Hardin, this book is affectionately dedicated, as a token of our love and esteem, by the Editors COL. M. B. HAKDIN MAJOR MARK BERNARD HARDIN Major Mark Bernard Hardin, how Professor of Chemistry in Clemson College, S. C, was born at Alexandria. Va.. August 14, 1838. He is the son of Lauresten B. Hardin, Clerk and Registrar of the Navy Department from the administration of Andrew Jackson to the time of his death in 1858. Major Hardin was reared to the age of sixteen in Washington. D. C. and in 1854 entered the Virginia Military Institute, from which he was graduated in 1858. Imme- diately after his graduation he was appointed an assistant professor in this insti- tution and in 1860 was appointed adjunct professor, in which capacity he continued to act until the beginning of the war. During his connection with this institution in the ante-bellum days he was intimately associated with General Stonewall Jackson, both as his student and as his co-professor. A warm friendship sprung up between the two ; and this relation continued until the death of that gallant chieftain in 1863. In the beginning of the war Mr. Hardin was offered a position on General Jackson ' s staff ; but this he declined, preferring the line. Accordingly he joined the Thirty-third Virginia Regiment as acting Major, and fought with his command in Jackson ' s brigade in the First Battle of Manassas. In October, 1861, he was appointed Major of Artillery, in the active volunteer forces of Vir- ginia, and assigned to duty at Craney Island, where he remained until the evacu- ation of Norfolk, on May in. 1 s ( ; • . While on this island he was an eye-witness of all the stirring scenes enacted in that vicinity, and among other historic happen- ings the destruction of the Cumberland and the Congress, and the fight between the Merrimac and the Monitor. In June. 1862, he was appointed Major of Ar- tillery in the Provisional Army of the Confederate States, and assigned to duty as Commander of the 18th Virginia Battalion of Heavy Artillery, in the defences of Richmond. He continued in this capacity, being in charge of a considerable portion of the line, until the evacuation of Richmond. While in this service, in the fall of 1804, he was sent to Fort Harrison to take command of troops at Chafhn ' s Farm in the place of Major Dick Taylor, who had been captured. While here he was wounded in the left arm. He had received one wound prior to this in the Kilpatrick raid. When the evacuation of Richmond became a cer- tainty, his battalion was placed in Cruchfield ' s brigade. Custis Lee ' s division, for the retreat. In an effort to reach Gen. Robert E. Lee ' s army they were over- taken bv the enemy at Sailor ' s Creek, where a desperate battle ensued, in which General Cruchfield was killed and his entire brigade captured. Major Hardin was taken a prisoner to Old Capitol Prison, Washington. On the evening of his arrival there President Lincoln was assassinated, and this created such intense feeling that, for safety, he, together with the other Confederate officers, was taken to Johnson ' s Island, Lake Erie, where he was held a prisoner of war until July 3, 18(55. For two years after the close of the war he was an analytical chemist in New York City. In 1867 he returned to the Virginia Military Institute as full Professor of Chemistry, which position he held until 1890. In October of that year he was appointed Professor of Chemistry in Clemson College, S. C, which position he still holds. He is also Chief Chemist of the South Carolina Agricultural Experiment Station, located at the college. He was elected a member of the American Chemical Society upon its organi- zation, in 1876, and has continued a member ever since. In 1886 he was elected a member of the Lyceum of Natural History of New York (which is now the New York Academy of Sciences), and became a corresponding member of the same society in July, 1897. He was married August 26, 1869, to Miss Mary M. Payne, of Warrenton, Va., who has since died, leaving eight children, four boys and four girls, to his care. 3 os£r£ Vt£T v ■ f ivirru iTW U. r ov 0S PREFACE In presenting this volume to the public, to the Faculty, to the students, and to the Alumni, we wish to say that it has been our earnest endeavor to portray college life as a student sees it. We have tried to make it pleasing to all, and if we have failed in this attempt it has been due either to our lack of ability or to our want of experience. We wish to say to the public that while this book was compiled chiefly for the amusement and interest of college students, vet we hope that you will glean something from its pages that will be of interest to you. To the Faculty we desire to state that, though some of our jokes may appear harsh, no disrespect to you was intended. We have no desire to offend, and hope that all jokes at your expense will be taken in the spirit in which they were given. To the students we desire to say that we have attempted to make this a picture of college life. Tf any one is not pleased with the picture we have painted of him, we ask that he choose other artists ; for we have clone our best, and have no apologies to offer. While some of the things contained in this volume may not be appreciated by our fellow-students at present, we feel that in the future, as they slowly turn its pages, it will bring back to them many pleasant recollections of their college days. For the Alumni, we have endeavored to fashion a picture that will stimulate that love, devotion and loyalty to the dear old college from which you were graduated. To our subscribers and supporters we wish to extend our sincere thanks and appreciation ; for had it not been for your aid this book would not have assumed its present form. 11 The Seniors Another year Has gone away. Sweet summer comes again. Once more ' tis here. Commencement day. All join the glad refrain: Out in the midst of the fight, boys, Ever be valiant and strong; Suffer and die for the right, boys, Arbitrate never with wrong. ' Tis not the same As those we ' ve passed, ' Tis ours. — we ' re going away. No roll of drum Or bugle bla t. Shall stir the folded gray. Loving and lowal and true, boys, Faithful to country and hkk. Some one is waiting for you. boys. An armful of comfort and cheer. Good-bye. God speed You, is our cry. — And. lo ! the deed is done ; The day is spent. The fountain dry. The battle fought — and won! Sadly we speak the farewell, boys. Sorrow hath need of its own. Only the future can tell, boys. How we can battle alone. ' 04. 12 Board of Trustees Hon. R. W. Simpson, President Hon. B. R.

