At least it was the best since the re-opening of the University in 1885. Every department of the institution, every phase of student life has added its full share to the general prosperity and growth of Old Miami. There have been several changes in the Faculty during the past year. Princeton University called from us the occupants of the chairs of Philosophy and History; The Professors of Mathe- matics and Public Speaking, too, were called to other fields of use- fulness. Specialists capable in their line and pleasing in per- sonality were selected to fill all the vacancies. TWO additions to the number of the Faculty were made in the offices of a Dean of Women and a Professor of Manual Training. On the Whole, the teaching corps of the University has been strengthened and aug- mented by the yearts changes. ' 29 mwmwl ?wa mmwmaw The Hermn Gymnasium The attendance of Miami for the year is quite the largest in its long history. The Freshman Class numbered ninety-five strong, a very material increase in per cent over last years class of beginners. More pleasing and gratifying than the gain in mere numerity is the marked improvement in the personnel of the stu- dent body. It is not too much to say that the present standard of young men and Wemen is as high as of any college in this broad land of ours. Through the goodness of the Legislature of this sovereign state of ours, neW buildings have been added to our equipment. Hepburn Hall, one of the most complete dormitories in the Ohio Valley, satisfies the most crying of Miami s needs. Brice Scien- tiiie Hall, tripled in size and usefulness, stands north of Hepburn Hall. The campaign is at its height. Extensive plans are now 30 Brice Scientific Ha Z! prepared by Which we are to secure our new Library, a N ormal building, a Chapel and a central heating plant, all to satisfy the , needs of the growing institution. Especially is it pleasant to be able to record the revival of interest in the Literary societies. It is the wish of the Faculty, of every alumnus and of every friend of the institution that these societies, both for men and women, be placed 011 a firm footing- and at present their Wish is fast being realized. Interest in debate, in essayein all things literary is strong this year and we have reason to believe that the spirit of old may soon obtain in the 01d Literary Halls every Friday evening. The Christian Associations have made this year great strides in the right direction. A General Secretary now directs the welfare of the Y. M. C. A. and under his leadership great pro- gress has been made. The Y. W. C. A., too, is very strong this year. Bible classes in both organizations are doing remarkable work. Hypocrisy has deserted the Associations and in its place is the true spirit of Christianity, making for higher ideals, truer manhood and womanhood among us. The influence of our Chris- tian Associations cannot be overestimated. 31 Hepaurn Hall Last years Junior Class, that of 1906, published the ttRe- eensiof the Miami Annual, a copy of Which had not appeared for eleven years. The Class of 1907 , the J uniors of today, decided to continue its issuance; this book is the result. Not having the accumulated experience of years behind us, their sponsors, these two ttReeensiosll fall short of our ideals in many ways, yet each year from now on Will see a better ttReeensioWw The Student, best monthly college publication in this section, has lived up to its reputation, and to change the figure, has been this year a star in Miami as crown. The past twelve months have seen the darkest hours in our Greek world, and now, we all believe we are to see soon the dawn of true Pan-Hellenism. Such is the spirit that ere long Will rule among fraternity men at Miami. This year has been the establish- ment of an inter-fraternity, calculated eventually to bring the chapters of the various fraternities at Miami Closer together. Since the publication of the last Annual, one Chapter has acquired her own chapter-house and it Will not be long until the same may be said of all the Miami chapters. 32 Lewis Place- The Home of the President of M'amz' Um'zlersz'fy Today Miami is on the high road to athletic prosperity and prominence. Two years ago we were in a transitional period, midway between the professionalism of the past and the pure athletics of today. But henceforth nothing save bona-iide teams will represent the University. Never were the prospects for win- ning teams brighter than at present. With the eo-operation 0f the Trustees and Faculty, and loyalty 0n the part Of the students, Miami cannot and will not turn out a losing team. Hereis to all Miamiis Athletes! To say our football team of 1905 was a success is putting it mildly. In 1904 we won not a single game 01' scored a single point. This year we won the majority of our games andeit is needless to saye-we all appreciated the Change. The management of the team, supported loyally by Faculty and students, worked faith- fully, and as a consequence, iVarsity scored 138 points to her opponents 81. The outlook for next years team is quite as rosy as our retrospect. 33 C qurclz Straw, Oxford At this early date, it is yet too soon to predict the probable success or failure of the naught-siX baseball team. Miami always has had a creditable ball team, seldom phenomenal, never getting below mediocrity. Last years playing body was no exception to the rule. But With a majority of the diamond veterans back, and With a Freshman Class apparently rich in material, this springs ball squad should furnish Miami a brilliant, game-Win- ning team. i ' The Board of Control at one of its 1905 meetings unani- mously voted to take iVarsity basket ball under its jurisdiction, Where heretofore that game had not had the backing of the Board. As a result, basket ball has been given a new impetus and a team, the strongest of any in years, has represented Miami in decid- edly the hardest schedule ever arranged by a Miami basket ball manager. 34 A View of the Menis Dormitories 0f M'amz' University Hepburn Hall, the home of the young women of the Uni- versity, now adorns the campus; a fitting tribute to our own Doc- tor Hepburn. The building is complete in every detail; every room is now occupied audit Will not be long until another and larger hall Will have to be built for the under class girls, leaving Hepburn Hall for the Seniors exclusively. The Hall already has been the scene of many brilliant functions and it bids fairrapidly to become the center of Oxfordis social activities. So in conclusion, it may be honestly said, that throughout the year that has gone, every activity in this grand old college of ours has waxed strong, every interest has shown increased life and Virility. Time fails us to tell of the Normal School, the Music Department, the Academy, the Manual Training Department and 0f the many other things dear to the hearts of undergraduate and alumnus. The parting prayer in the sketch of retrospection is: iiMay nineteen hundred and siX be as gracious unto us as was nineteen hundred and iivef, 35 36 CLASS COLORS: Red and Black.

Senior Class History Old Miamiis in a 13X, for the Class of Nineteen-Six, Soon from her will pass away, on a memorable day, And of such great renown never will a class be found; Not in all the coming days of her darkened future ways. And that she may not lose all of this Class by no means small, Do we answer to the call, To discourse about her might and wonders to indite. lTis a Class of wondrous power, for eien in her opening hour, She great Victories did win amid gory battlels din. Is there need for me to tell what Miamiis sons know well, Of the day when NineteeneSiX in the tower-rush did mix? Was the Class of Nineteen-iive ever after that alive? Did they ever dare to say ought concerning that dread day? There were other foes to face, and we met them with good grace, And withstood them every one, and we never deigned to run. iTho we struggled, still weld rise, and press onward toward the prize. There was that fearful foe, Math, which uprose in all his wrath, With the purpose fell and firm that all should succumb to him. But we met him with a stern And hrm purpose ne,er to turn, And then to our surprise, he grew friendly fore our eyes And we had him in our grip-did we ever let him slip? Is there any need to write of the other foes of might, That we conquered in their turn? Does not every student burn With knowledge of the foes that to him have eier uprose? And our enemies were just the same as all mistrust, But the difference lies in this, that we Victory ne,er did miss. Would you then that we should bid, this sorrowful parting mid, The dear bells we know so well, mournfully and sad to knell? Rather let them loud and clear, tell the leountry far and near. That from out these classic shades comes a band of men and maids, Into lifels larger school of thought, and of action, where to be wrought Are works of more mighty skill, deeds and words of true good-will, There to take a fitting place and the stern foes to face. We are leaving you and now, do we make to you our bow. NINETEEN-SIX. 38 CHARLES ALLISON ARGANBRIGHT SOUTH SALEM, OHIO.

Historian 46 History of N ineteen Seven The coming of the Freshman Class on that bright Septem- ber day of 1903 marked the dawn of a new era in the annals of historic Old Miami. Then were laid the foundations of a new regime which in three subsequent years was entirely to supplant the old order tdue honor to the pastl, and, save for certain tradi- tions which will always endure, to transform the Character of the institution. From a declining and alleged senile and barbarous college with falling attendance and waning support, where hay grew on the campus and where orgies were not unknown, she has become a modern university, beautiful in campus and build- ings, splendid in her courses and equipment and lofty in the ideals of her students; the peer of any university of medium size in the Middle West and as a college of liberal arts inferior to none. 'It would, however, be gross presumption to claim sole credit for this advance, as we were but a part of the movement inaugurated by the new executive, but it was our good fortune to uphold his hands. Moreover, it is true that the new adminis- tration was installed the previous year, but that year must be recorded as the transition and the unique position of being the first typical Freshman class under the new epoch is reserved for the present J unior Class; N ew we were a remarkable class in many ways. It will be conceded that we were as verdant a crowd as ever made the emerald mantle of the campus pale in comparison with our deeper hue. But what latent possibilities were slumbering in the various tidomesll Of that lusty throng. ,ttDiamonds in the roughl, were we, as the Faculty and upper elassmen were soon to learn. Swan, McLaughlin, Sehweiekart and Meek became at once the back- bone of the orchestra. Markley, Welliver and Stephenson made their mark among the athletes. Misses Green and Croll amazed the class with their prodigious faculty for mastering Greek. Gaines and Eiderniller became star ladies, men. Barrow distin- guished himself as an inventor and space will not permit to enumerate the achievements of the rest. The Freshman class that fall was the largest ever to enter the doors of Miami and ttwenderful t0 relatell it sent in t0 ttTomrnyll the biggest math class ever heard of in history and it is told that that modern Pythagoras was so startled that. he actually contemplated flight, thinking in his retrospective mood, 47 the Salines were coming oler the wall. It is to this Class that belongs the creditesome say disoredit-of abolishing the old ttbarbarous, destructive and life jeopardizing tower-rushli as a form of class contest, for which we gained the profound grati- tude of Prexy and the Faculty. It was this class that painted the town with the class number in glaring green and white and which honored certain select members of the Sophomore Class by permitting them to wield the brush. Afterwards, so great had been this pleasure, that out of our extreme gratitude it was decided that one and all should make a ttfree-willll thank offering of one dollar ten to the treasurer. It is not recorded whether or no he applied the sum to the ttmissionaryl, cause intended. As a substitute for the tower rush a foot ball game was decided upon to test our prowess with the foe, the Sophs, and that foe went down in inglorious defeat under a score of 11-0. In our Sophomore year Mars was not propitious, and with an inequality of combatants of 2 to 1 in the Freshmenls favor, several of us were compelled to play the role of Daniel Boone and his men around the stake, only the flaming fagots were luckily absent and the Indians were not red. In spite of a bad beginning this was a prosperous year, and one that contributed to impress upon the minds of the Faculty the fact that in us they had a Dia- mond of the First Water. The present one has been a red letter year. In all phases of college life we take a leading part and often wonder how the school will run without us and what will become of her when we are goneewe trust the Lord in his kind providence will pre- serve our own Miami. But to be more serious; as, after three years we View our ranks, our hearts are saddened, 'for we are not all here. Some have fallen by the wayside and now labor in other fields, some by force of circumstances, having lost a year, are adopted mem- bers of lower classes, while some few of superior mind have been called up higher and today sit with credit in the Senior row. But we are one. We hold the principle expressed in the English maxim tThee an Englishman, always an Englishmanfl to be true. Wherever we are, in the ranks, in advanced or lower classes or beyond Miamils walls. all members of that original band, are still the Class of Nineteen Hundred Seven. F. A. R. 48 CLYDE EARL BARROW Years ago, the jays called and the bull-frogs croaked and a wise acre sitting athwart the counter in the Sharonville Corner grocery store chuckled and said: liAha! Another great man has been born in our county. The Barrows have a pert youngster christened by the par- son Clyde Earl. He will be a genius? The youthful Clyde for some years followed the plow in his fathers farm land and between springs he learned his rudimentary iiRisi, at the district school. In the fullness of time Clyde was graduated from the Lockland High School. Eventu- ally Mr. Barrow gravitated to Miami, and now for three years, has been a faithful hard-working student. Our friend is a scientist of no small ability already having taken out a patent from the Patent Office of the United States Government. In a few years from now, we confi- dently expect that the name of Barrow will be known everywhere, and Clyde will have been a benefactor of the human race. ROBERT RAYMOND BLICKENSDERFER, ttBoMyli A quiet, unobtrusive lad goes in and out among us, known to one and all as liLittle Bobby Blickensderferf, In the midst of a class pri- marily of talkersefor there are girls in the classeit is indeed refreshing to come to one who is quiet without being dull and silent without being moody. A full catalogue of Robertis virtues would require decidedly more space than we can allot to one individual. His vices furnish no material at all, for he has none. So we must concentrate our word- picture into a very few lines Without much coloring. Robert Raymond Blickensderfer was born in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania. He attended for a While private schools in that state. Finally he attended Miami as a first prep, six years. ago. He is vice president of our class this year. In the words of the Japs let us say: liBanzai, Banzai? a thou- sand years, a thousand years to Bobby Blickensderfer. REIGH FLORENCE BRANDENBURG A flower transported in good soil from the stuffiness of the 1908 hot-house. Miss Brandenburg, by her afliliation with 1907, has added materially to the sum total of our intellect talent and virtue. T0 expa- tiate further on the good qualities of one so favorably known would be a criminal waste of space in this sketch. Miss Reigh is a Man- hater of the True School. She finds solace in exercising her vocal organs in Dr Myersi chorus and in never failing to answer when called upon in class. CLIFFORD KNOWLTON BROWN, ttCurlyii Nothing further need be said to prove the greatness of Brown, than to say he hails from Butler County. Some twenty-one years ago, Mr. Ben Brown passed around the cigars, for a little red, bald headed visitor from No-Mads-Land had come to disturb the peace of his quiet household. The public schools of Oxford claim the honor of training the puerile brain of the young Clifford. Ultimately, the job was passed on to the great institution Whose red towers he could see from the paternal farm land. Our hero is a quiet youth. No amount of detective work on the part of the scribbler could disclose any queer foibles or striking inconsistencies Which could be charged to his account. Indeed our class is fortunate in having among its medley of characters. .011e.who may be described without the use of blasting, burning, bllstering phillipies. 49 EARL FRANCIS COLBURN, E X, tiCooZz'eli Shandon, better known as Paddy,s Run, has long been famous for the brilliancy and keenness characterizing the intellects of her sons. This present example from Paddyis Run certainly is no exception to the rule. Earlls making the University in three years is one proof of this fact and another is that he chose to add his heart and voice to good old Naughty-Seven. To go back a couple of decades, Earl Francis made his initial bow to an admiring public June 15, 1886. Earl is a member of the Sigma Chi fraternity, the Erodelphian, the Track Team and other organizations. Pleasing in personality, we feel that the original is far more interesting than this character sketch and for that reason we recommend getting an introduction to him, if you are not an acquaintance of his already. MABELLE MARIE COULTER Father Time and the Registrar have it recorded in their respective books that Miss Coulter is an Oxford product, and that the frail bark iiCoulteril first sailed out upon the Sea of Life in the year 1886. Like a good staunch craft, Mabelle Marie sailed majestically out of the quiet little harbor of her own Oxford High School and with the wind of Fortune favoring, with all sails set, h0ve into the haven of Miami, tying up at the Registrar Dock in the autumn of 1903. The winds and tides of college life have buffeted her about for three years, but still she is anchored here. Mabelle was a Deke girl formerly, but the times are changed and now she dreams of other, fonder days. She does belong, however, to the inseperable firm of Pitts and Coulter. CARRIE MAE CROLL Carrie Mae Croll danced out upon the stage of this worldis activi- ties, May 18, 1885. Carrie,s god-mother says her natal month is responsible for her middle appellation also for the mildness of her character. The place of her birth is Franklin, Warren County. tOh, thrice lucky FranklinD The pedagogues of the Franklin Public Schools were interested With the training of gentle Carrie Mae,s grey matter, which job was afterward passed on to the faculty of Miami in the fall of 1903. Miss Croll is quite an author, just having completed a work entitled: llHow to Eat and Study at the Same Time? All this strenuous mental agitation which has been going on for the last three years has had a purpose. Miss Croll is to be a birch wielder.

