How much you have added to the enjoyment of our Senior year, how your sympathy and interest has light- ened our sorrows and disappointments and added a crowning pleasure to our joys and victories, you, perhaps, will never fully know; but the memory of the pleasant hours spent within your hospitable homes will ever linger in our hearts as the brightest moments of our college days. May the seeds of kindness and friendship which you have sown within our hearts, bear fruit in inspir- ing us to lives which shall make the world a little better for our presence, and bring within our own lives a rich harvest .of prosperity and peace throughout the coming years. “Dieu vous garde ” favorites. 24 FAVORITES.

But there are in every man s life thoughts of the past which are sweet to him and which he would fain keep fresh amid all the cares and vexations which mar his maturer years. So it is not to history of the Class of Nineteen Six is spread upon the pages of this book. When, in the fall of 1901, twenty-five young fellows came up from the forks of many creeks to this noble seat of learning, they were filled with much fear and trembling. Out before them stretched a long and dreary-looking course leading up through all the is any time when hope is supreme in mortal breasts, that time is early youth, and these Not all this hopeful band, however, were destined to realize these visions; for the next year saw but half of them return, with some recruits to fill up the vacant places. In the Sophomore year some of these had dropped out, but some notable men who now constitute more than half the class were added; and the opening of the Junior year found the personnel of the class the same as at present, with the exception of B. F. Maner, who left school in October; F. H. Shaw, H. H. Taylor and W. S. Taylor being the only three remaining of that hopeful twenty-five who made the brilliant start. The Senior Class of ’06 have had no “room whereinto no one enters save our- selves,” but have, so far as we might, identified ourselves with every movement by which the good of all the students might be advanced. We believe that one of the best things accomplished in the student-body for several years is the establishment of a voluntary honor system, whereby the whole student-body not only shows its disapproval of unfairness on examinations, but undertakes to prevent such conduct. Though it was one of our class who proposed this step, and led us to take the initiative in it, the establishing of the system is a credit to every class and every student who has lent it his support. It is to be regretted that the support of this system is not at present unanimous, and its effect- it may easily be made of great benefit to the school. If maintained zealously for a few years, it will be found that every student who enters college will sign its pledge almost as soon as he does the college book. “Calamity is man’s true touchstone,’’ is a saying which may well be applied to college examinations. There are few students but there are many who think that to get a little help in order to pass is justifiable. If requires us to sail under our own colors though we pass through the fires of destruction, we have erected a “monument more enduring than brass.” The memory of this will be sweet to us in those days when the mind reverts to the things of the pa our early doings with the sober judgment of maturity. We need not mention the bright particular stars in our number; t say that he who records our annals twenty years from now will need acquaintance to nearly all the dignified callings of life. From oi we furnish the bar two well-trained minds; the medical profession have laid for their life work a broader foundation than the average attained; the gospel ministry will have two recruits; and our other members the various business professions to which their circumstances call them, career in college we have furnished our quota of repres contests, among them a successful debater in ’04, another successful debater and the winner of the Preliminary Oratorical Contest of ’06. But these things will not be uppermost in the fond memories of a lat are such triumphs as these compared to the friendships formed? It is h the foundations for more than mere intellectual attainments; and we hope that a broad e physician h er day. What sympathy for our fellows is one of our attainments. To depart with the love of those with whom we have spent these years of mingled disappointments and joys, to feel that they in succeeding years would welcome us to their midst again, is far better than the passing joys of doubtful honors. This we have endeavored to bring about; and as the days which mark our sojourn here draw swiftly to a close, their end brings less of joy than of sorrow if in this one thing we have failed. We go forth now into a broader world, stronger because of the years spent here, better because of the friends we have found, purer because of the trials overcome, inspired by the good will of those from whom we part to zealously serve the present age, and so fulfill our calling.

It is with a certain degree of hesitation that the writer attempts to present a history of his beloved class. We are sometimes in danger of losing sight of the very significant fact that a “history” is not a “myth,” and by giving vent to our imaginative powers, however meager they may be, we may step over into the realms of the poet who has who, in after years, shall read this brief sketch of the Junior Class of 1906, shall be “Each for all and all for each.” crucial period. It is in the course of this period that the chemist, by brin ing to bear the various necessary forces, is able to separate the pure metal frcm the crude and unrefined ore. The more perfect the apparatus and the better suited the reagents, the more com- plete will be the separation. It is left largely to men to choose under what conditions they shall pass this period as well as the apparatus in which the refining shall take place. And so it was that fourteen of the very best specimens of crude ore (the writer excepted). st favorable and the apparatus ir crucial period at A t specific reagents ar believing that at A best, decided that at that place they would undergo th In the main the chemicals used to effect this refining or all; but at the same time the nature of the ore must determii required to bring about the desired results. It might be interesting to note, in addition to the common reagents used, viz.: Greek, Latin, Mathematics, French, German, Chemistry, Physics, Logic and English, some special ones which have been applied to certain individuals. They are as follows: Jones—Football and Ladies; Chamberlain—Ladies and Ladies; Morrell—A Lady, Football and Baseball; Touchstone—Football