What has been attempted is an appreciation of the traditions and ideals that inspired her founders, and which, growing through the years, have ever since animated Austin College- faculties and students. It is an effort to summarize these outstanding factors which have Austin College history divides itself naturally into three large periods: the first, the pe- riod of infanev, from the founding of the institution in 1849 until the removal to Sherman in 1876; the second, the period of establishment, extending from 1876 through the adminis- tration of Dr. Sampson; the third, the modern era or period of enlargement, covering the administration of Dr. Clyce, from 1900 ending with the Diamond Jubilee in 1924.

With a depth of wisdom and insight that was te conclusion that, in this rushing country of the West, convictions, he had his zealous co-laborers set themselves about the task of founding an insti- tution of higher learning. An educational campaign was begun and public sentiment aroused in favor of the movement. On October 13, 1849, at Prospect Church the committee of which he was chairman reported to the Brazes Presbytery their choice of a location, and there the charter was drawn up which with few changes is operative today. By the close of the decade they had the charter grant, the building at Huntsville and the faculty ready for the opening of the first Presbyterian college in the Southwest, and the oldest college chartered in Texas operating under the original charter. ‘L-fcollege to be established in or near the town of Huntsville in Walker County, to be corporatcd under the name of Austin College.” A noteworthy clause is that which says— religious test shall be required of any President, professor or tutor, nor shall any stu, or officer be censured, suspended or expelled on account of his opinions, political or (r : cy w (hromascope- n) z cj ie (HROMASCOPE- z THE EVOLUTION OF A COLLEGE giouy.

The situation was indeed trying—the destruction of many valuable books and records as well as the loss of the building to which a new addition had just been finished, the scaffolding not yet torn down. But the students were loyal and under unusual circumstances lessons were conducted and the session continued. The citizens of Sherman at once rallied to the support of the college, and to help repair the loss sustained, raised a fund for a library and auditorium, and Sher- man Hall was the resulting building, dedicated in 1915.

There shall be no initiation into this association. The faculty of Austin College, in whcm the ultimate and absolute author- ity is lodged, hereby delegates to an Executive Committee of the Student Association of Austin College for the purpose of self-government certain powers with their corresponding obli- gations, which are herein specified and defined. ARTICLE I The government of the Student Body shall be vested in an Executive Committee of ten, which shall be chosen thus: one male member shall be elected by the male members of the Freshman class in the fall of each year; two male members shall be elected by the Somphomore class, three by the Junior class, and three by the Senior class; the President of this Executive Committee and of the Student Association which it governs shall be elected by secret ballot of the male members of the student body from among the male members of the Senior class. This President and the members of the Committee from the three highest classes shall be elected for a term of one year and shall be chosen during the month of May of each year. ARTICLE II The Executive Committee shall take cognizance of all cases of cheating or other dishon- orable conduct in class rooms or on examinations and any student found guilty shall be pun- ished according to the sentence of the Committee. ARTICLE III The Executive Committee shall adjudicate all cases involving stealing. Any one found guilty of taking that which belongs to another, or'who is an accessory before or after the fact, shall be punished according to the sentence of the Committee. ARTICLE IV The Executive Committee shall adjudicate all cases involving gambling in any form in any building of the College or upon the campus. ARTICLE V The Executive Committee shall adjudicate the case of any student charged with bringing intoxicating liquors upon the campus, or being himself intoxicated to the point of disturbing others, or of having intoxicating liquors in his possession upon the campus.

With this new element in the student body came the need of a new governing body and so the Girls’ Council was organized the nineteenth of the following January. The primary purpose of the Council is to bind the women of Austin College together for the purpose of self-government, and we have, by a few gradual changes, evolved a splen- did form of government, valuable not only as the means of solving problems relating to student life but also fitting us to be better citizens after college days are finished. There is also a social side to the Council. Soon after the opening of each session, we give a reception for the new girls so they will feel at home with us. Other events throughout the year are celebrated as we think fitting, and the Council picnic in the spring is an estab- lished custom. We, the members of the Council, have always tried in every way possible to show our loyalty to the Institution and the high ideals for which she has stood so long, and to cooper- ate with other organizations in any undertaking for the advancement of Austin College. Surely the original fifteen members must be happy to observe the fulfillment of the dreams they wove about the infant Council not much more than five years ago. It is our sincere wish that the coming years may bring even greater progress.

