Splendid as it is. it serves but as a corner-stone in the future Austin College which his eye can see. The building is of concrete that will bravely weather the years, and is constructed along most beautiful architectural lines. The interior is most pleasing to the eyes. The walls are plastered throughout, being done in a soft brown with the woodwork a darker brown. There is every modern convenience and the building is heated by its own furnace. The management this year has been excellent. Messrs. John Alexander and John Hardy have kept everything in good running order and provided sufficient to eat to satisfy all. Luckett Hall! It has been a pleasant place to make a nine months’ home. It has housed us through the best part of our youth; it has been the shrine of our winged ambition, our freest hopes, our abiding friendships. When we look back through the mists of memory in the untried years, not one can fail to be stirred with emotion, as he sees the long straight lines of beauty and strength outlining the build- ing in the moonlight, and the long rows of windows jeweled with lights, and feels the living presence of those who dwelt with him in Luckett Hall. 25 Hesperon Class of 1911 Motto Ceiitah Pete Fine m Pink Carnation Officers J.

For instance ’ ' theory which he can propound and support with all kinds oi strict Aristotelian logic and which is none other than this: “If a man gets two hundred miles off from the earth out in space when he comes back down he will miss the earth.” No one ought to know the faults of science as it exists today better than Jack as he has made very intricate and taking researches in same.

The days have been brighter for us because you were alive. You have filled a place in our hearts which had been a blank without you, and thus have established a dear relationship with us which time can never end. For all that you have been to us, for all that you have done for us, and all that you have made us be, thanks are vain. We give you love. The pleasant days around your fires and in your hospitable homes are treasures put away in memory’s chest, to be taken out and looked at in the after years. Your faces are enshrined in our hearts and, though the parting time has come, we shall not fail hereafter to keep the fires burning before them. To all good fortune we commend you. That odors of flowers may sweeten your way, and life ever make music for you, is the sincere wish of your brothers. —HOWARD DWIGHT SMILEY. 57 59 oc FAVORITES oc: 30 30 65 67 68 69 70 71 She was sitting there beside me. As I sang to her my love. And she could not there deride me While we gazed the skies above, And I sang to her the old songs. In the night where naught could mar. And I told her all my heart-aches With the strains of my guitar. 72 Never was the clover sweeter, Never was the moon so fair, Never breezes blew so lightly, Never night so free from care, In the magic moonlit silence As we searched our guiding star, For her heart was strangely melted By my passionate guitar. And in spirit oft I wander To the lake I loved to see, In the moonlight soft I ponder On the things that are to be; But the mem’ry never leaves me Of the pleasures gone so far, Of the sweetness still that grieves me When I touch my fond guitar. —ILON BRETHREN.

Mrs. Delaney is the friend of us all, and Margaret “loves all the boys.” We can never forget the sympathy and help Mrs. Delaney has always had ready for us, nor will the memory of the hours we have spent in her pleasant sitting room soon fade from our minds.

The Honor System THIS year has been one of advances in almost.all lines of the College life. By no means the least important of these forward steps was the adoption of the Honor System. The need of this system has long been felt, and it has, before this year, been agitated, but no definite movement toward its adoption had been made. At the beginning of this year, however, Dr. Clyce discussed the question with each of his classes and caused the matter to come into general discussion about the College. As a result, the Senior Class, in regular meeting, took up the question and, after some discussion, appointed Messrs. Storey and Anderson as a committee to investigate, draw up a plan and report. This plan was reported to the faculty, and, after a few changes, was ap- proved. A meeting of the Student Body was held, and the plan presented by the committee. After several speeches and expressions of opinion, the roll was called and the plan adopted with scarcely a dissenting voice. We are proud that Austin College has finally taken the step that she has been delaying; we are glad, she has shown her mettle, and has adopted the Honor System. We leave the system as a legacy to the students of the years to come. Guard it well! Keep it high on its pedestal of worth, above the smirky mire of dishonorable thought or conduct, and always you will look back to your College life with pride, and say it was clean, manly and honorable. 103 Kangaroo Court Motto Colors Officer His Honor......................

