EIIJHPZ gratulated in having for its president a man splendidly equipped by nature, training, and experience as L. H. Jones. It would seem that every moment of his career has been preparing him for the suc- cessful administration of tl1e greatest institution for the training of teachers in the Middle West. Graduating from the State Normal School at Oswego, N. Y. at a time when that institution was the recognized leader in elementary education. he was immediately employed as one of its reg- ular instructors. However, a craving for a better and deeper knowledge of natural science soon took him to Harvard University, where he received further inspiration for his life work from the famous Agassiz. Upon leaving Harvard he took charge of the department of science in the Indiana State Normal School at Terre Haute, Indiana. The character of his work at this place so attracted the attention of the authorities at Indianapolis that Mr. Jones was soon invited to identify himself with the educational interests of this city. It was here that his life work really was begun-at first in the high school, next as principal of the training school, and then as superintendent of the city system, forga period of ten years-by which he was enabled to work out his theories of education to such an extent that the schools of this city were recognized by the best critics of the country as standing for all that is good in educational theory and practice. Dr. Rice in his famous articles writ- ten for The Forum, after visiting thirty-six of the great school systems of the United States, unhesitatingly placed the Indianapolis schools at the head. It was here, too, that ward politics were relegated to the background and the HE Michigan State Normal College is to be con- . . . . so superintendent of schools became so in fact as well as in name. His greatest work here being accomplished, the city of Cleveland, Ohio, presented its claims to the services of our distinguished educator. It was here that Mr. .Tones was destined to occupy a position unique in the history of modern education. He was elected to the superintendency in this city on the same basis as judges are appointed to the Supreme Bench. His power was absolute in so far as the employment or dismissal of teachers was concerned and he exercised entire control over courses of instruction and methods of presenting subject matter. Such power as this could not go entirely unopposed. Politicians were loathe to give up their hold on the school system for purposes of patronage.. The law in itself was not perfect. But it was here that one of the greatest experiments in school admin- istration was to be worked out. Mr. Jones devoted him- self untiringly to this task for a period of eight years and what he did in Cleveland has borne fruit in not less than a score of our greatest American cities. The State Normal College was known to have had designs on the services of President .Tones even during his residence in Indianapolis, and five years ago, almost with- out hope of his accepting, our State Board -of Education offered him the Presidency of the Normal College. To the great satisfaction ofall he is now with us, and has just been re-elected for another term of Eve years. In addition to his active school work, he has been a member of the National Educational Association since 1872 and a member of the National Council of Education since 1888. In the meantime he has served the association as President of the Department of Superintendence and as a member of the notable Committee of Fifteen. He has always been closely identified with local and state associa- tions and has taken a leading part in shaping educational policies. What he has done since coming to Michigan is best told by the unprecedented growth of the institution which he serves, the loyalty of the State Board of Education, the faculty and the entire student body. Few men combine the rare qualities of the philosopher, the scholar, the administrator and the gentleman that are found in our President. He is a man at whose handsteveryone receives justice. His courtesy and sympathetic attitude toward every question make him the conident and trusted friend of all. Long may our college continue under his adminis- tration. Vo John C. Stone lgrufvannr Ilnhn Ol. Shine dedicating this volume to some worthy member of the faculty whom it is desired to honor, the choice this year has fallen upon John C. Stone, Associate Professor of Mathematics. Professor Stone was born forty years ago on a farm near Albion, Ill. He worked on the farm and went to a country school until he was sixteen and in 1887, at the early age of seventeen, began his career as teacher in the rural and village schools of Illinois. He continued in this work for eight years and then, feeling the need of higher education, went to the University of Indiana. By strenuous application he was able to finish the four- year course in two and one half years and after grad- uation was invited to remain as Instructor in Mathematics. At the close of that year he took the A. M. degree and the following autumn became head of the Department of Mathematics and Physics in the high school 'of Elgin, Ill. He remained there but one year, being elected in 1898 head-master in Mathematics and Physics in the Lake Forest Academy, a position which lie filled until 1900, when he came to the Michigan State Normal College as OLLOWING a precedent of many years standing of Assistant Professor of Mathematics, being later made Associate Professor. Since his connection here he has added greatly to his reputation, and no less to the fame of this institution by his excellent series of mathematical text-books, which are favorably known the country over. This is abrief summary ofa busy and successful life which is not yet at full tide, but gives promise of greater achievements yet to come. We find in it a combination which is sure to lead to successg the combination of innate talent with a willingness and a boundless capacity for hard work. Many teachers fail through a lack of ability, or a lack of industry. Professor Stone has shown what can be accomplished by the union of industry and ability, and his career should be a useful lesson and an inspiration to every young and ambitious teacher. Professor Stone is a prime favorite with the students. Combined with an intensely nervous and energetic dis- position, they have discovered a kind and generous heart, and an eager readiness to assist the man who is doing his best. He has been heard to observe that a teacher's heart should be as big as a foot ball, and the students say that his is well up to that standard. f'?-E, Daniel Putnam Er. Banivl ntnam prepare a short article on the life and work of Dr. Daniel Putnam, there came a revival of the memories of his influence, class room incidents, personal characteristics, and a score of events connected with his successful career that have exerted a power in shaping the characters of thousands of students who have been con- nected with him. Because of his pure and simple life, Dr. Putnam still lives in the hearts of his colleagues, his friends and his students. He still lives because of his pure and sweet character, his rich and rare scholarship, and his exceeding power as a teacher. He possessed the ability to form char- acter as he imparted knowledge. I knew him for many years and had the privilege and opportunity of seeing all sides of his character, as he grew into power of manhood and declined into ripened age, and the reader of the Aurora can do no better than to pause a moment in his work and learn a lesson from the life of this good and rare man. The soul's immortality consists, in part at least, of the memories of the expressions of the life, in the words spoken and in the deeds done. Because of his poems, the poet never diesg the painter's pictures will convey the message of the artist through all generations, and the thought expressed in the exquisite carving is communicated to everyone through all the ages. The soul lives and speaks after life-when the spirit has joined God. For has not that soul by means of pen or brush or chisel or word. become something material, which in turn may be trans- formed through the lives of others, into eternal influences EAR AURORA:-With your letter asking me to and forces. Dr. Putnam was such an artist. As he, from day to day, during all the years of his service in the Normal Col- lege, came in contact with the best young life of the state of Michigan, his soul came in contact with that of the student, a responsive chord was touched, and a life was changed. This student, in turn as a teacher, has formed other souls-and thus the influence has grown. Will it ever cease ? Dr. Putnam was a man of sterling worth and character. His strong and pleasing personality impressed one of this. As we met from day to day, I could feel the power which he always held in reserve. He stood for good things and in the face of all opposition would stand for right and jus- tice. He was a christian gentleman of the grandest type. No one can ever forget the sweet benediction of his prayer in chapel, or the graciousness of his manner and sincerity of purpose in his daily life. I was always impressed with the breadth of his scholar- ship. But fewmen had read more widely than he, nor had used this knowledge more extensively as a means of retine- ment and culture. He was a student of a type who, taking one thing ata time, by patient investigation, soon comes to be a master of it. His knowledge of the school affairs of Michigan made him an authority, while his contributions to philosophy and pedagogy stand as lasting monuments to his learning and industry. He was a great teacher. He was great in his chosen profession because of the remarkable power which he pos- sessed of inspiring his student to do something worthy, and then he put heart into his teaching. In his classes there was always an absence of a dead formality so characteristic of new knowledge getting, but you felt the presence of the true teacher. The testimonies of thousands of his students would speak in one accord with this and I doubt not but that he did more to shape the teaching methods in the pub- lic schools than any other man. Dr. Putnam was a man of loyalty. He was always loyal to his religion and his church. He was loyal to the school, his colleagues and his students. He was loyal to his state and city, and, above all, he stood loyally all through his life' for the uplift of humanity, the good of mankind, christian scholarship, true moral character and the nobility of teaching, believing that only through educa- tion is it possible for man to come to a realization of the perfect harmony of the good, the beautiful and the true. As such, I knew and loved Dr. Putnam, and it is my conviction that the readers of my letter, who were fortunate enough to have been associated With him, would gladly subscribe to these sentiments and sign their name to my letter as Hrs FRIEND I 5- X..f K , + wx-f'-'-5 fgif I 4 , Q rt, Nl 3, 1 f I 'x- fWWff iw ,fi f' U .iQ A ,jr- ,,.- ,f i Tf 1 V fa t N S Q X iff?

