IX i8g8 Bethany published the second volume of the Meteor, but as there were so few students here then it was a non-paving ' investment. Since that time there has been no annua! published. This vear the Junior and Senior Classes decided to attempt once more the publication of an annual. We present, therefore, the Kodak, feeling a sense of pride mingled with an.xiet_y as to how our ef- forts will be received. The object of this work is to present a true record of some of the incidents of our college life. It has been impossible for us to print everything that was sent in, but we ha ' e striven to be just and have printed what, in our judgment, we considered Ijest. We have now completed our work, although we know it is imperfect, yet we feel better now that it is fin- ished. We hope that you will be lenient with us and overlook our mistakes. If you don ' t receive a roast. Do not boast, You don ' t deserve the Iirain And the pains It takes to write a verse. Bad or worse. And you who get a roast, Do not boast. You ' re not the sweetest gumdrop In the shop : We gave you a place ■ :• To fill up space. 1904— COLLEGE CALENDAR— 1905. Fall Term, 1904. Sept. 21 ! al! Term liegiii? .

At the sound thereof every Junior within the radius of half a mile quaked in his hoots for he knew that the in- e ' italjle haJ come to pass. Juniors were very scarce that afternoon, however, one did Cdme up the hill his pockets hulgin,c; with pep]3er for which he had squandered his sjiendin.o- money, or more like- ly, stuck the storekeeper. W i- were g ' oin,s; home then so he waded in the deep snow as we went past. The ne.xt morning ' we were arrayed for Ijattle, headed bv our first President, John Mullady. The Jvmiors were weak and we were strong — nor did we lia e to include a score or two of I ' reps to swell our number to a respectable size — o er each Freshman ' s heart rested our colors, White and Red: Peace or War, and we were willing and able to .give the Juniors either. They chose peace. Of course there were a few skirmishes, but the Juniors who par- ticipated therein were ijut half hearted and desisted after Ijeing rolled over the corridor a few times. Not a Freshman lost his colors. As Sophomores tlu. class wh ' jlly and indi -iduallv sat at the feet of their professors and got wisdom and with all their getting got imderstan.ding in the wavs of giving tiieir I ' reshnien breth.ren a little lirotherlv care and over- sight. AVe passed safelv through those trials of human end;irance known as the Junior orations. Then the Freshies appeared. They were a bold set, so brave that tliev organized under cover of I ' arkness and the light of the ne.xt da}- revealctl the fact that they had a Prep for President. Did we scrap them? Well you should have seen it! The red and white never faltered at sight of their host and many were the colors we carried off. In the spring they had an entertainment, but it wasn ' t our fault, for the President came to their rescue. But why all this about our past achievements. Every one knows that we have liveil up to our motto. Seniors now we have laid aside these frivolities and are needed to maintain the equilibrium of our college life. I ' reshmen and Preps, don ' t think us lost forever when you see lis depart; some of us will be back in a few years and tell you all about the . tmosph.ere and These dear old battlements, which you have not yet dis- co ' ered. ■.V So here ' s tj 1905 -aliant and true, mav Success and Fortune ever accompany her. — Harry ' ynne. 3 SENIOR POEM. 05. thou gem of many ages, Foiever be The cliihl of prophets, heroes, sages ' ho lived for thee.

Be still sad Soph, ami cease youv fr oat ' uig. From the clock tower, old rose and vhite is floating. Into your life some foe must fall, Some days must be dark and dreary. YES, and the davs were dark and dreary, for a mightier hand of verdant youths never came to Bethany. When the colors were worn early in February. KJ03, little stir was made. As Freshmen they lived on in silence until one line May day. A storm was brewing. Early in the morning distant rumblings were heard and continued louder and louder all dav. The hush of the chapel was disturbed by the sudden circling of a dove over the heads of the astonished worshipers. And what was the portent of this omen? l rom the pinions of this bird of peace wa ed tlie ribbons which struck terror to the hearts of the Sophomores and Juniors, and which brought an appro ing smile to the faces of their allies, crowned with th.e Senior lids. Any Freshman cotdd interpret this omen. It was Freshman class day and war, cruel war, was abroad in the land. One could almost smell the fumes of the smoke, — pepper smoke. Suspicion lurked on the countenance of each under classman. By evening the excitement was intense. Just at dusk dim forms could be seen hurrying to chapel, read) ' for the first call to arms. Bv half past seven chapel hall was well filled, a few of those on the program were waiting but where was their worthv President? Just at the last minute he rushed upon the chapel steps and breathlessly told of his thrilling escape from the room of a down-town Junior. In the midst of this tale, a bunch of Juniors and Sopho- mores, wild-eyed and savage, appeared on the landing. A struggle ensued. Every Freshman fought bravely and the fight proved to be a Waterloo for the enemy. After the smoke of the battle had cleared away, those on the jirogram, led by the President, marched tri- umphantly to the platform. The evening ' s entertainment began. Two vacant chairs were conspicuous. How- ever, presently the door opened and in rushed the missing brothers. Yith dress-suits disarranged, disheveled, brows beaded with perspiration, thev dropped into their seats amid the wild cheers of the crowd. With these two the program was completed and the Freshman Cl?ss had earned her ]ilace in the annals of Pietliany class history. 26 Next day the sun rose bright and clear. When the mists had rolled away, behold; old rose and white proudly waved from the topmost pinacle of the old college tower. To those who so daringly placed them there, and faithfully guarded ihem let us give a hearty cheer. ' ith the opening of the next college year, this plucky class enrolled as Sophomores and lived the unevent- ful life of all such classes. Two vears of colle.ge life have worn off many rougli edges and the l- ' reshies of ' 03 now pose as polished Juniors. On the anniversary of their organization, the iirst Junior orations were given. These maiden efforts sounded very scholarly and seemed to appeal to the audience very forcibly, especially to a few who even took notes. But the keen eyes of the speakers knew full well the meaning of those busy Profs. and the whole school reaped ifor about a month) the benefit of their valuable criticisms. The Junior Class leaves this list of rules, as a bequest to her Sophomore brethren, which, if heeded, will save them much troul.ile and the faculty the emljarrassment of repeating them : - . Don ' t choose an abstract subject. Do not disturb Washington, Columbus, and other famous men. Avoid the preacher ' s tone. 4. Be interested in 3 ' our subject, Ije anxious to give an oration ( ?). 5. Be not over-composed, neither gesticulate like one throwing dustpans out of the dormitory windows. And now beloved Seniors, let us smoke the peace-pipe and may all bitter contentions vanish with its smoke, is the desire of the Junior Class of ' 05. Anna Kemp. s 27. JUNIOR POEM. Oh Junior Class! Oil Junior Class! Who can full praise thee for the past, For battles fought and victories won. For beauteous maid and noble son, And classic excellence. I look away through coming years. Whose prospects brings no weaklings fears : But eagerness to join with fate And win the battles that await Our destined powers. No wonder soph ' morcs hide their face And freshmen humbly beg for grace And seniors look with wondering awe And tell what they each heard or saw, When we come on the field. I think of times that are to come, ' Iien, no more victories to be won, Ve shall sit dov. ' U with him of old, And weep that wc have been so boh And conquered all the world. Let deeds, not words, thv motto be. Let nought o ' ercome or conquer thee, And let our colors wave on high. Old Rose and White all gloriously. While time shall last. — O. J.

