The facts which he learned about each sub- ject seem to have faded away entirely, and he has only a general impression of the whole. Each one seems to be possessed of a certain individual tone and flavor, due partly to the character of the study itself, but in a large measure due to the personality of the instructor in that particular branch. Any one who has taken German in Beloit College cannot look back upon his course his welfare. He is loyal to all college interests, especially athletics. He has a generous without many associations of this kind. The days of Ekkehard and Der Trompeter are times when one imagines himself sitting in a long dingy room, lighted by windows at the back and at either end. Une remembers the feeling of annoyance that he had because the big antiquated iron stove was so located that it shut off the best view of the shady avenue. On a table was a large German dictionary much worn on the outside. The blackboards were covered with cabalistic signs purporting to be German script, and the desk was of the telescoping kind, which it was your delight to operate in Freshman days. But these things all became matters of unimportant detail as one became impressed with the personality of the man who for twenty-eight years has ruled this little kingdom. To many generations of college students Professor Pearson has with infinite patience and unfailing geniality in- terpreted and represented the spirit of the German race-its attitude of mind, its methods of thought and turns of expression-summed up in his favorite expression der Deutches Sprach-Gefuhlf' Calvin W. Pearson entered Earlham College in 1859. Two years after, he became prin- cipal of the academy at Picton, Ontario, but later returned to Earlham and was gradu- ated, taking his degree of B. A. in 1865. After one year's service as assistant Principal in the College academy he entered the University of Gottingen. Here he received the de- grees of M. A. and Ph. D., having spent one year in study at Berlin in the meantime. He was called to the Chair of Modern Languages in Earlham College in I87O. Seven years later he entered upon his present duties at Beloit. Since then Professor Pearson has spent three vacations abroad for the purposes of study. There is one thing that interests Professor Pearson more than German, and that is the life of the students. He knows each one of his students personally and is interested in fund of humor and his cheery cordiality is unfailing as he greets each hearty greeting, Guten Morgen. Wie Gehts?

Neither, on the other hand, will there be any exploiting of the inner life of one whose worth is ever revealed in larger measures through years of growing intimacy. A quarter of a century of unbroken friendship has revealed to the writer threads of gold in the texture of character, wealth of treasure within, which perhaps our friend has not manifested to the less privileged, but of these things silence too is golden. James Arnold Blaisdell is a true son of Beloit. one of its many loyal Alumni, but he was also to the manor born. Professor J. J. Blaisdell came to Beloit in 1859 and those who knew him in his home or at the front, knew of his personality and his power, his visions and his citizenship, his inspiring life and commanding influence,-those who knew him for any part of his forty years in Beloit, could not but expect large things of his son. Born in Beloit in 1867, graduating from the Academy in 1885, from College in 1889, from Hartford Theological Seminary in 1892, James Blaisdell won his place as a student, a thinker and an orator. For personal reasons he declined the proffered scholarship of Hartford. representing two years' study abroad, and returning to VVisconsin began his ministry with the Congregational church at Waiikeslia. His four years' successful pastorate at NVaukesha. during which he won the affection and confidence of his brother ministers as well as of his own people, was closed by the acceptance of the call to the college church at Olivet, Mich. There he remained seven years, the pastor, preacher and friend of think- ing young men and women. Perhaps the fact that he had a Roman heart as well as a Roman birth led him to consider favorably the subsequent call to Beloit College. Nev- ertheless the voices of Olivet and Michigan friends, raised in protest, led him to hesitate some time before consenting to give his strength and service to the college of his first love, the sacred field so hallowed by his father's inspiring ministry. Professor Blaisdell is now on his third year of work at Beloit, and while it is too soon to estimate his success in this new department where he is making a pilgrim way, it is manifest he has launched his Mayflower with no uncertain aim or purpose. As Li- brarian of the college and as a preacher in very frequent demand all about this vicinity he is giving himself freely and generously in large service apart from his regular class room work. Fearless to follow where truth leads, Professor Blaisdell is also deeply reverent and loyal to the past, living and working in the spirit that maketh alive. He opens the Bible- not as a reservoir of creeds and theologies, but as a fountain of life. An orator by nature, he seeks not the entertaining word so much as the helpful and practical message. If he makes the simple truth illuminating and inspiring it is only in the effort to reveal the attractiveness of the Christ, and to become all things to all men if by any means he may win some. Whatever his field of work, in ambitions and ideals, visions and tasks, here is one with his face to the light and with his soul attuned to the Oratorio of the Infinite. C. A. O. '91, BREEZE!! E15 1 16 THEc:oDEXCQ9QJZr9 I'. Fran C HSC -Effa-E52 '-32459 the vacation of 1904, when the college students were widely scattered, there went a rumor here and there to the effect that Dr. Malcolm Wallace had resigned his position as head of the department of English Literature in Beloit R339 tS:D R::9 tra? College, in order that he might accept a professorship in Toronto University. Much as we regretted it, we were obliged to face the fact that Dr. Wallace was to leave Beloit, after live years of earnest and successful work. It is due to his enthusiastic efforts that the English department has become one of the most creditable in the college, and we felt that to fill his place and maintain the high standards set by him, a man of no small ability and experience would be required. Dr. Frank Herbert Chase, as the successor of Dr. Wallace, has quickly proven to us that he is the right man in the right place. Dr. Chase is a New Englander, his old family home being in Haverhill, Mass. In 1894 he graduated from Yale, having specialized in English and the classics, and having won several prizes by his excellent work. He was made a member of the honorary fraternity Phi Beta Kappa, and had also the distinction of being Valedictorian of his class. He continued his studies at the University for two years, when he was given the degree of Doctor of Philosophy. His thesis was on The Study of Syntax of Expressions of Time in 'Old English. Since the completion of his study at Yale, Dr. Chase's experience has been varied and valuable. He spent a year as instructor in the Cheshire Military Academy in Connecticut and then went abroad for fifteen months. After his return to America, Dr. Chase was for a year, tutor in English at Yale, but his health failing, he again went abroad, this time to the Orient. Several months were spent in Egypt, Palestine, Turkey and Greece, and it was not until more than a year had passed, partly abroad and partly at Haverhill, that he was able to resume his work. He was professor of English in Bates College, Maine, for a year, and then he took a similar position in Central University, Danville, Kentucky, where he remained until he came to Beloit in February, 1905. Dr. Chase isa man of broad sympathies and high ideals,-a typical Beloit man. He has taken a lively interest in all the aspects of our College life. He has placed the Eng- lish Club upon a new and secure basis, making it an interesting and helpful organization. He is a member of the College Musical Association, and is giving his time and attention to other interests of the institution. While the energetic application of his ability to his work and to the welfare of the college, demanded and held our respect, his wit and genial manner, the evident interest which he takes in every student, and the strength of his clean Christian character, quickly won our hearts. Wfe feel that we may well congratulate our- selves on having among us a man like Professor Chase, and we hope that his connection with the College will remain unbroken for many years to come. E. S.

Montague cared for his father during the later years of the latter's life and always 1 :.E2 1 :.E 9 ':.E 2f:aE2 spoke of him in terms of high admiration. The boy became an orphan at my iiiuiiiniiig thirteen, and went to live with his older brother at Little Falls, New York. Here he took his High School course, graduating as valedictorian of his class. For a short time he was connected with a knitting mill in Little Falls. Then he moved to New York to live with another brother and for a year held a position as book-keeper. Still in the home of his brother, he entered Hamilton College. In scholarship he became a Phi Beta Kappa man Cone of the first five in his classj, and a prize-winner in both mathematics and natural sciences. He won the Huntington mathematical scholarship, the second Thompkins prize in mathematics, first prize in chemistry, first prize in physics, the Clark prize in ora- tory, the McKinney prize debate, and the honor of appointment on the commencement pro- gram. He was one of the representatives of his class on their debating team, and literary editor of both the Hamiltonian Literary Magazine and The Hamiltonian, an annual pub- lished by the junior class. He played on the varsity base-ball team for four years, and be- longed to the varsity track team for three years. At the time of his death he held the college records for the shot-put and the indoor high kick. He was a member of the Delta Upsilon fraternity. During his junior year he experienced a deepening of religious life and. at commencement time, announcement was made of his engagement to Miss Clara Dunmore, the daughter of Judge Dunmore of Utica. The following September, 1904, he began his work in Oratory and Rhetoric at Beloit. In the spring recess of 1905, he with a student went for a hunting and canoeing trip on Rock river, at that time much swollen with spring rains and melting snow. The canoe capsized about five miles above Beloit and Mr. VVhite, who seems to have been attacked by cramp, was drowned. In his brief experience among the students and faculty of Beloit, Mr. Wliite still seemed to be in the student stage of his career. His intimate acquaintances and friends were all students. In general he did not seek out such acquaintances and friends as might be to his own advantage, but gave himself without reserve to those who needed his companionship and came to him for it. He sought to be helpful to both the wayward and the slow. His criticisms upon individual themes were as a rule elaborate and thoughtful taking up the U91 THE CODEX subject-matter as well as the form of expression. In his conception of public speaking, naturalness, earnestness and force were prominent. His faithful methods of work were sure to tell more and more in the life of the college as time went on. Mr. White was an idealist of the practical type. He had implicit faith in the goodness at the heart of every man, and in the self-executing efficiency of ideal principles. He was continually appealing straight to the honor and manliness of young men, and he had little sympathy for the one who could not respond. He believed that those who once see the right to be the right for them must needs do right forever. Especially in students he put large trust. He believed in the honor system of conducting examinations, but wished an honor system without a students' investigating committee, one in which each should be put absolutely on his own honor. His unusual influence over the few who knew him well was largely due to this attitude toward them. Mr. White seemed to possess all ordinary virtues to an extraordinary degree. A more symmetrical mind and body would be hard to find. He lived and worked quietly, without ostentation and without desiring the notice and comment of others. He taught a Sunday- school class of boys. He studied the tramp, the pauper and the slums. He at one time thought of devoting himself to the slum-work of large cities. In all his interest he was supremely and simply himself. He had the idealist's large trust in himself. With a strong, beautiful body, a cultured understanding, a judgment of unusual sanity, he was sure to become an efficient worker in whatever sphere he chose for a life employment. I cannot forget the wistfulness and fine self-mastery of his eyes and face. When he smiled he brought an atmosphere of purity and culture into his talk. He seemed to think of the young men and women to whom he stood in the relation of instructor with tenderness and yearning. Loyalty to friends and to the tasks of life was one of the points of view from which he judged men. Another was common honesty. We did not love him because he did more for us than any other man we had ever known, write two of his student friends, although he did, but we loved him because he was Montague White. f 20-1 THECODEX 4 l i A l ,c c rl R PUTNAM is a Pennsylvania man, his home being in the North- eastern part of that state.

