Have these years seemed to any of us an age? To many of us they have seemed short; to others long. To the men of our class who have been given to study these years have been but a fleeting moment, so to speak. During this time we have made a history. Is it a record of events that in after life we shall be ashamed of, or is it a Ust of deeds that we can look back on with pleasure? Have we made the most of our opportunities since we have been in college? If not, it is now too late, the sun is hiding behind the western horizon. A lost oppor- tunity can never be replaced again. There is no going over what has been done here. Our work and conduct in the class-room, in the literary societies, on the athletic field and campus and among our fellow-classmates and the students have either been for good or bad. If we have neglected our opportunities here we should mend the broken ways when we go out to battle with the world. During our stay in college many of us have not recognized the fact that these have been the golden years of our life— the spring- time of our existence. It is history that every man in a nation cannot have his name enrolled on the book of fame or recorded on the pages of history. In the study of the men who make up the class of nineteen-eleven we are sure that something could be said about each member and to his credit. Should I, as the historian, overlook the deeds of any that should be recorded in our history, I ask you Not to view me with a critic ' s eye But pass ray imperfections by. Chapter I THE ERESHMAN CLASS Soon after we had matriculated it was found that we numbered one hundred and eight. After a few days spent on the campus we decided that we would elect class officers. It was a great day for some of us, especially those that had been elected to office. At our first meeting we elected the following officers: President, C. E. DuPont; 16 Vice-President, M. L. Stuckey; Secretary and Treasurer, C. H. Carlisle. Every year a medal is offered to the best Freshman declaimer. The contest is held on the evening of Carlisle Day. At the contest this year Mr. DuPont, the class president, presided and introduced the following speakers: From the Calhoun Society, L. C. Brady, Jr., and H. I. Ellerbe; the Carlisle, H. Hucks and W. D. Hutto, Jr.; the Preston, W. V. Dibble and H. G. Hardin. Mr. Hucks was the winner of the medal. Chapter II THE SOPHOMORE CLASS After having spent our first summer vacation as a college student we returned in September, 1908, determined to do better work than we did in our Freshman year. Our class this year numbered but fifty-eight. It was gratifying to some of us to know that we would not be called Fresh again. This year our class officers were: President, W. P. Meadors. Jr.; Vice-President, H. G. Hardin; Secretary and Treasurer, H. M. Snyder. The Sophomore exhibition was the event of the year that we looked forward to with great interest. The societies elected the following speakers: Calhoun, W. Y. Dillard, Jr. and E. K. Epps; Carlisle, H. Hucks and C. W. Rankin; Preston, G. C. Bull. W. P. Meadors, Jr., was the presiding officer. Chapter III THE JUNIOR CLASS Just one-half of our college course has been spent. It has been said that the work of the third year in college is the hardest in the college course. We found it pleasant. We were beginning to study. The silver lining behind the cloud could be seen. Our class officers were: President, O. C. Bennett; Vice-President, H. Langford; Secretary and Treasurer, D. M. Turbeville. We sent Mr. H. G. Hardin to Greenwood to win the State Oratorical Contest medal, and he did, being the third brother and sixth Wofford representative to win the honor. The Junior debaters were: Calhoun, C. H. Carhsle and W. Y. Dillard, Jri; Carlisle, M. S. Lively and W. D. Hutto, Jr.; Preston, H. Langford and W. R. Wightman. The debate was presided over by O. C. Bennett, who made the farewell address to the Senior class in behalf of the three literary societies, after which he presented to each of them their society diplomas. This year we witnessed the opening of the Whitefoord Smith Library, a long felt want at Wofford. This is one of the handsomest and best equipped library buildings in the State. Near the beginning of the year God in his wisdom saw fit to remove from our midst our Grand Old Man, Dr. James H. Carlisle. During the previous years of our col- lege course he met us regularly and lectured to us in his own characteristic style on the 17 book he knew and loved so well, the Bible. Among his last words to the Wofford students, delivered from the college rostrum, were Wofford students are gentlemen. Are we measuring up to these words? We shall never look upon his like again. ' Twas an inspiration just to see him, to say nothing of having been in his lecture room. He is gone but his memory lives. The pall bearers from our class were: M. S. Lively and D. T. Ouzts. Ch. ' .pte? IV The Senior Class We are seniors. What does it mean? Soon we say good-bye to the college we have learned to love so well. Our officers this year are: President, T. E. Crane ; Vice-President, H. G. Hardin; Secretary and Treasurer, D. T. Ouzts; Poet, E. K. Epps; Prophet, T. H. Campbell; Historian, W. J. McGarity. H. Hucks is Editor-in-chief of the Journal with W. R. Wightmaii as Business Manager. The Editor-in-chief of the Bohemian is T. E. Crane and O. C. Bennett, Business Manager. H. G. Hardin is president of the student body, and C. E. DuPont president of the Y. M. C. A. The literary society presidents have been Calhoun, E. K. Epps, W. J. McGarity. W. Y. Dillard, Jr., and P. H. Thomp- son; Carlisle, O. C. Bennett, M. M. Brooks, H. Hucks, and J. C. Wrightson; Preston, H. G. Hardin, T. E. Crane, C. E. DuPont, and W. P. Meadors, Jr. Mr. Wrightson was one of the representatives in the Davidson-Wofford debate, and W. V. Dibble goes to Greenwood this year to represent us in the Oratorical Contest. Our commencement speakers are: H. G. Hardin, H. Hucks, H. Langford, M. S. Lively, W. J. McGarity and D. T. Ouzts. Conclusion We are standing at the close of our college course. Ere long we begin alone the work which lies before us. Success is brought by continued labor and continued watchful- ness. We must struggle on, not for one moment hesitate, nor take one backward step for in the language of the poet: The gates of hell are open night and day, Smooth the descent and easy is the way; But to return and view the cheerful skies, In this, the task and mighty labor lies. Our long and happy association is nearing an end. We have esteemed each other, loved each other, and must with each other part, and we feel that the separation soon to take place between most of us will be final and forever. W. Jay McGarity. i8 Class Poem The evening shadows lingering have gone, The golden sun sinks slowly in the blue, How glows the parting gleams ! How calm the breeze ! Then night lets fall a robe of deepest hue; This toilsome day we ' ve tottered with our tasks, And wearily we ' ve climbed this lofty peak, We ' ve sighed and watched the slowly moving sun, Till now this sunset brings the end we seek. This college day of four long years is o ' er. To watch its sunset we have waited long. How calm ! How peaceful is the end. How sweet Its lingering moments make our parting song. We ' ve fought so long the blast of this hard life, And though through strife we ' ve gained the long sought Classmates ' tis sad — -but we must say farewell. Ere we shall part to climb life ' s rugged knoll. Farewell to thee our old Ahna Mater, How long we ' ve labored in thy stately halls, ' Twas thou who took us by our youthful hands. And led us forth to face the world ' s great calls; Though still we love thee we must each be gone, To face the tasks of Hfe God doth assign. There toiling we shall ever think of thee, Ane ever proud to know that we are thine. To you kind masters we must say farewell, How faithful you have toiled to lead us on! Always with care and patience, you have led Us back to lofty paths from which we ' d gone. We ' ll miss you when we face the battling world, For there we ' ll find no hand to guide us through. And not till then we ' ll truly give you thanks. For friendly deeds you ' ve never failed to do. And now classmates a last farewell to you, Our ever toiling days are over here. But this old world is strong and hard to move. And we ' ll unite our strength again out there; So put aside your grief and deeper plant Some kind and noble thought of friends who ' re true, Then pause and think that we perhaps may part, No more to meet while earthly tasks we do. Remember classmates as you face this world, There ' s nothing grander than a noble life; So then strive not for fame, nor earthly wealth. But help to free men ' s souls from crushing strife; And soul to soul live with thy fellow-man, And hand in hand walk with thy Savior blest, Thus friend to God and man a voice we ' ll wait: Come unto me and I will give thee rest.

Aiken, hails from the metropolis of Woodruff, S. C, on the trunk line of the C. .W. C. Railroad. Alex is not really dangerous although the fact of his having so many ahases would seem to point that way. The only thing the matter with . lex is that he is addicted to writing short stories, and the sad part of it is that often they get into the Journal. Horace Brockman Anderson, Moore, S. C. His speech ivas a fine sample on llie whole, Of rhetoric which the learned call rigmarole. First Censor of Preston Literary Society; Historian of Class og- ' io; Member of Senior Baseball Team ' lo- ' ii. Horace claims to be a hard student, but if he is, it is studying how to spend the most time down street without missing any classes. On rainy days he stays in and says: There ' ll be no Converse girls out this day; so I ' ll stay in. His other spe- cialty is writing letters muchly filled with quota- tions from other poets as well as from Mr. H. B. Anderson. 20 James M. Barr Leesville, S. C. Jim entered our class in the Junior year and would have finished with us had not his eyes failed only a few months before graduation. Regretting very much that we have lost him and extending to him our sincerest sympathy, we hope that he may yet recover his eye-sight suffi- ciently to finish his course in Wofford College. Leonard Porter Anderson, Richburg, S. C. Like a flower that cannot all unfold. Member of Preston Literary Society. iMember of Y. M. C. A. Cabinet. This face certainly looked simple, surelj ' we have seen it before. O, yes, this is Anderson, the Porter Anderson. He was in a class ahead of us, but when he saw us he decided he wanted to be our Por- ter, hence he dropped aside and waited for us. He has made us a good one and we gladly recommend him for such services. Oliver Carlisle Bennett Greer, S. C.

Bennett, the silent. But that does not mean he is not thinking of Her. The Her ' ' changes constantly, but this does not keep him from taking it seriously. Ben is a very early riser, getting up at six o ' clock every morning— for what, no one knows, unless it be, to get the fire burning brightly for his roommate when he chooses to arise, generally about eight-thirty. Sam Orr Black Spartanburg, S. C. Bowed and bent as the mighty oak. And full of ivind as its branches. Corresponding Secretary, Monthly Orator, Second Censor, Recording Secretary of Calhoun Liter- ary Society. Speaker on preliminary Wofford- Emory Debate, ' 09.

Sammy is another one of the Spartanburg boys, and the most handsome of the the whole bunch. He never did try to hoodoo a professor, and never attempted to answer a question indiffer- ently, as if he knew all about the subject. A living joke is distasteful to him. It might be well to mention just here also that Sam is one of the future great physicians of his class. He expects to emi- grate to Jupiter and improve the sanitary condition of that planet. 22 Maxie McBryde Brooks . . . Belton, S. C. There goes the parson, oh illustrious spark. Entered 1906.

