And then could sing the melodies of cheer, Then I would sing of happy future years, And hide the sorrows of our parting tears. For though we shall awake another day. When we are then surrounded by life ' s fray, Far from this College we may then be gone. With our affections ' round her gently drawn. Then we shall our reflections calmly cast Upon the dreams which are forever past, And wonder how some boy his honors won, And why, perhaps, our task was left undone. The rising tide of fate may drift us far, And every tossing wave may leave its scar As each man labors through the -oming strife. Then bending neath the cares of mortal life. But in this life we have a work to do. If we will only to our Class be true: So then, may not one of us turn his back Upon the Gold which floats beside the Black. In this wide world there are both weak and strong. So may we shield the right and right the wrong. And gently calm life ' s raging tempest vile, As did the noble Doctor James Carlisle. Patient! Patient! O Thou who rulest Time, Men lean always upon thy love sublime. Bear then with us who enter life today And lead us high into the perfect way. May each man make this feeble, mortal fight In honor of his country, God, and right. And may the final breath each comrade draws Be followed by Heaven ' s welcome applause. — J. D. Stuart, Class Poet Nineteen Edward Hydrick Blackmon, A. B. ORANGEBURG, S. C. Rather first in an Albian village, than second in Rome ' ' We have our old friend Broadus, better known as DuTCH, noted for football ability, massive eating, and a time specialist. He can always be found at Converse, where all the ditties fall his way. His redeeming feature is dancing, and nothing exceeds his feet in daintiness. When anything happens among the fairer sex, and Dutch is not present, it is because of missing a ride. By way of emphasis, we might say that Dutch ' s mastery lies among the modern lan- guages. Ernest Cleveland Bomar, A.B., A.M. SPARTANBURG, S. C. Horv shall I fashion me to wear a cloak? What was that noise in the laboratory? It was only one of Mary ' s several explosions, in his attempt to broaden the chemical field. We also see that he is fond of anything that has wheels on it, especially automobiles (when out of fix). Mary is one of the best students in the Class, and he easily worked an A. M. in his course. He has a weakness for the fairer sex, and although he says he has not narrowed down to one we fear this to be a mistake.

Benny Badger Broadway, A. B. SUMMERTON, S. C. What a piece of la ork is mart! Yes, this is Ben, the musician of the Class of ' 15. We captured him in the swamps of Claren- don, in the Fall of 1911; and by hard strugghng transplanted him in the City of Success. ' Ben has been with us four years, and during that time he has been a shining light in our intellectual and social circles. Ben is easily distinguished in any crowd by the sporty angle at which he wears his skypiece. Ben says there is no place like Spar- tanburg, and he is partial to the scenery of West Henry Street. William James Brown, A. B. LEO, s. c. ' ' Ah, let me close my epes and dream sTveet, fanci- ful, fragrant dreams of love. Little Willie is really one of the most in- teresting characters on the campus. He is the authority for the campus on Lander, being a fre- quent visitor, and a happy recipient of tri-weekly epistles from there. WilLIE ' s greatest ambition has always been to make catcher on the baseball team. They say he was a star in his own home town. We don ' t know what WiLLIE will do, but we predict a success for him, for he is all wool, true blue, and a yard wide. Member Carli ary Society. le Liter- Entered 1912- ' 13; Presi- dent Y. M. C. A.

Smooth runs the rvater rvhere the hrool is deep ' ' Bill is one of those who don ' t beheve in stick- ing to the beaten path when he sees a thing he wants lying beyond it. Last year, after due deliberation, he decided that he would like to affix A. M. to his name at the end of his Senior year. As this had never been done in four years at Wofford, the Faculty demurred. In the end, however, BiLL had the Faculty and the A.M. coming his way. The only menace to his future career is a case of heart disease that he contracted some time ago. First Critic Preston Lit- erary Society; Advertising Manager BOHEMIAN ' 14- •15. Harvey Leonard Clinkscales, A. B. GREENWOOD, S. C. Art is long, and time is fleeting Behold! The Bud Fisher of our Class. Clink has made our Journal and Annual famous by his drawings. His cartoons have also ap- peared in the Greenwood papers, and in the State ' s Aftermath. Clink stands well in his classes, and we predict for him a brilliant future. Recording Secretary, Second Censor, Second Critic, Third Critic two terms.

Allan Marshall Cox, A. B. DOTHAN, N. C. Did he love one face from out the thousands ? Mox came from the sticks of the Tarheel State, as he could not resist the alluring charms of our South Carolina girls. He is a man of wonderful dilatmg powers, giving the Anaconda a close run for first place. His motto is Never late until twelve; after twelve, it is early. Now we can understand why Mox always comes in early. For him, silence is golden, and his thoughts, like still water, run deep. Although he lacks some oratori- cal qualities, the creative power is there. If you want to find out how well he talks, ask Her. He possesses at least one superior quality that we all know — he is not two- faced.

Jesse Clark Cunningham, A. B. LINDSAY, CALIF. He was the mildest mannered man that ever scuttled ship or cut a throat Call Jack is a worthy representative of that long, lean, and lanky State at the western extremity of our country, noted for its population of Greasers and Chinks. To see him with his wide sombrero, holding his audiences upon the campus spellbound with his bloodcurdling tales of Western atrocities, one is reminded of the Ancient Mariner. But, although lean and lanky, Cali. JacK does not possess the other attribute that goes with these qualities, for he is not lazy; we ' ll have to hand it to him for work. He entered with back work, one year after his Class, and in three years made up the back work and covered the four-year course. We hope to send him back to his State, a product of which it will be proud. Member Preston Literary Society. Hubert Noland Dukes, A. B. SANDERSVILLE, GA. rom a li ink spark rnay burst a mightv flame Among the interesting curios of our Class is Midget. He preaches that Georgia is the Empire State of the South. We often wonder why Midget has such radical views of the common- wealth. It surely cannot be explained any other way than through the syrup pitcher. Aside from Georgia cane syrup, he delights in oratory. Midget claims to have a connection with a long line of English dukes, but evidently means Duke ' s Mixture. After all has been said, MiDGET stands well with his fellows and the Faculty. Look out for him. Vice-President Y. M. C.

Ernest Gary Edwards, A. B. MULLINS, S. C. Mary, thou hadst metamorpfwsed me. Made me neglect mp studies, lose mp time Considering the fact Gary hails from Mullins, he does very well. He spends his time across town, at Converse, and is known as the Saturday Evening Post. Gary is liked by all, both male and female, and never allows love to interfere with his studies. It may be truly said of him: Rain or shine, sleet or snow, up to Converse I must go.

Frank Dantzler Evans, A. B. ELLOREE, S. ' C. Man dreams of fame, love while rvoman rvakes to Frank has developed into one of our greatest ladies ' men. His coal-black hair, dark brown eyes, and general appearance have been the means of captivating many a girl ' s heart. Notwithstand- ing the fact that he is taking a very heavy course this year, he always finds time to write his daily letters to Jefferson. But not only is FranK popular with the girls, for by his pleasant smile and jovial good nature he has won a deep place in the hearts of all his classmates, and we predict for him a great future.

B. WILKINSVILLE, S. C. ' ' There ' s nothing ill can dwell in such a temple ' ' Here we actually meet a calm and peaceful Gale. The one member of our Class who appears to be perfectly contented with what life has placed before him, though his record at once shows that he is not a man in stature only. Wilkins- ville, S. C, is his home, a place as yet unknown to most of us, but we expect Gale to give it a promi- nent place on the map in the near future. Alexander Salley Herbert, A. B. ORANGEBURG, S. C. ' ' None but himself can be his parallel the Between the marvelous pompadour and cortex of this curiosity abides the most mysterious mind that has ever visited Wofford. Alex is quite a mechanic. In his spare time, if he is not reading a weekly or practicmg his vocal chords for the May Festival at Converse, he can always be found at one of the garages in the city, investigat- ing the internal structure of any and every motor that is so unfortunate as to be in the vicinity. He was once heard to say, If there are no automobiles in heaven, I don ' t want to go there.

Bill is one of the real students of the Class, as his full distinction list shows. The larger por- tion of his time is spent in devotion to his studies. Nevertheless, he has the commendable diversion of contributing to The Journal, and is usually well rewarded from that source at Commencement. He started his college career as a ruthless heart-crusher, but has since become far more considerate of the Spartanburg lassies. Concerning his plans for the future. Bill is altogether silent, but mark this well — a great career lies before him. Charlton Thompson Howard, A. B. SPARTANBURG, S. C. would that my tongue could utter the thoughts that arise in me ChotT, Shot, or any other name will do for him. He did not enter our Class until its Senior year, consequently he worked against us, much to our regret, in basket-ball, etc. Now, don ' t anyone ask this gymnastic youth why he wanted to name a Basket-ball squad at the Y. M. C. A., Helen, for he is sure to blush. Chott would get along all right if he would stop cuttmg classes under the plea of sickness.

