LAIRD T is a pleasure to write a tribute to one who has so completely won the love and conhdence of every student .ll it and teacher in our college. President Jones brought to his position able scholarship, remarkable executive ability and kindly Christian courtesy. Because of his wide experience he has comprehended the needs of our institution. Faculty and students alike most thoroughly recognize his leadership, honor his judgment and appreciate his work. Always kind, always con- siderate, he shows genuine interest in each student and they realize that his ideal for them is their highest goody During his administration he has harmonized the entire work of the school and has also gained the esteem and confidence of the teachers of the state. A new athletic field of four acres has been granted by the state and the old one will in' the future be used for landscape gardening. The Conservatory building has been remodeled, making the rooms more convenient and better adapted to conservatory work. Our beautiful new Science building is 'nnished and was dedicated this spring, Prof. Dr. Coulter, of Chicago, giving the address. The course of study has been lengthened and hereafter the degree of A. B. in Education will be granted to those who complete two years of work in addition to the present life certificate course. George Eliot says, We could never have loved the world so well if we had had no childhood in it, and so we know that after we go out from our college halls and look back upon our childhood of life-our college days-the mem- ory of President Jones' kindly helpful friendship, his sincerity and Christian manliness will always be an inspiration to us to attain the highest in life, and we will all feel that We are better, wiser, stronger for having known him. , ll il 'ili 51,3 ni A YY Avi i Tribute to Our Faculty l P E came to college to learn better how to meet and solve the problems of life, and how to be of the greatest use in LLLEJ the world. In order-to accomplish this aim we have bought books and have used midnight oil in endeavoring to understand their meaning and imbibe their truths. This study has helped, but there has been a greater aid and one that perhaps We do not fully realize now: this is the iniiuence of our Faculty. This refining and ennobling iniiuence, this influence that inspires us to seek after the highest and best things in life and ever create for ourselves the purest ideals has come, sometimes, unconsciously and unbidden, but we realize it has come and will remain with us. Book knowledge may be forgotten, and many things pass away, but the highrfstand- ards for right living established for us through the lives of our Faculty shall never leave us. Ever their phantoms arise before us Our loftier brothers, but one in bloody At bed and table they lord it o'er us, 'With looks of beauty and Words of goodf, 12 X XX YR M ,fu ' M MZ MZ? ff ik . , gr 41 L, f :t',W,2'? 4'a f W HW Il Ml'llHHl1N 1 f'H 'lVx ' 1 ww V' 1 5 1,3 'II Yi! f ,pw-N qv , , 9 1, 1, ,pw , - ' q,'4,i,!

Roberts MARY ETHEL BALLARD -HAT the Michigan Normal College has gained a national reputation is due in no small measure to the standard of excellence attained by the Training School. For the status of the Training School much is due to the able administration of its Superintendent, Professor Roberts. Dimon H. Roberts was born in Chenango County, New York. He graduated in 1887 from the classical course of the State Normal School at Cortland, having been a pupil, a student teacher in the training school, and an assistant dur- ing his senior year in the pedagogical department of that institution. He was desirous of entering at once upon a college course but postponed this work to fultill a pledge to his Alma Mater to teach at least a year, and accepted a position as principal of the public schools of Cazenovia, New York. The following year he entered Amherst College, from which institution he was graduated in 1892. In his college life, Mr. Roberts was a member of the Delta Kappa Epsilon fraternity, of the College Glee Club, was prominent in oratorical and athletic work, and was distinguished for strong scholarship. From Amherst he went to Pueblo, Colorado as principal of the high school, at the same time continuing his work as astudent in the pedagogical department of the University of Colorado, thus in 1895 securing his master's degree from Amherst. In 1896 he became superintendent of the training school at Winona, Minn., remaining there until 1900 when he was elected to his present position as Superintendent of the Training School at Ypsilanti, Michigan. Professor Roberts's training as a student and a teacher has well fitted .him for his present position. Linked with native courtesy and abroad culture are aggressive energy and enthusiasm. An inspiring teacher, he is also a man of marked executive ability, and in his private office he listens with concentrated and sympathetic interest and responds graciously to all who go to him for counsel. Quick to grasp a situation, decisive in his judgments, frank, discerning, kind, tireless in his efforts to render helpful assistance, he wins the esteem and friendship of all who know him. 25 Training School Faculty 1.