AT THE TIME when lietliany ' s star of hope was brightor growinji ' ; when the doubts had Ijeeu dis- pelled and ' the new and pmspenuis era had been ushered in: There came a band of valiant sons and charming daughters to grace Iter halls and to add new jewels to her crown of power and knowledge. It is true our predecessors thought us green. (But then) the frost soon came; the winter blasts blew chili, and e ' er the balmy breeze of spring time wafted the cheering warble of the plumed bird, the burr had opened; the flax had broken. .And one day when all was quiet along the Jiufl ' alo and peace and harmonv reigned throughout the little ' illage, it was whispered about that the Class of 1907 had convened tii organize and soon the corrider would be gay with streaming colors. To arms! the Junior.s cried. To arms! tlie Sophomores sighed. But whi ' e that warrior crowd was being marsiialled, the Freshmen organization was being completed. And with John Smith as Chief Executive. Miss Helen Tinslev to record our deeds, and ' alter b ' inch lo guard our nuances; v.dth our motto urging us forward and with the purple and white streaming from nur coats, we sallied forth and brax ' cr scrapping has not been known. That night the tower was scaled and amid deafening cheers Jerr_ ' unfurled the colors of our standard, .A.11 night long the stalwart sentinels paced that narrow tower and when the morning light proclaimed the Freshmen victors peace was made. Time wore on until at last the day arrived whose night was to witness one of the most famous entertain- ments in the histor} ' of the College. The morning hours passed quietly hv ; the noon time feast had been en- joyed and the college clock was tolling the hour of three, when sudderdy a cr; for help was heard and a dozen robust Juniors emerged from the Dormitorv dra,ggiug Alexamler The Great, who was one of the chief actors of the night. With their rapid strides thev bore him along but that crv was a timely one and before the out- skirts of the woods were reached, the followers of Alexander recovered him and he was escorted back amid the applause of our Freshman sisters at Phillips Hall. The remainder of the daj was given over to bloody con- flicts. The offenders succeeded in taking some captive, but when . rchie tolled the bell at seven thirty, all had been recovered and the programme was complete. Conimencenient came ami that Frcshinan class parted to meet no more as Freshies. But September ' s cheering davs found a goodly number ready to enter upon that eventful period known as the Sophomore year. And here we are with Schafer at our head and success crowning onr efforts. From our ranks the Societies have called two to represent them in the oratorical contests. Several of our boys have been introduced to the Fra- ternitv Goats and our Sorority girls and Fraternity sisters are no less conspicuous. And last, but not least, some of our members have been considered wise enough to convene with the Faculty at their regular meetings. Onr class spirit still runs high as clearly shown in the late scrap with the Freshmen, who franklv ac- knowledge their defeat. Our motto has impelled us to noble efforts from the very beginning. We have met our difficulties with determination and in all our scraps and struggles with the Romans and the Greeks, no cavalrymen have been enlisted and when in 1907 we march out and onr ranks are filled by others, no ponies •will be for sale. Space forbids the full record of our eventful history, l iut time will tell. And when we have donned the Senior cap and gown and for the last time with majestic niein have strolled up and down the old corrider, then will our history as a class be complete. And bidding farewell to each other and to our Alma Mater, we will enter upon our individual work which we hope will be worthy of emulation. B. S. Tohnson. X- SOPHOMORE POEM. Hail to thee, blithe, joj-ous class! A fairer group in Beth ' ny ' s lore Ne ' er o ' er her sacred grounds have passed, Ne ' er blossomed as a rose before; f-]ow soon will Time, the thief of vouth. Our coile.cc days steal on his wing? Then let us, classmates, cleave to truth. And the ' irtue of our motto sing . A rose that as a bud appeared When first our class as started. Through Freshman toils its head has reared, And from that company now has parted. Our royal purple cloth inspire us To thoughts and deeds of princelv value. And makes us brave Tot volvere casus, This phrase the bard of Mucins gave j ou. Our white ' s pure vigil with ceaseless care, The flowers so sweet has guarded well, And rendered safe from ever) ' snare Our sacred band its praise to tell. Then stay, dread daughters of the night, Clotho, I.ac ' sis, and Atropos three. Till thou canst spin for this class so brig;ht A blessed life, full wise and free. But hither Graces ! who bestow On men the richest gifts of mind ; J ' Iake us .good and well-favored show : Grant that onh ' good we mav find. Then hail to thee, lilithe happv class! Alay each be spared from care and pain ; And when through life ' s sea all have passed. Oh Muse ! pray sing no sadder strain. — Helen Tinsley. 33 SOPHOMORE CLASS ROLL. Colors, Purple and White.

