EMBER OF CENTRAL COLLEGE FACULTY 1895-190 fn- Y Q Y 4 r YYY ix : li! y - K When the telegram was re- ceived announcing the death of Prof. Key the Faculty and stu- dents held meetings and after passing resolutions and suspend- ing all regular college exercises arranged for representation at the funeral. Professors Smith, Webb, Baskett and lWillar, and students, VV. J. Osborn and VV. DI. Alexander took the train for Columbia and Were present when the last sad rites were performed. The quiet service at the home of Dr. E. A. Allen Was con- . ow, ducted by the lllethodist pastor, Rev. S. P. Cresap, assisted by Rev. F. lllarvin and Rev. A. C. lVfillar. ' The pall bearers were mem- bers of the faculty of the State University. Beautiful 'flowers from faculty and students of Central College were significant of his character and their love. The following tributes from colleagues and friends present a true picture of his life and char- acter. - fi' s. vw 5, - 1 English, won ample recognition and was adopted by strong schools. As a teacher of English and Modern Languages in secondary school and in college' he ranked deservedly high. He had all the qualifica- tions of ga great teacher. He knew his sub ect thoroughly. He pre- sented it enthusiastically and forcibly. He loved his students and in- spired them with confidence in himself and interest 'in their work. So patient, so helpful, so tactful was he that the indifferent student was stimulated, the weak student strengthened, and the good student car- ried to the mountain top. . A A diligent student, and accurate scholar, a strong writer, and an in- spiring teacher, William H. Key was first and above everything else a noble man and a Christian gentleman. Tender and gentle as a woman he was the embodiment of true courage. With keen insight he an- alyzed character and understood motive. With his delicately sensitive nature he felt the injury without harboring momentary resentment. The soul of honor, he inspired others to respect him and to raise their moral standard., Sympathetic but not effusive, he bound ,men-by the genuineness of his interest. By judicious criticism he helped his stu- dents and friends to ust conceptions of themselves. By discriminating praise and recommendation he secured merited recognition for others without seeking it for himself. A Deliberately refusing tempting of- fers, he stood by his friends at the post of duty. Deeply philosophical and rigidly exacting in his demands upon the evidences of religion, he satisfied himself concerning the foundations of Christian faith and then rested implicitly on the living Christ. Tolerant of others he held himself firmly to a high standard of creed and life. . During the last year with the shadow of death daily drawing nearer he was cheerful and took a wholesome interest in the world about him. VVhen a few months before the end he was informed of his physician's opinion that his malady was incurable, he calmly expressed his readi- ness to go, but loving his friends and his work he resolutely fought the destroyer and with any vantage ground would have won. A braver fight for life I have never seen. When the final summons came he lay down as if for pleasant slumber and his ripened soul came into its inheritance. A ' I Born in 1855, near Fulton, Callaway county, securing his educa- tion in local schools and in Central College and Johns Hopkins Uni- versity, receiving the A. lVI. degree from Central, he was engaged in teaching, in Tennessee before finishing his college course, later in Neosho Collegiate Institute, then seven years as vice-president and 1 7 A I i professor of English and Modern Languages in Hendrix College in Arkansas, and finally called to his Alma ltlater he served in succession as principal of the Academy, assistant professor of English and ltlod- ern Languages, and full professor of lllodern Languages. He was married in 1887 to Bliss Lalla T. Saunders, who entered fully into the spirit of his work and by helpful companionship gave him strength and courage to the end. v Health failing last year, he was granted leave of absence in hope of recovery. Remaining quietly in his home until January, he then went to St. Louis for special medical advice, but gradually sinking he came to Columbia, the home of his brother-in-law, Dr. E. A. Allen, and on lllarch 2, 1903, fell asleep. A Students, colleagues, and friends, in Tennessee, Arkansas, and ltlis- souri, where he was abundant in labors, realize that one of the truest, noblest, purest spirits that earth has known, having faithfully served his generation, having interwoven his life in theirs, has found the Christian,s home and awaits their coming. 4 ' WD 'X X nl rs, N Msn Nw, f 'mm sum M E Q 'FIG ' 'I B '-.,,, m lx? l 4 5 we-1 H cribure to me memory of william 5. Ka BD H. P. lUEll'l'QIl WWW ,--- a fellow -alumnus of Central College, and as one ,gi - few words concerning our fallen comrade, Prof. lf Eg William H. Key. I would that I had the gift of Q6 D 3 eloquence that I might pay a iitting tribute to his S J . memory. Professor Key was one of the iirst men I met on entering Central College. I soon learned to admire him for his scholarly attain4 ments and for the interest he manifested in the spiritual welf are of us younger boys. - He was looked upon by all of us as one worthy to be followed both as a student and a Christian gentleman. As a- student he was one of the most thorough and pains- taking Central College has ever had. And throughout his career ,as a teacher he continued to be the same diligent student in his search for the deepest truths of life. He was the compose-r of many 'poems of merit and the author of a text book on English Grammar. As teacher of Science in 1886 at Neosho Collegiate Institute, I became associated with Prof. Key and Prof. Dlillar. It was here I came to have a truer appreciation of Prof. Key as a teacher, 'student and friend. Not only with the students but also among-the citizens he awakened an ardent interest in the best English authors. He, to- gether with- other members of the faculty, organized a Literary Club which met regularly at the Institute building. Prof. Key succeeded in inspiring in his pupils and in all with whom he came into intimate contact, a love for the highest and best in literature. b IIow well I remember the long walks we used to take down by the pure limpid waters of Shoal creekg or over the hills that skirt the valley in which the little city of Neosho it situated, till reaching the shade of some monarch oak, we seated ourselves to read from Tennyson or VVordsworth, Shelley, Keats or Burns. In the companionship and un- ' . . S ,, A who ,knew and loved him well, I wish to say a 2 , . 5' ' 2 19 I der the direction of this scholarly man, I found a new meaning and a grander beauty in the songs of the poets. He was an alumnus of whom we are justly proud. Central has, from time to time, sent out from her halls men who are well equipped for the battle of life. Some to the high position of interpreters and expounders of lawg some to bless their fellow men by the successful practice of medicineg some to carry the Good News of salvation through faith in Christ to every creatureg some to the business world and some to the great wide fields of literature. Wm. H. Key chose the profession of teaching in which he has completed a whole life work. , 1 I wage not any feud with Death For changes wrought on form and face,- N o lower life that earth's embrace ' ZVIay breed with him, can fright my faith, Eternal process moving on, From State to State the spirit walks, And these are but the shattered stalks, ' Or ruined Chrysalis of one.

The facult and students of Central 19: -a Y . . if Q College and a large number of citizens of Fayette fn ' assembled to express their regrets at the loss of the :W honored Professor. hfany of those who had been ' r connected with him from the time that he was a V r student in Central College up to the time of his death were there and took part in the service. It happened that three or four, of his intimate friends were present on the occasion. Prof. T. B. Smith presided at the meeting. The hymn c'Nearer My God to Thee was sung. Dr. hlarvin read the scripture lesson. Prof. R. T. Bond read a set of resolutions which had been drawn up by the faculty, which are as follows: In view of the death of Prof. VVm. H. Key, we, the remaining members of the faculty of Central College, offer the following reso- lutionszp Resolved, That in the death of our loved and honored colleague, Prof. Key, we feel a great personal bereavement as individual mem- bers of the Faculty, for he was ever our warm personal friend and brother. , ' Resolved, That in his death Central College loses one of her most faithful and efficient teachers and friends, one of the truest, kindest, manliest of men, who, at all times and under all circumstances, stood with ,invincible courage for truth and righteousness. Q' Resolved, That we count it as one of our highest privileges to be numbered among the intimate friends of our departed brother, and we gratefully acknowledge that his beautiful Christian character was a constant benediction to us all. Resolved, That our hearts go out into the tender sympathy to our sister so sadly bereaved by the untimely death of her devoted husband, and we commend her to Him who has promised to be her Hrefuge and defense, a very present help in troublef' After the reading of the resolutions, Dr. Corprew, Prof. of Greek and Latin, who, for many years lived side by side with Prof. Key, and ' f zx . S was intimately associated with him in his college work, made an ad- dress in which he brought out many of the scholarly traits character- istic of Prof Key. Dir. Claud Orear read resolutions which had been drawn by a com- mittee appointed by the student body, which are as follows-Be it resolved: ' First, That in the death of our honored teacher, Prof. Key, we realize the loss of one who has not only been our 'faithful and success- ful teacher, but has at all times shown himself to be a kind and con- siderate friend, ever ready to give help and encouragement to his pupils. A T A Second, That as pupils coming in daily contact with Prof. Key we have realized' more and more as the years have come and gone the great 'blessing that his noble Christian character and life has been to us, and we would fain emulate his example. Third, That we extend our sympathy to his bereaved wife in this dark hour of her afliiction, and commend her. to Him who has ever been the helper of the helpless, when all human helpers have failed. After reading the resolutions, Mr. Orear read the following paper which he himself had prepared for the occasion: In this memorial service, in behalf of the students of Central Col- lege, we wish to express our sincere feeling of loss and sorrow and in some way extend our sympathy to the bereaved wif e and many friends of Prof. Key. -VVe, the students, especially those who have been the recipients of his kindness, who have realized as others cannot, the great worth and personal power of our beloved professor, do but la- ment that he should be taken from a field in which it was fondly hoped he would achieve such grand results. VV e bow to the mysterious dis- pensation, assured that though we know not God's purposes now, yet we shall know. l As Professor of lviodern Languages he for years served the Church and the young life represented in this institution of learning. 4 In this capacity he has all this time exhibited in an eminent degree a purity of life, a self-forgetfulness and a consecration to his work that has won the affection and hearts of all the students. He was wise in council, just in administrations and blameless in his moral and offi- cial life. - His example, therefore, shall long stand as an encourage- ment to those who strive' to lead pure and upright lives. ' His highest commendation is that throughout his busy life, a life which was a willing sacrifice to the cause in which he was enlisted, he in Y if WW.

