After spending three and one-half years in Kentucky State University, he entered Asbury CoUege, from which institution he received the degree of Bachelor of Arts, 1907. Dr. Moore then spent several years in evan- gelistic work in the middle West and South. In the year 1910 he was called to the Presidency of Central Nazarene College, Hamlin, Texas, and continued as the Executive ot that Institution until 1917, when he became President of Eastern Nazarene College, North Situate, Rhode Island. Having taken previous post graduate work in the University of Chicago and Brown University, Providence, Rhode Island, Mr. Moore received the degree of Master of Arts from Boston University in 1919. In February, 1919, he was called to his present position as President of Olivet University. President Moore comes to us, eminently fitted and equipped for the great work to which he has been called. His pleasing personality, broad vision, and tireless energy assures him the highest success in his new field of labor. We pledge to our President our confidence and fidelity, in the common interest of a greater Olivet.

AFTER having the deHghtful privilege of visiting Olivet University, v e can say without hesitation that it has one ot the brightest outlooks of any of the scho ols of The Pente- costal Church of The Nazal sne. It is located in the heart of one of the most fertile sections of the woild. The campus is one of the most beautiful, lolling plats of ground we have ever seen. The build- ings are stately and commodious, being a fotindation for an institution cf large proportions. Olivet University is supported by the Central Edu- cational District, which includes the following states: Illinois, Indiana, Ohio, Kentucky, Missouri, Kansas, Nebraska, Iowa, Minnesota, Michigan and part of the States of Virginia and West Virginia. In these states we have about ten thousand members, which is about one-fourth of the membership ot the entire church. So with this large and ever-increasing constituency and with a location in one of the most prosperous, fertile and progressive sections of the United States, there is no reason why it cannot succeed and continue to be one of our strongest institutions. The Board of Directors is composed of men who have vision, big hearts, common sense and business ability. They have accomplished wonderful things in raising SlOO,000.00 to liquidate the indebtedness against the school. And now that they have set themselves to the task of making the school a college indeed and in truth, we see nothing but victory ahead. With the present faculty of strong wide-awake, self-sacrificing, heroic, teachers, which is to be augmented by a number of teachers with masters ' degrees, we can ofTer students the best possible educational and religious advantages. To see the luminous countenances and intense religious fervor of the student body inspires, animates, enthuses and exhilarates one ' s very being. Their appearance shows that they have intellectual possibilities second to none. The heart throb of their religious nature makes cne feel that the ends cf the earth will receive religious illumination f rom their heroic efforts. To catch their enthusiastic interest in the institution ' s progress and welfare indicates that we are at the very threshold of unbounded success. While Olivet University has already accomplished great things, yet we truly believe we see a veil of light on the face of the eastern sky indicating the dawning of a more glorious day. We believe the sun of her pcssibilities is just beginning to rise and give us foregleams of a glorious and prosperous future. May it continue to rise and become more radiant, dropping beams of holy love and religious comfort to multitudes of earth ' s be- nighted souls! Let us as teachers, students, patrons and constituency stand in a solid phalanx against the mighty foe of holiness and make Olivet University a mighty force in carrying the gospel of full salvation to every land, and thus hasten the coming of the Blessed Christ. 21 -I. 3 •m f N I IS E T E E N -t; -6 22 M N I N E T E E N m. V Rev. U. E. Harding District Superintendent — Indiana District The services rendered by Rev. Harding in the February revival proved him to be a man of God whose chief purpose in life is the salvation of souls. His earnestness, clearness of thought, and forceful delivery of the truth made his messages powerful. He has been a trustee of the University for many years and, in that capacity, has served faithfully and well. We, as students, are glad to count Mr. Harding as a friend who is a friend indeed. We assure him of our prayers for the success of his future labors. Rev. Ch.arles A. Brown District Superintendent — Chicago Central District To know this man is to accord him a place of high esteem. He is one of a few men who will bear long acquaint- ance. Being a graduate of the School of Theology of Olivet University, he is m.ore than a friend; he is one of us. His frequent addresses in our chapel services have been ever welcome sources of inspiration and blessing. Bro. Brown, we appreciate your kind interest in all our student activities, and your hearty support of all movements toward a greater Olivet. May the presence of the Lord go with thee, whithersoever thou goest. :;yi, E E M W 23 %;. m N I N E T E E- N m m VyJi tu ewte Ol0-®pieratt6B ffirgaittzation Hugh C. Benner, President Raymond J.

