Yet no American College has :i more interesting or a richer p;ist than our little College al Athens. It ■• pioneer in the civilization of thi west. Its history has been ;i part of thai of the Republic as well as of tin State lit ' Ohio from the very beginning. It was cot ived in the minds of those sturdy New Englanders who formed the Ohio Company in I! ' -ton. It existence and support was provided f ■ : n a r i Jinan passed by the Continental Congr s i. the Constitutional Convention wax •■ delphia. lis founders hoped thai in it. the acquisition of knowledge would In- placed upon ■ re respectable foot- ing than in any other place in the world. One of them, Manasseh Cutler, wrote: ' I have consulted the charters of public seminaries in Europe and A rica, bul none appear to me to accord with a plan so liberal and extensive as I think ought 1 be the constitution of tliis University. They evidently intended a great future for it: that it should grow up to be the center of culture and learning in the western land. Dr. Cutler proposed thai it should be named tln- American University. ' ' There is .1 Columbian College and a Washington College alreadj in the land, but no A rican College. As the American Congress made the grant upon which is the foundation of the University, no name appealed tu me more natural than American Uni- versity. Tin ' sound is natural, easy ami agreeable, and no nana ' ran be more respectable. On January 9th, 1802, the Territorial Legislature passed .in act establishing the American Western Uni- versity in the town of Athens. Nothing was done toward carrying into effect the provisions of this act. Meanwhile Ohio formed a constitution and was admitted into the Union as a State. Her State Legislature February isth. 1804, pass, ,1 an art adopting the University to In-, and named it The Ohio University. ' I ' ll.- crack of the gun and the ring of tin- ax, signals of i ' e • ' •• ' ■■■ copquering civilization, could now be heard constantly reverberating from hill to hill in this wilderness. General Putnam had landed at .Marietta in the Second Mayflower with eighteen families ,, 1788. Others followed and began to mow farther and farther into the wilderness. In 17S7 the first log cabin was built in Athens. In 1800 the town was laid out for the Uni- versity ami for homes for the professors It is tl ght thai the surveyors misunderstood their instructions; thai they were sent to locate i1 on the plains about one and a half miles ■thwesl of the presenl site. The firsi school, not a five school, was opened the Uexl veer in a log cabin and was taught b a ' . -. Goldthwaite. •lust one hundred years ago the firsi board of trustees ind in a rude log cabin and procee led to organize and plan for the opening of the University. The course of in struction Ind down June 9th. 1808, consisted of the Eng- lish Latin ami Greek languages, mathematics, rhetoric. logic, geography, natural and moral philosophy. Tlie also provided for the erection of a two-story brick building 24 x 0(1 which was completed the next spring. It stood near where its memorial monument now stands and was removed many years ago. The Ohio University opened its doors June tie first, 1809. tin that day three boys, John Perkins. Brewster Aigley, and -loci Abbott, entered tie- Academy. Rev. ■)■, b Lindley, a graduate of Princeton, was the first and only teacher for three years, when Alliums Sawyer, a gradu- ate of Harvard, was employed to assist him. The first class compose ! of Thomas Ewing and John Hunter gradu- ated 11 1815. One member of this class, Thomas Ewing, made n famous and has earned honor Eor the University. I!.-  :is twice a United States Senator and twice a member of the cabinet, Secretary of the Treasury in 1841, and Secretary of the Interior in 1849. The rugged hills of Southeastern Ohio did not appeal to all who ' ••! i live in the great west as it did to these earl) New Bnglanders. The level or gentlj rolling lands of the ili. . ' mil the fertile valleys of the lower Ohio and Scioto rivers attracted the must of them. Ohio grew rapidlj in population, bul communication between the dif- ferent parts was difficult. Athens grew I ' m ma few families in 1800 to tily three thousand in population in eighty-five years. A lull faculty of four members was organized in 1822 with Rev. James [rwine, Presidenl l ' the University. The attendance in 1839 reached two hundred and fifty. During the first fifty years, after L815, a class of from one to thirteen was graduated every year except in 1835 when there was none. Tin 1 only source of income was tuition and forty-six thousand acres of land contained in the two townships which had been set aside for thi support of tin 1 University. Land was so plentiful and cheap and students so few Unit tin ' i tme must be very small. Tin- energies of earlj settlers are usually spent upon the clearing of the forests and in the overcoming of sufferings and privations whicl nl ' I every pioneer. There is little deniafid for college graduates. The growth of the I diversity was is- sarily slow. Ben there was no Abelard tu attract thou- sands of students into tins wilderness from all over the country, uor were there thousands of young men in tins great west starving for intellectual food. There w§re In- dian boys, but bear meal sntisiivi] them. This University whs built in tin wilderness Eor the education of tin- people that were to come, and stands here today a grand inonu- iiirnt in mil- forefathers ' love of learning. The first president, Rev. James Irwine, A. !.. Isl ' J- U-i. was followed by Rev. Robert G. Wilson, D. 1).. 182439; Rev. William II. McGuffey, D. D., LL. I).. 1839-43; I; -v. Alfred Ryors, D. I).. 1848-52; Rev. Soloman Howard, D. !;.. 1. 1.. 1).. 1852-72. Each contributed Ins best efforts to the building up nl ' tin ' institution. These men themselves poorly paid foughl valiantly with poverty for the institu- t ion. William II. Scott, A. M . an Alumnus, was president from 1873 tu 83. IK- fought hard and won many a battle. Th. ' administration of Charles W. Super, A. M., Ph. D., 1833-96, folli ws with a vigorous growth. lie brought an increasing enrollment, a strong and growing faculty, and direct state ' aid. Dr. Super resigned ami Rev. Isaac Crooks, I). I).. LL. I ' ,, became president, 1891-98. Dr. Super again served from 1898 tu 1901 when Alston Ellis, Ph. D., LL. D., was elected president. Dr. Ellis ' administration is marked with increasing prosperity. Ti e state has commit tri] herself to the support of the Unive « : iy i ' l t ' ■ I ' ll, Her finance i now fixed upon ;i permanent basis, there is mi longer a struggle iih poverty. Formerlj her ttachers were poorly paid and there was no building fund. Now the state is liberal in her appropriations. Last year her total receipts were $123,200.14. of which $38,587.74 for the College of Liberal Arts, and $36,329.75 for the Normal College is the income from the si. it. tax levy which is a fixed and permanent ratio. The campus cleared for the flrsl 1 n i i 1 1 i 1 1 l has been replanted with an ordered forest, and here in the place iif one small building siamls eight. The Central building erected in 1817 is the oldest college building of the west, and is endeared t many by a thousand strong and tender associations. The easl and wist wings, erected in 1837 ami 1839, have furnished homes fa- many ambitious po r boys, Both nf the latter buildings were this year complete- ly remodeled; The old chapel building which contains the two literary halls was erected in 1883 and removed to its presenf site in 1896 in give place i Ewing Hall. Th - more modern buildings are: The Normal building or Ellis Hall, erected in 1903-04 (minus the wings) : the Carnegie Library, 1906, and the new dormitory, Boyd FTall com- pleted in 1908. The campus with these buildings in the background is very beautiful in the spring and summer. Tin ' College of Liberal Arts was the original college and granted the A. 11. degree only. The course was copied C mi ' ' ' Hi. •! ten an. ' everything was required. The same offrr ' ' .re • scs. ihe classical, the philoso- phical, the scientific, and the pedagogical, with an elaborate syste E electives. A corresponding degree is given upon ihe completion nf each course. To this College has I q added ihe College of Music, the College nf Electrical and Civil Engineering, the ( ' mercial College, and the Nor- mal College. With all these additional attractions Ohio University remains the small college. The largest class ever, graduating from four year courses was thai nf L906. Twent y-two r ived their dipl as thai year. There were thirteen in th.- elass ,,f ' ;!]. Th,. enrollment for 1906 was 1319, tail 656 of these came in for flu- summer school, which leaves 663 students in In- divided wiih the colleges for t In liege year. The Ohio University now has greal rivals in this greaf west, yel she survives ami prospers and Imasts nf all the advantages i uliar in the small college. Six hundred and thirty-five men and women have re- ceived bachelor degrees from the Ohio University. Miss Margarel Boyd, 1873, was the first unman to graduate here, and also the first to break through the c lucational I in judiee in ihe colleges nf the country. Shi- was permitted in register, at first, by special privilege and her name appeared in Ihe catalogue as .Mr. Boyd to c eal her sex. Alumni have Idled many high and responsible positions in la«. in politics, in the ministry and iii educational work. Space will nut permit us in name soi if her best known al ni. They are to In ' found aj i the able, self-reliant, si ssfnl m. ' ii in every vocation. We must keep in mind. however, that the influence of a college is no1 limited to its aluiuni. A very small per cent it those thai enter implete a four year course. Many tak. ' a short and many more ' j back t their homes or two years. Nevertheless every f these ill take sum.-. thing of its culture and refining influence t Ins neighbors, and i tt-|)i r - them with a love I learning and trulj noble ideas. These are often sons of farmers and mechanics and of others who can not afford t ' _ ' i to a pretentious institu- tion and take a long and expensiv urse. Th - is speci- ally true of Cutler ' s University which lias always been a poor boy ' s school. Who, then, can estimate the influence as teachers and citizens, that the thousands who have matriculated al the Ohio University have exerted in behalf i I education and humanil 0. C. S.

