T is not our purpose to dissertate here at any length upon the aims and purposes of this year's Recensio. The purposes of the Recensio are too well defined for thateto present a complete and an accurate record of the hap- penings of the college year, and to present that material in as attractive form as possible. We realize that there exist certain rules and precedents which the very nature of the book compels us to follow. We have had to contend, therefore, with making this volume of the Recensio too much like all those that have gone before. 9 Nor do we claim originality. The truism that sieverything in the world is old can be no more applicable in any place than in a college annual. We have attempted original thought only to find that years ago in some other college, some poor editor had embodied that same thought in practically the same way. . The better features of former volumes of the Recensio we trust we have not forgotten. Oncqming classes will blot out the mistakes of this edition and may each succeeding Recensio be better than this. If we have succeeded in reflecting through this medium in some way the life of Miami, if we can feel that we have made a Vivid panorama of the college year in all its different interests and phases--our work of the year is well worth while. And so we present to you, the friends of Miami, Without apology and for its true worthethe Eleventh Volume of our University Annuale-The Recensio of Nineteen Twelve. i 1824 1841 1844 1845 1849 1854 1854 1866 1871 1885 1888 1891 1899 1899 1902 1909 1911 1mm MIMI Robert Hamilton Bishop .................. 1841 George Junkin .......................... 1844 John McArthur 1Pro temJ ................ 1845 Erasmus D.

D. Born near Wooster, 0., April lst, 1844. Died in Christ's Hospital, Cincinnati, 0., December 6th, I91 i. Eleven years of faithful service to Old Miami as a member of the Board of Trustees, made the death of Dr. David R. Silver a real loss to the University. Dur- ing the years of his connection with Miami, Dr. Silver worked devotedly for the ada vancement of her interests, allowing no sacrifice of professional interest or personal comfort to interfere with his devotion to the good of his adopted college. As a man, he was uncompromising in his ideals of right and wrong and entertained none but the most exalted conceptions of public and private life. Dr. Silver was born near Wooster, Ohio, April Ist, 1844, and was reared on a farm. Graduating from Jefferson Medical College, Philadelphia, in I868, he shortly after settled in Sidney, Ohio, where he has Since resided and practiced his chosen profession. Death came following an operation which he had undergone in Chrisfs Hospital, Cincinnati. His friends who knew him best loved him most. In him Miami lost a faithful friend whose services have always been of inestimable value. I MKIIIIIHII u lmmm- w I II Ill Hm ' III Rgfws 2' W J WIIIIMI MHN' II hf! AMI 'h I 0 I I I. 'III I . Cw, .

Heck Treasurer, Osa Jean Jones Historian, Elenor F. Galster Esther Bridge Frank Sowers Senate Representatives Wallace Prugh, Q A t0, Camden, Ohio. Walter, as he is called on the farm, is a queer mixture of bashfulness and nerve. In the classroom he recites in a low, quiet, authoritative voice and the profs, being convinced, give him good marks. In football he talks a blue streak. Sweetland said he was the headiest man on the team. Could he have paid a bigger compliment? Ruth Cameron, IT A K, Lima, Ohio. Rufus is another fortunate co-ed who has caught a man. She doesn't let that bother her now and so attends to her studies diligently. She is of a very sunny disposition and she lets all her radiance shine on you if you mention the magic word, iiHalsey. James Earl Pruden, cb A xII, Sidney, Ohio. ARMSaa shot gun sinistre over a hunting-coat, brun, on a field verte. In fall he may be seen roaming over the surrounding hills, a gun on his shoul- der and the blood-lust in his eye. He says that he hunts not for the game but goes merely to commune with Na- ture. J.Ear1 has never taken Prof. Cate's course in Argumentation and Debating, but they say that he is a wonder when it comes to expounding the rights of a free-born American citizen. This is Pat, a Dutchman with an Irish name. He is noted for his genial, lov- ing disposition and his hatred of sare casm. He claims as his native heath, the City of Bellefontaine, that town which has sent to Miami so many tal- ented artists and hard students. Needa less to say, Pat has the common char acteristics of his fellow townsmen. But even if Huston cannot use sarcasm, it must be admitted that he is an accomy plished artist and musician. Wm. L. Huston, CD A OD, Bellefontaine, O. Zola Zell, K T 2, Miamisburg, Ohio. We have often been puzzled over whence came that look of demureness which Zola wears as a Fixture. The serenity with which she bears herself would lead us to believe that she took herself quite seriously. But know her and you will learn that that is not the case. Perhaps Zola is only one of the negative influences that may be exerted by this place. Demure, sweet, studi- ous little Freshman, she entered three years ago and hasn't changed a par- ticle. Howard Badgley, Cincinnati, Ohio. Badgley is one of the football squad who made his MM this year and is not ashamed to let other people know it. He is a star in every subject he ever took. He can work Mathematics while reciting German and prepare a Physics lesson while taking notes in Philosophy. He is very bright. He does not need to be told it. Holbrook Thayer Ashton, 2 X, Oxford, Ohio. Holbrook, Buster, or Prep, is not so handsome as the average Miami pro- duct, but the keenness of his intellect puts an edge to his expression both verbal and facial. He has long per- suaded himself that a glorious future awaits in the realm of Math., but by investigation it has been learned that he has failed to convince Dr. Young of the fact. Oh, by the way, Buster, did you ever collect that money for tutor- ing a young lady in Freshman Math. .3 Esther Ann Gaskill, A A A, Greenville, Ohio. One would think that such a prominent member of the high brows would claim Ibsen as her favorite author, but Es calmly announces her preference for Robert W. Chambers. Apparent- 1y a sweet, demure little ladya-in re- ality, this and even more. Not the shy little creature she seemeth but a veritable lion, a fighter thru and thru. Robert Bingham, A K E, Sidney, Ohio. Come, little boy Bingham, blow up your horn, you might as well herald your praises aloft. No one else will. iiWell, people, its, just this wayHe. For heaven's sake, shut up, Bing! Play the thief for awhile and rob youra self of that senatorial tone and atti- tude. In spite of your tendency to selfeworship, Bob, you have lots of ad- mirable qualities. Without you the I912 Recensio could not be the best ever. Didn't you say your chief ambi- tion was to please the professors and keep in with your girl at home? Arthur Santchi, Bluffton, Ohio. Santchi came to Miami an innocent looking little Dutch cherub and altho his appearance now is probably less innocent, his Dutch look is there for- ever. iiAch der Lieber , is the sole repository of the German language in our class. What greater distinction? But Doc Handschinis satellites swear by their star that Santchi's beaming Teutonic iimug creates a greater thirst for Wurzburger and weinerwurzts than his. Georgia Lucas, H A K, Oxford, Ohio. Place a little common sense in a level head, add a little of the iimilk of hu- man kindness, put in a quantity of concentration, mix in the proper proa portions and be sure not to stir. The result will be a Lucas highball. This may be taken any time of the day or night without injury. Try it. We promise that it will not make you feel over hilarious nor will it give you the blues. In fact, it will have no effect whatever. Wesley E. Steiner, Bluffton, Ohio. Coming from a small place, Wesley was early taught to consider small mat- ters seriously. It is easy to imagine, then, his attitude toward himself. He is a hard worker and has never taken the time to try the experiment of for- getting how extremely serious life is. Paul Wolf, A K E, Dayton, Ohio. A member of our menagerie. But what's in a name? When you know iiMacey you are sure there is nothing, for he seemeth, to the ladies at least, as docile as a lamb. Altho a perfect cat Ueminine expression, meaning Hstarni at football, he's not nearly the beast his appellation might imply. A certain few tell us that he's a lion among the wimmens, but youid nev- er suspect it from his actions at Miami. Rumor has it that the shoulder of his dress coat gave evidence of Carmen's Violet, after the Prom. 50? 50? Once or twice she has been heard to speak above a Whisper.

