The design of establishing a permanent institution of learning in the Wabash Valley was first formed by those who traversed its ear- liest settlements as missionaries; and the wisdom of this design was rendered obvious by the unparalleled rapidity of its settlement, in connection with the vastness of its prospective resources. And who have brought honor to her name, from the day of Caleb Mills to that of Professor Capy and Bortor Mackintosh, this book is Dedicated with reverence and af- fertion Paye Five One earliest to agitate this subject was the Rev. James Thomson, who settled at Crawfordsville in November, 1827. He, and others con- nected with the Crawfordsville Presbytery, then embracing most of the upper Wabash country, often spoke to each other of the importance of a timely effort to plant an institution of learning, under good re- ligious influence, and after the model of those planted by the fathers, in the older portions of our country.

After he had indicated on a map | the Wabash territory in Indiana and told briefly of the education, civilization, | and religious possibilities of this new part of the United States, with no more ado he said to the pastor, ““We want a college building, and more than all, a college head. Will you, my dear sir, come and help us? Will you be our first head?” The stranger was Professor Hovey, one of the founders of Wabash College, and the New York pastor was Dr. Baldwin, first President of Wabash. President Baldwin was a self-made man, the product of a deeply religious New England home. He was born December 25, 1789. He developed early a fondness for books, in which the village pastor helped him. In 1807 he en- tered Yale College, where he received a religious awakening under the influ- ence of President Dwight. Due to the need to make his own expenses he at- tended college intermittently, though he lost only one year in remaining out to ) work. After graduation from Yale in 1807 he became principal of Fairfield Academy. In 1814 Mr. Baldwin entered Andover Theological Seminary for the three vears of preparation for his chosen profession, the ministry. — In 1817 he was ready to begin his life work. He was appointed to home missionary work in a poor section of New York. For seventeen years he built Rear his church, from nothing to an immense institution for those days. The call to eae serve God again sounded to Baldwin, and so he gave up his prosperous church, He forsook his pleasant life and friends, and prepared to do service in the West. In 1834 he came to Indiana. re a a aa ale ax = a Mnchiy de was ready in about half a year to leave for his new work. First he | solicited funds for the college, and his success amounted to $28,000. In the Hy peta fall of 1835 he began his duties as first president of Wabash. President Bald- ta Y H win’s administration was concerned mainly with getting the college started.

He returned home ill, and the college opened in the fall without him. meant He died shortly after the opening of the school year, 1840, with the words, so | | 4 eee ; . . “- . . . . ri 4 “= fitting to his life, in which he instructed his students, “Tell them to seek first td tad the kingdom of God.” Vw 3 we Page Ten LEN ANSE EIN I ETT. 3 rosmreien The deliberations of this meeting resulted in the unanimous reso- lution that efforts should be made without delay, to establish an insti- tution of learning, in connection with manual labor. LOCATION In fixing upon the location for the College, no selfish or mercenary considerations were allowed to have influence. The simple question, how will the public good, in connection with the enterprise contem- plated, be best promoted? was the only one to be answered. nL ae, ASIC BSTL ET Its central position, healthfulness, facilities of access, while re- tired from the then prospective great commercial centres of the land, in the estimation of those present, as also others consulted upon the subject, rendered Crawfordsville, above others, decidedly the most desirable location. At that time there was no literary institution, ei- ther located or projected, in this State, north of Bloomington, and of course it was thought that the interests of this enterprise would not interfere with any other. — Charles White, B B. 1841-1861 The second president of Wabash College was a proud descendant of a pilgrim family that came to America on the Mayflower. Dr. White was born in Randolph, Massachusetts, on December 28, 1795. In keeping with the New England tradition his parents lived by a pious, religious faith so common in those days. Because of the death of his father when he was two yenrs old, his mother exerted the chief influence on his youth. By 1817 White had fitted himself for college. He went immediately to Dartmouth College and was gradu- ated with highest honors four years later. Refusing to accept a tutorship in Dartmouth, he went to pursue his studies at Andover Theological Seminary. a ccna Illness forced him to go south for a year, but he completed his preparation for the ministry in 1824. From 1825, the year in which he was married, until 1841, Dr. White per- formed successfully the duties of a pastor, first as a colleague in the Congre- gational Church of Thetford, Connecticut, and after four years there, as minis- : ter of the Presbyterian Church in Cazenovia, New York. Whence he went to Bidee: a pastorate in Oswego, New York, where he remained until he became presi- | EES dent of Wabash College after the death of President Baldwin. Dr. White had ets been given the Doctor of Divinity degree by Union College, New York, in mi gees 1840. He was president of Wabash College until his death in [861. Aside from oe his religious and academic successes, it is interesting to note that Dr. White de- Le | voted much time to his large family of ten children. In 1861, one year after the bee | death of his wife, when Dr. White was apparently in the best of health, he was stricken suddenly by a fatal illness. Pid ba Dr. White was both a thinker and a master of expression. His frequent A ea sermons were models of clarity and graceful expression, the results of thorough Bitiay preparation. His writings, it is said, were almost perfect in form and in nicety rf of phraseology. With firmness and foresight he directed the affairs of Wabash College. Undoubtedly the words describing him in ‘The History of Mont- gomery County” speak truth when they say, “He was the highest style of a Christian Scholar.” Paye Twelve A Committee, to act temporarily as Trustees of the Institution, was appointed at this meeting, consisting of the following individuals, viz.: Hon. Williamson Dunn, Rev. Messrs. Edmund O. Hovey, James Thomson, James A. Carnahan, John S. Thomson, Martin M. Post, Samuel G. Lowry, and John Gilliland, E'sq. A public meeting of the citizens of Crawfordsville and vicinity was called, and the subject of the new institution presented to them on the 22d of November. The movements of the previous meeting were From the Portrait by Lucile Stevenson Dalrymple approved, and a liberal subscription was commenced to carry forward the enterprise. A tract of fifteen acres of land was presented by Hon. Williamson Dunn, upon which, the Trustees having selected the site for a building, in the forest, in the midst of nature’s unbroken loveliness, consecrated this enterprise for the furtherance of virtue and knowledge among mankind, to God, and solemnly invoked upon it the Divine Blessing. fs I My ggrmeneremry Sosa a ah BRON Farrand Cuttle, 2.B., LL. B. 18h2-1892 The third president of Wabash, Dr. Joseph F. Tuttle, took official charge in May, 1862. He came just before the Civil War at a time when the college was suffering serious financial difficulties. Despite the loss of many students due to the war Wabash prospered during his thirty years of administration, so that when he died the college had an endowment fund of $500,000 and was enjoying a high reputation among the colleges of the middle west. Dr. Tuttle was born in Bloomfield, N. J., March 12, 1818, the son of a pastor. His early education was received in the schools of Newark, which he left at the age of fourteen to go to work on his uncle’s farm in Ohio. He spent four years on the farm, and liked farming so well that he had practically decided to make it his life work. One day when he was eighteen years old one o f his brothers who had graduated from Princeton came to visit him, and Dr. Tuttle was so charmed by the intellectual superiority of his brother that he decided to go to college himself. In 1836 he began his studies at Marietta College, from which he graduated with highest honors in 1841. He began his theological studies the same year at Lane Seminary under Dr. Lyman Beecher. Three years later he was licensed as a Presbyterian minister. Dr. Tuttle began his career as a minister in Delaware, Ohio, where he remained only until 1847. At that time he accepted a call to the church of his wife’s father in Rockaway, N. J. Here he worked for fifteen years until he became president of Wabash. His church grew; he acquired an increasing experience of life; and he made a name for himself in both the religious and secular world by his numerous contributions to magazines and by the publi- cation of several books. Two years before he assumed his duties at Wabash he was given the honorary degree of Doctor of Divinity by his alma mater, Marietta College. From Rockaway, Dr. Tuttle came to the presidency of Wabash College, where he remained until his death. The school prospered. He was accorded two more honors in the years 1884 and 1885 when he was made a member of the “Societv of Cincinnatus” and was given the Doctor of Laws degree by Marietta College. In 1892 he retired from active participation in the work of the college, though he continued to conduct the Monday morning chapel exercises almost until his death, Tune 8, 1901. Page Fourteen The contrast between the settlement of our own great Western domain, and the early settlements of New England and Virginia, is very wide. The latter were effected only by slow degrees, their growth was very gradual; the former especially of the newer States, has been, with a rush and rapidity unknown in the history of emigra- tion. Hfforts to plant and sustain institutions of learning and religion were demanded in a corresponding ratio. From the Portrait by Lucile Stevenson Dalrymple The prime movers in this new enterprise were fully aware it would require not only present immediate effort, but continued perse- vering, untiring exertions. That the means requisite to carry it for- ward would be very considerable, even in its incipient stages. But they adopted as their motto the noble sentiment of the venerated Carey, “What ought to be done, can be done’. Having settled the question that the interests of neligion and the general good of the country demanded an Institution of the kind, they fully believed that George Stockton Burroughs, 0.0., LL. B. 1892-1899 Like many of the men who had come to serve Wabash, President Bur- roughs came from the East. He was born in Waterloo, New York, of solid : ; | English stock. His youth was spent in Brooklyn and Philadelphia. At the | age of eighteen he graduated from Princeton College with highest honors. tL In 1877 he graduated from Princeton Theological Seminary. Princeton later —————+-__ om gave him two degrees, one in 1883, Doctor of Philosophy for his semitic ue i studies, and the other in 1887, Doctor of Divinity. After graduation he ac- pee cepted a pastorate at Slatington, Pennsylvania. From here he went to Con- necticut where he spent four years at Fairfield and three at New Britain. Next he spent six years as pastor of the College Church at Amherst. While “2s at Amherst, in September, 1892, he received the offer to become president of ) Wabash College. His administration at Wabash was doomed to trouble, though it began auspiciously enough. He worked hard and took part in everything. He was pleasant and easy to approach, always the genial gentleman. For four years Wabash progressed continually. The faculty was enthusiastic. Then a period | set in, when, due to uncontrollable circumstances, almost everything in the school seemed to go wrong. Finances went wrong; enrollment dropped ; activi- ties were not supported and a cynical attitude was apparent throughout the ! school. During this time came the struggle over co-education, which was fi- ) nally settled in 1899 with a decision of the trustees against it. Despite the trouble of the administration, the scholastic standing of the college remained high, and there was perhaps more genuine scholarship during these years than ever before. In 1899 Wabash was granted a chapter of Phi Beta Kappa, the forty-second chapter of the fraternity. a SR a A ah SINR EI i i Because of the difficulties the President received much censure, and so he quietly handed in his resignation in June, 1899. From Wabash he went to Oberlin College as Professor of Old Testament Language and Literature. | Two years later he was attacked by a bone disease. First one arm broke and had to be amputated, and then a like misfortune befell the other. At the com- kee paratively youthful age of forty-four, he died—October 22, 1901. bY wah Enh hI LL Li A ITI i | | | ' 2a Page Sixteen me ae |b ] Are eecrsreamea Pan % . PE eESES the means could be procured. At their second meeting, January, 1833, it was resolved to take immediate measures to erect a building upon the site presented by Judge Dunn. This building was designed to be occupied as a boarding house for the Teachers and Students, and to afford accommodations for a Preparatory Depargment, and Teach- er’s Seminary. Its dimensions were forty by thirty feet, three sto- ries.

