Grave was the task we undertook, Of telling in pleasant ways The story of our college days. Three years have come and passed away, And to us seemed as but a day, Many are the pleasures that endeared the time d And made our life a happy rhyme, ln telling this we have done our best, And to your kindness leave the rest. , 2 Aurura l-lail! thou golden-haired Aurora, Daughter of the nymphs of night! l-lail! thou messenger of day-break- Goddess of the morning light! How the sky, suftused with rose-tint, Now reflects thy blushing face! Now the sea, thrilled by thy splendor, Gladly answers thy embrace. And, like pink-hued, feath'ry swansclown Thy soft, cloud-formed wings appear, While thy flowing, golden tresses Gleam, as Phoebus' steeds draw near. Now thy royal purple garments Swiftly vanish from our view, As the sun-god's radiant chariot Visits earthly realms anew. Like Aurora, by invasion, Youth would life's deep night displace With its search for Truth eternal E.arth's black errors would efface. For like Phoebus, fiery stallions Vtfhom the sun-god scarce restrains, Youth's impassioned vigor, breathless, Chafes beneath all fett'ring reins. As Aurora's pure, soft beauty With its touch makes all things fair, So would Youth, in joyful service, Touch with hope life's dark despair. T.L I7 3 LMA!

Colleges llke Heidelberg with half a century or more behind them must necessarrly have 1 a constltuency widely scattered, Wherever a loyal graduate may be, moreover, there is a portion of the real Heidelberg. And these sons and daughters may make a very potent force in furthering the work here at home. Heidelberg's graduates have shown a hearty desire to be true to Alma Mater all through the years. Very soon after the institution was thoroughly established the Alumni Association was organized. Many of those founders still survive and evince the same steadfast loyalty as in the earlier years. But a great host of others have come on during the years until now nearly 650 living graduates of Heidelberg are out doing nobly in the world. For the most part, in their own way, these graduates have been helpers during the years. Today, however, we believe that the spirit of cordial devotion is stronger than ever in l'leidelberg's recent history and the attitude taken by the loyal friends is bound to be an important factor in the achievements of the future. During the past two years, the furtherance of the equipment of the University Library has been the chief object of the Alumni. One thousand dollars have been con- tributed or secured by them in the satisfaction of conditional pledges for a like sum made by Philip Williard of Trappe, Pennsylvania, and Oliver Keller of Sulphur Springs, Ohio. Thus two thousand dollars' worth of books have been placed on the shelves- books that are serviceable and usable. What a fine thing this has been! And no one felt the burden, for the gifts were generally small. Many littles count. And what has been begun should certainly con- tinue for some years until this library becomes a real pride as well as a real force in the life of the school. Everyone that takes any part in furnishing such equipment is estab- lishing something that will speak in the far distant years. It is a permanent investment of money and of influence. 21 Alumni 15119111 fur 12115 REV. HENRY GEKELER, D.D., '86 Indianapolis, Ind. Few days have passed, it seems, Since we, too, went about These cloistered halls And had, 'mid work and play, Our golden dreams. Then came a day When Alma Mater sent us out From sheltering roof and shielding walls To make our dreams come true, Our fate from stubborn facts to hew. Certain that we, Her brood, should eaglets be, She thrust us from the parent nest To try in freedom's air, With heav'n-born zest, Our spreading wings And soar in safety there. fwhatever we've become or might have been, Her hopes proved her an eagle queenj Too wise to keep in leading strings Those that she taught to walk, or run, or fly, Our Mother said: Go forth, for all is yours In lowly earth and vaulting skyg On! then, nor fear discomfitures! When care-free, hopeful, we had come Across the threshold of our youth And, clowered with a modicum Of ill-digested law and truth, We stood alone in manhood's dawn, All steaclying, guardian hands withdrawn, Then found we that the world was large And full of mystery: Through shrunken since and less remote its marge It still with questionings grows rifer. Easy lessons of history. We conned in school from books, Now strive we to decipher The dubious hieroglyphs - Of last nights News , We search its almost hidden nooks For life's achievements, dive for pearls of time: 22 Perhapses, rumors, ifs, Or blundering, vice and crime,- These in the press to headlines rise like scum! Thus shouted forth they tend our judgment to confuse As noise the sense of hearing may benumb. To read life's meaning will be difficult While time's revolving And we are still envolvingg We cannot measure now the final net result. Nor may we wait the end When in the full perspective of the past Life is seen whole at last And we its every lesson comprehend. Life meantime must be lived, Its tasks are here, must now be done, Its battles day by day are lost or won: By idle waiting life were negatived. I-low dare We then despair, And palsy effort, suffocate resolve? Who shall from choice and action us absolve? Since walk we must And can not always see our way, We'll walk by faith, we'll trust Till shines a brighter day. Thanks meanwhile are we For mystic intimations of a goal Toward which the globe is whirledg For passing glimpses of a sane and ordered world On which its Master rides in majesty And holds it in controlg For broken snatches of celestial song That growing strong Shall drown all grief and wrong. Refusing to believe that weire dead leaves of chance, Whirling about In eddyings of doubt. Where motion may perhaps be seen, but no advance, We list'n through storm and tempest shock, Though the earth quake And its foundations rock, Our ear attuned to Wisdom's still small voiceg And we shall hear it and rejoice! Though for a time the heart should ache. Though problem-ridden reels the brain, Faith shall be stronger for the strain: 23 Resolving cliscords are the ladder rungs Vvhereon we rise to higher harmonies. Some day shall die the din of lying tongues, The clouds shall break, shine out the sun Burst full and clear Upon our ear I-!eav'n's harping symphonies! Till then we strive, nor struggle shung With fate, or foe we confident can cope, Drawing fresh courage from deep wells of hope. Young men shall not lack vision 3. Let youth be bold And brave derision, Nor high hopes lower To the dead average thatls gone before! And since our God is kind to young and old, I-las ever for them both some better thing in store Let old men, too, dream dreams of good, Nor doubt their dreams' exceeding likelihood! or 5?

Ili I: i . I 4 ' if , ' ' . view of our four years' work, we see here a place for improvements, there an Sag' - ' ' V-J occasion for regret. But we would not look entirely on the dark side, but would think of the pleasant occasions we have enjoyed and the lasting friendships we have formed which transcend the memory of trials and labor. Space does not permit a detailed history of our class, so only a few of the more striking events will be related. When we look back over these years that we have been permitted to enjoy, we see many changes. Some classmates have left us and others have joined our camp. As we think of our Freshman year, we think of it as a year of readjustment, a year in which we became acquainted with Heidelberg. In the Sophomore year we advanced a step further, endeavoring to make H. U. a little better. Vvhen we returned for our third year we came bringing back high hopes for an Aurora that would be a credit to our class. In athletics we did our share by winning championships in dif- ferent sports. This last year has been one filled with much hard work, the result of which we hope to gain in years to come. Now as we are about to leave the institution we have learned to love so much, our hope is that in our endeavors we have left something that will be of benefit to others. Perhaps we could have done more, but we shall leave with least contributed a little to the history of Heidelberg. The wishing to all of those who follow the joys and pleasures short four years spent at old Heidelberg. Motto: Ad astra, per astra Colors: Pearl Wliite and Crimson Earl Vveaver .,........

Agne, has secured a large amount of new material, it will be necessary to sell a number of our older and best-trained animals, at public auction to the highest bidder. Following is the bill: l pair of Doves, called George and Esther, trained to answer to their names and to bill and coo in the most approved fashion. l pair of literary Sharks, Virgil and Lenore. They eat nothing but printed matter, devouring it with a zest rarely shown in the vicinity of Heidel- berg. l pair of Deer, answer to the names of Carl and Florence. This pair has a very cute trick in which Florence leads Carl around by the nose. l pair of thoroughbred Scotch Collies, Mark and Ethel, very useful in any kind of a show. Mark barks and Ethel sings. l pair of well-broken bronchos, called Jim and Emma. Trained to work together. Can hit the high spots or move along in the most leisurely way as occasion demands. l pair of very intelligent parrots, Gig and Philip. Can say almost anything they are told. 2 Prairie Chickens, captured in the wilds of Illinois. Prizes for who- ever get them. Named Tillie and Bernice. l lion trained to many sensational stunts.

The Junior year proves to be no exception. The num- iiimill' ber three has always been a special number, believed by some to be unlucky L- and by others to be peculiarly fortunate. The great synonym of Junior IS Aurora. Besides the continuous interest shown in the publishing of this book, the inter- ests of the class have been varied. Many members of the class hold responsible places in the work of such organiza- tions as the Glee Club, Kililcililc Staff, Y. M. C. A., and Y. W. C. A. Four Juniors played on the Varsity football team, and others hold positions on the various athletic teams. On the regular debating teams five Juniors have won places. Furthermore the Junior class is the only one which has a class song. Early in December a class party could no longer be resisted. Fond old Meadow- brook was naturally the favored spot. One old-fashioned game after another speeded the hours until the nine-thirty car was announced. Now may the class loyalty of each member of the largest Junior class in the history of Heidelberg, and the class unity be only a means of greater united action for the honor of old H. U.

