THE YEAR OF JUBILEE lly Professor Loren Burton Biildwjn TWELVEMONTH ago the Oregon Agricultural College celebrated with fitting and impressive ceremonies a quarter centennial jubilee. The covering of the first J B twenty-five-year stretch of a century course was deemed an achievement of epochal S — • importance in the history of the institution, and worthy of eventful celebration. When withdrawn from the world’s noise and strife we give over to the illusions of reverie, wc live again in the joyous days and nights of the jubilee—days and nights filled with the exquisite delights of reunion and association. Transported in seasons of spiritual elevation to the scenes of those June days, we stroll along walks winding amid greenswards, beautified by foliage and flowers; wc pass into the shadows of academic halls, which look sagely down and knowingly admonish us that art is long and lore is deep. Reposed on the sloping lawn, under spreading boughs of leafv tree, we listen enraptured to the rising and falling, the swelling and diminishing strains of martial music from the Regiment Band, and thrill with patriotic emotion as companies and battalions glittering with the panoply of war and militant with banners move with measured step in brilliant evolutions of parade. As the scene shifts, we watch a stately procession of automobiles rolling along the avenues and drives. Now with the descent of evening shadows, under the glare of the campus lights, breaks forth a wild pandemonium—sights and sounds, fantastic, grotesque, grim, grewsome, demoniacal, blood-curdling, marrow-freezing. The multitude look on, some with mute amazement, others with hilarious demonstration, others with unimprcssiblc stoicism. “What meaneth this? Why coineth hence those unsightly forms? What region of the universe is the abode of such hideous spectres?” queries the throng. These arc mortals of earth that have Inrcii touched by the magic wand of an enchanter,” is the answer passed along by the wise ones; “nor can they resume human shape and mien until he reverses his rod and mutters his mystic mummeries. The uproar ceases; the spell is broken; we behold the faces of fellow mortals in the flesh; the illusion is explained—we have been witnessing the student pageant announced last evening in the city paper. Passing days and nights witness alumnal reunions, class rallies, the dedication of class trophies. Classmen of 75 claim comradeship with classmen of '10 in the feast, music and mirth of banquet hall. The reminiscences and prophecies of Class Day reveal buoyancy of hope, abounding vigor, trial and struggle, glowing ambition, defeats and triumphs, as the experiences and expectancies of the Senior Classmen. 13 In the closing hours of the year we mingle with the concourse assembled under the great dome arching the military arena, amid a scene made happy by the bloom and fragrance of flowers, and extend congratulations and say our farewells to the classmen soon to quit the halls of learning. Up the long aisle there passes a slow-moving procession of caps and gowns. There arc strains of harmony from voices blending in the anthem. The last chord has sounded, and for a moment the scene a solemn stillness holds. Now in words of momentous interest the spokesman of the occasion begins to awaken in us sublime thoughts and stir within us tender emotions. The classmen hear life’s lessons interpreted and enforced; and in the very last moments, before the parting receive honors and awards, and listen with bowed heads to the benediction of their alma mater. The tread of feet and the sound of voices that enlivened the scenes of that magnificent occasion are dying away, hut the truths taught are vitally present with us. The unique character of the epochal event clearly pronounced and interpreted the distinctive mission, and forcefully proclaimed the achievements of the Oregon Agricultural College. Men distinguished as profound students of public affairs, directors of colossal enterprises, spokesmen of public opinion, critically expounded the distinctive functions of the institution, with deserved eulogy reviewed its eventful career, and with optimism inspired by large vision predicted a continuous expansion of its sphere of influence for the years to come. The inception of the Oregon Agricultural College was but a resultant of Oregon’s strenuous struggle to achieve material development. It modestly took its place in the educational world, avowing as its purpose the rendering to mankind 3 service, by offering a practical training to practical people, to enable them successfully to meet the exigencies of practical life. What mav to some have seemed but an etherial project when phrased in the enabling acts of legislation, when heard in conventional form in the ceremony of inauguration, when committed, by the exploitation of the plan, to mighty achievements, has become, in the process of events, a material fact, a fulfillment of prophecy, a happy fruition. The unintermittent successes of a movement considered by some in the beginning innovative, even impracticable, have been due to the permanence, power and prestige of the agencies behind the movement. The foundation of the institution rests broad and deep in the resources of the commonwealth. The administrative policy ingeniously and happily accommodates itself 14 to the multifarious conditions of a state-wide constituency. The personnel and appliances employed meet the requirements of efficiency. The environment holds many potential influences and varied that symmetrically shape and ennoble character. The distinctive type of education exemplified in the curriculum scheme of the Oregon Agricultural College contemplates a training that brings under discipline the mind, the eye, the ear, the tongue, the hand, the foot—the entire man. The product of such training is the scholar possessing qualifications intellectual, cultural, distinctive for successful competition with the actors and factors of the age in the endeavors that promote material and social progress. The reconstructed organization, one of the salient features of the policy of the present administration, has resulted in modernizing appreciably the spirit and workings of the institution. The centralizing of administrative powers, the fixing of definite rftyionsihilitv, the extension of the field of operations, the emphasis laid upon specialization, all mean an expansion of the college into a greater O. A. C. within the first years of the second quarter century era. The new organization plan disposes the work, in part, under four schools supervised by deans and, in part, under departments independent of the schools, supervised by head professors. Then there are departments auxiliary both to departments grouped under schools and to departments independent of schools. In the School of Agriculture are grouped the departments of Agronomy. Animal Husbandv, Dairy Husbandry, Poultry Husbandry, Horticulture Bacteriology. Entomology, Botany and Plant Pathology. Agricultural Chemistry, and Veterinary Science. The School of Domestic Science and Art maintains courses in cookery, serving, laundering, sanitation, nursing, plain and fancy sewing, basket weaving, entertaining, and other subjects germane to domiculture. The School of Kngineering and Mechanic Arts comprises the departments of Civil Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, and Mining Engineering. The School of Commerce has arranged its courses under the heads of Business Administration, Stenography, Political Economy and Political Science. The departments operating independently of schools are those of Forestry ami Pharmacy. To this class of departments is to be added next year a department of Highway Construction. The departments auxiliary to those of distinctive work are the departments of Physics, Mathematics, English. Public Speaking, Modern Languages, Latin, History, Industrial Pedagogy, Physical Education, Military Science and Tactics. Library Practice. Art and Music. The blending of literary subjects belonging to the high school and academy courses with the elemental phases of certain technical subjects constitutes the curricula of the two-year Secondary 15 Courses, which arc held as prerequisite for admission to the Freshman year of a college course. 'I”he Winter Short Courses are scheduled for a six-week session in the months of January and February—the farmers’ and artisans’ leisure season. The course affords men and women too preoccupied to spend time in an extended course of industrial training an opportunity to receive instruction in interpreting and dealing with the practical problems of the farm, shop and home. The subjects in Agriculture and Domestic Science and Art arc given by means of lectures and laboratory demonstrations. The course in Mechanic Arts is given from the very first an essentially practical character, by actual manipulation in the shop and draughting room. In addition to the regular daily lectures and demonstrations given by members of the several school faculties, lectures are given by men, and also women, from abroad, who have won distinction in the held of industrial achievements. The growing popularity of the Winter Courses is evinced by the fact that in the present year 255 persons enrolled in the several courses, and in addition to the number regularly matriculated 340 registered as attendants in the sessions of Farmers’ Week. The planning and conduct of the Summer School contemplate the preparing of candidates for securing teachers’ certificates, the training of teachers and principals in the art of school method and supervision, the intensive review of subjects in which failure or condition has been incurred, a perusal of subjects requisite for admission to courses of the college, and training in certain elementary subjects of Mechanic Arts, Agriculture ami Domestic Science and Art, now required in the courses of the public and high schools in many states of the Union. A vital point of contact between the College and the great producing community is the Experiment Station. As a collector and recorder of data gathered from the exploration of material resources, as a busy center of scientific research, as a bureau of publicity, the station has been a potent agency of college extension, while the services it has rendered have incalculably-improved the state’s industrial conditions. In many undeveloped localities much practical missionary work has been done by the Farmers’ Institute and the Demonstration Train, two effective auxiliaries of the Experiment Station. Unceasingly, and with marked results, have representatives of the station staff preached the gospel of a scientific husbandry of resources. The annual report of the president of the Board of Regents for 1909-1910 has the following statement: During the past year there were held forty institutes, with an aggregate attendance of 11,250. Two demonstration trains have been run in co-operation with the Southern Pacific and the O-W. R. N. Railroad Companies. . . . It is estimated that the attendance at these trains amounted to 16,000 and over. By means of farmers’ institutes and the demonstration trains the College authorities came in contact with more than 27,000 people. 16 The concurrent operation of all the agencies and appliances centering in the schools, departments and affiliations of the institution generates a momentum mighty in the driving of many wheels in the state's industrial machinery. The genius that conceived and perfected the mechanism of the plan is the pervading, energizing, shaping, directing intelligence sensibly felt in the execution of the plan. The happy subservience of many wills to a great dominant purpose is effected by an administration that combines clear foresight, penetrating insight and tactful oversight. The secret of successful control here lies far beyond the mere assertion of force. Authority is not summed up in a code of rules and regulations with pains and penalties for cowing underlings into submission. The conception of administration is ministration, a rendering of helpful service to those who come under the tutelage of the institution; and withal the engendering of such confidence in the student as shall prompt him to a cheerful compliance with lawful authority and to a zestful performance of the tasks that constitute his allotment. How consequential environment is in the development of student life has had countless iterations; so many, in fact, that the statement would he trite, were it not for the poignancy of the truth involved. The ideal community in which to maintain an institution that gathers to itself a large and varied patronage is that which combines such advantages as material resources, commercial prosperity, salubrious climate, aesthetic enjoyment, wholesome moral atmosphere and refined social standards. These favoring conditions arc present in high degree in the student life of the Oregon Agricultural College. The city, a trade center and the seat of a progressive, prosperous county, is situated at the confluence of rivers and the intersection of railroads, in the heart of a fertile agricultural section. Steamboat transportation on the Willamette River and rail transportation over intersecting lines facilitate shipping, and render access easy to the seat of the college from every locality of Oregon. The circumjacent farming communities abound in opportunities for observing the results of up-to-date methods in scientific farming and for noting data in agricultural experiments. The far-famed climate that has made Western Oregon the destination of myriads of home-seekers and pleasure-seekers is dispensed in all its tonic salubrity. The vast area of ocean air proximate and the sweep of the ocean current exercise an ameliorating influence on the rigors of latitude. Westerlies from the sea subdue the heat of Summer, and southwesterlies from the sea moderate the cold of Winter. Appreciating the efficacy of sound hygienic conditions as a means of conserving the physical welfare of the community, the guardians of public health have in no wise hesitated at the 17 adoption of the rigorous measures necessary to the prevention of disease. Artificial watercourses have perfected the drainage system that natural situation had begun. The city's network of pipe lines distribute throughout the municipal area health-giving streams that have risen from the snows and springs high up on Mount Chintimini. The college is delightfully situated in a region of romantic attractions. The campus area, touched by the magic hand of art, has become transformed into an idyllic landscape. The devotee of beauty pays homage to the triumphs of artistic genius as he strolls along drives bordered by stately firs, passes among a profusion of sweet-scented shrubbery, and lingers among the charms of blooming roses. The widespreading boughs of trvsting tree, the cool comfort of the stone seats in the shelter of the grove, sylvan retreats along enchanted streams, invite to recreation and reverie. From a vantage ground the eye sweeps around the great curve of a placid river and travels on over charming field, farm and valley to the blue barrier of mountain range away to the east. The far-reaching effects of the formative influences of college life upon the character and subsequent career of youth compel the exercise of scrupulous care in the choice of the social and moral influences by which they arc to be surrounded during their college career. Taking counsel of this maxim, college and municipal authorities, seconded by citizens and churchmen, have, through wise and intelligent co-operation, raised a social standard, maintained civic and moral order, and fortified strongly against the encroachments of demoralizing influences. An aggressive, metropolitan spirit prompts the fostering of such business ventures as are of a meritorious character; and through its pervasive, transforming influence the old order has changed, having given place to the new. Streets have been paved; rubbish and garbage have been swept from the alleys; ramshackle buildings have been displaced by structures of modern architecture; areas of restricted house-building have been scured; the refinements of urban life have been introduced. The effectual execution of such a mighty purpose and plan compels the maintenance of an extensive establishment. Such an establishment the munificence of the state has provided. The institution has been given a competent and secure settlement in the sovereign allotment of the public domain. A generous bestowal of land grants and money subsidies by the State and the Frderal Government is the basis in fact of an institution of public instruction which Oregon has bequeathed as the highest of gifts to its citizens-to-be. A new college regime, characterized by a vigorous, aggressive administration, has appreciably broadened the scope of the institution and enhanced the efficiency of its service. Broadened scope and enhanced efficiency of service, resulting in an enlarged student attendance, have naturally enough been accompanied by an increase of fiscal demands. Money has been 18 l m wisely spent in procuring the services of men of repute in Eastern universities as lecturers and as experts in scientific and practical research. In the biennial period just passed building accommodations indispensable to the conduct of the work of the school have been added. An armory, affording an area of 45.000 square feet, has been built for the accommodation of in-door military manoeuvres. By the erection of the main structure of Central Agricultural Hall. 65 recitation rooms, laboratories and lecture rooms, with offices, have been added, giving 38,000 square feet of floor space. By the construction of the new greenhouse, in its five extensions, with office, laboratory and heating plant, 8000 square feet have been added to the conservatory area. The expenditure of $31,188 in the erection of the central heat, light and power plant has solved the problem of economically supplying adrquate heat to the group of three large buildings on the campus. The acquiring of valuable land plats, adjacent to and within the college tract, will enable the institution to extend its athletic arena and to perfect an artistic landscape scheme. Indispensable as arc subsidies, acreage, buildings and appliances in the educative processes by which men and woinii are prepared for the world of practical affairs, not less indispensable, not less vital, to this end arc the spiritual forces that so mightily, if insensibly, affect penson-alitv and stimulate it to the attainment of dominance in the realm of matter and of mind. Reading and study make a full man; practice in verbal expression makes a polished man; but it is conference—actual contact of man with man outside the classroom and the textbook— that makes a man ready and resourceful. Iron sharpeneth iron; so doth the countenance of a man his friend.” The impinging, so to speak, of mind upon mind, the clash of will with will, the contact of personality with personality, at the same time reveals to one the defects of one's character and supplies the requisites for strengthening and refining that character. An invaluable asset is the element contributed to scholarship and character by participation in college community affairs. The men and women who have been most successful in their vocations after completing a college course have been those who were most active and influential in student activities while in college. The representative alumnus—the type of what a few years of scholastic training and participation in college activities will produce—finds, on taking an inventory of his gains at (he end of his college career, that among his assets arc certain types of literary and artistic skill, a fund of useful information, manly virtues, social affinities, practical ideals as to scholarship, self-composure, command of expression, resourcefulness, spirit of deference to the rights of others, appreciation of the value of community interests, orderliness, gallantry, ability to command, broad-minded tolerance, knowledge of organization affairs, tact and skill in dealing with men. Such arc some of the values that have enriched his character and personality as a result of his having devoted energy in promoting the enterprises of the clubs, fraternities, literary ocietics, the military establishment, and the student organization. In possession of such prerequisites, the finished collegian steps across the threshold of academic life into the world’s arena qualified for gaining the mastery in an unceasing struggle wherein only the fittest survive. 19 PRESIDENT KERR .- man of noble word and deed. Planting in youthful minds the seed To yield a future harvest great Tor both the nation and the state. 1I.I.IAM Jasper Kerr is now closing his fourth year as chief executive of the ■ Oregon Agricultural College. His absolute devotion to the one great purpose of developing the institution to its highest possible usefulness to the individual, to every citizen of the State of Oregon, and more broadly, to the nation, has given the college a remarkable impetus in the period of his presidency. It has won for him not only the love and admiration of the students who come into immediate contact with him at the college, but also the respect and hearty co-operation of a large number of the biggest men in Oregon, and a very definite recognition from the great educational and scientific organizations of America. The Association of American Agricultural Colleges and Experiment Stations honored him with the highest office in its gift, the presidency, for 1910-1911, and the year previous he held the vice-presidency of the same association. I.ast year he was also vice-president of the National Education Association and a member of its National Council of Education. He is a member of the advisory board of the United States Agricultural and Industrial Exposition Company, of the organization committee of the International League for Highway Improvement, of the state committee for Oregon in the National Society for the Promotion of Industrial Education, and last year was on the executive committee of the International Dry Farming Congress. He also holds membership, with an active interest, in the American Association for the Advancement of Science, the National Geographic Society, the American Academy of Political and Social Science, the American Mathematical Society, and the Oregon Academy of Sciences. Dr. Kerr came to O. A. C. from the presidency of the Agricultural College of Utah in the Summer of 1907, after the resignation of President Gatch, and his success as an administrator is best demonstrated by a comparison of the institution of today with what it was when the present senior class entered as freshmen. The enrollment of students has grown in this time from 833 the year before his appointment to 1777 at the present time. The main agricultural hall, the agronomy building, Waldo Hall (the girls’ dormitory), the mechanic arts building, the armory (one of the best in the country), the new heating plant, Shepard Hall (a student club and Y. M. C. A. building), new greenhouses, barns and poultry plant structures—all have been added to the campus buildings since he came. The growth of the student body, in consequence of the increased advantages offered in curriculum, equipment and instructional force, however, has so far outstripped the growth in buildings that the legislature this year was impressed with the imperative need of a school of mines building, more dormitories, a foundry, an auditorium, a stock pavilion, a building for the instruction in dairying, and another to house the department of horticulture, which is one of the finest in the United States. And President Kerr is still a young man, with at least a quarter of a century of his best effort yet to give to the college. He was born November 17, 1863, and educated first in the University of Utah, which he left in'85, and then at Cornell, where he had a year's graduate study and three summers of special work. Twenty-one years ago lie wrote his first essay on agricultural education, a subject to which he has since devoted his keenest study. He was first mathematics instructor at Brigham Young College, and then, after serving as professor of mathematics and astronomy at the University of Utah, was recalled to Brigham Young College as president in '94, where he remained six years. The Utah Agricultural College called him as its chief executive, and kept him seven years, until Oregon claimed him from Utah. If O. A. C. continues to grow under his administration the next twenty-five years as it has the past forty-five months, there may be grounds for a serious consideration of Prof. Hetzel’s suggestion in a recent convocation address that the capital, or at least the educational center of the country, be moved from the far east to Corvallis. 20 WILLIAM JASPER KERR President of the College COVERNOR OSWALD WEST BOARD OF REGENTS O F T H E OREGON AGRICULTURAL COLLEGE AND EXP E R IMENT STATION OFFICERS.

