Jne Jdetnanian 1912 I ' -ilta MAIN COLLEGE BUILDING page Two y r Page Three e e t We the Editors and Manager of the Bethanian of 1012 have worked hard on this annual. We beheve it worthy of ad- miration in spite of its shortcomings. It is with a certain sense of pride that we send it out to the great Bethany Family. It is something tangible a reality, to which we can point as being the result of our labors. We trust that } ' ou will consider it worthy to take its place in the slowly growing library of Bethany an- nuals. Having assumed the responsibility for this book, we believe it futile to make apologies for its contents. Any parts that may require such, we hope may be regarded with magnanimity b}- our readers. Following our time honored custom, we have tried to pre- sent the Senior and Jimior Classes in their photographical en- tirety, a few, out of modesty and others for less laudable reas- ons, have never surrendered their solios. I ike difficulties were experienced in securing desired data, but we beleive the in- formation and characterizations accompanying each name arc comparatively accurate if not inclusive. Bethany offers that true education which is the symetrical development of mind, bod} ' and soul. This annual is intended to represent the college activities, we have accordingly divided it into departments corresponding to the four phases of college life — intellectual, religious, social and athletic. The Editors wish to take this opportunity to express their appreciation to Professors A. R. Bourne, Phillip Johnston, Her- man Deutsch, and to Miss Garda Bachell and Henry C. Kiefer, for their valuable assistance in preparing this book. We have failed in manv points to realize our expectations, but we hope that you will receive kindly and consider attentively this product of our labors, ever remembering that we have been confronted bv man - difticultics and limitations. THE EDITORS, Page Fo Page Fh •  • ' oicing the sincere affection of all whom you have in- structed in Bethany College, we, the Senior and Junior Classes, gratefully dedicate the Bctlwiiian of 1912 to you Mrs. Anna iR.

BLAIR Page Eight BETHANIAN STAFF Page Nil The Charm of Bethany Prof. A. R. Bourne. For many years Bethany was so far away from the world — so remote from all that goes to make up the rush and the clang of modern existence — that even the Disciples of Christ seemed half inclined to shove her gently into obliv- ion and go about more important concerns of church and education. True, Bethany was rich in sacred associations. She had great presences about her. Quietly camping on her little hillside cemetery were her Campbells and her Pendletons and through the long night of her humiliation they pointed their white shafts ever toward the stars, registering mute prophesies of things to be, prophesies of things which are now coming to pass. For a new Bethany is rapidly springing up beside the Old Bethany of song and story. If you are skeptical, reader, about this new Bethany, get off the train some fine day at the little town of Wellsburg, West Virginia, and take the trolley for Bethany. Pretty soon you will be speeding through one of the most picturesque valleys in this country. As you swing around the curves of a clear little stream, glide over the bridges, skim the brink of the precipices, emerge from a tunnel or so, you will begin to feel the charm of life in a region where most of the world ' s voices come softened through all manner of green and tranquil things. Soon your car will have leaped the final chasm and landed you in the principal street of Bethany. You may be surprised, even though you were one of the Centennial pilgrims, to find yourself, not in a sluggish little hamlet, lost in dreams of the past, but in the midst of appearances resembling a Kansas boom. What has come over this drowsy little daughter of the hills? Bulidings are ris- ing ; a superb new gateway crowns the slope leading to the campus. On every side is felt the throb of new life. As you alight from the trolley you will notice on your left, where the old Ranch used to stand, the Percy Cochran Memorial hall, erected to the memory of one of liethany ' s sons by his father. Judge Coch- ran of Uniontown, Pa. Just in front of you rises the imposing new gateway a])proached by a spac- ious avenue paved with brick, and bordered on each side by a wide strip of green sward and concrete paving. The gateway is of Gothic design, the architecture of which is wrought out in harmony with Collegiate Gothic of the main college buildings. It consists of two hexagonal columns of dark red brick, supported on white stone foundation and surmounted by white stone turrets tipped with Goth- ic finials. Between these columns is a pair of handsome wrought iron gates. To left and right of the colunms is thrown a graceful wing pierced by an arched gateway for pedestrians. The tripple gateway opens on a paved court formed by a semi-circular excavation in the slope of the hill from wJiich broad flights of steps lead in a spiral to a stone platform faced by a stone parapet. From this platform the m ain walk, after passing another flight of steps, rises by a gentle slope to the great front door in the center of the building. From the same plat- form cement walks, winding to right and left under the trees, approach the various other buildings. This entire structure was erected at a cost of $3,000 and is the gift of Mr. Earl W. Oglebay of Wheeling, West Virginia, an alumnus of the college. Pa{ie Ten The latest gift of this munificent friend of Bethany is the handsome new Hall of Agriculture, rising at the northern end of the college building. It occu- pies the site of the wing destroyed some years ago by fire. The spacious Oxford window of painted Gothic above the main portals of the building rivalls in symmetry and proportion those of European colleges. This, with the fine castel- lated tower which so nobly completes the dignity of the whole, sends one ' s thoughts dreaming of Old World legends in stone and story. It is to such legacies as this that Bethany is indebted for the charm of her name. Our state institutions far and near have rich and costly structures reared at the expense of the body politic, and their material equipment is surpassingly adequate for the purposes of intellectual training. In Bethany the affections of men have slowly grown with the growth of the trees, with the slow lapse of years. What Bethany has today of worth is the gift of hearts that love her, loyal sons who have held her in reverence, and, after years of success in the marts of busi- ness, have returned to honor her with their substance. We have here also gifts that speak not only of the sunshine of prosperity but also of sorrow — votive gifts to those who come no more. Such are the gifts of men like Thomas W. Phillips and jM. M. Cochran. In these Bethany has an inheritance rich beyond the cost of brick and stone and sculptured shield. Here sentiment, like a frail Daphan- ous robe ' throws its tender grace over all things — over the college, over the entire little valley, couching in the embrace of the hills to the soft inland murmur of waters. In the clear pools of her little river, great men of the Restoration have been buried in Christian baptism ; in the folded hills lie the ashes of her dead. The holiest affections of the human heart have sung themselves into the very walls of each rising structure. All these things lend an indefinable charm and will ever give to old Bethany the sanctity of a shrine.

The little prep with all his tears. Before thy presence awed appears, And trembling listens for his fate ! The seniors know thy laws of steel. Which laws have suffered not repeal, They know ' twas hard with these to cope, What conflicts waged, yet e ' er defeat. Strive not, O Freshies, these laws to mock, They are established like a rock; O Sophs, these iron-clad rules well hail, Or ellse thy pleasures they ' ll curtail ! In spite of Juniors loudest roar. In spite the fact they loudly swore, Toil on O Profs., such laws decree. Our flunks, our grades are all with thee, Our flunks, our grades, our joys, our tears. The Sheep-skins for our future years Are all with thee, are all with thee. — From The Miiscolojuan, ' 11. Page Twenty-FiTe The Coming Faculty M|k; F. R. Gay, Jr. W. B.