Scholarship, athletics, society, music, debate,-all these help constitute that which we know as a College course, and each is of great importance. But there is another factor which, to a greater or less degree, enters into the life of every man and woman in the student body, and without which a symmetrically developed college life would be impossible. This is the spirit of Beloit Gratory. A Freshman attending his first vesper service is impressed by three things, the dignity, the simplicity, and the earnestness of the exercises. There is no pompous display, no sac- rifice of spirit to form, and yet these three characteristics are at once so strongly marked and so harmoniously blended that the result is a service of rare beauty. And even as the weekly vespers may be characterized by these three words, so the ideal of Beloit oratory may be said to consist of a union of the same elements. Simplicity, dignity, earnestness,-- these are the goals towards which every man who has ever represented Beloit on the rostrum has been aiming, and when, as has happened three times during the last college generation a speaker has been found with the ability to attain that ideal, the result has been the winning for Beloit of the highest oratorical honors that the colleges of the United States can confer. There is no need in an article of this nature for a resume of the victories Beloit men have won on the public platform. The story of our successes is known by every one con- nected with the college and by many who have become acquainted with Beloit solely l'-24 l THE coDEx T THE Contax ' 1- KANKLIN B. SN YUEK through the medium of its oratorical history. Yet not everyone realizes the amount of preparation necessary for winning such contests, not only on the part of the speaker, but by each and every member of the student body. If our series of victories is not to be long interrupted, this two-fold preparation must be carefully attended to. There must be a genuine. whole-souled enthusiasm in every one connected with the college, an enthusi- asm that will outline defeats, and will only be strengthened by reverses. The speaker who looks forward to winning the Inter-State Contest must live for that contestg for him it must be the one event in a lifetime, and his idal must be ever before him. biven these two factors. success will always follow the Beloit banner. And although not everyone can win the Inter-State-for the victors in that contest are the picked men, the exceptional few-still every man can gain something from the spirit of oratory as he sees it exemplified in our college. No one ever enters Beloit without coming, consciously or unconsciously, under this influenceg and to those who can give to it a little more than ordinary time and thought, it will prove a wonderfully profitable field. Beloit oratory is not centered around the Inter-State Contest: rather might we say that such events are only incidental to the true work of this branch of college activities. Char- acter, after all, is the final goal, and while every victory furnishes a new incentive to work. still it is the manhood and not the prize that is the aim of Beloit oratory. The college prides itself on graduating from its classes broad-minded, honest, self-reliant men anel women, and because the earnest study of oratory helps develop such men and women in a way that nothing else can do, should it be a part of the life of every student in Beloit. F. B. SNYDER, '05, E251 J . o 450 SX FGHT TH MHSDHUIDS NGHRISTIE f26 awww THE-CODEX A Group of Beloitis Missionaries James Demarest Eaton., '69 James D. Eaton is an alumnus known more or ltss to Beloit students of recent years because he is a brother of our recently-resigned president, and because it was he who gave the missionary lectures on the Porter Foundation in 1900. His college training was received during the four pregnant years following the Civil VVar. For classmates and associates he had a large circle of men who since have become so well known to the misisonary world. Among them might be mentioned J. D. Davis. E. A. NVauless. A. H. Smith, H. D. Porter. J. K. Kilbourn, J. NV. Blair, C. B. Curtis. VV. NV. Curtis, T. D. Christie and W. Cs Dewey. A theological course at Andover and later post-graduate work at Yale were followed by pastorates in the First Congregational Church in Oregon and the First Church in Montclair, N. J. In 1876 Rev. Dr. N. G. Clark, foreign secretary of the American Board proposed to Dr. Eaton that he establish a new mission in Northern Mexico, a region opening to the world by the recent building of the Mexican Central Railroad. In 1882 he was commis- sioned to visit Chihuahua and explore the region. Here he settled, the following fall, with his family and has been engaged in various phases of missionary work ever since. Dr. Eaton has been closely identified with the Christian Endeavor movement in Mexico, being representative for his adopted land at the World's C. E. convention in London, 1900, and also Mexico Trustee of the VVorld's C. E. Union. At the present time Dr. Eaton is Treasurer of the Mexican Mission and church of Chihuahua and is acting pastor of the American Congregational church in that city. Aside from this work he has charge of Five native preachers, a Bible Society colporteur, and has spiritual oversight of the Boer Colony which is only sixty miles distant. Indeed, the work which this zealous missionary has done can not be measured. The churches and school which he has organized and assisted during his twenty-three years in Mexico are almost innumerable. He, like so many of Beloit's men has followed out Christ's command: G0 ye into all the world and preach the gospel to every creaturef' Thomas Davidson Christie., '71 Perhaps there is no Beloit graduate, indeed, few college men in America whose life has been one of such contrasts as has been the life of Thomas D. Christie. Born in Ireland in 1843 he was brought by his parents to America in 1846, where they settled in Dodge county, NVisconsin. The surroundings of this early life were simple in the extreme. The hardships were born cheerfully each member of the family bearing his or her share of the burden uncomplainingly. One month's schooling was all that could be gained for the boys during each entire year. However winter evenings were occupied around the great tire- side studying Greek and Latin and reading a few books chief among which were Milton's Poems and Bunyan's Pilgrim's Progress. From these inlluences young Thomas Christie gained a desire to attend college. Immediate realization of this desire was shattered by the sudden outbreak of the Civil NVar, which brought to the young man an irresistable call to aid his country. The four following years were years of service and privation. Books I27I THECODEX were not forgotten, however, for many a long evening was spent by the camp fire studying for college entrance examination. Such perseverance could not fail. After the war Mr. Christie spent four enjoyable years in college, graduating in 1871. How those four years were crowded with ideals, accomplishments and friendships his later life shows. Since 1877 Dr. Christie has labored as a missionary in Tarsus and Marash Turkey. Despite the duties of president of St. Paul's Institute, which were laid on him in 1892, he never is happier than when preaching among the villages of our great Held, proclaiming the unsearchable riches of Christ. ln ISQKS the degree of 13.17. was conferred upon Pres. Christie by New York University and in 1894 the University of Aberdeen bestowed the degree of LL. D. C. F. Gates. '77 .-Ks a small college Beloit possesses tl1e distinction of having produced a large number of college presidents. Une of these is President C. F. Gates of Robert College, Constantino- ple. After graduating from Beloit in 1877, Mr. Gates completed a course at Chicago Theo- logical Seminary. Filled with the missionary zeal which has ever been strong in Beloit the graduate from the Seminary sailed for Turkey at the age of twenty-four. His first field of labor was Mardin. During the thirteen years' stay in this district Mr. Gates was engaged hrst as general missionary and later as principal of the High School. The abilities shown in educational lines led to Mr. Gates receiving a call to be president of Euphrates College in 1894. ln 1895 occurred the terrible Armenian massacres. lt will be remembered that at this time the attention of the whole civilized world was turned anxiously on the Christians in Armenia. President Gates was asked to fill a responsible position as head of the relief work among Armenian Christians. Under his guidance relief funds were distributed to the amount of half a million dollars. Prtsident Gates' missionary achievements are paralleled by his scholarly accomplish- ments. Study in Europe and Turkey make him proficient in French, Turkish, Arabic and German. Knox, Beloit's sister college, conferred the degree of D. D. upon Pres. Gates and later he received the degree of LL. D. from the University of Edinburgh, Scotland. In the comparatively short time that Dr. Gates has been at the head of Robert College he has evinced that same ability and Christian steadfastness which has characterized his entire career, and this spirit has already brought great things to that Oriental school. Frank Bailey McCuskey, '98 Frank B. McCuskey is one of Beloit's younger alumni who is possessed with that same missionary zeal which has lived with such strength with every college generation. Those who were fortunate to know Mr. McCuskey personally feel that the great task of a mis- sionary will not be too great for his energy. While in college he entered into the various activities in a way which is distinctly characteristic of the man. Mr. McCuskey's record as an orator while in college was high. In athletics he was most enthusiastic and it was he who established Beloit's mile record in running. Though a fraternity man he endeavored ever to make his sympathies and appreciations as broad as the college. In and out of school he was always engaged in church work. Still, he did not take up his missionary work without a struggle, but once that struggle was fought out he entered i11to the task with a joy and enthusiasm which is not to be diverted except by the hand of God. So to-day Mr. and Mrs. McCuskey who also, is a Beloit graduate are laboring in far- off India high up among the grandest mountains of the world, the Hymalayas. Since his arrival in India in 1902 Mr. McCuskey has been advanced from one responsible position to another until to-day he is director of the evangelistic work in Ambala district Punjab and is Examiner in English and Vernacular Translations in Punjab University. 1281 THECODEX Representatives of Beloitis Business Men Roger Leavitt. '82 Among Beloit's Alumni may be numbered those who are recognized as the keenest business men in the middle west. Roger Leavitt is a representative of this class. Born in Iowa in 1860 he has spent most of his active life in that State save that he took his pre- paratory course and collegiate course at Beloit. Upon completing his college course he entered at once into a bank. With the exception of a year of post-graduate History work at Yale Mr. Leavitt has remained in the banking business from the summer of his gradua- tion until the present time. In 1888 he was given the position of cashier of the Cedar Falls National Bank of Cedar Falls, Iowa, which position he still holds. During the eight- een years that Mr. Leavitt has been cashier the bank has greatly enlarged its business and the responsibilities of his position have increased many-fold. But along with the increasing responsibilities of the bank have come year by year many other positions of trust. Mr. Leavitt assisted in organizing the Cedar Falls Savings Bank in 1899. He is secretary and also one of the organizers of the Cedar Falls Trust Companyg treasurer of Cedar Falls Canning Companyg vice-president of both the Townsend and Merrill Lumber Company and the Cedar Falls Building and Loan Association. In educational circles also his ability has been recognized and he is trustee of Iowa College and Iowa State Normal. In every en- terprise with which he has been connected he has shown ability and integrity which have called forth the confidence of his fellows. i291 -THECODEX John Steel Beloit's graduates have wandered far and wide. Her business men have penetrated every part of the globe and engaged in every legitimate business. John Steel is one who has left his native land and taken up his home in Grenoble, France. Mr. Steel has long been engaged in the kid glove business. After graduating from Beloit in 1878 he went into busi- ness in Chicago. In 1880 he went to Grenoble in the employ of Messrs. Foster, Paul and Company, a New York kid-glove importing house. Mr. Steele proved such an able repre- sentative in France that in 1886 he became a partner in the New York firm and was made manager of the Grenoble department. The following eleven years were ones of great pros- perity, a large factory having been built in Grenoble which was producing a great supply of gloves. In 1897, however, the firm thought it advisable to sell out because of the death of the senior member Mr. Foster and the ill health of Mr. Paul. Since that time Mr. Steel has made his permanent residence in France and represents the importing firm of Edward Thomass and Company, New York. Mr. Steel has married a French woman of fine ac- complishments and has erected a beautiful residence in the suburbs of Grenoble, which commands a magnificent view of the Daulphine Alps. Mr. and Mrs. Steel have three chil- dren a son and two daughters.

In 1904 it was 1ny duty, as a member of the Knox team. to debate against three of these representatives, and in 1905 it was my privilege to be present in the audience before which the annual contest was held. The teams representing Beloit on these two occasions were only slightly different, there being but one change in the 1905 team from what it had been in 1904. Consequently I am enabled to judge of the work of practically the same team from two different points of view-from that of the direct antagonist, and from that of the interested spectator. In an article of this kind I suppose it would not be at all proper to indulge in ad- verse criticismg but I am bound to say that in this case the question is not so much one of propriety as of possibility, for surely' in an impartial criticism the debating defects of men like Lewis, Kneller, Kennedy and Snyder hardly ought to be regarded as genuine de- l31 I vTHECODEX ' fects, but rather as personal idiosyncrasies to which all men of any caliber are subject. The fact is that it would not require much oratorical license to say of these men, that in their efforts of the last two years they approximated very closely to the acme of collegiate debating perfection. Knox College regards it as no small honor to have been able to defeat Beloit's 1904 team, and by no means does she regard it as a great disgrace to have been even unani- mously defeated by a very similar team in 1905. Beloit's representatives against Knox in the last ten years have been men who were gentlemen-every one of them a gentlemen in every sense of the word. The writer has seen them in defeat and in victory, and no one could have acted with better grace than they in either instance. The hospitable and extremely pleasant way in which they entered into the reception tendered to the Knox team in IQO4 after the decision had been pronounced against them is something which will never be forgotten by the Knox debaters. And then, too, their good-natured enthusiasm and well-modulated glee on the occasion of their victory last spring. only added to the good impression they had already made. In their actual debating they often hit their opponents hard and in very terse sentences, yet all such rhetorical strokes showed the very best of discretion and were invariably unoffensive and well-taken. As to their argumentation and style of debate, little need be said, as their consistency, adaptability and team work are known to all who have heard them. There is one thing I desired to mention along this line, however, as it particularly impressed me. In spite of the fact that in both of these last two contests, Beloit upheld the negative side of the ques- tion discussed, her debaters on both occasions directed their efforts towards drawing the affirmative side away from its own position, even before the conclusion of the first round of speeches. This attempt to direct the attention of the affirmative, from the very begin- ning of the debate, to a consideration of the negative's position, and thus to prevent it from fully establishing its own, met with considerable success in the debate last spring. But of course such success only emphasized the real debating ability of Beloit's representatives. It is in form and presentation, however, that Beloit's last two debating teams against Knox manifested an excellence superior to anything ever seen in ordinary collegiate de- bates. Their ease of bearing, fluency of speech, readiness for any emergency, their grace and dignity of expression, their conservative enthusaism, their deliberative and forceful style, readily created the impression that they were masters of the situation and gave them an advantage at the very start which was almost irresistable. They gave evidence of a strong combination of native ability and much practice. Moreover both the 1904 and 1905 teams were well-balanced. Each speaker had his own individual style, yet there was no appreciable difference between them as to their general debating ability. Each one seemed to be able to handle in his own way any argument just as effectively as any one else. The result was a balance and proportion not often found in intercollegiate debating teams. The last two teams sent by Beloit against Knox were truly remarkable. Beloit has reason to feel proud of them. Knox unstintingly congratulates Beloit on having such able representatives. M. WILLARD LAMFE, '04 lKnox1. i321 QQQXMTHE CQDEXQQQQEQ T116 MOUHdS and Their Builders 't sggg T is fitting that a page or two of the Codex should be devoted to the memory of the men who once lived on the Campus I 3 and who left as memorials of their occupancy the interesting group of monuments that we call Mounds. These men Q' were not, as is often popularly supposed, members of a '- ' 'X - strange race, which has disappeared from the earth, they were the ancestors of the modern lndians and differed from them in no wise except in their modes of life. The Mound Builder lived a sedentary life, he cultivated the ground and built quite permanent abodes. In these respects he differed from his more nomadic descendants. The Mound Builders evidently were divided into tribes, which differed among themselves in degree of culture. The most civilized, judging from their relics, were those who lived in Tennessee, Missouri and southward. Those who in- habited Wfisconsin were not as advanced, they did not show as much skill in the numaufacture of pcntery,in the chipping of Hint,in the constructnni of their mounds. The Mound Build- ers wduo hved in this era proba- bly belonged to the great Algon quin stock, or rather to the prede- cessors of that snack. There was undoubtedly more or less co-mingling with mem- bers of the Siouan family, who lived beyond the Mississippi, and wdun have been xveh caHed. the Bedouin of North America. The delimitations of the tribes that made up the Mound Builders of Vtfisconsin are not known, there has not been sufficient work done in this state as yet to deter- nnne tdballocauons and boun- daries, though it is hoped that such facts may be discovered in the near future. Tdiere vvere vvidini the lnrnts of the state,l1oxvever, a inaniber of tribes and each tribe was subdivided into clans, each one of which was designated by some particular name, generally the name of an animal. This animal being the totem of the clan. The most remarkable earthen structures on the continent are those representing the totemic animal of the various Mound L f-22. f33J k THECODEX lluilder clans. These mounds are generally termed effigy mounds and they are limited almost exclusively to XVisconsin and the adjoining portions of 'Illinois and lowa. There are one or two effigy mounds on the campusg one of them, the Turtle lNIound, near the observatory is perhaps the finest effigy extant. ln the neighborhood of Beloit there are a number of mound groups and each one contains an effigy designating probably the totem of the clan which lived there. In addition to the effigy mound, the Mound Builder con- structed two other types, namely the elongate or wall mound and the conical or burial mound. Both are represented on the Campus. The purpose of the wall mound is not well understoodg the old idea that they served as a for- tification is probably incorrect. They may have been used in con- nection with game drives or possi- bly in certain ceremonials. The wall mounds are to be seen be- tween Art Hall and the Gymna- sium. There are fifteen conical mounds on the Campus, these are not necessarily burial mounds. though some of them probably served that purpose. These mounds are arranged in two groups, one of ten mounds, between the Chapel and the Library, and the other of five mounds, between Middle College and the Art Hall. Connected with each group is an effigy or wall mound. Through the mounds on the Campus and through the splendid collections of the Logan Museum. we are brought into close touch with these prehistoric racesg in a measure we may enter into their lives, their experiences, and understand something of their daily routine and toil. -In the hurry and hustle of our modern college life, as we pass among their mounds, let us at times give these people of the long ago the tribute of a passing thought. I am thankful that the editors of the Codex have volunteered thus to do. GEO. L. COLLIE, Cizrafor of thc Logan Mzzsmr-111. E341 THECODEX QSQZQ9 CRLCUL ...F-. E51 ry wi 'fn 4 1 O 5' I 0 . . O 1 1 Q.