It is necessary to go far back even to the begeinning ni ' history to account for this class of 1908. To must people, and even to sun f the professors, mi doubt, this class has always seemed a very ordinary one. This only seems so because they are accustot 1 to seeing it every day. Some one h;is said, Let but the rising of the sun or the creation of a world happen twice and it ceases to be wonderful. The great 1 Am came forth in his golden chariot and found a class He threw himself into its miilst and ' -.-■■r. . ' an ordered universe. He placed Adam and Eve upot i ; i earth and gave ' lean dominion over the tish of the : ; nl c.vi ! the fowl of the air, and over every living thin; ' I ' .: upon the earth. Noah with his ark save.

The fabled Hellen gave us Greece with Demosthenes, S crates, Thucydides, Hercules, Homer an 1 Euclid. Aeneas driven across the Mediterranean after the fall of Troy founded Rome, giving us Caesar, Cicero and Virgil. Caesar beat a path into northern Europe and plowed a furrow across the channel for the advance of these great achievements. Columbus led the way, and the Jamestown Colonists in three small vessels and the Puri- tans in the Mayflower carried them across the dai k Atlantic. The second Mayflower brought them to Marietta, and Dr. Cutler ami Israel Putnam built a tabernacle for them at Athens, Ohio. Thousands have come to this tabernacle hungry, lean, and weak. Here is spread a feast of intellectual and spirit- ual food generated by the ages. It was for this feasl that the members of the class of ' 08 ram,, to Ohio University. They didn ' t ne together. S came three, some four. some five yei rs igo, and s e have been lien so long that no one remembers just when they did eo They represenl all ages and stages of civilization. It might be difficull to point nut who is the youngest and who is the oldest. As ;i courtesy to them we will allow that each of the five girls is the youngesl in the class. It is more diffi- cult to determine to which belongs the honor l ' the most years. We are not able to decide which is the surer sign of age, the bald head or moustache. Some boys raise an early crop of moustache .just to be smart young men, and others get their hair pulled for being smart. The older members, in appearance, however, are keeping up and abreast of modern thought. Since Roosevelt began to ad- vocate large and healthy families as the foundation of a strong and healthy nation and so severely to criticise the present race suicide two oJ them have married. The different members of the class have distinguished themselves in many different fields. It would be impossible to say who is the greatest, for, both in college and society, their fields of labor and tastes have been so different that there is ao common plane for comparison. Lever has won fame .-is an athlete us wide as many a winner in the llympic games of old Athens. Mayes has managed the lecture course for tin years and proved himself an excellent financier. Mr. Prank Johnson h;ix won some fame in the pulpit at Glouster, Chauncey and Luhrig. Johnson is our minister and reformer. It would require more than the alotted spi to record the deeds of all the other members nf the class, and moreover their works need nut be re- corded to be remembered. But Mr. John Adams, a rela- tive of Samuel Adams, must doI be passed over with the above excuse. He has been known to the class only one year, but they immediately 1 ognized in him a true prophet as well as a great teacher. We must leave it to him to write the future history of this elass. The history of the elass as an organization is not long. The members t together for the first time on May 30th, 1907. They organized and elected officers for the senior year. The were glad to see each other and get acquainted for, as we noticed above, their University courses had been .so different that some were almost entire strangers to each other. They decided to meet often, to go to chapel occas- ionally, and to publish an annual. To get material for the annual they have organized the lower classes.

