Elkinrh gvumgi ini halh grmnnnrn C L AS S IV1 O T T O N TI-IE AURGRA SENIOR CLASS ANNUAL Michigan State Normal College YPSILANTI, 1910 TO GRACE FULLER as a mark of appreciation forthe interest she is taking in the welfare of the girls of our College, we gratefully dedicate this book A The Class of 1910 v Q 2 il 1 N , , ' Graff iliuller, Evan nf mantra XYAS asked by the nianagenient of The Aurora to attempt to account for Miss Fuller, our genial Dean of XYomen whose face looks upon us so pleasantly from the opposite page, and in so doing to account also for her unusual acceptableness and usefulness in this institution. Hegel says,-and I am sure that in attempting to account for anything or anybody one cannot niake a better beginning than this,-Hegel says that life means experienceg that more life means more experienceg and that there is no way of getting more life but by getting more experience. l am sure that this View must appeal to us all. Certainly. We are built up to no sinall degree out of our experiences. And this helps us to account for the fact that the ambient space which is successively filled with Miss Fulleifs genial presence as she goes about in the world is so charged with vitality. ln school and out of school: in rural and in urban lifeg among the high and lowg east, westg abroad and in our landg in society and in business her experience has been large andvaried so that she has taken toll to an unusual degree of the full range ot our modern' life. But I hardly think that Hegel could have meant to teach that life is all experience. Surely there must be some selective and organizing center about which these experiences gather, and it would not be surprising if a completer analysis should show that this organizing center is usually the main thing in the case. lt is the reaction upon experience 8 that gives it form. power and individuality. One might have lived alongside Miss Fuller all her life and yet have failed to become her unique and admirable self. All people who are of much account in the world arealiiictecl with a certain divine madness to be useful to others in some way of choice or inheritance. Distinguished activity in the great historic trades or occupations is the most common and useful form of such possession. It is not given to many people to be as useful outside their ordinary occu- pation as they easily may be in its faithful exercise. The great King and Master of us all was for thirty years a car- penter and only for three years a teacher and healer of men. For most of us at least efficiency in a chosen trade or occupation is the supreme test of a useful life. And so we find everything to praise in Miss Fullers great devotion to her chosen Work,-the economics of the home, with especial reference to the great problem of human foods. But it is as the wise and efficient Dean of Women that she is best known among us. In this capacity her home has come to be a social center of great attraction for the girls of the school, who find in her a faithful friend and judicious adviser, and, through her influence, an introduction to a Wider circle of interests than they could otherwise have known. And so I feel grateful for this -opportunity of expressing to her the high appreciation and warm regard of both the town and the school-faculty and students,-and the hope that she may continue to find as now great happiness and usefulness in her work. -l2flWlTl .-X.

Basing his life on patriotism and religion, he gave throughout his career power- ful aid to state and national education. To the loyalty, the efficient service and the personal inspiration given by her most illustrious son, the Normal College offers grateful tribute. .' ihiiatnrg nf- the illtlirhig A state which not many years ago was the battleground of roaming tribes of lndiaus, and the pasture land of the elk and caribou, cannot boast of a wealth of tradition nor ot a rich historical background.

It is a pioneer among the state normal schools of our country. lt has the proud distinction of being the first one west of Albany, and the sixth in the United States. lts historv is closely connected with that of the State of Michigan. llfhen, in 1837, .lohn D. Pierce. The Father ot the Michigan Schools, outlined a school system for the was introduced into the legislature to establish in the Uni- versity of Michigan a separate department for the instruc- tion of teachers. This bill failed to become a law, but the following year an act was passed which provided for the establishment of a normal school. Propositions for its location were soon received by the I7 x State Board of Education from Ypsilanti, -laclcson. Mar- shall, Gull Prairie, and Niles. Ypsilantiis offer of a cash subscription of 313,500 and temporary rooms, and its pro- posal to pay, upon certain specified conditions, for a term of five years. the salary of the principal teacher of the model school. were accepted. A plat of ground, tothe extent of four- acres, was also donated by the town. To this, the Board purchased an addition making the original site C011- tain nearly six acres. Upon it they proceeded to erect a suitable building for the school. Qu Cctober 5, 1852, the formal dedication took placeg and on March 29, 1853, the Michigan State Normal School opened its doors. The Hrst term continued for seventeen weeks. The second term commenced on the first Tuesday of the following Gctober and lasted twenty-three weeks. The buildings of the institution are indicative of its growth. At first one building met the needs now supplied by live. each of which is larger than the original. The orig- inal building, which was a brick structure three stories high, is the nucleus of the present Main Building. The first lioor provided a room for the model school. one for the department of physics and chemistry, a small reception room. and a library room. On the second floor were sev- eral recitation rooms and the main schoolroom. One large room and a number of smaller ones constituted the third floor. I On Friday night, October 28, 1859, this building with most of its contents, was destroyed by fire. Nothing re- mained of the structure but the bare brick walls. Tempor- ary quarters were provided at once, and the work of resto- ration carried on with such energy that the restored build- ing was ready for occupancy at the opening of the spring term in .-Xpril. 1St5tI. Not only was the external appearance of the original building changed in the restored structure, but the interior was also improved. ln 1818 an addition was built to the front. a large part of the rear wall torn down and rebuilt, the roof raised to correspond to that of the addition, and the interior remodeled. lt is an interesting fact that the erection of the tower at the northeast corner was made pos- sible at this same time by a donation of Sl4'Z,t'ltltl from the citizens of Ypsilanti. A rear addition over a hundred feet long and two stories high, was erected in 1882. Six years later the north and south wings were added. The second building to be erected is the one now known as the Conservatory. lt was originally intended for the use of the State Agricultural Society. and was to contain an agricultural museum. flts erection was begun in 1861, but it was not roofed over until late in the autumn of 1865. lt remained in an uneompleted state until 1869, when the leg- islature appropriated funds for its completion. Then in January, 1870, the Board of Education accepted the linished building, and changed its name from Normal Museum to t'New Normal School Building. It was devoted to the use of the Training School until 18872, and since then has been occupied partly or Wholly by the Conservatory of Music. No department of the Normal College has been more side, promised a permanent abode. Altho the plans ex- ceeded the appropriation, they Were retained, and the cen- tral portion of the Training School Building was completed within the limits of the appropriation. By April 1, 1897, this structure was ready to be occupied by most of the grades. Three years later the wings Were added, and in 1909 the new addition was completed. uf' Vfinxifr , w I ff H: 'T f'l - ri' qw? migratory in its habitsn than the Training School. It was moved from its cramped quarters in the Main Building to the present Conservatory Building, and there it had a home until 1882, when it became domiciled in the new rear addi- tion of the Main Building. An appropriation of 3525.000 made by the legislature in 1895, and the city's donation of a site of over three acres adjoining the campus on the west Of all the college buildings none is endeared to the stu- dents by stronger and more tender associations than the Gymnasium. Early in the history of the college the value of physical training Was recognized, and a very modest structure, situated on the ground now occupied by the ex- treme rear of the Main Building and provided with meagre equipments, served as a gymnasium. This building was de- stroyed by fire in the summer of 1873, and for twenty years only such rooms as were available could be appropri- ated to instruction in physical training. Finally, however. the legislature voted 820,000 for the erection of a building for physical culture. A site was purchased by voluntary subscription and the handsome Gymnasium erected. On May 18, 1891, it was dedicated-a blessing to the schools and teachers of Michigan. It was not until nine years later that the Science Build- ing, a large and substantial structure with splendid equip- ments. was completed at a cost of ?f315,000. A history of the Normal which did not include Stark- weather Hall, would be incomplete. Its location on the campus and its intimate connection with the life of the col- iege, make this a beautiful home of the Students' Christian Association essentially a college building. It was built in 1897-the gift of Mrs. Mary Starlcweather to the Students' Christian Association. ' The grounds upon which these buildings and the athletic helds are located have been increased, largely through the generosity of the citizens of Ypsilanti, until they extend over forty acres. But buildings with their libraries, laboratories, and appa- ratus, and grounds with their athletic fields are not the only things that indicate the progress and efficiency of an insti- tution of learning. The steady growth of its teaching force. the continued increase in its attendance, and the constant development of its courses of study are of still greater sig- nificance. - Xiihen the school opened in 1852, the number of teachers was Eve. In 1880, the number had reached twelve, and in 1902, fifty-three. At present the faculty consists of more than eighty noble men and women who are the life, the immanent spirit of the college. The strengthening of theiteaching staff presupposes a proportional increase in the attendance. During the first term only twenty-seven students attended the school. The average enrollment for the first decade of the existence of the college was two hundred ninety-seven, for the next two decades it averaged three hundred forty-six, from 1880, Eve hundred thirty-seven. The average growth of the following ten years was almost double that of the pre- ceding decade, and up to April 1, 1909, the attendance for the year had reached the high mark of two thousand tive hundred thirty-two. The constant change and development of the courses of study in the Normal College curriculum are the results of experiments. XVhen the school opened in 1853, but two two-year courses, English and Latin, had been adopted. Space does not permit an extended account of this interest- ing phase of the history of the college. Let it suffice to say that radical changes were made in these courses at different times, and that, in 1889 an advanced course leading to the degree of Bachelor of Pedagogy, was provided. Provisions were also made for the degree of Master of Pedagogy. Later. in 189'7, in recognition of the fact that work of col- legiate grade was being done, the legislature Hauthorized the State Board of Education to designate the school, in the courses leading to life certificate and degree, by the name of Michigan State Normal College. In 1903 courses were or- ganized leading to the degree of Bachelor of Arts in Edn- cation. The phenomenal progress of the institution in promi- nence and induence must be attributed in part to the wise supervision of its principals and presidents. Each has con- tributed his best edorts to the building up of the institu- tion. The hrst principal, Adonijah S. XVelch. was followed by David P. Mayhew, 1865-715 Joseph Estabrook, 1871-811. and Dr. Malcolm MacYicar, 1880-81. During the interreg- num which followed the resignation of Dr. MacVicar, Pro- fessor Daniel Putnam served as acting principal for two years. In 18823 Edwin XYillits became principal. At his resignation in 1885, Professor Putnam again resumed the duties of acting-principal until the appointment of John M. B. Sill in 1886. Principal Sill was succeeded in 1893 by Richard G. Boone, who, at the adoption of the new Normal System in 1898, became the first president of the Michigan State Normal Schools. Professor E. A. Lyman has the honor of being the nrst principal under the new regime t1899j. President Boone was followed by Albert Leonard in 1900. After two years of service President Leonard re- signed. and Lewis H. .Tones assumed the duties of presi- dent of the Michigan State Normal College. Qt all these leaders none has rendered it greater service, or has added more to its fame, by sheer force of his own Worth, than he who was last named, President Jones. Thus the pioneer normal school of the West has become the Michigan State Normal College of national reputation. Is not the prophecy uttered by Father', Pierce in his ded- icatory address,- The fruits of this institution must ap- pear in after times, -being realized? Is not the petition of Reverend Reed on that same occasion, that- streams of knowledge may How out from this institution. till they reach all parts of our state and bless every school, every family, and every childi'-being answered? May its fu- ture be crowned with still greater power and fame! PRESIDENT JONES igrvaihnnt Finney- Au Apprrriatinii Readers of the Aurora are already familiar with the chief events which have marked the career of our revered and honored President, and it is not necessary for me to repeat their narration. It is rather my purpose to call atten- tion to some of the qualities of mind and heart that have made possible his distinguished success as an educator and administrator. I-Iis educational opportunities were by no means exceptional. In fact, measured by the standards of today, they were quite meagre. And yet, after only four years of teaching, we Hnd him Principal of the Indianapolis Normal School C1876-18842, next Superintendent of the Indianapolis schools C1884-18945, then Superintendent of the Cleveland schools C1894-19l'l'2D, and finally with us. where a kind fate brought him to preside over the destinies of our State Normal College. Early in my acquaintance with President jones I found myself, in my own mind, applying to him the char- acteristics immortalized by I-Iorace, the poet laureate of the Augustan age, in the words: Iustum et tenacem propositi virum Non civium ardor prava iubentium Non voltus instantis tyranni Mente quatit solidaf, And a more intimate friendship has served to establish the truth of the characterization, For our President is just and right-minded. He sees things as they are, has clear vision and good sense. Then, having exercised this unusual faculty, he makes up his mind what to do and does it. I-Ie becomes the very embodiment of firmness and decision, like the one whom I-Iorace calls 'tenacem pvfoposiri -zf17rzi111,' whom nothing can shake from his steadfast purpose. This quality, which seems to me our Presidentls chief characteristic, was admirably shown during his administration of affairs at Cleveland where he took the management of the school system out of the hands of the politicians in the face of ceaseless opposition of misguided citizens Q,C'Z.'Z!Ill11l LTVUIO7' jvrarlu Z.7ll7C llfI-117115 and the threats of the angry political boss Czfolfus I'lISftl7'lfI5 'fj'7'U7HZ1'D. VVe gratefully acknowledge that the phenomenal prosperity of our College since 1902 is primarily due to the ster- ling qualities of our President. May he long continue with us! -Benjamin I..