' ful day. lt had rained that morning and the drip- 'rf Yq l ping depots and streets were not especially inviting to the young rustics who dropped in by twos and 1 AX 5 1 ' X., yxficiwx threes, intent upon making their name and fame under , ' F' the tutelage of Beloit College professors. The rain w and damp night have been discouraging to some, 5-Q but it only served to heighten the ardor and courage of these would-be makers of history. Xllednesday, however, opened bright and fair, and it was with beating hearts and Hushed faces that the members of the new freshman class of '06 filed into Middle College and performed the very arduous task of registration. That duty done, they stood huddled together in groups, watching the upper classmen as they went to and fro, laughing and joking, wondering if this fellow with the ugly nose and tousled hair was their sworn enemy, the Sophomore, and whether that distinguished looking individual was really a Senior. That night was a restless one for the Freshmen, but on the following day, when studies began in earnest, the hustle and confusion of the opening day served to relieve their minds from the anxious strain of the preceding hours. Consequently, when the momentous Saturday came along, there never was a more happy, confident crowd of Freshmen than that which awaited the onslaught of the '05 Sophomores. Well, the Cane-Rush was interesting but not particularly exciting. It was so very simple and such an easy victory for the Freshmen that the event was quickly forgotten. Not by the Sophomores, however, for when the Freshmen banquet was held. some daring would-be heroes of '05 had the nerve to attempt to break up the festivities. XV hen the Sophomores jumped through the window and into the banquet hall, a few Freshmen rose quietly from their seats, grasped the intruders by the nape of the neck and deposited them in ludicrous posi- tions about the room that they might amuse the ladies who derived intense pleasure from the casting of bits of cake at their dirty faces, on the principle of Knock a nigger baby down and you get a cigar. A few more Sopho- mores followed, but upon looking through the window and seeing the pre- dicament of their fellows, quickly disappeared. The remainder of the even- ing passed very pleasantly, notwithstanding several other petty annoyances on the part of the opposite class. Nothing more of especial interest occurred until the next spring when, with a hastily picked team, the Freshmen easily beat the three upper classes E391 CQQQETHE CODEXESQZB in their favorite game of baseball by such large scores that even the Sopho- mores' usual cry of luck was not to be heard. Thus passed the first year of this remarkable class. Victory and glory upon every side were hers, in athletics, studies, forensics and every other known form of class competition. XVith such a brilliant beginning it was not difficult to predict its future. As Sophomores, the class of '06 easily maintained its superiority. At the Cane Rush, when the Freshmen approached, laboriously lugging the tele- phone poles of a smaller size, which they had evidently mistaken for canes, the Sophomores, after several futile attempts to break them, seized one of the larger poles, quickly brushed off the twenty or thirty Freshmen who tried to interfere and gave it to one of their number who trotted away with it. They were about to repeat this novel proceedure when time was called and the rush was ended. Victory, however, was awarded to the class of '06, because of the impossibility of breaking the young trees which the ignorant Freshmen had mistaken for the regular canes. But as the Freshmen were still sassy and impudent at times, the Sopho- mores further inconvenienced themselves to the extent of thoroughly thrash- ing the new class in foot, in baseball and also in a track meet. The result was very satisfactory, for the Freshmen never again attempted to assert their self-confidence. Through its Junior and Senior years the history of '06 repeated itself. Taking victory as a matter of course, receiving compliments with very be- coming modesty, meeting with neither adversity nor opposition, it stands high on the records of its Alma Mater. Its days of class competition are over, it can find no worthy competitor. Consequently it has turned its efforts to the overpowering of the great masters of science and philosophy. By the end of june, 1006, it hopes to have accomplished a complete victory over these worthier opponents, surely it cannot fail. Its record of victories has been continuous and unbroken, its history has been a remarkable addition to the traditions of its college and its members still vie with one another in demonstrating their loyalty to their class and to their school. In view of its past history we can do no other than predict a great and glorious future for the graduates of Naughty Six. f40l THE CODEX Nineteen Six Class Poem I. In the year of 1902, when there sprung up into view The supreme, unrivalled class of naughty-six, They betimes sat down to feast, of every kind of bird and beast And of every dainty dish that man can mix. 'Mid the splendor and the clang, with exultant voice they sang: We'1l show Prexie what a college class can do. Who expects More than Prex? We'll show Prexie what a college class can do. II. And they gathered three years after, just to raise the roof and rafter, And to laugh and sing about the cheery board, 'Mid the coffee and the clatter, 'mid the chicken and the chatter, How they hollered, how they ripped, how they roared: XVe have done the greatest deed, ever yet was mortal meedg We've shown Prexie what a college class can do. Who expects More than Prex? We've shown Prexie what a college class can do. III. But be not afraid good sinner, we shall not disturb your dinner, With the data and the details of our story, How as greshmen strong and stout, we knocked all the Sophs a out, Or how iron, track and diamond gave us glory. For our prowess and our fame have been spread on wings of fame, To the farthest nooks and corners of the earth. Oh what glory! When your story Fills the farthest nooks and corners of the earth. IV. Why, one day Andrew Carnegie got up feeling mighty plaguy, Said: I don't know what on earth I'm going to do, 1906 of Beloit College, famed for beauty, brawn and knowledge, Has been buzzing in my head the long night through. But I'll smother the sensation with a liberal donation. And behold! he gave us fifty thousand wheels. Blessed your star! A Andrew Car- Negie for you gave us fifty thousand wheels. V. Thus we might keep on relating, to the world expatiating, How we brought our Alma Mater great renown, This same year it came to pass, that, to see our wondrous class, By the hundreds piled the Freshmen into town, Like the phantoms when one's dreaming, they came streaming, streaming, streaming, Just to look upon this startling class of ours! What a fuss, To see us, To behold this rustling, bustling class of ours. VI. And Beloit, our Alma Mater, through the years we'll celebrate her With our praises and our deeds of high exploit. For against the world we'll battle with a vim and vigor that'll Startle everyone that knows not of Beloit. And when Time, low-bent and sage, shall have stricken us with 389. WVe will teach the little children on our knee, How to sing TVith a ring: Hail to thee, our own Beloit, all hail to thee. E411 THEC0DEX .fel ROY C. ANDREVVS, Cl. Beloit, Wis.

The heavens withheld their LNAZ' 7 usual Hoods and smiled instead of weeping at the 'I entrance of a new class. Right away their enterprise O' . . .sx l T459 it The whole community was delighted to welcome such 1 fist 1' 'Q and energy were shown, for, on the very day of registration the class was organized. That night old traditions were overturned by the posting of procs against the sophomores. XV hen they had recovered from their surprise the Sophs managed to get out a few trembling challenges to a cane rush which they dreaded, with reason. XV hat one of us can ever forget the march of the whole class down to the City Park, and then the furious, but victorious cane rush? That night the girls gave a reception, the first of the many jolly gatherings which have marked the life of our class. Only a few weeks later the class had a banquet, entirely concealing from the curious Sophomores both time and place. And yet again an ancient tradition was upset by having a Freshman banquet in peace and quiet. But it was not merely in having good times that our class surpassed in its Fresh- man yearg the faculty itself was astonished at the small number it could Hunk outf' The Sophomore year was no less glorious than the previous one. Re- membering their own Freshman year, they took immediate measures to subdue the large, but inefficient body of Freshmen. Between the time of the procla- mations to Freshmen and the end of the steeple-chasing, our class had thoroughly impressed its superiority upon the lower one. Success has marked all of our undertakings, from class parties-even on magic Hallowe'en-to plays. Of all the year's dramatics nothing was more popular or more creditably done than Kopnicker Strasse 12O, and its accomplishment was due to the activity and ability of the Sophomore German class. E571 EKEQTHE CGDEXCQSQE The class of 1907 has always had so many stars on the varsity teams that it has made little effort to rob other classes of the lesser distinctions in class athletics. In debating, our victories over Ripon and Carleton have kept up our high standard. In every line of college activity the members of our class have been welcome as sure to bring new life and spirit. Now at the beginning of our Junior year we find that a number of our most valued classmates are no longer with us. But we welcome our new members and feel that 1907 is still the old 1907, always equal to every emergency. Our college course has come at a most interesting time. It was when we had just entered college life that the corner-stone of the new gymna- sium was laid. VVe have had the pleasure of seeing it and the library both built. Our Sophomore year was marked by the opening of the Carnegie library, as Juniors we are under obligations to help guide aright the first Freshman class of Greater Beloit. Our graduation will be the sixtieth anniversary of the foundation of the college. Since we have seen at first hand so many of the significant dates in Beloit history we will hardly fail to appreciate the spirit of Greater Beloit, as we always have the old Beloit. But who, knowing the class of 1907, ever fears that it will fail in any duty to the Alma Mater? l58J HE CODEX Nineteen even Class Poem I. Gone is that glorious class of old, The class of culture true, Whose grace by every lip was told As rightly is their due. Some great renown has come to each, A few of them were called to preach, And lawyers great have made a name, And to Beloit have brought much fa.In6. II. This class was known to every one, Not all to pleasure given, But many times they had such fun, Old nineteen hundred seven. When any contest came in sight, They went right in-they did it right, When honor's roll was called at last, That class took honors thick and fast. III. Gone! is that glorious class you see, The class you've known before, The one that came in 1903, That dear old class of yore. Of many teachers could they boast, Their orators could make a toast, The shrewdness of their business men Is not surpassed and was not then. IV. Beloit pays honor to that class, Their memory she holds clear, Of stalwart youth and bonnie lass Fond memories still are near. No more within her halls shall sound The feet that other paths have found, And as the ages swiftly glide Beloit in her will have great pride.

Three years -- ' ' -,N hence when the diplomas shall be handed to the class of 1 579 X' 1008 and the latter set out into a world already admir- Q A ing their achievements, the class of '07 will Hush still x ' H 1 greener with envy and gradually come to realize that 74 56' I 'X 9.1 in the doings of the Freshmen, whom they once de- H I , spised and feared, there was a deeper significance than their Sophomore intelligence could fathom. Yet it is not too late, '07 may still see the truth, for that time is afar off. Now those who have helped make a name for Beloit College always did things, they confounded their class enemies and piled upvictories in scholarship, athletics, debating and oratory, they created new things and revived the old. Already '07 has seen the Freshmen do that much and dares not picture out their future. To prove this, let facts be submitted to a candid world. Un September 21, 1904, began the registration of a new Freshman class, over eighty in number. The Sophomores gasped in amazement and prepared for the worst. They got out some proclamations, but oh-such 6' Procs l Why even the Junior Preps. turned away their faces in shame from the fragments that '08 let remain on poles and sidewalks just to show people to what depths the unrestrained human mind can fall. Then a few days later the Sophs. screwed up enough courage to challenge '08 to a Cane Rush. XVhen the smoke of battle cleared away, they wished, like Rojestvensky, that they hadn't done it. Of that combat, full of stirring incidents and glorious as it was, much might be said, yet after all, yeni, vidi, vici is all '08 need say. It is a fact, however, that the Freshmen class had to get out a poster announcing that the Sophs. had ceased to exist, in order that people would not wonder what had become of them. After that events moved swiftly. October 31st dawned. About chapel time someone dropped the deadly word Banquet, and it spread like smallpox. As the shades of night fell, history was made faster and faster. A good deal has been done by '07 to throw a haze about the events of that day. It has been alleged that the Freshmen were out- witted and their plans for a banquet spoiled, while the Sophomores feasted in perfect security. Let us see. They did run off with the Freshman presi- dent, but strangely enough their own president also disappeared for the rest of the day. They did spoil '08's plans, only to give occasion for better ones. The Freshmen banquet was conveniently postponed and the time was so well devoted to the frustration of the Sophomore banquet that the latter reminded E791 CQSQETHECGDEXCQSQE one of the capital of Aguinaldo's republic in its desperate attempts to get located somewhere. The scheme for a fine time in town was completely smashed, but since some of the Sophs. woula' have a banquet they held a tardy affair at Rockton. But it lacked that sense of unity and completeness which was so enjoyed by the Freshmen when on March 17th they held the most suc- cesshd cohege banquetinfthe year There are other ways in which '08 has shown itself superior to the Sopho- more class-in the class and interclass track meets, by coming out ahead of '07 each time with a large score, and in the baseball game by winning 28 to 6. In all these events the zeal of class loyalty has shone most brightly. The members of the class are full of college spirit. Especially true is this of the '08 girls, who have always stood as a unit behind each class undertaking, whether it be a party, a debate, or a class game, and did their best to push the matter to a final success. Now, before closing, it is necessary to show in what activities 'OH has shared and what has been its contribution to them. In athletics it gave the rnaterkd for the nevv basketbaH.tearn xvhich luui so successful a season. It furnished several strong men to the football and baseball teams. The part it fdayed in.ciass garnes and track rneets has been runiced. It xvas '08 that introduced the system of giving class numerals to the most successful athletes. It was '08 also that gave the nucleus for a strong college orchestra. Indeed, to the choir, musical association and all the other departments of music it has lent no small amount of strength. Many of its men also became a strong element of force in the literary societies. And in the competitions of scholar- ship, '08 more than maintained the usual high standards. There is lastly one other achievement that must rank highest among 'O8,s deeds. This is the victory of the debating team over Lake Forest University. Since it was the Hrst annual debate between the Freshmen classes of the two colleges, and Lake Forest had always held a good reputation for strong debating, everybody realized that a victory lay only at the end of a long season of hard training. But the Freshmen members of the literary societies resolutely went to work upon their question and selected a team which was said by their coach to be the strongest Freshmen debating team in the history of Beloit College. The opposing teams of the two schools met, and although the ques- tion was well fought, none were surprised that the decision was quickly given to Beknt VV ith this our history for the year properly ends. In view of such a record the coming years are full of promise for the class of 1908, and as Sophomores they can enter upon a new year with hopes for greater things to come and the power to realize them as such. E801 THE CODEX Nineteen Eight Class Poem This is Beloit College Campus. The last warming glow of the sunset Falls on these temples of learning and lights up the thick standing oak trees, Falls like a blessing rare on this scene of our failures and triumphs. Soft blows the autumn wind and stirs the red clinging ivy, Rustles the dry brown leaves like the wandering spirit of summer. This is Beloit College Campusg but where are the brave naught eight Freshies, Young and free-hearted and gay, who have wandered along these bright pathways, Freshies whose lives flowed on like the bubbling brooks of the springtime, Blissfully happy withall notwithstanding the dreams and professors? Here they have romped and played and shocked her spectacled worship. Here they have struggled too and broken the pride of naught seven. Ye who believe that a chap should have all the fun that is going, Ye who believe in the college and 'look to us for its future, List to this gladsome tradition still sung by the oaks of the Campus, List to this Tale of Life as lived by the bright naught eight Freshies: On a day in last September, Oh, that day was fair and bright, Happened something you'll remember Till your hair has turned quite white. Naught eight Freshmen congregated In the registrar's big room. Then and there were implicated In the wretched Sophies doom. First the Sophies, bold, defiant, Posted just the cutest procs! Telling us to be more pliant Or we'd lose our little sox. This we rated hot air, boasting, Carried canes of course, you bet! Gave those Sophs a jolly roasting. They've recovered-not just yet. Then the Sophs grew quite delightful, Gave our boys some dandy rides. Freshies were'nt the least bit spiteful, Took it all and more besides. For sometime this went unchided, Soon the fun alarmed the Profs. Presently our Prex decided, Night air wasn't good for Sophs. 81 Heigh-ho! banquetward we next moved Sophies in their bed at nine, What a triumph that affair proved! Sophies should have been in line. From this on the fun was furious, Sleigh rides, parties, joy galore, Sophies waxed most awfully curious, Never heard the like before. Now, in other lines we're famous, We have orators sublime, We've debaters who've convinced us They are right most every time. Oh the muses have been beaming On the members of naught eight. Talent most abnormal seeming Has been crammed in each one's pate But, ah me, we now are older, Serious and dignified, We have burdens we must shoulder, Freshmen here whom we must guide Oh dear Freshies, we sh-all ever Pity you in your sad state: You can never, never, never, Be the class of nineteen eight. .