Uhr i-'vruinr Gllaaa nf 121117 - 9 7 UJ HE Senior Class of 1907, noted for its uprightness of character, its loyalty to its ry . QI' 'WD' Alma Mater, its excellent scholarship, and I 'Sig its success in all its undertakings, is well ERN nc Worthy of its name and position. We, as 4 a whole, entered this college inspired with high ideals and with a determination to carry them out. Although the fruits of our labors are yet to be realized, still We feel that our preparation has been such that, with diligence and persistence, we cannot help but reach the goal for which we have been striving. We have had unwonted success in base-ball and foot- ball. The foot-ball team has not lost a game this year. You ask me why this superiority over other teams? Plainly because most of the players are Seniors. Of course you have observed, as Winners in Oratory and De- bate, we have been in the majority. Then our Chapel day! Wasn't it glorious? How intensely interesting it Was! So much so that, despite its length, no one was weary. Taking it all in all, the achievements of the class of 'O7 have, from beginning to end, conformed to a high standard. the standard typiiied by the regalness of their colors, purple and gold.

The Michigan State Normal College, recognizing the fact that the leading public school systems of the state would soon add this work and give it an important place with other subjects, established a de- partment of Domestic Science and Art in the autumn of 1903. Miss Annette F. Chase of Pratt Institute, was placed in charge of the department. During the first year the work was confined to the grades of the Training School, with the exception of a class of Normal students who took the work without credit. In the fall of 1904 the first speci- alizing class of Normal students to the number of twelve began the course. At the close of this year, Miss Chase, who had endeared herself to faculty and students alike, was called back to her Alma Mater as one of the regular faculty members. Notwithstanding this great loss, the Normal College was exceptionally fortunate in its choice of Miss Grace Fuller, another Pratt graduate, who took up the work where Miss Chase had left it. Miss Sara Godard also carne into the department, as assistant, during her senior year as a student. It was at this time that the pres- ent class of sixteen members began its work. In the fall of 1906, a junior class of thirty-four mem- bers entered upon this course of study. So rapidly did the department grow, that it became necessary to add two as- sistants for the present year. Miss Zayda Fish, of the class of '06, and Miss Ann C. Wright, of Pratt Institute, were the ones chosen. What the future holds in store for us no one knows, but that the work of our graduates is bound to redect credit upon their Alma Mater, and thus give an ad- ded impetus to the growth of the department is not open to doubt. Already, plans are being laid for a new building, where expansion may take place and the 'best equipment may be available for the use of future classes. 2 AM Q ' f N I , an in 4n?Xf X il, 1' ! ,,,Jx f E X ' gf: fl 1 Qi sg, ff' X f I V U , IVV4 N -u 1 ' Q, il l Y. 411 35: , 'mr',, U 1 i 1 fi L L5 . 1 , Q Ki 3 diva Mace l.Boawclma.n, Supervnaor' E ste Ha.

It is an institution excelled by few in theory and academic training, and is ably sustained by an efficient faculty. Many of its graduates have attained marked dis- tinction in the musical World. Together with the Conservatory, one must consider the Normal Choir, which is composed of over tvvo hundred voices. It is a study to Watch the moulding into a trained and artistic chorus of this body, the majority of Which, be- ginning in the fall, is made up of inexperienced singers. But when the time for the annual concerts approaches an outsider would find it diihcult to believe that this organi- zation had sung together less than one year. The first concert of this year took place on March eleventh, at which time was given Rossini's Stabat Mater and Humper- dink's Pilgrim to Kevlaar, the Chicago Symphony Orchestra assisting. Needless to say, the concert was a marked success in every possible way. The .Tune concert is scheduled for .Tune seventeenth, at which time Julian Edward's The Redeemer, Elgar's The Banner of St. George and 'iThe Challenge of Thor are to be given. Someone might ask, Who is responsible for these musical advantages and successes? None other than that grand gentleman-a man among men and a musician among musicians, whose best and untiring efforts have made the Conservatory, and music in and about Ypsilanti What it isg Whose every Normal Choir Concert has scored hirn a tri- umph, Whose personality and inliuence commands the greatest respectg and with whom and for Whom it is rare opportunity and pleasure to work-Professor Frederic H.

SQ, g Bears? 011515525 ACH year the State Normal College sends out an army of graduates, and each year a small corn- pany of them returns for the purpose of pursu- ing advanced lines of Work. It is their thirst for knowl- edge that lures them back to college halls. The degree class is permeated with the university spirit and stands for agressive Work and high scholarship. As a class it is rather modest andunassuming in college activities, but its inliuence is felt through the abilities of its individual members. Several members of the faculty add to the dignity of this year's class. The students who have taken degrees here have demonstrated the high quality of the Work done. Many of them are now 'filling important positions in this and other states, and those who have gone to other institu- tions of learning have Won laurels for themselves and their Alma Mater. Let us hope that the Degree Class of 1907 will continue to hold up the high standard. Zlnninr. Eegrnr 0112155 PREsIDENT-Carroll F. Banghart, Psychology ana' Educationg Webster.

Search the Normal every- . where and you will not find a Junior who is not proud of the fact, for our class has made an enviable record. We have taken a prominent part in every phase of college life and have invariably excelled whenever in competition with other classes. Class activity began early. Tho we came to Ypsilanti strangers to one another, our common interests soon brought about the organization of the Junior Class of 1908. For- tune smiled upon us from the beginning and early in the year a loyal class spirit was manifested. When the haughty Wise men of '07, undertook to carry off our newly elected president, the attempt was futile-decidedly futile. The annual color struggle, too, was C1 decided junior victory, for our daring boys succeeded in putting the colors high on the Hagstaff, where they may be seen to this day. The Juniors won in the two indoor meets, which took place about the middle of the year, and laid claim to a rare victory. The victory of the Junior girls secured the beauti- ful Brabb cup for the class of 'O8. The defeat of the more athletic Senior and Degree classmen by Junior boys was hardly less remarkable. That the Juniors have been first in every phase of col- lege life is proved again by the efficiency of the class in oratory, First place in the oratorical contest was not to be won by the Juniors because the strongest orator of last year was again contesting, but a certain small Junior girl, thru her pluck and talent, won second place for the class. And in spite of the fact that one big giant and several other Hgiants were participants in the 'dnal debating contest, the receiver of the beautiful gold medal and tirst place on the debating team was no other than a Junior boy. The Junior class is the one future event. In spite of its many pursuits, the class has not neg- lected the social side of life. The Junior newspaper party was original from start to tinish. Over two hundred Juniors, arrayed in Very unique costumes, enjoyed the publishing of a class paper, and later, those who wished, indulged in the art that made Terpsichore famous. If the past record of our class is any basis for judg- ment, the Junior's reception to the Seniors will star far above all social events known in the history of the Normal. We will grant that there may be something in being a Senior, but the fact that another year can be spent with our classmates, that we can for another year inbibe the noble sentiments and be spurred onward by the high ideals of those who have done so much to elevate teaching as a pro- fession, is a privilege greater than that which can come from wearing the purple and gold. Our class, as shown by its extraordinary record, has every reason to be proud of its colors, its motto, and its achievements. ' A. O. A., 'O8.

