U., it is, we trust, tlie be ;iniiinn- of :i series to which each year sliall not fail to add its more jierfect work. Miicli have we profited by the labors of ' 92. But it will not be unexpected if we fall into novel errors. The prevailing spirit of our volume is somewhat lighter and less dignified than was that of its predecessor. If excuse is needed, let it be this: that humor is unavoidably superficial; and hence, the necessity of being enter- taining has driven us to ignore many of the characteristics of per- sons and departments which we most respect and love. For naught has been set down in malice. To posterity, then, we bequeath our mistakes with the same calmness as our successes. For we are sure both will be found valuable by future editors. Uniformly we have met with the kindliest encouragement. To all who have hel]ied us by suggestions or in more substantial ways, we extend our thanks, only regretting that space limits forbid mentioning names. We have tried to kee] three things in view in the jirescnt work: the com] osition of a book entertaining to the general reader; the )iii (luctioM of a memento of wliich the c-lass might l)e proud; and the dissemination of the fame of the Ohio I ' nivei ' sity. Now, dear reader, we have done our best. l ejoice witli us over our siu-cesses, and kindly forget our failui ' es. ©bio Clniversit . OR(iAXlZED r.V THE LEGISLATURE OF OHIO, 1804.

' ' ' ' Sweet ' ' then, ' ' are tlie uses of adversity, for she is the stronger for her struggles. For nearly a centui-y the Ohio l niversity has sat u|ion liei- hills viewing her estates and hai-boi-ing her resources. Tiie bear and the wild fowl have l)een forced from their haunts in hei ' domains. The wigwam camps of Logan and Cornstalk ha e l)ee;) supplanted by her hamlets, villages, and cities. Her wild lands have been c(inverted into fruitful fields and comfoi ' table homes. Domesticated peace reigns throughout all her ten-itories. The idle llockhocking runs its useless horse-shoe course, rejoicing that the giant Steam has forever lifted the yoke from its less sinewv neck. How great has been the chaiigel Eiglity-nine years ago the ti ' ustees met in a rude log caljin to mature plans for a I ' niversitv in the wilderness ; to-day there are four large buildings crowded with apparatus. Seventy-eight years ago the first cla ' s. numbering two, graduated; this month there goes fortli a class of twenty. Si.vty- nine years ago the liev. Dr. liobert (4. Wilson wa- installed first President and had a i ' acnity of foiii ' professors ; to-. lay the teaching force numbers twenty. The Ohio University has ever sint-e been i ' oitunatc in hei ' picsidcnts. From isos to x-22 the head of the instilul ion wa-i styleil preceptctr. Still it was this same preceptor, the Kev. .lacolt 6 Lindley, wlio iilade a collt ge Out of ail academy. Kev. Jaiiles Irvine was tirst called j)resident, but he was never installed. Dr. Wilson received the keys and charter, and ruled for fifteen years. The trustees had confidence in him, the patrons admired him, and the students loved him. Then there was Rev. Dr. McGuffey whose readers are still so popular with teachers; and there were Dr. Ryors and Rev. Dr. Howard. All these have passed away, yet the college tradition remembers many an incident of their days. Those were stormy times when Dr. W. H. Scott, an alumnus of the institution, became president; but he fought well, and won many battles, the benefits from which are still enjoyed. It was a propitious horoscope that heralded the advent of Presi- dent Charles W. Super. His administration has been marked by a marvelous growth — a healthy vigorous growth. There are the crowds of students, an increasing faculty, state aid. Prosperity smiles upon his labors and upon his institution. The Ohio University opened its doors as an academy in 1808. For four years there was only one teacher, then it was found necessary to increase the teaching force. The first college cur- riculum adopted was almost an exact copy of the course at Prince- ton. That was in the days when the Bachelor of Arts degree was almost the only one acknowledged by college men. As other institutions, enlivened by the spirit of progress, were forced to introduce new courses, the Ohio University was found in the front rank of the radical lines. Four courses are at present open to students, each crowning the deserving graduate with a degree. The four departments that existed when Dr. Wilson was installed President have differentiated into a dozen. The Ancient Language de| artment has become two, — Latin aud Greek, — each requiring the services of two members of the F ' aculty. The department of Natural Science has become four, — Electrical Engineering, l iolo- y, Chemistry, and Physics. The department of Mental and Moral Science has become a school of Philosophy and Pedagogy with two fnll professors and one instructor. Nor has })rogress ceased. The department of Mathematics is attracting students of an ad- vanced grade. Ten Scholarships have been established in order to encourage post-graduate work, and several of these have been tilled during the year just past. In this line a greater future is open. In its infancy the Ohio University was guarded and guided by graduates of Harvard, Vale, Princeton, and Dartmouth. Years have not materially changed the personnel of the Faculty. Dick- inson has given the institution two presidents — her first and her last. Other new elements have been introduced. The tirst gener- ation of O. U ' s. children, coming to maturity, entered upon lier estates and became her staff and her protection. In 18.24 A. G. Brown, class of ' 22, became Principal of the Preparatory Depart- ment. Ever since the alumni have had representatives in the Fac- ulty ; to-day six membeis are graduates of the Ohio University. There is, however, a powerful leaven from other institutions. Dickinson is represented by two men; Wooster, Wesleyan, Bnchtel, Massachusetts Agricultural, McGill, and Michigan have each one such representative. Several of these ])rofessors have studied at Vale, Johns Hopkins, (. ' lark, and Boston, while five have studied abroad at Leipsic, Tuebingen, and Sarboune. Nor is the Ohio University behind in her e(iuipmcnl. The Electrical Engineering department is drawing students from other Ohio colleges, because they are given lal oratory practice as well as theory. Twenty students may thus receive instruction at a time. The Biological department has a practical aim: it offers a Preparatory Medical Course wherel)V those students who purpose studying medicine may save one year at the medical coUege. The newly e(juip] etl lal)oratory is a model of its kind and will accom- modate twenty students. The Art department is swelling its present dimensions. Thirty-five students are registered there, and the art-culture sentiment is growing. I re])arations are under con - sideration to eidarge the e(|uii)ment. Then the Gymnasium has been thoroughly letitted and supplied with apparatus. The systematized physical drill introduced by Professor Le Rossiguol enal)les the students to realize better results than through their former non-directed ))ractice. Then there is the Lil)rary of which we are justly proud. Other institutions may have large and costly buildings and a collection of worthless books ; some may boast of rare editions and costly bindings, bric-a-brac, ornamental only: our Library is the working students ' library. The historian, Freeman, when congratulated upon the library facilities that be could enjoy in London, remarked that his stu ly shelves held all the books he used for historical reference. Sucii is the Library of the O. U to the student. It is a well selected students ' lil)rary of twelve thousand volumes. A decade ago it contained barely half that number. Since Ur. Super ' s administration began, annual addi- tions have been made; new j)ublications have been procured; old sets have been completed, until as a reference library it is most complete. Within the past year eleven hundred dollars have been expended for books. As much more will l)e used another year. Then to make this collection still more valual)le, Pro- fessor Dunkle has furnished it with a card catalogue. It is rapidly becoming one of the most unique and valuable student libraries in the State. Of course we are still proud of that first graduating class because it contained Thomas Ewing. He was twice a LTnited States Senator, and twice a Cabinet Minister; but this may not have been because he was the first man to receive a diploma from a college situated in the Northwest ; it may not have been because he was obliged to work in the Kanawha salt mines in order to save money to pay his college expenses. All things seemed to conspire together for his good. He graduated at the age of twenty-six. Fifteen years later he was a United States Senator. We are proud of him. And there was David Read, class of ' 24, whose father made one hundred and thirty journeys from Urbana to Athens to carry his seven sons to and from college. What a record Dr. Read has left — fifty years a college professor and president I None of these were ever ashamed of their alma mater, but were al- ways loyal to her. Few indeed are the children of the O. U. who desi)ise their parent. Great men are never guilty of such an act. John Sherman does not hesitate to bear witness: My father was a trustee of the Ohio University and took great interest in the institution. His eldest son, Charles T. Sherman, U. S. District Judge, was educated and graduated at Athens. But those are bygone days. How is it to-day? A class of eighteen graduated last year. Three of them were retained as instructors in the Ohio University; two others were elected to scholarships there; four went into business; three became principals of high schools; two college professors; three superintendents in public schools in vil- lages; and one is a student at Harvard. Surely the material froiu which our students are made is enduring. Our generation is not degenerate when our graduates at once fill acceptably such positions of trust and honor. We are proud of these loyal sons. They are patriotic. They realize what the Ohio University has done for them. They go forth to sound her praises and to recommend her to the youth who are looking toward college. Yea when others in(juire the secret of success, they point to their alma mater. Such is patriot- ism and loyalty. So long as her graduates remain thus loyal, their alma mater need have no fears for her future. 10 Boarb of tirustccs- AlM ' OlNTEI). CiiAs.

