'QS if guided by Providence the present Flnnual comes to its readers de spite the many obstacles which beset its progress and publication Beset by hard times in the country at large, hindered and de- layed by the greatest conflagration the town has ever known, the small- est class in the school presents this book in the interests of the University. The publication was undertaken in order that we might fulfill the wish of the Editors of the X Ray, that the publication of an Plnnual might be a permanent feature in Baldwin University. Our aim has not been to produce a work of literature, but to pre- pare af suitable and appropriate souvenir for the present college year. Knowing that Pl little nonsense now and then ls relished by the best of men. we have indulged in that article somewhat freely. lf, kind readers, we have become personal, just remember we have endeavored to treat all alike. Plt any rate wait at least ten years before offering any complaints, and then we are sure, you will have none to offer. We thank all who have in any way assisted us and especially feel grateful to the EX-Presidents of the institution and Pllumni who have so kindly co-operated with us.

The College Year. oe tae The demolition of Hulet Hall and the removal of usable material to the new campus make the summer of 1896 memorable to old residents of Berea and to those students whose college life, in whole or in part, found its working center in that old building. The piles of stones on the new campus are not ornamental, but to some they speak forcibly of one of B. U.'s greatest needs-rich friends, willing to bestow upon her a portion of their wealth that they may thus enrich in mind and heart the generations to come. lt was a matter of regret to all concerned that Mr. Watson I. Taylor could not continue as an active member of the teaching force this year. Mr. Taylor has been remarkably cheerful and patient in suffering and enforced illness and it is hoped that his improvement in health may be rapid and permanent. We record with pleasure the addition to the faculty of the Rev. F. S. Hoyt, who came last fall .at the invitation of the executive committee of the trustees. The Doctor's ripe scholarship, varied experience as preacher, teacher and editor, and his deep spirituality make his presence and labors a blessing to the college and community. We trust his coming will result in the gradual growth and development of a thorough and complete Theological department in our school. His great interest in the young ministers is manifest in his founding the Baldwin University Preacher's Association, which has already been productive of much good among the students. It is to the great regret of the faculty and students that Dr. Hallen, our esteemed professor of mathe- matics, was obliged, because of ill health, to leave us and return to his home in Sweden. His gentle manner, along with his profound scholarship, endeared him to all of the students, as was manifested by the large company which attended him to the station on the morning of his departure. Miss Anna E. Rhodes, professor of Greek, who has been on leave of absence the past two years pursuing post graduate work at Bryn Mawr and Chicago, is expected to be at her post again next year, while Prof. F. S. Clark, who has satisfactorily done the work in the Greek department during the absence of Miss Rhodes, expects to spend the next two or three yearsin German Universities, studying Classical Archaeology and related subjects. IO 2 The close relation that exists between Baldwin University and German Wallztce College makes the com- pletion of the latter's Memorial Gebaudef' a matter of mutual interest and congratulation. The building, almost perfectly adapted to its several purposes, is an ornament to the town and an honor to those who in any way contributed to its construction. Let the opportunities afforded to students by the interworking of these two colleges be more extensively noised abroad. It has been made plain that Berea can support a good lecture course, but the success of such an under- taking depends to a great extent upon the activity and business methods of the class having the matter in charge. The lecture course for 1896-7 was well patronized and proved satisfactory to all concerned. In this connection it may be well to refer to the fact that there is a large number of entertainments and meetings of one kind and another that would serve as distractions to the serious and regular work of the student if he were to attend many of them. The Collegian who would get the most out of his opportunities must be chary of spend- ing too much time in such as are outside of the course of study which he is pursuing, and not in harmony with the purpose which is supposed to animate him-the acquiring discipline and mental power. Who learns in youth to deny himself and love laborious days may set high his ambition. The college library has probably been put to more use this year than ever before. The suggestions and requirements given in the class room for the purpose of guiding the student in his reading and original investi- gation have been numerous, and evidently productive of good results. Additions to the library in all depart- ments have been made from time to time from the regular fund, by gifts of friends, and by the special contribu- tions of lVlr. John Baldwin. The Rev. G. VV. I-luddleston is entitled to much credit for the money and labor expended in securing the large collection of books especially adapted to the needs of ministers. The religious side of the college life has not attained special prominence. The two Christian Associa- tions have been fairly well sustained, but their influence as organizations has not reached many outside of their own membership. lfVhen such a society as the Y. M. C. A. exists in a college, it is easy for those not especially zealous to throw too much responsibility upon it, and thus the general religious tone may be lower than it ought to be. The four literary societies have been vigorous throughout the year. The standard of excellence in orig- inal composition and elocutionary practice has been well maintained and there seems to have been enough of II society partisanship to keep up a healthy rivalry. The home oratorical contest was of considerable interest in college circles, but only a few not directly connected with B. U. or G. NV. C. were present. Perhaps another year may see greater enthusiasm in college oratory and in the local contest. However, when attention is called to the amount of labor required on the part of the contestant and the mental strain under which he is placed, one can hardly blame the young ladies for not taking part. A Baldwin-VVallace combination in this matter might be advisable, as it seems to have been useful in athletics. There was about the usual-number of intercollegiate games during the foot-ball season and the Baldwin- Wallace team made a good record. B. U. has received no donations or bequests of much value within the year. Such gifts are absolutely essential to the continued growth and enlarged powers of the Institutiong for with prosperity come larger demands upon the resources, and success itself makes it all the more dillricult to keep expenses within the income. Life, growth and promise of a future-these -Baldwin University has, and it can therefore appeal to its friends and those who ought to be its friends for large gifts and strong endorsement. The college year of 1896-7 will soon be counted with the past. It has been a year of progress. The attendance has been equal to that of last year, and the social, musical, scholastic, moral and religious inlluences of B. U. without doubt have caused many to make solid advancement in those things that pertain to true culture and character. x g-.ff 2 I2 3, , fir. - ' 161' f L '.',g1N'.',' Wim. v ' 1, - A l sv ww fa' ' f RECITATION HALL AND LIBRARY 'An outbound bark is on the sea Swift speeding day by day, And wheresoe'er the harbor be It is not far away.

