ROBERT S. TRUESDALE 7 8 Cyrus B. Dawsey John L. McCall W. Frank Klugh W. Grady Hazel Daniel L. Betts Joseph Kennerly Davis Officers President Vice-President Secretary and Treasurer Prophet Poet . ' Historian Senior Class History ' ERY people of every clime has made an unwritten history, and this is quite as important as the records of kings and queens. There you will find locked the secrets of a nation ' s life, no memories of which have escaped the prison vaults of their hearts; but they linger there as sacred traditions, and are the sweetest of a nation ' s life. And so it is with the Class of 1910. Many of its reminiscences that shall, in future years, bring the greatest delight, will not be so much what we en- trust to these pages, but rather the things which we bury in our hearts. The friendships that we form and cherish ; the enemies that we make, but never hate — all these cannot be recorded, but they are the true history of this class. The Class of 1910 leaves the halls and campus of Wofford to bid a God be with you to all that will henceforth appear only as tender memories of the truly happy days there. ! A feeling of sadness, that is not without its pleasure, is present in all our hearts, and it is with gratitude and reverence we cherish the memory as one who, in our childhood days, guided our footsteps safely through difficulties, so do we turn with filling eyes and swelling hearts to bless thee, A ' of¥ord. _ ' None of us will ever forget that dark and dreary and rainy day of the eighteenth of September, 1906. Surely, we hoped, that this kind of day was no index to the brightness of the four long years we were to spend on Wofiford campus. On the next morning we went to chapel for the first time. To all of us this was a solemn, august, awe-inspiring occasion. It was the last time that Bishop Duncan was to be present at the opening of Wofford. The talk he gave us that day will ever remain bright and shining in our memory. It was full of sympathy, comfort, advice and inspiration to a boy just come from his home and loved ones, to be placed in new and untried environments. The Faculty, one by one in their turn, extended to us words of greeting and of welcome to the tune of twenty pages in this department, or thirty pages in that for the first recitation. We at once realized that we could have no time to frolic at Wofiford, but that here they did serious, earnest work, and plenty of it. We went on nicely with our work through the year, making a splendid record and doing high scholarship work. Before we knew it, June had come ; the trials and tribulations and much of the greenness and awkwardness of Freshmen had passed away, and now we were to return home to spend a happy vacation, with the proud thought that when we returned we would be Sophomores. The smnmer of 1907 seemed to pass very quickly, and it was not long before we were ready to continue our work. We returned with renewed zeal to resume our duties. How differently we felt from the year before! We were no longer sneered at as Freshmen ; we had passed through that stage of verdancy, and found ourselves wiser and better able to cope with the vast questions with which a Sophomore has to do. Our number was not so large now, as many, for various reasons, unknown to us, had played the part of deserters. It is true that some few joined our band this year, who have proved a help to us, but their iS Board of Trustees J. Lyles Glenn (1899), President Chester, S. C. Rev. E. T. Hodges (1896) S. C.

But, notwith- standing our loss, we toiled on, finding real pleasure each day in our work. We had very little to do with society this year, because we thought it would be a hindrance in performing our duties, but, at the conclusion of the Sophomore ex- aminations, which were distinctly literary and oratorical, we did engage in that glorious and magnificent reception given at the conclusion of this occasion, which was the crowning event of our Sophomore year. When we reached the Junior Class, we thought, of course, that we should have easy sailing to the end, but alas ! this was the busy year for us. We were facing a great many new duties in a serious way. We had lost that characteristic sense of importance of the Sophomore and had taken a more sober view of life and things. This year we won the trophy baseball cup. pjaseball, however, was not our only sport. We had a basket ball team, which never lost a game to any class. On the gridiron, having ranked at the top, it was also one of our num- ber this year who won the tennis championship to represent Wofford in the State contest. After three years of hard work, we have entered upon our last year. We realized that grave responsibilities were resting upon us, and we assumed such an air as becometh dignified Seniors. It is not our purpose to exaggerate or dwell at too great length on the fame of the Class of 1910. An unusually large number of its members have made enviable records, while the work of the class as a whole has been characterized by faithful and conscientious devotion to duty. Our uniform good behavior, our continuous application to daily tasks imposed, has evoked not only the confidence and admiration of the Faculty, but very naturally the envy of every class in college. We number forty-five strong. We are a composite, as usual, of various ele- ments, not all scholars, not all sloths, but our average is far better than usual. For athletics we have manifested no passionate fondness, nor on them have we spent disproportionate time or energy. Still, a comparison of our men and their record, with the achievements of our contemporaries and predecessors, will not result to our discredit. While we realize that a man should be physically, as well as mentally, strong, we find just cause for pride that the mine of science, of art and of literature has proven more attractive, and the appropriating of their treasures has engaged more of our time, at the same time affording us deeper stirrings of delight than either the gridiron or the diamond. During our Senior year we have witnessed the erection of a commodious Hbrary, the best equipped in the State, and before we finish the year ' s work a dormitorv will have been already begun. Not only does our presence count for progress on this campus, but our deportment, suffice it to say, doth become a Senior grave. So, as we approach the final day of parting, we look back upon the course we have run as neither discreditable to our predecessors nor a cause of reproach to our successors. In spite of any trouble or discouragement we may have ex- perienced this y ar, it has been our happiest and most pleasant year. We have been brought closer to each other, and it is with sadness, mingled with gladness, we meet here for the last time, for we know that we shall never meet again as a tmited class. Let us, then, in going out into active, thrilling, vibrating life, quit ourselves as men who will bring success to ourselves, laurels for our class, and honor for our Alma Mater. ■ J. K. DAVIS, Historian. Charles Otis All BARNWELL, S. C. Away with him, away with him; he speaks Latin. Second Censor; Recording Secretary; Second Critic; Vice-President; President Preston Literary Society; Marshal on Freshman Exhibition. Judge is just a little more than we can figure out. Some say he ' s — but never mind what some say, others say just the opposite. Among many uncertainties, however, one thing is certain: Judge is particularly fond of Latin. Wait a minute, boys, read that first sentence over again. Doesn ' t that sound familiar? Judge always wants the fiirst sentence read about six times; he comes first, and usually gets called on first. He means well, though, and we predict that some day he will become a great Latin scholar. William Boyd Baker MARION, S. C. He tired the sun with talking and sent him down the sky. Corresponding Secretary; Recording Secretary; Vice-President; President Carlisle Literary Society; Freshman Marshal; Class Football Team, ' oS- ' og, ' og- ' io; Junior-Soph. Football Team, ' oS- ' oq ; Sen- ior-Fresh. Football Team, ' og - ' io; Class Baseball Team, ' 09 ' 10; Varsity Basket Ball Team, ' oS- ' og; Contributor to Journal. Baker is from the swamps of M-arion. His father is a preacher; but there ' s no need for telling that, if you happen to know him. If in need of any first class, unadulterated slang of the best ' ariety, you will do well to see him. He ' s the biggest wholesale dealer along this line in the class; satisfaction guaranteed. Baker is thinking of entering the ministry if nothing happens— there ' ll probably something hapi)en, though. 20 George Albright Beach YORK, S, C. Ha, Majesty! how high Ihy gloiy towers. Second Censor; Recording Secretary ; First Critic ; Vice-President Preston Literary Society; Captain Tennis Association, ' oS- ' og; Tennis Team, Singles and Doubles, ' oS- ' og; Winner Tennis Trophy Cup, ' o8- ' o9, ' og- ' io; Vice-President of Class, ' oS- ' og ; President of Inter-Society Conference ; Member Journal Staff, ' og- ' io; Advertising Manager Bohemian; Member of Executive Committee S. C. I. 0. A.; Manager ' Varsity Baseball Team, ' og- ' io. Hop is generally recognized as the Falstaff of the class, in size; not for keenness of wit. George is one of the pillars of the class, or perhaps he might be more appropriately dubbed a sleeper. He has never been known to move at a greater rate than two miles per hour, and that was once when he was badly scared. His portliness accounts for his tar- diness of action. If he prospers, he will some day be the fat man in a circus or side show. Daniel Lander Betts SPARTANBURG, S. C. High and passionate thoughts to their own music chanted. Monthly Orator; Treasurer; Second Censor; President Carlisle Literary Society ; Class Poet, ' o9- ' i o ; Exchange Editor of Journal ; Contributor to Journal. It is not known for certain, from whence Betts comes. He has always been rather a question of doubt among the students. The larger part of the boys have about come to the conclusion, that he is of the genus homo. Betts will be a missionary. Only a mouthful of Cannibal meat; And the quality of that not hard to beat; From his head to his heels, they can masticate, But his head nothing can penetrate. 21 Chesnee Vernon Bomar SPARTANBURG. S. C. ■ ' Oh, let me close my eyes and dream sweet, fanciful, vagrant dreams of love. Member Calhoun Literary Society; Member, ' o8- ' o9, Chairman, ' og- ' io, Inter-Society Com- mittee ; Freshman and Sophomore Marshals; Pianist on Glee Club, ' oS- ' og, ' og- ' io. Yes, this is Mr. Bomar, the pianist of the Glee Club. Sinse the Glee Club made its annual tour, the college authorities have gotten many letters from the fair sex all over the State, wanting infor- mation concerning the aforesaid. It seems that he has made. quite a hit along this line. But Bomar always was a ladies ' man, takes music at Converse, too. Whether this is from a desire to really know music or just for an excuse to get in touch with a pair of dreamy eyes is too hard for us, but we are inclined toward the latter solution of the question Irvin Nelson Bowman ORANGEBURG, S. C. And I would that I could utter The thoughts that arise in me. Recording Secretary; First Censor; First Critic; Vice-President; President Calhoun Literary Society. Lad is a historical student of fame; always takes historv — or whate -er else no one ' s watching. His chief delight is in historical research, etc. When Lad came, his intentions were along the ministerial line, but he has since decided it was a false alarm and will attack law with great vigor and determination. Look out for the bench (or the gallows) . 22 Z. F. Cannon SPARTANBURG, S. C. Man is made of solid stuff. Entered, ' 05; Dropped out, ' oy- ' oS; Class Base- ball Team, ' 09- ' 10. Zi was discovered near Clifton. When first seen, he had his face hid and his discoverers were decei ' ed into believing they had really made a find. Anyway, he was roped and after two weeks honest endeavor, was induced to wear a linen collar; shoes and other apparel soon followed. After four years fruitless effort by classmates and instructors, he will return to the sticks from whence he came, or was brought, to be more correct. John Luther Cely ANDERSOX, S. C. Man is the hunter: woman is his game. Entered, ' 05; Dropped out, ' 08; Second Critic; First Censor Preston Literary Society; Class Basket Ball Team, ' o5- ' o6, ' og- ' io; Class Football Team, ' o6- ' o7, ' o7- ' o8, ' oQ- ' io. Cely is from Bushy Fork County, not known at present writing. He is undoubtedly the biggest sport in the class; always out from 7:30 to 11:30 every night. Once had the misfortune to meet a pro essor on the way back; flunked out next day; promptly swore off; went again next night. We don ' t believe he ' ll ever be able to overcome this habit of nocturnal roving until he is drowned in the sea of matrimony. 23 Stafford Bland Connor ORAXGEBURG, S. C. As gentle and as jocund as to jest. MonthlyOrator; Treasurer Preston Literary Society ; Glee Club, ' ' oq- ' io; Contributor to Journal. Bland is the champion love-maker of the class; it is said that he can do this stunt in several dif- erent languages; prefers French. He is also the impersonator of the Glee Club; does the nigger preacher act to a high degree of perfection from an artistic standpoint. We predict, that some day he will make a first class nigger preacher. George Kennedy Craig AXSOX, N. C. His heart on high honour was set And him contained in such manner, That all him loved that were him near. Second Censor; Corresponding Secretary; Re- cording Secretary ; President Preston Literary Society ; Corresponding Secretary South Carolina Inter- Collegiate Oratorical Association; Freshman Mar- shal; Vice-President and President of Class, ' o7- ' o8; Bohemian Staff, ' oS- ' og; Gymnasium Team, ' o7- ' o8; Junior-Soph. Football Team, ' oS- ' og; Senior-Fresh. Football Team, ' og- ' io; Class Foot- ball Team, ' oy- ' oS, ' oS- ' og, ' og- ' io; Manager Class Football Team, ' og- ' io. George is a tar-heeler; the poor fellow seems to hate it, but can ' t help it. Craig is the telephone artist; can talk pretty well to the fair sex face to face, but look out phone. He once had the pleasure of talking to one of the students over the phone, thinking it was a certain Spartanburg young lady. He found it out afterwards, repented, but too late. Craig will take up his abode in Spartanburg, it seems, as there is about one hundred and twenty pounds of feminine attraction for him here. 24 Benjamin Franklin Cromley SALUDA, S. C. Thy soul was like a star and dwelt apart. Entered, ' 07; Member Carlisle Literary Society. Here is a brand new, all- vool-and-a-yard-wide specimen from Saluda. Ben likes to talk about Saluda; says she ' s improving, and no longer in- creasing the population of the graveyards by vio- lent death. He says the people of his county are becoming somewhat tame, and no longer kill negroes for a pastime: says now it ' s against the rules to kill ' em down there, unless they ' re on the shady side of the street or fail to lift their hats to you when you meet them. Ben ' s a fjuiet kind of fellow, though, and anyone wouldn ' t suspect him of being from Sakida, who did not know it. Joseph Kennedy Davis SPARTANBURG, S. C. An excellent scholar; one that hath a head filled with calf brains, without any sage in them. Monthly Orator; Second Critic ; President Preston Literary Society; Vice-President Freshman Class; Sophomore Speaker; Junior Debater; Winner Preston Essay Medal, ' oy- ' oS; Assistant Literary Editor Bohemian, ' oS- ' oq; Editor-in-Chief Bohe- mian, ' og- ' io; Y. M. C. A. Editor Journal, ' oQ- ' io; Class Historian, ' og- ' io ; Oratorical Speaker, ' oQ- ' io; Senior Speaker. Do not be misled, dear reader, by the gloomy and forbidding aspect which this specimen presents; for he is not half so fierce as he looks to be. He can even smile. When at leisure, he can be found building air castles for himself and the one girl that has had him in captivity so long; just who, ' tis hard to tell, because it is a known fact that he has bed time called on -him at least five times every week, and not by the same mother either. 25 William Henry Davidson LAUREXS, S. C. All the Latin I construe is amo—l love. Member Inter-Society Committee, ' og- ' io ; Preston Literary Society; Class Football Team, ' o6- ' o7, ' o7- ' o8, ' o8- ' o9, ' og- ' io; Junior-Soph. Football, Team, ' o7- ' o8, ' oS- ' og; Senior-Fresh. Football Team, ' oQ- ' io; Class Basket Ball Team, ' oy- ' oS, ' oS- ' og, ' oQ- ' io; Captain Class Basket Ball Team, ' og- ' io; ' Varsity Basket Ball Team, ' oS- ' oq. Puss is from Clint(jn, Laurens County, and actually owns up to it. His chief delight is in the pursuit of his studies in Latin. He is commonly known as Pro. ' . Gus ' s Pet. It is thought that, some day, he will make a great Latin scholar. Men may come and men may go, but Puss takes Latin forever. Puss has an exceedingly bland and child-like face, as innocent as the smile of a new- born babe. It doesn ' t show the scars of forty-two Latin exams, lost — and unpassed. He will some dav make a good business man, if he can gi e up the haunting thoughts of Latin. Cyrus Basset Dawsey HORRY, S. C. I am not wiser for my age. Nor skilful for my grief. Corresponding Secretary; Monthly Orator; Third Critic; Recording Secretary; Vice-President; Presi- dent Carlisle Literary Society; Speaker on Freshman Exhibition; Sophomore Speaker; Junior Debater; Senior Speaker; Speaker on Oratorical Contest, ' o8- ' o9, ' oQ- ' io; Secretary, President Y. M. C. A.; President Volunteer Band ; President of Class ' og- ' io. Dawsey was fovmd in some of the swamps of Horry. We don ' t know what strata, so hardly know w hat age to place him in; certainly not the psychozoic; more probably the paleozoic, in order to be sure to be far enough back. Bishop is said to be a preacher, but it is yet doubtful whether he ' ll join the conference or go back to Horry and be a foreign missionary. His highest ambition is to be a Bishop; says he ' ll be one if he has to bribe the whole General Con ' erence. 26 Benton McRoy DuBose LEE, S. C. Not a thought, a touch. But pure as lines of green that streak the white Of the first snowdrops inner leaves. Corresponding Secretary ; Monthly Orator, Third Critic, First Critic, Vice-President; President Car- lisle Literary Society ; Junior Debater ; Literary Editor Journal, ' oq- ' io; Business Martager of Bohemian, ' og- ' io; ' Varsity Basket Ball Team, ' oS- ' og; Senior Speaker. Roy is primarily a pugilist or general all-round scrapper; he holds the belt for the upper part of South Carolina. He ' ll fight about anything imagi- nable, female gender preferably. A year or so ago, after several days of vain searching for a scrap, finding nothing else to devote his time and interest to, he proceeded to carve up his own physiognom} ' with a razor in a way calculated to please the most fastidious. It is rumored that he will challenge the winner of the Jeffries-Johnson bout. Frederic Warren Dibble ORANGEBURG, S. C. He will lie, sir, with such volubility, that you would think truth were a fool. Entered, ' 05, dropped out, ' oy- ' oS; Monthly Orator; Second Censor and Charter Member of Carlisle Literary Society; Art Editor t he Bohe- mian, ' oQ- ' io; Contributor to Journal; Non- Frat. Sijtiirt was one of the additions our class made; kind of an inheritance from the class be ' ' ore. He is a born ladies ' man. and it is no uncommon occur- rence to find, where he has gone along, a fair maid pining away for her stolen ove. He will make a fortune when he completes the investigation of un- known chemical formulas, which he is industriously working out. 27 William Claus Duncan LAUREXS, S. C. Yet ' twas a handsome face. ' .1 Entered, ' 04, dropped out, ' o6- ' o7, ' oy- ' oS; Cor- responding Secretary Preston Literary Society; Vice-President of Class, ' 04- ' 05. Xo, there ' s no donkey in the choir, Duncan, not donkev. This is one of Duncan ' s favorite pas- times, singing. He ' ll sing anything from Coon- shine to The Creation. He says it ' s his one talent. Some doubt the truth of this statement: but if it is, he seems determined not to bury his talent; it ' s more probable he ' ll explode it. There ' ll be no objections offered to the explosion, howe •e , provided no one else is injured. C. Reid Elkins HAMPTON, S. C. All thoughts, all passions, all delights, Whatever stirs this mortal frame. Member Calhoun Literary Society; Senior Base- ball Team; Senior Basket Ball Team; Class Football Team, ' oS- ' og, ' og- ' io. Elkins at present hails from Hampton, but this is not permanent, only a temporary place of abode. A small place like Hampton, can ' t hold him forever. This is another Latin student of note; it seems that the class is ' infested with them. Reid is always in for a good time wherever it ' s to be found; if not at home, he goes visiting. Elk says he ' s good looking, but when called to taw, has a hard time proving the truth of his statement. Some of the girls in Hampton may think so, however. 28 John Gregory Galbraith SPARTANBURG, S. C. Eternal smiles his emptiness betray. First, Second and Third Critic, First and Second Censor, Corresponding and Recording Secretary, Calhoun Literary Society; Freshman Speaker; Class Football Team, ' o6- ' 07, ' oy- ' oS; Senior-Fresh_ Football Team, ' o6- ' o7; Executive Committee Athletic Association. Greg has been in our class frequently since it ' s debut. He has actually become acquainted with a few of the most prominent members of the class, and knows several of the professors when he sees them. The trustees have been thinking of making Greg Chairman of the Board of Visitors, provided such a board is ever created. He would certainly make a good one if practice counts for anything. J Jefferson Davis Griffith SALUDA, S. C. Upon his brow, shame is ashamed to sit. _ — Entered, ' 07; First and Third Critics Carlisle Literary Society. Griffith was resurrected somewhere down in Saluda. Jeff ' s strong point is medicine; he never has less than half a dozen doctor ' s books in his room: knows more big words of this variety than any man in the class. Grif says he will study law; says there ' s always room at the top. He should remember that there ' s also plenty of competition at the bottom. Jeff is somewhat politically in- clined, has hopes of some day being magistrate, coroner or something of the kind. i  1 29 Edmund Berkely Hammond SPARTANBURG, S. C. j. They say, through patience, chalk Becomes a ruby stone. Recording Secretary, Treasurer, Vice-President, President Calhoun Literary Society; Vice-President of Class, ' o7- ' o8; President of Class, ' oS- ' oq ; Mem- ber of Journal and Bohemian Staffs, ' oS- ' og; Business Manager of Journal, ' og- ' io; Speaker on Freshman Exhibition, ' lo; Sophomore Speaker; Junior Debater; Member of Executive Committee Athletic Association, ' og ' -io; Class Baseball Team, ' o8- ' o9, ' oQ- ' io. Ed is perrectly harmless and as gentle as a lamb. He is one of these fellows that a nice girl could work wonders with; anyway, there ' s plenty of room for something being done. ' Of course, it is doubtful whether or not it could be accomplished. Ed is a fellow of few habits, good or bad; one of his worst is associating with Beach. But Ed will overcome Beach ' s subtle influence in time, if enough care is taken with him. Gussie Cleveland Hawkins SPARTANBURG, S. C. ■■I seemed to move among a world of ghosts, And feel myself the shadow of a dream. Member Preston Literary Society; Contributer to Journal. Gus is of poetic temperament; in fact he actually puts some of it on paper, the sentimental kind. He doesn ' t mean any offence; just can ' t help it; in love probably. Being of a generous nature and warm heart, we freely forgive him for his wavering from the path of righteousness, and the gods may forgive and forget in time, with the provision of good behavior along this line in the future. 30 William Grady Hazel EDGEFIELD, S. C. And still they gazed and still the wonder grew, That one small head should carry all he knew. Member Preston Literary Society; Class Poet, ' o7- ' o8, ' oS- ' og; Historian, ' oy- ' oS; Class Prophet, ' og- ' io; Junior Debater; Senior Speaker; Class Baseball Team, ' oy- ' oS, ' oS- ' og. ' og- ' io; ' Varsity Scrub Baseball Team, ' oS- ' og; Member Executive Committee South Carolina Inter-Collegiate Press Association, ' og- ' io; Literary Editor Bohemian, ' og- ' io; Editor-in-Chief Wofford College Journal, ' OQ- ' lO. Xut was flushed from the swamps of Saluda County. He is f|uite loquacious, in fact, he has been very aptly designated as having the rapidity of speech of a phonograph. Did you ever hear of the giant, Hercules; the philosopher, Socrates: the humorist, Mark Twain; the practical schemer, A aron Burr; the prince of demons, Beelzebub? Well, the elements of these have been so compounded in him, that as a result we have this honorable son of Ananias. Nut has a perfect horror of the sensation created by a too-near personal contact with H2O. He has been accused of having taken four applications of the said H2O in last four years. However, he emphatically and stoutly denies the said accusation, and cannot conceive how the rumor was started. George Means Heinitsh SPARTANBURG, S. C. A vapor, heavy, hueless, formless, cold. Monthly Orator, Third Critic, Member Inter- Society Committee ; First Critic, Vice-President Calhoun Literary Society; Secretary and Treasurer Junior Class; Member Executive Committee Athletic Association. George is a pure, cut-and-dried, unregenerated rattler of senseless prattle. How he will talk; about anything in general, nothing in particular; anything that ' ll keep his mouth going. We beliex ' e he ' d actually talk the slats off a chicken coop. George doesn ' t always confine himself to the truth, either. Truth or fiction, it matters not to him; just so it ' s something easily adaptable to words to let o ' er- flow his pent-up feelings. He ' ll reform some da - after he has talked into insensibility some good person fool enough to listen to him. 31 Eugene Leroy ' Horger ORANGEBURG, S. C, Music herself and all the muses nine For skill or voice their titles may resign. Monthly Orator, Second Censor, Second Critic, Recording Secretary, Vice-President Carlisle Literary Society; Class Football Team, ' oy- ' oS, ' oS- ' og, ' 09- ' 10; Class Basket Ball Team, ' og- ' io; Glee Club, ' og- ' io. Horger is sometimes called Socrates for his wisdom, oftener Sox for short. He is of a genial disposition, good looking, and a great favorite with the fair sex. Sox is chiefly noted for chewing the quid of reflection until the psychological moment, when he spits out some great truth, as tho ' it were a habit of his. By the way, he has that quid about chewed to a frazzle. Sox has just discovered the great musical talent that has been lying dormant in him, and made Glee Club this year. He will some day be a shining light in the musical world. Gabriel Buchanan Ingram SPARTANBURG. S. C. Upon the level in little pufls of wind, Tho ' anchored to the bottom such is he. Member Preston Literary Society. Gabe has come out wonderfully after getting from under the influence of the associates and chums of his first year. He has about lived down the repu- tation acquired while with them and will in time, it is thought, become a desirable citizen. Eyes began wrong— took Greek. He didn ' t like Greek, so riuit and started over. He immediately began to improve, but says he ' ll ever be haunted by the memories of Greek and Rembert. 32 John Sheppard Jones SALUDA, S. C. Such another peerless king, Only could his mirror show.

