Albert £. Hitmobrrya WE DEDICATE THIS VOLUME of THE MURMURMONTIS Because we admire him as a kind. Chris- tian gentleman, with wide interests and generous gifts to many worthy projects, deeply interested in Christian emphasis, very prominent and successful in business. He has done much for the state, for Charleston, and for Wesleyan College. Faithful, steady, positive, deep, humble, versatile, and sincere are words char- acterizing his personal attributes and attitudes. f t FOREWORD y With a desire to make this MURMURMONT1S a simple record of our college life for the year, rather than a crown- ing effort in the realm of litera- ture or art, we present to our fellow students a life-long re- minder of never-to-be-forgot- ten days; to our alumni, a rec- ord of progress ; and to strang- ers, a faithful, though incom- plete, representation of life on Wesleyan ' s campus. To those who, through their aid, have made this volume possible, we extend our sincere thanks and appreciation. The Editor. STAFF Wayne B.

(o you for whom Wesleyan looms tn a not far distant yesterday; to you for whom Wesleyan is yet in th? promise of tomorrow, we dedi- cate these views. Perhaps they may bring back a recollection d mmed with years; mayhap pro- vok? a smile of recent memories, or even bring a wistful dream into so:ne quiet young eyes. And if =ome one or two of you. in gazing al these pages, slowly-turned, shall pause betimes and smile and then sigh, remembering dim. cool halls; sun-flecked walks; and the mellow peal of the old bell—then it is not in vain these memories have been .liven you.

Lyceum Course The course offered during the season 1924-25 was the most successful in the His- tory of the College Lyceum Course at Wesleyan, due to the wise selection of the talent by the committee from last year. The talent was furnished by the Coit-Alber Lyceum Bureau, of Cleveland, ( )hio. Onlj one change in the program, as originally arranged, needed to be made. Due to the impossibility of arranging a mutual!) favorable date for the Fenwiclt Newell Company, their date had to he canceled, and the Metropolitan Quartet substituted. Metropolitan Grand Quartet.

Muzzy Instructor in Voia Altyn Elliott Professor in Violin and Ensemble I.THOl GH the conservatorj at West Virginia Wesleyan has always hrlil tci higher standards musically and artistically, added energy and enthusiasm lias featured that phase of our college life this year. This is usuall] the case when a new dean and tacultv in that department appear. Mr. Camp W. Foltz, a graduate of America ' s largest conservatory, the New England Conservatory, in Boston, and a pupil also oi Philipp, in Paris — who is the outstanding piano pedagogue of Europe at the pro ent time — is the new dean of the conservatory. The bulletin will show a slight change, especially in the featuring of soloists ' and teachers ' courses onlv, in the piano department. Public school music courses will be more strongly featured than ever before in Wesleyan. Mr. Foltz is the director of the Men ' s ( flee Club, which has a program of unusual musical and dramatic interest. A chorus choir from all the churches of Buckhannon, with some college students, rendered adaptation of the chorus and solo parts from Handel ' s Messiah on the cc ond Sundaj evening before Christmas. It is hoped that this will become a Wo leyan tradition. I he year ' s work of the conservatory really climaxes in the National Music Week, in May. when college and town turn all attention to the muse of Orpheus. The violin department is headed by a capable, energetic, and sincere new teacher, Mr. Altyn Elliott, who is a graduate of Kansas University Conservatory, and has hail artist ' s coaching with some of the best artists in Chicago and New York City. lie has reorganized ami enlarged the orchestra. It has aided most fundamentally in choral efforts under Mr. Foltz ' s baton, such as the cantatas Ruth. Messiah, etc.. and in individual concert work, assisting in plays given, and in Saturday chapel musical programs. Mr. Elliott is not only an experienced teacher and a pleasing soloist, but has made an immediate impression as a serious teacher. The vocal department, under the direction of Mr. Muzzy, of Boston, Paris, and London background, has added much to the twilight recitals on the third Tuesdaj of every month, and in various noveltv programs, and in operatic work. The Girls ' Glee Club, under Mr. Mu zv ' s direction, gives only the best type of musical pro- grams, and makes an annual trip, as does the Men ' s Glee Club.