CHAMP CLARK Bethany has always been proud of her sons and daughters. Some of them are found in the most influential places in the land. She never forgets them. Just now there are none of her sons that we are any more proud of than the subject of this sketch. Some of the other schools have said that they were ahead of Bethany because we never turned out a president. Just now it looks very favorable for Bethany to turn the trick on them. Champ Clark is a man whom we all love and Bethany is very an.xious for his victory. In fact we are so interested in his cause that we have organized a Champ Clark club in Bethany. Xearly all the students have joined it. Democrats, republicans and all want to see Bethany ' s great son thus honored. Page Twenty-Eiyht SEHNSUCHT Oh! for a voice from that star-girt realm. An echo, a sound from its reaches of calm. To breathe on the tumult of life and say There is flushing so mewhere a serener day, O ' er the tempest and din, the unresting and sin, To fall on our hearts as our loved ones pass In, To whisper of life, of its taintless bliss, Above — oh! above the mad whirl dance of this! I listened long but the night gave back No token, no sound from its fire-paved track. Empaled in silence lay the goal And the yearning of ages swept in on my soul. But lo! a light from the cloud appears. Above the rush of throttling years A human hand is raised to bless And human lips part in tenderness, Down the death-way of years a foot fall nears, And a human face dashed with human tears. The dawn light ui)on it. majestic, calm- eyed. Looks forth in life ' s sorrow, the clouds divide. Oh! can it be that Maker of all Is treading beside us the gloom and the thrall? I believe it. The hand that fashioned the sea. Is the hand that struck calm into deep nalilee, Oh brother, ' twas C!od walked the dusk of our zone Here ' s a bethel of souls, come, plant you a stone. A. R. B.

We sit in the shade of her trees and we ponder. Shall we ever return and our loyalty prove? For to service we hear the world call us, Oh the world does not will that we longer here stay. But the thoughts that forever we have so appall us, That in sorrow and sadness now turn we away. So full of cheer, Bethany dear! Up ' mongst the green hills, Bethany stands. And though we have grieved her, We pray as we leave her. That we may deserve this iWater so grand. The parting draws nearer, the hours do not linger. And now the last sweet days have come. When Bethany fair though we long yet to linger. We must turn and must go each our way alone. Foe Bethany cannot keep us forever. Nor do we desire that we longer might st ay, But Oh it is hard those true friendships to sever! It is hard from our carefree life to break ' way. So full of cheer, Bethany dear! Up ' mongst the green hills Bethany stands. And though we have grieved her. We pray as we leave her. That we- may deserve this Mater so grand. For she will keep growing, while we will go striving In the big world full of hard knocks and care. But we know that her heart will be glad if we ' re thriving And we know, though removed far, her love will still share, And if we succeed in the work we have planned for, Her true praise will thrill us far more than the rest. For we ' ll feel that we ' ve held to the ideals she stands for, And in her glad smile we ' ll be honored and blest. So full of cheer, Bethany dear! Up ' mongst the green hills Bethany stands. And O may no base thought. In our coming life blot The pure inspiration we ' ve had from her hands! Page Thirty-Ont; JAMKS R. WILKIN, A. B. (Classical), A. M. New Cumberland, W. Va. KAPPA ALPHA.

PaiJe Forty Senior History W f In the latter part of the year 1008, old Bethany in her grandeur and her majestic stateliness presented to an earnest band of knowledge seekers, a s]3ectacle at once both beautiful and inspiring. She held to the view of this searching band vistas draped with cosmic beauty, landscapes, teeming with a myriad life, and real treasures stores for the gratification of vision and heart. To Bethany this group of young lives presented a great mystery, for it is well known that man, alone, is the hidden secret which baffles every intellect, however powerful and acute. Even the Ionic philosophers were right wlien they said, Mystery, thy name is man. Having converged from various States at this Mecca of Christian people, these diamonds in the rough, possessing many faculties and powers — imagina- tion, motion, conscience, courage, patience, faith, hope, and love : gave themselves over into the hands of the expert workmen to be cut and polished. What a task it seemed to the seers of Bethany to develop the mind and body and to mould the character of these straggling youths. Yet, out of the number who came in 19(18 are found those who will give justice from behind the bar, those who will grace the teaching profession, those who will make wives and husbands, (At least one who has already made one. ). and those who will proclaim the salvation of lost souls. As freshmen we held our own on the athletic field and in literary effort. As Sophomores we gained the proverbial wisdom which is always given to that class in college circles. As Juniors we were noted by our banquets, oratorical powers, and schol- astic honors. As Seniors we believed that any member of the class is able to stand on his or her own merits and carry off the honors of the da) ' . Our last year at this, our . lma Mater, has been one of unbroken success. The relations to the members of the faculty who have guided our feeble efforts towards obtaining a higher education and more fully preparing ourselves to meet the great battles of life which face us in the world have been pleasant and profitable. To them we owe many thanks. It is not our purpose to say farewell to our frends and fellow students, or to the faculty, although we may be separated forever in this world, as we all believe in optimism and think that we may live better in the hearts of our friends after we leave than when we are present in body. Therefore, we commend to the watch and care of the Junior class of 1912, the keeping of the honored customs of Bethany College, the training of the feeble Freshmen who stand where we once stood, and the preservation of the high standards of scholasticism, oratory, and gentlemanliness.

As Freshmen they proved to the Sophomores that they were not to be trifled with, neither with brains or brawn. In the annual class fight, carried on in the time honored way, they came off victorious over the Sophomores. Then in a joint de- bate with the Sophomores, they came so near winning, that they have never been challenged in any other contest requiring knowledge and oratorical skill. As Sophomores they cast a spell over the Freshmen that it required the assistance of their Guardian Angel and the speci- fied rules of. the President to get them to raise their colors. And when the day set for the contest arrived, though they had the assistance of the Seniors and the Prep, department combined, they would not raise their flag because Nature aided the Sopho- mores with a cold wave. By the rules formerly agreed upon, the Sophomores claimed the victory. The present Junior class, though it has lost and added some good members, still has a number of its charter members. In our ranks we have preachers, teachers, lawyers, doctors, and musi- cians. We have carried ourselves so nobly that even now a num- ber of students cannot distinguish between Seniors and Juniors. The outlook for the class is bright and we hope to add a num- ber of honored members to Bethany ' s already illustrious alumni association. R. H. Page Forty-Tfiree C. H. HUIiME; When the Freshies of 1910 arrived on the Campus there was among them, a big bushy headed fellow from the hills of Pennsylvania. Attired in a light suit, tan shoes, blue socks and red necktie, he sought admittance to the Ministerial De- partment. No one paid much attention to this h usky fellow at first. However, by his amiable disposition and flattery he soon won his way to hearts of several fair damsels, but one day it came out he was married and then it was all off. Dad also made his record in the class room. It goes without saying he is the best student in College. He tells you this himself. Not only does he play an important role in College affairs, but his fame is beginning to spread over the country as a preacher. Some day Bethany will feel proud of Dad , for when he gets out into the world. Henry Ward Beecher will be in the shade. Dear Editor: — I hail from the Smoky City. My pur- pose in coming to Bethany was for bizzi- ness alone. This is why I live down town instead of Phillips Hall. I consider my- self a star in my classes, especially in Chemistry. Prof. Workman thinks so too. I am also gifted as a speaker, equal to any occasion that demands my talent. You may also be glad to know that I am a suffragette, I believe in woman ' s rights and my ambition is after I have finished college to lead the women to victory. You may expect to see me an important figure in the cause of Women ' s Suffrage in the future. Lovingly, EDNA McMASTER. ROBERT HXTESTOX. Hobhie is a model student — scholar, chorister, historian, athlete, class scrapper and veteran Bizzite. He is a faithful cham- pion of the Faculty and does not believe in the students ' dictating to that august body. The Junior class considers itself most fortunate in being associated with genial, generous-hearted, thunny Bob. rage Forty-Fonr JOHN CLIXTOX PRYOR. Above all things Clint is a scholar. In his classes