P. H. MELL PATRICK HUES MELL Patrick Hues Mell, A. B., C. E., M. E., Ph. D., was born in Penfield, Ga., May 24, 1850. His father, Dr. P. H. Mell, was a distinguished educator, and late Chancellor of the University of Georgia. In 1871, Dr. Mell graduated at the University of Georgia with the degree of A. B., and in 1872 took a post- graduate course with the degree of C. E. and M. E., and in 1880 the degree of Ph. D. was conferred upon him. From 1873 to l 74 ne was mining expert of copper and gold mining companies in Georgia and North Carolina, and from 1874 to 1878 was State Chemist of Georgia. Dr. Mell was elected to the Chair of Geology and Botany in the Alabama Polytechnic Institute at Auburn in 1878, which position he held with distinction, and to the entire satisfaction of all interested in the institution, until his election to the Presidency of Clemson College, August 29, 1902. The present system of weather signals now in use by the United States Weather Bureau was invented by him, at which time he was holding the Directorship of the State Weather Service of Alabama. Other institutions of learning recognizing Dr. Mell ' s ability and worth, have made him flattering offers, but he has hitherto declined to accept, preferring to stay in the State of his adoption. Among these offers are the Presi- dency of Mercer University, and also the Presidency of the North Georgia Agricultural College. Dr. Mell is a member and an enthusiastic worker in the following Scientific Societies: Geological Society of America ; American Association for the Advancement of Science; National Geological Society; for a number of years was a member of the American Institute of Mining Engineers; Southern Historical Society, Alabama His- torical Society, and South Carolina Historical Society. He was also Director of the Alabama State Experiment Station at the time of his election to the Presidency of Clemson. Besides being a distinguished educator Dr. Mell is the author of several books on scientific subjects, among the number are the following: White ' s Gardening for the South (revised edition) ; Biological Laboratory Methods; Climatology of xMabama ; Alicroscopic Study of the Cot- ton Plant ; Fire Clays of the South ; Wild Grasses of Ala- bama and their value ; Gold Mining of the South ; and the Climatology of Alabama. Since Dr. Mell has taken charge of the affairs at Clem- son, improvements are visible on all sides. The entire corps and all interested in the College, are thoroughly pleased with Dr. Mell, and this year has been the most successful rear in the historv of the institution. Board of Trustees Hon. R.

Assistant in Drawing GREETING To be in the van-guard of every enterprise that is true and noble, has always been the ambition of the corps of cadets at Clemson. Along oratorical and literary lines. as well as in athletics. Clemson has been e minently suc- cessful, and now. in this Annual, our latest effort, we hope that the reputation of our College may be upheld. Our labor in getting out The Oconeean has been arduous, but the work lias been a work of L ve. If. in the years to come, this volume should be the means of bringing back- to our friends some of the happy days and fond associa- tions of College life, we shall feel that our labor has not been altogether in vain. In our efforts, a healthy enthu- siasm lias been shown by the student body, and for this we feel deeply grateful. If we have failed in our en- deavor our only excuse is inability. We have done our best, and Angels can do no more. 10 MAIN COLLEGE BUILDING History and Growth of Clemson A careful student of South Carolina history will note that at regular intervals of about thirty years, she has some kind of a revolution. About 1770 came the Revolutionary War, and in 1800 a small educational movement was started, ending in the establishment of the South Carolina College soon after. Thirty years later South Carolina was thrown into turmoil over Nullification, but this only proved to be the fore-runner of Secession in i860. Con- cerning the last period, or the time about 1890. I can think of no better word to describe it than Education, for out of that movement, known as the reform movement, grew South Carolina ' s greatest institutions, Clemson and Win- throp. It was about 1885 that the agitation for an agricultural college started, and in 1886 it took definite form by the passage of a resolution at the Farmer ' s Convention, ad- vocating the establishment of such a school. In 1888. the means w ere provided by Hon. Thomas G. Clemson, son- in-law of John C. Calhoun. In his will he left as a bequest to the State, the old Calhoun homestead, known as Fort Hill. This bequest consisted of about 800 acres of land and S80.000 in securities, and was given for the purpose of establishing an agricultural college. The Legislature, after a bitter fight, passed an Act in No- vember. ' 89. accepting the bequest, and work was begun at once on the buildings. The College threw open its doors to the youths of South Carolina on July 6th, 1893, and 446 students were enrolled. In 1894 the main building was burned, but was soon after rebuilt. Since that time Clemson ' s growth has been remarkable. A Textile Department has been added and every department has been enlarged and improved to a great extent. The student body has increased steadily and so many applications to enter have been made in the past few years that the Trustees have built another bar- racks so that the two together can now accommodate 600 boys. There are four full courses of study — Agricultural, Mechanical and Electrical, Civil Engineering, and Textile. Any one completing one of these courses is awarded a diploma conferring the degree of Bachelor of Science ( B. S.). These courses are arranged to give the student a good general education along with the special education he desires. The growth of Clemson in the past ten years has been marvelous. From a College just starting out, she has grown into one of the best in the South. Her equipment is second to none and the people are beginning to see that they made no mistake in establishing the College. Of course, Clemson has her enemies, whose chief argument is that too much money has been spent in enlarging and im- proving. To tliese few I would say, Come to Clemson and see for yourself, and I firmly believe that nine out of every ten would go away satisfied that they had been wrong. No one can deny that a great deal of money is annually spent on Clemson, but was money ever put to a better purpose ? The State puts in dollars and in return gets men who are industrious, educated and good citizens. The State could not make a better investment and she is showing her satisfaction by continuing the appropriations. It is the writer ' s hope that Clemson may continue to grow and prosper, and I feel safe in saying that if she does, it will not be many years before her name will be a synomyn of success and prosperity. Henry C. Tillman, ' 03. 12 -jr The Class of Nineteen Three Only a short while longer, boys. Till your college days are o ' er. And then away with the cadet gray — Back to the cit ' s once more. You ' ve labored long and faithfully, boys, But the goal you soon shall see. Well done, well done ! is the plaudit won By the Class of Nineteen-three. Sadly we note your passing, boys. Out in the busy world ; Where a peaceful lot is soon forgot ' Mid the throbbing, pulsing whirl. When you are safe ashore, boys. Think of the ones at sea. For our saddened hearts will oft revert To the Class of Nineteen-three. We wish you all you deserve, boys. Success shall your efforts crown : Make Clemson ' s name your road to fame, Nor heed Dame Fortune ' s frown. Happy we ' ve been together, boys, But the end we all foresee ; So here ' s our song to the parting throng Of the Class of Nineteen-three. R. E. M., ' 04. 17 History of ' 03 As our minds now wander back to our early College days, we recall to memory many faces of bright and prom- ising youths who were members of the band that began in ' 98 the work of preparing themselves for the hardship of life. At the beginning of our Freshman year there were one hundred and forty names enrolled for the struggle, which was to last four years. It was not a struggle in which man ' s physical ability was to be taxed and tested, but one in which their minds were to be trained, broadened and de- veloped. Of that number only one hundred and twelve reached Soph., at which time we were joined by twelve others who seemed anxious for a place in the struggle. Ninety of our classmates returned to College to under- take the work of Junior, and this time we were joined by five unfortunates from the Class of ' 02; many of this number fell beneath the burdens of Analytics, Calculus and various other branches of study, which they were called upon to bear. At last we became the Seniors of 03, sixty-two in number, and were joined by another classman, who had been compelled to leave College on account of his health ; of these sixty-three, one was compelled to leave College on account of ill health, another left to accept a position in a Southern city, and God saw fit to take unto himself an- other of the class, leaving sixty to reap the harvest of their diligence. Five of those who were once members of our class will never answer roll call on earth again — the sweet notes of taps have been sounded for their last eternal sleep — P. N. Shannon, P. T. Yillipigue, J. W. Ready. J. T. McNeill and L. O. King. Though they are no longer with us. their bright faces still linger in our memory. Of the two hundred and twenty names that have ap- peared from time to time on our class roll, only sixty of 19 those lads have baffled the storms of study and weathered the troubled seas of examinations. Our class has furnished some of the best football and baseball players that were on our College teams ; among them are John W. McMakin, M. N. Hunter, J. A. For- sythe, G. R. Barksdale, Jno. D. Hughey, C. Y. Sitton. W. B. Chisolm and D. Hope Sadler. Ye can also boast of several worthy writers and speak- ers, and of a great number of really energetic youths ; among the most energetic and successful workers are : The manager of the football and baseball teams ' o2- ' o3, who won for himself the distinction for being the best that Clemson has ever had : the efficient manager of The Oconeean; the manager of the Track team; the manager of the Dramatic Club, and the manager of The Clemson College Chronicle, who has won for himself distinction by his earnest and efficient work. Aside from the class of nineteen hundred and three ' s heroic deeds and sacrifices on the athletic field and in the class-room, it served its College most by the imperishable example of its noble work. 20 CLASS OF 190S TM H 6 V vCH CLASS OF 1001 •fANLM 1 CLASS OF 101)3 rouHTTzZ - NORRlS Urs ' KiSO m craR v ' SWAIf J CLASS OF 1903 ti r Rl ' tS ° Ood, LroRO.

