We send forth this Year Book with no lit- tle trepidation of heart, knowing well the magnitude of the work we have undertaken in issuing such a volume. It goes not out as a moral guide-replete with brilliant or sarcastic editorials-nor is its sphere the laudation of individual en- deavor. But it is, in a word, an effort by students to put in permanent form the hap- penings of the year, the spirit of the class- room, the jest of the hallway and the gossip of the campus, to give to the friends of Bak- er the best in our college activities by bring- ing together the many threads which so pull upon our memories and sympathies, and which woven together make the woof of our university spirit and our university life. To students may it come as an old friend with whom they may talk over old times, to alumni may it re-echo the joy and laughter of those by-gone days so nearly forgotten, and to our many friends may it serve as a token of our appreciation of their hearty co- operation and sympathetic support. 8 ,ff:..

Conference the whole of the state of Kansas was in one Conference known as the Kansas. OR several years prior to 1873, since the division of the Kansas and Nebraska In March, 1873, the session of the Conference was held at Ottawa, with Bishop Bowman as the presiding bishop. At this session, after considerable debate, the action was taken by which the state was divided into two Conferences. the line of division being the south line of township sixteen, all south of that line and the cities of Ottawa and Louisburg, north of it to be known as the South Kansas Conference. This Conference then had four districts, viz.: Emporia, Fort Scott, Humboldt and Wichita, and covered a territory four hundred miles long and one hundred miles wide. In addition to the four districts there were 93 pastoral appointments. Of these four Presiding Elders, P. T. Rhodes, D. P. Mitchell, A. K. Johnson, and J. McQuiston, all are dead and of the preachers, a large majority of them are known to be dead and only three are now in the effective ranks in this Conference. These are B. Kelly, VV. T. Xvhite, and H. W. Chaffee. Three others only are connected with the Conference and these are the honored superannuates, G. W. Pye, Wm. Bristow, and C. R. Rice. The minutes of the session in closing say, Old comrades, who have stood side by side in the days that tried 1ll6Il'S souls, met in Conference together for the last time until the general gathering shall be when all the coniiicts are past. The first session of the South Kansas Conference convened in Fort Scott, March 11, 1874, with Bishop Andrews presiding. At the close of the Conference there were 88 ap- pointments including those of the four Presiding Elders. At this session the Preachers' Aid Society was organized and it has since become an organization of no small force in the Conference and now distributes annually to its beneficiaries about 35400. The statistics of this session show a membership of 12,721 There were forty-three church buildings and forty-one parsonages. The valuation of this property was S125,745. There was raised that year for missions 8758, and for education 3526. At this session the Missionary Society appropriated 354,500 to assist in the work. In ministerial support the claims were 3550,832, of which only 334,277 was paid. At the session of the Conference held in 1882 at Burlington, at which Bishop Warren presided, a new Conference was formed to be known as the Southwest Kansas Confer- ence. This took practically 300 miles in length from the west end of the Conference territory, the dividing line being the west line of Chautauqua, Elk, Greenwood, and Chase counties. This left the South Kansas Conference with a territory practically 100 miles square in the southeast corner of the state of Kansas, and embracing the counties of Cherokee, Labette, Montgomery, Chautauqua, Elk, Wilson, Neosho, Greenwood, Chase, Crawford, Bourbon, Linn, Allen, Woodson, Anderson, Coffey, with the south parts of 17 EMPORIA DISTRICT Presiding Elder, W. H. Mulvaney Lyon, Osage, Franklin and Miami, and an appointment in Morris. This is the present territory of the Conference. A comparison of the figures of the first session 1874, and the ninth in 1882, the year of the division, shows in 1882 a membership of 20,167, a gain of 7,4465 church. buildings 133, a gain of 905 parsonages 92, a gain of 50. Value of both 3348,788, a gain of 3233,043. That year there was raised for Missions, 32,698--a gain of 31,940, and for Education, 3586, a gain of 3560. That year the Conference received from the Missionary Society to aid in the work, 35,500 The Board of Church Extension as- sisted in building twenty-seven churches with donations of 34,725, and granted loans to the amount of 39,600 to twenty-nine churches, some of them being the same to which do- nations were made. This Was a period of rapid development in the West and nobly did our, connectional societies come to the relief. In matter of ministerial support the claims were 386,586, on which 380,170 was paid, a gain of 345,892 The Conference had grown from four' dis- tricts to six, now named Emporia, Fort Scott, Independence, Wichita, Newton and Larned, with 149 appointments, being a gain of two districts and sixty-five appointments. The closing words of the minutes of 1882 are and the Conference separated never again to meet as one Conference. There was a sorrow in sunderirrg the tie, and yet a. rejoicing that the great growth and development of the work had made it necessary. The session of 1883, the iirst in the present form was held at Oswego, commencing March 1, with Bishop Harris presiding. This year four districts were organized, taking place of the three as at close of last session. They were Emporia, Fort Scott, Indepen- dence and Ottawa. In this form they have remained. In 1883 there were 89 appointments, a nrenrbership of 13,8133 churches 118, parson- ages 41, with valuation of property, 3291,010. There was raised for Missions 31,722, and for Education 3458. The Conference received from the Missionary Society that year 32,000 ' At the last session, 1905, the figures were as follows: Members 29,467, a gain since 1883 of 15,654, churches, 278, a gain of 1605 parsonages, 118, a gain of 77, missionary col- lection,9312,571, a gain of 310,849g education, 36,291, a gain of 35,836 There are now 127 appointments, a gain of 38. The item of Ministerial Support is: Claims 3115,959. on which 3113,521 was paid, a gain of 361,744. Gains, very nearly corresponding to these named will be found all along the line, and the spirit of growth and development still remains as the spirit of the Conference. The recent great developments in gas and oil in this territory with the coming in of many large manufacturing plants have greatly added to the wealth of this section and hence to the ability and responsibility of our people. The agricultural resources here are very great and to this add the gas, oil, shale for brick, material for cement, zinc, lead and coal, and the possibilitics both for people with whom to labor and money with which to carry on the work are beyond present calculation. The Conference since its first session in 1874 has had for its presiding bishops as follows: Andrews, '74, '87, '96, Mer- rill, '75, '84, '91, Peck, '76, Simpson, '77, Bowman, '78, '88, Wiley, '79, Foster, '80, Hurst, '5-1, Vlfarren, '82, '92, Harris, '83, Ninde, '84, Walden, '85, '01, Vincent, '89, '00, Foss, '90, '03, Joyce, '93, '05, Mallalieu, '94, '02, Goodsell, '95, McCabe, '97, Cranston, '98, Fitzgerald, '99, Hamilton, '04, The sessions of the Conference have been held three times at each of the following places: Fort Scott, Ottawa, and Baldwin, twice at Independence, Em- poria., Burlington, Paola, Parsons, and Clranute, and once each at Wichita, Garnett, 19 FT. SCOTT DISTRICT Presiding Elder, john Maclean Hutchinson, Wellington, Oswego, Girard, Coffeyville, Pittsburg, Columbus, Eureka and Iola. The following have served as secretaries: S. Holman, two years, A. Sleethl, one, H. J. W'alker, three, H. VV. Chaffee, eight, J. M. Iliff, thirteen, S. L. Chase, four, I. M. Benham, one. The Conference has been represented in the General Conference as follows: D. P. Mitchell, two sessions, A. Buckner, one, B. Kelly, two, S. E. Pendleton, one, C. R. Rice, two, H. W. Chaffee, two, J. A. Hyden, one, H. McBirney, three, J. W. Stewart, one, S. S. Murphy, one, J. E. Brant, one, H. J. Coker, two, J. H. Price, one, C. T. Durboraw, one, A. R. Maclean, one. It has also been represented by the following laymen: E. W. Cun- ningham, three sessions, D. S. Elliott, two, and one each. by W. B. Smith, C. W. DeVVolf, F. R. Crisman, H. C. Mechem, J. N. Ritter, W. H. Stout, J. E. Bowen, J. E. Hair, N. Care, J. J. Hurt, O. G. Markham, E. B. Payne, and Florence L. Snow. Out of the ranks of the Conference, and while connected with it, there have fallen by death forty-five membeis. They passed in, but their works have followed them. A survey of the Minutes brings out the fact that there has been an exceedingly large number of transfers, both into and out of the Conference. Four hundred and sixty-four names have appeared on the roll, of whom one hundred and fifty-three remain. Many have gone to the better land, and others may be found in all parts of the globe. This Conference has ever been loyal to Baker University and demonstrated its loyalty by splendid collections and a fine list of students. Though small territorially, the Confer- ence has had a fine record and has a promising future. Many of its cities are growing rapidly, new ones are springing up and its manufacturing and farming interests are rap- idly developing. Th.e church has kept pace splendidly with it all but will have a strug- gle to overcome the worldliness incident to such rapid development. H. W. CHAFFEE. 21 INDEPENDENCE DISTRICT Presiding Elder, C. S. NUSBAUIVI THE KANSAS CONFERENCE. By Rev. Edwin Locke, D. D. I-IE beginning of Methodism in Kansas was about 1828, when the Shawnee In- dians came to this territory and a mission was established among them at R Prophetstown, near where the village of Turner is now located, later a Man- ual Labor School was started near Rosedale and the mission was moved to that locality. Vvhen the war of the rebellion came on, this mission was in the hands of southern sympathizers and, although it was located on free soil, they carried it into the Church South. The true genesis of the Methodist Episcopal Church on Kansas soil was in 1844, when the Wyandotte Indians were removed to Kansas from Ohio, and the Rev. James Gurley came with th.em as their missionary. At the same time Mrs. Lucy Bigelow Arm- strong, the daughter ofthe Rev. Russell Bigelow, of the Ohio Conference, who had mar- ried into the tribe, came with them and perhaps exerted more influence for good, lirst among the Indians and afterwards among the early settlers, than any other person. The celebrated Kansas-Nebraska act opened up the territory for settlement and on June 23, 1854, Bishop E. R. Ames appointed the Rev. Wm. H. Goodde, D. D., of the North Indiana Conference, To explore the country-so that it may be known how many minis- ters, if any, should be sent, and at what particular points they should be located. On the fourth of the following month Dr. Goodde arrived at Wyandotte and received a cor- dial welcome from the Indian Methodist and the missionary in charge, the Rev. John M. Chivington, and on the following Sunday, he preached the Iirst sermon ever delivered bv ofhcial appointment to white people in this territory, in the cabin of a settler named Kib bee, at what was then called Hickory Point, but which is now familiarly known as Big Hill , near the present site of Baldwin. The text was: The gospel of the Kingdom shall be preached in all the world. The doctor seems to have had some authority other than to explore the country, for he appointed the Rev. Abraham Still, a missionary to the Shawnee Indians, to look after the white settlers along the Wakarusa and a little later, the Rev. Thos. B. Markham of the Missouri Conference to take charge of the white work around Ft. Leavenworth. All the work in both Nebraska and Kansas was attached to either the Missouri or the Iowa Conference, and for one or two yeais the minutes of both conferences carried a Kansas-Nebraska district. In the report which Dr. Goodde made to the bishops, he recommended that two cir- cuits be formed and that a superintendent be appointed with discretionary powers as to future appointments and the sub-division of the work. This report so pleased the au- thorities that they settled upon him as the man to lead in the venture, and the following spring Dr. Goodde was transferred to the Missouri Conference, and was appointed su- perintendent of the work in Kansas and Nebraska, with almost episcopal powers. After 23 KANSAS CITY DISTRICT Presiding Elder, S. Ford. TOPEKA DISTRICT Presiding Elder, Edwin Locke ATCHISON DISTRICT Presiding Elder, W. Alderman much trouble he found one young man, the Rev. James S. Griiiing, then at North Street Mission, Indianapolis, Indiana, a graduate of Wesleyan University at Middletown, Con- necticut, who measured up to the doctor's idea of a man for Kansas, and who was willing to come west, and who labored in Kansas until he was called to his reward in 1882. The trip to Kansas by the two itinerants and three families had to be made over- land, stopping at Hannibal, Missouri. where Bishop Ames was holding the Missouri Con- ference, and here the appointments for the Kansas-Nebraska district were read out as follows: Wm. H. Goodde, presiding elder, Thos. J. Ferril, Marais des Cygnesg J. S. Griiiing, Wakar'usa3 John H. Dennis, Delaware and Vifyandotte Mission: W. D. Gage, Old Ft. Kearney. On the fourth of November, 1854, Dr. Goodde and his party crossed the Haw river and obtained permission from the Indian Council to make their h.ome among them. A house was rented, and the doctor was soon busy with his district which nov has Within its bounds nine annual conferences and part of three others, and that keeps very near 2,000 preachers busy looking after about 190,000 members. The next year it was found to be necessary to divide the work into three districts: North Kansas, South Kansas and Nebraska, and L. B. Dennis, Abraham Still and Wm. H. Goodde were the presiding elders. The General Conference of 1856 set off the new work as a separate conference, and its iirst session was held in a tent at Lawrence, October 23rd, with Bishop O. C. Baker presiding, he having been 'iconducted to the seat of the conference with proper escort. In other words it was found necessary for an armed guard to accompany the bishop from Kansas City. Those were troublesome times in Kansas and most of the preachers came to conference armed. There was reported at that time twenty-three preachers, fifteen of whom had been received at that session by transfer, 1,138 white members ,and 144 Indian members. The growth was so rapid that in 1860 Nebraska was formed as a separate conference. and in 1864, what had been the Rocky Mountain district, was formed into the Colorado conference. The next division was in 1873 when all that part of the state south of town- ship sixteen, was set off as the South Kansas Conference. The next division of territory was in 1882, when that pait of the conference lying west of Dickinson, Clay and WVash- ington counties was formed into the Northwestern Kansas Conference. Of the charter members of conference, only Thos. J. Ferril is living, he being a member of the Missouri Conference. Dr. Goodde iinally retuined to Indiana, where he continued to be a man of great usefulness. Another of the original members was Dr. Jos. Denison, who afterwards became president of Baker University, and was very prominent in the affairs of the conference up till his death. John M. Chivington became a colonel in the civil war, and was prominent in the early days of Colorado. They were all heroes for God and humanity, and sowed good seed which has brought forth a thousand fold. The Kansas Conference now reports 184 members and probationers, with a church membership of 25,715, and 2,259 probationers, who worship in 258 churches that are val- ued at S169,850, and who gave last year to the benevolent enterprises of the church over 339,000 27 JUNCTION CITY DISTRICT Presiding Elder, S, Alonzo Bright. MANHATTAN DISTRICT Presiding Elder, J, R. Madison. fX HISTORY OF THE CAMPUS. Baker University. I became connected with the University in the spring of 1871, but up to 1873, at which date this history begins, the improvements consisted of one building with one :story only completed--now called Science Hall. The history of this building, and it has a most unique one, forms a chapter by itself. and will not be attempted here. A three-board fence enclosed a campus of twenty acres. The native grass had al- most disappeared, and there was not a tree or a shrub to be seen, just a few wild iiowers and a few specimens of the ever-present Kansas sunflower. Not far removed from the northeast corner of the campus there was one small but apparently prosperous village of prairie dogsg possibly they were prairie squirrels. Not far from the northwest corner there was an abandoned well, whether this was dug in territorial times or was one of Major Schoiie1d's sites for a fountain, or who dug this well, if I ever knew, I can not now recall. There were numerous paths over the campus, leading almost anywhere. Each stud- cnt and professor seemed to have a path of his own, leading to his home or boarding house or elsewhere. Whether this was prophetic of the independence of thought and originality, which has ever been the characteristic of the Baker student, or of the youths hereafter meandering down life's pathway, I a1n not able to say. However that spring the ground was plowed and a crop of oats was grown, not wild oats, that was left for subsequent parties, but genuine graing and at the same time I purchased blue grass seed and sowed it myself and secured a good stand which for many years made a beautiful lawn over a great part of the campus. During the spring of '73 or '74 the ground was prepared and a hedge was planted around the entire campus. Dr. L. B. Dallas was the first to suggest and start this work. XY. Plashet donated the plants and .l. C. Stearns, the father of Mrs. IYeatherby, set and cultivated the hedge. At that time hedges were very popular in Kansas, and Mr. Stearns, though more than seventy-five years old, took great pains and gave many weeks of hard toil in laying it down and trimming it, and finally made it a greatly admired hedge. 30 In the spring of '74, arrangements were made to plant the north half of the campus in trees. W. Plashet had donated a large number of maples and catalpas for this pur- pose. The classes were dismissed for the day, and the students and faculty, assisted by a number of the town people, went to work with a will. I had staked out one walk, or avenue, to the north toward the church, one directly east and the third southeast. Stud- ents were directed to plant by classes, or each one plant where he pleased, so by night the trees stood well scattered over the entire ten acres, some in rows along the walks, some in groups, or solitary, just where they stand today. Some brought trees from the forest or from their home yards, and this accounts for the varieties other than maple or catalpa. Soon after this-the next spring-I th-ink, Professor Sweet superintended the planting of a maple grove along the walk to the west of the College building. All the trees planted that day, except three, came out in leaf and made a good growth that sea- son. Though the students of that period had no gymnasium in which to learn and prac- tice the poetry of motion, yet they possessed a splendid co-ordination of mind and body, and if they were ignorant of such terms as t'punting and 'ttouchdownf' they knew how to plant a tree so that it would grow, and were willing to work hard all day with out com- pensation for the church, and this probably accounts for the manner in which these students have so distinguished themselves and have iilled so many important and re- sponsible positions, both in church and state. I recall with pleasure th.e picture of stud- ents in little groups of two and three each, sitting in the shade of a small tree, and mov- ing with the moving shadow. In the spring of '78 the south half of the campus was let to W. Plashet to be used as nursery ground. He cultivated nursery stock on it for three years and then left it planted in fruit trees. This was the status of the campus when I severed my connection with the University in 1880. S. S. VVEATHERBY, A. M. S. S.

