JN ancient times it was believed that our own little planet was the center of the universe, and all other heavenly bodies revolved around and depended upon it. 80 to-day most students think their own department is the central figure of the University, and all others are merely satellites. The Greek Department of Indiana University is well equipped with every facility for interesting and profitable investigation, and, together with the Latin Department, offers the royal road to a purely classical course of study. The instruction is thorough and careful, and the student of Greek can not fail to become fascinated with his work, if he has any taste either for the study of language or antiquities. In this department he obtains a knowledge of the most perfect and most beautiful language of the world. He is introduced to a life and civilization unsurpassed by anything in antiquity. It furnishes him an opportunity to study the development of an unbroken line of language and civilization from the age of Homer to the present time. Through it he gets an idea of the early stages of epic and dramatic poetry, and becomes acquainted with a system of religion and philosophy, that has influenced the life and thought of the modern civilized world. The development of sculpture and architecture from a rude beginning to a high state of perfection is within his reach. The study of poetry, oratory, philosophy, government and history is at his hand if he will only lay hold of it. There is no student who is not made both wiser and better by having studied the epics of Homer, the songs of Sappho, the oratory of Demosthenes, the wisdom of Plato and Aristotle, the laws of Solon and Lycurgus, or the histories of Herodotus and Xenophon. In short, Greek life represents almost every phase of the life of the world ; and the study of it may well be called the study of the world in miniature.

William Dennis Bar- tle, Bartle, Ind. Xatin HERE was a time in the history of the University when the Latin department was little more than a name. Now, however, it compares favorably with the best. It is making itself felt, not only as an important part of Indiana University, but as a factor in the national educational system. As the department library is amply supplied with lexicons, reference works, commentaries and critical editions, thorough work is possible and required. There is a popular idea that we study dead languages that we may be able to interpret derived English words. Those who have this impres- sion are unaware of the true purposes of classical study. The idea that years should be spent in acquiring knowledge through which we might recognize words which could be learned direct in months, is nothing if not absurd. We do not study the works of old Roman authors with a view of learning Latin vocabularies ; we study them as literature. Latin as it was spoken and read, as near as it is possible to determine it, is the Latin taught at Indiana University. Hariiui Whetstone John- ston, Professor of Latin. A. B.

IRomance Xanouaoes N a liberal education French is an important factor. First, because the English language is the result of a fusion of Saxon and Norman speech. Second, because of the great influence of French literature. Third, because the French are foremost in taste, diplomacy and art. The study of the French language is the shortest way to these things, for in it are embodied the nation ' s individuality, genius and best thought. In the elementary study the student learns English history by com- paring the relation of Saxon to Norman-French words. The Saxon peasant had a board for his food, the Norman lord, a table. The former tended the swine, the latter ate the pore. So it was with sheep and mutton. In the sophomore and junior years, the masterpieces of Corneille, Racine and Moliere receive most attention, while the writers of the nineteenth century are studied by the seniors. All this work is supplemented by lectures, conversation and composition. French taste in etiquette, dress and art sends out its edicts from Paris. Students from all parts of the globe flock to the Louvre to study art. These, especially, need to study the French language, itself an instrument of grace and art, and to this day the language of international diplomacy. While the four years ' course of French in Indiana University can not and does not aim to turn out French linguists, artists and diplomats, it does lay a practical foundation for a historic, literary and scientific basis of French. It infuses into the student French vivacity, taste and culture, and this is a sufficient raison d ' etre for a place of French in a college education. Edouakd Baillot, Professor of Romance Languages.

German HE characteristic which the German Department has in common with the other departments of the University is its unbounded generosity in bestowing flunks upon hapless students. The characteristic which is distinctive of this department lies in the opportunities which it offers for the study of the German language and literature, and of Germanic philology. The German language is one of the most important modern languages. A knowledge of it is therefore of great general value. It has for most students a special importance, on account of the pre-eminence of German scholars and scientists. But our department regards such a knowledge only as a means of introducing the student to the broader fields of German literature and philology. German literature is one of the grand literatures of the world, while Germanic philology, which forms the basis for all accurate study of the German and English languages, ranks among the most instructive and fascinating of sciences. Our department is admirably equipped to deal with these subjects in all their phases. It can put the Freshman through the declensions and conjuga- tions, and can interest the Senior in the evolution of Faust or the intricacies of consonant shiftings. In their work our students are assisted not a little — though jjerhaps uncon- sciousty — by the all-pervading, sanctifying atmosphere emanating from the valuable library, concealed somewhere in the gloomy recesses of Maxwell ' s basement. It is true that many a poor Freshman is not readily influenced by this. But just let him come in contact with our instructors, and he will quickly realize that the study of German means something more than simply acquiring credits. The influence of the department is not confined to Indiana University, but is felt throughout the country. Dr. Karsten, who already has a world-wide reputation as a philologist, is now editing a new magazine, The Journal of Germanic Philology. It is by far the best publication of its kind, and will carry his name and that of Indiana University far and wide among educated people. Gustaf Ernst Karsten, Professor of Germanic Philology.

U. student who chooses English for his major treads no flowery path to honor and distinction, even though his way leads through the mellifluous How of lyric poetry, the resonant swell of the epic, and the sturm unci drang of tragic drama. Over the department hovers the I. U. Fairy, already renowned in song and story; within its doors stands the I. U. Cerberus; the number of the monster ' s heads, however, are tripled to meet the exigencies of the times. The three principal heads challenge every candidate for admission into the University with English 1. They simultaneously utter the mandate, Pass it — or take it, and each phrase closes with a snap — a snap that is echoed by the six minor heads and dies away in an ominous growl. This, however, is the only snap in the department. English 1 having been passed or taken, the student is ushered into English 7, and realizes for the first time that life is not worth living. His compositions come back to him illuminated in red ink. A Freshman once questioned: These contingent fees, amounting to something less than $15,000 — what are they used for? Why, my innocent, replied a Senior English, a large portion of that sum goes toward supplying the English Department with red ink. The Freshman was satisfied. If the unsophisticated student chooses English, thinking that here, at least, he will meet his difficulties in a known language, he learns the error of his judgment when he encounters English 14. Here he must have a knowledge not onl} ' of French and German, Greek and Latin, but Gothic and Sanskrit as well. The English professor assigns a selection of prose or poetry, and instructs the student to tell what he knows about it. He must analyze not only the selection, but the writer ' s mind, his mood, his temperament, his times. Moreover, the student must clearly and definitely set forth the effect the selection has upon himself, and tell how this effect is produced; he must set down what he sees and can prove, and what he feels but can not prove. Sometimes — oh, sad to relate! — a student falters and faints under this rigid regime, this close and subtle analysis; but the University authorities, with wise foresight, have made provision for such cases. The biological laboratories are used as sanitariums for overworked English students. Here, under the care of three eminent doctors, and the invigorating odor of alcoholic specimens, the student gradually regains his wonted health and strength. 26 Martin Wkight Sampson, Professor of English.

Ibistoi C.9 HE work in the Department of History in Indiana University is not a memorizing contest of names and dates, but is an intelligent study of the forces of civilization. Each part is studied with reference to the whole, and the student is thus prepared to reason from cause to effect. An old story tells us that a man with impaired vision was once permitted to ascend a dome of magnificent proportions, and in his hurry he saw only a small part, and that part he necessarily saw imperfectly. He reported that the dome was faulty, and that its beauty and strength were myths. He had formed his opinions by an examination of a few square feet and had not, therefore, seen the structure which, as a whole, had delighted the pilgrims of the earth. His point of view had not been well selected, and even if it had, the imperfect vision would have given him a wrong idea of a marvel of architectural skill. So it is in the study of history. The student must not look at a single fact alone, but with intellectual vision must see that fact in all its relations with the past and future. The selection of the courses offered in the Department of History is one that commends itself to those whose opinions are recognized as authority. These courses are in charge of five members of the faculty who have taken degrees at eight of the leading institutions of America and Europe. No department in the University maintains a higher standard of work for the students, and only one department has a larger number enrolled. The student here finds not only mental training, but he learns to know man in all ages and under all conditions. The relation of man to men is emphasized, and with this knowledge the student goes forth with renewed strength to meet the practical problems of life. He learns the lessons of peace and war — of victor and van- quished. Here he gains knowledge of the underlying principles of correct government, and, in becoming familiar with the progress of the years, he realizes more clearly than ever before that — Through the ages one increasing purpose runs, And the thoughts of men are widened with the process of the suns.

Economics anfc Social Science SPECIAL department in American universities and colleges for the study and investigation of economic and sociologic questions is a departure of comparatively recent years. Previous to that time students were accustomed to take occasional and cursory glances at Mills and Malthus, or the few other writers who had dared to invade a subject supposedly too vague and impenetrable for mortal to attack. But with the advance- ment of the other arts and sciences there dawned upon the minds of scholars the vague conception of a science, now called the science or sciences of economics and sociology. Educational institutions were quick to perceive the inestimable value of these sciences, and special departments were organized for their study. Indiana Universit} ' , always alert to the demands of modern ideas, was among the first to establish a special chair of this sort. The choice of occupants of the Chair of Economics and Social Science has been fortunate without exception. From Dr. Ross, the first incumbent, to Dr. Fetter, who is now head professor, the heads of this department have been scholars of marked ability. The Department of Economics and Social Science occupies a large niche in the educational structure at Indiana University.

