T. ; Edmiston, who ' s picture we present herewith. For eight years, Mr. Edmiston devoted his time in Cleveland, Cincinnati, and Columbus, Ohio, Detroit, Mich., and Louisville, Ky., exclusively to expert Bookkeeping, and devising systems of accounts. His latest production in this line of work is known as the EDMISTON SYSTEM OF $ ACTUAL BUSINESS $ FOR BUSINESS COLLEGE S. It is a complete change from the methods usually employed in the Business Colleges, inasmuch, as it casts aside the OLD THEORY method of compelling a student to copy a text-book, which method, has been over and over condemned by business men. By the Edmiston System, the student who is found proficient in the English branches, enters immediately into business-handling all the necessary Commercial papers in connection with every entry made in his books. Many business men have investigated, and highly commend this system, and it is taught in Cleveland, Ohio, and Buffalo, N. Y., in the Edmiston Business Colleges only. One year ago, Mr. Edmiston gave up expert work entirely, and has devoted his entire time to the Edmiston Business College of Cleveland, Ohio, and although, this school was opened in the midst of the hard times, no Cleveland College in its palmy days, ever enjoyed such patronage as this institution.

YyOR the first time the X Ray of Baldwin University makes its appearance, and it is the I ( belief of the editors and, we trust, of all patriotic sons and daughters of our grand 1 institution, that it has come to stay. As we carefully examine the past history of Baldwin University, we find no remedy in the homes of the alumni warranted to replace the pleasant hours and happy scenes of their by-gone school days; nor do we find anything that would fitly remove, at the close of each school year, the painful expressions which hard work has placed upon the students ' brow. But we have discovered the remedy and it is yours, kind readers, so take a dose. If our fond readers find anything in the X Ray that is personal to them, we beg of you to forgive us. But remember kind friends if ever the day does come when the X Ray is wholly impersonal, you will without a doubt pray for moisture. Having consulted the oracle, we find that the only way to better acquaint all the students with one another, is to deal familiarly with all, and thereby enable each to see himself as others see him. We have endeavored to treat you all alike dear brother or sister, but if anything should appear that seems somewhat conspicuous, please turn the page quickly, and refer to it no more. Should anyone who is a reader of the X Ray discover that his bump of indignation was increasing in all directions, we beg of you once more to remember the patience of Job. We are very thankful to all who have kindly helped us in our undertaking, and to the succeeding classes we grant our best wishes. CALENDAR. 896-7. Commencement Week. 1896. 5 June Friday, 1 :30 P. m.

ERE A has ever been widely known for two things: its colleges and its immense stone industries. When in 1828, John Baldwin, with his newly wedded bride, journeyed from Connecticut to Berea, he found here little more than a dense wilderness. Cleveland at this time was a modest little hamlet of less than a thousand souls. Deer and game of all kind ranged the forests. The sharp, snarling bark of the wolf and shrill cry of wild cat were sounds often heard throughout the long winter nights. The founder of Baldwin University was born in Bradford, Connecticut, Oct. 13,1799. His father was a blacksmith and had served in the war of 1776. Young Baldwin ' s education was ' of the most meager kind. At eighteen he was converted and joined the Methodist church. After this, feeling his want of edu- cation, he borrowed books, being too poor to buy them, and by hard study and persistent work managed to enter a neighboring academy, where he fitted himself for a teacher. Sixteen years after his arrival on the Western Reserve, by his untiring energy and indomitable will he developed and had in successful opera- tion what has since become one of the greatest sand-stone industries on this continent. John Baldwin had, 1th and broad acres. In 1845, we get the first inkling of what is now known to have been the great purpose of his life. In August of that year, at the session of the North Ohio Conference of the Methodist Episcopal Church, held at Marion, O., the minutes show that he donated to the Conference a large and valuable amount of land and property for an institution of learning. A Campus of five acres, with a building (North Hall), thirty village lots, and fifty acres of land having valuable and inexhaustible stone quarries. 11 A charter was granted December 20, 1845, and Baldwin Institute was opened April 9, 1846, with a male and female department. The premises free from debt and the settled policy of the Board of Trustees not to run the institution in debt. 11 1 1 University powers were granted in 1855. Co-education from the first has been a prominent feature of the school. Never has the wisdom of this plan of education been brought in question. From the beginning, both sexes have been received on equal terms, reciting in the same classes, associating together at public gatherings, etc., and here at least the soundness of the doctrine of co-education has been proven by experience. One of the grand features of the University is the inducement it holds out to those worthy young men and women who desire a collegiate education above everything else, yet whose means are not quite sufficient to gain the desired end. To such, B. U. lends a helping hand. Originally, the campus contained two college buildings — North and South Halls, each three stories high and built of brick. In North Hall were the gentlemen ' s dorm itories, the chapel and recitation rooms. In South Hall were the ladies ' dormitories and the refectory. Around these old halls cling many hallowed recollections. The older graduates will tell you that it was while occupying these buildings, when the college was in its most flourishing condition and its classes filled to overflowing with students, that the dark cloud of war suddenly overspread our fair land. There was a call to arms. Sumpter had been fired upon. Books were thrown down, studies forgotten, and with few exceptions all who were eligible marched to the front. The ranks of old B. U. were greatly depleted during those dark days. Few ever came back to finish their college course. Many gave up their lives to uphold their country ' s honor, and instead of their names being enrolled among those of the alumni, they may be found engraved on the marble tablets in the beautiful Soldiers ' and Sailors ' Monumen t at Cleveland. North Hall with its sacred memories has long since passed away and in its stead arose Hulet Hall, completed in 1868. This hall was erected by. and largely the gift of the Hon. Fletcher Hulet. In 1883 was opened the elegant Ladies ' Hall, a beautiful stone structure four stories high, including the basement. In the basement is located the spacious refectory, store rooms, etc. The original campus, the quarry property and all the University buildings, with the exception of Ladies ' Hall, were sold in 1887 and in this way one hundred thousand dollars was added to the endowment fund. By the liberality of the purchasers, the University was given the use of the buildings up to the present time. The time approaches, however, when the historic old campus, with its delightful .shady walks, together 12 with Hulet and South Halls, must be vacated. Alumni and old students cannot give up the old stamping ground without a pang of regret. By the generosity of the citizens of Berea, the University was presented soon after the sale of the old, with a new campus of twenty-five acres, situated in the most accessible part of town, fronting on one of the principal streets. On this, at a cost of forty thousand dollars, has been erected the New Recitation Hall, which in beauty of architecture, convenience of arrangement and equipment, compares favorably with any of the more modern college buildings. The entire building is well lighted, and is heated and ventilated by the Smead system. On the southern portion of the campus is the new Philura Gould Baldwin Library building. This handsome and dignified structure was the gift of the son of the founder, Mr. John Baldwin, Jr., and wife, as a memorial to their only daughter, Philura, whose untimely death brought sadness to many hearts. The intimate relationship existing between the University and the German Wallace College, also located in Berea, gives the English students unsurpassed facilities for the study of the German and French languages and literature. This famous college is the foremost German school in this country. Hazing is never practiced at Baldwin. The yearly scramble to gain possession of the Junior ' s class flag is the nearest approach, but this is an entirely friendly and bloodless encounter. Of course, students at Baldwin are human and enjoy fun as well as at other colleges. It is related that on one occasion, a number of years ago, a student of an enquiring turn of mind entered the University. He is now one of Cleveland ' s honored and wealthy citizens. He was passionately fond of hunting and fishing, and never weary of recounting his exploits in this direction. A number of the boys resolved to have some fun at the expense of this element in his character, so one after another greatly excited his curiosity by telling him of a peculiar kind of fish that inhabited a certain mill-pond near by. This fish could not be caught with hook and line, but the method of his capture was a secret, which, they said, an old resident of the town had promised to impart to them. The next night was set apart for the great event, and it was finally agreed to allow our young friend to accompany the party. The night was beautifully bright and very hot. Arriving at the pond, a disagreement arose as to which one of the party should have the honor of actually landing the prize. After a long debate, it was, strange as it may seem, agreed to allow our enthusiast the coveted honor. He was 13 then given his instructions which were, to strip and in the most cautious manner enter the water until it reached his armpits, all the while maintaining the strictest silence. He was then to carefully open a large sack which had been given him, grasping the neck of the sack firmly with both hands, directing the opening up stream. The instructions were followed to the letter, and although an obstreperous small fish now and then made vicious jabs at unprotected portions of his anatomy, he never made a ' ' kick 1 however much he felt like it; but scarcely daring to breathe for fear of frightening away the peculiar species he was after. When the ' boys