He believed in God, and was a friend of God. He believed in the religion of helpfulness, the religion 'cThat re oiceth not in iniquity, but re oiceth in the truthf, Free from fanatacism, he hated cant, and was an enemy to all insincerity. E The news of his death fell like a pall upon the students. Through- out the campus and in the dormitories could be seen small groups of students talking in low tones, and many of them with moistened lids, of the great life that had ceased to be. How vividly the scenes of the class-room come back upon the mem- ory, the enthusiasm with which he conducted all his classes. Some- times his seemingly impatient reproof would cause a smile to play upon the faces of those present, for well they knew that the impa- tience after all, was unreal. Back of it was an earnest, honest heart of love, a desire for the truest welfare of those whom G-od had given him to instruct. Long may his example be an inspiration to us all and may his purity of life and purpose be a guiding star to young and old, and may God's richest blessings rest upon those dear to him by ties of kindness is our earnest, sincere prayer. The Central College Quartette sang 7'Beautiful Isle of Some- where? lllr. R. C. Clark then gave a short address. He spoke of Prof. Key not as the prof essoror scholar, but as the citizen, he brought out the fact that the prof essoris influence was not limited to the college alone. V It was felt throughout the city of Fayette. The services of the afternoon were concluded by remarks from three of Prof. Keyis school-mates. They were Prof. A. P. W31'1'CH, of I-Ioward-Payne College, Rev. A. B. Culbertson, pastor of the llleth- odist Church at Glasgow, and Prof. A.. C. lllillar, of Central College. These three men spoke with pleasure of their associations with Prof. Key. They were students in Central College together. Prof. Mil- lar was his room-mate in Fayette for two years.

If we say anything good we will have her husband to fight, and if we say anything bad we will also have him to fight. And so -we write slowly and thoughtfully. VVe consider the history of this life as one of the saddest ones in the history of the Class of 1903 and so we weep much every time we think of it. Yet we will defer the sad part as long as possible but when pos- sible does arrive we will give an- other sorrow to the World. This creature of circumstance was born February 28 and wonderful though it may seem, she posi- tively affirms that she is yet alive. Her childhood career was a checkered one. She is the only child of her parents and just like allother people who have been placed in like circumstances, she is what she is. As a child she was unusually bright and espec- ially of an inquisitive nature. So great was her propensity in this direction that three people were constantly hired for the sole pur- pose of answering her questions, and as one would become tired out and faint away exhausted, another was hurried in to take the place of the fallen one who was taken from the place to be revived. Before she was eight years old she had written and published several thousand vol- umes of books which were at one time considered very abstruse but which have recently been found to be highly interesting reading matter for the dime novel reader. Thus do the tastes of the people change. Alas we come still nearer the long deferred topic. She was born in Virginia and came to ltlissouri somewhat later. She graduated from Park College in 1897, taught school some time and then as a crowning act of her wild and dissipated career, she promised to love and honor one C. M. Aker until death should part them. Just here our muse fails to work. This mar- riage is the climax toward which we have been working, hence we stop to weep. ' AAAAAATAAA ..

Magnificent ma- jestic mogul, grand nabob, and grinning bagdad, great fighter of the devil, and smiter of sin, we pause with fear and trem- bling as we consider thy magni- tude. But we must nevertheless take the task upon our weak and unworthy shoulders of writing the biographies of the members of the Senior Class of 1903. lllr. Aker was born in Gray- son county, Virginia, on lVIay 15, 1876. His early years were spent in farming in the summer and in going to school in the win- ten In September, 1895, he came to llflissouri and entered Park College where he remained for three years. Irlaving taken up the Nlinistry he spent his first year after leaving Park on a cir- cuit and during this time, he was married to Miss Adah Ross, of Parkville. The following year we find him teaching in lllacon District Academy at Clarence, lllissouri. In the fall of 1900 he moved to Fayette and entered Central College as a Sophomore. Since that time he has had charge of a circuit besides his regular school duties. For this reason he has not been able to take a very active part in the college organi- zations. His powers of endur- ance are very strong. He has had work enough for the last few years to ruin the health of many men yet his health is not im- paired and he is even gaining flesh. llflr.

The subject of this sketch made his debut into this world's hurly-burly at S-edalia, Missou1'i, on the nineteenth of January, 18844. Not liking the climate around Sedalia, he set sail for the fairy land' of Texas where he enjoyed the balmy breezes for some six years and then was seized by a longing to return once more to the land of his birth. So he came again to Missouri and became a Swamp- angel. Here he sprouted wings and grew web-footed. Here he learned to tell the story that al- ways wins the dog. ,Here he saw things which grow larger and things which grow less, than they do anywhere else. Here he shoveled the fish out of the streams with a coal-shovel and threw gold nuggets at the birds. - Having landed at Fayette he was immediately dubbed J ohn- nie Greeni' and the name was so appropriate that it stuck to him through thick and thin. As Johnnie Green he was the in- corrigible and became known f ar and wide. He entered school as -a Soph and a rousing Soph,' he made, too. During this year he was very highly honored by his Society, being ap- pointed on the room-committee several different times. He also Won the 50-yd dash on Field-day of the same year. As a Junior, 'cJohnnie Greeni' became Little Crow. The 'cCrow became known even as' Johnnie Green had been known. During this year he was on the Inter-Collegiate De- bate with Wliliam Jewell. He was also a member of the base- ball team and held several other positions of honor and merit., But as a Senior he topped it all off'-he succeeded in making the foot-ball team, yea, verily, he was the quarter-back. He was elected as President of his Society fthe Phi Alphaj , Will- iamfA. Smith, orator, and Cap- tain of the Phi Alpha track team. Ile became a regular on the base- ball team and one of the Busi- ness lVIanagers of the Ragout. Even so has 'cJohnnie Green evolved into the most potent, grave, and reverend Seniorf Iflorace M.

