T WAS in the summer of 1892 that the idea of a college annual for the Michi- gan State Normal College was first conceived of by Professor Lathers, our present oratory teacher. During that summer Professor Lath- ers and his college roommate Went to the Chatauqua at Genesse Lake, a lake noted for its beautiful sunrises. From their chamber windows the young men used to watch the dawn as it slowly unveiled the heavens and revealed the sun, beautiful in all its radiance. During the summer Professor Lathe-rs became acquainted with sev- eral young men from the various colleges. As acquaintance ripened into friendship, and they became better acquainted all of the boys talked about their past lives and especially that epoch in their lives called the college course. From one thing to another the boys finally talked about their college annuals.. What could Mr. Lathers say about his college annual? His college had no annual class book. It was then the idea was first brought to this mind. After that he used often to think about it and as thought brings meditation, in this case meditation brought action. When he returned to college in the fall he suggested the idea to some of his class- mates. They thought about it for a while and spread the suggestion among the members of the Senior Class. Finally a meeting was called and the matter laid before the class who decided to publish an annual called AURORA. And where could' they have found a better name for our annual? Does not Aurora mean dawn? You have all heard the pretty myth of Aurora, the fair goddess of dawn whose rosy-tipped fingers flung wide the gates of morn, and who then flashed across the sky to announce her master's coming? So it seems to us that our graduating from college is not the end as so many think, but is the dawn. We are just on lk - -----1--2---E---1-f -w - - ...i .sas--. --W---H -- -- ---f - -- 3 Ji 'sq 1 -- ,. .1-gg: r V , -,T- , ala: 'T -'- - ,FJ l dll. 4 lll l lvj W. l il l l r lil. ,zz lj, ,lff lll j.

Up to this time we have been working hard and now as we graduate, and our annual announces that fact, we are just starting forth on life's journey. We have so much to do and so much planned for that it makes us wonder how near we will come to realizing our ideals. But as this is just the dawn we have the whole day before us and in the thought of Paul Richter, we have arrived at that solemn moment when we are placed at the entrance of two roads- one leading into a peaceful, sunny land, covered with a fer- tile harvest, and resounding with soft, sweet songs, the other leading the wanderer into a deep, dark cave, whence there was no issue, where poison flowed instead of water, and where serpents hissed and crawled. But due to the ever helping and guiding hand of our teachers we have chosen the narrow road. As we travel on this road marked by the milestones, faith, hope, charity and all of the other ideal milestones which have been instilled in our minds by our teachers, we make those things our own. So we pass each one, still adhering to its ideal and striving on until we reach our destination. . Thus it is that the AURORA has always stood for the dawn of each succeeding class and the wish of the Class of 1911 is that the dawn may always appeal to other classes as it has to us, in the words of Somerville and so we, the Class of 1911, all join in fervid chorus: Hail, gentle Dawn! iwild blushing godless hail. Rejoiced I see the purple mantle spread O'er half the skies, gems pave thy radiant way And Orient pearls from every shrub depends. GRACE HELEN BROWN --,W - ...l-E...-T. .

Glullrgr Spirit f, 1 ee fHERE is no doubt but that the College Spirit -' t shown by the student body of this institu- tion does not seem to be up to the usual EF standard. Realizing this condition of ' affairs an attempt has been made during the past year to ascertain the cause, and if V L possible to start a movement for the pur- pose of remedying it. Many and varied reasons were advanced in explanation but most of them may be summed up in one sentence or as the Normal boy popularly expresses it, HThere are too many girls and anyway the course here is too short for anyone to become thoroughly imbued with genuine college spirit. The latter part of the statement, we will admit may contain an element of truth, yet it fails to explain the deplorable lack of interest in ordinary college affairs. As for the predominance of the co-ed element interfering with college spirit it can only be said that this is a weak excuse of the faint-hearted male portion of the student body and cannot be seriously considered. As a rule the Ypsi. girl l' is not found wanting. She is the typical 33 1 W dd d d djjigif -Q -iii Qflif 5 S34 American College Girl, and to accuse her of lack of spirit or loy- alty is certainly unjust, while on the other hand no college in Michigan can boast of greater spirit among its men, especially when numbers are taken into consideration. Thus we find that there is spirit a plenty. Then you will say, Why all this fuss about a lack of spirit? In answer to this be it said that college spirit is like a flame-unless it is kept kindled, it dies down and gradually goes out altogether. This is the situa- tion at Ypsi. What are you doing to keep the spirit of your Alma Mater burning brightly? Are you doing your part? A proper expression of college spirit involves the fulilling of duties. Are you taking an unsellish, energetic interest in those things in which you may not be interested, but which requires your attention? Because you owe it to the institution of which you are a part to keep these things moving. It is surprising how many are unable to answer these queries in the affirmative. Is it because Ypsi. students do not care or can it be that they do not realize what they owe to themselves as well as to their college? Members of such social organizations as sororities, fraterni- ties, city, county and state clubs have an opportunity to do more than that part of the student body which is unorganized. It is to be regretted if the aforesaid organizations cannot be induced to work together for the purpose of creating a greater college spirit. Members of such organizations must not forget that loyalty and duty to their college always comes hrst and foremost. College spirit is not an idle sentiment as can be evidenced by the attitude taken toward it by such celebrities as the President of the United States, Justices of the Supreme Court, and every man who is a college graduate regardless of his walk in life. College spirit puts every college man and woman on the same level whether they be Presidents of our country or only an Ypsi. Hschoolmarml' in embryo. We are students now but soon we will go out to teach Young America. Why not, among other things, be able to teach them the meaning of college spirit as well as imbue each with this char- acteristic which is the wonder and admiration of the foreigners and the boast of the true American. So let us all join in the toast To a Greater College Spiritil' , . ,y X l ' r . QM V f N A K 1 iff! if XXV I xx V , 'qffw f vc' .4 ,XX X ggx 4, ,I ,I I H-X I . x. . a 5 L , 'X 1 , .u. , 34 I . X.