That is why, we suppose, so many students will begin it. The delightful sense of possible danger is so enticing. Just to revel for a time in the bliss of delightful confusion is indeed fascinating. But life is not revelry; it is reality. Somehow, out of the echoes of the past, the facts of the present, and hope of the future, the faith of our lives must grow. Naturally then, we turn to other men and other times, reading in their growth and culture the meaning of our own existence, and the search for truth becomes to us the business of life. . no Cat has g tau LoeicU. ° £ ' M0R£ flS N0 C,T 36 William Lowe Bryan, Vice-President and Professor of Philosophy.

It also furnishes an opportunity for some who are not such enthusiasts to work off energy not surplus. At the first sight of the rooms set apart for this department the wary Freshman is at once impressed with the hard, cold, stern, prosaic facts of Mathematics: and the more is he thus impressed when he is brought face to face with real, living disciples of Euclid, Galileo, etc., whose very manners indicate the calm, calculating minds within. Upon inquiring from one of these professors concerning the work, he is told that if lie has had four years ' work in Mathematics in some good High School, and then has taught Mathematics for two or three years, or if he has taken two years or more of Mathematics in some good, reputable college or university, he will then be admitted to the Freshman Class upon trial. Upon inquiring of another professor, as to the nature of the work, if perchance the inquirer is a good-looking young lady, this professor will smile innocently and say, I fancy th is work is just what you want, and at the same time points to some course upon the schedule after which his own name appears. If, however, the inquirer is not of the above-named type, he puts on the most sanctimonious look and says, I fancy Professor has a class to meet your needs. Once enrolled in this department, the real work of studying, worrying, sweating, fretting, fussing, fuming, foaming, yea, swearing, begins. For a while all is dark; fate seems against you; deep despair hovers ever near; you decide to never, never make Mathematics your major. Even your friends notice a change, and say, Why, what ' s the matter? Are you sick? Have you lost a relative? You reply, Oh, no; no one is dead; I ' m not sick, but I can ' t get this measly Trigonometry lesson. But you struggle on; the light breaks; you get a glimpse of mathematical wonders beyond, including infinity and other intangibilities. In ecstacy you exclaim, ' The half has never yet been told ' me (by the H. S. teacher). You at once select Mathematics for your major subject. As to the professors, little need be said. In point of ability they all range some where between o and oo , and in point of residence from Bone Gap to Philadelphia. As to the product turned out, ' tis needless to say that it is not the dreamer, the theoretical enthusiast, nor the circle-squarer, if you please; but the brainy, practical mathematician as exemplified in the nine members comprising the crop of ' ' .

This is the modest statement found in laboratory manuals and dinned into the ears of beginning classes. Only beginners need such instruction. The memory of columns of figures; repetition of the same experiment time after time for more accurate results; measurements of almost infinitely small lengths and thicknesses, careful weighing in vacuo where not a pin-head of air is allowed — all these lend appreciation of this truth to the experienced. Then you ask: Why must there be so great exactness? What is the object of it all? The whole science of Physics is a grand organized effort to answer the Why and the What. They are the great questions of the physical world, and their number is trillion. Each answer is the unraveling of a cause and an effect. The whole forms an unbroken chain of facts and their relations, encircling the globe and reaching even into infinite space. Each student must forge for himself this chain of facts, link by link, as he progresses in his work. For a time he follows it easily, then with more difficulty; finally it seems to branch and reach out in all directions to the limits of space. But looking onward, across an almost impassable chasm, may be seen, high up on the mountain of knowledge, the unbroken chain, illumined by the genius of such men as Hertz and Clerk Maxwell. 44 Charles Tobias Knipp, Instructor in Physics.

Chemistry KONNEN sie Deutsch sprechen? If you can ' t, you should begin to learn at once, or else not choose Chemistry for a major. No laboratory in America is more thoroughly German than the Chemical Institute of Indiana Uni- ' versity. More than nine-tenths of the chemical library is in German, and the most substantial recommendation the department has is the fact that both our professors completed their preparation for teaching in German Universities. Wylie Hall is now devoted exclusively to Chemistry, except three small rooms occupied by our mathematicians. These rooms are needed by the Chemical Department, but Dr. Lyons wishes to keep in close proximity and relationship to the Department of Mathematics, in the hope that they may yet be able to teach some of our students simple proportion, the most important feature of chemical arithmetic. The student of Chemistry is introduced to the subject by a series of lectures illustrated by numerous experiments. After a reasonable probation he spends one year in qualitative analysis, and another in quantitative analysis. After this comes organic chemistry, chemistry of foods, physiological chemistry, toxicology and bacteriology, which for the most part are but polymeric forms of qualitative and quantitative analysis. If any department of Indiana University conforms to the idea of University — a school where there is opportunity for any line of work in any department — it is the Chemical Institute. The student rejoices in the system of free education afforded by the State, but before he proceeds far in the Department of Chemistiy he learns that, however gratuitous may be the instruction, the State does not hold itself liable for con- sumed chemicals and broken glassware. Hemmed in at one end of the term by laboratory fees, and by breakage bills at the other, the student specializing in Chemistry is apt to feel that an education costs something. 46 Eobert Edward Lyons, Professor of Chemistry.

(3eoloo II EN the student comes knocking at the door of the Department of Geology asking for bread, he is given a stone. Happy indeed is he if he escapes the rock pile. In this department we are never troubled with long harangues on the cruelty of vivisection. Our specimens differ from those of our neighbors across the hall. They are proof against ether, chloroform, gas, and all those concoctions that knock poor pussy into innocuous desuetude. In fact our specimens are dead — yes, very much dead — some of them having perished in even precamhrian times. The exact cause of death is not known, as the autopsy was not held until the specimen was in an advanced state of petrefaction. Some seem, like Hamlet ' s father, to have ' ' been taken full of bread ' ' ; others seem to have perished in a famine or bread riot. These hungry ones are fed only occasionally. When Prof. Newsom ' s axe falls upon some callow freshman, and he is cut off from among his people, his remains are fed to these half-famished ones and they hold high carnival. The subject-matter dealt with is certainly not devoid of interest. The earth, its history and development in time and space, its trying ordeals of fire and frost, the old life developing into the new — these are but a few of the themes which it seeks to make clear. The method employed in the department is strictly up-to-date, being based upon sound pedagogic and scientific principles. Original work in laboratory and field is absolutely essential. The student is brought face to face with the material with which geology deals. In short, the work is done by the laboratory method. John Flesher Newsom, Acting Assistant Professor of Geology. A.

Still, that makes an atmosphere in which giants can live. Once, there was one who lived here, and some of us remember him. Whenever we smell fish we feel like taking off our hats. He lived with us and worked with us and taught us in these halls, and still had the time to deliver lectures and laugh the boys out of their sinful ways. And he was president in that little corner room. Original work? Students don ' t do much original work. They are here to learn the lick it is clone by. Patience! Days and clays of patience! They don ' t have much to show for it. The good of it? Then they know the cost of new facts. That is science to the worker. Some day an idea will be dimly outlined. Then these hours and hours of patience will save days and days of discouragement, and the idea will not be lost. You are the one who said there is no applied pedagogy in this school. You wouldn ' t like the odor? You should begin at the station. There is the odor of the woods and of the lake. If you think of going don ' t wear a starched shirt and creased trousers, they are not in style; they may be later in the day, hut it is less expensive to begin a la mode. Denim and hickory are the thing. If your boyhood was not carried out according to the plan given by Rousseau, your education will he incomplete if 3 r ou don ' t go. It is a nice thing to he a hoy again, for a summer anyhow. But don ' t expect a snap. Cutting up frogs doesn ' t do any good? Not to the frogs, that is a fact, and it depends a good deal on the boy whether it does him any good or not — but even a frog is fearfully and wonderfully made.

Botany WY.WY. are mam ways in which plants may be regarded as objects of m interest. The usual way is the sentimental one, followed especially H by the ladies, to whom Botany is nothing more than tearing plants r to pieces and analyzing them, by which is meant the fascinating- task of ascertaining a dull Latin name by means of a dry -as -dust book, instead of learning the more usual and certainly no more absurd popular name by asking some one who knows. People who have taken a short step beyond this sort of Botany pride them- selves on their scientific method, and look at green slime and all sorts of small water-plants through a compound microscope, talk learnedly of Spirogyra and conjugation, of Cladophora and zoospores, and when they get through neither they nor any one else knows any more about plants as living things than they did when they began. Some more people, who want to make Botany their specialty (as if any undergraduate could have a specialty, though even a minor can have a major!), are much interested in paraffine baths (other baths are scarce in Bloomington) and microtomes (cutting machines are needed in some of the boarding-clubs, too), and they like to make thin sections and stain them with pretty aniline colors, like Easter eggs, and put these sections away in little wooden boxes, which warp soon after they leave the Co-op., and all this is immensely scientific. Such people ' s fingers are covered with stains and their clothes smell of xylol, and their speech is polysyllabic, like a Boston man ' s. But this isn ' t real Botany; it ' s merely a series of experiments in embalming and in sectioning vegetable mummies. To counteract the very natural undergraduate tendency to cut up, the Trustees have seen fit to build a small green-house in which no zoologists or other Freshmen are allowed, where plants can be observed while they grow in clay pots and wooden boxes on stone shelves, and where there is a fine stone bath-tub, which, however, is used for cultivating those water-plants by means of studying which the members of Botany 1 hope to be able to make a credit and get a school to teach. But the Botanical Department, with its thirty women and ten men students, is trying to convince people that Physiology is the main thing, and that the physiology of a cabbage is the same as the physiology of man, who wants to monopolize everything. The instructors insist that people must know Physics, Chemistry, French, German, and the elements of the language of flowers before attempting any course on the second floor of Owen Hall.