Hut we thinlc we have something greater ami more lasting than any of these; something that does not suc- •uiiili to the vicissitudes of chance nor the frost of passing year- It is that spirit which makes the memory of col- lege days worth cherishing- the spirit of Good Fellow- ship . This we have tried to make our distinguishing virtue. To this time we have no1 suffered with the deadly poison of partisan politics. For three years we have studied and played like brothers and sisters, hand in hand. And when at the end of another short year, we hid old Alma Mater the last fond farewell, we will do so hand in hand, with hearts that heat in unison and Friendship. This is our ambition, .air prophecy, and our purpose. THE HISTORIAN. P. S. — In our hurry, hurry, hurry , we forgot to mention our class professor. Allow us to introduce Mr. W. Hoover, Esquire.

Now these warriors were men i adventure, bold in conquest and powerful mi the field of battle. And it hapt thai they once were com- pelled In ilu battle with a certain other race of | pie who sought in mil In them in mental dexterity and physi- cal prowess. Loath in say that to their rivals later came the pensive reflection of how vain the pursuit el ' glory may he when superior champions are in the Sel i. Ami finally ii came about that these Knights along Willi their gentle sisters, who together were known in the ancient chronicles as the Gens M C M X Ohiensis Uni- versitatis, came into conflict as to cunning and wily Ways with one other people known as the (lens . l ( ' Jl 1 X . a very boastful nation, haughty in demeanor and niueh exalted because of supposed achievements.

And, as the treasure was one day reposing in the stronghold of one of tin- nation ' s chieftains, some wary youths of the plotting gens stealthily effected an entrance to the stronghold and after diligent search round the sacred banner in an ancient chest bound with leal hern straps and a look of steel. And having secured the prized pos- session these same daring youths hied themselves away quickly to the tall forests. In anticipation of possible discovery, and being at that time separated from the others of the tribe, they made haste and secreted the pri ze in the rear of an antique enclosure that had been used as a. receptacle Tor fossils of the age of carbon. Where- upon they summoned certain leaders of the tribe ami with great joy related their adventure. Amid the inextinguishable laughters of the godlike warriors, certain of the others were despatched to bring forth the bidden banner; and when these were returned, they proceeded ruthlessly to rend the cloth, and ere long it was torn into shreds and Ihe rare stuff was indeed a pitiable sight. At the break of day. what was the discom- fiture and chagrin of the Gens M C M I X to see their proud ensign floating in ragged remnants from the tops trf sundry poles and lofty sycamores. And this is but one of the many tales that have hern banded iown by the ancient chroniclers regarding this en- viable and much favored race.

It is one of the three state institutions in Ohio for the training of teachers, the State having never entered upi n this work prim- to 1902. As Ohio was almost the last State in the Union to undertake to train teachers at State ex- pense, she had the experience of many other States to serve as a guide. Vet. the plan inaugurated by Ohio was unlike the plans pursued iu all ether States. Never had any State undertaken to establish a teachers ' college or normal schol in connection with a college of liberal arts Ohio University was established in 1804, and had a long and successful carer as a college of liberal arts. Many eyes were turned upon Ohio to watch the experiment. Bui as Ohio University was already a State institution, the problen seemed easy of solution. After six years of trial and a steady growth ii the attendance ngen the Normal Colic... classy, it can be said that the experiment has been ' ;uite i . sesefnl. The presence of a higli-grade college of l ; l ' i l ' ■■ ' .-. i i which all e irinal college S }J lents ' nay pur- • le I . ' ' : , wllegii h work, has been beneficial to those who wish to become leaders iii the teaching profession. and the presence if the Normal College has been equally advantageous to those who pursue work in the college of liberal arts, and many such students have taki n much of their elective work in the State Normal College. Thus standards in both institutions are kept hi Ji. and each one profits by the presence of the other. The State Normal College is supported by the State in a separate levy of 1 1-2 hundredths of a mill, which on the present valuation of the State, yields a little more than $33,000 a year. This looks very small in comparison with the $63 ,000 appropriated by New York State in a single year, or the $350,000 by the small state of Massachusetts in a single year. Yet. the prospects are very encouraging and (Ihio will not hue remain behind her sister States in this important work. The courses of study in the State Normal College were fashioned after those of the best State Normal Schools in the United States, with such modifications as experience would suggest, and as conditions peculiar to Ohio would demand. The courses meet the needs of all classes of stu- dents preparing to teach, and all classes of teachers desir- advanced professional study and training. For those who have nol enjoyed the advantages of .1 high-scl I training, there is a Norma] Preparatorj Course, which leads directly to the Normal College course of two years. The latter course is designed also Eor those who are gradu .1! ' L ' od high schools. Upon the e ' oinplel if this course a Normal College Diploma is granted, and t ' nosi ibtain iliis diploma are well trained to teach in an) elementary or graded school in Ohio or elsewhere. This diploma is accepted as a life certificati in several Western simIis. and oughl i be so considered in 1 1 1 • _ Tl hold tins Normal College Diploma maj continue in any r.-il four-year courses in the Normal C llegc ' .1 College of Libera Arts ai ive a baehel r ' sdegn two years more.