The Castle was looked upon as a tempor- ary building, Which might be utilized by some special department later. N As early as 1863 the Board of Trustees resolved, That it is now time that the new building be commenced? Plans were made and in '64, the foundation of the present building was begun. This was to be the center of a great building having two wings on each side, thus making a continuous front of 200 feet. Hon. Marcus J. Parrott made the address on the occasion of the laying of the corner stone. By '66 the foundation and walls of the first story were completedg then came a lull, funds ran low, and the work was spasmodic until '69, an issue of 510,000 bonds was made, and sold to a Mr. Bacon of Elizabeth, N. J. The building was hastened to partial completion, and in '71 was opened for use. ie. The first floor-which had four recitation rooms-the central room of the present museum, being used as chapel. The formal occupation was made with brief ceremonies, and a holiday. Even in those days there were class feuds. The seniors desiring to be the first to have a recita tion in the new building, called a class NB. C. A rival class concluded not to honor the holiday, and in the afternoon Prof. Schnebly strolled quietly up to the building. Presently the class dropped in one by one, and the trigonometry class met regularly. The seniors met also, B. C., but at chapel their joy was quenched. This chapel was the scene of events of interestg one at least, has not been repeated-a faculty wed- ding in chapel. One sunny spring day the students were cordially invited to attend chapel. Suspecting a holiday, all came. When the faculty marched in, a stranger was in th-eir midst, and instead of the usual chapel talk by our esteemed friend, etc., etc., the much-beloved English teacher and the stranger stepped to the front of the platform a.nd the president read the wedding ceremony. As the holiday followed, the surprise was forgiven. As the years passed, the various rooms were finished and occupied. For many years, even before it was finished, the large room, now forming the Biblical-Athenian Halls, was used as chapel. The record of the men who spoke and lectured there, would show many of the great men of those years. And when the chapel proved too small for commencement and vars ious rallies, sometimes the people made a tabernacle on the north side of the building, sometimes they adjourned to the park. In 1882 a new bell was placed in the belfry. With the changes of recent years all are familiar. The story of the building is soon told. But the unwritten history of the years, since that first class recited there-who can tell it. It is recorded only in the hearts of those who have come and gone, bringing to the school their high ideals, and ambitions, and their inspiration, and taking away, we trust, yet higher ideals, and a preparation that will enable them to realize their best selves. To them the old building recalls, not only the many lessons, and the loved teachers, but the merry pranks, the kindly association. They recall the janitor-a student pay- ing his tuition by ringing the nine o'clock bell-whose undue zeal to be on time, brought down on his head the pail of ice water. The calf, the brilliant sophomores tied in the president's chair, the wagon on the belfry, and all the merry pranks. An Athenian will tell of their wrath when an athletic Aelio, entered 'tvia transom and erased 're- ligio' from their motto, of the jell they never ateg of table long lost-and the old walls could tell many a tale of love and lovers, of ghosts and masquer-and as time goes on the stories ever repeat themselves. And the old building is a safe guardian of all that goes on. Long may it stand--even tho it be but a fragment of the never fully-realized dream of.one great building. Long may students, from Junior Academic to Senior, throng its halls, and as long as Baker makes history, one and all will look with tender regard upon the ivy-covered walls. 33 CENTENARY HALL-ERECTED 1884. HE Castle and Science Hall were built in those pioneer days of small begin- nings. The years passed, the school grew and in '80-'82 the need of more or larger buildings grew strong. The chapel in Science Hall was too small for assemblies, and recitation rooms were sadly needed. The church was used as chapel, but it was not large enough. In 1882 work began on the foundation. In 1884 the corner-store was laid with formal ceremonies. The address was given by Dr. H. C. DeMotte. In 1886 the announcement was made that Centenary Hall was completed and Baker could now accommodate 500 students. The history of the building is brief. The history of the schools within its walls is still making. Twenty years has the chapel echoed and re- echoed the voices of students. Almost twice the 500 provided for, assemble in its walls during each year. Only one of the faculty, who christened the building is still with us, Dr. Parmenter, but the names of Dr. Sweet, Dr. Quayle and Miss Ahlborn will ever be mentioned with kindly remembrance. The first class graduated from its walls in '87 , have brought due meed of honor to their Alma Mater. Many and worthy have been, and will be, their successors. The chapel has witnessed numerous contests, where- in class, society, and college spirit ran high. Yet both victory and defeat have wrought good for Baker. The chapel platform has been a forum where any who had a message could speak it, assured of a courteous hearing from a thoughtful, appreciative audience. From this platform almost every Methodist Bishop has given us words of greeting. Students assembled, have listened to message-bearers of truth, from Joseph Cook, in '86, to Newell Dwight Hillis, in '06, and we are but yet in the beginning of what shall be. We meet each morning, and catch the inspiration of our fellow wisdom-seeker and feel a touch of the spirit that filled that much-loved, first president, Dr. Davis, who with his co-workers made Centenary Hall possible, and we go out with a feeling that moves us to high ideals and a resolve that Baker shall still be- A factor of the state, and factor of the glory Thro wars and famine, builder of thoughts and fame, And lend a luster to the glamour of its story, And stand on hearts as Kansas stands-as proud a name. ' 34 TI-IE BUILDING OF THE GYMNASIUM. T has often been said that truth is stranger than fiction. It is very certain that the securing of funds for the erection of the Rippey Building , in which are located the two gymnasia and twelve recitations rooms, has its interesting side, and will prove so, if it can be properly told. Kansas is ahead again as usual. Twelve years ago the Kansas Confer- ences, supporting Baker University, anticipated this discussion on the football question, now occupying so much attention in the newspapers and colleges of the country. Foot- ball was abandoned. The effect was to kill all interest in athletics in the institution. It is interesting to read the Harvard newspapers containing the comments of the students upon the recent action of Harvard University faculty, recommending the abandonment of football. They are almost identical with the comments that appeared in the Baker publication twelve years ago. It is seriously announced that certain students will, at 2:30 o'clock on next Monday, indulge in a game of mumble-the-peg, although Johnnie Smith broke his jack-knife and skinned his thumb in the last game that was played. Also, on Tuesday afternoon there will be a game of Black-mang that is, if the faculty will not interfere, and it is thought they will not, though Charlie Smith skinned his shins in the game that was played last monthf' Nevertheless it seems that the Har- vard Board oi' Overseers, like the Baker University Trustees, will be able to withstand this sarcasm and keep a clear vision of its line of conduct. In the fall of 1899, Dr. Parmenter, always alert to the well-being of our students, insisted that something ought to be done to re-awaken more interest in athletics, and in the physical well-being of our students, and said that the great need was a gymnasium, even if We could have no more than a shed over a floor. He thought such a shed could be build for 515500. I suggested that I would give 3550, if he would raise the balance. A few days later we were talking with Mr. D. Fogle of Williamsburg, Kansas, on this subject. He had built barns, and knew that 35500 would not make a good beginning on a shed. He, therefore said, if we would make it cost 353,000 he would bear one-half of the cost, and he suggested he would be glad to see his son occupy the position of Director of the Gymnasium. Knowing him to be a good man for the place, we readily consented to the conditions, and in a few days had the other 31,500 raised. Upon consultation with an architect, he suggested that we place under this shed a basement story, as it would cost only a trilie more than an ordinary foundation. This was agreed to. A little later, Mr. 'Wolf, whose commercial department was occupying one small room in the basement of Centenary Hall, suggested that if he were given the additional room for live years, together with. all the revenues of the department, he would be willing to add another story to the proposed shed , provided, the total cost did not exceed 352,500 This proposition was accepted, and thus, the one-story shed was to become two stories. About this time, there came to Baldwin, a man who had heard a fifteen-minute talk upon Baker University and its work. He had become deeply interested, and was now, visiting the institution for the first time. Learning something of our plans for this shed , he said it would never do to make it a frame structure, that it was too large, and the ceiling was too high, and that it would not be made strong enough, that if we 35 would make the walls of stone, he would contribute 551,000 The proposition was ac- cepted, and stone they became. We were telling Mrs. F. D. Whitaker of this interesting enterprise, when she asked us 'tWhat are you doing for the girls? The girls need physical training, as well as the men. This very patent fact had, nevertheless, never found its Way into our thought. She proposed a fine gift, if we would set apart a room exclusively for physical training for women. This we gladly consented to do. But the amount, thus far secured, tabout Sl.0,000J, was a little more than a begin- ning of the great enterprise which was now unfolding before us. YVe instructed the ar- chitect and contractor to put in a foundation that would bear any kind of a super- structure. The foundation was thus placed and the walls began to rise. The plan of the building grew and developed as funds continued to come. One day Mrs. Emma J. Ware came to our office, asking if we had received a letter from her father, Mr. W. D. Rippey. WVe had not. She said then that she was authorized to tell me that her father and mother had decided to give 510,000 to Baker University, to be used for such purposes as we might think best. We asked her if it would be suitable to use it in the erection of the gymnasium. lt would. It may well be understood, that a great load was lifted from our shoulders by the announcement of this generous gift- a gift which had been entirely unsolicited. These are a few of the most important and prominent incidents in this campaign for the securing of funds for the erection of this building. All told, over 830,000 has been spent in the building and its equipment. The money has come from about three thous- and subscribers, in amounts, from ten cents to ten thousand dollars. Because Mr. Rippey was the most generous giver in this notable enterprise, the Board of Trustees, without solicitation, or slightest suggestion upon his part, volunteered to name the building, The Rippey Building , in honor of Mr. Rippey, and his lately deceased wife, Mrs. A. C. Rippey. There is another interesting feature of this case. Had it not been for the hearty co- operation of Mr. George W. Miller, the stone contractor, Mr. J. VV. Spurgeon, the wood contractor and architect, and Captain Charles P. Ives, who furnished the lumber and was exceedingly patient with us as to payments of our obligations to himg and of the great forbearance of the Baldwin State Bank in carrying large accommodations for us, it would have been impossible for us to erect the building. It was only by their generous and pa- tient co-operation that we were able to carry this work to a final, successful issue. I know of no building enterprise, beginning in so small a way, which has had such a variety of subscriptions and which, on the part of those in charge of it, required such apparently hazardous risks, as viewed from a strictly business standpoint, and yet one which has come to such successful results as that by which Baker University, starting to build a S500 'tshed , finally secured the largest and best equipped gymnasium in any college south and west of Chicago. This brief article ought not to close without especial tribute to Miss Ada G. Heaton, who has been our first and only instructor in the Women's Gymnasium. The native ability, information, and training, which she brought to her task, and the fidelity, and patience and enthusiasm with which she has conducted her department, thus fixing the ideals, not only for her department, but for all Physical Training in our University, has been one of the largest contributions to the success of this feature of Baker's growth and development. All the friends of Baker University, well informed in her progress during the past few years, will be quite ready to accord to Miss Heaton large credit for much of the success we have achieved in our gymnasium work.-Very respectfully, L. H. MURLIN. 36 I, f', I X' .-5 'YELL- i14I,G4i, 37s CULQ . 19 CVLJTI DR. L. H. MURLIN 38 OUR PRESIDENT. This is peculiarly an age of organization. The power of thorough organization was never more thoroughly appreciated than at the present time. But organization presup- poses a capable and eliicient leader. There is no such thing as united effort without a director. The educational world especially recognizes this fact and its leaders are chosen with careful deliberation. Baker University has in the person of Dr. Murlin, an organizer peculiarly fitted to har- monize its many phases, and a leader capable of wisely directing its varied activities. The history of Baker University since Dr. Murlin assumed control is the record of proud achievements and unprecedented victories for the institution. Dormancy finds its arch enemy in Baker's Presidentg his restless determination will not permit the in- stitution to rest on its oars, but only to press ever toward the golden shores of de- velopment. With such a director urging it on, the future success of Baker is assured. Some remarks concerning the past will indicate the thoroughness and efliciency with which the school has been managed during its present administration. The en- rollment has practically been doubledg the endowment fund of ten years ago compartl to the present sum appears as nothing, but still our President is not content and is rapidly realizing plans for a half-million endowment. The phenomenal increase of en- rollment has made more room an imperative necessity. This need will be amply suppli- ed by the Library building which is now nearly completed. This will probably be the neatest building on the campus, and its erection was made possible by the persistent efforts of Dr. Murlin in raising the money thus invested. Dr. Murlin is compelled to be away much of the time to attend to the interests of the University, and interest people in its welfare. He, however, is remarkably well ac quainted with the student-body, and well liked by everyone. He seems specially endowed with the faculty of dealing with students in a way satisfactory to both parties. Baker University is entering on a wid-e influenceg her graduates are found in every part of the world, responding to every call in life. We feel that too much credit cannot be given Dr. Murlin for his tireless efforts, and we hope his and the University's life have yet many future successes in store for them. 39 Rf fqxmmm, . .,,, A--- Q X MXN .xx , N 0? ge, fn ,,,..-:fj- ,J FACULTY. tHeads of Departmentsj .