He spent most of his early life fight- ing turkey goblers and fleeing from indignant swine. When quite young, Osburn ate a Whole peck of green apples which seemed to satisfy his appe- tite for a short time only-but developed soon into a regular recurring demand for the same amount per day. At the age of ten he entered the public school and soon showed a marked tend- ency for,Arithmetic and Gram- mar. Every summer he would work on the farm doing a great deal of walking. This developed in a wonderful manner his pedal extremities. His parents on this account have been put to a large expense for shoes. Notwith- standing this large outlay of money, at the age of fourteen the boy was matriculated in Woodson Institute, Richmond, Missou1'i. By this time he had grown large enough to grub stumps and plough in gumbo. In the summer of 1900 he prac- tically finished the course at Woodson Institute. The next fall he entered the Sophomore class in Central College. Being quite bashful he has not been a great success in the circles of society. He makes a 'good col- lector for the Y. NI. C. A. slush fund and is a faithful society worker. He grew very rapidly While young and hence required a great deal of sleep. Sleeping too much seems, at present, to be his chief deficiency. In fact his first two years in Central were spent largely in this man- ner. He woke up during his Senior year, however. His po- sitions and honors are as follows: Scholarship at Woodson Insti- tute 1897 398, prize in Oratory at? Woodson Institute, 1900, Aristotelian' declaimer, 1902g Preliminary Orator, 1902-'03, delegate from Y. M. C. A. to the Lake Geneva Student Con- ference, 1902g President of the Aristotelian Literary Society. His chief faults are stepping on ladies' dresses and sleeping in daylight. His highest ambi- tion is to get married. an na an riff na wwwe Beryl Dean Smith efwfwawf f K, . X! Now, even now, do we tune our harp of one thousand strings in order that we may sing long and loud of Bliss Beryl Dean Smith. We are almost too full for utterance, but since we must utter, we bow humbly to the will of the editor in chief and pro- ceed to utter. At one time Miss Smith was Central's only Co-ed. The chief event of that year is when she told an uncouth prep who knew no better, that she had a handle to her name. Her childhood was spent in viewing her knowledge bumps which are indeed quite large, but otherwise when not thus engaged she developed and trained that unruly member-the tongue, sought out and examined the wonders-of nature, the mysteries of the heavens and the deep se- crets of fudge making. From earliest time she has kept a note book in which she has recorded all her bright sayings, puns, etc., and she nowihas her own room papered with these. Even'Bill Nye would have been over- whelmed had he been privileged to' gaze upon them. . Bliss Smith is a poetess of rare ability. She writes verses that' make dogs howl and wail on hearing them read. This is mentioned as one in thousands of letters testifying to their soothing eff' ect. She has been class 'poet time after time, but never in the history of her position in that realm, 'has her muse burned. It is the intention of this one above mentioned to live and die an old, maid unless she gets. a chance to tie up to somebody. This is her avowed and out- spoken purpose. We feel we have but done our duty in mak- ing this announcement to the public at large and feel that ex- planation is unnecessary. lllay wreaths of ivy leaves finally crown her days. llliss Smith was born Sep- tember 16, in Glasgow, Missouri, and later moved to Fayette, bringing her parents with her. She went to IT. P. C. 1889-90, to the public school '91-,96, and to Central College '96-,03. Pres. Zeto Society, 1902, and at diff er- ent times, Poet, Sec.. Treas. and Pres. of Class of f03. 5 Sdfilb DOYCGS SiCQIOff, 2lli3S USZIIIW' 6 We now dip our pen in our dust-laden ink in order to write of yet another of Central's Co- ed. Seniors-to speak of yet one more rose in a bunch of thornsf' As we think of our fair school- mates, we can not but remember the heartless pranks that Cupid has played in the ranks of Cen- tral, and thereby we grow remi- niscent and melaneholy. We too, received a wound from the little blind boy's arrow from which we have scarcely re- covered. Therefore we must look with heart-felt sympathy upon those who are treading the paths that we have trod. But we are wandering. Our knowledge as to the age of our subject is very limited. This much we know, however. She was not born in the future, for in that case we find that the result of our computations as to her age is imaginary. She was not born in the present, for then the aforesaid result becomes il- lusory. Therefore she must have been born in the past. T In her early life she was very orderly and industrious. Her time was spent in dressing dolls and cleaning trunks. She' was also fond of hanging herself in swings and of breaking her arms by falling from see-saws. In as much as she is a minis- terqs daughter, she moved around so fast that she can not re- member where she has been. To our own certain knowledge, however, she has lived 'at Lin- neus, Butler, Chillicothe and Norborne. After coming to Fayette she attended Howard Payne for some years but in September, 1899, she entered Central College as a Freshman. Since that time she has held the following positions of honor. President of the Zetosophian Literary Society, President of the Epworth League, Prohibi- tion orator, 1902-703, Assistant Editor in Chief of the Ragout, 1902-,03. Her bad habits are burning the biscuits and upsetting the butter milk. bHer highest ambition is to become first assistant of a College President. 52.2.2.2 W.

Mr. Standley was born on the Prairie Dell' farm near Stet, hlissouri, August 21, 1881. He early learned habits of industry and thrift. VVhen five years old, he started in at the little red school-house and remained in at- tendance there for nine years, after which his parents moved to Fayette. He then entered first prep. in Central Academy, and has gradually worked his way to his present exalted position as member of the Senior class of 1903, and Editor in Chief of the Ragout. Most of his vaca- tions were spent on ag farm raking the meadows sweet with hay or plowing corn. During his last vacation he had the great UQ honor of representing the Chicago Portrait Company. In this work he was successful, mak- ing many homes more beautiful and happy by ,introducing his great masterpieces of art therein. lllr. Standley has done consci- entious work while in Central and has ever been faithful in dis- charging the duties which have fallen to him. We predict that he will make a successful physi- cian, for we learn that he is to spend his life as a medicine man. He stands well in his classes.and is popular with all who know him. His chief deficiency is the art of making love. VVith a little more practice, however, we hope that he will be able to ove1'come this defect in his nature. hir. Standley is a member of the Phi Alpha Literary Society and has held all the offices which that so- ciety can confer upon him ex- cepting the office of Correspond- ing Secretary and Treasurer. He represented his society in the annual inter-society declamation contest H9031 and won honor. He also holds the following posi- tions of honor: Second honors on pole vault and running high jump, 19013 guard on basket-ball team 1902- '03, Literary Editor of the Cen- tral Collegian, 1902-703g Editor in Chief of the Ragout 1902-'03. His chief faults are studying while the professor is out of town and walking bow-legged. He has no ambitions. be it x In ll th -li 'Wi li ii 5 'W .w We 'UH IM we 'H Ui 'U Hi 'WF Ml 1 E. 15 new ht if 1 'HEPWE WHY. 'ir .ig-5w', ir :pa- W .

We feel like we could write volumes if we could write the whole thing at once, but alas! it can not be. A'more eventful childhood can not be imagined. At the tender age of one year she astonished all man- kind by the overwhelming use of her tongue. Already there was prophesied her now famous ,ca- reer. By the time she was three, she had broken her neck, arm, head, and ankle twice over, burned almost to a crisp three times and has had every disease that childhood is heir to and yet during this time she had kept up her study of Greek, Latin, French and German. These misfortunes coming early upon her, stopped her growth in stat- ure but her brain on the contrary grew marvelously. As she has so truly said, her head, like Gaul, is divided into three parts Q15 Co-eds. troubles, Q25 troubles of the Co-eds.g Q35 Co-education. In school she is f amiliarly known as the Swamp Angelessf' as distinguished from H. M. Ivy, 'c'I'he Swamp -Angel. Nliss Symons was born in England, but as her genius was so widely recognized there, and as her parents were so over- whelmed with delegations com- ing to see their little prodigy, they decided to sail for the U. S. but alas her-fame had gone on before and they were met at the ship by an immense throng, but even at this time she is known from one end of Central Cam- pus to the other end of Howard Payne. It might be well to mention here that she was the founder of the systematic study in mud pies. Miss Symons was born in England on October 25. Later came to lVIissouri. She gradu- ated in Marvin Collegiate Insti- tute at Fredericktown, Missouri, in 1901, and the same year en- tered Central from whose doors, she issues this year. v8v8v8'-85818188 if Cbenault coaa, 3m ZIHGS CZlkQll5Zllk Ul As we attempt to write our closing chapter, our muse which has soared so long in the realms of the ethereal is worn and weary. But with a theme so unique as this, new energy wells up in her drooping spirit and nerves her for one more flight. VVe would now conduct you from the discordant scenes of city life to the quiet glens of the country where the squealing pigs and bleating billy-goats sing melodious songs together. Coun- try life fosters freedom and her- oism. Chenault early learned to face the onsets of irate beasts of the fields. In defense of his right he has fought the bellow- ing sons of the Bovine family, even has he withstood the furious assaults of the setting hen, yea more, he has stirred the bumble bee in his nest. VVhat wonder then that one so accustomed to resist the snares of the oppressor should in after years write so wonderfully of liberty, equality and fraternity! Unfortunately the record leaf has been torn out of Todd's Bible and to-day no one knows his age. Some critics judging from his physical characteristics and general conformation place him as far back as the Mexican war and others ev en later than the Spanish war. The majority, however, think that the date of his birthnbelongs to the recon- struction period which followed the Civil war. Suffering from a nearly un- quenchable thirst for knowledge he entered the Detherage School. Outside of a few incidents which happened on the playground and which are related by Todd himself, almost nothing is known of this period. He was ever and eternally against staying in at noon, and when forced to do so, the fires of liberty would grow so hot within him as to burn his clothes. Since ,entering Central Col- lege Mr. Todd has ridden ten thousand miles to and from school, fthis does not include other rides too numerous to men- tionj. He has been a faithful member of the Aristotelian So- ciety, and has held the following positions of honor: Preliminary Orator, 1902, Preliminary Orator, 1903, Cen- tral's representative in the Inter- Collegiate Oratorical Contest, 1903, William A. Smith Ora- tor, 1903. His bad habits are- studying too hard and eating too little. His highest ambition is to invent a machine that will black shoes. r. X 'M M f-5 H-Q F Q Bi :Ras ig fm H '1- WM.

