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

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

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