And who shall say that it has not been an illustrious line of heroes? From those early days when first, in earnest consultation about the Table Round, were brought to light the cherished principles and traditions that have guided our course, on through those legendary times of which men spoke not but with reverence, down to the realities of the active present, there is no page of the record that is not radiant with the gleam of triumphant achievement. Yet it would be strange if the charge of boasting was made, when we announce that the present defend- eis of the Round Table have outstripped their illustrious predecessor s, in numbers, and in variety and brilliancy of achievement. In many ways, King Arthur's Court is unique. In the first place, although it has been often asserted of themselves by other class-es, we feel that we are the only class, in our time, at least, in which absolute harmony has prevailed throughout the entire school life. There has been no enterprise under the direction of the class which has not received the hearty support of every member. There has been an entire absence of factionalis-m, of political machinations, of the arts of the demagogue, of disgraceful quar- rels, and of all the other things which mar the usefulness of an organization. This con- dition has enabled us to associate upon terms of the greatest good-will and social fellow- ship. Our class reunions, May-day picnics., and celebrations of victories have been among the most memorable and delightful features of our college course. A spirit of mutual helpfulness prevails among us and this, together with the feeling of equality that has al- ways obtained in our ranks, has tended to bring us nearer the noble ideals of the Old King Arthur's C-ourt. ' We are unique, again, in the line of athletic achievement. The winning of the Inter- Class Trophy in Basket-ball for the seasons of 1904 and 1905, in both the ladies' and men's tournaments, placed us beyond all competition in the position of champions in this sport for our college course. Then, in the two Inter-Class Field meets which have been held thus far, we have been overwhelmingly successful, carrying off the cup in eacn meet. We challenge all competitors to show such a splendid record. With humility appropriate to the Freshman. we allowed the Sophomores to defeat us in debate, but vindicated ourselves the next year by winning n unanimous decision over the House of Hanover. We arc unique also in that we never won a class scrap, We .feel that we our entitled to boast of this, as indicating freedom from that degrading re- 44 spect for brute force, w hich our defeats give us. the opportunity of crediting to our op- h lan for publishing the ponents. In yet another respect We are unique. We conceived t e p . Curfew, practically a new departure in school life, since it was the first annual pub- lished within the memory of the oldest inhabitant. In some respects we wish that our names were inscribed at the foot of the ladder in- stead of at the top. Now that we are almost through, we feel that we have learned only enough to be able to enjoy a second trip among the paths of learning: we have merely reconnoitered the territory, like those spies of Bible stories, who viewed the promised land, but made no permanent conquest. Perhaps our successors, imbued with the spirit ' ' ' ' h r's Court may carry to fruition our vain dreams of VVhat nd tradltions of King Art u , a might have been.

The Academy has come to he one of the indespensible assistants to the University, This has been true because of the insufliciency of many of the so-called high schools of the state. The graduates of these high schools presenting themselves for instruction as Freshmen are usually found to be deficient in some line and consequently must pursue some work in the Academy, The advantage of the Academy of Baker over the opportu- nities offered by many institutions, to these would-be Freshmen, is that they may make up their back work and at the same time be getting out their collegiate credits. Th-e Academy has experienced a rapid growth in recent years. This growth is at tested by the constant additions to the corps of teachers, which have been necessary' There are now seven teachers for the Academy. They have all proved themselves tc be thorough and competent, and all have given special attention to their respective lines of study.

I 1 1 ' 1 81 SCHOOL OF MUSIC. HIS department of the University has been constantly extending its scope of operations until now probably none of the special departments of the Uni- versity occupies a larger part in the activities of the general student body. Its director is Prof. F. N. Hair, Professor of Pianoforte and Organ, and Theo- retical studies. The other members of the faculty are Prof. R. G. McCutchan, teacher of Voice Culture, and Captain C. E. Gormly, instructor of brass instruments and leader of the band. Since 1889 Prof. Hair has been putting forth his best efforts to make this one of the most excellent and enjoyable departments of the school. That his work has been appre- ciated is shown by the ever increasing number of students who take advantage of it. The recitals given under his direction are unexcelled by any of a similar character giv- en in the state, and invariably largely attended by all who can possibly find an oppor- tunity to go. Though Prof. McCutchan has been connected with the college less than two years, yet his endeavors have met with a remarkably enthusiastic response. Both Ladies' and Gentlemen's Glee Clubs have been formed, while the Baker Quartette has been winning a. reputation for itself throughout the state. The term and special recitals given under his direction have been greatly appreciated by all. Each- year a musical festival is given in the spring. Last May, among the other features, there was rendered F. H. Cow- en's Rose Maiden , by a Chorus of seventy-five. In April, 1906, a Chorus of one hundred and iifty rendered Haydn's Creation, To a Kansas audience, little need be said in praise of Captain Gormly, for he is one of the best known band leaders in the state. It suffices to say that his success with the Baker band has not been less marked than with any of the others with which he is con- nected. Its appearance is always sure to meet with a hearty response by the public. An orchestra also has been organized this year and it has already shown itself cap- able of the same high grade work as the other features of the School of Music.

ART DEPARTMENT. The satisfactory instructors are, inevitably the ones who most thoroughly under- stand their specialty. The universal demand is .for individuals who have mastered their chosen profession. Because of this fact Baker University is to be congratulated on hav- ing so competent a director of its Art department. Miss Motter who has charge of this work is not only exceptionally qualincd from a scholastic view point to meet the de- mands of this depaitment, but she loves her work, thus insuring her success as a teach- er. The mention of some of her instructors will suggest the thorough and extended training she has received for her work. Among them are: L. W. Wilson, Chicago Art Institute, formerly of Julian Academy, Paris and Royal Academy, Munich, specialist in Life and Still Life workg L. T.Webb, Chicago Art Institute, Pottery: Dr. E. H. Denis, Heil- derberg, instructor of French and German Arty Professor Chas. H. Harman of California, formerly of Julian Academy, teacher of Landscape paintingg Jean Manheim, New York, also of Julian Academy, Landscape and Life: In applied art, D. M. Campanag Munich, Mrs. A. A. Greeng and Miss Dorothea Warren. Miss Motter, having thus come in personal contact with many of the present day masters of art, is able to impart to her students a knowledge of art which but .few in- structors, similarly situated are able to offer. Two courses are offered, one leading to the degree, Bachelor of Painting, the other to a certificate. Instruction is given in painting' in oil and water color, pen-drawing and charcoal: also work in drawing from life. nature and casts: instruction in china paint- ing, tapestry, and wood-carving, is also given. Art Room 89 A Baker Gir F Q SE J 'u THE DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC SPEAKING. It is from the college men that the leaders of today are expected to spring. They should then be prepared in every way to take their place in the wor1d's arena. Few branches of this preparation are more important than that to be secured in a school of public speaking, for none are so poor that proper efforts will not produce unexpected re- sults and none so gifted by nature that improvement is impossible. The connection of this school with Baker offers exceptional advantages, l in that a student is enabled at the i l same time to pursue a course in elocu- tion and one in the College of Liberal Arts or one of the other departments of the University. Credit may be giv- en in the regular collegiate course for work done in this department. The li- brary and the regular English courses thus become an important feature of this work. Furthermore excellet opportunities cation of principles learned here by the literary societies, which form so prominent a part o.f the student life of the University. Here opportunity is offered for frequent appearance be- fore the public with readings, de- bates, orations and essays. Special p prizes and honors accruing from inter- i society and inter-collegiate debates and oratorical contests offer further in- centive to the development of the highest excellence. Baker's unsurpassed record in Alfred E-'-eaCh- these branches of school life are doubtless in a large part due to the untiring efforts of Professor Leach, who has been the principal of this department since 1894. A graduate of Baker and her department of Oratory, he continued his special work under Professor Clark, of the University of Chicago, and Professor Fulton of the Ohio Wesleyan. He has shown great enthusiasm in his work and has de- veloped his department in every branch such as oratorical address, ease and naturalness, voice culture, laws of thought, class and private work, rhetoric, literature, and physical training. The term recitals held under his direction are among the most pleasant features of the University life. 92 are presented for the practical appli- NORMAL DEPARTMENT i-'l141Q 'Q5XywN'5 E' 'Cn'-'-' ff'-A N0 MQ Lillian Scott. THE NORMAL SCHOOL. No profession has greater influence on the moral and intellectual welfare of a nation such as ours than has the teacher's. lt is of primary importance, therefore, that those, who intend to make this their li.fe work should have the most thorough preparation pos- sible. It is to fulfill this purpose that there exists the NormaL School of Baker Universi- ty. That it has proved worthy of its high aim is shown by the records made by its graduates throughout the state. In fact the demand made upon it during the past few years has been greater than the supply. Among the features offered are the Hve professional studies required by lawi Meth- ods. School Economy, School Law, History of Education, and Philosophy of Education. A graduate from this department can thus secure without examination a life certificate to teach in the public schools of Kansas, cities of the first and second class included. This certificate can also be secured by any graduate of the College of Liberal Arts who has pursued the five professional studies in connection with his regular collegiate work. AS there are included in this Normal course not only the so-called common branches but also some of the liberal scholastic studies, many who at one time considered it im- possible, have been enabled to graduate from the College of Liberal Art-sl, without loss of time, by applying to this latter course the studies pursued in the Normal School. Since its re-organization in l892 this department has been under the direction of Miss Lilian Scott, instructor in Pedagogy. Not only has she shown herself an efficient teach- er but an educator in the broadest and truest sense of the word. Nearly every branch of school activity has .felt her influence and the students are always appreciative of her disinterested efforts. 94 -'slew.1oN R H3 R- D- lemma' Nlrs. E. M. Wooo. THE LIBRARY. IKE Baker herself, the growth of our library has been slow but steady, and when the new building is dedicated next fall, she will be able to offer advan- tages in this line unsurpassed by any similar institution in this part of the country. As it is, the library h-as assumed an indispensible part in the work of every student. O1'1lOI'tl.lI1i'Cy is afforded, not only for more serious study and reading, but also for healthy mental recreation of a less burdensome kind. There are about 13,000 volumes now in the stantly increased by purchase and donation. In library and this number is being con- addition, there are about one hundred and thirty periodicals, including the standard publications of both continents. There are also nearly complete bound files of the leading magazines. Under the competent direction cf Mis. E. M. Wood the library is occupying an ever increasing part in the life of the students. All are accorded the greatest privileges pos- sible consistent withl the inter ests of their fellows in their researches. To say that we aprcciate her creased space and facilities, and opportunities for sible by the completion of the new building, we one of the niost plcasant and profitable features 96 and are cheerfully and effectively aided effolts is to put it mildly. VVith the in- decoration which will be rendered pos- daie say that the library will become of the University life. ml W HH pnnmu Mm M IL, l 'T ' I I W , I ,IAM I ,uf m y w . 1bVl. d luff' f : f iIfl91Wl'W ,1qL ' 5 I 1lWhl!! 1!Wf':1 I 1 WNANHIJW M 1 f H H1 W ,IIT A Q I 1 xfll miwlmfifll W 'MW 1 le ffl ' H V W I 'H M1 WX Z f W 'N Illl Il I 'V I ' ' .-. .UW ww ., ' mb W f fwvraam W' 41' , , ,l'l:l'n,'G.l:QL 1 WM We ' W - 1ff f , gn. w Wynn Q25 Tmh .fv qlllblim - A in M N W HW AJ I 'UVM , Q ji Q I f w + :w f1eH-1 J ' 'f' W If ff6j5rQkQ1!QQElfvMI'41i' W Pj fr ,M ,iSr,,smWd JW : 97 Frank E.

The advantages of a commercial education, as a means of securing desirable positions, are emphasizedg but the student is also advised to pursue the college course, if possible. The Commercial school, situated on the second iioor of the Gymnasium building is one of the most comfortably situated departments of the University. The rooms are furniis-hed especially for this kind of work. Professor F. E. Wolf has charge of the department and instructs the classes in book- keeping and commercial branches. Professor Wolf is a broad-minded, practical man having, as a foundation for his special work, a degree from the University, being a member o.f the class of '02. He is a graduate of Gem City Business College and pursu- ed special work in two Chicago Business schools. Mrs. Chapman, first assistant to Professor Wolf, has charge of the classes- in Short- hand and Typewriting. She is a. Gem City graduate, also, and was instructor in the same institution from 1901-'05. In this capacity she had charge of the advanced pupils, who came from other schools to finish their work. In her present position she has given genuine satisfaction. 98 slegcmawwog Class in Business Practice Typewriting Department. 100 ,. 'lb I ff? JV! A . Q P ' P Z LITERARY SOCIETIES. I-IE history of the literary societies in Baker might be said to constitute the his- tory of the University. For the societies have grown up with the school, they have shared the burdens and disappointments of the mother institution and have alike, glorified in her triumphs and successes. Wh-en the societies were in their infancy and the school was not widely known, their records are re- plete with the sacrifices of faithful members striving to protect their society from diS- solution. Later years have witnessed a rapid growth of the University and the so- cieties have consequently experienced a similar expansion and prosperity. lf you were to ask an alumnus of Baker, what are the great dividing lines, politi cally, of the school, he would answer, the literary societies. The fact that the societies occupy this position accounts for their prominence. For they are the most prominent organizations of the school. They are not alone the main political factors of the student body, th.ey perform a more important function for the student, they offer him the oppor- tunity of development along all literary activity. The prominence given literary work at Baker is one of the characteristics of the institution. The society spirit here, is known wherever the school is known. The society is the geiminator of this spirit. It is a spirit which is kept vigorous by intense rivalry, and it is the agency whch has inspired its representatives to their best endeavors. Those who are especially gifted along literary lines are not only rewarded by the noisy demonstrations of their felow students, but more tangible reward awaits their endeavors, in the shape of prizes. All the men's societies hold special contests, at va- rious times, and give either gold medals or cash piizes or both, to the winners of the contests The faculty also encourage this line of work and have instituted two cash prize contests, one in oratory and one in declamation. The local contest in oratory open to all, and which is held to select representatives to the state contest is a closely con- tested event. The net receipts are divided among the fix st three places. The growth of the school has necessitated the organization of several new societies recently. There are now seven societies, four for men, and three for ladies. They are all striving for the highest possible attainment in literary pursuits. The outlook for the future was never brighter, the memberships are constantly growing, and all the oracles herald many unseen triumphs and declare that the literary spirit of the school will go sailing down the vista of time, the most potent factor in the history of our Alma Mater. THE BIBLICAL SOCIETY. It is hardly necessary to write the history of the Biblical Society. Everyone who has come in touch with Baker University has heard of this noted organization. Its his- tory is open for inspection, its record is the pride of its members: and its high ideals are a source of inspiration to all who come in contact with it. It is the oldest society in school. It has sent more orators to the State Contests and its representatives have ranked higher in these contests than the opposing society. The only time a Baker rep- resentative won the Inter-State, it was done by a Biblical. In debate the Bibs have been more successful than their opponents, winning more than half the interrsociety debates. In the inter-collegiate debates Baker has never lost when the debating team had a ma jority of Bibs. Such is its history. Its present work is of the best and the members are enthusiastic as to the future. To its many friends we may say, the outlook for the fu- ture could not be better. THE CLIONIAN SOCIETY. The last established of the group of four literary societies founded in Baker Uni- versity between 1876 and 1881, was the Clionian Society. Since its organization, however. the influence, which it has exerted upon the girls who have come into its care, and through them upon the outside world, has been of incalculable value. Like the school 102 which it has blessed, its early career was one of hardship, but now it shares with the Biblicalsvthe most beautiful society hall in the University and as its prosperity increases so does the munilicence of her benedictions. THE ATHENIAN SOCIETY. The Athenian Society has been organized so long here and has such- a remarkable record that it is recognized as one of the indispensible features of the University. This society practices thoroughness in all lines of literary activity, which characteristic is seen in the records made by her representatives. The society has been divided into a Junior section for academic men and a Senior section for the collegiates, th-us enabling men to appear on the programs oftener. In literary honors Athens has a record of which she is justly proud, but which space does not permit to give in detail. THE AELIOIAN SOCIETY. The Aelioian Society is the sister society of the Athenian. As the latter society, it is divided into Junior society for academic ladies, and Senior society for collegiates. While its representatives do not enter the literary contests of the University, they receive a training which contributes much to the development of true womanhood. The motto of the society is Licht mehr Licht. THE AMPHICTYONIAN SOCIETY. This society was organized May 8, 1905, its membership being composed of men from each of the other men's societies. Fiftyefive names are now on the roll and already its members have taken a great interest in the literary activities of the school. Its aim is to combine literary and social training and, that perfect unity may prevail. The motto is t'Xalepa Ta Kala - What is good is diflicultf' THE PLEIADEAN SOCIETY. The history of this society is short. Although organized by a few months, its pro- gress has been rapid and sure. At the beginning of the Fall term, it was realized more than ever that a new literary society for girls was needed. To meet this need, girls from both of the older societies withdrew and together with a number of new girls, organized the Pleiadean Literary So- ciety. They have now thirty-two members. . The name of this society was chosen after much care and deliberation. It symbo- lizes the lofty ideals of the society-the stars. The motto bears the same thought as the name. Astra Castra, Numen Lumen - The stars are our campnig ground, the Divine our light. The silver gray of the sky, the eternal abode of the stars is the fitting color chosen. The standard of this society is purest womanhood. The aim is to maintain the truest Ch-ristian, intellectual and social development. THE PROM ETHIAN SOCIETY. The Promethian Society is one of the new societies which was organized last spring. It has many promising men on its roll and they have high ideals for the society's attain- ment. A hall has been promised them in the Library, and they expect to furnish it as soon as this building is completed. As a sign of their literary activities the society is represented on the inter-collegiate debating team which will defend the record of the University against the representatives of Upper Iowa College. 103 BIBLICAL SOCIETY.

