Our birthdays range from ’84 to ’88; our heights from 5 ft. 11, to 5 ft. 2 inches; our weights from 140 to 100 pounds; and our looks — well, you must judge that for yourselves. Margie Burks has upheld the dignity of 1905 from the opening of the Freshman year, and as our presi- dent, she has planned all campaigns for Naughty- Five through many college battles. Wellington was not prouder of his veterans, nor Ifapoleon of his Marechals, than is she of the girls of Naughty-Five; and her proudest boast is that we have never struck our flag to the Spirit of Cowardice, and that the old flag has never trailed in the dust, — though it did on one occasion dip in the soup. She is editor-in-chief of the college monthly and hterary editor of the Annual; has harvested all the medals, and has a reader’s place this year. Her greatest weakness is worrying the Burke Printing Company about typographical errors in the Wesleyan and about not getting out the Wesleyan on time. An- other weakness is that she has tried to take every elective; and I believe if we should come to Wesleyan ten years from now, she would still be searching in vain for another course. I heard some one remark the other day that Mary Joe Carmichael must be a very honest girl because all the moneys of the Senior Class, of the Y. W. C. A., and the Wesleyan were entrusted to her. But I know that is not the only reason, for she is known to be a great financier and a successful business manager. She comes from Jackson and entered the Sophomore Class. Now she is associate editor of the Annual. We hold her in awe because she has already before coming to us met with a great deal of success as a school ma’am and she often refreshes us with her experience. Now Ethel Walker is one of the prodigies. She is from Jasper and entered as a Sophomore. At French recitations, and while dissecting specimens in physi- ology, she is troubled by an unaccountable activity of her lachrymal glands. We have never ceased to mar- vel over her physical recitations, and will ever speak of them as a wonder. She is one of the Senior place girls this year. Waldron Roberts is a town-girl who joined us in our Sophomore year. She at once immortalized her- self by her Latin translations, which were a marvel. As a Teaser and as business manager of the college monthly she now has an enviable reputation. Litera- ture is her strong point, for she is always up with her work. Physiology figures are her delight and also a delight to her teacher. She is a very handy friend, so the girls say, since she brings them biscuits. Waldron’s great trouble at present is the automobile craze — but she may recover. May Boyd Clarke, another town-girl, is the Senior actress. As Pandora, she won the hard heart of a critical audience and has played in several other star roles. She joined us in the Sophomore Class, and is distinguished more for her absence than for her presence. In Senior Literature, she has expressed only radical views, and her interpretation of Edmund in King Lear remains imchallenged to this day. Lizzie Neal Rogers is another celebrity of the stage who starred with Clarke this spring. She joined us in our Junior year, and while reading De Amicitia, often assured us that she loved no one except the home folks. Her chief delight is misconstruing peo- ple’s motives. As literary editor of the Wesleyan, she is the most dreaded person in the college, as she tries to wheedle you into writing a love-story which you are confident will not be worth reading before she informs you of the fact. She says the Burke Job Printing OflSce is the bane of her existence, but I am glad that it furnishes her an outlet for some of her charming sarcasm. At Wesleyan she is Senior Class poet, and has a Senior reader’s place. Pearl Peacock, from Eastman, can not be described BO she says, and I know I am not going to try, for that is why she has so many pictures taken. When the Seniors were required to write a personal descrip- tion, Pearl wrote not a word; — she just handed in her photograph. She entered Freshman and has stuck by us through thick and thin. She desires to be a teacher and promises to be lenient on all who say ‘T don’t know.” Shelton Sauter and Myra Mizelle can not be sepa- rated in this biography any more than they can be separated elsewhere. Really we can hardly tell them apart. Both joined us in our Junior year and both are trying for a B.L. degree. Shelton comes from Ocala, Florida, and is interested in one individual there. She desires to teach psychology, so she can keep her book open once and read out of it in the class-room. Myra is an old reliable encyclopoedia. If you ever want any information, seek Myra Mi- zelle ; moreover, should you ever have use for a good love-story for the Wesleyan go to Myra, ye editor — for she knows all about love, as her recitations on the Emotions in Psychology prove. Along with these come Child and Moon, for how could ‘‘the Child live without Mooney ?” But these love not alone, and Lillian Holt ties the love-knot. This trio may be seen strolling around “most any old time.” “T. Belle” (alias Eva Child), is from South Carolina and is the most dignified member of our 12 clasB. Everyone knows that Belle’ is never in any disturbance and could not make noise if she tried hence her name. When she entered the Sophomore Class, she was so short’ that everyone stood in awe of her. At present, she is the sergeant-at-arms of the Senior Class, and president of the Athletic Asso- siation. Her one ambition for years has been to see Class Day of 1905 a success. But to this promising young lady, we must lay a serious charge, viz. — she is an anarchist; she started the mumps her Junior year, and did measles act about a month ago. Lillian Holt is one of the honored founders of 1905, for she started in the Academy. She is so in the habit of coming to the college that we fear that even when her diploma is locked safely in her trunk, she will return for post-graduate work. Lillian is a Macon girl and is the best, the kindest, and the most generous girl in the world. The Senior Class is in- debted to her for many good times and for being ever ready to help carry out their plans. She is the con- necting link between noisy Belle” and studious ‘‘Mooney.” The latter has been a marvel ever since she came that eventful September of 1901. Her 100 in Freshman geometry was the envy of every girl in col- lege. Science has been her hobby, and her note-books are a thing of beauty. She has held many class offices and is one of the readers for Commencement. Mary Jo Barron and Susie Baldwin are room- mates and Seniors, so of course they have a great deal in common. They both enjoy baseball, Mercer re- ceptions and boys. Susie is crazy over journalists, especially the editor-in-chiefs of college monthlies. She joined Sophomore year, and has done good work for the class in basket-ball. She has studied short- hand and typewriting, and is proficient. Mary Jo has been here four years. She comes from Clinton, and is a fair specimen of Jones County, where “Thar’s more in the man Than thar is in the Ian’.” She is the one Senior who was brave enough to wear a veil all Junior year and consequently has been the envy of the lower classmen. Barron has made quite a record at punning, and startled the French class one day, when Professor Koets, in discussing the origin of words, asked: “Young ladies, if we get patrimony from our fathers, what do we get from our mothers ?” “Matrimony, of course,” answered Miss Barron. How Minnie Akin ever became a Senior is a puz- zle. She has done an enormous amount of work. When we were Freshmen, she took Bible as her only Freshman study, yet she gets a diploma May 31, 1 905. Of her work nothing further need be said. At her home, she will ride in an automobile which her father promises on receipt of her diploma. “Fair exchange is no robbery.” Sadie Flowers of Blakely is another dignified Senior, but she was bom dignified. She is loyal, her motto in life being, “We live for each other.” Sadie joined us as a Sophomore and has proved beyond dis- pute that “Still water nms deep.” As vice-president she was Burks’ right arm, leading the charge against the Seniors of 1904 and was the hero of 1,000 battles. Gussie Finney came from the great coimty of Jones, and has a grandma. Oh, how the Seniors envy Oussie her grandma I She entered Academy and has been battling witb ill-health all her life. This can be seen from her glowing countenance and ro- timdity of body. Gussie and her big knife have won as much renown in Senior physiology as Gussie and her big knife deserve when those boxes come and must be opened. Vesta Pace is the class artist Her Faculty pictures have become famous and will ever flash upon that inward eye “which is the bliss of solitude.” She is from Plains and entered Sophomore, where she made a splendid physico record. She is the smart- est girl in the class and loses no time because she is able to keep apace with her professors. She studies only the days when she knows she is going to be called on, not even needing her name dotted. Hope Wilder, our Hope! Champion basket- ball player ! One of the original thirteen Freshmen ! She won great fame as a baseball player as Freshman, and has never lost a game for the class. She, too, is loyal, and lives for other people. Elizabeth Davis Jones, otherwise plain Bessie Jones, more familiarly known as “Queen,” arrived here during September, 1902. As a child, she was precocious, having such a remarkable memory that she can describe a journey from Hogansville, Ga., to LaFayette, Ala., made at the age of nine months. “Queen” always has something to do, and now at the last moment, is struggling in a death-grapple with Mythology. Her knowledge of German is marvel- ous, since she always appreciates German humor. Woodie Schley comes from Columbus, where she did as many wonderful things as she has done at Wesleyan. She joined us in our Junior year and has had a very peculiar course. Latin is her hobby and undaunted by a grade of 93, she entered a higher