This Great White Throne is the vast keynote of 7,ion. If Jiffs its summit three thousand feet aboie the floor of the valley and seven thousand feet above the level of the sea. Its four sides fall sheer, and the foot of man has not yet scaled it. If gleams by day in awe-inspiring majesty, and by night it glows with a pervading presence under the stars. Under the moon it is even more super-natural. It seems to me that Sinai tvas nothing compared to this vast monolith of the Great White Throne in the new Zion of Utah, and yet if was from Sinai that God thundered His commandments to Moses. Here, though, is a more fitting rock for God ' s feet. And it may well be that His feet have been upon it and that His thunders have gone forth from if to man in ages now long since buried with the dust of time. Nor may we doubt that God may speak again from this rock to men in days that are yet to be. — John Steven McGroarty. .NJJ IM? g t Gazing out over a sun-baked prairie valley, a man — Brigham Young — inspired by Vision, exclaimed, This is the Place . But before the man came, God, in quest of a spot in which to home an Israel of modern times , found the place and epitomized it with the words This is the Place , an appellation for future peoples to repeat and to im- mortalize. Preserved and hidden up through the aeons of time to fill a great destiny and to home a great people, this land of shifting sands and howling coyotes has become a land of fruitful fields and happy homes. But what the man saw in Vision and what God beheld before him, is only now being revealed to the eyes of men. A variety of entrancing beauty that dazzles the wildest of imaginings notv lures multitudes of the world to bask in the rcstfulness of its charm. Wearied of crazy man-made things, they come; refreshed and strengthened t jrough contact with sublime God-made things, they go. Enthralled before the majesty of God ' s Handiivorks, men of all climes stand here with boived heads to meditate. Inspired by the faith and nobility of God-loving Mormon Pioneers, who first made the -way to these Temples of God , men are here taught to appreciate. Verily, This is the Place. fi- :0 P; ((ii ?Sv ' 8.i«A- cm Located in the heart of the most exquisitely heautiful of God ' s creations, the Bri ham Youn University stands a monument to the noble ideals which His Handiworks typify. If, in perusing these pa es, you receive anew some of the inspiration obtained while at school; if you catch a ain the spirit of our home- land as exemplified by His temples here abounding, and as absorbed and dissem- inated by our Alma Matet , we shall be happy, knowing our aim has been achieved. m li In vememhvance of einhard Maeser, whose aim in life, as ex- pressed hy himself was ' ' ■ ■ ' so live that those for whom we are working may he proud of us as their representatives. They who knew him best testify that his life was a glorious exemplification of this ideal. J HESE many years Education Building has stretched its tower into the skv eloquently sym- bolizing a reaching up for something better, yet maintaining a firm foun- dation beneath. Hundreds of students each year enter through its portals, responding to the urge for a higher and bet- ter life, while others, hav- ing completed their work, come out to face a world of stern realities. Stand- ing squarely upon the foundation of truth care- fully laid during their years within, they fear- lessly step forth equipped with knowledge, purpose and vision, all elements of success. An endless pro- cess of development — raw material being trans- formed into capable man- hood and womanhood, physically, intellectually and spiritually trained. The Glory of God is Intelligence. — J o s e p h Smith.. i— J OR every advanced step in any field of human endeavor, there has been a preparation — a basic, foundational training. So is it at Young . Pre- liminary to their entrance into the College of higher learning, students are trained in the ideals and ethics of that institution. Functioning as a refiner of human qualities the Y High School serves the needs of the greater Young . Down through the years men trace their careers from their humble be- ginnings in this justly proud h.ill. It ' s the hard road of trying and learning Of toiling, uncheered and alone, That wins us the prizes worth earning. And leads us to goals 17 t; NDER the arch that marks East Entrance to College Building, students of two generations have passed on their way to College Hall. The Hall of Memories is College Hall. Tri-week- ly students have volun- tarily assembled there in throngs to render sincere devotion in humble rec- ognition of a Supreme Be- ing. There they have list- ened to and have seen excellent performances of Fine Art; they have been ennobled through contact with good men and wom- en who have come there to teach fundamental Truths of life. They have learned the great principles of Democracy through ming- ling with each other there on a common basis. The great intangible Spirit of the Y had its origin there and now receives its nour- ishment therefrom. Sacred to the memory of thou- sands is College Hall. Reverence of God is the basis of morality. — The Talmud. O) 18 (£yENEATH the roof supported by these massive pillars men of true char- acter are being trained to handle the gigantic prob- lems of modern business administration. Influenced by the solidity of the huge supports about them, they are building firmly in pre- paration for the responsi- bilities which shall rest upon them. Maeser Memorial Build- ing was erected in honor of Utah ' s great pioneer educator whose word was bond. The ideals of the man as typified by the silent strength and whole- some beauty of the build- ing bearing his name, serve to lift men out of the sor- did practices of cheap business dealings into the new realm of fair and square relationship. Places of trust are only for the trusted: And high commissions but for men with missions. ;n f;§ 1 s the God of winter lays up a store of snow that is to melt and come forth under Old Hill Bridge in the form of sparkling water on its way with nourishment to the precious plant life of the valley below and thus make possible the wealth and beauty of the land, so the season of winter pro- vides a time when stores of pure knowledge are laid up in the consciousness of those who compose the constant stream of hu- manity that flows over the bridge, as they go forth and back j ajhering and storing the morsels of truth with which they will feed a hungry world and cause it to grow in wealth of intelli- gence and accomplishment in the future. Let us walk straightly, friend; Forget the crooked paths behind us now. Press on with steadier purpose on our brow. To better deeds, O friend. o ICTURESQUE in all her seasonal dresses, Brida Veil Falls graces the Sum- mer School campus near Aspen Grove. Fortunate is the student who comes under her magic power. To have seen her play in all the grand majesty of her natural surroundings and fall, laughing and rip- pling in enjoyment of her freedom, over the tower- ing cliffs, is to know the joy of pursuing one ' s stud- ies among the ecstasies of nature. We live in deeds, not years; in thought, not breaths; In feelings, not in figures on a dial; We should count time bv heart-throbs. He most lives Who thinks most, feels the noblest, acts the best. I. ' 22 Lake Blanche, Cottonwood Caxvox, Utah 25 26 TiMPANOGOs IN Winter In her winter plumage, the inspiration of the valley achieves the acme of her beauty. Mantled in her white adornments of purity, she seems to cry out to all peoples, Be ye clean. 27 29 Angels ' Landing, Zion National Park, Utah Reaching fifteen hundred feet above the river which washes its base, this great block of red sandstone is almost entirely detached from its surround- ings. It was first scaled September 9, 1924, when two park rangers made the climb without aid of ropes. 30 31 32 33 34 I The Great Falls or the Yellowstone At the Great Fall of the Yellowstone, the river becomes perpendicular and leaps with the roar of a thousand dynamos 308 feet to the floor of the kaleidoscopic canyon, losing itself in a whirling nebula of spray which sends graceful streamers of mist incessant!) upward. 35 36 Sunset Behind Mount Moran, Jackson Lake in Foreground Nestled far enough away from the frequent haunts of men to be un- trammeled. Mount Moran. the Tetons, Jenny and Jackson Lakes have been preserved in their primeval grandeur. A fit rendezvous for men who would be near God. 37 Big Red Fish Lake, Idaho With the mighty Sawtooth Mountains rising up as protectors overlooking the country- round, and a sylvan forest of pines reaching down to the very edge of the water. Big Red Fish Lake has a richness of setting that makes it one of the most beautiful of all jewels. 38 THISISTK Surging and plunging in an ever increasing roar, the mighty Snake River rapidly gains momentum and power for its tremendous plunge over Shoshone Falls. The churning maelstrom below sends mist and spray high into the air while the deafening barrage of maddened waters continues. 39 I 40 41 42 Rainbow Natural Bridge, Utah Gorgeously clothed in mottled red and yellow with its symmetrically arched span, you at once give this freak of erosion the name by which it was called by the first white man who saw jt, and which it yet retains. Its height above the surface of the water is 309 feet and its span is 278 feet. 43 Natural Bridge, Bryce Canyon, Utah Almost lost in its Oriental surroundings, you experience difficulty in find- ing this Natural Bridge, but once seen, you can never lose it, for it stands out different in shape and color to anything you have ever beheld. Its freakishness holds you long in a magic spell, and its charm fascinates you. 44 45 I ' THIS IS THE PLACE ' 1 Gateway to the Garden of the Gods, Colorado When one enters this natural gateway, the first is the beauty of majestic Pike ' s Peak towering in the these age-old portals is planted a garden of bewitch 46 THIS IS THE PLACE ' 47 48 ii II Panorama of Zion Canyon, Utah Zion Canyon is a profound gorge banded with creamy white and many shades of rich red, a matchless carving by the greatest of all sculptors, erosion. Several of its mighty rock temples rank with the most majestic masses in the land. The variety of its massive sculpture, the exquisite harmonies of its painted precipices, the grandeur of its stupendous buttes and walls, its cycle of glorious color from dawn to sunset are sources of delight to the artistic instinct within everyone. It has one aspect of beauty from its green-garbed floor, another from its dizzy rim of white; from the dusky depths of The Narrows the strongest sensation is awe. East Temple and the Twin Brothers, Zion National Park From the vermilion walls have been chiseled individual buttes and peaks of great bulk and majesty, among them the East Temple. It is a splendid structure of pink and white surmounted by a carmine cap-stone. Above the east wall stand the Twin Brothers and the Mountain-of-the-Sun, the latter the first to glow in the light of dawn, the last to hold the evening rays. — And these soaring scarps and summits present such varied tints and hues of red that the expert in pigments is bewildered; from delicate pink to deepest carmine, and beyond — from bittersweet and orient pink through orange chrome, flame-scarlet, vermilion, jasper, Pompeiian red and Indian lake to mahogany, ox-blood, maroon and a red that is almost black. In places the walls are topped with creamy white and the green of pines. Every- where they exhibit a wizardry of massive sculpture. i = -aocr ?r = ;3? f 52 S 5i The Temple of Osiris, Brvce Canyon, Utah Bryce Canyon is probably the most astonishing blend of exquisite beauty and grotesque grandeur ever produced by the forces of erosion. It is not to be described, however imperfectly, except in the language of fancy. When lighted by the morn- ing sun the gorgeous chasm is an immense bowl of lace and filigree work in stone, colored with the -white of frost and the pinks of glowing embers. To those who have not forgotten the story books of childhood it suggests a playground for fairies, [n another aspect it seems a smoldering inferno where goblins and demons might dwell. But perhaps strongest is its likeness to some magnificent Oriental City, still standing in silent glory despite the ravages of time. h V .ir -ucJnA i The Sculptor ' s Studio, Bryce Canyon, Utah In the maze of fancied architecture uprising from Bryce ' s sunken gardens, where pine, spruce and manzanita spread their greens, may be discovered structures that might have come from China, Egypt, Greece, the medieval cities of Europe and the ;ancient capitals of Mexico and Peru; there is a stronger hkeness, perhaps, to some of those decaying temples, bursting with decoration, in the jungles of Burmah and Java. It is not difficult to find pagodas, Imosques, cathedrals, organs, pyramids, suspension bridges, leaning towers, flying buttresses and stairways, col- onnades, walls with niches and windows — All of the architects of antiquity might have drawn their inspiration from the silent city of Bryce. Si zx - % -ca=J is -i t V TZTsr 56 e Sunset at North Rim, Grand Canyon, Arizona More mysterious in its depth than the Him.ihiyas in their height, writes Professor John C. Van Dyke, the Grand Canyon remains not the eighth but the first wonder of the world. There is nothing hke it. The Grand Canyon may be described as a vast and intricate range of sunken mountains cut through a hundred miles of high plateau, ' a mountain chain reversed. ' — It is a measureless labyrinth of canyons with an infinite array of magnificent architectural forms upthrust from their depths. Deep down in the uttermost gorge of granite, the Colorado, ' the rushingest, roaringest ' river in the land, grinds cease- lessly at the rocks, while from above the sunlight pours daily into the chasm a shifting color parade of exquisite blues and purples, glowing reds and golds. Bryce Canyon from Inspiration Point, Utah i Faculty Administration 63 y ■yy Franklin Stewart Harris President of University B. S., 1907. Brigham Young University Ph. D.. 1911. Cornell University To know President Harris is to honor and respect him. He has that priceless gift, the power to gain the respect and confidence of the students and at the same time to assure them, by action rather than words, that he is their friend. He is thoroughly democratic, a self-made man. and an outstanding authority in his chosen field. As an executive, his success in directing the affairs of this University through a period of rapid expansion entitles him to a high place. J 65 The opportunity of contact with President-Emeritus George H. Brimhall is one of the rare privileges which comes to students of the Brigham Young University. A God-fearing man, an outstanding theologian and an eminent scholar, Dr. Brimhall is a source of inspiration to faculty and student body alike. Fearlessness and an uncompromising allegiance to the truth, earnestness, sincerity and the highest type of honesty are qualities which characterize this great man. 0} )M Carl F. Eyring Professor of Physics and Mathematics Dealt of College of Arts and Sciences A. B., 1912, Brigham Young University M. A., 1915, University of Wisconsin Ph. D., 1924, California Institute of Technology The College of Arts and Sciences The College of Arts and Sciences has a two-fold purpose. The primary purpose, and the one on which by far the greater stress is laid is to meet the needs of students who want a broad education that will enable them to find and take their places in the complex civilization of today. The secondary pur- pose of preparation for original investigation in the fields of science receives adequate and sympathetic attention. The ever-increasing enrolment in this College bears witness to the popularity it enjoys in the University. Dr. Carl F. Eyring, because of excellent training and genial personality, is well qualified for his posi- tion as Dean in this College. His sympathetic treatment of every student has won for him the respect, and more important, the friendship of the students who have been fortunate enough to come in contact with him. College of Applied Science The College of Applied Science affords an ex- cellent grade of practical training in the scientific principles and technical operations pertaining to the farm, the home, and the shop. The steady increase in the enrolment of this College gives proof that practical training is gaining a well deserved recog- nition in modern education. Dr. Christian Jensen, a man of clear vision and friendly disposition, is unusually well fitted for the position he holds as Dean of this College. Genial, yet he has a pleasing dignity which at once wins and holds the respect of the students. His sincerity and keenness of analysis have made him a splendid leader. Dean Jensen has a stimulating effect upon the students with whom he comes in contact. Christian Jensen Professor of History and Political Science Acting Dean, College of Applied Science A. B., 1907, University of Utah M. A., 1908, Harvard University Ph. D., 1921, University of Chicago p College of Commerce In this age of keen competition in the business world, little or no premium is placed on the un- prepared, or poorly prepared workman. The pre- mium goes to the skilled workman. There is always room at the top. The Brigham Young University clearly recog- nizes this fact and its College of Commerce is offer- ing training of both a practical and a theoretical nature. That this training is carrying over is proved by the unusual success of the commerce graduates. The success of the college is due, in large measure, to Dean Harrison V. Hoyt. Combined with an ex- cellent theoretical training he has a wide business experience and a clear, practical mind, qualifications which make him a capable and efficient leader and a highly successful Dean. John C. Swenson Professor of Economics and Socioloi y Acting Dean of Education A. B., 1898, Stanford University M. A., 1921, Columbia University Harrison V. Hoyt Professor of Business Adniinisfra ion Dean of College of Commerce and Business Administration B. S., 1913, Purdue University M. B. A., 1917, Harvard Univcrsitv College of Education Today the demand lor excellence is as urgent in the teaching profession as it is in any other field. The prospective teacher must not only have a rich background of information but also must have a technical training that will enable him to present this information in the best possible manner. The Brigham Young University correlates moral training with the technical training it gives the prospective teacher. The ever-increasing demand for teachers trained at this institution is ample evi- dence that the method is successful and is meeting with appreciation In the absence of President Harris, Dean L. John Nuttall has very successfully acted as President of the University. However, the manner in which Professor John C. Swenson has filled the Deanship of the College of Education has left nothing to be desired. Professor Swenson ' s adaptability and splen- did capability for leadership have earned him well- deserved success in this position. College of Fine Arts The growth of the College of Fine Arts since its initiation a year ago has been truly remarkable. Its enrolment of about one hundred and fifty members furnishes all the proof necessary that it was formed to fulfil a definite and clearly recognized need. In the scramble for the dollar, the cultural aspects and forces of life are not being lost sight of nor neglected. Dean Gerrit de Jong, a man of engaging per- sonality and keen sense of humor, was indeed a happy selection for the position he holds as Dean of this College. His versatility of training and accomplish- ments, his clear foresight and exceptional native ability have made his Deanship highly popular and successful. Gerrit de Jong Associate Professor of Modem Languages Dean of College of Fine Arts A. B., 1920, University of Utah Student at National University of Mexico M. A., 1924, University of Utah Summer School The summer sessions at the Brigham Young Uni- versity are filling a definite need in a highly credit- able manner. The unique feeling of good fellowship that characterizes them represents the Y spirit at its best. Perhaps the greatest factor in the success of the summer school is the well directed and conscientious effort of Dr. Hugh M. Woodward, the Dean. His good judgment has led him to choose, and his in- fluence has enabled him to secure, the foremost educators of the country for the suinmer sessions. The excellence of the instruction and the unique spirit that pervades it have gained for the Y Summer School an enviable place among similar in- stitutions of the country. Furthermore in Dean Woodward the students have a wise counselor and sympathetic and valuable friend. ???%-■ •-v ' Kir. ■ir. ? 70 l 3 Extension Division Through the Extension Division the Brigham Young University has extended its scope of in- fluence. The benefits of instruction and contact are made available to a greater number, directly through extension work, indirectly through correspondence work. The scope of the service, the number of people availing themselves of it, the enthusiastic response with which it is meeting are proofs enough that it is fulfilling a definite need. Professor Lowry Nelson, because of his efficient methods, enthusiasm for his work, pleasing person- ality, and capacity for constructive planning, is thoroughly qualified for the position he holds as Director of the Extension Division. His promptness and courtesy in replying to correspondence ha e won for him the respect and admiration of those who come in contact with him in this manner. The rapid growth of the Division under his direction proves his abilitv as an administrator. Nettie Neff Smart Dean of Women LowRY Nelson Assistant Professor of Soc ' o o.s; y Director of Extension Division Acting Dean of Snnnner Session B. S., 1916, Utah Agricultural College M. S., 1924, Universitv of Wisconsin Dean Nettie Smart A large proportion of the girls who attend school at the Brigham Young University come from such distances that it is impracticable for them to visit at home frequently. The problem of keeping these girls happy and contented is an important one and one for the solution of which sympathy, patience, tact, wisdom, and understanding are necessary. The outstanding qualifications of Nettie Neff Smart for the position she holds as Dean of Women are unquestioned. The position carries with it much responsibility and for this reason a successful Dean of Women deserves much praise. No one who realizes Mrs. Smart ' s accomplishments can question her success. Her character is such as to win the ad- miration of all those who come in contact with her. Her personality is pleasing, her attitude friendly, and her interest in her work genuine. She has gained the confidence and respect of the girls with whom she has worked. I Walter P. Cottam Professor of Botany A. B., 1916, Brigham Yount University M. S., 1919, Brigham Young University Ph.

