Text from Pages 1 - 186 of the 1921 volume:

Surely! Send to us the Grindstone, ,Tis a htting thing yo'u have done. Long may the loved Professor live, And may the book much pleasure give. i Merit, we should appreciate, And pay our homage ere too late. - We wish the booklet soon to greet; To scan its leaves will be a treat. A former Schoolmate 0f the Professor, Anna E. Coates. It was with much pleasure that I learned of your plans to honor Dr. Victor Wilker. No word of mine can possibly express what Dr. VVilker has meant to me ever since the days I sat at the feet of that noble man. You have stated but a small part of the truth when you saia he has beenia, source of inSpir-a- lion to thousands of former Baldwin-Wallace students. His ability to develop the highest ideals of Christian manhooch and womanhood in the thinking of his students, has rarely been equaled, and his own life stood before all as an example of that high ideal of which God and men must take notice. Thank God for Dr. Wilker and may the evening of his life be tinted With golden sunsets. WILLIS S. ROWE, B.

CONSERVATORY OF MUSIC ALBERT RIEMENSCHNELDER x CONCERT ORGANIST ,X . : r Director of the ConservatorijM 4' 52 JOHN SAMUEL CONCERT BARITONE Head of the Voice Department u OSCAR EILER VIOLONCELLO VIRTUOSO Head of the Violoncello Department WALTER GILEWICZ MASTER PIANIST Head of the Piano Department ; k xw DAN PARMELEE CONCERT VIOLINIST Head of the Violin Department Olnnapruatnrg does nearly every educational institution calling itself a college or univer- sity boast of a musical c'lepartment; but it uses that department to adver- tise its school and draw the attention of people to the fact that a certain col- lege is tto indulge in colloquialismsi really Uon the map. In fact, musical activities vie with athletics, in many cases, as an advertising medium. So much is this the case that some colleges are known ehiefiy as schools .of music, and the academic work is supposed to be merely a side issue. N 0t so long ago, the studios of our Musical Department were on the third iioor of the present Administration Building. The quarters were cramped and it seems a wonder that the department survived. Concerts were held in the College Chapel. I remember how queer the piano-the Steinway grand, at that-looked on the upreachers platformy when I first attended one ot the recitals. The ttgreen roomH was then in the basement, and one had to climb the stairs to the auditorium. While I never had the good fortune to wait nervously in the Hroom below until it came my turn to perform, I remember hearing one of the young ladies tell how nervous she got, and how she nearly tripped as she came up the stairs. I suppose, should any of the students before 1913 see this artiele, they will exelaim ttOh, bring back those wonderful daysW . . It was the first fall we were in Berea that the cornerstone of the present building was laid. My first glimpse of HPref. A1,,eI can see him yet-eame as he played on the small reed organ which had been put on the improvised floor where sat the speakers of the afternoon and the Choral Union, in all their glory. Of the sermon, I remember nothing. In fact, I didnt stay to listen to it. ' The next Spring, the choral concert opened the Auditorium. The seats that had been sent did not suit the slant of the floor, and planks were used to ttl'eveW the seats and chairs used. It was a big day for Bereaethe open- ing of the Auditorium. . ' And everybody wondered what the ttbig 1101?, back of the UniOn seats ' on the stage was intended for. Soon we were informed of a contract let for a twenty-five thousand dollar organ. Now, in those days, a dollar was worth one hundred cents, instead of thirtyeiive, and all Berea gasped. When the organ began to arrive,.a11 the ttneighbors dropped in to see What was going 011. IN the modern college, schools of music occupy a unique position. Not only To most of us, it was a great engineering project, a job on which only the especially trained were half-way intelligent. Needless to say, HProf. A1H superintended the work with his usual thoroughness. Finally the manuals arrived and some of the pipeswere connected up. I remember the Wednes- 55 day night when the strings had been connected, and one could make a sound from the manual for the first time. It was Choral Union night, and wProf. A1 showed 0E his organ with the pride of a father displaying his iii'st-born. From that time, things moved rapidly, and soon we went to the HFannie Nast Gamble AuditoriumH instead of to the College Chapel. At this stage of the game, Mr. Riemenschneider taught all the piano pupils, as well as the organ and theory students. His studio in the new building was very different tl' judge from descriptionsi from the studio in the iiAdi, Building. Years of hard work against great odds began to bear fruit, and then the war came on. This year, however, there is a larger ' number of pupils enrolled than ever before and the Conservatory bids fair to take on a new lease of life. In fact the work got so heavy that Mr. Gilewicz was persuaded to leave Cincinnati and teome to Berea. Mr. Gilewicz was born abroad of Polish descent. He completed his piano studies with Godowsky and is recognized as a pianist of first rank. Not only has his ability commanded respect, but hispersonality has won him many friends. You know, Be-rea is a great umelting pot. Many of the professors grew up here. There is an atmosphere of geniality and friendliness which is peculiar to this little Village. People cannot, sometimes, understand the situa- tion. I have seen some of the newer professors astonished and even non- plussed by this insensibility to dignity, but one by one they succumb and be- come a part of the great Berea family. Nobody here thinks of a professor other than as an ordinary man, perhaps ailittle older and more enlightened than most of us, but still making the same human errors that endear us to each other. Far be it from a iiBereanii to regard a mere professor as a god, set an a pedestal to be worshipped. Then, there is Mr. Samuel who has charge of the vocal instruction in the school. In my casual meetings with him, and as I have observed him in his public appearances, he has a fiwinning personalityfi Everybody enjoys his singing. He has a real bass voiceea very rare gifteand a. knack of inter- pretation that makes the audience applaud. ' A very retiring member of the faculty is Mr. Dan Parmelee, the violinist. A graduate of Oberlin Conservatory, Mr. Parmelee has had a varied teaiehing experience and is welleliked as a soloist; He has played several times this year, to the enjoyment of all. Those who have the privilege of studying with him are very warm in praising him. The school has also made arrangements with Mr. Eiler of Cleveland to give lessons to such of our students as may desire: to enroll for Violoncello. Mr. Eiler has been here in the past and evoked, much applause. He is known as one of the best teachers in this sectioniof the country. Such, then, is the Conservatory and its faculty, which provide the musi- cales for the College. Just now, there has been started a scheme which appeals to every one. It has been a custom to offer every year, at a very low rate, a series of three concertsetwo being oratorios given by the Choral Union and 56 the third being given by outside talent. This year, instead of giving'an eratorio for their first concert, the Union gave a few miscellaneous choruses and Miss Lila Robeson was secured as soloist. It was very pleasing to have a i program more within the comprehension of the average mortal and more en- joyable emotionally if not so educative musically. We also secured a better soloist by this means. The second concert was given by the Cleveland Symphony Orchestra with Mr. Gilewicz as soloist. That also was a rare. treat and thoroughly enjoyed. The Choral Union is planning to give gThe Chimes of Normandy for their Commencement concert. I There are also various student and faculty recitals throughout the year, and the Conservatory is growing continually in the esteem 0f the populace 0f Berea and Baldwin-W'allaee College. And so, as we close, let us exelaim, Vive 1a Conservatoire. , t mm OLD WALLACE COLLEGE Alumni Azznriaiinn President . ............ , ..................... Prof. H. T.

And why are they eager? There is to be a sermon by one of their number, or perhaps an address by some special speaker. If the former is the case, there will follow the inevitable remarks of one of the Critics, and these remarks are invariably a source of great instruction and inspiration, not only to the embryo preacher, whose sermonie attempt is being criticised, but to the audience as well. pwhw - ,,.

All of the members are present in the above photograph except Mr. C. P. Hao, a Senior, who has i spent the first semester of his Senior year at the University of Michigan. The-spirit of unity and democracy prevails in our club and we always feel toward each other as brothers in a republic that is a big sister to our own. We Chinese students represent the great Republic of China in Baldwin XVallaee College, and came to this land of dreams for three noble purposes: First, to acquire knowledge and Christian principles; Second, to make friends; Third, to cultivate a. better underetanding between the United States and China, in order that China mav be worthy to be called a sister republic to the greatest government 011 Godh earth. Of course, there is a long way for us to go until our dreams all come true. I V Through the kindness, mutual good-will 21nd helpfulness of every member of the Faculty and friends of the studentst body we have gained much use ful knowledge and have learned a good many new things, not from elass-work alone but from personal contact With others. This kindness shown to us will surely not be in vain as it will help usto interpret to our Chinese people ac- cordingly, the real American spirit which we wish to copy for our beloved China. Undoubtedly these two great sister republics shall ever be friends through the power of Christ and the intercommunieation of. the students. We are the privileged few to drink from the fountain of knowledge of American institutions. Our hearts are full of gratitude for all that Bald- win-Wallace College has done for us and China. Henceforth, in all our un- dertakings we shall endeavor to see clearly and act nobly, that each succeed ing year may be a better one for Balchvin-Wallace, to which we owe so much and Which we love so dearly.

