And then when the right day came and the long desired treasure was yours, } ' ou looked back with feelings of mingled joy and sad- ness — joyous because you had attained the treasure, and sad because you could see wherein you had not made the most of it. If you have felt this way then we know that you can sympathize with the Senior Class. We h:,ve spent four long years together, united in gladness and in sorrow. Sometimes the wa_v seemed long and hard and very difficult to travel, and then at times the way would brighten. And so it is in this latter connection that we will think of our college days as the most happy time of our lives. Wc have endeavored to live up to the ideals of Old liethany and to be in every respect true and noble men and women. We know we have failed in many respects, but we hope that we have done much to make llethany a better college. And nov as we say Farewell, we hope there will be no sadness, for we will ever be true and loyal to our dearAlma Mater. And to you, undergraduates, we would say : Live up to Bethany ' s ideals and ever strive to make j our college the Best College. A Senior. ' 15. 28 Bmwv OIk00 Iftatnrg 1915 In the Fall of 1911 there came many youths and maidens from all parts of our great land, to become students in Bethany College. Although tliey were un- assuming and quiet in manner on campus and in class-room, yet the faculty was forced to look upon this class of 1 ' ' 15 and call her superior in wisdom. The days passed swiftly but quietly until one cold and snowy night we fought and won (jur first victory, and that from those proud Sophs. Then, when we became even wiser and won the respect of our President and Professors alike, we thought ourselves above that barbarous custom of light- ing and desired to establish something which would stand for higher education and the true worth of our class. So we entered into the memorable Freshman- Sophomore Deliate. ' e lost, but ask tlie class of ' 16 if we were not good loosers or if we did not treat them with the respect only ' 13 could show bv the banquet given tliem. . s Juniors we proved our wisdom by our orations. The ' ' Profs, espe- cially, deemed tliciu most worthy, a fact which was manifested by the industrious manner in which they took notes. . t last, we have won the much-envied rank of Seniors. Even though the class of ' 15 has undergone many changes in her membership since her Fresh- man year, yet she is still strong in numbers, and as loyal children her sons and (laughters go forth to help spread the fame of their Alma Mater. As we, the class of ' 13, stand on the threshold of a new life, our motto, Diiiii z ' ii ' iiiiiis I ' k ' a- iiiiis will ins]Mre us to ilo better and nobler things as the _ ' ears pass. 29 Eleanor Wood ) Taylor ; Iarc,arf.t Dickel Newton W.

Anti what? Anti-Suffrage? No! Anti-Dyspepsia I We made cream puff ' s. Oh ! wonders of delightful nightness and creaminess, especially when some of them turned out to be pancakes. We have struggled on and on amid censure and ridicule with few words of praise, until success crownedour brows. We fed the football team! Who would not be proud of such a feat? By feat is not meant those appendages which boys find rather useful in a football game. Ask them what they had to eat and what it tasted like, and they will all admit that it was better than Phillips Hall culinary productions. We have certainl} ' had much hard work and many discouragements ; work in Dietetic — fat people take notice — a one-thousand-word essay to write on the life of Ellen H. Richards, etc. Miss ] IcGee is helping the girls to solve the ques- tion : What Shall I Wear? She teaches us how to sew via the old route of rip- ping. She tells us to be careful about stretching our necks, and not to tell stories, although she doesn ' t say what kind of stories. We are occasionally reminded that people get sick even in Bethany; so they teach us Home Nursing, Invalid Cooking, Dietetics, etc. In other words, if there is anything you want to know that the inhabitants of Bethany cannot tell you, just come to us and we will help you out of your difficulty, cheer you up, and send you on your way rejoicing. But now the best is yet to tell. We have formeil a club called the Do- mestic Science Club. This is not the first domestic club. Can anybody guess what the first one was ? Nobody ? Why, the rolling-pin, of course. This club is different ; it is a club that really is a club. We have elected officers : President, Jeanne AIcLain; Vice President, Beulah Beisel ; Secretary and Treasurer, JNIicah Smith. There are fifteen active members who are all greatly interested in the idea of the club. We are having good, social times among ourselves now, but it is not to be all frivolous. We are all dreaming of the day when we will have a club-house where the Domestic Science girls can live. The cottage will be run on a scientific basis when the girls will put to practice all their knowledge of House- hold Sanitation, Bacteriology, Home Nursing, Dietetics, Practical Cooking and Sewing. In this way we hope to make the Domestic Science Department equal to, if not better, than the other departments in the college. So here ' s long life, prosperity and encouragement to the Domestic Scienc Club. 34 jur ioRb h J ih:.-- - W V L I ) ■ ' ' c =iu John C. Gatks. iSehold ihe psj ' siognomy of cjiir beloved class President, Joliii Calhoun Gates, Johnnie has red hair, not brilliant, but just red. We learn that this is caused by tlie warm Kentucky sun. John is a very bizzy man. What ? Don ' t believe us ? Well, watch the corridor. John says he likes Princton, Ky., very well, seein ' s he ' s born there, but he is now thinking seriously of going to Kantner, Pa. As a stude, Johnnie is in a class by himself. Flunk is a word not in his vocabu- lary. In truth, John is a great boy. His sunny smile, his kind and amiable disposition have won for him the admiration of all who know him. I Iarv G. Rovci-:. Here is a dainty, petite maiden, whose cheer- fvl smile gladdens all her friends and brings joy wherever she goes. She has a Patton on bi , and her trademark is her rippling laugh, — no one may dare infringe upon her rights. With her artistic fingers and her original mind, quaint pos- ters are designed. No one can foretell what the future may disclose, but might it not be possible, looking forward, to see Mary, with her artistic talent, moving innnense audiences as she so ably puts the finishing touches to some of Maynard ' s sermons? j Iayn. rd Patton. Maynard is sometimes known as Monsieur Patton gecause of his fluent use of French. He often has a dreamy, far-away look in his eyes, which betrays the existence of some fair maiden, Caroline by name, in Jeffersonville. Although they say that Absence makes the heart grow fonder, whose absence was it that made May- nard walk from Leatherwood to Waddington on a hot August day? Another thing that is very mysterious is this, why does Maynard ' s lily-white hand flutter frantically from the car window as he passes below Phillips Hall on his weekly cir- cuit rides? Maynard stayed for Summer School last year and while there learned the meaning of the word dcspcrosity. 36 C. W. PULTZ. Carl, a native of Dakota, came to us imme- diately from Washington, D. C, where his efforts had revolutionized the Treasury of the glorious United States. Can he work? Yes, that is all he has done since he made us acquainted with himself, a number of years ago. He is a special- ist in that department. Xo particular kind of labor, but just any kind and lots of it is what lie likes. Yet all love Charlie because he still has time to be sociable, to give advice and help in every way possible. We predict that one day Carl will work himself to the front as a mission- ary in the field he has chosen. L ' iKlvL G. ' ri:. i .. RI)I{. . Lyrel, as licr picture indicates, is very quiet and modest. She always seems glad and willing to give up somctlnng to someone else, but whei it comes to getting the grades, and carrying oh the honors in Junior orations, she is not quite so obliging. We used to try to get ahead of her in Enc-lish, and we may do it yet, if she has many more rnexcused absences. Lyrel is not convers- ant as to her plans in the future, but from her ab ' lity as an orator, we think that possibly she will make a suffragette. Arthur Luon Rudeb. ck. He is a lad. who ' s not so tall, Iiut there is nothiu ' r very small aboi ' t , the way he ' ll biz and biz with L. G. T., until it is ' most four o ' clock: and then, gee whiz! right off the corridor they trip, and down the hill they gaily skip, so that Prof. Taylor may not nip their loving talk. Out at the farm he spends much time — ' tis there he milks the A. R. kine. But talents of another kind he doth possess, .- t the .- g. banquet doth he preside, with bh-shing I yrel at his side. Oh, he ' s some . g., to hear him talk, is Artliur Leon Rudebock. 57 Rosa Duxlap. A demure little maiden is Rosa. Rough-neck Rosie is lier nickname, but it is evidently sug- gested by the law of contrast. Rosa is one of the best students we have. In fact, she even missed the Junior Party last term, for fear that she wouldn ' t make 100% in Chemistry exam. As for biz, it is rumored that she did go on biz the first week she was here with a certain youth from Claysville, Pa., Rosie ' s town. Since then, how- ever, she has set her mind steadfastly on more important matters. We are expecting great things of Rosa, for we are sure that in this case, at least, the best goods are done up in small packages. Albert Hensley. Speaking of the really noted ones in the Jun- ior Class, this member takes the prize. He is not only one of the best students in our number, but he has made a name for himself as an orator. Why, give him but ten minutes, and he will have his audience in the palm of his hand, so to speak, spellbound by his power of expression. We all give Hensley our best wishes, and hope that we will have him with us again ne.xt year. Martha E. Cox. From Wellsburg, W. Va. Surprised? Well, I rather guess. You ' d hardly expect anyone so good-looking to come from that place, but she says she does, and we have to take her word for it. Besides being good-looking, she ' s some orator too. She has the spunk to give a hair-raising talk (?) on Canada, and then smile when the criticisms are made. Martha is a good student, as is easily seen by looking at her report sheet. She has been a staunch supporter of the Junior class and it is with just pride that we are able to name her as one of our number. 38 E. WAI.TER LapE. Mr. Lape comes to us from Pick-wick, Ohio. It is evident from his picture that he has a sunny disposition, reflected, perhaps, from his hair. His geratest hobby is electricity — his ne.xt geratest, the abolition of orations. His scientific turn of mind is shown by the Howling Success as lab- oratory assistant in Freshman Chemistry. Last, but not lea st, is his musical ability. He can play on almost every musical instrument on the mar- ket, and with his voice is able to charm by con- cord of sweet sounds. v Carolyn F. Gordon. You wouldn ' t have to talk long to Carrie to know what part of the country she comes from. .Although she is a true Southerner, she is evi- dently cosmopolitan in her views, for she has de- veloped of late a remarkable fancy for Colorado. In Greek and Latin she is a bright and shining light. So fond is she of the former, that she even dares to brave Prof. Gay alone in the un- popular fourth Greek class. Carrie tried orful hard to leave us this year, but she has finally de- cided that the Junior class is the best for her, and we think so too. Edward C. XealE. Here is the Boy. Just watch him shine — in every way but one. Somehow, the Corridor Biz Association is never illuminated by his particular brand of radiance. His chief delight is the Daily Newspaper, and his recreation is a trip to the post-office. If you want to know what is likely to happen in Europe ne.xt week, ask Ed. He has been keeping an eye on the Kaiser. 