The first President of Baldwin University was born at Portsmouth, England, April 15, 1815. In 1820 he came to America with his parents and settled at Bellefontaine, O. He was a student at Norwalk Seminary, O., Allegheny College, Meadville, Pa., and Asbury University, Greencastle, Ind., graduating from the latter Institution in 1840. For two years he served as Principal in the Franklin Institute, Indianapolis, Ind., and then became Professor of Latin in the Indiana Asbury University, at which time he received the degree of D.D. from his Alma Mater. In 1855 Dr. Wheeler became the first President of Baldwin University where he labored faithfully under great difiiculties for fifteen years. For the next five years he was President of Iowa Wesleyan University, and in 1875 entered the ministry and served as Pastor and Presiding Elder until his death, June 18, 1881. To those who knew Dr. Wheeler well, any mention of him will bring to mind certain characteristics from which it would be diiiicult to separate his memory. His friendly interest, his gentlemanly bearing and courteous manners, his ready sympathy in joy or grief, his conscientious regard for the rights of others all left their impress upon those with whom he was associated. He was quick to foresee and meet emergencies, and never faltered in the path of duty though difficulties mountain high beset him. He had a rare gift to see and recognize opportunities, seeming to take in ata glance their possibilities, while to others they seemed of but doubtful results, or beyond hope of achievement. Once recognized he had the courage of his convictions, and brought to bear upon them his untiring energies and his steady, persistent faith. To these qualities German Wallace College owes its existence to-day, as well as the enlarged vista opened to B. U. so soon after he came to it. But for that enlargement it must long ago have followed in the footsteps of Norwalk Seminary. His long-repressed desire for a thorough education, and his difficulties in obtaining it gave him a tender sympathy, for the many in like stress of circumstances, and a readiness to aid such to the utmost, to aid themselves. No student was more certain of a hearty welcome from Dr. Wheeler than he who came burdened and distressed between the desire of a liberal education and the poverty that seemingly forbade such aspirations. In the recitation room he was an inspiration g in the pulpit strong, scholarly and instructive, presenting the truth with the directness and earnestness of one sent with a message. He always carried with him the feeling that an unconverted student was a burden on his soul, a charge for which he must give account. ' Wherever Dr. john Wheeler was met, whether in his own home circle, or in society, in the class rooms or the pulpit, he was ever and always the cultured, courteous Christian gentleman. 16 ., REV. W. D. GODMAN, D.D. REV. AARON SCHUYLER, LL.D W D. GODMAN, D. D. The second president of Baldwin University, W. D. Godman, D. D., was born at Marion, O , September 8th, 1829- His Academic education was received at the Marion Academy under Principal Soloman W. Shepherd, an alumnus of the Ohio University. When only fourteen years old he was admitted to the sophomore class of Ohio Wesleyan University and graduated with the degree A. B. in 1846. After pursuing post-graduate work for one year, he was admitted to the North Ohio Conference of the Methodist Episcopal Church and preached three years. In 1850 Dr. Godman began the career of an educator in which work he has so successfully continued for nearly a half century. At this time he was elected President of the Worthington Female Seminary of the Ohio Conference. After serving tive years he became Professor of Greek in the Northwestern University, Evanston, Ill. In I86O the chair of mathematics of Ohio Wesleyan University invited him, which professorship he left i11 1870 to become the second president of Baldwin University. In 1875 he was chosen President of the New Orleans University, New Orleans, Louisiana, and in 1881 became President of what is now Gilbert Academy and Industrial Institute located at Winsted, Louisiana. Dr. Godman is now President of the same institution, with leave of absence on account of ill health, and is residing in Philadelphia. il 5' F if AARON SCHUYLER. Dr. Schuyler was connected with Baldwin University for twenty-three years. He received the degree of M. A. from Ohio n 1860 and that of LL. D. from Otterbein University in 1873. Wesleyan University i His first teaching was done in the Seneca County Academy at Republic, O., where he served as Principal for twelve years. He then became Professor of Mathematics in Baldwin University, a position he held for ten years. In 1875 he succeeded to the presidency and became Professor of Philosophy and Higher Mathematics, holding at the same time the offices of President of the Ohio College Association and Presidentof the State Teachers' Association. In Dr. Schuyler Baldwin University had a ripe scholar and an author of text books, of rare ability. His books are used in scores of high schools and colleges and comprise the following works: Higher Arithmetic, Algebra, Geometry, Trigonometry, Surveying, Logic and Psychology. To this list are soon to be added works on Analytic Geometry and Ethics which are now in manuscript. After leaving Baldwin University Dr. Schuyler was for five years President of Kansas Wesleyan University, and still holds the chair of Philosophy and Higher Mathematics in the same institution. 18 REV. J. E. STUBBS, D.D., LL. D I STUBBS. Joseph Edward Stubbs was born at Ashland, Ohio, March 19, 1850. The progressiveness and activity which charac- terizes his later life characterized also his boyhood, and at the age of eighteen he graduated from Ashland High School. His excellence as a scholar won for him the position of teacher in the A Grammar grade of the school, which position he held during the year 1868-1869, when he gave it up to enter College. In September, 1869, he entered as Freshman, in the Classical course, of the Ohio Wesleyan University, Delaware, Ohio. He had charge of the Delaware High School during the spring term of 1871, and during his Junior year in College he taught classes in Algebra and Elementary Physics. In June, 187 3, he graduated from Ohio Wesleyan University with the degree of B. A. That the Faculty recognized his ability and held him in honor is shown by the fact that he was elected in 1872, one year before his graduation, to fill the position of tutor of Latin and Greek in the College Department of the University-a posi- tion opened by reason of the election of Professor Hoyt to the editorship of the Western Christian Advocate. His health failing him, he resigned his place and went to California, where he spent a year, enjoying the much needed rest. In July, 1873, Dr. Stubbs married Miss Ella Sprengle, a graduate of the Ohio Wesleyan Female College. For three years after his return from California he was editor of the Ashland Times, giving this up to accept the superintendency of the Ashland School, which position he occupied from I88O to 1886. In 1886 he accepted the position of President of Baldwin University. He retained this place until 1894 when he was elected President of the Nevada State University whichoflice he is now holding. From July, 1891, to August, 1892, Dr. Stubbs spent in travel in Europe and in studying in the University of Berlin. For the year 1893 he was President of the Ohio College Association. Dr. Stubbs put forth unceasing effort to enlarge and build up Baldwin University, and what he did for it is well known. A new campus was purchased and two beautiful College buildings were erected on it, the endowment fund was increased and other things done which render his stay here memorable. 20 LADIES' HALL. .gpm-.1 ,:?i.4e:14 ,. I 1 The sun is low in the golden west, He stops to kiss the world good-nightg He takes the day in his arms to rest And hastens on with his burden bright. Like parting friends who speak farewell, And fill with love their last sweet smile, By the glowing sky the sun would tell His love for scenes he must leave awhile. Awed by such a glorious sight, The little shadows eastward creep To meet their gloomy mother, Night, 'And hide themselves in her bosom deep. And tired with rustling all the day, Their cooing with the breezes done, The little leaves have ceased their play, At Sunset. E- N. C. No jar disturbs their peaceiul rest, All nature other work doth cease, To deck with glory all the west And give the world her masterpiece. The fleecy clouds up-piled high, In sweet disorder soft unrolled, Seem Heaven's angels hovering nigh, Above the day's bright bed of gold, St. John, the Beloved, with rapturecl eyes Across the sea saw scene like this, And from his tiesh his spirit flies To meet the Sun of Righteousness. With Him the ransomed hosts he meets, With the111 before the throne he falls, He Walks with them the golden streets And are kissed good-night by the setting sun- Within the city's jasper walls. So may the setting of my sun Be radiant with heavenly lightg That I may go, when life is done, To meet the Day and not the Night. 22 Alumni et Alumnae.