he has been eminently success- ful — has made them in record time and walked all the way. Judging by his ser- ious dignified manner one would never dream of the wealth of natural wit and humor stored up in that red head of his. Purthernioi-e, he is remarkable in that he is a prophet not without honor in his own country being the Bishop of the Diocese in which he was born. VELMA RODEFER. From Shadyside, just across the river in Ohio, she came in the fall of 1910 with Onward — as her motto. They , she and her motto, have proven themselves true students of all subjects and not only the Junior Class but also Bethany College are justly proud of them. She is merry on occasions, pleasant always but modest to the extreme, for instance; Only 99 per cent in Greek; 9 7 per cent in Cal. Busy always and bizzy generally, briefly; Petite and neat. Pair and sweet, She charms all Who with her meet. EARXEST HXTXTER WRAY. This is Earnest Hunter Wray of Vir- ginia and none has ever been found who has had the temerity to shorten the name. Dignity is his stock-in-trade and many is the time when a Freshman has mistaken him tor the President or at least a Trus- tee. The class has few members that are so talented. He can sing, play, paint, act, (see picture as skeleton in Everyman ) and is truly an all around valuable man. The saddest part of it all is that he is a confirmed woman hater and while we are sure that he will shine as a bright star from the pulpit and platform, we fear it will be alone. So far the only one he has taken into his heart and affection is a bull terrier. On the whole we are very proud of this tall Virginian. Page Forty-FiTe HELJL1S L. JnLLER Helmas hit Bethany in the fall of 1908 and has been striking ever since until now he is struck with Mae. Bizzite???? If anyone would like to be coached in biz, Helmas is the boy who can do it. He will show you how to get the inside track with- out seeming to want it, and how to en- tertain a young lady in the kitchen, mak- ing candy, while her intended is waiting for her in the parlor. A student? Yes, one of the best, not so talkative as some of the rest but when it comes to examina- tions, this New Yorker is ready. The Junior Class expects great things of their brother. MARY PERRY. This classmate of ours is to be praised for her class spirit and her earnest efforts to help her Junior companions. She is al- ways to be depended upon, both in class and in other college activities. Always cheerful, gentle and kind, she has indeed gianed the admiration and esteem of all who know her. She is one of our Beth- any girls and this of course is quite con- venient for Bob. who must prepare some lessons with her, and without doubt, the warm friendship which exists between them is due to nothing more than the ar- dent preparation of these difficult lessons. With her pleasing personality and her earnest efforts, we can all say that she is deserving of much praise. E. E. HARMOX. Better known as Stone Age. Last year he did great work as sub on the pig- skin eleven and tliis year played such a brilliant game that the coach could not keep him off the varsity squad. He used to tell of his great ability as a baseball player, and from the form in which he came out last year, we know that he has been in the game before. This year his nerve seemed to take a different turn and he has made an excel- lent record in biz., and is an ardent ad- mirer of Intellectual Avenue. Page Forty-Six O. A. RODEFER. Who is this fellow with the pronounced strawberry complexion? Why that ' s Pete!!! Pete Who? Pete Rodefer, sometimes known by the appelation of On- ward. A Bizzite?? Not exactly, but great (Scott) he will be If he keeps on. Pete ' s of rather Onward ' s career has been just one calamitous event after another. Nevertheless he has maintained a good name among his fellows. As one is known by the company he keeps, so Onward us- ually can be picked out by a constant com- panion. Even tho ' he doesn ' t study but eighteen hours a day he generally has his lessons. In fact, Rodefer has a knack of getting what he goes after. ELVA MANN. We wish to introduce you to Miss Elva, a girl of whom we are proud because she is always ready and willing to take her part in all the activities of college life ex- cept bizz . Although she has her Mann with her always, she is never seen with him, but is often heard to repeat his name Lawsie . Elva, unlike some diligent students, is jolly and full of fun. With her good record here, we expect her to win fame in years to come for her Alma Mater and her class. JOHN KTNLEY TENER. Here, gentle reader is one of the many J. K. Teners who hail from Wheeling. Kenley is a beloved cousin of Gov. Tener of Pennsylvania, and is slightly inclined to politics himself. When angered he empts masses of liquified jaw-breakers, but in- stantly drops into a sphinx-like silence at the appearance of a co-ed. Sh-she lives in Wheeling, accounting for his frequent vis- its home, and his extreme non-bizzite- ness in this vicinity. Above all a good student, a good fellow, and a typical col- lege man, as he has a disgust for every- thing in the shape of a freshman. Forty-Seven ARCHIE LIXXVILLE. This is Archie Linnville, the best math- ematician in school. Arch even taught the professor of 1910 a few things about Calculus. He appears to be a very staid fellow, but really he has a very sweet smile for those who know him. Although he is one of the best students in school, he has flunked out entirely in the most popular course offered, i. e., Biz. He believes it is better not to have loved at all, than to have loved and lost. J. ROXAIiD GLEXX. Brother .1. Ronald Glenn hails from the state of North Carolina. He is the busiest man since Adam. The following are a few of the things which occupy his tim«; printing, publishing, preaching, be- sides being a student. J. Ronald, being agent for innumerable concerns, can sell you anything from in- surance and Cross-Reference Bibles to lo- comotives. Besides his ability to inter- rogate his professors, Bro. Glenn is noted for his oratorical powers and his hilarious laughter. J. ALBERT HALL J. A. Hall came to us fresh from Balti- more. We did not know J. A., we did know Baltimore — was noted for its oys- ters — , and besides lemons are served with oysters. Remember we said we did not know J. A. Now. do not think that we say J. A. is a lemon, far be it from us!! When the baseball season opened, we judged him as an Oriole Twirler by his efficiency in the Preachers ' League, but this also was a delusion. It was the third year of his sojourn amongst us, we learned the real state of affairs. It was none other than the state of marriage. Now we throw aside the undignified name of Baltimore and address him as the Rev, J, A. Hall. Page Forty-Eight AATLLTAM S. SHXTTTLEAVORTH. Two yars ago last fall, a crude, rough, rustic individual from the buckwheat dis- tricts of West Virginia, sauntered through the Bethany portals. This mysterious character was William Socrates Shuttle- worth, Little did we realize what a gen- ius had come into our midst. He is not a man of many words but one of action, as is demonstrated in every phase of Beth- any ' s athletics. His influence is also felt in literary and society circles, having dis- tinguished himself by writing the poem entitled, Dewdrops, and by going on biz once when he wasn ' t compelled to. Dear Editor: — I don ' t live in Bethany, I had my origin in Wellsburg. You have noticed I am a man of few words, the deepest water is always still, ' ' that ' s why I keep my mouth shut. I am not a regular student in my classes but occasionally pay them a visit. I have always wanted to go on bizz, but haven ' t the nerve to ask a girl. This year is my best chance to be proposed to and I am living in hope. After I leave college I expect to win for myself a rep- utation by making some radical changes in the ministry. Sincerely, EARL BIDDLE. J. AV. anTCHELL. The classiest, best dressed, and best looking young man in Bethany, one of the fair sex was heard to remark about the original of this picture. The reason is given in a word: He ' s from Charleroi. Mr. Mitchell originally planned to con- tniue his education in W. J., but upon hearing the field agent recite the glories of our institution on the old Buffalo, he straightway packed his pictures and pen- nants and came to Bethany. During his Sophomore year, he capitulated to a stately co-ed and now receives dailies, post-marked Somerset, Pa. We wish for Mitch all possible success in the bizz and business world and are awaiting the time when we can proudly view the shin- gle of J. W, Mitchell, M. D. Page Forty-Nine WIIJilAM MEREDITH NORMENT. Here is Bill, another worthy son of the Old Dominion. Married, a preacher, yet an all around good fellow, who has the most cordial Howdy in the school. Bill nas, so far, almost extinguished himself in work in school, but when he hits old Satan ' s trail, and releases the potent and fiery oratory, characteristic of him, the fur will fly!!! EDWIX W. AVELLS. It is with pardonable pride that the Junior class has the name of this ponder- ous bulk of brain and brawn engraved upon its scroll. Ever since this figure left his paternal environment and strolled forth to Bethany he has been a tower of influence in college activities. As an ath- lete he is the paragon of physical perfec- tion, having starred in both football and basketball. Pud makes good in his studies too (Pa please take note). Edwin may be introduced to those who know him not by the savage, uncouth yells, Y-i-i-p-ling