GREAT many people in civil life in the United States look upon our army merely as an ornament and regard all things military simply as so much play. They are y the men whose powers of observation have been imperfectly developed or who reason and have arrived at conclusions from insufficient or faulty premises. Doubtless there are those among our officers and enlisted men whose conception of military duty is such that their conduct would justify this idea of pure play and mere exhibition. But a goodly number of those in the ranks wearing the olive drab and the positively overwhelming majority of the officers take themselves and their work seriously; and even a cursory inspection of the efforts put forth bv them, trying to bring at least a semblance of homogeneity into the often heterogeneous masses with whom they must work, would easily dispel this foolish notion that military life, as seen among us, is all one joyous holiday. An exponent par excellence of the true nature and character of American military life, a good example of what the soldier can and should be, we have had, almost daily, set before us for the last four years in the person of our commandant, Major U. G. McAlexander. The embodiment of truth, honor and conscientious endeavor, his work in the military organization of t he college has been one of unparalleled success and has been a potent factor in the life of every young man who had the good fortune of coming under his instruction. Deep sympathy, unfailing courtesy and absolute impartiality have been the traits and guiding principles that have characterized his conduct toward all, regardless of person, station or position in life. The most democratic of men, the last private in the rear ranks of the “awkward squad, having a request to make or perhaps a complaint to lodge, could gain the Major’s ear as readily and easily as could the cadet colonel, and in case of real merit of such request or complaint, a good deal more easily and quickly. If there was dissatisfaction in the regiment at any time attributable to undue severity, neglect or unjust treatment, of which we hear occasionally at our military posts, the cadets must have kept their counsel to themselves, for the outsider never heard the faintest whisper. Resistance to commands or orders was unknown, and the term insubordination apparently did not exist in the vocabulary either of officer or private. All was harmony and good will, the entire organization moving along as smoothly and serenely as a properly constructed machine or a well oiled clock. Long experience in dealing with men and measures has made the Major an adept at handling men. Twenty-one years ago he was in command of troops fighting the Sioux Indians. A year later he was instilling patriotism into the youths of Iowa Wesleyan University and teaching them the art of national defense, establishing an enviable record for painstaking endeavor and thoroughness. At the outbreak of the Spanish-American war, as captain of volunteers, he did yeoman service for his country in Florida and Cuba, distinguishing himself at the battle of Santiago to. the extent that he was recommended for a tnajorship for conspicuous gallantry in battle.” At the close of the war he was attached to the Thirteenth Infantry as captain, serving as adjutant in the regiment from 1901 to 1905. The bayonet, the sword and the cannon are not usually regarded as agencies tending to foster literature, and it has often been said, and is well known, that the disciples of Hannibal “would rather fight than write. Occasionally, however, you find one of these sons of Mars skilled in both these pursuits, and the Major is one of them, for he has written an authentic and highly creditable history of the Thirteenth Infantry, his regiment. In this connection it might be stated that the Major is also an enthusiastic admirer of the bard of Avon and interprets the latter’s works with an understanding, skill and poetic sympathy unusual in a military man. Major McAlexander has seen service in the Philippines on two different occasions, acquitting himself so well and showing such grasp of conditions that he was detailed to the general staff and ordered to Washington. This was in 1906. In 1907 he was designated inspector of military dcpartinents in colleges, visiting in that capacity twenty-two schools and colleges scattered all over the Union. It is well known that he is regarded as one of the best tacticians in the army, for whenever he is available for such duty he is selected as umpire at maneuvers, a place requiring special skill and sound judgment. Few in civil life know how thoroughly he is appreciated and respected by the army for his natural ability and high professional attainments. Major McAlexander has now l� een with us for four years and has established a record here of which any man might well be proud. Dogged determination, coupled with ceaseless application, and these assisted by extraordinary efficiency, form a combination that will spell success anywhere in the world. This combination, unfortunately, is rarely found; but it was here, and these few words tell the story, in military style, of his work at this institution. He has been instrumental in helping to mould the opinion, the life and character of hundreds of young men. who will always look back upon this period of their life spent under his guidance and instruction with pleasure, pride and gratitude. 34 J.

GIBSON. aXDER tlic able leadership of Captain Harry Heard, the Cadet Hand has grown to be the foremost musical organization of the college, as well as the best amateur organization of its kind in the State. It is composed entirely of students who substitute band instruction for the regular military drill required by the college. The members are obliged to practice daily during tile regular hour assigned for drill. A reasonable amount of individual practice is also expected. Any student passing a satisfactory examination concerning his musical ability is eligible to membership. In previous years it has been the custom to organize one band at the beginning of the school year. Vacancies caused by graduation were consequently filled by inexperienced men, the result of which made it imperative to arrange some plan whereby the organization could obtain men with some band experience. With this end in view, a second band was organized in 1910. This plan proved so successful that it was decided to organize two at the beginning of each year. Although no second band has been organized this year, the outlook for the ensuing year is exceptionally bright. Flic loss bv graduation will be a minimum, and with the addition of some promising new material, the Cadet Hand should enjoy one of the most successful years in the history of the organization.

His parents arc of the sturdy English stock, the father having come to this country at the age of 17. Ilis parents settled in the West and remained there, rearing a family of seven children, Herbert being the second son. The first few years of his life were spent in The Dalles. At the age of five his parents moved and took up their aliode on a ranch near Shaniko. Oregon. Here it was that he learned to hunt. fish, ride and labor. Pleasures of this life the city boy can only read of. Here he acquired his strong physical abilities through pitching hay and other numerous muscular exercise . There at the little country school and the public school at The Dalles lie received all preparatory instruction for his education. During those school days nothing happened of note to be recalled in a short description like this. As yet there was none able to foretell any great career for this boy. No great genius hail come forth to declare a future Webster or a Lincoln. In the fall of 1002 he attended The Dalles High School and one year later we found hint attending the Portland Academy. Finding it too expensive for his limited funds in 1904. he took advantage of the opportunities offered at O. A. C. While attending College Mr. Cooke was one of the foremost students of his class and undoubtedly one of the brightest scholars at (). A. C. He graduated with the class of 1908 in mining engineering and the following year took a post-graduate course. Mr. Cooke was an assistant instructor during his college days, which enabled him to work his way through 0. A. C. In 1009-10 he took up post-graduate work at the University of California and thereby completing the foundation for what lie was to make his life's work. His vacations were spent out among the mines, his last vacation being spent in Alaska near Dawson. . . He was a member of the Jeffersonian Literary Society, Lieutenant Colonel of the Cadet Regiment, Valedictorian of the 1008 Class. Father and Manager of the first Junior Annual, ‘•The Orange.” Manager of Athletics, one of the originators of tlu- first mock legislature of 1909 and a faithful member of the Y. M. C. A. Throughout his college career lie was held in high esteem bv all who knew him and since liecoming a member of the faculty had gained numerous friends among the student body and faculty. in iUmnrtam Clarence ©Harner JJeaber, ’04 Ctta i$lac2ten?it Carter, ’04 (HLlallaee ttooob Cbompson, 06 Herbert Cbtoarb Cooke, ’OS Ruben Crnest (Zftlills, ’08 SCENES NEAR THE COLLEGE. AC-OWNl ALUMNI IT is the policy of the states to invest money in endowing higher educational institutions. For the money thus expended the state receives in return young men and women who are well trained and capable of assuming positions of responsibility, trust and honor. The Oregon Agricultural College was founded under the Land Grant College Act, passed by Congress in 1S62, for the purpose of training men and women in agriculture, mechanic arts, etc. To this end O. A. C. has graduated several hundred young men and women trained for the various branches of industrial life. Some of the graduates have gone to other states, and some to foreign countries, but the great majority are located within the state, doing most creditably well for their state and Alma Mater. Every institution of higher learning has an Alumni Association to bind together those who have graduated. Its graduates become hopelessly scattered about the globe. So this opportunity of rendering timely assistance to their Alma Mater does not exist without some such permanent organization. Thus in Oregon we have our central association in addition to those organized by the representatives of the several counties of the state. The latter have become factors in the improvement of good citizenship in their respective communities. The year 1910 has been a banner year for the Alumni of (). A. C., the hundred and thirty graduates having swelled their ranks materially. Many “Old Grads took advantage of the opportunity presented by the quarter centennial celebration to visit the campus, renew old acquaintances and to enjoy the spirit of “old college days brought to mind once more.” We must not forget the first annual Christmas tree and plum pudding dinner given this year by the Kenton County Association at the college. Its marked success will no doubt guarantee its future repetition. OFFICERS. President ___ Vice-President Secretary ... Trcasurer ..

ACT I. Scene I. The train pulled in and dumped us off. As green as we could be; And next with piles of books we went To school at (). A. C., In hope some Prof, might shake the dust And penetrate our Rooky crust. Scene 2 New things we took in by the score, With mouths as well as eyes; In fact, wc swallowed lots of “dope,' And tried to look quite wise; When we in truth bore all the jokes And made rare sport for college folks. Scene 3 A duller year was never spent, At least such seemed the case; And though the Sophs held mighty cards, We held the mighty ace, And took some tricks they might have had. Had not their judgment been so bad. Scene 4 The dreary days and weeks were dull. We thought them very cold; But iie’erthelcss we pegged along Like knights who lived of old, And left our mark on Time’s own sand, Where we as Rooks did take our stand. ACT II. Scene 1 We gaily stepped into our place; It seemed that it was just the space For us to till with joy and fun, While we taught Rooks that 1 is one. 70 Scene 2 With jov and mirth we played our hand, And kept the Rook at our command; In fact, we schooled them with such pains, They couldn't help but gather brains. Scene 3 The days were short, the weeks went fast, We scarcely felt the time slip past; Of course, 'tis true, we studied some, When we were not out on a “bum.” Scene 4 The things we did were grand and great, And history these facts doth state; Though time and tide for none do wait, We made them hop to keep our gait. ACT III. Scene 1 Our Junior year was full of work, As every Junior year; We were the ones who pushed the school, And helped the Rooks so dear; We took our place and played with art The cards that fell unto our part. Scene 2 Although our work came thick and hard, We let no good times pass; We had as much true college fun As any Junior class. We studied some, at times, 'tis true, And bluffed the Profs, to let us through. Scene 3 Our Junior year was big and grand, The college grew quite fast, And finished up by having here The biggest stunt that’s passed For many years within this town; In fact, they simply “did things brown.” Scene 4 And now, before this space is full: The Juniors all were there; They helped to plan and pull and boost, And did their heavy share With all good will and care and grace, That well befits a Junior’s place. ACT IV. Scene 1 When Autumn came around once more, Our stately ship spread sails, Upon our last but greatest trip, Before we’ll strike life’s gale. Scene 2 It fell our lot that we should lead: We should all things command, And time will tell on glowing page How well we played our hand. Scene 3 With deep regret we see the end, We see life’s stony way; And all too soon our fun will stop. And we alone shall stray. Scene 4 But time will never dim the friends, That we have made while here; Nor fade our love for O. A. C., ’Twill always grow more dear. 71 ACT V. Scene 1 As Rooks, we took the college fence And built a mighty fire; We also took the track meet home, And made our fame some higher. Scene 2 As Sophs, we entertained the Rooks And ducked their greenish crowds; We also bought our flag pole then, And now it sweeps the clouds. Scene 3 As Juniors, we the Tens did feed, And also gave our hop; We took one day and flunked outright, In classes and in shop. Scene 4 As Seniors, we did lead them all, In everything and deed; In fact, we’ve set a pace. I’m sure, That’s going some” for speed. OFFICERS OF THE SENIOR CLASS President..........

GILBERT THE JUNIOR’S REMINISCENCE IMES move ever onward. The years which divide this indefinable period records A mechanically the history of all creations, that must first have their origin and then as a fulfillment of the natural laws, finally pass out of existence, making way for succeeding productions. Knowledge, ‘’The wing wherewith we fly, is ever extended, through these eternal periods, by the self-development of man. This growth inevitably follows the satisfaction of our ambitions through the labor of thought and learning. Numerous, indeed, are the institutions throughout the world whose sole object is to facilitate the accomplishment of this craving need. The one in which we are now situated, like others, attributes its life to the desire of each student for the attainment of knowledge. These students, grouped together in classes, work as a unit for the advancement of this desired end. The success of these classes, taken collectively, is measured and limited by the energy, loyalty and enthusiasm with which the individual members arc endowed. A class of students, in fact, may be conceived as a material object created for a given purpose, and upon its completion is shattered as a unit, but the memory of which is eternal. The class of nineteen twelve, like all other creations, of necessity had its beginning. Vividly do we remember our “rooky” days—the two short years that have fled since that happy period serve, not as a mask which veils our memories, but rather as the tie that binds those childish acts with the present days of trials and responsibility. From the time that we first conceived the possibilities that lay before us, as we gazed upon the broad expanse of our campus, and our numerous buildings, until the first milestone had been passed, each day seemed an inexhaustible fountain of rejuvenated life. All was new and strange then, in truth, quite unlike our previous experiences, yet these obstacles did not deter us in our persistent quest for knowledge. How innocent and unassuming we were, and seemingly lacking the capabilities which needs must belong to the leaders of such a class. This assumption, however, has been belied by time. it is, indeed, with great pleasure and pride that the class of nineteen twelve unrolls its record scroll and presents its history as one filled with enviable accomplishments in athletics, itrholarship and class achievements. Among the victorious athletic contests in our freshman year may be mentioned those with r.:r natural rivals, the sophomores, in football and basketball. These feats are, in themselves, 104 sufficient to cause any first year class a justly earned title of superiority. The freshman party was an event that will lang be remembered, as the reception received at the hands of the sophomores furnished more than its usual thrill of expectant initiation. As a result of the practice of this barbarian custom the class of nineteen twelve refused to revenge itself the following year, and pledged its support towards the abolishment of such a custom. This progressive step may be regarded as the first demonstration of our loyalty to our alma mater and a mark of individual unselfishness, which laid the foundation of many succeeding deeds of beneficence. As sophomores, the class lost no time in claiming its inherited title. Class spirit waxed strong. All the pent up energy of our athletes was expended, winning for us a large portion of all contests. A tie for the football honors, the winning of both boys’ and girls’ basketball championships, and the undisputed cross-country honors, are but a few of our athletic achievements. Following a decision to erect a suitable class monument, a handsome bandstand was built by the united efforts of the classes 190S-09-10-12. Without loss of time the debt thus incurred was partially raised by a class tax and by the staging of a play, “The Modernized Merchant cf Venice.” This production was entirely successful, largely due to an elaborate scheme of advertising that would make any business man jealous. When our junior year rolled round the many dreams of our “rooky” days were transformed into realities. The junior is always admired by under classmen for his untiring efforts in managing the business side of the entire college. It must be admitted that the senior, having become wearied by the many duties performed in his junior year, relaxes his efforts and retires into the peaceful lodges of oblivion. Quite contrary to this attitude is the burning energy of the junior, who transforms the college into a bee-hive of industry. If minutes were lengthened into days and the days into years, the junior would still be praying for time in which to accomplish the many duties thrust upon him. To collect and publish the events of the year is in itself an undertaking that requires the concentrated and united efforts of the class membership. Although many times this task seemed hard to bear, there was in it a certain degree of fascination and inspiration produced by the ever present ambition to excel. To excel, not alone for the honor of its publishers nor for the class as a whole, but in a broader sense, for our alma inater. No better advertisement for our college could be produced, therefore these efforts, directed to the improvement of our year book, are among the most commendable in our history. “One for all and all for one” is the motto of every junior. May the ’12 Orange satisfy the expectations of faculty and students. In order to lift another portion of the class debt, a second play was presented to the college folk. As the curtain dropped at the conclusion of “Brown of Harvard,” every junior realized that the play had fulfilled the lofty ambition of the class and had brought home new honors. Besides loyally supporting the publication of the Orange, many of the juniors are laboring in the interests of other college publications. The junior's heavy schedule of studies, together with his support of the numerous college organizations and arduous committee work, render his path stony and hard to traverse. But to offset all these afflications and tribulations, the whispering of the magic words “Flunk Day” soothes his tired feeling and brings to mind happy remembrances. If there were only three hundred and sixty-five such days in the calendar year, this earth would be a paradise and life one continuous round of joyous larks. But we are content; for even though the golden goal of glory seemed at times far away, yet the “Spirit of 1912” would never have faltered until the difficult task of publishing the Orange had been successfully ended. Here our history ends. The many achievements of the class of nineteen twelve inspire the members with pride in its history, be it collegiate, social, athletic, or of the kind that cannot 105 well be classified. Last but not least is a sacred loyalty and undying love of the class for our alma mater. JUNIOR FLUNK DAY CAMPUS Glover Carroli................Chairman F. H. Boulan. J. C. Leedy. M. A. Lafky. S. H.