She provides a school for the training of her teachers and for the instruction of her citizens in agriculture and the mechanical arts. As the State is governed by law, as lawyers exercise so great an _J influence in legislation that it may be said they are the makers of the 4jf laws, and as they are the interpreters of the laws, she has established and maintains a school of law. No one fixed means is employed by the professors of the School of Law of Indiana University in their teaching. Text-books, illustrative cases and lectures are each used. The ultimate purpose, the requirement of a knowledge of the law by the students, is thereby best accomplished as one means is reinforced by the others. Text-books are the embodiment of the abstract principles of law as gathered from the decisions of the various courts. Was the text-book alone used many times the student would fail to grasp the force of the principle, fail to understand its application to a particular set of facts. The ability to read a decision and abstract the proposition of law therefrom, is one of the most important accomplish- ments a lawyer can possess. This power is not acquired by the use of the text- book alone. These defects are remedied by the use of illustrative cases and lectures. A particular proposition of law may lie found quickly in a text-book, but judges do not accept bare statements of principles of law. Statements of principles must be substantiated by decisions. The lawyer who has studied cases in his college course can quickly separate the law from the dictum in a decision. This ability enables him to establish his propositions from original sources. The student in the School of Law of Indiana University may acquire much of the practical in the Moot, University Circuit, Forum and Supreme Courts. The Moot Court is a junior organization under the direction of Professor Rhetts. In this court statements of facts involving principles of law are given the students. It is the part of the student to study the facts and apply the principle of law involved. He then makes his argument before the court. In the University Circuit Court, in charge of Judge Reinhard, cases are tried just as they are in Circuit Courts. Members of the class serve as court officers, and a complete set of court records is provided. The Forum Court, in charge of Dean Rogers, is con- ducted upon the same plan as the University Circuit Court, but it is open to the members of both classes. The Supreme Court decides cases appealed to it from the three lower courts. The three professors are its judges. 54 William Perry Rogers, Dean of the Law School.

All student girls, faculty women, resident alumna 1 , and wives of married students are eligible to membership. The business of the League and its entire management is in the hands of an advisory board. Nine members of this board are student girls, chosen as representatives of the various girls ' circles in the institution. The other nine are women of experience, chosen also to represent these circles. The work of the League is done in ways specially helpful to women. New girls are received and helped to find suitable homes. They are called upon, and various entertainments are provided. Early in the fall t erm a reception was given, at which Dr. Swain gave a talk and was feted by the young women. Other entertainments of the year have been an address by Mrs. May Wright Sewall, of Indianapolis, on Social Forms, a musicale at Mrs. Swain ' s, and a public reading by Miss Katherine Oliver. The membership of the League is about one hundred and fifty. The Woman ' s League belongs to the Inter-collegiate Correspondence League, and has recently become a member of the Federation of the Woman ' s Clubs of Bloom- ington.

Baillot Secretaire, Mlle. E. Bethel Tresorier, M. A. T. Boisen Le Cercle fran ;ais, fondi en 1894, a pour but de donner aux etudiants l ' occasion de parler la langue francaise et de mettre ainsi en practique ce qu ' ils apprennent dans les classes. Chaque annee a vu s ' augmenter le nombre des membres de la societe; et, grace a la variete et a l ' excellence des programmes prepares par le comite, l ' interet dans les soirees franchises a encore grandi pendant l ' annee 1896-1897. Dans les classes at les minutes sont compties, il est difficile de s ' occuper de certaines questions qui si interessantes qu ' elles soient, ne peuvent faire partie du pro- gramme des etudes et qui, par consequent, doivent etre negligees. Ces questions trouvent leur place aux reunions du Cercle: Les moeurs, les institutions de la France sont discutees dans de petites conferences donnees par ceux qui ont voyage dans ce pays; la musique vocale oil instrumental executee par les membres donne une idee des compositeurs framjais; et enfin la comedie jouee par les etudiants des classes avancees en de hors de la pratique quelle procure aux acteurs, est une source de plaisir pour tous. Cette annee le Cercle francais a donne en public une Representation dramatique. Le succes en a ete si grand que nous pouvons considerer la soiree dramatique annuelle comme fondee. Le Cercle frantjais vient d ' etre admis dans l ' union des Clubs litteraires d ' Indiana et sera represente a la Convention de ces clubs a Warsaw. 138 TDie (Boetbe (Besellscbaft 9iid)t5 tjl nufe(id)cr unb angtefyenbet al§ im tcbcnbigen SluStaufd} bcr SBotte, ba§ im llnterricfjt Stletnte 511 ncrtocrtcn unb 511  er oUftanbigen. ©eSfyalB 6 c f t e t) t audj Ijict fcit mcljrcrcn 3al)ten cine S3eteintgung, bie fid) bic $Pftege bcutfdjcn (SefpradjeS, beutfdfjen Siebei unb bcutfdjcn ©emut§IeBen§ jum 3Wc gefctu (jnt.

Zoolooical Club THIS Club is the oldest departmental organization in Indiana University. It was V. v founded in 1882 as the Scientific Club by Dr. David Starr Jordan. Later it included mathematics and the physical sciences, but as the work of the different departments developed, other departmental clubs were organized and the Scien- tific Club become the Biological Club, and finally completed its evolution by merging into the Zoological Club. The meetings of the Club, as they are now conducted, are quite informal. All students of the department are welcome, but juniors and seniors are required to be present at each session and to participate in the work. This requirement, together with the custom of making a senior in zoology president of the Club, forms the unwritten constitution of the organization. The purpose of the Club is to discuss current zoological literature and the works of investigators foremost in this line of research. This year the work has been restricted mainly to a consideration of the cell as presented in Hertweg ' s The Cell, and Wilson ' s The Cell in Development and Heredity. Botanical Club f ' HE Botanical Club, composed of the advanced students and the instructors in VL ' botany, meets bi-weekly to discuss current botanical literature, to present reports on the investigations in the laboratory, and to consider those matters of most recent interest which may not find place in the lectures, but which are important to those who would keep pace with the advancement of botanical science. All advanced students are expected to take an active part in the work of the Club. 141 TTbe (Musical Club Lila Curtis President H. C. Berry Secretary CHE Physical Club is an organization of the advanced students of the Depart- ment of Physics. Its aim is to better enable the student to familiarize himself with the important advances in this science. It also gives the members an opportunity to become better acquainted with each other. The Club meets bi-weekly at the home of an instructor. Here papers on various subjects pertaining to Physics are read and freely discussed by the mem- bers and instructors present. The rema inder of the evening is spent in a social way. A president, secretary and executive committee constitute the officers of the Club. %$£ 142 Zbe H?ouno flfoen ' s Christian Hssociation S [ HE Y. M. C. A. is one of the strongest and most effective organizations in the J [y University. It is the one organization whose purpose is spiritual development and culture, without which no education is worth while. Its work is done by personal influence, through praise and prayer services, and in numerous neighborhood classes for Bible study. During the last year it has been especially prosperous. Its membership having more than doubled, it now enrolls over eighty pure, good young men, whose names rank high in college class-rolls. Its financial condition is good. The bi-weekly prayer meetings and Bible classes are better attended than ever before, so that the opportunity for helpfulness is greatly increased. Officers A. W. Hanson President W. E. Hanger Vice-President C. N. Combs Recording Secretary Omar Caswell Corresponding Secretary Robert Newland Treasurer TLhc JJ?ouno Women ' s Christian Hssociation There are red letter days in christian associations as in other organizations. Such a day came on the 20th of January, 1897, when Charles T. Studd visited Indiana University. The Young Women ' s Christian Association entered upon a period of extended usefulness and deepened spirituality. An increase in numbers and efficiency has come, and it now includes among its workers young women from all departments of the University. In this union is given such opportunity for cultivation of the whole nature as can be found in no other. The social privileges, Bible study, and devotional services promote the rounding out of noble and christian womanhood which no young woman can afford to neglect.

The little affair of March the 4th last, which occurred in Washington town, wherein one Grover Cleveland surrendered up the titles and emoluments of office, gives ample proof of the successful attainments of the Club ' s mission.

