May 10, 1871, a vast crowd assembled in Carthage t0 5' lay the cornerstone of the building known as Old Main to the present generation. People from the surrounding community and distinguished visitors from distant parts of the state came for the great event. At noon the women of Carthage served dinner to 3.000 people at the Courthouse Square. Long-before this auspicious day. however. Carthage College had been a dream in the minds of thoughtful men in the Middle West. August 31. 1869. a convention was called at Dixon. Illinois, by authority of the Luth- eran Church of the West. at which time it was resolved to secure a loca- tion and to found a college of high grade. Committees were appointed and a second meeting planned for December, 1869. chiefly for the purpose of receiving bids for the erection of a college building. At this meeting. held in Carthage because of its central geographic location, many towns presented claims for the location of the college and agreed to furnish the necesaary buildings or funds for opening such a school if the Lutheran church would provide the necessary endowment. Perhaps because the convention was meeting here, the site chosen was Carthage. A local board of trustees was selected. and work was begun on the building in July, 1870. The laying of the cornerstone took place May 10, 1371. The four-stoz'y building, 85 by 65 feet. was completed in the autumn of 1872 at a cost of $35,000. On September 5, 1870. Prof. L. F. MA Easterday had opened a pre- paratory school in the Burbank building on the south side of the square. At First there Were only sixteen students but the roll increased to 58 by the end of the year. The next year 84 were enrolled. In the spring of 1872 the school was transferred to the rooms which had been completed in the basement of the College building. 011 February 26. 1873, Pres. D. L. Tressler of Lena, Illinois. was elected Professor of Ancient Languages and also assumed the Presidency of the College. Prof. Easterday became Professor of Mathematics and Astronomy: Rev. 1. M. Richard was Professor of Latin: and I. M. Hel- frich. the Professor of Music. In September 1373, the college opened with 160 students. In 1875 the first class was graduated. President Tressler's death in 1830 led to a period of financial distress and general depression. but the young college survived the storm and has continued to thrive even though progress has been difficult. Mr. Henry Denhatt's generous gifts stimulated the benefactions of others and gradu- ally the resources of the college grew until her present endowment now exceeds $350,000100. hM. B. SCHMIEDESKAMP. Page 15 THE COLLEGIAN petsonalittl . . . Can We acquire It? By Doms OTI'ERBEIN .- ITTLE self denials. little honesties. little passing words of sympathy, 1 little nameless acts of kindness, little silent victories over favorite temptations-these are the silent sylph-like threads of gold which weave themselves together into just the pattern that would mark us with distinction as individuals, Personality-what more is it than distinction? A distinction great enough, appealing enough. lasting enough to cause people to realize its presence. If more of humanity would take time out from its hilarious- worldly living to realize how much of the makings of a personality each of them has in his makeup. what a changed world we'd begin living in. Trials, temptations, disappointments-all would be helps. not hindrances. for they'd be used rightly. They'd not only test the fibers of our char- acters but they would strengthen them as well. Every conquered tempv tation and every trial endured would represent a new find in ourselveSe would make our souls noble: and stronger than ever before. The trouble with most of us today is that we whimper at the slightest sign of dis, content or displeasure-we make ourselves miserable just by thinking about ourselves. about what we want. about what we like, abOut what respect we think others owe us. and about how really good we think we are. Nothing is so miserable as a self-satisfied exceptionalist. Because we do have our times now and then when we honestly feel down-in-the- dumos. as it were we shouldn't just give way to the idea that everything is all over for us. lust remember that even though the sun sets every evening. it does get up again in the morning, as bright and shining as ever. The happiness of our lives depends on the quality of our own thoughts awelll have to guard accordingly To be happy ourselves is a most ef- fectual contribution to the happiness of others. Certainly we can