Marked advances have been made along man - hnes, and she is now prepared for wider and greater usefulness. In da s to come this ear will be viewed with pride. In order to preserve in tangible form its events, we have endeavored in this volume to mirror as taithtullv and tulh ' as possible the various activities ot our college lite. We sincereh ' hope that a perusal ot its contents nia - bring pleasure and profit to our t ' riends and may recall to us pleasant memories of college da ' s. We have tailed in main points to realize our expectations, but we hope that ou will receive kmdh ' and consider attentively this product of our labors, ever remem- bering that we have been confronted b ' man - difhculties and limitations. Careless ot censure, not too tond ot tame. Still pleased to praise, et not afraid to blame; Averse alike to flatter or offend. Not tree trom taults, nor yet too vain to mend. Such has been our ami in all things. The Editors. 1909-College Calendar-1910 Fall Term, 1909 Sept. 21 — Fall Term begins.

GATHERS 24 Senior Class History On a rainy day in September, in the year 1906, from verdant hill a[id plain we came, hearing with us all the promise and hope ot a rising generation. Though there were those who would have had it otherwise, we or ranized ourselves into the largest Freshman Class that Bethany ever knew, and thus began the four ears of our col- lege life, during which we reigned with power as absolute as that held hv the Thirty Tyrants of Greece. Need I more than recall to your memory how, in the early spring ot ' 07, we placed the old Gold and Blue on the topmost pinnacle of the College, and kept it there till the Powers That Be, fearing for the life and limb of those struesling beneath us, bade them desist and left our colors to float free on the shifting air; how, one year later, we sallied forth and carried bodily awa ' those who thought to defy us with their silken rag; how, when, as juniors, we would have retired from the field ot Mars, our Sophomore Brothers called to us in their sore distress, and we came torth to prove that we could still defend our name and tame from the insults ot a howling mob. And now, in our Senior Year, we have once more asserted ourselves and, in departing trom Bethany tor the last time, we leave with you a Freshman Class that gives tair promise ot great things yet to be. Proud as we are in our might, it is as naught when compared with the pride we take in our intellectual advancement. Our record begins rather than ends with class scraps and athletic victories. As we look back over our tour years ' existence as a class, and compare our minds then and now, and behold the wonderful advance- ment made, is it strange that we should ask — Where are our superiors r Curious as it may seem, we find our greatest glor - not in class development, nor in class victories, but rather in the individual achievements of each and every one who has risen in our ranks. First ot all, we point to our girls. There is Miss Madden, who has gone the even tenor of her ways; and Miss Mercer, who started to take the ministerial course because she tound much culture in the Bible that she could not find in Higher Mathematics. We must not torget Miss Johnston, who ahva)s speaks tor herselt, hut is seldom heard. Every class that graduates from Bethany contains some who would be fishers of men and rejoices that it is so. Therefore, it is with pleasure that we mention some ot our well-known and able ministers: pointing to Johnson, the man of many words; Hanna, trom Shelb -, Ohio; and Hood, who is so logical as to have won a place on the debating team ot our College. But I must hasten, pausing onl ' to mention Smiley, Rowd ' and Diz, who have all followed the motto given them in their Freshman Year and acted w ' lthout speak- ing. Why need they speak.? The whole College is ringing with their deeds, and is not this eulogy enough for any man ? And there are many more, known and dear to us all, but the end draws near, and we must say farewell, with one last word to each and all who et ma ' come to Bethany ' s sacred halls, Cherish Alma Mater. She is dearer to thee than all save home and mother. And when the time shall come, as come it must, when ou shall stand in the world of action, may ou feel ready and fit to go forth to do and die tor the Eternal Right. W. H. Cram B LET. 25 Senior Poem I. Our liappv college days will soon be o ' er Our work together here be done; We ' ll gather in these ancient halls no more, For purpose grave, or bent on fun. Four years have swiftly passed since first we met In joy on this old college hill. Four crowded, happy years — can we forget What they have brought of good and ill ? We came from north and south, from east and west, This Class of Nineteen Ten, to fight For learning ' s precious prize — to do our best For home ' s dear sake and our delight. II. Strangers at first, soon many friends were found In our own ranks, and those beyond. Somehow, ' tis so that on this sacred ground Friendship e ' er wields her strongest bond. Yes, in the depths ot the ample treasure-box (We feel, and gladly testify). Which only Alma Mater ' s child unlocks, Among the shining gems that lie Therein, far from the least, the living pearl Of Friendship richly glows and gleams; Within this casket fair our fancies furl Their wings, and rest in pleasant dreams. m. What of Ambition ' s call, which once we heard In clarion tones, and followed here ? To that are other calls e ' en yet preferred. Are old-time alms yet held most