Ohio University was not the lasl among institutions of higher learning to recog- nize this need. In iso.i courses were first offered in commercial branches, and from that time there has been a regular development of the equip nt and course of study with a view to m airing both worthy of a state in- stitution. ' Phi ' current catalogue shows a list of Hi! 1 students who wore enrolled in commercial classes hist year, Of this num- ber, 4ii were students in other departments who elected one or more commercial subjects as a part of their regu- lar course and the remainder were here primarily for com- mercial work. Tlie larger number of those who came for Commercial work alone were also enrolled in other de- partments. The regular student has opportunity, as a part of his elective work, to gain the valuable training which this department affords, while the special student is brought into contact with the general work of the institu- tion. Several young persons have graduated from a de- gn •■ course who came here originally for a year ' s work in Accounting or Stenography. On the other hand, not a few students in other courses have found after leaving school that the training which they received from their eleetives in the Commercial College was of great service of them. Tin curse of study offers to graduates of first-class high schools, two years of collegiate work consisting of English, .Modern Language, 1 ' . S. History, Political Econ- omy, .Money and Banking, Accounting, Commercial Law. Corporation Finance. Stenography, and Typewriting. The equipment has been extended until students have oppor- tunity to become acquainted with all important modern office appliances. The most valuable recent additions are a Burrough ' s adding machine, a four-drawer cash register i f latest design, and phonographs for dictation iii Steno- graphy and Typewriting. During the past year frequent calls have lx en received for teachers of commercial branches. In every instance where the position was a desirable one. a good, general e location was required of candidates. Until the iii ply is much Larger than at present, college graduates bavins a knowledge of commercial branches ij ' d ability bi tea.-!i, will find no difficulty in securing employment ; o ' salaries.

Hizey, has done some note-worthy things in recent years, not the least of which is the admirable work in the performance of The Creation and The Messiah on December 12 and 13, 1907. A symphony concert lias been given, and the commencement music fur- nished by the College Orchestra far surpasses anything given by the bands imported in former years. S ' SC-cLck =.- - ii COLLEGE organizations have witnessed greater prosperity and growth than have the J i hristian Associations. Many members of the faculty, at times, express their appreciation of ' T 1 the Christian spirit that is fostered in this, a state institution. The great majority of the students com- ing tu Ohio University come from Christian homes, and register, upon their entrance, as belonging to si Chris- tian church. An enumeration of the different things ac- complished by the V. M. C. A. within the past year would weary the reader. Suffice it to state here just a few of the many important events of the year. Five of our strongest students, Messrs. J. R. Mayes, N ' ice, Iluhn.

Kverj term the association has given a social of some kind in order that the men might get better acquainted and so fee] more al home with the association men. Our Friday eve meetings have been most sm ssfnl. The meet- ings have always he n made short and interesting. The music has l i .-n well provided for by Messrs. Huhn, Speck, and Ridenour. Bible an I .Mission classes have been conducted regu- larly during the fall and winter terms. The Bible classes, tanehl by Profs.

The Univer- sity i which it was founded has always found its students eager to indulge in pursuits of a literary and forensic nature, and the Philomathean Soeiety from the time of its inception has always been pre-eminent in bringing into its members tfa ns si representative of the col- lege activities along those lines of work. Among its mem- bers have been numbered many of those who are known as the most prominent alumni of their alma mater, and who have reflected honor upon all of their collegiate con- nectiqns by success in the law, tho ministry nnd other vo- cations for which they received their firsl training in Philo halls. The history of the early days of the Society is some- what interesting to those who have personally known the organization only in the most recent years. M hereas the Society now meets in ample and well-furnished quart ' rs in Music Hall, the original place of assembly was in the attic of Auld Central in close proximity to the pres- ent ghostly regions of the Medic pickling vat. The meet- ings s -vv then open only to members of the Society, the intrusion of either Athenians or non-Society students be- ing guarded against with the utmost diligence. The ini- tiations were very formal and impressive, the Society spun most brotherly, and the duties of the members, directed by stringent rules, were discharged in the most exemplary manner. Only the sterner sex was admissable to membership, girls being debarred from all such privileges until the or- ganization of a girls ' soeiety, the Adelphian, in 189 . Later, however, a.s the co-eds became more formidable, they wore admitted to both of the present organizations. The loyalty of Philoinathenns to theii Society has al- ways been note-worthy, and ' ■hen- interest in its best w el- fare continual. In reeent scars they nave nphiroe he high standard of attainment sel bj the pion ■,-, o. t 01 y in the regular exereises] but in various contests ■ : I i ■ pointments to literary honors. One oj i le annua ' is the contest between Athenia ami 1 ' ! •• Brown Prizes in oratory. Since 1901 when - • , . - were tirst awarded, Philos have won first horn rs four times and nd h  ts three times. The first prizeman last year was Malcolm Dong] as, ' 09, who won the usual prize and .in additional sum offered by Messrs. K. -1 Jones and I. M. Foster, two prominent Philo alumni of Athens. l ' he Grosvenor Prize in debating and the Emerson r for english verse were also won last year by Philomatheans. Tl is year the Society lias five oul of the six members nn the debating teams, and also the two alternates. Out of eleven in tin- English Club, with two non-society members, six are useful Philos. Ami if any other honor were needed it mighl 1).- said that the editor of this volume has been for two years a loyal member, ami held import- ant oflices. He has, therefore, reason to lie proud of its present representation in college literary activities. I ' ll. President ' s gavel was wielded this vear by the Editor of the Athena  ho served two terms in this office since his initiation. 0. W. Curran. ' (lit. and P. B. Elilde- brand, r 09, who is the present incumbent, having 1 n re- elected for a second term. Th Society is always careful of the social enjoyment of its members, and at hast one of its functions given in honor of friends and incoming students was among th« pleasantest events of the college year. Its rubers believe that to be a Philo is both a priv- ilege and an honor, and this idea they seek to impress upon every mw initiate. The host astrologers have averred that lunar lit ' . ' , health and prosperity attend those who have taken the Philo vow and inscribed their names upon the Philo roll.