skordles — Yooowd ling Scknumps ! ! ! ! MOODY EDAYARDS. This is Moody Edwards, Bishop of West Virginia. Moody carries only six studies, preaches twice every Sunday, has charge of eighty-seven churches in the state, and attends every convention held in the state. His favorite sport is fighting the Anti-s This is only the third year Moody has been a .Junior, but this is not Moody ' s fault: the curriculum grows larger every year. But we hope to take him out with us next year. Moody has attempted Bizz many times but is still free. Although he is always with a Moody fellow, yet he is one of the wittiest and jolliest fellows in school. Paije Fifty Who ' s Who of the Sophomores Freshmen, take these illustri ous people for your models ! C. E. Rostofer, our most worthy President, is chief office holder around these parts. Besides being our president, he has the distinction of being toastmaster of the Rechabites, Lord High Chancelled of the Bizites, and Poet Laureate of Bethany. If the present aspirations of our Vice-President, Allen P. Milliken, which have for some time been directed toward the Buckeye State, are not soon real- ized, will they end with a ( K)nell? Blanche and Libbets are the David and Jonathan of our class. We see them together in the classroom, society hall, on the campus, on the corridor, at lectures, on the streets of the village and in the ice cream parlor. May we always see them together. G. L. Ferguson, quack doctor, renowned orator, and sweet singer, is an exception to most of the boys of the class in that he has no eyes for the fair maids of Bethany. Wonder why? Myrle Cunningham manifests dignity and knowledge worthy of a Senior, but she doesn ' t like to be told that she ' s smart. T. C. Horn, whose favorite name for himself is ten-cent-horn tooted in from the rural districts and avowed his intention of learning to blow his horn from the pulpit. Clifton L Teisher— Biz ! ! ! ! Elsie Geraldine Oleo Margarine possesses the longest name in the class. Her length of name is equalled only by her breadth of fame. Her intellect is no less bright than her eyes. Loving Joe lives up to his name. For it has been said I never saw a fellow like Brooks. He can make love to six girls at the same time, and not have any of them mad at him. In the case of Dale Ross, history has repeated itself. For has not the Hessian force lost out? That like dislikes like has been disproved. John O. McNeeley, retiring, unassuming, shows evidence of a liking for a modest and shy little girl in Phillips Hall. C. C. Wilkinson — ministerial student, volunteer missionary and benedict. H. H. Kidd, has broken the record and gone beyond the limit. We chal- lenge any other class in school to show a student who can beat Kidd ' s average of 99 8-9 per cent. Fate tried to conceal them by naming them Smith, but to no avail. Popu- larly known as Big Smth and Little Smith, both have become famous, the one in Athletics, the other in biz. Romaine is not a sleigh bell, nor a church bell ; neither is she a dinner bell, but since she is the only Bell of the school, whv not call her a school bell? R. Donald Beck, of New York City, — tra la ! He is a baseballologist and basketball star of the class. He shines not only in athletics but also in the classroom. Another musician is Bessie Spence. who plays so well that she makes Sparkes fly. D. P. Morris, our ' ocalist, prefers the German melodies but he likes Phillips Hall bread and syrup. The friend of everybody, one of the most popular boys in school, a good student, and an all-around fellow, is Bobbie Wilkin.

Since the day of matriculation the dignified Seniors have looked upon us with admiration, and the trembling Sophomores soon perceived that the class of 191. j was not the easy mark that the Freshman classes of other years have been. The first distinguishing feature of this class was that not one of them passed through the fiery trials of hazing. This was due to the fact that the Sophomores were so terror stricken that they dared not molest one of our num- ber. At an early date a meeting was called to which fiftv loyal Freshmen re- sponded. The officers were chosen and installed, and an auspicious class was or- ganized. Air. Lawrence Doak, our esteemed President, has inspired the class with lofty ideals and noble ambitions. It was in the class room where the Sophs first sat up and took notice. There as elsewhere, the Freshmen have won laurels of success. Not only has the class figured so prominently in the class rooms, but on the athletic field as well. At least half of our best athletes hailed from the freshman class. In the basketball game between Geneva and Bethany, victory would not have been ours had it not been for the dexterious plays of Dink Miller, and his efficient Freshmen associates. Not only in basket ball, but in foot ball as well, has success been partly, if not wholly, due to the valued assistance rendered by the faithful and skilled freshies. In biz, as in everything else, have the freshmen been very conspicuous, having taken the lead as soon as they arrived on the scene of action. All records were broken by the freshmen going on biz the first term, and, in fact the first month while the poor Sophs, da red not even remonstrate against this first violation of the time-honored custom of the valley of the Buffalo. From time immemorial the fair sex has looked up to those who possess great intellectual powers. In this, Bethany has been no exception, for the freshies soon won and held the hearts of the fairest of the fair, while the forlorn Sophs, could only behold them with envious eyes. The Sophs, breathed a sigh of relief when they learned that the annual class fight was to be dispensed with, for they realized that a disastrous defeat would be theirs. However, their state of undue anxiety was wholly unnecessary, for the class of 191.5 has risen above the barbarious custom of brutal class fights, and stands for the highest ideals of manhood, and womanhood, of worth and efficiency, and for the truest type of Christian character. So much for the history of the Freshman Class For its future we pre- dict glory and honor. Watch us ! LYDA HUMPHREY.

From the very first year of the college, on throughout the full extent of its history the training offered by the literary societies has been considered one of the conspicuous features of the advantages afforded at Bethany. The American Literary Institute and the Neotrophian Lit- erary Society began to make history in 1841 — the very year in which the college was founded. The college and the societies grew together. Each soicety was a distinct social and literary group within the larger college group. And with the growth of the societies in strength of numbers and in that sort of prestige, which comes with the age and character of its traditions, men counted it a rare honor to have membership in and to participate in the activities of these institutions. The class consciousness became so distinct that an expert might almost foretell what manner of man would be turned out on commencement day from the fashioning influences of these respective institutions. It was an honor to have membership in a group already famous because of the worth of its distinguished sons — a distinction to call them members of my societv and an inspiration to follow their lead. What social distinction, what intellectual comrad- ship ! How fine to feel the contagion of their ideals and aspira- tions and achievements ! Dreams and visions and air castles floated before the mind of the hope building vouth. On such stufi did their young hearts feed, and by such feeding did their young lives grow. Nothing, apart from their regular college work, has helped Bethany students more than the work of these literary societies. Their privileges were open to all. Here the Freshman made his oratorical debut, the Sophomore declaimed his high sounding and jrnate phrases, the Junior — a thing of beauty and a joy forever — painted his picture of hope, and the Senior pointed his hearers toward the serious and grave responsibilities of life. In these days there was no preparatory department. The lines of de- marcation between the classes were drawn with distinctness. If this rigid classification made the freshman a babe in college life and lore, and if the scant countenance accorded him in social circles reduced the circumference of his social ostentations, the privileges of the literary societies were granted him without stint and without restraint. Here he might enter forthwith and exploit his abilities to the full. Not only could the gifted and Page Sixty-One Ijrilliant find audience for the fullest exhibition of talent, but the n-ediocre and timid were accorded a cordial and sympathetic hearing. There was real pride and promise in these budding literary spirits. Lawyers and lecturers, teachers and preachers, were being trained to shine in public life. ] Ien wanted to learn how to t:ilk in jiublic — and to talk well — entertainingly and con- vincingly. There was real faith in oratory and the orator. Pat- rick IIenr - and liurke and Cicero and Demosthenese were the idols. Contests within the societies and between the societies were the order of the day. To train and exhibit the abilities of the men in debate, in oratory, in composition, in inijM ' omptu speaking, and in declamation was the purpose of the programme. Rivalry was keen and strong. This life was robust and vigorous. Some mighty men grew and fought and wrought in these clas- sic struggles. Problems of state, church, science, and