Adamson has been on the team for two years. Last year he played half, but was shifted to tackle this year. He showed brilliant form in the S. W. U. game. Adamson is an aggressive and gritty player. We are going to count on him for next year. TOM MOORE (Capt.). Right Halfback. Height 5 ft. 9£ in. Weight 140. Age 20. Games played 9. Sub-Freshman Class. “Choc” was a popular captain. His speed and determination made him the idol of his team. He was the star of the Southwestern game; his 90- yard run for a touchdown was the sensation of the season. Moore will be back next year and will be the Captain of the 1911 team. 119 J. H. GILLESPIE. Left Half. Height 5 ft. 81 inches. Weight 150. Age 20. Number games played 9. Senior class. Second year on team. Was a star at end last year, but was shifted to the backfield this year. “Razor” is “speedy,” “gritty” and “heady.” Was a mainstay to the team—always on the alert for fumbles, and a good ground gainer on the forward pass. B. F. BROWN. Left End. Height 5 ft. 11 in. Weight 170. Age 17. Games played 7. Freshman Class. “Bap’s” regular position was left end; here he was strong on smashing interference. But his strongest point was plunging the line. One of the safest plays we had was to call “Bap” to left half and buck him over right tackle. This play gained us many yards. This is Brown’s first year in college football, and we expect him to be one of the mainstays of the team next year. 120 C. C. MASON. Left Guard and Left Tackle. Height 6 ft. Weight 195. Age 23. Number games played 9. Junior Class. Third year on team. “Big-un” was a tower of strength to the line. Especially strong on blocking punts and opening up the line for the backs. The opponent coming through his side of the line was always stopped. Will be a valuable man for next year’s team, and we feel sure he will not on- ly keep his present record, but make even a better one. JOHN H. LORETZ. Right End. Height 5 ft. 11 in. Weight 150. Age 18. Games played 7. Freshman Class. This is Loretz’s first year on the team. In the S. W. U. game his work was especially good. In the Thanks- giving game he was easily the star, very few gains being made ar.ound his end. It is rumored that Loretz is a baseball player and he will probably make some one hustle this year. 121 R. D. MORRELL. Halfback and Tackle. Height 5 ft. 1(H in. Weight 170. Age 21. Games played 6. Junior Class. “R. D.” won his “A” last year and was one of the first men to show up for practice this fall. On account of his speed he was often used at half- back, though he proved a good line- man. He showed good form in the Southwestern game. D. H. MEBANE. Guard. Height 6 ft. 2 inches. Weight 180. Age 23. Games played 9. Senior class. This is Mebane’s fourth year on the team. He worked in all the games this year and showed a “gritty” and determined spirit. We always counted on him making a hole in the opposing line. He has had some of the best linemen in the south against him this year. 122 HORACE H. NEILSON. Fullback. Height 5 ft. 10 inches. Weight 168. Age 19. Games played 9. Horace was on the squad last year, but failed to make his “A.” He is good on defense, also an excellent line plun- ger; one of the fastest men in the back field. He made the winning touchdown in the Polytechnic game. C. C. PRUDE. Center. Height 5 ft. 8 in. Weight 156. Age 17. Games played 3. Freshman class. This is the first year in football for Prude. He was in the game from the start—a terror on the defense. Though light in weight, he was a ram. Prude is a “cow puncher” with lots of nerve. 123 R. D. RICHARDS. Quarterback. Height 5 ft. 8 inches. Weight 130. Age 18. Games played 7. Freshman class. This was “Chili’s” first year on the College eleven. He was very light, but made up for that in aggressive- ness and nerve. He was a drop- kicker of no mean ability. A steady and reliable man who knew how to run a team. You will hear more of “Chili” next year. G. B. PURCELL. Center. Height 5 ft. 10£ inches. Weight 172. Age 20. Number games played 9. Sophomore class. “Pernut” never saw a football un- til he arrived at A. C. For a first year man he showed great form, and we are expecting much from him in the next two years. Always sure with his passes; strong on defensive work, especially in Southwestern game, get- ting more tackles in this game than any other man in the line. He will be back next year, and if he keeps up his present gait, will be a terror for the man against him. 124 D. B. TIPTON. Right Tackle. Height 6 ft. Weight 194. Age 19. Sub-Freshman class. Number games played 9. Member of the ’08 team, and after having been out one year, he came back stronger than ever. “Tubby” was a fierce tackier, always on the aggress- ive. Absolutely reliable, both on of- fensive and defensive. Scored the on- ly touchdown against A. M. by get- ting a fumble. He was strong on blocking punts. He will be back next year, and we are expecting him to “tear up things.” C. T. WHARTON. Quarter. Height 5 ft. 9 inches. Weight 135. Age 20. Games played 5. Senior class. Though handicaped by light weight, Wharton had more nerve and grit than any other man on the team. He handled his team like a veteran; showed brilliant form in the first Trinity game. 125 J. BURTON RIX. Football Coach. Mr. Rix is a graduate of Dart- mouth. He came to us two years ago with several years’ experience as a coach in Texas. Each year he has put out a fast, aggressive team. This year only six of the old team reported for practice, but with these men as a foundation, he soon built up a team which showed up well against the other teams of the State. J. P. WILSON. Manager of Football Team. Mr. Wilson’s ability as a business man has been shown by the clever, satisfactory and businesslike way in which he managed the affairs of the Football Team of 1910. 126 1911 128 Baseball Team 1910 Baseball Season of 1910 THE Baseball Team ol 1910 made a remarkable record and will long be remembered for its heavy hitters and for the fast, clean baseball which they played throughout the season. We were short on pitchers but nevertheless the team made a good showing among the college teams of Texas. Several of the team played high- class baseball with the minor leagues of the State during the summer. Most of the men will be back to work-out for the 1911 Team. The record of games is as follows: Baseball Squad 1911 Baseball Season olE 1911 Track Team IN the Spring of 1910 A. C. made her debut in track work. We en- tered into this department of Athletics, not because we expected to carry off the state-meet the first year, or even the second— but because we believed that many men would be benefitted by track athletics who took no part in football or baseball; and because we be- lieved we had the material for the beginning of what would, in the future, bring additional athletic honors to our college. In baseball, and especially in revised football, speed is one of the primary requisites for the man who would hope to be a member of the team. Track men have an excellent opportunity to develop this speed and also endurance; thus track work does not oppose other branches of athletics but rather acts as a feeder to them. We were fortunate in having for our coach Mr. J. Burton Rix, formerly of Dartmouth. He is an experienced man and any success which we may have attained was largely due to his efficient work. During the season we entered into two meets: a dual meet with Polytechnic College of Fort Worth, which we won; and the meet of the Texas Intercollegiate Athletic Association which was held on our grounds. In this we made a very creditable showing, considering that it was our first year. We developed no abundance of first-class men, but a few who were especially good. Clyde Eagleton won the mile in the state- meet, making record time. B. Smith was our best all around man. “Choc” Moore was strong on the dashes and the quarter. We have nearly all of the old men back this year and a large squad of new material. Much interest is being taken, as is shown by the large number out every evening in their “full dress” attire. The manager is arranging a number of meets for this spring and we may reasonably hope to make a good record. CLYDE EAGLETON The inter collegiate record was broken when Eagleton ran the mile in 4.59 3 5 last year at the State Track meet. He was also winner of the five mile cross- country run. Clyde is light in weight, but makes up for it in endurance. He always keeps in training, and we expect to hear from him again as a record breaker. Awarded College “A”, 1910. dr. e. g.