Early in the tall term the Council was given a chapel period, at which two members from the student body and two members from the Council gave in full our constitutio n anil plan of student government, and the purpose and aim of the Council. During the year steps were taken to revise freshmen rules, to perfect the point system, and to make possible the publication of a Wesleyan Handbook. An amendment to the constitution was made covering laws for the organization of a permanent Thuse Club. A standing committee was appointed to remember mem- bers of the student body who are injured or become ill during the school year. The work of the Council is of importance to the future growth of Wesleyan. Although student government here is still young, it has passed beyond the experi mental stage. It has won the confidence of the students and faculty, and has proved its rights to an important place in the life and activities of Wesleyan.

This year has seen her name put down in large print all over the United States. It all marks a step in the gradual progress of this little mountain school that in the future will be looked back upon by many and said, Our forefathers built solidly the foundation oi Old Wesleyan. With the athletic season of 1924-25 fast drawing to a close, one cannot but feel optimistic. Through the struggles of early organization and of re- building an athletic system, once the greatest in West Virginia, but sacrificed during war times, Wesleyan athletics have again climbed to the mountain top, from where one can see an even greater future in the years to come. Topping the best teams of the East, South, Southwest, and the films still blazing its success in the Midwest, Wesleyan is bound to be recognized as a builder of men, both physically and mentally. With the proposed athletic field still going with leaps and bounds toward fulfill- ment, and the roads that will be completed this summer, opening up the whole east with the central part of West Virginia, the people all over the country are looking forward to the seeing of big athletic events on College Field. This year ' s success having forced national recognition, will pave the way for even greater recognition in each year to come, in the collegiate athletic circles. The sched- ules arranged for 1925-26 show that Wesleyan is striving for an ever greater place in the athletic world. The present athletic system, founded on sound basic principles, stands for clean, constructive athletics — athletics that will help build a better and bigger Wesleyan. It is hoped that since Robert Higgins, present coach and founder of this system, is leaving, that a prodigy or coach of the same principles will be selected to carry on the work he leaves to go elsewhere. Wesleyan will carry on. and always toward the higher and the best. 19 IIUii£ ■26 fls ■ r fe ■ ■ i. a , igi !!!!

