On her ninetieth hirth- dav, ilarvville Collejie looks baek njion a lilorions youth. Of her numbers and strength the early days l)rin.e lint indefinite reports. We know that they were davs of hardship, and, so far as nnnd)ei-s are eoneerned, of small thin . Of her achievements, however, the reports have no nneertain sound. They were achievements glorions in the cause of Christ and His church, when Dr. Isaac Anderson and his faithful codaborers sent out scores of young men into the gospel ministry. These were the days fmm 1819 to 1801. When the College reopened in 1866, it had but one instructor and thirteen students; and even twenty years later, there were only seventeen instructors and four hundred students. During all of these years the growth in develop- ment and endowment represented only about two hundred and fifty thousand dollars. Now ninety years old, Maryville has thirty-two professors and teachers, (i22 students, and an endowment of three-quarters of a million of dollars. Maryville ' s greatest advance along all lines has been during the eight years of Pi-esident Wilson ' s administration. During that time the enrollment of the College has nearly doubled, while that of the College Department has increased one htmdred and forty ]ier cent. The past vear has lieen i ne of exceptional develupment. The fm-ward fund, bringing $227, Mi(i additiimal endowment to the College, has made possible the Ralph Max Lamar Memorial Hosjiital, already in jirocess of construction; the Carnegie dormitory for young men, upon which the architect is now working: and a home for the Cooperative Club, to be begun within a few months. Other imjirovements, of even greater importance to the students, concern the development of the curricula. The preparatory course has been iiut upon a four-year basis and so strengthened that it will now prepare for any college or university in the country. Improvements in college courses, the addition of new courses, together with better facilities for teacher and student, will mean the greater gro- i h of the institution, more students, more teachers, and wider influence. At ninety years of age, Maryville is still young. The future is full of promise. ] Iuch of what Maryville is today is due to the imfailing self-sacrifice of her president, and the many generations yet to follow will feel the impress 17 of his personality and spirit. All his strength and devotion, that for twenty- five Years have been going into the heart of this living oak along with the life- blood of Dr. Anderson. Dr. Lamar, and other devoted professors, will add mightily to its development in years to come. When President Wilson retnrns from his vear ' s trip abroad, may the Almighty grant him another quarter of a century to see and to add to the growth and grandeur of greater ] Iaryville ! 18 Flower: Carnation Colors : Crimson and White OFFICERS B. 0.

Willi its fipr|uciit rejiel it ions, . nd ils wild revprhpnitions. As of thunder in the mountains; 1 should answer. I should tell yo i. I repeat them as I heard them From the lips of Doctor Wilson. He, the rarest of ten thousand. He. the wild-flower of the mountain. Sang them often in liis wanderinj s In the Uiugdom of the North Wind. Should you ask where Doi-lur Wilson V ' ound these songs so sweet and tpiuler, Found thp.se stories and traditions. 1 sliiiuM answer. I should tell you. .Ml tlir wild birds sang theiu to him. -Ml the liillsiclps gave the echo: Kor our fame has spread around us. And the world now looks upon us. I entreat ,vou. step and listen. Hear these tales of love and daring. Hear the.se tales of joy and gladness. Hear the echoes from the classroom. From the ball groiuid and the campus. From the gridiron and the diamond. Hear the ballads of the daring. From beneath yon lonely cedar Hear tlie low voice of the lover. Hear, I sav, tlipsp talps of triumph. Hear the legends and traditions Of the greatest of all classes Ever gone out from our College. In the hist ' ry of the College, Nineteen- five, among the autumns. Is most worthy of our mention. Then it was that Doctor Wilson. Standing on the rostrum yonder. Called the classes back to College. 31 But he heard a inif;hty rumbling; And the rumbling grew still louder. Till it shook the very cedars, Till the very windows rattled; And the steeple swaying, rocking. Set the great old bell to cliiniing; ' Twas the coming of tlie Freshmen. Horny Buck was chosen leader Of this band so wild and wayward; Wild and waj ' ward, rough and ready; But within each clumsy casket Was a diamond rich and brilliant, Onlj ' sleeping, waiting dormant, For the casket lid to open. Then it was we chose our colors — Chose the white and chose the crimson. Crimson tells of war and daring. Tells of fierce and hot debating. Filing locks and raising banners. And of class-fights long and bloody. But the white bespeaks of pureness, Kind and loving, noble-minded. Kind and loving to each other. Noble-minded to opponents. JNIany things did Horny teach ns — How to cross old V. T. ' s goal line, How to climb library steeples. How to hold our own in battle With the Bull and with the LyOn; How to show appreciation Of the Bible under Bassett, How McCIenahan and Mathes Knew so much and yet so little. And how Barnes could be so lazy. Be so wise and yet so lazy. All these things did Horny teach us Ere the first great year was ended. Three long months of happy ramliles Through the green irelds of the country, Through the commons of the city, Till we heard dear Doctor Wilson Calling to us from the distance, — Calling, Come, oh, come, my children, Back to College, for we need you — Need your brawn and need your spirit. 32 N ' ci ' il MJiii- Ipiiiwri ill nin ;il lilcl ics, Xr( ' l in o ' vervtiiiiifi voiir spiiit.

Unt a true and loyal leader. .Many things did we learn that year — How to win debates and races, How to file oft ' locks and carry Our fair colors to the steeple. And we learned to battle Freshmen In their vain atteiii]its to down ns. Learned to take their piy ' and loast it. (And we wish to thank tliciii for it. I Kilt the year, like all tliiiij;s earthly. Soon had passed and we were standing On the threshold of the summer. Then it was that custom voted That all dates be changed and altered. C ountiiig backward, counting forward. From the time when we were Soph ' mores. Three more months of happy summer. And the .Juniors came together. Came from mountain, moor, and fenland. Came from Indiana southward. From Louisiana nortliward. — Came the .Juniors back to College. But how grave and sober were they! How they talked of Cliem. and I ogic. And the first day on the campus Was a peace-day with the Sophies. For our leader. Ruth was chosen. — Ruth the fairest. Ruth the noble. She the sweet peace-tire then kindled. And the smoke rose slowly, slowly. Through the tranquil air of morning: First a single line of darkness. Then a denser, bluer vapor. Then a snow-white cloud unfolding. Ever rising, rising, rising, Till it touched the top of heaven. Then above, Ruth stretched her right hand To subdue our warlike natures, Then upon the ground the Juniors Threw their weapons and their war-gear; Washed tlie war-paint from their faces, Buried all tlieir warlike weapons, And decided that henceforward They would live at peace with others. And from that day ever forward They have stood for peace and justice. All the class-fights now forgotten. They began to give attention To the world ' s great social problems. To the interests of the College, To their sweethearts and their studies. Then it was that Bunch sought .Justice, And our Dutch, his little Sheddan; Even Nagle found his Armstrong. And we had some other cases. Such as Phillips and Miss Wilson; Such as Maness and her Campbell, And perhaps we liave some others. But our space forbids their mention ; Then it was we studied Logic, Studied Greek and studied Latin, Studied Chemistry and Bible, Studied all there was to study; And were noted for our learning. But, alas, old Time is fleeting. And the Junior year was finished. Put behind us in the bygone. In the sweet, remembered bygone; And before we knew it almost, Lo, the summer was upon us. Fleeting were those days of summer.

