straightway Judge Cole and Governor Drake raised the funds, and before another class had enrolled we moved for from the maddening throng and the scenes of riots and brawls of the other classes, and were housed in our present beautiful quarters. Of our class history there is but little to mention which is not already notorious and recorded in the Presidentls oilice. Noted for individual modesty, and unassuming dignity, we studiously pursued the even tenor of high morals and hard, paths of law outlined by the Faculty. Each professor told us on the quiet that we were the most brilliant bunch of savages they had ever run into their reservation, and it was noticeable that when they called our named at roll call it was in the hushed tones with which one speaks of the Great. They realized that there were future judges and even one chance in a thousand of a future justice of the peace being in our midst. Early in the year as a class we passed resolutions forbidding the use by class members of tobacco in any form or intoxicating liquors without form. lt was deemed needless to mention profain language and poker in connection with this injunction. How we have kept this resolution is only too well known. It is with joy that we recall the utter absence of ungentlemanly conduct in the classroom in the form of breaking furniture, sculfling, or aiding or abetting in a rough house. The honor system was used in examinations and if any one did othe1' than he should while undergoing one of the ordeals, it has never leaked out, which presents another virtue. As a class we never loitered about the halls, but instead, always made a shoot for the stairs unless the f'prof was H-lohnny on the spot. And when, in our efforts to clear the stairway of its congestion of retreating students, we were cornered by the delayed instructor, who seems to make it a point to wait until we had donned all our winter raiment, and then encounter us just as we were about to emerge into freedom, with what joy in our hearts did we return to our hand-dec- orated hall of learning and while away fifty minutes more. We never expectorated 188 on the class room floor but used the windows instead, nor did we seek retribution when some irate passerby below, who unkindly placed himself in line with the descending dew, loaded with tobacco, responded to this informal hale of good fellowship by slamming a brick through our smoked-glass porthole. At the end of each week the various members of the Faculty distributed reward of merit cards, and also tokens to a good boyf' Altogether, with many fond recollections of the good times spent in the old rookery it was with a sense of feeling of gladness that we forsook its battle-scarred walls for our present abode. Such a radical change as was forced upon us this year--new building, presence of females and steam heat--actual heat, not the old imaginary Sort,-at first caused the Juniors to move about in an uneasy and timid manner. But the addition to our ranks of a number of Blackstone artists from Highland Park and the ever present feel- ing of our importance soon regained for us our easy bearing and class self-confidence. Now it is easy to be good as we are far removed from the baleful influence of Foley'sl' and The College Inn. We have so far refrained from chastising that mob of Weil meaning but deluded barbarians otherwise known as Freshmen, trusting that Provi- dence and Dean Cole will generously administer to their needs. As for the Seniors, we try to assume that feeling of respect and awe usually due this alleged learned body, but alas! the attempted propogation of whiskers by this finished product only covers up a small fraction of their minus qualities. As a class we are noted for our punctuality. On numerous occasions the janitor has been awaked from his slumbers by the suffering groans of the Juniors who have congregated about the Law building entrance long before class hours in order to be on time to Professor Daleis classes. Only once in our class history did any appearances of a ufillln appear and this trouble was soon settled by the suggestion of drastic measuresi' and more worki' in the lVIain building. As the days roll by our eyes- are directed toward next year-our last in dear old Drake. New and added dignfties will then be ours but there is no doubt of our ability to grasp the banners of fame always sustained by the school and carry them even higher than before. The college ideals are deeply implanted in the heart of every Junior. And as the years roll by our professors may turn to our records and with a sense of gratification feel that after all their work was not in vain. And in conclusion I propose--Here's to the class of '06, the most loyal, most jolly, most earnest and most promising that ever cussed Blackstone. HARRY E. CORBET. 189 Iimvmm B. EVANS, LL. M.

Taylor was a most happy one, is amply attested by the general national attention which it attracted to itself. Bringing into the public eye as it did, one of the most unfortunate . and deplorable events in American political history, it could not help but be of great interest to those outside the state. But to those in the state, and more especially to the students of the University, the conduction of the trial was a source of unqualified gratificationg not that the proceedings of this trial were in any way unusual or prepared as a sort of annual showing offf' but sim- ply from the fact that this happened to be one of the occasions when the general public was invited to attend the session of the Practice Court of the Drake University College of Law. livery trial held in the court is subjected to the same rules as prevailed in the Taylor case.