PEASE 28 Frederic H. Pease MYRA L. BIRD x esteemed director of the Conservatory of Music When a very young man, Mr Pease came to make Ypsilanti his home, and for forty-one years has been connected with this institution. The standing which the Michigan State Normal Conservatory has throughout this state and even in other states, is due largely, if not entirely, to his untiring efforts. The growth of the department since the Conservatory was established has been very gratifying. The hrst year there were two assistants and now there are Hfteen. Mr. Pease's teaching has not been confined to one branch of the art. He has been equally successful as a teacher of voice, piano, theory and organ. It is a source of great regret. to his friends and tothe students that they do not have the pleasure of hearing him more often at the organ. But nothing has been said of his greatest talent and that is his ability as chorus conductor. There is nothing in connection with this school of which the city and state are more proud than ofthe Normal chorus. And how has it gained such favor? Not because it is composed of trained singers, for only a very small proportion of them are such, but because it is under the leadership of a man who stands second to none in that capacity. We End without exception that students who have been members of the chorus look back upon that work as one of the most pleasant ot their college experiences. Mr. Pease has always given to the public the very best compositions, and it has been through his efforts that the people of this city have had the opportunity of hearing some of the great artists of our country. In addition to all this he has always found time to study and compose. He has studied with many of the prom- inent teachers, both here and abroad, and is very well-known as a composer. O no member of the Normal Faculty is greater tribute due than to Professor Frederic H. Pease, the highly 29 Conservatory Of Music FREDERR: H.

HOARE HIS June, over three hundred Normal seniors are passing out of school life into 1ife's school. Soon these two years with their hopes and disap- pointments, joys and sorrows, victories and defeats, will he ' a thing of the past. Another chapter of our lives will Wlf have ended and we will be anxiously wondering how the next Will read . Of one fthing We feel certain-the key-note will be progression, for that has been the key-note of our college life and is one which we' can take with us throughout eternity. And perhaps this thought, that it lies in our power to make the next chapter better, makes it a little less hard to close this one. 70 In his Natural Lawf' Drummond says: Thou shalt evolve, thou shalt develop all thy faculties to the fullg thou shalt attain to the highest conceivable perfection of thy race,-and so perfect thy race,-this is the first and greatest commandment of nature. And so there lies before us an infinite Work and an infinite time in which to accomplish it. Day by day shall we each grasp something of the great Possible which lies outside of us-the great Possible which is identical with the stupendous infinite of God. Throughout life's school, this thought of progression shall be our watchword. There is no noble height thou canlst not climb, All triumphs may be thine in time's futurity, If whatsoever thy fault, thou dost not faint nor halt, But lean upon the staff of God's security.

KATE MCKENZIE ARIOUS customs are continued from year to year through our college life. One custom-the leaving of a farewell gift to our Alma Mater, is one to which several classes have conformed, and one which we hope will be con- tinued. The Banquet of the Civic Guard, a large picture which hangs in the front corridor, was left by the class of nineteen hundred. The senior classes of the past three years have each left a portrait of some member of our Faculty. Dr.Putnam's portrait was left by the class of nineteen hundred oneg Professor J.A.King's by the class of nineteen hundred two, and the members of the class of the following year gave as their parting gift, a portrait of Professor A. Lodeman. This year the senior gift is of a different character-a loan fund-which has been placed in charge of the Council. This body has the power to loan to any worthy student, having good securitv, not more than twenty-Eve dollars at any one time, and to collect the same, with a low rate of interest, six months after said student graduates. This form of gift has been tried in many schools and colleges, and has been the source of great good. The advan- tages of a scholarship, as well as those of a loan fund, were discussed when the question of a parting gift came before the class. A committee was appointed, who decided on a loan fund, and drew up a report which the class adopted. If, however, at any time the Council deem it wise to use this money in establishing scholarships, it may be done by a two- thirds vote of said Council. To this fund similar amounts may be added from year to year byclasses or friends of the Normal. The senior class of nineteen four establishes with great pleasure such a loan fnnd. Cicero says: Men resemble the gods in nothing so much as in doing good to their fellow creatures. 76 ' ST.-XRKW'EATHER HALL AND SCIENCE BUILDING 4 ff!