Ah! here he is in all his glory — a sport if there e -er was one. Shep is from Saluda, but doesn ' t like to own it; says he ' d rather be from Edgefield; nothing peculiar in that, tho, most anybody would. Shep has been doing some thinking of late on the boarding house question; in fact, he is thinking of going into the business. He says he thinks it would suit his general character, and make-up. Luck to him in his new enterprise. Earl Legare Keaton ANDERSON, S. C. Oh, God, methinks it were a happy life To be no better than a homely swain. Member Preston Literary Society ; Contributor to Journal. Keaton, E. is from Anderson, but is not to be blamed for this, as when he selected his birthplace, he was rather inexperienced and immature in wis- dom and judgment. Earl has been frecjuently found guilty of writing poetry. The melancholy strain in it shows that he was once in love — Oh! long, long ago. But ' Tis better, etc. It is thought that Keaton will some day blossom into a great poet. He has already managed to palm off a few of his productions on the Journal. 3 33 Ruben Leon Keaton ABBEVILLE, S. C. Older am I than thy numbers root; Change I may, but I pass not.

M. C. A.; President, ' oS- ' og, ' oQ- ' io, Ministerial Band. Leon is not exactly one of us; he just dropped into our class. It ' s a kind of habit he has. Some think he will keep it up, for generations yet. Kea- ton ' s a hustler tho ' , if not in one way then look out the other. Whenever in need of anything, it matters not what, from a tooth-pick to a steamboat, go to Keaton. He always has the latest improved arti- cle and is open to any kind of a trade. His specialty in the selling line is anything in which there is ninety-nine per cent, profit. If you have any- thing you don ' t want, and can ' t give away, turn it over to Keaton to sell for you. If he doesn ' t succeed, Taft doesn ' t weigh thirteen ounces. William Franklin Klugh GREENWOOD, S, C, Ere he was born, the stars ol late Plotted to make him rich and great, Third Critic, First Censor, President Calhoun Literary Society; President Student Body, ' og- ' io; Secretary and Treasurer Senior Class; Secretary Athletic Association, ' og- ' io; Manager Glee Club, ' og- ' io. Klugh is about the best thing we have for orna- mental purposes. He looks well, will stand any- where he is put and face any direction. He is usually found decorating Whittington ' s with his majestic presence, that is when the weather is good; on rainy days, he stays in his room and doctors his complexion, hair, etc. Frank will overcome his good looks in time, tho, we think, and will probably make a very good citizen. 34 John McCall MARLBORO, S. C. The greatest fault, I should say, is to be conscious of none. Inter-Society Committee; Recording Secretary, Second Critic, Vice-President, President Calhoun Literary Society; Member Journal Staff, ' og- ' io; Vice-President Senior Class. Recently John has distinguished himself b y winning the beauty prize of the Senior Class. No- body thought he ' d take, but everybody was sur- prised — he actually took it. We do not mean to say this is all he has taken; several members of the faculty have been missing chickens lately. Joseph Francis Munnerlyn GEORGETOWN, S. C. Never yet the man was found. Who could this mystery expound. Secretary First Critic Preston Literary Society; and Treasurer of Class, ' o6- ' o7. Jodie is the Kandy Kid; he ' s a little of e -ery- thing; possibly excels in baseball, being an artist of unusual merit in that line. Jodie ' s also a sport, ladies ' man, etc., (the etc. being more pregnant with meaning than all the rest). 35 Toichi Murata But blend the smile that like a wi inkling wind On glossy water drove his cheek in lines. Member Carlisle Literary Society. First Censor. Murata is from somewhere in Japan. No one but a pure-blooded Jap can spell or pronounce the name of the place. We know it takes about all ' the letters in the alphabet, but don ' t know in what order to place them. Fuji is going back to Japan ' and show them a few stunts be has learned over here. He says he is going to be a professor in some female college. He always did take well with that gender. Lawrence Adams Murray ORANGEBURG, S. C. Many are the poets who have never feared their inspiration, and perchance the best. Member of Preston Literary Society; Contributor to Journal. Murray is from the swamps of the lower part of the State, where mosquitoes and malaria abound. He is quite beyond understanding; some say he ' s studying for the ministry, others say he ' s out for a missionary. Anyway, he ' s a quiet, inoffensive kind of fellow, with a meek and forlorn countenance, and would do excellently for a preacher or a priest. 36 r Ralph Lee Newton MARLBORO, S. C, A little grain of conscience made him sour. Member Preston Literary Society; First Censor; Class Basket Ball Team, ' og- ' io; Senior Speaker. Newton is an unknown quantity, a mystic, inde- finable question mark. (We came pretty near saying nonentity). Anyway, to express it in our own style,, he ' s something we don ' t know what it is. We will not try to describe the indescribable; de- fine the indefinable; reveal the unrevealable. Thompson Bethea Penney ABBEVILLE, S. C. Pale genius roves alone; No scout can track his way.

