U. - ?5 ' ' -=w fe ' ' %C ' « ' THE BOARD OFTEtJSTEES Homes of the School N historical sketch of the Brigham Young University takes the reader back to a time when Provo was a country village. The city is not yet completely urban- ized? for the meek-eyed cow still pays the land-tax, even on our fine cement side-walks. But in 1875, and even for a decade thereafter, the threshing ma- chine hummed on more than one spot where now clicks the typewriter, and the old-fashioned horse power cumbered Main street at many a front gate, for brief intervals. the preeminence which Provo is destined to at- a swift growth of the city, built a structure Nevertheless, men foresaw even then tain. One man in particular, believing which must have surprised and delighted the sturdy pioneers, and encouraged them to shed their log cabins and put on adobe. The Lewis block, for so it was called, occu- pied the ground now partly covered by the Farmers ' and Merchants ' bank. It abut- ted on the sidewalk, and consisted of two long store-rooms below, with office rooms at the back, and a public hall above. Di- rectly over the two offices was a stage which was elevated four feet above the main upper floor. Three feet more had been taken from the height of the ceiling in the offices below; and the space thus cre- ated midway between the ground and the roof, made room for actors to drown or hoist ore, or be hurled down rocky preci- pices, to soft bed-springs below. This cellar in mid-air is of historic significance, in The Lewis Block [9] .Msda 1. j . X— aiUBiii iHa ' ' . 5 m i for it was here on the night of January 24, 1884, that the first home of our beloved institution caught fire and burned to the ground. But I anticipate my story. The owners had no sooner completed this excellent commercial block, than they discovered it to be the proverbial white elephant on their hands. It was by reason of this fact that Brigham Young found occasion to pur- chase the property. And so it happened that by a deed of trust, executed October 16, 1875, he found- ed the Brigham Young Academy. A pie- liminary session had already been held the previous year, with Messrs. Warren N. and Wilson H. Dusenberry, two young college- bred men recently from the East, as teach- ers; they were succeeded in the spring by Dr. Karl G. Maeser. But the academic year is reckoned from August 25, 1875, when the school was formally opened, the dedicatory prayer having been offered by President Daniel H. Wells. The enrollment increased so that during the fourth year the average attendance was about 250; but in the years following it grew to 350; and during one year to 400. This in- crease lead A. O. Smoot, President of the board, to build two additions, one on the north and one on the east, thus furnishing four new class rooms. The school had grown very rapidly, and was rejoicing in its new found opportunities, when the great fire came. That was a momentous episode, not only for the four hundred students in attendance, but for the entire city. About midnight of January 24, 1884, the flames burst through the roof, startling the neighborhood. The lurid glare lit up the snow for blocks around. The meeting house bell clamored out the terrifying news, and soon bucket brigades were formed; but the flames had gained too much headway, and fed by the keen frosty air, they made a most magnificent pyrotechnic display. Nor was there ever a more fascinated audience than that made up of the saddened faces upturned to this funeral pyre of their Alma Mater. [10] The Z. C. M. I. Building All the city had been aroused, and next morning the students were moving everywhere about the smoking embers. There seemed to be no note of hope left in the subdued conversa- tion of the little groups here and there. The only question seemed to be how soon they could get ready to start for home. Presently Brother Maeser, whose white hair and dignified bearing had already made him venerable, mounted a chair, and called the crowd to order. There was hope shining out in his fine, strong face and courage in the ring of his voice. Bidding the students not to lose heart, he invited them all to a meeting in the Stake tabernacle. Here the lesson of the fire was impressed upon us? and we were told, not only that the school would go on, but that steps had already been taken to erect new and suitable quarters. Events moved rapidly that day? President Smoot had just completed the bank building on the corner of Academy avenue and Center street? and although the First National Bank corporation, the Smoot Drug Company, and various office renters, were ready and eager to move in, the grand old man moved them all off, to give a free home to the homeless school. By the following morning black-boards had been made and placed in the walls, and desks and benches filled all the rooms. That the institution should, in the face of so overwhelming a calamity, lose only one day of regular work, was al- ways thereafter a source of tender pride to its first great teacher. But the bank building proved inade- quate for more than the normal, academic, and commercial departments. It became a question, therefore, whether or not to discontinue the grades. At this point an- other public-spirited gentleman came to the rescue. Mr. L. L. Jones had just com- pleted a new store on the site now occupied by the Piovo Meat Packing Co., and here the rest of the school found shelter? the intermediate departments below, the prim- ary and preparatory above. As is well known Dr. Maeser had not only to develop the school itself? he had The mgh school Buiming [11] 12 J-||.-vi 1 1 i rt ,1 1 Y 1% 1 ' ' Il iiiii bb ' ■iaSAMBIIIBSifSii ifer.--;; . .■ vi : ? ; : : - ' ------ ■ The College Building also to create the faculty — both, be it said, o«t of very raw material. No doubt the venerable educator had been much and often pained by the rawness of his young assistants. To improve them in general scholarship, he arranged that each should teach as great a variety of branches as pos- sible — thus compelling self-improvement. Then, also, he contrived to give them an hour of his time after school on some high school study. It was thus that they got for instance, an elementary knowledge of the modern languages. By the time school was ready to open in the fall of 1884, the board had leased about three-fourths of the floor space of the Z. C. M. I. warehouse, near the depot, and partitioned off into rooms suitable to the wants of the school. This building like the Lewis Block, had proved to be a premature business venture; and so again the school found at hand a home fitted to its needs, with but little outlay of means. These quarters proved really more commodious than those in the first building had been; which fact accounts for the school remaining housed there for the next seven years and a half. To thousands of students now beset by the hard realities of life, the old warehouse will ever be associated with the dearest memories of youth; proving thereby that the power of a school in shaping character does not depend upon elaborate buildings, nor ornate fur- nishings, but rather upon the spiritual and intellectual atmosphere within its walls. To put it in the language of President Garfield in a tribute to the power of his own beloved teacher: Dr. Hopkins and a fallen log in the woods would, at any time or place, constitute a great university. As the years wore on. Dr. Maeser ' s system of Education was justified by such splendid results, that seminaries and stake academies were established everywhere throughout Zion, and he was himself chosen as General Superintendant of Church Schools; a position he held from the year 1890 until his death. Prof. Benj. Cluff succeeded him as president of the institution, the change occurring on the removal of the school to the new building, [12] Janwary 4, 1892. Under his able generalship, the school took tremendous strides forward. Without losing the spirit so characteristic of Dr. Maeser ' s management, it became at once a modern school, and in touch with the best colleges east and west. The new building now known as the High School building, dates its beginning from the year of the fire. Such was the feeling of sympathy for the institution, that $2000 were taken in as subscriptions within a few days after the greatest loss — enough to buy the ground and lay the foundations. Here the work halted for six years. To President Cluff belongs the honor of renewing the agitation for its completion, and to President A. O. Smoot for furnishing the means. Not one man in ten thousand would have mortgaged his home and personal property, as he did, to borrow money for such a purpose; and even though the Church, a year or two afterwards, assumed the indebtedness, this fine building, the first real home of the institution, — since it was the first shaped to its needs, — stands today a monument to the man who did more than the Founder himself, in the matter of means and self-sacrificing devotion, to make the Brigham Young University possible. The future of the institution was, at this time, very modestly estimated. For instance, in one of his last addresses before the school, President Smoot made the remark that he hoped to see the day when one hundred normal students would be enroll- ed. Before the century closed that number had quadrupled, and there was a like in- crease in other departments. Indeed, the difficulties connected with raising funds to pay for the High School building had hardly been met, when the school clamored for more room. However, the immediate occasion of starting the movement for a new building was the fact that on October 16, 1896, the Board for- mally founded a college department, offer- ing the bachelor ' s degree. Agitation for another building immedi- ately began; and at a banquet the following spring President Cluff strongly urged upon the Board the need of more room. But so [13] The Training Building and Gymnasium ■• ' Wi ' ijiiU-i recent and acute were the memories of fi- nancial difficulties, that it is doubtful whether th- college building would have materialized for a long while, had not a son of the first President of the Board stepped into the financial breach, with the same in- trepidity that his father was wont to manifest. Reed Smoot asked for three months time in which to raise the necessary funds and offered to be personally responsible for the outcome. He proved to be as good as his word. In the main corridor of the building is a marble slab con taining the names of the men and women associated with him in tliis merito rious enterprise. It should be added, that the heating plant and furniture were contributed by the Alumni associa- tion. The building was dedicated for service during commencement week of the school year 1897-98. Credit is due to the Student-body for beginning the agitation which resulted in the next building. Toward the close of the Century the need most distinctly felt was an athletic field and a gymnasium; and the students took hold of the situation with characteristic energy. Not only did they contribute liberally from their own pockets; they organized themselves into com- mittees for soliciting aid throughout the State. Temple hill was the first fruits of their achieve- ment ; but they had also collected a considerable sum toward a gymnasium building. Then came the movement by which the Church Normal Training school was made part of the institution, and with it the need of suitable quarters. The result was the erection of the Training School building and gymnasium combined; most of the funds being contributed by Mr. Jesse Knight and Hon. David Evans. The building was dedicated on February 7, 1902. The foundation fund for the Preparatory building was a gift of $1000 by Miss Emma Lucy Gates, and represented the proceeds of a concert given by her toward the endowment of the Do- [14] The Preparatory Building mestic Science department; The rest of the $13000 needed was donated by the Alpine, Nebo, Utah, Wasatch, and Juab Stakes, in consideration of the fact that a missionary and a Prepara- tory or Sub-high school department should also have quarters here. The building was dedi- cated October 26, 1904. Two other building acquired during the same year, while of little note from an architectural point of view, deserve mention for their usefulness. These are the blacksmith shop, erected at a cost of $2500 and the Cluff store, which was purchased and remodelled to serve as temporary quarters for the Arts and Trades department. The splendid efforts of the Alumni Associati n toward the completion of the Maeser Mem- orial building, are discussed at length elsewhere. One remark by way of concluson may not be inappropriate. The successive steps in the home-making of the Brigham Young University constitute a most typical example of the virile power of faith, when joined by short links with works. In no instance was the end of any new building foreseen from the beginning; but always the one step visible toward that end was taken as soon as it came into view; and this step led to the next until the outcome was assured; illustrating, the providence of God as set forth in that pas- sage by Paul; viz., The just shall live by faith. The Maeser Memorial [15] Church Teachers College and the Professional Training of Teachers HE idea of training teachers professionally for ttieir work is a modern one. It originated in Germany about tfie time of the Reformation. Luther and other educators began advocating the need of professional training, in addition to the ordinary scholastic learning, for the im- portant work of teaching. The idea soon found expression in the establishment of Normal schools where prospective teachers were taught not only what they were to teach but also how to teach it. In America this idea is not much over a century old. It began to be advocated here shortly after the American Revolution, and in the early part of last century it found concrete expression in the es- tablishment of private normal schools. When private adventure had proved the value of these institutions they began to be estab- lished by pubhc school systems of State and city. The idea of pro- fessional training given in Normal schools has proved its value; now practically all states and large cities thus train the teachers of the elementary schools. With the rapid multiplication of high schools in the United States in the latter part of the last century a new movement in the profes- sional training of teachers began. A great need of properly trained secondary or high school teachers was felt. To meet this need, college departments of education were established. The first of these was opened in the University of Michigan in 1879. Others followed in rapid succession. At the present time there are few if any colleges of prominence that have not added this new department. These college departments are of two kinds. Some give the professional studies of educa- tion and psychology in theory only, while others have connected with them elementary and secondary schools in which prospective teachers may receive actual practice in teaching under [17] expert supervision. As in the case of the Normal school these college departments of educa- tion have proved their value and they have come to stay. They are supplying professionally trained men and women for the higher and more remunerative educational positions through- out the land. t-. tt- tt t. c In conformity with this national tendency the Brigham Young University has a protes- sional department. It has maintained, practically from its beginning, a normal school that has sent out hundreds of teachers professionally trained and imbued with the proper spirit of edu- cation. . , Recently there has been a very rapid growth of high schools in our Western communities. For teaching in these, and for the superintendencies and supervisorships in our growing city systems, the graduates of normal schools have not had adequate preparation. Hence the scarcity of teachers for these better positions is greatest. To meet this need and to prepare bright young men and women for these best positions in our schools the Teachers ' College has been established as a department of the Brigham Young University. The college offers four years of work in the usual arts and sciences to give the necessarily higher scholarship required for teaching in high schools. It offers courses also in psychology and education to give pros- pective teachers a professional attitude to their future work. It has connected with it an ele- mentary school and a high school in which the educative practices may be observed and edu- cational problems solved scientifically. Practical training in teaching in both elementary and high school classes will be given to college students in these schools under experienced teachers. The Teachers ' College has a bright future. History of educational progress demonstrates the fact that it has an assured field of permanent usefulness. It will draw its students from and help to supply teachers for the high schools just now so numerously springing up around us. As a department of the University it will share the support of a large and patriotic Alumni Association and it will partake of the good spirit so characteristic of the parent institution. It will soon move to its permanent location on the beautiful Temple Hill. There it will occupy as the first home of its future the Maeser Memorial Building, now nearing completion. Other buildings on the spacious campus are soon to follow. Best of all it has the support of the Church, rapidly growing and enthusiastic for a proper education. It is the official school of the Church for the preparation of teachers for the higher positions. Under these and other favoring circumstances the Teachers ' College looks forward to a bright future. With such support it hopes to meet the anticipations of its founders and justify its establishment. [18] PRESIDENT G. H.