How Dean Waller and Miss Mollie Shuddered at the thought of jiarting With a class so tried and trusty! And they thought of vaeant i)laces — Vacant places, vacant always; For no other class could fill them. And most certainly the Juniors, With their shallow brains, could never Hope to fill such vacant places. But to study were we given. Writing many noble theses Which would tell, if you should read them, What the Class of Xineteen-Xine Means to Maryville, our College, Means to all the world around us As we go to bear its burdens. Burdendjearing is our life-work. And we go forth hoping, trusting. Trusting, hoping that the burdens May not be too heavy for us. Yes, we go forth working, trusting That some life may be uplifted, That the world may be made better, That God ' s sunshine may be brighter.

That fact is self-evident. Somewhere, every.where ; sometime, any time, we ]i ed and grew. Then began school days. Little red schoolhouses, town public schools, all sorts of schools were honored by oiir jjresence. At the head of our classes we stayed, in high schools and prep departments, until we came to Maryville to become the Class of ' 11, the best that ever graced College Hill. We Avere fifty -one. Quality and quantity were with us. Well did we live up to the Doctor ' s greeting. ' ' The best yet. ISTot only in classrooms did we uphold the standard we had set ourselves in prepdom, but in literary societies, in the Christian associations, and in athletics we took leading stands. This year our number is reduced to thirty. Some of our members have fainted bv the wav, and are be2;inning anew with the Class of 1912 : others have not returned to College. Several new members have been added to our class and are proving themselves worthy to wear the gold and Avhite. We furnished two men for the football team, and the co-ed basket-ball team was not com- plete without our representative. That class, mighty in its own estimation, the Class of ' [i, challenged us to battle with them on the gridiron. Our boys, as usual, held their own with the Freshies. The feast the girls prepared for them, in appreciation of their courage, will be remembered for many a day. So we go. United we ever press forward. Our past has been a success; what will our future l)e ' ( We have given our Alma Mater our best during our first two years Avith her. and we shall cimtinue to serve her in the same way until we leave her in 1911. 48 A Sophomore ' s Monologue YKS, Sir, a Co-ed ei)1lp£ e f i ' e evprv tinicl Lifr- is too dull for me without the girls around.

Jvot guilty, old man; only a little reverie. Had just slipped back a few months and was again enjoying the blow-out the girls gave ns; the one that folldwcd the inter-class football game. Hadn ' t heard of it St .p your kiddin . Well, well, T had forgot that you were not here last fall. Draw uj) your chair and I ' ll tell you how our o-irls cheered ns on to victoi ' - and showed their appreciation when the game was won. Yon see, the Rats had several times during the season challenged ns to meet them on the gridiron. We laughed them off at first, but finally the fellows decided that it would be fun to give them a go. Terms were agreed on and the date set for Xovendier .5. T think that was the date: yes, that ' s right, for the feast came the following night. N ovember 6 — I remend.ier that date well. The Freshies put out a right godd line-up. Ran their liuneh up and down the field every afternoon for a week or more, and had things working jn-etty ■well by the time the game was due. That afternoon at three we picked our men, donned our togs, went to the gridiron, tried out a time or two, and when the sig-nal was given, got in the game. Well, we thought the whole afi ' air a huge joke and didn ' t get loosened nii until the second half: then we drove in, equaled the small score the ' Rats had nmde, and were going for high stakes when the timekeeper blew the final. During the entire game the girls kept up a din, the like of which you never heard. They had new songs and yells galore: there wasn ' t a minute Init thev were urgino- us on. And as we retraced our steps to the Gym, their cheers and songs assured us that they were well pleased with the result. The next day we noticed that the girls were unusually busy. From the maimer in which shy glances were thrown our way the least, suspicious of us 49 could not biit feel that there was something doing. Early that afternoon, word was received from an nnknown source that we were to meet that night for some fun. Still rather ])nzzlcd as tn what might lie in store for us, we obeyed orders. When all had assembled in Tar Heel ' s ' room a box, large enough to hold two Merry Widow hats, was ])rodnced and in short order opened. The first thing we found vas a neat note bearing their congratulations and compliments. Then, — well say, if ever there was a surprised Inmch we were it. Those girls had fixed up the swellest box of feed that ever hit the Hill. Why, it would have done credit to Delmonico when he was at his best. We didn ' t stop for prelimiuaries — just lit in as if we were Ijack on the farm. I don ' t believe mother ' s chicken ever tasted better. Then there were the sandwiches, deviled eggs, salad, and cake that recalled the family board as nothing else can. Yes, to be sure, girl-like, they had jmt in an abundance of their best brand of fudge. After we had completely cleaned things up, we sat around and toasted our Sophomore Co-eds until the last flash id ' the lights. You don ' t blame a fellow for day-dreamin ' tmder such circinustances, do you ? A fellow can ' t help but recall the pleasures of that night and imagine him- self again toasting his fair classmates. 50 FRESHMAN Colors : Violet and White Yell : Boom-a-lacka. boom-a-lacka, bo •, wow. wow !

That it is the biggest nnnierieally caiuidt he qnestioned. It has fifty-nine members. In the last six years the stndent body of the College has increased 133 per cent. ; the Freshman Class- has increased more than 400 per cent. That it wields the biggest inflnence is obvious. Anticipating its coming. Dr. Wilsun originated and consummated the Forward Fund. When the class arrived, it was deemed wise to have a hosjiital, and one will be built — 52 - — u 3 T. this idea, of course, found its birth in the minds of the timid Sophomores. The class has come to sta} ' four yeare, so new dormitories are needed, and one will be erected. The Freshman Class is the biggest in niimbers and in influence, but the biggest thing abimt the Freshman Class is its ()])inion of itself. It is the Best. A ' e acknowledge that in every phase of college life the Class of ' 12 is the best. Certainly it is the best in atlileties. In football, basket- ball, baseball, and track work the Freshmen are stars. If we had the space we should exjilain why the Freshmen allo ■cd the Sophomores to tie the score in the famous Fresh-Soph football game. The professors marvel at the excellent work done by the Freshmen in the recitation room. The curriculum must be raised, says the Faculty. In the literary socities the Freshmen always take the lead. The class has debaters, orators, declaimers, readers, essayists, and musicians, of whom it is anything but ashamed. The Class of ' 12 has been well rei resented in the mid-winter and open meetings, and the result is that the literary and musical standard of these entertainments has been raised. It is unnecessary to say that the lads and lassies of ' 12 are nuUi secundi in moon- shining. Yes, the Freshman Class is the best in athletics, the classroom, literary societies, and moonshine ; but the best thing about the Freshman Class is its opinion of itself. It Is tlie Brightest. Knowing that false modesty has kept many great organi- zations in the background, we are determined that it shall not hamper this historical sketch. TIence we make the foregoing statement. And we are not alone, for the remarkable Soj homores admit it, the genial Jimiors declare it, and the haughty Seniors concede it. The Faculty, too, has observed the scin- tillant qualities of the jSIineteen-Twelvers. Dr. Wilson heralds the fact abroad, Dean Waller frequently mentions it. Dr. Lyon makes it known in no uncertain terms, Dr. Barnes knows it, Init he hesitates about telling it ; Prof. Mathes ' makes outlines about it ; Prof. Bassett says, Yes, indeed ; id est splen- dissimum ; Profs. McClenahan and Lyle believe it, but don ' t want to make a public statement to that effect, for fear it will cause strife; Prof. Clinton Hancock Gillingham, Registrar, does not deny it, so it must be so. In the opinion of all, the Class of ' 12 is the brightest Freshman Class that has ever come to Maryville College; but, in its own opinion, it fairly scintillates. 54 ifcesl)man F — is our l ' re.sliiuan olass.

