In 1858 he moved to Michigan, where he has since resided. Graduating from Union College in 1858, he received the degree of A. B. and in 1863 he was granted the degree of A. M. from the same institution. His entire life has been given over to the services of the schools, and with the exception of a short period his work has been done in this state. - Upon coming to Michigan, he became principal of the Grand Rapids high school, which position he held with such marked success that after the expiration of fourteen years he was made superintendent of the the city schools of Grand Rapids. where he remained for eleven years. He then returned to his native state and for two years was professor of Natural Sciences in the New York State Normal School. In 1885 he became professor of Physical Ssiences in the Michigan State Normal School, which position he now holds and has held since that time. Professor Strong has always shown a deep interest in the affairs of education outside of the school room. He has been a student of educational problems and in this capacity has exerted no small amount of infiuence on the schools themselves. As a member of various educational associations, he has at different times served them in an official Way. He has been president of the Kent Scientific Institute of Grand Rapids, and for eighteen years was the curator of the museum. I-Ie has also been honored with the presidency of the Michigan State Teachers' Associationg of the Michigan School Masters, Clubg and of the Michigan Association of High School Principalsg for three terms he was vice-president of the National Educational Association and was one of the delegates to the London International Educational Conference of 1884. This has enabled him to come in touch with the best thought of the age and has given him that broad educational culture which has always characterized his teaching. While he has always been devoted to the work of teaching and has studied the great problems of education as such, yet outside of these there have been several lines of work and numerous interests that have attracted him. During his college course and supplementary to it, an interest in the study of Silurian and Devonian geology was aroused by illustrated lectures given by James Hall and Prof. Taylor. He thus became a student and collector and for ten summers explored all accessible outcrops of rocks along the lakes of central New York. As a result he wrote a complete description of the fossil remains in the Lower Carboniferous Strata of that region. As a student of Archaeology, his interests were confined to actual exploration, under the direction of the Kent Scientific Institute, of the Indian Mounds of Grand River Valley. To this work he devoted four summers and made voluminous reports, which, however, have never been published. A large collection of copper implements was thus obtained which in transit to the Philadelphia Exposition in 1876 was unfortunately lost. From boyhood Professor Strong has been a student of polarization in optics, both on the theoretical and practical sides. This interest was aroused by courses of lectures given in the historical school house among the hills of central New York from '44 to '50 by a Mr. Chubbuck, a brother of Fanny Forester, and E. L. You- mans, afterward founder of the Popular Science Monthly. Both of these gentlemen had polarizing microscopes and taught how to prepare slides. As leisure hours permitted, for many years, he has made numerous and reliable rock sections in connection with his other researches and studies. His attention has by no means been confined to scientific lines, but his interests have been shown equally in literature and art. As a student and critic in literature he has but few equals. One may converse with him upon any of the great masterpieces of the past or on the more recent productions and feel that he is listening to an expert who has devoted his life to this study. This is none the less true of him in his interests in art, particularly in paint- ing and architecture. These interests were likewise aroused by courses of lectures given by a college professor, and have been continued through study and travel, both at home and abroad. Having visited many of world's famous galleries, he was enabled to do a large service as a member of the art committee appointed to select the subjects in the college collection of reproductions. Professor Strong has always been a man standing for the best citizenship and has ever exerted his efforts in favor of good local government. As a member of Business Men's Associations, Good Government Leagues and Temperance Leagues, he has stood for principle, and in this wav he has exerted an iniiuence that has been felt not only in the school but in the community, as well as in the state at large. Thus we see a man of strong character with a keen insight into the affairs of life, of broad scholarship and with large and varied interests beyond his special subject. He possesses the true spirit of the teacher. The student feels, as he leaves his class room, that he has obtained more than mere scienceg he realizes that the stamp of manhood has been impressed upon his character 5 that he has been influenced by the life of a cultured man, and that the inspiration for greater interests, more valuable service to others, and a desire for the best things of life, have unconsciously come into his being. f ' In 1 , , V 3, , .-1 . . .. 5. 33: K ' ,eg 2, 11, mv, Y . ,im .M ,Y ,-,Stk fffiialgf ? ,Q-wal ., mf-,..b,,, .li Q frrgaf..-::m-' is A ,V ...., v f .,,y.,Lf V , W fx'-XX. sem W 1 J I J 1 u Q 12 V 5 il!! -1 ,O 2' lfljj-315, 1 'adj 5 2 il 5 , 233142 71' rv M I ' 3 ' IEP--Q Fiiii i . 1 , ,, ll l,m3lVf:-'iaf ilrfmie2fLlif .I L v H cm A I-.

Zllbett Ieonatb HE GROWTH in educational interests in Michigan finds nowhere a more steady and satisfactory expres- sion than in the development of the Normal Schools. The Michigan State Normal School at Ypsi- lanti becoming inadequate to the larger demands put upon it, was advanced to the rank of a college for the conferring of degrees, and was supplemented by the two Normal Schools at Mt. Pleasant and Marquette. To further the interests of the three institutions, the State Board of Education devised the plan of uniting them into one Normal School System under one Executive, and to this office they elected Dr. Albert Leonard. This brief and simple statement best expresses the qualifications that were sought in the man who was to fill the position thus created by the Board. Albert Leonard, A. B., Ohio Univ., 1888, and Ph. D., Hamilton College, 1894, was born and educated in Ohio, having taken a course in the Ohio Central Normal Scllool before entering on his university work. He afterwards held the principalship in the public schools of New Holland, whence he was elected to a similar position at Dunkirk, N. Y., which he left for better work as High School principal at Binghampton, N. Y., leaving this for further advancement in 1897, when he was made Dean of the College of Liberal Arts in the Syracuse University, with the Chair of Pedagogy. Here again he was sought out by the Michigan Board of Education in their quest for a man and an educator to assume the office of President of the Michigan State Normal School System in 1900. Dr. Leonard early added journalism to his other work, establishing the Journal of Pedagogy, now in its thirteenth year of publication The Journal early took a place among the leading pedagogical periodicals of the country. It is always pleasant to read a man's own ideals in his public utterances, and in a recent paper read before the Michigan Schoolmaster's Club are found these fitting words with which to close this brief and inadequate sketch: Education is openness and flexibility of mind, justness of voice, candor, reasonableness and freedom from prejudice. In spite of the fact that the word czflfnre is often received with an easy sneer in certain academic circles even, there is no better term to designate the chief purpose of the whole educational process than the word which Matthew Arnold has defined for all time as 'the pursuit of our own total perfection by means of getting to know on all matters that concern us, the best which has been thought and said in the worldf , Gribute to llbrofessor ihgman LEILA P. BEST USTOM demands of us that we extend words of appreciation and thanks to those who have completed the larger part of their life's work. How much better that these words be given to our friends while they are in active service with us. So it is our purpose to express to Professor Lyman the gratitude and love in the hearts of the students of the Michigan State Normal College. The first year We are here our attitude toward Mr. Lyman is that of great respect, as time passes and We come into closer intercourse with him we ind him not only our honored, but also our loved and trusted friend. I What better can we say of any man? Let those of us who are Hnishing our work assure those who are to fol- low that as teacher and friend, he loves and sympathizes, he enters into the fears and hopes, into the difficulties and perplexities, and into the brighter prospects and anticipations of his students. No shirk finds a place of ease in Professor Lyman's class, but help and encouragment are always given to the student who bears witness of an earnest purpose and an honest heart. A passing remark made by one of our teachers was this:- Mr. Lyman is pure gold , and from it we can interpret the high esteem in which our Principal is held in the College. Mr. Lyman was born in Vermont, but spent the greater part of his boyhood on a farm in Indiana. He was graduated from the University of Michigan in 1886 and coming back as t: acher in 1890 he remained there for eight years. He came to the Normal in the fall of 1898, and it is our warmest hope that he may remain for many years to come in his present relation to the Michigan State Normal College. z - , - ,.e.., Y 2,1 yjv , , , L' 'rv , .,. . .4f,.g-1.