Underneath and permeating their calm exterior was a stern purpose and enthusiasm that recognized no obstacle and knew no such word as failure. I regret that to me has been assigned the most import- ant task of writing of this Junior class. It should have been given a genius,one who could better portray how glorious has been its origin, how brilliant has been its history, and how promising is its future. The organization in October was indeed an import- ant event. Both Sophomores and Seniors were so anxious 78 to become members of this esteemed body that they resorted to bribery, falsehood and other inferior means in order to accomplish their purpose. But they failed, and were further punished in a grand rush on Perrin St. You may be sure there was much wailing and gnashing of teeth when they found they could not become members of the honored class to which they aspired. The advent of the '05's into Chapel with their beautiful colors of gold and white was a day that will bring joy to the hearts of all Juniors for all time to come. The class meetings of the year have been a continued round of pleasure. The motto seems to have been: H Love all, trust fewg Harm no one, nor allow them To harm you. But the greatest event remains to be told, and as space is limited we will not dwell on the minor ones. Everyone knows that the supremacy of their Hag means much to a loyal class. One dark night when there was no one to molest them the Seniors placed their flag above the main building. The ever-watchful eyes of the Juniors saw it early the next morning and soon a brave deed was done. It was raining, the pole was slippery, and the purple and white dangerously high. But the U Junior Hero was inspired. What cared he for danger when the honor of his class was at stake! Those gazing on the scene stood spellbound as higher and still higher the hero climbed, until he reached the flag. As it came fiuttering down and their own colors of gold and white were placed in its stead, their enthusiasm knew no bounds. Cheer after cheer resounded through the halls for the bravery of the' 'Junior Hero' 'who had so gallantly defended the honor of his flag. The class of '05 has had many other brilliant victories, which mark the height it has already attained, though only in the noontide of its glory. We fully realize that the future of the college depends largely upon us and we are gradually gathering fhewisdom and dignity of the ideal Seniorfl 79 .

'- Class of '06 GUY C. SMITH HE names by which the different classes in a college are designated are generally considered characteristic. We believe they generally areg yet there are exceptions to all rules, and for once in the history of the Normal, the name Sophomore has been misleading. The Word itself comes from a Greek word meaning foolish, and it is in this sense that the upper classmen fit being not worth while to consider the Freshmen in this discussionj, like to apply the name. No doubt the Juniors are wise and the Seniors wiser, else we should wish to remain Sophomores the rest of our college life. But there was one period of this year when the gray matter of many a wise Junior's brain was distinctly perplexed and troubled by the foolishness of the Sophs, and to us the Juniors owe a good lesson in political machinery. The Seniors, too, came in for their share of indebtedness to the Sophomores. How many times, and apparently in vain, did they wish 84 that their Junior opponents would act their accustomed part and send them in the desired challenge. Again the Sophomores took matters in hand, and hnally, through their efforts, the thing desired was brought to pass. And what was the reward to the Sophomores? None. , We wanted no more than the knowledge that we had been of .assistance to others. Nor are these the only interests toward which our activities have been bent. All those things which should receive the attention of loyal students have been attended to by us. The literary and debating societies have received our support. We have been active in athletics. We have added much to that which is called college spirit. Yet, all the while our real purpose here has not been forgotten, and we have plied ourselves to our studies with a will. D And now as the year draws toward a close, we feel that we have discharged our duties as a class. We have made some niistakesg perhaps a few foolish ones, but they are past. We have made them stepping- stones upon which to mount to planes of clearer vision, believing that we shall be wiser Juniors next year for having been Sophomores this year. 1:15, ,.,f.

All went Well until saucy Elizabeth, intently watching a little squirrel scampering among the dead leaves, tripped on a stick lying across her path and fell, scattering her treasures. With the assistance of the gallant Warner, how- ever, she found her pencils, brushed the dirt from her dress as best she could, and hurried to overtake the rest, none the worse for the accident. In the rear trotted chubby Evelyn, who found it difficult to keep up, while near the head of the line chattered our talkative Grace. As they neared the school they began to feel a little timid, for they had heard that the big boys and girls would tease them. When at last the school house appeared in sight Frieda exclaimed, My, what a big school house and what a lot of windows and doorslt' Morris, who always spoke in a low and timid voice, stopped and whispered, Which door shall we go to? The front one, of coursefl said Allen, an important little-fellow who was swaggering along with his hands in his pockets. The door was heavy and they had difficulty in opening it. When at last they succeeded and stepped into the hall their eyes Cand mouthsj opened wide with wonder. There were so many people in the hall looking at them that they were very much fright- ened, so they stepped back into a corner and stood close together. Soon a man with a very kind face came along and took them into a small room near by. After making them feel at home, he asked them if they had ever gone to school before. Oh yes, and we know a great many things, 'was the reply. Accepting this as a satisfactory answer he placed their names upon the roll. In and about the school house these children saw many strange and wonderful things, the like of which they had never before known. The number of teachers amazed them. There was one young lady, tall and very fair, whom they all liked very much. On a warm morning one of her pupils stopped in the pleasing shade of a large tree in the yard instead of going to his arithmetic class. He thought this just as beneficial, for every word his teacher uttered floated down to him on the balmy air, although he was some distance from the building and she was' in the second story. Was the penetrating quality of her voice due to her earnestness, or was the cause to be found in the stupidity of her pupils? Who can say? .A small building very near the school house remained a mystery and a terror to the children for some time. From the cries which came from its open windows they must have thought it filled with instruments of torture. They were much relieved when they found that their schoolmates were merely learning to sing. In a short time these children became accustomed to their new surroundings. They studied diligently and improved even beyond the expectations of their teachers. This rapid progress is indicative of future success, and we predict that the next generation will find many of them numbered among the U starl' students.