The old three-year course is to be changed to a four-year course. Graduates of this dei artnieut will now be able to enter any college in the land, without couditious, as the work beginning September, 1909, will be put on the basis of the Carnegie Foundation requirements. The Classical Course will require four years of Latin and three years of Greek. The Latin-Scientific Couree will require four years of Latin and three years of German or French, with the regular Mathematics, English and History. One new teacher will be added to the regiilar Preparatory Faculty, Miss Florence McMauigal, a graduate of the College in 1908. Miss McManigal will teach in the Science Department. As a Preparatory School for Mary dlle College and for other higher institu- tions of learning, in all that develops the intellectual and moral life of its students, the Prejiaratory School bids fair to surpass, in the future, even its past fair record. The growing popularity of the Preparatory School is shown by the number of states represented in its roll. Twenty-two states are represented this year and there are more to come. Much credit is due to Principal Eadcliffe for his very efficient and wise management during the year, and uuder his principalship the newly inaugurated course will undDubtedly be one of the strongest and most popular in the South. 58 Athenian THE CVillegi ' vcai ' IDON-lDUy lias been au unusually successful one iur the Athenian Literary Society. jSFew nienihers of ability have been received. Old niendx ' i ' s who wci ' c missed have returned. Harmony ])revails and ' ' Progress is the watchw(.)r(l all along the line. Early in the fall a joint meeting was held wiili the Alpha iSigma Society and proved to be a ])leasant sucial and literary event. The annual j li(hvinter Entertainment was given in Voorhees Chapel December 11. ' I he title of the program, was A Kanihle in Dixie. Despite the inclement weather the usual large audience was present and ]n ' onounced the entertainment as even better than the Athenian ] lidwinter df l ' .M)7-190S, which has heretofori ' been regarded as th e standard of excellence. Among the other ])leasant features of thfe year was an address hy Prof. 0. H. Mathes on ' Iliiw n )utline a Debate, and a special program February 12, in honor of the onedmndredth anniversary of the birth of Abraham Lincoln. Much advancement was made during the year along musical lines. Special mention should be made of the Athenian Junior (Quartet and the Athenian Orchestra. The latter has l)een recognized as one of the leading orchestras of this section and has given many successftd entertainments throughout East Ten- nessee. Living in a gln.

HA3I5IOND GODDARD TEDFOED COOPEK BRITTAIN Buchanan Orr Carson Shelton The Old Guard E ' ETiY literary organization is judged by tlie character of the men it sends forth to the world. Fair or unfair, as may be this method of criticism, it is the })0])ular one, and considered from all points of view it should be such, for of what value is any literary society unless it exerts an influence over its members that is both lasting and beneficial ' The alumni of the Athenian Literary Society have taken high rank. They form a distinguished body of physicians, scholars, authore, missionaries, law- yers, clergymen, and statesmen, who are d iing faithful and eflicient service for mankind and daily winning new h(_)nors for themselves and their Alma Mater. Their sphere of action has not been limited to any state or nation, but is world- wide. Tn progressive Australia or retrogressive China, in ambitious Japan (u- sedulous Turkey, in most enlightened England or darkest Africa, in almost every corner of the earth, Athenians have labored and labored well. A great number of the alumni of this grand old Society have entered the gospel ministry and devoted their lives to that noble calling. Many of these have been missionaries and in listant lands have endured suffering and hard- ship for the sake of their Master. On the Athenian records may be seen the names of men who have ])reached the gospel in Alaska, Mexico, Brazil, Japan, China, Siam, India and other foreign fields. Mr. Charles Alexander, the noted e ' aiigeli-itie singer, who has done so much for the Christian cause in Europe and America, received his early training in the Athenian Literary Society. The Athenian Society has also contributed liberally to the legal profession, and here, too, her sons have not been found lacking. They ha ' e won name and fame on the bench and in the legislative hall. Even now, in the Tennessee State Senate, an Athenian alumnus, Hon. W. E. Parham, is receiving deserved credit for the imjiortant part he has taken in the great victory that has been won there against corru])tion and intein] erance. l ot less imjiortant has been the Athenian gift to the circle of those who teach; and most prominent among these stands Rev. Samuel T. Wilson, D. D., President of ] laryville College. The Aiheiiian Literary Society is justly ]n ' oud of Dr. Wilson, as the head of a great educational institution, as a scholar, as a Christian minister and missionary, and as a man. That this Society is still carrying on the great work of seuiling fVirth able men is anqjly attested by tlie fact that during the last four years she has fur- nished three valedictorians. With such a record of ictories in the ]iast, what can Athenians do but move on to new victories in the future ' ? 62 Cf)E moli of tl)c Settle!)

It has, as its supporters, men governed by the sober judgment of justice and benevolence; it has as its opponents men controlled by cupidity and greed. All such movements have had martyrs — heroes who have sacrificed their lives for the cause they sought to advance. Some have worn their lives away and have come to the grave weighed dcivu by their hil)nrs; others have died of broken hearts as they looked back upon apparent faihire. Some have been burned at the stake ; others have been struck down by the hands of assassins. During the last four years we have Avitnessed and engaged in one of the greatest moral struggles that ever appealed to the hearts and consciences of men. Tn the South, especially, the contest has lieen keen and bitter, and Tennessee for the past few months has been a veritable battle-ground for the opposing forces. The allies and adversaries of the cause have marched and countermarched over this fair State. And in the midst of it all, while the friends of the cause were sending up their prayers, anxiously invoking the aid of high heaven, and the enemies were poisoning the atmosphere with curses and corrupting men with gold, the most brilliant advocate of the temperance movement was struck down liy the hand oi an assassin. Just when he was coming into full possession of his powers, just when the horizon of his usefulness was broadening with the passing hours, he fell a martyr to the cause of temperance. He was a man of national influence, and the ISTation mourns for him ; he was a champion of the Southland, and the South weeps for him; he was the most beloved citizen of his State, and Tennessee is grief-stricken ; he was a faithful leader in the tenijierance n ' o -en ' ent, ami the friends of the cause are appalled at the tragedy. The Nation has lost a statesman, the South has lost a champion, Tennessee has lost a noble citizen, temperance has lost its greatest leader, but the throng of martyrs on the other shore have received into their midst an equal, and a page in the records of martyrdom will forever glow with the name of Carmack. 64 Alpha Sigma WITH the closinc, ' f this pi-c.scnt school yc Av the twciity-sovi-nth year of the Aljiha Sit iiia Literary Society comes to an end. Its history during these twenty-seven years has been a fascinating one. Its niein- bershiji, since its very beginning-, has inchided the men who have been leaders in college life. It was fonnded in 1882 by a little band of men whose unques- tioned ability has been demonstrated by the high ]«isitions tn which they have attained since graduation, and whose leadershi]i was shoA Ti in the remarkable growth of the Society. It a]ipealed to the andjitious men and to the strong men of the college, and they rallied to its standard. So great became its mem- bership that in a few years it became necessary to di ide the Society into a col- lege and a preparatory section. Since its organization it has given to rhc world one hundred gradnafes. Among these graduates are two college ])residents, six or eight college professors, a large number of other educators, ministers by the score who are tilling promi- nent pulpits all over the country, missionaries who are doing service in many lands, and nundiers of leading lawyers, doctors, and business men. The Society ' s record of progress and achievement is a record that (tught to awaken an hi; nest ])ride in the heart of every one of its members. But glorious as has been the past history of the Alpha Sigma Literary Society, it is of its present status that we would s]X ' ak. As inspiring as our his- tory has been, we do not believe in living among the dry Itones of a dead past, but rather in achieving a progressive present and anticipating a Virilliant future. To tell the story of the Society of to-day would be to recite to a large extent the current history of the College. The fact that eleven of the thirteen men of the Class of 00 are affiliated with the Al]iha Sigma Literary Society speaks mcn-e eloquently of the place it holds in the college life of to-day than any eidogium that might be ]ienned. The key of the Society ' s success is found in the one word of its- motto: Onward. ' Its work for the ])ast year has lieeu in line willi its perpetual irogress. There has been a membershi]i of abotit forty in I ' ach division of the Society. The usual high grade of work has been done in the Society hall, and the mid- winter entertainment reiulered on Pecendier l. ' - was the best in many years.