dear? Each one must answer this to his own heart, Yet all can say with words sincere. That of old, selfish aims, the better part Alone remained, after one year Ot life in Bethany. And now there sounds A higher, clearer call to serve; We see a vision of the bleeding wounds Of the sad old world, and we ' ll not swerve From purpose deep and firm, to soothe and heal. This only can we speak, but more we feel. IV. To thee, dear Alma Mater, we would sing With grateful hearts. To thee we ' ll strive to bring The tribute of our lives well spent. On thee with love our eyes are bent In sad farewell. Yea, fare thee w ell. Our Bethany, dear Bethany; farewell. Our comrades true, of Nineteen Ten, The royal, loyal Class of Nineteen Ten, To one and all, a last, a long farewell. M. G. C. 26 Ifi w |i,n.,,, -«l|fclt,,iiil« (|j . ijllSi;(l(l|;U „,, ,i« .11, ,nil ' : K ; ; ' ' ' ' :rr-T ' ; ' r ' t;l. ' v ■ ■■ ■■■ ■ - i: ;J ., ,fcfr ' . ' I ' . . ' . ' ' «« ' ' ' ' -, «r ,i«f. ,, ,.F • ' ; ; } d iiaiMl ffiaaaffi;ii Ai« , John H. Cable Ma - we introduce to you Hist ot all the President of the Class. He is the President of the Y. M. C. A. and a member ot the Athletic Board as well. There ' s a reason. Beneath that shock ot coarse, black hair is a mind and under that unseemh ' black coat a heart to which every student m school must pa ' respect. He gives himself wholl - to what he attempts. That is why we tear to predict anything as to his tuture. We fear that we shall fall far short of his attain- ments. Ethel Charnock What the Class t u i i lacks m quantity it more than makes up in ijuahtw and this is especially true with respect to the gentler sex. Miss Char- nock is one ot those tew bright oung ladies which it is the good tortune of this Class to possess. A bizite ot the bizites. Miss Ethel has the admirable qualit ot knowing when and where. Her standing in all lines of college activity is one ot which she ma ' be justh ' proud. E. A. Johnston If this Class does not become an important tacior on the foreign mission field, the historian will be ver - much surprised. With men ot such abilit and consecration as E. A. lohnston, who has little time for biz and other frivolous things, and yet is full of s mpathy and optimism, some honor must come to the Class of 191 1. He came from Kimberlin Heights, and that good place has put its stamp upon him. This is no mean tribute. 28 Edwin R. Errett This is the teih) v who made Pittshurij tainous throusih his great oiatoncal abiht ' . Even Piexie was surprised and wondered that a person of such a retiring disposition could soar into the paths ot the air-ships. But, don ' t blame him — you see, his tather is a trustee ot the Col- lege. Mrs. Bourne calls him Edwin ; the fellows call him Ed ; but when there is a girl in the case he goes (to the woods) without calling. Blanche Smith Miss Smith bears the distinction ot beins a Pitts- burger who is not a Pittsburger — a rare thing. That IS to say, her home is in Pittsburg; her heart is — we fear to say where. The Pennsyl- vania delegation take pride in counting her one of their number, though Ohio ma - attempt to claim her. Suffice it to sa that Penns lvania alwa s produces the best, whether it be musi- cians, bizites or gratters. Walter R. Ritter Ritter comes from New Philadelphia, Ohio. But that should not be held against him. He couldn ' t help it. He is a wondertul business man; his office being the local home ot several corporations ot national tame. He is a scholar and an athlete, too. As to biz qualifications, we tear to speak. He is a member ot the Athletic Board, too, so that when he is not really busy he must put on a business air to support his many responsibilities. 29 A. George Saunders A. George Saunders came all the va ' from Aus- tralia, surrendering all the benefits and pleasures ot woman suffrage, to become a member ot the Class ot igii in Old Bethany. And his class- mates are justly proud of him. He is an original thinker, a talented cartoonist, an able speaker, a fascinating poet (See the Class Poem) and Professor Workman ' s authority on Australia and salt-water animals. We expect much of A. George Saunders. Maud Harbaugh Miss Harbaugh is another ot those quiet, reserved young women. 1 hough possessing origmal opin- ions and holding tast to earnest convictions, she never makes herself prominent hv overmuch speech. She is, however, identified with the general literar ' and religious work ot the College lite, and must some day, as a singing evangelist, add no little g-lory to Old Bethanw Charles F. Hutslar Hutslar belongs to that class of students who as a rule appear in chapel occasionally, and who, though their names may be read trom the lists ot chapel absentees, never gain notoriety by being expelled. We reter to the married stu- dents — and the tacult ' . But Hutslar acquires notonet ' m other ways. In addition to being an excellent student, he has this ear proved himselt an orator. All hail to the Junior orator! 