And each year the places, made vacant by their retirement, must be filled by volunteers. A proclamation was sent out over the State in 1900 — a proclamation calling for volun- teers to rally ' round the standard of old Clemson and fight again the battles that have been so often and so nobly fought. We responded to the call — a goodly band of us (a hun- dred and a half all told) — young, thoughtless fellows, never realizing, perhaps, the step we were taking, never once dreaming of the long toilsome days and months and years before us. We were recruits then ; we are veterans now. the few of us that remain. We have struggled unflinch- ingly onward for near three long years now, and we have fought some hard fights ; and our ranks have been fear- fully thinned. At every brush with the enemy, a few of our brave boys have fallen, and others have grown faint-hearted in the face of the hardships and the fightings and have left us. A few recruits joined forces with us at the beginning of our second year ' s march, however, and are still pressing forward at our sides. Some of those fearful struggles still remain in memory, bitter-sweet, and we love to sit about in little groups after a day ' s marching and talk them over. Almost invariably we meet the grim-faced enemy either in February or in June. He seems ever to prefer extremes of weather for fighting. One struggle stands out boldly against the rest. In the early part of June, 1902, we came upon the combined forces of the enemy. We fought as we had not fought before ; already broken and winded and exhausted from that other fight — that other battle of battles which we had just waged within our own garrison walls. — still we went fearlessly into the fight. In that dizzy and whirling suc- cession the forces of Math, and Chemistry and English and Physics and a dozen more came down upon us. The battle passed, and we were conquerors. But that battle and that year ' s hard march cost us nearly half our number. We have fought other battles since, and must fight still others ; we have met the enemy strongly entrenched behind parabolas and hyperbolas ; strongly backed by the forces of hydrolysis and electrolysis. But at each succeeding fight the number of slain becomes less and less, and we sin- cerely hope that when we finally win our last great field — our Promised Land — every one of our devoted little com- pany will be there to gather around the standard of old ' 04 and join in the final yell.

Williams 39 History of ' 05 Early in the fall of 1901 we were landed at College, in full bloom of rathood. and immediately began to recon- noitre and spy out the seemingly hostile territory into which we had suddenly found ourselves thrown. We soon found that quite a number of our class were old students, who had started at the bottom and fought their way through Prep.. and as a reward, were now great Freshmen that could organize and be called a class. We started out with very bright prospects. — one hundred and forty strong. With such a host as this it did look as if we could conquer in the two great fights that were soon to come off. — February and June. — before we could be called Sophomores. Some of our number did fall in these two conflicts, but we could not stop to help them, as Cap- tain Time urged us on to more battles that had to be won before we could be called graduates. Judging from the histories and records of those that have long since left our College. — the great wonders that they have accomplished and the success that the majority have met with, as class after class have gone out to battle with the world, all this might induce one to ask why will not one history do for all classes from that College? Yes. that is true, if all classes were alike : but there are exceptions to the rules, and this Sophomore Class is a marked exception to the rules of classes both preceding and following it in this great and good Agricultural Clemson. We believe as firmly as it is possible to believe, that there is lying dormant in this class some of the finest ma- terial, some of the greatest things possible, that could be found in any body of young men that has ever existed heretofore between the Blue Ridge and the coast. It is true, that we have some lame ducks in our number and other deficiencies that are noticeable, such as the Immortal Fourth, — but right here let me sav that whatever the Fourth is lacking in speed down the flowery path of know- ledge, she more than makes up for the loss in good old hard natural grit, which is a power behind the throne in 40 breaking a line. There are other sections, though, that stand well, such as the First, Second and Third Mechani- cals ; then come the factory yaps — all of which have seats on the front row, except an occasional loiterer who now and then drops on a back seat, and before he is con- scious of his situation finds himself in the happy land of dreams, where he sees great cotton factories, all built for his especial benefit. But next come the farmers, a noble looking company, handsome to look upon, each one striving for a still higher seat in the synagogue ; and as he treads his way to the class ground seemingly in communion with himself, as he glance s up at you when you pass him, he looks as if he was about to say, Yes, boys, by the sweat of our brow you eat your bull and wasp nest. And of what more could I say ? Just imagine yourself on a foot- ball field, where the last contest is to take place which de- cides the championship of this beautiful South. The game is finished, and as cheer after cheer is echoed and re-echoed across the field, you catch the sound : Clemson the conqueror — the champion of the South. But who is that man that hammered his way through the line at every call of the referee? His name is on the roll of the Class of 1905. But there are others of this class that are mak- ing names ' for Clemson on the athletic field at home and abroad. And again, of what more shall I say, but there was a beginning so there must be an end, and that wont be long, though it seems afar off to us now ; but yet there will come a time, some day, we hope, when we will step down and out, to make room for others ; then we will look back and review in our minds the ups and downs that we had in traveling from Prep. to Senior in Clemson Agricultural College. 41 SOPHOMORE CLASS Sophomore Class Chas.

The thirteenth day of September is the dav that marks our birth into College, and doubtless this date and the memory of our days of infancy, were indelibly impressed upon us. by our superiors, the Sopho- mores. Our burdens seemed great and numerous, and we felt for the first time our littleness in this great world of boys, and discovered that we must now depend upon our own resources, and strive on amid the throng without the kind words of encouragement from mother. Thus it was that we began our career with one hundred and eighty lads. Some few have fallen from our ranks, but still we push on into the mist of study with an earnest will, and hope to have a goodly number in our ranks when we ascend to the lofty plane of the Sophomores. Our class has many youths in it that will show up well in athletics in the future, and hidden somewhere in our number are poets, novelists and orators ; they, too, will distinguish themselves when we have outgrown the baby- hood of the Freshmen. The Class of ' 06 is the first class to enter into the duties of Clemson under President Mell : and if we continue to travel in the path that we are now treading, the classes following us will adopt our laws as thev would the infallible, and follow in our wake. 44 FRESHMAN CLASS FRESHMAN CLASS R.

Where sin ' s concealed, or love ' s congealed, Or envy rends limb from limb. Over this small but wondrously made domain, A Sovereign comes with light and love to reign — A throne she hath where evil lurks in vai n. My Queen ! Part of my life is she ; The noblest, truest and best. When worn with care I think of her, And even the thought brings rest! She rules my life; upbuilds me; lends me pdwer To meet each task — withstand each trying hour, She gilds sad hours ; makes life a perfumed flower. My Queen ! Queen of the Southern skies, Tenderest of Southern hearts, Your sparkling eye with the heavens vie To rule the affection ' s marts. When will the hope that heedeth not despair Beam in your face; glint in your golden hair? ' Til then I ' ll wait, entrap ' t by the charm you wear. My Queen ! 51 A Midnight Episode Jim Dorx. of the Class of ' 03. was sitting at the table staring at the open book in front of him. It was evident that he had been thus engaged for some time, but as yet he had not read a single page of the book. There was a far-away look in his eyes and a suspicion of moisture might have been seen stealing down his cheek. That he was thinking on some very serious subject, it was easy to see : indeed, so deeply engrossed was he. that he did not see his best friend and chum. Blair Strong, when he entered the room. Gee! the old boy must have some deep subject on the brain. was Blair ' s mental comment. Hate to disturb him. but he is the only one who can do it. and I must see him about it now. As to what Blair wanted Jim to do. we shall see later. Suffice it to say. that it was probably some scheme requir- ing athletic ability, for Jim was the best athlete at college, and when anything requiring particular athletic skill was to be done, he was always wanted. Hello! Jim. said Blair, as he impressed his presence upon Jim by a hearty slap on the shoulder. Wake up. From the way you are staring at that book you must have one of Professor Money ' s seed thoughts on your brain. Sit down. Blair. his chum answered, when he had suf- ficiently recovered from Blair ' s hearty greeting to reply. I was just thinking of the dear old college and of the pleasant times I have spent here for the last four years. You know it is only a week now before we will leave its walls forever, and it makes me a little sad to think that we shall not come back next vear. And then. too. how scattered our class will be in onlv a few more months ! Oh, Blair ! it makes me sad to think of our parting in a few days, perhaps some of us never to see each other again. A good reason why we should enjoy ourselves while we are together. Come, shake off your pensive mood, and listen to the plan which I am about to unfold. Have a cigarette? as Jim deftly rolled one for him- self. Thanks. and when they had lighted the cigarettes and seated themselves comfortably. Blair began : As you know. Jim. our class has usually taken the initiative at this place, and it has more class spirit than any previous Senior Class. When we go out from here we want to leave a record that we will be proud of and one which will not be easily surpassed. I was thinking about this a little while ago, and trying to devise some plan which would show to every one our class spirit. The thought struck me that if we should put our colors on the top of the college steeple we would have done more than any previous Senior Class has ever done : and then I remembered the attempt of the class of ' 01 to put their colors up there, which came so near ending fatally. I started to dismiss the scheme as too risky, but I have thought over it again, and I have come to the conclusion that it can be done and that you are the man to do it. So. say yes, and we ' ll fix everything for Thursday night. But Jim was not quite so sanguine over the idea, and when Blair had finished, he drew a long puff on his cigar- ette and slowly blew it into rings, seeming unable to de- cide whether it was worth the risk. As the last ring left 54 his lips, he brought his fist down on the table and ex- claimed. I ' ll do it. Good. was Blair ' s comment : ' and now for the details. We can get up on the roof very