Brown was born at Athens Nov, 11, 1825, and died at his home July 28, 1892, After graduating at an early age at the University here, he studied law with his father, the late Judge A, G, Brown, and at the age of 19 was admitted to the bar.

Matheny, son of Loring and Alice (Martin) Ma- theny, was born at Wolf ' s Plains, Ohio, June 29, ' 70, and died at North Brookfield, N. Y,, September 5th, 1892. He was a member of the Senior class of the Ohio University at the time of his death, and was one of our most promising and respected students. As orator for the Athenian Society he won the annual society contest of ' 92, Dignified, manly, heroic, an inscrutable fate ruled that he should die among strangers. As a whole his was a most happy disposition, and one that will be long remembered and idealized by his friends. 13 ELZA ALLEN DAY. Elza Allen Day, Son of Smith A. and Eliza Ann (Evans) Day, was born in Athens county, Ohio, July 10, 18G8, and died of typhoid fever at Athens, Ohio, August 25, 1892. He was a young man of inflexible integrity, thoughtful and retiring in an extraor- dinary degree. Mr. Day matriculated at the O. U. in ' 88. A Sophomore at the time of his decease, he was highly esteemed by his fellow students. The world needs more such young men. — 0. U. Panorama. BLANCHE L. FRANK. Miss Blanche L. Frank died at her home in Plainfield, Ohio, June 9, 1892. She entered college in the autumn of ' 91, and proved a diligent and successful student. Miss Frank was a mem- ber of the M. E. Church. She furnished us an ideal, and we have a multitude of sweet, fond memories of her. — A Friend. 14 jfacult . CiAs. W. Super, A.M., Ph.D. i- ' SSgSi,, President and Professor of Greek. David J.

Secretary and Treasurer. Historian. Poet. Orator. HISTORY, REVISED. Sacred Text: The college career of ' 93 will soon be finished, and in a little while this volume of its liis- tory must be closed. Modern Version: We came, we saw, we conquered; what are we going to do about it? Our college days are now fast drawing to a close. Ante, and pass in the chips. The old familiar scenes of college life, with all their fascina- 18 tions, must soon be changed for other scenes whose beauty each one for himself must make or mar. Gee! How can we leave the girls? A new life with vast possibilities, and consequently vast re- sponsibilities, rises up before us. But we are expected to stir up a little independent dust. As we stand thus on the border land and gaze with eager eye on the fields of future usefulness which each one has chosen for himself, let us inquire with what credit we have acquitted ourselves . Did Hyde pass at the eleventh hour? And Walker, O, where was he? K we have failed to do our duty , we cannot blame the worhl if she , withholds from us her luxuries, while she sweetly beckons our deserving brother and folds him in her bosom of success. If we couldn ' t get ' em to hug us here, it ' s all up with us. Although not given to boasting (except Wolford, trs,), the class of ' 93 have no cause to blush, except from — pride We can do ' 94 in everything but pooh! pooh! class histories. Our record, , is not such as should have been the fruit of the tireless labors of our beloved in- structors to whom many of us ai-e now about to bid farewell; (There is a dispute here about the meaning of the text, Shorty maintaining that Tinker fears Billy will kiss him when he says goodbye; while I hold he is remorseful that he didn ' t get his sixth cut in Astronomy.) 19 ' And yet it compares favorably with the records of those gone before. East Wing turns out as good men as the standard purga- tories. And when we think that in a little while these happy days will cease to be except in sweet and tender recollections, we needs must pause and drop a tear to mark the spot where first we truly learned to live. (We couldn ' t revise this till we find that spot and some senior with a tear about him. Recollections is probably a corruption for it breaks the meter.)