The Hands faced the Head. Which would be master-the old question, which is for- ever presenting itself. Something like this happens when the student begins workin a college library. The student has not yet tried his powers. Before him are the tremendous forces locked up in the quiet rows of volumes about him. Which shall conquer in the struggle for mastery? The books have terrible odds in their favor. Will they prove an overmatch for the untrained youth? Yet the student's road to victory is a plain one, it he but remem- bers that these seried ranks of learning have again and again found their con- queror. The problem of the use of books is the problem alike of master and student, of professor and librarian. The professor and librarian illustrate the two kinds of knowledge as classified by Dr. Johnson, To know a thing, and to know Where to ind a thing, and the function of the col- lege library is to be the central point whence the student through knowledge may acquire wisdom. Each library through its administration must meet its individual problem. In the Normal College library the keynote has always been the word of authority, of the President: Give first, the best personal service to the student. Following this, a system of library instruction has developed, Which, through practical reference work on on the part of a large number of students, adds great strength to the regular library staff. Through individual work with the young student, he is enabled quickly to learn how to use the library, and if he so elects, himself may become a library assistant. It is felt that there is a growing effectiveness in literary research in the Normal library, and a more appreciative affection for books, which marks the difference between the workshop and the ideal library, The world's sweet inn from care and wearisome turmoil.

Its sub-organizations are the same as those of last year: The Crescent, Olympic and Atheneum literary societies, and the Lincoln, Webster, Portia and Minerva debating clubs. The first great contest of the year was the one in oratory, held in Normal Hall, December 15, 1906. The entries were as follows: Harold E. Williams, Miracle Workersug Carrie Barnard, Are We Retrogradingng Theodore Flintoff, Our Nation's Destiny , George Miller. Americans for America , A. Saunders, Julius Caesar , Allison J. Flint, David Livingston. The winners were Williams. Barnard and Flintoff. Harold E. Williams represented the Normal College at the state inter-collegiate Oratorical contest, held at Hills- dale. March 1, 1907. His oration was a masterpiece, and his delivery excellent, but in the eyes of the judges even these were useless. However, he stood high in the lists, and did credit to the organization and institution which he represented. The final debating contest took place in Normal Hall, Mar. 17, '07, with the following entries: J. Milton Hover, L. W. Weber, W. E. Olds, Glenn Grieve, Alex Mac- Donald, and H. B. Lamport. Hover, Weber and Olds won out, and on May 17 met the Agricultural College team in joint debate. The Normal men defended the affirmative of the question, Resolved, that a progressive inheritance tax should be levied by the federal government, constitutionality conceded. By a vote of two to one, the decision went to the Agricultural College. After a year of no victory, but of noble effort, the Oratorical Association Ends its component parts closer knit, and more firmly determined, in defeat, than ever before in victory. Such spirit, in such an organization, can lead only to success in the future. Cbrainriral Glnntvntantn Harold Williams Carrie Barnard Theodore Flintoff George Miller A. J.

The earlier methods, however, have not passed away. Men still talk to each other, face to face, and ora- tory and public debate still play a large part in the affairs of modern life. Some efficiency in public speaking is to be desired by every college man. The Webster Club was organized seven years ago, for the purpose of aiding the young men of this college to acquire skill in debate and public discussion of present day problems, and during these years it has been a potent factor in the intellectual life of the college. -NE would naturally suppose that in the age of news- Under the guidance of the efficient critic, Mr. B. F. Pittenger, the Work of the club during the past year has been especially gratifying to the members. Milton Hover, aWebster man, won Hrst place in the final debate, and several members have taken prominent places in debating and oratorical contests. , The standards of the club are those which make forthe highest ideals of manhood and citizenship. The members are always men who stand for scholarship, culture and high moral character, and it is these standards which will con- tinue to make the Webster Club a power for good, not only among the student body, but in the world at large. mvhatier Bvhating Qlluh Ql?ffirm'5 Fall Quarter Winter Quarter GEO.

Through this effort the men of this club became bound together by firm ties of friendship and of love for the College. It is no exaggeration to state that the training one receives in a good debating club is of more real value than any one course one may pursue in his college work. Par- ticularly does this hold true with teachers, who are so often called upon to speak on various occasions. Besides acquiring the ability to speak in public with ease and clearness, one gains an insight into the great NOTHER gem has been added to the crown of events of the day. Thus he becomes a more intelligent. The earnestness with which the members of the Lin- coln Debating Club entered the work this year and the skill acquired can best be appreciated when we consider that two of our members gained second and third places in the final debate and thus won the cup for the club. The crowning feature of the year was the First Annual Banquet, held on Tuesday, March 19. At that festivity the real merits of the year's work were made manifest by those who responded to toasts, and by the Hrm feeling of brotherhood that was so apparent among the members. May the future history of the Lincoln Debating Club give evidence of a larger growth in the standard that its members have always maintained,-that of high moral character, scholarship, and loyalty to the College that is worthy of their love. . and useful citizen. -MCD.

Its purpose is to give its members an opportunity to become familiar with parliamentary law and to acquire the ability to debate upon stated subjects, discuss current events, report on topics assigned, deliver orations, etc. The work for the past three years has been zealously carried on by energetic students, who have endeavored to make the club one of the educational factors of the State Normal College. .

The goddess, Athena, in honor of whom the society was named, stood for wisdom and learning, likewise the Atheneum stands for intellectual development and culture. The success of a society depends upon its members -the interest they take in the work and their willingness to do their share. The Atheneum is justlv proud ofthe work done by her sons in oratory and debate. Among those who have distinguished themselves along these lines are Theodore Flintoff, William Olds, Lorne Weber, Har- old Lamport and Alexander Mac Donald.

She has just reason to be proud of the record which her members have made, both in debate and oratory. , By winning first place in the final debate, J. Milton Hover secured the honor of leading the college team which was to battle so royally with M. A. C. for the champion- ship, while another of our members, George B. Miller, made a splendid showing in the nnal oratorical contest. Nor were the girls of the society to be outdone. The second prize in oratory was won by Carrie Barnard, the only lady participant in the contest, and a representative of this society. We would not have you think, however, that the entire time of the Crescent Society is devoted to such mental gymnastics as debate and oratory. The past year has per- haps been as marked for the successes achieved in a social way as for any other. Our meetings have been exception- ally well attended, especially the first one of the winter quarter, where we were given the rare treat of a ine musi- cal program by members of the conservatory. The night of February irst will be long remembered by Crescent members because of the sleigh ride indulged in by the society. Three merry loads of young people enjoyed a ride through the city, while the streets resounded with college yells and songs given to the accompaniment of sleigh bells. i Perhaps the most unique and interesting feature of the year, however, was the program given exclusively by the boys. The superiority of this over other programs caused the girls to wonder how such genius could have been so long concealed. The meeting was a howling successn in all respects and the boys are to be congratulated. With the close of this year, many of our members will go forth in broader fields of usefulness, but we know that the improvement derived from this society, the friendships formed, and the good times enjoyed here, will ever remain among their brightest memories of college life.