Penney is an adept in math ; yet we do not know whether it ' s math he understands or how to work Clink. The latter is the most plausible solution, as it is undoubtedly the easier of the two. 37 Sim Harrison Plyler LANCASTER, S. C. His legs bestrid the ocean.

Sim was caught wild in the upper part of Lancaster. After running him down, putting shoes and other paraphernalia of civihzation upon him, he was sent here. He does very well now as long as we can keep him up. If he gets loose again no telling what will happen. Sim is the giant of the class, 6 ft., 4 in. in height, weight, 180. He is now beginning to get gray; whether the result of old age, much worry or hard study, it is not known. Edward Burke Roberts DILLON, S. C. The hate of hate; the scorn of scorn; the love of love.

Bob is the taffy slinger; the soft slush artist; the silver-tongued love maker; the ladies ' knight, sans peur et sans reproche. If any young lady wants someone to spiel off the latest style of amorous bosh in rhythmical phraseology, she would do well to send for Bob. He prefers working under a nom de plume, though. .38 Charles Watson Shockley SPARTANBURG, S. C. Ah me, my babe, my blossom, ah, my child. Second Critic, First Censor Calhoun Literary Society; Gymnasium Team, ' oy- ' oS, ' oS- ' og, ' og- ' io. Here we have an artifice btiilt upon solid and firm foundation, architectural design, well balanced, and with a large and roomy dome. Charley is the youngest fellow in the class, but is there with the best. Ralston Eugene Smith, Jr. CLARENDON, S. C. Went plodding like some good, plain soul, That had some flock to feed. Member Preston Literary Society; Contributor to Journal; First Critic. Smith is a good student, a quiet kind of fellow and stands in well with the faculty. This fair youth never takes anything easy. He is modest, unassuming, bashful; chews his gum in silence. Sm ith works with untiring energy on everything. He thinks he has committed a crime if he does not make ten (lo) on every recitation. He will surely make his mark, as a college professor or some university president. • 39 James Goodlett Thornton PICKEXS. S. C. Ah Fate, cannot a man Be wise without a beard? Second Censor Calhoun Literary Society; Class Football Team, ' og- ' io; Class Basket Ball Team, ' OQ- ' lO. Thornton is the genuine article; always up for anything, provided there is a good time in it and Elkins is along. This is one of Kid ' s peculiari- ties; he can ' t get over four feet away from Elkins. Thornton has about ruined his health studying, actually studied fourteen minutes on a stretch once. He ' ll overcome these evil effects, tho, as he is still young. John Edward Wannamaker CALHOUN, S. C. Let science prove we are, and then what matters science unto men, at least to me. Wannamaker is from St Matthews— wherexer that is. It must be in the lower part of the State, where game abounds, as John says he killed twenty- two squeerrels one morning. Wanny is a great theologian; reads Ingersoll, or something of the kind, and likes to talk about it. He is a great talker anyway, when he is once started. This is the for- mula by which he usually begins; first, he emits a couple of warning grunts, then fires words inter- mingled with more grunts, at you like bullets from a Gatling gun; lastly, another pair of grunts, but these in G minor, and then silence reigns— for a second or so. 40 Marvin McTyere Wilkes BARNWELL, S.

Yes, he ' s perfectly tame; won ' t bite; only growls and looks fierce. He ' s somewhat a pet among the boys, answers to almost any name and will follow anybody that ' ll feed him and furnish him in cig- arettes. Wilkes holds a license to act the clown on any and all occasions — church not excepted. You wouldn ' t think it, but he is really a favorite among the ladies. Wilkes ' chief characteristics are : bushy hair, slouchy hat, trousers six inches above shoe tops, socks of different color, and general dilapidated appearance. Senior Class Poem LASSMATES, our college days are ending, Awav and hence our ways are trending Into a life that ' s fiercely real! And when the crucial test shall come, :May there be earth ' s approving seal Upon our manhood ' s total sum. Then up and on with eve that ' s gleaming, We ' ll meet the world with more than dreammg! But be the future fierce and painful. Resolved are we to make it gainful. What wealth can be compared to life: What finds of Mammon ' s treasure trove. When within begins a strife To overpass the common drove. Gain the heights of throned Verity; Prove one ' s valor, not temerity? Here we learned of Egypt ' s science Which has been a sure reliance To re-mark her silted lands; We ' ve learned of wisdom and of lore Gathered bv forgotten hands. And sought to find in what before Was ever thought or known, the truest ; And finding, thus imfold the newest. Tho ' we ' ve been four years together And scarce have measured Learning ' s tether. Have we here our hearts made strong. Taught our vision clear to know. Searched for truth to combat wrong. Reasoned why a fact is so, Trained our spirits to be truer, When the eyes of men are fewer? Scarce bounds of earth can now restrain us. For manv a countrv shall contain us; One here, one there, yea, scattered far Thru divers ways our courses turn — ■Tn Vishnu-land what Avatar? — To live, to toil, to help, to learn. Perchance to build our fancy ' s dreaming. Or follow Duty ' s distant gleaming. Our campus home we ' ll not forget. Tho ' ocean ' s stream divide, nor let The memories fade away when Time Shall grev our heads with hoary age; Our hopes for her shall constant chime. In the topmost spire our youthful mage Shall see fulfilled. Our Alma Iater— I Iav Heaven ' s blessings all await her! DANIEL L. BETTS 42 43 Class Prophecy NLY two short years have passed since we were in the throes of the latter part of our Senior year at Wofiford. But how much experience and how many happenings, good or bad, can take place in two years ! Who of us then dreamed that by now our future would be as an open book in which one might read at leisure? Who then could have imagined that, by any device or inven- tion, the veil between the present and the future could be removed, laying bare the glories and the horrors of that which is to be? Even now, looking back and seeing that this has been accomplished, it seems almost in- credible, superhuman, weird and uncanny ; and even as J write and think of it, it is only with difficulty and remarkable self-control that I am able to keep back the cold shivers that would chase each other up and down my spinal column. No one but a genius or a fool would have ever attempted so great an under- taking as this, but John Wannamaker, being both, to a certain extent, and an impatient kind of fellow, who could not wait for events to transpire, undertook to invent a machine that would reveal the future, and, after a few months ' experi- menting, brought it to perfection. It was a complicated combination of electric batteries, wires, radium, mirrors, parts of a phonograph and moving picture machine, worked all together in an indescribable manner. The invention being completed, anyone could operate it. One had simply to call to it some name and set the date wished for, and immediately there would flash into the mirror a picture of that person and his surroundings at that time; and from the phonograph contraption, voices could be heard from these pictures as though they were real persons. One could even speak to the persons and they would answer. It was certainly a wonderful machine. Ready for business, John first, of course, wished to know his own future. Setting the date, etc., he looked mto the mirror and saw — ah ! no one will ever know what he did see. for immediately after finding out the long-coveted infor- mation concerning himself, he sprang up. uttered a loud yell, put a bullet through the machine and then one through his head. Some time after this I came into possession of his invention, patched the bullet hole up as best I could, and found it worked about as well as before. Being always interested in the future of my classmates, their fates was what I first wished to know ; so, setting the machine for 1930. I began with my investigations. I started with Baker, and the scene reflected in the mirror was an Old Plantation Show. I did not at first see how this applied to Baker, but soon found and recognized him as end man. I was somewhat surprised to find Wilkes also in this minstrel show as chief clown, but there hf was performing 4.5 all sorts of fantastic tricks and acting his part to perfection. In the audience 1 recognized Beach in blue coat and brass buttons. This did not surprise me so much, as I had always been of the opinion that he was better suited for a policeman than anything else. I learned that this was one of the many shows of the Murray Carnival Company. Next I saw the interior of a great book company, where books of all kinds and descriptions were shipped to every part of the country. 1 found Craig super- intending the Latin translation department, and discovered that the firm was now Hinds, Noble All. I found that DuBose was foreman of the printing department of this company. The scene now shifted to San Francisco, and I could see that a great prize fight was about to be pulled off and heard the contestants introduced as follows : Gentlemen, the fight of the evening will be one of unusual interest; it is, as it were, to settle an old grudge, a long existing feud ; and, as both of the pugilists are well trained and are of long experience in the ring, we feel justified in predicting a great performance. There is no limit to the number of rounds ; the fight is to the finish. I take pleasure in introducing Messrs. Turner and Duncan. I noticed that one of the trainers was Roberts, and it seemed about all he could do to keep out of the scrap at times. The battle raged hotly, with Turner a little in the lead, until one of the spectators became too enthused, rushed into the ring, jerked up his sleeves, and whipped them both in about three seconds. I was just wondering who this intruder could be, when one of the crowd jumped up and shouted: Hurrah for Plyler, the world ' s champion heavyweight. Then I found myself in a large, handsome church in Charleston, and soon learned that Conference was in session, Bishop Greg Galbraith presiding. I waited for the appointmenis, and heard read out as presiding eldec j mp and Bowman. I was told that Bishop Puss Davidson had delivered an eloquent and scholarly sermon before the Conference the previous Sunday on The In- fluence of the Latin Vulgate on the English Bible. I was next on one of the many cannibal isles of the Pacific, where I saw about twenty naked savages, with looks of expectancy upon their faces, huddled around a huge pot, in which some kind of soup of peculiar odor was boiling. Among them I saw Betts reading from the Bible and speaking as though his life depended upon it. As soon as he hesitated a little, I spoke to him and soon asked about Dawsey — where he was, what he was doing and how he was getting along. Betts looked up at me with tears in his eyes, and said: Poor Dawsey; that ' s him in the pot. Ah ! now the scene was more familiar. I was back on Wofiford ' s campus and was surprised at the number of new buildings, dormitories, etc., and soon learned that the money for these buildings was left in his will by my old class- mate Smith, who had amassed a huge sum by inventing some kind of tonic that would straighten kinky hair. I first went into the Math room and was not sur- prised to find Penney occupying the chair. I noticed the students as they filed in and saw one old, gray-headed man. I found this to be Leon Keaton, and that he was expected to graduate in about two more years and take off all the honors. I was told that Cely was now President and Professor of Astronomy. I then went to the Library and found among the many shelves one set aside for the poetical works of Earl Keaton exclusively. I was next in a court-room — the Supreme Court of South Carolina — and saw Jef¥ Griffith as Chief Justice, with Davis as one of his associates. Dibble 46 was the leading lawyer, and was presenting the case in his ususal clear and forcible style. I now found myself at the State Fair in Columbia. In one of the side shows I saw Hawkins, the Fat Man, who was said to be the largest in the world, measuring eighty-six inches around the equator. In another show was Cannon, the Snake Eater, fully guaranteed to eat ' em alive. I found that Klugh had become President of the Fair Association, and was a leading lawyer of Columbia. The scene was again changed, and I was back in Spartanburg, which had now grown to such size that it had taken Greenville into its limits as a suburb. Shockley was Mayor, and his administration had been one of unequaled success. Hammond was Superintendent of Streets, and Elkins and Thornton were pro- prietors of the largest livery stable in the city. Eyes Ingram, D. D., was pastor of Central, and was making one of the best the church had ever had. Bomar had become President of the South Atlantic States Musical Festival, and Jodie Munnerlyn was to be its leading singer the following April. Next upon the mirror was a great political gathering, and I had the pleasure of hearing the speeches of the several candidates. I was surprised to find among them Horger, candidate for President on the Woman ' s Suffrage platform, and Shep Jones on the Prohibition. Now there is flashed into view a copy of the Mcz ' York World, dated August 24, 1930. I read from the headlines: Cromley Finds North Pole; Proves Conclusively that Neither Peary nor Cook Reached it in 1909 ; Revolu- tion in Japan; Murata with His Forces Occupies Tokio ; Newton, the Famous Mathematician, Discovers the Fourth Dimension of Space; Connor, President of the First National Bank of New York, Absconds with $410,000 in Bank K otes. - I then set the machine to find out about McCall, and immediately heard a ' chattering of children ' s voices ; then I saw a large, palatial residence, surrounded ;by rolling hills and fertile valleys. In the porch I saw McCall in the midst of a ,host of children of every age. I could easily see that he had prospered on the farm. I found that Heinitsh had at last come to the realization of his fondest hopes and highest ambitions by becoming poetic editor of Hostetter ' s Almanac. The future of my classmates now known, I, of course, next desired to know about myself. It was with much trembling and no little hesitation that I at last set the machine. But it was always my luck to be disappointed in everything that directly concerned myself. Just as I set it, the thing burst into a thousand pieces, leaving me in mouth-wide wonder and amazement. The machine had stood Wilk es, Dawsey, Griffith and Galbraith, but at the final and supreme test, had been weighed in the balance and found wanting. W. G. HAZEL. 47 OFFICERS O. C. Bennett H. Langford D. M. TURBEVILLE H. B. Anderson President Vice-President Secretary and Treasurer Historian 48 History of the Junior Class HERE is always a day, somewhere in the course of our lives, during which some event, experience or peculiar incident causes that day to be written down on our minds with lines so in- delible that, though we forget many of the fundamental facts of Geometry, and though we forget all of our Latin, Greek, Ger- man and French, and though we even forget the number of victories won by our baseball team in the spring of rgog, that incident, how- ever trivial, will ever remain a corner-stone in our mind. Such was the impression made on the minds of ninety-eight home-sick Freshmen on the evening of September i8, 1907. It was hinted about the campus, as well as I can remember, that we were a pretty green bunch of Freshmen. Such was probably the case. I certainly do not deny that charge, though it did not appear to me that we were such at that time. The next Freshman Class looked a whole lot greener to me. If we were not the greenest aggregation that ever classed themselves as Freshmen, it certainly was not any fault of ours, because seventy-hve per cent, of our number had so far been reared as children of nature. From youth, this large per cent, of our class had continually roamed the green fields and pastures, and had spent much of their young lives in the verdant fo rest. From our environments, there- fore, it was right that we should be green. After we had gone through the numerous perplexities that always darken the first few days of a Freshman, and after we had participated in all the receptions so willingly given us by the Sophomores, we elected officers, and with our motto : Seven come eleven, we launched for a four years ' vo3 ' age on a sea highly colored with all the toils and pleasures of college life. But before the first year was completed, some twenty-five or thirty of our fellow-students met their fate in the great battle of knowledge against ignorance, and by the time the second goal had been reached, we only had about one-half our original number. Thus, for two years, there has been a process of continual sifting, thinning out, boiling down and hardening going on among our men. But those who have survived are all the more fitted for the second half of this great game we are now engaged in. At the beginning of this year our class numbered no less than forty-five Juniors, among which number it was discovered by some good fortune that we 4 49 possessed a Campbell, with a Hump, too. With such a specimen to set the pace, we have resolved to stick together and move things for the next two years as no class has done before. And, ye gods and Uttle fishes, how we are going to move things. Much has the Class of ' ii accomplished in the very short time in which she has been in Spartanburg. The Class of ii so greatly swelled the demand for coal, cattle (beef ) and oil, that it was necessary for the C. C. O. to be built to Spartanburg. The Class of ' ii swelled the congregation of the Central Metho- dist Church so much that the church was soon enlarged.. It was the Class of ' ii that wore out the old library, and therefore, a new one was erected. It was no other than the Class of Nineteen Hundred and Eleven that has shown the Faculty and trustees by their conduct ( ? ) that a dormitory is necessary for the students of Wofford College, and soon this building will be erected. These, and many other great feats have been accomplished by the Eleveners. Thus ends the history of the Class of 191 1. May she ever remain as one, and in due season sad safely into the harbor and receive her dips. HORACE B. ANDERSON, Hi.storian. 50 Junior Class Alexander, B. D Moore, S. C. Anderson, H.