Orbia Blanton “The object of the Scholarship Societies of Texas shall be to promote scholarship among undergraduate students in the academic division in Texas Colleges.”—so reads Article I of the constitution of the Scholarship Societies. Dr. S. R. Gammon was appointed to sup- ervise the institution of a branch of that organization in Austin College, and the local chap- ter had its incipiency in an organization meeting on December 6, 1923. Membership is honorary based on scholarship. To an institution of this kind, a society for the recognition and promulgation of knowl- edge should be welcomed, for the inspiration it may impart, and for the higher standard it encourages. There are many activities held in close relation to the modern college curriculum, but there is in no instance a more pressing need for real thought, time and atten- tion for seeking after the truth than in the case of scholarly achievement. When as scho- lars we come to the realization of how little we do know, and the true force of our ignorance appals us, then is real scholarship born in us. There are now twelve charter societies organized, representing leading Texas institutions, and actively participating in the affairs of the state association. The first state meeting was held in 1922 at Southwestern University, and the second in 1922 at the University of Texas. The third meeting was at Baylor University, February 22, 1924, at which time Prof. T. J. Leslie and J. M. Hardy were our representatives. ‘49 24 IL : crf e (hrOMASCOPE- ‘24- : cy w (hromascope- 7 PHILENNOIAN LITERARY SOCIETY N. SHAW C. A. TUCKER O. BLANTON R. A. PARTLOW COLORS: Black and Gold MOTTO: Sine timore, sine culpa. “The inner world where we live with our dreams is hid to those without; they know us by our fruits, not else how.” The history of the Philonnoian Literary Society in Austin College must be mainly a record of achievement, ignoring many of the progresses of develop- ment which led to the glorious results. For many years this organization has sent out from its society halls men well prepared to take their places in the various walks of life. For the society life teaches that there are many kinds of wealth in the world—the wealth of ideas, of knowledge, of loyalty, of fidelity, of fellowship, of readiness to be put in any place and used in any way for the general good. In looking back over the past history of this society there are many representatives that stand prominently in the public eye. It is a pride to know that such names as Dr. Vinson, ex-president, University of Texas; Rev. Motte Martin, a missionary of Africa, and many others equally as great once graced its member roll. Through the diligent efforts of the society the tree of victory has blossomed and bloomed many times. The first Texas State Oratorical Contest for Austin College was won by a Philennoian in 1908. The years since 1915-16 have especially been filled with the fruits of many victories. The glory of the society does not wholly lie in the past for the members of today have caught the true gleam of their motto—“Sine timore, sine culpa”—and will ever carry the Black and Gold to victory. ‘49 24 (L v CJ lC (hromascope SOLOMON STOVALL COOKSEY NEWMAN VEAZEY BLANTON PARTLOW TEMPLE FINCHER McCUTCHAN BRADLEY HURST TUCKER HARLING SCOTT 7?

Hill Colors: Garnet and White Motto: Aude Safere The Athenaeum Literary Society started off this year at the very opening of school with more interest and enthusiasm than has been manifested in several years. They did not wait, however, for school to open to make their plans for the year, they worked all during the summer for the coming year. All this planning was not in vain either, for the Society accomplished many noteworthy things this year. It would be . useless to try to enumerate all these marks of success but the most out- standing thing was to create a deeper interest for literary work in the school. There is no limit to the training this Society has given its members during the year. Parliamentary Laws and Society Rules have been strictly adhered to and if the Society has done nothing more than to train the members along these lines, it has not wasted its efforts and time. The past two years have been very fruitful for the Athenaeums. Until the time of writing the Philennoians have succeeded in winning one out of five contests in the past two years. An Athenaeum will represent the College in the State contest this year, also an Athenaeum will go to this contest as substitute and business manager. The Sponsors, Misses Elizabeth Eagleton and Bessie Grace Cunningham pledged their full support to the Society and furthermore entertained the Society on one eventful even- ing with a luncheon.

Dial Seme years ago the students of Austin College who were residents of Sherman felt the need of some organization whereby a clcser connection could be had between the public schools of Sherman and Aust'n College, and between Austin College and the people of Sherman. This organization, known as the Sherman Club of Austin College, proved popu- lar frem the first, and each succeeding year has found its membership increasing. Thar its operation has been effective is evidenced by the increasingly large number of Sherman students who enter Austin College at each succeeding session. The purposes of the Club are manifold. In addition to uniting the public and the col- lege, it has always engaged in some outstanding, useful service, and has aided materially in the management of various campaigns. The loyalty of the Club cannot be questioned, and we who compose its membership feel that our part in the success of the Diamond Jubilee year of our Alma Mater has been no inconsiderable one. v CJ lC (hromascope V C = - ■ 49- '-‘24— — £3 z cj ie (HROMASCOPE- z AUSTIN COLLEGE Y.