left him, ostensibly to go up the river to scare down the fish, he stood there the picture of expectancy. His clothes went with the boys, while they, after following the course of the stream until out of sight of their victim, quietly returned to their rooms, leaving our enthusiast in the water patiently waiting for the fish to come down. It is further related that a certain rustic returning home that night at a very late hour espied our fisherman, and after vainly trying to get an answer to several interrogatories, finally began pelting stones at him. This brought the young man to the shore in a hurry, when he briefly related his reasons for being there and was inclined to complain at this interruption which had spoiled a great night ' s sport. Haw! hawt haw! laughed the swain, I can tell you how you can catch a bigger fish than any you ' re lookin ' fer. How is that ? Why, you get into that thare bag and you ' ll have a bigger ' sucker ' than was ever ketched about these parts before. Light dawned on our hero and after vainly trying to find his clothes, he, like the Arab, folded (not his tent,) but his grain sack about him, and silently stole away. His reception by his fellow-students on the morrow is left to the imagination of the reader. Much of the prosperity of a college depends on the ability of its President, the strength and harmonious working of its Faculty and Board of Trustees, and the loyalty of its alumni. In all of these directions, Baldwin University is blessed in the right direction. Arthur H. Perry. T 4 LADIES ' HALL. PRESIDENT M. F. WARNER. J 1 illard Fillmore Warner, the fifth president JYl of Baldwin University, was born in Tus- 1 1 carawas Co., O., in 1848. He was fitted for college in the preparatory department of Ohio Wesleyan University, a college located at Delaware, O. In 1871, he graduated from the University, receiving the degree of Bachelor of Arts. In the fall of the same year, he went to Drew Theological Seminary where he graduated two years later with the degree of Bachelor of Divinity. His first work was service as a pastor in the Newark Conference in New Jersey. In 1879, he was transferred to the North Ohio Conference of the Methodist Episcopal Church, and served in various pastorates, among which were those of Ashland, Wellington and Shelby. In 1887, he entered the Faculty of Baldwin University and was soon after elected to the vice-presidency. A vacancy occurring in the presidential chair, through the resignation of President Stubbs, now of University of Nevada, Professor Warner was elected Acting President of Baldwin University. In 1895, Dr. Warner was elected President and transferred from the chair of Literature to that of Philosophy. In President Warner, the University has a man, wise, genial, and an educator in the truest sense of the word. Under his skillful guidance, the Uni versity is sure to have continued prosperity. He has always been a great favorite with the students. K b HE chair of Greek Language and Literature, since the year 1874, has been occupied by Professor Karl Riemenschneider, Ph. D. Karl Riemenschneider was born in Louisville, Ky., May 14, 1844. When he was only seven years old, his father, Rev. Engelhardt Riemenschneider, one of the pioneers of German Methodism, was sent to Germany as a missionary. Thus he could avail himself of the educational advantages which the excellent school-system of that country so amply offer. He received his elementary education in the primary schools of Frankfort- on-the-Main, Bremen and Bremerhafen. From the latter place, his father was transferred to Zurich (Switzerland). There Karl Riemenschneider, at the age of twelve years, became a pupil of the Gymnasium, (classical school or college), the best school of its kind in Switzerland. After passing his Maturitaets-Examen, he matriculated in the University of Tuebingen ( Wurttemberg) , where he studied philology under Teuffel and Michaelis, philosophy under Siegwart, history under Weizsaecker and Kugler. His university study was interrupted for a little more than one year, during which time he taught in the Theological Seminary of German Methodism, situated at that time in Bremen, as a substitute for the late Dr. Paulus who wished to attend the Universities of Halle and Berlin for several semesters. Just then President Warren, of Boston University, was the chief theological professor in the seminary. After Mr. Paulus ' return, he went back to Tuebingen to finish his course and to pass his examination for the Ph. D. degree. On the very day of his Rigorosum, he received a call from the Trustees of German Wallace College to the chair of Ancient Languages in that institution, and as it had always, been his fixed intention to return to the land of his birth, he accepted and began his work in German Wallace College in the Fall term of 1868. Berea has been his home since then, and though several calls have been tendered to him by far greater institutions, he has preferred to remain where he spent the first years of his professional life. In 1883 he was elected to the Vice-Presidency, with all the duties and functions of an Acting President, and in 1893, to the Presidency of German Wallace College. In 1874, when Prof. White (Harvard) resigned, Prof. Riemenschneider took charge of the Greek classes in Baldwin University, and since then has, without interruption, been connected with this institution also. PROF. CARL RIEMENSCHNEIDER. ' 7 us. S. W. Eddy, the present Preceptress of Baldwin University, was born in Medina Co., Ohio, in 1860. In 1883 she completed the classical course in Baldwin University, and in the fall of the same year married the Rev. Barton T. Eddy, of the same class, with whom she set sail for India as a missionary. What was fondly hoped might prove a life work was cut short in only three and a half years by the death of her husband and the disastrous effects of the climate. On returning to her native land she spent two years in Evangelistic and mission work in Ohio, after which she went to Utah to enter again the ranks of the missionaries, and this time in the most difficult of all fields. Here six years were spent in teaching— two in the Salt Lake Seminary and four in the Terri- torial Agricultural College of Utah. This last position she resigned to accept her present one. The Ladies ' Hall, over which she so faithfully and efficiently presides, has been the happy home of a large number of girls this year. Mrs. Eddy has done all things to promote the best interests of those under her charge, and all who come in contact with her cannot help but be uplifted both spiritually and morally. She is in every way fitted for the responsible position she has been called to fill, and it can be truthfully said that only good will and harmony are felt in the family home. In appreciation of her kindness the young ladies gave her on her birthday an Epworth League pin on which was engraved these words: To one we love. 1 ' This little incident shows how much she is esteemed by all whose privilege it is to be under her care. MRS. S. W. EDDY. iS K tCHiE Morris Mattison was born Jan. 19, 18 55, in Avon, Lorain Co., O. He is of English and Dutch descent. The professor ' s father was a Green Moun- tain Boy, having grown to manhood at the foot of the Green Mountains in Vermont. The first school Prof. Mattison attended was in Berea, in 1863, when his father was one of the pastors of Berea circuit. His school life was subject to the nomad habits of a Methodist minister ' s family, but was fortunate in the char- acter of the schools in which he received instruction. In the fall of 1872 he entered Baldwin University with the rank of sophomore. This first year in college he earned $60 as the bell ringer, the duties of the janitor at that time not including that most important service. During his high school and college courses he exhibited his great aptitude and interest for languages. He was graduated at the age of 20, the youngest gentleman in the class of 75. Soon after graduation he was elected to the superin- tendency of the Gambier schools, but in the fall was called by Dr. Schuyler, who was then president, to take charge of the Latin department of the University. The trus- tees made him professor at their annual session in 1876, and he has remained in that position until the present time, and is now the senior professor in the University. In the fall of 1878 he joined the first class of the Chautauqua Literary and Scientific Circle. In January, 1882, he was licensed to preach by the Berea Quarterly Conference. and in September, 1885, was ordained local dea- con. The summer of 1890 he spent in a tour through the British Isles. While in London he took advantage of the great opportunities afforded by the British museum to study the Anglo-Saxon and Greek and Roman antiquities. The many students who have come in contact with Prof. Mattison have always held him in the highest regard, not only as an efficient instructor but also as a Christian gentleman, whose influence has directed them to something higher than this world teaches. PROF. A. M. MATTISON. Ckank L. Clark was born in Ogden, Monroe Co., N. Y. He was educated at the 1 A. M. Chesbro Seminary, Chili, N. Y., and at the State Normal and Training School, Brockport, N. Y., being graduated from the latter in June, 1890. The same year he entered Amherst college, from which he was graduated with the degree of B. in June, 1894. From January 1, 1895, till J une of the same year Mr. Clark was teacher of Classics and German in the Cleveland Home School for Boys, Cleveland, O. Thence he was called to Baldwin University. l 9 • A. FRANK L. CLARK. PROF. JAMES H. SMITH. scientific associations of the country Science and the Ohio State Academy of Sciences James Hervey Smith, the successful professor of natural sciences and librarian in Baldwin University, was born near Massillon, Stark Co., O. As most boys on a farm, he worked hard during the summer and went to school for a few months in the winter. His desire for advanced learning led him to attend the Massillon High School, from which he graduated in 1881. The following fall he entered at Oberlin, where he was graduated in 1887. During his college course he became deeply interested in scientific research and was instrumental in causing an advanced course in chemistry to be introduced at Oberlin. The year 1887-8 he spent at Johns Hopkins University, pursuing the study of chemistry under Prof. Remsen and Dr. Renouf. The following year found him in the University of Michigan, where he gave particular attention to the study of geology under Dr. Alexander Winchell, and physics under Prof. Carhart. Each of these men is, in his specialty, almost unsurpassed. Thus Prof. Smith has had the opportunity to prepare himself under superior teachers. In the fall of 1889 he was elected to the chair of science in Baldwin University. The summer of ' 95 he spent in special study in Chicago Uni- versity. Since Prof. Smith came to the Uni- versity he has introduced several beneficial changes, among them being experimental work in chemistry. Under him more science has been taught than at any other time in the institution ' s history, and the outlook is excellent for a much farther advancement in scientific advantages for our students. The Professor is a member of two of the leading the American Association for the Advancement of 7t lbert Hallen, Professor of Mathematics and Astronomy, was born in Sweden, y Sept. 22, 1858. He was educated at the gymnasia of Boras and Gothenburg. [ He graduated from the Institute of Technology at Gothenburg in 1878. In 1889 he received the degrees of A. B. and S. T. B. from Boston University. From Boston he went to Berlin University, Germany, where he studied for two years. The next vear was passed as instructor in Hebrew in Boston University, from which he in the same year took his Ph. D. From 1892 to 1895, when he was elected to the chair of Mathematics in Baldwin University, he was president of the Methodist Theological School at Upsola, Sweden. In spite of the brief time he has been with us, his extensive field of knowledge and genial temperament have won for him many friends among the students. 