His path has not been an easy one; has not been one strewn with Roses. He has evolved from a very erode rose to a primrose. Has won all honors conferred by the Student Body, and has ron for, or filled practically every office of that organization. Will be with us next year as Basket-ball coach WM. J. SNOW, A. B. History and Social Science. Graduated from Normal department in 1905 and has since been principal of Uintah Stake Academy. He got married once and as a consequence has a family. Graduates with honors and remains with us as a teacher. [50] ' fHf j • ' . i ELMER MILLER, A. B. Biology. Looks young but is older and wiser than he looks. Became an honor man in debate this year. All winter he has been manipulating in the biology lab with pigs, chickens, cats, etc., so has great wisdom of the anatomy of his distant relatives. Isn ' t married but would like to be. Is prepared to make a living for two or three — as the case might be. SAMUEL W. WILLIAMS Psychology. Psychologically, biologically, and philosophically, it is about time that Williams be graduated. Don ' t know from where, how, or when he came, but he ' s been here digging into things and as a result digs out this year. Williams has done good work and leaves a strong man. He ' s married. [51] MAETIN LARSEN, A. B. History and Social Science. Larson has done good and earnest work and leaves well prepared to continue his work in any college. He very seldom grows radical and is always optimistic claiming with Jordan that this would be a fine place in which to live were it not for the people. Thinks the girls are too good for him and so isn ' t married. Is des- tined to be a great social reformer. IRVIN JACOBS, A. B. Chemistry. Irvin is small but O, my! ' , there ' s something to him. In both track athletics and basket-ball he ' s a whirlwind honor man. With much special training from Ma(w) he is thoroughly prepared to leave the school as a bachelor. [r,2i Sr orT Juniors Adieu to the Seniors You are leaving us, Seniors, to enter the fight Of the cold, cruel world, like the crew Which, perchance, is to sail, or to drift, starve, and die — But to pay our respects ' tis at best you ' re a-do. Have you watched our example these three years in vain? Don ' t you wish you could do like the few; Like the Juniors — the men who make things come their way But alas! ' tis too late, you ' ve been all — well — a-do. Don ' t you feel, when you think of the bluffs you have run; Of the times you have flunked, of exams you ' ve shd through; Of the classes you ' ve sluffed, of the rules you have bent — Don ' t you feel that you ' ve been but a big— yes— a-do? Do you think you can play that same trick on the world? You may bluff two or three, you may fool just a few. But to stay on the top, you must get in and bone You can ' t be all hot air, all a sham, all — a-do. Remember the Juniors that goaded you on. Aim high at the standards, they raise to your view; Just follow the foot-steps they leave on their way. Do this and your life will be more than — a-do.

L£ [63] Sophomore Class FTER many hard and severe battles the Class of 19 1 2 has finally risen to one of great dignity. More famous students belong to this class than to any other. The Class contains a quartette of school-wide fame; a debating team of high standing; a track team that never ran; a wrestling team that never wrestled; a basket ball team lacking one man; a baseball team lacking five men; mem- bers with profound wisdom, philosophers of deep thought, orators of eloquence; men who are married, others who would like to be, some who couldn ' t be, and others who shouldn ' t be; some who are witty, some who are pretty (think they are), some who are sports, others who are flirts; some who are Student -body officers, and all are class officers for its membership is only four. [C6] Ray Munson H. L. Reld Thatcher C. Jones Bernard S. Eggertsen The Freshies ERHAPS the most notorious class that ever entered the college. At least sixty per cent, of its members are new-comers in the school and have not, therefore, had the advantages of President Brimhall ' s distinction between FAME and NOTORIETY. They, however, like the little boy making his first stick- whistle, give great promise of being heard from in the future. Three out of the four stalwarts comprising the executive committee, were imported from Mexico especially for the positions, and the fourth was haled, after some difficulty, from Spanish Fork. Spanish language is used exclusively in executive meetings — none of which meetings, by the way, have yet been held. It was the first intention to place the Bunch of Sweet Daisies on a page opposite from the Bachelor Butt-ins ( Butt-ons under the picture is a misprint), but the latter objected to being placed, even in a picture, in such a position of want to but can ' t. Due to this objection and one registered by other classmen that the Fresh-Butters had no business goping at their Blossoms, it was decided that in the interests of peace, the Bunch of Sweet Daisies should be transplanted to an other place.

Academy Avenue HIGH SCHOOL The Fourth Year High School Class HE High School class of I9I0 includes students not only of the High School, but also of the Normal, the Commercial, the Arts and Trades, the Agricultural and the Music departments. The entrance registration in 1906 showed an enrollment of 470 students. Tho most of this vast number revealed symptoms of ruralness, they took hold of their school work with great determination, and soon began to show signs of college hfe. Through the efforts of some of their number, a class organization was formed, with Preston McGuire, president. Soon after this, however, Mr. McGuire had to leave school and Milton H. Sevey was chosen to succeed him. The class also organized a debating society, a basket-ball team, and a track team. As is usually the case the number had decreased somewhat the second year and many new faces were seen placed in place of the old ones. Being well initiated in class affairs, they lost no time in organizing: Levy was re-elected pres- ident. The class remodeled its constitution, adopted as it ' s motto Work and Wait, selected as class colors Moss-green and Garnet, and chose the carnation as its emblem. The third year proved a successful year for the H. S. lO ' s. Two year ' s training brought results. One of the Kirkham medals for debating and both oratorical medals were won by members of the class. Besides winning the inter-class championship in basket-ball, the class furnished six men on the University baseball nine, and four men on the track team. The present year has been a banner year for them. There are about 140 members in the class. This year Percy Craven was elected president with Oliver T. Steed as first vice-president and Annie Taylor as second vice-president. The class this year has furnished one of our inter-coUegiate debators. It was again success- ful in winning the inter-class championship in basket-ball. It has a dramatic club and an abund- ance of literary talent. They have made good in school and will do themselves justice in the battle of life. 178] FOURTH YEAR HIGH SCHOOL FOURTH YEAR HIGh SCHOOL FOURTH YEAR ROLL CALL Ernest Knight Milton Fletcher L.