Miller Earl Mast In the year 1819 the Athenian Society of Ohio University was organized. Then her numbers weir tew. Twenty men. realizing the advantages ol literarj work, became the found- ers ol the nev. association. This society was bul of manj of similar object and name found within the limits of the state; and. natural]} enough, from its founding until now she has shared the frowns and fortunes of the institution. By an act ot the General Assembly the society was incorporated December 19, 1836. In looking over the records one finds there have gone out from Athenian halls those who havt been leaders in all the activities of life. Prominent among the many thai grace the pages ol Athenian history are such in. ti as E. R. Anns, ;. B. Right. S. S. Cox, Ben Butterworth, D. H. Moore. !.. C. WcGabe, and I. M. Safford. Tin re have been many changes in matters of government. Formerly lines of varying magnitude were charged for everj offense. It was not at all uncommon for a member to be bronghl face to face with the fact that his society indebted- ness amounted to five dollars. Imagine the joys of the treas- urer under such conditions! But all these things belong to the past. Now. the present day problems of society work concern us more. We endeavor to make every student that enters Ohio UniversitJ reel that the Athenian Society is another name for opportunity, an association in which he is given a chance to find himsell and come to his best. Our central aim is not so, ial. but at the beginning of each term of school in con- nection with the literary program an informal reception is given. Here one has the opportunity of forming a larger acquaintance, of catching the spirit and enthusiasm of col- leg- lit.-, of advancing a step in a social and intellectual way. As the school year comes to its close society interests center in the inter-society contest. We are glad to record that in this form ot literary work we have always proved ourshes worthy. The first contest was held in 1901. From then until now Athenians have never lacked the earnestness, effort, and energy required to secure a place of credit in this form of literary endeavor. The prizes received by this society equal those received by her sister association. And who will say what the presenl year may bring forth? It is ours to believe that victory will again perch on the, banner of the Athenians.

U. is a strictly honorary society whose object is to discuss no- table problems ami current events in science. It was organized in the spring term of 1907 by Dr. Bentley. Dr. Hoover. Dr. 1 Prof. Atkinson, and Prof. Doan. Later the departments of Civil Engineering and Elementary Science were ad- ded and Dr. Chrisman succeeded to the place ot Prof. Doan. Its membership consists of the professors of Biology. Chemis- try. Mathematics, Physics. Psychology. Civil Engineering, and Elementary Science with their assistants, and not more than three students chosen from each department, the basis of election to membership being strictly excellence in scholar- ship. The meltings are held monthly on the Saturday evening nearest the fifteenth of the month at the homes of the different professors, the students entertaining the club once during the year. The programs consists of original papers. the major paper about 40 minutes in length, read by the head of a department and the minor paper. 20 minutes long, by an assistant or student. Current events are given by three students. Both papers and the current events are thorough- ly discussed by all present. The club has quickened an interest in scientific affairs and produced quite an effect on the advancement of scientific work in the University. BIOLOGY Dr. W. P. Mercer. Professor A. A.

During the winter of 1907 preparations were made for several inter-collegiate meets and considerable spirit was shown, but the great Hood of that spring put the track and field in such condition that outdoor training was impossible, the meets were cancelled and the usual field day exercises were held late in June. These exercises proved beyond doubt that we have in the University material for a first class track team, and preparations are now being made for the proper exploit of this team before the athletic world of Ohio Colleges. ra igSjOEniWW l«WU «- 0t )tv gtfjlettcs; The Inler-fraternity and inter-class games of the Base Ball League, especially was there much interest and the season was very successful despite the fact that Delta Tau Delta and Beta Theta Pi all being tied for In foot ball the Civil and Electrical Engineers life and training the surveyors were soon able to out game ended with the score of 18 to in favor of the that gridiron defeat by later in the year winning a ponents.