acquire a personalitye'lonly to trust and do our best, and wear as smiling a face as may be for others and ourselves W that was Robert Louis Stevensonls remedy. We'd merit a great deal in remembeiing his words as well as those once uttered by Louisa May Al- cott. Far away there in the sunshine are my highest aspirations I can- not reach them but I can look up to themr see their beauty, and try to follow where they lead. Personalityecertainly you can acquire it. THE COLLEGIAN ?inesse . . . In College Romance ERE we have Finesse in College Romance as told to us by two J r: i who have seemingly learned eone a sophomoreethe other. a senior. Let 5 see what these two interesting personalities have to say on the subjectefirst the sophomore. Mary Louise Dunn: Gather 'round, sister workers of the weaker sex. and see how your 'lineups' compare in this ancient game of snaring the stalwart man. There's no spot in this wide world-revealing romance more than said Carthage College. This locality grows more influential every day in realizing its matrimonail purposes. so if there is a field for such sentimentalism. surely we ought to be eager for self improvement. especially since the competi- tion is certainly keeni Primarily. my modem Minervas, Dorothy Dix and I both agree that a valuable asset to any 'canned' personality is a courageous sense of humor. Even though your worn ears have listened to the same siderspiit' ting ditty for several weeks, don't grit your teeth, avoid undue moaning -laugh uproariously and throw excess pride to the winds. It seems that we women need idiotic tendencies to gain a strong foothold in our rela- tionships with men. i'Then too, it becomes apparent that these objects of our affections require an attentive audience upon many occasions. Even though you may be betraying your pet ideas regarding technological unemployment, the atomic theory or possibly this new fad for shorter skirts. regard the matter from an objective point of view and be mildly acquiescent. Such an attitude will undoubtedly help the poor man in question to retain his self relianCE. Oh yes-a third vastly important step to follow-flatter the man? Strangely enough. I disagree with the trite expression which maintains BETA KAPPA Page 17 THE COLLEGIAN that the surest way to a man's heart is through his stomach. If you ask me. they relish subtle marks of praise far more than supposedly tempting Edibles prepared by 'our own dear hands'. You SEE, when they gain the impression that we are admiring their accomplishments. their importance increases tremendously. One more bit of adviceedonlt ever be foolish enough to follow the previous line of talk. If you can't get your man by being natural and sin- cere. you shouldn't realize any success. If you have an Irish temper. don't hide it by coy agreement; similarly. when you have your Own opin- ions. air them frankly and you'll hnd much more to discusg with him. AE- ter all. if we girls disguise ourselves behind a glittering line of artificiality, the men will never get a chance to know us as we really areeuntil it's too late. And now we hear from our senior. 'lpeople's choice Krenz! tThis is really good, consideringel Of course. opinions may differ. but that is a woman's prerogative. What is of highest interest about the whole affair is the 'method'. Strange that this should be paramount? Not at allt Ah. if only Mark Anthony. Plato. or Edward of Windsor had exercised it. wouldn't things have been different? All because they failed or perhaps didn't fully realize or comprehend the worth of that certain something called 'Hnesse'. How we men have progressed-with so little encouragement in this present day, and all by cultivating a certain stratagem known as economy. Inst think-a short walk of nine or ten blocks and she thinks he's an outu door man; a dime dance and. well, her ears start buzzing; some place to sit while the moon is shining through evergreens and other ears start buzzing: a bottle of Coco Cola and the evening has been a sumess. Re- serve material plays its part. for exampleea double feature picture and a bag of popcorn-this makes him practically 'tops'. Finally the acme of all out artihces. and this we fellows consider as the ace, is the possibility of throwing a lake into the bag of Stratagem. By this time she's ready to meet the folks back home There you are, girls! Not a bad finesse. eh what? No words spoken. no promises exacted lnot even a frat pinl and graduation comes along to shatter your Eondest illusion. LAMBDA SIGMA KAPPA Page 18 l I THE COLLEG IAN 7heit Hit! em?