and Ladies + Ladies; Pitts—Football and Ladies (never late at first period recitations more than five days in the week) ; Moore —No Ladies and only an excess of English, having read 80 books per year for the last five years; Currie and Nesbitt—Concentrated solution of Football, but only a dilute solution of social intercourse with the fairer sex; Dellinger—Ladies and Music; Lang— Ladies and Baseball, Ladies and Journalism; Henderson—A Lady and------------the same Lady; Holman—Socialism, Journalism--------a knowledge of all kinds of “isms.” The phenomena during this year have been such as cause only a slight explosion ing over us (the Faculty), as well as to the “preps,” now give full assurance that all will be well and that the final product will be a fine collection of valuable metal. The Junior Class, believing that in union there is strength, has from the beginning been a thoroughly organized body. This is evidenced by numerous events which have taken place during the past year, some of which are the following: We are not a tyrannical body, and it was very much to our sorrow (?) when a certain under-classman, having returned home, wrote back to his brethren that “The Perhaps the most pleasing event of the year was the banquet held in the private dining hall of the Binkley Hotel, and which has never been eclipsed, nor even equaled, by any other class in Austin College. On the evening of January 17, 1906, the entire class, together with a former class-mate, Mr. George, of Roanoke, Texas, gathered in 33 this magnificently decorated “Salle a Manger.” Eight elegant courses were served, covers being laid for fifteen, and after the rendering of numerous instrumental selections by some of our own number, several toasts, and songs by the Junior Quartette, the time had arrived to return to “the hill.” But there was something yet before we should go. We are not all ministers. Not quite all are Christians. But every one is a man. After an appeal that the blessed tie that binds us in spirit might never be broken, at the request of the toast-master, every head was bowed while there was offered the benediction for It should be recorded to our credit that we are furnishing men for the following positions: Captain, Football Team; Gymnasium Instructor; President, Y. M. C. A.; President and Manager, A. C. Glee Club, which is to take an extended trip over the State. There are three Juniors on the Athenaeum Quartette, the only one in Austin College, and one of the delegates to the Y. M. C. A. State Convention is furnished by our class. And one thing of which we are especially proud—three of our band attended the International Students’ Volunteer Movement at Nashville, Tennessee. Both the Story Contest, are Juniors, and we also furnish one representative on the San Jacinto Oratorical Contest, which, at this writing, has not yet taken place, and while the result, therefore, is not known, it goes without saying that our man is a strong one. It is not known yet how many of our number will handle the glove and bat this year. Nesbitt is captain of the team, and Lang, an old man of “ ’04” team, will add strength to that of this year. Morrell’s baseball record is too well known to need further commendation Thus it will be seen that we are shouldering more than our pro rata of college It has been said that the character of a man’s later life can be predetermined largely by what he is in college, and if this be true, considering at the same time that the man- date, Know thyself, ’ is one to the full realization of which humanity has never attained, it is safe to predict that the world will turn with pride to the lives of the men who filled the ranks of the Juniors of 1906. Now, in conclusion. Fellow Juniors, the world will little note what we have done here. It is our “to-days” and “to-morrows” that demand our greatest attention. Let us. 34 35 SOPHOMORE CLASS.

When a proposition confronts a man it veils the halo of enchantment which distance lends, puts on a bold front, clothes itself in stern facts and says, “Here I am.” ing the history of a beginning class bears a striking resemblance to the narration of the past life of a chick hatched only a few hours before, an infringement must be made upon Modern history, unlike that of earlier times, discards beauty of expression in prefer- ence to truth, whether it comes clad in robes of innocence, or wrapped in the swaddling clothes of hideousness. The class of ’09 is composed of men, the majority of whom are raw recruits enlisted within the last half term. However, there are some who have left their fame emblazoned upon the uncertain heavens of distant prepdom; have bridged the intervening chasm and are now grazing in the green, green pasture of Freshmanhood. The class, as a whole, is progressing steadily onward to the desired goal. Individ- ually it has been torn by thorns and thistles along the wayside. By no means has it fired the world with knowledge, but as a beginning class it has been doing remarkably This class is well represented in all the organizations of the institution. Upon the gridiron it is not found wanting. Some of the star men of the season were members of this class. On the Baseball Diamond they are there, bubbling over with College spirit and enthusiasm. In the Glee Club, where a Freshman’s chirp avails as much as a s tenor, what class is more loyal? In the Literary Society halls they stand shoulder to shoulder with the upper classmen, and are “right there” in quantity if not in The prospects of the class are encouraging. In it all the leading professions from the bar to the pulpit are represented. All branches of science from hoboology to per- petual motion. Some have hitched their wagons to a star, and are doubtful as to whether they will ever get them again. But there is no great loss without some gain. As Freshmen there is no past record to rely upon, no historic facts to substantiate its claims. All that is said is regarding its present merit and future outlook. It is in no condition, nor has it ever had the opportunity, to make a glowing record for its beloved institution. As truly as the opportunity makes the man, so the opportunity makes the class. A prediction may be made that when the opportunity does come the class of 09 will be found bearing its share of the burden. No class history would be complete without the mention of the individual members. For want of space this history will be partially incomplete. Only the most prominent classmen will be mentioned. Among Mr. Aldrich’s virtues, aside from being the ’09 Pythagoras, is his oratory, which R. O. Bass is one of the brightest stars in the Freshman constellation. There is wilds of Wentworth have no terror. Another man deserving special mention is Bryant, the Stoic. The