30 Frank J. Merryman You don ' t know Skmn ! W h -, everybody knows him. See that big, gra ' overcoat, topped with a slouch hat? es, that fellow making all those noises — cheerful and full of life. That ' s Skinn ' Men nian. the Manager of the 1910 Football Team. And a fine manager he will be, tor he has good common-sense and business ability, mixed with his gayety and mirth. They say he is also the attorney for the $3.00 Club. Good luck to SkinnA. Leah Stookey Miss Stookey believes in the eloquence of silence. Unostentatious, she makes her presence felt by her modest and reser ed bearing. She has a voice of fine quality and, what is more to the point, she knows how to use it. She is a mem- ber of the Volunteer Band, but the Historian has failed to learn what instrument she plaAS. Biz qualifications are too uncertain to be men- tioned here. Jay F. Mc Mullen McMuUen has impressed himself upon the school more b ' his quietness this ear than b ' an thing else. This is due probablv to that unfortimate succession of events: The absence ot Annette, the visit of Miss Winder ' s aunt and that trip to West Libert ' after the football game last fall. He is, however, recovering his previous form, so that ' ou can now hear him coming sometimes. He has a beautiful voice, but don ' t tell him so! 31 Ferd F. Schultz We are tempted to call him ' Father Schultz, but, not having consulted with him, we fear to do so. He might not care to add us to his already fine famih ' . But, be that as it may, we must respect the earnest consecration of Brother Schultz. His quiet earnestness commands our attention and respect. His sincere devotion to a worth ' cause must bring honor to the Class, and glory to Old Bethany. Clara Mae Cox Miss Cox is another of those quiet young ladies who add so much to the standing ot the Class of iqii. (Juiet, but enthusiastic, she goes about her work, unknown by name to many, but appre- ciated bv those fortunate enough to have made her acquaintance. Orville T. Lytle L tle seems to be a mart r to the cause ot biz. The facult} ' has put him off biz — whatever that is. But, in spite of such disappointing circumstances, he has proved himself a very efficient Alanager of the Basketball 1 earn. We trust that his future success may be all that such (juiet business (bizness) persistence deserves. 32 George G. Billick George Billick is plain George Billick. He is theie when he is wanted. He does what he is asked to do. He saws his own wood and says nothing. But, heneath all his quiet, unpreten- tious nature has heen discovered a firm bed-rock original thought, and honest, whole-hearted pur- pose. Without display or unnecessary confusion, he goes about his work, whether it be in a class fight, a baseball game, a literary society or a class recitation. Elizabeth Cox The Class of 191 1 has been singularly untortunate m the loss — only teniporar ' , we hope — ot some ot Its most valued members. Among these is Miss Cox, who added not a little to the standing ot the Class. But we sincereU ' hope that in the near future her cheerful countenance ma - again aid the fair co-eds to brighten the path ot the plodding baser sex. Moody Edwards We are proud to count Moody among the prospec- tive graduates of 191 1. Though he seems to have lost none of his evangelistic zeal and to be just as earnest as ever in his opposition to the program of the antis, he is, nevertheless, spending the larger part of his time in school this year. He pla ' s the violoncello in the col- lese orchestra, but we understand that he is a first fiddle in the Volunteer Band. 33 Edward Holloway After trying to obtain his education elsewhere, Mr. Hollowav has returned to good Old Bethany to graduate with the Class ot IQII. We congratu- late hull on this expression ot good taste. He has that inquiring nature which, ahhough it may bother his teachers and amuse his class- mates, is bound to conquer in the end. We expect in the distant future to see Hollowa} ' strugghng nobly on up the heights of knowledge in search for the gems ot truth. The Tunnel 34 History of the Junior Class In the tall ot 1907 there gathered midei the historic walls ot this ancient insti- tution a Class which is to write its name, indn idualh ' and as a whole, on the heights ot tame. Prom West Xiiginia, Penns i ania. Missouri, Kansas, Delaw ' are and even from tat Australia, tlie ' came to the numher ot thiit ' or tort ' earnest seekers alter learning. Nor have their efforts been thwarted. .All the boastings, taunts and tricks ot the Sophomores could not beat back these earnest fighters. The tests, exams and biz rules had no eftect. Through all thev marched calmh ' on until now, with one more stage ot the )ourne ' to be attempted, the ' ground arms at the end ot the Junior Year. They realize, howe er, that this is all bur practice, and that the real battle is yet to commence. ith this conception tiie ' mean to obtain all the strength and cunning possible from this practice. The ' intend to make the Senior Class ot next year the best Senior Class that has e er walked Bethan ' s corridor, and the Class leaving the old College m [une, 191 1, the most noble class that shall ever have passed troni her halls. Nor is this idle boasting. The literarv, oratorical and general standing ot this Class is noteworthy. Nor is the spiritual standing to be overlooked. With three volunteers tor the toreign mission field, we teel confident ot making an impression in Africa, India or China. With students tor the ministr , law, medicine and pedagogy, all ot excellent character, we should be able to keep the homeland sate. But, lest it might be charged that we boast, we shall bring this sketch to a close. Suffice it to sa - that the Class of 191 1 has already made a lasting impression upon the School, and must have a still greater effect upon the world at large m the ears that are to come. E. R. ErrEtt. 