WELTY 34 Sophomore Class HISTORY OF THE FRESHMAN CLASS. THE COLLEGE LIFE is a niici-ocosm. One feels, in a great measure, tliat lie has been transported from the world of realities into a little world where things are intangible. Often, seemingh-, fall- ing through space and finding no bottom, lint even in this little world at Bethany, to some, there are realities ; things that you can get hold of. According to the law of progress the Class of igo8 surpasses all the preceding classes in evei_v particular. Many of its worthies are 3 ' oung men and women of recognized talent.

Stillwagon, of Pennsylvania; Secretarjr, Miss Helen Marshall, of Pennsylvania; Historian, G. S. INIcClary, of Mrginia. On the morning of February seventh, soon after the colors were first donned, there were seen several Sopho- mores and a few Juniors on the corridor. Custom only impelled them to attempt the plucking of tlie inviting ribbons. Finally the largest among them summoned courage to attack the smallest Freshman. Then the fun began for the Freshmen. Who had a greater cause for scrapping ? Who took greater pleasure in blacking e ' es and tearing shirts than the heroes of that glorious morning? It is at this period of college life that the greatest freedom comes. The Freshmen are exempt from the creek bath and furthermore the great sun of recognition arises from Phillip ' s Hall and. illumines, at this period as at none other, their faces, yea their very innermost souls. To stand in the threshold of college is a sacred privilege ; to feel the pulse beats of the great future is a touch of inspiration ; to realize the potentialities which are now dormant and silent, shall be our highest achieve- ment. It is with mutual agreement and confidence that all who are so fortunate as to bear the name of Fresh- man, now traveling their respective roads, shall all be present when we come to that commencement hour, then to be bidden : Take your respective places on the stage of action. .

Colors, Pink and Green. ? lotto, Age Quod Agis. Pin, Crescent. IN 1880 tlie Ossolian Literary j ocietj ' was organized for the young ladies of Bethany College by Aliss A. C. Pendleton, one of the teachers in the college. It was at first called the D ' Ossolian Literary Society in honor of Margaret Fuller Ossoli, one of America ' s most brilliant thinkers and writers. Later the name was changed to the Ossolian. Miss Pendleton, the organizer, also wrote the son.g for it, Age Quod Agis, which voices the sentiments of the society. ' e would be brave, we would lie true, In truth and ' ali5r strong; Ours lie to help where help is due, To right where there is wrong: -.. - ,.. Not ours a world with sword and lance In any cause to move. • . • . lint ours t(;) conciuer in the might Of Faith and Hope and Love. This society has had many difficulties to contend with and many oiistacles to overcome. But she has been victor in the strife. It has had as its members some of the brightest and best students of the college. Strong, noble women who have .gone out into the world and engaged in life ' s battles, who have faithfully filled and are filling various po- sitions of honor and trust. Her present members. altliou,gh few in number, are earnest, full of zeal and determined to keep the society ' s work up to a high standard. On the l8th of larch Miss Louise leyer, a teacher in the High School of ' Wheeling, W. ' a., and a member of the Class of 1894, gave the anniversary address. 53 - . f .

L. I. hall. Entering, he sees a large attractive room beautifully decorated in dark green, relieved by har- monizing lighter colors. Some fine old pictures add their charm ; heavy damask curtains shade their quaint nar- row windows: a bust of Garfield holds a p lace on the rostrum. ' Ilie new-comers fine sensibilities respond to the beauty and classic elegance, and a delicate intution tells one that in this hall he will meet with kindred upward. striving spirirs, and feel a warming glow that will arouse the latent power within him. He is in the hall of a literary society organized more than three score years ago. and whose children have gone out well equipped for many posts of service, honor, and many a righteous battle. Since her organization in 1841, twice destructive fires have destroyeil her hall and ' aluable library. In her early year ' s she denied her fostering care to all but men : but realizing that men and women accomplish more and reach a higher le ' el when left as (jod hail placed them, she opened her motherly arms to women as well as men. Now her sons and daughters gi ' c mutual sirength and stri e toward the perfecting of their like. but dififereut powers. Proud of her past, A. L. I. is wide awake and working in the present and toils, knowing, surely, that com- ing years must still bring a bounding joy. For the light that descends from heaven, kindles in her children ' s hearts an undying fire, that shall shine as beacon lights on many a high hill of a world yet dark, teaching men to know and love the light. 55 NEOTROPHIAN LITERARY SOCIETY.