During the whole history of the Normal School from its opening in 1853 until the time of his death, Mr. Sill has been a most earnest friend and supporter of the institution. Entering the school at the very beginning of its existence, he was one of the three who constituted the hrst graduating class in l854. In the first published list of teachers in the school his name appears as teacher of English grammar and elocution. For nine years he was professor of English language and literature and for seven years principal of the school. Besides his service in the Normal Mr. Sill's teaching Work consisted of one term in a district school, ten years at the head of the Detroit Female Seminary, and thirteen years as superintendent of the Detroit public schools. Thus for over forty years he Was actively engaged in some of the most responsible positions in Michigan's educational Work, and during that time he exerted a strong and healthful influence not only upon the lives of his pupils but upon the whole pedagogical life and thought of the state. The secret of Mr. Sill's success seemed to lie in a splendid enthusiasm, a great amount of tact, and a readiness for hard work, all based upon a natural aptitude for his work, strongly fortihed by the best preparation he could command, constantly reinforced through keeping abreast with what was best in educational thought. He was an excellent executive, carrying forward his plans in a quiet unostentatous way. He heralded his ideas With no blare of trumpet. He seldom told what he would do. The first personal pronoun had little place in his vocabulary. Yet he succeeded Where others would have failed. He knew how to place ideas before men so that they would adopt them believing them to be their own. He knew where to insist and Where to yield, and when to return to the attack and accomplish his purpose. 'With such qualities based upon the sterling integrity which Mr. Sill possessed, his life could not be other than a powerful influence for good. In this light he is gratefully remembered-a strong' moulding influence for good in the life and and character of the schools and the state. jfElClllIQ . Imatbenmtics llbbgsical Sciences Elmer A.

HE PRO FESSION of teaching stands out pre-eminently as a force whose powerful influence has wrought great changes in the lives of men and of nations, Unostentatious, it quietly but effectively does its work, entering homes and touching lives with which no other influence could come in contact. The cause and source of this infiuence is the teacher himself, for the life of the individual teacher makes the pro- fession what it is. The effect upon the world of the life of one true, noble teacher cannot be measured. He holds sway over the heart of childhood and of youth-the period when character is moulded, and when lasting impressions are received. The teacher's word is often respected, his example followed, when the word and example of others higher in authority are disregarded. This unmeasured infiuence is exerted everywhere, no less in the college than in the elementary school, and grateful, indeed, should he be who is privileged to come under the direct guidance of teachers who are faithfully devoted to their profession. In this respect, we who are students in the Michigan State Normal College consider ourselves most fortunate. The members of the faculty of this institution are widely known as men and women of broad and liberal culture, who are inspired by the highest ideals of education and of life. They are earnestly devoted to their work, their noble aims and purposes finding expression in this life work. We have ever been made to feel that the principal object of their teaching has been to place before us that which is highest in the moral as well as the intellectual realm, and to give us all possible assistance in our attempts, both present and future, to realize those ideals. YX'e cannot repay the benefits we have received from the faculty of the Normal College, but we would express our sincere appreciation of the interest they have taken in ns, individually and as a student body, and further. we would strive so to live that their expectations and hopes for our future may be realized. l Gbe Eraining Bcbool HE NORMAL Training School is now drawing toward the close of the forty-ninth year of its existence, and at no time in its history has it been in so prosperous a condition. It would be difficult to recognize in the present department, with its stately building, numerous airy classrooms and wide corridors 5 with its well regulated course of study, its faculty of ifteen critics and its student corps of over three hundred teachers, the dingy, one room, experimental school of half a century ago, with its single critic and corps of but twenty students. Perhaps no other department of the Normal so admirably illustrates the marked growth of the College, or stands out so prominently as an index of its work. It is the laboratory or work-shop of the institution where all pedagogical dogma taught, and all teaching ability possessed by students are put to the test. Here unclassihed knowledge is classified and converted into power, thought is translated into action and the theories of other departments put into practice. It is here the anxious Senior, after years of preparation, is finally initiated into the secrets of his profession, and takes the hrst 'K Eve formal steps H down the avenues of success of failure, clinging frantically to the superintendents hand or the critic's skirts, longing for the mists to roll from his pedagogic vision, that he may H apperceive the mysteries of that thing of complex simplicity called the U lesson plan. Here he encounters that most intricate and interesting of all school phenomena-the eager urchin-ready to explode the pet theories of the inexperienced pedagog and teach him the all necessary but torturous truth 5 that it is not what a man knew las! year but what he can do now that is the true measure of his value. Here he goes through a process of pedagogical pruning under the supervision of a critic with all-seeing eyes and otherwise abnormal senses, whose seeming pleasure in life is to tear from him the last vestige of belief in the theory of inspired genius, and teach him by methods plain-and at times painful-the doctrine of divine drudgery as the only sure foundation for success in his profession. Such is the Training School. In it the Senior, as the embodiment of the highest work of the College, is put to the crucial test, which if successfully met, leaves upon him the stamp of fitness for his life vvorkg and from its door he goes forth with the picture of round, rosy faces, the sound of merry voices, and the knowledge of childish friendships, which have awakened in him a love for his profession and Which will be a pleasant memory in the days to be.

I-IE DOMINION of music is so vast and its influences so varied that it affects every phase of a person's life,-moral, physical, and intellectual. Hitherto it has been supposed that music appealed only to the emotions, but modern authorities contend that it has so much of an intellectual effect that it may be wisely substituted for mathematics. However that may be, philanthrophists, teachers, and reformers all count upon the power and effect of music and its humanizing value. Music possesses one quality so subtile and inexplicable that its existence can he proved only by experience, I refer to that wonderful power of music to stimulate the mental faculties. Philosophers, scientists, and all deep thinkers have testified that they could investigate better and think more clearly and logically while under the stimulus of harmonic sounds than when closeted in perfect quiet. It is said that scientists have only recently discovered that music brings out into definite shape and being thoughts which have been lying confused and undeveloped in the mind and needed only the strains of inspiring music to awaken into life and power. Normal College students discovered the truth of the above statement long ago and have experienced the potency of music as an intellectual stimulus every day of this year. To this influence of the Conservatory, in its close proximity to Normal College proper, we are warranted therefore in attributing the culture and astonishing brilliancy of the Normal Class of 'Ol. We feel that because of such unselflsh and unstinted aid on our part in producing for the world modern Platos and Aristotles, we, the Conservatory Class of '01, deserve to have our names enrolled upon the tablets of immortality. l In numbers we are a score. As usual those of the sterner sex are in the minority, there being only two men in the class, but what is lacking in quantity is more than made up in quality. Of course, it is a self-evident truth that we are the most brilliant and altogether the handsomest class which has ever been graduated from the Conservatory, and while none of us may ever become Beethovens or Jenny Linds, rest assured we shall be heard in the land. As the closing days of our school life draw near, we can but feel sad to think that together with the trials of the student life, we are also to leave the many pleasures which will not be found when the cares and responsibilities of future years are assumed. We have labored hard and long to reach the goal, and we do not forget that the securing of all education depends to an unlimited extent upon the teacher. To the careful and patient training of the Conservatory faculty we owe our success. To Prof. Pease, who is responsible for so much of the knowledge and musical ability of the class, and who has directed all our efforts with such skill, we extend our heartfelt thanks, and sincerely hope that to the many years which he has spent laboring zealously and unselhshly in the interests of the Normal Conservatory, many more useful and happy years may be added.