The heavy forest was to be removed, materials for building to be obtained under serious disadvantages and at heavy expense. But with their motto before them, they went forward, and in December, 1832, had the building nearly completed. PREPARATORY DEPARTMENT OPENED. In the meanwhile extensive correspondence was held with the William Patterson Kane, 2B., LL. B. 1895-1906 In 1899 Dr. IKkane became president of Wabash, for which he was des- tined to do much during his brief, seven-year administration. While he was president Wabash grew in size and prestige. He developed the “Wabash Plan” which emphasized the place of the small college in the life of the na- tion. This plan was widely adopted and secured recognition for Wabash throughout the educational world. He fostered activities on the campus. He created a spirit of genuine fellowship and love for Wabash in the hearts of all who attended the school. His death cut short even greater plans for the col- lege he loved. Dr. Kane was born in Carroll County, Ohio, April 13, 1847. For his early education he attended the common schools and Oakdale Academy near Pitts- burgh. Then he went to the Iron City Business College, from which he gradu- ated with the intention of entering the business world. He was not, however, satisfied with his education, so he went to Monmouth College in Illinois. Here he was converted and decided to become a minister in the United Presbyterian Church. While he was preparing for the ministry, he taught school at Ida- ville, Indiana, where he was an unusually successful teacher. From there he entered the United Presbyterian Seminary at Xenia, Ohio. Later he changed to the Seminary at Newbury, N. Y., from which he graduated in 1872. For twelve years, until 1884, Dr. Kane was pastor in Argyle, N. Y. Then he accepted a call to the Second Presbyterian Church of Lafayette, Indiana. Though the church was in difficulties at the time he took over the pastorate, he soon built up one of the strongest churches in Indiana. Early in his stay at Lafayette he became interested in Wabash College, from which he received a Doctor of Divinity degree in 1887. In 1889 he was elected to the board of directors, and a few years later he became president of the board. Upon the death of Dr. Tuttle in 1892 he was asked to become president of Wabash, but his congregation in Bloomington, Illinois, where he had gone just two months before, refused to allow him to resign. However, when Dr. Burroughs re- signed the presidency in 1899, he was again offered it, and this time he ac- cepted.

An im- portant question was to be settled in the appotntment of the first Teacher. After much deliberation, the action of the Board resulted in the appointment of Mr. Caleb Mills, then a Theological Student at Andover, Mass., as the Principal of the Preparatory Department and Teacher’s Seminary. Mr. Mills had been favonably known to some members of the Board as ardently devoted to the cause of Christian education, and one well fitted in moral qualities, and by extended and pane PES WE a, } 4( 3 | Fe |} —_ - einen SE AY ss = See eee ; J ee ee , , = arte a oe ead ee on Zs és . at ae fs MEE r 7 fo Me a f- lf From the Portrait by Lucile Stevenson Dalrymple thorough mental training for the responsible duties involved in the ap- pointment. Besides, by traveling extensively in the West, he had be- come acquainted with western mind and society. With these favorable circumstances Mr. Mills entered upon his la- bors, and opened the school under the title of the Crawfordsville Eng- lish and Classical High School, on Monday, the third of December, 1833, with twelve Students. EEE EEE George Lewes Mackintosh, 0.B., LL.B. 1908-1926 Dr. Mackintosh was born in Nova Scotia, January 1, 1860 and came west to study at Wabash during the 1870’s. While at college his interests were chiefly academic though he found time to participate considerably in oratory. He graduated from Wabash in 1884. After receiving his masters degree in 1887 Dr. Mackintosh entered the Lane Theological Seminary in Cincinnati, Ohio to study for the ministry. In 1889 he was ordained in the Presbyterian Church and received his first charge in Indianapolis two years later, where he served until 1907. His first official connection with Wabash College after his graduation came in 1897 when he was elected a member of the board of trustees. Six years later in 1903 he began to teach part time. From then on his connection with the college strengthened rapidly. Two years later he was teaching full time, and in 1906 upon the ill- ness of President Kane he was appointed acting president. The following April Dr. Mackintosh was inaugurated as president. During his administration Wabash prospered. It had many difficulties to overcome, especially during the World War. Despite these handicaps Dr. Mackintosh left the college with an endowment fund three hundred per cent. larger than that which it had when he assumed charge. Substantial subscrip- tions were obtained from the Rockefeller Foundation and the general board of education of the Presbyterian Church. Dr. Mackintosh was known through- out the state, partly from his long pastorate in Indianapolis and partly as a result of his speaking tours to interest all Indiana in Wabash. He was a strict classicist and so kept the traditional liberal arts character of the college in- tact. In 1903 he received the Docter of Divinity degree from Wooster College and in 1908 that of Doctor of Laws from Hanover. He was forced to retire from the presidency in 1926 on account of ill health and spent the years until his death living near the campus he had known most of his life. Upon his death, February 28, 1932, President Hopkins characterized him as a man of “daring intellect, a delightful sense of humor, and high scholarly attainment, a man of great faith and great works.” Page Twenty SGLIENTIAR ET AVIkT Ole To Science and Virtue. Such was the early and sincere dedication of this Institution. While its Trustees and patrons disclaim sectarian and party motives, they have ever avowed it as a leading object to pro- mote True Religion, as well as sound learning. Indeed they fully be- l’eve that the interests of sound learning can not be effectually pro- moted without the aid and sanctions of the Christian religion. And it is matter of grateful recollection that, of the twelve stu- (eT AZD BIT BIS Sipe - POPE ae MNS OIE TE nL Sm OO tne From the Portrat by Lucile Stevenson Dalrymple dents first enrolled as members of the Institution, nine were pro- fessedly and hopefully Christians. And the subsequent history, down to the present time, will show that this important element has been constant, active, effective. In January, 1834, application was made to the State Legislature for a charter, which was granted, under the name of “Wabash Manual Labor College and Teacher’s Seminary”. The trustees were not among those who vainly hoped that Manual Labor was to supvort the EE Louis Beriram Hopkins, A.A, LAB. 1926- The Wabash College educational plan, which was established soon after the beginning of the administration of President Louis B. Hopkins, reaches the conclusion of its first four year cycle with the graduation of the Class of 1932. It has as its ultimate goal the highest possible development of the in- dividual student, so that he will be better able to accept and to fulfill his social obligations after four years of study at Wabash. The program of emphasis on the individual student involves the selection of a particular type of student; the securing of the intelligent, sympathetic, and whole-hearted support of the faculty; the adoption of a well-balanced and unified curriculum; and the harmonizing of all student activities, athletic as well as non-athletic, with the rest of the plan. President Hopkins, who was born in Hopkinton, New Hampshire, at- tended the Coburn Classical Institute, being graduated in 1904, and Dartmouth Colleze. from which he received in 1925 th e Master of Arts degree. Recently, he has been given the degree of Doctor of Laws from Marietta College and from DePauw University. For approximately twenty years before his inaugu- ration as president of Wabash in 1926, he was engaged in personnel work in industry and in education. During the War he was Director of the Trade Test Division of the Committee on Classification of Personnel in the United States Army. From that time until 1922 he was a consultant in personnel and or- ganization for industrial and commercial companies. In 1919 he lectured for a year at the Wharton School of Finance and Commerce of the University of Pennsylvania. During that and the following year he was a lecturer at the Tuck School of Administration and Finance of Dartmouth College. His sub- jects were economics and labor relations during both these engagements. Dr. Hopkins came to Wabash from Northwestern University, and was inaugurated on Founders’ Day, 1926. He is a member of Delta Kappa Epsilon, the Per- sonnel Research Federation, and the University and the OQuiatenon clubs. At present he is serving on two national committees, as a member of the Com- mittee on Personnel of the American Council on Education, and as personnel director of the Executive Committee of the National Young Mens’ Christian Association.