Bertha arrived at- Heidelberg at the beginning of our Sophomore year and soon proved her value'to he class of 'l 7. She is quiet and modest, but never- heless is right there when it comes to action. GEORGE BACHMAN, Germantown, Ohio. Whai a happiness it is, to he so much occupied as I am. Since childhood, George has spent his time in the fields and woods, studying wild things. Now, however, his time is ta-lien up between dis- pensing eats to hungry people at Grill's and dispensing knowledge to Freshmen, not quite so hungry, in the Biology Lab. EUGENE BARNEY BACHER, Tiffin, Ohio. Yonai, Cassius, hath a lean and hungry look. This young man is a dignified, yet conge- nial fellow who has a long body and a long head. Doc is an excellent student and somewhat of a classroom shark. He is also some ulittle drummer boy. LUELLA GRACE BLOSSER, Orrville, Ohio. Deep sighted in inielligences, Ideas, atoms, influences. Lula is our psychological star. She fairly revels in uapperceptionu and other such abstruse and incomprehensible stuff. We are glad that her uassociation of ideas, backed by her mem- ory, were influential, with the aid of her free- will, in bringing her to H. U. in time to join the Junior class. 1 I ALLIE MARIE BowLUs, Fremont, Ohio. lf io her share some female errors fall, Look on her face and you'lI forget it all. Marie, one of -the studious memhers of our class, is a true and faithful friend. She has a hearty contempt for hypocrites and always says just what she thinks. A few of her friends have heard something about a certain doctor-he is just a specialist. BURTON LYON BRONNER, Bettsville, Ohio. Wisely and slow-they stumble that run fast. Burt never says much: scientists never do any- way. However, we expect to hear of some great discovery in a year or two in regard to Newtorfs law of reflex action. At present the rxperiment is being carried out by means of ivory halls. ALBERT LAWRENCE BITTIKOFER, Bucyrus, Ohio. He had inno faulls or maybe three, ye! what remead? A social honest man want 'D1C.n Did anyone speak? No, that was Dear Old Biddyn-Big Chief-ventriloquizing. Chiefs physiogonomy won him a prize in a hahy show at Sulphur Springs. Versatile! W-hy, that man can make fishes talk. He can sing Grand Opera, and even has time, too, for athletics. EDITH ANITA -BURFORD, Tiffin, Ohio. For if she will, she will-depend on'i, If she n2on't, she n1on't, and there's an end on'i. So much to he said with so little room to say it. From her several niel-:names I recall that of Gene, There's a reason. Capable, determined and conscientious is this fair maid. 1 RUTH KELLER CRUM, Tiffin, Ohio. HWhat's in a name? that which we call a rose, By another name would smell as sweet. Meow ! Here comes our Tohhy. This plaintive little wail is not at all characteristic of its owner, but is just another one of her methods of carrying out a practica-l jolce. Her fertile brain is ever teeming with stunts, if carried out, would just he rich. Enthusiastic, athletic, stu- dious-' Crum. AUGUST GERARD BUNGENSTOCK, Ludlow, Kentucky. Hconsirler what you are to society, and don't let yourself be injured by too much work. Obviously very hashful and sedate, Bungy does not have many dates, except once in a while. Being somewhat of a student he often Hirts with his hoolcs. l-le may turn out to be a preacher. SAMUEL EASTERDAY BROWN, Bucyrus, Ohio. Mischief, thou art afoot- This picture helongs in the Rogue's Gallery. That, says Sam, is why l'm here. Amen. Where Sam is there is laughter. His maxim is:- A jolce is a joy foreverf MARY MABEL DAVIDSON, Dayton, Ohio. None linen: thee but to love thee, Nor named thee but to praise. What a specimen of Winsome womanhoodn! Surely it was no ill wind that blew her into the Junior class last fall. Keen, witty, and -intensely interested in all that pertains to our Alma Ma-ter, she has already found a lasting place in the hearts of all of us. VIOLA BELLE DENNIS, I-loytville, Ohio. Besides, she had that final, that highest gift from heaven, a perfect self- forgetfulnessf' Quick to perceive, bound to achieve, slow t0 aggrieve, sure to relieve, etc., ad inhnitum. Thus we might continue to enumerate her many good qualities, but for lack of space we can only add that she has a vocabulary unique. Postscript-ls she ever blue? Yes, true-blue, always. LINCOLN CRESCENE CLARK, Bradner, Ohio. Wait till my ship comes in. Not only is Conny one of the shining lumi- naries of the athletic world, but he is also a singer. His -temper is as mild as Zeus of old, and is accompanied by loolcs of serenity when the thunderbolts are ignited. EDWIN ROLAND BUTCI-IER, Akron, Ohio. In good sooth, my masters, this is no door. Yet it is a little window, that loolfeth upon a great world. In throwing hash, in taclcling the enemy, in stitching books, and in befriending others, this fellow is the servant of us all. I'll be a Sad dog! -Butch said of himself, and You poor fish! to her-but eight bells and a-ll's well. LETTIE ELEANOR KING, Thornville, Ohio Gentle Mortal, sing again: mine ear is much enamored of thy note. Rex, the King of Thornville, spends many an hour for lots of her friends with her songs and merry chatter. She is loyal and devoted to all organizations of which she is at part. THEODORA ELIZABETH LAND, Woodhaven, Long Island. O coward conscience, holv dost thou aflict me! Ted says she is trying to uphold the reputa- tion of the East, but she has not told us in what respect. We wonder whether she has reference to her fondness for eggs, her love for the Kaiser, or whether it is by means of her extreme opti- mism. Ach nein, denn sie ist in unser aller Her- zen fest bestatigt. LESLIE EDWARD CULLUM, Akron, Ohio. Out upon it, I have loved three whole days' together, And am like to love three more, it be fine weather. Pschl Les is our artist. He came from Akron-sufficient proof of his merit. Les paints peculiarly picturesque pictures of Fire- stone Tires when not occupied in college. He thinks girls are cute-but dangerous. LESLIE NINIAN COBLENTZ, Middletown, Maryland. There's a girl in the heart of Maryland, With a heart that belongs to me.', This is the age of big men. We expect great things from Cob because he is large as Gov- ernor Willis. Yes, and he is studying law, too. The trouble is, he doesn't know whether lo be a Bull Moose or a- Democrat. GRETCHEN MILLER, Tiffin, Ohio. Whatever I have tried to do in my life, I have tried to do well. Between Grettie's prep and college days, she crossed the mighty deep, rode in a patented car- riage through the English Lake region, besides snow-balling her father on The Jungfrauf' Ten- nis, Creek, Toodles and 'Gypn are pleasant memories.

Plainness and sincerity are his characteristics. l-le lilies science because, he says, it helps him along. To know Sa-ppy is to uvish der vas more. EDNA ELIZABETH RUFF, Barberton, Ohio. No duty could overtaslf her, No need her will outrun. This member of our class IS noted.for always having things done on time and never being in a hurry. Edna was christened StublJy upon her Hrst appearance on the H. U. campus, and tho apparently, she has outgrown the name, it still clings. ESTHER IRENE SELLEMEYER, Dectaur, Indiana. 1 am not only witty myself, but the cause that wit is in other men. Enter-the Paradox! Wliere was there ever found such a union of intense seriousness and unconqueralale wi-t? No wonder she's our lit- erary genius, and a genius she certainly is. For real, downright courage of her conviction it is hard to find her equal. EMIL JOHN GUINTHER, Bucyrus, Ohio. Hflfecting thoughts eo-equal with the clouds. Doesn't he look sludious? Observe the pro- truding auriculair appendages-close attention to scientific lectures did that. Emil never hurries, but always arrives. Watch out, he's caged an ohm. If Emil doesn't enter journalism, he says he will become an electrician. RUSSELL GEITER FRANTZ, Dakota, Illinois. Half a loaf is better than no lnreaal, and the same remarlf holds good with 'Crumlvsf Rus is interested in economics. He always makes the dollar travel the longest way. Lately, he has himself, been taking the longest path on Sunday nights. Domestic Science appeals to him -having the last stage of the evolution of hreacl well in hand. AUGUSTA SANFORD SKRANSEWFKY, Tiffin, Ohio. Be good sweet maid, anal let who will be clever. If this tall, sedate maid has a nickname, we do not know it. ln fact, I fear we know too lit- tle of her. However, Augusta- sings and charms us all with her sweet voice. ZOETTA MERLE SERFASS, Barberton, Ohio. On one she smiled, and he was lJlesl. Zoe is a sufiragelte thru and thru. She has proven herself loyal to every cause of which she is a part generally and specifically speaking. She has a very active brain which is shown by the fact that she is specializing under Dr. jones and Prof. Kennedy. CHARLES OTIS Locke, Tiffin, Ohio. Give me where I may stand, and I will move the world. C. O. is a chip off the old block-while inter- ested in everything else he is consecrated to lit- erary work. His ambitions in this calling are too high to be put into words just yetg but that -they will be is indicated by his present work. ERNEST DAVID l lEPPERT, Clinton, Ghio. Born for success he seemed With grace to win, with heart to hold, With shining eyes ihai ioolf all eyes. This young man is scientificaly inclined, How- ever, he loves work of a literary character. 'l-lep went into speculation similar to that of the Transvaal miners when a Freshman, and has been in a jolly spirit ever since. l-lis business seemed never to go deeper than the 'Serfassf' l'lAZEL BEATRICE STAFFORD. North Lima, Ohio. Good goods come in small paclfagesf' From this industrious little maid very little has been heard. She slipped into our midst without one lnit of noise. Oh, no, she never makes any trouble for the Dean, altho occasionally the gig- gles do get the better of her. NELLIE RUTH STUMP, Akron, Ohio. Her air, her manners, all who saw admired: Courteous, though cop, and gentle, though retired. Sweet, shy Nellie, who came to us this year from University of Akron, entered immediately into the -hearts of her class mates. She is already a loyal Heidelberger and will prove true, we l-mow, to her Alma Mater. CLARENCE WELLINGTON LUTZ, Tiffin, Ohio. Delving in the deep ethereal blue. Scientiftcally trained, experimentally disposed, and pedagogically inclined, this man Lutzie. He is full of kinetic energy. ls it any wonder that he has decided to illumine the hazy minds of eager youths in regard to the mysteries Of wireless and electrodynamics? FREDERICK ISAAC LUST, Bucyrus, Ohio. .. . ,, Circumstances alter cases. Fred is a product of the Academy, there- fore, he is an industrious student. He is a vet- eran baseball man and besides displays vocal ability in the Glee Club. Although he has edu- cational work in view, he is a great associate of the Millers, especially those of Indiana. ERMA ISOLDE SWIGART, Wadsworth, Ohio. The gentle mfincl by gentle deeds is lfnownef, This is Erma, our modest li-ttle Violet. Her sweet and winsome way has won for her a warm place in the hearts of her classmates and friends. Always studious and industrious, she ranks high in her classes and has ever been one of Seven- teen's most loyal members. DAWN IMOGEN SWINHART, Lake, Ohio To see her is to love her, And love but her forever: For nature made her what she is, And never made anitherll' ' Dawn, her name describes her. She is cheerful, smiling, quiet as the dawn. Everybody loves this sunny little person Cand several in par- ticularj. She also has an air of independence which' shows she possesses a mind of her own. JACOB EUGENE YOUNGEN, Stone Creek, Ohio. Along came Ruth. 'Jakef' the bashful boy, came to us from the hills in the ea-stern part of the state. l-le devotes much of his time to the Glee Club and-well. anyway, he has moved to Clinton Avenue. .RAYMOND H. WHITE, Braclner, Ohio. What he thot he might require He went and took. Ray believes in Heidelberg and Tiflin. But he does not believe that co-education should ex- ist at Heidelberg, because of Tiffin. However, in both he is a scientist. MARY EDITH W. WACK, Landsdale, Pennsylvania. The reason firm, the temperate will, Endurance, foresight, strength, and skill. This sedate maiden came all the way from Pennsylvania to get acquainted with Western civilization. No sconer was she shocked at us, than we were shocked at her, for lo and behold, she spoke dot Pennsyyfawny Deitschln Du Lust, when she takes a funny streak, the gods cannot restrain her, but when she is nervous, SOC- rates alone dares to be her rival. ESTHER CATHERINE WEILER, Fort Wayne, lndiana. The sun of earthly bliss, So well to know her own. This is Dimples. She has always done good work, but she never lacks time for three- hour walks. Her smiles are lavished upon all and she used to think that she was the happiest girl in the world. But last year Esther ascended the scale and found her Bliss. CARL EMANUEI. ZARTMAN, Tiffin, Ohio. - if Y ' J Thou art e en as just a man as e er my conversation coped withal. Peanuts is a popular man and a very like- able fellow. Occasionally he develops into a most conscientious student, but if any stunt is pulled about the University, you may be sure that Zarty had a ha-nd in it. HARRISON CARI. ZELLNER, Bloomville, Ohio.

For aye we will keep thy love before us Sing, gaily sing, for seventeen. Great is our prowess in athletics, High is our place in learning's hall. Loyal to every true endeavor, Are seventeeners one and all. CHORUS. Thrice hail the class of merry students, Whom many interests firmly bind.