SMITH S THE bright sun of the wide universe chases the darkness of the old century before it and gives the morning light to the new, so the Senior Class of 1901 stands on the threshold of the intellectual world, a shining light of the hundred years to come. To trace its history we need only go back to its organization as the Sophomore Class of 1899. But must we say that here was the beginning of all that goes to make this one of the strongest classes in the history of the school? No, we must go farther than that. We must go to that institution, whose very name seems stamped on the brow of every Senior, the Training School fwhich modernized, means workshop or experiment station.D We must take from there the live or six hopeful cherubs who have withstood the attacks of pre-historic Seniors, and have now in their turn experimented. We must go to the best high schools of Michigan and take from each one, two, or more of its most brilliant members. Knowing this, is it any wonder that the ignorant Freshman, the gentle Sophomore, and the envious Junior look with longing eyes on the beautiful red and white and wish they, too, were members of the class of 'O1? It might be said, when we receive the precious sheep skin, tied with its pretty blue ribbon, that we had iinished our education, but it is not so. More truly it will be said, we are just beginning. We have been collecting weapons for life's warfare, their temper is yet untried, but the strife is about to begin, and when next September calls the children from their long vacation they Will see among the choicest of the land many of the class of '01, called to be guide, philosopher, and friend for the coming year. We do not expect to find our pathways strewn with roses but we are prepared to tread lightly on the thorns. As we go forth in June it will be with sadness and regret. Our short life here has been one of pleasure and good will, our associations with the under classnien have been harmonious and enjoyable. We have come in Contact with many lives every day and We hope We have spent the moments in such a Way that the world is better for our having lived in it. We must go, henceforth hearing the familiar sounds of college life only in memory, and We cast our lot among the many other pedagogues for: u Labor is life !

As a result of this custom, her walls have gained many beautiful picturesg her library fine pieces of statuaryg and each year she can offer some new means of culture to her students Whose lives are thus made richer by this inheritance. H What gift will be a fit memorial of our regard? When this question presented itself to the class of '01, one opinion seemed to be uppermost in the minds of all. There is one who has lived in and for the Normal College, Who has devoted the best years of his life to the building up of the institution of which We are justly proud. What could be more htting than that We should leave as our gift a portrait of the honored Emeritus Professor of psychology and pedagogy, Dr. Daniel Putnam. He is a personal friend and benefactor to the students, and We rejoice that through our efforts Dr. Putnanfs portrait will remain as an inspiration to our students and a tribute to him of the profound regard of the class of 'O1. We have been especially fortunate in our artist, Miss Hilda Lodeman, an alumnus of the institution, who returned recently from Munich. Miss Lodeman therefore brings to her task, besides the genius of lier art, the interest of a friend, and loving service to her Alma Mater. On account of the interest which attaches to Dr. Putnamis name throughout the state, and because of the excellence of the Work itself, requests have been made of Miss Lodeman and the class that the portrait be included in the Michigan exhibit at the Pan-American Exposition, Where it may be seen during the coming summer. This will be felt as an honor to be shared equally by the College and by the class of '01. 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 S 9 1 0 Nl Mary Mason S' 1xi1Cl'C.S little melancholy in herf' :kFrances Mercer Too earnest for laughter, too pleasant for tears Laura Olney Air ann manners are more expressive than wortlsfi Anna Pratt She's pretty to walk With, And witty to talk with, And pleasant, too, to think on.

Hoo Rah! Boom! Nauglzty-iwo Juniors, Give us room! HIS YEAR'S Junior class is one of which the Normal College may justly be proud. Numerically it easily ranks With the best classes that the Normal has ever had. However, its importance is not numerical only, but in mental libre it outshines all former classes. As a class we are certain to make room for ourselves in the active Helds of life. If We find no room we will make room, and, rising superior to difiiculties and trials, will climb, round by round, until We reach the very top of the ladder of success. Many ofthe class, both boys and girls, have already held positions of importance in the teaching profession, and have shown a marked degree of ability. The boys have supported all lines of Work of the school, from those upon the athletic field demanding the toughest, most rigid muscles, to those in the classroom requiring the most prolonged and intense mental exertion. The girls,-here we hesitate, for We are unable to find appropriate words in which to tell of their strong hands and loving hearts. They, like the boys, have shone in all lines of college work, and at all times and under all circumstances they have shown that true womanliness which goes to make the American woman the pride of the world. Compared with the Seniors, the Juniors are found wanting in but one or two main features. If at the oiiice we are lacking in marks it is the number of marks, but not the quality. And in point of age - well, years will remedy this defect. As we become the Seniors of next year we will have left a record at which the following classes, the present Sophomores and Freshmen, will look with wonder and amazement,-- a record that will be an inspiration to those classes that they also may excel. Judging the class as a whole, one would be safe in saying that as the years come and go on the swift wings of time, as the sweet music of birds and the murmuring brooks of spring give way to summer with its intense activity, and summer in its turn gives place to autumn, with its abundant harvest as the result of labor well done, and this Hnally settles down into the quiet serenity of winter, so we Juniors, in our homes will be free from the effects of the storm in the quiet winter of our lives. We are now entering the smiling summer. From this we too will pass, with thinning ranks and silvered hair, to the less active but not less beautiful season of autumn, finally to merge into ripe old age, in which we will look back with joyful remembrance to the days of the Junior spring-tide of 1901.

CLARENCE FISHER, Chairman ADAH MCGILLIVARX' MABEL BLOOD FREL J. SCOVILLE E . . I X . ..L.- Glass of '03 ROBERT C. SMITH HE SOPHOMGRE class of 1901 is the largest Sophomore class that the Normal College has known in years. A different spirit pervades it, and energy, industry, enthusiasm, and independence fill it. The class no longer meets but to adjourn until the following year when the name of Junior shall bring to it glory and honor. It no longer hides away desiring no recognition, but its members proudly wear their colors and give their cheers, gladly showing the College to what class they owe their allegiance. A duty lay before our class which has been nobly performed- the decline of college spirit has been arrested, its increase assured, and that feeling infused into the advance ranks, which will aid in producing such results in all future contests, that fear of defeat will be banished, and like the Grecians of old, wonders will be performed because of the belief that they possess that power which will overcome all obstacles. W'ho has cheered more heartily over a comradeis victory, who has exulted more earnestly over a friend's triumph, who has grieved more deeply over a Normal defeat than the Sophomores? No necessity for eulogizing it appears, but judging from the past success in the mental and physical arenas of our College, we believe it to be no average class. Filled with push, pluck, and persistance, a wonderful future may be expected of our classmates, and from among them will educators, orators, and statesrnen of the highest abilities appear. VVe believe in true education-an education of the head, heart, and hand, and when its loyal sons and daughters go forth upon lifefs tempestuous sea, manv shipwrecked mariners will be guided safely into port by their loving words and deeds. Vilith .--1dz'a:zcc as our watchword may no Sophomore fall by the wayside, but, rather, be ready to spring into action at the call of duty to till the places which will soon be left vacant by the noble characters who have long been striving to lift humanity into a higher civilization. Gllassif '04 ROBERT FOREMAN EHOLD the class of ,04! They come from the north, from the south, ay, from the uttermost parts of the state, to form that important band known as Freshmen. See them as they assemble in the Temple of Learning. How they feel their importance! Are they not to be Seniors some day? Surely the Normal could not live long without them. Now the fall term has commenced and each day the Freshman may be seen climbing the hill to the college with his burden of books under his arm. Entrance examinations have no terrors for him now. The Seniors organize, the Juniors organize, the Sophomores organize, but the Freshman works bravely on, not wishing to imitate the others nor to Waste energy in class yells or class scraps. No, the Freshman wins honor in a more quiet way. First we see him on the foot-ball Held Hghting bravely with his older school mates. Next We see him on the H diamond H Winning scores and honors for the N's. Spring comes. The emerald-hued Freshman has been through the furnace of structural botany, English history, rhetoric, and comes out refined and subdued. He has lost much of his characteristic color and begins to act quite like other Normalites. He has learned not to sit dolefully on the stairs and not to talk insipid nonsense in the library or in the adjoining corridor. And now the end is at hand. Final examinations are over and he returns to mother's arms. One page of his college life is completed. He is no longer a Freshman.