theology were siezed u]3on, grappled with, debated, and settled once for all by these young Titans. These were not sham-battles over shal- low issues. Serious young men were here thinking of deep things, and training for bigger ones. Intellectual gymnastics to be sure, Init of such a fine and classic kind that the truths that were learned here by these boys went into the very fibre of the soul and lived to grow with the growth of the man. The work that was dune here — well done — was done once for all. Here in college the youth began his candidacv for man- hood. Here he steeled his lance for the foeman worthv of his contest. Here Greek met Greek and the tug of war was on. In these societies Bethany men learned to forge the thunder bolts of Jove. Here was free speech, fair play and an open field. From these societies went Bethanv ' s noted sons: Alex- ander Proctor, ; Ioses E. Lard, Charles Louis Loos, and the La- mars — illustrious father, and more illustrious son — . McGarvey and McDiarmid, McLain and Power, Champ Clark and E. O. Lovett, Herbert L. W ' illett and J. E. Wayman, Senator Oliver and E. T. Williams, Oscar Schmiedel and George Darsie and many others, whose glory diiifereth as the ,glory of one star diff- ereth from that of another. In later years other societies sprang into being. The Adelphian was organized to meet the demands of that class of young men who were being educated here for the ministry. Af- ter the construction of the Carnegie Library building, which af- forded the society a chance to secure a separate and distinct room, the . delphian society moved, and set up housekeeping in brand new quarters. Concurrent with this movement came a change of policy and a putting on of new manners. They put Page Sixty-Two away the old policy of a sermonette society and took on a new- one — became a full orbed literary society. They suffered a dis- tinct step in evolution. This was an advance. The other so- cieties — yet contemporaries of their own unwasted prime — extended their congratulations and accepted the challenge. With admission of the young ladies to the college came the organization of a literary society exclusively for ladies — the Os- solian. For a number of years this society flourished and devel- oped a distinct class consciousness — of an exclusively feminine sort. But as the college became more and more accustomed to its co-education status the lines of differentiation between the lit- erary aspirations of the sexes faded out and the co-educational spirit invaded and possessed the literary societies also — with one exception — Neotrophia has not as yet admitted the ladies to membership. The Ossolian, however, has refused to die, though it has passed through frequent and protracted illness. At pres- ent it exhibits signs of complete recovery. It is regrettable that the societies have lost much of that fine enthusiasm of former years and some of the good old traditions. To mention the causes and suggest corrections would not be amiss, were it possible. If we have lost our love for the moral impulse that lies behind the cultured college education, can we not regain it by cherishing the ideals of the finished and classic scholar? If the commercial demjand for high specialization in manifold fields of business and industry alure and attract our boys, can we not insist that the humanities should adorn and magnify these technical callings? The human, the aesthetic, the moral, the spiritual values have been and must always be the highest and most desirable values. It is the mission of our col- leges to exalt and teach these doctrines and wage a perpetual warfare against any teaching that subordinates these enobling spiritual values to any purely economic propoganda.

The Bethan) ' of 1912 is not the Bethany of a decade ago, — nor of a vear ago. Great changes have taken place and much has been done to give her the position she rightfully deserves among our colleges. Never was she so well equipped for educational purposes: never did she appeal so strongly to the aes- thetic nature of man. And her glory is not yet full. Great things are still in store. With her increased endowment she is able to maintain a larger and more vfficient faculty than in previous years. The Bible Department has been greatly strengthened b - the addition of Prof. Austin P. Finlcy in the Thomas W. Phillips Bible Chair. Prof. William Hill as Dean of Agriculture has placed this new department on a sure foundation. The added department of Domestic Science has been very successful under Miss Armstrong. Assistants have been appointed in other departments, and the teaching thus made more thorough. The main college building has been renovated throughout. The walls have been well decorated with colors that make the rooms light and cheerful. New hardwood floors have been laid in every classroom and on the corridor. Steam heaters have taken the place of the old coal stoves. The chapel hall has been improved in the same wa •. The installation of the new pipe organ and the hanging of several large oil jiaintings have added much to the beauty of the chapel. Our campus has been graded and harmonized. The cement walks, thread- ing the grounds in graceful curves, with the most beautiful entrance gates of any American college give to Bethany a campus of which she is indeed proud. During the coming spring and summer scores of shrubs and plants are to decorate the grounds. In place of a few old houses at the foot of the campus, one now beholds one of the finest durniitories in t he land. The Percy B. Cochran Hall as a dormi- t jry for young men, is built on the latest improved plan. It is fireproof through- out. The second and third floors are arranged in suites of three rooms each ; one large study room with two small bed rooms. Each two suites have private baths. This building has added much to the comfort of the young men during the year. Being built of white brick with green tile roofing it is a building of fine appear- ance and has added immensely to the looks of the college property. The ruins of the upper end of the main college building have been replaced by the sixty thousand dollar Oglebay Agricultural and Science Hall. This build- ing is of the Tudor Gothic architecture in harmonv with the main college build- ing. It is built uf red brick with lierea sandstone trimmings. It is to contain four excellently ec|u ipi)ed laboratories ; Chemical, Physical. Biological and Agri- cultural. No ex]: ense is being saved to make these the best equipped possible, and to give Bethany a science equipment ec|ual to the best in this part of the country. It is estimated that when complete this building will be worth at least seventv-five thousand dollars. There will be five class rooms together with pri- Page Seventy-Two vate laboratories for the professors, balance rooms, dark rooms, and the Presi- dent ' s offices in the Oglebay Hall. All the buildings on the campus are now heated by steam from the cen- tral heating plant, donated by M. M. Cochran. This new plant has been a great blessing to Bethany. It has done away with the old coal stoves and their incon- venience, and has made things in general much more modern and comfortable. The Campbell farm, donated to the college by Mr. Oglebay, is being greatly improved. . new barn has been erected. New fences have been put up, and the whole farm is thoroughly drained. A new light and water plant has been installed for the college and town. A fine reservoir has been built on the hill above the college. Spring water has been piped directly from the spring to all parts of the campus. A new well equipped steam laundry where students may have their washing done at the lowest price possible has been put up in the town, and is managed by the college. Many other minor improvements have been made. During the coming summer the main street is to be paved and the whole town sewered. Thus the Bethany of 1912 is an Improved Bethany , a New Bethany, a Bethany Beautiful. But she will continue to improve. Her noble sons have not commenced a work to leave it unfinished. Each improvement shows us some other that ought to be made. We believe that the Bethanv of the future will be even greater than the Bethany of today. The student body appreciates what has been done for them and for Beth- any. They honor the true philanthropists who have made the Bethany of 1912 possible. And above all we honor him who as president of this institution has brought these things to pass, whose honest and untiring efiforts are being crowned with success. «% Page Seventy-Ttree Notes from the Diary of a Prep t t t Sept. 19th. — Gee this is a big school. I ' m glad they let me come here. Its nice to be around where so many freshmen are and here they can ' t tell who are freshies and who are preps only by the clothes the freshies wear. They always go dressed in such loud colors. Some day I ' ll be a freshman. Gee it must be great to be a freshman and in the real college. Sept. 24th. — .All the students went on biz to church last night. It must be nice to go on biz with a college girl. When I get out of the prep department I am going to hunt up a bizite. But I have some consolation, there are so many preps here. There must be as many in our department as there are in the reg- ular college. Anyhow I wish I was out of the preps. Oct. 4th. — One of them seniors passed me on the corridor this morning. He was coming from the book store with his new hooks. They were big ones. One of them would make all four of mine. They must k ' now a lot to study in