If history is such a collection of material as would make a complete story if narrated, then a class cannot have a history until all the material is ready. We do not propose going out of business. The Class of ' 04 is here to stay, and for that reason we shall not call this brief sketch a history. This has been a long, tiresome journey, has it not. boys? This is to you. who enlisted in ' 99. It is so discouraging standing at the foot of a ladder gazing at some coveted height. The sunshine and smiling warmth up there almost mad- den us. who hover under the shadows of dejection below. Of those days we speak hurriedly : of those trials and hardships we wish to leave no legacy to futurity. That father or mother who lias been our stay all these many years would feel deeply grieved were we to give our petty sorrows first place in this sketch. The year sped on. and summer came — how short it seems now. With it came the end of Prep. No one knows the joys that flooded our hearts when we laid aside the dog-eared Geographies and Physiologies. All the summer long we dreamed of the stores of knowledge Fresh had hidden for our benefit. We would be carvers of wood and pounders of iron, while our pens would put to shame the best efforts of Gibson or Christie! Vanity, Vanity, surely thou art a fickle goddess. The last year of the dear old nineteenth century brought us a goodly number of recruits. The firing line was wofully weak, but the timely arrival of the sup- ports was a signal for a grand charge, and away we went into Fresh ! Through wintry winds, spring showers, and summer sunshine, we trudged to the music of Reveille and Taps. When the finals were over we were no longer Freshmen. Every student who has experienced the pleasure (?) of beginning the Sopho- more ' s work at Clemson knows how to sympathize with novices. Reinforced by a few ' Soph rats — the reserve — we again assailed that staid, stately stronghold of chemistry, mathematics, and English. Victory loomed up invitingly hefore us : but something else loomed up. too. How many of our class will ever forget that memorable day. April 20. 1902? Of that brief, bitter struggle between love of class and love of college no one can ever full} ' know who has not been similarly placed. But a kind fate was leading us. and we trod this Gethsemane in safety, if in sorrow. If you are disposed to view our proceedings critically, think of Brutus ' words : Not that I loved Ca?sar less, but that I loved Rome more. The 26 lowering clouds rolled away, and over the face of the deep brooded a twilight calm. So sank the Sophomore sun to rise on a misty Junior morn. With Junior came many changes to Clemson. A new President held the reins of government ; a new Commandant had charge of the War Department ' s interests. Under the guidance and leadership of these two men, college affairs moved off smoothly. Then began the tussle with Analytics and Calculus — but why mention these things? They should be excluded from every story, the aim of which is to please. With a few words we lay Junior aside, and, behold ! there you are — a Senior at last ! The beginning of Senior year is the turning point of a college man ' s life. Heretofore realization was submerged in anticipation, and hope for things looked for overbalanced a knowledge of things passed. It was a provident act — that of constituting man with an element of blind faith in the future. All through the years of the lower classes we looked forward to that time when we would emerge into the sunshine of Senior clays — near the top of the ladder. But, now that we are there, the alluring smile has vanished, the roseate clouds have melted into nothingness. No longer led to look forward to freer, happier college days, we glance down the tortuous, backward track. There, stretched out in long array, are our trials, with their tears and Their triumphs ; our mistakes — some of ignorance, some, we fear, of self-confidence. And we trust a few acts — a few deeds — worthy of commendable criticism, will be unearthed by future archaeologists and credited to us. Whatever we have undertaken, good or bad, has been the subject of our combined efforts — a fact that should excuse many faults. A spirit of thorough- ness has permeated the whole corps. Out of it has grown the present high standard of military discipline at Clemson. The one thing that had long been wanting here, was not a wise or skillful officer in charge — we have had that for years. It was a proper spirit, a just conception of duty by the corps — the Senior Class principally — that was needed. To that end the corps has gradually been drifting. It had to be done gradually, for sentiment, yes, even public opinion, had to be revolutionized, and that took time, and. besides, it took courage, even fearlessness, to accomplish it. What our class has had to do with the present status of the corps, we leave others to say. To the following classes we leave our heritage, be it great or small ; for our- selves we reserve the glory or the stigma, let it be what it may. 27 William John Austin ( ' .- speak not; for silence has a language more divine.

His nick-name, Tiny, ' ' is an appropriate one, he being 5 feet 5 inches in height and weighing 134 pounds; he has light hair and gray eyes. Since he landed, in September, 1900, he has been a warm advocate of all branches of athletics, having been a sub. on the baseball teams of ' 02 and ' 03, and Captain of the Tennis Club.

The staid old earth takes on new life, Spring sunshine falls around ; The woods grow green and violets rife, Blot out the sober brown. The sky has packed away its gray And melancholy hue. And while the earth regales in green, It turns a deeper blue ; Ah, then, we feel such pent-up joy, That, like the birds, we sing, And in our own bright Southern homes We welcome back the spring.

The gradu- ating class was a large one. and each member walked with an elastic step to the chapel, where he was to receive his diploma. They had fought, finished their fight, and now they must go. in order to make room for others in the State ' s train- ing school. The guardian angel of the class looked down upon each man with a smile of satisfaction, then, bowing to Father Time, the keeper of the garden, turned out the noble band of young men. each with the flush of youth upon his brow — turned them out to fight the battles of life and to win glory and honor among the people of the State. By the going out of this class there was made a vacant lot in the garden — a place to be filled by the time the leaves begin to fall and the cool autumn winds begin to blow. Father Time, looking about him. saw this, and then he blew a sharp note upon his trumpet, and all was quiet. The halls of the college building were closed, and the barracks looked like great castles. dark and haunted, with not a soul within. All was left to the midnight balls of the ghosts and goblins. Again Father Time lifted his trumpet to his lips and blew a sweet note that rang out far and wide, and was heard from the mountains to the sea. At this signal there floated out of the tall college tower a beautiful fairy- like form, with a glittering star in her hair and a silver trumpet in her hand. She alighted, gently and gracefully, upon the highest pinnacle of the steeple, lifted the trumpet to her lips, unfurled a pennant from a scroll, bound it with ribbons of old gold and purple to the coils of the trumpet, and allowed it to float gently in the summer breeze. On this banner, in letters of garnet and white, were written THE CLASS OF 1905. She lifted up her eyes and looked towards the east : she lifted up her eyes and looked towards the west : she lifted up her eyes and looked towards the north ; she lifted up her eyes and looked towards the south, and prophesied, saying: I am monarch of all I survey. My right there is none to dispute : In this garden I ' ll plant some seed. That more fruit they may bear. Then off across the State she darted like an arrow, and as she went she blew upon the trumpet : and when she stopped — a great crowd of people would gather to hear what she had to say. She then told them of the garden. Yes. a human garden, in which little plants grew to be l?.-_ ng ones, and some even grew to be giants among the people. The place where boys grew to be men : yes. 54 men, who, after being allowed to stay in this garden the required length of time, were read}- to take on the armor of life, whereby they could be more able to better themselves and to lift to a higher level the common people of their country. Some listened to what she said with great interest, others shook their heads and went their way. Then, from place to place, the little fairy-like form would go, calling out as she sped on, Come, for now is the time for planting in the State ' s training field. She finished her work of canvassing, darted swiftly back to her hiding place in the college steeple, and waited for the arrival of the seed. Then they came, from the country, from every by-path and every road, from the city, from every alley and street, and were duly planted, marking an important epoch in the history of their lives. Before long there came a period where some had to be taken from the garden, as they were too weak to stand the hot sunshine, and as like periods passed and the number grew smaller and smaller, the guardian, from her place in the tower, looked down with a pitying heart, and often a tear trickled down her cheek, as she was heard to say, Alas ! what shall the harvest be ; yes, what shall it be. She is still watching over this class, guarding it, though its number is growing smaller and smaller as the days go by. She is still hoping that when June comes, in the year nineteen hundred and five, she can turn out a band of young men that will make this age a better one by their having lived in it. Fight on, boys, fight on ; there will come a time some day, we hope, when we shall have finished, and our guardian shall turn us out to bring honor or shame upon the class, then we can say : When out into this wide world we go, With its great works by men contrived. Then we ' ll look back to the days at Clcuison And to the Class of nineteen five. SpEER, ' 05. 55 — EruecrRicffi- Motto: Never despair, but if you do, work an in despair. Officers L. R. Hovt.