study where “Still achieving, still pursuing, She learns to labor and to wait.” Woodie is a Senior of high dignity and lofty airs. She deserves much credit as a basket-ball player and as an actress. Oppie Lee Rogers is the brightest girl that ever came from Eastman as Red Hair would indicate ; so we are not surprised that she accomplished a three years’ course in two. She is the shining light of the 13 I Senior Class and won distinction on the basket- ball field. Next oome the Imps who are as impish as their names and pins would suggest. Nine girls in all and all of them different. Annie Barrs is a fair sample. She entered Freshman class where she proceeded to lose her heart and, sad to relate, has never recovered it, though it has changed hands a number of times. The world remembers when she threw herself at her lover s feet in Lamar’s. That business of falling down right at the proper time has marked Annie all through her college course. Wlierever she goes she spills hair-pins and so she can always be tracked. I wonder if that is why she is always caught up with. She got the only stain on the Senior flag, viz. : soup at the Sophomore banquet. As captain of the baseball team she won laurels which will never fade. How Julia Wade ever became an Imp, no one knows, but perhaps appearances are deceiving. Julia came all the way from Smith’s Station, Alabama, which is such a large place that it can not be found on the map. She entered Sophomore wth Latin to make up. Julia is a very good girl, but something serious is the matter with her eyes. She does not like the boys and would not talk to one except on the train, for any amount of money. Her only fault is her enormous capacity for studying. Mary Copeland is another one of those girls who is trying to do three years’ work in two. As a conse- quence she is worked to death. Mary comes from Greensboro and is an Adelphean, a S. A. E., an imp, and a demon. She likes all Mercer boys, but lawyers in particular. Cleo Mable enjoys the notoriety of being a twin. She is known as the most studious girl in college. No one can ever tell Cleo and Cliff when in a liurry, so veiT often one is asked for the other’s debt. The twins have been with us two years and come from Decatur. The best joke the twins ever played was in the Junior-Senior basket-ball game, when Special twin played for Senior twin and no one was ever the wiser until several days afterward. Natalie Thomas is an impish creature. She never studies, yet is going to get two diplomas in one year. She comes from Waynesboro and to hear her tell it, Waynesboro is the only place. Her health has been so poor lately that she has had three weeks’ vacation. Natalie has a dramatic soprano voice and charms everyone who hears her sing. She received vocal medal 1904, and is the personification of in- difference. Eloise Guyton comes from Ihiblin. She entered the Academy and has been hard at work ever since. She is known far and wide for her cases, and every- one is interested in the mysterious inknown” who brings her good things to eat. The ‘Hjife and Notes” of this illustrious young woman are being compiled by A. Bradley. Her cases are too numerous to enumerate, being very short, but oh, how sweet. “Is Ruth Martin a member of every club in col- lege?” I heard some one ask the other day, and I hastened to explain that she was only a Philomathean, a Chi Phi, a Bluffer, an Imp, a Demon, a Walker, a Slipper, and a member of the present Senior Class. She comes from Columbus and thinks no place half sc grand. She entered Junior, taking B.L., and is business manager of the Annual. Her voice and her foot are objects of much care and pride. She enjoys the reputation of being the neatest girl in the class. Nona Johnston is very anxious to change her name, since she has so much trouble with the “t.” She entered the middle of the Freshman year, but waited until she was Senior to make up algebra. She is a born poet; it is her strong point, and the only re- markable thing about it is the poetry. The ninth Imp is Aline Bradley, of Carrollton. She has held class offices, and as local editor of The Wesleyan and associate editor of the Annual, has won much fame. She is a specialist in all lines, but left off pipe-organ at the earnest solicitations of her friends. She made the mistake of her life when she tried to graduate in elocution instead of vocal music ; but as she is only the second graduate in elocu- tion ever sent out from Wesleyan, of course she would not forego this honor. The attraction of her Senior year has been a red-headed man, who has sent her a life-size portrait and often sends long-distance tele- phone messages to let her know he is at church. Susie Smith’s past shows nothing momentous or extraordinary. Her one desire, so she says, is to have a good time, to have B.L. degree with no dis- tinctions — “just plain so” — and to have enough money to get back to St. Louis. Susie entered Sopho- more and she has been struggling through all these long years to get that diploma. She is Senior philosopher, since she believes “God is everything that is anything.” We now come to our class baby, but you would never know imless I told you — Miss Ann DeButts Shaw, who, like Gussie Finney, has a grandma. She was one of the Academy children and has ever upheld the dignity of 1905. She has held class offices, but in none did she so distinguish herself as when toast- master at the Sophomore banquet, when she illus- trated the now well recognized fact of her remarkable memory. For her Senior elective she chose to pur- sue a higher course in Latin prose composition. She the fair college representative and is so presented to college professors at all college receptions. Since I am only called upon to write a biography and not an autobiography, I add “I have told the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth.” HISTORY OF CLASS ' 05 When Guildenstern said to Hamlet, ‘Good, my lord, vouchsafe me a word with you,” and Hamlet replied, ‘Sir, a whole history,” the courtier began to squirm and to change the subject But this history may reveal to you the trials and the joys of a people making their way through the labyrinths of litera- ture, science, and art, into the mysterious passage- ways of Psychology, on to diplomas. Wlien we first discern through the mists of antiq- uity this people who called themselves Senior Class of Wesleyan Academy — though we know better now as the class of ’05 — we find them dwelling in the northeast corner of the basement of the main build- ing, a region that has since been cut up into four practice rooms. I am glad to say that from this pre-historic time, science has been able to preserve five fine specimen of this great people — Finney, Guy- ton, Holt, Shaw and Akins. In that fall of 1901, these five moved out into the promised land of college life, whence they were joined by eighteen more girls. There twenty-five girls, from the young short-skirts to the tall, stiff dignities, perched on the desks of Mrs. Burks’ recitation room to view the land, and to make immediate plans for organization. With no use for parliamentary laws, and still less knowledge of its usage, oflScers were elected: Margie Burks, president; Nan Shaw, vice- president; Edwina Wallette, secretary; and Johnny Hogan, treasurer. Business was rapidly disposed of. Every member of the class was on each committee, and freedom of speech rigidly adhered to. Occasionally the presi- dent would call for a vote, and the eager voters had their first taste of representation in government. That afternoon, a motto, Non mente, sed animo ' was chosen; a flower selected, the American Beauty rose; and red and white chosen for colors. Besides these, a constitution was drawn up, and plans made for monthly literary meetings. When Chuppie Allen screamed at seeing a rat scamper across the recitation floor, hearts sank and girls sighed, not because Chuppie had their sympathy, but because Miss Allen would call for a theme de- scribing the event. When no girl got up a sensation, however, the lamentations of a Freshman” were re- quired, and the groans and the lamentations ! With unerring judgment, the Juniors patroniz- ingly entertained the Freshmen with a hare and hound chase. However, the children of large ‘‘pride” in small bodies showed their appreciation in the trol- ley ride given to the Juniors, when with brilliantly- lighted cars, the college world learned that ’05 was a moving class, and that ’03 was one much beloved. All departments of college study were open to them except science, but the Sophomores promised to admit them into the mysteries as soon as they had put away childish ways. Journalistic ability ap- peared, however, in the writings of Freshmen, and both the college journal and the annual were indebted to them for their brightest articles. In September, when classes gathered again, the ’05s could be recognized by an “I’ve-been-here-be- fore” expression, as they showed the awe-struck Freshmen where to find the teachers. But those forty-five Sophomores grew sentimental, getting every day crazier about the Seniors. Blushing, embarrass ment, heart failure and empty purses were the symp- toms of this almost fatal mania. It was due to a “case” between the president of the ’03 and ’05 that tlie Sophomores obtained their beautiful flag. But mental balance was preserved by the solid problems in physics and trigonometry, as by the slightly damp- ening effects of the “Ancient Mariner.” This was the year the Naughty-fives were social leaders, distinguishing themselves at their banquet. The teachers and faculty were present but found it so hard to talk at a banquet that they busied them- selves in another and better way, except one dear professor, the dean of the faculty, who toasted so long that he saw three courses served and removed, and viewed each departing course with anxious eye. But his fasting is still appreciated, for it showed a willingness to do his best for the class that might be- come a good class, as he had often vaguely intimated. As the sergeant-at-arms was proudly waving the beautiful red and white banner over the heads of happy Sophomores, down it went into the soup! Unto this day there remains the stain, honorably won and battle-scarred, a reminder of a jolly banquet — and bouillon. With painstaking secrecy, the Sophomores planned action for class day, and slyly stole the Seniors’ and Juniors’ songs, and prepared a red rose wreath forty yards in length. With such equipment, the class Naughty-five honorably participated in the exercises, delighting the Seniors, but for some reason infuria- ting the jealous Juniors. “Some Sophomores are bom with dignity. Some achieve it; Some have dignity thrust upon them.” The day of final examination, all appeared with trailing skirts, (borrowed with so much trouble from the Seniors). As often as possible they would move to the professor’s chair, ask a question, and stalk solemnly back, looking over the shoulder at the beauti- ful sweep of the train. They were Juniors — almost. 