George Thomas Hughes, A. B. COLUMBIA, s. c. e that is of merrp heart has a continuous feast To see Doc every Saturday afternoon, with his half-gallon gripsack, one would think he was a tobacco drummer, but not so, he is on his way to Liberty, to deliver his Sunday roof-raiser to his congregation. Doc spent last summer at Liberty, and lo! a marvelous transformation occurred. After returning, he burst the bonds of conservatism, and his hitherto reticent spirit gave vent to numer- ous lyrics and sonnets to a fair one. But Doc is one of those jolly, jovial fellows, with a smile on his face and a joke on his tongue, that wins many friends ; and we predict for him success. Joseph Carson Hutchison, A. B. NINETY-SIX, S. C. ' ' Behold; Math leadeth a man aright Some three years ago, JoDIE came to Wofford from the historical city of Ninety-Six. He has no bad habits, save those of studying, and he is try- ing to carry off all that he can of Wofford ' s knowledge. A good conscientious student, who is never satisfied unless he has plenty of Ones on his report. JoDIE pretends to be a stranger among the fair sex, but Dame Rumor says that he takes a good many trips over the Interurban. His friends are numbered by his acquaintances, and we predict for him a successful future. Treasurer Carlisle Lit- erary Society; College Marshal ' 3- ' 4- Class Football ' 12- ' 13, ' B- ' M; Y. M.

Though he hails from the tobacco center, he comes neither chewing nor smoking, but possessing the noble qualities of John C. Calhoun and Patrick Henry. As Calhoun loved the South, and Henry loved Liberty, he loves ' South Liberty (Street). In some miraculous way, he seems to charm the girls, but his kid brother keeps him constantly aware that competition is the life of trade. Hark, some wild trumpeter, some strange musician! O. G. , that ' s only his laugh. But alas, we admire his noble purposes, and wish for him a great future. 9 Third Censor, First Critic, Carlisle Literary Society; Y. M. C. A.

His apt, fair tongue delivers such apt and gracious words, that aged ears play truant at his tales Carl ' s great hobby is debating, and cultivat- ing a little whisker, which he discovered in his Senior year. He is undoubtedly one of the best business men in the Class, and we predict for him, a great and bright future.

But the cause that there is wit in other men Bob joined us in 1912, coming from the little town of Johnson, which he says is the best town in the State, and can ' t be convinced otherwise. Although Bob has been with us but three years, he has made a great success of fooling the Faculty. If he is as successful in after years as he has been in the past three, we predict a great and glorious future. His highest ambition is to become a great doctor, and we wish him success, but we do not want him to experiment on any of us.

Joseph Marion Lanham, A. B. SPARTANBURG, S. C. It rvill discourse most eloquent music Here at least is one member of the Class who has no scruples about proclaimmg his own worth. When anyone asks MaRION if he has any specialty, he modestly and in a rather bored manner replies that he is something of a lyric tenor, and that he has some little reputation in newspaper circles as a journalist. We are loath to appear to doubt these statements, because of the fact that MariON is very sensitive to criticism, but we would like to suggest that it is not always best to try to cover too much territory.

To look at him now, one would never think that Nancy was captured only after a long chase in the Slashes of Dillon County. Sphagetti, as he is sometimes called, with his frankness and big heart, fills the atmos- phere with fun where ' er he goes. Most of us think that Yancey finds his greatest pleasure in everyday campus life, but beneath all of this there is a spot on Converse Street which fills his heart with secret joy. He has not yet declared his life ' s occupation, but we feel no hesitancy in saying, whatever his choice may be, that some day he will make Dillon County proud.

By his modesty and ability, he at once attracted the attention of his classmates. At the beginning of the Sophomore year, he had, through the unceasing efforts of Professor Keaton, reached that size where he might wear long trousers. How- ever, if you want a scrap on hand, just say some- thing against Pickens, for Mac says that it is God ' s own country.

His heart has never melted at the concord of siveet feminine voices There are a few elements in this compound that are rather hard to analyse; therefore we will deal only with the chief ones. We think, sentimentally, he is disposed to harmony; but organically he is not capable of carrying a tune. However, this is not his fault, because he tries pers.stently to make a record equal to that of his brother. It is rumored that he will go abroad to get a Doctor ' s Degree in Modern Languages, and it may be true, as he has the courage to undertake impos- sibilities.

After four years of college life, great changes can easily be noticed in both his intellect and other charac- teristics. In fact. Mack ' s progress can be better explained by the saying: Once upon a time he resembled a poor little green twig, easily toppled by the wind; while at present he is likened unto a gigantic tree, well matured and developed. Mack can often be seen boarding an eastbound train, and we venture to assume that the reason of this is that little girl back home. Frank Wannamaker Rays or, A. B. ST. MATTHEWS, S.

The im- provements in Charlie have been marvelous since he joined us, especially if we take into considera- tion the fact that before the Fall of 1911 he was better acquainted with alhgators and other denizens of the Santee swamps than he was with the philosophy of learned professors. To see Charlie strolling nonchalantly down street now- adays one would think that he was reared in some large city, like New York or perhaps Greer.

Although he is somewhat bashful, he has refused absolutely to shy behind a lamppost when a pretty girl comes along.

Finishing at the Fitting School in 1911, Cliff came to us for further development into manhood. He has not only won honors and medals in his literary work, but he has also won fame on the athletic field. The opinion of those who know Cliff is that in the near future we shall hear of his being professor of Chemistry in one of the large western Universities. Here he is, girls. What about him? Well, it ' s like this; he says he is from the Gamecock City. We don ' t know, but from what we can gather he was found somewhere in the swamps of Sumter County by Dr. Clinkscales, and brought to Wof- ford in the Fall of 1911. Brooks is a quiet, easy-going kind of fellow, with a big heart, strong character, and a great fund of humor, and we see no reason why he should not make a success in whatever he undertakes for his life-work.

Putting these things together, we have come to the conclusion that he was discovered in an orange tree, tamed, and sent to college. Nevertheless, he is a real poet, and we feel sure that when the right stimulus strikes him he w!ll be moved to verse that will make the Class famous.

FoxIE ' s real name is WoLFE. Since civilization has taken much of the fierceness out of the WoLFE, it has been unanimously decided that FOXIE would be more appropriate. If FOXIE keeps pulling at his little lock of hair, we fear that he will be prema- turely bald. He is noted for his extensive study of sciences.