20 prof, albert hallen. PROF. VICTOR WILKER. tT ROFESsoR V. Wilker, of German Wallace College, who has, since 1874, ]f had charge of the Modern Languages in Baldwin University, was born 1 near Osnabruck, Hannover, Germany, in 1842. While yet a boy, his ■ father emigrated to America, and located in Cincinnati. Here the Professor received his early education, which he continued in German Wallace College. I say continued, because Prof. Wilker is one of those true scholars who regards his education as never completed. For many years he has been an active leader in educational matters, first in the public schools, then in private schools, and since 1873, in German Wallace College, where he holds the chair of Modern Languages and Latin. He traveled abroad in 1878 and spent much time in Paris. Prof. Wilker is well known to readers of magazines and other periodicals, especially German. He has written a series of articles on the Centennial, the Paris, the Chicago, and several smaller Expositions, mostly in German. To the students of German Wallace Coll ege and those of Baldwin University who have been in his classes, his broad and liberal education, his industry and his kindness of heart have become proverbial. J 1 F. Collier, Professor of Literature, was born in Durant, Iowa, [the I — date of his birth was not furnished. — Editors.] His father was at one § time a member of the North Ohio Conference, but in 1879 he became a chaplain in the United States Army and was stationed in North Dakota until his retirement. The Professor ' s college education began at Hamline, near St. Paul, Minnesota, where he attended for three years. In the fall of 1889 he entered Ohio Wesleyan University, from which he graduated in 1892, receiving the degree of Bachelor of Science. The next three years were spent in Harvard, where he received the A. B. and A. M. degrees. In the summer of 1895 he received his call to Baldwin University. Although the Professor has been with us but a year, he has succeeded in getting his department into excellent shape. 21 PROF. G. F. COLLIER. PROF. ANNA RHODES. WJ iss Anna Rhodes was born at Clyde, yl Sandusky County, Ohio, October 1 1 31st, 1869. She attended the public schools of that place until she reached the second year of the High School. The two following years she attended High School, first at Columbus, Ohio, and then at Lincoln, Nebraska, where she would have graduated had not illness in the family made it necessary for her to return to Ohio at the opening of the spring term of her Senior year. In the fall of ' 89 she entered college at Berea, Ohio, where she remained four years, graduating with the class of ' 93. The two years following graduation she remained in the college as instructor in Greek and Latin. In the spring of ' 95 she was elected to a professorship in those branches, and was granted leave of absence for two years in order to pursue special work in the department. In the fall of ' 95 she en- tered Bryn Mawr College, at Bryn Mawr, Penna., as a graduate student in Greek and Latin. She remained there until the holi- day vacation, when ill health obliged her to give up her work for the rest of this year. T 1 iss Alberta E. James, the present in- ly I structor in the Art Department was 1 L born in Berea, Ohio, on December  4th, 1867. Having received the ele- ments of art from various Cleveland and Berea instructors, she was, at an earlv age, sent to Manchester, Iowa, where for three years she continued her work under the direct supervision of a student of French art and a graduate of the Boston Art School. Returning to her home in Berea, she occu- pied two years with work under Cleveland specialists, and in the fall of 1887 she ac- cepted the position in Baldwin University which she now holds. PROF. KATE I. BRAWN. J[J iss Professor Brawn was born at Yl Chester, Geauga Countv, Ohio, 1 1 August 27th, 1867. Her early ed- ucation was received at a district school, but when thirteen years of age she was placed in the Geauga Academy, where she remained for four years. At the age of seventeen she began to teach in the public schools. In 1888 she entered Baldwin Uni- versity, graduating with the class of ' 93. She was employed as a tutor for one year previous to graduation, and as instructor for two years after graduation. In 1895 she was given the chair of English in Bald- win University. MISS ALBERTA E. JAMES. 22 Tatson I. Taylor was born in A North Royalton, O., June 24, y j 1870. He moved to Berea in 1883 for the purpose of attend- ing school. He attended the Berea Union Schools for two years and in 1885 entered Baldwin University , from which college he graduated with the class of 1893. The following year he was appointed instructor of Mathe- matics and Physics, which position he holds at the present time. PAUL B. STROUP. tjAUL B. Stroup. born at Troy, O., in 1874, His father being a Methodist minister, ' 1 his removes are too numerous to men- tion. His education was completed at Wooster in 1893. He studied music in the Wooster Conservatory and also in the Cleveland School of Music. He taught one year in Cen- tral College in Ohio and two years ( ' 94 and ' 95) in Toulon Academy, 111. In both of these posi- tions he was eminently successful. In the fall of ' 95 he was called to Baldwin University as instructor piano, where he has given most excel- lent satisfaction. WATSON I. TAYLOR. 23 Walter C. Howell, instructor in voice and harmony, was born in London, Eng., Feb. 17, 1864. His early education was received in a private school. After coming to America he studied music in the Conservatory of Music in Cincinnati and also in Cleveland School of Music. In 1890 he became a professor in Baldwin University, which place he has held until the pres- ent, having been very successful in his work. WALTER C. HOWELL. PKOF. JOHN G. SCORER. John G. Scorer, Professor of Elocution, was born in the year 1859. He spent the greater part of his boyhood in the Keystone State, where, nineteen years ago, he began in the public schools of Westmoreland Co. his work as a teacher. Since then he has occupied prominent positions in normal schools, colleges and Chautauqua assemblies. Prof. Scorer received his professional training under some of the best teachers in the elocutionary profession, among them Walter C. Lyman of Chicago and Mark Bailey of Yale College. He is a graduate of the Department of Oratory of the Northwestern Univer- sity of Evanston, 111., under the direction of Prof. R. L. Cumnock. 2 4 2 5 SENIOR CLASS HISTORY. THE class of ' 96 has had a varied and remarkable history. From the Freshman year up circumstances have brought this class into prominence before the students and public at large more than other classes in Baldwin. All through its college course it has been characterized by a spirit of advancement. A brief mention of the reforms instituted by this class may be sufficient proof of the foregoing statement. In the fall term of their Freshman year the class was organized. After a series of class meetings, cream and royal purple were chosen as colors. Our colors we delight to show, As well as our vast knowledge, For we ' re the royal class, you know, The cream of all the college. Early in the year they also adopted mortar-boards as class hats. With these the class made a very imposing appearance, and I dare say that then for the first time the eyes of the public gazed upon true classical personages. Their distinction was so great that President Stubbs conferred upon them the chief honors of the year, viz. : the decora- tion of Hulet Hall for Columbus Day and the meeting of the Cleveland Alumni on Commencement Day. In the last instance especially did they do themselves justice, since there were about twenty-five to meet eleven visiting alumni. The Sophomore year is decided upon by the class as the year of special triumph. Instead of getting out the usual bogi at the time of Junior Exhibition, a neat annual, thoroughly kind and wholesome, was published. Another feature of this occasion was the aid extended to the Juniors in successfully carrying out their program, both in the fur- nishing of an appropriate motto and showing their appreciation by hearty applause. In the Junior year they were the victims of a scheme, which circumstance made them the first class to abandon the custom of appearing for Junior Exhibition. At that time was brought about a reform which will be a blessing to the school to the end of its e xistence. The Senior year is exceptionally marked by the changes instituted. The class during Commencement week will appear in Oxford caps and gowns. Instead of delivering the customary orations on Commencement Day, the class thought it better to relieve the people of this tiresome ordeal, and so have secured one of the leading scholars of the land to deliver the Commencement address. Class Day Exercises will occur the day before Commencement Day. A kindly class feeling has been steadily increasing through all these years. The class as it now stands is com- posed of those who have been in regular attendance throughout the five years, with the exception of one, who has been here for about three years. Two former B. U. students will join the class at Commencement. While not as large as some classes which have graduated from the institution, all are earnest students and we are confident that the world will be better for their lives. 26 28 J. D. WATSON. H K.