39 John Colvig. Sower, lie ' s from Wheeling, although his l-.i;irt is ill Si.iunuii, Virginia, and his mind is wandering, llesides lieing a collector of novelties and a lexer nf the pipe, Jack plays the cornet and ukalelah in grand style. Though you may doubt it, Colvig is an Aggie and a scientific one too. He is 1916 ' s Country Gentleman. For sev- eral years he has kept the Bethany girls guessing. Most of them think he is bashful, but that they SMnietimcs doubt this is shown by the fact that one fair co-ed told Iiim that she didn ' t know wliclher lie was darn fast or darn slow. Iarg. ret Monroe. Margaret is a star. She shines on all occa- sions — class-room, chapel, and lastly, on the cor- ridor. But she is different from the usual run of stars, in that she never has an off day. She never stops just on account of clouds. Margaret is of a very sunny disposition, and is always ready to do anything to help. She has been allowing a certain young boy from New Philadelphia, Ohio, to monopolize a lot of her time, but we don ' t dare tell his name. We might get in wrong, with her, you know, and we can ' t afford to do that. John R. Sloan. This is our one married Junion tliourji froni the looks of things now, he ' ll iKiti Vloni 7and Nancy is the first 1916 baby. We see him most frequently behind the counter in the bookstore, and his — I ' m afraid I ' m all out of fountain pen ink, — I ' m scrry is his most frequent salutation. Ministerial? Yes, indeed; he preaches at Clays- ville. Pa. It may not be safe for amateurs to predict the future, but we may at least hope tliat he will rival John R. Mott, or others greater, so that in later years we will be able to say : Yes, J. R. Sloan was a classmate of mine, at Bethany. 40 Clvue D. Helmick. This has come to us from his home at Xew Ihiladelphia, Ohio, a fact of which he is very proud. Ask Iiim yourself, if you don ' t believe us. Tub is a jovial, good-natured boy, such as that nickname is usually applied to. Some of us also term him Senator. Don ' t you think he looks ike part? We are all proud of our Tuli. We won ' t mention any names ; iiy all, we mean every member of the Junior class. Seedy (C. D.) is another of our splendid workers. He las been with us ever since the class was organ- ir;ed in 1912, and has ever done his best to for- ward the work of the organization. He is a good student, and says he is especially fond of Math. Undoubtedlv there is a ijrcat future in store for Tub. Edith 1!. ki;k. Edilh l:dks of Tul)by dear, until we thin ' ; .she ' s getting queer. .- statement rash it is to make, but we are not afraid of Bake: frr she don ' t have to weigh a ton to appreciate a bit of fun. The maxim. Laugh and you ' ll grow fat, is not quite always true at that : for Bake can laugh with anyone, and that, we say, is going sonic. They tell is she ' s an awfil tease, when- ever she tries iiot to please. Birt what is queer- est ' bout our Bake is that she seems to fear a snake : but we hope that by this time next year she will have overcome that fear. Ki.iz. i ' ,i-.Tii .MciKr.. :;. In Janrary of our first year, Lib made her appearance among i:s. We had heard a great deal about our lillle girl, to illustrate many a line poiiu in the scrmrns delivered from the church pulpit, so that it was quite a surprise when w: beheld this tall, lank specimen of girlhood, with its snub nose, and hair that just missed being r d. It has plways bevn a wonder to rs ihat Lib never went on biz. bit this year we have no- ticed quite a change, for we frequently sec Frank and Miss Morgan on the corridor. . taste for the ministerial seems to run in the family, and Kentucky is a fair land in which to spend one ' s days. 41 John j I. Lewis. This is tlie best known Joliu in tlic institu- tion. He hails from our National Capitol. His talents are somewhat divided between Agricul- ture, Bizieulture and managerships. He has had several misfortunes this year; namely, a broken heart, a broken ankle, and a chewed-up Pup. The basketball teams says, He is the best man- ager ever. His unbounded ambition and energy are sure to make him an honored alumnus of our school. Esther Royce. Esther is one of the dangerous girls of our class. If you don ' t know what this means, just ask the author of this little obituary, and he will ex plain, with pleasure. Esther is nice enough, but it is just as safe not to provoke her to anger, for she is not what some folks are wont to call slow to anger, and she is mighty in wrath. We all like Esther, because she is jolly and com- panionable, while, at the same time, we have a wholesome respect for her feelings. H.w ' Es Thompson. Tommy is another Ag. boy. To the members of the class in general, he may not be very well known, but he has managed to make himself solid with those who do know him, especially the Ag. fellows. He is one of the bright and shining lights in Sociology, and under the name of Hayes Fi Fi he is well known to many who do not know his real name. 42 I Stanley F. Bittxer. Bitty is one of our most prominent stu- dents. He is an Ag. by nature, but a bizite by trade: in fact, the chief thing about Bitty is not Bitty at all, but Sarah. It is rumored that one morning, out at the barn, he hung the pail on the wall, and milked into the lantern, but whether this was due to absent-mindedness — his mind is frequently absent — to sleepiness, or to thought of Sarah, it would be hard to say. When in Eng- I ' sh. we hear a voice from the front row. I beg your pardon, Mrs. Bourne, but — . we all settle down in our cliairs in relief, for wc know that Stanley has started one of his interminable argu- ments. We only hope that when Bitty goes back among the Pennsylvania Dutch, to apply the scientific principles of farming learned here at Bethany, he will take a certain member of the Volunteer Mission Band, to convert the heathen in the Kcvstonc State.

They were indeed a determined body of students and were destined to succeed from the moment the} ' crossed the threshold of old Bethany College. When mere Freshies the}- conquered the Sophomores in a battle of wits by winning a debate from them. Then, in the year nineteen hundred and fourteen as Sophomores they were challenged by the innocent Freshmen to a baseball game. Needless to say that the Freshmen knew little of their former victories or the} ' would never have had tlie courage to challenge such a class, but, of course, the glorious class of nineteen sixteen won the day and the double blue and white once more floated in the sky. The Junior Class realizes that all this is but practice for the real battle that is to come. They have determined to make the Senior Class of next year the very best and most noteworthy class that has ever walked the old corridor or entered the class-rooms, and the class graduating from these halls in nineteen hundred and sixteen shall be the most successful class ever gone out to face the world. Xor is this all idle boasting, for only look at our literary and scholastic standing and you will be convinced that it will be an easy matter to far surpass all other classes of Bethany College. 44 dimttnr (UlasB m ' amir i■fl lll lI in jF ) (ClaHamatPH, rninr stntj uf uur iJrar Alma fflatrr. ing nf tbr urars utr ' itr s rnt hrrr tngrtbrr. ing uf thr rlass that ' s Ihr brat in tbr rnllrgr.

This is, of course, to be anticipated from the bright, inteUigent and intellectual Freshmen we were. But we have learned man}- things since then. We have learned modesty instead of bragging, valor instead of bravado: we have learned t(5 take defeat bravel} ' , and to accept glory with meekness. We can stand on an equal footing with upperclassmen and look with kindly toleration on Freshmen. The Fates have strewn our path with flowers. We are successful in the classroom and in the literary societies and on the athletic field. (If we let thcj Freshmen have a football victory to encourage them, it is because we are mag- nanimous. ) ' hen at last the Freshmen, inspired with a sassy spirit, acquired we know not where, j ut up what they called their flag, our class brothers, Don and Dennv, by brains and brawn, took down their flaunting banner anil made away with it. The Freshmen, unable to realize that they were thoroughly beaten, tied up some of our members to trees, thereb ' incurring much trouble. Class rush ensued; events happencil rapitlly ; but finally the Freshmen were compelld to ac- knowledge themselves squelched, and the banner of ' 17 has floated gloriously ever since.

My, what a change has been wrought in this class in one year! No longer can you distinguish the green spots on them. They stand, now, as other college men and women, wise and composed. But what a frightened, what a homesick group they were as they slowly made their way up the main walk. Folks at home had told them of the terrible hazing that was carried on at Bethany, and they expected to be accosted any moment by a ferocious Sophomore. But the Sophs were very kind and did not do anything whatever. The new people were not molested in any way. They walked the corrilor, went to class and on biz and were not troubled. And then the great day came. Prex arose in chapel to read the an- nouncements. Among them was the following: The Freshman Class will hold its first meeting this afternoon at 3 :30 in the Chapel. My ! how the Sophs did talk and the Freshmen think. The afternoon arrived. Mr. Lumpkin and Mr. A ictor took charge of the meeting. In the election the following officers were elected: Mr. Anderson Owens, President; Miss Lucile Bergen, ' ice President , Miss Elizabeth Johnson, Secretary ; Mr. Frank Lappin, Treasurer. During the meeting a few poor Sophomores attempted to break up the assembly, but were sent spinning on their ear back to the corridor. This ended the lousiness of this meeting. In the social life the Freshmen have not been behind. They attended the opening social almost in a body. At the Y. W. C. A. and Y. M. C. A. social Hallowe ' en night they very excellently reproduced a chamber of horrors, Miss Loretta Dunbar being the central figure and making the scene more gruesome by her terrible talc. Not only socially but in athletics as well the Freshmen are not behind. The Sophomores were so badly walloped by the Freshmen that the game has not been mentioned since. This is the only class game yet, but it is almost a positive fact that in track and baseball we can make the Sophomores eat dust. The class looks forward to its second year with a great deal of pleasure. Practically every student passed his work and we are assured of a fine year in 1915-1916. 54 BP 1 1 % k - ' jJ BBI fcii 3ii B ij ip m. I bt ' l l Kv HMlMk fl i Bl wB Wy.