THE HISTORY OF THE CLASS OF 1913 By a Rook HS I seat myself and take inv pen in hand I am appalled, yea, even confounded by the magnitude 1 of the gigantic task confronting me. To do justice to the extraordinary achievements of that illustrious 2 class would indeed take far beyond the meagre space allotted me, and would dismay one of far greater mental calibre; besides instituting invidious comparisons with the empty 3 careers of their immediate predecessors. Consequently, out of consideration of their already lacerated feelings, I refrain from anything further than a mere enumeration of their wondrous exploits, unprecedented conquests, and well earned victories 4, which demand, nay, necessitate greater emoluments 5 than is in the power of mere humans to bestow. These redoubtahlc sophomores entered our beloved institution in the falls 6 of 1907 7, 1908 and 1909; a versatile conglomeration of potential scholars X, brawny athletes 9, profound debaters 10, impressive actors II, talented musicians 12, etc. 13, and immediately made their presence felt. The literary societies sprang into renewed activity, the social life brightened, and the athletic organizations eclipsed all previous records. 14 The sophomores contributed greatly to the success of the football IS and baseball 16 teams, etc. 17, while the Y. M. C. A. took a new lease on life and the literary societies began to attract attention now and then IX because of the marvelous declamations of the Wcbstcrs 19 of the sophomore class. The next move of this illustrious class was to attempt to instill the proper amount of college spirit into the innocent ami demure Rooks and by gathering together a small 20 body of the faithful 21 not only succeeded in putting to rout 22 the entire freshmen horde, but also saved the reputation of the college by refuting the oft heard pica that school spirit is on the decline at O. A. C. Hut that is only an indication of what was yet to come. Two days later that invincible scoring machine 23 of 1913 took on the poorly organized 24 freshmen in football, just to test the mathematical ability of the newcomers to perform addition 25 with precision and dispatch, but t. Strenuous on the imagination. 2. It is to laugh. 3. Sarcasm. 4. (Sec note t.) 5. Horse laughter and cowbells. 6. Indeed a fall for the school. 7. Hob Schultz makes his debut. 8. Mansfeild. 9.

But no trivial incident of such minor import did ever discourage anyone, much less the class of 1913, with its indomitable spirit 29 and unflinching courage 30; so between halves they marched proudly down upon the field with their tin horn and banner, much to the dismay of the tremulous 31 “Rooks,” who, with quaking hearts and knocking knees 32 did sit cowering in their places, securely protected 33 by their silence. 34 Let it be remembered to the undying glory of 1913,35 the order 36 with which the unwavering rank and file 37 marched 3S back upon the grandstand. Yea, well might the tender heart of sophomore maiden 39 throb with pride at the sight of her mighty warrior 40 marching home again after such bloody 41 conflict. Well might O. A. C. rest secure in her position of leadership with the assurance of the protection of such valiant gladiators.42 And last, but not least, that wondrous 43 accumulation 44 of Thespian talent 45 that caused the very rafters of that vast and commodious amphitheater 46 to vibrate with the thunderous applause 47 that greeted each new display of talent. Hobo, Bobo, Jocko, Soako and Jojo, as end men, created a veritable furor of approval among the critical and appreciative audience; while Bobby and Ellen were vociferously applauded as Bob tenderly caressed fair Ellen's little finger 4S in a touching 49 love scene (?— ::$$%$’'?I)--).50 But why continue this recital of the valorous, overwhelmingly grandiloquent, soul-inspiring prowess 51 of the class of 1913, when each puerile sentence, far from doing justice to their excellence, can only cause despair and regret 52 to their ambitious and deserving successors, who truly appreciate their real worth 53.

EXPERIENCE OF A ROOK job of telling all about ourselves is an awful M big one for a rook,” hut that big man that is awritin’ that book that they call the “Orange” as't me to lo it an I don’t want to make him mad or I wont ever get a chance to do anything big while I am in college. In the lirst place I don't see why they call it the ‘‘Orange”—it isn't good to eat, an' they could have just as well have called it the “Lemon.” Well, we got permission from our daddies and mammas to come here to the college, but it was sure hard work. They didn't think ut we were men enough vet, but we just showed ’em by savin' up ten or fifteen dollars an’ resilin' the dictionary an' the Bible, etc. Then when the time came to go, the folks cried an cried ’cause we were goin' away, but we just looked bored an’ acted very manly. We got on the train all right an' the conductor treated us jus fine, an’ when we came to Albany he told us to be careful an’ not get lost. He surely Wilcox. saved our lives, 'cause at Albany there were three trains, an' lots of people an' an electric car, an’ two men with big gongs tried to get us into their house, but we were too wise an’ wouldn’t be enticed into any den of evil. Then the Corvallis train came along, an' we all got on, an’ there were an awful lot of fellers on it, all going to (). A. C. But next day when we first went to college we were terribly s’prised 'cause there were ten or 'leven big houses for us to learn in. My but some of them were big. Some of 'em had five stories to 'em. Then we wandered around an’ a big feller who must abeen a captain or somethin' came up an’ told us to go to the bizness office. We didn't have any bizness to do, but we went there anyway an’ there was a long line of people giving a man behind some bars a lot of money. I asked a lot of boys what that man had done to get behind the liars, an’ they jus’ laughed. I guess that they don’t want anyone to know about it. Then a man came up an’ said “one dollar, please, for the Barometer. Now I didn't need any barometer, hut the feller in front of me paid him an’ I didn’t want them to think I was stingy, so I gave him my dollar. It went on just like that until we got our little cards that they gave us about full. These city folks certainly tried to do us for all the money that they could. Then at last they told us to go to the captain an get our uniforms. We ran all the way so we could get them quick, an ran right home an’ put them on. My, we did look like men with those clothes on. Mamma an' papa would surely have been proud of us then. The next night there was a big party that the V. M. C. A. gave us. It was a vast affair. All the teachers were there and I met the president. It was a great hour of triumph for me an' I wish mamma could have seen me then. Well college went on all right until one night there were five or six boys grabbed me when I was down town an’ they took me down to Mary's River an' said that they had been asked to teach me how to swim. They threw me in an’ when I got out I was awful mad an’ then they jumped on me an' said that my hair wasn't the right style, an’ that they wanted to show rnc how � o wear it, an’ they cut it all off, saying it would grow out all right. They were awful rough, but they were sophermores, or somethin’ like that, so they don’t know any better I guess. One day we formed a football team an' learned how to play, an’ after we found out how to do it we were to play the sophermores. The night before the game we all met to have a rally, an’ a lot of the sophermores came out an’ tried to put us into the fountain, an' there were a lot of juniors an’ seniors to help them. I don't see why they don't like us; we're just as good-looking 114 3 they arc. Anyway, we stood right up and shoved ’em around an they couldn't do anything. We all had a good time and rallied an awful lot, until President Kerr came out an' told us to go home an go to bed. It made him awful mad an a few days later lie got all the hoys that had been hurting us up before all the people and just gave them flic dickens. I guess they won't do it any more. After that we didn’t do anything to speak of but drill, till one day wc decided to give a party all by ourselves, so wc got all our vittlcs ready, an got Major Mac an' Jacky Horner an' Prcxy (that’s what we call President Kerr when he isn't looking) to talk to us, an' then we danced. Those sopherinorcs came around again an’ broke a window, an threw a lot of nasty stuff in that smelled, but it didn’t hurt us any. Now that’s about all there is to write about, ’cause none of the other classes did anything at all, an’ we were the only ones what started anything, an’ I'm just sure that some of us will he a president or somethin’ ’cause the teachers all say that we are the smartest bunch that ever came to 0.

REVIEW OF THE SEASON IN' September, when Schildmiller made his first call for football practice, things looked bright for a championship team. Of the old men, Hawley, Keck, Huntley. Reynolds, Enberg, Rasmussen, Loosely and Breit-hanpt had returned to College and turned out with a determination to fight as they had never fought before for the honor of the Orange and black on the gridiron. Hastings, after a year at Stanford, decided to return to O. A. C. and help her win more gridiron honors. The return of Dunn, two weeks later, raised the prospects to a still higher level. Of course, such men as Captain-elect Wallace, the redoubtable “Tubby” Wolff, cx-Captain “Jim” Evenden, Dutch” Bergman and “Swede” Nelson were missed more than any but those on the inner circle can tell. With these men as a nucleus, the Orange supporters were confident that Coach Schildmiller would be able to develop a winning team. A large bunch of Freshmen turned out for practice, but they did not seem to take kindly to the new rules, or any rules at all for that matter, for when they were sifted down, Everett May. formerly of Willamette and Multnomah. Don Kellogg and Roy Tycer were all that could be used on the team. Otto Sitton and “Toots” Richardson were drafted from the previous year's class teams for service on the College eleven. Things went smoothly for a while, but 100 troubles were to follow thick and fast. Octy Enberg had his knee thrown out of place in a practice scrimmage and was out of the game until November 3. Captain Hawley left his posi- tion in the line and filled Enberg's place at halfback. Soon afterward Brcithaupt’s foot was injured, necessitating his removal from the game for the season. The team as a whole did not develop as well as was expected, and when the time came for the game with the Alumni, it was far from a perfect team that took the field against the old O. A. C. gridiron warriors. By hard playing the old grads were kept from scoring, but the greater part ot the light took place in O. A. C. s territory. Two weeks later we met and defeated the Willamette University team by the score of 9 to 6; but it was a close call, for Willamette pressed us hard all of the time and it was due more to luck than our good playing that we won the game. Some good hard practice put the team in fair shape for the V. S. C. game in Portland on October 29. We won the game, 9 to 3, but those husky Evergreens gave us an awful scare in the lirst part of the game. Thus encouraged by success in the first Conference game, the Beavers went into the Whitman game with a determination to uphold their former good record against the Missionaries. Although Whitman had a strong team, fate favored our men and we won the game by a margin of 9 to 0. By thus defeating two Conference college teams, O. A. C. was justified in feeling somewhat confident of the outcome of the game with our old-time rival. University of Oregon, on the local grounds, November 12. Our men fought with a determina- tion that wins, but the fast, precise plays pulled off by their heavier opponents were too much to withstand, and once more Oregon triumphed over us by a 12 to 0 score. One more game remained to be played. We met the University of Washington team in Seattle on Thanksgiving Day. but our men. bruised and crippled from the effects of the Oregon game, were simply overwhelmed by the heavy Washingtonians. losing the game 22 to 0. With r.vcrctt May as captain for 1911. we hope for a strong and victorious team under his guidance. 1C2 BIRD N. HAWLEY Hawley has played his second year on the team. Under Metzger’s guidance and instructions lie developed into one of the strongest guards in the Conference. He was “always in the game. and his work was of such an excellent character that lie gained the complete confidence of his teammates. Hence his selection as captain to pilot the Beavers through the rough and stormy voyage of the past season. Because of the scarcity of tackles at the beginning of the season. Hawley left his guard position and filled in where he was most needed, but the injury of F.nbcrg necessitated his further shifting, this time to a half-hack position where he did remarkable work in carrying the ball. He is the best lighter on the team and never lets tip until the last whistle blows. His onslaughts are simply irresistible. Had it not been for his desire to do the most for the success of his team by playing in a position where he was of greatest value, he would undoubtedly have had the honor of being chosen for the All-Xorthwest team. EVERETT MAY Captain-elect May entered O. A. C. with two years of football experience—one at Willamette University and one at Multnomah Club, lie won many friends and admirers by his gentlemanly conduct, both on and off the field, but his being chosen to lead his teammates in his second year goes much farther in telling of the position which he holds in the esteem and confidence of the players and rooters, than can possibly be expressed on paper. The honor of having the opportunity to pilot the Beavers to victory in 1911 was bestowed upon him as a reward for the brilliant work and display of Beaver spirit which characterized his playing throughout the season. 11 is fierce tackling and his strong offensive playing, together with his cool head, heavy weight, great speed and strength, were of untold value in the Beaver line. We wish him the best of success as 1U3 II.ovi.kv Skimrns Maicomii Cox WALTER KECK “Chief lias been playing football tor ns tor three years and has always been one of the mainstays on the team. He has no superior in the Northwest at punting, and on many occasions his long. high, elusive spirals have been the means of saving or winning a game for O. A. C. lie is a tierce tackier, but in carrying the ball lies his greatest value. His rushes arc like a cyclone—leaving a mass of hair, blood and twisted opponents in his wake. Chief graduates this year. GEORGE HASTINGS Hub played a star game for the Heavers in 1008. and after a year’s absence, returned to us again. He is considerably lighter than any other halfback playing in the Conference, but the manner in which he eludes the opposing tacklers and advances the ball is a marvel to both players and spectators. He was a candidate for All Northwest honors. OSCAR ENBERG “Octy” has been with us for three years now. lie came to O. A. C. from Baker City High School, where he captained a championship team. Injuries kept him out of the game for a part of the season, but when he played he made up for lost time. We will long remember that touchdown in the Whitman game. “Octy” graduates this year and his loss will be keenly felt. FLOYD HUNTLEY By his brilliant work during the past season Heck has proven beyond a doubt that he is the classiest end in the Northwest. He started playing football one year ago and developed into an All-Northwest man in a single season. At receiving forward passes lie has few superiors and is also a sure and hard tackier. He was the unanimous choice of the critics for All-Northwest end. 1GI DONALD KELLOGG Don” hails from Hoquiam. Washington, where he played three years on the High School team, being captain two years. With this enviable record he came to (). A. C. and soon made good. He is exceptionally strong on defense, often “smearing” the play before it is really started. With his past experience and three more years of College football ahead of him. Don” will be a mainstay on future Heaver teams. GORDON RASMUSSEN Hasty played his second year of College football and distinguished himself by consistent work. His speed and cool head make him a very valuable man behind the line. He always has plenty of pep and spurs his teammates on until the last whistle. With two more years ahead of him Rasty’s future as a gridiron warrior is. indeed, bright. RAYMOND LOOSLEY Monk gained his laurels in 1900 at the tackle position, but during the past season he played guard equally as well. His playing was not spectacular, but he was always iu the game, fighting like a veteran and often broke up plays behind the opponents’ line. We will lose Monk by graduation. OTTO SITTON Otto was discovered in a class game one year ago, and early in the past season became a permanent fixture on the first team. He fights from whistle to whistle, and, although lighter than the average lineman, lie frequently breaks through the opposing line: and he is also down on punts as soon as the ends. Otto will be back next year and be a formidable contender for All Northwest honors. 1C5 CHARLES REYNOLDS Shrimp” hails from La Grande, where, after playing foot-hall for two years on the High School team, he decided to come to Corvallis and show us how the great College game should be played. He has come about as near doing it as any 125 pounds of humanity possibly could. His playing in the Oregon game was superb. He handles his team like a veteran and has the full confidence of his teammates. He is out for the Ml-Northwest team next year. ROV TYCKR Tyccr hails from Brownsville High School, where he had two years’ football experience before coining to O. A. C. Although a Freshman, his work in practice soon attracted the attention of the coaches, and in a short time he was a fixture on the team. He played a good, strong game at all times and it is fortunate that the Beavers will have such a man to help win laurels on future teams. CLIFFORD DUNN “Clift has been with us for two years now, and is considered one of the most reliable men on the team. He was late ;n reporting last fall, but the news of his arrival was the cause of much rejoicing about the campus. His strong points arc accurate passing and “rough-housing his opponent. A number of critics selected him for the All-Northwest team. We will miss “Cliff’ at center next year. WHITELEY RICHARDSON Toots” had two years’ experience on the Salem High School football team, serving as captain one season, before he came to O. A. C. During his Freshman year lie played on his class team, but the past season his ability to carry the ball was soon recognized by the coaches, and he was placed on the first squad, where he distinguished him self. O. A. C. is fortunate to have such a man for next year's team. 166 ‘Tilk” Pilkington. ‘CiEO.” SCHILDMILUR. Meat! I'oothall Coach. “Ciiaun-cy Haw i ng ‘Sam” Doi-ax. Jim Arhutiinot. Head of Athletics. Mai.com n Cox, Athletic Manager. Da. Stkckkl, Coach of Track. THE BASE BALL . SEASON season of 1910 brought O. A. C. more success in baseball than she had M ever before experienced. It is true that we had a number of good men to J begin with, but too much credit cannot be given Coach Jones for the work he did in developing the team. The first games of the season were played with Whitman on the home grounds. We lost the first game by a close score, but in the second Whitman was shut out, 3-0. Idaho came next, but was defeated easily in one game and tied in the other. The men on the team considered the season very enjoyable as well as successful because of the trip for the games with Whitman. Washington State College and Idaho on their home grounds. The team first journeyed to Walla Walla to play a series of two games with the Missionaries. In the first game Borleski pitched, and was defeated for the first time of the season, O. A. C. winning, :� -4. Whitman won the second game, however, by a score of 4-2. Washington State College was next on the list. They put up a great game, but we finally beat them in 12 innings, 5-4. The second ended 0 to 1 in our favor. A conflicting track meet necessitated the playing of the two games with Idaho in one day. The weather was not favorable for good baseball and at the end of nine innings the score stood 10-10. but in the tenth inning we succeeded in running in four tallies and taking the game. The second game was also added to the Beavers' list of victories by a score of 8-5. On May 13 and 14 we met the University of Washington on our home lot, and divided 172 honors in the two games played. Two weeks later c walloped U. of O. in two hotly contested games in Eugene, and on May 24 we triumphed over Washington State College at Corvallis in two games in one day. Then came the haughty U. of O. team, determined for revenge, to play the final and deciding games. In the first game they bested us slightly, but in the last game we won a glorious victory of 10-4, and once more the Northwest Championship pennant floated proudly from the flagstaff of the Administration Building. COACH JONES Fielder Jones needs no introduction to the baseball fans of the country, and it was indeed a happy moment when the Orange supporters learned that this man. acknowledged to be one of the greatest generals in the baseball world, the ex-manager of the famous “White Sox Ilitlcss Wonders,” had been secured to coach the team. It spoke loudly of another Northwest Championship to the followers of the Orange O. nor were they to be disappointed. Coach Jones was with the team from the very first, and. though he had important business in Portland, was present at every important game. When it became known that the new coach was out with the team, the “fans” crowded around, anxious to sec the great man in action. All were there to criticise, and many were the expressions of approval heard. At the very start Coach Jones started the men in by making games among themselves, and with the various class teams, thus giving them some very valuable experience. From the major leagues the Coach brought a complete knowledge of the scientific end of baseball, and to his generalship, his constant hammering in of the fine points of the game till they became almost second nature to the men. O. A. C. owes much of the credit for the privilege of flying the Northwest Championship Banner from her spires. 17:4 CAPT. POFF, Lett Field Ray Poff. 11. earned his baseball letter in his Freshman year, and has already completed three years of service for O. A. C.. how well, is indicated by his choice as Captain of the lt)10 team. He has “made good. This describes the work of Captain Poff Iasi season, both as a leader and as a player, as no other words can describe it. His work has never been of the “grandstand” type, but rather of that dependable kind which plays such an important part in the winning of games and which justifies a man’s teammates in their selection of him as leader. To his efficient leadership is due no small part of the success of the season of 1010. CAPTAIN-ELECT KEENE, Pitcher Lawrence Keene, ’ll. came to O. A. C. with a remarkable High School reputation throughout the Willamette Valley, having been the star man at Salem High during his entire High School career. He tried out lor the team in his Sophomore year and immediately made good. In the selection of “Larry” as leader of the loll team, supporters of the Orange feel that no better man for the place could have been chosen. For two years he has served the school and proven himself well worthy of leadership. His work has always been of the highest quality, and all know that, with Larry hack in the box this season, we will not want for r good basis around which to build a team. 171 GEORGE REl BEN, Pitcher George Rcihcn, ’ll, is essentially an Q. A. C. product, coming here a green man, and making the team at his first attempt. Me is always a hard worker and is in the game at all times. George shared the box honors last season equally with Keene. He will be back at the same old stand this year, with added experience and better curves, to serve his third consecutive year for O. A. C. EMIL CARROL, Right Field Emil Carrol. ’10, was one of the veterans of the team. During the last two seasons he has played right field, and has shown that he is worthy of the place. His work in the field was exceptionally good. “Beefc’s” speedy running catches, coupled with his speedy base running, made him one of the mainstays of the team. YYc lost him by graduation. OTTO MORRE, Catcher Otto Morre, ’10. is one of the best catchers in the Northwest. Those who watched his work last year could not help but consider him among the best. “Tow,” cx-capt., graduates this year, but his name will long be remembered in this institution, and it is safe to say that it will he many years before we get his equal. His throwing to the bases is accurate, and his good work with the willow is one of the sensations of the team. HARRY COOPER, First Base Harry Cooper, 12. or Slim.” as lie is called, stepped into the position of iirst base in his first attempt at College baseball “Slim’s” pulling them out of the atmosphere not only inspired his teammates but won applause from the spectators. He has a great future ahead of him on the diamond, and he will certainly make good 173 MKRVIN HORTON, Second Base Mcrvin Horton, '10, was the smallest man on the team but also one of the fastest. Doe” fields well, but his value as a ball player lies chiefly in his ability as a base stealer and rim-better. When it comes to working the umpire. “Doc” is right there. It will be some time before we will get another like “Doc. We will miss him in the mil season. WREN C. CREWS, Shortstop Wren C. Crews, ’10. was one of the fastest men on the Varsity diamond. His playing was not that of the grandstand type or sensational type, but of the steady kind that wins the game. “Scrooby,” ex-capt., was a veteran of the team. His work with the stick was of the best. He won great renown as a base stealer, and for run-getting he ranks among the top Hoteliers. It will take a good man to fill ScroobyV’ place. CLIFFORD REED, Third Base Clifford Reed broke into the game last season, playing at the difficult corner. His steady playing, coupled with his good whip, made him one of the mainstays of the team. “Teddy” played great ball on the Northwest trip. He won great renown as a hunter, and as a ground covcrer, “Teddy” has no equal. He has a bright future and we will hear from “Teddy” this season. WALTER KECK, Center Field Walter Keck, 'll, is a slugger of renown. His hits were scattered, but they came at critical times and generally counted for runs. “Chief's” ability as a ball player lies in his speed and his good judgment. His loss will be felt as keenly on the diamond as on the gridiron next year, for he has proven- himself a valuable man in the lineup and has won the confidence of the Orange rooters. 17'� 1910 BASE BALL SEASON OFFICERS.