Now it came to pass in the year of our Lord, one thousand eight hun- dred and ninety-six, in the month of June, that an exceeding great multi- tude of wise men assembled before Maxwell Hall and demanded an inter- view with King Craven that they might further learn of him. 2. These people, both men and women, came from the north and the south, the east and the west, even from the rising and the going down of the sun. 3. Amongst them were certain sooth- sayers, seers, prophets, sages, and healers with marvelous Powers who sought to learn more of their myste- rious arts. 4. Thereupon King Craven appeared and inquired why they wished to ad- vance further into the mysteries of their profession. 5. To this question on the part of the King, they all with one accord made answer that they wished to know better how to teach the young American how to shoot. 6. Then the king waxed exceeding warm and demanded of every one the tenth part of his yearly earnings to fill the purses of his doctors and their attendants. 7. Moreover, he ordered that each man among them should write his name on paper scroll to be preserved in remembrance of this day. S. When the shekels were paid as demanded, the king spake unto the chief of the tribe, saying : A bronze tablet containing the above inscription was discovered while unearthing the immense library in Maxwell Hall. Other inscriptions have been found but of such a fragmentary character that nothing very definite can be learned of the Summer School. It is known however that the attendance was an increase over that of former years and that very excellent work was done in all departments. Translators have found it difficult to obtain satisfactory results since much of the writing is obliterated, owing to the frequent heavy rains of this period. Consequently critics have thought it necessary to supply a few phrases in order to complete the sense, althou gh these same critics differ in their speculations as to the original form. 148 9. Because it was in the hearts of thy people to teach the young Amer- ican how to shoot, and because thou hast not asked for beauty, hair restora- tives, nor youthful vigor; neither yet hast thou asked for keenness of vision and nimbleness of limb, 10. Skillfulness in bending the bow of wisdom and knowledge shall be granted unto thee, and I will cause my doctors and magicians to teach thee to shoot as none other has ever shot before thee. 11. Moreover, I will cause the ur- chins of America to wilt before thee at thy coming. 12. After these sayings of the king, the masters went their way to the de- partment of learning where precious books, fine stationery, and leaden pen- cils were distributed among them by the crafty co-ops, who exacted in payment thereof man} ' hard-earned shekels. 13. And the night came on and the chief and his tribe returned to their tents to prepare for the morrow. [An Inscription Dated June XV., MDCCCXCVI] Special announcements The Summer School opens June 15th. Several members of the faculty can not be present until the close of the week. This need prevent no student from paying his fee. Campustry will be left out of the curriculum unless there is a special demand for it. There will be no chapel exercises during the entire term. All lectures will be postponed until the last week. Classes meet at 7:30 and not at 5:00 o ' clock a. m., as Dr. Leser desired. The class in French meets daily at the residence of Mr. Williams, corner of Third and Dunn streets. A social will be given at the close of the term. All students and members of the faculty are invited. Refreshments: punch, at first; aqua? pluvia 3 , later. -Note— It will be noticed that the amusements of the times were pure and devoid of all undue hilarity is said these people possessed a certain dry wit which was peculiarly their own. flIMscellaneous jfraomcnts The psychological students receive their syllabi. Result: old maids and bachelors of thirty-five record their ages as twenty. From the syllabus on habit, an important discovery is made. Only men have bad habits; only men fabricate or use profane language. Conclusion: — The new woman is an angel. Mr. P — r — n — g, one week after the Summer School has begun : Wo und ach wo hat mein hochlandes Madchen gegangen? Much surprise is expressed that Mr. W — lb — rn, who took French during the Spring Term, flunked. We understand that he staid for the Summer School to explain how it happened. Dr. L — s — r dismisses class early to see die Mutter von zwei Fraulein theiren Abschied an der Train nehmen. The Fraulein, on seeing him, were alarmed lest the good doctor would think they had bolted. There is a rumor afloat that Mr. Shepard is married. It is to be hoped that the young man in the chemistry department, who was constantly calling for Shepard and Jones, will hear of his fate and cease annoying future summer schools. Base Ball: — Psychologists versus Englishmen. Score: 14 to 7, in favor of the Englishmen. Hot game. Binford loses self-control and repeatedly falls while playing the hill. Mr. P — w — rs makes a public announcement that the young lady at his boarding house is growing more becoming to him every day. Dr. B gives his class conumdrums as food for thought. If the devil should lose his tail, where would he go to find another? Ans. — To a saloon, where spirits are retailed. What kind of fruit does the electric light plant bear? Ans. — Currents. The long-talked-of chickens for the psychological laboratory fail to materialize. Instructors who are efficient in college work sometimes fail in practical affairs, i. e. poultry business. TLhc Biological Station Uawtcr pari? IHE purposes of the Station at Vawter Park are now too W e 1 1 k n o w n t o need any explana- tion. The Station has grown to be an indispensable part of the Summer School. Its for- tunate location makes it attractive to the scientist and pleasure-seeker alike; and the terms have been rich in profit and pleasure. According to those who know, the last term surpassed that of the previous summer in every respect. There were more instructors, more students, more buildings, more tents, more cases, more storms and more mosquitoes than before. Work and pleasure went hand in hand. ( n Mon- day, Wednesday and Friday of each week the students were expected to confine themselves to close scientific investigation in the laboratory, but there are those who know that things not to be classed under the head of science were done even in those days — to say nothing of the evening boat-ride and the plunge in the lake. Tues- day and Thursday were spent in tramping about the coun- try. The original design of these tramps ' ' was to make Biological and Geological observations, but that was lost sight of in the pleasure of the walks and drives and boat- rides and apple orchards and farm dinners. Saturday and Sunday belonged to the students; and the time on those days was usually spent in letter-writing, morning walks, longsiestas under the trees, or in singing evening lullabies between the lake and the moon. Games and singing were tbe features of the evenings; and man) - a man had occasion, as he turned in his bed at midnight, to send up a prayer for the souls of the serenaders. The White City in Vawter ' s Woods was the admiration of all who saw it. There the boys ate and slept and had their fun at a very cheap rate. There were about thirty students in attend- ance last summer; work in Botany will be added to the course this summer, and it is expected that the number will be greatly increased. If this is true, the good-natured denizens of Kosciusko County will sigh for the peaceful days that once were, but are no more. , ?, ?

A party of students under the direction of Mr. Newsom, started westward from Madison on the first day of July. By the last of August there had been made a detailed geological and topographical survey of a strip of country six miles wide, extending from Madison on the east to near Washington, Daviess County, on the west, covering an area of 500 square miles. The main objects of the survey were to give the student an accurate knowledge of southern Indiana stratigraphy, of geological map-making, of the methods used in field research, and, at the same time, to map the region covered and establish a base for future geological work. These objects were fully accomplished. The outfit was composed of three tents and camp equipage, note-books, barometers, compass, transits, hammers, and a goodly supply of pipes. 1 Hiring the past school year the field notes taken have been platted, and placed on the final sheets, making complete maps of the region. The country crossed by the survey is one of the most rugged and picturesque of Indiana, beginning as it does in the high hills and waterfalls near the Ohio, and passing through the high knobs of Washington County and mountains of Mar- tin. The work which was begun last summer will be further pursued during the summer vacations to come. ?? Calendar June 30th.— Outfit arrives at Madison by boat, rail, and dirt road.