Because of this fagt the past assumes greater importance, and the future demands more than usual consideration both in our thoughts and plans for the College. Of more immediate concern, however, than either past or future is the present. If now we are working effectively, if now we are planning Wisely, if this year's accomplishments are commendable, we can at least take heart. This annual record of the year's accomplishments seems to me to indicate that we are gaining in momen- tum as we pass the century mark and to give real prom- ise for the future. -The students have had a very con- siderable part in these accomplishments. This is es- pecially true of the senior class. It is to them in particular that I extend these greetings and offer my sincere congratulations and personal regards. papel es Page Twenty-four name, was, and continues to be one of prime importan ce in our esti- mation. In giving an impartial history of the College, perhaps it should not be omitted to state that, liberal and philanthropic as were the aims of its early friends, the charter was not obtained without serious op- position. But it is believed that those who memorialized against us were influenced by a misapprehension of our motives, and the real ob- ject of the enterprise, and that they have long since seen good reason a SaeabeDeeinee eaten rink i, enas bhestceaeinaenae antieataaandadinenctaaanamie nie eee LM ee a SAS vena ae Stee ean nemes SES ee rs peter er it So Dartmouth College, A.

FIRST PERMANENT BUILDING Early in 1835, the Trustees having made arrangements for the erection of a permanent building, the question of location was again | agitated. The site presented by Judge Dunn, although retired and pos- sessing several other advantages, was not considered the most eligt- | ble. They therefore purchased of Maj.

They thus secured ample grounds for a college campus and a very beautiful site for the buildings, at a convenient distance from town, and yet sufficiently retired from the business part of it. A contract for the erection of a building was closed on the 7th of June, 1835.

The number of Students increased. The enterprise was looked upon with much favor by the intelligent public. The expectations raised in the minds of the Trustees and friends of the College, by the highly flattering recommendations of Mr. Bald- win, which accompanied his nomination to the Board and secured his election, were more than realized, upon a personal acquaintance with his excellent qualifications for his arduous and important station. He was found apt to teach, ready to labor, willing to suffer hardships ina new country, for the advancement of the cause of truth and sound learning. There was the utmost harmony of views between him, his associ- ates in instruction, and the Trustees, in respect to the character which the Institution ought to assume. Their object was to lay the founda- tions of an Institution, which, in its course of mstruction and thor- ough menta l training, should compare favorably, even in its infancy, Vit a ec pa RS hath ia le SS Rel Me Tipton, Nusbaum, Swails, Plummer, Weikel, Mann, Holbrook.

Here it is provided that the membership shall consist of four independent men and one representative from each of the fraternities, each choosing his own successor, subject to the approval of the group. The duties outlined by the constitution are those of maintaining student dis- cipline, apportioning the student budget, and officially representing the student body before the faculty and the administration.

PRESIDENT BALDWIN’S INAUGURATION The formal inauguration of Dr. Baldwin took place at the close of the collegiate year, July 13, 1836.

They are docile and gentlemanly.” The Wabash Magazine, 1860. “Once a Wabash man always a Wabash man,” the saying goes, and it is almost literal truth. Wabash men have ever made loyal alumni in whatever held of activity they have entered after leaving college. Many who never finished their four years have shown, nevertheless, their loyalty, their love of the Scarlet’s song, just as well as those who wore the Wabash gown. And so it is that we write these paragraphs not only for the graduate alumni of Wabash but for all those who have been Wabash men. The number of yearly graduates has increased with intermittent slumps or standstills. Statistics are not readily available for the years preceding 1882, but from then on we can watch the men leave Wabash with their enviable Page Forty-six tion, were by Rev. John Thomson, Se nior, by whom the high duties and solemn responsibilities of his office were appropriately set forth. In the inaugural address, which, through the press, has been widely circulated in the State, Dr. Baldwin ably discussed the subject of “Liberal Education’. In answer to the question, “What constitutes a Liberal Education?” after some few remarks upon physical educa- tion, he says, “‘In its application to mind, it comprises the develop- ment, right direction, and permanent discipline of all its powers.

Until 1890 the classes ranged from fifteen to twenty-one. 1890 reached a new peak with thirty- one, which was followed by a slump into the twenties again. Between the years 1891, and 1906 the graduating classes numbered from a low of twelve in 1902 to a high of twenty-three in 1903. Suddenly there was a sharp increase in 1906 when fourty-three received their diplomas. From that year the classes have increased slowly, except during the year 1918 when the United States was in the World War. That year the graduating class dropped to twenty- one. The high mark was reached in 1927 with a class of eighty-four. Again we hope to see slowly an increase in the numbers of men annually to join the ranks of Wabash men in the world. At present there are on record approximately four thousand five hun dred living Wabash men throughout the country. Indiana has more Wabash men than any other state with approximately sixteen hundred and fifty. West of Indiana the number of alumni is about eleven hundred and fifty including Page Forty-seven Bat pan cee ee gt ML EE LE OS! te ah cd PD OI Mee i CS FS hwo S re be thorough it must provide for their harmonious and efficient action, such a cultivation of the mind as not only developes and matures its different faculties in their natural proportions, but imparts to each the greater efficiency and perfection, and thus insures to man that self- control and use of his powers which constitute alike his advantage and his glory.” These views were sustained by an able defence of the Col- iegiate course of study, and particularly the study of the ancient classics. an nee ee ns item nl ee A ce, 3 ei Ret aR Act in nt en eee een en eco ee ns ENCE 2 TG TUT Nae Ma ARRAN Me ts 8 nn i So RE Ete SAO ORE aN tt cet saree eo - ee RR IE IE ERE Bieta plied LRA cL A aid Main a I.

More definite statistics are not available, but these show at least the general territory in which Wabash men are living today. But not only have the men of Wabash gone to many and varied sections of the United States, but they have entered also innumerable occupations. In its early days Wabash trained men primarily for the ministry, and the excep- tion was perhaps the man who did not enter the service of the church. Grad- ually there came a change in the activities which graduates sought until the exception today is the man who enters the ministry. All the activities of life call the sons of Wabash. Perhaps the preponderance now, if any profession Page Forty-eight In the conclusion of his address are the following pertinent, well- timed and liberal remarks: “With such views, fellow citizens, as have been presented I con- sented to commence my personal efforts and interests with your rising College. It is eminently, as I was given from the first to understand, the College of the people.

Especially has this been true during the past twenty years when hundreds of Wabash men have come under the kindly persuasive influence of the late Professor Tapy. Many others went on to law schools in various parts of the country and then on into valuable careers in the legal profession. Many, and perhaps in increasing numbers, have gone into business, some by choice, others to carry on a family tradition. Graduates of Wabash have found their life work in a multiplicity of occupations throughout the United States. Extraordinary and interesting vocations have also been within the scope of the efforts of our men. Some have turned to the stage, both as actors and as writers of plays. Some have been writers of no little importance in the field of the novel, with Lew Wallace and his Ben Hur as the most outstanding. Some have entered politics, and particularly in Indiana have been active in the gov- Page Forty-nine “With the most hearty approbation of these liberal principles, I shall devote myself to the instruction of the youth who are destined to act no secondary part in public and private life.

Still others have gone from the ministry to missionary work in strange and distant parts of the world. Most of us are familiar with the work of Wabash men now living, but our knowledge of many who have passed from the American scene is probably scanty. Let us then look back at a few representa- tive lives of older Wabash men. As we write these words, we cannot help but recall with sharp vividness the deaths during the current school year of those three great loves of Wabash: Dr. George L. Mackintosh, Theodore H.

Among the lawyers that have won honor perhaps the name of Thomas R. Marshall stands preemin- ent. His was a fame not so much alone in law as in affairs of state, as governor of Indiana and vice-presi- dent of the United States. In addition to these accom- plishments Marshall was a speaker and writer of more than average ability. Theodore Ristine and many others belong to the group of men who entered law for their profession. Wabash men have also served their country away from home as minis- ters to foreign lands. General Lew Wallace, whose versatility knew almost no bounds, was minister to Turkey. Several others were ambassadors to South American countries: Flynn Stutesman to Bolivia, Charles S. Hartman to Ecuador, and B. W. Hanna to the Argentine Republic. Another group of alumni have gone into foreign lands not as ambassadors of the United States but as ministers of religion.

But all of this was impossible. We look upon ourselves as pioneers in gleaning details of Wabash alumni for yearbook pub- lication, and so we trust that our early attempts will not be judged too criti- intent but rather because we cally. If we have made omissions, it is not by have tried merely to give a picture of the whole work of Wabash men without calling particular attention to the worth- ily outstanding achievements of any one individual. It is our hope that these lines may stimulate in older Wabash men pleasant memories of some of their for- mer class-mates and in those of us who are soon to join the Wabash men of the world a feeling that we are part of a great and old tradition to which we must add our little bit.