IN MEMORIAM W. D. WALL BORN SEPTEMBER 15, 1892 DIED JULY 22. 1914 ON A September morning of 1911, the bell in Wofford Chapel rang out once more the announcement which it had repeated annually for over a half-century. A new college year had begun. Almost a hundred new men had gathered this year to begin their careers as Wofford students. As they viewed their strange surroundings, most of the men appeared to sense the atmosphere peculiar to Wotford. The old trees and the weather-stained buildings seemed to be vague reminders of the traditions established by the scores of Classes that had gone before. As soon as they had become accustomed to their new surroundings and duties, the Freshman Class organized. They elected the following officers: Presidenl, J. M. Townsend; Vice-President, O. A. Darby; Secreiarlj, F. C. Ayer. The new Class soon entered the field of athletics, and the following team officers were elected: Baseball — Harley, Captain, and King, Manager; Football — Muldrow, Captain, and Thompson, Manager; and Basket-ball — Harley, Captain, and Townsend, Manager. It is a matter of record that Freshman teams do not ordinarily win championships. The men are too inexperienced, and too young. While these teams were no exception, they showed that they only needed time for development. Ih the Freshman year of the Class of 1915, the question of the honor system arose. This ques- tion had been deferred by all preceding Classes until the second year in College. The new Class, how- ever, realized that the system could be as beneficial to Freshmen as to Seniors, and set a new record by adopting it in their first year at Wofford. In their Freshman year, the Class also set a new record of challenging the Sophomores to a debate. For reasons of their own, the Sophomores refused, and the self-esteem of the Class rose sev- eral points in consequence. With the Spring came the oratorical event of greatest interest to our Class — the Freshman Exhibition. Each of the three Societies elected two representatives. They were: Calhoun Society, Rice and Smith; Preston Society, Stuckey and Kearse; Carlisle Society, Syfan and Thrower. At the end of the speaking, a medal is annually awarded to the most eloquent declaimer. R. J. Syfan won the medal upon this occasion. Everyone declared it to be the best exhibition of oratory they had heard in years, and of course the Class had no difficulty in believing them. Forty-Five While engaged in organizing and in becoming accustomed to our new surroundings, our Fresh- man year rapidly slipped by. The following autumn we re-assembled as Sophomores. Though we were only the same Freshmen, with a little, a very little, of the green rubbed off, a feeling of infinite superiority stole over us when we viewed the new Freshmen. We cherished a kindly feeling toward the new men, but nevertheless we did not forget the great difference between our stations. A Class meeting was held soon after assembling, and the following officers were elected: Presi- dent, R. J. Syfan; Vice-President. G. W. Wannamaker, Jr.; Secretary and Treasurer, H. L. Clink- scales. At this time the Class instituted the office of Monitor. G. W. Gage was elected to fill that posi- tion. The following were elected in the athletic field: Baseball — Frey, Captain; Kearse, Manager; Football — Syfan, Captain; Stuckey, Manager; and Basket-ball — Hamilton, Captain, and Townsend, Manager. The teams were much stronger than those of our Freshman year. They made the follow- ing record: In baseball, we won two out of four games; in football, we won one victory, and had three close defeats; in basket-ball, we won three out of four games. The all-important oratorical event for us this year was the Sophomore Exhibition. Heretofore the speakers had been elected by the Class, but now a change was introduced. The speakers were elected by the three Societies. They were: Calhoun, R. C. Rice and H. M. Smith; Preston, H. Manning and W. B. Stuckey; Carlisle, H. N. Dukes and C. E. King. The oratory was declared by some to be superior even to that exhibited on the occasion of the year before. The next year we were Juniors. Our number had dwmdled somewhat, and perhaps we looked just a little older, but in other respects we were the same. We had merely mounted one round higher up the ladder. Our officers were chosen as follows: President. E. F. Lucas; Vice-President. W. B. Stuckey; Treasurer. J. M. Townsend; Secretary. J. J. Riley. Later, when the athletic season drew near, we elected the following: Baseball — Frey, Manager; King, Captain; Football — Syfan, Manager; Melvin, Captain; and Basket-ball, Townsend, Manager, and Evans, Captain. And having accomplished these results the election work of the year ceased. And in this year, as in the years preceding, the Class participated in oratorical events. A mem- ber of the Junior Class, R. J. Syfan, was chosen to represent Wofford in a contest between all the Col- leges of the State, at Rock Hill. Our classmate followed the example set by numerous predecessors, by winning the State Championship for Wofford, and a medal for himself. And thus, in the course of time, and it seemed a very long time, we became Seniors. We had passed through all the processes from the raw material to the finished product. The year has not yet passed altogether, and the product is not altogether finished, but we feel that much has already been accomplished. At the beginning of the term, the following officers were elected: President, J. J. Riley; Vice- President, R. C. Stuckey; Secretary, W. W. Holman; Treasurer, W. J. Brown; Prophet. R. E. Kenney; Poet. J. D. Stuart; Historian. E. C. Bomar. The history of the Class would not be complete without a word as to the part the Class has played in the various College activities. Last year, the students desired intercollegiate football. As the rising Senior Class, we pledged ourselves to stand behind and take the responsibility. And people tell us that we have kept our pledge. We have the following men on the Varsity team: R. C. Stuckey, Melvin, Frey, and R. R. Moseley. On other college teams we have: Baseball, Frey; Basket-ball, J. M. Townsend, Manager. Howard, and Steadman ; Track, Riley, Captain. Wannamaker, Manager. This year the students of the College felt the need of a weekly publication. The Senior Class took this movement in hand, and the result was the founding of The Old Cold and Black, a paper issued every week to every student, containing in pithy, concise language an account of all College activities at Wofford. The staff, elected from the entire student-body, is as follows: C. E. King, Editor-in-Chief ; E. F. Lucas, Business Manager; H. N. Dukes, Circulation Manager; W. G. Ram- seur, Assistant Editor-in-Chief ; W. Melvin, Athletic Editor; H. Manning, Local Editor; and J. C. Pruitt, Athletic Editor. , — E. C. BoMAR, Historian I Forty-Six ' HEREVER you are, and whoever you may be, there is one thing in which you and I are alike af this moment and all the moments of our existence. We are not at rest; our life is not a mere fact; it is a movement, a tendency, a steady, ceaseless progress to an unseen goal. We are gaining or losing something every day. Even when our position and character seem to remain the same, they are changing, for the mere advance of time is change. Twenty years have passed since the members of the Class of 1915 met for the last time in the chapel of Wofford College. They too have changed. Some have become lawyers, some doctors, some senators and congressmen, and in fact some are in all the various vocations of life. I decided to take a four, dreamed of twenty years ago, when we were Seniors at College. I first visited Washington, and found myself in the halls of the Senate during its session. A great question of State was under discussion by the two senators from South Carolina and one from Georgia. Upon closer observation, I found them to be Houston Manning and J. Carl Kearse, of South Carolina, and Hubert N. Dukes, of Georgia. At the close of the debate, I drew near to speak to them. In the course of our conversation, they informed me that C. E. King and W. B. Stuckey represented the old Palmetto State in the House of Representatives. These men had become the great political thinkers of the com- monwealth, on the Calhoun and Webster type, and not the mere politicians of today. They aspired to higher and nobler things than social gain and wealth. From there I went to the Congressional Library, and found A. S. Herbert, the bookworm of our Class. Alex was never found without a book, and always made his spare moments useful. He told me that F. W. Raysor was at the head of a large knife manufacturing establishment. Zoo, with all his keenness, was cutting a big shine in society. Leaving here, I went to the station. A short, chubby, red-faced fellow, with slightly-red hair, came throup;h the station calling out the number and destination of the trains. He was no other than J. Yancey LeGette. I reached New York in due time, and while strolling up the streets in the most fashionable part of the city I noticed above a broad plate glass window this sign, Bomar Christman, Dealers in Men ' s Furnishings. The assets of this firm far exceeded the liabilities, because the proprietors them- selves were the models. The foundation of this great establishment was laid in College, when these boys represented several clothing establishments. I dropped into one of the offices of Life, and found H. L. Clinkscales as Art Editor. Clink had become famous with his new cartoons, which had made Mutt and Jeff back numbers. The fol- lowing morning I visited Wall Street, only to find a great commotion. Upon inquiry, I found that Ed. Lucas and Bill Melvin were about to aorner the grain market. Forty-Seven On my way to the station, I noticed a young man just ahead of me, apparently much worried. 1 recognized him, and spoke to him. Guy Jordan told me his troubles, which were as follows: He had persuaded some poor Jane to marry him, and found later that she was a vixen. He was now truly repenting for smashing so many young hearts in his younger days. He informed me that J. J. Riley was Professor of History and Economics in Columbia University. John was the student of the campus when it came to reciting History and Economics. I boarded the train, and in due time arrived at Chicago. 1 decided to spend the evening at the Conservatory of Music. Upon inquiry of the manager, 1 found that the artist of the evening was Monsieur Broadway. Badger ' was widely known in the musical world. While at College he was often found in chapel playing old-time melodies and the la ' e Rags. The curtain went down. I glanced around, and saw a brc ad-shouldered man, with a beautiful lady by his side. There was some- thing familiar about that light hair and the manner in which he played with his whiskers. C. Y. Wigfall was married, and was doing well as a dentist. His work was his only advertisement, and was bringing great results. The following evening 1 went to the Ball Park, to see the World ' s Series played off between Boston and Philadelphia. I found Jake Frey tossing the pill to win The International Rag ' for his team. Jake informed me that J. J. McFall had invented a model folding cradle for babies, with a safety device to keep them from falling out. Mack, with his genius, had developed the world of science thus far. From Chicago, I proceeded to Los Angeles. The first place of interest to me was the Uni- versity, so I decided to visit it. I learned that G. M. Perry and R. C. Stuckey were at the head of the Science Department. These boys had made a wonderful record in the chemistry laboratory. In the same department was J. S. Wolfe, Professor of Physics. Foxey loved Physics so well that he took Physics 1 two years while at Wofford. He told me that Paul Whitaker was gym instructor in one of the colleges of the same city. From here I went to the athletic fields, to see the annual tournament. W. W. Holman was winner of the Marathon race. He was no longer Bill, the student, but instead Bill, the athlete. The following day I visited the football park to see a game. Our old star, E. H. Blackman, was still on his job, and was now counted a ringer among ringers. From Los Angeles, 1 took ship, via Panama Canal, for Eng ' land and other countries of the old world. During the voyage, 1 visited the office of the captain of the ship, and found H. G. Haynes studying his chronometer and nautical almanac to locate his ship Tarkio. He told me that A. M. Cox was wireless operator on his ship, and was doing well in the world of electricity. I arrived safely at Liverpool, and had my baggage transfered to a hotel. A small placard at the door informed me that J. B. Whitman was going to deliver an address that night. John had become an important factor in educational purposes in that city. He informed me that F. D. Evans and E. G. Edwards occupied a couple of high-priced seats in the Cotton Exchange. From Liverpool, I proceeded to London. A friend invited me to see one of Shakespeare ' s tragedies, Olhello, played. Who should be Othello other than J. E. Merchant? Chunk, with his massive head of hair, was well fitted lo play the part. I visited the British Museum, and found J. D. Stuart a collector and inspector. Little Jeb was an artist with his various specimens. My next move was lo Italy, to an Italian province called Monaco, where the famous Monte Carlo is situated. I visited this place, and to my utter amazement found G. T. Hughes presiding over the roulette wheel, and W. J. Brown a large stockholder. This place not being of much interest to me, I decided to visit the Alps. Who should 1 find there other than R. R. Mosely, who was there for his health. Goat was made a battering ram during Forty-Eight his football career, consequently was forced to call time out and recuperate. He had now become a retired capitalist. Practice makes perfect, and by this time the airship was so perfected that it was used as a mode of travel from one country to another. 1 decided to return in this manner, and sought out the headquarters of the Airship Company. Preparations were made for the travelers, and everything was ready for sailing. The engineer came forth, and was no other than J. C. Hutchison. Jodie, being of a light nature, ha3 gone into this business. During our trip he told me that H. G. Waters was singing in the Grand Opera Theater as a soloist, and was well known on account of his voice. We arrived safely at New York. As I passed through the Customs House 1 found J. C. Cun- ningham chief inspector, and he was asking questions as natural as ever. The newsboys everywhere were shouting Great Divorce Suit! Get an extra, and read about it. I bought one, and found that Mrs. G. G. Marlowe was sueing for a divorce. Glen had gotten himself in very serious trouble. Further glancing through the paper I noticed that J. Marion Lanham was editor. Marion had become a marked factor in the newspaper line. Having three J ours to spend before train time, I went out to the University to see a game of basket-ball. The star playing of two men took my eye, and upon closer observation I found them to be Chott Howard and W. W. Steadman. These boys were champions during their college days. On my way to the station, 1 found G. W. Wannamaker, Jr. George told me that he was delivering a course of lectures in the various colleges over the North in behalf of the Y. M. C. A. Judging by his career, he had become a great orator, and was doing worlds of good in his line. He told me that C. A. Monroe and J. M. Townsend were partners in a large manufacturing establish- ment, and had the world ' s record for putting out ready-to-wear pants in one day. I boarded the train, and in due time reached South Carolina. My first stop was Spartanburg. As I stepped from the train, I saw J. A. Wolfe perched on a load of cotton with his son, going to market. I stopped him, and in the course of our conversation I found that C. W. Sprott was still visiting the annual house party at the Fitting School. Charlie seemed to think that this was his last year. I bade him farewell, and took my departure for home. I am still heeding the calls of my patients, and as Dr. Holmes humorously says All fevers thankfully received.