Holbrook Student Body Pmidciif Willingness to serve and untiring efforts to carry out those things necessary tor a successful year in student body affairs have characterized this year ' s student ad- ministration. Elected generally with a fair margin, the student body officers have conscientiously served those who put them in office. They have cooperated in a commendable manner and a spirit of genuine good will and fellowship has been manifested in their meetings and deliberations. The student managers of the various departments of student activity have demonstrated their leadership in that they have had the student council back them almost unanimously in those things which tlicy felt were vital for their respective departments. Traditional student body events have been supported with marked enthusiasm by Leda Thompson Student Body Vice-President the administration and careful consideration was evidenced in the choice of committees to carry them over. Harmony between student body and faculty has been very satisfactory to those who have been directly responsible for student body affairs. Those in charge of student body programs have endeavored to give as many students as possible a chance to participate. They have solicited at all times suggestions from the student body at large in order that programs might be of the many for the many. Special features which have characterized the year ' s admin istration are: The pub- lishing of the College Song, student body e.xodus to Salt Lake to attend football and basketball contest- with the University of Utah; unusual support of and enthusiasm in the pep rallies held on various occasions; and the very extraordinary attendance and eneral success of the student body dances, especially the matinee dances.

Y. U. talent had increased to such an extent by 1919 that the Student Body organized a special Bureau to prepare and conduct these programs. This Public Service Bureau has proved to be one of the best advertising mediums that the school has. The work of the Bureau has rapidly increased until during the past year, nearly two hundred programs have been presented, in all parts of the State. Approximately two-hundred and fifty students have had the opportunity of appearing before the public. During May, three programs of special note were sent on a tour of the various high schools of the State. One group of students appeared before the high schools in Sanpete, Sevier and Emery Counties. A second group visited the high schools in Salt Lake and Utah Counties, and the third program toured the high schools north of Salt Lake. The Bureau truly deserves its name of Public Service both from the standpoint of the public and the students. By means of the Bureau, High Schools, Churches, Clubs, etc., have been able to secure first-class entertainment, and the students of the University have obtained the experience and development to be derived from displaying thier talents in public. S2 CAl umni 83 MELVIN C. MILLER OSCAR A. KIRKHAM A. REX JOHNSON H. A. Dixon Associated Alumni of B. Y. U. With a constitutional objective to promote the welfare of the University and to encourage the interest of the Alumni of the University and in each other the Associated Alumni has gone through its second year of existence under a revised plan, with its possibilities more definitely crystallized, and its need more keenly felt than was ever experienced under the organization of former years. The monthly publication of the ' Y ' ALUMNUS, the official magazine of the organization, has kept hundreds of former students in close touch with Alma Mater. This has been kept enlivened through the efforts of General Alumni Secretary A. Rex Johnson with the assistance of William J. Snow, Jr., and Melvin C. Miller. A plan for life memberships has added to the Alumni treasury considerably over one thousand dollars, and the Alumni office, with its task of keeping complete the records of eighteen thousand Alumni, has been kept intact through the payment of annaul dues by other loyal Alumni. The detailed records have been the basis for launch- ing a new idea for alumni reunions, that of having classes which were together on the campus reune together once every five years. The Alumni Board feels keenly the embryo leadership of the graduating classes and bids them bon voyage with an annual formal reception in their honor. Two active Alumni clubs, one in Provo and one in Salt Lake City, have held regular social events during the past year, and a permanent organization has been established in each of these cities; many other Alumni clubs meet irregularly. Officers for the year 1926-27 were Oscar A. Kirkham, ' 02 A. Rex Johnson, ' 24 Inez Knight Allen, ' 01 H. A. Dixon, ' 14 Melvin C.

' ■ ' , 84 University Club Alumni Male Chorus Sixty voices comprise the membership of this unique male chorus of alumni members of Provo. Growing out of the University Club which was first organized by Alumni of B. Y. U. for social purposes, this musical organization during its first year of existence has made a signal contribution to the University through its broad- casting and its public programs. The Chorus is directed by Professors J. W. McAllister, George Titzrov, and William F. Hanson, and managed by A. Rex Johnson. The officers of the Universitv Club, which sponsored this community activity are: Elvon L. Jackson, President; Allie Smoot Coleman, Vice-President; Fred L. Markham, Secretary-Treasurer. The personnel of the chorus follows: Robert Allen LeGrande Anderson Joseph Ahlander Stewart Anderson George S. Ballif Joseph E. Banks Harr ' Butler O. L. Barnett George E.

Ray Green Edgar McArthur Kenneth Weight H. R. Merrill Walter Robinson The Sculptor Molds The Alumni Project The Alumni project is nearly completed. The sculptor has carefully molded into impressive likeness a bust figure of our beloved President-Emeritus, George H. Brimhall. A commendable endeavor this, and one that will receive the plaudits of all appreciators of greatness in men. For George H. Brimhall is a great man. These many years he has conscientiously molded the characters of young men and women into more Christ-like image. It is well that we should preserve his memory in this tangible way, but let us not stop here. Quoting an alumnus: If we are going to do something to honor President Brimhall, do it ' ' ' • ' in a big way and more consistent with his life ' s message. A beautiful auditorium large enough to seat the student body in Devotional — it might still resound with his short vital messages and go down in the future with all the memories of his voice in College Hall ' ' Why not an Alumni Hall dedicated to him?

CLARKE President Emma Snow Vice-President The Senior Class Year Success and good-fellowship have characterized the activities and undertakings of the Senior Class this year. Under the capable direction of President Willard H. Clarke and Vice-President Emma Snow, the class has enjoyed a pleasant and profitable year. A unique costume party, in which the Juniors joined with the Seniors, held Friday, November 6, in the Ladies Gymnasium, was the first social activity indulged in by the class. This party was a Kermess of the Nations. The stately Seniors and dignified Juniors appeared as South Africans, Chinese, Cossacks, Spaniards, Indians and citizens of various nations. It was a rousing success. In the interclass debates, the Seniors won the undisputed championship, both teams being victorious. Gold medals were presented to the winners. The versatility of the class was further displayed in the unique ideas, clever costuming and excellent acting and direction which made the Senior Class Play, Mrs. Bumpstead Leigh, one of the very best comedies produced at the Y this year. Chance is a fine element, even in the choice of partners for a party. Working on this proposition the Seniors allowed the element of chance to determine the choice of partners for the Valentine Party held in the Manavu Ward Recreation Hall, February 14. Seniors only participated in this party and partners were chosen by drawing. Seeing one Senior accompany another Senior ' s lady friend to the party was interesting, and very likely, shocked students who were not aware of the nature of the party. It has become traditional for the last party of the Senior Class to be held at Vivian Park. Although the tradition was followed, no dearth of ideas for party planning was felt this year. In spite of the fact that there are some who pay far more into this life than they get out of it, and consequently refuse to contribute to such things as the Senior Project, the class this year paid in a larger project sum than any previous class.

The movement for the stadium had its beginning in 192 3 and since that time the classes of 1923, 1924, 1926, and 1927 have made stadium construction their projects. Nature has been kind to the B. Y. U. in supplying such a wonderful site. The Utah Lake to the west, the Provo Mountains to the east. Mount Timpanogos to the north, and Utah Valley with Mount Nebo in the distance to the south, make the view from the site almost incomparable. The hill to the east of the field rises abruptly making a most ideal natural place for the seats to be arranged in convenient tiers. It is safe to say that there is ample room on this hill to afford seating accommodations for from eight to ten thousand people. The work is progressing steadily if not especially rapidly. The work being done at this time is foundational and docs not make the spectacular appearance many expect of it. Specific architectural plans have not yet been completed. However, the general plan calls for construction of seats in blocks of two thousand each, a perfect track, field, and gridiron, and two beautiful entrances to the field — one from the top of the hill, the other will be at some point on the field proper. The stadium is not a dream. The work has so far progressed that there is very good reason to hope that the field will be sufficiently completed and the first block of seats installed for use during the fall of 192 8. A 94 MRS.