Y. - - Elulia A. liing, 'X No institution of learning in the land has had a more consistent or honor- able history, or has rendered greater returns to the Commonwealth that has nourished it than the Normal College of this city and state. The College has been particularly close to the life of the people, impressing itself upon the mind of this Middle VVest as standing for certain educational ideals and standards that have furnished and guaranteed the very best educational fruits for the State. It is not too much to say that no other institution has been able to cultivate and main- tain that intimate contact and close relationship with the educational life of the State that has been the peculiar providence of the Michigan Teachers College. Indeed if the State Normal College were to close its work tomorrow, the State of Michigan would owe more -to its great and distinctive contributions to the life of the Commonwealth than to any other institution of learning. And the secret of all this is not so much in the growing equipment of the college, or in the generous financial provision of the State, as in the spirit of its .Turin XXNNE .IQING Professor of History and Civics administration and the character and personnel of its faculty. Here is the secret of the Norrnal's large and firm hold on the loyalty and devotion of the State. And among all the distinguished educators Who have adorned the faculty of the Michigan State Normal College no name stands higher than that of Professor julia King of the Department of History and Sociology. Not only her great gifts as a teacher, and her academic learning, but her personal qualities, blending in such beautiful'balance both gentleness and strength, the impression also' of realness and genuineness and transparent honesty, which Miss King ever imparts to her students, have given her a place in the affection and admiration of all who have been fortunate enough to come under her influence, really quite rare among educators, Absolutely fair, yet exacting, with a gift for stimulat- ing others not only to learn things, but to enjoy the habit of learningg a marked power, too, of discovering the shirk and the drone to themselves and revealing the ruinous character of such a policy for the studentg Miss King above all else stands as the students' friend, because the best in a student is italicized by contact with her and the worst dis- credited. A gifted teacher, with a high sense of vocation and a high sense of the vast importance of the educator's Work in creating ideals, and giving form and substance and spirit to the life of the day and the life yet to be. the services of Julia King to the supreme things that make the life of a people have made and make today the State of Michigan her abiding yet grateful debtor. 32 The gods approve The depth. and not the tumult, of the soul.

Cbift As we are leaving the State Normal College. where for many months we have worked under the guidance of those more learned than we, we ask ourselves the question, VVhat is our greatest gift from our instructors? XVhat have they given us to carry out into the great wide World, with its great wide open arms, where there is room for each of us-yes, room just waiting for uskwhat have they given us that will make us ready to fill that place with joy and efficiency? Their most obvious, but we think not their greatest, gift to us has been a valuable store of book knowledge. They have helped us to master some science, some tech- nique, some truths of fact and fiction, and for this aid We are grateful. But they have given us much more for which our hearts are filled with a deeper thanksgiving. By their daily lives, their strength and sympathy, their patience and power, their self-control and joyful service, they have given us precious lessons not found in text books. They have put aside their personal perplexities and pains and met us each day with smiles and words of cheer. When weariness and discouragement have come to us, they have shamed us by their tireless energy and hopefulness, and, all unconsciously, have stimulated us to renewed and more earnest endeavor. From the gladness and sadness of their experiences they have brought us their best, and it is that which will inspire us long after we have forgotten many of the formal laws and lessons they have taught. From the sacred lessons learned in the book of life they have given us with lavish liberality and made stronger and abler to learn those lessons which each of us must sometime learn for himself. In their converse, and counsel, and conduct, they have revealed to us their lofty ideals and noble aspirations, and so inciterl us to higher aims and a truer life. So it is that we feel that this generous giving of them- selves, or, to use a favorite expression of our own President jones, this human touch, with its bravery, and beauty, and blessing, will be our enduring benediction from our college teachers. And so we wish to extend our heartfelt gratitude for this, our greatest gift. C. C. YV. HARRIET BILLS Assistant in Natural Science CARL W1RTH Assistant in Physical Science Svinhvni Azmiaianin .TOY J.