'Twas the night ere that awful psych test, And, seated with book in hand, I was straining with ev'ry brain-cell That hard psych book to understand. 2. At Hfreewilln I had worked by the hour, But it still was a blank to me, All at once I was strangely transplanted, To the room where the quiz was to be. 3. For it seemed that the fatal hour I-lad at length Ctho too soon, come to pass, And I sat there, quite pale and trembling, A sadly unfortunate lass. 4. But just hear! From the subconscious regions, From the depths of my hidden self, There appeared soon the strangest creature, 'Twas a tiny and spry little elf. 5. As his form grew distinct there before me, Of a sudden I knew him to be Faithful lVlem'ry with face still averted To call back my poor thots for me. 6. Then there flitted before me a fairy, Veiled Suggestion, illusive and fleet, At her side tripped gay 'lVlagination, Dreamy-eyed, yet so airy and sweet. 7. Lo! now Fear, with a gasp and a shudder Paused a moment, then fled from the scene, Then there came, with swift steps, Apperception, Vvhose whole past in his face could be seen. 8. The Emotions, those brothers and sisters Who each moment inhabit the mind, Came and wentg 'midst these other strange creatures, To no limited place they're confined. 9. Now a firm and severe looking figure, 'Tis the Will, I instinctively knowg On his back, tho, he bears a queer fellow,- See, 'tis Habit who burdens him so. IO. But alas, as I seek of these creatures For that help which I need for my task, See-they vanish in silence before me, And I wake ere their aid I can ask. 58 Svnngn sinh Ignnhn -Evhimieh in lluninrz Jean, My Jean ..,.........,...,,..,..,....,,.,,,,,,.,,,,,,,,,,.,,,.,,,,,,,,,,.,,,,,,,,,,,,,,.A,,....,, Value of Gestures in Public Speaking ,,,...,,,,,,,, ,.,,,,,,,.

U. on the morning of the fifteenth of September, nine- es f lem I . - . e of friends and classmates, but attention was soon turned toward an extremely well meaning, but somewhat puzzling type of individuals, namely, the Freshmen. On one long to be remembered morning, after much unnecessary nervousness and anxiety on their part, the Freshies sprang their colors. According to prevailing cus- tom, the Sophomores banqueted them on the evening of the same day. The Sophomores have not failed to do their part in athletics, for they had lots of representation in the football team and its glorious victories. In basket ball they showed their achievements by 'causing the loving-cup to vanish, as in a vision, before the dazed eyes of the Seniors! Then, too, the oratorical ability of the class was made known by the ready response which came from some of the boys to the call for debaters. The girls, too, have not been inactive. At the opening of the First semester they organized the Hjoy be club, for the purpose of meeting in a social way as well as in the classroom, So, with each new day and its struggles may some triumph come to every sturdy bearer of the motto, Perge Mode.

U., entered our far-famed hall of learning. We never tg! , Ag ' qw x dreamed of the joys and sorrows, and of all the varying scenes of college life 0' that awaited us beyond the large oaken doors, which admitted us to the mys- terious realm of wisdom. Our minds, too, were innocent of cramming and strategy. However, our highly artistic temperaments were shocked when the upper classmen yelled Freshmen We lost no time in response. It was not until after our first class meeting, joint reception, and election of officers that we were able to adjust ourselves and feel at home. We decided that the Class of 'IS ought to feel satisfied with their colors and so refused them ours. To which they responded by giving us a good time at Meadowbrook. ' ln spite of our modesty, we cannot refrain from mentioning that three of our boys received I-l's and three were substitutes in football, besides trampling over the 'IS class to the tune of 7-0 in a gridiron game.

I borrowed a wheelbarrow of the man who builds the fire and went after my trunk. When I got back the boys laughed and laughed, but I guess they thought it a good idea after all, for they kept me hauling trunks all day. I took one over to the place where the girls stay, but I didn't like that very well. The girls all laughed when I came in, but the lady what looks after them like their ma does at home, she smiled at me and was awfully pleasant. I think she liked me. Bringing trunks was all I done the first day. I was tired that night, but the boys patted me on the back and told me I was alright. I couldn't sleep, so the fellow that slept with me that night got the other fellows to give me what they call a cold shower bath. I didn't like it, but felt better when they got through. Some of the boys come in and fixed up my room the other night. I don't like the way it is fixed at all, things are so mixed up. One of them told me I had better leave it for a while anyway because I might hurt some of their feelings if I changed it. I want to keep on the good side of the boys, but I wish they hadn't did it. The boys have what they call dates here. That means when you take a girl somewhere or just stand and talk with her. They come in other night and told me it was time for me to have a date. Right then was when I sweat harder than when carrying trunks. I begged off, but they called me a poor old boob and when I saw them getting mad I iust had to say yes. They were awfully nice after that and said they'd see the girl and fix things up for me. She was a senior and said she liked me, I was so simple. I didnit know just what she meant, but I felt pretty good. I went out with a junior the other night and she iust thought I was too funny for words she said, and she laughed at the things I said all the time. The fellows said that is what they call wit around here. All the boys seemed to like her for they stopped and talked with her and went away laughing. The boys told me I shouldn't study for the first few weeks or the teachers would get down on me. I did as they said and the other day that man what runs the college, they call him Mr. Prexy, he stopped me and told me it was time I got clown to work. I am doing that. too. I guess he does that with all of them. I don't see how he can remember when all of them should begin. One of the boys asked me up to a spread. I didn't know what that was but I went. It wasn't them things you use on a bed but they had things to eat. I hated to tell them l had enough so I kept on eat- ing. I got awfully sick and the boys doctored me up. They are so ruff that it took me a few days to get over it. They sent me down town after a round square today and I couldn't find one in any store. The man at the post-office said they didn't sell anything but stamps. The boys seemed disappointed not to get it so next time you send in your Larkin order see if they keep them. Thev are going to initiate me into society tonight. I don't know just what it is but I hope it isn't a place like I read about the other day where they hang women on your arms.

There were two hundred and sixty-one enrolled in the normal, commercial, art, academy, collegiate and music departments. How- ever, most of the students were enrolled in the normal course. During the summer session a Chautauqua was held. Among the attractive features of this were Creatore's Band, Senator Kenyon, and the Junior Chautauqua for the boys and girls. A new feature of the summer school was the Young Woman's Christian Associa- tion. The difficulties to be met in maintaining extra curriculum activities during this short and busy time were many, yet those who became members of the association gave their heartiest support, and a good foundation was laid for the future. A reception, similar to that held at the opening of the college year, was given for the new students. The Young Women's Christian Association had charge of this, as well as some of the summer school outings at lRive1-view Park, The co-operaton of these thirty-eight young women, affiliated with the Y. W. C. A. has not only laid the foundation for a better Summer School, but a Greater Heidelberg. 79 ON THE CAMPUS 80 C llzge ff? Commerce H 15 Zh. hw 5 ' mp: N x Ju ,cg .. '-Y .- X-1 ..

I-IE present year is the fourth of Professor lVliller's administration as Principal of the College of Commerce. During this period the enrollment has more than doubled, and many changes have been introduced which have materially strengthened the department and elevated it to a higher plane. Professor lVliller's broad preparation and wide experience amply fit him for the position he occupies. He was graduated from Crawfis College in 1900, and has taken special work in Lima College, the Tri-State College of Angola, Indiana, the National Commercial Institute of Washington, D. C., and has had conferred upon him, the LLB. degree by the American Law University of California. He has served in the capacity of court, newspaper, and political reporter. He has taken verbatim stenographic reports of speeches of many prominent men, including W. Bryan, M. A. Hanna, W. Harding, Myron T. Herrick, and James Whitcomb Riley. He is president of two business organizations, a director in another, and a stockholder in a fourth. He is thus enabled to make the work of his department thoroughly practical. Any one associated with Heidelberg during the past three years is perfectly familiar with the thoroughness of the work performed in the College of Commerce. Scores of its students of the past three years are holding responsible positions with many of the largest firms of the United States. Twelve have recentlytaken the civil service examination, all have passed and all have been appointed to government positions. Nine of Principal Miller's former students are employed in office positions in the Capitol building at Colum- bus today. Quality, and not quantity, is the motto of the College of Commerce. 82 ALFRED M. REICHARD, B. S., M.

HE spirit of an institution is not seen in the work required of its members, but in F that which they do for the institution as volunteers. Grades are never used as M3115 . d H b . . . . . . . an in err to a co ege, ut its activities are. And this is the phase of Heidel- - bergs life we are now taking up. We return at the beginning' of the school year and find about a hundred new students who are not merged into the college spirit. Then comes the appeal for athleticsg a rivalry comes in for places on the teamsg the light comes when college plays collegeg and each student is lined up for his institution. At this moment unity comes about. This is the quality which Athletics gives to the student spirit. There is no resting for this force throughout the year. Then this unified spirit raises the standard of life for each student when it makes possible the support of a college paper and finally a college annualg the former giving information of the activities of the student body in detail, the other representing the spirit of the university in its unified character. Further than these forces for raising the standard of life for the students are the activities which are carried on in the Music and Oratory departments, both of which increase the appreciation of all for that which is high and noble in the thought of man. Of a somewhat less unifying character and ranging on the individualistic side stand the clubs, which have grown rapidly this year. These organizations are exclusive, but their purpose-which is for a greater Heidelberg-has raised the college spirit by making it an individual matter to increase the number of students at Heidelberg as well as to promote the social life of the same. Of a still further individualistic nature are the Literary Societies. Waxing hot at times, as a true part of their individualistic nature, they bring rivalry to have its beneficial effect upon each student, so that it can be said in the paradoxical way, that they are the friendly weight in the opposite scale to produce the equilbriumf' Although these organizations may come and go, Heidelberg will still work ong there is another force outside of these upon which Heidelberg is based, and which com- mands attention more than all the rest of the activities. It is the sober conviction of all observant students that the devotional life at Heidelberg is the true lcey to Heidelberg. If in this book the devotional department is not set forth by space or place as the most prominent and worthy of all departments, let it be compensated here by these words: we are convinced that that department which furiishes us the opportunity to be of service to others and a blessing to our fellow students, is the department best suited to our develop- ment to be men and women of character. 88 Z' S+ f V5 3 X 'If' 3,27 SPIRIT ww .-4'4flq1l it-x' ','.tff A' f C YQ I ' T,-7 In A fix- mi -N xr .. 5' S N7 4 .if-2 Q E up wg?