EDWARDS President i jiZM Marva Hodson Vice-President Junior Class Year The Junior class, larger than ever, more successful than ever, happier than ever, more studious than ever, and as ever very active in student affairs, socially, scholastic- ally, athletically, and forensically. Under the able direction of the President William F. Edwards, assisted by Marva Hodson, and Helen Carroll, the class has sped happily along. The bi-monthly class meet- ings were well attended and the programs presented were entertaining and instructive. Business was woven into the class fun and the affairs of the group generally were well and efficiently taken care of. A distinctive garb was adopted by the class. For the boys the garb consisted of brown corduroys and a striped buff and brown tailored jacket. The girls chose to wear the tailored jacket adopted by the boys. Scholastically the class has ranked high. Juniors have appeared on the honor role, but these were not isolated case s for the general average of the class as a whole was unusually good. In scholarship and in all student activities the Juniors have been among the most prominent. Every sport on the calendar found Juniors participating in goodly numbers, and not a few of them were outstanding. From football to swimming, the Juniors have given a whole-hearted and active support. They have been good losers and gracious winners. The high spot of the year socially for the whole school was the Junior Promenade. Formal, courteous, gracious, beautiful, and quaint; the ball sponsored by the class of ' 28 was in every way up to the standard set for B. Y. U. Proms. The Prom, al- though being the peak socially for the class did not stand alone in the social activities of the Juniors. The Junior-Senior Kermess, a joint party between classes was a fun fest for all. Costumes from the scant to the scrumptious were there. Nationalities from Timbuctoo to the U. S. A., characters from the jungles, from the plains, and from the drawing rooms mingled together in the most informal and happiest party of the year. A lake trip was enjoyed by the Junior Class towards the end of the year. Utah Lake and a full moon provided the setting — the class did the rest. The Junior class, larger than ever, more successful than ever, happier than ever, enjoyed its year. We ' ve played hard, we ' ve worked hard, and we ' ve profited much. 110 ALTON R. LARSEN RAE RUST ' IHELA BUCHANAN WILLIAM J. bNOW. JK. Edgar Booth Naomi broadbent Robert Curtis Junior Promenade Around the theme of Wonderland, well worked out in the favors, decorations, and refreshments, the annual Junior Promenade, swelled, rode high, dipped down, eddied and swirled in a maze of mingled emotion. Many more than AUce were in Wonderland on the night of February 11, 1927, but it is doubtful if the reactions of Alice were any more varied than those of the quietlv happy throng in the Ladies ' Gymnasium. To enter the Prom the guests came ' in through the rabbit hole only to find themselves face to face with large mirrors. Branching from the mirrors both to the left and to the right they entered Wonderland proper. The walls were banks of flowers, multicolored, and covering everything. From the ceiling streamed myriads of garlands, flowers, but even the wealth of flowers was unable to shut out the delicate flow of tinted lights, secluded, but glinting through the foliage, lending truly Wonderland atmosphere to the hall. In the center ' of the floor stood large bower, covered with ferns, flowers, and butterflys and in the center of the bower was the pool of tears. In the corners were largish toad stools, and spider webs. Refreshments were served from a grotto and were in Wonderland forms. The guests ate ice cream in the shape of cats, turtles, rabbits lions strawberries, and other oddities. Engraved leather programs were favors and conformed to the general theme of the Promenade. The Promenade of 1927 is past, but the memory lingers. It was a beautiful thing, a high spot in the life of every Junior, and a quaint, happy evening in the life of every guest. 112 The Banvan Tree To The Class of ' 28 The following beautiful greeting sent to The Banyan by our friendly President Franklin Stewart Harris, written as he sat beneath the spreading branches of the greatest banyan tree, may, with all appropriateness, be inscribed to the class of ' 28. As Seniors the members of this class will have the privilege of welcoming him back to Alma Mater and will have the honor of receiving their baccalaureate degrees directly under his administration. They will be the first as a class, after his return, to go out and exemplify the symbol of the banyan tree, as interpreted by the B. Y. U. Therefore, we inscribe this greeting and these pictures and what they symbolize to the class of ' 28, and charge them with the responsibility of answering; the greeting with noble deeds, that they, like the myriad trunks that strengthen the banyan tree, may fasten deep into the fundamentals of truth and thus strengthen our Alma Mater. i Calcutta, India, December 12, 1926. I am writing this greeting to ' The Banyan ' while sitting under the largest banyan tree in the world. This tree is in the Botanical Gardens in Calcutta, India. On the tree there is a sign board which says that the tree is one hundred fifty-seven years old. Its crown has a spread of one thousand feet in circumference and it has six hundred and one aerial roots which have rooted in the ground. It is eighty-nine feet high. Its scientific name is given as Ficus Bengalensis, Linn., which shows that it is related to the fig tree. Our entire B. Y. U. student body could stand under this tree at one time and all of them be shaded by its branches. As I write I see probably a dozen clusters of people under it and none of them are close enough to the others to hear what members of the other groups are saying. Among those under the tree are women with rings in their noses and others with their ears filled all over with ornaments of various kinds. m 113 114 116 117 lis 119 % , DeAlton Partridge DlCIA EMERT FRANCIS HAYCOCK BE1.VA LEE DOROTHY HARMON Edgar Booth Victor Ashworth JOHN E.

HART President Sophomore School Year Under the capable leadership of President David Hart and Vice-President Mary Lee, this school year has been one of outstanding accomplishments for the class of 1929. Three hundred and fifty loyal class members have made the year one of pleasure and profit. Unique class uniforms stimulated a feeling of good-fellowship among the members of the class, that made for splendid cooperation along the lines of social activities, com- petitive sports, oratory, music and dramatics. At the beginning of the year the boys adopted a uniform of jacket, trousers and cap, of the corduroy type, trimmed with plaid. The girls adopted a clever blue jacquerjack. Two outstanding parties have been fostered by the class. First in importance was the Loan Fund Ball, which was financially and socially very successful. This ball was mstituted by the Sophomore Class of 1921 as a project for each second year class to promote. The fund is available for students who are in need of money to complete their school year. The first party of the year w.is a Kid ' s party, a dance of merriment and good time. The Sophomores won the honors of the Cross Country Run this year thereby en- titling them to a Turkey Dinner, in which the whole class took an active part. Sophomores have been foremost in the fields of sport, music, dramatics, literature and debating. The year has been marked with good cheer, good fellowship and successful activities. 126 niii r MAX TAYLOR MARY LEE WILLIAM MCCOARD Committee Chairman ELROY Nelson Sophomore Loan Fu nd Ball Interest and enthusiasm of the Sophomore Chiss for the biggest constructive un- dertaking of the school year, backed by that of the entire Student Body, was responsible for an unprecedented success of the annual Sophomore Loan Fund Ball. An active committee headed by William McCoard, with Mary Lee, Max Taylor, Elroy Nelson, and representatives from each of the classes collaborating, launched the campaign with an intensive ticket drive. The spirit of the occasion carried over to the business men of the city, eliciting their cooperation in contributing prizes for the sale contest. Individually, Miss Leah Broadbent, freshman, carried the high sales record with one hundred tickets, while the inter-class contest laurels wet to the Sophomores. The grand ball was notable from two angles. As an informal social it stands paramount. As to finance — the prime motive behind it all— it was a tremendous success. Proceeds of the ball amounted to five hundred dollars all of which was applied on the Fund — this the largest addition yet made by any one class. It is felt a surety that the accomplishment of this year will serve to only heighten and emulate the worthy cause of the Loan Fund among the classes that will follow from year to year.

NiTA Wakefield Vice-Presit enf FRED Moore President MILDRED DAVIS Secretary -Treasurer X: Freshman Class Year The class of ' 30 leaves behind it a most commendable freshman record. Nearly five hundred students attended the first class meeting and prepared to inaugurate a banner year by electing Fred Moore, President; Nita Wakefield, Vice-President; and Mildred Davis, Secretary and Treasurer. Early in the year the famous Y spirit was appreciated and assimilated, which probably explains the unprecedented success of the Freshman Class in winning honor in the various major activities and interests of the school. The class reaped fame in the fields of oratory, dramatics, music, debatmg, athletics and in inter-class competition. One of the greatest achievements of the year was the winning of the State Champion- ship in Freshman football. Feminine pulchritude must also be granted this class, which succeeded in placing three contestants in the celebrity contests, one of whom won the title of most popular ladv , and another, second place in the final beauty adjudication. Consummately, the Freshman Class of 1926-27 has given much to the success of the school year. 141) FROSH FOOTBALL TEAM Frosh football this season, with a team scoring one victory, seven to nothing over Utah, one scoreless tie with Snow college, and losing one game to Idaho Tech, un- covered the best prospective material to work with on the varsity of any season for some time. Conover and the Skousens in the backfield, Bunnell at center, Reeves at end, Loveless at end, and Bassinger at full-back pro ved to be the outstanding lights of the THANKSGIVING DAY MARATHON The Freshman class scored a victory when Anthon)- Bentley, of Mexico, took first place in the annual Thanksgiving cross-country run, beating out Frosty Richards and a fast field of other contestants, making it in the good time of 22:46 4 5 seconds, a few seconds slower than the record made the year before by Rich- ards. ANNUAL SPRING CROSS- COUNTRY RUN Loman Hutchings of Springville brought hoonr to his class by winning the Spring Cross- country run of two and si. -tenths miles. Lo- man was not pushed to any great extent in winning, his long legs carrying him over the course in the good time of fourteen minutes . nd twelve seconds. Lo.M.

Holgate President The High School Year The school year of 1926-27, at the Y High School, has been the best, most enjoyable, and most prosperous of any in its history. For the first time Y High School has become a separate unit, complete in its organization, and complete in its activities. There have been several activities introduced for the first time. We were admitted to the State Basketball League, as a member of the Alpine division. We held our first Junior Promenade. We became a member of the State Debating League. Further- more, we have held our own assemblies. In the basketball world, our team, while it did not go to the State Tournament, did exceptionally fine work. As the infants of the Alpine division, many handicaps had to be overcome. The team, new, inexperienced, but determined, did creditable work, of which we are proud. On the track and the tennis court we expect big things of our men. Last year the Y High School won the State in Tennis Singles — and we have every reason to believe we shall take both singles and doubles this year. In dramatics, the annual competitive play was a delight to all who saw it. Several one-act plays have been presented during the year. In addition to this, many numbers for the assembly programs have been furnished. Debating for our first time, many difficulties were encountered. But the spirit has entered our school, the nucleus has been formed, around which a real debating record is to be built. Our first annual Junior Promenade, with all its splendor a nd beauty, marked the beginning of a new epoch in the social life of our school. This, together with the Senior Hop, Fools Day Party, and other regular parties have afforded a splendid social opportunity for everyone. The Yelling Contest was again won by our school. Three years we were the victors and the Evans-Jensen Trophy has become our permanent possession. It decks our halls and calls us on to new victories and new conquests. The County Typewriting Contest was won decisively by the Y High School typists. In the State Contest the trophy, awarded by the Mountain States Telephone .ind Telegraph Company was won by our typists. The student body organization has worked as an efficient unit to make the year ' s activities a success. Hi. v .fV -- lui i How It Happened The Y High is growing Just watch what I say We ' ve wailed and waited Now we ' ve found our day Irom near and from far Everyone firm and true We ' ve gathered to praise you — Our dear White and Blue. Not the last, nor the first Of this school year ' s real treats Came our Seniors grand ball A remarkable feat, Called a hop we are told Not by one, but by all. Hop they did, many say At this Seniors ' grand ball. Toward a leader for us All our interests we turned Myron Holgate our choice We happily learned. As a help and an aid Sarah Dixon we named — With those two at the helm We would march on to fame. Take a look at the first ' Twas an April fools dare — Just the day of all days For a costume affair. We were there in the spirit. We were dressed for the ball And Fool ' s day of this year Was portrayed by us all. Melba Lee, Merle Vance, Paul Holt, and Neff Smart — Each one was to help In our great onward march. First a party just fine At the foot of the hill Let us know that this year, With good things would be filled. Debating our first year We worked on to the last. Though our spoils were not great We did gain power fast. Friends from North, friends from South In our friendliest fray cre glad to take notice of all we did say. Basket ball in our school For the first time in years Came into its own place — We got into a league. To our men we give honor To their school were they true- For they gave all their best To the White and the Blue. In our halls is a cup ' Tis an emblem of gain Three times reached the goal That led on to fame. The Evans- Jensen cup For yelling is ours, We ' ve won — glad to say, One thing from high powers. Then our interests we turned To our one annual play Seven Chances its name — Real success crowned its day To repeat it, the call came We did answer the call And again did we play To the pleasure of all. On the track and the court Our men will gain fame Push onward, press onward As in past, now the same. Dame Fortune smile on us And our pleasure not mar — That the State we may win Spread our glory afar. Junior Prom — thee we hail As the best of the year. That aught can surpass thee, We have nothing to fear. Gliding here, dashing there Pretty belles, handsome beaus. Of its beauty, its grace Not half can be told. From our halls, worthy Seniors Will go to far realms. We ' ll grow, and we ' ll prosper And bring glory to them. All the future holds treasures And pleasures in store For all who do enter The Y High School door. y 5 1 U Mary Holbrook Daisey Rappleye tubou hettig BERNiCE Rappleye Alma Nielson Merlin Broadhead Aller Levanger Walter Hiller Olive Warner Inez Durrant Drayton Nuttall Helen brown Fern Burch 11 eanor Smith Allie Hain Louise Swenson Harry Merrill Alma nielson josephine sowards Elmer jacobsen CAROLINE Hansen WiLLMA Boyle Owen Jensen Leona White Marcia Osmond 152 genevieve sackftt Mary Dunkley Myron g.

Y. U. When two Freshies first came and asked Hayes for a card They found it not easy to read, but quite hard. For one asked, What means this, when it says here ' three quarters ' ? Why seventy-five cents. Can ' t you read? You big tortoise! ' One week passed full of greeting and wrong registration. From going to classes we got consolation. Yet this tranquil peace was not to last long, For out flashed green caps, which to Freshies belonged. After one night of dancing and handshaking gay. The strong youths who survived rose at break of the day And Mount Timpanogos they started to climb. While those who stayed home missed a whale of a time. Pardoe flashed the first play, We ' ve Got to Have Money, Which struck all the students as being quite funny. But on the next day o ' er our face a cloud came When the Cougars got beat in the C. Teacher ' s game. We wonder what stude could forget the great day When the Aggies were held by the Cougars at bay. In that killing and thrilling Founder ' s Day game, Which for us predicted new glory and fame. Right along with the swing of the formal dance talk Came the classes with new stuff in which they would walk. The seniors like patriots in the white and the blue. With the other class ' dress made a real striking view. But the shock of class costumes was not to last long. For the Young Cougar team started on a new song. They walloped the Teachers by a thirty — O score, While the Senior Court sentenced Frosh as ne ' er before. Monday morning the students were told how to vote, A service we thought the school would not promote. But the uppers, not bothered, held great celebration By giving a Kermess of all the great nations. On the day after Minick the students all rushed To the old Cummings field to see Utah get crushfd. And although they would liked to have brought home the bacon. The fact that they scored was a big consolation. The students returned from the game broke, and found The Soph ' s Loan Fund signs, and their salesmen all ' round. And though every stude had to borrow his dollar. They all came across without giving a hollar . The Cross Country Run gave us all a surprise When a Freshie named Bentley walked off with the prize. And all afternoon how the students would run To get home for Thanksgiving and four days of fun. ns ' iF ' 1 he last of the quarter was one grand event. For the Frosh were released from their weeks of torment. Of using back doors and of wearing green caps. And of receiving spats on the backs of their laps. The most of the students were forced to conclude That a few upperclassmen got acting quite crude, When in Freshie assembly they got up as tranced, And followed a guy to the gym where thev danced. But relief from e.xams and class fights came about When they danced with the Frosh till the lights were turned out. And the first quarter ended with everyone glad And as pleased as could be for the fun they had had. The new quarter started as fast as the first. And more text-books, MY! How they drained on the purse. The Stadium Co-op or the regular book store Added sums to the fund, we ' re told, as ne ' er before. The students were thrilled at the annual play Of the Seniors who staged Mrs. Bumpstcad Leigh. On the next night the girls had a regular spree And the time of their lives at the Girls ' Jamboree. The week before Christmas and all through the halls, Not a student escaped hearing Banyan sales calls. The prizes were flashed in the show case with care. In hopes that the salesmen would each get their share. Just before students left for their Christmas vacation. The Banyan as host caused one grand animation. The program at morning and the dance at the night. Topped the whole week off and left everything right. The first of the year started things with a boom. Debaters and hoopsters were found in each room. Working and hoping till things sure did seem That the whole darn bunch would be making the team. The first game of the season gave students a thrill When we beat the old Grads to the finish, but still The sadness came to us on Saturday night When the Apex team beat us in spite of our fight. The boys of the school put on feminine dress And staged Three Y ' s Men which showed real clc crness. While in Logan though Cougars were battling for Y, The Aggies came out with the best of the tie. The students were roused on Saturday night When they heard the old bell whose clang told of the fight And the clash of the Cougars with Redskins and Utes And how Y succeeded in conquering the brutes. The Y Girl Debaters though hard to refute Won from the Aggie but lost to the Ute. At Vivian Park for two complete days The students all reveled on skiis and on sleighs. 159 The Junior Prom seemed to outdo expectation. Its beauty called forth lots of real admiration. Wonderland wove round the students a spell, Till they felt that no other Prom this could excel. Monsieur Beaucaire, the competitive play, Was a real success without dismay. The costumes were gorgeous and settings superb, And some of the actors could really be heard. The fellows who swam on the Cougars ' team. Showed they were better at paddling the stream Than fellows who came from the north and the south. So they brought home the bacon to Y ' s hungry mouth. The last of the quarter gave Banyan full sway, Celebrity contests grew close each day. Each beautiful lady and popular gent Vied for first place. ' Twas some grand event. The Banyan week ended and for this event The program they gave was most excellent. That night at the dance ' mid the prizes and candy The Informal style proved itself very dandy. Elijah carried us back to that day, In the Bible when Ahab and idols held sway. The music was fine, but it failed to inspire The God of Elijah to bring down the fire. The Seniors on Y Day proceeded to climb With some Freshies, all loaded and covered with lime, To the Y for their annual cleaning campaign. And they did the job right, in spite of the rain. The White Mule and Bluebird got into a scrap. The Mule kicked the Bluebird nigh off of the map. But that the Bluebird flew back with fire in his eye, And placed three good men, no one will deny. Rowe, the Track captain, showed all at the meet That at jumping and running he could not be beat. The result was that Y in spite of its size Just missed by an inch of getting the prize. Girl ' s Day! Men? Of course they succumb To the wilv enchantment of smiling Yum Yum . A program, a date, the May Fete and Dance Filled the air and the men with a dizzy romance. Then their Banyans and Tennis, a track meet and hike, And Senior and Honor day all of the like. And every event only stressed the conclusion That This is the Place and not a delusion. And when one looks back at the year with its fun. And thinks of the chums and the friends he has won. He pities the Senior whose four years arc through And envies the Frosh who ' ll be new at Young U.

