FOREWORD In this volume or The JDetnanian we have attempted to give only a partial record or events or the year, as a complete record would rill a vol- ume much larger than this. However this task has not heen easy, and while laboring under diffi- culties, we have endeavored to do our hest. If in after years, classmates, in the perusal of these pages, happy memories of college days are recalled, we shall feel that we have not labored in vain. THE STAFF. V HON. EARL W. OGLEBAY. DEDICATION In recognition or his many gifts ana kindly interest, ana with deep appreciation or his staunch support, especially in the Agricultural department, we dedicate The Betnanian or nineteen hundred and sixteen to Trie Honorable Earl W. Oglebay JUSTICE JOSEPH RUCKER LAMAR. InM emoriam JUSTICE JOSEPH RUCKER LAMAR. On the second of January at his home in Washington, D. C, died one of Bethany ' s most noted sons — Joseph Rucker Lamar, Associate Justice of the Supreme Court. Justice Lamar was born in Ruckersville, Georgia, October four- teenth, eighteen hundred fifty-seven. He graduated from Bethany College in eighteen hundred seventy-four. Rising quickly in his chosen profession of law, he soon became prominent in his native state, where he held several positions of honor. He was appointed in nineteen hundred ten to the L ' nited States Supreme Court, which office he most efficiently occupied until his death. However, in all these advances he never forgot his Alma Mater, serving faithfully upon the Board of Trustees. By his death Bethany has lost one of her staunchest and most loyal friends. PROFESSOR RICHARD HEXRY WYNNE. In Memonam PROFESSOR RICHARD HENRY WYNNE. The students of Bethany College unite in commemorating in this manner the influence of one of Bethany ' s truest and most lovable teachers. Professor Richard Henry Wynne, who on the last day of the year nineteen hundred fifteen died at his home in Bethany. Pern in York Count) ' , Virginia, April seventh, eighteen hundred forty-two, he graduated from Bethany College in eighteen hun- dred seventy-two, taking second honors. In eighteen hundred ninety-one, he be- came a professor in this institution, where he served faithfully until nineteen hundred eight, when he was made Professor-Emeritus of Hebrew, Economics, and Christian Doctrine. Xo one came into his classes without receiving some- thing of his kindly and sympathetic spirit. He will not be forgotten, for his mem- ory will continue to live in the hearts of hundreds of Bethany ' s students whose lives he so closely touched. i3ethanian Staff Elizabeth M.

Our shortcomings have been many and their forbearance great. We hope that the suc- ceeding classes may come to feel, as we, their uplifting influence. President T. E. Crambujt. 10 Milton Hover, B.

And so I settled down, In that quiet little town, On the banks of the Old Buffalo. Chorus. On the banks of the Old Buffalo, my boys, Where Old Bethany evemore shall stand, For has she not stood Since the time of the flood, On the banks of the Old Buffalo. As Fresh they used me rather roughly, But I the fearful gauntlet ran ; Oh, they shook me so about That they turned me inside out. On the banks of the Old Buffalo. We passed through all these trials nobly, And then as Sophs our turn began. Oh, we hazed the poor Fresh so That they longed for Heaven I know, On the banks of the Old Buffalo. And then I made my social entree, And joined in many a social band, And by my cunning art Stole many a maiden ' s heart, On the banks of the Old Buffalo. At last we joined the Senior circle, And spread our fame o ' er all the land, While we crowned our goblets high With the hopes of by and by, On the banks of the Old Buffalo. Then sing aloud for Alma Mater, The Green and White be in the van, For with her motto high Bethany ' s name shall never die, On the banks of the Old Buffalo. 16 17 Maynaed L.

Motto — Non Nobis Solum. 27 Senior Autobiography Who remembers one ' s very early childhood? None. Neither do we — ex- cept those first impressions of dear old Bethany, its Professors, and its large family. But obscurity was not destined long to shroud that aspiring nineteen twelve group. Progress stood near, eager to relinquish her hold upon the first mile-stone. And just here the hazy past of memory vanishes and centainty, unde- niable certainty, clusters about that first event — our first challenge, the conflict, the victory, the reward. By no special effort but with greatest ease we won that debate from the arrogant Sophs. Down deep in our trunks a menu lies buried, with this inscription thereon: The First Annual Freshman-Sophomore Debate. (Alas! that it was also the last! But we established the precedent. What more could we do?) With such an entree we well established our right to rule. Still that none might have a change to criticise us as being solely intellectual, we accepted a chal- lenge of physical strength and won a baseball game of eleven innings from the poor Freshies. They gave us a delightful picnic at the second tunnel — as a hum- ble tribute of respect to our well-rounded superiority. We leave it to our friends and critics to say that even this did not spoil us ; but as a safeguard against pre ju- dice, review our Junior career. The incoming Freshmen automatically doffed their caps to us, hailing us as Seniors. When oration time came, the Professors totaled up a bunch of grades and criticisms that more than proved our far-advanced wisdom. (Maybe that ' s why we didn ' t decorate the chapel for Senior Orations.) It isn ' t so enviable to be a Senior after such a record! In fact, it was but a small step upward. Should you look upon the recorded grades of our illustrious class, you will find an average unparalled in the past two decades ! Holding with so firm a grasp the past, we welcome the future. Age has caused us to respect and treasure the good things that our Alma Mater has given us, and has implanted within us the desire to help make Bethany ' s future still more glorious. Yet how will it be possible when this class shall have departed ? 28 J. R. Clark President Ministerial Asso- ciation. President Rechabite Club. A. L. S. Oratorical Association. Y. M. C. A.