This sonnet rded the prize of ten dollars offered by the Senior Class for the best poem. flIMss Ibenbevson ' s Experiment ( The prize of ten dollai ed by the Senior Class for the best short sto Mi Henderson ' s Experiment. ) ISS HENDERSON and Miss Marchant were struggling with their Algebra. At least Miss Marchant was struggling. Miss Hen- derson was fiddling with her pencil and gazing into space. Miss Marchant endured the pencil as long as she could. Then she said impatiently, Whatever is the matter, Marjorie ? Do keep that pencil still. Miss Henderson started. Oh, I beg your pardon, Edith, I was only think- ing. Miss Marchant laughed, and threw down her pencil: Really? You ought to be encouraged. Said she, ' ' Let ' s talk it over. ' ' ' ' I was thinking, ' ' observed Marjorie with dignity, what a satisfactory thing friendship between a man and a woman may be. Miss Marchant stared. And you really believe in it ! she asked. ' ' I have tried it and I know, ' ' said Marjorie. I never had a better friend than Mr. Needham. Miss Marchant looked at her curi- ously. I say, Marjorie, it ' s awfully impertinent, you know, but are you really only friends? Miss Henderson sat up very straight and her cheeks burnt scarlet. I agree with you that you are very impertinent, Edith. For the fiftieth time, Mr. Need- ham and I are only friends. Miss Marchant was not easily abashed. Oil, said she, I suppose it does not spoil things to have one-half of the col- lege believe that you are engaged, and the other half w r onder why you are not. ' ' • had a better friend than Mr. Needii Miss Henderson was spared any re- ply, for a clear whistle rang out, and there was an impatient knock at the door. Speak of angels, murmered Miss Marchant, as Marjorie opened the door. Good afternoon, Miss Henderson, don ' t you want to come for a bicycle ride before supper ? ' ' Of course I do. I ' ll not keep .you waiting a moment, Mr. Needham, and Marjorie left the room. Needham turned to Miss Marchant. By the way, Miss Marchant, the Alpha Gammas are giving a social next Friday- night, and we want you to be there. ' ' Norton ake a date with yon for hi Ah, that will be charming, Mr. Needham. I ' ll be delighted, I ' m sure. Well, Norton asked me to make a date with you for him. He ' s awfully busy these days, or he would have come himself. Just here Marjorie came in, arrayed in a sweater and a short skirt, and the two friends started off for a spin. When she was left alone, Miss Mar- chant thought for a long time. As a result of her thinking she determined to learn to ride a wheel. Dick Need- ham was a very attractive man, and Marjorie had said that he was only her friend. Marjorie came in at supper time, radiant. I ' m tremendously glad you are going Friday night. I ' m going with Mr. Needham. And oh, Edith, I wish you ' d learn to ride. I ' ve been thinking I will, said Edith. Papa has offered me a wheel, you know. ' ' Why, that will be awfully jolly. I ' ll teach you, and Mr. Needham will help. Which speech showed Marjorie ' s un- selfishness and her faith in Mr. Need- ham, for it is not pleasant to teach even the pret- tiest girl to ride a wheel. So Miss Mar- chant learned to ride, after many lessons. She could not ride far nor fast for she tired easily. but when she did ride she looked lovely. She was one of the girls who look well in a tailor-made gown, and her bicycle suit was a work of art. Miss Hender- son ' s sweater and home-made skirt were comfortable, but they were not becoming. Miss Marchant looked trimmer and prettier by contrast. Dick wondered how he had ever ad- mired Marjorie in a sweater. He thought now that it looked rather unwomanly. At any rate she did not ■ So Miss Marchant learned to ride after many le look pretty in it. And a girl should always look pretty if the thing is possible. Marjorie liked to ride fast. Dick had encouraged this, but now he thought it rather reckless and pre- ferred Miss Marchant ' s way of riding slowly and resting often. Therefore the three did not keep together well, and Mar- jorie began to take long solitary rides, leaving Needham to escort Miss Marchant. In these days Marjorie learned many things. Some of them were about friendship. She was dis- appointed in herself. She had thought nothing could shake her love for Edith, and now — ' ' W hat right had Edith to take her friend from her? she asked herself fiercely. What right had she to come, with her pretty face and her gentle ways, to make her appear rough ? ' ' And here Marjorie, ashamed of her jealously and sore at heart, dropped her scarlet face into her slender brown hands and cried. You see she had honestly believed that her feeling for Needham was mere friendliness. Even now she would not own that she loved him with all her strength. So she only cried, and hated Edith with a bitter hatred. Day by day the love grew r stronger and t he hatred more bitter. Eolith deserved the hatred, though Marjorie did not know it. She was clever at reading people, and she un- derstood Dick Needham. She insisted on talking to him about Marjorie on every occasion, and always sang her praises. Needham had his full share of the perversity of mankind, and he began to find fault with Marjorie for the sake of argument. Then Edith was sur- prised and hurt, She said that she had un- derstood that Dick was a very firm friend of Marjorie ' s — indeed, more than a friend. Dick believed that Marjorie had told her this, and it angered him. A woman who assumes that she owns a man, generally loses him. So Dick began to devote himself to Miss Marchant. Because he had really never cared for Marjorie this was an easy thing to do. Miss Marchant danced well, and she talked well. If she did not ride well, she rode well enough to give them many excuses for long afternoons together. She encouraged Needham to talk about himself. Marjorie had demanded help and sympathy. Edith put self into the background, and in her presence Needham felt himself a clever and im- portant man. Marjorie was much by herself in these days, but she sometimes joined them in their wheeling trips. One Saturday afternoon they were all three riding along a level bit of road. Mar- th to take her friend her? 183 jorie stopped to get some sprays of brier-rose, and the others rode ahead. When she started again they were con- siderably in advance. Marjorie remem- bered that there was a steep hill some distance ahead. She was desperate that afternoon, and as she thought of the hill a sudden plan formed in her mind. She still stubbornly hoped that Needham cared for her, and she deter- mined to bring him to his senses. If he could see her in real danger he would, as she expressed it, give himself away. They were about half way down the hill when she reached the top. She measured the hill carefully. If she went down at full speed, she would probably land in a heap at the bottom. The others were going down slowly. Edith was using her brake and back- pedaling. Marjorie could almost hear Needham urging her to be careful. The thought made her desperate. He had always encouraged her to be- reck- less. Marjorie had no brake on her wheel. Needham had taught her to brake with her foot. She thought of this as she felt her speed grow greater. She could not stop now if she wanted to. As she neared the other two she lost all control of her wheel. She set her teeth and tried to pass them safely. She did not want to hurt Dick. In trying to avoid him she rodedangerously near Edith. The wheel struck a stone and she pitched forward, striking Edith ' s wheel as she fell. There was a crash, and the girls and wheels lay on the hill-side. Marjorie lay still and white, with every sense alert. It was even better than she had hoped. Now Dick must choose between them, and even as she thought this, his terror-filled voice came sharply to her. Edith, Edith, are you hurt? ' She opened her eyes to see him kneeling at I Marchant ' s side. She opened her eyes to see him kneeling at Miss Marchant ' s side, and she heard her answer, ' ' Why no, Dick, ' ' in a tone that almost made her heart stand still. Then she saw r that they had forgotten all about her. Presently they came back to earth again, and Dick turned to Marjorie. I always said it was unsafe to ride without a brake, Miss Henderson. It is a mere chance that Edith was not killed. Florence Retd Myrick.

Mitb IDorotbs Oh. ! it ' s you, is it? Well, you can come in, she said. Thanks, I guess I will. And Jack squeezed through the gingerly opened door. I wasn ' t looking for you, she hegan as soon as he was on the inside. Oh ! you weren ' t, he said coolly. Well, I guess that won ' t matter. I ' m here, anyhow. He dropped his hat in one chair, laid his cane across the seat of another, placed his gloves on a third, and seated himself at one end of the divan, the only other piece of furniture in the room that he saw which could be sat on. Yes, I see you ' re here. I wish you hadn ' t come, though, I was just going up to my room to work. She laid a few pieces of music off the piano stool, which he had forgotten to consider, and sitting down upon it, stared across at the baffled Jack. Jack nonchalantly crossed his legs, clasped his hands in front of the upper knee, and returned her gaze. ' ' You were singing as I came up, ' ' he said at length. Yes, I always sing when anything pleases me. Evidently you were in a better humor then than you are now. ' ' I didn ' t know you were coming. ' ' Oh! said Jack. He uncrossed his legs, and then recrossed them. She sat stiffly upright and continued her defiant stare. ' ' What put you out of your usual mood ? he asked finally. I learned that I passed in Browning. Well, now, that ' s surprising. She glared across at Jack. He looked back into her eyes with a half smile. Finally he got up and walked over and stood by her side. Say, Dot he began. Don ' t call me Dot. She flounced up, and walked defiantly across the room and sat down on the divan which Jack has just left. Hello! You ' re a little worse than usual to-day, I see. He turned his back on her and began to study diligently the photographs around the walls of the room. You know I don ' t like to lie called Dot, she said after a silence of several minutes in which it seemed that Jack was learning the pictures by heart. Oh! you don ' t, he said indifferently. No, I don ' t. 1 86 He continued his way around the room, his hands in his trousers ' pockets and his eyes fixed on the photographs. Suddenly his knees struck something. He looked down in seeming surprise, and saw that he had run into the divan. He dropped into the unoccupied end of it. She drew herself up stiffly in her corner. Well, Dorothy, then, he said, turning and looking at her. I guess I ' ll call some of the girls down, she said. ' ' Do, ' ' said Jack. She did not move. Jack slipped over nearer and seized the hand that was lying at her side next to him. Dorothy, he said, leaning towards her, won ' t you- No, I won ' t, she said, jumping up and struggling to free herself. You ought to know me well enough not to ask for such a thing. ' ' Well, if you won t, I ' ll have If you don ' t behave yourself, I ' ll call the girls. Do, he said. I would for half a cent, she answered. ' ' Once for all, Dorothy, will you ? ' ' No, I won ' t, she said defiantly. Very well, then. Suddenly there was a struggle. Ugh! Ugh! Stop! came in muffled tones from Dorothy. And then louder after she had freed herself, That ' s what I call mean, Jack Horton, to take advantage of me like that. You know I couldn ' t help myself, she added angrily, as she vigorously rubbed her mouth with her handkerchief. She glared up at the imperturbable Jack. I despise you, she broke out. ' ' I couldn ' t help it. You know I love you, Dot, ' ' he said soothingly. So you ' ve told me a dozen times before. But I don ' t believe you. Just then a step sounded without. There comes somebody. And look at my hair! she exclaimed, catching a glimpse of herself in a mirror on the opposite wall. Go! I don ' t want to be seen in here with you with my hair looking like this. I ' m not ready to go yet, Jack answered, coolly. I ' ll go myself, then. With her eyes flashing she started towards the door. 187 : I had intended going anyhow. ' ' He picked up Oh, I ' ll go, he said, his hat, gloves and cane. Good-bye, he said, offering her his hand. She ignored it. Go! she exclaimed, stamping her foot. Before she could move he kissed her. But he was not quite quick enough, for as he raised up she slapped him. I detest you, she repeated as he went out. Jack passed the housemaid in the hall and went into the street half angrily. When he had gone about a half block, he stopped suddenly. He heard someone singing. Though the music was so faint he could scarcely hear it, he recognized the voice of Dorothy. I always sing when he recalled. He stood still an instant. And then he turned around and walked back. knocked at the door. As Dorothy look of relief came over her face. A minute later he opened it and saw him, But it was gone at once. Oh! it ' sonlv you, she said, I thought you had gone. I had, he said, walking uninvited into the room, but I came back. She closed the door and took her stand in the middle of the floor, where she remained, stiffly erect, staring at Jack, who had coolly seated himself again on the divan. I ' d like to know what you came back for. I thought I was rid of you for this afternoon. Well, I knew you wanted me, so I thought I had better come. Want you! She looked speechless. He punched the nose of the dog in the rug with his cane. She glanced at him with a question mark in her eye. You were singing, he said. ' ' What of that ? That ' s my privilege. ' ' And a few minutes ago you said that you always sang when anything pleased Well? Well, I saw I did not displease you. She sniffed the air. I suppose it never entered your head that you ' d just left. then. At this Jack punched the nose of the tapestried dog no more. Oh! that ' s the way of it, is it? He picked up his hat. His hand was on the doorduiob. Jack! I i;uess I ' ll go He turned around. She looked as though she ' hardly knew what to say. Well ? he inquired. You ' re a simpleton, she said at length. He opened the door and started out. Jack! The door was closing. If you ' ll come back, I ' ll I ' ll what? came through the lessening crack. I ' ll I ' ll sing, said Dorothy. And Jack stepped inside and closed the door behind him. — Lekoy M. Scott. 189 Hrbutus Etched on the leaden, wind-swept clouds of March, The naked boughs still brave the wintry blast. Leaf-hidden, safe beyond the frost ' s keen search, Still sleep the flowers Spring shall wake at last. But thou, Arbutus, frailest of thy kind, Even now on snow-flecked hill, and in the glen, Thy pale, sweet blossoms shiver in the wind, Tinged with the flush of skies beyond our ken. And we, who now perforce life ' s burdens bear — Travelers who climb a dim-lit, rock-strewn way, Groping with out-stretched hands to win the day — Ah, may we feel, though thick the night hangs now, Some glow of Faith yet lights each eager brow; Gleam of Hope ' s dawn, that reddens other-where. ? $■? ? lpmbltc Speafcino ffl| NDIANA l T niversity has demonstrated this year that she can present a successful 13 debating team. In the debate that occurred at Indianapolis, March 5, 1897, the BB debaters, Messrs. C. M. Lawrence, O. L. Reid, and F. B. Sinclair, were accorded a unanimous verdict of success by a notable set of judges. The opposing team of the University of Indianapolis had many meritorious points, but the case against compul- sory arbitration on interstate railroads, as it was presented by our debaters, would not have been easily overthrown by any team of college debaters. Our debaters showed thorough study, the arrangement of their material was systematic, the adaption of their arguments was skillful, their manner of presentation was forceful and convincing. The aroused interest here in public speaking was manifested the first term of the year, when eleven manuscripts were submitted in the local primary oratorical contest, and six- teen speakers took part in the preliminary debate. The results of the year ' s work are certainly satisfactory. At the State oratorical contest, held at Indianapolis, our representa- tive, Mr. C. E. Endicott, though having a very brief time to prepare and practice, obtained the highest grade on manuscript, and took a creditable place in the final result. The excellent material of the debating team improved to the full the period of three months ' preparation, and won a well-deserved success. With more good material available, and more interest shown than ever before, the future success of public speaking and inter- collegiate contests at Indiana University ought not to be in doubt.