W If ffl if! f SVQQ-SEQ R egs Hwzarrvra Hark the little zfesper bell, Vvhich biddeth me to prayer! -Coleridge, Ancient Mariner, VII. ERI-IAPS no change in the general exercises of the Normal College has been more acceptable to the student body than the substitution of the afternoon vesper service for the former chapel hour at eleven o'clock in the forenoon. Indeed the announcements, the public addresses, and the loss of the choir, had taken from the morning hour a large part of its devotional spirit. Now, toward evening, students and faculty have the privilege of enjoying a half hour's vesper service full of spiritual inspiration in its character. The reading of a few verses of scripture, the lifting up of the heart to GOD in prayer, the singing of inspiring music by a noble choir- who shall measure the influence of such a service upon the minds and hearts of those who seek to Worship their Creator in spirit and in truth! The observance of a vesper-hour is mentioned so early as the third century. The old English name for vespers is ezfefz-song. For centuries at evening time, with psalms and songs of praise, humanity has worshipped its spiritual Father. It is to be hoped that in keeping with the historical character of this religious service our college bell shall become upon VVednesday evenings a vesjjwf-belf, and that the vespez'-hozn' shall remain for many years one of the noblest traditions of the Normal College. ' FLORUS A. BARBOUR 93 Ac KNG T'jf5f1,'E SENE To the Senior Cln5s-Greet1'ng- In all the categories of higher human culture, the idea of sertfice easily takes the first rank. Even in self-culture, altruism is more potent than selfishness. It was a profound philosophy of life that jesus taught when he said whosoever would become great among you shall be your rninisterg and whosoever would become great among you shall be your servantg even as the Son of Man came not to be ministered unto but to minister. Whoever selfishly tries to save his own life by neglecting duty or by applying to his own use what he should share with others, shall lose his life, so far as the higher spiritual interests are concerned. The brute animal lives for the most part on the level plane of selfish interests. As he has no motive toward the higher life. he has no temptation toward the lower. Vkfhen his own interests are satisfied, he asks no question about the condition of any other. Even when he injures another, it is in fancied self-defense of some sort rather than from malevolent intention. The limits both upward and downward are set by the complete centralizing of his interests in himselfg so that he lives on the dead level implied in his brute nature. i But the human life is different from the brute life, as the human being differs in his destiny from that of the animal. Man lives rather on an inclined plane on which he must maintain himself by struggle. lf he would livc on this inclined plane above the level of animal life, he must engage in socially unselfish activities. Forgetting for the moment his selfish tendencies, he must merge his sympathies and activities in those of his neighbors. Love thus becomes the controlling factor in his life. and thereby his spiritual attributes develop. The vocation of teaching offers wide opportunity for the development of one's nobler attributes.. The subor- dination of self' and the entering into the life of the other is the one condition of successful teaching.-as indeed. it is of successful living. My earnest wish for you is that you may live worthily so that you may teach successfully. --L. H. Vlones. 95 Elirnm the Ewa Cevattw Mrniia ilIH0liHl13i And lo and behold! in the year 19115, in the reign of jones, the VVise, who even unto this day swayeth the scepter, there arose in Michigan and divers states arcund a great commotion, which did result in the weeping and wail- ing of fathers and mothers, bro-thers and sisters. For in that year it befell that a multiude of maidens did gather together their belongings and a few boys, and set out for Ypsilanti. Now this mighty company did take upon itself the name Gens MCMX, Michiganensis Nornialae Collegiae on the day of its coming. And on the second day, which cometh after the first, the members of the Gens did throng to the halls of wisdom, where did sit the most learned men and women of all the age. Now these people who in their days were called professors, did inspire many with fear when they spake the words, VVherefore comest thou unto me? Hfouldst thou specialize or otherwise ?', But the Cens MCMX did show no signs of fear, for they were strong and brave. And so the second day passed and was well with them. . Now, in the beginning, there was great exuberance of spirit, and the Gens was without organization, and a good time was sought after. But when jones, the Wfise, arose .in all his might and said, Let there be work, then darkness fell on the faces of all. And in the days thereafter their minds did turn towards home, and red eyes and trembling lips shewed on every countenance. But not long can youthful minds dwell on the sad and uneventful. Wfhen but a few fortnights had elapsed, it appeared that an armed contlict with the older tribe was necessary. Accordingly the Gens MCMX chose a king from their number to give them goodly counsel. And on a night not long thereafter a conflict was begun which in their day was called the rush. Now it lasted but a day, and the Gems MCMX did go about with gloomy faces, for Mars had looked frovvmimgly upom them amd had paid mo heed to their emtreatiesm Novv it hapt that the Gems MCMIX did grow arrogant because of its victories, amd the fair ladies of the vanquished tribes waxed vvroth because of this. Amd they met the ladies of the Gems MCMIX to avemge their tribel Now they did do battle mobly, but yet they did suffer defeat, amd they resolved forever to abide by the law amd live im peace with their comquerors. Now after all these thimgs had come to pass, amd mamy mevv distractioms took them from their study, they omce more bethought themselves om their old friemds. Amd im- mediately om givimg amswer to the last examimatiom ques- tions. they departed for their homes, where they tarried mamy days. Now whem they returmed. they foumd their realm im- vaded by a mew tribe, whichshewed mamy sigms of hostility. Amd they resolved to wage war upom them amd semd them umder the yoke. Amd it hapt that mumberless hordes of this mew tribe did have to climb trees amd dwell im them for some time after the mammer of their amcestors, the tree dwellers. After mamy hapless victims had beem slaim the survivors did humble themselves 'before their comquerors im order that they might obtaim from them permissiom that they could remaim. Amd movv the tribes dwelt together im peace for mamy days, but fimally the foolishmess amd greemmess for which the Gems MCMXI were moted brake out agaim. Amd they did challenge the older tribe to a meet. Now the Gems MCMX did wim a great victory, which will live forever im their ammals. Amd mo less moted were they for their imtellectual prowess. For while they tarried im the laud of learmimg. such mem as Sherzer. D'Ooge, l-loyt, amd Laird dished out to them their imtellectual food,-Nature Study, Latin. History of Education, amd ldsycliology. Now it was cycm :aid by Roberts. who lfmew. that mot for mzimy years had zi gems beem so exceedimg bright. Svninr Gbitirera President ..,... . .... Norman A. Arthur Yell Master ......... .......

The wonderful Greek sky gleamed translucently. the air was deliciously balmy, yet touched with an exhilarating tang, A few Heecy clouds wreathed themselves mistily about violet topped Parnassus. Along the white road that led up to the mountain, a group of tourists were weuding their way. They were all chatting volubly. And so we decided to come and consult the oraclef' said one young woman with wavy black hair, grey eyes, and a most determined expression. f'You mean you decided and -we camefi retorted her companion, an exceedingly tall, solemn-faced individual, who lifted his feet high as he stepped and never took his eyes from the ribbon-like road before him. Ch gosh, but its hot, y spoke up a third member of the party, mopping the perspiration from his face. For pity's sake, Dutch, donlt hit her off so fast. I won't last another heat at this rate. Got to get there before four o'clock, Norm, responded the solemn-faced individual, without looking back or abat- ing the clock-like swing of his legs. Here the party turned a corner. Gott sei dank, murmured one young woman, as the white pillars and walls of a temple, perched gracefully on a low-lying spur. greeted their eyes. I was mortally afraid until just this minute, Miss Ronan. that you might have been mistaken about that article in The Classical fourmzl, and so our trip would have been for nothing. Oh, no, Miss Erff' returned the young lady positively. I couldn't have been mistaken. you know. It said quite plainly that the .-Xrchaeological Society had excavated a tem- ple on Parnassus. believed to be the original Delphic Temple. and that in one of the chambers an old. withered woman was found lying in a trance. The noted French psychist, M. Champlessis, has revived her, and she is now giving oracles the same as formerly, but she believes herself to he living in theitime of Pericles, and-- i Whos going in Hrst?', rudely interrupted Dutch Wlell. as no one made a move, Hthen Illl make the break. And he did, for, as he stepped into the portico, his feet slipped on the glassy thing, and, when he arose extremely red as to face and bcllicose in manner, there was a large three-cornered tear in the back of his coat. lVhat a ripping fellow Dutch is, anyway, thoughtfully observed some one in the extreme rear, but the rest tactfully ignored the ocurrence. In the portico they met an aged servitor. Mercy sakesfl said Miss Ronan, none of us knows a word of Greekf' lVhat's the matter with plain old United States ? asked Norman Arthur. VVhy, hang it, man, he's dumbf, spoke up a spectacled young man who had frequently consulted an ancient history on the way thither. So he is, Wfise, old chap. Trust you-- But further speech was interrupted by the old man. who beckoned them into a large. vaulted. central chamber. the innermost cham- ber. in the center of which was a cleft in the ground. Over this stood a golden tripod on which was a circular slab of wood. Ry signs the old man indicated that they were to adorn themselves with the laurel wreaths and fillets of wood that were heaped up on a marble rlais in a corner of the room. Tell me, is my crown on straight ? anxiously inquired a masculine member of the party. Hush, here comes the oracle. Slowly and with noiseless steps, entered the oldest, most wrinkled creature ever seen. Her grey hair, which hung long and thick about her, was adorned with gold ornaments. Flowing white robes swept about her, As the party, shiver- ing with awe, gazed at her, she paused before the ancient shrine and tasted hrst the water flowing into it, then the fruit of the old bay tree standing in the room. That water must have come from the fountain Casso- tis, said Miss Ronan complacently. Mft was supposed by scientists to' have dried up. She drinks it to assist her in passing into the divine frenzy. How it must hurt to know so much,'l muttered an ignorant one in the rear. V Look, whispered his neighbor breathlessly. The Pythia was ascending the seat above the tripod. She bowed her head over the cleft and breathed the vapors exhaled from it. As they gazed, she stiffened, then seemed to swell and grow in heightg her eye-sockets filled up and blazed with supernatural fire. You go first, liVise,', said Arthur, you were born what most people only become when old. UNO, welre supposed to cast lots. l've been reading up. Feverishly the lots were cast. Wise held the winning number. ' HT see Fm fatedf' he murmured, as with shaking knees he approached the sybil and begged her to reveal his future. Once more she bent over the cleft and inhaled its potent vapors. An ecstacy seized her. and she chanted in an old Greek tongue words which her attendant priest translated into verse. VVhen he had written the oracles on pieces of pergament he passed them out to the tourists. As the last eager seeker retraced his steps, the old woman seemed to shrink and shrivelg a cloud of vapor arose and shut her from view just as the priest motioned for them to go. In the little Greek town of Dephi, dictionaries were ac- quired with feverish haste. For, of course, they could not ask their guide-he had too little respect for them as it was. Somehow, as one ruefully remarked, they had ex- pected the oracles to be in Englishfl By special permission we are allowed to print the translations. Unfortunately, the originals were lost in a storm at sea. Upon the arrival of the Seniors in Ypsilanti, they were met by the Normal band. which escorted them to their various lodgings to the lively strains of 'Wdihen johnny Comes Marching Home Again. ' Following are the oracles as given our reporter in an interview: By chance you will land On a cannibal strand, But care not for that, You're too lacking in fat. By them to be cruelly canned.