A. VVORCESTER HERE is nothing that keeps the alumni of any College in closer touch with their Alma Mater and with each other than the college paper. We are proud of the fact that the Normal College issues a paper which is second to none in the State. This, the twenty-third year of its existence, has brought about more improvement in the NORMAL NEWS than any other year since it was founded. ' ' Until this year it was issued monthly, and had a circulation of about four hundred. It is now issued every week, and once each month a magazine number comes out, which in every respect equals the old maga- zine. Thus the reader is informed of the interesting events of the College before they are amonth old. Along with this improvement the price of the paper has been reduced to fifty cents per year, one half its former price, and it has a circulation of more than eleven hundred. But the College, ever ready for advancement, is already taking steps for further improvement of the paper. If the circulation can be swelled to two thousand, it will be put on a basis such that the College can offer a paper surpassed by no other college paper in existence. Already a live organ, it can be inspired with new life, and do still more to further the interests of the College which we all love. 97 Norm al College News NELLIE MCCONNELL, '04, Editor-in-Chief CHAS B.

BAKBOUR -'W Wrganiyltions Oratorical Association BRUCE E. MILLIKEN URING the year another epoch of spirited and enthusiastic work has been added to the history of the l association ,N and the aim of elevating the-standard of public speaking in the Normal College is surely being realized. C Early in the year the several organizations began work upon the question proposed by M. A. C. for debate: That the Mississippi constitutional amendments affecting negro suffrage are morally and legally justifiable. After several lesser contests the final preliminary was held Feb. 12, amidst the spirited clamor of rival organizations, the Normal team was chosen, and the Shovverman cup was delivered to the Lincoln Club as a permanent trophy of their third successive victory. The members of the team were: Miss Mabel Miller, Mr. Robert Reinhold, and Mr. Roy Herald, selected in the order named. With the team chosen, the gush of college spirit did not abate, and April 22 found over two hundred enthusiastic supporters of our institution accompanying our debaters to Lansing. The debate was well fought out on both sides and was a close contest, in which it was no disgrace to lose. The seventh annual oratorical contest took place in Normal Hall on the evening of Jan. 8, 1904. The orations of the live contestants were of a high standard and gave evidence of careful preparation, The partici- pants in the contest were: Mr. F. B. McKay, Mr. Robert Reinhold, Miss Thora Paulson, Mr. Roy Herald, and Mr. Mace Andress. Miss Paulson secured third place, Mr. Reinhold second, and Mr. McKay, with an essay on Robert E. Lee 'l won first place and the honor of representing the Normal in the state contest held at 1 qi Adrian in March. Here Mr. McKay Won an easy victory and brought still greater honor to our college by representing Michigan in the interstate contest. Our orator received Commendation of a high order at the contest, and the praise of our college for his splendid efforts and success. Thevloyal Oratorical Association is in a most flourishing condition, and besides offering seventy dollars' worth of prizes, QEIC hundred dollars has been set aside as a loan fund to worthy students. Another silver cup has been presented to the association by Mr. R. H. Brabb. Some energetic speakers are now at Work, and we confidently expect the honor of the college and the association to be borne onward and upward during 1905.

WH1Tc OMB fffff HE true student cannot expect to find all the material for a well-rounded education wrapped within the covers of a few books whose pages he can read and master in at few short months. The process of education is a gradual ' ' Y and symmetrical unfolding of all one's powers and possibilities. Mastering diiiicult books alone can never accomplish this end. Something more is needed and we believe that the debating club does more toward supplying this need than any other one feature of college life. The Debating Clubs seek to fulfill the three-fold demand of college students, for in them the intellectual, social, and moral phases of education are combined. The members are all earnest, faithful, energetic students who believe, with Spencer, that Education is a preparation for complete livingf' and linked together by the closest ties of friendship, they aim to attain that end. The membership being limited, every member receives careful attention and by being required to take an active part in each meeting, is given an excellent opportunity for development. This year has brought many improvements in the clubs and the work has attained a high degree of excellence owing to the faithful efforts of the critics and of each individual member. The three organizations now stand on an equal foot- ing With just enough rivalry between them to inspire each member to do' his best. The Webster Club has worked faithfully throughout the year and its members have every reason to be proud of their Organization. Mr. McKay, who won Hrst place in the State Oratorical Contest, is a loyal Webster member. The Lincoln Club, by diligent work, won the Silver Debating Cup for the third successive year and placed two of their best members on the College Debating Team. Their success alone speaks for the excellence of their work. The Portia Club has shown a very marked progress during the year and great credit is due to its members and their efiicient critic, Miss Eagle. For the first time in the history of the college,a vounglady outdistanced the men in debate, and Miss Miller deserves great praise for her work. May the Work of the Clubs ever prosper and its influence be reiected in the lives of their members. 110 The Shakespeare Club MELLA RUSSELL LL members will agree that the Shakespeare Club has flourished this past year. Enough cannot be said in praise of our presidents., Miss Mudge and Miss Laird, whose efforts were untiring. The old members did their best for the welfare of the Club by slowly but surely illing vacancies, and the new members are proved all sterling by their unswerving self-control in taking the required oath. The Club has read two comedies, As You Like It, and Twelfth Night, and the tragedy of Henry VIII, and although the work has been informal, much practical knowledge has been gained, besides the pleasure which all lovers of Shakespeare experience. We all appreciate the royal way in which Miss Laird has entertained the Club during the year, and extend to her our rnost sincere thanks. 111 'B Shakespeare Club OFFICERS Fall Quarter ' Winter and Spring Quarters PRESIDENT - - HARRIET MUDGE J ESSIE LAIRD VICEQRESIDENT . , - GUY SMITH .