This Association is composed of students and members of the faculty, and is incorporated under the laws of the State. Tbe control of the Association is vested in a board of directors, chosen annually. The Student was originally a weekly publication, but it was found impossible in a single issue to cover the news of interest to the University at large and to do full justice to the literary work. The board of directors, chosen at the annual meeting in 189( , decided to remedy this defect by the issue of a monthly edition devoted to productions of a literary nature, and a semi-weekly edition devoted to University news, each publication having a separate board of editors. The success of this plan has been pronounced. The monthly has contained work of exceptionally high character, while the semi-weekly has been a bright and original news sheet. The Student has won for itself an enviable position among college and university publications. Fair to all shades of opinion, courageous in its treatment of university affairs, but avoiding any exhibition of partisanship, the management has pursued a firm and conservative course and lias earned the respect and confidence of the faculty and student body. + Boaro of Eoitors Leroy M.

Many times he had known what it was to go hungry to bed and to feel the stinging cold in winter. However the fates were kind and better prospects were soon to unfold before him. A happy lover was coming down the street and, as he turned the corner, his eyes lighted up at sight of the little negro. Come here, my boy, he said, would you like to carry up wood for the sweetest girl in college ? ' ' The little black eyes danced and the kink} ' locks clung closer as their owner executed a double shuffle of. assent. Well, then come to my room to-morrow for the address and I will pay you fifteen cents a week as long as you work. As the happy lover turned the corner again, he looked satisfied with all the world as he said to himself, Crone, old boy, that may seem extravagant, but that girl is worth fifteen cents a week to any man. n i v larv Dock; Oh, Cupid ' s wand !

Law SrouKNi ' ti LoukiaU fuu Cases at Chapel Period 226 MISCELLANEOUS After Theta ' s Initiation H Senior Class flfteeting Z knew of ' 97. HERE have been many senior class meetings the present college year. All have been announced, some have been talked about, and a few have been attended. The meeting on Friday, November 23, 1896, falls under the three categories. It had been announced in tones as clear and distinct as the trumpet ' s call. It had been talked about with a fervor and enthusiasm that imits. It was attended by a multitude of men and maidens of the class What was it that tore these stalwart men and gentle maidens away from books and laboratories and brought them flocking into Dr. Bryan ' s room on the aforesaid Friday afternoon ? A momentous question was to be decided; the genius of the senior class was to be put to a severe test. The question was embodied in the resolution : Resolved, That the senior class adopt the cap and gown. Immediately following the announcement of this question, a neatly-dressed, curly-haired individual jumped to his feet, hastily adjusted his eye-glasses, and in a queru- lous tone: Mis. President, Ladies and Gentlemen— It would seem from the enthusiasm with which this question lias just been received, that any argument in its favor is entirely unnecessary. I wish, however, to say that I heartily favor the adoption of the cap and gown. The senior classes of all universities, both in and outside of the State are adopting them. The loading colleges in the east have been wearing them for some time. Indiana University has been called backnumber and sleepy head by sister universities which she easily outranks. Let us, as members of the senior class of ' 97, show that these charges are unfounded. In concluding his remarks, the speaker referred to the economic side of the question. He said: ' ' Now the matter of expense is an important consideration. The cap and gown will cost only a few dollars. Why, exclaimed he, in a burst of enthusiasm, it will save the cost of a forty-dollar suit of clothes! That depends on your tailor, retorted Mr. Pinkerton. I don ' t pay forty dollars for a suit of clothes. I can graduate in a much less expensive suit and be perfectly satisfied. The ripple of merriment which had greeted Mr. Pinkerton ' s words had scarcely died away when a meek but dignified little gentleman arose. a Fortv-Dolla Mr. Chairman, Ladies and Gentlemen— Since those in favor of gowns have offered no arguments here, I must notice their arguments made heretofore upon the campus and on the streets. They say they must have caps and gowns to enable people to distinguish them from Freshmen. I say that those habiliments would not enable even a farmer to identify a Senior. Shortly after Com- mencement last year, near a fakir on a corner, stood a Senior in his cap of distinction and sable garment of dignity. Hard by stood two farmers, gazing intently at said Senior and saying to each other, What in the thunder is it, anyhow? They say, We must have caps and gowns to make us look behalf of charge. Fellow Seniors, can ' t be done. They argue economy. I accept the argument. My better-half is about my size. She might find use for the garment. But what will my poor, unfortu- nate, single brethren do with theirs? They tell us that colleges that have adopted the cap and garment will laugh at us; will call us back-number ' ' if we do not adopt them. I have heard dudes call sensible, respectably dressed men hay-seed. This was not a reflection upon the man, but a sad reminder of the kind of stuff that makes a dude. But, now, to be more serious. I am reminded that the adop- tion of gowns will obviate the need of getting forty-dollar suits, and, likewise, make us look dignified. Do I understand from your argument that this University will not consider a Senior in a twenty-dollar suit as worthy, manly and respectable as one in a forty-dollar suit? Do I understand from your argument that the dignity of a man lurks in his clothing? Am I to understand that clothing makes character? A gown may cover a multitude of sins, but dignity needs no such garment. Sensible people of the world are usually able to classify Seniors of colleges, and are prone to poke fun at them. Why? Because too many Seniors seek, by some such mark as cap and gown, to classify them- selves as a species distinct from ordinary, sensible people; thus they bring merited ridicule upon themselves. Why should Seniors fear to be mistaken for Freshmen? We have all seen Seniors who might act with more sense and dignity by following in the footsteps of some sturdy Freshmen. Seniors, the sooner we lay aside our flippancy and foolishness, the sooner will we be permitted to take our proper rank among people of good, hard sense in our respective communities. Mr. President, this class may decide to wear gowns. If it does, I shall prepare for the ordeal on Com- mencement Day. I shall secure the right of way and avoid the public by cutting across the commons from my house to the back door of the Chapel, that I may enter in the sorrow and seclusion befitting my sable habiliments. Mr. F. I. King added his word of objection. He ridiculed those members of an enlightened class who wished to ape the fashions of eastern institutions. Mr. King was in favor of doing the sensible thing regardless of any style or custom adopted by any other university. ' Cutting Across the Commons. ' The applause that followed this speech was deafening but brief. For the first time it was noticed that Mr. King wore a new brown suit cut in the latest fashion. After a moment ' s reflection on the frailty of man, the class turned its attention to the remarks of one of its youthful members. I heartily favor the motion. If we adopt the cap and gown every one will know a Senior when he meets him. There will be no danger then of a Senior ' s being taken for a Freshman. And a Senior don ' t want to be taken for a Freshman ! Let us wear the eap and gown ! At the close of this eloquent plea, a thin, spectacled individual arose and, with arms akimbo, addressed the President. Towering above his fellow Seniors, on whom he bent a look of deep compassion, he began this earnest appeal: I do not rise to offer extended arguments against this obnoxious measure. A due regard for the rights of a majority forbids such a step. Moreover, much speech making finds no great lesson of encouragement in the evil fortunes of these days. The silver-tongued orator has won for himself a golden silence, and the result of a recent national event has sealed with tons of idle bullion the tomb of eloquence. The eternal question as to whether the length and breadth of a man shall have weight in determining the kind of clothing he shall wear, thus far has been barred from this debate, and therefore needs no advocate. Nor do I wish to antagonize opinions. But that some one should fail to notice the flimsy excuses offered by the steering committee on circus regalia, would be to commit a flagrant injustice to the honest sentiment of a strong minority. We are told that an organized body has no authority to levy a mere pittance upon absent members for a legitimate purpose. Yet in the same breath the gentlemen propose a measure that will intentionally at least bind soul and body every member of the Senior class with silken fetters. Do you call this either horse sense or sound logic? No ! Again we are informed that the members of Indiana University are called sleepy heads by the students of other colleges in the State; and that in the adoption of ' ' caps and gowns lies the only effective remedy against this odious complaint. That there are alarming evidences of somnial derangement in the treatment proposed, I leave you to judge for yourselves. What, if on commence- ment day, when the Seniors shall appear on the rostrum clothed in their dusky night robes of antiquity, a responsive audience should break forth in a lullaby of enchanting sweetness, the shining faces of the Seniors sink beneath the swarthy folds of their university pride like a flock of full orbed moons into an inky sea, and their enraptured souls should pass from a state of bliss into ignominious slumber? W ho can measure the extent of such a calamity? Would you convert our halls of learning into a museum of sleeping beauties and make our fair city the prey of idle pilgrimage. It is urged with ominous voice, furthermore, that to refuse to adopt this me wards along the line of educational progress. But, fellow Seniors, I am sorely troubled to know, should it prevail, how I am to take a step in any direction. However, as I struggle forth in my bottomless cocoon, I may by chance capture some wayward zephyr, and shall then, no doubt, be able to suggest something new in modes of locomotion. ' Dont want to be taken for a sure is to take a step back- Lastly, Mr. President, we are told that a gown is a tiling of beauty ; that it will make us beautiful. Were the human form less shapely than the scraggy outlines of a big bass-riddle, one might still grudgingly concede the force of such argument. The beauty of a living presence lies not in the nimble touches of a cunning seam- stress. The man must adorn his clothes; not the clothing, the man. How charming would one of these somber bags appear without a live Senior in it. Look upon it as it hangs in some attic a brief summer hence. Sec it there impaled upon a rusty hook, begrimed, limp and formless, a cheerless den for moths and spiders to gambol in. That the mere donning of caps and gowns can not bring to all Seniors the charm of beauty is an established fact already. Has not a fellow member openly avowed the utter hopelessness of such a dream in his own ease. And I assert with confidence that the stature of this fearless gentleman is no adequate measure of his deep sincerity in this matter. Only a close friend can appreciate the turbulent state of his mind as be pictures himself in that procession, swathed in the cerements of a defunct pride, and plodding along like an animated plume that had just clambered down from some passing hearse. Alas ! Mr. President, that I should ever behold so many gallant men of war rigged out in the sails of the weaker vessels. But, should this measure receive a majority vote, I will accept the inevitable with the best grace possible in order that peace and harmony may prevail, and the spirit of progress may not vanish from the face of the earth. This speech was so convincing to the minority that N. C. Johnson, now confident of victory, contented him- self by quoting Dr. Jordan : The whole ceremonial of commencement belongs to the babyhood of education. This was too much. Those who favored the cap and gown demanded an immediate vote. Much to their sur- prise and delight, when the votes were counted, the cap and gown had won. Such an astonishing result may be explained in part by the fact that the ladies, who might have made more speeches — but did not — were practically unanimous for the somber garment. The feminine portion of the class had indeed prepared carefully thought out speeches, fully intending to deliver them, but the unanswerable argu- tiie sails of the weaker vessels. ments of the opposition were so disconcerting that all utterance was lost in the silence of admiration. Later, amid the noise and confusion of adjournment, a young lady exclaimed, with a of relief: Well, I ' m awfully glad that passed! The boys will look so cute in caps, and those ns are always dressy. And — they ' ll all wear them. ' ' Thev say the women are always right. sigh gow 232 Stuoents of art Artistic taste has shown itself Among the fair co-eds, Who decorate both wall and shelf With signs and poster-heads.