Mayer n Cbucattonal problem T1IK HIGHEST type of civilization depends upon these things; first, to see oursilves as ithers sec ih, ' ' and then to do unto others as we would be done by. A little thought will show that the working out of the second maxim in practice depends largely upon the fulfilling i ' the first Or if you like it thai way. the two propositions will reduce to the one in which yon put your- Belf in the other fellow ' s plan-, making, as it were, a sort of i ' us ex machina out of yourself for the purpose of view- ing yourself, while at the same time you retain tin- priv- ilege of remaining in yourself, in a way, for the purpose of viewing the other fellow, which surely makes the mat- ter very plain. So. then, the ideal civilization is when each fellow makes a proper estimate of himself and the other fellow an.] acts accordingly. The acting to lie brought about in the Methodist way of getting a man under conviction by showing him himself — First seeing, then doing: the doing leading to more seeing, and the seeing to more doing, and so on upward and onward forever. which, after a while, will make a rather high civilization, as cue can readily To this high estate, however, some individuals in the world ' s life, have already approximated closely, and others doubtless are on the way. This idea of civilization is constantly concerning itself with the other fellow, constantly insisting that he shall have ecnial rights, privileges, and opportunities, that he shall he equal before the law. constantly urging that, if he be mentally, morally, or physicaly deficient, his inter- ests, for that very reason, shall be the more carefully con- served by the strong and powerful, just as a younger or foolish brother is loved and cared for by an older or wiser. Tile spirit of this idea is that of a world wide democracy, or better perhaps, brotherhood. And this is what prophets have predicted and poets dreamed of — the perfect day, the federation of the world. Wis.- men and good men have striven to bring it about. So if I love him, then, I may be my brother ' s keeper. Civilization is a matter of education. An essential element in both is individual thinking — an intelligent action of the brain. Neither comes without effort. For a long time it was erroneously thought that an education could be had by committing to memory what had already been thought out and put up in language packages by more intelligent persons, just as some people now thine health can be put up in bottles, ills ler ' . • . and lozenges and taken by ' . my : ,. s i much health. When a t. fa ... alth ltd cation must both be .: 01. i. Both being conditions thinking and doing. The difference between ' , educa- tional d ' ■ : medicinal doping being that in the form ■ tl in gets the testimonial, in the latter be u ' ives ! i iviiization like medieval lucation produced iults because the idea underlying both was ii. i itally wrong. Education, as has already been said, comes from thinking and doing, hence the medieval teacher, and by that term I do not necessarily mean the teacher who lived in medieval times, who acted as a task- master rather than a companion thinker, never became an educated person any more than the student who polly- parroted under him. Just so, the medieval rulers or ruling classes, and by these terms I mean those who hold medieval ideas, rather than those who lived in medieval times, never became civilized because they devoted their time to ex- ploiting those they ruled, being task-masters and robbers rather than brothers to them. And so, neither masters nor people were civilized. The former because of false ideals, the latter because of none at all. Some of the most prominent and disagreeable charac- teristics of uncivilized and half-civilized peoples of former times were, their brazen boast fulness, their fondness for vain show, their cruelty and want of genuine feeling- and sympathy — all of which was calculated to impress the a ] ml and weak about them and to secure themselves ii . • iosit ' s as ' ■bey may have assumed or usurped. ah tin .: icivi I nm! ' • d ' civilized, however, did not live in medieval t lie, o t ' u ' lies, characteristics are even yet valu ible h dications— an : lict m nts in our own time and coi t.r. . Our ancient progenitors, who styled t ' .i iselves the upward or straight going Aryans, call • ' ■ ' . - surround- ing people the children of the dark, whin they, theins !v s. were the Sims of Light. Their lands were [ran. tl t; ' .: ■- inated; the surrounding lands were Turania, era ' . . lark- ness. Boasters, these Aryans, and fighters, vi. ■ us and prolific, filling Europe with Aryan people and ' I: tioisn of their wars and conquests. And so our civilization be- gan — a long cry from that beginning to the highest thought of our own day. from the bedizened glitter of a hundred titled king of some Persian horde, to the quiet, unassuming, gray-tweed-clad, one-titled Mr. Gladstone, arbiter of half a world. While the Aryans were spreading from their ancient home, another civilization was being built down in Pales- tine under the leadership of the great teacher Moses, and his successors, superior in many ways to anything that has ever been seen. So. the Aryans were not the only sons of light — they were boasting. Neither were the other fel- lows altogether sons of darkness. They were lied about. The Greeks were the most wonderful people of all the ancients wonderful in art, literature, and life. Many things they did, have never been surpassed, some never equaled. In most ways they were superior to those na- tions about them whom they called barbarians. Yet at about the time they were in their highest glory another type of civilization was being made in the far East, a type of culture unlike that of the Greeks it is true, but not unworthy, just as the philosophy and precepts of Lao-tse and Confucius are not found to suffer greatly when com- pared with those of Socrates and Plato. So. the Greeks were not the only ones descended from the gods, as they claimed, nor were the nations about them entirely barbar- ous. For about a century after the discovery of America, Spain was the most powerful nation in the world. But she inver got over the pride engendered then. Four cen- turies later, with the assurance projected from her mediev- al successes, she thought the Americans were pigs, their warships rotten tubs, and that the Spanish army was going to land in Florida or New Orleans, march over- land i Washington and take our capital in a week or so. The outcome of the matter was otherwise. The Spanish were brave but they hadn ' t estimated themselves and the other fellows correctly. At the beginning of our Civil War, Confederates were in the habit of saying, One Southern gentleman is the equal of any five Northern Mudsills, by Gawd, suh. The Federals enlisted 75,000 men and were going to make ;i breakfast Bpell of the war, but had to stay for din. ner, and supper also. Four years proved thai each party had overestimated itself and underesti ted the enemy. So examples might lie multiplied no only in the af- fairs of nations hut also in business, in politics, and, worst of all. ill Society. There, is more hope for polities than there is for soeiety. however, for the same reasons that there was more hope for the publicans and sinners in Christ ' s time than then ' was for the Scribes and Pharisees. Civilization is a growth — a progress toward an ideal. Though some individuals have approached the highest ideals closely, no nation ever has. The highest civilization for the ancient Persians would perhaps have been attai I if they could have ' approximated closely the pure and noble character of Zoroaster, for the Greeks, that of Socrates, Plato, or Pericles, for the Chinese that of Lao-tse and Confucius, for the world of to-day. that of Christ. And this is the modern problem, the Christian ' s work. the white man ' s burden — to brine all the people as Dearly as may be to the high standard of the must exalted thinkers and doers of the nation, and of th.- world. This can only be done by the love found ill a common Brother- hood, in a common fellowship where all are free and wel- come. It can never be done in the fi f the envy, jeal- ousy and hatred engendered by tin- holier than thou. the aristocratic, Oligarchic, plutocratic, or any other es- sentially selfish attitude. Two forces are opposed to the accomplishment of this work of uplift. First, the ignorance and inertia — dead weight — of the masses. Second, the selfishness of the chisses. ' I ' he first must 1«- overcome by a quickening education, voluntary and compulsory. This has already been commenced. The second must be overcome by an energizing education, voluntary ami compulsory. This also has been begun. The spirit of the times in this country is bidding the poor and ignorant, the masses, to awaken, to think, to work, to vote, to agitate, to demand — to demand that their substance be not wasted in fast and riotous living by their superiors, to demand that s .1 v standari of living b ( ' adopted by all classes  . re ■ ne « , igc rani person need die in body, so! . into ti I another man may have the w ' . ■ with I corrupt hi 1 body, and intellect through a:, overindulgence in power and plundered wealth: lor civilization has produced enough that ad ni v ■ n. ;. work, leisure and the best culture.