MACE ANDRESS AS Maikranzchen was founded in 1902, and after two years of successful exertion has now fairly won the distinction of being one of the most active literary societies in the college. It has held its meet- ings every two weeks and they have been very instructive as well as entertaining. The chief aim of the society has been to acquire a proficiency in speaking German. At no time in connection with its meetings is the speaking of English permissible. The club has also done some very meritorious work along literary lines. It is the endeavor of all con- cerned to make the atmosphere decidedly Germanic. German songs are sung and the members all participate in animating and interesting discussions. At each meeting a short literary entertainment is rendered. Goethe, Schiller, and Heine programs have been effectually and artistically presented. Many of the present members will return next year, and it is expected that the Maikranzchen will achieve even greater success than ever before. 115 Olympic Literary Society PRESIDENT - VICE-PRESIDENT SECRETARY - TREASURER - - Chairman of Executive Committee OFFICERS Fall Quarter THORA A.

I was surrounded by a vast multitude-a strange, fm weird company-a meeting of the shades of men. From both sides and in front they N g advanced toward me. With the advance, the form s became more distinct. Nearer I ff W, X U still they came until I recognized many men who bear illustrious names. Suddenly, I know Sl ' W not how, nor from whence, there shone upon us all a clear, White light. It was softer and 154 Q clearer than the most radiant day, and by it I saw the company in three groups. X f The group at my left was enveloped in a glorious red and white light, and I looked upon them in amazement. For there was Booker Washington chatting familiarly with Mr. Andress, and near them stood Ian McLaren telling a story of Scottish peasant life. Among the listeners I recognized Miss Ching and Miss McKenzie. The story Wasbut half finished when Bobby Burns broke in with, AScotchman's aman for a' that. Then I saw the youth- ful Whittier step a little apart and lead the students in a yell which ended with Atheneum, I Atheneum! X F At that moment there rested above the group before me a radiant cloud of glittering gold and blue, and I saw Professor Lathers greeting J. Hopkinson Smith and introducing him to Mr. Rivett. Mr. Worces- ter presented Ralph Connor to many admirers, and Miss Sargent and Miss Fox seemed very much at home with Lowell. But an enthusiastic party beyond attracted my attention and I caught the Words. Ladies and gentlemen, prepara- tion g time is nearly gone. I immediately knew this group to be no other than the eloquent impromptu Crescent. At my right Miss Eagle and Booth Tarkington were discussing the rendering of Monsieur Beaucaire, and behind them were Eugene Field and Whitcomb Riley talking with Miss Paulson and Miss Woodard upon their respective theories 122 for dealing with children. Thom n saw Mrs. McKay wipe away a sympathetic tear. Then in accordance with the strange perversity of dreams, I saw this stately company seated upon the floor and Miss Hare was serving pumpkin pie. I knew this to be the Olympic societv. , Another unexpected shifting of the dream and there marched to strains of distant music, not three societies, but one grand company. It led them to the Olympic rooms where they enjoyed a Hnal evening together. At recess Mr. Smith proposed a snap-shot. The sudden darkness awoke me and I found myself in my own room ,but the familiar and friendly feeling which the dream gave me for many masters not well k b f ' nown e ore, will remain as long as the memory of the many happy hours spent in one of the Normal society rooms. pson Seton was telling a touching story of animal life a d I 1 'I 123 Y.