OX the lifth day of Xovember. 1841, a new influence coinmencerl its work in the college life at Bethany. It had long been felt among the zealous students of the institution that some additional means might be found by which the mental deyelopment of the youth could be enhanced. Accordingly, discussion arose concerning the matter. Thought was compared with thought, plan with plan, until from the labor of mind and body rose the embrj ' o of a new power destined to wield a mighty influence for good upon the future students of the school, and through them the world abroad. X ' o strange signs or omens accompanied the birth of this new association. Eyerything was quiet and in harmony with nature. But beneath the smoothly gliding stream were waters still and deep, ' e are but 56 young, they said, aiu! come to nouri. ll our ir.ind.s to lietter seek the truth. Wherefore, being true to them- sei ' es and to th.ose who .should follow, thev called theniseh ' cs Neotrophians and make hold the motto, Ouaer- imas ' erum. Messrs. Jas. Fall, K. T. Bryan, Nathan Grafton, Jas. Leslie, and I!. F. Trai)ue were the committee to frame a constitution and liy-laws. By the following week the work was accomplished, the result being practically identical with the parliamentary rules of the American Congress. However, not yet was the society tirndy established. In the month of March, 1841), the legislature of ' irgiuia granted a charter to the organization which not onh placed Xeothophia upon a more solid foundation, but also imparted to it greater dignity of character. Few from the uumiier who had the honor of being called charter members have departed this life. I- ' ron, the company of J ' lhn W, Mc(;ar ' ey, , lex. Campbell, Jr., J. D, Pickett, John K, Tener, and T, F, Campbell, all bnbt the last still live. Thus the institution, which has for sixty-three years stood the test of time has been playing a great part in the development an l training of her members, moulding their characters by her influences and strengthening their intellects by her guidance. The pros]X ' ritv of the college, unparalled in the past, is having a proportionate influence for good ui)iin Xeotrophia, In all departments of her work the society is growing, not only numerically but also intellectually. An ever growing enthusiasm for the gaining of success in public speaking is being fos- tered bv the members. A wholesome rivalrj ' exists wdiich has already born fruit in the last two years by giv- ing to Neotrophia the highest laurels in the preliminary contest in connection wiHi the Tri-State Oratorical Contest. In other departments the growth has been as noticeable. The past has brought great honors to N. L. S.. but we believe the future is destined to become even more exalted. The waves of influence set in motion b) ' those sturdy organizers of our society have all through these years been ser.ding their rippling circles furtlier and further across the broad expanses, until now there is scarce- ly a land whose rocky shores are washed bv the rolling tides, which lias not felt nor will continue to feel the ceaseless beat of the pulsating wave. ADELPHIAN LITERARY SOCIETY. JNIotto, Neglect not the gift that is in thee. Colors, Gold and Pnrple. R EALIZIXG the power of public speaking and the part it plays in winning the world to Christ, on No- vember 12, 1887, the Adelphian Literary Society was organized, that there might go forth from Bethany, men well equipped not only with a knowledge of scrijitiiral facts, and moral courage, but with their oratorical abilities well developed. IMar elous have been the results of the efforts put forth in Adelphian ' s halls and we are proud as her mem- bers, such men as E. V. Zollars, A. McLein, L. C. Woolery and 1 . D. Power. Lhitil the autumn of 1904 the Adelphian included from the other Societies, but at this time a re-organization was affected. The Constitution and Bv-Laws were revised and the Adelphian became a distinct Society, holding its regular meetings on i fon- dav evening, the same hour at which the other Societies convened. Following is a list of the officers : Officers. T. T. MOORE, President. G. PL SKINNER, Secretary. H .A. ETCHER, Marshal. J. D. PASCOE, Vice President. G. S. M ' LEARY, Treasurer. J. W.

DURING the last few rears, while football and liaseball teams have been organized, and lecture courses planned and carried out, one department of college life has been sadl} neglected. At one time in the history of Bethany College, there was organized a glee club by its students ; at first the club played only at college entertainments and other minor affairs, but gradually its fame became widespread and the club traveled from city to city in Northern W. Va., Western Penna., and Southern Ohio. Contempor- ary with this was a similar clul) organized by the ladiesof the school. T hese two organizations did much to make the name of the college famous and promote loyaltv and enthusiasm among the students. But through the leaving of some of the meml ers, lack of interest and want of leadership, the two clubs dis- banded, and for many years the college has suffered from a death of that art which hath charms to soothe the savage ear, and makes the board of trustees supply deficiencies in funds to pay for borrowed instruments and professional copies of sheet music. During the last session, several efTorts were made to organize an orchestra but they did not materialize an orchestra until the 22nd of November, 1904, when a meeting was held at the home of E. C. Jobes. . t this meet- r,2 ing L. W . Barclay was appointed manager and J. ' . Underwood, president of the organization, while E. I. Jobes was niaile leader and E. C. Jobes assistant leader of the orchestra. The management has been very successful in securing the services of several experienced and skillful mu- sicians. The members are as follows : Messrs. E. I. and E. C. Jobes, respectively leader and assistant leader; at one time holding similar positions in the Columbus Operatic Orchestra. J. W. Underwood, trombone, formerly leader and trombone soloist of the Union City, Ohio, band. Geo. N. Saurwein, second violin, ex-member of the famous Mozart Orchestra of Paulding, Ohio. L. D. fiercer, formerly cornet soloist of the Bowling Green Military Band. H. H. Gordon, who for five years was trap drummer of Rausch ' s Orchestra of Steubenville, Ohio.

Treasurer EFFIE BISHOFF. INCE RELIGION hohls such a high place in the worki it is only natural that a religious organization should hold a high place. Hence we understand why the Young Women ' s Christian Association ranks high. Aljout ten years ago the girls felt a need of s])iritua! de ' elopnient, and accordingh ' the Y. ' . C. A. was organized. This association, although weak at first, has successfvdly triumphed over all obstacles and is now among the strongest factors in the college. At first its meetings were held every other week, then be- cause the meetings were so helpful they are held every week. The last two years we have held a fifteen-minute prayer service each morning. Once a month the Y. M. and Y. AV.. C. A. unite and hold a very helpful meeting. The Association has raised money for the state work and has alwavs responded cheerfully and liberally whenever a plea has come for money. Last spring we sent a delegate to Asheville, North Carolina, and also one this winter to Charleston, W. Va. We received favorable and helpful reports from each of these and wj are looking forward to sending a delegate to Asheville this sjiring. The aim of the Y. W. C. A. is to put the girls in closer touch with Christ and one another. We strive to meet the new girls with a cheerful smile and friendly hand clasp and thus drive away home-sickness. Many girls have gone out from onr midst to fill important places in the world and do lots of good and we trust that many more may go out with the same aim. Surely with such a noble purpose and helpful motto, we ought to be able to accomplish great things. 65 YOUNG MEN ' S CHRISTIAN ASSOCIATION. Local Motto, Ye arc the light of the world.