15 Their ardor was slightly cooled, however, when the professor remarked, ‘‘Young ladies, you are a trifle premature. None of you have yet passed in my de- partment The next great movement in history was in the next fall. After the State Fair closed, the Juniors bought out the Jones County exhibit, in order to give their Freshmen protegees a Hallowe ' en party. Cinderella ' s godmother never worked swifter than did Junior fingers, as the Alethean Hall, now the Infirmary, was transformed into a sylvan bower, with a country store in one comer, and a gypsy tent in another. Pumpkins and squash became death ' s heads, garlands of luscious apples were festooned from the ceiling, while lurid sulphurous flames lighted the scene. After gas bell, white-robed figures filed silently down the college steps, traversing dark corridors, and passed out into the stilly night. From all dark nooks and comers, grinning ghosts looked out upon the frightened Freshmen. At the pass-word, “Pierced skull, and bloody bones, the Alethean door opened and closed behind them. The greatest acquisition to class of ' 06 that year was a sure enough fortune teller. Girls flocked to Katie McLaggan ' s room at all hours of the day, to learn if they were destined to a life of “single blessed- ness. Those teachers already past the score and ten years were often seen, eagerly questioning Katie as to whether there were any hope or not. The healthiest condition of the year was the spirit of rivalry between the Juniors and Seniors. It was no uncommon thing for the Seniors, on returning from a reception, to find their doors locked, and they always knew who were responsible. Especially did class spirit mn high as Class Day approached. The ' 05s, who would not pledge themselves not to get a little fun from the holiday, had no part to take in the exercises, but were notified by the president that they could attend the exercises as the rest of the public. They could frighten the Seniors with secret meet- ings, however, and whisperings in groups. In order to excite the curiosity of the Seniors and Sophomores, oft they went at dusk to Cnimps on a trolley ride, each Junior bearing on her sleeve a red ' 05. How relieved the Seniors felt to see them go, but they were surprised to hear and see the Juniors coming back, waving their banners. Quietly they filed into the chapel, with not even recognition from the ushers, but they gloried in the fact that their flag hung over the door, and that every class had to march under the outstretched banner of ' 05, signifying their subjection. After the brilliant performance of their rivals, they slipped out, and the mass of people were deafened by the yells of the Juniors to the Seniors, and the Sophomores pouring out maledictions upon the Juniors. Suddenly a re- quest came for silence, and with slow steps and fear- ful thoughts, each class quietly filed home. No more class spirit nor rivalry ! No exultation nor joy. The Angel of Death had come to Wesleyan while all girls were happy and was removing one who, by faithful work and loving nature had won the affec- tion of every student. Before another day had passed. Miss Skaggs had gone to be with God. Dear Miss Skaggs! loved matron and friend; the class of 1905 tenderly and reverently pay this tribute of love, and will ever hold you in loving memory. The fall of 1904 brought the long-looked-for day. Seniors at last, recognized leaders and no longer hav- ing to “look up to a class above them. But only thirty-four of the forty-five, only thirteen of those original founders of this great organization, re- turned to duty. Athletics were the fashion during the fall term. The Senior basket-ball team won the championship, after never losing a match game. On March the twentieth, the ' 05s had the honor of acting as escorts to Mrs. Catheri ne Benson at the ceremony of the laying the first brick for the Susan- nah Wesley Memorial chapel. Then each Senior, with bated breath, placed around and above this brick one on which was inscribed her own name and ' 05. In only a little while this Senior class will have passed from college ken, and Class Day and Com- mencement will live only in dreams. We go with great plans for the future, yet with reluctance we yield our places to ' 06. But Naughty-five has done more than frolic; it has been a revolutionary body for great and wholesome reformation. With pardona- ble pride we record the results of the warm and en- thusiastic class spirit of the ' 058. All narrow lines the languages — ancient and modem — has “Drunk deep of the Pierian spring. You find in her ranks great scientists, great mathematicians, great tone poets, great literary and art critics, classical scholars, journalists, business managers, poets, philosophers, and a historian. “Now, dear under-graduates, we remind you. You may make your lives sublime And as we do, leave behind you Footprints on the sands of time. 16 TO THE WESLEYAN GIRL OF ’05 might have been,” with fruitless sigh The faintheart, gazing backward, cries. Tt shall be,” shouts the conquering will. And gives no place to useless sighs. Heaven’s grace inspire thee! Then thy life Shall garner rich results of good. And beauty crown thy radiant days The guerdon of true womanhood. jft BE TRUE (Dedicated to the Naughty-Fives.) The poets sing of a Grolden Age When Truth and Right and Love did reign. But now ’tis gone, and never more, Say they, shall it come back again. And yet, I trow, true souls may bring Its halcyon days to earth once more. Be true. Then shalt thou know thy years More blest than faded days of yore. And thou shalt hymn a nobler strain Than ever filled a dreamer’s heart If truth shall be thy buckler sure. Thy Golden Age shall ne’er depart. 17 Wii-sox, Macon Wilson, Macon PROPHECY OF CLASS ' 05 A Dream of Fair Women After a long day of rummaging among old papers and souvenirs of college days, I sat at my window in the gloom of the fading day. The shadows of evening were growing too heavy for my weary eyes, and, unconsciously, I let slip from my hand a small magazine while I remained immoved, oblivious of everything present, and thinking only of my old days at Wesleyan. I had been reading the June number of the Wesleyan of the year 1905, which told in graphic language all about our Class Day. Yes, it has been a long time since then, although in youth the years slip by without a reckoning. My days at that grand old College were in the dim distance, and other duties and pleasures had almost crowded out of mind thoughts of the old days, but memory is a hard thing to expel when urged on by a reminder such as a college paper. And now my thoughts are nth my girlhood days, five happy years of which were spent at Wesleyan. I recall the presidents of the College, the teachers, my friends, and class-mates, and all those who were graduated with me. We have never met together again, not since we said “good-bye” the night of our banquet — we who fought so valiantly shoulder to shoulder through all the College struggles, and who shared with one an- other so much joy. I am at College again and am living over all the many bright hours in which the class of ’05 participated — the banquets, receptions, class days, and lastly our triumphant graduation day. It was at these times that we learned to know each other well and found out how great was our love for our class and College. The sun sank lower and lower — only the amber and lemon yellow beams from the last rays played on the horizon. The colors were deepening and intermin- gling into the grayness of the twilight. The chill of evening was rising around me. But unconscious of the beautiful change going on, I sat with my head on the window-sill remembering. It was May thirty-first, nineteen five. As I re- called this scene, a deep sadness filled my soul and a mist seemed slowly to rise up and fill my eyes until all was misty around me. I was no longer in the past but was actually speaking with the girls in the present, and the strangest part of it was Uiat I saw’ them, not all together, but they were scattered over the face of the earth, some in one place, and some in another. Can this be Ophelia A. Smith playing professional baseball ? Now all eyes are turned toward her, and loudly do the voices jeer when she “muffs” an easy “fly.” Ophie, I remember, was a ball enthusiast, and would become so wrought up when her Univer- sity was beaten that she would nearly lose her mind ; vow that if she had had such and such a play to make, she would have made no error, and enumerate all the possible scores that Mercer could and would have made. But who would have dreamed of Ophie’s throwing away her intellectual strength on baseball ? The dream of my life is realized. At last, I can hear the grand opera. How beautiful are the chorus girls 1 Why, there are my old class-mates. Pearl Peacock, Natalie Thomas, Nona Johnston and Ruth Martin. I am not shocked at seeing them there as I recall to mind that their first appearance in opera w as at Wesleyan during their Senior year when the “Silver Cloud” was presented. As the opera scene