[84] FOURTH YEAR NORMALS FOURTH YEAR NORMALS Mliwrfi BTrtW- FODRTH YEAR KINDERGARTEN NORMALS The Third Year High School Class N the fall of 1907 a very large and entliusiastic class entered the B. Y. U. They little thought at that time that they would evolve into the present Third Year High School class. As a class they began even this first year to show considerable assistlrpic and determination in athletics entering basket ball, base bal and track. In their second year they seemed to be in earnest in all their undertakings. They made a creditable showing in basket-ball and track and were able to land second place in baseball. This year they began by putting a very strong basket ball team into the class series. The series was a hot contest between the I O ' s and 1 1 ' s and was finally won by the former. In all kinds of athletics the class has been well represented and backed by good spirit and class patriotism. In other activities the class has been equally progressive and is in every way an up-to-date and energetic class organization. [881 '  ■•« ' ? %  .1 THIRD YEAR HIGH SCHOOL The Second Year High School Class A stalwart race by harmony thus bound We laid opposing barriers to the ground; They, in derision, scorn despairing throes. Pluck diadems of victory from their foes. HIS is the way in which the I2 ' s H. S. see themselves. And, in looking back over their class history one will see that they have some grounds for this rather ego- tistic attitude. Immediately upon entering school they showed their aggressiveness by drag- ging the U ' s H. S. through the mill-race. Ever since then they have been up to their tricks (especially with those unfortunate foes) by taking the first inter- class baseball series in which they competed, the Founder ' s Day track meet of last fall, and inter-class wrestling Championships this year. Ever since entering school they have proved themselves to be as they say; the stalwart class who pluck diadems of victory from their foes. They are the kind who with enough time and patient training will make good college guys. [90] SECOND YEAR HIGH SCBOOL mg not The First Year High School Class LTHOUGH it is not nice to tell a compliment on one ' s self, we cannot refrain from telling you that it has been said by reliable teachers that we are the banner First Year class. We are prood of belonging to the ranks of the B. Y. U. No doubt you are proud to have us here and we intend to keep you so. We are a very quiet class but are working, nevertheless. Still water runs deep you know. Our victories in the past have been few, we have not made much pomp or show, but are lay- strong foundations and are gaining ground for what we intend to do in the future. We are afraid of hard lessons and Have come to work; to live, to do. Each day our aim is higher and our determination to reach it is stronger. Success will come at last we know To every one who tries. In time when we in wisdom grow We ' ll all be College Guys. [92] FIRST YEAR HIGH SCHOOL The Sub-High School NE of the most unique departments of our school is the Preparatory or Sub-high school department. It was established about ten years ago for the purpose of giving to those who have not finished the elementary work a chance to do so. The desire of the school to do as much good as possible has extended to this de- partment and, although some have ridiculed the idea, we should remember that after all a school is no greater than the good it does. The sub-high school is cer- tainly doing much good. Most of the students in the department have been very much beyond the age of grade work and have been under many disadvantages, but the fact that they came here under these condi- tions shows their courage and determination. Such determination as was shown by Lincoln and Garfield is shown here by these men who stop in race of life to do a boy ' s work. They need to be complimented. Under the direction of Mr. W. H. Boyle, the school is doing good earnest work and is a source of much good. [94] SUB-HIGH SCHOOL The Missionary Class T HIS august body is said to have been the wildest and woolliest bunch of evan- ■ gelistic possibilities that ever entered the Divinity School. So long as they remember the metamorphosis by which they came to their present state of semi- domestication they can conscientiously declare to the world that the day of Miracles is not past. If they fail to soften the hardened sinner with their exhortations they can fetch him with their music (?), for many a time and oft has their sympa- thetic strains of I Need Thee Every Hour, brought tears from the innocent Domestic Science girls on the floor above. Until they become somewhat acquainted with the ways of the world, we would advise them to heed carefully the ancient admonition and leave their purse at home for fear of pick-pockets, and to take no script that they be not tempted by gold bricks and auction sales; neither two coats lest the spirit of gathering come upon them prematurely and they soak one of them for a pass to Zion. [!)H] THE GOOD BOYS !•) V c R pn s K, . M r. BUILDING ROAD TO CAMPUS BKtrSH ROOTERS Student Body Activities HE student body can look with complacency upon the work that has been accomplished so far this year. Its policies have been inaugurated for the present and future welfare of the organization. The student body has aimed to carry on the general activities of the college, to compete with other schools, and work out the local problems which have confronted it. There are many things which are confronting the student body at present which it has never had to meet before. These must be met if we keep pace with other colleges. Our present activities must also be enlarged and intensified. We must do bigger things in a better way. There are some prerequisites to the accomplishment of these things which place limita- tions upon our student body activities. Our system of finance is upon a very poor basis. Basket-ball and Track are the only activi- ties which pay for themselves. Other activities must be maintained from these sources. For this reason the organization has been in debt for the last five years. Improvement is certainly needed here. For the first time we are publishing a weekly paper which has been very successful consid- ering the experiment, and the fact that we have so few activities and a limited amount of news. Our present system of honor giving is probably the most elaborate in the State. We give honors for every activity (all intercollegiate athletics and debating) in the school. This is new with us and of course is being enlarged each year and modified so that the official letter is harder to get and means more. We have on the east mountain probably the largest letter in the world. This year the student body made it into a block letter to conform with the official Y. In athletics and debating the school has never been stronger. Every thing has brought us honor. It has been our banner year in Basket-ball and Debating. In our intercollegiate Basket ball we won every game and in our Debating we defeated the U. of U. and the U. A. C. In answering what have we done, we might ask what hav ' nt we done? Perhaps no year has brought more laurels to the school than the present one. Thus far this year we have been able to win everything and our track team promises to be no exception. In our domestic affairs peace and prosperity has prevailed and our dear White and Blue waves on high more proudly than ever before. [101] C. H. CARROLL, 1st Vice Pres.

Indeed, they remind one of the Irishman who, being told to grease a wagon, returned sometime afterwards, with the information that he had greased all of the wagon except them sticks the wheels hangs on. Some debators present all points except them the decision hatigs on, and loose out. This year our debators were men who applied the dope to the right spot, and consequently nothing could stand before them. Men Who Have Won Their Y ' s in Debate: J. W. Robinson Henry Rose A. T.

U. been represented by a stronger aggregation of athletes than that which has fought our battles this year. Our remarkable growth of the last two years has brought us the respect and apparently the fear of some of our opponents. The State Track Meet of 1909 and our clear sweep in Basket-ball this year have been eye-openers. But why, you will ask has the B. Y. U. team come to the front so suddenly? Is it through exceptional coaching, or through a sudden influx of atliletes? Neither. We have made no wholesale drain on the High Schools for ready- made athletes, nor have we developed them, through special coaching, with mushroom rapidity. It is a slow process — of past training. An athlete cannot reach the point of his greatest efficiency in one or two years of training. Not until three or four years of earnest drilling do the full benefits of this training begin to be realized. To use afigure, years are required for the growth and budding of a tree before the fruit appears. In this fact will be seen the great difficulty of our past athletics. With a team of High School class, few of them reaching even the fourth year, we have been competing collegemen who, outside of training in the local High Schools, have received from three to four years of college drill. The fruits of their first years of training have been fully realized while the great majority of our ath- letes have left school before this point was reached, branded as scrubs, greatly to the injustice of themselves and the University. Chief among the reasons, then, for our present athletic strength is the fact that a few of our men have been in athletic work long enough to reach that point where their earlier years of drill- ing have begun to bring results. Our institution has never before been represented by a stronger, sounder, aggregation of athletes, and our prospects for the future were never brighter. Our star of victory has risen, in athletics as in all other phases of college activity and, in the face of conditions, must ever con- tinue to rise. The four-year rule, with which we are most heartily in favor, if properly adopted, will work a slight hardship for a while; but ultimately it will be a splendid thing for us, as with all colleges. Our possibilities are great. Other institutions have their geographical limits; we have no bounds. So long as church schools are established in all parts of the country, so long will our atlhetic teams be strengthened by them. We may well be optimistic as to our future in athletics.

U.), and cheers from 2500 throats urging on their efforts, the athletes of the four big schools of Utah performed on the Agricultural College field to-day in the annual intercollegiate annual track [113] and field championships. Five new records and stellar performances in all events marked the competitors as the classiest bunch of athletes ever gathered on a cinder path. The surprise of the day was the hard fight given the team of the State university by the B. Y. U., of Provo, which with eight first places well established its claims to individual stars. The relay race was the most exciting race of the day, Baird winning for the B. Y. U., with runners of the other teams bunched up within ten feet when the tape was broken. — Salt Lake Herald, May 16, 1909. Out of five new records Provo made three. Of the fifteen first-place medals Provo took eleven, the U. of U. took three, and the B. Y. C. took one. The biggest point winner on the field was Baird of the B. Y.

He has for the past two years, been the invincible in the middle distance races of our state, last year cutting the records in both the 440 and the 880 yard runs. He will no doubt place them lower this year. Speaking of record breakers: Chamberlain, B. Y. U., 440-yard dash, 52 1-5 seconds, breaking record of Rideout, U. of U., made in 1903, of 52 2-5 seconds; Chamberlain, B. Y. U., 880-yard run, 2:03 1-5, breaking record of Hume, U. of U., 2:04 3-5, made in 1905. — Salt Lake Herald, May 15, 1909. [117] BAIRD Baird has always been a star, not only last year but ever since he began his athletic career in our school in 1906. In the dual meet with the U. of U. last year the Provo Star was Baird. He won the broad and high jumps and second in the two-twenty, scoring 13 points. — Herald, May 8, 1909. In the State meet last year Baird was the star of the day being the highest point winner, capturing 14 1-2 points to his closest opponent ' s 13. In the Stanford meet Baird was the star of the Provo team, winning the high and broad jumps and the two-twenty. — Herald, May 27, 1909. He also took second in the hundred-yard dash, making him, with 18 points, the highest point winner of the day. [hsi HOLDAWAY For the past two years Holdaway has been o«r strong hold in the mile (but he ' s married now) and has won the respect of all distance runners of the State. His earnest, patient training has brought results. Holdaway of Provo pulled out of the field (the mile run) with a strong finish and won in the good time of 4:50. At State meet. —Herald, May 27, 1909. JONES Jones is another of the men who helped in snatching the relay race fiom the U team in the State meet last year. He ran an ex- cellent race, taking up most of the lead given the U. A. C. team by their first man. White- head. He won his rep as an athlete in the State meet of 1908 by taking the quarter mile. [119] ■J CROSBY PETERSON Crosby is another living example of what patient systematic training will do for a man in athletics. In the State meet of last spring he ran the third change of the relay race, giving Baird the lead which helped run for Provo. It was the race of his life and he did credit to himself and the school. Won first place in shot pat at State meet in 1907, and first in hammer throw at State meets of 1908 and 1909. Won hammer throw from Crawford in Stanford meet with 138 feet 2 inches. Barred from State meet this year by the five-year rule. [120] Epperson Another of the first place runners of the State meet of last year is Epperson, who helped carry off the relay race. We haven ' t got his face but he ' s as good looking as he runs fast. Is married, and has always been one of our stars in baseball. Simmons All year we ' ve tried to get his picture, but have failed. But that doesn ' t detract from his athletic ability. Lee, in the State meet last spring, was perhaps, the surprise of the day by not only capturing first place in the hurdles, but by lowering the State record. He himself was, most of all, surprised. — Simmons, B. Y. U., 220-yard hurdles, 26 1-5 seconds, breaking record of Butler, U. of U., 26 4-5, made in 1905 — Herald, May 15, 1909.