STEPHEN WHITE, A.B., B.D,, A.M., PASTOR. CUI. TURE is a term that possesses a variety of meanings. It is a synonym of cultiva- ticn or tillage. In bacteriology and medicine it signifies the cultivation of bacteria or other micro-organisms in prepared nutrient media; also the product of such cultivation. It is more commonly used to indicate an act of improving or developing by education, discipline, and training; also, the state resulting from such procedure. It may convey the thought of a particular stage of advancement in civilization or the characteristic attainments of a nation. Christian culture as set forth in the present article will be an ideal type of charac- ter which all persons should strive to lay hold on individually and en masse. Goodness is the first subjective factor of Christian culture. Neither a soft sentimentalism nor a certain form of action is intended by the employment of this term, but rather a positive quality of being. According to orthodox Christianity, Chris- tianity which is faithful to revelation and to life, human indi- viduals aie born only potentially good. They reach terra firma with a capacity for this disposition, but have no actual enjoy- ment of it. Righteousness of heart, therefore, is acquired, and not natural. It can only be obtained by the impact of Deity upon humanity. This impingement can be mediated by Jesus Christ, the God-man, and Him alone; through progressive and instantaneous experiences wrought in the human heart by the Holy Spirit. The person thus operated upon will be Hfted out of his chaotic moral condition into supreme devoticn to God. Peace, harmony, and intentional perfec- tion or purity of motive will then prevail throughout the entire domain of his soul. The second subjective factor of Christian culture is knowledge. Knowledge is acquaint- ance with facts. No mind, however encyclopaedic, can hope to successfully encompass all spheres of learning — instutitional, discursive, experimental and experiential. The require- ment, then, in this instance must be relative and not absolute. A person cannot legitimate- ly be asked to obtain all knowledge. He should, nevertheless, have mastered to some extent at least one field of human research. In addition, he should recognize the practical value of learning in relation to life as it is in this material world. Henri Bergson, the famous French philosopher, claims that the intellect has been evolved in order that the mind may deal with matter. This notion of the purpose of the intellect is withotrt doubt correct, even though many of the ideas in Bergson ' s complex and difficult system of thought are mere novel fancies. Science, the worthy servant of mankind, which has performed so many miracles during the last two centuries, is based on the power of reason. It is this faculty that enables man to cope with his environment with ever-increasing skill. Wrest it from him and his commanding ])osition here below would soon be dwarfed into insignifi- cance. Again, the truly intellectual ])erson should perceive the intrinsic worth of know- Icflgc f;v:T and above its utilitarian merit. Knowledge as a perennial source of pleasurable .-nif] ' ■leva.ting en ml ions is an cin-ic!)! r of llic life of |]u soul. Th M-e is real joy in the solution ol a, geomct rical pi-o! iKm or I lie pn-ccplit ii of a relation wlii. ' li IchaIs 1( tlu ' lorniulation of a law of science oi I lie invsiilion of a, labor-saving dcvic. 26 N I N E T E E N The third subjective factor of Chiistian culture is beauty. A cultured Christian must have an appreciation for the aesthetic, and a healthy craving for its enlargement and intensification. He must be susceptible to the supernal splendors of nature. He should be capable of feeling the spell and charm of the rapturous music of the song-bird, the gentle ripple of the brooklet, the superbly tinted garb and delicate fragrance of the flower, the awe-inspiring majesty of the forest primeval, the soft lonesome whispers of the breezes, the stately and hoary grandeur of the Rockies, the golden glow of the sunset, the solemn silvery glory of the guardian of the night, and the universal language of the scintillating stars. Springtime and autumn are filled with ten thousand enrapturing wonders for him. The realm of artificial beauties will also fascinate h im who has a taste for the aesthetic. The -5 fine arts hold this rank. Among these sculpture, architecture, painting, poetry, and music may A I N E ; ' i -i. % -e be mentioned. They have a strangely bewitching influence over the lover of beauty because - .e the windows of his soul are open on the romantic side of his nature as well as on the prosaic. ? ? Goodaess is foremost and fundamental in any true cultural scheme. On it hinges the |y sublimest and most excellent values of the present and future existence of man. A person who is good is more valuable to society than one who is learned or aesthetic. Righteousness within the citadel of personality is the necessary prerequisite for membership in the ccnimon- wealth of glorified immortals. Moral and spiritual verities mast furnish the foundation for any enduring social order here or hereafter. Sc crates, like many later philosophers of the rationalistic t pe, identified knowledge ' ]f with goodness. He held that if a person were informed as to wrong he woald not indulge in ,- it. Ignorance and sin were one in his thought. It was his mission to be a spiritual midwife, that is, to aid in giving birth to ideas in order that virtae might supersede vice. This view, ,j|Tj which has played so prominent a part in the history of philosophy, is now beginning to percolate down through the minds of the masses. As a conception of the potency of know- ledge it is false. An intellectual awareness of that which is evil and its deleterious conse- ' ■fi: quences, is not a sufficient deterrent. Only in a righteous heait can be fotnid a dynamic ' ' ■ powerful enough to restrain from wrong. New while knowledge and goodness cannot be M-.; thus confused, they are not antagonistic. They are compatible. They associate with more ease than knowledge and evil. It is a shorter distance from the former to goodness than from it to evil. Moreover, acquaintance with facts generally assists Christian living. ;,;= Enlightenment has always afforded a sympathetic atmosphere wherein Christianity may grow and expand. The true teaching with reference to knowledge, then, is that it is an honorable handmaid or servant to goodness. HI The aesthetic ideal, as it took shape and color in literature in the writing of Schiller, as it has appeared (not without other Hebrew elements) in the revived Hellenism of Mat- thew Arnold, or as it permeates the life of many of the more intellectual of the present day practically tmites goodness and beauty. Good morals are good taste. The good life is the beautiful life, and conversely a beautiful lite will become a good life. Such a unifica- tion of the gcool and the beautiful is as uncalled for and as untrue to the facts of revelation ms mi and human experience as the identification of goodness with knowledge. Beauty is sinless God is its author, and it is a pregnant source of inspiration anol ennoblement, but its magical |f sovereignty is too impotent to transform the bad individual. It must also take its role as ' ■ ' just an estimable handmaid or servant to goodness. While goodness is the paramount characteristic of Christian culture, knowledge and : beauty are needful secondary attributes. These three subjective tactors constitute a - perfect trio, each of which is essential to the highest realization of the other; but the greatest among them is goodness. 27 N I N- E T E E N Umin LeKoyHeti peter rTacdo ]aJc WaJJie Simon Van Meter E d± m m t Jin iMFmnrtam i Kenneth .Spang Raymond Knighton Paul Haggerty Paul Johnson Walter Patterson Harry Anderson Orville Coate Glen Reddick Hurst Warner Harold Palmer David McVeigh S.