faded away, old Wesleyan rose before me. That must be the Susannah Wesley Memorial, completed since our day, and there is another dormitory, the Hardeman Building and a gymnasium, all newly built. I w’onder who has Mr. Giierry’s place. Why, Mary Joe Carmichael. The board of trustees had become convinced that it would take a woman to rule at Wesleyan, and that Mary Joe is the one woman best suited for the place. I w’ish you would look at her interviewing those two frightened girls for breaking unconsciously items M and N, of Rule 69. I can even hear her say clearly, in her same voice grown sterner under the responsi- bility of her new position: “Young ladies, you are restricted to the premises for seven weeks, except in cases of Providential cause and attendance on relig- ious service.” Ethel Walker is the teacher of physiology at Wes- leyan. There she stands explaining to her class the structure of the human skeleton without even making the slightest shudder or shedding a tear for the one departed, just as though she had always been accus- tomed to taking such things without tears. I look again and to my greatest amazement see Eloise Guyton conducting a dancing school at the old College. Well, the Wesleyan girls are certainly with their few light rules, allowed many privileges. I understand that Eloise stayed at college so many years that she felt out of place anywhere else, so had to go back and keep up her reputation “casing,” and Eloise is a fine college detective, on the “Unknown Friend.” Look at Julia Wade — a bride. There she is as pretty as ever she was as a college girl. Well, she waited a long time for the wedding march to strike up. How I wish some one would tease her, so I could see her blush. 19 Mary Joe Barron and Susie Baldwin are sent out by the United States Government through the South- ern States to put up stations for the Marconi system of wireless telegraphy. They are now at Wesleyan putting up one to be connected with the principal points in town — Mercer, Isaacs, John S. Hoge s and the baseball park. What shocked me most, and yet I can not say it surprised me so much, was to see my old friend and class president, Margie Burks. I am in a magnifi- cent theater, witnessing Shakespeare s great tragedy, Othello, and there in the middle of the stage she stands as “Desdemona.” Poor Margie ! she had met with tw o bitter disappointments at Wesleyan. The dream of her life was to have her class present a great drama, but two flat refusals from the president and faculty broke her heart. After graduation, she tried to have the whole class go on the stage to finish raising money, as she said, for Susannali Wesley Memorial Fund, but I think she wanted them to do this out of spite. A sudden change and see 1 Outside of town on a large signboard a woman is painting an advertise- ment. I recognize Vesta Pace, and stop to chat about the good old days. She tells me that she could easily have been a Raphael, but after careful thought, decided to cater to the popular taste, so she put aside her ambition, and finds painting posters and adver- tisements more profitable. Scene followed rapidly one after the other, and I seemed to be at one place and then again somewhere else with no time intervening. Lizzie Heal Rogers, the cynic, is a journalist whose especial duty is to criticise the love poems that are submitted for publication. I must say that she cer- tainly ought to know how for she had enough of it to do as literary editor of the Wesleyan. Can this be Woody Schley with wings all over her as if she were about to fly ? Yes, it is. Poor Woody lost her mind perfecting the flying machine. Ever since the Sophomores gave the Seniors that toboggan slide. Woody seemed not quite right. She went to work on this invention and tried to make everything fly. See what over-enthusiasm will do for the young ! I am very much surprised at seeing Annie Barrs st Wesleyan in charge of the Davenport building, the fine new gymnasium. I wonder how Annie engages in such work without wearing her hair down in a long plait. Wliat a time she used to have with that hair I I hesitate and then ask her to tell me the charm that keeps it from falling down. Forthwith, she shows me a remarkable hairpin which she has just patented, and owing to its remarkable service to all athletes, she hopes to realize a fortune. I am glad that Annie is doing so well. Whom do I next see but Minnie Aikens up to her tricks flirting with the boys on the streets. I thought that time would remedy that, and I am so astonished that I just stand and look at her until she is out of sight. Now I am walking along the pike at the World’s Fair held in Macon, on the one hundredth anniver- sary of the founding of the city. I see a crowd gathered aroimd some one, and on going closer I find her to be the Great White Mahatma. While she sleeps, the interpreter standing over her is revealing to the anxious people the magician’s innermost thoughts. Vhat! Amazed, I stand as if petri- fied. It is not the Great White Mahatma, but Myra Mizelle. I can but laugh ! The studious Myra must have spent her Junior year taking lessons from Katie MacLaggan, the great and only fortune-teller. But to think of Myra telling such a story for the sake of a little money! No one ever dreamed of her in this light. Going on down the pike, I see Saidie Flowers up on a stand, selling all kinds of quack medicines. She is advertising especially her newest cure for all ailments — insomnia, studying, laziness, heartache, homesickness, Sunday headaches, kleptomania, quar- relsome dispositions and cutting recitations. I only regret that Saidie had not made this discovery in our day, for then we all could have been graduated with medals and honors. I am not surprised at seeing my old class-chmn, Aline Bradley, in a convent. Something seemed to weigh upon her mind in her last year at Wesleyan. There were rumors of many suitors to her hand, and of her not knowing whom to choose. If such is the case, I do not wonder at her becoming a nun. When I ask her how such a change in her life came about, she only smiles sadly and tells me how the past has gone by, and that she lives only in the present Some say that Aline thinks she looks well in a nun’s attire and poses as an advertisement for Dr. Flowers’ “All Trouble Cure.” But I can not believe that she would sacrifice everything in the world to vanity and put her religion to such a base use. But maybe she is going to found a home for the heartbroken. Waldron Roberts, through the influence of some of her best friends, studied law soon after leaving Wes- leyan, and is now retained on the leading legal ques- tions of the day, even while Dean of the Law Faculty at Mercer. May Clarke is a widow. May always thought that she would look beautiful in black, and she had an eye for business. She was a rich old man’s darling for three very happy years, when he most considerately died, leaving her his fortune. Now she consoles her- self with a long black veil, a pug dog and a coy look. 20 W1L80N, Macon Wilson, Macon Wilson, Macon Wilson, Macon Gussie Finney is a brilliant pianist and makes farewell tours annually. Her last farewell concert tour included only New York, Boston, London, Paris and Berlin. On inquiring about Bessie Jones, some one tells me that at her home she has charge of a matrimonial bureau as general manager and chief hypnotizer. Especially do the young men confide to her their many affairs, and when once she tells them what to do, they go away with minds perfectly at rest. Ever since the Russian- Japanese War, Oppie Lee Rogers and Hope Wilder have been holding tent- meetings from place to place in Japan and are de- termined to spend their lives as missionaries, to help the conquerors in a spiritual way. They even find time to teach school occasionally. We were all so glad to get invitations to Eva Child’s and Eloise Moore’s weddings. They married the prominent politicians. Smith and Jones, Woman’s Rights candidates for the presidency and vice-presi- dency of the United States. Unfortunately, Smith and Jones were defeated. Each man blamed the other, and very foolishly ‘T Belle” and ‘Mooney” took up their husband’s quarrels. Now the wives never speak, nor do they even nod when passing face to face on the street. Lillian Holt, the traveling secretary for the Home Mission Society, has tried in every way to bring to- gether again her two old friends, but so far without any effect. She even neglects her mission meetings to go to Charleston, hoping to make T Belle” and ‘‘Mooney” bury the hatchet While visiting one, she is not allowed to see the other. I see her now on her way home after the usual unsuccessful trip. Mary Copelan and Clio Mable are the famous as- tronomers of the day, and while Clio takes the ob- servations, Mary makes the mathematical calcula- tions. They have discovered a new planet, and have named it Hinton, after their beloved and faithful teacher. Professor James C. Hinton, whom they have succeeded. In New York City, Shelton Souter has been head nurse at a hospital for dogs and cats. She made a world-wide reputation as an eye, ear and throat specialist for these animals, and is now making a greater name for herself than did Pasteur in our day, for through her efforts rabies is almost unknown. Suddenly, some one calls me by name and I feel a hand laid on my shoulder. Indistinctly I recog- nize Susie Smith. I rise to greet her, but instead I seem to be falling, and not able to catch myself. The room shakes violently. I awake and find myself lying on the floor. Is it possible that Susie did not call me, and was not standing by me? Can it be that I have slept and only dreamed of the girls ? The room was apparently totally dark I rubbed my eyes and looked aroimd. Only the stars, heralds of the night, mocked me with their merry twinkle. I run into the kitchen where I found Susie getting sup- per for us. 21 CLASS OF ' 06 Motto: Abhor that which is evil; cleave to that which is good Floweb: White carnation Colors : Lavender and white Officers OcTAviA Burden .