rolling waves of mirth are dashed to foam against his set features. Besides making himself famous and Crawford. Enough has been said when they are mentioned as two of the best all-around men of the class. Ewing is a name unusually familiar, considering the time he has been in our midst. Josh is a good, all-around classman, and is hampered by none of the prevailing evils of the day. work, Bernard is a cricket upon the Baseball Diamond. In him is doubtless the coming channel.” So together the of Coleman French, scholar, patriot and ladies’ man. All who know James per impressed with his striking personality. Garner Tankersley Hammock is a name known in the circles of society. Tank from one point of view would be called a genius. He is endowed with a remarkable personal appearance, and has been called the nightingale of the ’09s. In dancing his gracefulness upon the floor is an object of envy to both brave men and fair women. And last, but not least, in manners he is the very reincarnation of Chesterfield. If fortune does not favor Tank, our blandest hopes and fondest expectations are blighted. We are proud to say that we have in our fresh, green bouquet of classmen a flower whose fragrance and beauty is unexcelled, that was plucked from the vine-clad banks of San Marcus River: Mr. Chas. J. Hutchings. Mr. Hutchings has been given the dis- tinction of being the only moderate scientific ladies’ man of the class. The name of Owens sounds as familiar in the ears of his classmen as the ring of the old college bell. Owens, we are glad to say, in spite of his non-conservative prin- Stephens is the pride of the class on account of his abundance of “horse sense.” “Ichabod” bids fair to shine in future life and be an honor to his college. Steel is a dandy classman, especially bright in English department. It has been suggested that if Willie would mingle with society he would see more of the sunny side of life, but he declares that his curly locks shall tinge with gray ere they shall be Hazzard is a man of sterling worth. The problem of life is to him a joke. He states, however, that college life is very trying upon the nerves, and if it was not for the pressure being relieved on Friday nights he would collapse and become a nervous Enough has been said of Lothrop when when it is stated that he is one of the faithful few who survive the old prep class of last year. “Mogul” is a prohibitionist straight and narrow. Class spirit is as abhorrent to his conservative principles as any other. As our representative from old Mexico we have Silliman. Mr. Silliman is a very talented youth, speaking several languages and dialects. For sake of emphasis the name of John W. Story, the President, ever loyal to the 45 SUB-FRESHMAN CLASS.

Then came the first term ex- thing was to get home as fast as possible, for, though college life is fine, there are not The holidays soon passed away, and the time for returning to school was at hand. end, which time is now fast approaching. The game of the season is baseball, and several members of our class have already proved themselves efficient in this art. There was a meeting of Kangaroo Kourt early in January, which was called to pass judgment upon the crimes of the new students and to punish all those who had forgotten to walk in right paths. Our class has not made much of a history yet, but we trust that the saying, “1 lappy are the people whose annals are brief,” will apply to us. Historian. ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION OFFICERS J. D.

It is very much to be deplored that interest in Track Athletics is at such a low ebb in Austin College. As this copy of the College Annual goes to press the prospects for a Field Day are very slim indeed despite the fact that there is an abundance of good ;ficient in all branches of athletics, and none offers more diversity than Field Work. It is possible that when the novelty of baseball wears off some interest in Track Athletics may spring up. If such be the case the interest is sure to increase and a Field Day will be the result. It is the intention, if sufficient interest is manifested, to carry out the following program on April 21 : Running Broad Jump, Standing High Jump. Running High Jump Pole Vault, Shot Put, Hundred Yard Dash. Hundred Yard Hurdle, Baseball Throw, 220 Yard Dash, Split Kick. Hitch Kick.

There are great truths and vital ones to be learned from the public pulpit and we all feel the in- fluence set forth there but no less do we feel the effect and see the fruit of the Young There is no one who is not susceptible to the influences of his associates, and in an organization of this kind which is composed of young men who have one common end in view, that of bettering their own and their neighbor’s spiritual and physical being, it is quite easy to see what a great impression, though possibly silent, it must eventually work in the great community of mankind. Recognizing these great truths and at once seeing the fertile field which college life affords such an organization, the faculty and students of Austin College in 1890 who acted in that capacity until 1892. Since that date the student-body has furnished all its officers and conducted, with the advice of sympathetic members of the faculty, the business of the Association. Though difficulties and discouragements have arisen from time to time, both financial and otherwise, it is a pleasure and a cause for thanks that the Association is in a very healthy condition and is a “real live thing.” We have been represented from year to year in all the State Conventions and have also been in attendance through our delegates at the national meetings of the organiza- tion; and as further proof that we are alive, we are in debt to no man. Further, when the call was made in Hillsboro in 1905 for subscriptions to support a College Secretary in the field our Association was ready with its share of the amount asked, and though the College Secretary was not employed by the State Committee in that year, we stand ready with our support for the proposed m Should you ask what is the most atti ve part of the Association’s work in Col- lege life, the answer would come I’m sure from every member, that it is the weekly prayer meetings, which in our Association are held on Sunday afternoons for an hour. We come together with a leader selected from our number or our friends and are all free In the year 1904 there was a movement started by a member of the faculty who has College at heart, together with a few faithful student members of the Association, to thousand dollars. Though the building is yet in the future, there is now to the credit nt and it that the building is to be a reality in the near future. At this time there is not in the State a college Y.