With these views, prostrate before His throne, we sought God’s blessing upon our efforts to rebuild. We resolved to call a meeting of the citizens of Crawfordsville and vicinity, on Monday evening following, and make our first appeal to them. J.

On Monday, the spa- cious rooms in the 2d and 3d stories of ‘“‘Hanna’s building’’—then just completed, were rented by the Trustees, and on Tuesday, College duties were resumed; but one student left in consequence of the calam- ity.

The news of this calamity reached President Baldwin the very day he was to leave New York on his return to Crawfordsville. He had been repeatedly urged to return to the East to take charge of import- ant city congregations. A friend met him soon after this afflicting in- telligence, and said, “What think you now of Wabash College; will you not give it up?” “Oh, no!” was the reply, “there is only the more work to be done!”’ cae ee RALPH A.

He received their kind sympathies, and to some extent, renewed liberality, and after a few weeks delay returned to resume his labors in the College. The College building was yet in the hands of the contractor, when it was burnt; but as no blame was supposed to attach to him, in re- spect to the calamity, inasmuch as the tinning of the roof, (by which JOHN A. YEAGER JOHN M. KITCHEN KENNETH C.

A me- morial was presented to the Legislature, setting forth the means by which the Institution had been established, and thus far sustained, as also the calamity and loss by fire, with the petition for a loan of eight thousand dollars, for five years without interest, that we might go im- mediately forward with our building, and have time to realize from individual pledges, the amount requisite for our necessities.

Wilson, a student, wrote an article called “A Defense of Sophomores” for The Wabash Magazine. In view of the present situation, ' the conclusion might be drawn that the sophomore class constitutes a problem | which must be fought out in every generation. After having been relieved of their toques and pots, symbolizing subjec- tion, the sophomore class launched forth last September in their new-found freedom, with John G. Ackelmire, Vladimir Vojvodich, and Joseph A. Gilliland as class officers. The class was distinguished in campus activities, especially athletics.

The loan was accepted, as a dernier resort, and the legal estimates and securities given, with the hope however that they would be able to pay it, before they should be quite engulphed in the vortex of this exorbitant interest. How well founded this hope was, will appear in the sequel of our history. This however furnished us the means to prosecute our rebuilding with great despatch, as also to sustain the ordinary interests and credit of the Institution. The work was pros- ecuted with great vigor and success, so that within one year from the $$ rg POT PT EI PITT time of the fire, the building was almost as near its completion as it was when the fire occurred, and two divisions of it were ready for occupancy by the students. The internal affairs of the Institution moved on pleasantly and successfully. It should not be omitted to state, that the unhappy ec- clesiastical divisions and collisions in the West, had a tendency to diminish the patronage of the College, both in students and money.

After the commencement in 1839, at which the sec- ond class graduated, President Baldwin again visited the East. The motives for these frequent visits East were two—the promoting of his health, by avoiding the ill effects of the climate in the summer months; and the advancement of the interests of the College.

Class elections were held Thursday, Oct. 1, and the college year was thus formally launched. The new board of publications met for the first time Sept. 30, and plans were laid for the year. Marion Kirtley, 32, was elected the first chairmnn of the board. Results of the freshman honor scholarship examinations, announced Oct. 2, revealed that William Stephens, Victor Schwartz, Donald Visscher, Eugene Pancoke, and Richard Arbogast were to receive the awards. Stewart Tipton, ’32, and Hudson Sours, ’31, were selected by the Rhodes scholarship committee as Wabash’s candidates for the Rhodes scholarship award this year.

A luncheon for alumni and undergraduates was held at noon in the gym, with many reunions of former classmates being held before the football game. Wabash and Denison Uni- versity played a 0-0 tie, the feature of the homecoming. A dance sponsored by the “W” Men’s Club took place at the Masonic Temple in the evening. Announcement of a gift of $15,000 by the Carnegie Foundation for pur- chase of new books for the library was made by President Hopkins Oct. 19.

Theodore Harmon Ristine, whose connection with Wabash as a student, as a treasurer, and as a member of the Board of ‘Trustees covered almost sev- enty-five years, passed away at his home in Crawfordsville on Friday, Dec. 5. Mr. Ristine was born Jan. 8, 1845. He entered Wabash as a preparatory stu- dent in 1859, graduating in 1865. From the college he received the degree of Master of Arts in 1868 and the degree of Doctor of Laws in 1930. He was trustee of the college from 1883 to 1931, active treasurer 1891 to 1911, and treas- urer emeritus thereafter until his death. He was secretary of the Board of Trus- tees from 1904 until 1927. During his life he made several gifts to Wabash, one of which helped to make possible the new memorial chapel. He had an extensive Civil War record and spent several years as a member of the Senate of the State of Indiana. Tuesday night, Dec. 15 John M. Kitch- en won the Edgar H.

He had re- vised his speech, presenting an oration with a new title, “The Arm of the Law.” Doctor George Lewes Mackintosh, president emeritus of Wabash, died Monday evening, Feb. 29, at his home in Mills Place, following an illness that had lasted since December. He was the second prominent figure in Wabash life to pass away within three months. “Doc Mac” was born in Antogonish, Nova Scotia, on Jan. 1, 1860.

He later was graduated from Lane Theological Seminary at Cincinnati, and subse- quently received the degree of Doctor of Divinity from Wooster College in 1903 and the degree of Doctor of Laws from Hanover College in 1908. Or- dained by the Presbyterian ministry in 1889 and in 1891, Doctor Mackintosh became pastor of the Fourth church of Indianapolis. He instructed classes in Wabash from 1905 to 1907, carrying on his work in the Indianapolis church at the same time. Then, on April 1, 1907, came his inauguration as president of the college, succeeding Dr. William Patterson Kane. He held the office of president until 1926, when he resigned because of failing health. While in college, he gained fame as an orator, winning the Baldwin and state oratorical contests and placing second in the interstate contest. In 1928 he polled a large number of votes in his campaign as Democratic nominee for representative in Congress from the Ninth District. The death of Dr. Mackintosh was a severe shock to thousands of friends. His ability as an educator was attested by the many honors heaped upon him, while the friendship he showed students and acquaintances won him wide respect. The annual Mills Lecture was given Thursday, March 17, by the Reverend Charles W. Gilkey, Chaplain of the University of Chicago and one of the most highly respected theologians in the country.

President Baldwin's last duty, performed in immediate connection with the College, was his address to the graduating class, at the com- mencement in July, 1840. He commenced hy saying: “The parting counsel of friends is commonly held in grateful remembrance.” It was far from the thoughts of those who then heard him that those were indeed to be his parting words, not to the class merely, but to the Institution itself over which he had so ably presided for five years, in its prosperity and in its adversity.

He was one of the outstanding authorities of the Middle West on psychology and education, departments which he headed in Wabash for nearly twenty-five years. Professor ‘Tapy was born in Poland, Indiana, Dec. 26, 1869.

HT Be U, | U [see res — Under Dr. Baldwin's Presidency the College had experienced great prosperity, and one severe calamity. In both its prosperity and its adversity, he had conducted its interest, so far as they fell under his direction, with ability, and to the entire satisfaction of the Trustees and patrons of the College, and they had counted on long years of his continued and increased usefulness to the Insti- tution, as well as to the general cause of sound learning and true re- ligion. But his Divine Master chose to remove him to His Upper Kingdom. } BOLO crereceumpiapaanngtc ne oo PLUMMER V. VOJVODICH WHEATON VINROOT 13 to 5.

Entire confi- dence was expressed by the Trustees and friends of the Institution, in the abilities of the Professors to conduct its interests during the vacan- cy. Yet all felt that the College had sustained a great loss, and it was t he more severely felt from the fact that the Institution had not fully SS acti: Sere a ST Sr a TR TO Ste ee ONO.

Three of the four Franklin touchdowns came indirect- emerged from the embarrassments arising from the calamity by fire. The remaining officers of College, three in number, felt that a vast responsibility rested upon them, and under this responsibility they received the cordial support of the Trustees, and the warm sympa- thies of a friendly public. APPOINTMENT OF THE SECOND PRESIDENT AND CHANGE IN PROFESSORSHIPS Anxious thought was soon turned to the question of a successor in the Presidency of the College. re ” semi SEs E: Radford, Mann, Sallak, Varner, Neal, Kutz, Robbins, S$.

The Baptists led, 14 to 0, at the half, but Wabash came back strong to count its two touchdowns in the two final periods. However, Franklin itself scored twice in the fourth quarter and the Little Giant threat was put down. Wabash, 0; Ohio Wesleyan, 60. Ohio Wesleyan found the Wabash line a tough nut to crack, but it passed and ran the ends until the Little Giants were dizzy when the two met at Dela- ware, O., November 14. The Bishops’ 60 to 0 victory marked the second top- heavy defeat Wabash had suffered by a Buckeye eleven. The Bishops count- ed twice in every quarter except the second, in which it ran the leather over the goal line three times. Wabash, 7; DePauw, 13. DePauw, defeated but once and highly-touted as a result of its record, found a savage, fighting crew of Little Giants to deal with when it arrived in Crawfordsville to end the season, and the Tigers were barely able to eke out a Page One Hundred Fourteen Upon this subject great solicitude was felt, both at home and abroad. The Trustees had frequent meetings for consultation, and opened a somewhat extensive correspondence with the patrons of the Institution. The Divine direction was earnestly sought. After very mature deliberation, and obtaining the advice of those able to judge, the selection from many individuals named settled upon the present incumbent by a unanimous vote of the Board, and the Rev.