RUE appreciation demands such sound judgment ip Fljjarp and such refined sensibilities as are capable of perceiving and discriminating the niceties and subtle specialties of character of him who is appreciated. For this reason any expression ipl' of appreciation of President Jones that I may Q offer must be more truly an expression of admiration than one of capable appreciation. ' Unity of purpose and common ideals make for effective work. Institutionally we unite in a common cause, led by one in whom teacher and pupil have like and never swerving confidence, one whose judgments are well ripened by successful experience, whose policies are broad and extended. Need we seek further the greatest factor in our success? In President Jones unite the requisites of a truly great man, a union of the good, the beautiful, the true, with an untiring effort toward accomplish- ment. In him excellence, grace, and reality are accomplished ideals. Through his unique penetration, his ability, while exerting continuous iniiuence, to bide and recognize the auspicious moment, his opportune and impartial diplomacy, his consummate prudence, and his kindly temperament, he has made actual that which seemed to us impossible and futile. Little we know of the difficulties met, of the means employed, other than that they were good and fair, yet many are the results we have seen attained, much the good we have seen done. And how much there is we know not of l Man judges man by his works, there is One who judges by the work of which man knows naught. Many a student who in after years lives over in day dreams the scenes of Normal College life will close the picture reverently and lovingly with the kindly features of him who now guides the destinies of our college. Nor will students be alone in this recollection. All admire President L. I-I. Jones, the scholar, all love Lewis H. Jones the man. Our appreciation is still unexpressed. Do we not voice the concensus of opinion, both of those whose great good fortune it has been to know him personally and intimately and those who have been less privileged in his acquaintance, when we say that our President is a man designed for a noble work by the Great Designer whose plans fail not of fulfillment !-F.

We realize that upon your efforts and influence rest the real value as well as the recognized reputation of our college. As day by day we traverse the halls, and pass in and out of the classrooms, we know we are in the presence of, and gaining the bene- fit of intellectual intercourse with, those who stand upon a higher plane of learning than our own. Witli this knowledge and with the help and noble aspirations gained, when in situations with which we feel ourselves unable to cope, we coine to you for inoral aid and inspiration, knowing that now as inhthe past you will not fail us, we appreciate that true manhood and 'womanhood are ever seeking to help and uplift others.

As our head librarian, Miss Waltori, said a short time ago, 'lWe are a great big family here, and many life-long friendships have been formed in this department of our Alma Mater. To the new student assistants entering the library any quarter in the year, Miss Waltoiir gives her excellent library-lectures or talks once. a week. The lectures are on such subjects as the use of the card catalogue, the arrangement of the books in this library under the Dewey Decimal System, the indexes to periodicals, books in series, and special reference books. Besides this instruc- tion many helpful hints as to studies pursued, courses to be chosen, and our conduct while here, are offered by Miss Walton as helpful suggestions to these new assistants. , After the first 'quarter of lectures actual work at the delivery desk is begun by the assistants, who work one hour a day giving out books, looking up references, and doing, in a modest way, the regular work of a library assistant in the circulating and reference department. The student assistants have still further the advan- tage of access to the book stacks at all hours that the library is open, and certain other privileges. Great liberty in the use of the library books is given, and much use of them is surely made by the assisstants. A more thorough knowledge of books is gained by so constantly working with them. It is always easier to find the best references for a certain subject, when the merits of differ- ent books can be seen, by comparing them with each other at the same moment as they are seen together in the same stack. Certainly one of the dearest memories to ns, who have had the privilege to be called library assistants, when we leave our college to go out to our work in the world will be that of the Michigan State Normal College Library.

In thus creating the occasion, or turning it to account in successful issue, two personal attributes are essential-ability and preparation. The former of these is a natural endowment, but the second is largely under your own control. The years you have spent in the Normal College have been largely years of preparation. You are now to go forth to use in active work the full measure of yo11r native ability, enhanced by such preparation as the Normal College has been able to give you. Much of this preparation has been the forma- tion of ideals and the consideration of methods by which these ideals of life and conduct may be made real in the lives of the young people whom you teach. The Normal College sends with you high hopes and warm good will. L. H. JONES, President Michigan State Normal College.

The character of the class is a reflection of our life here. And as the bright sun of the Wide universe chases the darkness of the first ten years of the twen- tieth century before it and gives morning light to the new, so the Senior Class of 1911 stands on the threshold of the intel- lectual world, a shining light of many years to come. year for our country, and each institution in the land, straining every nerve to excel, puts forth the best possible specimens of its work. This Normal College has felt this impulse, and lo! the class of 1911, with all modesty, they claim to be the greatest and largest class ever graduated from the oldest normal college west of the Alleghanies. It might be said, when we receive the precious sheep skin, that we finished our education, but it is not so. More truly it may be said we are just beginning. We have been collecting weapons for life's warfare, their temper is yet untried, but the strife is about to begin, and when next September calls the children from their long vacation they will see among the choicest of the land many of the class of '11, called to be Guide, Phil- osopher, and Friend for the coming yearf' , As we go forth in June it will be with sadness and regret. Our short life here has been one of pleasure and good will. We have come in contact with many lives every day, and we hope we have spent the moments in such a way that the world is better for our having lived in it. Strong ties have drawn together close circles of friends. These must now be broken and scattered far and Wide. The month of June sees the class entire for the last time. But the class spirit will live.