Heard the hoarse and liollow murnnir of the Nortli-wind as it passed Down the frost-encircled valleys in its cheerless, chilling blast. But no soft . ' Eolian music, zephyr ' s sigh, or storm-wind ' s moan. Like the whispering of the West-wind on the pine-clad Hills of Home. 68 Bainonian IN the year ls7r, a handful ,,f ambirioiis : laryville ( ' ..lleoe o-i,-] decided to organize a young ladies ' literary society. The boys had tw,. str.,ng societies and the girls saw no reason why they, as well as their brothers, should not enjoy the privileges of such an organization and gain the literary training it w.iuld attoi ' d. Cnnseqnently, sneh a society was formed and the first meeting was held in the old chapel by the light of five or six small kerosene lamps. Here the girls met every week for several months and enjoyed very in- teresting and instructive programs. After a few months they were given a temporary room in the front part of the third st,,ry of Anderson Hall! which they took great pride in furnishing with what today would seem very cheap and scanty furniture. This was the headquarters of the Societv nntil 1S92, when the Fayerweather Annex was built. Then the girls received a new home! which they were tcld they might call their very own. This room has been the home of the Society ever since, and today is one of the prettiest on the Hill. Xot only has Bainonian been growing materially, but she has also increased greatly in numbers. The little l)and of ten or twelve girls who met together in that first meeting has been doubled and tripled numylimes. until now there is a membership of about seventv. The name Bainonian was suggested by the much-loved Prof. Thomas Jefferson Lamar, and in its root-meaning signifies the societv that goes. The S.iciety has tried t.. live u], to its name. It has also kept ever before its view its motto, ■• ' olamus alls nostris. This motto was ado]ite l at the time of the organization and exjiressed the desire and determination of the members to carry on a society inde]ieudent of all others and, at the same time, to make a success of it, a thing which outsiders di.l not think they could do. Bainonian has l)een a success. It has stood firm against obstacles and difticulties through thirty-four yeai-s, and today is one of the strongest societies in the Collea-e. 69 Stiveks MUECKE GIBBS SILSBY JIabshall Knapp mi)ti a artiDiiiitc W ' lii ' ii 1 •iiadualc. llic I ' n-sliuiaii iries.