By way of announcing to the city of Beloit, and to the Sophomore class es- pecially, that we had arrived, one hundred and twenty-six strong, and as a pre- lude to the glorious achievements which have thus far been ours, on the morn- ing of September twentieth, nineteen hundred and five, throughout all Beloit there appeared flaming posters, announcing the fact in red letters. And fur- thermore, stating that if the Sophomores had recovered from the shock of our coming, sufliciently by the end of the week, there would be a public interment in the city park, when the Freshmen would use canes instead of spades, in at- tending to the obsequies over their rivals. ' Such foresight, such ambition, and furthermore, such numbers, were mani- fest among us even the Hrst day, that, in a way peculiar to the class of 1909, we were welcomed. It is a well known custom that all athletic and oratorical vic- tories won for the college are acknowledged by a bonfire, but it remained for the class of 1909, at the very outset of its career, to be thus honored, since by common consent it is believed the era of Greater Beloit, has begun. That this confidence was not placed in us in vain was plainly shown Friday afternoon, September twenty-second, when that memorable struggle, the Cane Rush, took place, which stamped indelibly on the minds of the spectators the superiority of 1909. With the Sophomore and Freshmen girls supporting their respective classes, there came the first daring onslaught. For twenty minutes the wildest confusion reigned. With pulling, pushing and struggling the fierce conflict was gallantly fought. While the Freshmen laid on the six canes, the Sophomores tried in vain to seize the historic weapons. When time was called there was undisputed victory for the Freshmen. One cane only had been broken, and the supremacy of 1909 was still manifest to all. In view of the great victory won, the young ladies of the class appointed September twenty- third as a time when we might meet for general rejoicing. Accordingly on Saturday evening one of the members opened her home to the class, thus affording a delightful opportunity for all to become acquainted. And so, inspired by the successes already won, and with high hopes for the future, and earnest desire that our class shall be the largest in every respect that ever entered Beloit, we have begun our Freshman year. Then when the goal attained to has been reached, and as Seniors we are about to leave our Alma Mater, it is our desire to go out, as we have come in, with waving ban- ners and a record which is clean and pure. Then, and now, the class of 1909. class of 1909.

We're here to honor Alma Mater, We're here to add more fair renown Bring new glory and new honor To our school and to our town. When at last our course is ended, And our worth approved by time, Far and near will sound the praises Of the class of nineteen nine. E361 T-HE-C0DEX The Making of Greater Beloitu REJOICING throng is gathered upon the Beloit campus. 'n f fi. The leaping fiames of a bonfire sing a song of triumph, exulting in the victory of a new idea. Students and w people of the town join in cheers as a tall, dignified man comes forward to address. them. Simply and earnestly he speaks of the significance of the day's ' achievement and shows the large and inspiring promise of the new era upon which the college is entering. His hearers listen spell-bound to the man who has made Beloit College what it is. When he points to the oldest building on the campus and then to the banner fioating in the night breeze far above, love and loyalty bring a thrill of pride to the hearts of many who hold old Middle College and what it stands for second only to their country's fiag and what it stands for. In simple words the speaker sets forth a noble truth,- Above the college, the Hag, and above the flag, the stars. That celebration under September skies is memorable only as it marks the beginning of a movement destined to grow and to triumph. The new idea is really as old as the college itself g .for many years the trustees and alumni have felt that Beloit ought to have more students, that an effort should be made to swell the number of young men and women who enjoy the privileges and opportunities of its college life. It remained for the undergraduates them- selves to organize and conduct an enthusiastic campaign for new students with a definite aim in view. The campaign of 1905 centered about the effort to secure one hundred Freshmen in the class of 1909. To all the undertaking seemed a large one, to many it seemed utterly impossible. But few things are impossible when the old Beloit spirit l' is thoroughly aroused. During the summer many a student and alumnus worked with untiring zeal. The trustees supplied without stint the needed funds for the campaign, and friends of the college who could do no more sent ringing messages of encouragement and good cheer. The plan was at best merely an experiment, a theory, and many a mistake was made and many an opportunity discovered just too late. Yet a kindly Providence seemed to favor the movement from the start. From E37 1 CQ3y9THEcoD'EX' the Atlantic coast to the shores of the Pacific new students began to send in inquiries and applications to Beloit. Before the sun had set upon registration day a great victory had been won, for one hundred and twenty-six Freshmen had enrolled. , A W ,V Many thoughtful friends of Beloit, remembering well its splendid influence in the days of smaller numbers, have asked solicitously to what this matter may grow. It should be said at once that those who have-at heart the best interests of Beloit College do not wish to see it grow into a' great university, nor even into a college so large that the advantages which it today possesses will be lost. But Beloit may increase its present enrollment 'by one-half of more without losing that precious individual association of each student with his fellow students and with every member ,of the faculty, which is the unique advantage of the small college. Many a student and alumnus must work faith- fully and loyally before Beloit can reach her numerical ideal, many a strenuous summer campaign is still to be waged before that victory will be won. The flames of the bonfire are dying down. Other speakers have expressed their loyalty and joy, and ringing cheers and college songs have filled the air. Slowly the crowd breaks into little groups and the students turn away from the gay celebration to a year of work and study, casting lingering glances at the pile of glowing embers on the bare spot that never grows green. In each heart is the conviction that the greatest glory of Beloit is in its future, not in its past. Men may come and do their work and pass on, but the spirit of the college is immortal. In loyalty and reverence for the traditions of the past, with pride and joy in the glories of the present, with courage and enthusiasm and high resolve for the future, the sons and daughters of our Alma Mater will press forward to a splendid achievement-the making of the Greater Beloit.

Instead of 'B depending on the surveillance of instructors or proctors O5 . .

For eighteen years after the opening of the institution in 1825 the system met with varying success. Ifsjviit de corps was not lacking and cheat- ing in examinations was always frowned upong but, as in war it is necessary that a blockade be effectual before the nations generally will respect it, so here it proved necessary that the students' sense of honor be reinforced by some con- ventional mode of expressing and enforcing it. ln l8-l2 Judge Tucker, Professor of Law, offered a resolution which the Faculty adopted, providing that each student at the end of each examination be required to sign a statement to the effect that he had received no aid in connection with the ordeal. Later this was changed to mean that he had neither received nor given aid. The system has been operated since that time without interruption. Its wisdom and its bene- ticial results have been abundantly demonstrated, we are told. Violations of examination pledges have been of rare occurrence. ln every case the culprit has been quietly but promptly eliminated without need of Faculty action. Wie need not here inquire into their method of procedure. Xliriting for SC'l'l'fJ1lL7l'iS lllczgrz.c'1'11i' for April, 1905, Thomas Nelson Page boasts ,, of the honor system as one of the most admirable and distinctive teachings of the University of Virginia. In the development of the institution this prin- 51181 :- CQSLCETHE CODEXCQSQE ciple has taken a commanding place as the fruit and product of the high con- ception in which the institution was founded .... Founded upon the prin- ciple of the recognition of honor among gentlemen, it throws them upon their honor. and thus fosters and establishes it in them. lt is impossible to give too much importance to this feature. lt so permeates the life of the instiution that no student can enter its classic precincts and not feel it sensibly. The system has been adopted in many southern institutions, and its effects are discernible throughout the whole South. Perhaps because many Virginia youths attend Princeton University and some prominent members of the Princeton faculty are southerners, the honor system was adopted by the students, faculty and trustees of that institution as long ago as the fall of 1892 and it almost immediately became a feature of Princeton student life. It has been in successful operation there ever since, and has been interpreted to apply to the entrance examinations to the university as well as to the examinations of admitted students. As many as Eve students have been dis- missed at one time by the faculty upon recommendation of the students' Honor Committee. Practically all the offenders against the spirit and letter of the system are either freshmen or advanced students who have just been admitted to the university from other institutions. The Princeton system has been commented upon from time to time by the public press. At the time spoken of when five freshmen were dismissed the newspapers of many of the large cities in the country had leading articles and editorials on the system and, as an evi- dence that it meets the approval of people generally as soon as they come to understand its workings, let it be said that the papers nearly always commended it and complimented Princeton University upon it. Since 1893 this method of conducting examinations has been adopted in one form or another by many northern institutions. It has not always operated successfully. In some cases it has been tried and abandoned. As a rule, however, it has proven a blessing to the life of colleges, and some universities. It is not apt to operate successfully in universities where there exists no close solidarity of student life, where there are large masses of students who do not know each other, or where the sentiment of honor in such matters is weak. In Beloit College an honor system of conducting examinations was first adopted in 1899, and its value in toning up the sentiment of the college in the matter of cheating and indeed in the whole matter of intellectual integrity was at once apparent. Although there has never been as much dishonesty in examina- tions under the honor system as in the years immediately preceding its adoption, it has been necessary to revise and rerevise its constitution in order to give it its most workable and effective form. Under the present constitution the students elect an investigating committee of eight members whose function it is to ex- amine into all rumors and charges of dishonesty of this kind, a single clear case 51191 CQ9QZ9THECODEXCiSLCE of cheating being ground for recommendation to the faculty that the offender be dismissed from college. Such recommendations must be made to the faculty through the Dean and with his sanction, and where these conditions are fulfilled the faculty stand ready to adopt the recommendation of the students' Honor Committee. Such a system cannot be established by the faculty of a college. It must start with the students themselves, its ultimate basis being the sentiment of honor in their minds. Nothing in the world ever has or ever will effectively prevent cheating in large bodies of college students except an organized sentiment of honor among them such as this. The method of conducting examinations under the superintendence of vigilant instructors or proctors has everywhere and al- ways failed to prevent it. For a great many students the presence of a faculty representative acting as watcher in the examination room is all the excuse their consciences demand for cheating. Before travelers from foreign countries land in New York they are required to declare under oath the contents of their bag- gage. After they have landed their baggage is all searched to ascertain whether they have in this particular instance lied and perjured themselve. Under such treatment many feel challenged to outwit the customhouse officials if they can. Wlietlier a man is honest or not, he is treated as a liar. Quite similar is the effect of the proctoring system of examinations on the minds of many students. The lazy men who are sharp witted, the adventurous and less sensitive, and all who look upon examinations as a piece of official red tape invented for their discomfort, feel, when a procto-r is placed over them, that they are challenged to a battle of wits, and cheat witho-ut conscience. The honor system is a method of self government under which every student feels bound to note and report to his fellow students Qnot to the facultyj any irregularity on the part of a fellow student in examination. The students' honor system constitution, devised and adopted by them, provides the method by which such charges shall be investi- gated. The condemnation or acquittal comes from them. Upon their recom- mendation a student convicted of the offense is dismissed by th'e authorities of the institution. He is dismissed as one who has violated the honor of the college and broken the understandings of the college community. In the atmosphere of the honor system offenses have grown very rare in many institutions of the country and practically never escape detection. The students learn to avoid all appearance of cheating and cooperate in all ways in making cheating impossible. Thus they vindicate the pride they take in the institution of their choice. Thus they support by truly democratic methods the aims and the order of the littlle society of which they are a part. Thus they build memories for the future which as the years go on will become increasingly precious. 51201 H E CO-DWEX L1211 Musical Association Officers A. G. WILSON .... JEANETTE SAYRE ....

Before she arrives in the city she has been told something of the work, and arrangements have been made whereby she is to be met at the 51371 ' T-HECODEX train by one of the membership committee. Not only is she met and taken to her boarding-place by this girl, but someone is ready to see that she has no difficulty in registering or finding her way to first recitations. That she may be given an op- portunity to meet all the women in college, the Association gives a reception for the new girls on the evening of the first Friday of the term. Usually it is there that she first comes to feel that she is really one of the Beloit girls and that the task of learning to know all of them is not an impossible one. On the first Sunday, each Freshman girl is taken by one of the older girls to the Association meeting at 9:45, and, afterward to the morning service of the church which she prefers to attend. Not only during the morning is the new girl cared for, but, all through the day, every effort is made to brighten what is apt, for the lonely, homesick girl, to be the hardest day of the year, and, before night-fall, she is quite sure to think-if she has not already done so-that an association which can bring forth the sweet thoughtfulness which has smoothed for her nearly all the hard places of the new life is very much worth while and wholly worthy of her support. The joint Reception, given by the Y. M. and Y. W. C. A. furnishes to the new student the opportunity for early coming in touch with the college as a whole, and is only one more instance of the frequent efforts of the social committee to give to everyone the privilege of getting away from her work for a short time and meet- ing her fellow-students in a social way. Early in the year, the work of the Bible Study and Mission classes is presented, and a canvass made preparatory to the organization of the classes. The Bible Study courses are so arranged that they form an ideal system for definite, daily work during the four years of a college girl's work. So intensely interesting and suggestive are the studies that a weekly meeting of each separate circle is held to discuss the prob- lems and ideas which they bring to the girls. It is in these meetings thati Y. W. C. A. comes to have the deepest meaning for its members, and the inspiration and fel- lowship found there are the infiuences which, more than any others of the college years, are to be effective in a girl's whole after-life. Such great benefit has been derived from the Summer Student Conference by the girls who have attended it that they are all filled with tlhe desire to have some other girl share the privilege. The result of this enthusiasm is readily seen in the work of one of the busiest committees in the Association--tfhe Conference Commit- tee-which every year sends one of the largest college delegations found at the Con- ference. The Association feels that it has so much to both to give and to gain from each girl in college that it feels justified in making an effort to enroll every Beloit girl in its membership. Our Y. W. C. A. enables us to find the best things in the best lives among the college women. It brings a realization of a college woman's obligation to the world. It inculcates habits of earnest, systematic Bible Study and makes prayer a real thing. It puts us into union with the student body of the world in the world's greatest enterprise. A. M.