At their head was the Vice-President of the class, Miss Jessie Nourse, and the Ivy Day orator, Miss Helen Wright. The effect of the march was brightened by ropes of ivy, festooned from shoulder to shoulder, and the white gowns to carry out the colors of the college. In the annual U Walk Around the Conservatory was visited first, where Miss Helen Richmond from the green bank gave a short speech. At the Gymnasium Miss Grace H. Brown spoke of the many victories Won there. Next the procession moved to the Training School, that balance which tries us all, where Miss Martha Cawood suggested that the practice of putting the training school in a distorted light be abandoned for the comfort of all concerned. Starkweather was next in line of march, and happy memories and good thoughts were uppermost as a halt was made and Lucille Clunie spoke of the good influences of Starkweather and its hearty welcome to all. At the Science Building Miss Ada Coleman spoke gratefully of the debt of all the Seniors to the Faculty. Following the Walk Around the procession moved to the front campus where the Ivy Day oration was delivered by Helen Wright, the ivy formally planted, and the Ivy Day trowel given over to the Juniors. This ceremony closed with the Ivy Day song, particularly our own. and therefore doubly dear, it being written by a former graduate and arranged by Professor Frederick Pease. THEO F. HAL!-3.

The words of the Sage of Judea are bearing fruit in this, the twentieth century- VVhosoever would become great among you shall be your ministerg and whosoever would be first among you shall be your servantfl No vocation offers wider opportunities for genuine service, for the generous giving of one's self, than does that of the teacher. But the teacher cannot enter upon his sacred mission without realizing that, next to honest determination and sincere devotion, careful and faithful preparation is a prime requisite for large and efficient service. The recognition of that fact on the part of a steadily increasing number of students is resulting in a keener appreciation of the value of the Junior Degree course offered in this institution, and from year to year more names appear upon the list of third-year graduates. The opportunities and advantages of this third year suggest large possibilities to the earnest student. Their value is not one to be estimated in bare terms of dollars and cents, but it is one to be reckoned in the nobler terms of usefulness and efiiciency. There is the opportunity to become more thoroughly grounded in each subject, hence fewer mistakes in the active Work of teaching-and mistakes are vital. There. is the greater satisfaction because of the greater satisfaction because of better preparation, seeing things in a truer perspective. There is the keener desire for deeper and broader knowledge, which will often correct false and superficial ideas in the more profound matters of human thought. There is the enlarged reputation from extended work, which means increased infinence and power. And lastly, it is the wider acquaintance and prolonged association with the teachers of the college and their infiuences. This last constitutes in no small degree that subtle H human touch 'l Qas President Jones likes to put itj which quietly and unconsciously arouses worthy aspirations, builds lofty ideals, and molds noble characters. In view of these opportunities of individual growth and develop- ment, for the sake of the children in this and other commonwealths, in the name of the teaching profession, and with the profoundest respect for the Michigan State Normal College and that for which it stands, every loyal B. Pd. alumnus cherishes the hope that the time may come-and may it come soon-when this third year's work shall be a required part of the Life Certihcate course. Samuel P.

The upper story lights, the hurrying to classes, the pleasant toned Good Mornings 3' the ZS 7 chattering of merry voices and all other sounds of student life are suspended. The very atmosphere seems less invigorating, being less inspired by ambitious students. At such times I have almost fancied that the winds hushed, and that the sunny landscape, with its fresh green tints melting into blue haze, passed under a calm. The wind hreatthed soft me lover's sigh, And oft renewed seenfd oft, to die. With breathless pause between. O who, with speech of war and woes, Vlfould wish to break the soft repose Of such enchanting scene In Well was it ordained that Ypsilanti should have a time of rest. The peaceful calm which reigns over the town has its mental influence, every mental action is charmed down and we feel the sweet repose of mind coming back to us. For my part, there are feelings that visit me in a partially deserted town amid the calm serenity of nature which I experience nowhere else, and if not a deeper thinker, I think I am a better person during a calm than when caught in life's whirl. G. H. B. 'll Uhr Stranger in Char Mihai c BOUT three centuries ago the lirst band of ' , il 1 foreigners, little dreaming that they Qi iv were the leaders of millions to follow. braved the dangers of the sea and ent- i 123 ered America, the unex Jlored land of 1 promise. Since that time lthe sturdy sons M . of many nations have streamed to our shores, have almost inundated our land. until now we'have with us representa- tives of three races,-the black, the yel- low, and the white. All of these are more or less problematic, but we are here concerned only with the problem of the white man. W'hen we realize that there are more people Of German descent in New York City than in any other city outside of Berling that there are more jews in New York than in jeru- salemg more Irish in Boston than in Dublin: and that Chicago ranks as the second Bohemian, the third Swedish, and the fourth Polish city of the world, do we not rightly feel alarmed con- cerning the future of our nation? XVhat are we to do with these Europeans who have poured and still are pouring in upon us? There is but one answer: Wfe must amalganiate, we must assimilate, we must make them one people. Wle cannot shut them out: our nation needs the alien, for the old colonial stock is rapidly dying out. During the last century the decrease in birthrate cost us seven million children. In 1900 the native-born of native parentage comprised only thirtylthree per cent of the population of our thirty principal cities, Send home all the foreigners and native born of for- eigners now here. and twenty-tlonr states would lose one-half their population. Chicago would be reduced to one-Fifth its present size, Milwaukee to one-sixth, and the three and one-half millions of New York would shrinkrto a paltry eight hundred la. -TLY, . !, , ,Ju,..,gA,., L Q , . ,. , . .