And of these an hundred and seventy and four were pilgrims in a strange land. They had come from all parts of the country, which is known as Carolina, seeking the hidden treasures of know- ledge. These pilgrims found other tribes dwelling in the land which they came to possess, who were hostile to them. At first they were sore afraid, and some wished to return to their own country ; but they heeded unto the council of the wise, and joined themselves together in a body that they might the more easily withstand the oppressions of their enemies. Finally, after great contention and strife for the space of about three months, they were able to dwell peaceably with their neighbors. Then there was peace in the land, and the people waxed exceed- ing strong and powerful under the leadership of two mighty men of valor. But these seekers after knowledge were beset by other foes. There dwelt, also, in the land a nation of giants, great and terrible. These bound oppressive burdens upon the weak — burdens grievous and heavy to be borne. Twice each year they required all the sojourners in the land to go down into the depths of a great pit, and dig up a large pile of heavy stones. Each man of them was com- pelled to put as many stones as he could bear into a sack placed on his back, and, thus burdened, to climb, unaided, out of the pit. No one was allowed to leave the pit who had fewer than sixty large stones in his sack. Some have perished in this pit, because they were not able to bear up under the heavy burden placed on them. But many are they who have brought glory and honor to themselves by struggling up to the top with their sacks well filled. Now, these pilgrims of nineteen six showed themselves to be cunning in all the arts of the baseball and the football. There were among them four men who played well and hardily with the football, and who did mighty things on the grid- iron. One man had they who showed great skill with the baseball, and many shrewd players did he vanquish on the diamond by his skillful pitching of the ball. Also, there were among their number those who did cover themselves with honor and reflect credit upon their tribe by their prowess on Field ' s Day. Two there were who were fleet of foot and who did run with exceeding great swiftness the race that was set before them. Then, in the race for the greatest eater, one of the members of this tribe, who is short of stature, but who is possessed of a large abdominal capacity, did greatly distinguish himself. In the strife with the higher tribes on the field of 59 sports they proved themselves to be the strongest, and in every way showed that they were worthy of the honors which they won. Some of their number are eloquent and fluent of speech, and have won medals by their oratory. In battles of the tongue and of the pen their wit and valor have been crowned with success, and peradventure as they increase in stature and in wisdom they will make a future more glorious even than their past. Finally, in June, in the ninth month of the reign of Jeremiah, these pilgrims, having faithfully performed the duties which fell to their lot. returned to their homes to rest themselves for a season. Then, after the space of three months, about the time of the harvest, they went once more to their labors in the land of the Clemsonians. where they were joined by five new members, who had decided to cast their lot with this tribe. They also received eight men from the tribe above them. At the beginning of this year new leaders were chosen, who have ably fol- lowed the footsteps of their pr edecessors. In peace and hope do the members of this tribe now dwell in the land of their adoption, striving with all their might to reach the goal of freedom, which is about a two years ' journey, ever keeping in mind the motto : Xci ' cr despair; but if you do. work on in despair. 60 F.

All of the monks, with the exception of the Abbot, had retired for the night, and were lost in a sweet, refreshing sleep. The Abbot could not rest. Above the moaning rJf the autumnal wind, as it whistled around the building, came the occasional howl of a wolf. Prolonged, mournful, penetrating as it was. it seemed a foreteller of some event. The monastery stands in a narrow valley, surrounded by a dense wood, through which can be heard the faint gurgle of the Seneca. The Abbot, cumbered with many cares, sat. with his grey head resting be- tween his hands, thinking of the many precious lives that were in his charge. Hearing a knock at the outer gate, he crossed himself nervously, for he re- membered the long howl of the wolf. Taking a small candle in his hand, he walked across the yard to the outer gate, where, on opening its massive iron doors, he was greeted by a company of young men. Their leader, a bright-faced youth, addressed the Abbot in behalf of himself and his companions. He briefly told the Abbot how he and companions had started out on life ' s journey with the de- termination of securing from the world their share of her treasures, but, after experiencing the heartless deception of their ambition, and feeling their inability to cope with the problems of life, they had come to seek an entrance into the Clemsonian Monastery, so, that in its quiet seclusion, they might pursue the path of knowledge under the guidance of the Abbot and the elder monks, and go 6 rth from its walls better prepared to meet the responsibilities of life. The Abbot bade them enter, and thus addressed them : You must lay aside worldly garments and wear the grey gown and hood of the lay brothers. Each man is expected to be a gentleman. Shall you. as young men. spend your vitality in dreaming of the things that may never be ? There is no greatness without work. God has given each of you a pattern of life : that pattern is a noble and a perfect one. In the structure of life let there be no weak places. Fit each block in the proper place : bring together the material : seize on the opportunities of now. The present is all you have, the past has gone, and the future has yet to come. Thus came Brother Furtick ' and his companions of goodly, younger brothers to the Clemsonian Monastery. Our little band were encouraged by a goodly number of recruits in the last term. With them we have mastered one mystery after another, till now we are calmly treading in the flowery paths of knowledge. which wind upward to the hallowed realm of Sophdom. 66 A. B. Means A. L.