Hannah Alice Foster graduated from Baldwin University in 1866, in the classical course. She is a woman of poetic literary culture, and one of whom the College may well be proud. Her poems began to appear in the Cleveland papers when she was but thirteen and since then she has written many, but her chief reputation rests upon Hilda, a gypsy tale, and Zulula, a Romance of Anahuacf' Miss Foster has several times received prizes for the best poem on a given theme, her latest victory being the poem on the Cleve- land Centennial, read on Woman's Day, and which received a prize of one hundred dollars. She belonged to the Crusaders, going out with the first band at Berea, and has been a loyal member of W, C. T. U, from the first. Miss Foster is a member of the Alethean Society, taking an active interest in its welfare and doing all in her power to aid it. The honor of being a trustee of Baldwin University is by no means the least which has been conferred upon her, for she is the second woman to Hll that place. T 5' il 5' ADAM C. BARNES. Adam C. Barnes graduated from Baldwin University to the degree of A. B. in 1859. Three years later he received the degree of A. M. About 1883 the degree of D.D. was conferred on him unsolicited and without his previous knowledge. The year succeeding graduation he spent in Hickman City, Ky., in charge of the Hickman Seminary. The next year Mr. Barnes entered into a contract with a famous publishing house to sell their books and spent the greater part of the year in Indiana prosecuting his calling. In 1861, at Kenton, Ohio, he was received on trial into the Central Ohio Annual Conference and appointed to the Elida Circuit. This was a large, three-week circuit with ten appointments and seventy miles around in what was then regarded as the heart of the Black Swamp. The summary of his ministry has been as follows: Sixteen years on circuits, thirteen years on station and seven years presiding elder. In 1892 he was sent by his Conference as delegate to the General Conference at Omaha. Since Mr. Barnes was taken into the Conference almost thirty-six years have passed, years full of labor, yet rejoicing in hope and rich in the triumphs of grace. 24 IAMES PARKSM MILLS, M. A. - 125 Rev. Mr. Mills was born near Norwalk, Ohio, and was reared on a farm in Huron County, Ohio. . In his eighteenth year he entered the preparatory department of Baldwin University. In 1861 he enlisted in the 65th O. V. I., forming part of the famous Sherman's Brigade and served until nine months after the close of the war, returning with his regiment December 25, 1865. He re-entered the University at the opening of the fall term, 1866, and continued a close student until his graduation in 1869. A few weeks later he married Miss Emily M. Foster, Class '66, At the fall session of the Erie Annual Conference of the M. E. C. he entered the Conference and was appointed Principal of the Western Reserve Seminary. In 1871 he was appointed Principal of the Lake Shore Seminary, which positions he filled with marked ability. In 1873 he resigned the position and entered the pastorate that he might have more leisure for study and be more closely connected with evangelistic work. In 1886, at the earnest request of the National Reform Association, he was appointed a Field Secretary and traveled largely, preaching and lecturing for three years. He was then appointed a District Secretary of the American Sabbath Union with his oflice in Chicago and having eighteen states under his supervision. After three years in this oFF1ce he returned to the pastorate and is at present thus engaged. Rev. Mr. Mills is an earnest preacher of the gospel and is an accomplished platform speaker. 5 il 5' 3' J. W. Houghton was born in Batavia, N. Y., in I834. His boyhood was spent in Spencer, Ohio, where among his teachers were his brother E. W. Houghton. and his brother-in-law Prof. W. W. Ross. He taught school and studied two years at Delawareg was a member of the first class graduated from Baldwin University, but dropped out a year to give entire attention to his medical course in Cincinnati, where he received his diploma the same year that he was graduated from the Classical department of B. U., 1860, and commenced the practice of medicine in Wellingtong' He had a large ride, but the exposure so impaired his health that he was obliged after twelve years to refuse to go. He became a member of the Ohio State Medical Association in 1871. In 1863 he received the degree of A. M. in course. That year established the Drug and Book l1ouse in which he has con- tinued. From 1876 to 1885 he owned and conducted The Wellington Enterprise. Since 1883 he has been the manager of the Central Union Telephone Exchange, which before the hard times had the largest list of 25 local subscription of any town of its size in the world. As a citizen and church layman he has filled the highest positions, discharging the duties pertaining to them with conscientiousness and ability. His tastes are in the library rather than with trade, and the pen is more congenial than the pestle and mortar, but is also a com- P etent mechanic and machinist. Dr. Houghton has been a Trustee of Baldwin University since 1892. 5 T T Y BURTON JAWIVIES I-IOADLY: Burton Hoadly graduated from Baldwin University in 1862. He enlisted in Battery D, lSt Light Artillery from Cuyahoga Cou11ty, Ohio. For three years he was Professor of the Ancient Languages in Baldwin University. Mr. I-Ioadly then joined the North Ohio Conference,where he remained for several years, successfully serving his different charges. In 1896 he went to Oregon as Professor of English Literature and History in the University of Portlandf I an an in 9- I AUGUSTUS ZEHRING, B. L. Augustus Zehring, B. L., graduated from Baldwin University in the Class of '68 and for two years taught in Richneld Academy. In 1872 he received the degree LL. B. while residing at Cleveland, Ohio, and one year later married Miss Eunice Walker. He at present holds the office of Collector of Customs for the City of Cleveland. if 9 9 9 ' FRED C. EASTMAN. Fred C. Eastman graduated from Baldwin University in 1884. He immediately accepted the position of Professor of Latin and Greek at Clailin University in Orangeburg. South Carolina, where he remained one year. From 1885 to 1889 he was Professor of Latin and Greek in Dakota University, Mitchell, South Dakota. In 1889 he went to Upper Iowa University, Fayette, Iowa, as Professor of Greek and Latin and in 1896 he was made President of the University and College Association of Iowa. He became President of North East Iowa Teachers' Association and member of the State Educational Council in 1897. Mr. Eastman is a well known lecturer and in the years between 18Q4 and 1897 he lectured before over one hundred County Institutes in Iowa, Illinois, Minnesota, Missouri, Nebraska and South Dakota. 4 26 3 I-UR! ,.QQ! g Lury Gould graduated from Baldwin University in 1861, in the class of three girls, the boys having gone to the war. She is among the pioneers of the Alethean Society and has always watched its interests with affectionate solicitude and rejoiced in its prosperity. VVhile a student here she united with the M. E. Church and has since been an earnest worker in the Church and Sunday School. In 1863 she married john Baldwin, jr., son of the founder of Baldwin University. In 1881 Mrs. Baldwin was elected president of the B. U. Alumni Association, which honor was accorded her for eight years. In I89O she compiled the Alumni Record and published it. She was elected trustee of Baldwin University in 1892, by the Alumni Association and re-elected in 1895, being the first woman to occupy this position. The death of her daughter, Philura, in 1892, and of her youngest son, Milton, in 1896, have cast a shadow of grief over an otherwise happy life which time can never efface. 9 5' if il R-EVgEQEPI2?T9PQ HP: t The Christian pulpit contains some of the most prominent of our alumni. One of these, Rev. E. O. Buxton, Ph. D., D.D., was born january 14, 1851, in Knox County, Ohio. I-Iis early life was spent on a farm, and his educational advantages were limited. After becoming converted he taught school for four years, and in 1872 entered the National Normal University at Lebanon, Ohio, where he remained three years, passing immediately to the Theological Department of Boston University, where he graduated in 1879. The same year he entered the North Ohio Conference and has since occupied prominent pulpits therein. In Dr. Buxton we have a telling example of what hard work, pluck and perseverance will do for a student, for while preaching he reviewed his entire collegiate work and received the degree of A. B. from Baldwin University, and also completed the four years post-graduate work in Boston University and received the degree of Ph. D. Honor- ary degrees have also been conferred, most deservingly on Dr. Buxton by both Ohio Wesleyan University and Baldwin University. In 1894 Dr, Buxton was transferred to the Cincinnati Conference and is now pleasantly located at Avondale, the most beautiful suburb of Cincinnati. 27 Seniors at U the Rocks. T. H. M. Let us linger near these rocks g 7! Count the names on these rude blocksg See the waters dashing go From ledge above to ledge below, Smoothly then flow o'er their bed, Flecked with quivering sun and shade. Four school years have passed away Like a wreath of yonder spray, Four times hath the budding green Beautified this sylvan scene, Since we entered yonder halls- Now to us the great world calls. Nay, 'twere wrong to have it so, Wrong like strangers forth to go. By the paths that we have trod 3 By the dear old campus' sod 5 By old B. U.'s cherished halls 3 By the blackboards on her walls- There is something to achieve: But as these old rocks we leave, Shall we leave each other, too? Be as those who never knew? Friendship, love, and all disown? Graduate, then each alone Go to do whate'er he may, While old memories fade away? By those blackboards we have stood, Puzzled as to tense and mood- By our colors floating gay, Standards borne in many a fray g By our manhood strong and free g By our manly sympathy, Pledge we here our friendship true.- Witness, Rocks, we call on you. 28 5 , M, E. CHURCH AND CAMPUS lflotes and Sketcihes from a Trave1er's Diary. CROSSING THE POND. Oct. 7.-Sailed from New York at noon-Teutonic. Many familiar faces we never saw before-all English and Irish, Girls pretty. Lou casts furtive glances at a tall one. She throws 'em back, Preacher passenger aboard.