M. C. A. Cabinet, ' lo- ' ii. Member Inter-Society Committee, ' lo- ' ii. Parson, gentle reader, is not near so stub- born as he looks; he has a big heart, plenty of brains, and the greatest supply of jokes that any Methodist preacher ever dared carry. He has already accepted work as circuit rider in the South Carohna Confer- ence and it is said that he is beating the h-he-heathen out of that particular district. We thought he would because the parson is a good old d-d-e-dev-de- viser. Theodore Hodges Campbell, Mullins, S. C. Manhood, lohen verging into age, grows thoughtful. Entered 1904.

Camp doesn ' t belong to this class as you can readily see from his expression, just dropped in to take a course in the etymology of words and tech- nicahties of parliamentary rules. Camp is all right, but we have never been able to see his point of argu- ment. However, some people do and Camp will no doubt make a specialty of convincing people that the Latin gerundive is of more benefit to man than is the perfect tense. 23 Charlie Heber Carlisle, Spartanburg, S.

Fail not to view every detail of his wonderful face, look at the beautifully shaped nose, and the marvel- ously strong expression of the upper lip. But don ' t you dare let him know you are the least inter- ested in him; for he is such a modest chap! His voice actually blushed one time when he was called vipon in the class-room. He has been accused of being unnecessarily humble, but why not call that one of his charms? And then, too, he is such a smart bojM Thomas Jefferson Carter. .Union, S. C. Work is my recreation, The play of faculty. ' ' ' ' Member Preston to the Journal. Literary Society. Contributor Tom hails from somewhere down the line. Just how far down we do not know. Anywaj he came up the line one day and entered college never to be downed again, but instead to prove the greatest hustler of the class. Tom doesn ' t talk much but says that he has learned for a fact that the rooster crows for midnight every night in the college year. He cannot prove this by us but we do know that Tom has been seen leaving the newspaper office in the wee sma ' hours of the night. He will some day no doubt be editor of the News Before Day. 24 George Rainsford Fairbanks Cornish, Abbeville, S. C. 77 answer him by law, I ' ll not budge an inch.

Member Class Foot- ball Team, ' lo- ' ii. Contributor to Journal. George came originally from Chall ' son which perhaps accounts for his semi-Dutch brogue. The Bottry is one of his favorite resorts. Being a poet, George has a morbid imagination, and dearh ' loves to take medicine for imaginary ills. That is why he cuts classes. All the doctors are his personal friends. But if j ' ou want to see him ner- vous sure enough, just mention carbolic acid. Thomas Edwin Crane. . .Waxhaw, N. C. ' Look, he ' s winding up the ' watch of his wit, By and by it ' will strike.

Tom is a well rounded fellow, being very liberal in his attitude towards his studies, that is, not fond of any, unless it be Greek over which he spends long hours, and even visits the Greek teacher at night for extra recitations. Much learning has not made him mad; for he is always in a good humor — that ' s Tom. 25 Jaices Erric Cudd. . .Spartanburg, S. C. You behold in me only a travelling physician. Jim says he expects to study medicine and make a crack doctor. It is feared, though, that he will come nearer making a quack doctor. But still Jim is pretty fond of chemistry, often asking to be shown the chemistry of the situation. There is one thing in which he will succeed in the medical profession, and that is in being prompt to answer calls. If he is as prompt about this as he is about attending chapel he will be right there — now don ' t ask me where. James Wilborn Cunningham, Waxhaw, N. C. Tall is a great debater. He will even argue that a newspaper article is true if he has an idea that it is not. He likes to go to chapel once a month to see how things look, but says that it would not be good for his morals to attend oftener. His worst habit is associating with Alexander, but he has a hard time in this, and his regular question is Where ' s Alex? By gorry. 26 William Virgil Dibble. . . . Verdery, S. C. Character is higher than intellect. Speaker on Freshman Exhibition; Member of Glee Club, ' 08-09; Monthly Orator; Winner of Ora- torical Contest, ' 11; Second Critic of Preston Lit- erary- Society; President of Ministerial Band; Member Y. M. C. A. cabinet, ' io- ii. Dib is from Orangeburg or Charleston, or somewhere down there, anj-Tvay he was badly affect- ed by the Charleston Earthquake. He has alwaj-s been afraid of work but has never failed to do it. Dib has already signed up with the lethodist Chicken Eaters of South Carolina and now has a charge on which is a nice httle parsonage in which is a nice Httle room which Dib hopes to ornament with a nice little piece ol furniture. When he has been successful in getting this particular piece of furniture he will not Ukely accept any place but a city church. Robert Fleetavood Dar- ix, Gaflney, S. C. When I know a thing, I kno ' w it. Member Carlisle Literary Society. Doc is the kid of the class in size and age, but when it comes to a real knowledge of things the Gentleman from Gaffney is strictly there. Doc ' s most characteristic feature is his walk. Picture the pompous stride of Juhus Caesar, and you can see Doc coming up Church Street. Rest assured, though, Doc Darwin is about as shrewd as thej- ever get to be, and when j ' ou hand him the ragged end of a business transaction, you wiU be going some. 27 William Young Dillard, Jr, Spartanburg, S. C. He that -wants should not be bashful. President, Vice-president, First Critic, Third Critic of the Calhoun Literary Societj ' . Speaker on Sophomore Exhibition; Junior Debater. Class Basketball Team, ' 09- ' lo. The better one knows Biley the more he likes him. His one failing is his bashfulness. He blushes on any and all occasions — doesn ' t mean any harm by it. but cannot help it. It is said that he starts to blushing when he is yet three blocks away from Converse College, as he, with others, goes for a promenade. Also that he fears to talk with the girl of his choice only less than he hates for her to be out of his sight. Charles Edward DuPont, Spartanburg, S. C. Bald-headed and redder Than a windy morn.

He amuses himself pulhng the bo3 s ' ears and once or twice was about to pull Rembert ' s. Bill says he never has time to study; goes to Whittington ' s corner in the afternoon, Jit. ' show at night and holds office hours during Chapel exercises in the mornings. But Bill will get over these things for he is known to have preached two sermons of one hour each in one Sunday. 28 Eenest Key Epps, Kingstree, S. C. His heart as far from fraud As Heaven from Earth. Monthly Orator, Corresponding Secretary, Treas- urer; President Calhoun Literary Society; Class Basketball Team, ' 09- ' lo. Journal Staff, ' 09- ' 10, Art Editor the Bohemian, ' io- ' ii. Class Poet. Ham is the pianist of the class, playing faith- fully at Chapel exercises and Y. M. C. A. meetings. He, while a Freshman, took music at Converse, but becoming too bashful to face the music, gave up that course. Besides, knowing that he was a musi- cian, the Faculty organized as an encoring club for his special benefit which did not suit Ham in the least. Lucius Gaston Gage, Chester, S. C. All things come to him n ' ho waits. Loosh goes along in the same old way, never worries and takes all things easy. He gets there all the same you may be sure. In addition to his regular work and his Senior dignity Loosh has taken on two more great responsibilities, viz: the management of Gage ' s up-to-date Pressing Club and the supervision of his little brother George. Loosh has done justice to these tasks as well as to his other duties. 29 Henry Grady Hardin, RockHill, S. C. ]] ' licii he speaks, The air, a chartered liberluie, is still.

Let me introduce you to Kernel Henry Grady Hardin from Clover, Batesburg, Rock Hill, and elsewhere. He is the real Henry Grady of the Class, too — a born orator. Whenever his class- mates needed an eloquent speech made on any occa- sion, they invariably called on Kernel. He was the third Hardin to go to glory at the State Oratori- cal Contest, and even to accomplish such a feat as that he didn ' t find hard. The South Carolina Conference has waiting for him a circuit, to whose ro- mantic service he intends to report as soon as he can secure the proper credentials. By 1920, if he is not branded one of the big guns, his class will sue the Church for damages. Herbert Hucks, Stalvey, S. C. All is not gold that glitters. Monthly Orator, Second Censor, Corresponding Secretary ' , Recording Secretary, Third Critic, and President of Carlisle Literary Society; Winner Freshman Declamation Contest, ' 07-08; Speak- er on Sophomore Exhibition, ' o8- ' o9; Speaker on Oratorical Contest, ' 09-10; Speaker from Car- lisle Society in James H. Carlisle Memorial Ser- vice ' 09; Speaker on Oratorical Contest, ' lo- ' ii; Winner Carlisle Society Essay Medal, ' 09- ' 10; Member Inter-Society Committee, ' lo- ' ii; Ed- itor-in-Chief Wojford College Journal, ' lo- ' ii; Contributed twenty-five articles to the Journal; Senior Speaker. Hucks is from Horry County, just what part of the sticks we have so far been unable to find out. But since coming to college he has learned the names of some of the principal towns in his county. His specialty in school is writing stories, essays, just anything so long as the Journal Staff will take it. At home, he is a fisherman, having caught by him- self, to hear him tell it, six hundred and seventy- nine two-pounders in an hour and three quarters. 30 Arthur Lee Humphries, Camden, S.

Hump is the baseball artist, a star third sacker. He dreams of ball when his dreams are not of girls. He is rather fond of the other sex, but hates to let it be known that he is crazy aljout ' ' one for fear another in whom he is interested find it out. Just cautious — that ' s all. With all his failings he goes to church — where the verse goes, and was even known to go to Y. M. C. A. one night, whereupon the boys being surprised elected him their Editor on the Bohemian Staff for this 3 ' ear. George Franklin Hughston, Spartanburg, S. C. I profess not talking, only this, Let each man do his best. ' Look at that face good and long; for here you behold a wonder. Don ' t be surprised now when I tell you that he is one of the best students, and doesn ' t study because he ' s dull either; for really, he is almost the smartest we ' ve got. Yes sir, Hughs- ton is there with the goods when it comes to brain, and one of these days you are sure to hear from him. Look out for Hughston — he ' s coming ! 31 William David Hutto, Jr, Spartanburg, S. C.

No, he is not going to cry, he is just fixing to smile. Bill ' s smile does come off sometimes but it is always coming on again. Bill divides the Faculty into two classes: the unfavorable and the favorable class. Possibly his greatest achievement was winning Clink to the favorable class. A num- ber of the boys say that if they could get Bill present they would prove to him that the first bell rings at eight-thirty and that Chapel exercises besin at nine. Herbert Langford, Prosperity, S. C. Never wedding, ever wooing, Still a love-lorn heart pursuing. Vice-president Junior Class. First Critic, Monthly Orator, Junior Debater of Preston Literary So- ciety. .Chairman Inter-Society Committee; As- sistant Editor of Bohemian, ' io- ' ii. Contribu- tor to the Journal. Senior Speaker. Lank says he is from Prosperity and we do not doubt it, for he has been prosperous all through his college course, having developed in the sportmg line to the place that he shaves twice on Sundays, makes two or three party calls and goes to see an- other girl that night. Lank is the text-book-worm of the class. He usually digests the sentences, paragraphs, leaves and all and then in reciting begins with: It says and follows the text from the first word of the first line of the first page— sometimes stopping but more often going on.