Historian 54 Sophomore Class History HE lot of a Freshman is not altogether an enviable one, and, although we made an excellent record last year, both on the athletic field and in the classroom, yet we were glad when the time came for us to get rid of our greenness and become Sophomores. We were glad to get back to Spartanburg and old Vofl: ' ord last September. Most of our class had returned, so that it was the largest in college. W ' e fondly cherished the belief that it was the best, and tluxnigh envv and ridicule, defeat and victory, we liave clung to this opinion. H eeling the responsibility, we elected our officers and athletic managers for the year, and our good judgment is shown in the efficient service they have rendered. For President we elected .Mclver; Vice-President, Glenn; Secretary and Treas- urer, All ; Manager of ISaseball Team, A ' alker ; Captain, Glenn ; Manager of Foot- ball Team, Ouzts ; Caj tain, Glenn; Manager of Basket iiall Team, W ilson. Baseball was clearly tlie biggest thing in sight, and we went for it with a will. The fight was hard, but one team after another dropped out, until the I ' ighters alone faced the Sophs. One more game and we had the cup. Football came next, and more hard work for the players, for it is practice only that makes perfect. ( Jur cliances were not of the best, apparently, but the plucky team fought with such skill and determination that not a game was lost; the football chami ionship was ours. When the Junior-.Soph team won over the Senior-Fresh in the Thanksgiving game, there did not seem much left to do, but we might have been pardoned if we felt our importance. But in our struggles with Trig and other studies, scarcely less hard, we did not meet with such success, for the head work that distinguished our class on the diamond and gridiron, somehow seemed lacking in the classroom. When Christmas Exams, completed the term, an alarming percentage of us had gone down in defeat, but iiard work will accom])lish wonders, and we believe we stand now as firm as any class. But since we had set such a high standard for ourselves, merely making up the work would not do, so we got out a Sophomore issue of the Journal, the only class number of the year. The time given us was short and our regular work ]:)ressing, but, under the able direction of Professor Wiggins, we made up a 55 , •4 number that we believe is no discredit to iis. More than one has said that it was the best issue of the year, and it was even suggested that the Journal be turned over to us entirely ! Class spirit and class unit}- we have taken as important parts of our standard ; we know we have the former, and believe we recognize the value of the latter The man who has true class spirit will have college spirit, and no one who has learned the importance of unity will put a private consideration above the common good. In the year that is past we have neglected many opportunities, but we have done some hard work, and feel that we have accomplished much. Before long we will give over the name of Sophomore to the class below, and will ourselves become Jtmiors. The blunders and failu.res we have made and, some- liow, seem to keep on making, we mean to avoid, while we hope to improve on, or at least copy, our successes, and add to the reputation of the Class of 1912.

It is the first class to enter after raising the standard, and in consequence of this, our class is but half as large as the Freshman Class usually is. A ' e were told by our professors that we were an experiment, and if we wanted to make good, we would have to live up to the expectations of the whole college. When we arrived in Spartanburg September the 14th, 1909, v e were as homesick and green as most Freshmen. But the homesickness has gradually grown better, and now we have only an occasional attack. As for the greenness, we shall let others speak of that, although we have retained the name Green. The first days were very trying on us, the first Sunday, especially. The days have never seemed quite so long since those of the first month. We shall not .soon forget with how much fear and trembling we visited the President ' s classroom at 3 o ' clock on the afternoon of the 15th of September, and even now a certain degree of timidity clings to us and we get nervous when called upon to recite in his classro om. Then, to awe us still more, we were assigned, for a mathematics lesson, the first hundred and sixty-five pages in Wells ' College Algebra. But since then many of us have found that our mathematics professor is a true friend to every studious, gentlemanly boy. Besides these experiences, we had a very pleasant surprise in the reception given by the Young Men ' s Chris- tian Association to the new boys, at which we were delighted to meet some of the belles of the city. But the most interesting feature of this reception was the purchasing of tickets to the reception by some of the Freshmen. Many of the old boys were very good to us, and their kindness and attention will not soon be forgotten. However, all Freshmen do not fare alike. Some of them could relate experiences that would be very interesting and amusing. H the foot races after dark had been kept up, the Sophomores, from necessity, would have needed flying machines to catch the fleet-footed Freshmen. In athletics we have not been very successful. Last fall, in the class baseball games, we thought first we would win the trophy cup and also the holiday which we were promised in case of success, but fortune was against us after the first two games, and we finished the contest with a percentage of five hundred. The foot- ball team did not measure up even with the baseball. It played three games ; was defeated twice and tied once. The society work of the class as a whole has been good. A number tried for the Freshman Exhibition from each of the societies. The fortunate ones were: the Sims Twins, from the Preston; Henderson and Hodges, from the Carlisle; and Hyer and Jenkins, from the Calhoun. And as a whole, our class bids fair to make up in quality what it lacks in quantity. E. T. SPIGNER, Historian. 6t 62 Freshman Class Anderson, W. V Ninety Six, S. C. AsBiLL, B. M., Jr Ridge Spring, S.