The Y News has been raised to a new and higher level. This is not said with any intention of depreciating the work of those in charge of the publica- tion in previous years. To those acquainted with the excellent work done in years past, the statement that the work has been raised to a new and higher level will convey an idea of the high standard the publication has attained this year. The success of the paper is due in very large measure to the ability, skill, willing- ness to work, and the sincerity of Gail Plummer, the editor-in-chief. Gail ' s purpose has been to reflect the spirit of the Y and the attitudei of the students. The paper he has edited has been a credit to the B. Y. U., and has truly caught and recorded its unique spirit. Art and skill have been shown in the arrangement of the paper. Fair- ness has been the watchword. Prejudice and bias have had no place in it. The opinions of the students have been sought and printed. The truth has been scrupulously recorded regardless of how some few may have felt with regard to it. The staff was selected on a competitive basis from sixty contestants. Most of ihem had had experience as writers for high school and college publications previous to their appointment to The Y News staff. The tryouts were conducted over a period of four weeks, during which time the articles were submitted under a non de plume. Credit is due the staff for high quality writing, accuracy, and a willingness to cooperate. .,,, 0(X 172 Tin; Y N rws Staff Jesse Simmons Stewart Anderson Bernice Barton Sf ortx Editor Associate Editor Reporter Alberta Scorup Lynn IIayward Glenn S.

CLARKE Business Manaacr The Banyan In this, the This is the Phice edition of the Banyan, we have tried to portray some of the beauty of the glorious country in which we live with a hope that it might tend to heighten the appreciation for what we have, and also to depict some of the high spots in the school year just passed. This year marks the commencement of a new epoch in the history of our school — the commencement of a new fifty years. In harmony with the progress of the institu- tion we have attempted to place the Banyan on a bigger and better scale by enlarging the size of its pages, and broadening the scope of its appeal. We have introduced a number of new features into the book, such as the rather extensive scenic section, enlarged campus and introductory sections, devotional and other sections which come under the divisional heading, Features, autograph and some other additions that will be noticed upon perusal of the book. In order to make room for these new features it became necessary to cut down some of the others which have re- ceived more space in past editions of the Banyan. However, we have attempted to give each activity a relatively proportionate amount of space. We hope that some of the ]o that the staff has experienced in building this book may be felt by the readers of it. J!!: i N ' -i „A- ■- ' ■ 174 I ! TiiL Banyan Stafi Ruth christi;nskn Decotional L.

MADSEN ' BL ISS FINLAYSON Legrande Anderson Lawrence Lee The Banyan Quartet Yes sir, wonderful little quartet that! Being just as modest as we can, vet we must, in fairness to the universal opinion relative to the organization, say this much for it. Otherwise someone is sure to feel hurt. Coming into existence in time to make its debut into society during the second devotional program given by The Banyan, the Quartet has had a season of exceptional success. It has appeared in places varying from the sands of the sea-shore to the Athenian rostrum of a city park; it has wafted its melodious harmonies through the ethereal spaces via K S L, cleaning the atmosphere of all static; it has traveled far and wide but it hasn ' t made a penny with its boom, zing, zings. (The latter comment is dedicated to the Male Glee Club.) But you have not heard the last of the Banyan Quartet. If you are fortunate enough to travel through the parks of Southern Utah and Arizona this summer, we shall favor you (if you make special request) with Spring Time in the Rockies — as revised by Pratt Bethers — and perhaps with another song or two. So long until then. Aj ' K . r ' 176 Forensics 177 . ' - i I I m Melvin Strong Forensic Manager ASAhL C. LAMbhKl Chairman Debating Council The Forensic Year The Forensic season of 1926-27 set a standard of achievement which coming years will find most difficult to surpass, or even to equal. To no one doer can credit for this record be laid, but certain individuals are responsible in a great part for the unusual results of the year. The work of the debating council including A. C. Lambert, chair- man. Dr. W. J. Snow, J. C. Swenson, and Elmer Miller, must be noted at the outset. The support of the student body and the general public has been gratifying mdeed, and has been no small factor in determining the success of the year ' s work. The new attitude adopted toward debating has been a contribution of the past season which will be of permanent value. The old idea of debating as a formal argumentative contest, in which teams won victory or suffered defeat according to set and technical rules of judging, has given way very largely to a less stereotype attitude toward the activity of public discussion. The idea of formal victory has been replaced in most instances by the desire and the attempt of speakers to bring the audi- ence to their personal view of the question, and in this thundering argument has given way to the more entertaining and enjoyable use of wit, of elegance, of erudi- tion, of logic. In the unusual intercollegiate debates presented during the season, this new attitude has been uppermost. Even if distinctions could be claimed on no other grounds, the variety of debates presented during the past year would mark the year of 1926-27 as outstanding. The series of debates with Wyoming, Idaho, Montana on the liquor question proved to be of current interest to the general public. The debate with Colorado marked an epoch in debating at the Y , as it is the first time a women ' s team from outside the state has met B. Y. U. women debaters. This year the Brigham Young University sent a team to California where they engaged in a series of debates with universities on the coast. The University of Southern California paid us a return visit, the subject of Mussolini as benefactor to Italy being argued. As is the custom each year the Brigham Young University men ' s and women ' s triangular debates were staged with the U. of U. and the U. A. C. Great interest and en- thusiasm were shown in these debates, because the subjects discussed were of current concern, and also because decisions were given. The effect of this remarkable series of contests has been to arouse unprecedented interest among the general public, and to win the support of the students to the activity. ,;(!V-vS5: 1-S LEON EVANS WlI.LARD H. CLARKE RAYMOND B. HOLBROOK The California Sympossia The season of debating for the Young University was formally opened Friday, January 28, 1927, when Young University represented lay Edgar Fuller and Don Cluff met the Occidental College debaters, Mr. Tiyler and Mr. Krienler. The subject of debate was Resolved: That this house condemn the present governmental tendency to restrict free speech, press and assemblage. It appeared that the men from the Y had the matter in hand better than their friends from the Coast although their delivery was not as smooth. The debate however was informal, so there was no decision rendered. March 12, in College Hall the question, Resolved: That Mussolini is a bene- factor to Italy, was very well discussed by the representatives of the University of Southern California and the B. Y. U. Mr. Hendley and Mr. Sagertscn upheld the af- firmative for California while W ' illard H. Clarke and Raymond Holbrook handled the negative for the Young University. The debate was non-decision with an open forum discussion after. The gentlemen from California maintained that the Italian dictator was a bene- factor t o his countrv ' because he had stabalized its government and financial institutions and had made Italy a recognized world power. The local artists claimed that he had harmed the individual rights of citizens, socially, economically, and politically, and that this harm far outweighed the good he had done, therefore he was a malefactor to his country. The debate was well attended and was enjoyed by all present. The B. Y. U. debating team, Sherman Christensen and Leon Evans, accompanied by Coach A. C. Lambert left Provo for Los Angeles on March 13, 1927. In Los Angeles they met Occidental College and the University of Southern Cali- fornia on the question Resolved: That Mussolini is a benefactor to Italy. Both debates were of the open forum, non-decision type. The audiences were very good and the debaters considered that the contests were successful. At Stockton the debate was on the same question as at Los Angeles and was of the non-decision type. The Y News reported that the team neglected to send in reports of the debates but it is well known that non-decision contests are always won by the team that is doing the reporting so the comment was unnecessary. The trip into the California domains did much to bring the Colleges there into closer fellowship with the B. Y. U. It is to be hoped that the Y will even more extensively broaden her relationships in this activity next year. ! 3 ijy MtLMN Strong Ri ss FUjMire Glenn Dickson BRIGHAM YOUNG UNIVERSITY vs. UNIVERSITY OF WYOMING The afternoon of Februar ' 18, DeAlcon Partridge and Glenn Dickson representing the B. Y. U., met the University of Wyoming in College Hall, on the question, Re- solved: That the Volstead Act should be so modified as to permit the sale of light wine and beer. The popularity and versatility of the question itself caused wide-spread interest in this deb,ite, and gave the participants a chance for some very clever work. The proposition was well handled by both teams. This debate was conducted in the new style. Any person in the audience was permitted to ask the debaters questions after the main discussion. No decision. BRIGHAM YOUNG UNIVERSITY vs. MONTANA STATE COLLEGE The B. ' i . U forensic artists, Ross Pugmire and Elroy Nelson failed to convince more than one of the three judges that we should not legalize the sale of light wine and beer, in a discussion with the Montana State College of Bozeman, held in College Hall, March 7. The Montana boys, Joe Livers and Henr - Gardner, brought a verv interesting new argument into the arena. Their main contention was, that prohibition in its present form was successful in the major part of the United States, but that there was a need for a change in fifteen states, and light wine and beer was the logical remedy for the situation. This was an unexpected attack with which the locals were unable to cope. The debate was interesting from the first speech to the last rebuttal, both teams being .ible to handle themselves on the platform to advantage. BRIGHAM YOUNG UNIVERSITY vs. IDAHO The B. Y. U. platform artists, Don Cluff and Glenn Dickson were successful in up- holding the negative side of the question, Resolved: That the 18th Amendment should be so modified as to permit the sale of light wine and beer, against the team repre- senting the University of Idaho. The debate took place in College Hall on March 11. The Idaho team, Warren J. Montgomery and Loel Simmons, attempted verv clever- ly to shift the burden of proof by saying that the locals had to show how the prohibition law in its present form could be enforced. The B. Y. U. men came back and showed very plainly that the burden of proof still rested with the affirmative, and that they had to show that modification of the law would remedy the situation. This debate marked the opening of forensic relationship between the two schools. v.. - ISO REED Morrill DnALToN Partridge Elroy Nelson MEN ' S TRIANGLE DEBATES The Men ' s triangle debates between the U. of U., U. A. C. and B. Y. U., were held on I ' ebruary 8, 1927. The question for these debates this year was, Resolved: That this house condemn the present tendency to encroach upon free speech, press, and assemblage. The Y affirmative team, Sherman Christensen and Leon Evans met the U. of U. m College Hall. Sherman and Leon successfully upheld the affirmative side of the freedom of speech question. Profes!:or Peterson of the Agricultural College in his decision said that the debate was very good from the standpoint of delivery, repose of speakers and from fairness of dealing with the question. The negative team, Melvin Strong and Raymond Holbrook accompanied by A. C. Lambert represented the Y at Logan. The one man judge, John K. Edmunds, from the U. of U. rendered the decision in favor of the A. C. All three negative teams in the triangle debates traveled and were defeated, conse- quently all the affirmative teams won at home. Elence the audience in each case was satisfied. l: i. i ORATORICAL CONTESTS International Good Will or General World Peace, was the subject for the Rotary Club Oratorical Contest which, prior to this year, was known as the Levan Oratorical Contest. There was a great deal of enthusiasm worked up for this event. The final contest was held December IS when the winner of the medal. Reed Morrill, gave his oration. Reed was also successful in winning from a large field the right to represent the Y in the Rocky Mountain Oratorical contest, staged at Laramie, Wyoming. He brought home third place honors. The Irvine Oratorical Contest was hold lebruarv H. Elroy Nelson and De Alton Partridge participated in the finals of it. Mr. Nelson ' s subject was East is East and West is West. He treated the labor problems in the Hawaiian Islands. Utah, the Wealth of the West, was the subject of Mr. Partridge ' s oration. He dealt with the resources in Utah and their conservation. Both speeches were well given. Mr. Nelson was declared the winner and received the medal given by Mr. R. R. Irvine, Jr. Patriotism was the theme for the Jex Oratorical Contest this year. DeAlton Partridge and Thomas Reynolds were the final contestants. Mr. Partridge spoke on The New Patriotism. The subject of Mr. Reynold ' s speech was Love of Country. Both speeches were well organized and delivered. Mr. Partridge won the decision. ISI iin Ada Anderson Catherine Eyring [tSlHER HGGERISEN WOMEN ' S TRIANGLE DEBATES The question for the women ' s triangle debates between U. of U., U. A. C, and B. Y. U., was, Resolved: That fraternities and sororities be abolished from American Colleges. The Y University affirmatixe team consisting of Esther Eggertsen, Catherine Eyring, and Ada Anderson, were victorious over the Agricultural College negative team in a debate staged in College Hall, February 1. The judge in making his decision said that the speeches of the Y team were far better than their rebuttals while the opposite thing was true of the A. C. debaters. The negative team consisting of Ethel Lowry, Mary Graham, and Marie Hacking, debated the U. of U., in Salt Lake City, February 1. The decision was given to the U. of U., by a slight margin because of general effectiveness in presenting the case. BRIGHAM YOUNG UNIVERSITY VS. COLORADO The Y was represented by Ethel Lowry and Mary Graham in a debate with the University of Colorado in College Hall, April 1. This was the first time a women ' s team from outside of the state has met Brigham Young University women debaters. Colorado, upholding the affirmative, was able to carry away a three-judge decision on the question: Resolved: That the modern tendency of m.irried women to follow gainful occupations outside of the home is objectionable. ii, Ethel Lowry Mary Graham Marie Hacking 182 C.M USIC 1S3 ; . m MLLS ' IN MnXER Music Manager Florence Jepperson Madsen Head of Music Department The Music Year Each branch of the music department has h id almost unprecedented success this year. Under the very professional baton of Professor Florence J. Madsen, the combined choral and ladies ' glee club work attained a perfection of art entirely consistent with her exceptional ability and training. Mrs. Madsen brings to her work a background of training unsurpassed by any in her line, including degrees of Bachelor and Master of Music, from the Chicago Musical Col- lege and numerous certifications from some of the best schools and most noted teachers of the day, including the New England Conservatory of Music — from which she received a diploma with high honors — Elerbert Witherspoon, Victor Harris and others. Companioning her theo- retical training, Mrs. Madsen has a record of practical achievement which but few ever attain. She has been contralto soloist for some of the finest organizations and churches in the east, in- cluding the Old South Church, the Apollo Club, Handel and Haydn Society and the St. Ce- celia Society, all of Boston, and the Musicians Club of New York. Professor Florence J. Madsen has a combined training in theory and practice that college instructors in other lines might well emulate. In Professor Franklin Madsen, the Male Glee Club has had an efficiently exacting director. Taking at the beginning of the year a small group of inexperienced and untrained singers, he developed an organization of sixty voices which was unexcelled by any college glee club in the entire region, notwithstanding the fact that other colleges pick their voices, while here any stu- dent is eligible to membership regardless of his musical inaptitude. Being ambitious to place the musical curriculum of the B. Y. U. on a truly College standard. Professor Madsen has been most zealous in securing the technical training that would enable him so to do. During his seven years at the B. Y. U. he has not only done extensive work in his own line, but he has branched out into other scholastic fields as well, taking out his A. B. and doing work which in the near future will entitle him to a M. A. Musically, Professor Madsen has covered a scope of training which is phenomenal in its breadth. Commencing his musical training in 1912, he has since taken out certificates and degrees from the most outstanding studios and colleges in America and Europe, among which might be mentioned the New England Conservatory of Music of Boston, the Royal College of Music, the Smith, Borland, and Kitson Music studios of London; the Brancour, Cloez, Plamandon, Guyot, Robert, and the Buisson studios of Paris; the Lustman Studio of Berlin; the Pietro Studio of Rome; and the Chicago Musical College — from the latter receiving the degrees of Bachelor and Master of Music, and Bachelor of Music Education. This background of technical training combined with his varied practical experience places Pro- _ ? 1S4 ■(.s Mam CjII I Ci.uii fcssor Madscii among the outstanding musician; and musical instructors of America. Indeed, he together with liis wife, Professor Florence J. Madsen, because of their exceptional achieve- ments, have been appointed members of the faculty of the Chicago Musical College Master Course Session for the coming summer. The B. Y. U. Concert Orchestra under the din-ction of, Professor Le Roy Robertson has un- doubtedly done its finest work this year. On December 5, 1926, the first concert of the season was given in the Stake Tabernacle. A record audience was in attendance and the orchestra gave a splendid account of itself in Beethoven ' s first Symphony and the William Tell Overture. At the Leadership concert Mr. Gustave Buggert, cellist, played Mr. Robertson ' s Spanish Serenade with orchestra. The Light Cavalry Overture by Von Suppe and lighter numbers were also given. On February 28, 1927, the orchestra gave a delightful program including the Peer Gynt Suite by Grieg and Valse Brilliante by Professor Robertson. Master Eugene Jacobsen, the wonderful Utah boy violinist, was the soloist. m Laoifs ' Glee Club 185 I; ' ■ ' J The Band The Male Glee Club from the University oi Utah and the orchestra united in two excellent programs in the spring. One was given in College Hall and the other in the West Side High School auditorium of Salt Lake. The feature number of this concert was the Overture to a Midsummer-night ' s Dream by Mendelssohn. The orchestra gave it a charming reading. Master Jacobsen, as soloist, again won his audience with his exceptional violin playing. In Professor Robertson, the orchestra has a director of rare talent. He graduated from the New England Conservatory of Music with exceptional honors and during his years of practical work, he has achieved success of the highest order. The B. Y. U. Band, directed by Professor Robert Sauer is an organization outstanding among the bands of the state. During the year it has appeared in concerts throughout the state and has broadcasted over the radio on several occasions, receiving as a result, many very compli- mentary comments from a wide territory. The Orchestra 1 186 Oratorio ' ' Elijah The greatest achievement of the music department duruig the year was the successful producing of Ehjah , the famous Mendelssohn Oratorio, as an Opera — dramatized with scenery and costumed. Though the Oratorio as such has been produced in this region before, never before has it been dramatized and produced as an opera. In fact, it is doubtful that this has been achieved by any other college or amateur company. No other undertaking of the Music Department has regular student body mu- been so presumptuous as ■■■ ■■■ V H ' ' awards were given to this and yet no greater ■ ■S Bi BKlBM individual winners success has been attained. The idea of having two casts compete against each other for group and indi- vidual awards proved quite successful. It added con- siderable more interest to the affair and more prestige to the awards. A silver loving cup from the Music Department was awarded the winning cast — this to be an annual award, the one cup to be perpetuated bearing the names of the winning cast each year — and the Music Department Or.vtorio Award Preliminary elimination try-outs were held elimi- nating all but two for each pan. These were grouped into two casts, the lilijah of each com- pany acting as captain. The night for the appear- ance of the respective casts was determined by drawing, the cast headed by Julius Madsen, receiv- ing the first night and Bliss Finlanson ' s group, the second. Nine judges adjudicated the contest. 187 Tiir Winning Cast Elijah .. The Widow Obadiah The Priestess Julius iVIadsen Ahab ..- , _.