At that time special interest was given to the history and development of the local association as well as to the national work. Two delegates attended the Bible and Mission Conference of Northern Ohio at Ohio Wesleyan and gained many valuable suggestions for Bible and Mission Study work. The Christmas sale of hand-made pieces, and the candy and sandwich sales proved excellent means of increasing the conference fund. The Association News committee provided clever posters to advertise leading events of the association, besides bringing National Association news to the young women by placing magazines and devotional books in the Library. Another phase of the na-tional work, is performed through the college girl-the rural work. In the interest of improved rural conditions, a few of our young women have been efhcient leaders in estab- lishing the Summer Eight Weeks' Clubs in their own communities. As a means of linking the interests of the city women with the young women of the university the group known as the Advisory Board has been created. During the year The Hand Book of the work of the Y, W. C. A. and The Meaning of Prayer have been studied in the weekly cabinet meetings. The committee work, which devolves upon every member has been efficient. Each committee has striven to fulhll the aim of its policy as Well as to create and to maintain a realization of the great ideal in the Association motto: I came that they might have life and have it abundantly. . 13111. Gt. A. fE4.'7- S the student arrives in Tiffin the first person he meets as he steps off the train is a representa- tive of the Y. M. C. A. to welcome him and to assist him in getting started in his college experience. The New Student Committee secures rooms in advance and takes care of his baggage. This year an Information Bureau was conducted in the Association room where 'M' 'F' members were stationed ready to give any needed information to the new students and to help them get acquainted and to feel at home in their new surroundings. A souvenir booklet containing valu- able suggestions and information concerning the college and its activities was given to each student. Those desiring work were aided in finding it in the city through the Employment Bureau. Through the Social Service Committee opportunity is given to do very practical Christian work in teaching at the Orphans' Home Sunday School. Others get va-luable experience in helping carry on the industrial work with foreigners in the city. Classes in such practical subjects as English, Arithmetic, Talks on health, etc., are conducted by students, the aim being to make better American citizens. ln addition to the regular weekly meetings the Devotional Committee secures Christian leaders and arranges conferences with them for students. Many students have been greatly helped in selecting their life work through these personal conferences. The Y. M. C. A. strives to bring each student into the proper environment and encourages him to take advantage of those college activities which will be helpful to him. The Y. M. C. A, motto, representing the full development of body, mind, and soul, is set as an ideal for each one in attaining a well rounded development of character. An important phase of the work of the Y. M. C. A. is the individual interest which its members take in the welfare of all the students in trying to maintain the best influences about the college. Rather than a separate organization it is a- quiet influence which permeates the life of all the college activities and which leaves an impression that will not soon be forgotten on each graduate who leaves the college. 92 , OLUNTARY discussion groups have proved very benehcia in se.eral phases of the work . of the Association. By means of those Groups the students have been able to grow into Z ' A stronger men and women. Bible and Mission Study classes were carried on in both the Y, W. C. A. and Y. M. C. A. Bible study for Seniors and juniors in Y. M. C. A. was i conducted by Dr. jones with the test 'The Meaning of Prayer. Prof. Beam led the Sophomores in a discussion of the book, 'A Life at lts Best. The Freshman found 'Student Standards of Action to be an excellent aid for the adjustments that must be made when coming to college. Prof. Williams was their teacher. The young women have also carried on their Bible study courses by classes. The Seniors followed The Social Teachings of jesus under the guidance of Prof. Graber. The juniors had the benefit of Prof. Beams' teaching in the study of Discipleship, A Life at lts Best was studied by the Sopho- more girls with Mrs. Graber. The young women of the Freshman class read and discussed 'Student Standards of Action under Miss Catherine Moser's direction. Mission Study classes are conducted in the same manner. Courses on the general theory and character of mission work, as well as on the conditions in various countries and the practical mission work done, are offered for the second semester. In November Mrs. Graber led discussions for each class on The Woman Beautiful. Mrs. P. M. Hendershott in January took the subject ml-he Woman a Citizen. Plans have been made for the discussion of similar subjects later in the year. Eiaruzzinn Cernups D I itlivetings Mfg V, HE. devotional meetings of the Association are held each week. The joint meetings at various K times through the year create a common interest in Association work. Dr. Schneider gave an address in the interest of Yamagala at the beginning of the year. Dr. Clippinger of Otterbein very ably presented a discussion on ' Leadership. The Christmas service consisted in Christ- - A mas hymns and several musical numbers with the theme of the season's meaning running throughout the meeting. The young men have had several experienced leaders address them on vital phases of Christian living. The football meeting, of which the football men took charge was an unique feature, and emphasized the relationship of the physical to the mental and spiritual as expressed in the Association triangle. The young women have gained much from the strong series of subjects running throughout the year, the central themes being Jesus and some dominant idea relating to ourselves, others and God. The weel-:ly prayer service conducted by members of the faculty is one of the most potent factors in united worship that there is in the University. It is an hour devoted to prayer and a discussion of the Christian life, and is a strong means of maintaining the high religious ideals of the institutions. Chapel service is held every morning on recitation days. The old hymns of the church, the scripture reading and prayer are a fitting opening to the days of worlc. The vesper services of Sunday afternoon given by Professor Bach for the benefit of the students and town people, are greatly appreciated by all who attend. 93 amagata Yamagata, our mission station in Japan which Heidelberg undertook to support last year, is a word often heard from the lips of every true student and every member of the faculty. Our work there has been prospering wonderfully and is successful to a large degree. Just as Heidelberg is growing, Yamagata must grow. Yamagata, the capital of Yamagata province, is a fine city, having a population of 45,000. Its people are industrious and thrifty and are employed in the silk mills, in growing rice and in shipping the rich produce of the region. The latest statistics of our Station, as given by Dr. Bartholomew, show: 39 mem- bers, average attendance at Sunday services 3lg Sunday School teachers 53 average attendance of scholars 48, contributions by church members for l9l4, 5594.663 valua- tion of church property 33250. The foreign missionaries in Yamagata are Rev. Carl D. Kriete, Rev. H. H. Cookeg while Mr. Kozu Akiko is our faithful evangelist. These workers use every method to bring a sympathetic message of the Gospel to the people. Rev. Carl D. Kriete wrote recently, stating: I am glad to report that our work in Yamagata is at last beginning to look more hopeful. We have more young people in our services and the Sunday School is getting more and more popular with the better classes of people. Three or four more trained Sunday School teachers would give great impetus to our work. If conditions were brighter in the home church I would like to make a request for a kindergarten building and a trained kindergarten teacher for this work in Yamagata City. I think it would be a means of opening many homes to us that are now closed against us. May Heidelberg prove equal to the opportunities at her door! Our campaign here at Heidelberg this year to raise the money for the support of the Station was successful. The prayer-meeting on the evening of the thirtieth of September was in charge of the missionary committees of each Association. Several students and Dr. Jones talked on missionary subjects, arousing among the student body a vital interest in the spreading of the Gospel. On the following Sunday afternoon at a joint meeting of the two Associations the Rev. Dr. Schneider, a missionary in Japan, told in a very enthusiastic way about our work in Yamagata. On Monday morning in chapel he talked to the whole student body again for a few minutes, after which the pledges for the support of the Station were made. Thus every student and member of the faculty had the oppor- tunity of doing something himself to make our work at Yamagata a vital factor in the great effort to bring many to the Saviour. 94 X ,.f' ORPHANS' I-Iowa Ubin' Cbrphana ' N' the spring of 1913 the Social Service Committee of the two Christian Asso: clations organized a Sunday School at the Jr. O. U. A. M. National Orphans Home which is located in Tiffin. - Each Sunday at 2 230 P. M. three hundred and seventy-five boys and girls, together with forty students from Heidelberg, meet in a service which favorably compares to any live Sunday School. The first fifteen minutes are devoted to the Opening Exer- cises. After this part of the service the children go to various rooms where for one-half hour they discuss the Sunday School lesson. A short union service closes the Sunday School hour. On the Sunday evening of December 19th a Christmas program was given by the children. There were songs, dialogues, recitations, a drill and a talk by Prof. Agne on the Christmas Customs in Turkeyf' Each child in the Home was treated to a box of candy which the students of Heidelberg provided. Every sacrifice made by the teachers was amply repaid by the happiness of the children. The responsibility of this work has fallen upon the corps of teachers, who have at their head Miss Ruth Hutchins and Mr. Earl Dinger. They have been faithful and the work is a success. There are two interesting features at the Home besides the Sunday School. The first is that of the Prayer-Meeting service, which is held every Friday evening by one of the ministers of Tiffin, and the second is that of the Young Peoples' Society which was organized at the beginning of l9l6. This last-named feature is in complete charge of the young people of the Home with two of the students of Heidelberg to oversee the work and give advice and help. Surely the influence of these two services cannot be over- estimated, for these together with the Sunday School are proving to be of great benefit. 95 Snrial Svvruirv in Uliffin If HE. Y. M. C. A. has recently taken the initial steps in organizing effective Social Service.work among the foreigners and in the shops. Five classes have been started in Tiffin among the foreigners for the teaching of English. The interest Z. and enthusiasm manifested among the Italians and Greeks with whom the work has been begun are signs of the genuine spirit that these men are putting into their new citizenship. Classes are also held for factory men wherein they are instructed in various mechani- cal arts. At various times short noon hour sessions are held in the shops and men are given instruction in sanitation, hygiene and first aid to the injured. A prominent local man is sometimes secured to speak to the men. Another phase of the recent work of the Social Service Committee is the inaugura- tion of die Big Brother plan for the helping of some of the younger boys of Tiffin who need, more than anything else, perhaps, the uplifting hand of helpful good fellowship. Many of these boys will be better men because a Big Brotherf' cares. l-leidelberg's women through the Y. W. C. A., under the willing instruction of Mrs. Calhoun, the Secretary of the Corner Commission, have undertaken the work among foreign women, the shut-ins, the aged, the sick, and the poor. This service work although in its infancy at Heidelberg has large possibilities in extension work. Hnineraiig Svurial life The aim of the Social committees of the Christian Associations is to promote socia- bility and good-fellowship among the students. With this end in view a reception was held in the University building the second week of school, at which the new students were welcomed by the old members of the student body, and a general Umix-up arranged whereby everybody got acquainted. To get more intimately acquainted with the new students, the Y. M. C. A. enter- tained the new men at a 'sstagn held in the gymnasium, where all had a rousing good time. The Y. W. C. A. likewise welcomed the new girls at Williard Hall at an after- noon reception. . The Social Committee of the Y. W. C. A. made a special effort this year to carry out its purpose of creating greater sociability among the girls. To do this, an informal affair was planned for every month. In October, the girls went for a hike of several miles. A halt was made along the river, where the time was spent in toasting marshmallows, telling stories and taking pictures. Late in the afternoon they returned home. In November the girls were entertained in Williard I-lall at a Progrssive party. Tables were arranged in the living room and in the halls at which old-fashioned games were played and keenly enjoyed by all. ' . HH. 01. A. Errturr Gluurzr It is the purpose of the Y. M. C. A. Lecture Course at Heidelberg to give the students, the faculty, the citizens of Tiffin and of the vicinity the opportunity of hearing the best talent in all lines of activity. By availing themselves of this opportunity the people will develop such a high standard of entertainment that none but the best will be desired. High talent is always assured for the patrons of the Lecture Course. 96 SUMMER CONFERENCE DEi.EcATEs Summer Qlniitnwnrvz , f UMMER conferences have come to have a prominent place in the plans of the religious organizations of our institution. They afford the opportunity for the student to broaden his life by coming into an environment which furnishes a stim- ulating inlluence to the truly cultural life. Besides this the conference is a school of methods for association work where the student gains helpful suggestions and suits them to his own association needs. ' ,Such did the Y. M. C. A. Conference at Lake Geneva, Wisconsin, and the Y. W. C. A. Conference at Eaglesmere, prove to be. Many addresses were given by men who are religious leaders in the world's great program of religious activity. At Eaglesmere Dr. Johnston Ross of the Union Theological Seminary presented a series of convincing addresses on mlqhe Fundamentals of Christianity. At Geneva, John R. Mott fwho had recently Come from Europej, spoke of The War in Europe. Of the other promi- nent speakers on missions there were Eddy, Robins and Bishop McDowell. The theme of both conferences was expressed in these words: Be sure to get started in the channel of work where God can use you best -and emphasized a deep devotional life. The Mission and Bible study 'classes at the conferences presented an opportunity to mingle in class work and discussion with men and women of marked ability. The quiet morning devotional hour was one of the most helpful periods of the day. Then the Cabi- net Councils, where a birdseye view of the entire scope of the local association work was gained, were indeed beneficial to efficient leadership. Sufficient knowledge of Rural and City work was given for the understanding of the whole field of Association work. Besides the great spiritual value of the conference the experience of meeting with hundreds of college men and women representing various kinds of institutions, and coming from all parts of the country, is one of no minor importance. The day set aside for rec- reation, including all kinds of out-door sports and games, was greatly enjoyed. The tennis tournament and the aquatic contests showed off a few large institutions in these lines of sport. Eaglesmere Park and The Lake of the Eagles are on top of a mountain: and it is a beautiful walk up the mountain side among the wealth of rhododendron and laurel. 97 THE FLYING SQUADRONS Uhr 31. 13. A. Wrpnl WING to the fact that a wet and dry battle was waged in Ohio in the fall ot ll 1915 a new organization was formed at Heidelberg. This organization is a ranc. eague o t e nternationa ro 1 l.t10Il ssociation. r.. etersonl, a i'f4 h1 fhl 'lPh'b A MP h5 traveling secretary for the general International Prohibition Associaton, visited Heidelberg September 29th and 30th, and, on the morning of the 30th, an organization was effected here with thirty-Hve charter members enrolled. The fundamental purpose of this organization was to train men and women for active service in the cause of nation- wide prohibition and to arouse the students in general to a higher sense of their political and social duties. At the first meeting officers for the year were elected. The follow- ing men were- elected to office: President, F. I. Lustg Vice President, L. N. Coblentzg Secretary, E.. Youngeng Treasurer, M. H. Wayg Reporter, G. Raymond Snyder. After the association was thoroughly organized it was thought that the most effective work could be accomplished for a dry Ohio by co-operating with the Seneca County Dry Federation. A number of quartettes were arranged among the members, several men volunteering to deliver speeches at various udry meetings. Flying squadrons were formed, each squadron consisting of a quartette and two speakers. Each night during the week previous to the election some town in the county was made the objective point of one of these Hying squadrons. Among the towns visited were Omar, Flat Rock, White Hall, and South Reed. Although the state did not go dry, the men did not feel that their efforts had been in vain for they received valuable training and can, perhaps, put forth more effective effort at the next wet and dry campaign. 98 Volutiteer Bcuzd.