The phonetic spelling instituted by Teddy one. R. changed the ancient French name of uQuellet into the modern Irish iiKelley. Arthur Gee, Cb A OD, Laurenceville, Ill. Ever hear of Laurenceville, 111.? This is the place iiGee calls home. uHaw can be distinguished by his breezy way of walking into difficulties, his love of classroom work, and his fondness for baseball. And barring one other, he can show records in Miami for a longer space of time than any other student and most of the professors. But the end finally comes to all, and Gee will whiz out with the class of 1913. 7x. ofMS- arc: Zoa McGuire, Marion, Ohio. This young lady is spending her first year at Miami. She learned the Phi Delt Whistle before she had been here a week. She takes an active interest in athletics, having been assistant busi- ness manager of the football team dur- ing most of the past season. Charles Weston Walters, Troy, Ohio. Behold this specimen of humanity and then again behold. Can this be our lit- tle Weston, the juvenile of the unpre- possessing appearance and the en- larged cranium? Alas, 'tis true. This youth is a being of great importance ein his own estimation. We predict that some day he will be either a hod- Carrier, demonstrating the mathemati- cal laws of chemistry and physics, or president of Harvard. Robert Garland Taylor, 2 X, Sidney, Ohio. Little, buteoh, pickles! Considering what he accomplishes, iiBob might be several men. Of no particular relig- ious belief, and utterly lacking in con- science, he manages to keep in the good graces of every one. A busy body continually on the alert, Bob ex- pects, with the aid of John V. Pixler, as he stated at the football banquet, to lead the noble sons of Miami to many valiant football contests next fall. If bluff counts for anything, Bob will be a king some day. Jean Jones, K T 2, Patriot, Ohio. Big, fat, jolly, Chief of Police Jones. She isn't bad to look upon, is she? But to hear those Freshies talk, one would think her brow of alabaster. To see her on the war path with villainous cast of countenance, we would not re- cognize her as one of the few, all- around college women in our class. Everything interests her. Her oches are legion and she fills them, too. Jonesy is a down-right, popular girl. Thos. W. Reilley, Q J! P; Swanders, Ohio. Thomas Washington was originally a member of the class of '12. Why he left us, or even why he returned, his- tory saith not. But anyway, he,s here. He says he's German, but we believe he's wrong. Ponder a little and you must conclude that he is a true Turk tpolite name for Irishi. If you want to hear him talk, just ask him that time honored question, iiWhy is a cow? But unless you weigh about 200, you,d better be prepared to iiHy, for he's a bad actor. Lucille Robertson, A A A, Oxford, Ohio. Did you ever see a wee bit of a girl with a pug nose, wearing glasses, walk- ing with Petite Reeves? If you have, this photograph is useless. Thatis Pea titer Robertson. Some of her more dignihed friends call her Lucille, but those that know her better venture iiPetiter. You see, there is beyond the crust of her apparently frozen self, something worth knowing. Would that she might overcome her stiffness and be less conservative. Leonard M. Merrill, Glendale, Ohio. Merrill entered Miami a year late, com- ing here with Sophomore rank. He can be found at all times in Brice Hall where he is taking all the advanced work in Physics and Chemistry offered by the University. He is one of the few real workers in the Junior class. Marie Gillespie, A A A, Hamilton, Ohio. HFor a sunny disposition And a warm heart beating true; For a smile that,s ever ready, Or a cheering word or two, Just try lVlarie.n Never known to be cast down. No, not even at exam time. Mid semes- ters see her grinning just the same. A Tri Delta and sure of sh B K. No won- der she's so happy. Frank Raymond Sowers, St. Marys, Ohio. When we look upon him as he leads our yells, we can not help but wonder whether he is training himself for a teacher of gymnastics or for a barker One could hardly believe that such a quiet, mod- advertising a side-show. est looking youth could be so noisy and violent. But we Who know him can truthfully say that his reticence is only in his looks. Helen Bowman, II A K, d3 B K , Lima, Ohio. iilVliss Bowman , I believe. Not on your life, just plain iiDiddle. A hu- man layer cake with a thick slab of talk and a thin streak of say nothing. Let her be judged by her life's one aim to please iiDanil . And evidently she has succeeded if the little white cross she wears could tell us. Revelle McMicken, A K E, Rawlins, Wyoming. To all ye lovers of the chase. Don't go to Wyoming to hunt. There 'aint no game out there. I and my dog PifHe killed all of the bears a long time ago. ltis hard to believe, but thatis the kind of wild and woolly talk Mick actually indulged in when he entered Miami. But his sojourn at col- lege has rather seemed to prove that manis progress is an advance from the homogeneous to the heterogeneous. To select a more evolutionary process than Mickis college career suggests, would be difficult. John C. Hauenstein, 0 x1! P, Pandora, Ohio. Pandora, Ohio, is responsible for this blushing and bedimpled youth. What a dickens of a lot it must have on its conscience! iiGenevieve is one of those close harmony Glee Club boys that ought to be prosecuted for fre- quent and unwarranted disturbance of the peace. His wonderful tenor voice and his powers of argumentation early convinced the Hepburn Hall girls that hair pins produced better results than any make of electric curlers. William E. Doeller, q; A 09, Columbus, Indiana. Little Willie, he of the black pompa- dour and the beautiful complexion. To see him strutting up High Street, a stranger might think that he owns the town. But he doesn't. Among his claims to fame are his abilty as a lady fusser and his feats upon the baseball diamond. Fans will long remember his marvelous agility on the base lines. He is also a musician of no mean abily ity. His playing of the bass Viol has caused many an inmate of the college to shed tearseof anguish. Louis C. Werner, A K E, Norwood, Ohio. iiDoc Werner entered Miami as a Sophomore. He is a mighty hunter and can be found in season and out hunting rabbits. They say he killed one once. He has even been known to use his reputation as a hunter as an inducement to get young ladies to go walking With him. We can not vouch for the truth of this last statement, however. Elenora Galster, II A K, cID B K, Urbana, Ohio. . Why, Elenora! This is shocking! When did you ever find time to haveyour picture taken? HFess up now, was it not your chiefest ambition to win a Phi Beta Kappa key? But frankly, yours is not a bad reputation to hold and more of us wish we could hold like records. But just indulge in a bit of philanthropic philosophy and think how much more you could do for the institution, if you only had the nerve to neglect your studies for just a little while. ' said, the better. Robert M. Graham, B 60 H, Sidney, Ohio. Bobby, another product of Sidney, the burg which has sent so many noble L3l sons to Miami. One would never think that beneath his modest, quiet exterior lies the soul of a poet and the mind of a genius. Well, they don't. His only claims to greatness are his high tenor voice and his ability to ens tertain the profs when he is called up- on the carpet. Bob came to us a con- fumed woman-hater, but-the less iiShe wears my Beta pln. Irene Stokes, West Middletown, Ohio. Sub-rosa she is known as Hpussy. Cat- like in all of her actions she glides about the corridors of Hepburn Hall, colliding with people when they least expect her. Irene has the most exten- sive wardrobe of any Hepburn Hall maidens and to date she has been re- presented at every varsity dance on that account. It is hard to tell what the future has in store for you, Irene, but the present surely savors of monot- ony. ' Lucille Moore, Waverly, Ohio. When we think of Lucille we are al- most convinced that modesty in excess is not becoming, even in a woman. Quietly and unpretentiously she moves among us, storing up knowledge in Greek and Latin and perhaps enjoying life in her own sweet way. A certain few have taken trouble to know her and declare their efforts worth while. But Lucille, donit you think it a triHe selfish to keep such a good thing to yourself? Minnie Feltman, covington, Kentucky. Miss Minnie, for we scarcely know her well Henuf to call her by her given name, is one of the few fair damsels who can be charged with desertion L3i t? i. In this case the Western is the accuser and Miami the seat of the refugee. As yet it hasnit been decided who wins and who loses, but we claim the gain for Miami. Minnie is a terria ble grind. She studies all the time; but allow us to whisper-she just hates hen parties. Nell Stafford, New Carlisle, Ohio. And when her epitaph is hung upon her tomb it might read thus: uHere lies the body of Nellie Stafford, a sweet and studious maid, born and reared in New Carlisle. 'Twas she who was the most accommodating individu- al, who ever haunted the precincts of the Miami University Library. And that is all. John Morace Beard, A K E, Spencerville, Ohio. Ladies and gentlemen and those who came with you:elt is always a diffi- cult task to introduce a Speaker to a college audience. But I feel that the gentleman who is to speak to us to- night needs no introduction. He is known to the students of Old Miami as an authority on the effect of iiCol- lege education on the size of the head. And so I introduce to you the Hon. John Morace Beard, who will speak on his favorite topic, iilVIyself, or All Alone. Eleanor Fike, Creston, Ohio. Eleanor is very independent and yet has lots of friends among the boys. Her many good qualities are mixed to- gether in such a way that few really appreciate them. The reason for her happiness, they say, goes to college at Ada. She is noted for her ingenious methods of raising rough-house in Hepburn Hall, where she is a terror to the matron and inmates as well. HGone daft over a man! and she an eddicated woman.n Herbert Pine, 913 A Q9, Centerville, Ohio. Herbert came here from a great un- known. It is a matter of conjecture what he might have been had he been born elsewhere. If Centerville can produce men like him we give our con- tinued consent to her right to a dot on the map. HHerb is one of those ex- clusive individuals who had the priv- ilege of being graduated from the iiprep course with Buster Ashton and other prominent upperclassmen. Dorothy Sloane, A Z, Oxford, Ohio. iiDot is one of the natives but has acquired civilization rapidly and is known now as the best rusher Delta Zeta has. iiVivacious'L-did you say eHWell, I guess. Just look at her. During her residence in Oxford and her attendance at Miami no one can remember the time when Dot was with- out gentleman suitors enough for all of Hepburn Hall. Everybody likes her. Sheis irresistible. Q. E. D. Mary Skillman, Bemus Point, New York. Mary is a good Junior for she can be neither Sophomore nor Senior. She has admirable qualities but as to being a howling success, Mary is not. She's a perfect success at keeping quiet. Mary is only known to grow enthusi- astic when in the Botany Laboratory she espies a specimen, then she softly cries, Ah, there you are, and writes it down in Latin. Margaret Shera, A A A, Oxford, Ohio. Nlargaret is one of those Howers which are by nature born to blush unseen. 50? A good looking plant withal. Some say lazy, but Margaret really could not be called so. She believes only in the principle of maximum amount accomplished with minimum labor. Its a pretty theory, but Mar- garet is one of the few who can get As and BS when following that prac- tice. A Beta by right; a Phi Delt by adopuon. Elmer Kraus, CD A KII, Hamilton, Ohio. Speak nothing but good of the dead. 50, Elmer was a good boy. He alt ways was conscientious about doing his work and willing to do his duty. He had a cheerful smile for everybody and spent most of his time making others happy. The list of girls he made happy is too long for publication. Up- on his tomb there stand these words, Not dead, but sleeping. i Esther Bridge, A A A, Franklin, Ohio. Blame her for the jokes in this year's Recensio for she is guilty. iiEs and iiBuster have toiled long and faith- fully over these spontaneous effusions of Wit, so give them credit. Every one of the Recensio Board has attempted to make this biography and has failed. This is little better. Those who know this promising young lady from Frank- lin will realize how hard she is to char- acterize and will appreciate our faila ure. Karl Reed, A Y, Washington C. H., Ohio. Webster defines indifference and luke- warmness identically. Miami prefers calling indifference and Karl Reed sy- nonomous. One of those iigreen but- toned freshmen called him Professor. Imagine! iiCap is a typical Christy man and candidate for honors as the handsomest man in the Junior Class. If someone could get him interested in something he would make things hum. Howard R. Clark, 9 W P, Oxford, Ohio. sJim takes up considerable space in the athletic department of this book. He is our biggest man in athletics. HJim is very modest and in this re- spect differs from most of his fellow classmen. See Recensio Football, Basketball, and Track Departments for more about our Speed Merchant. Paul Baer, A K E, Oxford, Ohio. The sleeping bear catches no poultry. Up! Up! You great big, good look- ing overgrown cub. How many peo- ple around college know you? It wouldnit tire us to count them, would it? There are lots of activities around here that you need and several that need you. We might exhort you to get into the game but such an exhorta- tion would be as futile as an appeal to the dead. Paul Dwight Hunsinger, Oxford, Ohio. Hun has been around this place so long that we look upon him as a sort of land mark. Any one who can successfully weather the storms of iiprepdom surely must have ability. And so it is without surprise that his friends see him elevated to the posi- tion of Miami's premier lady fusser, a position formerly held by Jimmie Coy- ner. A breaker of hearts, a football man and a member of Doc Young's roguesi gallery. in am Ruth Kreigenhofer, K T 2, Hamilton, Ohio. You probably clonit know Ruth, do you? Very few do. If note-get ac- quainted for youire missing a lot. She is one of those generous, good-natured, whole-souled sort of girls whom even the Recensio knockers can scarce- ly Find material for a single cruel thrust. If you are ever down on your luck, if you ever want a friend and a bit of droll humor to cheer you up-go to Ruth. Like Dr. Mills, Anti-Pain Pillsesheis a panacea for all ills. She sure can deliver the goods. Spencer Bishop Montgomery, A K E, Edmondton, Albt., Canada. But iilVlonte is what we all call him. Fresh from the Canadian woods his advent to Miami was like unto the sud- den appearance of an Igorrote within the drawing room of a Vanderbilt. However, it did not take iiMonte long to become acclimated. A good tailor soon made him as prepossessing as his fellow students and two years among civilized whites has not only shown him what a good college really is, but has developed his latent possia bilities. Ruth Bridge, A A A , Franklin, Ohio. This is Ruth Bridge, unless the printer got the pictures mixed. Ruth is a live wire and she has a knack of keeping peOple in hot water as to what she is going to say next. Owing to lack of space, the many virtues of the Juniors cannot be given and so when one of them has no short-comings, of neces- sity, there is nothing to say. Winnie Shafer, II A K, Brookville, Indiana. There is a custom at Miami for all girls, who have enticed particular young men to pay them attention, to exhibit their catches after chapel along the walk from the Auditorium to the Main Building. Winnie religiously carries out this custom, no matter how tire- some it may become or how rainy the weather. Somehow or other she seems to enjoy it and at those times seems very happy. Mona Mitobe, Tokio, Japan. HBest goods are in small packages. We chose the best and got Mona. Mona has been in the United States three years but just to show you how bright she is: It took her one yeari to learn that Miami was a better college than Defiance and thatis why sheis here. A Daughter of Fair Nippon by birth but aside from a natural loyalty to her motherland she is distinctly American. Effie Abraham, A Z, Muncie, Indiana. Not unlike the rest of us, the has made mistakes. But gravest and most serious was her choice of De Pauw two years ago instead of Miami. Forgiv- ing her for past offences we are forced to admit that she hasn't sinned much among us. Were we compiling a Uni- versity Dictionary we might define Effie Abraham as real, unadulterated. eighteen karat joy. Harold Roudebush, E X, Oxford, Ohio. uRoude , a beast Without a heart, who has sighed for many but loved but one. Since Helen Coulter is the seat of his affection, there is a lot of bright- ness in his life. Harold's work on the football field and his efficient service as the assistant manager of the Student have kept him from hiding his light uny der a bushel. Characterized by stick-to- business ways and a quick if not bad temper. Elsa Thoma, A Z, Hamilton, Ohio. Elsa, unlike other specimens from Hamilton, whom we have known, is hard to solve. She must have heard that it's the wisest plan to keep things to oneself. Anyway, she follows that teaching admirably. That's the reason we donit know her. To know Helen Coulter is to know what Elsa would like to be. Alas, Elsa, you are far from your ideal. The distance between Thoma and Coulter is great. Can you realize it? Dwight L. Watkins, Blanchester, Ohio. Who is this airy creature that Hits so fairy-like about our campus? What sylph-like being this, whose very pres- ence casts a magic spell? So it is, in- deed a nymph? No, this bunch of lovely grace is indeed a stern reality. Hard to believe, isn,t it? Watkins has one or two faults and a great many good qualities. He keeps to his motto: Hlf at flrst you don,t succeed, try, try, again, and perhaps that accounts for his never losing heart. g E ii... 9.3!. 26 w. ALUMNI LIBRARY $3... 2 ,3: gag. AZ.