Since this is the tenth anniversary year of the Shakespeare Club it is but natural that we, its members, should pause a moment to gaze in retrospect over the past. The Club, organized in 1897 with twenty-three charter members, has always been regarded as one of the leading circles in the Normal. Its main purpose has been to give its members the culture derived from a critical study of the drama. This past year the chosen plays were: The Twelfth Nightf, and 'lCymbeline, the former being particularily interesting, since just prior to our study we saw the Ben Greet Co.'s portrayal of it. , The Shakespeare Club has always been social in char- acter. We have spent the time after the lesson twice a month in a general good time. Especially are we indebted to Prof. Lather's hospitality for one of the most enjoyable evenings of the year. The Hsterneru members have been true to the vows taken on bended knees, namely, to protect from the dangers of darkness, at least one of the gentler disciples of Old Bill. The latter, her cheek ready with the blush modest as morning, has always accepted such protection 'lin any conveyance whatsoever, be it wheelbarrow or hand-sled. Although Cupid is in our midst, as yet no two hearts beat as one. Nevertheless, there is a general good fellowship reigning. Thus far the Club has been a success, and it is to be hoped there will be greater heights reached in the future than have been attained in the past.

The regular devotional meetings have been of such a character as to shed a deep and far-reaching influence upon the college girls. Beside the Wednesday evening meetings which are led by the Association members, the Sunday services in which local pastors, friends from outside the city, and members of the Faculty speak to us have been a means of acquainting us with the experience of others older in His service and bringing us into a more personal relationship with our teachers. Bible study is one of the most momentous phases of the Association work. This year several courses for the study of the Life of Christ have been offered, and the classes have been placed under the best available leader- ship. These courses have been very interesting as well as highly instructive in showing the members the Value of systematic study of the Bible and in leading them to form habits of personal study which will continue long after they have gone out from under the influence of this institution. Through the missionary meetings and mission study classes a stronger sympathy with workers in foreign fields HE Young Women's Christian Association is one has been aroused, and the missionary spirit has been more widely dispersed among the members. TWO of our num- ber have joined the Student Volunteer Band. Classes for study of home missions have also done some very effective work, and thus, those who are not called to foreign fields have been shown their great opportunity for service in their own community. More than ever before, the social side of the Work has been looked after and made attractive. Many unique social functions have been given at Starkvveather Hall during the year. The annual reception for new students was held in the early part of the fall quarterg and since then the great attendance upon the i'At Homes has shown how enticing they have been. Thoughtful social workers have arranged informal gatherings to make time more agreeable to stu- dents who were unable to go home during vacations. The members of the cabinent and several committees have been delightfully entertained, and by this means they become better acquainted and more able to meet the needs of their departments of work. Through the marvelous inliuence of the social life of the Y. W. C. A. many have been brought into its circles who could not otherwise have been reached. . The work of the past year has been decidedly suc- cessful, and since the possibilities of the Association are large, We wish to see it advance steadily toward the great aim, the development of Christian character in its mem- bers. and the prosecution of active Christian work.

No one can hope to attain unto the stature of a perfect man without all three. The means used to further this spiritual growth is much the same in all college associations, where there are gym- nasium and class-room to fill their respective spheres. Bible classes, studying that miniature and most com- plete library of religious classics, gain an outlook upon life ten-fold more broad than can be obtained anywhere elseg for there they learn to see the guiding hand of an all- wise Father, not only in the history of those so-called Chosen People, but even as much in the events of this present day world. And more than that, they come to recognize the fact that christianity is not a mere matter of creeds or beliefs, but of living again, in faith and love, the life of Him who come to show us the Father. Instruction and inspiration for practical, every-day Christian living is found by all who attend the Sunday afternoon services, addressed, as they are, by men and womenwho have journeyed farther on the way, and can thus give help from their greater experience. In the quiet informality of the Wednesday evening prayer meetings, soul holds communion with soul, as one and all tell of how they have met life's victories and defeats. To be a student at the Michigan State Normal College, and not be an active member of the Y. M. C. A., is to admit that life is one-sided and narrow, and its opportuni- ties for happiness and service limited. Huang illllvnii Glhriuiian Awanritrtiun 0Pftirvr5 PRESIDENT-Floyd L.

The differ- ent teams of the year have been uniformly successful and what is more, athletics of all kinds have found themselves on a Hrrner basis than ever. There has been work in practically all kinds of athletics during the year, foot- ball, baseball, basketball, track, tennis and handball each coming in for their share in the honors. The ath- letic council started out the beginning of the year to remedy all defects, if any, in the management of this important phase of college life and to make all additions necessary to build up the athletics of the Michigan State Normal College to a grade superior to that in all the institutions of learning in the state, excepting possibly the University of Michigan. This standard may be said to have been reached by three steps-clean athletics, a capable coach, successful teams. ' Athletics at the Normal are clean. The members of the different teams are required to comply with all the regulations which govern M. I. A. A. athletics and in addition are required to comply with the stringent rules of the institution as to scholarship, conduct and profes- sionalism. HE year that is now drawing to a close has been 'Cr 15 . . . . . . ll 'Q The athletic council last fall, in searching for a cap- able coach, came upon Henry F. Schulte of Jefferson Barracks, Missouri, who was engaged for the football season. His work with the eleven was of such a high class that he was secured to act in the same capacity with the track and base ball teams and fully bore out the con- fidence placed in him. The fame of the HTeam That Never Lost a Game has already reached much farther than will this article, but it will be well to explain to the uninformed that Schulte led his Indians through the football season with a clean record to their credit, the team downing decisively all their opponents. With practically but one veteran, Captain Brown, with which to start, the disciple of Yost evolved a team that made a name for itself all over the state and is a brilliant testimonial to the ability of the coach and the willingness and determination of the men. I The basketball team found itself thrust forward into the hardest schedule ever made for a Normal team in this branch of sport. In spite of all this, the team acquitted itself creditably and well and highly deserved all the credit and support so loyally given by the stu- dents. The girls played in hard luck all the year, but they, too, had a schedule harder than ever before. But little can be said at the time this article is writ- ten of the base ball team, as but two games have been played. For this sport, too, the schedule is harder than any Normal nine ever attempted before and in fact harder than that arranged for any other college in the state this year. Cold weather, sickness and injuries looked at first to have come to the local camp to stay, but now all the men are recovering and will soon be settled down to the kind of work that wins games. So far the outlook is a bright one and is an evidence that the institution the team represents will have another championship team. It is also too early to predict the outcome of the ten- nis team. The men have been considerably handicapped by the late spring, but for all that have been showing good form.i Three men are now looking especially good to Director Bowen and it will probably be this trio that is selected to play against the Central Normals. The men who went out for track work had a hard time of it, as nearly all the practice was confined to evenings. Despite this, the inter-class meet came off successfully, and made a nucleus that looks forward to a high-class team next year. There is probably no institution in the state where the athletic coaches have so few men to build upon as here, so this must be taken into consideration by all who have any criticism to make on the teams. The football games were this year played upon the new field and by next fall it would not be surprising if an entirely new held, sufficiently large for all forms of athletics, be set apart for that purpose. Bleachers were built this year and all efforts made to accommodate those who wished to see the games. It is difficult to introspect or to retrospect in the middle of a year. Many things have been forgotten and many things are yet unknown. It is hoped, however, that the few sentences above will give to both stranger and student a bird's-eye view of the year and a knowl- edge that athletics at the Normal are nota graft or fraud, but a recognized and essential part of a great institution like our own. - GUY C. Brown TENNIS GIRLS 31 nninr - Sneninr school year was the Junior Senior girls Indoor meet, which occurred in the gymnasium on the evening of March Sth. Preparations for the great event had been in progress for weeks, and that evening found the gymnasium taxed to its limit, nine hundred people being within its walls. The decorations for the occasion consisted of the colors of the two classesg purple and gold for the Seniors, and blue and white for the Juniors. The evening before, the result of the preliminaries had been announced and practically assured the Juniors of the victory and honor which was to fall to their class, for the Seniors, whose minds and time had undoubtedly been filled with graver subjects, had not been regular in attendance at the practices. This announcement did not daunt the Sen- iors, however, for they fought for supremacy with a determination that was highly commendable. Under the direction of Mrs. Burton, assisted by Miss Clark and the three judges from away, the following pro- gram was carried out: NE of the most interesting athletic events of the Ce J Iv. .Jx 1. NEXVCOMB GALIEZ Score 40-MV? in favor of the Juniors 2. FLYING RINGS: Score 35-2793 in favor of the Seniors 3. FIFTEEN-X'ARD DASH: Score 18-16 in favor of the Juniors 4.