There was no class or- ganization until the Freshman year, and the first president was Miss Mary Loehr, of Shanghai, China. She resigned in the spring, and a new election was called. Miss Octavia Burden, of Macon, Georgia, was elected president At this meeting, wdth the assistance of Mrs. Cobb, a constitution was drawn up, and all class matters duly arranged; the white car- nation was chosen as the class flower. In the be- ginning of the year red, green and white were selected as class colors, but at this meeting the question was brought up, and it was decided to have lavender and white. The motto is ‘ Prove all things ; hold fast to that which is good. Of course, these girls went through the usual trials of poor Freshmen, scarcely seen by the haughty seniors, patronized by the all- wise Juniors, and scorned by the naughty Sophomores. Wesleyan opened September 1902, and these new Freshers, ‘‘Green as grass, with wide open eyes as they listened to the secrets of college life and timidly yet with brave hearts, tried to talk learnedly of being “old girls” and to speak condescendingly to “new girls, who didn’t know any better, poor things.” With quaking hearts they dreaded the mysteries of Hal- lowe’en, when ghosts robed in white, chanting Sopho- more yells, should put the Freshmen to torture. Their dreams were nightmares, their waking thoughts occu- pied with knowledge of hard lessons to be mastered, yet they bravely struggled on through the intricacies of Virgil and Ovid, or wrestled with problems of algebra that would not come right, and perhaps a few tears told that these brave little women were thinking of “home and mamma.” That they were not daunted by the accumulated piles of work waiting for them in the years to come is shown by their yell : “Gee whiz ! Gee whiz ! Ain’t we in a fix — Won’t get our ‘dips’ til nineteen and six !” With the help of Miss Skaggs, the dearly beloved matron, and Miss Brown, the elocution teacher, they planned a picnic at Loraine; they went in a band wagon and enjoyed the ride and the day in the woods very much. Of course, the good things to eat did not make their pleasure any less. On class day, they nobly did their parts with their songs and yells. Commencement came and went Examinations were over, and the Freshmen had become Sophomores. In September, 1903, they at once made their person- ality felt ; what scrapes they did get into ! Hear their yell: Boom-a-lacka — Boom-a-lacka — Bim — Bam — Bix Hurrah for the Class of Nineteen Six. Hip, hip, hip I hah, hah, hah I Wesleyan, Wesleyan, Rah, rah, rah ! 0-n-e, T-w-o, T-h-r-e-e Soph., soph.. Sophomores we. The poor physics teacher tore his h ir at the pranks of these Sophomores, who would not be dig- nified, who did not like physics “specially,” who groaned over his awful examinations, who could not name the parts of a bicycle, nor tell how to put it in working order. And as for geometry ! Why, one day, the teacher was detained a moment or two and when he arrived he was confronted with empty benches. The class had cut! What the professor said to them at their next recitation those naughty Sophomores have never told. Ah, no 1 As the spring days advanced, they began to plan to give to their firm friends, the Seniors, the biggest entertainment ever given at Wesleyan. Great preparations were made. The guests were re- ceived in the beautifully decorated parlors, and greeted with a song of welcome by the entire Sopho- more class. Tlie principal features of the entertain- ment were a merry Easter egg hunt, and a contest, the composition of a class yell. Miss Fannie Shef- field was awarded the prize, a gold hatpin, engraved with the numbers “ ’04-’06.” The Senior favors were white rabbits tied vith lavender ribbon; those of the Sophomores, tiny candy chickens. Miss Ver- dery Akin gave the toast to the Seniors. Miss Helen Roberts responded with this recipe: “Toasted Sopho- mores: Select material that is tender and trustful, thrust into an oven moderately heated with com- plaints and suspended privileges, but mercifully tem- pered with thin slices of sheepskin and a delicate seasoning of gold medals.” This delightful enter- tainment was brought to a close by a “Good-night Song,” sung by the Seniors. Of course, the never-absent Sophomores took an active part in Class Day. They marched in, wear- ing hoops, wound with green leaves, over their shoul- ders, to the words of this song: “Yum, yum, fiddle diddle bum, hump stump, flum-a-diddle, ara bubble, rigdum, jigdum, body mody, Cairo, Dilco Diro, yum yum, fiddle diddle bum!” They gave their song and laid their hoops at the Senior s feet. In ’04 they returned to Wesleyan as Juniors! Though feeling the weight of Junior dignity, they took their accustomed part in the gaieties and labors of college life, and were soon at the front, striving to 23 be first in everything; to have the best basket-ball team, the best lessons, the best entertainments, and the most fun. The lavender and white was fioated on every occasion; the basket-ball team was soon acknowledged to be one of the best in school and this fact was demonstrated by their winning two out of the three challenge games, defeating the Specials and Sophomores. The J unior-Senior challenge game was the event of the basket-ball season. After a plucky fight, the Juniors were defeated. The Seniors enter- tained the two teams in the ‘gym’ that night with a little feast in which good will was everywhere mani- fest. They proved that they were wide awake by being the first to get sweaters for their team, first to have a photograph of team made, and first to get class pennants. Chemistry had now taken the place of physics, and they told the Sophomores: Just wait imtil you take chemistry, then you may talk of having hard work. Why, in that old laboratory we have to do all kinds of work, wear rubber aprons, mix acids and stuff, and lots of it is deadly poison ; you all are too young to handle dangerous work. I tell you, we have to study now, and as for literature, wait til you have to write an original paper on such subjects as Savage Animalism is nothing; Inventive Spiritual- ism is slV Wait til you take Logic and Political Economy; why, iPs simply awful In November, they gave an autumn entertainment to the Freshmen, The parlors were suggestive of the woods, quantities of autumn leaves being effectively used, together with palms, ferns, and a profusion of yellow chrysanthemums, which charmingly repre- sented the Freshmen colors, which are green and gold, a graceful compliment to the guests of the evening. Aiter the guests had assembled, ‘T)roken quotations” were distributed. Next came a guessing contest, in which the rhyming conundrums were to be answered by names of trees. The prize, a lovely hatpin in the design of an enameled autumn leaf, was awarded to Miss Martha Weaver, a member of the class of ’04, so dear to J imior hearts. The unanimous verdict of the guests was these Juniors know how.” In February the Juniors were entertained by the Freshmen, who celebrated the Japanese victories by giving a Japanese tea. Just before the North Georgia Conference met, Prof. LaPrade, the Logic teacher, resigned to resume his duties in the ministry. In token of their appre- ciation of his work, the Juniors gave him a beautiful silver pitcher and goblet. The class is always awake on benevolent enterprises, so it pledged $75 to the Susannah Wesley Memorial, and its members are active in mission and T. W. C. A. work. Confident that we have the best girls in the best class in the best college in the best world, we wave high the lavender and white, and leave you with the best wishes of the class of ’06.