IT IS with feelings of exuberant pride and patriotic felicitation that we formally introduce to a waiting world the matchless aggregation of colossal wisdom and versatile ability recorded in the Book of Fame by the Grand Chief Scribe of Fortune, as the Junior Class. At the very inception of its illustrious career, the class of ' 97 ingratiated itself into the favor of the gods, evi- dence of which was given by the appearance of a messenger, the gleaming-eyed Here, who spoke as follows: Favorites of the gods, dwelling in Olympian homes, Most fortunate beings among men — I greet you ! High-spirited Zeus, delighting in thunder, Sends you this message from the summits of many-peaked Olympus: ' The gods of Olympus in council assembled Have decreed that ye are the people ! And attended by Hebe, the immortals ' fair messenger, Ye shall drink the nectar of knowledge from the founts of old Baldwin. ' On swift-footed Olympian steeds ye shall canter O ' er the hidden snares in the land of Homer and Horace; And first in all the revolving years of great Zeus, Te shall escape the woes that have fastened themselves on the Juniors. ' In the perverted Olympian Games on the day known to mortals As February twenty-second, and through the dark clouds of Olympus Shall shine upon ' 97 a glorious X ray of gladness ! ' Thus she spoke ; and thus have the decrees of the gods been fulfilled. The broad humanitarian spirit of the class of ' 97 was manifested in its cordial, sympathetic interest shown in the memorable hour of the death and burial of the late lamented Junior Exhibition. The class has contributed its share to college athletics, having the popular and successful manager of the Ath- letic Association, besides a few giants who have won conspicuous honor on the athletic field ; it has also made a creditable record in oratory, and has acquired literary fame by writing ' 97 at the editorial head of Baldwin Uni- versity ' s great educational monthly, The Bulletin, universally conceded to be the best college paper published between Cleveland and Olmstead Falls. Lastly, and in conclusion, it remains but to be said that in June, 1897, the members of this class, having been present and perfectly prepared at every recitation in their college course, and having attended two churches every Sunday, will perform the annual act of pointing suffering humanity to the fate of Greece and Rome, and will then go forth to reform humanity and subdue the earth. 30 ©fficers.

ONE of the greatest attractions about the class of ' 98, B. U. is that its members don ' t think they are smart. We may have failings in other directions, but from this one weakness of the average Sophomore year we are spared. There were twenty-six of us gathered in the fall of ' 95 ; nine bonny lasses and seventeen noble youth, and each one an honor to the University. What other class can boast of preachers, teachers, musicians, artists, foot- ball players, base-ball players, book agents, etc., etc., as ' 98 is able to do ? Don ' t our Yale canes and yellow ribbons put every thing else in the shade though ? Socially, we have good times by ourselves sometimes. While our banquet and sleigh ride failed to come off as we had hoped, we had lots of other good times to look back upon. Nor must our girls be forgotten. Don ' t we fur- nish the organist for chapel, soloists, elocutionists, oratoresses, etc. Three of the lady contestants for the home oratorical contest were Sophs, and the winner of the first place here and the second place at the State Contest, was one of our honored members. Besides all this our girls can sew, and cook, and keep house just as well as any who are inferior in the above mentioned accomplishments. Last fall we had our foot-ball team organized, and most of the best members of the ' Varsity belonged to us too, so we had a team not to be sneezed at. The other classes realized this, and ne ' er a one could w r e get to accept our challenges till Thankgiving, when the Juniors and Seniors combined forces the last thing, as five of our men were away, and said they would like to play a half hour game with us ! Caesar ' s Ghost ! Of course, gentlemen that we were, we would not accept on such short notice after their repeated refusals, so we just naturally gave them the slip. This last action of ours has called forth some comment upon our bravery not altogether flattering ; but we can ' t always expect to be appreciated by the common herd, and in spite of all we have risen far above the censure and reproach they would inflict in scorn upon this event. How discouraging it must be to other classes to think of what ' 98 has done this year ! What fields are there left for other heroes to conquer? We have more in number than any other Sophomore class has ever had in B. U. We have absolutely finished Junior Ex. in a manner highly credible to ourselves. We have kept singularly free from the ill will of other classes. We have pulled together in all our undertakings. Best of all, we have put out an Annual second to none. Hurrah for ' 98 ! ! ! 32 T. W.