Reid.. - ........Treasurer Fifty-One Junior Class Histori) ON THE nineteenth of September, 1912, our Class entered Woflord. Very much like all other entermg Classes, it was a group of youths — green, timid, and always on the lookout for those horrible Sophomores — beings who, as we imagined them, never did exist. And it was then that we discovered how much really lay between us and our final goal — an education. Above all others, there were three things that we had to confront: that longing for friends and loved ones at home; the Sophomores; and the Faculty. The first of these we overcame in a short while ; the others we shunned as much as possible. Again, on the seventeenth of September, 1913, we entered College, this time as Sophomores. Changed? Well I should say so! Nobody would have thought then that any member of our Class had ever been a Freshman. Yes, we were Sophomores in every sense of the word, and I am sorry to say we felt as all Sophomores do; every- thing was within our power; there was nothing that we should worry over then. But this year slipped by, and we began to reahze that after all it had been much ado about nothing. Last September, fully determined to do more and better work than ever, we entered College for the third time. Many of our old friends were missing, and there were a few who came to us from other colleges. The latter we welcome gladly to our Class, and the former, wherever they may be, we wish the greatest success of life. Up to this time, we have elected the following class officers: Freshman Year — C. B. Huff, President; C. A. Carter, Vice-President; W. G. Ramseur, 5ec- retary; M. T. Williams, Treasurer. SoPHOMORE Year — G. C. Adams, President; W. G. Ramseur, Vice-President; W. W. Daniel, Secretary; C. A. Carter, Treasurer. Junior Year — W. G. Ramseur, President; J. C. Covington, Vice-President; J. W. , Harris, Secretary: W. C. Reid, Treasurer. ' . ■ . From the very beginning of our history on this campus, our Class has taken a leading part in athletics, and now, we are proud to say, it stands second to none in this department. Eight of our members played in the opening Varsity football game this year, and one of them — R. L. Osborne — was captain of the team. He has been re-elected for next year. Our Class may also boast of its orators. It has some who have already gained distinction for themselves and for their Societies, and who may even yet w n honors for themselves and their College. In our Freshman and Sophomore Declamation contests, all of the speakers did unusually well. G. W. Palmer won the Freshman medal, and W. G. Ramseur won the Sophomore medal. Two of the Intercollegiate Debaters for this year, viz. : W. G. Ramseur and J. P. Earle, have been selected from our Class. The year is drawing near to a close now, and it is only a short while till we shall be Seniors. We realize how great will be the responsibility upon us then, and we trust that we may, in every way, live up to the standard established by all preceding Classes. And on that day in June, when our Alma Mater grants us those long-sought- for diplomas, and we are ready to go out into the world, may we be able to look back over our college life without a single regret. — J.

On this day, we attended Wofford Chapel for the first time, and realized what a great task lay before us, when Clink arose on the rostrum and said, Freshmen will take for tomorrow the first 165 pages in Math. We feel sure that during the two years that we have been m school we have m.ade a good start toward success, and we believe that at the end of our fourth year we will l ook back with pride on our College course. Of the fact that we have made mistakes, and in many cases have been negligent, we are well aware; but yet we believe in fighting to the end, despite the errors of the past. We started upon our college course 1 1 7 strong. The officers for our Fresh- man year were: President, T. H. Glenn; ice-President, J. T. Huggins; Secrelar])- Treasurer, F. F. Roberts; Historian, J. F. Herbert. Naturally, since it was our first year here, we did not have the best of athletic teams, but still we are proud of the old Wofford spirit that our teams showed in fighting to the last ditch. The athletic officers were: Football — Captain, Brunson; Manager, Wharton; Baseball — Captain, Whar- ton; Manager, Whitmire; Basket-ball — Captain, Wilborn ; Manager, Thomason. Our Freshman declamation contest we have been told was second to none, and we believe that the speakers of our Class will make names for themselves yet. We re-entered school, after a long and pleasant vacation, on the sixteenth of September, 1914. How we rejoiced to be Sophomores! No longer would we be called Rats, and made to wait upon the upper-classmen. We would have our own Freshmen, to move at our beck and call. Never again would we be rolled in the snow by our elders. We would rather have the pleasure of seeing our rats suffer what we had undergone a year before. While we were greeting our classmates in September, we noted with sorrow that about one-third of the faces of our former classmates were absent. We have missed these men sorely during the year, but with the aid of our new members we set to work with a zeal on our Sophomore year. This year, too, has been a great year with us. In athletics, we have done especially well. We contributed six men to the Varsity football squad. Our Class football team, after three hard-fought games, holds the champ ' on- •ship of the College. The coaches for the Class team were Moore and Plug Osborne. The officers were: Captain, Harlee; Manager; Osborne. We have good prospects for winn ' ng baseball and basket-ball teams. In oratory, we are doing even as great things as we are doing in athletics. Three of the six speakers for the oratorical contest are from the Class of ' 17. The speakers for the Sophomore declamation contest are: Calhoun, Kinard, H., and Williamson; Carlisle, Burgess and Sanders; Preston, Morgan and Herbert. We believe that this contest will be even better than our contest last year, and that a bright future awaits the Class of ' 1 7. — T. H.

Holroyd Historian Sixty-Seven FRESHMAN CLASS OFFICERS Sixty-Eight Sixty-Nine Freshman Class HisVorij ON THE morning of September 1 6, the old college bell ushered in a new scholastic year, and a new experience in our lives. The bell, as it swung to and fro, seemed to mock us in our thoughts. It seemed to be telling to us the sad reality that we were no more mamma ' s boys, to be petted, but men, here to prepare for the battles of life. We entered the old Chapel Hall with a feeling of pride to know that we were now a part of this mstitution ; also to know that we were college men. A feeling of responsibility seemed to be placed upon our young shoulders. Not only did the feeling of responsibility come to our minds, but also the acknowledgment of the fact that we had to meet these responsibilities in order to win. On account of the effect produced on the South by the war, our Class was not as large as previous ones; but what we lacked in quantity we made up in quality. Most of us knew, the day we arrived, how many months, weeks, days, and even minutes, there were before Christmas. Some had figured it to the seconds. Finally, the long-looked-for holidays came and went, taking with them a few boys from, our Class. It was rather hard to come back after the holidays, and get down to work for examinations, but finally, for all things have an end, they were past and forgotten. They came; we saw; both conquered. Soon after our arrival, we elected the following Class officers: J. E. Bar- rentine. President; R. H. Lawton, Vice-President; R. W. Martin, Secretarxi and Treasurer; W. C. Holroyd, Historian. The Freshman Exhibition speakers were chosen as follows: Calhoun Societ]), J. E. Barrentine and W. C. Holroyd; Carlisle, G. D. Sanders and C. Henry; Preston, F. L. Fitzsimmons and J. C. Fowler. When the smoke from the battlefield of athletics had blown away, the tallies remained. We find the Freshman Class far from the bottom. In all phases of athletics this year, our teams did great work, and were a credit to our Class. The managers and captains of the different teams were as follows: Football — Manager, H. W. Glanz; Captain, S. W. Barber; Baseball — Manager, J. H. Porter; Captain, . Eaddy; Basket-ball — Manager, S. J. Bethen, Jr.; Captain, O. V. Johnson. Summarizing, the past year has been one of hard work, intertwined with some genuine pleasure. We were entertained several times with receptions given in our honor, which were greatly enjoyed by us all. We now dedicate this space to the coming Freshman Class. Our Freshman days are gone, and Sophomore life will soon be here. Two more years yet stare us in the face before we are Seniors. Let us strive together now, while these years are still in the future, and establish a record and a name for the Class of 18, which will always be remembered. . , ' Seventy ■ Freshman Class ROLL ACKERMAN, C.