Arthur Shuey E, the Sophomores of 1912, represent not an infina itesimal quantity in the plan of human existence, tas some of our upper classmen like to intimatey, but the backbone of a great institution which depends upon us for inspiration and support. As a great nation looks to its middle or working class for vitality and power, such a rela- tion does our university bear to us. The Freshmen, young and inexperienced, have not yet fallen into line. The Juniors and Seniors are the privileged few who rest on the lofty pinnacle of fame to which we aspire. But we, the Sophomores, are the Vital part of the student body, the spark that kindles the rest with enthusiasm and ambition. iiWhy did the Freshmen wear those odd grey caps with the green buttons? uO, the Sophs passed the rule this fall in Student Forum. uWhy did the Freshmen girls walk meekly up the back stairways of Hepburn Hall? Because the Sophomore girls made and enforced a law to that effect. Why did the Sophomore girls sew so industriously a whole afternoon? HThat their class-day victory might be duly recognized in chapel the following morning. iiWhy does that handsome banner hang in the Y. M. C. A. room? iiO, the Sophs won the track meet, you know! iiWhy did Prexy talk the other day in chapel about heroic deeds? HBecause the Sophomore heroes reminded him of the subject, I supposefi May this realization of the importance of our relationship to our university enable us to put our shoulders to the wheel, and strive not so much for success, as to do our duty and thereby win the favor of Miami. Let us not be discouraged if the goal seems far distant for we may not hope for a reward of our labors this year, nor may we expect due credit; but ay, verily, if we faint not, C little, and if we cultivate the society of the BS we may ex- pect to reap our reward.

Fenner Historian ............................... Helen Lane TOP, look, listen! this was the slogan of the Univera sity at the opening of the college year when the class of 1915 made its formal entry into Miami University. And this class has given no one, from the haughty and studious Seniors to the everwise and powerful Sopho: mores, opportunity to neglect noticing it. Its progressive spirit was manifested by an early organi- zation, and this spirit has been retained throughout the short but eventful career of the class. The first meeting of the class was, we acknowledge, the best attended in its history. Since then, several seem to have been Callistch because they saw a Leveriingi put upon the Price ton Love and because they discovered that the class Hathea-way of Boring them. And then came Hag-rush day. It was anticipated as a day of vacation. Although there were no classes on that event- ful day, a Freshman would not exactly term it vacation. In the rush and push-ball contests, the massiveness and experience of the Sophs enabled them to win the Victory. But, who won the foot-ball game? The Freshmen, of course. In this test of something more than strength, experi- ence and ability to fight, the freshmen triumphed. This put the Sophs off their lofty perch and they began to realize that the class of ,15 had some good material for the foot-ball team next year. The class has an intellectual side, too, for one of its num- ber was a member of the debating team-and a winningr team too. It is unusual for a Freshman to make a debating team and it is the first time in the history of the University that a Freshman has been a debater on a winning team. Versatility is the staff of life. This fact guarantees a long existence for the class of ,15, at least, in regard to one point. Suffice it to say that now we hurl a banner of red and black. And if every change the class of 1915 makes is as great an improvement as the last one, let it continue in its enthusiasm, spirit, and union until it has changed its name to the Senior class of Miami University.

Helen Billhart OW proud the Recensio should feel to have on its pages, the history of such a brilliant class as the Freshmen Normals. You question its brilliancy, when you see so many young lasses with bright bril- liant hair, spreading radiance where e'er they go? As for the rest of the class, they speak for themselves. In the fall, a short time after their guiding stars had led them to this beautiful little Village, they were looked upon with wonder and amazement. Soon they were recognized as iionly Normals and since that day they have been allowed to roam about the campus unmolested, under the great burdens of their Hnote books. HELEN BILLHART.

E. R. Sweetland came to us highly recommended, and with an enviable reputation as a coach. In his undergraduate days he was one of Cornele star athletes, playing all of every game for four years on the foot- ball team, rowing on the varsity crew, and taking a prominent part in basket- ball and track. . - 1 3w? Coach Sweetland's slogan was iiflght . iiA football player needs 10 per cent ability and 90 per cent fight, was his characteristic phrase. He knew football, and was by no means stingy in imparting his knowledge to others. Plenty of talk, backed by considerable biting sarcasm, and his iimix- ing it With the players, gave the team better coaching, and a more extensive knowledge of football than any Miami team has ever had. With light and inexperienced men, Sweetland turned out one of the best teams in recent years, and to him we owe the credit for the 191 1 season, however successful it may have been. Assistant 11111th 131mm HDoc Young receives much credit for things accomplished by him at Miami, but no matter how much credit he receives it is all well deserved. In the absence of a coach and a graduate manager, it was iiDoc Young that gave Manager Pixler help and advice, and he is in no small measure respon- sible for the 191 1 schedule. After the schedule was arranged almost as much credit for developing the team that played it is due to him as to the coach. iiDoc is respected by every Miami man, and especially by those who have learned to know him on the football held. ,. gag i. E; : Kentucky at Oxford Wesleyan over for a Touchdown 43 I Ex ?. rhea; Wilmington Meets Defeat At the Reserve Game Manager Pixler nut mall-IHII When College opened last September, football prospects were indeed flattering; all excepting two of the I910 u 1V1 men were again on the field with nine of the past season's Freshman team fighting for Varsity berths. A squad of fifty greeted the new coach. But fortune is fickle and dope again proved unreliable. Reading from uSiwash Fitch it is learned that it takes eleven men to play football and twice that many to keep them in repair. Now, this was one of the chief weaknesses of the past season; Miami had the eleven men to play, but the repair department did not seem capa able of keeping many more in playing condition. As a hospital roll is an uncommon feature in Oxford football, it was all the more noticeable this past year. And although a second team was always in evidence, it was not composed entirely of men of Varsity caliber, and thus many positions were wanting reserves of the necessary ability. HOWe ever, the result might have been far worse. The season opened with Wilmington at Oxford. Practically the same team that made a 5 to 0 score seem good in I910 went down to a defeat of 46 to 0. The game was marked by considerable loose playing on both sides. The Visitoris line seemed unable to stop the Varsity backs, and Morris, Baker and Levering simply walked at will through the holes opened up by the Miami line- men, making the first touchdown three minutes after the kick-off. New men were tried out, and while nothing spectacular was in evidence, the team gave Captain Levering indications of making things interesting at Columbus. last ditch defense.

Both teams played great football and for the first time of the year Varsity used open work successfully. Pass after pass worked, Baker going over with a well executed toss in the second quar- ter. The rest of the game was snappily played, until in the last quarter when Reserve took a brace, and Snyder succeeded in crossing the line, thus tying the score. Miami has shown that she can cope with the best teams in the state on even terms. No team scored more than two touch- downs on our warriors even when the team was shot to pieces. With such a record to our credit, football enthusiasts may look for great things from Captain Baker and his s4uad in 1912. ifnnt mall E11112 AP STONE says prospects were never better and even Doc Young is hopeful for next year's team. We hope they are judging sagely and that Captain Baker will lead his boys to many victories on the gridiron next fall. The schedule is lighter than the one played in the past season, but nevertheless, Manager Taylor has done well in securing good teams to contest against. With our All-State Half Back Russell Baker in his old position, Wallace Prugh again at Quarter, HBill Engle, iiBig Hunsinger, Roudebush, Carr, Badgley, Evans, Wolf and Brill, it looks as though we had a team of great ability now. Then several of this year's Freshmen looked good and others on the Scrubs lineeup were worthy reserves who will make the Varsity MM men move next fall. From this the new coach with the aid of Doc Young and Cap Stone will develop a team which is calculated to win.

Keady, a Dartmouth man, has heen selected to follow Sweetland as Coach of next year's team. His rec- ord is exceptionally good, both as a player and as a coach.

And as a coach, he, in 1909, developed the line of of developing into a strong line-man, and Bowen, Kersting, Rogers and Fox all did good work.

For the last three years he has served as assistant football coach and head coach of the basketball and baseball teams at his Alma Mater.

Three days later, on May 6th, the Miami track team met Deni- son at Granville, and although handicapped by the illness of our best hurdler Pults, won the meet by a score of 69 to 48.

Parker was the individual star of the meet, winning first in both the l20 yard high hurdles, and the 220 yard low hurdles; first in the shot put; and second in the 100 yard dash. Sollars did good work winning first in the pole vault and second in both the 120 and 220 yard hurdles. Boring won the high jump, Pine won second place in thebroad jump, and Little second in the hammer throw. In the mile relay, Miami was again Victorious, and an- other record of 3 min. 42 see. was established, breaking the old record of 3 min. 45 sec. The team was composed of McCoy, Parker, Class and Clark. The flnal 50 feet was prac- tically a walk by Clark. THE EARLHAM MEET On May I 3th, Earlham came to Oxford and administered the only defeat of the track season. She had one of the best teams in the Middle West, which accounts for her good showing. Although the score of 69V2 to 34Vz looks like an over- whelming defeat, it was far from such, as Earlham won all of her events by only the slightest margin. Many of the spec- tators and followers of Miami athletics say it was the best track meet ever held on the local field. The first race was the 100 yard dash between Conrad and McCoy. Both had records of 9 4-5 sec., and there was unusual interest in the outcome. At the crack of the gun, Conrad got about a foot on leish which the latter was unable to make up. The time was 9 4-5 see. In the 220 yard race, Conrad defeated McCoy about two feet in 22 2-5 sec. Pults won first in the 120 yard high hurdles in 16 3-5 sec. In the 220 low hurdles, he ran probably one of his best races, at least the most spectacular. Having been on the sick list for several days he was in no shape to run. In the race, he managed to hold up on nerve alone and fell exhausted over the tape, winning by about a yard in 27 2-5 sec. The next race4the quarter mi1e4-was the most exciting event of the day. The contestants were Brown of Earlham and Clark of Miami. Brown, who had previously defeated Notre Dame's best 440 yard man, had never been defeated, and had defeated some of the best men in the East. Clark had done some phenomenal work according to HCap's tim- ing. Both men were off at the crack of the gun with Brown in the lead, but iiStony was confident. At the foot of the hill Clark began to take up, and at the top, the men were running even. From there on in to the tape, they fought foot by foot for advantage, Clark finally winning by a few inches. The time was 50 2-5 sec. made on a track with a rise of fourteen feet. Clark showed his great endurance by coming back in the 880 yard race and winning by 15 yards over Wood. Time, 2 min. 8 4-5 see. Sollars tied with Roberts for second place in the pole vault. Little won second in the hammer throw as did Pine in the broad jump, and Boring in the high-jump. In this meet, we were greatly handicapped by the ab- sence of Parker on account of sickness. EARLHAM MEET Event First Second Record Made 100 yards Earlham McCoy 9 4-5 sec.

THE CINCINNATI MEET At Carson Field in Cincinnati, on May 20th, Miami again defeated her old rival, the University of Cincinnati, by a score of 59 to 58. Miami was hard pressed at no time and could easily have added five points by the relay, which she forfeited to Cincinnati, because Cap wished to save his men for the iiBig Six Meet at Columbus, the following Friday. The first race was the hundred yard dash won by Mc- Coy in 10 1-5 sec. In the 880 yard run, Ciark easily defeated Bridge of U. C. in 2 min. 14 4-5 see. Sollars won the pole vault at 9 ft. 6 in. McCoy won the 220 in 23 3-5 sec. Cin- cinnati won both places in the shot put, the hammer throw, and the discus. Boring won the high jump at 5 ft. 4 in. with Pine second. Probably the most interesting event of the clay from the Miami standpoint was the mile race. March won this event in 5 min. 4 see. with Harris close on his heels. Harris showed up well in the two mile, winning second easily, Without pre- vious training for that event. Pults took first in the 120 yard high hurdles in 17 2-5 sec. and also in the 220 yard low hurdles in 24 4-5 see. Clark played with his opponent in the 440 yard run and won it in 57 1-5 see. The score 59 to 58 indicates a very close and interestlng meet, but such was not the case. Miami won ten firsts in the fifteen events without difhculty, while the large score of Cin- cinnati was due to her abiltiy to win seconds.

Thirteen Ohio colleges were represented. Miami, with a seven-man team, won third place, which is remarkable, considering the fact that we were handicapped by sickness. Pults was weak from his winteris sickness and could not do himself justice, while Parker, one of our sure point winners, had not recov- ered from the effects of scarlet fever. In spite of our handicaps, we made a great showing. Clark proved to be the dark horse of the meet, winning the championship of the state in both the 440 and 880 yard races. In the 440, he was third for over three-fourths of the distance, when he made a sprint and took first place, in 51 2-5 see. If possible, the 880 was easier for him; in this race he defeated the well-known Metcalf of Oberlin. Time, 2 min. 1 2-5 sec. Pults won second in the 120 high hurdles and second in the 220 low hurdles. In the 120 yard high hurdles, he ran a great race, clearing the last hurdle over a foot ahead of his nearest competitor, but he did not have the strength for the final spurt, and was beaten about two feet. In the 220 low hurdles he led again almost to the finish, losing in the last few feet. iilrish McCoy was second in both the 100 and 220 yard races. He failed to repeat his feat of last year in win- ning both of these events. For some unaccountable reason iilVlac was not able to get back to his former shape, and could not do his best work. Sollars beat all of his previous records in the pole vault with a height of 10 feet, 9 inches, winning third place. This event lasted from 1:30 to 4:30 P. M. Our relay team was composed of McCoy, Pults, Glass, and Clark, and won third place. They ran well but were tired from their previous work. In the tryouts in the morning, Miami men won all of their trial heats. McCoy ran the fastest hundred and Glass the fastest quarter. Glass would probably have placed in the quarter mile race, but iiCap was saving him for the relay. This meet at Columbus concluded one of our best track seasons. in athletics. petitors. the iiSpeed Merchant. relay. On June 10th, in the Northern Ohio Championship Meet, in the special two mile relay between the Cleveland A. C. and the Pittsburg A.