Bondurant At the beginning cf the year, 1923, the Strollers met to make definite plans for the ensuing year. The previous year there were many interesting and worthwhile feats accom- plished by the Strollers and it was considered advisable for them to reorganize for another The general object and purpose of the Strollers, however, was changed to some extent frem what it was last year (1922-’23) when first organized. Instead of having it an organ- ization to promote interest among the students for debating, orating, and for taking more in- terest in art and literature as a whole, they centered the general work of it around dramatics. Professor Francis Emerson was chosen as the director and it has been through his efforts that the Strollers have done the effective work that they have accomplished. During the year the Strollers presented that very delightful comedy, “Green Stockings” by A. E. W. Mason. Their part in the Diamond Jubilee commencement entertainment was to present a Shakes- pearean play. The club had quite an increase in members during the year, and the members all proved to be valuable in their dramatic abilities. The Strollers have proved a valuable asset to the college and because of this the present members hope it will be a leng-lived club in Aus- tin College. : cy w (hromascope- (L : cy w (hromascope- WEST TEXAS CLUB ‘24- v CJ lC (hromascope V DEMOLAY BLOUNT WILLIAMS McCARLEY HURST KERBOW CARRAWAY FOWLER FRENCH TURNER BRADLEY WHORTON COOKSEY REDFEARN (L v CJ lC (hromascope V BUSINESS ADMINISTRATION STUDENTS HARRIS CRAWFORD COALE TAYLOR REDFEARN GOLIGHTLY MOORE TORRES WHORTON JOHNSTON HALLAM ALBRIGHT HUNTER Cj tc (hromascope- V GLEE CLUB McMAHAN GRIFFIN SCOTT COALE SPARKS GREENUP SCOTT HURST VARNELL WOMMACK HALL SHAW BAILEY VEAZEY HARLING (L v CJ lC (hromascope V CHORAL CLUB v CJ lC (hromascope V AUSTIN COLLEGE BAND SEATON LICHTFOOT, Director PHILLIPS HEARNE GALLAHER WOMMACK BOWEN SCOTT PATTERSON FINCHER (L v CJ lC (hromascope V CAMPUS CLUB ‘49 (L C = - ■ 49- '- 24— — £3 PUBLICATIONS v noNDL'RANT ‘24- 3 (L CJAe (HROMASCOPE- r THE KANGAROO a-SSHvss fflSIS THE KANGAROO ■pS ISEs s i ‘£rj£S Subsntplinn V,. lirJsisPs SUS £.=i:,2 iflMIP - ™ °T D,ED u .g“rr J SS SSS2.-J5 TJL% Ea S[ld„;“ 7„o Iffll Si Si -: |gf£|giS a?