Added to these rather discouraging features, we had no track to work on, the old having been torn up to make room for the new Armory, and though every effort had been made to do so, no trainer had been found to coach the men. This, however, was remedied by Director Angell offering to take up the work. This put a new aspect on affairs and many plans were brought forward to get out the much desired new material and see what it looked like. However, in spite of all efforts, very few men turned out for work, and it was not until the Inter-Companv meet on March 19 that we really got a line on what was in hiding in the new material line. Captain Bergman was on hand to get the names of all promising men, in order to get them out for the Varsity. Much material, promising and otherwise, was thus shown up, and the prospects were considerably bettered. However, they could have been better, and we hope they will be next season. 180 O. A.

In addition to this handicap another great hindrance confronted the few who were training, the old track having been torn up ami the new one not being in first class shape to train on. Several early meets such as the Inter-Company, Battalion, and Inter-class meets helped materially to show up the men in line for the first team. At the Columbia Indoor Meet, held in April, at Portland, several new men showed good form. No records were broken at this meet, but many dopsters were surprised at the showing made by the new' men. O. A. C. got second place in this meet. In the meet with McMinnville College the men showed up well, the day being ideal for record marks. Brown and Shad-duck made good time in the mile and half-mile, respectively. Startzoff captured a college record by jumping 21 feet 7 inches. The record previous to this time was 21 feet 4 inches, made by Lounsberry in 1908. Captain Bergman won the hundred-yard and the two-twenty-yard dashes with ease, making fast time in each. The annual dual meet with the U. of )., held at Eugene in May, was won by the University team. Octic ’ Enberg captured a record by heaving the discus 121 feet 4 inches. The dual meet with W. S. C, held on the home field, was won by the visitors. Some of the fastest men in the Northwest competed in this meet. In the broad jump Startzoff established a new record by clearing 22 feet 2 inches, breaking his own record of 21 feet 7 inches made at McMinnville about a month before. In selecting Enberg as captain in 1911, the supporters of the Orange feel that the team has placed its destinies in the hands of an excellent man. We hope to have better success than in the season of 1910. 1S2 O. A. C.--W. S. C. DUAL MEET CORVALLIS, MAY 28, 1910. EVENT. FIRST. SECOND. THIRD. RECORD. 100-yd. dash Nelson, W.S.C. Startzoff, O.A.C.

Beach . . 1904 iso REVIEW OF BASKET BALL SEASON 1910-1911 QA. C. has sto xl sponsor for many basketball teams in the past. This College has always been considered a championship possibility; (). A. C. has been represented by teams altogether invincible, teams that have played and beaten the best that could be produced, East or West. When we hark backward a trifle and listen for heroic names, for names that arc to rest heavy in tradition, we hear such as these among the leaders: “Skcctcr Swann, “Shorty Foster, Nollic Reed, “Hame liilveu, “Lengthy Cate, “Rat” Rhinehart, “Heinie Rooper, “Doc Horton, and more—Harry Moore, and many more. O. A. C. still points a finger of pride at the deeds of these heroes, and says, “How like pigmies do Eugene’s Fentons, Walkers, and Jamisons compare with these. We have decreed that these men shall be great. The season of 19101911 leaves us with one of the poorest records of games won, played, and lost, in the history of the sport at (). A. C. It also leaves another sort of record—the record of a team starting under the severest load of handicaps imaginable, playing the entire season with a schedule of small games while their contemporaries play big games; w ithout a coach, with no prospect of enjoyable trips, and all this without a grumble. At the beginning of the season there were only two members of the previous season’s team in the game. Captain Reed and “Slim” Cooper. Captain Reed assumed the duties and responsibilities of coaching, selecting and directing the players, as he thought, temporarily. And “T eddy” certainly had shouldered a tremendous load: for the team had to be completed with men of but little or no previous experience. He played with them, lectured, inspired, coached, coddled, and finally imbued each with such a spirit of Fight” that by the end of the season they were rather a formidable 187 aggregation. “Slim” Cooper stood by Captain Reed in his every effort, and to the “Harlem Spider belongs the credit for many creditable acts during the trying times. “Funny” Mattson proved a lion, an untamable fighter; he rarely forgot to smite, however. Burdick, “the midget,” played forward; he failed to meet a man his equal for speed and cleverness in dribbling. Dement at center did all that he was capable of doing and did it effectively; “Toad” is not through with the game by a long howl. “Chief” Keck was finally pursuaded to return to the game for the closing contest—if he only could have played the entire season! The biggest handicap to the team, however, was that of not playing in the regular Conference Schedule; for this reason no O. A. C. player could be considered for a place on the “All Northwest Team.” But after it is all over and we cast another glance at the list of honorable names—it seems that there has been one name added to the list of heroic names. Is it necessary to write that name? The name of “Teddy” Reed! The next team will be led by Harry Cooper, the “Harlem Spider,” and it is altogether fitting that such should be the case. Captain Cooper—sounds all right. 188 THE BASKET BALL SEASON Officers Clifford Rked.................................Captain and Coach M. R.

C. had hut little trouble in annexing the first two championships, and as a reward for their good work the wrestlers were awarded the official orange “O”; hut this year our unseasoned team succumbed to the University of Washington grapplers, winning but two of the six bouts. Our winners were Sitton and Pea rev, and their victories gave them the Northwest Collegiate championship of their respective weights. Professor Arhuthnot, who has done much to further the interests of the wrestling game at O. A. C., was forced to send the team to Seattle with but two experienced men, leaving at home, because of sickness, three of the champions of the previous teams. Captain Sitton again demonstrated that he is without an equal in the Northwest, and for the third successive time won the championship at 175 pounds. In the 125-pound class Pearcv defeated the University of Washington captain, thus avenging the defeat at his hands last year. Hawley, of football fame, took up the wrestling game this year. His match at Seattle was the most exciting and bitterly fought of the season. Peterson, who learned the game at Mult- 191 nomah Club, represented O. A. C. in the 135-pound class. He, too. put up a stubborn fight, showing himself to be a fast and strong mat artist. The work of the two Freshmen, Kelly and Freydig, was the surprise of the season. With apparently no chance to make the team, they nevertheless worked steadily and faithfully, and when their opportunity came they were ready and made good. Charles Sitton was re elected for next year. With this seasoned wrestler to take the lead, with Professor Arbuthnot again to coach, and with five of this year's team again in harness, O. A. C. will have an excellent opportunity to bring the championship home next season. 1U2 CLASS FOOT BALL Oct. 14. Sophomores ............ 0 Oct. 15. Seniors ...............12 Oct. 20.