THE PERFECT MAN is a perfect square witli each side evenly developed and standing four square to everv wind that blows. Jesus increased in wisdom, the intellectual man; in stature, the physical man ; in favor with God, the spiritual man ; and in favor with man, the social man. There is no work nor organization within the College which is more important or which shoidd receive more hearty support than the student Y. M. C. A. The college days are the days of character build- ing. It is chiefly here that the habits are formed which go with a person throughout life. The student associa- tion should be interested and in fact, lead in all the college life, in athletics as well as in the social life, and in the intellectual development; but its great work is soul development, looking after the spiritual interest of the student, as that is the most easily ' and most generally neglected b} ' other agencies. The Y. M. C. A. of Bethany was organized in November, 1891. From the first this organization was an in- fluential agency in the life of the College and the surrounding country. For some time an evangelization com- mittee conducted Sunday Schools and organized churches in adjoining neighborhoods. These points are still ministered to by members of the Association. We have been represented at the following Y. M. C. ■ ' . gatherings: Student Conference, 1903, Lakeside, Ohio; International Convention, 1904, Buffalo, N, Y. ; Student Conference, 1904, Lakeside, Ohio; Bible Insti- tute, 1905, }iIorgantown, W. Va. ; State Convention, 1905, Fairmont, W. ' a. Last fall two new phases of work was started : A mission study class for both gentlemen and ladies is being con- ducted under the auspices of the Association, with Mrs. A. R. Bourne, a competent and enthusiastic missionary leader, as teacher. We are also conducting weekly Bible study classes under the leadership of J. W. Underwood. During this year several young men have been led to sign the declaration card of the student volunteer movement for Foreign Missions. Our Association has representati -es in at least two mission fields, Philippine Islands and Japan. 66 ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION. President F. M. LONGANECKER. Vice President H. F. BROWN. Gen.

' ATHLETICS AT BETHANY are controlled by an athletic association, composed of a body of mem- bers to which all students are eligible. The association, by means of an initiation fee imposed upon all its members, obtains funds for the support of all branches of athletics. The funds are divided proportionately between football, baseball, and general athletics. Tennis and basketball are included r.nder the latter. Once a 3 ' ear, generally near commencement, a day is devoted to field sports. This Feld Day IS held under the auspices of the . thletic Association. 68 FOOTBALL. Football is essentialh the preeminent American College sport. And why shouldn ' t it ])c in these days of strenuous life? Every American College, of to-clay, which makes any pretence towards athletics, fosters and supports football as an ideal form of sport, and it is fast gaining the ascendency over all other forms of athletics. There must be some cause for the interest and popularity of this sport. Excitement is one cause for its hold •on the public. America as a nation, is very fond of excitement, and football is the very acme of excitement. The training that a man. goes through to become a memjier of a football team, greatly benefits him. The muscles are hardened and enlarged, the lungs arc strengthened and expanded, and the temper curbed. One learns to think and act quicklv and accurately; he learns how to protect himself from danger and how to bear punishment when it is received. Above all, he learns the value of concentrated eft ' ort, conservative energy, and combined force. FOOTBALL TEAM 1904. Captain C. S. WELLS-AV. V. SHANNON. Coach SHRONTZ. Manager . Wearers of the B.

' eball is handicapped at Bethany on ' account of training facilities and support: but despite all this, we occupy a very prominent place in the baseball world in this section of ' the country.

Tennis at Bfethany is a very popular sport and is used as a means of exercise and recreation by both the boys and the fair co-eds. It seems to be of great benefit to those aiTected with the prevaihng disease at Beth- any ' known as biz. Its doses are prescribed according as the length of the case ; those who have it in the early stage, play from seventy-five to a hundred sets, without intermission ; while those who have it bad. play one set then rest under the shade of some sheltering tree for the rest of the day. All who have tried it seem to have been greatly benefitted. 74 yHT£C2 Tan20US THE COLLEGIAN. Published Monthly by the Neotrophian and American Literary Societies. HAR EY F.