WE ARE of the persuasion that history is the one important study in the college curriculum, whether it be history of individuals, families, communities, societies, institutions of all sorts, or classes. So, at this period of our development, before we are obliged to order our hats made high and large around in order to fit our adult craniums, we desire to call the atten- tion of our fellow students, the reading public at large, and especially the subjects of prepdom to the great nuggets of wisdom to be accumulated by carefully observing our progress up the ladder of success, and meditating upon the physical, intellectual and psychological principles which lie at the foundation of all true success, as exem- plified in the class of ninety-nine. During the tranquil days of our prepdom we were somewhat more numerous than at present, but not ne so homogeneous. Some of our former classmates have jumped to the ranks of most noble Sophomores. Others would like to have done so, but have long since repented in sack-cloth and ashes. Still others, perhaps through a false pride, are astride the fence ; they are mugwumps ; they cannot attain the ranks of noble Sophomores, and are proud to join the meek and modest though aspiring Freshmen. I have used the adjective modest : now, we are sure that no one who is acquainted with our talents believes otherwise than that we are very modest in our claims for future greatness, which we make in the latter part of this history. Our class colors are old gold and blue. In abundance, in richness, and in harmonious effect these colors are unsur- passed (in B. U. ) All people admire them. The Sophomores ' admiration developed into a mania. The Fresh- man yell, which may be found on another page of these annals, has never been surpassed in the history of B. U. This indisputable fact has never been denied by any living soul (or dead either, for that matter.) One of the class of ' 99, during his or her entire academic career, had the high reputation of being the most bashful person in the school. This one has a few worthy competitors for this honor at present, however. Inasmuch as we have just entered upon our collegiate course, a considerable portion of this history will be devoted to a preview rather than a review. However, our references to the future are fully justified by our presen accomplishments. In the remaining lines we desire to point out some of the reasons for saying that great wisdom will be gained by the careful perusal of history ' s pages during the time that we shall be engaged in stamping our impress upon that history. I. General Mention. (a.) The members of our class (females included) during their pre-collegiate course of training at B. U. and other places, have laid a foundation of adamant upon which to build the edifice of class supremacy, and, after gradua- tion, the edifice of individual supremacy. (b.) They have all graduated from the University of Common Sense. II. Individual Mention. (a.) We have in our ranks some who are destined to lift the world ' s ideal of life to a higher plane by the power, resonance and melody of their voices. They will be Patti ' s superiors. For the enlightenment of the public it perhaps ought to be inserted here that the above mentioned are to be equipped with automatic, adjustable mental larynges by the new physician of the twentieth century, with which they can sing anything from basso to soprano. (b.) Others are especially skillful in the manipulation of musical instruments, e. g., fiddles and pianos. These will be more proficient by and by. (c.) We combine two points in the following: Every well balanced, all-around class must have its quota of educators and reformers. The educators of our land are doing a great and noble work for our American citizenship. Our educators, e. g. Freshmen, are people with advanced ideas and methods. They will usher in the new century with better schools. The children of future generations will sing the praises of our advanced educational system. The orig- inality and superior ability of one of our number has already been recognized by the faculty and trustees of B. U. This man combines the qualities of reformer with those of educator. The wide spread and alarming deterioration of the 37 human race, particularly college students and great men in one of the acquired arts, has led this philanthropic gentle- man to devote a considerable portion of his long experience to the investigation and remedial means ot this shocking depravity. I refer to handwriting. His success here is a prophecy that in his future greatness he will, In the world ' s broad field of battle, In the bivouac of life, Be a hero in the strife. (d ) It is whispered about (within a limited circle) that one or two of our members may be the new doctors of the twentieth century. Who can tell but that it is the decree of fate that these shall be the M. D. ' s (doctors of medi- cine) who shall fit our nightingales with metal voice boxes. (e.) At this point we desire to again call the attention of the reading public to the fact that next years annual, if published by the Soph ' s, will have the best executed illustrations that have ever appeared in any college publication since the flood. We have an artist who, even in the infancy of his skill, is a master of his art ( ?) (f.) We also have some who have developed unmistakable signs that they will follow in the footsteps of Ohio ' s best -farmers. Thev have great perseverance, power of argumentation, and an unlimited flow of eloquence. (g ) The oracles, the Sibylline books, the haruspices have been consulted, and all responses will not fully be fulfilled but also surpassed ; however, we hesitate : we halt ; we give up the task of further depicting the attainments of the class of ' 99. THE PREPARATORY. WE will not introduce our Preps as such things are never introduced, but thrown on the world and we must take them for good or for ill. They are omnipresent and seem to have a hand in everything which is going on about the U. They can always be told by their meek and unoffensive demeanor, with the questions, Who? What? When ? Where ? written on their countenances. The queries Whence it cometh and Whither it goeth are as appli- cable to the Prep as to any wind which ever blew. It is in these ranks we find the verdant youth just let loose from high school. We look with amusement, although not without an occasional feeling of pity on the desperate struggles put forth by these unhappy victims in their efforts to forget mother and the memories of the well filled pantry, when they are going through their first experiences in college and first being dieted on the student ' s fare. These heroic efforts are, however, always well rewarded, and the Prep of Old Baldwin always wins the day. The following is a copy of a letter written by one of our Preps last fall and is a typical example of the emotions which fill their hearts during the first term. Berea, Ohio, Sept. igth, 1895. Dear Bill: — I told you that I would write and tell you about college as soon as I could. To-night as it is not yet 10 o ' clock I will try and write you a few lines before I have to go to bed. You just ought to be up here Bill ! There is more things to interest a fellow up here than at any show you were ever at. I will try and begin at the first. Well when the conductor on the railroad yelled out Berea, things began to get interesting. I wanted to get up and run but I have traveled to much old boy to do that so I just sat still until the cars got clear stopped. Then I got up and got clear off of them before they got started again. Well then I came around the depot and saw what looked to be a car off the track but I found out it was not a car from off the railroad but it was a street car. I got in and only had to pay a nickel to ride clear up town. It was fun I tell you. Well the next thing I saw was recitation hall and the library. Say, Bill ! You just ought to see them ! I ' ll bet they cost pretty near a million dollars. Well I got off the car and thought I would go and look at them. I was almost there when I heard a door open and looking up I saw a 40 girl coming out. I thought she was a dandy. That was the first girl I saw but you just bet I saw some more after that. There are more girls up here than you ever heard tell of. We used to think the girls in the senior class at High School were pretty nice but I tell you they are not in it with the girls of B. U. You ought to be here to go with some of them. I caught the best one of them and I ' m going to just keep on going with her. I don ' t believe any one can cut me out for she likes me real well. She didn ' t say so but I haven ' t lived in this world so long without learning to tell what other people think. Say, I didn ' t tell you about the thing that they call the pipe organ, did I? You just ought to see that. It is as big each way as the barn door. It has a wh ole lot of pipes, I ' ll bet almost a hundred and the girl that plays it plays with her feet. There is a fellow pumps it all the time. The pipes are big and hollow. The ends look just like the ends of willow whistles. Then there are the big holes that they get stones from that we build walks with. They ' re big I tell you. I haven ' t been in one yet but I ' m going to go in one. Well I guess this is all, it is 10 and I must go to bed. Tell the boys I am having a big time. Yours, Fred. Nothing has happened to disturb the smiling surface of their unruffled sea this year. No dire calamities have befallen the innocents, and they are now abiding in peace and happiness coming up at each and every class and always with perfect lessons, not yet having learned the arts of cutting and remarking Didn ' t get that far Dr. We feel proud to see that our prep department gives better evidence of something great in the future than do most of these factions in other colleges. The most marked evidence we have of this is the fact that the man who secured second place in the oratorical contest, Mr. C. F. Mott, comes from among these ranks. Our Preps should indeed feel proud of this fact. It should animate them with a glowing zeal to great efforts, for who knows but that some of them will be sent abroad to represent us in some noble cause? Invoking God ' s blessings on all prepdom (and its territories,) we will now leave them to pursue the even tenor of their way and grow up to bring honor and renown to their Alma Mater. 4 1 CLASSICAL MUSIC AT B.

The University is exceedingly fortunate in having this department under the control of the Cleveland School of Elocution and Oratory, of which Professor John G. Scorer, M. O., is the principal. He has attained an enviable reputation as an entertainer, lecturer and teacher, and is so well known to the public that an extended sketch seems superfluous. He is an entertainer of delightful and most sympathetic qualities, now arousing hearty laughter and merri- ment and then stirring up the deepest emotions. The evening entertainments are of the most pleasing of the year. The recital of Tennyson ' s famous poem, Enoch Arden, was a splendid success, and, as an educational incident among the many rich treats of Baldwin University, will take high rank. We are well aware of the fact that there is plenty of gabble in every university ; there is some oratory, and a small amount of eloquence. Let us lay aside our gabble, and engage in oratory, the only weapon that is able to penetrate the gloomy shadows that hover o ' er us; the only weapon that will sustain us against the attacks of the Oberlin ' Varsitx foot-ball team : the only weapon that is able to place Miami, Otterbein and Heidelberg at our feet. As the quarry holes are round about Berea, just so are the avenues to great and glorious success about you. If you will enter the race to-day, how easy it will be for you to hold first place.