At the K. of P. Meet, June 1 7th, the mile relay was run in 3 min. 29 3-5 sec., Clark doing his quarter in 52 sec. In the open half mile race, Clark defeated Marshall, the well- tonished all by easily winning the half mile. star, and his predictions have certainly come true. In the spring of 191 1, he defeated Brown of Earlham, lowering the quarter mile record from 54 1-5 to 50 2-5 sec., and in the half mile at the iiBig Six Meet he lowered the Miami record from 2 gmin. 9 1-5 see. to 2 min. 1 1-5 sec.

U. meet was held at Pitts- burg, July lst, in which the best men of the country com- peted, Clark won fourth in the half mile and fourth in the quarter. At Cleveland, in a special half mile race against two men, each man running a quarter, Clark finished first in 1 min. 56 sec. Such a record as this in the first year of a mans racing career is exceptional.

Walter Leach succeeded in winning the flfty yard novice race from a field of about fifty competitors; time, 6 sec. His best time, made in one of the heats, Was 5 3-5 sec. One of the greatest races of the meet was the 880 yard race. This event was won by Howard Clark in 2 min. 6 2-5 sec., breaking the former Central A. A. U. record of 2 min. 6 4-5 sec., which was held by Sauer, the fast Chicago runner. The winning of this race made Clark the champion half-miler of the Middle West. collegiate relay race. Only two teams were entered, Miami and Cincinnati University. Sollars started the race for Miami and passed his man at the end of the Hrst lap, giving Keim, the next runner, a good lead. Keim and Bowen both gained on their men, with Bowen giving Clark a lead of thirty or forty yards. Clark lit out and without hurting himself finished about sixty yards ahead of his man, winning the race in 3 min. ' 55 4-5 sec. This is the fourth successive year that Miami has captured all of the cups offered for this intercollegiate relay race. Need- less to say, we are justly proud of our track men. 1th ilntermhnlaztir meet Miami's Second Annual Interscholastic Meet was held at the athletic field, May 27th, 191 I, under the able direction of A. M. Gee. Eight high schools of the type of Woodward, Steele, and Madisonville, contested for first honors. The prizes were gold, silver, and bronze medals for first, second and third places respectively, and also like medals for the highest individual point winners, with a large banner for the school winning the most points. The medals were given by the Alumni of the University. About seventy athletes took part in the meet, which re- sulted in Woodward High School of Cincinnati taking first place with 36 points, Steele and Madisonville tying for sec- ond place with 20 points each. In the evening, a reception was held at the gym, and the medals and banner were pre- sented to the different schools with fitting speeches. During their short stay at Miami, the men were enter- tained at the different fraternity houses and shown every possi- ble courtesy. lament miami mernrhg Event 50 yards UndoorI Rope Climb UndoorI I00 yards 220 yards 440 yards 880 yards Mile Pole Vault 220 Low Hurdles I20 High Hurdles I6 1b.

Miami was unfortunate in losing the first game of the year, as the team was composed largely of new men, and the ini- tial game meant much to them. A victory might have in- spired confidence and changed the results. As a game, it was fairly won by Hanover, who started with a rush, and outplayed the Varsity during the whole time. The new men showed ability, Pruden and Ashton especially showing de- cided aptitude, even though seriously handicapped by being light-weights. Pine did sensational work for the few minutes he played. The final score was 21 to 16 in favor of Hanover. GEORGETOWN On the Kentucky trip luck worked its hardest against Miami. The inexperience of the men showed itself, and coupled with the disadvantage of a small Hoor the hrst game was lost to Georgetown, 21 to 10. Levering bolstered up the team greatly, but could not turn the defeat into Victory. KENTUCKY STATE At Kentucky State, as was expected, a fast scrappy team, trained by Ex-Coach Sweetland, was met, and again the Var- sity was beaten. The Southerners played better basketball, and earned the 31 to 14 Victory. Clark and Kersting played sensational games, but lack of team-work overbalanced indi- vidual playing, so it availed but little. DENISON In the fourth game of the season, Denison was defeated by a score of 26 to 11. Hard practice had brought resuits, and the team played a good, fast, scrappy game, keeping the ball most of the time and doing some excellent passing. The Victory was deserved, and showed What the team coulti do when working together. CINCY AT OXFORD Saturday, February 24th, Cincinnati was given the worst defeat she has ever received at the hands of Miami, being outclassed in every detail of the game and scoring only 14 points to Varsity,s 40. The playing was fast and hard, With much spirit evidenced, and luck was against Cincinnati. Ker- sting, Hunsinger and Pruden starred, all doing good work and making some difficult field goals. Bakeris work in the last few minutes, replacing Pruden, was a feature. KENYON AT OXFORD The third consecutive Victory was won from Kenyon, 29 to 14. Varsity played in the same form exhibited in the two preceding games, and won easily. Hunsinger played a brilliant game at guard, and Rosencrans showed his ability at centre. A11 played well, keeping Kenyon well guarded, and working together. For the Visitors, Beatty scored 12 of their 14 points, and was the individual star of the game. KENYON AT GAMBIER On the last trip, Varsity was again unsuccessful, losing first to Kenyon by the score of 21 to 8. The team showed lack of ability in basket shooting, and at some disadvantage because of the size of the floor, allowed Kenyon to even up the defeat at Oxford. DENISON AT GRANVILLE At Denison, March Ist, the result was the same, this time the score being 52 to 26. The game was fast, Denison x. h! 95' Clean playing and good oHici- outplaying Miami throughout. ating were features which made it highly interesting. WITTENBERG AT SPRINGFIELD The game with Wittenberg was very unsatisfactory, not even being Finished, because of the poor officials. It ended with a score of I9 to 9, in favor of Wittenberg, 28 fouls having been called on Miami, by an incompetent man, when the team rightfully refused to play longer under such condi- tions. SEASON CLOSES AT CINCINNATI In the last Intercollegiate game of the season, Varsity was defeated by Cincinnati. The result came as a great sur- prise, but from the first bad luck was experienced in basket shooting, which coupled with Cincinnati's changed style of playing, accounted for the score of 24 to 16 in favor of Cin- cinnati. Levering was the star of the game, scoring 12 of the 16 points. The result of the season was not good. But new men were developed, and we think we can, with certainty, pre- dict that the next season will not be as disastrous. . Emma 1911 said in its behalf is fortunate in having as players. cate this.

CONFERENCE MEET The latter part of May the team went to Ohio Wesleyan, playing the week-end in the Conference meet. Case, Reserve, Denison, Oberlin, Wooster, Ohio State, Kenyon, Ohio Wes- leyan, Cincinnati and Miami were represented. Ashton was defeated by Fulton of Wooster in the second round. An- thony played through the entire entry list, defeating Beatty of Kenyon, 6-4, 6-8, 9-7, in the semi-flnals and Marty of Kenyon, holder of the Open Championship of Ohio, in the finals. The match was spectacular in every detail and Marty was out-generaled and out-played in every department of the game. In the doubles Beatty and Marty of Kenyon defeated Miami in the final round, 6-3, 6-2, 6-2. The Conference closed with Anthony of Miami holding the Intercollegiate Champion- ship of the State and Miami as runners up in the doubles. MIAMI AT BUTLER Early in June, Miami went to Butler on the courts of Butler at Indianapolis. Butler was represented by Thomas and Baker, Thomas being the Intercollegiate champion of Indiana. The match was a round robin with the singles stand- ing even, and two sets each of the doubles. Miami lost the day in the deciding double set. KENYON WINS Late in June, on Kenyon's Commencement day, the team journeyed to Gambier. Kenyon, still srnarting from the Con- ference, was eager to retaliate. Marty defeated Anthony 6-3 in two well-fought sets. Ashton defeated Beatty, 6-0, 6-1. Miami led off in doubles, playing Kenyon off their feet. With a score 5-1 and 40-15 against them, in the final set, Kenyon started to climb and finally pulled out 8-6. In the second set, Miami tried to duplicate the feat of pulling up to four all from 4-0, but lost 6-4, the day going to Kenyon. Anthony and Ashton have played together during the summer months at the various tournaments about the country. In 1910, they won the open championship doubles of the State of Kentucky, Ashton winning the tournament in singles, but losing to Eager, the title holder, in the challenge round. An- thonyis showing in the Indiana tournament last year was re- markable. He defeated Fleet, the Culver champion, and Thomas, who had defeated him earlier in the year. Mr. Tobey, president of the Board of Trustees, gave a handsdme bowl to the tennis club to be held by the champion of the University for one year, permanent possession of Which demands the winning of three legs. For the University Cham- pionship Anthony defeated Ashton, 3-6, 7-5, 6-4, 9-7.

Some spec- tacular plays were made; Pettit and Grabiel both making some long gains for the Freshmen, and Reed circling end for a 40 yard run, making the only touchdown of the game. The Freshmen kicked goal. Final score, 6 to 0 in their favor. Fox and Kersting were the shining lights for the Sophs, bucking well and doing good work in the back field when on the defense, but they were unable to change the final result.

Keim was the greatest point winner, pulling firsts in the running high jump, standing high jump, and the pole vault, and also getting second in the 20 yard hurdles. Bowen easily won the half and quarter and O,Herron won the mile. Reed, for the Freshmen, got first in the 25 yard nphnmnre meet ? dash and the 20 yard hurdles.

Two new tennis courts have been prepared and new tennis nets purchased. Basket balls, hockey sticks, quoits and golf sticks are owned by the association and can be used only by the regular members. Any form of athletics sugh gested by the members of the association is taken up and considered by the executive committee and adopted if at all feasible. i The association has the hearty co-operation of President Hughes and Dean Hamilton in all of its plans.

By faculty regulation intercollegiate girls, basketball was abolished at Miami this year. This action was brought about by the difhculty in securing girls teams to meet Miami girls on the home Hoor. As a slight substitute, interclass basketball games have been played. The same enthusiasm as was accorded the inter collegiate games has been sadly lacking and it is hoped that next year girls, intercollegiate basketball will be revived.

Bridge E1112 ifntum The Student Foram was firmly established at Miami last year, and began active work at the commencement of this college year. The first matter taken up by the Forum was the Honor System. The Student Senate drew up plans for the System and the Forum adopted the plans after consider- able discussion. The next question settled by the Forum was the matter of Freshman caps. Resolutions were drawn up by the Senate and presented to the Forum, that Freshmen be required to wear caps of a design to be determined by the Senate and that Freshmen should be forbidden to wear dressasuits at formal functions. These resolutions were adopted by the Forum and the enforcing of them placed in. the hands of the Sophomore class. Many other important matters were brought up and dis- cussed in the meetings of the Forum. Any subject to be dis cussed by the Forum must be presented by the Senate. The Forum met quite regularly throughout the year on Wednesdays at the usual chapel hour. The Senate meets the evening before and prepares the resolutions and recommendations which are to bring the matter before the Forum. This system has worked very satisfactorily and the Senate has been very conscientious about presenting matters of importance for con- sideration by the Forum.

The code adopted is based largely upon the Williams plan but has been so modified that compulsory reporting has been omitted. The principal clauses of the new system are as follows: iiArticle l.-Each student must, in order to make his or her examinations, tests or quizzes valid, sign the following pledge on or before the fourth Saturday after his or her matric- ulation in Miami University. HPledge: In View of the introduction of the Honor Sys- tern of examinations, I pledge mystelf to support that system to the utmost of my ability, and not only myself to act in accorda ance with what I conscientiously believe to be its spirit, but also to encourage others to do the same. iiArticle ll.-Fraud in examinations, tests or quizzes shall ten or printed aids, or from any person or his paper. This Rule shall hold within and without the examination room dur- ing the entire time in which the examination work is in prog- ress, that is, until the time specified has expired. iiArticle lll.--The Student Senate shall deal with all cases involving any Violation of the Honor System. siArticle lV.-ln case of reported frauds in examinations, tests or quizzes, the committee shall summon the accused per- son or persons, and witnesses who shall be from the student body only, texcept that a member of the faculty may present evidence of fraud in any paperl. In case of conviction the Student Senate shall determine the punishment and so recom- mend to the University Senate. This sytem took effect at the beginning of the semester exams. A $ AA AAA A3...