Y9LI-BUNCH The Basket-Bali Season of 1909-1910 S will be seen by the results of the Inter-coUegiate schedule our basket-ball season this year was marked by the greatest success. During the Inter-coUegiate games the boys were in good condition and played real basket-ball. At the close of the second game with the U aggregation, in which they were completely outclassed, the score being 31 to 17, Coach Maddock of Utah said to a representative of the Salt Lake Tribune, (February 12, 191 0): The B. Y. U. basket-ball team is in my opinion the strongest team in the United States. They have the skill and the strength, and their long experience at the game won for them. They deserve the victory. Coach Bennion said: Our team won the game because they are better men. I saw the United States Inter-coIIegiate championship game between the University of Pennsylvania and Chicago, played in 1905, and their playing was in no way as good as the game played to-night.

[129] OntKetiuin As the won the summary shows, victory on merit.- U. of U. vs. B. Y. U. at Salt Lake City In the most exciting contest of the inter-collegiate basket- ball series thus far seen, the B. Y. U. of Provo defeated the U. of U., Saturday afternoon by a score of 31-27 at the Utah gym. From the call of time at the beginning of the first half until the timer called the l ast second of play, the contest belonged to either team. At every attempt at the basket from a foul, and every time the ball went through the air toward the basket, the hearts of hundreds of suppor- ters of both schools were flutter- ing. When the final call of time was made, the air was rent with the cheers of the suppor- ters of the Provo team. The B. Y. U. had won a great game, scored by far the greater number of field goals [13 to 7] and Rr t H f . BVL U ' U ( UiJ lu Ihcin THE SALT LAKE TRIP Provo -Herald-Republican, Feb, 6, I9I0, B. Y. U. vs. U. of U. AT PROVO We need only refer to the quo- tations of the two coaches on page 126 to give you the impression made by this great game. [130] THE SCORE AT PROVO THE TEAM Cham, our left forward, like his honorable colleague, has proved himself to be a basket- ball phenomenon. He has generally come out on top as the star basket-thrower at the end of the basket-ball seasons when the total of the year ' s baskets is considered. Cham has always been with basket-ball, as with the girls, very quiet and unassuming, but when it comes to the test he ' s there with the goods. Unlike Rose, he wasn ' t married young, but in spite of the fact seems to be just as prosper- ous. CHAMBERLAIN [1311 Oor veteran in the basket ball as in every- thing else. Has made a remarkable record as a basket-tosser, and has been looked upon with wonder from the side-lines, bot the oppo- nents who have guarded him have had no time to wonder. Rose was married early in life which rather blighted his basket-ball career. Had it not been for this fact, there would not have been room in this book for his eulogies. BOSS ' Mnry ' reSfmiJ up rDrfficHJ ' ume [132] It ' s a long way from the top of Homer ' s head to the soles of his feet but there ' s some- thing worth while between them. He ' s re- markably active (and graceful) on the floor for a man of his size and architecture, which according to the Herald-Republican, is of the ancient Greek style. Several times he has been chosen as the All-State Star as a center. He has the failing though, of getting both arms around. HOMER H0)1)FRT«KES ELOCUTION [133] Jack is the other man who has kept the other fellow from throwing baskets, and be- sides this he has always managed to slip in two or three baskets over him. This year he did the four stunt too, in a manner which showed him to be experienced in that line. He has, of course, been between two fires — Preston and Richfield getting roasted on both sides. Jack has done good work as a guard. JACK [134] In the short time he has been with us, Ted has made a remarkable rep. as a guard in basket-ball as well as a student, a queener, and, recently, as a teacher. He ' s the only man in our team that can wear out a pair of shoes in one game, which can readily be understood by those who have seen his jumps. Talk about the kangaroo! Ted has been elected captain of the team for next year. JONES [135] JAKE Jacobs Twin sister of Lee in size, speed, and good looks. Beats his man by running him down. He is a very speedy nippy player. Graduates this year so will not be with us again. Greenwood Although Greenwood has been but a sub this year he has proved himself to be one of the best guards of the State. He covers his man every moment, and let him once get hold of the ball and it ' s there to stay. Will be a strong man for next year. Simmons In basket-ball as in track We tried for his face but met with a sack. Lee, however, is just as speedy and clever on the bas- ket-ball floor as he is going over the hurdles. In Lee we have another strong man for the next year ' s team. GREENWOOD [13C1 The Second Team ON ' T let the name by which this aggregation is known, lead you to look upon them as a second class team. It simply means that we have too many first-class men to play in one team and consequently, from the very nature of things, a segrega- tion had to be made. While the main team has them skinned in size and experience, yet in nippy passing and speed, they might take lessons from their little brothers. Some of the hardest struggles of our Veteran Five have been with a picked second team, and one need only to have seen how mercilessly they dealt with the the L. D. S. first team (47—12 in our favor) to get an appreciation of the quality of the practice thus given the State Champions. In fact our little team has always made the big boys get in and stir the air, and it is to them largely that we owe our success in basket-ball. [137J I l P Rv v M« -.— .|p ■ 1 JB ' . ' ■ , ' H THE SECOND TEAM INTERCLASS CHAMPIONS lO ' s H. S, Higgs on Our Athletic Situation, March 29, 1910 I ' LL tell yoo our athletics is dying; right now it is dying because we can ' t lift the • load that is hanging over us in Salt Lake City. I was talking to brother Osmond. I said: ' By George, you ought to do something; either tell the students that you are not going to meet or else get in and try to make those fellows tread water. Now go and tell that Secretary you want to see those minutes, and see how they compare with the Articles of Agreement that we have here. It does not agree with our papers. Now then, we want to either go up and lick them for insult- ing us or go and see those minutes. ( But , it was suggested, we haven ' t freedom of the press as they have. ) Well, damn the newspapers. I had a brush with that newspaper reporter. I told him, You won ' t give us a square deal, ' and he took it up. I says, ' Do you know how I feel about it? ' I said, ' I feel just like I would lick him. ' ' Well, ' he said, ' what if it were me. ' ' If it was you, then I think I would try it. ' He said, ' I certainly admire your courage, anyway. ' Caught by McMurrin, March 29, ' 10. I remember once when we went up there (to the U. of U.) they tried their monkey busi- ness on us, and they were going to make us do as they said or else they would not do anything. We gave them a licking. There was one fellow who stood back and was going to hit Prof. Nelson, and Nelson said: ' Don ' t you do it, don ' t you do it. ' You ought to have had one red-headed man there to represent Hans. You know, he would like to get out of the honor of that calling, but he cannot do it ; that ' s part of it. It is becoming a dignified position for it is sought for by men of learning. Higgs, caught by McMurrin, March 29, ' 10. ri40] BASE BALL THIS year has, in a sense, been a sad year for all forms of athletics, due to the continual rang- ling on eligibility initiated by certain individuals in the state being afraid of defeat and con- sequently trying to sneak out of it. And speaking of sad times, baseball, of all the sports has experienced the saddest. Besides outside difficulties which finally resulted in the with- drawal of our team from the State league, it has, ever since its initiation into the school as a col- lege, sport met with the opposition of many of our own students. Now as we are going to have two coaches base-ball will be a good sport for us and if entered at all should be pushed right to the front. Base-ball in our school has a much brighter future than it formerly has had.

U. wrestlers, considering the fact that it was the first out- side competition, was of a high order. The Provo boys were all aggressive and in good condition and with the experience and instruction of another year will be hard to beat in their classes. — Herald-Republican, March 25, 19 10. Such was the opinion of those who witnessed the State Amateur Wrestling Tournament at Salt Lake City, March 24th. Our boys did excellent work, sur- prising all — themselves, perhaps, more than anybody else. Provo has, of course, been little heard of in the past, in this phase of athletics, and nothing was expected from her. The results show clearly, however, that scientific training alone is not enough to make a wrestler. The science must be applied to the right kind of stuff, and where could better stuff be found than in our husky farmer lads? They have the strength, endur- ance and determination, and that is what counts, in amateur wrestling. The B. Y. U. has unbounded possibilities in this manly sport, with the abundance of first- class material from which to choose a team, and she may be expected to be heard from in the future tournaments. On representation consisted of six men — the entries numbered close to fifty; yet, out of six championships and six second places, our men carried off one championship and two se cond places ,and that against men who have not only held titles in other states, but have been in train- ing under the crack Yokel. The men winning honors were: Ogden, State Championship, 125 pound class; Lambert, second place in the same class; and Miller, second place in the 145 pound class. The other men, although not winning medals did work of which we may be proud of. [145] INTER-CLASS CHAMPIONS 12 ' s H. S GIRLS GYM CLUB OFFICERS The Girl ' s Gym Club The Girl ' s Gym Club is an organization of all the girls taking gym work. The club has been up and doing this year. Besides giving several choice matinees, in which new dances were introduced, they have given us some exhibition work in the form of cross-country runs, etc. [147] The White and Blue I HIS is a two-faced world. Every thing has its two sides. We need to go no farther than to this book, and its contents, for abundant proof of the fact. The book, as a whole, has its two sides; the faculty as contrasted on pages 00 and 00 present different appearances; debating and athletics are made possible only by this two-sided nature of things; and so it is from one side of the world to another. Now the White and Blue, although an exceptional paper, is no exception to this general rule. It, too, has its front side, the bright side, — the side presented to the public, and its — ' ' other side, the side which the students are not permitted to see, the side upon which the Editor sits all alone, the tiresome side. We are ever advised to present a bold front whatever be the condition of the other side. This the White and Blue has been doing all year, so we shall try to present a view of this other side, the side which has caused our Editor and his staff so much pain. Come with me to the White and Blue office at any time and see him (the Editor) crouched over his desk, spending three-fourths of his energy concentrating his attention, amid the din and clamor of those Banyan workers in one corner; Thatcher Jones and his gang fixing up basket- ball tickets in another; President Rose grumbling at the noise; Homer, Jack, Cham, and the rest of them, talking about the girls; B. T. Higgs railing on athletics, debating, faculty policy, etc.; and about six loafers hammering at the doors, — see this and you get the picture. But in what, you say, is he so absorbed? Come closer. Note how the headlines and ads. are arranged in his dummy, and how, with all his soul, he is stretching the abundant (?) supply of material, received from the generous students, to fill up the intervening space. Note the heart-rendering tragedies and side-splitting comedies that need re-touching, re- writing or Some times (!) throwing away; read a few of the jokes over which he must strain his eves to see the points, or exert his imagination to create some; hear the sad story of delayed etchings and half- tones, etc., and of broken down printing presses; then listen to the clamor of anxious students, on Fridays, for the White and Blue, and you may get some idea of the condition of the other side of this White and Blue proposition, — you may have some sympathy with the fellow back of the scenes.