It is a beautiful building complete in every regard for modern church work. It will cost about $40,000. The funds were raised by I ' -rother J. J. Morgan among the friends of Old r.ethanv. The seat- ing cajiicity is about one thousand. The church contains baptistrv, robing rooms, pastor ' s study, ladies parlor, choir room, and in all about twenty class rooms. This church is the outcome of the urgent need of some better facilities for reli- gious culture of the increased student body of the college. It is a fitting memorial to the fathers of the restoration movement. Brother Morgan had great faith to undertake this great task, and has won for himself the esteem and confidence of the student body in the work he has done. 59 Prof. R. W. Wynne. A.M., AIis.s A. C.

We had just finished our feed. The moon was just peeping above the horizon. Everyone seemed in the mood to sing or ih-eam as someone started, Oh, where will all the Seniors be when a hundred years have rolled. My thoughts began to float ofi into the future and I had a peculiar longing to be alone. I strolled out some distance away from my classmates, and, sitting on the bank of the creek, gazed into the clear stream wdiich glistened as the moon shot its rays through the trees on the opposite bank. The sound of voices, now blended as one, could be dim!) ' heard as the refrain of On the Banks of the Old Bufl: ' alo came to me. As I looked into the glassy surface of the water I seemed to see a proces- sion of most interesting people pass. The first picture that seemed to blend peculiarly into my half conscious mind was this : — A motherly-looking woman with grey hair sat by a window crooning a soft song softly to herself as she was crocheting a bit of lace. Her deft fingers stopped suddenly and one hand turned palm downward revealed a Bethany seal ring. She looked at it for some time without moving, thinking so intently she did not notice a man enter. He was of medium height with snow white temples. Not until he spoke her name did I recognize Helen Abbis and the voice of Edgar Saum, which was saying: Helen, the hot breezes of Africa are not making you wish for America, West Virginia and Bethany, are they? The scene seemed to change and a smooth pike hedged on either side came before my eyes. An automobile i)assed along the way and I saw the face of a man of middle age looking intently ahead; beside him lay a doctor ' s case. Along the side of the road some mischievous High School boys laughed and saifl : Oh, that ' s Doc Lewis going up to Central to demonstrate the effects of nicotine upon a cat. The scene changed as 1 though of the martyred cat, and on a village street of Alaska I saw a familiar face just coming out of a school-room. It was Aloliy Gerke. As she Irudged along with several text books in her arm, she came to a house and called out to a Air. lUichanan. As this gentleman came out, dressed in fur from head to foot, I hardly recognized him as ] Ir. Buchanan of Bethany days, so great had been the change wrought by years of service as lawyer for the I ' nited States Government. Then again the gentle murmur of the water over the riffle seemed to change the scene, and I saw a sweet-faced little woman standing under the shade of a ivide veranda, shading her eyes with her hand. A large lawn with trees made the ])lace a restful-looking one on this hot summer afternoon. Evidently she was looking for someone and sure enough two sturdy-looking children with books in arms half fell through the gate and ran u]) the walk. A smile flitted across the face of the woman and it was then I recognized an old friend who used to be just plain Arab. When I saw this old friend my next thought was of her friend, Abigail Lesnett, and I saw her standing before the High School building in Charleston, W. Va., talking to another young woman. I looked closer and recognized Miss 68 Clifford. As I iieard them say: Yes, Alice is in Peabody Institute, I resolved to listen more close!}-. The ' continued: Romaine was given the department of Latin in the Salem High School — and isn ' t it fine that Josephine is studying in Germany? Another young lady joined them and I recognized Mary Bell. From their conversation I found Mary was the music teacher for the Charleston Public Schools and that Miss Clifford was no longer bearing the name of college days, but was now the wife of a wealthy farmer just outside the city. Just then an airship passed over and in it I recognized Mr. Longdon. He had just perfected his latest aerial experiment. While gazing into the skies a wireless message came to me announcing that Russell X. X ' ictor had just been elected President of the United States b - the greatest majority .America has ever known. I always knew he would gain recognition as a politicirn. They say he works without the stimulus of graft. As I contmued to muse I came to a well-known eastern city where I was picked up by Red Brown in his private car. Red is President of cue of the great eastern railroads. It hardly seems possible that he coul 1 have risen to such a high position in such a short time. But he always was a phenomenal character. In the course of our conversation he told me of having seen .Mice Feeney the day before as she was embarking for France to continue her sturlies in Paris. Her musical compositions are known and played the world over. She toll Red about Carina Clark, who is also in I ' aris. She is especially liked by t ' le ( ' iffercnt masters under whom she has studied and they jirerlict a great career for her. The car stopped suddenly and I noticed we were before o:ic of the famous women ' s colleges of the East. Lpon invitation of the IVesidcnt. Man le Scliultz, who is quite a light in educational circles, we visited the rooms of the various professors of this great institution. To my surprise I f(nmd tliat Marguerite Brittain was Professor of Domestic Science au ' l that Barbara Hurt, her Twin Sister in liethany, was now the wife of a prominent lawyer whose name was not mentioned. Miss Schultz informed us that Dale Ross had recently been elected President of the Federation of Women ' s Clubs and was to give an address at the institution that evening. With wanderlust now in my veins I traveled over the country until I came to a city of the middle west. It being Sunday. I inquired for the Christian Church and was delighted to find my oldfriend. Lawrence Doak, as minister. After hear- ing a very eloquent sermon 1 was not surprised at the large crowds that were be- ing attracted to the church. Will wonders never cease? Coming out of the main entrance I came upon another friend, who was just getting into his car. Who do you think it was? Xo less a person than Dr. Lumpkin, who is now the leading surgeon of the middle west. .- s we passed along on our way to dinner we passed the Chicago University grounds, and I was glad to learn that W. B. Sharratt was Professor of Biblical Theology in that institution, and that Ruth Bloom had just returned from a tour of Europe, where she prepared herself to accept the new Chair of Frussengland, made necessarv bv the defeat of the Germans in the war of 1014-1020. As a clod of earth fell into the ri]ipling water I was transported back to- ward Bethany. Then I see Miss Milhoan and I am told that her name has been made famous with that of her husband, who has solved the problems of the coun- try church. The sound of merry voices is heard and, coming to myself, I realize that the years of my imaginations are still before us and I fall in line with the jolly group of Seniors, who are soon to part and go out into the wide world of reality.

Warner Carolyn Gordon .- nderson Owens 95 Agrtrultitr? m h Iburattntt From the ver} ' beginning of both agriculture and education, it has been the ahnost universal opinion of men that there is no connection between the two; that the farmer has no need for an education and that agriculture has no place in the education of the race. Within the past fifty or sixty years the most prominent educators of the world have come to recognize the fact that no man ' s education is complete with- out some knowledge of tlie fundamental principles of that science to which we are indebted for everything we eat or wear and without which our present civil- ization could not exist. The government of the United States was one of the first to recognize the importance of establishing a system by which its food supply might be strength- ened and insured. That means a system of practical study of agriculture and its relation to the other sciences. Our present mode of agricultural education was not established in a day. Although the government has long recognized the importance of such education and has offered nominal support to any attempt to establish schools for it, it has been only within the past few years that any actual steps have been taken to for- ward the cause. For several years after the government gave its actual support, agricul- tural education failed to make any very extensive progress. It was like any other new idea. People had been trained so long to believe that there was and could be no relation between the two that it had become a part of their nature, one of the traditions of humanity. This was the chief difficulty with which the men who first undertook the work of making agriculture fit into the curricula of modern colleges, had to contend. People still believed in the old saying: Anyone can farm; but they had not heard the new version: Anyone can farm, but it takes a mighty good man to farm successfully. Now that we have spoken of the difficulties met with in establishing agri- cultural education, let us consider the ways in which it is of advantage to the farmer. By means of experiments carried out at the agricultural colleges, the uses to which various soils may be put have been determined. Many people think that any soil will raise any thing ; quite the reverse ; no soil will raise everything and many soils will not raise anything if they are not properly cared for. So the study of the adaptation of the different crops to the diiiferent soils was begun. Then came soil innoculation, rotation of crops, and other important studies. Then, too, by experiments at agricultural colleges, the best methods of feeding and of mixing the various grains in order to obtain the best results have been studied. Then the various types of farm animals are studied and the inevi- table result of this study, if applied to practice, is the improvement of the quality of farm animals, to obtain the best animal at the lowest cost. Without education, the farmer is as far behind the times as is the business man who is similarly handicapped. He must have education in order to keep up with the progress of civilization, and unless he has, he is out of the race and can- not hope to compete with his neighbors or carry on successful dealings with the consumer. ■ Men used to farm from the shoulders down, but now they farm from the shoulders up. Anyone can farm ; but only those educated for the business can farm successfully. A. L.