The trial was long and arduous and toilthe whole school in general, and to the Senior class and counsel in particular, all credit is duelfor having participated in and having conducted the greatest trial in the history of the court, and we doubt if it is exaggerating at all to say that it was the most notable mock trial ever held.

Dedication of the Law Building T' 75' FTER spending the first twenty-nine years of its existence, dating K from its founding in 1875 by Judge Cole in various temporary W m quarters the College of Law was at the beginning of the school year installed in its permanent home in the new Law building on the University Campus. This important event in the history of the school was fittingly commemorated by a formal dedication on the fifteenth day of November, 1904, in which the Faculty and students of the College of Law and of the University, and the Polk County Bar Association participated. At 2:30 in the afternoon a program was rendered in Cole Hall by the College of Law in which addresses were delivered by lVIr. Hubert Utterback in behalf of the Freshman classy Mr. Thomas F. Shea of the Junior classg Mr. Thomas E. Kirby of the Senior class and Prof. E. B. Evans of the Faculty. After these exercises the Law Faculty and students tendered a reception to the other departments and friends of the 0 f. f 5-'JZSLJXA University. Each class had been assigned a class room for the purpose of this and the reception to the Bar Association and the Alumni and each of these rooms had been tastefully decorated with the class colors. In Room 2 the Seniors were hosts and had produced an artistic effect with their decorations of purple and white. The Juniors met their friends in Room 6, in which the colors were purple and yellow. Room No. 5 in which the Freshmen were at home had been converted into a parlor for the occasion and was profusely decorated with pictures and ornaments and the class colors, red and black. At 6:30 the Law Faculty and students gave a reception to the members of the Polk County Bar Association and the Alumni of the Law College. Both receptions were well attended and all were impressed with the hospitality 200 of the Law department and with the added advantages for its work which the new building, with its equipment, affords. The final exercises were held about eight o'clock in the University Auditorium when addresses were delivered by W. H. Bailey, President of the Polk County Bar Associationg Judge C. C. Cole, Dean of the College of Lawg Hill M. Bell, President of Drake University, and Judge H. E. Deemer, Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of the State the building.

This is its fundamental characteristic. The heavenly vision to which its founders were true was a vision of equipped heralds of the cross of Christ. They saw men and women of intellectual and spiritual power filling places of need in this and every land. To this same vision t-he present manage- ment is splendidly loyal. The face of the Nlaster is never obscured. His commanding presence is felt by the matriculates in every department. All students defer in honor to the University's ruggcdly true President, as he says from the Chapel platform, We want it understood that Drake University stands for the religion of Jesus Christ. Back of this spirit of devotion to God there has stood through the years the College of the Bible. It emphasizes today, as ever, the dignity and beauty of the ministry of the Word. From it have gone students who are now numbered among the faithful and efficient toilers in many lands. The 'honor roll of the past contains the names of more than one foreign missionary for every year of Drake University's history, while scores of preachers of the gospel and other Christian workers have been sent forth to Helds in the homeland. Drake's Bible department, too, stands for the positive and constructive in Christian teaching. Its graduates are not men of uncertain voice. They stand for the Book of God and the Christ of the Scriptures. With eyes open to the problems of their day they still believe that the foolishness of God is greater than the wisdom of men and in their undisturbed faith in the eternal verities they are not perplexed by the intellectual gymnastics of the worldly wise. nor fascinated by a line of study, which, by confession of one of its devotees, has shaken the belief of some in the fundamentals of religion, distracted others from the zealous service of God, and benumbed the preaching of Christ's gospel. Our splendid Bible Faculty, alert in its reverent scholarship stands For the Christ of Galilee, For the right against the wrong, For the truth that makes men free, For the weak against the strong, For the bond of unity Which makes God's children one. For the love which shines in deeds, For For the poor who've waited long For the brighter age to be. the faith against tradition, For the life which this world needs, For the truth 'gainst superstition, For the church whose triumph speeds For the hope whose glad fruition The prayer, Thy will be done. Our waiting eyes shall see. For the city God is rearing, For the New Earth now appearing, For the heaven above us clearing, And the song of victory. 206 CHAS. S.