As his wife was also very delicate, this meant that the children, Edna and Clifford, ninst leave their Eastern school. They had lofty ambitions, and this meant a great sacrifice. They had both planned to complete their college education and then teach. To Edna it seemed that all hopes for the future were now buried in the Black Hills of South Dakota. She went aboiit in a dejected manner and found no pleasure in life. Clifford, however, had not become so despondent. He spent much time in reading, and also found great enjoyment in studying this new country. He had made friends with many of the inhal)itants, and was beginning to feel an interest in them. On the particular morning of which 1 write, Edna had gone out for a walk. From her hanl-won vantage ground on one of the ridges she had an unobstructed view of the little valley below, and her eye took in every detail of the scene, made beautiful by evidences of coming spring. To many of us such a scene would have been insj iring ; Imt Edna gazed at the little valley a few moments, and then her eyes took on a far-away look; she was living in the past. Suddenly Edna reached the summit of the hill, and looked into the valley on the other side, and there, seated on a moss-covered rock, was her brother. Some slight noise caused him to look u]i and he saw her. Hello, u]i there ! ' he called in a cheery voice. (Aime down and join me. As she came do l to him, he noticed the expression of her face. Why, what is the matter, sister ? he asked. Edna glanced up dejectedly. ' ' Oh, hiiw T long for some of my old friends just to speak to! she said. ' ' I have nothing in common with any of these people; I cannot do anything here. Oh, cheer np, he said, and come and walk with me. If we look the world boldly in the face she will smile at us and shower her gifts upon us. Clifford was always cheerful. He had the miraculous gift of making even poverty and ,s elusion seem attractive. His (i]itimistic view of life was worth more than a fortune. It has been said that one who could rid the world of 72 worry would lie doing a f reater stirvice to the race than all the inventors and discoverers that ever lived; and this was exaetly what Clitt ' ord was trying; to do. Nothing- can free our minds fr ini care and fill them with pleasant thoughts more quickly than on a bright spring morning to walk by some woodland path or little streau) and listen to the song of the robin, the mumiur of the brooklet or the barking of the squirrel. On this pai ' ticular morning all nature seemed to be alive, and, as they breathed the balmy air, they could not help being re- freshed. Suddenly there came through the still Dakota air the soiind of a bell. It was calling the children to the only school within five miles. The brother and sister walked along in silence awhile, then Clifford said: What did that bell make you think of I am thinking that in a little dingy schoolroom those poor children will have to sit all day under the control of one altogether unfitted for such work ; and, Edna, I have just been thinking that we might do something to hel]3 the conditions ; we need some work. Work kills no one, but worry kills multitudes. Edna gave a little start. Well, what could I do? she said. I am sure there is no opportunity for nie to work in this place. Edna, you know there is only one school near here, and there are many children who cannot go to it, and would be benefited very little if they could. I believe we could start a school. It winild be work for us. and we shiiuld be helping others. I am afraid you are building air castles, said Edna. But as she looked at Clifford he saw a new light in her eye and a new expression on her face, which caused him to hope that with the awakening of nature there had come into Edna ' s life an awakening. And he was right. All that day Edna lived in the future. Ambitions were awakened, ])lans were formed, and the next niorn- ing she was ready to api)roach the sulijcct. The result was that the two, working together, soon had jilans formed for a school. There was much to be done. The parents must be seen, and a building- secured, but this only ke])t them busy and ha])])y during the s]u-ing- and early summer, and l)y August everything was ready for the opening of a prin Lary school, with Edna as teacher. The building- and furnishings were rough, but it was a beginning, and it meant the opening of a new world to these secluded people. 73 Their friends in New York learned of the work and were eager to help. Contributions were sent, and now there is a nice, well-furnished school building, and the school has grown, until Clifford has been coni])elled to go in as principal, with Edna as assistant. If you could bo near some afternoon when school closes, vou could not doubt their success as you witnessed the merry groups gathered around Clifford and Edna ; and as they pass along the mountain road they are greeted on every side by words of warm friendship. But better than all, Edna has lost her dejected manner. Instead of living in the past, she is happy in the present, and is looking forward to greater things for the future. 74 Theta Epsilon The Blue! The Blue! The deep, deep Blue! Emblem of loyal hearts and true. Banner, long as breeze unfurls Shalt thou be loved by Theta girls! JUST fifteen years ago the Blue-and-White banner of Theta Epsilon was first unfurled on College Hill. Many were the storms that swejJt iipon it furiously, many were the winds that lashed it fiercely in those early days; but, because of the untiring zeal of her followers, never was the loved Blue- and-White swept to the ground. Ever has it remained aloft, unconquered by the storm, a fitting emblem of the lofty ideals and amb itions of the Theta Epsilon pioneers. Inspired by this noble banner, the members of Theta Epsilon have dared to attempt much, and, attempting, have succeeded well. But this talent has not been kept entirely within the Society walls ; it has been given, freely, to enrich every form of college life. In Y. W. C. A., in the classroom, in the gymnasium, and among the musicians and artists, the Blue-and-White has many ai)le representatives. Ever may the lives of Theta Epsilon girls be guided by the Blue-and-White — the emblem of Truth and Purity. Ever may they hold the banner aloft, crying in unison : Our hearts, our hopes are all with thee — Our hearts, our hopes, our prayers, our tears. Our faith, triumphant o ' er our fears. Are all with thee — are all with thee ! OE In our fair and sunny Soutliland, ' Mid the hills of Tennessee. Stands our dear old Alma JIater, Orange, garnet! Hail to tliee! Far from thee we all may wander. In the days that are to come. But th} ' name we ' ll e ' er remember — Marvville, our College home. All our College life is happy. Hut, perhaps, tlie best of all Are the hours we spend together In our dear old Theta hall. Many happy, helpful friendships Thou ha.st caused us all In make. Friendships to us all the dearer. Since we formed them for thy sake. Theta Epsilon, we love thee, All thy daughters, strong and true: Proudly now we raise thy banner. Loyal to its white and blue. 76 Three Old Maids MA1;Y ' ILLE college is a ' ' Co-Ed School, and von would certainly lia c rhonght so if yon had overheard the conversation of Mary, ilamie L(JH, and Elizabeth as they tugged their heavy suitcases up the cinder walk frciui the station. These girls were Sophs. They had been Fresh last year, but now they felt an increase of dignity an l imiKirtanec u])on them. T tell you, Mary, said Mamie Lou between ])ants for breath, we ' ve just got to do something this year, something really new and original. As we ' re the only Sophs in tlu- Hall nobody need know anything about it. Oh, T have the cutest ])lan, girls, if you ' ll just consent to do it 1 cried Mary. ■ ' Out with it I came fi ' om both the cither girls. It ' s an Old Plaids ' Society. We ' ll organize, and draw up a constitution and call ourselves ' Three Old ] Iaid ' s — T. O. M.. ilmi ' t ymi scv ' . ex])laine l Mary. Oh, w(in r that be dear! lary, vdu ' re the nnly uriginal one among us, conceded Mamie Lou, whom the girls styled a born leader if she could only think of any ordcu ' s to give. Mary, you write wji this constitution, and Eliza- beth and T will sign it, — w on ' t we, Elizabeth V ' That night when suitcases and trunks were still inijiacked, and each girVs room was a miniature wilderness, in the secret of ilary ' s room the three girls assembled. Mamie Lou was always enthusiastic. 0 girls, it ' s graml 1 We ' ll have stationery printed with big letter across the to]) — T. O. L Xow for our con- stitution, Mary. Mary perched herself on the empty washstaud and began: ' ' By-Jaws of the T. 0. M. Cltib. — We, the undersigned, do solenmly promise, on penalty of expulsion from this order, to acce]it no attentions from the opposite sex. As attentions we list: the (•om])any of young men fo and from Lyceiuu lectures, ball games, midwinters, snaps, and the like. We reserve, however, the righ t to amend this constitution by a vote of a two-thirds majority, whenever we may deem it necessary to do the same. [Signed] LvEY Simjis. 