T Y' 1 ATE one afternoon Father Thiebault slowly and thoughtfully As ,H pushed his canoe through the weedy outlet of Lake Kosh- '5 konong into the Rock River. He had made his way south- M -U X, , wx 1' , ,il ward from the mission at Green.Bay and had wandered , along the Fox River valley looking for a suitable place ,., . ,, , all peace. At Portage he had fallen in with Father LeBret,who had told him that the tribe of the Pottawatomies in the southern part of the Great Territory were friendly to the white traders and that there perhaps he might find a place suita- ble for a mission. Father Thiebault had also learned that but a few miles south was another and more powerful tribe-the Wfinnebagoes. He wondered if the influence of a mission here might not be more wide-spread than in the smaller and less infiuential tribe of the Pottawatomies. But Gray Vlfolf, chief of the XVinnebagoes, was said to be very unfriendly to the white man. Rideau, the half-breed trader who had gone southward from Lay-e-hee--dah, the Potta- watomie village at the mouth of the Yahara, had never been heard from, but Gray NVolf shortly after had smoked the pipe of peace with White Crow, the Pottawatomie chief, wrapped in a blanket which Rireau had offered in ex- change for the skins of the beaver. Yet Father Thiebault felt that there was need of his presence among these tribes. As his canoe passed down the stream, he caught glimpses of open prairie rolling away on either side, wave on wave to the horizon, its billowy lines broken here and there by stately for- ests. On either side of the river were bluffs covered with woodland or luxur- ious tangle vegetable growth. The white man will soon be coming to establish for himself a home in these lands, he mused, and then there will be war and bloodshed between him and his red brother. It would be well for some one to come to dwell among the Pottawatomies and the Winnebagoes and teach them the ways of peace and brotherly love ere the white man comes. If one deals honestly and dwells uprightly among them, they need not feel distrust or ani- mosity toward the pioneers that may settle on their land. I will be the one who will open the way for them. And looking forward to his life among his chosen people, Father Thiebault paddled the faster. He had been traveling for many days and was weary of his journey. among the Indians where he might preach the gospel of The sun slowly sank in a golden glow, throwing soft radiant lights across the surface of the water, quivering in its sheen of crimson and purple and gold. except that here and there a dark shadow fell athwart its gleaming surface. 51771 THEC0DEX Gradually the colors faded away leaving in their stead only the grayish dark depth of the encircling waters. The stars came out clearly above, but the even- ing mist slowly crept to the waters edge. Father Thiebault felt its chill and began casting about for a place to camp for the night. Suddenly he caught sight of a light gleaming through the mist. As he watched it flicker and fall he thought, It is an Indian camp fire! And that-that must be the mouth of the Yahara. I have come farther than I thought, pondering here in the dark- ness. Providence, it seems, has solved my problem for me. I must win the Winnebagoes if I can, but henceforth my lot shall be case at Tay-e-hee-dah, the village of the Pottawatomiesf' II. One afternoon, the autumn after Father Thiebault had come to dwell at Tay-e-hee-dah, his neighbors, the Winnebagoes,had assembled with their chief, Gray XVolf, at the sacred burial place of their fathers. This spot was a little above the NVinnebago village, overlooking the river. Scattered about on the bluff that rose from the river were many mounds, sacred to the memory of their forefathers. To the left was a large circle of ground from which the turf was worn away, leaving only the bare, hard trodden earth. Upon this spot for many generations, at their festal times, the Winnebagoes had played their games of ball and quoits g had displayed their Heetness of foot or bodily strength, here they had kindled their fires of victory and had leaped and whirled in their mad war-dance, shouting aloud their glorious deeds to the spirits of their dead sachems which abode there. At the right, at the top of a rise of ground, was a mound, shaped in the form of the sacred totem of their tribe, the turtle. It was here that Gray Wolf had called his people together for counsel. They sat in a solemn circle, silently smoking their pipes, Gray NVolf occupying the place of honor nearest the sacred image. After a time Gray Wfolf solemnly rose, his well-shaped head capped with eagles' feathers, his little powerful figure, draped in the scarlet blanket, standing out distinctly against the dull autumnal greens and reds of the surrounding oaks. My people, he began, I have called you together not only to do honor to the Spirit of the Great Turtle, but that we may also consider our neighbors, the Pottawatomies. For many long moons our tribe has quarreled and wran- gled with its neighbors for the supremacy of the land of the turtle. There is not room for us both to hunt in the same forest, to Hsh in the same river, and dwell together upon the same inheritance. In war and bloodshed many of our brave sachems have been killed by the tribe at the mouth of the Yahara. Now they have let the white man come among them. Silver Crow calls him brother, and his people call him Great Heart. He has set up his lodge among them. He sends away their medicine man g he gives them herbs l 178.1 MES THE C'O'D-BX team which they know not 3 he takes away their spirit and they become weak like squaws. But upon us he has cast his evil eyeg he has caused the river to lower in its banks, and from it he has made to rise up the pestilential vapors which give us the fever, he has caused the blight to come upon the corn, so that we have not enough to keep us when the snows come. But more than all, he has killed the creature sacred to the Nwfinnebagoes, even the turtle, and has offered it to Silver Crow to eat of it. XVe have demanded that Silver Crow send away the white man, but he has lied to us concerning him and laughed to scorn the anger of the W'innebagoes. Now, my braves, let us endure it no longer. Let us destroy the white man who has brought these evils upon us and expel the Pottawatomies forever from the land which is ours ! XVith a sweep of his arm, Gray Wolf concluded. His face resumed its stolid expression as he took his place in the circle. The faces around him ex- pressed no emotion, but presently T aya, the oldest man of the tribe, arose and said gravely: VVhat our chief says is good. The spirit of the Great Turtle. pointing to the mound, will give us the victory in revenge for its desecra- tion. NVe must indeed have more corn for the winter. Already the after-sum- mer is almost past. The cobwebs no longer flit like fireflies through the sun- shine, and the wind grows chill at night. Then let us hasten and before four suns have passed, let us fall upon our enemies, take away their horses and corn, and show to the white man the power of the Spirit of the Turtle, totem ot the Winnebagoes I III. Father T hiebault was lying wounded in the lodge of Gray Wolf, with his feet bound together. I-Ie scarcely realized where he was, so confusing had been the events of the last few hours. In the quiet of the lodge he tried to recall the happenings of the day, and his mind especially dwelt upon the letter he had been writing to Father LeBret but a few hours before. The concluding lines especially were in his mind: Thanks to your directions, dear brother of the faith, I found my way to this tribe, where I have lived so happily these last few months. I have tried to sow good seed patiently and well as the spring days have glided into summer, and summer has ripened into autumn. I, too, together with my sons of the wilderness, soon hope to reap the fruits of my toil. Already the spirit of love and brotherly kindness has sprung up in their hearts, and in loving recognition they call me ' Brother, and ' Great I-Ieart.' Among the Pottawatomies the outlook is promising, but my heart goes out also in large measure to the Wfinnebagoes farther south. I had hoped to reach them through our little mission at Tay-e-hee-dah, but the Great Spirit has not willed it so, for they still remain distant and haughty. Silver Crow's messengers have brought him tidings of war-like preparations, but I appre- hendin IZ179 I esowfrnr CODEXQQQQLE At this point Father Thiebault had been interrupted by a commotion in the camp. He found the village thrown into confussion by the news that the XVinnebagoes were advancing upon them. The Pottawatomies had hastened to prepare their weapons and adorn themselves with war-paint. He had come upon Silver Crow applying to his face great streaks of yellow ochre. Is this the way the children of Silver Crow dwell in peace with their neighbors P he asked. Brother, responded the chief, Gray Wolf is angry at me and my people and we must defend ourselves against him. Is it not so? And Father Thiebault had been forced to say yes and walk sadly away. He could scarcely remember what happened then. He knew the warriors had left the camp to meet the enemy and he had gone with them. There had come the rush and turmoil of the battle, the whiz of arrows, the savage shouts and war-cries, the sight of malignant faces and cruel deeds. Suddenly darkness had come, and when it had become light again he found himself in Gray XVolf's lodge, wounded and bound. He was weak from loss of blood and his wound pained him greatly. His strength failed him when he attempted to rise and he fell back, faint and dizzy. He could hear the crack- ling of a fire outside, and the sound of hurrying to and fro, of shouts and of the beating of tom-toms. Ah, he thought, the fires of victory and the war dance over the death of my poor children of the wilderness. The flap of the tent opened and a tall figure stooped to enter. He saw that it was Gray VVolf and he heard in mocking tones: Ah, Great Heart of the Pottawatomies, so this is the way you enter the lodge of the Winnebago chief. Coming nearer his prisoner, he continued, What can the spell of the Evil Eye and the poisonous herbs avail you now? It is Gray Wolf who has you in his power, and it is the Spirit of the Great Turtle who has revenged himself on the enemies of his tribe ! Father Thiebault replied mildly, There is but one Great Spirit, and that spirit is not thirsty for revenge ! And he held out his crucifix as he spoke. Gray Vtfolf laughed scornfully. Yes, it is you, the white man, that wish us to believe in the Great Spirit, so that they may the more easily take our lands. But they never shall. The Spirit of the Great Turtle has this day prevailed, as shall the red man over those who come to drive him away from his inheritance! These last words stung the little priest. Raising himself he said, with vehemence, My brother, I have not come among you to destroy your worship and take away your lands, but to give you a new and better spirit and a sense of brotherly love. The Spirit of the Great Turtle may seem to have overcome this day, but mark you this, Gray Wolf, unless you accept the presence of the white man in friendliness and brotherhood and accept his Great Spirit as your guide, in fifty years the pale-face will possess the land of the Sacs, of the Pottawatomies, yea, even that of Gray Wolf, chief of the Winnebagoes! fisoj QPQETHECODEXESQQE Exhausted by the effort, Father Thiebault fell back, white and still. Gray Wolf was silent a moment and then said proudly and defiantly: Oh, medi- cine man of the white chiefs, your words are earnest and fly like winged ar- rows. But the land and tribe of the Wiiiiiebagoes has been since the early dawning of time, and will be as long as this river runs its course. Let it be as many as seventy times twelve moons after my spirit has departed for the Happy Hunting Grounds, if it should return to the Land of the Turtle, it will still flnd the tribe of NVinnebagoes on its inheritance l VVith a gesture of dehance he strode quickly out. Father T hiebault lay very still. He could not hear the shouting now and the camp was strangely quiet. He felt that his life was ebbing away. It was darkening all about him. Joy of Mary, he murmured, Thou wilt believe that I tried to win them-but my hand was not strong to guide in the strange new path and to soften their proud hearts. Perhaps I was not the chosen instrument. My children at the mouth of the Yahara! They will wander in the darkness! NVilt thou keep them and lead them and remember that thou saidst- The voice ceased and Father Thiebault fell into his final sleep. Gray VVolf had left the tent in great anger. Abruptly stopping the danc- ing, he wandered out alone beyond the farthest sentries. He stopped under a large oak to reflect upon the impression which the words of the little priest made upon him. They lingered with him and rang in his ears. If the words were true, but they were not, could not be. He was gone a long time and when his braves went in search of him, they found him at the foot of the tree, lying face downward, with an arrow through his heart. Amid great mourn- ing of his people, three days later they buried him in the sacred burying ground. It is said that late that night the camp was startled by a howl, loud, mournful and prolonged, just outside the circle of lodges. Several Indians rushed out toward the new-made grave from which the sound seemed to come. There was no sign of the marauder, but a sharp-eyed young brave detected the form of a gray wolf stealthily retreating from the grave into the shadowsof the undergrowth. It is a gray wolf V' he exclaimed, and then added in a hushed undertone, It goes to bear to the Happy Hunting Grounds the soul of the chief of the Winnebagoes! IV. It was a hazy afternoon in late autumn many years after the day when Gray Wolf had gathered his people together for council. As then, the shim- mering lines of cobweb were floating in the air like threads of silken floss. The reds, greens and browns of the oaks were beginning to fade to a dull russet. The river was flowing peacefully by the spot where the rem- nants of the former tribes had lain for many years at rest. The grassy mounds still lay scattered about the place, and still the outlines of the turtle were visi- 51813 CQSQETHE CODEXCQSJQE ble on the crest of the hill. As the long shadows were beginning to fall across the grass, the lean, gaunt, shadowy form of a gray wolf crept up from the river bank, skirted a row of buildings, and made its way to the mound of the Sacred Turtle, crouching in the shrubbery. It was the spirit of Gray Wolf returning from the Happy Hunting Grounds after more than seventy times twelve moons, to see if his forefathers still slept peacefully and the NVinneba- goes yet dwelt in the Land of the Turtle. With satisfaction he noted that the mounds were stillfintact, especially that of the Sacred Totem, but the spirit of the great chief rose in rebellion and he gnashed his teeth as he saw that the white man had built his lodges all about the sacred burial place. Among the thickest of the mounds he had built them of sand and lime, of yellow brick and limestone. The Sacred Turtle lay sprawled at the very foot of them. A feeling of awe came over the spirit of Gray Wolf-a dread that the words of the pale faced little father might come to pass after these many moons! But he would still see if the spot were bare of turf where the Wiiinebagoes had for time immemorial kindled fires of victory. He crept around the central build- ing. The spot was still there. The supremacy of the paleface could not be so long established. His sharp eyes discerned foot-prints in the ground. But it was not the rounded outlines of the bare foot of a Sac or VVinnebago. It was broad and Hat with the indent of a sharp heel planted firmly in the earth. Gray XVolf turned away. Then the little father was right. The white man had possession of his inheritance, the inheritance of his people, the Winneba- goes! But they should not conquer! The spirit of Gray Wolf would move among the remaining tribes, would whisper in their ears old grievances, old contentions, new plots! It would kindle their spirits. But a new sound came to the ear of the Gray Wolf, a sound not heard in former days. In the hush of the afternoon's quiet the chiming of a bell resounded, rhythmical, loud and deep. As if in answer to the summons, signs of life became visible in all directions. Pale-faced youths emerged from the lodges of brick and stone and hastened with decorous step. Some wore garments not unlike the one which the father had worn that fatal day. A chill came over the spirit of Gray XVolf. A band of pale-faced maidens passed close by his hiding place on their way to the lodge of gray limestone, at the summit of whose sweeping lines was a tower in which the bell was tolling. As the last one entered, the bell ceased and Gray NVolf was left alone. He could hear the solemn tones of some instrument, which seemed to fill his heart with sadness, as the sound thundered along, carrying the voices with it. Then came a long silence and the hush of the late afternoon again fell over the place. The atmosphere seemed to breathe a spirit which gave the spirit of Gray Wolf a saddening sense of defeat and a new longing for, he knew not what. They are very still in the lofty lodge, he thought. Perhaps their white father is talking with his 51823 THEC0DEX children, or perhaps the Great Spirit is holding his wings over them. The shadows grew longer. The wind became more chill. It rustled the leaves restlessly about as it sighed through the trees. The sun sank from sight behind the forest on the farther side of the river. The bell tolled out once through the gathering gloom. Gray NVolf stood quiet, his soul sorrowing for his lost people. Then he turned his face from the land of the VVinnebagoes and went slowly back toward the big hill looming in the distance. The spirit of Gray Wolf was returning to the Happy Hunting Grounds. Irma M.