Let ' s view this sun-flecked way we ' ve climVied together, see What lessons sanctify these kindly college days. Sweet in our memories dwell some sincere words of praise; Sweet, those tasks well done, prophets of yet-to-be; Sweet, from vision ' s mount, those far-come rays Revealing golden isles in heaven ' s azure sea. A holy thirst from out these years inspires endeavor, And zeal to wake some thought whose end shall be time ' s end; And love of man. which like some shining Eden river. We ' ve seen through history ' s dim-lit plains its channels blend. Sorrows? Why yes, there were. A comrade and a friend Went from us to come again, but did not come. Never When joys are sweet, if we life ' s surf beats low attend. Pauses the World-Pain in its ebb and flow forever. The great world calls us and we go. What smiles of fate May come we know not. Rumor tells us nevermore Shall noble deeds adown the ages cease, till late In Being ' s afternoon, their holy light to pour. Then, workers in the cycles, hope forevermore. There are no grander words than these: ' Tis well we met, The fittest of good t)yes: and tho ' we sink or soar, Not till our barques ve.x I.ethe ' s stream shall we forget. 24 Tlbc Hniiual Staff .

Early in the present year strong marks of predominance and superiority began to make themselves manifest in the Junior class. Oft times did the noble and dignified seniors appeal to us for help and counsel. Just as often did the puzzled Sophomore accost us with tears in his eyes, and implore us to bestow upon him the secret of acquiring so much knowledge. No less seldom did the egotistical Freshmen beseech us in complicated Virgilian terms (for such they think they must employ) to grant them just one tithe of the honor thrust upon us in consequence of this predomi- nance and superiority. These winning qualities have given us great trouble in keep- ing undeserving persons from our ranks. The highest ambition of every collegiate student for the entire year has been to enter the Junior class. This of course, could not be granted, for to be- come less select in composition meant an almost total loss of the prestige which otherwise belongs to the class. As for the preps, juniorism was not to be comprehended by their youthful minds. They could not even in their most sanguine moments hope for so much. Among our number can be found winners in all departments and branches of college life. In oratory w e undeniably lead. I. M. Foster, J. A Harlor and E. E. Baker are the most luminous 25 stars of this department. Haning is our leading athlete. His nimbleness and grace is perhaps best brought out in his i)erform- ance of the familiar dance known as the schottische. In base- ball, Bothwell wears the crown. His running right-hand catch in the Sophomore-Freshman game of last year, has immortalized his name. Our former artistic excellence suffered much from the loss of Miss Norton who quitted college to go with her parents to their new home near Richmond, Va. At whist we do not claim perfection, though slams are not unfrequent. Of work in class-room, but little need be said. We only invite an inspection of the grade-book to corroborate the flattering report continually circulated by the different members of the Fac- ulty. I)Ut one more year remains to us — a year which will confront us with many intricate problems. We will be called upon to con- struct an Annual, to participate in the Senior party, the Alumni Banquet, and many similar arduous and responsible tasks. Trusting that the class of ' 94 will retain her usual standing, and surmount every obstacle that is yet to come, however steep and rugged it may be, we humbly await the verdict which time must render. Class of ' 95. Motto: Noro is tht time for action. Colors: Light and dark red. Yell: Eah! Rah! Rah! O. U. Sophomore! Sis-s-s- Rootn- Ah ! HISTORY. And it came to pass in the fullness of time that our class was born into Sophomoredom, without omens or portents, but in the uneventful wav that such things are wont to occur. Some of us made our preparation at the O. U., having come up from the unavoidable depth of Prepdom ; while others of us received our preliminary training partly or wholly elsewhere. We are not known to possess a promisin orator, a budding poet, or a probable philosopher. On the Athletic Field, however, our record is honorable, if not brilliant; while on the Diamond we have several times met the enemy to their discomfiture and our credit. If there is one thing the present Sophomore class is sure of, it is that in Base-ball it is a match for the class below or for either of the classes above. In class work we have had a more than ordinary number of disagreements with the Faculty. Their estimate of our deserts and ours of our merits do not always harmonize. Our reports too often showed a lamentable lack of excellents, as well as a lack of appreciation on the part of those who failed to put them where we expected. For some of our number the uneventful tenor of the progress of our class was too slow, and they left us to join the ranks of those who were marching on before. Others fell by the wayside, 27 dragged down by the cares of this earthly existence, or the allure- ments of more speedy promotion outside of college halls and classic walls. It is uncertain how many of us will be on the ground two years hence ; but as more than a saving remnant of our original number is left, it is reasonable to suppose that a con- siderable majority will remain faithful to the end. These are they who believe with the historical tortoise that it is not gener- ally the swiftest runner who wins in the long race of life that we hope is before us ; or with the author of Paradise Lost, that it matters not if one enters life late provided he enters it well. We have already learned enough about the doctrine of the survival of the fittest to believe that it is the fittest who survive — at least long enough to enter the Junior Class. A few weeks more and in the natural course of human events most of us will cease to be Sophs henceforth and forever. A few, perhaps, will be permitted to bide a little longer ; or it may even happen that two or three may be commanded to tarry a while in order to enable them to discover something which they failed to see before. Such things will be continually occuring, and the historian records the fact simply to show that the class to which he belongs is nothing out of the ordinary. And more, perhai)s some of his readers may think he should be face- tious. But history is a serious thing. It is the historian ' s business to state facts, or possibly, to draw inferences. There is nothing funny to record about a fact. Has not our intellectual food been largely provided by the great J. Caesar, the Prolix T. Livy, by one Jjowser, and by another, Chauvenet? It is no wonder that it lies heavily in our mental digestive apparatus, and its effects were sobering enough to make us serious for a time after we had passed on to a lighter and more easily assimilated diet. See ? 28 Claee poem, Is all of truth in scMiie ( Id, Uog-eared hook ? May not mankind for coining prophets look ? ' Fearest thou mystery— groping blindly search For truth? Fearest thou truth in any form? Hast thou a dogma dearer to thy soul? Then step nf)t forth into the realm of thought; Shrink backward into dark oblivion. Truth will not— nay, it cannot— harm the true; And reason ne ' er by ri ason is o ' erlhrown. Now this, my class, which stern necessity Made me forsake,— enter the pulsing world All full of life, and love and truth unformed— This l)e the one Hxed purpose of each soul: Prepare to meet— to recognize, confess— The truth in whate ' er form it may be, found, Though it may quite dethrone thy dearest faith. Fear not that Truth shall fall by Reason ' s hand. Yet Reason unsustained liy sightless Faith, Who, smiling, clings and gropes while Reason chafes. Is lifeless, powerless, and helpless, all. Go then, nay friends, be strong, each one: reflect; Yet when thy soul ' s hands reach into the mist And grope for that which reason cannot see. Believe. Success be thine, O, ' 9.5. S, W.