Truly has it been said, “Fools rush in where angels fear to tread.” Followers of the divine “Pallas,” draw nigh unto this sacred altar, on which the virgin fires have never ceased to glow, that we may consult the “Augurs” and learn the pleasure of our paternal gods respecting these plebeians. Right well and faithfully have we guarded the sanctity of our order but now. Time has thinned our ranks, some of our wisest councilors have gone to return no more, some of us are on the very threshold and must soon lay aside forever our robes and follow where others have already gone. Great Jupiter is even now balancing our destiny in the scales of time, the immortal gods are holding council and our fate must soon be determined. “Shall we sink or swim, survive or perish, live or die?” are the burning questions. Plainly if we are to go on in the great work of enlightening the darkened places of the world our ranks must be refilled, our numbers recruited. You behold in me, your High Priest, him whose bent form and hoary locks betoken one who formerly towered high above most mortals and was famous for deeds of might, but who is now tottering on the brink and whose end is not far off. You, my faithful ones, are no longer firm of step and piercing of eye. You whose voices made mountains tremble and wild beasts see their hiding-places must soon go hence and your oracular sayings will reverberate in these halls no more. We must, together, go the way of the world and join our fathers in the “Elysian Fields” of The gods favoring, let us select from these assembled youths those whom the auspices favor and initiate them into the mysteries.

HISTORY OF PHILENNOIAN SOCIETY. something to be at once perceived, limited, and described. It is a dispensation of Provi- never-ending agency. In influence it survives the men who founded it—more—perhaps members, have regarded the Philennoian Society. January 31, 1891 was a promising day for the Literary Society spirit of our Col- lege—marking, as it did, the birthday of a new society—the Philennoian. On that day seven members of the Nestorian Society, realizing that competition was the life of society resigned and organized the Philennoian Society, adopting as their seal a cedar tree in a “C”—thus making themselves “C cedars.” A good motive clothes itself with sudden power. The task of this little band was a truly difficult one. But fortunately for both understanding to direct, and hands to execute. Realizing that courage and uprightness were essentials in success in literary, as well as in other fields, they took as their motto: “Sine Timore, Sine Culpa,” and commenced their arduous task. “In the lexicon of youth, which Fate reserves for a bright manhood, there is no such word as ‘Fail.’ ” With strong hearts and definiteness of purpose, meeting from room to room, this little band of loyal rebels continued to pursue and to achieve. Theirs was that faith which wears well and holds its color in all weathers. They struggled with that patience and hope which assured power. “All things come to them who will but wait.” In 1894 through the liberality of the four Files brothers, F. M. Files, T. J. Files, J. O. Files, and A. H. Files, and their sister, Mrs. A. C. Lane, the east wing of the College building was erected and our present Files Hall given free gratis to the faithful little Philennoian group. True and practical wisdom consists, not in seeing what is immediately before our eyes, but foreseeing what is to come. The true benefactors of mankind have not been those who made donations of mere temporary benefit, but these whose gifts were far- reaching in effect and influence. This fact is strikingly illustrated in this gift of these noble people. With that clear perception and far-sightedness, characteristic of their stands a living monument to their life and memory. In this presentation they have erected a monument “more lasting than granite, more sublime than the regal elevation of pyramids, which neither the wasting shower, the unavailing north-wind, or an innumerable succession of years shall be able to demolish.” That possession which we gain by the sword is not lasting, but gratitude for benefits is eternal. Let each of us who is grateful The walls were unadorned and unattractive, no carpet, no lights, no piano, and very poor chairs. But the patriotism of the members never wavered, and be it said to their credit, all obstacles and difficulties were overcome and surmounted. Remaining cautious and bouyant upon the waves of success, our society has passed from strength to strength, and from beauty to beauty to her present proud and prosperous estate. By liberal donations and a partial sacrifice of the members’ monthly allowances, we have expended approximately $1050.00 on the general improvement of our hall. With beautiful lace curtains, a handsome carpet, a brilliant chandelier, elegant opera chairs and debating tables, a magnificent piano and handsome chairs for President and Secretary, we feel safe in saying that our hall is unexcelled by any other in the State. Nor do we claim all the honors. We are not unmindful of our Honorary Members. Words fail us and only our hearts can speak when we see the handsome curtains, pic- tures, and other ornaments with which they have so generously and judiciously adorned our hall. We are deeply indebted to them too, not only for their sympathy in every under- taking, but for their lasting influence. Gratitude is the fairest blossom which springs from the soul and the heart of man knows none more fragrant. This is an age of specialties, of organization and system. The man who succeed:, in this era is not he who knows something about everything, but he who knows everything about something. And this fact necessarily makes it an age of public speaking. Of the speaking. Labor unions, conventions and conferences necessitate public speaking—to In every profession of life we meet men of great parts that are guilty of downright bashfulness, that by a strange hesitation and reluctance to speak murder the finest and most elegant thoughts and render the most lively conceptions flat and heavy. And why is it? Because they lack early training in the art of expression. Man’s attainments at best are never perfected and certainly youth is the best time to begin. The Philennoian Society affords abundant opportunity for such schooling and development. The promotion of literary interest is our chief aim. Such will our society ever be in its idea and in its purpose. To this end we have arranged our weekly program so as to include every phase of literary work—weekly news, orations, declamations, medleys, debates and music, both instrumental and vocal. Such are the advantages of society work where, through association and the com- munication and circulation of thought by means of personal intercourse, we are enabled range and speculate, sure to find its equal in some opposing activity, and its judge in the tribunal of truth; a place where indirect inquiry is pushed forward and where error is exposed by the collision of mind with mind and knowledge with knowledge; a place where men are bound by ties of kindliress and goodwill, judging and criticising each ether impartially, giving credit to those deserving it and censure to whom censure is due____________ thus in time producing the composed scholarly, polished man. In our future efforts let us not forpet that in the very nature of things greatness can be achieved early by unity. Success implies and necessitates unity and enthusiasm. Noth- ing great was ever achieved without the combined, enthusiastic efforts of the individuals 90 ATHENAEUM SOCIETY. LINK HALL. Colors: Garnet and White. Motto: Aude Sapere. H. H. Taylor..... O. L.