The school lost many athletes at the advent of war, a loss Which was made up in part by some fine athletic material from the Student Army Training Corps, but a loss from which the college has not yet fully recovered. -The football season 0f 18 was a most successful one. But this yearts record is poor indeed. No one needs look far for the cause of the poor showing made by the team. It is a simple case of too little material. Coaching was excellent, the best B-W has ever had; fighting spirit was displayed by the team; but even these items cannot alone make a winning football team. There were flashes of f0rh1.a11d then'the team weakened again. At the request of the student body the College Association withdrew from the Conference. A splendid schedule has been arranged for next year, and unhampered by conference rules our teams should become winning ones, and new life Show evidence in athletics at Baldwin-Wallaee. In basketball? B-W has been far more sueeessfhl. Though the victories did not quite overbalanee the defeats, the men who represented B-W have done credit to the school. .The Season was somewhat unstable in the way that the team showed form. Yet throughout the team showed a fine fighting spirittwhether winning or losing. FOOT-BALL TEAMelQlS 84v BASKET BALL TEAM-IQ 19-20 Phe B-W hve started off ' a 7 ii with victories over Kent ' h t Normal, and Ashland Col- lege before Christmas. These were not Conference games, however. The victory over Oberlin came. as a surprise to the visitors ' and to us as well. It acted as a great stimulus to interest in the games both ' 011 the part of faculty and students. It was amusing and pleasing as well, when the next game was played, to see in the balcony faculty members whom we supposed did not know we had a gymnasium, and xxho certainly did not know a basketball from a peanut. It simply showsthe value of winning teams to the morals of a school. Our old rival, Case, was handed a sound thrashing, too, as was Kenyon in the last thrilling: contest oi the season. To those men who composed our teams this .year we owe much. All of them gave much and received little. Some of them had made their letters wh'EH' Balchvin-Wallaee had winning teams, and when it was an ' honor to represent her'. , They had little hope for victory this year, much less hopes for praise, yet they gave their time and strength and in some cases their past reputation to keep athletics alive. The fate of athletics at Baldwin-Wallaee hangs in the balance, and t0 the fate of athletics is closely allied the progress of the school as a whole. We are out of the Ohio Conference,-110t because we want to be, but because to remain there, always at the bottoms of the list was undesirabTe for several evident reasons. There is 110 one, however, who wants to have us remain outside the Conference. We withdrew with a clean record and with the understanding that we wished to lie-enter whenever we felt capable of main- taining- a percentage 0t at least 500. The date of that reinstatement rests with usewith the faculty, with the student body, with the townspeople. We must have material for winning teams-will we get it? More students mean winning- teams, and K , i i winning teams mean more i and better students. I Our location, our faculty. our equipment, our currie- ulum. excel over those of many schools with twice the size of our student body. tVV'iII. it remain that way? If so, then some one shall have to bear the blame. V Our iiw '7 g ALA v younger Alumni, at least, will no longer give ear to excuses. Together now, everyone, leVs endow athletics and thus put them 'entirely in the hands of people who are interested and letfs send athletes- to Baldwin-Wal- lace. -STAR TACKLE, 1918 -BUSHE'R, STAR FORWARD, i920 Qbratnriml Aaznriatinn 69111er President . ......................................

Were it possible today to blot from American conscious mess the spirit of the men and women who have gone before us,' the great onward sweep of American progress would lose its momentum, and, for a time, would scatter itself in aimless and hopeless confusion. The law of mortality decrees that all must sooner or later pass out of this world, but the immortal spirit lives on in the heartblood of humanity, and constantly rev minds us, that- THE spirit of America today is the composite spirit of the Americans of tiLife is real, life is earnest, And the grave is not its goal; tDust thou art, to dust ireturnesti Was not spoken of the soul! The. great Americans who have preceded: us have clothed our N ational his- tory with such a sacred vestment 0f sple11dor,'that Whenever We pause to pay tribute, we feel that we are standing upon hallowed ground. Otherinations have risen and fallen, but America, under the leadership of those heroes of yester- day, has steadily climbed from glory to glory, until at the present time she stands as a mountain of hope in the midst of a troubled world: ' As we look into the glorious repository of American history, there stand out in emphatic relief the names of certain men and women, before whose memory we must instinctively bow in gratitude to God. Many are they which constitute the long catalogue of honor, but, I must pass over their names with but silent appreciation, until I come to the name of a man to whom I hope to pay partic- ular tribute at this time. i , t .1 I . ' Two and oneehalf years before the outbreak of the Civil War, the city of New York gave birth to one of the most remarkable Americans Whose life has ever blessed the world. His coming into our midst was very unpretentious, for during his earlier days even his mother entertained little hope that her son would live. But in that frail and trembling body there lived the heart of a true American, and in spite of his physical handicaps, he deVeloped into one of the manhest of men, one of the cleanest of politicians, and one of the most loyal of patriots whom the world has ever beheld. Need I mention a name? Ah, to do so were but to confirm your guess! Yes-it is-Theodore Roosevelt! Courageous in defeat, charitable in Victory, and always giving the best that he had to America and the world7 Roosevelt has made an imprint upon' the heart of humanity which time can only magnify. Although delicate and sickly, Roosevelt inhefited the soul of a great man. To be a Roosevelt, was in itself a prophecy of greatness, for the history 89 0f the Roosevelt family as far back as it can be traced, is a ehrone'ogy of high- minded and publie-spirited men and women, who were particularly known for unselfish public services. They had always been noted for wealth, but main. tained that money should help a young man, and not handicap him, and they inade no exception in the case of young Theodore. In his earliest youth he learned the art of hard work, and began that long period of self-development, which changed him from a pale asthmatic stripling into that strenuous man of later years. This required very rigid self-diseipline, and many a bitter sacrifice, but in his breast was a heart which made him strive all the harder because the task was a difficult one. At the time he entered Harvard the re- sults of his self-training were scarcely apparent, but his vision clear-lv pie- tured the man he had determined to become. He entered with all. his en- thusiasm into all college athletics that might possibly help him to attain his ideal. -And then the change came. His ehest began to expand, his muscles to enlarge, and when he left college to go out into the world, he was a fully-de- veloped robust, redbloodedt man. But during this period of physmai recon- struction he never lost sight of his greater purpose. With his life goal in mind. he took advantage of every opportunity for education, and at the time of graduation he was one of the few students to reeeive honors. Throughout his college careeiilie very carefully developed his pubiic and social instincts, and at the time he graduated from Harvard he was a member of seven clubs and societies. When he finally stepped into the affairs of men, he was an image of intense manhood. He had stood the teste-he had conquered his physical weaknesses, and was ready to begin that life which America can never forget. t Rooseveltis interest in politics was aroused at an early age. Scareely had he turned his back upon collegiate days when he was impressed with. the need of better administration, and resolved that his mission lay in the institu- tion of cleaner polities. This thought grew better and bigger in his life. At every opportunity he visited the local pelitieal headquarters, attended all the meetings, and took part. in every discussion, His unusual knowledge of law enabled him to held his ground in many discussions in which his mere mature- eolleagues were at sea. Soon there was a, vacancy in the district assemblv, and the young lawyer was promptly nominated and elected. In the fall of 1881 he was elected to the legislature of the twenty-first district of New York, and to this office he was twice re-eleeted. This twenty-hrst district had long been notorious for political corruption, and Roosevelt immediately launched a fight for clean polities. His attitude created many enemies, but it was his delight to take a stand for a right principle, and hghti for that principle against heavy odds. His services as Police Commissioner of New York were signally demonstrative of his determined devotion to duty. Often did he bravely face danger himself, when he could have deputized a subordinate as had been the popular practice. It was under his administration that the corrupt system of financial and political iniiuenee in employment was abolished. After fifteen years of conspicuous service in politics, Roosevelt was made Governor of New York. During this term he did much in the interests of 9 0 labor, and gave his heartiest support to the abolition of the sweatshop. This done, he turned his tireless attention to the large. corporations of New York. .ln previous times, these wealthy corporations had escaped taxation through some legal technicality, but Governor Roosevelt brought about state legislau tion which enforced the payment of such taxes, taking much of the burden of taxation from the shoulders of the poor. Slight wonder it is that humanity, of whom so many find it necessary to labor, has recognized in him a friend and. brother! , ' In 1900 there occurred an event in Rooseveltis life which for a time threatened his obscurity in the political world. Some of his bitter political enemies, fearing his phenomenal abilities, launched a scheme to secure his nomination to the Vice Presidency of the United States. Roosevelt saw at a glance that this position of relative inaction was intended to break his political ascent and hurl him from public preference, and. immediately he began to protest his nomination. Some of his political friends, however, believing that this would not mean disaster, but opportunity for him, made such a strong appeal that the close of the Republican National Convention found him a candidate for the office he so much dreaded. After his nomination, however, he exhibited a strong sense of loyalty and appreciation, and toured the entire country on behalf of the party he so loved. The result was a sweeping victory for the entire ticket, and with the same wonderful enthusiasm which charac- terized everything he undertook, the new Vice President entered into his duties as the Pre sidentis assistant His services were eat all times sincere and ellieient, and were a mighty factor in the affairs of our nation. But just then came that awful tragedy whieh shook America to her very lleait 3 center, for when President McKinley fell beneath that fatal shot, America had indeed lost a friend. The National chaos was worse than pitiful ; it was intensely critical. But the Great Father of Humanity had not forsaken America in. her hour of need. During those previousiyears he had been con- stantly preparing the man of the hour. Taking hold of affairs as only Roose- velt could, the new President turned chaos into progress, and ere the crepe of mourning had been lifted, he had guided our Ship of Stateli back into the channels of prosperity. His wonderful services as President are familiar to each of you, for his clean and masterful administration has erected in the hearts of Americans a tablet of honor which can never be taken away. Not only was Roosevelt remarkable as a man, and as a politician, but as a patriot he stands out as one of 9111' great American ideals. He was to a marked degree, an advocate of peace, but he was always ready to punish any act of dishonor against this country. His utterances in the matter of Interna- 1iona1 conduct show that he believed in equal; justice for all nations, regard- less of size 01' power, but that in it all the big concern to him was the prosper. ity of America. Can history ever forget to mention-can Americans ever fail to remember, his role in the Spanish-American War, and other Vital crises of our nation? Whenever America needed a man, Roosevelt would volunteer before she called. When the recent war began, he pleaded for permission to organize a regiment and march against the armies of the Central Powers. 