Glue Lyceum JOSEPH GILL 6 6 OWING, not drifting, has been the motto of the Lyceum this year. Last October found us few in numbers but strong in determination to carry on a good work. As we approach the end of the year we find the societies full of members and enthusiasm, and committees gratihed at the good work done. In our rejoicing we remember our debt of gratitude to Dr. Leonard and Mr. Lathers for their kind suggestions in the modification of our constitution and the planning of the work. As a result of the varying needs of the student body, the organization has undergone several changes. Its beginning was a loosely constructed organization to which everyone was admitted. Debating and oratory were the attractions every Friday evening, and we may point with pride to men of state and national reputation whose forensic ability was nursed in the old Lyceum of the Normal School. In the change inaugurated by Miss Rice the membership was limited to twenty, but it was soon found that this would not satisfy the literary spirit which had been stimulated, and the year 1880 brought forth four societies, each forty in number. V For several years they had no permanent abode and they met in classrooms, but as the building grew they found pleasant homes in the four rooms in the north wing of the main building. It is to be regretted that the Adelphic society ceased to perform her functions last year, and her home was transformed into a recitation room, but we hope the time will come when she will rise from her slumber and vie with her sisters in bringing pleasure and social culture to the students of the Normal College.

OLDFIELD N THE year 1897, through the efforts of Mr. Ingraham, the instructor in elocution and oratory, the Oratorical Association Was organized. Its object, as stated, in Article III of the Constitution, is, ill to elevate the standard of public speaking in the Normal by means of organized contestsg C25 to do all things practicable to further the interests of oratory and debating. With this object in view, the Association early secured a series of three debates With Albion College. The result Was victory for the Normal. The series of debates now pending with Kalamazoo College have not thus far brought Wreaths of laurel to our representatives, but We hope our colors will soon shine forth gloriously again and we shall be able to conquer all who come. Tl1e oratorical contest, formerly controlled by the Normal News, was last year placed under the control of the Association, and though it is not at present a financial success We hope to make it such a strong feature that it will soon become so. As inducements to enter the Association Work, prizes are offered to the amount of sixty dollars for debating, and a gold medal and thirty-five dollars in oratory. The winner of hrst place in the final oratorical contest here has the honor of representing the Normal in the Inter-Collegiate Contest which is held in turn at the different colleges in the Michigan Oratorical League. The executive committee, which is the official body of control, consists of the instructor of elocution and oratory and President of the Association as ex-officio members, Professor of English department as advisory member, and one representative from each of the literary societies, the Mock Congress, Webster Club, and school at large. The constantly growing membership and the increase of interest shown in the work, bespeak for our Association great things in the future, and We believe that the time will soon come when it will hold the place it should have in college life. Certainly the means of expressing one's self Well is of very great importance, and each student ought, therefore, to get as much training as possible along this line of work. To the teacher especially is such work helpful and necessary, for not only should he be fitted by his college course to master thought, hut to express it with ease. force, and clearness. wratorical Qlontest HARRY R . DUINIDRILLE HE ANNUAL Oratorical Contest took place in Normal Hall on the evening of March 18th, 1901. There were six contestants. The orations were of a high order and showed careful preparation on the part of the participants. This contest was a good evidence of the progress of oratory in the State Normal College. In the absence of Mr. Lefurge, the president of the Associatian, Miss Hunter acted as chairman. The first oration of the evening was given by Miss Sarah Maddock on the Negro Problem. Edu- cation was considered as a potent factor in solving this problem. The next oration was delivered by Mr. L. J. Smith. His subject was the Boss in Politics. He described the typical boss and gave some individual examples. The power of these bosses has originated through our present party system, the rise of great corpo- rations, and the general spirit of indifference on the part of the voter. Miss Katherine Lewis followed and drew many helpful lessons from the life of that noble woman, Queen Victoria. Mr. Whitmoyer came next, and spoke on the Old Man Eloquent, John Quincy Adams. Mr. Kittell's subject was c'Our Nation's Safeguardf' the many problems that confront our country and must be solved through the medium of more intelligent citizenship. H. Z. Wilber's oration was the HMission of America. He spoke of America and her responsi- bilities and the duties that have arisen out of the acquisition of territory. She is to carry civilization and the torch light of liberty to the people of the far East. Her inliuence is to be used in the promulgation of freedom and the betterment of civilization everywhere. This was the last oration of the evening, and the decision of the judges was awaited with much interest on the part of the audience. The Oratorical Association of the College had offered as prizes, twenty dollars and a gold medal to the one winning first place in the contest, and fifteen dollars to the one winning second place. Mr. H. Z. Wilber won first place, and the honor of representing the State Normal College in the state oratorical contest. UUIGDSIGI' Glllb FALL QUARTER PRESIDENT H. R. DUDIBRILLE VICE-PRESIDENT C. E.

It was the long felt need of practice in debate and public speaking, that led to the organization of the Webster Club, during the spring of 1900. When the fall term opened a few of the former members were present and the membership soon increased to the number limit of sixteen. Work began in earnest with subjects which required considerable time and study in preparation, and with the efhcient aid of our critic, Mr. Lathers, each one felt he was gaining no little good from the work. The Club was admitted to membership in the Lyceum at the beginning of the year We felt quite elated in winning the debating cup, in the fall term, as this was our first appearance in the Oratorical Association. Mr. H. R. Dumbrille very ably represented the Club in the final debate with Kalamazoo. In the oratorical contest during the winter quarter, our respresentative, Mr. H. Z. Wilbur won 'drst honors and will represent the M. S. N. C. at the state oratorical contest in Lansing. Two other members, L. C. Smith and E. C. Kittell, won second and third places in the final local contest. While we are proud of the fact, we do not cite these victories in a boastful spirit, but to show that study and constant effort are producing the desired results. The meetings are held in Room 51, from 10 to 12 A. M. Saturdays. In addition to debating and extemporaneous speaking, frequent drills are given in parlimentary practice. This organization has become so favorably known, that a number of applications of persons wishing to become members are always in the hands of the clerk. As a result of our efforts together, a strong feeling of friendship has grown up, working for each others mutual good and making college days more pleasant. We cannot help feeling that the VVebster Club is one of the strongest organizations and is giving material aid in building up our College. liT'lCOll1 Club Mficers PRESIDENT - - EARL G.

WILSON CLINTON B. WHITMOYER lincoln Gllub GEORGE K. WILSON GDAY oratory may not be as essential as it has been in the past, yet the art of expressing thought clearly, either when writing or speaking, will always be essential to the success of a public man. The ability to maintain an oral argument well can be acquired only by hard and constant practice, and in no profession is there greater need of this ability than in the Work of a teacher. Any person who has had any experience in teaching, knows that he who would convince a dull pupil of the truth must have quick wits to form his line of convincing arguments. A number of young men who felt this need and who desired to become more eflicient in the art of public speaking, organized the Lincoln Club early in the fall quarter of 1900. The membership is limited to sixteen male students of the Normal College. A meeting is held every Saturday at 8 o'clock, A. M., and each member is required to take some part in all meetings. By this rule the members are greatly benehted, as each in turn acts as chairman, thus being compelled to acquire a knowledge of parliamentary rules, While as critic and judge of debate, his judgment is exercised and developed. The program consists of a review of current events, short impromtu speeches, a debate on some question, important or otherwise, and occasionally a recitation or a select reading. This young club is in a healthy condition and gives promise of outlasting the present year. In all proba- bility its work will be continued with the beginning of the fall quarter by as many of the old members as return and by new members who may be elected to membership. ' llbortia Gilub RENA M. OLDFIELD HE NEW is always interesting. Anything of beneficial aspiration and Work demands our attention. So We believe that all Will be interested and pleased to hear of the organization of the Portia Club 5 a club consisting of fourteen girls, who meet each Friday afternoon and spend an hour of helpful work together. The club is organized for the purpose of instructing the girls in oratory, debating, and parliamentary drill. We know our deficiencies along these lines and realize that only to one who is Willing to expend every effort and energy will come success. We do not seek competition with the men's clubs of like order or similar purport. We believe that life is a vast field of intercourse and that women should know how to present themselves in a creditable manner at any season and on any occasion. Easy and graceful speech is a demand felt by every person, no matter in what avocation in life. Portia, one of the strongest of Shakespeare's women characters, is our model, and though no one of us may ever reach or nearly approach her commanding eloquence, we place our ideals high in the realization that through the lofty ideals the mind is strengthened and true growth takes place. The membership of the Club is limited to sixteen, that more practice can be had by the individual members. This organization fills a long felt want in the institution and we hope and expect that next year it will take its place in the College and hold membership with other like organizations in the Oratorical Association.