Barons Arran 208 RESIDENCE OF DEAN HAGGARD ...NX ----,,.-.nr ' ?,T,2' 1 RESIDENCE OF DR. LOCKHART Our Student Preachers 'The readers of the Quax are probably asking about three questions concerning our young preachers. I will state these questions and attempt to answer them. Where do our young men come from ? They come from almost all parts of our land. For the term which has just closed we have had about one hundred sixteen in attendance upon the College of the Bible. These come from nineteen different states. We have representatives from New York and from Californiag from Alabama, Wash- 'ington and Oregon, from North Carolina and Michigang from Arkansas and Minne- sotag Kentucky, Indiana and Illinois, Wisconsin, Kansas and Colorado, Texas and South Dakota. Iowa furnishes forty-five and Missouri comes next with nearly twenty, and we also have a number of students from beyond the borders of our own land. Nova Scotia and Canada are represented by three studentsg Germany furnishes us oneg Japan one and Australia two. We may answer the first question then by saying that our young preachers come from the Christian homes of many lands. What are these men doing? This second question is more interesting than the former. Generally speaking they are carrying two lines of study. One in general education and the other in Biblical lines. It is not too much to say that they are pre- paring themselves for positions in the front ranks of the ministry of the disciples of Christ. More specifically I may say they are preaching regularly for about fifty-two different congregations in Iowa and Missouri. Within a radius of a hundred miles from Des Moines are forty Iowa counties and a few in Missouri. Twenty-four Iowa counties furnish from one to seven preaching points each. These counties at present are as follows: Adams and Appanooseg Cass and Calhoun, Dallas and Delawareg Green and Guthrieg Jasper and Jeffersong Keokuk and Lucas: Madison, Marion and Mahaskag Polk and Pocahontas, Ringgold and Taylor, Union and Wayne. The last question is probably as follows: What are the annual results in these fifty-two congregations ? In answer we can say that hardly a year passes in which one or more new buildings are not built and in which old houses are not repaired. Fre- quently new congregations are organized, and new Sunday schools or C. W. B. M. Auxilaries, or Young Peoples Societies of Christian Endeavor. The number of addi- tions to the churches amounts to hundreds, every week confessions and baptisms are reported. Church debts are cut down and missionary funds raised and forwarded to headquarters. Hundreds of pastoral calls are made and subscriptions for our papers are taken by the score. Often times libraries are established and much philanthropic work is done. Only the books of God can fully presentlthe good done. ALFRED M.

In fact Dean Howard, through his experience in traveling and his study, arranged the Conservatory to help the student and instructor. From the Conservatory we have a Glee Club made of an aggregation of boys that are musical and the boys are popular among the student-body on account of their entertainment. We must say a word of the chorus of 125 voices made up principally of Conserva- tory students. This chorus is trained by Dean Howard and furnishes the music for the University Church. Pictures are shown in this Annual also of the four musical attractions which leave the following season under the direction of the Midland Lyceum Bureau. But children should be seen and not heard.

Each Junior Normal invited a friend and the result was one of the best looking crowds to be found anywhere. Fine eatin's were provided and thoroughly enjoyed. The evening was pleasurably spent in playing games and singing songs. All present agreed that the Junior Normals were the Ubest ever and certainly knew how to have a good time. The Junior Normal class has special reasons to congratulate itself upon having the best class mother that any class in the University has ever had. Mrs. Seevers is all that a class mother should be-deeply interested in her children and always pleased to show them the path in which they should go. She has been present at all the class meetings and is ever ready to offer her services. NVith such a class mother, the class must of necessity be the best in the Normal depart- ment of the University. Love is blind, the saying goes, It's truth each Junior Normal knows, For two names by them were plainly seen, Right on the board with space between, And Kinzer said, There's just one name, Surely his optics were to blame. -E. B. H. PROF. BELL-Have you the required number of words in your theme? MISS DUNBAR-YCS, but I made most of them up. We wonder Why Miss Nystrom enjoys teaching her algebra class. PROP.