easily, but how are we to get to the top of the steeple? There is the rub. It is fully forty feet above the roof, and the only way you can get up there is to carry a long ladder upon the roof. But how can we get a forty foot ladder up that narrow stairway? Jim put in. Seems to me it is out of the question to try and get a ladder on top of the roof. You are right ; but we must fix some way to get to the top of the steeple. Let ' s go and see Hal Rogers. He always manages to find some way to do things, and I ' ll bet you he will not be found wanting this time either. They found Hal attired in negligee, lying on his cot half sleep, but he was soon awake, and they were explain- ing to him their plan and the difficulty which stood in the way of its successful completion. His face plainly showed that he was very much interested in the plan, and when Blair had finished and laid the case before him, he sat up straight and said, You have the idea, Blair, and upon that steeple the colors shall go, if I have to get a pair of wings and carry them up there myself. Let me see, and for several minutes he was lost in thought, but he soon re- turned to the land of action. I have it now, he exclaimed. Jack Stevens, as you probably know, was once a cowboy and the champion lasso thrower of his country. He has not lost all of his ability and can throw a rope yet with some of his old time deftness. It will be an easy job for him to throw the loop over the steeple from the roof of the college building, and once the rope is fastened it will be an easy job. What do you think of that? Good, exclaimed both together, and they wondered why they had not thought of such a simple plan. We ' ll fix them up Thursday night just before com- mencement, and I ' ll bet some of the alumni will turn green with envy next morning when they see that we have ac- complished a heretofore impossible feat; and Blair, who had been the chief promoter of the daring exploit, per- formed a waltz around the room to give vent to his ex- uberant spirits. I ' ll go around and see Jack Stevens right away. I ' ll get him to go up on the college building just before it ge ts dark Thursday and lasso the steeple, and I ' ll carry the paints and colors up, so that everything will be ready at twelve o ' clock that night. About twelve o ' clock on the following Thursday night, four dignified Seniors each with a lantern under his coat stole cautiously out of barracks towards the college build- ing. They entered and, reaching the third floor, climbed the steps to the tower. The dangerous feat which Jim was about to perform began to come home forcibly to them. They did not talk much, and the face of each was serious. But they did not intend giving it up at this stage of the game. A few minutes later they reached the top of the steps and climbed out on the roof. Better say your prayers, Jim, Jack humorously re- marked, when he had looked up at the top of the steeple, seeming in the bright m oonlight to be a long distance up towards the stars. Oh, I am not afraid I am going to fall, Jim said, as he prepared for his climb. The bucket of paint he held in his teeth, while two streamers, one blue and the other grav. 55 were hung around his neck. Hand over hand he climbed until he had nearly reached the top. A few more pulls and he could place the colors on the pinnacle. The three waiting on the roof saw that he was very pale, and the thought passed through Blair ' s mind. What if he should faint ? The thought almost made him sick, but another look upward reassured him. for Jim ' s pause had only been momentary : and now he was at the top. Steadying himself with one hand against the steeple, with the other he tied the two streamers to the pinnacle. But the hardest part of the feat had yet to be done — painting ' 03 on the sloping roof of the steeple, and Jim hardly knew whether he would be able to hold out to finish it. But he decided to risk it. and skillfully he pulled him- self around to the front of the steeple. There he was sus- pended in mid-air. one hundred feet from the ground, with only a little rope to hold him. The danger of his position made him hurry, and with several quick sweeps of the brush he had the numbers, clear and large, painted on the side of the steeple. This done, he pulled himself to the other side of the steeple and slowly let himself down. When his feet once more rested on something solid, it is needless to sav he felt infinitely better. But certainly he was not more relieved than were his companions, for only when Jim had climbed to the top of the steeple did they fully realize the verv dangerous position he was in. Xext day. when the crowds began to gather, everv one noticed the streamers of blue and gray floating proudly from the steeple and in great letters the 03 on the side of the roof. It was characterized as one. of the most daring deeds imaginable by all : and a certain alumnus of the class of ' 01 turned pale when he remembered how near he had come to losing his life two years before in attempt- ing the same feat. The President was a man who liked such daring exploits, and he had always been the leader in all such at his col- lege. He was curious to know who had risked his life in such a dangerous feat, all for the sake of his class. So, he summoned the members of the Senior Class to his office. All knew that the President wanted to know something about the steeple ' s decoration, and. if possible, find the offender, and punish him for it. But there was no such intention in the mind of the President : and when they had all gathered in his office, he said. Boys. I want to know who has so decorated our steeple with your class colors. Let him who did it. own up. Jim Dorn was on his feet in an instant. I did it. sir. he said : and then the President, extending his hand. said. Let me congratulate you, Mr. Dorn, on the successful planting of your colors so high. If you climbed to the top of this steeple. I am not afraid of your not reaching the top in anything you do. Gentlemen, you are dismissed. Then Jim was the hero of the hour, for no one except the four who had planned the feat had known before who had made the daring climb. They lionized him. carried him around on their shoulders, and seemed not to tire in showing their admiration for him. Long before the hour appointed for the exercises to begin, the visitors began to pour into the spacious Memo- rial Hall. There was the usual chatter and hum of voices, the chief subject of conversation being the daring feat. The noise subsided when the President, heading the long 56 line of Seniors, came up the aisle and they took their seats on the rostrum. The exercises were begun by prayer from one of the ministers present, and then the President rose and said : Last night a bold and daring piece of work was done by a member of the Senior Class ; an act more taxing of nerve I have never seen. Every one of you know to what I refer — the planting of the Senior ' s colors on the top of the steeple — and I take pleasure in introducing to you as the hero, Mr. James Dorn, of Cawley. The announce- ment had been so unexpected to Jim that he started in his chair ; but, as the President concluded, he stood up and made a bow to the audience. Wave after wave of applause swept over the hall, and when the audience finally became quiet, Jim had made no less than six bows. Thus the class of ' 03 upheld its record for class spirit of the highest sort. N., ' 03. t YcVKW 57 PENDLETON ON PARADE My Mountain Home Yearningly toward my far-away home Memory draws me to-night ; Lovingly linger I here as I roam, Caught by the vision so bright. Home, with the loved ones waiting me there ; Home, so bright and so free ; Fancies will teem through the happy day dream Devoted to mem ' ries of thee. Rugged and steep the cragged peaks rise Near bv the sacred jpot ; Once more in mem ' ry they burst on my eyes, Not one outline forgot. Winter, so dark, hovers over it now, Still not a vestige of gloom ; Yet a few rays from the balmy spring days, And back trips the earth all abloom. Dearly I love you, my own mountain bower ; Sweet are your ties yet to me ; Ofttimes I spend a sweet silent hour Dreaming and thinking of thee. What is the charm that clings ' round thy name. And makes me to utter it low ? Why not other homes seem just the same As the one I left long ago? Strangely no other shade seems so cool, No other flower so bright ; No other home so constantly full Of soft, mellow, radiant light. Where shall I seek for the countless delights That race my youth ' s simple home? Or when shall I find such a mystical clime. And cease from my long fruitless roam? Home is still home, whether palace or cot, All are the same in the end ; Naught could detract from that loved mountain spot — Naught could it beauty lend. A snug, cozy nest of quiet and rest, Far from the rolling sea ; Leave me alone and I ' ll wander on Back to that one home for me. R. E. M.. ' 04. 59 A Freak of Fate About the year of our Lord 162 1, just fourteen years after that courageous little band of settlers first set foot in this strange land and began to build their rude log huts, the baby settlement suddenly found itself in a very grave and, at the same time, a very unique dilemma. The cause of the trouble was a great dearth of women in the colony. There were at that time several thousand men, but not more than three-score women in all Virginia. Xo colony could live and flourish under such circumstances ; still, the fair ones of the Old World did not like to brave the hard- ships and dangers of America. Men began to tremble for the life of the colony. Just when the situation was dark- est, there came an unlooked for ray of hope. One Edwyn Sandys, a British merchant, sailed from England with near a hundred adventurous girls, willing to come to America in search of husbands and better fortunes. The arrival of these maids at Jamestown, in the summer of 1621, gave a new impetus to the prosperity of the little colony. CHAPTER I. It was summer time in England. The sun. pelting down without mercy, seemed to burn the energy out of everything and everybody. Honey-bees and bumble-bees hummed lazily from one drooping flower to another ; the breeze, when it came at all, was drowsy and but half awake : even the little brook, which usually leaped and scurried along so eagerly toward the great Thames, now seemed to feel the spell, and gurgle by quite leisurely. All in nature seemed to sleep. There was not a sound, except the tinkle of cow-bells in the meadow. Two little playmates, a girl and a boy, were digging tiny wells and making toad-houses in the sand by the side of the lazy little brook. She was a dimpled little maid, with lips like red cherries, great blue eyes, and a wild tangle of sunny hair ; he a slender, lithe-figured lad, with a thin, white face and two starry black eyes, above which straggled locks of raven hair. Oh. Lau r ie. the little girl was saying, I ' m so sorry you ' ve got to go to the city. I ' most cry when I think about it. Maybe I never will see you any more, then I won ' t have anybody to play with, and talk to, and tell when papa comes home drunk and whips me and locks me up in the dark old closet. O, dear me, I wish I could go to Lunnun with you, or go to Heaven, where mamma is, or somethin . for I ' m so tired of stayin ' here. An ' when you ' re gone away — her voice failed. She began to cry. The boy was standing over her in an instant. Now, don ' t cry, Xettie — please don ' t, urged he. It ' ll be all right soon. We simply must go to London to get work, but we won ' t be gone so very long. I ' m ' leven now, an ' I ' ll soon be a man, an ' then I ' m comin ' back after you, an ' we ' ll get married, an ' buil ' us a big fine house an ' live in it. an ' then your papa won ' t whip