91 When, because of his age, he was rejected, his disappointment was pitifully keen, but he continued to do everything that he could for his Country. Great was his happiness and pride, when a little later his four sons entered into the world-conflict under the banner of the United States. True to the patriotic instincts of their father, these boys went into the conflict with only one thought-the honor of America. Two were dangerously wounded, while the third made that supreme sacrifice. When Roosevelt received the news of the death of his son, his great heart received a blow from which it never rev covered, but he found consolation in the thought that his son has lived and diedia credit to America. Often tears of bitterest grief would fill his eyes, but when at such times he remembered the glorious deeds of his son Quentin, a glow of joy would overspread his countenance, and in his heart he would thank God that he had given him so noble a son for the sacrifice. While the world still rejoiced at the close of the terrible war, Roosevelt quietly passed out from among us. His death came as the sleep of a child. It seemed that his noble unselfish life had expended itself for humanity, and without waiting for a word of appreciation had returned again to its Creator. He had' Janished the courseehe had reached the goal, and while through the unbroken procession of centuries. new heroes shall appear upon our National horizon, the great heart of. Roosevelt shall continue to throb in the soul of American consciousness. Let his life be his monument, his deeds his epitaph, and may we preserve among our dearest treasures these Words, which he spoke to a friend shortly before his death: HI thank God that I have lived to see the victory, which places the United States in the forefront of the free peoples of the world; which means Univer- sal Democracy, with its liberty, love, righteousness and peace forever. :9 N: ing 1131112 JHHP--Ib3ui En 1332 $22 ? T was at the corner of ninth and Euclid in Cleveland and during the busy I rush of holiday shopping the last Saturday before Christmas. I was hurrying along being almost swept off my feet by the crowding and jost- ling of those behind me. Each one intent on his own errands was trying to elbow his way down the street at a rapid pace, treading on the toes of those nearest him, bumping into whomsoever happened to be in the way, pushing, doing anything to get out of that surging mass of gift-buyers yet finding no end to the continuous on-sweeping crowd. All at once I felt myself stopped with a jerk as the big man in front and the people around me suddenly came to a halt. We were at the corner. The traffic policeman in the middle of the street had turned his red sign tlStoptt toward us and a broad-shouldered man uniformed in blue was holding back the crowd which a moment before had been plunging on without a thot of stopping. Some ehafed with im- patience at the delay for in five minutes more the stores would be closed but no one attempted to cross. In another moment the tratiie man blew his whistle, gave his sign another quarter of asturn and stopped the traffic in the other direction for an equal numbervof minutes while we went on hurrying, crowd- ing, pushing our way down the street again because the blue signal ttGo was turned, toward us. . What power was in those two short words painted 011 sheets of metal and mounted on a standard which turned at the touch of the policemanls hand; yet in turning it controlled the Olleflotvillg throngs of people and we hicles constantly pouring down the street. ' At every crowded corner in the city stands a traffic policeman, guiding the strect-crossers, preventing numberless accidents. His purpose is not to stop traffic; merely to control it. He flaunts his glaring red Stop in the face of approaching street cars, trucks, people-they stop; he whirls his blue sign toward that same restless eager company-they sweep on again while he checks those coming from the other direction. Every moving body exerts force, a force which if rightly guided and correctly controlled can be made to serve useful ends; but which if allowed to run wild can work untold harm. Every crowd moving down a city street rep- resents force,-just so much vital force which must be rightly controlled if it is not to run away with itself. Recognizing this, wise heads of city govern- ments have provided traffic policemen to stem the tide of the on-rushing public and to allow the cross currents room to pass. . But for all crowds, there are not blue-coated men twirling street signals, nor are all crowds of the same composition as the ordinary stream of city street-walkers all intent on their own business. There are groups of people 93 in this country of ours who are much more closely bound together as units, people who have ideas and ideals in common, people who are traveling the same direction in groups. Who are their traffic managers? There is a vast surging mass of un-Americans in our republic, men and women from other lands whom we have not yet assimilated; there are groups of HReds, Bolshe- vists, an army of socialistic enthusiasts, a mighty host of laborers arrayed against an equally powerful line of capitalists. Who shall guide their steps? Who are their traffic. policemen bidding them when to stop and when to go ahead? It is not, however with any of these that we are now particularly con- cerned but with a group of far more importance, the young men and women of our nation ;-and of that great multitude of youthful citizens and those soon to be citizens, in whom are we more interested than in the group to which we ourselves belong-students of the colleges and universities? Very often have we been told that the hope of a nation lies in its youth especially in a democratic country where those same young people will be in control of the nation itself in a few years and in a country like this where the very structure of the government depends in large measure upon the intelli genee of its citizens, to who shall the nation look for leaders if not to the men and women yearly coming forth from its universities and colleges? But are these people in the higher institutions of. learning measuring up to what is justly expected of them? With a few exceptions,-N0! As a whole group they are falling short and unless some radical change occurs they will forfeit their title to leadership. ' During the last two 01' three decades a great wave of prosperity has been sweeping over our nation carrying all before it. Money and the things money can buy have become exceedingly plentiful until America is the richest na- tion on the earth. With all this financial success came busy-ness, such a busy- ness that no one had time for any activity except the piling up of dollars; and with the getting 0f the dollars has come the unquestionable thirst for pleasure, the whole nation going wild in a. mad rush to find Some entirely new ways of spending its enormous wealth. This attitude of gross materialism took possession of the colleges, the professions, capital, labor,-every walk of life. i And then came the wareour entrance into the struggle. Like a thunder- bolt fell the realization that we must send our loved ones to fight side by side :in the trenches with the British Tommies and the French Poilus, that we must buy liberty bonds and thrift stamps and give till it hurt. we did it,-n0bly. and in the doing won for our nation the love and respect of the peoples for Whom we were helping to make the world safe for democracy, as we glibly said. But What a change when all was over. All but 50,000 of our min two million boys came back to us, our money was more safe'invested in liberty bonds than in any bank, America was looked up to and respected thruout , the nations of the earth. Why worry? Straightway we forgot the noble ideals of. world democracy which we had voiced thru the lips of our president, 94: we forgot the reasons we gave for entering the conflict. we forgot these sentiments Which had inspired us to gladly send our men to fight for the liberty of the worldeAnd when America came to the testing point whether she was to stand for world service 01' world selhshuess, she failed because of her procrastination in deciding what to do regarding a. league of nations, not necessarily the proposed league, but some league. America whose. stars anrl stripes had acted as a big brother to the allied flags, who had unflinchingly and wholeheartedly sent her men to die in the same mud as did the Tommies and Poilus failed to follow up the principles of world freedom for Which she had unhesitatingly fought; and that same America has slipped back into her rut 0f i'noney-grabbing and pleasure-following, forgetting that the eyes of the earth are upon her every move. . Especially of the youth of the nation is this true. The boys have been across the sea fighting, doing mews jobs, and now that it is all ever have come home restless, eager to forget the horrors, wishing to hurl all respon: sibil'it'y to the Winds and enjoy themselves to the utmost. Their spirit of rest- lessness and dissatisfactimi has spread everywhere among groups of young people and is felt very largely in the colleges. Nothing is just right; every- one sees something; to criticize and uses his tongue freely. No gathering is considered worth while at which those coming are not banqueted or refreshed or offered some other special inducement to gain their presence. They continually want to be amused, to have a good time, to do something new in the way of entertaining. Any speaker to be popular must season h s address with. the salt of many jokes and must never talk more than hfteen minutes. Any activity requiring concentrated solid1 effort over a long period of time is considered too much trouble. This unfortunate condition does not exist in one college alone ; it. is prev:- alent on every campus throughout our country. The students seem to think, most of themettVVe are young but once, so letls make the most of itiieand they proceed to do so, continually emphasizing the social side of college life almost to the exclusion of the more important phases. There are not nights enough in the week to accommodate their desires. They pursue their way wholly carefree, utterly unaware that they are not meeting their responsibili- ties like men and women. i If some powerful force does not arrest the mad rush of this great moving body of students, that class who of all others has the most opportunities for knowledge of the things which ought to be done, what will happen? If this onward-siveeping crowd is to continue heedlessly and aimlessly along in its present course and at the same ever-quickening pace, what is to become of it? Into what abyss will it finally plunge itself headlong to its own destruction? Truly did Sherwood Eddy characterize the stu'lents of this age when he called them ttthe ragtime-jazz,, generation, ever with the latest popular music on their lips and the newest dance steps hurrying their feet along still faster. What is to call a halti2 What is to act as the traffic policeman on the life-road of this gene 'ation? What is to boldly thrust a red ttStopii sign in the face of the on-rushing crowd and hid it- stand still? 95 A great commanding vision of the world, the world looking to America, the world disavowing the leadership of America because of her unworthiness- that and that alone will act as a check on the aimless plunging of our youth today. That alone will be the manager of traffic able to control the surging mass of individuals hurrying down the street. To take a long steady look at the nations of the earth, exhausted, over- burdened, still suffering, to see those nations plastic and humbled and ex- pectant looking vainly to America, for help in solving their problems, to America Who so loudly proclaimed her ideals of world democracy and as bravely fought for them-ewill hot that stop American youth in their rush for seIf-seeking pleasure and turn them from the channels of world selfishness to the channels of world service? ' We are living today in the shadow of eleven millions of: graves, graves of the young men of all nations of the world. Does that mean anything to us who have sacrificed scarcely 50,000 of those eleven millions and still think our loss overwhelming? Those graves belong to men of Britain, of France, of the Central Powers, India, China. Do we dare. break faith with those who die, do we . dare let America become the most hated, the most despised nation on the i earth because she does not practice as she preaches? Dare we let America i fail? Will we let America fail? We dare not. We will not. I believe the sight of the world looking to our nation as the self-appointed yet selfless leader in world problems will be the policemank NStop,' signal bidding the American youth come to ,a halt 'in their wild rush; and ere they start on again, I believe their course will be changed, changed so that they will make America continue to be revered and loved both at home and abroad. 