Wabash led, 7 to 0, for almost three quarters as a result of a touch- down scored on a pass, Swartout to Smith, in the first period. But the Little Giants were unable to keep the much-publicized Don Wheaton of DePauw in check late in the game, although he failed to get away on any of his long hikes. Wheaton, in the dying minutes of the third period, 1 -aced twelve yards for De- Pauw’s first touchdow n, and he tossed a pass to Bradley for the second. Three victories, five defeats, and one scoreless tie were chalked up by the Little Giants during the 1931 football season. Competition was stiffer than it had been for several years, especially in Buckeye conference games. Wabash received crushing defeats at the hands of two Ohio elevens, Miami and Ohio Wesleyan, while its game with a third, Denison, ended in a 0 to 0 deadlock. The ‘best football of the year was played in the brilliant battle the Little Giants staged against DePauw in the final encounter.

The Little Giants chalked up but four victories in sixteen games. Letters were awarded the following: seniors—Bash, Caldwell, Browning, and Hinshaw; juniors-—Nelson, Smith and Harmon; sophomores—Fobes, Kniesley, and Riker. WABASH, 50 ROSE VOL yer The Little Giants showed surprising strength in their opening tilt of the season with Rose Poly. They drubbed the Engineers, 50 to 24, in a rough game after leading, 24 to 7, at the half. Fobes, with six field goals, led the of- fense, although all his mates played brilliantly. Hinshaw accomplished an un- usual feat in taking four long shots and scoring field goals on each of them. FRANKLIN, 34; WABASH, 23. The big Franklin team took the measure of Wabash in the second game, 34 to 23, after leading most of the way. Bash put Wabash ahead in the first few minutes, 2 to 1, but the Baptists took away the lead and were never head- ed afterwards. Wabash trailed 21 to 10, at the half. WITTENBERG, 23; WABASH, 19. Spurts in the late portions of the two halves enabled Wittenberg, Wabash’s first Buckeye conference basketball opponent, to defeat the Little Giants, 23 to 19. The score was tied, 10 to 10, at the end of the first half.

The Scarlet outscored the Redskins in field goals 11 to 10, but Miami's ability to cage eleven free throws while the Little Giants were sinking but six decided the game. A shift in lineup was tried with Riker going to back guard and Browning moving up to the center position. WITTENBERG, 35; WABASH, 17. Wittenberg showed new power and trounced the Little Giants, 35 to 17, in the first game of Wabash’s second two-day trip to Ohio. Wittenberg held a lead of only 12 to 10 at the half.

When the Bulldogs came here to close the season for the Little Giants, they found stronger opposition than when they met Wabash earlier in the sea- son.

SMITH PETERSON FARNEY BASEBALL, 1931 Harry Scholler’s last Wabash nine enjoyed one of the Scarlet’s most suc- cessful seasons in recent years, winning nine of twelve contests, the last eight of them in straight order. The only defeats were received at the hands of Wabash’s Big Ten conference foes, two by Indiana and one by Purdue. Only three ees of the 1931 team are not back on this year’s nine, Bill Chase, shortstop, Ham Kelley, outfielder, who this year 1s assisting Coach Lon Golds- berry by directing the freshman squad, and Leroy Larsh, lanky pitcher, who did not return to college this year. WABASH, 7; OHIO WESLEYAN, 3. After early season games with Indiana, Purdue, Ball State, and Indiana Central, Wabash gained a victory over Ohio Wesleyan, 7 to 3, its third straight win of the season. In an eighth inning spree, the Little Giants combined hits with their foes’ errors to run wild on the bases. The Scarlet connected for only seven hits off three Wesleyan hurlers, but they played four bobbles by the Buckeye team to good advantage. Page One Hundred Twenty-six authorized Professor Mills to make this one special object of his agency, and thus the whole amount of the “Stone Legacy” was replaced to the library in 1843; besides, his agency gave temporary relief to the Institution in its pecuniary embarrassments. Application was made to the Legislature for relief in respect to the debt of eight thousand dollars, by their excusing the College from the payment of interest for five years. This request was not granted, but a special act was passed, allowing the payment of interest to be { : . 4 fit POAT ratty: HAASE BURKHART WRONA RIKER WABASH, 14; DENISON, 7. The Little Giants kept their Buckeye conference slate clean by trouncing Denison, 14 to 7, in a hitting orgy. This was the second game played during a two-day trip to the Buckeye state. Scarlet sluggers connected for a total of four- teen hits during the encounter, Chase, leading hitter of the club, getting four safe blows in five times at bat. Each team made eight errors.

With Leroy Larsh pitching masterful ball and base hits ringing off the bats of the Little Giants, Wabash easily triumphed over Ball State, 14 to 3, in the season’s second game between the two. Larsh gave but seven hits and him- self connected for a home run in the eighth inning with one on base. Kelley also hit for a circuit, bringing in two ahead of him, The Scarlet hits totaled hfteen.

As a teacher, he was ever kind, faithful and efficient; as an as- sociate, counsellor, and friend, he was affectionate, judicious and safe. TY TRAN Cc ci igi Dn DA is Ct ne s r The unseasonably warm weather of March enticed numbers of Wabash golfers to the links of the Crawfordsville Country Club, and by the first of April progress toward the formation of a golf team was well under way. The choosing of the team this year was made difficult by the fact that all veterans of previous teams had been graduated, leaving nothing around which to build a new squad. After a seventy-two hole elimination contest, a squad of six was finally chosen from the new men. Among the survivors were Taylor, Taron, Meese, Browning, Rhodehamel, Squires, and O’Neal. This squad enjoyed special playing privileges at the local course. The 1932 schedule was a formidable one. A match was played at Indiana, whose team of last year boasted the runner-up in the Indiana State Amateur Championship and one or two other players of high ranking. Home and home matches were scheduled with DePauw, Illinois, and Indiana State College at Terre Haute. Entries were sent to the state intercollegiate tournament, held at Greencastle. This tournament has always been a bugbear to Wabash golfers, for on several occasions it has been lost on the last few holes by a margin of a stroke or two.

Despite the fact that veterans were entirely lacking on the golf team this year the showing of the squad was creditable. Several of the freshman links- men were promising, and this, coupled with the fact that golf is constantly becoming more popular at Wabash, should insure teams of high caliber in the next few years.

While at Miami, he was a member of Beta Theta Pi. Finding no fra- ternities at Wabash, he petitioned for the right to establish a new Beta chapter. This was granted, and on June 13, 1846, the Wabash chapter, Mu of Beta Theta Pi, was born. In the next two years it bore the names of Iota and Eta. In 1849 the chapter died, due to faculty opposition. It was secretly re- vived in October, 1856, by Milford B. Shipp, and named Tau. During the Civil War, the whole membership enrolled, the records being kept by Mrs. Jennie Blair, the mother of John A. Blair, who later became a trustee of the fraternity.

From the time of its founding at Wabash until February 27, 1863, Phi Delta Theta remained sub rosa due to strict college rulings against fraternities. On the above date, after the college bans on fraternities had been lifted, Phi Delta Theta and Beta Theta Pi, the only two fraternities at Wabash at the time, held a joint banquet in Calliopean Hall in celebration of their new free- dom.

Beta Psi of Delta Tau Delta is, like most of the other Wabash fraternities, Ay bay an outgrowth of a local, in this instance Alpha Sigma Pi, whose origin is not Hobe ES recorded. 4 Although the chapter was originally established in 1872, there was a period ae of inactivity, beginning in 1879, and ending September 11, 1894, from which date the chapter dates its history. The membership has always been small but relatively strong. Last autumn, the chapter moved into its new home on College Hill. Wabash College owes much to the seasonable aid derived from this source, in the time of her darkest struggles. One important requi- sition for receiving the patronage of the Society was, that the friends of education at the West should immediately put forth suitable efforts, not only to liquidate existing debts, but also to secure the necessary funds to place these institutions upon a permanent basis. } } RTT OT PL Ee epee ees me en pra ree ope 7 PTF BILTON I.

Aounrary Clubs Phi Beta Kappa The original Greek-letter society was Phi Beta Kappa, founded on Decem- of its life there it wrought out all the essential characteristics of such societies. It had its badge, its seal, its constitution, a token of salutation, and an elaborate form of initiation. During the first four years fifty men were brought into its Peed circle. It held meetings for social purposes, sponsored literary exercises, and | Hii ae regularly celebrated the anniversaries of its organization. This first period was 1 : ee oe brought to a close by the invasion of the British army, compelling the college | to suspend its activities, but the original records of the society are carefully preserved at the College of William and Mary in Williamsburg. Wa == —— The five founders of Phi Beta Kappa prepared a form of charter with a view toward expansion, hoping that some time their society would be extended throughout the United States. On December 4, 1779, the first charter was voted effective for Harvard College, and five days later a chapter was e stablished at Yale. Within a short time Dartmouth College also had a chapter of Phi Beta Kappa. No others were added until after the War of 1812. 3y 1825 the society had definitely begun to assume an honorary character, but it was not until fifty years later that it adopted the policy of electing stu- dents on the basis of their scholarship alone. Soon afterward, in 1883, Phi Beta Kappa chapters throughout the country bound themselves together in a na- tional organization, The United Chapters of Phi Beta Kappa. It was from the national council of this federation that, in 1899, a chapter at Wabash College received its charter as the Beta of Indiana, forty-second of one hundred and a4 | fourteen active chapters. Facer The Wabash chapter elects annually not more than one-sixth of the mem- ) bers of the class to be graduated. In addition, two juniors of high standing may be chosen. Guy A. Lee and J.