FRANK BROWN DILLEY, A P, ilCde The proper time to send birthday presents to Mr. Dilley is on April seventh. The last birthday party cake contained twenty candles. For the benefit of those who do not know him, the llRecensid, begs to introduce to its many readers Mr. Frank Brown Dilley, now of Delta Rho, late of the South Dormitory and formally of Mason, Ohio. In our minds eye we see the boy from Bethany trailing back and forth to and from the school house, for eight long years. Now we see, after four years, when the town hall was filled to stuffiness with admiring relatives and friends after the Village lawyer orated two hours on llThe Vista of Opportunity? we see Frank, dressed in a new black suit and white tie, receiving from the hands of the President of the School Board, a diploma tied with red ribbon. Not caring to stop going to a good school, Frank allied himself with Miamiis Freshies in 1903. He will sink or swim, survive or perish in the Class of his Choice. Mr. Dilley inadvertently admitted that he visits Hepburn Hall occasionally. Another prospective. 50 HARVEY HUFFMAN EIDEMILLER, 2 X, tth'dyi-i An obscure notice in the Vandalia Weekly Gimlet for March 16, 1882, tells us that a loud-voiced infant wailed its initial greeting to the Eidemiller household on that date of dates. It is the grown-up hero of this thrilling episode with whom we now have to deal. One event of Harveyis infantile days must needs be recorded in this char- acterization. One night little Harvey had been asleep, but suddenly waking he up and roared: ltAm I a Sigma ChiPi, When told no, he rose and shouted in a deep bass voice, iiHo, to arms! I must be a loyal Sigma Chili, Our class-mate admits in his memoirs that he was the worst individual ever inhicted upon the Vandalia schools; This is Eidyis third year at Miami and by this time we consider the huge pro- duce from Vandalia well-nigh indispensable. As might be gathered Harvey wears the. white cross of Sigma Chi. He also embraces the principles of Delta Zeta. Indeed he divides honors with Glenn and Gaines as being the most irrepressible ladies man in our little Miami world. CORNELIA FYE If we were disciples of Pythagoras, believing in metem psychosis and transmigration, we would have hesitancy in determining the cycles through which Miss Fye must have passed. Possibly once a. peachefor she is still a peach. Probably once an angel, for we hear a voice from 1906 averring that she still is angelic. Miss Cornelia has a peculiar idea-thinking the only colors harmonizing with her complexion to be azure and argent. To continue this shower of bou- quets ad incinieom would be to the delight of the writer, but space or rather lack of it tells him that in this case, the will must stand for the deed. BERNARD CHARLES GAINES, B GD II, ttCooclzii In the land of Blue Grass and Moonshine, Bernard Charles Gaines was cast upon a meek and resisting Burlington public. When a very young babe, he surprised the nurse in whose arms he was, by rising up and lustily calling out ttCo Nanny! Co SheepyW Little thoochli daily carried a big lunch basket to Petersburg. Here he attended Early,s select school. It is a source of perpetual worry to his friends to know just how he got in. When his depravity had developed sufliciently, he was sent to Rugby Military Academy, where by dint of hard work he became first lieutenant. In the class of 1907 he has been an untiring workereof the profs. In society as well he has been indefatigible and as an escort to the daughters of Eve, he is par excellence. Throughout the length and breadth of this sec- tion ilCoochh is known as a tiqueenerli of rare merit. Bernard has his life insured lately. He holds one copy and pays the rates, while the other copy once held by its benehciary at the Western, has been allowed to lapse. It has not been tire-issued,i as yet. AMELIA MELINDA GEBHARDT Miss Gebhardt proves the falsity of the old theory that the good die young. She is very much alive; and as for her goodness, all who know her, and are fortunate enough to be counted as her friends, will testify that among all of Miamiis daughters, one can not Iind a more capable, pleasant, hard-working woman. Such of us who know her not are indeed the losers. Miss Gebhardt was born at Miamisburg and began her education at the public schools. She taught for six years, after which in the hrst year of the present dispensation, she became one of the class of the green and white. May all be well with thee and well with thy soul, Miss Gebhardt. 'J'l H AMY BLANCH E GREENE Blanche Greene, guiding star, ministering angel and. mentor to Delta Rho, is the subject for our present sketch. The biographer lS informed that Miss Greene is twenty-three years old, born 1n Cham- paign County in 1883. After being graduated from the Woodstock High School, she taught school for three years, wielding the ferule with much grace and dignity. In 1903 Miss Greene decided to cease expounding wisdom and to accumulate some instead. Miss Greene has been directly affiliated with llDelta Row-Rowll since its incipiency. It was Miss Greene who was time-keeper for the Midnight Mystics, it is she who now lights the altar lights at initiation, who inspires to play indoor baseball. She it is, who saves her pennies for D. R. piano, who keeps the boys from smoking, and whom everyone from President Liming down to Sergeant-at-Arms Shafer, thinks is the embodiment of wisdom, tact, sweetness, goodness, and constancy-everyone not excluding Frank Todd. Amy everyone says llAmen! ELMER H. HARTLE, cID A GD, II A E, uDazzm. A portion of this terrestial globe in Hardin County adjacent to Kenton, Ohio, received a dull sickening thud in 1884. Since then, it has received many more as the result of Elmer,s tackling and being tackled in the game of mole skins-interrupted only by the annual breaking of collar bones. Elmer is one of our stellar attractions in our little 1907 side show, and is a brilliant and shining light in the star line when acting as satellite to some fair one. His propensities and proclivities seem to lead him to the choice of maids of such tender years that he has been universally dubbed llDadW It would be hard to find a student more generally liked than llDad Hartle, or one with more sterling qualities. He is a prop and pillar to Phi Delta Theta, a prop and pillar to 1907 and a prop and pillar to the present thecensiol, board which fact precludes the possibility of our say- ing more concerning him. SUZANNE EDYTHE HUSTON Back in l83eso vouches her matriculation cardewee Suzannne took up her residence upon this mundane sphere of ours, in Oxford, famed seat of education. Fate was kind to the child and she survived the vicissitudes of childhood and youth; the first thing we know the blushing Sue has added her name to the list of Oxford High School Alumni. Being mindful ever of the old red towers of the university not far from her home she matriculated at the Summer School of 1904. When Miss Huston becomes full of the love and learning dispensed at the University, and when she has joined that distinguished but ever increasing bunch of fossils over which Dr. McSurely presides as neciologist, she proposes to be unselfish and to let her wisdom-case cffervesce in some school room, giving forth some of the llwisdom which has been stored up through these yearsethat is if Dan Cupid permits, which is not at all unlikely LUTHER DAVID LAURENCE, A K E, H A E, - 4tFrmrlzyll Universally known as ,lFrenchyfl Possesses an unearthly brogue. Room-mate of llBillyll Williams. Grind editor of the Recensio, Frequenter of Oxford College. Light kinky hair. These are the salient points-marks which distinguish llFrenchyl, from others of the pen blind herd. Luther, the little one, had his wits sharpened, his pranks planed off, and wisdom drilled into him at the Mechanic Art High School of Beantow-n. llThe earth hath its bubbles as hath the sea and this is one of them? ttW'hose like hath ne,er been found on land or sea? Frenchyls nose gets broken as often as Hartle's collar bone, hence he, its owner, has given up foot ball and gone into society; headquarters at Oxford College. Whenever he comes from there after llCalling Nightsl, it is said he grins for hours at a time. llVama! YamaW which, in the simple language of the natives, when translated, means, llDangerous business, my boy, dangerous business. 52 JOHN MARKLEY, JR., A K E, H A E, wCommadm-en Not far from where the rippling Ohio wends its limpid and silvery way westward between the foothills of Ohio and Kentucky, John Markley, In, first broke the stillness of midnight with a plaintive wail. It must have been a beautiful moonlight night, with the stream murmuring a dreamy lullaby, the nightingale pouring forth its wealth of song, because an infant so beautiful, so celestially fair must needs have had such environment at its nativity, in order to be in keeping with the sweet baby face of John, Jr. But to get back to earth, llComlnodorell was graduated from the Georgetown High School; and and when the leaves began to turn tobacco-colored in the fall of 1903, he pays the C., H. Sz D. for a ticket to Oxford. Commodore belongs to the Tobacco Consumers League, being president of the same. He divides honors With Cummins, Keely and Learning as being past- presidents of the society for Securing Self-ease. He is captain of the base ball team and among other things is a society man of renown. llCommodorei, admits his worst fault is that of being too handsome. He is fond of the Agony-box,, presided over by the Shinkles. CHARLES FINLEY MCLAUGHLIN, B o n, H A E, wsjmie The Probate Records for Bellefontaine, Ohio, in the year 1880, tells us of a momentous fact. A scrawny infant, on March twentieth, of that year, first lifted up its voice and wept for pure meanness. His first words were: 9Say, Dad, got the makinlsim Mac romped with the other urchins, day after day, to and from the school house, till, at last, the school board gave him a High School diploma to get rid of him. So llSpeckisil papa, one rainy day, put little Charley aboard the chu-chu cars and told the conductor-man to put him off at Oxford. He has been coming regularly ever since. He is walking delegate to D. L. Auld, wearing the pins of Beta Theta Pi, Delta Alpha Epsilon and Pi Alpha Epsilon, besides a few class pins. Mr. McLaughlin belongs to the orchestra, daily choking the neck of a cello till it wails from sheer terror. The baseball team also has a claim on liSpeckh for he captained the Diamond Stars of M. U. during his Sophomore year. Cupid is Macis right hand man and is now messenger between Oxford and Pontitoc, Mississippi. Vale! Speck, Vale! HOMER GARRARD MEEK,B GD H, II A E, ttStoke Meek is a misnomer. Homer may be Meek in name but certainly not in reality, especially to those who know him most intimately. There,s no danger of his ever inheriting the earth. But we are antici- pating our editorial selves. No, Meek is charged to Greensburg, Indi- ana, being a Hoosier, luckily for us one of the few in our midst. Circumstantial evidence goes to prove that this youth went to school and in time had a High School diploma given him. Possessing an almost insatiable yearning for higher learning, liOld Stokei, entered Miami with ,07, in the fall of 1903. The faculty has seen lit to bide his presence among us and when the beginning of his Junior year rolled around, we- see him as manager of the Selby Club, manager of the foot ball team and drummer in the orchestra, one of which posi- tions he has filled so creditably that friends new and old have only good things to say of Homer Meek. BERTHA OLIVE MILLER, CD T Bertha Miller, like one Maud Muller, is a rural maid. Hiring a conveyance from Doggie Nagel, the llRecensidl man followed the McGonigle pike along its torturous way, past the llWesternf, for about two miles, and by strolling down a shady lane, he came to the old home of the Millers, where, in the middle eighties, Miss Bertha was born. Passing over her youthful school days in silence, we come to a momentous event which concerns us, and which it is incumbent upon us to record. It is, that she entered the Normal School in the fall of 1902. Miss Miller would be a member of this yearis out-going class, had it not been for sickness. Naughty-six decidedly is the loser by the transaction and what is their loss is our gain. Miss Miller is prominent in Phi Tau and in Y. W. C. A. work. In closing we may sal that she is president of the Bachelor Maidsl Protective Union. 53 CHARLES LEROY MONG, B o 11, 50x Another name was added to the Mong Family Bible some twenty- one years ago. That name was Charles LeRoy, the owner of which claims Hill Grove, Ohio, as his natal place. Nothing strange or start- ling happened to mar the pleasure and serenity of his school days so iiSoxii waxed fat and sassy, but not tall. In the fall of 1903, Roy landed in Delaware, enrolling in the O. W. U. i07 class as a Freshie. But a disastrous accident happened our hero. We donit believe this, but itis rumored that he was training for the Beer Team, got over- trained, so he took another train out of town showing up next year in Otterbein. As a Soph, at this U. B. school Roy learned to study, which by the way, he has not forgotten to do. Desiring to be near Beta Theta Pi, his cherished fraternity, Mr. Mong came last fall to dwell in our midst, cashing in his good credits at the Registraris desk. So by his advent, 1907 has gained a young man of studious habits and attractive personalityein short, a thorough college man. HARRY MAYNARD NEWMAN, CID A GD, ctBossii An old quotation goes something like this: 1Wlanner is all in all, wherein is writ, The Substitute for genius, sense and wit? It is the converse of this saying which is true of Harry Newman. His pleasing manners and affable ways are but indicative of the wit, sense and genius innate in the man. With the Scotchman we may say: ilHe hai tackini ways wi, him? Mr. Newman, so says the census report, was born in the Year of Grace 1886, at Fletcher, Ohio. He attended the Fletcher and Piqua High Schools until he new more than his teachers. In the summer of 1903, Harry made his debut in the college world at the Ohio Wesleyan Summer Session. Not finding that institution ideal, or that institution not linding Harry ideal-it mat- ters not whichahe entered under the standard of the present Junior Class during the verdant incipiency of that class. Harry has such a -perfect blending, such a fortunate mixture of the ingredients, luck, pluck and bluff that even his best friends donit know which predomin- ates in his nature. ROBERT EDWIN PYE, A K E, 8119058 Now, gentle reader, put on your specks and screw up your observ- ing powers to the scrutinizing point. It is now Mr. Robert Edwin Pye, of Chicago, who now prances gracefully before our enraptured and enchanted vision. But oh, for more space in which to portray Robert, yea, Auburn haired Deke. Time would fail me to tell of his life, how years agone he went to Chicago,s grade schools, of how at an early age, he began to swing his arms in a peculiar manner, how he served his intellectual apprenticeship in our own Academy, how delighted we were to receive him as one of us, how he dotes on Isa- bels, and how faithfully he has discharged the duties incumbent upon a man of talent. When a monument shall grace our campus, see Bobis manly shape will grace the pedestal, 0n the base of which shall be graven in letters of gold, iiHere is a jewel? FRANK ANDERSON RALSTON, 2 X, ttRawZz'eii Frank Ralston took his first plunge into the chill, seething sea of life in 1884. He waded through the educational shallows of the Macomb grade and High Schools; and in the Spring of 1903 drifted into Miami as a third prep. Ever since, he has been splashing about with the Class of 1907. Frank has dived into many college activities during his term here. He it was who collected the iidollar-ten per,i during our Fresh period, and turned the proceeds over to the owner of the fish wagon. Rawlie has been the Sig representative on the iiStudentii for two years, is an associate editor of the present 11Recen- siof, President of the Y. M. C. A, past President of the Erodelphian, head marshal and a score of other things. With all his business, he finds time to cultivate the social side of his nature. He has ceased to generalize and has seen lit to specialize. The object of this affec- tionate specialization is prominent in scholarship, Y. W. C. Ave and so on. We will say no more save that she is a loyal daughter of Dixie. Salve amboW 54 F. ATHERTON RIEDEL, ttGoaf' One of those extraneous exotic plants from the 1908 weedery. As yet unclassified by 1907 botanists. Since we can not name him, we must at least give his genus and species. Tall, fair-haired, slop- ing frontal bone, elongated ocipital. Has inherent qualities and pro- pensities peculiar to the Capon. Frequently found under a speckled straw hat. Often seen in the Chem. Lab. Prominent in Barb circles Thatis all right. F. Atherton, no matter what your genus is you are a genius and 1907 is truly proud of you. PAUL REVERE ROBINSON, B $ II, itBullyi, Paul Robinson, the lad with the Titian locks, conferred a great favor upon the inhabitants of Paddy,s Run by coming to dwell with them in 1885. The secretary of the school board inscribed his name in the Alumni book in 1902. The town finally got rid of him in the autumn of Nineteen-Three. Bully is a horseman, having followed the ponies in all his waking hours out of school; and by force of habit, he frequently has the nightmare. Paul is of a frank open countenance, which is open most of the time. Everything has been done to close this opening, but still the aperture remains. His strong points are his heart, his head, his grammar and his profanity, all of which have won him his place in college. We can not dwell on Bullyis virtues because they have been very late in developing. If anyone desires a list of them, the management will get out a bulletin to that effect. ELBERT FREIDLY SCHWEICKART, 2X, itOZd War-Horseii Like Atlas of old, the genial Elbert has a world upon his shoul- derseas business manager of the iiRecensioKi Like Orpheus of other days, he plays till we all cry. Like Cupid, he is a dabbler in hearts. Like Belleropho, the fiery steed, he is a war-horsei, in ath- letics. And to conclude this mythological analogy With one from history, let us say that Elbert like Bayard, is without fear and without reproach. As a certain Phi Tau maid says of him, iiHeis just too nice for anything!,, If there is onyone Who has his picture in this book more times than that iiLivef, we donit know the individual. Our lengthy friend is from Russelville, having russelled out upon this mortal coil in 1885. The bell rings, and the curtain falls on the Schweickart biography. GEORGE CLARENCE SHERWOOD Just how Mr. Sherwood ever found his way into the Lords country from the Blue Grass region, where, in the kindergarten they teach the children the use of fire arms and where distilling is legal, we know not. But Sherwood is doing for us the Methuselah sketch, having been introduced to a Covington society in 1874. Coming from the land of the colonels, Mr. Sherwood sought to emulate them by eEecting a goatee. Being of an observant turn of mind, he noticed that no one in this enlightened land nurtured such facial foliage, so he went to Ed Keen,s. He is a man of experience. He was married and is yet. In conclusion, let us say that Mr. Sherwood has a corner on all the intellect in our class, a gesticulator of ability, and a source of refuge for, and ministering angel to confused profs. 55 WILLIAM SHIDELER, t th'Zl. i i It was at Henoesome score of years agoeat Heno, C., H. 8r D. Middletown station, that young Bill Shideler lirst hopped life,s.fre1ght. He hung on grimly while the train rolled and bounded along 1125 track of years. The first thing we know, our friend gets off at Hamilton. Here he lives today, when not in Oxford. William was graduated from the Hamilton High School in the year of grace 1904. Althoi entering iiOld Miamerii with 1908 he had high ambitions, these have been realized and our friend itBilli, has passed up higher, becoming naturalized into 1907is splendid organization. He used to be a rol- licking Alpha Pi boy, but since the evaporation of that organization, he has contented himself With giving in expert testimony to the North Dorm Senate under Judge Douglass. WALTER L. STEPHENSON, q; A o, sz'g 51671323, By combining diligently the use of an unabridged Rand-McNally with a magnifying glass, we are able to detect a spot on the map of Indiana, representing the hamlet of Sedalia. Not that the town of itself has any claim to distinction, yet it is of vital importance to us as being the location of the nativity of our own Walter Stephen- son, known to all as liBig Stevyfi It is recorded that at an early age he wasnit large at all, but an intermingling of work and play in proper proportions made the child into a creature of ponderous bulk. As a result of the magnitude of his frame, Walter has played base ball, foot ball and done itweightsh in the field events. Athletics is not his only claim to distinction, for he has a head sufficiently full of acting phos- phorous to gain a place on the present iiRecensioll board, which position forbids our telling of a love affair which has Romeo and Juliet down on their knees, crying for help. ELROY TEMPLIN STORER, 2 X, ttClzerryXi The elements were raging. The thunder rolled. Vivid flashes of lightning at times streaked the inky blackness of the midnight sky. The rain came down in torrents, with the wind howling dismally and with the Storm Spirits contending in deadly strife, little Elroy Storer was left out in the rain all night and his hair rusted. The horrible catastrophe took place about twenty-one years ago. The youthful iiCherryi, in order to avoid being peculiar, went to school, played iishinneyfi marbles and ball with the rest of iem. In the fall of 1903, the class of 1907 held daily jubilees because Mr. Storer was henceforth to be another star in our selected galaxy. A youth, somewhat bashful, possessing such a perfect blending of good traits of character and per- sonality that already among us, his name is synonymous with true worth. LAURENCE WARDELL SWAN, BGDH, HAE, ttlaurz'e. Mighty portents foreboding great things for the year one thousand eight hundred and eighty-iive A. D. The stork, that domestic old bird which usually presides at such ceremonies, carried a red, wrinkled, wriggling babe to the chimney of the Swan homestead in Bellefontaine. And so was our hero ushered into this vale of tears and sighs. Accord- ing to custom. Laurence went both to public and high school, and while there learned the art of mental concentration and the habit of study, which have always remained with him. Orpheus must have presided at his birth for Laurie plays several musical instrumentsea fact much regretted by those who have to listen to him when he per- forms. The orchestra claims him as a charter member as does the Mandolin Club, which he induces to serenade on moonlight nights, multitudinous girls at the various institutions. That reminds us that Laurie has had love affairs-in fact the changes in his heart,s images have been somewhat kaleidoscopic. But as Mr. Swan is supreme on the staff of this booklet, we must be careful or he certainly will blue- penc11 any materlal concerning him and his. We know not whether to attribute this to modesty or to the fact that, in Bostonathatis enough, dear reader. 56 FRANKLIN LEROY TODD, A P. Frank Todd evoluted into this sphere in the year 1879. If, after Darwin, our friend who claims Ottawa as his birthplace, should trace his lineage back to the ape or is in any way connected with the baboon, we are unable to discover any signs of resemblance. Frank is anything but a monkey. He is a steady and persevering youth in whom there is no guile. The most conspicuous events in Franklin's Miami career are his election as president of the class in the Sopho- more year and his early affiliation with Delta Rho. Frank Todd, it may be said in closing, has the honor of dancing attendance on the Queen of the Rhos, the iiPower Behind the Throne, which fact has been intimated already in another of our little giant biographies. CHARLES BATES WELLIVER, B GD II, II A E, ' iSpeeder. i 1 Oxford, our own Oxford, is the place where Charley Welliver first opened his squinting baby orbs to the glare of day. Oxford, thirteen' miles from Hamilton and four from Darrtown, and about fifty from Dayton. The youthful 1iSpeedeW learned his A. B. Cis at the temple of learning in his native burg, and in 1903 he came caper- ing into the beginning class of 1907. Charley belonged to a high school fraternity called by the non-euphonious but expressive name of Mu Sigma Omicron. It is said he was fined for non-payment of dues. Speedef, is president of the society for the Prevention of Great Stature; although little, he is mighty. He belongs to the Tobacco Consumers League, the iiGobblersX, is a P. A. E. and the author of two lovely little sonnets entitled iiAnother Hundred Nights With My Lady Love, and iiPractical Blacklisting. Additional 0 TAYLOR CUMMINS, 0824359 Bugs is another adopted son of naughty-seven. Here is the story of his life. He was born in Sidney, the home of 11Gaz,ii Fisher, Cotner, Maloney, Martin, etc., etc. In the autumn of 1902 he up and went to O. S. U. But discerning in the future, a University was, and wanting to be on the Lords side when Mr. Lybarger with his No. 140 was to get it where the juglar and the collar bone meet, he came to Miami as a Sophomore. And better still, he has been here ever since. iiBugs1ii motor muscles never believe in working overtime. tSee Markleyy. In order to have less to carry about, his legs terminate, all seasons, in a pair of Oxfords. He may be seen, ordinarily, under a full headway of smoke, in company with any Deke. OMEN K. BORING, A P. Nineteen-six makes partial reparation to us for graduating iithree-yeaW people rightfully belonging t to us by giving up 1itwo of the finestf' one of which is O. K. Boring. Through his Sophomore year, this worthy was loyal to 1906, but circumstances and Fate had better things in store for him. In the summer of 1904. Mr. Boring went abroad, studying in Paris and Madrid the Romance Languages. Owing to parental displeasure he was quite unable to bring back that Spanish maid we heard so much about, so he came back again to us, in time NOT to teach the much advertised Spanish course. And so we close, saying that in Mr. Boring, our class has one of whom both she and Miami will be proud some day. 57 Partial Juniors CLIFFORD HENRY BOLLINGER, ttBole'e. To the occasional visitor to a certain township in a certain Ohio county, is pointed out the old homestead of the Bollingers. iiBy gumli, says the rural guide, i;that,s where young Hank Bollinger was born. We're proud of that BollieV, Said youth was born in 1883. History tells us that iiBollieii survived the uncertainties of the school boy period and when the downy fuzz began to appear on the face of the blushing Henry, he found himself entangled in the problems of the Harrison Township High School In the autumn of nineteen hundred and three, Mr. Bollinger became one of the integral 'parts of 1907. He is particularly interested in chemistry and it is his intention to devote his life to test tubes, reagents and determination. In Henryis lexicon there is no such word as iileisurei, and in the years to come his friends can all testify '1he is a self-made man? ADELIA WELLS CONE. 3 Known as iiDinxf The best known girl in Oxford. In times pre-historic, Miss Delia went to the Oxford Public Schools. In mediaeval days, she attended Oxford College. Rumor has it that when Miss Cone was graduated from that institution, Murray Sheehan, a child in kilts, played the role of Cupid in the class play. Miss Cone is about the most talented of all our array. Her histrionic ability has been in demand iilo, these many years? But it is for her art, that she is most noted. When she has become famous in this, when her artisfs nature shall herald her name throughout the length and breadth of the civilized world, we of the Alumni of Miami, claiming 1907 as our class, shall all rise up and say, i'She, too, was one of usV, STANLEY JEWELL MOORE, wBull Featlwrs? Stanley is one of the youngsters of our class having been elected to membership in the community of Salem, May 23, 1887. Like George Washington, and unlike Leaming, the matriculation cards never lie. Stanley attended the Salem Academy for four years after which we, as a university, were fortunate enough to secure himabecause his father was and is a member of the board of trustees. Stanley J. is aesthetic to no small degree, drawing posters for Y. M. C. A., besides persecuting a hddle and others by means of i0. Let not the shortness of this account be taken as being commensurate with his ability, far from it. Of a retiring and modest disposition, Mr. Moore has been an ideal college Barbarian, giving little opposition either to combine or opposition. 58 Class of Nineteen Hundred Eight.