The grass of the campus looks greener today, The birds never sang half so sweet ; Arrayed in fresh garments the pine-trees are gay. It seems that all Nature ' s combining to say, ' Twere foolish to go, ' twould be wiser to stay, Which our hearts, knit to Bethany, repeat. And yet we must answer the call of the world. To engage in its toil and its strife; Our morrows shall find us, our standards unfurled, Wherever the challenge of evil is hurled, Wherever the smoke of the conflict ' s upcurled, On the stern battle-ground of this life. We go now in hope, yet we go now in fear ; We ' re strong, yet we know we are weak ; We endeavor to smile, but forever the tear Proclaims that the hour of our parting is near. Perhaps all in vain through many a year A chance for re-union to seek. The songs we have sung as we marched day by day On the corridor mystic and old. Shall waken the years in the same happy way. When some of our number the pall-bearers lay In the tomb, and the rest are all withered and gray With the tale of this life well nigh told. But we will not repine, for we know it is best That we bid Alma Mater farewell, That we leave her behind, henceforth to attest The wisdom we ' ve gained, that we take up the quest Of our grails ere the sun of our day sink to rest At the call of the last vesper bell. 33 THE HEIGHTS. 34 JUNIORS 35 William E. Hanna. Behold ! ye, friends, our President Bill, whose long legs carry him up the hill, at a perfectly stu- pendous awful rate, especially when he knows there waits at the gate a little girl with flaxen hair — and they certainly make a handsome pair. We all know how he makes things hum : the Bible Class has been going some since William put his hand to the wheel. Then, too, he made such a wonderful spiel at Junior Orations that we surmise to the President ' s chair he ' ll quickly rise. Rah ! Rah ! Rah ! for William and Indiana Normal. AIary Adams. Mary is taking music. Also she is taking a rather strenuous course in biz. However, since George decided to leave Bethany for Ohio State, things have quieted down a little. Still there seem to be many vacations given in that institu- tion, all of which he likes to spend in Bethany. Mary is well liked by all the students and we wish her the greatest success in the future. Ernest F. Brown. Ernie is an Ag. He is tall as to stature, retir- ing as to disposition, excellent as a student. He is not seen often on the corridor, and still less frequently on biz. When it comes to Junior Ora- tions, however, he ' s right in the lead. Whatever he undertakes he carries through heartily, and we predict for him a most successful future. 36 Edwin V. Condron. Here is a flattering picture of Conny. He ad- mits it himself. In fact, lie is thinking of having several hundred printed and spreading them broadcast. Conny is noted especially for his playing and is a valuable member of our Orches- tra. On the corridor his long, lank form may be seen at all hours avec a certain maiden from Beaver Falls. We are all fond of Edwin, and with his cheery smile and ready wit he makes a valuable member of our class. John Colvic. This charming countenance you now behold is friend Jack. Little is known of this member of our class except that he hails from Wheeling and is the proud possessor of a Ford runabout which we can see whizzing about on spring evenings filled with a dozen or so Sigs. He plays the same kind of an instrument that old Bill Bailey plays, but we don ' t know how to spell it. Jack is also an Ag. student. Hugh DarsiE. Viola notre ami Monsieur Darsie. Nous all savons, what a beau student francais he is! Mais what signine cela? He used to be seen toujours dans le corridor avec la douce Lyrel— but alas! things have changed. Mais nevertheless he is a bright and shining light in Lit. classes, et cetera. 37 Simon Davidian. Age Probably 17 Height 5 ' 6 Weight 140 lbs. (?) Color of Eyes Brown Color of Hair India Ink Voice Nightingale Affinities Biz., Orations, A. L. S., Armenia Ralph Egbert. Mr. Egbert comes from Point Breeze, On cold winter mornings he surely would freeze Were it not for the hair on the top of his head, Which glows with a beautiful fiery red ; He once had a bizzite, but now alas ! His only affinity is his Sunday School class ; As a preacher we have for him prospects fair. For in Logic he shines like the shade of his hair. Nan Furbav. Now here ' s someone, we do opine, for whom we need not write a line, about the boys, not even name one in connection with her fame. It ' s done so often, looks so rough, we do not like to pull such stuff. But this is Nan, so you all know that what I ' ve said is not quite so. Just ope your eyes and look about and what you see will make you shout. She bizzes early, bizzes late, but ot these things we will not prate, but passing on, enumerate the things which Nan helps propagate. There ' s Sunday School, Y. W. C. A., Dramatic Club and Z. T. A. Just look around, but you ' ll not find another girl so to your mind. We side with George, so if you can, you have our leave. Here ' s to you. Nan ! 38 Lee Mahan. Watch for a quiet, blushing, young fellow, generally in the company of some fair creature of genial nature, or Bud, and you may be rea- sonably assured that it is Herman Lee Mahan of Fallansbee, W. Va., alias Eddie. He never took to athletics, but is reputed to be a good stu- dent, although those who know him — well ! He surprised us with an astonishing knowledge of the Ford Peace Party in Junior Orations, Al- though Eddie comes from a tin plate town, lie is a 14K Southern sympathizer. As to his future, it is hard to predict, but we venture to say that he will become connected with the teaching pro- fession sometime. Marie McCollam. This is Marie. As you can easily see she is of a reserved, quiet disposition. Sedate and digni- fied, many of us do not know her as well as we should like. Nevertheless, those of us who are so fortunate as to be more intimately acquainted with her will agree that she is blessed witli a strong sense of humor as well as a studious frame of mind. Altogether she is one of the most valuable members of our class. Nelson Myers. Nelson came to us longer ago than we care to confess. Upon questioning him as to the place from whence he came, we were astonished to learn that he hailed from that Tired city where they make balls, raincoats, and balloons. Nelse seems to have absorbed some of the elastic ma terial before he bounced into- this burg, as he tried to stretch one year of strenuous biz over three. Alas ! it was of poor quality, for it would not stand the strain. If you look for Myers don ' t expect a big noise, for he too quiet and reserved. Nelse is a fine fellow and a friend of everyone who knows him. The easiest way to find Myers is to look for rUR. auto-tire wach foh. 39 Simon Davidian. Age Probably 1 7 Height 5 ' 6 Weight 140 lbs.