In the autumn of 1848, President White was invited to attend the annual meeting of the Society for the promotion of Theological and Collegiate Education at the West. He presented before the Society at New Haven, an able plea for Colleges at the West.

Since its beginning, twenty-four years ago, this society has become a national organization, with more than forty chapters located in all parts of the United States. The official publication is The Speaker of Tau Kappa Alpha, edited by J. Morris Edwards, Wabash ’23, one of the charter members of the local chapter of Pi Delta Epsilon. Members of Tau Kappa Alpha have represented the college in at least two debates or in one oratorical contest. New members initiated this year are Stuart G. Tipton, Ford Larrabee, J.

Since then more than forty- five chapters have been added. The night before the basketball game with DePauw in Crawfordsville, a mixer was held for the entire college and a motion picture was presented by Mr. Woods A. Caperton, Sr., of Indianapolis, whose son was president of the organization during the first semester. Members of Blue Key constructed the new basketball score-board under the direction of Professor George W. Horton. Lorentz H. Adolfson, Edwin R. Nelson, Stuart D. Smith, and Elmer C.

The library of more than four thousand volumes was crowded into a small room originally designed as a Stu- dents’ room. Several of the recitation rooms were equally limited, as, also, the Chemical room. The Chapel and Philosophical room were designed only as temporary provisions, and were both occupied as Society halls. Under these circumstances it was necessary to put forth efforts to enlarge our accommodations. The Trustees, therefore, sent out EARS LSTA TAA, |) US ETE!

JANUARY, 1857. set y ZAIN Eta VO 1. Leer ROD UCTOR Y. The Press is a mighty engine of power. Its eulogy need not be spoken. It is written in living characters upon every page of life, in all the great achievements of mind, in the continued advancement of civilization, and in all that tends to elevate the scale of human existence. When we consider the barriers to the extension of knowledge in the middle ages, we wonder not at their darkness. Blot out every printed page, and deprive us of the influence of the press, and what would be the con- dition of the present age? Darkness, more visible than that of Egypt would pervade the land. The most beautiful images of the soul would be tran- sient as acloud; and noble thoughts the offspring of mind, just struggling into life, would perish unrevealed and unuttered. Those mighty conceptions which have aroused slumbering in- tellects to action, and trains of thought, which in their progress have revolutionized and reconstructed society, would have re- mained undeveloped. Jeason would be shorn of its mighty power. Eloquence would fall from inspired lips unreported, and perish in the very hour of its birth. Poetry would find no safe depository for its beautiful imagery, no full response to its melo- dy; while imagination which ‘Bodies forth the forms of things unknown,” would droop upon its wings. But the press is no less powerful for evil, than for good. {iublirations ssh thy memati I. Lorentz, H. Adolfson, John M. Plummer, Kenneth C. Lovgren, Frank J. Horuff. II. W. C. Stephens, W. C.

The plan which the Faculty and Trustees are anaious to complete contemplates two wings to be attached to this building, each fifty by thirty-four feet, two stories.

Throughout the pages of this publication may be read the engrossing story of Wabash, a story marked with events that evidently seemed common- place at the time they were written, but that have since assumed serious proportions, for they signi- fied national problems which menaced the security of our college. We read that “nothing of startling importance occurred; no member astonished the world with a brilliant discovery. Abe Lincoln was inaugurated and the majority of the class rejoiced.” A little later it was written that “at the call of the President of the U. S. for troops to quell the in- surrection in the South, about thirty of the stu- dents enlisted in Captain Ike Elston’s Zouave Com- pany, which has joined the gallant Eleventh Regi- ment at Inaianapolis—Lew Wallace, Colonel.” Those who first wrote for The Wabash Maga- zine were often ponderous in style, but just as often they were militant, striking out like a lash against an evil. Their wit was ready. It was written that a senior class numbered nine, that the Muses were Page One Hundred Scventy-one REILY G. ADAMS Business Manager Chemical Hall, Laboratory and Cabinet. The central portion, nearly finished, will have cost twelve thousand dollars. The wings are esti- mated at four thousand dollars each. But the finances of the Board will not allow them to proceed further, till the liberal replenish the treasury. RESIGNATIONS AND APPOINTMENTS At the close of the Collegiate year, 1854, Prof. Twining tendered to the Board his resignation, which was accepted, with expressions of nine, and that “three of the number sport mustaches, two could if they wished, three have attempted and partially succeeded, while only one has made an out- right failure.” This last line might have been written about the Class of 1932, except that there has been more who have tried and have given up. Punning was tolerated in that day, even as it is in this. In some of the earlier issues there was a section called “Sanctum”, re- served for the editors, who might say anything they wished in those pages. This was an excellent custom which has, unfortunately, disappeared with the passing years. The table of contents of Number 1 of Volume I is as follows: [a Introductory | ae a American Poetry _ int | he Philosophy of Teaching WH PAAR The Statue of Franklin Palestine—A Poem Evils of Conservatism ' I'll Tell Thee, Mother Dearest—A Poem ; Hon.

In the autumn of 1854, Prof. Mills having been elected superin- tendent of Public Instruction resigned his Professorship, which he had so long and faithfully filled. At a special meeting in November, 1854, the Board elected to this professorship, having united with it the Ger- man, Rev. James D. Butler, of Cincinnati, who entered upon his office Che Bachelor, Che Press Club, and the Publications Board Under the new journalistic plan instigated this year by Pi Delta Epsilon, � The Bachelor has been most fortunate in having one of its record years during the 1931-32 academic period. Under the selective elimination process carried out by the Publications Board, members of the editorial and business staffs have functioned in full accord this year and have tried to present the readers of The Bachelor with a more nearly exact and interesting college newspaper. The administration of Ben J. Peck, business manager for both semesters, brought The Bachelor financial success throughout the entire year, and a greater volume of national and local advertising was secured than ever before. Among the changes adopted the first semester were an increase in the size of the paper from a five-column to a six-column sheet; a larger selection of features, including such columns as Parade, Wabash Week by Week, Grid Bits, and Cage Chatter; the division of pages so as to place general college news, athletics, and exchanges on separate pages; and fewer signed articles. An effort was made to create a more emphatic editorial policy. During the second semester James S. Harney was editor-in-chief, and in addition to carrying out plans initiated the previous semester, several other important changes were made. Intra-mural athletics were placed more in the limelight, and all-college intramural teams were selected by the editors and the sports staff. The format of the paper remained practically the same with the exception that a greater variety of heads was employed. The special editions published as memorials to Doctor Mackintosh and to Professor Tapy were especially praiseworthy. Along with The Bachelor should be mentioned the work of the Press (lub and of the Publications Board. THE PRESS CLUB During the first semester, the Press Club, of which Lovgren was president, held several meetings for discussion of the essentials of journalism. An earnest attempt was made to drill freshmen reporters on the ethics and practice of college journalism. Similar work was done in the second semester under the direction of Harney, president during that time. At the close of the first semes- ter several new members, both active and probationary, were admitted into the organization.

In the spring of 1930 a complete reorgan- | ization of the publicity bureau was brought about at the suggestion of Frederick R. Hen- shaw, alumni secretary at the time. The pur- | pose of this change was to bring the bureau into closer relationship with the alumni sec- retary’s office, in order that greater benefits might be derived from the work done by the ERNEST L. BOYD members of the organization. Director Page One Hundred Seventy-eight Mh abhi that of the best Colleges in the land. To form an Institution after the models thus set before them, the Trustees and patrons knew would require no fitful effort; but a steady, constant, persevering ex- ertion—an exertion never to be abated, or relaxed. Few, however, know how to appreciate the difficulties attendant upon such an enter- prise, except those who have engaged in it. It has been well said, ““A College is a tree of centuries’. The planting, watering, shielding, nourishing such a tree for the first fourth of the first century, is a task of no small magnitude.

Hox The past year has provided one of the most interesting of debate seasons for several years. The subject of recognition of Russia was one that afforded almost limitless material, so that each debate was something of a new venture. The affirmative emerged with a clean slate in decision contests, defeating Earlham and Indiana State College. The negative lost its only decision debate to DePauw. Earlham, Indiana State College, Purdue, Manchester, Lake Forest, and DePauw were the teams debated by the affirmative, composed of Auer, Tip- ton, Tweedle, Davis, Clyde Hux, Clem Hux, and Vogel. Adolfson, Adney, Larrabee, Plummer, and Van Dyke, negative, debated DePauw, Purdue, Indi- ana Law School, Manchester, Lake Forest, and the Liberal Science Institute of Chicago. Auer, Hux, and Tweedle met DePauw in a radio debate over Sta- tion WKBF, the first in which a Wabash team has participated. The best debate of the season was held in the chapel between two Wabash teams. By audience decision, Adolfson, Larrabee, and Plummer of the nega- tive defeated Auer, Tipton, and Tweedle, affirmative. Page One Hundred Eighty try when this Institution was planted, the amount of money which can be realized for such an object is necessarily very small. A spirit of literary enterprise has to be awakened or created; prejudices arise from ignorance or from sectarian and local interests, must be met and overcome. These are a few of the outward difficulties. Those within are of a character no less serious. Instead of materials shaped and prepared to hand, they must be taken from the stump and the quarry; and the whole work of blocking, scoring, hewing, smoothing, jointing, polishing—everything is to be done. 08.