Young as it is, the day has endeared itself to us. As the affectionate ivy clings to the walls of our college, and with their support mounts ever upward. so has the tradition entered our hearts and twined itself tenderly about our college life, binding us more closely to our Alma Mater and inspiring us to higher, nobler action. Last year, immediately following the Class Day exercises, the ivy procession, made up of over six hundred girls, formed in the lower corridors of Normal hall, and led by Della Junkin, Vice President. and Ida Hintz, Ivy Day Orator, began its march around the campus Like a vine the procession wound itself in and out among the buildings, stopping long enough at each for the different addresses, and finally stretching out onto the front campus in the form of a large N. I-Iere's to the Green and White, and the Ivy Day song rang out joyfully as the march proceeded, The oration of the day was delivered by Miss Ida Hintz. after which the ceremony of planting carried out.

Requisites of any healthy social unit, they become of transcendent importance here. where enthusiastic loyalty, or utter indifference, the life or death of class associations, shift in perilous uncertainty through the unstable realm of youthful temperament. Sponta- neity, enthusiasm, and energy are typical of a college group, but unless these attributes are organized and encouraged they speedily evaporate into hopeless abandon. The juniors may attribute their strong class organizati on to the recognition and realization of these three essential elements. Its development from several hundred disorganized, unacquainted students to the strong, capable unit it con- stitutes today has been characterized by a persistent enthusiasm, a permanent activity and a harmony withal common to the entire membership. The size of the class, one of the largest in the history of the institution, is indicative of the interest which has marked its progress. Gut of this has sprung an initiative that has manifested itself in the various class activities. So- cially, the members have been afforded ample opportunity for promoting acquaintance, thereby strengthening the bonds that unite them. The interclass meets have always elicited enthusiastic support from the entire class, a loyalty that has been ever constant. The class meetings, the final test for an active organization, have invariably secured good attendance. In every phase of class work, the juniors have entered with an enthusiastic determination that invariably reldected credit to their efforts, The ultimate and fundamental end of class organization, the engendering and maintainance of hearty class spirit, has been attained in a remarkable degree. The close of the Junior year leaves the Class of 311 well organized, ambitious and earnest. qualities that augur Well for the realization of its aim, to leave the institution the peer of any class in the his- tory of the Normal College.

Since then more than one hundred and titty students, realizing that real erhciency and service come only through thorough preparation, have remained at the Normal College for Junior Degree work. Gur CLASS OF 1910 is by far the largest in the history of the College. lt demonstrates the growing popularity of third year work, and the recognition on the part of the K-1 M f students, of the tact that the greatest individual progress comes in the third and fourth years of a college course. We as a class further recognize that much of our progress and development has been due to our more intimate acquaintance with our instructors. They have, indeed, given us a broader conception of education. Wle shall ever think of the prolonged fellowship with students, authors, and teachers as the stimulus which caused us to aspire to nobler 'efforts and higher ideals. L. F.

The two members of the Ex- ecutive Committeeuvhose terms of office expired this year, Miss Goodison and Miss Shultes, were re-elected at the annual meeting for a term of two years. In accordance with the purpose of the organization, this year the officers of the Union brought to the College foui IHBH-1II women speakers, representing as many different fields of social service, that the students might gain the good which comes from social intercourse. it was arranged that. in honor of each lecturer some department of the College give reception to which all of the students of that department should be invited. Both lectures and receptions proved a success in the way of stimulating a broader interest in people and events. The first lecture of the year was given by Miss Guerin Griffiths, a former teacher in the lVoman's College in Con- stantinople during the late revolution, and out of her experience gave an interesting and instructive talk upon K'The New Era in Turkey, Mrs. Kate Upson Clark, a writer and literary critic from Brooklyn, gave some spirited and inspiring advice upon the subject To write or not to write. The speaker impressed upon her audience the im- portance of taking the right attitude in relation to every vital issue and the necessity of everyone's giving due atten- tion to the expression of his ideas, because of the inestimable influence of the press. Mrs. Gudrun Thorne Thomsen, a charming story teller of the School of Education in Chi- cago, not only led her hearers into the magical land of folk and fairy lore, but also gave a vivid exposition of 'fThe Value of Story-telling from an Educational Point of View. She showed that the stories which have survived through the ages contain much of the ripest of human wisdom and that through these stories children can be brought into the rich heritage of the past. The last speaker of the course was Reverend Bartlett Crane, of Kalamazoo. Mrs. Crane, who has made extensive investigations into the conditions of almshouses, for an hour held the sympathetic interest of her listeners, as she vividly portrayed the sufferings of the people in those institutions. The talk was helpful in that it suggested practical methods of aiding Cnr Forgotten People, All of the lectures, although widely different in theme, in one way or another served to strengthen the consciousness of the great bond of human brotherhood. and left one with a new vision to see, and a new heart to thrill. .

Under the supervision of Miss Estelle Downing, We have striven toward the accomplishment of these purposes. To make our own work more systematic, We have estab- lished a new Minerva bulletin board, in which successive programs are posted. These have covered a Wide range of subjectsg and a general broadening of our views has been the result. To complete this line of our Work We have chal- lcnged the members of the Portia Club to the annual debate to take place May 22nd, on the subject, Resolved, That co-education in the higher institutions of learning is unde- sirablef' ,Auf Even though we give to debate our most careful consid- eration, we believe just as earnestly in the value of oratory and declamation. In this our club has had efhcient repre- sentatives in Miss Bernice Tinker and Miss Loretta O'Con- nor, who took active parts in the play She Stoops to Conquerug and in Miss Grace Bellamy, a participant in the Girls' Oratorical Contest of 1910, and winner of second place in the contest of 1909. Another, and by no means least, of the club's activities is its social life. All junior members recall with pleasure the reception given them by the seniors, and in turn look eagerly forward to the opportunity of passing on that pleasure to others. So the Minerva, with one aim supreme, has attained that which is every organization's ambition: it has implanted itself in the lives ot its members and made itself an invaluable part of the school's inspiration.

This, then, is the aim of the Portia Club: to hold ever before its members this ideal woman whom Shakespeare's genius has made real, and so to aid in the development of those qualities in which she stood pre-eminent. It is most essential to success in this day and age, that a woman have poise and self-control, that she be able to cope with occasions as they arise, whether they be a call for a public speech or the entertainment of friends. The means to this end consists of debating, oratory and literary work. Cf course, there is a social side to the organization, and this plays no small part in its affairs. VVho will ever forget the happy times spent together-the occasions when joy and gaiety were the only passwords, and the spirit of fun and frolic reigned? The rumble of those wagon wheels will n ot soon be forgotten by some of the members. O, the taste of that candy! O, the blisters that paid the price! We who have enjoyed membership for the last two ye ars pass out from the society into new fields of labor with regret, yet feeling that we leave it in the hands of those perfectly capable of carrying out all its traditions. l54 1 ' ' 'ss' 'mu ' Obflirrra VVinter Quarter.

Indeed, the competence to talk with ease and effectiveness in the occasional exigency is the criterion, outwardly at least, that determines a person's degree of culture. It is a false notion that it is a talent inherently natural with some and impossible of possession with others. The acquirement comes only at the price of conscious weakness, dispiriting embarassment and inflexible determination. Wfebster him- self, as a youth, suffered inexpressible discomfiture when appearing in public, and many the time, words failing him altogether, he retired from the platform in hopeless con- fusion and mortification. Yet his masterful surmountal of the weakness serves not only as a consolation, but as an inspiration to others experiencing this same persistent incapacity to speak naturally from the platform. The one dominant purpose of the VVebster Club has been to aid its members in the mastery of this weakness. Through the medium of the weekly discussions and debates they are given ample opportunity to 'strengthen this self- command, and the knowledge that their hearers are men laboring under the same difficulties and striving for the same end lends encouragement to the individual efforts. The Club is realizing, in a remarkable degree, its aim year by year. Perhaps the most striking indication of this melioration is the degree of conscious self-control which the members feel and exhibit at the end of the two years' work, the personal confidence they manifest of their own ability, and the enthusiasm with which they express the inestimable value and importance of the club associations. Of lesser importance, yet of no small value, is the educa- tional factor of the work, derived from the training in debate and the investigation and discussion of current ques- tions. The Wfebsters, too, have always participated with credit and honor in the inter-club and school contests. Yet the purpose has never been to develop the individual man at the expense of the whole, but to elevate the rank and cul- ture of the entire membership, an aim which it has and is realizing, as both present and future alumni, recalling their own experiences, when by dint of earnest effort they over- came their own weaknesses, will testify.