By ALVIN KDENIG 53E have heard the criticism of educators and clergyman in regard to the religious indifference and moral Iaxness of college under graduates. We have heard too. the voices of condemnation ringing brazenly to high heaven concerning the downright irreligious and immoral conduct of campus co-eds. And yet by what right and by what authority do any of these judge our Iives-usurely they have no Divine authority. If any indictment is to be passed should not we, the students. have some word to say in our defenseeif defense is necessary? Religion as a basic element of education has been given much con- sideration by our faculty 50 that we have every opportunity of seeking out the spiritual things of life. Some of us however. do not avail ourselves of these Opportunities offered by Bible courses. chapel, or by any one of the six churches in Carthage and therefore merit some reproach. but to consider this negligence as immoral or irreligious would be too flagrant an exaggeration. Is it not conceivable that religion may be morally useful without being intellectually sustainable? God made religion. and man made theology. Christ gave us a system of morals. and His religion is the best the world has ever known. but man has introduced many corrupting changes. Souls groping in darkness can- not be made to see the light by any means of maucllin sentimentality or dogmatic creed. 50 it is with us. We have nature to teach us lessons 05 good and proper living as well as the sublime truths of the Universe. In the stillness of the night we may stand on Evergreen walk, looking up into an unclouded sky and watch the stars coming forth in sublimity. pomp, and majesty. Yes. the stars exercisa a moral influence over us. CHI DELTA KAPPA Page 23 THE COLLEGIAN and who can readily stray into paths of immorality if he has been ac- customed to live amidst such thoughts and feelings? When our hearts and minds have been cleansed and prepared by such silent communions with the Ultimate it will be easier for Christ to enter in. Then too, we embody a religious truth in our co-operation and brotherhood, one with another. through study. work. sports. and all the other activities which comprise Our college existence. Brotherhood is a. fact of life here at Carthage. A helping hand outstretched to lift up a fellow student fallen by the way: an encouraging word to a classmate weary of striving; a hand-clasp, or a smile. or even a hearty slap on a slumped shoulder, that will cause one' head to be lifted to the stars again: these are the workings of brotherhood and the Golden Rule which we hava. though perhaps unconsciously. committed to life. We, as the new generation. still believe in one God, the creator of the universe. and that He governs it we have no doubt. But we are in- clined to think that He is not so much concerned with the occasional hi- larious riotings of students. the smoking and drinking experimentally in- dulged in, or even the somewhat promiscuous lovevmaking ta natural by- product of co-educationl. as much as He is concerned with the disease and war and want. the prostitution and hypocrisy of the older generation. We realize that to stay among the ruins of yesterday will bring no ad- vancement or progression to either the individual or the race. Therefore. all our noblest thoughts. acts and aspirations resolve themselves into these words, Up and onward for everrnore.

My guess is that you've already heard of the Great American Bandwagon and perhaps the Great American Hamburgerl'. This. fellow students, is to be a brazen denunciation of the almighty Great American Dance - -or hop, leap, jump. shuffle. or whatvhave-you. Realiz- ing that such a treatise as this is in direct opposition to the forces of tradi- tion and custom, I'm hereby assuming all responsibility and taking the chance Of being annihilated as an extremist. gl-IERE is one American institution above all others that needs satiriz- t j Milton certainly started something in l;L'Allegrol, when he wrote, Come and trip it as you go. on the light fantastic toe . Today this might be interpreted to mean. Come and swing it as you go . Just what one is supposed to swing is a mystery which we. who are so miserably un- informed. have not been able to determine as yet. However, Milton con- tinues by saying. And in thy right hand lead with thee the mountain nymph, sweet liberty . which in the modem idiom means. And in thy two arms icheek to cheekl lead with thee thy sweet petite . Oh, Mil- ton, if only thou eouldst see us now! Here is a familiar announcement: Stag 50c. drag 30c . This inv variably provokes a laugh. which I find expedient to stifle, lest I be the recipient of diverse scornful glances. I take this to mean that the drag is worth about minus twenty cents. This indeed is deplorable. Somev thing should be done about it. Someone should exert a more active in- fluence in behalf of the poor femme, who if not protected against a perr feetly atrophying evening at home by a twenty'eent bribe. would be left out in the cold againeor still . The Great American Danceh today seems best lubricated by the utterances of muffled trumpets, stuttering saxaphones. and the like-called ilswing music. Stokowski, conductor of the Philadelphia Symphony Orchestra. after hearing it for the first time, exclaimed that he had never heard anything like it before. Poor man. it'll be hard on him these next few years. This noble temple of the dance is a thing that must not vanish from the map of North America. We must foster and protect it as representa- tive of American sanity. eIOSEPHINE LARSON. Page 25 mwmammamgmgam$$aammamaaemwaamawmawmwmagmmaaema$$ammmg$awwawa 1. 5-35. 9.3? 1: GI?