Appetite raven- ous. Walked out of dining room on my ear. Vessel lurched, throwing me down stairsg poor sea legs. Old red nosed woman outside hanging over the railing. Played horse-billiards on deck all morning. Consumptive crank on board. Lou sucking oranges and groaning. Land gone. Bunked early, feeling game. Refrain. A sailor's life for me. Oct. 9.-Rougher.

Concert this evening. Sang Sweet Marie. Six encores. Boisterous crowdg everybody howls. Irishman says: Gints, I can neather sing, dance, nor spake a pace, but in order to kape up the oixcitment I'll lick any man in the house. Refrain: We'll all be angels in the sweet bye-and-by. Oct. 13.-Last day. Dance on upper deckg somewhat erratic: whole crowd slopped to portg then to starboard. Land sighted. Prayers. Packed up. Farewell feast in smoke room, crackers, cheese and stout. Lou bids good-by to his tall one. Ireland at last. Quiet bed. Refrain: Snore away, sweet dreamer. TIPPING. The pernicious system of tipping prompts many a would-be traveler to pause, even on the very threshold of a trip. Truly all Europe is a hot-bed of extortioners, a swamp of blood-suckers. The open palm always confronts you. Leave the hotel in the morning. Ask a man where the cathedral isg he does not direct you, but starts off to show you. Very kind indeed, but when you arrive he says: Something for the guide. At the door, for the beggar who opens it, another fee. Inside, for the fellow who conducts you about, still another, Climb the tower, still another. Now take a cab back to the hotel, pay the tariff, and fee the cabman. These cabmen are a terrific pest, as bad as the small-pox. In Naples I walked a mile through the streets followed by two cabbies who were bound I should ride. Finally I took one and that started a fight by the other. Arriving at my destination, I paid the fee and then tipped the cabby. I-Ie kicked. I tipped him again. Still he kicked. Then I gave him more. It only resulted in his howling louder than ever. I drew out a handful of money, motioned him to give back the tips I had given him. I-le did, and then putting both in my pocket, walked off. After that when a Dago kicked on his tip I took it back again. When you leave the hotel, everybody lines up from the porter to the boot-black. In Venice a Dago jerks you out of a gondola with his hook, then holds his hat. You hire a guide, pay the regular charge, then fee him besides. Stop in a restaurant for dinner. You are invariably asked to remember the waiter. At the barber shop, another fee. At the theater, a fee for the usher and one for a program. At the depot a facchino puts your luggage in the coach, fee. Another takes it out, fee. An- 31 - other carries it to the cab, fee. And so it goes until the traveler is impoverished by this polite, systematic robbery. And suppose you say you won't fee. Then you will be snubbed and insulted and swore atg slandered and wretchedly served, if at all, perhaps left to starve until you haul down your colors and go to feeing again. POINTERS. Never pay the price asked for anything in Europe. Wait awhile, the fellow will jew himself. At Venice I bought a necklace of beads and shells. The lirst price was ten francs. I paid two. A tortoise comb cost eight francs. I bought it for one. Always, before stopping at a hotel. have a written agreement as to charges. Otherwise they charge for candles, towels, soap, service, anything, even water. I have been soaked forty cents for one apple--on the bill it said Fruit, Butter is always extra and is never salted. Salt is extra in some hotels. Wine is five cents a pint, bus fare, two cents, a shave in England, two and four cents. These are some of the cheap things. There are few buildings in Europe over four stories. A RAILWAYS. The foreign railways are nothing like our own. About all the coaches open on the side and a coach consists of four or live compartments each holding eight or ten persons. Foot warmers, changed at every few stations give the only heat. ln England all tracks go over or under the road, while on the continent a man or woman stands at every cross road when the train goes by and accidents are almost never known. The govern- ment controls the system and in many respects her system is perfect. Of the three classes of travel, the third is most popular in England and the second on the continent, which corresponds nearest to ours in point of convenience. The ties are all iron, bridges stone, no smoke or cinders, and the rate of speed about thirty miles an hour. TAXES AND OTHER THINGS. In England a man must attach a revenue stamp to every telegram, money order, bank draft, or receipt he writes. Barely anything escapes taxation. Buy a railroad ticket, cost 3.05, three francs for the fare, five centimes for the government. Every horse, every wagon, every animal is taxedg in fact nearly every roof is 32 so plastered with mortgages that the ceiling sags. ln Italy, some of the poorest huts are flagged with marble. In the common hotels the floors, the stairs, the tables. and window sills are of white marble. Statues are everywhere. At almost all cross roads is planted a crucifix and before it a little altar where the passer-by may rub up his devotions and bag his trousers. Religion is the First duty, even of the beggar. A PARIS. ' Paris is a city of parks and boulevards and cafes and operas and gay life. Day after day I have sat at a sidewalk table in front of a boulevard cafe, eating dinner and watching the ever-changing throng surge by. Thousands and thousands of people and yet not a familiar face. Christmas eve in the Latin Quarter is the liveliest of the year. There I joined a crowd of six thousand students from all departments who turned out to deck the town, and did not disburse until daylight Christmas morning. The Tomb of Napoleon, the Place de la Concord where the guillotine stood, the Louvre. the Place de la Bastille, the Tuileries, the Opera and Made- leine, all lend their charm and interest to the traveler. Truly Paris is the gayest city in the world. MILITARY. Military life in Europe is rigid and extends to all classes and peoples. Germany boasts of a wonderful army. Every town has its fort and soldiers who devote their entire time to tactics. In Switzerland forts have been blasted into the solid rock of the Alps and cannon placed to sweep the narrow defiles. Italy, with all her poverty, supports an enormous army. Their uniforms and white kid gloves are spotless. As I passed through France it seemed to me like a nation preparing for war, so active are they in military work. In fact, on the continent every third man wears a uniform and draws a salary from the government, while many of the rest parade the streets in rags. 4 -'43, , 1 AT' S 33 K Q Q' J f Ulu' OQMZQQJM W G-CF -N241 Q j J W W WW Q W wld Xl fzf 7 X, 'Flvfi F ' gs 9 1 I.

The stock of wis- dom has been left somewhat depleted by the exit of preceding classes. However, in some of the essential points that go to make up a good Senior Class, '97 is willing to acknowledge that she ranks in the immediate neighborhood of the top. Numerically, '97 is the largest class that Baldwin University has turned out to face the realities of a cold and unfeeling world, in many years. But once before in the University's history has a class of eighteen Seniors, armed with classical parchments bearing the scholarly but unintelligible signatures of a wise and hon- orable faculty, entered upon the demolition of the numerous theoretical air-castles with which the college atmos- phere is filled. Not in the spirit of boastfulness, but in the interest of truth, let it be recorded that the Class of '97 claims to have the best scientinc student and bug specialist in Baldwin Universityg also the best student in languages, the best student in mathematics, the best student in chemistry, the best short-hand writer, the cham- pion orator, the only theological graduate, the only medical graduate and European tourist, one of the best all- 'round business managers, and several of the best writers and public speakers. The career of '97 has been enlivened by the usual events of interest and importance which mark the col- legiate sojourn of the average classgp and each member will carry with him in the Book of Memory the pages of unwritten history which remain as the record of his college days. One more reference to the commendable abolition of that effete and almost intolerable custom known in ancient history as the junior Exhibition, may be pardoned, '97 has the last word in the matter, and claims the honor of that work of mercy in the interest of her Alma Mater. And may the little animosities en- gendered by that confiict be buried forever beneath the waves of Lethe's fabled stream. The Class of '97 claims to be practical. No brilliant, fanciful theories have cast their meteoric flashes over her path. She believes that life affords numerous magnificent opportunities for the exercise of good com- mon sense. It is a gratifying fact that no case of that dread collegiate afHiction, megacephalous, has yet developed in the class. Should the slightest symptoms yet appear, the case will be promptly treated and permanently cured. No band-wagon displays have marked the career of '97, and, next june, she expects to graduate in a way becoming plain, patriotic American citizens graduating from a plain, patriotic American college. '97 has no marvelous expectation of transforming the world, in the present century, at least. The most that each member, in his little sphere, can do, is to adhere to the principles of good citizenship and practical usefulness. However, '97 does not write Ne plus Mlm over the door of her Alma Mater. Actuated by aspirations for still better things, each member will seek a place in the procession of progress, the ranks of which are liberally supplied with college men and women. . In bidding a reluctant farewell to college scenes, '97 desires to express her most cordial appreciation of the kindness and lasting benefits received at the hands of the faculty, and to give assurance of her interest in Baldwin University by hereafter directing young people seeking an education, to the halls of this sound, prac- tical, progressive institution.