So it was agitated through our friend the White and Blue ' And in the college club room was discussed a time or two. It seemed the only class in school who knew just what to do Was the class of 191 1— The Juniors B. Y. U. After much debating and kicking and delay, The J boosters came out victors upon the final day. When it was to be decided if we have a book or no? And a staff was quickly chosen to try to make it go. At first things went so smoothly with plans of pictures fine, And jokes and poems and writeups to the ex- tent of many a line. The staff thought they would have a snap and not much work to do. Just ask for dope and get it if they ' d wait a day or two. But alas for idle dreamers their dream will ne ' er come true. The dope you wish to pubhsh no other man will do; They waited long and patiently but not much dope came in As a last resort, the time was short, they had to buckle in. And though this book may ' pear to you as nothing but a joke. And the staff a crowd of people who simply made a smoke. Our wish to all who read this book, where ever they may be. Is that they can see this school is the trunk of a banyan tree. [152] THE ONES WHO, WITH THE HELP OF OTHERS, GOT UP THE BANYAN ORATIONS •HE clear conception, outrunning the deductions of logic, the high purpose, the dauntless spirit, speaking on the tongue, beaming from the eye, informing every feature, and urg- ing the whole man onward, right onward, to his object, — this is eloquence, or rather it is something greater and higher than all eloquence — it is action, noble, sublime, godlike action. To develop men of this kind of eloquence has been the aim in the class of oratory or public speaking. To make clear thinkers wth the ability to express heir thoughts has been its task, for, as Carlyle says: God gave you that gifted tongue of yours, and set it between your teeth, to make known your true meaning to us, not to be rattled like a muffin man ' s bell. To this end of bringing out the best that is in them in thought and expression, two medals have been established by enthusiastic citizens of Provo.

Shortly before one o ' clock, September 24th, the train pulled in and the President Taft and his company, amid the cheers of hundreds, dismounted and took seats in the automobiles that were waiting to take them on their short tour through our beautiful city. The city being most appropriately decorated with the national colors, streamers, and pictures of the President, presented a pretty view, and along with the hearty cheers of the spectators, made the President feel how royally welcome he was. The automobiles made their way to Temple Hill and there in the east was a most magnifi- cent sight, a sight which of all was most highly appreciated. High on the mountain side stood in its majesty the gigantic Y crowned with the word TAFT. If we stop to consider that Mr. Taft is a Yale man we can perhaps get some idea of the thoughts brought up by that inspiring sight. He was delighted and earnestly gave vent to his feelings. After congratulating us on our most promising valley, and on our magnificent university site, he was taken to the tabernacle which had long since been packed to its utmost capacity, while hundreds crowded around the building. After a short spirited address, a hearty hand-shake and a kindly farewell, the party was taken to the depot en route for their next destination, and all returned to their work with renewed spirits, having been in the presence of the head of our great nation.

So to call our minds back to the happy day, we need only recall the hustle and bustle of the student getting ready to form in line for the usual march; the band playing and the students cheering; the pennants and flags waving and other characteristic features. Last fall we didn ' t take our annual march through town as has been the custom but directed it toward Temple Hill, where all witnessed the laying of the corner stone by the President of our board, Joseph F. Smith. The day was enjoyed thoroughly by all. [160] VACCINATION DAYS Charge of the Vaccinate Vaccinate, vaccinate! Pass the word onward, Or in the valley of death Go by the hundred. To the rest room, he said. Heeding the call they came Frightened six hundred. Forward the fair brigade, Was there a girl dismayed? Not though the lasses saw Pocket books plundered. There ' s not to make reply There ' s but to do or die, And to the valley of death Go by the hundred. Smallpox to the right of them. Smallpox to the left of them. Rumored and thundered. Pricked by the bright scalpel Receiving the vaccine cell, Or in the jaws of death Into the mouth of hell. Pass by the hundred. Flashed all their shoulders bare, Flashed as they waited there — Facing the doctor ' s chair. Charging a quarter while All the school wondered! Giving the blade a poke Right there the skin he broke. But not a pale-face spoke. Nor turned from the sabre-stroke. Shattered and sundered Each in her turn stepped by. Holding her arm up high, Waiting the stuff to dry. Patient six hundred. Smallpox to right of them, Smallpox to left of them. Smallpox around them. Rumored and thundered, A scratch from the sharp scalpel Guarded and watched so well. How through the jaws of death, Back from the mouth of hell. With many a painful yell Came the six hundred. Who can such courage shake? Oh, the wry face they make E ' en thought the vaccinate Never has thought to take, Noble six hundred. —From White and Blue, Dec. 3, ' 09. [161] THE Y ON THE MOUNTAIN SIDE Y DAY TT HAT the Chinaman is not the only worshipper of the works of the fathers, was ■ proved conclusively on March 1 6, when the student body turned out to ren- ovate the great Y . Aside from the usual whitewashing, it was decided to change the letter into a block Y. This move necessitated an addition of eight thousand square feet of rock — almost one-third of the size of the letter. At 7 :30 A. M. four hundred stalwarts assembled at the foot of the mountain, and proceeded to carry the one hundreds bushel of lime up the steep, half-mile incline to the Y. Arriving here in about one hour, each class took up the task pieviously as- signed by the committee. Forty tub-fulls of water were carried down the slope from the snow- bank; brush was cleared and rocks were laid and whitewashed. At noon it needed no second call to induce the boys to utilize a twenty minute lunch period. After luncheon, the same program was, in general, followed, with the addition .however, of dodging boulders turned loose from the ledges above by a few accomodating sluffers. This latter action was not frought without good results, for it inspired the following effusion: and peaks, we ' re with you once Ye crags again. How far are we above the working men! Great Beelzebub has led us here to shirk. And gaze in scorn upon the fools that work, Give us, oh Crag! a boulder from thy breast, ' ' And we ' ll make it hot as hell for all the rest! Liberally did the crag give, and those Sleep-producing baby-meteors which spun Lustily down thru the crowd caused many, A man to think of his past deeds and of, The folks at home with loving mother. Linnets unceremoniously quit their oriparous- Functions to seek safety in the adjoining canyon. I did not carry rocks because I stuffed, I thot those other guys were easily bluffed. Who thot my hair would lose a single tuft? Who thot that they to me would be so rough? Why, I ' d rather build a Y alone, I say Than have my glossy fore-top cut all away. — Confession of a Sluffer, Finishing the renovation of both the Y and the sluffers, at 3:30 P. M., the boys came down to the University lawn, where the young ladies served a dinner, the very thots of which causes the water to rise so high in your chroniclers ' mouth, as to completely submerge his brains- so-glub! — goodbye-glub! glub!

Following the nomination of candi- dates at the convention of College and Fourth Year students, two political parties organized; the Students ' Party under the leadership of Larsen, and the Boosters ' Party under Mitchell. Immediately things began to happen. Placards, hand-bills, rallies with their attendant red- hot and freezing speeches, bands and music, fist-fights and free-for-alls, spoiling reputations, intimidating and flattering the so-called weaker sex — and the Preps: — these were but a few of the student activities on Election Day and the days immediately preceding. The Students ' Party publicly accused the Booster ' s with swiping certain proposed planks from the former ' s platform. The latter replied by charging their opponents with making vain promises to the High School in exchange for votes. The unfortunate part of these charges was that they were, in the main, true. Another unfortunate thing was that a few of the students took the election seriously, which is a ' ways out of place. The results were satisfactory to the victors, however, so that there ought to be no further kick. [1G51 Junior Day, April 1, 1910 HE first official Junior Day ever granted in the University was celebrated at a fitting time, in a fitting place, and with a fitting girl for each Junior boy. April the first, nineteen hundred ten — by the way, both the year and the day were coined especially for the class of n , because if you add the digits of 1 910 the sum is 11, and if you think of yourself (Number One) you immedi- ately revert to a fool, which in turn, reminds you of April Fool ' s Day, the date of which is One. Now put the two Ones together and you have an n. Q. E. D. In fact, every condition of the day was moulded, by the Class, unto an U ' — There were ' V Juniors who took part in the morning program — causing U x IT ' ty hearty laughs; H (minus two) married Juniors chaperoned nearly two times 11 unmarried 11 s to the lake, where each one ate enough for U, and — well, had a he — 11 of a time generally.