The reason of this is that there is no other organization that stands for the universal development of man. Never before have men thought so strongly of the development of the body, mind, and spirit being required to make the ideal man. The Young Men ' s Christian Association strives to develop these three very essential faculties so that every student will realize their value. A number of splendid opportunities have come to our campus this year through the efforts of the Association. The first was the State Conference, which met on the Wofford campus, October 1 4 to 18. Our Association derived great benefit from having a number of splendid young men from the various colleges of the State as its guests during this Convention, and we are sure that the interest in Association work has been stimulated by this Conference. Besides a large number of delegates, a large num- ber of the students also attended the meetings of the Convention. During the year, a number of noted speakers have visited our Association. The first was Mr. Gordon Poteat, traveling secretary for the Student Volunteer Movement, Mr. Poteat spent two days here in the interest of the Association work. While here, he made several addresses to groups of men in their voluntary study classes. He made one public address in the Association Hall, using as his subject, The Pioneer Mis- sionaries. This address was very instructive, and aroused much interest on the part of those who heard it. Mr. Poteat certainly proved himself to be an earnest worker while on the campus, and all of those who came in contact with him will long remember what he meant to them. Dr. Henry F. Cope, who is connected with the movement for Religious Edu- cation, spent some time on the campus during the Fall months. In a number of lectures he endeavored to give the students some idea of the importance of the part that the college men of today are expected to play in the movement for universal education. Dr. Cope spent some time giving the students advice on individual problems which they have to face in their home communities. The greatest influence that has come to the Association was that of Mr. E. C. Mercer, of New York, N. Y. Mr. Mercer is a worker among the men in college exclusively. Just before the Christmas holidays, we were fortunate enough to have him with us for a series of four lectures. He spoke from his own storehouse of experience, and in a simple, forceful way gave the students lots of first-hand knowledge concerning the college man ' s problems. The increased interest in Bible Study in the two lower classes is indeed gratify- ing. We hope that during the next few years this very important study will have a greater place in the work of the Association. This year we have a number of groups led by students from the upper classes. Mission Study Groups were organized on the campus for the purpose of study- ing some of the Mission Fields. One Hundred Twenty-Four One Hundred Twenty-Five OFFICERS B. S. Hughes - - - - President T.

You loved me back to iruth again — A firm foundation laid. Now manhood ' s days are upon me, I ' m threading life ' s intricate ways; And, oh! how I long for that haven.

FEBRUARY 10, 1915 No. 1 WOFFOED TRIMS ERSKINE FIVE BASEBALL SCHEDULE SALUTATORY We herewith siihmit to the in- spection of the student-body, faculty, and alumni of Woifora College, and also to the general public, this our first issue of a weekly Wcfford paper. Our aim is not to revolutionize the existing system of newspaper production, but to portray life on the campus as shown by the students ' activities in all phases of College work. Our real object is to promote a move- ment for a greater Wofford. This can be accomplished only by the active assistance of every alumnus. Therefore, we are trying, by means of this weekly paper, to strengthen the ties of interest and affection between Wofford and the old Wo.f- ford boys. Hence, we have adopted the name Old Gold and Black. This in itself is enough to arouse a patriotic feeling in the breast of every man who has watched our colors wave over the athletic field or at intercollegiate debates and oratorical contests. We have great hopes, therefore, of arousing an active outside in- terest in all phases of college athletics, as well as literary pur- suits. This, of course, can be done only by the assistance and hearty co-operation oi every individual member of the student-body. To become a thorough success, how- ever, our alumni must be brought in closer contact with college in- terests, in order that they can work hand in hand with us. To do this most effectively, every old Wofford man should subscribe, if possible, to the Old Gold and Black. We do not wish to convey the impression that we are trying to get every man who has at any time in the past attended College here to contribute financial aid to our sup- port. What we really want is to make our alumni feel at home on the campus. Come out to our games, join in our College yells, pull for our colors, the old gold and black, talk Wofford to any- body and everybody, and, in fact, take an active interest in our do- ings. (Continued on page 6) Wofford last Friday night over- whelmed Erskine in basket-ball by a score of 47 to 28. The fast Wofford five outclassed the visi- tors from start to finish, and after the first few minutes of the game the only question was the size of the score. The game was played in the City Y. M. C. A. Gym.- nasium, and the winning of it moved the Old Gold and Black quintet a step nearer the State championship. This eliminated Erskine from the running, and as Wofford has already trimmed the University of South Carolina, in Columbia, this makes our team a strong contender for chami ion- ship honors. The game was called at 8.30 o ' clock p. m. From the very start, the fast and heady teamwork of the Wofford men rushed Erskine off its feet, and they never had a chance to rally. The rapidity of the Wofford passes and play seemed to bewilder .the Erskine team, and only when Coach Mc- Coy ran in the second-string men, tswards the close of the game, was their team able to rally in any degree. However, the substitutes all played well, and held their own, showing that we have a capable bunch of second-string men. The Wofford team showed careful coaching and training in the fine points of the game, and it was their team work that con- tributed largely to the Terrier victory. The game was attended by a large and enthusiastic crowd, and the good attendance augured well for the future games. We play Clemson on their home grounds next Friday night, aiid hope to twist the Tiger ' s tail in his own den. The entire Wofford team played well in last Friday night ' s game, but the particular stars were Earle, who led, with eighteen points : Patterson, Anderson, and Steadman. For Erskine, Plaxico and McDaniels played well, each getting twelve points. The line-up (Continued on page 5) Under this, we publish fo-r the first time the Wofiford baseball scheaule for 1915. We have broken away from the time-hon- ored custom of only playing teams in this State, and this spring the Wofford nine will invade foreign fields, meaning North Carolina. The Old Gold and Black will meet the strongest teams in the Old North State, and Wofford men will have, for the first time in several years, the pleasure of going up against teams of very high class. Such teams as. A. M., Elon, Davidson, and Trinity will be sure to give our team a battle royal, but we feel sure that Wofford w!Tl come out with credit. The team will take a trip of about a week ' s duration up throutrh North Caro- lina,., and it will be for the first time in many years that Wofford plays A. M., Davidson, Guilford, and Elon. Besides these games, the schedule includes two games at the oratorical contest at Rock Hill, and the numerous Wofford men who attend the contest will be able to see their . team in action, and this should cause a greater number than usual to at- tend. A quartet of good games has been arranged for the week of the South Atlantic States Music Festival, and the crowds of visitors who attend will have the chance of seeing some of the best college games seen in Spartanburg in sev- eral years. Davidson, who always has a strong team, will be played on Tuesday afternoon ; Clemson, who has one of the best teams in the South, will be taken on Wed- nesday afternoon and Thursday morning; and the last of the series will be played with Newberry, on Friday. After this, the team goes on its tour into North Carolina. Much credit is to be given to Manager Lucas, for the able schedule which he has arranged has been made only after hard work, and is the best that Wofford has had for a long time. The schedule is as follows : March 23 — Wofford vs. W. F S., at Spartanburg.

Erskine 17: Wof- ford 34, Carolina 23; Wofford 47, Erskine 28; Wofford 19, Clemson 17. How does this look as a prospect for the championship of the State in basket-ball? We have noticed several en- couraging reports from our alumni in regard to- our paper. Although our first trials may accomplish little, we are bound to win out in the end if we go about it with the right spirit. Wofford has always ranked high in the State oratorical contests, but she has been very unsuccessful in the past in regard to intercollegiate debates. What we want to see is an awakening interest in matters pertaining to debate. For our two contests this year we were obliged to choose from a very limited num- ber of students who tried out at the preliminaries. As our paper is supposed to represent every phase of collep-e life, we seize this op- portunity to point out our weak- ness in this respect, and we hone that in the future more men will try out at the preliminaries. It will not be very long before the baseball season. Every man shottld, if possible, come out and try to make the team. We want to develop a greater college spirit than we have had in the past, and the best way to do this is to have every man take an active interest in all phases of college athletics. If we intend to have a good team, we must have plenty of material to pick from. Therefore, we are expecting a good number to try out. The following news item is from the Southern Christian Advocate: The , iWarion-Dillon W o ff o r d Alumni Association held its eighth annual meeting at MuUins, on the eighth of last December. ' Hard times ' could not prevent about forty Wofford men from meeting in happy fellowship on that occa- sion. The classes represented covered a period from 1869 to 19 14, and the Wofford of nearly half a century was passed in re- view by the very presence of the men themselves. Virtually the whole day was passed in renewing the alma mater spirit and loyalty. In no other part of South Caro- lina is there a stronger attacnmenv or a more devoted fidelity to Wof- ford than is to be found among these Marion-Dillon men. We are glad to note such meet- ings of the alumni. Upon such an occasion, men who have had the same experience of college life, and cherish the heritage and ideals of the same alma mater, get together and renew these experiences. We do not know of any better way to strengthen the ties that bind those who have gone out from Wofford. Other meetings of this kind are being held in different sections of the State. The Spartanburg alumni met and reorganized themselves on February 2. The Anderson Wof- fordites met, and had Dr. Snyder to address them, on February 13. We hope that the alumni in all sections of the State will organize themselves, and use the Old Gold and Black as their medium of ex- pression. It is our desire to aid in any way possible the complete organization of the Wofford alumni. P. T. Carter returned early this morning from his semi-weekly visit to the suburbs of the city. Burr is always there with the goods. Edgar Milligan, of the Textile Industrial Institute, of this city, was at breakfast at Carlisle Hall, Sunday, with L. D. B. Williams. The above mentioned institution is one of the greatest things in our State, and we are always glad to have one of its representatives with us at any time. EDITORS C. E. KING. . Editor-in-Chief 1 J.