That peculiar fate, which some- 'W ' ' times tampers with the lives of men, had stolen , its robe over us, and, ,fascinated by the magic of A its spell, we could only stand and watch the dis- appearing train as it faded away into the softening twilight of that beautiful August afternoon. Nothing was left but to return into the town and await the next opportunity. VVe were walking along the street facing the lake when our atten- tion was called to an American, seated before a Mexican cottage. He was holding a book in his hand yet his gaze was not upon the con- tents but wandered far across the wide expanse of the rippling lake which caught up the last rays of the sinking sun and hurled them back in a myriad of tiny rain bowsg far beyond the cloud capped heights of the mountains which lined the distant shoresQ The richest and most exquisite of nature's paintings lay before him, yet he saw them not. And as we watched the Hitting changes which fancy wrought upon his aged features, we knew he looked even beyond the present and into the endless void of the past. Delighted with the opportunity of seeing a fellow countryman we accepted the privilege of a new acquaintance, and seated ourselves in a proffered chair. . T ' H anding us the book he said, My friend have you ever read 'The Class of '04i,' or cThe Biography of the Big 41? Of course we had read it! Is not every true American familiar with the history of our famous men? VVell,7' he continued, I was a member of that class and this is the book. But did you ever hear the original class histor f? and do you know where the college is located Our blood began to tingle, our reporteris instinct was alive at once, and we prepared for the greatest story we had ever found. VVhat if we had missed the train! Here was the end of our long and D 5 277 42 tedious journey. Had we not searched half the continents for this very thing? And were we not starting home disappointed? But at last fate had helped us and now for the glory of success. The old man entered the house, but presently returned with a table and a closed box. Wheii he had arranged them and uncovered the mysterious machine we saw before us a phonograph. This will give you the exact and original history in the voice of the historian said he. And we grabbed our reporters pad and were ready when the voice be- gan. Q ' V 3lllIl0l' CIZISS 5lSI0l'D-'Oli MOttO-ccLU1'H too Spelf' v Main Feature-Originality-fin spellingj . As a class we were organized in the Spring of '02, . We had been planning such an act for many days, and knew that an expectant and critical ,world awaited the result, even as the Colonies had awaited .the iDeclaration, or Germany had anticipated the theses of Luther. So, when the buds are bursting their winter confines, when the energetic trees are making the forest merry by their shooting, and when young men's fancies are turning-then it was we decided upon the culmination of our plans and the establishment of the class of '044. We have been assured of success because we have at our command some of the greatest minds' among the literary leaders of the 'present century. It is true they are in embryo. But was not every person of note-except Minerva-in embryo at one time? 1 When Bill Giddens begins to play' upon the nerve strings of ethical and spiritual life, and make them give forth soft and dulcet harmonies by his immaculate touch, when by his profound logic he convinces men of the folly of life, and the error of their transgressions, then we feel, to us is due one of the foremost divines of the age. A As Julius Caesarf' by his ready pen and more ready wit, be- queathed those famous lines,- . , Howard Payne, Howard Payne, Hear the generous refrain, etcf' we realized that our stand in the ranks of posterity was assured.

And how they do mitigate the pain derived from those invectives whose painful significance is ever of the pointed cap and high stool!

The deed that he unconsciously performed the other night in his room at the 'cVatican,' will appear during the next Theatrical sea- son dramatized as 'Cthe Vatican Vendetta? A partial reproduction of Act III., Scene II., is as follows: Time midnight.

Etc., etc. It is said that Siceloff went to sooth-sayer Bowles the other day for the diagnosis of a strange malady that was oppressing him. Oracles Bowles with his mystic science soon discovered Siceloff's star of fate to be lazily blinking at a distance of three miles and a quarter beyond the milky way. After various and mysterious manipulations of lens and scented powders the unerring necromancer sprang from his trance and rapidly penciled an abstruse sort of poetry which might as well have been runic rhyme to Siceloff'-kindly translated to us by Bowles after a literal fashion it runs thus: On thy star is spotted gore, Telling that your heart is sore. Verzlnre there is torn and wiltecl, Eeincing the fact that yoifve been jiltecl. To friends you smile, but alone, boo-hoo, Bnt clo cease that, for it siclsens yon. Ah! here's the fact that'll please you mostly, She spurned you of for Peter' Costley. But have you seen Lindsey? A ' e No. Y ' Then look him up quick, but look under the head of 'cPsychological Enigmasf' By all means don't slight- Lindsey, he whose mellow, musical monotone ripples in that rythmic, euphonious fluency so utterly mastered by southern courtienrsg he the ardence of whose dark orbs are strangely signiiicantof black holes burnt in a sheet, he whose blushing nasal promontory seems ever to shout out the fact of the turkey-red- ness of its owners blood. But wait, see him in the time of danger. Oh, I knew yould fail to recognize him! Yes, that's Lindsey, he whose cool, calculative courage renders him a champion undenied when on the campus of strife. On such occasions his being seems to undergo a strange meta- morphosis. It seems to imbibe in a mysterious manner the undaunted will and steady courage of our old Norse fathers. But we must stop. This is no common person that we speak of in such vulgar palaver, ,tis Lindsey, Lindsey the courtier, Lindsey the warrior, Lindsey the- matchless. ' I-Ierr Von Shanghai Rutherford, Count of Cupples Hall and danc- 49 ing exponent, traces his ancestry back to the union of Siegfried and Criemhild. He says that his manly profile and dignity of manner are heritages of his great, great, great grand-father, the matchless Sieg- fried. In speaking of his more delicate characteristics he says that the re- markable metre with which he dances, the facility with which he can weep and his burning enthusiasm for the game of basket ball are all bequests of the tender Criemhild. Dyson is a courtier of fair ladies, but let me add that Lindseyis style is very repugnant to him. Wl1e1'e Lindsey is guarded and systematic, Dyson is loquacious and impulsive. But Dyson's verbosity is to be much more recommended than Lind- sey's tact, for Dysonis verbosity is generated by that sublime and irre- sistible feeling as only a soul, about to explode with emotion, can feel. And then, too, Dyson tells the wondering maiden such strange and beautiful stories and she knows also that they are true for Dyson told her so. But she is captivated when Dyson tells her, in perfect syllo- gism, of his views on the Pythagorean'doctrine, how for instance, he believed that his spirit once animated the kingly form of Roman An- tony and how the transmigration of Antony's soul through so many ages had not lost much of its matchless genius for oratory, generalship and other qualities. But then with moistening eyes he tells her that a baneful companion has also kept pace with these other good principles on their march down through the ages, and how that heritage was troubling him then. And she asks him with her beautiful eyes dilating with wonder and sympathy what this evil torment might be? Then Dyson, like the skilled tragedian at the time of the climax, frightens her by falling upon his knees and telling her that it was love of fair woman that made him as miserable as Antony could ever be, and that Cleopatra was a mere glow-worm to the incandescent beauty of her, etc. And then he proposes, all the while using Cleopatra as the mensural unit of her beauty, and so owing to his own spontaneous fashion, for such is Dyson, and being such he is deservedly a lover of the old schoolf' 50 Fm 'W N 'Qi 'Ii iid- in :SQ hi lid wi nk IS:- PM fa 1 ww W 'Hz Ilia KH Mr. W? mins 'Fw Q rn ri? ff at af freshman 5 5 MISS CAPP YOUNG MISS BORCHERS GILL MISS GRAY HUFFINE MELCHER EZELL DUMM 52 wcfwcfww Freshman Class ewwww , 4 Class yell Boom-a-ra ca!