35- Junior Class Poem The race is almost run. The task is nearly done. That brought us hither, into Beth ' ny ' s halls. The last act hastens on. The climax cometh soon. And oer the scene of college-lite the final curtain tails. We came from far and near. And came with anxious tear. To try our doubtful strength in learning ' s streams, ' lth lov ' d ones tar awav. Who watch and wait and pray. To turn to manh ' action what were once but outhtul dreams. And when from here we go. Who is there who can know hereunto all these devious ways do tend ? With hope and faith made strong. For da3 ' s to come we long. And ready stand to dare the task regardless ot the end. But howso ' er it be, Dear Bethany, to thee. To thee, the giver kind ot all our store. We ' ll offer heartfelt praise. Through all our earthly days. And turn our grateful thoughts to thee trom earth ' s remotest shore. And ni3 thy tame increase, Th - favor never cease. And ma ' thy holy toil be richly crown ' d; And triends their gifts bestow, Thy glory greater grow. Till thou th ' place and due reward with men hast firmly found. A. G. Saunders. 36 H a n o t-l o apj omorrs Colors: Lavender and hire. George C. Hettler George C. Neil George Owens B. W. Henley .

For that reason it is a cheat, cheating us, if we do not take care, out ot much that we can least afford to lose. How true is this in Bethan ! We tread upon hoh ' ground and breathe an atmosphere charged with mspiration. Havnig heard this so often, we smile to hear it }et again. But, is it not a pity that we treat so lightly the traditions which make Bethany dear and glorious to multitudes of earnest souls ? The fact that Bethany is neglected by those multi- tudes to a shameful extent does not lessen her prestige one iota. Some day we shall be proud to Sav, I have been in Bethan ' . ' The brotherhood whom we seek to serve know that Bethany stands for something. As we climb the campus hill, as we study amid these crumbling, ivy-clad walls, as we go in and out amongst these famil- iar places, as we catch the sweet, pealing notes of the grand old bell, ringing over the hills on the morninir breeze, let us remember that Bethan ' stands for somethintr; that such traditions, such historv, such memories would not cluster about our beauti- ful tower were it not for what Bethany represents. Let us remember what she stands for. It is more than a hundred ears ' history. Bethany ' s contribution to the world is the emphasis she has placed on a true, full, simple, apostolic gospel. That means a gospel which is all-embracing and non-e. clusive, making essential a missionar ' programme. The light shmeth in the darkness and the darkness apprehendeth it not. The world ma ' not realize it, but it needs nothin i as much as it needs the messase of Bethany. This ver ' ignorance ought to fill us with pit ' and lead us to action. That which Bethany stands for is that for which the world is d ing. What wonders has this message wrought in every age and land! Peer into Roman catacombs; listen to the voice of clit: remember the work of Luther; mark the sacrifice of Savona- rola; marvel at transformed Uganda; rejoice in the blessings of modern civiliza- tion — each a revelation of the gospel ' s power. The hideous African murders and eats his fellows, marries as many wives as he can keep, sells his children into slaverw lives with apparent content in appalling povert ' , ignorance and degradation, tor lack of that which is the substance of Bethany ' s message. To leave him thus when we may deliver him is crime, and we are the criminals. Then Bethany ' s duty is plain. But ivc are Bethany, and ive must bear this message to waiting humanity . How we have been blest and favored! Shall we be self-centered . ' Shall we be America-centered r The end of education is service. We are here to learn how to serve. The supreme service which our powers render possible should be our aim. The end of Christian education is the evangelization ot the world. The immensity of the task may appall the mind of man, but not the heart ot God. It is a task worthy of the life service ot any man, however strong, learned, wise, eloquent he may be. It is the greatest, neediest, holiest and most joyous task on earth. Who will go where men are needed most, there to plant his life and proclaim the gospel, making this his service and giving God the glor - . ' A. G. Saunders. 44 Bethany and Oratory As Bethany is surrounded with beautiful hills, whose sides are covered with grass to their very summits, and as the streams which bathe their feet flow with pure and sparkling waters; as nature smiles in exquisite beauty and taste; as numerous springs well out of the earth and trickle through banks of sod in every direction, and as the very spirit ot Bethany breathes ot the beautiful, the artistic, the inspiring, it is altogether fitting and proper that she cultivate in her sons and daughters a spirit — a life, like unto her own. Such is the aim of old Bethany. Bethany has her ideals, her history, her future, but, above all, she has her present. In it she moves, moulds and contributes her part in the active world today. To bless and to be a blessing is her noble aim. To inspire and uplift are among her ideals. To lift the veil of ignorance from the eyes of the superstitious and un- learned; to watch with eager eyes the world ' s progress; to help m the battle between rii ht and wrong; to enthrone ]ustice and ujilift truth; to enlighten the pathwa ' of men, and check the unbridled greed of this materialistic age — these are a part of the work of today. The spirit ot loyalty to the high ideals of our Alma Mater can be expressed in no better way than through the art of oratory. A study of this art develops, it