The art of speaking and declaiming was not of proficiency might be reached which would forum to Reman youth of old. Rigid instruction gives the foundation for an education; the literary society hall gives opportunity to develop and exercise original thought. A emphasis can not be layed upon the merit and value of a literary society to any student, whether he anticipate the ministry, law, medicine or any other business as his profes- sion. An ability to express thought most effectively is of great importance to any man. Others besides public speakers are called upon in the various vocations of life to express their thoughts in public assemblies, and since the need of fitness is so imperative, enough can not be said of the literary society as a prime factor in developing polished manhood. Not only is the spirit of self-improvement fostered, but a fraternal spirit is born in the hall of the Athenaeum Society which time can not extinguish. As has been said of the Athenaeum Society in former articles, there is a bond of common interest established The Athenaeum Society is intensely democratic in its legislation; no spirit oi Society has won during the past year. For there is Athenaeum Society does not claim for herself any ; not ascribe to her sister society.

The Senior Class of ’05 issued the first College Calendar and the Class of ’06 made good this excellent precedent set by that class. The ’06 Calendar is neat and attractive and in every way up to the standard of those of other institutions, making a very fine souvenir for all who are interested in the institution. CHROMASCOPE. The Class of ’99 was the first class to take up the matter of issuing a college annual, calling it the “Chromascope”. Since then it has gained a permanent place among the itable annual and in many ways this is a measure of their ability and ingenuity. Though issued by the Senior Class, it is representative of the student-body as a whole. It con- and friends of the College have always shown the deepest interest in the “Chromascope.” credit to the institution and furnish pleasure and information to its friends. REVEILLE. Representing the true college spirit and intellectual interests of a student-body, stands the college paper. The “Reveille” of Austin College is such a magazine. It is gotten out by the two literary societies of the institution, each society furnishing its quota of officers chosen by election. Its various departments keep in touch with the different phases of college life. It also has an exchange department, which keeps this college in touch with other institutions by placing their magazines upon our reading table. REVEILLE STAFF. J. F.

The polls were thrown open promptly at 3:30 p. m. by Election judge Venable, and for some time con- fusion reigned supreme. Amid the babel of voices could be heard the vigorous speech of Johnson upholding Munroe as our Ananias, and Munroe returning the compliment by running Johnson for the sweetest singer, while the supporters of Gregg and “Tubby’’ Crum for the most heavily whiskered man loudly clamored for their respective favorites. When the din of battle had died away and the ballot-boxes opened, the judges found and Prof. Eagleton the oldest, with Prof. Taylor a close second. W. W. Bondurant, Mr. C. J. Hutchings, having performed faithfully the duties of his office during the past year, was easily re-elected as our most accomplished liar. Aldrich was voted the biggest bore, with John Franck cne vote behind. “Jiff” Moss is proclaimed “King Spitter.” His cabinet includes Lord Young, Baion Hardie, Earl Currie, and Sir Charles Scott. Little Shaw is the most persistent kicker, while “Big Poll” is the most graceful “tripper of the light fantastic.” Franck defeated Aldrich Moore for the cutest man. “Pythagoras” Moore won out as handsomest man, while Owen and Moss tied for second place. As ugliest man, Owen and Hutchings lied for first place, and Victor Moore, Lide, and Blanding for second. Opinions seemed to vary immensely on the last two mentioned offices. “Jiff” Moss has the biggest feet, with “Cap” Lindsey next. Prof. Harwell is authorized agent for Hinds Noble, while Munroe runs a sub-agency. Willie Lowry Matthews received a large majority for faculty pet. Chamberlain was easily elected Carr-Burdette favorite, while Dellinger was the almost unanimous choice In the race (or the sweetest singer, Hixon won out over Johnson by one vote. Gregg and Tubby Crum tied up for the most whiskers, while “Uncle Oscar Smith shaves the next oftenest. Eating and sleeping were voted the favorite pastimes. In the book line, the works of Hinds Noble seem to appeal most practically to our literary taste, while financially the pocket-book is the favorite. Tip Top and Diamond Dick had their loyal supporters, as also Ganot’s Physics, Reir.sen's Chemistry, Freytags Technique of The Drama,” “Gluck Auf,” Reden Des Lysias, Virgil, and others of their calibre. June Johnson was voted windy, Hobo” Aldrich, windier, and John Story, windiest. Earnest, Fulton, and Farmer Shaw tied for sleeping beauty, while Fatty Leroy” Wilson encountered no serious opposition as the biggest eater. Wilson is also our theatrical critic, with R. A. McCurdy, sub. Henry Young is our most confirmed ladies' man, with Dellinger, second, and Moss, third. This was a close race. In answer to the question, What do you intend to do on leaving college?,” every- thing was suggested from preaching up. The majority will bum, others intend to get married, one to run for governor; some to do this and some to do that; one is going to do everybody he can. Of course “Hobo” Aldrich is the bumiest bum. Dellinger is the worst flirt, Aldrich Moore, second; Venable, third. Our dude is Hutchings; dude- be reformed and civilized. The preps themselves undecided, but hope it will turn out all right in the end. Matthews, Lothrop, and Farmer” Shaw tie for the most diligent student, but “Farmer” leads as the laziest. Prof. Culver is our “night hawk,” while Dellinger and Hixon tie for second place. Everybody knows that Jim Hardie can tell the biggest tales, but “Hobo” ran him a close race. Matthews holds the record on his capacity for hot tamales. Lindsey cuts the most classes. Wilson is the biggest baby, but “Babe” Greaves, Robinson, and Franck also belong to the nursery. “Doc” Worthington is the most conceited man, with Dee Morrell a close second. “June” Johnson runs the book- department, but “King David” holds the reins. Don’t blame the “Chromascope” staff for the above results. The student-body voted, we counted the ballots, and attest the above to be the true returns.

