M, To thee, as a token of our esteem, friendship and love, for thy loyalty to old Bethany, thy devotion to duty, and unselfish interest manifested in our welfare, this volume is respectfully subscribe d. SeCliMr. JN March, 1905, Mr. Andrew Carnegie agreed to give to Betliany College $20,000 tor the construc- tion of a library building. The gift was conditioned on the trustees raising an equal amount to be added to the general endowment of the College. The trustees promptly accepted this offer, and the canvass for funds was inaugurated. Cash and good notes amounting to about $1C,000 have been secured, and verbal promises, which, it is believed, are trustworthy, have been ob- tained to cover the remaining $4,000. We are, however, continuing the canvass, and this effort will not cease until the entire $20,000 in cash is in hand. Friends of the College desiring to have part in this should notify the President, who will be glad to furnish any additional infor- mation desired. The Executive Committee of the Board of Trustees has received and examined completed plans and specifi- cations, submitted by three architectural firms. After much deliberation C. C. and A. I. Thayer, of New Castle. Pa., were chosen architects. The completed specifications of these architects are now in the hands of five reliable contractors. The contract for the erection of the building was let on February 1, 1906. The building will be constructed of brown pressed brick, with stone trimmings. The face brick will be made in Toronto, Ohio. It is proposed to make the other brick in Bethany, within a few feet of the site of the library. All the brick used — constructing the College building and Phillips Hall — were made from the clay excavated from the foundations. The library will be 95 feet long and 45 feet wide. There will also be in the back of the building an IS-foot circular exten- sion, to form a part of the book or stock room. The first floor will be made into a large auditorium or banquet room. It will have connected with it a well equipped kitchen. The auditorium will have a seating capacity equal to our former Commencement Hall. On the second floor, which will be entered on a level with the ground in front of Phillips Hall, there will be a stack room, large enough to hold fifty thousand volumes. There will be in front of this stack room a lobby 18x24 feet and on either side of this a reading room. These reading rooms will be 45x35 feet. The third floor, reached by stairs from a second lobby in front of the first, will be divided into four splendid lecture, or class, rooms. The building is to be finished in oak throughout, and in all respects will be highly ornamental as well as serviceable. It will be located about two hun dred feet in front of Phillips Hall, and will be conspicuous from the pike and all the surrounding country. The cut on the opposite page gives a farlly good idea of the exterior of the building. Work will begin in the spring, as soon as the weather will permit, and it is ex- pected that it will be completed in September in time tor the opening of our next session. •5Ktrcti Likdtx LIBRARY BUILDING.

We recognize the fact that some will look upon our work with optimistic eyes and see only the humor, wit and wisdom found therein ; while others will peruse our feeble efforts with eyes of the pessimist and see only the glaring mistakes which we have overlooked in our anxiety to be true to all and false to none. However, we, the editors, have tried to be true to our trust, have put forth our best efforts and have done the best we could. What more could angels have done ? Hence, our work is finished, we have no apologies to offer, we have recorded the facts as we found them, have placed before some a mirror that they might see themselves as others see them and have added some pleasantries to break the monotony of cold,- cruel facts. If we have recorded those things that prove to be thorns in the flesh, we are sorry. If what you find on the following pages makes you happy, we are indeed glad. Thus we place into your hands this volume which we hope will ever be the means of keeping fresh in your memory the happy hours spent at old Bethany during the session of ' o5- ' o6. Go, little booklet, go, Bearing an honored name, Till everywhere that you have went They ' re glad that you have came. o o P O H X H Jail ®rrm. 1905 Sept. 19 — Fall Term begins.

Quietly they came and quietly they remained — for a short time — but President Cramblet noticed all their wisdom and knowledge and pondered it in his heart. And it came to pass as the days passed quietly by. behold, one day there was a sound heard as the voice of one crying in the distance, Help, help. and at the same time multitudes of wise people appeared on the corridor proudly wearing old rose and white. Soon a weak voice was heard to say, Whence cometh these people, and whence their wisdom and wherefrom their col- ors? Next a gieat sound was heard as the clashing together of an enemy against an enemy, but this lasted for only a short time tor soon the Juniors, for this wag the name of those crying in the distance, were down and these wise men or Freshmen were victorious by waving their colors o ' er the wounded bodies of their enemies, the .Juniors. Thus endeth their first triumph, but a greater one was lying in wait for them. When the day for the P ' resh- nien entertainment came to pass, behold, the Sophomores and Juniors were standing everywhere, keenly watching pninr OIlaHa ||tatnrg ' Dfi (EontXnuth for a captive, when lo, a dove decended from above proudly bearing old rose and white, and hovered o ' er their heads. During this excitement many of the performers of the evening gained their way, through great tribulation, into Chapel Hall and were there safe guarded by the Seniors and their Freshmen brothers and sisters. It hap- pened that the Sophomores succeeded in capturing a couple of our performers, but ere the evening was over they were glad to set them free and joyfully the prisoners hastened to take their places among the brave and strong, so thus with a pleasing entertainment, we ended our reign as freshmen. As we advanced in wisdom and favor with God and man, we gained our places as Sophomores and then later as Juniors. At this time we put away childish things and began to feel our importance in the world. Again and again did we assert authority and keep the Freshmen witiiin their limits. When the days of Junior orations were at hand, we proudly took our places where other great men have stood and did full justice to dear old rose and white. When the President regarded us and felt the power of our wisdom, he admitted us into the Senior courts, and thus we stand before you now. And there are also many other things which we did, the which if they should be writ- ten would more than fill this book, but this one thing we do. forgetting the things that are behind, we press en to that great day when President shall say, Ye have persevered long and faithfully, ye have kept my rules, ye have digged deep into the wells of learning, and now it doth behoove me to give unto thee thine sheepskin. Take that which is thine own and rejoice and be exceeding glad, for thou art worthy of thy reward. Go ye therefore into all the world and be as shining stars for old Bethany. Ere we leave we would say to those who are to come after us, Be ye therefore patient, steadfast, grumble not at the bridge which Caesar would have ye build, slight not the geometrical propositions that are given thee, fear not when men and Professors shall criticise thy feeble attempts at oratory. But ever strive to uphold the staiidard of your predecessors. And as a parting word, we say to the Freshmen, Lo, we are with you alway. To the Sophomore, Be not wise in your own conceit. To the Juniors, Him that hath ears, let him hear. To the Faculty, Thou has done what thou couldst. — Elsie Oreg j Watkins, ' 06. p n t r f m ? Where the Buffalo is flowing, Along its banks so green, On a hill with flowers blowing, Bethany is seen; There the hearts of youth and maiden Thrill as they move Mid the halls of dear old Beth ' ny The hollowed spot they love. Our college days will soon be ended And we must part; But as long as life ' s extended, Still in the heart Praise shall be for Alma Mater While life shall last, Roaming far o ' er life ' s broad water, True to the last. Years have flown and from her portals Strong hearts have gone To stem the world ' s great strife ' gainst mortal! Till the prize is won. Some still struggle bravely onward In the battle ' s strife; Some have vanished, gathered homeward To immortal life. Fare thee well then dear old Beth ' ny, A sad, sad farewell; Yet thy glorious fame to others We will ever tell. Then when earthly life is ended There before the throne May to thee be still the glory That we ' ve entered home. -A. H. Jordan.