Conclusive proof of this (act may be obtained from glancing over the activities of the year. Professor Pardee very appropriately chose We ' ve Got to Have Money for the first play of the season. It was a clever comedy of a young man ' s attempt to win his lady fair and prove himself competent in business as well as in love. The result was that Sherman Christensen proved to Lois Bowen beyond a doubt that he was good in both and ready to care for a wife. A character play, Minick, was chosen for the next production. The interest centers around old man Minick who comes to Chicago to live with his son and daughter- in-law. The habits, ideals, and problems of the younger and older generations were de- lightfully contrasted. Ross Pugmire in the title role did exceptional work. Mrs. Bumpstead Leigh decided to make her mark in society. The senioi ' S pre- sented her with the problems and difficulties she encountered in managing her mother, marrying off her sister, and trying to make them both over into different social beings. The cast was a competent one and the play was well done. Emma Snow directed It under the supervision of Professor Pardoe. The Three Y ' s Men, annual all-boys show, was full of the atmosphere of a college campus and specifically that of the B. Y. U. It was a combination of musical comedy and drama written and directed by Professor Pardoe, the music department aiding in its line. The girls were very charming and knew how to get the desired response from the fellows. A thrill went over the audience as the lights of the library shone out and above it the Y flamed forth. The play was a decided success and kept one in laughter most of the time. The annual competitive play Monsieur Beaucaire, was a beautiful costume play of old London. The climax and finale of the )ear ' s dramatic productions were reached with the presentation of the Theta Alpha Phi play Seventh Heaven. It was the most finished of all the productions. The story is centered around a French sewer rat who is a very remarkable fellow, and a timid, but charming girl. Mary Woolley and Carl Harris were in the leading roles. They, along with Barbara Green and Milton Perkins were the outstanding characters although all of the parts were exceptionally well done. It was a splendid ending for the dramatic year. w. 190 ' ' Monsieur Beaucaire story by BootI) Tarkingtoii Dramatization by Ethel Hale Freeman Annual Competitive Play of Student Body Presented in College Hall, February 2 5 Professor T.

' . ( Football i)i 4 EUGENE L. ROBERTS Director of Athletics Charles j. hart Assistant Director of Athletics Athletic Staff The best reason for the good showing the Brigham Young university has made during its recent seasons of athletic conquest has been, in the minds of critics, the able direction the coaching staff has given to the diversified and usually inexperienced material. Director Eugene Lusk Roberts served in 1926-27 his seventeenth year in the ath- letic department, being absent only one year since 1909, that being the year 1924-25 when he was given leave of absence to take over the directorship of the magnificent Weber gymnasium at Ogden. He is not only an able-bodied, capable coach of athletic activities, but has a complete knowledge of all phases of physical training. He has been known for his clean training practices and his clever ideas throughout the Rocky Mountain conference. Charles J. Hart, coach of football, and track, has ably directed these phases of the athletic system with the aid of Roberts during the past two years, being ap- pointed to the position of coach from Teton high school at Driggs, Idaho, where he was coach for two years. Hart was previously known as a stellar track man at the Utah Agricultural College. At this institution, he not only starred in the two-mile run, cross-country runs, and made a position as all-conference end in football, but took an active interest in all phases of athletics, adopting physical education as his major. The Frosh and the Varsity lines have received very valuable aid from part-time Coach Philbrook Jackson, all-conference tackle of Big Ten, three-year letter man, captain, and favorite of Stagg, his coach at Chicago. Coaches Leaf and Webb, mentioned further in their departments, have rendered assistance to this staff. ilJl 196 t 4 -  Dick Thorne J % Don Corbett Football Captains Retiring Captain Richard E. Thorne, a junior with one more year of competition ahead of him, is to be comphmented on the way in which he handled his team and in his excellent playing which won for him a place on the Rocky Mountain Conference honor roll. Dick is not only backed up by a good high school and college record in football, but is a friend of every man who comes in contact with him in athletics. Don Corbett, two-letter man in football, and popular man of the institu- tion is the captain-elect for the football season of 1927-28. Don is strictly a Y ' product, having graduated from the Young High School, and spent the past three years in school here. He has been rated very high among critics, and has won a Freshman and two Varsity sweaters. He is a Junior, and should leave a good record in graduation. 197 w Inter-Sectional Game CALIFORNIA GAME, AT PROVO Scare B. ' . L ' . — 0. California — Not taking into consideration some of the accomplishments of the California team, a number of the spectators may have been slightly disappointed in the fact that the inexperienced Cougar team was only able to hold the powerful California Agricultural College eleven to a score of seventeen points. The game was played on the • ' Y ' field under perfect weather conditions and with eight new men in the blue and white jerseys. Both teams were nervous as is usually the case in prc-scason games, par- ticularly when it is the first intcrsectional game for one of the teams. This tenseness was disastrous to the Cougars for it made possible the first score of the Mustangs when Ledercr crossed the line on a sensational end run on the first play after the California team recovered the fumbled kick-off. Not until the fourth quarter, after a place-kick from the Youngsters eight-yard line, and a completed forward pass and a sprint for touchdown by Hussey of California had finished the scoring did the Cougars threaten the visitors ' goal. This however, thcv did twice in the final p:riod. {. r;s !_ , ' Till Tfam in the Makinc, UTAH AGGIE GAME, AT PROVO Score: B. Y. U . 0: U . A. (_ — 1 In its fifth ycir of Confcrincc football, the Brighjm Young University accomplished the feat of holding scoreless the Utah Agricultural College, one-time Conference football champions, and always contenders for the title. The game was played on the Y field October 15. Only in the beginning of the game did it appear that the Aggies would score. Linford barely missing a place-kick after the Aggie offensive had completed a drive to the Young thirty-yard line. From then on play was equal. One sensational moment will be remembered: when Collins broke through center in midfield and raced to within eight yards of a touchdown, only to be overtaken by Gibbs. The Aggie reserve power on the line saved them from defeat. With the Aggies recovering the ball on the fifteen-yard line after a bad kick, and the Cougars recov- ering a blocked kick-off, neither team having the punch to score in a crisis, the Y Founders Dav and Home-coming game came 10 a thrilling close.

Mattxj WESTERN STATES COLLEGE GAME, AT GUNNISON Score: B. Y. U. — iO; V. S. C. — Fighting with a spirit instilled by the first real send-off given a Cougar team in some years, the boys journeyed to Gunnison, Colorado, to score the only triumph of the season over the Western States College, making a score of 30 to 0. Although the game was fast throughout, the Provo team was never in any great danger after the first half, which ended 9-0 in favor of Young. The third period resulted in two additional touchdowns and the fourth completed the Cougars ' scoring with another touchdown. The scoring was done in order by Collins, who made a placement kick and kicked three of the four attempts at points after touchdowns between the bars: Colvin, who intercepted a pass and ran seventy- four yards for a touchdown: Dixon and Knudsen, who crashed through line for one each in the third period: and by Rowe, who broke up Colorado ' s attempt at a passing come-back by intercepting the first one and sprinting almost the length of the field for a six-point counter. Cougar line work was out- standing. O.N ' . ,LD DlXON F.WTON ALE . NDER URLIN blUDULPH KI. IB. LL MCINTOSH Sanky Pare ■Btddie Kim 200 1)1 I I 1 Ui K1-,K AM I Km,|-.-i W ' ll.l AKl) I I MJKI.

Scoring on a break in the first quarter the Bobcats held a safe margin until the final period when they resumed their onslaught to pile up three additional touchdowns. COLORADO TEACHERS GAME, AT GREELEY, COLORADO Score: B. Y. U. — 6: C. T.- -IZ After having the game safely put away as a victory for Young University, a belated rally, featured by the brilliant running of Brown, opposing half-back, and an aerial attack, gave the Colorado Teachers a 12-6 victory, on the Greeley, Colorado, field, October 9. With the score 6-6 at the end of the third period as a result of two dropkicks for Young and a touchdown for Colorado, Young passed to their opponents ' ten-yard line, were held, and defeated by a pass to Brown, who raced through for a touchdown.