96 makakpga HE sun was casting its last golden rays over a little Indian village in T Southern Kansas. Far down the trail that led to the village walked a. boy and a girl. The boy was tall and lithe. His straight black hair, high cheek bones, blaek eyes, and copper colored skin portrayed his blood. He wore a faded blue and gray checkered waist. His neck was bare and his sleeves were rolled up. His worn trousers and heavy boots appeared to have seen much service. The slender girl by his side was about his height. She had dark broWn hair falling in heavy braids over her shoulders. Her soft brown skin was the gift of the sun that had planted a rose upon each cheek. Her black eyes, high cheek bones, and natural grace were the heritage of the race which had welcomed her white forefathers t0 the shores of America. She was dressed in the garb of an. Indian princess. i Instead of coming directly to the village, they turned and followed the trail that led down to the river. The little stream zigzagged its way into the woods. As it entered the weeds it leaped over high boulders forming a miniature water falls. Beside the falls were two large rocks. The girl sat down on one of the rocks and the boy, he was hardly more than a boy, picked up a stone and threw it far out into the river. He picked up another and did the same. He did this a half a dozen times before either of them spoke. At last he turned to her and said, iiYou would leave all of this to go among their mockery and sham? This is not the place for you, Wakakeya. You are a ' part of these woods, the fiowers, the birds, the streams, the clouds. You must not leave themliy HI must go back to my fathers people. When my father died my mother promised him that she would send hie east to his people, that I might learn their ways, know their hearts and if possible become one of them. Mother did not live to fulfill that promise but your father promised her that I should go back. You know that I must go, Tatoka. Tatoka, the Indian boy, was the son of 'the chief of his tribe. At his- fatherls death he would take his place. He had spent four years of his life at- an eastern university. He had learned to appreciate the culture of the White man, but it could never make him relinquish his love for the ways of his na- tive people. Practically all of his life had been spent in the open, Many of his nights and days had been spent under the great pines that overshadowed the river. At an early age he became a friend of the birds and beasts, the flowers, the trees, and the river. His very tinderstanding of all the Wild things he grew up with, seemed to bring his heart into greater 'understanding With 97.. the heart of his people. His experiences at school only broadened that under- standing and he came back well prepared to become a wise, just, and merciful leader of his tribe. With Wakakeya it would be different. The white man7s blood in her would respond quickly to the white manis influence. Once she learned their ways she would scorn to return to the conditions of her ehildhmul. Tatoka had found much in the white man,s life to be artificial. Once the fly is caught in the spiderts web it is almost impossible to escape. So it is with those who come into the influence of the white manls culture. It weaves a magic spell about them which it is almost impossible to break. Tatoka hated to see this maiden become a Victim of the spider's web. He had had the strength to escape. He had come back to his life close to nature, and he had brought many good things with him. He would teach his people better ways in which to live. They would profit by his experience. But he . felt that she would not come back. Why was he so sure that she would remain among her fatherts people? This boy and girl had been brought up together from childhood. VVakakeya was the adopted daughter of Tatoszs father. She had been given all the privileges of an Indian chiefls daughter and many more. She had been Tatoka7s constant companion and friend. This friendship had ripened into something far deeper on the boyis part. Now that she was going to leave he realized that he loved her. Yet could he tell her? No. He must tell her to go back. She must fulfill the promise to her dead father. After what seemed a long time he answered her. NYou must go, Wakakeya. But here you excel in all things. Here you are my fatherls adopted daughter. You are the princess of my people. Here there is no maiden who can ride as you do, bring down the elk as you do, play our games as you do, sing our songs, care for our sick, or, and his voice grew very tender, H0r be' the companion that you have been to me, Wakakeya. Among your fatheris people it will not be thus. You are going to them a stranger to their ways, their thoughts, their very life. You will not be the one who will always surpass, there you must be content to be one of the' massfl Wakakeya stood up, raised herself to her full height, and her eyes proudly met his. itIf among my motheris people I have the power to. excel, I have among my fatherls people. I will go to them, Tatoka. If within my four years at school I do not excel I Will returnf , A few weeks later found Wakakeya sitting on her bed in one of the mosr noted girls, schools on the Hudson River. In the chair opposite her sat a slender girl of medium height She was crowned with luxuriant mass of light curly hair. Her face would have been called plain. but her dark blue eyes that seemed to light up her whole countenance. She looked like a freshly blossomed rose in her pale green kimono. The girls looked at each other for a few moments. Clara Livingstone, the fair haired girl, was the hrst to speak. 9 8 UAre you not homesick so far away from your people, WakakeyaiV' VVakakeya smiled, HI am not far from my people; Clara. I am among my fatherts people, and I like themf, Clara looked at her room-mate in wonder. She had regarded her room- mate as a prophet of the West. She thought of the red men as her people. W'akakcyats ways were so different from hers. Wakakeya saw the look and! understood. And so she told Clara the story of her life. i HMy father, John Armstrong, was from one of the most aristocratic families of Virginia. When a young man he went to Kansas to take charge of an Indian reservation. There he fell in love with my mother Wahwahtay- see the beautiful daughter of the Indian chief.- He married her. I was the only child. My parents called me Wakakeya, which means to excel, for they said, HShe has the best blood of two races in her veins, and thus endowed ought to surpass all her peopleW My father loved my mother dearly. He became the teacher as well as her husband, and she was a very willing and intelligent pupil. He taught her the ways and language .of his people. She became his companion and helper in all that he did. But when I was iive years old my father died and when he was dying, my mother promised him that she would send me East to his people when I became eighteen years of age. Mother taught me a little of what he had taught her, but she did not live to complete her task, for she followed him a year later. When she died her brother, the present chief of our tribe, took upon himself the promise given to my dead father. And that is why I am here. And theneWakakeyaYs eyes wandered t0 the Window to the restless waters of the Hudson River. For a moment her vision was blurred, but the strength of her mothers race forced back the tears, and Clarats voice broke the silence. i tttI-Iow different your past has been 'from mine. My father died when I was three years old. He left my mother with four children. I was the youngest child. Mother went out to work for her funds were very low. She gave us children a high school education. At an early age I showed special talent for music. It has been the one desire of my mothers life that I have an opportunity to develop my talent. She has' worked and saved. My brother and sisters have worked and saved. And I have worked! and saved to Supply the necessary funds for me to come to this school. I am going to do my very best and perhaps,-I may win the scholarship that will enable me to study in Europe. These frank confessions of the two girls on their first day at school brought them very close together. From the first the girls had liked each other, their liking deepened into friendship, and their friendship deepened into love. Curiously enough the girls never afterwards mentioned the sub- ject which they had discussed on that first day. Each girl did her best, and the fact that there could beyibut one valedictorian, did not once influence the best efforts given by each girl. 99 Four years passed and the day was drawing near when the class of nine- teen hundred and ten would part forever. And the day was drawing near when l the valedictorianls name would be announced. Every one was certain that it would be either Clara 01' Wakakeya. The evening before the final essay con- test closed Wakakeya heard her name mentioned as she passed by her pre- eeptresst door. Involuntarily she overheard the conversation. Miss La- Marsh the FTeneh teacher and the preceptress were discussing the valedie- torianship. Miss La Marsh was speaking. ttYes, it is between Clara and Wakakeya. Their grades average the same. It now depends upon the respective merits of the essay each has writ- ten. ' I'Vakakeya fled to her room. Clara was sitting at her writing table put- ting the finishing touches on her essay. She looked much older than she had four years before. Wakakeya thought she looked very tired and worn. Wakakeya too looked older. In four years she had developed into a very beautiful woman. As far as beauty and social success were concerned she had fuldlled her parentst predictions. Tomorrow would determine whether she would excel in gher studies. But as she looked at Clara she Wondered what Clara would do if she did not wimaif she did not get her trip to Europe. The night before she had heard her cry out in her sleep: ttYes, mother dear, I will win, 011! I will win? Yet would she after what she had heard this evening? There was a doubt in VVakakeyats mind. For although the girls had usually received about the same grades in their English work, Wakakeya had always received much praise for her freshness of thought and Vividness of expression. Clara stayed up far into the night changing a word here and rewriting a sentence there in her almost perfect essay. When she finally folded her completed paper the grey mist of dawn warned her of the approaching day. VVakakeya had gone directly to bed but she had not slept. HWhat should she doiW She realized now that there was a chance of her becoming valedie- torian. If her essay was the better she would stay among her fatherls people. And she had learned to love that people. Yet if she won, Clara would lose... Could she take success for here friendts failure? N0. She must go back to the Indian village. The first gleam of dawn threw its rosy light across her writing table as if pointing the way to her. She got up; put on her moccasin slippers; threw an Indian shawl over her shoulders and sat down at her writing table. She sat for a few moments looking out at the sunrise across the river, and then deliberately picked up a pen. She took out many words that added vividness and life to her essay. In one or two places she changed the spelling of cor- reetlylspelled words. She then folded her manuscript and put it back. And looking out at the rising sun said, HGood-by thou beautiful land of my fatherls. I have been very happy here. You have made life very beautiful to me, and my life will be richer fer , what you have taught me. Now I will go back and teach them. Goodeby. 100 A month later Clara Livingstone having won hrst honors, found herself in Paris studying under one of the Worlds famous teachers. The same day in the little Indian village in Kansas 21 young man sat fishing and dreaming by the water falls near the woods. The sun was at its brightest, and it threw its rays generously onto the sparkling water. Soft shadows played with the sun beams among the trees. On the bough above the man sat a robin singing his cheerful song. He seemed to sing: ttCheer up! Cheer up! the best is yet to come. Surely the birds must be prophets, for to Tatoka7s ears its song was fol- lowed by sweeter music. At the first sound he sprang to his feet. HTatokzt! Tatoka! I have come back to my mother7s people. I have come back to my peopleW . He turned and gazed 011 a beautiful woman dressed in the costume 0f the native Indian women. Then he held out his arms and whispered: Welcome home. WakakeyaW t GRACE COCHRAN, ,23. 101 102 Theiagiz 7325:1112 Lucinda Mandalina Brown sat before her palatial log cabin engaged in what was her daily occupation. Before her on the grass rocked a. rickety little cradle. It ,did not rock with that slow gentle soothing motion as every cradle should but it joggled back and forth creaking and ysqueaiking'.