(♦Deceased) Nfrrology NLY three times in the history of our College has death claimed members of the student body. On May 3, 1906, at 7 130 A. M., Elmer Dan Mercer died at the home of Mrs. Frank Main after a short illness of only two weeks ' duration. The doc- tors said that Elmer had appendicitis, whatever it was, it was severe enouf h to remove from our midst one whom we had learned to love for his genial nature, generous hand and gracious heart. He was born at Bowling Green, Ohio, Sept. 12th, 1884, and had been a student here in Bethany College for the last four years, and by diligent study had advanced steadily and was finishing his junior year when he was called home to the Father above. He was a member of the Beta Theta Pi fraternity, the Neotrophian Literary Society, and a leader in all enterprises charged with college spirit. Good bye, Elmer, we hated to see you go, your vacant place in the Mystic Circle, on the Campus and in the class room will ever remind us of the many happy hours spent together, but God knows best, so we, with bowed heads and broken hearts cradle our sorrows in souls made strong by our faith in Him who doeth all things well. JUNIOR CLASS. i a t r ij of 01 1 a b of 190? N a bright September day in tlie year 1903, there was ushered into the classic halls ot Bethany a brave band of students, who, as the fates have decreed, are destined to conquer. After the days of homesickness had passed away and this noble class had returned from the holiday vacation, the monotony ot College life was broken by the sound of Sophomore shouts and Junior trumpets. The report was abroad that the Freshmtn were going to organize. Despite the attempts of their warlike opponents to prevent it, the or.ganizatiou was made and under the glorious colors of purple and white, the Freshman class marched forth to battle. Pleasantly rose next morn, the sun on the village of Beth ' ny; Pleasantly gleamed in the soft sweet air the top ot the tower; Where our flag with its wavering colors, was floating in triumph. This was a daring deed and when the Sophomores and Juniors saw it, they surrendered without a battle. For a few months after this everything was quiet in class circles until the time came tor the Freshmen to give the entertainment that won for them renown in the literary world. Once more the sound ot marshallin.g of iforces was heard. It was the Freshman army going forth to protect the performers for the evening entertainment. The leader collected his forces on Pendleton Heights, and when the commands were given, forward! double quick! charge! the Freshmen, thirty strong, dashed through the ranks of the assembled Sophs and Juniors, who attempted I tslnry of QIUaB of isnr (E a n t i ti u f to blacken the faces of the valiant youths who were to act. A battle ensued, which proved to be the second victory for the illustrious class, for all of the actors reached chape) and were soon prepared to render a splendid program. More victories were won in this year not only in the physical world but also in the mental world, for the class had caught the meaning of Verum omnia vincit, and through this they conquered. The Freshman year closed and when they returned to their work, the green freshies had become brilliant Sophs. The victories of this year were many but need not be told as they are heralded far and wide by all who watched the battles. Now with the experience of more than two years behind it, the class of 1907 still stands true to its motto. On the evening of the 18th of January the chapel showed forth the purple and white and the Juniors assembled to dis- play their oratory for the first time. With such power were these orations delivered that the Seniors bent the knee and acknowledged them to be excellent. Even the professors had words of commendation for the orations as a v hole. With all these victories gone past, there is good reason to believe that they are not all over, but that as long as a remnant of the class remains there will be victories. Soon the garb of the Senior will be taken by tliis class and then it will be seen that they can be First in peace as well as First in war. — R G. Manley. 31 u n t fl r High up on the scroll are the Juniors placed. And our colors how proudly they wave, We stand in the virtue of truth encased, Our hearts are ever so brave; Let old rose and white guard the senior ' s renown. Let Sophs wear their fine brown and blue. Let Freshmen feel green or gray o ' er the town. We ' ll ever to purple prove true. They tell us that class must well-rounded be And versed in all college arts; Now where in the whole wide world can you see A class so skilled in all parts? In contests we figure, we ' re always there, In scraps we stand at the front, In biz we strive for the lion ' s share. We cope with most any old stunt. Then here ' s to the class of 1907; Here ' s to five girls and boys eleven Who scrap mit den Freshmen for fun. So drink to this class e ' en the last bright drop; Drink health and wisdom sound; May each in our class find his place at the top. When out of the college mill ground. — Helen L. TiitftJei .

Hut i)assion and jiarty blind our eyes, and the light which expei ience gives is a lantern on the st ein wiiich siiines only on the waves lichind us. — Coleridge. ES, the Sophomore class of ' 06 has had a history which all Preps and Freshmen would do well to follow! But they, stiff-necked and unteachable, rush on in a blind way after the precedent of former Freshmen classes and heed not the light which would lead them safely and gracefully up to the honored place this class of ' 06 now holds! History is mainly a record of stru;j.E,les and conquests, victories and defeats from which great principles are drawn. Present history is a jumbled succession of events whose significance cannot be fully determined now, distance in time, as in space, being essential to bring out the dramatic points. We have now reached a prospectus; the past history of the Sophomores stands out clear and vivid, with its great turning points, its defeats and victories and their full significance and bearing on contempo- raneous hi story. Who has forgotten the day last year when the Sophomores and Juniors of ' 05 tried to push our Freshman band from the corridor? The memory of that strife vill live in our hearts as long as the corridor railing lies shat- tered, a silent but telling memento of the fierceness of the struggle, and of the Juniors ' broken promises! Why, even on that day the President of our institution. Dr. Cramblet, trying to act as mediator between those who tBtorg of g ' opiinmorp OIlaaH (jiantinupli should dwell together in peace and harmony, almost lost his oflicial and basal balance by the mad onrush of a cer- tain Junior who with coat pulled far up over his head and eyes had become no respecter of persons, but had ■jfipped the President with such a hold that only severe actions served to bring him to his senses. We are now no longer Freshmen, but the invincible spirit is ours yet. Such is our spirit, indeed, that we vDuld not stand idly by and see the Freshmen class of this year organize and pin on their colors. Having so lately donned the toga virilis of Sophism, we knew well all the tactics liliely to be used by those yet in green striped toga praetexta. and so outwitted them. Thus we knew when the class was to be organized, or such a proceeding attempted rather, and the boys of our class were on uand with firecrackers and pots of pepper. The Freshmen gathered first in the Mathematics room, but soon the atmosphere became too dense for their as yet un-pepper-seasoned throats and lungs, and a general movement was made for the Greek room. Here the same conditions were met with, and in addition a huge firecracker suddenly smashed through the windows aud ex- ploded under the feet of the very smallest of the Freshmen, causing him to jump prodigiously. The Sophomores paid for that broken window not only because President Cramblet insisted so earnestly, but also because they thought it a small sum in exchange for the opportunity of seeing Carter take that circular leap from the middle of the Greek room to the corridor. Some time after this the Freshmen colors were hung on the top of their tree on the campus and a group left to guard it. The Sophomores made an attack but we are fated to know only this much about it; that soon after tiie hostilities began, on account of an accident happening to one of the Sophomores the Freshmen declared a truce until his recovery; and although he was all right by the next day, never did they remember to declare it off! Thus what might have been one of the greatest of all class contests was avoided — but how? Future years will bring about our history as .Juniors, as Seniors, and may we all not only be loyal to the com- ing class of ' 08, but may we all be ready to pass out in the class of ' OS with a clean record and seventy-two credits! If perchance we may take into our ranks some discarded Junior or Senior, may we so enthuse him with our courage and victions that he may ever afterward keep pace with us; and may our class, after this year of sopho- moristic inflation descend to the work-a-day level and let the light of practical, earnest effort reflect back brightly upon succeeding classes. — If.