COACH ROBERTS. In the spring of 1914 it was decided that Bethany should have a Director of Athletics, who would have personal charge of all teams. The announcement was received with pleasure, as all Bethany followers realized that this was exactly what was needed to place Bethany where she belongs in the athletic world. From a long list of applicants, ] Ir. C. J. Roberts, of Lawrence College, was selected. Mr. Roberts first came in touch with Bethany students in the summer school of 1914. Because of his remarkable personality and generous nature, he made good immediate!} ' . It was plain to be seen that Bethany athletic teams would have competent coaching the next year, and the good tidings were heralded whenever Bethany students met. What he has done we all know. His football team was one of tlie best in this section. The individual star has been eliminated and the work was done by the whole squad acting as a machine. The football team was practical!} ' a new one composed almost entirely of first-year men. The task of coaching these men was a very laborious one, and the amount of work required is known only to tlie coach himself. Though more experienced men composed the basketball team, the same obstacles were still to be overcome. In baseball the position as coach is no less difficult, but a good team is practically assured. On the whole we may say that the present is the most satisfying year in athletics Bethany has enjoyed for some time. No one doubts where the credit belongs. One man — a man who has always been large enough to fill all the places which were assigned to him, a man who is a willing and untiring worker, deserves all the credit. That man is Chester J. Roberts. 136 iFnotball ?a50it of 1914 With hut few f M men with which to hcgin the season ' s work, it appeared that Coach Roljcrts would have considerable of a job on his hands in getting the team in shape in time for the first game of the season, which was with Marietta on October 10th. However, considering the fact that Hethany had had but one week ' s training, while Marietta had had five, and that nur men were outweighed by their opponents twenty pounds to a man. the score of 28-0 against us was not far different from what was to Ije expected. r!y the next game, which was jjlayed against West irginia University at Morgantown, Rethany showed quitely [dainly what she coul i do when her men had gotten into form. It was quite a surj rise to W. . U. to be able to carry through but two touch( ' owns. During the entire last half the ball was in Ueth- an) ' ' s possession in W. W I ' . ' s territory nearly all the time, and the bewildering formations and excellent forward passes which I ' lethany emjiloyed established a new record for the Green and ' hite. ' I ' he third game of the season was at Hethany with the Central Athletic Club of Wheeling, ' i ' his ])rove 1 an easy victor}- fur our boys, all the members of the squad getting an ci])|)ortunity to jday in tlie game. The final score was 20-6 in favor of llethany, all twenty of IJethany ' s points having been made in the first five minutes of the game, after which our boys ])laye:l on the defensive. On ( )ctober ,ilst. onr team, though beaten bv Carnegie Tech by a score of .32-19. made a fine showing in line work and open plays. This was a defeat of which we have no reason to be ashamed, and will long be remembered to the credit of llethany. The following Saturday Bethany atoned for her defeat by following up the gt od work she had been doing with a decisive victorv over Grove City by a score of 34-7. The high-water mark of Pjcthany ' s success and enthusiasm was reached in the a_ nesburg game, played on the home field. The running back of punts, king forward passes, and open play were the features of the contest exhibited by our boys with such spectacular success as is seldom seen on llethany field. The result was a victory by a score of 61-6. The final game was at Beaver I- ' alls. where our boys were defeated by Gene a College by a score of 13-0. Throughout the entire season that feature of the game which has stoo 1 out as the most prominent is the remarkable efliectiveness of the open play formation. Coach Robrts is an ardent advocate of this kind of play, and it is to him the suc- cess of the team must be ascribed. If the work shall be carried on in the future along the lines in which it has been so well begun, success must inevitably fall to the lot of the Green and W hite. 137 McMulleii, A ' an Sise, Unibenhower Left End Thompson, Heyburn Left Tackle Michels, Meter Left Guard Hnglics, I k ' lniick Center Meyers, Harmon Right Guard Rawdon, Schwalb, Chestnut Right Tackle Tylock, P.

Across this a road runs, turning into a grove of trees anrl coming out again near a small white cottage, green-shuttered and neal, with a tiny, hedged-in lawn, and a rambling arbor at one side. In this arbor one chilly April evening, Juliet sat alone, staring vacantly down the white rcjad, and nervously fingering something small and shining. Austin had begun to seem more than an ordinary boy to Julici towards the end of their Senior year at High School. Then for one whole happy year she had had him all to herself as many evenings as her careful mother would allow. And then he went to college. On the last night she let him kiss her for the first time. And he seemed so strong and manly and yet so young — so loth to leave her, yet so eager to get away — that it made her feel older and wiser, and she let him go without half the strug- gle she had expected. For she believed implicitly that she had no reason to fear any other girl. Letters home were very frequent, and so, at first, were visits. He was full of enthusiasm and admiration for his wonderful school, and he tried by pictures and voluminous letters to give her an idea of the atmosphere of the place — its customs and its life. She appreciatetl his efforts, however tmsuccessful, and grew fonder of him. There ' s no girl here I ' d vant to go with, he wrote, and she knew it was true. Then he began to talk about his frat. It was a new idea to Juliet. It seemed to be an institution made up all of college men ; that was easy enough, and so far so good. But it bail asked him for himself, and he had pledged his life to it. This phase of the situation he had unconsciously emphasized, for he was thoughtful an l poetic, and the romance and beauty of it appealed to him. And little Juliet, lonely in far-off Berkeley, being unable to understand, was strangely hurt. He was full of it at Christmas time. He talked continually of the frat and the fellows and the lively evenings at the House. He taught her its name, which Juliet had scarcely noticed until he tried to impress her with its importance. In the warmth of his enthusiasm he failed to notice faint signs of sadness that Juliet bravely tried to conceal. He was to be initiated early the next term, and Juliet felt that she would lose him — the best and sweetest parts of him — forever to his fraternity. A ' isits home were less frequent after Christmas, though he still wrote faith- fully. He was too busy to spare time to travel, for the frat was making him w ' ork. One rain}- day he had to lay a walk across the muddy road in front of the House ; Once he had to help clean the cellar ; and he always had to keep part of the House clean. It was always either work for a woman or work for a hunky — never any- thing worthy of a man, Juliet reflected indignantly. It seemed to be a sort of toll demanded for all its pledges, and Austin appeared to enjoy it, but it made Juliet angry. Then he was initiated and seemed happier than she had ever before known him to be. After that letters came regularly for two months, and in the 146 last one he said : There was a frat jeweler at the House last night — Mcintosh ' s man — and I got something for you. It ought to get there in a few days. So on this day it came — a dainty silver filigree la valliere, with a square amethyst set, bearing the fraternity letters across it in silver. Juliet looked long at those symbols. They stood for the only thing that had ever come between her aufl Austin ; they stood for her heartache and nights of waking; they stood for the fraternity she was jealous of. As she thought, her brown eyes flashctl with a sudden fire of anger. She hated that frat — yes, Itatcd it — and she would never, never wear its name on a jewel of hers. She ran into the house antl crammed it into its little box, which she addressed to Austin with never a word of explana- tion. Say, said . ustin to his roommate, when the box reached him. I ook at this! What do _ -ou s ' pose is wrong? Hard to tell, replied Tom, but it ' pears like she doesn ' t want it. I don ' t understand, mused Austin. It ' s goodlookin ' enough, surely. Durn it! said Tom, what does she want? A diamond? ' ' I wisli she ' d say what the kick is. I can ' t make it out. Well, before I ' d try to! interrupted Tom. Gosh! I wouldn ' t monkey with a girl, ' i ' hey ' re more bother than they ' re worth. If a girl doesn ' t like what she gets from me, I get another girl. Every girl I go with is better than the last one, anyway. ' ])ears like. I wdii ' t worry over ' em. . nd throwing his cigarette stub out of the window, Tom went to rummage in . ustin ' s trunk for his baseball shoes. Left alone, . ustin wrdle to Juliet.