them kind of books. Nov. 17th. — Those seniors gave their orations last night. They wore long gowns and caps. All dressed in black. It looked like a funeral. That Mr. Smith sure gave a great speech on Oliver Cromwell. I wish I could talk like him. He didn ' t seemed to get scared at all. When I get to be a senior I am going to make a speech on The World ' s Great Problem. Dec. 19th. — Oh e.xams are here! If I had just studied! But that language lesson was so hard and Miss Dickson made it harder than she oughter. Arithme- tic is harder here in college than it was back home in grammar school. I ' m afraid that I will flunk. Jan. 1(1. — We are all freezing. It is fine to have nothing to do. If I had some fine clothes like that feller Wray has so I could go around dressed up all the time it would be better. It was fun to see the President digging in that ditch all night last night. He didn ' t look like a president then. Feb. 2Gth. — Well the frats have banquets and the seniors and juniors have banquets and even the sophs and fresh have banquets here in Bethany, but we poor preps have to eat crackers and belonie in our rooms. The senior girls entertain the senior boys last night. They must have had a fine time. I wonder why they never have any use for the preps. March 23rd. — O the freshies and sophs had a scrap last night! You just aught to have seen the way big Smith knocked those poor freshies around. The freshies tied the sophs president up and that is why they fought. But the fresh- ies whipped the sophs. They couldn ' t have done it but for a lot of our preps help- ing them out. I didn ' t, I was afraid to. I don ' t want to get Big Smith and Milli- ken and fellers like that after me. But I am glad that the freshies whipped. June 13. — Well commencement is over. All the folks are going home. I ' m going to stay in summer school so I can hurry up and be a freshman. I won- der how it feels to graduate. All the seniors looked so nice today Everybody talked about them and wanted to be with them, liut nobody loves a prep. We just have to hang around and look on and keep quiet. But by the time I am here as long as Slifer and Ice I ' ll be a senior too. I heard Ice say that he had been here since Noah built the ark. But there is one feller that been here longer than that. Moody Edwards has been here since a year before Noah built the ark. He is only a junior too. But he don ' t study, he preaches too much. Well good bye seniors! Don ' t know what we will do without you next year. But I ' ll be nearly a freshman then and I ' ll try to fill your place as much as I can. Page Seventy-Four o ' E. C. SMITH E. C. Smith has again won first honors at home and for a second time he will represent Bethany in the Tri-State contest. We confidently expect Beth- any to win first place in the contest this year. The final comes ofif at home. With his Own people to inspire him Mr. Smith will win. He is a spirited speaker of the most modern type, direct, natural, and forceful. In fact his oratory is the type that uses no tricks except mastery of the subject, and a direct, conversa- tional presentation of the same. The preliminary contest this year was very close. All the contestants dis- played the best spirit and all wanted to see the best man win. Harry L. Ice was a close second to Mr. Smith, and Geo. J. Owen came in third. More men should have entered the contest. Where we had only four men in it we should have had at least eight. There is no field of collegiate activities that gives greater reward than the training and experience which is received by those wlio take an active interest in oratory and debate. This is the one activity in school which trains men for work in after life, while preparing them for the immediate work of rep- resenting the college. This fact is being recognized more and more each 3 ' ear, and accordingly, oratory is coming to its own. The Wilfley contest ofifers a good inducement for Bethany ' s orators to make greater efforts along this line. Paye Seventy-Five FIRST DEBATING TEAM E. C. Smith George J. Owen Harry L. Ice (Negative Team Against Westminster) SECOND DEBATING TEAM W. A. Cope Page SeTenty-Six F. A. Poffenberger W. S. Wilkin Oratory and Debate at Bethany The debating association this year inckides two strong teams. The teams are composed entirely of seniors. The first team, which is to meet Westminister on April 26th. is composed of E. C. Smith, Geo. J. Owen and Harry L. Ice. This team is to debate the negative side of the question of the recall of judges. We are not prophets but we predict that Westminister will have a hard time defeating this team. All of these men are experienced speakers and would compare favorably with most university teams. The second team, composed of A. Cope, F. . Foffenberger. and W. S. Wilkin, will meet one of the many colleges that want to debate with us. This team is composed of good men and they will give some college a race for victory. Bethany has but within the last three years entered the field of inter- collegiate debates. But she is not slow to recognize a good thing, so she has entered the field with a determination to make the best of it. We believe that only that art can endure which is founded upon the principles of Sincerity. Honesty. Simplicit} ' , and Thoroness. Preparation is the one most essential thing. Our thoughts must stand on their own merit. We can only give them artistic ex- pression. Whether Bethany wins or looses, we shall have the satisfaction of having done our best. Armed with the proper moral backing, we shall go into our debates to win — and win we shall. That department of education which deals with expression is today re- ceiving more and more emphasis. Xot only those working in the field of ex- pression, but all liberal educators are awakening to the real value of teaching and training the young men and women the art of expressing themselves well. Busi- ness men tell us that much of the education in our colleges today is theoretical and impressional, and that the student is unable to apply it when he goes out into real life. Surely such knowledge is not power. In our broader views of the edu- cation of today we are beginning to understand that in the experimental labora- tory- of expression we are discovering new truths within the individual student, that we are investigating these new truths and bringing to light latent powers, of which the student was never aware. Yes. in this same laboratory of expression, not only are we dscovering. but we are vitalizing truth already known and dis- covered, materials furnished from other sources are here made into more poten- tial working principles. Here logical thinking, unimpared judgment, and critical sense of appreciation are made more ser Mcable to the student. In times past the Lecture and Recital platform the Bench and the Bar, and Pulpit claimed the finished product of oraton.-, but today the shop, the office, and the parlor offer un- told blessings for those who have learned to give pleasing and clear expressions to their thoughts. The passing era gave rise to noble conceptions, furnished great ideas, and propagated sublime schem.es : we m.ust send out young men and women better fitted to realize these conceptions, ideas and schemes in sublime achievement. First there must be thought, but first, last and all the time must be the application of these ideas to life. These very ideas must be vitalized and incarnated until the individuality and personality of college men and women, through this very expressional process, will be first and highest in the world, making them the leaders in that actual life of thought and action, until their initiative and aggressive personalities will be able to meet and work out the .great world problems. It is the aim and purpose of Bethany ' s oratory to bring about this very result ; to create men and women who have power in themselves to bring things to pass. Pa SeTentT-Seven page Seventy-Eigfit EVERYMAN On the evening of March T), 1012, the students of the Enghsh department presented to the largest audience that has been seen in the Ijcthany College Chapel for years, the old .Mnralit)- play Everyman. Fifteen students, taken from the Sophomore, Junior, and Senior English classes acted the several parts and in a highly credible manner revived this old time drama. The play was not given ])rimarily to entertain, hut in order that those who are interested in the modern drama might see its forerunner as it was produced in the 16th century. Everyman was ])robabl - written in the latter part of the 16th century and was ]5roduced in some such manner as the students pre- sented it. The several actors came out of the audience to the stage and there was little or no attempt at scenerv. The theology of the time is well shown in the dialogue and the personification of abstractions such as Strength, Beauty, Good Deeds, etc., is in perfect keeping with the manner of instruction of that time. The cast is printed below and without an exception the acting was well done and the lines deli -ercd with effect. Too much credit can not be given to Mrs. Bourne, the head of the Department, for her aid and supervision. The costumes and effects were all designed b ' her and the success that was attained was only brought about I) ' hours of patient labor on her part. Much talent is discovered in a play of this sort and the ones who have had this one in charge hope it may serve as a precedent and that the English department may each year present some instructive form of the English drama.