During this time he has entered every activity with a tireless zeal. His every action spells energy, which is indeed the secret of his success, not only in the classroom, but also in athletics, in the debating and literary societies, and in his capacity as Business Manager of the A urora for three successive years. As Business Manager he has made the publication possible, and has also won for us many friends and patrons in the business world. He was especially influential in raising the status of the school, being a member of the class which so fully equipped our Science Laboratory. The next year he was also instrumental in the purchase of the telescope. His boundless enthusiasm and determined spirit assure him success in his chosen work, — the ministry of the Gospel.

From the Buckeye state, this young man came, when yet a mere lad. He has been here nine years, beginning his work in the Grammar School; and he is indeed a product of Olivet University, — a fact in which we justly take pride. He is a student- — an all round college man, but his special talent is music. Intelligent interpretation characterizes him, and his artist soul finds expression, no matter what instrument he touches. His piano work is smooth and rythmic; his conductorship of both Band and Orchestra has been attended with rare success. He works whole- heartedly and puts his soul into his every undertaking. He has been very active for a better Olivet University and, as he steps forth into life to carry the glad news to the world, we are sure that he will succeed, and ever be a source of joy to his Alma Mater. i N E 1 E N OF 1919, WE WISH 35 Si: ' A M Melza H.

Immediately he entered upon his college career, and began to prove his worth and his right to a place in the Student body of Olivet University. With scholarly effort, he mastered his subjects of study, and during the last two years h ,s been one of our student teachers. He also possesses oratorical ability, and has been one of the few to speak from the ' ' Trib- une [in our morning Chapel Service. He shows this same earnest spirit in his society work, and also in his athletics. Mr. Brown is of that class of men who have the highest aim in life- — to lead lost souls to the Lamb of God. Throughout his course in the University, he has shown the traits of character requisite to success, and we feel confident that he will belong to that army of men who know not Defeat.

During the school year of 1917-18, Miss Ellison attended the Chicago Evangelistic Institute, where she received a S. S. Teachers ' Certificate. Member of the General Council; President of Women ' s Council; Class Secretary; I. P. A.; Philathean ambassador; member of the Auto Gospel Band. Miss Ellison is the only girl member of the illus- trious College Senior Class of ' 19. This quiet, retiring young woman comes to us from the Bugeater state, where she graduated from the State Wesleyan Univer- sity in ' 13. She is a real college girl and has the college spirit, a quality not to be scoffed at. Although she never says much and is, to all intents and purposes, a very studious girl, there lies hidden beneath the schol- arly cloak a rich sense of humor that not only surprised but pleased us all when it came to the surface for the first time in a meeting of the Literary Society. The foreign field is Miss Ellison ' s final objective, and she is majoring in Theology this year as a final preparation for the work in India, to which the Lord has called her. In the Missionary Band Miss Ellison is an active worker, and we expect that before long, Olivet will have another representative on foreign soil.

Coate is a tennis enthusiast and is the President of the Octo-Spartan Tennis Club. After completing the Theological Course in ' 13, Coate packed up his belongings and went Westward, stopping in Idaho, where he taught one year in a public school and was for two years at the head of what is now the Northwest Nazarene College. In the fall of ' 16 he returned to Olivet and received his Ph.B. that year. This done, the wandering Hoosier, again went West, and soon we heard that he had majored in rhetoric and obtained an F. R. This year, Mr. and Mrs. Coate have both been with us, she at the head of the English Department and he at the head of the Political Science Department while completing the Divinity course. Lowell is a good scout and is a pusher in every organization with which he is connect- ed. He is preparing for the ministry, and his highest ideal is a consistent Christian life, of which his daily walk among us as a Post-graduate student teacher bears excellent testirrony.

It is with pleasure that we present to you this gentleman from Illinois. We are presenting to you a man of worthy character, liberal views, broad culture, and genial disposition. His life is characterized by a happy optimism which carries him triumphantly over difficulties, admits no defeats, and secures for him friends in abundance. But why this elaborated pres- entation? This is Bricky. Bricky is one of our own, having been a student at Olivet for seven years, during which time he has achieved a good name both as a student and friend. However, he has acquired a strange habit- — gradua- tion. This habit was somewhat broken by the pro- position of the War. In February, 1918, Olin enlisted ,in the United States Army, in which he served faith- fully and well, upholding the honor of his Alma Mater. He was a member of the Medical Department of the American Signal Service Corps, from which he was honorably discharged in March, 1919. Soon after his return the graduation habit seized him again. Thus we are proud to present Olin Whitefield as an honored member of the Senior Class of 1919.