FRESHMAN CLASS. tstnr of iFrpBlimatt Qllasa 1 ITH glad hearts and happy laces, with visions of success and much victory, with hope of renown and expectation of overturning the world, the prospective ' 09 ' s made a triumphant debut into the realms of society of Bethany College. With longings for Home, sweet home and with disap- pointment in their eyes, they settled down to their allotted tasks, fearful of the fatal decree that all Freshmen should be hazed. Having been relieved of this apprehension, however, by the as- suring words of the President that their rights would be respected, they went into their work with a stronger determination. Affairs ran on very smoothly until one bright, frosty January day, when the Freshmen de- termined to organize their forces and check the constant encroachments of the Sophomores. Finally, after some difficulty, caused by those ill-mannered Sophs they succeeded in electing the following offi- cers. President, W. L. Linville; Vice President, T. B. Imhoff, Secretary, Henry Sherman; Treasurer, George Hunt, and Captain of the Campus, R. B. Dayton. Then, departing from the usual time-worn custom of Freshmen classes of wearing their colors, they decided to suspend the Red and White on the top of a conspicuous pine on the college campus at midnight. This event- ful night, January 26, came at last, cold and starless, and the sentinels wrapped in their blankets waited and shuddered as they thought of the approach of day. But, in the wee hours of the morning as they waited and watched the Sophs broke upon them with great shouts and tumult, but the Freshies did not flee, and like true brave soldiers stood thei r ground. All through the night they fought and today that banner still floats as a thrilling remembrance of the scene of conflict. And now, as a closing reminder, let us impart one word of advice to those who shall occupy this position in the future: Take this class for an example and defend your flag as bravely as did she and always remember the glorious class of 1909. — Clarence F.

L C s ryrr OLS. (§SBai nn ICitprarg ortptg work, but our motto HE Ossolian Literary Society owes its origin to tlie ambition of womanly women, who in eiglitfen hundred and eighty, when there were two societies in Bethany College both barring women from their rolls, assembled and decided that if they were to stand on an equal footing with men in other ways, it would be impossible, unless they should have the advantage of society worli. With this purpose in view our society was organized, and during our twenty odd years of existence we have been beset with difficulties, some of which seemed insurmountable, having to close our doors for two years, but from these trials we have come forth sparkling brighter and more firmly determined to conquer or die, and we have conquered. Our members this year are mostly new ones, and of course new material means harder the hatchet of the critic, the Are of ambition, and the zeal to accomplish what we have begun, thus living Age Quod Agis, has been refining this unpolished material until now it shines brighter than burnished gold, and love for Ossolia fills the heart of every Ossolian girl. Although our number is few, our program is filled each week, our attendance large, for we are attracting the attention of nearly every student in the school, and our desire to excel is fast increasing. Each year, on the eighteenth of March, we celebrate our anniversary by having an alumna deliver an address to us, after which we give either a banquet or reception. These gatherings draw us closer together and make us better friends in every way. For our flowers we have chosen the pink carnation, and for our emblem the crescent shaped pin with our name engraved thereon. May not our pin be emblematic of the moon which, when new, is in crescent form, but as it in- creases in age, grows fuller until it attains the perfect circle? May not our light, dim at first, grow brighter until we shall light the whole world? Then, when the alumnae of Bethany shall sing the praises of Old Alma Mater, in the same strain shall be sounded forth the glory of Dear Old Ossolia.

JOHNSON Secretary BERTHA Treasurer O. J. KLBBBERGER HEDDLESTON Wlien Betliany College was founded in 1841, a band of her loyal sons formed what was to become one of her well known correlative departments — the American Ijiterary Institute. Knowing full well the need and importance of society work in a well rounded college course, these young men drew up a constitution and by-laws fitted to give them the hard drill and steady training in practical writing and speaking that would prove of such great value in later life. The society was full of vim from the first and soon some of this life found expression in Lux descendit e caelo, written by C, P. Hendershot, one of the early members. Then the hall and corridor were ringing as thej ' do today with. As the mighty sea excels the brooklet of the mead, As the famous warrior all his soldiery doth lead, So we may excell our peers if this we only heed, Lux descendit e caelo. (E n n t i u u r Hurrah! Hurrah! resounds from shore to shore! Hurrah! Hurrah! proclaim it evermore! Pressing onward let us shout the great watchword of yore — Lux descendit e caelo. The Americans, indeed, have not only sought the truth; but they have sought it in the effulgent radiance of that light from above. They have not only been careful to neglect not the truth that is in them, but by concen- trated effort have added new truths to the world. Some time after girls were first admitted to the institution they were received into America ' s Hall, adding their touch of grace and refinement to the strong foundation already laid. Did not God place Adam and Eve in the garden? Just so are the Adam and Eve of our school helping each other in this training for life ' s duties. We could not spare either nor could the total work of both alone equal the work of the two combined. When a fire destroyed the library and society hall of the college building A. L. I. suffered a severe loss, her meeting hall and valuable private library being burned. Her present hall is not large but furnished tastefully in a color scheme of green. Heavy damaslv ctirtains shade the quaint narrow windows and a few classic pictures hang upon the wall with one Bethany scene, Shadow Bend, beautifully done in water colors, a gift in 1904 by Mr. Earl Wilfley, near the entrance door. A bust of Garfield stands on the platform just back of the well worn spot where the trembling Freshmen, the confident Sophomores or the earnest Seniors are wont to stand, encouraging all by the memory of his struggle to a position of honor. A. L. 1. is proud of her roll call of Alumni. All of the following, except a few dead ones, are holding various positions of honor and leaving their impress on the world about them: Charles Louis Loos, Alexander Proctor, IMoses E. Lard, A. W. Campbell, O. A. Burgess, Hugh McDiarmid, F. D. Power, R. H. Wynn, W. R. Warren, A. Mc- Lean, J. M. Trible, W. H. Woolery, C. J. Tanner, Robert Moffett. The lily of France may fade, The thistle and shamrock wither. The oak of England may decay, But America ' s stars shine on forever. — M.

WEAVER Treasurer November tlie 5tli, 1906, will lie the 56th anniversary ol the Neotroyhian Literary Society, Its beginning in 1S41 was inaugurated by a loyal baud of students whose aim was their own mutual develop- ment and the culture of the hundreds to come after them. The names of John W. McGarvey, Alex, Campbell, J, D, Picket, John K. Tener and T. F. Campbell must ever be bright upon the annals of Neotrophia as the pioneers v ho laid the foundations of this elevating institution. From its very inception N, L. S. forged ahead, Ijeing continuously in no wise behind the sister society, A. L. 1., organized a little later. To Neotrophia is not only the honor of being the oldest society in this historic college, but also of being the most popular among those counted as the oldest friends of the college. In the days gone by, when rivalry was stronger and competition was keener, each society vied with the other to secure the honors, N. L. S. was once the proud possessor of a very handsome banner of satin bearing the motto Quaerimus Verum and the name Neotrophia in golden letters. It was the gift of a number of the lady friends of the society. Many were the occasions when enthusiastic Neotrophians, bearing aloft their banner and wearing across their shoulders broad satin badges, paid some graceful tribute or made some pleasing welcome to the hon- ored president, Alexander Campbell. (C It t i n u r b It would be a long story to recount all the men who have passed through the halls of N. L. S. It would be a longer one to narrate all the powerful influences now being exerted in all parts of the world by graduated Neotro- phians. The past has been eventful, but the future auguis even greater things. The purpose of the founders of the society has been fulfilled in the large numbers of able speakers who have gone out into the world from our ranks. The present company composing the society promises to hold up the high ideals of the past. In all depart- ments of college work Neotrophians are prominent. The spirit of the organization tends toward leadership, and while all believe in a firm adherence to the constitution and by-laws, nevertheless there is a wholesome growing tendency of late to make the interpretation of the constitution more spiritual and less literal. As a result the note of progress has been sounded. New signs of growth have come, and N. L. S. has demonstrated her leadership by introducing into her work the cnlturing influences of vocal and instrumental music. She has been setting the pace for inter-society debates, and is maintaining among her members an intense desire for excellence in public speaking. Though Neotrophia boasts not of her numbers yet she is proud of the quality of her members, and when at different times new members of good material help to swell our ranks we feel that we can still endorse the chorus of our song and that we are indeed Onward, upward ever marching. Toward the truth we richly prize. ' Light descends. ' but Genius soars Where her constellations burn. And the stars of Neotrophia ' s glory rose. — ;. , . Doley.