The class of this year, at the beginning of the fall term of ’04 had about forty members, a number which, for various reasons, has been subject to fluctua- tions, but which has never been decreased materially. One of our number tried another college after Christ- mas, but she liked us so well that it was not long before she returned. I said that the Sophomore has always been the most ardent class of girls in college ; end the class of this year is not different in this re- spect from those whi have preceded it All through the term they have shown their lively spirit in every line, especially in social circles and in athletics. The class first manifested their ardor socially, near the banning of the fall term when the Seniors were invited to spend an afternoon at Crump’s Park, “slid- ing the slide.” The Seniors accepted, of course, and both classes, chaperoned by several of the teachers, boarded tbe cars, and went to the park, where they spent an after- noon in merrymaking. The Seniors all forgot their newly acquired dignity for that afternoon, and the slide was kept busy for about three hours, the woods all around ringing with the screams and laughter of the merrymakers. At diristmas the Seniors invited the Sophomores to a Christmas-tree, on which was found an appropriate gift for each girl, which was presented by Santa Claus. In athletics the Sophomores were hard to beat, even by the Juniors. Everybody has surely heard of the Sophomore basket-ball team. If they have not they should have, because the team did some playing that was worthy of acknowledgment. Even tbe Juniors found it rather a diflBcult task to win a game from the Sophomores ; but they would not tell it. At the Junior-Sophomore game, the loyal Freshmen did all that their lungs would permit to aid the Juniors, but they mi t have save l their yells for some other occasion for they pive the Juniors no assistsnee. In the class-rooni the Sophomores have made a reo- ord even more brilliant than that made in the draw- ing-room and in the athletic field, but it will be un- necessary to tell you all tbe trials and joys that have beset the path, for I am sure that every class historian who has ever written has told them all, and they are always the same. It will be enough to say that in our phomore year the joys have over-balanced the sorrows and that we feel sure that in coming years we shall be able to look back upon this period as one of the happiest of our lives. 26 i i i i CLASS OF ' 08 Flowbb: Marechalniel rose CoLOEs : Oreen and yellow Officers Maybells Jones .

When Wesleyan opened last September, eighteen miserable, homesick girls began work as the smallest class in college. But we have shown that it is the who” and not the ‘ how many’’ that counts. As is customary, the first important step that we took was the election of class oflSoers, and in this we got along beautifully. You might ask those two Sophomores who were peeping at the window, how we settled the only little dispute which arose. Their help, however, was not especially needed; they only wanted to make us appear ‘ rather fresh.” Our class reception in March was a great success and everyone there thought it was ‘ dead cute.” In athletics — well, I hardly think that I can praise our basket-ball team enough ! We surely did do some wonderful work before Christmas. Wo beat every team that we ran up against” except the Specials, and they beat us only once. Now isn’t that an en- viable record for a basket-ball team? In the class-room we have shown ourselves as well fitted for the year’s hard work as in athletics, so it goes without saying that our record has been un- equaled. The fact that this is the history of the Class of ’08 is evidence that the record of the Freshman year of the Class of ’08 is finished. It has been a successful year as you have seen, and we are confidently looking forward to even greater glories in the future. When we reach the goal may we be able to show to the ‘ Big Seniors” of ’04 that their ‘Tittle Seniors” have care- fully guarded the trust confided to them, and have kept the orange and green waving over a united and l yal class. Only one game ever played and that was with the Specials. 28 r Wilson, Macon Wilson, Macon SPECIAL CLASS Motto: Drifting, not roving. CoLOBs: Oold and purple.

President Vice-President Secretary Treasurer Sergeant-at-Arms jlr J HISTORY OF SPECIAL CLASS Where shall we begin to speak of the possibilities of the Specialists ? ; for this twentieth century is the century of specialists, two hundred and sixty-two of which may be found at Wesleyan. This organiza- tion had its birth in 1904, Miss Pearl Seers of Val- dosta being the first president. Great enthusiasm was manifested at once after organization, and now we can say that we are the only class at Wesleyan. Volumes could easily be written about this ‘wonder- ful body,” all of whom are prodigies. Our colors are purple and gold, representing royalty and real worth. Our motto — “Drifting, not roving” — is cer- tainly characteristic. We are the rambling, jolly, gay and giddy girls, and as such we are proud to have the honored name “Specials” given to us. Can not you, without a moment s hesitation, con- trast us with those whose motto is “Duty before pleasure,” “Do not put off until to-morrow what you can do to-day.” “The early bird catches the worm.” We enjoy life, and never worry over anything; and like all driftwood, we float do vn the stream in some old way, at some old time. If we can work and play with plenty of time to chat with out friends “occasionally,” it s only living up to the old adage, “all work and no play makes Jack a dull boy.” Our class deserves especial mention for the fact, it has always been the social leader during the past two years. Our banquets and entertainments have never yet been surpassed. We have taken the lead, too, in the athletics of the College, winning the cham- pionship in tennis, baseball, and basket-ball. We shall receive from the trustees at the approach- ing commencement, all the diplomas given in the art department, and seven of the twelve diplomas given in the conservatory of music. “By their fruits shall ye know them.” Our principle is to work by contraries, for “ tis a poor rule that will not work both ways.” For in- stance, ‘Early to bed and early to rise makes a man healthy, wealthy and wise.” Well, we are late to bed, and very late to rise, but we are just as healthy and the wisest people here, and have money to bum. “Specials, Specials, finest at Wesleyan, Specials, Specials, best in the lot; While the others are pining We, the Specials, are shining — Seniors, Juniors, Sophs, and Fresh, WeVe got you ‘skinned a block. ” 29 LELLA S BABIES Alice Bonnell Alma Mitchell Officers of Senior Academy Class . .

Treasurer Monthly meeting last Sunday night of every month. The Wesleyan Missionary Society, which is the first Juvenile Missionary Society of the Methodist Episcopal Church South, was organized in 1881 by the late Mrs. Juliana Hayes, president of the Wo- man’s Board of Missions. This is a voluntary association managed and con- ducted by the girls and such members of the College family as choose to engage in it The dues a re for- warded to the Woman’s Board of Missions, and otner money and voluntary contributions are disposed of as the society thinks best. Wesleyan stands not only the ‘ Pioneer college for the higher education of woman,” but more than thirty years before there was such an organization as the Woman’s Foreign Missionary Society, this ‘‘mother of colleges” had trained her daughters and sent them to the uttermost parts of the earth with the message of peace and love. As early as 1848 Julia Jewett heard the call, “come over and help us,” and she car- ried the light of the gospel into “Darkest Africa.” Later she was followed by her sister, Eliza Jewett. In 1859 Mary Houston, the bride of noble Young J. Allen, was seven months crossing the Pacific in a sail-boat, to reach their work in China. While Wesleyan looks with pride to those former students of the College who went into foreign fields, she turns with equal pride to the home-land, where hundreds of her children bless the world in their ef- forts to uplift humanity.