LENA MCCONNELL, The Oratorical Association is composed of three representatives, elected annually, from each of the following literary societies, Athenian, Aelioian, Biblical, Clioniau, These representatives elect their corps of officers as indicated above. The Association arranges everything incident to holding the local oratorical con- test, the purpose of which is to select an orator to represent the University in the state eoutest. Mr. J. H. Moore won drst place this year. The Association also selects one of its members to attend the meeting of the state committee, which makes plans for the state contest. The societies which have been organized recently, in the school, have asked for equal representation in this association. The old societies have not complied to this request. lt is possible they will he admitted to the association, in the near future, when they have shown that they fully merit equal representation with the Older SO- cietics. J. Howard Moore. THE ANGLO-SAXON. 1IERCE blue eyes, iiaxen hair flowing down an unbended neckg fair open coun- tenance, kingly airg large, white body, sinewy and ruggedg thus the histor- ian describes the Saxon of the olden time. Foes are they, sang a Roman poet, fierce beyond other foes and cunning as they are iierceg the sea is their sch-ool of war and the storm their friendg they are sea-wolves that prey upon the 1311- lage of the world. This picture of the early Saxon clearly shows his distinguishing traits. The Hash of his blue eyes reveals energy and intellectg his rugged features betoken strength and indomitable Will. Energy is as inherent in his mind as in the rushing torrents of Niag- ara. It is not the energy of the Celtic mind, spasmodic and uncertain, now glowing at white heat, then cooling to a listless apathyg nor yet is it that of the Slavonic, torpid and sluggishg but it is an energy more potent than that which u1'ged on Caesar's legions through northern forests and across eastern desertsg an energy like the pulsations of the deep in power and constancy. Here is the secret of the force that impelled the Anglo-Saxon from the coasts of Jutland and Sleswick, through icy seas and wintry blasts to the white cliffs of Albion, and on to the wilds of unknown continents, and the isles of untried seasg here is the secret of the power that enabled him to found imperishable government. His fierce, independent 123 spirit is the germ of Modern Democracy-the inspiration of the English Constitution and the American Revolution. His mind is the seat of a dynamic intellectual force that, ris- ing in its fullest power, pours forth from the intellect of the myriad-minded Shakes- peare: flows from the soul of the blind singer Milton, or, heightened by the spirit of the Christ, launches the Mayflower for its glorious destiny. Thus endowed, the Anglo-Saxon has blazed his way around the worldg but instead of chipping trees to mark his path he has turned wildernesses into fair gardens, and in- stead of piles of stones magnificent empires trace his course. On a small island off the coast of Europe, he builded the maritime power of historyg in the jungles of India, Aus- tralia, Africa, and on the islands of the sea, he has established colonial empires more splendid than those of Rome: in the wilds of a new continent, he has organized the na- tion of the ages. Every sea has been covered with. Saxon sail, every continent dotted with Saxon forts, and today America and England are the foremost nations in the fore- most files of time. Still, it is not in his contest with nature, nor in the clash of arms that the Anglo- Saxon has won his greatest triumphs. It is in the conflict of racial mind with racial mind that he is supreme. As King Midas of antiquity turned into gold everything he touched, the Anglo-Saxon has anglicized the races subject to his iniiuence. The Danes, then the Normans, overcame the Saxons on battlefield, but in the conflict of mind with mind, both Danes and Normans were subduedg Anglo-Saxon thought prevailed and fash- ioned the history of the British empire. It is in America, however, that the Saxon mind has had its severest test. From the Celtic, the Slavonic, the Teutonic, and other races of the Old World a continuous stream has emptied itself into th-e New, threatening to engulf it. But the assimilative power of the Saxon mind has absorbed that foreign stream, and Saxon thoughts and Saxon ideas, as they have been doing for over a hundred years, will mold and control the destinies of the American republic. Racial greatness is best measured by the ideas developed by racial mind. This is the real test of racial superiority. What is civilization's debt to Greece for her Parthe- nons and Olympics h-er Marathons and Thermopylaes, compared with its debt for the idea of the Beautiful, and the fledging idea of Human Liberty, worked out by the Gre- cian mind? What comparison is there between the glittering legions of Imperial Rome and the idea of Law, a priceless gift for all future time? VVhat is the worth of Saxon energy and assimilative power, Saxon empires and colonial systems, compared with those immortal ideas-Individual Liberty, Representative Government, and Religious Freedom, as evolved by the Saxon mind? These ideas are the greatest contributions given to civilization by any race in any stage of human advancement. WVithout them, Saxon energy would have been powerless and Saxon potency but a myth.. They form the foundation upon which the complex structure of modern civilization rests. Individual Liberty! What an important part this idea has played in history! It has ever awakened in man the desire for fuller freedom and beckoned him on to broader endeavor. T o a groping humanity it seemed at times that hope had been extinguished, and the clanking chains and cries of millions subject to a brutal tyranny accentuated the despair. Was there no relief from the hand of the oppressor and was the travail of humanity never to cease? XVhere was the race that was to solve the problem of human equality? lt was not the Greek. The problem was too great for him. Liberty for the few and the state supreme was his solution and Grecian civilization passed away. Nor was thc Roman equal to the task. Law was not the solution, for law became the weapon 124 of the oppressor and mankind groaned under the Roman yoke. To the north. of the imperial empire a puissant race was born, an event which brought the dawn of a brighter day. Battling with northern forests and northern seas the Anglo-Saxon race de- veloped strong individualities, and in their hearts from the beginning the fires of liberty burned, ever fanned to stronger blaze by wintry blasts. And in the old folk-motes, under the wide-spreading trees of those northern forests, the idea of Representative Govern- ment took flrm hold of the Saxon mind. Together these two ideas took deep root in their storm-bred minds, and together they expanded as this restless people migrated to its island home. Then from the south-land there came to this awakening race the sweet story of Bethlehem, the golden precepts of the Sermon on the Mount, the inspiration of the Cross, and in the consciousness of these once gloomy and fatalistic sons of the north ern seas, the Christ idea found eager welcome and grew. The history of the development of these ideas is the history of the Anglo-Saxon race -the grandest act in the drama of human story. The actors-the rugged barons, the grim Puritans, the massive Cromwell, the eloquent Burke,, the clear-minded Franklin. and tens of thousands of American and English lgatiicts under the guidance of such in- vincible leaders as Gladstone, Washington, and Lincoln. The thrilling incidents-the world knows them by heart. Who has not heard of Runnymede and Marston Moor, of Jamestown and Plymouth. Rock, of Lexington and Bunker Hill, of Shiloh and Appomat- tox, of Manila Bay and San Juan Hill? They are among the sublimest scenes in history and are known Wherever the love of Libeity throbs in human breasts. Would you know the debt of civilization to the Saxon? Learn it from the millions, with happy hearts and happy homes, over whom stream the Starry Banner and the crim- son folds of the Union Jackg learn it from the sounds of falling shackles and the crash- ing of despotic thronesg learn it from the blood stained land of the Czars, where men, liberty-inspired, are striving to be freeg learn it from the men of courage and independ- ence battling today against political corruption and corporate greed: learn it from the songs of joy and praise swelling into a mighty anthem from the voices of multitudes that were oppressed. Not Angles, but Angels, said the sainted Au- gustine as he gazed upon the fair countenances of those children of the northern seas, He spake truer than he knew, for they have been angels of ligh-t and of mercy, bearing to the ignorant and the stricken victims of earth's cruelty, the light of liberty and the blessings of peace. A glorious past! But what do the years of the future say? Does the logic of history teach that decline must surely come? Has Saxon civilization reached its mid-day splen- dor and are its gloiies soon to fade? Is the bitterness of class hatred, the arrogance and anarchy of wealth, the jealousy and revenge of the poor, the viciousness of the sub- merged tenth, the ideal-destroying spirit of commercialism to undermine and destroy Saxon institutions? Is that awakened giant of the East, whose clade is still wet with the blood of the Slav, to be the world power in the centuries to come? No, this is not the message proclaimed from the battlements cf the world's tomorrow. Internal dan- ge.s, the blighting forces of past nations, will not prevail against the preserving elements of Saxon civilization. Avarice and corruption and oppression must succumb to Saxon justice and liberty. Representative Government has within itself the true forces of per- petuity. Nor do external dangers threaten. No other race has such strength and prom- ise. None can hope to destrop Saxon supremacy. The breezes of the morning bring no note of despair. Decay will not come. Saxon ideas are eternal, and Saxon civilization will endure. 125 KANSAS STATE INTER-COLLEGIATE ORATORICAL ASSOCIATION. Officers: JOHN BIGGER, President .................. College of Emporia.

In debating as in other branches of school activity Baker's record is truly envi- able. In all her history sh-e has met with defeat but twice. Last year she won the Hnal championship of the Kansas-Iowa-Nebraska debating league by defeating Morn- ingside College of Sioux City, Iowa. This year four debates have been arranged, with K. U., Washburn, Southwest Kansas College, and Upper Iowa College. With such a record and such opportunity, Baker may well attract those who aspire to excellence on the platform. 127 X X An FV Defeated Kansas U niversity. As Jaxx Winfield Debaters.

It is the only organization in the University which unites all men, of all creeds and beliefs, tor the moral and religious betterment of the whole institution. Its aim is to get men better acquainted with Jesus Christ, to solve the problems that bother every college man, and to lead new men to see that the Christian life is the only true lifeg it furnishes the oplzortunity for the development of all those qualities that go to make up strongest manhood. During the rapid growth of the University the past few years, the association has been alive to its new opportunities, and in the past year has so changed and extended its work that a student of a few years ago would hardly believe it to be the same associa- tion to which he belonged while in college. For the HISI time in our history we have a Y. M. C. A. house, in the parlors of wh-ich are held our monthly cabinet meetings, coniinittee 1neetings,Bible classes, and the week- 154 7 ly devotional meetings held on Thursday evenings from 7 to 7:45. This new house has given much new interest and enthusiasm to the work in all departments. There are special mass meetings held in the Presbyterian church every other Sun- day. These meetings are addressed by out-of-town speakers, and the results have been very satisfactory indeed. At the annual Missionary rally in the fall 3180.00 was raised, which was sent to one of our alumni, Ben Baker, now in India. The Bible Classes are well organized, the two largest classes being in the two lead- ing Fraternity houses. These classes are great sources of strength for all who enter, and are indispensible to the active, vigorous Christian young man. We are, for the first time, offering a short lecture course of two numbers. The pro ceeds from which, will meet the new expenses of our house. The social department has been very active this year, and, other than managing the lecture course, are offering the two social functions. The first was a i'College Pow Wow, given January 10. All the men of the University were invited to come, dressed in Indian costume, and the majority of them accepted the invitation. The other function will be a banquet for the members and their ladies only, and will be given near the close of the winter term. , We are not only interested in the work here in college, but keep in touch with the movement in its national and international scope. Four delegates were sent to the Lake Geneva Conference last summer. Five, our full quota, will be sent to the Inter- national Convention, at Nashville, Tenn., and we are hoping to send a score or more to the State Convention at Chanute in February. May the work grow more rapidly in the coming year than it has in the past and more new men learn to take Jesus Christ into their daily lives. ., . X V, X is a . V E .

No organization of the school means more to the majority of the Baker girls than h. does the Y. W. C. A. with its constant inspiration to better, truer life. Our members ip is one hundred and eighty and our budget for 1905-'06 is two hundred dollars. The devotional meetings held in th-e Presbyterian Church each Sunday afternoon average one hundred and five in attendance. The Missionary Committee has charge of one devotional meeting each month and conduct weekly mission study classes in which ninety-five girls are enrolled. In the 1n- terest of this great cause twenty girls are now members of the Student Volunteer Band. The Bible Study Committee have enrolled two hundred girls in daily Bible study and in keeping the Morning Watch. The social life of the school is kept purer by the work of that committee. The Inter-collegiate Committee keeps the Association in touch with other Associa- tions of the State. Four Girls attended the Summer Conference at XVaterloo and twenty-eight girls prof- ited by the State Convention at Manhattan. 156 STUDENT VOLUNTEER BAND. Members: Frank A. Brown. Phoebe James. Mary Kessler. Dora VVagner. Edsall B. Knepp. Fanny Lacy. Mary Richmond. Ethel Huston. Roy R. Reppert. Clare Evans. Jeanette Walter. Bernice Lough. Robert S. Cault. Jessie Beauchamp. The Volunteer Band was organized in Baker University in the spring of 1901, and was composed of six membeisg each with a clear and definite conviction that his work lay in the Mission field. The Student Volunteer Movement is not a local one, but is world-wideg the local band being but a small unit of the great mass of students who have turned their atten- tions toward this Evangelical Enterprise. The increased interest in the study of Missions among the students is due, largely, to the energetic effoits of the Band, and a greater zeal for the 'Evangelization of the world in his generation has been aroused. The membership here in Baker has grown from six to twenty-two, seven of whon. are now engaged in active Christian Work. Among these we would mention May C. Widney, who is under appointment for Lucknow, Indiag Rev. J. M. Dunlavy among the foreign population of Frontenac, Kansasg and Ray L. Torrey who will soon sail for Chinn. 157 A ,...- ..---...