Among the inegroes was a very old man whose hair was turning gray; his shoulders were stooped with the carrying of heavy burdens. His hands were wrinkled and knotted, his face showed his weariness but it was lighted up by the eyes which were kindly. He talked cheerfully to the other negroes as they trudged homeward. This was Betsyis Uncle Samus, the friend of everybody on the plantation ,1 a man beloved and respected by all folkseboth 01d and young. A big yellow pup with long flopping ears and wagging tail trotted beside him. This was Napoleon. As Uncle Samus and Napoleon neared the little cabin, Betsy ap- peared in the doorway enveloped in a huge calico apron. She rushed out to meet them, hugging and kissing the old man. This was their evening greet- ing. ' ' itCome on in Uncle Samus, ant git yo suppa. De'eofteis so hot its almost blowin 7de.1id 0E de coffee pot. An, howdy do, Napoleon, old dog? Yes, ah see yo!

Betsy, hastily setting down the coffee pot, ran out to see who was there. Up the lane came a tall lanky man in a black suit. He wore a large brimnied hat-spats-and fancy vest. He carried a bulky carpet bag in his hand. As he neared the cabin Napoleon barked more loudly than ever- jumping madly at the carpet bag. It certainly was not a ease of love at first sight with Napoleon. Far be it from such. The stranger seemed greatly an- noyed, for his sharp eyes took on a Vicious expression and his black whiskers quivered with rage. Muttering something under'his breath about dogs he gave Napoleon a Vicious kick. ' . Just then Betsy rushed out and in a high. pitched voice called off Napoleon. The stranger inquired if Uncle Samus were home. Betsy invited the stranger inside. She pulled out the best chair for the visitor and invited him to eat. Everybody was made welcome in the South, even in the poorest cabins, where hospitality was bften warmest. Next day excitement ran high among the colored folks. Mr. Whitehill, owner of the plantation, had come down to the little cabins in a serious mood. He inquired of his slaves, if a tall dark man had been seen the evening be- fore. This Mr. Morris had claimed heid been sent to transact some business which would reap the negroes great benefit. Great were the stories he told. Fortune would come to them over .night. They would never need to work again. But alas! He was a fraud! The money was lostethe man gone- hotliing could be done. Uncle Samus took it hard: His savings of a life time were gone forever.

Long years ago when Cleveland was not a large modern city as it is to- day but merely an overgrown country town of less than a thousand people, Rerea presented an almost unheard-Of possibility for the development of a future Village. It-was in these days when the Western Reserve was in the early stages of its growth that there came from Bradford, Connecticut, 21 young man by the name of John Baldwin. Having had meager opportunities for education himself he had for his great compelling life purpose the establish- ment 10f an institution of learning where ambitious young men and women 1 could obtain the training he had been obliged to acquire alone and thru great hardship. Sixteen years after he came to Ohio, Mr. Baldwin at a session of the N orth Ohio Conference of the Methodist Episcopal Church gave to the confer- ence a campus of flve acres with one building, thirty village lots, and fifty acres of land having valuable stone quarries. This was in 1845 and the next year in April, Baldwin Institute with both a Hmale and female department was opened. Originally there were but two buildings on the campus,eNorth and South Halls, both of which were three story brick structures. North Hall contained the chapel, mews dormitory and recitation rooms; in South Hall was the ladiest dormitory and the dilrling room. Stories of life in the college during those early days seem very .quaint and interesting to the present day students. The rules were exceedingly strict and rigorously enforced. No smoking, swearing, 01' eard-playing was at all allowed; at chapel each Monday morning; report was given of the number of church services attended the previous day; men' and women were not allowed to con verse in the halls or to meet each other ex cept by special permission; all lights and fires had to be extinguished by 10 otelock. Many students lived in the dormitories but boarded themselves to save expense. It was in the midst of this kind of college 112 life that the first literary society was started. Very soon after Baldwin Institute was well established in its educational duties the stu- dents formed a group, meeting weekly to improve their literary expression and appre- ciation. This was in 1849. Both men and women belonged to this society land it was known as the General Library Lyceum of Baldwin i Institute. For a few years this organization fiour- ished but in 1852 for some unaccount- able reason the ladies dropped out and only the young men participated in the literary aeti'Vities of the school, Whether or not the ladies tired of the young menis company we do not know: However that may be the society from. tl'leuceforth was for men only and bore the name Philolothian. Three years later, 1855, the ladies again decided to become interested in literary matters and organized a society of their own, calling themselves Aletheans after the Greek goddess of truth. This organization has been per- petuated and still exists in the present Alpha Kappa Society. In 1855 also the Philolothian Menis Society re-ehristened itself and its members became known as Philozetians. Many more men than women attended the school which by that time had changed itself from Baldwin Institute into Baldwin University. The Philoze- tian Society became so large as to be unwieldy and it was. thought best to form another society for men. This took place in 1857 when the Phreno-Cosmian Society sprang into existence directly from the Philozetian. To decide who of the members should go into the new society and which remain in 'the old, slips of paper were placed in a -hat and each man drew. If his. slip was a blank he automatically became a, member of the new Phreno-Cesmian Society, but if his slip bore the name Philozetian he remained a member of that group. These three societies, Philozetian and Phreno-Cosmian for men and the Alethean for women continued to live side by side in close associations until 1862 when another, the Athenian Society for women, came to join their group. Because of some disagreement between certain of the Aletheans, some of their: members decided to form an entirely new society and proceeded to do so7 naming it the Athenian Society. This name continued for five years but there was considerable confusion of the name to Clionian. This society in conjunc- tion with the Alethean is still in existence in thevAlpha Kappa Sigma. The present Alpha Kappa. Society is an outgrowth of the union of these two ladies societies of old Baldwin. Formed in 1855 the purpose of the Alethean society was the itmental and 113 moral improvement and the aequirement of an easy style of writing and speaking and to sustain a monthly paperW The meetings were held weekly at which time literary programs were rendered by the members. The byelaws were rules strictly adhered to. Fines wereimposed upon very slight pretext. Any person absent one evening without reasonable excuse was fined twenty euits; any person who left the room before society program was completed, except by permission from the president, was fined twenty-tive cents; any person who caused disturbance during prayer either by laughter or whisper- ing or in any other manner was fined ten cents and 011 second offense was liable to expulsion from the society. During the Civil War most of the boys then in school enlisted and the Alethean girls presented each one of the Volunteers with a Bible at a special farewell meeting for them. The first soldier whose body was brought back to Berea for burial was George Huckins, a Phreno-Cosmian, and each Memorial Day from then until now his graVe has been dteeoratedvby some of the Alethean sisters. . I ' ' One very interesting feature of the literary work in those days was the compilation of the monthly ttCasketQ, a paper to which members of the so- eiety contributed. Each lady who did not appear on the program of a cer- tain meeting had to hand in a contribution to the itCaSkett, for its next ap- pearance. The history of the Clionian Society during the years has been similar in a. general way to that of the Aletheans.' In the beginning, before electricity for lighting was heard of, one member Used to hold a candle while the per- former read or reeited-her selection. At times the rivalry between the two societies was extremely keen. Very often the Philos and Clios were pitted against the opposing brother and Sister soeietiea, the Phrenos and Aletheans. Discussions and debate seem to have been very popular on the literary programs in the olden days, as now. The ladies spent many valuable hours of thought upon such weighty problems as these: HDoes a gentleman require more education than a ladyti HResolved that a smoking man is worse than a smoking chimney. i i HIs the life of celibacy preferable to the married stateWt etc. But not all the discussions were so lightsome. Especially dur- ing the Civil War days po litical questions arose:- - Were the lad'es of ,76 more patriotic than those of ,61 and i62'.W iiResolved that the pay of the private saldiers should be increased anti that of officers dimin- ishec. tiIs General Me- Clellan worthy of the non- 114 iidence 0f the American peopledW Doubtless they settled these questions to their own satisfaction. ' V 111 1915 the two menis societies, Philozetian and Phreno-Cosmian, merged into one, the Phi Kappa Phi; and in 1919 the Aletheans and Clionians also united, forming the present Alpha Kappa Society. At the time of the union the Greek symbols for the initial letters of the two society names were chosen as the name of the united group. The colors were likewise a combination, the blue of the Clinnians with. the gold of the. Aletheans. t During the last few years, as formerly, the society has showu the high quality of its work. For three years now the society has carried 0? the first honors from the Ladiest Inter-Soeiety Contest, and two years ago the college orator was mm of its members. Thru all the years of their existence as separate units the Aletheans and Clionians have sent out women proud and worthy when the names of their societies and the present Alpha Kappa; are trying to cherish the traditions and ideals of the members of long ago. May this frielildly spirit. of striving long continue. 115 HHm WHEELER HALL 05350 Founded 1859 MOTTO: Doct71inam ad 'us-wm. FACULTY MEMBERS Fredrick Cramer, A, M., D. D. Capt. C. H. Hall E.