For two years the impractical feature of this location was the openness of the field. Through the generosity of our faithful and loyal alumnus, Mr. H. H. Thompson of Houston, two car loads of lumber were secured for the erection of a fence and seats. Several other friends made helpful contributions with the result that long before the vacation days had closed, a fence three hundred and thirty by four hundred and eighty feet, ten feet high, en- closed one of the best fields in the T. I. A. A.; with a seating capacity of three thousand. Miller, Hill, Saxon, Allred, and Rogers, the crew, were both faithful and enthusiastic in their work and set about immediately, after finishing the fence, to build a club house. Before the practice opened they had completed a house sixteen by forty feet with shower baths, hot water, heat, and lights. This house is not only ample for a dressing room, but is also used for skull practice and the general schooling in athletics. When every one else said that it was impossible to finance the building of this athletic park, there was one man who had a vision of an athletic field for Austin College. His vision was so clear that he said it could be done. He set about raising money, he begged, bor- rowed, and almost stole, but by his untiring efforts and ability as a business man, we, today, have the park. It vas with the unanimous vote of the student body that wc call it Cashion Field. It is with pride and gratitude to a true friend and perfect gentleman that we write CASHION FIELD. v P. W. CAWTHON Head Coach When Cawthon was elected head coach no one realized what a great step was taken to- ward putting Austin College on the map in athletics. He has meant more to athletics in Aus- tin College than possibly all other factors combined. Coach came to us from Terrill Prep, where he has a coaching record of having won 13 out of 16 games. He has also coached at Rice, Beaumont High, and Southwestern Univer- sity. While in school at Southwestern, Coach made four football letters. With Mr. Cawthon’s record, coaching experience, and ability to lead his men, coupled with his love for clean athletics, it is no wonder that he produced a T. I. A. A. championship team the first year he was with us. Whether winning or losing Coach’s men must play the game fairly for he stands for “Sportmanship—Then Victory.” Coach has won the friendship, respect, and admiration of us all and we are glad that he will be with us two more years at least. ‘49 24 IL v CJ lC (hromascope V R. G. HIGGINBOTHAM Assistant Coach Roswell Higginbotham, the famous “Little Hig,” who for four years thrilled the grid- iron enthusiasts of all Texas, while a cadet at A. M., being three times elected All- Southwestern back, contributed much to the success of the 1923 eleven. The principle ser- vice he rendered was in developing efficient punters. Besides this he wised the back field men up in art of blocking. He had been one of the greatest defensive backs in the history of Texas football, so this was very easy for him to do. Hig. also did some scouting which proved to be of benefit to the club. In addition to his services as a football coach, Higginbotham will have charge of the 1924 baseball club. He is well qualified for this job as he has had quite a bit of experience both in college and professional baseball. He was one of the best infielders that A. M. has ever had and later was a member of the Paris club, the winners of the T. and O. League title. ‘49 24 IL : CJ te (HROMASCOPE- 7? Right Guard. Wt. 148; Ht. 5 ft.-10 J. O. MORGAN Captain Right Tackle. Wt. 187; Ht. 5 ft.-ll. Dell proved himself a very able leader for the Kangaroos. He is a good offensive as well as a defensive man. He is a whirlwind at diagnosing and breaking up plays. He was unanimously chosen all T. I. A. A. tackle. Dell has one year left and will surely rank with the best tackles in the state next year. C. D. POE Captain-elcct Poe played his third year with the Kanga- roos and for the third time was chosen all T. I. A. A. guard. Poe was injured the first part of the season and played several games with practically one hand. . He shows great ability to use his hands in charging and is a known fighter. He is sure to make the Kangaroos a good leader next year. TEXAS GAME On September 28 the Kangaroos were met and conquered by the Texas Longhorns at Clark field. The day was very hot and time was called out often and many substitutions were made, especially by Texas. The Kangaroos had not been in training long when they met the Longhorns but they put up a good fight. In the first quarter Tynes, captain of the Longhorns, made a touchdown. In the second quarter the Longhorns made two touchdowns and a field goal. The Kangaroos kept them bull dogged the third quarter. The Long- horns broke corral in the fourth and made one other touchdown, making the score 31-0. The Kangaroos played good football but were out numbered as the Longhorns played forty men during the game. Saxon’s punting was especially good that day. v CJ lC (hromascope V R. T. SMITH End. Wt. 165; Ht. 5 ft.-9. “Dutchy” played his third year at end for the Kangaroos. He has a wonderful amount of fight and a great ability to take passes. He is one of the surest tacklers in the state and his end was circled very few times this year. His work against S. M. U. will be long re- membered. He played more quarters than any one on the team. Smith will report to practice next September for the Kangaroos. W. O. MILLER Half. Wt. 152. Ht. 5 ft.8 Miller made his second letter this year at half. He was a little slow in getting in shape, though he showed great ability at times. He is a fast man and hard to stop in a broken field. He has two more years to play for the Kangaroos. SIMMONS GAME The second game of the season was with the Simmon’s Cowboys at Wichita Falls. This game started off in a rush. The Cowboys kicked off and Miller returned the ball to the Simmon’s ten yard line but couldn’t buck it across. The entire game was played in the Cowboy territory. In the first half the Kangaroos made a safety when Morgan tackled a Cowboy with the ball on the Simmon’s goal line and the ball was fumbled and Smith fell on it behind the goal line. The referee said he had blown his whistle before Smith fell on the ball. By what authority he blew the whistle we have never found out but the ball went back. Again in the fourth quarter Miller received a punt on his own ten yard line and ran the remaining length of the field for a touchdown. Again the head linesman said that Miller had stepped out of bounds. The ball went back. We are told that the score was 0-0. ‘49 24 (L 9%= (hromascopb V W. L. HILL Half. Wt. 150; Ht. 5 ft.