Where the buried years are folded away With the ages yet unborn ; Sitting alone in the twilight gray. Sad and forlorn. Sitting alone in the old arm-chair. Watching the curling smoke Gracefully coiling around ' n the air Away from my pipe it broke, And to a fanciful thought gave chase, Amused. I watched the flight, When, In ' the smoke dissolved in space. Fancies filled the night ; Around the room above my head Pictures floated down ; What a feast for a soul unfed, — Memory ' s own ! Opened wide was the Book of Life, All its pages bare ; Every scene of love or strife. Joy or care, Came to me on silent wings From the days long gone ; Faces ' round which memory clings, Moving on ; Still the vast procession moved Through the shadows deep, While I lost the scene I loved. Fast asleep ! Sleeping alone in the old arm-chair. Dreaming of youth again ; Bathing again in the balmy air — Aerial main ! Culling the sweets of happier days Bourne on a dream so near; Lighting the soul with tenderest ray . Mellow and clear ; Stars shine serenely down on the night, Soul-whispering low on the air, Rest comes sweet in your lap of delight, Old arm-chair. jf ?oz.y coswF ? Facultisms ' Twas an august assemblage, that — a coming together of some might}-, mighty intellects ; and these same mighty intellects were shining right radiantly through a score or so of widely varying countenances — some dark and swarthy ; some fair as lilies ; some fat. some lean ; some bearded, some as cleanly shaven as a new born babe ' s : some bleached with many years, and others blooming with over much youth; some homely, some homelier — all radiant and happy with the joy of living easy. A meeting — oh, yes, a meeting of the Science Club in the Electrical Labora- tory, and all are cordially invited to attend. ' And we are to have some highly entertaining lectures, too; a paper on the successful propagation of Bermuda grass by proper mulching and under draining, and an interesting talk on the vital com- mercial importance of H 2 SC) 4 and its preparation by the Lea J en Chamber Process (this lecture is to be illustrated by lantern slides), and then, from a more strictly scientific standpoint, the audience is to be treated to a beautiful graphic demon- stration of the signs of our times, as shown by a curve plotted between General Electric Co. and Football. The audience are still gathering, and. as is usually the case at such times, a great buzz of animated conversation is filling the little lecture room. Here and there the little groups are standing about, talking, talking. Over in one cor- ner a dapper little fellow in a pretty, brindle uniform, is entertaining a knot of listeners with some highly miraculous adventures that happened to him over in ' the Philippines ; of how he and one other American had easily defeated thirty of the heathen bolo wielders, and of how, on another occasion, he had lost two zehole troops of cavalry in a rice field, and had not been able to find them for two days and nights. O, his tales were most marvelous, some of them — most marvelous ; and it was. indeed, hard to realize that they were, really, truly, stories and not just nice little fairy tales ; and when the story-teller had finished, the listeners stood dumb, looking from one to the other, and poking their tongues in their cheeks, and thinking with a sickly, incredulous smile of the days of their childish inno- cence and ignorance, when their little boyish minds had been satisfied with tame, common-place old [Munchausen. The silence following these narrations began to grow oppressive. The standard of story-telling had suddenly been raised to such a height, that to have followed suit just then would have been sheer nonsense. So no one tried an- other storv. Nevertheless, the silence was broken. From the little group of listeners a calm, dignified figure rose and spoke. Hell, gentlemen, said the new speaker, in a calm, evenly modulated voice, 82 tell you in all seriousness, but at the same time in all kindness, that sounds very much like a lie to me! A silence, like the stillness that in nature preludes the bursting- of the storm, followed this bold assertion. The two main figures in the little group stood glar- ing sullenly at each other. What would happen? Everybody waited with bated breath. The moments pass — one — two — three — four. Then something did happen. The storm broke with fury. Look here, sir, came a deep guttural voice, and a small black figure, rolling up sleeves as he came, pushed briskly up to the bold speaker, look here — you one and a half by three and a half, sawed off, hammered down, twenty-two caliber, short — you have insulted my friend, and my Irish blood fairly boils. An empty wagon — pandemonium and hub-bub! Hither and thither, in and out. those dig- nified sires were pushing and shoving, and talking, all at once. Only one little fellow, with a vast extent of white collar about his neck and a little blow-pipe stuck in his left breast pocket, was hovering around with the alacrity of a jumping- jack, industriously beating on a little bell that sat on one side of the table, and squeaking out at the top of his voice. Now, gentlemen, gentlemen, please give me your undivided attention . ' But his call was drowned in the clamor of the crowd. A few, however, even while the tumult was at its height, kept their heads admirably well, and, in fact, seemed to manifest very little interest in the outcome of the brawl. ( )ne big, muscular fellow, in particular, was standing against a radiator, very serenely stroking his chin. Hell, he was heard to comment, hit don ' t make no material difference to me, no how, what way the thing comes out! This manifestation of utter indifference on the part of those present was the exception, however, and by no means the rule. As a general thing the wildest excitement reigned. Everybody seemed bus} ' devising and offering schemes for allaying the trouble. Some few were forcibly holding the would-be combatants apart, trying, by every kind of argument and cajolery, to dissuade them from so exceedingly silly a pastime. But the enraged parties seemed bent on battle, one declaring vehemently that a peaceable settlement was out of the question, since a great economic principle was involved in the matter, and the other stoutly swearing that he would soon differentiate his pace into infinitesimal increment. Other members of the highly excited throng were pressing here and there with suggestions and suggestions. t length one of the sins succeeded in partially quelling the tumult for an instant, while he spoke a tew excited words: Gentlemen, he called out. gentlemen, I think I have an original itla thai will stop all this — Damn your original idea, yelled out a forward looking youngster with incipient mustache. He was striding defiantly forward, suggestively removing 83 coat and celluloid collar, and for a moment it seemed that another outbreak was imminent. The young fellow was evidently bent on a row. When I was at college here I whipped every man that would fight me, and, furthermore, I ' ll put you out of the house if you fool with me, he called out in a voice that was evidently meant to be heard. The hub-bub increased. The room was rapidly becoming an undesirable place for peace-abiding men, and seve- ral were judiciously edging away toward the door. At length one sire, probably remembering the old saying about running away and living to fight another day, slipped with unseeming haste through a door and was swallowed up by the outer darkness. A voice that was growing fainter with every word called feebly back : Blamed if I hadn ' t rather subscribe five dollars to athletics than to get mixed up in that affair. A slim, sandy-haired chap, standing in the outer edge of the circle, looked around and grinned. Sec the point he queried, giving his neighbor a vicious little nudge in the ribs. I hit meantime the trouble had not been settled. Four antagonists were eye- ing each other viciously, all eager for battle, and things were growing serious. How was all this trouble to be settled ? The answer came from an unlooked for source. A the very rising of it an awe fell upon the seething crowd, the first word fell from the lips of the speaker the effect was unmistakable — gen- tlemen, I ' ll tell you right tunc, this thing has got to stop! It must stop if I hair to dismiss the last man of you from the Faculty. The speaker came down on a table with his fist in a most conclusive manner — and the THING stopped! A general reconciliation was finally brought about, all shook hands and were soon good friends again. One real good new joke, very tactfully brought in just then, by a man whose seniority is never doubted, set the whole audience into a fit of laughter, and soon all were as merry as ever. figure rose up, and at Gentlemen — and as 84 [Nilitarif ® ® yJlfportTnint - COMMISSIONED OFFICER Regimental Organization Commandant of Cadets Edgar A.