[ his spirit ol ' he times is the spirit the aw renaissance, the Twei ieth Century Renaissanci whic) is even now at hand, with a spaciousness even greater than thai of the times of the Greal Elizabeth. The-. ' ideas are not at all new in theory, nor altogether , practice for the best and wisest men of all ages have regulated their lives by them. The bighesl good is n I in the physical, nor in the possession of the material alone, yet the spiritual, as we know it. is based on these things, the lack of which may mean misery, ignorance, and crime. Arid that these things are so is the indictment against predatory wealth, oligarchies, absolutisms, and the Four Hundred. Old institutions and old ideas, as such, are no longer sacred. i ld axioms are tried again, on their own account, and, proved or disproved, are fixed faster or utterly dis, carded. Because a thing has Keen is no final reason that it shall continue to be. Old notions of the sacredness of priv.te pn perty are beginning to be questioned. The old idei i ' e ' t souls and human bodies are of less worth than properly is being abandoned. We are going back of the pre ' i i p ssession of property and are asking, where did hi gel it ' tlnv. did he gel it? ' ' as he a right to it.

To do this the teachers must have an abiding faith in the supreme worth of every human soul, as had their great exemplars, that they must be intensely democratic, unas- suming, iiiipitient of artificial distinctions and hypocrisy. The democratic times of the greal Peeric.les were the best that the Athenians ever knew. They were possible because the Athenians were educated. They were educated in those times, partly because of the limited number of the peeple and the small size of the city, hut mainly be- cause of the free discussions of the forum and the s.ti is.

When our own peeple were oppressed liy the British, they were able to threw off the yoke and establish a free vernment because they were educated. For them the 1 iwn metings and their early established schools had taken the pit of the Greek forum. The best though! of the wis- men of all time was given form bj the establishment of a government, based on the democratic idea. It was established in America rather than in Europe not only because the people heri ' had been educated for it. but also because the opposing fores to such ideas had nol been very fully developed here. The permanence of our government and its progress towards its ultimate ideal depends upon universal five ■■du- cat ion of such a character as to nourish and fooler the highest conceptions of our government and the rights and privileges of its citizens, as well as to expose the fallacies of the aristocratic idea. Although evolutions as well as revolutions come from Che bottom, they are caused by ideas that percolate from tlii ' top. s . then, tlir importance to our country of keep- ing uncontaminated, free, rational, ami democratic all places and sources of education.

In the days of ancient Grei , the inhabitants of th at proud and justly proud nation, were want to refer to all who were not of their own blood as Barbarians. The name was a broad term, applied to all Foreigners and carried with it a taint of contempt and derision. It was nothing more than natural, that their uame-sakes ' ■tin- Greeks,?

So we wear the name Barbarian, ami we have all come to love it ami cherish it. not from its origin, lint for the things for which it stands, the principles which it represents. Th.- history of the Barb movement in Ohio Univer- sity dates fr tin ' dose of nineteen hundred and four or the beginning of nineteen hundred ami five. To be sure the principles then advocated hail existed in the minds of others who hail gone before, but tin- First Annual Barbarian Banquet of February, nineteen hundred anil five, marks the beginning of their growth. In accordance with the knowledge that man has a social side to his na- ture, the development of which will make him a more use- ful citizen, ami desiring that we understand each other better, this banquet was arranged for by those who had tin- general welfare of the student body at heart, ami who had been delegated for this purpose by a student caucus. From this small beginning the banquet has become a permanent affair, and is held annually on the birthday of the Father el ' our Country, who strove as earnestly for liberty, justice ami del racy. It is now the largest social function held during the college year, about two hundred and fifty students and faculty members enjoying it an- nually. It holds a warm place in the hearts nf all who have ever attended it. and at that season, those who have graduated, or for other reasons are no longer in college halls, are seen coming back to their alma mater in order that they may renew old acquaintances, and once again sit at the festal hoard and enjoy the spirit of fri Midship and democracy, which seems to inspire evety word.

All this is done without any close organization; do constitution and by-laws; no rules and regulations; just a rcimiiiittiv selected from all, by all. The non-fraternity students meel in a body, and select a committee to do the things they wish to have done. It is just ;i mere matter of necessity that a committee be elected, but a close or- ganization is what wo are opposed to. All are welcome to our meetings who are not against us by affiliation. In February, nineteen hundred and six, realizing the need of a college publication, and desiring sonic medium through which to express their sentiments concerning vari- ous phases of college lifo, the non-fraternity students met in a body, and chose a staff to make arrangements for such a publication. The first issue appeared in that same month, and was read with much interest by every student in col- lege.

The scope of the paper has broadened; more general college news appears: athletics, literary societies, classes and Christian Associations arc reported; roasts and per- sonals add to its interest: literary productions of both faculty and students lend dignity. So runs our history. These in short are the activities in which we are engaged. Underlying and prompting all our efforts, is the love of equality and democracy, and a sincere interest in the welfare of our institution and its student body. U r Shaw graduated ! ui ( .

The street was narrow, the walls high on either side. Between them the sun shone dow in a slim line, fierce in its intensity, n.s if concentrating all its force within the small limits set fur it. After a moment ' s rest the lad pushed onward, still keeping out of reach of the sun ' s heal. What little breeze circulated was oppressive. Ill- smelling odors crowded their way into the street from the open doorways, or seemed to ooze through the walls them- selves. The air was heavy and stagnant; the street, silent and still. 1 1 was mid-day in a Syrian city. The child was a Syrian lad.