Historian 59 60 History of Class of I908 Once upon an autumn morning, came our class, earliest dawning, When we entered Old Miami in the year of nineteen four. We were great, but now welre greater, we are older and sedater Than when first we wrote our story in that volume gone before, In the llRecensioll youlll read it, published in the days of yore. Read by all forevermore. Ah, distinctly we remember, it was in bright September, That we came back to Miami when vacation days were oier. Gradly did we greet each other, vainly did we try to smother Sorrow for the ones who came not-came not with us as of yore. We are forty-five in number, sixty-six weld been before. Some are gone forevermore. Well we started in our studies and the Profs. were glad to greet us,. For they knew us, and our recordsmrecords made in days of yore. Sophs are found in all the classes, doing work that none surpassed, Graded higher than the highest that had eier been given before. By our courage and persistence we had opened every door Closed to us hence nevermore. Would you know our deeds of battle, which the little children prattle? VVeive among us such debaters as were neier on teams of yore: For as Freshmen we were master, and we met with no disaster, When against ,09 in conflict we fought harder than before. We were winners, winners, winners, but it made the Freshmen sore And theyill love us nevermore. We are noted for our beauty, and our loyalty to duty, Weive among us such debaters as were ne'er no teams of yore: In athletics we are noted; and weire growing more devoted To each other and our colors and our Hag than elre before. Yes, we love the Old Miami, and were loyal to the core, Loyal now and evermore. Here we read our modest story, charge us not with pure vain glory, For we look toward the future; all our sins we do deplore. In the days to come weire hoping, with temptations ever coping, That our lives will grow more worthy of our boastful words of yore. We are glad that WC,VC carried hither to this happy shore. So farewell, there,s nothing more. 61 Sophomores Freda Marie Bachman. . . . . . . A . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . Genoa, O. Horace Ballinger, A P. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . Bradford, 0.