Todd Professor G. B. Woods Elm 13mm mark The Executive Committee this past year determined to greatly advance the interests of debate and oratory. To do this it was decided to schedule debates with up-state colleges, if possible. After some little negotiation permanent debating relations were established with Ohio Wesleyan and Denison, and the Ohio Wesleyan-Denison-Miami Triangular League formed. The debating try-outs were held early in December and twenty aspirants for forensic honors tried out. From this num- ber ten were chosen, six regulars and four alternates, to repre- sent Miami against Wesleyan and Denison. The Intercollegiate Debate was held February 9th, 191 2, Miami's negative team winning on the home platform from Wesleyan and the aermative losing at Granville to Denison. The Recall Question was debated. The relations with the Ohio-Indiana Oratorical League were continued this year with marked success. Interest in Oratory and Debate has been revived to a great extent at Miami and the work of the Association promises greater Vic- tories for Miami in the future. Gbratnrital 01111111251 Held at Miami University, May 19th, 191 l. 132 135mm T the beginning of I91 1, James Coyner, as President of the Oratorical Association, saw the need of putting Miami in better oratorical company. The result of his efforts was the formation of the Ohio-Indiana Oratorical League, composed of De Pauw, Butler, Ohio, and Miami. The first contest of this league was held at Oxford, May 19th, 191 l. A large student audience listened for almost two hours to the best orators of the four colleges; and though disappointed that Miami did not win, left, feeling that the ini- tial contest of the new league had been a success. Miami was represented by Charles Heeter who spoke hrst. His subject was, uiVIanhood versus War. He declared war to be the greatest cause of a nation's decadence and said that the only solution for the future was universal peace. miami no mo QDhiH ac mailer De Pauw, represented by Clarence E. Flynn, came next. The De Pauw representative spoke on iiThe Redemption of Jean Valjean. This was a pure type of the hero oration with a moral lesson. Rollen E. Cuttridge, of Ohio University, then spoke on uThe Evolution of Peace. He traced the rise of the peace movement as coincident with the advance of man in civiliza- tion. The last speaker was Fred E. Schortemeier of Butler College. His subject was The Problem of Economic Equity. The judges awarded first place to Butler College, second place to Miami and De Pauw, and fourth place to Ohio Uni- versity. This year the presidency of the league went from Miami to De Pauw and the contest was held at Greencastle in May. CONTEST OF 191 I AT OXFORD Manhood vs. War .....................

The judges, Prof. Benj. C. Van Wye, University of Cincinnati, President Albert J. Brown, Wilmington College, and Superintendent W. T. Trumpe, of Miamis- burg, decided, hwithout regard to their Views on the question, but solely on the merits of the debate, in favor of the negative. Throughout the debate the teams were well matched and the contest spirited. The superior work of the local of the student body every minute of the debate. For Ohio Wesleyan, D. F. McClelland, Benjamin F. Young and E. A. Roberts supported the afhrmative side of the question. Miami was ably represented by C. W. Elliott, Harold Robertson and J. H. Cook, all new men on Miami debating teams. They argued like veter- ans and plainly had Wesleyan at their mercy throughout. Wesleyan argued, in brief, that corruption existed in Ohio which the present system was unable to cope with; that the recall would remedy this deficiency; that the recall would not radically Change or supplement it in case of necessity. Miami, on the other hand, maintained that the ex- isting conditions of Ohio do not justify the recall; that the present system of removing officials was adequate; that the recall frequently failed and that its introduction would be attended with grave dangers. DENISON SCORES A VICTORY AT GRANVILLE At the same time that the home team was winning at Oxford, the affirmative red and white debaters were fighting at Denison. Here we were not so fortunate, the judges, Superintendent Shawan of Columbus, Pro- fessor McLean of Wooster, and Professor Sibert of Columbus, deciding in favor of the negative, upheld by Denison. The assembly hall at Denison was packed with an enthusa iastic audience who cheered both sides impartially. The debate was Opened by Troy Junk for Miami, who outlined the Recall plan and proved the need of reform in Ohio cities. Webster spoke second for the aHirmative and Easly closed the debate. The work of the affirmative team was without reproach and their defeat does not indicate inferiority. The results in the triangle were: Miami, negative, won from Wesleyan. Miami, afhrmative, lost to Denison. Wesleyan, negative, won from Denison. Wesleyan, afFirmative, lost to Miami. Denison, negative, won from Miami. Denison, affirmative, lost to Wesleyan. Too much credit cannot be given Professor Gates for his efhcient coaching and direction of the debating team. The debaters themselves manifested unusual interest and Brepared with diligence. The Victory over Wesleyan places Miami on an equal footing in debate with the best teams of the state. Ernhelphian literary; gnrietg OFFICERS Presidentsa L. 0.

Last year, not a single member of Erodelphian represented the society on the intercollegiate debating team. This year, five members of Erodelphian were on the team. Three of them spoke and two acted as alternates. Erodelphian has therefore shown that she trains her members to be good debaters. The programs for. this year have been well cared for by Mr. Franz. He has arranged novel and interesting programs and has seen that they are well carried out. Parliamentary Law classes have been held regularly under the direction of Professors Woods, Colborn, and Gates. Each month the monthly magazines are reviewed and every week the events of the week summarized. The new spirit of efficiency has invaded the halls of Erodelphian and prOSpects are good for a more flourishing society than ever. Literary interests are not dead at Miami; oratory may be dying, but cool-headed, logical thinking, and clear expression while speaking are being taught by Erodel- phian. WW?

Miami Union, indeed, has this year come as near to ac- complishing its purpose as could be expected. It has been very aggressive in securing many good men, as well as in maintaining its high standard of debating, oratory, and dis- cussions of live questions of the present. The Miami Union, this year, has induced more men to join and become good, live, and active members than it has for years. Its membership exceeds fifty, but at the same time it is doing good, effective work with this large membership Colors-Recl and White. owing to the great interest taken by its members. The policy of the society is to develop the individual in the best way possible, and so it has introduced extempo- raneous speaking to a great extent. This has had a marked effect and is very productive of good results. It is the desire of the present members of Miami Union to continue the good work begun by its founders and ad- vanced by past members, so that iiOld Miami may more truly turn out men prepared to meet life problems.

They were very popular and the students and townspeople flocked to the old chapel to hear the orators who had worked hard for the prized honor of appearing at an Exhibition. The custom died out shortly after the war. But last year the Miami Union Literary Society revived the custom and held the first Exhibition on Washingtods Birthday. No great interest was manifested by the students or townspeople, but indications were encouraging and the second Exhibition was given this year, again on Washingtons Birthday. More inter- est was shown and a fairly large audience greeted the speakers. PROGRAM Omar Thacker - - B. F. Sweigart - - - J. W. Clokey - - D. L. Watkins , - - E. N.

Consequently the Thalian Dramatic Club was organized by several of the members of the Sophomore class of 191 I. This year seven girls of the Sophomore Normal class Who became members of the club when it was first organized, aided by six additional Sophomores and the societyis advisors, Miss Ross, Miss Ragland and Mrs. Finch, have reorganized the club under the name of the Thalian Literary Society of the Ohio State Normal College. alian Eitemrg Simian; Last year the purpose of the club was to study the drama from its beginning to the present day. Now, as a literary society, the programs consist of parliamentary practice, cur- rent events and articles on educational topics of presentaday interest. It is hoped that by the end of this school year there will have been as many Freshmen enrolled as there now are Sophomores, that they may carry on the work of the society already begun. Several meetings have been held and a great deal of interest manifested. The members are doing all they can to establish this society on a firm basis and at present it bids fair to become a permanent organization at Miami. OF F ICERS President ................

The fact that membership is counted an honor and that each member tries to do her part in working toward the ideals of the club shows the growth of the organization. The feeling that the club is doing work similar and comparable to that of other members of the Gen- eral Federation of Womenis Clubs is justifiable. The excellent work of the program committee in choos- ing subjects of the widest interest, but which are not touched upon in the courses of study, has increased the pleasure in our work. The patronesses, by inviting us to their homes for meetings, have shown their interest and, by their zeal in gath- old books for inspectioniby the club, have brought before us in ering examples of old china, laces, embroideries, and a concrete way what has often been heard in abstract discus- sion. The occasional social time after the meeting has in- creased unity and good feeling among the members. OFFICERS Georgia Anderson .........................

Miss Mayme Botts was sent as a delegate to the conven- tion of the Ohio Federation of Women's Clubs, held at Cleve- land, and brought back an interesting report. The work for the year so far has been along the follow- ing lines: study and drills in parliamentary law; talks and de- bates on popular and current topics; and dramatic work. The dramatic work so far has consisted of a short play given just before the Christmas holidays. Beginning with the New Year the club took up the study of various writers, both in prose and poetry, by means of reviews of their lives and works, and the reading of one of the best selections of each. A lively interest has been manifested and this year has been one of the best in the history of the club.

Each year many prominent speakers are brought to Miami by'the association. Almost every professor takes charge of at least one meeting during the year. This affords the students an opportunity of hearing their professors talk on subjects not discussed in the Class room. The Y. M. C. A. also keeps a room for recreation. Two pool tables have been placed, for the accommodation of the men of the University. A shoe-shining stand is maintained in this room at which a iigentleman of color who takes care of the room presides. The work of the association certainly justifies its existence at Miami and for that reason it deserves the support of every student. ' 1-.

M. C. A. This year the members of the Y. M. C. A. realized that they were getting into a rut and that they must do something to justify the continuation at Miami of their or- ganization. The trouble in the past had been the inability of the men of Miami to get together in an easy way to talk over matters of importance to all of them. The artificial barrier which naturally springs up where fraternity feeling runs high, has been an hindrance to any attempts at united efforts. This year the men's smokers did much to break down this barrier and the men thus freed wished to take the best advantage of the new opportunity of mingling with men of other organizations. The result was the formation of a walking club, called the iiRamblers. The object of this club is simply to give to men an easy and natural way in which to become intimately acquainted with men outside of the particular organizations they may be in. The management is very simple and informal. No deh- nite constitution has been drawn up nor are there any officers. One leader each week plans a route for the afternoon stroll and draws up some subject for general conversation. The members of the club set out at the appointed time and follow the route announced by the leader for the day at the previous meeting. They carry out his plan as far as possi- ble and if a set address is to be given by some professor or other man of prominence, they gather at some convenient place and join in a discussion under the leadership of the speaker for the day. Before the club breaks up, the leader for the next walk announces his plan and a leader for the walk after that is chosen. The membership is not limited or re stricted in any way and no fees of any nature are assessed. f! ff x 3:5... gag Mug at .31.. .2... x1? qax. 6.x - ' 7 ' 7a g - g .. harm! 1.7... , :7 Hnin225itg 03122 QIluh 111911122175 President ........................