HOMILETICS 2 nnh Chapel Talks at Olivet University prof. john wesley akers HOW all our hearts throb with a holy joy as we anticipate a walk over the same road over which our Lord, footsore and weary must have journeyed in the long, long ago. We are leaving Jerusalem, the Holy City, this morning, for a walk over the King ' s High- way. This famous highway traverses the summit ridges of the mountains of Judah and Benjamin, and will lead us to the north over the plains of Samaria to the loftier summits of Galilee. I have chosen this illustrious load on account of the many sacred and hallowed scenes, locations, and associations, which lie along its course, with which I am sure you arc all more or less familiar j Leaving the city by the Damascus gate, which is situated about midway in the north wall, our attention is arrested by one of the most sacred spots in Holy Land, and one very dear to the IN hearts of Christians of all lands. rp It is this low gray hill, lying just outside the walls of the city and to the right of our course. This is Gordon ' s Calvary A and we believe, with the great majority of Christain writers, that this is the true historic site l of the crucifixion of our Lord. This site is coming to be very generally accepted by all who oppose the traditional site within the walls, marked by the Church of the Holy vSepulchre. aIj You notice on the side of this low hill facing us, a bare precipitous cliff, the base of M which has been quarried away. This quarry is called the Grotto of Jeremiah. In the face of the rock you notice two openings that seem to be the empty sockets of human eyes, giving to the whole rounded hill a strong and striking resemblance to a human skull. Notice the stcne wall that completely girdles the brow of the hill. This wall was built not many years ago by the Turks or Moslems of Jerusalem. The International Sunday School Asso- ciation had made all arrangements, a year or so in advance, to hold a future Assembly at Jerusalem, and more particularly on the site of Gordon ' s Calvary. To prevent this the Turks built this wall. The Assembly was held but no Christian was allowed to set a foot within this forbidden enclosure This is the hill of which we sometimes sing : There ' s a hill lone and gray In a land Jar away, =, - .i In a country beyond the blue sea; ■ ' IX Where beneath that fair sky, ; ■,-; Went a man forth to die . ■! , For the world, and for you and me. ' ' For but a moment and with mingled emotions of sadness, love, and tenderness, we linger near this hallowed ground, dearest on earth to us. There is a note of sadness and of sobbing in the winds, as they seem to bear to us something of the agonies of the cross — -that last precious wail, Eloi, Eloi, Lama Sabachthani. As we resume our journey you soon realize that our course is rising in altitude. The 53 m is ' S ' A m distant hills of Moab, Mt. Nebo and Mt. Pisgah, away to our left and the blue Mediterra- nean on our right are coming into view. This broad and level tableland on which we are now standing is Mt. Scopus. It was here that the Roman General, Titus, halted and encamped his legions before that terrible assault which ended in the overthrow and utter destruction of Jerusalem, in the year A. D. 70. The city and its illustrious environments are all in view. Our eyes have never rested upon a more impressive scene. The long blue hill on our left is the Olive Range, ending in the Mount of Olives and the Hill of Offense. Directly over the city and somewhat to the right is the Hill of Evil Coimcil. That portion of the city on our right is Mt. Zion the highest elevation within the wall. The lower hill on our left is Mt. Moriah. On this mount Abraham is said to have offered his son Isaac. On this mount pie, and there on the same spot dome stands the Mosque of Omar, of the Rock. The deep gorge Olive range is the Valley of the Near the Mosque of Omar aret. This is the Tower of Anto- turbulent scene. The building directly over beautiful doma, is the Church of the traditional site of the cruci- with the white steeple just to the liam, now the deposed Kaiser of when a young man and was government. Previous to his entered within the walls of Jeru- carriage an opening was made by near the Joppa gate, and no expens Solomon built his wonderful tem- surmounted by that beautiful or as it is also known, the Dome between Mt. Moriah and the Kedron. note that lofty and graceful min- nio, noted in history for many a the Damascus gate, crowned by a the Holy Sepulchre. This marks fixion. The beautiful building left is the church of Prince Wil- Germany. He visited the city greatly honored by the Turkish visit no wheeled vehicle had ever salem. In order to admit his ' removing a portion ot the wall was spared to honor the prospective heir of the German throne. A great deal of water has run under the bridges since the days of all that mimic pomp. The royal carriage, the conceited prince, the terrible Kaiser, the mon- strous Hun, and the Unspeakable Turk, have all gone to the scrap-heap and the dumping ground. We have now passed twelve miles on our journey. Yoii will be surprised to know that this wretched little Arab village which we are entering is Beitin or Bethel of sacred memory. Scattered over the entire hill we see the broken columns and scattered fragments of an ancient city. Here in the dawn of history, Abraham first pitched his tents. Here Abraham and Lot separated, Lot choosing the grassy vale of the Jordan, lea nng the reck -crowned hills and the stony valleys to Abraham. But that which embalms Bethel in the memory and enshrines it in the hearts of all devout Christians is Jacob ' s dream and vow. Fleeing from his angry brother and coming here too late to gain an entrance into the town as the shades of evening were falling, sad, weary, and footsore, he took the stones of that place and putting them iov his i)illow lay down to sic: p. He dreamed, and lo! A ladd. ' r was tlircwn from the weary earth to the sapphire V.: T E N s -i 54 N I N E J E E IS 4. walls, on which angels ascended and descended and above which, God from heaven talked with him, and gave to the sleeping lad the ccvenant promises of Abraham and Isaac. Jacob awoke and said, This is the house of God. That is, this is Bethel. He then gathered a heap of stone and pouring oil upon it made a vow that if God would indeed go with him and bring him again to his father ' s house and to his native land, he would build on that sacred spot where he had slept and where God bad talked with him, an altar, and worship the God of his fathers. Thirty long years later Jacob returned, the head of a great household, the owner of vast flecks, owned and honored and blessed of God, to erect that altar which has made Bethel famous and sacfed in history. When Judah and Israel separated, Jeroboam made Bethel his capitol and set up a golden calf near the sacred spot wheie Jacob ' s altar stood. So Bethel, from being the House of God became the House of Idols. From Bethel, walking leisurely, we have reached Silun the ancient Shiloh, within the hour. Here was the resting place of the Tabernacle and the Ark of the Covenant until it was carried away by the Philistines in the days of Eli. Here too was the altar on which flamed for three hundred years the sacred fire that was kindled in the Wilderness. Here the Lord talked with the child Samuel — here the moral beauty of his childhood life unfolded like an opening flower and developed into the sterling character of Israel ' s greatest judge. Our road is leading us through delightful plains, amid fields of waving grain ripening for the harvest. High above us the uplifted form of Mt. Gerizim seems to stand guard over the rich harvest fields and treasures of these plains and valleys, for so many centuries plundered and laid waste by Arabian vandal hordes from the desert. You have been impatient to quench your thirst at Jacob ' s well and at last we are here, but I fear that you are to be disappointed. While there is an abundance of water in the immediate neighbor- hood, Jacob ' s well has been long since dry. Tourists for many centuries have thoughtlessly dropped stones into the well to determine the distance down to the water, until it is now not more than fifty or seventy-five feet, whereas its original depth must have been at least one hundred and fifty feet. It was here that Jesus, a thirsty and weary traveler, sat on these rope-worn curbstones and held that memorable conversation with the Samaritan woman. j w m 55 N I N E T E E N Gerard Williams President Marie Foster Vice-President Esther Shelby Secretary Carl Kruse Treasurer Colors — Orange and Black Motto — Ad Summnm ' Gerard Williams KiRBY MiDDLETON Carl Kruse Marie Foster Elwin Horst Esther Shelby Selden Kelley Harold Gretzinger Lena Bailey Ruby Foster 56 Frances Smith President Edythe Anderson •, Secretary Mable Thornburg Treasurer Colors- — Green and White Flower — Lily of the Valley Park Allen Mary Floyd Ralph Coate Ruth Menneke Frances Smith Edythe Anderson Mabel Thornburg m N I N E T E E N m mi m 57 tuhtm Tt himnn Cdla 00 ■«,T XL ' Ml kid Merle Morrison President Beulah Massie Vice-President Pauline Steele Secretary Ruth Richards Treasurer Colors — Rose and White Flower — Pink Carnation Motto — Not at tlie Top, But Climbing Beulah Massie Pauline Steele Merle Morrison Beatrice Shaffer Ruth Richards Richard Williams Thelma Park Lahicn Huff Ethel Amick N I N E T E E N 58 ' M MJd ' ■: - i ' t c ; ■■ : t kX- ' - ' c e ;- EX ' - ' q j-n ' T: t r-: ; t-v- E ; X N I E T M ■Ws? -it - .t 59 N 1 N E- T E E N m =■• ? 5«« MUSIC is a very importont factor in our educational centers today. One cannot go very far into the study of music without it influencing their character and religious experience. Religion and music are so closely associated that its effect on the emotional conscience makes the heart receptive. It is conducive to mental development, giving us an insight into the higher, nobler, brighter and purer things of life. It also has an effect on the moral character, keeping one ' s conscience tender and the mind pure. The most popular instrument of the day, without any doubt, is the piano. We ask ourselves the question, why? It cannot be on account of its convenience, as we must admit the violinist has the advantage over the pianist in that he can always carry bis own instru- ment with him, being better able to perform on the instrument which is so much a part of hims?lf. We find it the same with all other stringed, reed and wind instruments. But the piano is capable of expressing more than these other in struments. It is capable of expressing all harmonies and can be tised in almost all musical compositions. The piano is second to the orchestra in the possibilities it presents to the composer and the performer. In many instances it takes the place of the orchestra in accompan -ing and nearly all the selections for the body of musicians is in time arranged for the piano. Since the latter part of the eighteenth century composers have recognized it as worthy of some of their best efforts. Years of ap])lication arc necessary to acquire the art of playing, popular though it is, and there are hosts of inferior jxTformers as well as hosts of inferior instruments, but it is through the jjiano that the whole world has become acquainted with the ni ' istcrpieccs.