F. KELTCH ANNA KEMP PEARL SAYLOR ( Y. M. C. A. LECTURE COURSE. O-XK UI- THE most lu-lpful and at the same time one of the most enjoyable things in one ' s college life IS the opportiniity of seeing- and liearing some of the best talent on the platform to-day. We are in- debted to the committee appoints by the V. M. C. . . for an unusually good course during the past year. It has been no small factor in making the year ' s work pleasant and enjoyable. The first number was a concert on the evening of October tenth, by the Netz Sisters Quartette of Toledo Ohio. This was the first appearance of this Quartette before a Bethany audience and theTr auditors were de- lighted with them. On the evening of November fourteenth we had the rare opportunity of listening to an entertainment by .lessrs. Rogers and Grilley. Mr. Rogers is a harpest of the very highest rank. Nothing that would surpass it has ever been heard in Bethany. .Mr. Grilley is one of the cleverest entertainers of his time. Every number that he gave was a masterpiece. The last number of the fall course was a lecture by Dr. Wallace Tharp, of Allegheny, on One Night in Babylon. on December fifteenth. Dr. Tharp had been in Bethany before and had ' so won the hearts of his audience that they wanted to hear him again. There can he no better evidence than this of a man ' s success as a lecturer. Tlie first number in the series for the winter term was an entertainment Ijy Elias Day on January nine- tecntli. It is a rare thing for an entertainer to so completely captivate his audience as did Mr. Day. As an impersonator, .Mr. Day is without a peer in this country to-day. Who that has ever heard him will ' forget the Jew talking over the telephone or the speech of the Kentucky Colonel before the Chicago court? The second number in the winter course was given on the evening of February twenty-second, by the Amphion Male Quartette. It is always a delight to listen to a male quartette and this was no exception to the rule. The closing number was a lecture by Frank Dixon on Ajjril twenty-first. Mr. Dixon was here two years ago and the increased attendance showed how thoroughly he was appreciated. Mr. Dixon has a pleasing and forceful personality and his lectures always carry conviction to the hearts of his hearers. The committee wdio made the arrangements for the course were W. Garnett Winn, J. W. Underwood, and F. M. Longanecker, and the student body is g rateful to them for their services. 77 ORATORICAL ASSOCIATION. T HE BETHANY COL ' LEGE Oratorical Association is composed of the members of the American Lit- I erary laistitute, the Neotrophian and Adelphian Literary ' Societies. The local Association is a mem- M ber of two injter-collegiate associations, viz. : The West Virginia Inter-Collegiate Oratorical Asso- ciation and The Tri-State Inter-Collegiate Oratorical Association of Western Pennsylvania, Ohio, and West Virginia. Two contests are held each year to choose orators to represent Dethanv in the contests held by the above associations. The first contest was held on the evening of March 2nd. Mr. Henry Procter won first place and Mr. Ben Johnson won second place. Mr. Procter represented Hethany in the State contest on April 27th, at Clarksburg, W. Va. The second contest was held on the evening of April 14th. In this contest the first place was won by Mr. f. W. Yoho, who represented the Adelphian .Society, and Mr. V. L. King, representing N. L. S.. won second [jlace. The Tri-State contest this year will take place on Ma}- gth, at Muskingum College, New Concord, Ohio. The contest next year will be held at Bethany and it is hoped that ever) ' loyal student will put forth his best ef- forts to see that the laurel crown shall be placed on the brow of one of our own number. 79 OCTOBER DAYS AT OLD BETHANY. THERE is a high carnival in the woods around Old Jlcthany ; CJctober is abroad on the hills, working her dream spell of Indian Summer. You, who. at this season make up the crowded cities ' strenuous life, are watching some priests of Pallas; some pageant of Veiled Prophets, perhaps, sweeps through our streets. Leave that tinsel show and come with me. Mind, though, you must brin,g the listen- ing ear and heart. Come into the tpiiet of tliis little Switzerland of ours, and I will slmw you that which will shame vour gaudv street parade, and make } ' ou disavow its charms. Here are the true Priest of Pallas in Na- ture ' s haunts! The veiled Prophets are with us among these hills, where the sunshine, regretful, half tearful, watches, through the vale of blue dim air, the slow death march of the leaves. Death march, did I say-? nay; rather, the pomp of things inunortal : a procession of changeless, yet ever changing, life along the hills. You hear the drum beat and the clash of brazen horns in your city pageant, as the clamorous echoes resound from iron girded skyscrapers and frowning battlemen ' .s of trade, and you fancy vou ha ' e heard the music in its swav and power. Piut come out into the October fields. There it ' s a solemnitv in the autumn ritual of the hills like that of some mighty cathedral rolling choir. Prophets of life and death. Are face to face in the .glorious antiphonal chant of the closing ear. Nature seems now given over to some vast orchestral p;rforn-.ance, with color for tones and dim spiral lights of autumn skies for mellow cadences. Yonder sloping hill side over castlemans run, lying in the western sunlight, seems leading the mighty coral. Do you not catch the sonorous rythm of those rich red oaks it drops into the shadow below? A deep bass of the organ swells in majestic measure from the glowing wine-red of the branches: soft, piping altos, in steady undertone of brov nin,g elm an l sycamore and sage, silvered willow, min- gle with the clear, resonant tenor strain of the vivid horse chestnut in its full orange and green ; on the heights there, above, the soprano shouts from that clump of maiiles, whose ,gay branches seem to have garnered all the warm hue of the June sunshine in their radiant .gold and are now flin.ging it forth, a dying swan-son.g to the vanished summer. Below, soft minors are blendin.g through brown shrubs and pur])le wild-briar, while the greening heart-song of moss and fern croons alon.g the water ' s ed.ge. Now, throu.gh dead of denuded corn fields, the color tone grows thin and bleeding, to lose itself at last in the svncope of the pines. Rut yonder! here! a clamor of wild bacchanals breaks in from the scarlet sumach as it mounts from ledge to led.ge in some new Orphean chase alon.g the ravine. 80 Thus ilay after day, the niiisie of my autumn symjihony goes on ; more subtle than the snl)Hme choruses of Ehjah or the hquid harmony of the Xinth Symphony; now rising, now falhng with Hghts of sunrise and evening, now dropping through tearful minors into pauses with the night. Who knows but some spirit Mendels- sohn, some glorified Beethoven, is directing the mighty dream-fugue about the hills — translating for us the finer harmonies of that spirit sphere into the radiant glor)- of ( )ctober woods and streams and skies? To the Grcal ; aster of all harmony there may be a keener, more subtle rhapsody for the soul, in hue and color, and vanish- ing tints of air, than can be uttered bv the tones of music. .Mendellssohn saw Nature in terms of music. He once made a jiiurne - through northern Scotland, under its cold skies, among the sombre pines, its fog wreaths and misty mountain tops, and on his return his sister asked him to describe what he had seen. He replied by improvising his impressions in music. How many people, who have listened to the Hebrides Overture, realize that Scotland, cloud-bathed and solemn, lying in her northern ocean, girt with singing pines, is the soul imbedded in that powerful mino composition? The coming of morning on the hills about Old Bethany is a scene that will linger in the memory as a jov for future years. I have known Americans to cross the ocean to witness scenes of similar beauty. Travelers through the Alps scorii the discomforts of earlv rising in the chilly morning air, and, drapping the drapery of their couch about them — some heavy bed blanket — they sally forth in scores to witness the sunrise on the Rigi. Here at Old Bethanv, I step to my east window, throw open the casement, and, seated in my own easy arm chair, behold a brilliance of sunrise beautv scarcely to be surpassed by the Rigi itself. It is si.x o ' clock in the morning. All the fellowship of the hills is waiting; dim, shaggy forms are beginning to outline themselves against the twilight of the coming day. High up the gray slope of heaven that fashing- outrider, the morning star, is leading the brilliant cortege of light, and directing the rites of dawn. A leaden bank of clouds has gathered behind the trees that shelter the I.one (;ra -e, on that hill yonder; a line of fire now begins to burn along the edges; deeper and deeper grows the hue of the flame; higher and higher it pierces the surrounding sky until now a trembling disk of burning crimson quivers as with life behind the restless branches. Soon, the prodigal sunrise has given of its glory until the sky almost to the zenith is one luxurious expanse of vermillion. Statelv embassies, in slow procession of cloud-barges, sweep past, now pausing, now stooping in obeisance, now melting away in light. A mighty hymn of coronation, felt, but not heard, is throb- bing all about us as the rolling and crowning of the new day goes on its vast minster of the sky. 8t ' -n, T ! ' ' ' T; ' ' ' ' ! ' !