Constantly while ])repariiig for this matchless lace, liave we stoo l with envious eyes watching its gradual un- folding and observing its marvelous effects. Eagei ' weii ' vc to Ix ' gin and clicerfuUy did wc, wlu ' ii Fatlu-r Time announced our 30 turn, throw off our baby blankets, toss our shining rattles and nursery bottles to our ambitions successors, that they also might not become fretful and cry for recognition. True, some of our number perished as infants, but of them we wish not to speak, only to say that they have not lived ill having lived and died unnoticed. Time being called every meml)er was in his place, universally desirous of cooperation, but individually ambitious to excel. And this was our new life, this was to be our first aji])earance in the world ' s arena, and thus we entered it by no liaziiKj i)rocess, but with the respect and admiration justly due us. Our first thought upon entering was that we were indeed traveling in ' swift company, but this was soon dismissed for that we excelled all our predecessors was soon evident by the ap- plause and encouraging words given us, by the smile which played upon the features of the judges, and farther by the disdain- ful treatment of our jealous contemporaries. Gradually did we advance as the time advanced, and soon did we forget all childish prattle, childish thoughts, and assumed a spirit in harmony with our station. In vain did Apollo plead tliat we listen to his Delphic phonograph, but we were in the race to win, and were deaf to all entreaties. Ere long we arrived at our tii ' st goal with numerous fancies and triumphant hearts. During this grand period of lecreation, our ranks were liroken; some of iis might have been found in the bleak November wood seated upon a log (arithm) writing lyric poetry for the Panoi ' aina; again others I ' ode their ]ionies still harder, that they might c itch u s ere resuming Our I ' esumption was somewhat dissimilar to our beginning, bravery su])erseding timidity, strength displacing fragditv, and 31 fonH(U ' iK e, (louhtf Illness. Thus vi ' jounieye ' l along, passing now and then broken test tubes, biological subjects, racks of all des- criptions shattered and broken by iinpassiona ' .e 98 s, and shunning all obstacles ornamented with liide from those [(receding. And now to this mirthful progress is added the exalting in- formation that among us were four who would uphold the dignity of ' 96 in the coming June circus . After some distance and no little amount of labor, a second period of rest was given us in which we were busy preparing for the coming home stretch . But soon we were again on the way, as fresh and confident as at the beginning. But not unlike all other youngsters have we escaped the taunts and darts of derision it is customary for our class to bear. Great has been our sorrow, and why not? for we have been mistaken for Seniors, are said to be as smart as Juniors, and are forced to have communications and relations with Sophs . Now of course these misfortunes are extremely hard to bear, but fortune makes lighter that which we cannot remedy. A spirit of love and loyalty pervades us all, and we can safely say that the O. U. never possessed a more obedient charge. Now as we near the close of our quarter, and chance to glance ahead, what should meet our gaze but a crowd of idle Sophs rest- ing by the way-side and rejoicing in the sweetness of doing noth- ing, while behind far, far, in the distance we hear the piping children voices crying. QuoiDitjnr, tandem ahntcre pat ' unitin )iostra, 32 Class ipociiu strong in our youthful might we tirinly stand, With noble purpose and with liigh ideals, Whose fall, no false ambition dare demand, Whose destiny, our daily struggle seals. As clouds that jiassiug, hide from us the sun, Our battles rise, now dark, now liright, till won. Bravely against the tide ' s continuous How, We struggle, seeking for a noble place. Yet stoop to pluck the fragrant flowers that grow Along the stream, in loveliness and grace. While mists that gather round us fade away And leave in even fairer light, the day. And as we march along the path begun New things shall open to our eager eyes. New triumphs in the tasks that we have done Shall lead us on where our ambition lies. Till in the end we may return and see The tasks that made us strong unconsciously. Fain would we reach still higher, till we see The fair ideals that we seek to-day. Whose greatness shall our inspiration be As all thro ' life we bow beneath their sway; For with advance, our purpose even keeps. Far, far ahead, mounting liife ' s lofty steeps. So stand we, never without lofty aim. While looking forward to the Hying years Of preparation — not alone in name— For entering Life ' s work in strength, not fears.