I don ' t know myself. 1 just don ' t want it and 1 never want to see it again. ] hope you ' ll forgive me. but that ' s just how T feel. Austin w;is angry. If Juliet had no better reason than that for insulting him. he thought he could get along without her. Spring vacation began that week, but Austin stayed at school. ()h. Vm gnin ' td bum ;it the House. he explained carelessly to his friends, r.ill Wentworth ' s goin ' to be here. too. and we ' ll go fishin ' every day. Uesides. I li. ' ive some drawing to finish u]i that I never would get done at home. The wei ' k was as lonely for Juliet as it was for him. Life soon became unbearable to her. It was better for Austin when school began again, and all the fellows came back. Kven at tliat it was hard on him. He used to go to his chif- fonier drawer and lonk at the la alliere, and wonder. At night he would look out at the stars and think of Juliet ' s big, faithful eyes and tender li|)s : and he won- dered. Gosh! said Tiini, une night, c iming in from a feed in Hill ' s room. Vou better cut worr_ ' in ' . kid. Vou can ' t iniderstand ' em. Half the time I don ' t think they understand themselves. That ' s what Juliet said, thought Austin. Towards the end of . ]M-il the strain became too great for him and he wrote. It was rather a funny letter, but his sense of humor was in no condition to ajipreciate it; neither, for that matter, was Juliet ' s. He began as if nothing had ever hajipened. told the events of the past week casually, and ended, with an evident effort not to commit himself, Always ) ' ours, Austin. Juliet ' s answer came within a week. 147 That morning in the chemistry laboratory, Polly Addoun, a fraternity giri who worked near him, asl ed ; is your girl coming for commencement, Austin? if she is, let us keep her. Our House can accommodate multitudes, and we ' d all love to have her. Thanks, I ' olly, said Austin. Mother said Juliet reluctantly a few days later, do 1 want to go tn . us- tin ' s college for Commencement week? If you ' ll be taken care of properly. I don ' t mean can 1? protested Juliet. I mean do I want to? ' ou certainl}- do! responded mother promptly. You ' d have the time of your life. The afternoon mail brought a note from Polly, hospitable, informal, anil cordial. JNIother was satisfied, and Juliet, still a little douljtful, wrote }-es to both letters. jMonda} ' morning of Commencement Week a tall young man stepped up to Juliet as she got off the train at the junction. Austin ' s having an exam, this morning, he explained, antl Pm meeting you in his place. He ' s a frat brother of mine. Huh ! thought Juliet. Are these your suitcases? That ' s our car across the tracks there. It ' s a wonder w ' e don ' t have to wait an hour. Better sit on this side of the car; the other ' ll be sunny wdien we get around the curve. Pi spite of herself, Juliet found herself liking the man. He seemed to feel that he had a right to take care of licr, and he assumed the responsibilitv as if he were used to it. Just because the} ' were members of the same fraternity. It gave Juliet something to think about as they crept around abrupt curves that seemed to hang out over the shallow creek and low fields, and through dark tunnels, refreshing!} ' cool. There ' s school! said the boy at last. See the tower? That ' s the base- ball diamond just this way. We ' ll have some great games there tomorrow — and h.ere, he added after a few minutes, is where we get oft . Three girls ran u]) the bank wdien the car stojjpe 1. One of these said shs was Polly. They welcomed her warnd}- and tuok her on the p(irch where the boy left her suitcases and tleparted. Polly led the way upstairs into a little lolue and white room. You ' re going to sta} ' here with nie. she announced, and if you ' re tire:1, you ' d better rest before dinner, because Austin ' s going to take you out some- where this afternoon, and you ' re both going to our banquet tonight. I think you will be aide to rest all right because the I louse is nearly empty: ' most everyone ' s up decorating the hall. In five minutes she was asleep. Two hours later she was awakened by the barking of a dog and the confusion of voices: there was a little knock, and her :!oor was thrown open and a collie pup bounded in, followed by a crowd of laugh- ing girls, who told her it was time to get up. Polly introduced them. There was Ella and Bill - and Jimmv and Dora and Pete and Sara and Alar}- — and then two or three more came in : until Juliet ' s head swam. Then they took her to dinner, and Austin met her at the corner afterwards. 148 ' hen she got back to the House, it seemed to be swarming witli girls in kimonas and colored satin slippers. Half a dozen old girls had arrived and to these she was introduced with due explanations. The tower of Babel wasn ' t in it with that House, Julia wrote home. Ever3 ' body seemed to be running around trying to find someone else to do their hair, cr pin thei r flowers on. Pete was going to wear white roses, and Alar}- was going to wear pink roses, and Billy was going to wear red roses. The color seems to have some significance, but I don ' t know just wdiat it is. I ' m going to ask Austin. Poll}- helped me dress, or I never would have fieen ready. It ' s fun to be in a house so full of girls and noise, but I don ' t see how they ever get anything (lone. Polly says it isn ' t so bad as this except at banquet tinies. Juliet met a good many of Austin ' s frat brothers that night. It was not long before she learned to look for the glittering badge of his order, and to dis- tinguish it from others. A banquet was a new experience to Juliet. She loved the low-toned con- versation and the candlelight and the songs with their suggestions of the sadness of parting. . nd she loved the walk honie in the moonlight afterwards, with .Xii tin close at her side. The next morning she got a note fron-i hini saying that he had a duty un- expeclec ' l}- thrust upon hiiii ; and with it came another note requesting her com- pan}- at the tieid-da}- exercises, and signed ' illiaiii Wentworth. Who ' s he? demanded Juliet indignant!} ' . ' I ' hc idea! A perfectly strange nian ! W h(i ' I ' lill? ( )h. }-iin met him last night. W ' h}-. he ' s just asking you be- cause he ' s a brother of Austin ' s. It ' s a matter of courtes}- with them. They are always nice to each other ' s girls. Oh! .sai 1 Juliet, and she went to Fielil Day with l ' ill. The next day she and half a dozen other girls from the House went to the frat house for dinner. The l)oys were Ijeautiful to her. They showe ' l her through the house and explained the chapter |)ictures. and made things as interesting as possible. Juliet revelled in the little attei-itions the}- paid her, and found herself reU ' ntiug towards the frat. I ' m ha -ing the time n ni}- life. . n tin. she confi del on the wa}- back to the House. That night luliet crept to the l)ack imreh to think. Kveryone else in the village was a-leep: there were no lights except in a house far away on a hillside across the village, and as Juliet watched, those too went out. . uslin is changed, Juliet reflected. He takes life more seriously than he (hi. lie works harder than he used to. liecause the fellows insist en good grades, lie is more considerate of me and his nioral standards are higher than thev were.

W I ' .Lh, have }ou deeideil yet? Airs. J larris luoked u]) inqiiiringl} ' as Walter Alart ' n came up the steps and took advantage of a convenient porch chair. Walter shook his head. Xot fully. Aunt Alary, he replied, but — well, I think I ' ll just keep on at the store. I ' ve got a good position, and I ' d better hold on to it. There are so many ' college failures, ' you know. I begin to believe I ' d rather be a self-made man without perhaps wasting four or iive years at the very start. ' ell, of course, you must do just what you think best. But Aunt Alary ' s face showed disappointment, and Marjorie, in the hammock, although she said nothing, evidently did not agree. By the way, I ' m going to take a little trip ne.xt week, said Walter. Air. Pierce wants me to go down to Tennessee for the firm. I ' ve never been in that part of the country before, so it will be quite an opportunity. Don ' t let any of those old mountain cannibals eat you up, laughed Alar- jorie. I ' ve read some thrilling stories about the mountains of Tennessee. Don ' t worry about the cannibals. I won ' t have time for adventures, anj ' - how — too much business. Aly! but you sound important, Ijantered the girl, and W ' alter looked sheepish. He always did look sheepish when Alarjorie teased him. Alarjorie ' s mother and Walter ' s had been girlhood chums, and when Wal- ter ' s parents had died, five years ago, Walter had gone to Aunt Alary ' s to board. Walter and Alarjorie were both ready for high school that } ' ear. It had been a c|uestion then whether Walter should take the high school course or go at once to work. Mr. and Airs. Harris had urged him to go to school and had obtained for liim a position at which he could work afternoons and Sat- urdays. So for four years he had kept his position, working faithfully and study- ing in the evening. He and Alarjorie had both graduated from the high school in June. And now it was August, and the great question of college must be decided. With Alarjorie there was no such question. All her life she had looked forward to Bethany. And now, in less than two months, she would be going. Yes, I ' d ratlier go to Bethany than any other school in the world, she would assert energetically, and when asked her reasons she would at once launch off into a vivid description of the Commencement week she had speiit there a few years before. In vain she had talked Bethany to Walter — had urged, coaxed, entreated; for in the wisdom of her woman ' s heart she saw the neefl of a college education for a young man who was to succeed. But ' alter would not heed, although he had to confess that Alarjorie ' s arguments had their weight — so much weight that he had not yet entirely given up the idea of college. The night before Walter started to Tennessee Alarjorie read him a letter she had received from one of the Y. W. C. A. girls, welcoming her to old Bethany. Do you wonder that I am anxious to go? she asked. That just seems ISO to be the spirit of Bethany. Everyone who has ever been there is fascinated with it and wants to go back, and have everybody else go there, too. Get thee behind me, Bethany, chanted ' alter. Don t you know that you are making me as unsettled as — as — That ' s just what I want to do, until I settle you the other wa} ' . An 1 Marjcrie went to the piano and played several airs from a collection of college songs. Si.x c ' a}s later ' altcr Martxn stood on a mountain si !e in Tennessee, over- looking miles and miles of wild, picturesque mountain scenery. He had finished with his business in the city, and had half a day before his train left for the north. He was a good walker, end the rugged heights appealed to him. But he had for- gotten to calculate cMstances. and. led onward and upwanl by the enticing land- scape, he had covered, many miles before he realized it. I suppose I must be going back if I want to catch that train, he said to himself. He was stanc ' ing at the top of a high, steep bank. Twenty-five or thirty feet below, among sharp, slippery rocks, gnrgled a tempting little spring. As soon r.s Walter saw it he knew that he was desperately thirsty. Wonder if I can get c!own to it without breaking my neck, he mused. Grasping a branch, he took a ste]5 ( ' ownward. Suddenly the ground slipped beneath his feet, and tlie liranch to which he was hoMing gave way. He clutched wildly at the branches and rocks, but in vain. Down, e ' own he crashed. ( own to the slippery rocks l)clow. where he la} ' , he never knew for how long. Wdien he came tn himself he coul 1 think of nething but rocks and pain, it seemed to liim. for hours. He was almost afraid to move. Finally he raised hi?iiself, slowly, cautiously, wincing with pain. His arm hurt the worst; he