We were together — Dorothy and I. We sat there on a flat, mossy rock, at the top of a high, high mountain, beetling dizzily above a green valley as mildly beautiful as any myth- land. It seemed, almost, that we were poised, swaying in mid air, between heaven and earth. When and how we came there. I did not know, nor did I care to question: we were there, and that was enough. Dame Nature was masquerading in many garbs. At our feet, the precipice towering grandly over the treetops far below ; near my hand a little daisy swayed on its slender stem when touched with a breath of the soft evening air ; and not far away a modest little wren bobbed and ducked and twittered right merrily. One of Dorothy ' s white hands lay confidingly in mine, and her brown head rested on my shoulder. She was speaking slowly, dreamily, and her voice rivalled that of the tiny musician in the chestnut bush. I was quite happy. We ceased speaking, and sat gazing out over the league on league of undu- lating forest and field spread out at our feet. Finally I looked up. ' Dorothy, I murmured low, ' do you know, Dorothy, I have just been think- ing that, with your little hand in mine and your head — just where it is now — I would gladly spring over that cliff, even if there were no valley below, and fall down, and down, and down, through endless space — and go on falling throughout eternity, and consider that a fair exchange for heaven. She smiled sweetly. And I, she whispered, and I, too. We were again silent. Our feelings were not to be expressed in words. Our happiness was 106 complete ; indeed, too complete to last. The interruption came all too soon. The semi- holy stillness was broken by a low, hissing rattle. It came from just behind us. We well understood the ominous warning. Dorothy turned quickly around. So did I. The thing that we saw paralyzed us both with fright. There, within arm ' s reach of us. lav an enormous rattler — the largest snake that I had ever seen. He was coiled and ready to strike. The sharp, forked tongue glanced incessantly back and forth. The greenish eyes shone with a de- moniacal gleam. For an instant we were powerless with fear. Dorothy first moved. With a wild scream she bounded toward the edge of the precipice. She landed on the verv verge. A sickening sensation ran through and through me, as, seeing her peril, I sprang forward to save her from the awful death that threatened. Mv arm encircled her slender waist : but too late. She had already lost her bal- ance and was leaning far out from the rock. Throwing my whole weight away from her, I pulled as I had never pulled before. My efforts were in vain. We counter-balanced each other, and soon I saw that I was giving away before her dead weight. Hope left me. for I. too, stood only half-footed on the edge. Slowly we began falling. For one brief moment I glanced below me at the waving treetops, a thousand feet away. The sight chilled me, and I made one last desperate struggle for life. With that instinct which causes a drowning man to grasp at straws, I began reaching for something — what I knew not — to stay our fall. I fanned the air wildly with my free arm. and. all unexpectedly, my hand touched something. It was the slender twig of a chestnut bush that grew on the very brink of the cliff. 1 clinched it madly, but it snapped like a straw. Then — I saw the blue sky reel and float above us. It grew inky dark. My eyes swam in my head. The earth and skv and trees and rocks whirled confusedly together. In my ears was the sound of rushing air. I grew deathly sick. There was a terrific, deadening shock, and a dull pain in my thigh. I seemed suddenly to grow stiff and cold ; but, through it all. one arm still clasped that form dearer to me than life. I turned weakly and looked at Dorothy. Crushed and mangled beyond recognition — a shapeless, bleeding thing in my arms ! I turned away. I was sinking fast. There was no certain pain anywhere now. but only too well could I feel the cold numbness of death creeping over me. Suddenly I made one powerful effort and recovered a remnant of my fading strength. Dreamilv I raised myself on one elbow and stared around me in the hazy gloom. How strange even tiling was becoming! How strange the trees and rocks ! And Dorothy, how she had changed ! The once faultless figure now seemed no more than a shapeless white thing at my side. I was as one in a terri- ble trance. Slowly I rose to my feet, only to meet another startling surprise. At my feet, instead of the grass and rocks and earth, was what seemed to be a chaotic, tangled disarray of great white and brown cloths. There was a mighty 107 clatter and scuffle somewhere near me, and from afar came sounds of fiendishly discordant laughter. I rubbed my eyes and stared foolishly at Dorothy ; and then I grinned sheepishly. I was beginning to understand. I stooped and raised my Dorothy from the ground. Poor, dear, feather-stuffed Dorothy! My faithful old pillow ! How that downy little waist must have suffered from my rough grasp. I realized the true state of affairs, and I could hardly decide whether to laugh or give other vent to my overtaxed feelings. The merriment without grew louder, and, as I began to get the bed on its legs and the sheets above the mat- tress, I stopped just long enough to wail out at my tormentors: I reckon you think it ' s mighty confoundedly funnv. but I don ' t.

About this time some members of the Faculty, who had been interested in college ath- letics at other places, and a few of the cadets, began to ask the question. ' hy should Clemson not have a football team ? ' Football at Clemson had its incep- tion at a meeting held in one of the rooms of the barracks by a number of cadets in the early fall of ' 96. The organization known as the Clemson College Foot- ball Association was effected, and the following officers were elected : President. F. G. Tompkins ; Secretary and Treasurer. C. W. Gentry ; Manager, L. R. Vogel ; Temporary Captain, R. G. Hamilton. Prof. Riggs, who had played on the Au- burn team, very kindly offered his assistance as coach. Up to this time a foot- ball had never been seen on the college campus : we did not have a gridiron, but practice was held on the small green in front of barracks. The cadets took great interest in the new game, and went into it with a determination to put out a win- ning team, notwithstanding their many difficulties. On October 28th our team met that of Furman University, in Greenville. This was the first time our team had ever seen a real gridiron — the first time it had ever felt the thrilling excitement of a battle ; nevertheless, we defeated this experienced team by a score of H to 6. This gave a great impetus to the game, and showed the boys that Clemson could and would make a creditable showing in the football world. Our next game was played with the S. C. College boys, in Columbia, during the Annual State Fair, the score being 12 to 6 in favor of Carolina. The third and last game of this first football season was played with Woftord College. Our team was practically the same as had played Furman and S. C. College, but showed a marked improvement in its team work ; to this fact is due our great victory of 16 to -1. The season of ' 97 opened with gloomy prospects. Many of the best players had failed to return to college, and no one knew what to expect. Nevertheless, the boys began practice with a firm determination to win. They were much encouraged by the presence of Y. M. Williams, the first Coach that Clemson had been able to employ. This year four games were played, three of them outside the State. The first game was with the University of Georgia, in Athens, on the 9th of October. At the end of a hard fought game the score stood, Georgia 24, Clemson 0. The next game was against the Charlotte Y. M. C. A. team, in Charlotte. X. C. where our team stopped while on its way to meet the University of X. C. Clemson ' s team work was evident throughout the game, and, although her opponents were heavier and stronger men, she won the game by a score of 10 to 0. This was on Saturday, and on the following Monday we played the 120 University of N. C. This was a very strong team, one of the best in North Caro- lina ' s history. Clemson was defeated by a score of 28 to 0. The next game was with S. C. College, at the fair, where we won the State championship by a score of 20 to (i. This ended Clemson ' s second football season. Clemson ' s team of ' 98 was coached by J. A. Penton, of Alabama, who was Captain and guard of the University of Virginia teams of ' 93, ' 94 and ' 95. Dur- ing this year we played four games and lost only one. The first game was with the University of Georgia, at Athens, and Georgia won by a score of 20 to 8. The next game was with the Bingham School, on our own campus, which resulted in an easy victory for Clemson. The game about which so much interest always centers, that with S. C. at the fair, was played on November 17th. Again we suc- ceeded in overcoming our great rivals. The score, 24 to 0, tells the tale. The closing game of the season was played in Augusta, on Thanksgiving Day, with