High on the rocky shore, sleepily lapped by the waves of the Mediterranean, lies the historic town of Brindisi. Its minarets reach high into the clear blue of the Italian sky, and their dancing reflections cast upon the eye of the observer a delusive imagery. In striking contrast to the crystal bay, the somber tower of Terre-di-Forte lifts its triple turrets in solemn protest, the only dark stroke on the delicately painted canvas of Nature. Below upon the crowded wharves may be seen every type of humanity, from the tourist stood with the Colonel, her father, a little apart from the jostling crowd, gazing dreamily upon the panoramic vision before them; the riffled sheen of the bay, the deepening glow upon the azure of the sky, and the dark, crowding mass upon the wharves, broken by an will not be a pleasant joun y for you. Rose; yet women must be humored. For myself, I would gladly forfeit the .iip. Ah, the spectacle of a British officer leaving the service to confer with a petty consul. That bag-pipe. Rose, reminds me of the day we stormed at Tel-El-Kebir. Our advance was in echelon, and our fight good; yet we were at the point of rout, when from the rear the Scottish bag-pipe started a plaintive strain, and down upon the black heathen a brigade of Scotch Greys swept in a terrific saber His companion drew an involuntary sigh and half interruptingly asked, “Father, what are those men talking so excitedly about? What does k'lephts mean? It is the only word I can distinguish. The rush of passengers toward the incoming barge inter- rupted the conversation, and in the press her light veil was brushed from her shoulder. Before it had floated down upon the dusty wharf a passer-by rescued it, and when she lifted her eyes in thanks to the young gallant an unconcealed flush spread over her cheek It would be mockery to attempt to tell just why she blushed at so seemly slight provoca- the excitement over there?” “Do you know what the word fc ep i s means, sir?” queried Rose. An agitated flush came over the young man’s cheek and in a guarded tone he plied, “Monsieur le Colonel is wise. The word is Greek to me.” Yet to Rose neither the accent nor manner seemed that of a Frenchman A moment more and the manly form of the stranger was lost in the crowd. Kitzos was thoroughly disgusted, so much in fact that he threw a freshly-lighted cigarette over the cliff and dug the toe of his cherouki into the ground. “Tetos, I tell you we are not better than miserable dogs or Turks. Not one capture have we made in four months. And there is scarce a good watch or rifle in the band. Kariaganides left camp to-day for Salonik, but I doubt that with all his disguise and spying he can locate a man of rank in our reach. Ah! I would quit brigandage to-day if I could get a better Tetos shrugged vehemently. “A man cannot be a brigand and a lover, very con- veniently at the same time. He may be a gentleman at all times, but not a dude.” Kitzos lighted a second cigarette and resumed: “Betsos should be with us by to- night. He should have left Marseilles four days ago and should have been in Brindisi yesterday. Ah, Michael Tetos, if he can but get a reprieve. I pity him. He is the boldest pallicar in the band. Yet his is not brigandage by choice. Who would not be a bandit in preference to Palamidi with its guillotine to fall at any minute and he an innocent man! If he can get his reprieve, he will leave the band; he has told me so.” “Hist! Tetos.” and the finger of Kitzos was placed on his lip with a warning hiss. Two arms reached instinctively toward their rifles as the bushes closed behind the form of a third brigand: “No news of the gendarmes, Kariaganides?” “The Turks keep in barracks when Nikas moves; they haven’t forgotten the scent of the powder at the Saints Monastir. Listen, to-night we move. It is a Frank, and he lodges at St. Pietrieros Inn. Katina has told me so and she knows how to turn a key. 107 The dogs are growling, Tetos. It is the boys coming with the muttons, I think, but be The crackling of twigs became more and more distinct, till into the circle fifteen men filed. Each was dressed after the fashion of Greek brigands: The red fez, with its shining black tassel; the loose-fitting jacket interwoven with red and gold, bound at the waist with a bright red sash, and drawn about the body in fold after fold, until it formed a protruding bulk into which pistols and knife were thrust. Reaching below the sash, but not joining the knees by six inches, the fluffy fustaneUi, with its full forty yards of over-lapping pleats, stood out in stiff white folds. Underneath this skirt a pair of trousers reached to the knees, where they were met by decorated leather leggins flaring at the foot over stiff shoes or cherouk'w, the upturned toes of which were embossed with gay fluffs of wool. Add to this the ever-present sword, a long rifle of the most improved pattern, dark, keen eyes and black moustaches, and we have before us the brigand; not as he may appear in this group, but as he began the summer’s campaign. Fade the red to Thrace, and wear the beads and fluffy knobs from their shoes by the stones encoun- tered in their flight from the Turkish bashibazouks, and we have before us a perfect picture of Chief Nikas and his band as they gathered about their fire, preparatory to an is a clear ccnscience. So it happened that Colonel Breed and his daughter were at one ter in the adjoining room, sat late into the night, with the olive oil phutili dimly lighting the room. Indeed, this girl had many things to engross her attention. This sudden trip to Turkey was something of an adventure to her. She who had lived her young life in the mad rush of London life, was now to view the Yildiz-Kiosk at Constantinople, pass down into Greece, and revel in antiquities in spite of her father’s theory that the Par- thenon would not compare with Charing Cross, and that he had seen many a mast in Her Majesty’s navy larger than the columns of Jupiter’s temple. Yet Rose was not thinking now of the Parthenon. She sat at the table, with her chin resting upon her