YOUNG WOMEN ' S CHRISTIAN TEMPERANCE UNION During the fall of 1903, Mrs. Adah Wallace Unruh of Portland, Oregon, organized at Wesleyan a Y. W, C. T. U. This is a part of the new move- ment all over the United States to organize Unions in the colleges. In honor of Lady Henry Somerset, the loved president of the world’s W. C. T. U., the college ‘ Y’s” are called ‘‘Somerset Y’s.” The Wesleyan Somerset Y. was the first organized in our State; LaGrange following a week later. The work of the College “Y” is chiefly educational — questions along the lines of temperance works are studied, one even- ing of the twilight service each week being devoted to a certain topic, embracing character studies, depart- ments of work, Christian development and setting forth the aims and purposes of the “Y” work. The correspondence carried on between our “Y” and other “Somerset Y’s” has been very encouraging and we have exchanged many good suggestions.

Chocolate Fudge First it is desirable to borrow a chafing-dish. Ma- tron will supply the alcohol if a sick enough tale can be put up. If this is not possible, cooking over the gas is permissible. Steal the sugar, beginning a few days beforehand. When asked what is in the doily, put up a tale about a sick room-mate. Milk is de- sirable. If it can not be obtained, water flavored with listerine may be substituted. Assemble a se- lect company of kindred spirits, plackard the door with ‘‘Strictly Private, ’ seat the guests around the chafing-dish upon whatever articles of furniture may be convenient, and begin. Put into the chafing-dish 2 cups sugar 1 cup milk (or water) Butter size of nut Chocolate to taste. Heat over Bunsen flame for ten minutes. Pour up in the bowl, cut with paper-cutter or penknife, and serve hot. Next morning at 6:30 join your pious room-mate, who sat on a trunk in the hall while the feast was in progress, in raising sand over the state of the bowl. Ocmulgee river water is so muddy. Gelatine Collect all the glasses on your floor and arrange in line on the window-sill. Wet the Jell-0, fill glasses and leave in window all night. It is best to make it on the side of the annex toward the laundry, as soot, gives it an appetizing flavor. Lie abed until 8 o’clock in the morning and punctuate your dressing with spoonfuls. Pop-corn Let the hostess do the work. Balance a chair on four books, mount cautiously, taking care not to spill the com. Pop over Bimsen flame. (Every student of chemistry should be able to manipulate the burner). If the process is too long, it is not necessary to have it all popped. A few raw grains will aid the digestion. Fried Eggs Of course you must have eggs, which can be ob- tained at the “little store” for twenty cents per dozen. Butter may be obtained as was the sugar in the forcing recipe. A metallic pin-tray heats rapidly, and to keep the hands from burning, it may be easily held with curling-tongs. Break the egg in toothbrush stand, stir vigorously with pencil. The pin-tray should hold one tablespoonful at a time. After heating the egg several minutes, salt and eat while hot. The top of a talcum box will serve as a spoon. 37 A GLOSSARY OF WESLEYAN SLANG Blooming, adj. — Simply used for emphasis. Chapel, n. — Religious service for the purpose of making announcements.

But the founders builded much better and much wiser even than they knew. They could not know that they were setting in motion a train of influences that would be felt beyond the confines of civilization, and would play a definite and important part in the shaping of the world s history. The mag- nitude of the undertaking was vastly greater than the casual reader may suppose, for it was before the conveniences of modem travel, and the only means of raising money for founding the college was by public contributions. Georgia and Alabama were not intersected, as now, by railroads, nor was jour- nalism perfected as now, so those friends of woman mounted their horses and traveled from one end of the country to the other, in order to get the attention of the public ear and to solicit funds. Foremost among the men to originate the idea of this college was Dr. Lovick V. Pierce, who, from the first and even to the close of his life, was the loyal friend of the Institution. He was appointed travel- ing agent by the projectors of the college, who had placed it under the protection of the Georgia Confer- ence of the Methodist Episcopal Church. For two years he traveled, and what difficulties he encountered, how many adverse criticisms and posi- tive objections he met with will only be revealed when Time becomes Eternity. Some of the most trivial and absurd protests were made, and the higher educa- tion of women was openly laughed at. At last, through the unselfish and untiring devotion of its founders, the enterprise w as successful, and the In- stitution became by charter the Georgia Female Col- lege. The first official record is of the following names, appointed in 1836, to act as Trustees: James O. Andrew, John W. Tally, Samuel K. Hodges, Lovick Pierce, Ignatius A. Few, Alexander Speer, William Arnold, Thomas Sanford, William J. Parks, George F. Pierce, Elijah Sinclair, Henry G. Lamar, Jere Cowles, Ossian Gregory, Robert Col- lins, E. Hamilton, George Jewett, Henry Soloman, Augustus B. Longstreet, Walter T. Colquitt, Jas. A. Nisbet, Robert Augustus Beall. In Jime, 1838, the Trustees elected a president and one professor and the other professors and offi- cers the following ITovember. The site of the build- ing was beautiful Encampment Hill, since known as College Hill, which is one of the highest hills that crowns the Ocmulgee. On January 7, 1839, with the following Faculty, it began its work: Rev. G. F. Pierce, President and Professor of English Literature. Rev. W. H. Ellison, Professor of Mathematics. Rev. T. B. Slade, Professor of Natural Science. Rev. S. Mattison, Principal of Preparatory Depart- ment B. B. Hopkins, Tutor. John Euhink, Professor in Music. Miss Lord, First Assistant in Music. Miss Massey, Second Assistant in Music. Mrs. Shelton, Matron. Mrs. Kingman, Department of Domestic Economy. A. R. Freeman, Steward. The opening of the College was even then regarded as an epoch in the history of the age. John C. But- ler, in the history of Macon, says: ‘It was an oc- casion of great interest, and deep and thrilling ex- citement. A large and respectable number of citi- zens of Macon assembled in the College Chapel to witness the opening exercises. The hopes and the plans of the friends of the College, and the specula- tions of its enemies, and the eager delight of the congregated pupils, all conspired to invest the serv- ices with an interest additional to its intrinsic im- portance.” O n the first day ninety young ladies enrolled their names as pupils, and during the term the number was increased to one hundred and sixty-eight. The views of the great and good men who started this enter- prise were too liberal for the cramped financial con- dition of the age. They, themselves, became respon- sible for the salaries of the professors and officers, and debts were incurred and accumulated. Credi- tors threatened to close the doors of the Institution and take away every chance of higher education for women. The College was actually sold and bought at sheriffs sale and turned over to the Georgia Annual Conference of the Methodist Episcopal Church. The president and Faculty of the Georgia Female College resigned and were immediately elected to fill similar places in the Wesleyan Female College, the new name given to the Institution. The College was saved from an entire f ailure largely by the extraordinary efforts of Rev. Samuel Anthony and William H. Ellison. They went to Mr. William Scott, of Vineville, and asked him to suggest a means by which the College could be continued. It was through his advice that the present plan was settled on. The original Board of Trustees of Wesleyan Female College were as fol- lows: W. H. Ellison, James O. Andrew, Lovick Pieree, William J. Parks, Samuel Anthony, G. F. Pierce, 39 John W. Tally, Peyton R. Smith, Alfred T. Mann, John P. Duncan, James E. Evans, N. B. Powell, James Dean, Peter Solomon, William Scott. In the first Faculty there were only four profes- sorships. Of course all the other branches were taught, but the work was divided among the other teachers. In 1859, the graduates of the College, wishing to revive friendships formed in their girlhood, and to contribute to the prosperity of their Alma Mater, formed themselves into an association called the Alumnae Association of Wesleyan Female College.” Alumnae meetings are held triennially. Mrs. C. E. Benson, the first graduate, still lives in Macon and takes a great deal of interest in the College from w ' hich she graduated. During the war between the States, after other in- stitutions of learning had closed their doors, Wes- leyan was not at any time suspended. The bell was taken down and moulded into balls for the Confed- erate army, but was replaced by one of St. MichaeFs chimes. In 1881, Mr. George Ingram Seney of Brooklyn, N. Y., donated $125,000 to the College as a loving tribute to his mothers memory. Of this amount he designated $50,000 as a permanent endowment of two chairs, one to be called the ‘‘Lovick Pierce Chair of Ma thematics and Astronomy;” the other was called by the Trustees in his honor, the ‘‘Seney Chair of Mental and Moral Science.” The remain- der of the gift was used in improving