One day a wanderer, weary of his way On such a mound his weary bones did lay. He fell asleep, and this is what he dreamed: It was a sunny day in spring, him-seemed, The virgin forest rose on every side, The Rock upon his murmuring way did glide, The brooklets ran, the happy birds did sing, A blithesome day, in a primeval spring. And lo! afar, beside the ancient wood Twelve stalwart, arrowy Indian warriors stood. Forward they came with slow and solemn tread, Their hands beside them, and low-bowed the head. Upon their backs a precious load they bore, An ancient chieftain, who would fight no more. Onward advanced they without stop or stay, Right to the spot where our poor wanderer lay. And now they see him! and the twelve like one, Depose their burden and upon him run. Twelve shinning knives above him glist and gleam, Twelve grinning Indians round him dance and scream Twelve bloody tomahawks are raised on high. Doomed! helpless wanderer, like a dog to die! Twelve deadly weapons sink into his brain, And with one awful shriek he wakes amain. And lo! before him stood a single foe, With arm uplift to strike a second blow. 'Twas Peppery John, enraged to the till. Go on away, he cried, get off my hill. For one whole day I worked to build that mound, To smooth it off and strew the seeds around, For one whole day I carted dirt and stones. And now you've spoilt it all, you lazy-bones. -i- The good man rose, and smiled a juicy smile. I saw twelve Indians coming in a pile, And find but one, armed with a rake and hoe. Ha, ha, good-bye, he said, seeing I must go. He went a. rod, then strangely shook his head, Shook it again, and stopped, and smiled, and said: I knew that there were Indians on the grounds, But didn't know they still were making mounds. C. H.

A It is true that in my pursuit of the unexpected and the unusual I have endured many hardships and not a few privations, yet I have never considered them misfortunes. One who has never experienced the disagreeable can scarce appreciate the agreeable. The reader has doubtless already guessed that I am a philosopher in a small way. Since childhood I have interested myself in the study of the human mind and in man- kind I have found my textbook. It is in my search for knowledge along psychological lines that I have occasionally made interesting discoveries. The genus professor, in the eyes of the average student, leads a staid existence, utterly unbroken in its monotony. To my enlightened fancy even a Beloit College professor might encounter an adventureg equally strange things have happened. That you may admit the possibility, I tell the following otherwise uninteresting tale: It was one Sunday evening in November that I found myself in a northern suburb of Chicago with nothing but a stray dime and an anxiety to reach Beloit in time for my Monday classes. A policeman, with an interest in my affairs greatly in excess of my share in his, prevented my boarding the early train as I planned and I found upon inquiry that I should have to wait until after midnight for another opportunity The prospect was not pleasing, even to a philosopher like myself. A cold wind drove great clouds of dust swirling about the station platformg there was a hint of snow in the air. The agent locked up for the night and I heard him step briskly off toward home. Every place of business was closed and the town was dark. My virgil promised to be a cold and lonely one. I turned up my coat collar and huddled in the lee of a sheltering wing of the building. I lighted a cigarette, and as I smoked my usual philosophic calm returnedg I reflected that no man could be in a very bad way as long as he had good tobacco for a solace. I must have fallen asleep eventually, for I started up with the glare of the headlight in my eyes and the hoarse pant of the engine in my ears. I noted with satisfaction that the forward end of the baggage car had no door, and slipped up the track for fifty yards or sog as the tender passed me I caught the stair rail and swung aboard. A fellow traveler had already ensconced himself with his back against the car and his feet braced against the stanchionsg though a soft felt hat was draawn well down over his eyes and a turned up collar covered the remainder of his face, it struck me he had a familiar air. The roar of the train forbad conversation and I settled myself as com- fortably as possible. The night was black. The whirling currents of air resulting from 51893 THE CODEX the combined force of the wind and the draft caused by the rapidly moving train were diabolical in the persistence with which they sought out crevices in my clothing. A small hurricane managed constantly to interpose itself between my neck and my collar. Fine flakes of snow filled the wrinkles in my coat and melted as they struck the exposed tip of my nose in proof that it was not yet frozen. My companion maintained an absolute silence nor voucnsafed me so much as a glance. A prolonged screach from the whistle announced a station and I leaned out to note upon which side of the track it lay. Seeing no light on my side of the track I slipped down on the steps ready to jump off as the train slowed up. My fellow traveler seemed to know the game for he followed quickly. In the light cast by the open fire box of the engine I noticed that he wore a small oddly tinted beard and possessed a singularly open and childlike expression of countenance. He was tall and appeared to possess considerable dignity or rather to be capable of that impression. His anxiety as he peeked around the corner of the car in an effort to ascertain the whereabouts of the brakeman and the speed with which he stowed himself under the trucks, when he discerned the approach of that worthy, being anything but dignified. Indeed I could not but smile at the spectacle he presented. The idea of an otherwise dignified gentle- man, who appeared to be well along toward the placidity of middle age, hiding from a train crew, in order that he might steal a ride, struck me as highly incongruous. At the next station I rolled a cigarette and by sitting on the toolbox of the tender, with my feet resting on the baggage car platform, I found that I could smoke in com- parative comfort, being reasonably protected from the wind. My silent companion eyed my Cigarette with apparent interest and when we stopped again I made bold to break the conversational ice by remarking: Tobacco is a cure for most discomforts, is it not. It is simply a question of values, he replied dreamily, but, with considerably more animation, I'll be glad to borrow the makin's on this occasion. I complied with alacrity and he displayed that facility in handling the materials which comes only with long practice. As the train moved on we sat side by side on the toolbox, the proximity of our bodies contributing much to our mutual warmth. We were ascending a slight grade not more than a couple of miles outside of Beloit when, with a sudden jarring snap, the baggage car began to recede and the engine and tender took on new speed. We all but lost our seats when our footrest was thus removed, but managed to cling to the tender. Q!! Good Lord! The train has broken in two, ejaculated my companion. Correct, said I, and it is up to us to disappear before they nail us. It'll be the pen for us if we are caught. Why, how's that? in sudden alarm. We'll be up for breaking the train, you idiot. Now jump, quick! We leapt into the murky blackness. I struck the embankment, rolled over a time or two and picked myself up unhurt. I called to my friend. He quickly joined me and though not seriously injured had numerous bruises and a nasty cut from barb wire in one hand. We started out across the fields for home, and as the cold gray light of the morning began to dispel the night we reached the college campus. ' Once in my room I set my alarm for 8:30 and threw myself on the bed. At 8:45 I took my seat in the class room. The professor who sat at the desk wore a bandage on his hand and a, singularly open and childlike expression, somewhat marred by a bruilc over his left eye. 51901 H - THECODEXQME is Unconventional M PRINCIPAL CIIARACTICRS :MISS K.-An unconventional young lady.

G.M E 07 51931 CQQQETHE CGDEXCQSQE A Freshman TIICHIC lWe hope that the following Freshman theme will be of inter- est to the many generations of students and Alumni who have in their first college year written the required essay on the old but ever new subject of WhyI Came to Beloit and the Benefits I Expect to Derive. 1 1 Y recalled I have heard my father tall about Beloit 4? A long while ago somebody told him that the boys didnt smoke here, and ever since then Ive known I qv? ,N Q r. , U gg i' was coming to Beloit. I've forgotten who gave father CE the days of my youth-days long past and fondly I In - C i ' I ' . V . . , his information, but I think it was a professor named E. G. Smith. He said he would not be connected with an institution where anybody smoked, and father said he didn't want me to be either. T hat's one resemblance between E. G. and me. That name Smith is a great name in Beloit. It was Smith who made me agree to father's dicision-China Smith this was. I don't know why they call him China. I can't see how that has any thing to do with the number of words you can talk off in a second, but I suppose it has. Anyhow China told me a whole lot of things about Beloit. He said it was beautifully sit- uated on a superbly picturesque part of the Rock. He told me I could swim and row and skate. Father told me I couldn't, but now I'm in Beloit, I think I'll mind China, He said I wanted culture physically, mentally and morally and that Beloit was the place to get it. He was all right about the physical part of it. I had all I wanted of that in the cane-rush the other day. I think I'm about ali right mentally, and after I've written five themes a week for the rest of the semester, I'll be worse off morally than I was when I came here. But China did a fine thing for Beloit, getting all us Freshmen here, so it doesn't matter if he did make a little mistake on that mental and moral business. But there's one man here who never makes a mistake. lf all important people in Beloit are named Smith, I think there was a mistake somewhere 51941 CQSQETHE CODEXQQSEM when he got the name of Snyder. Maybe his mother's name was Smith. If I can get to be part of the faculty like he is, I guess father will be pretty glad. Franklyn B. said his father seemed glad. I wish I had a lyn B. on my name. That would be better than an ofhcial B. An official B is what the football men wear. I've been wearing a collar button lately, and by and by I'm going to wear a green and white band on my hat. They are about as good -as an official B. I've been waiting for the football team to rush me. I'd like to join them because they have a reception every day, but if they don't hurry up I'll join a debating society. I wish there were girls in the debating societies. I wasn't much used to girls at home, but they seem nice. Some of the boys talk to them a great deal in the library. I wish I could be like that Senior who gives the girls such a good time. I heard a girl say the other day, Oh I just love Roy. He does all the talking. I'm going to learn to talk if I can. I think I'm going to get along all right if I can only keep up till matri- culation. Matriculation is a word derived from the Latin mater and mater means mother. Matriculation decides whether you go home to mother or not. If I don't have to go there's just one more benefit I'm ex- pecting to derive, and that's a beard. I didn't know how handsome they made a fellow look until I saw Prof. Tawney. I'm going to wait until next year for that, because if I should add all the benefits this year, father wouldn't see any use in sending me back next fall. -if? .-G 0. ii' 51951 THEC0DEX At the Reception 1 HE Annual joint Reception given by the Y. M. C. A. and X H Y. NV. C. A. was a success. The big gymnasium was ,fi T i crowded with a very noisy mass of students, new and old, ,WAX I, who were gathered in groups of eight and ten, joking and laughing, discussing the merits of the incoming Freshman class and fast making the new students known to one another. Across the great room from side to side were hung long lines of japanese lanterns and banners of every description from which were refiected in brilliant colors the bright lights from the electric lamps which lined the edge of the running-track and the galleries over-head. Up at one end of the hall a junior was pounding out chords on the piano as an accompaniment to his impromptu whistle, and at the other end a very rough group of men pushed and crowded one another in a desperate struggle for the first glass of frappe. The joint Reception was certainly a grand success. Up on the running-track, however, stood one Freshman who did not seem to enter into the spirit of the occasion. He was only a boy, of perhaps sixteen years, very frail anl slim of figure. His face was pale and wan, yet attractive. The expressive dark eyes contrasted pleasantly with the white complexion, and the dark brown hair, curled slightly about the forehead, together with the small nose and the girlish chin gave his features an express- ion of innocence which well became the frail figure of the boy. His dress was not costly, but neat and clean, and upon the lapel of his coat was pinned the card which read, Harold Marten, '09. He stood alone, leaning over the railing and looking down with large, wistful eyes upon the happy throng beneath. There was an expression of sadness upon his face and a suggestion of a tear in his eye. A great lump kept rising in his throat which he could not swallow, and his delicate fingers clutched nervously at the railing in the attempt to overcome his emotion. Earlier in the evening he had bravely joined one of the groups intending to be joyful and happy with the others, but the strangers had not noticed him, but continued their discussion among themselves, and finally, disheartened and crestfallen, he had slipped away to the running-track where he had remained throughout the evening. His sen- sitive nature forebade a second attempt at forced companionship. Conse- quently his evening had not been a happy one. Up there alone, apart from the gay crowd, he felt himself an outcast, a stranger, an unwelcome visitor. The thought had grown upon him that he had been intentionally neglected, and it left him miserable and dissatisfied with himself and all his surroundings. The terrible sensation of homesickness was upon the boy. It pained him Q 7 ,iii e-M7 if H1963 CQISQQ T H Ei' C o ID--ENX i29Q'E' cruelly as a wound, and his heart ached in its loneliness. He struggled hard to keep back the tears, but it seemed they must come. A low sob escaped his lips and he turned to leave the hall. But a commotion in the upper end of the room caught his eye and arrested his movement. Curious to know its mean- ing, he stood still a moment. The talking and laughing died away and an intense stillness came over the hall. A girl in white was standing beside the piano, a sheet of music in her hand. Tall, stately, her fair face turned slightly upward, she seemed to the boy the most beautiful woman he had ever seen. Her light brown hair curled prettily about her neck, her fine and classic features were as though cut from marble and her simple dress of white seemed to enhance her beauty and to make her taller and more stately than those about her. In his admira- tion for her the boy on the running-track forgot his loneliness and again leaned over the railing, watching her face intently. There were a few chords from the piano, then, to a beautiful accompaniment, she began to sing. Her song was an old German Lied which quickly caught the attention of her audi- ence. Vtfhen the first verse was ended there was not a change of position nor a word of comment throughout the whole assemblage. The second verse began. The singer threw back her head and glanced up toward the boy. For a moment they looked into each other's eyes. He held his breath and gazed wonderingly upon her. Then his eyes drooped and he blushed fur- iously, 'coloring his pale face blood-red. The singer had seen him, for she smiled up at him in a friendly manner. Again and again during her song she turned her face toward him and seemed to sing to him alone. Rising, falling, the song expressed his every emotion and gave him the sympathy he craved. A subtle happiness seemed to steal into his heart and he forgot his sorrow in this new-found sympathy. The singing ceased and bowing slightly, amid a furious applause, the singer mixed with the crowd and was lost from the boy's view. The buzz and conversation of the people again filled the room. The boy stood confused and bewildered. Then he started as from a trance. There was a rustle behind him and a low sweet voice said question- ingly, Good evening. I don't think I have met you yet ? The lad turned quickly and looked into the face of the singer. No-No. I guess not, he managed to stammer. You are a Freshman ? she asked, bending to look at his card. Oh, yes. '09. I am glad to meet you, Mr. Marten. My name is Amie Barton. Yes, I am a Senior, and she extended her hand which the boy held timidly in his for an instant. Your singing-- he began hesitatingly. Oh, yes, she interrupted, smiling pleasantly. My singing. Well, you know, someone had to sing and as they couldn't find anyone else, they had 51971 'I' IiQ I3 CI C27 IJ I3 QFC to take me. You liked it? I am glad somebody appreciates it. For that compliment we shall be good friends. You have enjoyed the reception ? From that the conversation drifted from conventionalities into more per- sonal topics. By many artful devices the fair Senior Finally succeeded in overcoming the boy's embarrassment and putting him quite at his ease. She lcd him to talk of his home, of his friends, and of other subjects which could hardly be of interest to her. But the boy's expressive eyes and earnest manner made his conversation so entertaining that she could not fail to become inter- ested in him. XV ith a face beaming with enthusiasm he told her of his serious plans and ambitions, of how he intended going through college and becoming a professor some day. XVith laughing eyes he related to her various amusing incidents of his home life which he thought might interest her, and she laughed with him, more in sympathy with his delight rather than at his stories. The boy forgot his loneliness and was happy and delighted with his new-found confidant. College life seemed very enjoyable once more and he wondered how he could have been so depressed and disheartened such a short while before. How foolish and sentimental he must have been, he thought. The time passed so pleasantly that it seemed only a few minutes before the crowd began to disperse and the sudden appearance of coats and jackets announced the time for departure. As they parted, the fair Senior said with a sweet smile, Now, Mr. Marten, I have enjoyed my little conversation with you very much and you must come up to Emerson Hall, the girls' hall, you know, to see me. You will? Good! I shall expect you soon. Good-night, and with a hasty hand-clasp she was gone. Delighted and happy, the Freshman ran down the stairs to the main fioor, and was soon on the way to his room. His were pleasant dreams that night, dreams of long, smooth floors and of japanese lanterns and ban- ners, and colored lights and mussic. There were dreams of noise and laugh- ter, of happiness and of pleasure. But chief among his dreams was one of a fair face, a low, sympathetic voice, and a pleasant, reassuring smile, a beauti- ful singer, singing sweetly to him alone. M. H. M.