Great interest and sympathy were shown by the spec - tators as the various numbers of the program were being carried out. Two numbers of great merit were the indi- vidual club swinging, and the Flying rings In these the Senior girls showed superior skill. The most amusing number was the relay race during which the peals of laughter which floated out to the passer-by must have proclaimed that something truly funny was happening inside. When the results of the various events and the final score had been announced, the Junior class manager was presented with the beautiful Brabb Cup, which bears the insigr1ia:- 4 ilirahh Gun umn hg Zluninra ilnhnur flint 1 BUY.

STEIMLE ROLAND CHAPMAN JOHN DAVIS EARL SMITH EARL ENGLE CLARENCE JOHNSON Ellie Ulrark Gram HIS year for the first time since the Normal drew out of the M. I. A. A., a track team has been organized and has held regular practice. The showing made was not particularly brilliant, nor were any records smashed, but some good, hard, consistent work was done and the nucleus for a team was started that will make a name for itself next year. The revival of track work was due to the efforts ot a number of students, who realized the necessity of the work for the men, besides its value as a sport. Coach Schulte was secured to look after the squad and his work was done in the creditable manner that is his characteristic. He was handicapped considerably, inasmuch as a number of men, who had made names for themselves in track annals else- where, were participating in other kinds of athletics at the same time. But as it was, a squad of twenty men came out regularly for practice. As the work was not started until the winter quarter, it was of necessity, indoor. The gymnasium was in use throughout the day for classes and basketball practice, so the track work was relegated to evenings twice a week, in itself a great disadvantage. Practice was given up at the beginning of the spring quarter, so as not to interfere with base ball. A very successful inter-class meet was held in March and an indoor meet was scheduled with Albion, but it was cancelled, as the Methodists had no place to practice. Arrangements have been made for a more thorough carrying on of this work next year and it will be found of inestimable value. The strongest men of this year's squad will be in college next year and in themselves will comprise a team hard to be beaten. The remarkable base running of the men on the base ball team this spring has opened the eyes of the knockers as to the value of this sort of train- ing alone, and this, too, will probably be one of the strongest advocates for the retention of the work for years to come.

ALPHA TAU DELTA iuaat Caium at this haha Ian Evita Eanquvt rm thrir fdniiiaiinn ISTEN, my friends, and you shall hear Of the donkey ride of my brothers dear- On the fourth of that month, of each year the third, Surely you all in some way have heard Of this memorable jaunt of the year. K 'Twas said in our meeting, and no doubt 'twas right, Boys, we're up against it, about Monday night, Our brother fraternities, on consideration, Have decided to give us our 'nitiationf' And truly enough, about eight o'clock, A Mufiitt and Scott, in fact all the flock, Were put thru the course, perhaps by degrees, But mostly I think, 'twas by disagrees. ' Inspired by the God of Harps, They turned their thoughts to vocal arts, And urged by slabs applied with vim They sang an entrance to the Gym. We make no point of harmony 'Tis very obvious you see That in the time of such a strain- On time, or strain there's put no strain. The first event, then, to pursue Was for each one, with much ado To tender forth, upon his knees, His love, his hope, his life, all these To simply' win a hand or two. But Cupids darts were dull that night, His arrows centered not in the white, And ne'er before in all the land Did Normal girl refuse a hand. When these beflustering acts were o'er And lemons handed by the score, They sought instinctive tenderness Imbedded in the donkeyls breast, And each, with manhood's fond embrace, Upon the donkey's lips did place- A kiss, and some a second time Upon this sumptuous feast did dine. And privately, I might say here 1 That, after such connections dear, No wonder they exerted power To have the tulip become our flower. Of course they all had honored seats And rode the donkey thru the streets. Occasionally, in vain, they tried. With flowing eloquence to win a bride. One brother up a pole was sent Upon his mission quite intent. He plead his case before the stars And won for the Moon a divorce from Mars To end this night of revelry The hazers showed true courtesy, They fed the tourists a goodly lunch And departed as friends more true and staunch. D. B. S. Ellmternitiva A frafefnity is one purpose in many minds. INCE the college fraternity is no longer in its tenta- tive stage of existence, but has become a vital force in the college World, it must be recognized as a factor of inestimable value in the college man's life. Its influences are many and far reaching, not only education- ally but socially, if the latter can be considered apart from the former. The fraternity is perhaps the greatest factor in the preservation of college customs and traditions, because of the mere fact that it is an organized body. It has a great part in forming the ideals of the new student and controls to a considerable extent the standards of the college body. The upper classrnen by advice and example mould the actions of the organization, thus keeping the younger men from thekall-too prevalent waste of college opportunities. It is not only during college life that the fraternity plays an important part, but it exerts a great influence in uniting the men in the world, often men of the greatest influence and noblest character, with the college men of the present, In this Way it sets the ideals of the undergradu- ates, and at the same time keeps the spirit and thought of the Alma Mater fresh in the hearts of the Alumni. Thus through the work of the fraternities the college best fosters good fellowship and lasting friendships, and what purpose could be more worthy, for Friendship is the only thing in the World concerning the usefulness of which all men are agreed.