Minsii I'kiik aNTIL the year nineteen hundred ten the girls' literary societies entered the debates for the (Jatrh Cup. Owing to the increase in the number of societies it was deemed wise to have two cups, the girls debating for one and the boys debating for the other. The boys received the (latch Cup,” but a cup for the girls failed to make its appearance. For two years the girls debated for the imaginary cup, when they devised a plan by which their literary talents might be cultivated in a more enthusiastic way. The result of this inspiration was the girls’ literary contest held in the Armory January 22, 1910. The chief characteristic of this contest was that it was done exclusively by girls and women. It was originated, planned, managed and executed by them. All of the judges were women who were connected with the college, while the ushers and ticket sellers were members of the literary societies taking part in the contest. The contestants consisted of three girls from each of the six literary societies, one of which was entered as a reader, one as an impersonator, and one as an orator. While the judges were making their decisions musical selections were rendered by the Madrigal Club. 'The individual prizes were awarded as follows: Reader, Minnie Price, Clionian; Orator, Esther V. l eech, Feronian; Impersonator, Vera Haskell, Clionian. The Feronian Literary Society, having received the highest number of points, was awarded the Society Prize. This first attempt of the new plan proved o successful that it has been dec'ded to make thin one of the annual events of the college. 207 .A sSXi bar: c Zo EVOLUTION IN THE COUNTRY ARY JANE, on the farm, lived a simple life three hundred and sixty-four days in the year, and varied the monotony of simplicity only on the three hundred and sixty-fifth by feasting her eyes on the wonders of the traveling circus, and her stomach on pink lemonade and candy, which the circus bacteria had previously discovered. But ambition knocked at the farmhouse door, one day, and Mary Jane needs must go to the great agricultural college of which site had heard, where one learned to make the heavier-than-air biscuit, while the young agriculturists (how different from farmers!) learned to plow from books, rather than by wearying practice. For the first time our unsophisticated Mary Jane beholds the wonderful hobble skirt which the co-eds delight to wear, and the marvelous protuberances of curl and braid which shelter their brain-cavities, and is seized at once with deep dissatisfaction because of her smooth locks and ample skirts. After the rather painful and expensive process of registration, our verdant little freshman begins the process of initiation into the mysteries of cookery. To her untutored mind a potato was a potato, and pork, pork; but, oh! no, one now speaks of the former as a carbonhydratc food, and the latter as protein.” She learns to evolve a “menuc from which the deadly pie and nightmare-producing pancake are rigidly excluded. She delves into the natural sciences and is ever on the alert for the fear of death at the hand of the ever-present microbe, which she now suspects of lurking in the whitest milk and clearest water. These suspicions arc aroused after having looked through a microscope at some previously invisible whale, floundering around on the slide. Her vocabulary a la natural must be trimmed, polished and plucked into dictionary English by the Rhetoric Method.” Then she is ready to enlighten the world on various burning subjects through the medium of the “Rerchtold essay. After studying physics our Mary Jane understands why the apples on her father's trees fall thumpingly to the ground instead of sailing to the sky—it is gravity, the same thing that dashed Darius Green’s aeronautic hopes, likewise his flying machine. Clad in her conventional gymnasium costume, she undergoes a sort of medicated drill. At home she climbed trees, and ran like an antelope, but oh! the agony of these first awkward months, when her feet simply refused to move as they were ordered. Finally, however, she •’evolutes” into an intelligent automaton who hears the most complex orders, unmoved by hesitation or embarrassment. The languorous grace with which she dances the American Beauty Waltz” could not be improved upon by Terpsichore herself. 22ft Mary Jane learns, after hours of painstaking labor, to create a perfect buttonhole, to make the half-back stitch (no relation to football), and to evolve wonderful gowns copied after “chiffon,” a magazine just from Paris. In June Mary Jane returns home for a vacation. How she shudders at the sight of steaming heaps of buckwheat cakes, which her unenlightened family eat by the dozen. The pie for breakfast, and meat three times a day, which alas! she herself used to enjoy before eating of the tree of knowledge. Moral: Ignorance has its delights which wisdom cannot enjoy. By Ruth Smith. THE SENIOR A lonely feeling fills my inmost heart, As thinking o'er the past I turn and try To see the future and to prophesy My fate when from this school I must depart, And, unprepared for worldly strife, must start My ship of life upon the business sea, And trust myself to its cold charity, And at its helm must play my own poor part. Oh from my head drive this unfounded thought, That I am unprepared for worldly strife; I’d rather to my brains there had been brought The thought, I am prepared to cope with life. Oh may success elate my needing brain And stir my thoughts and elevate my aim. —Neil .. Simons. A NIGHT IN CAMP The long day had been full of joyous toil With paddle on swift streams and inland seas, And I at last had lain me down to rest, Safely housed 'neath the quiet forest trees. IIow won’drouslv the woodland sounds grew large, Blent in the hollow bigness of first drowse— My thoughts were drifting, half ’twixt dream and dream— Near conscious, yet unwilling to arouse. A twig snapped, and at once I was awake, Not with the straining nervousness of town, But with that poppy-pleasantness of thought That makes the hemlock boughs a bed of down. Impressions, vague as shadows in a mist, Slipped into consciousness and out again— Sometimes stark naked to be looked upon, Anon elusive, fleeting, grasped in vain. Hearing and sight and sense of smell were keen As they were never in the daylight hours. And yet the velvet fingers of the night Caressed as gently as sweet falling flowers. Distinct beneath the rapids’ rush and roar, Beneath the lesser gurgling, tinkling notes, I heard the chiming chapel bells of home; Yet .... Listening .... they were gone like sunbeam notes. A whippoorwill swung up and down his song; An owl cried strangely, wierdly to the night; Some prowler snuffed close by me on the ground, And 1 was broad awake and sat upright. Seeing the faint, blurred image of the moon Sprayed softly through the tent above my head, And hearing on the web of larger sounds The ’broidery of the unexpected spread. A distant crash of branches—then a pause; A faint “sniff! sniff!” near where I ate at dusk; 'l he little owl’s clear, sudden ‘‘Ko-ko-oh-h!” And Reynard's passing, with a scent of musk. A wood mouse scurried through the fallen leaves; The birds of passage called, high on the wing. At last—ah, perfect, silver purity— The white-throat sparrow’s song rose shimmering. As though a moonbeam throbbed in radiant sound. Was ever such an ecstasy of note This nightingale of northern solitudes Poured from his little, pulsing throat? 228 It seemed to thrill away from star to star— I listened ’till the last sweet phrase was gone. And then the night wind lulled me for a space, Until there grew the slow, gray light of dawn. —Alice Lindsey Jl'cbb. LOVE’S WAY Last spring when I was jilted I thought that I must die; My heart was sore and wilted, And tear-stained was my eye. Through all the weary summer I labored, knowing naught; I seldom if e'er heard from her: With anguish my heart was fraught. But autumn brought its sadness; Its fate was like my own, My love lost all its madness, My heart its sigh and moan. As winter’s blasts blew round inc My sorrows fled amain. I was as she had found me, My heart was whole again. And now its spring again, sir. My heart thrills to the core. And I am like all men, sir. For I’m in love once more. —N. L. S. TO HER It was spring time when 1 met her, And the sun was warm ami bright, So the dew upon the meadows Glistened in the morning light. ()h, her eyes were dark and lustrous, Like the raven’s wing her hair; And the red and white of roses Shone within her cheeks so fair. 'Twas in June time that I wooed her, And I won her as my bride. And the noonday sun above us Cast no shadows by our side. She was tall and lithe and graceful (There was witch’ry in her grace), And the radiancy of angels Was reflected in her face. In December still I love her As our twilight comes apace, And the slanting evening sunbeams Cast a halo ’round her face. Still her eyes arc dark and lustrous, Though her hair is white as snow; And the radiancy of angels Still within her face doth show. —By Franklin. 229 AN ORDINARY EVENT l ‘ Marion lliuiclmiixcn RACTICAI.I.Y all writer: of short stories have unanimously adopted the form of I having a heroine in their narrative. Contrary to the usual form, mine has no heroine; therefore you need read no farther, for it will he very prosaic and uninteresting. It was a balmy day, which was fortunate for the reason that it required all of the balm to soothe shattered nerves after the casualties were over. The scene is laid on a quiet country highway with the thermometer registering about 9n degrees in the shade, but fortunately it was not necessary to stay in the shade. Our hero and the only other character in this sketch arc found ambling serenely along the said highway with the assistance of gasoline and an antiquated, string-halted chug wagon. Our hero, sad to relate, displaced a painful lack of knowledge in manipulating levers, throttle, etc. In fact his sole occupation is guiding the l oat, and at that his hands are full. The road stretched away in front, the monotony of the otherwise perfectly level land being broken by gentle rolls. The car had attained a velocity of about twenty miles per (haps), when suddenly a sandy spot appeared directly in front. The “shover, the other character, at once commenced to give our hero instructions as to guidance under sandy conditions. These were forgotten as soon as heard, for the verv simple reason that the car was now locked in a deadly grapple with the sand patch. All was well until our hero, in an over-anxious moment decided to take to the side of the road, lie neglected in his hasty summation of circumstances (if he made any) to take into account a rail fence and a telephone line. The front wheels left the rut, but the rear ones refused to be convinced. The shover leaned over, grabbed the tiller, and turned the front wheels back into the rut. Our hero, in full possession of his faculties, again turned them out so far that they became locked and refused to turn back. The telephone line now entered our story in the form of one pole applied to the front of the car. This was rapidly mowed down as “Old Ironsides looked for new fields to conquer, and found them in the guise of the telephone pole’s reinforcements, a rail fence. Rapidly advancing, the good old wag it walked through approximately thirty feet of the stake and rider, and came to a full stop with a grunt of satisfaction, indicating work well done. And in the meantime—for marvelous a' the fact may appear to the lay mind, the above recorded incidents occupied a certain space of time—the shover picked himself from off a soft and nearby mound of terra firma. whence he had gone a la Orville Wright, and inquired in a somewhat muddled tone, Who threw the bomb? Our hero, with a death grip still on the rudder, made reply in these immortal syllables, ’. Pole. Every good story has its moral and we, not to be outdone, have decided that two morals would not he inappropriate. Wc therefore respectfully submit the following for your consideration: First. Ain’t it the truth. Second. No matter how dark and stormy the night, remember 'he is still your mother-in-law. •Careful study of the monosyllable reveals a verv subtle “joak. A MAN’S OPINION OF HIMSELF ' NAME is James Henry Alexander Peacock. That explain itself. My dad’s M I ■ got enough money to buy all Wall street and when the old man dies I get the coin, so you had better be careful how you treat me. I only come to this college to give an inspiration to the poor, plodding students who will have to work while 1 � et back and enjoy myself. I’m very smart myself, been through three colleges. Bought the teachers off in each one and got my diploma. Mv grandfather’s grandfather was a corporal on the army, o you can see that our family had no cowards in it. That is why I like drill. It just comes natural to me, however, and I think I’ll alter the drill manual, for I think I can improve it greatly. When I first came into the delightful atmosphere of the colossal building known as the Armory I was filled with awe and great admiration. I think I will have one built for myself to use during recreation. 'I’he students seemed very careless with their rifles, and it fairly made the shivers go up my spine, for I thought 1 would be slaughtered any minute. When I went into drill, the other cadets thought I was no good, but I showed them. Tltev didn't execute the commands right ami I told the captain once when he made a mistake. He said that if I knew so much for me to take charge of the company. I started to, but the major said I hadn't better. I guess he was afraid I'd show the captain up. That captain will never be anv good, anyhow, if I don’t coach him while I'm in his company. I’m what the other fellows call high private in the rear rank. Once in executing squads right, the other fellows went one way and I went the other. I got severely knocked on the upper part of my frame known as my cranium. I was right, I know. The captain asked me why I was right, and I told him since 1 did not know to an exact cer- taintv and fearing to durate from the paths of rectitude and veracity, I couldn't presume with any degree of propriety to give him the desired information. I got a promotion. I am progressing very rapidly now. The captain and the rest favor me at every turn. Some days they even allow me to inarch with the file closers and put a private in my place, for ! got promoted to the front rank you know. They say that they don’t want me to ovcrdrill, so 1 can get in the final competitive in great shape. I know I can earn it, because even when I was a youngster I used to be able to drill, with a little gun my mother bought me, just as well as the cadets do here. I thing 1 could he commandant if the officers of the I'nitcd Stales Army could only realize how great is my knowledge of military science. But of course their brains arc not capable of such rapid progress as mine, so 1 suppose I'll have to be a private until they come to their senses and realize what a valuable man I am. 231 THE WANDERER IT was in the early pari of a warm spring evening that “Bill,” my roommate, returning home from his usual “fussing excursion of the afternoon, told me that he had made a discovery and that evening we would visit it. Even this scanty information, with which I was forced to hr satisfied until after supper, left me expectant, for I knew that with Hill adventure often lurked in the most out-of-the-way places. Supper over, he imparted the additional information that his discovery was no less than “Sinbad, the Sailor, a regular old tar. Thinking it fitting that we should have a suitable peace offering with which to approach such a great personage, we purloined some apples, an egg, and a couple of loaves of bread from the family larder, and with these safely stowed away look our course up the C. Sc E. track. At a little trestle just hevond the old target buttress we turned sharply to the left and descended to the creek bed. In response to our hail, a dim figure arose and threw some wood on the small campfire, at the same time calling a cheery welcome. After delivering our peace offerings, our host, with many thanks, invited us to make ourselves as comfortable as his limited furnishings w’ould permit, remaining standing until we were seated. Bill, as spokesman, engaged him in conversation, while I noted silently the piiet modulation of his voice, the grammatical correctness and freedom from coarseness of his speech, and his intelligent discussion. It appeared that he had been born near London, England, and as a sailor had visited every port of importance from South Africa to the West Indies; he had served in His Majesty’s Navy, and on our own coastwise vessels; later he had shipped on various river boats, and finally had given up life on shipboard in order to tramp through the country, unable to curb his wandering spirit. Finally he was asked, Do you ever expect to go to sea again?” “No,” he answered, I'm getting too old now; I'm not as spry as I once was. A fellow has to be pretty lively to get around aboard ship. lie stood up facing us. “How old do you think I am, anyway?” “About forty-five or fifty,” we hazarded, regarding his short, active figure. “Fifty! I'm sixty-seven years old. As he stood the flickering firelight cast his ruddy, jovial, kindly face into sharp relief, till I would have thought him a Santa Claus had not his picturesque garb marked him strongly as Sinbad, the Sailor, as Kill had said. His sailor turban and snug blue jumper, festooned by a double row of safety pins down the front, proclaimed him as one of the sea. Regarding his short, plump figure, indicating all the healthy vigor of a man in the prime of life, we could not help a feeling of admiration for this man, who had led for fifty years the hardest of lives, that of a sailor, and still, at the age of sixty-seven, could endure all the hardships that fall to the lot of a “Knight of the Road.” What would Rockefeller give for a constitution like this? We took our departure soon after, walking silently back up the track, each busy with our own thoughts. I recalled his remark, I never cared much for schooling. I left home when I was about twelve years old, and have worked hard ever since.” This man had lacked the two essentials, ambition and education, which go toward making a success. If a man has ambition lie will get an education, possibly not book learning,” but an education in the truer sense. This man had lacked cither ambition or the determination and “stick-to-it-iveness” which alone link ambition with success, and like thousands of others, was fated never to find his proper sphere, but to live, die, and be forgotten, leaving the world no better for his having lived in it. Just then Bill broke the silence. “Do you know, he said, that fellow reminds me strongly of one of Robert W. Service’s poems, ‘The Men Who Don’t Fit In.’ It goes something like this: 232 ‘There’s a race of men who don’t fit in, A race that can't he still; So they break the hearts of kith and kin, And they roam the world at will. They range the field am! they stem the flood, And they climb the mountain's crest; Theirs is the curse of the gipsy blood. And they don't know how to rest. If they just went straight they might go far, They arc strong and brave and true; But they’re always tired of the things that are And they want the strange and new.’ ‘This was a Man who don’t fit in,’” lie added, ‘'and his was a wasted life. His allotted span of 'three score years and ten’ almost run, and yet he is a wanderer, with nothing accomplished, no one to care for him, no home, no place to even rest his head at night, but doomed to go ever onward, until at last he finds eternal rest in a pauper's grave, unwept, unhonored and unsung.” —By J. K. Fairchild. DINNER CONVERSATION AT WALDO OH! MV! nothing to eat, as usual. But then this is Tuesday and tomorrow will make up for it, salad and pie—1 iust adore fruit salad. C) say, last Tuesday I was simply starved, so was Lucy and after luncheon we went down to Macy’s. We were so hungry that we ordered Fie a la Mode,” because we thought that wouldn’t take long to get. But it did not take a dreadful long time, and while we were waiting Lucy happened to remember that Miss Van I.icw said that pic was awfully hard to think on, and there was a sewing exam, at 4 o’clock (and you just can’t let anything interfere with your thinking at a sewing exam.), so we rushed out and said we wouldn’t take pie, after all, but a bag of candy. After buying some note paper and wood alcohol we started for school. Then we began to wonder what we would do with the candy in class, and finally decided it wasn’t what we wanted, anyway. So I suggested that we take it back and exchange it for ice cream. Lucy dared me, and as I never take a dare unless it is something dreadfully bad, we went back. One door was open. I never could have gone in if it had been closed. Fortunately no one was there but the girl. She looked at us rather pityingly, but took the candy back. We both ordered a college chum and we would have had a “lover’s delight” if it hadn't been so inappropriate. It’s wonderful how ice cream fills the vacancy in your stomach left by a Waldo Hall luncheon when alt you have is eternal tomatoes on toast and chocolate. 233 —Esther V. Leech. TO “KIDDER MATER Mother and mentor, counsellor and friend, Into whose bosom broad we all have poured Our hopes, fears, joys and sorrows without end, Certain to strike a sympathetic chord; For be our fortunes fair or most untoward We know you love us all alike (perhaps A shade more lenience toward the naughty chaps!) And unto all your kindness is outpoured. How can we tell you what you are to us— What phrase our loving gratitude to say? The college student is no wordy cuss; lie can express himself in just one way: Then hear us all with hearts and voices say, “Nine rahs for Mrs. Kidder—Hip, Hooray!” —A. L. w. A CAMP FIRE The lake moves gently, and the mists arc gray That veil the outlines of a distant shore Where blue hills change to purple; the last ray Of sunshine fades to opal; day is o'er Our fire leaps up against the leafy mass Of branches, stili and black against the sky, And sports strange shadows in the dew-wet grass— Wicrd shapes that creep and flit, now low, now high. We sit and listen to the crooning talcs Of frogs and night birds, and the rippling wake FroiiTdrcain-ships passing yonder with slow sails: Then, singing, homeward drift across the lake. You friend, will not forget in years to be The camp fire, and the summer night, and me. —Alice Lindsey Webb 234 A LETTER FROM HOME Old Mops Holler, Septober the onccst, nineteen hundred and twice. EAR SONNY: I just received yer letter of last week and, by gum, yer old dad is ■ proud of his firstborn son. You spoken as how yer pot an F in all yer studies and P as F stood fer famous. Now, I tol maw as how ver’d he a famous man 'fore long. I enclose $15.65, which is all I have at the present time. I sold one of them thar shotes and pot $10 fer it. Maw made $3 darning socks and Bill he pot the remainder picking hops. I’ll have to wear me old buffaler overcoat this winter, hut don't worry about old Si Easy. When his son gets an cdication, hi'll he president and his oP man live in der White House; and son, will the nation allow yer to have green shutters on the white house; ye know- maw alius liked green and white. I hope you will get yer eddication as cheap as yer can, for it cramps me and maw like Sam Mill to send the cash. Our young turkey died of some newfangled disease. Yer said ye was taking poultry husbandry, so what did the poor turkey die with? Its name was Betsey, you know. It jus laid down kinder easy like, and stuck its toes straight up in the air. Maw said it had fits, but I think it died of the gout, cause one foot was all bulged out. But yer jes send me home the recipe for bringing them to life and ol Si will he famous on Mogs Holler, by gum. I want you to he so that you can go to any of the deestrict schools and work the hardest problem, such as kerstracting the square root of a barrel of salt pork, and spell the hardest words. Then, hv gum, I want you to be able to go to the Romans, the Greeks, the Spaniards and all those other yards and talk to ’em in their own langyage. When yer go to Persia, get Ma some Persian silk and tell ’em we live in Mogs Holler and will give 'em a setten of old Martha's eggs ef they'll give you the silk. I never had much chance at lamin’, but me and Ma decided we'd sock you full of knowledge, if yer liver held out, regardless of expense. But, Hiram, go slow on the swaller tailed coats till we kin sell our alfalfa hay this spring, cause we're well nigh strapped. Now, regardin' the baseball throwin’ suit, and the boat paddlin' suit, and the wrestlin’ tights and the roller rinctum suit, and the basketball shoes, mind 1 don't keer for expense, because as I say, a young man can’t cdicate himself without money, but I wish you'd send home the suits after you get done with ’em, and I'll wear ’em through the winter under my other clothes. The winters arc gettin' more severe, and when I tried this winter to go without underclothes, I had to pay the doctor $4 to get the frog out of my neck. So, Hiram, don’t forget. In yer last letter ye tol’ about havin' some fun with a “crook, or somethin' like that. I don’t want any harm to come to anyl ody, but if tliet there crook is the one thet went off without payin’ Mirandv dcr board yer jes’ wait till the other feller knocks 'em down, then swat him across the neck with a fence rail and then I would meander across his stomach and then spit in his eve and drown him. If he don’t give yer the money, then I’d send old John Peacock after him. 1 don’t know much about yer bacteriologues or pillologucs or horticulture, hut I wouldn’t let none of the fellers try ter hurt me. I ain’t much of a penman, and hope you’ll excuse this letter. The lop-horned heifer is a parent once more and I am tryin’ in my poor weak way to teach it to drink out of a patent pail without pushin’ your old paw into the haymow. He is awful cute and jes’ loves ter swaller the tail of me Sunday-go-to-mcctin’ coat and then return it in a very moist condition. Mother is tryin’ to wear a pair of new false teeth. Her old ones are jes’ big enough for Susie. Now, son, don’t let any seanvour in the college tromp on yer and make yer spinal colum look like a corduroy budge in spring, but jes' climb on them and lick ’em. Wal, I must stop. We are all quite well except Fan, who has a gabled shoulder, and hope this will find you enjoying the same great blessing. YER LOVING FATHER. By B. McDaniel. 235 THE REVERIE OF AN ALUMNUS ONE evening, weary after a trying day at the office, I composed myself in a large, roomy armchair in my study. The fire leaped up the broad throat of the chimney, twisting and curling itself into fantastic shapes, casting a ruddy glow over the room and bringing it out in bold relief. My room, I had arranged in that style known only to college men. Pennants, relics of former days, adorned the walls, while here and there hung pictures of my graduating class. How dignified they looked in their caps and gowns. Upon the mantelpiece stood beautiful silver and gold cups, giving mute testimony to the honors won on track and field. In one corner stood a Turkish divan piled high with cushions, while the Hoor was covered with a soft, yielding Axminster, in the center of which lay the pelt of a huge Silvertip, the relic of a few weeks’ hunt in the Rockies. As I sat there, seeking rest and comfort, a strange, sweet peace came stealing into my soul. And I found that my thoughts, leaving the present, had linked me to the past, and bridged over a period of twenty years. Again I felt the warm, hearty handclasp of a fond father, and the tender, lingering kiss of a loving mother as I left for my first year at college. How strange it all seemed, and what foolish fears I experienced as I entered the portals of the old brown, weatherbeaten Administration building. The halls were filled with a throng of happy, carefree youths. Some were greeting old classmates, others hurried here and there intent upon numerous duties, while I, a homesick, bewildered youth, wandered aimlessly about, asking foolish questions, and creating intense enjoyment for the upper classmen. The days sped rapidly by, days of work, and yet of pleasure. What boyish pranks we played upon each other, and how we burned the midnight oil as we hastily crammed for the final exams. So we went on through the years, acquiring knowledge, learning new lessons in the great school of life, making new friends, and living the carefree life of college students, not caring for tomorrow, living only for today. Then came the Junior Prom. The large, roomy hall was beautifully decorated; the sweet, fragrant smell of freshly cut flowers filled the air. The sweet strains of a hidden orchestra, and the low plaintive sobbing of the violins seemed to strike an answering chord in the hearts of those present. Dainty visions in white Hitted here and there. Youths with stalwart forms and clean, manly faces, turned to greet laughing, roguish eyes. Couples glided gracefully over the glassy floor, murmuring soft nothings in dainty, shell-like ears, with souls and hearts tuned in accord with the music. Here was an inspiration not to be obtained outside the Old College. At last the years draw to a close; it is time to leave. With my diploma, I stand upon the threshold of life, leaving behind me dear scenes and memories; entering upon a new existence. A few parting words with the professors; the handclasp and tender words of parting from one that had grown dear through the years, and with the well-wishes of friends ringing in my ears, I step across the threshold, pass down through the campus, taking a last lingering look at old familiar scenes, and out into the world, the past behind but not forgotten, and the future before me. The fire has gone out; cold ashes fill the grate, and dark shadows lurk through the room, while outside the wind rustling through the branches stirs the leaves to a soft, gentle murmur, and I find that even a reverie can soothe a tired mind and bring peace to a weary soul. —By R. I). Bridges, ’ll—O. K. Charles, ’ll. 23 G TO THE SWEET GIRL GRADUATE You have found diverging paths, Dear maid, with the dream-lit eyes; Either seems as fair to you. Both may lead to paradise. Maidenhood You've found good; Will you then forsake it? Someone whispers of a home Which he begs that you will grace— Cosy cot for two alone, Ideal, rose-embowered place; Wifehood—this Would you miss? Maiden, will you take it? Tender dreams of what may be, Future bright where'er you look; Maids are drawn by mystery: Will you ope the sealed book? Wedding morn— Swain forlorn— Which one will you make it? —Alice Lindsey Webb. 2:jt The New O. A. C. Rooter at a Foot Ball Game JES’ had tu get a tickut. The fellar s said I wasn't a spanort und didn't show my cla s spirate if I didn't, so I did. It wus even worser an’ a green cap, by heck. The tickut was six hits, but they said, seein’ as how I was a goin’ to he loyal they'd only charge me four hits fer to get in an’ if I liked it I wus to pay the re -t when I cum out. I saw a hole in the fense when I went in, so I make up my mind I could cum out thar an' save me two hits, so I payed 'um my four hits. Of course, I got college spirate, even if I do wear a green cap. Wal, soon I started in for keeps. I wus decked out properly. I lied first my new green cap, it matched very well, next my new yellar socks, and my new checkered shirt and my light-colored suit and tan slices. Mayl e I wusn’t slicked up! Then 1 got a long cane with sum rihhons on 'em an’ a gurl tied a fcr-get-mc-not-yct how-on ’em. I lied my hollercuphone, and my rickety-racket-spinal-buzz, a tnachoncry, you run up your gurl's spine and hcer 'em holler like stuck pigs. My whole shebang cost me $7.50 and I am payin' fer it on the kerstallment plan, too. It’s ten cents down and ten cents a week fer seventy-four weeks. I'm generally modest, hut I jes’ lied to tell you how much I paid fer my new suit. Wal, I forgot to say thet this thing I wus goin’ too wus a feetball game. Played to develop the musseles of the right foot so when the caow kick thcr milk pail around the barn yu can kick the caow good and’ plenty. I got me a scat on the bleachers, which I thunk ought to he called stretchers, ’cause a fellar ain't got no chance tu stretch his legs an’ the dog-gone sun jes’ melts a fcllar’s rubber collar. I wus afraid of spontaneous comcpustion. Right next too me set a nice young lady, all dressed up in Huffy-ruHles an had a mouth full of some kind a gum which she chawed jes’ like a camel. By and by I herd the other fellars tooten their horns and hollerin', so I jumped up and hollered at them, too. I yells, So Boss, So Boss, an' then “Whoa Bill,” cause I thot I'd he original an’ everybody wood notice me. They did. The young lady wusn’t very perlite, howsumever. She told me if I wanted to holler like a fool to go hum to the corn field and scare the crows away. She looked kinda wild, so I thot maybe the sun had affected her brain, so I said mullin'. I kept my eye on her all the time after that, because I wus afraid thet maybe she'd have a fit. They wus hollerin’ ’cause our team wus coinin' onto the field. Pretty soon both of them were there. They got in a straight line a-facin’ each other. Somebody kicked a leather hag up in the air when the whistle blew an’ two fellars tried to pass it up at the same time when it come down. Such a mess! Everybody started to kick an’ bite an’ scratch till pretty soon a referee cums along, toots his whistle an’ grabs ’em by the legs and pulls ’em apart. Then they started all over again. Buntin’ ain't no name fer it. They jes’ slammed each other an' I thot they sure wood get killed entirely. I started down tu kill the whole durn shootin’ match, hut they got quieted down, so 1 staid where I wus. When they did stop both sides wus all bloody and dirty an' I told the young lady thet they jes’ looked awful, and she said they wus heroes and wus jes’ beautiful. I thot she liked to see a fellar all bloody, so I bumped my nose an’ made it all bloody, and asked if she didn’t think I wus beautiful. She looked kinda scornful-like at me an’ said as how an old cow had more cents ’an’ I did. I guess she wus right, ’cause 1 only lied two bits and two collar buttons with me. I thot she wus clear daffy, ’cause one minute she liked a fellar when lie wus bloody an’ then she didn’t. When they finally did get done buntin' each other everybody started to get down offen the bleachers to shake the bloody fellars’ hand. I wus so overcome by such a bloody spectacular thet I started home as fast as I could. I got caught in the jam an' swung my arms and kicked 23S ’cause I (hot maybe they'd scalp me. By jam, I don’t mean like what maw makes outen berries, but an hcnormous congregation of peoples. When I started to get out they resented my leavin’ so suddenly an’ started after me. I made fer the hole in the fense, a-swattin’ somebody at every step until I got there. I left the seat of my trousers on a nail at the fense and som of the rest of mv new suit in the fect-ball field. When I got safely on the outside 1 looked myself over. My hat wus clean gone. A part of my coattail wus lackin’, a shoe an’ sock lied disappeared, an’ all my racket machines wus nowhere in sight. I hid in some bushes until night an' then went home. I tol’ the fellars there thet I wus run over by an autermobile an they believed me, I guess. I vowed I wood never attempt to go to anuther fectball game, howsumever, even if I didn’t show any klass spirate. I saved my twenty-five cents an’ lost my clothes. I don’t know much about college of how much coal they burn on the sun, but I does know ennuf to keep away from a feetball game after this. —By B. McDaniel. VACATION As I think of books of learning. In my heart there is a yearning For the cabin and the mountain. For the beauty of the fountain, For the hunting and the roaming, For the river’s froth and foaming, For the free life of the peasant. For the wild duck and the pheasant. For the freedom and the fishing. For them all my heart is wishing; For the joy of getting nibbles, For the bob-white softly calling ’Midst the evening shadows falling; For the pleasure of the shooting Of the male grouse when he’s hooting; For the lake that sparkles brightly. For the skiff that floats so lightly. For the wind that whistles softly Through the pine tree tall and lofty. For the mountain’s myriad pleasures. Paramount of earthly treasures; All these joys I soon shall foster After college cares have parted. 219 —Sell .. Simmons. THE SENIOR’S SOLILOQUY “The time has come,” the Senior said, “To think of many things— Of theses, gowns, diplomas, grades. The whirl Commencement brings. “Of borrowed hooks and purloined pipes, That long-forgotten debt, Of something down at Maccy’s, And that unpaid baseball bet. “Of three-inch collars, this year’s ties, 11 ICR summer address, dues, Cards, invitations, photographs, Of what career to choose. “Of this old fetid to settle, And that old friend to greet; A farewell to the “Whalebone,” A “seven-up” to heat. “Of triHes that are still in hock, Of that last stroll with HER; Of uniforms to finally ditch, Of flowers at two plunks per.” The Senior groaned; his hair uprose; He wildly cried, fists clenching, “Would I were at the end of this, Instead of just commencing! 240 AMICITIAN LITERARY SOCIETY President........