Carlisle UY D. D. WALLACE. For fiftv-five years there could be seen upon the Wofford College campus or the streets of Spartanburg a large, square-shouldered man, very tall and very straight, with strong, but kindly face and steel-gray eyes, keen and bright as stars. His long stride, his prompt, almost military movements, his rich, powerful voice, more like deep organ notes than anything else to which it might be compared, made him a man who would be noted in any company. Such was Dr. James H. Carlisle, the dean of the brotherhood of teachers in South CaroHna. President Snyder relates that when he was coming to Woi¥ord College, nineteen years ago, Prof. Charles Forster Smith, who had been here both as student and professor, said to him of Dr. Carhsle: He is the most a New Testa- ment man of any you have ever known. The phrase justly describes the great teacher. Dr. Carlisle was possessed of a powerful intellect; his nature was marked throughout by the traits of a strong, great man; but most to be noted, oftenest manifesting itself, farthest reaching in its influence, best revealing the essence of his character, was this : He was the most like the Man about whom the New Testament is written of any we have ever known. James Henry Carlisle was born May the 4th, 1825, at Winnsboro, S. C, and died at his home on the Wofford College campus, October 21, 1909. His father, William Carlisle, was a farmer and physician, who devoted himself to his practice more than to his farming, however, of which latter he was not fond. On his maternal side. Dr. Carlisle was descended from the Buchanans of Scotland, a family noted for centuries for its firm integrity and the broad scholars it has furnished. The Carlisles came to America from northern Ireland, the father in 1818, and the mother. Miss Buchanan, a Httle later. They were married in 1820 in Winnsboro. They were first cousins, and had lived near each other in Ireland. Dr. Carlisle ' s school days were spent first in his native town, and later in Camden, to which place his parents had moved. He was taught by Professors James W. Hudson, master of the famous Mt. Zion Academy at Winnsboro, Mc- Candless, Hatfield, and Leland. Incidents survive regarding this period which show the boy to have been possessed of the same strong emotional nature which as a teacher he sometimes displayed in enforcing his just displeasure. On one occasion a teacher compelled him, as a punishment, to write upon his slate the words stupid goose, and show it around to the scholars. Aren ' t you ashamed ! said the teacher, as the performance was conchided; stupid goose! Quick as a flash tlie boy answered with outraged feelings, No, I ' m not; because it ' s a lie! 68 What happened then the Doctor always decHned to specify; but, regardless of the sequel, the incident is worth what it cost if the child be really father to the man. The family having moved to Camden, the boy was there prepared for the South Carolina College, in which, late in February, 1842, he was enrolled as a Sophomore. The young man rode to Columbia on horseback. He was not well prepared, and I have heard him say that he is sure he could not have passed a rigid entrance examination. But by hard work he won his place and graduated with second honor. General P. H. Nelson, who was killed during the War of Se- cession at the Crater, winning iirst honor. Carlisle ' s graduating speech was on the poet Shelley, and called forth much favorable comment. For the first four years after graduation Mr. Carlisle taught in the Odd Fellows ' Institute in Columbia, and for the next six in the Columbia Male Academy in Columbi a. In those days there were no publicly supported schools, and every schoolmaster collected his own fees. Dr. Carlisle ' s well known aver- sion to money-seeking is exemplified by his remark, made fifty years after this experience, to me as a young teacher going to my first appointment, that he actually felt that rather than go from patron to patron requesting the payment of what was due him, he would have gone to work and earned it over again. The sufifering caused to his sensitive soul by that was great. In i8z|8, while teaching in Columbia, he married Miss Margaret Jane Bryce, of that place. This faithful companion, devoted with rare singleness of heart to her family and its interests, died during the Christmas holidays of 1891. She was the mother of four children, two of whom died in infancy, and two of whom, Miss Sarah Herbert Carlisle, and lames H. Carlisle, Jr., survive their parents. Benjamin Wofiford died in 1850. The college bearing his name was opened in August, 1854. At the Methodist Conference in Newberry in November, 1853, the trustees of the college held a meeting. Said Dr. Carlisle, in talking to a friend some time ago about his early years, In November, 1853, I went to the South Carolina Annual Conference at Newberry. I had registered at the hotel and was going up stairs, when I met several gentlemen coming down. Brother Stacy said to me, T congratulate you. Wofi ' ord College has just been organized and you have been elected professor of Mathematics. ' I was surprised, for it was the first intimation I had had of it. I had not been a candidate. Professor Carlisle, as professor of Mathematics and Astronomy, was thus one of the original Faculty of Wofford College, and, in the expressive words of President Snyder, of him alone it could be said that he knew every student who, up to the present time, has set his foot upon this hill. At the first commencement, June 24 and 25, 1855, there was no graduating class, but the Faculty furnished a sort of salutatory and inaugural program. After the others had spoken, the youngest, Prof. Carlisle, tall, imposing, modest, in the vigor of thirty years of youth, followed, as a hearer expressed it, ' in one of his own happy efforts, at 69 once profound, simple, delightful. ' The subject matter was moral and philoso- phical, ' at times thrilling. ' we can easily believe. A distinct contrast, a contrast which he felt without throwing into prominence, was presented in his close with a portion of the address of President AVightman. ' He extended a fraternal hand to all similar institutions. ' and paid ' a tribute to the South Carolina College— m some sort the mother of us all. said the orator, and hoped that when ' oi¥ord should celebrate its fiftieth anniversary, as the State College is doing this year, that institution, still vigorous and flourishing, might be celebrating its one hundredth. ' The South Carolina Secession Convention was composed of men of great character and ability. Realizing the gravity of the occasion, the people had elected one of the two most distinguished bodies in the pohtical annals of the State, the other being the convention of 1832. To the Secession Convention Dr. Carlisle was a delegate from Spartanburg county. He was also a member of the State House of Representatives in 1863-4. W ' hi e in the House, he made a speech in support of a bill enlarging the common school s}-stem which is described as of great eloquence and power. He was appointed a member of the State Board of Education under Hampton ' s administration. Hugh S. Thompson being State Superintende nt. These were the only political positions he ever filled. In 1875. Dr. A. Isl. Shipp. the second president of the institution, having accepted a position in A anderbilt University. Dr. Carlisle was made president of Wofiford College, in which capacity he served until 1902. at which time, on account of advancing years, he positively refused longer to continue in the position. He was still in perfect health and mental vigor ; but more than a year previously he had announced his intention of retiring from executive duties, and had continued a little longer only at the urgent solicitation of the Board of Trustees. Such a situation is often accompanied by incidents painful to the retiring official and embarrassing to his successor and to the trustees. Never did a man drawing to the close of his years of activity meet all the proprieties of the circumstances in a more perfect manner and spirit. Dr. Henry Nelson Snyder immediately took up the duties of president, and Dr. Carlisle for his remaining years occupied the position of President-Emeritus and Professor of Astronomy and Ethics. He continued to meet his classes six or eight times a week to the commencement preceding his death. Dr. Carlisle was twice sought as the President of his ahiw mater, and a number of times he was offered professorships in other institutions. In the early 70 ' s. for instance, while drawing a few hundred dollars in depreciated greenbacks at WofTord. he was ofi ' ered a position in a California college at $2,000 in gold ; but nothing could induce him to leave Wofford. The degree of LL. D. was conferred upon him in 1870 (or possibly a year or so earlier) -by the Southwestern University, of Georgetown. Texas. He was elected to the first General Conference to which laymen were eligible, that of From sketch of Wofford College, by the present writer, in The Aurora. Details were secured from Dr. Carlisle and a contemporary newspaper account. 70 1870, and was elected to each succeeding General Conference through 1898. He was sent as lay fraternal delegate by his church to the Northern Methodists in their General Conference in Cincinnati in 1880. He was elected a delegate to the first Ecumenical Conference, in London in 1881, and to the second in Washington in 1891. but attended only the latter. His last appearance in public was to make an address before the Wofford College Teachers ' Summer School during the past summer. One of the most affecting incidents ever witnessed in the college chapel was at the commencement exercises in 1895. when Hon. Samuel Dibble, the first graduate of the college, unexpectedly, except to the alumni, stepped upon the rostrum to present to Dr. Carlisle a handsome gold watch and chain, the gift of the alumni in attendance. The recollections which crowded upon the speaker as he voiced his peculiarly fitting sentiments almost incapacitated him for speech. Dr. Carlisle was even more visibly moved. Can this be the yovmg student and this the young professor of fifty years ago? he asked. He ex- pressed his gratitude for the feelings which had prompted the act of his old pupils, and professed his unworthiness of such devotion. He said that there and then he wished to ask the pardon of any student to whom he had ever been unjust. But his words were few, in accordance with his remark on another such occasion, when the students presented him with a token of their affec- tionate regard, that one who could fittingly respond on such an occasion would be unworthy of the occasion. An incident springing from similar sentiments and illustrating the feeling of the people of his home towards him, occurred on his seventy-ninth birthday, About two hundred of the business and professional men of Spartanburg, on the afternoon of May the 4th, 1904, marched in a body to the Doctor ' s residence on the campus and expressed, through Mr. Stobo J. Simpson, their veneration and affection for the man, the teacher, the citizen whose life had done so much for them and their community. One of the most remarkable tributes to the Doctor was the universality of the admiration and affection of which he was the object. The poorest and the most abandou ' ed. the most learned and the most ignorant, the cultivated and sensitive and the most crass and stolid, alike paid homage to his talents and his life. The good saw what they delighted in; the indifferent or vicious, what their better nature bowed to. The Doctor was a faithful teacher in the Sunday School, and was possessed of rare ability to interest, instruct and inspire in his lectures upon the lesson. Said a gentleman recently, some men have the gift of illustrating the Bible from common life, but Dr. Carlisle illustrated common life from the Bible. It was said of Whitefield that he could pronounce the word Alesopotamia in such a way as to melt an audience to tears. This may illustrate what I mean by sa3nng that the effect of what Dr. Carlisle said was immensely enchanced by his tone and manner. Winged words sprung up in the path of his speech as the 71 offspring of his thought suffused with feeling at high tension. Once I remember, in speaking of profane and vulgar language, he turned suddenly to the young men and, with flashing eyes and vibrant tones, exclaimed: The temple of your soul is become the menagerie for the obscene reveling of every unclean beast! It was too hideous, too repulsive; how could one consent to be in such a state? Dr. Carlisle was one of those positive and intensely interesting characters to whom is applied the term a personality. Many are the incidents embalmed in the memory of generations of students illustrating his pathos, his eloquence, his solicitude like a mother ' s for the students, his elevated ideals, and the heat of his righteous indignation. In middle life he was an austere teacher — austere in his methods as an instructor and austere in his treatment of disorderly or unworthy conduct, but relenting freeh ' towards the wrongdoer who showed genuine repentance. Students of a later day, who have sat in the softer light of the evening of a life which had gained all the mellowness but none of the asperity of age, can hardly realize the subHme power of passionate emotion which the great fatherly teacher sometimes displayed. His kindness, his sweet gentleness, were the more engaging for that they were the gentleness of a man of titanic will and a heart of flame. At times his powerful emotions shook his frame, and his audible breathing was like that of an excited charger. The eloquence of his indignation, when thoroughly aroused, was sublime. The Doctor ' s magnanimity was always more than equal to his severity. The following incident, in about 1880, was a painful humiliation to him, but it elevated him in the eyes of his class: After the caUing of the roll, he had requested the class to close their books and had begun the recitation. Soon he noticed a student in the back of the room reading in his text-book. It looked mean ; it appeared a clear, unmitigated case of cheating. The Doctor delivered to the student a terrible reprimand. Then he paused. The offending student said quietly, Doctor, I did not hear you say ' close your books ' . It was like a blow. The man of the large heart attempted no explanation or excuse, but rose from his chair, walked the length of the room with extended hand, and grasped the hand of the student, with the words, expressing much more than their formal appearance on paper can indicate, Mr. , I beg your pardon, 1 beg your pardon ! You know no man unless you know his humor ; I relate the following incident to illustrate the Doctor ' s abundant supply of a fine quahty of this gift. There was at that time a very young but extremely dignified professor, recently returned from Germany. To the di.sgust of the boys, he had introduced the study of Anglo-Saxon, a subject in which he afterwards attained some distinction. One of the students gained unlawful access to his room and wrote upon the board, an excellent piece of rhyming wit at the expense of German scholarship and its local representative. The offender confessed, and, at the 72 instance of the professor, was summoned before the Faculty. The president wore his severest expression and forced his index finger, against which his face rested, to an unusual height along his temple, always regarded by the boys as a sure register of the gravity of the occasion, as he asked, Well, Mr. K., what are you summoned before the Faculty for? With a gesture of helpless innocence and a voice full of pathos (of which he is a master to this day), K. answered, For writin ' po-er-try. Doctor! The Doctor burst into a laugh and dismissed the case without further inquiry. Dr. Carlisle ' s system of discipline as president was his own. It rested upon the principle of disciplining the boy upon the inside instead of the outside. That is, he was never satisfied with any discipline which simply did something to the boy ; he insisted on doing something with and in the boy. Its mechanism con- sisted almost entirely in breaking up the meanness or curing the blindness by a vigorous moral massage, securing a sincere confession of guilt and sorrow and a promise of amendment. This system left no sting; it was not primarily pun- ishment, but reformation ; it looked principally not on the past, but towards the future. Says a competent witness, I have studied the systems of discipline of all the Southern colleges, and Dr. Carlisle ' s gets the best results of them all. In the short talks which he frequently addressed to the entire student body at the morning chapel services, on the occasion of some great man ' s birthday, .some great event in the world, some awful tragedy recounted in the daily press in the life of a young man, or simply because the impulse was upon him, he was unapproachable. After listening, as a member of the Faculty in rapt attention and delight to such words, I have heard middle-aged colleagues who had heard him for many, many years exclaim that no other man could ever put such power into such words. One occasion, which will never be forgotten, was a certain morning on which a great moral question — the eternal question of the young man and the strange woman— demanded strong speech. He requested his colleagues to leave the chapel — a request which 1 never knew him to make except on that occasion. He was, it chanced, in bodily weakness, and seated himself upon the rostrum in a chair. On such occasions, the accidental surroundings of time and place seemed to sink away ; classmates were no longer perceived ; each student seemed to himself to be alone with the man at the other end of his range of vision ; the moments were intense, and it was a relief to the overwrought faculties when one was free to seek the open air. All subjects appealed to the Doctor in their moral or religious aspects, and of him it has been said that he impressed more moral and religious truths upon his students in teaching mathematics than many men might in teaching the Bible itself. This is well illustrated by the following incident in his class in astronomy. The class were listening, under the still heavens of a winter night as, standing in the midst of them, he pointed out various stars and constellations. The 73 natural dignity of his manner was very impressive and suited the grandeur of the subject of which he was speaking. His closing words were, And yet, young men, all these worlds and suns are not worth one human soul. I was awed; I believed it. T had doubtless heard something to the same effect before: but now I knew that it was so. The essential and fundamental feature of the Doctor ' s teaching was the personal contact and influence of the teacher witli the individual student. This inspired his saying, When two hundred and fifty students enter the front door of ' offord College, I go out at the back. He considered that the small college had a mission impossible to be performed by any other agency— a conviction to which many of the most eminent educators are to-day being forced. To sit as a student under such a man was one of the most precious privileges that could come into one ' s life. He was never at his greatest except in the classroom. Indeed many of his public addresses seemed weak by comparison. The intensity of his moral power was at times almost terrible to experience; and while he held men, as between lieaven and earth, seeing themselves and feeling that they were seen as open, uncovered spirits, thoughts and convictions burned them- selves wath w hite heat indelibly into the soul. He seemed privileged to take live coals from off the altar and touch } ' Oung souls with purifying. No teaching was oftener on the Doctor ' s lips than men ' s debt of love and reverence to their mothers. Every mother waN to him holy by her office, her sacrifice, her service; and if woman could be anything other in his mind than what .she is in the best meaning of the word, he never spoiled the ideals of young men bv revealing it. The Doctor was accustomed, generally at the beginning of the session, to impress upon the Faculty in a few sentences, such as he had the gift of uttering, the nature and weight of their responsibilities towards the students gathered from so manv distant homes. It was on possibly the last of such occasions that he spoke of some of the dangers that threatened .American hfe. The strength of the Doctor ' s message was especially to the individual soul, and he did not often discuss problems ; but in this instance, after an illusion to certain tendencies of contemporary life, he concluded with almost the following words: This countrv will never go down in ruin for lack of educated, skilled men; it may go down for lack of moral character. And yet our Lord knew infinitely more of the good and evil in the world than we; He knew all things, and He was no pessimist. No man in his own imperfect character can justly figure Christ; but our dim human eyes, our dull human spirits, sometimes realize more vividly what the Christ on ' earth was, what the living Christ is, from seeing a man or woman who in more than common fullness, fidelity and beauty bodies forth Him. So it was with the great teacher who has gone. Dr. Carlisle will doubtless be recognized as the greatest teacher in the 74 history of education in South Carolina. To repeat words I have elsewhere em- ployed, A glance at the educational field in 1854 gives a jiister conception of his historic position. The present vigorous system of denominational colleges which has powerfully stimulated the ethical and moral element of education in South Carolina, was just taking shape. A great work waited to be done ; an ideal was to be presented and lived up to which was to be far-reaching in the history of South Carolina and was not to be confined to State limits. Conse- crating his life with a singleness of devotion unsurpassed to this ideal and this work, James H. Carlisle has for fifty years put aside all other aim or ambition than to impress with a force titanic in its power and fatherly in its affection ideals of Christly purity and integrity upon the future manhood of the State, and to lead it along the most elevated plains of thought and action. There have been in connection with colleg ' es in the State a few more accomplished orators, some more learned scholars, some equally high charactered men ; but take him for all in all, Dr. Carlisle stands as the greatest teacher in the history of educa- tion in -South Carolina; and he lives and will live, as no other man in South Carolina ever has lived, in the lives of the men upon whose souls he has stamped with overpowering moral force the mint mark of his personality. What Dr. Carlisle might have been from a worldly standpoint, had his great endowments of mind and person been swayed by ambition instead of by the love of Christly service, we can only speculate. So completely had he sur- rendered himself to Christ, so closely did he walk with God, that it seems well- nigh impossible to conceive of him as other than as he was. Those who have lived under the influence of his life testify to it as one of the greatest, often as the greatest, power for good in their lives. And they recognize wh} it was so : the Doctor was absolutely disinterested and unselfish in his deep love for young men. The reverence that was paid him by thousands, in the sincerest love of their hearts, was the expression of their conviction that he exemplified so nobly and so fully what we all ought to be. Distinguished visitors to the college who have known intimately many of the most eminent men of their times, have sought to solve the problem pre- sented to them of the remarkable alfection manifested toward a modest, retiring old man by thousands ; indeed, by men and women wherever there are men and women who may be said to any extent to have knowledge of him. And their explanation of the remarkable power over the hearts, particularly of the succes- sive generations of students, who, for fifty-five years, have sat under his in- struction, has always been essentially the same : his genuine love for young men ; nay, more, for this young man. Dr. Carlisle ' s great abilities led his friends to regret that he did not commit more to the enduring form of literature. His literary work consists mainly of the Young Astronomer, editing the lives of Ascham and Thomas Arnold, voluminous contributions to the Southern Christian Advocate, and those most 75 helpful of all helps on the Sunday School lesson, the Practical Application essays which for years appeared in the Southern : Iethodist Sunday School Magazine. He frequently urged upon his students the happiness and benefits that come from having some definite task, worthy of its nature and magnitude to call out the man ' s best effort— his magnum opus. Men often wondered why the Doctor had no magnum opus why he wrote no great book, or devoted his powers to no great discovery, or threw his strength into no specific line of social or religious work. The doctor did have his magnus opus but it did not lie along the printed page. It was to make the most powerful and lastingly efficacious impression, morally and religiously, upon the young men whom he could reach. It was a favorite thought with him that no holy, unselfish fife, in even the remote ages of the past, is lost, but that its power for good is still in the world ; and without doubt this must have been precious to him, as he sought with singleness of heart to glorify his Creator and Redeemer through the lives of the men who were to live after him. Dr. Carlisle was an idealist, incapable of compromise in a matter in any way connected with morals or principle. Moral ideas appealed to him with all the reality of concrete objects, and a spot upon an institution that he loved occasioned him greater suffering than a personal affliction. This uncompro- mising purity in a man of suclr large and splendid endowments, of such com- manding personality, made his very presence a power for good. It was a saymg that no man could ' look the Doctor in the eye and tell a lie ; the most unworthy feared the searching of those clear eyes and the condemnation of the true man behind them. The combined sentiment of wholesome awe and devoted love which he inspired were the ideal relation of teacher and taught. To the end his thoughts were still of his students. As the dim light broke into his chamber on one of the last mornings he asked the time. Six o ' clock, was the answer. Supposing it to be the early sunset of a winter day, he said. The boys will have a long evening to study. How often will these words come with sweet sadness to the men who read them, helping them, as they take up their tasks, to realize for themselves the truth of his noble saying, The hard points of onerous duties frequently done soon sweeten into the high joys of privilege. The Doctor once said to his class that he could not co nceive how the exist- ence of the soul in heaven could be other than a progressive development of every faculty and virtue towards, but never attaining, the perfection of the Creator. The passing of his soul to that freer state involved truly but little of shock or dislocation. He is gone; but. unless he failed in .the great effort of his hfe, he is not gone from us. All over this land thousands realize that he was truly a channel througli which God touched human souls. 76 James H. Carlisle SAW Orion walk across the sky Grasping a constellation in his hand And belted with three suns about his waist; His eyes were burning toward the horizon line Where heaven ' s turning vault should bear him down To quench his flaming glories in the deep. And then I said, Orion, thou art he — Such gait was his, such eyes, such belt of stars. And such far-burning gaze of fixed soul — That saw death ' s black horizon climb to meet him And still strode forward with his flaming torch To scatter death ' s dark mist and rise in hea ' en!