Georgia Tech. Clemson anticipated a close and hotly contested game, but such was not the case. After five minutes had elapsed the game was pronounced a victory for Clemson. Both teams did excellent work. Perhaps the most brilliant feature of the game was the miraculous stand made by Clemson, when she held the Techs, for three downs with the ball within six inches of her goal line. At the opening of the season of ' 99 the finances of the Football Association were in a very weak state ; therefore, we were unable to employ a Coach. At this crisis Prof. Riggs again came to the aid of the team, and consented to Coach it. Then followed one of our best seasons. We won from Davidson at Rock Hill, from S. C. College at the fair, from A. M. of N. C. at Rock Hill, and from Georgia Techs, at Greenville, and suffered defeat at the hands of the University of Georgia at Athens, and from Alabama Polytech ' s veteran team at Auburn. It was at the beginning of the season of 1900 that the services of Mr. J. W. Heisman were secured as Coach. Mr. Heisman graduated in the Law Depart- ment of the University of Pennsylvania in ' 93, where he played under the cele- brated Coach Woodruff. He coached the Auburn teams of ' 95, ' 96, ' 97 and ' 98. Under this experienced man football received an impetus that soon placed us on a par with the best teams of the South. The six games played this season were all victories for Clemson. In rapid succession Davidson, Wofford, S. C. C, Ga. V. P. I. and Alabama suffered overwhelming defeats at the hands of Heis- man ' s Tigers. The season of 1901 opened with a tie between Clemson and the University of Tennessee. The next game resulted in a score of 122 to 0, against Guilford, one of the largest scores ever made in 30 minutes of play. Clemson defeated the strong teams of both the University of Georgia and the University of North Caro- lina, and was defeated by V. P. I., with a score of 17 to 13. Of the seven games played in ' 02, Clemson lost only one. The annual game at the fair was, by some freak of fortune, lost to S. C, with a score of 12 to 6. We had anticipated an easy victory and, in fact, the team had been coached up 121 to a day or two before the game for one of our succeeding games, the result of which was considered far more doubtful. The season of ' 03 was undoubtedly one of the most successful in Clemson ' s history. We had claimed recognition as one of the most prominent competitors for the championship of the S. I. A. A., and this year it was proved conclusively that our claim was well founded, and that to become the champion any college team would first have to battle with the mighty Tigers. Of the five games played with teams in the S. I. A. A. not one was lost, and only one team, that of Cumberland, succeeded in tieing the score. The first game of the year, with Georgia Tech., resulted in a score of 73 to • . The University of Georgia and the A. M. of X. C. were then defeated in fine style. We will pass over the game with the University of North Carolina, not that we would try to detract attention from our defeats, for no body of students is ever more ready to give credit for an honest victory than we. but such a game — well, every one knows the score. 11 to ( . and the circumstances of the game! Davidson proved to be ' easy. and on Thanksgiving Day we met the boys from Cumberland. As the score shows, the two teams were evenly matched — the speed and tricks of Clemson with the mighty machine-like muscle of Cumberland. Such has been our record, from a mere beginning in ' 96 to one of the foot- ball powers in ' 03, a rapid but steady rise. May the Purple and Orange ever go forward at this rate and. in 1901, wave over the Southern gridiron, the undis- puted champion. Football Team. ' .mi. Blain, J. M.. L. K. : White. J. D.. L.

Baseball History At the opening of last year ' s season, prospects for a winning team were any- thing but encouraging. With only four of the YMYl men back, it was evident to the most casual observer that, if Clemson was to have a successful team, it must be composed largely of new material. Aspirants for the Varsity were plentiful, however, and, when practice commenced on the first of March, the Bowman Field was covered with players. In a short time, under the careful training of Coach Heisman, whose practiced eye soon picked out the most promising of the candi- dates, one of the best teams in the history of Clemson was gotten into shape. The season was opened by the defeat of Davidson on our own campus. A week later Clemson made her triumphant tour through Georgia and Alabama, during which four of the strongest Southern teams were compelled to acknowledge her superiority. The defeat by Erskine was no indication of the strength of the two teams, for, worn out by the hardships of their recent Southern trip, our men were in poor condition to meet their adversaries ; that it was a fierce contest, however, is well shown by the score. The two games following, one with Wake Forest, on the campus, and the other with Wofford, at Spartanburg, were easy victories for the Heismanites. The season was closed by the play at Newberry, where both teams were evenly matched in weight and strength, but, by their thorough training and knowledge of the game, our men again showed their superiority. Notwithstanding the changes that have occurred since last year, the outlook for another successful year is decidedly encouraging. With five of last year ' s men back, hard at work practicing with the substitutes and a score of determined candidates, under the able instruction of the new Manager and his assistants, it 129 will be hard if Clemson does not put forth a better team than any she has had before.

Dr. Redfearn — Well, put this thermometer in your mouth, and keep it there for a few minutes while I attend to these other boys.

Wyse This Club — this small band of friends and chums, true and tried — which has been the source of some of the most truly happy days in all our checkered Col- lege life, was organized early in our Junior year, primarily for purposes epicurean. Since then many changes have taken place ; old friends have left us and new ones have joined with us. Soon we shall part. We may never see each other again — many of us ; but come what may, the friendship — the strong fraternal tie that has so long bound us one to another, cannot, must not, break — S. de C. forever! Rules Governing Preamble: In order to build up and maintain a more intimate and brotherly relationship ; to meet the demands of the needy ; to satisfy the cravings of the appe- tite, and to mutually help each other in every possible way, we do hereby draw up and adopt the following commandments : 1 . The name shall be the Salons de Cercle. 2. The rules shall be of two classes : first, those relating to the satisfaction of our appetities ; second, those governing the bonds of our friendship. Rules (a) Every article of food, of any kind or description whatsoever, coming into the possession of any member, either bought or stolen by him, or given to him, becomes at once the common possession of the club, and must be equally and fairly divided among such said members as can be found at the time. (b) Boxes from Home are the property of the S. de C, and not of the immediate receiver. No box shall be opened until all members are officially noti- fied of its arrival. (c) Out of every such box, every member present shall have his proportionate share of each and every article contained therein. 151 (d) The whereabouts of all articles of clothing within the club shall be at all times known to each and every member, and each and every said member shall have free access to them at all times. To be borrowed from is considered a com- pliment, and all members shall strive to excel in this feature. (e) It is positively forbidden to return any article that has been borrowed. (f) Upon leaving College a club letter shall be started: that is, the member first on the roll — alphabetically — shall write to the member second on the roll, the member second, to the member third, and so on, no member waiting more than one week to forward the letter. Any member failing to write, thereby breaking the chain, shall be dealt with to the full extent of the law as contained in Article 21, Section 4. Treces Doce. (g) Upon graduation each member shall deposit with the president the sum of five dollars, to be expended in purchasing an appropriate present for the mem- ber first to be married. (10 The home of each member of the club shall be open at all times to all other members, and invitations to visit shall not be considered necessary. (i) These many rules and regulations shall be openly printed ; but those arti- cles contained in the great Treces Doce shall be known only to active members, and shall not, upon penalty of Article ?. Section 1. Treces Doce, be made known to any other person whatsoever. There shall be but one exception to this rule: A member, upon becoming married, may divulge them to his wife. 152 THE SALONS DE CKRCLE Cafe Club Motto: Beat the flies to it Yell: Hulpidy, Gulpidy, f of, sing, saw; If you can ' t get ' em cooked.