It was never thought, however, that Lively would not graduate; for he is a sturdy fellow and always accomplishes that which he starts out to do. He is one of the men of the class, being far remo ' ed from the kiddish state in manners as well as in experience and other- wise. A wide experience (and surely it ' s only this) enables him. to express an opinion on almost any subject up for discussion. William Jay McGarity, Richburg, S. C. He ivas a scholar, and a ripe and good one. Entered in 1902. Dropped out after one year until 1908; then entered the Junior Class; dropped out again in 1909. Taught school during the years out of college. Has been a member of three classes during his college course. Contributor to Jour- nal, Monthly Orator and twice president of the Calhoun Literary Society; Presiding officer of Junior Debate, ' 09; Historian of Senior Class; Senior Speaker. As firm and as strong as Gibraltar, e en if he is so sporty looking. He is a genius for m.aking friends, just as he is an adept at keeping so neat and clean. In fact we don ' t believe a grain of dust wou ld dare light on him. Mc should have finished with the ' 10 Class., but he has too much pride for anything so unworth} ' ; besides, he is a good business man. His specialty in College was History and Dune Wallace, . nother thing, he walks to the post-office in the afternoon. 33 William Pascal Meadoes, Jr, Kingstree, S.

Jim until this year, when he tried to put on Senior dignity, could tell you when each train was due, how long it remained at the station, and all other particulars of the happenings at the Union Station. He is one of the few really smart boys of our class, and would be one of its leaders, if he would devote even a little time to his studies. He says he is going to farm., but from his talk one can tell that he is thinking more about dri -ing a fine horse with the right one riding beside him that he is the science of farming. 35 Vernon McTyeire Shell, Spartanburg, S.

Vernon started his college course while still a boy wearing short pants, but in the four years has become a full fledged Senior with the customary derb ' . As he does not have to put the average amount of time on his studies, he delights to get with a crowd of boys and te ll experiences and dis- cuss plans for future greatness. He says he is going to succeed as a farmer, but we doubt it; for that is said to require consistent work. Newton Rosser Smith, Cottageville, S. C.

His college career is so checkered that you could call him anything and not be far wrong. There isn ' t a phase of college life that he hasn ' t touched— from Y. M. C. A. to dancing school. He played tennis with the ladies on Main Street; was captain of the Naborhood baseball team one season; is one of the sports of Wofford College; and actually passed on all of his exams at Christmas of his Senior year, just to see how it would feel. Tub expects to be a tobacco manufacturer, and has already begun to smoke two fors in order to become more acquainted with the business. 38 William Allen Walker, Gaffney, S. C.

Southern Commercial University, Birmimham, Ala., June 29, 1937. Judge Herbert Hucks, Guthrie, Oklahoma My dear Friend: . , , , , I regret very much that you were not able to be present at our reumon held at dear old Wofford the seventh of this month. I received your letter upon my return home, explaining why you were prevented from attending. I trust the court has hnished the now famous case and that the decision was in favor of the Alexander. Wrightson Real Estate and Development Company. According to the reports of the daily press it seems that our old college chums have made quite a success in their new helds of endeavor. It is cood to know that this is so; however it is just like them. Your questions were referred to my department-political economy; the answers have been prepared and are being mailed under separate cover. According to the request of the class I am preparing a brief record of the success and good fortune of each member, and I am sending this as a reply to your letter. 1 was able to see every member of the class but one while on my trip. All were not at the reumon for matters of great importance prevented a few from being present I was accompanied to Carolina by Mrs. Campbell and the children. We left Bir- mingham on the morningof the third over theSouthern as the weather was too uncertam for flight While on the way I had the rare good pleasure of meetmg a few of the boys of former ' davs, and soon that happy, careless college feeling returned to us. Just before reaching Atlanta, 1 felt a firm hand grip my shoulder, and turnmg round vas gladly surprised to see the manly face of Porter Anderson. This trip was the longest he had taken on land for many years; but it was toward the scenes of his boyhood, and he was all aglee-not the grim sea captain any longer. He is Captain of a trans-Pacific liner plying between San Francisco and Manila. When we reached Atlanta, our party was joined by Hutto and Walker; and ot course our conversation quickly drifted to college days, our course of life since and the reunion on the old hill again. They stated that Lively had a few minutes be ore sailed for Spartanburg in his private ' plane, the Sardisian. Our friends, thC ' Eills, are commer- dal tourists whose abilities are attracting the attention of the leading mercantile houses 42 of the country. During the conversation, I learned that they had received many flatter- ing offers to become corporators in some of our great industries; but because of the large salaries in their present work they had refused all. They are general agents for the South with headc uarters in Atlanta, for the Linneux money counting machine. Lively has been unusually successful since leaving college. He entered the teaching profes- sion for a few years, but deciding that he could do other things better, turned his atten- tion to industrial and political interests in his native Georgia. He is now President of the First National Bank of Statesboro, and has represented his county in both houses of the State Legislature. As we were nearing Spartanburg, the first ghmpse of the city gave us the gray towers standing more majestic than ever in the last rays of the June sunset. And now we were on the campus once again ! Old scenes and new faces greeted us. The same old college building but a different name— Wofford University. The same campus in the main, but students and professors of the younger day. A few of our old professors are living on the campus. The others have entered the silent portals or sought for- eign fields of endeavor. But soon familiar faces were seen — 1911 was on the campus. Old handgrips were felt, old freindships revived, and we drank from the Pierian Spring once more. The city was astir with glad expectancy of the reunion and the Commencement then going on. The graduating class numbered one hundred and ninety; many states and a few foreign countries were represented by the class, friends, and alumni. It was especially fitting that the two principal speakers at the Commencement should be members of our class. Bishop Grady Hardin preached the Baccalaureate Sermon and Dr. Vernon Shell of Lander made the Literary Address. The efforts of each were elo- quent and scholarly. Several of the class still live in the City of Success, and these entertained their visiting classmates in a royal manner. We were met at the station by Perk Thomp- son whose hospitality we enjoyed while there. Thompson is at the head of the city government and is making the city a strong mayor. He Uves on his large plantation bordering the suburbs on the southeast of the city; his home is blessed with a noble wife and seven bright, happy children. Snyder is superintendent of the Spartan Trac- tion Company, and Dillard is the Company ' s chief engineer. Through the efforts of Mack and Bially the city is now provided with that novel and efi cient system of city transportation of which we have recently heard. It is interesting to watch the don ' t-stop-to-take-on-the-passenger car in motion. Really, there are three, each beside the other. The first car, or platform, two feet wide, with a continuous hand-strap, moves at the rate of three miles per hour; the second is hke the first but moves six miles and the third, or car proper, has a speed of nine miles per hour. The track is elevated having two car lines which run on the principle of a chain. Of course, when the people learn to to trip the track the speed can be increased. 43 The class has furnished only one editor-Thomas Carter, who is editor of_ the Sumter Dailv Tribune. It is said that his paper is one of the people ' s best champions I saw a po Itical advertisement of Turbeville ' s in this paper ; the headline was ' ' votes for men. ' ' Turby is running for county auditor of Clarendon on the men s trcket and is havmg a race more strenuous than the one he had for his wife. Cormsh is still under the shad- ows of his Alma Mater as assistant professor of history and -J ' l ' l ' f ' has just finished a history of South Carolina which is now in the hands of epubh hers Wannamaker is the best looking and wealthiest bachelor m Calhoun - y. It se m the ladies cannot capture Darsey for the wealthier he gets the shier he becomes. Tatum It was always tearing down and making combinations of one sort or another, has combined aU the short mail lines of the air from Charleston, to Washington and New York, into one large trunk line. It looks as if Otis is to be the Vanderbilt of No one thought while Holroyd was in college that he ever expected to be a lawyer and maybe he did not, but however that may be, such is the case. Though this is no a da for lawyers and doctors, Raymond is making a success in his chosen prof ession at Beiton One of the most distinguished men of the class, McGarity, was a the reunion and was called on for a speech. Jay is just fimshing his first term xn the United States Sena e He is unalterably opposed to Socialism and says it is to be one of the mam nu tTons of the near futu;e. Congressman Langford is of the same opinion. Herbert say that the divorce evil is destroying the moral fibre of a few o best a.esmem Langford and McGarity are making themselves felt m the counsels of the nation The speech of Darwin in which he gave the history and methods of his ' ' missing ink re Irches was interesting even to the romantic.