HE one feature in our American government that has doubtless clone much to make it successful, and which to-day attracts thousands of aliens from foreign shores, is that one which grants to the in- dividual man such gre,at personal freedom. As a bulwark to this personal liberty stands the consti- tutional right of trial by jury. The idea of trial by jury has appealed to liberty loving people for ages ; in fact, so long has some form of it been in existence that its very origin is lost in the mazes of ancient history. It cannot be correctly assigned to any period or to any nation, but is doubtless the slow outcome of long years of experience among a people who were constantly struggling for relief from despotic rule. In the eighteenth century in England it was characterized by Blackstone as the palladium of English liberty, the glory of English law, the most transcendent privilege which any subject can enjoy or wish for. To-day, when, true to its mission, it guarantees to every individual the right of trial by his peers, and stands between him and oppression from any source. Nevertheless, in the practical working of this apparently ideal system of law in our country, there has arisen large cause of complaint on the part of both the people and the State. We face to-day a grave problem, due to the flagrant and increasingly frequent miscarriages of justice in our courts. The verdicts rendered in some recent cases in our country have drawn public attention to the defects in the judicial side of our government, and the trouble seems to lie largely in the method of trying cases before juries. So cjuietly has the change taken place, from the nearly ideal conditions of the past to those of the present day, that our citizenship is not yet fully aroused to the crying need of reform. Fortunately, some of those who occupy high and honorable positions of trust are beginning to realize the importance of immediate improvement. We find our President, our judges, our public men, our progressive editors, our country- loving citizens, fast becoming alive to the needs of the system. Whatever might have been the conditions and results of trial by jury in the past, let us see how it operates now, for it is in its present operation that we are vitally interested. First, our law requires the selection of men for jurymen who are qualified as electors and of good moral character. It would seem that this simple provision might produce a competent jury; but, unfortunately, such is far from the mle. In our own State the causes that would make us discredit the 7 97 ■4 findings of the average jury lie on tlie surface. The primary laws governing our elections are such that many voters do not take advantage of their privilege of voting in the general elections, and consequently do not register for that purpose, therebv making it possible to avoid jury service. This evasion is largely mten- tional on the part of our busy citizens, and is due to many evident reasons. Being confined in their selection to those meeting certain technical requirements, the jury commissioners are circumscribed and unable to furnish the courts with the class of jurors that should be available at all times. Previous to the opening of court the list of qualified jurors is published to the world, and these men immediatelv become the target of all the wiles of shrewd attorneys. Those who are known to be men of strong, upright character, are peremptorily challenged when the cases are called for trial. While only five challenges are allowed the defense in a great number of crimes, in seven of the more important ones, ten challenges are provided for by law; and when two defendants are on trial, twenty challenges are allowed. Of course, these challenges are used to eliminate those who stand for impartial enforcement of the law. .Men who can be manipu- lated are wanted, a great premium being placed upon ignorance. And to-day our juries are the laughing stock of all intelligent people. We should not be sur- prised, then, that the conscientious, true-minded man shuns the humiliating experiences certain to befall him when called for jury service; for he is not wanted, and the law furnishes the defense with methods for quickly informing him of that fact. Does not our very law itself place into the hands of designing criminals, taken care of by shrewd and calculating attorneys, the means of avoiding anv semblance of that for which our courts were estabUshed, the dis- pensation of justice? When we consider the personnel of the jury selected after the manner just indicated, must we be shocked or surprised at the results? Should we throw upon our juries the entire blame, because verdicts are rendered, not according to law and evidence as they should be, but accordmg to the workings of disordered minds, painfully confused by meaningless legal terms, and led astray by over- bearing and emotional persuasion? Should such a jury be expected to bring forth a verdict free from prejudice, and consistent with the evidence and law in the case? Can we expect, under the circumstances, any uniformity in the ad- ministration of so-called justice? Shall South Carolinians be made ashamed because he who safeguards the State ' s legal rights must accept a compromise money fine, rather than risk a verdict from such a jury, knowing full well that truth ' and justice would receive scant consideration from this jury in arrivmg at their decision ? As an illustration, let us compare the convictions obtained in this country with those found in a foreign nation. The average number of murders committed annually in the United States is ten thousand, and the convictions average 1.3 per cent., while in Germany the number of homicides is about six hundred, with convictions running as high as 95 per cent. 98 In the next place, the working of the system is also discredited by the law ' s delay. If perchance, the verdict of the jury is in accordance with truth and justice, we find that technicalities are brought into play and the defense imme- diately makes an appeal. The manner in which many cases have been tried has brought our courts into no small degree of disrepute, and disgust has taken pos- session of our best citizens. It is literally true that indictments are quashed, and new trials granted, on account of some trivial error in crossing- a t, or dotting an 1, or the misspelling of some insignificant word. Conditions are such that our people have come to the conclusion that if one has money, influential friends, and able counsel, the obtaining of an absolute acquittal is only a matter of time. President Taft has taken the following position with reference to this phase of the question: there ought to be introduced into the statutes of every State and of the United States in regard to appeals in criminal cases, and indeed in regard to appeals in civil cases, a provision that no judgment of a trial court should be reversed except for an error, the correction of which the court, after reading the entire record, can affirmatively say would have led to a dififerent verdict and judgment. This would do no injustice and would end reversals for technicalities. Such conditions existing in the very foundation of our government can have but one result : the lowering of public morals and the consequent destruction of public character itself. The irregular and unequal administration of justice constantly disturbs the relationship of the races, and directly accounts for the terrible prevalence of lynch-law. Respect for the results to be obtained from the slow processes of our courts has been lost, and men are often taking such matters into their own hands. In allowing this state of afifairs to continue, we are but furnishing fuel to the sparks of anarchy that, lying more or less aflame beneath every government, we can but know are beneath the very dearest institution of our own country. Those giving this question their earnest consideration, suggest various plans for bringing about the improved conditions. Some go so far as to advocate the abolition of trial by jury and the substitution of trial judges. Others suggest many changes in our present laws, changes designed to meet and overcome the existing evils. Wt believe the system of trial by jury in its purity, is the best one. It has stood the test of centuries, and under it English speaking people have gained supremacy in all lines of national endeavor. The principles of the system look toward the highest possible degree of justice; but we should be deeply concerned to see that in the working out of the details, these principles are not wrenched and the ends of justice defeated. The first radical change necessary relates to the attitude of the public toward jury service. Citizenship places upon the individual certain obligations to the commonwealth, and one of these obligations includes jury service. Let the youth of our land be taught through home training, education, and the example of the best class of our people, that jury ser vice is one of the serious duties of citizen- 9Q ship in our government. He who evades this duty has no right to complain about the miscarriages of justice ; for he has shirked his responsibihty, turnmg the machinery of the law over to the ignorant and vicious to use as they may desire. In this vital matter, our best citizens should make whatever sacrifices are necessary in their personal affairs, in order to serve in the uplifting of the State and nation. By placing themselves properly at the command of our con- scientious jurv commissioners, they may practicall}- determine the character of our juries. The many classes exempted from such service should be greatly reduced. In fact, there are very few professions indeed that should be excused from this public duty. The number of challenges granted should be lowered, making it impossible for the choice of the jury to be manip ulated as at present. Clean, comfortable jury-rooms should be provided; and every incidental objection to jury service should be removed. These improvements can be most quickly brought about through the influ- ence of pubhc opinion. The duty, then, lies heaviest upon those who are in position to mould such opinion. All true citizens should lend their aid, for they are deeply concerned. Our best and foremost newspapers realize the increasing danger, and are working vigoroush ' to impress the facts upon their readers. Our- legislatures must be ready to enact into law those changes that may be sug- gested from time to time by those best situated to offer them. That class which can perhaps do most of all, is the legal fraternity. They are in daily contact with these phases of our life, and realize the imperfections in our legal system. In the profession are many who are only too glad that the present conditions do exist, so that they may take advantage thereof in their nefarious practices. Lawyers of this character, however, do not predominate, for all over our country are those who are men of the very highest type of manhood. From such, those who fill the positions on the bench, and those who lead in all that is best before the bar, we expect that activity in leadership that is necessary in this crusade. We will expect them to ehminate from their profession, as far as possible, that undesirable class which fattens on the existing defects in our system. A ' e beseech our judges, who are just, patriotic and intelligent citizens, to fill their positions with that aggressi eness in character that will speed the causes of justice. An improved public conscience will be the first and most important result of the awakening of our people to conditions as they really exist. Throughout the length and breadth of our fair land a wholesome fear of the law will prevail, and criminals will no longer flaunt themselves before the eyes of the world, secure in their knowledge that they can escape deserved punishment. The rights of our fellowmen, and human life itself, will be held more sacred. Our courts will assume the position originally intended for them in the formation of our govern- ment, and all over our country even-handed justice shall reign supreme. H. GRADY HARDIN, ' ii. lOO The Poetry of Nature HERE ' S a truer, greater poetry that cannot be put in rhyme; It is fraught with deeper feehng, higher purpose, more subHme; ' Tis the poetry of Nature, ' tis the music of the soul; Only in our hearts we feel it for in words it can ' t be told. Life ' s a poem, and the poet is he who can make it rhyme. Who can set the words to music, and can make his soul keep time; For in all of life there ' s poetry if our hearts can catch the beat And can turn it into stanzas, into verses, into feet. Everyone can hear the music in the sighing of the breeze, As it whistles ' round the corners, as it stirs among the trees; In the murmuring of the brooklets, in the chirping of the birds We can hear the poem ' s music — matters not about the words. In our souls we hear the beating, hear the melody and rhyme As in smooth and sweet cadences all the world is keeping time. Now it rises, now it falls and now it surges to and fro. And the melody grows sweeter than it ever was before. In the harmony of the universe, in the creation of man We can see the poem ' s unity, and His all-divining plan. Yes, in everything there ' s poetry whether it be great or small, For the God who rules above us. Greatest Poet, made it all. W. G. HAZEL. lOI A Heart of the Hills HE warm sunshine of the September evening fell full 1 Ml • 1 ' i ' k,ir ' l-« frA a On the horizon beneath were itrasting with the darker hues beneath. Half hidden by wwr -rr r i - - uj a - rove of trees on the top of a low hill was a small bS neatly built house. The well-kept yard and friendly shelter of the trees Sled to the attractiveness of the place, and the onlooker must have said to himself that this was, in truth, a home. , . , r As the shadow of the lofty hill west of the place reached the grove, a man of middle age came down the steps. His strong, healthly form showed his life had been led in active, out-door exercise. He had only gone a few yards when a clear voice called to him. and he turned to answer the question of the fifteen- year-old girl standing on the porch. ■ Only going to get the cows, he said with a smi e. Then I-ll go, too, and open the gate for you, and she ran hghtly after him. His face li-hted up as he gazed upon her slender, graceful figure and into her clear blue eyes: shaded by r ebellious brown locks, and cheeks showing the bloom of health • the pride of his heart, almost his idol. Back ' of the house thev turned into a wide lane that led down to the valley. On their right a narrow field of corn stretched toward the north between the wooded slopes of the enclosing hills, while on the lelt was the rapid descent of the Sley to a still lower level. Climbing the steep slope m front hey came to he gate of the lane at the top. There they paused a moment both lost m gazing pon the silent beauty of the scene, she with eyes aglow with the enthusiasm of imaginative youth, while his sliowed the deep, quiet love and appreciation brought by the associations of forty years. , r ,. a k,-; :Hv • But quickly recalled to the homelv cares of earth, the farmer star ed biiskly alone the path which ran down the steep hill, and across the valley to the pasture a nuarter oi l mile away. The girl turned, and picking her way for a few steps acrosfthe half bared edges of rock, she came to the edge of the b uf¥, the spot from which she could obtain the best view of the scene she so loved. Vehmd her the long, narrow wooded ridge stretched toward the north and was los in he higher W- At her feet was the abrupt descent of over a Inmdrec feet to the little stream in the ravine below. On the opposite side rose 1 e coi-responding bluff, almost as hi h, but not so steep.. To the west was a succes ion of hilll and valleys, rising higher toward, the distant mountains. To the southeast the eye traced ' the course of a small river along narrow but green aLys Sed by low hills, some wooded, others showing small fields of corn and 102 cotton. From point to point her eyes wandered, taking in the part each played in the whole scene, until her gaze rested upon the stream below. The steady mur- mur of its waters pouring over the rocky bed came up to her as though telling her of its purpose to reach the broader world beyond the horizon. She followed the course to where it joined the larger stream, and traced the windings to the scar on the eastern horizon, where it passed from sight. She thought of the journey to the sea, the towns and cities it passed. And one place she knew of, by the banks of this same river, where men and women had devoted their lives to training the minds of those who came under their care. And many were the times that the mighty longing tugged at her heart that she might some day at this place broaden her mind and widen her life; a longing born of the taste of knowledge she had already acquired. But there was little more than a living to be had from the old hills around, though they gave the best of the little they had. And while the river called to her, regardless of circumstances, the hills seemed to sympathize with her, and grieve that it was not in their power to give her the desire of her heart. She leaned lower on the gray mass of stone at her side, as her imagination pictured the seemingly impossible. A great hawk suddenly sailed though the air overhead and settled upon the top of a dead tree in the ravine. As he turned his head from side to side, a feeling of resentment against the intrusion of this cruel bird rose within her, and picking up a small stone, she threw it towards him. The hawk half spread his burnished wings as the missile came near him, then settled back on his perch ; and she fancied she could almost see the angry light in his eye as, turning his head to one side, he looked at the height above. Going back a few steps, she stooped for another rock, when she started back as she almost put her hand on a large snake, a hideous looking moccasin. But with real determination and seeming courage she seized a stick as though to attack the coiled reptile. Let me kill him for you, said a voice behind her, startling her almost as much as had the first sight of the snake. A tall form brushed by her, and the next instant she saw the broken-backed moccasin striking vainly at his enemy in helpless, venomous rage. A few more blows and the bov, for he seemed about eighteen, with his stick tossed the snake far over the bluff. As though insulted, the hawk sprang from his perch and wheeled away through the air to more con- genial quarters. As the moccasin disappeared from view, Alice Edgeton turned with interest for a closer look at the stranger who had come at such an opportune time. She saw a rather handsome, well-built youth, clad in full hunting garb, on his left arm a light rifle, while in his right hand was his hat and the stick which had been of such good service. As for the boy himself, he gazed in secret admiration on this maid of the hills, and indeed he might have been pardoned, for, laughing in slight confusion as she_ thanked him for his aid, her heightened color making her even more attractive. I am really very grateful to you, for T believe I would have been foolish enough to have attacked his majesty, and might have been struck. You certainly came in the nick of time. Immediately disclaiming any great service on his part, and expressing his pleasure in doing a slight favor, he explained his presence at that timely moment. 103 I had just left my chum on the hill yonder, pointins: to a wooded slope near the river about a mile away, getting our camp ready for night, while I came on here to get a shot at something; or at least I told him so, for I really came to get a view of this sunset. But he failed to mention the fact that he had been standing behind a nearby pine since the father and daughter first appeared. Naturally, both turned for another look at the now setting sun, and it was a sight well worth the youth ' s trouble, if that indeed had been his reason for climbing the hill. While they waited for the farmer to arrive, the conversation drifted easily along the scenery of the country and the trials and delights of camp life in the hills till, while they stood by the blufif, he asked her a question as though the thought had been revolved in his mind more than he might care to admit. Tell me, is there any pass or gap like this anywhere near here? She shook her head decidedly. Not for many miles in either direction. Why? Are vou thinking of building a railroad that you are picking out the best route? He started a little and seemed somewhat confused, and then in a burst of boyish frankness that showed how near was the subject to his heart, he said : You came nearer to it than you possibly thought, only T have very little to do with the road, and asked only from personal interest. Then he told her of a railroad that was to be built along the valley of the same river, and must undoubtedly pass the ridge by the ravine, as it was on the direct line and would save some expense. She listened with eager interest, and warmed by the flattering fact of her attention, he went on further, telling more of the undertaking and what it would mean to the country. But I ought not to be telling you this, for it is not known to the public yet, and I might get in trouble about it. I talk too much anyway, he added ruefully. Laughing at his confession of weakness, she hastened to assure him of the perfect safety of his confidence, and then asked him more of the subject she readily saw was uppermost in his mind. He told of his determination to go with his friend over the supposed route before it was surveyed, and added that his father would be in charge of the con- struction of nearly all the fifty miles of the line which was to connect two large cities. 1 don ' t suppose your fatlier will object to selling a right of way through his land and through the gap, will he? he inquired. Why, of course not, she answered at once. He will be only too glad to learn that such a road is to be built. But I must remember to say nothing to him about it. Then a thought darted through her mind. Sell ! And railroads pay high for their right of way ! The blood surged to her face at the mighty pounding of her heart before she could repress what she regarded as a foolish emotion. She inwardly thanked heaven that at that moment the sounding of the bell had caused the boy to turn his head. The cows were just coming up the last steep slope of the hill, and she ran to open the gate. The surprised father looked keenly at the strange young fellow, but even before he heard the explanation of his presence, he was very favorably impressed by his open, manly face. His manner spoke of a cultured home, while from his dress his family might be of some means. 104 The kindly farmer warmly urged him to bring his friend to spend the night at his home, but the boy, though showing his appreciation of the kindness, ex- plained that they must start again before dawn next morning, and could not trespass on them in such a manner. Richard Arnold, mused the farmer to himself as with Alice he climbed the hill to their home. A good name, it soimds like to me, and he seems to be a ' nice young fellow. But beyond a slight assent she made no reply. The boy had started briskly down the hill toward the west, but when out of sight he paused, and a little later might have been seen near the spot he had just quitted, looked down into the darkening ravine. Possibly not all of his thoughts were of the railroad to be built through there; at any rate, the twilight had deepened into night before he roused himself and began his circuitous route to his friend at the camp. Three months later the survey had been made, and true to Arnold ' s predic- tion, it passed through the ravine. Shortly afterwards the sale of the right of way was satisfactorily arranged. The dream of Alice Edgeton was to come true, and the following September she entered the college of her choice. Not once through the four years of her course did she see Arnold, though several times they narrowly missed each other. Some strange chance seemed to forbid their ever meeting again. But from many sources she learned of the fine record he was making, first at college, where he graduated with high honors, then in the course he took in order to fit himself to be a partner with his father. His love for his profession and his ambition to rise high in it combined with his natural talent to carry him onward. During his vacation nearly all of his time was spent with his father in the construction of various railway enterprises, and the practical knowledge thus gained afterward proved of greatest value. Although her life was well taken up with her work, work none the less pleasant though hard, perhaps at times Alice ' s mind drifted back to that evening in the past, and then she might have idly wondered if she would ever again see her acquaintance so strangely met. Three years passed, but work on the railroad in which she felt such a personal interest was not begun. The affairs of the company were tied up by a seemingly endless litigation that at one time threatened its very existence. But at last the company won, an d when Alice went home at Christmas of her senior year, work on the line was well under way. The firm of . rnold Son had been given the contract for the whole line, and their great force of men and machinery had started the work in earnest, when the elder man ' s health had broken down completely, and he had been compelled to go to a distant resort. But instead of turning the work over to other firms, Richard Arnold had taken the whole responsibility on himself. Under his man- agement the construction was being pushed with utmost dispatch, and by his tireless energy and seeming genius the line bade fair to be finished on time. But many doubted if even his powerful young manhood could stand the strain. Alice did not see him during her stay, as he was then with his father. If she thought frequently of him during the months following, if her sympathy and admiration for him grew as the days passed, she could easily attribute her interest to the fact of his brave efifort in his work. The letters from home told her of the uninterrupted progress of the construction, and the certainty of its being com- pleted by June, the time the contract expired. The elder Arnold, though im- proving, was not yet able to give any thought to the work, and his son still bore the whole burden. 105 The weeks passed very quickly for Alice. Almost before she realized it, commencement had come, and the four years of her college course, with their toils and pleasures, were at an end. Two weeks later she reached home, and nothing appeared to mar the happiness of the little family. The tender pride of the parents seemed amply justified in their daughter, who returned from college the same simple, unafifected girl she was when she entered. Where now, Alice? asked her mother the following afternoon, as the girl ran down the steps. , -,1 n f t-u To the ridge. I want to see if the railroad has spoiled my valley ot the A few minutes later she stood by the same gray mass of rock on the bluff. With the exception of the roadbed far below, so close to the bottom of the ravine that it appeared to be barely above the channel of the stream, everything was as before. Her eyes shone with quiet joy as she looked on the scene so dear to her heart. , . t t. Her mind went back to the evening, now nearly five years ago, when she received the first intimation of the changes that had taken place. The events of that evening came before her mind, and so real was the picture that, as she turned at the sound of a slight footstep, she scarcely started when she faced Richard ™°Her greeting was instant, and as she held out her hand, the pleased smile of welcome and the evident sincerity of her words sent a glow through the heart of the one before her, and his rather confused words m return showed not only his pleasure at the meeting but also at the welcome. f In one quick, interested glance, they looked each other over. The hgure ot the man fulfilled all the promise of the boy of eighteen— powerful, erect and healthy— and in his face and form Alice found a realization of the image she had formed in her mind. The face that showed the determmation his work had evidenced had not lost the old frank, almost boyish look. His elastic young man- hood even in the short time given it, had recovered seemingly entirely from the strain of the past months, and his eye was not languid nor his step lax. On his part, Arnold wondered if he had ever seen one in whom grace ot figure and charm of expression were so well combined. Four years of study that had put her at the head of her class had not marred nor altered the healthtul color on her cheek, nor dulled the brightness of her eye. From girl to woman, she had not changed, but developed. So we meet again, she said laughingly— ' ' the same place, the same hour, with only the difference of a few years in time ! But in his reply he expressed the length of time more emphatically. Nearly five years a o I met you, the first and onlv time, and it has looked since as though 1 would never see you again. I had determined to be at your college during com- mencement, but before I started, a telegram saying that my father was worse called me to him instead. A week ago, however, he became much better, and i came on back, for two reasons. One was that I had not seen this part of the work since it was finished ; and the other — .„ „ , , , • - i Was to catch one more glimpse of these old hills, she broke m with seeming enthusiasm, for I know you said before that you climbed this hill to see the sunset. . , • , r i • Arnold would have set her right on this point, but without waiting tor him to speak, she turned towards the ravine and started another subject. T06 I have just been admiring your work, I heard of your great achievement in carrying it out single-handed, and when I think of the task you set yourself to, I can only wonder that you succeeded so well. Naturally embarrassed at this warm praise, he reddened a little, and said the honor was not due to him, but to those who worked with him in the construction. She shook her head, as evidently unconvinced, she smiled at his modest state- ment, but without speaking, she looked down at the ravine and railroad below. Tell me, she asked, why is it that while most railroads utterly destroy any- thing beautiful they pass through, this one seems to have slipped into its place as though it belonged there, hardly changing the valley at all ? They told me, he answered, and his voice showed which had been the ruling mind, they told me that I was a fool for taking pains to keep from scarring and ruining such a scene. But I had my way, and I can defy anyone to say the roadbed suffered in consequence. Alice wondered skeptically if he had carried out this plan along the whole line. She knew why he had been so careful at this place ; she needed no second glance at his face to tell what was going on in his mind ; but she gave no sign of the fact, and in seeming enthusiasm, she exclaimed : And you took so much trouble to keep from spoiling a bit of hill and valley? I had no idea that such a thought ever even entered the mind of an engineer ! But he was too much in earnest to see the mischievous gleam in her eye- ' or to catch the irony in her tone ; and he threw all reserve to the winds as in a quick, tense voice he began : It was not that I loved the place, but — he hesitated a little, but only for a very, very little while ; then he went on. R. L. M., ' i2. Sometime, Somewhere m Y heart no longer feels its dearth, For tho ' love has not found its birth, ' Tis smouldering there And will flame forth when her I meet— The good, the innocent, the sweet — Sometime, somewhere. O will her eyes be black or blue? Her cheeks flushed with the rose ' s hue? And will her hair Be wild in glowing curls, or tame And raven black, whom I shall claim Sometime, somewhere? If black her eyes, how fair! If blue The same sweet fact were also true. I have less care Of what her outward form shall be Than what her soul shall mean to me. Sometime, somewhere. O may her soul be heavenly sweet, With love and sympathy replete, Pure and sincere! Be this her beauty, if no more. Whom I shall honor, love, adore, Sometime, somewhere. H. F. GAULT 107 The Pied Piper of Converse {With all necessary apologies to Air. Browning.) CONVERSE school, you know, Is in the Spartan City; Rock Cliff River, deep and wide. Washes its wall on the eastern side : But when begins my ditty. Almost five long months ago. To see those students suffer so From rats — it was a pity. Rats!! They fought the dogs and killed the cats. Nestled in closets and under mats. Behind the mirrors and under the beds, And even upon the poor girls ' heads. Behind the pictures upon the wall; If anything moved, a rat would fall. There was always confusion among the girls; They were always fixing up their curls. Trying forever to hide those rats Which managed to nestle beneath their hats. At last the faculty together came To discuss some plan of putting to shame The rats which had all but taken the place; But no plan to them ever showed its face. At length, much provoked, the dear Dr. Pell Broke silence and said, My life I would sell If the pestilence of rats in this place I could quell. I wish that I had every rat in a well, In a minute, of rats, there ' d be nothing to tell. Just as ' he said this, then what should hap At the chamber door but a gentle tap? Bless me, he cried, what ' s that, a rat? No; only a scratching of shoes on the mat. Anything like the sound of a rat Made his poor old heart go pit-a-cum-pat. Come in! at length the Doctor cried; And a stranger, a piper, stood by his side, Who slowly approached the council table — And it please Your Honor, said he, I ' m able By means of a secret charm to draw- After me, such as you never saw, All creatures living beneath the sun. That creep, or fly, or swim, or run. Now, as for what your brain bewilders. Will you give me a thousand guilders If I can rid Converse of rats. Without molesting you all with cats? One? — fifty thousand! was the exclamation Of the astonished Doctor and corporation. , Into the street the stranger stepped, ' Then, like a musical adept. To blow his pipe his lips he wrinkled And blew so hard his bright eyes twinkled. io8 And ere three notes the pipe had uttered, You heard as if an army muttered ; And the muttering grew into a grumbUng; And the grumbling grew into a mighty rumbUng; And out of the college the rats came tumbling. Great rats, small rats, lean rats, brawny rats, Brown rats, black rats, grey rats, tawny rats, Fathers, mothers, uncles, cousins. Families by the tens and dozens. Brothers, sisters, husbands, wives. Followed the piper for their lives. From street to street he piped, advancing, And step by step they followed, dancing, Until they came to Rock Cliff River Wherein all plunged and soon had perished — Save one, whose life a Sophomore cherished And which (it is said), she fondles ever. Then back to the college the piper went And demanded his money, every cent; But the Doctor and faculty paused at this, For they thought of the good things they would miss, If they paid the piper the amount agreed; So the poor man ' s words they did not heed. Once more he stepped into the street And blew from his pipe three notes so sweet That the birds in the air and the flies on the wall Abandoned their twitter and ceased to crawl. And then was a scene that is hard to believe; In the place of each rat which lately did leave. Three Pompom curls, a wavy switch. A puffer fluffer and a Turban Coif, Approached the Verse with a fearless air; Yet how they did it is mighty queer. They entered the college, the rooms and the halls. Got under the sofas and up side the walls. Behind the pictures and under the beds, And soon they were on all the student ' s heads. But they didn ' t stop coming when Converse was full, But they came, and kept coming, till the whole country was full. The Doctor was dumb, and the faculty stood As if they ' d been changed into blocks of wood, Unable to move a step, or to cry To that new kind of hair dress that was hastening by. Then the faculty, of course, repented their deed. And they wished they ' d complied with the trade they ' d agreed ; For now they ' re troubled, yes, very much more. By the Turban Coif than by the rats of before. R. E. M, 109 ■4 Senior Speakers Hazel, W. G. Dawsey, C. B. Davis, J. K. Newton, R. L. DuBosE, B. M.