Of all the classes that have graduated from Baldwin University, surely none have done more for the interest of the University than the Class of '98. The class from the Freshman year has been the pride of the college. The class that transformed The Bzelleiin from a four-page sheet into a respectable college magazine, namely, The Baldwzhz, was the junior Class. The class that, instead of getting up the usual bogi, at the time of junior Exhibition published The XRay, or what will henceforth be called The Sophomore Annual, was the Class of '98, The X Ray created much excitement and was conceded by all to be the best thing ever published by a college class. Although Baldwin University is among the foremost colleges of the land, it had not, previous to the year eighteen hundred ninety-six, published an annual, and had it not been for the Class of '98 probably would not have published one for years to come. I If the students of Baldwin University were asked which class had contributed most to college athletics, they would invariably answer the Class of '98. In this class the giants and best players are found. It has furnished for two years the captain of the foot-ball team, and when the time came to elect new officers everyone naturally turned to the Class of '98, thinking it to be the only class from which suitable men might be chosen to fill the important positions. From it were chosen both a captain and a business manager, both men of superior ability and under whose leadership the foot-ball team will be led on to glorious victory in the fall of eighteen hundred ninety-seven. But woe unto the opposing teams, for cracked will be their bones, and smashed will be their heads when the right tackle, the left tackle, and the full-back fall men of the junior Classj strike the opposing lines. We regret to record the fact that since June, eighteen hundred ninety-six, many of our then worthy and 40 . loyal classmates have left us, never more to be counted members of our class. Iwill state briefly what has become of those who have gone. One is now engaged as principal of a school, one is studying law, one is attending the Iowa Wesleyan University, one has taken unto himself a wife, another was joined in holy matri- mony to a worthy young man of the Class of '96, while six others by diligent study have been permitted to enter the worthy Senior Class. Thus has our number been reduced, and those gone can no longer be called members of the Class of '98, yet those of us who are left have not forgotten them, and the golden cord which bound our hearts together through the struggle of '96 shall never be broken. A As a class we believe in enjoying ourselves while in college, and perhaps we have had more social gather- ings and class meetings than any other class in school. Last winter when the sleighing was good and the weather was cold, we spent an evening with one who was formerlya member of our class, and were most royally entertained. When the sleighing disappeared we decided to arrange for a banquet, and on March eighteenth was given perhaps the finest banquet ever given in the history of Baldwin University. The envious Freshies tried to interrupt our good time by demolishing our tables, but in this, as in other similar events, they failed. Our class relationship has always been pleasant, and' nothing but the kindliest feeling has existed among us. We hope other classes may be as happy and prosperous as we have been, and if the succeeding classes find anything worth mentioning that we have left undone, we wish them success in accomplishing it. And now, in conclusion let it be remembered that we, as a class, do not think that we are so much wiser and more intelligent than other college classes, only in this respect, that what we do not know, we do not even pretend that we know. 1 Walk- J? :Vg .. we fam f s 3' 'T K ' Q' ,V l 1 ,Dy 'l ay' ff. ,cr C ,L Q 41 01 4 1 fb 4 ,ff ff 55 W' W9 W W0 bfi f KD WJEES . f? 5 ffwfy J md? , Y2f'23gfdQ,LQfiAfAWf f fgec Cggyoim, Q G I W ful AffV?!

No doubt we have not, as a class, made as much bluster and blow as Sophomores are wont to do. But, remember Still water runs deep and the fact that our works are not the most conspicious Cwe never did believe in paradej does not disprove our ability to do the most and greatest. To be sure we are not conceited. In constructing the phrenological make up and the diversified characteristics of the Class of '99 at the beginning of its Sophomore year the Master Architect mistook the cortical center sagitatis for that of arro- gantia and added to the former all the material intended for the latter. On perceiving his error and reflecting on his previous experience he remarked, All rules have exceptions, and This class' loss shall be the world's gaing thus it came about that we were deprived of those unenviable traits represented by the word sopli-o-more and hitherto regarded as the inevitable con- comitants of the second year class in college. It may be that some reflections have been cast upon our spirit as a class. Let it be said, in defense, that one reason we may have appeared somewhat inactive, is because of the tremendous amount left undone by former classes. What other class could survive the loss of 50 per centf straight of all its members? In the fall of '96 half of '98 through Freshman returned to form the present Sophomore class. How nobly we rerallied to its support I What efforts we put forth ! What dimculties we surmounted not even a Prep. could imagine or an Asa T. Green dream of. But our efforts were justly and most satisfactorily rewarded by the final completion of the exact number of our last years enrollment. For two years we have numbered just sixteen, consisting of eight of the fairest lassies and eight most noble youth in B. U., so far as we are concerned. We would not have any more or less, no, not we. Eight was our Shibboleth last year and eight it remains this yearg and When, in the future, we look forward over the past we will think of the hash we sigh! in Ladies' Hall dining room and rest in peace though in pieces. Ninety-nine claims the honor of setting the precedent of holding class socials in Baldwin. One delightful spring evening, Tuesday, May 26, 1896, the class, then Freshmen, met at the home of Miss Elizabeth Gould and started the ball rolling by holding the first class social of the season. Space will not permit to enter into a detailed account of this pleasant event. Games of various kinds were participated ing refreshments were served, and splendid solos were admirably rendered by the best talent in the college. Only at the approach of Wednesday did we depart to our homes feeling grateful to our courteous hostess for l1er kind hospitality and exulting in the strengthened conviction of loyalty to the Gold and Blue. We are not influenced by the evil tendencies of others. Juniors may steel harness, Freshies smash tables with China and glass-ware, Seniors put an untimely end to innocent and instructive features of the Junior year, and Preps. may desecrate the 44 , chapel with kine or cards, tl1e unclassified may issue anonymous publications of evil intent or scatter bills for rival classes-but, we, sophomores, looking above the petty, trivial affairs of life ever strive for the higher and nobler attainments only to be secured by keeping unsullied and untainted of such ignoble deeds. And, by omitting to do these things, if not so much by doing the ideal and perfect, we will endeavor to set an example worthy the emulation of succeeding classes, and to raise the standard of college life above reproach from gross misrepresentations of careless newspapers, and finally make it such that the best moral, intellectualtcitizens will, not only hasten to send their own beloved sons and daughters to the higher institutions of learning, but also aid many others less fortunate to obtain an education. To prove our previous statements and to enable all to see that our claims are indeed modest we will bring to light a few of our qualities by a GENERAL MENTION. A. With the faculty we never had any but the most pleasing and kindly relations. B. According to the idea of the world at large we are by no means guilty of the charge of Mutlosigkeit sometimes preferred by jealous Juniorsflf C. We set the limit at sweet 16. D. Freshies may have their stag parties, Juniors their gatherings of a miscellaneous hetereodoxy of all classes collegiate and preparatory, and Seniors their nihz'!z'ssima,' but we claim to be the only class that can hold an evenly matched, well tempered class affair of any sort. E. The adaptability of our palladium is too evident to need further dipiction. IN PARTICULAR. To ennumerate our special talents would require an extra edition of the Annual. So we must be content with merely mentioning a few of the most conspicious. We hold the banner for having the most original person in school, the only true southerner, the hardest working girl in B. U.g orators, musicians, preachers, artists, business men, agents, specialists, farmers, waiters, etc., etc., besides the shades of innumerable aspiring though dissappointed Freshmen who are not able to survive the agonies of our initiation or salis superlmm se praebcrei' Therefore, be it known to all, that Whate're Freshies, Juniors or Seniors may do, We never cut or flunk or bluff our wayg We're the banner class of the U, For that is what the Profs. all say.