The usual form of concert was followed in having the first part formal in which the more classical numbers were placed; the second part composed of Calderwoodis imperson- ations and readings; and the third part made up of more popular songs and wholesome fun in rollicky informal fashion. Everything went with a Vim and snap so that the audience was not iilost once during the evening. Part one was well received. Calderwoodis reading of A New England Town Meeting in part two drew much ap- plause and pleased his audience; while in part three the club put on a variety show and local hit rapid-fire which kept the audience guessing. The local hits were of the sort that amuse without antagonizing, so there were none in the whole audi- ence who could say they had not been delightfully entertained. No old and tried comedians were left among the regular club members this year, so some fun artists had to be developed. That the proper material was found was shown by the many laughs provoked at the home concert. Those who have tried and know how hard it is to be funny, can appreciate the enor- mous amount of consistent effort put forth by these promis- ing young mirth provokers on the evening of Friday, April the twelfth. $1112 $122 6111111 manquet The Annual Glee Club Banquet was held at the Commons on the night following the Home Concert, and was a very enjoyable function in every respect. The reception line formed at about seven forty-five and by eight oiclock the club members and ladies were seated around the beautifully deco- rated tables. A sumptuous feast was served in six courses under the able direction of Mrs. Tudor whose infallible taste was shown in every appointment. Dainty menu cards were in evidence; red roses, the Glee Club's Hower, were exten- sively used in the scheme of decoration; and favors appropri- ate to the occasion graced each place. After the coffee came the toasts, engineered by toast-master J. S. Levering, who cleverly presented each speaker. Acting President Hughes spoke first and congratulated the club on its successful year. The next toast was by Acting Dean Williams, who stated his agreement with the remarks of President Hughes and added a few witty dictums of his own. Calderwood, the inimitable fun provoker, came next, and that he was extremely amusing goes without saying. B. S. Bartlow, Manager of the Glee Club, spoke of the fmancial standing of the club, and was followed by Troy T. Junk, who spoke for the new men on the club. His toast was breezy and entertaining. The last toast was by J. Edward Price, who reminiscenced on his five years experience on the club. E1112 fifth Annual Giant After a valuable try-out concert at Camden on March the eighth, the Glee Club started on its regular spring trip March the twenty-first. The first concert on the trip was given in the M. E. Church at Hamilton, Ohio, where a friendly and appreciative, audience was in attendance. Friday morning the club took the train for Cincinnati where they had lunch before continua ing to Hillsboro. The Hillsboro audience was of the reserved type and hard to entice into showing their appreciation. Saturday found the club in Greenfield where they Sun- dayed. The Visit to this town was a very enjoyable one and many acquaintances were made, especially among the gentler sex. A sacred concert was given Sunday evening. Urbana was reached on Monday and a foothold for future trips was made by the concert. An informal dance was very much enjoyed by the men after the concert. It was at Kenton that the star concert of the trip was given last year. That the large audience was not disa appointed this year was shown by the hearty applause which they tendered the various numbers of the program. The next day Celina was reached. Here a peculiar audi- ence was pleased by tactful shaping of the program. The Celina people demanded comedy, so the whole comedy reper- toire was turned loose on them. Miamisburg was the Thursday stop where a Miami audi- ence greeted the club. Many familiar faces could be seen in the audience; in fact, so many that it resembled a home con- cert crowd. Next, and last, came Middletown, Friday night, where the trip ended. This year the closing concert was much above the average, for the club was determined to give Middletown a good concert and they succeeded remarkably well. gag. ; rI.L E H 2,. . .21! ..

It was indeed a happy departure, and the audience liked it. The Lady of Shalott, that beautiful cantata by Bendall with words from Tennyson, made a decided hit. Miss Husted as soloist did unusual work. It is indeed rare to hear one of Miss Husted's ability in an amateur performance. The club gave her admirable support. The quartets sung by Misses Husted, Hughes, DeCamp, and Roudebush, were particularly pleasing. The second part of the program, a Japanese Operetta, was especially attractive. Misses Miller and Davidson had spared no pains in making the scenery and costuming effective. Misses Sloane, Saylor, and Caskill deserve special com- mendation for their solo work. Miss Hulick, in her usual clever manner, gave a good representation of an eccentric American governess, while her charges, the Misses Royal and Reinhart took their parts successfully. Miss Jones, as a serv- ant, did much to add to the humor of the situation and relieve any monotony which might have occurred. A Japanese dance was very excellently given and did much to add to the beauty of the Operetta. mm Hargitg gmtml Q'Lluh Qbrrhegtra Professor Burke realizing the need existing at Miami for a permanent orchestra to play for the Varsity Club dances, called together Huston, Harris, McGinnis, Ruder and Bingu ham and proposed the organization of a dance combination to play for the University dances and other affairs for which music was needed. The organization effected, practice com- menced and the Varsity Club Orchestra made its debut at the March dance scoring a big hit. Their fame has spread and they have played at several dances in neighboring cities. Huston blows the saxaphone, Harris presides at the piano, Ruder Fiddles, Bingham plays the flute, and McCinnis manoeuvers the drums and traps. $1112 Emmi!

Johnston as president, and Edward Cromley as man- ager have been valuable assistants to Director Burke. Odysseus, the work undertaken by the choir this year, is an epic cantata by Max Bruch. In some passages the coma position was extremely heavy but the chorus of one hundred and fifty voices sang them apparently without difficulty. Miss Norris, as organist, and Mr. Clokey at the piano, played the difficult but beautiful accompanimnts. The com- bination was splendid and seemed particularly adapted to a cantata of this nature. Arionv Choir considered itself indeed fortunate in securing Gwilym Miles for the part of Odysseus. Mr. Miles unquestion- ably is the best Odysseus in America. The famous Welsh baritone completely charmed his audience. His work was made easier by excellent support of the chorus. Miss Mabel Beddoe, a young and very promising Cana- dian contralto took her part very successfully. Miss Thayer as soprano and Mr. Benson as bass were well received. Misses DeCamp, DeMand, Husted, Roudebush, Taylor and Gabler merit special praise for work done in the Siren Chorus. Other special features were the Men,s Quartet and Sextet. The choruses were wonderful. Heaviest perhaps of all was the Finale Chorus and it made a splendid impression. The Feast of Phiakes was among the very good choruses. Arion Choir this year has been a success. Next year with a clear and more definite understanding of the work and with the strong precedent set by this year's choir, we are safe in predicting greater things for the organization. $3; Egg a E g EV i3362' K6 .2. 52Q59?

Professor Gates had spared no pains in 'tralnlng the caste and hls efforts were amply re- warded. Quality Street was not the most massive dramatic effort put forth by Miami students, but it was easily the pret- tiest, and made a strong appeal to the audience. . UALITY STREET was the clever little comedy by Miss Beldon, as Susan Throssel, was excellent in her role. She gave a very good characterization of the easily horrified 01d maid and made earnest efforts to marry off her younger sister Phoebe. Miss Phoebe of the ringlets, Miss Phoebe the demure school mistress, and Miss Livey the vivacious Hirt, were all equally well taken by Miss Hulick. Messrs. Sullivan, Palmer In the play we were taken back to England, during the Napoleonic wars. learned to know the blustering army officers. We met quaint and dear old ladies and' and Chapman as army officers made excellent suitors. Valentine Brown, the hero, was interesting as Miss Phoebe's lover. Mr. Calderwood took this role. Formerly A Mr. Calderwood had taken old men's parts, but his portrayal of Valentine Brown evidenced marked ability in other lines. Mr. Wright gave an admirable portrayal of the bluster- ing, awkward recruiting sergeant, and Mr. Price as Ensign Blades was very funny. Miss Steele as Patty was clever, and Misses Gaskill and Fike, as the Misses Willoughby, and Miss Hargitt as Henri- etta Turnbull, portrayed their characters well, and helped along with the gossip of Quality Street. gig! l-n-ugkC lui; $ Z D-dAu t- 5X?

Music being written to it by M. Gilkes. As a play, it was first produced in America at the New Theatre, New York, during the season of 1909-10. This production at Miami was the first by amateurs of this country. The date of the action is the thirteenth century, and the place, a convent in the neighborhood of Louvain. The suc- cess of the production is purely dramatic. There is no place for gorgeous costuming in this simple but beautiful portrayal of the nuni's life. All of the characters deserve commendation for their playing. But since the play was more or less of a one char acter play, most of the glory for the success of the production goes to Miss Higgins. Miss Higgins interpreted her part won- derfully, and her portrayal of Sister Beatrice was extraordi- nary. The music was an integral part of the play. The Hymn of the Nuns by the Madrigal, and Organ accompaniments by Miss Norris, increased the solemnity and sacredness of the scenes. Mr. Gatesis earnest efforts in training the cast were am- ply rewarded. The production was a thorough success and the audience was pleased. It is certain that Sister Beatrice will ever be a fond memory for those who witnessed this production. thararterg The Holy Virgin tin likeness of Sister Beatricey Sister Beatrice ..........................

In time of action, in elaborateness of costumes and scenery, the play was entirely different from anything here tofore attempted. It is the custom that the characters be Chosen from the Senior Class only, and indeed the class of I91 I was remarkable in the amount of talent available. To produce such a deep and heavy play as Richelieu more than amateur effort apparently is necessary, but this production was out of the ordinary. . The title role was taken by Robert Calderwood, a char acter more serious than his usual roles, and very well inter- preted.

The object of the club is a serious one, namely, the encouragement of all that is best in all phases of dramatic work in Miami University. But to enlarge its interests and to identify itself with the national movement in dramatic circles, it has obtained mem- bership in the Drama League of America. The club has suffered greatly this year from the fact that but five of its charter members were to be found at Miami at the opening of the present year, three members in the faculty and two in the student body. But with a greatly ina creased membership r011, made possible through this year's competitions, and with some changes in the ways and means of accomplishing its object, the club hopes to make itself a very positive factor in the student life at the University. The annual banquet of the club took place in April. L - - M- --- V A R s 1 T Y ' JTUDENT E J J W. ' VIA RECENJIO BULLETINJ ; E1112 miami $tuhwt Eatahlizheit 1825 HE. Miami Student has won a place in the life of the college which it can never lose. It is the one organ which week by week indicates the throb of life in the university. For the Alumni, it is a means of keeping them in touch with Miami as she passes through various changes. For those who are at Miami, the Student is a welcome Visitor each Thursday, collecting and publish- ing for them college news which otherwise would be fragg mentary. It voices the sentiments of the student body, and to that end every means is employed to encourage the use of the Public Opinion column. Every effort is made by the staff and management of the Student to give its readers the very best college paper possible. Consequently general recognition has been accord- ed the Miami Student as a college paper of highest rank among the best college publications. The Student management has had many difficulties to face which it has met and overcome nobly. There can be no backward step for the Miami Student. The precedent set in the past is great, the endeavor of the present staff worthy of praise, and the future success of the Student rests upon the incoming students and the support of the alumni. $1 ... gas. a a A , :2 Ma, Qua.

The new title is more in keeping with the practice of other colleges and universities and at the same time is more explanatory than the old title. Several other improvements in regard to the Bulletin were also made by the Committee on University Publications. All of the bulletins were printed on paper of uniform size and of superior quality, and nearly all were bound in uniform coverean attractive brown. Then the original official seal of the university was restored to its rightful place on the cover page of the issues devoted to catalogue purposes. The nature of the different issues, with two exceptions, was similar to that of the issues of former years. One issue, an illustrated bulletin with considerable reading matter in- cluded, was designed especially to attract men students to Miami; two issues were syllabuses of courses of studyemusic and cabinet makingevaluable to teachers in secondary schools and in colleges; three issues were catalogues, one of the Summer Term, one of the Normal College, and one of the University; two issues were News Letters, devoted solely to giving information about the University to the Alumni; the remaining issue will be the Annual Report of the President and of other OH'iCCl'S to the Board of Trustees. All issues of the year were attractive; but those deserv- ing special comment were the illustrated bulletin and the cat- alogues. The Summer Term Bulletin contained a number of excellent views and was in every way well adapted to its purpose. The Illustrated Bulletin is sure to be prized by every student and alumnus and ought to attract a number of men to Miami. The Annual Catalogue is the most attractive catalogue ever issued by Miami. It is built on single but artistic plan, is systematically arranged and is well printed. No little care on the part of the Committee was necessary for this admirable piece of work. The Alumni News Letters issued in December and in May were duly appreciated by Alumni and former students. This innovation on the part of the Committee should be made a permanent feature of the Miami University Bulletin. - v: UNIOR PROMENADE arsity 4' Social 4 Club ' L 1...- ; J : . :,- -', ' R:ka - ; . --- -- ' 7- . .- . 7, - Os: 3 sank :9 a E . 3n L: LLiL- a . 2- mm iluninr Ernmenahe 13er t6nmmittee Robert Taylor, Chairman William Huston Robert Graham Esther Gaskill Morace Beard Karl Reed Ruth Cameron Thomas Reilly Earl Pruden Mary Heck Dorothy Sloane Holbrook T. Ashton HOUGH this was the Fourth Annual Junior Prom and a mighty precedent had been set by previous classes, it is the opinion generally, that the class of Nineteen Hundred and Thirteen gave a Prom unexcelled by any of those preceding it. By making this Prom entirely the work of the Junior Class it was possible to make it a financial success and at the same time assure the permanence of Miami's largest social event. Upon entering the Gymnasium, it was difhcult for one to realize that this was the scene of the Varsity dances, so com- plete was the transformation. The whole effect was that of a beautiful Japanese garden in the most festive season. Directly at the entrance, and to the right and left, stood quaint Japanese arches supported by large white pillars about which wistaria was twined. Directly opposite the entrance, beneath a similar arch, Parkeris Orchestra held sway. Between the arches lattices of yellow and white were erected. Over these more wistaria bloomed upon the gracefully trailing vines. Every bit of wall Space was covered. Where the lattices did not conceal it, large banners and pennants were used. A single row of lights was used about the track. The ugly rail- ing of the running track was hidden by streamers of yellow and white. From the girders supporting the roof, scores of red and white, orange and black pennants were hung, com- From the end of each, alternately hung a huge Chrysanthemum and pletely concealing the ugly bareness of the rafters. a Japanese lantern. Between each pennant hung a single light, shaded by a Chrysanthemum, either of red, white, or yellow. In the center the large lights were surrounded by Japanese parasols. To the strains of the Miami March Song, two hundred and ten men and women were led around the gymnasium, back, crissecross, and then paused to form the uM , extenda ing the full length of the room. The black leather programs bearing the gold Japanese MM were given out, then the grand march broke up into the first dance of the evening. The intermission coming after the twelfth dance was an all too early warning that the From was half over. During When the orchestra started up again the dancing was resumed. No one this intermission the refreshments were served. was willing to allow a moment of that music to waste.