Bethany Bethany 5 Bethany 5 Bethany 3 Bethany o Bethanv Page One Hnndred and Ten a en CQ H O O Page One Hundred and Eleven Bethany ' s Gridiron t Jr Bethany College for the past two years has been rapidly advancing in her educational system. An Agricultural department was added last fall, the scinetific department is making gigantic strides toward the university type, the lecture room is slowly replacing recitation room, her faculty has been strength- ened by the acquisition of men who have a national reputation in the depart- ment which they represent. With all these improvements the prospect for higher and better education at Bethany was never more promising. But while these changes were taking place within her historic walls, Beth- any was winning a place of prominence on the athletic field. In the spring of 1010 she defeated at baseball Carnegie Tech, Waynesburg College, Pittsburg Collegian, St. Vincent College and other teams of lesser note. The following fall Bethany won a stubbornly contested football battle from J. and played a no score game with I ' niversity of A ' a.. these two games in themselves are positive proof of the increasing prowess of Bethany ' s gridiron heroes. The fall of Bill ushererl in a new era in Bethany athletics. Hitherto the eligibility rules were not sufficiently strict for the College to enjoy the pleasures of clean athletics. But at the opening of the school the faculty passed rules which required every individual participating in intercollegiate contests to be a bona fide student and to have at least a passing grade in all his studies. An athletic Board of Control, comj osed of three ]irofessors and two students, was also or- ganized. This elevation of the standard of athletics has had several good efifects not only has it raised the standard of scholarship of those plaving on the various teams but it has placed Bethany in the good grace of those institutions which liave similar elegibilit ' rules. Tt als(T promises to be the means of securing ad- mittance to a certain intercollegial conference. This would have a very desir- able effect for in the past mana,gers have had some difificult ' to complete their schedule. ' ith this relationship sufficient games could be secured without trouble. In view of the industrial and educational progress of this institution, the new buildings and the new dei artments we would expect to see a great number of students in her classic halls. This means more athletic material, and more ma- terial with the increase athletic facilities promises to place Bethany ' s athletic reputation on a plane never e(|uale(l before. V. S. SHUTTLEWORTH.

However, there was an abundance of raw material and the work of moulding a football machine was begun. After a week of hard practice the team began to look better. They jour- neyed to Mt. Union with confident expectations of victory. The Bethany team went up aganst better coached and better trained athletes and the natural result was a crushing defeat. The services of coach Miller were dispensed with as he was entirely in- capable of handling the team. This left us without a coach the week preceding the W. J. game. Under the disadvantage of not having a coach and going into almost certain defeat, the team played a game of which the College may justly be proud. . ' gainst overwhelming odds in weight and training and on a slippery field the team fought for every inch of ground. Men have to have real stuff in them to pla) ' an up-hill game and keep fighting the wav they did. Any one who saw the game will say that W. J. worked hard for every touch down they made. Waynesburg College came to Bethany expecting an easy victory. They were doomed to bitter disappointment for the Bethany gridiron warriors, smart- ing from two successive defeats, were not to be stopped easily, and in the third perioid, one of the backs carried the ball around right end for a touchdown. Following this game we were verv fortunate in securing Prex Merrill of West Virginia University for coach. Under his direction the team improved rapidly, and by the latter part of the season it was working like a machine. The following week Bethany defeated Staats Athletic Club five to nothing in a hard contested game. The next game was with fliram College at East Liverpool. Although Hiram defeated us we have the satisfaction of knowing that the}- did not win from our regular team as several of our best players were out of the game on account of injuries. Although Marietta defeated us by a large score we showed signs of im- provement and on the following Saturday we played a no-score game with Geneva. The last game of the season was against the Staats Club of Wheeling. Bethany completely outplayed them and scored a touchdown which the referee would not allow, claiming a foul. This team is a splendid example of what steadfast determination and bull dog tenacity will accomplish. Surmounting successive defeats they stuck to it until at last they were able to triumph over their adversaries. W.

An analysis of the eighteenth century shows an inevitable tendency toward the re-discovery of new aspects and passions in life and literature. The period [ireceding this has been one of thoughtful study of the inner life. It refused to regard the deeper beauty of the universe but to see only cold facts and abstract p ' -oblems. Everything was explained by the consciousness of the inner self. Im- pressions and ideas made up the sum total of human knowledge. Then the Lock- ian philosophy produced a skepticism that found its chief advocate in Hume. He raised the problem that the inner life gave nothing but impressions and ideas and was but mere sophistry and illusion. He is truly imsympathetic and mercilessly critical, but it is the reflection of a thoughtful man. Hume strove for a trancend- ent knowledge for humanity ; and with this thought we may look to Kant. Immanuel Kant was born in 1724: in the city of Konigsberg, within the province of East Prussia, and he never left that province. His familv was poor and his father of Scotch descent. His father toiled as a saddlemaker, and in religious faith was a pietist. The Kant family lived in a cheerful, harmonious manner, and in a sense, dispassionate. At school, Kant was a remarkably pre- cocious child. At the outset of his literary career, he was an investigator, a man of literary skill and broad-minded. His school and university days were wonderful times for him. It was there that he learned the unusual devotion to a solution of a speculative problem. His external life was ever one of undeviating routine — his lectures, his daily walk, his dinner with friends and his hours of re- flection upon his great problem. Let us now turn to the thought and problem of Kant. The problem that Kant had before him was that of epistemology. This is the theory of knowledge and Kant set to work to investigate the knowing pro- cesses. He put the simple question What can we know? At this period, when Kant agreed with Wolff in respect to his dualism, i. e., the great gulf be- tween mind and matter. Kant ]5roferred the longer question What can we know about the external world? Kant pointed out two methods for philosophical criticism, namely the dogmatic and transcendental. The former, he said, was the method of the past, simply classical interpretation, and had proved itself fallacious. The latter was the method to which Kant endeavored to conform. To him that was the true method. As the name implies, it was a criticism, dealing with our experiences. It was a study of the nature of reason. Tudgments of any sort must have a uni- versality beyond human experience. The transcendental is indispensable to knowledge. Let us now notice one of Kant ' s greatest contributions. As we have mentioned Wolfif ' s twofold world of mind and matter, it is easy to link Kant with this question of philosophical dualism. Kant never whollv gave us this dualistic view, but he broadened the question into a three-fold world as follows : First, subjective states; second, phenomena — the realm of knowledge: and third, things in themselves. The first world belongs to the individual and no one else. It is the realm of intuition, and the individual ' s own ideas and impressions. It is the world in which the Ego lives. It is a realm that gives individuality and personality. No one shares it with us. The world of things in themselves is not the realm of human knowledge. It is not a world of material bodies and nature objects. It is the unknown and unknowable. Kant says we do not know what it is, but we know that it is. Nothing but a divine intelligence knows the world of things in themselves. The phenomena, or realm of knowledge, is the realm of physical nature Page One Handred and Twenty-Five or the realm of experience. It is the common knowledge of humanity. It is the totality of nature. However, it constitutes for us only relative reality This world is a relationship of experiences, and this Kant terms phenomena. The synthesis idea of Kant is important to note. He maintained that the mind was ever engaged in collecting and relating ideas. Sensation plus the unifying power equates knowledge. Synthesis is not the product of knowing, but the process. It is the creative phase that all minds have. When the mind acts it synthesizes. Kant proceeds further and says judgments are indispensible to knowledge. He divides them into analytic and synthetic. An analytic judgment simply expresses in the predicate something of usual meaning. It states nothing new, and is never an instrument for advanced thought. A synthetic judgment is one that implies new meanings and enriched kowledge of the subject in hand. It is sometimes called an amplitive judgment. However, Kant savs all