A. in bringing missionary speakers to Heidelberg, have made them a force in directing the energies of the students Especially is this true of the personal conferences which some of the speakers had with the students. Many of the girls testify to the helpful suggestions of Miss Bertha Johnson, S-tate Secretary of Volunteer Workg while the boys owe a great debt to Mr. D. F. McClellan, a missionary now in India, to Mr. Paul E. Reichel, traveling secretary of the Volunteer Movement, and to our teachers, Mr. R. C. Agne and Dr. Albert Beam, for their invaluable instruction. Vvhen we add to these facts the service which the Volunteers have rendered to the Students by bringing the Student Volunteer Conference of Northern Ohio to Heidelberg, we gain some idea of the vital force of the Volunteer Band. The results of the efforts of the Student Volunteer Movement in the past are shown by the following alumni and students of Heidelberg who have done or are doing foreign missionary work: Jairus P. Moore, Lillie M. Rohrbaugh '89, Howard K. Shumalcer '91, Albert Beam, Lena Zurfluh '93, S. S. Snyder, F. Cromer '94, Mary C. Knauss '96, C. S. Reifsnyder, Sadie l... Weidner, Jesse F.

Thus honored, -'- Heidelberg endeavored to show her gratitude by careful detailed preparation for this event. Entire arrangements for the program and other parts of the conference were planned by the local Volunteer Band. The seventy-five delegates were entertained in comfortable homes of city church people. The whole student body joined in showing a hearty spirit of hospitality, and much personal benefit was gained by mingling with wide-awake Christian men and women' from the various institutions. Of the fifteen colleges in the Union, thirteen responded at the Conference supper on Friday evening by telling how many students were present from each college, and what they expected to get out of the conference. The college songs and yells on this occasion manifested a deep feeling of friendliness. The college students and delegates, as well as the citizens of Tiffin, who heard Dr. J. Campbell White speak on Friday evening will not forget his magnanimous power nor fail to realize the comprehensions he has of the world need. He presented the inade- quacy of the heathen religions in regard to their idea of moral laws, prayer and salvation and emphasized the eternal character of spiritual values. Dr. Adams of Hunan, China, presented the great medical need of China, on Sat- urday afternoon. Prof. Agne who has been a missionary in Beirut, Syria, brought a keener realization of the conditions in the Holy Land which is under the sway of non- Christian religions and showed the need of reclaiming it for Christianity. One of the most realistic and vivid descriptions of conditions was that of Mr. Hope of West Africa in which he told how he planted a school, set out a town and established a Y. M. C. A. there, one hundred and twenty miles inland. The industrial work carried on with these people was a great undertaking and revealed again the courage, the power, and the perseverance that is needed in this work. Mr. S. S. Hough's address on The Present World Challenge, on Sunday afternoon, was rich in its definite appeal to this generation. He emphasized the point that now, since two centuries ago missionaries came to our land to establish the Christian religion, we, today, are greatly indebted for that service rendered to us. Mr. Mitchell told about his experiences in working with some rural people in a certain district in India. Mr. Russell and Miss Kelsey, traveling secre- taries of the Student Volunteer Union, and Dr. C. E.. Miller led the conferences, especi- ally in the devotional spirit, and held high the purpose of the conference. The individual private conferences with these leaders were of utmost value to many students. Next year the conference will be held at Findlay College. The president of the Northern Ohio Union was chosen from among the Heidelberg students-Mr. Edwin R. Butcher. The students of Heidelberg have had a wonderful opportunity to gain a keener realization of the great motto- The Evangelization of the World in This Generation, and the spiritual life of the college has been greatly strengthened. 101 , we-, , .azz V, ' NORTHERN OHIO STUDENT VOLUNTEER CONFERENCE Y' I' Gbratnriral anh Eehating Azznriatinn CHARLES WARNER .....,,... ....,.........,..

Much is due limi' to t em for success ul y managing t e e ates. As presx ent, ar es arner Amen h f l ' h d b 'd Ch l W L ' A-J proved a most efficient oflicer. Mr. Kefauver rendered much aid to the Asso- ciation by attending to the great amount of necessary correspondence. The other officers, too, did their part in making the Association's work effective. The oflicers of the Association were also in charge of arranging the details of the Slate Ofalofigal contest in which Heidelberg this year won second place. 104 Stair QB1'z1tnrira1t Qluntrat At the State Oratorical Contest held at Baldwin- Wallace College, Berea, February ll, l9I6, Virgil E. Cramer, a member of the class of 1916, won second place. I-le tied for First place with the representative from Ohio University, Athens, but the decision was later awarded to the Ohio University man, and Mr. Cramer was given second place. This is the highest oratorical honor Heidelberg has attained for some time. The subject of Mr, Cramerls oration was TI-IE SPIRIT DOMINANTH After all the lessons of the past and with the devastated and still bleeding Balkans before them thirteen nations are at war. For the wrecl-c of this conflict which is increasing from day to clay, we aslc if there is any clear and inevitable reason. No Bismarck has racked Prussia to make Germany. No Agadiv incident has set off the march of events, No invincible horde is advancing out of Asia. It is not a war of kings or emperors for sovereigns lat their strongest are but the expressions of a national will. And it is not a struggle for the assassination of the Archdulce Ferdinand. The real causes of the present struggle lie deeper, in the very origin of society, and have arisen in the development of the social structure itself .......... The spirit of industry and commerce, the spirit of materialism, is the motive force of the present generation. In its development it has become so interwoven in the social fabric that it is now the criterion of the onward march of civilization. The love of wealth that follows in its train, is an end toward which far too many are being directed. And, in the mad race for gain, nations have set aside the higher ties of social and ethnic unity that originally bound them together. Yet in the midst of these conflicting interests there was developed a paradox so momentous in its influence as to jeopardize the entire social structure. In their desire for aggrandizement nations became selfish. Distrust, together with ambitious policies, paved the way for a militarism that has destroyed the true bonds of friendship and subdued all classes of society. This militarism was itself the very cause of fear and misundersta-ndings, for the more powerful armies and navies grew, the greater became the rivalry among nations. ....... . The plan which we propose as the solution to this great problem suggests that a world could be established whose authority shall rest upon an agreement among nations and the support of the army and navy of the world. Such a court would take as its basis the laws formulated by an international representative body. These laws it would interpret and apply and if necessary enforce. Bonds of union would be established that would malce sectional differences impossible. And there would result a conhdence in humanity that would defy irrational prejudice. This is our plan of world union. Today the nations are in the same stage of development as that of the thirteen states during the critical period of American history. The Hague conferences, com- mercial treaties, and international law are as effective in governing the original states. At that time these thirteen states were no more united than are the nations today. Yet out of that loosely-built, ill-constructed union there has grown the greatest organization in history. The United States is a' world in the miniature. All races and peoples live here in peace. The influences that have made us a united people are world-wide' and are even now ready to brealc through the last and greatest barriers of race, language, and religion in combining th nations into one great political organization. For the reconstruction that follows the present conflict a choice must be made-whether they shall continue in the present state of antagonism and strife, or whether universal union. But in the inevitable course of events a world union must come. For that day a new society shall be established, a society based upon altruism and brotherly love, that shall stand forth, not in conflict as in centuries past, but as the highest, greatest, noblest achievement of humanity-The Federation of the World. 105 HEPPERT, WARNER CCapt.J, KROUT Hiram sinh iiarlham Gram fAffirmativeQ At Heidelberg and at Earlham Resolved: That State and Local Revenues should be derived from a Single Tax, on the Economic Rent of Land.

Although it is only five years old, it can be truly said that its evolution has been for the best, and finally, under the supervision of Prof. Swink, it has reached an enviable position among the dramatic clubs of Ohio colleges. The club is purely a student or- ganization, and admittance to membership may only be secured after the club has given its assent by a majority vote. It is the custom to stage a Shakespearean play in Ben Greet setting on the campus during commencement. Last year The Taming of the Shrew was given with splendid success, the success being due largely to an excellently chosen cast. This year, although a play has not been fully decided upon, the future looks exceedingly bright, owing to the fact that the club has recently added some valuable talent. 115 x.- rvaa Glluh OFFICERS BERNICE I-IUTQHENS... ,..A....,. ......,... .....,..,,..,..