uplifts the human soul, inspires men ' s passions for good, and directs men ' s wills toward certain lines of action. Oratory is the champion of the human voice. This art, rightly and correctly applied, stands alone in the world of influence. It has been the means of settling mob spirit in every crisis of a nation ' s history. The orator has caught the ear of the unorganized herd and directed them to action imminently need- ful. The history of nations ma ' be read in their orations. Men hunger for the voice that can persuade and lead. They love to sit under the spell of true eloquence, which IS an essential factor of true oratory. The recent gift of Mr. Earl ' ilfley, of St. Louis, in the form of prizes to be awarded in oratorical contests, is most praiseworthy. It comes at an opportune time. Bethany welcomes such a gift because it meets a long-felt need. That which is an incentive toward a given goal, if that goal be a worthy one, is always commendable. This gift should add to Bethan) ' s list of incentives which are a means of inspiration to the aspiring orator. B. R. Johnson. 45 3 3 Club 3 Founded b)- A. C. Lambert and T. E.

A Tradition When a new student is being shown the points of interest around Bethany, one ot the first pilgrimages he makes is to the Lone Grave. One afternoon in Indian summer several ' ears ago a little party of girls started out from Phillips Hall and made their way through the town. They followed the Creek Road for about a half mile, and then went up the hillside. After reaching the summit of the hill they walked across two or three level fields, and came to a low mound, which would hardly have been noticed save tor the tomb stone. This was of rough hewn stone and was broken in two parts, upon which the short inscription could barely be read. While the) ' leaned against the rail fence and watched the purple shadows stretch- ing over the surrounding hills the older girls told the Freshmen the story of the Lone Grave as it has been handed down through many generations of students. As a matter of fact, we are told that this story is a myth, that no love affair is connected with the girl ' s death or with her being buried in this lonely spot. Probably some of the older inhabitants ot Bethany could give us an authentic history of the whole event, but here is the story as we have all heard it and as we realh- like to be- lieve it, at least those ot us who have an ' love of romance in our mental fiber. In the early days of the College, it is said, before girls were admitted as students, this spot was the trysting place of one of the students with a ' oung girl who lived near Bethany. They were sweethearts until the oung man left college, and then, as IS the way ot the world, his love grew cold, while hers remained faithful. es, faithful unto the bitter end, tor her lover never returned, and she lingered a while and then died of a broken heart. She asked to be buried on the hill, under the tree where she had spent so many happy hours. While the sad tale was being told, a lonely little bird was seen fl ing around the grave, fluttering from bush to bush as if looking for its mate. Perhaps it was injured, for its actions and chirps clearly indicated either a bruised wing or else a broken heart. ' It is the spirit of the girl waiting for her lover, one of the girls suggested in a hushed, voice. All the romantic young hearts went out to the little creature m s mpathw but they knew that the touch of no human hand could heal its wound. As they went back slowly over the hill and stood watching the sinking sun and the evening mists transform the old College into a palace of dreams, the ' knew that this walk would remain as one of the dearest memories of their college da ' s. C. G. M., ' lo. 4 47 . . An Appreciation There is a constantl increasing number ot men desirous ot spending their money tor the betterment ot their less tortunate tellow men. Large gifts tor philanthropic, missionar ' and educational purposes are ot common occurrence. From such gitts are springing up homes tor the unfortunate, libraries an d art galleries for public en- lightenment, schools, colleges and universities. Far-sighted business men desire to put their mone ' into things ot permanent value. Things that will grow. Philanthropists realize that homes for the untor- tunate, useful and necessar ' as the - are and beautiful as is the sentiment which prompts their erection, do not tend to develop the race as do institutions for the enlightenment ot vigorous young manhood and womanhood. For this reason the proportion ot these gitts is also increasing. Men like to invest in projects which will pa ' dividends. Educational institutions. abo e all others, have demonstrated that the ' can do this. Bethany has proved and shall prove her worth along this line. Since 1844 she has graduated over one thousand men and women, among whom can be mentioned many eminent business and professional men, church-workers, educators and statesmen. But this is onh ' a beginning, for it takes two generations to develop loval. alumni and friends. We have reached this required age. The material improvements which have come to us during the last decade are due to the interest of our many friends, as well as to the indomitable eneig - and untiring labor of our amiable President. The libraiy, gj ' mnasium, dormitory, water and light plant and the new resi- dences in the village are all appreciated, but two acquisitions have been made dur- ing the present session which seem worthy of mention, because