thanked his luck_ ' tars as he stood uixm his feet that he coul 1 walk. Guess my neck isn ' t broken. he murmured, remembering his last remark rl the trip of the bank. This nuist be the adventure Marjcrie was foretelling. I believe 1 ])refer cannibals. lie mat ' e an examination of himself. He was bruised from head to foot. 1 lis clotlies were torn. One cheek was bleeding, and his right arm hung limply at ' ■is si- ' e. He glanced gratefull} ' at the branches that had liroken his fall. The -pring was near at hand. now. and he buried his face in the cool water, drinking great, refreshing draughts. Then, selecting a less abrupt path, he climbed with great care and nnich pain, to the road. . t the top of the ]5recipice he looketl about him. He coul 1 see that the roa ! over which lie had come was traveled to some extent. There nuist be a settlement ahea l. he toll himself. The e|ucstion is, I Idw far - I ' d like to get this arm fixed up as soon as possible. lie thiinght of the one or two ( ' ismal shacks — he could not call them houses — he had ]ia-sed em his way. They were solitary, uninviting hovels, and at the door ])laved dirt} ' . half-nake l children, wh.o had run like frightened rabbits at the apjiroach of a stranger. Xot nuich chance eif hel]) from them. he moaned. . s he stood there meditating he caught sight of something between tl ' e thick trees and underbrush, some c ' istance above him. He toiled painfully up the roa ' , and. as he eh ' ew nearer, he stopped short in amazement. He could hardly 151 believe his eyes. Here was a very pretty, respectaljle farniliouse, witli a ncal little fenee about a well-kept lawn, a charming flower garden all in bloom, and, farther on, a fresh, green vegetable garden. Walter wondered if he was d.reaming. lie ' had never before seen anything like this in the nii)nntains of Tennessee, i le went on with renewed energy. Just then a trim little W(jman, gnwned in spotless white, with a rosy- cheeked chilli at either hand, trijjped merrily ilown to the gate and gazed uj) the road. Daddy tomin ' yet? questioneil one of the little tots. I don ' t see him yet, dear, was the answer, but he ' ll be coming soon. Look, mama, look! cried the other child, catching sight of Walter. Poor nice man ! Miy, my poor lad ! exclainieil the womsn. opening wide the gate. Come right in ' ou have hatl an accident. es, T have had a fall, and I guess ni ' arm is broken. She led the way into a cozy parlor and made him sit down in an easy chair. We ' ll see about the arm the first thing. Jack, dear, run to the cupboard and bring mother the basket of eld linen from the lowest shelf; and Xannie, you may bring the liniment. She examined the arm with an air of experience. No, it isn ' t broken, she assured liini. Only dislocated. One or two deft movements, and the arm fell back into place. IMy, that ' s iine, gasped Walter. You must he used to it. Alountains are convenient places for joints, laughed the little doctor. Now we ' ll fix up these cuts and bruises and find some patches for the clothes. Here comes Daddy! shouted little Jack from the window. Daddy! echoed Nannie, as a tall, strong man entered the door. John, this is — W alter JMartMi, supplied the visitcir. And this is my husband, John Allen. Air. ] Iartyn had a fall, anl we ' re mending him up, explained the busy little woman. You must have had quite a tumble, said Mr. Allen, taking a number of pine cones from his pocket and handing them to the delighted children. Walter told his story. I ' m due in Pittsburgh Friday morning, but I ' m afraid I can ' t get the train now, and ' alter gazed ruefully at his tattered clothes. Oh, you must surely spend the night with us, said his host, cordiall} ' . Yes, do stay, urged Mrs. Allen. Tay, all night, echoed Jack. All night, re-echoed Nannie. ' alter hesitated. I ' d like to stay: but I must catch that train if I iiiissil)l_ - can. as I prom- ised my employer that I ' d be back early tlay after tomorrow. Is there any chance now ? Oh, we can get you there in time, all right, if } ' ou must go. You ride, don ' t you? Walter replied in the affirmative. Then — Pittsburgh, did you say? cried ] Irs. Allen eagerly. Oh, do you live 152 there? It ' s not far from Bethan_v. Vou know about LSethany, then, do you? Know about it! It ' s our Ahiia Mater. My husband and 1 both grailu- ated from Bethany, and we think it ' s the dearest spot on earth: don ' t we, John? ' ' Yes, Bethany is a great place, agreed Mr. Allen. We were back there for Commencement in June. Ever been out there? No; but I have a friend who is going this fall. She was out a few years ago, and she is almost as enthusiastic about it as you. How about _ ' ou ? suggested Irs. Allen, (luotioningiy. Are you in col- lege ? I graduated from high school this year, but I ' ve just aliout decided not to go to college, Oh, you must surely change your mind, urged the little woman, sewing an artistic ])atch on Walter ' s coat. A man can ' t make the best of himself in this age without a college edu- cation, affirmed Mr. .Mien. Xo matter what } ' nu wr.nt to do in the world, you can c ' li it a huni ' red i)er cei:t better after fuur nr five years in college. I often think iif an illustration my nld high schmil i)rincipal gave when I was trying to decide the same (|ueslion. I le asked me how I would go to work to build up a ])ile (if iiricks. A ' oulil you ])ile them u]i straight in the air, ' he asked, ' putting the same nmnber nf bricks in each la er? iiu wouldn ' t gel ver ' high, I fear. W hat you need is a good, broad, solid foundation In ni the verv fir st : then vou can gradually pile the bricks as high as you ]ilease. ' 1 never forgot the illustration. Too ni;uiy young peojile are so an.xious to do something right awa ' that they over- look the need of preparation. After all, said Mrs. .Mien, the end of education i n ' t dollars and cents. T believe it ' s rather the amount of good you can do to other |)eople. That ' s why 1 alw.iys ])refer a Christian college like Bethanv to a larger institution. I believe you are right, said Walter, thoughtfully. N ' our view of edu- c ' ltion had never occurred to me. Since we began this settlement work we have realized more and more the true meaning of ed.ucation. ' ou see we lia e a settlement school, explained Mr. .Mien, up here among the mountain whites. I teach the main branches, an 1 my wife shows the older girl how to sew and cook, and the little tots how to read and write and spell. . nd it ' s the UKist fascinating work in the world. interrupted Mrs. .Mien, The people are all so willing and teachable and lovable when you get to know them. Just then (he two children appeared from the next room, lugging several leather-co -ered books, which the) ' carried with some difficulty to their guest. Befny pictures, ex])lained little Jack. The father laugliec ' . They alwaws have to show Tin-; Birrii.vxi.vxs to visitors. Tliey are loyal to Bethany from the de])ths of their hearts, and can hardly wait for the time to come when they ' ll be old enough to go to college. The two men looked at the Ijooks together, the chiblren interposing copious ex|ilnnatious of the pictures. We get a Bi;tii. xi. x ever - year, said Irs. .Mien. It is wonderful to know the impro ements that are going on from year to year. 153 ' l ' s. x- ari. ' (Iflighted witli the new nethany, said Fr. Allen. There is 11(1 exeuse now tdr negleeting a college education. When we were there sexx-u years ago there were onl_ ' a few opportunities for earning one ' s expenses; but now, with the college farm and the new buildings, there are ten times as many opportunities. Lack of finances is no longer an obstacle for any sane, able-bodied man. in the meantime the little hostess ha l slip])ed to the kitchen, soon returning with a delicious luncheon for Walter. Vou have a long trip ahead of you, she smiled, and this clear mountain air makes one hungry. That night in the Pullman Walter Martyn grinned into the darkness some- what sheepishly. Alarjorie liarris, he said under his breath, ) ' our adventure ' settlcrl ' me, although there were no cannibals in the cjuestion. Xcarly four years had passed. It was Commencement week in old Beth- any. The corridor resounded with footsteps of a multitude, marching back an:l forth as of yore. Walter Martyn, in cap and gown, walked up eagerly behinl a group of girls, also in caps and gowns. Marjorie Harris, in accordance with okl- tinie tradition, forsook her Senior sisters and fell back with her Senior brother. Mien they reached the old iron railing they stopped and looked toward the West. The sun had just dropped behind the wonderful West N ' irginia hills, leaving the sky flooded with crimson and violet and gold. For a while they gazed in silence. Then Marj( ' i ;e turned to W alter, and tears glistened in her eyes. Just tliink ! a few more days and it will all he over. Can you realize it? Xo, I can ' t, replied Walter. lUit we can ' t be sad, can we, when we think of the far greater and more wonderful things ahead. Afarjorie smiled through her tears. Aren ' t you glad you decided to come to rjethaii}- ? she asked half- roguishly. Glail! replied Walter eniphaticallv. It would have been the most fool- ish thing I ever did had I decided otherwise. ] Iarjorie s left hand rested on the iron railing, and the brilliant little jewel on one of its fingers glittered in the richly-colored liglit from the W est. Her eyes caught the gleam and her cheeks grew rosy. We ' ll come back for Commencement sometimes, won ' t we? she asked. Yes, indeed, as often as we can. And we must without fail come back for the lumilrcflth anniversary. .My! but we ' re laying plans far ahead, she laughed. That ' s a rfuarter of a cental ' } ' yet. I ' rom the other eml of the corridor came the sound of music. As the sing- ers drew near, W ' alter and Marjorie joined them. Oh, where will all the Seniors be When a hundred years have rolled — and so on to the end, the strong young tones floating iut over the campus, filling the sweet summer air with harmony. Slowly the gorgeous hues in the west faded, darkness descended on ol 1 Bethany, and far beyond Point Breeze, like a silent, golden beacon of hope and blessing, appeared the evening star. -, r n -ir ' ' = LvREL G. Tr. g. rdEx, 16. 