CrROVES.D If VVELL organized literary society, properly con- 'H V ducted, is of almost inestimable value to a col- fc legevstudent. It affords him excellent oppor- . Z tunity for the development of strong personality if I 9 and independence in thought and expression. I4 , V He learns to think on his f eet, as well as in his quiet room and to use correct and forceful lan- guage in expressing his thoughts. Central Col- l lege from the beginning of her history, has gen- erously fostered this means of culture for young men, and, as a result, her representatives do not suffer by comparison with the products of other institutions of learning of like grade. VVhether in the pulpit, at the bar, in the school room, on the rostrum, or in the halls of state or national legislation, many of her sons have ranked high, and their suc- cess has been due, in no small measure to her literary societies. From Mr. A. F. Davis, a charter member of the Zetagathean Liter- ary Society, we have the following historical sketch: In 1858 the Philomathean Literary Society, which was the first organized in the College, was using' the end hall, on the third floor of what is now the Academy building. The society had grown so large that it was deemed best to divide it, and out of it swarmed a new society under the patronage of Prof. A. C. Dyas, which he named Zetagathean. These two societies continued, and flourished until the college closed, during the war, in 1861. The Zetagathean society occupied the west hall in the Academy building . These societies did excellent work. and sent out many noble, strong young men, of whom Central may well be proud. In 1866, Rev. H. A. Bourland, who is now promi- nently connected with the educational work of the Southern lllethod- ist church in Texas, by the authorit I k the college building, for the purpose of doing high grade academic work. Fully aopreciating the value of a literary society to youno' h C5 men, he encouraged them to organize one, which they did, and named it Ciceronean.', y of the church, opened a school in It became a strong society, and did good work during Dr. Bour- 60 land's faithful and efficient administration, which closed June 11, 1868, when Dr. Wm. A. Smith was elected president of the college. Dr. Smith determined, after consultation with the board of curators, to open the institution in September as a Classical Seminary and so conduct it until he could raise the endowment to 2B100,000. Prof. F. I-I. Forster, whom the curators had just added to the faculty, was made principal of the Seminary and dean of the faculty, while the president entered the fieldto raise the required endowment. VVhen the Seminary opened in September, 1868, the attendance was so large that Prof. Forster and other members of the faculty urged the Cicer- onean Literary Society to consent to a division. They did so, and designated John Anderson and Lewis F. Cottey as leaders, author- izing them to divide the members, by choosing alternately. To the special meeting at which this division was to take place all the anew boys desiring membership in a literary society were invited, and they were distributed by lot. As many slips of paper as there were candidates- for membership-about sixteen-were prepared, and the names of the leaders, Anderson and Cottey, were written, alter- enately, on the slips. These were drawn by the Knew boysfi The so- cieties have never been so evenly divided since, save once. Cottey, by lot, had the right of choice as to room, and he chose the west hall-the old home of the Zetagathean, and later the Ciceronean societies. John Anderson, followed by his band of noble boys, marched across to the east hall where they proceeded to organize. Hilery Bush was chosen as their first president and Vifatson Johnson as their first secretary, and they named the society Aristotelian. . Cottey and the boys who were associated with him proceeded, at once, to organize. The writer was elected as the first president and Joseph C. I-Iendrix as the first secretary. Prof. F. A. Taylor pro- posed Phi Alpha as a name for the society, and it was adopted. After the permanent organization of each society, the first meeting at which each had a regular programme, was October 1, 1868. fAt the opening of the session of school in September, 1869, the singular fact was discovered thathwhile there were about fifteen of the Phi Alpha boys present, not a single Aristotelian had returned. Prof. Forster, always the big-hearted friend of the boys, met with the Phi Alpha society at its first regular meeting and asked 'the boys, after emphasizing the necessity of having rival societies, if they would not consider him as the representative of the Aristotelian society, and ad journ, as a society, that they might hold a convention. This they GI readily agreed to, and the convention suspended one of the inter- society laws in order to enable the Aristotelian society to receive members immediately. The Phi Alpha boys also agreed that they Would not receive any new members until the Aristotelians should equal' them in numbers. They further consented for John G. Gibbens and Josiah Godbey to withdraw from the society and go into the Aris- totelian society and assist in the re-organization. Seven of the new boys joined and a permanent organization was effected by the election of J. R. A. Vaughan, president, and W. O. Gray, secretary. The first appearance of representatives of the two societies before the public was at 9 a. m. June 9, 1869--during commencement-when either three or four young men from each society delivered orations. The faithful work of the boys in these two societies during the past thirty-four years and their loyalty tothe college is known by all who have kept in touch with the life and growth of the institution.

Some have come to vvithout religious convictions, and have gone from us to faithfully preach the gospel.

The services of a nulnber of excellent speakers have been secured, but no meetings have been enjoyed more than those conducted by members of the Y. M. C. A. themselves. Two services l1ave been quite helpful. One Was the joint meeting of the Y. Ml. C. A. and the Y. W. C. A. of Howard Payne College. The other was conducted by lllr. lVlcCullock, of Nashville, Ten11.

He Wantsito place his child in a -school Where the best of Christian induences are brought to bear upon the young life-Where character will not be injured by being thrust with vile associations nor the mind be poisoned by the arid speculations of the agnostic. He Wants his child to have a high and lofty reverence for the Christian religion, along with a high intellec- tual training. Ile desires his child to receive an education as gooc, as can be had in a college course. He wants his child to come into personal contact with professors-+men of intellectual, moral and spiritual attainments--and from these to' learn the truth as seen by men of God. To any such father or mother We can honestly and sincerely say that Central 'College 'is the school in which you should place your child. It fills the above requirements.

' B' IN' always more or less speculation as to how many rv hy . g - receptions will be given in honor of the class. 1 A i After the more than unusual series of events in the class and the final adjustment of difficulties, Lg, 1' there came as a pleasant surprise, the invitation to Dr. CorpreW's home, for MQarch 10th-the . first event in honor of the Seniors. By nine oaclock beauty and chivalry Were there gathered together while merry laughter and gay talk flowed on unceasingly. The chief amusement of the evening was the rebus contest, the Win- ners of Whichnwere Dir. Donaldson and Bliss Evans, the prize being HM1'S. Wiggs in a Cabbage Patch. The dainty hand painted cards on which the guesses were Written, Were given as pleasing souvenirs of the occasion. After the contest, delightful refreshments Were served consisting of ice cream and cake, stuff ed dates, pepperments and coff ee. At a late hour the guests departed having spent a delightful evening, yet all regretted very much that M1'S. Webb and Prof . Webb, J r., were unable to be present. i . M, 5-LN S X.

QQ' f l gt Payne College is always one of great interest to ' xii: ' A the Senior Class of that college and alsoito Cen? ' tral. Cn the evening of the twenty-fourth of ' In lllarch they received their guests and extended to lx them the hospitality of the class. In the public . parlor President and lllrs. Groves stood at the head of the line of sixteen graduates from the Literary and Special departments. Streamers of white and violet were festooned around the chandeliers and grace- fully looped to the corners of the room. In one corner of the room was a unique poster illustrating the class motto. The rays of 1. numer- ous candelabras shed their soft beams upon the long line of Seniors and gave a charming eff ect to the scene. Out in the hall the walls were covered with beautiful paintings and in every corner and down the whole length of the hall were cosy couches daintily piled with sofa pillows. The Juniors of Howard Payne College were on the reception committee and by their untiring efforts they crowned the evening with success. By the staircase the punch bowl stood and each guest felt free to partake of the delicious beverage. About ten oaclock sealed envelopes containing a lady's name were passed to every gentleman present. The guests were then ushered into the reading room according to the number assigned them. Here it was evident that an artist's hand had had some share in its decoration. The walls ,were covered with a back ground of white strewed with violets and some looked so natural that they appeared to be nodding in the breeze. P The year ,03, made out of amass of violets, stood out in distinct lines and caught the eye of all. The Senior colors were draped around the walls and everywhere the class-color scheme, the violet and white, was carried out. The guests were seated at small tables where colored waiters served them with ice cream in brick of violet and white, and cake. There was nothing to mar the harmony of the evening. With congenial guests, gracious and willing hos- tesses, the evening proved a great success. 99 A U55 fll'Si CQITII Y. ID. C. fl. RQCQDUOI1 U55 X f Q f WM Q N f 0 -..L pg HE first Y. M. C. A. Reception is given especially for the new students, that they may become ac- quainted with the young people of Fayette. This year it was given on the evening of the nineteenth of September. The Y. lll. C. A. boys, with the aid of a few of the young ladies, had ,arranged and decorated the rooms. The golden rod was abundant and great bunches had been placed all around the rooms. The musi- cians were surrounded by a hedge of goldenrod, around which the crowd gathered, in order to hear better the enlivening strains of rag- time. The centerof the room opposite was also the center of attract- ion, for there was the punch bowl and two charming young ladies- llfisses Ruth Mumpower and Emma Carroll, who graciously served the guests. The reception's success was due to the efforts of the Y. M. C. A. Social Committee, the girls of the Senior class at Central and several of the young ladies out in town. .