synthetic judgments are not processes of true knowledge. He makes still another division into a postiori and a priori. The former are those founded on experience and form generalized facts, and are only probably true in that there may be excep- tions beyond our observation. By the latter, Kant means the unversal and nec- essary, and these, and these only, constitute absolute knowledge. When we say two right angles are equivalent to a straight angle, we state something universal and necessary. Kant now leads us into another field equally interesting. This phase of his philosophy is his conception of time and space relative to knowledge. To hurry on, we may say, that in actual couscous experience, sensations never come to us in their own distinctiveness. They never enter the mind unless they bear the mark of time and space. We cannot think or feel without realizing we are gaining consciousness through time and space. Xo process can work independ- ently of them. Kant wishes to know, and so raises the C|uestion, as to wherein the validity of knowledge or understanding exists. Understanding is the true facultv of knowledge, so he therefore points out that in universals only does true knowl- edge exist. It is then only by synthetic a priori judgments that this validity is proved. Philosophers since Aristotle have tried to reason in general terms called categories. So does Kant try to find something general or absolute. He is searching for synthetic categories in opposition to the analytic categories of Aristotle. He postulated these as being universal to every human mind. We will not name his four general categories, for we cannot discuss them in such a brief paper. It is sufficient to say that Kant regarded them as qualities in which the validities of knowledge found refuge. In a very general way that touches the prominent phases of Kant ' s episte- mology. His philosophy does not end here, however. He enters other avenues of thought, and even in those you may see his ever epistemological problems crop- ping out. He constructs a rational psychology in the idea of a soul : an idea of the universe with his cold, vague antinomys ; an idea of God ; and a system of ethics manifested in his Practical Peason, in which he puts forth his postulate of freedom, his postulate of the immorality of the soul, and his postulate of the ex- istence of God. Immanuel Kant was one of the greatest investigators of philosophical systems the world ever saw. He is a figure that stands out in modern times as the pinnacle of the power of thought. He is obscure, vet inspiring. Amidst all his subtlety and skepticism, the true student of philosophy finds a solace. Page One Hundred and Twenty-Six i College Recipes  ♦♦♦ How to Make an Ordinary Prep. Procure a large green product of the genus homo, preferrably fresh from the country. Dip it briskily in creek water, repeat this treatment until all traces of starch have wholly disappeared. Prepare the following ingredients — three full terms of Latin roots, three terms of well-flunked Algebra, add a pinch of Biology, Botany, and Physiography, if spices are desired. Pour slowly over this mixture, to prevent curdling, three measures of O. T. H. Grind for three years. Stuff into the hollowed cranium of the specimen and roast thoroughly in the academic fire, tasting at frequent intervals. If care is taken in following directions, the result will be a prep suitable for ordinary purposes. How To Make A Freshman. Mince the following ingredients ; two and one half dozen prep credits, one letter of introduction, and a half gallon of friendly advice. Have on hand a nev ' trunk, a leather suit-case, two suits of store clothes, one pair of squeaky- shoes, holding all in place with an apron string. Place the ingredients in a well filled office and allow to stand for three hours, or until no trace of argent re- mains. Soak well in salt tears. Expose to the sarcasm of the upper classmen. Serve with green sauce. Sophomore a la consume . From one Greek philosopher extract the brains. Care should be taken not to injure the flagrant conceit which gives the peculiar flavor to this delicacy. Obtain a covering of green checked serge and in this envelope the preparation. Garnish with one small sized head-piece, one pipe, well-smoked ; one red tie, and two green socks. Serve hot in tans — size ten. Senior a la Bethany. Have ready a pruning knife and a board made from three shanks of fac- ulty timber. Obtain a well developed product of the tree of learning and make an incision into the brain. Examine closely the quality of the grey matter and if there remains any undeveloped cells, massage with a mixture of condensed Science, Philosophy, or Mathematics. Place upon the head in such a way as to cover all traces of the incision, a flat black four-cornered cap and surround the body with a flowing gown of the same color. In order to get rid of any super- fluous knowledge, place the product upon a platform and allow it to cut the air briskily with sharp words, accompanied by a rotary motion of the arms. Two treatments are generally sufficient to remove all traces of knowledge. If the prod- uct undergoes all these treatments successfully it is now ready to be surrounded by an atmosphere of dignity and followed by the awe-stricken gaze of the under- graduates. Be hold the finished product ! It must be permitted to walk unmo- lested where it wills. It must have full right of way. It ' s decision must be taken as final. If questions or hard problems arise, crying for solutions ; let the Senior raise his eloquent voice, stretch forth his mighty arm, and declare the TRUTH.

Page One Handred and Twenty-Eight Precepts of Dorcilla Prologue. 1. My daughter, wouldst thou be popular with men? Then listen to my counsel, for of men have I known upwards of one hundred and five and ten, and they were much alike. 2. For man is an insufficient creature, and to lead him on, is easy. Chapter I. 1. Hear then, that to have a pretty face is all-sufficient for the wisest and best of them follow the lure of a pretty eye. 2. Howsoever, if thou art blessed with brains, hide thy light under a bushel, and act as thou knowest not — 3. For man liketh not to find his match in a woman. -i. Yea, though he tells thee jokes, thou hadst heard unto the third and fourth time, laugh yet again, and fail never to see the point. 0. Though he bore holes into thee with tales of his college pranks, com- mit not the error or relating anv of thy adventures. 6. Lead him to tell of his infant days, and keep thyself awake by watching how his lower jaw moveth. 7. For naught interests him but what concerneth himself, and so that he doeth all the relating, he will think, What a good conversationalist is she. x nd of thee he will say to his brother, Lo, she is a good talker, and all-fired sym- pathetic. 8. Mark a man how he regardeth his sister, even so will he regard his wife. 9. Judge not a man entirely upon the canclv and flowers he sends her. (Look at Barger). 10. Verily, I say unto three, put no faith in the aitections of the Kappa Alpha who liveth on the same street where thou resideth. It is too convenient. 11. But I do aver, if thou liveth in Wellsburg, and yet he Cometh often to see thee, and taketh thee to lectures and to formals, then let thy heart flutter for thee. Chapter II. 1. I warn thee, daughter, watch him how he asketh thee to go somewhere with thee. 2. Never will he commit himself at first, never does he say. Will you go with me? 3. Nay, verily, he sayeth, Got anything doin on the 10th? -i. And when thou hast committed thyself, and there is no backing out, then will he say, All right, there ' s a lecture on, I ' ll be around at seven. •5. Moreover, judge not a man by some of the foolish things he does. 6. For not every man who walketh in the sunshine weareth a yellow rain coat like Prof. Deutsch. 7. Even as a steady diet of syrup and honey, is the man whosoever pay- eth inane flattery. 8. Note a man when he raveth over thy chum — 9. If he saith heartily, That ' s right — Rest at ease. 10. But if he ansvi ' ereth naught, walk carefully : either he liketh her not, or they have at one time had a case. 11. Behold, if one cometh to thee with his photograph and saith, Look you — is this like me? Disturb not thyself over the answer, he but covets thy photograph in exchange. 13. Never-the-less, not-with-standing, but — when one beggest earnestly Page One Hunclrecl and Twenty-Nine and with a deal of fine speech for th ' - photograph, be not persuaded, he asketh suavely, because he is practiced and he but desireth to add thine to his collection. The Epilogue. 1. Therefore take heed, my daughter, and be not pufifed up when one speaketh to the on the corridor. 2. But if he smile at thee in the dining-room over the Review of Re- views — know that he really recognizeth thee. The Unexpected Took Place Once froi.

The Fox Typewriter has Caught the Preacher from Maine to California and from the Great Lakes to the Gulf. in every city and town, among every Denomination and every National ity, the Fox Typewriter Is known to the Minister as The Ministers ' Typewriter. Why? Because Tbe Fox has Caught the Preacher. Caught him by Its Free Trial. Captivated him by Its winning ways — Its light touch — Its easy action — its full visibility — its durability and Us dependability — by Its special Ministers ' price and by Its easy terms. All this Is made possible by the two hobbies of Mr. W. R. Fox — the Church and the Fox Typewriter — to each of which he has devoted a lifetime of service. This is the New Fox No. 24 Nothing equals our New Ministers Model. It is a typewriter that will meet the approval ol the most critical operator. A single demonstration will convince you ol this.