Classes continued until the- ology hour when a rousing program was enjoyed by all present, after which the students marched to Temple Hill, east of the campus where, by the music of the band, they planted about two hundred trees and three hundred shrubs. In the afternoon an athletic contest was pulled off between the College and High School. A dance was given at night. The T Tree Now for a dear symbolic tree Upon this Arbor day. Let hearts be raised in grateful praise And voices sing hurah! Our school was once a sappling tree — God planted it we know. And through the stress of changing years Has willed the tree to grow. Through scorching heat and biting frosts The sapling passed its years? More rugged grew as storm clouds burst More fair ' neath rain-cloud tears. Time ' s hand is pruning well the tree Now grown to monster size — A Y behold! and ' neath its shade A thousand growing Y ' s. God ' s blessing be upon them all, And may the grand old tree With arms outstretched in holy praise A living symbol be. — A jingle by A. Y. itiai Smudge Pot Day ON Thursday, April 1 4th a message was received from our local weather bureau that the tem- perature that night would go below the freezing point and that unless we resort to arti- ficial means of heat the fruit crop would be taken. Provo and the near vicinity was in need of help; why shouldn ' t the school do something. President Brimhall called a mass meeting at 4 o clock to discuss what to do. The agri- cultural teachers told us the condition and that the Commercial Club needed men. Students and Faculty volunteered their services to the farmers and fruit growers to the ex- tent of thre hundred men. If Utah county could have been seen that evening from a cloud the impression would have been that the whole country was on fire. Smudge pots and smudge piles were put to use in practically every orchard. The smoke thus developed proved to be genuine in most cases so that thousands of bushels of fruit were saved. [170] EVERY DAY Some Past Stunts HE Brigham Young University is unique in at least one particular; the kind of student patriotism which is manifested. Not only do the students support athletic and other activities; but from time to time they get out and work for a day upon some improvement. In 1 90 1 the students dug a sewer half mile long, they graveled side walks and planted trees and lawn. A few years ago the athletic field was given to the school. There was no fence and the land was in a very rough condition. In 1904 the student body bought the lumber to build an eight-foot fence and a large grand stand. The work of erection was done by the student body. On the same ground they built one of the best cinder tracks and athletic fields in the West. One of the most enjoyable trips ever made was in the spring of 1906 when the faculty and students went up to the five hundred acre farm and cleared it of sage brush. Such contests as they did have that day! Classes tried to out-do each other in the amount of brush they rooted up. The amount of work can be realized when one thinks of the size of the farm which was all covered with sage brush. Incidentally some sport was had with a few stray Jack-Rabbits. Last year the road to the campus was made straight and of even grade, which was by no means a small job. Very few years in the history of the school have passed in which some work of this kind has not been done. We have been most fortunate in this respect and hope that each year will fur- nish us new opportunities for patriotism. [1721 COLLEGE CLUB FLYING HIGH The College Club HE College Club is the official organization of all College students. The ori- ginal aims for its existence were :( I ) to stimulate interest in debating, and (2) to bring the students together in a social way. On September 25, ' 06, the club was formally organized with Hans C. Peterson president. Shortly afterwards, the club room was opened to College students FOR STUDY PURPOSES. Club meetings were held once in two weeks, at which essentially the following program was carried out: Extemporaneous Speech, Extemporaneous Debate, Prepared Speech, Prepared Debate, Criticism, Business. At these meetings debators were chosen to represent the University in the Inter-coIIegiate debates. In February, ' 07 J. W. Robinson was elected President, and the Club continued to extend its operations — especially along social lines. In the fall of ' 07 the organization paid a debt of honor — and Wm. E. Morgan became Pres- ident. During his tenure of office everything prospered in spite of the world-wide panic. On February 5, ' 08, Miss Nellie Schofield was chosen to stand at the helm. The first official action was to instill new life into the club by giving a dance — the like of which no man hath seen from that day onward. By this time the formal debating societies had increased in influence and power, and as a result, the College Club meetings became mainly social events altho the ordinary class activi- ties were carried on. This system has been followed in general for the last two years. In September ' 08, Henry Rose inherited the Presidential job and the College continued to do things — especially in field athletics. The inter-class meet on Founder ' s Day was won with ease, but while the stalwarts were gazing for more fields to conquer, the third years H. S. took advantage of this momentary abstraction, and ' filched ' the Basket-ball Trophy. Still feeling ' blue ' over this loss, the club elected Sherwin Maeser Chief Condoler. His condolences were of the pushing sort, so after having stripped the fourth years H. S. of any glory — [175] and hair, that coold be found in their possession, the college carried off the inter-class wrestling, and track meets. September, ' 09 found the club in need of a guide, and Curtis T. Larsen was chosen for the position. His reign was one of peace and good will — special impetus being given to social and intellectual activities. In February, 19 10 the burden of controlling these college guys was again changed being placed upon Paul Ashworth, who has proved a Roosevelt in administrative affairs, and the club has prospered.

They are fally organized this year, with Ida Jensen as president and Floy Larsen and Verna Scott as vice-presidents. The number now belonging to the dab is fifty-three, all engaged in kindergarten work. The purpose of the club is to bring the girls closer together. They do this by having their club meetings every two weeks. In these meetings they discuss things of interest going on in the kindergartens of the world, and become ac- quainted with some of the best literature, and receive recreation in the form of kindergarten hops, skips, and jumps. Every girl who joins the club previously resolves that she is willing to give up her brighter prospects and be an old maid. Yet, in a short time, she becomes so developed and gains such perfect control of herself that no one ever suspects that she is a kindergarten girl.

By some it may be said to be lacking in college spirit and, while it might be improved in this respect, it is undoubtedly, by this very fact, much enhanced. The Univer- sity overrun with frats, societies, etc., cannot have that unpretentious, whole- some social intercourse which characterizes our school life. Our social activ- ities have known comparatively little of classes or aristocracies, for there has been a free intermingling of all students. This certainly has its charms which must be lacking where the students separate into their little casts, looking down on those below them and, being looked down upon by those above. During the past year there has been no shortage of social activities; in fact, there have been more than the students get time to attend. Each class has given from one to three socials during the year. The Student Body as a whole has given some most excellent entertainments in the way of socials, athletic spoits, etc., and recently it has been given an hour a week for a rousing pro- gram. Matinees are given once a week and each holiday has its party. An excellent lecture course has been put on this year, and so one can go on and enumerate the activities that have been within the students reach in a social way. The only functions that can justly be assigned to the social activities of the school are recre- ation or enjoyment, and that activity which makes men of action, men of social interests in later life. To these ends our social life has been very adequate and what more could be asked. [190] The Junior Prom. HE particular Junior Prom (a hop or blowout) which this narrative commits to writing held forth in the gymnasium on April Fool ' s day, at night. The occasion was revolutionary. There was no congregating of gents about a charming flirtation frap in despairing effort to cinch the 1 6th dance. All work in advance proved null and void. No one was permitted to engage a partner for more than the next dance. This sometimes resulted in a daring dash for damsels, but worked out satisfactorily on the whole. The refreshments, consisting of ice cream cones, punch and cake, were original in the main and of exceptional quality. The way they held out, too from the grand march to the medley, showed that the refreshment committee had made a special study of human appetite, when the owner indulges in vigorous sport; zum Beispiel, barn dancing. It is at such times as this that all promenade. Even the inflated seniors, without the slight- est embarrassment, are tempted to prick up their ears, kick up their heels, and show other mule characteristics, all the while indulging in heel and toe stunts that would rival Jane at the jubilee. ' K-: ' ' Ai [191] Fri.EvE.nnrR) TichET PSi REFRKHWtMTJ The Y Ball THE grand Y ball given by the Student Body Friday evening, March 1 8th was easily the most successful (except finan- cially) and brilliant social happening that has been carried out in the University Gymnasium building during many years. The pennant effects were the most unique and charming that have been seen at a school dance. In the center of the hall, amid an array of electric globes and suspended by strong cord, was a life sized basket in white and blue colors with its hanging appendage, — a practical basket ball, — remaining, as usual, in caged position about its receptacle. From this very appropriate figure carried to every corner, side, and end of the hall, were strings on which alternated the official pennants of all the larger institutions of America. On the south wall and at the end of the hall under the band stand stood a huge Y in white and blue colors. On each side of the letter emblem, cosily arranged, were refreshment stands, where plenty of the usual ball room delicacies were kept in stock. Add to this the pretty dancing programs that defy description, together with a full orchestra, and you have complete mention of the unique features of the Y ball. Dancing continued until one o ' clock, when all dispersed, cheer- fully expressing themselves as having had a most enjoyable time.

From a very humble beginning, when Dr. Maeser was the whole faculty, it has developed into the best music school in the middle west. Prof. Giles was the first special music teacher the school had. He taught everything in the line of music (and had time to teach the Provo schools too). The most characteristic feature of the growth of this department is the num- ber of special departments it now contains such as; vocal, instrumental, wind instruments, har- mony, violin, band, orchestra. In all there are nine special departments with special teachers in each. The most popular course is the four year music course which gives general culture in addi- tion to special music training. Two years ago a two year ' s course in public school music was put in. The choir has always been a most delightful organization. We especially appreciate the daily music it furnishes at devotional. Under the direction of Prof. Lund the music school has put on an opera each year. Some of the best remembered are the Daughter of the Regiment, Priscilla, Beggar Student, and Princess Ida. This year they put on Maritana. The music school has certainly won much honor and has our best wishes for continued success.

[201] •THE FARMERS Agricultural Department HE common cry of a few years ago was stay on the farm, but we have now reached the stage where we say, not stay on the farm but back to the farm, and if we take this for what it says, not for what some may think it says, we shall come out alright. To go back to the farm, pre-supposes a leaving the farm; and plainly this leaving must be a leaving for school, for what sane farmer lad would leave the farm for any other place! Hence back to the farm is only another way of saying back from school. It is every day becoming plainer that to be a successful tiller of the soil one must first have cultivated his brains . Weedy, unfruitful intellects have caused more failures in farming than have weedy, unfruitful soil. The age of the horse-strength farmer is past. We are fast evolving into the age of the common-horse-sense farmer. The different times of the moon, nowadays, plays but a little part in the production of big-headed cabbages, long-eared corn, bright-eyed potatoes, or strong onions. The best fruits of the successful farmer come from his head. Hence to develop good heads on the boys, to teach them to think and act for themselves, to make them masters, not slaves, of the soil, to teach them TRULY TO LIVE in this the freest, most pleasant and independent life, is the aim of the Agricultural Department. This year it has been most eminently successful. The teachers have been alive and ener- getic in their work and have succeeded in developing a bunch of quite respectable, intelligent- looking farmers, as may be seen on the opposite page. [2(13] CORNER OF AGRICULTURAL EXHIBIT IN B. Y. UNIVERSITY PATCHING UP THE OLD COW A SECTION OF MODERN PROVO Fine Arts The modern majesty consists in work. What a man can do is his greatest ornament, and he always consults his dignity by doing it. — Carlyle. TRUE, what these Arts students can do (and they ' re training to be doers), is their best orna- mentations, for they ' re better than they look. The Department of Fine Arts includes the regular Art Department of brush, pencil and manual training work; the Department of Domestic Science and Domestic Art; carpentry and woodwork, with the more closely related subjects. The aim of the work is to develop men and women who can do things. It trains for practical as well as aesthetic lives — aims to develop the three H ' s — to develop the heart especially. Some of their work is just simply great. Why,, one day B. F. Larson painted a hen so life- like that, when he threw it in the waste basket, it lay there. Stunts equally marvelous are of daily occurrence and, seriously, the department is doing work of which they may well be proud. To conclude, we wish to express our thanks to certain members of the department, especially the Principal, who have given us much help in the art work of The Banyan.