Hart Raile The Basketball Year Although the final tallies indicated but one victory for the Cougars in the basket- ball season of 1927, considering the fact that only one first-string man, and he a one- year man, returned to contend for honors on the waxed floor, the showing was very commedable. The majority of the games were lost by small margins or last-minute rallies, one of these fatal rallies coming too late, giving the Youngsters a victory over the Utah team. The first series, played against the Aggies at Logan, resulted in one close 50-47 game, Logan barely winning in the last minutes by stemming a Cougar rally; and one more decisive victory, 62-34 for Logan, the second night. The second series of games will be long remembered as the hair-raising series of repeated ties, closely missed long shots, and last minute defeats, against the Utes in the Y coop on January 28 and 29. A peculiar coincidence will be recalled; the score was 21-15 in favor of Young at the end of the first half, both nights, and the final scores were similar, being 42-39 the first and 37-3 5 the sceond night in favor of Utah. The Montana invasion was a complete disaster, the Mo ntana team of Utah boys completely overwhelming the Cougars and walking away with a 64-37 victory the first and a 49-3 3 victory the second night of play. Close guarding featured the contest the second night resulting in low scores for both teams in contrast to the brilliant offensives and lack of guarding the first night. 204 All Dressi 1) Lr During the second half of the first and the first half of the second games tho Cougars demonstrated their latent ability by scoring as many points as their opponents, but it seems that too much of this ability was latent. After losing their ninth consecutive game on Friday night through the mishap of another last-minute rally, the Church school team paid its tithing with a win of the tenth game, the second of the series played at Salt Lake on Feburary 26 and 27, scoring 40-34 in favor of the Cougars. The Cougars led quite safely throughout the contest until the final minutes of tiie contest. Just before the gun the score was 34-32 for Young when, as usual, Dow began his sensational work by dropping one through from center to tie the score. The necessary five-minute period proved the downfall of the Redskins, Collins scoring a field goal and two foul pitches and Reeves dropping in a double counter to give the Cougars six against nothing for the Utes. Not Quite in the Nude 205 y i O. l k i % WRIGHT IRHL HART SNOW Reeves The Utah Agricultur.il College took the last two games of the season from the Cougars m a series played on the Y gym rectangle March 4 and 5, downing the fight- mg cat organization by scores of 44-3 8 and 52-37 Friday and Saturday respectively. With the first win of the season still fresh in their minds, the entire student body backed the team in this final series with a spirit nothing short of remarkable. Both games were remarkable in that the Cougars outscored and outplayed their opponents in the second periods of the contests, and narrowly missed scoring victories in both contests. Robert ' s comeback was apparent, and it was only a temporary waver- ing m the fma! seconds that spelled defeat for the tenth and eleventh times for the Cougars. o m I o 1 B, SKOUSEN Collins ROWE C. SKOUSEN 20,, n Swimming U)7 mi i The Team The Swimming Year Repeating the performance of 1926, the Young university swimming team scored the only conference victory of the year for the Blue, easily winning their dual meets, and scoring 42 points against a second place of 2 points in the Conference meet. The most outstanding individual athletic representative of the Brigham Young University this year is also a member of the swimming team. His name is Bud Shields, born, reared, and educated thus far in Provo. He is the first man since the days of Larson and Richards (Alma) to be picked to represent the school in national competi- tion. However, because of Freshmen being excluded from the meet, he was barred from competition this year. He holds well over twenty state and conference records, and has beaten the national collegiate t ime in the 440-yard swim and the 220-yard swim. His time in the 220-yard was 2:23, while the winner of the national collegiate meet this year was clocked at 2:26.6. Shields also has to his credit first place victories in the 40-yard free style, 15 0-yard back stroke, 100-yard free style, 200-yard breast stroke, and relays. No small amount of the credit for these victories is due to Coach C. S. Leaf, who has been swimming coach of the Provo High School and the B. Y. U. for some five years. Previous to his coming here from England, neither Provo High School nor Young University had scored creditably in swimming events, while since he has been here, Provo High has taken three consecutive state titles and the Cougars have now won their second Conference victory. Shields, Christopherson, Hasler, Harris, Dangerfield, Booth, and others are strictly products of this remarkable coach. Leaf will likely continue on as coach next year and is expected to bring in another Conference victory, along with the others — which we expect to take in tow next year. 208 OtheT- Sports 209 Mil  -O ' ' Q ' The Team Track Speaking strictly from a futuristic viewpoint, one might say that the track season at Brigham Young was a very successful one. Although the first meet was another characteristic 1926-27 heart-rending two-point defeat, the indications from that meet were rry encouraging. The meet, held April 22, on Y field, was in opposition to the Utah Agricultural College team, last year ' s Conference champions, and the final score was 73 ' j to 71 2 in favor of the Loganites. The score was not decided until the next event to the last one, and it was in this event, the half-mile relay, that a poorly passed baton slowed up the Young team sufficiently to cause them to lose the race. The Cougars redeemed themselves on the last race, however, easily striding the mile relay to victor ' . The impressive feature of the meet was that the Provo team walked off with ten of the seventeen first places, the majority of them by wide margins. This indication shows that the team has a good chance in a State or Conference meet where firsts are the deciding factor. Rowe, captain, scored his usually impressive triumph walking off with a first in the century, furlong, 220-yard hurdles, and the broad jump, giving him twenty points and high point honors. Probably the best performances for Young were Rowe ' s century run in which two watches clocked him at 9 4 5 seconds and two at ten seconds flat, while a fifth was disqualified; and Corbett ' s discus heave of 135 feet. Corbett has thrown the plate 141 feet, exceeding the Conference record by two feet. Another near record was made by Phillips of the Aggies when he tossed the javelin 182 feet, just six feet under the record. Other men who look good for Young are: Bunnell, shot put; ' right, quarter and half-mile runs; Biddulph, high jump; and Miller, furlong man. :ii) m WEBB C. Larsen t. Larson ROYLANCE H. KNUDSON C. KNUDSON CORBETT The Wrestling Year Wrcstlinj; brous lit to Brlgliam Young another of its characteristic 1926 one- point defeats when the Cougar niatmen met the Utah aggregation in the local gym- nasium. One week previous to this meet, the Aggies humbled the local team by a score of 21-9, the same team later taking the Conference title. The score of the meet with Utah was 14-13, and hinged on the decision of the referee in one of the matches. Don Corbett, Clark Larson, and Garn Webb were the best bets in the Utah meet, two of them, Corbett and Larson, winning their matches with falls, while the other two were given the wins on points. The outstanding feature of the entire season was the placing of Clark Larson first in his weight in the State meet, and the two sensational victories of Arnold Roylance, a student from Springville who has unfortunately lost the sight of both eyes. Larson was sent to the Western Division meet at Corvalis, Oregon, but he did not place. Roylance ' s first victory came in the Utah meet when he threw Elmer Gertsch of Utah in an exhibition bout in the remarkable time of two minutes. His second and scoring victory came in the Western Division meet at Logan, in which meet he won his letter. He was matched against a Utah man, who attempted to take advantage ot his disability, opening the match with a lunge at Roylance from the rear. Through some unexplainable method Roylance detected the attack and dodged it only to clamp .1 terrific headlock and body scissors on the man to throw him in one minute and forty-five seconds. Young did not place in the Conference meet, but had Roylance and Larson to represent it as outstanding performers. 211 The Team Tenn IS Surprising critics and the public generally, the Young tennis squad has, at the time of this writing, made fair headway toward a state tennis title. Due to the showing made last year, and the loss of two letter men, not a great deal was expected of the team this year, making the success all the more pleasing. Thus far this season, they have won their two most difficult matches, the home meets — most difficult because the visiting team has the privilege of placing the men. The University of Utah was the first victim, coming down full of confidence and with a brilliant line-up. It must be said that the meet was close, match point several times in the Snow-Buttle — Irvine-Crone match possibly deciding it either way. The Provo boys ' steadiness pulled them through, however, giving them a victory in the fifth set. After winning both doubles. Young was tied when Dixon lost his singles to Blevins, and Gilchrist of Young lost to Hayden of Utah. Buttle brought the match through safely by defeating Irvine in a gruelling singles match. The Utah Aggies, after losing their first meet to Utah came down rather dis- heartened, but showed some fine playing ability. Young repeated the previous week ' s performance in taking both doubles, and added to It by winning Dixon ' s singles, sowing the meet up safely. The two remaining matches will be played at Salt Lake and Logan respectively, and should be victories for Young, the visitors being privileged as explained. This would again place Young in the tennis supremacy which they held for two years precedmg last year. ■ 212 , , «w Dress Parade Women ' s Athletics With the second year of the invitational track meet open to women, basketball competition, and the awarding of four sweaters to outstanding girl performers on a point system, added stimuli have been apparent in the field of women ' s athletics. Basketball and volley ball were played during t he winter months, both on an inter- class and intra-mural basis. The motive, was, however, not to win pennants, but to pro- mote organized athletic activity among the girls. The girls ' track meet created this year perhaps more interest than ever before. Perhaps chiefly because men were allowed to watch it. A number of good performances were recorded, bettering last year ' s considerably. Chief among these were the performances in the hurdle races and in the relays. The archery proved to be one of the most interesting of all the contests, drawing the largest crowd of spectators. An encouraging factor in this year ' s improvement is that .i number of the better performers of this season were the freshman girls. The four girls to receive the sweaters on the activity point system were: Josephine Dougall, 2,200 points; Bessie Iverson, 1,800 points; Remina Larson, 1,800 points; and Helen Mendcnhall, 1,800 points. The points are scored by the number of hours of participation in any of the various sports such as hockey, tennis, swimming, track, basketball, and the like. A maximum of three hundred points is given each quarter, and a minimum of fifteen hundred is allowed before a girl can win a sweater, making it necessary to participate at least five quarters. The awards are given to those who have the highest number of points over and above the qualification requirements. 213 . M : , A:X.