Reception ww On the evening of January the ninth was given the mid-winter Y. lll. C. A. reception. This reception is always a very happy occasion, for the students have just returned from the Christmas holidays and are full of the good times they have had. The rooms were decorated with rugs and potted flowers. As the young ladies appointed to serve punch did not appear, Miss Carroll and Mr. Ivy volunteered. They did exceedingly well for Seniors, except that they fished all the cherries out of the bowl and ate them in the eyes of the hungry multitude. But the Senior class this year are famous for their fishing and selfishness. The reception committee was as follows: Misses Beryl Smith, Sarah Siceloff, Mabel Symons, Minnie Holland, Mary Carroll, Carrie Head and lllary Prosser, Mess1's. Dyson, Richmond, Sears, Alexan- der, Bowles and Donaldson. The 'Dites were there in full force and of course a very delightful evening was spent by many of the boys especially.

Kilpatrick entertained the Seniors and Juniors of Central and the Seniors of Howard Payne College on the evening of the third of April, with a Fishing Partyf' The evening spent with Prof. and lilrs. Kilpatrick is always of great importance in the Senioris calendar, for then we hear read our class history. . A p Strings of fish were everywhere in evidence, and by the time Mr. Ivy had finished reading his interesting Class History, excitement was at its highest, and the Seniors, rod inhand, were ready forthe sport. The fish proved to be of the long lived, though not indestructible variety, and for the Central Seniors took the forms of horns and whistles in various shapes-anything to make a noise. Those for the Howard Payne Seniors showed even greater diversity of kind, a Japanese tea-caddy, a tiny boat, a cup of - oy, etc., each with an appro- priate quotation. A In the dining room where dainty refreshments were served the deco- rations were all suggestive of a fishing party. The table was draped in a white fish-net and in the center ,on a mound of shells starfish and grasses, a gar fish lay in state? M1'. and lVlrs. Kilpatrick were assisted in entertaining by Misses Hendrix, llilartinowski, Prosser, Head and Beazley. The guests were the Seniors and Juniors of Central, the Seniors of Howard Payne, Prof. and lVIrs. H. D. Groves, Mr. and M1's. A. F. Davis, lilisses lVlarion Lasher, Best, Briggs, Grigsby, Doland, Reeves, liiessrs. lilurray Davis, A. W. Walke1', W. B. Prosser, George Pryor, VVendell Davis, Wm. Basket and Robert Basket. The affair was most unique, and thoroughly en oyed by all. 3 5555665 Zelosopbian Reception wefeeefew The Zetosophian Literary Society held its annual reception at Science Hall on the evening of lllarch 30. The rooms and halls had been prettily decorated and arranged. Also a good reception com- mittee had been provided and at eight o'clock was ready to begin work. So much always depends on this committee at an affairof this kind and as every one says they had a delightful time and enjoyed every minute of it, we may very reasonably conclude that the committee was all right-and must have been exceedingly swift. About the middle of the evening and at the height of all the excite- ment and talking we were moved Q not to tearsj by the lively strains of two violin duettes, rendered by Miss Sarah Siceloff and 1VIr. Osburn. As to some of the other startling episodes of the evening we will have a quotation from the local department of the Central Collegian. Mc- Spadden, the baseball brat, was introduced to a young 'lady who sat with another fellow on the stairway, and she gave him a vacant stare. J im Davis, an insignificant article, who is known t V love, created considerable consternation by trying to 'Cbustf the lemon squeezer. W. VV. Richeson was engaged in his old trick of scraping plaster from the ceiling with the top of his head. Godbey, the sumpt- uous swell, took a squint at an electric light and fractured his monocle. Otherwise the reception was a complete success and all went merry as a marriage bell. The co-eds. deserve commendation for the tact o be fearfully in and f ore-sight with which everything was conducted.

Everything is made to order. We do not promise to make you pretty but We will do our best to lit you. If you are hunchbacked please do not expectus to make you straight. If your corporeal frame is like unto a tobacco hogshead, it will be impossible for us to make you slender and graceful. If you are a cross- eyed, spindle-shanked specimen of the genus homo do not expect us to make out of you an Apollo Belvedere or a Venus of Milo. We must deal honestly with our customers.. All abnor- mities will be shown up in their true proportions. We take this opportunity of informing the public that We have on hand an excellent line of shoes. The latest styles and all sizes. Those having corns, bunions and other excrescences, 'would do well to consult a good chiropodistbefore attempting to be fitted. If ou1' shoes should pinch you, We give you the liberty to kick 106 'them off. But please do not ask us to guarantee solid comfort when you crowd a number eight foot into ar number five shoe. Our hat department is also complete. ' VVe have on hand a full line of little red and blue caps for the Freshies. They are too small to be numbered but we insure a fit. These caps are made out of coarse, strong material, suitable for fighting butterflies and seining mud-pud- dles for tadpoles. We have, also, in stock a line of hats made espec- iially for the '4Sophs.'7 These hats have steel hoops for sweat-bands which-render a Soph. perfectly safe from spontaneous combustion, so often caused by the accumulation of gas in the vacant upper story. The Juniors will, no doubt, hail With delight our new patent adjust- able hats. As the head shrinks these hats automatically adjust them- selves to the contour of the craniumg thus always maintaining perfect lit and shape. These hats have the capacity of shrinking from 100 above to 410 below zero. If the grave Seniors will call around we will show them our best quality of sky-scraping Beavers which will enable them to stand much higher in the respective spheres which they have chosen for themselves. H V Of course we' shall make some misyttsg for accidents will happen. And be we ever so careful some of our furnishing will be unfit. We can never reach absolute perfection here below. But we entreat you be as patient and sparing as possible in your criticisms. If you feel that you have complaints which you must make against this depart- ment, make your grievances known to Railroad Standley, the principal floor-walker of the establishment, as we must go' abroad for our health as soon as the present stock is exhausted.