77 Now, girls, put doAvn yonr names. ' ' Whereupon each girl marched up and scrawled her name across the page of ' ' Theme-pad. When this was accom- rlished Marv reviewed her production mth prond eyes. There, that ' s good, girls, and I don ' t believe it Avill be very hai-d to keep after all. We ' ll show those conceited fellows that we are independent. Now we ' ll elect officers. I ' ll preside till we elect oiir president, said Mary. Elizabeth arose very solemnly and nominated Mary Sirams for president of the T. 0. M. Club, to seiwe one year. Of course she was elected. Mary made a low bow and a speech of thanks for the honor. And I will appoint the other oilicers, as there are only three of us ; ] Iamie, you for vice-president and Elizabeth for secretary. Now for business: All we need to do is to follow our constitution and keep onr mmiths shut. So the meeting was adjourned to assemble again every Saturday night at 9 :30 in that little store room off the front ]iarlor. Things seemed to go along beautifully till Saturday again arrived, and the meeting of T. 0. M. Before order could be established Mamie Lon exclaimed : 0 girls ! I am jnst frantic ; but of course I am not going to give np. Frank Crown, that handsome new So])h with those adorable brown eyes, asked to take me to the Snap. I was wild to gn, but 1 cDuld see Mary ' s fniwn upim me, and T told hini T had a jirevions engagement. Say, Mary, I think we might cut Snaps ofF that list ; they don ' t amount to much anyway, and we can amend our constitution. So the constitution thereafter contained the following amendment: Amendment I. — Be it enactcil that Sna]is are exce])ted from the above list of attentions. ' ' The Saturday night after the first Lyceum entertainment Mary ap- proached the mendjers of her order with eyes swimming in tears. Just think, I could have gone to that Lyceum with Frank Crown if it hadn ' t been for this abominable Old Maids ' Society! I told him I was awfully sorry, but explained why I couldn ' t go. He laughed so hard that I almost believe he knew all about it, wailed Mary. Let ' s not have Lyceums in this list. All right, ' ' both the others agreed with one voice. So came the second amendment, and by a like protest from Mamie Lou, ball games were excepted from the above list. But Midwinter remained. ITp to this time, however, there had been no Midwinter, which accounted for the fact. 78 On the first of Fobrnarv, 7 lizaboth — rloar, quiet, obedient Eli .alieth — unheard from before, brought up her first protest. Say, girls, this thing ' s a farce; see, we have only • lidwinters on our list. Let ' s strike that off and call this club disbanded. I have a date with P ' rauk frown for the ilidwinter next Friday evening, provided this thing fails through tonight. Frank and I are engaged, and we are to be married the day we graduate. You know we have been together at everything this year exce])t the first Snap, the first Lyceum, and the first ball game. Isn ' t hv handsome, girls ? And T am perfectly infatuated with him. When Elizabeth had imparted this startling information, the other girls walked out, giving her one sconiful glance. They marched straight upstairs, and as they were shutting ilary ' s door behind them Elizabeth heard Mamie Lou say: And to think, that sneak Frank Crown was trying all the time to break up onr club, and all for the sake of Elizabeth Churchill. 79 The Adelphic Union THE Adelphic Union is one of the j leasantest organiza- tions on the Hill. There is, and should be, much friendly i-ivalrv in society work, but in the Adelphic Union the tour societies are banded together and woi ' k as one body for a common cause. An annual entertainment is given by this Union, in Avhieh the highest literary work is ])resented, the participants l)eing chosen fnnu file four societies. This entertainment has been for a long time one of the features of Commencement week. The Adelphic Union banquet ocelli ' s also every year, and the wit and wisd iin of the various toasts and toasters adds much to the pleasure of the occasion. (80 Young Women ' s Christian Association THK ' (lllll W ' niiicirs (liristian Association is Iteconiing more and more a factor in nur college life. The work of the ] a t year has been very gratifying. A good number of the okl girls were back at the beginning of the year and soon a carefully planned campaign was started for recruiting the ranks. On the evening of September 11, the Association gave a reception to the new girls. This gave the old stndt ' iits a good (i]ij)MrTiinity to get ac- quainted with the new ones and to make them feel at home in their work. The membership I ' oll of the Association shows an increasing number of names each year. Talent is being developed and the new girls are being fitted to carry on the work when those m ' in charge have left college. Four delegates represented the Association at the last Southern Confer- ence at Ashe ' ille. The session vas a great spiritual uplift to those who at- tended. ] Iuch of the success of this year ' s work is due to the never-failing sym- pathy and interest sho ai by the president and her co-workers, the cabinet. Much of their influence cannot lie known, for, after all, the greatest thing is to inspire a nobler and more beautiful sjiirit in the lives of others. Now as we turn to the future we are confident that next year will show a still greater advance. With such a record of achievement behind us we are inspii ' ed to attempt still greater things. OFFICERS NELLIE McCAMPBELL Pbesident NELLIE JOHNSTON Vice-President CLARICE HAWKINS Secretakt ANNA KIDDER Treasurer 82 V ' ■ ' , Young Men ' s Christian Association OF all the orgaiiizatious on College Hill, the most iniportaut is probably the Young- Men ' s Christian Associatimi. We have in the Y. M. C A. a combination of all the phases of college life, which we might term a social, literary and religions combination. Xanie the officers and members of the Association, and yon ha- -e ennni- erated the representative men of the College. Probal: ly in no other ])lace dues a man feel freer, more at home, more capable of expressing himself, than in the open meetings of the Y. M. C. A. The fellows meet here on a comuuin gronnd, where there is no distinctirm, no discrimination. Pri)lial)ly the l)est idea of what the Y. M. C. A. has been and is doing may be gained by showing the nundier of men enrolled, tirst in the Association, then in Bible and mission study wtirk. We have a mendiership of nearly two hnndi-cd, and while all these are not enrolled in these classes, there are several men, not mendjers, taking the courses offered, which makes a slightly larger total enrolled than our entire mendiership. There are three courses of the Bible Study T1e])artment : Studies in the Life of Paul, Men of the Old Testa- ment, and The Sccial Significance of the Tea(dungs of Jesus; and three in the Mission Study group: ] Iissionary Conditions in China, India, and Ja]ian. These are taught by cajialile and energetic mendiers of the Association, and are very interesting and hel])fnl. This year marks a new era in the Bible study work on College Hill. Tt is the first year of the group system taught by the stiulents themselves and is proving a great success. Professor Bassett, by generously giving his time and energy to teaching the normal classes of teachers in The Men of the Old Testa- ment gi ' ou]), is doing the Association an a]i]iri ' ciateil service. The students in these groups get, as it M-ere, a double teaching- — that of Professor Bassett to the leaders and the ideas of the leaders themselves. With tht- convention here, January 29-31, this year, of the East Tennessee Bilde Institute; and with the inspiration whidi will be gainecl by onr delegates to the Southern Student Cfinference in June, we may expect fresh interest and zeal in Bible study work next year. In conclusion, let us say there is a bright future for the Association. Its influences are the vei ' v best and they must, of necessity, affect, directly or indirectly, every man in ] raryville College and the communities from which 84 they come. These inflneuces of the Y. j I. C. A. tend to develop men who are proud to live the Ghrist-life, strong, courageous, sincere, numly, Christian men — the kind of men that this college at heart most admires. . OFFICERS STEPHEN GUIGOU Peesu)ent E. K. SLAGLE Vice-Pbesident W. H. JIAESH Secretary G. M. PAYNE Treasurer The Ministerial Association SECOND in organization, purpose, and effectiveness to the Christian As- sociations comes the ] Iinisterial Association; second not because of its lack of energy, earnestness, or strong men, but only because it is smaller in uuuil)ors. All candidates for the Christian ministry are considered members whether or not they align themselves with it, and any who do not do so are the losers. The purpose of the organizaticai is that the ministerial students may get into closer touch with each other, and that they may study the conditions of Chris- tian work. There have been several rare treats this year in the form of addresses by men like Dr. Gamon and Dr. Ogden, of Knoxville, and Dr. Christy, of Pittsburg. These talks, full of wisdom and good ctninsel, were a great help to the men of the Associatiim. OFFICERS HOWARD PHILLIPS President G. M. PAYNE Vice-President F. A. CAJIPBELL Secretary and Treasurer Football WHEjST, on September 9, Captain Sanisel and Coach Fox issued their call for ' ohmtecrs to do battle for the Orange and Garnet on the grid- iron, a goodly nnnibcr res]ionded, but an absence of the veterans of former years was keenly felt. With those that remained as a nucleus, Coach Fox built around them a team that in the closing weeks of the season caused much fear in the hearts of their enemies. An abundance of line material, gave Maryville a line this year that was a veritable stone wall, few of the teams encountered making anything through it. The principal weakness in the early iiart of the season was in the inexperi- ence of the ends and the back field, !)ttt l)y persistent and efficient coaching on the part of Coach Fox, this was finally overcome. Shifting Captain Samsel from tackle to half-back and then to end, the coach built around him, and a few other men who were good rminers with the ball, a system of plays with which in her last two games Maryville was able com]iletely to overwlicliii licr op- ])onents. A. C. Samsel, a veteran of three years ' experience, was chosen captain, and to his winning ])ersonality, his cool-headedness, and his abilities as a football player and a leader, lielongs much of the success of the ' OS team. A ttclle in former years, shifted to end, he showed his versatility, and soon became Maryville ' s best ground-gainer. Fast, a good side-stepper and one of the best users of the ' ' stiif-arni in the South, he was a hard man to stop. On the defense he was equally as good, often breaking throitgh the interfer- ence and ' ' nailing the runner at the same time, and was an ade])t at intercept- ing forward passes. To coach Fox ' also belongs a great share (if the ]iraise. Starting out with a team whu were f ir the most part new men, liy hard and persistent work he formed them into a winning eonibination. The scores of the two Chattanooga games jilaiuly show the wonderful effects of Mr. Fox ' s coaching. And truly Maryville can lie jiroud of this year ' s team. Although often- times suffering the sting of defeat, she always went down fighting hard, and took her defeats in a sportsmanlike manner. The team was, without dottbt, the cleanest and most truly representative of the institution that Maryville has ever turned out. Taking everything into consideration, the difficulties to be overcome, the playing of teanis for the most paif. out of ottr class, we can proudly say that the 1908 team came up to the usual high standard of the teams of former years. All honor to the team of 1908 ! S8 JFoottiall RECORD OF GAMES PLAYED Maryville, 0; S. W. P. U., 4. Maryville. 0; Vanderbilt, 32. Maryville, 5; Tennessee, 30. Maryville. 0; Kentucky State, 18.