The Inter-collegiate Prohibition Association was organized about four years ago to meet the sad lack of wide, practical, and thoughtful knowledge on the prohibition ques- tion and the social and political principles relating to the overthrow of the liquor traf- fic. The purpose of the Association is to enlist students for service against the liquor trailic. The work of the association consists of two comprehensive, far-reaching depart- ments, its study system, and its contest system. A two-years' course is pursued in a systematic study on practical topics covering all the important phases of the liquor ques- tion. The contest system embraces local, state, interstate, and national contests. It is the largest system ever put into successful operation among the colleges of he United States. lt offers wider opportunity for competition and honors in that it brings togeth- er all the colleges and universities of the country in which there are organizations into one system. It offers higher honors, in that, ill more colleges and states belong to it than to any other, and, C23 it extends one step higher than any other college oratorical system. The Baker League meets twice a month. The programs consist of addresses de- bates, papers, etc., on the prohibition question, and discussion on the regular study topics. 158 THE DIVINITY CLUB.

HENRY. When Bishop Vincent, on his recent visit to the University, addressed the minis- terial students, Dr. Murlin suggested that some permanent organization be formed by the ministers, the prospective ministers and other Christian Workers of the University. Thereupon at the call and under the direction of Dr. Patton, the Divinity Club was formed for the purpose of obtaining training and discussing the vital problems of the Church and ministerial life. It is also the purpose of this organization to assist its mem- bers in such Christian activities as they may be engaged in. In the establishment and continuance of this new club it is hoped that a long-felt need will be iilled. The organization meets twice a month regularly and will have called meetings when it is found possible to arrange for special speakers. 159 f7 f!1 J K J f X 4, O ,J Q we fijsg KZTL7 of , f 'W 1 K, QQ 1 751 WWW sfzf l i l J 2 LQ Qs Q3 THE STREWER OF FI.

' And when I was sad and disheartened And daik were the clouds in the sky, When the sunshine of hope had departed, And shadows encircled the eye,- Then too my heart was delighted At the presence of sweet, budded bowers, And I wakened, my soul unbenighted, And thou wast the strewer of iiowers. Then thanks, many thanks for the strewer, And thanks for the ilowers they strewg For these have life's hardships grown fewer And hopeless despondents more fewg For into what shadows of blindness Would sink this old world of our's, Were it not for these angels of kindness, Were it not for the strewer of flowers?

The last few years have seen rapid strides in its advancement until we rank among the best. The team of 1904, under the eiiicient coaching of Mills Ebright, was veiy successful, and ended the season as College State Champions. Last year even greater success was achieved, and again our team was awarded the Championship. We are justly proud of our past record, but we have every reason to believe that this year's team will make a more glorious one. RECORD OF 1905. HOWARD MOORE ........................ ..... M anager.

NE of the most beneficial as well as pleasant phases of the college life of the Baker University girl is the gymnasium work, which is conducted in one of the most splendidly equipped and modern gymnasiums in the West. In spite of the fact that the gym work of the present is a comparatively new feature -being established on its present basis in 1901-we have just cause to be particularly proud of the progress made along this line in so short a time. This department is under the able direction of Miss Ada Heaton, who is up-to-date in her methods and is a most competent instructor. Gym work is required of all physically able girls below the Junior and Senior collegiate years, but for many the work is so fascinating that they choose it as an elective throughout their Junior and Senior years. Believing that health and happiness go hand in hand-the course is so arranged as not to go beyond the physical endurance or overtax the strength of any girl. At the end of each spring term, an exhibition is given of the work done by the dif- ferent classes. These exhibitions are for the public and are of equal interest to the girls taking part and to the audience. Many of the girls are very enthusiastic tennis players. Having several courts at our disposal, much time is spent in this healthful game. It is hoped that in the near future a tennis tournament by the girls may be an annual occurence in the history of Baker University. While the girls are much interested in tennis and the regular gymnasium work-it is the basket ball game which is most fascinating to the Baker girl. Each of the colleg- iate classes has its own basket ball team and at different times of the year, inter-class games are played, in which each college class competes for the Sanderson cup. Th-is cup, which is held by the winning class for one year, is now in the possession of the class of 1908. From the class teams, the first and substitute teams are chosen. This year, with Miss Myrtle Quantic, Miss Maude Brigham, Miss Olla Cramer, Miss Grace McMur- ry and Miss May Annadown as players on the first team, we have a winning team. The B.

To such as have found Hugo a man with a message plus a man with a heart, words of laudation readily lurch to the lips and are with diiiiculty suppressedg but the saner statement is always the truer statement, and Hugo is not a god but quite a man and a truly French man. His explanatory cause is France. Hugo is colossal in his temperamental make-up, in his egotism, in his power of springing to idees rather than walking to them, in his O deify a man is, in my observation, easier than to give him just characteriza- , , , L g ejaculatory method of seeing and saying things, in his vividness of comprehension, in his utter lack of stolidity or even placidity, in his incongruousness both in literary effort and in character, in his varied and tumultuous hates, in his more varied and tumultuous lovesg and who understands him will need to bear these things always in his mind. Hugo was not only a Frenchman, but a Frenchman of the nineteenth century. Tho Napoleonic bugles blew in his ears at birth, and that icy colossus, Napoleon Bonaparte, stood cragged and rugged above the mentality of Hugo all the days of his life. Napo leon III. was always to Hugo, Napoleon the Little, not quite because Napoleon III. was little but because Napoleon I. was vast. Hugo was French enough to be forever anthi- thetical and was hot-blooded enough aside from his racial proclivities to forever deal in superlatives. These things are not named as faults, but as facts. These things Hugo was. To be ob- livious of them is to fail in comprehension of the man. To allow them and adjust our- selves to them is to put a key into the hand which shall unlock the wide and beautiful door of this man's manly and literary achievements. Hugo was poet and his poems, aside from his dramas, read gently or wildly like a summer evening or a gust of north- ern tempest. But, to Americans, Hugo is not Victor Hugo, poet, nor Victor Hugo, dra- matist, but Victor Hugo, novelist. And if a body were called on to say in a phrase the thought which clouds him when he is done with Hugo's novels, that phrase would be this: Here was a man who loved man for man's sake. Hugo was full brother to Charles Dickens in thisg and therefore, Hugo and Dickens are quite safe forever in the loves of mankind. VVe will not forget themg for we cannot so long as our hearts endure and so long as the love of life for 1ife's great sake blooms out like dandelion flowers among the grasses of the earliest spring. Whoso introduces us therefore to the tempestuous heart of Hugo renders us ser- vice that does us good. He was lurid, but so are the lightnings. He was frenzied, but 131 so are the thunders. He was turbulent, but so are the seas that yeast in storm. But his heart was talking, and his heart took his hand and wrote, and in whatsoever book of his we are, we are still among les miserables. This is why Hugo maintains and retains popularity among Americans. His instinct is the human instinct which is the American instinct. Hugo's heroes are such a contribution to the life of the world as that they never can be done without. In another place I have at length written my heart conceptions of these heroesg and so no word for them here save only to say that they have come to stay because they ought. The first time I was in Paris I went to the Pantheon, and though a year and more had vanished since the people had buried Victor Hugo there, I found the dusky room in which he lay forever asleep, piled with flowers that though they were withered seemed not to have withered with the passing of the year. And these will be emblematical of the man and his service. Because he grew flowers in his heart, and for the heart, those flowers can never wither, but remain as flowers at summer daybreaks, pearled with dew. -William A. Quayle. 7?

ANY of our young men and women, when urged to enter a college under the auspicfs of our church, because it is a Christian institution, ask, Why seek this so-called Christian education? There are three considerations leading many and strongly tempting others, both parents and their sons and daugh- ters, to take the position that the reasons are not sufficient. They assume that it is the function of the church and the hcme to provide Chris- tian culture, while it is the distinctive function of the college to provide intellectual cul- ture. This assumption would be valid weie it possible effectively to sepai ate Christian culture from intellectual, social, political, and commercial activities. But it cannot be separated. Truly effective Christian culture can be conducted only as an attendant of life's activities. Especially is it impossible to separate the belief element from intel- lectual activities. The study and interpretation of science, literature, history, philosophy, politics, society, and art affords exceptional opportunities for Christian education. Furth- ermore there is in college a very abundant and responsive social life. If positive Chris- tian culture does not attend this life, in all probability anti-Christian culture will. A second determining consideration is that our colleges are so poor financially that they can very imperfectly provide books, apparatus and other means to do highly efficient educational work. Within limits this is a very important consideration. Under some circumstances it might even justify our young people in going elsewhere. On the other hand the practical eliiciency of a college does not vary directly as the extent and at- tractiveness of its equipment. Experience has made plain that a comparatively small, but adequate wbrking library and apparatus, sheltered in plain buildings, with a small, but efficient faculty, to direct personally the activities of students, may produce even better results than the institution with more extensive and attractive equipment. Again, many think that a lively interest in religion and loyalty to our church do not demand any sacrifice of educational opportunity simply to SIIDDOIT. a denominational in- stitution. We may admit the soundness of this position while denying the implication. All things considered, is there a sacrifice? ls there not rather a gain? Christian education must be in educational values all that any education should be. In addition, its ever present purpose is to charge these values through and through with. the truth of Christ. It aims so to handle these values as to relate them to Chris- tian faith. Side by side with their planting and culture, it aims to plant and cultivate in the student that mind which was in Christ Jesus. Why seek such an education? All the reasons for seeking any education are equally good reasons for seeking a Christian education. The following suggestions call at- 184 tention to some cf the ieasons for seeking a Christian education. 1. To maintain Christian faith -To go through college is to experience a recon- struction of faith.. Many old beliefs, as such, must peiish, new beliefs must take their place. Old conccptions of religion, character, and conduct must be displaced by new. This expeiicnce is not peculiar to any particular class of colleges. In any college the change will take place if the educaticn takes effect. lt is all important that as the old perishes faith shall be neither unduly shocked nor hopelessly paralyzed. It is also im- portant that as the new takes the place of the old, it shall be not only truly Christian, but even stronger, moie intelligent, more vital, more enthusiastic than the old. It is a fact, too commonly disregarded, that no person is so influential in determining the quali- ty of the new faith as he under whose leadership in education the old broke down. lf this leadership is genuinely Christian, there is great probability that the reconstructed faith will be truly Christian. lf it be anti-Christian, there is equal probability that the new faith will be anti-Christian. 2. To maintain and further develop Christian character.-Education is a process of Character building as well as cf knowledge getting. More, no equal number of years in life means so much for character as the years in college. The Christian college puts high premium on genuine Christian character by providing sympathetic Christian leadership in every detail cf the educational process, by making prominent Christian ideals and standards, by making every effort to keep the social life of students free from impure and weakening conditions and influences, in short by making the entire life of the college such as will inspire to and assist in developing Christian character. 3. To articulate one's self with the Christian conception of society.-Christian peo- ple hold that Jesus' conception cf society is both, the best and the ultimate. A man will become powei ful to embody Jesus' conception in society as he himself becomes actively, vitally, spontaneously adjusted to that conception. The life of the Christian college community aims to and in a large measure does embody Jesus' conception. To live as a sympathetic member of such a community duiing the plastic years of college life is to meet conditions most favorable for articulating with the Christian idea of society. 4. To assist in perpetuating institutions of Christian education.-The college holds a central place in the life of our time. It will certainly maintain this position. lt's wisdom as well as true Christian service for Christian people to do all they can to keep this important institution Christian in character. To this end no more telling ser- vice can be rendered than personal patronage. S. A. LOUGH. 185 f ug? N4-ijt 77435 11 1 Q GQ?

P. M. 187 THE LONELY GRAVE. BOUT a half mile south of Baldwin is a cemetery, old and neglected. The loit- ering stroller who tarries there, and once feels its peculiar charm, is surprised l to learn th-at it is both unused and uncared for. But when inquiry reveals the deplorable fact that, in spite of high elevation and fine slope, new made graves soon fill with water, its abandonment, though still lamentable, is fraught but reasonable. Indeed, it is a cause of much regret to him who loves the serene and picturesque that this beautiful spot must be given over to disuse and neglect. And yet its long ne- glect is largely the secret of its present attractivenessg for here the free and natural course of flower, blade and foliage is undisturbed. The picket fences and railings around many of the graves, long yielding to the ravages of worm and weather, are fast crumbling and falling to the ground. The peony and verbena, planted perhaps by many of those from whose very graves their perfume now rises like incense from sacred altars, have yearly given their seeds to the winds cf autumn, until the entire place is adorned with their clustered beauty. Large patches of clover and daisies, fairly flinging their odor into the face of the beholder, seem vying with one another for mastery of this al- most enchanted rcalm. Long rows of untrimmed pine and cedar, to which nearly a half century of unmolested growth has given princely stature and stateliness, add majesty to an otherwise charming spot. Having the gift of beauty, this place is not without music. Aye, indeed, it is a very Mycc-a for all the feathered songsters of sky and Wood. And though. they sing 'to si- lent, unapplauding audience, their song is none the less sweet. The blue bird greets the marching morning with clear and merry saluteg the noisy wren keeps time with the hun: of mid-day toil, and the night-bird sings the requiem of departing day. All is song and beauty here-the best and grandest that moth-er nature affords. One summer evening when the sunset's golden glow was deepening into purple twi- light, I wandered slowly through this hallowed place until I came upon a lonely, un- kept grave. Apart from the rest, yet protected by the ai ms of a mighty pine, it had :1 singular charm for me. Pausing a moment, I was soon enrapt in its spell. The sense of longing and regret with which this spct iilled me I shall not soon forget. The isolation oppressed me with its utter abandonment and loneliness. A mourning dove upon the headstone sobbed and sighed like a lost child alone with the stillness of the night. The nearby primrose, sparkling with dewdrols, turned its pale, tear-stained face down into the grave as if it wept o'er a friend forever gone. And to make thc gloom press heavier upon me and the sadness more aching, the soft, wierd whistle of thc evening wind that swept through the pine and o'er the grave seemed like the wild moan of an unrepent- ing soul. 183 But this gloom was soon to pass. As the dusk of the dying day faded before the sil- ver splendor of star-lit night, the gloomy feeling which first oppressed me was succeeded by a happier mood. For as I gazed at the profusion of flowers about and the 1:ine's rich foliage above, th-e thought struck me what a peaceful resting place when life's troubled dream is o'er, pillowed on a couch of roses, under a bower of perpetual green. No, to lie dead in such a spot was not an altogether drear and frightful thought. The blos- soms that faithless friends forget to place above the folded hands, kind nature doth bring in rich abundance. The lullaby the dead mother cannot sing to her sleeping child, the meadow lark softly sings in her evening melody. And so, as I left this hallowed habita- tion of the dead, I felt that there was no need of tears for this bit of clay, no need of sorrow for this little mound. Rich in naturels beauty, rich in nature's music, rich in na- ture's friendship, the dead in this sacred place fairly excite the envy of the living. -Perl Barton. fx 'Nqv - 6154? G Q!