The name of Brigham Young has been recorded into history as one of the greatest colonizers and empire builders of all time. The people which he led across the trackless plains have been vindicated. Through their hard work and frugality a sage brush wilderness has been transformed in to beautiful fields and thriving industries. The pioneer spirit has uncovered untold wealth in the boundless hills. Incomparable resources have been dis- covered and all of it is nestled in the midst of the world ' s most exquisite beauty. Located within a radius of six hundred miles from the point where Brigham Young uttered that memorable phrase, This is the place, are sixty- two national parks and monuments. Many other beauty spots which the government has not yet christened are to be found within this area. And at the very threshold of each of these places happy Mor- mon homes are to be found, whose habitants are sources of inspiration to the stranger who comes within their gates. Indeed. This is the place to come into closer intimacy with God; to learn what man can do through faith in Him. But why should I in my puny way attempt to write about this, when before me stands in memory a man whose fine spirituality has caught the beauty and spirit of it all and committed it to the language of men in the most eloquent of words. I speak of John Stephen McGroarty, a devout enthu- siast of California, author and producer of the Mission Play and writer for the Los Angeles Times, who has told about all of this under the caption: The Mormon Empire. It was my great privilege to be associated with Mr. McGroarty, his wife and good friends in the capacity of guide and chauffeur during thc ' r visit through the parks of Southern Utah during the summer of 1926, and from him came much of the inspiration to attempt this work. Certainly an appreciation for our wonderful homeland not before enjoyed came to me through my association with him. Let me pass on to you who may read these pages some of his spiritual personality which radiates through his writings. You will be made the better through the reading. — Editor. THE MORMON EMPIRE By John Stephen McGroarty in the Los Angeles Times. Sunday Magazine Lately, when I had a loan from God and was on my way to the old blue hills of home in Penn ' s Woods where I was born, I spent a few handfuls of my golden store of time in Utah. It is a place where I had often longed to be — the great Mormon Empire, the vast beauty of which with its thrilling story, had lured and fascinated me this long time since. I have already related in the synagogue, as best I could — yet feeling so very futile about it — the wonders of Zion with its stupendous temples and gleaming domes and I have told the strange tale of the Red City that Bryce, the Scot, found on a wandering day in a great gash of the Wasatch hills. But, all that is only a little of the far-flung wonderland of Utah. And now, at last. I have crossed its domain from end to end. and am left awed in the over- whelming realization of what it means to be an American. For. this is what you must realize when you cross the continent — that it is a tremendous thing to be an American. When one ' s mind grasps the fact that Utah alone and by itself, is a greater country in every way than all Europe put together, and yet that it is only a small part of our America, after all. then the very stars on the flag take on a brighter glory and its crimson stripes a deeper name. Utah that stands at the back door of California, less than twentv-four hours away by train or auto. Its incalculable wealth within easy reach of our hands, and its indescribable beauty under our very eyes. And. beyond it. stretching limitlessly to the Atlantic, the sweep of the continent. All of it American, and all of it ours. Wherefore, is it not meet and just that we stand bowed before the throne of the Lord God of the ages in reverent mind with grateful hearts? As I traversed Utah, my first thought was of the pioneers. I could not get my mind away from them md all that they had endured to reach a promised land. It is difficult to find its parallel in human history — an exodus before which that of Israel, itself, would seem to pale into in.significance. 21S There was a writing man. the latchcts of whose shoes I could never hope to be worthy to have loosed, who has put this thing into wondrously eloquent words. I read them on a creaking caravan — words writ- ten long ago by the late Judge Goodwin, sometime editor of (he Salt Lake Tribune — and that ran thus; The exodus to Utah was not like any other recorded in history. The exodus to Italy was to a land of sunshine, native fruits and flowers, the march of Xenophons immortal band was a march of fighting men back to their homes; the exodus of the Pilgrims was to a new world of unmeasured possibilities; but the exodus to Utah was a march out of despair to a destination on the unresponsive breast of the desert. The : Utah pioneers had been tossed out of civilization into the wilderness, and on the outer gate of that civiliza- tion a flaming sword of hate had been placed which turned every way against them. All ties of the past had been sundered. They were so poor that their utmost hope was to secure the merest necessities of life. If ever a dream of anything like comfort or luxuries came to them, they made a grave in their hearts for that dream and buried it that it might not longer vex them. This is what Goodwin said of the Mormon pioneers, and no one will ever say it with more exquisitely poignant touch. And now, three-quarters of a century after, I saw their green farms on the banks of shining rivers, their villages among the trees that their strong hands planted; and I walked the thronged streets of Salt Lake City, the stately capital of the empire that rose from their faith out of desert sands. They that made graves in their hearts to bury dreams of comfort and luxury that it might not longer vex them. ■ lived on to meet the resurrection of those dreams among smiling fields and flower-flamed gardens in the desolation of a wilderness that they made to blossom as the rose. I am not any too well informed as to just what exactly the religious creed of the Mormon Church is that church which once wholly dominated Utah, to a great extent dominates it still. It is something with which I am not concerned. It is a matter for their own consciences, solely. But I do know that the Mor- mon pioneers in Utah were possessed of a tremendous faith There is a sculptured record of that faith erected from enduring stone and bronze in the beautiful gardens of the Tabernacle in Salt Lake City — the exquisite monument of the sea gulls. There is no more wonderful story of human faith than this which is told by the monument of the sea gulls. It was in the year 1848 that the pioneers planted their first crop of grain in the valley of the Great Salt Lake, upon reaching the Promised Land after the untold hardships of the exodus from civilization. The very lives of the settlers depended on the harvest. And the seed that was sown in hope grew and flour- ished until it was at last ready for the scythe. Then, one day. the skies were darkened with endless swarms of marauding crickets that swooped down on the fields, destroying every growing green thing that they touched. The settlers fought them with the strength of despair, but all in vain. Nothing that human power could do was able to beat back the black hordes of the destroyers. And so. not knowing where else to turn, the people fell upon their knees amid the vanishing harvest, and sent up from their weary hearts supplications to God. Immediately, then, came swift answer to their prayers. Looking up, they beheld legions of white- winged gulls, swifter than the winds that bore them, flying from the Great Salt Lake, the sky vibrant with their rescuing cries. They were the fowled Bluchers come to Waterloo. Down upon the crickets the white gulls fell, devouring them even as they had devoured the almost ripened grain. And .so the crop on which life depended was saved. The base of the monument is made eloquent with scenes in bronze that go to make up the story. But the feature of it all that impressed me most was the sculptured legend, the words of which tell that the sea gull monument was erected in grateful remembrance of the mercy of God to the Mormon pioneers. After this, the Mormon Church was assuredly on its way. And it had left its martyrs not only with the grave of its prophet, but in the lonely silences of the hard road it traveled to its Canaan. Whatever your religious convictions may be, or if it be that you have none, you must still, in all honesty, feel a profound admiration for the Mormon people after you have come to know their story. Stand now in the green valley of Salt Lake, clustered with trees, and then realize that when Brigham 119 Young ' s pioneers reached the spot there was but one lone scraggy tree in that vast desolation to greet their eyes. Of what heroic stuff they must have been made not to have been disheartened as they gazed upon that inhos- pitable scene! How perfect must have been their faith as they accepted without a murmur the dictum of their leader when he said This is the place. The promised land of Israel was a land of corn and wine; it flowed with milk and was sweet with honey. It was a land in which a man ' s belly would rejoice. But, to greet the weary hearts, the tired eyes and the aching bodies of the Mormons was this vast desolation. And yet. they accepted it. even gladly. They lighted their camp fires upon the arid wastes and lifted up their voicis in wild, grateful hymns of praise to God amid the unwelcoming and inhospitable hills. Utah is destined to see great days — great days of boundless riches and civic glory. Yet it will not and cannot forget the deathless glory of its pioneers — they who drove the stakes of the commonwealh and reared the rafters of the state. And. in those days that are to be there will doubtless be some carping critic to fi-nd fault and belittle them, and sneer and to laugh, ribalding. above the graves of Brigham Young and his nine- teen wives. But. with all that — which was his own business and something that has nothing to do with his almost unparalleled record as an empire builder — history will be sure to write him down clearly and with- out petty prejudice. As for me. who am as far awav from the Mormons in their religious beliefs and practices as a man can be. they have my profound respect, I would not like to think that I could not grant them the justice that history cannot withhold from them. It staggers the imagination to contemplate what this empire of Utah really is — the empire that the Mor- mon people opened up for the world by their faith and sacrifice and sublime courage. Its natural and still un- developed wealth is so immeasurable and boundless that one does not wonder that Abraham Lincoln in a mo- ment of prophetic vision declared that Utah is the treasure house of the nation There is today unmined coal in Utah sufficient to supply the needs of the entire world for the next hundred years to come, regardless of the most profligate and improvident uses. It has mountains of iron and copper, almost inexhaustible stores of silver, great deposits of gold. It has limestone, petroleum, asphalt and a hundred and one other minerals. It is. indeed, a storehouse of the nation. And it is at the back door of California. It will send us coking coal for the steel mills that we are to build and that will speed their products upon the laden ships to the trade of the Orient and South America. It will supply us with much raw material that we have not ourselves. Needful things that California can telephone for and have delivered to it over night. Nor does this potential commercial alliance of California with Utah stop with the raw materials of the mines. California, it appears clearly, is destined to become the most densely inhabited section of the globe. Its thousand miles of length will be crowded with homes and marts of trade. There will no longer remain lands for the pursuits of agriculture and stock raising, dairying and all that. There will be one vast city from San Diego ' s harbor of the Sun to Sonoma in the X ' allev of the Seven Moons, and far beyond that. But there will still be Utah at the back door. Just now, it is a marvelous experience to ride through the Mormon empire just to see the sheep, alone. You will meet them crossing the high roads in endless droves, their shepherds and the sheep dogs with them. It is always a sight that the heart lingers upon lovingly. One thinks of the sunlit plains and starlit hills of Judea. And the darling dogs that are always so seriously at their task of guardianship. You will love the sheep and the dogs in Utah; and the Morm on shepherds will wave a friendly hail to you as you pass. And it may be that, as you see now and then a black sheep, an old rhyme of childhood will come back to you to find you saying; Ba. ba. black sheep. Have you any wool? Yes sir, yes sir, three bags full. One for the master, one for the dame And one for the little boy that lives in the lane. Likely enough. I have not quoted exactly by the book, and so Mother Goose may be. even now. lifting an accusing finger at me. But. oh. sometimes childhood seems so very far away. -_ f e . 220 As a wind-up of your journey you will perhaps spend some time in Salt Lake City. Nor will it be time lost, though you may say with others that ■ ' all cities are alike. For. it is. after all. true that there arc a half dozen or so beautiful cities in the world. Salt Lake is one of them. And you will be glad that good fortune led your steps within its sunny gates. It is wonderful to think what has been accomplished here during the few short years that have passed since first our parents trcked their weary way to this land. Now we have manufacturing plants of various kinds to make for us almost anything we may wish or need. When we speak of home products we do not confine them to a few things. Most everything is made right here, and we arc happy in the knowledge that this book has been designed, printed, engraved and almost entirely manufactured right here. And now. let me express some little appreciation for what has been done by others in assisting with this work. No success was ever achieved by individual effort alone. Always there has been present aiding forces of some sort. So. in the creating of this book. Represented herein are the combined efforts and interests of many people. Limited space will not permit a complete enumeration of all that each has done, nor will it be possible to even name all who have assisted in one way and another. Yet the book would not have been pos- sible were it not for the faithful and conscientious work of those who ' served behind the lines — those who did the mechanical work and those who at various times gave the encouragement necessary to make a continu- ance of the work seem worth-while. To these we are very grateful though we cannot mention them individually. The problem of securing pictures for the development of our motif was very real and for a time it ap- peared as though it would be necessary for us to abandon our idea because of the cost of getting the kind and number of pictures necessary to successfully develop our idea being prohibitive. Through the great courtesy of D. S. Spencer. Passenger Agent: and Mr. A. V. Peterson, of the publicity department of the Union Pacific Railroad System, the problem was doomed to short consequence. These gentlemen placed at our disposal thousands of beautiful views from which we selected such wonderful pieces as are located on pages 30. . 34. 35, 36, 37, 38, 3 ), 44, and 45. The majority of the small circle views that run through the book in our border scheme were also received from them. At the time Mr. Spencer and Mr. Peterson were so considerately caring for our wants from the Salt Lake office of the Union Pacific. Mr. Jack Bristol, of the Omaha offices. was preparing for shipment to us the collection of wonderful color plates which appear on pages 5. 49. 50. 5 1. 52, 53, 54. 55. 56, 57. 58, and 59. Except where otherwise stated, the descriptive matter which appears under the color plates is taken from the Union Pacific Red Book , so we have very much to be grateful foi to the Union Pacific System. Our appreciation for all these courtesies is very sincere. The other color plates, used as Divisional pages, came to us through the courtesy of the Salt Lake Chamber of Commerce. For the Colorado views that appear on pages 46, 47. and 48, together with a number of the small circle scenes, we are indebted to the courtesy of Mr, Gushing of the Denver ii Rio Grande Western Railway Company. Professor Walter Cottam, of the B. Y. U. Faculty, was very kind in allowing us the use of the Tim- panogos views appearing on pages 25, 26, and 27. and also the scenes on pages 28, and 29. Professor Cottam also furnished a number of the small circle pictures and several of the activity pictures that appear in various places through the book. For the use of other scenic pictures used we offer thanks to Mr. Maurice Cope of the Bryce Canyon service, Mr. Harold Russell of the Zion National Park service and Mr. C. R. Reeves of California. By courtesy of Mr. Galloway Ewing of New York, we were able to secure the splendid pictures herein reproduced of the Banyan Tree, located on the Title Page and on pages 1 I .ind 114. At considerable trouble and expense he was successful in taking these photographs in Calcutta. India Such men as B. F, Grant, General Manager of the Dcseret News, Earl J. Glade. Manager of Radio Station K S L. deserve much credit for the encouragement and inspiration they have so often given as the work has progressed. Enough cannot be said in appreciation for the unstinted cooperation which has been given by Mr 221 C. W. Birkinshaw, Mr. F. V. Schwendiman and the Deseret News staff associated with them. The care they have exercised in an effort to produce a highly commendable job has been very exceptional, indeed. To Mr. Elmer Finch and his very capable staff of engravers we owe much in the way of thanks. More conscientious effort and careful consideration could not be given than the Salt Lake Engraving Company has given to this work. Although handicapped by accidents and troubles to a point of near calamity. Mr. P. S. Ecker. has dem- onstrated an unfailing integrity in the manner in which he fulfilled all his promises connected with the pho- tograph work. Notwithstanding the knowledge he had of obvious loss he kept the quality of his work up to a point of superiority throughout, and we are very grateful to him. indeed. The cooperation received from various agencies within the school, has been very helpful to us. Espe- cially, should Gail Plummer. as Editor of The Y News be mentioned. The question has been asked: •Which member of your staff has been of greatest assistance during the year? ■All of them, was the answer. A more devoted group of people cannot be found than the mem- bers of this year ' s Banyan Staff. From the very beginning they have had their hearts in the work and have performed their tasks most efficiently. They have offered help, consideration, and the kindliest of support at all times, without which this work could not have been completed. Although not a member of the staff, due to membership in other activities, Mr. George K. Lewis, has been of invaluable assistance in advising and in originating and developing the ideas embodied in the sub- division pages, Georkee , as he is fondly known, has done more for the school during his several years here than has most any other several individuals combined. Always at the sacrifice of his own interests to further those of the group at large or the school, he has served in many capacities. The student body as a whole gives thanks and appreciation to Georkee for the unselfish service he has always rendered. To the mothers, wives, and sweethearts of staff members, who. of necessity, have been somewhat neg- lected because of the amount of time taken by the book , we owe thanks. They have been most devoted and loyal. If mention of any others who should be included in these lines, is not made, chalk it up lo the lack of proper concentration caused by the rattle of machinery and the noise of presses, for this has been written while pressmen have waited. Thanks to all. — Editor. The following is the summary of an oration delivered by Brigham H. Roberts on the occasion of the unveiling of the monument erected in honor of the Pioneers on the spot where Brigham Young uttered the words, This is the place, We borrow it as a fitting conclusion to this division with thanks to Mr, Roberts. — Editor. THIS IS THE PLACE Prophecy, this I Inspiration, this! Genius! Who can doubt it when he may behold the confirmation of it in a splendid city and a great commonwealth? Golden words these — ' This is the place. ' Cherish them, fellow citizens — young men and maidens of Utah — make them live now and for the future; and not alone to express material advantages, but for moral worth and spiritual power as well. This is the place. ' not only for material advantages, but for the finer things in life as well: for music, art. and science, for learning and culture: for the development of honor and integrity, in the individual, and in the community life. These are the things of the spirit, they pertain to the people, and the people are of more importance than things. ' Money hath but money ' s value. Virtue is not bought or sold. And a nation ' s wealth is reckoned From her people, not her gold. ' To you all, I commend this view of the words: •• THIS IS THE PLACE. ' 222 Cyyiiscellaneous 223 w I I lin Devotional Exercises One of the essential bases on which the Brigham Young University is founded is, that true rehgion and true education cannot be separated. It is one of the most highly cherished aims of the institution that these two great determiners of human conduct shall receive a sympathetic and correlated treatment. The Devotional exercises play a very important part in the plan by which this aim is fulfilled. At eleven-thirty o ' clock in the morning three times each week the students assemble in College Hall as a student body to participate in these exercises. There they are addressed by men of wide experience and outstanding accomplishments in the various fields of art, literature, religion, science, law, government, business, music, ethics; and the list might be continued almost indefinitely. The privilege of attending these exercises is one of the most valuable privileges which comes to a Brigham Young University student. Many of the most fondly treas- ured memories of college life are results of these hours. They are sources of inspiration and stimulation. The far-famed Y spirit received its birth there; its power has grown there; and from thence its influence has been extended. The student who does not avail himself of the opportunity of attending these meetings and of participating in the inspiration they give is depriving himself of the greatest single force to true education and culture offered at this university. The spirit of the meetings is unique. The inspiration of them is invaluable. The breadth and scope of the information given there is wide and varied. It is the purpose of this section to preserve some of the many valuable and beautiful thoughts expressed in addresses given before the student body during these devotional exercises, and make them readily and conveniently available for the use of the students. Space permits the printing of only a very few of the many wonderful things said. A complete record of them would be a most valuable possession. The following excerpts are samples selected from speeches given during the pasd year. Spurs Happily, the world is full of spurs. The outer world, the inner world, the uni- verse advances under the urge of spurs quite as much as it does under the Lire of interest. The spur of appetite keeps the individual from languishing and the race from becoming extinct. Social spurs accelerate the action of the one to keep pace with the movements of the many. Custom rules savagery and civilization alike with spurs. Education carries a multiplicity of spurs: credits, prizes, badges, diplomas, degrees, etc. Go into any large museum and you will see spurs of great variety in shape and in quality of material. They will range from pure gold to crude iron. Look into the mind and you will find spurs without end — intellectual spurs, moral spurs, spiritual spurs. — From Scnitoncttc n ' ncn by Pvaidcnt Geo. H. Brimhall September 20, 1926 A Prophecy Do not think that this institution has lost its growth. It was founded in faith and it shall never cease growing. University hill will yet be covered with buildings of the institution and I expect to live to see the day. — From speed) gheit by Senator Keed Smoot November 2, 1926 Value of Books There is nothing like making companions early in life with the master minds in 224 literature. Surroundini; every grain of wheat there is a husk which must be penetrated before reaching the ticrnel. So in reading, it is necessary to go through the husk of literature before reaching the kernel. Back of every fiction there is a richer story built around the writer ' s life. Books are tools of inspiration, strength and encouragement if we will but let them be so. — From speech given by Keiereiid jubii E.

Hinckley December 1, 1926 A New Year ' s Wish If I could wish you what I would like to wish you for this year we are just launching upon I should wish you many things, among them new friends but no loss of old ones; success, but only so much of it as you can use to make your spirit stronger and the world happier; health, but that by it your sympathy be not lessened nor your patience shortened; happiness, yet tempered by some shadows to mellow its radiance; a task congenial, but arduous enough to bring the weariness that welcomes rest; and faith such that eternal life becomes a loadstone. The God becomes a father and Jesus Christ an elder brother beckoning you on up. We should not look down on a man for domg a certam kind of work. No matter what a man does, if he does it honorably, if he docs it well, I salute him. — From a speech given by Dr. Adam S. Beniiion January S, 1927 225 Opposition I have chosen as my text words of a character w ith whom you all should be ac- quainted through His teachings: ' It must needs be that opposition comes.