Todd. , . r A , HE stream of time is thickly strewn with deeds of f' A i glory. Before the student of history, there moves a grand p.-moi-ama of man's trials and ' triumphs, struggles and achievements. Bound- ' ' ' less are the fields, endless the ways, and number- less the examples of pure and heavenly self sac- 9 rifice. The scholar, astronomer, poet, orator, patriot, and philosopher all have rendered im- perishable service in their perennial spheres. But who of these would come forth in bright array from his glorious fame to have his 1ife's,work measured by that of the one, whose life was con- secrated to the holy endeavor of dispelling the dark shadows of op- pression, that liberty's luminous light might flood the world forever, the one in whose eye tyranny had made a wilderness of the world and solitude of society. Statesman, Soldier, Patriot, Orator, Lover of Truth and Justice, Achiever and Protector of Liberty, Benef actor of humanity-this is Lafayette, alone in his grandeur and his glory. Oh! f elicitious Providence that gave to the world the liberty loving Lafay- ette, the noble, the true, who came not in the palmy days of power but when all was dark, with no star to illumine save that of hope, may his be a laurel crown forever bright. The publication of the Declaration of Independence is an epoch memorable in the world's history. The hope inspired by this immor- tal document drew aside the dark curtain of tyranny and oppression and exhibited to 1ife's weary pilgrim new domains of peace and happi- ness, new triumphs for him to achieve in the cause of human freedom. Lafayette caught its inspiration and consecrated his life to its realiza- tion. What hardships, privations, and sacrifices it would entail he could not foresee. But the principles of that declaration first un- furled before his eyes the consecrated standard of human rights and he resolved whatever betide to follow and fight beneath its folds. It was the beacon of his boyish pleasures, the unfading hope of his dying day. No one can decide whether our fathers could have succeeded without the French alliance. But the alliance assured our triumph and Lafay- ette secured the alliance. The story of that inspired youth flying from 124 ,fs v if , fi M ,,,,,, ,,,,. ,. ,. , ,. .V.,.,..,...,.i,...W...,-.:,:.7.-,.Yf.,.-..L ga-.- pleasures and palaces to crusade for freedom in freedom's holy land, in the hour of her 'deepest calamity, is the romance of history. He determined to devote his l-ife, his fortune, his splendid hopes and promises, all to the cause of liberty. He crossed -the pathless ocean to defend her. He joined freedom's little band--the herald of morn- ing glory. See him with the blood flowing from his wound, trying to rally the scattered fugitives of the Brandywine, and during that awful winter when the tempest howled across the snow-clad plains of Valley Forge, ever ready to soothe his suffering and cheer his despair- ing comrades. Iiosts of Frenchmen hearing of his heroic devotion and daring intrepidity, rush to fill freedom's broken ranksg 'and we now behold him bearing the lilies of France to be twined with the Stars and Stripes of America over the ramparts of Yorktown. Had his days upon earth been then numbered and had his bones re- posed near the canonized bones of VVarren and lllontgomery, his name would have lived to flourish in immortal youth. For he had suffered not for his own country andthe liberty of his 'own people but for the salvation and perpetuity of free institutions of a foreign land and for the liberty of a foreign peopleg he had bled by the side of VVashington, in this H garden of the west where revolution Hrst rose in fire and went down in freedom. Never while memory remains, to record his deeds can the children of liberty forget Lafayette, the benevolent and bril- liant, who aided America with his gold, and her congress with his coun- sels, who gave her soldiers a lesson of forbearance and by his own beau- tiful example taught the faithless to be faithful. At last Lafayette beheld our glorious independence established. With his blood and his fortune he had helped to erect the alter and place thereon the sacred fire of liberty as a beacon light along the path- way of the centuries. He must now return to his own dear f atherland. The flame of liberty kindled on the shores of the WCSte1'H world was reflected back upon thevine-clad hills of his native France. The French people beheld its beams and hailed them as the guiding star which should lead them .out from tfie night' of ages. Inspired by liberty's triumph in America, they resolved to burst the shackles of despotism and strike for freedom. The long and bloody war for lib- erty was coming on. America was its inspi1'ation, Lafayette its apostle and the returning French soldiers its emissaries. It was a noble res- olution, but consummated, alas! amid desolation, the wildest anarchy and the exile of Lafayette. His crime the greatest that could be committed in the eyes of a monarch, was the attempt to free his fellow 125 countrymen. But when they transgressed the bounds of law and order, reared the altar of liberty 'bathed in tears and stained with the blood of innocent victims, he alone dared to defy them. ltloved by the omnipotent he stood amid desecrating smoke and flame and pro- claimed liberty protected by law, until all France wild for license in- stead of liberty, cast him out an exile. Abhorring alike the despotism of one man and the unbridled license of fanatics he sought to gain for his country a rational and temperate freedom. To this righteous end he directed all his efforts with a zeal and devotion fit to enroll him among the world's greatest benef actors. But as Moses was not permitted to enter the promised land, neither was Lafayette permitted to witness the consummation of .his colossal work in the establishment of a f ree-yet permanent and powerful na- tion. But he must have found sweet consolation in the thought that Freedoms battle, once begun, 'Bequeathed by bleeding sire to son, Though bafled oft, is ever 7.UO'l'L.U Noble, disinterested, generous, just, valuing life only as it enabled him to serve humanity, he lived and 'laboured that liberty might rise in light and life to cheer, bless and give hope to the down-trodden human- ity of earth. Driven from his country, bound in chains, and left to pine and perish in a dungeon he neither disavowed nor calumniated liberty. Though the confederated ltlonarchs of Europe might tor- ture him to death, they could not bribe him to dishonor. When prom- ised liberty at the price of allegiance to 'monarchy he returned an in- dignant No. And when after five years of untold suffering the stricken father of Franceis Constitutional Liberty was released from f etters he returned 'to plead with Napoleon for Republican principles, holding up the inevitable fate of tyrants, and the pure fame of the immortal few who patriotically decide when upon them alone rests the awful verdict whether they shall be the enslavers or the saviors of their country. i If one should seek the source of all his greatness, he would find it traced upon the tablets of his heart. He incarnated the spirit of his Lord and Master' whose word Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thy- self ,H had gone forth to all peoples. His great soul would have swept cruelty and oppression from the world and would have sent the glad rills of freedom flowing through every land and murmuring around every hearthstone their joyous' music. Love impelled him to offer his valor and virtue, his talent and treasure a willing sacrifice upon lib- 126 thy 'ha Mb M hugf W. sf 'Sf mba-. 4-3, -J , '14 M .WL 1 Q ffffgj. im.. 1 as up 51 . -WVP '4 W Wil ' i F.

It was this same love that caused him to plant the lilies of France in this holy land of freedom, and carry back the tender shoot destined to grow eternal in his own delightful clime. Because of this undying love the people of two worlds 'were united in an in- dissoluble bond of brotherhood, sworn to defend the glorious rights of freedom and humanity. In 1824 Lafayette turned once more to the scenes of his well-earned glories. His visit was like the return of a long absent father. Rising generations congregate around him, the shouts of unbidden thousands cheer himg the gentle availing prayer of woman invokes 'heaven's blessing upon him. A The world's history is full of the dazzling pomp and splendor of the march of kings and queens, but where eXcept'in the life of Lafayette has such homage been paid to virtue? Of all the shadowy hosts that have ever come to fill the world, what cherished favorite ever ruled an 'hour like that? Can the artist paint such scenes upon the sky? Can the sculptor impress them upon the great wall of humanity? No! It lies beyond the power of b1'ush or chisel to re- deem to the imagination, such scenes as shine in all their glory to bless the path of valor. But his mind is filled with the hallowed memories of departed days, his eyes seek in vain for brothers of that broken band, he wanders once more near the mouldering heaps where his com-- rades f ell, and now sails down the Potomac to cast one long lingering look upon the tomb of his departed Father. . t Far away across the wide Atlantic-there sleeps the hero whose name is famous in art, in sculpture, .in story, and in song. He hears no more the call of his bravercountrymen, nor the clash and death-song of battle, . - ' His blade leaps not at the long, loud cry, Nor starts and streams with a crimson dyeg He shouts no ccharge' 'nor the brave line leads, For he lies in the grave of his glorious deeds? He lies in gloryis grave mute and motionless, but mighty. His name a watchword upon the banners of freedom incites men to deeds of noble daring. The 'hero kneeling at his monument catches the in- spiration of his valor and dies for liberty. But long after the foot of timev has trodden down his marble tombstone and strewn his grave with the dust of ages, his humanity, his noble precepts, and his grand example will be marching on to the fulfillment of their immortal mis- siong the enlightenment of benighted worlds. x27 5555 .CQl1Ii'2ll COIIQSQ BO2ll'CliIlS Clllb 5555 Cupples Hall, erected in 1899, is one of the handsome buildings that adorn the campus of Central College. Situated near Science Hall with flowers and trees in front and blue-grass surrounding on all sides, it becomes a delightful place for one to spend his college days. Nature has shed her gifts profusely and man has done his best to make it pleasant and healthful. Those who have seen Cupples Hall admit that it is one of the finest boarding clubs in the state. The building is modern throughout. Bath rooms, electric lights and steam heat go to make itpcomfortable and delightful. The club has always been very popular with the boys, having accord- ing to the number of students from something near forty to one hun- dredboarders. Since its erection, under the management of Nlr. and 'Mi's. C. Orear of K. C., Mo., it has been a grand success.

From the dawn of Central's history there has been one secret that has shed around her name a halo of imperishable glory. In former times this secret was disclosed on Saturday morning, but the date of disclosure has been changed to Friday in order to make it more con- venient f or preachers who were usually called away on Saturday. If you look along the spacious halls of Central on Saturday morning you will see several ill-fated youths leaning in melancholy mood against the white walls which he deems he is never to pass unless as a corpse. What is the trouble? It is declamation day and these young men are soon to enter for the first time upon the stage of knee-action. In a few moments the work begins and the illustrious shadesiof ban- ished heroes listen to the words that were once their own. Demos- thenes hears his immortal language and wonders if any one will say let us go against Philip. Daniel Webster listens to his doom of Hayne by one and Hall now and f oreverf, The Hclanking of chains often breaks the sweet slumbers of Patrick Iienry. Lafayette is often allowed to revisit the scenes of his well-earned glories and depart again for his native France. Poor old Benedict Arnold' sighs and hopes that oblivion shall some day fold her wings forever. Even the wild fox is not unscared and the rank thistle 'nods its head in the windf' of .T im Davis. Napoleon is once' more called back to wear c'woodenshoes on the lonely billow-dashed isle of St. Helena. One hour of trial and all is over, the sages go back to rest and the fright- ened birds once more 1'esume their sway amid the sp1'eading boughs of the campus. , l Well might this be the secret of success. VVhoever has passed through this terrible ordeal for several successive years is able to face uncounted multitudesof upturned faces without the least fright. No others have such a rich inheritance because of the vast experience. No wonder Central's sons have won undying fame on many a crimson field for their fond Alma ltlater. 1 Long live libertyg Long live declamation day.