It began its career of usefulness unrter the leadership of J. E. Pounds as president and Burris A. Jenkins as secretary. The society has placed its stamp upon such men as W. J. Wright, Professor Bowling, C. A. Hill, Charles Darsie, and ot hers. Membership in the society is not restricted to either sex. The only qualification required is that the candi- date for membership must be a professed Christian. There is no room in the society for drones. But to all who are willing to work a hearty welcome is given. Adelphians believe that success is the fruit of hard work and honest endeavor. The result of the last year ' s work has proven that their belief is built upon a solid foundation. The society ' s motto, Neglect not the gift that is in thee, speaks for its members. It voices their hope and determination for the future. (Enlora: llur anb fpUnui m usic Cl ul . Jfflmupr: mrllnta fJosc OFFICERS. GRACE HOWES President NELL EDWARDS.

IBplltang QloUpgp lanb an (irrl|patra L ' RING the session of iy03- ' 04 several attempts were made to organize an orchestra not onlv for the purpose of advertising ' the college but to vary the dull monotony of Junior and Senior orations with sweet music ; but every attempt resulted in a failure and no or- chestra materialized. Everyone became discouraged and felt that an orchestra for Beth- any College was one of those problems that was destined never to be solved. When college convened in September, 1904, there was one who felt that it was pos- sible to have an orchestra here and he redoubled his labors in that direction. Through the strenuous efforts of L. W. Barclay and a number of musicians who met at the home of E. C. Jobes on the evening of November 22, 1904, the organization was formed. (£ n t i n u f 6 At this meeting L. W. Barclay was elected manager. J. W. Underwood president, and E. I. Jobes, leader. Such was the birth of our orchestra, of which every student of Bethany College is now justly proud. Several trips were planned for the spring term, but unavoidable accidents intervening, the trips were postponed from time to time until it was finally too late to take them. However, that the student body might have an opportunity of hearing the orchestra and see the progress made since its organization, a con- cert was held in Chapel Hall on the evening of May 12. 1905. The Chapel was filled to overflowing and intersperced with readings, the orchestra entertained the audience in a most creditable manner for two hours. Thirty-eight dollars were realized from this concert which was spent in purchasing more instru- ments, which, of course, tended to place the organization on a more permanent basis. In the fall of 1905, seeing how .successful the orchestra was. plans were at once set on foot for organ- izing a band. Little trouble was experienced in landing this project, and in a very short time Bethany was boasting of a band in addition to her well equipped orchestra. Ed. Sullivan, of Steubenville, an accom- phshed and well known musician, was secured to lead the orchestra, while E. I. Jobes took charge of the band. During the fall and winter, at all inside entertainments the orchestra discoursed sweet music, and at all athletic games the band attracted much attention and astonished the hearers with the accuracy of their pla3 ' ing. At the beginning of the winter term lul. G. Casey was elected manager of both band and orchestra, to succeed H. H. Gordon, who resigned. Through his efforts jNIr. Frank Main, one of the trustees of the college, very generously agreed to furnish the band with uniforms. To say that the band appreciated his kindness would be stating it very mildly. To show their appreciation thev met one evening in front of Mr. ! Tain ' s home and serenaded him with some very beautiful selections. Mr. Casey has arranged a ser ies of trips through Ohio, West X ' irginia, and Western Pennsylvania to take place during the spring term. We feel that the band and orchestra have come to stay and hope that they will prosper in the years to come as thev have during the first ears of their existence. E. G. Casey.

ANNA KEMP President ELIZABETH GATTS Secretary HELEN MARSHALL Vice President GRACE HOWES Treasurer Happy is ttie woman tliat findetli wisdom and the woman that getteth understanding. It is more precious than rallies and all the things thou canst desire are not to be compared with it. What we girls are here at college for is not to obtain wisdom and understanding of material things only, but to develop womanhood of the highest type, that we may go out into the world and make it better. This is what we strive after in our Christian Association. During the past year the work has been very successful. Under the able leadership of our president the work was carefully planned and each girl made to feel her own individual responsibility. A devotional meeting is held every Wednesday evening and a fifteen-minute prayer service every morning be- fore breakfast. In these meetings the girls come together all on an equal and are helped and strengthened for their work. A Bible class meets every other Sunday afternoon for the study of the Bible. Its work has been found very profitable and successful. Once a month a joint meeting of the Y. W. and Y. M. is planned and together we have most helpful meetings, then, also a mission-study class meets once a week for its separate work. The association has raised money for the state work and responds cheerfully whenever a call comes for money. Last spring we sent two delegates to Lakeside, Ohio, and one to Morgantown, W. Va., this winter. The delegates came back to us so full of enthusiasm for the work that we have planned to send one to the Nashville con- vention this spring. The plan of the Y. W. C. A. is to bring the girls into closer touch with Christ and with each other. When new girls come into our midst we aim to welcome them in our girlish way and thus drive away homesickness. With our motto ever before us we are pushing forward hoping to do great things for our Master.

HOWEARTH Secretary JOHN F. RICK ' icc President HESS F. WILLARD Treasuroi 1 T a 1 D r y Carey, the father of the world-wide mission, once spoke tliese words : Expect great things for God and do great things for God. Tliis hope, tliis implicit confidence combined with that insatiable desire and that fiery determination to do something for God brought tliat man his success, his wonderful achievements in the cause which he represented. And so this brief laconic sentence of that wonderful man of God has be- come the watchword, the stimulus to greater efforts and larger attempts of nearh ' every religious body. The institution that is fired with the zeal, with the energy founded in those beautiful words of Carey is the one that is doing a great and noble work for the cause of the Master. And so in reviewing the history of the Y. M. C. A. of Bethany College, one is gratified to see the result of the work that has been done by this Chris- tian organization. True, the undying words of the immortal Carey seem to be implanted deep in the heart of ever) ' Christian young man in this communitv. They seem to be written and emblazoned across the horizon of the society ' s existence, for we have been fired from our earliest incipiency with the sjiirit of doing f oung Mms (El|n0ttan Aasonattott (£ n n 1 i n u p somctiiini; ' for Jesus Christ and his universal cause. And we have been doing it. The rehgous atmosphere around Old Bethany has been made sweeter and purer by the influence of this consecrated band of men. We have always stood up as strong advocates of the cause we represent and the work we have undertaken to do. We feel justly proud of our prestige, but glorious as has been our past, still more glorious will be the future, dreat as has been the result of our work in tiie days that are gone by, still greater will our achieve- ments for the Master and his cause be in the future. The s])irit of working for Christ and his gospel has caught this association and like the Apostle Paul of ( )h we press on towards the mark for the prize of the high calling which is found in Christ Jesus. Then let us as young men, as servants of Jesus Christ, be filled with a greater zeal and a stronger enthusiasm than ever before for Cjod, and in the subsequent days let our ambition be to bear more fruit for the Master. We were represented at the student conference held at Lakeside, Ohio, in June, 1905, by Brothers M. E. HooLman, . . J. Welty and R. S. Alanley, also at the International Conference of the Student Volunteer Movement held at Nashville, Tenn., from February 28 to March 4, igo6, by Brothers P. M. Baber and C. P. Hedges. Our mission class thus far has been a success. There are about thirty enrolled in the class, and with Prof. Anna R. Bourne as leader we feel there are great things in store for us. Now as we are nearing the close of our school year, and vacation time approaches, let us not grow languid or listless in our work, but ever continue in our labor and our obligation to Jesus Christ and to our God, YOUNG MEN ' S CHRISTIAN ASSOCIATION. • - , H CO « H •z. tc H a o 03 ®l|P Atl|lpttr Iflarti The Athletic Board of Bethany College is composed of three members of the faculty and three of the student body, and has entire control of all athletic interests of the college.