Wle learn best the worth of our ideas and thoughts when we are called upon to defend them against opposing opinions. It is for this principle that the club stands: to teach its young men to have definite opinions on leading questions, and to be able to see them from different points of view. The work has been of inestimable value to the members, and not a few of the most successful of the college alumni have been members of the Lincoln Club. The year of 1910 has been a fitting one to mark the tenth anniversary of the club, Accepting' a challenge from the Webster Club in the first quarter, the Lincolns, represented by Jolly, Riddering and Arthur, forced their opponents to defeat. The Finals in the spring quarter resulted in the unanimous decision for the Lincoln team to represent the college in the debate with M. A. C. This final victory also decided the possession of the debating cup now Won for the third time by the Lincoln Club. Since its organiza- tion this is the second cup won by the club., The annual banquet on the 12th of February was held this year in Starkweather Hall and was a decided success in every respect. Much of the credit for this ycar's good work is due Mr. C. M. Elliot, who has acted as critic of the club. His criticisms have proved very helpful and suggestive. lfVe can hope for no bettter future for the new members of the club than that they will follow the teachings and example of the immortal Lincoln whose name the club bears and Whose character its members have sought to imitate.

Tts value consists not alone in its literary merit, such as giving the individual opportunity for originality, clearness in thought. and at- tractive style, but also in the fact that in appearing before the public the speaker training in the voicing ing manner. gains self-control, ease, grace, and of his own sentiments in a convinc- lt is the object of the Oratorical Association of the M. S. N. C. to promote in our college interest in public speak- ing. Although our association is not endowed as are the various associations of the other colleges in the intercolle- giate league, it has managed to exist self-supporting, and through it the Normal College has been ably represented in the intercollegiate contests. The final contest for the selection of oratorical contes- tants was held in January. In the womens contest, The Freedom of the Individual, by Grace Bellamy, won first place.

Une of the best contests in the history of the State Oratorical Association was held March the fifth at Lansingg Albion, Alma, Adrian, Olivet, Hope, Kalamazoo, Hillsdale, M. A. C. and M. S. N. C. taking part. Although Winning Erst place in neither contest, it was conceded that the Nor- mal College was ably represented. The preliminary debates resulted in the selection of N A.

The final was held on April the fifteenth, and Loren -lolley, A. A. Ricldering, and N. A. Arthur won places in the order named. These men are strong and experienced debaters and we are certain that the case of the Normal Will be safe in their hands in the contest with our old rivals. Qur past record has been a good one. even though Ypsi's name does not appear many times as Winner of first place in the intercollegiate contests. Gnce in every nine years that contest is held in Ypsilanti, and next year is our turn. Let us prepare for this event earlyg but most of all. let us catch the real college spirit manifested by our sister colleges, and help to promote the Work in oratory, which is an art in itself.

'll. l65 flllirhigan nrmal Glnllegv Glhvmirnl Glluh For some years past the chemistry department has felt the need of an organization whereby the students might give and receive help outside of the regular prescribed course. In view of this fact a chemical club was organized this year with a membership of twenty-five. The head of the chemistry department acts as patron and advises in all matters pertaining to the work. The exact purpose of the club is to keep in touch with the scientific advances of the day, by reviewing the various papers to which the library furnishes access. Different members are assigned periodi- cals, and at the regular meeting, which occurs once a month, a concise extract of the matters of noteworthy mention is given. In this Way the members of the society are not only kept conversant with the leading scientihc periodicals, but are enabled to use them to best advantage. At intervals of time, instructive talks are given upon some of the scientiiic issues of modern progress. It is also the purpose of the club to visit some of the chemical manu- facturing plants and to make a study of various industrial operations. As to qualifications for inembershipl, any one may be- come a member who has had a year of high school chemis- try and has supplemented it by one course in this institution, It is desirable for best results that the membership remain relatively low. This year We are merely in the experimental stage, but the character and intensity of the Work will un- doubtedly change according to the progress of the or- ganization. Much benefit has been derived from the society, and it will be continued as one phase of the Work of the chemistry department. C. E. D. A story-telling club, composed of literature and reading specialists, was organized during the fall quarter under the direction of Miss Downing. The purpose of the society was two-fold. 'Wie aimed to become so familiar with the great classics of the past that they would stand before us in a clear and beautiful unity. without the tantalizing vague- ness of detail, which generally characterizes our remem- brance of such stories. Our primary purpose, however, was to cultivate and give practice in effective and artistic narration. It is com- monly acknowledged with regret that the art of the racon- teur, if not fallen into disuse, is at least something of a rarity in these days of many books. Certainly it lacks the 'favoi enjoyed by it in the days of the bards and the Sagas. Since nothing gives greater pleasure and enjoyment, not only to children, but also to adults, than a good story effec- tively told, such an accomplishment is highly prized by the individual possessing it. Yet as the least favored mortals by persistent endeavor have attained distinction in this line. we have thought it well worth while to emulate their example. The following stories were selected: Parsifal, The Nibelungen Lied, The Story of Roland, liaust, Tristrzun and lsuelt, The .-Xenead, .-Xrthurian Cycle, Iiieoxvulf, Les Miser- ables, Aucassin and Nicolette, King Lear, Ruth, David, Queen Esther, Reynard the Fox.

This organization had its beginning in the Students, Prayer Meeting, the origin of which seems to have been contemporaneous with that of the school. These meetings were held either in the assembly room or in some of the various class rooms. In 1881. the Stu dents' Christian Association was organized and the upper room ofthe Conservatory fitted up for its use. In 1391, the Association was obliged to give up this room, but it was not long without a home. On November the eleventh, 1895, Mrs. Mary Starkxveather, by a generous gift of ten thousand dollars, made possible the erection of Starkweather Hall. Since its dedication, lllarch the twenty-sixth, 1897, this building has been the center of religious activity among the students, and has become endeared to many as the home of the Young Mens and Young VVomen's Christian Associations, into which the Students' Christian Association was subsequently divided. l7O 5 I , nung ilHPn'a Glhriatian Aaanriatinn Eleven years ago the men of the Michigan Ctate lNormal College formed an organization known as the Young Men's Christian Association. thus separating themselves, in part lrom the other members of the then Students' Christian Association. Two thoughts, at least, pro- moted that action. First, it placed the men of the college in closer touch with those of similar institutions of the State. Second. it gave the men a chance to consider those phases of life distinctly related to them individually. It is believed by the members that the talks given us Sunday afternoons will serve as seed sown on good ground, and that' perhaps unconsciously, we shall go forth better pre- pared to meet the real problems ol life than those neglecting this avenue ot training. T e prayer-meetings, too, instead of being dry and formal, are hours for careful med- itation and the utterance of our best thcughts. In fact, some of the leaders have given talks bespeaking moral, intellectual and spiritual advancement. To the men of this and coming years of Normal College life, We extend a hand of wel- come,-not simply to our 'ifeeds as social hours, but to each and every meeting and respon- sibility firmly believing that we shall be Well repaid for every hour at Starkvveather as growth comes only through effortg preparation through service, and success through labor. 172 President-F.

By means of the mid-week prayer meeting and the Sunday meetings they have received the inspiration and strength which will make their lives tell for the Master. Bible study has received a great impetus this year. Classes studying the life of Christ have been organized under the guidance of Dr. Hoyt, in connection with the Various Sunday Schools of the city. A study in the peda- gogy of the Bible has also been carried on, and there is a possibility of its becoming an elective in the college curri- culum. Not only has Bible study been pursued, but Mission study as Well. Various classes, including a training class, have been organized, and through them some students have been led to consecrate their lives to the great work of evangelizing the world. The social life of the Association must not be forgotten. At the receptions and social evenings acquaintances have been made and friendships formed which will last forever. This year, November the eleventh was observed as Starkweather Day. It is hoped that the revival of this cus- tom may become a tradition of the Association. Perhaps the prettiest event of the year is the annual May Morning Breakfast, when the fragrance of apple blossoms fill the hall. The work in the various departments is being promoted to its fullest extent. Year after year the Association be- comes more helpful, and more fully supplies a need in the lives of the young women of the college, which could scarce- ly be met by any organization other than the Young XYomen's Christian Association. l lj.