you any more an ' lock you up — no, sir. and two black eyes flashed and a small fist clenched tightly. So the children went on building great castles in the air and laying great plans for the future, until the little .girl ' s tears were all dried up, and the well digging went on as before. Xext day betimes, Laurie and his father were on their way toward the English metropolis. Twelve months later 60 the black-eyed boy was a slave in a distant land — a bond- servant in America, bound for seven years. He had fallen an innocent victim to one of the barbarous customs of those semi-barbarous times. On the very streets of Lon- don he had been accused of theft, arrested, and, without even the mockery of a trial, had been sentenced to seven years of bondage in the colonies. It was not an unfrequent occurrence for the sons of noblemen, and even of the royal family, to be stolen from the street or arrested for some pretended crime and shipped, along with real trespassers of the law, to some one of Great Britain ' s colonies, there to serve their term of punishment. Some of these crimi- nals were fortunate in securing masters ; others were un- fortunate. Laurie was fortunate. There was not, in the parlance of those who knew him, a better-hearted man in the settlement, ' an old Squire Cullum. The big-hearted old bachelor soon learned to love his young bond-servant almost as his son. But even this could not greatly lighten the boy ' s sorrow. A master, no matter how gentle, is not a father ; a land of bonciage, be it ever so pleasant a land, is not home; bondage, even of the lightest kind, is not liberty. The boy ' s heart was heavy. He could see before him seven long, dark years of penal service — punishment for a crime that he would have scorned. Time after time he came to his master, and with tears protested his inno- cence. More than once the old squire was on the point of believing the stories that the boy told, and of relenting toward him. But how could he? The boy has got good in him somewhere, the squire would say to himself, and by Jove, I ' m half a mind to believe he ' s not guilty at all, but I reckon he ' s lyin ' to me. He must be lyin ' . So Laurie worked on. He often thought of his distracted father, and the blue-eyed little girl that he had promised to come back after when he was a man. And I ' ll keep that promise yet, he determined, and the determination grew more fixed as the years dragged by. CHAPTER II. Jamestown was all astir this morning. Something very much out of the ordinary run of affairs was on foot in the little village. All was bustle in the streets. For the past day or two the river had been lined with all kinds of craft, little and big. Sail-boats, row-boats, canoes, dugouts, rafts — indeed, almost everything that floats might be found on the James at sunrise. And still they came. Barges with their little White sails, bringing in planters from up-river - canoes and dugouts filled with redskin braves from the surrounding forests — they came singly and in squadrons. The little town, usually so quiet, was now a perfect bedlam, a veritable pandemonium of hubbub. Only one man in the colony seemed uncon- cerned. That man was Squire Cullum. He sat on his front door steps, demurely smoking his after-breakfast pipe, and dealing out good morrows to friends and neighbors in the throng of passers-by. ' Morrow, friend Sitgraves, he called out to a long- limbed youth, who was shuffling by at a great rate; whither in such mighty haste, neighbor, and why so bravely decked this bright morning? Has his majesty — God bless him — come to pay us a visit, and art going to receive him, man? One would think so, truly, and the squire shook his sides good-naturedly. Master Sitgraves reluctantly slowed his pace. Lord, neighbour, and where have ye been these many 61 days, he called back. Oons, but have ye not heard the news ? The maids, man — the maids are here, nigh four- score of them, fair as lilies and rosy-cheeked as ripe peaches. Tis high time I were in the church-yard now. an ' I would not be counted a sluggard. He waved adieu and went his way. The squire sat for a long time, making the fragrant blue smoke wreathe about his head. The pipe burned out. He refilled it and smoked on thoughtfully. An hour later his meditations were interrupted. From far down the street came the noise of a great commotion. The squire re- moved his pipe and listened. S life. said he. with a little laugh that was half jolly, half grim. and. I believe I ' ll take me down anJ — well, and see the business done. Queer business, that, any how. And I might — ha! I ' m not but forty-nine — quite a lad. I. to be sure. Boy! (he always called Laurie his boy ) ' Boy! — Laurie ! — Lawrence Mar ! the squire called lustily. There was no answer. He chuckled to himself. So, said he, my very bondsman hath caught the fever and hath gone, no doubt, to blink and gaze at the shameless maids. The old man got up and walked to the gate. He turned to the right and wound his way through the narrow, squalid streets. Ere long he found himself at the scene of the commotion. The squire was late. Already the business of wife-buy- ing was far advanced. To a large and level meadow opposite the city meeting house the company of damsels had been marched and there left to be picked and chosen from by such bachelors of the colony as cared to hazard the attempt. And the bachelor army was laying siege in dreadful ear- nest. Here was one blushing girl, close pressed by a clamorous would-be husband : there, a maid of more than ordinary beauty surrounded by half a score eager suitors for her hand. When the squire arrived, many dies had been cast for better or for worse. Xot a few of the maids had made their choices, the knots had been tied — a happy yokel had stalked away, leading by die hand his new-found bride. Others of the damsels, more choice, more wary in their husband-choosing, still hesitated. The squire felt strangely out of place. He looked about him uneasily. Over across the meadow he spied a tall cedar growing in a thick clump of willows and coarse grass. The quiet shade was inviting. He crossed over and took up his position near the cedar. Leaning on his stout walking-cane, he watched with interest the strange bartering on the meadow. A man in top-boots crossed over to the opposite side. He lead by the hand a maid of rare beauty. Both her beauty and her mien were singularly striking. The squire ' s eyes opened. He drew in his breath. Ralph Percy, by the Lord! the squire cried, in open astonishment. Ralph Percy, soldier, veteran, son of a hundred battles. — fallen at last. Well, may all the demons of darkness take me, an ' 1 didn ' t think better of my old friend and comrade. May the Lord have mercy — from out a little nest-like cover, formed by the coarse rushes and interlacing willow boughs, there came to the ears of the squire a sound mightily like a little half suppressed moan. The old man jumped. He turned about in a twinkling. The sound came again. He tip-toed cautiously toward the little tangle of grass and willow, whence the sound seemed 62 to come. In a most gingerly manner he parted the grass with his cane. He peered in, and saw something that caused him to start back. Then he looked again and drew nearer. A mite of a girl, with long golden hair thrown back over her shoulders, was huddled down in a heap on the grass. Her face was buried in her hands, and she sobbed so that her whole slight frame trembled. Heigh ho! my little girl, called out the squire, and what be ye doing here? She sprang to her feet, startled, and recoiled from the intruder. As she turned her teary face and big blue eyes fully on the squire, the old fellow ' s eyes ' grew wide. He could think of nothing to say. He simply stood and blinked and gazed at the shameless maid. At last, though, he found his voice. Oons! cried he, but thou ' rt a young looking lass to be come in search of a husband, and, by Jove, thou ' rt a bonny one to be coming so far after him. Of a surety, the English lads must be getting either very scarce, or very choice in their match-making of late. Dost really wish to wed, my lass? Did ' st really cross the broad At- lantic to get thee an help-mate? Do ' st, for true — Oh, no, no, no, I don ' t — I ' m sure I don ' t know what I want. I was so wretched — I wanted to get away from father, everybody, everything, she broke in on the squire ' s harangue. I don ' t want to marry — I don ' t — Tut, tut, child — there now, don ' t do that, the old fel- low said in his kindest voice. What ' s all this I hear about being wretched, and wanting to get away from father and everything else? Out with it, lass. Tell me what ' s the trouble, for troubled you verily seem to be. Wast a bad girl and ran away from thy home and father? Now, now. I wouldn ' t cry any more. Dost not know that it ill lie- comes a young woman to be weeping in public? Confide in me, little one. Mayhaps I can lighten thy burden. These fatherly words of the squire were oil poured on troubled water. The poor, half-frightened girl feared him no longer. She came closer to him. He again urged her to make known the secret of her trouble. At last, between fits of passionate crying, she told him a story of woe, woe, woe — a story of a drunken and brutal father, a blighted childhood, a story of misery, suffering, despair, despera- tion. She told him how she had been driven half mad with trouble, and ' how, in a moment of frenzy, she had fled the country in company with the husband-seeking maids. Then she fell to weeping again. Ha ! cried the squire ; come with me. little one, and cry no more. I have a plan for soothing thy trouble. He took her little white hand in his large brown one and started off briskly. Whither they went, she neither knew nor cared. She clung to that great rough hand as her only earthly support, and followed without a word. Everybody else was too busy with his own affairs to notice this strangely assorted pair as they crossed the meadow. They halted before the cape merchant ' s desk, and the squire nodded significantly. Thy name, lass? demanded he behind the desk, taking up his pen to strike off the name she should give. The girl started. Oh, said she, Xettie — Xettie Quest. My God ! came a hoarse voice from behind them, but they did not hear. The tall, black-eyed boy who had spoken, turned pale as death. He was Laurie. A mo- ment he stood there, staring vacantly, pallid, trembling as 63 one who had received the death-blow. He staggered, as if about to faint. Something seemed to choke him. He pnt his hand convulsively to his throat. Heaven help me. he groaned, as he made a great effort to recover con- trol of himself: heaven help me. He turned away. Seven months more, and I ' d have been free — free — free, he went on, passionately; seven more months! Heaven ! I was going back for her as I had promised, but — God — here she is — another ' s. Too hard — too hard ! There, indeed, was the blue-eyed little girl that, nearly eight years ago. he had left making play wells in the sand that sunny June day in England. She was a bud then. Xow she was a rose, full blown and beautiful. He had found her at last, his master ' s wife. Heaven had blessed and blighted him at one fell stroke. The heart-broken boy did not — could not — stand there long. He turned and staggered homeward. Hope was dead within him : life loomed up black before him. But he was a boy of strong and well-schooled will, that even this blow could not break or bend. He tossed the night through in bitter thought. When the sun peeped through his window next morning, his mind was fully made up. He would not make himself known. Why should I ? he asked himself. It ' s too late now — too late. Why- should I blab my troubles, and perhaps make her life mis- erable. She — the girl I love. I won ' t do it. I ' ll die first ! He went about his work silently, doggedly, grimly. He made no complaint to any one, but his love was not for got. His thin face grew thinner still as the days crept by. He saw her often — from a distance, — sometimes alone, sad, dreamv : sometimes with his master. She seamed alwavs thoughtful and attentive to the old squire. Was she really beginning to love him? Undoubtedly he loved her; his every action showed that. Poor Laurie! His heart was strong, indeed, but not strong enough to stand this con- stant strain. Slowly it was giving away. His will was bending before this awful pressure, as time dragged on. This seven months of standing with the prize almost within his grasp, still forever beyond his reach, were seven months of maddening torture. But they passed. His day of emancipation came at last. This day — this beacon toward which he had strained his eyes throughout seven long years of storm and darkness, at last shined down upon his very decks. But no glad cry of the rescued was heard. The boy seemed utterly unconcerned. Both the squire and his bonny little mistress seemed more interested than Laurie. Xettie knew him only as the boy, but she pitied this poor slave boy from the bottom of her heart. She had never seen him face to face, thanks to him. On Laurie ' s face showed no trace of joy. The squire noticed tiiis. and was puzzled sorely. In honor of the occasion and to make the ceremony more impressive, the bit of paper ( the receipt of seven years of service), which was to make Laurie a free man again, was to be formally delivered by Lady Cullum. So. at least, the squire told Laurie, who only set his teeth more grimly, and paled a shade. The hour arrived. Laurie and the squire sat by a roar- ing log fire in the little parlor. The boy was very quiet, and paler than usual. He was now to meet her face to face, to look into her very eyes, to almost touch her hand again, and he dreaded the moment. His lips were closed tight. The squire was watching him. 64 The girl, flushed rosy red with excitement, came in be- times. There was the same sweet, almost childish face that had beamed from under the blue sun-bonnet when she was the little girl in pinafores, digging plav wells, and gathering violets down by the meadow. Eigiit years had made its lines slightly firmer. That was ali. Laurie ' s heart gave one great bound as she entered, but he re- strained himself. By no word or move did he betray his feelings. The squire cleared his throat four times. Then he cleared it again. At last, though, he did get started, and made a very pretty little speech, dwelling at length upon Laurie ' s good behavior and fidelity to duty, and at last ending with an expression of heart-felt joy that the term of service was so nearly at an end. He hoped that the erring boy would profit by this, and do better in the future. Laurie did not speak. Then the certificate of freedom was presented, accepted — Lawrance Alar was a free man. For one moment the boy stood there, erect, white, with the paper trembling between his fingers. Then, with one convulsive movement, he crushed it into a tiny ball in his hand. Then he spoke: Sir, he said, and his voice was strange and hard ; sir, I, an innocent boy, have served you for seven long, long years, and I have served you well, God wot. I did not blame you. But now I am free. I am going away. You will never see me again, sir, this side of eternity. I have something that I want to tell you — that I must tell you, before I go. Eight years ago — just one year oefore I was stolen in the streets of London — I left a little girl in Eng- land, promising to come back to her when I was a man. I am a man, now, sir, and I would be the happiest man in America, if I could but keep my promise; but I can ' t — it is impossible — that little girl is a little girl no longer; she is now grown — a lovely woman . . . your wife. The sentences came in gasps. Gods-above, snorted the squire, but got no further. There came a little startled, half ecstatic cry — - Laurie ! — and a girlish form sprang almost into his arms. There was no corresponding emotion in Laurie. He put her off almost roughly ; she fell back, hurt and surprised. Don ' t you know me, Laurie? she asked, almost wistfully; I ' m Nettie. Nettie, yes, echoed Laurie, Nettie Cullum. Mistress Cullum. Ha! Then the squire got in a word. What mean ye, man, by ' your wife? ' I have no wife, the Lord in heaven knows ! Laurie forgot to breathe. What are you telling me? he gasped. Don ' t trifle with me, man. I ' m in no condition for joking. I ' m a desperate man. You say you have no wife — And, as God hears me, I speak the truth. ' Laurie stared foolishly, first at the squire, then at the girl, then at the squire again. The expression on his face was droll. The squire returned his gaze first in amaze- ment, then with a foolish smile : then, as the situation and the boy ' s meaning dawned suddenly upon him, with a loud guffaw. Ha, ha. ha! boy, did ye thi nk she was my wife? Ha, ha ! well, that ' s a good one on me. By the Lord, it is. My wife — he went off into another fit of laughter. A look on Laurie ' s face checked his hilarity. You don ' t see yet, he asked. Not my wife, fellow. — my daughter — my own sweet, loving little girl, bought, paid 65 f ir, adopted. Nettie! Laurie ! A little flutter like the rustling of a bird ' s wings. . . . then, the squire suddenly bethought him of some urgent business in yard. He was gone half an hour. Perhaps the little birds know what happened in the parlor during that time, but certain it is they have never told any one. Ere many months. Laurie was again in bondage, but with such a master ! Twas better a thousand times than free dom. Squire Cullum had made a good master, but as a father he was incomparable. V. B. Hall, ' 04. 66 Two Pictures Although it was fully an hour before the curtain was to rise, every seat in the immense theatre had been taken. Every class from the richest to the poorest was there. Every one was patiently waiting for the little bell to ring and the curtain to rise. The play was called The Heart of Gold, and this was the first night. The leading part was to be played by May Pembroke, and as her fame had preceded her, every one was anxious to see this wonderful actress. She was regarded as the best in the country, and hence a large crowd had 1 come to see her. Way back in the balcony, his face showing the lines of youth, sat Jack Armstrong. He had been working hard all day, and was now tired and restless. At last the cur- tain rose, and when May Pembroke came upon the stage he was struck by her wonderful beauty. Her every movement was to him the perfection of grace and loveli- ness. She was the most wonderful woman he had ever seen. She swayed him back and forth as if by some un- known power. He had never been so completely capti- vated in his life, and he began to wonder what it was that caused his heart to beat as it had never beat before. He wondered what it was about this woman that made him such a slave to her every movement. As he sat there and thought, the truth dawned upon him that this woman, this queen of the footlights, would be his queen forever. He knew that he might possibly never see her oft the stage, but to a man like jack, that made no difference. As he looked down on her as in a trance, he resolved to meet her — to know her and tell her that a great love had come into his heart. That was just the kind of man he was. That night, when he went back to his office, he stopped and looked at the little sign which hung over the door: J. Armstrong, M. D. As he stood there, he knew that such a woman as he had seen that night was not made to share the lot of such as he. He went in and threw himself down on his little bed in the back room, and thought of his past life, his struggles and his present position. The day when his father had turned him out without a penny came back to him with a pang of pain. He remembered how he had struggled through college, and how these struggles continued after graduation. It was hard, at first, but gradually his prac- tice had increased, and now he knew that it was enough to support him and let him enjoy a few luxuries besides. It was past two when he got to sleep, and the next morning found him tired and worn out. He went to the theatre the next night, and the next and the next. His love grew greater every day, but still he could think of no way in which he might meet the object of his love. Thus he went on for about a week. One day the porter from the hotel across the way rushed into his office and told him to hurry to the hotel — a lady had fallen and broken her ankle. Hastily grabbing his medicine case, he followed the porter, and was taken to the lady ' s room. Much to his surprise and delight, he found that the in- jured lady was May Pembroke. He recognized her at 67 once, and his heart gave a great leap. She looked up at him and begged him to ease the pain. Quickly as possible he did so. and then sat down. As he sat there and looked at the celebrated actress, he thought that she was more beautiful than ever. Her hair was the blackest, her eyes the bluest, her features the prettiest he had ever seen. When the pain was eated. she looked up at him. thanked him and smiled. Jack knew then, that if he had ever doubted his own love, that smile had sealed his fate for- ever. He called to see his patient very often after that, and was always welcomed with smiles. Her ankle got well all too quickly, however, and he knew that in a few days she must leave to join her troupe. He tried several times to tell her that he loved her. but never could do so. The day before she was to leave, he dismissed his patient and asked permission to call that night. She granted it. and Jack resolved to tell her or die. That night she met him with her usual smile, and they sat and talked for an hour on the topics of the day. Fi- nally Jack could keep his love to himself no longer. Miss Pembroke. ' he began. I know that you were not meant for such a man as I. but I can ' t help telling you before you leave that I love you. I love you with all my heart and soul and mind. He did not look at her as he said these last words, for he was afraid of her answer. They were sitting side by side, and before he could look up. her hand was in his and she was repeating his last words. I. too, love you with all my heart and soul and mind. Jack ' s arm stole around her waist and it was way in the wee sma ' hours of morning before he left. The next morn- ing when the train left, he knew that his heart was on it and that hers was in his little office. Before she left she gave him a little silver-framed picture of herself, on the back of which was written, With all my heart and soul and mind. They corresponded regularly and things went on this way until February. ' 98. when the world woke up one morning and read the astounding news that the Maine had been blown up in Havana harbor. War was declared soon after, and Jack volunteered as a surgeon in the army. He went to see May before he left and carried away many memories of their sad parting. Jack ' s regiment was sent to Cuba and after a few rest- less days and sleepless nights the battle of Santiago was fought. He had charge of one of the hospitals and found himself as busy as could be. He was passing through the tents one day when a young blue-eyed officer called him. He went over and sat down by him. Doctor. the boy began. I want to ask a favor of you. Will you grant it? Certainly. Jack replied. I know I haven ' t long to live, doctor, and I want you to promise to take this package back to the States for me. If you ever see her. tell her how I died. Look into the package after I am dead. The young man turned over, and Jack