' r l , .Q and of instruction ll1I11'I1CI' SCl1001S E DRAKE UNIVERSITY Summer School had its origin fifteen years ago, in an effort put forth by some of the Faculty in behalf of students who wished to make up work for advanced standing in college and academy classes, and in behalf of teachers wishing to review various subjects. The work was at first principally in the nature of reviews in the grade and the high school branches, in general methods. With the increasing demand for college and academy credits various teachers began to offer such subjects. As a result several summer schools were in existence independent the one from another. Regular uni- versity students and students from a distance were in attendance. Of these schools the Summer School of lVIethods was the largest and most important, its Faculty com- posed of a number of teachers. During recent years the names of prominent educators from other states have appeared upon the roll of the Faculty. The Summer Schools of Latin, Mathematics Greek, Zoology, Chemistry, etc., were independent of the School of Nlethods. As the numbers in attendance increased and the practicability of such work was made evident, it became apparent that it would be better to combine all the schools under one management, instead of having them under several. This was effected two years ago, through the efforts of President Bell. With the change in the management of the schools, came a change in the name from the Summer School of Methods, to the Drake University Summer School. The change in name does not imply that less attention is now given to what is called methods Fully as good provision is made for methods as formerly, but so much academic work is now given, that the old name has become a misnomer. With the exception of a few years, the Principal of the Normal College of the University has been director of the school. Prof. C. W. Martindale was director from its organization in 1890 until 1896, when Professor Crusinberry acted as director for one year. Professor Martindale then resumed the work during the year 1897. At the reorganization of the school in 1898, President Bell, then Principal of the Normal College, was appointed director, and Professor Ross associate manager. The duties of the Presidency of the University being so many, President Bell resigned from the directorship of the summer school in 1903, and Professor Barr, Principal of the Academy, was appointed to the position, with Professor Ross continuing as associate manager. Since its organization, the policy of the school has been conservative, there being no attempt in the methods work to exploit the prevailing fads in education, but rather to accord them their true pedagogical place. The attempt has always been made to give the students in attendance the work best fitted to their needs. A steady and healthy growth has kept pace with the age of the school, so that for the past several years it has been one of the largest in the state. Last year the attendance was the largest of any summer school in the west. For the year 1905 the Faculty numbers thirty-five instructors and assistants, and the various subjects offered number seventy-five. The work in the past years has been successful, the managers are fully determined upon supplying the needs of all in attendance by the thoroughness and efficiency of the work offered. Certainly, there is no place in Iowa where more satisfactory conditions exist for a prosperous summer school than at Drake University. The buildings are well arranged for comfort, the campus is one of the most beautiful spots in the state. The city of Des Moiiies, with its various industries, including coal mines and factories, with its splendid street car service, and its parks, and with the various public buildings, espe- cially the Historical Building, the City Library, and tlIe State Capitol, and with its new Army Post affords to the student spending a few weeks here, a liberal education aside from tl1e class room work.

We are a jolly set of tooth pullers although out- numbered by both our upper and lower class-men, we have stepped from the different walks of life in an attempt to bet- ter ourselves, and gain the degree of D. D. S. C.. Fresh, though we were a class of Seven, being cornered around by our upper classes, and looked upon as a bunch of Know-nothings. At first we battled our way through many a slump and fog, Cscent from the chop house belowl. We now stand and celebrate our anniversary, from which we de- serve to be called a Junior. After having spent our first year in great distress, of having to take a course of four years of six months each, the requirement having taken place the spring before our entrance, we were happily surprised on re- turning this year by the required course having been reduced to 3 years of 8 months each, condensing our course into a shorter length of time to the joy of alllconcerned. We were made happy still more by obtaining new quarters this year, which are in the new Colonial building on the 3rd floor, being in the main business district, which af- fords us great opportunities for chemical work, and where we can participate in the loc store sales below. We have well equipped laboratories and lecture rooms, well lighted and ventilated, which is really a true heaven from our Cchop house jointl old quarters on Fourth street. For this we all extend our thanks and best wishes to the new board of trustees, who have taken charge of our department during the past summer. Our Clinic room has several new additions, a purchase of five new operating chairs and stands for each chair, which enables the students to care for more patients, who formerly had to waitvfor a vacant chair, we also have a private extracting room, a reception room for patients, which is supplied with plenty of magazines and reading matter. We feel now that we stand as one of the best Dental Schools in the west, and one of the best equipped departments of Drake University. The faculty being picked from the best of physicians andfldentists of the city, and we sincerely and surely hope that the Des Moines Dental College will arise and surpass many others in a few years to come. A good Clinic has been obtained this year and is steadily increasing, more than ever before, and'we feel sure that all work has been satisfactory and has been appreciated by all patients as well. We are now wending and watching our way fon the near future, which at first falthough we were determinedj seemed afar off to be a Senior. Our Seniorfyear will be taken up mostly with Clinic fwhile now we are Hunks for some Senior.j So with an abundance of Clinic, and a small class, our experienceshould be greater than all our preceding classes, thence stepping into a newilife, nothing but success is looked upon, and may we live in peace and harmony when we bid! adieu.