These are they whose war cries, ringing out on the morning air, shame the feeble efforts of the Apache, as, tomahawk in hand he went to scalp the paleface. In the membership of this department the re is probably represented more of intellect and mental possibility than in any other class in this book. Look at the clear eyes, the high foreheads. None mere premising can be found. Who can foretell the prospects of these, our young friends. Scrutinize the picture carefully. Methinks there may be found Mayors, Judges, Governors, College Presidents, Ministers; indeed there may be represented herein a future President of the United States. Olivet must not fail in the training of these little men and little women. Therein lies the foundation of great accomplishments. These young Americans are veritable diamonds. Their polishing process is beginning and needs great attention. As a basis for this process, nothing is moie fitting than the advice of Solomon : Train up a child in the way he shovild go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it. 67 r: t-v tr-c i , ' t - t ' I N E I L t ' ' -- sit OH Mmk Manx M N E T E E N E 69 a ? N1 MOMENTOUwS issues have been at stake in the history of our beloved America during the past 3 ' £ar. Cur interests have been centered in the battle-fields ot Europe, the programs of peace, and the re construction after the war; but these seem to be of secondary importance when we consider the issues of the Kingdom of God and the promotion of the rule cl the Prince of Peace over the lives of men and nations. It is only as the Gospel of Jesus Christ is preached to all men everywhere that we can hope for permanent world peace. We recommend the patriotism which inspires one to face death for home and native land; but what about the loyalty to God which is not strong enough to enable one to endure a few discomforts in older that he may bear God ' s message ot salvatien to the lost of earth? The crying need today is for men — brave men — men who are filled with the Holy Spirit, men in whose heart there throbs a burning passion for souls, men who know the secret of mighty prevailing prayer. Give us a few men thus equipped to go forth under the banner of King Immanuel and the world will feel a touch of new lite such as all the peace conferences and social reforms could never produce. Jesus said in His great intercessory prayer, As thou has sent me unto the world, even so have I also sent them into the world. In s])eaking these words Jesus did not create a duty, He only revealed one. Our ololigation would lie the same if these words had never been uttered. No soul can love God and remain unmoved to action while there yet remains a single person who has not heard of the Lamb of God who Laketh away the sin of the world. May there be awakened in the hearts of our young people all over the land a new devo- tion born of a vital oneness wilh Christ- a devolion that to the call Go yc will give glad res])ons ' , lere am send nie! K. S., IJil). (Ml , ' 21. 70 T E E N IN the quaint little town of Oxford, about the year 1729, a group of young college men assembled themselves, and organized what was then known as the Holy Club, and later developed the denomination of the Methodists. From this society came such men as William Morgan, George Whitefield, and John and Charles Wesley. This society increased in numbers until at present it is one of the largest religious organizations of its kind. Out of this movement a number, loyal to the eld principles for which it was brought into existence, withdrew from the fold and founded what is now recognized as the Nazareng Church. At Olivet University we have a Young People ' s Society, which is a child of our great movement, and was organized in the year 1917, born of the spirit of God, and destined to do a great and glorious work. In these few years of its existence many young men and women have been encouraged, helped, and strengthened by their association with other godly men within its sacred influence. We predict an even greater future for the Young People ' s Society. Just as the Spirit of Methodism sprang from the Holy Club, may the Spirit of the Nazarene spring forth from our Young People ' s Society, girdling the globe with Salva- tion and Holiness unto the Lord. — R.