The following letter was received from Humphries. Kershaw, S. C, June 8th. I verv much regret that I cannot be in Spartanburg tomorrow. It was my purpose to go but have just received wireless from my exporters at Charleston that a shipment If ho;ieryhasbeenlost. I am sending this by my old friend Jake Mobley. Health and happiness to all. Humphries. Arthur is president of the Kershaw Fancy Hosiery Company. Mobley still possesses that cheerful, sunny disposition that makes friends -herever he goe It is to be regretted that the class did not have many men to go to the farm and there do as much toward developing and making country life attractive as has Mobley. I under- TnU thTrJ is no plantatLn in all Lancaster county which is better to look upon, or which 44 yields a larger income. One of the largest and most up-to-date clothiers for men in Johnston is Dave Ouzts. Dave would have nothing but the best while in college, and he has carried this out into his business life. So there is a reason for his success. The class has not furnished as many preachers as was supposed. A few who entered the ministry have been forced to withdraw because of ill health or otherwise. The pastor of the First Methodist Church, MuUins, is W. V. Dibble. William has won the hearts of his people and is doing noble, conscientious work. Maxcy Brooks is serving his first year as presiding elder of the Abbeville District. It is reported that he pre- sides over his conferences, not only with the modesty of a churchman, but also with the firmness of a judge; and that he has the interest and cooperation of preachers and lay- men alike. Professur Crane has never lost that deep seated interest and love for young college men. Tom is traveling secretary for the Y. M. C. A. of the Carolinas. His genius for friendship and exemplary character are accomplishing great good among the colleges of the two states. Greenville, because of her tremendous business advantages, has induced two men of our class to cast their lots with her. The real estate and brokerage firm of Bennett and Anderson, though not long established, is making a noteworthy record. Both Ben and Horace possess large holdings of farm lands in Spartanburg county to which thev fre- quently give their attention. One of the most intelligent and happy planters in the county is Hughston. We all remember what a bright, yet retired young man George was in college, but nothing appealed to him more than the quietness and pleasures of country life. It is men of his type that are making back to the farm real. Timmv Cudd, after spending several years in the employ of the government down at Panama, returned to Spartanburg and is now a large wood and coal dealer. Jim was doing well down on the canal, but decided that South Carolina was the place to spend his declin- ing years. On the afternoon of the tenth, after bidding farewell to a few remaining friends, we left Spartanburg for a short trip through the State for the double purpose of looking once more upon familiar scenes, and to visit and find out what the other classmates are doing. On reaching Columbia, as fortune would have it, one of the first men met was genial Sam Black. A rapid, rambling conversation foUowed in which most of the past and present were covered. 1 found out from Black that he was chief demonstrator in the State for the improved Thought Measuring Machine of Carlisle and Whitlock. Charlie and Shylock have made a great improvement on the old device, and will soon be rich as well as famous, in spite of themselves, but much to their satisfaction. Pos- sibly one of the greatest surprises of the class is Lucius Gage, now Governor Gage. That sounds well and ' tis true. Gage never seemed to realize his abihty nor the need of the world for real men until it had buffetted with him for a few years. Of course we soon let him know that an old college chum was in the city. This is his first term, but if his adm,inistration continues strong and able as at the present, it will not be his last. 45 From Columbia we again tu rned our faces southward and on reaching Denmark found Meadors— and much to our pleasure, as pleasant as ever. Bill possessed a modest, care-free disposition while in college, but just enough to make a good dentist. fter spending two delightful days with him., we journeyed over to Holly Hill to see Jim Russell Jim was out at his beautiful country home, a few miles north of the city training a thoroughbred for the track. His main business is farming, though he gives almost as much attention to his stock farm. When one is enjoying life as much as Rus- sell it can truly be said that he is happy. And certainly he should be, for presiding with him over that material wealth is one of earth ' s real queens. . u On our way to Kingstree we met up with Smith who was returmng from the North where he had been on a business trip combined with pleasure. Rosser is a successful merch ant and planter at CottageviUe, and still writes poetry, not amatory any longer, but pastoral. When we reached Kingstree our old friend Epps met us at the train. Imagine mv surprise when up came Cunningham, who used to say that Waxh aw was the Hub of the Universe. Ham has induced Tall to leave the Old North State to engage in business with him. They are large cotton brokers under the firm name of Eops and Cunningham, and each is also interested in other enterprises. Our stay there was short, but long to be remembered, because they spared no effort or expense to make our visit all that one could wish. . • u j Upon our arrival at Marion on the morning of the twentieth, we had almost finished our state tour. One of Marion ' s best and truest citizens is Charley DuPont._ Charley is cashier of the American Loan and Trust Company, the largest of its kind m the Pee Dee section I was told that this is due to the strict business integrity and foresight of its cashier. Dupont still has that friendly smile and has the confidence of the entire community. . . r .i, r And comrades, thus runs the record. Because of the uncertainties of the future, I have seen too far or not far enough with regard to particular ones; however I hope a fair average has been made, for I have been dealing with immeasurable possibilities. We are standing today at the unlocked door with our faces toward the sunrise. Rain- bows of promise bestride the future. Another and longer race is before us towardthe final and last Commencement. Each must thread life ' s course in his own way. Weak and discouraged at times we will be, yet let us live in the hope and Welcome each rebuff That turns earth ' s smoothness rough. Treacherous shades falling upon us will often deceive the weary traveler, but there will be no time for delay for the Bird of Time has but a little way to flutter and the Bird is on the Wing. _ C.-uipbelt.. i6 Officers Junior Class President ....

Moody. . . 47 Junior Class History It is customary for historians to discus events oi the more or less distant past and merely mention the occurrences of recent date. However, as our history began just about three years ago, we shall vary somewhat from the usual course dealmg only with history of recent date and even with that which is now in process of formation But whate;.er course we pursue in our brief history, we must begin with that greatest of all events-our arrival as Freshmen in nineteen hundred and eight. In that crowd of men and boys who marched up from the Southern Depot were eighty-two Freshmen. Among these were representatives of every section of our State,, and also several from North Carolina and Georgia. Our class was the largest m col- ' ;:rc:r: ir nme months, many serious problems pre d themselves to us, but the most serious ones were those m the dass-rooms Happly most of us succeeded in solving them, and consequently a large majority of our class returned in September nineteen hundred and nme Our coming this time was probably not such an important event as t had been he pre.Ls year but being Sophomores, naturally we thought it was. We considere a great privilege to be here to help take care of the scared Freshmen. We had not tor leX::: life, we immediately proceeded to busin ss Our class ' officers were elected. The next step was to elect a baseba and a foo manager and et our teams together. By constant practice we got out the champion a3 and football teams of the college. In basebaU, we won J y football also we showed our efficiency by not losing a game hroughout the serie Ve lot out a winning basket-ball team also but no scheduled games were played b our team Had the class of nineteea tandred and twelve, in some mysterious way.ceased to exist arihe Ld 0. its S.phomote year, it had already made f of. But as we were not doomed to such a fate, we met agam on - P September We were still a large class, bent on keepmg up. and if possible bettenn, Tglin :r:Lc:e:ifls ' oVcr and the leaders in our athletics. With Walter asCaptah..- ' °- e— Sophomores. As Captain of our football team. Pud Glenn got out another winning team, not a game being lost. Our class furnished also the champion tennis player of the college, who won high honors for Wofford at the tennis tournament held at Clinton last fall. However, we do not only hold a prominent part in athletics, but we also participate in those things which require more than mere muscle and endurance. In the debate be- tween Wofford and Davidson, a member of our class most ably represented our side of the subject. Three of our number were chosen for the preliminary oratorical contest, and each of them brought honor to himself and to his class, one of them being accorded second place. Besides these, other than athletic events, we entered into a debate with the Sophomores and also got out an issue of the Journal, the only class number of the year. Our debaters for the annual Junior debate, which is held each commencement, have already been chosen, and we are looking forward for the best debate held at Wofford for many years. But, besides the mere cataloguing of the events of our class, it is well to mention the unity of spirit which has been so characteristic of this class. It has been our pleasant experience as a class to know nothing of internal contention. There is never any oppo- sition to what the majority rules. This class spirit has been, no doubt, the secret of our success, not only in athletics but also in our other attempts. The chief events and characteristics of the present Junior class have been mentioned and judging the future by the past and present, there can be no doubt, that when the final roll is called i n nineteen hundred and twelve, a large majority of us will be there to receive our long sought for rewards.

Vice-President S ecretary-Treasurer Historian S3 Sophomore Class History t the first meeting of the class of 1913 during our Sophomore existence we started things ri.ht by electing he best men we had to lead our class over :ts new journe. W rtolnized that wehad reached a deciding point,, where we were erther to go forward a tray With this in mind we elected Stilwell, Pres., Spigner, V. Pres., and Hender- son Secretary. How well they performed their duty the advancement of our class ' we next turned our attention to the sporting kingdom. We elected Henderson captl and Kelly manager of our football team. In basket-ball Steele and Herlong 4re our leaders. ' Stilwell as captain, and Humphries as manager, played our team : 1 We finished with a record of three won, and one lost But as another team Ued lur record the deciding game for the championship had to be played. But the m-rush of the football season caused its postponement until the sprmg. _ I though we were stars on the athletic field we did not cease to shme when we entered intellectual contests. Our lessons were put down n. a way that made us ' tttlal contest in oratory had to be prepared for so we elected Jenkins, Hyer Moore, Hodges, Herlong, and Henry Sims for that occasion. There is consider- fbirinterest manifest;d in this contest although no victor is announced. As Wofford ha entered into a series of three debates with Davidson we thought it our duty to per- p e th college for capturing them. As we have already lost the f rst we, the members of the class of 191 challenged the Junior class to a joint debate, said debate to take place Needless to say the Juniors accepted and have elected their speakers. For our representatives we decided on Moore, Henry Sims and Hugo Sims. Jenkms was selected, but for certain reasons, he resigned and the gentleman last named above was ' our cla ss ' a hough the smallest in college, is well represented on every college organ- ization. In the Glee Club we boast several of the best men. On the gymnasmm team w are also well represented. But most of all we shine on the baseball team. La year we had five members and will probably have more this year._ The members of all of these teams do well and represent their class with marked distinction. Although the standard was raised last year to such an extent as to appear prohib- itive we scampered with glee over the Freshman course, and with such success that one 54 hundred freshmen came here this year to follow our lead. They followed us— that is until Christmas exams, at the conclusion of which they decided to try it again in March. But we are ever ready to help our successors to their ultimate goal if they only call on us. Hugo Sims. Prof. Habdin— Mr Genes, what kind of man was John the Baptist?

Marscher Historian 59 Freshman Class History The Class of ' 14 is noted both for its quahty and its quantity. Our quality has been shown in the Society Halls and on the Athletic Field, while our quantity is readily proven by the fact we are the largest class in the college. Moreover, we are not experiments We have already been tried, the advanced requirements of Wofford have not daunted us and we stand together a united class with one aim and that, to make our class the Banner Class of Wofford. , . 1 r It is true that when we marched up those stone steps on the first day of college we looked rather green and homesick, but by means of the devout efforts of the Sopho- mores it was not long before our greenness had worn off and our honiesickness had been for rotten. If we did not win the trophies in football and baseball, we_ certainly proved our superiority over the Sophomores in these nightly contests m running. _ However, on the whole, the upper classmen gave us a sincere welcome, helped us m netting used to college life, and introduced us to the other coUege men. A week after our arrival the Y. M. C. A. gave a reception to the new students. It was rather un- expected but the good time we had, the hearty welcome, and the general spirit of the occasion will not soon be forgotten, even though to some of us the final exercise was a paddUng bv the Sophomores. , • • - 1 . Though, as before said, we did not win the highest trmmphs m the mter-class .ames, still we showed that we were made of good material and it was only by the hard- est fighting that we were finally defeated. In football especially, our men showed heir pluck and deserve the highest honors, for even the other classes coidd not ref ram from oraising the good work and stubbornness shown by our men on the football field. Quickly enough December came and with it the long dreaded examinations And then the Christmas vacation followed and a troop of merry Freshmen returned home with far more joyous countenances than when they left. . ■ . Woii= We are especially proud of the work done by our own classmen m the Society Halis. Besides showing their speaking ability at other times, it was especially shown m the preliminary oratorical contest, about thirty Freshmen taking part m it. Tlio- chosen to speak in the Freshman Oratorical Contest were Sanders and Huff from the Calhoun ' Society, Manning and Herbert from the Preston, Birch and Whetse 1 from the Carfisle. And now ouf Freshman year has drawn to a close and we look orward to donmng the mantle of a Sophomore. May our history as a Sophomore Class be as bright as that of our Freshman year. Marscher. Lady (speaking to Fresh Gray on train Xmas)- Mr. Gray, are you going to Wofford now? Gr-AY— No ma ' m, I am going home. Prof. HARDiN- Mr. Cauthen, was that statement ever literally fulfilled?