The victory was an easy one for Maryville, and prospects were bright for a winning team. Another easy victory followed and again hojjcs rose. ' But these were nnly practice games. Immediately after the holidays the first defeat was experienced, and it showed the weak points of the team. A week of hard practice followed, team work and passing being dwelt on. and at the end of that tiiue the same team was again played. The result, althongh a defeat by a close score, was the fastest, hercest, and yet cleanest game ever seen by a Maryville audience. The Asheville trip was an entirely satis- factory one, and shoM-ed the constaut improvement of the team. Asheville V. il. C. A., with the help of the referee, won the first game, 27-20. while the second game with Asheville School, the Prep ( ' hanqiions of the South, resulted in a victory for the Lions by a decisive score. The material this year was excellent, but for the most jiart green, and this was the chief reason for the defeats in the early season. ludividiialism was finally overcome, through the faithftd efforts of Captain Sanisel. and the result was a machine-like team work that won the admiration and comment of the teams that were met. Although defeated three times, twice by the same team, this is no dis- credit, for both of the teams played were among the strongest in the South, if not the strongest, so that we can truly say that the 1909 team tipheld the high standard that has alwavs been Marvville ' s in this line of athletics. 91 Uailstun.

Thanks are dne to the business men of Faryville and to the stndent body for their loyal support and genuine athletic sjiirit that always encnuraged the men in their battles. On account of The Chiliioweax ' s going to press too early to get the 1909 record in, the 1908 team and its record are here given. Btit suffice it to say that the team this year, from ]u-esent indications, will loom tip as mighty as those of old. Dubourg Thibaut, of the ' 07 team, is captain, and C. H. Bunch. ' 09, is manager. 95 a o n 3 -so J 1 I cfjeDuIe for 1908 March 27 — Murphy Collcfje, 0; Maryville, 1. March 28— Murphy Colle ;e, 0; Maryville, ' J. April 1 — Milligan College. 2; Maryville. . ' i.

The picnickers, the Senior Class, took snpjier in th( collpoe woods. The fellows of the class collected wocd, and a big fire was kindleil, annind whicdi we gathered to fry bacon and eggs and make coffee. Rolls, pickles, and the like are never more appetizing than when eaten in the woods. Miss Green chaperoned the class. After we had dined snmjjtnonsly we sang college songs accomjianied by mandolin and gnitar, and seated around the fire told stories of ghosts and gob- lins nntil we conld almost feel them creejiing nearei ' an l nearer to onr fire through the woods. Junior jTacuItp dBntertain Just before school closed for the Christmas holidays the .Tnnior Faculty gave the Baldwin girls a delightful surjirise. Great had been the curiosity among the girls for the previous days as to why the parlors were locked and why such strange sounds sometimes issued forth. But the mystery was ex- plained when we gathered in resjionse to an announcement that the Junior Faculty would receive the Baldwin girls and their friends from three o ' clock to five. The Jmiior Faculty had refurnished the double jiarlors with every- thing that could be of use to the girls, from ])retty, bright-colored sofa-])illows to more substantial but always jdeasing mission furniture. In the evening the Junior Faculty gave a reception for the Senior Faculty and the Senior Class. Cempcrancc Q cetings Maryville College is keenly alive in its interest in thi ' uprooting of intem- perance in Tennessee. Various meetings have been held during the year and the enthusiasm of the whole student body has been aroused. One of the most stirring addresses of the year was that given by Jlon. 1. IT. Gamble on the History of the Four-mile I aw. At a mass-meeting of the students resolutions 102 were passed and sent tu the sciiatur and rc|ir -s ' iilal i r trum lliis district. J nt this was not all. IInndi ' c ls (jf lettci ' s wci ' c sent oiii to oilier seliouls, urfrinjr them to adopt similar fcsolnfioiis and tu use their intliieiiee against this a-reiit. e il, ■ ' Intemiieraiice.

Lvle Tiiesdav evenina ' , .lanuarv 2(1. Celetiration of jTortuarD jFiinD January 28, 1909, will ever be a niemoralile date for the students of laryville College. The celebration began in the morning when Dr. Wilson announced that, the Forward Fund of $200, 001) had been raised. The chapel service was turned into a praise service, that the Faculty aud students might unite in a -cribing all ]iraise to God for the accomplishment of this great project. In the afternoon the celebration took the form of a doubledieader liasket- ball game between the hrst and second girls teams and first and second lioys ' teams. In the evening occurred a short service in the chapel, when many promi- nent townspeo])le congratulated Maryville College u])on her successful career and the immense good that could be accomplished through the Forward Fund. Then came the big lir.ntire, a fitting climax to the celebration of the day. Gathering aronud the gi ' eat tire the students gave their yells, sang college songs, and then led by the liand earrieil the professors around on their shoulders, all — well, all but Dean Waller, who escaped into the friendly dark- ness. Q usical jfcaturcs of tiyt J car Amone the manv signs of pi-ogress so noticeable in the College this year, none have been more marked than the increasing interest in music and the musical organizations. Early in the year tlie ,M. C. Cornet Band was organized and in a very short time was jihiying at ball games and other ])ublic meetings, thereby adding nnudi to the jileasure and enthusiasm of these occasions. The band is composed of more than twenty members, well e(piip]ied with instruments, music, ere., and gives ]U ' omise of becoming a first-class musical organization. 10.3 Another new musical organization is the Young Ladies ' Chorus, whose rendition of Maunder ' s Penitence, Pardon and Peace was one of the most enjoyable concerts of the year. The chorus is composed of twenty young ladies, all of whom are accomplished musicians. The xEolian Glee Club is another popular musical organization, which has done much toward making the year a notable one along musical lines. The resu lt of their training and enthusiasm was evident in the various entertain- ments given during the year by the students. We must not fail to mention the College Orchestra, whose contribution of music ujion various occasions was greatly appreciated ; nor the ladies ' quartets, and the male quartets, both junior and senior, organized in the various literary societies ; nor the chorus choir, whose forty voices led the six hundred others in the chapel exercises each morning. This chorus in addition rendered much special music uj)on various occasions, most notable of which was the presenta- tion of the operetta The Merry Milk-naaids, which was pronounced by many one of the most musical entertainments ever given by j Iaryville College stu- dents ; nor can we omit mention of the regular College male quartet, whose services were in constant demand. The fact that all of these organizations have done good, faithful work gives emphasis to the claim that Maryville is making rapid progress in musical lines as well as along miany other lines. It also reveals the fact that the present musical faculty are faithful and full of enthusiasm in their work, and that their pupils are most responsive to their every effort. About one-fourth of the entire student body is thus enrolled in the various musical classes and enter- prises. Another evidence of the progress of the College along this line is the ar- rival of the ' ' Maryville College Song-Book, arranged and compiled by Prof. Hall of the music department. The book is a very creditable one and contains many new College songs as well as the old familiar ones. 104 = X C-4 OJ OJ s C cc -4J m p c c OJ OJ i3 i c X a; u w rt T- c; -u OJ rt ;- Sic ' J} be ■4-3 ■o a; ■n o Q ' o 3 a o ■a a; ■n ■r. o 1 c 17} 4) 0 .2 S 0) 1 4) p P-. 1 +3 Q Q 1 1 o OJ J3 c: -|J Oj HJ o t:3 -. .2 g P- ' i -i-3 % OJ CO o ca g H Z -2 9 o u o in QJ 2 0; b£ s rfl o o -4J 1 CO o s c t2 .5 CO be C 7; 1 1 u a- p. ci 3 a- £ si 1 X X X C; 1 X 5 ID x 5 i bi) o „ p.