the grounds and building. Appreciating the gifts and the noble Christian character, the Faculty, by sanction and hearty approbation of the Board of Trustees of Wesleyan, set apart May 12, Mr. Seney s birthday, as a regular College anniversary, to be known in the College Calendar as “Benefactor’s Day,” and to be annually celebrated with appropriate literary and musical exercises. The girls hold Mr. Seney in lov- ing memory, not only for the comforts that surround them, but for the pleasure of having another holiday. In the beginning, no holidays were observed except Christmas, but now to the Calendar have been added Thanksgiving Day, Memorial Day and Benefactor’s Day. The last is now observed as Senior Class Day, and class spirit and feeling run high on May 12. In 1897 Wesleyan adopted lavendar and purple as colors and learned a yell. The following commence- ment, while the Trustees were in session, a crowd of returning picknickers arrived at the College and horrified the Trustees by giving the yell I A message was sent at once from that august body that in public, Wesleyan girls must be seen and not heard. In 1873 Mrs. Annie E. Carlyle, the first and only music graduate of that year, received her diploma. The first woman to receive a diploma in Art at Wes- leyan was Mrs. Ella Barnes Delacy. A diploma in Elocution was given in 1907 to Mary Lyndon. Wes- leyan will confer a second degree upon Miss Aline Bradley this year. The Trustees provided for courses in bookkeeping, stenography and typewriting about twenty years ago. Miss Ola Bond was the first graduate in violin, being awarded a diploma in 1903. For years, it was the custom to confer the degree of A.M. upon graduates ten years after they had graduated; this, however, was discontinued in 1886. Wesleyan now offers the following degrees : Literary, A.B., B.L. ; Music (piano, voice, violin), B.M. ; Art, B.A.P, et L ; Elocution, B.A.E. When a required course in any branch is completed a certi- ficate is awarded to that effect. A great deal of excitement was created when the B.L. course was instituted. N ' ewspaper reporters got the impression that it was some honorary degree or special distinction and devoted half a column to the subject. The two graduates in this degree were showered with praises and congratulations. In 1900 the Board of Trustees decided to erect a new dormitory in order to provide for the students applying for admission. This building was completed in 1901 at a cost of $125,000. The ground floor is devoted to the Academy and the departments of Natural Science and History. Work on the Susannah Wesley Memorial is now progressing rapidly, and a new recitation building looms in the near future. Wesleyan has had over two thousand graduates, while her matriculates would show an enrollment to the thousands and thousands. The matriculation book for 1904-5 shows an enrollment of 464, and the boarding department composes a family of 230 girls, besides teachers and officers of the College. It would seem to a casual reader that in such a large household the family life would be eliminated, but this is by no means true, for the teachers and pupils form a complete family in the large dining-room, and the comradeship between them keeps bright the spirit of the home altar. Teachers always make the troubles of the students their own, and a girl in trouble never hesitates to go to them for sympathy. The student government has not yet been adopted at Wesleyan, still the honor system is emphasized and the disci- pline is liberal as a Woman’s College should be. This College, while under the control of the Metho- dist Episcopal Church, employs teachers of any de- nomination, desiring quality above all else. Stu- dents are both allowed and encouraged to attend the Sunday-school and church of their own denomina- tion and affiliate with the people of that sect, so that, though they are away from homo, the church rela- tionship remains unbroken. 40 PI Isl f I The College Choir J.

The president caught frantic- ally at her book and exclaimed : Somebody ask him a question!’ ' The motion, due to the lobbying of the General Encourager, was seconded and unani- mously carried. The minutes of the Secretary had to be referred to in order to see who questioned last time. It was found that it was the General Interrog- ator’s day. After the calling of the roll, she promptly propounded this question: ‘‘Professor, I don’t see how they know that the sun really is bright and hot How is it?” There being no further business, the meeting adjourned at the expiration of forty-five minutes with the problem only half solved. Thursday, 8:10 a. m. — Ditto. Friday, 8 :10 a. m. — ' A terrible catastrophe befell the club to-day — our beloved interrogator has left us since her stock of questions was exhausted and she could not stand to see herself succeeded by any of her jealous rivals. Will we ever find her equal f 52 Wilson, Macon LrcKY Number A LETTER FROM THOMAS JEFFERSON This letter was found among a mass of ship-papers in the attic of a house owned by a sea captain who sailed to the Mediterranean. At that time letters were often entrusted to private hands, but there is evidence that before this one reached its destination the ship was wrecked and its papers saved by the captain. After lying in concealment for fifty years, the letter was discovered and sold to an autograph collector, but it has never been published. L. J • L. ‘ A few days ago I received a letter from M. Mare- chal. Archbishop of Baltimore, in which he informs me that, besides your friendly expressions toward me, on his leaving Paris some years ago, you had, in a letter of September last, made kind inquiries after myself and my family. I feel a pleasure, as well as a duty in answering these myself. ‘ Since my retirement in 1809 from all public duties, I have enjoyed uninterrupted good health, and retain as much activity of body and mind as at the age of se venty-four we have a right to expect. My eldest daughter, who had the honor of being known to you in Paris, lives also, and is in good health, and has blessed me with many grandchildren, and some of these have commenced another generation. My last information from yourself directly was by the return of two young Americans, educated at Rome, who bore witness to your friendly patronage of them, and brought me from you the two exquisite engravings of Belisarius and Moncada, chef d oeuvres of that art, which, placed among the ornaments of my house, re- new to me daily the memory of your friendship dur- ing the terrible revolutions of Europe. I felt great anxiety for you and have never yet learned with cer- tainty how far they affected you. Your letter to the archbishop being from Rome, and so late as Septem- ber, makes me hope that all is well, and thanks be to God, the tiger who revelled so long in the blood and spoils of Europe, is at length, like another Prometheus, chained to his rock, where the vulture of remorse for his crimes will be preying on his vitals, and in like manner without consuming them. Having been, like him, entrusted with the happiness of my country, I feel the blessing of resembling him in no other point. I have not caused the death of five or ten millions of human beings, the devastation of other countries, the depopulation of my own, the exhaustion of all its re- sources, the destruction of its liberties, nor its foreign subjugation ; all this he has done to render more illus- trious the atrocities perpetrated for adorning himself and his family with plundered diadems and sceptres. On the contrary, I have the consolation to reflect that during the period of my administration, not a drop of the blood of a single fellow-citizen was shed by the sword of war, or of the law, and that after cherishing for eight years their peace and prosperity, I laid down their trust of my own accord, and in the midst of their blessings and importunities to continue in it, but be- ginning to be sensible to the effects of age, I feared that its infirmities might injure their interests and believed the example would be salutory against in- veteration in oflSce ; and I now enjoy in retirement the comfort of their good will, and of a conscience calm and without reproach. I have thus, my dear Car- dinal, given you the information you have requested, and nothing but that request could have justified so much egotism. In return you can not gratify me so much as by saying as much to me of yourself, in whose welfare I take a cordial interest. ‘‘Before closing my letter I will take the liberty of requesting that if Mr. George Tickner, a young American, should yet be in Rome, as I think is pos- sible, you will do me the favor of extending to him your countenance and protection while there. His science, his talents, the worth and correctness of his character, place him among the ornaments and the hopes of our country; and my particular friendship for him will add, I trust, a motive the more for your notice of him. I should have given him a letter to you, but that having been three years on his travels through Europe, I could not with certainty convey it to him. He was to pass the present winter in Italy, and chiefly at Rome, and I fear indeed he may have left it before he can receive this proof of my atten- tion to him, or of your friendship to me; in every event, however, accept my dear Cardinal, the assur- ance of my constant and affectionate friendship and the homage of my high consideration.
