innitaiatssza LUX ET ERITAS A F U X D A T I X D A ' P E M When first those sturdy pioneers Gave back this forest to the state They planned the pride of future years Whose birth, to-day, we celebrate. Upon these hills beside this stream The flower of Indiana ' s youth First realized their father ' s dream. And saw the dawn of Li,t,dit and Truth. Those fathers little thought the hall They builded then would ever grow To teach and prove that, after all, To live is really but to know. They little knew, when tliey had wrought, Their children ' s children e ' er should see The time when every honest thought Proclaims The Truth shall make vou free! And yet their hopes that men would live To see their motto used and taught Deserve all tribute we can give To those brave champions of thought. They had a faith in fellow-men; They knew that only in the mind Would live the hopes they cherished then- The brotherhood of humankind. May every good our fatiiers wrought Bear rich reward from year to year; May men forever heed tiie thought, The motto, they established here. Shine on, O Light! Forever be A beacon to the nati(jn ' s youth; A guide to all that makes us free; A symbol of eternal Truth. Live on, O I ' ruth, till time has gone! And teach us all to know and love Thy light that leads us ever on To that diviner Light above. — Earl Hudelsox. HHBL

IDL GEOLOGY liV F L O - D M A c C; R I GEOLOGY is one of the great endurance tests in the curriculum. A student who has made one year ' s credit in geology can go nine days without water, sleep with snakes in his bed, or speak pleasantly to his best girl when she is wast- ing her time walking about the campus with some animated clothes model. Some students sign up in geology to qualify for graduation by having a suf- ficient quota of credits in science. After the cred- its are made a student feels as if he could qualify for anything from memorizing an unabridged dic- tionary to clipping nine seconds off the transconti- nental walking record. Li order to be a good geology student one should have an affable dispo- sition toward prehistoric life, a battered suit of clothes, an unfaltering set of legs, and an inter- minable railroad ticket. The ticket is for use in case of a punctured foot. The most succulent por- tions of the geology student ' s joy are served on Sat- urdays in the nature of field hikes. A field trip is a tour of investigation, conducted on foot, of the various rock formations located in neighboring states. The leader of a geology excursion strikes boldly across the campus into the distant horizon. That gives you some idea of his speed. All along his trail are scattered the geology students. At various inspection points tiie leader pauses long enough for the nearest student to catch up with him and then he explains things. Most of the ex- cursion class is in the distant rear helping the girls over the fences and rivers and fervently praying for second wind. The nearest student and the man with the kodak always make good grades. This is about the regular procedure of a geology hike. The students and the prof are generally to- gether at the starting place and the lunch period, the students contenting themselves at other times with the faint image of their instructor disappear- ing over the summit of some distant hill. At the noon-hour the students catch up with their heart- beats, take a caressing inventory of their injured anatomies, and speculate upon the distance to the nearest railroad station. After enough time has elapsed for the students to get nicely stififened up, the leader marshals the forces and without the slightest sign of fatigue, leads them nine miles out of the way home to show them a hillock similar to the one shown on page 614 in the textbook. Ar- riving at familiar scenes again, the indefatigable nearest student gets himself ready for a dance, with the assistance of four roommates, while the rest of the class go to bed and sleep past their Monday morning eight o ' clocks.

Dl€ JOHNNY f Against It WHICH would you rather be: very, very intelligent or able to raise beautiful, delicious, young onions? Surely, that was a hard question for a small bov to answer by himself without any help from his father or mother or brothers or sisters or aunts. But Johnny had just that e]uestion to answer. It was up to him, as they say in slang circles. He could not ignore the (juestion, and it was far from him to laugh at it and consider it absurd, as older folks would have done, ' du can not laugh at things in this world. Even the funny weekly is a serious matter when you get down to the meta- physics of it. Somehow Johnny was young enough to realize all this. I guess childhood is a good time because ciiildren take everything seriously and enjoy it instead of trying to sepa- rate their serious moments and their joy moments like grown- ups. So Johnny honestly and truly was up against it. Which would you rather be: very, very intelligent or able to raise beautiful, delicious, young onions? The way of it was this. Johnny Jenkweltner, to be short about it, had one of those wizard god-mammas who figure in fairy talcs and other useless literature. This is not a fairy yarn, however, so if you have whiskers as long as the finale of a comic opera, do not feel that you have to chuck this and scoot the red and yellow books over on the shelf in the nursery li- brary to make room for it. Really, Johnny ' s god-mamma was not what you would call a regular god-mamma. She had dif- ferent methods. She worked in a sensible manner. She did not say Hocus pocus and bring certain things to pass. This, rather, was Johnny Jenkweltner ' s wizard god-mamma ' s course of wonder working: she asked Johnny what he wanted or [■■■ii-i AF '