Historian 64 History of the Freshmen Class Miami entered upon the eighty-seeond year of her glory by ushering in what we think is destined to prove one of the greatest Freshman classes of her history. Our Class at the begin- ning of its existence numbered seventy-four; but the common enemies of all-siekness and misfortune-have reduced our num- bers to sixty-eight. But these losses, deeply as they were felt at the time of their occurrence, only serve to strengthen the remainder of us in our determination to surpass all former class records. We pride ourselves on the fact. that weare the most cosmo- politan class that has ever entered the University, coming as we do from the West ttwhere one has to be shown? from the deso- late peaks of the Adirondacks in the East, from the farthest shores of Lake Michigan in the N orth, and from the tRlark and bloody groundsi, of Kentucky in the South. We take our mem- bership from all walks of life. There are enrolled among us mem- bers from the farm, whose verdanoe to the sight is ever refresh- ing, members from preparatory schools and once filled with vain aspirations to greatness, members from preceding classes, who recognizing the greatness of our class, have decided to cast their lot with us. No better incident to prove the ability of our class to maintain its own on the battlefield can be cited than to recall the manner in which we conducted ourselves during the pole rush. The fact that the decision of the judges was against us detracts nothing from the reputation of the physical prowess of our members, or the coolness and tactful abilty of our leader. Suffice it to say that our beautiful, unstained flag of gold and black did not come downuntil the hour agreed upon had passed. There are five members of the foot ball team, four members of the basket ball team, and many promising contestants for track events who are loyal sons of 1909. We have even discovered among our num- bers those who can enter the oratorioal field against the most formidable orators of the upper classes, and that with no small degree of success, who bid fair in the future to uphold the former oratorieal prestige of Miami. This, all this, has been the eventful record of our remarkable class through the past year. Consider- ing the number and the immensity of the things we have accom- plished, one can only stop and wonder what the future will reveal.- G. E. BOOTH i09. 65 66 FfCSthH Henry Herman Beneke.

Graduates from the N ormal College receive the State Normal Diploma; Graduates from the College of Education, the degree of Bachelor of Arts; students pursuing courses forone year, a Certificate of Work. Students attending the Ohio State Normal College have the advan- tage of a faculty of expert and experienced professors, a library consisting of twenty thousand volumes of general and profes- sional reading, laboratories of Nature Study and Geography, Physics, Chemistry and Biology, the opportunity of elective courses in the Liberal Arts College. The Model and Practice schools are connected With the public school of. the Village of Oxford. This affords the students opportunity to observe and practice in regularly organized public schools Where all the prob- lems of the public schools arise. Many more calls for teachers than can be supplied from the graduates of the school are received each year. The first two graduates from the College of Education were employed at good salaries before their day of graduation. One is a superintendent of schools at thirteen hundred dollars, and the other is a professor in a college at one thousand dollars. Over ninety-five per cent of the graduates of the Ohio State Normal College are placed in the best graded school systems of Ohio. The enrollment has grown steadily since its organization. The first year fto the March vacationi ninety-three students were enrolled; the second year, one hundred and twenty-two; the third year, one hundred and sixty-seven, and the fourth year two hundred and sixty-two. In the first year students came from sixteen counties; in the second year from twenty-nine counties; in the third year from thirty- five counties, and in the fourth year from forty-four counties. 70 History of the Normal Class of 1906 Anotl1e11yea11l1as gone by, a V ea11ful'l of eventful happenings and brilliant achieV ernents fo11tl1e Normal Class of 1906, and it needs must be that another page be added to its histo11.y This year through the Chinese process of elimination, through sickness, through matrimony, the Class that last year numbered thirty-eight, now numbers but nineteen. This year Miami sends forth her greatest product. N 0 other class has been 011 will be so famous; a strong generation is never followed by one of equal strength; an artist has always his master- piece; a plant'exerts its utmost strength and lo, its most beautiful flower appears; just so Miami gives to the world her masterpiece, her flower. Two years ago when we entered Miami we took unto 011114 selves this motto: 11Have a High Ideal and Strive to Live 11p to It. 11 This has been the secret of 01111 success. 01111 aim this 3 ear has been to make school work both pleasurable and instruc- tive, and that we have accomplished. 01111 way to wisdom has not always been smooth sailing, but we 11aVe weatherd the gale and have at last attained 01111 desti- nation. The public school ol1ild11 en sit en11aptu11ed when we tell them of Ul31sses,Ta11peia, Sibyl,Polyphen1us. When we sing ttEwa Yea11 and ttVVah- wah- tay-seei, they are 1n0V ed bV the melody. We would not haV e the world ignorant concerning 01111 many famous young women We have talented artists, famous for their 11Moonlight Scenes. ll Skilled are we in the Manual A11ts most eloquent in debate. Two presidents have we an edito11,a gr eat mathematician, a novelist, a musician: band together these celebrities and the result 1s the most famous class that has ever graced Miami. Among the pleasures of the year we count lectures, art exhibits, a mask party, second only to these, Math and English speeches; and last, but not least, examinations, the very novelty of which doth please us. With L11the11we belieV e t a diligent, devoted school teacher can neve1111eoeive an adequate rewarle We, like him, place the teaching profession above all others. Success and fame are sure to follow a class that has such a love and respect for its pro- fession. 71 72 Sophomore N ormal Class MARY DARRELL FINCH . RUBY RUNYAN . MYRTA MCCONNAUGHEY .