At eight o'clock the debate is held in Centenary Hall. Lee Trotter, Ray Green, and E. E. Woods speak for Baker, and John Hughes, Imri Zumwalt, and John Dadisman, for Washburn. The decision is two to one for the visitors. The day has been so pleasant that arrangements for a similar event at Topeka, for next year have been made. May the two schools always have such friendly feeling as was manifest at these two contests. The Glee Club sings at the South Kansas Conference at Iola. 25. We are entertained by Katherine Ridgeway Concert Co. on the B. U. L. A. 27. The beginning of a great change in the literary societies of Baker is made by the organization of the Promethean literary society. For twenty-three years there have been four societies, but owing to the in- creasing number of students it is thought best to provide more oppor- tunity .for literary work. The new society is composed of Biblical and Athenian men, twenty-one from each society. 29. The last Basket Ball game is played, on our floor, with the Kansas City Y. M. C. A. Score, 37 to 26 for Ba- ker. While our team has not won as many games as we would wish, it has been because of the excel- lency of their opponents and not their own failure. Every man play- ed good ball and the course of games w-as well supported by the students. ' APRIL. Joe Reisner is generous with his choc olates. The House of Hanover decides to pub- lish an Annual. Baker can defeat the Indians in base ball if not in basket ball: 14 to 5. The Tri Delta Sorority girls enter- tain their friends at the home of Rev. D. E. Hoover. The Biblicals drop the anti-frat clause from their Constitution. For years, this clause has been the foun dation stone of the society. Un- til recently there has been but one fraternity in school, and that a lo- cal organization, The Literary So- ciety was the greatest feature in Baker life and the boys o.f the Bib- lical Society felt that society unity and strength were impaired by the presence of the fraternity. With the coming of the National Frater- nity, however, most of the men came to the' conclusion that purely literary interests would no longer be dominant, and that the admis- sion of fraternities would be best for the members. So, after discus- ' ff ig E fiat. 's f 'H T awww iimsraecr , SSKULE . haf.-'KM '92 x 1 .L A fe nvidia 1 sion for the whole winter, the clause is stricken out. Baker plays base ball at Manhattan, defeating tfhe K. S. A. C. 7 to 4. The frats make their first inroads upon the new society. A member wears Delta Tau colors. The Catholics defeat Baker at S. Marys, 3 to 0. A play, The Deestrict Skewl at Blue- berry Corners , is given for the benefit of the Junior League of the M. E. Church. Grown people act the part of youngsters at school. The result is a very funny and lu- dicrous entertainment. The Bibs have their second prize debate .for the year. The Base Ball boys defeat the far- mers from Manhattan, 8 to 6. A Cantata The Rose Maiden , is given by the chorus, under direc- tion of Prof. McCutchan. The Uni- versity is very fortunate in having such an able instructor at the head of the vocal department. Prof. Mc- Cutchan has taken great pains with both Chorus and Glee Club, and the result is, that they have given two very iine musical recitals this year. He is the right man in the right place. 20. Eight Biblicals join the Kappa Sig- ma fraternity. 21. The Kappa Sigma men wear colors for the Biblicals initiated last night. It comes with a shock to those op- ed to fraternities, that now there are Bib Frat men. And the fact that the men have joined a fraternity whose other members are all Ath- enians, argues to them that society spirit is gone. With this idea in mind, they confer with some Ath- enian barbs who, likewise, like not the turn of affairs, and decide to build a cemetery for the Literary Societies. So, in the wee sma ' hours of the night, they heap up th-ree mounds and place, at the head of each, a card-board grave stone, with inscriptions to make plain their meaning. The stones are for the Biblical, Athenian, and Prome- thean Societies. The next morning, at chapel time, they occasion great 22 23 24 25 26 27 29 interest and afford amusement to all, frat and barb alike. The Baker colors are still flying after the ball game with K. U. Score, 6 to 3. At Liberty, Mo., Baker defeats Wm. Jewel 3 to 2. The Indians are beaten again at Has- kell. Score 6 to 5. Delta Taus wear colors for four Bibs and two Prometheans. Sopohomore caps make their ap- pearance. Spring holiday. Students spend the day in the woods. Alarmed that more of its members have joined an Athenian fraternity, the Anti-frat men in the Biblical Society make a united effort to re- scind the action that dropped the frat clause from the Constitution. A majority of the men are in favor, but they cannot force a. vote, and the session adjourns while they are still debating. M AY. 1. At eight o'clock a called meeting of the Biblical Society renews the fight over the frat clause. After several hours of rather interesting discus- sion, the motion to rescind is ta- bled. The barbs have made a strong iight, but the frats are victorious. King Arthur's Court always holds a May Day picnic. Today, they went to Butel's grove. Amid the frat scrap, the Promethe- ans are having their share of trou- ble. While they had intended to say nothing of fraternities, the action of some of the members, in joining a fraternity so soon after the so- ciety was organized, seemed out of place to many. As a result, an ef- fort is made to secure an anti-frat clause. Failing in this, eighteen men withdraw and begin plans for the formation of a society which sh-all embody their ideal. 2. Fairmount makes 4 runs, Baker 3. 4. Kansas, represented by Winfield. wins third place in the interstate or- atorical contest.

The Hanover Annual Board has its first meeting and begins plans for the Orange Blossom. The first formal meeting of the men who have withdrawn from the Bib- lical and Promethean Societies, to organize a new society. This so- ciety is formed on the foundation stone recently abandoned by the Biblicals, a non-fraternity clause. Meeetings are held each week after this, and, by the close of the term, the Constitution and By-Laws are adopted, name and motto chosen, and application made for a State Charter. The name is Amph-ctyon- ian g the motto, Xalepa Ta Kala Forty-four men are charter mem- bers. 8-11. The Base Ball team takes a trip, playing four games and winning two.

The Spring Term has brought changes such as have never before come in so short a time. Baker's enroll- ment has almost doubled in the last eight years, so, of course, the so- cial life has become more complex. A ball game with. St. Marys results in a score of 3 to 2 for the Catho- lics. 24. June 1. Commencement Exercises. 24. Graduation exercises of the Depart- ment of Public Speaking. 25.

In the evening, Mrs. May Engstrom Hoss gives the Annual Alumni ad- dress. At the meeting of the Board of Trustees, Prof. S. A. Lough tenders his resignation from the position as the head of the Greek Department. Prof. Lough has been connected with. the University, as student, tu- tor, and professor, for twenty-three years. In that time he has endear- ed himself to all who have known him. His earnest, sincere, Chris- tian precept and example have been an inspiration to hundreds of stu- dents. We shall not soon find a man to take his place in our col- lege life. JUNE. 1. The Commencement oration is deliv- ered by Hon. Chas. B. Landis to a class of forty-four, the largest class ever graduated here. Following the address, a luncheon is given in the gymnasium to the Seniors by the President and Faculty. School is out. 2.

The in- structors of the six-weeks' summer term are regular members of the faculty, and the work offered is de- termined by the wishes of the stu- dents. The opporunity thus offered has been greatly appreciated, not only by those desiring to perfect their classification, but also by school teachers, who by this means are enabled to pursue studies which are of value to them in their work. 26 Summer School Base Ball game. The school is divided into two opposing forces, representing the Japanese and Russians. The players are loy- ally supported by the ladies on the grand-stand, from which brilliant colors are iioating and enthusiastic yells are issuing. In this coniiict the Russians are victorious.

For over twenty years these two literary societies have met the demands for literary work among the Baker girls. The Aelio- ian Society was organized in 1879 with twelve charter members, but soon it was found that one society was insuflicient to accommodate the large number of girls desiring literary training, so in the year 1881 the Clionian Society was organized. 26 The Y.

Wise.-My neighbors, ye are all thrice welcome to my castle. Here are we safe from those who us oppose in the Assembly. Rusticus hath sharp eyes and still yet sharper ears, but even he cannot find out what here we do when once we're gathered safe within this fortress. But what's your wish. today, why come ye here? Pro.-My worthy host and all my friends, pay heed unto my words. Ye all do know that we're the leaders in our state. Were not for us, our glorious common-wealth with all its marvelous history would long ago have sunk into oblivion's pit. But we hold fast the helm and, in spite of all the vulgar rabble, do we guide her course aright. Now I've a measure to propose which, through 'twill cause to break afresh the strife with these barbarians, still will give us honor great and prestige everywhere. Shall I speak on? All Un unison.J-Imph-m! So let it be! Pro.-Since, then, ye ask me to proceed I shall resume. Ye know our state, suppos- edly, is one entire. Our boast hath been, for lo! these many years, that everyone hath equal voice in governmentg unrecognized is class. We have no parties to control our 1-olitics and all our state do meet in one Assembly, there to make the laws. But Bibdal state hath grown too large to be complete democracy. Th-e hoi polloi are not all wise enough to make the laws. Now lying to the north of us is Athnia, our sister state. She hath solved the problem and, would we but follow in her lead, We, too, may gain again our lost renown. They have two parties there and these do guide their politics. The one of these is Kapma called, the other one, Delau. Now I propose that we do seek that in our state we, too, may have such bands. All.-lmph-m! So let it be! Upto.-Good Progress, yours is but a plan which I, myself, have often thought we should by all means have. tTo the othersg And if ye all do think it best, we surely will present the plan when next the Assembly meets. All.-Imph-m! So let it be! Wise., Pro. and Upto.-And surely it shall be. 208 Curtain. SCENE 2.-Bibdal: The Assembly Chamber. . The Governor is in the chairg the Assembly is in session.

Gov.-Wh-at is the further pleasure of the House? 1 Citizen.-Your Highness, from the Bibdal state a score of men, this very day, with- drew. And now a score of men from our own state would go and these, with those from Bibdal state, another state would form. Therefore, I move that to each man who wants, a letter of dismissal shall be given. 2. Citizen.-That motion I do second. Gov.-Those who favor shall say Aye. All.-Aye. Gov.-Does anyone objectg let him say No. No one speaks. Gov.-The letters shall be given. The bell rings and they arise and go. SCENE 3.-The New State: The Assembly in Session. Gov.--My friends and fellow-citizens, we meet today to find us out a name for our new state. What have ye to propose? 1 Citizen.-Your Grace, if I may be allowed to speaki Gov.-Speak on, fear not. 1 Citizen.-I have a name which much I wish may be by us accepted. It hath a worthy sound and, when we into battle go, it will strike terror to the hearts of all our enemies. The name of which I speak is Promedon. All.-Imph-m! By that shall we be called! Gov.-Are ye all thus inclined? AII.--Imph-m! So let it be! Gov.-Sir Clerk, write you that down. It shall be Promedon. 2 Citizen.-Your Grace, may I now speak? Gov.-You, sir, have now the fioor. 2 Citizen.-Ye all do know how those in Bibdal state, political parties never have allowed, while men of Athnia have. What shall We do in Promedon? 3 Citizen.-Why let them in of course. 4 Citizen.-Umphfm! Let us, too, keep them out. 2 Citizen.-I have pondered o'er this question much and seems to me the best that we can do is to say nothing of them in our laws but have it understood that we discour- age them. 210 Some.-Imph-m! So let it be! Others.-Umph-m! VVe ought to keep them out. Enter messenger. Mess.-Ye men, now hear my words. 1'm sent to tell you that one of your citizens hath joined the party, named Delau, Whose other members all reside in Athnia. Some.-Indeed, he hath a level head. Others.-The traitor, scoundrel, knave! We must go find him and throw him in deep Lake Parmenter. The Assembly breaks up in confusion. ACT III. SCENE 1.-Bibdal: The Assembly in Session. Gov.-Sir Clerk is any business yet unfinished? Clerk.-Your Excellency, there is this question of the parties which we've discussed th-e entire year. It's still before the Assembly. Gov.-What will ye do with the Amendment? Pro.-Your Excellency and Bibdal men, it seems to me we long enough have wran- gled. I cannot understand how anyone could be opposed to the forming of these parties. They add prestige great to any state, and though in Athnia the men of Kapma strive with men belonging to Delau, their victories are in the name of Athnia, their state. And in addition to this fact, each. man of Kapma Wears a feather in his cap that's colored red and White and green. Also the party of Delau permits its men to Wear feathers that are dyed in purple, White and gold. All we indeed, have always longed to wear such feathers gay.. and that to us will granted be if we this change shall make. Rust.-Your Excellency, I am opposed to the wearing of these feathers. They make a class distinction, and the man who fails to have them will be marked, and he barbarian will be called. Ye all do think that, just so soon as we this change shall make, all the parties of the land will rush pell-mell to you and ask you all to join. But they will not. They promise much when they desire your vote, but when the vote is counted you will have the sack to hold. 1,111 much opposed to this. Back.-And I'am, too, opposed. Upto.-Your Excellency, I do propose that we strike out the clause entire and say not any Word about the parties. lf we do limit all our parties to the men of our own state, we shall have trouble when We try to get men here to come. They'd rather go to Athnia and join the larger party. So then I move that We amend by striking out the clause entire. 211 Wise.-And I do second that. Gov.-All those who favor striking out the clause that now forbids these parties will please rise. The Sargeant will please count. About sixty men rise. Gov.-Will those opposed please rise. About a dozen stand. Gov.-Sir Sargeant, what's the count? Sar.-Sixty for and twelve against. Gov.-The clause no longer forms a part of Bibdal Constitution. Some.-Hurrah! hurrah! now we are up to date! - Others.-Alas! alas! our state is now no more! The bell rings and they leave. SCENE 2.-Bakania: The G-rand Council at the Capitol. Kapma men enter, wearing their red, white and green feathers. Among them are WISEMAN, PROGRESS, UPTOSNUFF and a few other Bibdal men. Back. fto Rusticus.J-Note you dear Rusticus how Bibdal men have joined the men of Athnia? I say it is a shame, for who can tell but they'll betray our secrets to the enemy. Rust.--And I, beloved Backwoods, quite agree that so it should not be. Now do l fear that our beloved state is dead. But what's to do? Back.-I know that there are many men in Athnia, itself, who gladly would see all these parties banished from our land, by edict of the Legislative Body great, which meets each year in December and June. Suppose we meet with them, and see if we cannot de vise a plan, at least to show to all the nation what we think of this disgrace. Rust.-Imph-m! That plan is great. We'l1 meet, then, at my Castle. Come at twelve o'clock tonight. The President announces a hymn, the Court musician begins to play and the Coun- cil has convened. 212 , 531 Z-'Q 7 'j Af-flffify. Mill . SCENE 1.-Bibdal: The Castle of Rusticus. He is seated. Enter BACKWOODS, OUTOFDATE, KICKER GROWLER, SOREHEAD, and others both of Bibdal and Athnia There is also a marble-cutter with his tools. Back.-Dear Rusticus, in talking with our friends from Athnia, we have decided that the best Way we can manifest our thought, is to have this good cutter cut for us some stones which we may set up to commemorate our state. What th-ink you to 't frienal Growler? Growl.-Imph-m! The plan is good. And make ye one for Athnia as Well, for we are sorely troubled by these parties and have been for many years. While Bibdal state lay to the south to hold them some in check it was not quite so bad. But now that they have entered there our state is also dead. Kick.-And Promedon, but lately formed, hath! also hurt received. Out.-Imphern! Alas! ,tis true that all the states are dead-destroyed at the hands of Kapma and Delau!