When the Terrier barked, the Tiger beat it to the woods. There are three tilings that every college student must do be- fore he can be an active and con- scientious student. In the first place, he must do each day ' s duty in the best possible manner. One ' s possibilities are measured by the number of duties performed. No man is a true student who shirks his daily duties. In the second place, he must boost and support all college activities. No man is worthy to be a member of an organization who is not inter- ested in the activities of that or- ganization, and a student ' s interest isn ' t worth very much unless his support is given. In the ne.xt place, students must patronize those who help to make college activities possible. Advertisements are essential in all college pub- lications. Students should show their appreciation by patronizing those who are kind enough to lend their support by advertising. R. J. Syfan WINNER STATE ORATORICAL CONTEST Neglected 0|p|j orVumti) (Winning Speech in South Carolina Intercollegiate Oratorical Contest, Rock Hill, S. C, April 24, 1914) t5 ii HE uplifting of the democratic masses depends upon the implanting at school of the taste for good reading. These are the words of one of the world ' s greatest educators, Charles W. Eliot, sometime president of Harvard College. He also said, on another occasion, that taking into consideration the money, the work, and the time that we have put into them, our common schools are a failure. Coming from such a man, this statement deserves the attention of every forward-looking American. Are our common schools a failure? And if so, why? Books are almost thrust upon us, floods of them flow from our presses — cheap enough for the poorest, and elegantly bound for the rich; our cities and towns are full of free libraries; and yet, with all these potent appeals to read, it is a shameful fact that we are not a reading public. It used to be the custom of our families to gather around the fire after supper to spend a pleasant and profitable evening in reading good, wholesome books; but today such a thing as spending an evening at home reading is seldom thought of. As soon as supper is over, the whole family, old and young, are off to the theater, to the card party, or to the dance. This is true not only of the well-to-do class, but it is true One Hundred Sixty also of the poorer class of people. They spend all of their extra time and nickels at the moving picture show or some cheap vaudeville. The effects of bookless homes are felt everywhere. College professors not only report almost incredible ignorance of standard literature among the freshman classes, but they say that the average freshman doesn ' t even know how to read. This is true of freshmen from well-to-do homes, from homes which should be so full of books that just to be among them would be an irresistible inspiration to read ; from families whose conversation at the table should be enough to give the children at least a little knowledge of all the best literature. Our American girl, who will to a large degree determine what shall be the character of the homes of the future, gives little or none of her time to the reading of good books. She trills and warbles and motors and whists ; she pounds the family piano ; she e ' ats chocolates enough to fill a well ; she engages in the titivations of a toy dog; she dreams of sunbursts and tiaras, while her papa worries about notes and bills. This next sentence, in Mr. Bacheller ' s bit of humor at the expense of the American girl, introduces us to another phase of this subject: She lies on downy beds of ease, with the last best seller and worst smeller. The little time that we do spend in reading is spent, not in reading books that train character, and that discipline and elevate thought, but books that are either morally debas- ing or mentally debilitating. Many of the books and magazines published today are rank with immorality and vice. And to the disgrace of the American people we are forced to acknowledge that, out of the great supply of books and magazines published, it is not the elevating type which the mass of our people select to read. Examine the shelves of any of our bookstores, and you will find plainly revealed there the literary taste of the Ameri- can public. Go into the day coach of any one of our trains. What is the type of magazine sold by the news butcher and read by the passengers? Go into one of our public libraries, and you will find that most of the best books and magazines look new, and are kept neat and clean, whereas the questionable books are finger-worn and dog- eared from much reading. We cannot overlook a second class of books which seem to gratify the tastes of the public, books which in a moral sense are not bad, but which fail to supply the brain with enough exercise to keep it healthy. The books that the mass of our people read today are commonplace, mediocre work. George Haven Putnam, president of the G. P. Putnam Sons, one of the veteran and commanding figures in American book publishing, when asked to give the present status of book publishing, and the tendencies of the literary market, said: My father did a better business in 1850 in the sale of standard literature than we are doing today, in proportion to the increase of the population. In certain cities of the South the purchase of standard literature was greater, not only relatively but abso- lutely, in 1850, than it is at the present. The truth forces itself upon us, the democratic mass doesn ' t care for great literature. As the twig is bent, the tree ' s inclined. If the democratic mass does not care for the best in literature, the blame must be laid at the door of our common schools. It is One Hundred Sixty-One an undeniable fact that the habit of reading and the taste for good reading are alrrost invariably acquired between the ages of eight and fourteen. As Socrates has said, In every enterprise, the beginning is the main th!ng, especially in dealing with the young and tender; for at that time it is most plastic, and into it the stamp which it is desired to impress sinks deepest. A child at this time in its life is of a prying dispos tion; new interests, tastes, and desires declare themselves, and now it is determined whether the mere passing impulses and likings are to receive a home in the soul. It is during this germinant period that the child, if ever, forms the habit of reading. And who is better suited or in a better position to present to the child the right standard of literature and to develop this taste in the child than the teacher? Yet nine-tenths of our grammar schools actually have not a single book for the children to read. Many of them are fitted up with every modern convenience — steam heat, sanitary ventilation, sanitary drinking fountains, sanitary every- thing; when actually and literally there is not a single book in them for the children to read. Our schools are teaching the children how to read, but are utterly ignoring their other and more important duty of teaching them to read and what to read. Reading is necessary to secure a high type of citi zenship. The power to read is so comm.on that we seldom stop to consider its wonderful influence, and the necessity of it in the development of character. By no process of legislation can you legislate morals or intellect into a man. A man ' s character must be developed from within, and this develop- ment is secured in only two ways: reaction upon environment, and reaction upon ideas. As the environment of the mass of our people is not conducive to the development of high character, they must reach above their plane, and get ideas and ideals from books; they must associate with the thoughts of great men, if they cannot associate with great men. They must be introduced through the schools to books, and given a chance to get the higher ideals and sentiments of the race, as expressed by the poets and seers. In a town of an adjoin ' ng State, a year or two ago , a small store was opened for the sale of cheap literature; and the keeper got most of his trade from the young school- boys of the town. No one thought anything of it. Last year, twelve of this merchant ' s little customers organized themselves into what they called The Midnight Order of the Black Cats, and they used as their headquarters a cave which they found on the outskirts of the town. They met every afternoon, read their books, and then on the next con- venient night put what they had read into practice. In the dead hours of the night, they would crawl out of the windows of their rooms, meet in some dark place, and draw straws to see who should do the work. The three unlucky ones would steal around beh ' nd the chosen store, lurk in wait until the policeman had passed, and then with a glass cutter cut the glass out of the back window, crawl in, and make way with what they wanted. This continued until several stores had been robbed. When all twelve were caught, they were found to be boys from the best homes of the town. The cave was searched, and there was found, together with a considerable amount of stolen goods, a collection of dime novels which the boys had bought. The citizens of the town woke up. The little bookstore was closed, which was proper; but there was a deeper cause of trouble, which dated farther back than the bookstore. When those boys entered the grammar school, they were One Hundred Sixty-Two taught how to read, and there the school stopped. The school placed an edged tool in the hand of a child, and no effort was made to teach the child how to use it. The closing of bookstores cannot put a stop to the reading of bad hterature; nor can you put a stop to it by any other method of censorship. I agree with Bernard Shaw in saying, Supply the public with the books the public wants ; but what we must do is to regulate what the public of the future wants. If a man were going into a malarial section of the country, would he carry a whole suitcase full of quinine with him, or would he not do better to build up his constitution, and go into the infected section with a body strong enough to withstand and throw off the fever germs? Let us try, as in the case of this man, not a cure, but a preventive. Let us put more emphasis on good reading and good libraries in our common schools. Let us teach the children not only how to read, but to read, and what to read. Let us remember that it is the empty head which becomes filled with that which is cheap and mean. When the unclean spirit is gone out of a man, he walketh through dry places seeking rest; and finding none, he saith, ' I will return unto my house whence I came out ' ; and when he cometh he findeth it swept and garnished. Then goeth he and taketh to him seven other spirits more wicked than himself; and they enter in and dwell there; and the last state of that man is worse than the first. — Ralph J.