History of the N ormal Class of I907 It is quite natural for one to feel a slight hesitanoy in under- taking to write a class history. Not because there is an insufficient amount of material but rather that there is such an abundance. from which to draw, that it is hard to decide just where to begin and still harder where to end. Then one feels a bit timid in sing- ing the praises of his own Class. But if I do not make this brief history a very glowing account remember that iiWe were ever slow to sing our own praises. ii In the fall of nineteen hundred and five Old Oxford, who had already robed herself in the somber colors, was made as fresh and green as spring by the ineoming stream of Freshmen, both Liberal Arts and Normal. Under the kindly guardianship of our respected elders we were conducted to Hepburn Hall. The following day was registration. It would take me too long to describe the strange feelings which we experienced as we passed through the various stages of that trying ordeal. After a few days. though, we learned the windings of the halls and our simple schedules. 7Twas then that we calmed our fears and dried our tears, for many had been shed because of homesiekness. Ask Prof Parker if we havent been the joy of his heart. We know that his face is never so beaming as when we are recit- ing to him; Miss Logan will agree that we are excellent workmen, for with'her have we not built and destroyed all of the aneient monuments of Egypt, Chaldea, Phoneeia, Greece and Italy? But still furthen-with Ulysses we have Visited the Lotus Eaters, the Cyclops and have become acquainted with Circe and the enchant- ress. Under Mrs. Richards we have learned much English and you would not believe me if I should tell you all of the knowledge that Prof. Feeney has instilled into our youthful brains. Hence my silence. I could go on indefinitely telling the accomplishments of this Class but modesty prevents me I ask only that you believe me when I say that mIlhe half has not been told? M. B. A life full of toil is hers who would lead Her countryis school Children in thought and in deed. But sure, if the Kingdom neier contain aught More blessed than children, as we have been taught. There must be a place, not for Children alone, But for good teachers too, up close to the throne. 74 Freshman Normal Class DAISY MINNICH . ROSCOE MCCOY . MARGARET BRIDGE . Margaret Elizabeth Bay .

More particularly, it has ineludedtlfoot ball, to which in these later days the broader and more comprehen- sive term ttathletiesi, has been narrowed. Three years ago Miami carried Off the foot ball championship of Southern Ohio. But the Victory did not redeund much to our glory, for it was won by questionable methods. Of their own aeeerd-be it said in praise-the students of Miami decided that professionalism in athletics was wrong and that never again the university should be represented by anyone who was not, in the truest sense, a bena tide student. They counted the cost. As might be expected, the next two years were years of defeat and discour- agement. The transition state was eost1y+measured in defeats and Victories. In the other sense, it was not, for Miami very quickly has emerged from this fluX period and this year has made rapid strides in athletics. And so Miami has taken her stand with the other institutions of learning for Clean athletics. The ttBig Sin, consisting of Ohio State, Ohio Wesleyan, Kenyon, Case, Western Reserve and Oberlin, has determined net to tolerate professionalism in any form and to take radical action, if necessary, to get rid of even the taint of it. In order to pro- mote the cause of pure athletics in Ohio Colleges, this organization has called into council Wooster University, Miami University, the University Of Cincinnati and others. At this conference Miami was represented by her athletic director, Professor Fred- erick W. Stone. As a result of this meeting each college repre- sented pledged itself to do everything to make for clean sport and genuine collegiate athletics. - Miamiis name has been heralded abroad in the athletic world this spring as the result of the Victories 0f Markley, i07. After winning third place in the sixty-yard dash in Cincinnati, he went to Chicago and participated in one Of the greatest indoor athletic meets ever held. Here Markley won second place tthe silver medaD and lowered the worlds record for the sixty-yard dash, running this distance in six and one-fifth seconds. All this speaks volumes for Professor Stone and for Miami athletics. 117 l I A In the branch of athletics which seems to overtower all others in interest to the student body, in football, Miami is just emerging from a transition period. Three years ago our feet ball team was accused of professionalism, of not upholding the cause of pure athletics. The Charge, it must he confessed, was not with- out reason. In nineteen hundred two our institution bore away in triumph the foot ball pennant Of Southern Ohio. It was not an achievement in which we have much right to glory. N0 Victory won by doubtful methods is honorable. One man playing on a college team who is not in the fullest sense a beiia fide student, gives to the entire team the taint of professionalism and dishonors the institution under whose colors he plays. Let it he said to the credit of the students of ttOId Miami?7 that, of their own volition, they resolved to reform. Believing that there is a higher object in college sport than the mere winning of games, they determined that none but real students should participate thereafter as rep- resentatives 0f the university in intercollegiate contests. The experiment was indeed costly but all that is worth while eostse even in athletics. In nineteen hundred three we were Victorious in but two or three games. Nineteen Hundred Fours team lost every game. We were paying the price. Untiring in their efforts to bring forth a winning team for Miami, the management cannot be given too much praise for their unselfish devotion to this aim. The result was that the close of the season of nineteen hundred five saw our star again on the aseendant, last fall only recorded two defeats out of a large number of games. The cause of pure athletics had triumphed at Miami. Long live Captain Williams and the foot ball team of nineteen hundred five. 118 ,Varsity Foot Ball Team 1905 Floyd C.

STONE JOHNSTON REED 121 Between seasons, the time when the annuals appear, it is extremely difficult to deal with the base hall phase of athletics. The achievements of last years team are now too familiar to every undergraduate to need extended comment. And, on the other hand, it is entirely too early to predict with any degree of certainty, the success or failure of Miamiis ball squad for 1906. Two years ago this spring, at the time for the election of the 1904 captain, there were but three men eligible to vote or to receive the Ofiiee. As a result, a team composed chiefly of unseasoned Freshmen represented Miami on the diamond. The 1905 team was an organization relatively good. The old players, reinforced by some material from incoming Classes, soon rounded into a team of some merit, whose list of defeats did not entirely overshadow its Victories. The management was untiring in its efforts to produce a winning organization. As for 1906 prospects an entirely new battery will have to be developed, which is probably the greatest problem to be solved by the manager and captain. The Freshman class seems to be especially rich in material, and with the nine veterans of last years team, the chances seem very favorable for a first-elass squad this springea team of which Miami may well be proud. 122 Base Ball Team 1905 Charles F.

The basket ball season for 1905-1906 is 0Ve1 and as far as 'Miaini is eonee1ned it was a successful one. Although our team was not phenomenal, it represented the Unive1sity in a Way satis- factory both to the Board Of Cont101 and t0 the student body. In yea1s past this branch of athletics has not been under uni- Ve1sity ju1isdieti0n. Last May that body voted to assume charge of this phase of college sport and to place it 011 a level with base ball and foot hall. Ca11011 Heel, 08, was Chosen as manage1-- the f11st under the new 1egi111eewhile J. Stanley Emerson, ,08 was elected .eaptain, and with the material at hand they went to w01k to give Miami a winning team. Unselfish devotion to the team s welfa1e 0n the part of the management and Professor Stone and worke-hard workeon the pa1t 0f the players overcame many Obstacles. As a 1esu1t the Miami basket ball team won a maje1ity of its collegiate games. The annual Kentucky trip resulted 1n our winning two out Of the three games played. As for neXt yea1 the team loses its guards, but 0the1wise it will be intact. With the 01d squad and with the new mate1ia1 0f the ineomino classes from which to choose the management ought to develop a team much bette1 than the one which 1ep1esented Miami this yea1. 128 ,Varsity Basket Ball Team 1905-1906.

The ancient Greeks early coming to a realization Of the opportunity which games or competitive athletic contests give for the development of the most perfect and symmet1iea11y formed bodies in the early . beginning of their history instituted and maintained the great athletic contests Of which we have heard so much. In certain 1espeets we moderns must acknowledge the superiority of the ancients and we can, with especial propriety, recognize the Greeks of historic times as being worthy of emulation in the matter of athletics. The sports 0f the Greeks were essentially those pertaining to track and field. A track meet offers an opportunity for the development of a great many different kinds of athletic ability, and from the spectators point of View 110 other athletic event can compare with it. The contests are spectacular and exciting. Everything can be plainly seen and the widely differing Character of the various events serves to sustain the interest. Track athletics have not been receiving their proper share of attention here at Miami, this no doubt beinq due to the fact that for several years we have not engaged in intercollegiate eon- tests. Consequently the incentive for great effort along; this line Of athletic work has been lacking and the meets have not been altogether satisfactory. It is to be hoped that the policy inaug- urated this year Of having a dual meet with another college will 132 revive and stimulate the interest in track athletics, and that they will br1ng out the splend1d athlet1o ability which is latent 1n the student body and wh1oh under the direction of Professor Stone ought, and certainly W111, give to Miami one of the best track teams in the State. The annual 1ndoor at111et1o carnival held on Thursday, March eighth, was one of the best athletic meets ever held at this Univer- sity. At no time could one be certain to just whom the three meda1s were to be given. Boyd, captain of the track team, was awarded the gold meda1. The silver trophy was won by Hildebolt, and the bronze by Kaye. M1a1n1 was very ored1tab1y represented 1n the A. A. U:1ndoor meet he1d at Cincinnati on the tenth of March by Markley, our sprinter, who won a close third 1n the 60 yard dash, to Hahn, ohamp1on of America, and Larson of Oh1oago. In doing so he defeated a number of the crack sprinters of the country. With our splendid athletic equ1pment and the best of facil- 1t1es for outdoor tra1n1ng, w1th a great. athlete and train er to direct and advise, and w1th the 1noent1ve given to hard and intelligent tra1n1ng by the fact that our athletic reputation is at stake it is hard to see why M1a1n1 will not forge to the front 1n track athletics and win for herself an enviable reputation among the colleges of the State. We have no doubt that she W111. W. A. T. 133 134 The Track Team Clinton D. Boyd ..... r .............................. Captain William A. Trimpe ................................