HE Young Women's Christian Association is cosmopolitan. The college association regards as eligible to mem- bership all college women, including members of the Faculty. It is a local chapter of a great World- wide movement, from which it receives an inspiration that permeates every activity. Its first purpose is to lead the students to the cultivation of high ideals of Christian womanhood, and to train them for the largest possible service while in college, and in after life. A second purpose is to strengthen the intercol- legiate tie by correspondence and visitation, and to impress upon all students their opportunity and responsibility in the conversion of students of other lands. Bible study has come to be recognized as the pivotal department of the Association. A permanent series of courses is now offered, and classes are placed under the best available leadership. It is the purpose of this department to bring the Bible to the earnest attention of every young woman, endeavoring to enlist them in systematic Bible study, and to lead them to form the habit of personal study which will continue after they have left college halls. From our religious meetings have radiated the spiritual forces that have meant much to many college women. The Sunday services have been led by local pastors, friends outside the city, and members of the Faculty. The Faculty members have been given this opportunity outside of the class room, to touch very deinitely and helpfully the lives of the young women. Through the mission study classes and missionary meetings permanentinterestin missions has been created, and gen- eral missionary iuformation has been diffused. The Association has this year supported a day school for Hindu girls at Allahabad, India. A bond of Christian fellowship and friendship is a great need of college life. The social functions of the Associa- tion have been important factors in enlarging the sympathy and strengthening the friendly interest between students. The work of the past year has had in it cause for rejoicing. The possibilities of the Association are large. We wish to see it carry its work from strength to strength, and we believe that we may, if we but recognize more fully the dynamic truth of our motto: Not by might, nor by power, but by my Spirit, saith the Lord of Hosts. 126 The Y. M. C. A. RAY E. ALLEN HERE is perhaps no organization in the college that exercises a greater influence, or has a morelfar-reaching effect than does the Young Men's Christian Association. It is an organization for men. Not only members of the Faculty and students of the college are members, but any young man of good moral standing, if he so desires, may become a member. The aim of the Association is to prevent the neglect and decline of spiritual facultiesg to increase the spiritual welfare of each individual member, and to develop noble, Christian manhood. The intellectual development of the student body is accomplished in the recitation room, the physical growth attended to in the gymnasium, but it is left to the Chris- tian Association to care for the spiritual nature and foster its growth. A very important feature of the Association's work is the courses in Bible study, of which three are offered: The Old Testament characters, The Life of Christ, and Life of Paul. These courses are very interesting, and whether studied for practical or spiritual purposes, are productive of much good. The object of the studies is to lead students to form fixed habits of systematic and daily study of Gocl's word. The Association is undenominational in character. Two Weekly devotional meetings are heldg one on Sundays, lead by members of Faculty, local pastors, or Y. M. C. A. men representing the work in other colleges and townsg and Wednesday evening prayer meetings led by students. The Bible classes meet regularly on every Sunday morning. Social gatherings are not a rare occurrence, and serve to strengthen the bonds of Christian friendship. The study of missions receives much attention, the aim of this department being to stimulate and increase the interest in this broad Held of work. The Y. M. C. A. aims to leave an impression upon every man who identies himself with the organization, by helping to build noble character and to attain the highest Christian perfection. 127 Y. M. C. A.

The nucleus of the new society is the Normal Choir which has been in existence since the beginning of the school, but the membership now includes a large number of citizens of Ypsilanti, some of Whom generously contribute their musical talents to the success of the society, and others of whom support it by their personal inliuence and their liberal patronage. The new interest in musical matters that has thus been aroused is such that the prospects are bright for even greater musical triumphs than have crowned the notable Work of the Normal Choir and its most elficient director, Professor F.H.Pease, in the past. By Commencement time four entertainments will have been given by the society. The first one, early in the year, was a request programf, made up entirely of the compositions of Professor Peaseg The Banner of St. George, by the celebrated English composer, Edward Elgar, was offered for the second concert. Later comes Sul1ivan's 'iGolden Legend, with the soloists-Mrs. Jennie Osborne Hannah, soprano, Mrs. Marshall Pease, contraltog Mr. Alfred A. Shaw, tenorg Mr. Fred Ellis, bass, and the Cincinnati Orchestra. During the last week of the year occurs the Com- mencement Concert. 131 Fraternities FRANCIS L. D. GOODRICH HEN college life has passed into the yesterdays of experience and much that We strove so hard to learn has :EY V VH Q . . 1 . . W . . . . bl it Al ' t Q been forgotten some things will shine out of the darkening past like stars 1n the imperishable depths of the heavens. Some of these perhaps are failures which marked the beginning of an upward stepg a very few are successes, but for the most part they are disconnected events, a teacher who has exerted a strong influence, a social pleasure, a friendship. For the fraternity man, the Greek,,' many of these stars of college life will cluster about his fraternity. h The fraternity stands for a more extensive life, better scholarship, closer friendship, purer ideals, and can more nearly achieve this higher plan because of the co-operation of its members. When several men are striving for the same end, whether in a foot race or in the race of life, a faster pace is set, the course is more successfully run than when one is toiling on alone. So in the fraternity a community spirit is engendered which inspires the stronger to more deter- mined effort and lifts the weaker to a broader outlook and freer course. A Besides developing this cornmonalty of interest, this larger life of the group. the fraternity also calls into being the more perfect individual. Each man is expected to do his best in every activity of the college,be it the athletic held, the class room, or in social circles, for his own honor and the honor of the fraternity. Moreover, the daily intimate association of the members is a strong power in developing character. Nothing but genuineness is tolerated, and any imperfections are rubbed out. Sometimes the process of correction is painful, but the result is a broader manhood. Each fraternity stands for something definite to its members and to the community, it may be scholarship or athletics or social prestige, but all make for a broader life and a nobler manhood. . 132 N fZf Aj QV! fb Kappa Phi Alpha Patron PROE.