To make, then, even a fair approximation to the model, in the early efforts, was cer- tainly a Herculean task. But the standard was not too high—the aim was not too noble—it has been kept constantly before us. How well we have reached it, we are willing that those who have pursued our full course of study, and have been graduated with the honors of the Institution, should be our witnesses.

This has added vastly to our labor, especially as the preparatory classes have been instructed chiefly by the Professors in College. Yet this feature has had its advantages. A more mature and perfect scholarship has thus been secured in those who have completed the entire course of study. Our preparatory course of study, as well as that of College proper, is full, not suffering in comparison with that of older institutions in the United States. But to hold young men to the full six years’ course This collection of speeches, edited by Dr. W. Norwood Brigance, is “‘a centennial volume, commemorating one hundred years of liberal arts educa- tion” and is dedicated to Edgar H. Evans, Wabash ’93, donor of prizes for the annual Evans Oratorical Contest. The preface is devoted to the history of the Interstate Oratorical Asso- ciation, oldest organization of its kind. It was in the contests of this association that most of the speeches listed on the preceding page were delivered. The fore- word was written by Dr. Brigance. Page One Hundred Eighty-three has been a matter of much difficulty. The somewhat late hour in life at which many have commenced their studies; the wide fields of activ- ity and lucrative enterprise open before them, together with the rail- road and telegraphic tendencies of the age, have all combined to in- fluence young men to pursue a shorter and more speedy route to the arena of public life. Besides, the very limited preparatory, and con- sequently abbreviated Collegiate course, of some kindred institutions in the West, has had its influence both to diminish the number of stu- dents, and to enhance the tendency to a partial course.

Dr. Brigance is author of “The Spoken Word”, a textbook in speech composition now in use in more than one hundred colleges and universities, and “Classified Speech Models’, which has achieved equal popularity. “Jere- miah Sullivan Black; the Biography of a Defender of the Constitution and the Ten Commandments” is to be published this year.

KITCHEN Two contests afforded opportunity for oratorical competition this year at Wabash. That one sponsored annually by Edgar H. Evans was won by John M. Kitchen, and the Peace Contest in the spring was won by Lorentz Adolfson. John Kitchen, as winner of the Evans Contest, represented Wabash at the state contest where he won second place. He gave his speech also at the Kiwanis Club of Indianapolis. His oration, The Arm of the Law, dealing with the problem of the third degree in contemporary police administration, excited much comment. Kitchen’s vivid indictment of these brutal methods swept through a series of stirring examples taken from careful research in the various phases of the problem. As a result of requests, copies of the oration were sent to the Bloomington High Schools, Doane College in Nebraska, and to Professor Chafee of the Harvard Law School. Lorentz Adolfson won the Peace Contest with a speech entitled ‘Medals and Gold.” As The Wabash goes to press this speech is being perfected for the state peace contest in May, when Adolfson will represent Wabash.

Many of the young men who first sought its advantages were professedly pious, and did much to give the right tone to public sentiment in the Institution, in the outset; and their in- fluence is still felt for good, and doubtless will be, far in the future. The Bible is made the standard of morality and discipline. Familiar explanatory and practical lectures are given upon it, by the President or one of the Professors, every Sabbath morning, and a more formal lecture is preached to the students by the President, in the afternoon of the Sabbath.

The German Club was founded in May, 1926 by Professor Domroese at the request of several students. In October, 1926 the Robert A. King Prize in German was announced to be given annually to the graduate showing the During the six years of its existence the club has cnjoyed many and varied programs. Members of the faculty have spoken before it, and two outside professors, Professor G. O. Arth of DePauw and rofessor M. D. Baumgartner of Butler, have talked on special subjects. One the most interesting features introduced last year was the beginning of a correspondence between members of the club and students in Germany. The high spot of this year was the Goethe Centennial program, March 29, 1932. Despite the academic interest stimulated by the activities of the German Club probably the pleasantest memories are clustered about the annual meeting at which Professor and Mrs. Domroese entertain at their home. The officers were I. H. Adolfson, president, F. O. Lamb, vice-president, L. S. Suter, treasurer, Professor Domroese, secretary. Page One Hundred Eighty-six in these public instructions, efforts are made to impress the high ob- ligations of religion upon the youthful mind, and early to awaken a conviction of the necessity of a radical change in the moral affections, in order to secure the Divine approbation. These means have not been without their desired effect upon the religious interests of the students. Quite a number, it is believed, were brought to a proper knowledge of their spiritual relations and inter- ests, and to yield to the great sanctions of religion, by a personal con- - ; TURE RE, || PRR RCE Te AT REATARD ed I.

Le Cercle Francais has had an interesting and active year. Under the lead- ership of Professor and Mrs. Leavenworth it has held meetings with almost fortnightly regularity. These meetings have all had some attraction varying from novelties to serious talks, either by students or by outsiders. ‘The first of the year saw six comic plays presented in the French dialect. Early in the year a bridge party was held at which the players used French terms for the saatinte and in the talk at the tables. This was one of the most interesting nov- elties of the year. Vice-president Coulter gave the club and the French department of the school a French flag, pictures, and books which he had collected on his last trip to France. He also entertained the club with one of his inimitable talks. ‘The meeting at the home of Professor and Mrs. Leavenworth was the outstanding gathering of the vear. ‘The president was A. C.

In the year 1838, there was a very deep and special interest in religion. The Spirit af God, for many weeks, evidently pervaded the Institution. The number of students in attendance, in the Winter of 1838, was upwards of ninety, of whom thirty were professedly pious when they entered the Institution; of the others about thirty became hopefully the subjects of renewing grace, most of whom have since given evidence of sincere and devoted attachment to the cause L ; H vpbbthh!

The Carnegie Foundation for International Peace provided a small library of books on sub- jects dealing with problems of peace. This foundation also sent to the club a visiting professor from the American University at Beruit, Syria, who spoke on Syria. In addition it provides each member with a fortnightly review of world events. The club was organized in an attempt to create interest in current prob- lems of the world.

For its extent, power, and distinctly marked cases of spe- cial interest, this rivival of religion will long be remembered. Several of the subvects of this work of grace have, for some years, been successfully preaching the gospel. Seasons of religious interest were also witnessed in 1840 and 1841, in which a number of the Stu- dents were hopefully converted. In 1843 there was a revival of un- common power.

Founded in the fall of 1927, Alpha Pi has continued to function for the last four years as an all-inclusive science club, centering its attention on all of the sciences studied at the college. It was organized at the instigation of Ralph Howard, an assistant in physics at the time, who desired to create a society which would be equally concerned with all sciences, as opposed to those groups which concentrate upon one science alone. Under the leadership of Howard Brown, president of the organization this year, Alpha Pi has continued to carry on its work in keeping with the scheme of the new curriculum. The club includes as its members those men who are especially interested in sciences and who have chosen one of them as their field for concentration.

Others of a more reckless character, and whose religious advantages had been extremely limited, were made to eaperience the terrors of the law, and the sweet consolations of the Gospel. From the first dedication of this Institution in the midst of the primeval forest to the present time, it is believed, its spiritual in- terests have been constantly and faithfully urged before the throne of grace.

This year an attempt has been made by the Scarlet Masque to develop a greater student in- terest in the organization. Official tryouts un- der the direction of Dean Kendall and Profes- sors Osborne and Hutsinpillar early in the fall resulted in the admission of more than twenty new members. The first play of the year, “Adam’s Apple”, a three-act farce by Test Dalton, was present- ed on December 16 at the Little Theatre of the Masonic ‘Temple. From it a scene is pre- sented on the following page. On April 5 a second play, “The Nut Farm”, a three-act comedy by John C.

In 1851 the President observed that ‘‘No class has ever graduated here without having enjoyed from one to four revivals of religion, and four-fifths of all its Alumni have gone forth from their Alma Mater the enrolled servants of the living God.” In 1854, ’35 and ’56 there were many tokens of the Divine in- Miss Mildred Roach, G.

It relates equally to the moral and physical nature of man, and com- prises the development and training of all his powers... But I have chiefly in view, in my remarks on liberal educa- cation, the improvement of mankind. . . . Education in its application to the mind, comprises the development, right direction and permanent discipline of all its powers. To be thorough it must provide this harmonious and efficient action. —(From an address by the first president of the college, Dr. Elihu Whittlesey Baldwin, July 18, 1836.) 400 Students Faculty of 33 Ms A abhi 5 Z ; rea eae mT Catalog and information concerning admission may be secured from the Director of Admissions, Crawfordsville, Indiana.