How I long to be at home with my dear Papa and Mama, and all the children. One never knows what a devoted family he has until he gets far away among these burl} - , unsympa- thizing strangers. I just wish I could feel more deserving of the kindness you have always shown me. Sometimes I wish I could throw off this burden and rush to your aid, but again, I think I could he of more service had I an education. I reflect another time upon the great expense I am becoming to you. There are so many things, of which a person never dreams, that cost like all the world. Now I don ' t like to talk about the Professors or the cadet exchange, but, Papa, we change books here every salesday, and every time I put my head into the window of the exchange, paper advances in price. Ink and pens are always taking an upward shoot. Just to think, not more than a week ago, I asked my generous Old Pop for money, and now I haven ' t a cent. I don ' t see how you can be so good to me. I almost hide my face when I write that I must have ten more dollars. Oh ! if I didn ' t feel I was so extravagant ! I just will not mention the ten dollars (that it is absolutely necessary for me to have) again, for it hurts me to think of it. Give my love to mama and the children, and reserve a goodly portion for your dear old self. Your devoted son, Charlie. To a Friend at Home Week Later Dear Bo: Talking about skinches, but college life is the skinchiest skinch of all the skinches. The old man ' s dead easy. A little taffy, you know, on the installment plan fetches the dough. I ' ve about come to the conclusion, that these articles you call dough and rocks are about the only essentials of a college life. We smoke now, you know, with impunity, and the doctor being easy won. aids me in enjoying it. I get excused and sit with my feet in the window, using my legs to hold my Bunco Bill and Diamond Dick, and the time I ' m not gazing up at the beautiful curls of blue smoke that float above my silky locks, I am on some wild exploit with Diamond Dick. Bo, are you sporting the calico these days? Beware, old boy, they ' ll do you one. Listen at this — Nell writes through her friend — Sweetheart, while 176 making some candy for you, the other day, I burnt my finger very badly. I ' ll not be able to write again. I ' m a bit mum on subject, but I reckon she wounded herself in the early part of the operation, for I haven ' t seen the candy. I was walking down the beautiful streets of Clemson College one afternoon (excused, N. T. B. C ), while the other little lads were marching around with the muskets on their shoulders, trying to learn how to be tin soldiers, when I met my Waterloo. She was a perfect angel and trod the ground as lightly and spryly as a cat with a bell to its tail. Bo, I felt old Cupid ' s dart strike me vitals. I picked up the handkerchief she dropped for me, and we mutually decided to take a long walk and seek our health. We got as far as the north end of Boulevard when another N. T. B. C. stepped up and smilingly said, Ah ! good evening, you are ready, I suppose? She said, Yes, of course. But 1 found time to say that I wasn ' t exactly ready. Oh! he said, just sit down and rest awhile, I bet you are tired. She gave a little nod of her head and remarked. I am so sorry. I sat down for awhile, but somehow when I saw them disap- pear over the hill I didn ' t feel just exactly natural. Bo, I can ' t understand it all, but a great weight was lifted from my heart when she said she was sorry. I felt tired. She was sick the next time I asked to stroll, but that same old yap strolled with her that evening. Wake up, old lad, I bet you think I am shedding dew drops, but these ladies don ' t penetrate your Uncle Charley. Just do me the kindness to give Pop a little cocoanut taffy about Satur- day, I might need another William — the weed is getting low. Yours till death, Charley. P. S. — If you have any taffy left over just give Nell a slight nibble. My Dear Cousin Kate: I know I have just written to you ; but we shall call this Getting out an extra issue or anything, I don ' t care, only I must tell you how I have been treated at this place, and then I am sure you will ask mama to let me come home. You know of the many things I have written mama about the way I have been ill-treated and she has taken no notice of them. Now, I wish to tell you something that will surely touch her heart. The old laundryman here took two of those nice linen sheets that you and mama made for me. Here is the way it was. I sent out all four in my clothes bag last week. ( )pening the sack on its return, very much to my amazement. I found that the precious garments were missing. I went immediately to the clothes man with my trouble. Oh, he said, you can ' t get anything for those sheets. The proprietor says they were never put in the bag. I told him, I wondered where on earth they could have gone. The pro- prietor told me, he said, you left those sheets in the hall ; — that he didn ' t intend 177 to pay you a cent. Well. I replied, just hand me over the sheets. I ' ll send them out again. But they have been taken to the laundry. he said. Now, cousin. I may be wrong, as people usually think 1 am. hut I can ' t see what right any one has to move my garments from the hall and then tell me I can ' t get the articles or any pay for them. I told him what a time you and mama had in making these sheets; how mama would come out on the next train if she heard l this outrage, and what she would do for him with the broom when she arrived. He began to look anxiousl) around the corner to see if sin- wasn ' t coming just then. From his looks I believe he must have mvii mama before, or in some way become acquainted with her ways. lie closed the room in a hurry and said he was going to look for those sheets righl then and there. That evening I found a little rag ii m_ table with a note attached. Deal Bill. — Found this piece of cloth bearing your name, in the northeast corner of my clothes bag. I had just finished reading the note when a head popped in. Say, Bill, I have one of your sheets down in m room: but all four of mine are gone. For some reason, it appeared to me that some one must feel mighty comfort- able, tucked in with these nice sheets while mj friend and I were in direct connec- tion with the mattress. Well. I got one and a sixteenth sheet- and gave them credit for two. but still I inquired about the others. Went to laundrvtnan again — Say, mister, what about those sheets? Hi! he replied, they are tracin ' . ' em out. 1 was thinking if the) had to gel them up b) sixteenths the} would be a long time tracin ' them out. Did the proprietor ever justify himself in taking m sheets from the hall? I asked. I don ' t know what that is. he said. Well, how do you like your work? Pretty fair. he replied. I told him I would call around later and see how the chase was coming off. He must have forgot about mama, for he assumed a somewhat independent air throughout the conversation. Didn ' t like to mention her name again ; was afraid he ' d desert. With one sheet to last for -even months I was wondering just how 1 could manage to have it washed. Finally 1 decided to use m room-mate as an agent to better my fallen fortunes, for surely these laundry people had some grudge against me. I put the sheet neatly away in his sack and sent it out. Friday evening, I opened my bag as usual, and there to my surprise was one of my precious garments — a little note pinned to the edge: Dear Mr. , Rejoice and be glad; we have found one of your long lost sheets. Still tracin ' out the other. I was in high glee until my room-mate brought his sack and pulled out a little note: Dear Mr. . We have found one of Mr. ' s sheets (that has been lost) in your sack. We send it to him with his other clothes. Tra, la. 178 I didn ' t say much after that ; but I thought a whole lot. Now, cousin, with all the things I have told you before, and this — how can you let me stay at such a place? If you love me, beg mama to let me come home. With lots of love, I am your devoted cousin, Charley. 