Tliought of Ijirdies in the tree-tops, thought of spring and flowers and love; Aye, it was a little spoony — that dream of his turtle dove. Thought if the beginnin ' was what Super said ' twould be. He would stay and hear the seniors give their yell of Kah ! ! Kah ! ! Ree ! ! ! Thought he ' d eat his hat to know how ' neath the sun it haps Those seniors seem so lordly,— such blamed hard-headed chaps. Thought of that man Elliott who calls a club his own ; Thought of Hensel, who, he ' d heard, is never seen alone; Thovight of Mac and Mardis, Beery, tTinn, and many more, — Thought and thought and thought until his head was sore. Thought — this timid preplet — he ' d be blowed if he could see What such startlin ' fools were doing round an University. Saint nor Solomon— this preplet — but he thought he knew a few, Thought he tliought and never doul)ted as some men will do. Thus it happened that this preplet lying on his cot of straw, Thought a rustlin ' kick was proper in fate ' s casehardened maw. Thus it hajipeni ' d as I told you, to this little prep of ours, lie wild thought and n( ver doulited, thought until the sunny hours. 34 Class of 9 ' 4. OFFICERS. J. A.

This year our meiubershi}) roll has not been as large as formerly; but those who are with us have exerted noble efforts to make our society excel in every exercise on our program. We have initiated several members this year, many of whom give great promise of success in llic line of literary work. I ' jicy arc ciitliusiastic woi ' kcrs. IJy (UmIucI ions from tlic world of literature, they ap})all us, and excite our wonder at their 66 extraordinary methods, logical accuracy, aud perfect consistency. Inspired by the success of former members of our society we know that many of our present members will continue in this line until the world shall be pleased to call them great. In the society contest last year we acquitted ourselves with honor: hist December in the oratorical contest our record was no less brilliant than on former occasions; this year with our present team we can enter the contest with the odds greatly in our favor. We hope our boys will win, and hold our l anner up to the world representing us as a progressive society, stimulated by a burning desire to leave the world of darkness and obscurity. By our knowledge we desire to ' ' unmask the universe and lay bare the profoundest mysteries of life . 67 IPbiloinatbcan Xiterar Society. OFFICERS. L. I). MoGiNLEY . . . President. L. W. Kooxs ....

The elective course in Electrical Engineering is constantly increasing in importance. The class has grown to double the nunil)er of last year, and the members are all bright, enthusiastic workers. The larger part of the University buildings and grounds is at ))resent lighted by incandescent lamps, while the remainder of the wiring will l)e completed as soon as convenient. The college phint, though not so large as some others, is a model one in all its arrangements, having been fitted up with the special view of practical instruction. The power is furnished by a ten horse- l)Ower Racine automatic vertical engine, and a horizontal Erie City boiler, both constructed especially for the University. There are at jtresent one Thompson-Houston and one Westing- house dynamo, l)oth direct current. An alternator will probably be added within the coming year. The switch-board, a very model, is supplied with ammeters, voltmeters, rheostats. All switches and connections are made by the class in the department shops, and all wiring is done by the students in this section. Systematic shop-work, of itself, is a part of the course, and a numl)er of motors and ammeters besides much general electrical ap])aratus, have been constructe l during the past year. The buildings are lighted regularly by the plant, and a division of the class is on duty each night, credit being given for •72 time so spent. Each engineer is expected to keep a record of the steam pressure, and of the voltage and current of each machine at regular intervals. The college cooperates with the city plant, arc lighting, and an additional night each week is spent in learning its operation. Besides the practical shop-work and dynamo tending by the members of the class, they are taught the use of electrical measuring apparatus by regular practice in the laboratory, where, by sections, they measure resistance of rheostats, coils, galvano- meters, batteries etc., and potentials and currents. Observa- tions are taken for galvanometer curves, and for both arc and incandescent lamp curves, and for the purpose of determining lamp efficiency. Thus the student, while studying the principles and theory of electricity, is from the very first, becoming thoroughly familiar with the practical side of electrical engineering. The success of our students in obtaining desirable positions, attests the value of their training. An electrical pumping station for supplying the University with water for laboratory and sanitary purposes has lately been established, and is in charge of the class. Before the opening of next year ' s work, the course of study, covering two years, will be published. IS Zbc IRcw Biolooical Xaborator , General Biology is the science of life, and the aim of such a department is to ac(iuaint the student witli the fundamental properties of living things. This cannot V)e done by a course in Zoology, or hy one in Botany; nor, indeed, would the study of hoth these important branches accomplish the eiul sought. As a well-known l)i( h)gist ex|)resses it, the study of Biology is not two disciplines, but t iir di. ' ipli)i the study ot living phe- nomena. ' ' ' It is not necessary that the student examine many organisms for this purpose; but such as are place l l)efore liim should be carefully selected, and close work must l e recpiired. Such work necessitates the employment of good microscopes; and that the best results may be obtained, convenient laboratory ar- rangements are essential. To give the students of the Ohio University all tlie help })ossible in this important work there has, within the last year, been fitted up a Biological Laboratory, com- plete, and thoroughly modern in all its appointments. At the same time, much attention has been given to furnisliing the best means for the pursual of special lines of biological investigation, and the student who may desire to continue work in this depart- ment beyond the requirements of the college curriculum will find the proper a| ] liances at hand. Microscopes with low and high power lenses are provided for individual use in the different grades of work; and the more advanced student is taught the use of 74 ■ ■fto. u Uf M Oil-immersiou objectives, several of which, representing one-tenth, one-twelfth and one-fifteenth inch focal distances, will be at hand for his own use. Recognizing the importance of offering young men, so disposed, an opportunity to include in their college studies sucli branches as will the l)etter prepare them for the study of medicine, and gain for them valuable time after leaving college, this department has been enlarged for thorough work in subjects essential to the medical student. Much importance is here at- tached to Bacteriology, a knowledge of which is indispensable to the thoroughly prepared physician. For accurate results in this branch, the Laboratory offers the most modern facilities. Pursuant to the recent establishment of scholarships in the University, provisions have been made which will enable a grad- uate student to continue his work in this department for one year. He will be expected to devote much of his time to laboratory work, as well as i)ursue a course of reading upon such subjects as he may elect. To a student who should wish to prosecute his investigations along the line of Zoology, the department offers an opportunity for the practical study of marine forms at a sea-side laboratory, financial aid being given him for this purpose. This is an opportunity which is rarely offered, and its value can not be overestimated. On the completion of his year ' s study, the scholar will be expected to present a thesis embodying the results of original work. Additions are to be made each year to the already splendid equipment of the Laboratory, and the aim will be to make it as comi)lete as any, devoted to similar work, in the West. 15 E (JSi. C. H. The iiistitulioii wliich seems destined to exei ' t a greater moralizing influence upon the colleges and universities of to-day than any other, is the Inter-Collegiate Young Men ' s Christian Association. Refining and spiritualizing in its intention, and world-wide in its extension, it is rapidly assuming the foremost rank in the list of collegiate organizations. A branch of this association was organized at the Ohio University, October 2, 1890; and during the comparatively short time intervening has materially aided in creating a religious senti- ment in the institution. The work of the current year has been in some respects quite satisfactory. Under the auspices of the association, a students ' bible class has been formed, which meets every Sunday afternoon. The attendance, on the whole, has been very good. Professor Evans taught the class from its organization until the close of the fall term, when he was compelled, on account of ill health, to discontinue the work he had so faithfully and efficiently performed. The work was subsequently taken up by President Super. His lectures and teaching have related to the history, literature and civilization of Bible times, and other subjects of a similar character. The association is growing in numbers and influence. The Bible is now practically an elective study in the college. A new Y. M. C. A. room is expected in the near future, and the outlook of the association for the coming year is very favorable. 6 1 . m. c. a. OFFICERS. S. K. Mahdis .... President. J. H. Atkixson ....