The first game of baseball was played in the 40 ' s and the first recognized baseball team was organized in 1845. however, baseball did not become the national gama until ' 70 ' s. As it is now played it is without a single doubt the most popular game in America, and it seems destined to hold its position as the cleanest and most sportmanlike of all games, especially since the recent action of college authorities in regard to football. The greatest value of baseball lies in its openness, thJS affording the onlooker an opportunity to see each play, an d its value to the player lies in the fact that it brings into play every muscle of the body. It also requires the e.xercise of soimd judgment, and, at times, lightning calculations. The fact that the game has been found most helpr ' ul in asylums in stimulating mental activity is not with- out its significance, and for the same reason it cannot tail to have a salutary effect, even upon the trained minds of college students. Then here ' s to baseball, the cleanest and most fascinating of games, and the game of our beloved country. Long may it live and prosper. VARSITY BASEBALL TEAM, 1905. Fowler, C. E. D. Mercer, 1st.

Heretofore athletics at Dcthany have consisted of football and baseball, with a small amount of tennis. Teams of these various departments have represented the college in the inter-collegiate contest. Their welfare being maintained at home by the students and faculty. Until this year Basketball has not shared with other games. But with so many followers of the game urging, it demanded a place, and so a team was organized with H. W. Cramblett as manager. While but three games have been played with visiting teams, yet so many were arranged among the home teams that interest in the game never died. Two inter-fraternity games were plaved besides many others between picked sides. Of the three games played during the season Bethany won two, and while no hard teams were met, yet a team which could hold its own was developed and at the end of the season. Everything for next year looks good. The line-up is as follows: J. J. Smith, Center. Frank McEvoy, R. F. Kirk Woolery, L. F. W. L. Linville, R. G. T. B. Imhoff, L. G.

WE would again call the attention of the student-body to the fact that we need ON Tuesday, Feb. 20th, the Bethany Five met and defeated the Knicker- bocker basket ball club of Wellsburg by one goal. The final score was 17 to 16. The star player of the evening was McEvoy, who threw the majority of the goals. Linville played a consistent plucky game. Taken everything into consideration, our boys did well, and we hope that they will in the remaining contests succeed in bringing the laurels of victory to Old Bethany. WE would call attention to the little poem on the first page. The words if set to music would add a beautiful col- lege song to our present collection. Here is a chance for some of our music students to compose an air that will per- petuate his name until A hundred years shall roll.

We need only mention, to those who were present, some of the numbers to recall many pleasant evenings spent in Chapel Hall, and to those who were not present the li.st of attractions will at once give some idea as to the value of a course such as we have here at Bethany every year.