If our nation is to continue to grow, we must not disdain him. Mere numbers, however, will not perpetuate a race, nor make it truly great, There has never yet been a nation composd of peoples'differing in language, customs, and manner of living. which has long held its place as a leading power. Romels down- fall dates from the time when her standard was raised over wide- ly scattered and diversified tribes. England began her unprece- dented career only when there arose an Alfred capable of blend- ing jutes, Angles, and Saxons into one people. If we allow the segregation of our incoming foreigners to go on, if we permit our land to be peopled by groups of Germans, Swedes, Greeks, and Italians,-as a nation, we must go down. VVe must learn from Rome that the flying of a single flag does not insure per- manence: that it is to be found only in the hearts of a united people. All Chinatowns, Syrian quarters, and Little Italys must cease to exist. Our aliens and natives alike must be cast into the same magnificent mould of American manhood. Then, and not until then, will our country be secure. As a people, we shall profit by the infusion of other bloods. Our average immigrant excels physically, for he is the outcome of both natural and artificial selection. Only the strongest and most fearless leave their homes: and of these the government officials exclude all not physically sound. Our average immigrant excels mentally. Although factory and construction work and mining are commonly thought to be his only province, yet, time and again. he has proved himself equal to other and greater things. XfVllI1lCSS his work in the skilled handicrafts, in music, in painting. in dramatic art. ltalian orchestras are heard in all our large cities: Armenian iewelry stores dot our land: Russian actors hold audiences spellboundg and Polish artists and com- posers, creators of beauty, delight us with the products of their arts wherever the eve is trained or the ear attuned. The alien. moreover, is easilv converted into a useful citizen. Brander Matthews savs that a list of the Eve foremost men of New York Citv would include one German. one Hebrew, and one Dane. ,Tacob Riis, whom Roosevelt afhrms to be the most useful citizen in that great metropolis and of himself Roosevelt declares that he has not a drop of English blood in his veins. It is to the foreigner also that we owe our superior social spirit. ,, , Y , . rims: ,Y ., - - -7 NVe are less insular than our kin across the seag we consider our standards and ideals more cosmopolitan and liberal than theirs. And why? Because, while the English have been inbreeding from the time of Elizabeth, we have been absorbing vigorous for- eign blood. Professor Giddings holds out the hope that the com- mingling of races will soften our emotions, will quicken our poetic and artistic nature. and will make us gentler in our thoughts and feelingsf, And we have the testimony of one of our foreignborn citizens that the American people of the future generation, with the purity of life and religious ideals of the Pilgrims, with the tenacity of the Germans. with the commercial ability of the Alews, and with the artistic sense of the Italians, will be readv to realize in the world the human and divine ideals for which God has prepared itfl You ask, can widely diverse types ever be fused into one har- monious whole? There are existing conditions which tend to promote such fusion. Wfhen the immigrant breaks off all the ties which bind him to his old lifeg when he settles in a land where free-thinking and self-government are his only masters, then the silent process of Americanizing him at once begins. The foreigner is not allowed to assert himself at home. He comes here to find freedom, and in availing himself of it he becomes an American. ffThe most impressive thing about the throngs on the streets of New York, says Maxim Gorky, is that they stand erect. they do not cringef' Yet these throngs consist chietiy of immigrants or the sons and daughters of immigrants. Uur aliens. morever. possess remarkable powers of adaptation. They easily take on our ideals and learn to revere our heroes. They prefer to speak our language: thev read American books and see American plavsq they love to salute our flag,-in short, they feel swift pride in becoming Americans. These things, one and all, are favorable to race union, and prove that it is no mys- tic's dream, but a final outcome which looms large in the realm of things possible in this the land of freedom. Wfhat are the agents of this race fusion? First, there are the govermnent and the railroads. Their means for promoting amal- gamation are the sparselv settled regions of our country, the vast stretches of land vet vntilled. They need the foreigner: the for- eigner needs them. But where are our aliens? Four-fifths of them are segre0'ated in our twelve principal cities. where it is almost impossible for American iniiuence and civilization to penetrate their dense cel:-nies. And why are they there? lVhy - -..?L-Bai, Y..:...i..- .Q Y- ,,Y----- ir v- Yggrg?-Y in-it., do most of our immigrants, farmers in their home lands, change their occupations as soon as they reach these shores? Hundreds and thousands of our Italians, second only to the Chinese as farm laborers, become mere street-diggers, when they should become tillers of the soil. And why? Because, as strangers, they nat- urally herd together in the large cities, because they know nothing' about our farm lands, because they lack capital to engage in the new enterprise. Herein our government and our railroad coin- panies can aid us. By decreasing transportation rates, by selling land cheap, by establishing bureaus of information, even bn' loaning money, if necessary, they can entice the immigrant into those sections of the country v here he can most easily be trans- formed into the likeness of an American citizen. Our second agent for promoting race fusion is the labor union. The foreigner, coming to America, has to learn what democracy ireans. This the labor union teaches him. lt frees him from subservienceg it gives him a vote and a chance to state his grievances: it instills into him the ideals of efficient citi7en- ship. Moreover. it throws foreigners into united groups. and it brings newly arrived immigrants into contact with others partlv assimilated. VVhat labor unions do for the alien himself. public schools do for his children. lt is there. in these public schools. that the language of the adopted country is learned: it is there that the immigrant's children become imbued with the first principles of patriotism and democracvg it is there that thev catch their first real vision of American ideas and ideals, Impor- tant among the schools are the so-called character factories. established to Americanize foreign young men and women. In them English is made a specialty, and the pupils never leave a classroom without having unconsciously received a lesson in patriotism. VVhat will happen when groups of these students Q0 back to colonies of their own people? VVill thev not infuse into their countrvmen what has been infused into them? VVe answer that thev will become a great unifying force-a chain to bind, a spirit to brood above them, to work in them, until thev shall be. one and all, transformed into the likeness of that most noble type of manhood-and American citizen. But all these forces will work in vain unless the citizens of the United States are willing to aid. VVe, as a people, sneak disparaginglv of the immigrant: we forget that he is seldom given a chance to shouqwhat he is made of and what he can do. As soon as he leaves the steamship pier he is jostled out of the ff ll l I l l i E E l t I I i l I I l ill 4 l If .l 'l li 'nf 3 tp. . -A-sh l 1-U way, he is left alone and lriendless in a strange country.