154 A Btmt 3tam l tl|attg s fast The characters in this tale are not fictitious, but men of great prominence in tlie world of politics, theology and letters, who really were together in their four years of preparation in Old Bethany. One of the anecdotes related, although it is not known just who the characters were, tells exactly how that phrase peculiar to Bethany — On Biz — originated. The little story of tlie serenade, including the characters, is a true one. Many of the old places mentioned are still to be seen in or near the vicinity of Bethany. The roof of the summer-house, Lover ' s Retreat. dear to the hearts of scores of Bethany Alumni, may be seen to this day back of Professor Loos old home, although the foot-bridge has been swept away. I T WAS late June of the year 1874, and the hot summer sun beat down fiercely upon the beautiful hills of West ' irginia. Scarcely a leaf stirred and not even the old Btiffalo sang it s love song to the sedges along its brim — only the low, scarce-heard, rhythmic breathing of Nature broke an absolute calm. So it was no wonder that a thrush, stirred by a ringing laugh that echoed down the sequestered vale, uttered a discontented cheep of protest at having been so rudel}- awakened from his siesta. Again and again rolled that full, rleep-chestcd laughter and soon the little valley rang with a chorus of merriment. Down thri)Ugh the hea ' enwood bushes crashed two young men. The first, a fine s])ecimen of manhood, kei t glancing back, his merry black eyes dancing with mischief, as he tauntingly swung above his head a shining black tile hat. The second, a man whose large, hmnely features were surmounted Ijy a thatch of red hair, was in full ])ursuit, his face lUished with anger and disma_ The pursued, being almost incapacitated from laughter, was soon overtaken and a tussle ensued, in which the cnntested article of clothing rolled unobserved down the hill into the run below, from which it was re--cued a few moments later by one of the party who had followed the wrestlers, from the path. iliam 1 lenry. }du ve spoik-d my hat, panted its owner, as he ruefully wi)K ' d that article with his handkerchief. Well, protested the other, still chuckling, served }-ou right. You ' ve no business with a lile yet. McLean, here, is the only one in this bunch who is en- titled to one. It isn ' t Commencement vet by a good fortnight. Eli, you ' ll look grand in McLean ' s hat on the Fourth of July, when the Seniors march out — alumni, and confer their tiles upon next year ' s class. llis eyes sparkled roguishh ' . I al ' a s have admired the combination of red and black. ' hat about it, McLean ? Tliev all turneil to a lean, clean-cut man, w ith keen gray e_ ' es and dark hair, who spoke in short, jerky sentences with a nervous toss of his head and shrug of his shoulders, (live it to me — his c es twinkled as he reached for the disputed hat — the only vScnior and a liritisher in a l)unch of ' ankees — I ' ll arbitrate. ih a |nick tling of his arm, Kind a cool ])lace that will hold us all — sit down, ex-ervbodw Zollars — can have your hat — if you ' ll promise — wont ' wear it until Comnu 11 cement. In a few moments they were all reclining under a large oak, some eight or nine young men — all thoughtful, clean-looking youths, not one of whom lacked a certain air of distiuguishment. I ' .esides the three alread}- described were Wil- liams, a slight, (|uict fellow, evidently a deep, serious thinker, a man who spoke seldom, but with a deliberatcness to which all listened; Cochran, a jovial, black- c ' ed bov of medium height, and Spencer, a scholarly looking man, whose deep ISS set C}-cs pet-red from beneath heavy eybrows, with startling penetration. These were all Juniors, with the exception of IcLean and the one whom ZoUars ha.l addressed as William Ik-nry. ' . II. W ' oolery, a Sojihomcre, was a magnificently proportioned giant, in mind as well as in body. To that class belonget! Hageman. a frail lad, with light hair and eyes and a humorous, winsome smile; also Wharton, a slender, high- browed youth, whose face showed strong spirituality. The last man and the only Freshman was Hamar, who, seemingly impressed by being the only first class man, had not much to saw but whose eyes turnetl from one speaker to another in a calm, judicial way, as if he were weighing their words. Well, ' sighed Wookr} ' , as he mopped his brow, I hope wc get cooled off this afternoon. I dislike to take finals in such warm weather. This kin 1 of weather and Hebrew don ' t go together well. And he chuckled reminiscently as Zollars grumbled: If you weren ' t always into mischief you wouldn ' t be so hot. Wharton spoke, his musical voice full of amusement. Woolery, you certainly had yourself worked up to a white heat the other night at the debate. Wdiile }ou were raving up and down, I coul 1 fairly smell the scorching wood of the platform. He dodged as the huge form whirled upon him. lithe as a cat, but the big man only grasped him by the shoulders and teetered him backward, booming, Never mind, Wharty. I stole the debate right out of Hageman ' s teeth, anyway. Hageman laughed quietly: Oh! well, every man b.as different gifts. Per- haps mine isn ' t debating. Hage} ' . chuckled Zollars, I know wh.at yours is. He lunged to his feet and minced down the sward. How do you do, Miss Campbell. It is such a hot walk out the W ' ellsburg pike to your home: may I not carry your pawr-a-sawl . Hageman colored, but Spencer came to his rescue. Sit down, Eli ' on ! You are heating yourself und.uly. You know our ' Hagej ' ' has never been so hanl- some as since he ' s been taking those beaut} ' walks. Fie! An;l you, tco. a mm already caught in the toils. A shout of laughter greeted this sally, for Zollars. as the only Benedict in the group, was continually assuring his frien ' s there vras nothing like it. By the wav. men, continued Spencer, his dee]) eyes gleaming, di 1 you hear the joke on Cochran? Cochran scrambled to his feet expostulating, but ' oolery pulled him down. A couple of weeks ago he spent the evening at the village doctors ' home, instead of studying. The next day Professor Loos called upon him, and he all unprepared. Professor Loos bent his eyebrows and glared at the poor Cochran, AMiere were you last night, Mister Cochran: where were vou, sir? ' ' On bus-s-i-ncss, sir, ' chattered Cochran. Next ( ' ay he and the young lady were strolling over the foot-bridge back of Professor Loos ' s house. L p comes the professor. ' Ir. Cochran, I should like to see you, sir, but you may be excused, as I see you are on business again. ' After the laughter had subsided, in which Cochran had joined, confusedly, he said: Had vou heard that Professor Loos is thinking about tearing c ' own ' Lovers ' Retreat? ' He says it is becoming a down-right nuisance. Every time he passes the ' Retreat ' someone, or rath.er scn.ie two, are enio_ dng the scener} ' from his rustic benches. A chorus of disapproval was broken b_v Williams. Boys, he remarked, 156 J while the subject has taken this trend, I wish to tell 300 a story, perhaps most of you have not heard. He shot a mischievous lock at Miarton, who was placidly chewing a blade of grass. You perhaps are aware of the fact that we have in school a young man, musically inclined, who has organized a quartette. You also know the road to Dr. Richardson ' s farm — Bethpage ? The speaker ' s eyes swept the circle ini]5ressively, including Wharton, who sat up uneasily. Upon a cer- tain night not long since this manager felt that his quartette needed practice, so they pursued the path out to Bethpage. Once arrived, they stationed themselves under a tree, near a certain window, and began a lusty serenade. Unfortunately, a large and irate gobbler, who had taken this same tree for his roost, immediately resented being so rudely aroused, by drowning out their harmony with his vocif- erous gobbles. Because of the racket, the serenaders failed to hear a window open, and did not see a large basket containing cake, being lowered by a rope. So their good intentions, which Fate had so unkindl_ - frustrated, being in vain, they trailed sa ll ' back to liethany sans applause, sans cake. However, the family dog ])rofited by their misfortune, for it was an unusually fine cake. I ' nor Wharton ' s face was crimson, and as soon as he could make himself heard, he hastened to change the subject. Did you hear that the President was tr ing to fj1)tain a reviso for the college charter, so young women may enter as reg.dar students? (jood for our President! Hurrah! Wdn ' l that be fine? came in an ex- cited chorus. ' ell, exclaimed .McLean, I ' m glad I ' m graduating this year — girls too distracting — can ' t get fullest i re])araticin fur life ' s work with girls in same school. W ' dolery s])oke teasingly : Don ' t be sour. Sir .Vrchiball. it isn ' t chiv- alrous. ( )ne of those sudden, unaccountalile silences fell upon tlie group. It was not lirokcn for several moments, until Wharton s]ioke. The whole air of the young men changed as if they felt tlie different current of his thought. 1 wonder, he ninsed, his eyes fixed as u])on the long vistas of time reaching out before him, 1 wonder what the life work of each of us will be? W ' e have all come here with high ideals and a firm resolve to do some good in the world. These four vears each is spending at lcar old Bethany are full — full to the Ijrim of Ijoundless opportunities and wide visions. Have we imlubed the spirit of the founc ' er of this school? Have we ( ' one our best to make these the years of fullest and co)niikte t pre])aration f(!r work in the world? lie was silent for a moment, then his voice rang out, vigorously : ( )li ! we love it, all of it — our president, our beloved teachers, our dear fellowshi]is. All — even these old hills are trying to teach us that to honor man and God, we must serve, sm ' c! I. for one, am going to find the neediest ])lace I can, ami there I shall endeavor to emulate the examiile of I iim, n])on W honi the burden of the cross was laid. .As of one accord, the group of men rose to their feet and stood, silent, with bowed heads. It was as if they, too, were pledging themselves to that oath, then with serious, questioning faces they went forth into the workl of men. |0Y F. T.WLOR, ' 16, A f ba for l mtt au Woiih Unity II X a world crowded with military activities, its hospitals filled with the mutilated, its fair lands covered with the forms of patriotic dead, its treasuries depleted, its industries subject to destruction, its monuments of piety and learning desecrated, its history teeming with accounts of strife, and its very institutions permeated with the spirit of war : ve hear a call from all sane and right-thinking people for jjeace and world imity. Everv ci ' ilized nation is suffering from the evils of this deplorable war ; the higher the degree of civilization, the more intense the suffering. Neither remoteness from the field of battle nor neutrality frees a nation from the manifold evil eiTects of the war, Consecjuently the prevention of war has become a vital issue, and the plea for peace and world unity one of paramount importance. In the solution of this world-problem, however, we are confronted on every side by contrary facts. The world ' s horizon is indeed covered with war clouds, the nations are armed to the teeth, the waters of the world are ploughed with huge dreadnaiights, the spirit of en y and rivalry is operative, and the spirit of war |)ervades the thoughts of many of the leaders of nations. It had often been predicted that the fear of the awful cost of war would restrain the stranger and more highly civilized and organized powers from engag- ing in the red conflict of batlte. Until the midsummer of 1914 this seemed true. Then like a clap of thunder from a clear sky came the flash which plunged almost half the population of the world into this present lamentable struggle. Should this war continue indefinitely the world will be in inuuincnt danger of drifting back into a condition worse than that known as the Dark Ages, wdien races were divided into small luiits an;l war was the ruling passion. Surely there is enough intellect, enough ethical foundation, enough Christian morality left in the worM to command a halt before the place is reached beyond which recovery is practi- cally impossible. Again from the pessimist comes this statement: A nation must fight in order to preserve the manly virtues of fortitude and self-denial, antl that a nation without such training would easily fall into eft ' eminacy. Renan said: The day that humanit} ' achieves a great ])eaceful empire, having no e- tcrnal enemies, its morality and intelligence will be placed in greatest peril. Both science and his- torv, however, have furnished refutation of this argument. Iliology has estab- lished the truth that the breed of today constitutes the brain and brawn of tomor- row. Heredity follows a level course. The race of man is improved only by the selection of the best parentage. An inferior race will inevitably result from any influences that undermine strength, weaken intellect, and arrest energy. History works side by side with biology. The old Roman race was almost exterminated by war. The Napoleonic wars reduced the average stature of the French nation some three inches. The older and less vigorous were left to perpetuate the race. The spirit of peace is the secret of virility. The German nation had astonishing ]5rogress in commerce, agriculture, science, art and literature in the years follow- ing the Franco-Prussian war. ' e do not find the Germans on the battlefield today cowards and weaklings, but strong and sturdy soldiers, due to years of peace. But what will be the nation of tomorrow in Germany and the other war- 15S ring countries? A race of weaklings unable to cope with the peaceful