of their character and permanent alue. The gift ot the new campus gates seems significant. The donor, a sincere friend ot the College, is a man who especialh ' admires the architecture ot College Hall. e trust that this start toward beautif ing the campus ma ' be speedily followed b ' other contributions of this character. Should w-e not enhance Bethany ' s natural and architectural heaut - as we enlarge her field and increase her eflicienc - r The congratulations ot man friends have come to us during the last tew months, because ot our ha ing added one hundred and fifty-nine thousand dollars to Bethany ' s Permanent Endowment Fund. This book would be incomplete without some men- tion ot our appreciation, as students, ot this magnificent gift. Bethany now has a greater endowment than at the same age had man - of the large universities w ' hich began as church schools. As members of the student-body, during this eventful session of 1909-IO, we ex- tend to our friends our sincere appreciation of their thoughtful interest in our welfare, and ma ' we in turn be influential in bringing about even a greater development ot this institution, which stands for the enthronement of a living Christ in the intellect and heart as the solution of individual and world problems.

They were here before us — and who knows hut that some ma) ' yet remain when the last Freshman has heard the words of commendation from the President and won the privilege ot writing initials both before and after his name. In the opening da s of the fall term of 19OQ we ventured timidh ' among the old students. But our fears were soon put to rest; the Seniors received us in a friendly, it slightly patronizing manner; the Juniors looked us over and decided that we might stay. Yet neither the toleration of the juniors nor the smiles of the Seniors could reconcile us to the loss we felt upon not finding the Sophomores. In our high-school days we had often heard of the royal reception this Class was accustomed to give the Freshmen; but, to our disappointment and humiliation, it was a long time before they appeared, and even et the}- have not appeared in sufficient numbers to cause any consternation in our ranks. We first began to see evidences of a class, neither juniors nor Seniors, about the third week, when we called a Senior ' s attention to some strange specimens that had been keeping in the background. A shadow crossed the face ot the Senior and he replied with great agitation, ' That represents what is called the Sophomore Class. Upon several occasions the Freshmen approached these strange beings, but the Sophomores avoided contact with the Class of 1913. The reasons for this action are still unknown to us, but we have always supposed that it was due either to a mistaken sense of superiority or to a feeling of abject fear. e made several attempts to persuade them to meet us in football. At last they appeared upon the gridiron, ac- companied by a few pit ing Freshmen. We then found that their apprehensions had not been without just grounds. In (ustice to the Sophomores we must give them credit tor their ability to imitate. W hen the juniors and h reshmen combined to punish some unrul} ' students, the Sopho- mores had only to look on for a few evenings before they felt ready to join us. When, after waiting in vain tor action upon the part of the Sophomores, the Freshmen orga- nized, the Class ot iqi2 expressed great surprise at never having thought of such a proceeding before. After several misdirected efforts the ' completed an organization modeled after our own. We understand that the Sophomores boast of two qualities: secrecy and stealth. As to secrecy, we must admit that thev excel us; for we understand that they them- selves never knew ]ust what the - intended to do. And as to stealth, the experience 5° J of one memorable night has proved be)ond doubt that, although they may be able to steal, they are not equal to the task ot getting away with their booty. There is just one kind ot stealth in which they are adept — that is stealing under cover when the Freshmen appear. The ordinary Sophomore is far from energetic, but, when impelled by the courage of despair, they often undertake Herculean tasks. Thev are now laboring under the delusion that the Freshmen are going to put their flag upon a pole, and to prevent this, behold! they have undertaken to lay waste all the forests in this region. We must needs suffer some pangs ot remorse over writing this concerning the Sophomores, when we consider their present pitiable condition. For three days only one Sophomore has been seen after six o ' clock. Our spies discovered him standing alone upon the campus at the black hour of midnight. His strange conduct may have been parth due to the be erages served at the Sophomore banquet. The other members ot the Class are in hiding. It is impossible to discover where they spend their nights, but rumor susirests that thev ma - be hibernatintr under the srvmnasium. All their past faults and idiosvncrasies will be forgiven it, when our flag is raised, thev will venture forth and tr - to bring it down. Morgan and McLain. The Freshman Class By a Sophomore Now it came to pass in the sixt ' -nintli ear ot Bethan ' College, in the reign ot President Cramblett, there returned to this land ouths and maidens, in number one score and ten, and their faces did shine as the sun, for the ' were wise and handsome. And the President beholdeth them afar off and saveth, Lo, von wise men advancing. They it is who are