Q 14:5 3 n,:.-ici ' T ' ' 1 Hrnpvrz No educational question is more vital or insistent today than that of religious culture. However, just because religion is the most vital human question, differences of opinion in regard to beliefs, pro- cesses and methods are likely to become intense. Especially in a nation which supports free public schools and allows entire freedom of worship, creeds necessarily direct certain practices, particularly as affects intellectual aspects of religious education. This fact na- turally excludes certain church rituals from school use: but it is far different in respect to the emotional element of the religious life. Here there is a common factor for all creeds. The fatherhood of God, the brotherhood of man and the childlike faith and human sympathy evolved by the contemplation of these themes, are common elements of all creeds. Therefore exercises adapted to the cultivation of moods of mind growing out of these themes are specially suitable for school use. To meet such a need in the Normal College the vesper service has been instituted. To come together after the stir- ring activities of the day, to listen to a Bible reading and a word of prayer, to sing together the glorious old hymns of faith and love, to hear grand and majestic music greatly rendered on organ or by the human voice.-all this lifts human nature to a higher level and makes possible communion with God which can rarely be reached by the individual. Such an uplift as comes to us through the vesper hour will linger long afterward as sacred memories which have gathered about us here in Normal Hall during this beautiful vesper service. L. H.

Looking down we saw a middle- aged lwgiiiiaiil prancing and dancing ' ' A' Q... arounc ie ais e. Our interest in her was immediately aroused. ln appearance she was a typical old maid, spare and lean. She wore a brown and V hite checkered skirt. The checks were very large at the bottom and gradually grew smaller near the waist. She wore a green belt, black Sateen waist and pale blue neck ruche. Her hair, which was iron gray, was twisted up into a little hard knob on top of her head. From her features, one knew at once that she was a German Iewess. U Xkle wondered at the cause of the outcry. Suddenly she gathered her skirts up at both sides-as a woman does when a mouse appears-and perched herself on the very top of one of the seat backs. She continued shrieking and pointing to the Hoot. We soon saw that a pipe had burst and the water was trickling down the tloor. The porter immediately came in to repair damagesg but the woman remained on her high seat scolding the porter.

A broader interest in people and events was the result of both lectures and recep- tions. The first lecture of last year was an interesting and instructive talk upon The New Era in Turkey. This talk was delivered in Normal Hall by Miss Gnenn Griffiths, a former teacher in the XX'oman's College in Constantinople during the late revolution. Out of her experience she w as able to give her most delightful address. The next speaker w as Mrs. Kate Cpson Clark, a writer and literary critic from Brooklyn. She offered excellent advice upon the subject To Write or Not to XX'rite:. The next speaker was Mrs. Ciudrun Thorne Thompson. a charming story teller of the School of Education in Chicago, who led her audience into the land of folk and fairy lore. and also gave a very vivid exposition of The 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 was Reverend Bartlett Crane, of Kalamazco. Klrs. Crane held the sympathetic interest of her listeners for an hour. as she vividly portrayed the suffering of the people in the almshouses. She could well portray the sufferings for she has been an extensive investigator into the conditions of almshouses. She called the inmates of the almshouses Our Forgotten People which title 'she chose for the subject of her talk. The talk was helpful in that it aroused sympathies and probably new helpers among the student body. It suggested also practical methods of aiding those Forgotten People. All of the lec- tures, although widely different in theme, in one way or another served to strengthen the consciousness of the great bond of human brotherhood :md lift one with a new vision to see, and a new heart to thrill. This was what the XYoman's Union did last year. and inspiring words from some speal-'er wise Huang mumrna hriatian Aaanriatiuiu C ls.. . f t Q if . A , T., r ft NX Sass f ' fa?