(!9rat0rtral Aaanrtattnn SHE ( )ratorical Association manifests the true marks of progress. During- its past history many complaints have been made concerning the management of its business. This has made an impression magis et inagis since the number of members lias so much increased. The need of a change was so unmistakable that a new constitution was drafted by a com- mittee specially appointed. The good effects of this regime can be attested by all. The business of the association is now invested in an executive committee com- posed of two members from each society and one member of the facult_ ' . The) ' hold office for one year. The association is no longer called together to transact minor business, but it upholds all decksions made by its representatives. By this means much more business can be readily and more efficiently dispatched. One of the most important decisions made this year Ijy the association is the admittance of the young women within our ranks. Heretofore no one but men had a voice in the administration, but now, it is pleasing to relate, the association is complete. The young women from now on are granted the same privileges as the men. Some have prophesied already that soon they would demonstrate to all how to bring the medal to Bethany. Hurrah for the ,girls ! The preliminary of the State Oratorical contest was held xApril 3rd. Four orators, N. L. S. two, A. L. I. one, and A. L. S. one, delivered very credible productions. Mr. Frank Smith, A. L. L, was awarded first honors, and Mr. E. B. Quick, N. L. S., second. The State Contest will be held on April 25th. April 17th is scheduled for the preliminary of the Tri-State Contest. The Tri-State contest will be held at Bethany this year May nth. It surely ought to leave with us the prize. We want to send out a plea for all members to be loyal and to give the executive committee their very earnest support. We, as an as.sociation, are in the period of formation and need to be not only sustained, but cherished, by the encouragement of each individual member. Thus we shall be interested in the well- being of our litcrarv societies, our association, and our college. EXECUTH ' E COMMITTEE. rofpBBor A. IE. Snlb ar (From tile Life of W. K. Pendleton, Ijy F. D. I ' ower.) beginning; and used corner of his livery tin cans, ter and w Bethany, tions of a EMERSON DOLBEAR tauglit the Natural Sciences, and was thorough in his specialty. He came from Ann Arbor to Bethany in ' 67 and left in ' 74 for Tufts College, Boston, and has been there ever since. A plain, blunt, matter-of-fact, yet most kindly gentleman, of strict integrity, with about everything that one needs to know of physics, chemistry, botany, zoology, geology, stored away in his peculiarly formed head, and with excellent skill in im- parting it to others. Since leaving Bethany, Professor Dolbear has forged his way to the front as one of the leading electricians of this age of electricity. His achievements, however, all had their i on Bethany soil. There is a tradition that the first telephone ever heard of was stretched by him successfully on the college corridor; and John Lauck, wdio lived in the second house from the Main and College streets, under the professor ' s directions stretched the second from his office to stable, one hundred feet, and used it regularly and successfully, receiver and transmitter being Professor Dolbear, the inventor of what is called the Bell telephone, the air space cable, the amme- irelcss telegraphy. His first experiments leading to the inventions of the telephone were made at While there he publi.shed a paper on the convertibility of sound into electricity, and on the vibra- membrane when vibrated by the voice. One of his inventions was bought by the Western Union rofpBSor A. iE. Snlbfar 01 n t i n u r !) Telegraph Company for ten thousand dollars, and he learned afterwards that the company had already voted a hundred thousand dollars for it, and he was thus swindled out of the difference. His patent on wireless telegraphy was refused by the patent office on the ground that it was contrary to science and would not work. It was issued to him in i8fi6 but was badly managed by the company to which it was assigned, and nothing came of it for the inventor. Over enthusiastic believers in the genuineness and adequacy of the suddenly suspended test at wireless signaling across the Atlantic, persist in writing and talking about Marconi as the original discoverer of wireless telegraphy, and as he has succeeded in getting his name associated in the public mind with everything relating to that system of communication, probably it is a waste of time to re-state the fact that Marconi obtained his knowledge of the subject from the Russian Pro- fessor Popoff, whose system has been in use in the Russian navy for some years. Marconi ' s instruments, upon which he obtained patents in this country, are copied from Popoff ' s, and the basic art of his system is Dolbear ' s discovery. He adopted Dolbear ' s system and adapted the coherer to it. Marconi is neither dis- coverer nor the pioneer of wireless telegraphy, but to Professor Dolbear belong that distinction. The professor has written a number of books : The Art of Projecting, written at Bethany ; The Speaking Telephone, Matter, Kther and Motion, The Modes of Motion, and a textbook on Physics. JWAS requested to attend this banquet in honor of Old Bethany. Sometimes Old is an epithet of endearment, as when we familiarly say Old fellow. Men grow old. Forty is the youth of old age, and the old age of youth. Counting in this way Bethanv College is getting old. She was founded about sixty-five years ago. When my grandmother was fifty T thought she wa.s very old. Her eyes were beginning to grow dim. and a little later she showed feeblesness and white hairs. In this sense colleges ought not to grow old. The profes.sors grow old, the buildings decay, the curriculum of study changes, but the college is the same. When I was here there were Campbell, Pendleton, Richardson, Ross, Pickett, Millyan and others, but they have all gone up higher; yet the school goes on with increasing vigor and power, and perhaps will go on for centuries. Cambridge and Oxford were founded about six hundred ' ears ago. That was a long time ago when we count by ears, but when we count b ' vigor and power they are vet in vouth. Both had feeble lieginnings. Cambridge began with four months ' teaching in a hired barn. They have now thirty-two colleges and a thousand students. These two colleges have graduated the authors, statesmen and poets of England. Bethany College began with less than one hundred students in 1 841. Rural location, excellent professors, and uncontaminatcd youth, these were the elements ministering to the success, according to Mr. Campbell. Subscriptions for building amounted to about $17,000, and a few vears later only $25,000. Among the more than 500 graduates of this college may be found preachers, lawyers, statesmen, physicians, professors and scientists of more or less prominence; and from these have been manned a score of other colleges which have made their influence and power felt all over this countrv. Bethanv College is not onlv the Cherishing Mother of hundreds of men and women, but of institutions of learning as well. And this good work will go on. Let imagination play amid visions of the future. ®lb ffi tliana n n I i n u We older boys look back tonight. I came to Bethany from Illinois, a hundred miles west of Chicago. I came forty miles by private conveyance to the outside station in railroading, then over 500 miles by rail, then twenty miles b)- steamboat to Wellsburg, and eight miles by stage to Bethany. Who can forget that first ride to Bethany over the pike, through tunnels, along precipes, greeted ever and anon by the winding Buffalo — all amid scenery new to a boy raised on the prairies and said to equal anything found in this conn- try or any other ! Nor can we forget the four years spent at the feet of the sage of Bethany, and the faith- ful corps of teachers who led us up the hills of knowledge and science. We love to visit the old paths we once trod, to drink at the old fountains, to talk again with the old boys, in imagination at least — and have memories of the old College times come trooping back to us as on angel wings to tell again of the happiest days next to our earliest childhood, we will ever spend in this world. Take Bethany College out of the growth of the great work began by Alexander Campbell not much will be left. Take Bethany College out of my life, it would shrivel to nothing. I am happy to be here tonight to join my voice with yours m the wish that our Alma Mater will never grow old, and that her children will ever be a sort of reproduction of her ever increasing love and power. — R. Moffat. tt AlitmnuB Altbt What say you, Jack, I missed it, The chapel stack — what fun — the gauntlet ' s margins slim. That curtained night of mist and fog and blackness, When nature brewed such college demoned vim! Well, I recall the blood of those times, mentor. The spirit wild which madly played our ship! Compulsorary Chapel erstwhile hard untimely! Must now be sorely smitten thigh and hip. The nights were ours for study, rules said, The torch of genius burns intensest in the midnight lamp. And yet the powers that were in idem statu quo Said rise before day dissipates nocturnal damp. And haste to prayers as if the Lord Could thus be reached by powers of Babel communing While famished sleep and maws unbreakfasted. In brain and brawn, so ill traduced, were striving. Well, I recall the murmurs, threats and oaths. Convocation hot — the low but passionate insurgent cries ! How, when dispersed, I lay me down, but not to sleep. Nay, tumultuous dreams with comrades bold to vie In scaling heights and delving darks! Valiantly delivering pinioned hosts of pews and pulpit ponderous Bearing these away to open air and freedom glad. Now gloriously lost in vague experience wondrous. Knightly and cautious did the rogues disport. Under my gallant leadership they mount the very throne. And imprecate the threshold of the ultra chamber. Where slept the King, his janissaries gone. The conquest was complete! The livid bulls eye cleared the way for every stealth of mind. And strong arms by the side such havoc wrought That ere Orion marked one hour-course it lay behind. What say you, Jack? How strange to you? No, a mere psychic coincidence; for tho ' they strove my guilt to reach It would not work, for in the maze of road and raili-oad transit, I had to leave on Friday of that week to preach. — Gerald Ciilbersod, ' 05. Ab Bern by An Ampnrau AlumnuH iN the early history of Bethany College one of it ' s principal features was the exceptional training given to the student in are art of oratory, and the number of excellent public speakers that came from her halls has been the marvel of many college educators since. This feature has never left the college and even to this day many of her sons are recognized as Bethany Boj ' s from their public speaking. In order to supplement the efforts of the noble founder of the college and his co-laborers in this direction, the two old- est literary societies were founded ; the Neotrophian Literary Society and the American Literary Institute in the order named. What is true of the earnestness of the members and the efficiency of the work of one, is greatly true of the other also. For many years the American was especially effective in training her members for public work, and the } ' ears previous to the war can boast such names as Charles Louis Loos, O. A. Burgess, Robert Moffet, Wni. Baxter, Joseph King, Jabez Hall and many others equally eminent. The hall occupied by the . merican being a duplicate of that used by her sister society, was most beautifully and elegantly furnished and most excellently adapted to the work of the societies. The period of the Civil War was one of hardship for the college and all its dependencies. After the war she probably rose to the height of her excellence during the 70 ' s when such men as Zollers, Woolery, Power, Wynne. Smith. Ero, McLean, Trible, Spencer, McAIillian, Gantz, Marshall, Griffith, Hartley, Hen- dershot, Winbigler, Hayden, and many others equally noted walked through her halls and labored for her success and are now proud of bearing the name of the beloved institute. The earnestness and zeal of the members scarce knew any bounds during those years and all other matters except the college work proper, would sink into insignificance when the American might call for aid for a pension. While at times in the engrossment of the minds of the (boys) by the tasks given by Presi- Aa Bnxi by Art Ampnran AlumnuH (!I D n 1 1 11 u r b dent Pendleton, and Profs. Loos, Kemper, Crenshaw, Dolbear, Eastwood, Power, Barcla} ' and others might cause the interest in the weekly ( performances ) to lag, let but a faint whisper come that the Old Ameri- can needed her sons for any special work and the old hall would be filled, every man in his place, and each ready for his task, whatever it might be. In thinking over these old times, we become ' boys again and long for the old friends, old halls, old associations, old songs, old spirit, old strifes, and stand eager to ag ' ain enter the fray and labor to place the A. L. I. standard in the lead and win fresh laurels for her crown. — C. P. Hcndcrshot. Iptliatty ' a portrait d albrji ETHANY ' S portrait gallery continues to grow. Last year witnessed the advent of three new faces and others will ere long join the distinguished company. It is with peculiar pride that the friends of the college have welcomed one portrait in fheir midst during the last twelve months. It is the portrait of one who through good and evil report, through bright days and days of gloom, has stood by the old institution never for a moment losing faith in its ultimate triumph — in its possibilities for good among our people. To this face all former students will turn with an affec- tionate pride as years go by and they come home again and visit their Alma Mater. Hitherto, those who have been honored with a place in old Bethany ' s gallery of tame have been her sons of distinction; but this is a portrait of a daughter of the line, of whom it might be truthfully said, Many daughters have done virtuously, but thou excellest them all. Truly may it be said that Miss Canimie Pen- dleton has laid her heart, her life, on the altar of Bethany College. Inheriting a deep love for the college from her gifted father and grandfather, she has added to her childhood ' s affection a loyal self-sacrifice in its behalf, seldom witnessed in history of any educational institution. As a member of the Faculty she has ever shown herself faith- ful and sympathetic in all that pertains to student life; as Secretary of the Board of Trustees, even when others almost despaired of its future, she remained hopeful. It is meet, then, that now, when prosperity is returning to our Alma Mater, when the future is brightening before us, that we pause to ackno wledge and pay honor to a service so deserving. Miss Pendleton ' s portrait was presented to the college by the class of 190.3. What more fitting tribute could be paid by her pupils than this, to make permanent her gracious presence in the midst of scenes she loves so much? In coming years when her voice shall have been hushed in the class room, and her footfall is heard no longer in the old corridor, her choice spirit will linger, still a part of Old Bethany, a silent participant in every service, a pres- ence to enter into companionship with new lives in their newer, loftier aspirations. — Anna li. Bourne. H U M R I 5 T ®i|p K rpBlimftt B iSual| A Senior one morning, it was Barkley l y name, Said the Freshmen wonld meet to hold their dear name, So just as we heard the old clock striking four We all had assembled with a shout and a roar. To break up that meeting the Sophs tried their best. And here you may know that the Fresh got no rest. In came a fire cracker that fell at Carter ' s feet. He soared in the air to the height of three feet. At last our meeting it came to a close With the officers we had chosen our spirits arose, Linville and Dayton were two of these men They would equal the Soph ' s to the number of ten. On the first of March, one nice moonlight night, The Fresh they got ready to start the good fight: They put the dear flag on an old pine tree. Then to wait on the Sophmores who they were anxious to see. They laid on the campus till about two o ' clock. When up came the Sophomores all in a big flock, Then we got into business right down in the dirt. But had not proceeded far when Jack Gordon got hurt. We took him to a room to find out what was wrong, But to find Dr. Jones the time was quite long. But when he got there this is all that he said, You people are foolish, the patient ' s quite dead. But in these days of learning some doctors don ' t know That by rubbing a person you can make his blood flow. So we rubbed on old Jock for a number of hours. And at nine in the morning he was as healthy as flowers. But here I don ' t know who has won this here fight. But I think it was the Freshmen and I am sure [ am right.