We are freshmen, youthful and engaging, but we have already learned that we know nothing, and consequently we wear the garb of humility. Whatever of talent there is among us is known, nor need We sound our own praises. We find ourselves in congenial air. College ways to us are neither new nor strange. We were born to breathe a college spirit, to move in intellectual spheres. What have we done? There have been class meetings at which the weighty questions of colors, yells, rides, and spreads have been discussed with flow of eloquence and flash of wit, and decided with ponderous yeas and nays. On occasion we have flaunted the pink and green, and rent the air with naughty-naught. Our class spirit is deep and genuine, and such as to lead us to the most refined conduct. It is not surprising, therefore, that not long ago such an incident as the following occurred: After the pleasant sleigh ride to Brooklyn, when we had gathered to congratulate ourselves on our good time, one mem- ber of the class arose, and began: Mr. President, ' with charity for all, and malice toward none,' I rise to make a few remarks. We have reason to infer that there were once some freshmen who on entering college did not burn their boats behind them. In other words, having come from the farm, they still thought so much of steeds and stables that they were unable to invent a practical joke without betraying their hayseed propensities. In order that We may not imitate such persons, I submit the following resolution: Resolved, That we empty our shoes of dry clover seeds, and let the hired man perform his own dutiesg that we keep this resolution even through our Junior year. i ' It was adopted. So much for our upward tendencies. Our recent spread was all that could be desired. Manhood and beauty graced the festal board. Conversation flowed freely, and delightful humor prevailed. Our future is evidently before us. We shall be heard from. Perhaps we shall be heard from on the steps of Ladies' Hall. VVe shall surely win renown on the campus, in the literary society, in the class room, in the world. 48 v11111r1111111n1111l11111zfzzlrrznillzflllzzll1011111111111111111111111. 111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111 'wp 5 ..-..f-- Preparatory Department. tae. We have given the history of the college classes. The Prep, that necessary evil of college life, is still on our hands. What ,shall we do with him? To give him mention or not to give him mention, that is the question. To tell of 'his heartaches and the thousand natural shocks his verdancy is heir to, is a thing we would gladly do, but the poor fellow has not much history, and if we relate some few incidents about him we hope we will not rue it. The Prep from the time he enters the country school room of Prof. Braion, where he studies arithmetic, writing and orthog- raphy, to his entrance into the Freshman fold, has a hard time of it. He comes to college in the fall fresh from the farm or the little village high school. He stands amazed as he for the first time beholds our fine buildings, and especially the big pipe organ in the chapel. Then comes the annual reunion when he makes his bow to the ladies. He thinks the air very oppressing, and as he promenades Cbecause he has toj with the ladies, he thinks of his mother, and wishes that he might be able to talk about some- thing else than the weather. A little later in the season he sees his first foot-ball game. He sees the men rush against each other and he hears such strange yells that his hair stands on end. At the same time he wonders whether he will ever wear such a suitg have such long hair, and whether the students will then yell for him. He goes to classes every day, never misses oneg always asks President Warner when he wishes to leave towng goes to church two times each Sunday, does not buy a lecture course ticketg never goes out after nine o'clockg knows nothing about the Henry Clay Club 3 never plays a trick on anybody. He is a very busy fellow in his Way, yet he does many very queer things, e. gp : He asks a girl to take her to an entertainment and is afraid to go when the proper time comes. Another one writes his note and takes it with him to Ladies' Hall when he calls for his lady on the evening of the entertainment. We have made a collection of literary curiosities which we will give for the benefit of the reader. We hope to illustrate the Prep's originality by these: TRANSLATIONS: CProfessor to Prepj: Translate 'Sic semper tyrannusf fPrep who could translate classicswithout a ponyj: Six serpents and a tarantula. Voluerunt ire Corinthumf' Translation: They flew in wrath to Corinth. Ferunt tonsis mantelia villis. Translation: Napkins made in farm houses. 50 Callida tenebras versato cardine Thisbe egrediturf' Translation: Cunning Thisbe advanced thro' the cloud having swung on a hinge. Rr-1E'ro1zrc AND FINE LANGUAGE: CPrep to Junior seated by the Rocky river iishingl : Adulescente, art thou endeavoring with thy elongated rod to entice from the watery depths some of the iinny tribe ? Cjuniorj : Naw, I'm fishing. A PREP's FIGURE OF SPEECH : Opposite in the blue vault stood the moon, sailing like a silver pan, raining his bright arrows on the sea. POETRY : If I'm nothing but a Prep, Guess I'm just as good as you, I can study hard as you can, And I'm in your classes too. Here I am in chemistry, Mixing acids to make gasses, And I have some studies, too, In Freshman and in Senior classes. May be you can tell me Where the difference comes Between a Middle Prep, you know, And his Junior college chums. . Now, I really wish you'd tell, The only difference to me Is: One is called a college man, And the other's noi, you see? With all his peculiarities, the Prep has many noble traits of character and he has within him the germ of future greatness Our Preps, as a class are noble young people. and they have demonstrated their ability in more ways than one. In the Oratorical contest this year the Preparatory department, as last year, carried off the second honors, E. C. Jacques winning second place Some of our best students are in the Preparatory ranks. They have our sympathy and our best wishes for success in their college course and in their life's work. SI ' LX 2 X i ly? a vi V . , Q gl KE 2 'f Y ' Q , ,, . iz m Uk' , t . 'x r' fs.

Three courses, the Teachers', the Ministerial and the Speakers' course have been taken up during the year. The organization of the Ohio Oratorical Association has given a great impetus to this department of the college. The annual occurrence of an oratorical contest has interested the students more than ever in oratorical work, and marked results have been noticed. W'e note with regret the withdrawal of the young women from the annual contest. It may have been wise, The future will demonstrate. The age requires men and women who can speak in public, and who can do it well. No student knows what he can do in the line of public speaking until he makes an attempt, and the annual contest affords a valuable opportunity for such attempts. May the ambition of every true society-student be to represent his society in the oratorical contest. We have no reason to be ashamed of our standing thus far, in the state contest: it has been good and Baldwin has a good name in the state association. All we need now is a little more interest, and enthusiasm centered on the local contest. Long live oratory in B.