ND it came to pass in the days when Lemuel the Murlin reigned in the land that a band of men and women from the district settled by Romans were 111 high favor at court. In other parts of the land were Germans, Saxons, and Americans and the greatest rivalry existed as must needs be where so many tribes live in the same country. Each tribe, therefore, zealously strove for favor at the court, but the Romans were held Hrst and received great attention from all the King's council. Therefore, when the Romans saw that they were the highly favored at the court, they got all puffed up. Yea, they began to despise the other tribes, and stuck their tongues in their cheeks saying, Behold! we are it! And they thought to become a pe- culiar people by adopting a different style of dress, so they got them robes of black and a curious headgear, flat like a board, stuck on top of the head. Moreover, the men scrup- led not to wear the same kind of garb as the women, so that, oftentimes, the untutored Saxon beheld a Roman coming and bared h-is head and stood in submissive silence be- fore the supposed lady, only to be startled by a rude Hi! from a rough man. Nor did the Romans think it enough that they thus excelled their neighbors, but they began to vaunt themselves in the eyes of the world as better than the King and his council. With the basest of ingratitude, they planned a way whereby they thought to bring to ridicule their benefactors. Now there was a game which they played with other tribes, a very intricate game. It was played with a sphere covered with the tanned hide of a horse, the game being to knock this sphere a long distance by means of a club, and, while th-e opposing side pur- sued it, the one who knocked it strove to run around a course, and get back to the place from which he started. These Romans, therefore, very wisely began to practice on this game, choosing their best players, men who were famed as athletes, and soon they were very proficient in hitting and pursuing the sph-ere. Then, with great display, they composed a letter to be sent to the council, demanding that the Honorable Body show their iitness by a contest in the game of the sphere. Now Lemuel the Murlin was in distant lands seeking some alliance with other po- tentates. But there was left his grand vizier, a wise and crafty man, Charles, also called Sylvester. This Charles, being ias I have saidl a crafty man and wise, did not reply at once to the demand, but the council was called together and the matter was laid before them. 216 For, it must be observed, that the members of the King's council were not athletes but statesmen, and they had not practiced on the game which was proposed. The blood which supplied the rich glossy locks, the keen eye, and the brawny muscle of the young Romans, had been used by the councilmen to build up grey matter in the brain, so some had lost their hair, others must needs wear huge pieces of glass before their eyes, and no one had an over supply of brawn. But what muscle cannot accomplish wisdom can bring about. Therefore, when Charles Sylvester had prepared an answer to the Romans' Challenge, he stated certain rules by which the game should be played. And this answer was as follows: Hear ye, O, Romans! Thus hath the Great Council decreed! Ye shall not use the men ye have chosen, but we shall choose the men whom ye shall use, and state where they shall play. Ye may so choose and station those who shall play for us. Only nine times shall either side send men around the course before the opposing side may have a chance to run around. When two hours shall have passed from the time the game begins, the game shall cease, regardless of the progress of the game. Ye men of Rome, will ye these terms accept? Now when the crafty Charles had spoken the decree, there was a great groaning among the Romans. Germans, Saxons, and Americans shouted loud huzzas. Verily, it was a staggering blow for the Romans. They rent their clothes and sat them down in sack cloth and ashes. Yea! they cried aloud in anguish, but the only answer to their wail was the croaking of the bull frog from dark Lake Parmenter. The crafty Charles Sylvester had caught them on the hip. But the pride that goeth before destruction be- longed to the Romanspsso they sa.id Yea i So, therefore, when the day arrived when the contest was to be, the whole country gathered at the Royal Park to'witness. And it came to pass that the heavens were op- ened and the fountains of the deep were unstopped, so that much water was upon the face of the earth. Nevertheless, neither the Romans nor the King's Council were soluble in water so the game was begun. From the third hour even until the fifth, did the battle rage sore. Verily, the play- ers were men of brain rather than of skill. Much did the witnesses laugh to see the vain severing of the atmosphere in an attempt to hit the sphere, or the patience with which the learned men searched for it in the tall grass. Mighty curves were thrown but they resembled the rairybow and not the cork-screw. The Romans were exceedingly noisesome and one might think that they really hoped to win, but when the fifth hour came, they had run around the course one and thirty times while the Council had run five and thirty. Therefore, the Romans did cease their lordly ways and become very tame. Indeed in later years, an ancient proverb was changed to read: As wise as Charles the Crafty and as harmless as a Roman. 217 is ..!+ , , .,. ,J -of 5 I 171 F N NEK r x 1 wwffi w'L'm4e - HMQJHXBWUNHHN 5f5lfC,,L X ,V ..

Editer' Orange Blossom: You have requested me to write a few brief articles telling what I know of the his- tory,.of Baker University. In compliance with your request I enclose the following: Having for many years taken an active interest in college affairs and having gath- ered many hundreds of old catalogues, annuals, and college papersg after a careful pe- rusal of the same I am able to grant your request. The writer feels his lack of literary ability and desires to enlist the sympathy of your readers, for the honest, yet not alto- gether fruitful efforts he has employed, to bring about this retrospect of the past. I greet you today as a splendid university of seven thousand students, a century and a half ago your members were but a few hundred. There were less than twenty professors. Some were ladies, now your instructors number several hundred and all are men. Vast and sweeping have been the changes in your institution and in the com- monwealth at large. Everything has been modified in social, financial, political, and re- ligious fields. A brief survey of history in your own state will not be inappropriate as preface to the narrative of events on the old college campus. Ingalls has passed into history as. the poet-statesman. Carrie Nation has furnished volumes of material for humorous writ- ers which present as interesting stories as the myths of old did to the children of her day. Governor Iioch has lived in the chronicles of the state, his name ever venerated with honor. Henry Allen ran for Congress and won the cup. For twenty years he stood in legislative halls, fought for the right and poured his cup of blessings on fair old Kan- sas. Joseph L. Bristow after serving his country in many ways was elected United 220 States Senator and finally Vice President of the nation. His long and useful life was closed in venerable old age, he was gathered to his fathers and slept the sleep of the just. William Allen White became editor and owner of the New York World on the death of Joseph Pulitzer. He also held a controlling interest in the Atlanta Constitution and San Francisco Chronicle. He will ever live in the galaxy of fame, commemorated for his literary work and inspiration derived from the wind swept plains of Kansas. Natural resources proved Kansas the 'iexhaustless granary of the world the cattle on a thousand hills and every foot of the prairies verdant with grain attest the richness of our land. The early struggles against corporate greed are items of history known to all, The Standard Oil Company was banished from our domain. Gas is burned in every home, and the student's oil lamp is found a relic in Baker University Museum. Street cars and railroads form a complete network throughout the state. In your museum you will find an old stage coach once owned and operated by a man named Kinzer. He car- ried passengers between the railroad station and Baldwin City. But now let us turn to your college and allow me to narrate what I have been able to gleam through my long life, and from books and chronicles. Your university has had many presidents. Among the first to rise to prominence in life was one-a red-headed, stern, hard working man known as William A. Quayle. He iinally became a Bishop and spent his last days amid the beautiful scenes of Switzerland where his aesthetic nature could revel in calm content. Next came Dr. Lemuel Herbert Murlin. His polished man- ners, industrious habits, calm thinking, and money enticing power won him much dis-- tinction and many blessings of hard cash dough for the then feeble college. His good wife, whose intellectual aid and charming spirit was his strongest support, won many friends among the students. Judge Case, whose efforts in primitive times gave your now immense library a footing, was President of the Board of Trustees and passed to his rest with the honors of the world upon him. Some later presidents were renowned for their work and learning, among these was a son of Editor William Markham. In 1953 much interest was excited by a president of Harvard resigning and accepting the presidency at Baker, where he would enjoy increased opportunities and a larger field of usefulness. One remarkable old janitor, Mr. Ruchty grew old during his labors at Baker. In his last days he received afpension and the gift of a beautiful residence on the shores of Lake Parmenter, where he spent his declining years in peace. Among the early pastors who cared for the spiritual interests of the student body was the undaunted Hammons with his sorrel top, Dr. Murphy, who parted his hair in the middle, and Rev. Pulliam who at the call of duty rescued the eternal kingdoms from ruin, and put the pernicious higher- critics to flight. An early record of the faculty shows that some interesting profs occupied the platform in the old college days. Chief of the immortals was Dr. Parmenter. His inter- esting life would cover several chapters. We can give but a few sentences to this re- markable personage. He was industrious and active even to old age. In quickness none could surpass him. ,During his day all pillows were discarded from the class room. Stud- ents coming to recite had no time to sleep. He was feared by the Freshmen, loved by the Sophomoresg idolized by the Juniors: and caressed by the Seniors. Like many an- other genius he possessed the iiowing locks of Samson. Interested in literature, he was the author of many -books, among these, the most popular are Things I saw in Arkan i 221 saw, and Students I have Flunkedf' The latter was printed with a black margin. His buggy endured forty years of service and his ponies twenty-seven. The vehicle was 'dn- ally dismantled by his posterity and one wheel was placed in the museum. It can be found in class A, section I., first iioor of the building. Dr. Samuel Lough. for many years held the chair of Greek. Later he went East to pursue a course of study. Afterward, he was chosen professor of theology in the Uni- versity of Berlin. A tall marble shaft is poised on the campus in the memory of his noble life and the truths he taught. Orsen Grant Markham held the chair of Latin until that language ceased to be taught. In its stead was substituted a study of Missouri dialects and Mr. Delbert Hulse was called to this position. Prof. Markham endeared himself to the students in general. He was a man of marked characteristics, youthful in appearance, satirical in speech, calm in action. The story obtains that on examination day he wielded the pitiless scim- eter with unflinching nerve. But he was kind-hearted and often regretted his severity. On one instance we are told that he escaped through a small hole, when all oth-er means of exit was cut off, by simply remembering how he had ilunked some honest students. A certain Prof. Bauer was renowned for his learning in science. He overcame the force of gravitation, and migrated to the moon, from thence to Mars and then to Jupi- ter. Pleased with the conditions on Mars he returned to that planet and took up his res- idence for life. It is said that he was able to analyze the thought of the Sophomores, and discovered that this substance was so light that no scales could be invented suiii- ciently sensative by which it might be weighed. Alice Downey Porter occupied the chair of Englsh. Her hair was silvered by time: but age failed to leave its mark upon her smiling face. A relic of that primitive mode of teaching is found in the museum. It is a Book of Old English over which the Soph- omore was expected to spend many months. During a long space of years the Pedagogy department was ruled over by Lillian Scott. In 1925 she abdicated her throne and entered the matrimonial state where she ruled with equal dominant sway. Freed from the distress occasioned by the outbreaks of students, she spent her last days in peace. Prof. Hoover, ever loved by the students for his kind and gentle manners, completed the end of life's journey on a farm. His useful labors were closed by finally giving to the world a valuable book of history entitled The Yanko-Spanko War. Dr. Patton, aside from his college work, gained much fame as a ball player, his last literary effort was to compile a book of iokes. dedicated to Charley Cheeny. Madamoiselle Evanlindy Jones taught French for many years and finally returned to her native home in Indiany, as sh-e was pleased to call it. Prof. Alfred Leach taught yellocution. I-Ie was very successful, but an injunction was issued by the mayor of Baldwin on complaint of the people, to restrain him from en- couraging the Freshmen to practice elocutlon by loud bellowings in their rooms. In 1937 he married a blind girl, and they both lived to happy old age. A certain Prof. Hair taught music at Baker in those primitive days. He made an- nual visits to the chapel and was much loved by all th-e students. Prof. McCutchan had charge of the vocal music. He wandered north and wooed a fair bride from the beautiful land of Iowa. He was able to execute with perfect skill in his art, and like the fabled Orpheus of old could move inaninate objects, even to a snor- ing sleeper in Rev. Pulliam's congregation. . 222 One interesting note of history is that there were at one time several literary soci- eties at the universityg but in a few years the fraternities took the Iield and th-e social life was dominant. The literary organizations soon lost foothold and passed into obilv- ion. At present I believe you have over 'dfty fraternity houses and more are forth-com- ing. The fiery orators who denounced the frats and opposed their invasion have gone. Their lips are sealed in death and they slumber in forgotten graves. Many students achieved distinction in various channels of life. A certain Mr. Ward won lasting fame by being the author of a valuable book of history, entitled The Annals of Pike County, Missouri. A Mr. Brooks of the class of '06, became a Bishop, and by decree of the court was allowed to talk in season and out of season. Mr. Walker be- came a broker on Wall Street. Miss Helen Kinzer became a missionary to the Yankees in Massachusetts. Miss Work taught vocal music in Paris. Mr. Hall became President of the Royal Order of Hod-Carriers. Mr. Bacon was at one time a leading member of the Chicago Packing trust. Mr. Justis was finally a member of the supreme bench at Wash- ington. Miss Kelly went as a missionary to Russia and married a relative of Nicholas II. Mr. Apple got soured on the world and went to Oklahoma to raise cotton. Miss James, the fair daughter of India, married a Kansas Congressman and was the chief agent in bringing her oriental home under the domain of th-e Stars and Stripes. Mr. Peter lost his right eye while dissecting a grasshopper, but later achieved much fame as a professor of bugology. Mr. Hudson discovered the North-Pole but owing to the fact that the ground was frozen he was unable to extract the long-sought article. Time would fail me to tell of all these immortals. So I shall close this narration and write the finis, -Shannessey O'Brien. P. S.-I forgot to say you will find in the museum a copy of some old rules that were prevalent about the year 1905. There are many stories of how the young lovers in ac- cordance with these rules took the last fond kiss at 9:45 and hurried home like a run- away hurricane. 223 NE Why my choice Hower is a Violet.-Elmer Leonard Brown.

One day as I walked to the fragrant woods, Thru the meadows all 'smiling in green, I heard a noise that startled me, What was it? A threshing machine? Ah no-As I turned my wondering eyes, I soon from my fears awoke, And a gentle smile stole over my face- It was only the four-wheeled joke. There sat the driver with iiowing hair, And eyes extremely kind, A-driving two little red ponies, While a snow white dog! was trotting be- hind. The wheels all wobbled like drunken men And the spokes be-at a merry tattoo, It was this that I heard that startled me, As I walked the green meadows thru. But the longhaired kindly driver, Glanced not to the left or right, But drove right on like a hungry man, With a fervent appetite. Perhaps the little red ponies, And the dog were hungry too, For they all were going a lively gait, Toward the town of old B. U. All the students of Baker, And all the Baldwin folk, Are acquainted with the driver And the four-wheeled joke. But perhaps you are a stranger And live many miles afar, So if you'll only listen, I'l1 tell you what they are. The driver is Charles Sylvester Parmenter Ph. D, And the joke a veteran buggy, With four wheels don't you see So this is the joke of Baker, That often goes around, And this the good professor, With learning deep, profound. Now when the beloved doctor Has laid his joke aside, And gone to the land of gladness Forever to abide- Do you thik he can be happy With all the other folk, Without the dog and ponies And the four-wheeled joke? Let loyal friends of Baker With kindness in the heart, Donate a sum of money Entirely set apartl- To build Parmenter Hall, And on its floor of oak Place a statue of the doctor In his four-wheeled joke. -Albertus Z. Winger MR. DOOLEY ON BAKER. ELL sn said Mr Dooley I hear Hinnissey thot ye bin a sending wan iv ye er sons to Baker. Ye er honor, Mi. Dooley, I did thot very thing. 'Sure, thats the likes iv a brite father like ye. An Hinnissey I've sint my dartyr to that college, an d'ye know that thim are a most particular set iv professers in thot institooshun. Fer wan thing they ring a bell an iverybody rins fer bed. W'ince a fellow was a takin my dartyr home an the bell rang, an what dyye think, Hinnissey, thot spalpeen ran away an Katherine Dooley had to seek her habita- shun all by hirself. Now me Katherine has bin a writin about wan iv thim perfessirs. She says he taches Latin and looks so young thot she would enjoy to keep company with a fellow iv his make. Another wan iv thim tachers is just beginning to sprout a moustache. But me dartyr is very much elated over the good times she is a havin at Baker. She wants me to kome down and give thim a chapel talk. Ivery body that komes on the Campus gives thim a speel iv some kind. Me dartyr is a standin pretty high down there. Shewas invited out to the Ep- worth League recipshun an most iverybody in the town kame out to see her. Fer wan thing thot perfessir with the moostach has bin a writin some notes to her a wantin her to call on him. I hear, Hinnissey, thot they bin a givin some iv thim students iirst grade on chapel attindence. Some iv the students didnlt care for these credits, but the honorable vice-prisident insisted they should have thim. Hinnissey I know that ye'er boy takes afther his father an will be gettin first on anything thot komes his way. Some iv thim perfessirs aer men some aer not. The oth- ers aer wimmin. Hinnissey I do heyr aboot ye'er son a joinin thim literary societies, an learnin to talk. Sure I heyr that they talk so much thot the noise eminating from their faces is somethin turrible. Wan iv thim orators talked the glasses off his nose, the windows out of their shades and the doors off their hinges. Now Hinnissey as a son of Erin I am bound to protest aginst thot abuse iv the right of speach. My hands aer achin to be a bumpin the heads iv thim nuisances.