PEARL LILLY side the best of W.l'1lCl'l.tl16l1'1Cl1X7lClL'lZll is capable especially those qualities that are sometimes felt to be more inherent in men than in women, as loyalty, generosity and large-heartedness. The benefits most often attributed to the sorority are social and scholastic, but in reality these are but the outward expression of the deepest meaning of the fraternal spirit, which underlies all true fraternity or sorority life. Loyalty is the keynote of this spirit, strengthening not only the individual relations of fellow-members, but expressing itself equally in all of the other relations of the sorority member to college life. Large bodies of people, for whatever purpose their organization, find it expedient and necessary to Work through small groups. In great educational institutions this has many peculiar advantages, which have found expression in clubs, societies, and leagues, generally formed for one speciic purpose, as debating, athletic, or purely social develop- ment. The individual student cannot stand in close relation to the several hundreds, who are his classmates, still less to the thousands, who may he his schoolmates. His intimate association with the small group enables him to cultivate his friendships among the student body, and more frequently to come into personal contact With the governing body, which is the surest way to keep his ideals high and clear, and to feel himself of some service as a ruernber of his group. He would be quite lost as a single individual, and this sense of service and responsibility are in turn constantly urged upon him by his associates. In all college groups this is felt, and it is the corner-stone of the fraternity and the sorority. Differing of necessity in many details of organization, the sorority seeks always the high and noble in life, and the evergrowing chain of membership links the graduate member to the active member and so strengthens the loyalty and interest of the absent in the Alma Mater. HE sorority fills a place in collegelife different from that of any other organization, in aiming to develop on every 140 'X , A-.A ,a --L- A 67: -'-, ---, , j ' f' ,M-HY-i'G1 'w i I if 'E Llp f if K-it Ltr X J ' ff ff !?f'fii r9iQL,,. f 'U ffl X ' .Zigi fn .

Cheney, Washingtori 152 153 Athletics ALBERT A. GRAHAM Q THLETICS in any educational institution stimulate college spirit among the students and foster a love for their Alma Mater among the men who represent her in the various games. Especially can this be said of the athletic ' work in the Normal. Never before in the history of the college has there existed a greater pride in our institu- tion or a greater enthusiasm in athletic work than has existed this year. 0ur football team, though losing the earlier games, was so cheered on by the enthusiastic N orrnalites that a deter- mination to win was born in the hearts of the men on the team. As a result they were very successful in the games played later in the season. Much of their efficient work can be attributed to Coach Forest. When our team went to Hillsdale, over a hundred Normalites accompanied them, and gave proof by their lusty cheering and enthusiastic singing, that a healthy college spirit existed at the Normal. The only fault Hillsdale boys found with the Normal girls was- They are too confoundedloyalf' The basketball team was very successful in its work on the home floor, but was handicapped by poor gymnasiums when playing away from home. All the men appreciate the excellence of our gymnasium. In baseball our hopes for a victorious' team are very strong. They have already defeated our old rival, Hillsdale, by a score of 13 to 6 and give indication of being able to vanquish the other college teams. King Cole is a fine coach, and popular with the baseball men. A familiar song on the field:- A preacher comes to bat, And Morgan says 'what's that?' He throws three strikes, The preacher hikes, And that's the end of that. Every Norxnalite appreciates the hearty support of the faculty, especially the kindly interest of our president. The financial support of the State has placed the Normal athletics on a firm basis, and we are now looking forward to our new athletic field. 154 1 W WE EEE pg-, W e 5 , 5 Et .