S, ROSS, M, S Professor of Chemistry P armacy The development of the American drug trade shows a wonderful growth and a notable progress of specialization, for a century ago a large part of the wholesale druggists' stock consisted of glassware oils paints putty, indigo and madder, where as new it is confined to true drugs or medi- cines to an increasingly large degree. lt has increased to the extent that the price list of a prominent jobbing house shows 5,700 articles in the department of drugs, chemicals and oils, and 7,600 articles in the department of patent or proprietary medicines. The above article shows that a true pharmacist must be acquainted with all these preparations, compositions, actions, etc., and to be a true pharmacist a person must go to some college of pharmacy where he can obtain all that pertains to pharmacy. The Drake University College of Pharmacy is the best pharmacy school in the state of Iowa, doing more work than the State University College of Pharmacy, upon whose catalogue of 1897-98, the state law for graduate pharmacists is based. Graduates from the school are registered in almost every state from Michigan to California, all passing the state examinations with confidence of certificates and one from the class of 1904 set a new mark of 98-l-'74, before the Colorado state board last year. The class graduating this year is the most evenly balanced class which has ever been graduated. They are the first to graduate under the two-year course and have mastered more pharmacy, both practical and theoretical than any class graduating before them. The Iuniorlclass, although not as large as the Senior, is increasing in numbers and doing fine work. They will cover practically the same course that has been covered by the Seniors. The department has the most competent instructors that can be obtained, all having quite a number of years of experience in his particular line of teaching. Success to the Pharmacy department and Drake. 248 -14 PHARMACY CLASS Traits WATTS-KKHIS head is red. But in it lay Enough of brains To pave his way.

Givens was in charge of the Business Department of the Oskaloosa College, and came to Des Moines as the first Prin- V cipal of the Commercial Department of Drake University. Before the opening of the first term, however, he had consolidated with Mr. B. VV. Bowen, of Bowen's Business College which was located in the city. VVhen the first term com- menced, September 20, 1881, Drake Uni-versity Business College had two rooms for the accommodation of its students, one at No. 421 Walnut Street, and the other, a commodious and well furnished room in the University Building, with B. VV. Bowen and M. P. Givens as the respective Principals. This consolidation was discontinued at the end of one year. In 1883, Henry D. McAneney, a bright young Catholic, came to assist Professor Givens in the Commercial Department and study in the Liberal Arts Course. He was a strong man and in 1886 became head of the department. Professor Givens moved to Denver after he had severed his connection with the University and embarked in the real estate business. He is now located in Denver although in the meantime he has been engaged in business at Lincoln, Neb., and also at Minneapolis. In 1892, Professor lVIcAneney went west and took charge of the work of raising a fund to establish a Chair of the Bible in the State University of California. He joined the Disciples Church during his school work at the University and is now located in I California. Mr. Angus lNIcKinnon, an energetic young man who had graduated from the Lib- eral Arts Course, succeeded Professor McAneney. He was prosperous in the beginning of his administration, but later, outside matters claimed his attention and he gave up the work in 1898. There was some thought of discontinuing the department after his ad- ministration, but it was finally decided to continue it as before and Thomas W. DeHaven was chosen as the successor of Professor McKinnon. Professor DeHaven was in charge of the department for three years, but being sub- ject to throat trouble to such an extent that he was unable to attend his classes regu- larly, he was accordingly succeeded by Prof. C. D. lllcGregor in 1901. Professor lVIcGregor was a very strong man and soon built up the department to double its former size. Being a very popular man, the University keenly felt the loss when in 1904 he accepted a position as Principal of the School of Commerce of the State University of Wyoming. F. J. lldeier in charge of the department at present, was chosen as Professor McGregor's successor. The Department now occupies the entire second Hoor of the Auditorium, erected in 1899. Its rooms are considered the most pleasant and commodious of any in the University. Our object is to qualify persons of all ages, in the best manner, to fill positions as accountants and clerks, and to manage their own affairs with intelligence and skill, whatever may be their future occupation. We teach our students that they must have a higher ambition than to be merely a bookkeeper or a stenographerg as such qualifications are only starters in a business career. We teach them that they must fill their first position to overflowing before they are entitled to the next higher, that they must make their services worth more than they are getting for them, that there is no substantial success without work, and that to suc- ceed they must overcome all obstacles between them and the desired position in life.