' Weeds are i ' ; I that man may be challenged to industry. Why disease? That man may be challenged to investigation in the line of conquest over disease, not merely that man might suffer. Why disaster? That man may learn; that man may be challenged to provide against and in a measure avert it, control the over-flow of rivers, build against the shaking of earthquakes, and ward off the striking of lightning. Whv the seeming inconsistencies in nature, such as the roaring Colorado through the desert? Whv too much in one place and too little in another. To challenge men l|, I in conquest over nature.

To challenge our sympathy, our generosity. Why the weak? To challenge our helpfulness. Then in conclusion, why opposition? That man may be challenged to action. Then finally, why evil? That good may be challenged to growth. — Scrnioiicttt ' by President Gcori c H. Br inhall Decern In- r n, 1 )26 That Which Counts In Education When you get this great splendid education, the vital question is: Can you use it? This is the first great requirement. And it is the great problem of young American people. You don ' t have to know so much, but if you know how to use j il j what you do know, that is the thing. The good thing in our education is the part we know how to use. If you can just separate the things you can use from the things you can ' t use, that is the important thing in education. A Real Education A real education is that something in this old world which brings a man to the place where he can face the future without fear. — From speech giieit by Cory Hatiks January 12, 1927 Alertness We should keep our eyes open always. It is necessary that we do our part or humanitv stops. There is a challenge to every generation and you are preparing for that challenge. Happiness Happiness comes when you are developing morally, naturally, sanely; and when you are improving the talents with which the Lord has endowed you. 226 h w Security As I lengthen the ropes I must strengthen the stakes. The ropes of this genera- tion are being lengthened more than the ropes of any other generation. I want to emphasize this one point, that you are now enrolled in an institution that is fastening the stakes on which you can anchor hopes, faith and all things of life. When the storms and winds of this modern life attempt to gain your soul you can withstand the temptations. — I ' roji! sJH ' ccl.i ; ncn by W . O. Rohiiisoii January 26, 1927 Making of a Life Students in school are just on the threshold of life and they should live to make their lives more abundant, as Christ meant when He said, T am come that they might have life and have it more abundantly. ' This is the greatest promise made by the Savior and is an echo of all His teachings. Life is the most sacred and precious thing. Students should not prepare for a vocation alone but for life, which, of course, means making a living as a means for making a life. Some of the ends for which people make life are the following: I. That they might exist — this always results in drudgery. 2. That they might have pleasure — which results in unhappiness. 3. That they might have fame — which results in vanity. 4. That they might have wealth — which results in sordidness and disappointment. 5. That they might in the end become like God — which results in character and service. The elements from which we make life are our reactions toward our desires and appetites. Here power to govern is determined. They make or unmake us. They urge but should be controlled. Passion drives but must be directed. Evil always promises to give life but in the end destroys it. ' The thief cometh in the night not to give unto life but to destroy it. ' True life is the realization of the higher virtues. In the morning of vouth with life before you keep yourself unspotted from the sins of life. — From speech gheii by Apostle Dainl O. McKay January 25, 1927 Specialization and Balance Education has become so far specialized that what we have gained in one subject, we have lost in other subjects. Let me impress you with this one thought. Education is a preparation for life. If it is to be really valuable it must have two sides. First, there is the academic side, and secondly, the side which teaches us what we are and gives us a ghmpse of the intuitive side of our natures. Music Music becomes one of the broad adventures of a broad life education. It is not like the arts, and no attempt is here made to discredit the other arts. Music brings about in the mind as well as in the emotions, an appreciation of life we cannot do without. — l- ' roni speech y ii en n I r. Herbert Witherspoon Vehraiiry 2, 1927 227 J The Ogre of Fear We see the attitude of fear in the deaUngs of one nation with another. It enters into the plans of every people. We see the action of fear in the minds of men. It is for us to join with them in removing fear from the world. We look to you, my young friends, because we feel that you have the power; that in light you have seen light; that in this hour of your lives vou will never fear. Faith is never opposing to knowledge, but fear is. God has not given us the spirit of fear, but the power of love and of a sound mind. — Yrom ipccch g ' ncii by Prufcsior Lci i Edgar Yoiitig January 27, 1927 We are moving from one great period to another. I hope we will not leave those things which are worthwhile. Prove all things but hold fast to that which is good. Could I say one word this morning that I would have you remember, it is that with all your getting, get an understanding of the fundamental life; its purpose, and know that all that glitters is not gold. Start each morning with the thought that there is a God. All your doubts will disappear when some crisis comes into your life. Do not forget that there is some of the doctrine of your home and your church that you can never forget. — From speech given by Congressman Don B. Coltoii March 27, 1927 The valley of human happiness is wate red by three streams. They are: The spring of health, the river of helpfulness and the fountain of hope. Three great gifts of Father Time are: Chance, choice and change. The throne of lasting leadership is ascended by three steps: ability, affection and action. The sunset skyline of an ideal life is marked by three peaks: Mount well-bred. Mount well-wed, and Mount well-dead. — ¥roni speech gii en by President George H. Brinihall February 2S, 1927 Our Father has always warned his children of ends which were to come to them. Now is the day of warning. We must rid our skirts of the blood of this generation bv giving them the opportunity of hearing the Gospel. • — Gil en by Apostle Meliin }. Ballard To every man, and in the term I include women also, he, himself is the center of his universe. To him time is yesterday or tomorrow, the past or the future, space is out there in all directions. He is the first cause. You voung men and young women may sway your universe. You may gain immortality. Today is ours. Our opportunity for impressing ourselves upon the universe of which we are the center is here and now. The history of the leader of men teaches that our immortality depends upon the perfection of our love. — Given by Professor H. R. Merrill When President Young gave Karl G. Maeser the manifestation and desire with respect to the institution, among other things he said, Brother Maeser, I want you to go to Provo and establish a church school. I want you to have the spirit of the Lord in all your efforts. Don ' t even undertake to teach anything, not even the multiplica- tion tables, without the Holy Spirit. ' — Giien by Heber C. Iterson January 19, 1927 228 m Alpine Outdoor Theatre Summer School The Summer Sessions at the Brigham Young University are characterized by a spirit of democracy and friendHness, into which snobbery makes no attempt to enter. The spirit of whole-hearted good-fellowship that pervades these sessions is a source of added pleasure and satisfaction to everyone who attends. It is the Y spirit at its best. Espe- cially, there is an intimacy between and among faculty and students which adds to the delight and the profit of the work. Enough pleasure and recreation is InterspeVsed with the work to add a very desirable zest. Provo ' s wonderful location makes it an Ideal place for out-door recreation. Moon light hikes up Mount Timpanogos and to Maple Flat, where the hikers wait to witness the sunrise from the tops of wonderful mountains are indeed rare privileges. The annual summer school hike up Mount Timpanogos is becoming increasingly popular each year. The bonfire program in the natural amphitheater at Aspen Grove the night preceding the annual hike is rapidly becoming iamous. The winding trail, the myriads of colorful wild flowers, the scores of splashing waterfalls, the odor of the pines, the glory of Em- erald Lake, the awe inspiring cliffs and the thrilling slide down the glacier help to im- press the experience of the hike indelibly upon the memory of the participant. Perhaps the most distinctive feature of the summer session is the Alpine Summer School, located well up in the Alpine region in a beautiful Aspen grove at an elevation of 6.800 feet, below a perpetual glacier and a wonderful system of falls and cataracts. The first session, in 1922, was tried as an experiment, but its success was so complete that since then the session has become an annual undertaking. The wonderful opportunities for scientific research in the fields of biology, geology and nature study make the Alpine Summer School a permanent institution. The Alpine School is well organized. Dormi- tories are provided for the women who are under the supervision of the Dean of Women. Meals are served in a dining hall and a central reading room and social center is provided. The social life of the camp is wholesome and educational. The number of students applying for work leading to higher degrees has increased to such an extent that the Summer School is rapidly becoming a center for advanced professional training. 229 I The Invitation Track and Field Meet and Relay Carnival The Invitation Track Meet and Relay Carnival was initiated by the Department of Physical Education in the Spring of 1911 as a part of the annual inter-class track and field meet of the school. At that time invitations were issued to a few Utah County high schools. It was the aim of the department to build up the meet upon a solid foundation, and gradually to extend the invitation list until it should reach all educa- tional institutions in the intermountain country. Thanks to a fine spirit of cooperation and support shown by those in charge of the policies and of the athletics in other schools, the big festival has grown so extensively that its program now consists of more than one hundred events and the number of contestants is considerably more than one thousand. The purpose of the festival is two-fold, first, to bring together for mutual stimula- tion and benefit hundreds of voung athletes from all the intermountain schools and col- leges; second, to give athletic coaches an opportunity to try out large numbers of con- testants under actual conditions of close competition. No team championships are awarded. The events are scheduled as individual championships and medals are awarded to the winners. Thus institutional rivalry is reduced to the minimum while universal participation is encouraged. ( D Arts Course The Arts Course was formerly known as the Lyceum Course. Through it, the University brings eminent artists to the students for their entertainment and educa- tion. The work is under the supervision of Professors John C. Swenson and Herald R. Clark. These men deserve the gratitude and appreciation of the student body for their efforts in bringing these wonderful artists to the school. The high quality of the course may be seen by a glance at the numbers presented. 1. Forrest Lament — Tenor of the Chicago Civic Opera Company. 2. Dr. Arthur Walwyn Evans — Welsh orator. 3. Lew Sorett — Poet of the Wilderness — Professor in Northwestern University. 4. Hans Kindler— World Master Cellist. 5. Cecil Arden — Mezzo-soprano of the Metropolitan Opera Company. 6. May Peterson — Prima Donna Soprano of the Metropolitan Opera Company and formerly of the Opera Comique, Paris. 7. Cherniavsky Trio — World famous artists. 8. The Portia Mansfield Dancers — as a special number. N. : ' -V - 230 . Typing and Shorthand Contest The typing and shorthand contest is held under the auspices of the Department of Office Practice of the College of Commerce, and is under the direct supervision of Pro- fessor A. Rex Johnson. Its growth has been rapid. When it was initiated three years ago only nine schools participated. This year twenty-eight schools and one hundred and forty-one contest- ants took part. Only accredited high schools arc permitted to enter contestants. School and individual awards are made in the various events. By far the most important prize is that offered by the Underwood Typewriter Company, a free trip to New York City given the winner of the first year typewriting contest. This prize was won this year by Miss Beth Christensen of Richfield. Pennants are given by the Brigham Young University, and loving cups by the Utah Power Light Company and the Moun- tain States Bell Telephone Company to the winning teams. Two scholarships are given by the Brigham Young University to the winners in the second year typewriting, and in the shorthand events. In addition the winners receive gold, silver and bronze medals for first, second and third places respectively. The purpose of the contest is to create interest and encourage efficiency in com- mercial subjects among high school students. G ' Dramatic Contest Again the Brigham Young University stepped ahead of the other major colleges of the state, this time to inaugurate the High School one act play Competition. It is to be an annual affair and is sponsored by the Dramatic Art Department of the Uni- versity, under the supervision of Professor T. Earl Pardoe. The purpose of the contest is to encourage the production of one act plays in the high schools, to arouse interest in dramatic productions, to raise the level of high school dramatic productions, and to act as a socializing force to the contestants. Notwithstanding this was the first year of the contest, very remarkable interest was taken in it by the High Schools of the state, twelve of them entering. They are as follows: Provo, Bingham, Tintic, Monroe, Salina, Richfield, Delta, Ephraim, Spanish Fork, Ogden, Uintah Academy and Wasatch Academy. The contest covered three days, March 2 3, 24 and 2 5 and was staged at the B. Y. U. The winning schools were as follows: I ' iis Place — Richfield High School, with the play, The Valiant, coached by Nial Nelson. Second Place — Ephraim High School, with the play, The Girl, coached by Glen Guy man. Third Place — Provo High School, with the play, Two Crooks and a Lady, coached by Mary Woollcy. Fourth Place — Bingham High School, with the play, The Beau of Bath, coached by Helen Candland. 231 ' J Leadership Week The Sixth Annual Leadership Week was held January 24-28, 1927. The results were further tribute to the service which this institution is rendering to the people of the Church, who come from all over the West. The total registered attendance was 1,546, representing 70 stakes of the Church, coming from Utah, Idaho, Oregon, Cali- fornia, Nevada, Arizona, Wyoming, Canada and Mexico. Short courses were given in Drama, Modern Literatiu ' e, Music, Genealogy, Methods of Teaching, Social Work, Psychology, Religious Education, Western History, Farmers Conference, Home Problems, Juvenile Problems, Pageantry, Health, Story Telling for Children, Recreation and Scouting. Attendance throughout the week was well sustained. General Assembly was held daily at 1:30 and was broadcast by remote control over K S L of Salt Lake City. The general assembly speakers included President Heber J. Grant, Elders David O. McKay and Stephen L. Richards, of the Council of the Twelve, Superintendent Adam S. Bennion, Professor Levi Edgar Young, Hon. Milton H. Welling. One of the features of these exercises was two addresses by Edgar Fuller and Ethel Lowry on The Faith of Modern Youth. In addition to the Leadership Week held at Provo, the faculty has assisted with The Southern Idaho District Leadership Week held at Burley, Idaho, and with Leadership institutes in Hinckley, Ferron, Ephraim, Rexburg, and other places. 1 1. . . ■ ,. -,-- -Hii 1 1 • , 1 K, ' M £ r pH 1 B g £S ie«ii£ :.....C. .; H H The Student Body Council-Elect Kathleen Bench Sec.-Treas.

Neither does she w.sh to be concerned about this apparatus for she wants it upon demand, and without any fussing or coaxing. Many years ago Charles F. Kettering asked him- self why it was necessary to get out in the mud to crank his car every time he started it. mat Iiuestion hrousht about the Delco starter, gave us much more pleasurable motoring, made lettering wealthv and finally landed h.m as president of the Cenev.il Motors Uesearch Corporation. The Wilson Heater is the answer to the desire for a fully automatic source of hot water that will not go into discard after short service due to cale. lime or corrosion. Employing the internal- combustion principle and having a perfect counter flow between the products of combustion and the uid to be heated, the efficiency must consequently e igh C.juple with this the fact that heating i i sfanlaneous, so to speak, due to an e.xcept.on- Lr.vlarKe heating surface and more efficient ac- c ellri.Yo ' -n of heat ' transfer, then add tts utter s,m- i.licity of construction, operation and .cleaning, ad its recognizance as the last word in water healers is teund to be rapid and certain. It is estimated the United States uses 2,500 OUU water heaters per annum. The very low cost of manufacture of ' the counterflow ' « ' .-;;!, ' - jjl wiih heaters expensive to construct, means that e-inturiiiE onlv a small percentage of the tota rade, insures- a continual supply of heaters am parts with handsome profits to the manufacturers as well as their dealers.