We feel quite honored to introduce you to Mr. Norment. He is one of our most illustrious classmates. Blest with an unfailing sense of hu- mor and a pleasant word for everybody, he has won no mean place in our regard. He pursues the even tenor of his ways with a quietness and persistency that bodes well for his future success. But, no wonder, for he comes from old Virginia. Mr. Norment is always busy. We wonder how in the world he accomplishes what he does. His grades are always high. Good luck to him ! U. G. Palmkr. Ulysses Grant Palmer hails- from Verona, of which city Pittsburgh is a suburb. Pope, as one might infer from his name, comes from a fighting stock, we understand, being a direct descendant of that famous general, whose name he bears. We have never seen him with his battle axe un- der his arm, but he gets it out now and then when he burns the midnight oil over the Menace. A still tongue bespeaks a wise head. That ' s Ugie. He is a deep thinker and in constantly drinking in other people ' s chatter, then remark- ing to himself: What fools these mortals he ' . We believe if he keeps on as he lias started he ' s sure to amount to something some day. Josephine Porter. Who hates her Math like poison, say ! And comes late to dinner every day Because she can ' t flunk anyway; Jo Porter. Who doesn ' t biz a bit this year, But writes to Pittsburgh with a tear. And only wishes Mac was here. Jo Porter. Who takes to crochet with a bang ; But can ' t quite seem to give up slang ; And says she doesn ' t care a hang. Jo Porter. Who ' s a mighty loyal Z. T. A., But gives second place to old K. A., And will be true to them for aye. Jo Porter. Who ' s a good friend to have at hand, A classmate of the Junior Band, The bonniest lassie in the land. Jo Porter. 40 RdUDOU ' H RUNNRR. Everybody knows Rudy of Hundred, W. Va., and that he ' s one hundred per cent oracular in his make-up. Inevitably found at two places — Post Office at ten-thirty A. M., and Adelphian Literary every Monday night — commonly appear- ing on its program from one to five times per eve. A disciple of Cicero, Webster and Professor Sut- ton. The smiles leaves him not — even in sleep. Steady in everything, except biz. This year Rudy has the single track mind — on V. M. C. A., of which he is president-pusher. Next num- ber on the program will be a reading by Mr. Renner. The gods will see that Rudy sits on top somewhere. Blaine Smith. Mr. Smith is a new member of the class, but though he was late in coming, he is not at all be- hind in the matter of grades. From the very first he astonished us by his brilliant recitations, giv- ing evidence of a most remarkable memory. As for biz, he has not so far shown any great inter- est in the art, although he was on hand at the Ag. banquet. Perhaps he left his heart in the south- ern part of the state when he came. The Faculty need not be alarmed at his frequent visits to the Z. T. A. House, for he confines his attentions to the matron ' s flat. Austin TeishEr. Behold the Millersburg Magnate in Standard Oil ! The man whose daily beauty sleep lats from 7 P. M. to 7 A. M. A mystery adorns his college career, to-wit : In his Freshman year, we re- member, his Sunday dress was a red jersey; his every-day garb the same. But now he invariably appears in immaculate linen. But the mystery is suddenly solved when we perceive that his desti- nation is merely Corridor Pew No. 2, South. Red has won the friendship of every student in college. Nor is he without honors — witness the fact that he is manager of the first basketball team turned out by Bethany in many years, that has not lost a single game. 41 Roberta Tener. Roberta Tener, here she is ! The only time she ' s seen on biz is just before a banquet Sig ; but then she doesn ' t care a fig, for her affections run to Greek, but in her math she ' s sorter weak. However, that belongs to the past, for let me tell you how very fast she paints the Zeta menus neat, and does so many other feats of note that we believe our Bob is fine — but we can ' t think of another line.