A. C. IX years ago there was organized in the Oregon Agricultural College the Student Assembly, and with the adoption and approval of its constitution, that body took its i. W place among the organizations of the school. I’nder the direction of able leaders, the ' scope and influence of the Assembly has steadily widened, until now practically all student enterprises are controlled by this organization. After five vears of efficient work under the old constitution, a new and revised set of rules was adopted, the principal innovation being the substitution of a hoard of control to handle the affairs of the athletic department in place of the Athletic Council. Another new and important step was taken during the past year and that was the placing of student discipline in the hands of a committee appointed from the student body. Everyone feels that this was a commendable step, and as a result of this action the students feel a greater responsibility, and will undoubtedly I etter preserve order and good fellowship in the college. Says Gibbon: “All that is human must retrograde if it does not advance’’; and as we glance over the past records of the Student Assembly, none can deny that progress has been rapid and satisfactory. The interest taken in the meetings of this organization during the past year has been gratifving to all, a 'd everv student frrls that the Student' Assembly is a representative body, in which hr can take a part and feel in a measure responsible for its success. The officers who have successfully met the problems presented to them during the year are as follows: STODKNT BODY OFFICERS.

President of the College Student Body THE COLLEGE STUDENT COUNCIL ONE of the most important steps in advancement taken in recent years by a student body was taken early in January by the students of the Oregon Agricultural College, when they met in an assembly with the faculty and inaugurated a system of student self-government. This step was one of great moment to the students, as the faculty recognized the ability of a board of control to govern disciplinary affairs, and the undergraduates appreciated the confidence shown in them by those in control of the school. The scheme of handling the affairs was carefully worked out by a committee and a final report submitted to the President of the college and the Student Assembly. This report was approved by both, and the various members of the board of control took over the responsibility of maintaining order among the students. Certain rules were adopted by the board and approved by the assembly. 1 he work thus far has consisted in familiarizing themselves with conditions and making ri les for handling affairs. Since the first half year of it existence it has been so successful the members of the board and the students throughout the college look forward to a long and efficient life for student self-government.

THE MODERNIZED MERCHANT OF VENICE” M2 CLASS PLAY A HIT With the production of “The Modernized Merchant of Venice at the opera house last Friday night the Sophomore class made their debut into the dramatic field at O. A. C. and carried off high honors. The play was given for the purpose of raising a portion of the class fund for the new band stand. The whole cast, made up of members of the 12 class, performed their parts very creditably, particular mention being due Mr. Alfred I.unn as “Shylock and Karl Riley as Launcelot Gobbo,” the funny man. heading parts were well taken by Mr. McFadden as “Antonio, Mr. Boulan as “Bassanio, Mr. Thomson as “Gratiano” and Miss Rae Atherton as “Portia.” “Bill 'Taft —Mr. Maynard Young—looked like the real thing” as the policeman. Other members of the cast carried out their parts in a way that would do credit to themselves and their coaches. Miss Williams and Miss Houston. The story of the “Modernized Merchant of Venice preserves most of the characters of the Shakespeare original, but delegates to them parts in keeping with today. Bassanio, a member of the O. A. C. football team, desires to wed the fair Portia, but according to ihc will of Portia’s father the successful suitor must first choose of three caskets containing examinations in Caesar, Virgil and Cicero, and pass in the exam, chosen with a grade of 95 per cent. Bassanio therefore borrowed a pony from Shylock, an ex-player of the Oregon football team who had made a fortune betting on games and renting ponies to players, his friend Antonio and captain of the team going his bond, offering in forfeiture a pound of his hair, to be cut off nearest his brain. Shylock could only supply Caesar ponies, so Bassanio’s chance lay in his drawing the Caesar casket. In this he was GOBBO successful, and during the examination was watched by Miss Threedice, a teacher, the part being splendidly played by Miss Blanche Whittcmore. The pony was not returned in time, so Shylock claimed his bond in the middle of a very exciting Thanksgiving day football game, arresting Antonio in order to gain revenire on the latter for eloping with his ward, Jessica (Miss Mabel Huff). During the trial Portia came to the rescue in the guise of a young lawyer, and by calling in an X-ray photographer (Mr. Belknap) succeeded in proving that Antonio had no brain, thereby invalidating the bond. The fortunate Antonio comes in for the general compliments of all his friends, and the play winds up with the double marriage of Bassanio and Portia, and Gratiano and Xerissa (Miss Stai-bird). 274 THE MODERNIZED MERCHANT OF VENICE' THE “PINAFORE” “PINAFORE A GREAT SUCCESS “Pinafore,” the well-known Gilbert and Sullivan comic opera, was presented by the Madrigal and Glee clubs on Saturday night. The stage was arranged as a ship’s deck, with mast and rigging and a background of ocean, altogether a very effective setting. All the soloists were well suited to their parts, and, assisted by a good chorus, gave a very acceptable performance. Mr. Boddinghouse was Captain Corcoran of his Majesty’s ship the Pinafore; Queen Inez Johnson his daughter Elizabeth, the maid that loved a tar; Jack Porter, who appeared last year as Nan-kipoo in the Mikado, was equally successful as Ralph Rackstraw, the tar, who afterwards turns out to be Captain Corcoran, and the captain he, because of the mistake of their muse, Little Buttercups, during their infancy. The latter part was taken by Mrs. Pernot, another Joan of Arc star. Mr. Farnsworth appeared as the very realistic white-satined and gold-laced British admiral. Sir Joseph Porter, the “ruler of the Queen’s navee.” Miss Jennie Bossen starred as cousin Hebe. No account of the performance would be complete without mentioning Mr. Boquet, who was Dick Dcadeye, the comical one-eyed sailor. He was doing something laughable every minute, and made quite a “hit” in the crying effect which he produced with a sponge and handkerchief in the second act. The rollicking choruses with hornpipe figures added much to the general effect of the opera. The cast is as follows: The Rt. Hon. Sir Joseph Porter, First Lord of the Admiralty, Mr. W. Yates Farnsworth (basso cantante). Captain Corcoran, commanding H. M. S. Pinafore, Mr. Sidney Boddington (baritone). Ralph Rackstraw, able seaman, Mr. Jack Porter (tenor). Dick Deadeye, able seaman, Mr. A. G. B. Bouquet (bass). Bill Bobstav, boatswain’s mate, Mr. O. G. Crawford (baritone). Tom Tucker, midshipmate, Mr. Arnold Cook (tenor). Sergeant of marines. Josephine, the captain's daughter, Miss Queen Inez Johnson (soprano). Hebe, Sir Joseph’s first cousin, Miss Jennie Bossen (alto). Little Buttercup, a Portsmouth bum boat woman, Mrs. E. F. Pernot (soprano). First Lord’s sisters, his cousins, his aunts, sailors, marines, etc. 270 THE H. M. S. PINAFORE MR. BOB light and breezy two-art romedy was presented by the Utopians anu Zctc-M gathians on December third. J Katherine Rodgers (Miss Adelia Purvis), having just graduated from college, expected a visit from her college chum whom she called “Bob.” Philip Rovson (Edw. Atchison), Katherine’s cousin, believed Boh to be a man. and spoke of her as “Mr. Bob.” On the appointed day of Hob’s” arrival Mr. Brown (Albert Gibson), an apprentice in a law office, called to deliver important papers. Philip mistook Mr. Brown for “Mr. Bob,” and many were the humorous sittings of these two characters. Miss Leona Atherton played the part of “Mr. Bob” and disclosed herself at the opportune time. Philip found “Mr. Bob” no other than his old sweetheart, and everything was adjusted to the satisfaction of all. Miss Adelia Puvis proved herself the star of the evening, showing exceptional dramatic talent. Perfect freedom of action characterized every movement of this breezy summer girl. Mivs Mabel Muff as “Polly.” the maid, and Miss Leona Atherton as Mr. Bob rendered their parts in a very commendable manner. Miss Zoa Irwin as a typical old maid, with her mania for cats, was pleasing to the audience. Mr. Edward Atchison and Mr. Albert Gibson proved themselves e«jual to the occasion and did credit to their respective parts. R. B. Thompson was exceptionally good in his stiff and formal part as the butler. His manner of wooing Polly amused ''.and entertained the audience. Although this play is a light farce, the Utopion and Zctcgathian Societies reproduced it in a manner that will guarantee the success of future attempts. CAST OF CHARACTERS. Philip Rovson.....

The cast was exceptionally well chosen, each character fitting the part as though the play were written for the individual. The play itself was well staged, charmingly costumed and full of life and action. Miss Ramona Kane was the charming, winsome widow who captivated the heart of Hen Olsen, the excellent interpreter of the character “Billy Bolton.” Miss Ielleen Leech displayed wonderful ability in impersonating the character of Flora Wiggins. Alice Shepard’s portrayal ot the athletic girl was excellent, while Hortense Epplev displayed much skill in her favorite amusement with her camera as an assistant. Marie Cathey and Miss Hofer were typical and charming college girls, while Miss Esther l.eech as Miss Dal cllc, the chaperone, captivated the hearts of the entire audience. 'I'he part of Matty McGowan, the trainer, was exceptionally well presented by Gaylord Godfrey, while Elmer Dutton as Jack Harrabee and H. Walberg as Ollie Mitchell played well the parts of luckless suitors. A. K. Herman as the town marshal, Bert Bowels, Alva Jones and |as. Coughell as college students assisted in making the play an almost perfect production. Nothing could have been added to the character of Silent Murphy as portrayed by Carlson, while the parts of Stut Talmage and Tom Pearson were ably handled by Smead and Shepard. H. M. Turner as Peter Witherspoon, R. H. Roberts as Copernian Talbot and (). G. Reeves as Hiram Holton displayed much ability in portraying the characters of elderly gentlemen, while G. Sumerlin as Elan Hicks and H. G. Smith as his son kept the entire theater-goers convulsed with laughter. 282 THE COLLEGE WIDO X b;r o w n OF HARVARD” BROWN OF HARVARD” JUNIORS SCORE GREAT HIT “BROWN OF HARVARD” FULFILLS EVERY EXPECTATION LARGEST AUDIENCE OF SEASON And Probably Large ! Number Ever in Opera House---Play Strike the Audience in the Right Spot, and Players Cover Themselves With Glory. The Junior play, “Brown of Harvard.” at the opera house last night. broke the record in point of attendance and in point of successes made by college thespians. It is the concensus of opinion that the production was presented to better advantage than any that have preceded it, and this is very high praise, for many former efforts of the college young people have been of great merit. “Brown of Harvard had just the right flavar, was full of wit and fun and proved of a character that made it | ossib!c for the Junior talent to carry it along with a swing and dash that left nothing to be desired. Shortly after the curtain went up the audience was in perfect accord and in close touch with the stage people. A bond of sympathy was established anil all went merry a$ a marriage bell. To attempt mention of a few individual performers is scant justice to the others, all of whom carried their more or less prominent parts equally well. However, special credit is due Allan Burdick. who. as Tom Brown, was exceptionally strong in characterization. He was all that could 285 have been expected of an amiteur and his work came in for special praise. Herbert K. Olsen as Wilfred Kenyon, not his own master, was scarcely less strong, and Lawrence Prescott and A. V. Swarthonl, who carried the comedy parts, created a furore at c icli appearance. Miss Keren Davis, as Evelyn Kenyon, the girl in the case, was a lovely damsej and her conscientious and able effort met with decided favor. Others of the cast showed aptness for their particular parts, but the total number is large and personal mention is not possible. The � :ng-ing of college songs in the yard at Harvard pleased immensely and the audience demanded more. The production was put on to good scenic effect, and the staging showed long and effective preparation. Besides the cast. Mines Winifred Williams and Frances Houston, directors, arc entitled to sincere congratulations. The crowd at the opera house was the largest ever in attendance at a college play. The only vacant spot in the house was in the vicinity of the electric chandelier in the top of the dome. BROWN OF HARVARD CAST OF CHARACTERS. I om Brown..............................