the great and the might . The - it is who shall spread the fame of Bethan - throughout all the land. And. lo. the - are might ' and good to look upon, and their name shall be ' Sophomores. Then Cometh there also man - other youths and maidens from valley and moun- tain, from town and farm, from kindergarten and prep school, and their number was legion. And as the ' journe ed toward tins land those seeing them did flee in horror. For, lo, they did come as barbarians, yea, even worse. And that all mav know the awfulness of this host, I, having seen, will describe the foremost ot their number. z nd, lo, m ' description is from head and downward. The helmet was ot straw, and because of his enormous ears one was reminded imniediatelv of the head- gear worn by pack animals. So like unto the hat was his hair that one could not distinguish hair from hat. His face also was bedecked and adorned with small 51- yellow spots, so that he was spotted like unto the tiger-lily. The trimming for the neck thereof was of bright red. The breast-plate of the youth gave very poor protec- tion to the body. Yea, also, it was like unto a coat of many colors. The trousers thereof, reaching but three fourths of the way to the feet, were adorned before and behind with squares of various colors. The protection for the legs between the place where the trousers stopped and shoes began was in color like unto the rainbow. The coverings for the pedal extremities were enormous, utterh ' be ond m ' ability to de- scribe. Thus, then, did these warriors come forth into our land. And when the President beheld them afar off, lo, he did fall as in a faint. And when upon the second day he came again to life he cried, sa ing, Why must so great a calamity fall upon me r h ' must I endure such torment ? And when he was able he again beheld this throng and, fleeing from them, he cried, Lo, a pestilence has come upon our land, and their name shall be ' Freshmen. ' And, behold, it is time for the Opening Social. And the Sophomores say con- cerning the Freshmen, Lo, we will do them. So tickets are prepared and sold to the Freshmen, and a certain one thereby maketh many shekels of silver and of gold, so that he was admired by all the maidens because of his man ' shekels. And now each of these two hosts choose for themselves a king. The Freshmen knoweth not what a king is tor, and the} ' choose one who, like unto themselves, knoweth nothing. But, behold, the Sophomores choose a king mighty in knowledge and valor. And they each choose also a chief who shall lead them forth into a great battle. And, behold, nian ' uprisings occur and even within the chapel do they war. But the Freshmen are each time conquered, and each time given much good instruc- tion by the Sophomores. Now, there are three among the Freshmen who are known for their much smartness. The Sophomores take these three and tie them up in the schoolhouse over night. And, lo, from this the Freshriien learn man ' lessons that do them much good. Now, therefore, cometh the time for the Sophomore Banquet. And, lo, because of the much good instruction given by the Sophomores, the Freshmen interrupt it not, but look on from the outside, and they peep through windows and keyholes and many other places from which there is much chance to run. Then ariseth the king of the Sophomores and sa eth, Lo, we have conquered. See how the mighty have fallen. We have taught them much good. They are become as grass to our feet. And, lo, after we teach them many more lessons and give them much more good instruction, then shall they be prepared to take our places when the President pro- nounceth us Juniors. And all the Sophomore Class applaudeth. George J. Owens- 52 The Value of Inter-Collegiate Athletics There have been many objections to Inter-Collegiate Athletics, the majority of which are based on the assumption that students interested in athletics are intem- perate in the practice of athletic games. No sane person would maintain that athlet- ics should be shown a preference over class-work, or be engaged in to such an extent as to be injurious to the bod} ' ; neither would any fair-minded person deny that exer- cise is beneficial to students and to all people performing mental labor. Athleties may be called systematized physical exercise. The term here is to be applied not to professional athletics, where tests of strength and endurance constitute ones business, instead of ones recreation, but to athletics as practiced in schools and colleges for the benefit of the students. In tlie latter the candidates for the different teams must practice regularly and persistently, according to a system laid down by the coach. If the teams are to be successful, this system must be followed, day after day, until it is mastered. Such systematic exercise keeps the body in a healthv condition and, since the capacity of the mind depends to a large extent upon the condition of the body, it is of inestimable value to the student. There are man - intellectual giants with pigmy bodies, and many students taking class honors who do not engage in athletics, but when physical and mental strength are combined, the endurance of the former makes possible greater works of the latter. There is something much more important than mere physical strength to be derived from these contests. It is the moral strength; the control of self, made necessary by the strict rules to which collegiate-athletics are subjected; the power of quick decision, so essential to a successful athlete; the determination