The Juniors are like the undercurrent of a stream — they seldom appear to make a demonstration, but much of the power of the school is vested in their quiet strength. Orations, the terror of all former classes, are our special pride and delight. (Oh, don ' t be alarmed — this is just a new system of treatment for the Faculty. Kicking won ' t work, so maybe this will. Who knows?) Though we flourish in other respects, we are beginning to doubt that we retain our time-honoder drag with the Faculty, for they are overworking us hor- ribly this year.

This, of course, was due to the dignified bearing of the newcomers, and their ease of accustoming themselves to their surroundings. The upperclassmen decided that this would never do. Finally a bright idea came to them, and for two weeks the Freshmen proudly, though much to the delight of the other students, wore attrac- tive little caps of green and white. After these two weeks of getting acquainted, the Freshmen were consid- ered initiated into Bethany ' s rules and customs — that i , all excepting biz. The boys did not become acquainted with that institution until after the first term. It is not in a boastful frame of mind that the Freshmen speak of the Freshman-Sophomore class fight. For anything won so easily we took the honors very meekly. We think it only fitting, however, to give this memorable event mention here. In social functions as well as sports we have not been out-done by our older comrades. At the Opening Social we made our debut, ami this has been followed by a round of pleasant occasions. Last, but by no means least, athletics has played an important part in our short history. And we feel confident that the rising class of 1919 holds many future winners for dear old Bethany. 53 54 55 The Prep Department The Preparatory Department has been doing good work this year. Greater enthusiasm has been shown than ever before in trying to make this department mere interesting to its students. The main item of interest this vear was the founding of our Campbell Literary Society. Early in the fall term it was formed under the supervision of Professors Sutton and Sprowls and all preparatory stu- dents were made eligible. Every effort has been put forth to develop the talents of its members and we feel sure that all who are members of its society will be more efficient for their college work than those who clo not take advantage of it. We hope for even better things by another year, and we sincerely think that this red-capped, much-ridiculed department will some day court out victorious. 56 57 58 Adelphian Literary Society Colors — Purple, Gold and White.

The purpose of the organization was to be the study of rural problems, the advancement of agricultural interests in general and those of the Agricultural Department of Bethany College in particular. In all these aims the club has m et with fair success. While only two of our charter members are still with us they have retained enough of the original spirit of the organization to instill its principles into the minds of the succeeding generations of Aggies. As a result we now have a strung organization, loyal to the school and to the department. When Mr. Oglebay founded the Department of Agriculture it was his aim to give the practical as well as the theoretical side of Agriculture. This plan has materialized in the present system of operating the College Farm and was the inspiration of the motto of the Ag. Club, Learn to Do By Doing. The club now numbers about 40 members and as a result of a gift from the man responsible for the existence of the Department of Agriculture we have taken a broader view of the duties of a rural organization and now have what Professor .Miller in Rural Sociology would call a community center, in other words, a gathering place or home of our own. This means that when we are out in the world doing the things we have learned to do by doing, we will have something more than mere memories to look back at when we think of Bethany. Since the only means we have of gauging the future is by the accomplish- ments of the past, and since the Agricultural Club has been, so far, a success, we can see no reason why we should not predict not only a future as successful as hss been the past, but even a greater success. This spring will witness the completion of the regular course by the first class of Aggies and they owe much of whatever they may have accomplished while in Bethany to the influence of the Agricultural Club and to strict observance of its motto: LEARN TO DO BY DOING.

Well, I will tell you about this invention and how it helped me to find ont what my classmates at Bethany were going to do. When I was a Senior at old Bethany, in 1916, there was one fellow in school whom no one seemed to understand, because he refused to mix with the rest of us. One day I asked him why he made such a hermit of himself, and, after some urging, he told me. He had always been interested in machinery, and had studied with eagerness the development of the aeroplane. Having a strong imagination, he began to wonder why he could not invent some such machine to carry one into the past or future. After thinking of this for a long time he at last decided to put the dream into something material and had started his work. Since everything was now completed, he accepted, after some considera- tion, the offer of my services as his assistant in the first flight of this wonderful invention. The machine looked like a miniature aeroplane and had seats for two. In front of the operator ' s seat, beside the usual devices for the manipulation of machinery, were three levers, one labeled Past, anothr, Prsent, and the third, Future. These were the levrs which, when pulled, would carry us to the past, leave us in the present, or take us to the future. That night after the lights were out we carried the time-machine to the hill back of the College, climbed in, and started it. I told my companion I wanted to see what the dignified Seniors would be doing in twenty years. So he pulled tire Future