This time it was The Press Club. Heidelberg has her Y. M. C. A., and her Y. W. C. A., and her social clubs, but none of them quite met the needs of a number of students who were particularly interested in the study of journalism. Hence it was that on the aforesaid evening a group of students met and organized the Heidel- berg Press Club, with the study of journalism as its main object. The club has held several very interesting meetings at which papers on journalism in its different aspects have been presented. On October 28th, Mr. Dildine, of the Tim Tribune, an old hand at the newspaper business, gave a very interesting and in- structive talk. It is the intention of the club to have other speakers address them from time to time. The club is also planning to do some real journalistic work in reporting to the papers in the home towns of the students anything of interest to those at home which happens here at Heidelberg. The club is not under the Supervision of either the Kilikilik of the Aurora, but, from the very nature of its work, aims to help both publications. It is the duty of the Publi- cation Committee to recommend for publication in either of these college organs any article written by a member of the Press Club, which in the estimation of the committee is merited worthy of print. ln this way the club and the college publications seek to co-operate and be of mutual benefit. The membership of the club is open to all students, the only condition being that the Student be interested in journalism. 116 iihgairal Srivnrv Qtluh The Physical Science Club of the University, organized a little more than a year ago, has become a permanent feature on the campus. This year its membership has increased and two meetings are held each month instead of one, as was formerly the case. Prof. Graber is the leading spirit of the organization, the purpose of which is to inspire a greater interest in the physical sciences among the students and to become a valuable source of aid to all pursuing these subjects.

Formerly it was printed as a bi- monthly magazine, but owing to the growth of Heidelberg and the spirit of its students it has been published for the last three years in a six-page weekly news- paper form. This advance has added greatly to the usefulness of the paper and to the interest manifested in it by the students. A faculty committee appoints the Hchiefsn who select their assistants. The editorial and business staffs are well or- ganized this year. The various depart- ments are consistently conducted and the editors are doing all that is possible to make the paper a vital part of the college life. Above all it is their purpose to re- flect truthfully the ideals and standards of I-Ieidelberg. The paper is self-supporting but non- remunerative, and, as such, deserves the hearty Support of every loyal I-Ieidel- berger. The Kililtililt has at least one thing other college papers do not have. It has a name which no one but a Ifleidelberger can interpret. f- X Xt f wr!

CI-IORUS:- 139 Uhr Halur nf lgrrparrhnrma I, ODAY the watchword of the nations is Preparedness. With twelve European powers engaged in a giga-ntic struggle for supremacy, the neutral nations are considering as never before the question of national preparedness. The discussion of this question has centered the attention mlm of all upon Germany, for Germany has shown the world the value of being ready. Since the close of the Franco-Prussian war thelpolicy of the German Empire has been to be ready for every emergency. An almost invincible chain of fortresses has been constructed, a system of military service has been in use which makes every male citizen a soldier and every possible effort has been made to perfect the equipment of both army and navy. Consequently when the crisis came Germany was prepared and so adequately prepared that she has been able to hold three nations at bay almost single handed. Truly the Teutons have given us a great lesson in the value of Preparedness, While preparedness is of inestimable value to a nation, it has an equal importa-nce in the life of an individual. Preparedness to meet the opportunities of life means success, the lack of it spells certain failure. Ir is the man who is ready when the opportunity presents itself, who reaches the goal for which he is striving. During the critical period of our nation's history when the various states were considering the advisability of accepting the Constitution, a convention met at Poughkeepsie, New York, to decide whether that state would support the Union. -Of the fifty-seven delegates almost two-thirds were preju- diced against the proposed Constitution. There was a young man some thirty years of age who was very desirous of securing a vote in favor of the constitution and the Federal Union. For three days he worked unceasingly, meeting every attack of the enemy, and presenting the question to the delegates in its every aspect. Wheli the vote was taken it was found that the young man had won and the Union was assured. This was Alexander l-lamilton's greatest victory and it came as the result of his Prepared- ness. Full ten years he had studied and worked so that when the time came he was ready. When this nation called Abraham Lincoln to the highest office in the land, there were many who questioned the wisdom of the choice. But Abraham Lincoln was prepared. For thirty years he had been training himself and when the opportunity of his life came, he could say with a clear conscience, I am ready. What would have been the result if this Illinois pioneer had been unprepared? Such a question opens up the most appalling possibilities. Our finite minds cannot comprehend what might have been. We can only rejoice in the fact that the man in whom the nation placed its trust was thoroughly prepared for his task. ln spite of the fact that preparedness means so much to the individual, every passing day sees some tragedy of the unprepared. ln the city of Pittsburgh the Citizen's Trust Company Building is topped by a large steeple upon which there is the face of a clock. One afternoon the clock stopped at three and upon investigation the caretaker discovered that several burrs which held the hour and minute hand in position had worked loose. Procuring a rope he let himself down hand over hand along the face of the clock until his feet rested upon the hour hand. Carefully working his way along thisbhand he reached the point where the two hands were joined and tightened the loosened burrs. As the clock started the hour hand dropped six inches. The jar almost caused him to lose his balance. Crawling back to the point where he had let himself down, he rose to a standing position and reached for the rope. The six inches drop in the hour hand had placed it just beyond his grasp. Hor- rihed he crouched down and tremblingly waited for the minute hand to traverse the distance between twelve and three. Then he would grasp it and swing around to a position where he could reach the rope. The minute hand had reached one. It was live after three. After what seemed an age it was at two-ten after three. Slowly it came down toward him-fourteen after three. l-le reached up and grasped it. The clock stopped. Late that evening those who passed the Citizens Building noticed that the clock had stopped at quarter after three. Upon looking more closely they could see a small darlc object wedged between the hands, bearing witness in its mute way, to the tragedy of the unprepared. We who are college students are in the period of what should be our greatest preparation. Are we going out into life equipped with a rope which is just too short?

I venture to believe that the time is coming when no other plan will be deemed consistent with the growth of American manhood. Such is the belief of Edward Joynes, Emeritus Professor of the University of South Carolina, one who has studied Student Government in all of its phases and one who has been connected with schools having such a system. It has worked in many places. Ir is now worked successfully in many colleges and universities all over the country-why not at Heidelberg? Heidelberg is fast moving ahead of the time when student government was not needed. The conditions here are becoming, if they are not already like the conditions in other colleges where student government is not only successful but absolutely necessary for the best interests of the students. Heidelberg is a growing institution. Year before last the increase over the yea-r preceding was twenty- four per cent, last year it was twenty- six per cent over the year previousg and this year there are more students in all the departments than ever before in the history of the college. There is good reason to believe that while this growth may not continue to be as phenomenal in the future as it has been in the last few years, yet will be steady and permanent. New students and larger attendance will naturally bring new ideas and bigger problems. As but few members of the faculty live in constant association with the students, it is true beyond a doubt that the students will be left largely to themselves in solving these problems. The time is not far distant when all the students will be accommodated in dormitories-hence, new issues, student activities of various sorts are assuming larger proportions every year, and these cannot be succesfully controlled by any faculty action. Such conditions brought student government to other collegesg is it not time that steps be taken to have student government here? Just what is student government? ln the first pla-ce it does not mean license. The only difference between student government and the present order of things is that the students themselves through a student board would make and enforce the rules, whereas now the Faculty makes and enforces what rules there are. No doubt, some faculty member would help in the deliberations of this boardg yet the control of the student affairs would belong to the students themselves. All rules would be imposed by the students upon themselves. Democracy in college life would be the keynote to student government. You have seen that conditions here are fast becoming such as to demand student action of some sort. You have seen just what student government is. Does it not seem probable that student govern- ment would solve these problems? Surely, men and women in college should know how to act without always being ruled by the decision of a few! An article in a recent issue of the Independent says that Responsibility solves these undergraduate citizens, and they are receiving the best possible training for the life of the republic. There is no doubt but that the students when placed in a responsible position would be able to make and enforce just rules. Radicalism soon disappears when power is given the student body. Such has been the past experience of any political society. And such a society would student government bring about-to be a part of which would not only interest but also instruct each individual. Education in citizenship alone is reason good enough for establishing student govern- ment. The college man does get the theory. Such a system of student government would help him get some practice in the application of that theory, before he has to face the censure of criticism so willingly bestowed upon the college graduates. What is to hinder us from adopting student government? Simply our own inertia, which always stands in the way to govern ourselves as students. Let each student consider the need for action. Let each one then act in the way he sees fit. But above everything else, may we all take that step which will lead to individual help and bigger Heidelberg-that step which will mean student government, of the students, by the students and for the students.

With the school year came a new corps of efficient instructors who have worked tire- lessly under the guiding hand of Professor Frank W. Gillis, for the betterment of our musical department. The large enrollment in the voice department has made an assistant teacher neces- sary and this position is ably filled by Miss lVlaizee Bridges, a former pupil of Professor Gillis. This year the piano department was moved to a separate building on East Perry Street, and here Professor Frederick Bach and his assistant, John Williams, have charge of the piano and organ pupils. Professor Emil Stuermer devotes two days a week to the violin department and if the enrollment in the violin classes enlarges as rapidly as in the other departments it will become necessary for Professor Stuermer to devote all his time at Heidelberg. A branch conservatory has been established at Fostoria, Ohio. The enrollment is very good, and this venture bids fair to become as successful as the mother institution at Tiffin.

This year found almost a complete 'change in the personnel of this organization, but the high standard of the club is being carried on as effectively as in former years. After weeks of hard practice the men left on December 30, l9l5, to begin their annual tour. During their trip the men were received enthusiastically at New Berlin, Canton, Sugar Creek, and Louisvilleg and at New Philadelphia, Lisbon, North Lima, Akron and Wadsworth they drew large and appreciative audiences. The same spirited reception has greeted them on all their one night stands. With their characteristic energy the members are making themselves ready for the Spring Home Concert, especially because this is the culminating effort of the year for all this organization. And with the same eagerness music lovers of Heidelberg and Tifhn are waiting for this concert. 157 Uhr iHHixrh Qbuarirtte Mlss MAIZEE BRIDGES ....... Q,,,,...., S oprano MRS.

B aritone A year ago Professor Gillis conceived the idea of organizing a mixed quartet, the members of which should be his most promising pupils. The result is that today we have a quartet which displays talent equal to many professional quartets. On February l, 1916, the members of the quartet took the solo parts in the opera lVIarthaH given by the Oratorio Society. The opinion of those present is that for splendid solo work Professor Gillis need never use other than local talent. The members of the quartet are all engaged in church work either as directors or soloistsg the splendid way in which they carry on their parts is another testimony to their musical ability. 158 E112 Eahirn' Q9uarIPitv NINA I-IARDINC. ,..,... ,,,,,,,,, F irsz Soprano LETTIE KING ,.,,.... ,.,...