Jacob Rothweiler, a German Department was opened in Baldwin University in August, 1858, with one instructor, Mr. O. Henning, and twelve German Students. An endowment fund of $10,000 for the department had been contributed by the GemnamMethodists. The students resided With their instructor in Baldwin Hall, Which had been donated to the Germans by Mr. J Ohn Baldwin, Sr. At the close of the year, Prof. Henning resigned and Rev. J acob Rothweiler succeeded him. At the beghming 0f the following school year, in August, 1859, the Ger- man Verein was feunded. It began with seven members, and Prof. Roth- Weiler acted as critic. The main object of the society, as stated by the con- stitution, was to give its members the opportunity to perfect themselves in the art of public Speaking. Both languageseEnglish and German-were a1- . lowed, although the use of the German predmninated at that early date. The meetings were held weekly in the chapel of Baldwin Hall. 011 Oct. 27th. 1859, the following program was arranged for the first literary meeting, to be held a week laterzeOne essay, two declamations, four men on debate. Thus each member had a part on the programe The subject selected for discussion was: HResolved that the modern world is more Wicked than the an- cientft At the next meeting the question was debated Whether the escape of a slave from his master could be justified. This subject does not surprise us when we bear in mind that those were pre-war days, when slavery existed in the Southern States. Three other ques. tions that were discussed the follow- ing weeks were: HT0 Whom is greater honor due, to Columbus 01' to Washington? , Who has been wronged most by our government, the Negro orthe Indiant , NIs collegiate co-edueation a hindrance to high intellectual attainments? During the early years7 while the membership of the society was small, every member participated in the literary program at every meet- ing. 120 In 1864 German Wallace College was founded and took the place of the German Department. Three years later in 1867, the number of students had increased to such: an, extent that it was considered necessary to found a second society, and the Schiller Verein was called into existence. The pro- fessors encouraged the members of both of the societies to perfect themselves in the use of English as well as German. From the beginning, professors served as critics of the literary work. This is also true of the other soeieties. For some time the same professor acted continuously as critic in the same society. Dr. Rieman- schneider oHiciated for many years as critic of the Germania Verein. Later it was de- cided that the critics rotate annually, thus giving the societies the opportunity of coming in closer contact with all of the professors in turn. 111 1870 the Bettina Societyefor ladieSelater the Philomathean Society, was organized, and in 1883 the Goethe Verein was founded. In those early days it was customary for each society to give a public exhibition once each year, sometimes at commencement time. Oratory of a high grade was often displayed on ? those occasions. The meetings were held in the 01d Hulet Hall and Were attended largely by the townts people, the speaking being both in English and German. Besides the annual exhibition, .the society cele- brated its Jahresfest, to which-the members invited their friends. The meeting was held in their Hall. The Literary Exercises were 1501- - V t lowed by sociability, and in the later years by refreshments. For many years the, exercises consisted , almost exclusively of essays, dec- lamations, . Later, :the newspaper, booka'eviews, extemporary speaking, and other exercises were added. orations, and debates. -VICTOR WILKER. Failing health and finally a severe fall about two years ago made it necessary for Dr. VVilker to drop out of the active life of the society and of school, greatly to the loss of these organizations. While he was not a charter member of the society, still he joined in the early days. As an addition to his historical sketch it should be said that in 1909 the Germania Verein cele- brated its fiftieth anniversary in a fltting manner. NNhen the two colleges united to form Baldwin-VVaIlace the German lan- guage was entirely dropped from the program and the minutes of the Germania Society. Conditions growing out of the recent war brought about a change of name for the Society. The original name involved suggestions and im- plications distasteful t0 toyal, 1' ed-blooded Americans. The service record of the members of the Society and more especially the two gold stars, for Charles Keil and William Jams, are proof that all imputations were falfse. But to avoid misunderstanc'ling on the part of persons reading the name, it was deemed best in January, 1918, to change it to the Gordian Society. M xi? 0 O. u. 2:0? $ 9 Viggi' 3W. $2? .

Leo Schwing, 22 mNH itlm-nrg nf 1112 $igma IHhi tgvrhillprt Eitprarg gmmtg P to the year 1868, only one society existed for gentlemen in this school. In the spring of 1868, however, it was thought expedient to found a new society; the Germania society having become too large. For this purpose the follewing men came together to fetind a new society: Oldenhage, , Steinhage, Schneider, Nagler, Bockstahler, Horst, Bibighauser, I-Iiller, and J'rraessle. These gentlemen united themselves, as they expressed it; HTn cultivate themselves, both socially and morally, by literary contributions, and to develop the talents bestowed upon them by a benevolent power? After much debating over a name appropriate for the new society, it was decided to name it after the great German poet, Fredrieh v011 Schiller. The society was open to any student of G. W. C. or B. U. who presented a good moral character. The constitution was written both in German and English, and works were brought in either of these languages. The Schiller society assembled from its beginning in the 01d brick build ing which stood where the present Memorial Hall now stands. But their hall was by 110 means so inviting and pleasant as it has since become, It was in an abode fitter for bats and owls than for a literary society. The walls were bare, the floor in a delapidated condition, the ceiling so cleiieient that, ,to use the words of an old Schiller Brother, ttWe would crowd around the stove with. our umbrellas open to prevent the rain drenching us. Such was the condition of our Brothers. It was Often said of the Sehillers that they 126 were wild and ungodly. The ministers of the differ- ent Conferences, especially, were active in scattering such reports, rand persuad- ing young men coming here not to join the Schiller So- ciety. The fact that our members were not strictly theologians, but gave more attention to the natural sciences and to mathematics was styled ttUngodlyW But. that the Schillers were not so wicked as gen- erally represented by the ministers appears frem the fact that all but two of the Foundere 0f the Schiller Society became ministers in the Methodist Con- ferences; one of the renmining two tMr. Steinhagm became a minister in the Lutheran Church, and the other tDr. J . Schneidem became a noted physi- cian of Cleveland. During the period 1868 to 1875 little is known of the activities of the Society except that tremendous difficulties were placed in its way by members of the Faculty and others. At the end of this period it was thought best to have the Society incorporated under the laws of the State of Ohio. Accord. ingly the Society was incorporated as a Legal body in 1875. This enabled the society to seek redress; by law, in case of emergency. The Schiller Society and the Mother Society were not always on the best of terms. It would be nonsense to recall now the causes of these dif- ferences, which were often carried to the extreme by both parties, The two socie - ties, however, often entertained each other in former years, and during the past few- years have been most friendly in their relatione with each otherf With the Alethean and Clionian Societies of Baldwin University the Schillers have. from the first been very friendly. Our records bear testimony of the good will each had for the other, and some of the happiest hours of the Schiller Brots were spent in the company of these Societies. In the year 1875 there arose a heated controversy between the members of the Society and the Faculty over the placing of curtains 0n the Society Room stage, and over the presentation of dramas at 127 the Societyts literary pro- grams. It was regarded as unehristianlike to present. dramas, and the Soeietv was often referred to as HThe Theatre? So bitte'c became the controversy that to openly acknowledge mem- bership was to invite dis. grace. During this period the friendship of the Clio- nian and Alethean Societies was stronger than ever before, and our records are free in their acknowledgement of its value in these the most trying years of the Soeieties7 history. I On September 16, 1896, the Societies drew lots for the rooms in the present Memorial Bldg. A committee, W. Jendy D. ,Beck, W. Marting, A. Kloksiem, and A. Underlick, had charge of the preparation of the room. At this time the justly famous Schiller quartette earned hundreds of dollars, Which Were used in decorating the room. The quartette consisted of J end Beck, tKloksiem, and Haas. At one of the combined Orchestra and Quartette concerts $225 were realized. This period, until the year 19C8, was the most prosperous of the Societfs history. During that time the membership of the Society varied from about twenty to thirty-eig-ht members, and the Society Was held in high esteem, by all connected With the institution, for its splendid literary and social activities. From 1908 to'1911 the membership decreased until in the autumn of 19101there were only five members to take up the work ef the Society. From that time until this the Society has remained prosper- ous. Recent years contain a long list of members who were recognized llead- ers in the school. Who does not remember such men as Wood, Wesley, Speckmann, Bowser, Koehnemann, Ficken, Pflefer, Tubbesin'g, Gensemer. any many others? On May 6, 1917, one month after war was declared, nine of our men left school and departed for overseas service where they remained until early in the summer of 19. Many other members of the Society left soon afterward and served our country well during the period of the warneVVe pause here to pay tribute to our Brother Lewis C. Wood, scholar, philosopher, friend. Man of more noble soul was never student here, and we are proud to say of him: ttHe was a Schillerf, Wood lies buried in Belgium. where he fell under the fierce fire of the German Archies. His memory w '11 linger forever with us who knew and loved him. The war period dealt harshly with the school, as with all Colleges, and it was to be taken as a matter of course that the Society, too, would suffer. But not so. Last autumn found the Society filled with strong capable men. Early in the present year the name of Sigma Phi was adopted. Schiller traditions still live in the spirit of the Society, and it has been an exceedingly prosper- OUS year. 129 Hm: MITORY MENE DOR Fouhded 184:9 Colors: Purple and Gold MOTTO: F'uim'a cmae qzavbis FACULTY MEMBERS - Edward L.