-7 Hill is a two-letter man and a hard hitting little half. He is a good ground gainer and always has the fight. He is a fine defensive man, especially at punt blocking. His ability to find holes in the line and his passing will make him a valuable man for the next two MACY ROLLINS Center. Wt. 175; Ht. 6 ft -1 Macy played his second year at center and was a very large factor in the Kangaroo de- fense. Macy is level headed in pinches and is good at out guessing the opponents. He is an accurate passer. Due to these qualities he messed up many of the plays of the op- position and will make a good man for two S. M. U. GAME The third game of the season for the Kangaroos and the last game that they lost was with S. M. U. The game was hard fought on both sides and exceptionally clean on both sides. During the first quarter both sides punted very often but neither side gained an advantage. In the second quarter the Mustangs succeeded in bucking the ball close enough to the Kanga- roo goal line to kick a goal. A little later in this quarter Tuck kicked a field goal for the Kangaroos. Neither side scored the third quarter. Near the end of the game the Kangaroos lost on an exchange of punts and the ball was very near the Kangaroo goal line. Saxon was called back to punt. The punt was blocked and the ball was recovered and carried across the Kangaroo goal line by Daniel of the Mustangs. So the game was lost in the last twenty-two seconds of play. fi CJ lC (hromascope V H. O. CRAWFORD Left Guard. Wt. 165; Ht. 5 ft.-ll “Molly” made his second letter this year. He always played consistent ball but never got in the lime-light. Much of the offense was due to his charge and ability to carry his man out. He never really came to himself until the close of the season. He has two more years on the club. ADAM CONE End. Wt. 170; Ht. 5 ft.-7 For two years Cone has played end for the Kangaroos. Tom is fast and he showed es- pecially good work going down on punts. He probably played his best game against the Texas Longhorns. Tom has a fling at the boys for two seasons yet and will make them hustle next year. HENDERSON-BROWN GAME After the S. M. U. game, the Kangaroos pledged themselves not to lose another game dur- ing the season. With this as their slogan they met Henderson-Brown, October 18, and brought home the bacon to the tune of 17 to 7. In the first quarter Saxon received Miller’s long pass behind the Reddie goal line for the first touchdown of the season for the Kanga- roos. Later in the quarter the Reddies made their only touchdown. Many passes were tried in the second quarter but few completed; neither side scored. In the third quarter the Reddies attempted to kick a field goal but Cone blocked the punt and ran 75 yards but was forced out of bounds. Soon after Butter kicked a field goal. The last period was one of passing, Austin got off some pretty ones—one of which, Allred to Smith, netted a touch- — cj ie (hromascope------------------- H. E. FRNlCA Guard. Wt. 185; Ht. 6 ft. Frnka was changed from back field to the line this season. At the beginning the line was a little awkward to. him, but by the mid- dle of the year he looked like an old timer in this position. He proved himself a great de- fensive man from the start. Frnka has two more years, and will be one of the best guards in the state. MACK SAXON Full. Wt. 170; Ht. 5 ft.-lOVfc This was Saxon’s first year, but he proved himself the most consistent ground gainer on the club. He was unanimously chosen all-T. I. A. A. He played the entire season with a bad knee but could rip a line almost at will. Sax has three more years and will sure tear the boys up. DANIEL BAKER GAME Cawthon put the Kangaroos through some strenuous training between the Reddie and the Billie games and it showed up when the Kangaroos met the Hill Billies at Fair Park Stadium in Dallas, October 27. The Billies were knocked off their feet for a 68-6 score. It is not necessary' to give this game in detail for the whole thing was a mere practice game for the Kangaroos. The only touchdown the Billies got was on a fumble. All kinds of football that is known was played by Austin, and the Billies couldn’t stop any of it. The Pouchers did a good part of the playing. Dutchy going down on punts was spectacular, Saxon’s punting was the best, Hill, Nelson, Allred, and Miller were the ground gainers. Frnka carried the ball quite consistently and made one of the numerous touchdowns. The entire game was a walkover and the Kangaroos started their walk toward the T. I. A. A. championship. : cy w (hromascope- l) LEO ALLRED Quarter. Wt. 135; Ht. 5 ft.-2 Allred was a first year man and made his letter at quarter. Butter was a good field general and a good passer. He was an All I'. 1. A. A. man this year and the smallest man in the state. He has a long time yet and will be hard to stop with a little more weight. TAYLOR NELSON Half. Wt. 170; Ht. 5 ft.