XVilcoX af ullrgv illratvrniiiva Colleges and fraternities have come to be apparently co- existent. This has not always been so. The entrance of fraternities into colleges was marked with suspicion. active antagonism and in many cases prohibition. Later, fraterni- ties came to be accepted by college faculties in the spirit of lfVhat cannot be cured must be endured. But today these barriers have been surmounted, and the fraternities seem to be as nrmly rooted in academic soil as the colleges them- selvesg their relations with their alumni, so close and con- stant as to make them an important bond between the college and its graduates. It is quite clear that the importance of the fraternity has steadily increased until it has reached a stage when it may, without assumption, claim to be a- shaping element in Ameri- can college life. Fraternities embody and perpetuate ideals of student I76 character and spirit. traditions of student actions, and stand- ards of student conduct. They have come to represent a living and unbroken relationship between the student in college and the graduate in the world. They are today the great educational influences which furnish the most avail- able means of raising the moral and mental tone of our colleges and universities, and of aiding undergraduates in a struggle against greater odds and temptations, and greater moral, social, and athletic distractions than the older genera- tion ever dreamed of. From the President, Vice-President and Chief justice of the United States. through all our educated classes, the pick of our alumni in position and influence are fraternity men. Let the fraternities be judged, not by Wealth or age or numbers, but by the results which they work out in the lives of their individual members. f4s'.,.

It was organize d four years ago for the purpose of creating and fos- tering friendly social relations among the Grand Rapids girls attending this institution. That such an organ- iation filled a long-felt want was clearly shown by the attendance at the hrst meeting. A constitution was drawn up and immediately signed by fourteen girls, and later in the year the membership reached as high twenty. Since that time the club has flourished until the present year, which shows an enrollment of thirty girls. The members endeavor to further the social life Of the club in every way possibleg business meetings are enlivened by occasional spreads, and annual parties, the precedent for which was established by the club in 1906, are still in vogue. They are trying to the best Of their ability to verify to their colleagues that which they will afterwards prove to the world. the truth of the home city's slogan. Grand Rapids Knows Plow. E. A. 19111. 197 Ilirrria fdnatitntv Gllnh Last October sixteen former students of the Ferris Institute met and reorganized the Ferris Institute Club, which had been founded the year before. Since then the membership has steadily increased until at the present time it numbers more than thirty students. During the fall quarter the members met nearly every w eek at the rooms of some member, and on December 4, 1909, the U. of M. and M. S. N. C. Ferris Institute Clubs held a joint party, an event long to be remembered by every member. During the winter quarter the meetings were less frequent, n ot because the members were less interestd in the club, but because they were so intensely engrossed in their school work that everything else became of secondary importance. The crowning event of the year was the joint banquet at Ann Arbor, which was attended by Mr. and Mrs. Ferris and Mr. Masselink, of Big Rapids, as guests of honor. Perhaps no other event during the year has as many pleasant memories connected with it. As our members at the close of the school year go forth into distant fields of duty, pleasant memories of our good times together will undoubtedly go with them. l mrnthvra Eugene Adair Nellie Hartson -laiiey Pinder Eleanor Anderson Ethel Hathaway Matilda Primeai: Emma Barth Clara Hines Catherine Rasmussen M856 BHITOYI Bertha Hoxie Elmer Rice Anna Block Kathrine Kinney Lydia Ripatte fone Bowen Sylvester Linck Carlton Runciman Esther Butters Edith Mecorney M.

Its purpose was to pro- mote a feeling of comradeship and loyalty. and to encourage wider and more intimate acquaintances among the Catholic students of the Normal. The Study Club, of which this is an offshoot, has been in existence a number of years. There gradually arose a desire among its members for the organization of a Catholic society which should be purely social in its nature. The movement resulted in the organiation of the Catholic Stu- dents' Club, which has now a membership of over one hundred. The student to whose untiring energy and enthusiasm, the work of organization and much of the success of the first year is due, is Arthur Lederle, our first president. He will be remembered as a member of the debating team in last year's contest with M. A. C. The management of the club this year was placed in most efficient hands when Miss Rose Donahue was chosen president. The other officers are! vice-president. Constance Palmer: secretary, Agnes Car- rollg and treasurer, joseph Cooney. The club meets regularly once a week in its rooms on the first Hoor of the school building back of the Catholic Church. The rooms. which were fitted up by the club, are very cosy and attractive. The present year has been a very active one. The club has had the pleasure of listening to several excellent addresses. Among these was a splendid talk on Evolution by the pastor, Fr. Kennedy. The year's work has been enlivened by many informal parties, the most elaborate of which was held on Halloween. The social affairs of the society culminated in a dancing party given before Lent. All members agree in saying that the club has passed beyond the experimental stage, and has demonstrated its ability to maintain a successful existence. Its Alumni wish the club a happy and prosperous future. . Cbgmnaainm Gbrganizzzitinna Soon after the opening of the Gymnasium work in the fall, the members of one enthusiastic class discov- ering that they were finding here an opportunity for making congenial acquaintances, conceived the idea of organizing as a club. They did so, naming themselves after the teacher of the class, the Baushke Club. In this way opportunities for companionship were given during the fall quarter, when the junior girls often feel so alone. Very soon after their organization, other classes followed their example, and there were formed in this manner some six or seven clubs. Some held gatherings in the gymnasium with the teachers as guests,iand, donning gymnasium garb, had a pleasant, informal time. The Halcyon Club, whose membership is not limited to any one class, has retained its organization to some extent throughout the year. The members of the Physical Education faculty, a s well as the President of the College, have approved and encouraged these organizations as means of forming college friendships, and thus affording opportunities for experiencing the pleasure of college sisterhood.

Mohrdiek Althea Gardner 4 x 1' f If A 1 Uhr I-Hnair iKunm Such a dear, dusky, sombre room as it was, not oppres- sively sombre but with just that mellow, sober darkness that is more cheerful than a too obtrusive brightness. A beautiful room, toog not that it was beautifully furnished, for the old Turkish rug had faded to an almost uniform dimness and the worn furniture was neither new nor fash- ionable. But it was the music and the instruments that really furnished the room, not the mere accidents of chairs and table, For across one corner stood a grand piano, and on it lay two fiddles snugly bedded in their velvet-lined cases. In the opposite corner a trombone in its oddly-shaped black case stood upright and amicably shared its quarters with a guitar. Quite alone on the mantel reposed a mandolin as being only an amateur instrument at best and not to be classed with such real and earnest musical workers as the violins and the piano. As for the music, sheet-music, orchestra scores, vocal music, instrumental music-some- times it really seemed as if there were nothing in the room but music. Poor dear old room that lies forsaken and still now and never answers to the fiddles with little melodious echoes. Poor silent room! I wonder if it too remembers and regrets the old days and the music and the brave sweet- souled lives that broke out into melody within its walls. Perhaps it too remembers that spring afternoon that always comes into mind when I think of the music room. It was late in April and the purple spring twilight was just entering the room and softening its outlines and colors into a harmonious duskiness. Through the western window some crimson rays of sunshine could be seen and there was still enough light in the room to show, on the table, a bowl A-,-Y.,--Y-..l....,,... cf white narcissi that were quite loading the air with their fragrance. One other figure in the room clearly outlined by the western glow: that of the violin and its master. The crim- son rays made little fountains of red light on the fiddle's polished slides and they gave an odd look to the player's delicate-featured face. Around the room were grouped the rest of us, the family and the onlooker who almost felt that I too Hbelongedf' There in the darkest corner, his keen, kindly face scarcely visible through the dusk, sat the father, and near him was that quiet little woman whose gentle influence was the ruling power of the whole household. It was a very peaceful little group just then, peaceful with that brave peace that knows sorrow and poverty and is still peaceful. And then the violinist drew his bow across the strings and there was nothing in the world for us but the music. Such strong, steady. beautiful tones as they were, such gentle cadences and slides, such a mastery of the player over the instrument and such mastery of the music over the musician. It was all very wonderful and almost bewildering in its beauty to such a novice as I, and while I sat lost in the marvel of the mellow low-tone voice of the G string and the dulcet response of the A, the violinis supple voice drifted. glided into that reverie 'fTraumerei.', It was very beautiful and very brave and very sad. There were broken ambitions and marred hopes in the violin's song. but it was after all a very peaceful song: peaceful and with something like a benediction in its depths of repose. Evil thought and ways must have Hed perforce for the time in the presence of that pure voice. Ah, well, violins speak but a brief while and Sunsets fade too quickly, but sometimes when the April twilight falls upon the earth and the white narcissi fill the dusk with their fragrance I am once more in the old music room and the violin still sings through the darkness. lXIARoU12RrTE Kisiws, ill. zziri' Est illllnthmfa nrtraii 'THe who, from zone to zone, Guides throuh the boundless sky thy certain flight. In the long way that I must tread alone, W'ill lead my steps arightf' He-and my mothcrls portrait, said the girl softly, and closed the book in her lap very gently. The portrait above the mantel was done all in browns. The girl was glad the artist had not used other colors. Per- haps he would have made some of them too intense or not quite true. VVith only white and shades of dark brown she could give to the features any coloring she wished, and her fancy did not always paint with brushes from the same palette. The background was very dark, almost black, and ac- centuated the paleness of the face, which was almost as white as the small white ruche in the neck of her gown. The deep color told no tale of her surroundingsg the face -the face was the whole theme, and the background was as fathomless as the eternity which had obscured her life at last. The gown showed only a little lighterg but shadowy out- lines of darker brown brocaded flowers in relief were quite discernible. The bodice was cut in the plain fashion of the eighties, with a fulled piece of plain brown silk extending down the front. But the outline of the waist was lost and blended with the background a bit below the shoulders. A wide pin of slender wire on which there was a pendant was the sole ornament of the gown. The girl knew the pendant. She had heard her mother tell of that memorable time in her own childhood when her mothers soldier brothers spent their last night with them, on their way to join McClellan and his army of the Potomac. There were three of them, Abel, Cuthbert and Newton. The morning they went away ewton took the little girl on his knee and kissed her and gave her a little gold dollar. Abel came home badly wounded and looked older by years. Cuthbert, the hand- some, fair-haired lad of nineteen, they told them, was buried with countless others killed in the battle of the Wilderness. 'N Newton never came back. And the little gold coin hung on the brooch in her motherfs portrait. Now the sun was low in the west and the red glow of its beams fell full on the face of that hung above the mantel, till a faint flush seemed to tinge the cheeks that always looked so pale against the dark background. The girl remembered how her grandmother had sometimes pat- ted her rosy cheeks and told her how her mother's cheeks had once been a delicate pink like the heart of new apple blossoms, less vivid than her own, while her throat and forehead were very, very white-as white as Italian marble. She was even so when the portrait was made. It was the picture of a woman who had blossomed from a frail child- hood into a stronger maturity. The brows were not heavily defined or high archedg the eyes were neither large nor lustrous, but kindly and half timid, eyes which tears quickly dim. It was her twenty-sixth year. the year before her marriage, and no-w there was in them the light that hoped all things, believed all things, and will endure all things if need be. The mouth was rather wide. The thin, sensitive lips closed lightly in a line that suggested perpetual sun- shine somewhere and eternal calm as long as the hills that guard the valley shall stay to shelter it. The chin was rather small and might perhaps be firm, but not unless it must. The white forehead was very broad and high like that of a scholar. Thick short locks of dark brown hair fell in heavy curls across the upper part to take away the sharpness of its high outline. Few women have such a forehead. The face was turned just enough to show one small white ear set close to the head. Held quite to one side in the waves of dark hair was a cluster of acorns. The girl had seen them elsewhere. They were dark brown velvet at the base with golden brown tips. She looked long and steadfastly at the picture till the outline of the most delicate and sensitive face in the world faded from her sight in the gloaming. 'Hlfle'-and my mother's portrait, she breathed to herself in the silence of the gathering twilight. LA XYERNIZ TQNOWLES. Eizrraanri Smlntamixa ETHEL BRICE.