Such are they, those eyes o ' thine. Eyes that now lay bare the soul- Hiding naught, revealing all- Gazing, I try to learn again Other truths those eyes explain; Till my soul, in tracing some new design Is lost in the depths of those eyes o ' thme. The Mystery of Solemn Thought No word can shape, no language form The mA-stery of a solemn thought: Swift on its arrowy flight ' tis borne Unlooked for and unsought. The abysmal gulf that lies between The soul and dim eternity Is leapt across in sudden flash That breaks its calm serenity. One moment doth the soul feel free, Unfettered by these earthly ties; One moment heaven ' s gorgeous way Is open to the dazzled eyes; Then all is bleak and dark and drear, nd grovelling still we move, nd seek, like beasts, the loathsome mire, While doubts the vision soon disprove. Qo yisn. 84 Her Dream The summons was borne as if on the wind to every quarter of the South Presi- dent Davis had called for 50,000 recruits. Thousands who previously had been consid- ered too young to carry arms and to endure the hardships of war were now required to march to the front, and many were the homes now to have snatched away their youths just blossommg into manhood. In the modest little village of Hamilton-were two homes over whose thresholds had never entered the cruel messenger of real sorrow. The inmates of these homes were plam, smiple folk, peace loving and law abiding people to whom the villagers looked for advice m all the simple problems which came up from day to dav. The first call arms had come as a cruel destroyer of the every day routine and quietude of thi peace- ful village, but not until this latest summons had the peace of either of these two homes been disturbed. There had been gathered around the village Inn a group of voung men, who were discussing the latest news from the front when their attention was diverted by the hasty approach of a messenger, bearing the news of the recent call for recruits. The acre limit had been lowered, and many mere boys were now almost wild with delight over the prospect of joining their brothers and friends in the army. The summons had come late Saturday afternoon, and John Avery had hurried home to tell his parents and prepare for his early departure. The elder Avery had been a soldier in the Mexican war, and his face kindled as he heard his manly young son speak of the heroic deeds of bravery that were being done bv Southern men in Yankee ' ' terri tory; it was evident, too, that he was proud that his son was to join those gallant ranks though a tremor in his voice betrayed the anxiety he felt for John ' s safety, as he warned the youth that he must needs be brave when cannon balls and grape shot aremowin- down his comrades. The evening of the same day when his veteran father and his mother, hmve and cheerful through her tears, had bidden him a tender good night, instead of seekin . his pillow for rest, John wandered out over the fields so peaceful in their dewy stillnes. And as he wandered on, an inexpressible dread of something, seemed to possess hi-, soul. The soft balminess of the night air led him on. Unconscious of the passing hours ' he strolled on and on, through familiar pastures and meadows, now green with the ver- dure of Spring. Far into the night he came to himself and returned and threw himself 85 somethiiK else— what would she say? ; :Av„y was not H.seH when .e entered sweetKear.s ho.e the a. e noon, and she saw at once that something was wrong.

The cry was not one of joyful expectancy, uul ful wail for a lost companion. l h=,vp waited Mav dearest he whispered, and more stars came out to listen. 1 have waited ah so tl gT now I .n t teh yon.

' .t p sence the .overs conM ta. no more in secret in the few moments he had to stay. 86 Early one morning three days later Mrs. Warner was awakened by a rap at her door May entered softly and silently turned the key in the lock. Mamma she said I have had a strange, weird dream. Three nights now I have had it, always the same. Last Sunday I refused John, but did not mean it. I only wanted to test him but Mary and some others cut us off at the gate and he left without saying any more about It. For three nights I have dreamed that he has gone to the war. This is true. I have learned that he left the next morning, and that is what troubles me about the rest of my dream. In my dream I saw him in the war, fighting where bullets fell thick and fast He fell, wounded, then rose again and rushed madly on far out beyond the foremost lines. With quivering lips he murmured: ' in hard fighting I may forget, or, perhaps a bullet may end it all. The war ended and years passed away. Success had placed upon his brow the laurel wreath of victory. Wealth, honor, and fame— all were his. ' Maybe all this will drive the old image from my mind ' was the hope and wish of his soul. Later on when he had found that old memory would not be driven away he de- termmed to marry another. I saw him standing before the alter beside a beautiful heiress. ' Surely, ' he thought, ' in trying to make her happy I may find some healing balm for my troubled soul. ' But, poor man, it did not. Far from it: he grew more miserable, because he realized that it was unmanly to marry a woman for such a reason Thus years passed by. Few were the moments when his fevered brain grew calm and a few years after his marriage, despair claimed him as its prey. He gave wholly up to his evil nature, saying to himself that he would try one more plan: the last and most desperate. He rushed madly from his office, down the street and into a brilliant saloon ■ Lifting high the sparkling glass, he called loudly and wildly to those around him ' Let us drink to the most beautiful woman under the sun, the inspiration of my life to her whom I lost and whose image I must, if possible, drive from my mind with this demon-drink. ' Those whom he addressed fell back in astonishment and horror when they saw before them John Avery. In this seeming maniac they could scarcely recog- mze him whom upon they had always looked as an ideal man. Rough men as they them- selves were, they tried to calm him instead of joining with him in drinking his pledge But their efforts were in vain. His reason was gone. Glass after glass was drained to the dregs until he fell in a drunken stupor and was taken home. This was only the beginning. Night after night found him in places of revelry and dens of vice. A thief, gambler, robber, drunkard, anything but himself. But the end had to come. One night in a drunken brawl, he slew a fellow gambler, and then be- came a fugitive from justice, a tramp wandering over the land. And, Mamma, I saw him m rags, plodding along dusty roads, either begging or stealing the food that kept him alive, and having for his bed the meadow grass, his roof, the starry sky. When an old man he, too, dreamed a dream. It was of me as when we were last together On awakening he resolved once more to see the idol of his boyhood days. Weary and worn, through rain and storm, he began his long journey home. . 87 •T . rl-Pon. I crew to old age. One beautiful Spring evening when the night perfect pe.ce.

It is cute and it is nifty, And it always takes the eye, Or he ' s dead who sleeps and m.isses Such a sight as it goes by. With enjoyment and not sorrow, Do we take a stroll each day; For we hope that each to-morrow Brings a hobble on our way.

But those were hoop skirts, and if ever They come back in style again. We ' ll hands off and let the great men (For we couldn ' t) take part again. Fashions die and styles are fleeting, And our hearts, though strong and stout. Still like muffled drums are beating. Fearing what will next come out. But judge the future hy the present!

' Sleep seemed to have forsaken me, and I walked through r rk Quite a bit enough to grow tired and rest on one of the rustic seats near he t . C:m ' st ry begins ' I was idly watching the fountain and slo moon musing on a thousand different things. I must have dozed, for I was recalled to a consciousness of my surroundings by a hand on my arm. I started. A thriUingly sweet voice whispered excitedly. Herr Blakeley, will vou help me I must have some one to deliver this packet for me tomght-now. I saw vou enter the park, but could not throw my followers off. .i, 1 ' She was exquisitely gowned, and the moonbeams filtering through the leaves revealed a ace though whiJe and fear-stricken, wonderfully beautiful large wide blue yestneath In alabaster brow, crowned with a profusion of light golden hair. I was L ' s cinated with her nearness and beauty. The innocence of her eyes made me answer . ' You may trust me, ' and added harshly, ' I will do anything for you She turnid away. ' I cannot-it is asking too much. You do not know what you are saying, ' came the stammering reply. 90 This was puzzling. ' Come, you are wasting time. I will feel hurt if you do not trust me. ' Drawing herself together resolutely and facing me, ' I will trust you. Take this packet; here is the street number. We may meet again. ' Pressing the packet into my hand, she was gone. The suddenness of the interview, with the appealing look in her eyes, made resist- ance impossible. But how did she come to know me? Who was she? Why had she selected me for her midnight messenger? Next, what the deuce could the packet con- tain? For it was unusually heavy for its size— about four inches long, two inches thick and weighed not less than nine or ten pounds. How was I interested in her affairs? I had never seen her before, and chances were that this first would be the last. It all did arouse a certain amount of curiosity. Once in my room, a look at the package ' s exterior was not enough to allay my grow- ing interest. The thing contained an egg-shaped cylinder, two or two and one-half inches long and an inch and one-half, or such a matter in diameter, very carefully packed. It was poHshed until it shone like a huge diamond. I was confident it contained some- thing—but what? I scratched its poHshed surface and examined the place with a power- ful glass. What seemed to be a joint appeared. Of course, I had to unscrew it if pos- sible. The cones parted without any extra effort. When they separated, I dropped contents and all, and both hands instinctively sought my eyes. I was aware, though blinded, that the room swam with an incandescent glow, second to nothing. Rushing into the next room, I tried to ease my aching eyes. How were the cones ever to be gotten together? Radium is not easily handled, especially when in such enormous quantities as the cones contained. Some minutes elapsed before attempting the feat. After seeming ages, I managed to replace the cones and start on my queer mission. The house was not a large building, standing well back from the street, surrounded by well kept grounds and tall oaks. The bell was answered by a man of rather small stature, bearded and dark skinned, whose steely gray eyes seemed trying to divine my innermost thoughts, as he said gra- ciously: Enter, Herr Blakeley . I expected you earlier. I am Professor Olendoref . ' I handed him the packet with a feeling of relief. ' Professor, I am pleased to meet you, though the circumstances are strange. ' He took the packet, but did not answer; instead, gave me a searching glance. Following him down the hall, I tried to collect myself, but the phrase ' I expected you earher ' still rang in my ears. What did he mean, and, too, how did he know me so well? Had the girl communicated with him? That was easy but had they stolen the radium? Next, what did they want with it? Where did I come in, and what did he want with me? I was not long to be kept in suspense. 91 ' -Pray be seated, Herr Blakeley, the hour is late and I will be brief. How I kno vou that you are the noted aviator, is irrelevant. I have a proposition to make_. which ryoutrle to, the pay is twenty thousand for one month. If you refuse nothing is to be 2uf tonight ' s happenings. ' Seemingly satisfied at my nod, he continued, with an ' - ' ' fll ttc.u.. of your daring courage and, too, you own an aeroplane. You are to fly me out of New York tonight to a place unknown to yourself, and remain lereTmontl at least; if longer, with the pay stated before. You are to ask no ques- tions. Do you agree? ' ' I do, ' was ray brief rejoinder. ,i -Good ' Can we leave in an hour? Wait, can your machine carry three? Three? What did he mean? Who was the third member of the party. ' I see Herr Blakeley is puzzled. ' He smiled. ' My daughter, you and myself will carry three with safety, ' I hastened to assent. His daughter proved to be the girl of the park. In an hour we were flying north from New York. _ ' Herr Blakeley, keep over the river, ' was Olendoref s direction. No other word was spoken until the Catsldlls loomed up m the early da. . When we have passed that first chain of cliffs, Herr Blake ey, circle to the left. Now lower. That is the place; the barn will house the machine, ' came m even tones was several hundred yards from the Hudson, sheltered on three sides by the i-Lvning cliffs, and I noticed could scarcely be seen from the river . _ Why had h come to this Ireary place of all places?