knew that it would only be a matter of a short time before his young life would be no more. He hastily put the package in his pocket and gave his services to the last moments of this young man ' s life. Returning to his tent, he took the package from his pocket and found to his surprise that it was addressed to Miss May Pembroke. He looked into the package and found a picture like the one in his pocket. On the back of 68 it was written, With love, from May. The pangs of doubt and loss of confidence began their work at once, and he then thought that May— his May — had not only been playing with him, but that other hearts had been made victims of her wiles and treachery. He kept both of the pictures, however, and even though his heart was near to breaking, many an hour was spent by him in looking at the face of the woman he still loved. It is a matter of history that Santiago ended the war, and so it was that soon after Jack was mustered out of the service. He returned to his little office and began his work once more. He did not write May of his return, for he felt that he could never face ber again. The winter soon came on again, but Jack made up his mind never to go to another theatre, and so most of his time was spent in looking at those two pictures, and he often wondered which was the luckier, he or the brave young man whose body was then resting in the tropics. One day he picked up his morning paper and saw that Miss May Pembroke was in town. The paper stated that she had just returned from her Southern home, where she had gone in the summer to be present at the funeral of her brother, Lieut. Arthur Pembroke, late of the U. S. Infan- try. Then it all flashed upon Jack. That young man was her brother. He had wronged her, and now he must right the wrong. He rushed to his little window and saw that it was snowing. He went back to the mantel and stood there looking at the picture of the woman he had wronged, and tears came into his eyes to think that he had been so unjust. fc While he was standing there, a beautiful woman might have been seen to steal up to his window, look in and smile. Soon Jack heard the door open, and turning round with the pictures still in his hand, lie saw May with her hands outstretched. Soon his strong arms were about her and hers were around his neck. Jack, she whispered, do you still love me? Yes, he answered; I love you more than ever. Can you ever forgive me? There ' s nothing to forgive, she said. After he had explained everything, she looked into his eyes and with a smile illuminating her beautiful face she said, Jack, you can have both the pictures now. Anything else? he questioned. Yes, dear; everything shall be yours now. H. C. T., ' 03. 69 HAMPTON Another hero passed away — Gone over the great divide. He who so fearlessly wore the gray Went out with the lethal tide ; And the mild eyes closed on the land he loved While we watched with bated breath ; And the gray head bowed ' neath the silent stroke Of the Reaper whose name is Death. Gone, gone; He ' s gone! Our leader brave. Our hearts reach out for thee ! Our land, you risked your life to save, With Jackson, Bragg and Lee. A people ' s love was his sole reward. And a hero ' s name his crown ; But his life so pure, shall still endure Long after he laid it down. The veterans ' hearts are stunned with grief — The noble men in gray; They mourn because the fallen chief No more to them shall say : Come, boys, I ' ll lead; who ' ll follow me? Then on with quickened breath ; Their fiery steeds meant victory, Their flashing sabers death ! He lived to prove what man can be When yielded up to God ; A rare type of nobility. Too seldom us allowed. He died to pay stern nature ' s debt. And left a vacant place; Yet still we see in memory, His cahn, illumined face. His life is closed ; another day Beams on his immortal eves; His loved State holds his sacred clay ; His soul will ever rise. Yet when this world shall grow apace. And things seem what they ' re not ; And we give way to an alien race, — Then shall he be forgot! R. E.

PICKENS INDIAN TREATY OAK (Near Clemson) Historic Spots Around Clemson A Mile and a half south of Clemson College, on the left bank of the Seneca River, north, and in full view of the Iilue Ridge Railroad, very near where it crosses the stream just named, stands a wooded hill. On its summit are several ancient oak trees. Here, too, the visitor sees mounds of earth and stone marking the chimney sites and the foundations of human habitations, long since removed, either by man ' s agency or time ' s decaying fingers. Six-score years ago this spot was the plantation home of Andrew Pickens — soldier, statesman. Chiistian. Its name was Hopewell. It occurs sometimes as Hopewell- on-Keowee. in contemporary records of both church and State. Here, on the 28th day of November, 1785 — two years, two months, and twenty-five days after the formal treaty of peace that closed our Revolutionary War — Colo- nel Benjamin Hawkins, of Xortli Carolina ; General An- drew Pickens, of South Carolina; Cherokee Agent Joseph Martin, of Tennessee; and Colonel Lachlan Mcintosh, of Georgia. Commissioners for the United States of America, concluded a treaty, known as the Treaty of Hopewell, or Hopewell-on-Keowee. with the Cherokees, their first treaty with the new government of the United States for peace and boundary delimitation. One thousand Chero- kees were in attendance. The negotiations occupied ten days. Thirty-seven chiefs and principal men. represent- ing nearly as many different towns, signed the instrument that marks the turning point in the history of the Chero- kee. This treaty was entered on the journals of Con- gress, April 17. 1786. It may be found in Indian Treaties. The reader interested will find a full discussion of the Hopewell Treaty, from official documents, in Fifth Annual Report Bureau of Ethnology ( 1888), pages 152-158, with map; Treaty Journal, etc.. American State Papers. Indian Affairs. I., pp. 38-44 ( 1832) ; also Stevens ' Georgia. II., pp. 417-429 (1859): Ramsey ' s Tennessee, pp. 336-337 (1853). This treaty, one of the most noteworthy with the Southern Indians, while it defined the relations of the Cherokees to the general government, and furnished a safe basis for future negotiations, failed to bring complete peace and security. Theodore Roosevelt, in his Winning of the West, tells us, it paid little heed to the rights and needs of the settlers; that it promised so much to the Indians that the whites refused to abide by its terms. Helen Jackson, in her Century of Dishonor, says: One notable feature of this famous treaty was the speech of an Indian woman — ' The war woman of Chota, ' one of the Cherokee ' cities of Refuge. ' ' Mrs. Jackson gives an extract from this speech. The Indian squaw ' s ideas of woman ' s service to her country were decidedly Napoleonic. Tradition says, when the Cherokees, lying about, walk- ing around or sitting on the hillside during the treaty, caught glimpses of Mrs. Pickens ( nee Rebecca Calhoun, aunt of John C. Calhoun ) going about house or yard busily engaged in domestic duties, they pointed at her and ex- claimed. See! Long Knife ' s squaw! — Long Knife being their name for General Pickens. Hopewell Hill, with its Treaty Oak, is but one of several points of interest in the immediate vicinity of Calhoun ' s old homestead — of South Carolina ' s Agricultural and Me- chanical College. 74 A mile or so from the Treaty place, eastward, is the Old Stone Church, the official name of which was Hopewell- on-Keowee. In its God ' s acre sleeps General Andrew Pickens — an elder of the congregation ; other illustri- ous Carolinians — ministers, authors, politicians and sol- diers — soldiers of the Revolution, of the War of 1812, and of the War between the States. Very near the Pickens home, on a commanding site on the same side of the stream, stood Fort Rutledge, built by Andrew Williamson in the memorable summer campaign of 1776. Mr. Calhoun changed the name of his place from Clergv Hill to Fort Hill, in commemoration of this stronghold, once garrisoned by two companies of range rs. Across the Seneca — in full view of the Fort and of the Pickens home — stood the Indian village of Seneca, where the Carolinians, under Williamson, in the campaign re- ferred to, after encountering a stout but useless resist- ance, destroyed six thousand bushels of corn and burned all the Indian houses. This town gave the river near by its name ; just as Keowee — fifteen or twenty miles up the stream — the most important town of the Lower Cherokees, opposite Fort Prince George, gave name to that portion of the river — the name changing where it re- ceives the waters of Twelve Mile Creek. On 1 6th January, 1786, a treaty with the Chickasaws was made at Hopewell. To speak of it would carry us beyond the proper limits of this article. Wm. S. Mourisox. 75 The Old Smoker ' s Dream As I smoked my old pipe one winter eve. Watching the smoke as it curled and rose. My wandering thoughts caused my breast to heave And fall at the thought of Life ' s many woes. I remembered that day — long, long ago — When she and I were lovers still : And I thought of those words that she whispered low. And the recollection my heart did thrill. Then turning from this to happier davs. I thought of another event in my life. Which seemed as a moonbeam to cast its rays Of blessed peace over all my strife. ' Twas our wedding day. and I heard the bell-. And I saw the preacher before us pray. And speak that which to a lover tells The tale of his happiest, brightest day. I rein my pipe, and I dreamed once more. And my tear-dimmed eyes watched the curling smoke. As i thought of that day when — my happiness o ' er — I walked from her grave with my own heart broke. And then with a sigh I laid my pipe down. And fell with trembling knees to the floor : My refuge in prayer at last I found. And my smoke and my dream were o ' er. 03- EXAMINATIONS We remember, we remember. In those days not long since past, On each face that gave us shivers The smiles that wreathed them last. The smiles of satisfaction That portray the joy they feel, As they grind our hopes to atoms Beneath examination ' s heel. At nine they come in class room, And pass the papers ' round ; Then grin like painted demons At the hardships we have found. Then the currents surge to power, The volts grow fierce and strong; Resistance rising swiftly Must crush us as the throng. How the pencil grows to fullness, Having stress and strains within ; And our ears grow deaf with hearing The molecules thump their din. Oh, we grow so tired of hearing The tactics tick away; The cannon ever booming. And men with ten cent ' s pay. Now here comes Daddy with a joke, And laugh we must or fail ; For Antony loves Cleopatra And Caesar ' s well and hale. There ' s something wrong, we know it. There ' s an atom lost somewhere. For the Trigonometric functions Don ' t prove up bright and clear. Then we ask a simple question, And expect the same reply. But to our consternation A fear our hopes belie. We ' re told the hurt dog hollows, About wagons and their rattle; How our statements and the author ' s Must differ in their prattle. Oh, the talus land is falling. We feel an earthquake shock ; Or stretch the imagination To see water eating rock. They tell such marvellous stories Of all the things they do ; How the land is always sinking And the mountains burst in two. Oh my time would fail to tell you How Young Cap flies around ; How the engines have diseases. And infinity is found. How the textile yaps go spinning. Calling out the tips and down-. And try to put on paper The tints of the ladies ' gowns. But then it ' s all in life, boys. And the grins we thought so low, Were only the expressions of pleasure At the manly struggles we show.