( )ver the unsteady billows of mist rise the crests of the hdls hke slands on a spectral ocean, while along their silver margins, and out in the shadowy tide he whole fleets of anchored tree tops, flying the autumn colors from their mastheads. Above this snowy shift ' nig scene of vapor the old college lifts its tower like a calm, unwearied sentinel, who for more than fift; ' years held unbroken yigd on the hills. With her rich Gothic facade, featured and staned by time and storm ' she has greeted for more than a half a century the same apoclyptic vision of connng dawn.

That the fool who keeps still may be taken for a man of sense? That many a boy keeps shady for fear of getting tanned? That a man with horse sense should know enough to sa} ' neigh? That if you can not have what you would like, yon should try to like what you have? That we would better trv being as good as we ad- vise others to be? That it is more difficult to train a miss than Ut miss a train ? That you would better cease growling about this world until you find a better one? That it isn ' t what you have, but what von don ' t want that will make } ' OU happ) ' ? That hard water may be made soft by adding soda, and soft water becomes hard bv freezin,g? That a hundred men can only make a camp, whil ■ it takes a woman to make a home? That while some people are free with their opin- ions, you will never find a professional photographer giving his views for nothing? They ' ve found the bug That eats the bug That fights the bug That l)itcs us ; They ' ve traced the germ That kills the germ That chews the germ That smites us. They know the bug That knifes the bug That stabs the bug That jabs us ; They ' ve seen the germ That hates the germ That biffs the germ Tlji| nabs us. They ' ve chained the bug That bolts the bug That jolts the bug That bings us ; They ' ve got the germ That gulps the germ That nips the .germ That stings us. 97 They hold the bug Ihat scolds the bug That told the bug To pinch us ; Thej ' chase the germ That helps the germ That cheers the germ To clinch us. They ' ve struck the bug That slays the bug That flavs the bug That sticks us ; They ' ve jailed the germ That guides the germ That taught the germ To fix us. But still these bugs— Microbic thugs — In spite of drugs Combat us ; And still these germs — Described in terms Inspiring squirms — Get at us. An Essay. A boy was compelled by his teacher to write an essay on the mouth for the school discipline, and this was what he said : Your mouth is the front door of 3 ' our face ; it is the aperture to the cold storage of your anatomy. Some mouths look like peaches and cream ; some look like a hole in a brick wall to admit a new door or window. The mouth is the crimson aisle of your li- er; it is jiatriotism ' s fountain, and the tool-chest for pie. Without a mouth the politician wfould be a wanderer on the face of the earth and go down in an unhonored grave. It is the grocer ' s friend, the orator ' s pride and the dentist ' s hope. It puts some men on the rostrum and some in jail. It is the temptation ' s lunch counter wdien attached to a man. Without it married life would be like a summer dream, and a dude would lose his attraction. 98 Some New Expressions. Hush Money — Cash paid for soothing syrvip.