O DEPARTMENT of Baldwin University has made greater prog- ress during the last two years than that of Art, or has proceeded upon its work in a more pleasing and thorough manner. Art for many years seemed to be without a place in B. U., but to-day, under the instructor, Alberta E. James, it has risen from deplor- ableness to the condition in which you find it at present. Students who have never visited this department had better do so at once, for you are neglecting one of the greatest opportunities offered. If you are laboring under the impression that there is nothing in Art to interest you, your case is a very pitiable one, for which we are all willing to sacrifice something in order that your understanding with reference to things beautiful shall be of such a kind that the danger of an unexpected explosion of ignorance in the presence of your most respectful friends will be guarded. We assure you that a half hour spent in investigation will prove that there is more in free-hand drawing than you had ever dreamed of before. The class in out-door sketching can show you enough in ten minutes to make you drunk with wonder. You will observe paintings from still life, landscapes, flowers from nature and from copy, wood carving and china decoration. Take notice of the draperies and casts to draw from, and the excellent variety of studies from nature for use of pupils. If, after observing these things you are still wondering and saying to yourself, What good to the world are such things? go take thyself to the nearest insane asylum and give yourself up as a fool ; or, if after observing the grandeur thereof you are still saying, Isn ' t it elegant? go at once and make arrangements to begin work. 47 PHRENO-COSMIAN SOCIETY. N BALDWIN ' S earlier days, when the college attendance consisted for the most part of rugged country lads, there met in solemn council one balmy October evening several men from the student body. Clad in homespun, awk- ward and angular in appearance, wearing a crudely dignified yet thoughtful air, they solemnly entered the chapel and took seat upon a bench. They had come to organize a Literary. When at home upon the farm many a long and dreary winter evening had they passed in blissful pleasure at the old log school house, where weekly they were wont to meet and decide the weighty questions of the hour. Is the horse more useful than the cow? was settled about once a month, and that ponderable grey matter stimulator, If a hen hatch ducks, is she the true and lawful mother? often ruffled the philosophical encephalonic abilities of these horny handed Platos. So in short the material, somewhat raw yet capable of infinite development, was on hand. It organized and the result is conspicuously in existence to-day. For some time the Ciceronic body continued to thrive. Then trouble arose within and half the members withdrew — went off on a strike, as it were — and established a little independent boom for themselves. Emblazoned upon their invisible banner one could plainly read the soul-stirring motto, Eloquc Aude, which ponied out meaneth Have the unadulterated nerve to be eloquent. From this has Phreno-Cosmian history began. The chip off ' the old block soon grew to be larger than the stump. To-day we rank first among the literary element of the College. In the entire school there are but three societies that will dare to deny it. Many of our grad- uates have spread their intellectual wings and floated level with the heights of thought, others have gone as deep the other way, some are still flopping and some have not yet raised their wings. Phreno oratory has echoed and reverberated from a thousand public rostrums and shaken the citadels of many classic halls. Not content with its narrow bounds it has entered the oratorical arena and sought by the terrorizing vibration of its epiglottidian cords to win laurels afresh. But alas ! In the words of that immortal Card the Poet, The best laid plans of mice and men oft go glimmering. Now we ' re sorry that we trifled with their giants ; our wish is to let b -gones be by-gones. We must confess our dislike for discussing events of the recent past. While we are somewliat modest and never boast, we cannot refrain from informing the anxious though already wearied public that the Editor and Business Manager of the Annual, likewise the Editor and Business Manager of the Bulletin, are active members of this society and in good standing. It is also worthy of mention that at a recent meeting, Grover Cleveland, President of the U. S., and etc., etc., was after much heated and grandiloquently bombastic discussion, elected an honorary member of our digni- fied body, on condition that he alter his views on the tariff, but up to the arrival of the last mail he has not wired us his official thanks. It is rumored that Queen Vic. may be the next Vic-tim. Thus we are diligently and industriously moulding for ourselves a glorious future destiny. Everv year we put our members through the clothes-wringer of Oratorical Perfection. Upon the walls of our society room hangs our barn door sign. It any skeptic doubts we still exist, let him gaze upon its glittering expanse, and be convinced. 48 PHRENO COSMIAN SOCIETY. FOUNDED IN 1857. fl breno Hletbean. MONDAY EVE., NOV. II, 1895. PROGRAMME.

ALETHEAN SOCIETY. FOUNDED IN 1855. ALETHEAN SOCIETY HISTORY. THE ' Alethean Literary Society was organized in 1855 and has enjoyed forty-one years of prosperity, until to-day it stands as one of the foremost organizations of its kind in Baldwin University. It has had trials, of course, but has always been able to meet all difficulties and surmount all obstacles, until now it stands forth in all the glory of an active society in splendid working order. At one time there was not the same harmony that now exists, for the society was engaged m an internal conflict which resulted in the secession of part of her number and the formation of a new society. For a long time there were feelings of strong animosity existing between the two, but the feeling has changed to one of the friendliest sort, and nothing stronger than a wholesome rivalry now exists. The society was organized for the purpose of - developing the social, moral and intellectual powers of its members, and especially to cultivate the art of writing and speaking. It has kept its object steadily in view in all the past years of its history. The programmes have been rich and varied, and of a high order. This, however, could scarcely be different from the very location of the Alethean parlors, they being elevated and well suited to lofty thoughts. There have been debates on all the important questions of the day, and while other societies may have settled some ot them, still, the Aletheans claim to have decided a goodly number of important questions, such as Veal vs. Beef. Resolved :— That Man is not Inferior to Woman, etc. There have been orations and soarations, poetry and blank verse, and many other things which have tended to make the programmes indeed feasts of reason. There have been Alethean Annuals and Alethean Reunions, and many things which indicate that those who were once active members do not forget their society, though engaged in a life work elsewhere. The fact that the Aletheans have a band of Phreno brothers of whom they are justly proud, must not be over- looked, for many interesting things have come to pass from this friendly relation. This year has been one of unusual success, the numbers being larger and working force better than ever before. Though it was not the society ' s good fortune to win first place at the recent Oratorical Contest, its members went home resolved that they would not be discouraged by one defeat, but be there again next year to win. 5 2 HletbeaiHpbreno.

THE origin of what is now known as the Philozetian Literary Society of Baldwin University dates back almost a half century ago. When first organized on Feb. 2nd, 1849, it was known as the Literary Lyceum of Baldwin Institute. The Society was known by this name till the tenth of September, 1852, when it was changed to Philolothian Literary Society. But time went on and the name of Baldwin Institute was changed to that of Baldwin University ; and the members of the Philolothian Society thought as the name of the institution had been improved, so ought the name of the society. And after much discussion and consideration the name was changed from Philolothian to Philozetian Society, by which name it has been known since January 21st, 1855. The Philozetian and the Alethian Societies, the former for young men and the latter for young women, were the pioneer literary societies of Baldwin University, both being organized the same year. The Philozetian Society was conducted for many years without being incorporated ; but on the twenty-fifth of May 1883 it was incorporated and according to section 3241 of the statutes of Ohio the articles of incorporation are here given. Berea, Ohio, May 22, iSSj. We, the undersigned natural persons, the majority of whom are natural citizens of the state of Ohio, desire to become a body corporate having associated ourselves together in accordance with the provisions of the laws of the state of Ohio. The name and style of the association is and shall be known as the Philozetian Literary Society of Baldwin University. Its location is and shall be in Berea, Cuyahoga county, Ohio. Its object is and shall be the improvement of its members in moral and intellectual culture, composition and oratory. ( Hiram W. Kellogg, John M. Moreland, Johnston Thurston, Signed ) Barton T. Eddy, Myron W. Reece, M. M. Miner, ( Jo hn M. Stiarus, M. D. Oswalt. At present the members of the Society number thirty-one. Since the charter was granted to the Society, in 1883, there have been two hundred and seventeen young men members of it. 54 The Philozetian as well as the other three societies of Baldwin University has sent out some very prominent men, a few of whom will be named : A. M. Mattison. now professor of Latin and Anglo-saxon in this Institution, also local Elder in the North Ohio Conference, B. T. Eddy who went to India as a missionary and gave his life in his efforts to show the heathen the way to Christ, Lucius Smith who went to Mexico as a missionary and wrote one of the best grammars of the Spanish language, A. W. Hayes now in Rochester, N. Y., Mr. Phillips now Professor Phillips, of Marietta, W. C. Dawson, D. D., of Tiffin, O., C. J. Albert now at the head of the Albert Teacher ' s Agency of Chicago, Ira Richards, now a missionary in India, who will return this summer, W. D. Ball who was a bright and shining light until his death a short time ago, Alfred H. Welsh who was the author of many text books with which many are familiar. Many more might be given but space will not permit. The home of the Society has been changed many times. At first it w r as held in private rooms ; it was held for a while in North Hall ; it next took up its residence in an upper room of the old stone laboratory, from which it was removed in 18S2 to Old South Hall. Although the hall was not new it was a new place for the Society and the members held a dedication service. A somewhat varied program was rendered and Professor Mattison delivered the dedicatorial address. The final move was made in January 1896 and now the Philozetian Society, together with the Pheno Cosmian Society and the Young Men ' s Christian Association occupies the beautiful room in the second story of the Philora Gould Library building. The members of the Philozetian Society are truly proud of their society and hold it very dear. With no ill will to any other society they strive for its best interests. Not to be loyal and anxious to advance the interests of the Society is not to be a Philo. Their motto is Without labor, no success. The members seem to realize that this is indeed true, and therefore they labor hard in order that their success may be certain. They are not only proud of the literary talents which are displayed by the members but are also proud of the morality which is manifested by them. The past history of this socie ty has been marked by great results, but greater results may be attained in the future. Members of the Philozetian society ! strive lawfully and your success is certain. 55 MONDAY, MARCH 16, 896. HYMN, No. 178 DECLAMATION, The Modern Belle Invocation. F. Oscar Baldwin.