Never did this time-worn adage apply more appropriately than to thevgrowth and development of the Philozetian Society. When that little company of men banded themselves together nearly half a century ago, for the purpose of improvement in moral and intellectual culture, composition and oratory, they little realized that they were the nucleus of an organization destined to encircle the globe. Yet from so small a number has grown the world-wide fraternity of Philos, and it would be difficult to hnd a quarter of the globe in which Philoism has not her representative. She has been represented in nearly every vocation and profession. Her eloquence fiows from hundreds of the pulpits of our landg her voice is heard again and again in behalf of justice at the bar, her hand upholds the Cross in many a jungle and wilder- ness, while her dignity has graced the episcopal office of the church. All through her career of half a century she has been the pet of Dame Fortune and has always been in a most prosperous condition with possibly the exception of the period of the Great Rebellion, when nearly every Philo rushed to his Nation's defense, and demonstrated upon the Southern field with musket and sword, the principles which for more than a decade had been hurled from the Philo rostrum. But while much of her energy lies buried beneath the white slab in our Southern cemeteries, or in the little mound on the banks of the Ganges, still the Philozetian Society has ever retained her position of the fore- most literary society of the University. Indeed, in its long association with the society, the name Philo has become the synonym of originality, fraternity, fidelity and untiring industry, and promises to continue so as long as the society exists. . 58 5 Never was the society in a more thriving condition than to-day. Indeed it is the Philos who conduct the student enterprises of the University. For example the editor-in-chief of the college paper, The Ba!a'wz'n,- the editor of this volumeg the captain of the foot-ball team is a representative of Philo brawng the president of the Young Men's Christian Association is also a prominent member of the society, while the entire list of male ofhcers of the Oratorical Association wear the blue and white. Were it not for our modesty we might mention the fact that five-sixths of the professors of the college are members of the Philozetian Society, but will pass that by. V The society has always been distinguished by the high grade of excellence which characterizes its liter- ary work. No better recommendation could the Lovers of Investigation have than their thoughtful essays and orzlgina! orations. lt is the aim of every Philo quietly and faithfully to discharge the duty placed upon him, and that he succeeds in performing his task is the testimony of all who are in any way acquainted with the word Philozetian. i as a s's'Mma 59 Philo-Clio Reception.

Most of them were members from the Alethean society, who actuated by a desire to do original work left the parent society and started one for themselves. Like all new life they have experienced a vigorous growth, yearly increasing in the excellence of their work and always maintaining the originality and the freshness of youth. They have conquered many difficulties. At first they had no permanent home, but held their meetings in the different recitation rooms of the college. Doubtless their inspiration was but doubled by their classic surroundings. In the records of those days we find an account of a reception given by them with a program which to-day would be full of interest. The fair ladies discussed for the editication of their brothers the question, Resolved, there is more pleasure in the pursuit of a wife than in the possession of one. The result of the discussion is not recorded. That they were appreciative of their teachers and their literary efforts is evidenced by the following passage from the minutes: The president in some exceedingly eloquent remarks thanked the professor, to which the professor responded very well. In 1865 we read of their society of forty members meeting in Prof. Pierce's recitation room in South Hall and on March 9, 1868, of the abdication of the professor in their behalf. The faculty now granted them the exclusive use of the room and they undertook the task of furnishing. They hung the paper and laid the carpet with their own hands. Generous donations were received from friends which helped them in procuring chairs, etc. On April 2 of this same year the first invitation to an entertainment by the Philos was received. Previous to this time the records abound in pleasant references to our brothers, the Phrenos, but now a change came to pass and the Clios promised to be sisters to the Philos, which agreement they have ever striven to fulfill loyally and the union has proved for them to be one of pleasure and profit and to-day they look with pride upon their brother society. Before the present Ladies' Hall was completed the Clios finished off their room and furnished it. Their piano and new chairs were purchased soon after their arrival in their present room. They take just pride in their pretty parlors and every year strive to add something to enhance their appearance. Because of the strict work which the Clios required they have been called the Old Maid's Society. The reputation of Old Maids they are very fast living down at present by the means of the marriages which of late have been so frequent in their 62 ranksg but the standard of solid honest work which procured them their name is still maintained, and they strive to keep their program free from frivolity and lightness and make them strong and helpful. More than ever they show the evidence of good thinking and the ability of correct expression, which will be of great use in the years to come. But the golden pen is not the only badge of the Clios. They strive to ever maintain a spirit of broadness and charity and to look at the world from a standpoint other than their own for they realize that the cultivation of the heart must keep pace with that of the intellect, and generosity of soul with a trained mind. Thus their purpose is to tit for life true, and intelligent women. Many Clios have gone out from Baldwin to fill places of trust and usefulness in the world and many more will follow them in the years to come even better equipped for life than they. Wherever they may be called, be it that of a teacher, authoress or helpmate, their usefulness will be increased many times over by the systematic training of Clio work. We feel that her past has been without criticism, her present outlook is bright and her future will be glorious. Q 63 Clio-Philo Reception. 9 - - march s, IS97 - - 5' PROGRAM. March, . .

Alcins Slmzuiy Phreno Cosmian Society. ve as The Phreno-Cosmian Literary Society of Baldwin University was organized in March, 18575 so that the society is just forty years old the present year. The formation of the society was the result of a split in the parent organization. One party did not like it because they could not have everything their own way, and went off by themselves, fully determined that the other fellows should not spout in their hall. Although an offshoot, the new society, like many another young sprout, took deep root and flourished. The 'drst members of the society were characterized by integrity, common sense and a sturdiness of purpose that enabled them to surmount the many obstacles which confronted them. Being organized in the stirring days preceding the civil war, when the rumbling of the coming storm was already heard in the land, was it wonder that the approaching crisis should be of intense interest to these youthful sons. They criticised the policy of the government and the conduct of the war. The rebellion was put down every week. But they could do something more than talk, they could act and many of them laid aside their books and the pleasures of college life, to serve under Grant and Thomas, and more than one brave Phreno boy gave up his life on the Chickamauga and Mission Ridge, to preserve his country's honor. During the forty years of its existence the society has graduated many prominent men, who have left their mark upon the annals of science, literature and the higher professions. It was in the old society halls that the eminent ministers of to-day learned and practiced the art of making people tired 5 it was there that the embryo lawyers obtained their first experience in the mock trials when some oifender was brought before the judgment bar of the societyg and it was there that our young statesmen and politicians acquired their training for public life through the discussion and settlement of such absorbing questions as these: Resolved that ignorance is a bliss, Resolved that skating is an amusement which should be enjoyed by old and young, male and femalef' and Is a lawyer justified in defending a bad case. The history of the society has been a varied one. We have had our pleasures and disappointments, our triumphs and defeats. But every loyal Phreno can honorably boast, Our greatest glory is not in never falling but in rising every time we fall. For a long time the society led a sort of hobo existence. It was kicked around, like a homeless cur, from one place of 66 meeting to another. It had its quarters successively in the old German Wallace building. the National Science Room in Hulet Hall and also in old South Hall. The society remained in the latter quarters until they became so damp and unit that no one could endure it any longer and by request the society obtained from the faculty the use of the beautiful hall over the library which it now shares with its brothers of the Philozetian Society and the Y. M. C. A. The society was incorporated under the laws of Ohio on the zoth of April, 1885. ' A The present school year has been a prosperous one for the society. The roll contains the names of forty-six active members, the largest membership in the history of the society. Ten members of the present Senior Class belong to the society. This is the largest number ever graduated in one year by any literary society in the history of Baldwin University. Although quanity is so well represented, quality is not lacking. for the two candidates of the society for oratorical honors won first and second place in the local contest, thus demonstrating the fact that the members are keenly alive to the spirit of the inspiring motto of the society: Eloqui Aude. .Q ,, ' ' 1 - - ' ak a 'W f QI-S'4u-f 67 Phreno-Alethean Reception. 9 .