The origin of these societies dates back to the early days of Baldwin University. The Philozetian Society had its inception in the Literary Lyceum of Baldwin Institute. It was the first organizatiOH of its kind in Berea, and was established on Feb. 2, 1849. This pioneer literary endeavor of Bald- win Institute was the be- ginning of a larger and - more perfect organiza- tion. In its forums were dis- cussed the questions 01 that day which was a Mcritieal Deriod in the na- tionts history. , Slavery and Disunion w e1e topics of the hour. In 1852 the college changed its name to 1311111 IlelliVCISity and afte1 Sept. 10, 1852, this society was known as the Philolothian Liteia1y Society but the name was shortly thereafter changed to the Philozetian Literary Society; which name has been retained to the present day. i 'The home of this society has been changed many times. When first 01's it ganized in those distant days of Bereais early ihistory, the meetings were held in private homes. Old North Hall, which stood 011 the site of 0111' present quarry hole was the next abode of our society brothers. At a somewhat later 1 date meetings were held in the Laboratory Building and in 1882 the Philoze- i tian headquarters were moved to Old South Hall, also a relic of the 01d campus on the South Side This transfel to South Hall was a gala day fox the Philos and altho the building was not new yet Philo spirit was burning 1 Inightly with the thoughts of newly decorated halls. At this occasion Pro- 1 fessm Mattison gave the dedicatmy address Which I fiecte;1 great credit flnpon I Philozetian endeavor and honor '7 1 0111 May 5,1883 the society was 1neo1pe1at0c1 111 accordance with section 3241 of the statutes of the State of Ohio. In the Aitieles 0f Incar'pmation the object of the society was stated as follows: WHO improve its membels in moral and intellectual culture, composition and oratoryfi The incorporators 134: were, Kellog, Moreland, Thurston, Eddy, Reece, Miner, Stierus and Oswalt. rPhe formation of the Clionian Literary Society in 1862 served as a delightful memory to old Philo broth- ers. As both societies grew there arose a feeling of mutual strength and many are the battles fought by both. Each succeeding year brought delightful tales of entertainment. Formal and info1111a1 receptions were the Older f1on1 time to time. But alas 111 1897 the heavy hand of the faculty cruelly put an ab1upt end to society visiting. In 1896 the Philos moved with the Phrenos to the second floor of the Philura Gould Baldwin Memorial Library. The Motto 0f the Philos has been HWithout labor, 110 success? and with this inspiration the P111105 have. carried themselves onward. - That is the tale of Philozetian development. Rev. John W. Thomson was the first president and 011 Feb. 22, 1900, the fiftieth anniversary of the societiest existence was commemorated. .From its beginning this society had interrupted growth and prosperity. High standards of oratory, and literary work were maintained and the Philo members strived for the highest achieve ments and they had their reward In 1903 C R. MeMeeken was victorious at the State. Olatorical Contest held at Yellow Splings, Ohio. Alw ly's stt iving toward the ideal and work! 111;; out life s battles have been the aim of the P111103. In 1915 we find them forming 2111 integral part of the Phi Kappa Phi. But the Philozetians were not the only society at Baldwin University. History tells us that in Baldwink earlier days when the college attendance consisted for the most pan of lug ged country 12tds,there met in solemn council one balmy October evening, several men from the Student body. Clad in homespun, awkward and angular 'in 3.11 pearance, wearing a crudely dignified yet thoughtful air, they solemnly entered the chapel and took a seat upon a bench. They had come to form a ttLiteraryW So in short the material, somewhat raw yet capable of infinite development was at 135 hand. It organized in 1837 and the result of this organ- ization has been eonspie uously in evidence in the succeeding years of Baldwin University. XVe are in- formed that this Cieeronie body continued to thrive 1301 some time after its forma- ticn and then trouble arose and we find half of the . members went off 011 a strike-as it were and establishing aniindependent boom for themselves. Em- blazoned upon their invincible banner one could plainly read their stirring motto HEloque Audeh which p'oniedr out meanetheftHave the unadulterated nerve to be eloquentfi From all this Phreno-Cosmian history began. In the early days oratory was the topic of the hour and the very soul of every college campus. In this regard the Phrenos were not to be outdone for their Craters have made citadels and public hails reverberate a thousand times. The Phreno meetings were held first in the 01d Recitation Hall, and then in the Natural Science Room of Hulet Hall. The next move was to the dingy but remarkable rooms in South Hall where the. members were filled with Phreno enthusiasm. In 1896 with the Philes, the Phrenos moved to the spar eious room over the library, . . Looking backward we find the Phrenos a strongly organized body, always working for success. In social work they were not to be outdone es is manifest by the mutual relationships 'wi'h their sister Aletheens. Many and happy were the meetings of these two societies and the names Phreno-Alethean were inseparably linked in the deeper bonds of frieanhip. When the great struggle came between the North and South, many loyal Phrenos and Philos fought for the Union under Grant and Thomasceand some fell at Chieamauga and Mission Ridge. On April 20, 1885, the Phrenoeosmian Literary Society was incorporated under the Laws of Ohio. I In 1902 the Aletheans and Phrenos held their meetings together in Library Hall and records show that valuable suggestions along literary lines were obtained thereby. Primarily; the cause for existence of a literary society is the literary ability which should be developed, and with this thought in mind the members of the Philozetian and Phrenoeosmian Societies worked for success. Although social activities were very important yet they did not eclipse the oratory and classic art which were produced. . Annual contests between Philo-Clios and Phreno-Aletheans were a fea- ture of each school year and there was intense feeling before such a contest. 136 But such competition only served to bring out the best in each society and 111 each individual member and altho there was always the desire to win, there always 1cmained a good loser. 111 1906 the societies moved to the third hoor of Science Hall and haev qince remained there. In 1913, Baldwin University and German Wallace College were united and the Societies continued to thrive. However in 1915 bath sought mutual strength and a 11.111011 was formed With the name Philo-Phreno. Later the name Phi Kappa Phi was adopted as an abbeviation 0f the two old. noble names Which were so well known in the annals of old Baldwin University. Since the union the society has prospered and retained those honored ideals of oratory and presentation which were imbedded in the hearts of all old Philos and Phrenos. The recent great war found many society members in the service and consequently a depletion of the membership resulted. While speaking of the war let us pause here to honor the memory of our brother and soldier, France Dennis, U. S. Marines, who fought valiantly and paid the supreme sacrifice on the field of battle July 25,1918 ' With the establishment of the military at the College in 1918 literary functmns were suppl essed and not until 1919 did the society resume.Witl1 the membership down to four, reorganization was started and the ordinary society activities resumed. In debate and oratory the society takes a promr nent part and still looks to the 01d traditions as an inspiration. OLD MENS DORMITORY Founded 1883 Carl Stiefel, D. D. Prof. L. Chrisman Rev.