I ,, Q, HE city of Fayette is the capital of Howard Q9 gg, , L 9 n Jo county, one of the best and earliest settled coun- ties of Central Missouri. Fayette was laid out at the time of the last visit of Lafayette to the 4 p- United States and was named in honor of that illustrious son of France. Surrounded by peo- d ple from the older commonwealths of Virginia, Kentucky and Tennessee, it very soon' became the seat of excellent private schools. In 1839- 40, when the commissioners, traveling on horseback, visited the coun- tiesof Cooper, Saline, Howard and Boone, they came near choosing Fayette as the seat of the new University. o In 18414 there came to Fayette from lVIcKendree College, Illinois, a young man .named VVm. T. Lucky. He. and his wife began a school which they called Howard High School, and which grew- as the years rolled on. IIe had as associates in his work during those years several menwho left their work on many, many lives. They were Wm. T. Davis, Nathan Scarritt and Carr W. Pritchett. L Q y The fame of Fayette as an educational center was such that a del- egated convention of the M. E. Church, South, in session in St. Louis in April, 1853, selected it as the seat of Ha literary institution of the highest orderf, The following autumn curators were appointed by the St. Louis and Missouri conferences, who held their first meeting on December 9, 1853, to devise ways and means for opening the pro- posed new college. They adjourned without taking any definite steps, but were called together again sooner than they expected. On the twenty-sixth of January, 18541, the Howard High School was burned and on February 4 a joint session of the curators and of the new board was held in Fayette. At this session arrangements were made whereby the present site of the 'cOld Building was transferred to the new board. This was the beginning of the campus which at present comprises more than twenty acres.

A stately building Q the one still standingj was erected on the site of the burned one in 1856, and in this building the formal opening of Central College began in September 1857. Rev. Nathan Scarritt, President, and Rev. Carr VV. Pritchett, Principal, assistant. They took the boys and left the young ladies in the High School with llir. Lucky, who in 1859 secured pa charter changing the name to Howard Female College now Howard Payne Collegej. The last ante-bellum minutes of the Board of Central bear date June 17, 1861, and the first post-bellum J une 4, 1867. The ravages of war had swept over the land and the college building had been used as barracks and hospital. - October 29, 1867, there was held in St. Louis a joint session of Con- ference committees and a new Board of Curators, five from each Con- ference came into existence. On June 11, 1868, they elected Rev. VVm. A. Smith, D. D., Pres- ident, and he set about raising an endowment fund of EE-100,000, which amount was deemed necessary to be secured before the college should be opened again. He, already an old man, and worn with long ser- vice in Randolph-Macon College, Virginia, soon broke down, tho' not until, by a vigorous canvass, he had secured the desired amount of endowment. , 1 In the college building an excellent school was conducted, known as the Classical Seminary of Central College, until J une 1871. The following September the college was formally re-opened under the presidency of Rev. -J no. C. VVills, D. D., of Alabama. In his faculty were Rev. F. X. Forster, Rev. VVesley G. llfiller and Prof. O. H. P. Corprew. All but the last have passed intoithe beyond, but he abides with us yet, hale and hearty, his courteous bearing in no way lessened, and as prompt to meet his classes as ever, The Noblest Roman of Them All. r ' In 187 8- Pres. VVills died, leaving a memory whose fragrance yet abides, and in his stead was chosen Rev. Eugene R. Hendrix, D. D., whose early years had been spent in Central. He found the College in debt, the endowment nearly all gone and large deficits existing in the salaries of the Professors. Taking hold with a vigorous hand he initiated an era of expansion and enlargement. By J une, 1886, when he resigned to accept the Bishopric to which he had been selected by the M. E. Church, South, all indebtedness had been cancelled, the endowment had grown to 135 fE110,000, the campus increased, to several acres, there had been erected a gymnasium, a club house and a magnificent chapel, and both curri- culum and faculty had been enlarged. He had as co-workers such men as Corprew, Kilpatrick, E. A. Allen Qnow at ltlissouri State Uni- versityj , VVm. B. Smith fnow at Tulane University, New Orleansj , Armstrong, Frantz, Anderson and others. From '86 to '88 Prof. ,Cor- prew served as president pro tem,- and during this time there came into the faculty R. F. Bond and T. Berry Smith. In June, 1888, Rev. Jno. D. Hammond, D. D., became president, and served until J une, 1896. During his administration the campus was increased to twenty acres and the splendid Science Hallw was built. Showing in himself a grand specimen of physical manhood, combined with fine intellectual attainment and a religious character of the highest order, he sought to develop the whole man. Q He advocated physical training and had new equipments put in the gymnasium and he secured from Mrs. Catherine Johnson a tract of ground adjoining the campus, which constitutes one of the best athletic fields in the State. His' faculty consisted of Corprew, Kilpatrick, Frantz, Bond, Smith, Mumpowe1','White and others. , In 1886 there was elected for the first time to the presidency an alumnus of the College. Tyson S. Dines, A. M., 1880, of Denver, Colorado, was chosen in June and did some service during the summer, but an accident just about the opening of the Fall term befell him and he was physically incapacitated throughout the remainder of the year. At its close he resigned. As his successor another alumnus was chosen, E. B. Craighead, A. M. 0825, was called from the presidency of Clemson Agricultural College, South Carolina, and he entered at once on a vigorous policy which was prosecuted for four years with large success. It was during this time that the beautiful Cupples Ilall was erected, onenof the best college dormitories in the State. - It was the gift of lWr. Samuel Cupples of St. Louis, whose generosity has been more than once felt by Central College. Since the resignation of Dr. Craighead in June, 1901, Prof. T. Berry Smith has been Acting President and the institution has pur- sued the even tenor of its way. During the last eight years there have come into the Faculty in one capacity or another, several able and true men who are for the most part yet with us. Central College has now a record of fifty years from its inception and at no distant day will celebrate its semi-centennial. During these years it has had twelve Presidents and Acting Presidents, more than thirty professors, prin- cipals and adjuncts, and enrolled about 2,000 different persons of whom about two hundred have graduated. ,The children of Alma lWater, whether titled or untitled, are filling many places of credit in the world and to-day Centralis sons are standing shoulder to shoulder with the best of earth in the very forefront of educated Christian manhood. 6 I . s t N 'N mi ie. sim gf ' ' 1 ix, is K Na. , lil 5 as ia.-l H iislfrrg H 5 i' sa lb, , 'Wage ms? is ., au 9 mar' In 1 NU!!

Greever invited a number of his friends to assist him in spending the prize which he had won in the Preliminary Oratorical Contest. It is a well known fact that in such cases a man never wants friends, especially if it happens to be oyster sea- son. The crowd was composed of the following persons: hir. and M1's. C. Orear, Miss Sallie Siceloff, lVIessrs. Rennison, Giddens, Greever, ing to Orear's new patent 'painless jokes and in eating oysters. Ruth- Rutherford, Bowles and Osburn. T-he evening was spent in listen- erford called for oysters on the half shell but was informed that the wrong half -shell had been sent with these oysters, and he was compelled to take an ordinary fry. Giddens was very much surprised to learn that oysters have no bones in them, Osburn wanted a second dish of oysters but Rennison took him aside and told him that he might do this at Cupples Hall but it would never do here. They finally appeased him with a tooth pick. The ladies played a mean trick upon Mr. Orear. They kept him so busy laughing at his own okes that he did not get his oysters finished. He asked to have them kept over till the next time but his petition was overruled and Osburn was appointed the guardian over the remaining oysters. The running out of the oysters seemed to put an end to the How of conversation. Even M1'. Greever and Miss Siceloff' were affected by this unfortunate affair. Owing to this fact it was decided to adjourn sine die. Every one present assured hir. Greever that they had spent a 'pleasant evening. QMr. Greever, of course, is not included in this.