A crowd follows! . —a crowd with stones, a crowd, ! it ' ul. yet vengeful ,t he had been in their midst; and. as he paused at the well, a pebble struck him and he want on, on across the threshold of the leprous city — to be no more a vital lite, a part in human affairs. I,, be forever dead in a suffering, remorseful, lingering death— death which nothing could stay, but whose constant creeping, slow and slower, was more cruel than the quick, sure slab of a knife or the rapid fire of a pistol. Xo one saw him drop a coin as he gathered his gar- ment closer, and quickened his steps, n,- knew not, him- self, that he had lost it. For other coins were in his hand, thrown by a few pitying ones to make his living death perchance more bearable. Rashid rested his head upon his hands. He wriggled his bare toes in the sand, and thought of what he should In when he became a man. lie should have servants to carry water for him: his wife, the perfection of feminine beauty, .should have all things necessary to adorn that beau- ty: his children should play all day as he could not; he should have a mansion and .: ca I with gold trappiie_ r s lo cross the deser t ; and he should feast every day. Ki-lnd ' s eyes wandered from his toes 1,, a shining s ar.ething which lay and glistened in the sun. It was money, ami he stooped and picked it up. It lay upon his palm — a thing of charm for him. Hi- tossed il up and caught it first in one hand, then in the other. At last, he filled his jug, and began his journey back again leav- ing the little square deserted excepl for the great, tireless yellow disk far up in the heaven. Ten years later Rashid stepped upon the docks of New York City. He had e to the great western coun- try i —.•■•! lit — fortune- the fortune which was to fur- nish him with all earthly felicity — home, home-ties, the camel with L r ld trappings. He was young and u ' i 1 look- ing, moderately intelligent. Down in Bohemia, he soon fell in with man} of Ins nun countrymen. He learned to speak brokenly the strange, western tongue. And he learned to sell fruit and Sowers. An Italian girl sold Sowers, too, and sometimes sin- sang at her work. Her voice was sweet to Rashid, and her face had in it some- thing appealing to him. Sometimes he directed n customei to her. Once she smiled at him. Ono when it rained, he helped her carry her ' . ' ( Ms to shelter. He learned that her name was Teresa and that she was quite alone. So for want of other friends, a friendship sprang up be- tween the two. Drawn together by a common bond, lack of sympathy from the outside world, the hunger for hu- man companionship, for some one to eare for, lead gradu- ally up to their marriage and the formation of a home. Not of such a one as in Rashid ' s youthful dream hut two small rooms in a New Yuri; tenement. To the two, however, it meant shelter and that in- definable something which went to make it a pla f hap- piness and peace. The artistic nature of the Italian girl spent itself in touches of brightness here and there, a pret- ty picture or, perchance, a dish. The rooms spoke of a woman, crude and uneducated though sin- might be. The bright colors hinted at wild, untamed gladness, and they also spoke of cheer and happy hearts. Rashid still sold his flowers and fruit and often on busy .lays Teresa st I with him. By and by, a little Benita. tiny, toddling, took her mother ' s place beside the cart, charmed by the fragrance of the roses and the scent of tropica] fruit. Sometimes she strayed away from her father ' s Bide but nut often. At most times Rashid guarded the child well. When she grew large enough to prattle and then, to know, he taught her the value of coins that she might help him in his work: and one evening, as they counted their mi M.-y. and she played with his fingers in her childish way. she pointed wonderingly at a white spot upon his palm. It was a tiny speck, so small that he had not noticed it. But he saw it now. He drew his hand away from her and gazed long an 1 hard at the mark. He threw off the thought which had disturbed him. He was no longer of the East. He was of America. Western plagues might seize; the diseases of the East he had left behind on Mental soil. He romped with Benita. He kissed Teresa. He talked wildly in the vain hope of throwing off that dread which clutched at his heart. After that he watched the spot daily. It grew larger almost imperceptibly. By and by other spots appeared upon his land, and later the other one whitened. Then iue day he did not return to Teresa and her child in ' little home.

Once he dared to steal. He was hungry. The world owed ii to him. Next time it was money. Next time it was a larger sum. In his aimless wanderings he sometimes boarded a train and mingled with people, earing not that ho was branding all who touched him or neared him with death. Then his face began to assume the tell-tale ghastly hue, ami one day at a depot ho was detected. Panic seized the crowd of people waiting there. Some came about him to see. not realizing the awful danger of contact. Xews pread through the city that a leper was there. Fool- ish crowds stood about, as he half reclined upon a bench, Ih ' litre toward which all eyes wore turned, lie wanted to rush at them. The fierceness of his nature leaped up within him.

The mother nestled the child to her. and as she saw him she gave a vry. The leper! And instantly the ear was a mass of panic- si ricken humanity. Some cried out to kill him, but his death would not have taken away the evil he had already wrought. As the train slowed up he made his way without llil lestatil 11 to the door of tl III ' . Tile people fell hack fearful lest he might put out his hand to touch them. They swore vengeance upon tin iductor who had admitted him: suits were filed against the railroad which had carried him: traffic Stopped short: no one entered the cars. And the unfortunate albeit sinful man lived on in a hut built I ' m ' him. They brought him food and drink. Sometimes he wandered ahout with the old. wild, longing ■!e -in- to be among human beings. At such time s people disappeared as if by magic. He was as a thing loathed. Twice as he walked up the street of the town, he heard a shut ring out. lint, by some chance or mischance, it did not hit him and he went on existing in the ever and ever more loathsome state, always more dread to behold, al- ways more hated to himself and to Others. And. then, one day, the food placed for him was not eaten: all was silent in the little shanty. Etashid, the leper was dead.

ON THE DEATH OF DUNBAR In yonder spot upon his laureate bier He sleeps, our singer — younger and pure — a seer In wisdom of the heart. Lo! he is gone And hushed that tender lyre he swept upon! Under the morning sun he sighed and smiled And on the altars of Apollo piled The gifts of song, and saw what visions be In Joy ' s high mount and Sorrow ' s depthless sea. Spontaneous joy was his. and long and deep He drank the royal springs of Life ere sleep Came down in peace to seal his weary eyes. Glad was the earth and laughter filled his skies. To-day he cherished most, and yet his glance Saw undismayed the future ' s grim expanse For Hope, a morning star, allured him on Till thru the last deep shadows he had gone The common man Li spired his minstrelsy.