to do ones best and keep on fighting, whether winning or losing, and the abilit ' to make a defeat a help instead of a hindrance. These are necessary to a successful career in the business world, and college athletics will draw out, develop, improve or assist in the formation of such essentials of character more than any amount of Greek, Mathe- matics or Collegiate-debating. These beneficial results are to be derived from both inter-class and inter-collegiate athletics, but the benefits of the latter far surpass those of the former. In the inter- collegiate there is more at stake. It means much to lose to a rival class, but how much more does it mean to lose to a rival college ? There is more at stake and, conse- quenth ' , more training, more control and more determination must be used in the preparation for and the pla ing of these games. Again, there is a spirit developed in the inter-collegiate contest among the sup- porters and the members of the teams which can not be attained through inter-class contests. This spirit unites the students under a common cause; it induces them to stand up for, and fight for, their school; it continues after leaving school, and will be a powerful factor in their lives when class differences have long since been forgotten. New students will be attracted to an institution where such a spirit is displa ed, desir- ing to participate in a loyalty that makes sacrifice for the school. Again, these inter-collesriate contests ma ' serve as a medium through which the school becomes known. People who have never heard of certain small colleges 53 will become acquainted with them through the columns of the newspapers. Prospec- tive students having the choice of two schools, one offering ever advantage except athletics, the other giving the same courses, but having a strong athletic association, will naturally turn to the school which gives them the opportunity- of developing their bodies as well as their minds; tor deep down in the heart ol neaih ' ever ' student there is a desire to win a place on the arsit ' , ' and in this way do something tor his College. I firmh ' believe that intercollegiate athletics are an asset to any school, and that they are ot especial value to a small college like Bethany. Here we have had no oppor- tunities tor gymnasium work, and have been hindered in many ways b} ' our lack ot funds, which has kept athletic conditions trom being what the ' should be. Now, if inter-coUegiate athletics will assist both the students and the college, as the - most certainly will, we can not afford to do away with them, but should do nil in our power to improve them. I. H. Chapman. Here and Hereafter The annual gathering ot graduates, oung and old, is characterized b} ' pleasant incidents, the renewal ot old friendships and the strengthening of interest in the institution the ' call their Alma Mate ' - But when the printed accounts of these meetintrs are searched, not a word is to be found showinsr what influence the College is exerting over the discussion and decision of the social, financial and governmental questions that are fermenting now as never before. Instead, there are plenty of stones and incidents of coUesje life, an abundance ot jokes to make the audience laugh, and perhaps a statement of the financial condition of the College, with an appeal for funds. The discussion of athletics, paiticularU ' of football, has recently been given much prominence at these meetings, and some hero of the gridiron ' ' is lauded with praise for upholding the honor of his College on the athletic field. But not one word as to the place the College should be taking in modern lite and in the settlement of the questions that face the people as a nation. It is not strange that a protest is being made against this sort ot thing, and the man whose treasure consists wholly of moldy chestnuts is being relegated to the corner, while the man of ideas and purposes Is being brought to the front. If the American Republic is to be saved, if the great work begun here tor humanity is to be pushed on, it public life is to be purified, if the momentous questions now pressing for solution are to be righth ' answered, the college graduate must do the larger part ot the work. It seems eas ' to keep the under-graduate up to his ideals while breathing the atmosphere of college life. But the danger ot being swamped ' comes after he has gone our into life. And there can be no greater disappointment happen him than when he attends an alumni meeting, hoping to breathe again the atmosphere of college life, to have his aspirations dampened b ' seeing men ot force, brain power and originalit ' thrust into the background, while someone whose highest ambition is to put the audience into a ' ' giggle is thrust to the front.

A composition for cheapness, and not for excellence of workmanship, is the mc l frequent and certain cause of the rapid decay and entire destruc- tion of arts and manufactures. — Ruskin OUR claim to your considera- tion lies in the fact that we have applied to our own business the thought contained in this quotation from one of the world ' s greatest thinkers and practical workers. If there is anything attractive beyond the ordinary, in the page arrangement, cover decoration, presswork, and general harmony which distinguish our work, be assured it has not been due to chance. We leave nothing to chance. Every line, page, volume, as it comes from our establishment is the result of a carefully laid, con- scientiously executed plan.