I don’t sec how you can get up energy enough to laugh on this kind of a day. I should think you would want to save it for fanning. I can’t help it. I always laugh when I think of that track meet.” As far as I know, there isn't usually anything so humorous about a track meet. “There isn’t, but this one was unusual all around, and if you think that a girls' track meet at 5:30 in the morning is usual or solemn you had better attend one ami have your eyes opened. Well, tell me about it. I never heard of anvthing so absurd.” You remember Nell Sykes, don’t you?” “Why, of course I do, or that is, I never met her, but you talk so much al out her that I feel as if I had. “Anyway, she and lelcen Leach were a team one doesn’t ‘meet up with’ every day; and Kllcn Canfield struck a happy medium, both in temperament and size. Those three always had a way of making themselves conspicuous; hut on the track they were simply ‘out of sight.' 11 a ! ha! ha! ha!” Do, for pity’s sake, stop your laughing and go on.” Me laughing! You should have seen Mrs. Kidder on the side lines that morning, then you wouldn’t consider my present little explosion even a smile. And I.aura Van Meter, and Helen McFadden, and Grace Wallace! Hec, bee. hee, hec, hce. “Who is Laura Van Meter, and Mrs. Kidder, and Helen McFadden? Oh, begin at the first and tell me about it. L’se logical order, as the profs, used to say.” “Logical order? Oh, my! that expression and co-ed athletics don’t sound well together; but I'll he glad to tell you about it. “When the women’s new dormitory at (). A. C. was first opened the 287 young women who staved there were spoken of as the ‘Waldo Hall Girls,' and those who lived outside as ‘The Town Girls.’ The distinction is not so marked now and they all go under the name of O. A. C. women. But that division started the track meets. One 'bunch' challenged the other to meet them, and it soon became an annual event. In 1910 the ‘Town Girls,’ having won from the ‘Hall Girls' the year before, challanged them to another meet to be held on the college athletic field any time; the word went out at 5:30 a. m. Evidently the word went out Tuesday evening, for on Wednesday morning, June 5th, the event came off, to the surprise of the most of us. T didn't sec the start, but it must have been pretty well planned, for we turned out as soon as we heard the noise, and the events were well under way when wc arrived. I he way that we made tracks for the field wasn’t slow, either. “Who do you mean by 'we,’ and what was the hurry?” Oh, gee! that's so, I didn’t tell you. Why, this event is always kept a secret from the boys of the college; that’s why they decided on the date so suddenly. Well, wc knew, we Cau-thorn boys, that it would he coming off soon from the way the girls had been out in the back yards and vacant lots lifting big chunks of wood and throwing huge stones, jumping and taking long runs before breakfast. Really, we heard afterwards that certain girls had been using tools and other furniture to make a line the full length of the house, and had been training this way for weeks for the big hurdle race. But, believe me, Waldo Hall couldn't turn out in a body that time of day without Cauthorn finding it out. We kept pretty close tab on them anyway that year. Somebody heard the racket and gave the alarm, and in pretty short order we were sneaking along the fences and shrubbery as if about to make an attack on some offending enemy. I’d never have thought that there were so manv knot-holes in that fence, but somehow or other every man managed to get his eye to one. It looked good to us, but, say, it was awfully tantalizing, for about that time they got into a squabble about the shotput, anil we couldn’t hear more than half of it. Ruby Starr was stepping off the distance, and some one objected on the ground that it was not accurate, and suggested that they use a string with a broken yardstick which some one had had the presence of mind to bring along. They got that settled and called for the first dash, and started so that the grandstand would l e between us and the finish. We couldn’t stand that; so during the excitement of the race we made for the back part of the fence and were most of us over before wc were discovered. Our first impulse was to go over to the center of action; but those officials looked as if they were able to keep the field clear, so we took to the most distant bleachers. Wc just got settled in time to see the ‘Town Girls’ take all three places in the 200-yard dash. Say, it was great! They went through the regular form and 288 made Rood records. The hammer throw and broad jump were no child’s stunts either. There was some ‘rag chewing’ about the entries in the relay race, for the ‘Town Girls' were two points ahead of the 'Hall’ hunch, and Dean Greer had promised the ‘Hall Girls’ a treat if they won. Finallv, but not without suggestions from all the officials on both sides and most of the rooters, the matter was settled. My, but that was a pretty race! Waldo must have had the ice cream in mind, for they ran like mad, and as a result were easy winners. After a husky veil from both sides the whole contingent disappeared like magic, and we fellows marched bravely off the field, although we did feel like sneaks. “But really I don’t believe they cared very much for our watching. We certainly were a meek and well behaved lot, and we hoped as a reward they would invite us the next year— but they haven't yet.” —By Esther V.

For the first eleven years it was published as a monthly journal; the next four years as a weekly, and the last two as a semi-weekly. During all these years it has been the aim of the publication to collect all the news about the campus and to deliver it to the students in the most interesting manner possible. Oftentimes items would appear in the Barometer that did not meet the approval of the entire student body, but for the most part, those serving on the Barometer staff have always worked for the purpose of pleasing the majority. Too much credit cannot be given to the present editor and manager of this year’s Barometer. From the editor’s standpoint the staff this year has worked as one unit, harmony being the keynote in all operations. From the manager's standpoint, the financial side of this publication was never in all its history on a more firm foundation. As a result of this efficient management the students have been able to enjoy their Barometers every Monday and Thursday mornings without interruption. Literary ability is not the only requisite for the production of a first-class college paper. Hard work, patience, diligence and loyal spirit arc a few of the necessary requisites for its success. O. A. C. may justly be proud of its student publication, as it ranks on a par with the best edited college journals on the Pacific Coast. May its success always be marked in the future as it has been in the past. EDITORIAL STAFF. Editor-in-Chief............E. B. Lemon, ’ll Assistant Editor..........F. II.

Srurz HE STUDENT ENGINEER is a monthly magazine published by the Associated M w A Students of Engineering at O. A. C. Four years ago The Northwest Journal of Engineering, a magazine of several pages, appeared on the campus with considerably less than one hundred subscribers. In 1910 the name was changed to that of The Student Engineer, under which name it has thrived and grown into sixtv-four-page publication, with over half a thousand readers. Among its exchanges arc found the leading technical journals of the country, while there are numbered among the subscribers several of the most prominent engineers of the United States. It has been the policy of the staff to publish articles of interest to practicing engineers, to publish reports and experiments from the laboratories and drafting rooms, at the same time maintaining a college department of equal interest to the students and alumni of the institution. The O. A. C. Electrical and Engineering Show was instituted by Professor Thomas M. Gardner, the father of the Student Engineer, and has twice been carried through with marked success under the auspices of the staff. 294 STUDENT ENGINEER STAFF Calef. Rulifson. Dyer. Fbf.ri.y.

This talk was followed by a general discussion of the subject, and at the next meeting of the club it was decided that the organization take upon itself the responsibility of putting out such a publication and also furnish the financial backing for the same. Moreover, it was decided that the Domestic Science and Art School be regularly represented in the publication. As a result, a staff consisting of Mr. Hays, editor-in-chief. Miss Curran as associate editor, Mr. GriHin as business manager, and the various other assistants were elected. In June the first issue of ‘'The Oregon Countryman” made its appearance, and the excellence of the issue met with most hearty approval on all sides. When school closed, each man took upon himself the task of doing his share toward the enlargement of the subscription list, and although the results were perhaps not as good as had been expected, the list had grown in a short time to a size which could not be severely criticised when all things were considered. However, the staff was not yet entirely satisfied with the number of subscribers, and soon after school began in the Fall a man was sent on the road to secure a sufficient number of subscribers to induce advertisers to patronize the publication.

There are literary societies with their objective a higher standard of literary appreciation and presentation; there arc various clubs, social, engineering, agricultural, each with its own objective. Individual effort about us is recognized as weak and very apt to be ineffective. So the Young Men’s Christian Association, within the student body and distinctly a student enterprise, backed by a world-wide organization, seeks to co-ordinate and direct for the benefit of the entire body of men, the efforts of all those who believe in raising the standards. It is a religious organization, but non-sectarian, and it is recognized throughout the entire civilized world as the greatest agency in existence for enlisting the efforts of students in service for their fellows, and for raising the moral standards among college and university men. The Association of the Oregon Agricultural College has its home in Shepard Hall, a building whose privileges are open to all students who join in its maintenance, regardle-s of membership in the association. A reading and study room, an employment bureau, an information bureau, and a board and room bureau, all advantages being free to all students of course, are some of the special means through which the association seeks to serve the men of the institution. The association also has a strong Bible Study Department, with fourteen classes in operation, studying the great principles and the history of religion ami Christianity. The religious meetings department has also done some good work. About fifteen leading men of the state have been brought here to address the students, and also four international secretaries. It is planned to develop this phase of the work still more. All along the coast the association is coming into its rightful place of respect and influence, heading and influential men in the student body, both here and in the other institutions of importance, arc coming more and more to give their sympathy and their co-operation to it and to the work it is doing.

A. has, without doubt, enjoyed the most successful year since its or-■ J ganization. The work accomplished in previous years seemed at that time quite satisfactory, but not until the past season did the association realize the vast importance and diverse held it was necessary and possible to cover. The great factor that has helped more than any one other thing toward this unbounded success was the influential and conservative leadership of its secretary, Miss Anna Belle I.ce. It was not regarded in previous years as expedient or within the powers of the association to obtain a secretary who would devote her entire time to the work, but through the determination of the members last year the present secretary was engaged. Through her efforts many new branches of the work were introduced and successfully completed. The cabinet, under the leadership of Miss Shepard, deserves special credit for the manner in which they have worked ceaselessly for the benefits of the association. Present prospects point toward an even greater success the coming years, which will .no doubt prove the invaluable character of the V. V. C. A. OFFICERS.

ASSOCIATION HE present branch of the American Institute of Electrical Engineers is an outgrowth M of an association of engineers formed in 1905. This organization was composed of both mechanical and electrical engineering students, who, realizing the great benefit to be derived from the discussion and review of engineering achievements, formed a local association. As a result of the great increase in attendance in the Engineering School and the marked success of this early organization, a branch of the American Institute of Electrical Engineers was organized March 24, 190S. The branch takes up a major subject each year, upon which papers and discussions are given at the regular meetings throughout the college year. Besides these papers, the proceedings of the American Institute are reviewed and also articles of special interest in the leading technical journals. The subject for the present year is “Illuminating Engineering,” and as much as is possible in the few papers that can he given in a year, the subject is being treated from the mathematical, the theoretical and practical points of view. The following subjects have been presented: “Mathematics and Theory of Light,” Radiating Bodies,” “The Moore Light, “The Arc Lamp,” “The Incandescent Lamp, Photometry.” While the primary purpose of the organization is the pursuit of knowledge along electrical engineering lines, the social side of the profession is not forgotten, and as a result it is the custom to hold several of these functions during the year, which displace some of the regular meetings.

Lake in 1906, and consisted of but five members, while at present the membership is twenty-eight. The object of the club is primarily to benefit the members in parliamentary practice and ultimately to aid the forestry cause at large by encouraging and promoting forestry interests. This is accomplished by providing for general discussion and study of many phases of forestry matters as they exist at present. Live topics arc assigned to members and addresses are delivered by prominent men in the Forest Service and others who arc interested in this line of work. Owing to the increased membership, one of the two monthly meetings this year has been devoted to a social function, this change proving most satisfactory, since the members become better acquainted and a greater interest is taken in the work. The social meetings of the club, where everyone is required to tell a story, sing a song, or do some other stunt, have come to mean much to the members and are looked forward to as one of the most enjoyable events of college life.

C. for this school year M was held October 13, 1910, and a number of new members were found present, as well as the following members of last year: Zea Mays, Rosa Gallica, Ben Zalde-hyde, Amy (I. Dula, Con Vallaria, Al Tliea, Ethyl Nitrite, Vera Trina, Ham A. Melis, Bella Donna, Felix Mas, Cary O’Phylus and Sam Bucus. Much interest was shown in this meeting and the j-uccess of the year’s work was assured from the first. During the year many instructive lectures have been given the association by different members of the faculty, and great benefits have been derived from these. Interesting papers have also been prepared by members of the association, and these have proved valuable in the work of the pharmacy students. A live number of this year’s programs has been the question box. 'I'llrough this, many interesting and puzzling questions from the student’s standpoint have been answered. The association has been given interesting facts concerning the Pharmaceutical Convention, held at Washington, D. (’., last spring, the dean of the department having been present at this convention. 'Phe students of pharmacy arc becoming more and more enthused with the work of the association, and it bids fair to retain its high standard. OFFICERS.

'r VACH school of the Oregon Agricultural College has its club or organization; hence the School of Commerce has its Commercial Club. It was in the Fall of 1907 that the Juniors and Seniors of the School of Commerce met to bring about our present organ-V ization. During its infancy great things could not be expected of it, but it laid the foundation for succeeding classes to work upon. For two years the club consisted only of junior and senior commercial students, but the desired results could not be attained by this limitation; so in the fall of 1909 the club unanimously decided to include all students registered in the School of Commerce. The officers of the club arc chosen at the end of each semester, and this affords those fortunate enough to gain recognition a splendid opportunity to help in the work of advancing the interests of the department. By consent of Dean Bexell, the club is given an hour every other Friday afternoon for its meetings, the club room being the large and spacious bookkeeping parlors on the third floor of the Agronomy Building. The programs of the club are of a nature to be directly of interest to the members. At times during the year prominent men of Corvallis and the state at large address the club on matters that have a bearing upon the commercial world, while at other times the program is carried out entirely by the club members. The club has for its purpose the betterment of the School of Commerce, the bringing of those registered in this school in closer contact with one another, and lastly, the discussion of topics that are of interest to commercial people.

WALDO HALL AN IDEAL HOME FOR YOUNG WOMEN HE State of Oregon demands that the discipline and social life of the Oregon Agricul-m | tural College be the most ideal of any institution in the Northwest. A new plan has recently been put in vogue whereby the supervision of the government and social life of the young women is placed under control of one person who has no other duties to perform. For this latter position has been chosen Dean Crayne. One room on each corridor is set aside for the students of that corridor to meet and decide questions as to deportment and government. Other questions receiving attention here are those pertaining to the social, moral and physical life of the young women. The social life of the women is an important feature of their education. During the year one or two large entertainments are given in which all participate. Another social function is thar which occurs on the afternoons of the first Tuesday of every month, when, in so far as is possible, the members of the faculty and the women of the hall are “At Home” to their friends. Apart from these larger social functions, numerous dancing parties are given. But most important of all and most noticeable are the numerous small parties where groups of from four to twenty young people gather and spend a merry evening with games, candy-making and refresh- ments. The chafing-dish room, a new feature of this year, is a delight to every woman in the hall. Fitted with an electric plate and with china, the question of refreshments, often a difficult one, becomes a simple matter, indeed. News that a fireplace is being completed for the west parlor brings thoughts of marshmallows to toast and apples to “sputter in a row.” This, with the archery already promised and the athletic field which is being hoped for, makes the women of the hall feel that it is to be a home in every sense of the word. Mrs. Clara H. Waldo has ever been interested in the education of women, but has shown an especial interest in the women of Waldo Hall, made manifest by means of interesting and helpful lectures, by the presentation of beautiful pictures for the walls and bv a generous check each year for the furtherance of the social life. Surely life at Waldo Hall gives an invaluable training, while at the same time it offers a home to the college woman where she may receive guidance and inspiration to live a beautiful life.

CLl'IL THE MARGARET SNELL CLUB HE Margaret Snell Club, named in honor of Miss Snell, is the organization in our school which represents the Department of Domestic Science and Art. Its purpose is to promote an interest in domestic science and to assist in the social functions ot the college. The club was organized in 19US and has been growing in popularity ever since. Originally only such young women as were regularly voted into the club were admitted as members, but this year a new constitution has been adopted, and now any member of the Domestic Science Department is entitled to membership in the club. The work which can be accomplished under this new system will be much more efficient than that hitherto done by the club, for the active work of the organization has been handed over to a board of directors, the chairman of which is the dean of Domestic Science and Art, and in this way the work of the department and of the club will be combined to better advantage. The prospect of the club for the remainder of this year and the years to follow is very bright, and it is hoped that the influence it may exert will make itself felt throughout the entire state. The officers for this year are: President... Vice-President Secretary... Treasurer.... Lenora Makbi.im ...Vera Haskell ..Caryl Edwards ....Alice Leedy 338 MARGARET SNEI.L CLUR. Hghicultube Club HE Agricultural Club was organized in 1905 with a membership of IS, and has M Lj continued to grow in numbers and influence until at present, with its active mcm-hers and two honorary members, it is one of the strongest student clubs in the insti-tution. The organization of the club preceded the system of specialization in the various branches of agriculture, and since no one student can study all of the subjects offered in the School of Agriculture, the club serves as a place of practical instruction, as the weekly or fortnightly meetings serve to bridge the gap between the various special courses and give to all a broader idea cf the science of agriculture. Interesting and instructive programs are rendered at each meeting. The questions brought up are freely discussed, these discussions giving the student beneficial practice in expressing his thoughts before an audience, the value of which can scarcely be estimated for use in after life. Although the students themselves render these programs, to a very large extent occasionally a professor of the college, or, when practicable, a prominent farmer or leading authority in his particular line of agriculture is secured to address the chib. 'Flic club is instrumental in the publication of The Oregon Countryman, a monthly magazine devoted to the interests of agriculture and the home. OFFICERS I. M. Morgan—President. XXL XV. Geo.