Here are books fhLe is a ' tennis court to the right of the house My -ghter you wi 1 no a d player. Let me warn you not to leave the place or be seen by any one. Olendoret ' ' ' ' : J :J r:iUi.ion planted itself m my mind, which, try as I might, slythfpr ofessor was a crank and harmless is absurd. His high forehead and piercing ' , steady eyes disproved this. Why had he given me such an e_ orice- He as I said a moment ago, could have come by water. No, he wanted feave New York at once. Who was he? It was evident he had committed some crime, or was going to. If so, what? Could it be that he was already wanted? 92 Everything went smoothly for a week. The professor was working or pretended to be in a laboratory in the basement. The night of July 5th he came into the library, where I was reading. ' Herr Blakeley, you are to fly me to Albany tonight. Can it be done? ' Yes. When shall we start? ' I asked. ' Now, ' Olendoref said, shortly. ' And I must be back by two o ' clock. ' The moon shone enough to keep flying from being difficult. We descended in a held on the outskirts of the city at Olendoref ' s command. I shadowed him successfully that night and learned facts of quite a startling na- ture. I found myself deahng with the cunningest set of brains it has ever been my for- tune, or misfortune, to encounter. We were back at 1:45 o ' clock. I housed the machine, and loosened a coupling that had grown hot. Instead of entering the house by the front way, I went to the rear as t he professor had gone to the laboratory. I was too late, only in time to see a figure skirt the tennis court and disappear in the shrubbery of the cliff. Making sure that Olendoref was alone, I went to bed with a determination to examine the laboratory. All efforts proved vain; it was three days before an opportunity presented itself. That night the professor did not work as usual, but read a while and retired earlv. I had it now. About eleven o ' clock I entered the laboratory with a skeleton key. On the left of the room was a powerfully constructed machine, driven by a completely inuffled gasoline engine Numerous electrical machines were scattered about the place. On the right a cabinet contained a number of uncut diamonds. The combination of the safe held my attention for an hour before opening. This contained uncut stones also, but no papers of any kind. An inner drawer contained the radium. A thorough search revealed nothing further except some few acids and small tools, wholly unknown to myself. An examination of the machines proved of no better advantage. They were all a pu2zle to me. I went to bed disappointed. During lunch, for the professor never breakfasted with his daughter and me, he seemed a little nervous and observed me searchingly several times. Beyond this, nothing happened for another week. I could arrive at no conclusion — his laboratory was as great a puzzle as if I had not seen it. He was making something or running a bluff, which I had no way of telling. True, I had found uncut stones, but what of that? He might be nianufacturin stones, but if so, where did the radium come in? The machines had certainly not been used for some days, for they were dusty and the oil had gummed. The snatches of conversation heard in Albany between Olendoref and his com- panion certainly had nothing to do with diamonds. For this man was a German dip- lomat. 93 I heard him tell Olendoref this: ' You are the only man who knows the secret. I will not force you to carry it through, but if you do not, your life may pay-. O fancy the rest ' Then followed something of international importance ' Olendoref had given me ten thousand before leaving New York Was this h. money or did it belong to Germany? I had a notion of makmg him tell me. But 1 hou ht better, for that would spoil the whole thing. Then, after all there was a glim- Lrof a chanc ' e that he was not a crook. But this last thought stuck o rae more I thought about it, the more confident I became he was a crook. I would have to ' It ended sooner than I expected, and quite differently. I had worked almost all afternoon (July 24th) on the monoplane. At dinner Olendoref said I was to take him to Albany at eleven that evening. lo S the ma- chine was ready. Olendoref came to the bam and said he would not go to Albany. ' Disappointed and tired, I went to bed. About dawn I became consciousof some one in the room. Just as I awoke the door slammed. ' Jumping out of bed, I found my papers scattered about the room. Olendoref, of course Then he knew I was a secret service man. . , . Putting on my shoes and trousers, I rushed do«n stairs and gamed the yard m time to see the machine circle once and start east-Olendoref dnvrng. A ' f o r the river, the engine missed fire. It had been fl„oded-he had 1°= ™ ' . wings crumpled and the machine turned turtle. A ghsteirmg object shot through Ore early sunlight and disappeared in the water. A moment ' f 01endo«f and the chine struck the river, Ungered an instant, then the water closed overh,mandh,ssecret, radium and all. Every one was silent for a while, then Sheftol asked: The girl— She, said Arthur, is to be Mrs. Blakeley. 94 The sunset glowed on western sea; The fishers were homeward bound; Darkness covered the distant lea And fell in shadows o ' er the sound. I wandered to the water ' s edge, And mingled with the throng, And took my place on a rocky ledge, And listened to the fishers ' song. Their voices mingled with the lusty gale. As they chanted thanks to God, Who gave the wind that blew the sail And filled their nets with cod. Hark! ye landsmen, ye ' ve much to learn From these simple men of the sea: By honest toil their bread they earn, And are sturdy, strong and free. Every day new danger brings. Which they meet with manly pride: They put their faith in the King of Kings As they boldly breast the tide. G. R. F.

She wore a mihtary cape of a dark blue material, and I noted how well her dark hair matched the vivid red lining. I was casually interested, for it was not a common sight, that of a girl on a wharf on a bleak November day. Imagine my surprise when I mounted the steps leading up to the pier to meet her standing at the top. Do you take passengers? she asked. I was about to say no, but there was somethmg so striking in her manner that I replied: Yes, ma ' am, sometimes. Well, I would like you to take me for a little trip around the fort. All right, ma ' am; but I have a Kttle business to attend to up the street, so we ' ll not be able to start before iive-thirty. At five-thirty sharp I was back on the wharf, but she hadn ' t come. Fifteen min- utes passed, and I had about come to the conclusion that the mysterious lady was failing me, when she appeared at the top of the steps with a maid and two suit cases. . I am awfully sorry if I have kept you waiting, but I couldn ' t get here any sooner. At half-past six we passed the fort and I was about to turn around and go back when I felt her hand at my arm. She anticipated my question. Take me somewhere, anywhere, away from the city, away from the world, she pleaded; and don ' t ask any questions. I know I appear unreasonable to you, a perfect stranger, but if you have any human sympathy, any pity, do what I say. _ Her face was deathly pale, and her thin, and for the moment, colorless lips were quivering. But her eyes !— beautiful violet orbs— pleaded more than words, for in their depths were all the pathos and suffering of a wounded fawn. I was amazed. What did she mean? Who was she? These thoughts and many more rushed through my brain. My whole soul seemed to respond to her pathetic entreaties. I knew of no place except my own where she would be free from harm. But what would Marion think of my bringing this total stranger home with me? Marion was my aunt, although only a few years older than I. She had taken care of me from my mfancy. But I couldn ' t resist the stranger ' s pleading. How girlish she seemed, stand- mg there searching the very depths of my soul with those tender eyes. I merely trusted to Marion ' s big warm heart and said: 97 All ri ht I think I know of a place where you will be safe. Her thinks were scarcely audible. She sank down exhausted on the cabin seat and resumed the silence wnich she had formerly observed. At ten we turned into the creek leading to Kiawah, the httle island surrounded by marsh and the sea, on which my bungalow was situated. Up to this time I thought continually of the mysterious lady, wondering who she really was and wh t ha her to this desperation. Now I as was nearing home, for the first time the full force of whaahrddonestruckmeallatonce. Was I treating Marion right? Marion to whom I owed more than to anyone else in the world? Yet I couldn ' t resist helping this beau- tiful stranger. I nerved myself to the highest pitch and determined to face it out. The anneal in her violet eyes was too strong for me. Soon we were at the wharf and on our way to the house. Marion met us at the door. Let me introduce Miss— Miss— Smith, the lady added. Miss Smith, to my aunt. Miss Fenweld. . Marion shook hands cordially but glanced inquiringly at me. It was just for a moment, but in that short space I reproached myself a thousand times for brmgmg thi airl home with me. ' Miss Smith was shown immediately to her room and did not come down again that evening. -r . i i,- ■ . Affer supper, while I was enjoying my cigar before the huge Dutch chimney m the study, Marion slipped in and sat on a low stool beside me. I looked at her rather guiltdy for I knew that, at first, she was displeased. She looked at me a long, long time, then said: Do you love her, Bobs? You foolish thing; you know I don ' t. That ' s all very wdl, but Marion thinks different. Anyhow she s a perfect dear and so soft and pretty. You ought to have heard her tell me about tnp- Jh child wouldn ' t say anything at first, but I put my arnr around her and If ' iy- Then I knew she was all right. She- said that she thought you were just an ordmary boatman, because of your oil-skins, or she never would have come with you. Sh . as very much surprised to learn that you are Mr. Roberts Fenweld, author of Carmen, etc ' Oh I do cut that out! What did you ten her that for? ' Well, I told her anyhow, and she seemed greatly impressed. I am sure we will get on all right, but isn ' t it strange, Bobs, the whole thing? She kissed me and stole off to bed. • i u „f wassincerely glad that Marion had taken to the lady. What Marion said abou mv being in love stuck by me-I couldn ' t get over it. I m love! Never! Maybe I hadn ' t met the right girl yet, but I had met so many that I thought were the right ones and who turned out to be ' the wrong ones that I was dubious of ever meeting my affinrty and felt mvself ordained to be a bachelor. Why should I want to marry anyhow? Wasn ' t I happy m my own home on my own beautiful island, v.ith an income sufficient for my meagre wants? Of course I was happy. I hadn ' t always been happy. Every time I thmk of those first long years of struggle when my Carmen was turned down and I was practically starving it makes me shudder. Ah ! I appreciate this wealth that has come. But the girl— what about her? How long would she stay, and why in the first place, did she wish to come? Then I thought of the tender hold which this frail girl had wound about me. It was in the wee small hours when I finally retired. The next morning when I returned from my visit to the duck-ponds, I found her sitting m my study absorbed in Browning ' s Pippa Passes. She did not hear me when I entered. Good morning. You ' re up early. Oh, do excuse me; I did not mean to trespass, but I noticed this beautiful copv of Pippa Passes ' and I couldn ' t resist the temptation to glance over it. It is so true to Italian life. Here she stopped abruptly and colored, then contmued, You see Brown- ing is my favorite poet. Do not consider yourself trespassing; we shall get on famously, I ' m sure. I am too, a great admirer of Browning, and we shall strike up a friendship on that score, if on nothing else. And so our conversation continued. As the days rolled by this girl was always with me. She became a part of my life We spent many pleasant hours on the beach and in the study. I found her almost in- dispensable as a critic, for she had such a splendid insight into human nature. I was puzzled, and the more I puzzled, the more tangled I got about her past. I knew this much. I loved her and proposed to tell her so shortly. Every now and then a spell would come over her, and she would grow listless and dull. Then I knew she was thinking of her past, and it maddened me to think that I knew so little of her. I was certain that whatever trouble she was in now was not her fault. One night Marion, the lady, as I called her, and myself were sitting in the study before the fire. Suddenly the light went out and Marion left for some reason— intuition I suppose, I have never found out. I looked at the lady; she was gazing intently into the red coals. The room was filled with a subdued mellow light, which made her look bewitching. Her violet eyes, with their jet-black fringes, seemed the picture of all that IS lovable. I felt a thrill speed through me, and almost impulsively I sprang from my chair and stood before her in a second. Without hesitation I took hold of her hand and said: I don ' t know who you are, and don ' t care, but I do know that I love you and want you to love me. She gazed at me a second and drew her hand away, then sobbed. Oh, don ' t; I can ' t, I can ' t; no, I can ' t. And with that flew out of the room. I was hurt, deeply hurt. What did she mean by No, I can ' t; I can ' t. I could not help feeling that she loved me, for I seemed to read it in her every action. I felt that it was some horrible thing of her past life that kept her from returning my love. I felt as if I were trying to move a mountain— the thing was always present with her and tor- 99 mented her day and night, and now it began to torment me, too. I resolved nght then that I would get to the root of the matter and fight it out. She had never revealed her identity and had made me promise not to ask her any questions. I hadn ' t, but i de- termined to find out something, but just how I didn ' t know. The next morning she did not come down for breakfast, and Marion said she wasn t feeUng well This troubled me greatly, for I hated to be away from her even for a day I went over to the neighboring island on business, and was just returning into the mouth of the creek when I noticed a launch slowly creeping up ahead of me, as if feeling her way I was soon alongside and hailed her, but could get no response from the man at the wheel, who seemed absorbed in steering. I didn ' t recognize the boat. I waited at the wharf for her to come up, for I knew she was going to land there, as mme was the only wharf on the creek. Presently she came up, and a dark-haired man of a powerful build came up the ladder, followed by two men of the sailor type. Mr. Fenweld, I believe; my name is Florio. Pleased to meet you, Mr. Florio. Won ' t you come up to the house. Thank you, sir. . , . j On the way he told me that he had been on Bailey ' s Island huntmg, and had stopped in to see if I could let him have some gasoline. I told him I would be pleased to, and sent one of the men back to fill his tank. _ -r. j i We went into the study, and I offered him a cigar. Our conversation drifted along hunting lines, when suddenly he stopped short and handed me a legal paper. It was a warrant for the arrest of Vivienne Florio, wife of Count Florio. I asked him what on earth did I have to do with that. He laughed and said : . , • , Oh just give her up. She has been over here long enough, and with a wicked gleam added, And don ' t try to make any trouble either; look behind you. I turned to face two guns pointing at me. Florio stood in front of me m a leisurely, half-amused manner, and drawled out: You search the house; I ' ll take care of Mr. Fenweld. He had me covered. I was trapped, but I blurted out: You cur! You won ' t find her here; she left this morning. I was bluffing, of ' ' Oh, that won ' t go with me signor, I know she is here; I have known it for a week. Ouite a clever trick of Vivienne ' s. Just at this moment Vivienne came into the room. She was as pale as a ghost, but said in a firm tone: _ . „ It ' s no use, Roberts, Dominic has caught me. Leave him alone; 1 11 go with you The Count wheeled around, and as he did I caught him under the jaw with my left fist. Then everything turned red. The first thing I remembered when I awoke was Marion ' s anxious face peering over me Yes, I was in my own room, with the large window looking out to sea. I was al bandaged up, and at first I couldn ' t account for it, then all at once I remembered. It seemed a ternble nightmare-the count, Vivienne ' s drawn face. Oh, it was horrible. But how was Vivienne? Did he get her? I asked Marion a thousand questions, but she wouldn t answer any of them. She plead with me with tears in her eyes not to ask her, for the doctor said that if I was excited it might bring on a relapse. I promised her that It she told me how Vivienne was I would not trouble her any more. Day by day I grew stronger. I thought continually of Vivienne and made Marion promise over and over that she was really safe. One night I was restless and lay with my eyes half closed. I suddenly became conscious that some one was bending over me It was Vmenne. I reached out, but she vanished. Was it a dream? In my dream I would see her, now mocking and now calling me. The iiext morning I told Marion all about it, and demanded to see her or I would get up and hunt for her. She promised that I should see Vivienne the next day Then she told me all about the affair, which was substantially this h, . .r r, w ' • ' d I struck him, and the pistol discharged in his breast, but the bullet went through and lodged in my neck, for it was at very close range He was dead and Vivienne was free. She was the daughter of an American banker of inter- national repute. He was anxious for her to make a foreign marriage and had almost forced her to marry the handsome Count Florio. He turned out to be a brute and she planned to leave him. In the meantime her father died and left all of his money to her She wouldn t let him have any, and managed to escape to New York on a launch in which were some of her American friends. From New York she came to Mobile There Q ' I ' ' t ' he wanted her money T v! FuTu ' ° f ' g thelaunchshe thought thatshe might induce me to take her home with me and let her stay with my family for she took me to be a hght-house keeper. The warrant was a fake one and I would have no trouble in proving that he came to his death by his own hands. The two men with him were overpowered by some of the negroes on the place and sent to Mobile I hat night I purposely lay with my eyes barely closed. About ten I heard Marion go out and some one came in. It was Vivienne. She was looking down into the fire and the red glow added a mystic charm that words cannot describe. Vivienne! I cried. She started. Vivienne, don ' t go; please don ' t go again. I ' ve seen you often and you always leave me. Don ' t let this be another dream. She came and knelt beside me. I placed my free arm around her neck and drew those tender hps to mine. . This was no dream. G. R. F.