hand, gazing into the blackness without. Was it of Brindisi she was thinking? Not of Brindisi, but of a certain handsome form and clear-cut counten- ance that she connected with it. Why had he turned away so abruptly when asked a simple question? Surely he was not a Frenchman, even if he did shrug his shoulders slightly. No, she was only a fool, for why should she think of him whom she would lady, had at first sight, almost fallen in—her head throbbed slightly and consciousness was fast leaving her, but her brain kept repeating, “Fallen in—. yes fallen in—”, until like an echo it crept into her dream and whispered, “Fallen in love.” Rose did not know why she awoke so suddenly. She blushed deeply to think that the truth which was suppressed by her dignity while awake, had crept into her dream with its tell-tale foreboding. All her dizzy thoughts were interrupted by deep, guarded voices in the adjoining room of her father. A clicking she remembered to have heard at the Grand Plaza when the Queen’s troops were at drill, and again there was the silence of death. A single must prepare to follow our captors, for we are prisoners. Ah! the spectacle of a Brit- handcuffing. A tall form in brigand attire placed his right hand upon his lips with a warning hiss while the other played on his heavy sword hilt. She was then helped to her seat in the rough, rope-stirruped samari, and noiselessly as the death-angel the pro- and upward, over crag and around dizzy precipice. On boldly past Chaous Monastery, circling well around Vitolia where Turkish troops sometimes slept, the band proceeded in its silent swiftness, until at last when the first gray streaks of morn crowned the ragged crest of distant Olympus, a halt was called and the prisoners conducted to a small two-roomed hut. While Nikas and his strange cortege was wending its silent way up that steep ascent, the form of a man could be distinguished in the pale light, passing from the docks “I was thinking of Palamidi,” the wily Greek lied. Tito 1 f i, -It is Greek to me.' ” The Greek rose hr while I : ehfmfi n ini , [i Did the hand of his fiancee and resumed their way to their mountain home, passing by the bai racks in order to taunt the soldiers. Ii anyone doubts the truth of this story, he should have seen the writer as he kissed writer was a member of the band, and many a night have they sat by the fire, lonesome Christos Arvanitaki. 116 W.

Funds held in trust for widows and orphans, funds which represent the hard earnings of thousands of small policy-holders, have been lavishly wasted in enormous salaries, private dissipation, and personal speculation in the uncertainties of Wall Street. To prevent the passage of laws unfavorable to the perpetuation of their nefarious practices, enormous sums have found their way into the pockets of such men as Judge Hamilton and Senator Depew. Thus the policy-holders’ money has been used to destroy the very safe-guards set for their protection. But the proverbial “last straw” was added to the burden of the people’s wrath by the disclosure that to protect themselves against a change of administration and the perilous investigations which might result, large sums from Democrats as well as Republicans. Thus the money of Democrats has been used to accomplish their own defeat. If the insurance companies are allowed to contribute best conserve their interests. What is the result of these exposures? The public has taken out of the hands of the gamblers of Wall Street; that the hard earned money of the masses be no longer used to advance the interests of corrupt political machines and to de- Another abode of moral blackness in the business world is that greatest of Ameri- can industries, the railroad. The rebate, the private car, and discrimination against localities are the germs out of which have sprung those trusts of mushroom growth that have built up the colossal fortunes of the Armours and the Rockefellers. Now the granting of rebates is a direct violation of the law. But the railway king says to his traffic manager, “Your position depends upon your ability to get business. Therefore, get business!” The employer cares for nothing but results, hence the traffic manager discriminates in favor of the corporation which will give him the best patronage, grants secret rebates to the favored shipper, uses any means to secure business, while the lords of the rail laugh at the law, and insist under oath, in open court, that they have never granted a rebate nor cut a rate. Thus do the captains of industry deny to the suf- fering public the right to the “square deal”; equal rights to all and special privileges to none. But the president and the people are forcing Congress to investigate the railroad question; and, if the railroad senators do not succeed in blocking all effective legislation, some of the most glaring evils of the present system may be corrected before the ad- journment of the Fifty-ninth Congress. Turning from the empire of business, let us enter the field of political activity, the paradise of the plunderer. Let us follow the foul trail of graft through city, state, and In cleansing the governments of our great cities the awakening of public conscience has done its most effective work. Folk in St. Louis, Jerome in New York, Weaver in Philadelphia have raised the standard of civic righteousness, and the people have gladly rallied to their support and dealt a crushing blow to boss rule and machine rule. When the machine made Joseph W. Folk circuit attorney, a more corrupt city than St. Louis was scarcely to be found. It was the haven of the boodler, the cradle of graft. But Folk, believing that it really pays to be honest, at once declared war upon the forces of graft and corruption; and in three years put eight boodlers behind the bars, forced other leading citizens to migrate to Europe and Mexico, and released the city from to the State the campaign for pure government. In New York City, District Attorney Jerome, by four years of fearless crusade Jerome, scorning the nomination of any political machine, and defying the