Betsy Bobbit, if you hayint a bilin' down sap so airly in the mornin . I s'pose to sweeten the temper of the Deacon when the rhumatiz lays holt on him, for men think that women was made to keep them sweet. '!Sez I to Josiah this mornin', 'I haint seen Betsy fur sich a spell that I'll just drop in minit while you're at the mill, and tell her about the Junior party,' fur I know that you haiut hearn afore that me, a common meetin' house critter, an' that meechin', bald-headed pardner of mine, Josiah Allen, wuz the high moguls at the Junior party in Ypsilanty. It cum about like this: It wuz the day Josial1's speckled hen kum off with 'leven chicks, that I was settin' by the ire calmly darnin' Josiah's socks, when I heeffid H a rap on the door and riz up to open it. ' 'i'I'har stood two middlin' tall, verdant kollij dudes with their hair parted in the middle to balance what few brains they had, and one sez, sez he, 'Miss Allen, have you an engajement fur tomorrow night?' H 'Engajementf sez I, 'an' me a married woman fur forty year and more, devoted to Josiah Allenl' H 'No, no,' sez he, 'we want you and your man fur chappyrones at the Junior party.' 'Wal1, the awdashus impurtinence,' sez I, imaybe I do look like a gal, but you needn't call me a chap.' 'No, you misunderstand us,' sez he, 'we want you fur guests of honor.' 'iMe an' Josiah! Think ont! You know. Betsy, I haint much fur skylarkin' evenins, but when I approached the subject to Josiah he wuz all sot up on goin'. Soto please them elevated ambitions of his'n we desided on goin'. Next mornin' Josiah rousted me up at two o'clock an' all the live long day kep sayin', sez he, 'Haint it time, Samantha, to be gittin' reddy fur the party?' An' bless your sole, Betsy, if we wuzn't arguin' whether Josiah shud wear his pink tie when the kerridge drove up fur us an' Josiah hadn't even his boots on or his bald head brushed, I had got my frizes down an' wuz calmly waitin' fur Josiah, when, good land, if that vain man want a standin' afore the lookin' glass a brushin' that peacable, bald head of hisn and a smilin' as purty as if he wuz a kalkelatin' to visit his best gal. After considerable upsotness in nndin' Josiah's umberell, we got into the kerridge an' wuz whirled away at a prekarius rate. Whi1eI wuz a cranin' my neck to see if we wuz gettin' thar the buss door flew open, an' ies think! one of them kollij iellers took me in his arms and sot me on the jimnasuim steps right fore Josiah's eyes. The blud rushed to my cheeks fur shame, but I sez, sez I. 'Josiah, you cum alongj If it hadn't been fur your sotness on comin', we wouldn't be here makin' fools of ourselves fore these cultivated kollij crittersl' Thar wuz some Juniors at the door to meet us an', good land, Betsy! Upon my word if they wazn't dressed in paper like we put on kitchen shelves. I couldn't believe my eyes on't it hardly, and immegiately the thot cum to my mind, Supposin' them dresses should tear, as paper does, you know, wouldn't ther mothers be shocked if they knew them darters of there wuz behavin' so unwomanly. I riz right up in shockness at sich undecency with Josiah a hangin' to my arm, a lookin' dazed with that one spear of hair of his'n a standin' strait up. We h,adn't time to kollect our wits for we wuz ushered saramoniously into the resepshun room. O, sich a sight of all sights I wuz ever a specktater to! If every last one of them wimmen an' men wuzn't a cavortin' aroun', a smilin' an' a bowin' as if they wuz dressed in silks an' satins. Mind ye, Betsy, I haint approvin' of any such fash- ion, but thar wuz a lot more set to the vvimmen's dresses than that wuz to the rnen's. The n1en's looked ii they made them themselves, fur they wuz pinned on strait up and down so they had to Walk stiif jinted- like as if they hed the rhumatiz. We wuz bein' led around thru the crowd when all to wunst Josiah clutched holt on my arm an' sez he, 'Saman- tha, do look at them big white letters on the wall, 'Ham- mer it out.' I didn't know what it wuz fur or what it meant, but I sez, sez, sez I, 'I think it would be better if it wuz 'Drive em out. An' O, Betsy. I didn't tell you about thetn cozy corners they had. Just big enuf fur two, but just as sure as I am settin' in this cheer, silly cupples wuz settin' in them lookin' spooniny like. I wuz dredfully feered fur Josiah's morals in sich company. And jest think on't! One kollij feller, dressed in the red horns of Satan, had the awdashus impurtinence to shake hands with me, a member of the meetin' house. I wuz tryin' to calm myself from the experience when I riz up to see Josiah a meanderin' down the hall on the arm of wun of them kollij gals. I gin him a look that wuz squelchin', but afore I could catch my breath he wuz hob- blin' around the room with her in his arms. The agony of that site to see Josiah a losin' his religion, waltzin' aroun' on them stiff jints of hisn' an' havin' his corns stepped on, which Samanthy Allen has devotedly bathed with arniky fur the last forty years. My blud wuz so biled up that I couldn't set still any longer, so I follered him up and ketched him by that one spear of hair of his'n, an' led him out of the hall by the ear. It is needless to say that we left fur home immeg- ately at a tremendous gait, an' we didn't wait fur the kerrige nuther. Wall, Josiah Allen haint never mentioned being chappyrones at the Junior party frum that day to this. Thar comes Josiah now with the old white nag, so good-bye Betsy. MARIE B. RONAN, 'O8. ivvninr Qlhapvl Bag EDNESDAY, MARCH 6, was a day long to be remembered by the class of 1907, During the morning hours a suppressed excitement seemed to pervade the atmosphere in the class rooms, the corridors, and the library. Groupsof girls might be seen here and there, conversing quietly,-Seniors, as evidenced by the white shirt waists and knots of purple and gold ribbons. An occasional boy was seen wearing the colors or perhaps carrying them in his pocket. The forenoon wore away slowly. At last came the Hlong call for chapel. Then what a gathering was there! Many a hearty yell was given by the impatient seniors as they waited in the corridors on the second floor for the sound of the organ from above. It came, and two by two we marched into Normal Hall, 'dlling two sections of seats which had been reserved for us. Prettily decorated with the class colors, and lighted up by the golden sunshine. the old roorn seemed to welcome us with a kindlier warmth than ever before. Devotional exercises were conducted by President Jones, after which he addressed the class upon The Law of Growth. Among other things, he said: One of the most gratifying experiences that can come to any person is the sense of growing worth-of increasing eiiiciency-of broadening sympathies-of enlarging vision. A school education will well-nigh have accomplished its purpose if it creates an imperishable desire for this self-expansion. He stated that two requirements must be met, hrst, live up to the standard of present knowledgeg second, keep the mind 'open to new truth. He gave the cheerful assurance that when one has honestly done all he can, he shall sud- denly have a new vision. Another address was given by Wm. Olds, president of the class. He spoke concerning the vital subjects, opportunity, success, and failure. He said: Opportunity means a favorable occasion, time, or place for saying or doing a thing. He urged that we be awake to the oppor- tunities that come to us. To do the right thing at the right time- to do the thing that is to be done, so well that it will never have to be done again, is success. Bulwer-Lytton's Aux Italiens was beautifully re- cited by Alice Brown. The refrain, Non ti scordar di me, was echoed in the heart of many a senior as he thought of Llie lime. soon to con1e,when he must bid a long farewell to classmates and teachers. Luella Munsou's rendering of The Little God and Dickyf' was thoroughly enjoyed by all, as Were the musi- thm gg .1 . .-ef gig T Q, 'YQ ws. fr-'ffm QOQ-Us Qm f gg QQJWW if of our college days. cal selections.

Life holds for each and all of us a mission, 'Tis ours to seek, to find, to do a part, The outward acts convey some little meaning, But hidden beauty lies Within each heart. We know not but a word in kindness spoken, The one whose heart is touched may take new courage, May touch a heart with sorrow burdened down, The clouds of sorrow quickly roll away, And that in life to come it Will be treasured, To-rnorrow's sun may shine in golden splendor, And shine a diadem upon a crown.