Wlhat subtle sugges- tions the words hold for every girl of us who has lived those halcyon hours as students of the Normal College. And this was a marvellous May evening. Ethel felt the spell of it all as she sat in her room and gazed despairingly about her as if seeking sympathy in the some two dozen banners of colleges fthe location of most of which she had no knowledgej, or the hundred pretty postcards whose fantastic arrangement, together with posters, pictures and pennants, produced the combined effect of an art gallery and museum. The warm wind stole to her through an open window and a myriad sounds and scents of spring called her to come out and greet the May. But Ethel scowled and her face wore an expression of utter distraction as she burst forth in a torrent of exclamations to a fellow student who, en route to her own room down the hall, bobbed her head in at Ethel's door. . A Oh, Grace, I am nearly wild! I had to sing at church this morning, and you know I had to go to the dentist yes- terday afternoon-and now it's almost time for that car, and 'lack is coming-and I've got to fix my hair-fand I haven't touched that beastly lesson-plan for tomorrow. You know how it has been-there was the party at the Country Club Friday night and one at the Gym last nightg but no one will think of that, least of all the critic. Oh yes, I like her-she is a darling, but she is such a perfect walking encyclopedia that she can't understand how dreadful it is to be so stupid and not know a thing about teaching little Marys and Toms. But lesson plans have to be in on time. The sun may cease to shine, I-Ialley's comet may wipe Training school, lesson plans, and everything else ollf the face of the earth next week-but lesson plans have to be in just the same. And to think I haven't seen jack for a whole week! Thanks! Ilm glad you like it. No, I haven't worn it before. Oh, thank you, yes, I'll get it done all right after a fashion, for the time set for handing in lesson plans is as changeless as the polesg but I havent an idea about teaching drawing to young Ypsiluvians tonight-but here goes- So saying, Ethel grasped her pen in a tragic manner, and drawing several sheets of number 2 note paper toward her, set desperately at work. Progress was somewhat hin- dered by frequent furtive glances at the little clock on the mantel and occasional interruptions for reveries as Ethel gazed out into the starlight night, and dimples carried on a momentary flirtation in her fair cheeks, only to be fright- ened away by a frown as work was resumed. However, the much despised task was completed at last, and next morning a mystihed and astonished critic teacher found in the plan basket a production that ran somewhat as follows: Materials: Paper, paints, talcum, pans. chafing dish. brushes, Baker's chocolate, and blotters. Aim: General aim-To lead the children to appreciate the beautiful in my blue mull in nature and thus teach Jack to love all things beautiful in the universe. Specific aim- To help children to see and express in color the beautiful red and gold tints in a moonlight night. Presentation: I-Iow many of you children noticed the colors in the stars at sunset last evening? Hands, please. Very well, what colors did you see? Answer: Red, yellow, blue and blonde. VVhich colors did you like best? Answer: I like yellow hair better than red, and blue better than brown. Now, children, we are going to paint a sunset stroll this evening. We will put on a wash of light blue first and then add the other colors. I will then show the class how to blend the moonlight tints and take care to neutralize all colors. Close and Assignment: Review lesson of last Sunday. Emphasize unpleasant effect produced by bright red of Anna's hair. Arouse interest in lesson at Grangeifs next Wiednesday. Speak of beauty in the spring flowers. Assign singing of mayflowers and paint an Irish Love Song. Collect day's papers and dismiss. ' C. C. VV. -...- ' Q-,L-mf? .qip 4 0 4 H ',' Wt' wg.. .