Per- haps it were better had it never been built than that it shoukl for- ever serve as an excuse for inac- tivity and delay. Christianitv has been progressing- for nineteen cen- turies, and still, after a careful per- spective, we cannot but be im- pressed by the fact that we have not, as yet, arrived at the millennium. Altho ' prize-fighting has liecn under the h; n of public opinion and often of the law for several gen- erations, it is not yet entirely stamped out, and thousands of our enlightened American citizens to- day will pay more for a box at the ring-side than they would for a seat on Christ ' s right hand. It is gratifying to note that football, with all its contingent brutalit -, is beginning the cause the public to sit up and take notice. This is a great stride in the right direction, but we must not expect to accomplish too much at once or we will be doomed to certain disappointment. We mu.st pursue a me- thodical course; first, educate public opinion, then turn our attention toward the source from whence the ranks of the Devil are recruited. As the twig is inclined, so the tree will be bent. Begin with the children. No harsher tone than a flute note should greet their tender ears. No more heinous outrage could be perpetrated on one of three frail barques, launched out upon the tem- pestuous sea of life than to start them out with such a cognoment as Bill, Jack, or Tom. Give a dog a bad name, etc. If a boy is named Bill he will try to live up to it.

Then, too, our legislators should get bus) ' and suppress such literature as Spartacus to the Gladi- ators, Barbara Fritchie, and Horatius at the Bridge, which do much towards sending boys out on the war path and gridiron with blood in their eyes and murder in their hearts. Many of the older ones of us recall with horror the terrible incidents in connection with the swal- lowing of a marble by a small boy last season, which seriously impaired his digestive apparatus. If our boys arc allowed to grow up in a marble-playing, ping-pong atmosphere, or to get out in the back yard and slug savageh ' at a small ball with a large club instead of learning the gentle art of cigarette smoking or doily working, what else can we expect them to become except strong, healthy young men with a superfluity of animal spirits? The erroneous and misconstrued argument is l roug ' ht forth by some that moral courage is one of the attributes of physical courage, or at least in some way remotely connected with it. This is a false conception of the case, for we know of many women who are in mortal dread of a mouse, yet these same timid females will marry drunken brutes to reform them, and many a boy who is not ashamed to help his sister wash dishes or allow his rights to be tram- pled upon would scorn to jump into a football game and injure a fellow player. Much benefit would result to the already de- praved college student if the authorities would take the matter in hand and organize athletic cla-ses in knitting, crocheting, fancy embroidering, and fudge making, with strict rules for the suppression of the necessary roughness and brutaUty under the proficient coaching of an elderly single female mem- ber of the faculty. This would cultivate in the young men a spirit of self reliance and independ- ence, and the open work in crocheting from the spectatorial standpoint, could be made very exciting, and a series of contests could easily be arranged be- tween rival institutions to settle all questions of ath- letic supremacy. Football shoulil oe entirely tabooed even when played under Grandmothers ' Revised Rules, for in- estimable harm may result to the nervous svstem of a sensitive yoimg man by unavoidable accidents such as being hit in the face or below the belt by the bal) which is sometimes blown up until it is as hard as a feather pillow. — P.