The Me- chanical course presents two more routes by which he can obtain the object for which every one is laboring, viz : a diploma. These two alternatives are the Civil Engineer- ing Course and the Electrical Engineering Course. It is of the latter that we shall endeavor to give a short descrip- tion. There are two Electrical Laboratories where the student is taught the Electrical branches. These are the Junior Instrument Laboratory and the Senior Dynamo Labora- tory. In the former building the Junior Electricals are taught the fundamental principles of Electricity. In the latter the Seniors are taught the application of these prin- ciples with reference to machines of both direct and alter- nating current types. The course is composed of theoreti- cal or class room work and the practical or laboratory work. Aside from the study of Electricity itself, the stu- dents are also required to study Mechanical Engineering, Physics, Mathematics through Calculus, and within the last year Geology has been added to the course. Besides these studies having direct bearing upon the study of En- gineering itself, the student also takes English, History and Military Science. The shop work consists of Mechan- ical Laboratory, Mechanical Drawing, Physical Labora- tory, and Machine Shop. The object of the course in this department is to give the average young man as broad ' an education along Engi- neering lines as four years ' training will permit. An elec- trical engineer should not only be a good electrician and mechanic, but a good business man as well. Above all, he should be a man of culture and integrity of character, capable of leading men of all walks of life. It is with a view of giving the student all of these requisites that the course at Clemson is regulated. We hope that this course will go on improving, and feel sure that its success in the past sustains us in the prediction that it will continue in the future to turn out engineers of ability and honesty. 105 ELECTRICAL LABORATORY The Agricultural Department The existence of this course dates from the founding of the College in 1893. The people of the State had long seen the need of educated farmers, and when Clemson was founded, it was believed to mark the beginning of a new era in the agricultural industry of the State. It is a known fact that agriculture is a harder problem, and requires a greater knowledge of relating sciences now than in the days of our forefathers, when the soils were new and fer- tile. The objects of the course are to teach the student how to get the greatest returns from his farm at the least expense, and more especially how to make intelligent observations of what he sees in his daily life. To do the former, he must know what kinds of soils are best adapted to his pur- poses, what fertilizers are best to use under different con- ditions, how to combat most successfully plant diseases and insect pests, and how to till the soil most effectually. To do the latter, he must learn to make close observations during his College course. The training given in this course does not turn out a graduate especially proficient in any one branch of science, but gives him an elementary course in a number of branches, upon which he can build a higher education. A number of our graduates have taken post-gra duate work here, and are now holding re- sponsible positions. Among the subjects taught in this course are : General agriculture, in which the student is given a practical know- ledge of how to farm on a scientific basis ; horticulture, which gives the student a knowledge of gardening, and also three years ' experience in caring for an orchard. The 107 College orchard is several acres in extent, and is an ideal one. Veterinary science is one of the most popular of the courses. This department is provided with an up-to-date hospital, and the students have one afternoon a week de- voted to clinic work. They become familiar with how to diagnose and treat the common diseases of domestic ani- mals. Dairying is another important factor of the course, in which the student learns the theoretical and practical sides of modern dairying. Other subjects taught are: Botanv. Entomology. Bacteriology. Animal Husbandry, Mineralogy and Geology, each of which is provided with a well equipped laboratory. Chemistry is the most thor- ough, and best systematized of all the courses. In it the student is given three years of theoretical and practical training. He acquires a thorough knowledge of Quanti- tative and Qualitative Analyses, making a specialty of fertilizers. The total valuation of property belonging to this course is $50,000, not including college lands, fanning implements, etc. The Board of Trustees has decided to give us an Agricultural Hall, and probably this will be the next building erected on the Hill. 108 VIEW AT CLASS GROUNDS SCENE ON CAMPUS Civil Engineeering The Civil Engineering Course at Clemson is one of the oldest in the College as well as the most carefully arranged and thoughtfully equipped with the instruments used by the modern engineer in his hroad field of work. During the Sophomore year all students are taught the elementary principles of land surveying, and are given theoretical and practical work in the field. This work. however, gives to the student but a small insight into the broad and varied work which the civil engineer of to-day may expect to do. and oftimes they think, as do many others, that the ordinary county land surveyor is the civil engineer, but this term implies much more, and one engag- ing in tins work must possess a thorough knowledge of higher Mathematics. Astronomy, Geology, Physics, and the properties of the material which he uses in his different structures, as trusses and bridges, and above all require- ments, that of good judgment is most requisite. It has been well said that the progress of a country and the enlightenment of its people may be well judged from the magnitude of the work of its civil engineers. The civil engineer may not only be called upon to survey, and divide, tracts of land, but to lay out a town ; to plan its system of water supply and its sewerage ; to locate, con- struct, and maintain its roads and highways ; to construct canals and railroads for the town, in order to better its commercial facilities ; to design and erect the bridges and roof trusses : to build the lighthouses on the coast, and to tunnel under mountains. During the Junior and Senior years of the civil engi- neering students much time is spent in putting into prac- 110 tice in the field what the student has learned in the class- room, and in this way the student is brought face to face with difficult and varied problems met with by an engi- neer in actual service. Much time and work is spent in making topographical maps of different sections of the country, such as is necessary along a proposed line of railroad, or for the purpose of reservoir construction and the changing of water courses. Since it is necessary that the engineer be a good draughtsman, the students in this course are given such practice and instruction as are most requisite in the designing and planning of that work. The thoroughness of this course taught by untiring and interested professors has been shown by the many high and honorable positions held by the former students in this course at Clemson. Ill CALHOUN MANSION EXPERIMENT STATION VIEW ON CAMPUS SECTION OF ENGINE ROOM Because of the great interest manifested in the cotton mill industry throughout the entire South, the citizens of our State recognized the necessity of a school for the in- struction of young men who desired to enter this line of work. Clemson had already been established and had proved a success. So it was, that at the old homestead of John C. Calhoun, the first preparations were made to in- struct the youths of our Southland in that great branch of industry which has indeed proved itself a veritable bonanza to her children. In 1898, fifteen thousand dollars were taken from the general funds of the College and appropriated for the establishment; of the Textile School. Interest in the school increased to such an extent that in 1900 it was found im- perative to increase the size of the building in order that additional machinery might be installed, and also that room might be made for a dye-plant. New apparatus and ma- chinery are being added continually, and the building and equipments are now valued at fifty-five thousand dollars. Although the youngest department of the College, it has grown so rapidly that it now ranks with the oldest, thirty- two graduates having been turned out by this department in the three years of its existence. The course not only gives the student a special knowl- edge of textile subjects, both theoretical and practical, but at the same time he receives such literary education and refinement of mind as are essential in a good general edu- cation. The building is a large, three-story brick structure, built on approved standard cotton mill plans, and containing all of the latest improvements and conveniences. The third floor contains the weaving department and chemical labora- tory. The second floor is occupied by the carding and spinning departments, and on the ground floor is situated the dye-plant. Lecture rooms are on each floor, and for the benefit of the students, a departmental library has been established in the building containing books by all of the recognized authorities on textile works. Here, also, are kept on file the leading periodicals relating to the subject. Since the establishment of this department at Clemson, other States have seen the necessity of such a movement and established similar branches in their mechanical col- leges. Thus the movement set on foot by South Carolina has so spread that now it is only the men with a technical and practical knowledge combined who can command the leading positions in our South. Such have been the men that the Textile Department at Clemson has endeavored to turn out. and we are glad indeed to say that among those who claim Clemson as their Alma Mater, there are many of the Textile graduates who have obtained promi- nent positions in their chosen vocation. 113 TEXTILE BUILDING — 1 PmstoS CHEMICAL LABORATORY (Largest in the South) Athletic Association Prof. W.