To no group who has gone out from Starkweather in the years that are gone will these memories and associations mean more than to the girls of 1911. The tie that binds them together must necessarily lie close, since it grows out of mutual sympathy and interest in those things that minister to the deepest needs of ,the human soul. And among the girls who have worked the hardest. the tie is closest, illus- trating again the time-proven principle that what one gains from an experience is in direct proportion to what he puts into it. At the beginning of the year, we reckoned among our members one Student Volunteer. Today, four others stand with her, pledged, if it be God's will, to a life of service on the foreign mission Held. A Stu- dent Volunteer Band has been formed having a double purpose: to develop the spiritual lives of its own members in preparation for the most effective work in the foreign field: and to arouse an active mission- arv interest amcng the student body. The Michigan State Normal College follows with interest and pride the careers of those of its alumni v ho choose this arduous yet glorious field of serviceg interest, because missions in the twentieth century can not fail to be interesting, and pride in the fact that our College is taking its part so noblv along bv the side of other great schools of our land to bring about the much needed evangelization of the world. No mention of Bible Study can be made without expressing the sincerest gratitude of the Student's Christian Association to Dr. C, O. l-Toyt. through whose keen interest and untiring effort much of the suc- cess which has attended the work in Bible Study is due. Nearly three hundred tittv students have been enrolled during the year in the vari- ous classes. and the interest has been evcellentlv maintained. XVe look forward hopetullv to the time when a course in Bible Study will be regularly incorporated in the curriculum and due credit be given therefor. Nay the work centering in Starlsweather continue to widen vear bv year, and its influence be felt in the lives of an ever-increasing circle of girls. who will leave its portals developed in bodv, mind, and spirit.- this is our prayer.

The discussions of current topics is a new held in which we have begun working this year. and the results are indeed encour- aging. To meet the demands ot the present day, a person must be developed not only intellectually, but socially as well: hence, this year we have instituted our Saturday evening' meetings.

And this has been realized not merely through the regular Saturday debates but through social affairs as well. On 'l'hanlcsgiving the Lincolns celebrated their quarantine in the city by a most pleasing banquet. one which was not only highly enjoyed at the time, but one which lent harmony and good-will to the year's work. On February 12, occurred the Sth annual Lincoln Club ban- quet. All of the present year's members and several of the alumni partoolc of the many good things both material and mental. And the importance is llOl temporary but lasting. ln the future no occasion of the whole college course will be recalled by the club members with 111ore vividness or delight than this one. ln the customary debating work, conscienciousness and willingness have been the root of every man's speech During the fall quarter each new man was aslfed to prepare a speech on Abraham Lincoln. This feature proved to be a very de- sirable part of the club's work. ln actual debating 16 rousing debates have been participated i11. Each one has been of a high standard, having been well constructed and well pre- sented. I 1 And this enthusiasm and determination has realized itself in a splendid victory. The dynasty of Lincoln triumphs stands intact and the debating cup for which so many contests have been waged, has now become the permanent property of the Lincoln Club.

' 'M -K--- --' HHE past year has beeii a prosperous one for the X-Vebster Club. Gui' members have been earnest and enthusiastic, and although the majority of them carry a large amount of regular college work, they have found time to attend the meetings andtake active part in the programs. ' The character of the work has been satisfactory. The programs have uniformly been good, many of unusual interest. The work has been of such a nature as will be found, we believe, to be benee hcial in our life work, for 'debating' is one of the best means of cultivatingian ability to speak without prep- aration. ' In the public debates our representatives have done themselves great credit, and have reflected honor upon their club. As a proof of this the Vtfebster Club tur- nished two men, Smith and llfigle, who helped earn a victory for the Normal in the Grand Rapids debate. Most of the members will be back next fall, so the pros- pects are bright for another year. Much credit is due our critic, Mr. Elliott, who has been untiring in his efforts to bring the club to a high standard of efficiency. 41 im' lim' ' -i-ind in 7 Ubftirera Fa!!

Wfithin the .QA college, students commingling in friendly, intimate associations have grouped themselves into fraternal units, Thus we have V' ----' ' the large institution, the college. and clustering about it a number of organizations, all similar in composition and purpose, which when considered as a whole receive the institu- tional name, fraternity. Two institutions so closely in- tertwined ancl associated must bear to one another a vital relation. And because of the flexibility of each. determined by the human element, it is possible for us to philosophize upon the ideal relation between the two institutions. Though the ideal is inconceivable to the human mind. some goal is imperative toward which we may direct our efforts. Wfhat is the ideal relation between the college and the fraternity toward common action and progress? As stated above, the college is an institution devoted to education. Then it follows that every organization whose existence depends upon the existence of the col- lege should embody some phase of education. The fra- ternity is obviously for the purpose of furthering and at ,, 1-11 I-ni L, ,i i , ' ,W ,. , , 71.7 , gdlf' V, , YNY, a, 1, l K + E i T: i F ll if l l l ! is - ii l R l l 'rr' 7' --A---f-..-.'a4.n-.L----W -' --A- W f ,pi 7 r- ' r- developing the student in good social usage. lt should inspire the fraternity man with a higher conception of mutual aid, an intelligent interest in the group, and furs nish him with some lasting friendships. All this may reasonably be demanded of the fraternity. Then if such is its sphere of activity, the ideal relation between it and the college would be the relation of the organ to the whole organism. In other words, its position would be supplementary. In problems of general concern, it would suppress personal considerations, where some in- dividual act would be detrimental to the group, such act would be omitted. ln general, it would directly and immediately respond to the welfare of the whole college. Do the fraternities of the Normal College achieve the greatest amount of good that lies within their power? Without unnecessary quibble, it can be frankly said that they do not. Though they go a long way, probably as far as the fraternity in general does, still much remains to be done, that the true and proper relation between the school and the fraternity may be realized. 'There must be a stronger spirit within the fraternity It must act within its sphere with greater zest and surety, but beyond its sphere, the fraternity must cease to be potent and a school spirit, greater than has ever been known, must be the dominant and overshadowing theme, Such urgent reforms remain for the new men in the various organizations to bring about. Let all alumni give their hearty support and cooperation. Ross SMITIAI. - ii l 4 W 1 11, ,Wan Y Elghi Brita Hi Established. 1892 COLORS-Pink and White FLOWER--Pink Carnation Elgairnn Dr. C. O.