WiCFALL, ' 15 One Hundred Sixty-Three A Lie — Justifiable? Captain Adams, Troop A, First United States Cavalry: Find Madurzo, and Effect His Capture. R. H. Warren, General Commanding. a APT. WALTER ADAMS, in command of Troop A, First United States Cavalry, read the order from his general a second time. It was brief, and to the point: Fmd Madurzo, and effect his capture. The captain placed the paper in an inner pocket, strode hastily from his tent, and began selectmg such men from his troop as he could most rely on, and fitted them for the enterprise at hand. An hour before sunrise, the detachment was in the saddle, galloping over the barren wastes to the westward. Since their arrival at the border, the men of the First had been kept more than busy. It was at that time of the Mexican insurrection when Madero, with a thousand rebels, lay entrenched around Juarez, burning the railroad bridges to prevent any relief from the south from reaching the besieged city, and awaiting reinforcements from across the border before making a second attempt to capture Casas Grandes; and it was to prevent just such filibustering that the First Cavalry was vigilantly patrolling a portion of the northern banks of the Rio Grande. Still the smuggling of guns and ammunition — even rebel recruits — had not been entirely check ed. The most daring and successful fiilibuster of all was Miguel Madurzo. Little was known of this daring and loyal, but exceedingly wary, personage, save that he was a young man, that he was of Mexican descent, and that before the outbreak of the insurrection he had lived with his mother and sisters somewhere in the vicinity of the vil- lage of Capistrano, in Southern California. Truly, he seemed possessed of a charmed life. Only a few days previous to the orders to effect his capture, he and a band of his followers had been surprised and surrounded by a squad of cavalry which outnum- bered them five to one. Though their supplies were taken, and Madurzo was wounded, he alone succeeded in escaping. There was little choice in the minds of the grim, determined men of Adams ' detachment. The order was clear and emphatic. To return without the leader of the filibusters would be little short of disgrace to the First. And to Captain Adams, suc- cess meant the continued respect of his superior officers, and possibly promotion. Hard and furiously they rode, straight for the old home of the young rebel, for it was there — so reliable word had come — that young Miguel Madurzo had made his way speedily, though badly wounded, to seek refuge among his own. Capistrano is a tiny village, nestling on a slope that drops gently down from the mountain top to the glimmering sea below. Small whitewashed hovels, and low, semi- modern structures line the irregular streets. It was here that the weary, dust-covered One Hundred Sixty-Four troopers arrived, after forced marches of days and nights. They dared not enter the village itself, lest the word of their coming might reach the ears of Madurzo. So Captain Adams camped on the outskirts, and sent out scouts to acquire any information attainable. These found little enough to report. One, however, learned the location of the little hovel wherein Madurzo had been born. In the same hut, a mile beyond the further side of the village, his mother and sisters still lived. Accordingly, at daybreak on the following morning, the hut was surrounded by the grim and determined cavalry. The circle drew closer and closer to the hut, until they were within fifty yards of it; still there were no signs of human habitation. Then suddenly a lean, wolf-like dog leaped from the shadows, and began barking furiously. The next moment the frightened face of a girl appeared at one of the windows, but quickly disappeared as the frightened eyes beheld the advancing men. A quick charge over the remaining space brought them to the partly open door. Led by Captain Adams, they entered with a rush, sabers drawn, expecting to be met by a volley of shot. Instead, they saw two terror-stricken girls cowering in a corner. Apparently they were the sole inmates of the hut. While his men were making a careful search of the premises. Captain Adams remained behind to assure the girls that no harm would come to them; and, if possible, to learn something of the whereabouts of the filibuster. His efforts were futile. It was evi- dent that they understood no English, and he as l.ttle Spanish; he turned away to rejoin his men. As they were about to give up the search, and while Adams was at some distance from his men, he made a startling discovery. In a pile of rubbish behind one of the outbuildings, he espied a piece of linen evidently used as a bandage. He picked it up, and examined it. There were crimson stains on it, and they were not yet dry. Madurzo has been here within an hour, he thought; but he made no mention of what he had found. Instead, he divided his men into search parties, to set forth and scour the immediate vicinity with the utmost haste and caution. Then he set out alone in quest of the wounded filibuster. The old Mission at Capistrano is today a venerable yet crumbling ruin. The large sanctuary is bare and weatherbeaten, the cloisters — most of them — are roofless; bones of monks lie beneath the tangled shrubbery. The bells still hang in the crumbling tower, seemingly ready to fall with the first heavy storm or disturbance. To this old Mission Captain Adams had made his way, weary in soul and body from the futile search which had extended from early morning till now, late in the after- noon. The peace and solitude which seemed to hover over the dark walls, the gray shadows cast by the crumbling towers, afforded a welcome contrast to the toil and fatigue he had been sharing with his men. Adams dismounted, tied his horse, and with dragging steps walked through the silent corridors to the sanctuary within. The cool a.r seemed to refresh him, and he seated himself on a stone bench beside the wall. Gradually his thoughts turned to his surroundings, and he imagined he saw the black-robed figures in silent procession. Then they began to offer prayers — prayers that must have ascended to heaven. Suddenly, low and muffled, he heard a voice in prayer. One Hundred Sixty-Five He jumped to his feet, a cold perspiration breaking out on him. He had always laughed and scoffed at tales of ghosts ; but this — could it be the prayer of some spirit long smce passed away? He stood dumbfounded, and transfixed to the spot. A gain Adams heard that voice in prayer, somewhere beyond the bare wall before him. He pulled himself together as best he could, and advanced along a dark passage- way to his right. At length he stopped and listened. The prayer came more distinctly now, and below one of the few remaining doors of a cloister shone a feeble light. He pulled lightly against the door, and it swung silently open ; the next moment he stood looking within the moldy ante-room. In one corner, revealed by a single lighted candle, on a bed of straw lay a motionless form — the form of Miguel Madurzo! In the opposite corner, before a crucifix, knelt an aged, trembling woman; it was her prayer that Adams had heard from the sanctuary. He understood it all now. Fearing the soldiers would follow her wounded son, she had carried him from their humble abode to the holy place of refuge, where her care- ful nursmg might save his life. The prayer ceased. She had heard no sound, but some instinct seemed to warn her of danger. She turned fearfully, and saw the grim figure of the cavalryman at the entrance. A moment they stood facing each other — the aged, sorrowing mother, the stern- visaged soldier; then suddenly the aged form seemed to wilt before him, and she lay moaning at his feet. He could understand but little Spanish; but who would not know the words which came from the heart of that mother, prostrate, pleading for her son ' s life? A torrent of emotions swept his brain. He sympathized with the sorrowing woman — but he must remember his duty. He half turned to call out to his men, a detachment of whom he had seen as he entered the ruin; but she elapsed his knees tightly, and the call died on his hps. She grasped his saber and pressed it to her breast. Kill me, she moaned; but spare my boy. He tried to loosen the clutch of her fingers. But he is my prisoner, he broke out hoarsely. I must take him with me! She understood his words; this time she answered partly in Spanish and partly in broken English, but he knew well the substance of her anguished appeal. She was say- ing that if her boy were moved he would surely die; even now he hovered at death ' s door; only the hand of a mother could guard the feeble spark of life remaining. He felt tears welling up to his eyes as he heard her pleading: Senor, have you a mother a — a mother who loves you more than her own life — who would live only for you — or die for you? The sound of approaching steps told him that his men were comin g to look for him. A moment he looked at the pale face; then silently departed, and closed the door behind him. I ' ve searched throughout the ruins, he said, as they reached his side; he isn ' t here. Call the men together, and pitch camp. We leave for the fort at sunrise tomorrow. As the weary troopers rode down to a small stream near by, the breeze swayed the old bells in the tower, and they seemed to tell of man ' s humanity to man, of hal- lowed reverence to mother love. — J. P. Earle, ' 1 6 One Hundred Sixty-Six ' ' I J The OjpjportunU ' ies of Life VERY age, and each era in every age that is individual enough to stand out as an era, might well be described by some distinctive name. The vs orld has had its stone age and its iron age ; its era of gunpowder discovery, and its period of intellectual expansion due to the printing press; its renaissance of learning, and its era of democratic institutions. However, today we are facing — no, we have already entered upon — an era as important, as interesting, and as full of meaning as any previous era in the world ' s history — the Age of Opportunities. We often hear it said that young people today have fewer opportunities to rise than their grandfathers had, because the learned professions are now so crowded, because business competition is so keen, and because conditions of success are hedged about with so many temptations to honesty and virtue. Doubdess all this is true, as to matters of fact; but are the conclusions drawn from the facts altogether justified? I think not. If it is true that the professions are crowded, and competition in business keen, and the dangers of moral failure great, it is also true that all civilization has conspired to give young people a much more efficient preparation for the tasks of life than was possible to our fathers; the rewards of success in any calling are more than proportionate to the effort required to achieve success; and the tremendous expansion of the world ' s industries has created a thousand new avenues for earnest endeavor. The ancients used to believe that a man ' s destinies were determined by the con- stellations under which he was born. But a modern poet has well told us that it is not in our stars, but in ourselves that our fate is cast. The City of Chicago has taken for its motto the magic words Will! ' ' and in them we find the real limits of what man can do. St. Paul found it to be true in religion, Galileo demonstrated its reality in science, Lewis and Clark proved its meaning in discovery; myriads of courageous men and women have in all ages and in all lands made themselves living witnesses of the encouraging fact that all things are possible to those who believe, who link themselves with the spiritual and material powers for good in the world, and who rvill to accomplish the impossible. Opportunity is a door. One side is labeled Pull, and the other is marked Push. It requires some commonsense and even some experience to discover that the Pull side more often opens outward, while he who pushes enters the temple of success. The weak youth depends on pull for his advancement, and often finds himself in the cheerless street when he passes through the doorway ; whereas the youth who has the daring, the self-confidence, the energy, and the faith to push, is pretty sure to find that the great door at length yields to his earnest, persistent pressure, and admits him into a new world, filled with chances to prove his right to serve mankind — for after all that is the largest and the sweetest reward that can come to God or man. One Hundred Sixty-Seven IS e can But if this is the Age of Opportunities, we must not, even for a moment, lose sight of the fact that the age has a keynote — a big word, a master idea, an open sesame to its secrets. And that keynote, that big word, that master idea, that open sesame, i efficiency. At the foundation of the successful life is the efficient life — that is, the Hf whose powers are so