He was a small manebut what he lacked in size he bal- - -t anced in his relentless, driving ambition as was evidenced by his rise from poverty and ignorance to his present position-- wellvbuilt. nearing fifty. Greyvblue eyes set below a pair of dark bushy eye-brows indicated a stern and irrevocable nature; small pug nose. narrow thin lips and a Hrmvset jaw were indicative of forcefulness and confidence. When he smiled, which was only on the rarest occasions, his sympathetic and kind nature shone through the hard. cold exterior which eleven years as warden of Newgate Penitentiary had given him. Usually the warden was neat in dress but to-night his clothes were in wild disarray-Arumpled hair, shirt wrinkled and opened at the neck, neck-tie rumpled and knotted. Stopping before the broad. high. barred window he Hicked the half-smoked cigarette out into the night. He saw its red tip streak rapidly through the night, saw it light and emit a shower of bright sparks, then saw it fade and die in the darkness. I' wish I didn't have to do this . he was mutteringias he returned to his swivel chair. Morbid thoughts were surging and ebbing thr0ugh the mind of the warden threatening to dominate hi5 otherwise steady sure- mindedness. 'lHe has to go lcause he didn't have a lawyer crooked enough to cheat for him. but they give guys like Cardozzi fourteen years. That's Justice. He laughed bitterly and ironically I wish to Hell I were governor. Kids like Daegert would never see the inside of the death chamber and guys like Cardozzi would get more than fourteen years. Dawes lit another cigarette and again walked to the window. Almost like a feudal lord Dawes stood surveying his domain. From the Hood- lamps in the court he could see the walls which enclosed Newrgate Peni- tentary. a tomb for the living dead. Work shops. stoterhouses, cell blocks, Hagged stone recreation yard spread themselves in meagre pano- rama within the narrow confines of the forbidding, all-enclosing. allvex- eluding walls. They cast deep shadows in whose sable depths the warden could visualize the legal murder he was about to administer. Will midnight ever come? he asked the silent walls. Too many nights like this would drive me nuts! His soliloquy was interrupted by Father Groetie. an old. grey-headed man who had been connected with the prison for almost forty years. He wanted to be alone. Warden. so I left. He told me eVerything before I left. You mean the true story? Yes. He said there was no point in keeping it a secret any longer. You know Daegert told. the court that he owed a huge debt to Stuart, and that he killed him because he was being pressed for the money. That. Page 27 THE COLLEGIAN Warden. was just a story Quite logical. Father. Yes. but the court didn't know that Miss Bancroft was Daegert's fiancee. t'So that's it, eh! At that hunting lodge Daegert caught Stuart trying to force hi5 at- tentions upon Miss Bancroft. Words led to blows and in the scramble Daegert shot Stuart. Because he didn't want to embarrass her in public. Daegert neglected to tell this story. He asked again about reprieve. Have you had any news? None at all. Father. Does he have any chance? I'm afraid he doesn't His case was carried to the higher courts and even there his deed was considered worthy of death. Yes. but with what we know nowe But it isn't within my jurisdiction to postpone an execution. IE I could I'd give him both liie and freedom. Are you going to visit him before he goes in, Warden? Yes. He only has thirtyvhve minutes. All right. lefs 90. Through the cold silent corriders the two men walked silently. each plunged in thought. News? cried Daegert as the two reached the cell door, opened it. and entered. Not yet, son. Keep up courage. There was something about the death cells which instantly lowered the hopes of the inmates. Nine ceIIs. built in a semi-circle, faced the door Which lead to the death chamber. the door through which the condemned took their last walk. The cells themselves were as naked as the souls that waited an inevitable death and that writhed in the agony of that waita ing. Bare wooden bench. one chair, and a small table comprised the furnishings of each cell. It was conducive to fear and despair not un- Hinching courage. Some had waited, justly paying for their deeds; others. victims of uncontrollable circumstance, waited to pay far in excess E0: the deeds they had committed. n I'm not afraid. but I understand. Son. I thought he got what he deserved. I avenged myself of the in- justice he dealt to me and for the dishonor he showed to my fiancee. I l l THE COLLEGIAN guess I forgot the consequences. Father. I don't want to go yet. He wiped a tear from his eye. Be brave. Boy. be brave, comforted the warden. It's