On Feb. 23, 1867, the name was changed to Clionian, because the names Athenian and Alethian were confusing. Since that time more than 600 Clios have gone out into the world bearing the motto esse quam videre, and the number of mem- bers added yearly to the ranks shows that the society is still prosperous. In 1868, the Society moved from Baldwin Hall to what is now Philozetian Hall, then Dr. Pierce ' s recitation room. This room contained only two chairs, a table and a few benches. The Society obtained permission of the faculty to consider this room as Clio property. By heavily taxing the members, they were soon able to buy a carpet for their floor, and to place paper upon the walls. The heroic class of ' 68 made and laid the carpet, and hung the paper with their own hands. Later the Society purchased and made curtains, also bought chairs and pictures with which to fur- nish their room. Soon after they purchased a beautiful chan- delier. The year ' 68 is also eventful, as being the time of the CLIO HALT. first Philo-Clio reception, and the first reunion of the four societies. For a long time the Society edited a paper called the Ol ive Branch, for which the members prepared articles with great care and labor. Most of the members of this Society have been classical stu- dents. Because the Clios devoted themselves assiduously to litera- ture, prepared elaborate and carefully written programs and entertained their guests in a lit- erary manner, they were for many years called, by their rivals, ' •Blue Stockings. When the Clios moved to their present quarters, they found the room only partially completed. They finished and furnished their elegant parlors, and now own all their beautiful furniture, including the piano. That the Society has not lost any of its former literary excellence is shown by the fact, that One of its present mem- bers was lately chosen to represent the college at the State Oratorical Contest. 58 CUolpbUo IReceptton.

Gbe IReunton In the Recitation Hall, At our Dr. Warner ' s call Students young and students old, Students fresh and very bold, Students shy and rather fearful, Students homesick — rather tearful, Students tired and somewhat cross, Students sometimes at a loss What to do with hands and feet. Hence they keep the selfsame seat, Watch the others as they glide, Here and there from side to side, Wishing they were in the swim, Promenading all so trim. Students one another greet, Ask another one to meet, Ask that one to take a walk, Then they talk and laugh and talk, Talk about the wind and weather, Then they often wonder whether They will stay another year, How they like it thus far here, Ask what studies they pursue, If they many people knew, How they rank and what they play, Wonder if — but by the way, 75 Have you met that Mr. Joys, The jolliest one of all the boys? If not, may I introduce? But wait a moment while 1 ask Will you help me meet Miss Trask? ' Tis done, the great transactions done, The man is found, the lady won, And then these four they take a walk, And likewise talk and laugh and talk, While students homesick — rather tearful, Become most glad and gay and cheerful, While those who quietly kept a seat, Now gladly rise a friend to greet, And feel a thrill of joyfulness As moments ' pon each other press. The time so quickly flies away, And soon we hear the Doctor say We joy to see you glad and gay, At this late hour on Saturday, We bid you all a pleasant eve, As each one now will take his leave. And thus, politely asked to go. Each one, with sweet-heart, lover, beau, Leaves for this year Reunions Hall, To await next year the Doctor ' s call. Within the narrow boundaries Which a student ' s wardrobe guards, Surrounded by his shirts and ties, Lay a pack of wicked cards. Not many weary hours they spent In this dark and dreary place, For to the student boys so bent, Many nights of pleasure grace. And oft when playing with the cards They would whisper soft and low, Of faculties and their rewards, Did they but their mischief know. And so the cards began to marvel, What were faculties and Profs, Where was the place that they called chapel, Why they locked it from the Sophs. And while they marveled grew the purpose Recitation hall to visit, To see this faculty morose, Who commanded not at cards to sit. And then they thought of all the trials Sure to hinder such a raid, Then spoke an Ace : Take no denials, Tell them all ' A spade ' s a spade. ' And then up spoke a mighty King, If clubs I manage fifty-two, And they would ne ' er dishonor bring, King and Queen alike so true. The mightiest force of all the list Were a tribe of red, red hearts, For power of worlds cannot resist Diamonds joined with Cupid ' s darts. So thus courageous forth they went, Thro ' the streets of midnight silence, Across the campus like a cloud, sent White and airy from the darkness dense. Then fluttering round about the hall, Found an opening in the window. And thro ' it all they soon did crawl, Landing in the room below. Then up the stairs they scampering pour. Till they reached the chapel famous, A crack is seen beneath the door, Through they squeeze with quite a fuss. And now they look with satisfaction Round about the storied place, And they boast of their brave action, Bragging is each king and ace. So they reveled till the morning, Jumping o ' er the seats and pulpit, Upon the organ tack a warning, Which the faculty did hit. But all at once there came a step Treading on the chapel stairway, Which all the cards to flight did put, Scattering fast the pack so gay. And they into the hymn books ran. Got into the holy Bible, Within the piano ' s bright bands, They scaped wherever they were able. The janitor it was who came, Found those cards hid all so nicely, Who spoiled the pleasant little game, And straightened all things back precisely But there were students in the school Boldly said the Sophs did bring them, And they did break the college rule, In the Bible they did fling them. Alas, will virtue e ' er gain its reward, Students e ' er brought to receive, The Sophs very soon they must regard, And their truth and goodness believe. 7 6 Cbapel flDeoitatton.