EverytliiiiL;. Stayed here foiu ' years. Furnished her two poets. Helped raise the Forward Fund. Broken all previous records. Given the Faculty a hroad view (if life. Paid $1,944 in tuition fees since Septeiulier, l!)0o. Raised the standard of etficiency of the students. WHAT DOES MARYVILLE NEED MOST? Money. Elevators. A new demerit book. A few table manners. More additions to her menagerie. Water works and hot air. A manual-training department. A bonfire out of some of the old library books. Another class like that of 1909. WHAT WOULD YOU DO IF YOU RAN THE COLLEGE? Resign. Get the big-head. Adopt the Honor System. Give everybody good grades. Run it into the ground. Put lights in the library. Prohibit the use of note-books. Give the Seniors all privileges. Have a holiday each week. Make moonshine free and unlimited. Eliminate all Latin from the course. WHY IS 1909 MARYVILLE ' S GREATEST CLASS? Just ' cause. Because we are in it. Because the Faculty said so. Because they ate the pig. Because they did quit fussin ' . Because it contains the coming genius of the world. Because she ' s the bell (e) of the bunch. Quality high. Quality fine, It ' s all there in 1909. 112 Class Votes FAVORITE SPORT Mountain C ' liniliiiiy 1 I ' owliiig 1 Climbing Trees 1 Wink 1 Knocliing 1 Snap 2 Deceiving Peojjle 1 Baseball 1 A True 8porl 1 Cliaw Chaw 1 Making Jhul Pies 1 Sporting 2 Fishing 4 iloonsliine 1 Eating 2 Playing Hands 2 Skipping 1 Basket-ball 2 FAVORITE STUDY The Monopoly 1 S(■lli( r ( lass 1 Nature 2 Cieography 1 Secret Service 1 Algebra 1 Astronomy 2 Boyology 1 Ps3 ' chology 2 Penmanship 1 Theology 1 Sociology 1 Myself 2 Hviman Nature 1 Mankind 1 History 1 Pedagogj ' 1 Some Girl ' s Face 1 Moonshine 2 Bible 1 Creek 1 FAVORITE COLOR OF HAIR Olive Green 1 Gray 2 Straw Color 1 Brown 4 Blonde 1 Black 3 Changeable 1 Reddish-green 1 Sandy 1 Towhead 1 Red 4 Streaked-black 2 Green 1 Natural 2 Same as ' My Own 1 FAVORITE COLOR OF EYES Pink 1 Blue 4 Red 2 Hazel 2 Blue 1 Green 4 Brown 4 To Match 1 Gray 1 Anything but Rvd 1 Yellow 1 Muckledy Dun 1 Sky-blue 1 Glassy 1 Black 1 FAVORITE POET Whittier 1 l vron 1 Lowell 1 Adam 1 Frank Campbell 4 Emerson 1 113 Bunch 1 Never liad one 1 Julius C ' tpsar 1 Tom Fred Campbell 2 Longfellow 4 Horace G.

D., President WHAT IT IS. An institution founded by Rev. Isaac Anderson, D. D., that under the direct control of the Synod of Tennessee has rendered ninety years of service to the cause of Christian education. Thousands of its former students are scattered over the world. Many of them are engaged in Christian work. WHAT IT HAS. i. A teaching and adminisiraiive force of forty-two profess- ors, instructors and officers ; a student body of 622 young men and young women, 126 of whom come from twenty eight states and countries other than Tennessee. 2. A campus of 235 acres beautiful for situatiun. Eleven buildings provided with steam heat and elecflric light from a central power plant. 3. A location in the beautiful plateau of healthful East Tennessee, in the geographical center of the cis-Mississippian Southland, easily accessible through Knoxville to all sections of the country, exceptionally attractive to students who wish to escape the rigors of a northern winter or the enervation of a lowland climate. WHAT IT STANDS FOR. i. Scholarly Culture. The standards lor all departments are the highest. In the College Department ten groups of studies lead to the degree of B. A. The degree of M. A. in course is granted for post- graduate work. The Preparatory curriculum, comprising a thorough four years ' course, meets the fourteen-unit entrance requirement of the largest universities. The Teachers ' department offers a six years ' course equal to that of the best nor mal schools of the South The Bible Training department furnishes three years of training in the English Bible and methods of Christian work. The Music, Expression and Art departments give private instruction in their several branches. The use of Lamar Library of 12,000 volumes is free. 2. Social and Physical Culture. The social welfare of all the students is sacredly safe-guarded. Ample facilities for physical recreation and development are provided. Bartlett Hall, the largest student V. M. C. A. building in the South, contains a large gymnasium. On the campus are tennis courts, running tracks, and fields for football, baseball and other outdoor sports. Great interest is taken in athletics. 3. Spiritual Culture. Tne first concern of the management of ihe College is the spiritual needs of the student body. The English Bible is a required study for graduation from all courses. The Y. M. C. A. and Y. W. C. A. are among the most efficient Christian forces of the College. WHAT IT DOES. The College provides exceptional advantages at a minimum of cost to the student. The endowment of the institution enables the directors to maintain rates that are almost incredibly low. TUITION is only S6 a terra or $18 a year. DORMITORY ROOMS, steam heated and electric lighted, occupied by two students who divide the expense, rent for S6 to S20, according to term and location of room. All the dormitories are supplied with water on every floor and with bath rooms. BOARD IN THE CO-OPERATIVE CLUB COSTS ABOUT $1.50 A WEEK. TEXT-BOOKS ARE RENTED The total expense fornine months for all the afore-mentioned items averages $90. Tuition for Music, Art, or Expression averages fifty cents a lesson. There are no incidental fees except in the Science laboratories. i ± 4- WRITE FOR CATALOGUE TO REV. CLINTON HANCOCK GILLINGHAM.