lever, and we seemed to be going straight up in th air. After traveling for a few minutes at a rate that made breathing almost impossible, my companion said: Here we are in 1936, and here is Washington, D. C, right under us. Let ' s go down and see what is happening there. I agreed and we alighted. As we drew near the capitol we saw a great throng crowding the streets. Upon inquiry we learned that Congress was about to vote on a bill prohibiting the growth, sale and use of tobacco. Delegates from all over the country had col- lected to champion their cause. The reason for the immense crowd was a speecli by one of the geratest anti-tobacco leaders of the country. Drawing nearer, we saw to our great surprise that the speaker was none other than our beloved John Mertens. John finished his speech just as we arrived. He was delighted to see us, and with him as guide we started on a tour of the city. Upon turning a corner we saw a group of men collected around two others who were having a rough-and-tumble fight. Just as we arrived a policeman ap- peared and arrested the fighters, whom to my surprise I recognized as Maynard Patton and John R. Sloan. It seems that Maynard was pastor of a church in Bal- timore and had come to Washington to support the cause of No-Tobacco, while Sloan was pastor of a church in Washington and was an enthusiastic defender of tobacco. They had met on the street and had had an argument which finally led to blows. We followed them to the police station and succeeded in having them released. While talking with Patton we learned that his wife was also in the city, and were not surprised to find that she used to be Mary Royce. We then went to the Senate Chamber and saw a short, chubby man sitting in the chair of the President pro tempore. He looked familiar, and we soon saw 118 that it was Senator Helmick. The business before the Senate was the discussion of a petition presented by Esther Royce and Lyrel Teagarden, representatives of the Woman ' s Suffrage League of America. That night we attended a reception given in honor of President-elect Gates and his wife, whom we recognized as Martha Cox. We met several of our old Bethany friends at the reception, including Mrs. Helmick, nee Edith Baker, a certain Mrs. Lappin from Alaska, and W. C. Fowler, the first Ambassador to the United States from Canada, which had just gained her independence from England. We were puzzled for a while about the identity of Mrs. Lappin, but finally decided that it was Elizabeth Morgan. The next day we visited the various departments of the Government, and were received with great joy by Secretary of Agriculture Bittner, who was at that time having a conference on the question of the economic agricultural im- portance of tobacco and its effects upon the user. He invited us to take part in the conference and led us to his private office. Here, to our amazement, we be- held the world-famous chemist, E. W. Lape, the greatest physician in the United States, Margaret Monroe, and the President of the American Tobacco Company, A. E. Sims, with his wife, Carolyn Gordan Sims. After leaving the Department of Agriculture we visited the newly estab- lished Department of Historical Research and had quite a chat with the Secre- tary of the department, Gladstone Yeuell. Next we visited the National Asylum for Homeless Cats and found the quiet, dignified little woman in charge to be our old friend, Rosa Dunlap. On Pennsylvania Avenue we met the greatest medical missionary of the age, C. W. Pultz, who had just returned from Africa to attend a convention of foreign and home missionaries. At his invitation we accompanied him to the afternoon session of the convention. We were especially delighted with the speech on missionary work in Southern West Virginia, by E. B. Hensley. We took supper with Carl that evening, and in the course of our conversation he men- tioned the great work being done in the mission field of India by a Mrs. Mantle. Seeing that we were not particularly interested in anyone named Mantle, he pro- ceded to explain that Mrs. Mantle was formerly Joy Taylor. In the course of our conversation we were suddenly reminded of the time- machine, which we had temporarily forgotten. We must be getting back to Beth- any. We returned to the place where we had left the machine and started up the coast to visit some of our Eastern cities before going back to College. When we were within about ten miles of Newark, N. J., we ran out of gasoline and stopped at a comfortable-looking farm house to get some. Just as we stopped, a wagon drawn by a beautiful pair of Suffolk horses appeared around the corner of the barn, and it took us some time to recognize the former Secretary of Agriculture Rudebock, who had clone such great work in rejuvenating the worn-out farms of New Jersey. After we had talked over old times together for an hour or more, he sup- plied us with gasoline and started us on our journey. We gave up our intended visit to New York and returned to Bethany, arriving there just in time to par- take of delicious weenies, prunes, etc. A. L. R., ' 16 and S. F. B., ' 16. 119 Orchestra R. W.

When but six B-Men returned to College this fall it may be seen that the work of completing the team from a light scrub and the inexperi- enced material of the Freshman Class was no easy task. It was impossible to settle upon a fixed team early in the season because for several positions there were no men cf pronounced ability. Later on acci- dents to the best men on the team continued to keep the line up in an uncertain state. As a result the team work was not all that could be desired. At the opening of the season over thirty men reported for practice. Pep reigned supreme, the whole student body turning out each evening to watch the men in their preliminary practice, and to give them encouragement from the si !e lines. This did much to keep up the esprit dc corps. Coach Tarr, who came to us from the University of Alabama, vvorke 1 un- tiringly with the new men, teaching them the principles of the game.