bosses to their faces, placed his record before the people, and appealed to them to uphold him in his campaign against graft. The people answered this appeal by triumphantly re- But the most significant of the recent municipal upheavals was the awakening of the Quaker City; significant, because in this city no one man’s influence or personality was responsible for the reform. It was the people and the people’s conscience that was stirred. Philadelphia, corrupt and contented, had under the infamous Quay Ring and that wcrthy successor, the unspeakable Boss Durham, sunk to a state of municipal rottenness, compared with which New York, in her darkest days of slavery to Bess I weed, was an oasis of virtue in a desert of corruption. Election returns were padded and the ballot-box stuffed seemingly out of rr.eie repulsion to an honest election. Valu- verge of granting a gas franchise for a mere fraction of its real value. Then, in a single week, the city awoke. Philadelphia issued a new Declaration of Independence. Mayor Weaver vetoed the Gas Steal Bill, the people ostracised the councilmen who had voted for it, so the council dared not pass it. The Mayor, supported by the citizens’ committee, threw off the yoke of the bosses, and thoroughly reorganized the Not only in our municipalities, but in national government as well, does the serpent of graft dare to raise its head. Unmistakable foot-prints of the forces of corruption are evident even upon the floors of Congress. Time was when the American Congress was composed of statesmen, men who held patriotism above party, public weal above private railroads and the trusts. Else, why is it that the railroad trust, the beef trust, and our ness liberty, while Congress is the graveyard of every bill which purposes to correct their evils? Within the last ten years, five senators have been indicted for crimes committed for the sake of money. Most of them were convicted by the courts, yet they were never called to answer at the bar of the Senate. Our Mitchells and Burtons are not all exposed yet. While we are cleaning the Augean stables of Congress, let us heed the demands of public opinion and rid the Senate of our Platts and Depews. As long as the pockets of the legislator are filled with the passes of the railway magnate, we may expect that the interests of the railroads will be more zealously guarded than the interests of the public. The insidious influence of the railroad pass is generally under- estimated. It seems insignificant, it operates noiselessly, but its work is deadly, and nothing has done more to poison the very fountains of political purity than this inno- cent “courtesy.” So utterly servile to greed have our legislators become, that the House of Representatives of the Fifty-eighth Congress actually passed a bill, fortunately killed in the Senate, appropriating to themselves one hundred and ninety thousand dollars for railicad expenses to and from their homes during the recess between the first and second sessions; a recess which was entirely imaginary, lasting only between the rising and fall- ing of the gavel in the hands of the Speaker. What more striking instance of the moral turpitude of our misrepresentatives in Congress could be given? faith in our national integrity and strength. But what is to be done? That is the ques- tion. First, let us know the worst. Publicity is a primary necessity. Our country is receive from us every encouragement in their efforts to make them speak. Present the issue fairly and justly before the great middle class of the country, convince them and the result will ever be an awakening of public conscience and a revival of civic righteousness. The grafter and the kings of finance may laugh at the law; they may purchase legislation and buy votes; but they dare not defy the power of public opinion. Yet do not think that the uncovering of corruption and the unmasking of moral degradation is all that is demanded. The grafter has not reformed. He has merely been run to cover, and is serenely waiting till the clouds roll by. When popular in- dignation has subsided, he will reappear if we forget that “eternal vigilance is the price of liberty.” We must cultivate the habit of civic righteousness and civic earnestness. Sudden flurries of patriotism will not suffice. Spasmodic interest in politics only excites Again, we must come to regard the ballot not merely as a right but as a respcn ity. If it is only a personal right, the bartei of ballets is no crime. We may fore right, but not a trust. Indifference to the responsibilitv of franchise, born of the cc ition of the ballot by the boss and the machine, forms one cf the gravest perils whi re of political corruption has no right to decry the prevalence of graft. The ballot God give us men! A time like this demands A FRESHMAN’S SOLILOQUY. And§oh! how glad he’ll be I’ll tell him that I’m busted And need a little dough To keep from getting in the hole. Things take my money so. I’ll tell him how they treat rr.e Here in this heathen place; They call me measly Fresh.” They have a solemn court here: Its prosecuting lawyer Wins all his cases too. There’s just one thing about it They always have a charge Against every man on hand. I went around the other night Just to find out what they did. That lawyer charged m He then explained that the heinous crime Was signing the college book. 1 ou’d have thought that it was murder From the graveness of his look. I he Judge pronounced my sentence. ’ 1 was twenty, good and stout. And then he made ir.e sing a song It must have been a right smart fun. The way those fellows laughed. It seemed the other way to me. But maybe I was daft. He teaches Latin and French. But this is one thing that he said. Since t’-.en I Ye walked everywhere I ’ They say that college life is great But lots of things are hard to learn As through this world we go. Just think of four long years of this! Perhaps it will be five. And I will be much harder worked But then I guess I ’ll stick it out. As some before have done. You always hear old students say That they had lots of fun.