-ll. Nelson v as one of the most brilliant halves in the T. I. A. A. He was slow to get in shape, but after the T. C. U. game he showed good form. He was fast and a good defensive man and will prove a valuable man next year. He has three years left. He gained more yards this year than any other Kangaroo. HOWARD PAYNE GAME November 2, two of the strongest teams in the T. I. A. A. met on a very muddy field in Brownwood. Due to the condition of the field the backs of both teams were slowed up considerably but nevertheless, Yellow Jackets and mud could not hold down Hill, Saxon, Allred and Miller, they gained continuously through the line and around the ends. Channey and McAllister showed up well for the Jackets. The first quarter was very slow and much fumbling characterized it, neither side scored. In the second period Saxon picked up a fum- ble and ran 47 yards for a touchdown, the goal was not kicked. Howard Payne kicked off, Allred received on his own 10 yard line and, with perfect interference, ran for a touchdown, the goal was not kicked. Neither side gained an advantage in the third quarter. Tuck did some fine punting in the fourth period. The final score was 12 to 0. Austin 12 first downs, Howard Payne 6. zz CJ e (HKOMASCOP -------------- C. M. Langford, Jr. Tackle. Wt. 175; Ht. 6 ft. Aftr having served his apprenticeship with the Pouchers last year Langford made his let- ter this season. He started the year like an old tim-ir with lots of fight and drive. After Poe returned to the game he was out for a while. With his experience he will make a valuable man next year H. S. WHORTON Half. Wt. 160; Ht. 5 ft.-10. ‘'Gotten” was also promoted from the Pouchers of last year. Whorton is a hard hitting little man and made most of his gains at the line. He probably played his best game at S. M. U. He was out the last part of the season with a bad knee. He has the ability and will make a good man yet. T. C. U. GAME The Frogs again suffered a 27-0 defeat at the hands of the Kangaroos this year. The Frogs couldn’t bear that old punch and drive that the Kangaroos had. The first quarter was evenly fought, neither side scoring and both punting often. Soon after the second quarter started Dutchy received Allred’s long pass behind the Frog goal line for a touchdown. The Frogs held the Kangaroos down during the second period. The Frogs were completely played down at the close of the third period but they had held the score to one touchdown. The last quarter was a walkover for the Kangaroos. Nelson circled right end for a touch- down, Hill circled right end for a touchdown, and Smith received another pass from Allred behind the goal line. T. C. U. resorted to passing in the fourth but was not able to com- plete them. Austin 11 first downs, T. C. U. 4. J ic (hromascope- VERNON TUCtf IJnd and Quarter. Wt. 165; Ht. 6 ft. Tuck made his first letter this year as end and quarter. He was a valuable man as he could punt as well as take passes. He was a nice place kicker and his work along this line counted for the score in the S. M. U. game. He has three more years and will certainly develop into a fine player for the Kangaroos. SAM MOORE Utility. Wt. 160; Ht. 5 ft.-10. “Poochie” made his letter this year as cen- ter and end. He was full of fight and was in nearly every play. Moore is a valuable man to the club for he has the ability and the spirit. He was one of the hardest trainers on the club. He has two more years to play for the Kangaroos. TULSA GAME November 16 found the Golden Hurricane in Sherman led by their Big Chief. When the- game ended the Indians were ready to bury the hatchet for the score was 17-7 with the Kang- aroos at the big end. The first quarter was very near evenly fought however, the Kangaroos had the ball on the Tulsa 1 ft. line once but were not able to buck it over. In this period neither side scored. In the second period Butter kicked a field goal. That was the only scoring that quarter. In the third the Kangaroos made a safety when the Hurricanes got off a bad pass from center and the ball was fumbled rolling behind the goal line. Soon after Williams made a nice pass to Cline behind the Kangaroo goal line for a touchdown. On the next kick off Nelson received and ran 95 yards for a touchdown. The Kangaroos made another touchdown in the fourth period. Austin 13 first downs, Tulsa 3. — Cj tc (momscoPB = A. C. WRIGHT Tackle. Wt. 165; Ht. 6 ft.-2. “Doc” showed lots of fight and pep in the game. He was taking his place regularly up to the Simmons game, in which he received injuries which kept him out until near the close of the season. He is an aggressive man and will be hard to keep out for the next VIRGIL ROGERS Tackle. Wt. 180; Ht. 6 ft.-2. Rogers'was an especially good man on the offense. This was his first year in college football and with a year’s experience he will make it mighty hard for any one to beat him out of his position next year. He will wear the uniform for the Maroon and Gold for three more years. DENTON GAME The Eagles flew over to Sherman November 22 but had to be carried back after the Kangaroos got through with them. Although the teachers knew the Kangaroo signals as well as the Kangaroos they were defeated 28-0. In the first quarter many line bucks were tried but neither side gained much at first. Saxon made the first touchdown and Tuck kicked goal. Nelson ran 5 5 yards for the second touchdown through a broken field for the second, and again Tuck kicked goal. In the second quarter the only touchdown was made by Smith when he took Tuck’s pass. No one scored in the third period. In the last quarter Allred didn’t use signals but called the man’s name that he wanted to carry the ball and where he wanted him to go. This was done so that Denton might not get the signals mixed. Saxon made a touchdown this period. : cy w (hromascope- l) E. J. HUNTER, (Mgr.) Johnson was a manager in the true sense of the word. Hardworking, level headed, effi- cient, and always on hand when he was needed by the coach or the club. His aid contributed to the success of the club. TRINITY GAME. The Kangaroos took out vengeance on the Tigers for what they did in 1921 and 1922 Turkey day. The final score was 48-0. The Kangaroos were determined to win and they succeeded. There was a wonderful amount of fight during the first period on both sides but no scoring. In the second quarter Nelson started a rally by making a touchdown, Allred kicked goal, then Saxon and Miller followed suit with one apiece, one of the goals was kicked. In the third quarter Nelson and Miller both made touchdowns. In the fourth Saxon and Smith made one each, Smith’s was due to a pass from Allred. Many of the stars cf last year for Trinity were kept down by the on-rushing Kangaroos. Captain Morgan played his best game that day, probably. Morgan’s dreams of last summer were realized at last. This victory was not due to any one or two stars but to the work of the entire club and the coaches combined.