GREEN, '07 A Qltratlr nf tlblh -VER half a century ago there ruled in the state of Michigan a very wise and noble king Home called him king of Power, to others he was known as Authority, but all recognized in him the great representa- tive of Michigan. Ever mindful of the common good of his people and always looking out for their general welfare, king Power made an excellent ruler and was loved and obeyed by his subjects. However, he had one great char- acteristic, which dominated all others, his love for educa- tion. Every spare moment he spent in the closest study and long and patiently did he strive to build up in his king- dom great centers of learning. One day he remarked to his beautiful queen: Ah, dear queen, if only we had a son, I should invite all the wise and learnedlof my kingdom to endow him with the rarest of knowledge. We would move away to some small town where, in the peacefulness of our castle home, we might watch him grow and develop into a great and noble youth and his name, his name, would be-Education. Pls PK 21 It was May-Day in the pretty, quiet town of Ypsilanti. The sun shone brightly, the birds sang merrily, and all the people rejoiced. Gay groups of laughing children, merrily swinging baskets of wild flowers in their hands, trooped joyfully through the streets, singing as they went: It Oh, was there ever a day so fine? The air is filled with bright sunshine, The robin twitters and chirps and trills, The bluebird sings in rapturous thrills, The softest, gentlest breezes blow, Each face wears a happy glow And nature, everywhere, seems to show That Spring has come. Suddenly the music ceased, as they paused in front of a castle gate. 'iHushl whispered a wee little maiden, who had pre- ceded them, hast thou heard! At last the wish of our good king has come to pass, for yon heralds have just proclaimed that in this castle there lies a little son. Our king bids all rejoice, so let us sing our gladdest song. A murmur of surprise passed through the little group. Then all burst forth in one joyous cry: Hail to the Prince of Knowledge, Hail, hail, hail! The music continued until its sweet sounds became fainter and fainter and nnally died away. Within the castle walls all was bustle and excitement, in preparation for a great feast to be held two weeks from that day. ULet there be nothing lacking which money can buy, said the king. The very rarest of dainties shall grace my board on such an occasion. Heralds, go forth, proclaim the glad news, and call all the learned of the kingdom to my castle. Turning, he entered a large darkened chamber, where a fond nurse bent lovingly over a snow-white cradle. Gently she rocked it to and fro as she softly murmured a lullaby, while the Prince of Knowledge slumbered peace- fully. :lf X at In the great hall of the castle all the learned of the land gathered about a long, heavily-laden table. Over the bounteous feast the king and queen presided joyfully, while sounds of music and revelry 'dlled the air. Finally, the feast was ended, the king arose from his seat, and a deep silence reigned over all. A few moments elapsed, when at one end of the hall a door opened slowly and a nurse entered, bearing in her arms the little prince. Cau- tiously she approached the king and queen and laying the child in its mother's arms, retired. HMy kind and noble guests, said the king in a cor- dial voice, you are all aware that I have invited to my castle those whom I know to be the wisest in my land. in order that they may give to my son all those choice gifts of learning, which shall make him worthy of his name, Education. It is their privilege to name the instructors who wilvl aid in the development of the gifts they confer, which instructors will be sent to this castle, where Educa- cation will live and grow. Your Majesty, said the nrst guest, kneeling before the king, I give to Education a perfect command of the English language. He shall be able to read it and write it and speak it correctly. By means of it he shall know how to study and appreciate good literature. He shall see the beauty of poetry, the beauty of prose and shall understand thoroughly the elements of Style. In his writing he shall combine the good features of all writers who have gone before, the grace and elegance of one, the simplicity and vigor of another. Everything, I give to Education, which is included under the vast department of English. And now, I shall name his instructors. In order that he may master his own language more efficiently, he shall study Latin and Greek, under the careful training of Professor Benjamin L. D'Ooge. His knowledge of English gram- mar, literature and poetry shall be left solely in the hands of Professor Elorus A. Barbour and his able assistantsf' And I, said the second guest, Hwould contribute to Education a knowledge of mathematics, including algebra and arithmetic. Thus will his mind be capable of reason- ing accurately, more accurately than man's mind has ever reasoned before. His instructor shall be Professor Elmer A. Lyman, assisted by Professor John C. Stone. Upon Education, said the third guest, 1 confer a great knowledge of science. He shall know the geography of these lands as taught by Professor Mark S. W. Jefferson. He shall have a complete understanding of nature in all its branches, as explained by Professor William I-I. Sherzer. His knowledge of physical science shall be gained from Professor E. A. Strong, While most important of all, he shall learn the science of himself, the science of education. The latter difficult and extremely essential feature of his knowledge shall be entrusted to the worthy Professor Sam- uel B. Laird. I would add still more to the knowledge of Educa- tion, by bestowing upon him all the history of present and past, said the fourth guest. He shall know the life of his ancestors, the life of the race, the life of his own coun- try, and the conditions under which he now lives. I would choose for my instructor, Professor Mary Putnam. 'iAnd now one more gift is necessary to complete his learning, . said the fifth and last guest, he must appreci- ate the aesthetic side of life. He must be a wonderful musician, he must paint beautiful pictures, he must under- stand drawing, he must dance gracefully and, last of all, he must practice physical culture, making him strong, active, and ready to do his work. He shall be instructed in music by Professor Frederic H. Pease, in drawing, by Miss Ber- tha Goodison, and in physical training, by Prof. Wilbur P. Bowen. Not so, not so, shrieked an awful voice from with- out, and suddenly making his way to the throne of the king, a sixth and unknown guest appeared. You forget, proud king, that I, also, have the power to add to, as well as detract, from the learning of your beloved Education. You slight me, you ignore me, you do not invite me to the feast. I am not wise enough, my king, to aid in enlightening Education. Then I shall cast a shadow over it. All these gifts named will never be realized. I represent the hin- drances, the impediments, the obstacles to Education. He shall strive, but never attain, he shall strive to overcome these obstacles, but shall never surmount them. He shall T. Stay, you are too late, wicked intruder, and coming forth from his hiding place behind the hall door, a- seventh guest spoke triumphantly: Your revenge has not been unforseen, nor can I undo all the harm you have done. Black obstacles have been placed in the path of Education as you have said, but I give to Education, character strength of will, determination to overcome them. To re- move these obstacles will involve a struggle, but in that struggle he will always win, leaving him stronger and Hrmer than before, and far more worthy of his name-Edu- cation. His instructor, a man of great breadth, sound judgment and good common sense, shall be distinguished by the title of President. His name is President L. H. Jonesf' Defeated, the wicked guest withdrew, the color returned to the cheeks of the king and queen, the spirits of the com- pany revived, and once more sounds of rejoicing filled the hall, sounds now slightly tinged with sadness, but' still joyous. 1 U PF Pk Pls As the years passed by, Education grew and prospered under the tender, watchful care of his able instructors, meeting with many difficulties along the way, but always conquering them. As he became older, Education did all in his power to enlighten his father's people, and the now aged king rejoiced in the great work of his son, and died happy in the final realization of his early wish. The good queen mother also lived long enough to note the great suc- cess of her son and marveled at his power. At present the spirit of the king still lives, his subjects are still wending their way to the old castle, to become enlightened by great Education, through the careful training of his teachers. To most of us, however, it is no longer a castle, but the Michigan State Normal College, the subjects wending their way are the students of Michigan and the Education is that which they gain from constant association with competent teachers, who are a source of knowledge and inspiration. And yet, the 'mind delights in fanciful pictures and often just as the crimson rays of the setting sun light up and almost glorify the grey walls of our dear Normal Col- lege, we seem to see once more the grand old castle on that beautiful May-day morning and hear the sweet, fresh voices of the children singing at the gate: Hail to the Prince of Knowledge, Hail, hail, hail!