I02 The Transformation of the Criminal Ordinarily men are filled with horror and disgust at the mere suggestion of the prison or criminal. With Emile Gautier, they feel that the prison is a hot-house for poison- ous plants. But such an attitude only indicates their failure to see the true aim, the real purpose of a prison, at least from the modern standpoint. The prison has been here- tofore, a place of confinement in which men ha •e been kept waiting their final disposi- tion. But to a growing number of right thinking people, its real purpose is not so much a place of detention as of correction. And in using that word we do not mean the sub- jugation of men through trying discipline, but the transformation of them by implanting noble ideals. Realizing, then, that this is the chief intention of this institution and look ing into the present system, we readily discern evils which are placing in the way of the possible transformation of the malefactor obstacles scarcely surmountable. In the first place, the buildings ha -e usually been entirely inadequate to meet the demands. The deficiency has often necessitated crowded cells, which affords opportu- nity for prisoners to receive from each other such ideas as will lead them to even more crime when released. Sad to say, nevertheless it is true, often a young child, sentenced for some insignificant cause, is placed in the same apartment with hardened criminals, only to receive from them impressions that practically ruin him for life. Moreover, ' not only is there this indiscriminate crowding; but the very gloominess of the narrow cells produces a depressing effect upon the prisoner; the bare waUs do not arouse his spirits nor awaken his interests; his filthy quarters, closed in by iron bars, lead him to look upon himself, not as a human being, but rather as a mere beast. Again, solitary confinement, as practiced in some places, necessarily works with a most degenerating effect. Closely adhered to, this system offers in itself a punish- ment of the severest nature, being tested sufficiently to prove that cellular confinement, when very prolonged, leads to insanity. Think of the criminal, surrounded by four dis- mal walls, with nothing to cheer or to inspire him, no one with whom he can converse, repeating over and over again in mind his atrocious act! Can we wonder then, that insanity follows a continual meditation upon some heinous crime? But further, a most watchful eye is ever kept upon the prisoner. Who acts as his guard? Frequently men unfit for the position, who look not upon the culprit with hu- maneness, but regard him as nothing more than a brute, a subject for the rod. Often the morals of these guards themselves are most debasing, thus altogether preventing 103 them from doing anything- to uplift the offender. And what is still worse the modern Egyptian taskmaster will not allow the criminal one moment m which he may exer- t ' chTonditions surely ought not to exist. Therefore it behooves us to inquire how the present system may be changed. It is certainly a self-evident fact that under con- ditions as they are, the true ideal for the betterment of the prisoner wdl never be attained The existing criminal code may be a help to society in as far as it relieves society of the so-called outcasts; but the unfortunate ones themselves are placed m a more or less hopeless condition. . . It should be considered, first, that many opportunities, protective in character, may have been withheld from the criminal before he became a criminal; but bare necessities of life may have been unattainable; and for the mere relief of his environments he conn Hiitted the crime. Who can understand the true motives m an offender s heart? In Tuch surroundings he thought his way wise; but the axiom to err is human ' remains true of him as of every man, and surely it is possible for the fallen one to be so dealtwi h hy some practical process that will arouse in him righteous feelings and enable him to see life in a new hght. We should regard him as an Heir of the same inheritance, Child of the selfsame God Who hath but stumbled in the path We have in weakness trod. The maxim as the parent, so the child has often been repeated; but we have paid Uttle attention to it. The inheritance of the characteristics of the parents by the child is one of the first laws of nature, and these influences do not always tend to uphft and en- lighten The sins of the father are playing havoc with many a hfe to-day, causing shame and disgrace that might have been prevented. Surely those suffering under such SsaTvantages-disadvantages due to no act of theirs, should have the protecting arm of society about them, assisting them, if possible, to a sounder life. It should be noted that the great world about usis watching with keen and expectant interest the problem as America solves it, ready to pursue the systems and plans pro- rulgated by our great nation. At the International Prison Congress, the time-honored natfons of the old world, Russia, Germany, England, Spain and France, looked to this young Republic of the West to disclose her plans for the transformation of men con- demned by law to confinement. Much has been accomplished by the meeting of differ- enrnationahties to discuss this question. The character of the discussions and the work actually accomphshed by such gatherings as the International Prison Congress mdicate that this is a vital matter with which society is deeply concerned , , . Whatever the causes underlying this practical interest, one of the most potent is, that men have awakened to the fact that it scarcely matters into what abject circum- stances a human being has fallen, there is still within him some element of good, which 104 by tactful and patient means can be fostered. When men begin to see in fallen humanity traits worthy of development, we may well realize that a radical change in the handhng of them will soon follow. Having taken into consideration some of the evils of the existing prison system and realizing why a radical change is necessary, we may now turn our attention to some sug- gestions, practical or theoretical, that may be serviceable in bringing about the desired end. Among the first suggestions is a change in structure. Our prisons should be so con- structed as to afford plenty of room and not necessitate crowded cells. They should not be so attractive as to allure one to commit a crime that he may be sent there, but they should be equipped with comfort and decency for the inmates. Not only that, there should also be apartments where trades may be taught and at Ieas elementary ed- ucational advantages given. In teaching trades in a prison the offenders are prepared for some kind of work which will enable them, on their release, to begin Hfe anew. Many of our criminals are ignorant, but with some training could be shown a new world, and thus be Hberated with a fair degree of education. These elements will aid wonderfully in transforming the criminal. Another remedy may be found in the plan practiced by the Warden of the Colorado State Penitentiary. In giving the convict a chance, the honor system is used. Three convict camps have been estabhshed and those stationed there wear no chains nor stripes to cause shame, nor even have a guard to keep close watch. There is an overseer who merely superintends. The only gun in the camp is in the hand of a convict himself who guards at night, not to keep the convicts in, but to keep out marauders. For the faith- ful discharge of duties and obedience to laws part of their sentence is revoked. Since the organization of these camps not one complaint of a crime or misdemeanor has been reported as committed by an ' honor ' convict. The reports show that placing respon- sibility upon the prisoners tends to develop their manhood; and that confidence in them is having a wonderful moral effect, working in such a way as to return to society men better equipped to mingle with the pubhc. Should one of the honor convicts rebel or attempt escape, other means of punishment are used; but the character of the man is well tested before he is allowed this privilege; hence very few are ever recalled to the prison. ' Tis true that in different sections of the country the race problem would have to be considered; but surely it is possible to build up the much needed honor system of reform. The time has come when close surveillance must decrease and the conscience of the priosner must play its part in his transformation. One of the most needed reforms is to strip from our courts the power of fixing a defi- nite term for any prisoner. It is impossible for those vested with authority to know the pecuHarities, dispositions and environments of the number brought to them for trial. Hence not infrequently an unjust and undeserved sentence is pronounced. Many states have already adopted the plan of the indeterminate sentence and find it most helpful in dealing with criminals. This Act prevents the courts from definitely fixing the term of sentence, leaving the question of his release to be determined by the manager of the reformatory with reference to his progress, improvement and skill. With this method must always be associated conditional hberation, that is, liberation by ticket-of-leave or on parole, liable to revocation in case of misbehavior. Why should a criminal be sent to prison for a definite period any more than a lunatic to a hopsital for the insane or an invalid to an infirmary? Our prisons, if rightly conducted, ought to be moral hospitals ' ' to which delinquents should be sent to be cured. Many a man imprisoned for life, to his own misery, the ruin of his family and the cost to the state, might with absolute safety to society be liberated today. Thus we have seen how the prisoner has long been treated wrongfully by allowing evil conditions to exist that are entirely incompatible with the ideals set for prisons,and shown causes why these conditions should be remedied. Our purpose, however, has been to formulate plans for the alleviation of these conditions. There should, therefore, be adequate quarters suitably fitted with a view to training the inmates for a larger life. Then, too, confidence should be manifest in the prisoner by instituting, as far as practi- cable, the honor system for the sakeof the stimulating effect upon his conscience. Again, the fixed sentence with its various injustices should be aboHshed and the indeterminate sentence be used. Whatever results these changes may bring about, there is yet one other which may probably be considered greater than all; for upon it these reforms largely depend. I mean a complete change in the attitude to society toward the crim- inal. When men can look upon the culprit with a sympathetic eye and see in him the image of his Maker, then such changes will be brought about that will enable us no longer to see the hardened criminal, but a man transformed, made anew.