Or it might be partially attributed to the persistent Warmth and balmy beauty of the spring weather, during which the strength always increases inversely as the square of the lesson assigned. f'VVell. my cake's dough for the party Saturday nightf' Beth sank down disconsolately upon the davenport, and wearily laid her head on a pile of sofa pillows. I-Ioyt's History of Education, f'The Translation of the Ars Poeticaf' and Grose's Specimens of English Composition tumbled unnoticed into a rumpled heap on the tio-or. f'VV'hy, whatjs the trouble, dearie? You've promised to go. Oh yes, but can't I call it off as I have all the parties for the last six weeks, for the sake of spending a charming hour with Horace or Livy in that antique and beloved Latin room P Ch Beth, what has been assigned now? I might have known if I bolted class this morning I'd have to pay for it some way. Clara's face was a puzzle of regret for the past and fearful anxiety of a horrible near future. Beth, with provoking deliberation, sat up tragically amidst her pillows and books. '4Clara Hall, the map of the Roman Forum is to be handed in next Monday morning. It had been said. Clara sat down, chiefly because she was unable to stand after the shock. And we haven't even started themf' she gasped. XN7hy, Beth, can we finish them even if we cut the party? :Ch yes, Clara dear, one can reproduce the Forum, write a volume for Advanced Rhetoric, and read the Leonard and Gertrudel' all in an hour. Anything is pos- sible in this institution of learningf' Anything and everything but a little pleasure, and Clara fell back in the morris-chair, completely wilted. Beth arose, she always arose in wrath, and rose to the occasion when Clara looked like that. I tell you, Clara I-Iall, we'll go to that party if I have to bunch three classes Monday forenoon, and work all day Sunday into the bargain. But whatgood will working on Sunday do? We can't bring the maps down here, and there's no getting into the Normalf' Beth's face was blank for a moment, then her lips set with determination. f'Trust me for getting into the Normal Sunday. Iim going Saturday night if it is the last party Illl ever attend, and I'm divorced from the Normal College into the bargain. It was time for supper. so conversation and plans ceased, and in the busy whirl of lessons and other duties nothing more was said. Perhaps they purposely refrained from mentioning the subject because of the slight worry in each girlish heart. Friday evening and the greater part of Saturday saw the two fair heads laboriously bent over those ancient maps of Rome and modern maps of distraction, but, as Clara hopefully remarked, it would take a year for Dr. D'Ooge himself to draw it the Way he expects us to. The clock struck live Saturday afternoon and Beth jumped up from the table Where they were working. 'flVe must go, she said. lust leave the work here and wt-'ll finish it tomorrow. But Beth, how are we going to get in ? Come with me, and l'll show you. Beth skipped out of the room and led the way into Mr. Norris's room, and from thence through the little slide door at the back into room 36. Here she stepped to the window and pointed exultantly to the fire escape. Then, raising the window, she placed a pencil lengthwise under it and let it down again so that it appeared to be entirely down and still was not latched. Nothing easier in the world, Clara dear. Now our fortune is assuredg we can go to the party in peace' All the anticipated pleasure of the evening was realized in the extreme, and Sunday afternoon Beth and Clara were ready to resume their struggle. They excitedly watched their chance when no one was passing, and quietly and quickly stole up the fire escape. Clara was in abject terror every minute. lt seemed to take an age for Beth to raise the window, and for them to get safely out of sight on the other side. Nothing interfered with their plans for beginning Work, but oh! that map of the Roman Forum! They worked steadily. The room was beginning to grow dark, the maps were not quite finished, and they dared not strike a light. Clara was the first to look up, VVe simply cannot finish to-night, Tve strained my eyes now till they ache. No, we can't get through, but we've certainly done all we could, and Tm going to hand mine in as it is anyway. Beth threw down her pencil as she said it, and rising, stretched wearily. 1' 'Twould be rather exciting, wouldnyt it, Clara, if we should meet President Jones at the foot of the fire escape ? Oh. Beth, don't mention such a horrible thing. Tcl simply die on the spot if any of the faculty should see usf' Cheer up, Clara. Its growing dark. T hardly think we'd be recognized. Tm going. Come on. Beth really meant to go. but fate intervened. They got no farther than the little back door in Professor Norris's room, for that door was shut and refused to open. Beth worked at it confidently for a moment. then she was a little agitated. VVliy. Clara. this surely doesnt latch and lock on the other side. does it ? Clara gasped. Oh horrors, no, it cant! But it re- mained for her to prove it. They took turns working at the door, but no useg it was locked. Clara threw herself into a seat. NVhat shall We do ? For once Beth could not answer. She went to the win- dows. but no means of escape there. They hurried out into the hall and down the corridor, trying every door that would admit them to a fire-escape exit. Their efforts were long continued but futile. It was now quite dark. There was no other alternative: they must remain in the building all night. Tired from the day's work. and from the exertion of the evening before. they lay down on the long seats in the Latin room, not a little dubious over what the morning would bring forth should anyone discover that they had been there all night. They had worn no wraps and the room was rather cool: they had nothing but their arms for pillows: but weariness overcame all. Beth spoke- last. f'XVell. Clara. I always did have a case on this Latin room, but T didn't ever expect to spend the night here. Clara made no answer. and soon both were soundly sleeping. XYhat was it that wakened them? Both sat up with a start. Each spoke the other's name. They were not in doubt as to where they wereg all circumstances occasioning their present condition were clearly in their minds, but why had they wakened? They listened breathlesslyg neither dared speak. The silence was oppressive, the darkness impenetrable. They knew something was wrongg it seemed as though someone else was in the roomy Yet they had closed the door into the hall-'Ito shut out some of the darkness,'l Beth said. The girls could never tell afterward how long the sus- pense lasted, but at length they heard a faint noise, as of someone stealthily creaking down the corridor. The girls were standing now. holding each other's hands in a nervous grip. They wanted to move but they could not. Clara tried to scream, but no sound was emitted. The stealthy creak- ing had developed into slow, shuffling footsteps. Those footsteps halted: it must be at the door of the room in which 'Er l they were. NVhat could anyone want in there? Clara thought of her watch, her rings. She would gladly give anything she had. Beth thought of nothing. Her mind was a blank, even lacking that power which it possessed at birth, of Hentering into relation with its environment through the nervous system. Her hands grew limp in Clara's. Her body swayed backward. She fell heavily to the floor. One terrible instant, and the door was thrown quickly open. The light of a lantern flashed on the blood- less face and terror-set eyes of Clara. 'flhfhat in hen are you doing?', The well-known sympa- thetic face of the old night watchman peered kindly and wonderingly into the terror-stricken face of the young girl. The best friend of the troubled Normal student had come to the rescue. B. B. 'lil ' '- , K, 71 Q ,,,,, ff .41 1 1 iff X ' ff' 1 W :g f 1 9:-L :P , ' uf - j!

Educators are constantly crying the dangers of over-emphasis, while, as opposed to them, the inclina- tions of the popular mind lend greatest stress and favor to this branch of student life. To strike a happy medium, to retain the beneiicial spirit of enthusiasm and loyalty engendered by athletics, and yet to more effectually merge them into the Whole realm of college activity is the problem which con fronts the educator today. To an increasing extent, athletics at the Normal are being conducted along this line of compromise. Without de- stroying the healthy atmosphere created by keen competitive sports, the directors are seeking to cultivate a broader con- ception, and a more practical and beneficial attitude as regards this essential branch of the curriculum. The fact that a certain amount of physical training is required contributes strongly to the favor of this idea. The participation of the entire student body in some form of athletics stimulates their interest and concern in its practical phase, and encourages the impression the faculty above all are anxious to create, th at Normal athletics are not for the certain few of superior qualifications, but for the beneficial development of the whole. This, it is held, is the principle that should underlie all collegiate athletics, the educative and physical value of clean, healthy, competitive games and exercises. Such a system, however, does not frown on individual superiority, and prohibit the organization of strong college teams. Indeed, such a plan is destined to strengthen materially the standing of the institution in athletic circles, for its Working principle reveals the qualifications of the entire stud ent body. Where, then, heretofore the large majority of students had refrained from tryouts in the preliminary work attending the picking of a team, simply because they deemed their chances slim, now the coach Finds every student at his diSpOS21l, and is able to speedily determine the promising mate- rial, and build up from the Whole a strong group of players. This, then, has been in a large measure responsible for Normal's excellent standing in intercollegiate athletic cir- cles, a reputation she has not only sustained, but strengthened by her work during the past year. 227 Girlz' Ifiazkvt Zlzrll---illirrit Gram Captain .... .....

Loyal alumni, remem- bering them, return when possible to witness their occur- rence and relate them to those who are to follow in their footsteps on college campus and in college halls. Such is the Senior-junior Girls, Indoor Meet, which had its seventh recurrence on the evenings of March eigh- teenth and nineteenth. In instituting this contest, the thought was to enlist the enthusiasm of large numbers of people, inducing many to do some competitive athletic work, rather than to have few do much. This has resulted in having three or four hundred girls enter, all of whom have been able to contribute points to the class score. Mr. Frank Showerman, the jeweler, with oft-repeated generosity, gave this year a beautiful silver cup which bears the inscription, Seniors, 1910. Each year the list of events has varied somewhat, but in the main has consisted of events in which large numbers might take part. The addi- tion was made this year of Swedish classes, conducted by class members. No attempts are made to have individuals star, so little attention is paid to records, but this year Miss Mary Palmer of the Senior class made the highest running jump in meet history, and cleared the bar at four feet six inches.

The paper reported that there was One ball, one strike, and no game. In a car- toon, Pluvius, with a grin on his face, was represented sit- ting on a big cloud, eating an immense watermelon. The juice from this dripped down on the diamond and, in fact, over the whole held, so that the game was not one minute long when the players all had to make a home run for they dove for cover. T meanj. Une lone enthusiast whose lace reflected the weather remained on the bleachers crying, This is hercelu and, although completely soaked, the faith- ful umpire remained to post the announcement that Owing to the wet weather the game will be called offf' How much different is the spectacle today! Pluvius is gone, and Sol is looking down as if he really enjoyed a good game. The bleachers are all full and as I reach the grounds I can scarcely get a chance to peek around the wire netting. Adrian is at the bat. Their coach doubles himself up and croaks like a hoarse frog, Pass 'em over, old man! Now you're getting it! Hit 'em, old boy! Run, Teddy, run V' Teddy sends a fair ball and now he does run. I-Te makes first and also second base. and at the next bat he makes a home run. This next batsman makes a score, too, Vlfhat do you think of that? Two scores for their side in one inning! Normal is now at the bat. Gur little coach jumps up and down as if he were full of springs, while he yells: Pick out a good one, old boy! This ball goes right where you want it! Right where you want it, old boy! fI'll watch and see if T know a good ball when T see it.j This must be a :'twirler. It twists around, comes down and hits the umpire on the leg. The coach still yells: :'Come on. jenny, never mind, Jenny, don't be discouraged V' There, that man is right in front of me now. T shall have to use my ear mindu alone for awhile. Gur team ought to do something with all this yelling. It splits the air! It has even split the boards over on that fence! T can't hear the coach any more for the girls shout: f'There you are, Stone! There you are, Stone! Oh! you kid! Yell, people we'll beat 'eml Yell, people, we'll beat 'em!', T can see jenny trying to steal a base. All right! Come on, Iennyli' I catch a glimpse of the pitcher. Say, he has a smile that would thaw an iceberg '.l' He wears it all the time, too. I suppose he chews that gum to help him keep his nerve. But how about the smile of the elongated 251 Adrian twirler ? The girls seem to have him started. He hits the next man up, and all Ellie has to do is to wait for four Wide ones. But here comes Nat with a look on his face which says: Fil do or die' He looks two balls over, then picks out one to his liking.

She Stoops to Conquer' has an unusual significance in the history of English literature in that it overthrew, almost in an evening. a school of dramatic criticism. The play was written in 1771. but was not well received by the critics and theatrical managers, as the English stage at that time was dominated by what was known as Ugenteel or sentimental comedy. There was a great horror of broad, rollicking humor, which was thought low. Goldsmith believed that this was all wrong, and his play. being of an entirely differ- ent type, was not put on the stage until 1773. Its success was instantaneous, and Goldsmith was vindicated by the public, who broke away from the critics and had a good. honest laugh. J-- 1. -wswlg' 1 ' , , Q ex ' -.U G 1 , M!