developed, so controlled, and so harmoniously ordered that they accomplish the greatest degree of result with the smallest degree of waste-effort. This principle of efficiency is revolutionizing the whole world; we see its grow- ing power on every hand. The application of the pulley now enables the gunner ' s mate to swing a massive, steel-jacketed twelve-inch shell into place with one hand; the brick- layer learns that by studying the precise order of all his movements he can reduce from fourteen to ten the number of actions required for the laying of one brick ; the mail clerk in a publishing house becomes efficient by learning precisely how envelopes should be laid in order to seal the largest number in the shortest time. And so, one by one, the prmciples of efficiency are sought for, or even discovered by accident, in all the industrial, mer- cantile, and professional pursuits. But these things, after all, touch only the outer edges of efficiency; the real heart of the matter lies deep w thin. The kind of future man the world must deal with, and who must deal with the world, depends on the kind of boy who is the father of that man, for every boy is the father of his own future self. He comes into the world either aided or impeded by the heritage of habit from his ancestors; but much more depends on what sort of boy he makes of himself. Heredity offers either the good or the bad material with which he has to work in self-building; but it is a great big fact of expe- rience, and a happy fact too, that the determined acceptance of every opportunity will enable a youth to build an efficient life out of the poor material of self which has been transmitted to him by his ancestors. John Howard, one of England ' s greatest philan- thropists, was the son of the meanest man in Spain. Good King Josiah was the son of a wretchedly evil father. The fact which most people fail to realize is that opportunities move with precisely the speed of time. The clock ticks on — an opportunity is coming our way. Another tick, and the door is before us. One tick more, and the chance to push it open has forever gone. True, other opportunities will come, but that particular one, never again. And who can say whether the boat that went not out upon that one favorable flood-tide shall not forever lie bleaching on the strand — unlaunched, unmanned, and unknown ? Nowhere do these truths apply more really than in the field of education. The days are forever gone in which young men and women were able to fill the most respon- sible posts with slender equipment. Today life demands not only a full store of knowl- edge, but also trained faculties of reasoning and judgment, used in a specialized way. And tomorrow the demands will doubtless be still more exacting. Yet this is only one side of the matter. If the educational demands are great, so are their opportunities. A thousand new avenues for successful effort are open to those One Hundred Sixty-Eight who are willing to be trained to enter them efficiently. With every new or expanded opportunity for service in life comes the demand for special training; and that special training, in turn, is in itself an open door, broad and inviting. The minute investigations of chemistry point the way to work for pure foods, for safe and wholesome substitutes for high-priced articles for general use, for extending the usefulness of raw materials, for dis- covering new means for alleviating the ills of mankind. And this is just the beginning. But chemistry is only one of a score of old subjects made new by the magic of modern educational research. Think of the opportunities brought by this splendid advancement! And then think of the unexplored fields which seem to beckon men to their conquest! It was only half a truth when I said that opportunities were constantly coming to us. That is not all — many of life ' s greatest opportunities demand that we come for them. The old negro who said that he never heard tell of a man being elected who would not run had seized a real truth. The Roman boy complained that his sword was too short. Lengthen it by a step, answered his sword-master. . It is particularly in the arts and sciences that the widest fields await the ambitious youth today. New Madonnas are to be painted — the Madonnas of the twentieth century spirit. New Apollos are to be sculptured — the Apollos of modern labor. New inventions are to be made — the inventions of a wonderful nature such as the world has never known. But who are to be the painters, the sculptors, the inventors whose achievements the world of tomorrow will hail? They are the youth of today, who patiently and faith- fully and thoroughly not only accept the opportunities that come to them, but make those great and noble chances for success. The first big opportunity of life is for Self-Development. Two thoughts are important here: the opportunity of being something worth while, and the opportunity of doing something worth while. Strangely enough, young people often choose the latter before the former — that is, we lay more stress upon doing than being. Yet if there is one lesson that all history is teaching more earnestly than another it is that in order to do good work one must be a good workman. Who would hesitate to paint a masterpiece if he could do it without first undergoing the long years of preliminary study? Who would count it a hardship to enthrall the multitudes with his violin were it not for the seven hours a day for seventeen years which that enthralling performance entailed upon the artist? First steps come first. Character is fundamental to conduct. Without a doubt the opportunities for being or becoming are not nearly so popular as are those for doing — the scrub team seems not so honorable as the Varsity. Yet every great football coach will tell you that there could be no Varsity team, with all its plaudit- winning victories, were it not for the patient, brave-hearted scrub to take its daily batter- ing and never say die. One Hundred Sixty-Nine But there is another phase of the matter that must not be forgotten — the scrub player of today wins his Varsity letter tomorrow. Learning — difficult, bruise-taking, heart-rending learning — of today is the direct road to the coveted honors of the later day. All this does not mean that opportunity faithfully accepted always lead to public praise and great reward. It certainly does not, in many instances. The great, rough, faithful stones in the Charleston seawall are never seen of men; never polished, never adorned; yet they are finer than all the rest, because on their patient shoulders lies the safety of the whole wall. So the opportunity to be worth-while doing does not always carry with it a patent of nobility, except that most splendid of all nobility — a noble character. If we deliber- ately set out to build up self solely for the sake of self, we shall not only lose the joy of serving others, but we shall poison our own drink that we had thought to find so sweet in the day of our success. It is better to be a running stream, whose laughing generosity gives away all its blessed waters and receives in return the blooming flowers upon its banks and the singing birds above its mirroring bosom, than it is to be the selfish pool which refuses to give away a single drop of its treasured water, and finds the reward of niggard- liness in becoming a scum-covered, stagnant, miasma-breeding pond. Selfishness is its own reward, and nobody will pity it. The most spectacular achievements of life are those of conquest. The warrior at the head of his legions inspires the admiration of those who, from a distance, hear the news of his victories. The world has always made a hero of the strong leader; and cer- tainly much honor is his just due when he battles honorably and for a just cause. But more and more the world is coming to lament the terrible waste of war, and sorrow for those unplowed fields, those smoldering ruins of once happy homes, and those years of blighted young manhood which are a part of war ' s results. The people of the world are still spending vast sums for armaments, but they do so with increasing reluctance. PEACE is the golden word for tomorrow, for the ruin of useless struggle of nation against nation, of section against section, of brother against brother, is too painfully apparent to challenge our thoughtless enthusiasm, as was the case years ago, when glory was a synonym for rapine, plunder, and death. All the pursuits of peace are inviting. Look out across our well-loved State — see its broad fields mellow in the Spring sunshine; look how the fires of a thousand furnaces illuminate the night; see the thronging doors of shop and market; consider the schools crowded with children, who are to be the strong men and women of two decades hence; think of the churches where next Sabbath will gather the thousands who will thank their God and for what? For war? No! For peace and its opportunities to labor, to invent new ways to do old tasks, to discover treasures in nature, to devise ways for the advance of commerce, to plan for the broadening of education, to fight for a higher moral standard. These are the opportunities of the Ideal of Peace — an ideal more glorious than the greatest conquest ever achieved by the weapons of man, because it is more humane, more noble, more gentle, more loving, and more befitting the true spirit of true Americans. But this great Ideal of Peace, with its open doors to effort and advancement, how is it to be obtained? Many wise men have differed on this point, and it is hard to decide the great question. But this much may safely be sa ' d: In all our influence with old and young, let the glories of peace be extolled rather than the glories of warfare. Let us each as individuals, and all as a company, unite to press to their highest usefulness the arts of peace, and accept for ourselves and others the opportunities they present. As long as the world lasts, doubtless, the people of the world will go on makmg the same old m ' stakes, but meanwhile some men and women of the better sort, will be learn- ing by experience, and resolving to accept opportunities and make the best of them, even in unfavorable circumstances. The open door-will always be the open door to those who push it open; it will always be the closed door to those who stand disconsolately and count the nails in its solid oak planking. On the other side of the door lies the only thing for the moment worth while — the chance to do and be something bigger, finer, braver than we have been and done before. The ability, yes, even the heart, to push through, will depend in some measure upon how much we have helped or handicapped ourselves by our own past behavior. Every opportunity worthily accepted is a sat ' sfact.on ; every opportunity honestly sought out is a victory; every opportunity actually made is a triumph. Therefore, we see that not only those nearby doors which swing easily to our touch are the opportunities of life, but also those distant ones, which hide their great promise behind mountains, and interpose well-nigh impassable barriers before the approach of those who would attempt their conquest. He loses half the reward who attempts only the light task; he trains himself too moderately who runs along only the level path; he swims not victoriously who fears to breast a strong-moving tide; he courts eventual defeat who asks always for som.e charted way. Give me some difficult journey! prays the hardy explorer, and lo! he finds the Pole! Set me some unmastered problem! cries the big- spirited scientist, and he becomes the discoverer of a new element. First the little opportunity, then the great; first the school, then the world; first the testing sport, then the strenuous game of life ; each in its order, each in its time, and each well done, and that means the efficient life. — W.

It ' s a long, long way to graduation, sayeth the Freshman. Some students ' lives are just one old flunk after the other. Many students reach a turning point when they pass a pretty girl. It ' s easier to look thoughtful in Class than it is to deliver the thoughts. News of a fellow ' s flunking should be broken gently. Also this rule may be applied to bad eggs. When a ball team gets beat, they can always tell the reason why. But when most fellows flunk, they never can see how they did it. A Bookworm On what side of Wofford College do trees grow best?

It combines the discipline of the military institution with the close, personal touch of the tutorial system. Six teachers and a matron live in the two dormitories with the boys, thus making possible a sympathetic supervision at all times. The location of the plant on Wofford College campus gives the students of the Fitting School the advantage of the College Library, Gymnasium, Laboratories, Athletic Field, etc.; while the educational and musical advantages of Spartanburg are unexcelled.