Covel, president, and Mary A. Hayes, Cnow Mrs. J. W. Houghton, of Wellington, OJ recording secretary. - The name of the society was suggested by Dr. Wheeler, then president of the college, and it has been unchanged, save in pronunciation-the accent now being upon the second rather than the third syllable. The first years of the society were spent amid the humblest surroundings-a room in old South Hall, being but meagerly furnished with a table, a few chairs and a small hand lamp. But the enthusiasm which was fraught with a desire to cul- tivate tl1e literary arts, was sufiicient in the brain and heart of these, our elder sisters, to carry them through all the unpleasant emergencies, and the Alethean Society to-day, with its large membership, and those who have come into its ranks all along tl1e years, are glad to feel that they stand i11 a Sisterhood with those who so willingly and successfully wrought in one of the most important departments of college life. Alethea is proud of her Alumni, in which she counts teachers, poets, missionaries, professional women editors, and a host of loving wives and mothers who are still efficient in their ability to aid in literary Work Whenever called upon. There are many incidents in our history which might be noted and prove interesting as reminiscence. For instance: At the time when the college boys donned the blue uniform and marched away to defend the cause of freedom, the Alethean Society was the one to present these brave boys, a pretty Bible on which was inscribed, Presented by the Ladies' Alethean Literary Society of Baldwin University. Aletheans feel that they are indeed one sisterhood, and this was especially illustrated a few years ago when our elder sisters came in one Monday evening and took by storm the active membership of the society as well as the parlors and ofiicial places. Mrs. Dr. M. F. Warner presided, and others of the elder sisters acted respectively as secretary, chaplain, and critic. The program was carried out as in ye olden time. When the Alethean Casket was read amid marked applause, a declamation which had 70 been rendered twenty-live years before, was again given and essays and a poem completed the literary program, after which were social hours unsurpassed by any previous occasion. The society motto is Droit et avant. The colors are corn color and yellow and are constantly exhibited in the Alethean parlors -two rooms on the third floor of Ladies Hall, beautifully furnished, and cheerily welcoming all who enter. One of the advances made by the society during thetpast year is the purchase of a very fine new piano, which gives zest to the musical part of the program. The membership is very large this year, the enthusiasm is intense, the determination firm, and tl1e standard is being constantly raised, and while this is true, the elder sisters gladly and heartily and loyally join with the younger in the sentiment, Long may the pioneer society flourish and increase in strength in Baldwin University. To be an Alethean once is to be an Alethean forever. kv'-525 tl f 147 'QQSVQ 71 Alethean-Phreno. 3' m0llddV Ewllitlg, 0Ci0bQl' 26, l896.

Our yells have become famous, and we are always able, when occasion requires, to give them in a manner which ' no doubt as to our enthusiasm anr' Why not have a song which will to us? Certainly tl' our student dents fail to appreciate their advantages and make such poor use of their time, wasting golden mo- ments which can never be recalled. Life is too short and there is too much to be accomplished to thus spend the time in idleness .But worse than all, the idle, shiftless student injures others as well as himself-he is a bore. How many times is the patience of the conscientious student, with a lot of hard lessons to be mastered, taxed almost to the limit by one of this class, who dropping in to see him on a little matter of busi- ness QD talks and loiters around the remainder of the afternoon, or if in the evening, inclines one to request that he stay all night.

My iirst sight of John Baldwin, Sr., founder of the University, greatly surprised me. He utterly failed to meet my pre- conceived notionsl I had heard much of his philanthropy and little of his personal habits and peculiarities. My sister-Mrs. Wm. I. Lawrence now-and I rented rooms in Baldwin Hall for the fall term of 1857 and thus had a good chance to form his acquain- tance. To us he was always genial, always kind. Later we rented elsewhere but in I86O two others of the family desired to attend with us and I contemplated by the opening of the fall term the purchase, or lease permanently of a small building some- where, for our accomodation and was looking around during the spring term. One day Father Baldwin approached me and stating that he had heard what I desired to do asked me to go with him to look at a lot then vacant on a bank a few rods south of the southwest corner of the college campus. As we stood looking at the lot he said, How would that lot suit you? First rate, said I, only there is no building and I am unable to build. I must buy on credit and pay as I can. Well, said he, if that lot suits you I will sell it to you for just what I sold lots when first I laid out the town, and you can go to the quarry and get stone and to my lumber yard and get lumber and anything you need that I can furnish. Build you a building, keeping account of all you use, then come to me and give me your note to run until you finish your education. Then when you have finished your course you can pay me, or return the lot to me and I will give you back your note. This kindly offer I accepted in part. I accepted the lot and stone for cellar-kitchen walls, and bringing lumber from the old farm in Huron County, erected what is now the wing of the house upon the lot and there we studied until the call to war changed our plans. I shall never forget this kind offer from the grand old man, Founder of B. U. The sight ofa much worn copy of The Book Divine with this in gilt letters on its front cover: Presented by the Al- ethean Society of Baldwin University, recalled startling experiences in the spring of 1861. The call for seventy-ive thousand three months volunteers, made by the president of the United States, had not been published twenty-four hours until meetings' had been held by the students at 4 P. M. and again at 7 P. M. and a company of in- fantry started. A farewell meeting was held and Miss Harriet G. Hulet made the farewell address. Bibles, bowie knives and other articles, useful and fanciful, were presented to the departing student soldiers. To the Philozetian boys went the Bibles from the Aletheans. Hence this most highly prized keepsake. Most of the number entered the 65 O. V. I. and did valiant service in the famous Sherman's Brigade, while some entered the 7th as opportunity offered. Among those who entered the 65th with the writer were Wilbur F. Hinman, G. Stanley Pope, Geo. N. Huchins, fnobler man never went to wary Joseph Nilsay, Thomas E. Powell and C. Y. Wheeler. But an entire roll of those who gave up school prospects and entered the army from the student ranks of B. U. would contain scores of names of noble sons and true, of whom she might well entertain just pride. I 74 6 had O. J. Shoop E. C. -lncqllos U. l . Mott A. D. Nys- Awzmrdcd Ilrst place. H. C.

Union, Total, ' 14k Opponents, 33 X Baldwin and Her Athletics. 9 5' Baldwin's athletics are of apositive nature, progressing rapidly along their line of trend, but slowly, yet perhaps surely, branching out on all sides. She has never had numbers by which to commend herself to the foremost Ohioan colleges, but she has proven her quality, and by so doing forced them to recognize her high merits in both scholarship and athletic science. And to-day, though modestly, but nevertheless positively, she speaks of her foot-ball boys without the least reserve or tiniidity as to the manliness and merits of her young men. Case's practice game, as was their premature boast, netted them an ignominious defeatg Delaware, referring to Baldwin as her branch oliice, thought herself disgraced when fairly beaten by her oiiice boys, while Massillon's braggart tongue was not only stopped, but forever silenced by a complete shut out. Baldwin's athletics are in their infancy, and their record now proving her nothing short of a prodigy, what shall she attain to in the years to come? She has never sought to be classed unworthily with the first-class colleges of Ohio, but such honor has been conferred upon her as a crown for work well done and merit well won. It is needless, it seems to me, to again give the statistics of her athletic achievements, for such surprises never need be chronicled for the reference of the present generation, for upon the forehead of every friend ofold B. U. they are stamped with a never fading dye. But while her foot-ball has been a success, her base ball progress can easily be questioned. For when shorn of their foot- ball hair, the boys seem to be shorn of their strength. While, on the other hand, spring seems to be the time of public attractions and bodily listlessness. But failure thus far in this 1i11e is the result of non-support and gross neglect of duty. Much talk and little work are very poor weapons with which to succeed. Sticktoitiveness and practice are what Wins in any department, while theory is an zzgnzkfaizms, disappearing into nothingness when the light of practical contest is brought to bear upon it. Let us play ball, or else let us not play ball, for a half- hearted base ball team completely neutralizes the good work and the enthusiasm created by our foot-ball victories. Let the players be of good habits, manly, and of a moral character iitly repre- senting our college, and then, having these, put the right man in the right place regardless of previous positions or friendly influ- ences and the athletics of Baldwin will be an honor and a success. And now the coach will sing After the Ball.', S4 B. U. F oot-Ball. Q- af- I.

Ode to the Henry Clay Club. There was a club in our school Which was so very shy, All reports about it Tl1e members did deny. In vain the girls waxed curious, -I-HE HENRY CLAY CLUB- And still the wonder grew, That the members did so conceal The little that they knew. But now, alas, 'tis gone, Departed none know where, And the guandam members of that club Oft weep a salty tear. And with their tears Lamentations blend, As they mourn their club's Untimely end. 93 Cant Phrases. il il LERCH: There are others MISS WARTH: Oh, the i-de-a. G. H.