This mom was denuded of all beauty; the Rlaster having been torn from the ' laths and doors from their hinges, it presented a very nninviting home fer a new literary so- ciety. Determined however as their intention they did not permit their environment to dis- courage them. The prospects of the future were debatable, but they temporarily organ- ized by appointing Messrs. H. L. Lange of Gordon, Minn, and Wm. A. I-Iuneke of Claring- ton, Ohio, 'as president and secretary pro-tem. A committee was then appointed who would present their new idea to the faculty of ,Qerman Wallace 71 College and during the course oithe evening a name, motto and con- ,stitution were the matters of discussion. ' a OniNov. 27, 1883, a report was submitted by the appeinted committee, stating that their intentions were approved. A11 election was then held, Which resulted in the official installation of Messrs. Lange and Huneke t0 the office of president and. secretary. The men were now eager to title their society and to place a motto that would be impressive to their future welfare. After a brief discussion no better name could be f01u1d than that of the great German an thor HGoethe to which was then added a motto under which in practice one is prone to sue- ceed, ttAge quod agisf, Do what you do. The hrst critic appointed to Goethe Society was. the esteemed and loved Professor Victor Wilker, who was then professor of languages of German 'Wallace College. The deep interest, the sympathetic attitude of the critic. the unfaltering ambition of the charter members and the confidence of a prosperous future held these men harnessed to their task. Their 01d room was THE name Goethe has resonnded thrn the campus of Baldwin-Wallaee 142 refinished and equipped with the needs of a literary hall and in the succeeding year 1884-1885, nine new members were added to their ten. The old worn-out brick building soon became insufficient to accommodate the 'apid growth of the school and in the year 11895 the new Administration Build: ing was completed. The Goethes moved into their new society hall which has been their permanent home for 25 years, where many Goethe men have coped with the literary problems of their day. From time to time innovations were accom- plished both in aesthetic task and in the cl'lm'acteristics 0f manhood. In 1915 the Greek letters were adopted in signifi- cance of the fraternal spirit of the day and these stand today as Gamma Lambda Sigma. The past is the foundation upon which Goethe men of the present are building and it is to those men Who laid the cornerstone that we pay high tribute in respect. We do not wish to count our gain in terms of material, but we do cherish the standards of character which these men of Goethe his- tory have carried with them'from their Alma Mater hand Goethe Hall into the world of men. They have Hleft peotprints 0n the sands of timeii which are worthy to follow and they have held their ideal beyond the sordid things of life. t i We shall endeavor to unite the best qualiw ties of Goethe history to the present ideals of her men and remain ever ready to obey the dictates of cohseience born to memory by her ' 1nott0;' Age quad agaisfi 143 Kg mm a: n Founded 1870 Helen Allinger Luella.

The ink has faded With the years, and the written records have become dim, but the fact remains that tasks Which will endure were undertaken by our forebears . in the halls of Baldwin-Wallaee College. Altho, in the year 1870 three men's. societies, organized for the purpose of literary and forensic development, existed at BaldwinWallaee College, 110 organization had been founded for the women of the institution. It was to change this situation that nine young women met in the parlor 0f the Ladiest Hall 011 January 16, 1870, and organized the Bettina Society of German Wallace College. The chartel members of this society were Amelia. Muhlemann, Louise Rothweiler, Anna Rothenberger, Louise Loebenstein, Louise Schuler, Emma Sehwerdtmann, Elizabeth Wiehtermann, Louise hWichtermann, and Emma Wuestenberg. The Misses Mary and Sopha Shupp, Anna Auetman, Catherine Roeder, and Mafy Weinbroer were taken into the society as members during the year 1870, constituting the hrst additions to the newly organized Society. The records tell us that these young women Hresolved to meet regularly every Monday night at 7 :00 o7eloekh for the purpose of ttintellectual de- velopment and practice in public ora- tions, deelamations, essays and so forth. A11 German speaking women students and former students desiring to join were eligible for membership. It is of interest to note that the chief privilege extended to members of the society was that 'of using the books belonging to the Wallace Li- brary and those belonging to the Bet- tina Society. When today we climb the three flights of stairs leading to our pleasant warm, steam-heated room 011 the third floor of the Administration Building and exhaustedly gasp, HWhy don,t they z 148 have an elevator? it would be well to re.- member that way back in the seventies the small parlor 0f the then Ladiest Hall was the Society Room 0111 founders had. YVe read with interest in the time-yellowed records that Miss Rothweiler and Miss Wiehtermann were appointed as a commit- tee to purchase an oil can, lamp, and oil to illuminate the ttSocT room, and to ask the authorities for permission to use the wood belonging to the nparlor stove for the purpose of keeping warm. The society grew steadily and worked out its purpose with such good results that a number 'of the girls attending Baldwin University askedi pennission to become members. This caused the iconstitution to be somewhat revised in 1875, and the membel-Ship basis to be somewhat broad- ened, making it poseihle for any young woman in German Wallace College or in Baldwin University to become a member. The purpose of the Society was more carefully specified so that it came to readeitthe purpose of this society . shall, be the intellectual development of its members, and practice in writing, reading and delivering essays, deelamations, orations, etc., in the German, Lai'iguage. For twenty years, nnti11896, the society retained its original name, pirii'ieiples, and purpose. On Oct. 3, 1896, Dr. Carl Riiemenschnei'der, then President of Germanf' Wallace, called the young women students of the college together for the purpose of reorganizing the literary society for women. Mary Sehall, Helen Hannes, Kate Heine Estella Schneider, Clara VVimderlieh, Selma Marting, and Edith Wilkei' wefe present at this meeting. Miss Mary Sehazul was elected President Pro Tem. Misses Weidemam'l, Hannes, and Wilker were appointed' as a committee to draw up a new constitution. On the evening of October 5, 1896, the newly organized society inet in the Goethe Society room which had kindly been oifered them by the college authorities, the one which we. now occupy. The new organiza- tion adopted as its nameePhilomathean Literary Society; its motto-Decimus agere 149 mann, Anne Weidemann, Augusta Eppelle, agendo; its colors-9b11ff and maroon ; its ftoweI-wthe red rose ; its purposeettmutual promotion in intellectual culture. t t The first officers of the Philomu- thean Literary Society were: Pres- ident, Mary Sehaal; Vice tPresi-v dent, Estella Schneider ; Correspont- in'g Secretary, Carrie Schaal. Miss; Ottilia Weidemann was its hrst critic. Having decided the very important questions of a name, constitution and officers the society proceeded to make its new home habitable. The room was at handebut it was cold and barren. First of all a stove was procured from Dr. Marting thru the agency of his daughter Selma. Curtains, tables, a gavel, a carpet and chairs followed easily enough due to the unlimited enthusiasm of the girls and the student body in general, for the recorfs tell us of numerous kindly bits of help given these pioneer Philos by Sehillers, Goethes and Germanias. In these days of high cost of everything, it hardly seems possible that twenty-five years ago our Philomathean sisters record of having bought Njust the chairs we need for the room at $30.00 a dozen. We are inclined to say With Tennyson, HCome, Time, and teach me many years, For now so strange do these things seem,H when we read that the Philomatheans had a Nreal candy sale in 1898 to pay off some of the debt incurred by the pmn chase of a piano and paid $2.10 forttwenty bouilds 0f walnuts and $12.66 for :1, BARREL of sugar. It is also interesting to note that for several years the Philomathean piano was used for practicing by some of the best students in T the department of music. The programs of the past twenty years offer many interesting conjectures. De- bates such as thist Resolved that honor is more beneficial to mankind than riches. Resolved-That the woman and not the man should have the privilege of proposing. The latter is recorded as having been decided Tunanimously in the affirmative. Debates, narrations, descriptions, essays, declamaw tions and extempos form the most frequent numbers. ' That the musical talent of the society has always been one of its outstanding features can be concluded from the fact that several public concerts have been given within the last fifteen years. On March 4, 1902, a concert was rendered in the College Chapel Which netted the society $65.00, 150 the price of admission being twenty-five cents. It has been necessary, within the last decade, to limit the 111embership of the society in order that each member may truly work out the purpose of the organization by getting a certain amount of practice in lite my work. During the wartime just past, each girl in the society felt it her privilege as well as duty to aid the local Red Cross in the great woxk which it was doing to relieve the suffering and lighten the hardships of those fighting for the maintenance of 0111' nationis principles. The Jubilee Campaign of the College which was carried on in 1917 was supported by the Society in the form of 21 Liberty Bond. In writing the history of an organization it is difficult to decide what sheuld be written and what should be left out. The pages of Philomathean history as we have found them in the records of past years lead us to realize more than ever what it means to come into a rich heritage of high ideals, strong principles, and devotion to work united by the bonds of . a common purpose and mutual love and friendship. It is only 011 occa- sion of our An- nual Banquets 0r Commene e m e n t Reunions that we, of this college generation, have the opportunity of meeting With Philomatheans of former e 0 11 e g e d a. y s , b 11 t w e know they are found in all. parts of the worlde some as mission- aries to foreign lands; others as promoters of mis- sionary activity in o u 1' o W 11 country; several as ed 11 e a t o r s ; many as teach- Vere; a number as musicians; wives of m in i s t e r s ; wives of faculty members; business women; journalists; doctors; nurSes; the rest in less conspicuous but not less important walks of life. Considering the purpose for which this society was founded, knowing that for years its members have striven to accomplish that purpose, re- membering that though they lovec ttsociety much they loved their Alma Mater more, we as Philomatheans of 1920 are glad to siugyze t HVVehve the co-eds of B-W-C And we sing to our Alma Mater, Oh, And as we sing, as verse well add, To our Lit the Best in O-hi-O 151 Here,s Where the Philomatheans Have built their Philo Hall And Monday night, each sister true, XVill heed Phi Lambda Sigma7s call.