Individual work prevented the editors from beginning this book as early in the year as they would have liked. We hope our readers will indulgently overlook a number of rather serious typographical errors. The classification of students in this volume is the same as that of the catalogue. We expect more or less fault to be found with this plan, but no better one suggested itself tons. Injustice will be done some persons we hardly doubt, but yet we do not feel called upon to institute a search for sins of the Faculty in the matter of classification. The Panorama, our new paper, offers splendid op])ortunities to persons wishing to become acquainted with journalism. Few students sufficiently value the training to be had from conscien- tious work on such a publication. One would be well repaid if nothing were learned except the habit of attention which makes an expeditious and accurate proof reader. And not many besides college papers allow the student thus to educate himself with no other tuition than a little time and patience. Tiie Trustees ' ] rize is another indication of the O. IT. boom. Ere long we hope to see a similai- prize offered in a de|)artment where it will proltably redound more honor to the University than will the present one. We referto the Department of Oratory. IT sucli a prize were oU ' ered the winner of the local oratoi-ical contest, S4 ;i new race ot rators would appear and build up a reputation at state contests. Under present conditions, few are willing to put in jeopardy the good opinions of friends by putting forth their best efforts. If our University with her present record and standing among state colleges, ever takes a worthy place, it can only be through the exce])tional merit of her orators. Our boys must edu- cate themselves in this work, and they need encouragement. East Wing of a few years ago is represented to-day by tra- ditions and micrococci. The choice old spirits have tied before the dissecting knife and the cultivation flask. Here and there only a stricken few remain. The ducker has ceased from troubling, and the preplet takes a rest. The baptismal rites into the brick throwing order of the Great Unstarched, are performed under the sole auspices of the laboratory waste pipe. The visitor is con- vinced alone by a timid and apologetic I pass floating in the air, that Seven Up and Ten Spot are yet with us though under lock and window blinds. Even the distracted wail of Atkins ' fiddle called down wrath out of the heavens upon him. He is now no more. And the Wing itself so far as the purposes of the sensational editor are concerned, is also no more — but decidedly less than formerly. In regai ' d to the over-sensitiveness to jesting and cartooning manifested by many of our ])atrons, our } hilosoi)hy is about this: that the sooner one is educated out of such a spirit by a succession of sturdy independent annuals, the better it will be for himself and everybody concerned; that feeling hurt when some personal crank- iness is ridiculed is confessing that the man with all his perfec- tions is not able to renounce this one silly shortcoming; and that the wise man will join with his jesters, and by laughing at his fol 85 lies rise al t vc ' them. We should reiueiiibei ' v ditticiilty of hold- iiii;- the mind itself down to our ideal of what we ought to he; and that hy the time tlu ' idea I ' everberates in the perverse members of till ' body, iiinunierable chances of al)surdity have offered. Few of us caia hope even in time, to educate ourselves wholly out of tlie dominiou of the ludicrous. If, tlu ' ii, you have been cartooned or travestied, bear it like a man. Show l)y your actions that you have outgrown f c t folly. For the editors have tried to prevent anything from entering this volume througli a si)irit of malic- iousness, and hence have no apologies to offer. 86 ®. in. Clubs. Societas (Ibumpovum.