Wot Virginia won, 21 to 6, Red king ' s 70-yard run ten a touch- down being tin- feature of this game. This plaj w as important in that it gave the first evidence of a powerful attack, for king crashed through the center of the line tor his brilliant inn. Though starting with defeat, the team smiled, and, save for one unluck] afternoon, when the bench was tilled with cripples, played the remaining nine games without another hiss. The magnificent leadership which brought the team from the chaos of defeat tn hask in the sunlight of national attention after the greatest toothall season VVesleyan ever had. speaks for itself. Being defeated h West Virginia means little when one pauses to reflect on the victories over the Navy and Syracuse Universitj ! The success of the season made true a dream dreamed hv Coach Bob fiiggins, Coach Miller, and VVesleyan. Coach Kelcel Ross, who left Wesleyan to take a degree in law, did not labor 111 vain while he was a member of the coaching staff in )22 and 1923, when the foundation for the 1924 team was laid. Main times in the past twentj years Wesleyan has almost defeated some of the stronger ot the hasten) elevens. Victories were won from West irginia, but the crown of victory seemed ihv.u s just beyond reach. (. ' null Higgins believed that a team could he built which could hold its own with  I1J toothall eleven in the country. This enthusiasm and belief was caught up by the other coaches and the team, and one sunny afternoon in October, at historic Annap- olis, Maryland, Wesleyan fought its wax through the crust ot gridiron aristocraC) and sent the powerful I nitcd States Naval Acadenn team tottering to defeat. Wesleyan 10, Na 7, was the story punted in every newspaper over the conti- nent on Sunday, October 26. After twentj years ot effort, Wesleyan had entered the circle ot national toothall lame, hut not without cost. Weihl, Dietrich and others of the arsit squad, the smallest 111 seven years, were injured. I hen came the mightj Waynesburg College team, and a discouraging 14 to 2 defeat. I he Yellow Jackets defeated Wesleyan 14 to 2, and Wesleyan does not alibi. Smarting from defeat, but with a grim determination to again come tn the front, the team journeyed to Syracuse to meet the undefeated Big Orange eleven. Syracuse had toppled Pennsylvania State, had tied Pitt, after the Panthers defeated West Vir- ginia t niversity, and were favored to win the Eastern collegiate toothall champion ship. Few will forget the long hours ot waiting that eventful afternoon until tin- wires finallj brought the flash that sent Wesleyan people into the streets shouting, 19 %i£ 16 — w ' — V f i ' ! ■ MURMURMONT1S - 1976 T ,48 19 w. 16 3 ' ! • MURMURMONTI 1976 T caused parades and cheering, while newspapers over the country carried the two great upsets ol the Fast in collegiate Football, gleaming in great headlines: Princeton i . Harvard O, West Virginia Wesleyan 7. Syracuse I niversity 3. The team had come back for Wesleyan gloriously. Wesleyan had already defeated Broaddus, a clean but hard-fighting eleven which gained the respect of the world last season, 34 to ( . Salem had gone down before the Orange and Black standards, 41 to b. Proud Marietta had been stunned with a 20 to I ' defeat. Following the Syracuse victory, Wesleyan was followed nationally, and from November X until New ' tear ' s Day, Wesleyan went undefeated. Following the defeat of the Orange, Wesleyan met Bethany College at Clarks- burg, and. on a mud-covered held, sent the Hison machine down to defeat. i ' i to 6. Next came the Thanksgiving Day game, with Favis and Elkins College. Again the Wesleyan attack was handicapped by a muddy field, but, after a terrific battle. Captain Bullman and his cohorts emerged victors by a 12 to 7 score. The season as scheduled ended here, hut insistent demands by Wesleyan alumni living in Southern West Virginia for a post-season game caused a game to be arranged between Kentucky State University and Wesleyan. Kentucky had held Center College to a 7 to score, and were rated a good opponent for the Higgins-coached eleven. The teams met in West Virginia ' s capital on December 6, Wesleyan winning. 24 to 7, in a brilliant game in which Freka ' s runs, one tor 71 1 yards, the other tor 90, stood out among the best performances of the year. I he success of the Wesleyan eleven had reached all over the country at this time. When representatives of Southern Methodist University, of Dallas. Texas, winners ol the Southwestern Conference title, cast about for a good opponent for the annual Dixie football classic for New Year ' s Day, Knute Rockne, coach of the national col- legiate champions. Notre Dame, was approached. Notre Dame was closed to play Leland Stanford I niversitj mi the Pacific coast, so Rockne suggested that the Tcxans meet West Virginia Wesleyan, paying tribute to Wesleyan ' s team by saying: Wes- leyan has the best line in the East, and have defeated the Navy, Syracuse, ami Ken- tucky. Attn ;i canvass of Eastern teams, Wesleyan was invited to play in Dallas, Texas, on New Year ' s Day. The University of Pennsylvania was playing the I niversitj of California in the annual Tournament of Roses game at Pasadena, California. Notre Dame was playing Pop Warner ' s great I. eland Stanford eleven at Berkeley, Cali- fornia. West Virginia Wesleyan was playing Southern Methodist University ' s two years undefeated eleven at Dallas, Texas. New Year ' s morning came, and football followers throughout the country waited tor news from these three great ihtersec tional game s. Quoting a prominent news writer, whose article was read by thou- sands from the top lines of hundreds of sport pages, is what was said: Notre Dame. California, and West Virginia Wesleyan Win. 19 0tai£ 16 O OAe MURMURMON.TIS - 1926 T I liuiacjer rtoi ' rie t n j{%% t ?Anag r S   g ' ei ' 19 «ttf -26 -A. ■ ii nl-i .

The squad was small, even as in football, consisting of Captain Krause, guard; Weihl, guard; Bullman, center; Brinkman, forward; Corcoran, forward; Reiter, forward; Purdy, center; Kiskbaugh, forward; Comstock, guard; but each one of them were praised for their consistent playing. The record, as follows, tells little of the thrills that happened in each ot the contests, but does show the advancement ot this sport and the rewards ot hard work in its building from practically nothing a few years ago.