Never mind, responded her friend, tell me about the crowd going by and I'll be satisfied. They say:- 'In the spring ayoung man's fancy lightly turns to thoughts of love'g and it looks true from the couples I see together.

Oh, don't worry. He'll find a chance before very long to do his share. That's Mr. Golds and Miss French and they're both noted for their talking. I-Iere comes one poor man by himself. Who is he? From his dignified appearance he looks like a Professor. HYes, that is Professor Yard, one of the best loved of the Normal teachers, although he has only been here a year. His gentle kindness is comforting to sinners and en- couraging to saints, and it is said that one never leaves his class without having heard something worth remembering. ' ' Oh, who are that pair of lovers just behind him? HWhich ones? The ones who seem too much at ease to be simply lovers.', Oh, that's a married couple. but he is still a pattern of lover-like devotion and all the girls envy her. I canit remember his name, but it is suggestive of hardness, and one might think it would be difficult not to strike fire with him, but evidently it has onlv ended in a match. Who's the interesting couple just back of them? That fair-haired youth and blue-eyed maiden, who seem to be arguing? Oh, thatls Cottwall and Miss Corridor.

Although the expected event was long postponed, the day finally dawned which brought the Legislative Committee on its annual visit to the Normal College. We were prepared for them, every class was on for that day, every teacher was at his post, and every student stood ready to add his or her mite to the aimed-for, general appearance of an over-crowded state of things, for, owing to the steadily increasing attendance, heavy appropriations for new buildings are badly needed. They were met at the car by Pres. Jones and, after the exchange of greetings, they started off on their tour of in- vestigation, under his direction. There was aconsiderable number of them, of all sizes and descriptions, from the short, fat, round-faced man with the humorous twinkle in his eye, to the tall, lanky individual with dignity and solernnity in every motion, as befitted the importance of his position. As they entered the main-building, the bells rang an- nouncing the close of a class period, and in a moment the halls were filled with a surging mass of students, some go- ing one way and some another. The gentlemen were led by their guide into the most crowded part of the corridor, where it became necessary for them to use their elbows in order to make any progress toward the goal they aimed for, but where they got a good idea of the limited space in the halls, at least. Soon another bell sounded and the students disappeared as if by magic, within the doors of the various class-rooms, followed by the committee, who were piloted from room to room, preferably to the over-crowded ones. They filed into the Shakespeare class and stood in a long, solemn row against the wall with impassive faces and a general air of gloom which gave one the impression that they were view - ing the corpse. as one member of the class afterward expressed it. Meantime, their guide acted as scout and mysteriously disappeared down the hall, to spy out the land and determine upon the next point of attack. Returning, he signified that it was time to move on, and for some mo- ments their footsteps echoed and re-echoed up and down the long corridor, as room after room was visited for ashort period of time. Since an addition to the Training School is needed, that building received a fair share of their attention. The committee arrived there in time for the chapel exercises, and, depositing their hats and coats in the office, some of them mistaking the stenographer's desk fora hat-tree, they proceeded up-stairs. The chapel was full, as usual, but the janitor was equal to the occasion and hastily brought in chairs for the gentlemen, the very squeak of his shoes testifying to the fact that he was making strenuous efforts to get them all seated quickly and without any confusion. Chapel ended, they made their way out and continued on their tour over the building, only two getting lost in the basement during the process. They were rescued, how- ever, and making the science building a call, they returned to Normal Hall in answer to the long call which an- nounced that the hour for their speech-making had arrived. The college is very much in need of a new assembly hall and the fact was fully demonstrated on this occasion, for the students and citizens passed through all the doors until not a seat was left. and standing-room was at a premium. For over an hour the audience was highly en- tertained by various speeches from members of the com- mittee and the Mayor of the cityg some good, some bad, and some indiierent, but all listened to with interestg the usual jokes concerning the small number of boys and the great pre-dominance of girls in attendance at the college were duly laughed at, and then they were ushered down again to the long line of carriages which awaited them in the street below. As they drove off, they resembled a funeral procession in appearance, though their destination was not to the cemetery, but to the banquet hall, where the committee were highly entertained by the citizens of Ypsi at a dinner. Returning to the college in the afternoon they were shown the gymnasium and conservatory, and later the needs of the Institution were clearly setforth by the presidentin his ofhce, where they had gathered to discuss the matter, his words being verihed by their observations of the dayg and the modest'l appropriations were asked for, which we all hope will be granted. Their hnal visit was paid to the Library, where they could get a glimpse of appropriations which have been wisely expended in the glass fioor and the added stack-room. To the on-looker, their entrance tothe library might be compared to the invasion of the Danes in England. They flocked into the quiet room, mak- ing no effort to keep silence in the library corridors or even in the library itself. They talked and laughed, and strode here and there, while the busy assistants dodged in every direction trying to keep out of their way and still attend to the Wants of the people at the rail. They paid It Was not long. however, before they tramped off their respects to the Librarian, surrounding her o S0 that she nearly disappeared from view, and we were The committee had come and gone and We sincerely hope alarmed for fear she would not survive the ordeal.

One day last fall when the days were getting colder and shorter, two ambitious Seniors were work- ing in the Training School after critic meeting. They were so deeply engrossed in their work that they did not notice the shad- ows growing in the corners. The five o'clock gong sounded on un- heeding ears. Their minds were filled with future praises from the critic, E's, and big salaries. Finally their preparations for the morrow were all completed. They put on their coats and groped their way through the dark hall to the doors only to find them-locked! I ! What should they do? They hammered upon the doors and cried out for help. The only result was that they became so hoarse that they could not call any more. Then they ran about the building looking for means of es- cape. All the rooms were locked. At length, after many trials, and by means of chairs and the piano, they succeeded in opening a north window in the lower hall. After much scrambling and boosting they let themselves out onto the roof of the shed at the northeast entrance of the building. They ran to the edge and looked over. Alas! The ground looked a long ways off. Every time they looked at it it seemed farther off. I'll dare you to jump, said one. I'll dare you to jump, said the other, and neither dared. The stars blinked down at them solemnly. A car rushed by leav- ing the night blanker and quieter than before. An icy blast roared around the corner chilling them to the bone. They saw that there was no use in staying out there for no one came near that they could call so they returned to the window. To their horror they discovered that they could not draw them- selves up to the window ledge! Terrifled, they shrank down in the corner. Visions of spending the night on that cold, tin roof flashed into their minds. In the morning they would be found, two frozen corpses! At this horrible thought they again rushed to the edge and yelled themselves hoarser than Pud at a ball game. Along in the evening some good- hearted people happened to stroll over toward Starkweather. Hear- ing strange, gutteral noises in the direction of the Training School, they proceeded to investigate. They found two weeping, half in- sane girls leaning over the edge of the roof imploring them in whispers to take them down. The rescuers looked about for a ladder and dis- covered the bicycle rack. This served the purpose admirably. and two more thankful girls never set foot on terra Erma. CThe above is a true story and happened here last fall. The names of the two girls are withheld but can easily be learned by asking some of the Senior English stu- dentsl. Zlilnwl Chains SWEET WILLIAMS.-Perennial herb.