GRADY HARDIN nner Inter-Collegiate Oratorical Contest 117 I MISS MARY DuPRE Librarian The Advance Movement at Wofford During the Last Ten Years OOKING across the last ten years, the changes for the better in the old college seem to fall into three groups, which might be summarized under the general ideas of college spirit, equipment and curriculum. I mean college spirit in a wide and somewhat inclusive sense. And first, as to the more narrow meaning of college enthusiasm and esprit dc corps. To the feeling which Wofford men have always had, and which is the best part of college spirit at all times, of deep affection for the old mother and of personal attachment to her as having contributed to one ' s life what no other institution can, has been added something of community conscious- ness, of a more hale and hearty comradeship, of institutional enthusiasm and pride. These things cannot be measured and catalogued; but, still it seems to me that there have, especially during the past few years, been well defined tendencies in those directions, and that certain sides of student nature profitable to be developed have been stimulated. Associated with this is the better feehng of unity in the student bod}-. There is less of invidious social pretention, less sharp lines of opposition, and a good deal more real brotherliness. Another gratifying change is the heartier and healthier attitude of the Y. M. C. A. toward the campus life. This great agency for good seems to me to have learned to inspire a higher regard and to get closer to the lives and needs of the students than was the case ten years ago, and, as a consequence, the religious side of the college should reap great benefit. In the material equipment of the college there have been several notable advances. In icjoi the main building of our valuable neighbor and ally, the Fitting School, was constructed, and its recitation hall a few years later ; in 1904 the John B. Cleveland Science Hall was completed, and in 1909 the Whitefoord Smith Library made possible by the bequest of Aliss Julia Smith. The Science Mall had become a necessity on account of the doubling of the forces and work in the sciences. The expansion in these lines since 1903, when the work formerly done by one professor was divided and enlarged, has been the most significant development in the curriculum in many years. The books were moved into the new building during the Christmas holidays, in December, 1909, and for the first time since the growth of the librarv during the past few years, adequate quarters were available for this branch of the college ' s work. ' A large proportion of the most serviceable books have been purchased during the past five years; the greater portion of the working library has been catalogued and indexed on the card system, and the benefits derived from the systematic, scholariy use of books much increased. Seven new professors, ' in charge of departments or portions of departments, have been added, making, when redistribution of work is considered, a net gain of six instructors. Fortunately, the finances have measured up to the demands of a growing institution. The splendid loyalty of the Conference to the college has been in evidence in their increased appropriation ; the campaign of Dr. R. A. Child has secured subscriptions for over $100,000 to be added to the endowment, besides the accessions from the Twentieth Century Fund ; Rev. E. L. Archer ' s generous gift of $10,000 for the lames FT. Cariisle .Memorial Hall, together with the ifts of manv other friends of the college, assures a modern $50,000 dormitory within the next few months. Friends of education outside the State have also assisted in equipping A of- ford for its larger future. The General Education Board has promised $25,000 on the collection of $100,000 from other sources for the endowment. This is being paid as the notes taken by Dr. Child mature, and Ir. Carnegie has pledged $20,000, upon the collection of a certain amount of the same funds. Lastly, the curriculum, in the revision of which, since 1903, is recorded very strikingly the expansion of the college into a conservative, modern institution. 120 Until the session of 1903-4, every student was required to take every course offered by the Faculty, except that he might choose between Greek and the two modern languages, French and German. In that session Biology and Sociology were introduced, and the courses in Physics, Chemistry and Geology were prac- tically doubled in number. Applied Mathematics was begun in 1908-9. Regular classes in History were begun as recently as 1899-1900. Thus we have worked out a conservative elective system of a very flexible and serviceable sort, in which the Freshman may give his course a predominantly scientific or linguistic ten- dency, subject to modification but not mutilation at the beginning of each suc- ceeding year as experience and unfolding natural tendencies may suggest, without Its being possible at any time to run to the two extremes often observed in larger mstitutions of excessive specialization or discordant combination. When we consider the real efifectiveness of the college in securing the best development of varied types of mind, and of promoting the highest degree of productivity with a given combination of men and equipment, the new curriculum constitutes possibly the most important advance during the past ten years. Intimately associated with this is the raising of the Freshman entrance requirements from eight and one-half to fourteen units. Wofiford stands with the very first in this campaign of educational advance, and has thereby done an incalculable service to the cause of secondary as well as collegiate education in the State. These forward steps of the past ten years are not rehearsed in any boastful spirit; but they may serve to impress Woiford men, and other friends of education as well, that the college is alive to its opportunities and its duties, and is inspired with a fixed determination to meet with high purpose and ideal the larger future.