nations of the world. With slight interruptions the United States has had a half-century of peace and what a wonderful lessen our development should be to those countries now in deadly conflict. Never have we had a period so rich in moral integrity and humanitarian development. The crowning glory of America today is her heroism free from the dare-deviltr} ' of war, crowned with intelligence, exalted bv moral- ity and filled with the divine spirit of peace. Facing these conclusive facts, how could an}- intelligent person set the youths of the nation at each other ' s throats in order to preserve vigor and cour- age, for this destruction of youth means a legacy of weakness upon the future generations. The working classes realize that war means destruction not only of life and i)ro]x ' rty. but of productive power as well. The men are taken from the fiek ' s and from business to fight in the armies and finally will fill the cemeteries on the battlefields. Our working men know that a single shut from one of the great guns costs $1,700, or enough to furnish a good home for themselves; they know that the cost of a peaceful cruise of our war fleet around the world would have |)aid the salaries of 1,700 ministers of the Gospel of Peace: they know that the construction of huge battleships costs more than that of college and university buildings. l ' riim year to year they see nations piling up an ever increasing bur- den of (lel)t. .And so, it is little wonder that they are crying for relief, seeking to disparage war and to establish peace and world-unity. The business man, also, is set against war. for he understands that it does not [jay. Ja|)an defeated Russia, but today Japan is poorer than at any time in her history. Germany defeated France, but Germany was burdened with a fear- ful war debt. Clearly peace is conducive to material progress as well as to ra- tional and moral development. Literature and inventions arc sensitive to the waste of war. Xo great things in these lines can be ])roduced while nations are at war with each other. Xo wonder that the peojdes of nations shrink at the havoc of war. They are alarmed to sec the efforts of the intellectual and constructive minds ])erverted b - strife. Surely the ]iresent day demand for peace is imperative. Only b ' interna- tional accord can this peace be consumated. What has alread ' been done towar.l bring about this ])eace and world-unity? General iiUernalional accord embodied in formal documents ratified by conventions is comjiaratively modern, most of them having been signed within the last fifty years. The first international agreement to receive general assent was ( ' rawn in ISi 4 and known as the Geneva Convention for the Amelioration of the Condition of Soldiers Wounded in . rmies in the Field, and was negotiated b_ ' representatives of twelve European States. Many general conventional agree- ments followed. War was a costly method of settling international disputes. The Hague Conference of 1S ' J9, consisting of twenty-six powers, had as its main object the agreement upon limitation of war. The result of their deliberations revealed clearly a furtherance of the aims of peace. In 1007 the second confer- ence, composed of 174 plenipotentiaries and delegates, was held at the Hague. ' I ' lie deliberations of this conference were particularly with reference to the fur- ther de ' elopment of law for the settlemeiU of international disputes. 1S9 Thus within lialf a century and until the outbreak of the present European war tlie impulses, the methods and the reasons for development of international accord were multiplied. i Iost of the nations respected international agreements. Will this war prove the upsetting of all national accord? No! Xot if all sane people will stand firm for peace and say: Enough destruction of life and prop- erty ! Enough drain upon the economic resources of the world ! Enough dese- cration of learning and morality! No thinking mind refuses to admit that the results of constructive energy are more gratifying than the results of destructive force. To upbuild is more worthy than to tear down. By what moral law are men allowed the pastime of killing one another? Divine law is disregarded. The One in Whom we live and move and have our being is forgotten. W ' hence can peace come save from Him to Whom we now cry for peace. And let our petition be in the name of the brotherhood of man. Let us pray that hostilities shall cease, that the nations of the world will be united in a world citizenship. We have reached our limitation in treaty-making powers and now we need the nations of the world united in a compact to submit all diflferences to an International Ar- bitration Court. John Hays J-iammond says: America, because of her irre- proachable neutrality, her conspicuous advocacy of peace, her commanding posi- tion in finance, industry and commerce, her freedom from political alliances, her cosmopolitan population, is ordained by Providence to take the lead in the World Peace Movement. Let us not forget also the teaching of the Great Rook — that which is temporal passes away, but that which is s])iritual remains. I et us teach the youth of America that in proportion as we cling to the higher things in just that measure will our nation be made stronger, more useful and influential in the world. Let us be ready and when the conclusion of peace between the warring powers ofifers the opportunity, exchange the bloody and debasing arbitrament of the rifie, the bayonet, the bomb, and the cannon for the arbitrament of justice and brotherhood. Let us not for one moment prove recreant in our task, but remain ever ready, pleading for peace and world-unity, and despite our present discour- agement the (h-eam of peace will come to pass, for — Behind the dim unknown, Standeth God within the shadow.

Philosophy and many others, we find a tree called Biz, a genus peculiar to that country, but similar to many of the same species — Alatrimonia. This tree begins to put forth new roots about the last week in Sep- tember, and grows rapidly until the following June, when the fruit drops off and the tree appears to die, but only remains dormant until the following season. Fruit begins to a]: pear earl} ' in the year and we always see it hanging in pairs, presenting a strange appearance, a sight often gazed upon with wonder and envy by the inhabitants of the country, and with distrust and resentment by the head gardener and his assistants. This tree causes more care an d attention than an}- other in the garden. At times the gardner finds the tree flourishing too rapidly, and uses his pruning knife, called Rules, in a rash and desperate manner, which only causes new shoots to spring forth, even stronger and larger than the old ones. Sometimes he finds some of the fruit rotting on the tree, which he plucks oflf ruthlessly. If the fruit develops too rapidly at first, nr if the climatic conditions have been unfavorable. either too warm or too cold, it drops off of its own accord and we usually find the ground strewn with it. Once in the history of the garden, this tree produced three pieces of fruit hanging in a cluster together, but nature could not stand this violation of custom and all three were soon found lying on the ground. Around this most popular tree grow several shrubs of the species Single- blessedness, and genus — non-bizites. which are tended carefully by the gardener, fertilized with Privilege, but which fail to develop and grow like the more popu- lar genus. This tree. Biz, will never become extinct, flourishing in the least favorable surroundings, always needing careful oversight, but by far the best developed of any tree in the garden. 163 ®J| l|a-l|a N at SENIOR PRIMER.

Va., April 9, 1913. This week there was formed in Bethany what is believed to be the pioneer organization of its kind. The official title of this new movement is The Society for the Snppression of Ragtime Music in America. As indicated by its name, the purpose of this organization is to institute higher and better musical ideals and strive for the suppression and ultimate abolishment of the cheaper kinds of popular songs which have obtained such a firm foothold in this country. The society feels that if the better kinds of music were played and sung, and if the other kind were frowned upon by thinking people, that reform would come of its own accord, and that the public taste so directed would come to the point of de- manding the better grade of musical entertainment and reject an} ' thing that sav- ored of tawdry cheapness. The baneful influence of such songs as ' AMio Paid the Rent for Mrs. Rip Van ' inkle, ' Are You Alone Tonight? and Snooky Ookums, is so patent that no one will seriously think of bringing it into question The impetus given this movement by the Bethany organization will, no doubt, sweep the entire country. Already, although no publicity to mention has been given the new project, encjuiries numbering a full score have come to the central body requesting information and literature leading to the establishment of local branches. It is the aim of the society to establish these branches, or, as they will be called, camps, in all the small towns and cities of the country. Special efforts will be made to locate them in educational institutions, where there is fer- tile ground for reform in this direction and where the popularity of the idea will be most eft ' ective. The society owes its birth to the enthusiasm and energy of Mr. L. K. Schwarm, who has long publicly decried the debased popular taste in matters musical and is zeal ous for the reinstatement in public favor of the beautiful lulla- bys and touching love songs of our grandmothers ' time. Mr. Schwarm feels that the society for which he stands sponsor, is but the reflection of a sentiment daily growing in strength and favor. Some of our leading magazines and newspapers, among them the Woman ' s W orld and the Chicago Inter-Ocean, have waged edi- torial war on the popular song and have strongly advocated the creation of a national board of censorship, akin to that already in force for the censoring of objectionable films. INfLUfiNCB BAD. It is held that the immoral or indecent film is seen but once and then for- gotten, but that the popular song, partaking of the same character, is heard over 170 and over again, perhaps avidl} ' and eagerly committed to memory. Frequently, the mere indecent suggestiveness of its lines is an aid to its retention, and the con- sequent far reaching harm it exerts. The personnel of the society is as follows: L. K- Schwarm, President; G. A. Poston, ' ice President: J. AlcCann, Secre- tary; Hayes Thompson, Treasurer. The membership fee is nothing and all in- terested in this movement are requested to communicate with the Secretary that their names may be enrolled. The membership blank is as follows: Date Name Post Office State Already, Bethany has a large and rapidly increasing camp among the stu- dent body, who are enthusiastic over the new reform. Literature setting forth the aims and purposes of the organization is in course of preparation, and will be ready for distribution in a short time. The officers are ready and willing at all times to aid by their counsel the formation of local camps. BOOHER WINS Fairmont, W. ' a., April 13, 1915.

SOPHOMORES MX ANNUAL FLAG RUSH AT BETHANY. Bethany, W. ' a., April 13, 1915. The aimual flag rush here today between the Freshmen and Sophomores was won b)- the meiubers of the Sophomore class after a severe struggle between the two classes, in which many were severely hurt and bruised as a result of the fight. William Holland, of Uniontown, Pa., and Joseph A ' illiams, of Columbu.., Ohio, each had their noses broken as a result of the fight. The struggle started on Monday night, when the Freshmen put their flag up on the college tower, which was removed today by the Sophomores after a hard struggle. Quite a large crowd was present to witness the contest between the two classes, which was very bitterly contested. 171 :- AN ACKNOWLEDGMENT.