Benxer Ralph Gr. y Laurence Howe THE school year 1918-1919 has been prolific in student organizations at Olivet Univer- sity. Perhaps no year in its history has witnessed the formation of more cr better organizations, not the least important ot which is the Adelphos Debating Club, organized by young men of the College Department on the evening of October 19th, 1918. ' This Club dees not aim at numbers, but at quality. Too many members would defeat the purpose for which it was formed: namely, to give opportunity for frequent drill in the art of debating, as well as to cultivate in its members the art of diiTering gracefully from their opponents. Membershi]) in the Adelphos Club is confined within the limits of sixteen and twenty. All now members must be elected by a two-thirds vote of the entire membership. Tliey must Ijc members of the College or Bible College Departments, honorable Christian young men of high moral integrity, excellent habits, and sterling character.

E N WE, the students ot the Academic and Bible Departments of Olivet Univeisity; to develop ability in public speaking and general platform work; to acquire the ability to entertain differences of opinion; and to debate the relative merits of the same with perfect freedom and good will; do hereby ordain and establish this constitution. The foregoing preamble to its constitution expresses the chief purpose of the Wilsonian Debating Club. Composed of Academic and Bible College students, it is one of the fore- most organizations in the University. The ability to expiess an idea or an opinion effectively is one of the foremost assets to success. We see everywhere today, men in the lead in industrial and other enterprises who have comparatively little training along other lines, but who have the al)ility to speak their ideas and opinions with convincing force. On the other hand, we have men with strong intellects, qualified otherwise to be leaders, who are kept in the background because they are not able to express their ideas and opinions effectively. The same is true in the Church. Though there are many preachers in our movement, carrying on God ' s work with a degree of success, who slight the King ' s EngHsh and make use of convenient bypaths and shortcuts in logical sequences, they are being used, it is safe to say, in spite of their deficiencies and not because ot them. Next in importance to the presence of the Holy Spirit is the ability to speak clearly, logically, convincingly. The object of a debating club is to develop logical thinking and the ability to present argument with telling effect. In the weekly debates of the Wilsonian Club we net only acquire valuable platform experience and practice, but get a broad two-sided insight in the questions of the day. The comparing and contrasting of points of view in debate tends to eliminate nairow-mindcdness and promotes a s]3irit of tolerance for the o]5inions of others. The Wilsonians this year have ably demonstrated the value of debate work in educational training.— C. vS. M., Acd., ' 19. 6-N - £ T 73 N I T E E N mi m fe HUGH C. BENNER, PRES.