MERRILL occupied a place of unique distinction among W the group of notable men whose labors laid the foundations of Beloit College. Coming to .Beloit before the college was opened to students, he became its first instructor, and his life ful-Q2-11 X QI has spanned the whole subsequent history of the institution. Q' ' :S U - As principal of the Beloit Seminary he prepared for en- trance the five young men who in November, 1847, were admitted as the first Freshman class. Until the arrival of Professors Bush- nell and Emerson in the spring of the following year, he instructed these Freshmen in all their studies, being, as Professor Bushnell called him, president and professor in all departments. The interest thus manifested in the college at its very beginning was maintained throughout a long and busy life, although Mr. Merrill soon laid down his teachings to engage in the work that he had set before himself when he first turned his face westward. This chosen pursuit was manufacturing. Mr. Merrill's mechanical tal- ent had been developed in a tool-factory on his father's New Hampshire farm. He had faith to believe in the possibility of developing the elaborate industries alongside of agriculture on the NVisconsin frontier, and he became a pioneer in discovering and utilizing the opportunities afforded for manufactures in the northwest. Witliiii ten years, under his leadership, three paper mills were built beside Rock River, two of them in Beloit. In these mills he introduced the making of straw-board, of building paper, for which he obtained a patent, and of paper bags. From paper-making he passed to the construction of water-wheels and paper-machines, becoming president in 1873 of the reor- ganized Merrill Sz Houston Iron VVorks. He also was president for several years of the Eclipse Wind Mill Company, formed at about the same time to manufacture the wind-mills invented by Rev. L. H. Wheeler. The Eclipse Company was the forerunner of the Fairbanks-Morse establishment of today, with its two thousand employes. The marvelous development in later years of all these industries is proof of the statesmanlike sagacity with which Mr. Merrill made his early ventures. Mr. Merrill's activities were not limited to his business undertakings. He was a public-spirited citizen of rare breadth of interest and devotion in service. He gave largely to the college and the church in the days when money could be less easily spared than now. As occasion demanded, he served in public office. The Beloit Savings Bank, now having deposits 52023 Q9.CM9THECODEXCQS amounting to a million dollars, is the outcome of years of thought and effort on his part. As a member of the legislature, he secured the enactment of the law under which he then proceeded, with the aid of others whom he induced to join him, in organizing a savings bank of the New England type. His formal connection with the college was renewed in 1869, when he was elected trustee, and he served for twenty years on the executive committee, together with such men as President Chapin and Mr.,A. P. VVaterman, retaining until his death his place as an honorary member of the board of trustees. The mention of Mr. Merrill's public services and his achievements in business suggests the energy and efficiency of the man, but it gives no adequate idea of his personality. He possessed rare intellectual gifts. He was a dili- gent student, versed in the literature of many languages, and having a re- markably wide range of knowledge of science and history, so that his conver- sation was a constant delight to his friends. He is remembered by his pupils as an inspiring teacher. His sympathetic interest in the welfare of those about him appeared in many an unrecorded deed of kindness. His abiding religious faith, his breadth of view, his strength of will, were manifested in a firmness and a preserverance that won respect for his convictions, and seldom failed to give effect to his purposes. Mr. Merrill passed away in his ninetieth year, October twenty-second, 1905, after a brief illness. To the end of his life he maintained a keen inter- est in all that went on about him, and his welcome presence was seldom miss- ing from the public exercises of the college. His name and his work will live on in the institutions in whose beginnings he had so worthy a part. R. C. CHAPIN.