C. KLEIN says he is the best engraver in the city. Rather presump- tious on the part of Mat. but guess he wouldn’t story about a little thing. Oh! ye sinners who have fallen desperately in love, pop the question, go to Klein’s and buy a nice ring, and have Mat. engrave in it————the ten commandents. HANNA CRAIG are “not having trouble with their wives.” ‘That’s not their business. They are in the livery business. Try them once. P. R. SIMPSON keeps the Fruit House. Boys, you can get apples from him when no one else has them. It will soon be time to shear hogs. A. F. RAMSEY never shears his fat hog. He'll sell you good groceries “‘cheap for cash”. CADWALAEER HUGHES have promised the Senior Class a ride in their new carriages. Won't that be fine boys? JAKE TROUTMAN is not so good looking as some men, but he has bet- ter principles. No middlings are ground over in his mill and sold to the hun- gry people as first class flour. MIT GALEY sings well and does his dental work as well. They say Beal can pull a tooth better than anyone in town. The GALEY BROS. are gentle- men. GOLTRA BABCOCK please the students with their new styles of Hats, Collars, Ties, etc. Charley can get you up the nicest shirt you ever wore. CHARLEY CRAWFORD ought to get married. But he says he would have to neglect his customers if he did that. Charley sells lots of goods, but that’s no excuse for his not marrying. If he don’t watch sharp that large, good looking clerk, John Hutton, will beat him. Oh! but John can wait on a cus- tomer nicely. That red-headed Dickey is like a singed cat, better than he looks. You never see him when there is not a smile on that rosy face. It is useless to urge stjidents to call on him. If there is a student that don’t know DICKEY BREWER to be the best men to trade with in this city or any other, let him be burned to death with Brokers “fireworks”.

The unfortunate individuals to whom this epithet may be applied are as numerous as the moods and minds of men. We mean only to notice a few of the most conspicuous and intolerable. That this misnomer is applied to per- sons to whom it does not belong by a certain class of inconsiderate and indis- creet individuals who are always too ready to criticise, we do not deny. But there are those who deserve this epithet and the sooner they know it the better for themselves and others. First then, the magnum caput class. ‘They are bores, ridiculous as well as offensive. ‘They are incessantly talking, and to no purpose. To illustrate: two or three young men, perhaps more, are talking on a subject which immediately concerns themselves and no one else; they do not desire to be interrupted, but magnum caput rushes up, indistinctly catches the last word, and breaks forth with, what is that you said? and without wait- ing for a reply he pours forth a torrent of words, fraught with import (?) and interspersed with the perpendicular pronoun; he thrusts his opinion (for he re- gards it to be unquestionably the best) upon you without mercy. Magnum caput is very learned! He is posted on all subjects, and is ever anxious to teach you something. If you ask his opinion on a question he will detain you a couple of hours telling you what he has read until you withdraw disgusted and leave him talking to the walls, which are commonly supposed to have ears.

Main St. FREE DELIVERY | Crawfordsville, Indiana The second class of bores is perhaps the most pusilanimous and offensive of all, viz: those who draw you into the largest crowd possible, and then ask you questions about your business—private business too, which you do not care to speak of in public, nor even in private except it be to a confidential friend. But Mr. Bore sets his pump to work and you are put to your wits end to find sut- ficiently evasive answers or are compelled to tell all you know. The third class are the lazy bores who hang around rooms. ‘They are al- ways very welcome (?) especially when you are real busy, and that is all the time with a diligent student. Friend Bore has an admirable knack of dropping in on Saturday evenings, just when you are busy working on debate, with books and papers scattered around. With two or three broad hints that you are on debate next Friday night and not half prepared yet, he can not help knowing you are busy and want to work; but he is bound to have his stay out and that stay is generally a good old fashioned one...... The fourth class of bores are found in the class rooms. They are infalli- bly wise—wise enough even to instruct their tutors. If they render a sentence wrong, or make a mistake in demonstrating a problem and the Professor at- tempts to correct them, they are ready to dispute with him. “Professor, ren- dered that sentence this way; I don’t see why it isn’t right; I can parse every word of it. I can’t see why my translation isn’t as good as yours.’’............ Fifth. Of all the bores that ever did bore, the ministerial is the greatest.

Yes, worse than a bore; you have put on the livery of Heaven to serve the devil in. For instead of rousing your audience and telling them that they are rapidly ap- proaching an eternity where each must take his own place in heaven or hell, you allow them to approach that awful shore with drooping eyes and listless ears. SHALL I JOIN A SECRET FRATERNITY C. A} Perkitis From The Wabash Magazine, 1872. Perhaps there is not a young man who comes to college and who has ever been “spiked”, but has often asked himself and his friends this question. The theme we wish to present in this article is this: Should it be con- sidered a question of doubt whether any one should join one of the college fra- ternities? We answer, it should. 1. They are condemned by many good Christian students, and also by Christian ministers, and Professors and Presidents of colleges. They are even entirely prohibited in some colleges.

Pike St. Phone 348 Crawfordsville and Lafayette, Ind. 2. ‘They have the reputation, everywhere, of cultivating jealousies, and even enmity and dishonesty; and this reputation is often well deserved. These form strenuous reasons why it should be considered a question of doubt with every young man when he comes to college, whether he ought to join a Greek society or not. The fact is just this: if it will make him envious, prejudiced, and partial; if it will concentrate all his sympathies upon those of his society, and isolate him from others; then he ought not to join one of the fraternities, for he would be endangering his character, and stifling the nobler feelings of his heart. In some colleges these fraternities have been an injury. They have al- most ruined the literary societies in one or two of our Western colleges, so we are informed by former students of those institutions. And this was done simply by each party cliquing together in favor of its own members, when any officers were to be elected, or honors to be bestowed. But we may be thankful that it has not yet come to that pass at Wabash. Cliquing, or partyism, is the fruitful source of most all the political cor- ruption in this country, and students are not proof against its corrupting in- fluences. ‘l'6 the extent that cliquing is practiced, dishonesty will prevail. In deed, it is dishonesty itself. (Continued on page 229) ROBERT MILLIS, M.D. H. A. KINNAMAN, M. D. 310 Ben Hur Bldg. 410 Ben Hur Bldg.

A fine opportunity after graduation | At least worth an interview with us. Page Two Hundred T idid person all deny that it is wrong to vote for a person, simply because he is a member of the same fraternity, without regard for the worthi- ness or talents of his opponent. _ These things are charged against us Greeks, and, although we are sorry to do it, we must confess that they are, to some extent, just charges. The dif- ferent fraternities charge them upon one another, and outsiders charge them upon all. It is evident, judging from the character of some of the members in each of them, that there is not a fraternity in Wabash College, whose principles conflict with any Christian duty, or favor those things which are charged against us. But how shall we prove the purity of these principles? How shall we rid ourselves of the embarrassments occasioned by the charges, not only of cliquing, but also of partiality and petty prejudices? And how may we | render the fraternities worthy the embrace of any young man? We answer, by cultivating friendship and honesty towards every one, and in questions of general interest, in our relations as students, respecting the wel- fare and merits of all. If we do not this, we violate the command of Christ, who said, “Love thy neighbor as thyself.” We emphatically say that genuine Christianity and cliquing are incom- patible. In regard to the question heading this article; let every one, after study- ing it in all its bearings, answer it for himself. A SENIOR EXCURSION From The Wabash Magazine, 1871. For the last few weeks, the Seniors could scarcely talk of anything but their “Shades of Death” excursion. It was a grand affair. Fourteen of the soon to be graduates, having been excused by the Faculty, procured a couple of teams from a livery stable, packed into buggies, baggage, provisions, guns, fishing apparatus, and the tent so kindly loaned us by that perfect gentleman, and friend to Wabash boys, Gen. Lew Wallace, and then deposited our own animated selves in the remaining space, and at “five o’clock in the morning” were on our way. Our Crawfordsville friends, had they seen us, could (Continued on page 230) I All kinds of DOA Special prices in summer to fraternity houses BUSENBARK GRAIN CO. Wabash ’10 Phone 30 512 S. Grant Page Two Hundred Twenty-nine i YY scarcely have recognized the demure Seniors of mee acquaintance, in the sing- ing, shouting, yelling, laughing boys, who for two days, forgot books and col- lege duties. “All went merry as a marriage bell,” until two miles beyond Waveland—when sudden as the flash of a falling meteor, the rear wheel of the second buggy struck a root, and seven discomfited Seniors experienced the re- sistless force of gravitation. Luckily, no one was hurt. ‘Two braves volun- teered to take the broken wheel back to W.; the wounded wagon was: deserted, the baggage, and the invalids were tenderly deposited in the front wagon, the baggage train “marched boldly on before,’ and ye valiant Seniors footed it to “the Shades.” Arrived there, the tent was immediately pitched, and as quickly christened “Camp Wallace,” in honor of our kind patron. The afternoon, and the forenoon of the next day, was devoted to fishing, hunting, boating, swim- Ii i ming, quoit-pitching, target-shooting, domino-playing, story-telling, eating, ex- ne ploring, naturalizing, and zoologizing. The noble Rock River was thoroughly | surveyed, the beautiful scenery was beheld, and admired the “Devil’s Back- bones,” both large and small, were explored, and inscribed with our names; and at noon, we bade adieu to our pleasant camping ground, and started homeward. At Waveland the Senior Nine, played a game of baseball with the Rockets of Waveland. At the close of the fifth inning, the game resulted in the score, Wh Rockets, 13; Seniors, 32. Compelled by the necessities of traveling, to refuse | a pressing invitation to remain to supper,—-our broken wagon having been re- paired, we turned our horses’ heads towards Crawfordsville, and at 10 P. M. arrived safely at old Wabash, and thus ended our class excursion. -— Crawfordsville’s Newest and Best D ambho! 5) | BREACGCK SG Nile T. A.