From the most ancient times it hath been found needful to exercise discipline and control over the iiH ' ii and youths that assembled from many lands and nations. Although the majority earnestly desired and sought learning and virtue, tlu ' re were ever a few barbarians who desired not to learn, nor to be instructed in virtue, nor did they appear at the hour of sunrise to assist in the worship of the Gods. For such, various ] unislniu ' iits wei ' e invented and painful yet wholesome tortures, but as yet no regularity or system was observed, but all wore administered according to the will of the Governor of the College. But in tiic course of tinu ' women and maidens were peniiilteil to Ix ' coiiic iiiciiil)ers of the College, and these were not fierce like the bai ' l)arians, l ut gentle and harmless, and likewise pious w itli ri ' ference to the (lods. Wherefore it was judged need- ful to cliaiigc the oi ' dinauces concerning penalty and torture, icndcriiig tliciu ap]ilical)l( ' only to the uu ' U ; likewise was it 94 thoiight good to establish a torture-chamber unto that end. Early in the reign of the present Governor C ' arolus, of the wood of the tree they call Pine, was erected the torture-chamber which they call Gymnasium, even as it reraaineth unto this day. It is of oblong shape and encloseth one large room with many windows on each side, which are ever open both winter and summer for the purpose of admitting the extreme cold and the great heat for the discipline of all that exercise therein. Along the wall are fixed many and various machines of marvelous con- struction, some for pulling about the arms, some for twisting the wrists, others for the head and neck, while one of terrible aspect causeth the man who setteth upon it to move quickly in every direction while his arms and legs are twisted grievously. Multi- tudes also there be of great clubs and of little clubs with two great ends ; likewise there be great iron rings hanging from the beams of the roof, and high upright ladders, with bars and poles and iron w eights innumerable. Such is the furni,shing of the torture-chamber. But not only evil-minded culprits are exercised in this chamber, but there be many others of the men for whom torture and great pain and labor are considered needful. It is inculcated as a principle by the i)receptors that every man shall be learned and educated with a view to the work he intendeth after he hath departed from the College. Now it appeareth that some of the surrounding regions are inhabited l)y a strong and fierce l eople, who nevertheless greatly prize the uses of learning and wisdom. Therefore they have established schools in many parts and from time to time send embassies of their chief men to the College to demand a school-master, and it hath been found that they ever select those of the men who are tall and strong and 95 iiiiu-li iniiriMl to k u and hardship. Whi ' icot ' tlu ' reason is that the youn men the learners at their sehuols, do endeavor in every way tt) torture and subdue the master, and to render his life unen- ilural le V)y means of many cruel devices. WluMefore those who desire to rule over these barbarians hold it needful to discipline themselves as hath been said in the torture-chamber of the College. Likewise is it thought necessary for instruction in virtue that every man should practice to the utmost possible extent. Wherefore also the instructor of the youtlis in virtue is likewise the overseer of the torture-chamber. He hath an unpro- nounceable name known only to himself. Many also formerly did exercise to strengthen their bodies that they might be able to run swiftly when they were appointed to strive for one o ' i the ruler- ships of the country. Now alas, the race is not always to the swift but to him that hath much money. For these and many other reasons doth Carol us daily at the hour of prayer exhort the men and youths to be constant in their attendance upon the regular exercise in the torture-chamber. Nevertheless not all are wise to receive instruction, but many are unwilling to appear, and it will be necessary to issue a command that all do come to the exercises, unless they be weak or sickly. It now remaineth to tell of the mode of exercise, at the ai)pointed hour. Where all have assejnbled he with the unpro- nounceai)le luinie taketh two great clubs, one in each hand, and coininandctli ail to do the same. Then standing in long rows, at the given signal all do begin to swing the great clubs incontinently about their heads, and this they do for a great while, until it is not possible for anyone to hold his clubs more. Then are seen signs of great ])aiii ami soi-row ujion the faces of the men. and often they do smite tlicii- heads with the great clubs; 1)ut the skillful lo S (3 hot so for their motions are Ijeautiful to behoUl. When no one can any longer liohl liis clubs, all do proceed to a corner of the chamber where a little level bar is supported betwixt two great upright bars, and they do then begin to leap in curious wise over this bar, ever placing it higher until no longer can anyone leap over it in the right way. Then do they with much effort drag along a mighty engine with two vast bars qnd over these tiie men and youths do swing most mai ' velously. Many other tortures are inflicted and much pain is endured, but no one crieth out or com- plaineth but the weak, and the idle, and the tierce barbarians, for all the wise do know that thereby they do render themselves strong both in body and mind, and ] repare themselves for the time to come. Thus have the people of the Ohi become a mighty nation and no other is able to withstand them in peace or war. Aedox. 07 IbelD nbag 27, 1892. Tlirowiiifi liasL ball 1st. prize S. W.

The evil of jinicticiiig econuiny to sia-li an exti ' iit as to de- ]trive one ' s self of the comforts of life, and to injure health, can- not be illustrated better than by the following incident. A student on becoming sick went to Dr. Tinker for medicine. After making a careful examination of the young man, the doctor concluded that the trouble was in the digestive organs, and that a cathartic was necessary, which he accor lingly administered. In a short time the -tudcnt retuined to say that the medicine had not accomjilished the desired effect, and the dose was repeated. Again he returned with the same complaint, and so sure was the doctor that his first diagnosis was right that he gave the same medicine in increased quantity. A fourth time came the young man to say that the medicine was of no effect. This time the Doctor was really puzzled, but after reflecting an instant he suddenly said to the young man, Where do you board V ' At Haning ' s Club, was the prompt reply. That explains Avhy the medicine coi(h( take no effect. Here, take this and get yourself something to eat, and the kind- lieai-ted Doctor handed the young man a half-dollar. 108 Senior Ikobaks.