Stranger yet, did she feel, when upon entering it and re- moving her wraps, she was confronted with numerous shawl- ! i 5 enwrapped women asking if their children must be vaccinated, if they were the proper age for kindergarten ,and so on, when she herself knew not the first thing about any of it. Being thus forced to feel her importance and position, she was enjoying herself heartily and was quite willing to objectify herself in whatever deed fell to her lot, when the director asked' her to aid the assistant in labeling the boxes. The assistant would look wiselyinto a box, then write a mysterious l'arq. or LI, Slats on the outside. On being questioned she would explain that the former was used in the occupation work, and that the latter was a gift. What in the world was occupation work and a gift! The Freshman began to think her knowledge of the English language very limited. In the course of time she heard the word psychosis so commonly used, and found herself in so many embarassing circumstances when other kindergartners used it in di- rect conversation with her, that she determined to flee to the aid of Noah VVebster. But to her dismay even he knew nothing about it. One happy day, however, the poor be- nighted Freshman came in contact with Professor Phillips and the mysteries of life have been clearing up ever since. Before her first days as a kindergartner she had a rather high estimation of her previous education. But soon she discovered of what small value Latin was in keeping Peter McQuin from reclining bodily upon the table, or how useless was her astronomy in preventing brown-eyed Delia from turning back summersets, periodically, out of her chair. Now her Freshman year is nearly over. One of the loveliest years of her life it has been, and she is as thankful that the D. K. T. S. has taken her under its wing as is any mighty Senior or venerable alumnus. 'LII' 6I11OI'S Miss Sanders, so sweet and still as a mouse, ' Had a sore throat, and she staid in the house. lVIiss Preston has finished and had a good mark, And now she is teaching in Capital Park. Hurrah for Miss Carleton, we'll sing her a songg For perhaps the dear girl will leave us ere long. . Here's to bliss Rowe and McCracken, the dears, Who complete their training in one-not two-years. But what shall we do when Miss Thompson is gone! For Knowledge goes with her, as light with the sun. Ah! here's Miss Gillette, again late to school, Now surely she knows that's against the rule. Oh! here's to Miss Haxton, the bonny young lass, On a Mountain's side leaning, whenever We pass. KINDERGARTEX TRAINING CLASS We Training School for Supervisors of Public SCTIOOT Music MRS. MARGARET LOVEJOY-WEBER. HE aim of the school is to prepare competent and painstaking music supervisors to supply the strong demand for that class of teachers psf in the public schools of our towns and cities. That the University is situated most favorably for the maintenance of such a school has been well demonstrated. It is the purpose to make this the best school of its kind in the state. In addition to a thorough course in all phases of the subject of public school music, a year in voice, piano and harmony must be taken with the faculty of the College of Miisic, unless the Supervisor is fully satisfied as to the student's proficiency in these lines. The teacher at the head of the Training Department for Supervisors of Public School lVIusic at Drake University, has made large and exceptional preparation for her work. She is a natural teacher and thoroughly understands and applies correct peda- gogic principles to her work. She easily ranks with the very best musical supervisors in this country. With such an instructor at the head of this department, we feel justi- fied in urging all who desire this kind of training to place themselves under lVIrs. Weherls special instruction. COURSE OF INSTRUCTION. The course of instructio-n includes Technical Instruction, Sight Reading, Ear Training, Examination and Care of the Child Voice, Interpretation of Song, Art of Conducting, Methods of Presentation, Round Table Discussions, Practice Teaching, Duties of Supervisors, etc. The class of 1904-O5 is proving itself to he a capable and talented class. Each member is ambitious, conscientious and industrious. Practice teachers from this class are chosen to he teachers of music for the Kin- dergarten, Primary and Normal Departments of Drake University and the Chesterfield schools. - Classes of children convene each Saturday in the harmony room of the Conserva- tory for ideal lessons in music and for illustration of methods promulgated by Mrs. Weber, the director of this department. A large per cent of all students graduating from this school have secured splendid positions and are making a great success of their work. 260 MUSIC SUPERVISORS' TRAINING CLASS J Mem , Advertisement E BELIEVE in our ad- vertisers and recommend 5:5 them to you.