IRENH CRAYVFORD Y, As the special train left Ypsi, On that Well-remembered day, Two hundred thirteen Normal rooters Floated Hags and banners gay. Gave our yells for Normal Ypsi, To our team were ever trueg Normal students such as we were Well might Wear red, White and blue. Passed the cities and the hamlets, Ate our lunches on the train, Met by President Jones at Lansing, Yelled for him with might and main. As we marched up through the city Lansing people looked amazedg Never such a sight had met them And it left them almost dazed. We took possession of the Capitol In the governor's chair we sat, Called a special legislature To see what they were at. 172 Climbed the highest dome in Lansing, Listened to ancestral lore, Saw with pride the tattered emblems Used through many a bloody War. Then our hearts were nlled with sorrow, Many were the murmured sighs, As we visited little children With closed curtains o'er their eyes. Next We visited the Reform School, Then from there to M. A. C., Where the students of that college Entertained right royally. After supper came the climax, M. A. C. tried hard to win, And they proved that, although farmers, They could elocute like sin. And, although we were defeated, Proud were we of our home threeg And the spirit of our cheering Turned defeat to victory. Last of all came the reception, XVhich We all enjoyed so well, Then we said good-bye to Lansing VVith our own old Normal yell. 173 College Yells and Songs NORMAL YELL Hip-zoo! Rah-zoo! Quis-Qui!

And this was after the hour of ' the chapel on the third day of the week. For it had come to pass on that same day and at that same hour that the king had arisen and spoken, saying: Behold, at one time there was a certain teacher, a strong man, who placed upon a high book-case all those who wrought disorder under him. And these wordssank deep into the hearts of the Seniors. ' And behold they bandedthemselves together. On the second floor near the statue which is called, Diana banded they themselves together and hurled themselves against the tribe of Juniors. And one, Shafer, he of the curled locks, who was known as the mighty leader of the Juniors, him did the Seniors place high upon a wardrobe. This did the Seniors through the power of a mighty principle, which principle is called suggestion And likewise it came to pass that one Herald, a Junior, flung his strong arm across the shoulder of a man, which man stood near him. And he looked, and lo, it was the king who was called Jones. And Herald grieved sorely and was sore abashed. Likewise Reinhold of the Seniors did blindly attack this same king, whereat the king turned and thrust him who was called Reinhold under the railing which surrounds the statue called Diana, and spake unto him, saying, Verily, verily, this is enough. And Reinhold answered nothing, being for the time as one dumb. After this, also, it came to pass that there was one mighty even as Goliath, with locks shorn after the manner of the Dutch. And his name was Wiggers. This same man did make war upon one, Katz, the head of whom came merely to the shoulder of the mighty one. Whereat, he who was called Katz, seized the mighty Wiggers and hurled him down to the lower story-head first hurled he him. And Wiggers fell and struck a young damsel, the name of whom to this day is unknown. And behold, when all this had come to pass, the king lifted up his voice and spake, saying, Behold now, even now is the time to cease. Let not the tribes of Juniors and Seniors again make war against each other till the next time. And it was so, even as he said. 176 DR . DANIEL PUTNAINI 177 '03 Oct. Oct. Oct. Oct.

FRANK SHOWl:RMAN, Jeweler fContinued from page 1873 the Juniors expecting a bloody battle with the Seniors organized their rank and hle for a desperate struggle. With Freshies and Sophs as leaders, the whole assem- bly went down stairs in battle array, each one feeling a particular pride in their digniied president. When they reached the statue they found, to their relief, not a Senior in sight. With true college spirit all the Juniors gathered round the statue and gave nine rahsil for their beloved president. The classic halls rang with Junior cheers for a- Senior. Sad to say, it was not until the next day that the Juniors wandering about the campus were at last miraculously impressed with the fact that the green- ness of the grass was 'only a reflection of their own august selves. The following letter was found by a member of the Aurora Board near the statue on the first floor of the main building, where the owner must have dropped it: , Dear Miss MCN - a - -If I had knowed that you had went I would have come and sawed you off.

Mr. ReShore 189 Wie Leading Hotel THE AURORA BOREALIS POLITICAL OUTLOOK FOR 1904 As election draws nigh people begin to wonder what the political outlook is. There are two strong parties in the field, headed by candidates Whose theories are in perfect harmony with the platform of the party which they represent. The VVoman's Suffrage Party could not Gnd a candidate who is more in sympathy with the spirit of their party than Franklin C. S. Wortley 81 Co. Pierce. Ever since Mr. Pierce has been old enough to be interested in anything he has been interested in the ladies, Considering this fact the party did a very judicious thing when they chose as candidate for vice-presi- dent, Albert Graham, another admirer of the ladies and an ardent supporter of their rights. The Extremists have likewise been exceed- ingly fortunate in the choice of their candi- dates. Frank Kruse is a man who aspires to great heights and commands a broad view of affairs. He is a man to whom all may look up. Should his views FINE CLOTHING FURNISHINGS TAILORING become too etherial for the well-being of the administra- tion We feel sure that the vice-pres., Herbert Holmes, will call him down to earth again.