(Kor ])r()of of the above statement we refer the reader to the history of ' ' ••4 in this Vol.) It is with pain that we are corai)elled thus to speak of their frailties, hut we do so in the hope of doing good to them. What iiiei-its the class ))Ossesses, we will not fail to mention in connection with the individual iiieml)ers. Trusting that each one of them may he induced by these remarks to form a more reasonable esti- mate of himself than in the past, we will ])roceed to speak of them in alphabetical order. DIVISION A. Here is found L. K. Armstrong who is noted for his hearty in- vitations to the l oys to go along to the Asylum, aiul for his many l)reaks ' ' in (dass. lie has lately been dismissed from the Asylum as cm ' e(l, but it is feareil that it is otdy tempoi-ai ' y. His future, in all probaltilit , will be among the ' loonies. ' ' ' DIVISION B. This is comp.ised of K. K. IJakei ' , V. .1. IJothwell, P. A. lirigiit and .Mary K. iJrow n. iJaker thinks himself an orator. In this he is I ' ight if the I 10 blatting of a goat may be taken for oratory. He has also gained sonae notoriety by hunting for a girl. He even tried to beat the time of a prep, but the prep could not be downed so easily. Future vocation, local jtreacher. Bothwell might accomplish something in athletics were he not too lazy. Unlike the rest of his class he is modest excejit in one direction, that is, that he imagines he can write poetry. Poor deluded creature! His future will be spent as a corner-loafer. That Bright has been wrongly named will l)ecome evident to any one on a short acquaintance. He is undecided whether to fol- low school-teaching or paddying on the railroad, but on account of his slowness it will in all probability be tlie latter. Mary E. Brown is so fall of conceit and the library which she has swallowed that she has the swelled head. She attcm])ts to write on every imaginable subject, but her language is unintelli- gible to everybody. Her future will be like her past. DIVISION F. I. M. Foster is a good little boy, full of pluck, of an aggres- sive spirit, and just enough in love to make him slightly senti- mental. He is one of the few redeeming features of liis class. Occujjation, news agent. DIVISION H. A pair of jacks, II. H. Haning and J. A. Harlor, make up this division. Haning has acquired a reputation for working the professors for credits, and for his jieculiar disposition wliich enables him to be a saint on Sunday while a devil thougliout the week. He is fond of society, and for that reason has been trying to learn to dance so that he may be in it; but it is said that he 111 M-onios liis partiKT t-veii more tliau he li l tlu ' iiieiiibeis uf the eoiigre.L(atioii to wliieh lie used to ]treaeh. lie is a coiitidential friend to every one with whom he talks. Seheminu to get into heaven without ])aying anythino- will be his work. Ilarlor is a good, jovial fellow, but he fliiiil:. he can sing. When heard, but not seen, his laugh has sometimes been taken for the braying of a donkey. No one can predict his future, lie has too numy notions. DIVISION M. T. A. McFarland and L. D. McGinley stand together here. The first knows nothing except that he and Fatty ' are from Vinton county. Reasoning by analogy it is su])posed his future will be spent as a bar-room loafer. McGinley is known as the fellow wlu wears his hat on the back of his head. He is also historian of his class. For a more complete study of his character the reader is again referred to the History of ' l 4. After leaving college, by •blowing, he will furnish air to run the ])ij)e-organ in Plymouth church. DIVISION S. To the l)rightness and su] erior intellect of Carrie Schwefel all must do homage; but, unfortunately, she is ruled too largely by prejudices and conceits. Her class should lie ))roud of her, for her intellect goes a long way towards compensating foi- the lack of it in tlie majority of the class. DIVISION W. James Westervelt— nothing can be said of him except that he is. lie has never done anything, either good r b;ul, and it is not likely ihat he shall. 112 Prof. L. — Mr. Ilonsel, (letine man.

That leaves it o])en that there have been a moral detriment. And if the World ' s Fair are a moral detriment, it ought not to Ite held at all. I don ' t mean that the World ' s Fair in full are a moral detri- ment. There will be very few people who will see the Vorl(rs Fair at all. There is no jjrovision for thcTu at the World ' s Fair. So on that point, there is little to be credited. And for the educational advantages of the World ' s Fair, I don ' t think it will helj) one bit.

I wandered in green vales, where stately trees Rose like dark monarchs, casting over all A gloom and silenee that was beautiful, Yet awe-inspiring as a somber pall. And far away the birds were singing. Clear And sweet their songs re-echoed, and to me All seemed most wonderful. Such solitude Was all of joy that one could wish to see. To be alone, alone with nature and with God, ' Tis then that thoughts rise like the surging sea, And seek for words that can with grace express What the heart feels, a task too great for me. Yet in the silence, nature seems to feel With us, the gladness that is almost pain. And leading on to other scenes of life. Changes our musings t o a gayer strain. Un ©ctober 1[C sl. S. m. ©illilan.

The aim of the Cincinnati College of Medicine and Surgery, is the education, of the highest type, of the General Practit oner. Recognizing the incompetency of didactic teaching alone to ac- complish the best results, especial attention is also directed toward practical clinical instruction. With this aim in view, a new College Building has been secured, in that part of the city where clinical material is most abundant. The course of instruc- tion is so arranged, that most of the didactic work is done in the Freshman and Junior years, giving the Senior student the oppor- tunity to devote most of his time to Clinical work. This College advocates the necessity of a broad general edu- ucation. Students having a University training, come better ] i ' e])ared to study medicine, l)ecause of l)etter disciplined minds. Especially is this true of those students who have taken degrees that have involved study in Anatomy, Clieniistry and Biology. In order to encourage general culture as preparatory to the study of medicine, this college gives advanced standing lo all graduates of the Ohio Unive.sity who are credited witli studies adequatley covered in their collegiate course. Elaborate equipments have been furnished tlie new Labratories where most thorough work is done in Pathology, Bacteriology, History and Chemistry. The regular session l)egins Tuesday September 20, 1S93. Seats and laboratory tickets assigned in the order of matriculation. Students may matriculate at any time by sending to the secretary for matriculation blanks. For information address piot jf. 1 . f itspatvick, Sccrctar , 130 M. JEiobth $t., Cincinnati, ®.