You have gathered here for a pur- pose. There seems to be something in this gathering which is distinctive. A college. like any historical personage, has its own individuality, its character, aim and destiny. These qualities unite the individuals of a college into a common brotherhood with a common personality. The world may use us differently but we all belong to the same family. As we were assembled NVednesday, October 18th, for our usual chapel service, President Eaton kindly took the college family, for as such he has always regarded it, into his confidence and told us in a direct personal way that he must leave us. W'e believe that President Eaton carefully considered this action and did what in his judgment he thought best. However in your going, President Eaton, we realize a feeling of mingled regret and joy. Regret, because we are to lose you, who for nearly twenty years have guided this grand institution in her constantly enlarging course, you, who have won for yourself a place in each one of our hearts as a personal friend and teacher. Joy, because the work that you now take up, will relieve the strain which has impaired your health. On behalf of the students, I am indeed glad to extend to you, President and Mrs. Eaton, a hearty welcome to spend an evening with this college family before going from us. NV e have felt that your relation to the students, Presi- dent Eaton, has been that of an elder brother, an ideal which you set for yourself in your inaugural address, an ideal which you have maintained throughout your administration. We are indeed glad to have you with us tonight that we may give outward expression in our weak way to the love and admiration that we have for you as a man of exceptional educational and executive ability, for you as a Christian gentleman of rare culture and attainments, for you as a true brother and friend. Although we cannot longer claim you as our President, the high ideals with which you have inspired us, the lofty purposes which you have set before us, will always be a source of joy and value to us. XV e hope to see you often, and as a college family shall always be glad to welcome you into our midst. CHARLES PGTTER, ,06- Lzoe 3 CQQQETHE CQDEXQSQE Greeting from the Faculty I do not stand here this evening to say that the members of the faculty are sorry that President Eaton is to go away. I want to turn in the other direction and say rather that we are glad that he has been so long with us. In virtue of my representative office, I think I may safely say that the faculty of the college from 1868 to 1872, when Mr. Eaton was a student, rejoiced in his presence then. Certainly, if, like us today, they enjoyed an undergraduate who was a good scholar, a fine musician, an enthusiastic speaker and writer, a loyal supporter of the best traditions of the college, they must have enjoyed him. I know that it was a great satisfaction to those who composed the faculty in 1886 that he at that time assumed the presidency. and I have had abundant testimony, from sources too intimate to be more than mentioned here, that his courtesy and consideration made easy for the elder men the transition from the old order to the new. I know, too, how in 1889 they rejoiced with the youngest of us in the raising of the one hundred thou- sand dollars to meet Dr. Pearsons' first offer, which marked the turning of the tide and the beginning of a rising How of benefactions to the college. The faculty of today has rejoiced in the great enlargement which has come under the administration of President Eaton, in the increase of endow- ments, of buildings and equipment, of students and of instructors. We know. too, that without anxiety and thought and effort on his part--the burden of which he seldom allows us to perceive-these additions would not have been made. XV e remember, further, that most of us are here because of his being here and calling us to come. Of the twenty-eight names on the roll of instructors in the catalogue, all but six are the names of those who have been appointed since he became president. As each of us is glad that he is here in the service of the college that we love, so each of us is glad in his associa- tions with those whom the president has brought together to be his colleagues. As I hear of the doings of faculties in other institutions, I ani more and more impressed with the large measure of the spirit of harmony and co- operation manifested in the faculty of Beloit, and this is due in no small degree, I believe, to the President? s clear conception of the ideals of the college, and to his tact and patience and ingenuity in combining the various shades of opinion represented among us into a working plan which commands general 52073 THE CODEXCQSQJE assent.. In the work of our several departments, also, we have found help and encouragement in his cordial expressions of interest, and his sympathetic appreciation of our endeavors. Throughout we have felt the power of a leadership, not of compulsion, but of attraction. President Eaton has won our admiration as a man, and we, as well as the students, have been enriched by contact with his gifted personality. His taste in music and in architecture has added beauty to our daily routine, his scholarly felicity of speech has been to us a model, his grasp of religious truth has strengthened ours. As we have lived with him through these years, the ties of friendship have been knit between us as we have shared weather and politics, and held communion not only in the amenities of neighborly inter- course, but in the deeper experiences of life. As we look back thus on our relations with you during the whole of your administration, President Eaton, we are grateful that you have been our president, our leader, our friend, and we assure you that, as you leave a faculty twice as large as that which you found, so you carry with you a double portion of the regard and good-will that greeted your inauguration. PROF. R. C. CHAPIN. President Eaton in Civic Life i 'f t E have been accustomed to think of Edward D. Eaton as a Col- Cm W lege President, but I like tothink of him also as a citizen of Beloit. In his time, students have come and gone, the fac- xf ulty has almost entirely changed, the city has nearly trebled Ztfgill X' in population, and yet there has remained a body of the I 57- 'l ' old citizens. These will remember Dr. Eaton as a fellow c1't1'.zen, and not only as the College President. He has endeared himself to us because of his appreciation and sympathy with civic problems, and especially because he has identified himself with our civic interests. He has lived in Beloit during the historic movement, which has formed a transition from the old idea of the individual citizen over to the new thought of collective citizenship. He is an example of the true relation of the individ- ual citizen to collective citizenship. Our present new social movement of col- 52081 UQETHE CODEXQQQQ lective citizenship, if of any value, must be based upon worthy individual citi- zens. President Eaton by his strong personality has taught us a lesson in this respect in modern citizenship. NV e have learned by his life among us that the first thing in collective citizenship is to be a IIIUIZ. To be, and to l1c'c011ze, is the main thing in citizen- ship. The doing is incidental and will take care of itself, if the right kind of a man is back of civic action. Individual character first, and then collective civic life. And we have found that the mere presence of such a man as President Eaton creates a purer civic atmosphere. It has not been necessary for him to burden himself with the petty details of civic life. His simply being the man he has been, and living in Beloit, this has become the pledge of right civic doing in our collective citizenship. All his life in Beloit, these twenty years past, has met the civic test. At his first coming he built a home in one of the neglected outlying dis- tricts of the city. He has made that part of Beloit beautiful. Better still, in all our struggles for the social betterment of our civic life he has borne his part. He has not been the secluded college president, withdrawing himself within college walls. XV e always knew we could call upon him and he would respond. He has made Beloit College democratic and prevented any antago- nism between the town and college. Beloit citizens consider the college their college. He has, against strong opposition from trustees and alumni, opened the college doors to the young women of Beloit, graduates of our high school, many of whom could not otherwise have had a college education. He has given credit to the name Beloit abroad, by the fame of the college. He has fortunate for our city that the college received the name in early days from the town rather than from some personal founder. Such colleges as Knox, Law- rence. Carlton. have done little by their mere name for the financial credit of their cities. But it is a fact that the reputation of Beloit College, almost around the world, has given a special financial credit to the city of Beloit. Our municipal bonds are worth more for the name that Beloit College has given to us. The bonds of our public utilities are marketed easier because of the widespread name of Beloit College. The College is really one of our financial institutions. It has increased its financial resources over a million dollars during the presidency of Dr Eaton. Besides, the name President Eaton has made for Beloit College has given us a far higher credit in intellec- tual circles among the educational institutions of our land. This too has had its effect upon our civic life. President Eaton has fulfilled, in a large measure, a high ideal in civic life of the individual citizen in his relation to collective citizenship. VVe may, without exaggeration, greet him as the foremost citizen of a no mean city. E. P. SALMON. 5 209 1 CQQQETHE CODEXCQSQE After Twenty Years ELOIT COLLEGE has passed through two distinct 'wi cycles in its history. The first may properly be called ? the formation period, the second the period of expan- M :gi sion, each has been strong in its own way. The first 2 -K v , - iff period covers the first thirty-nine years-the Old Beloit Q ,. -under the direction of President Chapin, when the , 39, 1 country was new, resources limited, and service to the college meant unusual sacrifice to all. The second period includes the succeeding nineteen years under the guidance of President Eaton-the New Beloit-when extension under the resources of a more fully developed country made expansion possible. In reviewing the twenty years which includes the second administration one meets a real difficulty, as the present generation of students and the newer friends of the college have so slight a conception of the condition of the insti- tution at its beginning. The college had been well-grounded during the open- ing years, the ideals of life and work were high, and results attained during those formative years had been remarkable. But the institution was seriously hindered in its possible work by lack of equipment, new and modern, larger buildings were needed, endowments for teaching and materials for work were required, new friends must be made and the whole plan, on which the college should carry on its work. needed enlargement. Those who remember the college campus in the eighties will recall the buildings then in use, the old Keep house where now Scoville Hall stands, used for a dormitory for a few students, the old Burrill house, just north of it, a wooden building used by a few students, the old South College converted into a chemical laboratory in 1881 and used for that purpose until 1892, when the Pearsons' Hall was opened, the Observatory behind the Laboratory, the only building modern n its equipment on the campus, the Memorial Hall, with the mineralogical col- lection on the first floor and the library on the second, the old Chapel build- ing. with the rooms for the preparatory department on the first floor, the Middle College. with its recitation rooms and Archaean Reading Room and the Society Halls, the old Gymnasium in the rear of the Middle College and finally the old North College. used as a dormitory. All of these buildings were without lights, any central heating plant, or the modern conveniences. The college campus was restricted to the rectangular space between College avenue and Pleasant street, with the Keep property. The endowment of the college was limited, being for some years at about 8175.000 and the trustees were called on annually to face a deficit in operat- ing expenses in spite of all care taken to keep them at a minimum. As an illustration of the strict economy employed during those years the writer recalls a conversation with Dr. Chapin regarding the use of recitation rooms after dark during the short winter days, in which he stated that this had not 'Rvws' gb,- THE CODEXCQSQZPQ been done on account of the expense of purchasing the necessary lamps and the cost of operating them. The total valuation of the college property at that time was, including endowment and plant, about SB300,000. Today, after these twenty years of effort, the total valuation of the plant is not far from s1,500,0oo. Regarding the personnel of the college it is of interest to note that of the Board of Trustees in 1886 but two are still in active service, aside from Dr. Eaton-Dr. Savage of Chicago and Mr. Ditkin of Oak Park. Of the Faculty in 1886 but three are in active service-Professor T. A. Smith, Professor E. G. Smith and Professor Burr, added to these should be our nestor of the faculty, Professor Porter, who is giving as much of his strength as possible in the later years of a beautiful life. In 1886 there were 58 students in the college-17 Seniors, 12 juniors, 14- Sophomores and 15 Freshmen. As com- pared with these numbers this .year's catalogue will show a board of trustees numbering 26, a faculty numbering 30 and a student body numbering 280. The student of the present generation thus finds himself in a very differ- ent environment from those here during the eighties. In fact, it is difficult to imagine the exact conditions. Some idea, however, can be obtained if he will think of all the college property north of Emerson street gone, with no Emerson Hall, Stowell Cottage, Pearsons' Hall, Chapin Hall, Smith Gymna- sium, Chapel, Carnegie Library, or Scoville Hall, with the faculty cut in two, with the departments correspondingly reduced or distributed, with no young women in the classes, and with about 120 less young men. He would find himself, however, in a very congenial atmosphere, where hard work was the order, where men made the most of the opportunities af- forded, where the product was men equipped equally well with those from our best and largest institutions. He would End ideals of life high and strong, and a college where the strenuous endeavor was made to attain in som-is degree to them. He would End that after all it is not buildings and endow- ments alone. however desirable they may be, which give power to a college, but it is the men one sees and associates with, this it is which gave to the Old Beloit its value, and which after twenty years, through all of the marvelous material changes, the New Beloit hath of the highest worth. The occasion of this Thursday evening gathering is to pay tribute to the one man who above all others has made this transformation of the college possible. In all of the changes of these twenty years his hand has been on the keys, there has been ever the one kindly interest, the single purpose, the strenuous effort to make the college of the widest infiuence. Those most familiar with its history know how true this has been throughout the whole period of this second presidency, how the ideals of the Old Beloit have been maintained and how through the New Beloit there is the deepest hope for the Greater Beloit. In this preparation for the wider work the part Dr. Eaton has taken will always be viewed by the friends of the college as the greatest. ' -gt D g G. SMITH. TF If I3 CI CJ IJ I3 JC Beloit: The The New and The Greater 1 -5QfiJ?.. TRUST you will pardon me a personal word in expressing the pleasure ' N and joy I have in being present upon this occasion. VVhen I come to ,4-V21 this college community, whether to call upon a friend, to attend a so- M ciety meeting, to spend a short time at Emerson Hall, or to join in wor- ' ' ship in the Chapel, I leave for my home refreshed, strengthened, and Zigi' ' uplifted. Q - ' I ' The history of the pioneer is ever inspiring. The works of men who have cut their way through the wilderness, endured the privations of frontier life. and planted new civilizations are among the greatest that men can do. Some pioneers go forth for the sake of gain, or they are led by a spirit of adventure, and yet. deep within such men is that which is beyond the mere desire for material gain. There are others who go in the spirit of service, in the cause of liberty, to provide for their chil- dren a larger and richer inheritance to advance the cause of the Kingdom of God. Such were the pioneers who laid deep and secure the foundations of Beloit College. They labored well and lived to see the rich fruitage of their works. They established the Old Beloit upon enduring foundations. All have passed away save one, Professor Porter, who is still among us. Long may he live to lend the force of his sweet and inspiring per- sonality to this community, of which he has been so long a part. The New Beloit came with President Eaton. I am happy ber of the class of 1890, which entered Beloit College in 1886, came to Beloit. Great changes have taken place from 1886 to well-appointed buildings have been erected, the endowments have to say that I am a mem- the year when Mr. Eaton 1905. New, spacious, and been increased, the faculty and students have increased in number, the courses of instruction have been enlarged, and the work of the College made richer and more productive in many ways. In one sense there has been no change. The spirit-the purpose-of Beloit has not changed. The purpose of the Old Beloit is that of the New, and the purpose of the New will be the purpose of the Beloit of the future. And now we see with prophetic vision the Greater Beloit that is to come. Our Alma Mater will go on to greater and yet greater things. It is true that President Eaton is to leave us. VVe shall miss his presence and inspiring leadership, we shall miss the warm welcome and genial hospitality of himself, his wife, and family, but other leaders must take his place and a larger success will come than ever before. In this enlarged life Dr. Eaton will be honored, and because of it he will rejoice. Mr. Eatonls work is not done, neither does he enter a more circumscribed life. He goes to a larger work. Relieved from annoying details, with renewed physical and men- tal strength, rich in experience, and with a mind stored with precious truth, the sphere of his labors will grow and he will exercise an ever increasing and more commanding influence in the Kingdom of Christ, Whose he is and VVhom he serves. This is not an occasion for tears. Let us rejoice that President Eaton goes to take a larger place in the activities of the world, especially of the Church. Let us also be glad that, out of the Old came the greater and better New Beloit, wherein the pioneers who built the Old were honored, and in which they rejoiced, so out of the New will come the Greater Beloit of the future, in which President Eaton will be honored, and we shall all be glad with Dr. Eaton and his family. ALEXANDER MATHESON. 52121 , u-1 ' V ' i ' i t 7 CCQQETHECODEXCQQQE An Appreciation from the Students HEN Professor Smith asked me to give tonight. an apprecia- .Af tion of President Eaton from the students, I hesitated for 3 a moment. Before I could reply, he said, VVhy of course 5' ,. ' you will do it. You could not help doing it. No one could , 1 Eelp doing it.. i And it is true, for our appreciation of Piesi- ent Eaton lies so deeply in our hearts, that we cannot help expressing it. NVe all know of the work which he has done for the college in its various aspects-how he has placed it upon a firm financial basis, how he has raised it to so high an educational standard that we are glad to be members of the institution, how his infiuence has lifted up its moral standard, and created a spirit which we love to distinguish as Beloit Spirit. However it is not in regard to these things that I want to speak, but of the feelings of the student body for President Eaton. First, our appreciation of him as a friend-that truest kind of a friend, one who draws out the best that is in us, and in return gives to us the best that is in himself. He has always had time for us, he has always had helpful words and friendly smiles for us, but more than these, he has always had a personal interest in us. NVhatever we have undertaken, either as a student body or as individuals, if it met with his approval, he has given it his heartiest support-if it met with his disapproval, he has shown that disapproval in so firm and yet so kindly a way that we have felt it to be for the best interests of the college. Then of our appreciation of President Eaton as a teacher. Before I became a member of his ethics class I felt a little in awe of him, not as Presi- dent Eaton, but as P1'c'stz'de1zt Eaton. In the classroom we forget that he is President, and think of him only as the genial, interested teacher who each day has lessons for us, not in the ethics book, which we shall always remember, presented in a way which we shall always remember. The under classmen have not had the opportunity of being in the classrooms with President Eaton. but they have felt the influence of his ideal of intimate relationship between teacher and student. Lastly I want to speak of the students' appreciation of President Eaton as a man. In him we find the qualities which we most desire-persistency and energy in work, a clear, logical, keen mind, earnest striving toward high ideals, and steadfastness and firmness of conviction. A true man doing the duties of a difficult position with most noble effort, is what we see in President I2131 THE coDEX Eaton. His task has been arduous, more arduous than we have realized, but as we are now being brought to realize it more fully, we understand more fully that much of what we are enjoying in Beloit College is due to him, and We want to express our love and gratitude toward him who has given to us so much of loving service. It is in the Sunday vesper service that the students have felt President Eatons personality most strongly, for it is there that we have known him as friend, teacher and man. Sunday after Sunday he has stood before us in the hush and peace of the vesper hour, and in his forceful way, given to us the messages which have sent us out from the chapel more thoughtful men and women, desiring to strive more earnestly for the highest things. In behalf of the students of Beloit College I present to President Eaton an appreciation of what he has been to us, and will always be to us.

The hest in chivalry. Forward they went with click and elang Their sahers clashed, their armor rang. As they stepped doughtily. III ' VVith gravity and haughty manner meet They picked them along College street. Out spake the Yakob brave, Sweet cause, I feel right strong and stout, Alone methinks I put to rout Full many a eaitiff knavef' IV There was a maiden and royal-born. Whom our uneonquered knight had sworn To fend from force and guile. But lo, a varlet steeped in sin With chantments dark had fenced her in, And kept in duranee vile. V And on the night that base-horn wight Did hold the maid unseemly tight And with his arms enthrall, I' the selfsame street where our brave knight Did hie him from the castle hight Thrice famouse Chapin Hall. and Sir George XI YI The good Sir blames waxed mighty wioth, See how he quoth, my lady doth In shameful durance hide Out wretchf' he cried, release the maid, Or hy the rood I'll sink my hlade Deep in thy sinful hide. VII Thereat he frowned a dreadful frown, Each drew, and pulled his vizor down. And joined in furious fray. Alas, too strong the eaitiff's stroke! Prone fell the knight as falls an oak. And strait he quite away. VIII But soon he woke with inward groan, And thus he uttered piteous moan O waly woe is me, O waly, waly, waly, woe, I'll never fight for lady moe. O waly woe is me. IX The paynim smiling went his way, And smiling eke the lady gay, Leaving the gallant knight VVithouten aid of any kind Wherewith his castle for to find, That Chapin Hall is hight. X But say, where was Sir George the while James did resist the caitiff's guile, And fend his lady-love? Oh knighthood's everlasting stain, To flee the craven was full fain, While that the knight he strove. Ah heavy tale wounded and lone, All night Sir James made piteous moan, O waly woe is me, ' O waly, waly, waly woe, I'll never fight for lady moe, O waly woe is nie.

Q .Y appreciate good fabrics and artistic tailoring, but who 'x W 1, l MXN f' Q il , l 0 O C, 0 are not disposed to pay over 330.00 to 340.00 for i i a business suit. Owing to the inability of the high- 0 oy O 0 grade tailors to meet this demand, these men, who ,i ,i N2 l--- incline towards the best in tailoring, have been forced to put up with inferior workmanship and unreliable goods. VVe are now among the first of the leading tailors to bring about an improvement in this state of affairs and to make suitable provision for the class of trade indicated. We therefore desire to announce to the young men of Chicago and vicinity that We have decided to extend the benefit of our long experience, our knowledge of fabrics and styles, and our tailoring skill to the class of young men above referred to, and for the purpose we have added an excellent line of fabrics, affording a variety of color and pattern, which, for the present, at least, we will make up in our best style at 330.0f' and 335.00 per suit. While these fabrics, of course, are not equal to our 350.00 and 360.00 suitings, they are reliable, and the fact that they are turned out by WERNO is a guaranty to you that they will be more than satisfactory. 51 Jack 0 Bo levard Henry werna -02124631 fzmj THE CODEX llli'l'Il trifling home with Miss Fl-k-g-r after the l.aw- rence gamel- You seem to he tired.