all right for you to say that. You should worry. You're not waiting for something you can't escape. You don,t have to sit in cold sweat and in mental agony while you wait for something you don't want. It's Hell. As he Spoke he clutched at his breast and a wry look flashed across his face. What's wrong? the warden asked as he noticed the boy's action. Nothing that matters now, the boy bitterly replied. My heartls weak. Has Ieanne come? No. not yet. Do they always forsake a condemned man like this? I killed him for what he did to her and now she Oh. this damned waiting! His jaw set, a strange look entered his eye as he pleaded. Take me now. Warden. Get it over with! I must abide by the law. Son. Pray to God that He forgive you sin, Son, said the priest. In Him shall you find consolation. Daegert flung himself disconsolately on the cot. As he lay there his boyishness was accentuated by the tired look that crept across his face. Anything but death, he thought. I had had h0p85 of leaving same- thing behind for which I would be remembered and revered. I don't want to die yet. Wonder what it's like. If only 1 could be reprieved. Would he commit another crime if he were given life and liberty? I'd gamble he wouldn't, the warden thought. I pray to God that he be given his life. But if He wills it not. may He be generous and merciful to his soul. the priest thought. A prison attendant disturbed the Warden with, Phone for you. sir. Thanks. Wait until I get back. Daegert waited tensely, strained with anxiety. When the Warden returned. Daegert stood clutching the bars of his cell-dark hair in disorder; eyes burning with an expectant, hopeful light. The voice of the Warden rang with relief as he exclaimed: Not only reprieve but mitigation of sentence. You can get out in ten years if you're a good boy. Jeanne Bancroft explained to the governor. That's why. I'm glad someone thinks the same way I do. he said as he slumped to the floor. I didnt want His body relaxed. HI-Ie's dead. said the doctor after examining the body.

Bread and Wine , was quite startling although people had been hoping for it for several years. k 4' The truth of the situation is this: no foreigner knew or had access to the facts. and no native Italian dared write such a book. i'Bread and Wine deals with the peasant class of Italy. their economic condition. and their reaction to the present regime. This part of the book. which forms a background for a central character. resembles Red Bread . the story of the Russian peasantry written by Maurice Hindus during the first Five Year Plan. Bread and Wine . however is more than a mere current picture. It has as a central character, the determined revoluv tionary. Pietro Spine. In this character are bits of autobiography of the author. Salome himself is a champion of liberty, freedom of thought and freedom of trade He stayed in Italy until he was in danger of being arrested for participation in revolutionary groups. The book was written just over the border in Switzerland. The story opens as an old priest, Don Benedetto, is talking with two of his former pupils. both of whom are empioyed by the government. The priest is not in sympathy with the dictatorship. but he lives quietly on his little plot of ground and says little except to his sister who keeps house for him. He asks the two young men about his former and favorite pupil. Pietro Spina. They hesitate at first out of regard for their old teacher. but finally tell him that Spina is forced to live in exile most of the time because he is constantly stimulating opposition to the government, After leaving the priest. one of the young men. a doctor. is asked by a peasant to treat an old man who is ill at his home. The old man is Spina in disguise. The doctor treats him Very reluctantly, and in order to get him off his hands, secures priest's clothing for him and diapatches him to a mountain village to recover. It is in this village that Spina tries to gain the ear of the peasants in what he calls the second revolution . In spite of the publicity of Italyis great movement for education. he finds the people everywhere. in dire ignorance. living in fear of the carabinieri. The entiJe book is taken up with Spina's futile efforts to shake the people out of their terror of the government. It ends with his fleeing again for exile. There is a. good narrative thread binding the book solidly together. Even apart from the interest in the subject matter of the book. it is a brilliant piece of writing. The combination of bitter realism with acid humor achieves much of the eFt'ectiveness of the book. This is Salone's second book: with its publica- tion. the young author immediately received recognition and praise from both Europe and America.