KITTELL UR ORGANIZATION found its beginning in the desire, on the part of several students, for a more exten- sive study of the drama than could be afforded by our regular Shakespeare courses. During its four years of successful work, the Club has passed beyond the experimental stage and is now recognized as a permanent adjunct of our College. The work is outlined each year with some special end in view. Last year we departed from custom and took up the study of Goethe's K' Faust and Dante's U Inferno. Great benefit was derived from these master- pieces, and this year we returned with renewed zest to the study of our favorite author. The aim has been to consider one or two plays from each of the three periods of Shakespeare's life. The study of each play has been in charge of one of our number and each member has made special preparation upon some topic indicated by the leader. By this means we have been able to proceed much more rapidly than we could otherwise have done and yet have brought to bear upon each subject the wealth of material which our library contains, as well as the varied experiences of our members. The inspiration of these meetings will not soon be forgotten. The method of study has always been comparative,-seeking to discover the distinguishing features of each play, and comparing each with others of the same and of different periods of the author's life. By this means we have studied, not only the development of the drama, but also the development of the intellect of the worldls great poet. '1D. TLU1. GZ.

Just twelve short months ago five of our girls gathered on the banks of Lake Geneva, longing and earnestly expecting to receive that inspiration which should send them back to the other girls in the College with new zeal and new courage, to work for our Master. and bring into other lives some small ray of the Divine Light which had shone so searchingly into their own hearts during those soul-stirring Geneva days. There they began to realize tl1e needof the Associatiation to employ a General Secretary-one who could devote a part of her time to supervising the work of the various departments of the Young W'omenls Christian Association as carried on luv the students, and thus further the interests of spiritual life in our College. Although unable to formulate definite plans then, but yet sure and determined that this was the right course, trusting Him to make clear the way, the girls came back last fall and wonderfully was the way opened for us! For the first time in the history of our College the Young Women's Christian Association has been able to support a General Secretary, paying her a salary of one hundred and seventy-five dollars, and she in return giving one half of her time. Her work has been to oversee all the departments of the Association, see that the new girls were called upon and welcomed, that the sick were visited, have charge of the Students' Employment Bureau, and attend to the various needs, both material and spiritual of the young women in our College. The members of the Association are confident that the time is not far distant when they will be able to employ a secretary, who may give her entire time to this work which our girls so greatly need, Although the General Secretaryship has marked the main step in advance in the Association work of the past year, yet remarkable progress has been made along other lines. Three years ago the Y. W. C. A. was in its infancy, supported by but thirteen girls, while to-day we are happy in having the largest Y. W. C. A. in Michigan, with a membership of two hundred and sixty. Through the efforts of the Missionary Department and the inspiration brought us direcrtly from the foreign field, through several earnest, devoted missionaries, ive of our girls have been led to give their lives to the work of Foreign Missions. One of these Student Volunteers will sail in September, and the others are waiting only until their preparation shall be completed. The Social Department has added much to the enjoyment of our college days in furnishing 'lthose good times at Starkweather Hall, in the form of socials, parties, frolics and receptions, formal and informal. But of the many benefits of our Association we know that that which we can express is but the outside, the Calyx encasing, and concealing the rich and spotless lily, which in future hours is to burst forth in its perfectly developed symmetry, an inspiration to all near. Necessary and valuable as is the purely mechanical part of our work, yet we feel that in the little heart-to-heart talks with the girls, and with Him for them, we have all been bound together in a union beyond mere human understanding but eternal and everlasting, and in learning to lean upon His all protecting arm, we are gathering the choicest fruits of our college days. 112.

KEBIPSTER HE YPSILANTI Young Men's Christian Association, an offspring of that world wide movement to uplift the lives of young men, dates its existence from February 6, 1899. The advantages coming from affili- ation with the other college Associations of the land made it seem wise that a separate organization be established. Accordingly on the above mentioned date in the presence of Horace Rose, General Secretary, Ann Arbor, and C. M. Copeland, State Secretary, the constitution was adopted and the Association organized, with a charter membership of twelve. In a short time the Association took its place among the organizations of the College, and in due time attained a firm foundation. The secret of the success of the Y. M. C. A. is found in its threefold purposeg to unite the Christian men of the College, to establish and promote the religion of Christ in the lives of college men, to equip and send forth leaders to extend the Kingdom of God throughout the earth. The agencies employed to reach this end are found in the separate departments into which the work of the Association falls. Bible Study opens the way for increase of knowledge and spiritual insight concerning the religion of Christ. The Missionary Department gives opportunity for learning of the needs and conditions in the heathen world. The devotional meetings offer training in Christian work. The outlook for the coming year is most encouraging. By addition of furniture and other improvements the rooms have been made more attractive. As the Association grows older and precedents are established, it becomes better organized. By being better organized it becomes stronger, for a well constructed body generates coniidence and creates sentiment in favor of itself. At present the Association is striving with earuestness as it ever has in the past, for the advancement of Christ's Kingdom. Its members are loyal Christians and faithful workers. With the hearty coijperation received from students and faculty this work must result in the spiritual life of the college keeping pace with the intellectual life. EDWIN s.

SHERMAN, ,Ol 1HormaI Giollege Mews BESSIE BACON GOODRICH VARIETY of interests go to make up our College life. All interests meet in our College paper. It is the expression of student life and thought. His ambitions and hopes are bounded by College walls and the college paper is distinctly characteristic of this lesser world. In a business meeting of the Alumni, in June, 1881, it was decided to publish a college paper which should be under the control of the students and should be known as The Normal News. The little twelve page journal then begun has resulted in our present Well edited magazine. Improvements have been made, a more attractive dress added, and its size increased, until now it compares favorably with papers published by the best colleges in the land. In nothing has the progress of the school been more marked than in the rapid and steady growth of its paper. The contents of The Normal Newsu touch all, the social and athletic as Well as the professional and academic side of our school life. The social side of the paper makes it dear to many who have left the College, serving as a tie which binds them still to their Alma fllafer, and the long articles, either by members of the faculty or students, make the magazine valuable for reference. The financial and literary success of the paper depends primarily upon the editor and business manager, but they are greatly aided in their efforts when they have the hearty cooperation and sympathy of the entire school- These officers are appointed by the faculty, who also appoint an advisory board from the faculty to confer with them. During the past year the paper has been especially fortunate in these ofhcers, as both of these gentle- men, on account of their ability and former experience in this line of work, are admirably fitted for their office. The school, as a whole, is indebted to them for the excellent style of the paper they have offered each month and for so ably maintaining its former high standard. l1, 'Nx ' l 'TT' I -e - 1' :RN-a,E:, f' f ,M ,, --Mm.