For the first sixteen years its meetings were held in the 100m of Prof. Annon, instructor 1n Mathematics and Natural Philosophy. This is now the class 100m of P10f.P0we11. In 1837 the Union Society split into two divisions. The name of the society formed by the withdrawing members was Miami Hall Society and held its meetings in what is now the class 100111 of Prof. Feeney. These two societies were united again May 18,1842,under the name Miami Union. The constitution then formed was in force up to the year 18684a few amendments being the only change made in it. It was shortly after this union that the Miami Union obtained the room now known as Miami Union Hall, and which it has occupied ever since. In 1856 the library had 1,420 volumes, costing $77 6. This magnificent library, for a college literary society, was largely disposed of by selling part of the books and some were placed in the college library, and some yet remain on the s001ety1s shelves. Rev. Bishop, 111st president of Miami University, and Dr. William McGuffey were the 111st honorary members- In 1835 Henry Clay, and in 1860 Hon. Benjamin Harrison and Hon. M11- t0n Sayler were elected honorary members. But the two latter had been active members of Miami Union during their college days, and President Harrison s signature can now be found . appehded t0 the records of this society when he was its president. The Miami Union continued to be a strong society up to its discontinuance in 1872. The records of 1868 show a cash balance of $256. The society was revived again in 1884. The records of 1890 show the names of Prof. R. M. Hughes, L. O. Lantis, E. B. Finch, 0n the membership 1011, and those of D1. Hepburn, Prof. Snyder, Hon. J. B. Foraker 0n the honorary 11st. Since its re-organization in 1884, the society fluctuated from strength at times to weakness at others. It has been discontinued two 01 three times for about a year each time. This was partly due to the small attendance at college. But since the attendance has greatly increased in 0111 University within the last three 01 four years, Miami Union has shown itself strong in interest and numbers, and our society is now in such a growing condition that we confidently predict for it a useful and successful future. 0. A. A. 144 History of Liberal Arts Club Only a few years ago the girls of Miami were few and far between,' their college life was limited, and, in fact, was hardly college life at all. But as the number of girls increased it became possible to form some sort of a society. On J anuary 16, 1903, thirteen girls met at Lewis Place, then the home of Miss Mary Covington, and before they parted the Lib- eral Arts Club came into existence. It was at first merely a social Club with the aim of having a good time and adding some college life to the schedule of the itMiami Girlfi As the club grew its main Object became to make it the same to the girls as the Erodelphian and Miami Union Literary Socie- ties were to the boys. From that time the Club grew in numbers and dignity until at present it is one of the permanent societies of the University. In previous years it has been only Open to girls of the Senior, J unior and Sophomore classes, but this year it seemed only right to Open it to all of the Liberal Arts Girls, consequently we have a membership of fifty. Another feature of advancement is the regularly planned work. At the beginning of the school year printed programs were gotten up, containing the entire years work, thus giving the girls an opportunity to be thoroughly prepared when it came their turn to assist. Our work this year has been Very interesting. Outside of the regular work by the members of the club, we have enjoyed from time to time lectures by the different members of the Faculty. The interest in the club grows steadily. The social side is not neg- lected, but in connection with it the literary ability of the girls is brought out. 147 148 The Liberal Arts Club Officers.

Talent journalistic have we, For in but a short half hour Yea, without a moment,s warning, There was written such a journal That its equal ld ne,er been heard 0f,- Hadn,t then, nor ever will be, Th0, you search the whole world over. It had all the latest items,-e E,en some news that wasnlt out yet! Talent histrionic have we,- Ask the audience who saw us,e With wide eyes of wonder watched use If our actors, stage, and costumes Were not more than they expected! But one answer can they give you,- llYea, much more than we expectedW Entertaining are our programs, And are listened to with interest When we meet each Friday evening. We have socials once a quarter Which are very much enjoyed. .Let us hope the unknown future Holds for us success still greater Than has yet to our lot fallen. Pleasant has this year been to us,-- Profit giving, well as pleasure. When welve gone forth from Miami, To take up lifels strenuous labors,- When welre tired in mind and body,- When welre downcast and discouraged,- When our thoughts are idly driftingr- Let them often wander backward To our dear old Alma Mater, To our happy days in college, To the times that we Pierians Spent together at Miami.

At the critical period in the studentls life the Y. M. C. A. or the Y. W. C. A. enters as an influence for good, that he or she may be led to a higher and nobler plane of living and to take a stand for the Master. Theaims Of these two great organized forms of Christian activity are too well known to need much explanation or comment. They exist not to replace or displace the church, but rather to supplement it by emphasis on the sal- vation of young people, and by bringing to Christ those Who other- wise might have been lost. They stand not so much for the doc- trinal as for practical Christianity. Flexible enough to meet all conditions, they stand iirm for the uplifting of man and the instill- ing into the hearts of all the spirit of the Galilean. Locally both the Young Menls and the Young Womenls Chris- tian Associations have prospered in the year that has just gone. Mr. Arthur H. Parmelee, a graduate of Beloit, was called last fall to be the first General Secretary of the Y. M. C. A. at Miami. 'Under his guidance every branch of the work, every department of the organization, has gained strength. For the iirst time in years the Association has been active and Vigorous, and already has made rapid strides in the right directionathe production of a higher and better type of manhood among the men of the uni- versity. Mr. Parmeleeis splendid personality has done much to emphasize the manliness of Christianity and now every phase of college life, every fraternity, club, society-in fact, every student activity is represented in the Y. M. C. A. The Young Womenis organization has just closed the most successful year in its his- tory. In spirit and in numbers it has grown until its potential- ity for good here among us is well nigh inealeulable. In both organizations mission and Bible study classes have been begIIn. , At present the total number of students in such courses is about two hundred and twenty-five. Gratifying as the success of both Associations during the current year has been, we are pleased to believe that their influence for right in years to come will not wane, but rather Will wax greater, until every one in the entire student body shall take his stand for J esus Christ and His King- dom. 161 162 Young Men,s Christian Association ARTHUR PARMALEE ........

MYERS Music Department The Music Department of Miami Univers1ty has a two fold 0bjeet:F11st,to provide a general education 111 music for students 111 the College of Liberal Arts,a11d; Seeond,t0 prepare students of the N ormal College to teach music equally as well as they teach other subjects 111 the public school curriculum. The Orchestra and the Classes 111 Harmony, Compositien and History of Music are organizations belonging to the College of. Liberal Arts,wh11e the Choral Society and Glee Clubs are com- posed of students representing all the colleges and departments in the University. It is recognized that as literature represents the best poetic and dramatic thought of the past and present, so music represents the highest genius and the best social, moral and religious thought in the history of the development of the human race and is, therefore, an inheritance of value equal to any art or science in our educational system. It is not so much the aim of the department to develop the finished artist, as it is to give the student that Which 1s 0f the most educational value 111 music and Which goes farthest toward developing the best powers which lie Within the individual. In addition to the training of elementary teachers, a course is provided for special teachers of music 111 public schools and for public school music supervisors. The object of this course is to provide those preparing to teach and supervise music 111 the pub- lic schools the training necessary for a clear comprehension of the various educational systems, the recognized educational values of the various subjects employed and particularly that of music and its relation to the child. To present the best methods of organizing and carrying 011 the work throughout a graded system of public sehools,prese11t111g and adapting the subject to the development of the child as he passes from grade to grade. The demand for public school music supervisors, Who are conversant With educational prine1p1es and Who knew how to present and teach music accordingly, is greater than the supply. . 169 Miami University Orchestra Third Yeary SHILO SHAFFER MYERS ...... . ............. , ................

DAVIS The Manual Training Department As a factor in the growth of the University during the past year a Department of Manual Training has been added. The work is under the direction of Mr. H. A. Davis, Who received his technical training at Purdue University and latenmade a special study of manual training and was graduated from Teachersl Col- lege of Columbia. For a number of years previous to coming to Miami Mr. Davis was in charge of the pattern making and forging 0f the Haekley Manual Training School at Muskegon,eMiehigan. The workshop has been installed in a eommodious and Well lighted room in the basement of the East Wing of the main build- ing. Ten double benches with accompanying sets of tools, have been provided, thus accommodating a class of twenty students. In addition to the regular workshop practice reeitations are given on the care and adjustment of woodworking tools, seasoning and working of wood and problems of construction are discussed. Three courses in shopwork are Offered. The work of the pre- paratory students is similar to that given to pupils of a well arranged high school. That given to the Normal students is of a very elementary character and is planned With a View to aid- ing them in their teaching work. The work taken by the Liberal Arts students is of a similar character as the technical shopwork of leading engineering schools, and Will in a measure aid in pre- paring students Who desire to take up the study Of engineering. For the coming year it is expected that a gasoline engine, a band saw and a number of speed lathes Will be installed, thus giv- ing opportunity for artistic wood turning and practical work in . pattern making. The work has proven very attractive during the past year, all classes being filled to the limit. With the mechanical drawing Which is also under the direction of Prof. Davis, in connection With shopwork, a good basis is formed for the development of a course in mechanics or industrial arts and such is one Of the possi- bilities 0f the work in the near future. 185 Miami University Creed I believe in Miami University, mother of mighty statesmen, of great preachers, and useful citizens. I believe in the Alumni and formet students of Miami University as the finest product any American College has presented to the world. I believe in the Faculty of Miami University as a coterie of distinguished scholars of inspiring character. I believe in the students of Miami University as the brightest, best and most promising young men and women that are to be found in any educational institution between the oceans, from Puget Sound to Key West. I believe in the 01d Dormitories, in every class room, in every article of furniture, in every piece of crayon to be found in the institution and in eyery finger mark lingering on the walls to remind us of the generations gone before. I believe in the beautiful old Campus, in every spear of grass, and in every tree within its borders. I believe that the new Miami is worthy of the 01d, and I believe that the Miami 0f the future Will be the greater Miami. I believe that itis written by the flnger of God in the heaven of heavens that Miami University is the greatest institution in existence, world Without end, Amen. Editor-in-Chief LAURENCE W. SWAN Associates FRANK A. RALSTON ROBERT E. PYE WALTER L. STEPHENSON LUTHER D. LAWRENCE Business Manager ELBERT F. SCHWEICKART Assistants BERNARDiC. GAINES ELMER H. HARTLE At last the task of preparing the 1907 ttReeehsiot, is hn- ished. The Board returns to you, who have invested us With the responsibility, the completed volume. We present this book, a record of defeats and Victories, ambitions and realizationsefirst to our classmates of nineteen hundred seven, next to the Student Body and Faculty, and lastly to our Alumni. May you all derive from it something Which Will make you better sons and daughters of Old Miami, and increase your love and veneration for her. 8 The present Senior Class, while J uniors, saw fit to revive the custom of publishing the ttReeensiojl our Miami Annual, a task which had not been undertaken in eleven long years. Much praise indeed should be theirsapraise given ungrudgingly by every friend of the Universityaand much gratitude to them mani- fested by every alumnus and undergraduate in recompense for that class showing suflieient love for its Alma Mater to incur the responsibility and sacrifice necessarily connected with the undertaking. The welcome which was extended to last yearls book, together with the fact that it is an unwritten law for every J unior Class to publish a record of the yearls activities and that we were desirous that in this respect Miami should not fall behind other institutions of higher learning, was deemed a sufficient reason why the Class Of Nineteen Seven should continue the wOrk s0 ably begun by the preceding class. As a rule, it is customary for Annual Boards to devote more or less space in their salutatiens t0 mere apology. We, of this yearls Staff, desire to make our book an exception to the rule. Whatever editorial sins of commission are chargeable to us-be they sins of commission or omission-these must be attributed to our lack of experience and t0 inalterable existing conditions, rather than to any lack of care, discretion or interest on our part. If this book has in it anything commendable, if our volume be at all commensurate with the expenditure of time, money and eEort, if there be any Virtue in the 1907 ttReeensiO, l, we are con- tent. It all has been a labor of love. To do anything that makes for the weal of Miami, or that adds to her welfare and glory, is a labor of love. Such indeed has been our task. The ttReeensioli management wishes to acknowledge its indebtedness to all who have aided in the preparation of this VOl- ume. Especially are we grateful to Miss Robinson, 0f the Fae- ulty, t0 the Sketch Class, to Miss Comstoek i099, and t0 the others 9 who have used both time and talent in the production of our draw- ings. The Board feels thankful for the interest taken by them in this very necessary phase of the work. The drawings are of merit, and therefore much credit should be given them who so liberally have provided the sketches. The management also wishes to acknowledge at this time the many acts of kindness on the part of The Republican Pub- lishing Company and its Manager, Mr. W. L. Tobey. To the Pen- insular Engraving Company, of Detroit, acknowledgment is due for the courtesy shown us in our connection with that firm. It indeed would be diflieult to trace the history of the names of College Year-Books. Suffice it to say that each college and university Chooses its own name for the annual. J ust how these names originate would be an interesting study had we but time to go into the matter. As to the name of our yearly publication, the itReeensioj, it is from the Latin and means ttthinkihg backward? The people who hrst chose the name showed rare wisdom and taste in the selection of the title for the book which, in the years to come will make us tithink backwardll to the dear old. days that are gone. Our readers will notice that this book is numbered Vol- ume Five. Since the ttReeensioil gotten out by the Class of 1906 was numbered Volume Three, all will wonder, perhaps, wherein lies the discrepancy. The Board of last year, no doubt was ignorant of the fact that it was in 1867 the first Miami iiRe- eensio7l appeared. A copy of it is preserved in the archives of the University, and few people are aware of its existence. Vol- umes Two and Three appeared in 1893 and 1894 respectively. Logically last years publication should have been Volume Four. So in order to be authentic, we have numbered our production Volume Five. 10 Mr. Swan, the editor, is primarily a man with a temper. He is absolutely fearless of consequences in saying and publishing what he thinksein short-he is extremely out spoken. He is both sarcastic and ironical to a markedly unpleasant degree and is positively merciless in his criticism of one and all. Mr. Swan has the Local Department of iiThe Miami Studenti7 and it is his intention to devote the whole last issue to those who have not yet seen our Business Manager, Mr. Schweickart. We therefore trust this timely warning will be appreciated. Mr. Schweickart, Manager of the 1907 ttRecensioi? is a physical giant. He stands six feet one and weighs one hundred and seventy pounds. He is an athlete, strong in running and staying qualities. Throughout the entire year that has passed Mr. Schweickart has per- fected himself in the offensive points of Jiu Jitsu, boxing and wrestling. He is therefore prepared to meet all those who may be in arrears with their subscriptions or advertisements. We earnestly hope that everybody concerned will take notice of this admon- ition and suggestion. 11 January J anuary January F ebruary February March March March M arch May May June June June June June June June June June June June June June June June June Iune .Tuly july July September September November December January March April May June June University Calendar 1906 3 ............................. , ..................................