There- fore in order to be loyal to' our coun- ty, as well as our college, the ambf- tious jacksonites decided to organize. The club has been ordinarily success- ful, having succeeded in its mission of uniting its members more closely, and in supplying many little pleasure Wests that serve to make college life more enjoy- able and pleasantly memorable.

This Club has grown in membership until it has now become a per- manent organization and is a prominent fac- tor in the social life of the College. Meetings are held regularly, in so far as school duties will permit. During the year, several joint meetings were held with the University Club, I., among which, the annual Ann Arbor banquet deserves special men- tion. The event was marlsed by addresses from several prominent speakers and educators of the state, and will be remembered by all who were present as one of unusual value and interest, intellectually as well as socially. The aim of the club is to perpetuate the friendships and associa- tions formed at the Ferris Institute, to assist in maintaining high ideals for its members and to encourage a high standard of scholar- ship and ethics. If the Club has been instrumental, to any degree, in attaining these results, it has accomplished the purpose for which it exists. The members feel that it has, and are conhdent that as tl'e organization continues to grow in numbers and influence, it will re- flect increasing credit and honor upon the institution for 'which it is named, and upon the State Normal College.

A membership of thir- x 1 'T u' 1 , gy -QFN ty odd was obtained almost immediately, and 1 the club began a pleasant and successful year. 'ogl a f, Pink and gray formed the color combination chosen as representative, and the pink carna- tion was selected as the club flower. The regular fortnightly meetings of the club throughout the year have invariably been pleasant occasions, but the social pleasures of the club reached their climax in the club banquet, held February 17th in Starkweather Hall. Thoroughly enjoyable the evening proved from the hrst glimpse of the long table with its decoration of pink carnations and smilax, to the last song, Good-night, Ladies. Prof. H. C, Lott and his wife, former resi- dents of Ingham county, were the guests of honor, and Prof. Lott's response to the toast, W'liat do we owe to the M. S. C? fur- nished both laughter and food for thought. Mr. Howard Rank, Miss Helen Xllard and Miss Jessie Nourse also responded to toasts most ably and entertainingly, while Toastmaster Coopers witty intro- ductions served as an admirable background for all. As the Senior members leave the club and its pleasant associations it with the hope that the organization has before it many years that will prove pleasant and successful in the highest degree.

Only nineteen answered the call for candidates, and a general lack of enthu- siasm for the new game was manifest. Before the hrst week ended, enough men were out to make two teams, and this bunch stuck faithfully through the season. A great deal of credit is due them, especially the scrubs, coached by Eddie Steimle, for sticking throuffh the season under the discouraging conditions. A poor beginning often makes a good ending,-and just as often does not. The first game was played with Adrian two weeks after school opened. No man on the team had had more than nine days condi- tioning, and nearly half the squad, less than that. As a result, many of the fellows were more or less injured, one man, who until hurting his knee had been opening up great holes in the Adrian line, being laid up for the season. Not a game was played without one or more men receiving injuries severe enough to withhold them from several weeks playing. In no two successive games was Coach Hicks able to use the same men. Injuries necessitated continual shifting, preventing any pos- sible chance for team work. By the end of the season, twenty-four men had been used, not from choice, but from necessity. Injuries, green material, an adverse break in luck in several games, a tendency to let the other fellow do the work on the part of a few, lack of enthusiasm on the part of the student body,-in fact. all known con- ditions, any one of which ordinarily is sulilicient to defeat a team, com- bined to make the seasons record the poorest in years. A longing for revenge dominates each of the eleven old men who will return next fall, and with this squad, lighting their hardest. as at nucleus. there should be built up a team whose record for the season of 12111 should in a measure cure the wounds sustained in 1910. e- 6 . f PUD XX'ii.soN.

The outlook at present is just fair. Some promising conditions exist in that we still have Captain Jennings in the outfield and Don Bell in the box. Both are veterans in their respective positions. Beside Bell, Normal has another good pitcher in Simpson, but by reason of his last year's work, Bell has the call for the regular work, and he gives indi- cation of all his former speed and curves. Simpson however bids fair to press him hard, for the Gwosso boy plays the game thoroughly, and has already done effective work in the box. i7-geiixssgafffsf ff ia,,ff 515-X l is - -. r it l lf 'f' it. Shafer, a Ferris Institute man, who entered the Normal this spring, seems to have cinched the backstopls job, nosing out Page, who however is a 'valuable man. Simpson can play first as well as toss and if he should be reserved for the box, Shafer and Lockwood will care for the initial sack. Simons and Withee are both hard after the keystone position, and the coaches are having trouble in picking their man, for the work of both is good. Hunt is covering short and is a clean, sure fielder but is none too good with the stick. No one is seeking to oust Wfolfe from third for he is covering that corner very creditably. In the outfield Alford and Myron have been chosen by Coach Steimle to look after the left and right gardens respectively. The one crying need at present is for better stick work, a point in which Normal has always been more or less weak. Bell, of course. even when pitching, can be depended upon for stick work. Shafer is showing to advantage in this department, while Nlyron has been swinging well. - But the others. with the pos- sible exception of XYolfe, have still to prove their worth.