And this patriotism, too, with which they are imbued, is not the kind that wears off immediately upon leaving the influence of the school. It is the kind which creates in every alumnus a living desire to do something in the attempt to repay the institution for what it has done for him. This is the kind of Alumni Association that stands back of our school. They are men who do things — pushers; and one needs only to refer to their past achievements, and the great under- taking of the Maeser Memorial, to see their attitude toward the University and its development. [2141 History of the Maeser Memorial 2) HE first impulse that moved Dr. Maeser ' s students, after the hour of mourning had passed, was an impulse to rear to his memory some worthy memorial. Several ideas were extant as to what that memorial should be. There were those who believed it was his students ' part to mark his last resting place with a monument of marble; yet othets felt that a life-sized statue in bronze should stand at the portal where the B. Y. U. student enters. The greater number, by far, of Dr. Maeser ' s students were imbued with the idea that the only fitting tribute to his memory would be a memorial building, to form one of the groups of buildings of the Brigham Young University. March 1 90 1, Dr. Maeser passed away. One year later, Supt. J. M. Tanner met with a committee called for the purpose of considering a suitable memorial. This committee called a reunion of all Dr. Maeser ' s old students, and an assembly, the like of which was unknown in the history of the Brigham Young Academy, met in Provo, to enjoy the festivities of commencement week. A large number of Dr. Maeser ' s students attended the Alumni Association, at which session a motion was made and carried: That a proper monu- ment or memorial building be erected to the memory of the late Dr. Karl G. Maeser, and that a committee of fifteen be elected by the association for the purpose of considering the character of the monument or memorial building, and that the committee report their findings and sugges- tions to the association at a future meeting. When the committee met it agreed that a building was the most desirable form of memorial, but it found itself confronted with two difficulties. First, the institution possessed no suitable land site for the erection of such a building: secondly, it was believed that the most strenuous effort on the part of the association could result only in the collection of a sum of money far too modest to satisfy the fancy in this matter. For these reasons the plan was abandoned until such time as its realization should seem feasible. Meanwhile the institution had secured a tract of some forty-five acres on Temple Hill. No more beautiful location for a college can be found in the confines of this fair State. To the east, in all their majesty, rise those mountains that challenge the attention of all who behold them. Below stretches the Garden City, and in the distance shimmers the silvery waters of Utah Lake. Before the Alomni meeting of 1907 the call for action coold be heard on every hand. The exercises of that reunion reinforced this feeling. Senator George Sutherland, in words fit and full of feeling, paid high tribute to the character of his beloved teacher, who, he said,had imbued him with the loftiest and noblest ideals of his life. President Brimhall said: Once as I stood talking with Brother Maeser in front of the high school building, he fastened his eyes upon it and said: ' The old man taught in a cabin, but his boys have built a palace and occupy it. ' Then said President Brimhall, it is meet that the children build the memorial to the father, and not fitting that they leave it for the grandchildren to do. There were others who called to mind Dr. Maeser ' s parting address as principal of the Brigham Young Academy, when in tones betraying the deepest feeling, he said: Of the words of the English language the hardest to say is farewell; this you, my dear fellow teachers, and you, my dear students, will not require of me. Stirred to the depths were the souls of those who surrounded the banquet table. That loved name had wrought like magic, and the immediate erection of a building was agreed upon. A committee was chosen to further the project, and in due season the best architects of the State were at work on the plans. The campus was carefully gone over, to the end of selecting the most propitious site for the building. The place agreed upon did not chance to be the property of the school. This matter was made known to the students, who immediately entered into an agreement to sacrifice one dollar of their spending money and thus purchase the point. In less than one hour ' s time one thousand dollars, the price of the property, was raised. Prior to this event the beautiful plan submitted by Ware Treganza had been accepted. On the anniversary of Dr. Maeser ' s birthday, January 16, 1908, the board, faculty, and stud- ent body, accompanied by members of the Alumni Association, and many of their friends march- ed to Temple Hill, where, with renewed and hopeful hearts, they took part in the dedicatory exercises. Renewed impetus was given the movement at the Alumni banquet of 1908. During the year numerous meetings were held for the purpose of raising subscriptions. Very soon the committee saw its way clear to let the contract for the foundation, so that at the Alumni reunion of 1909, President Heber Jex ' s report embraced the fact, that the founda- tion had been put in at a cost of $10,000. He further stated that while this did not quite exhaust the amount at the disposal of the committee, yet if the building should continue in its course of erection, funds must be raised for the superstructure. Truly wonderful was the response that followed. The new subscription list was headed by [216] L. Holbrook with a $6000 donation. Uncle Jesse renewed his gift to $15,000 and four other persons raised subscriptions of $2000 to $5000. There came numerous donations of $1000, $500, $200, $100, $50, $25, and $20. The total reached $53,000. At the Founder ' s day banquet of 1909 this subscription was increased to $60,000. The suggestion made to the students, at holiday time, that they make a small Christmas gift to the Maeser Memorial, spread like a contagion. Two hours were consumed in recording these student gifts, ranging from $1.00 to $50.00, until a total of $3,800 was reached. The fac- ulty increased its subscription about $5,000. At present the total subscription has reached about $82,000. The building when completed will cost $1 10,000, and will be one of the best and most beautiful educational buildings of its size, to be found in the western region. [217] EVOLUTION OF MAESER MEMORIAI. Contribution to the Maeser Memorial AFTER the wonderful donation of the Alomni association toward the Maeser Memorial, it was found that more money must be forthcoming, so the faculty added to the fund about $10,000. It was decided to give the student body an invitation to contribute any amount it felt like. As it was about Christmas time they felt it would be in accordance with the Christmas spirit. Mr Rose, president of the Stude nt Body, made a motion to the effect that the students ' pledge themselves for $1000. This was seconded and contributions soon began. It was soon evident from the spirit that the thousand mark was safe. The spirit of giving was so evident that contributions far exceeded all expectations, amount- ing to about $4000 donated by about six hundred students. The amounts varied from one to twenty-five dollars. From a student body famous for its spirit this is not a surprise, but it is worthy of our com- mendation. [21 i) I ITiel cuitu Solicttb jor The Passing of the Seniors SCENE BOOM 27 B. S. Pres. Brimhall. — The purpose of this meeting is to consider our Seniors and to pass on their respective qualifications as candidates for graduation. We shall judge them according to this classification: (a) loyalty to school, (b) loyalty to their work, (c) loyalty to the Faculty, and (d) loyalty to their country. We ' ll have the candidates enter one by one, and have each man state his cause. (Enter Henry Rose.) Mr. Rose you will please state your qualifications for graduation. Mr. Rose. — To be frank with you I consider it a preponderous absurdity, a monstrous un- scrupuluosity to be thus called before this august assembly to give an account of my illustrious career. Don ' t you know that this school has grown up with me? Need I mention the honors I ' ve won? I could not stir But like a comet I was wondered at; That men would tell their children ' This is he ' . Don ' t you remember the disastrous calamities that accrued when I had the direful misfor- tune of breaking my leg and arm? In brief, I am first and foremost, now and forever, an honor man! Prof. Osmond. — Well, ' tis no matter; honor pricks me on. Yea, but how if honor prick me off when I come on? how then? can honor set to a leg? no; or an arm? no; or take away the grief of a wound? no. Honor has no skill in surgery then? no. What is honor? a word. What is that word honor? air. A trim reckoning. Who hath it? He that died on Wednesday. Doth he feel it? no. Doth he hear it? no. Is it insensible then? yea, to the dead. But will it not live with the living? no. Why? detraction will not suffer it. Therefore I ' ll none of it. Honor is a mere scutcheon; and so ends my catechism. [222] Pres. Brimhall. — Well, Prof. Osmond, We ' ll not question his honor, but we will judge him on his merits. Prof. Barker. — Now, that seems fair enough. Pro. Kirkham. — Pres. Brimhall, let me make a suggestion. Pres. Brimhall — Mr. Rose, you are now excused. (Exit Rose.) We will ask Mr. Rose ' s major professor to report. Prof. Swensen. — Mr. — ah — Rose hasn ' t a good grasp of details, doesn ' t focus his thoughts — eh — but he has a fair understanding of generalities. Howevah, on the whole his intentions — ah — are good and — I — should — recommend that — he — ah be graduated. Dean Peterson. — We can ' t graduate these men on generalities and good intentions. Prof. Nelson. — (After a two-minute pause.) Now really, I ' ve forgotten what I was going to say. Nevertheless, I was struck with the forcibleness of Mr. Rose ' s words, he drives ' em right home and he don ' t hoot. Prof. Osmond.- — Ain ' t ' doesn ' t ' the right verb. Pres. Brimhall. — You gentlemen fight that question out by yourselves. We must proceed with our business. Prof. Barker — Now, that seems fair enough. Prof. Kirkham. — President Brimhall, let me make a suggestion. Pres. Brimhall.— Bring in the next candidate. (Enter Elmer Miller.) Mr. Miller what have you to say for yourself? Mr. Miller. — Pres. Brimhall, in view of the fact I have managed to exist in that Biology lab all winter, and in view of the fact I have been out trapping animals with Dr. Chamberlin, and have taken charge of the lab while the Doctor has played basket ball, and in view of the fact that my thesis contains ninety-seven words more than is required, I think there should be no question about my graduation. Miss Reynolds. — Pres. Brimhall, I wish to say a few words for Mr. Miller. Now Elmer has been in my English classes and I know he is a mighty fine fellow. I coached him privately for the debate and you know with what honors he won it. I recommend that we pass Elmer up without further question. Prof. Kirkham. — Pres. Brimhall, let me make a suggestion. Why not refer it to his major professor? Prof. Barker. — Now that seems fair enough. [223] Pres. Brimhall. — Where is Dr. Chamberlin? Several voices (in concert) — He ' s playing basket ball in the gym. Pres. Brimhall. — Excuse him. Brother Holt. He ' s preparing for the Lehi game. Miss Reynolds. — Well, Pres. Brimhall, Elmer is a nice young man just starting out in life and we ought not to discourage the dear boy. Elmer ' s case is different from the rest of them. He ' ll be a credit to the institution. Prof. Osmond. — To be or not to be, — that is the question; Whether ' tis nobler in the mind — (exit Mr. Miller.) Pres. Brimhall. — Call in the next, (Enter Irvin Jacobs.) Now Mr. Jacobs what have you to say for yourself? Jacobs. — No th - ing, thank you. Prof. Osmond. — I move we have that speech put down in writing. Prof. Lund. — That reminds me of a story. Two colored men, who were very much frightened, took refuge under a tree in a violent thunder shower; Julius, can you pray? said one. No, Sam, was the reply. Nebber prayed in my life. Well, can ' t you sing a hymn? No, Sam can ' t sing nothin. Well, see heah, honey, samfin ' ' ligious ' s got to be done heah mighty sudden. S ' pose you pass round the contribution box? Pres. Brimhall. — We have always found Mr. Jacobs a man of few words but of great deeds. In his line, we need men of action not of words. Prof. Barker. — Now that seems fair enough. Prof. Maw. — If Jacobs understands the thesis he has written he ought to be graduated, for I confess that the formulae are even beyond me. Pres. Brimhall. — Very well. Next. (Enter Martin Larsen.) Mr. Larsen we are now prepared to hear your case. Mr. Larsen. — I can ' t see why my individual, inalienable rights of life, liberty, and the pur- [224] suit of happiness, should be thus encroached upon. It is unconstitutional! In a democratic institution such as this is, a student should be allowed to graduate or not as he pleases. The Faculty has no business to say anything about it, because in this age of social and politieal cor- ruption, they cannot pass on a question with unbiased minds. The giving of a sheep skin is merely a tradition of society, and in no way represents a man ' s attainments. It makes absolutely no difference to me whether you give me my degree or not. Prof. Kirkham. — Now, Mr. Larsen, let me make a suggestion. Mr. Larsen. — In this age of corruption there is absolutely no such thing as justice. Money rules the world. The poorer class has no chance in the courts. I believe in absolute freedom. I ' m opposed to prohibition, and I believe in woman ' s suffrage, providing she isn ' t allowed to vote or to hold office, Pres. Brimhall. — (patting Mr. Larsen on the back) Well, well, Mr. Larsen, we ' ll consider your case. Prof. Barker. — Now that seems fair enough. (exit Mr. Larsen.) Pres. Brimhal . — Brother Snow couldn ' t be here to-day, and therefore cannot speak for himself. However, I think that there is no question about Brother Snow ' s ability. Pres. Keeler. — Brother Snow has a family to keep, and he has been going to school a long time, and has been doing some teaching. Therefore, I think he should have his drgeee. Prof. Barker. — Now that seems fair enough. Pres. Brimhall. — I am sure that that is the sentiment of the Faculty. We will now hear from Mr. Williams. (Enter Williams.) r Mr. Williams. — Pres. Brimhall, I should like to know the purpose of all this. Pres. Brimhall. — The purpose, Mr. Williams, is that you may have the opportunity of giving evidence why you should be graduated. Mr. Williams. — I ' ve been here for several years; I ' ve never failed in a subject; never been conditioned; never been called in the office; have never failed to go on the Y; have never had my hair cut; and I think psychologically, pedagogically, biologically, and theologically it is un- fair for you to question my ability. Logically, its up to you to show why I shouldn ' t graduate. Prof. Barker. — Now that seems fair enough. Prof. Kirkham. — Pres. Brimhall, let me make a — l-THIS WILL NOT BE CONTINUED IN O0R NEXT ) [22m FACULTY Faculty Roll Call Grand High Mogul Brimhall, B. Pd. (Bills Paid (D. Sc. D. (Director Social Develop- ment. Never (?)