We are growing from year to year to see in life the necessity of a broad culture and a clear insight into the higher motives of life, and We strive to attain these heights. Nobility and chasteness of character and the faculty of seeing the beautiful in all things is what We desire, not for ourselves alone, but Working together for the good of others. Close companionship with friends who have high ideals cannot help but have its influence on the individual life and it is through the individual that the masses are led to true living. Thus it is that We hope to become better members of the World's sisterhood through intimate acquaintance with those who are striving together for the attainment of a complete life. One member has gone from us Whom We sadly miss. She was a true sister and her beautiful character gave to each of us a noble inspiration. We deeply mourn the loss of such a com- panion, but feel that to her has come the realization of the best and highest meaning of truth. - wwf evil? - -1esa'i'g1- 4.35 Nf- -.i u M:-:M-za-:gm f' D4 W ' ..-.

This number was quickly increased, and a patroness was chosen. The aim and spirit, which is common alike to all such social organizations, is both strengthened and tempered by the scholastic atmosphere of an edu- cational institutiong and the influence of the sorority and of the fraternity is an acknowledged factor for growth in its largest significance during college residence, and for a deeper love for Alma Mater, when college halls give place to broader nelds of work. The sorority began the year with nine active members. We lost from active membership during the fall quarter, Miss J enness, who resigned her position as assistant librarian. She was followed at the end of the winter quarter by Miss Melissa Hull, assistant in the department of drawing, and by Miss Maier and Miss Conrad, who completed their regular college Work. This year the annual initiation took place in the winter quarter, when those who had already, for a season, worn the violet and white, were presented with the sorority emblem, a lighted taper in all its symbolic signiti- cance. Five old members returned for the initiation, thus doubly binding old friendships and new, and giving tangible expression to their loyality to both Alma Mater and Zeta Phi. f ix! sit W M' 1 mlm 1 TbElI'mOl1iOLl5 fllbgetice Galore CERISE AND WHITE llbatronesaes MRS.

Realizing that the end of all education is true and noble living, and that success is the realization of the estimate which you place upon yourself, the desire came to each one of us to make more of opportunity, believing with Browning that a man's reach should exceed his grasp, or whatls a heaven for? As a means of more nearly reaching our ideals in the daily college life, we shall strive for good scholarship, for higher musical attainment, for loyalty to college, sister and friend, and aim to cultivate a spirit of cheerfulness and helpfulness towards all. That the wholesome influence, emanating from such good fellowship, may be as sweet as the delicate fra- grance of our chosen symbol, and may be far-reaching in its effect upon others of the great sisterhood, as well as upon ourselves, is our earnest desire. We regret, with the closing year, the departure of three worthy senior members. As they go forth to meet life, in its various phases, may they act well their part and remain loyal to the teachings and pledged vows of the Kappa Psi. Trusting We may grow according to our heartis desire, we, as a sorority, face the future with bright hope and a strong faith that this hope shall change to glad fruition. 2,4 1, 93N . a , 2 'H ' f ' 'gan h . tp f ' Y .f J, ug' - X ss M , f Q 5 ., if fi X -1.0 ' - QM. x - J X.

MAYBEE Chapter 1RoII ALPHA CHAPTER, Ypsilanti, Mich. BETA CHAPTER, Mt. Pleasant, Mich. CDAH N THE evolution of educational ideals the development of the social side is now a recognized factor. The purpose of the Phi Delta Pi fraternity, as of many other organizations, is to cultivate this subordination of self to the will of many-that is, the development of the individual in society. We believe that by a closer bond of friendship the mutual benetits are increased many fold, and thus is carried out our motto-fraternity, justice, progress-of which our name is emblematic. The history of the organization is one of steady advance. Founded in 1892 as the Washiiigtonian Toast- master's Club, reorganized in January, 1899, into the Phi Delta Pi fraternity, it was incorporated August 12, 1899. At present there are twenty active members and over two hundred honorary members. During the year our altruistic spirit has led us to establish 9. Beta Chapter at Mt. Pleasant, which now has fourteen active mem- bers under the direction of Mr. J. W. Mitchell. The fraternity has given several social functions during the year and Welcannot think but that in future years many will recall with pleasure their connection with a fraternity which claims for its standard that which is noblest and best in the social and intellectual circles of college life.

The idea has long been fostered, but not until this school year of 1900-1901 has it been realized. No. 413 Cross street is our location and from the advantage of this daily closer contact has been realized a greater feeling of brotherhood and fraternalism, Which is the fundamental object of our existence. Here, too, returning members have found the 'ilatch string out and a hospitality extended which only brothers can extend. Detroit was again selected this year as the place of the annual banquet, the Hotel Russel being the desti- nation. A goodly number of the fraternity were present and the occasion was made one not exceeded in the past in enjoyment by any similar gathering. The A. of H. now numbers 13 in active members and possesses an enrollment of 111 honorary men, who have gone forth to battle with the actualities of applying what has been taught them in the Normal, and We believe they have attained a higher degree of culture and will be awarded a greater amount of social prestige with fellow men than Would otherwise be theirs had they not been of the fraternity's chosen men.

Like the societies of a similar nature already established, its aim is the very highest. It looks to the development of its individual members in every phase of life that will make them capable of reflecting the most honor upon their Alma Mater in after years, as well as the forging of a bond of union and fellowship while still within the immediate circle of her influence. Its members are 'K weighed and not found wanting before they aspire to don the orange and while. Then. too, the mysterious road leading into the fraternal gate is found to be long and wearisome, -beset on every hand with the unknown as well as the unexpected. Fortunate, indeed, is he who endures until he finds him- self safe within her portals. The organization now includes among its seventeen members, men well known for their loyalty to the best interests of the college and for their ability as individual students. The society deems itself especially fortunate in having for its patron, one who is always striving so nobly to elevate the social, intellectual, and moral side of student life,-Professor S. B. Laird.

TAYLOR Ghz Zlthletic Zlssociation O. M. GASS ROM THE standpoint of enthusiasm and hnances the Athletic Association began the year very favorably. At the close of the previous year we had more than met our financial obligations, our baseball team had won a large majority of its games, our track team had made a very creditable showing at Field Day, and now we were to have a competent coach for our various teamsg so why shouldn't we have felt enthusiastic ? Being assured of hnancial backing, our football team was able to commence practice early in the season. Prospects were very bright indeed, and we surely should have had a winning team had not that terrible calamity come upon Captain Wood. His death deprived us of one of the best leaders the football team of the Normal ever had. After this the boys lost heart and as a result won but few games, but some good material was developed. The basketball boys, too, were unsuccessful in winning the few games played. However, Captain Cross and his men put up a fast game against the strong teams they met. In baseball we have been more fortunate. Strong individual work, backed by good team work leaves us with a record of which we are justly proud. In considering athletics, great credit should be given our girls. Year after year they have not only given their hearty and substantial support to all athletics but have brought honors to our institution by successfully taking part in contests themselves. This year is no exception to the rule. Their basketball team, captained by Miss Cross, administered such a crushing defeat to the M. A. C. girls that-well, no return game was played. We are proud of Ypsi's record in previous years. Our two year course as compared with the four year course of other colleges in the Intercollegiate has placed us at a disadvantage in athletics, yet we have been among the leaders. This has taken energy and college spirit, so let us again give our athletic teams our hearty support in whatever way we can, that we may make this year one of the most successful for the Athletic Association. 5535160811 568111 H110 lll1t6I'fCOll6Qi8t6 'IRCCOIZD 'Ol LEON A.

MONG the many organizations of our College none is more deserving of mention than the Kamera Klub, now in the second year of its existence. Toward the close of last year we moved into our new quarters in the College Building, and our work this year has been partly the decoration and improvement of our room. Through the efforts of our president and a few of the charter members, the walls have been decorated, pictures hung, and cosy corners arranged, the result being a very pleasant room. A dark room has been built which is a great convenience to the members. The aim of the club is to increase our knowledge and love of photography as an art. Many instructive talks have been given during the year on the different phases of photography. In the library will be found the Photo Era, a fine magazine which contains many excellent and instructive articles. An evening was proitably spent in reviewing and criticising some colored lantern slides. A contest between the members for the best picture taken in a given time added to the interest and was beneficial to all. Among the pleasures of the year was an excursion into the country, when the members Went armed with cameras. looking for a Hsnapfl The Kamera Klub is a lively, progressive organization and all interested in photography and wishing to learn more of the art will find the work both a benefit and a pleasure.