Does he not know there is nothing new under the sun? Well, I ' m going to the door and and observe the first thing that draws my attention. Hello there, Curly! You pup, what are you whining for ? Oh, I see ! Your little master has fastened you up and left you. His absence has awakened the idea of loneliness and it, besides arousing its own impulse, awakens other ideas and other impulses. That is the reason why you are whining, scratching, and trying to break loose. Now, let me see if I can awaken another idea and its train of impulses. There ! I have untied you. You stand stock still ! That ' s queer. I wonder if you are awaiting a psycho-physiological sensation ? Do you expect it to come through your eyes, or your ears, or your nose ? What have you shot off in that direction for ? Oh, I see ! Your nose was pointed straight ahead of you, but the peripheral portions of your retinae were so sensitive to motion that you saw that move- ment way over to one side of you. The movement was made by a cat, and when you saw that cat you could no more help running at it than you can help breathing. The object ' cat ' immediately sent a sensation to your brain, and the idea aroused by that sensation awakened the impulse ' chase. ' Now, when the cat saw you, her first impulse was to run, but she didn ' t have time to turn her back and get out of the way, so her next impulse was to stand still and scratch if she was molested. 234 ' ' There you are, facing each other. Your noses are lowered close to the ground and exactly pointed to each other. Your backs are bowed, your bellies high arched, your tails curved and thrashing from side to side. Well, why doesn ' t one or the other of you make a move? You are gazing straight into each other ' s eyes! Can it be possible you have forgotten you are standing there, and have become lost in the contemplation of the changes you see occurring in the iris ? ' ' Still you haven ' t moved ! Dog ! Are you trying to hypnotize that cat ? Are you attempting to make her lethargic, somnambulistic, or cataleptic? Have you a neurosis theory you wish to confirm or are you trying to prove the power of telepathic suggestion ? You are standing there yet ! Can it be you are fixating on that cat ' s nose and are trying to make yourself believe you have two cats at bay because you see v her tail double ? Oh, dog ! dog ! Are you trying to determine whether you believe in the identity theory, or are you striving to prove the projection of images along the lines of visible direction ? Oh, would that I had the genius of a Roentgen ! I would invent a machine that would mirror the subjective processes of your brain and make known to me why you are still facing that cat. A. W. C. 2 5 Crossing the Jordan 236 Chronicles And it came to pass, that after the year was somewhat advanced and the time had come when youths go out to see the fair daughters of the land, Behold! the second and the third of the Frenchites went into the land of the Zeisites and the Kolbites; And, behold, the fair daughters of the land said unto the Frenchites, ' ' Let us send hither for taft ' y, that we ma} ' eat and be exceeding merry. ' ' And the taffy was brought and the Kolbites and the Zeisites said unto the Frenchites, Stretch now the taffy. And lo! they stretched it for the space of an hour, until it was white as wool. And while they devoured the taffy, behold! the second of the Frenchites said unto Mary, the Kolbite: If I shouldst play upon the wall with my fingers, wouldst thou know what I playest? And Mary, the Kolbite, answered and said unto the second of the Frenchites, Yea, verily, I would know what thou playest. And behold! the third of the Frenchites lifted up his eyes in astonishment at these words, and his usually unruffled spirit waxed warm within him to test the fair maiden ' s understanding. Therefore, gathering his mantle about him, he arose from the seat whereon he sat and betook himself to the wall and played a tune. And when he had finished, behold, the second of the Frenchites saith unto Mary, the Kolbite, Knowest thou what the Frenchite hath played? A nd Mary, the Kolbite, answered and said unto the second of the Frenchites, lean not tell. Dost thou know? And the second of the Frenchites said unto Mary, the Kolbite, Yea, verily, I know. Then Mary, the Kolbite, commanded the third of the Frenchites that he play yet again. And the third of the Frenchites, much pleased at Mary, the Kolbite, commanded, and he played yet again. Then Mary, the Kolbite, said unto the third of the Frenchites, The thing that thou playest is not familiar to me. But the third of the Frenchites an- swered and said unto Mary, the Kolbite, The thing is familiar unto thee. Then Mary, the Kolbite, commanded the third of the Frenchites to play yet again. And he played again, even to seven times. Then Mary, the Kolbite, quickly an- swered and said unto the third of the Frenchites, Yea, verily, now I know what thou playest, and I marvel that I knew not before. Behold ! thou playest the fool. Voting Proxies — Co-or. Election 238 dFat IRino anb tbe IDollat N the rainy season late last summer ' an audacious crawfish burrowed a hole close up by the side of the veranda of the Beta headquarters. Some of the boys had noticed this hole, and some had not. Fat King had not. One afternoon, soon after college opened, Fat took a stroll on the veranda, in the balmy autumn breeze. While visions of bril- liant football victories were passing before his mind, he playfully drew from his pocket a bright silver dollar and began to toss and to catch it. He continued to play with the precious coin several minutes, as he walked back and forth across the veranda. Moved at length by some sudden impulse, he tossed the dollar higher than before. It struck the ceiling with a ring and glanced to one side. Fat made a grand football plunge to catch it, but it nimbly leaped between his fiDgers and plumped squarely into the crawfish hole and immediately disappeared. The above is a faithful narration of the facts of the occurrence as obtained from an eye-witness. This story of Mr. King ' s unhappy experience gradually leaked out. It came to the ears of some students in English VII, who saw in it materials which could be easily worked up into a theme. The opportunity thus offered was not allowed to pass. They selected the chief facts of the story, and, in true Wordsworthian spirit, threw upon them an imaginative light. One student treated the subject as follows and handed it to his Professor. Last Thursday afternoon Fat King went out on his veranda to take the air. He had not been there long before he drew from his poeket a silver dollar, which he began to toss and catch. About this time a small boy, who had been fish- ing in the Jordan River, came up the street on the other side. He carried a fishing-pole, but no fish. He saw Fat playing with the dollar and wished he had one. Just as the boy came opposite the house, Fat made a bad catch. The dollar slipped through his hands, struck the side of the veranda, bounced off , and fell into a crawfish hole near by. 239 This unexpected termination of his sport sadly distressed Fat. He could not afford to lose that dollar. He must recover it if possi- ble, even should he have to dig for it. But he didn ' t wish to dig it out, for that would be hard work. The small boy, seeing Fat ' s perplexity, rushed across the street. He took in the situation at a glance and offered his services. Say, mister, said he, let me git it fer you. Oh, get out of the way, you little idiot! You can ' t get it. Yes, I kin. I ' ll git it fer you fer haf. Let me try it. Fat, being unable to devise another way of recovering his dollar, at last gave a reluctant assent to the boy ' s request. Well, you may try it: but I ' d like to know how you arc- going to get it. The boy unfastened his line and dropped the hook into the hole. In half a minute he pulled up the line, with the crawfish holding onto the hook with one pincher and the dollar with the other. ■j|fi£-.- £ football Sons Hark, oh students! while I tell you How we won renown.