The four soloists were john T. Reed, bassog Grant Kimball, tenor: Jennie F. Johnson, alto: and Mrs, john T. Reed, soprano, all of Chicago. Mr. and Mrs. Reed appeared here on two former occasions, and this time they were heartily welcomed as old friends by the music lovers of Tiffin. Miss johnson and Mr. Kimbell, though appearing for the first time, gave great satisfaction. The interpretation of the Messiah was a success in every way. The faithful work of the Oratorio Society under Professor Gillis' capable direction resulted in a perfect blending of voices, which was very pleasing. The artists sang with a perfect understanding of the music and the sentiment of the composer. ln rendering a work like the Messiah much depends upon the director. There must be perfect accord between chorus, accompaniment, soloists, and director: it can truly be said that this complete harmony was attained under the guidance of Professor Gillis. The second number of the festival was the piano lecture recital by Mr. Allen Spencer of Chicago, given Wednesday afternoon, April 28. Mr. Spencer has chosen a program from representative works of classic and modern composers, He preceded the rendition of these with a few explanatory remarks which made the interpretation clearer. Mr. Spencer's recital was very well received for this method of piano recital can be much more appreciated than one in which no explanations are given. The third and last number of the musical festival was the artists' recital given Wednesday evening by the soloists who sang in the Messiah. These artists gave a program in which each sang a series of songs, and then the quartet united in Liza l..ehmann's famous song cycle, the Persian Garden. The rendition of this song cycle was splendid, showing a wonderful blending of the four voices. The audience was exceedingly pleased with the evening's program, and this was due to a great extent to the charming personalities of the singers who seemed like old friends. The Musical Festival of 1915 was a success in every way, except perhaps, in the size of the audience, which might have been larger. lt seems that more people of Tiffin and especially the students of the college might avail themselves of the opportunity of hearing good music which the Annual Musical Festival always offers. !HtIarthn The University Oratorio Society this year digressed from its usual custom of rendering oratorios, and gave instead the light opera ' Martha, on the evening of February l, l9l6. Martha is probably the most popular of light operas and the choosing of it gave great pleasure to the audience. The opera was given under the direction of Professor Gillis. The Oratorio Society was assisted by the Heidelberg Orchestra under the direction of Professor Stuermer, with Fred Heil at the organ. The work of the orchestra was excellent, adding much to the success of the production. The college mixed quartet composed of Miss Maizee Bridges, sopranog Mrs. Allen, alto, Mr. Talmadge Bittikofer, bassog and lMr. Calvin Burghalter, tenor, sang the solo parts. Each soloist interpreted well the characters represented. The individual parts as well as the duets and quartets were sung in an attractive manner. The splendid work of this quartet displayed the fact that it is not always necessary to draw upon outside artists for oratorio work. All music lovers are looking forward to the grand opera Aida, the masterpiece of Giuseppe Verdi, which will be given by the Oratorio Society in the spring. The Society being well trained will be able to give a good interpretation of this production. 163 Svtuhvnt fliiuairal iltrriislla URING the early months of the year la series of Monday eiening recitals were given in 564' Rickly Chapel by the advanced students of the Conseriatory of Music. These recitals were of especial merit and were greatly enjoyed by all who attended. The first of these the---I recitals was given by Mr. John Williams, Professor Bach's able assistant, on the evening of September 27. Miss Maizee Bridges, assistant vocal instructor, added her share in making this one of the most brilliant concerts ever heard in Rickly Chapel. On the evening of October 4, Professor Bach presented Miss Ruth Million in a piano recital. Miss Million was graduated last June from the Conservatory of Adrian College and came to Heidel- berg to continue her study under Professor Bach. She has remarkable musical talent which insures a promising future for her. Mr. Talmadge Bittikofer, baritone, assisted in this program. The third of the series of recitals was given October It by 'Mr. Fra-nk Roberts. Mr. Roberts has studied with Professor Bach for six years and, as did many of the Professors pupils, came to Heidelberg to finish his study. Mr. Roberts' splendid ability as a pianist was displayed at this concert. Two successive concerts, one on the evening of November l, and the other on November 8, were given by a group of piano, organ and voice students. At these concerts several of Professor Bach's former pupils were presented for the first time and showed great skill and ability. The Heidelberg Conservatory of Music has never before had such a large class of capable pupils in both organ and piano. The vocal numbers given by advanced pupils of the conservatory showed great advancement made under the training of Professor Gillis. Mr. Talmadge Bittikofer, baritone, gave a song recital on the evening of November 22, at the Masonic Temple, assisted by Mr. john Williams and Mr. Frank Roberts at the piano. Mr. Bittikofer was graduated from Heidelberg University last June but has returned this year to finish his vocal training under Professor Gillis. Mr. Bittikofer has a splendid voice and together with his pleasing personality always charms his audience. The series of recitals of the Conservatory of Music was ended by Miss Edith Kantzer in a song recital on the evening of December l3. Miss Kantzer has been a student at the college for a number of years and last year assisted Professor Gillis in voice instruction. 'Miss Kantzer possesses a high soprano xoice, remarkably clear and sweet. Her program was quite varied, high and heavy numbers displaying her voice to advantage. ln the rendition of l-landel's Rejoice Greatly from the Messiah, she was accompanied by four violins which added greatly to the beauty of the number. Miss Ruth Million was the able accompanist. Svnnhag Afternnun Hraprm Of all the musical treats of the year, probably the greatest and most helpful were the Sunday Vesper services given by Professor Bach at four o'clock every Sunday afternoon in Rickly Chapel. These organ recitals, which consisted of musical masterpieces both sacred and secular, were enjoyed by all music lovers, It was really a privilege to attend these services. To sit in the afternoon twilight and hear no spoken word, only the tones of the organ which spoke a language of its own, was truly a blessing to many. The services were varied occasionally with song, a solo, now and then, by some talented singer of the college. There were many regrets in the college circle and among the people of Tiffin when these services were discontinued. 164 K XX X f X V X if A P. Q. FREEMAN.. E. R. BUTCHER .....,. DAWN SWTNHART G.

This Board has supervision of everything pertaining to inter-'collegiate as well as intra-collegiate sports. It appropriates funds, designates the I-l-men, gives the insignia and approves schedules. In fact, it supervises all athletics. lndirectly, the student body has a voice in these activities. That is, it has its own student board and is represented on the Heidelberg Board by its president and the mana- gers of the various varsity teams. These men are all elected by the direct vote of the student body. Thus, while the student body does not have direct control of athletic affairs, yet it has voice enough in these things to keep up the spirit and the interest in athletics, without which they would result in failure. 166 0 DCLLL Q v t 1 S 1: 1' -3 T t ' f 4, :K '1 , v K F axllizhlgzfinqrztllllltlltip:nhlJill!!nrDJHHl5JlJI0IZlIll1Il1li1 1 una-r.-4.4,-..4ganuuyuuwuuuau4wnvl1n nndlziihh hw u. 224224422 audlld' ' ' 54.4 I A' 7.' ,-7.55-,F 'X ...

The man who has made the other col- leges look up and take notice of his genius in putting out a team of state-wide reputation.

The team representing the college during this last season was one of tne strongest that has ever repre- sented the institution. Composed of light men, and outweighed by every team it played against, the H. U. Varsity made a grand record for itself and will be remembered for many moons in the annals of Ohio football as one of the fastest and scrappiest aggregations ever organized in the state. Eight games were played. Five were won, two were lost, although one of these can hardly be considered a defeat. and one game resulted in a O to 0 score. Heidelberg totalled l33 points to her opponents' 40. E f-wo days before the opening of school the candidates for the squad assembled for the first practice. Of the veteran letter men Neff and Butcher were back at the end positions, Bittikofer tackle. and Kelly center were in their old places, and Clark and White halfbacks, and Captain Ctrether fullback, formed the nucleus around which the new backheld was to be built. Warner and Heppert soon filled the guard positions and Reinbolt, a product of Fostoria, was placed at left tackle. ln the absence of Baldy Brown, who failed to return in the fall, the need for a competent quarter was deeply felt. This position was very ably filled by Dale Hilbish, 'a man who hailed from Akron Central High, and whose exceptional ability at the pivotal position was soon demonstrated. Coach Martin realized the gratification of a long felt desire when it was found that the team would not lack a punter. Herman Sayger came here from Culver, Indiana, where in a single season at the Culver Military Academy he had proven his aptitude for the gridiron game and his talent as a punter. He was placed at half with Clark and with Captain Grether at full the team was complete. After two weeks of the hardest practice, on Saturday, September the 25th, the team went to Oberlin for the usual opening game and gave the upstate college the greatest surprise it has had in years. It achieved the unpredicted when it held Oberlin 0 to 0 up to the last few moments of play and only permitted its opponents to score when an unlucky fumble by Hilbish, who played a great game. enabled Fauver, an Oberlin end, to plant the ball behind the goal line. The team fought coolly and determinedly and contested every inch of ground. Kelly played his first and last game and did so well that he was mentioned for all-state center. The players sustained a number of injuries as is usual in this yearly contest with a heavier team and as a result, when the time came for the contest with Wooster on the following Saturday, things looked very, very blue, for, on Friday afternoon, Kelly was taken to the hospital. Neff and Clark were both badly crippled and Lotz, the sub-center, upon whom it was now incumbent to take Kelly's place, had a broken hand. Wooster had a new field which she wished to have dedicated, so the H. U. men journeyed to Wooster the next day and dedicated it in spite of the numerous afore-mentioned setbacks, with a I3 to 6 victory. l..otz played a tremendous game at center and cinched the position for the remainder of the year. The game was a tie, 6 to 6, up to the last five minutes of play, when Hilbish ran back a punt thirty-hve yards and after Grether decreased the distance to the goal line by another try the Heidelberg quarter bucked it over the line. The University of Detroit was an easy victim for Heidelberg. On Saturday, October the 9th, the Michigan aggregation came down to Tiffin and returned towards evening burdened with a heavy goose egg while H. U. had thirty more tallies to her credit, Hilbish was not to be stopped by the Detroiters and his long runs around end and his clever returns of punts featured the contest. Clark and Neff were out of the game and were supplemented by White and Winters who played ably. Shick went in at quarter in the second half and played an exceptionally good game. Ohio Northern University was scheduled as Heidelberg's next opponent and on the Saturday following the Detroit contest the team with a small quota of valiant rooters went down to Ada- and administered a severe trouncing to O. N. U. The score was I4 to 0. The Northern men outweighed scrappy Heidelbergers were too much for them made not a single substitution in this game. men, but the following Monday harder practice contest with the Michigan Fresh. and went home lucky with a 21 to I5 victory. the H. U. players twenty pounds to the man, but the and Ada's heavy line was torn to pieces. Heidelberg The next Saturday was a holiday for the football than ever was prosecuted in anticipation of the coming The Michigan men arrived on October the 30th Twenty pounds per man at least represents the difference in the weight of the two teams. The H. U. men fought like bearcats but were unable to resist the rushes of the heavy Michigan backs and solve the intricate trick plays of Coach Yost's reserves. Sparks, the Freshman quarter, did wonderful work for his team and was a fast and tricky runner. Snyder's bucks were irresistable. Of the H. Ut. men, Hilbish, Neff, Grether, Clark and Sayger deserve honorable mention. On Friday afternoon, November the 5th, the next game which was with Otterbein, was played at Westerville. As usual the Heidelberg men were outweighed, but they trounced the down-staters I3 to 7. Hilbish, despite a bad ankle, ran back punts in great style, and Kaufman got his first real chance at guard where he played an exceptional game. Sayger's punts averaged sixty yardsg he was a bearcat on off tackle plays and made constant and consistent gains.. A week after the Otterbein contest the Varsity journeyed to Defiance and there had the benefit of an excellent practice game with Defiance College. The second string backfield.was used almost entirely in this contest and they showed up very well. Hilbish and Sayger were laid off because of 175 injuries and were gieen an opportunity to rest up for the Muskingum game, which was to take place on the following Saturday. In absence of the Culver man, Bittikofer did the goa-l kicking and made an enviable record for himself, kicking seven goals out of a possible eight. His kick-off never fell below a sixty-yard minimum. 'fhe work of Leis, Shick, White and Locke in this contest is deserving of raise. PDuring the week after the Defiance contest the football squad was put through the hardest con- ceivable practice ma-noeuvers in preparation for the game with Muskingum. Muskingum had beaten some of the best teams in the slate and moreover had scored on W. St J., a team which defeated Yale. To say that Muskingum was feared would be putting it mildly. Every H. U. fan knew that she would bring to Tiffin on Saturday one of the fastest and heaviest teams in the state. Besides this the foot of Frost, the redoubtable drop-kicker was especially respected and preparations were made to block any attempts by the New Concordites to score on a field goal. A large crowd witnessed the game. The field was wet and heavy and Muskingum may thank her lucky stars that due to this fact Heidelberg was prevented from scoring. ln the first three quarters H. U. outplayed her opponents in every department of the game and in the last quarter the balance was either even or in favor of the Muskingum men, who took a decided brace in this period. Veteran Tiffin fans said that this game was the cleanest and most sportsmanlike game ever seen on the local field. We give support to this con- tention and wish to pay special tribute to the 'Muskingum men for the display of their ability to play clean and sportsmanlike football. Only once was H. U.'s goal threatened. Twice the Heidelberg men came close to scoring. ln both instances they lost the ball to Muskingum close to their opponent's ten- yard line. Muskingum! passes which had been greatly feared were effectively broken up. Every man deserves honor for his work in this contest. There were no stars. Each player did his duty. ' This game closed the season at the University and closed the most successful season in years. The college may well be proud of this great eleven. Of the line we have a word to say. Now the line of a football team are in a peculiarly unfor- tunate position. They do a tremendous amount of work and very seldom get any credit for it. Of H. Ufs line this year too much ca-nnot be said. The work of Bittikofer and Reinbolt at tackles was exceptional. Bittikofeifs size and weight were great factors in ground gaining on bucks through the line, and the same may be said of Reinbold. This lad knows the line game from start to finish, and the subs on the bench never tired of watching Rin:-ry 'get mad and then get going. Of Warner, Heppert, Lotz and Kaufman we can say that they formed the best combination of guards and center that H. U. has ever had. Kaufman's hands were big factors in defensive play. Heppert invariably played like a fiend and Lotz held down the center position in a truly masterly fashion. Charley Warner, the little man who took everything that came the way of the right guard, was a bearcat He had endeared himself to the heart of every H. U. football player and fan, and we can have nothing but infinite respect for a man who came out for the team four years before he was given his chance and then took his cha-nce and played his position as he did last year. Perseverance and pluck of this kind may well be revered and emulated. When it came to getting down under punts and pulling forward passes out of the ozone Butcher and Neff were the great little ends. Their work deserves the highest praise. These men with 'Connie' Clark, Dale Hilbish, Herman Sayger, .lim White and Cap Grether were the big boys of the eleven. They form an aggregation that you have to go miles to beat. The scrub eleven must not be forgotten here. H, U. had last fall the strongest second team that she has had in years. Football fans must not forget these men who contributed much to the season's success and will Fill the vacancies in next year's eleven.