THEIR VACATIOAl The Automatic Life X-PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT wrote of the Strenuous Life and at once a multitude of sympathizers made their appearance. Others have suggested the Simple Life, and thousands proceeded to strenu- ously adopt the Simple Life . We wish to call attention to another life which is vastly different from that suggested by either the strenuous or the simpletons? and its champions have not waited even for the pubhcation of this discussion before adopting it. For the lack of a better name we call it the Automatic Life. To illustrate what is meant by this name, we call attention to a few points with which we are all more or less familiar. If we wind up the phonograph, the song sings itself, or the selection plays itself. If we connect an electric motor with the washing machine, the washing does itself. If we turn the current into the electric iron, the iron proceeds to heat itself. And we have all heard of the piano which plays itself. An application of the Automatic Life will give a solution of most of the difficult problems which confront the human race to-day. Consider, for instance, the important question of prohi- bition. By the workings of the Automatic Life, this question solves its self. Upon investiga- tion, we will find that considerable liquor is constantly being shipped into Provo City. If we visit the old saloon stands and ask for liquor, we are informed that no liquor is being sold. Should we ask a man who appears to be under the influence of liquor where he obtained his booze, he would no doubt inform us that he has had no booze. Since liquor is constantly being shipped into Provo and no one is drinking it, we come to the only rational conclusion that liquor, upon entering the city, at once adopts the Automatic Life and drinks its self. And similarly tobacco will chew it self and pipes will smoke themselves. (The latter has often happened with the stove pipe.) Consider also the controversy which has raged ITSELF concerning the discovery of the North Pole. All this discussion about observations, calculations, gum-drops, etc., is of no interest whatever in the face of the fact that the North Pole discovered himself. Dr. Cook realizes this [230] now, but Com. Peary is still at sea. The South Pole has no doubt discovered herself, but she refrains from making a public announcement of the fact because of the sad experience of her neighbor on the North. Again — why all this worrying, debating, and arguing about evolution? It is a waste of time and energy. God is surely not the author of all this discord. Why not place the credit where it belongs and admit that man created himself? What a load is lifted from our shoulders when the responsibility of defending both Adam and the Ape is removed! We will some day condemn ourselves for our lack of appreciation of the glorious inspiration which comes to us thru the immortal phrase The self-made man. And speaking of inspiration, what a load of it must have come to the committee on lectures and socials of the B. Y. University when they so ordered things as to permit the girls to take THEMSELVES to the parties. We need not worry OURSELVES about good spellers, poor spellers, abominable spellers or even the now notorious ornnibus spellers. Before long someone will call our attention to the fact that in the shorthand phonetic systems of writing, words all SPELL THEMSELVES. Not long ago the president of the University announced the last call for breakfast and students at once began expelling themselves. If we could realize even a fractional part of the wonders of this new life, we would feel like yelling ourselves. Think for instance of lessons getting them-selves, — of Christian Science cur- ing itself, of food chewing itself 147 times. Think of girls kissing themselves, and of boys kick- ing themselves. Think of a good joke running up and down the street cracking itself to every- body it met. And finally, notice the fact that this story has TOLD ITSELF. E. D. P. [231] Somebody s Dream I had a bad dream in my sleep last night: There were questioning Imps around my bed; They polled my ears, and tweaked my nose, Played in my hair, and danced on my head. These Questioning Imps flew about in the air And laughed and danced in fiendish delight; We have questions, said they, a hundred or more. We want no guessing, so answer us right. We have heard a great deal about the ' flood, ' The confusion of tongues and the Tower of Babel, Of the story of the Serpent, and Adam and Eve, But is it not really a myth or a fable? Now what do you say about ' the first flesh of the earth? ' And we ' challenge ' you to answer us if you can. How you ' I reconcile religion and Darwin ' s idea Regarding the origin and evolution of man? Now these Questioning Imps sat bolt up- right. And looked at me straight to see what I ' d do; But to all their questions I answered them thus: It ' s false because it ' s false, and it ' s true because it ' s true. But they cried long and loud and shook their heads. Until they heard the voice of the ' liberal few, ' Don ' t you see we must answer in knowledge and reason. It is time that we ' re taking the modern view. I awoke with a start and rubbed my eyes, How dark and chilly the room did seem; But there ' s one question yet that sticks in my mind, Were those Questioning Imps really only a dream? [232] Played In my hair, and danced on my head. They pulled my ears, and tweaked my nose.

What we have not told, we suppose Kuno, [234] The Banyan Staff Charged With Scandal HE strange conduct on the part of certain geniuses of the Banyan staff and their accomplices aroused first the curiosity and later the suspicion of several promi- nent faculty members. Nothing short of the most extraordinary abnormalities of conduct in these Junior gentlemen would have attracted special attention, but when nervy photographers, inquisitive detectives, and professional cartoonists shadowed the aforesaid professors for days at a time and later were caught in the act of delivering their grotesque and libelous creation to the Banyan bunch, it was feared that surprises were in store for somebody. The investigation which followed resulted in some interesting discoveries. Never in college history has there been a parallel case o f bold and presumptuous effrontery. The manner in which weaknesses, faults and peculiarities have been exaggerated would rival the testimony of a mother-in-law in a divorce case. From the great number of victims it would seem as if every conscientious Professor who, during the last ten years, has dared mark a member of this gang below D has been stung. The desperate part of it all is that the infamous volume was on the press and half printed at the time that its scandalous nature came to light. Just what final disposition will be made of the case cannot be predicted at present, but some interesting developments are expected. —White and Blue.

Yes sir, one cocktail makes me feel like another man; and, of course, I ' m bound to treat the other fellow. While Dr. Mary Walker was lecturing, lately, in one of her rural towns, it is said that a youth cried out: Are you the Mary that had a little Iamb? No! was the reply, but your mother had a little jackass! f I wish I were dead, is a common exclamation with the dyspeptic, and yet no man can get over a fence or crawl under a barn faster when there ' s danger ahead. —Ex. A man, who was sentenced to be hanged, was visited by his wife, who said: My dear, would you like the children to see you executed? No, replied he. That ' s just like you, said she, you never wanted the children to have any enjoyment. — Ex. A commercial student, all excited, presented a Ban- yan bill at the Registrar ' s office and asked what that meant; said he had had no special treatment from the doctor and did not see why they should send him a bill. On being told that it was the bill for his Banyan cut, he asked: Well, what does this D ' r. ' mean?

[264] Student ' s Supply Store ABOUT four years ago a strong sentiment was created among the students in favor of send- ing directly to the publishing and school supply houses for their books and other school supplies, thus getting them at minimum or reasonable prices. To accomplish this object the students ' Supply Association was organized as a department of the university, and began business Nov. 5, 1908. The association has a board of directors con- sisting of five persons, -three from the faculty and two from the student body. They meet once a month, receive reports from the business manager, and transact general business. Berry Maycock was appointed first manager and still holds that position. Berry is a man of business ability and he has managed the business very successfully. His winning ways have made him a favorite among the students especially the girls. The store has moved once to larger quarters and expects to have a larger sales room next year. Much good has been derived by the establish- ment of this store. It has accomplished its pur- pose by enabling the students to get their school supplies at minimum prices, and its location in the university has made it very convenient for students and teachers to place their orders and make purchases. Here and There It is reported that just after Provo went dry, a certain professor got the following notice from the ex- press office; Please come and get your books as soon as pos- sible. They ' re running all over the floor. Some students remind one of the Irishman who said he ' d found the job he ' d been looking for all his life and when asked what it was, replied: Lineman lor a wire- less telegraph company. -♦- Will some one kindly tell me why, That to men single, girls are shy; But when in wedlock I am bound, A million maidens linger ' round. All going nutty to spoon with me. I love my wife, you twenty-three. Berry Maycock. 4 Prof. Anderlin has decided to let out no books to book-keepers too many are being missed. It is rumored that some of the drug stores are taking to the peculiar business of selling birds. Their spec- ialty is the Swallow. Imagine my surprise when, upon suddenly entering the White and Blue office, I heard Carroll pleading with Central, please, give me a ring.

[246] Just for Fun: I cannot imagine, said ' Squire B., why my whiskers should turn gray so much sooner than the hair of my head. Because, observed a wag, you have worked so much more with your jaws than your brains. - - Unless you give me aid, said a beggar to a benevo- lent lady, I am afraid I shall have to resort to some- thing which I greatly dislike to do. The lady handed him a dollar, and compassionately asked: What is it poor man, that I have saved you from? Work, was the wonderful answer. Patrick, said the priest, how much hay did you steal?