Bourne; (Reprinted from Lookout). Some people think that poetry belongs to the category of decoratives in the economy of life. Like those chromos that adorn the walls of some prim, musty parlors to give an air of gentility before company, so poetry should dangle along the side walls of our mental habitation to help out when we are a sort of intellectual dress parade. But poetry, far from belonging to the mere frills of life, has a very serious part to play in the conduct of affairs. Poetry serious? I hear a skeptical voice inquire. By all means. I should not much fear to make the assertion that the making of the poetry of a nation is, by all odds, the most serious business in which that nation can engage. Why, it deals with a man ' s affection, with his ideals, his purposes, his spiritual longings, with all those transcendent things that go to make him a man over and above the food he eats, the clothes he wears, the size of his bank account. Poetry has little to do directly with this hurrying, worrying, Martha side of life, but it catches the Mary vision — it sees and holds fast that better part than cannot be taken away. Poetry is engaged in the manufacture of souls, and since, as Ruskin puts it, the making of souls of a good quality is the leading business of a nation, poetry leads all the other activities of a country in the value of its finished product. From these remarks it follows that man needs poetry to sustain him as surely as he needs beefsteak and potatoes; for the greatest hunger is not for bread and meat, but for that which refreshes the spirit, which sustains his faith in the pure and the good, which empowers him to rise out of his meaner, baser self into a broader, freerer life of sympathy and hope and love. This soul-hunger it is that has driven men in all ages and countries to turn again and again with the keenest relish to the songs that charm the ear and gladden the heart. And the poet, the maker of these songs, he is no idler, no shiftless dreamer; he belongs, on the contrary, to that great army of men and women known as the serving class. He rises early and sits up late plying his task. He is out before sunrise brushing the dew from the hills, wading the snowdrifts that whiten the fields, garnering riches that most of us despise. It is a well-attested fact that Ten- nyson spent many a night out under the stars, pacing the lonely coastguard path over the downs of Wight. Wordsworth was a most familiar figure along the hills and vales of his beautiful Westmoreland at all hours of the day and night. The humble dalesman met him in the early morning twilight, dusty even then with his long tramp over the mountain paths ; the belated workman saw him, oar in hand, scudding the lakes far into the night: he made haste to reap the fields at noontime, when nature ' s sun-glad harvest yield its choicest wealth of beauty for the soul. King David, I am sure, sat up man a night to study the stars, else he could never have given us that inimitable interpretation of the heavens found in the nineteenth Psalm : The heaven declare the glory of God ; And the firmament showeth his handiwork. Day unto day uttereth speech, And night unto night showeth knowledge. 138 These images came first-hand from a close companionship with nature under the skies of a clear Judean night. I repeat it : the poet belongs the working class ; he is incessantly toiling for the uplift, the redemption of the race, exploring and developing those unmapped regions of truth and beauty, of unfading youth and joy and gladness, whose garnered wealth is needed to meet the demands and pay the bills of our spiritual housekeeping. What I have just said may serve, by the way to explain some apparently unfair discriminations made in paying the laborer his hire. Why should one man. for instance, work like a slave for eight and ten hours a day shoveling dirt from one side of the road to the other and receive for his honest toil not more than a dollar and a half or two dollars, while another sits down, and with a few strokes of his pen, dashes off a hundred words and draws a check for five hundred or a thousand dollars? With such unfair discrimination against the man with a spade? Simply because on man labors for the day ' s ration : the other to satisfy soul-needs ; the one looks to his own immediate wants ; the other to those of his fellows, striv- ing to bring them under more ennobling ideals ; the one is a mere wage-earner ; the other is a benefactor. The poet a benefactor? I hear someone repeat. John Howard was a benefactor; Florence Nightingale, too; Rockefeller is a benefactor as he pours out his thousands to deliver stricken Serbia ; all that noble band of physicians and nurses ministering today on the battlefields of Europe to the wounded and dying — these are the benefactors of the race. True, and among them I should place the poet ; furthermore, I should place him at the head of the list as the greatest of them all. Ah, I see you are smiling at this ; but you will agree with me. I believe, that the man who breathes into his fel- lowman a longing to come up to the highest measure of manhood, to yield himself to the control of ever nobler aspiration, performs a greater service, in the end, than he who simply heals his maladies and puts bread in his mouth. Mind, I do not decry the ministrations of those noble men and women who feed the hungry and clothe the naked. But suppose, for a moment, the children of men all mate- rially provided for — well clad, well shod, comfortably dined: Poor cant of life indeed, were man thus formed to feed. Imagine them, now, seated about their cozy firesides for a season of rest and lei- sure ; what then? Ah, there rises beside each one, out of his inmost depths, that other self, that starved soul, and asks for its lost heritage of beauty, asks for those ideals that give patience and power for high endeavor, for those emotions that give meaning to life as the days go by. Who, I ask, can answer the demands of this hungering, thirsting, long-neglected suppiant ? Who but the seer, the prophet and interperter of the soul. Who, indeed, but the poet, the man with the vision, living in a world apart from care and weakness and strife, where the faiths that inspire and the ideals that lead are the great and lasting verities ? What, then, is poetry, that the maker of it should be exalted thus above his fellows? Shelley says: Poetry is the record of the best and happiest moments of the best and happiest minds. Such a record is certainly worth preserving and handing down to the latest comer of the race. Ruskin says: Poetry is the sug- 139 gestion by imagination of noble grounds for noble emotions. Surely all noble grounds for noble emotions should be welcomed with reverence amid the con- fused, petty cries of the present. DeQuincey says: All great poetry seeks to communicate power. All the great minds agree in this, that poetry has some- thing dynamic in its make-up. Poetry quickens and energizes life — it communi- cates pore. But what kind of power does it communicate? Not that power, perhaps, that moves mountains or dredges the sea; but, if it be true poetry, it may be that greater power to stir those emotions of the soul that lie at the foundation of con- duct, those emotions that touch the main-springs of action and lead to sustained, noble living. The poetry of Tennyson rings with these dynamic passages. Take, for example, the speech of Athena to Paris : Self-reverence, self-knowledge, self-control — These three alone read life to sovereign power. to give by law, Acting the law we live by without fear, And because right is right, to follow right Were wisdom in the scorn of conscience. This high-souled Pallas precept once planted in the heart of a man or a nation not only lays a safe foundation for life and government, but fires the soul to dare and do, irrespective of the world ' s false standards to the contrary. Or take these words from another poet ' s pen : We are not here to play, to dream, to drift. We have hard work to do and loads to lift. Shun not the struggle ; face it. ' Tis God ' s gift. Listen, again, to the steady, martial swing of these lines, the triumph of the close : It matters not how deep entrenched the wrong. How hard the battle goes, the day how long. Faint not, fight on! Tomorrow comes the song. These lines stir to deeds of prowess in the battle with wrong. But there is another heroism even more difficult to attain — heroism in the midst of the petty cares of the common day. As a champion of this obscure heroism, one poet be- fore all others rises before me. Listen to what he says : If I have faltered more or less In my great task of happiness; If I have moved among my race And shown no glorious morning face; If beams from happy human eyes 140 Have moved me not; if morning skies, Books and my food and summer rain Knocked at my sullen heart in vain — Lord, thy most pointed pleasure take And stab my spirit broad awake ; Or, Lord, if too obdurate I, Choose thou before that spirit die Some piercing pain, a killing sin, And to my dead soul run them in. In this sturdy little poem, which he calls The Celestial Surgeon, Steven- son is challenging each of us to rise out of the dumps, and march to the sound of bugles. His whole life was a courageous fight against ill health and consequent despondency; he laid upon himself the task of happiness, nor did he ever shirk his task. An incident in his choldhood well exemplifies the fine temper of the man. As a small boy he took delight in wearing a little sword, and at one time, when he was required to wrap himself in a shawl, he was greatly humiliated at the unsoldierly uniform, but a quick thought removed the sting. Don ' t you think, he asked, it will look like a night march? His entire life, says his biographer, was a brave effort to translate the darkened journey of an invalid into a night march, the shawl into a martial cloak. These lines of Stevenson in- spire the most difficult of heroisms — heroism forged from the unheroic common- places of the common day. Like Stevenson, the poet Wordsworth strikes ever and anon those inspirit- ing chords that call the soul to hearty good cheer in living, despite impending ills. As he watches a kitten playing with the falling leaves in the autmun sunshine, he sights a playtime of the soul, even when age has darkened its way — a playtime than can be had by each of us for the mere effort of will. And I will have my careless season Spite of melancholy reason. I ' ll walk through life in such a way That when time brings on decay, Now and then I may possess Hours of perfect gladsomeness. I ' ll keep the sprightly soul awake And have faculties to take, Even from things from sorrow wrought, Matter for a jocund thought ; Spite of care and spite of grief, I ' ll gambol with life ' s falling leaf. These words sing themselves right out of the heart that can never grow old. The cares of life harden around us, and unless we meet them with some such buoyancy of mind and heart, they stiffen and palsy the soul. When the soul takes on it ' s earthly freight. And custom lies like frost upon us, 141 it is the poets — those men with morning farces — that come to the rescue, and help us to turn our ozim faces toward the sunrise. But the poet is not a teacher of morality alone, a pedagogue of duty ; he is a minister of beauty ; it is his to awaken our slumbering senses to the beauty of the world, to all that charm in field and flower in sunrise and moonrise and star- light, that is running to waste for lack of vision. In our dull, matter-of-fact plod- ding we are conscious, perhaps, that it is sun-up before our task is begun; but the poet speaks, and lo ! what do we see? The ugly commonplace is transfigured : with him we see the vision of .Morn in the white wake of the morning star Come furrowing all the orient into gold. That, indeed, is something worth getting out of bed to behold. How much, how very much, we miss, as we journey along the way, by not cultivating the friend- ship of the poets ! It has this keen sense of beauty and its power to transfigure the common- place that enabled our own Lowell to invest a simple day in June with that ineffa- ble charm which, like a contagion, spreads delight and gladness. Oh, what is so rare as a day in June? Then, if ever, come perfect days. Then heaven tries the earth if it be in tune And over it softly her warm ear lays. Whether we look or whether we listen, We can hear life murmur or see it glisten : Every clod feels a stir of might. An instinct within it that reaches and towers, And groping blindly above it for light. Climbs to a soul in grass and flowers. I do not envy the man who can read these lines and not feel his soul leap out into a realm of perennial gladness. They have power to throw open the gates of new life. The song of Pippa, in Browning ' s poem, has the same message of elemental delight in springtime, bird songs and dewy grass. With what a heart- ening shout it closes ! God ' s in His heaven ! All ' s right with the world. One service of the poets we should never lose sight of : they are pre-emi- nently the men who keep the religious fires of life burning. They recharge the batteries of our faith for a new advance. Of England ' s two great sons of song in the nineteenth century, that century filled with the clamor of creeds, with the discordant cries of science and skepticism and unfaith, they kept the faith. They stood by the old altars and gave a firmer faith in the old story from Judean hills. They called men back to the old faith, to the pure life, to the deathless hope. Of 142 Tennyson, Stopford Brooks says: This faithful fighter, who stood for sixty years defending the bridge of faith in immortal life against his own doubts and those of his time, laid down his arms at last conscious of victory. In one of his latest poems — Silent Voices — we ca tch the sure note of one who is certain of his way. The face of Death, he says in another, is toward the sun of life. His shadow darkens earth; his true name is ' Onward. ' His last word, Cross- ing the Bar, needs no comment ; it is the priceless heritage of faith to all who speak the English tongue. Like the night watchman on the great ocean liner, he- paced the deck through darkness and storm, and ever and anon through the long- night hours called out his assuring message, All ' s well with the ship. He was himself the sentinel That moves about from place to place Whispering to the worlds of space In the dark night that ' all is well. And all is well, though faith and form Be sundered in the night of fear ; Well roars the storm to those who hear A deeper voice across the storm. And so it is; the po ets, working deep down beneath the show of things. build the homes of our souls. Rock-founded are they, and broad-based on our mother earth; but they have windows skyward, and there, above the tumult of the little earth, the great world sings. 143 144- 145 OF A LIGHTER VEIN.