B Although at times the team played remarkably well, the whole season was characterized by sadly infrequent and inopportune flashes of brilliant work and general inability on the part Yagi of the men to get together and put up consistently a presentab'e articte of bar. Two games ' were won, three were lost and one resulted in a tie score. . At the opening of the season the veterans presented themselves for practice, together with several new recruits and it looked as if Coach Martin might be able to construct a ball team, Ankeney, White and Finnell, veteran outfieldersg Neff, who had held down the third sack position the year beforeg Clark, the old first basemang Captain Kitterer, the second-sackerg Lust, catcher, and his old battery mate, Coy, were back on the job. There were several vacancies to fill. The need of another pitcher was evident and this position was filled by Graber, a youngster, who showed remarkable ability on the mound, although he lacked the experience of his collaborator, Coy. The shortstop position was a puzzler. 'Patu D'Arcy was graduated and for the first time in several years the position was open. Coach Martin finally solved the problem by putting Neff at short, moving Cap Kitterer up to third base and placing Vernier, a new man, who showed up well in practice, at second. With 'Dinkn Clark on the initial sack, Lust at catch, Coy and Graber on the pitching staff and the outfield being taken care of by White, Ankeney and Finnell, hard practice was begun in preparation for the Carnegie Tech game, which was to open the season at home on the hrst Saturday of May. On 'May Sth, the fast Carnegie aggregation came to Tifhn and the crowd on Armstrong field saw one of the fastest and loveliest exhibitions of ball ever staged in the city. The teams played evenly for three innings and at the opening of the seventh the score stood 3 to 3. It was in this inning that Graber, who up to this time did excellent work, weakened. The Tech boys corralled three runs in the seventh and three more in the ninth, which ended with a 9 to 3 score. As usual, our men fielded well and gave excellent support to Graber, but the batting was very weak. Carnegie had a team of hard and sure hitters and 'had it all over the H. U. team in that department of the game. On the following Thursday and Saturday the team lost two more games, both of the contests being played with St. Ignatius. The Thursday game was played at home, when St. Ignatius won, 5 to 2, and on Saturday a good-sized crowd at Gordon Park, Cleveland, witnessed the contest in which the Clevelanders literally swamped our boys and the contest ended with the Saints on the happy end of a I0 to l score. Defiance college was next on the schedule, and the Heidelberg men journeyed to Defiance on Saturday, the twenty-second of May, and walloped the local college 6 to 4. ln this game our men took a decided brace and seemed determined to wipe out the disgrace of the former defeats. Clark started the ball rolling the first inning, when he tripled with the bases full and later got home on l.,ust's single. ln the fifth ul-lap Kitterer slammed out a home run with one man on and completed H. U.'s score. Lust and Coy got their old combinations going in this contest and did splendid work. Bluffton college was the next victim. The team went to Bluffton on Thursday, the twenty-seventh of May, and defeated the Bluffton nine l to 0. Coy pitched nice ball and allowed only three hits. Clark was the h.ero and scored when, after getting a big one on the nose for two bases, he was able to reach home safely on Lust's infield drive. The last game of the season was the usual contest with the alumni. This game was played on the fifteenth of June and resulted in a tie score, the game being called by mutual consent of the teams in order that the players might not be late for the alumni banquet. Several old H. U. grid stars were in the held, including the redoubtable battery of the old days, composed of Bill Adams and 'rl-ed Baer. The game was fast and snappy and Shortstop Neff distinguished himself by his brilliant work. This contest closed the year's work.

I-IEIDELBERG! 183 Basket Hiatt ,Ig it-IIE basket ball season of l9l5-l6 was one of the most successful in l-leidelberg's history. l ln spite of the fact that we lost our first two games, our men kept persistently at it, with 5 the result that out of the regular schedule we won six out of ten games with some of the fastest teams in the state. 'L By means of a series of practices, the large number of men who responded to the first call was cut down to eight. To Neff, Locke, Mawhorter, Foust and C. Smith from last year were added D'Arcy, Sayger and H. Smith. At the beginning of the second semester a newcomer was added in the person of Hanscom. The season was opened with a snappy game with St. John's at Toledo. Although our men played a good game and were in the pink of condition, yet they were unable to successfully cope with their opponents, the score oemg 29-20 in favor of the Saints. The second game was played at home, with Wittenberg. This was a fast, clean gameg but th.e resolve of Wittenberg to avenge their loss to Heidelberg two years a-go was too strong to be broken, the resulting score being 28-2l in their favor. Our men next clashed with the fast and heavy Northern live. ln spite of the fact that the Northerners were determined to carry off our scalps in return for their defeat on the football field this last season, they were unable to break up the fast team work of the Varsity, who carried off the victory to the score of 30-19. The following week our men again played Northern, at Ada, in a fast, clean game, aga-in winning by the score of 24-l7. Feeling much elated over the last two victories, the varsity journeyed to Cleveland to clash with the strong St. Ignatius five. After a rough game, in which Heidelberg was in the lead up until the very last, the score was tied. ln the five minutes overtime, Heidelberg took the lead, the linal score being 28-24. This victory was followed by a fast and rough game on our home floor with the St. -l6hn's team, who, conlident of again winning, had brought along a large crowd of rooters. However, all of their trouble and noise availed them nothing, our men carrying off the score of 3l-23. By far the fastest game of the season was on our home floor with Muskingum. Our team secured a good lead, but was unable to hold it, by far the greater part of the game being played with an uncomfortable close score. ln the last few minutes Muskingum took a sudden spurt, gaining a lead which the varsity was unable to lessen. The score was 30-25. The last scheduled home game was with Otterbein, At the outset our men secured a ten-point lead, which was maintained throughout the game, the score being 35-25. On 'March 3, the team left on the only trip of the season in which more than one game was played. This included a fast game with St. Malrys of Dayton. St. Marys carried off the score by the tune of 44-22. The following night the second game with Otterbein was played, being easily won by the score of 45-26. This ended the regular scheduled games, but two more were secured with Defiance, which at the present writing have not been played. However, they should be easily added to our list of victories. Dec.

The first of these games between the Seniors ' and Sophomores was played preliminary to the Wittenberg game. This was a fast, snappy game, showing excellent team work on the part of the Sophomores, especially. The eighteeners took the lead from the Hrst, the final score being I9-5 in their favor. The second between the Juniors and Freshmen was played as a preliminary to the Muskingum game. This was an exceedingly exciting game for rooters and players. Luring the list half the Fresh men ran away with the score, which was I2-5. But in the second ha-If the Juniors came back with a rush, pressing their opponents so hard that the final score was I6-I4 in favor of the Freshmen. The final and deciding game between the Sophomores and Freshmen was played as a preliminary to the Defiance game. In this game some fine team work was displayed by the Freshmen, who soon gained a big lead, which the Sophomores were unable to cope with. This lead kept increasing steadily throughout the game, assuming the proportions of 33 to 8 at the end. This victory gives to the nine- teeners the college championship and the cup.

M91 The most interesting part of the tennis season is during commencement weelc, when the N ' singles a-nd doubles championship and the class tournaments are played. The preliminary singles of the men's contests resulted in the final match between Neff and A. Bittilcofer, This match was played on Tuesday of commencement week and resulted in a 6-2, 6-2, 6-2 score in favor of Neff. The preliminaries in the men's doubles resulted in Neff and G. Randolph Snyder being pitted against Hieber and Gephart, in which the former came out victors with the score of 6-l, 6-l and 6-2. In the girls' singles, the final match lay between Ruth Crum and Emma Frey, in which the latter carried off the honors. The preliminary tournaments were played off on Tuesday. In the men's doubles the Freshman team composed of Hieber and Gephart won over the Sophomores represented by Coy and Clarke, in three fast sets, 6-4, l-6, 6-4. The Junior team, Neff and G. Snyder, easily defeated the Seniors, C. Snyder and Stinchcomb, by the score of 6-7, 7-5. The Junior team then carried 06 the honors by winning over the Freshmen in two stra-ight sets, the resulting score being 6-l and 6-3. The girls' doubles were completed after only two matches, the Seniors not being represented, The first match between the Juniors, represented by the Misses Frey and Rader, won from the rMisses G. Miller and Crum, who carried the colors of the Sophomores, by the score of 6-3, 6-l. The second match between the juniors and the Freshmen, who were represented by the Misses Harding and Wyler, resulted in another victory for the juniors, thus mal-:ing the Junior class champions in both ladies' and men's doubles. 187 I1 'uf Y X' -1 ? 0.101515 x W Ve!
