THE FIRST STATE INTER-COLLEGIATE TRACK MEET To Wesleyan must be given the credit not only for promoting, but also for winning the first inter-collegiate track meet ever held in West Virginia. This meet was held on Wesleyan ' s athletic field on May 30, 1912. All the colleges and higher institutions of learning in the state were represented, but Wesleyan easily won the meet with a lead of eighteen points over her nearest competitor. THE FIRST VICTORY OVER THE STATE UNIVERSITY Such a brace did Wesleyan ' s athletics take in VM2, that even the State University, which for years had been using Wesleyan as a piac- tice game, were decisively defeated in their annual clash on the grid- iron by the score of 19 to 14. This was the beginning of a regular an- nual occurrence, and Wesleyan ' s victories over Morgantown are no longer surprises, but are looked upon as a matter of fact.

If you cannot on the ocean Sail among the swiftest fleet. Rocking on the highest billows. Laughing at the storms you meet. You can stand among the sailors. Anchored yet within the hay. You can lend a hand to help them. As they launch their boats away. If you are too weak to journey, L ' ] the mountain steep and high. You can stand within the valley, While the multitudes go by. You can chant in happy measure. As they slowly pass along: Though they may forget the singer. They will not ferget the song. 10