He is not a very sure man at the bat, and hops fool him at times, but through his hard training and knowledge of baseball, he made himself a very valuable man.

He was handicapped part of the season with a bad finger. This was his first year on the team, and we will hear more of him in the coming seasons.

Prior to 1922, when the preparatory department was discontinued, a considerable number of students included in enrollment were sub-freshmen. Comparing the session of 1919-20 with that of 1923-24, the number of college students registered shows an increase of approximately ninety-seven per cent in the past four years. Six states and fifty-four counties of Texas are represented in the present student body. That the scholarship of the student body is higher than ever before, is the concensus of opinion of the teaching staff. That a higher grade of work is being done is borne out by statistics, compiled after the first term exams. Between fifty and sixty per cent of all the students registered made passing grades in all their work. An additional twenty per cent passed in all courses except one, while those failing in more than half the subjects taken was as low as nine percent. These facts corroborate the belief that the classroom work has been much more satisfactory than ever before. With this record in size and scholarship, the student body is reflecting credit on the institution in this the anniversary year of her founding, and the college will indeed be proud of the accomplishments of the student body of ’24.

The The Choral Club, a real organization for the' first time, is a welcome addition to student activities, and has well justified its being. Both Glee and Choral Clubs are directed by heard. The Glee Club made its trip the first two weeks of the second term, including many Western towns. They received only the highest praise for the programs rendered. The Chor- al Club, unable to make such extended trips, was none the less appreciated when they put on a performance in Sherman Hall. We are proud of our Glee and Choral Clubs. THE KAPPA KAPERS On the night of March .20, the Kappa Gamma Chi Literary Society sponsored a vulsed and delighted the audience by turns. The choruses were exceptionally fine, and The girls are proud of their accomplishment in featuring this performance. The chief reason for their rejoicing was because it brought the fund to completion which they have been working on so hard to build a memorial fountain to donate to the college. This will be completed before the Diamond Jubilee Celebration. G- - 4 9-' ''-‘24—.............- -u ......CJ te (hROMASCOPE — ORATION OF PRELIMINARY ORA- TORICAL CONTEST THE RIGHT OF WAY The multitude of difficulties that man has had to face in blazing the right of way for civilization have been numerous as the stars in the firmament. Beset on all sides by strife, dissension, avarice, greed, and revenge, humanity has held up its standard of civilization proudly and defiantly, seeking out its triumph over human error and natural barrier. Observe the hosts of occult and invisible powers that have daunted man thus far, which of necessity have guided him into an ordeal of human experience, for which man has paid the price of defying the ele- ments of nature, first to be conquered and then to conquer, evidencing that it has been incumbered upon man to pass through these multiple experiences of which I can think of none more detrimental to human nature than that of war. When man turns the pages of history and reflects upon the chronology of the past with its inconceiv- able vitascope of change, he inevitably meditates upon the factors that have blazed the path of the right of way. The bleached and parched bones by the wayside, the derelicts on the sea, the early graves, the frazzled and depleted youth, are indica- tions of the great strife, evidencing the eternal purpose of moral man to emerge from a cymerian darkness to eternal light. Slowly but surely amid sufferings, dissension, and warfare, humanity has been reach- ing out to attain the rights of man. Paganism had utterly denied such rights. It contrib- uted nothing to man as man; he was what wealth, place, distinction of power had given him. What profited Alexander the Great, Charlemagne, and Napoleon thatf they dominated the world? Even the wise Aristotle thought that some men were intended by nature to be slaves and chattels. This doctrine, the superiority of races, cannot cope with the religion of the Galilean, who proclaimed aloud the doctrine of the common fatherhood of God, and the universal brotherhood of man. Human liberty leads in the right of way for the equality of man, which is God’s recog- nition of his true greatness and dignity, symbolizing the beauty of man’s life and the power of growth enwrapped in the principles of liberty. The loss of liberty is the loss of light, sunshine and happiness, the loss of life’s best portion. Humanity, under the spell of Heavenly memories, never ceases to dream of liberty and to aspire to its possession. Man, desiring to expand, to explore and for religious freedom, has sought out new shores. Wit- ness, if you please, on the American shores after the landing of the Puritans the settlement of Jamestown, Massachusetts, and Georgia, organized to liberate themselves from the bond- age of cant and mockery to the contemplation of love and truth. But not until the States declare themselves free, not until the Star Spangled Banner, unfolding its bounteous folds over the Republic of the West, was liberty caught up in humanity’s embrace and embodied in a great and abiding nation. What are some of the impelling forces that thwart the principles of the right of way? It is the periodic or constant strife, either against the laws of nature or for immutable greed, which is a most distinguishing feature of the human race.

The purposes for which the Business Club was organized are as follows: “to stimulate interest in the Austin College School of Business Administration; to offer to students of Aus- tin College a more varied study of the problems constantly confronting the modern busi- branches of business, thereby acquainting them with these executives so that the graduate students in the School of Business Administration may be afforded access to employment, in that phase of business which they desire to pursue.” To qualify as an active member in the club the following requirements are made: At least Sophomore standing, taking at least one course in the School of Business, the average average in these courses must not be less than C (70-80); and sign in good faith in that membership pledge, which assures interest an dco-operation of all members. Honorary membership may be conferred upon any business man in the vicinity of Aus- tin College, and upon any man connected directly with Austin College. The Club has been very enthusiastically endorsed by everyone who has considered its status, as evidenced by the co-operation of local business men and the Alumni Association, which is attestation of the significance of the organization.