THE LEWELLING CLUB HE Lewelling Club since its organization in the fall of 1907 has proved itself an M important factor in the dissemination of knowledge pertaining to horticulture. Its principal object is to encourage investigations and discussions of the various phases of horticulture, and in general to promote the interest of the student in horticulture. Throughout its short history the club has prospered, and this year the work and the interest displayed therein by the good attendance have been very commendable. In the course of its weekly meetings many instructive programs have been rendered by the membership The club is indebted to the members of the horticultural faculty for much of its success. Their efforts have contributed in no small degree to the benefits derived from the meetings. Occasionally, too, the club has been favored by lectures and talks by practical fruit growers and others engaged in horticultural pursuits. In this way the members are given an opportunity to acquire many valuable points of information from men who have worked out the various problems through practical experience All subjects included in each program are open for discussion, everybody being expected and encouraged to do his part and to offer the best that is in him. Thus a diversity of knowledge may be gained on many subjects. Incidentally the preparation of the program and the ensuing discussions afford the student much valuable practice of the kind which is not usually to be had in the class room. The club is probably the most democratic in the college, working under a most liberal policy, with practically none of those irksome restrictions often found in other clubs. Any student interested in any phase of horticulture is eligible for membership. FACULTY MEMBERS. Pnor. C. I. Lewis. A. G. It. Bouquet. C. L. Flint. C. A. Cole. E. J. Krause. F. R. Brown. A. A.

HIS club was organized in the fall of 1908 by several students and members of the M faculty who were interested in the practical use of the language. In the early life of the club the membership was comparatively small, but its enrollment increased rapidly after other students dicovercd the beneficial results derived from the work Taken up in the meetings. All students are eligible to membership who have completed one year of German or its equivalent. The club's regular meetings occur once a week, at which time the members render a program consisting of German songs and readings. One of the important objects of the club is the annual preparation and staging of a German composition, and is reproduced entirely in the German language, which feat taxes the ability of the individual members to the utmost and serves as a superior training.

M C 'Eliis organization has for its purpose the discussion of political and other ques-J tions that might be of interest from an economic or sociological standpoint. This club alvo carries on a correspondence with the International Peace Society and has charge of the planning and carrying out of a special peace day program, which last year was given on May 18 during convocation. It is expected to take up this work again this year. Owing to there being so many different entertainments and meetings the first of this year, the club was not reorganized until the beginning of the new year, but is now on a firm footing and expects to be very successful this year. The membership is open to faculty members and students in every department of the college. However, in order that the work may be made more successful the membership is limited to a small number. The officers and members this year are: President Vice-President ...C. D. Lafferty Secrctarv-Trcasurcr The other members are: A. Nishizaki A. V. Stt ARTHOUT R. C. Cochran A. A. Asbaiir E. T. PtEARE R. H. Underwood THE TALL MEN’S CLUB ■ y X organization for the purpose of creating intimacy between those whom nature has blessed by excessive length. It is an organization strictly of men who feel not the W B slightest ashamed over the fact that they are constantly looking down on the great S ' masses. Their main object is to have the height of doors increased, bath tubs lengthened, beds with their respective covers lengthened, ready-made clothes lengthened, etc. The restrictions placed on members are that they shall not pick currents off the wires between periods, nor tread upon the unfortunate short ones; they must also get out of the way for passing air ships; however, there was much dispute over the latter rule, as the members contended that they were present before the sky navigators began operations.

Newport is an ideal place for an outing, situated as it is, overlooking a broad expanse of the beautiful Pacific. Nature has especially favored the little city by the sea. Its beautiful scenery, invigorating salt air, and healthy environment, conduce to make it one of the most popular resorts in Oregon. The magnificent billows as they rear for a moment and then fall with a deafening rumble only to make room for another and still another, is a sight alone well worth the trip. In pleasing contrast to this are the smaller, white-crested ripples as they frolic and play along the sands for a time and then scamper back to Mother Ocean. Such was the destination of the happy, good-natured throng that boarded the palatial special of the Corvallis and Eastern, as it pulled out of Corvallis on the morning of the 23d of May. The weather was ideal. Old Sol beamed upon us with the satisfaction of a pleased monarch. Everyone seemed to have left care and books behind. As Corvallis faded from view, the familiar scenes of the campus were forgotten, and the ever-changing landscape afforded ample entertainment for the merry crowd. On and on we sped, winding and twisting our way through hills and valleys until finally we reached N aquina Bay. A short ride on the ferry brought us to the scene of our day’s merriment. Of course, one of the most important events of a picnic is the lunch, and this was by no means an exception here. Most of the party carefully guarded that part of their belongings and when the proper time arrived the contents of the well-filled baskets speedily disappeared. After our hunger had been partially satisfied, some one suggested a trip to the beach, and soon we were standing on the sands gazing at the long stretch of restless water. Unconsciously the crowd separated into little groups. Some preferred to visit the points of interest, such as the lighthouse and “Jump-off Joe, a few bathed in the inviting surf, others strolled along the beach in search of souvenirs, while some of the more lovelorn were Cupid’s willing prisoners, strolling through quiet lanes where the bright rhodendrons put forth their beautiful array of pink, and the soft sea breeze mingled its scent-laden breath with the tale of love of the enraptured swain. The day passed quickly and the fading twilight gently reminded us to be on our way. We boarded the “Newport and glided across the bay, where the puffing, wheezing engine wearily awaited us. We all waved a fond farewell to Mother Ocean, as we started on our homeward journey. As the train slowly climbed to the summit of the mountain the historic Haley’s comet in all its glory could be plainly seen in the western heavens. The remainder of the trip was uneventful. We reached the campus about midnight. It was a tired but happy crowd that finally dispersed, amid expressions of good will and cheery “good nights.” The class of 1910 proved themselves to be delightful hosts, and the excursion was thoroughly enioy-d by everyone. 352 SCENES AT THE COAST. JUNIOR FLUNK DAY () help perpetuate the event, which the “Naughty Nines” inaugurated when yet in M their desperate mood,” the 1911’s set aside some twelve hours for the celebration of “Junior Flunk Day,” which, having now twice broken into the ranks of annual events, may properly be regarded as a fixed feature. By five the Juniors were upon the campus lawn, cupolas, roofs and flag-poles, unfurling their colors to the morning breeze. Those Seniors who expected the Juniors to flv their colors in the dusky night, and who lay concealed among the trees until four in the morning, expecting to lower the colors, came to classes with staring eyes and open mouths, wondering why the fluttering banners were not in evidence the night before. But the ‘ Us,” anticipating a conspiracy, had changed the date from midnight to early dawn. 354 Eight o'clock found every man armed with a shovel, pick or hoe, and under the direction of Professor Peck the huskies worked until ten, grubbing out trees which had become undesirable in their location. Meanwhile the Junior co-eds prepared the c3ts for luncheon in the woods, and when the hour of ten arrived both boys and girls departed for the banks of Mary's River, where they beguiled the time with out-door basketball and nigger baby” until noon. Then came the lunch basket piled high with the fat of the land, to which all did full justice, the more because the unusual exercise of the morning had whetted the appetite of our always healthy and robust Oregon youth. To permit the boys to digest their dinner and put them in good humor besides, the girls challenged them to an indoor baseball game. The challenge being accepted, the girls huddled together in one neck of the timber to select a captain and, to make sure of victory, selected the most powerful among them for leader. The choice fell on Miss Nell Sykes, in whom all had the utmost confidence that she would successfully direct the girls efforts. On the opposing side were Chief Keck's ambitious youngsters, some of whom, rumor said, had never been on a real diamond, but probably had a few crippled ideas of what baseball really meant. Others, however, were more to be feared, and to even matters up a little and thus provide for possible contingencies, resolutions were passed that one out would retire an inning for the boys, while the girls were allowed the customary three. The brainiest baseball man was, of course, chosen as umpire, and he was no other than doughty Otto Moore. At first the game was close, that is, close to the beginning, but soon the Sykelikes” forged ahead and ran the score up to 27, leaving the boy behind with 20 less. Although threatened by an angry mob, “L mp” Moore succeeded in subduing the vicious crowd bv his gentle voice and twinkling eye. The ball was awarded to the captain of the victorious team, with a hip, hip, hurrah, and a tiger. The girls were in high glee. Presently great excitement was aroused on a near-by diamond which had been laid out, intended as a field for indoor ball. Here only the boys participated. A big basketball was used instead of an indoor ball; nevertheless several home runs were made while the balloon-like sphere came rattling down through the branches. Those who did not care for baseball as the favorite sport, enjoyed themselves canoeing on the river, while others did the fussing” stunt beneath the shady trees. Rulie and the stingless ‘‘Bee,” as usual, drew upon themselves the attention of those natives not otherwise engaged. The performance was as good as a picture show. 355 At the water’s edge a magnificent dock was constructed for the convenience of the lovers of the water, But lo! it also served another purpose—the sinking of man—for in attempting to land his lady fair, Carl Ilersey barely got her on terra firma when the center of gravity of his canoe slid from under him and sent Carl kicking to the river's bottom. The drag net was immediately produced and brought Carl's semi-lifeless body to the surface, where hot applications and a turn on the barrel soon revived him. At this juncture Ben’s canoe just hove in sight in the distance, which sent good cheer into the crowd for the picnickers had waited since nine in the morning for the pics with which Iclcen and “Olie were supposed to have started at an early hour. Next came the obstacle races, which were indeed interesting in the extreme. The course laid out was something like this—a twenty yard dash, under and through some scats on hands and knees, which offered an opening only one foot high, three feet wide and five feet long, then through a row of seats three feet high and eight feet wide, then over a hurdle which, to some of us, looked ten feet high, then over a bar seven feet in height; this was followed by a grand finish of ten yards. Three heats were necessary to permit all of the candidates to take part. Keck, Bridges and Hawley fought for honors in the finals, but “Chief,” being able to skin the cat quickest on the pose, hauled down the banner. I.ater in the afternoon all gathered on the banks of the river to witness the canoe races. First came a close race with four in each craft, then an exciting two-paddle driven run, followed by a contest between the Misses Sykes and Rust and Messrs. Calcf and Sinead, in which the girls excelled easily. To climax the situation, the last run was made between the two best canoes and the eight strongest men of the day. All was well, the race was hot, feeling ran high, but when only a rod from the finish there was scarcely a fourth of a length diffcrcnccc and the frightened pilot of the losing ship, fearing a collision, clutched at the air for the supposed safety of both, and in so doing submerged all humanity in the still cold waters of the placid river. Some snorted, the boys roared, girls shrieked with fear, cameras clicked, but the air was warm and all were safe and clean except the water, for “Doc Withycombe left his shoes in the depths some ten feet below. By five, Mr. Gould, the chaperon, and his frolicsome wards began the homeward journey with happy thoughts and wholesome cheer. The enterprise had been completely successful and sad was the thought that the elevens would never again assemble for such a glorious lark. 356 STUDENT PAGEANTS DURING THE QUARTKR-CEXTEXXIAI. SUMMER SCHOOL SCENES. THE MOCK LEGISLATURE HBOUT (hr lime flic Oregon State Legislature convened for the regular session in 190S several prominent men of the class of 1908 conceived the idea of organizing a Mock Legislature at (). A. C. In order to give the members of the literary societies to whom membership was then limited, a practical knowledge of the methods and procedure of the state law-making body. To Herbert Cooke may well be given the credit of originating the Mock Legislature. However, P. H. Cale, I. E. Kerr and a few others also deserve much credit for helping the good work along. H. E. Cooke was chosen the first Speaker of the House, into which the Legislature organized, with Dean Bexell as Governor. Committees were appointed, bills introduced and in fact the entire procedure was carried on the same as in the House at Salem, with the exception of a few details which were impractical here. The l.gislature adjourned late in the spring and before closing passed a resolution which permitted not only members of the literary societies, but members of the Senior, Junior and Sophomore classes. In accordance with the founders’ plans, the Mock Legislature again convened this year at the time the State Legislature met. Men representing every county in the state met and soon the Republicans, Democrats and Independents were organized. After a hot fight the Republicans succeeded in electing C. L. Jamison as Speaker. The Republicans also succeeded in electing J. B. Fairchild calender clerk, while the Democrats filled the offices of chief clerk and reading clerk respectively with V. E. Morris and G. E. Chapman. Having had two years’ experience, Dean Bexell was re-elected Governor of Oregon on the Socialist ticket. Speaker Jamison soon had the House transformed into a powerful machine which was to shape thf destiny of the people of Oregon for the next two years. Many bills of vital importance were introduced and discussions waged warm. Among the most important bills was the one calling for the changing of the name Oregon Agricultural College to Oregon State College, and the famous women suffrage hill, which stunned the House into confusion at every discussion and through filibustering on the part of the Democrats and a few stand patters” was never brought to a vote.

The entire program will he related this evening and another large crowd is expected to attend. Many people front neighboring cities visited the campus last night. A special train from Albany hrought a large delegation from the Hub City, lnit the entire surrounding community was well represented. Nearly 75 exhibits were presented, which occupied the attention of the visitors until a late hour, the Curtis biplane, owned by |)r. Scovil and Hoyt, of Salem, being the center of attraction. The displays by the various department, the X-ray, high tension transformer, the Wcstinghousc exhibit, the moving pictures and Irish songs all came in for their share of attention. The big aeroplane was especially interesting as few people of this vicinity had ever had the opportunity of seeing one of the big flying machines which have proved so successful in America. The propeller, driven hy a cylinder engine, set up a current of air that resembled a small cyclone, and illustrated the terrific air pressure necessary to propel a machine of this type. The X-ray, operated by l)r. Weniger, of the Physics Department, was another great curiosity to many of the sightseers, as the exhibition afforded a means of explaining the method of operation and the adoption of this most useful invention. The booths occupied by the electrical manufacturing companies were tastefully decorated and were complete with useful appliances from an electric iron to a vacuum cleaner. The wireless outfit on exhibition was one constructed and at present operated by a student of the college. It is capable of receiving and sending messages as far as many of the commercial sets. The high current transformer built last year by two students yields a voltage of 150,000. which is sufficient to furnish sparks many inches in length and the discharge resembles the report of a gun. Many other instructive exhibits arc on display and all who attended have commended the engineering students upon the success of the show. FRESHMAN PARTY One of the most brilliant social functions of the school year was the Freshman party on April 8th. The gymnasium was tastefully decorated with green fir boughs and blue and gray crcpc paper with an attractive coxy corner and novel refreshment booths. A large '14 was arranged in electric lights, which threw a beautiful subdued glow over the whole room and added to the picturesqueness of the scene. The programme, presented by the memhers of the Freshman class, with President V. J. Kerr, Prof. J. H. Horner, Major U. G. McAlcxandcr and I.arry Keen as representatives of the faculty and student liody. was much enjoyed by all. After the programme refreshments were served, consisting of ice cream, wafers and punch. The rest of the evening was devoted to dancing.

THE MID-WINTER FAIR IIE mid-winter fair, which was planned and successfully staged by the Agricultural M and Domestic Science and Art Departments, was one of the most pleasing and in- structivc events occuring during the college year. The Agronomy Department showed a great variety of grains, seeds, soils and soil analvsis and seed testing experiments. Some of the larges: bacteria in captivity were also shown. The Animal Husbandry Department was represented with a display of small livestock, and in addition showed a number of samples of wool and woollen products. The Horticultural Department had on display many different varieties of apples, along with tools, necessary apparatus and garden implements. In the Zoology and Botany Departments great collections of mounted specimens and many other things of interest were shown. The dairymen demonstrated many modern creamery methods and dairying apparatus. The Floriculture Department's room was tastefully decorated and arranged, proving to be one of the most popular divisions of the fair. The wo xl working display of form structures of various sizes and shapes, which was made entirely by the Agricultural freshmen, received much favorable comment. The Domestic Science and Art Department was far from being outdone by the Agricultural departments; in fact, its part was one of the main features of the fair. The results of the department's work were displayed and sold in a number of booths and rooms, which were decorated and designed to represent foreign lands, while the young ladies in attendance were dressed in accordance with the customs of the country represented. Articles in basketry could be obtained in the Indian wigwam; tea, in the beautifully decorated Japanese tea parlors; ice cream, at the North Pole; Turkish delight, at the Turkish booth; anything in the apple line, at the apple booth; hot tamales, at the Spanish booth; and so on down the line through the land of Holland, Germany, France, Scotland, Sweden and Ireland, anything that the heart could desire could be obtained. The would-be farmer, his wife and all of the children, the short man, the tall man, the fat man and a number of other features added to the variety of the amusement. The famous Domestic Science Military Band, attired in appropriate uniforms and using various household utensils for instruments, made their first appearance west of the Rocky Mountains, and created the sensation of the evening by passing, with their tall drum major in the lead, several times up and down the corridors of the Agricultural Hall. Although the first of its kind at O. A. C. the fair was a success in every sense of the word, and will no doubt become an annual event in future years. 362 CANOE SCENES DEDICATION OF THE HAND STAND.

Everything progressed nicely, Mr. Lemon was securing the desired information, except one thing, that which suddenly happened. Mrs. Kidcr, sly as a fox. came dashing around the corner of a stack, and what did she behold! Oh, horrors, could it be true! A second look proved it so; she nearly collapsed, but recovered to find a young lady of this great and magnificent institution holding the hand of one of the most popular young men of the College; and in the sacred aisles of the Library, too. Our dear Librarian then proceeded to give Mademoiselle Ora Weaver one of her popular free moral lectures, and to Mr. Lemon said: Sir.