It com- prises all the men of all the faculties. It has no offices, n0 constitution, n0 program, no set time or place of meeting, n0 dues, n0 duties, n0 ceremony. Its aim is to promote a more intimate acquaintance among members of the differ- eIit faculties, and to create a general sympathy and interest in the work of each department. The club usually assembles twice each term on some convenient even- ing, once in closed session and once in open meeting. To the latter are invited the ladies of the faculties and the Wives of the members. Some topic of inter- est to all departments is discussed or some one department makes known the latest advances and newest methods in its field. A large part of the evening is devoted to social intercourse. Dr. G. P. Benton Dr. A. D. Hepburn Dr. E. E. Brandon Dr. W. A. Eckels Dr. J. A. Culler Prof. R. M. Hughes Dr. A. G. Hall Prof. B. J.

There have been so many Changes and improvements that a brief explanation is fitting. The Main Building with a low wing is shown. This west wing was the first building of Miami University to be built. It stood until 1868 when it was displaced by a new one. The second building to be erected was the professors house, which is seen in the middle foreground 0f the picture. This building stood near where Brice Hall now stands and was first occupied by Dr. Robert H. Bishop, first president of Miami University. The third build- ing to be constructed was the central portion of the Main Build- ing and this dates from 1822 to 1824. This central part still stands and is occupied by the Library, the Literary Halls, Dr. Eeklesi, Dr. Bentonis, Dr. Hepburrfs, Dr. PowelPs, Prof. Feeneyis, Dr. Handsehin,s and Dr. Hayis recitation rooms. The square central tower has long since been removed, and the northeast and north- west towers have been built. The Old North and South Dormi- tories, which were completed in 1829 and 1835, respectively, can be seen in the background. 193 In the extreme right of the picture is the old Chemical Lab- oratory with a wood house in front. This Laboratory stood just northwest of the transit pier, and about ten feet distant. The recitations in Astronomy, Natural Philosophy, Geology, etc., as well. as in Chemistry, were held in this building. It served through the services of Professors Scott and Stoddard and was used until 1878. It was destroyed by fire in the summer of 1898. The tranSit telescope pier is still standing on the campus. The Columvar or spire-shaped Lombardy poplars are all gone. The sugar maple, which was planted by Professor William H. McGuffey about 1827 or 1828 is still standing north of Brice Scientific Hall, just north of the gravel walk which runs through the west end of the campus, and just west of the brick walk which leads from the main walk to Brice Hall. At that time Prof. McGuffey, who is the author of the ttMcGuffey Readersi7 was pro- fessor of Latin, French and Hebrew in Miami. University. All the campus west of the board fence which is shown in the foreground was the town commons, and was pastured by the hogs, cattle, horses and geese of the inhabitants of the town. The gate in the fence was located at the point where the main walk and the walk to Brice Hall fork. This part of the campus remained town commons until it was fenced in by order of President George J unkin, in 1842. TT-BUGSH 194 TWO Dreams One. It was a hot sultry night in September. School had opened but a few days before and what do you think! ' Not a single one of my last years girls had returned! Not even my Miami girlemy co-ed-had come back to me. I had spent all my money except hfteen cents and my check had not yet arrived from home. No wonder I was blue. In a depressed frame of mind, then, I wandered into Baderls. Having nothing else to do I ateatill he wouldnlt let me Charge any more. Slowly I started home, and after much time, it seemed to me, I got there and went straight to bed. Naturally enough I dreamed a dream. Brice Hall had burned down during the Summer. Very few students-new or old-had returned to Miami and there was an air of gloom and desolation all about the place. Hepburn Hall was only half occupied, room there being at a discount. The Betas and Dekes had voluntarily relinquished their charters while the Phis and Sigs had died a natural death. The non-Frats rejoiced in the ruins of the one-time powerful combination. Not a Frat man held offices. The Main building was falling almost in decay, for the State had refused us a single cent. Besides Captain Lybargerls second bill had just passed. Most of the faculty had been called away or had resigned to hunt for better posi- tionsf CaptainStone toothless, bald and bent, hobbled about telling open mouthed Freshies of better days Nwhen Miamer was run according to his idearsfi' Vernon Hill had married and had gone back to Middletown. Ralph Storey combined the oflices formerly held by Doctor Myers, Vernon Hill and Peter Bruner. He also occasionally led chapel, now held twice a day. A new order of Bishops made out reports. Fat Douglass occupied the sofa of Bio- logy tThe Chair of Biology was too smalD. He served on the Board of Con- trol, directed the destinies of the Barbs and occasionally issued commence- ment Literature. Barbs ran at random over territory formerly held sacred to Greeksethe Western and College. Every man belonged to the Y. M. C. A. e-there were only fifty. All the rest were of the co-educational persuasion. A terrible storm had defaced the Lower Campus. It no longer served for nature study and Botany purposes. Glenn Britton was head of the Econom- ics department. His most remarkable contribution to the Science was that of proving from the Miami faculty that the standard of living does not decrease as the size of families increases. Old Dr. Powell still held sway in the Phil- osophy Room. The glass jar of brains was still at his disposal. Dr. Hall now bald but bearded lulled his children to sleep with the Logarithm Lullaby. Dr. Hughes, Dean of the College of Liberal Arts, had a library of old and new Senate decrees, the result of his Honor System. Dr. Lantis had long since re- signed from the care of the Preps. His place was filled by Miss Logan-still IVliss. Dr. Benton had been taken away from the University and tincidentallyy from life by the failure of the Sites bill to pass in 1906. A plague had deci- mated old Oxford in the year 1908. Among its Victims were the Rookies. As president of Miami ruled Murray Sheehan and as Dean of Women presided Ada Belle Koontz. That was too much. I woke up. 195 Two. I had no more than stepped off the 4:27 train into the Union Depot when all my Fraternity brothersethe whole crowd was baCk-told me me that the attendance bid fair that year to reach two thousand and that the legislature had, in special session, put us on the permanent tax levy for one million annually. All the fraternities and sororities were now in their own homes. In one week there was to be a great Pan-Hellenic. I walked down through the campus and saw twenty new buildings being hnished up. Among them were the chapel, the Myers conservatory, the Normal recitation hall, an Academy building, an Electrical and an Engineering Department, a Business College, a Girlis Gymnasium and an Administration Building. The rest of the build- ings looked like laboratories and dormitories. The College band on the Grand Balcony of the new conservatory was welcoming new students. Ox- ford College and Western girls unwatched by chaperons mingled freely with the students from the Varsity. The faculty now numbered one hundred and lifty. Everyone of the old Professors was Head of his Department, with sev- eral adjunct and subordinate professors under him. Across the way from Lewis Place were the lights of the homes of Delta Zeta and Phi Taue-now however, Kappas and Thetas respectively. The old foot ball rules had been reissued, and under them, the teams Chances were favorable for the Champion- ship of the state. An old man hobbled up and grabbed me by the hand, and when he said IIHel-lth I knew it was old Artie Parmelee, whose life had been devoted to Miamiis Y. M. C. A. and whose popularity was attested by the splendid new Association Building and the enrollment, including every man in the university. There u as an air of marked liberality about the school. I went into the splendid new Administration Building and was greeted by the president, a little rotund man with iron gray hai1.Con1e eeeee , said he, after the customary salutations and greetings, there is to be a joint Senior-Faculty dance tonight in Old Herron Gymnasium, wonlt you come and bring AAA e? llBy the way how is she.PH This, too, was too much. for me, so I woke up to find that I had been dreaming. 196 A Diary MONDAYsHave been out walking with Bliss. Guess I711 have to be a Sig until I die. Have a date with him for tomorrow evening to go to the Lecture. Fine business-this having two men. Between them I get to go to all doinis. TUESDAY-Bo and I are going to march around this afternoon. I thought I. liked Bliss best yesterday but now me for Urbana. We discoverede-Bo andIethe dandiest place, Bo called it his Summer Home. Wish it were summer for then it would be warmer out there. Had hard time keeping warm. Later-Bliss has just left me. We went to hear some old boy hand out words. He didnit listen good to me. O slush, whats the use of saying which one I do like best. WEDNESDAYeI had to weave baskets up in training this afternoon, but Beta man and I got to walk anyhow. Me for John as the score stands now. I have so much society business that I canlt attend frat meetings and studying. Anyhow studying doesnit appeal to me. Oh, scissors! Bo and I just cut up this afternoon. Bliss was at the Hall tonight. He was there with the goods. He looks good to me. Tonight he made Kenyon look like-Urbana. THURSDAY-Bliss and the Red-Head drove one of NageYs skates this after- noon. But back to Hillsboro with his Glennlets. Iim fond of B0 today. Its Bois turn to come to the Hall tonight. I tossed a penny to see which one I like best and it came out forty-four times for John Conklin and forty-three for John Bliss. The penny then rolled behind the radiator. FRIDAY-I m almost too sleepy to write this dope tonight. Blister met me at the Brice Hall door and we went f01 a walk instead of going to Pier- ian. Lit always does make me weary. Learning missed a walk with me. Guess he was sleeping. Don t see much to love in that youth anyway. SATURDAYeVVhat do you think! Decided I like Bo best today. Thought came to me during frat meeting. Afterwards Jack and I made for the Summer Home. But in the evening Bo was a little slow in phoning and so Bliss beat him for the long Saturday night date. I donit care, Bliss and I had much sport. SUNDAYsI saw them both at church today. They both look good. Answered a letter from Kenyon today. Heis the man for me. Later both the men walked home with me. They,re a team anyhow. People have a great deal to worry them in which I like best. My, but I wish 'it were Monday! Dull as a goat tonight. No more diarying for me tonight. Which one will I dream about? Ad Inlinitum.