The wide experience of the Editor insures wise treatment of such matters.J Brown Eyes-No, it is not especially injurious to the hair to rat itg but take our advice and rid the tangles out at least once a week. Miss J-In regard to the investment you are anxious about, we would say it is perfectly safe to take stock in the Baldwin Gas Company. Mr. F- P-If sage tea lotion fails to stop hair from falling out, send stamped envelope for further directions. Gi C-We, too, wonder if your last engagement is a serious one. The fact that you have had seven heart-aches should cause you to ponder a little before you ask another fair maiden. Samuel-When the young lady says, I have enjoyed the evening very much, place your hand on your heart, and say in your sweetest tone, Here too. Ada-When you have a gentleman caller and the last bell fails to ring, offer up a prayer of thanksgiving to Providence, and let the gentleman stay till twelve forty- five. 'fWill you kindly inform me as to which of the following sentences is correct, Anna shall not break the rulesg or, Anna will not break the rules? Dr. A. D. P. We would say, Doctor, that it all depends upon Anna. ' O. K.-It is evident that you are too anxious to emulate a fashion plate. We will send you the address of an up-to-date tailor, but advise you to wear a sweater once in a while just for novelty's sake. Irish-No, it is decidedly not in good taste to make a date over the 'phone. V. Powell-You can have the color of your eyes changed if you will go to some great specialist in New York or Chicago, but the operation will cost a small fortune. You may not care for our opinion but we would like to say that if the young man does not love you as you are he would probably not love you if your eyes were brown. Do not let a man, whose affections depend on such unimportant matters, influence you to such an undertaking. Blanche Lowe-You are much to young to be going in company. It is not necessary for you to know yet how to act on such occasions. The important thing for you to learn now is to refuse a date politely but very emphatically and without hestitancy or delay. Aletha-lt is difficult to describe a gown such as you desire. It should be of soft clinging material, of a light dove color, trimmed in sea shell, changeable satin with here and there a touch of sapphire blue. Cream lace should be draped profusely on the bod- ice but the skirt should have little trimming. This will give the picturesque effect you desire and will be very suggestive of the low, sweet, musical undertone of the sea. Jeanette-The Philippines offer the best opportunity for your life's work. Having made a specialty of that work while in college, you will know just how to be kind and helpfull to our little Brown Brothers across the sea. Alberta Stout-There is no necessity of treating his sister with marked coolness. Being associated as you are, rooming and boarding at the same house, no one could ac- cuse you of being nice to Stella simply to incur his favor. 228 H. Imboden-The cause of your illness was no doubt the anti-fat you have been tak- ing so often. You should know that the only permanent and safe way to reduce flesh is to put yourself on strict diet, cut out all night spreads and take a great deal of exer cise. Nothing is better than a long walk every evening. Take it with some one who will compel you to walk very briskly without resting till you reach home. F. Creager-Your dog is evidently suffering from an illness of the cerebro-spinal center. Make a tea from dog-wood bark and when the animal begins to bark, drench him with the tea. Repeat every night till the howling ceases. Lois S.-You can prevent your shoes from running over by getting a larger size. You will find it does not pay to wear shoes too small for your feet. Ethel Macurdy-If your canary seems to be growing despondent and his voice is hus- ky, have a thirty minute chat with him every morning. Then read a page of Pilgrim's Progress to him. Bathe his feet with warm soap-suds every evening. Put hot irons at his feet at night. The huskiness of his voice is probably caused by eating too much corn. Miss Bolton-If you wish to have your small feet show to good advantage, wear a walking skirt often. Also take care that your shoe strings are not always well tied so that they will have to be re-tied occasionally. I-a M-r-h-m-Never blodeen your hair again if you do not wish to be bald in five years. It is ruinous to the hair. If you will cease that barbarous habit immediately and follow the directions given to G. Schenck you may save your hair now but we cannot even assure you of that. La Vetra-No, there is really no use in continuing your school work. It is an un- necessary expense to your father, now that your purpose is accomplished. However, before you leave, give all the students an opportunity to see the ring. On warm days, do not wear gloves for the benefit of those who may feel a hestitancy about asking to see it. Quantic-Yes, a red evening gown would be very pretty and very stylish this sea- son, too, but if you wear red a great deal at school would it not be better to get some light color? When one looks especially bewitching in a certain color, she should take particular care not to wear it so much that it loses its peculiar effect. Deaconess--Since you have braved the worst part of such an affair, the rice shower, your should by all means bring it to completion. Just speak to Mr. Hudson about it. WVe are sure that it is simply an oversight on his part or he would have mentioned it before this. . 229 SHAKESPEARE ON THE SENIORS. Winona Freark- tAnd how like you this Shepherd's life?' 'Truly, it Hts my humor well.' . G. T. Justis- He speaks an infinite deal of nothing, more than any man in all Baker. Ora Allen- Do you not know that I am a woman? When I think, I must speak. S. E. Urner- He'll make a proper mang the best thing in him is his complexion. Evelyn Gould- Down on your knees, and thank heaven, fasting, for a good man's love. G. S. Cox- I am Sir Oracle, and when I ope my lips let no dog bark. Mary Roseberry- She is fair and fairer than that wordg of wondrous virtues. E. C. Arnold- A Daniel come to judgment! Yea, a Daniel! R. M. Winger- Not yet old enough for a man, nor young enough for a boy. Helen Kinzer- She has brown hair and speaks small, like a woman. J. P. Landon-HHe'll not show his teeth in way of a smile, tho Nestor swear the jest be laughable. Loula Boicourt-t'The lady doth protest too much, methinksf' F. I.

Nanuie Fischer- She hath a tear for pity, and a hand open as day for melting char- 1ty. Mamie Van Patten- Is she not passing fair? E. Douglas- Why, what's the matter that you have such a February face? Hallie Freeland- Silence is the perfectest herald of joy. W. R. Ward-HSe1dom he smile-sg and smiles in such a sort as if he mocked himself, and scorned his own spirit that could be moved to smile at anything. Harriet Sterling- In truth, sir, and she is pretty and honest and gentle. J. P. Scliolfield- Oh, it is excellent to have a glil11t'S strengthg but it is tyrannous to use it like a giant. Rachel Locke- If music be the food of love, play on, given me excess of it. J. E. Lough- His life was gentle, and the elements so mixed in him that nature might stand up and say to all the world, 'This was a n1an.' Mary Brigham- As good as she is learned. 230 Al L. Ryan-- An honest, willing, kind fellow. His worst fault is that he is given to prayer. Phoebe .fumes- Her Voice was ever soft, gentle and lowg an excellent thing in woman. A. A. Brooks- Oh! what a deal of scorn looks beautiful in the contempt and anger of his lips! Mary Tully- She's beautifulg and therefore to be wooed. She is a womang and therefore to be won. W. H. Hudson- For I am nothing, if not critical. Lucile Kelly-Scene-Woods of Athens.- Nor doth the Woods lack worlds of com- pany. For you, in my respect, are all the world. M. L. Brakebill- A proper man as any one shall see on a summer's day. Florence Elwell- If ladies be but young and fair, they have the gift to know it. L. C. Cutler- Very like a whale. Minnie Gardner-t'She hath a daily bearty in her life. C. W. Odom- Thou hast no speculation in those eyes, which. thou dost glare with? Dossie Stewart- A silfnt girl who wore a look of wisdom from her birth. Nicholson-'tWhen I said I should die a bachelor, I did not think I should live till l were married. Ethel VVork- I am never merry when I hear sweet music. L. T. Reser-'tYour face is as a book where men may read strange things. Edna Gander- Age connot wither her, nor custom stale her infinite variety. Ault- I am mightily abused. Harriet Maxwell- Her life was honest and gentle. Kalb- An honest, willing, kind fellow. Classie Kinzer- Was ever woman in this humor wooed? Was ever woman in this humor won? Hall- Lookg he's winding up the watch of his witg by and by it will strike.

A MODERN PAUL REVERE. fWith apologies to Longfellowj Listen, O students who flunk each year, How laurels are won if a pony is near. On the twelfth of September, nineteen five, There was Cthough only half alivej A student, and he landed here. He said to his friends, I mean to ride, So the language shall be my pride. Now you know the Profs and the college rope. Why do you drudge and bother and rnope Over your bookg come ride with me. But his friend looked up and said, I'll see. I know your steed is a thoroughbred, And wins in the race far more than a head. But I'll walk, I believe, and grow strong instead. So the other patted his horse's side, With deep affection and honest pride, While it, impetuous stamped the earth, He turned and tightened his saddle girth.

His bridle he turns:- A clatter of hoofsg His comrade he spurns. His steed it is flying, it's fearless and fleet. It thrills in his life blood,-this rythmatic beat,- 233 The swift measured motion of the charger's feet! And yet, in the gloom and the light, The grade of a student is made in the flight.

The other day, while the train from Ottawa was waiting at the Baldwin depot .for passengers to board, those standing around saw a big black some- thing coming with lightening speed down the grade south of the depot. Before the trainmen could get the train under head- way to avoid what all thought would be an inevitable collision, this big black something bumped into the rear coach and stopped. It was then found to be the train's shadow, which the train had beat in by two minutes. You can lead a man to college, but you cannot make him think. Before Exams.

Thou shalt not make for thyself nor for thy neighbor nor for thy kmsmen about thee, a graven pony by which thou mayest ride over the rivers of iiunkism III.

Honor thy father and thy mother by a liberal demand for cash so shalt thou dwell in peace when thy debts are paid. VI. Thou shalt not kill time for thou mayest report it on EDg11Sh VII.'Thou shalt not get funny when thy prof, is angry and his facial epidermis reddens., VIII.

HISTORY Founded, 18583 for many years the only institution of higher learning in this great southwest, Baker's contribution to the superior civilization of this territory has been important and significant. Over 16,000 young people now occupying positions of influence in their re- spective communities here received their inspiration for higher learning and higher living. GROWTH During the first twenty years the attendance was, of course, very small, for the popu- lation was not large and it must give itself to the important question of bread and but- ter, with neither time nor money for pursuing higher education. Nevertheless, during those twenty years the average attendance was 1071 for the next twenty years it was 269. During the last eight years there has been a remarkable growth, as follows: 512, 568, 629, 727, 907, 963, 981, and for this current year it will probably go beyond the thousand mark. The housing capacity and the teaching force have more than doubledg the Freshman Class has increased from 57 to 156g the College Department from 126 to over 4003 the Senior Class from 14 to 52. ALUFINI Alumni and former students occupy useful, and in many instances, prominent places in business, church, and state. We shall be glad to send to anyone inquiring for it, a copy of the catalogue containing the list of the alumni. The number of prominent, successful, and useful men and women therein indicated will compare favorably with the best and oldest institutions East or West. STANDING Because of the high character of the work required in the daily class room, and in the general features of the college life, Baker has a good reputation in educational circles throughout the land. Her grades are accepted by all good post-graduate, professional, and technical schools throughout the world. Twelve recent graduates have held fellowships or scholarships in thc Post-graduate Universities of this country and Europe. DEPARTMENTS The College of Liberal Arts: 400 students, 20 professors and instructors: the Academy, 300 students, 16 instructors and teachers: the Normal School, 5 in- structors, 125 students, Musical Conservatory, Oratory: Painting, Commercial College, Physical Train- ing, Preparatory Professional Courses, Post-Graduate Courses, Summer School. LITERARY SOCIETIES There are ten literary societies in a thriving, prosperous condition and do- ing a high grade of work. Their meetings are held in the University build- ings, but in the details of their inner life and spirit they are wholly under the control of the students themselves. Orations, debates, essays and the various sorts of literary activities of the University are here encouraged. IDEALS The long and glorious history achieved by this institution has not been by accident, but is due to the high ideals of education and training nurtured in her inner life and spirit. She believes in manhood and womanhood in the four dimensions of character: physical, intellectual, social, and spiritual. With added equipment in its laboratories, with reinforced teaching staff, with new gym- nasium, library and church, Baker is now better equipped than ever to make strong endeavor towards the realization of these high ideals. EXPENSES It is the constant study of the administration to keep expenses reduced to the mini- mum. The quality of the life, both in the College and in the town, may be expressed in the trite phrase, Plain Living and High Thinking. The earnest desire of the authorities is to bring educational opportunities within the reach of the very poorest. Of course expenses must vary with the habits and tastes of students. Two hundred dollars per year is a fair average expense for a comfortable living. Some pass through a school year on less than that, bordering close to one hundred dollars: others spend much more. But character, not cash, is the open sesame to all the high privileges here afforded. TOWN Baldwin is an ideal college town, composed of Christian men and wolnen interested in care and nurture of young life: hence, all thc conditions ot' the local life and spirit con- spire to this cnd. There are no distracting influences. The life of the town centers in the University, and the spirit and ideals ol' the University control the town. The students room in the homes of these Christian people, and have their sympathetic care and attention. FOR CATALOGUE AND 0Tl'lEli VALUABLE EDUCATIONAL LITERATURE, ADDRESS The President, DR. L. H.

It chanced that once upon a. time a Freshman sinned against the light and became perverse in his Ways at Baker. He heard the voice of Lemmie walking in the campus in the dark of night, 'and saying, Where art thou, Freshman? Then did this Freshman quake and sh-iv- er and desire for the trees of the campus to hid him from the all-seeing eye of that stern ruler. Thus did the shivering sin- ner make reply Beho1d I have here a lit- tle money, and I freely give it to Baker University. The money was handed over and homeward skulked the repent- ant culprit. No more did he violate the ten o'clock rule nor err in the devotions of the Sabbath. He Wrote home to his ma a complete confession of his atro- cious crimes and swore by Jupiter to love his profs and to sin no more. New Student: CAnxious to get in the best croWd.