The purpose of the founders was to establish an organization which would fill the place left vacant by the deceased Pre-Legal Club and at the same time to pursue such a study of political and social conditions as would be of interest to students other than those preparing for the law. The club at once aleiated with the Inter-Collegiate Civic 'League and has since kept in constant touch with the national organization. It was represented at the National Convention of the league by Messrs. Barger, Blythe, and Schwarztrauber. From time to time men of prominence have come to Oxford to address the club. Among the most interesting and profitable addresses were that of the Honorable W. C. Ken- nedy of Dayton upon iiThe Law as a Profession, and that of the Honorable Amos P. Foster on How May a Man Get Into Politics? At the beginning of the first semester of 191 1-1912 the club resumed its activities. It has taken up the various politi- cal and social questions that are of interest today. Commit- tees were appointed to investigate the work of the Constitu- tional Convention, the Federal Congress, the Federal Supreme Court, and the Socialist Movement. The reports of these committees have been heard with interest and profit at the semi-monthly meetings of the Club. Two successful years have shown the value of such an organization as the Commonwealth Club. The club has now justifled its existence and has established itself as an impor- tant feature of the college community. NAMES OF MEMBERS Troy T. Junk S. B. Montgomery Robert Bingham E. O. Chapman E.

In for- mer years Dr. Brandon had been the leading spirit in the or- ganization and most of the meetings were held at his home. Owing to his absence this year, the club has met oftener in the French room of the main building and at the home of Professor Kuhne. A membership fee of twenty-flve cents is assessed and in return is given a diploma testifying to membership in the Cercle Francais. Professor Kuhne plans to give certificates to those who are regular in attendance throughout the year. The work of the society is carried on under the direction of the instructors. French is supposed to be spoken at the meet- ings and subjects of interest to French students discussed. The Cercle gave a play in French this year, as usual. Several of the feast days of France have been observed and jolly even- ings spent in masquerade and carnival. OFFICERS C. T. Sproull .............................

The good Germans of Miami University are fostering this social spirit by means of the iiDeutscher Verein. Practically all the stu- dents of the German department are eligible to membership, although the students of German I seldom attend until the second half of the 'year. The ugood Germans of Oxford are welcome, too, and under the enthusiastic leadership of Dr. Handschin and Dr. Myers, the whole company makes merry together. On the evening of February 20th, occurred a great Ger- man carnival. It was the duty of each member to come masked, and dressed in German style, and to speak in the second person, singular, familiar form, to his neighbor, WhOv ever he happened to be. Fraulein Thayer and Gabler in- spired the German heart with their music, and Dr. Myers did German jigs to Dr. Handschin's German songs. Then all joined hands and the circle of happy-hearted Madchen und Herren whirled round and round to Herr Clokeyis music, until the Haxen hair must be retied, and the fat German men must stop for breath. At other times the program takes the form of readings, special music, and conversation on prescribed subjects. Then, too, the evening is never complete unless all join in singing the old German songs so dear to the true German heart. The officers for the year were: President--W. E. Steiner, Frank Sweigart.

SEKUNDE TRIAL OF STRENGTH A large, rond balle that was heigher than a manne, was then upon ye field y-placed. Six and twenty knyghtes bold were chosen to defend ye honour of the Sofomores. From ye Freshmen there weren only six and twenty squyers who gan have strength to fyt. Ye pore young Squyeres weren weaklings yet. They had not lerned to grit and fyt. When they saw that they weren vanquished long befor ye time was up they would fain have ceased ye bloody struggle. Even these six and twenty brave squyers did show a little yellow. Ye second bout gan likewise to ye Knyghtes go. YE THIRD BOUT Baron Hews and Sir Captaine Stone, Knyght of the Os- triche, relented and allowed ye Squyeres one more chance to show that they weren worthy of theyre place in ye castle. Eleven of theyre bravest men, who in valor weren not deficient, gan have ye Squyeres sent to fyt unto ye ende agaynst a squad of awkward Sofomores Knyghtes who weren padded welle and did awayte them on the field of honour. A foot balle must they struggle over to see who could stand ye hardest kickes in ye body and on ye head. In this ye hard-headed Squyeres won. Eleven men in ye whole bevy who weren brave and thicke-skulled! They weren cherecl onto victorie by theyre fellow squy- ers who now wore ye badge of theyre disgrace-a freshman cappe. The cappe had upon ye summit a larg greene button on a background of grey. The Maydens who did with ye fresh Squyeres sit, un- hepburnhalliche yelled and cheered. They gan have shoked many a faire ladie of ye castle who deemed it unseemingly, undecorous utterance to give. Young Squyer Reed, whose valour permitted him to later become a knyght of Delt Upsilon, fought most nobliche and helped to winne back ye lost honour of ye morning. Brave, young Squyer Semler, a future Knyght of Phi Alpha Psi, worked hard and faithfully and some day he will be a lord of ye Campuspea fotballe manne. Ye Sofomores had valiant menne. Fox bravely pushed forth into ye heat of battle and was ever up and running. Kersting fought as never had he fought before. These menne saved ye Sofomores from even worse defeat. Ye Squyers won ye last contest and showed ye gallant lords and ladies of ye caste that they could fyt. They lost the day and even yet a few do wear ye insignia of theyre dis- grace-ye Freshmanne cappe, with that ilka buttone on. Ye Cobblers appeared not on ye night following ye tour- neyinge as was theyre wont. Theyre leader was no longer here. Ye former Baron of Ye Castle, who also was chief High Gobbler, was not here to lead ye puny Junior Earls and self-satisfied Senior Lords in a tour of ye dwellings by ye castle, bent on punishing any unworthy manne in ye contest of ye day, who some low trick had done or yellow had ap- pear, or rather not appeared at all. Elm Spirits at the ilngtitntmn Each year sees changes in the customs and traditions of Miami. Some old timeyhonored custom is discontinued; some new fantastic fad springs up to take its place. The alumni wish to keep in touch with Miami; they desire to know what old customs still prevail, what new ones have been inaugur- atedehence these pages. We do not pretend to show all Miami College life, but we simply let the spotlight fall where it may and let you see what we are doing. Some new customs have arisen this year, some old ones still Hourish. First, the New mine F RESHMAN CAPS The green button has become an institution at Miami. A new custom is a hard thing to establish at any time. How- ever the Freshman cap has come to stay. The design for this year is very mild and the Freshmen delight in being allowed to wear such nifty caps. Next year the verdants will no doubt be required to wear a hideous array of colors by the very men who this year have worn so patiently their little grey caps. The Freshmen themselves have expressed contempt for those members of the class who have failed to comply with the gentlemanly requests of the upperclassmen. THE TUTORIAL SYSTEM The desire of the faculty to get in closer touch with the students has brought into being the tutorial system. Accordy ing to the plan each instructor in the faculty of the Liberal Arts college chooses five students each of whom meets with him once a week in conference. This system furnishes an excellent opportunity for the establishment of closer personal contact between the student and instructor. This is a stimulus to better effort in the attainment of a real college education. SENIOR-JUNIOR SMOKER The best men's meetings of the year were those in which the men of the university were brought together in an informal way for no definite purpose but that of closer fellowship. The Senior-Junior smoker was a decided success in this respect. Practically every man of the student body and faculty was present, jubilant over the Victory of our debating team. The Seniors and Juniors gave a short minstrel show and exhibition of wrestling. Coffee, sandwiches and apples were served in an informal way. Good tobacco was provided for those who desired to smoke. The talks given brought two very impor- tant matters before the students-baseball and the attempt to increase Miamfs enrollment to three hundred. N EW GATES Mr. Ells looks forward with pleasure each succeeding year to graduation time, for he knows that each class will present the University with a new gate. His plans for an ideal campus will soon materialize and soon all the entrances to the campus will be thru alumni gates. Two new gates were built last year, one at the entrance to the campus from Collins Avenue and the other leading from Bishop Street. N EW GREEKS Miami is the home of fraternities and sororities. The hrst great fraternity period at Miami saw established three national fraternities which have since grown continually in size and reputation. 191 12 may be called the second period in Greek society births. Last year the Phi Alpha Psi frater- nity was established with the avowed purpose of bringing to Miami the old charter of Alpha Delta Phi. This year one new fraternity has appeared and three new sororities. What the result may be no one can tell. Miami now has thirteen Greek letter societies and all seem to be flourishing. THE COMMONS Two historic institutions passed away this year and in their stead has come into being the University Commons. The far famed University Inn with its skeleton boarders was abana cloned. The fine old Bishop Chapel with its stained glass windows had to be used for a dining room. The dormitories had to be remodeled and it was absolutely necessary to make the change. Great regret was expressed by the alumni at the idea of changing the old chapel which had been their meeting place ever since they were preps at Miami. But the new Commons has great possibilities. It can be the nuv cleus for the revival of the old spirit of Miami for men. The hall makes a beautiful meeting place and it is the desire of the administration that such good use be made of it that it will make up in service to the Miami of the present what is lost in the sentiment and memories of the Old Miami. 091k mine in New 3131111125 F OOTBALL RALLIES True enthusiasm is spontaneous but it must be directed and united. The football season causes enthusiasm to run high and every effort is made to utilize this to the best advan- tage at the football games. The evening before every im- portant game, Miami men and women gathered at Herron Gymnasium, Bishop Chapel or Hepburn Hall to prepare songs, yells and plans for the cheering of our team. The open camp fire method added romance to the ardor and enthusiasm of the students. A jolly dance afterwards put all in the best of spirits and the success or failure of the team next day was entirely in the hands of the rooters. When rooting was good and enthusiasm ran high, we won. This speaks highly for the custom of football rallies. F OOTBALL BANQUET After a successful year the football squad was honored by a banquet at Hepburn Hall as is the custom of the Y. M. C. A. at Miami. The object of the banquet was quite lost sight of by the majority of the men present. As in former years each table tried to out-do its neighbor in getting off hits upon the faculty and students. Before the banquet had well be- gun, the endeavors of the tables had gone far beyond bounds and a pleasant evening was partly marred by the coarseness of the wit-lacking epigrams which were hurled rapidly from table to table. The faculty members very wisely let the streak of vulgarity run itself out and sat silently thru it all. The students themselves became aware of the enormity of their actions and a sentiment sprang up at the close of the evening which augurs well for clean wit and jest at the future banquets. THE MOUND BUILDERS The Miami historian must count the influence of the Mound Builders as a force exerting an influence upon the life and culture of the Miamian. The history of the order dates back to l835 and is so involved in Gordonesque mystery that the exact dates and details of its origin are unknown. The South Dorm was the stronghold of the order. The Mound Builders had a sub-rosa existence only occasionally breaking into print or Oxford College. THE PASSING OF PREXY It will be some time before the president of Miami will again be known as Prexy. Although Dr. Benton has not been connected with Miami since last June, he still holds his title and to every student of Miami under his administration he will always be iiPrexy. He left last June to take up new work in the east. He went from democratic western Miami to aristocratic eastern Vermont. The breeziness which he brought from the far west to Miami and made her the col- lege of which we are proud, will carry him on to success at Vermont. On March lst, iiPrexy Visited Miami and he was greeted enthusiastically by all his former students, and even the Freshmen got the habit and called him iiPrexy. c . ,3? QM . g. 2 2, l... ., E, 3A! 2 JOKOSEI CLUB The Senior and Junior girls, ever solicitous for the wela fare of the underclassmen, some years ago organized the Jokosei Club. The club passes rules and regulations for Freshman conduct, and if a Freshman violates said laws, she is vigorously pursued by a most effective police squad drawn from the sturdy Sophomore class. Twice each fall the court convenes in full session and quite a solemn event is this Juvenile court of correction. This year the Freshmen with exceeding cleverness turned the tables and tried their accusers. THE F RESHMAN PARTY After a most humiliating defeat on class day, the Fresh- men reconciled themselves to their fate by a spread upon the banks of the Tallawanda. The Freshmen girls arranged a sumptuous feast and invited their defeated classmates to it and thereby persuaded them to fight down their defeat as members of the class of 1915 should. mineral mater STAG RECEPTION Miami men let no grass grow under their feet in getting acquainted with the new men. It is the object of every broad- minded Miami student to make the first few weeks of a Fresh- man's career at college pleasant. They should endeavor to tide him over his homesick spell and incidentally get a line on him for further use in the next rushing season. The stag reception this year carried out this policy and a successful evening was spent in Herron Gymnasium at which practically every man in the institution was present. JOINT RECEPTION Each year the second week of college brings with it an affair under the control of both the Y. M. C. A. and the Y. W. C. A. This year the Joint Reception was held in Herron Gymnasium. The object of the reception is to develop Miami spirit and good fellowship. In order to get the new students acquainted, many devices are used to break up groups and encourage the making of acquaintances. This year Miami M's were cut in two in various ways and so distributed that the matching of them required much moving about. Light refreshments were served in the shape of coneswtice cream conesi. THE Y. W. C. A. RECEPTION This year, Hepburn Hall, more than ever before, has led in our College Social life. Here in the opening week of college was given a party by the girls of the Y. W. C. A., welcoming the new girls to Miami. The parlors, prettily decorated in autumn Howers, gave an appropriate setting for the little play, uAn Alphabetical Love Affair, which a few of the girls cleverly played. Light refreshments, music, and dancing followed. GIRLS' PROM The girls are mighty independent at Miami. If the men are not willing to have a dance, they give one themselves. Two very successful Girls' Proms were given this year in Herron Gymnasium, besides innumerable informal dances at Hepburn Hall after dinner each evening. One half of the girls play the part of men throughout the evening and make out the programs. They declare they have as good a time as they do at Varsity circle two-step dances. THE F ACULTY PROM On St. Valentine's day, the staid and crabbed professors of Miami relaxed and became imbued with the spirit of the day. The Gymnasium in the Normal Building was prettily decorated and many of the professors and their ladies danced the good old Virginia reel, the square dances and even a few the modern two-step and waltz, but no one ventured any of the ultra-modern Boston Dip or Turkey Trot dances. Sev- eral Pi Kappas watched the performance through the windows and they report strange doings and odd combinations. 2AA AA QQAAAAAA.