VVouldnit I have been in a great old mess if Gretchen from the IiWesternfi Genevieve from IIThe Collegeii and Carolyn, ye fair-haired lico-edf were all going to be there? But girls here in Oxford are social necessities-entities indispensable to the fabric of a studentis social naturea that is, from September till June. A fellow Would die of ennui if he didnit have a convenience at each institution. The fellows of old times say they used to have besides these three, girls out in town and girls at WThe Retreat? 0 me! oh my! Thereis where Iid land if I had to rush five girls. V Three women are quite enough to fill my dates. So its to be Carolyn tonight. Gen. told me the last time I was out riding with her that she was going down home to a party for tonight. Nice party makes it nice for me. And Gretch told me the last time I met her out that her mother was coming to Visit her today and that shed have to cut out tonightis reception. VVhee again! The biggest joke of all is that I have a frat pin on each girl without the others suspecting it. Each thinks she is Chief High Grand IIITii with me. I donit care which one, only I donit want them three at a time. tCarl, his roommate, entersl. . Carl Hey, old boy; dressing for the Iitlo, this evening? Which one is it to be; one, two or all three? H-One only, thanks to Allah, Its Miss University tonight, as the score board stands now. CeNice work!

Thatis the deuce of these func- tions that haul in the Seminaries as well as our own ,Varsity. Many a poor Club will sweat blood before this nightis over, Iim thinking. H-I shudder to think of it. It will give me grand gobs of joy to watch those other unfortunates like Leonard from the Potato Piis and Pie Crammer Johnson, whose matrimonial mixups will be their ruination tonight.

H--I canlt stay at home. For I have to keep those girls separated. They will be attracted to each. other by their frat pins and PM have to explain to each girl which of you fellows has pins on the other two. Iill bluff it out some way.

I was afraid that maybe you would be vitally interested elsewhere tonight and that I should not be so fortunate as to even see you. HwGoodness no! tLie No. Zl But let,s dispense with the names Mr. B. and Miss H., now that the Fac is nowhere to be found. They think 202 ,2. a welre merely speaking acquaintances. VVould1W they snort if they knew Iid met you out twice every week. . . . Oh heavens! tSees Genevieve going pastl I wonder if she heard me say that? GLeWhat did you say, Harold? H-I said that Evans heard Miss Avery wasnit coming tonight. UXn idea strikes himl I say, Gretchen, I must go over to the orchestra now. Iim playing in it now, and they are about to play a piece now. Will you excuse me? - Gr.-VVhy, Harold. I didnlt know you played? I HwYes. I play 2nd Violin now. Joined this week. ITO himselfy I hope Dr. Myers will let me do it. ITO Gretcheny Goodbye, Iill see you after the next piece. ITO himselfy I don,t think! I don,t think Gen. heard me or even saw me. Here's hoping so. Now to liX it with Dr. Myers. tGoes over toward the orchestra and calls Dr. Myers to himj HaDoctor, Iim in trouble. Yoifll be a friend of mine for life if you will help me out. I see- you have a vacant chair among the second Violins. All I want you to do is to let me sit there, hold a fiddle and make believe. IIll rent one of those violins, and he, whose fiddle it is, will be glad for a rest. I used to toy with one when I was a small boy. Iill promise not to make much no1se. Dr. M-I don,t know what trouble youire in, but I711 grant your request. Don,t drown us all out though. IAt the end of the next selection Carl comes upj CsVVhat on earth are you doing up in the orchestra? H-wItis a bluff, old man. Sort of a City of refuge. When the atmosphere becomes too heated, I head for the baud. C-Capital, old boy. Youire quite a general. But I came to tell you Gen is waiting for you in the eloeution room down stairs. You go down to her and Iill rush around and talk to Gretchen. tHarold goes to Y. M. C. A. room where he finds, to his horror, Carolyn and Genevieve in conversationl H ITO hi1nselD-Breaker No. 13. This will never do. Here,s where I draw on my imagination. How do you do, people. By the way, Carolyn, I saw the Dean upstairs and she wants to see you upstairs on important busi- ness. ITO himselfl A temporary relief anyhow. The Dean won,t be here till late and sheill spend half an hour looking for her. ITO Genevievel Ah, Genevieve, all alone? I have been looking all over for you. GenaYes, I thought yould be here. Mr. De Goods said yould be down after the next piece. I see youlre playing in the orchestra. How dandy! I dote on musicians. Harold, do you know I was just talking to the sweetest, dearest little girl that had on a Fi'ye Tappa Keg pin just like mine; and, do you know it is the funniest thing, I asked her whose it was, and she said: Mr. Blufftonlsfl Just then you came up. . H tgroaninglaEraOm-Oh yes, it belongs to Harry Bluffton from the K. U. Chapter. Same name as mine. Bet you thought it was mine, didn,t you? Good joke on you Gen. - GenaYes, I did, but I feel much happier about it now. H tTo himselfyaThis is too warm ! ITO heril I hear the orchestra tuning up. I must go. I'll see you in fifteen minutes out on the steps. tTo himselD Not if I can help it. tHe goes up stairs and meets CarolynJ CansThank you, Harold. I saw the Dean and she did want too see me. Wants me to help with the refreshments. I thought you were joking when 203 you told me about it, but I guess you werenlt. Wonlt you help, too? HaNo thank you. 111 see you in a few minutes. The refreshments wonlt take long. They never do. C-No, not long. Goodbye. H tTo himself as he goes up to the orchestra lQArld lo, the Syrians encompassed them about on every side? HS minutes elapsej tHarold goes down to meet Genevieve on the stesz A chorus of voices tas he approacheslmAh, here he comes now. Maybe he can tell us. A H tSees Gen., Gretchen and Carolyn all talking togetherJ My day has come! Ilm in the sear and yellow leaf. Gen.-Harold, justlthink, we are all three Five Tappa sisters. And our frat pins are all alike. Isn,t that funny? H tTo himselfl-It may be for you. No boy, not for me. Gen. tcontinuingyaEach seems afraid to tell whose pin she is wearing. You know all the Five Tappa girls. Tell us about it, wonlt you? H lSeeing something radical must be done, faintsy Thud ! l ! Gen., Carolyn and Gretchen all scream. Act ends in great confusion. ACT III Scene: Same as Act 1. Time: 10:00 P. M. Harold trevivingy-Girls, troubles, bubbles! tsees Carl stooping over himy Why, old man, what am I doing home. Is the reception over? How did it all end? Am I able to stand the shock? tho carried me home? Tell me all this minute. ' Carl-Be quiet, and TH tell you all. Take some of Jakey,s best and youill feel better. There, that's enough. Leave some for me. Well, you see, tgurgle, gurgley your nerves tgurgley were so wrought up that you up and fainted. Um tputs the empty bottle on the window silly. Each of your sweethearts wanted to hold your head till you came round to consciousness. They got so mad at each othera-each at the other twoaso mad that they all went tearing out of the room and left you to me. But as soon as the others march up stairs in comes Carolyn. She seemed to be the only one that cared enough about you to see if you were ill and to see if she couldnlt help you in some way. She,s the girl for you, Kid. Stick to the eo-ed, Hal after this. Well, the frat pin enigma is yet unsolved by them, neither does one know the name of the other two. So your triad of beauties is still triangular. Youlre a trump. No one else would have had the nerve to faint. The reception is over and yOulre safe for another year. HalaWell. here's to Carolyn, Carl, sole queen henceforth. C-wCongratulations, old man!

IFirst Prize Poem, Student Contest, June, 9OSJ I The rain now falls and dismal droops the day, A mantle cold and clinging, come, I know, To hang forever and to hide the sun away, It hangs upon the sorrowing trees, that bow; They echo mournfully my thoughts, and Hing Their bleeding arms in grief, as Death, cold, wan, So ruthlessly bares each as though it were a thing But lit to perish and be left a skeleton. II Again the rain-eas Springtimek birth draws nighe But now it is a silvery mist-veil moves Itwixt me And yon dim smiling hills far from the Sky It must as Life comes to the expectant tree, Which soon in blessed motherhood puts forth Her myriad buds; see, the sun has come again, And bending low in majesty towards earth Has painted her a halo 0n the passing rain. MURRAY SHEEHAN, ,08. eHURRAH FOR MIAMI?

CHORUS Hurrah for Miami! hurrah, boys, hurrah! Hurrah for our own Almamamma! Her banners are gleaming in scarlet and white, She's the pride of the Xyest Old Miami.

Miami, we love thee, for what thou hast done, For the record thou showeth of victories won. Thy pages of histiry are beaming with light; All honor be paid to the red and the white. The truest, the noblest and best in the land, Ever ready and eager to heed thy command, Bearing onward thy emblems so noble and pure, From danger hath kept thee both safe and secure. And now thou hast risen in majesty tall; May thy walls from their height never crumble and fall Thy sun is yet rising, thy morning still here Approaches its noon with a sky bright and clear; And thou in thy glory doth speak to the world, Thy trumpets resounding, thy banners unfurled, A Hag not of pretense but worthy instead Where mingles, so nobly, the Vt hite with the red. Miami thou pioneer school of the West Up the mountain of fame shall thou Climb to the crest; And there r ith thy banner unfurled t0 the sky, Resolved fOr the world to do something or die; Around thee shall gather thy sons in their might Prepared to uphold thee in justice and right; And then thy brave motto iito be not to seemf Ev,ry heart true and noble vtill surely esteem. Still onward to glory, thy journey prolong Alumni and students re-echo the song Ever pledged to each other, as one to unite That Miamiis future may ever be bright For thy struggles and conflicts have not been in vain And thy record must never be dimmed by a stain In joy or in sorrow may our song ever be Dear old Miami our hearts clingr to thee.

Its foundation was laid in 1792, where, while the Ohio Valley was almost an untrodden wilderness, the Congress of the United States reserved a tract of land to be located between the two Miami rivers, to be devoted to the support of an institution of learning. This tract was located by the State Legislature in the year 1803, and consisted of a township in Butler county, Ohio. In 1809 the Legislature passed an act establishing the University. The whole country at that time was heavily forested and almost a wilderness, consequently the advance of population was slow, so that the year 1816 had come, before the first school of the Uni- versity was opened, The University proper was organized in 1824, and the first class graduated in 1826. From the beginning Miami University stood for thoroughness and high standards and drew into its classes a high order of talent, which explains why there are so many distinguished members in its alumni, viz: the great War Governors of Ohio, Indiana, Michigan and Illinois; Ex-President Harrison, Prof. David Swing, Sam Galloway, Hon. Whitelaw Reid, William Dennison, Caleb B. Smith, John W. Noble, Theophilus Dickey, Benton J. Hall, Murat Halstead, Dr. W. C, Gray, Bishop John Walden, and many others. Such was the influence of the college, direct or indirect, that Ohio was for a time the leading State in the Union in the number and ability of her generals, jurists, legis- latures, diplomats, orators, educators, ministers, lawyers, and physicians. In fact Miami graduates have filled every important part in the country,s service from the Presidency down. What Miami has done for the country in a past generation, she is doing now for the future. She stands for equal development and discipline of the mental and moral, as well as the physical powers, thus perfecting the highest type of manhood. The magnificent campus of sixty-five acres is studded here and there by its splendid buildings such as Brice Scientific Hall, furnished with the most modern apparatus and facilities for teaching science; Herron Gymnasium, equipped with all the latest and most improved gymnastic contrivances. The Main Building, which is 250 feet long, includes the beautiful chapel, recitation rooms and offices, and the two dormitories for young men, which have recently been fitted up with all the latest im- provements. The Library occupies a part of the second floor of the Main Building and consists of some 20,000 volumes, among which many rare old editions may be found. The three departments of the University, the Academy, the Normal School, and College of Lib- eral Arts, afford all the advantages obtainable at the best universities of the land. While advantages of learning at Miami are of the highest quality, it is possible to obtain them at a moderate expense, as the tuition is free and the cost of living reasonable. The present administration maintains the policy which has dominated the school from its infancy. For catalog, address PRESIDENT GUY POTTER BENTON, Oxford, Ohio.