Topics of interest will be handied by us when- ever they cease to affect the public pulse. VVe shall reserve the privilege of using Deformed Spelling thruout. The editorial staf is picked out with great care, and the price is one dollar a yearg in Canada one dollar and 'steen cents. The above mentioned staf is made up of a brilliant group of one person. The Editor has the use of our new role top desk, made for us by the Rub Some More Soap box factory. He writes most of these editorials and sets the type. He has employed him- self as proof-reader, and expects to become a proficient printer's devil by a correspondence coursey Further addi- tions to our force will be made as our circulation increases. This paper will not enter into politics unless paid for it, rates furnished on demand. We will not knock any can- didate who can pay more than his rival. We will speak of Prothibbition and Woman Sufferage in our next issue, We are planning on several depart- ments. Watch for them. We are con- nected with all sport centers by private wire and will issue one regular sport- ing extra every year. Watcli for the wonderful free sub- scription contest later on.

Keep your eye on the Scandal clcpartment. D HUMOR. There are several kinds of jokes. Some jokes are not jokes. Any joke which causes a man to lose an eye or his life is called a practical joke. This is because it finishes his practical use- fulness. Being an editor is a practical joke. There is nothing new under the sun in the joke line. An old joke is called a chestnut This is because we like to bite when its cracked l suppose a joke which produces a horse laugh is a horse chestnut. 'The first joke was found in Egypt about the time the Pyramids were small enough to be used as playthings in the royal IlLll'S61'y. lt was a dry season so this was the lirst so-called dry', joke. Lenawee County is the next greatest dry joke. There are today fourteen new jokes. Dr. Cook is the first one and the free AuroraJ' contest is the other thirteen. Some people cry over a good joke, especially if its on them. We regret to mention that many old and once respectable jokes .are misused today in a shameful manner. Only last week an old gray-haired, once famous joke was deliberately, and co1d-blood- ily murdered by one of our college fac- ulty. No great writer has neglected to say something about humor. It was Wil- liam Shakespeare, who once wrote Laugh and the world thinks it's your own joke. The editor would like to say, how- ever, to his readers-that- The one who thinks these jokes are poor, Should straightway change his views, Could he compare the ones we print, With those we did not use.

We notice that several noted professors like Thomas A. Edyson, john'D. Rockyteller, and several others, have discovered' a new mycrob, this is the germ which has long eluded 'the search of the prudent and the wise. The disease caused by this terrible little animal structure is known to science as Fussing. It is very catching and prevales in coledge towns. Under the powerful magnifying glass of research this terrible mycrob looks like a minute, minature, male hu- man being in summer costume, it has protuberenses on its back much similar to wings. lt does not bite like the gold fever mosquito, but throws arrowlike spines like a porcupine.

When you receive an invitation to dine, do not neglect to call up your hostess and ask her to submit the bill of fare. If it suits you forget to accept the invitation, and make it a point to arrive Fifteen or twenty minutes late. Seat yourself at the table, help yourself to the olives, and explain how your col- lar button hid under the dresser, and so you couldn't arrive on time. If you happen to get a hair pin, your spoon, or a soup bone in your mouth, there are several ways of extracting them unnoticed. With a little practice you can drop them in your sleeve while sneezing, and later snap them into your neighbor's lap. A moment later you can create roars of laughter by calling attention to their predicament. Some performers prefer to cough when no one is looking thus letting the disturb- ing element fall in the wreath of How- ers on the side table, or under the side- board across the room. I have done this a number of times with a good deal of pleasure. Never take the last of anything if you don't.care for it, If you lean over to pick up your fork, and get your hair in your lady friencl's soup, you can remove the greater part by a clever side movement against her arm. A clever remark about the red hair of the girl opposite will add much to the effect. Make it a point to leave the table hurridly before the rest rise. remarking that he who eats and runs awav, hopes to come another day. Before the guests recover from their laughter. you can annex the best umbrella in the hall. and be striking a bargain at the pawn shop around the corner. Further points will be taken up in the next number. ' This hue and crv about the agony of putting un a stove Dine strikes us as amusing. We will print below a few hints for the nian who has trouble making a six-inch pipe slide gracefully l Y nf ' into the end of its live and a half-inch neighbor. Arise with the lark, walk 'a dozen blocks or so to quiet the nerves. Break- fast on a light but wholesome plan. VVe would suggest a dish of Saw- dust, with cream. Two recentlv laid eggs and a 'Shredded Baledhayit' with one or two cups of strong 'Chickoryf lThere's a reasonf Then hand vour wife your rain check to the morning ball game and securely lock the front door. Then put on a suit of old clothes, or new ones if you have them on thirty days' trial, put on a pair of old -canvas gloves and pull down the curtains. Spread a paper or two under the opening in the chimney, and run to the telephone, and call up a reliable hardware man who understands the business. This is slightly more expensive than the old manner, but if carried out to the letter, will soon put the modern 'how - in - thunder-did-l-hit-mv-Fmger- with-that-blamecl-hammer' style of pro- fanity out of business, and our matri- monial bliss will be secured. The Ypsi landlord like the mighty Cyclops of antique days is fast ap- proaching the negative sign, in spite of their usefulness as furnace feeders. kitchen boys, and snow shovelers. It has been decided at a recent meeting of the Landladies' Union, that these unimportant. unnecessary, and unsatis- factory appendages be transplanted to some nearby agricultural district and cultivatedf T This is a great move toward the complete emancipation of the curtailed, frightened, awed, and intimidated mem- bers of the Order of Royal Fussers. and if the much talked, and much hoped for expedition of ten-o'clock landladies to the North Pole material- izes, there is a faint hope that the edi- tor of the Knoeker may go. to press each evening. f The generous nature of our prof- fesional landylady had lead to many 1 Ju , A W lui 1 1 ' 3 -lm 1 11:11 I 11 , 1 1' ., .WY ' ii if i ha 1 l reforms.