THE following is a report of a faculty meeting held Nov. 2, 1895, and was submitted by the secretary as a model for publication in the Annual. Dr. Warner — Please come to order. We can wait no longer for our delinquent members. Questions of grave importance present themselves for our solution tonight. Profs. Clark and Collier are not here. Do any of you know where they are? Prof. Mattison — I suppose Prof. Collier is lost on Beech street and is wandering hopelessly around the public school building in a frantic endeavor to find the Orphan Asylum and a single wild Rose and Prof. Clark is probably Wait(e)ing for him on Bridge street. {Enter tardy members .) We were just speaking of you. How do you find things at the Public schools tonight? ( Collier giggles, Clark looks cross.) Dr. Warner — Come to order please. The secretary will read the minutes of the last session. Sec. — The meeting was called to order by the president. The subject for discussion was the rank of the present Junior class. Mr. Windsor was admitted on the following terms: Taken — Two years of spelling, one year of Arith- metic and one term of Geography. To be taken — One year Girlology and one term of Polish. The next case dis- cussed was that of Mr. Watson. There were some objections on the ground that he had not taken Campusing and could not take it this year on account of a German conflict. He was finally allowed to substitute the Elective work he is doing at Delaware in Girlology. The discussion having taken so much time, Prof. Collier moved an adjournment. Pres. Warner — ' ' Are there any objections to the minutes? If not they will be recorded as read. Shall we proceed with the classification of the Juniors? Prof. Hallen — Mr. President, I think the students have shown great lack of respect for our president, especially Mr. Jones who not long ago had no more manners than to knock him flat upon his back in a snow drift and there leave him to perish in the cold. Now I move you that Mr. Jones be not allowed to play crokinole in Ladies ' Hall parlors any more. Prof. Brawn — I second the motion. Dr. Warner — All in favor please say Aye. All— Aye! 82 Prof. Collier — Mr. President, there is a matter which I wish we might consider in fart this evening. I will try to be very fccipc and I think I can explain in fart what I mean. I have found it necessary to make what you might call an iron-clad rule. I mean to stand by it and if the students do not have their themes in at the specified time they must be signed by the president. Now I want them to take this matter seriously, take it to heart in fact, for when I say . a thing I mean it. I think every one will find that out for I ' ve been very fccific. I have -presented the matter with what you might call color and atmosphere. Prof. Mattison — ' ' Seeing Prof. Collier reminds me of a conundrum. Why is a bald-headed man like the kingdom of heaven? What! no one guesses it? Because there is no parting there. Mrs. Eddv — It seems to me it is all parting. Prof. Collier — We are getting too factcciousT Prof. Clark — Unless we consider the case of one of our professors who so flagrantly violated the rules not long ago, I move you that we return to the classification of the Juniors. Prof. Smith — I did not know that any rule had been violated. Who is the guilty party? I don ' t think, though, that the faculty should be reprimanded. They ought to be allowed to do as they please. Prof. Clark — The hurt bird always flutters. One of our number attended the theatre when he pretended to be at a Sunday school convention. I suppose you have no idea who it is, Prof. Smith? Prof. Smith — I move you that we return to the classification of the Juniors. Dr. Warner — Who is the next case to be considered? Sec. (Prof. Mattison) — Mr. Gott is the next case to be considered, if you wish to express it in that way. Pres. Warner — Will Mr. Gott please leave the room. Mr. Gott — I decline ! I propose to hear my case discussed. Pres. Warner — Very well. Remain if you can stand it. What has Mr. Gott taken? Sec. — He has taken three years of Girlology, has credit for two years of Surveying, because he has measured the distance between town and Gott ' s Corners so often, ( Gott hastily leaves the room) and two terms of Stargazing. He has had no Arithmetic and Grammar but intends to take these under a private tutor at Rockport. Mrs. Eddy — I move you that he be admitted to the class of ' 97. Pres. Warner — Is there a second to the motion? Prof. Smith — I second the motion. Pres. Warner — All in favor please say Aye. 83 All— Aye! Sec— I have here a letter from C. F. English who wishes to enter the Junior Class m the spring. ' To the Faculty of B. U. : — I am a graduate of Drew Theological Seminary but have never taken a degree from a University. I would like to enter B. U. in the spring and graduate with the class of ' 97. I am sure you will find me a valuable addition for I stand very high in my own estimation and any University that I choose to enter may consider itself highly favored. Respectfully, C. F. English. Prof. Brawn — I move you that he be admitted to the Junior class. Pres. Warner — Is there a second? Mrs. Eddy — I second the motion. Pres. Warner — All in favor please say Aye ! All— Aye ! Pres. Warner — The motion is carried. Prof. Collier — I move you that we do now adjourn. Prof. Clark — I second the motion. Pres. Warner — All in favor please say Aye. All— Aye! Prof. Mattison— Here is a conundrum— What is the last hair on a dog ' s tail called? Pres. Warner — Dog hair of course. You are adjourned. 8 4 3untor ' 0 flDeMtatton. To pop, or not to pop, that is the question, Whether it is nobler in the mind to suffer The slings and arrows of my fellow-students, Or to keep my arm about this beauty, And by proposing end them ? to pop, to wed, No more ; and if wed to say we end The heartache and the thousand natural shocks That flesh is heir to, ' tis a consummation Devoutly to be wished. To pop, to wed ; To wed, perhaps, to rue ; av, there ' s the rub. The pangs of despised love, and the spurns That patient merit of the unworthy takes, But that the dreaded something after wed But makes us rather bear those ills we have, Than fly to others that we know not of. Thus popping doth make cowards of us all ; And thus the native hue of resolution Is sicklied o ' er with the pale cast of thought. 85 Colleoe calendar. Sept. 11. School begins.

Vivamus, mea ' Nelia, atque amemus ; Da mi basia mille, deinde centum, Dein mille altera, dein secunda centum, Dein usque altera milla, deinde centum ; Dein, cum millia multa fecerimus, Conturbabimus ilia, ne sciamus, Aut ne quis malus invidere possit, Cum tantum sciat esse basiorum. 92 ' 96 PROPHECY. IT was greatly desired by the friends of ' 96 that its future should be known, so a prophet ot great wisdom was consulted and spoke thus : Now it shall come to pass that in a few years ' 96 will be scattered over the face of the earth, to the north and the south, to the east and the west, yea, even unto far countries. There shall be one David of the tribe of the Jonesites who will be a great ruler in the land for even now seeing the example which our chief ruler sets, he sayeth in his heart, I love Fish(ing) too. I will be a great ruler, even president of these United States. So it will come to pass in A. D. 1920 that the people will call D. W. S. J. Jones to be their ruler. Now John of the tribe of the Pheilites purposeth in his heart to be a great and learned man, even learned in all the law of the land, but it shall not come to pass for John shall be made to change his purpose for when he hath come down to old age he will be numbered among those who earn their bread by the sweat of their brows and he shall split wood, yea much wood, to make many fires. It shall come to pass that Anna of the tribe of the Nokesites shall go into a far country, even to a cold country and being pleased with the name of the country she will adopt it for her own. Now Anna shall do much good among the natives of that country and she will be greatly loved. Now in the year 1940 Grandpa Smith shall be found in the far west dwelling alone. Now he purposeth in his heart to take unto himself a wife but this shall not come to pass and he shall spend his days as a tale that is told. It shall come to pass that Katie of the tribe of the Wardites shall be a nurse and a great healer of the sick and all the people shall rise up and call her blessed because of the wondrous works which she shall perform upon many sick people. Now Frances, daughter of James the Millsite shall after many years wed a man of much learning, even one who heals the sick people. And it shall come to pass that they will prosper and grow exceedingly rich. 93 And likewise it shall come to pass that Grace, of the house of Albright, shall travel unto a far country where she will be a great teacher, and teach many girls in all the learning of her own country. Now Charles, of the tribe of the Monosmithites, shall be a great priest, even a high priest in the temple. He shall be very faithful and he shall prosper greatly. Now Bertha of the tribe of the Sabinites shall grow old in the far west, even on the frontier where there dwell many Indians. She shall make glad the heart of her husband, for Bertha will be a good and faithful wite. Even at the present Edwin, of the house of Cantwell, purposeth in his heart to be a great teacher in the syna- gogue, but from his love of Turn(er)ing he shall change, and it shall come to pass that he will make a great school where will come many youths who will be trained to do many curious things— yea, to perform many athletic feats. After many years it shall come to pass that Jacob, of the tribe of the Stemmites, shall write from a far country and shall say : Lo I have been here many years, and many ills have come upon me, and the wild beasts and wild men seek my body to devour it, until I have said, I will arise and go again unto my own country ; I will take with me many animals and I will start a great circus, even as great as Barnurns circus was, and I will have a side show where I will perform many curious tricks. Yea, it shall be a great show. And thus endeth the prophecy. 94 NAME. AGE. FAVORITE OCCUPATION. ENGAGED. EXPECT TO BE PRESIDENT. FAVORITE SLANG. COLOR OF HAIR. EYES. FUTURE OCCUPATION. WATSON, J. D.

The pronunciation is indicated by the ordinary diacritically marked letters used in the schoolbooks, whose sounds are taught in the public schools. It is easy to trace the growth of a word. The etymologies are complete and scientific, and the different meanings a word has acquired are given in the order of their growth from the root idea. It is easy to learn what a word means. The definitions are clear, explicit, and full; terse, yet comprehensive. Each defi- nition is contained in a separate paragraph. G. C. MERRIADI CO., Publishers, Springfield, Mass., U.S.A.