The Cleiri ' sonian ' s had no athletic organization except the Military Department, and very naturally they longed for something more sportsman-like. Their dreams of entering the athletic world were real- ized when Prof. Riggs introduced football in 1896. With this started their thirst for the scrimmage and contest upon the diamond, and since then athletics has become more and more prominent, until now it is recognized as being very essential to a man ' s education. Other branches of athletics were introduced, and now we have, not only football and baseball teams, but also track and tennis teams. Athletics not only develops a man physically, but it also develops him mentally and morally, and causes him to have a higher sense of honor and integ- rity, and increases the college spirit of the whole student body. The reputation of a college depends largely upon its athletic notoriety, and the greatest colleges of our country owe their success, to a great extent, to their wonderful developments in all athletic branches. By the introduction of athletics Clemson has gained in popularity and importance, until now she is one of the best known and most feared colleges of the South. It is evident, since only a few participate in the outdoor sports, that the other students should have some way in which to develop themselves physically. Nature demands, as was said by John C. Calhoun, That a strong physique is an essential to a healthy and developed mind. A well equipped Gymnasium, with a physical instructor, would furnish to the student body a means of developing the youth physically ; and with this addition to our department of athletics, the College would send out into the world men better trained, mentally and physically, to battle with and overcome the hardships of life. 119 Football First game of season with A. M. of N. C. at Clemson College, October 4, 1902. Played on a sloppy field in a downpour of rain. Line up as follows: Sadler, (Capt.). Riglit End; Barn- well, J. G., Right Tackle; Forsythe, J. A., Riglit Guard; Green, H., Centre; King, L. O., — Fickling, Left Guard ; DaCosta,-King, Left Tackle: Sitton, C. V., Left End: Maxwell, J., Quarter Back; Gantt. J., Right Half Back; Lawrence, Left Half Back; Hanvey, C, Full Back. Score — 11 to 5 favor Clemson. Second game of season was played in Atlanta against Ga. Tech. Easy game for Clemson. Score 44 to 5. Third game of season was played in Greenville against Furman University. Clemson, though badly outweighed, placed 28 points against Furman ' s o. Fourth game of season, with Carolina in Columbia. Clemson defeated by a score of 12-6. Fifth game of season, and second played at Clemson College, was with Georgia University. Although Georgia fought hard, Clemson won by a score of 36 to o. Sixth game was fought in Auburn against the Auburn- ites. This was probably the hardest game Clemson played this season, although she won by a score of 16 to o. Seventh and last game of season was played in Knox- ville, on Thanksgiving Day, against the Tennesseeans. After a cold fight, Clemson won by a score of 1 1 to o. Line up of last game; Sadler, D. H. (Capt.), Right End ; Barnwell, J. G., Right Tackle; Forsythe, J. A., Right Guard ; Green, Centre; Kaigler, B. H., Left Guard; Gar- rison, W. D., Left Tackle; Tillman, H. C, Left End; .Maxwell, J.. Quarter Back; Gantt, J., Right Half Back; Pollitzer, H. R., Left Half Back; Hanvey, C, Full Back. This line up, with the exception of Tillman, who substi- tuted Sitton, was the Varsity team at the end of the sea- son of 1902. The following men won Varsity C ' s this year : Sitton, Barnwell. Tillman, Sadler, Garrison, DaCosta, Green, Gantt, Maxwell, Pollitzer. Hanvey, Kaigler, Forsythe, Lawrence. 121 Looking at the past season from all standpoints, it is un doubtedly the most successful season in football that Clemson has ever had. For the first few days and weeks, things looked very gloomy for Clemson. It looked as if her shares of the football glories would be meagre and seldom dealt out. It is true, that large numbers of men, both large and small, turned out to try for the team, but it would have made an old player groan to see how ignorant and inexperienced they were. Well, these babies at the game, we might call them, set to work with a will and under Coach Heisman ' s and Prof. Riggs ' untiring labor and training, scon had the signals learned and the play going with plenty of ginger and smash. As this young team played game after game, they changed from raw re- cruits to toughened and experienced veterans, and at the end of the season, they proved what they could do in their Thanksgiving game. This game proved to the world that these cubs, as they were called by one team, have got the blood of their forefathers in them, and next year will see them grown into strong young tigers, with lots of experi- ence ; and woe to the team who thinks it has a snap then. The secret of Clemson ' s success this season was the grit, willingness, and determination with which her plavers went at the game. The almost superhuman efforts of her players, the co-operation of the student body, the untiring labor of Coach Heisman and Prof. Riggs, and the superb management of Joe Wyse, have their just reward in Clem- son ' s winning first place in the Southern Intercollegiate Athletic Association this season. 122 ; 4 ? , % ,v : FOOTBALL TEAM 1902 (Champions S. I. A. A.) Football at Clemson BY J. V. HEISMAN. It is liardly an exaggeration to say that the possibilities in the scientific development of the game of football are only beginning to be realized. Perfection was supposed to have been attained a dozen years ago ; but each successive season since has witnessed the invention of new plays and improved systems of offence and defence, until now the game is as far ahead of what it was a decade ago as the electric car is ahead of the old time stage coach. Each college now aims to have a style of play of its own. and so many 2sd various have these systems — particularly of offensive play — become, that no one defensive formation will suffice to meet the attack of all the teams on a season ' s schedule, as was formerly the case. This state of affairs has created a greater demand than ever before for scientific and original coaches — coaches who can devise plays that will gain ground in spite of the best and most up-to-date knowledge of the principles of defense, and who. when confronted by the exigency, can invent defensive combinations to stop the most powerful and puzzling attack, when that attack is known and un- derstood ; yet. at the same time, leaving no weak or un- guarded spots for unexpected or surprise assaults. Nat- urally enough, then, not all good ' players make good coaches. To play one position well under competent in- struction, is one thing : but to understand all positions and combine them in effective formations, is quite a difficult thing. Beyond this still remains the necessity on the part of the coach for an ability to impart his own knowledge. to inspire his men, to keep them in good physical condition, to adjust the development of his team to the varying de- mands of schedules oft changed ; and, finally, to study his men individually and know of what each is personally capable. In the light of these required qualifications, it is small wonder that successful coaches — i. c, those who can consistently turn out winning teams year after year no matter what the obstacles and conditions — are few and far between, ar.d when found it is equally small wonder that they command salaries practically without limit. At Clemson College we have a style of football play radically different from any other on earth. Its notoriety and the fear and admiration of it have spread throughout the length and breadth of the entire Southern world of football and even further. There is not a single offensive play used that was ever learned from any other college, nor are the defensive formations any less different than those of other teams. Three wonderfully successful sea- sons of Heisman Football have served to establish the system as Clemson ' s traditional policy of play. All col- leges should have fixed athletic traditions and should be loyal to them as to the institution itself ; and to the com- plete unity and harmony of athletic opinion and sentiment existing at Clemson is due no small share of the credit of her glorious athletic record. I have often been asked to select from all the teams that I have coached an All-Heisman Eleven, and at the re- newed request of the editors of The OconEEan, 124 I will here endeavor to make such a selection. The task will be no easy one, for in the course of eleven years of coaching many more than eleven times eleven players have come under my instruction, and of this great number it may perhaps be said that none were poor (else they came in for little or no instruction ) , few were ordinary, nearly all were good, and some were great. The teams I coached and, therefore, have to select from, are the Oberlin College (Ohio). Team of ' 92 and ' 94, the Bucnel College (Ohio). Team of ' 93, the Auburn (Ala.) Teams of ' 95, ' 96, ' 97, ' 98 and ' 99, and the Clemson Col- lege ( S. C.) Teams of ' 00, ' 01, and ' 02. Xo two of these teams were coached in exactly similar systems. The changes of play from year to year were frequently start- lingly marked, and players who did exceptionally good work under one system might not have been so fortunate under the system of a different season ; but as I invariably make my plays conform to the needs and abilities of the players I have on hand ( not the players to the plays ) , I would anticipate no difficulty in evolving a system to suit POSITION Right End Right Tackle Right Guard Center Left Guard Left Tackle Left End Quarterback (Capt Right Half Left Half Full Back All Heisman Eleven. PLAYER Sitton Pierce Vann Mitcham Glenn Teeters Johnson , ) Williams Hunter Williams Penton The average weight of this team would be about 177 lbs. (stripped), and would constitute satisfactory material, physically and mentally, to hold its own with the very best teams of the country, if properly coached. Carl Wil- liams, captain of the Oberlin team of ' 92 and afterwards captain of the great Pennsylvania teams of ' 95 and ' 96, would make an ideal captain and field general ; while there is hardly a man on the team who was not remarkable both as a ground gainer and a defensive player. These players have, of course, been assigned to the team of the year in which they did their best work. In a number of cases it has been doubtful which of several men deserved the place ; thus Stokes, Auburn, ' 97, and Alerriman, Oberlin. ' 92, both rush Sitton very close for the position of end, while all my quarter-backs have been so good that it has been difficult to select even Williams from such a galaxy of stars as Tichner, Holcombe, Huguley, Lewis and Maxwell.

Score 10-2 favor Clemson. Third game of season also played at Clemson. Cornell University vs. Clemson. This is the second year Clemson has defeated the Yankee team, the final score being 6-2. Fourth game of the season was played at Charleston, be- tween V. P. I. and Clemson. Clemson gave her old an- tagonist a sound 1 flogging, piling up a score of 25 to o. Fifth game of season resulted in Clemson ' s placing 4 inns against the Citadel ' s 2 in a hard game in Charleston. Sixth game. Mercer vs. Clemson, at Macon, Ga. Score 1 1-3 favor Clemson. Seventh game played in Atlanta, against the Techs. Clemson defeated by a score of 12 to 4. Eighth game played on Clemson field against Georgia. Score 2-1 favor Georgia. Ninth game played at Newberry between Newberry and Clemson. Score 1-0 favor Clemson. This game, in which 10 innings were played, was probably the prettiest game of the season. Tenth game fought out in Columbia. Carolina vs. Clemson. Final score 3-1 favor Clemson. Everything being considered, this was a very successful season. The team was composed chiefly of new men. The subs, for this team were Whitney, Martin, and Weir. 127 BASEBALL TEAM 18ft! WYSB, Mgr. R.ODGERS, 3d. GOGGAXS, S. S. Gantt, rf. Maxwell, c. BASEBALL TEAM 1903 Dexdy, If. and p.