The first number of the course, the “Temple Singers,” presented a delight- ful program of costumed numbers from grand and light opera, folk songs, sacred songs, and duo and trio arrangements. The Patton Brothers Trio, the sec- ond number, presented their entirely new and vastly enjoyable “futuristic musical program.” The magician always holds a promi- nent place in popularity on the Lyceum course, and James Kater, third in number of the entertainers, delighted his audience with his mystifying program. Mrs. Marion Ballou Fisk, cartoonist, lecturer and entertainer, the fourth artist of the Course, in her fifteen years of Lyceum work, has presented her program in every state of the Union, and has always received the invitation to “Come again.” Sherman has been added to her list of admirers. The fifth number and one of the most successful of the entire course, was the Vivian Players’ presentation of Anthony McGuire’s comedy, “Six Cylinder Love.” The Vivian Players met with acclaim and this play has given them a permanent place in our hearts. The sixth number, The Fenwick Newell Company, brought to Sherman a company of four artists, who presented a recital of exceptionally high musical attainment. Allen D. Albert, the seventh entertainer, was for many years a metropolitan editor, a correspondent and a college professor. His subject was simply Humanity, and he knew it as one who loves his fellow man. The eighth was a particularly enjoyable quartet of talented young men who combined both vocal and instrumental artistry. The program of the Music Makers was one to please the most critical. The ninth, the Pam Pamga Filipino Quartet, was one of the most enjoyable of the Course. The vocal selections included folk and tribal songs of the Phillipines, the romantic airs of Spain, and the dulcet songs of Hawaii. The El Day Quartet measured up to standard. This quartet is widely known in con- cert fields. Captain T. Dinsmore Upton, “Big Brother to One Hundred Thousand Kids” as the eleventh number of the Course, particularly interested his audience with his “Boys Will Be Boys.” The last number of the series, Halwood Robert Manlove, the Man of Many Faces” de- lighted his audience with his extraordinary character delineation. In addition to having proved one of the most delightful, the course also enjoyed the largest patronage of any lyceum course ever offered in Sherman. - AUDITORIUM, SHERMAN HALL cy tc (hromascope- V THE H. H. THOMPSON PRIZE In the summer of 1920 Hoxie Thompson, loyal alumnus of the Class ’02 and substantial benefactor of the institution, conceived the idea of offer- ing $250 in gold each year to the best- all-round man in Austin College. The central motive in Mr. Thompson’s mind was to encourage participation in all the walks and interests of college life. Like- wise to give every man a fair chance at some prize, though he be not the best athlete, student, declaimer or what not in school. For the prize considers four phases of a man’s college career; scho- larship, leadership, character and ath- letics, each adjudged of equal value. Also the recipient of the prize must have gone out for some form of ath- letics. It takes a well-rounded man to be considered for the award. The candidates for the prize are nominated by secret ballot of the stu- dent body at the final chapel exercises of the year. The winner is chosen from those who are nominated by as many as fifteen persons by a committee composed of the President of the College, the dean of the faculty, the coach, one represntative of each class, the Y. M. C. A. Secretary, and one other member of the faculty. And great is the excitement and curiosity between the meeting of this committee and the final announcement of the winner, kept secret until the Commencement Exercises. J. D. Miller was the first winner of this prize in 1921. R. A. Moreheart was the happy recipient of it in 1922. And last year W. L. Golightfy was chosen as the best all round man in Austin College. “Crip” as he is generally known, is a first class athlete, having won let- ters in football, basketball and baseball. He has held many positions of responsibility both on the athletic field and campus and has at all times proven himself worthy of the trust reposed in him. He is a perfect gentleman, at heart and in manners. He is a conscientious student. Also to “Crip” belongs the singular distinction of being the first winner of the prize outside of the Senior class, though no such restriction is placed upon it. Last year was only “Crip’s” Sophomore year, although he entered as a “prep.’ This speaks well for the general high esteem in which he is held by his friends. “CRIP” GOLIGHTLY ----CJ ie (HROMASCOPE- .....— THE PAINTING OF THE SMOKESTACK - 4 9-' ''-‘24—.............- -O ':-r ■ : cj'Ae (hromascope- ‘24- CJ ie (HROMASCOPE- 7?

The squad and entire faculty assembled at 7 o’clock, when a delicious banquet was served by the club members. Mr. M. L. Cashion, for whom the new athletic field was named, acted as toastmaster. Dr. Clyce first spoke, voicing the appreciation of the college for the splendid record the 1923 Kangaroos had made. Mrs. Clyce and Mrs. Gray spoke in behalf of the Campus Club.