He will al- ways love and respect that institution which was the scene of his battles and conquests. Thus it was not at all surprising when in the spring of 1917 a few of our graduates and students, loyal to their Alma Mater, met at a banquet, and made temporary plans for an Alumni organization. As we have many students who cannot finish their course, a con- stitution was drawn up to include both Alumni and students. Each Commencement this organization holds its annual meeting, and is successful in keeping the Alumni and former stu- dents in touch with the school they love. — W. F. S, Coll.

Greetings to the Olivet University, Alumni: All Glory and praise unto the Lamb for sinners slain, whose blood new saves, sanctifies and keeps. The past year has been one of unusual blessing. Truly the Lord has led in green pastures and beside still waters. As the old year was passing out and the new one being ushered in, I asked the Lord for a special promise for the year. This one was given, Now unto Him that is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all we can ask or think, according to the power that worketh in UB. So I am expecting this year to be one of great victory. I am rejoicing in the fact that I am on my way to India. Sometimes it seems I can scarcely wait for the time to pass, when I shall reach Vasind and take up my new work. Since having the privilege of seeing a little of the needs of Japan, China, Hawaian and Philippine Islands, I am made to realize as never before the need of laborers in these fields. The harvest is ripe and reapers are few. I pray that the missionary band may ever keep the needs before the students of Olivet University and that many may be called and sent to these darkened lands. T E Vasind, India, Thana District. Viola Willison, ■ Class of ' 14. 75 5 N. 1 E E N - Opportunity is power. Today the clarion challenge of opportunity is sounding from every quarter. Life, like the ancient Lancelot, throws down this gauntlet to the manhood and the womanhood of America. Almost in vain does the world seek for men and women possessing the ability and courage to accept the challenge. The power of opportunity is of no trivial consequence. It is a power which can move the world. However, though it contains incommensurable possibilities for good, it con- tains as well, equal possibihties as a weapon of evil. Hence, it is not enough merely to grasp opportunities. After they have been grasped they must be properly utilized and directed or great is the danger. The principle contained in this brief discussion is the reason for the existence of Phila- thean. Without the benefits to be derived from such an organization, one cannot be thor- oughly prepared to grasp opportunities and to direct them aright. In view of this, is Philathean a success ? Has she played her part well ? For an answer, go to the many states of the Union in which her sons and daughters are laboring; find your answer in the foreign countries, where loyal Lovers of Truth are fulfilling the great commission of the Master. These have grasped opportunities and have directed them well. These are Philatheans. So, to thee, Oh Philathean, — ilioit of noble purpose; tliou, upon whose sons and daughters the sun never sets; to thee we pledge the best and highest in ideals, hopes, and ambitions. Continue thou in the way in which thou hast so graciously prospered. So shah thou be known and honored among those, thy fellows, and great indeed shall be thy reward. LONG LIVE PHILATHEAN! 76 l-i. VTi.i ay N I N E N i.T 1. iH 77 m- I N E T E E N ' y ? y-f, LITERATURE is one of the greater arts. In it is a reflection of the nobler thoughts and higher ideals that govern and elevate human society. Ccmmitted tc its keeping are the heart-felt sympathies, .the soul-stirring emotions, and the subtle and hidden joys of humanity. It is through our noblest piece of literature that God reveals himself to us. It conveys to sin-weary souls the assurance of salvation through the supreme sacrifice of His Son for the remission of sins. What than could be more appropriate in education than the cultivation of so sublime an art? The purpose of the literary society, primarily, is to develop ability in producing, and ca]3acity for enjoying, Hterature. Incidentally it plays an important part in preparing one for common life. Nowhere else ma} individual per- sonality be so efficiently cultivated. The possession of self-confidence and clearness of thought so universally in demand in every walk of life, is acquired in such an organization. The Alathian Literary Society is justly proud of being the oldest student organization in Olivet University. It is the academic soci:!ty, and, as such, accords due deference to her sister society of ccllege students. But in the mutually beneficial results of the friendly, healthful rivalry between the two, the Alathians have reasons to believe that thc ' do not rank second in originality or talent. The ninnl)er and quality of students who have gone out. from the Alathian Literary Society, wlio are siiccceding in various avenues of life, are a living tribute: to her worth. May her aim ever l)e to emlxxly that sterling quality which her name represents. — C. vS. M., Academy, ' 19. 78 emtuers C. S. McClain, President C.