You see-there was a terrible accident and poor old Peter was thrown from the car and hurt We had been married justla montheand Peter was going to take me to Europe.

Nora: Lotus flowers bloom there, dont they? Michael: In the Shalimar Gardens there's the most beautiful lotus pond in the world. Nora: The Shalimar Gardens! What does a real lotus look like?

He had a ' machine which was capable of perpetual motion, or so he thought. ' ' In demonstrations of this wonder. mechanism he always explained, You see. you put coal in here. water here. oil these joints, and the steam generated goes directly to your machine without waste or escape. You can not let oH steam. It sounded goodnno escape of steam, no waste energy. a product that couldn't fail. But one day the fireman put too much coal in and the steam rose too high and because there was no waste and no escape but through the machine the machine blew up and every- thing was lost. Centuries before this man's failure there was another Inventor. I-Ie invented a machine which could work indehnitely if the owner used proper precautions. He made provision for too much steam being generated by introducing a means of escape. In the terminology of today that means of escape is known as recreation or play. You ask how this recreation operates as a means of escape? Well. you know the principle of a safety valve, don't you? It's a valve which releases pressure when the steam has accumulated to a predetermined de- gree. See how it operates in the human? A person eats food which prev duees energy. Suppose this person does only one type of thing constantly as for instance. writing or reading. He creates a great deal of energy which he does not use in such activity Unlesg he puts this excess to some other use it will be stored up in his body pushing him and driving him to motion. If this urge is not heeded and the energy released by change of activity or by additional activity the pressure on the inside will become too great and the individual will, figuratively. explode. Now the question isswhat type of valves can we employ to prevent this explosion? Each machine must be considered separateiy but .some general rules can be given. If the person who operates the machine spends a great deal of time in some sedentary occupation he can envalve his machine by taking part in some big muscle Sport. OE if the operator is an alI-round athlete he might let off steam by playing chess or checkers. In either situation the individual is shifting his attention and thereby avoid- ing that occupational look which characterizes so many school teachers. athletes. secretaries, and students. The value of valves to the human machine? They prevent the fre- quent snapping of nerves which often results from tension foliowing an accumulation of steam. They mellow the mechanism of the body so that the driver can enjoy its operation to the fullest extent. They offer oppor- tunities to many different drivers for consultation and improvements which might otherwise be neglected. The free wheeling and improved muscle co-ordination which reSult from the installation of active valves should surely be inducement enough for every one of you machine owners who is not already making use of your opportunities to recreate. Why don't you start this evening by dropping in on your neighbor and asking him to go for a walk with you?

ONE OF THE longest strings of college athletic victories ever run up fell just recently when Harvard defeated the Yale swimming team. For fhirteen years. through 16? dual meets. the Yales had never tasted defeat. Then the inevitable happened and the string broke. Navy beat Yale in 192$ and it was not until March, 1937, that the Yale Blue again went down in defeat. Which is SOME swimming!

And a very much alive mortal is Herbert People's Choice Krenzione of the Big Shots of the senior class. He was that charming Prince who fascinated us as iDeath' in Death Takes A Holiday . but we can also remember him in Big-Hearted Herbert . The Drunk- ard'l Hamlet . Broken Dishes . and many other of the Dramatic Club productions in which he has taken so active a pad during his four years here. Not only is his field of extra-curricular activity limited to Drav matics. as he claims the honor and distinction as president. both of the senior class and the student ceuncil. Being proctor of North Hall. we've heard that he's quite a hand at stopping some of those riotous water fights; an Av! proctor. too. even though he is gullible at times.

Dignilied as becomes all seniors. but ever ready to indulge in snappy comebacks. there isn't a student or teacher on the campus who wonit miss his six feet of personality. If the remainder of his life continues to be as full and as successful as his four years here at. Carthage. we can easily predict a most remarkable future as his reward.