Climb ! - they scale the topmost mast. They severed the rope with cut and slash, They rent the banner with seam and gash. Quick as it fell to the distant ground A shout was heard for miles around.

TRULY it is the Juniors. How grandly do they move, how majestically do they rise - in their own imagination. Surely in a short time they have verified the theories of Darwin, and have developed so rapidly that his work on Origin of Species has been revised. The nrst time they were noticed in our midst was when a typical specimen crawled stealthily along the corridors, raised his head over the threshold of the oiiice door, wrapped his coils about a box of crayons, and sped swiftly away. For several daysa he remained in his subterranean retreat, only to reappear, this time in a form several stages in advance of that of his Hrst visit. He had a halter about his neck, and stalked the streets on four legs. Surely evolution hath wrought wonders. It was only a few days before he appeared a fully developed man, dictating to the President of the City Water Works Board his oihcial duties. The upper classmen had been highly amused over the antics of this Junior body. The digniied Seniors had been a source of constant fear and terror to the lower classmen, and this fear continued to grow until one Junior, more courageous than the rest arose in their midst, and in deep guttural tones and with great verbosity moved that the Seniors be challenged to play a game of foot ball. The challenge was accepted, and Dec. 8th was finally settled on as the date of the game. The day arrived. From every direction excited Juniors could be seen making their way to the athletic field. Exactly at 2 P. M. the 'Ol eleven, escorted by the Senior class in a body, arrived on the scene, their colors liying gayly, singing as they marched: M Come along all ye Seniors, wear your eolors, red and white, For we're going to do the Juniors and we're going to do them right,- 0 we'll rub it into them until they feel so very sore, That the big boy's game offoot ball will be played by them no rnore. CHORUS, The Juniors are fresh, you can see it in their walk, And when they speak, you can hear it in their talk, But when they act there is no doubt at all There is nothing in their heads at all. The Juniors stole a box in which they tho't was red and white, But when the box came back there was not a one in sight, Oh the joke was on the Juniors and they did not care to talk For the box had nothing in it but some Normal College chalk. Not satished with this they tho't they try another sack, So they harnessed up their brother whose nom de plume is Jack. Yes they really had ajoke but they didn't have the tact So they spoiled the whole blamed business by the writing on his back. The perfect order and discipline of the Seniors was a revelation to the conglomeration on the south side of the gridiron. The referee's whistle was blown, the game was on, and for the first time the '02's fully comprehended Newton's first law of motion. From the first kick-off the 'Ol eleven continued in a state of uniform motion in a straight line toward the Juniors' goal. Impressed force was so slight that We make no point of it. Further comment on the game is unnecessary, suffice it to say, experience is the wise teacher, and the Juniors have resigned themselves to that portion ot the sphere which was intended for their abode. Symposium of Qpinions Qucsz'z'a2z : -H Whal do you consider Me mos! helpful faclor in N01'17zal College life? HERE is no influence in any school more potent than the personality of the teacher. Men and Women count for more than science or books. It is the strong personal iniluence which gives the uplift and inspiration to the student, more lasting far than lessons learned or course completed. JULIA A. KING. There are several factors which unite to make college life valuable to the student. Among these may be mentioned the discipline resulting from study, the self-measurement possible in the recitations, and contact with teachers of strong and noble personality. I speak as a student not as a teacher when I aflirm that the most potent iniiuence that emanated from college halls in my own case, was daily contact with noble men and Women who were my teachers. They inspired me to do my best daily, and to resolve to make the most and the best of life. From them I learned the truth that service is the largest Word in life's lexicon, that the truest riches of earth is fharafier patterned after that of the H Man of Galilee, and that the highest satisfaction possible to mortals comes to him who loves his fellow man and who is glad to toil unremittingly to ennoble his lot. I discount not the values of the two first factor mentioned, but strongly emphasize the last to which I Was, yes, and am still greatly indebted. S. B. LAIRD. The most helpful factor in any educational institution, is the phase of its life, from which a pupil gleans not an increase of understanding, but from which he learns how to get out of life all it offers, mentally, morally and physically. Outside of the class-room, where of course every good teacher has this for his aim, the college life opens three avenues, along whose Ways such help may be found: the Christian Association-offering to all the privilege of a communion in the interests of godly life, a haven of rest, where in fertile soil the good seeds sown elsewhere in college life, may germinate in the warmth of christian sunshine and love, and unfold in beauty through all eternity: the Library-with its priceless treasures, giving to the seeker for truth the wisdom and experience of the brightest men and women of our own time and the pastg the Gymnasium- where with recreation and development of physical strength and courage, the third element of Froebel's threefold education is supplied, and where the pupil finds in his greater sense of freedom and complete development. a clearer mean- ing of a full, strong life. FANNIE CHEEVER BURTON. One of the most helpful factors in college life should be the inspiration toward high ideals- ideals of intel- lectual culture, ideals of ethical conduct, ideals of physical development, and ideals of aesthetic appreciation. The time has been, and is not entirely past, when our public school teachers were satisned to U keep school without teaching. Our standards are too often satisfied when we have brought our children to a certain degree of efficiency for passing examinations in the subject matter covered by the text books in use. This ideal falls far short of what we should aim to accomplish. Constant growth along all lines is the necessary standard for advancement and from every class recitation the student should go forth feeling that he has gained some inspira- tion which will be of permanent value. As some one has said, Character is conduct in motion, and high ideals of life culminate in the development of a strong, positive sympathetic character. DIMON H. ROBERTS. To separate out of all the influences intellectual and spiritual the one Most Helpful Factor in College Life is far from easy. But if I were to omit and forget lectures and laboratories, society and societies, athletics and oratory-all these and many' more- and name the one abiding, transforming, and constructive influ- ence of my college days, I should say the personal contact with men and women of the student body and of the faculty. The stimulus of competition from fellow students and the frank associations tending to equalize and balance, to abase the unworthy and encourage the better things coupled with the inspiration and suggestion, the counsel and advice, the instruction and admonition of broad, scholarly, disciplined and trained men and women, these things met the needs of my own life most, and made the most lasting impression upon my work and my life. ALBION, Mich. W. J. MCKONE, '87, Supt. of Schools. The factors of a school are its faculty, students, buildings, equipment, and the history and traditions of the school. The physical factors of buildings and equipment are certainly desirable and important, but they are not the schoolg and the same may be said of the history and traditions, though these may be very inspiring and helpful. There can be no school without teachers and students, these are the great factors. Great teachers draw, inspire, and hold students: they make buildings and equipments necessary. The best history and tradi- tions of the school cluster around its teachersg Plato in Athens, Abelard in Paris, Page in Albany, and Esta- brook in Ypsilanti, are illustrations. In respect to its factors, our Normal College does not differ from other schools, and so I name as the most helpful factor in Normal College life the individual teacher, whose spirit finds entrance to the spirit of the student and becomes an uplifting and inspiring influence. Blessed is the student who comes under this influence, and blessed the teacher that exerts it! AUSTIN GEORGE, 163, Supt. of Ypsilanti Public Schools, In this operation I find the remainder theorem unnecessary. The factors of Normal College life present them- selves boldly: the influence of the teachers in the class-rooms, the library, the chapel exercises, the literary societies, the Students' Christian Association, the conservatory, the fraternities, athletic, the Training School- but one tires of naming. It is impossible to select. My H most helpful must involve all these. It must not so much affect scholarship as general culture, and this is the need of the student. The days of the narrow man are numbered. An important function of any institution of learning is development of cosmopolitanism. The Normal College does by bringing one into so large a student body drawn from so many different com- munities. Goethe said his writings were furnished by a thousand persons and a thousand things. What works of mosaic we are! So with such perspective as four years of experience can give one, I regard this mingling with others, this meeting so many diverse ideas and different personalities as supremely helpful in developing that breadth of mind essential to success. C. L. YOUNG, '97, Supt. of Schools, Rolla, N. D. Every one on entering college has an ideal. After becoming somewhat acquainted with my new surround- ings, I began to seek those factors that would best help me to reach the end I had in view. Social life, athletics, clubs, all afford strong points of service, but the pre-eminent factor, I found in the per- sonality of the teacher. The teacher of broad learning and culture, and the one who has the genius of appre- ciation, is the one factor in my college life that has helped me most. I shall always feel grateful for the bright and encouraging example of the teacher, for the strenuous and honest spirit in which work was done, for the intellectual stimulus which the teacher afforded, for the high ideal of duty and of honor which dominated all the'teacher's work. The student is influenced not only by what the teacher says and does, but by what he is, by his tastes, his preferences, his bearing, his courtesy, the breadth of his sympathy, the largeness and fulness of his life. All this make up that personality that has benefited me most. PAUL P. MASON, 'Ol. The object of our life and work at the Normal College, as in all education, is, by means of general culture, the deepening of the whole life. Then that influence which works most successfully towards this end, will be the most helpful factor in ourlife. As we come into contact with the students and teachers in our two or three years here, we learn that our ideas of life and of the world have been narrow almost beyond belief and confined within the limits of our own little environment of city or home. With a realization of the defect, comes clearer vision, the sweeping away of many narrow sectarian ideas, the rubbing off of sharp corners, the broadening of the view in every direction, more charitable judgment of men and their actions, the establishing of ideals too high, perhaps, ever to be reached, but high enough to be worthy of a life-long struggle for their attainment. The force back of all this is the truth, the sincerity, the strength in the teachers and students. To me, then, the potent force in college life has been the broadened view, the uplift and inspiration, whether consciously or unconsciously given, from the personalities of those I have met and known, from personality - that undetinable, intangible thing which yet is, and is all powerful in its influence. MARGARET SLEEZER, 'Ol. One of the most helpful influences in college life is that of numbers. Here the self-satisfied young person who has been regarded at home as a little above his fellows, soon finds that he is only one among many, and that, if he would hold the place here which was his at home, he must win it for himself. The one who is over- conscious of his faults, also finds that his associates are not all watching him, neither will they all suffer in con- sequence should any act of his fall short of perfection. He therefore learns to forget himself and becomes stronger in so doing. Although, among so many, the necessity for each one's securing his own place may tend to develop a spirit of selfishness, yet the wide opportunity for helping others is great enough to overcome this tendency. He who makes the most of what is given him 'dnds that a life spent in companionship with many is one of the most favorable for developing an unsellish spirit, and that such a life is filled with opportunities for observing the Golden Rule. EDITH RAUCH, '01, While acknowledging the value of exact work, of text-book-fact work, I consider the social life of the col- ledge its greatest educational factor. This conviction has been emphasized during the present spring quarter, in the class in General Method where we have had strongly and earnestly expounded the importance of environment in the training of the child, and we believe in this as in many other ways, H the child is father of the man, and in what better environment could a man be placed than in college, with its constant opportunities for study under strong instruction, and for exchange of ideas between teacher and student, and between student and student? This, both in class-room and in the many occasions of social pleasure offered, afford great opportunity for growth. - CLEMENS P. STEIMLE, ,O2. If one is to select one factor of greatest helpfulness from the many of our college-days, let it be that potent one, college friendships. Not those exclusive friendships which allow room for but the one or the two, but the cultivation of those friendships which widen one's vision, enlarge one's sympathy and deepen one's interest in his fellow-students, so developing in the individual those faculties which are essential to his helpfulness in the days to come when his circle of contact has widened. Unfortunate is he who leaves college-halls without the knowledge of the inner meaning of the name friendship! HELEN ELGIE, '0l. lil Q ig X ,rf 43 5: 4 'B it , a i 1 1' i rufrm gf-M K, W 3?