179 Application for Corporal Dear Capt. Sirmyer: I am a tall, robust, square-shouldered, curly-headed, well-built, graceful walking-, young cadet who wishes to take this opportunity to apply for a corporal. I entered Clemson in September and have devoted my earnest attention to the military feature of this place and believe I possess all the qualifications neces- sary to justify you in giving me the position. From early boyhood I have dreamed of battles and wars, and feel now that there lies within me the foundation of a great military genius. I swell with pride even now when I think of the great show my little company made at the school entertainment. We only had stick guns and a tin pan for a drum, but the thunder- ing applause of that enthusiastic audience sent the same thrills through my frame that stirred the hearts of Caesar and Bonaparte. Resides all this. I have lived in the country all my life and have so exercised my voice, while driving the cows from the pasture, that I can set the woods aring- ing with those wild echoes of which, the poets so often speak. My medium aim is to be a captain, and. to place myself in a noticeable posi- tion. I have thus applied for a corporal. If you will grant me this favor, when I am ' Secretary of War ' I shall make you a ' Col. ' in the cavalry, under condition you behave Yourself. ( Please don ' t take this as disrespect. I only wish to acquaint you with my ambitions). Lastly. I wish to add. that the boys all say I am a real mili- tary looking man. Believe me to be ever yours, W. C. W . P. S. — If you are traveling anywhere near home this summer, drop in to see us. 180 Class Will In the Name of God. Amen. We the members of Class of ' 04, of sound mind, do hereby make this our last legal disposition of all property, both personal and general, which is our allotment. To President Mell, the head of the institution, we will a long and peaceful reign, assisted by perfect sanitary conditions in and around barracks, kindness shown to recruits, the unbroken telegraph insulators and the promiscuous walking of the cadets over the campus green. To increase the prosperity of the College, we will to Col. Hardin one of our capacious edifices, to be used in the manufacture of sulphuric acid. May, also, the services of his ready assistant be used to relieve the anxiety of his students, by prompt returns of his examinations. We further offer Jerry, as a reducing agent. We leave Prof. Furman a modern book of jokes, and a new line of literary gems, trusting that in the future his students will laugh at the proper time, and always know where the lessons begin. With due respect to Marie, we leave him another steed. To Prof. Morrison, we bequeath an unabridged edition of the latest Gazeteer ( ?) and a complete set of the World ' s Almanacs. We trust ( ?) that his peace may not be disturbed by the rumblings of the Empty wagons, howls of the Hit dogs, tumblings of the Rolling stones, and the voices of the 2x4, 22 short, hammered down, sawed off peanut politicians. We will Prof. Brodie a long and useful life integrated between the limits of supreme happiness and prosperity. We will that Col. Newman may continue eloquent on the devastations wrought by the hillside ditch, and the redemption of our south-land by Bermuda grass and humus. May the secrets of his Alabama experiments be implanted into the hearts of every Clemson student. To Prof. Riggs, we will a propensity for answering questions in the labora- tory, wishing him a hasty realization of his long desired reputation (authority on Elec. Eng.) We hope that his tachometer invention may cut a lot of ice and a good many figures in the scientific world. We leave to Prof. Beaty another year on the Pension list. In leaving Prof. Lewis a keg of ocean ooze, and a goodly supply of calcareous and fossiliferous rocks, we hope, upon condition that he shall deal kindly with the trilobites, braciopods, amphibians, flying reptiles, and mammals, that he may suc- cessfully trace out the tree of life and become personally acquainted with the miss- 181 ing link. To satisfy Chunk, we further bestow upon him a solution that will outen volcanoes. We will Prof. Lee a disposition to have patients, to smile serenely and to impress his classes with the fact, that they must do Less talking and more work. To Prof. Kyser we bequeath the infinitessimal increment of the Logarithmic ( ?) decrement of the Ballistic galvanometer ; trusting that the cells o f his brain may never experience a short circuit, and that Gauss may never acquire a new tangent position. We leave with Prof. Earle his entire knowledge of thermodynamics, Carnots reversible engine, cantilever beams, slide valves, etc. Note: Were it possible, we would not be so generous. Upon Prof. McLucas, we bestow unit} ' , mass, and coherence. We add, also, a pail of blue and red paint, to be used in decorating compositions. Prof. Carter Newman: ( ?) We will that the curculio may never destroy his apples and even though there be a host of cabbage worms, we will that his strength may not bend down, under the inspiration of the doctrine, The Survival of the Fittest. We will Prof. Chambliss a copy of the book, How to get along with your fellow men, trusting that he will give it an earnest reading. To Prof. Nesom we leave the latest treatise on glanders. We will Prof. Reeves a continuation of his good looks. May his phenomenal career as a military man bespeak for him a life pregnant with brilliant achieve- ments. We will that Dr. Brackett may live long to enjoy the undivided attention of his classes, and to appreciate the value of an acute detection of the slightest traces of all gases, even 1 and ' i S. May his test tubes never be lost intentionally or un- intentionally. To Prof. Parker we will a New Testament. We leave Prof. Henry, The One Woman found in the library. To Prof. Klugh we will a disposition to modify the acuteness of his sarcasm. We bequeath to Prof. Gantt the latest edition of How to Blush, and an ideal breed of swine that will come up to his expectations. We will to Capt. Sirmyer a crown of laurels for his noted speech on the gangway. We hope that the light of his countenance may sometimes shine at prayers, and that the reaction of his presence among the corps, may not continue to be a strong reducing agent. We will Prof. Martin a magnificent career. One in which he may always see the joke as easy as falling off a greasy log. To Prof. James we leave Prof. Beaty ' s capacity for spinning yarns. Hit don ' t make no difference how rocky his course in life may be, we will that Prof. Shealy ' s persistence may be rewarded with abundant success. 182 To Prof. Hook we will a rip-snorting, roaring good time. ' ' By all odds, we will Prof. Metcalf a servant to fetch his dinner. To Prof. Houston, a bottle of hair restorer. Prof. Shanklin we leave a downy couch, a cozy corner and a thousand slaves to do his bidding ; hoping that it will always rain during his periods for prac- tical work. We bequeath to Prof. Griswold a new system of marking. 183 rj Title Page . . Imprint ...... Greeting ...... Dedication ..... Col. M. B. Hardin — Illustration Major Mark Bernard Hardin Drawing ......