Seated one day in my flivver, I was weary and ill at ease. The bus was jarring my liver, While I was dodging the trees. I know not where I was going. Or where I was driving then. But I struck a board and the music Made the sound of a big tin pan. I blasted the early morning With words like blue lightning streaks. For without the ghost of a warning, The tank sprang seventeen leaks. I waited not to parley, For the heels of a mighty boom Shot me up without having hardly A thought of eternal doom. I have sought, but I seek it vainly. This little lost bus of mine That blew me sky-high in anger. As straight as a plumber ' s plumb line.

But to discuss the matter on paper for the critical inspection of the English Department is an altogether different matter. Still the job is all mine, and it is a case of make good, or At the present advanced stage of civilization, we read with horror of the atrocities committed by the Spanish Inquisition. And some people won- der that the rest of civilization stood for such a thing. Little did they dream that one of its most horrible modes of torture has been handed down to us, and is in use today. It is catalogued under the title, Junior and Senior Orations. Never was a poor man on the rack more cruelly tortured than one of us when he steps out upon the stage before the critical eye of the assembled multitude. His struggle to strike some fitting pose and at the same time keep rendering his lines, are pitiful. To do all of this properly he would have to be a cross between a Victrola and Christy Mathewson winding up to deliver his fade-away. Even old Prometheus, with the vulture continually tearing at his liver, suffered no more than the Juniors and Seniors during ' the chapel criticisms the morning after. This is what makes anarchists of men and suffragettes of women. As for myself, I think that a few more orations will force me to seek refuge for the remainder of my days in the Institute for Mental Cripples. EQUESTRIANISM. Equestrianism is becoming a popular college sport, especially during the months of December, March and May. Many students own their own steeds, though a few use or borrow those belonging to friends. These ani- mals are of many different sizes, the small ones being most generally used. 153 The large ones, as all plow horses, are rather awkward to manage. They are white with black markings. They stand without hitching, though many stu- dents tie to them. They are extremely delicate creatures. It is not safe to leave them out of doors. One was left out in a rain storm once and never could be used again, owing to softening of the fibers and the destruction of tissue. They are susceptible to drafts. Their hide is easily torn by rough handling. The chief constituents of their diet are paper and ink. These animals are self-conscious and seek shelter if observed too closely by a stranger. They have a marked aversion for some people — professors in particular. They dif- fer from other horses in that they rarely stand. They prefer to lie flat. They reflect the characteristics of their owners in many ways. They are wise crea- tures, having more knowledge than the owners themselves. They are easy to train, and after becoming skillful in the use of one of these steeds, the owner can jog along until nearly the end of the race, and then by clever and quiet manipulation come past the judges stand in Class A. It is a easy means of progress. Some ride with a great deal more skill than others. Occasion- ally a rider has a fall and suffers severely from bruised conscience, but seldom do these steeds balk. At the end of the season they are sold to the highest bidder or cremated. AT OUR JOKES — He who laughs last is an Englishman. — Princeton ' iger.

She threw them up to the ceiling and then she let them drop to the floor. She darted them down a long corridor in Phillips Hall anil rested them on the cool green grass of the dull ground. She let them linger on a good-looking Ag, who was cruellv indifferent, so she bathed them in sad salt tears, wiped them and swept them with long lashes. He came to call on Monday afternoon. She riveted her eyes on the curtain, and then she fixed them on the light. They burned and glowed at his words. They flashed fire. They narrowed to little points of light. They became steeley. She looked a hole through him. She froze him with a glassy stare. She weighed his words and the scales fell from her eyes. Her laughing eyes danced. She looked at him with her heart in her eyes. They spoke volumes. They became swimming pools of light. He gazed into the liquid, unfathomable depths, and was irretrievably lost.