HE day had been cheerless. The trees dressed in their autumn robes of red and gold that on other days had shone bright and gorgeous, looked dull and somber, and if now and then any little patch of blue presumed to show itself from behind the dark gray of the sullen sky, it was hastily covered by some chiding cloud. All nature seemed disconsolate. The wooded bluff that overlooked the sandy beach was desolate, and the lakels broad expanse was overhung by a gray mist. A glint of light drew my glance upward. Behold! through the golden leaves of the birch above the sunlight streamed. There opposite, just a little way above the horizon, was the glad sun himself, peering between the parted clouds. Wider grew the rift, brighter the light- the mist began to rise, and over all the scene, the fields and the brown hillsides, ineffable beauty was spread. For a moment the great king of the day stood in all his splendor, speeding hence his Hery arrows that marked their whole course as they came with the golden path of their reflection across the waters. Then darting his arrows upward and slowly descending, he sent out a glory that stained the banks of cloud above and around to brilliant hues of gold and amber, violet and ruby, lined with silver. Many a dark cloud, revealed in pink light many another one that before was hidden within the dark background, and tinted with blue the horizon's edge. He sank past the rift, slowly, as if loth to leave the world that was so joyously drinking in his resplendent beauty. Ashe disappeared behind the low lying cloud, all the brilliant colorings were heightened to a glow that at last settled into a bank of ire crested with the halo of the departing glory. Twilight gathered, out on the lonely beach a skeleton tree stretched forth its arms to embrace the dying splendor. I lingered, far far from care and weary strife. ' The glory faded. Again the clouds took on their pale tints, but only for a moment, they mingled with the gray of the twilight, darkness lowered, and the moon cast her dim light across the waves. The breeze whispering softly and stirring the crisp leaves at my feet called me back to duty. My heart was aglow yet quiet. I was prepared to cross the threshold of another day. wuxvoocbeegaroo Ube NWI anb the Jfrogs F. H. Z. It was misty, and damp, and chilly, and coldg Tee whit tee hoo, tee hoo-oo! And the frogs in the bogs could hardly scold, Garoo! Garoo! Gwa hoo!

An ancient owl sat up in the treeg Tee whit tee hoo, tee hoo-oo! And blinked his goggles so he could see. Tee whit tee hoo, tee hoo! He was cold as the trees that shivered around, And thought ,twould be Warmer on the groundg So he flopped and bumped to a mouldering mound Like a dervish dancing a blind boree. Garoo! XVa hoo, boo oo! But the frogs groaned out in a hoarse dismay Garoo! Garoo! Gwa hoo! Oh, Mr. Owl, Better fly away! Garoo! Garoo! Gwa hoo! - For a ghost will come and catch you, sure! And the goblins will gobble, and the whishties lureg And against their powers there is no cure. So youtd better mind just what we say! Garoo! Garoo! Gwa hoo! Yet that owl knew better, -so old and wise. Tee whit! Tee hoo! VVhat? Who! So he stuck up his ears and opened his eyes. Tee whit! What? Whoo-Oh uoo! YVith haughty proud look and a knowing sneer He blinked through the gloom, and tried to hear What the winds were quarelling about so near. -- But soon he grew drowsy, and nodded with sighs, Tee hoo!

And with a bound He snatched that owl from off that mound And whirled with the feathers round and round, While the terrihed frogs forgot their plea, Garoo! Garoo! Gwa hoo! Now the hoot of the owl is heard no more, Tee whit, tee hoo, tee hoo! And the tale is droned in the hoarse frog lore, Garoo! Garoo! Gwa hoo! Much better had it been if that feathered sage Had taken th' advice of the younger in age 'Bout a thing that they knew, --though he was a mage And I hope ltis a lesson not lore, Ouwoochegaroo! - garoo!