XTbe IRevertes of a jfresbman TELL you what, a fellow ought to go to college six mouths anyway. It takes the conceit out i if him. At home I get invitations all over 11 the county. I always have somewhere to go. There arc two girls down there that I just love, and they think the world of me. I go over there and say ' Let ' s have some fun, ' and we do. They are just as pretty as any girls are. Why, no other fellow can come and see them until they ask me first. The other fellows don ' t know it though. I ' m just like a brother to ' em. I wouldn ' t be afraid to ask them to sew my coat up, if it had a hole in it. You see that ' s the way it is. Now when I come here it ' s different. The girls don ' t know a fellow, and they don ' t want to, either. If you tell ' em anything they say you ' re ' jollying. ' I get discouraged, and haven ' t got the courage to get up a ' case. ' They know they can run tilings, and so they laugh at a fellow. Sometimes I want to be back home again and have a good time. It makes me sad to think about it. When I think about some things back home, it makes me want to be there. Country gilds are as pretty as city girls. I knew a country gild last summer that just loved me. She was pretty and her father was rich. They lived in a big brick house and had a big red barn. Just across from the house were little knolls, and down in between two of them w r as a fish pond. I used 243 to go over there every afternoon and sit on the bank with her and fish. I ' d stay until supper time. I remem- ber one evening we went down there and fed the fishes together. We gave ' em bread. You know how fishes do, don ' t you? Web, we sat there under an old willow tree and watched the fish jump up. The moon was shining and we could hear an old woman singing, and I was happy. A boy came over the fence with a pole and was going to fish, but the girl told him he couldn ' t, and there I was sitting beside her, and she liked me and I liked her. Now when I think of it I get melancholy. To recall such times makes me sad. 1 flfcajov Subjects Rodecker - - - Minor Maud Showers - Love Barber - - - - Himself Schultz - - - - Whiskered puns Newman - - - - The girls La Yal - - - - Cigarettes Freshman - - - Common branches ' Dailey - - - - No hits Cook Politics Endicott - - - Oratory Halstead - - - The Short Story ffirst ttfotng ' Xoofceo ffor b$ Glee Club Rodecker - - - Post-office Heyn Belle of the town Hunter - - - - His friends Mahan - - - - The best hotel Bettcher - - - Barber shop Hn Extra Scene in Sbe Stoops to Conquer Sampson — I think, Mr. Hastings, you had better put your arm around Miss Neville as you make this speech to her.

And These DePauwites Talk About Playing Football! Listen to This Tale of Woe. One of the liveliest games of football ever seen was that played here Saturday between I. U. and DePauw. Ourclub lias now defeated Butler, Wabash, Cincinnati and DePauw— the last by a score of 12 to 0. Rain had fallen all day. till at 2:30 the ground at the park was abed of mud three to nine inches in depth. But to the game: DePauw won the toss. Sparks kicked three yards offEagleson, and Youstler rolled a wedge at Hunt, who fumbled a touchdown to Beardsley, on goal. DePauw kicked Binford and Hunt the line, and with offside play, fumbling his quarterback and peeling his suoot : Roller was struck on the punt and got the ball on a fumble : Eagleson punted to Roller, and King fell on the ball and bit oft ' three of DePauw ' s ears. The wedge revolved and the pig ' s skin was taken oft ' clean, leaving DePauw with nothing between it and the cold, cold world but blood. Now the play came fast and furious. Roller kicked King ' s fumble, and Polk went ten yards losing an arm; Hunt ran around the wood- house and ripped oft ' thirty-five yards of weather- boarding. Roller had three legs torn loose ami Walker took his place. A quarterback fumbled, got the bal], and .the goal was thrown through the punt, falling kersplasli in the mud. Sheet hit the line, broke it. and King tied the ends together. Two gains, two downs and three goals followed, Endieott tearing an awful hole in his punt. Indiana, fragi- pani. maryana, hokey pokey— kahzoo ! — [From the Bloomington Republican Progress, November 25, IS96. BEATEN BY RABBITS Time was and the glory of the Wabash College football team. Its present glory couldn ' t disturb a howling vacuum of a cubic inch calibre. The team has been reprehensibly tacky all the season and on Friday hist when the faculty flatly refused to allow two of the star players to go to Bloomington to take part in the game with I. U. the team should have disbanded. Did it do it ' . ' Not on your life. That free ride of seventy-three miles on the covered ears was too great a temptation, so these young men who knew about as much concerning the game of foot- ball as a Brown county jay knows of etiquette at a live o ' clock tea. were drafted to fill up the ranks. These young men, while willing to die, didn ' t know a signal from a selection from the Book of Ruth, and when a mass play through the center would be called, they invariably siezed some opposition youths by their chrysanthemum hair and started around the left end. These opportunities were rare, how- ever, for I. C. had the ball about nine-tenths of the time and piled up the figures to her score as though endeavoring to rival the Republican majority in Pennsylvania. Finally the Wabash team remarked that as the shades of night were falling fast it wouldn ' t bea bad thing to divide up the gate money and quit. The I. U. people thought so too, so it was done. The score stood 3S to in favor ol I. I . and. as it «as her first victory over Wabash in the history of football, her students felt as gay as a job lot of bobolinks, and attested their entire satisfaction and j-june joy by throwing stones at the McKinley and Bryan pictures which adorned the windows on the way up town, whither they proceeded yelling lustily and bravely— Hippity-huss ! Hippity-huss ! Wabash kids are a snap for us: We eat them rare. And spit out their hair Which we work into wigs for our co-eds fair. It was a gala night in Bloomington and a liberal merchant donated two piano boxes to lie burned in honor of the victory, while all the saloons sold beer at the same old price.— [From the Crawjordsville Journal, , 1S96. 26l  • favorite....

Professor G. — Oh, well, there are several ways to pronounce it; Eenais ' sance, Renaissance, and — De E. — Professor G , there ' s a new way of spelling that word now ; it ' s spelled R-e-n-n-a-s-s-a-n-c-e. It comes into the English language as a direct Latin derivative, and we also have it from the French. Its literal meaning, Pro fessor, is to be born again. In its present significance, however, it means a renewal; hence, a style of decorative art freer than the antique, but resulting therefrom, revived by Raphael, in the pontificate of Leo X, as the result of the exhuming of certain ancient paintings. jfacnlt Committees Absence Swain Advanced Degrees Bordner Andrews Bowi.es Foreign Relations France Morris, Mosemiller Germany - - Lyons, Davis, Peirce Boston - - - Brooks Cincinnati - N.

The- Medical College of Indiana DEPARTMENT Or MEDICINE Or THE UNIVERSITY Or INDIANAPOLIS This institution has just completed its twenty-seventh annual session, Commencement occurring April i, 1897. The year just passed has been, all things considered, the most prosperous and satisfactory in the history of the College. In general interest and the attention paid to instruction on the part of teachers and students alike, it excels any past session. Continued experience shows the fitness of the new building occupied for the past two sessions, on the c orner of Market street and Senate avenue, north, and its adaption to the constantly increasing requirements of advanced education. There were in attendance, during the last session, graduates from nearly every literary and normal school in the State. In the future, as heretofore, students completing pre-medical courses in the various colleges will be granted advanced standing according to the rules of the Association cf American Medical Colleges. Women are admitted to this school on the same terms as men, and their attendance will be rendered as pleasant as possible. Notwithstanding the establishment of a compulsory four years ' course, and the prevailing financial stringency, the attendance for the past year did not fall below the usual standard. This is regarded as very encourag- ing, and it is believed that.with the improvement now taking place in the business of the country, the class will continue to increase in the same ratio as has been shown heretofore. The twenty-eighth session will begin on the 28th of September, 1897. The new catalogues will be issued about June 1st.