More interest was shown last season than for some time in the past. Tennis is a coming sport all over the country, ami Wesleyan hopes to do her part in boosting the game. To show that she is back of the movement, the Athletic Board has adopted tennis as one ot the tour major sports 1 the college. And again, the enthusiasm and support of the student body is strong, and it looks as though tennis is on Wesleyan ' s map to stay. Manager Hall arranged eight matches tor 1924, ot which only five were played, due to inclement weather. Wesleyan won tour of these matches, losing only to Salem College in a hard-fought match. 2 to 4. The other schools played were Broaddus, Marietta, and West Virginia I diversity. The men composing the team were: Daniel F. Westfali. .lev Hall. Eugene Modlin, and John Cobourn. The K)2S schedule is the strongest in the history of the school, including the Fol- lowing schools: West Virginia University, Duquesne University, Potomac State, Clarksburg Tennis Club, Pittsburgh University, and Carnegie School of Technology. 19 %||p 6 1 111 a a, i ■ 1 1 1 MURMURMONTIS - 1926 Baseball 1924 N [923 practically the whole baseball team graduated, but that did not discourage Coach Ross, and he started ill with the new timber tor M124 with a Mm, and with the able leading of Captain Knight.

Besides the hockey teams that were started a few years ago. Miss Nason has developed interclass basketball as well, and a wealth of material was found tor the varsity. Some track was taken up by the girls, and they showed themselves to be as enthusiastic as the boys for the sport. Although there are no intercollegiate games between the girls of the different colleges, the adoption of these different games for girls has created a desirable form of exercise for them, and shows the department is keeping abreast with the tendencies of modern times. 156 19 ataP 16 1 i ialOJFiSas ' i an  ti ilW ' ' J iul wwwfl .

In the class basketball games between the teams made up oi tin- varsit) and the different classes the girls played so well that it was a revelation. Much improvement has hern shown under the efficient supervision of Miss Nason. Next year will see greater progress in the girls ' department, for Miss Nason is untiring in her efforts to make this department interesting for the girls, as well as developing them physically and mentally. 19 W ■26 ke MURMURMOKTIS - 1926 Tournament John L. Teets, Director. I he state basketball tournament, annually conducted at West Virginia Wesleyan College, n;i- this year well named The Tournament of Tournaments. The 1925 state tourney followed eight sectional tournaments under the new tournament ruling made by the State High School Athletic Association. The winners and runners-up of each sectional meet played at Wesleyan on March 20 and 21 for the state title, the A and H Division idea of former years being carried out in the divisional tourneys as well as the state. Thirty-two teams, sixteen in Division A and sixteen in Division B, played for the titles of the two division- at this year ' s tournament. In two sparkling games, the one in Division A being the most spectacular in the history of the tournament, Wallace High School won the Division B championship from West Monongah High. In the third extra period of play, Huntington High School won the state championship from Wheeling High. The State Tournament this year was a success in everj way. The games were well planned, the director had built up an efficient organization, and citizens of Buckhannon and student-, at Weslevan combined every effort to take proper care of the state ' s most important and biggest high school athletic event. The thirteenth annual tournament will be held next year at about the same relative date a was this year ' s, hut, although it will be the thirteenth, there is no fear that the superstition regard- ing thirteen will have anything to do with the )if games. The development of the tournament; the state-wide interest taken in the event; the influence the tournament has had in developing basketball as a scholastic sport in West Virginia ; the splendid spirit of cooperation existing between high schools the State Association, and Wesleyan, all point to the fact that the West Virginia High School Basketball Tournament has become a state institution, and as such, the event has alreaih been placed on the 1926 state ' s athletic calendar. Wesleyan looks forward to again welcoming the teams and the hundreds of basketball enthusiasts back to Buckhannon next March. 158 19 %£ 16 Jok es 1 In i est men that are, you ken, Have never deemed it treason Tn re l a bit — and je t a bit — And balance up their reason.

The need for insurance is as old as i[ is universal and more urgent in hard times than in prosperous periods. The life insurance agent is his own master, controlling his own time, earning in exaci proportion to his successful effort, and finding no limit to the new applications of insurance to needs.