ALEXANDER CAMPBELL, founder and first President of Bethany College, was born in county Antrim, Ireland, September I2th, 1788, and died at Bethany, West Virginia, ' larch 4th, 1866. In com- ing to America with his mother and family in 1808, they were shipwrecked off the coast of Scotland, and being mercifullj ' preserved from a watery grave, made their way to Glasgow, where Mr. Camp- bell entered the LIniversity and pursued his studies until August, 1809, when they again embarked for New York, reaching that port in October, from whence the) ' proceeded to Philadelphia, and on over the mountains to Wash- ington, Pa,, where the father, Thomas Campbell, had located in 1807, and made for them a home. Here Mr. Campbell read and studied the Bible, and dedicated bis life to the ministry and service of Christ, preaching his first sermon in July, 1810, in a grove near Washington, from Matthew vii 124 : Whosoever heareth these sayings of mine and doeth them, I will liken him unto a wise man, which built his house upon a rock ; and surely he did build upon a rock, and that rock was Christ. Dr. Richardson beautifully says in his Memoirs, it was appropriate that he who was destined to call men away fnjm human plans and systems should deliver his first discourse, not in an - sectarian temple or place of worship built by human hands, but in the open air of free American and beneath the overarching trees which God had planted. The first year of his ministerial labors (which began before he was twenty-two years old), he preached 106 sermons, and later on, when land was pur- chased at Brush Run on which to build the first church of the Disciples, beneath a wide-spreading oak, he preached the first discourse ever delivered at Bru.sh Run, from Job vii 17 : Though thy beginning was small, yet thy latter end should greatly increase, which was a singularly appropriate and jjhrophetic text, since from that little band of Disciples, numbering only a few souls, there are to-day more than a million communicants, strong in the faith once delivered to the Saints! In 181 1 he was married to Miss Margaret Brown, of B rooke County, Virginia, and from that date became a citizen of this State. He continued to preach at home and abroad, always presenting the plea for Primitive Christianity, upon the claims of the Bible, and the Bible alone. In 1818 he founded Buffalo Seminary, for the education of the vouth of the country. In 1823 he began the publication of the Christian Baptist, which in- creased in circulation until in 1830 it was merged into the Millenial Harbinger, of which he was editor-in-chief for 34 3 ' ears. Bv his first marriage hehad eight children, and after the death of his beloved wife in 1827, he mar- ried, in 1828, jNIiss Selina Huntingdon Bakewell, of Wellsburg, who survived him thirty-one years. By this mar- riage he had six children, four of whom are yet living. In 1840 he founded Bethany College, and was its President for twentv-five years. L ' p to the close of his life it was dear to him as an own child, and its prosperity, and op- portunity for educating young preachers, to convert sinners, were ever uppermost and supreme in his good, great, grand and noble heart. log WILLIAM K. PENDi-ETON. WILLIA I KIMBROUGH PENDLETON was bom in Louisa county, X ' lrginia, September 8th, 1817, He was educated at the University of Virginia, where he completed an elective course in classical, scientific and philosophical studies and was also graduated from the law school. In 1840 he was admitted to the bar, but soon after, in 1841, having married a daughter of Alexander Campbell, he removed to Bethany to take part in the founding of Bethany College. He was Professor of Natural Science and Astronomy, and later divided with Professor Loss the classes of the ministerial course. After the burning of the first College building in 1857, he accompanied Alexander Campbell through the west and south, soliciting founds for the erection of the present building. He had been for some years Vice President of the College. On the death of Alexander Camplxdl, in 1866. he l ccame President, and during the many years of financial distress, dating from the civil war, which crippled the work to which he was devoted, he also filled the difficult and laborious office of Treasurer. He was associate editor of the ' Alillenial Harbinger from its be- ginning, and was for some years associated in the e litorship of the Christian Standard. Amid these labors he found time for much preaching, for much tra ' eling and a large c irresi)ondence in the interests both of the Col- lege and the Church ; and to prepare and deliver addresses in behalf of almost every public interest. In 1876, as a result of a movement begun by the teachers of the state, he was elected Superintendent for a term of four years. During this period he gave to the labor of reducing to method the practical workings of a school system that he found in imperfect order, ever} ' moment that could be taken from the occupations of an al- ready busy life. Dr. Pendleton has Ijeen thrice married; in 1840 to Malvin iM., and in 1847 ' o Clarinda, both daughters of Alexander Campbell, and in 1855 to Catherine H., daughter of Judge L. King, of Warren, Ohio, In 1887. re- tiring from active service in Bethanv College, he removed with his wife and younger children to Eustis, Florida, where he now resides. PERCY BAYARD COCHRAN. PI-.RCY BAYARD COCHRAX was l)orn in Uniontown, Pa.. October loth, 1879. Me prepared for col- lege at the Uniontown High School and at Redstone Academy, also of Uniontovvn. In the antnmn of i8g6 he entered Bethany College as a Freshman in the Classical (A. B.) Course, and graduated with his class in June, kjoo. While at Bethany he was a member of the Neotrophian Literary Society, taking an active part. In fraternity matters, he is allied with Beta Theta Pi and Theta Nu Epsilon. The summer following graduation (lyoo) was spent in European travel, and U])on his return in September of that year, Air. Cochran entered the Junior Class of Yale Uni ersit - (Academical Department). He was grad- uated from ale with the degree of A.il. in June, iyo2, and spent the succeeding summer in the ISethany Col- lege Summer School, where he had charge of the English Department, himself teaching the classes in Shakes- peare, Tennyson and Browning. At the Bethany College Commencement of igo2 he had conferred upon him the degree of M.A. for work done in the Yale Graduate School and upon his submission to Bethany ' s Faculty of a thesis in Comparative Literature entitled English Dramatic Poesy. In the autumn of igo2 Mr. Cochran took up the studv of law in the office of his father, Mr. M. A[. Cochran, Bethan -, ' 75, and was admitted to the bar in Fayette Count}-, Pa., in November, 1903. Since his admission he has rapidly gn.iwn in the profession, and has ac |uired a gijod practice in the civil courts, having as clients a number of corporations which keep him busy. The summer of 1904 was also spent in Eur(,ipe, most of it Ijcing devoted to study in German) ' . Mr. Cochran claims B ' ethany as his home of bonus. It was here that his father, while a student, met Aliss Emma Whitsett, the daughter of Dr. lames E. A hitsett, at one time of the Bethany Faculty, and for years a Trustee. After his father ' s graduation and admission to the bar. Miss Whitsett became Mrs. M. M. Cochran, and the subject of this sketch is the first born of that union. Hence young Mr. Cochran can assign good rea- sons for his devotion to his Alma ] Iater and to evcrvtbing P ethaniensian. ' C GEORGE B. EVANS. GEORGE B. EVANS was born in Davenport, Iowa, October 26, 1S78, and early moved to Omaha, Ne- braska, the present home of his parents. He nnited with the Christian chnrch in Omaha during T. E. Craniblet ' s pastorate at the above place. Mr, Evans graduated from the School of Evangelists in 1899, and entered Bethany the same fall. The first two 3 ' ears in college he preached for tlie West Middletown, Pa., church, and the last year for the Chapel Hill only four miles distant from the college town. He graduated in ' 02 and post-graduated in ' 03. Immediately after graduation he accepted a call to Fairview, W. Xa... where he is now finishing his third year ' s pastorate. At present he is Secretary and Treasurer of the West A ' irginia Ministerial Association. In lime, 1903, Mr. Evans married Mrs. Lida Naylor Wells, of Bethany. 5 CHARLES PARKS H E IM DE R SHOT. CHARLES PARKS HENDERSHOT was born in the city of Cleveland, Ohio, August 31, 1853. He was educated in the public schools of East Cleveland township. For five 3 ' ears he was out of school and then entered Bethany College, February 2, 1S74. Fie was a member of A. L. L, Adelphian, and Beta Theta Pi. He graduated cum laude in June, 1874. di-livcriug the Latin adih ' css. He then went ti:) Mishawaka, Ind., as pastor of the Christian church of that place, which pastorate he held for five -ears. In 1885 he went to southern Kansas, where he engaged in teaching and preaching for some twelve years, finally devoting all of his time to the work of the school room, yet always an earnest worker in the church, and filling pulpits of the vari- ous churches in his localitv very yacceptablv. In 1897 he returned to Cleveland and took up the work of teach- ing, establishing Heudershot Academv, a preparatory school for boys. In this work, in which he is now en- gaged, he has been eminently successful, as his various patrons will testify and the future of his school looks very promising. Mr. Heudershot is a real Bethany Boy, and no one who wears the name of Bethany, as his Alma Nlater. be he from near or far, need hesitate to call upon him and may be sure, in advance, of a most hearty and cordial welcome. 7 FRANK J.