But I, who have waited long the veil beside, Have never seen beyond the darkning shell; There is no hand to lead, no light to guide, There is no one to teach, no tongue to tell. When thou and I, O soul, have parted here. Wilt thou then wander o ' er some barren plain? And I, this body, left so full of fear Can I not ever feel thy throb again ' Can I not ever feel the life within That beats and pulses surging through the whole. And making whole were sep ' rate parts have been Fulfilling ev ' ry office, thou, the soul? But then a joyous consolation here That offers now some rest, some slight reprieve. And bolsters up the sinking spirit drear, And makes the doubting heart of me beheve That after all the Knower and the Known Shall not remain upon this earth with me, But casting off this flimsy nerve and bone Shall pass into its broad eternity. N. RossEK Smith. 107 A Reverie I Far back in my youthful years When but a httle child, I dreamed that I was quietly saihng Away on an ocean wild. The sky was murky, dark and stormy, The full-orbed moon concealed her face: No friendly stars came o ' their hiding To light this dreary waste. Ere long through these gloomy shadows, A glorious, shining light Illumed the ocean around us: A ship now came into sight. I stood with my soul enraptured And looked upon that gallant bark, As she threw far out her searchUghts, Searching seas so stormy dark. What flag do you carry, Captain? I called to the seaman bold. He pointed towards it proudly waving: Our flag, the Black and Gold! You ask to what port we are sailing And what our haven will be; Fear not, we shall anchor safely After this restless sea. II The dream was o ' er, years passed away, But my soul was not in tune The hours of midnight were not darker Than its dread and fearful gloom. Not all the many hopes of heaven, Nor life ' s charms with all their soothing power Could bring to me one peaceful moment. Nor calm my soul one single hour. io8 O troubled soul be calm I O fainting heart, oh stay! Take to thyself this healing balm, ' Twill guide thee far on life ' s rough way. Again, but not while dreaming. Had come a voice that bade me turn My course towards this flowing fountain. This Spring, this Source where all may learn. To face life ' s conflicts with a courage That will not falter nor complain. Nor turn back from the smoke of battle, Having fought, but fought in vain. Then he told to me the secret. In a tone of fervent glow. That not far off from the mountains Where eternal breezes blow. Is a college through whose portals Those who thirst for knowledge pass. And drinking there, all gain a power Which shall be felt while time shall last. Ill Today though the clouds are stormy. And dark billows aroiind me roll; No fears for my safety possess me, No lurking dread of waters cold. For I embarked on that vessel And can catch a glimpse o ' the shore; I know that she will anchor safely Where rich treasures are in store. And how I ' ve loved you, Wofford, Is more than words can e ' er express; Had I not known of your e.xistence. Life had had one blessing less. Long may you live, old Woftord, And shed your beckoning light To the uttermost regions of earth Where men are struggling in the night. Swift may the influence of your power Be spread from man to man, Until the ideals that you teach Shall reign supreme o ' er every land. log Journal Staff Herbert Hucks, Editor-in-chief W. R.

Just read the following and I think that you will agree with me in say- ing this has been the most successful year of our Association since its foundation or organization. There has never been a term in which the Y. M. C. A. has served its purpose of instilling into the young men of the Campus that high standard of a pure Christian life than in the present one. What we are especially proud of is the fact that such a large number of men have thrown their whole soul and body into this work and are pushing it to the front as it has never been before. There are at present about seventy per cent of the students in College members of the Association. Does not this illustrate and mean progress? Considering the large number of town men in College this year who are members of the city Y. M. C. A. our percentage would be still larger. Doubtless many would say that a large member- ship does not answer for all the requirements of an Association nor do we as can be shown by the results of our work. Look at our Volunteer Band, one of the most influential bands in the College, which owes its source and administration to the Y. M. C. A. Again, note our Mission Study Band. Although a course in Bible was added as a regu- lar study to the curriculum this year this band has succeeded in organizing four Mission Study Classes. It is needless to tell of the real knowledge mental, spiritual, and mechanical that is obtained from these meetings. Next our Bible Study Committee is worthy of all praise we are capable of giving. Besides their regular duties this com- mittee has occupied itself profitably in establishing a new method of study among the students. This was much in the spirit of the Morning Watch to read the Bible before beginning the day ' s work, and their efforts were not spent in vain. As a result we have a large number of men who have agreed to read their Bible daily besides the other requirements. Nor can we omit the Devotional Committee. Never before have we had more interesting and educational meetings than we have had every Friday even- ing under its auspices. We have had exceptional speakers for each meeting this year in- cluding various Secretaries, Ministers, Professors and our own fellow-workers. These men have brought all sides of the Christian life to us with good advice and information which was worthy of being heard by all. The Music Committee which should be men- tioned in connection with our weekly meetings has furnished us with good selections and above all has kept ' ginger ' and ' pep ' throughout. There are four or five other commit- tees which deserve mention here, but owing to lack of space it will be left to the reader 173 to judge of the work as an apposite to the above mentioned. These committees are, The°Personal Work, Mission Work, Membership, Hand-book, and the Finance. Aside from the above which touches each and every one purely from a moral and personal standpoint we can relate some other important work of our Association. Feel- ing more and more our strength and duty we decided to support a Missionary and soon a campaign was on and the amount was subscribed. So one can see that our Association is not concerned with ego alone, but does its work with an open mind and as a result sends its influence and aid to the foreign fields. This is another new step undertaken by us this year and it is heartily welcomed. We have a warm feeling and a high respect of duties towards others, yet there is also present that inherent quaUty of nature not to forsake yourself; and with this abstract consciousness of neglect knocking at our door and demanding a hearing, we opened to it and at the same time took heed. As a result two teams were selected and pitted against each other to make a campaign of the campus to collect funds with which to remodel and refurnish our hall. In a short time nearly four hundred dollars ($400) was subscribed and to-day we have a hall which will compare favorably with any other College hall in the South. Besides the room for regular meetings which is papered, painted, lighted and furnished according to the superb tastes of the directors there is also a reading room in which all the valuable magazines and papers will be free to the use of all students. Nor does the work stop there, because another room which may be called the amusement or athletic room will be furnished with many needables by which young men can profit both mentally, socially and physically. The above is a good basis to begin a new year with, but we have added strongly to this foundation by selecting a strong set of officers to administer and perform the various duties of our Young Men ' s Christian Association for another year. Especially are we fortunate in having such men as Glenn and Stilwell, who are not only strong men mor- ally and intellectually, but are also prominent in athletics, each of them holding a posi- tion on Varsity, to lead us to victory another year. We gladly welcome the combination of athletics and religious work in these two men, a union always needed yet sad to say not always found. As due respect to them and probably information for others a list of the officers and the newly selected cabinet is given as follows: J. L. Glenn, Jr., presi- dent; L. J. Stilwell, vice-president; E. T. Spigner, Treasurer; M. B. Patrick, secretary; R. L. Cox, R. D. Guilds, A. W. Ayers, G. H. Hodges, W. O. Henderson, C. H. Witt, R. B. Mclver, G. M. Crum. Either of these men will be glad to assist you, especially new men, in your troubles or pleasures, just make a noise. Although we have had the disadvantage of holding our meetings in a classroom yet all who have attended have enjoyed and benefited by them. We hope for the in- coming year and officers even better success, in proportion to their advantages, than we have had the past year. Do you not agree with me now that we have a live, wideawake and open minded Young Men ' s Christian Association? 174 Valedictory Our work is done. It is our best Though surely naught to gain applause. Our humble efforts, let them rest, And do not hunt our numerous flaws. We hope you ' re pleased with this, our work And that we have offended none; For though we may have seemed the Turk, Let us assure you ' twas in fun. 175 COLLEGE ANNUALS We have made a specialty of printing College Annuals for more than fifteen years.