A second-rate player has a poor chance on the floor with such men as Brown, Benner and others who have the pep for the game. We have some very interesting and exciting games, and the winning team must without doubt prove itself the better team, for we ate the kind that fight to the finish; nevertheless we are good losers. Now to tennis. We have some real tennis material and no one can claim the champion- ship without proving himself better than a host of rivals. Tha young ladies have also organized clubs, and many of them are aspiring to be the magic mistress of the little bounc- ing spheres. Some of those who handle the ball with plenty of snap are: Willingham, Carroll, Banner and others who not only enjo ' the game themselves, but make it interesting for the other fellow. Altho we have some good athletes this year, they are not so numcious a-s in the past. N I N E T E E N w if m 5 Many of them have been busy hunting Kaiser Bill, and now that job is over they are return- ing, and next year we expect to have things going in old-time style. Come along and help us. We can show you plenty of pep and a lively time in any of our games. — S. A. M., Col., ' 20. 81 .Ntt i MWMMm cc, T E N m m w m m m m EVERY nation, state, city, and village has its peculiar traditions and points of historical interest with which practically every member of the community, from the oldest grandmother to the youngest child, is perfectly familiar. These traditions gradually become a part of the common heritage and are imposed on every individual who happens to spend a few hours in the neighborhood. Olivet is not different from other communities either in respect to its traditions or its communicativeness. Pioneers of this section of country are always ready to give information regarding General Harrison ' s battle with the Indians, which took place near the stream which flows bv Olivet. In this battle the blood flowed sc freelv that the water took on a vermilion hue, and the stream is called Vermilion to this day. They can also point to the site of the Log Cabin in which was born the Ex- Governor of Indiana, and greatProhi- bition leader, Hon. J. Frank Hanly. But the item which they communicate with the greatest degree of pleasure has to do with the oldest house in Olivet, called the Canaday house from the name of the family who formerly occupied it. Its claim to importance dates from the time when Abraham Lincoln practiced law in Danville, thirteen miles north of Olivet, and at Paris, twenty-tour miles south. Frequently when weary with walking between these two places, he would stop at this friendly old house by the side of the road for rest and refreshment, and on a few occasions he found his night ' s lodging at this place . If anyone ever presumes to ques- tion whether this be the house at which he stayed, it is insisted that because all the other families in the neighborhood were Democrats and the Canadays were Repul licans, there is not the remotest possibility that he could have been entertained at any other home in the community. Until recent years there have been two very fine engravings of Mr. Lincoln on the mantle over the old fire-])lacc, but a serious accident disfigured these until they are no longer recognizable. ' I ' his is the story of the oldest lioii. ' -c in Olivet — the story which, with Ircciucnt ariations, is rej eatcd to (-very visitor in the community, and which is passed (k)wn from one generation U) another as the most important legacy of its ancestors. N I N E T E E N ■1 im 82 N I N E T E E N 3 - J E s 4 im ?. r E A m NOTHER year has passed into histoiy and a new year is before tis with its anticipated joys and trials. With the going out of the old year, we are passing the last mile-stone which has been reached only after many weary hours of work and study. In a few moments you will look over cr overlook what the staff has taken months of effort to place before you; and we hope that in the few moments you give to the examination of this book, the result of much labor on the part of those who were duly elected to do (.he work, you will be just in your criticisms and know that the old saying is tru3, there is none perfect, no, not one ; ' f? then when you are placed in a similar position of responsibihty, you will be able to appreciate the cfTci ts that have been put forth to make this copy of the 1919 Aurora what it should be. We feel that we have made new friends in the business world, and at the same time 1 have renewed the friendship with those who were bequeathed to us three years ago. We •J- have taken as cur motto : Treat all men alike, and wc have faithfully adhered to it. Hark, ye creatures of destiny ! and listen to the words of the preacher and prophet : j students, friends, and patrons, stand nobly by those who have made possible the 1919 Aurora. Let us appreciate our advertisers, and in a small way repay them for their kindness. ■E TP The management of the 1919 Aurora takes this opportunity to thank the Illinois Printing Co. for the courteous way in which they have helped in the betterment of this book. We wish to thank the Indianapolis Engraving Electrotyping Co. fcr their promptness W. and kindly advice in the making of our plates. We also wish to thank the Bowman Photo Shop for the excellent way in which it has handled the photographs for this book. ' ' SUCCESS to the 1920 Business Manager. 1 To him who has nc more good common sense than to accept the Business Manggement of the 1920 Aurora, we wish the best of SUCCESS. Ma he live long and may he never regret his acceptance of so important an office, but may he steer the ship of state safely through the storms and harbor her securelv in the port of SUCCESS.

Satisfaction depends in large measure on whether one ' s taste is gratified. The Fisher McKee idea is to offer many different designs, so that one may have a wide range in selection. We train our salespersons in the art of helping to choose the most suitable article — it is the kind of help one likes to have, given without being asked to buy. Quality protection is assured by purchasing goods of only the most reliable manu- facturers, and by careful inspection when they are received at the store to make certain no crrcjrs have been made.

Some poor innocent had the impudence to throw a chunk of butter against the wall in the Dining Hall.