A few of these were on the team last year, but the majority were new men. In the last week of November, Dir ector Keaton picked the following men for the team : Holroyd, Moore, Alexander, Schockley, Ayers, Anderson, Patterson. Sims, H. R., Sims, H. S., Davenport, Breeden, Johnson, Young and Sprott. AVilkes was chosen as the funny man. The team then elected Moore manager, and Holroyd captain. Although the general impression was that the gym team would not take any trips, on the night of February 28th, we found ourselves in Laurens. We left Spartanburg that evening, during a drenching rain, and when we arrived in Laurens, the sky still looked threatening, although it had ceased raining. Mr. and Mrs. J. L. Tolbert entertained Keaton, Patterson and the two Sims, and the others, excepting Johnson, who was with relatives, went to the Gilkerson House. Our exhibition that night was attended by about thirty or forty people. But we had better luck at Lander, where we had the biggest audience of the trip. Next day, which was Wednesday, we were invited by Doctor Wilson to dine at the college. After dinner we were shown over the college, which is arranged very nicely. In leaving we gave a few yells for Lander, which has certainly made a hit with us. Our next stop was Honea Path. Llere eight boys went to the hotel, and two — Holroyd and Anderson — stopped with Mrs. Sullivan. The other five — Keaton, Ayers, Patterson, Llenry and Hugo Sims — were entertained by Mrs. W. D. Mann. The girls in Honea Path outnumber the boys five to one, so Anderson and Holroyd, always ready to lend aid to a losing fight, remained in Honea Path until that evening, while the team journeyed on. The general impression was that they had lost their hearts in the encounter. We reached Anderson at about 12, and went to the City Y. M. C. A. Here we were welcomed by Mr. Alexander, their secretary. Fred Felkel, an old Wofford boy, took Keaton, Ayers and Sprott to Mr. Brissey ' s, where they were delight- fully entertained. We left Anderson about 10 and arrived in Greenwood at i. A few members of the team went to the hotel here, but most of the team stayed with Holroyd at his home. After the exhibition, the team was invited to take supper with Rev. Holroyd. Here were stayed until i o ' clock, and then had to walk two miles to the depot. 155 Several Wofford Ixws came over to Greenville Friday, but didn ' t get there in time to see much of ' the performance. Charlie Schockley. who was unable to accompany us on the entire trip, jomed us and took part in the performance We were all glad to see Professor Mooney. He was pressed into service and took in the coin at the door for us. This ended our first trip and we rushed back to books when we reached Spartanburg, and. to use a slang expression, had to study some, for exams were approaching, and woe be to the man who fell be ow ten ours . j): Twentv-one davs later, which was Friday. March 25th. we went to Greer. Here as we were performing under the auspices of the Woman s Missionary Society we were entertained by the ladies. Mr. Hayes, who graduated from Wofiford last vear. took us to the various homes where we were to stay and m n.anv other ways helped to make us have a good time. school house and had quite an appreciative audience. We go back to Spartan- bur? at 7 A. M. Saturdav. and just think, we only missed one class. This trip put the team in fine form, and we gave what probably will be our last performance, at Harris Theatre on Tuesday. March 29th. Here we had a verv good audience, for which we did our best. Owing to an indisposit on Wilkes relinquished his post of honor as clown to Arthur Ayers, who acquitted himself very creditably. 156 Members of Gymnasium Team W. M. Moore, Manager B. D. Alexander A.

Y far the most helpful and widely represented organization on the campus is the Young Ylen ' s Christian Association. It is officered and conducted by the 3 ' oung men for their own mental, social and religious development. Its membership is not compulsory, but nearly every boy in college has joined. Every student in the Freshman Class is a member. It is likely that we have the largest percentage of membership that there has been since the establish- ment of the Association, thirty-one years ago. The good done by this body of young Christian gentlemen, and the character- building influences that they foster and set in motion are immeasurable. Life among the boys is made bright, happy and ennobling. Practically all the Wofiford boys come from Christian homes, and the Association is always active in giving the helping hand and speaking the kind word when the new student first comes upon the campus. He is made to feel that, if he is among strangers, they are his friends — each eager to help him. It is the aim and purpose of the Association to create home-like influences ; to help the young man fight his battles and temptations — encouraging the good, discouraging the evil. And it is for these reasons that the college department of the general Association movement has become the most potent factor influencing our higher education in the American colleges of to-day. The work here is divided into several departments, cliief among which are : The Ministerial Band, the Mission Study Circle, the Personal Workers Band, and the Bible Study Classes. The largest and most influential department is the Bible Study, divided into thirteen classes, embracing the entire campus. The leadership is filled voluntarily by the students, and meetings are held once a week in one of the rooms of the boys who belong to each class. The meetings have been sources of much pleasure socially, as well as being helpful in a moral and religious way. Then we have come together every Friday evening in our Hall and there held our weekly prayer meeting. A goodly number of the boys have taken active interest in these, and many heart-to-heart talks have been made, the results of which will be great and far-reaching. We send representatives to all the State and National Conventions. These delegates coming in contact with the force, vitality and idealism of youth, make inspiring reports upon their return. Faithful Christian work has been done by all the departments and com- mittees. All in all, this has been a successfid year, financially, socially and spiritually. Ministerial Band OFFICERS W. V.

SPEAKE, Pastor COLLEGE CHAPEL A PROFESSOR ' S RESIDENCE The Fitting School N North Church Street, occupying the entire block between College and Evans Streets, is a grove of large oak trees, well back in which are three large brick buildings. This is the home of Wofiford College Fitting School and has been since 1895. Having originated with the college as a mere preparatory class, it has had a very varied history, finally developing into a distinct school, with its own methods, ideas and aims. This separateness from the college began in 1887, when the property of the old Spar- tanburg Female College was purchased for its use. With Professor A. G. Rembert as its headmaster, the school began very encouragingly, with an enroll- ment of sixty-one. Since that time the enrollment has increased from time to time until this year, when it has reached one hundred and fifty-eight. The Fitting School remained in the old Female College buildings until 1895, when it came again to Wofford campus, using Alumni Hall as both dormitory and recita- tion building. In 1901, in the month of January, the building was burned. By the month of November of the same year, the building was repaired, and another more up-to-date structure erected near it. For five years these buildings met the demands of the school, but by 1906, the growth had been so great that a third building became necessary and was erected It consists of five class-rooms and a chapel, and is thoroughly equipped. The present ITeadmaster, Professor A. M. DuPre, was elected in 1897, upon the resignation of Professor A. G. Rembert, to take the Chair of Greek in Wof- ford College. The number of men upon the F ' aculty has varied from time to time, there being six men during the year just past. The increase in enrollment this year has been principally in day pupils — last year there being thirty-nine, and this year sixty-two. The year 1909-1910 has been a vear of prosperity and advancement, and the school has come to feel itself more than ever a part of the life of the com- munity. Almost every phase of life which a regular college community has, the Fitting School has come to have. There is the Y. M. C. A., with a large and enthusiastic membership, in connection with which a well-attended Bible Class has been run. A baseball and a tennis association represent the athletic efforts of the boys. A monthly publication, which is run exclusively by the Fitting School students, has had a year of success. A music club has been organized, which has 185 developed a taste for music among the boys, and helped those talented to give themselves most excellent training. And so in these and other ways, the boys have come to feel themselves no mean part of the college life, and are really becoming more and more recognized as an invaluable asset of Wofford College. The ' ' school is doing a work distinctly its own. It is meeting the demands of three classes of bovs, viz. : First, those boys who desire to prepare themselves for entrance to Wofford College. This has always been the prime purpose of the school, and from time to time it furnishes the very best of men for the Freshman Class. The second demand satisfied is that of boys who feel that, though they are to be deprived of a college course, they must have an elementary training before they need try to confront the battle of life. So from year to year the Fittmg School turns out men well grounded in the fundamentals of an education and prepared to pursue their studies farther for themselves. A third demand satisfied is that of boys who desire preparation for entrance to other colleges of the South. From year to year there are men attending school here with the avowed purpose of entering some other college than Wofford. In many ways the Fitting School may prove a great advantage to a boy. The completeness of the discipline, the close association of boy with boy. and the personal oversight and interest of the teacher in the matter of studies, char- acter, ambitions, etc.. help a boy of the preparatory school age in a way seldom fully realized by the casual thinker. 1 86 Fitting School Faculty J.

This exclamation was uttered by Joe Williams as he flung open his room door and threw himself into a chair before the fire. He was a large, well built fellow, standing about six feet two inches. . .. What is the matter now? drawled Frank Matheson, his room-mate. He was about as small as the other was large. His drawl showed that he was a Southerner. O confound it! T went to see Gertrude Alerryweather, and you know I have been going with her for the last three years, asked her to marry me, and — She refused, broke in Frank. . Of course - if she hadn ' t I would have been the happiest man m Georgia to-nioht I told ' her I was almost through mv college course and had plenty of money to live on, though I did not mean to be idle all my life, replied Joe, dis- guste ' dlv. . , -r Well, old fellow, Fll -ager that she was just trying you out and it you follow my advice we will conquer her yet. said Frank in a tone which showed that he meant what he said. . • , i i . For an hour the two sat thinking and planning. At last Joe said he thought that would be enough to tell whether she was fooling him or not. As it was only a week until commencement, and as Joe was to make a speech on that occasion, they decided to wait until afterwards to put their plans into execution. They talked awhile about their coming graduation, but every now and then Joe would return to the old subject. , , , i r u Joe continued to go to see Gertrude just as regularly as he had betore. tie succeeded in keeping from showing his disappointment. She seemed just as glad to see him as if nothing had happened. The last night of commencement came and Joe made a fine speech m behalt of the Senior Class. He was simplv overwhelmed with presents and received congratulations on all sides. That night as he walked home with Gertrude, he thought she talked as if she might have changed her mind, but he did not say anything. He told her good-bye and said that he did not know whether he would see her very soon or not, but would write her. The next day he and Frank went rowing, as the}- had about three hours before train time. ' They rowed across the lake and Joe got out. and after telling Frank good-bye. he set off for the nearest railway station, which was about four miles off Frank rowed around for a while and then turned the boat over. As he was an expert swimmer, he got out all right, except for his clothes He walked to town and told of how he had a very narrow escape, and that Joe had been drowned in spite of all his efforts to rescue him. A large party was formed and went to search for Joe. Thev searched all day, but could not find any trace of him. Gertrude was beside herself with grief, and it seemed as if she would have nervous prostration. For weeks and even months she would not go out of the 192 house, but would sit and medkate on whether her -J- ghm. had anything to do with his death. In fact, it seemed as though she would become a nervou. When Toe got to the next town he took the first train for New York He staye l two days here and then took a steamer for New Orleans. He m t on e fe:sl;stz °:: ; Ja Him a o. eat Tal b l took it all pleasantly. Through k all. however, there was a sad exp ession on his face. When the boat reached New Oj f , J f ' g some fSr home, some for parts unknown. Joe took he tram La °rma He decided to go to work, and with that P-X th e h starlL H e T a ctmTm two or three thousand head of cattle. With these he stariea ni . r rtrude He heard from Frank and was told how his disappearance h J ; Tf ' Gertrude had wasted away until she was just a shadow of her former s lt Tt seemed as if she would never stop thinking of Joe s death.