At the Miami Valley Knitting Mills, all the various processes in the manufacturing were carefully explained. A Visit was made to the Champion Coated Paper Mill which is the largest establishment of its kind in the world. Many facts were learned concerning the making of paper. Several other trips have been planned. GERMAN PICNIC The German department under the leadership of Doctor Handschin has always endeavored to make the study of Ger- man attractive as well as instructive. This year the German students went on a picnic one bright autumn afternoon and spent delightful hours toasting marshmallows, roasting apples and singing German songs around an open camp Fire. MINNA VON BARNHELM Two weeks of the time of all the German classes were spent on the text of Minna Von Barnhelm. On Thursday before Spring Vacation, a German troupe of actors from Cincinnati presented the play in German before an audience of about three hundred. Many Western students, the classes in German at McGuffey High School and German students at Miami made up the bulk of the audience. This is another device of the department to make the courses in German interesting. COPLEY PRINT EXHIBIT From November 27th till December 8th, Oxford was given an excellent opportunity to see some reproductions of the work of latter clay artists, through the combined efforts of the Art and English departments. The pictureseCopley Prints-ewere especially fine for the range of color values in sepia and grey they display. The prints were hung on the four walls of the Art Studio in the Main Building where very favorable lights were ob- tained. In the collection was a group by Edwin Abbey- among them his HCordelia and uHamlet . There were representative pictures from the studies of George Inness, Sr., and George Inness, Jr., Corot and Daubigny. A group of prints never much commented upon was a frieze painted for the Pennsylvania State Capitol by Violet Oakley. The exhibit was well patronized, and, as it came so soon before Christmas, many availed themselves of the op- portunity to select Christmas presents from the collection of prlnts. CONVIVIUM DOMI HADSELUM Members of the Latin Four class were much delighted, late in October, to receive the following invitation: Si tu otiosa eris atque si tu Vis, veni, 'sodes, domum Hadselum, quarta hora post meridiem, Kalendis Novem- bris ut meum potionem, qua Populus Romanus non usus est, bibas. Tua condiscipula, Mary Perine Hadsel. Responde, si tibi placet. Everybody accepted, and the Kalends of November was anxiously awaited. Arriving iidomi Hadselum, the fortu- nate ones found themselves suddenly transported back to ancient Rome. Each guest was given a unique little program in shape of a Roman lamp, by which she was lighted from one event to another. . According to the Roman custom the iiconvivas threw dice for the choosing of a regina convivi. Miss iiPons was selected and gracefully took her place while the puellae ministrae served the guests. Meanwhile toasts were pro- posed and the iimustum was drunk to the health of the pa- tron and patroness. v f . x - XTJ 1 -:,- , f 2 Hh T-Mv'g h1 -; CA g a ;-.E . .. 4 Annals 11f 111mm: Huinergitg, 1834-1912 01111111111211 1113 i3. 8.

They say that their friendship is purely iiplutonic in nature ibut that is what they all say. Look at illustration No. 3 and draw your own conclu- sions. Buster claims that a true friend such as Esther, makes up in himself for the things which he lacks. This is the only apology we shall make for the HBits of Chaff which follow. Buster has one piece of original poetry among it. There is a rumor that Esther thought out a joke all by herself, but we fear it was removed by the censor. Where the rest of the iiCHAFF comes from is a secret of the Grinds editors. A look at them will prove conclusively their incapacity to originate any of them. 3 Bridge, Buster No. Combination of No. l and No. 2 A Where Our Time Goes Careful Statistics Compiled by Recensio Grinds Editors LENGTH OF DAY 24 HOURS MEN For meals ................................. 45 min.

After careful examination and experiment embracing each room and every student in college, it has been found that the average per cent of impure air breathed is very small. For instance, in this room, each student imbibes a per cent of pure air which vary ies directly as his lung capacity and inversely as his position relative to the Windows. These are authenticated facts, and are of interest to every one. Thank you. WOMEN Meals .................................... 3 hrs. Sleep ..................................... 9 hrs.

F IRST SPECIMEN Collected my brass, secured a long piece of string, and attempted to fasten the specimen thereto in order to offer the beneflts of study at close range. Peculiar characteristics noted as follows: Light-haired - Ogreat oddityacommon among habitants of DenmarkL starry blueveyed, dichult to handle and of most extraordinary disposition. After a brief moment of nervous excitement due to magnitude of under- taking, applied bid to Varsity dance to struggling Specimen. After close observation, favorable tinge was noticed. By use of string, specimen was kept in suspense for sometime, but persistent observation showed specimen far below Swin- burne's model. Abandoned. ENDEAVOR THE SECOND Seeking new types, the College was carefully attacked in the following manner: Preparing with much care a dainty billet doux , the same was placed in front of well known Fiddelty Thate Memorial House tof which experimentor is a bricki. Effervescence was prevented by the application of rock of unusual dimensions and a little Terra del Fuego, though a few good spirits were allowed to bubble over. Ap- proach of specimen carefully noted. Manner of walk and movement of eye-brows indicate possibility of good results. Instantaneous attraction to bait tspecimen later getting hooki. Peculiarities noted: Inky locks tpartly Yale, but some her owni resembling Carter's Luster Black; sparkling eyes that could champagne; bronze complexion Hitting well with brass used in experimenti; jaunty figure, probably of speech. Exa traordinary feature: Heavy lead weights attached on either side of head, going well with bait, and iiline later handed out. Above observations made from third Hoor front with powerful telescope placed on Phi Delt grip, which specimen later caught. Motions of specimen most odd, disappearing shortly. After allowing tugging of heart strings for several minutes descended and removed rock. Movement of rock followed by violent ebullition. Filtration and concentrated diagnosis resulted in discovering the following, C.

BALL F OUR tstealing home immediatelyi Range of operations widened, and Library added to pre- sent Lab equipment. Red feather of an unusual specimen attracted attention. Immediately decided specimen was a bird. Peculiarities: extraordinary interest in experimentor's Detroit exploits, and lack of favorable tinge when major test was applied. But upon application of Knee's Begging Meth- 0d, tinge was discernible. Specimen showed most satisfactory attributes when observed under different lights, but experi- mentor was often kept in the dark. Varsity Dance test car- ried to completion. Experiment a success. Remarks: A noticeable decrease in temperature when- ever any of earlier specimens are in immediate neighborhood. Conclusions: That if Mother Nature is asked a question in the proper way she'll answer it correctly. --- GREEK REQUISITES IN THE CITY: Peanut roaster, wife, and a pair of corduroys.

Every prominent and exclusive dog of Oxford was pres- ent, by handsomely engraved invitation, and it was the consensus of opinion among the bright young ladies in attendance, that the occasion seemed little, if any different, so far as manners and intellectuals were concerned, from those attended by the cus- tomary fuzzy-hatters, fop-doodles, niddicocks and dandi-prats. -Cleveland Plain Dealer. The canines proved true sports and all kept within bounds of propriety, appearing at the ap- pointed hour, with chaperones, very efficient. The gifts showered upon Chubby were elaborate. A set of beautiful military brushes was among the gifts received. Dainty refreshments of weiner- wurtz were served. The canines seemed to enjoy the formality of the occasion and chaperones found them reluctant to depart when the festivities were over. Nixs on the Rough Once upon a time a Wall-eyed Goob hit the h Burg with a big dose of Enlarged Dome and a Wad of Hot Air. After slinging a little Cuff at Mickis he Hit the Grit to Piddleis and handed him a Bunch of Con about his earlier Splash in the Puddle of Edu- cation. Fiddle, being pretty Handy with his Men- tal Mitts, sloughed the Tough Nutt early in the Sec- ond Square, and put him in with the other Verdant Youngsters. But the Kid was a Wizard and wouldnit l come off his Perch. Before long he was A No. l with all the Queens on the map. The Dope was up- set from Start to Finish on account of the Merry Clip this Wise Old Owl made Jim Overholts give him. When some of the other Rough Necks warned him about Exams, he began to Cram, but the Mut got the Can where the Belmont hurts the Worst. Moral: Donit think youire the Only Candy in the Case, and leave the Eternal Fem alone. The Faculty of Story Telling It is a marvelous place, this palace of learning of which I would tell you.

Glee Club Appreriatinn N the preparation of this annual the most work has fallen to the lot of the members of the Recensio Board. Perhaps more than any other, this Recensio is an exclusive Junior publi- cation. However, several have contributed excellent work, and we take this opportunity to express our appreciation. To Stanley Palmer '14, and Miss Mary Belle Hargitt ,15, we are indebted for several care toons which have been used in the uBits of Chaff department. To Sidney Graeff ,14, we are indebted for the Moonlight Picture of the Towers, and several other photographs. Professor Hoke has been very kind in allowing us the use of the photographic laboratories and giving us his personal assistance. B. S. Bartlow, Alumni Secretary, has contributed the valuable iiAnnals of the University which appear for the first time in this volume. ' Wallace Roudebush as Secretary to the President, has been untiringiin assisting the editor and manager in whatever way he could. Professors Woods and Craver have been ever watchful in the interest of the Recensio and have suggested many new ideas which we have used. To the last year's management, Ellis and Neave, we wish to extend our thanks for their kind assistance in giving us advice and instruction in iihow to get out as good a book as the ,1 I Recensio. We wish to thank President Hughes who has ever been ready to give good advice and prac- tical suggestions. To our successors we commend the work of our engravers, The Stafford Engraving Co., and our printers, Hoover-Watson Co., both of Indianapolis. In every regard their work has been satisfactory.