LL through the summer of 1905 there was a strange feeling of uneasiness, a sort of ijremonition of something great about to be, that disturbed the country round about Old Bethany. The Buffalo babbled of something, the wind whispered it through the trembling trees and men waited with a sort of awe. But when the old college threw open her doors on the morning of September 19, this pent-up feeling burst forth in joy and thanksgiving. For splendid youths and maidens had been wending their way along the old pike, thru the tunnels and out to Bethany. And no wonder such an assemblage had been ushered in by strange portents! From England, Canada, Japan, Bul- garia, Australia, and every part of Columbia they came, bent on training their precocious minds, and adding glory and renown to a time honored institution. There were dignified seniors, cultured juniors, wordy sopho- mores and a countless horde of others, creatures of a mossy texture and springtime tent, the raw material that will be worked over and sometime sent out on the market, neatly done up in cap and gown. There was great confusion of College Hill, and all through the little village, and young hearts were beat- ing high with curiosity and suspense. Which of these tender palpitating organs will ever be able to forget the thrill it felt when for the first time its owner heard, ringing out through the balmy dusk of that September night, the voice of the old college bell. But days wore on, as days will do when college opens and freshmen are new, the schedule was changed the sixty-third time, the preps got what they wanied, the senios what they could, and this heteragenous mass of volatile mantality, without farm — and iierhaps some of it void — gradually assuming its present state of cold- ness and density, and started on its circling way. CHAPTER 11. This month has been filled, heaped up and running over with important events; for did not Professor Beatty hear the baby cry and was not Mayers seen in church with Miss Scott. It was rumored about that Findlay enrolled in French and that Gordon and Schafer were the victims of that outrageous practice of smoking out quiet and peaceable folks. Welty and his gang challenge all old students to a conflict mentally, morally, physically or spiritually. The challenge was accepted for a physical contest but for some unaccount- able reason it did not come off. As a result Dunn alias Quackenbush. took a degree in H=0 and surprised the President and Faculty so suddenly that they met (or As Bnn bg a Ulan from tt|p (Fnuipr ( a nt X n a e b consultation. Tommy Mercer was as a result dubberi a gentleman, although he was advised to keep out of the Dorm during this session. Too rough for so gentle a child! We have learned by good authority that the Advanced Zoology class recited several times during the month but we cannot swear to the statement that Fogg ' s sickness was in some unaccountable way con- nected with the disappearance of Mrs. Main ' s ice cream. Pasco resigned his position as janitor of the chapel with great indignation and publicity and President C — . gave public instructions to the .Janitor of the library. Robbery! ! Capt. A. and Lieut. C. outwitted Sherlock The month closed with memories of Professor ' s lecture on culture in wall paper and the news that those mar- tyrs, Schafer and Gordon, have again suffered another terrible and harrowing experience during a smoke-out. Pax Vobiscum. CHAPTER III. Ah, distinctly I remember it was in the bright Novem- ber, That the Pittsburg delegation came to look our college o ' er: Only one day stopped and stayed they: some great chapel speeches made they, Then each separate man and lady turned thou from our classic door, Perched upon the preacher ' s hack waiting at our col- lege door. We shall hope for something more. Ah, distinctly I remember it was in dread November, That each quaking senior member sat and looked the chapel o ' er: Eagerly he wished the morrow; vainly did he seek to borrow From the roof, surcease from sorrow for the rare for- gotten lore, For the radiant oration, he had known so well before; Cobwebs there and nothing more. Ah, distinctly I remember, it was in the sad November, Fair co-eds to Wheeling Island, all their smiles and pennants bore. Eagerly the fray we waited, rooting hard with hopes elated; But that football game was fated, hearts and muscles both are sore; Fortune turned the victory from us, ' twas weight won the awful score. Only weight and nothing more. CHAPTER IV. With the ushering in of December came the usual Thanksgiving roast. The first feature of this chapel service was that one of our students was so rash as to attempt to place a notice on the President ' s desk after the Professors had taken their places on the platform. But with the President ' s usual alacrity, he despatched the offender down the aisle with his notice unread. A novel feature was the reproduction of the repertoire of Kb Bern hy a Mmx from tl]p Uinwer d U U t t U U f the Lyric Glee Club and the lecture of Dr. John Merritt Driver. Near the end of the month our Professor, who was in Yale last year, took one of our fair seniors, wlio is a musician as well as a classical student, to a nearby Normal to assist in a recital. On their way home the Professor, in order to enjoy the young lady ' s presence as long as possible, took the wrong road. After driving several miles the fair maid discovered that they were on the wrong road and insisted upon his turning tlie horse at once, even at the risl; of overturning the buggy. They arrived at Phillips Hall in the wee sma hours of the morning. Not many days hence all the livery men in town were busy sending up all conceivable kinds of convey- ance to transport the Bethany youths to Wellsburg on their way home for the holidays. CHAPTER V. One could as well press a mountain into a gnat ' s eye, pour the Pacific into a thimble and have room enough and to spare as to record in this space all Uie events of January that clamor, trumped-tongued, (or a place. It was then the kindergarten department was in- stituted and a Cradle Roll suggested and given favorable consideration. Dunn and Warren made their first public appearance on the stage; they seemed very much at home — the audience wished they were there. A diead- ful accident averted: While sailing down the corridor Miss F. was enveloped by a dense Fogg and was about to be wrecked on a bar — dropped by a music student — when IVIcClary hove into view and the Fogg lifted. In a four days ' battle Professor L., alone and unaided, un- horsed all the cavalry of the Virgil class. A fulfillment of prophecy: A voice was heard on the corridor. V ' i ' eep- ing and great mourning. A co-ed weeping (or her bizite, and she would not be comforted for her Jerry had been taken. CHAPTER VI. The latest sensation: A white pig with red sides, black legs, crooked tail, and lop ears, stolen from Leg- horn Dobbinspeck. Preachicles Roaster Sweinessey was accused and tried in Porkersquealins court of Squiggens county. The case was not decided but will be carried to a higher court. No pig thief caught Mr. Ground Hog and he crawled out to see his big black shadow. Consequently the Buffalo froze and Professor Beatty, among others, amused crowds by doing fancy stunts on the ice. The evening o( the eighth was re- markable. Professor Beatty finding a fair co-ed, much inclined to the faculty, took her to the first number of the lecture course. He received full value, getting in one evening something which it takes two days to do. The shade of the honored father of our country was awakened by the debaters as they debated his birthday by discussing the question, Resolved, That the Anti Biz Club is a Worthy Institution. Decision in favor of the affirmative. Some other important decisions for Aa Btnx by a ilan frnm tl|p uiompr (K o n 1 1 n u P the coming summer decided; i. e., Kirl Woolery will not visit Kentucky, and George Vaiden and John War- ren will spend several months in California. St. Valen- tine sent his usual messages of love and otherwise. It was rumored that a certain young man has been teach- ing a ministerial friend of his how to tie the Weaver ' s Knot. Time will tell. CHAPTER VII. The month began with unusual occurrences. Bro. Fair had a ham stolen from his kitchen, but the thief was unable to escape with the plunder. As he was pass- ing through the orchard almost equaling Mercury ' s best speed he caught sight of a man but was unable to stop until seized and the ham was surrendered uncondi- tionally. After being tried Justice Jones ordered the prisoner to jail since he was unable to furnish the S500 bail. His friends mobbed the guard and hid him over night. The senior orations have came and went and are now fast receding into the never-to-be-forgotten past so fertile to the returned graduate in his chapel speech. The eloquence wasted on the unappreciative Profs, would have brought tears to the eyes of the tackling dummy had it been present. Now that they are over everybody seems glad, even the seniors. Now the cram for exams. Prof. Johnson ' s students work extra time since they well remember that first question for the Psychology exam. Write the next edi- tion of this Psychology with revised foot notes and an appendix. Flunks, passes, sorrow, joy, all visit the many stu- dents and at last this term is over. All ' s well that ends well. CHAPTER VTII. April is here! With its sunshine, velvet lawns, Easter hats, Botany class, showers — almost everything; you never know what to expect and seldom get it. This is the season when the Biz case is ripe; when Prof. Beatty takes his class and hies away over hill and dale in search for the modest little Taraxacum officinale and when found, presses it to his herbarium and washes his hands. This is the season when the world seems new, but when you try to take advantage of its inexperience by walking over its flower gardens, you come back with wet feet and a sigh. The newness isn ' t real. You know that by Prof. McEvoy ' s speech on Matriculation dues, but this deception only adds zest to life and we love April with all its glad surprises. This is the season when we read the reports of our winter ' s work and realize that the time for our gradu- ation will come in with Halley ' s comet; that the gray- whiskered old man with the hourglass is slipping by while we are flunking with a nonchalance that would make the marble bust of Alexander Campbell weep. Oh April. Thou month of enthusiastic halluncin- ations and poetic gush, we salute thee. As Bun bg a liatt from tljf Sntufr (Cnntinupb CHAPTER IX. The word May, as all may know, means to grow, a bursting into life. This name being given to the fifth month in our calendar, because in this month the birds return from their winter homes and make the air melodious with the twitter and chirping. Tlie gi ' ass begins to grow, the buds to open, the flowers to un- fold. The young lambs frisk and play and everything seems full of freshness after the long, chilly days of winter have gone. Yes, it signifies growth in every de- partment of the natural sphere but it has a special sig- nificance in Dear Old Bethany, viz.: a growing of Biz cases, some very green and others soft indeed, and also a growth of heads (seniors ' heads) that is they swell until one would think they were going to burst forth just like flowers. It was customary in olden times to gather flowers on the first day of May and then to have several cere- monies, one of which was as follows; All the people of a village would gather the flowers early in the morning and then, having chosen the fairest maid, would crown her May Queen with a wreath of the gath- ered flowers. But the Puritans in English objected to this frivolity and it stopped. In Bethany each courtier crowns his May Queen but it often happens that the Puritanic members of the faculty raise their voice and Biz comes to a close, and such is the end of all this frivolity. CH APTER X. May has done gone and sure-enut June is here, which means searmonth or dry month. Dry month in old Bethany (precious Old Bethany) because the same old orations that were given before Moses carried the bees into the ark, are threshed over again and they are dry indeed, so dry that you may imagine you can hear the bones rattle as Washington, Napoleon, Alexander, Cicero. Demonthenes, Socrates and others are gently raised from their tombs and made to speak again. Dry month in Bethany (historic Old Bethany) because some of the unfortunate Freshies have had time to dry their apparel after a hasty midnight bath in the warbling waters of the sacred old Buffalo. Dry month in Bethany (Hallowed Old Bethany) because throats become dry when we attempt to say Au revoir to the dear, kind, loving, sympathetic friends we have formed at Bethany (Blessed old Bethany) among both faculty and students. Dry month in Bethany (Wonder- ful Old Bethany) because each of the seniors think how dry all the speeches are except his own. Dry month in Bethany (Fortunate Old Bethany) because it rains on commencement day and soils the pretty gowns worn by the visitors, seniors and faculty.