THi3 season’s work showed a marked improvement over that of last year. A great deal of interest was aroused and a large squad turned out for practice. We were able to secure but a few games but the team showed up well in all the games played. There is some excellent material on hand and we should put out a winning team next season.

Basket Ball Squad The Austin College Tennis Club INTEREST in Tennis has experienced a wonderful revival this year. The crowded court every afternoon, the long rows of those waiting for their turn, the roll of over fifty members in the old club, and the organization of a new tennis club, all bespeak the demand for one or more new tennis courts as the most urgent ath- letic need of Austin College.

STOREY The Preliminary Oratorical Contest THE Preliminary Oiaiorical Contest between the Athenaeum and Philennoian Literary Societies is held each year to determine the speaker who shall represent Austin College in the State Intercolle- giate Oratorical Contest. The best two platform men of each society usually participate in this event. The contest of February 28, 1911, was a remarkably interesting one. Each speaker had a well prepared message, and each oration was delivered in an effective manner. Each contestant was strong in the race. It has been generally pronounced the best oratorical contest ever heard in Austin College. The first place was awarded to Mr. C. H. Storey, Philennoian, who will deliver his winning oration, “The Seriousness of Modernism,” at the State Contest, to be held in Ft. Worth, April 21. Mr. J. S. Sleeper, Athenae- um, won a close second by his forceful delivery of a masterly ora- tion on “The Menace of Militarism.” The other speakers, with their orations, were: Mr. Wm. M. Anderson, Jr., Philennoian, “Home the Moulding Place of Character,” and Mr. A. T. Stewart, Athenaeum, “The Basis of Reform.” 160 The Seriousness of Modernism City Views of Sherman r 0 ncx I20H� K-S 03l0 The Glee Club R. F. Gribble R. F. Cleveland W. F. McElroy G. T.

But this year we found the necessary genius in the person of Mr. Arthur G. Hopkins, who set out to establish a paper. With the aid of several men who were to assist in the work of editing, he or- ganized the staff and began “The Austinian”, a weekly publication. The paper has been open to the students and has received many contributions from them. It has filled a deeply felt need and has filled it well. The student body has shown its appreciation by subscriptions and literary contributions. The Editorial Staff deserves commendation for the good work they have done and congratulations on the results. The Business Manager especially should be praised for his initiative, his ability in soliciting ads and in managing the paper well, We hope “The Austinian” has come to stay. We leave it with wishes for its lasting success. 186 The Austinian VOL. I. FRIDAY, OCTOBER 21. The Austinian Some Darker Features of A. C. THAT MADE THU WORM POiilBLE.
